-- Stay with me --

stay is a sensitive word. we wear who stayed and who left in our skin forever.

- Nayyirah Waheed

-- September 2, 2013 --

Some cases stick with you long after you board the jet home. Some cases crawl inside your skin and hollow you out. Some cases become a part of you.

The team had been called to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to help catch a serial killer. I had only been a member of the BAU for 4 months, so it wasn’t uncommon for cases to still rattle me. Rossi said that I’d develop a thicker skin over time.

But this case seemed to even rattle him.

Over the past 15 years, on the same day every year, a woman’s body was found in a public place. She had been violently assaulted and tortured. The local M.E. always said the torture took place over the span of at least 10 months.

I felt my stomach roll when I read over the case file. I don’t think there was a form of pain he didn’t inflict on these women.

We had his prints; we had his DNA. None of that mattered, this man was a ghost.

September 1st had been fast approaching, and the local police knew they most likely couldn’t save the woman that had already spent the last several months with him. One deputy said that killing the woman would be a mercy, because “who could ever recover from that.”

We spent a week in Oklahoma; we started at the very beginning. I poured over the lives of 15 women, praying that maybe I could help us find 16 in time, praying I could save 17 before he ever touched her.

“Morgan,” Hotch said, his eyes scanning over the document in front of him. “I want you and y/n to interview Heather Pruitt’s brother.”

Derek’s eyebrows went up. “We’ve already talked to him, Hotch. He has an alibi. Do you think he knows something else?”

The unit chief nodded. “Heather was our first victim. She was important to the unsub.”

“Probably the most important,” Rossi chimed in.

Hotch nodded. “Understanding why Heather was so special to him is how we catch him.”

Morgan clicked his tongue against his teeth, nodding in agreement. “Okay…” he trailed off. “Are you sure y/n is up for this?” He turned to me; hands raised. “No offense, it’s just that…”

“I’m young,” I finished for him. Dr. Spencer Reid was the youngest person to ever join the BAU…and I was the second. I was 25 years old. The closest person in age to me was the resident genius, Dr. Reid, who was almost 32. I had earned my spot in the team, but I was no Spencer.

Morgan nodded, not looking abashed in the slightest. “Maybe Blake would be a better choice, Hotch.”

His dark eyes ran over me, considering Morgan’s words. “I’m sending her in because she’s so young. People don’t perceive her as a threat.”

“They never saw me as one,” Spencer said softly.

JJ laughed, swatting his arm. “You’re still not a threat, Spence.”

-- August 31, 2013 –

“Mr. Pruitt,” I said brightly, extending my hand. “Thank you so much for coming to speak with us.”

The older man nodded, meeting my gaze evenly. “Anything to help you catch this son of a bitch.” He turned to the woman beside him. “Rachel, darlin’, why don’t you wait right here? I don’t want you to have to…hear about what happened to my sister.”

The woman, Rachel, was small and pale. She had dark brown hair and blue eyes. “Of course,” she said softly, pressing a kiss against David Pruitt’s mouth.

"Do you need anything, ma'am?" I asked her.

“No,” she responded meekly. “I’m fine.”

I looked right into her eyes and smiled warmly at her before I turned away to follow Morgan and Mr. Pruitt into the interview room.

-- September 1, 2013 –

The entire team was standing around the precinct waiting for the call. JJ was gripping her cup of coffee tightly. Reid was staring at a map that was taped on the evidence board. Morgan was looking down at his phone while he talked to Blake. Hotch and Rossi were standing near the Sherriff of Broken Arrow.

We hadn’t stopped him. If he held to pattern, then victim 16 was already gone, and we’d be getting a call about her body soon.

I felt numb. I felt like I had missed something.

The shrill ringing of a phone made all of us tense up, every head in the precinct immediately turning to the receptionist at the front of the room. She spoke for a few moments before she hung up, giving the sheriff a grim nod. “She’s at the park off 6th street, Bruce.”

We all sprang into action, racing out the door to our vehicles. Morgan drove one SUV, Hotch drove the other. We knew we were too late for this girl, but maybe, just maybe, if we got there quick enough and the crime scene was fresh enough, we could find something.

The local police beat us there by a few minutes. Hotch hadn’t even parked before I was opening the door.

I couldn’t explain it then, but I had a feeling that settled in the pit of my stomach. It was a darkness I couldn’t pinpoint, the sort of thing that made the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

She was on a park bench, her eyes wide and unseeing. “No,” I whispered, my voice cracking.

“Jesus fucking Christ,” Morgan sighed out before he turned and marched back to his SUV.  

I felt someone’s hands grip my shoulders. “Y/l/n,” Hotch said gently. “I know, but we have to go. He’s revealed himself now. He’s going to try to run.”

And I knew he was right, so I bottled my feelings up as I ran towards the SUVs. We had to find David Pruitt before he left town.

He was our unsub. He killed his sister 16 years ago…and we were certain of that because the 16th victim was his girlfriend.

The same girlfriend that was within our reach yesterday. She was being tortured by this animal…and we had let her go home with him.

-- September 2, 2013 –

The mood on the jet felt heavy. No one was speaking, no one had said much of anything since we found Mary Beth in the park yesterday morning.

Her name wasn’t even Rachel. David Pruitt had to take everything from his victims, including their names. He broke her so badly that not only did she not scream for help in the middle of a police station, she probably couldn’t even remember her own name.

I couldn’t read the entire autopsy report. Rossi and Morgan went to the morgue to speak with the M.E.

Rossi said he was surprised she was even able to stand the day we saw her.

And that was the hardest thing of all. We fucking saw her.

I wasn’t quite sure how the rest of the team managed to keep their emotions so compartmentalized. I saw how this was bothering each of them, but none of them seemed close to breaking.

Not like I was.

I just kept seeing her face over and over again. Her wide eyes, her polite smile. The pictures of her broken body. How different her eyes looked when she was on the park bench. It was all on a loop in my mind.

When we boarded the jet, I sat in the very back, away from the rest of the team. I stared out the window, unseeing. How could I have missed it?

“Y/l/n,” a voice said softly. “Are you okay?”

I hadn’t realized that tears were slipping down my cheeks until I heard Hotch’s voice. I looked up at him. He was my unit chief, the strongest of any of us. If there was anyone I couldn’t afford to break in front of, it was him.

“Yeah,” I said hurriedly, wiping at my eyes. “Sorry.”

“Don’t apologize, y/n.”

I just nodded. Please leave, please leave. If he walked away, maybe I could hold it together a little while longer.

But he didn’t leave. He knelt down beside me in the middle of the aisle. In the months since I joined the BAU, I had made sure to never get too close to SSA Hotchner. There was something about him that fascinated me…and I knew he was a good enough profiler to see it, because I wasn’t skilled enough to hide it.

This was the closest I'd ever physically been to him. I was close enough to notice that his eyes weren’t a flat shade of brown; they were a warm chocolate brown and he had freckles across the bridge of his nose.

“Y/n,” he said softly, reaching out to take one of my hands in his larger one. “It’s okay. This isn’t your fault. This is the job; we can’t save them all.”

“But I saw her,” I whispered, feeling the dam break inside of me. “I talked to her.”

Hotch must have realized I was already too far gone to hold myself together anymore. I just kept seeing her eyes, over and over and over.

He stood abruptly, pulling me up with him. He led me into the back area near the restroom. There was a small countertop here, but most importantly, there was a curtain that could be pulled closed, giving us all the privacy anyone could get on this plane.

I stared up at him in bewilderment while he closed the curtain. By the very nature of the area and given how big he was, our bodies were much closer together than I had ever allowed.

“I know you won’t break down in front of everyone else,” he said quietly. “You still feel like you have something to prove. You don’t, but I understand why you feel that way. You’re a part of this team, y/n.”

I dug my teeth into my bottom lip, holding on to the last threads of my composure.

“Now, I can leave you here and you can pull yourself together,” he continued. “Or I can stay with you.”

This was one of the reasons I hadn’t allowed myself to be near him. There was something in Hotch’s eyes when he looked at me that always made me feel so safe. He was always fierce with a scowl on his face; occasionally he’d surprise me with his dry humor.

I hadn’t known his eyes could look so soft and it pulled on something inside me.  

“I was so close I could have touched her,” I whispered. “And he…he…” I broke off as the first sob ripped out of my throat. Mary Beth was 23 years old. She had a younger brother and two loving parents. Her best friend, Anna, wore Mary Beth’s favorite necklace around her neck. None of them had given up hope.

And I had let her go home with him to die.

I had to watch when her parents got the news that we were so close, but he broke her too badly, she never cried out for help.

I closed my eyes to stop the tears from slipping down my cheeks, desperately trying to pull myself together.

My heart hurt so badly I barely reacted when Hotch’s arms wrapped around me, pulling me against him. I just buried my face against his chest while he rubbed my back. I was taking the comfort he offered, even though I didn’t deserve it. I was vaguely aware of him whispering against my hair, but I couldn’t understand what he was saying.

I failed her.

It took a few minutes for my tears to slow. I was able to bottle my pain back up again and take a few breaths. My arms were trapped between our bodies and when I went to pull them free, Hotch started to release me, no doubt assuming I wanted to end our embrace.

I didn’t.

I took a step forward when he took one back, wrapping my arms around his middle, pressing my cheek against his shirt that I just realized was damp from my tears. “Is this okay?” I whispered.

He had frozen for a moment before his arms tightened around me again. “Of course, sweet girl.”

I was just so content to be in his arms that I didn’t even process the term of endearment. “I got your shirt wet.”

“It’ll dry.”

I hummed against him, still so reluctant to let him go. “You smell nice, Hotch.”

He chuckled quietly. “Thanks. And given our current situation, you can call me Aaron.”

I nodded; my thoughts still somber. “I let her down. I let her go. I could have touched her.”

His hands kept rubbing over my back. “You’ve never let anyone down,” he murmured. “Not even for a single moment.”

--

Aaron didn’t feel like my boss when his arms were wrapped around me. He was just a man who held me for as long as I had needed before finally releasing me, offering me a small smile when I moved int the bathroom to try and fix my face.  

I don’t know what he said to each team member, but none of them paid any attention to me when I walked out. They weren’t ignoring me, they just seemed unaware of what happened, even though I knew they weren’t.

Whatever he had done, I was immensely grateful.

It was just after 10 pm when the jet touched down in Quantico.

“Go home,” Hotch said as we all grabbed our go bags. “The paperwork can wait til tomorrow.”

Rossi clapped our unit chief on the shoulder. “This one was a hard one. I know it’s painful, but we can’t save them all.”

But why couldn’t I just save her? I thought.

When we were walking off the tarmac, Morgan spoke. “Kid, lemme give you a lift home. It’s not far.”

Reid’s brows drew together in confusion. “Yes, it is. You live on the other side of town.”

"Just let me do something nice for you, smartass."

Their banter almost pulled a smile from me, but I couldn’t. Everything still felt so heavy.

“What about you, y/l/n?” JJ asked.

It wasn’t a secret that I took the train like Reid did. I’d only lived in D.C. for the four months I’d been a member of the team. Reid didn’t drive because of car crash statistics; I didn’t drive because I hadn’t gotten around to getting a car.

“The train is still running. Which is probably good,” I muttered to her. “It’ll give me time to think.”

She just nodded, giving my arm a squeeze as we all walked into the bullpen to gather the things we had left before the case.

I stayed in the bullpen longer than everyone else. It’s not that I didn’t love them, I truly did. But I just…I couldn’t be brave right now.

“I know it’s not my place, but I really don’t want you to take the train home.”

My lips pulled into a smile then, even though I couldn’t bring myself to face him. “It’s no big deal, Hotch. I’m a full-grown FBI agent. I’ll be fine taking the train home.”

“You might be,” he conceded. “But I won’t be.”

“What?” I questioned, unable to stop my body from turning towards him.

Hotch stepped closer to me, looking slightly unsure. “I…I’ll be worried.”

His words felt important, and I realized the thought of him worrying bothered me.

He heaved out a great sigh, his eyes looked so tired. “Jack’s already in bed, Jessica is staying with him tonight. Please, let me take you home.”

How could I tell him no?

--

The ride back to my apartment was quiet. Hotch seemed to know where I lived without me having to tell him. He had turned the radio on in his SUV, but the volume was so low it was just background noise.

I watched the raindrops roll down the passenger side window and all I could think about was Mary Beth. I wonder if she liked the rain.

“Don’t do that.”

My entire body froze before I turned to look at the man in the car with me. “I’m not doing anything.”

“Yes, you are,” he insisted. “Y/n, you did all you could. This isn’t on you. We were all in that precinct. I offered her my hand when she left the station.” His hands were now gripping the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles were white.

“Aaron,” I whispered, reaching out to put my hand on his forearm.

“If you blame yourself, you’ll have to blame me too.”

Tears started to fill my eyes again. I didn’t know what to say. “I couldn’t blame you.”

I saw his throat work as he swallowed, his eyes fixed on the building in front of us. I hadn’t even realized we had pulled into my apartment complex.  

“Then you know why I can’t let you blame yourself.” He killed the engine and took his seatbelt off.

“What are you doing?”

He looked at me in confusion, like it should be obvious. “I’m walking you to your door.”

Oh. “Why?”

Aaron paused, considering his next words. “Because I can’t leave you yet.”

He was out of the car and opening my door before my brain could even process his words. I slid out beside him, clutching my jacket around myself. It didn’t help, the chill I felt was coming from inside of my body.

Aaron pulled my go-bag from the back seat then shrugged me off when I tried to take it from him.

Despite all the emotions I was feeling, I couldn’t resist teasing him a bit. “Are you secretly a gentleman, Aaron Hotchner?”

He looked sheepish for a moment. My mean ass, always scowling FBI unit chief that intimidated almost everyone on a daily basis looked sheepish because I called him a gentleman.

“Just don’t tell anyone,” he warned, shutting the car door.

I felt a tiny smile tug up the corners of my lips. The first smile I’d felt since…

Just like that, the guilt hit me again. How could I be smiling?

We had just reached my apartment door when a tiny sob ripped out of my throat.  “Aaron…I can’t stop seeing what he did to her. She was in pain. And she-she fought back. She didn’t want to…and I can’t.”

