The worst | [Worst] Wolverine/Logan X [Male Iron Man variant] Reader
Logan hates the void, but he hates it a little less after he meets a bearable Tony Stark - except you aren't exactly a Tony Stark he recognizes.
Quick Notes : I haven't actually written for Logan before, but I'm obsessed after Deadpool and Wolverine so... Here we go. I might write a part two, but I'm not sure yet.
Story Details : Deadpool & Wolverine spoilers, Reader is male but referred to with 'You/Your' pronouns, about 800 or so words, light angst, Logan drinking (obviously), cliffhanger ending.
  Logan disliked the void; he disliked it nearly as much as he disliked Wade, which was a lot. Through the entire thing - the fight in the damn honda odyssey, getting the hell away from Cassandra, even getting brought to the resistance hideout - the only thing he wanted to do was down a few bottles of booze and crash for the night. The conversation heâd had with Laura made him feel⌠odd. It was hard to explain, and Logan wasnât exactly known for being âin touchâ with his feelings. Hell, he preferred to drown them in alcohol over talking about them or even feeling them.Â
  The mutant was drawn from his thoughts (and the bottle in his hand) when the door to the resistance opened, your form entering the hideout. He felt his nose scrunch - the stranger smelled like rust and metal, an unpleasant combination. You looked up from something in your hand, glancing at Logan before giving a curt nod and moving towards the nearby table. It was then that he caught sight of a slight blue glow just peeking out from overtop your undone top buttons; an arc reactor. Logan grit his teeth, tearing his eyes away as he downed half the bottle - of course heâd have to deal with a damn Tony Stark variant, it couldnât have been that Wade was awake, it had to be him.
 A grunt from you pulled his attention back towards you, his gaze soon affixing to what was in your hand - or more accurately, on your arm. It was a repulsor gauntlet, probably part of a full suit if he had to guess, with the paint faded and scratched. With only a glance, he had a feeling youâd been here a long while.Â
  âYouâre the first Wolverine Iâve seen here,â
  Your voice cut through Logansâ thoughts, and he couldnât help the bitter scoff that left him - of course youâd know who he was. Shaking his head, he approached your spot at the table, taking a seat across from you as he watched. You were fiddling with your repulsor gauntlet, the screwdriver in your hand digging between the metal plates as you scowled. For a brief moment, he locked eyes with you. Huh. It was then that he fully took in your form - really looked - and noticed that you werenât quite the Tony Stark he was used to; you didnât even look like a Tony Stark.
  âYou gonnaâ tell me how you got here, or are you gonnaâ keep staring at me while I work?â
  Logan huffed at your question, bringing the bottle of booze to his lips as he regarded you. He didnât particularly want to talk - especially to a damn Iron Man - but he relented, the alcohol flowing through his system loosening his tongue.
  âThe jackass known as Wade got us both stuck here,â you paused at his words, arching a brow as Logan took a swig, âHe pulled me from my universe to try and save his.â
  He could tell something about his words had struck a nerve because the moment he mentioned his own universe, you all but glared down at your gauntlet, your movements with the screwdriver less controlled and precise.
  âLeast youâll get a chance to leave,â came your bitter words.
  It was now the mutantsâ turn to raise a brow, his eyes watching you - analyzing you - for any sign of what set you off. He looked away, tipping the bottle of alcohol back as the liquor slid down his throat.
  âYou been stuck here a while?â Logan found himself asking, surprising both you and himself.
  Even more surprising, you looked up from your gauntlet and nodded, your expression softening as you tossed the screwdriver onto the table and sighed,
  âBeen here longer than most. Had the TVA approach me to join the fuckinâ âsacred timelineâ or whatever, and when I turned it down - tried to warn the Avengers - they sent me here. I got every one of my mates killed.â Logan frowned, but didnât interrupt. Even to him, it was clear you didnât often talk about your past, âCassandraâs been tryinâ to get me on her side for ages now, but I refuse. Iâm a genius, not a fuckinâ lap dog for some deranged bitch.â
  That got a bark of laughter from the mutant, who shook his head in amusement; you had the signature âTony Starkâ cockiness, arrogance might have been a better word, but you seemed more down to earth than the one heâd known of back in his universe. You seemed to have a shadow following you, something hidden to everyone that kept you locket away; it was something he could relate to.
  âYou got a name they call you?â Logan asked, taking another swig from his pilfered bottle of alcohol.
  You hummed, returning your focus to your repulsor gauntlet as you picked up the screwdriver once more,  âIâm the worst Iron Man.â

Transcribed Excerpts from Christian Horner's hour long Interview that are batshit insane and so narratively dense you'd think they're lifted wholesale from a book, featuring:
The most in depth, behind the scenes view of what transpired in 2018
Fords CEO getting in touch with Dax to gush about how much he likes Daniel
Christian feeling vindictive towards Daniel
Christian comparing Sebastian and Max
Christian comparing Daniel to Roger Federer
How Christian had to mitigate Helmut's shitshow and personally asking Dietrich to give Daniel everything he wanted
Hilarious rapid fire in the end and his perspective on the failure of Ferrari
âââ <- indicates a time skip
Dax: In tennis you see guys when they lose steam, they break apart.
Christian Horner : you see that with checo.
âââ
[Dax mentions that in Christian's position, a lot of people would not have invited Daniel back into the family. "Because Daniel turned his back on the family." ]
Christian: Daniel's a great guy. Very badly advised in his early career. Everybody fucks up at some point. I think he recognizes that he made a mistake. He didn't have good advice around him at the point he left us. Having spent time outside the family he realized what he had here was actually good. It was horrible to see that it got worse and worse after us. It was actually this time last year in Mexico where I sat down with him in my hotel room, I told him you need a complete reset- take a year out. Come back to us.
Dax: He's such a win for you guys.
Christian: Totally.
Dax: you sent Daniel to Jim Farley [ CEO of Ford] and I know Jim Farley and he got in touch with me and told me "That Daniel Ricciardo guy is the greatest!" I'm like to him: he's the dream, send him anywhere.
âââ
Christian: He's [Daniel] a confidence driver, when he's got his mojo, he one of the fastest guys on the grid.
Dax: he's lethal.
Christian: yep.
