Arcane season 2 trailer

Oh wow I'm so excited by this trailer. Spiking adrenaline...I'm scurrying up walls like spider on meth 🤪

Some thoughts:

- it seems to me that Mel is alive (Yay!). Maybe hurt. Ambessa doesn't sound angry enough for death. Also fuck you Ambessa with your "wrath must be met with wrath". What about Piltover's wrath to Undercity over decades and centuries, huh? But you're a war mongering tryant (and textbook narcissist), you wouldn't recognise concepts of justice and fairness it they slapped you in the face. She's on the bottom of my Arcane's characters' likeability list for sure. I don't care that she has got impressive physique. I hate that they gave her place in the game (yes she's even below Marcus and Finn. At least they have decency to be dead).

- Cait being all decisive and competent 😎 But if she's leading attack on Undercity, what are those Noxian soldiers about? Does she work together with Ambessa? *shudder* I like Cait but I kinda want her to fail in all three objectives. Sorry pretty officer, but I'm on side of Zaun's revolution and independence from Piltover's boot. And you sending in enforcers doesn't seem in support of that.

- Vi looks terrible in enforcer uniform. Terrible. And she continues her trend from the very beginning of the series of contradicting her own words to Jinx. How long that "Nothing ever going to change that." held up, huh? A few days? A month? Normally I would give benefit of the doubt due to deceptive trailer's editing, but as I said, it's hardly the first time. When it comes to Jinx, one must take her every statement with a pound of salt. Especially positive ones... I hope I am wrong, tho. Let me be wrong, trailer is lying, and after a breather and time to think, Vi is better than in S1 act three in relating to Jinx.

- Ooh chembarons fighting directly? Yay? Singed under enforcers' gunpoint! I know he's terrible mad scientist but someone save him. Jinx? Sevika? Victor??

- I'm surprised how happy I am to see Sevika again! I always strongly disliked her attitude to Jinx (she was kinda Silco's crew Mylo) so I didn't mind when Jinx hurt her, but I really love to see her back to full strength and fighting for Zaun. Also I am excited for Warwick?!

- Ekko is there. that's it

- and last but definitely not least - JINX! Most important in fact! Every bit of/about Jinx is absolutely BRILLIANT. *rolles around in utter joy* I'm so happy to see her again! 🥰 They already managed to exceed my expectations for her in season 2 in this very trailer. Can you imagine what it'll be to see all they did through nine eps 🤯

From the top - Is that great statue head of Jinx behind chembarons!!!! Is she now their symbol/role model or maybe even some kind of leader!? is that her in hooded cape? Like in that s2 poster? I would love her in cape! She deserves cool cape!

That mural?! THE JINX MURAL!!!! 😍 It's Arcane's rendition of Liberty Leading the People, painting about French revolution! *explodes into fireworks of happiness* Our girl is so legendary that not one but two great works of art are referenced through her🥰 She is revolutionary for Zaun! Or the very least literally symbol of revolution. People behind her have all blue coloured hair. Possibility of Inxs or just sign of people's alignment/allegiance to her?

Despite all the turmoil, planning and fighting my favourite girl still has time for her art installations. Of course she has! Standing there on the pillar with Silco's face saying sarcastic line. (edit: oops it's monkey actually)That's pure theatre. She should really try hand in writing a dramatic play. I think pitch black comedy would be best bet. I wonder if she'll found out that Vi already said her name right before, when she grassed on her to Council. She looks so fierce fighting. Go Jinx go!!!

That's all for now. If we don't get anything else until November I'll be fine. This is more than enough until then😌🤗💙💙

His hands roam my body as I curl the strands of his hair around my fingers. A light moan escapes his mouth as I tug on the strands around my fingers.

“Y/n..” he whispers against my lips. “I want you.”

“Then have me.” I whisper back.

My legs wrap around his waist as he places us in the middle of the bed. My head hits the pillow and the kissing stops. I open my eyes to see him hovering over me. Looking over my body.

“What?” I ask as I try to steady the rapid movements of my chest.

“If we do this then you’re mine and mine only.” He says letting his chest rise and fall rapidly.

“Is that supposed to turn me on? You trying to take ownership of me?” I fire back

“I don’t want anyone else. I don’t want anyone else to have you.” He explains and his eyes grow soft.

If I’m truly being honest with myself I don’t want anyone else in this moment either and clearly neither does he, but what happens when we leave this room? Then what? Are we enemies? Are we friends? Lovers?

Should I just be honest?

“Matt..” I place my hands on his chest and slowly trace them down his sides.

“You don’t mean that. You’re going to get what you want and then leave this room like nothing ever happened. Hell you might even push me in the pool again on the way out so I miss the fireworks.” I am shouting.

“First of all. I pushed you into the pool on accident. Chris and I were jacking around because he was trying to push me into the pool. He purposely pushed me into you and you fell into the pool.” He explains.

Chris…

“Second. I’ve been trying to avoid you because you drive me crazy. Your body is stunning.” He looks me up and down. “You’re funny and beautiful. Your smile lights up not just the room but my whole world when I’m having a bad day. I want you to be mine. I want to keep all your light that you give to myself. I’m selfish if you didn’t know.” He smiles as he leans his body down on mine.

“Matt.” I’m speechless. Tears sting my eyes. “I thought you hated my guts.” I laugh as a year rolls down my temple.

“Not at all sweetheart. I just didn’t know what I was feeling, but seeing you in the pool and how upset you were made me want to protect you from anything that would ever upset you again.” He says as he dips down and kisses my temple where my tear ran down.

“I’m yours.” I whisper and kiss his cheek.

Matt pulls his head up. His blue eyes look darker. Like they are up to absolutely no good and it does nothing but fuel excitement inside of me.

His eyes find his way to my chest and shortly after his mouth follows. His warm kisses trail down the middle of my chest down to my breast. He pulls my nipple in his mouth lightly sucking on it. I can’t help but moan with pleasure as he continues slow motions with his tongue followed by his teeth lightly biting me. He finds his way to my other breast and treats it with the same motions. He releases my nipple and I feel his kisses falling lower and lower until he reaches my bikini.

I feel his fingers finding the sides as he pulls my bottoms down and around my ankles. I hear my wet suit hit the floor. I open my eyes and look at the beautiful sight in front of me. Matt’s hands rest on my knees tickling, tracing little circles on the sides of my legs.

“Stop teasing me.” I pout.

“Hmmm. But it’s fun feeling your squirm under my touch and my tounge.” He smirks.

His head dips down placing more wet kisses down my leg into the my thigh until he’s at my-

He switches legs kissing from my tight up my leg.

“Matth-!” His tongue presses against my clit cutting me off. Instantly all of my frustration dissolves under his tongue. Under the tight grip he has on my thighs pulling me into his mouth. Oh my god he’s so good.

“Matthew-“ I moan and I hear him moan with pleasure against me. Pressure is building below my bellybutton.

“Cum for me y/n. I want your cum all over my face.” Matt says against me

It’s like he knew I was close and just when I think the pressure in my stomach is about to explode I feel more pressure. His fingers have found their way inside of me and I can’t help but moan and scream.