“Oh, sweetheart don’t do that.” He dropped my go bag and wrapped his arms around me, once again offering me the comfort I didn't deserve.

The only time I had felt right in the past few days was when I was in this man’s arms. My question slipped out of my mouth before I had a chance to think better of it. “Will you stay with me?” I whispered against his chest.

I felt his body stiffen. Fuck. I pulled away from him, quickly wiping at my face. “I’m sorry, Hotch. You’ve got Jack and you’re my boss. It’s inappropriate. I’m so sorry.”

My hands were shaking when I reached to pick up my go-bag from the floor.

“Y/n, it’s not that I don’t want to,” he explained, his hand grabbing mine right before I touched my bag. “It’s not Jack, he went to be hours ago. But I am your supervisor, and I can’t take advantage of you.”

His words hung in the air, feeling almost as heavy as the pain in my chest. “The only time I feel anything good is when I’m with you, Aaron.”

My eyes were fixed on his bigger hand that engulfed mine, but I felt his eyes on me.

“I don’t think I could leave you now even if I wanted to,” he mumbled.

My keys shook when I unlocked the door and once we were inside my tiny apartment, the gravity of everything finally seemed to hit me.  

"I can leave, y/n," he reminded me as if he could tell what I was thinking.

I licked my lips, looking around the room before I could look at him. “I want you to stay,” I pleaded, trying to summon every ounce of courage I had ever felt. “I know it’s not…I’m sure it breaks a million regulations and protocols. But…can you stay with me tonight? I just…I don’t want to be alone.”

What I was asking him for was so much more complicated than just spending the night at my apartment. I think we both knew that if he stayed something was going to change.

“Are you sure it’s what you want?”

I nodded, my eyes never leaving his.

--

I was sitting up in my bed, picking at the threads of my comforter when Aaron got out of the shower. He’d insisted I shower first while he went to grab his go bag and call Jack’s aunt. I felt the energy around me shift the moment he stepped into the room.  

“Are you okay?”

I bit my lip, unsure of how to answer him. "I don't know." I looked up, my eyes meeting his dark ones. "Can-can you stay with me? Just for a little while?"

For a moment I thought he might say no, but his shoulders dropped, and he jerked his head in a tight nod. “Of course.”

He came around to the right side of my bed, looking torn for a moment before I pulled the covers down, indicating I wanted him to get under. I laid my body down while he adjusted himself on to my bed.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you not in a suit,” I mused, motioning to his t-shirt with a faded FBI logo and his flannel pajama pants.

He scoffed, pulling the covers up to his abdomen. “It’s a rare occurrence.” He had settled on his back, one of his arms bent behind his head, the other one resting on his abdomen.

“Aaron,” I breathed out. “Can I…will you…I don’t want to-“

“Hey,” he said, bringing my attention back to him. “You can ask me anything, y/n.”

“Will you hold me?” I begged, my voice breaking in my effort to suppress my emotions.  

My eyes were shut tight, so I didn’t see the look of agony that washed over Aaron’s face. I only felt his body shift closer to mine before his arms came around me again, bringing me flush against his side.

At that moment, even though I felt terrible about myself, I found some solace in the fact that a man like Aaron Hotchner wouldn’t be holding me like this if I were truly a monster.

His big hand ran up and down my back while my head lay on his chest; I was taking comfort from everything about him, his smell, the feel of him holding me, even the steady beating of his heart under my ear.

I made no move to pull away from him; it was selfish, but I couldn’t let him go.

“Thank you for staying,” I whispered into the darkness. Right before I fell asleep, I think I felt his lips brush against my forehead.

--

Several hours later my eyes snapped open when my body jerked suddenly. The instant my eyes were open the nightmare was gone, I could barely remember any of it, not that I needed to. What else could it have been about?

“Hey,” a voice rasped out. “Are you okay?”

I realized I was still in Aaron’s arms. My head was still on his chest, one of his arms was wrapped around my body.

He had stayed with me.

“Yeah, I think so. Just a nightmare.”

He hummed in understanding. “Do you want to talk about it?”

“I don’t think I can.”

Aaron’s arm tightened around me. “I’ll be here whenever you’re ready.”

My fingers traced nonsense patterns over his chest, my mind racing. I felt so incredibly young then. I was lost in a sea of guilt and despair, and my only anchor was Aaron Hotchner.

It was easier to ask him in the darkness of my bedroom. “Do you feel this too?” I whispered.

The stillness that overtook his body indicated he knew what I meant. “Y/n…I...”

I lifted my head off of his chest, looking down at his face. “If I’m wrong, it’s okay to tell me.”

I saw those dark brown eyes scan over my face; I saw the indecision behind them. “I’ve felt it for a long time,” he said at last. “But you’re hurting, and I’m your-“

I brought a finger up to press against his lips, effectively silencing him. "Then make me not hurt. Please?" The finger I had on his lips started tracing the shape of them, over his cupid's bow, down to his fuller bottom lip.

With an amount of courage that I didn’t know I had, I pushed myself up, swinging my leg over his body. I leaned over his face bringing my lips so close to his. “Please,” I whispered against his lips. Just be with me. Be here with me, Aaron.”

I felt his self-control crumble a moment before one of his hands gripped my hip while the other slid behind the back of my head. He pulled me down until my lips were against his.

If I had allowed myself to think about kissing Aaron Hotchner before, this wouldn’t have been what I expected. His lips were gentle as the brushed against mine, his tongue wasn’t demanding when it slid against the seam of my mouth, his thumb brushed over my cheek while his tongue slicked against mine.

I was the one that broke our sweet kiss to pull my shirt from my body. Baring myself to him this way was nothing compared to how much of my soul he’d already seen. Those dark brown eyes were filled with heat when they ran over my body, his large hands felt reverent when they brushed over my skin.

He rolled us until I was on my back underneath him. Aaron kissed down the column of my throat, down over my collarbones until he reached my breasts. His mouth felt almost scalding when it covered my nipple. I arched up against him, a strangled moan tore from my throat when his blunt fingers slid into my panties.

“You’re so soft,” he whispered against my skin while he trailed wet kisses down my stomach. “Can I?” he asked when he reached the band of my sleep shorts and panties.

If I had had any doubts that I wanted Aaron Hotchner, that question would have gotten rid of them. I was begging him to take me, to make me feel anything other than the pain in my chest…and he still needed to make sure I wanted this.

I hooked my thumbs into my waistband, pulling them down while those almost black eyes ran over every inch of newly exposed skin. “You’re wearing too many clothes,” I rasped out.

He reached behind his back to grab the neck of his t-shirt, pulling it off of his body. Before I could blink, he had settled between my thighs, his mouth right above where I ached for him. “I can’t believe I get to touch you like this.”

Any response I would have made was broken off by a loud groan when his tongue parted my folds. His tongue circled my clit before moving down to dip inside of me. The moan that vibrated against me when he tasted me was the sexist thing I had ever heard.

I couldn’t feel anything but him.

My fingers threaded through his hair while his mouth worked me over. It didn’t feel like this was the first time we had been together like this. He touched me like he had known me for years.

But I needed more.

“Aaron,” I whimpered, my fingers tugging on his short dark hair. His eyes snapped open, but his mouth didn’t lift from my pussy. “I need to feel you inside me. Please?”

He pressed a final kiss to my pussy before he pulled away, moving up my body. Before he settled against me, he pushed his pants and underwear down his thighs. I felt how hard he was, how much he wanted this, against my pussy while his upper body loomed over me. One of my hands pulled him down to me, crashing his mouth against mine; with the other I reached down to grab his cock, running it up and down my slit.

Aaron moaned into my mouth when I lined him up and he started to press inside of me. He gave a few swallow thrusts, allowing my body to adjust to his size before he slid all the way inside of me.

I had never had sex like this before. Sometimes in the past, it had felt like I was just loaning my body out to someone, taking whatever pleasure I got in return. This felt so different. Aaron moved against me like he needed me, his lips ran over my skin like being allowed to touch me was a gift.

He set a steady rhythm, his hips moving against mine in just the right way. He was kissing my neck, moaning my name against my skin when he brought his thumb down to my clit, massaging me while he moved against me.

“Aaron,” I breathed.

His mouth was against mine again. "I've got you, sweet girl, I've got you."

My nails dug into his back, my body arched against him, and my mouth opened in a silent scream when I flew apart underneath him. His head dropped down against my shoulder as he found his own release inside of me.

Aaron’s big body was settled on top of me, but he didn’t feel crushing, it felt safe.

When we had both started to come down from our orgasms, he rolled us against until I was on top of his body, my head on his chest. He pulled the covers over our bodies and pressed a kiss against the top of my head.

“What happens in the morning?” I whispered out.

His head turned to look at the clock on my bedside table. “It’s technically morning now.”

“You know what I mean.”

I felt him nod. “What do you want to happen?”

I lifted my head up, my eyes meeting his dark coffee-colored ones. "Will you stay with me?"

His hand raised to cradle my face again, pulling me down to press the softest, sweetest kiss against my lips. “For as long as you want.”

October 31st (Ethan x f!MC)

Pairing: Dr. Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Dr. Lilac Allende) Word count: 2.3K Warning: Language Premise: Ethan Ramsey doesn’t do costumes... except maybe for her.

A/N: A pointless Halloween fic

A/N2: For Day 28 of @choicesoctoberchallenge2020​. The prompt is “Costume”.

1. Intern Year

Ethan resisted a groan as an atrocious, remixed version of The Monster Mash blared through the speakers, eliciting a cheer from the drunken crowd. Characteristically, he pinched the bridge of his nose, eyes shut as he wondered why he decided to venture out on the worst night of the year. Perhaps he needed a drink that badly after another full day of dealing with interns.  

“Time for a refill, Dr. Ramsey,” a voice said over the music.

Ethan hated the way his pulse quickened at the sound.

Doing his best to appear collected, he shot what he hoped was an impassive glance at the figure now standing beside him at the bar, the floral notes of her perfume already caressing his every sense. One single glance at her, however, was enough to shoot all efforts of appearing aloof straight to hell.

She leaned casually against the bar, clad in a sensuous, forest green number that molded to every curve of her body and ensnared every bit of his attention. Dark green leaves embellished every surface of the sinfully short dress, tapering off into delicate, curly vines along her exposed shoulders and arms. Her glossy, dark hair was hidden away beneath a cascade of long, auburn waves that made her eyes appear greener still.

“Wig,” she explained with a small laugh when Ethan continued to stare.

At last, he pried his eyes away, feeling his neck flare with heat. Unsure of what else to say, he feigned indifference as he asked, “And what are you supposed to be, Rookie?”

Aside from fucking irresistible, his idiotic, addled brain added on impulse.

He could see Lilac's jaw go slack in a way that was almost comical but somehow managed to be entirely too adorable.

“You're kidding, right? I'm Poison Ivy.”

Ethan had known that. He had been, after all, a comic-book obsessed teenager once. If someone had told him back then that he would one day witness the sexiest version of the character imaginable, his head would have caved in on itself. Adult Ethan, it seemed, was no better because his eyes fell on her once again, unable to resist her magnetic pull.

Lilac, however, was too busy looking at the dancefloor. She nodded toward her group of friends, dancing, laughing, and contributing to half of the noise in the bar.

“We were all supposed to be Batman villains but Bryce and Landry got lazy. They put on a Thing One and Thing Two shirt and called it a day.”

Ethan followed her gaze to where the young surgeon had peeled off the aforementioned shirt, relishing in the attention that decision was earning him from a gaggle of girls nearby. The other one Lilac had mentioned stood awkwardly off to the side, too pale and and gangly to ever be Lahela's counterpart.

“More like tweedle dee and tweedle dum,” he muttered.

Lilac met his eyes at once and to his delight, she laughed, the sound sending his stomach into a dive. It was already maddening enough that the sound was entirely too attractive, but Ethan felt a swelling sense of satisfaction at being the one to inspire it.

When she sobered up, her green eyes remained on his, humor melting into a pensive expression. She continued to watch him with the conviction of someone discovering a new secret. He would have given anything to know what she was thinking at that very moment.

“What about you?”

“Hmm?”

He had been distracted by her full lips and by how fitting the damn costume was. Much like every weak-willed man in his comic books, Ethan would have risked absolutely everything to kiss her.

“No costume?”

“God no,” he spat, inspiring another little laugh.

“Never say never,” she told him in a sing-song voice.

“I can confidently say never.”

2. A year later.

They paused outside the door to Bryce's apartment, the muffled sound of music and laughter making its way to the hall. Ethan briefly wondered if his neighbors would complain enough to derail the whole affair. It would mean he could go back to the peace and quiet of his home.

As if reading his mind, Lilac turned to face him, a knowing smile pulling at her lips. God, he loved it when she looked at him that way.

“You're not getting out of this,” she reminded him, her fingers moving to play with the orange Ascot tie she had forced him to wear.

“We're well into November. There was no need to dress up.”

As usual, Lilac rolled her eyes lovingly.

“It's hardly dressing up when all we did was put you in a white sweater you already owned, babe,” she explained for the hundredth time. Ethan tried to scowl at the pet name, but he was beginning to enjoy it. Instead, he relaxed into her touch, trying his best not to follow the lazy path her fingers made on his chest. “You wouldn't even wear a wig, so it doesn't count. As for the party being this late, it was the only night we all had off. And we'll be damned before we let a whole year pass us by without dressing up.”

She finalized that sentence with a searing kiss to his neck. His hands banded around her waist reflexively, pulling her soft body flush against his. In their time together, he had avidly learned the many ways to drive her just as crazy.

“You and I can still dress up,” he murmured darkly against her ear.

Lilac shivered, to his immense delight.

“Are you suggesting role play, Dr. Ramsey,” she returned in a poor attempt to mock him.

The formal mode of address, uttered in a low, breathy voice against his ear, made his blood buzz for her. More maddening still was the short, purple dress she wore along with the auburn wig that made a reappearance after a year.

“Got a thing for redheads?” she asked, correctly guessing the contents of his thoughts yet again.

Ethan smiled crookedly down at her. “I got a thing for you.”

The words rang with sincerity and an overwhelming sense of relief at finally being able to say them out loud, without any fear of consequences.

Lilac, for her part, looked as though she wanted to shove him against the wall and kiss him fiercely, but the erupting cheers from inside the apartment interrupted their exchange from advancing further.