Dax: he's got that magic thing that people either have or don't have in my opinion which is: there are winners and there are not winners
[you're not ready for this lol]
Christian: He came to us, he's one of our juniors, I remember going to watch him in formula 3, he really stood out. Very smooth. Just great. Naturally. Like a Roger Federer kind of style behind the wheel, very very classic. Light touch. Great, great skill. And then he came through the system [RB program] when we had Sebastian Vettel, 4 time world champion- Mark Webber retired. We chose Daniel as the Junior, with no expectation on him and he started beating Vettels ass. he won 3 races in 2014 when we had FAR from the best engine, Sebastian never won a race that year.
Dax: Even his time at Mclaren, it sucked for him but he's the only one who won a race.
Christian: He IS the only one who won a race.
Dax: and for a long time now.
Christian: and Renault he had great performances. [...] he's got to feel the love. He's got to feel comfortable in the environment that he's in. Some of his races for us were- absolutely outstanding.
âââ
[Christian about the 2018 negotiations]
Christian: I asked Dietrich to show Daniel love. Helmut was obviously pro Max, I said if you could just balance things out, let him [Daniel] know you want him. Dietrich said "no problem, I'll talk to him" so he took Daniel upstairs after the race in Austria to talk to him, and they were there for well over an hour.
Dax: To the point you were nervous?
Christian: I thought SHIT! But they reappear, and they're both smiling, I tell him: "Dietrich, how did it go?" He says,"No problem, don't worry about it. It's not even a question [that daniel would leave]"
Christian: Then we went to Germany, and his engine blew up. His engine kept letting him down, letting him down, letting him down. But from there, we went to Hungary, and we got his paperwork [Daniel's contract] for a TWO year deal all sorted out. Daniel's manager came to me and said 'listen Daniel is nervous about the engine' because we were going to switch to Honda so his manager said: 'he'll do ONE year' I thought wow. That's not really what we talked about, because in 6 months we'll be having the same conversation. So I remember I went back to Dietrich, and I said, "it's about relationships. It's NOT about contracts. If he wants a one year contract, give him a one year contract," so at this point: he's got everything he wants. Also, at that point, Daniel was doing a test for us after the Hungarian race, I thought Daniel will sign the paperwork on Monday, suddenly Monday goes and he's in the car on Tuesday. I'm starting to smell something because this is an enormous deal, you'd have thought he'd be in a rush to sign this contract. And he didn't sign the contract before he got in the car in the morning and I thought he'd sign by lunchtime but it didn't happen. He had to get out of the car and go straight to the airport because he's flying from here to LA and I thought he'll call me. I'm feeling something at this point.
Dax: you know you're about to be broken up with.
Christian: yeah.
Dax: if your girlfriend didn't show up to lunch then dinner-
Christian: exactly. So- he [daniel] rings me, I was in the car with Geri, he tells me "I just got off the plane, I arrived in LA, and I've been thinking on the flight, all the way here- I'm not going to sign the contract. I'm going to take another contract. [...] he tells me Renault? The engine that let him down for 2 years? I was convinced, I was CONVINCED- because Daniel has got a sense of humour- I thought- he's taking the piss. I thought come on. I told him: come on. There is no way. You're not going to Renault, stop fucking about, just sign the contract. After 10 minutes he finally persuaded me that he was going to Renault. It was disappointing.
Dax: I wanna applaude you, because a lot of people who go through that experience think: fuck you.
Christian: there was an element of that. I thought: go and suck on a lemon for a bit. But actually during the pandemic, I remember he called me and said "Christian I hate to say this to you but you were right"
â˘â˘â˘
Christian thinks Max > Vettel
Christian about Alex and Pierre being teammates with Max: he broke them
[Very confused in this part because Christian like? Says the best thing for Checo to perform is to forget about Max, stop trying to compete with him, stop looking at his data? Girl you are NOT selling it rn]
â˘â˘â˘
When Christian is asked to analyse Red Bull's champions, he thinks Sebastian and Max are diametrically opposed . Sebastian is your stereotypical German, he would be at the track until 11 to analyse data. Max is not interested in all the detail [devasting news for all the bitches who spent years trying to dunk on Daniel by calling him not technical, Christian seems to think that Daniel and Max share a natural ability that doesn't rely on data.] He [Max] Gives you just what he needs to go faster. Max hates testing, has no interest in it.
âââ
Christian confirms he has a lucky toilet.
âââ
Christian says in 2014-18 Red Bull came this đ¤ close to selling to Audi.
âââ
Christian: Drive to Survive is the Kardashians on wheel
âââ
Christian: You get characters like Gunther Steiner. How scary is he. He used to work for us, I had to be the one to fire him.
âââ
Christian on why he believes Ferrari have failed over the last 15 years: Ferrari is a national institution instead of a Team. It needs to become a racing team again. Too many people have input at the top.
#it like. reads like fanfic#this team is so fucked up none of this can be healthy#what makes him tick#its all very insane. Machiavellian!Christian... be very afraid.#i wish Christian didnt speak about seb like that. just be more respectful. he clearly has his favourites#f1#daniel ricciardo#Christian horner#brazilian gp 2023

all we do.
â and she canât leave me alone âcause i drive her body crazy. â
a thrilling night out leads to you in the back of an uber with some guy who may have been following you the whole night. but who cares? youâre drunk and in need of a quick one â and heâs more than willing to give you just that and a little more.
park wonbin. smut. darkish? youâre drunk and thereâs a little hesitation.
the cool night air hit your body like a wave as you clung onto some guys arm for dear life. the music from the bar stationed right behind you filling your ears each time the door was abruptly swung open. your head was spinning, breathing sloppy. you were nearly black-out drunk. a few close friends had asked you to come out with them to kick off the long weekend. you, being more than happy to go out, excepted the invite with open arms. spending a few hours to get yourself situated â though, all that hard preparation would be thrown out the window once you had one too many shots.
you had left around 10, your friends saying to meet them at the first bar by 10, making it there a quarter after. it all became a blur afterwards. thatâs how you ended up here. standing outside of some club waiting for your uber. but it wasnât necessarily your uber. it was his. but who was he? as if you knew. all you knew was that he was fine and the alcohol in your system made you feel a certain way about being so close to him. his eyes would dart down to you with every movement you made. you swayed to the side a little? heâd be watching you intensely. trying to regain your balance? heâs now watching and slipping a hand around your waist. as he steadied your body, a black honda would pull up in front of you two, honking its horn to get your attention.