“Matthew please. I want you inside of me.” I say between moans as he quickly pumps his fingers in and out of me

“I want to be inside of you too sweetheart, but first you’re going to cum on my face.”

Something about the way he says sweetheart makes almost tip over the edge. I find my hands on his hair and guide his mouth back over my throbbing clit. The way he sucks and moves his fingers inside of me in a perfect motion makes me fully fall over the edge in breathless moans and screams.

My eyes fly open as I release his hair. His tongue fully covers my entrance to my clit slowly. Making me moan and twitch with sensitive sensation trailing through my body. His tongue fully covers me two times before he pulls himself up from me.

I look up at his blue eyes. His face glistens in the light.

“Good girl.” I smiled at his praise. I look to see the towel that once was covering him to be gone.

My hand covers my mouth.

“Matt. I don’t think you’re going to fit.” I say behind my hand.

His laugh makes me laugh because I sound absolutely ridiculous.

“I’ll go slow.” He says as he rolls a condom on. I don’t know when or where he got it, but it doesn’t matter because watching him roll it on his hard dick was probably the hottest thing I have ever seen. He dips his head down to my sensitive cunt and licks me wet one more time be for coming up to me. He kisses me and I can taste myself on him. I wrap my arms around his neck and legs around his torso as he presses his hardness into me.

“Please..” I beg against his kisses

Matt stops kissing me. His blue eyes are more beautiful than they have ever been right now. He looks down at us and I follow his eyes. His hand is right around his cock as he lines it up with my entrance. Our eyes meet as he pushes himself inside of me and we both let out a moan.

“You’re mine now sweetheart.” He reminds me.

“I’m yours.” I say in a moan as he pushes himself back inside of me harder this time.

Battle on the Sugoroku Board - The Die Has Been Cast 2

(Location: Meeting room)

(A few days later. “Battle on the Sugoroku Board” project briefing session)

Hinata: Heya, Rinne-senpai!

I never thought I’d be able to co-star with other CosPro members! I’m looking forward to the agency competition♪

Rinne: Oh, it’s Hina isn’t it. You’re alone today, huh?

I thought you’d be coming as twins since 2wink means “two in one!” or somethin’ like that, doesn’t it?

Hinata: Yuuta-kun and I aren’t as “clingy” as we used to be~. This time, since only one person from each unit was needed, I thought it’d be fine if I came.

Ah, the vice prez has also arri~ved. Salute~☆

Ibara: Yeah yeah, salute salute.

Hinata: Eh- this is terrible! Vice prez~, are you in a bad mood?

Ibara: It’s annoying to hear the same topic over and over again. The only thing that can ask for a reaction every time is variety shows.

In any case, all that’s left is for Switch to arrive.

We are slightly past the meeting time. Mikejima-shi, Narukami-shi, have you heard anything?

Madara: I don’t know anything about the office, do I?

Even though I took on some odd jobs, I tried not to get involved in the affairs of units or idols.

Arashi: I especially haven’t. Lately, Aoba-senpai seems to be in the office whenever I catch a glimpse of him. Maybe Natsume-chan is telling him to take a break……?

Ibara: Hmm. In order to give the ever busy Eden a break, I called up one person from each unit.

As a result, it’s not hard to imagine that they’d struggle to decide who will represent Switch.

Well then, shall we proceed with the discussion with the present members?

I’d like to ask someone from NewDi to report the information to Switch—

Natsume: ………

Hinata: Ah, Sakasaki-senpai! Everyone was worried you wouldn’t come~

Natsume: ……… (Ignores him)

Hinata: Are you seriously angry!? What happened!?

Natsume: What do you mean “what happeNED.” Everyone here knows about “NETV,” don’t you!?

Arashi: What do you mean……?

Natsume: It felt odd that “Viper” was offering me a jOB, so I did some research on my oWN.

That’s how it wAS—BinGO. The production director for “Battle on the Sugoroku Board” was previously driven out of the entertainment industry for committing a violent ACT.

Madara: Oh? This is my first time hearing about it.

Natsume: WeLL, unlike back then he used a business naME, so I couldn’t tell from the letters alONE. I used a contact from the entertainment industry to get to the bottom of thINGS.

Don’t waste your breATH. You knew about that and got NewDi involved, didn’t YOU?

Ibara: Ahaha! That’s quite the network you’ve got there~, I’m impressed!

I can't help but be surprised that you found my proposition to be so suspicious. But what Natsume-kun said is true.

However, don’t you think it’s harsh to be so angry?

Natsume: ? What did you sAY?

Ibara: The parties involved have already reflected on what happened and have paid the fine. The legal process has come to a close—and the parties have reached a settlement.

This program may be a chance for him to make his return after mending his ways.

It’d be a shame to lose your job because of the echoes of the past, don’t you think?

Natsume: The problem iS that he was hiding that faCT.

Ibara: I didn’t realize it was “hiding” to be considerate of avoiding unnecessary prying. Vexing, isn’t it~?

Or else what? Individual freedom should be determined entirely by who holds authority at the time?

I suppose I was wrong to think that Natsume-kun, who has always been on the side of the outcasts, wouldn’t take such a stance……♪

Natsume: ………

Rinne: They’re fighting before it even starts. It’s so hot I can even see the illusion of fireworks.

I agree with ya, that story— he’s paying for his past sins now though, isn’t he?

Then we from Crazy:B will respect that!

Hinata: So that’s what you think, Rinne-senpai~. As for me, as long as it’s interesting it’s fine.

From what I’ve seen, the planning for “Battle on the Sugoroku Board” is well done, so it’s okay to go there and make the decision then, isn’t it?

Madara: Even then, if he’s still doing bad things, then maybe we can help prevent future bad things from happening.

I’d like to see NETV once too.

Natsume: …… I get IT. If I’m being narrow-mindED, I’ll leave it at thAT.

HoweVER, there won’t be a next tIME. This imitation of foul play has made me even more suspiciOUS.

Senpai also wants to participate in this projECT, so I’ll see what I can dig UP.

Ibara: Yes, yes. It would be helpful if you could do that!

Personally, I merely sympathize with the fact that his future options were limited because of his past circumstances.

If something were to happen during “Battle on the Sugoroku Board,” I would immediately pull out all of CosPro’s idols!

Now then, let’s get into the explanation of “Battle on the Sugoroku Board!” Thank you for your attention……☆

Fireworks

Word Count: 834

A/n - Happy Fourth of July!

"Bon Appétit" · • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

“Hey Dallas, can you light this for me?” 

It was the fourth of July, Y/n’s favorite holiday. Watching fireworks, lighting sparklers, lighting the black-cats in the street and watching them explode, making loud popping sounds and putting black marks in the road. For them, it wasn’t just about the day the United States passed the Declaration of Independence. It was about the memories made by lighting off fireworks with family and friends. Fireworks put a smile on their face, and they were more enthusiastic about the fourth than any other holiday. For them, it was something that they were passionate about, like how some people are with Christmas and Thanksgiving. 