“Mystery Gang in the house!” Bryce, dressed as a pirate, hollered as soon as they walked through the door. Everyone else cheered and hooted, the sounds no doubt fueled by the contents of the many red solo cups around the room.

“You guys look adorable!” Sienna commended over the music, greeting each of them with a friendly hug. “Fred and Daphne makes so much sense for you two.”

“Because we solve mysteries for a living?” Ethan asked, voice deadpan.

“Nah, because those two were a thing long before any of the others found out,” Elijah said as he joined them.

Lilac laughed out loud, the sound teetering on the edges of relief. She had been nervous, just like Ethan had been, that her friends would be awkward around them now that they knew of their relationship.

By the way they easily joked with him and included him in conversation throughout the night, their concerns had been for nothing. They even helped Lilac pressure him into dancing a modern pop song he had heard many times on the radio. Not that he needed much convincing when he would gladly do anything just to see her radiant smile directed his way.

By midnight, the party had dwindled down to drinks and board games. There was a raucous consensus to play Clue, which caused Bryce to roll his eyes.

“Of course the diagnosticians want to play the nerdiest game.”

Ethan rolled up his sleeves in preparation, which earned him a coy and borderline lustful look from Lilac. “You're just bitter that we're playing something other than beer pong, scalpel jockey.”

Elijah let out a surprised yet impressed laugh, wasting no time to high five Ethan. Even Bryce couldn't help but grin.

“Trash talk all you want, old man. I'm more than just a pretty face.”

When it came to Clue, however, Bryce had no chance against Ethan, who analyzed every player with sharp precision and correctly guessed the murderer, the room, and the weapon. Several games later, Ethan easily proved victorious while Bryce only laughed graciously, raising his palms up in defeat.

When even the board games ebbed into quiet conversation at the end of the night, Lilac sat on his lap, circling her arms around his neck. They sat like that for minutes, enjoying the nuances of being that annoyingly cute couple at a party.

“Thank you for dressing up for me,” she said as she pressed a chaste kiss on his cheek.

Even that sent his heart into a tumultuous rhythm.

“Only for you,” he murmured. “And as a one time deal only.”

______________

3. Many years later.

Ethan plastered the fur-lined hat on his head, a perfect complement to the fur-lined everything else he was currently wearing. Luckily, fall time in Boston was cold enough that the ensemble would prove to be practical as they walked the streets. He stepped into the hallway, not bothering to check his reflection. There was no doubt he looked utterly ridiculous.

But he didn't care.

He would do anything for her and for the unbridled joy in the eyes he loved so much.

Lilac was already waiting when he entered the living room, her smile impossibly wide as she glanced him over. It was the exact reaction he expected and he couldn't help but grin too.

“Is this how it's supposed to look?”

“Yes!” she all but shrieked in delight. The magenta cape of her costume fluttered behind her as she rushed to him, her body crashing against him in an overjoyed hug. “I love you so much for doing this.”

The words still sent a thrill through Ethan, as strong as the first time he heard them. Heart thundering wildly at his chest, he leaned down to kiss her, just because he could.

When they pulled apart, she watched him through half-closed eyes, her teeth catching her lush bottom lip. All Ethan wanted to do was carry her to their bed and tear off the costumes they had spent so much time perfecting. Inwardly, he marveled at how everything had changed over the years, but there were some things that remained the same.

Instead, he captured one of her plaits between his fingers. “These people we're dressed up as,” he started, gently trailing the ridges of her braid. Lilac watched him, captivated by his every word. “Do they end up together?”

She allowed a laugh. “We've watched nothing but that movie for a week straight.”

Ethan shrugged, allowing a sheepish grin. “I tune it out thirty minutes in every time.”

More laughter and Ethan decided then that he could hear the sound forever and not get enough.

“Don't let Dolores hear you say that,” she warned with one final kiss. She moved to break apart from their embrace but he stopped her.

His wife looked at him expectantly and Ethan frowned, suddenly doubtful.

“Do you think she'll like it?”

Lilac's curious expression melted into a fond smile. “She's going to love it,” she assured him, leaning in to press a sweet kiss on the tip of his nose.

Not surprisingly, Lilac had been right because moments later, a delighted shriek of laughter announced the arrival of their toddler daughter. Her godmother trailed close behind, crouching over in an attempt to fix the blue tulle that trailed along the floor as the child ran towards her father. It was futile and Sienna sighed in defeat, shooting Lilac an amused look.

“It's pointless,” Sienna laughed. “There's no stopping little Lolly when she sees her father.”

Proving that point, his daughter flung herself into Ethan's arms and cried, “Dada!”

“Hello, princess,” Ethan laughed as she pressed her version of a kiss on his cheek.

“I'm Elsa,” Dolores corrected sagely.

“Yes, babe,” Lilac added with mock seriousness. “You are in the presence of Queen Elsa of Arendelle. Have some respect.”

“My apologies, Your Majesty,” Ethan said to his daughter with such formality that the child laughed. Sienna watched the exchange with a watery smile, failing to repress a squeal.

A loud roar coming from the threshold informed them that their son had joined them. Sienna laughed as Jonah ran around the room, the antlers of his costume bobbing wildly as he moved. At last, he stopped right before Lilac, who picked him up in her arms.

“I didn't know reindeers roared,” she laughed, swaying her son in her arms.

Jonah roared again to demonstrate that reindeers could indeed roar formidably, at least when impersonated by a five year old. “I'm a Halloween reindeer,” he explained. “He roars to be spooky, but just for today.”

The adults laughed. “You're a good big brother, Jonah,” Lilac informed him with a kiss, closely followed by a tickle.

“Lolly wanted to be Elsa so bad so I wanted to help,” their son said through a giggle, as though it was the most obvious explanation in the world.

It was for Ethan.

As Sienna ushered them together for a picture, Ethan looked at his family, everyone smiling radiantly and far more beautifully than the moon itself. Little Dolores clung to him, laughing and looking happier than he had ever seen her.

His wife caught his eye and shot him a knowing but proud smile. Ethan knew she was remembering the cynical, jaded version of himself who had confidently proclaimed he would never do this.

Ethan had never been happier to be proven wrong.

______________

A/N: I HC they name their daughter after Dolores and nickname her Lola/ Lolly

Once upon a time I used to write for another pairing who canonically dies on Halloween. You have no idea how happy I am to write for a pairing who’s alive and well lol.

Thank you so much for reading! I love these time hop fics so much. I wrote another one for Ethan x MC a long time ago that I will publish on my birthday in November :)

Finally, Chapter 10 of the Pictagram is coming soon. It might be two parts... Yikes. Thanks for waiting so patiently for it! Life has been crazy over here

[nshah2]

First Part of Story Lolz: The first step into the cavern isn’t that dark. People believe it is but they’re just intimidated by the dark green moss that grows around it along with the spiky vines. Marie Jane? The Marie who likes to switch between Mary because it makes her feel chic? Oh she was just flabbergasted to the even proposition of stepping one Louis Vuitton, red high-heel in there. Even so, she was curious about the bright side of the cavern, as much of an oxymoron of that statement is. Everyone is.

Alex Lyres, skinny jeans and long sleeves, brown skin or hairy arms, one of the two, that is unsuspecting of outside analyzing, and depressed green eyes. They  fell silent in front of the cavern, walked in slowly in a trance of the great things that awaited, pushing away the wispy spider webs and teething bats. I hope she doesn’t get lost.

Kamila Civet, she ran. She ran straight in, we hardly saw her anymore. She’s addicted to the cavern, she likes to run through all of it. She can’t handle the darkness though, it pushes her out with sharp black nails, sometimes it only used two, sometimes it used all.

The cavern does terrible things, it made me lose what was alread lost.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 1:

A tip of a black word that could have meant to be blue grazes me everytime I step out of my house. Ten thousand words clutter the pages of others' mother tongues, so you can imagine the scars that yielded me weak to the eye of the majority. Fading away into the deepest shadow of Oaktown High seemed to cloak me with the power of moving through the halls without being at a sword's end, or at least at one I could see. I had grown comfortable with this lifestyle because it’s all I knew along with the wrappers of mistakes in my closet. But please do not play the chorus of slow violin notes because I am not my paragraph, I am my essay. 

I couldn’t say the same about Mary Jane.

Gaggles of laughter follow her tall figure, swaying with her long blonde hair. Skinny arms wrapped around the shoulders of her companions whose skin is as unblemished as their reputation.  Longing stares from the girls and boys who smile for status. An idolized individual that excelled at whatever you did not. “Okay, okay, listen!” Samia Davenport tries to reason, “Ignore the fact he’s a ginger. He’s cute.” Mary squeezes Samia’s face and squeals, “My little babushka is growing up. She likes men who aren’t on reality T.V too!” Samia swats her arm away, trying not to laugh. “Oh shut up, don’t deny that Dave Hansen is absolutely my soulmate.” Dave Hansen? Interesting, stupid choice. The boy who spread a rumor about you being homeless in eighth grade? The boy who chopped your hair off in ninth! The boy who smirks and everything feels like a blissful high, a serenity of happiness flooding through your brain. Too bad he likes Maya, who dismissed half of his heart with a slur that demolished him into succumbing to a camp which told him, be Christian, not you. 

They’re idiots for craving such expensive baggage because they know they can’t have it, though I can’t fault them. I’ve -however- learned to push my credit card back into my pocket and tame my legs to walk out of the store. 

Mary nods with disinterest as she eyes Ms. Alejandras classroom. “Wait up, okay?” She grinned at Samia  and rushed in the door. “Ms! Ms. Alehandra, I was wondering if I could obtain some extra credit?” 

“Mary, just turn in your missing assignments . I’ll give you 50% for each.” 

“I lost all the papers.” 

“I can print new ones.” 

I watch the exchange with dancing pupils, careful to not let my shadow get into the light. Mary has fists furrowed into small pockets with inching frustration poking out of them.

“I can’t.”

“Why not?”

Tapping on the linoleum floor, 1, 2, 3, 4…

“It’s uneven. It has to be 0-5, 5-10, 15-20. Right now if I do an extra credit assignment it’ll finally be 0-5.”

“Does it have to be in 5s?”

“More satisfying in 5s ma’am.”

Ms. Alejandra adjusts her long brown pencil skirt and touches Mary’s shoulder. “Read a book after you complete your missing assignments and then talk to Dr. Vienna.”

 

Mary sighs, she nods a quiet thank you and walks away with red fists and a crippling smile. “Did you get the extra credit?” Samia asks. Mary laughs , “No, that idiot was like ‘oh just talk to Dr. Vienna after you do it. Like oh cause he always helps, blah, blah.”

Dr. Vienna, the man who thought if you met him or his staff every night at 8:00 pm to get your daily fix of yellow, blue, pink, or green you could be cured from your worries. I mean, he’s not wrong. But yellow turns to blue and blue to pink and pink to green and then thousands of green clutter a controlled mind.  

“What did you say?” Samia asks.

“I was just like ‘Yeah, sure, whatever haha.”

“I would have just cleaned her room right then and there, just ignore her and start cleaning.”

“Oh, if only.”

A familiar buzz sounds through the halls. A calling for lost luggage, they want to keep alive. Too bad our owners aren’t coming to pick us up any time soon. Airport security was a hassle enough the first time.

Most of us groan and walk to  the assigned seats and watch the numbers. Dr. Vienna sits with the ones who watch too carefully. “Don’t you wish you were like them?” Says the blonde girl next to me, tapping my shoulder. “No Kamila, I don’t.” She rolls her eyes, “Well then you're crazy, imagine how easy it is for them. I can’t believe some of these girls came voluntarily. It’s like being Albert Einstein and then going to a camp that teaches you to be dumb.” Kamila eyes her cheesy potato cubes and boiled egg on veggies. She stuffs all of it in her pocket, one egg slice, one cube, one veggie at a time. Staring, being mesmerized by the girls who grasp control over uncontrollable behaviors. I want to tap her shoulder like she did to me but I know she’s so much more cluttered than me, she would trip over all her the mess in her brain to think that’s pretty. Mary walks to our table with her plate of food, a lunch of one cookie, one apple, two pieces of lean fish, a salad, and a baked potato. “Just be balanced.” Mary said, smiling shiny white teeth. “Do you really want to go into the cavern just to look like that? They’re miserable.” Kamila glared back, “Oh please Mary. All 5’8 of you would want to sit there and look like that. Everyone does.” Mary sits down, “Of course everyone does. But it’s not worth it. Besides, the cavern is so gross and if you go the wrong way you are done forever. You don’t even get to be them. “

Kamila scowled in disgust, “Ugh you know nothing! I already did, I got lost too but I’m going to go back and find my way in.” Mary laughed, “Kamila, you're going to go in there and never get out. You're going to want to keep going. But you won’t be able to. It’s like a cigarette, you’ll be addicted.” 

“What’s the cavern?” I popped in. They looked at me with shock.

 “You don’t know what the cavern is? It’s literally why almost everyone is in here. What are you in for then?” 

“My parents got sick of having a kid who doesn’t know how to love them.” My flat response. It didn’t even feel like I spoke, I just opened my mouth and the words fell into place. The ones I was hoping would never come out. 

“Oh.” They said in unison, eyes wary of the girl they once thought was innocent. Would it be better if I had gone into the cavern first? Got addicted to it, whatever ‘it’ may be.” Uneasily Mary explained, “If you haven’t gone into the cavern, it’s best you only know it by its code name. It’s not actually a cavern.” 

Kamila joined in, “I came in here for other reasons too, then I learned about it and started. You need something to distract you here. I mean but if you haven’t started it, find something else.”

“Just tell me what it is.”

They both looked at eachother, they seemed indecisive. Should we tell her? I could practically hear the words they looked at each other with. It couldn’t be that problematic, could it? “I’m sure I’ve heard of worse.” They both shook their heads. “It’s not that you haven’t.”

Kamila tried to explain.

“It’s just that you can’t try it once and be done. If you try it, you're done for. It’s not murder obviously, it’s...it’s like everything bad on this world is labeled in colors. Blue for normal, green for normal but you're slipping, orange for hey this is getting bad, and red for you messed up. The cavern pushes you to orange right? But then you like it so you keep going and slip down to red. Then it's like...it takes all of it’s rocks and barricades you with them. The oxygen is slowly slipping away, you know you will die. But in your mind that's worth it so you either die or someone pulls you out.  Hardly ever does anyone pull you out though.”