it made your head jolt up, stumbling forward, the man helped you to the vehicle, slipping you into the backseat. âwhere we headed?â the driver questioned, even though he already knew. he wanted to make sure you knew. looking at the driver with droopy eyes, the guy spoke for you, mumbling out some address that definitely wasnât yours and a half-assed reason on why you canât respond at the moment.
the drive was silent and you were fumbling with your phone. finger swiping through the multitude of missed calls and texts. texts of concern, all along the lines of âwhereâd you goâ âwho was he?â before you could even think of answering, your phone abruptly turned off. in an attempt to unlock it, the low battery symbol flashed on the screen. a defended sigh slipping past your lips. the vehicle stoped harshly stopping at a red light, giving you a moment to get a good look at the man next to you. âhi.â
confused, he glanced over at you. âhello.â his voice was laced with confusion, as if he didnât expect you to actually know how to talk. there was silence from you, lips in a straight line as you thought of what to say. âwhere are we-â you were stopped as the car jerked and moved again. âwhere are we going?â you questioned, sounding more aware now. city lights flashed across your face as you awaited an answer.
âremember? you said you wanted to go somewhere a little more private.â no, you didnât. actually, you more or so said âwhat the fuck do you want.â but you donât remember that and you certainly didnât mind either. a lazy smile spreading on your face as the realization of what he meant by, private, set in. besides, it wonât hurt if you donât remember it.
humming in response , you surveyed the surroundings once more. laying your head back onto the seat of the car, a ringing filled your ears. god, maybe a chaser would have helped you in the long run. wonbin and the driver would look at you and then at each other, the driver would turn down the radio for your sake.
stopping in front of some apartment complex, wonbin was quick to pay off the driver before getting you out of the car. basically dragging you by your arm to the entrance. god, he had been waiting so long to get you alone. watching as you danced through the crowds of people, naively asking for something stronger each time youâre feet would stumble over to the bar.
finding it insulting when you rudely told him to fuck off when he did as much as attempt to talk to you. but he let it slide since you were still somewhat sober and couldnât necessarily see him. but once he noticed that cutesy little slur in your words and how your fingers meekly pulled at the hem of your dress, he was sure he could get to you. managing to get you alone, persuade you into going with him. and thatâs how youâre here. standing behind the man as he fumbled with his house keys. the fluorescent lights of the hall making your head spin.
pushing the door open, wonbin doesnât give you even a moment to take in your surroundings. lips quickly colliding with yours, his hands groping and touching whatever he could. causing you to yelp in shock, giving him the opportunity to slide his tongue into your agape mouth. his movements were quick, not giving you a single moment to do as much as breathe. your nails found security in his arms, digging into the flesh forming crescents in their wake.
he wouldnât let up until he couldnât breathe, finally pulling his face away to catch a glimpse at yours. lips parted, pupils dilated and hands still clawing at his biceps. a dazed expression took over your features and oh did he love it. lowering his head, wonbin was just a few centimeters from your ear. âloosen your grip.â your hands almost instantly falling to your sides, wonbin grasped your wrist. again, dragging you like a ragdoll into the next stop.
his room.
pushing you onto the comforter, it would be a lie to say that he wasnât getting slightly impatient the more time went on. besides, he wasnât one for prep anyway. a few kisses were good enough to get him ready for a quick pump and dump.
when your body sunk into the mattress, adding his weight into the equation â there was basically a dip at the edge. your legs dangled over the mattress, his hands working to pull the dress that you dawned, up your thighs and bunched up at your waist. âwait..â hands bolting towards his, your fingers stopped his from pulling off your panties. his gaze flickered up to meet yours â an annoyed huff leaving his mouth. the man rolled his eyes before smacking your hands away. âi donât have all night.â yanking off the fabric, wonbin didnât do as much as spare your face another glance. working to get his pants down, your body just barely in his peripheral vision.
the cold air of his room hit his now exposed dick, sending a shiver down his spine. gripping onto the fat of your leg, he slung the limb over his shoulder â desire quickly taking over his body. slipping his cock between your folds before forcing himself inside. his groaning paired with your moans mixed and bounced off the walls. clutching onto your ankle, he raised your leg into the air. his other hand finding a place on your hips. the sound of heavy breathing and skin slapping together filled any empty space in the air.
with your drunken state and this overstimulating feeling already building in between your legs, your body subconsciously started to move away from his grip. âcanât take it!â your hands reached out for whatever you could cling onto. your body was quickly pushed back onto his cock. looking up at him, you were met with a nasty glare. âstop fucking running and take it.â as each of his words rolled off his tongue, they were being backed up by a harsh snap of his hips. a mind numbing sensation running through your body â followed by you spewing out a string of sorrysâ.
rutting into your womb, his once brutal pace was faltering. and before either of you knew it, he stilled â balls deep, the males body grew weak while emptying all he had inside of you. and we all know youâre a little dumb and just so happened to forget to take the pill tonight.
better pray itâll work if you take it after the fact.
pulling out, wonbin quickly cleaned himself up. looking at the mess of his bed. breathing heavy, the ache in between your legs intensified. âi didnât get to-â a slap on your thigh quickly shut you up.
âyeah i know, now hurry up and get your shit. your Uberâs outside.â
me when i get carried away and make wonbin a little meaner than intended. guys, i have a problem! born to be a pillow princess that has rough fantasies?? but i hope you guys enjoyed and i hope i can find the same amount of motivation to right a soft fic like how i write these. but happy late wonbin day.

Sometimes Things Just Click
Uber Driver! Amanda x Angela
Angela, who's getting herself back into the dating world, has a chance encounter with her Uber driver, Amanda. After her date doesn't go as planned she finds herself enjoying Amanda's company.
Tags: Alternate Universe, Gay Disaster! Angela Giarratana, Mentioned Original Character, Light Banter
Disclaimer: This is not meant to be a representation of those in Smosh, rather a fan made perspective on the characters they portray online. Remain respectful.
Word count: 3,638
Angela clicked on the Uber app for what seemed like the hundredth time in the past five minutes. She watched as the small car on her phone slowly followed the route to her apartment. She shifted from one foot to another, glancing at the sign that displayed âCirca Luxury Apartments'' in big bold navy blue letters. She looked back down at her phone, noticing her Uber driver was a mile away.