Dallas nodded, and took out his lighter. He lit the punk, to which the friend quickly thanked him for before going over to Ponyboy. The blonde, fourteen year old put a black-cat in the mud, to which Y/n quickly lit and stepped back from. When it exploded, Ponyboy jumped since he wasn't expecting it to go off in the mud, he thought it wouldn’t explode. They laughed, and grabbed the whole pack of black-cats and put them in the street. He steps back as his h/c-haired friend lit them. Getting a few feet away, they watched as the firecrackers exploded with a smile on both of their faces and a gleam in their eyes. Maybe it was the explosions, but for some unfathomable reason they loved the holiday. Quickly, Y/n picked up the trash since there were cars coming around the corner. They waved to the car as the car pulled into the grass to the side of the house. 

Dallas and Steve were standing as they watched from the concrete porch of the L/n house while Johnny sat on the concrete porch. “They really like fireworks, huh?” Steve asked, taking a drag from a cigarette. “Y/n does, that's for sure,” Dallas replied, watching as the two friends started to light a parachute. Johnny nodded in agreement as he got up from sitting on the porch steps. Even though Y/n was about to turn 16, she acted like a child. Always smiling, laughing along to everything, and overly excited about things. The three boys watched as kids ran up and jumped into your arms. You laughed and swung them around before the kids, you, Johnny, and Ponyboy started to light off cherry blossoms. Two-bit then came running down the street, a white bag in his hand. “I brought some more stuff!” 

After a few hours passed, Darrel and D/n had started to try and figure out what they should light first. Of course, Y/n overheard them talking about it so you made your way over to the two. “I got it figured out,” they grinned before explaining, “Fountains, since it's still a bit light out, then artillery shells and cakes. The cakes are the order I want them in. You go from top to bottom, then move over and repeat.” D/n nodded “Thanks kiddo, you’re good at this.” “Learned from the best!” Darry watched as his younger friend walked away, a small smile on his face.

As the kids ran around the yard with sparklers, Y/n watched with a smile on their face. They were at peace. With fountains, and the booms of fireworks going off at other people's houses in the distance. The smell of firework smoke in the air was of comfort, and even though Y/n might get burns due to the punks, they still loved it. Suddenly, they were pushed to the ground by a big, black, and loveable dog. Two more followed behind, also wanting attention. Laughing, Y/n petted their family’s dogs while Sodapop hurriedly walked over to help them up. He extended a hand with a smile, “Here, let me help.” Of course, they weren’t about to deny Soda’s help. They grabbed his hand and he pulled them up. “Thanks, Sodie.” “Yeah no problem,” He paused for a moment “Thanks for inviting me..and the gang, by the way.” Their eyes lit up, more than they have been in the past few hours “Yeah not a big deal! I'm glad you, and the gang, came!” They exclaimed, embracing the boy into a quick hug. “Means alot to me,” Y/n smiled. 

Y/n, the gang, and the 3 dogs were all on a large blanket. It seemed like all of them were staring up at the sky as fireworks of all different colors exploded. All of them watched as the fireworks were launched into the air before exploding, and falling to the ground. Greens, reds, blues, whites, purples, pinks, all sorts of different colors were lighting up the sky and the world around the group. Taking their eyes off the fireworks, Y/n looked to each side of herself with a smile. “Guys?”

The boys turned their attention to their friend, all eager to listen to what their friend had to say. 

“Happy Fourth of July.”

Replacement ★ (Ch 3) OC x Simon "Ghost" Riley

HELLO! I AM BACK! :D I had to take a short break due to school, but I have chapter 3 hot and ready for y'all! I'm SO sorry I disappeared, but I should be staying. :) thank you for reading as always!

you can find this chapter of replacement on ao3 here first chapter ★ prev ★ next

★★★★★★★★★

bite-sized synopsis: trick is finally starting to feel like part of the squad after a mission success and goes out to celebrate

                                           ・┆✦ʚ★ɞ✦ ┆・ A knock on my office door, and I invited whoever was there in with a, “Get your butt in here if you wanna talk.” I was busy filling out some of the mountain of paperwork we were given after our missions every time. But hell, it seems like these documents are double what I’d have to fill out with my old squad. Well, John and I decided to just call them the 1-4-2 instead of my old squad. It fits in more than I thought it would.

But I had an unexpected visitor at my door: Gaz, with Soap and Roach at my door frame. “Hey Trick! The mission went well soooo…” he drew that out like he expected me to know. Instead, I gave him a blank stare from behind my slightly tinted goggles with a shrug.

He huffed. “We’re heading to a pub to celebrate, all of us. Even Price. We also have a spare seat ‘n were wondering if you’d wanna come with?” Gaz’s invitation was unexpected, and I felt myself practically light up. Light up into a million fireworks that go off in my office like the Fourth of July, probably burning everything around me.

I bit my bottom lip underneath my mask, a bad habit of mine to help me think. “Y’know what? Sure. I can see if y’all can handle yer alcohol like I can,” I said with a slight muse in my voice. “I’ll be there in 5, lemme do these papers real quick. Parking lot?”

Gaz gave me a thumbs up with that smile of his before dragging the boys with him away. I could hear Soap’s excitement about going to a pub and Roach’s small question about it. A laugh escaped my mouth while I moved my fountain pen on the papers I was signing, being very careful with my writing.

I haven’t done these kinds of papers in so long. Usually, I’d be working on them with my 1-4-2 officer— who was surprisingly not Xiomara but instead Jackson, Callsign Falcon.

Jackson would critique me for my messy writing and leave me laughing about it, then letting him rewrite it in nice legible cursive. He was my most trusted officer; he’s saved my life a few times too. He and I were both heartbroken by Xiomara’s… loss. The entire squad was, we all wanted to pack up and run away.

I heard he’s still on recovery leave. That’s what John had told me, at least.

Speaking of the devil, John’s knuckles wrapped on my office door frame and invited himself in, standing in front of my desk with a light smile overshadowed by his mustache. “You ready, Ver?” He asked in his usual father-like voice, but I think that’s just the oldness in him really showing at this point.

“Mm. Yeah, I think I’m ready. I got a good chunk down; I’ll get the rest done later in the evening.” I stood up and went around my desk to John. But I felt compelled to do something. I just stood in front of him awkwardly, looking right up at him with my hands awkwardly down at my sides. I lifted up my goggles on top of my hat to look at him properly.

I wrapped my arms around John and hugged him. Shit, I could barely wrap my arms around him but I managed to still, barely. He stood in shock momentarily before hugging me back and gently patting me on the back. “I’m proud o’ you, Ver. You’ve been through so much, ‘n here you are. As strong as a boulder, eh?”

The words coming from his mouth made me tear up. Fuck.

I have been told “you’ve been through so much” as a pitying phrase. As a “oh you poor thing” phrase. But never in the way John told me, he told me he was proud of me. And not even my own brothers would say that they’re proud of me. They’d say I’m just getting the short end and eventually, it’ll get better, but John is acknowledging more than just the past. He’s acknowledging my strength.

I’ve never squeezed someone harder while he pats my back. “Thanks, John. You know how to tug heartstrings.” I pulled away from the hug and crossed my arms, straightening my back again. “Now let’s go ‘n shotgun some coldies; maybe I’ll make you take a shoey from Soap’s boot.” I gently nudged him with an elbow while wiping my cheeks of my tears with my other hand.