  

Chapter 2:

All week I had been curious to what the cavern was, jumping at any chance to pull the answer out of unsuspecting victims. Yet they always hushed me and pointed at a staff member or harshly whispered something along the lines of “if you don’t know you don’t need to. I shouldn’t be talking about this here.” Yet in every location I could find with every set of people available, the answer was always the same. Actually that's a false statement, as time went on the answers became more general and specific at the same time. The cavern was so wide, it had such an in depth storyline but from physical appearances it was normal and forgettable. The cavern came off as a stranger to me, a human I did not know who has a story that would make me cry if I read it.

 “Mama used to say that my eyes were a gift from the desert, that they were a sandy brown drought. “

That’s cute.” Commented Kamila. “My Mom used to call me a little bird. Since my legs used to be really skinny and I liked to wear my halloween costume wings like almost every day.”

“Did I say that out loud?” I ask.

“Yeah, you do that a lot, ponder quietly with a mysterious look on your face and then randomly drop in the crumble of words in your head.”

“Oh.”

           I’m pretty sure Mom used to say something like that. That my eyes seemed to get lost in the colourful realm, speechless to the greenery of new ideas and scenarios. I guess the cavern was a new scenario. I had spent two years at Oakwood, never once did the word cavern actually mean anything to me than the base definition. I suspected it was a hangout for teens to maybe drink or smoke, that’s why they called it addicting. But Mom also used to say “Your never far off from the truth once you make an assumption, your penny isn’t in the fairy’s hand but it’s going down the well, it’s getting closer.” It could be about smoking or drinking, but then they would have used another example to compare it to.  Reverse psychology? No, in the span of a few seconds they wouldn’t have been intellectual enough to corroborate such an intricate plan, unless they did... But they aren’t exactly top of the chain in terms of intelligence.

No, they certainly weren’t. One blank page could hold wiser knowledge than their  brains could ever learn in their lifetime. Maybe the way they mindlessly transferred their thoughts onto a piece of a paper got them an A, but they have no street smarts. A ratio that didn’t match Mary's agenda would throw her off her high horse into the dirt. If Kamila spoke a word everyone didn’t agree with she would resort back to the deep depths of her mind, not caring about the cobwebs and dirty floor. Everyone in this school is like this, stubborn, selfish brats who didn’t realise that sticking your nose in a book doesn’t make you a genius. It makes you an average person who gets a teacher's signature on her report card with a happy face sticker. Wow, good on you, a happy face, that’s going to get you through life? A happy face? 

“Little Madam, the one in the blue dress? Oh where is she, is she sticking out because of her oh so obvious dress? Or the fact that she isn’t hearing anything I’m saying?”

Everyone laughs with pasted smiles for an objective. Everyone knows Ms. Alejandra picks favorites. It’s all objective. Even her damn joke is objective, a power move, calling everyone out and making them laugh about it. Keep laughing, I’m not a clone.

Definitely not a clone of her favorites right now.

“Yes, Ma’am?” I speak, keeping my dignity upheld.

She sighs with annoyance, “Can you tell me what I was just explaining about chain rules?”

Chain rules, chain rules, chain rules...She must have just been covering it today, that fatuous fool Kamila was correct. The cavern was good for distracting you.

“I’m not sure.” I say, my voice felt like a particularly bad day on the ground near the Pacific Ocean in the Philippines.

Another sigh, this time with actual disappointed eyes. Did she expect me to know the complications of a couple of Xs and numbers labeled under-

“The derivative of f(g(x)) . g’(x) will always be f'(g(x))⋅g'(x).”

Everyone turned around to the raised hand and straight face of Alex Lyres. A matty mess of short, dirty blonde hair, bangs almost cocealing the never turned off glare in her green eyes.  Her limbs were long and skinny and danced in the wind every Friday where administrators let her be `recreational”.  

Alex Lyres who sits at the table with Dr. Vienna every day and goes to him personally for three green ones every night. She speaks seldom but when she does her words dive into your mind and almost as quickly as they come in, evaporate. She would know about the cavern, she was at the table Kamila admired specifically because people who were there  went in the cavern. Or should I say, went in too deep. But I’d have to rephrase my wording into a more casual conversation. You don’t just light a candle in a monster accompanied by darkness, you wait for the perfect time. 

Tick, Tock.

Tick, Tock.

Tick, Tock.

One-Forty. Two-a clock.

The bell dings its warning signs and Alex lifts her legs off the seat. In quick movements she makes her way to her bedroom. The teacher gives her that stern ‘what do you think you're doing’ look and she starts to slow down, hanging her head a little lower. 

“Alex! Hey!”

She looks around, uncomfortable that her name has been brought into the spotlight. Don’t worry Alex, give me the answers and the switch gets clicked off.

It gives her a chance though, a chance to slide her feet across the marble floor, static building in her soft teddy bear socks. 

“Alex, hey can I ask you something?”

“Sure, um…?”

I disregard her blank stare, notioning me to give out my name. My name has never been uttered in the walls of this wretched place and it never will. I won’t give it that power. 

“How do you do it?”

It’s like her facial features immediately morphed into a sweaty recognition about what I’m about to say.

“How do I do what?”

“Y’know…” I push, “How do you do the...cavern?”

She looks at me for a couple of seconds before shaking her head and storming away. I chase after her which isn’t hard because she speeds with caution. Why? We aren’t allowed to run in the halls but we can speed walk. She’s not going to get in trouble for speed walking.

“Yeah, I am.”

“I said that aloud?” I really need to stop doing that.

“No, I can just see it in your face. You're confused on why  I look so cautious. Yeah, I will get in trouble if I’m going ‘above average speed’ or whatever.”

My hand instinctively goes to grab my chin, I pause indecisively. It’s extra but it’s what you're supposed to do when you're confused. “Why?”

“Why do you think?” She snaps.

“I don’t know, why are you specific?”

“Not just me, everyone else in the cavern.”

My mind jumps back to the main objective and I robotically  move myself into a more sympathetic position. Arms crossed with pouty eyes, “Why wouldn’t they let you run just because you’ve been in the cavern?”

“Again, why do you think?”

“I don’t know?”

She looks at me up and down with quizzing eyes, her disbelief is obvious. I’m not sure what I did wrong, I guess I really need more information. 

Her eyes widened with shock, “Oh my god, are you that one girl who's trying to find the cavern? Oh, my friends told me you would try to find me, just forget about it!” 

I don’t care about much at all. The world is a blank page I’d like to keep clean, showing interesting written words I can not erase. If I try, the eraser marks will clutter what could have been a precise story of nothing. If I don’t care, nothing happens which is easier than risking your life for a second of happiness that will wash away. Yet, now, there are no warm arms to welcome me into a hug. No one is waiting for the three special words from me anymore. My desire from others has faded away to a past sentence no one will ever flip a page back to again. No one wants me, I have no purpose. It would make the three years pass a little bit faster, maybe once I’m out I can prove I am still deserving of those arms.

I’m not playing by a script anymore, the stage has disappeared. Emotions come rushing back as the dam has broken with that one phrase. I can’t forget about it, I can’t be denied again. Just give me something to latch onto, please.

My voice cracks and eyes water, alien sobs escape my cracked lips. Alex watches as I fall to the ground. I can’t understand why I’m crying. I don’t know what’s going on. I just know that I still feel no matter how much I want to deny. Suddenly I feel those warm arms I’ve been longing for since the first day I stepped foot into Oakwood. Alex cloaks me in kindness while I stare blankly at the dizzy walls. “Are you okay?” Alex asks.

“No.” I reply.

Alex sighs and pulls me up, “I...do you consider yourself-like...doomed? Do you think of yourself as a time bomb?”

“No, that’s idiotic.”

She looks at me with eyes that are confused, “When you get out of here, you have hope?”

I’m about to say yes, yes of course I do. I don’t even deserve to be here, I didn’t do anything. I’m fine, I-

The strong glass walls reinforced with thick creamy clay blocks  show me a reflection of a stranger. I can’t speak for her.

“I don’t know.”

“Ok.”

Alex starts walking down the hall so I follow, feeling sheepish and insecure. What just happened? Her dorm room  is void of decoration and sound, an echoless big room. 

She motions for me to go in, so I do. 

“You want to know what the cavern is?”

“Yes, obviously.”

“Ok, choose.”

She lays out three items on her bed, “Choose one.”

There is a toothbrush, a jug, and a box with cloth inside.

“How did you get this all? The toothbrush isn’t used right?”

“On my rare free days, I collect what I can.”

“You hid this? I’ve heard of smuggling phones, but a humongous jug?”

“You’d be surprised what siblings can smuggle in for you when they're giving you ‘clothes’?”

I look at the random items, “What is the point of these? What are you trying to prove, just tell me!”

She looks at me with annoyance, “Do you want to do this my way or get someone else's help. Trust me, if you really want to know you're going to do it my way. No one is as sadistic as I am to help you.”

Chapter 3:

I took the toothbrush, unsure of the faith that comes with it. I already have one so it just lies in my cabinet drawer, waiting for it’s mysterious day to arrive. I’m not sure really what or how this will lead me to the cavern. I’ve been trying it out though, in every situation I can’t really find a way to use it. So, again, my only choice is to hint a subtle lie, a little dancing shadow among the white imperial clouds. I hinder my speed from each class so Kamila’s wistful, disorganized eyes can zero in on me. Her being, well her, she’s obviously going to ‘casually’ speed up to me so she can initiate a conversation about her busy schedule. I’ll listen, or at least pretend to, while she goes on about being so tired her eyes nearly popped out from studying so she couldn’t get that one math page done and can she copy mine? 

That’s boring and I don’t have time though.

“Hey! Were you waiting up for me?” Kamila asks, tapping my shoulder.

“You can copy my math page Kamila.” I say dryly, she's not the only one who's tired from studying. 

“Excuse me?” She asks, tone offended. She walks in front of me and places her hands on her hips. “Why would you think I need that?”

“Why else would you be talking to me?” I ask, did I misread why she always sped up to me in the hallways? I’m not in any clubs, I don’t think I can help her with advice for that.

“What the hell do you mean? ‘Cause you're my friend?” Her structure relaxes a little bit, seeing my face soften into a concerned look. I wrinkled my nose a little more so I look less offensive and more defensive. ‘Slouch a bit, look down. She’s mad.’ I think to myself. It’s working.

Then the words set in and I stop for a second. The definition of a friend is a person you have a bond of mutual affection with.

“‘I’m not affectionate towards you.” I say.

Kamila looks at me with that studying eyes of hers, “Yeah, so?”

“Then we aren’t friends.”

“Yeah, but-”

“There is no “but”, that’s the exact definition of friend.”

She sighs with frustration, “Do you like garlic bread?”

“What does that have to do with-”

“Do you?”

“Yeah, I guess.”

She pulls out a dictionary from her satchel, “The definition of  like is to have love, respect, and admiration for something. Tell me, do you admire garlic bread?”

“To be honest, food is quite neutral as a whole to me-”

Her face looked tired and annoyed so I cut it off.

“No, I don’t admire garlic bread.”

Her face transforms from drowsy monday to a bright sunday morning, “Exactly!” With that, she strided off with her red sneakers bouncing off the marble floor through the endless hallways. I never got to ask her about the toothbrush.

Why are people so complicated? I don’t understand any of them. Why doesn’t anyone want anything from me here?

Bookends 1 of 2 (Lovecraft AU)

“So you’re going into space.  Looking forward to your trip, fraulein?”

“No, not really.  Space scares me.  All that vacuum surrounding me and if one little thing goes wrong, poof!”  Kitty clapped her hands together.  “There are no second chances in space.  One mistake and you’re dead.”  She shivered.  “But Jean says that something important is happening, there’s someone there we need to rescue, so to space I go.”

“You can’t stay behind?  Marie and Bobby aren’t going.”  A blob of shadow rested at the foot of her bed like some abyssal hellhound.

“Rogue and Iceman have a different mission they need to attend to.  And the only reason Kelly’s letting us go up in the shuttle at all is because I asked him.  I can’t not go unless we want to break into a government facility, and Mr. Summers is right.  As the most public mutant organization in the US, we can’t afford to have the bad PR that stunt would generate.”

“Take some of the bamfs with you.  If you get into trouble, they can teleport you all back here.  I know you’ve been practicing with them.”

She shook her head.  “Are you kidding?  Can you imagine how much chaos the bamfs could cause in that type of environment?  No, they have to stay home.”

A twitching tail (for sanity’s sake she refused to admit it was another tentacle) wrapped around her wrist.  “Who exactly is going up?”

“Myself, Jean, Cyclops, and Beast.  Storm can’t be in such a closed environment for long due to her claustrophobia, Iceman and Rogue are on a mission already, and Scott doesn’t trust Logan after you ate his mind.  Angel and Colossus can’t fit into the space suits and Dazzler’s on tour.  There’s one more slot to fill, but I can’t think of anyone else I’d actually want up there with me.  I guess the original crew can just throw dice or rock-paper-scissors it to decide which of them also gets to go with us.”

“Hmm, why don’t I go with you?”

“You?  Like any of us are going to trust you in a tense situation like that!”

“I’m hurt, liebling.”  A massive grin split the creature’s face in half.  “If there’s one thing you can trust me for, it’s that I always keep my word.  If I promise to aid you in your mission and not seek any to kill, hurt or traumatize you for the duration, you know my aid would be invaluable.”

She gave him a suspicious glare out of her hazel eyes, but he did have a point.  Everything Yana had told her and all of Jimaine’s books had agreed that the Crawling Chaos took his bargains very seriously.  It wouldn’t prevent him from exploiting loopholes, but as long as it was more entertaining to keep them intact, he could probably be counted on.  Still . . .

“Are you going looking like that?  Because there’s a Dr. Corveau who’s still coming on the mission not to mention the crew of the station.”

“You underestimate me, kinder.”  He sat up, pulled Jimaine Szardos’s face out of thin air, and placed it on the blobby area that might have been a head.  Paralyzed with shock, Kitty watched as the form solidified to a female human’s, the complexion lightened from indigo blue to pale peach and gold hair started growing from the head.

