Jack hadn't planned to go so hard with Shanda this week. They had partied almost every night which was great for his sleep but also having a hangover every morning sucked. On her last night, the shots they took made his stomach turn.

"Are you gonna be okay when I leave? I don't want you dying on the couch." Shanda had called a cab to take her to the airport and Jack was giggling like a child.

"I'll be fine. I'm going to gently crawl up those stairs and probably sleep on the floor." His face was red from laughing and Shanda shook her head.

"I'll call you when I land you idiot. You better have gained some weight the next time I visit. I want all the healthy updates! Get you some pussy too!" The horn from the taxi sounded and she crawled onto the floor to hug Jack one last time before stumbling towards the front door. Jack couldn't remember the last time he got this drunk but he knew that he loved being able to fall asleep the way he had the last few nights.

He knew he wasn't supposed to drink with his meds but he was so tired of being exhausted all the time. Shanda helped him feel like he could check out without it being a big deal. She knew he shouldn't be drinking but she was with him and knew that she would stop him before he got too far gone.

She hadn't planned on getting a call from her girlfriend about coming home a day early though so she fire off a text to his neighbor from his phone about checking on him before she left.

Y/n wasn't sure what it meant to get a text that said:

Jack: Hey can you come by and make sure I haven't died later?

She tried to call but received no answer which made her worry. She decided to head over around 11, just to see if he would answer.

"Jack? Are you dead?" Y/n knocked a few times before opening the door slowly. She walked towards the living room and saw empty shot glasses and a bottle and a half of empty liquor. Had he been entertaining? Should she assume he had a woman over and leave before she embarrassed herself? She didn't know what to do but she was too nervous that something was wrong.

"Jack! If I find you naked in bed with someone, I'm going to be pissed." She paused seeing vomit trailing up the staircase. She walked around it and popped her head into the first room that was dark. Nothing.

The next room had a dim light on but he wasn't in there either.

"Jack?" She called out again before pushing the door open and seeing his body leaned against the bed, head craned all the way back and his chest lurching forward.

"JACK!" He was choking on his vomit. Y/n rushed over and turned him over on his side allowing the puke to hit the floor. He struggled against her, trying to crawl away but she slapped him on the back.

"Breathe Jack!" Y/n could see he was trying to crawl towards the door, face red from trying to allow a new breath but he couldn't. His eyes were panicked as he flipped his head towards her.

"Stay calm! Stay calm and don't bite me okay?" Y/n grabbed him by the head and he nodded quickly before she shoved two fingers down his throat purging the trapped vomit and allowing him to get the alcohol out of his system.

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry." Jack mumbled now able to take in oxygen. Y/n rubbed his back and uses her clean hand to hold his hair out of his face.

"It's okay Jack. Just breathe okay?" Y/n tried to soothe him but now he was getting upset.

"We should really get you to the hospital." Y/n said but Jack sat up quickly.

"I can't." Jack pleaded.

"They'll want to check me in for a hold and I just...I can't go back. I'm not fucked up, I just overdid it." Jack was practically begging and Y/n felt torn. She literally had to stick her fingers down his throat to help him breathe.

"Well if you won't let me take you then I have to stay here and keep an eye on you Jack. I would never be able to forgive myself if you aspirated and I didn't do anything to get you help." Y/n sat on her knees in front of him and he nodded.

"Thank you...I promise this isn't...this isn't related to this." Jack pointed to his head letting her know that this wasn't some mental break or attempt on his life. He simply drank way too much with a friend.

"You know you aren't supposed to drink on anti psychotics right?" Y/n noticed the pill bottles on his nightstand and he swatted them on the ground as if he didn't want her to read them.

"I don't mean to invade your privacy, I just...Jack you have to know that alcohol is gonna make shit worse, right? You're too intelligent to not know that." Y/n scolded him like a child but he knew he deserved it.

"I know. My best friend came into town to surprise me. I just...it helped me get some really good sleep." Jack explained.

"They make vitamins for that. Hell they make weed pens for that but alcohol? I should be giving you a forehead smack for scaring me like this but I know the hangover will be harsh enough." Jack looked at her seeing how upset she truly was.

"How did you know I needed help?" Jack asked curiously.

"I got a text from you that was way too ominous and the front door was unlocked. I was more afraid you were up here fucking but instead-"

"I was choking on my vomit." Jack rested his elbow on his knee and his hand on his forehead.

"I guess Shanda sent a text after she left. I'm glad she did, you saved my life despite how pathetic I feel at the moment." Y/n gripped his chin from his palm almost too rough but it got his attention.