“Yeah, let’s go ‘n get shitfaced,” he joked as he gave me a pat on my shoulder and led me out to the parking lot. Everybody was there before us and about to pile into John’s truck before I noticed that I… wouldn’t be able to fit in.

John caught on soon after me and started counting everyone, then the seats. “Okay! We need volunteers on who’s gonna go in the truck bed.”

“What?” I nearly broke my neck when turning to look at John. “What the fuck do you mean by goin’ in the truck bed? It’s bad if all of us are piss drunk ‘xcept one, but worse if we have someone in the bed o’ the truck vomiting all over themselves.” I shook my head a bit while considering what we can do.

“We can put Trick in the front, then have Roach share a seat with Gaz.” Ghost hasn’t spoken to me much since the fight he had with Price over me during training, even if we sleep in the same room together. He always sneaks in after he thinks I’m asleep.

Price nods with a grunt of agreement. “Well, everybody pile in. We don’t have all night.” I could feel the stare in the back of my head from Ghost while I got into the front passenger seat, scooting the seat up to give the boys in the back some legroom. Price got in next to me in the driver’s seat, and instantly stared at me for no discernible reason.

He blankly stared at me with his mustache slightly twitching.

“Whuh- what? Do I have something on my face?” I lightheartedly joked while brushing my mask with my glove, eventually bringing my goggles over my eyes.

Price gave me that condescending stare with both of his brows furrowed at me. “Is the first thing you do ev’ry time yer in my truck, you mess my seats?”

I rolled my eyes at him while the boys got rowdy in the back, Price pulling out of the parking lot to get to the pub. I got off first and opened the back doors of the truck for the boys, letting them practically fight amongst themselves to get out of the truck.                                            ・┆✦ʚ★ɞ✦ ┆・

Inside the pub, it was cozy, I guess. I felt like it was a bit too rowdy with some guys watching American Football. Eugh. Why’d we have to be in America of all places?

Price hands me a dirty shirley temple with a straw in it. “Thanks, mate. I’ll pay tonight, a’ight?” I told him, but he just shook his head.

“Nah, it’s on me. You proved yourself to be a good leader so far, I’m glad.” He pats me on my back as I grab my drink and feed the straw underneath my

 mask to drink. Yet when I looked up, I noticed a dirty look from the bartender. Oh shit, I need to pull out my ID.

I give my military ID to the bartender. “Sorry, forgot to give this to you.” I even have my mask on in the photo, my identifiable mark being my mask I guess. I don’t know how I was legally allowed to keep anybody from seeing my face; I guess it was some of Price’s doing, knowing how he constantly saves the country from destruction here and there.

I got my ID back pretty soon after him staring at it. “Wow Price, naughty ain’t cha? You didn’t show the bloke my ID, eh?”

Price stared at the bartender then back to me with confusion. “I thought I did; I swear I did. I think he mighta been caught off by the mask; he was the same with Ghost.”

The acid building in my throat and my mouth salivating was the worst feeling. The thought of being compared to Ghost was the worst, just because we both have masks on and hide our faces constantly. I mean, Roach does it too, but he only ever has a surgical mask on. I just have my cat-skull print bandana, how is it that different?

Now I’m overthinking. But that bartender is definitely still staring at me like I was a criminal. Eugh.                                            ・┆✦ʚ★ɞ✦ ┆・

I sat with the boys again while they talked and reminisced about missions.

“Say, cap’n. What’s a mission you went on that you like talkin’ ‘bout?” Soap’s voice hit my eardrums like a balloon popping, my attention going straight to him as I realized what was happening.

“Eh? What?” It takes me a second of thinking to get my bearings on what was happening around me. “Oh, uh… missions. Uhm.” I tap my glass with my nails while I think. “My old squad, Taskforce 142,” I look at Price with a grin, “we had a few rodeos. We were put in Limmen; we called it Operation Down Under, ‘n people said that Task Force Boomerang was in town.” I laughed while looking up at the rest of the squad. Soap was listening intently while doodling in his leather journal, Gaz leaned in while listening, while Roach was tilting his head when listening. Ghost refused to hear or look at me, as usual.

“I thunk Price would remember this operation too. Paramilitary group with military weapons, the usual. Some cringey name like Crimson Vipers, remember?” I looked at Price laughing at the name. “There were hostages bein’ held, ‘n a few were military personnel as well. But when we dropped in, Xio accidentally landed on another soldier ‘n nearly compromised us, if she wasn’t sneaky with the takedown.” I had to think back a lot to remember what happened on that mission.

“Diaz! Get your fucken head in the game, you nearly got us compromised,” I yelled at Xiomara as she yanked her parachute down, but I couldn’t help lingering my eyes on her face a few more seconds than I should’ve. I shot up and fixed my vest and nodded towards Jackson. “Approach silently; Chen is taking care of the video systems.” I hold my M-tar in both hands.

We maneuver through the unlocked emergency exits, but there were a dozen more than I would have ever thought there were. Who the hell has the time to be in a shitty wannabe military group? I direct forward, being the first to silently take their soldiers down and into the dark. Jackson assisted me by taking down a few others whilst we covered Xio to start some controlled explosions on their vault door.

I hear the vault door popping open. I always trust Xio to do a good job at getting the vaults open fast. But, I wasn’t predicting the alarm blasting the second Jackson fully opened it. “Chen? Mind getting on that?”

“I know, Captain! Alarms going down in a few seconds, prepare for a few soldiers coming to check,” I hear Chen say over our wires while reassuring me. Chen was one of my second lieutenants, helping Diaz with her platoons whenever needed whilst I oversaw them. But now, she was the one going to save our lives.

Jackson and I take out some of the stragglers that come to investigate, the alarm turning off quickly enough and Chen’s voice coming over the intercom.

False alarm, soldiers. Return to your stations. She says to all the soldiers trying to get to us.

“Diaz, Winny, infiltrate. I will watch ahead.” I stand guard at the vault with my silencer on, watching over them. There were only a few on their rounds to grab before they talk to their walkie-talkies, fairly easy.

“ANNIE!” Yelled Xio’s voice from inside of the vault.

I turned around whilst reloading my pistol and saw Xiomara and Jackson compromised, the Crimsons’ soldiers trying to wrap tape around their mouths. After that, I kind of don’t remember anything except when we had to return months later.

I had to be in the infirmary for a few days for a few bullet grazes; Xio and Jackson were prisoners of the Crimsons. And when I returned with a whole brigade, they would never have stood a chance in a million years. I brought the weapons but when Xio saw me, she said I had “hell flames” in my eyes for how they took my best soldiers from me.

I look up from my glass to the boys all looking at me. Not Ghost, of course. “And well, we took the group down ‘n got Xio ‘n Jackson back. When we were at the extraction point, Xio handed me the laptop rigged to the explosives and told me ‘your call, captain.’ And that’s kinda what kept me in the ADF and Royal Strayan Air Force for so long.” I lean back in my chair to gauge the boys’ reactions better.

Price was proud and grinning, nodding with familiarity like when I told him the story. Soap was amazed, I could practically see stars in the man’s eyes. Gaz was intrigued, his body language being much more open than before. Then Roach was just listening intently while fidgeting with his hands.