“No!” She shouted.  “Don’t do that!  Not someone we’ve all seen you kill.”

“I have others.”  He pulled the mask off (a scene that was going to repeat itself in Kitty’s nightmares) then conjured another one in its place.  Kitty turned around and closed her eyes, only looking back when the sticky wet noises of the transformation had stopped.

The man who stood there was actually fairly handsome, with pale Caucasian skin, curly black hair and deep blue eyes.  He was maybe a handspan taller than her, and well-muscled although not to the point of absurdity.  His nose and jaw were both a trifle too large for his face, just enough to save his facade from boring perfection.

“You forgot that you’ll need clothes.”

“Oops!”

“Shroud, who’s the last-minute addition to the team?” Cyclops asked as they flew to  Cape Canaveral.  “I hope you didn’t pull one of the students in for this.”

“Er, well, you see . . . “ Her shoulders slumped.  “It’s Nightcrawler.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me.”

“He wanted to come along!  And it’s not like I can stop him from doing whatever he wants!  At least this way he won’t freak out the Dr. Corveau or the station crew.”

“Let’s just hope he doesn’t get hungry during the trip.”

“Tschk!  Humans.”  The Crawling Chaos looked at the gas coming through the vents.  “I don’t suppose that idiot will open the door until everyone’s out.  So I guess I’ll just have to come to him instead.”

The black-haired ‘man’ walked over to the inner airlock.  He raised his ‘hands’ and tore through the 2.5 cm thick steel with ease.  On the other side were a couple of mind-controlled humans and a Shi’ar system commander.  Before any of them could react he teleported behind them.  Two swift but restrained blows destroyed the devices on the men’s necks, causing them to pass out.  While Nightcrawler was occupied with that, the Shi’ar dashed into the control room.  The other considered going after him but decided to work on rousing the X-Men instead.  

Once everyone was awake they ran to follow.  “You fools are too late to assist Lilandra!  I’ve detected the incoming portal and armed a cannon to fire on her ship as soon as it emerges!”

Dr. Corveau peered at the screens from behind Cyclops.  “I don’t what’s going on, but the targeting is still manual!  If we destroy the panel, we can prevent him from aiming, though the cannon will still fire!”

“Done!”  Before the Shi’ar could react, Cyclops fired his beams, causing the control board to blow up.  Unfortunately, it overloaded all those circuits and everything around them started sparking and flares appeared on the equipment.

Still, through the window, they could see the portal open up.  A ship of unknown design came through, then a beam of light from the station flashed at it.  To the X-Men’s relief and the Shi’ar’s dismay, the beam only clipped the side of the ship.

“Damn you!” hissed the red-armored alien.  “If I can take her down in my ship, then your efforts will have been in vain!”  With that he turned and ran through one of the side doors, taking two of the still mind-controlled humans with him.

“Dr. Corveau, Shroud, can you get the panel working again?  Maybe we can use the cannon he attached to shoot him down.”  The two technologically inclined members of the mission didn’t even bother looking.

“I think attaching the cannon in the first place did some damage.  Between firing it and you destroying the panel, this station’s about to blow!”

“Back to the shuttle!”  Before anyone could move, black tentacles came up from the ground and grabbed everyone.  There was a loud BAMF, a sensation of heat and pressure, then everyone found themselves on the shuttle.  After a second, the two crewmen who had been helping the Shi’ar at the airlock also showed up, dropped from a black hole that appeared in midair.

“Thank you, Nightcrawler.”  Once they had cleared the station, barely dodging the explosion, Cyclops took stock of the situation.

“Jean, is the pilot of that ship the person we need to rescue from your premonition?”

“She is.”

“Alright, the shuttle doesn’t have any weapons.  I think we can still ram that other ship and interfere with its aim.  Dr. Corveau are you a skilled enough pilot to do that?”

“I am, but why are we doing all this?  We don’t know the person on the ship or the weird psychopath on the station.  Why don’t we just run away?”

“One of my mutant abilities is precognition,” stated Jean, still focused on the battle in front of them.  “I’m not clear on all the details, but I do know we have to rescue the person who came through the wormhole.  Otherwise, the entire Earth will be enslaved.”

“And how accurate are your predictions?”

“Over 80%.  And most of the ones that don’t come true are due to people taking actions based on my prompting.  We don’t want this one to come true.”

“Besides,” broke in Kitty.  “The other guy was definitely mind-controlling the station crew.  That’s evil enough that we should at least give his opponent the benefit of the doubt.”

“Points taken.”  Dr. Corveau steered them towards the pursuing ship.  While they closed in, Cyclops had another idea.  “Nightcrawler, would it be possible for you to teleport the escaping party here?  Then we could just let the other ship blow up and fake his or her death.”

“I cannot.”  The statement was so unexpected it drew every X-Man’s attention.  A flash of sharp teeth warned them from making any derogatory statements.  “Or rather I could, but I choose not to.  Call it professional courtesy.

“I could teleport you to the other ship but I don’t recommend it.  The quarters there are quite cramped and most of you would not survive having your insides melded with inanimate objects.  Shroud perhaps-”

“No.”  Cyclops was firm about this.  “Shroud has the least amount of combat training of all of us.  We’ll try-”

This time it was the ruby-glassed man’s turn to be cut off.  There was a large bang and the shuttle bucked and shuddered.  “I took out the pursuer’s weapons and he’s breaking off the chase, but we’ve got another problem now!”  Shouted Corveau from the cockpit.  Everyone raced back, except for Nightcrawler who sauntered like he had not a care in the world.

“I’ve damaged the steering,” said the physicist, jaw clenched with stress.  “There’s enough to get her down safely but not enough to get us out of the damaged ship’s blowback.”

“Will the other ship come down safely?”

“At this point, that’s up to how sturdily that ship was built and how good the pilot is.  Nothing we can do about it now.”  Cyclops nodded.

“Nightcrawler, can you teleport us back down?”

“Everyone but Jean.”

The taller man snarled.  “Let me guess, professional courtesy again?”

Fangs flashed again, causing Corveau to shrink away.  “Exactly”

“That’s unacceptable!”

“What if we put Jean in the solar module?” asked Beast, trying to head off another argument.  “Then the rest of us could teleport down and we could pick her up after this thing lands.  The module should be good enough to shield her from the radiation.”

“No good,” stated Corveau.  “I mean, the solar module could do that.  But the autopilot of the shuttle is out and someone will need to stay at the controls all the way down.  Whoever’s doing that is going to die.”

“What if we combine the two?”  Jean stepped in at this point.  “Everyone else goes into the solar module, while I stay out here and pilot.  I could take the knowledge of how to fly from Dr. Corveau and shield myself from the radiation with my kinetic abilities.  I’m the only one who has a chance to survive this, other than the obvious.”

“It’s too risky-”

“It’s my decision.”  Jean knocked out her former fiancee, then passed him to Beast.  She reached out to Dr. Corveau.  He hesitated for just a second.  “Are you sure?”

“It’s the only way I have a remote chance of surviving.”

“Alright then.”  He relaxed and let her touch his face, passing out when she was done.

Beast, Shroud, and Nightcrawler carried all the other knocked out humans into the solar module and sealed the door.

Beast and Shroud listened as the module shuddered and transmitted the scream of stressed metal from the outside.  Nightcrawler, on the other hand, continued to watch the door, a sinister smile on his face.

AN: I refuse to do the whole Phoenix Saga.  I don’t like the people involved and it pretty much goes the same way as the 90s cartoon, except Nightcrawler teleports more people and less angst about Jean.  So Part 2 is going to skip ahead to the end.  If anyone wants to write about what happened between the two parts, feel free.

Begin Again (Part 2)

Part 1

Pairing: McKirk

Prompt: A non-coffee shop coffee shop AU for @yourtropegirl‘s 1000 follower celebration

Summary: Sometimes love shows up when and where you least expect it.

Rating: Teen

Word count: 1666

Leonard lied awake that night. Not because the couch was terrible to sleep on, though it really was. No. Because he couldn’t figure out what Jim was up to lying to Jocelyn about them dating. But there was a part of him that really wished it wasn’t a lie.

He woke up to find a text from Jim.

Sorry about yesterday. Guess I got carried away. You can tell her we broke up or whatever.

He reread the text a few times before looking at Joanna, still unconscious. Looking back down at his phone, he sighed and called Jim.

“Hi, Bones,” Jim said nervously.

“Why did you do it?” Leonard asked.

“Because I told the nurse I was your boyfriend so that she’d let me in. I kinda had to keep up the act.”

“You couldn’t’ve just said you were my friend or called me to let me know you were at the front desk? Jim, you can’t go telling people we’re dating. We’re not. Not even close to it.”

“What if it was true?” Jim whispered.

“What?”

“It could be true.”

“Jim,” Leonard sighed.

“It’s fine. I get it. Just tell her we broke up or whatever you want. I’ll leave you alone.”

“And deal with her going on about how I can’t keep someone around? No, get your ass down here. We should have this discussion in person anyway.”

“Be there in half an hour?”

“Please bring coffee.”

“Was already planning on it.”

~

When Jocelyn and Clay showed up, Jim was sitting on the couch reading while Leonard talked to Joanna’s doctor.

“You couldn’t’ve waited until I got here?” Jocelyn asked bitterly.

“I was talking to Leonard about what I’ve been up to lately, Ms. Darnell,” Dr. Fisher answered.

“He doesn’t need to be in here.” Jocelyn pointed to Jim.

“Then Clay doesn’t need to either,” Leonard gestured toward the older man standing a foot behind Jocelyn.

She scowled at Leonard, then said, “Go on, Doctor.”

***

Jim started spending about the same amount of time at the hospital as Leonard did. Jocelyn didn’t stop scowling at him every time she saw him.

After about four days, Leonard was woken up by someone gently shaking him and whispering, “Bones,” urgently.

“Why are you waking me up?” he grumbled as he looked over at Jim who had apparently showed up at some unholy hour of the morning, better known at six.

Jim just pointed over at the bed. Leonard bolted up so fast he almost knocked Jim onto the floor.

“Daddy,” Joanna whispered, her lower lip trembling.

“I’m right here, sweetheart,” Leonard gave her a small smile as he sat on the edge of the bed brushing her dark hair out of her eyes.

She reached out for him and he took her hand, glancing over his shoulder at Jim, who was staring at the two of them.

“Can you get a nurse?” Leonard asked.

Jim nodded and walked out of the room.

“Daddy,” Joanna whined tugging on his hand trying to get him closer.

“I can’t give you a hug until I have the ok.” He rubbed her arm gently.

~

The second he had the ok half an hour later, Leonard pulled Joanna onto his lap and held her close.

“Your mama and Clay should be here too soon,” he said softly after a few minutes slowly combing the knots out of her hair with his fingers.

“No,” she shook her head.

“Yes. The nurse called them. They’ll be here soon.”

“I don’t want them.”

“Jo, what’s wrong?”

“I don’t like Clay,” she mumbled into Leonard’s shirt.

Leonard restrained himself from saying “me too” and answered, “Well, that’s not very nice to say.”

“Clay’s not very nice.”

“Why’s that?”

“He yells at me. Tells me to be quiet when I’m talking to Mama.”

“Are you interrupting?” Leonard asked rubbing her back.

“No. Never,” a voice from the doorway said.

Leonard looked over his shoulder to see Jocelyn standing in the doorway.

“She’s always perfectly polite. Never interrupts,” Jocelyn continued. “Clay just…He’d rather she stayed quiet.”

He turned back to Joanna, who was hiding her face in his chest and gripping his shirt. Jocelyn walked over so she was standing in front of Leonard and Joanna.

“What happened in that car, Jocelyn? And don’t you dare lie to me,” Leonard asked unsure if he was more scared of the answer, angry at what the answer could be, or heartbroken at the sight of his baby girl sniffling in his arms.

“We’d gone out to dinner. It was Clay’s birthday. I had a little too much wine so I couldn’t drive, and Clay had only had one beer. At least that I remember. Joanna was telling me about her day and he was getting frustrated telling her to be quieter because he was trying to focus on driving. Eventually he just turned around for a few seconds to tell her to just be quiet. Though, it was more like yelling. And the roads were a bit slick from the rain and he lost control.”

Leonard tightened his hold on Joanna who was borderline sobbing. “And how often? Besides the crash. How often does he yell at her?”

“More often than I care to think about.”

“When?”

“Everyday. Louder when he’s drunk.”

“How often is he drunk?” Leonard was doing everything he could to keep his voice steady.

“Often. Couple times a week.”

“I want custody.”

“I know.”

“I don’t want her going back to live with him.”

Jocelyn nodded.

“Full custody.”

“Ok.”

“Including from the second she’s released.”

“Ok, I’ll call my lawyer.” Jocelyn looked at Joanna for a long moment, utterly heartbroken, before walking out.

~

Once Joanna was calmed down, she started looking around the hospital room. Until her gaze landed on Jim sitting on the couch flipping through a comic book with black framed glasses perched on his nose.

“Who are you?” she asked.

Jim looked up and pushed his glasses back up. “I’m Jim. I’m your daddy’s…”

“Boyfriend,” Leonard finished for him.

Joanna looked at him then at Leonard. “He looks nice.”

Had Jim not be continuing to stare at Leonard in shock, he would have laughed.

“He is.”

“He doesn’t yell?”

“No, he can get a little loud when he gets excited, but I know of someone else who does that too.” Leonard winked at her.

Jim took his glasses off and set them on top of the comic book as he stood. He walked over to the bed, pulling the chair next to it closer and sitting down. “I don’t like when people yell when they get upset either, so I don’t.”

“I’m Joanna,” she said shifting around on Leonard’s lap so she could stick out her hand that wasn’t in a cast.

Jim grinned at her as he shook her hand.

***

Six months later

Leonard mentally prepared himself for the chaos his apartment no doubt was in. It always ended up a mess when he left the two of them alone for more than an hour. It had been ten hours between a partial shift in the operating room, meetings, and a final meeting with Jocelyn, their lawyers, and a judge to finalize the custody agreement.

When he opened the front door, he sighed. There were blankets and pillows everywhere. Joanna’s dolls were scattered on the floor not far from the coffee table, half-finished game of Life sat on the kitchen table. And it was quiet which could either be really good or really bad.