The blue dot on the phone is a bit off on the agreed meeting spot. She wasnât used to using Uber, having only used it for today because her date had told her the restaurant was known for their alcoholic drinks. Plus, if Angela was going to be stepping back into the dating world after a few years she'd most likely need a few drinks in her system. Without them she could only imagine at some point her nerves would get the best of her in some way.Â
Especially given the fact her and her date weren't exactly entirely into each other just yet. It was mainly a thing both were down to try and see what happens. Though Angela could do without the restaurant being a bit far away.Â
Angela's phone sprung to life, a loud and familiar ringtone being heard. She haphazardly lowered the volume of her ringtone, accepting the call as she stepped farther out the sidewalk.
"Hey, Angela?" A pleasant and friendly sounding voice asked.Â
"Uh, yeah," Angela replied. She looked at the Uber driver's name, briefly thankful for a common name she wouldn't accidentally butcher. "Amanda, right?"
"Yeah," she paused. Angela could hear the wind in the background as Amanda drove. "Just checking, are you in the parking lot or near the front sign?"Â
"Front sign."Â
"Cool," she said. "I'll be there in a second, once this light turns green." Before Angela could reply and thank her the call ended.
She shifted from one foot to another, the nerves regarding her date starting to rise up on her. With every passing second she was getting closer and closer to the date itself and she couldn't help but be nervous. She had only talked to her tinder date for almost 3 weeks, albeit there weren't many texts in the first place. Past memories of various crime documentaries she watched that all started with online dating rushed through her mind, making Angela anxiously tap her foot. Angela knew the basics about her and they had called way more than they texted. Maybe, she shouldn't have listened to Chanse's advice and put herself out there. She had always preferred meeting someone in real life anyway, starting as friends and seeing how something goes from there.
The sight of a silver honda brought her out of her thoughts as her Uber driver pulled up on the side of the road. She could see her from the window, her Uber driver evidently very pretty. Angela glanced at the front seat, momentarily, noticing a small bag resting there. She walked towards the back, opening the door and immediately noticing how clean the car was. It was definitely cleaner, and smelt nicer than her own car.
Amanda turned, glancing at Angela and smiled. "You got a date?" She asked as she put her car out of park, and Angela put on her seatbelt. "The dress is nice. You look pretty."Â
Angela gulped, ignoring the part of her brain that was reeling over the fact her Uber driver looked effortlessly gorgeous without even trying. "Yeah, thanks," she said, pausing as she made an effort to continue the conversation. It'd be nice to talk to someone anyway, perhaps it'd help her get over her nerves before her date. "It's honestly my first date in like forever. I don't really try out online dating much but my friend told me I should put myself out there."Â
"Oh, this is a first date," Amanda mused, as she made a u-turn. "Well you definitely dressed for it. What made you get back into dating? If you don't mind me asking of course." She quickly added as an afterthought.
"I've been single for too long," Angela mumbled just loud enough for Amanda to hear. "I took a pause on dating in the first place to focus on acting."Â
Angela sighed as the words left her mouth, a part of her scared at the reaction. From her experience it either ranged from apprehension at a career that didn't promise much, or shock that she was going into the field in the first place. For people who knew her it was easier since they knew what she was like.
Amanda lightly chuckled. "What a small world," she said. "I'm doing acting too. I actually had an audition a few hours ago."
In an instant, as if a switch was flipped Angela visibly brightened smiling as she leaned closer. "How did it go?" She asked excitedly.Â
"I'm onto the next stage," Amanda grinned. "I think it's me up against like fifteen other girls."
"Good luck," Angela smiled. "I hope you get the part."Â
"Thank you," she said. "I'm looking forward to a more proper role. I've mainly just been doing commercials nowadays."Â
"Hey, still something." Angela commented. She looked out the window, watching as they stopped once again due to the traffic. Maybe she should've gone out earlier to catch an Uber ride. "So, do you just work as an Uber driver or is there another side hustle you have going on?"Â
"Bartending. I mainly just do this on the side when I don't have a shift."
Somehow, she found that hot. Angela wasn't sure if her date was making her have a lot more borderline-lewd thoughts or if she genuinely just thought this.
Bringing Angela back to reality, Amanda spoke again. Her car started up again as she continued driving. "Hey, what time is your date? I hope you're not late." Her eyes briefly glanced over to her car's console, the time displayed in a blue glow. "It's almost 6:30. God, I'd hate for you to miss your date. Especially, when it's your first time back in the dating world.â
Angela smiled at her concern. It felt nice to have even a stranger care for something pertaining to her life. "Yeah, my date starts at 6:30." She pulled out her phone, turning on her data, as she pulled up the most recent text conversation. Like the others it was short and brief, always showing a past call instead. "It's okay, I'll just text her that I'm going to be a bit late. I should be fine."
The fact she said 'her' completely slipped Angela's mind, the sentence coming out almost naturally. It wasn't as if Angela was closeted, rather she just never went out of her way to tell people. She always preferred to keep that part of her life private, and have that part of her more open to her closest friends.
A second of silence passed between the two. "If you say so," Amanda commented. "We have about 5 minutes left, so you shouldn't be too late. Oh! Real quick, I've been to that restaurant before, you want some recommendations?"Â
"Yeah sure," Angela shrugged. "I've never been to Mastro's Ocean Club anyway."Â
"Try the Japanese Wagyu steak if you can," she briefly glanced at Angela, winking. "You won't regret it."Â
Angela gulped. "Got it. I'll see once I see the rest of the menu."