"Yeah I did save your life which means I don't think you're pathetic. Don't so stupid shit like this please. I've grown pretty fond of you and I honestly couldn't take the idea of losing anyone right now." Y/n released his chin and he frowned at her, reaching out with his gross hand to rest on top of hers.

"I'm sorry I scared you. Thank you for saving me." Jack had genuinely meant both his apology and his gratitude. He hadn't had this many honest feelings towards someone since he was checked into the hosptial. Y/n was changing his way of thinking every day.

"You're forgiven but we absolutely need to get you cleaned up because as much as I like you, I don't want to hang out in your vomit." Y/n gave him a weak smile and he returned it with a nod.

Captive AU

So, the GIW has been around for a while.

Ghosts have been a problem for centuries, the US Government wouldn't have waited until the 21st Century to figure out a way to deal with them, so the GIW has been around for years. And the general Public knows about them, it's a common household name like the FBI or the CIA. They are simply seen as another government organization doing its job, no need to care about the Ghosts they capture, they're Non-Sentient anyways.

Over the years of their existence, they have acquired their own little prison full of Ghosts. And among that collection of Ghosts, 4 stand out.

Because they are somehow Ghost-Human Hybrids.

The first was captured a while before the others. A College Student studying Ectology had been admitted to the Hospital after a Lab Accident, where he had been diagnosed with an, as of yet, unknown and incurable Disease. He had Green Boils popping up all over his Face, and he was in excruciating Pain.

The GIW had sent a team to investigate, and they had found that the College Student was slowly transforming into some type of abomination. He was still partially human, but he was also partially a Ghost. They had him declared Dead and shipped him off to a Blacksite Facility to be experimented on.

...

The Second One came about 10 years later. Coincidentally, it was very similar circumstances. The very same pair of scientists who had been acquainted with their previous subject had just admitted their 5 Yr old son into a local Hospital. He had been in a Lab Accident that had stopped his Heart for a few minutes, and out of curiosity the GIW had sent a Team to investigate.

And what did they find, but a perfect recreation of their favorite Test Subject.

They declared the Child Dead, and sent him off to the same Facility they kept the other one in.

...

The 3rd of the Hybrids was actually created in a GIW Lab, 3 Years Later. In an experiment to see if the Hybrids condition could be recreated, a GIW Scientist had taken the DNA of the 2 existing Hybrids and had cloned them.

Of the Test Batch of 15, only 1 Subject survived. It was deemed only a Partial Success, because while they did manage to create a New Hybrid, it was Unstable and prone to melting if overexerted.

They placed it in the same Containment Unit as the other 2, and left it at that. No more Cloning Experiments had been conducted afterwards since the project was deemed an overall Failure.

...

The 4th and Final Hybrid was found in Gotham City of all places, 2 years later.

A GIW Operative had been visiting Family when their Van's Ecto-Detector had gone off. Soon after that they found the Subject in an Alleyway, seemingly disoriented from its recent awakening.

DNA testing had revealed the Hybrid to be deceased Jason Peter Todd, the adopted Son of Bruce Wayne who had been killed 6 Months Prior while studying in Ethiopia. By the Scientists Best Guess, an Anomoly in Space-Time had caused a Natural Portal to open right on top of the Teenagers Corpse, fusing his Deceased Body and nearly formed Ghost into One.

They shipped the Teen off to the Blacksite, and placed him in the same Containment Unit as the others.

...

So now the GIW have 4 Hybrids, all created from different circumstances, all different ages.

One was formed from the Slow Death of a College Age Student, after a Lab Accident had flooded his system with Pure Ectoplasm.

One was form from the Instant Death of a 5 yr old Boy, after a Lab Accident had flooded his Body with a dimensions worth of Ectoplasm.

One was created in a GIW Lab in a Cloning Experiment. She was created to be 3 Yrs Old upon Birth, and was Unstable as a Result.

One was created from the Fusion of a Long Dead Teenage Corpse and a nearly formed Ghost, in a random Space Time Event that forced both together.

...

All the Halfas are basically a Family together. Vlad is the oldest, at around 35, and takes the Paternal Role.

Danny and Ellie are the Kids, and are 10 and 5 respectively.

Jason is the Oldest Child, and takes his Older Brother role very seriously. He is 15 when he is brought in.

They all take care of eachother, through all the experiments and tests the GIW force them through.

One of the most common experiments is to have them battle the other Ghosts in Captivity. Although that is just a thinly veiled dog fighting ring that the GIW scientists like to Bet on. Sometimes they are put up against eachother, but they refuse to fight until they are electrocuted into submission.