He sighed as he walked down the hall, far too tired to deal with the mess until the morning. He stopped in the doorway to Joanna’s room and smiled.

“Daddy,” she smiled when she saw him. She very carefully closed the old comic book in her hands and put it on her nightstand as he walked over.

“I see you wore poor Jim out,” Leonard laughed.

“Just a little,” Jim said as he opened his eyes before getting up from where he laid next to her.

“Did you already brush your teeth?” Leonard asked.

“Yes,” Joanna nodded.

“Then it’s time for you to get some sleep.”

Jim leaned down and gave her a quick hug and kiss on the cheek. “Goodnight, Jojo.”

“Goodnight, Mr. Jim,” she answered before he walked out of the room.

“Did you have fun?” Leonard asked as he tucked her in.

“Lots.”

“No fires I should know about?”

She laughed, then looked up at him as seriously as she could and asked, “Are you gonna ask him, Daddy?”

“Soon, now sleep.” He kissed her forehead and turned out the light.

“Goodnight, Daddy.”

“Goodnight, Jo.” He closed the door leaving a small crack, then walked to the main room where Jim was cleaning up the game on the kitchen table. He walked over and wrapped his arms around the blond, kissing his neck. “Just leave it.”

“And have you upset about having to clean up the mess I made and then left?”

“You can help clean up in the morning.”

“I’m not driving all the way back here just for that. I mean, I love you and all, but…”

“Then don’t.”

Jim turned around and looked at Leonard curiously. “So, do you want me to help clean up or not? Cause I can’t go home and clean up your apartment from mine.”

“Then make this our apartment. Not mine. Ours.”

“Are you sure?”

“You practically live here already. Might as well make it official.”

“Our apartment. I like how that sounds,” Jim grinned nodding.

“Let’s go to bed.” Leonard went to pull away but was pulled closer to Jim instead as the blond pressed his lips to Leonard’s. “Bed,” he repeated when Jim pulled away.

“Yes, dear,” Jim teased as he walked away.

Leonard shook his head slowly as he locked the front door before heading to bed. He poked his head into Joanna’s room and whispered, “He said yes.”

When he walked away, Joanna smiled to herself.

Devour Me (part 4)

Part 1    Part 2    Part 3    :)

After being imprisoned at a colony that used women for only their bodies, Scarlet battles through blood, fire, and pain to get her freedom back. And who better to give that back to her than the man who taught her how to fight in the first place? Chapter Summary: Scarlet and Negan finally reconnect and some questions about their shared past are answered. Main Characters: Scarlet (OC), Negan, Cara (OC) 

Warnings: At this point you should probably just expect Negan and his dirty mouth

Author’s Note: Thanks for sticking around! I recently graduated from college so I have a bit more time to write and am hoping to make weekly posts from now on :) All the support is amazing. Thanks to @i-am-negan-trash for always helping me with my silly questions! Please let me know if you would like to be added to my tag list!

  “Holy shit, Scarlet!”

The sound of Cara’s voice echoing off the walls of the main hall as she came back from the restroom caused Scarlet and Negan to snap apart with a loud, mouthy smack.

Scarlet quickly backed up, hitting the backs of her legs on the edge of a table. She pressed her lips together and desperately tried to suppress the burn in her cheeks. Negan stayed where he was, running a hand over his mouth. As their eyes met, she knew this wasn’t over.  

“You’ll never believe what they brought back!” Cara continued, finally emerging from the back hall with a small box in her hands. She looked up with a smile that quickly vanished from her face as she registered the scene in front of her.

“Oh, sir, I’m so sorry,” she said, dropping her arms to her sides, addressing the leader. “I didn’t know you were in here.”

“It’s cool, CarBear,” Negan said, flashing a toothy grin. “Now I know why Connor’s dick was so hard getting those poptarts.”

Cara smiled, nervously gesturing with the hand holding the box that evidently held poptarts. She opened her mouth to say something but the only sound that came out was a nervous gurgle. Scarlet made a mental note to ask Cara who Connor was.

When Scarlet met Cara’s eyes, Cara’s face immediately dropped and her brows pulled together.

“Woah, Scarlet, your mouth! It’s bleeding,” she said, striding over. She reached forward but Scarlet’s arm snapped out before Cara could reach her. It was instinct, like that of a wounded animal. No thought or bias went into it; Scarlet’s only goal was defense.

Scarlet could hear her heartbeat in her ears as she squeezed Cara’s wrist with no idea of her own strength. Cara grimaced as her fingers turned white and she tried to pull away from Scarlet’s grasp.

A small touch to Scarlet’s waist snapped her out of it. Negan was standing to her side, his ungloved fingertips touching the bare skin between the hem of her shirt and the waistband of her jeans.

With a gasp, Scarlet dropped Cara’s wrist. “Oh, Jesus, Cara, I’m so sorry,” she stammered.

She quickly used the hand that had just been holding Cara’s wrist in a death grip to gently wipe at the blood she now felt trailing down her mouth. The cut that Slim had sliced into her lips had broken open as a result of Negan’s kiss.

Through a breathy laugh Cara said, “No it’s fine, it was my fault. I moved too fast.” She was rubbing the indents of Scarlet’s fingers from her flesh. The way Cara looked at her made Scarlet sick with guilt. She felt like some manic animal that yelped whenever someone got too close. Her friend had just been trying to help her, not hurt her.

“At least you didn’t choke me out like poor Dr. Carson,” Cara said, smiling a small smile. Through her peripheral vision, Scarlet saw Negan shoot his eyebrows up and lean back slightly. She grinned back at Cara, enjoying the lightening of the mood.

“Sir,” Cara continued, while wiggling her pinkening fingers. “This is Scarlet. She is the one you pulled on the run before this last one.”

Negan’s face softened as he slid a smooth, sultry glance at Scarlet. His eyes burned hotter as he slowly grinned.  “I know.”

Cara raised an eyebrow as she watched the blush spread across Scarlet’s cheeks.

Negan must have sensed Cara’s interest and decided to humor it because he turned to her and said, “We knew each other a while ago.”

It was either the influence of her leader towering over her or the retreating threat of Scarlet jumping her that made Cara not press any further. Maybe both.

A group of people came in through the doors Negan had previously been lurking in, carrying supplies. Scarlet recognized a few of them and smiled as they walked past.

As Negan turned, the entire demeanor of the group shifted. Every single person nodded toward him and turned forward to place their supplies on empty tables, moving with urgency that begged to be praised. 

Look at me, sir. I’m a hard worker, sir. Reward me, sir.

Scarlet shot a glance at Negan, seeing him bask in the silent surrender of his people. He had always been a bit arrogant but this was next level.

“Great job, is there anything else left?” Negan inquired, his voice loud enough to echo.

A tall, black-haired man stepped forward. His confidence was nothing compared to that of his leader, but it was noticeable. “No, sir. This is the last of it.”

Negan nodded. “We’ll sort it out tomorrow. I’m beat as fuck.” The others nodded and restarted their chatter, slowly making their way out of the building. A blonde woman Scarlet vaguely recognized pulled herself from the group and came over to Cara, asking her a question about some supplies Cara had moved earlier that day.

As Cara and the blonde spoke, Negan spun around, stopping to face Scarlet with a small backwards bend of his waist. The way he cocked his eyebrow and smirked out of one corner of his mouth tugged at her chest and she couldn’t stop the smile that curled at her own throbbing lips.

“Well, ladies,” Negan said, addressing the three of them but keeping his eyes on Scarlet. “I’m off. Leave this shit here and we’ll deal with it later.” Cara and the blonde smiled and nodded, not seeming to notice his blatant disregard of their presence, and returned to their conversation.

“You,” he then said, pointing at Scarlet. She raised her eyebrows, to which he responded with a widening of his grin. “Come to my place later,” he said. The emphasis he placed on the first word of his sentence turned Scarlet’s core into warm honey and she swallowed, trying not to grin. His smile shrank slightly but the light remained in his eyes. “We have a lot to talk about.”

Scarlet met his eyes and gave him a small nod.  

He spun around before Scarlet could respond further and began to walk toward the door. Scarlet had moved to join Cara and the blonde but she stopped in her tracks as she noticed Negan stop and quickly turn back around. He closed the space between them in two strides and his lips brushed her ear as he leaned down to whisper:

“Oh, and those cat-like reflexes of yours reminded me of how much I love a feisty pussy.”

“So who the hell is Connor?” Scarlet said, around the beer bottle lightly pressed to her aching bottom lip.

Cara had cashed in some of her extra points for a six pack and the two women were stretched out on Cara’s bed, enjoying the way the alcohol warmed their veins. Scarlet made a promise that she would repay Cara once she figured out how to earn her own points.

Cara giggled. “I honestly wouldn’t have an answer if you had asked me that question a week ago. We were mostly just friends.”

“‘Were’ being the key word here,” Scarlet said, smiling.

“It happened so fast! You know how it goes,” Cara said, shifting her weight to the side facing Scarlet. “One minute you’re up late one night sorting through a giant mountain of supplies and the next you’re--” she trailed off with a dramatic wave of her beer, a sappy grin on her face.

“You’re fucking in said pile of supplies,” Scarlet offered, with a tip of her bottle.

Cara choked on a swig of beer, laughing in between coughs.

“Simply put, yes,” she finally said, giggling.

Scarlet smiled and looked down. She enjoyed feeling so carefree; she hadn’t felt anything like it in God knows how long.

“So,” Cara said, “When are you supposed to go talk to Negan? And how long am I supposed to wait to hear the ‘we knew each other a while ago’ story?”

Scarlet smiled, careful not to break open her lip again.

“I dunno, he just said tonight. I don’t want to interrupt anything important,” she said.

“Oh you wouldn’t be,” Cara said. She knocked her bottle against her teeth and grimaced.

“What do you mean? He just got back from a run, and it looked pretty important. I’m sure there’s a ton of shit for him to do besides talk to me”

Cara gave Scarlet a pointed look. “Sweetie, if you know him at all, you know how much he values women. Especially his women. And by the way he ravaged you with his eyes today I take it that was the case ‘a while ago,’” Cara made air quotations, with one hand still holding her beer bottle, “And still is. The minute you walk into his place he’ll stop everything for you.”

Scarlet looked down at the bottle pressed between her palms. She wasn’t quite sure how that made her feel and she wasn’t quite sure how she felt about him at the moment. The hours since their kiss were filled with Scarlet turning the situation over and over in her mind, trying to understand how it had been possible for her to feel so strongly so fast.

Truthfully, throughout the months she spent at Montgomery, she had taught herself to suppress nearly every emotion imaginable and had thought she could never feel anything again. But having Negan’s breath mingling with her own again had made everything rush to the surface. She felt very overwhelmed.

“You have to give me some background here, girl. I can see the gears turning in your head,” Cara said. “You don’t have to tell me everything. But I want to be here for you and I need a little bit more to go off of.”

Scarlet let out a breath and smiled quickly before starting.

“It’s a lot so I’ll be brief for now. But yeah, we did know each other a while ago. Before I was at Montgomery.”

Scarlet was the unofficial leader of a small group--mainly because she had a big mouth and spoke her mind. She was smart and strong and thrived off of survival and humanity. People did what she said and she liked that.

Negan had found her and a few others after their camp had been swept away in a flash flood. It had happened so fast that none of them had anything on them but the sopping clothes hanging off their bones.

As the first group of Saviors surrounded them, Scarlet stood to speak but Negan had scared the voice right out of her. He was tall and demanding and loud--louder than her. Though he and his people were saving them, it had felt very forced: there was no room to wander from his orders--what he said happened, and everyone knew that.

They were well off with a hearty group of people; it had to have been just before they founded the Sanctuary. As his people took hers in, she grew closer to him. Initially, it was just professional: two leaders trying to merge people into a group that wouldn’t be eaten alive. The days of planning and organizing turned into nights of talking and touching and eventually made it to weeks of never leaving each other’s side.

They were the best of partners in all imaginable ways: their physical compatibility was equal to their ability to fight and lead together. An apocalyptic king and queen ruling over their small, yet strong kingdom.

The night it all changed was a night forever burned into Scarlet’s memory both literally and figuratively. As she etched it out in a way Cara could understand: the images of the fire and blood-soaked intruders danced before her eyes and she recalled the way the smoke in her lungs mingled with the burn of her throat as she screamed for Negan. She could never forget the pain of the blow to the base of her skull that had dropped her straight to the ground, keeping her from reaching Negan and the others. As she spoke, she could hear the sound her body made on the gravel as it was dragged out of the camp and she could still feel sticky fingers on her limbs as she was lugged her into the back of a pickup truck.

She did not, however, have the words to describe the complete emptiness she felt when she woke to her hands bound and a gag shoved down her throat. Her first day alone, ripped from her partner, did not deserve words. Neither did the rest of her past: the time spent with the savages that had initially kidnapped her, her innumerable nights alone after escaping, her imprisonment at Montgomery.

Neither woman spoke for a few moments after Scarlet finished her brief synopsis.

“Scarlet,” Cara began. Her hands fumbled with the empty beer bottle she had in her gasp similarly to the way she fumbled with what to say.

“It’s okay,” Scarlet said, her voice feeling small. “It’s over with. And hopefully turning around for the best.”

Cara nodded with a smile.

Suddenly, a rhythmic knock at the door rang out. Cara pulled her brows together in question and Scarlet shrugged. Both stood and Cara went for the door as Scarlet gathered the few bottles on the floor by the bed.

With her mind still elsewhere, Scarlet cradled the bottles to her chest and made her way from the bedroom to the kitchen. She heard Cara talking at the door. “Oh, sir, I wasn’t expecting you.”

“Well, who were you expecting? The goddamn Girl Scouts selling cookies?”

Negan was leaning against the doorframe, half-shrouded in shadow from the poorly-lit hallway outside Cara’s quarters. The smirk on his face softened his sarcastic snap.

Scarlet’s heart swelled and instead of going to the kitchen, she set the bottles on a small table nestled in a crook by the door, where Cara kept her keys and her gun.