A nice and natural conversation followed, soothing Angela's pre-date nerves with everything Amanda said. She felt easy to talk to, though conversation topics didn't come easily since they were strangers, it still felt natural. It felt nice. Though she hadn't been on many Uber rides, it always seemed extremely easy for the rest of the ride to be followed in silence until she reached her destination.Â
With a smooth stop Amanda pulled up to the restaurant, Angela not even realising she had arrived until the car fully stopped. "Finally here." Amanda said, her voice almost a pitch louder. "Christ, traffic was a bitch today."Â
Angela double checked her small bag, before exiting the car, as she waved Amanda off. She saw as Amanda smiled, pausing before she rolled down her car's window. "Enjoy your date, Angela." Amanda smiled. "It was nice meeting you.â
Angela turned, to meet Amanda's gaze. "You too. Thanks for the ride."Â
As she drove off a small part of her couldn't help but think about Amanda. She would've been a nice friend to have, she thought offhandedly. As the thought crossed her mind she sighed, burying the fleeting thought. She was just an Uber driver who was making conversation. That was it. She had a date to focus on anyway.Â
Angela entered the restaurant, she let out a shaky breath. Her hand fished into her pocket, frowning as she was left on read. She groaned, glancing past the front desk, attempting to spot her date.Â
She stepped to the side, away from the line of people waiting at the front desk, and called her date.Â
âOh, hey,â she said. âSorry I forgot to tell you earlier. Are you at the restaurant?âÂ
âYeah,â Angela paused. âGwen, where are you?âÂ
âSorry, uh I actually meant to cancel our date,â Gwen said as she stumbled over her words, seeming incredibly awkward at that moment.Â
âWhat?â Angela repeated incredulously. âI'm literally at the restaurant. Could you not have told me this before?â
âI got distracted.â
Angela pressed further, ignoring the couple that looked at her weirdly. âBy what? What in the world distracted you long enough that you couldn't even text me a few simple words?â Angela sighed, determined to remain calm in that moment. âYou even left me on read when I told you I'd be showing up a bit late to the restaurant.âÂ
âYou know I'm bad at texting,â Gwen sighed. âThat's literally why we had a date in the first place, is it not?âÂ
âThat doesn't matter,â Angela argued. âYou still could've called me.âÂ
âFine, I'm sorry, you're right,â she said. âI'm just going to be honest with you.â Angela hummed lowly, telling Gwen to continue. âThere was this other girl I was chatting with. She was the one I was more interested in and she was suddenly available today.â
Before Gwen could even continue explaining herself Angela hung up. She sighed, running a hand through her hair as she resisted the urge to just scream. She looked ahead at the restaurant, noticing she was the last one waiting to be seated.
âMight as well get a meal out of this shitty development,â Angela mumbled to herself, approaching the front desk and forcing herself to smile as she spoke.Â
As the words left the worker's mouth Angela was so close to just calling Chanse and rant to him.Â
âI'm so sorry, Gwen called earlier to cancel her reservation. We can squeeze you in tomorrow at nine, if you're interested.âÂ
She thanked the worker with a strained smile, bolting out of the restaurant right after. All she wanted to do was go home. Rather than being mad that she never got to go out on a date with her, she was more so annoyed by her actions. Sure, a part of Angela definitely liked talking to the girl, given the many times they called. Yet all of that feeling seemed to disappear over the anger she felt. The wasted effort in putting on makeup and finding a fancy dress, combined with the now wasted money on Uber rides was a lot testing her.Â
She pulled out her phone, ordering another Uber ride, and waited. She watched as the order processed, and a few seconds passed as she got connected to the driver.Â
âMeet the driver at Mastro's Ocean Clubâ
Right under the pickup screen was the name Amanda. A familiar profile picture of her smiling right next to her name. Realistically, Angela should've seen this coming. Of course she'd be the one closest to the restaurant. She had dropped her off not even ten minutes ago.
All Angela could do was wait and watch as the time slowly changed, giving an estimate on how long it'd be until she arrived. Angela wasn't sure how she felt about it, suddenly very unsure. A part of her wanted a different Uber driver who'd just drop her off and it'd be all over with. Whilst the other part of her wondered what'd it be like to talk to her. They had definitely gotten along to some extent.Â
It didn't take long for the familiar silver car to pull up by the restaurant. Just before Angela could move herself to the backseat, Amanda rolled down her window, patting at the passenger seat right next to her.
"Hey, Angela," Amanda sadly smiled, as Angela buckled herself in. She hesitated over her words, pausing as she found the right words to say. "So what happened to your date?â She asked. Angela couldn't help herself but look away from Amanda, watching as the car started to move. "Fuck, we're you too late? I didn't think seven minutes would matter that much." Amanda said her words slightly rushed.Â
"No," Angela sighed. She wasn't sure what it was, but she felt comfortable talking to Amanda. She leaned her head back against the chair, letting herself dully list off the events. "When I called her and told her that I'm at the restaurant, she apparently forgot to tell me that she's cancelling our date,â Angela explained, her tone showing how annoyed she was. "Then when I tried to just eat by myself, because you know, at least I'll get a meal, turns out she cancelled her reservation earlier and just never told me."Â
Amandaâs face scrunched up in confusion. "What the hell?! Who does that?" She ranted. âIt's too bad you couldn't even get a meal out of it, geez.â Amanda continued.Â
âI don't know,â Angela shrugged. âI just wish I was told before I got all dressed up.â
âWell, at the end of the day, it's her loss,â Amanda smiled. She paused as she waited to take a turn, as if she was trying to find the right words. âYou look like a tall glass of wine in that dress, and she doesn't deserve to even see you in that."