I kinda laughed at their reactions. “Any questions?” Price raised his hand. “Yes, Price?”

He stifled a laugh before asking. “Wasn’t your callsign then Viper, Annes? Instead of fucken Trick?” Then he let it rip, knowing how much that callsign haunts me to this day.

“Shit yourself, Price.”                                            ・┆✦ʚ★ɞ✦ ┆・

We were all a few drinks in when I leaned against a pool table, playing a game of 8ball with Soap. “Soooo, bonnie, what do ya think of yer new Taskforce so far? Sure, we ain't Taskforce Boomerang, but I'd think we're close.” I laughed at his joke while looking up at him.

“Thas sweet, Johnny. You guys come quite close, y’know. Some of the best I’ve seen in action, except Ghost when listening to my instructions.” I lined up my cue stick with the white ball, not paying much attention to which ones I was hitting. I was more focused on the smile on Soap’s face.

“L.t is rough, y’know. He’ll warm up; he always does.” Soap got off the pool table and patted me on my shoulder. “I don’ see why he wouldn’t be so intrigued by the great Captain Ver, y’know. You’re an amazing leader.” I watched him line up his cue with the ball as well.

I chuckled, feeling a bit of blood rush to my face. “Oh hush with yer flattery; you just wanna try ‘n make me blush, eh?”

“Oh please, if I were tryin’, you’d be as red as a cherry tomato!” He leaned against the table while I lined my shot up, of course, missing the ball I was going for completely.

I raised a brow at Soap before chuckling. “I have no doubt, sarge. I’m sure ladies think yer a catch,” I complimented. “I know plenty o’ old ladies who would love a young guy like you flirting with them like they’re 20.”

He laughed while hitting a full red in the pocket, then lightly jabbed me with the cue stick. “Would love to meet ‘em! I’m sure they’re sweet.”                                            ・┆✦ʚ★ɞ✦ ┆・

Midnight.

God, I love midnight; it’s so gorgeous seeing everything around us. But they were all kicked out of the bar for being rowdy, except me. I sobered up a while ago because I was expecting that I was going to drive once I saw Price taking shots.

I shoved the boys into the truck slowly, Price in the passenger with the boys toppling over each other in the back. Everybody was knocked out the second they were all in the car, leaving me laughing at their dumbass sleeping faces. I got in the front seat and adjusted the seat again.

“Don’ touch muh fucken… seats…” Price mumbled in his sleep as he passed back out in a matter of seconds.

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Pendejo.”                                            ・┆✦ʚ★ɞ✦ ┆・

The drive back home was peaceful, all the boys sleeping until I hit a pothole right by the base, when all of them startled awake.

We all got to our rooms safe and sound though, which I’m glad happened. I wasn’t sure if Ghost would even get in the same truck as me when he was drunk, but somehow he was compliant when I shoved him in. I had to help him get back to our room though; he was heavier than I would’ve ever anticipated when he leaned onto me.

“I don’t need helpff… you fucken… bloody bastard.” I was shocked at him drinking himself into a stupor; he didn’t seem like the type.

“Don’t get your panties inna knot, I’m just makin’ sure yer fine.” I dropped him down onto his bed. “Just don’ fall off yer bed ‘n we’re fine.” I turned away from him to the bathroom, changing real quick and brushing my teeth.

When I got curled up into my bed all comfy and cozy, I heard Ghost’s slurred sleep mumbling.

“I fucken… hate you… Captain Ver.”

“I fucken hate you too, Lieutenant Riley.”

“Shithead.”

Fifty Four. Part 2

Taking off my gilet, it’s getting hot on this thing “you know if I swung that way I would date you” looking behind me, laughing at Lillian “thank you, that is the biggest compliment for me because I would date you too” placing it on the floor “you know bitch got money when she just placing Burberry on the floor” I chuckled, fixing my dress. It does feel weird to have my legs out, I’ve not exactly had them out over here in England, I did in Barbados but that’s home so right now I’m exposing myself but I’m confident enough now, I’ve been working on this body. Looking over at Aziel, he is looking away and then I clocked who, I mean in his mind that is his grandparents, but they are spiteful, walking over to him “come here” Neil can choke, no backbone having ass “stay with mommy” holding his hand, I am sure he will be finishing this soon. I mean it’s been fun to just annoy his family and his new girl; I think she feels self-conscious but honestly; she should because she is ugly “his last song Rylee” Wadz said “ok, just make sure he’s ok” Wadz took Aziel’ hand “have fun baby” waving at him, there is a lot of boys out there so I don’t want him falling “oh look at your baby on the big stage” Lillian rested her arm on me as we watched on “my son, he’s shy” Oakley said, the way they are screaming I just know my son is a little shy or scared “I want everyone to open up, show my son how they do it up north. It’s a big deal for me, this isn’t my hometown so I appreciate the love” moving over to look at the screen, I can’t see him from here. Oh he is just looking up at Oakley, he needs to hold him or hold his hand. The tune came on slowly, it slowly played out. Oakley patted his head and ran off, squinting my eyes as of course the last song is always the most dramatic. The fireworks went off and the crowd just screamed out the lyrics “oh he’s crying” turning around, why are men just useless “you going?” Kayson said, I mean of course I am, that is my son. Speed walking onto the stage, this is so awkward because I’m not even meant to be on this thing, his boys are just going off and just videoing themselves. My poor baby just left to cry, picking him up and he just clung to me. Never trust men with anything so I’m glad I came really, I was going to move to get off stage but then I felt someone right behind me, I froze because he pressed himself against me but then moved to the side and put his arm on my shoulder, he played it off though. Looking to the side of me and it’s Kairo, I elbowed him, and he moved laughing. I have had enough now; Kayson eventually came as I walked off. Feeling a hand on my arm, I am going to snap, turning my head and it’s Oakley, he waved me over like he didn’t want me to go off but he’s crying “Kayson” I said, I want him with me. I mean it coming to the end of the song “and again!” Oakley said on the mic, why don’t he have his girlfriend here because I am ready to go.