Coming to Cara’s side, she greedily took in the full picture: Negan clad in jeans and a white t-shirt, hands loosely sticking from his front pockets as he let his body rest against the doorframe. His eyes were soft and warm and lazily-drooped with a glimmer of a grin at the corners. She didn’t see the brutal leader she knew he must be, she just saw the man who had saved her more times than she could count in more ways than she could ever know. 

“Two boxes of Thin Mints, please,” she cooed.

How much will my insurance increase after a MINOR fender bender? (ballpark figure please)?

After 11 years of error free driving and on-time insurance payments, I managed to back into someone in a parking lot going about 1 mph. My car was NOT damaged, except for a scraped bumper sticker. The other driver had cosmetic damage only, and being the good guy that I am I gladly helped her navigate the insurance claim. I figured that if it was my car that was dented, I would want it taken care of. Do onto others, right? Anyway, the total payout of the claim was $556. That's roughly seven months of my premium payment. So, how much can I expect to see added to my yearly premium? 10%? 20%? more? Also, how long will it take to recover back to my previous rate? Finally, considering that I've paid this company much more than $556 over the years, how much of an increase should I accept before I start looking for a new carrier?

Worries about insurance with a tracker?

Being a 19 year old male who lives in London, insurance was clearly going to be a problem. I have however found some decent quotes which include having a tracker fitted. Now, I don't mind it too much but I do have some worries: a) The location/address: on the quote, I provided a relative's address which is outside of London (the address is about 40 to 50 minutes away from my actual address). Consequently, the price was cut by about half! The worry I have is that if I have a tracker installed, won't it be obvious to the insurer that this isn't my real home address when they see me parking and basically using my actual address instead of the relatives'? I won't be anywhere near the relative's address b) Speed limits: I once read somewhere that '90%+ people go over the speed limit' and although I don't know how true this is, it's clear from driving that in some areas, going at 30 causes delays and its a bit daunting when you're at the limit but everyone else is just speeding past. How much would this change the insurance? c) Price: is the price of the quote they provide the limit? What I mean is if they see bad driving with the tracker, could it increase the quote or is there a limit? Thanks for any help :) P.S Happy new year!""

Michigan Auto Insurance Premium almost twice as much as quote!?

I'll do my best to summarize my situation, and am using estimates for days and amounts... I received a quote for auto insurance for $590 for a 6 month period from an independent auto agent. When I received my insurance policy and premium price it way nearly double (over $1,100). I cancelled the policy within a week after receiving the huge increase in premiums. Because of the time it took for me to receive my new premium and the 5-7 days for me to cancel, I received a bill for an amount due of roughly $40.00. I previously had auto insurance through the company/agent but it was for a different vehicle and paid a month in advance. My question is, why am I responsible, and how am I responsible for the premium that is so much higher than what I was quoted? I didn't sign any paperwork, I called over the phone and had the agent switch the policy based on the new quote. Auto insurance played a huge factor in budgeting for the vehicle and I feel that I was ripped off. I should be getting a credit for the 10 days that I did not use, not having to pay more for the days I did use. Thanks for any advice you're able to provide!""

So I considered selling my Punto and try getting an automatic to go on my mams insurance as she has over 10 year no claims, but her 200 insurance went up to 2500.

""How to apply for Louisiana Children's Health Insurance Program, LACHIP?""

Are you looking for a low cost health insurance program for your children? Do you live in Louisiana? Well, I just recently found a program called LACHIP that offers affordable healthcare coverage for children. Step1 I'm a stay at home mom, and for awhile my child was getting sick all the time. Our insurance was good but, it didn't cover everything. Then suddenly, my boss told me that she was cutting my hours. I frantically started seeking healthcare insurance that was affordable but, would cover everything we needed. That's when I found a program called LACHIP. Basically, LACHIP is a no-cost or low-cost medicaid health insurance program for children. Step2 First thing, you need to find out if you qualify for the program. The program is basic on income. To find out the income guidelines, contact your medicaid office. They will also give you an application to fill out. To find out your medicaid office contact information, go to: http://www.dhh.state.la.us/offices/contacts.asp?ID=119 Step3 Finally, when you get the application in the mail, fill it out and return it back to the office. Now when I filled mine out, I did not have to put a stamp on the envelope because it was already pre-paid. Then within about a week, someone from the medicaid office will call you and tell you if you are approved or not. If you are approved, then you will receive a medicaid card in the mail for your child(ren) within 6 weeks. Once you receive it, you use the card anywhere medicaid is accepted. Also, don't forget to ask your medicaid representative to include a list of things that medicaid covers.

Car Insurance for a New Driver?

hi, I just got my license like 2 days ago and I have a question about car insurance.

When I asked the dmv how long it would take for me to recieve it, they said like 4-6 weeks.

Is fully comprehensive insurance worth paying on a 1000 car?

I'm a 39 year old driver who's had a full licence since the age of 17, I have full no claims and although I've been involved in 2 accidents neither of them were my fault (fingers crossed I'm not to speak too soon). I'm only buying a car worth 1000 and the difference in cost between fully comp and 3rd party, fire & theft makes it worth thinking about going for the latter as the fully comp is 609 with 250 excess and TPFT 480 with 250 excess. Does anyone know, if I was involved in an accident cause by a 3rd party driver can I claim from their insurance?

However I was put in contact with a type of agency who assist in these cases and I got reimbursed for my car and neither did it affect my insurance.

""No health insurance, new baby?""

I just had a baby born, and I lost my health insurance. We planned to put my baby and I on my husband's university plan, but he is not a full time student anymore, as he works to provide for us. It makes all of us without health insurance and we cannot afford to buy one for the three of us. We do not qualify for federal help either. My husband works for the company that does not offer health benefits. If he were to switch a job, then we would get benefits in 3 months. Are there any options for us?""

""Can I report my (former) car insurance to someone, Texas?""

I was insured with a cut rate car insurance company because I needed a SR22 for no insurance from many, many, years ago that finally did catch up to me just now. Anyway, I was having my payment drafted out of my debit card each month. Well a few days before my insurance was due I realized that I unexpectedly was going to be short. It was due one day & I didn't get paid for another 2 days. So I called up my agent & explained the situation & asked if my policy had a grace period? They put me on hold to check. They came back on the telephone & said yes I had 7 days from the date it was due. They said I would be fine cause I got paid 2 days later. Well I go back up there a couple of days later to make my payment. Mind you, I'm still well w/in the grace period. The computer would not take my payment. The agent made a call, then spoke to someone, & then informed me my insurance was dropped for lack of payment. I was like whoa I was told I had a full week grace period She said to me Well, when you called you didn't inform us that you had your insurance drafted from your debit card. I was like A) Y'all didn't ask when I called & B) How in the world would I know to tell you that? Especially since y'all never asked. They basically said Oh well. She did make it clear that if I had not had auto drafting that the grace period would still stand. Maybe I'm clueless but I never had an incident where I was ever late on my car insurance. Now my DL is suspended. I don't know if this place gets a kick back by starting over my insurance w/a whole new policy. If I had had started over again the rate would jump & I would have to repay them to refile my SR22. Is that legal?? Like I said what do I know????""

How much would insurance on a mustang cost (ROUGH GUESS)?

Okay, so my mom's car (Chevrolet Cobalt) is finally paid off. I get my license in less than 3 months. We're wanting to get a 2011 Mustang. The concern is though, the insurance cost. Her and I would have to be on the insurance. Her insurance now is like 185 every 2 months, because she got a speeding ticket a while ago so it went up..? But this isn't going to be a really expensive car. The MSRP is around 22k and the only option I would get is automatic, instead of shift. Which is like an extra 1000. But of course it's a 2 door sports car.. So any estimations? Like extremely rough estimations. Like the average insurance, not real high or real low protection. She'd be the primary driver. ONE more question. 2011 Mustang or 2011 camaro? I like the camaro better, but she thinks it's ugly. But it's less than 1k more than the mustang, and I would love it.. I'm male by the way and make all A's in school if that has any effect at all, which i doubt. Thanks very much!""

Cheap full coverage car insurance for an 18 year old?

""2nd speeding ticket in 13 months in the state of CA, how do i avoid insurance rates going up?""

So in california you can only go to traffic school once every 18months and if you take another traffic school (before 18 months is up) your insurance company can see that you took a traffic school. Although your record will be clean (they remove the point) if the insurance company sees that 2nd traffic school will they raise the insurance rates? also, this is my 2nd speeding ticket (1st one was in may last year, but cleared cause I went to traffic school) If I fight the ticket will it affect my insurance rates?""

Insurance companys are evil?

So my dad is a very involved liberal democrat. We both really like obama (for the most part) and we've been invited to some protest down in Washington DC about how insurance companys are evil and need to change the way they do things. Which i'm excited about, i've never been to washington and it sounds fun. But the problem is.. i dont know very much about how insurance even works. I'm only eighteen, i've never had to deal with it before. I know a little, but since i'm young, its mostly just from the daily show. which is a crappy way to base any opinions i have off of. I'm more informed than most 18 year olds, but i'd still like to know more, if i end up going to this thing. So, can anyone explain to me why they're evil and what needs to change? Id ask my dad but he never shuts up once you get him started..""

How much do you pay for home insurance?

So we are paying like $132 for car insurance on two vehicles with American Family Insurance and we both have clean records although we are young 22 (f) and 24 (m). We just got a quote from Wawanesa they said we could do full coverage through them for half the price 80 a month!

So now through AFI we pay about $40 a month for home insurance is that a good price with the combined home and auto??

In the end I am just looking for how much you pay and if you combine your auto with the same company. Thanks!!

#MovingOut with @Tohrtured_Soul and @V_Bloodletter

Tohrment - After talking to Wrath, I felt better. I knew I was being a shit, but at the same time, that was my shellan that got killed, not to mention my best friend. How was he thinking I was supposed to act? It didn’t matter though, I had to do what was right, I wasn’t going to become like the B.O.B. besides, I owed Wrath, more than I was willing to admit. Closing my eyes, I inhaled the city air, thankfully it wasn’t as bad as the actual city, but hey, we get our own run of the mill. I needed to make my way to the Tombs at some point, but I needed to find a brother to help me. Pulling out my phone, I texted Phury to see if he was free.

Phury - *Coming out of ZeroSum my mind so far of left base that I didn’t even see the bouncer I bounced off, my apologies lost amidst his grunts* Sorry man, I didn’t see you there. *Running my shaking hands through my hair, my to-do list going over and over in my head. 1- Get Tess to see Piper. 2- Pray to the Scribe that Piper could fix Tess’s memory. 3- Kick Xhex’s ass for getting Blay more annoyed at me then he already was. Mind you I wasn’t sure that was her fault but it was better to blame the female then look to close at my own actions. 4- Track down Rehv as speaking to his minions wasn’t cutting it right now. Pulling out my phone as it caused my leathers to get excited with the vibrations, reading Tohr’s short and sweet text a smile playing on my lips. Some things never changed in a world that was changing around my faster than I could cope with. Texting back arranging to meet Tohr on the roof of the Commodore, just needing to be above all my problems right now. Dematerialising as I send it and reforming on the Commodore’s roof, my yellow eyes taking in the lights of Caldwell beneath. Holding still my hands in the pockets of my leather coat, my multi coloured hair blowing in the wind*

Tohrment - Looking out into the night, I felt the odd calm. It was odd, and it was weird. It wasn’t something I expected to find in this city with the Lessers, and this idiotic war we’re fighting. Idiotic because we got caught up in a feud between a brother and sister. Although, I felt worse for Vishous considering he was bred from that family feud in a way. He was bred by a man who was vicious, aptly name for Vishous. I chuckled softly at the thought, before getting it back on track, and has a mother who thinks the old world is the new world, which it so wasn’t. And an uncle who thinks his sister sucks because she can create, and he only can destroy. Can anyone say Dr. Phil? I felt my phone vibrate, and my head shook from side to side. The commodore, really? Relaxing myself, I let myself dematerialize, feeling the particles scatter across the lands before regrouping on top of the building. Slowly, I walked to the ledge, and stood on it. Was I going to jump? No. Just something pulled me to the edge, so I decided to stand, just a moment.

Phury - *Looking over to Tohrment and his still body, his toes hanging in thin air. Stepping up beside him my voice low* You know if you jump from this height you would have more than enough time to dematerialise. *Tugging my hands through my hair my eyes lost to the night* So what’s up buttercup? You wanted me and here I am, willing and able to lend a hand! *Images of Tess still nagging at me, images of the Lessers I had caught and trapped in the warehouse for Rehv and mine’s business enterprize. Tess’s words that last night she knew me, telling me to stop or she would go out hunting. Fisting my hands down by my sides, pushing away my feelings. Right now feelings only brought pain, and I had enough of that each time I looked into Tress’s Blue/green eyes. Eyes that didn’t know me, that didn’t remember us. And on top of all that I was meant to be looking for Cop! Closing my eyes, SHIT! Cop I hadn’t made any headway looking for him, that ex-human, ex-cop had just upped and disappeared. Giving myself a mental shake and focusing back to Tohr*

Tohrment - “Yeah, and I may just do that at some point, but in all honesty Phury, who said I’d dematerialize before I hit the pavement?” I asked, looking at him. He was one brother I knew I could count on for almost anything. The one brother I guess I depended on the most. I knew I couldn’t tell him everything, not just yet. “I stopped the drug usage…” I said before side glancing at him. There was something I had in common with Phury, to a point. We both depend on someone else to keep us together, if not...then we’d lose ourselves, or well, one of us does. “I also need your help, it may take a few trips though, and it may take awhile, you up for it?” I asked, getting over this uncomfortable feeling in my gut.

Phury - *The shock was a pleasant one at least, I hadn’t liked watching Tohrment fall down the rabbit hole so to speak. In one way it brought back bad memories and in another way I was able to see what others had seen in me. And yes it was as bad as I always thought it was. Crossing my arms over my chest stepping back from the edge* Drugs gone good, talking about face planting the pavement way, way, way down below. Not good! *Letting my eyes down a slow once over, my mind at ease with what I was seeing. Tohr had been broken but it looked like the male was at last on the on a path to the promised land* Ok so what do you want help with may I ask? I love they way you want me to offer my service without details? So it is a body dump? Lesser hole? A few trips… *Pinches the bridge of my nose, one hand down at my side* Tell me it isn’t anything to do with food, as the only thing I can think of that takes a few trips is gathering food to feed Rhage.