Angela's eyes widened, and swore her face would appear red for Amanda to see had it not been dark. She really needed to get used to compliments.Â
As Angela glanced over at Amanda, she watched as she tapped her fingers against her steering wheel. "You know,â she said, continuing what she said before. âEven though you're not that tall.â She glanced over at Angela giving her a small smile. She couldn't help but return it despite Amandaâs jab. She was trying to make her feel better.Â
Amanda's mouth opened, just about to take back the teasing jab with a rushed âjust kidding,â but Angela interrupted her, chuckling.Â
âThat's not fair!â Angela started. âI'm literally average height, a lot of people just happen to be taller than me." She continued, smiling wider as Amanda seemed to brighten at the starting banter. "Also, how'd you know that you'd tower over me? I know I appear short next to your car, but still.âÂ
Amanda laughed. âFirst of all, never called you short,â she continued. âAlso I'm around six feet.âÂ
Angela had a feeling she'd be tall anyway given how far back her chair was compared to the passenger seat, but she definitely didn't think she'd be that tall. For a second Angela was left speechless, with a huge part of her reeling over how tall she was. That definitely made her more attractive in her books.Â
âThat does not matter at all,â Angela said, despite her previous thoughts.Â
"How come?" Amanda said, chuckling underneath her breath. The sound itself made Angela want to hear it again. It was short, and she had heard it before in their earlier conversation, but it'd be nice just to hear her laugh again.Â
Angela paused as her brain worked a mile a minute to think of a comeback. "Tall people die faster!" She came up with, immediately regretting it due to how stupid that sounded.Â
"What?" Amanda said in-between a laugh, making Angela lean over in her seat with a smile. "Is that even true?"Â
"I don't know! But if it is, it's targeting you and my stupid supposed-to-be date."Â
Amanda could only smile, rolling her eyes, as she continued to focus on the road. "You're not going on another date with her, right?" She asked, changing the subject after a comfortable moment of silence."Because everything she did is some kind of red flag."Â
"Oh hell no." Angela immediately answered. "Especially, not once she told me the reason she cancelled was because her first choice was available or something.âÂ
"What the hell?!" Amanda asked for the second time throughout the car ride. "Hey, let's take a detour and go to her house and kick her ass.â She joked, making Angela chortle.Â
Amanda's tone straightened out as she fixed her posture. Another moment of silence took over them but never was it tense nor awkward to her.Â
"In all seriousness though, are you okay?" Amanda hesitantly spoke. One of her hands reached out towards Angela's hand that was resting on the seat. She squeezed it briefly, the touch itself comforting, before darting it back to the wheel. "I'm sorry your date sucked."Â
Angela wasn't even that upset about it anymore. "I'm actually doing a lot better than I was before," she honestly spoke. "You made me feel better. Thank you."
"I'm glad I was able to,â she said. "Or else this Uber ride would be a lot different."
As Amanda continued to drive Angela back to her apartment, they comfortably talked about anything. The onsurge of traffic in certain areas allowed them to talk for longer. Whether it be the types of roles they took on recently, or their other hobbies and interests. It felt nice talking to her. They even had shows they both watched which made the conversation flow easier. They talked as if they knew each other for way longer than what was roughly an hour.Â
As they slowly started to approach Angela's apartment complex, now being within the neighborhood, Angela didn't want this moment to end. She opened her mouth, changing the subject as she saw the building in the distance.Â
"Honestly, I think I'd end up having more fun talking to you than I ever would've on that date," Angela suddenly confessed. "We just ended up going on one anyway to see if there'd be more chemistry in real life. Overall, I don't regret how this night went at all.â
Amanda didn't say anything for one second then another. Her hands gripped at her steering wheel. "Well,â she bit her lip. âDo you think there's chemistry here?"Â
Angela choked on her own spit as she processed her words. In hindsight she could definitely see how what she said could be interpreted as something. Even though Angela genuinely just meant it as being friendly, even if her heart didn't share the same sentiment. "Are you hitting on me?"Â
"If you want me to,â Amanda quickly replied. "If you're not ready for anything after your whole failed date thing, I totally get it. Don't worry about it.â
"I don't look this good without the makeup and dress on." Angela said, as if she was warning Amanda, still in disbelief over everything.Â
"I don't care,â Amanda chuckles. She parks her car, making Angela realise they had arrived. "You'd end up looking adorable either way."
Angela smiles. She takes off her seatbelt, but remains seated, not leaving the car just yet. "Do you flirt with all of your passengers?" She asked, jokingly.Â
"Nope.â
"Then what made you so interested in me?â
"You literally made my night Angela,â Amanda admitted. "Sure our first ride was a bit awkward, but that was literally the most genuine conversation I'll ever get out of an Uber ride. I had fun talking to you and getting to know you. I don't want this to just end here.Â
"Yeah, me too." Angela breathed out with an infectious grin. She ignored the way her heart beat against her chest, the feeling of butterflies in her stomach she hadn't felt in so long returning. All she wanted to do was soak herself in this moment.Â
"So, how do you feel about a date?â Amanda asked, not once breaking eye contact. âI can even drive you. Free of charge.â
"Ohh a free Uber ride, how romantic," Angela joked, rolling her eyes. "How can I possibly say no to that?âÂ
She smiles, pulling out her phone from her pocket and hands it to Angela. "Put in your number, and I'll text you."Â
âI look forward to it.âÂ
-
"Angela,â Chanse started, as soon as the call connected. "You can't just text me âmy date went terribly, I'm so happyâ and expect me to connect the dots.âÂ
"My date pulled a dick move, okay? Like, obviously, I cared for her, and was willing to try it all out to see if weâd click, but after everything Iâm just taking it as a warning sign.â Angela answers. She looks at herself in the mirror, taking off her makeup as she spoke. âBut I got a date with someone else, anyway, so it doesn't bother me that much anymore.
"Well, damn, you moved on fast,â he commented. "What the heck happened?"Â
"I hit it off with my Uber driver,â Angela shrugged, as if that was the most normal and natural thing.Â
"What?" He asked in disbelief. "Angela, what? Your Uber driver? How? Why?âÂ
Angela could only explain the whole thing to him from the beginning, which of course only prompted even more questions from her best friend.Â

Modern! Hantengu Brothers in: What car would they have.
Heyyyy!!! So Iâve had this sitting in my drafts for quite a while so I just decided to just go on ahead and complete it! Hope yâall like it!
Sekido: Car #1: BMW M8/ Car#2: Kia Stinger
⢠Okay so hear me out. Mans has TWO cars.
⢠He regularly drives his Kia around to and from work & when he feels like it, heâll bust out the Beemer (probably to race his brothers if they rile him up enough or some shit)
⢠He makes his own maintenance to both his cars. (Such as upgrades on the sound system, designs, window tint, oil changes, tire replacements, all that jazz) He takes pride in making sure his rides are well taken care of.
⢠He is definitely one of the more responsible drivers out of the four. (Unless Karaku & Urogi get on his nerves enough to make him race)
⢠Has red and black interior in BOTH of his cars. (I mean because what is Sekido without the color RED)
⢠Has a Black Ice scented freshener in his cars.
Karaku: Dodge Charger Hellcat SRT
⢠Come on yâall.. this is Karaku weâre talking about. Of course he has a fast muscle car & YES itâs loud green!
⢠Like Sekido, Karaku takes pride in keeping his car in great condition with everything it needs when it needs it.
⢠He gets MANY compliments on his car from literally EVERYONE. One time a kid caught him walking back to his car and he literally talked Karakuâs ear off about how cool his car was and how he wanted one just like it when he got older.