Aziel hasn’t once lifted his head, he is upset now. He isn’t looking at anything or anyone ��I just want to say a big thank you to everyone that came out, big things coming ahead. I’ve been overseas for so long that being in my home country I didn’t think I would feel the love anymore, but Manchester” my eyes bulged out, why is his arm around me, he has a girlfriend, he can go and hold her, I didn’t do anything “thank you, Live Yours. We out!” Thank heavens, you know when I actually go out of my way and wear heels that are actual heels, Oakley and I end up being the same height, I always wore heels that weren’t as big, but you know what, I’m doing me. I’m so glad that is over with “where we going?” Kayson asked, he hurried me off “just out of this vicinity please” my friends were waiting with my stuff “ok” Diji poked his bottom lip out “I felt so sad for him man” shaking my head, I have no words for what happened. I am so sad that my son was there just crying, it was overwhelming for him anyways “Lee, ayo” Oakley asked “tell him to go away or better yet, tell him I want to use his room” Kayson looked behind me “bro, can we use your room. For Aziel, she need to change his nappy” he lied, I just want to see if my son is ok and in peace “uh yeah, yeah. Sure. Take it” I am not in the mood for that shit, Lillian did a little run ahead to open the door for me “thank you” I said to her “we are here” this is all very Oakley, this room anyways “Kayson, close the door and come here” sitting down “yeah?” He said “you know when I went to get Aziel, you should have been there with me. I had his nasty friend pushing himself on me! You should have been there” I pointed, Kayson put his head down “I’m sorry” waving him off “next time, me and Aziel! Yeah, nobody else in that place matters” taking his ear defenders off “it’s over now baby, that’s it” placing it on the side of me, Aziel let me go and moved back “don’t be upset baby, there is no reason to be, mommy was there. Did you get scared” he nodded his head “you shouldn’t have been scared, mommy was right there, don’t ever think you was alone. You’re tired” he hugged me again “awww” my poor baby “he feared for his life but what was it about his friend? He did what?” Colin said, “he was pressing himself against me, he always there trying to make jokes, and he creeps me out but just there publicly he did that but played it off” Halle looked in disgust “point him out, call him out on it” shaking my head “it’s my fucking son, move” Oakley is here, of course “what’s happened?” Oakley asked as he walked in “nothing” I just said, “how about you couldn’t be bothered to make him feel safe on stage, he cried” Lillian spoke up “how was I supposed to know?” He defended himself “how about your skinny ass held him, but whatever” I looked at Lillian to just stop “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean too. Can I just spend time with him before you go? Just out here” I don’t want him too really “I’ll go with, Rylee you stay here” Lillian got up “you want to go with the opp?” I asked Aziel “why you say that for?” Looking at Oakley “isn’t that what you say when the person is from the opposite gang” he is pissed and I don’t care “take him then” I said, Oakley reached over to take him and his hand grazed my breast, which is genius mistake but I just looked at him and he knew it, he laughed, cheeky asshole.

I am really tired and drained, so I just want to go but here I am waiting around “bro is in love with you” looking at Diji “who is?” I am not in the mood now “your ex” letting out an oh “that white girl is not it, she is ugly. Compared to you, least you can hold your head up high knowing he never got better” I chuckled “we are back” Lillian said, looking behind me “and we need to go” she laughed “yeah we do, least you’re smiling now baby” Aziel went for his jewellery “no, that’s not yours” taking it from him, he is trying to get his dad’ jewellery “mhmmm got some tea, and they are outside so let’s go” getting up from the couch “thanks for holding my gilet” putting it on “I will take little trouble” I chuckled at Diji just picking him up because he’s busy picking up his dad’ jewellery “come here trouble” I huffed out “let’s go then” Kayson opened the door for me as I left and it’s like all eyes on me as I walked out, holding my head up high because fuck these white people, I didn’t even look at them at all I just walked off “daddy!” Aziel spat “yeah, bye son. See you soon” Lillian looked at me “Chile” she just said “why what happened?” I asked “bye!!!” Aziel screamed out “white girl did not like Oakley playing with his son, she kept pulling a face and then the mother started playing with him, Aziel just there having fun, and she goes those genes are strong, and I’m like huh, but like internally doing it then white girl goes to Oakley you coming to mine, he goes nah. Home, she goes I’ll come to yours then also clean your bathroom, it’s a mess from last time. She is looking at me at this point, I’m like right I need to go but then white girl goes you want me to come? Like a needy bitch, he said not really you know, I sniggered. Who is she kidding” rolling my eyes “then she’s trying to like hug him, he goes my son is here, move” I laughed “he’s a dickhead, good luck to her either way” I shrugged, he isn’t a good guy “I’m shocked he even came home at night because he loved to be with his friends, but hey. Least she got the better end of the home situation, I was in the ghetto” Lillian waved me off “fuck them, anyways. Is that baby sitter coming?” I laughed “you mean the Nanny, yeah she should be at the hotel” we are going out tonight so she better be there “I told her to travel early with us but she said no, she will make her way over so whatever I guess” I’m putting my mother’ ideas to use, she is a clever woman my mother.

What a long night and it’s not even over yet, the nanny is here, and Aziel is playing havoc with her but I think she got this “you keep playing g she going to whoop yo ass” she laughed “oh never, children never need a hit. Just a stern look, but he’s a sweetheart. Just a lot of sweets, too many sweets” she pointed at him “well if you need anything, or something is wrong. Call me, I won’t be drinking. Maybe a cocktail but I won’t be drunk, just call me ok. Aziel say bye to me” Aziel made his way over to me, he’s already in his robe, I got him ready for bed before anything “love you so much” leaning down kissing his cheek “be good, thank you” let me leave now, I am ready to sleep really but also I’m excited to go out, my mom is right I needed a nanny because now I can go. As I got out my friends were waiting for me “you look bomb as fuck bitch, you truly are your mother’ daughter” I chuckled “I guess, Kayson I swear you better be on your shit” I pointed “let’s just go out there and have fun, come home in one piece too, I do. My son will be looking for me too, let’s go” I am showing out, bodycon dress on too, I mean I can personally say my body is good now. Ass fatter thanks to motherhood but I mean, I ain’t complaining “are Oakley’ parents racist?” Lillian asked “both are yeah, Neil is those black people that think they white, he is so weird. I mean he has always been kind to me but she has this weird hold over him, it’s weird. They don’t even sleep in the same room either, how weird” stepping onto the elevator “mhmmm, I bet they hated he nutted in a black girl” smiling to myself “they hated I took their son, but hey. They can have him and that white girl, I am over it. I just want to have fun, a little drink here and then home” I won’t be getting drunk, I can’t because of Aziel.

Imagine that, I get invited to the soccer VIP section, I mean we had our own section but they invited us over “I am going to be truthful, I don’t know anything about soccer” I said, the boys looked at each other, Diji and Colin both look so shy, they are both excited about these but it means nothing to me “please don’t say that, please call it Football” I laughed “ok fine, so what team you play for? You all play together” I pointed “we play for Manchester, we heard you was here” rolling my eyes “now be for real I came in after, so you’re name is?” I pointed at the more confident one out of the group, he seems to be talking a lot “Reuben” pointing at the next one “Marcus” nodding my head “and the white one?” he laughed “white Jack, call me white jack. Just for you sweetheart” he winked, I laughed “how long you here for?” Reuben “erm I am going tomorrow” I just noticed this guy as his arm behind me just over the back f the seating area, I mean he isn’t being a creep I think he is just comfortable “here is me inviting you to the game, VIP too” pulling a face “are you good with your ball game then?” I asked but he just stared me out “ah shit, wow!” Jack spat “erm, I think I am” I smirked looking away from him, and just stared. Imagine that, my ex just coming to the same club “come to the game” he asked “you know what, thank you for the offer but I have to be back home” he pointed at my friends “I think your friends want you to say yes” I mean he is cute, very tall too but no “just to watch a group of men chase a ball, I will I will pass on that” Marcus sniggered “you’re brazy, like damn. I think my friend like you, he wants you to see his ball game” Marcus is trying to help him “I think he has his fan club there watching him, plenty of fish in the sea” I said, he huffed out and leaned into me “nothing as beautiful as you” I smiled “you’re a charmer, I give it to you. I have a son” I just said it “does he need a step dad” I scoffed hitting his chest “I am not even joking, like you being hard and I get it. I am not a roadman, or anything you seen or dated before, unlike others I have class. I just want you to think about it” I shrugged “then if you really serious, you can chase. Thank you for the invite” Reuben smirked looking away from me “I am willing to put in the work” getting up from the seat “going home already?” shaking my head “just using the bathroom, keep the seat warm” walking off, Halle squealed and followed me.