They were also forced to Push all of their Powers to their Limits every day, just so the Scientist can see how they are growing. This had drained them, since they only got the absolute minimum amount of Ecto to survive off of, and they were forced to use it all up every day.

This goes on for 3 more years.

...

Until the day when the GIW messed up.

During one of their Constant Dog Fights, they had made the mistake of putting two Electricity Core Ghosts against eachother. The resulting battle had created an Electromagnetic Wave that fried all systems in the entire Facility.

It was a Disaster. Dozens of Scientists were killed when the Door Locks failed to contain the captive Ghosts, and even more were injured when a few of the Ghosts managed to break into the Armory on Base.

It was only hours after the whole ordeal was Finally quelled that they realized that their most Valuable Test Subjects were missing.

Vlad, Danny, Jason, and Ellie had taken the chance to run away during the commotion. Vlad had unfortunately been injured during the escape, and Ellie had been forced to use her powers causing her to destabilize a little, but all in all they had managed to escape on one piece.

But now they were fugitives on the run from the Government, with an injured adult and a sick child.

Jason had an Idea though. While he didn't have very clear memories of his life, a side effect of his late resurrection, he did remember that he used to live in Gotham. And they all remember researchers grumbling about how their scanners always malfunction when they passed nearby Gotham.

So, Jason led his little Family to the most Familiar place in the city he could think of.

Crime Alley.

I feel like I haven't caught you on a wip Wednesday in forever! Any new kings this week??

6-12-24 WIP Wednesday (Closed) | New Kings AU

"No, because if you hurt me like that you would be breaking your promise." Kevin stands firm. "You don't break promises Andrew and Neil wouldn't like if you broke this one with me."

Neil's sense of right and wrong had long been twisted. Andrew picking Neil over one of the people he cared about, over one of the Foxes would bother Neil.

And Kevin knows that and, more importantly, Andrew knows that.

"Let go of me." Andrew spits all cold fury and promises of painful repercussions in his eyes.

Kevin knows he won.

Your video game song of the day:

Seeing how popular Dancing Mad is I'm probably just repeating what everyone already knows anyway, but in case you're looking at this post and have never heard this piece... I know it's a lot, but if you can spare those 20 minutes of your life, please do listen to it.

The piece is known and appreciated for its incredible scope in a 1994 SNES rpg, made of four different movements. Each movement has its own amazing moments, and the last movement (starting around 11:32 in the video) is what plays during the "final" final battle and it's just... the ultimate payoff for listening to the whole song.

I don't think I can accurately put into words just what an experience this song is. You have to experience it for yourself. Seriously an absolute masterpiece created by Nobuo Uematsu.

I’ve seen a lot of people doing this so yeah what the heck, I’ll play along. That photo in 2015, my first selfy on Tumblr, I was so happy because I had gotten a job after being laid off and collecting unemployment. I remember that day we got some unexpected snow and I had to drive to sign some papers. It’s scary to drive in Arkansas while there’s snow on the ground.

Dan and Phil saying things™

[walkswithmyfather]

Matthew 9:35-38 (AMP). “Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages [in Galilee], teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news (gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness [His words and His works reflecting His Messiahship]. When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion and pity for them, because they were dispirited and distressed, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is [indeed] plentiful, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

Matthew 6:9-13 (AMP). “Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father, who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. ‘Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. ‘Give us this day our daily bread. ‘And forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors [letting go of both the wrong and the resentment]. ‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]’”

“Lord, Teach Us to Pray” By In Touch ministries:

“Keep talking to the Lord—He always welcomes you, just as you are.”

“When it comes to prayer, there are two common pitfalls to be aware of. First, when it’s unclear what to pray, some people choose not to pray at all. And second, many believers settle into a lifeless form of praying that leaves them feeling hollow and disconnected from God. Both situations lead to discontentment and frustration.

As Christians, we know that we should pray, even if doing so seems daunting. But far more than any sense of obligation we may feel, it’s wise to recognize that God intended prayer as a blessing for His children: Communing with Him is a fundamental way of experiencing His fullness. We have much to gain by praying—including peace, comfort, wisdom, and God’s very presence. So it would be tragic to give up on trying.

And remember, when we communicate with God, there’s no measuring stick or scorecard. A fumbling yet heartfelt attempt pleases Him far more than a well-worded litany that lacks sincerity. And keep in mind that formal prayers—such as the one Jesus taught His disciples (Matthew 6:9-13)—can help us find a path back into the practice when we’re lost.

Start with the Lord’s Prayer today and return to it as often as needed. You may eventually find your own words flowing freely as a result. But if not, don’t give up. Just keep talking to the Lord.”