⢠Yes, Heâs one of those guys that will see someone in the next lane at a stop light and starts wanting to race them. Again, this is Karaku weâre talking about here. đ
⢠Will be the ringleader in challenging Sekidoâs BMW to a race. One time, he made Sekido so annoyed he took him up on the offer only for Karaku to lose. He was still wanting to race again afterwards. (Heâs a persistent one)
⢠His interior is matte black inside and his steering wheel cover is lime green like his car.
⢠Karaku definitely likes a fruity smell in his car so Iâd see him with a pineapple or strawberry scent in his car.
Aizetsu: Honda Civic Sport (Two door)
⢠Definitely has a Honda because they are very reliable, long lasting cars. (Wise choice man, wise choice)
⢠Takes great care of his car & itâs always in perfect condition. He pretty much has to upkeep his cars condition because his part time job requires him to travel.
⢠Has amazing driving skills and is one of the better/ responsible drivers out of the four brothers. (Mans can literally parallel park in his sleep đđ)
⢠Has blacked out rims on his car gifted to him by Karaku for his birthday.
⢠Urogi and Karaku try to get Aizetsu to race but he declines everytime.
⢠His interior is solid black and he has a blue and black steering wheel cover. He has a ocean scent freshener in his car and has both a Nigerian and Japanese flag hanging on his rear view mirror.
Urogi: Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
⢠*sigh* There are responsible drivers, and there are irresponsible drivers, then thereâs UROGI. đĽ˛
⢠Seriously, he doesnât know what a speed limit is & the fact that he has one of the fastest cars doesnât make it better đ¤Śđžââď¸.
⢠Heâs another one of those guys that wonât hesitate to race someone at a stop light (because of course he does) He leaves them in the dust every time though.
⢠Despite being a moderately reckless driver, Urogi does keep his car in very good condition and is on time with any maintenance.
⢠Him and Karaku loveeeee teasing their brothers to get them to race with them on the weekends. They see it as a âbonding experienceâ and Urogi especially gets a thrill out of it. He has the most fun with teasing Sekido because he knows it gets on his nerves.
⢠Mans has definitely gotten stopped by the police once or twice but that still hasnât stopped him. đđđ
⢠His interior is gold and black and he has a gold steering wheel cover. He has a pine scented freshener in his car because it makes him think of being in the nature (He loves nature/ outdoors) so thatâs natural for him.
I Hope ya enjoyed my silly lil car headcanons! I will be uploading my main headcanons soon! I had to make some revisions but itâs still coming but this is to hold you over!
I Tag: @i-karaku-swear-i-dont-smoke-weed @ch3rriiii-bunn @doesfairieshavetails @doumaverse

Call me old school but "modern" cars are way too overkill.
My car (a used 2010 Honda accord) was totalled and I'm currently renting a 2018 Ford edge from my insurance company while I find a new vehicle.
Now driving this thing feels like driving a damn spaceship or the DeLorean from Back to the Future. There's just so many damn buttons, dials, lights, and just fluff in the dash and center console it's straight up hard to drive. On closer inspection, at least 5 buttons control the light above the driver and passenger's head.
Like what is all this??? Why do we need this many buttons???
And the stick for changing gears? It's that little dial in the second photo. You swivel it to change whether you're in park, reverse, drive, etc. I feel like it's gonna just randomly pop into a different gear while I'm driving!
And why the touch screen?? We don't need a massive ipad embedded in the console! Touch screens are not safe to drive with! I almost got in another accident trying to turn down the AC because I have no tactile feedback in the controls!
By old car was built like this:
Most of those buttons were for the radio. Dials for the AC and how to direct it, and those dials clicked when you moved them so you could tell how far they'd moved. The stick shift clunked when you moved it so you could tell how many times it had been moved and you felt it lock into place. Only a couple buttons on the steering wheel, three for cruise control, three for the audio system. And even this was the most buttons I had to learn ever! I'd argue some of the 'features' in that car were kinda useless and needless to have and just took up space!
Maybe I'm just crotchety and old (I'm 24 lol) but we don't need all this shit in cars! It's straight up distracting and unnecessary. It's a car. It gets you from point A to point B. I don't think you'd ever catch my driving a car any newer than like 2014.
#cars#trucks#automobile#ford#honda#new cars are so fucking stupid#also a lot of them are just ugly#but thats besides the point#listen#technology is cool and we are experiencing evolution around us every day#but this aint it#also TAKE THE FUCKING LEDS OUT OF HEADLIGHTS I SWEAR TO GOD#THEYRE SO BRIGHT YOU CANT FUCKING SEE ANYTHING

Trying to Get Pregnant (Andrew DeLuca x Alex Karevâs Sister)
Previous Part Here
Age Rating: 12+
Chapters: Two of Five
Fandom: Greyâs Anatomy/Station 19
Ship: Andrew DeLuca x Amber Karev (Alex Karevâs Sister)
Canon Episode: Season 18 Episode 17/Season 5 Episode 17
Summary: Amber volunteers at the station while Andrew helps Link with his patient.
AN: The GIF above is Amber's outfit for the Station 19 clinic
Words: 2075
February 18th, 2022
Andrew pulls the silver Honda Civic out in front of station 19 to drop off Amber who is looking at the statistics concerning clinics for low income or homeless communities in Seattle that aggravate her.
âYou know there are only 30 free clinics in Seattle? And most of them arenât actually free? In a city where homelessness has increased by over five percent since covid started there are still doctors who prefer patients with money instead of taking the time to treat those who fell under the cracks of this broken system. If you subtract the ones that demand insurance there are only 10 clinics that treat patients no questions asked.â
âAnd now there are 11 with the Station 19 clinic.â Andrew points out, âItâs baby steps babe.â
âI know.â Amber puts her phone away in her purse, âI just hope our kid doesnât grow up in a world where people have to choose bankruptcy or death.â
âMe too. Hopefully your stubbornness and ambition will scare the world into buckling down.â Andrew leans over and starts to kiss Amber who responds. He opens his eyes and sees Jo Karev standing on the sidewalk in her casual clothes and lab coat by the front door looking impatiently at them. He regretfully pulls back, âYou better go, Jo is waiting.â
Amber frowns and groans as she looks behind her to see Jo raising an eyebrow at her from her spot by the front entrance. She shrugs and turns back to her husband, âWell that just makes me want to keep going.â She kisses Andrew again, who is pleased.