Halle is funny “not you getting invited to the football section just like that” I shrugged as I washed my hands “I don’t know these people, I’m going to be real with you both. They are just normal guys to me, and I’m not looking for anything, it’s funny teasing him that’s all” drying off my hands “Rylee I think he’s going to pop a vessel and won’t stop inviting you until you break” looking at myself in the mirror “yeah, there is a few guys feeling the same” Halle gasped “I saw him come in, he was looking at you badly. He has a face on like you ruined his time” popping my lips, I am glad his time is ruined “yeah well, boohoo, let’s go back” walking off and leaving the bathroom, Kayson waited outside for me “we have the Rylee Fenty-Brown in the motherfucking building, you know what that means. We got to honour the Fenty family” he started playing my mother’ song, I cheered. I mean of course he’s playing Pour it Up “all I see is signs” I sang along walking back, Kayson is moving people out to the way as I made my way back “that’s how we ball out Rylee where you at?” The DJ spat “woo” I spat waving my hands in the air “I see you baby, if you really know Rihanna then you now nothing is promised” he played the song, I was so into this that we really went the long way to go back to the seats, we went by Oakley’ section “I can’t see me losing, and I’m back!” The boys are all just smiling, the bottle girls came along to give us more drinks “excuse me” leaning over “can you do me a favour, you see where Central Cee is sitting, can you send that table water and please put on a note, you will never get another me, enjoy the show and an x” I said to her “of course” I didn’t need to say more, she was gone “Jack, how about I sit there. You sit here” I said to him, then I can see better “you paying me?” Pulling a face “he’s got the best legs on the field show her” he got up “he’s on about the third leg” rolling my eyes smiling “cheeky” he nudged me as he sat in my seat, walking over to his spot and sat down “kept it warm here” I said smiling “it’s the booty! What can I say” I mean it doesn’t take long to get water, it’s just in a bottle. The girl was already at the table with the water bottle, she passed him the note and he didn’t even read it, he just looked at me with a glare, laughing to myself because it’s funny to see.

[The following review contains MINOR SPOILERS; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!]

Japan Cuts frequently programs movies about amateur filmmakers—a niche genre that, for obvious reasons, I find extremely appealing. Thus, when the lineup for this year’s festival was announced, I immediately purchased a ticket for Kota Nakano’s Retake.

Unlike It’s a Summer Film! or Single8, this low-key, quirky mumblecore drama isn’t terribly preoccupied with the particulars of craft, the history of cinema, or the joy of the creative process; instead, it utilizes its deceptively simple premise to deconstruct the medium itself. Adopting a recursive, repeating structure (reminiscent of Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?), the narrative explores themes and conflicts that are both metafictional and metaphysical—contemplating stillness and movement, meditating on separation and reconciliation, and reflecting on the inexorable, inevitable flow of time.

Where the story truly excels, however, is in its thoroughly charming mood. Boasting a minimalistic visual style, an infectiously laid-back atmosphere, refreshingly modest stakes, captivatingly complex characters, and endearingly naturalistic performances, Retake epitomizes the indie spirit. I adored it!

Principal of pleasure part 43

The gang go to a room at the club and things start from there.

Superman x Nightwing pairing

Clark

I could feel the energy being exchanged between the four of us, As fireworks were in the air around us as I watch the boys from in front walking us to are room I would get a glance back every once in a while by both Jason and Roy.

As Dick walks beside me holding my hand looking at Jason in particular.

Jason in turn gave him a small smile every now and then.

As we reach the room Roy slips out a key from his back pant pocket and slides it into the key hole turns it and we open the door, and moves a side to let us in.

"Boys here we are it's now up to you guys to see what we should do tonight Me and Jason are at your disposal."Roy said Jason slipped out of his light jacket and placed it on a big dresser.

Dick stepped forward and still held my hands. "Jason like you said we aren't brothers right now." Dick bit his and looked at Roy. "Remove his clothes." Dick said to Jason to remove Roy's clothing.

Jason turned to Roy and started to unbutton the beige blouse slowly and their eyes met I could see fire in them as they silently gazed at each other.

Blouse now gone then Jason started on the pants and unbuckling his belt unzipping the sound of it with my super hearing was the ultimate turning point for me it sounded so seductive and it thrilled me.

Dick watched them his eyes fixated on every action they did.

Now Roy was down to his boxer. "Pull them off of him Jason." Jason looked green eyes on Dick.

As Roy's erection pops into view I smiled at that it was a nice looking cock it twitched when he knew I was looking at it.

"Roy do the same take off Jason clothes." I told him anticipation I was bouncing on my feet.

Like playing dress up or dress down.

Jason let his partner undress him as his eyes clasp on Dick I was not even jealous this was nuts, In other circumstance I would have flipped out and lost my temper and would have fled the this place I waited so long to be with Dick I thought no one would come in between that, But tonight was different it's like we are exchanging something unsaid to each other.

Jason was fully nude now and still gazing at Dick maybe I should step in to move things along.

"I want the two of you to go to bed." I told them as they listened to me and walked around the bed in the opposite direction of the bed as they mounted the bed they are too quiet for my liking.

"I like things a bit verbal boys." I told them

"Roy eat Jason ass." Dick announced as he inched one step to the bed.

Jason eyebrows shot up I guess he wasn't expecting that from Dick. "Are you top or bottom Jason." Dick said smoothing out the bed.

"I am a top but that does not mean it hasn't been done to me before." Jason said only to please Dick and I like that it's the same way I would please Dick I could never say no to him.

Roy got behind Jason as they touch Roy went around him on the bed.

Jason bent over Roy's face and leaned into his firm full ass, "Ah fuck yes Roy right there fuck yes." Licking sounds in the room vibrated to my ears like heaven opened up a flood gate of little pleasure going towards my erection.

"Dick yes I wish it was you doing it to me." Jason crooned a voice that should not come out of his mouth it made me edge closer to the bed.

And there was something I should have noticed before Jason has a tongue piercing, A big silver ball peeked out when he licked his lips.

"Do you see that Dick he has a tongue ring I wonder how it would feel on your cock." I told him I wanted him to be just as engaged as I was.

"Hmm I would love to suck you're cock Dick yes keep going Roy." As I watch them in their embrace.

"Oh yeah I love that you want that." I enjoyed watching Dick seduce Jason.

Jason hung his head low he is more bulkier than Roy in muscle, His bicep ripple and shiver as Roy continues eating his ass.

"Roy slap his ass for me." And a big pop echoed through the room making Dick shiver in delight. "Do it again for me Roy." And he did it again as Dick lightly touched himself and pulled his hand away.

"Jason you haven't stroke yourself do it I want to see jeez ooze out of that thick big cock hmm." Dick said leaning forward to see a little better hands behind his back.

Jason started stroking himself he started sweating I loved that it was making me so excited watching them do this for us.

