#;;the sphinx's blessing ∣∣ verse

[witchofthesouls]

Mikaela gets to be a dragon! yess she deserves it! Sam "Boy Maguffin Chosen One" Witkey discovers himself be a tanish/goldish Doge Neon.

You're right I wasn't thinking big enough. Sphinxes, Narwhals, tugboats. Propeller Sea planes, submarines, a California condor or albatros, Gryphon, a combine harvester, somebody and their family become a pack of Cybertronian wolves. Some MFer becomes a unicorn. An octopuss. There will be some conventional vehicles but what's a salt truck to a seeker, amirte?

Ratchet’s worried about what is gonna show up next. Earth only animal? Mythological Criter? Vehicle? Land, sea or air based alt mode? No one knows.

Worse Decepticons do long term deep cover too. So more than just Autobot adjacent humans are vulnerable and showing up. Worst inteoduction to Robot fight club is discovering you are now 1, a robot, and 2 part of the fight club by default. On the flip side worst way to have your cover blown is when your cover becomes a pack of mechanical wolves and you have to eject them in the middle of rush hour because frag that.

Agent asshelm can be a Ford Pinto tho. He don't deserve anything cool.

I don't know if Sam would be cyberformed, or at least not at first.

One day I'll sit down and properly tag the specific AUs, but in the verse where Mikaela became a Dragon blessed by TFP visitor Unfathomable!June who once was Megatronus Prime, I would like the explore a reverse of the dynamic where she is the one that needs to deal with the worldview shattering ventures. Among other things. Bayverse is doing the "Earth is Unicron" subplot, and I'm running away with it!

But in this case, Sam had an out. He was able to return to normalcy with additional comforts as a human that the Autobots are very attached to. Mikaela doesn't.

Now, Mikaela not only has to figure out what does it mean to be claimed by a titanic deity on Earth and Cybertron, but navigate the secrets of the Foundation and the rising tensions Elsewhere as many turned their gazes to the Autobots' presence due to a new Dragon after many ages gone. With the additional aspects that TFP!Megatronus and Bayverse!Fallen may have played different roles or something went wrong in the later verse, Mikaela may be meant to be an act of atonement from Megatronus. Unlike him, who's chained, she's able to move freely with his authority.

Mikaela can not go home anymore. Yes, she may have access to her Earth home, but normalcy is now beyond her.

A Dragon!Mikaela and a Sam that's housed the Allspark would need to figure out themselves as individuals and as a couple.

So, going back to it, there should be way more mythical and fantastical transformations, especially with the wild stuff going on across cultures. Like we can have actual merformers here and magical girl sequences.

      The butler sighed in defeat. It didn’t matter how many times he explained something so simple, Edward would deny it as possible, despite his eyes still being glued on the screen showing the images his security camera was capturing at that very moment. A child. In his property. Past his security system that was made specifically to keep away criminals and annoying vigilantes. It was such a foreign concept he couldn’t help but stare in silence at the screen for a whole minute.

     "What a curious thing...” He couldn’t quite look away, calculating whatever way this kid had ended up roaming his backyard, but at this point he had to. Signing for Quizzley to stay and keep an eye out, Nygma grabbed his cane and walked out, heading to where he last saw the kid, still wondering the ‘how’s and ‘why’s of this situation.

"Dad!" The little girl throws her hands up in delight. "I missed you!"

  “My sweet little muse!” Edward grins wide, picking the girl up with ease and kissing her forehead. It’s a rather odd feeling, realizing he missed someone he considered ‘family’. “I hope you didn’t give Quizzley too much trouble while I was away, though I expect you’ve given him some trouble at the very least.”

  “Ah, so it is a boy after all!” The former criminal pointed at his teenage daughter, his grin still as smug as ever. He had been a bit suspicious of her behavior lately, and though he certainly wouldn’t spy on her to find out the reason that didn’t mean he wouldn’t try and guess it.

 “You don’t want your old man to find out about your boyfriend, so that is why you’ve been avoiding me.” He crossed his arms, convinced he was correct. “Bella, you should know by now I just want to see you happy! There’s really no reason to hide this sort of thing from me.”

"Dad." A tiny head pops from behind Edward's desk to look at what her Dad was doing. A tiny little slap was heard on his desk before she spoke up again. "Dad!"

         Edward finally looked up from his computer, fingers still over specific letters on the keyboard as he looked down at the source of the tiny voice. Her demands to be noticed were inherited from her father surely, and just having her there was always a reason to make the former criminal smile. Yes, his pride and joy.

        “Is something wrong, my dear?”

"Your teacher told me all about what happened. Be still, my dear.”