Tohrment - I cracked up at that humor. It felt good to laugh. “No food runs. Besides, Rhage is adult enough, most times, to feed himself.” I chuckled. I looked down again, I wanted his help in more ways than one, he understood emotions better than I do. The only time I dealt with emotions, was when Wells was alive, other than that. I forgot how to feel. “We’re going to the tombs tonight.” I said, before looking at him. “We’ve got some jars to drop off, before going to the Pit to hand V some phones and shit, to see if he needs us to head to any other locations before the night is out.”

Phury - *Nodding along with Tohrment, my eyes lost to the night sky. Letting loose my own laugh taken away on the winds, frowning as I turn to look at Tohrment not commenting about Rhage and his food needs* The tomb I get, but why are we heading to the pit? Have you checked with Vishous to see where he is? *Stepping away from the edge of the roof running my hands through my hair, I had already taken a quick look at Butch’s room in the pit but another look wouldn't hurt.* I haven’t had many jars to place in the tomb of late. *Not thinking of all the Lessers I had caught waiting to be killed in training exercises, the ones already killed well their jars I had placed in the tomb. A heavy feeling in my gut churning my stomach, I knew working with Rehv to help train civilians was right. But I was beginning to think Tess was right, I really needed to let Wrath know what I was doing with my down time*  

Tohrment - Scratching my head, looking at Phury. “I haven’t talked to any of the brothers, but you since I left, so…” I chuckled nervously. “It was an old habit to really break collecting the jars and shit. However, I wasn’t going to go where I wasn’t wanted, you know?” I looked back at him, ignoring the sudden twinge in my heart. Shaking my head, I decided to drop that emotion before it started. “So anyway, you in?” I asked.

Phury - *Muttering some choice words in the old language as I pull out my phone, sending a quick text to Vishous to see where he was my eyes looking up to Tohrment* I’m in like Flynn. So how do you want to do this? Hit the tomb now than back to the Mansion or Mansion first then a predawn visit to the tomb? *Pocketing my phone and rolling my shoulders as I try to lessen the tension across my shoulders, this night was ending quicker than I would like these nights. And once it is over I have nothing but Tess to try and short out*

Tohrment - I laughed lightly at his choice words. “Let’s just hit the tombs first. No sense in bothering V unless we absolutely need him, ya know?” I shrugged. Something was bothering my brother, but I didn’t ask. It wasn’t my place to. He knew he could tell me anything, or at least I hoped he knew. “You bring one of the cars, or are we dematting to the gates and five fingering V’s?” I smirked, trying to ease some of his tension, whether it was working or not. I didn’t know. Something in his yellow eyes pulled me close to him. Grinding my teeth, I stopped that train before it even went off. He was a brother, and a good friend. That was it. That was all it’ll ever be.

Phury - *Just shaking my head as I text Tohrment the directions to my BMW, pocketing my phone my voice low as I lean in towards him* I think Vishous knows we always need him, sometimes I swear he thinks we can’t do anything without him. And he may be right! But as for taking his ride, I am not that mad. Not in this lifetime, or my next if I make it to the Fade. *Standing back my eyes glancing over Caldwell* I’ve sent you the location of where my car is parked I will see you there in a few seconds. *Dematerialising and sending my molecules through the night, reforming by my car and running my hands through it. Turning as I feel the air move trying to locate where Tohrment was going to appear*

Tohrment - I quirked a brow at the text, and thought why the fuck couldn’t he just tell me where the fuck he parked? Shaking my head and closed my eyes as I dematerialize before materializing back to the location of where Phury parked. I looked at him when I opened my eyes, “You know, you could have just told me...not text me.” I smirked. Phury was so fun to pick on, so easy to get close to. Shaking my head, I walked over to the passenger side of the car and waited for him to unlock it, being a smart ass, I sent him a text message of my address.

Phury - *Getting into my car as my phone chimes, starting the engine then looking at the text from Tohrment. Chuckles as I set off my eyes on the road, making sure not to run any red lights* So will you text Vishous and let him know that you have wallets for him and I need to look at Butch’s room again. *Hoping Tohrment didn’t ask too many questions why I was going to be pulling apart Butch’s room, flicking on the radio the low sound of Bach filling the car* Now I hate to ask but why am I taking you home first? Did you forget to eat when you woke?

Tohrment - “Ha. Ha.” I muttered before pulling out my phone and texted Vishous, “Hey brother, long time no talk. You finally gonna answer texts?” I smirked at my message before looking at Phury. “I already did. We’re going to my place, because I need to get the jars, and my shit. Wrath is making me live back in the manse.” I said the last part bitterly, but I didn’t really have a choice. With V’s security precaution, it was understandable to a degree. For someone like me however, not really a safe bet, but no one argued with Wrath, not unless you wanted your head on a platter. However, that was before what Phury said dawned on me. “Wait...what do you need to look for Butch?” I asked, but Phury was saved from answering by him driving. “Never mind, you can answer that later.” I said.

Vishous - My night off didn't go down the way I wanted it to and so my moods edges were rougher than usual. Maybe just maybe a couple bottles of Goose of an evening pounding away on some heated metal in my Forge will change the tone of the night. I was still muttering curses and snarling as I did, while I made my way down through the underground tunnels. A couple Doggen passed by me on their way to clean something and they dunked swiftly out of my way which only brought about a low growl. I was still throwing a piss fit under my breath when my phone chimed in. The text came through and I didn't bother to reply to it. Instead I had my brothers coordinates pulled up on my phone and I was changing the direction of where I was going. It took barely two minutes to have me stepping out of the garage and into the nights crisp, cold air and with my next breath in, I vanished from sight. It was easy enough to realize where Tohr was going with the steady pace in which his GPS was moving and I came to just outside of the place he had been calling home since he left the Manse. I waited just outside the house with my curiosity a little piqued at what the Brother might need.  

Phury - *Pulling up outside Tohrment’s my yellow eyes glowing as I sense more than see Vishous, it was a perk of being a brother and the rite that brought us into the fold. Giving Tohrment a hard elbow to his ribs* Eyes wide buttercup Vishous is here, so you need to spit on your hand straighten out your hair and look sharp. And FYI I just need to look around Butch’s room for what he might have taken with him, I am hoping it brings some light on where the exhuman has gone. *Jumping out of my car running my hands through my hair as I scan the area, it was second nature to check for Lessers. Nodding to Vishous as I step up beside the male* If I knew you were going to be here I would have brought you a Lewlhen, so are you here to help Tohrment carry all these jars as well as boxes? *Stands beside Vishous watching Tohrment walk over* Scribe Tohrment get a move on, we need to get this done before dawn. TONIGHT!

Tohrment - I sensed him before I saw him. Vishous looked like hell, worse than myself. Something wasn’t right, I wasn’t being told something and it was fucking pissing me off. I get it, none of them were real sure about me considering the hell I’ve been putting myself through, however something was extremely fucking off with these two, and where the fuck was Butch at? Damn, no wonder Wrath needed me so bad. This shit was just… heartbreaking more than one. Phury’s voice yelling at me snapped me out of my mind before I slipped out of the car and walked to the brother. “Alright fuckers, none of us are fucking moving from this goddamn spot until someone fucking tells me what the fuck is going on. Vishous looks like me when I lost Wellsie.” I snapped coldly at both of them, watching them both closely for any signs of...well anything.

Vishous - Yeah, I should have been smart before leaving the Manse and sucked down a bottle. But nooooo, I was trying to get here to see what the fuck was up. Lesson learned, I thought. I shook my head at Phury. “Yeah that is a massive FUCK NO.” I fixed a hard stare on Tohr when he came up to me. “Did you text me because you needed a moving buddy?” My head was shaking again. “If that is the reason for the text, then I am out of here now so I can go snuggle up with a sizzling piece of metal and a blunt.” I crossed my arms over my broad chest. “And, Phury is right, clue me in on what is up so I can get a move on and you two can as well before that big ball of light in the sky comes up and we are all fucked up beyond repair.” My brow drew down in straight up confusion with Tohr's last question. “No clue what you are talking about, Brother and you are deterring from the topic at hand, what the fuck is up?”

Phury - *Rolling my shoulders shaking my head as I looked from Tohrment to Vishous, then just letting out a hoarse laugh placing my hand on Vishous’s shoulder* V my man I do believe we have both been conned into being Tohr’s mules for moving him back to the Mansion. *Looking over to Tohrment, then noding up to the building* So lead the way and we will get as much as we can and maybe call in Fritz to organise the rest, then we should have time to hit the Tomb as well. As for what’s up, well that is easy. NOT me! *Muttering to myself as I head off to Tohrment’s old home, my thoughts lost in how much things have changed lately*

Tohrment -  Letting some of those comments fly by, for now. “Actually no princess.” I smirked looking at V before going inside my place and grabbing a few phones and IDs. “These are yours to do what you do best, if you need us to hit any of the places that may show up before the great fireball in the sky show up, you gotta let us know.” My hand clasps on Phury’s neck, and shakes him a bit. “Twinkle toes and I can handle everything else.” I grin.”And by the way fucker…” I look at Phury. “Don’t break anything.”

Vishous - I pinched the bridge of my nose and I almost actually started to count to ten, fifty or any number but my mouth was opening before I made it to one. “I have your princess, Brother. She is in the form of wood and I shaped her down just for you.” The grin that curled the ends of my mouth up, reached the pure wickedness in my icy gaze. “Trust me, I am the last person you want moving anybody's things, unless you want them turned into kindling for a bonfire.” Chuckling for a second until Torh handed over the items collected from the Lesser. All joking and smart assness aside, I nodded at both Brothers as tucked the wallets and phones inside my jacket pocket. “Cool deal, I will text you in a few once I pull up what I can on them.” I gave a salute, before turning on my shitkickers and bailing out to a spot and dematerializing into the night air.

Phury - *Throwing my hands up into the air as Vishous disappears, then glaring at Tohrment* Why am I left to be your slave for the night! *Picking up boxes and heading back to my waiting car, then doing it again and again till my car was full and my hair was sweaty!* Ok I am calling time, how many boxes can one male have? They aren’t even that heavy, I swear some might even be empty. *Locking my yellow eyes on his* Tell me I didn’t just carry your Star Wars collection? As in one figure per box? *Starting the engine and revving it, letting my anger out on the world in a safe way*

Tohrment -  I followed suit in carrying the boxes in the car, trying not to laugh at the stunt I pulled on him with the boxes. Shaking my head, I pat his shoulder. “No, they are the hair dryers that I stole from you throughout the years. I figured I’d place one in each box, and let you figure out which was which.” I grinned at him before slipping into the passenger side. “Let’s head to the tombs first, and deposit the jars, if we carry them into the manse, Wrath will have our asses.”

Phury - Wwwwwwhat! YOU are the one that stole all my hair driers! *Pulling out into what little traffic there is at this hour of the night, well early morning at this stage. Letting the car jerk sending Tohrment into the car door, then taking a hard left sending him into my side* Hey man stop messing about and flailing around like a young on a day trip. *Hitting the highway at top speed and tugging the steering wheel from left to right a few more times, and putting my favourite Jazz station on at full volume* The Tomb here we come, that is if Tohr stops playing around! *Glancing at Tohrment my yellow eyes glowing from under my hair*

Tohrment - “Hey hey!” I exclaimed as I held on to the ‘oh shit’ handle. “Stop being an ass!” I laughed at him. Man it felt good to laugh. Shaking my head, grinning wide as fuck. “Don’t worry, I didn’t use them to dry my nuts or anything.” I grinned wide as fuck, gripping onto the handle, and the dashboard this time, just in case Phury decided to play chicken with me again. “The tombs, onward we go!”

Phury - *Laughing softly at the sight of Tohrment hanging on for dear life as I pull onto the dirt track leading to the Tomb, slowing down as my car wasn’t a 4x4 and it wasn’t meant to drive along potholes. Shutting down the engine and getting out carrying some of Tohrment’s jars, making my way into the tunnel slash cave leading to the false wall then gates protecting the Tomb* So you been busy? *Holding up the jars in my hands* Or did you just miss me?

Tohrment - “Let’s just say it’s been boring as fuck without you around.” I admitted, taking some of the jars and placed them inside the Tomb, placing them where they needed to be. After looking around this place, I’ve noticed that this place was seriously beginning to overload on the jars. Never ending war, and we..we..shaking my head. This wasn’t the place to dwell in the past. The more you tried to delve into it in here, the more it sinks its teeth into you.I stepped out into the cool night, seeing no text from V. I looked at Phury, “Ready to head home?”

Phury - *Nodding as we get back into the car* Next and last stop of the night is the Mansion. *My mind going to Tess and wondering what state I will find her in when we get back, but knowing I still need to do another search of Butch’s room. Not that I will find anything new, Fritz was able to tell me a few clothes were missing. My next idea was one I didn’t want to do and as the male has left and not been taken I really didn’t want to do it. But I would have to look into his call and text logs, and I would have to do it without Vishous’s help as the less people got in Cop’s way the better depending on why he was MIA. Pulling my car into the underground garage and killing the engine, climbing out yelling to Tohrment as my mood drops* Look you can get the boxes yourself right I have something to do.

Tohrment - As the mood shifts, I look to Phury, “you alright?” I asked. Something was bothering him, and it bothered me. “I mean, I know I been out of the circuit a bit…” That look stopped me cold. The look of pure anger at my statement. Fuck.

Phury: *Just shaking my head as I mumble at Tohrment* You haven’t just been off grid you have been gone. A lot has happened here and my problems aren’t the most important. *Grinding my teeth as I turn away heading down the tunnel, I would leave Tohrment and Vishous to it for now and check up on Tess first. Then I would come back and invade Butch’s room, looking back over my shoulder* If you still need help yell.

Tohrment - I cringed at his words, knowing he was right. “I’m sorry…” I mumbled behind him, not really sure if he heard me or not as I seen his retreating back. My heart throbbed out for him, for me to chase him. I felt though, if I would have done that, that shit would end worse than it already had. Shaking my head, I turned around and started to gather my boxes that actually held my shit, and started up to the manse and into a spare bedroom. My heart breaking at his words, ‘You haven’t just been off grid, you’ve been gone.’  #MovingOut