I started undressing. "Fuck yes uh daddy decided to play Roy look see." As I undress Roy looks over from behind Jason. "Holy shit I knew he was ripped but this is insane." A dark chuckle from Dick that sounded so different and perverse it felt like a premature orgasm wanting to ooze out of me.

"Ok Roy stop eating his ass I want Roy to take Jason ass." I could hear Dick's heart beat fast as he visually took in the scene.

Jason stopped stroking himself and panted and sweated as he asked. "What position do you want us to do." Jason placed one hand on a knee. "Doggy still facing us." I got closer behind Dick fully nude as I started undressing him slowly as I watch the two of them prep them self for sex.

Jason on his hands and knees facing us and Roy behind pulling a condom out of the drawer. "No rubber go bare back." Dick told them as I relieved him from his clothes.

Roy tossed the condom aside and sighed breath as he looked away from us and pumped slowly into Jason. "Ah fuck oh my fuck you're so tight Jaybird." Jason bit his lip at his little nickname.

"You like that don't you huh him calling you that Jaybird." As Dick teased Jason. "Well I am no little bird." Jason replied his voice was pure liquid at this point.

As Roy thrust slower and I noted "You like it slow Jason." I said. "Yeah daddy I like it slow fuck yes daddy I want you to make me come." His pleasure for me electrified my insides I was short circuiting.

"Yeah big daddy fuck you must drool all the time when he fuck's you." Roy replied as he thrust inside Jason.

Dick looked at Roy a promise look on Dick's face as I bent over to look at him.

"Do you want him in you Roy." Dick asked.

"No I don't think I could ride that."

"Ride it Roy please it doe's not have to be now but in the future."

"Will see."

As Roy thrust were quicker pace Jason stroke faster. "Yummy Jason umm I want some when you come please give me your load when you come." I couldn't take it I wanted to go to the bed and take them but I wanted to see them finish, I was half hard and didn't touch myself at all just watching them it's killing me.

"Fuck yes I'll give what you need what you want."

"Fuck yes I want more."

"You want more." I told them pressing Dick closely to me.

"How about having both of us in you Jason." Dick said Jason's head snapped up from his bliss and looked straight at me. "Oh god boys I don't know." I can't believe my ears I am sure they've gone red from Dick's wants.

"Will see." Laughing in pleasure and bliss.

Dick shook his head. "Good." Well this was becoming more and more interesting.

As precum came out of Jason cock Roy climaxed in him a long low groan escaped his lips filthy words spilled out of his mouth.

Jason got up on shaky legs Dick got on his hands and knees as I stroke Dick's hair.

Jason stroke his cock a few times and spilled his seed out squirting white ribbons into Dick mouth.

"So nasty aren't you." Dick smiled as his mouth was open wide blue eyes penetrating Jason.

As he emptied himself in Dick's mouth he looked at me a strangle low needy growl escaped my mouth.

He froze and backed away I had no idea how he knew but he knew I reached my hands out to him.

He grazed my finger tips and escaped on the bed next to Roy.

"Is everyone afraid of the big bad blue." Dick chuckled darkly at them.

The two of them looked at me from the bed two souls unsure of my unknown.

Thank you for reading

[atangledfate]

She gripped the bridge of her nose at Tangle's joke as it gave her a headache. At least it wasn't a pun this time, and she would thank Gaia for that. Tangle would be lucky if she didn't break his nose when she saw him again. Of course that was just her letting her anger get the better of her. She'd be happy to know he wasn't putting anyone else at risk.

" I'd like to do more then smack him... just make sure he isn't putting anyone else at risk, and Tangle... you said it could be Mimic right? Assuming it could be... and i have doubts. You can't discount that your uncle is compromised. Be careful ok? "

The Feline fidgeted at Tangle and his ears folded back and he was looking from Tangle to Lanolin. Obviously nervous by all the fighting going on but at the mention of Bomb he looked like he saw a ghost! The last thing he wanted was that or at least it looked that way! He swallowed hard and nodded at Tangle looking more nervous then before!

" ... I would very much like to avoid explosive devices yes..."

He admitted with a nervous shift of his tail

" Oh, the Wisp just disrupted the lights... we just need some of the emergency flares or some kinda glow stick and it should avoid that trick entirely... or at least i think so..."

The feline played his part of the brainy tech geek, well it wasn't a hard solution regardless. Still he wanted to know who planted those bombs because it wasn't him. It wasn't subtle enough for him and had he planted them the Lemur wouldn't have found it. So that begged the question who? Had Clutch hired more goons to try and get rid of more restoration operatives? What ever was going on he wanted to get to the bottom of it!

" I'll talk to him but if he won't listen i'll have to use force ... but i'll try to talk him down... also just be careful we don't exactly know who is behind this yet... and until we do i think its best we approach this with caution... and Tangle, good luck "

=========Meanwhile Across the Base================

The shadowy figure leaned back on his hover bike twisting a Cigar in his fingers as he waited. The shadows hid most of his face and yet that crooked tail was hard to miss. The door slid opened and he leaned forward to eye his two accomplices. He sat up and placed his hands on the front of his bike with a wicked smile!

" Everything all Set? "

" YEPPERS! though i still don't see why we had to use those clay blocks! my babies are way more effective! "

" ... Cause i'd like to be far enough away ta' not be caught in the fuckin' blast ya mook! come on both of you... let's scram, and watch the fireworks from a safe distance..."

The big bear nodded his head, and jumped into the side car. Seemed things went over without a hitch. But the job was far from over, and they still had to reach a safe distance before the fireworks show really began!

"If it makes you feel any better I won't object to you smacking him upside the head. I think he deserves that at the least." Tangle was sure this wasn't the time for jokes, though it was a way she dealt with stress and was sure Lanolin of all people would've noticed that by now. Maybe not the best way as it can come of as though she's not taking it seriously, though she is.

"Whoa, I didn't notice ya there Duo. You sure are a quiet guy." Tangle guessed there was a lot of other things on her mind like the bomb her Uncle has and Lanolin looking ready to arrest him on the spot. This day was going insane. "I can do that. I'm assuming you wouldn't want to be around any bombs they find, right Duo?" The lemur took notice how jumpy he can be and a bomb might make him pass out.

"Knowing my Uncle he'll try to make circle back to avoid the bomb squad as they do their check so we'll go to the opposite they're checking and look there. Though it sounds like he's got some crazy Wisp to let him slip around easily so we'll have to pay close attention to everything, okay Duo?" Tangle wasn't worried about him attacking them as she was his niece and Duo had a face you just can't punch.

"Though if you find my Uncle, promise to at least try to talk him down first. I'm sure you're still steamed about what he did, though I think he thought he was being direct or something along those lines." Tangle was sure that was a big ask, though hopefully Lanolin could get some time to cool off while looking for those bombs. "Alright, let's go look for my Uncle," the lemur said pulling Duo out of the room in a hurry.

Tangle would then turn on her locator as well as set her comms to stay on without pushing it. "Got my comms on too just so you can hear things Lanolin. I'd hate to run into Mimic and not have time to tell ya." The lemur was a bit paranoid now as that was the most likely suspect of the bomb her Uncle found.