Edward carefully pressed the clean cloth over his daughter’s face, washing it from any remaining blood or dirt. He feared this would happen eventually... Some inferior brat who could not handle Bella’s genius would try and bully his daughter. He would have a serious conversation with the school principal, this kind of thing at this day and age was unacceptable.

“Now, next time anyone says anything bad to you, remember: If they’re close enough, hit them with your elbow, not your fist! That’ll throw them off for a while.”

HC + Family

    Edward despises his own family, enough that he erased their names from every legal document he had that needed the information. He filled them up with fictitious names he usually made up on the spot, doing his best to distance himself from the house he grew up him. As a father, his main goal is to know that his daughter would never even have to consider doing something so drastic herself. But then again, being raised by a known former criminal doesn’t look so good for everyone else...

"Happy Father's Day!" Bella comes running in with what looks like a tray of breakfast. "Quizzley helped me make breakfast fer' you!" She places the tray on his lap. She's made him a nice serving of large pancakes.

     “What-? Oh, don’t run-!!” Edward blinks a few times, confused about the sudden commotion. It tales him a moment to connect the first phrase with what’s happening. For very personal reasons he completely erased the date from his mind, a celebration that he despised ever since he was a child. Looking at his daughter still a bit dumbfounded he forces a smile, laughing at himself for... forgetting.

    “Thank you, Bella... Thank you very much, my dear.”

     “Don’t you ever disappear like that again, you hear? Ever!”

    Edward Nygma was a proud man. He believed he could take great care of himself and anything or anyone he valued. His cleverness had kept him alive for so long, it would serve just as good to protect his daughter. Yet... When he received the call from his butler, telling him she didn’t seem to be at school grounds when he was supposed to pick her up, Edward panicked.

    Greedy idiots decided that kidnapping the heir or Nygmatech was a smart move. He did not hesitate in getting in contact with the dark knight himself to find her. It was a long night and he was on edge when they finally found the poor girl. While the hero bothered disarming and punishing the fools who dared take his daughter away, Edward took the girl in his arms, hugging her tight as if she would vanish again if he let go. He had never felt fear like this before, and hoped he would never have to feel again.

A knock is heard at his bedroom door before it's opened slightly. The girl peeks her head in, eyes puffy and face red from crying. "...'m sorry that I yelled at you..."

     Edward barely moved his eyes away from the papers at hand as he heard the knock. He was only in bed due to the insistence of his butler and the absolutely unnecessary remark of how miserable he looked after what happened earlier. ‘Some rest should fix that, sir’. As if he could rest now...

    But when the tiny voice made it clear who was there to see him, the man left his research aside, offering a tired smile. It was a relief, yes. But he couldn’t help but dread the sinking feeling in his chest once he noticed the girl had been crying. “Bella, why are you still awake? It’s way past your bedtime!” Nygma gestured for her to come closer, trying his best to seem reassuring.

FATAL MEME: "DAD!" The teenager falls to her knees, hands and breath shaking when she crawls to her Dad. "Wh-Why did you do that?! G-God..." She begins to dig into her purse, searching for her phone. "H-Hang on...I-I'll call an ambulance!"

       His hands move quickly, searching, until he finds hers. After years of living on the edge as a criminal, he never imagined being this close to death would terrify him. But that was before he had his daughter to care for. Nygma squeezed her hand lightly, trying to get her attention, keep her calm. The pain was growing strong, but so was a strange sense of numbness, one he’d fight by keeping his focus on her.

      "They didn’t hurt you, did they? Tell me you’re okay...” He frowned, pulling her hand close to his chest. She was so scared... Somehow, Edward felt ashamed of making her go through this, but it was better than having her hurt in any way. “I’ll be fine as long as you are, Bella. Be strong.” He’d do his best to smile, to fight. This is how he wants her to remember him.

     "You’re my pride and joy. Y-you know that, right?"

🛏️ [[BABBY]]

         Edward knew his daughter was an energetic child. It was pointless to tell her to go to bed early during weekends, she’d sneak out and find a good excuse to be close, be it a shadowy figure under her bed or a clever idea she just had to share. He focused on his work, letting hours go by until eventually things got a little too quiet in the house.

         He wasn’t surprised at all when he found the little girl almost asleep in the living room, surrounded by toys and drawings she created. He picked her up carefully, already expecting any excuse she could give him to let her stay up just a little more. Nygma carried her to the bedroom, singing softly as if he told Bella a secret, one she should keep close to heart.

You've given me a second chance when I really needed it and I love you for that. I know I bother you a lot when it comes to your work but you still manage to make time for me. Thanks, Dad.

   “Ah... Well, any good father should make time for his children. A great one will always make them his priority. And I am always aiming to be the best, you know!