âMm.â He speaks against her lips, âYouâre such a rebel.â They both chuckle as they kiss before Amber pulls back to her disdain as she knows work is waiting.
She groans with a smile at her husband before getting out of the car, âI love you, have a nice day.â
âYou too, Iâll see you tonight.â
âYou better.â Amber says in a low breath before closing the door and waving at her husband as he drives away. She goes up the steps of the sidewalk and greets her sister-in-law who has a grin, âGood morning.â
âIt looks like it is for you.â Jo teases at Amber who shrugs unashamed before Jo motions to the door, âShall we Dr. DeLuca?â
Amber nods eagerly, âLetâs save some lives.â
Later
Andrew is in his navy-blue scrubs and lab coat guiding a paramedic inside as he wheels a patient inside the pit. Link enters the pit surprised to find his friend there.
âTake her to trauma one, thanks.â Andrew tells the paramedic before going over the tablet.
âBaileyâs got you covering the pit too?â
Andrew shakes his head, âNo Jo was supposed to but to prevent one of my in-lawâs from having a nervous breakdown I offered to lessen her load. She and Amber and Carina are at the stationâs clinic.â Andrew goes behind the station to input the chart, âHey I want to ask you something, what restaurants do you recommend for a romantic date night?â
Link raises an eyebrow, âSeriously?â
Andrew is busy with the chart to look at the sour look on Linkâs face, âYeah Iâm taking Amber out tonight, sheâs at the station volunteering and I wanted to do something special for us.â
âDude I am the very last person you want to ask about romance.â Link tells him bitterly, âDid you page me for this?â
Andrew raises an eyebrow offended, âNo. Bed four and if you can help it try not to dim the lights around him.â He hands Link the tablet and walks toward the patient, âPatient came in with abdominal pain and vomiting. The wife says he's your patient.â
Kristen sees Link and stands up, âDr. Lincoln.â
Link hugs Kristen and hears Helm recite his chart while DeLuca is busy with the patient in the next bed listening in, âSimon Clark, 38, status post synovial sarcoma resection four years ago, has been undergoing chemoradiation for recurrent lung mets.â
âWe got this one, Helm.â The resident leaves them and Link speaks to Simon, âThought I told you to take it easy.â
âMm, so no 5k next month?â Simon jokes despite his state.
Kristen explains, âThis morning I found him in the nursery barely able to breathe. He's nauseous, can't eat. I think it's his chemo, but he was adamant about trying to finish putting together the crib.â
âWould you let your mother-in-law build your kid's crib? I'm supposed to build the crib.â Andrew grins at that sharing the feeling already even when Amber isnât pregnant yet.
âIt's your job to stay alive, Simon.â Kristen tells him, âThat's your job.â
Link decides the plan, âOkay, we'll get you some scans, we'll see what's going on, and we'll make you comfortable while we admit you. And no one will build any more furniture. Deal?â
âDeal.â Kristen demands and Simon relents.
âDeal.â
Link goes to Andrew and quietly asks, âI could use a general consult to see whatâs causing the abdominal pain, are you free?â
âYeah. Iâll get Hunt to cover my service.â Andrew pages Hunt and follows Link to radiology where they scan Simon. 10 minutes later they walk down the hall to see the scans in the screening room and Link explains Simonâs story to Andrew.
âFour years ago, he came in as a newlywed with stage two synovial sarcoma of the knee. And we tried every treatment possible while they tried to start a family. But between the chemo, radiation, and surgery, it took them until eight months ago to conceive.â Andrew feels bad for Simon knowing the feeling of wanting to be a dad but not the struggle that comes from his condition, âHe made me promise he'd be here long enough to meet his kid.â
They enter the screening room and wait for the images to show up, âOkay well the symptoms could be chemo related.â
âI hope so.â Link says before adding, âListen man Iâm sorry for how I snapped at you earlier. I guess Iâm still bitter over how everything went down with Amelia and you planning a romantic date with your gorgeous wife kind of brought that back. I can give you some lists if you want.â Â
âItâs fine, Amber isnât fancy I could lay out hamburgers on fine China and sheâd think it was high class.â
Link grins, âYou know you married someone way out of your league, right?â
âOh, trust me I know.â Andrew agrees with a grin before the scans come up, cutting the moment short as it shows bad news.
Link looks at the scans sad, âCrap.â
Andrew looks at the scans closely, âMass in the ileum, itâs almost obstructing his small bowel. Iâm sorry.â
Link sighs at the diagnosis, âHow am I gonna tell him it's progressing even faster?â
âWe just do it.â
Link looks surprised by him using âweâ, âItâs my patient.â
âWho has a mass in his small intestine which I am trained to operate on.â
Link gets worried due to his friend being a second year attending who barely did surgeries his first year due to covid, âHave you done this before? Solo?â
âYeah, the one good thing about the backlogs is that you get to operate on anything in a short span of time. I can try to resect the tumor at the bowel segment, buy him some more time. You can scrub in; youâve operated on him before and if this goes sideways you can step in.â
Link nods, âYeah, letâs go.â Link and DeLuca exit the room to lay out their plan to Simon.
Later at Station 19
Amber sets up the exam rooms with Carina and Jo before the clinic opens. After the green card interview was scheduled Carina tasked Amber and Jo with asking her questions about Maya that she would have to answer to prove their marriage is legitimate.
âFavorite food?â
âPapaya.â
âPapaya?â Jo asks surprised, âMy favorite food is anything with cheese and Iâm pretty sure thereâs no fruit with cheese.â
âWell, youâre not a gold winning Olympian who should be captain of a fire station if it wasnât for bureaucracy and macho men.â Carina defends her wife to Jo who looks at Amber.
âFishing for compliments.â Amber explains.
âYou donât need confirmation on how awesome your wife is.â
âYes but I do need questions that will keep me here so I can keep telling you.â Carina reminds the sisters who nod.
Jo asks, âFavorite color?â
Carina thinks, âUmâŚred.â
âCremation or burial?â Jo scoffs at Amberâs question both amused and horrified.
Carina chuckles, âWhat? Do you think ICE is curious on whether I know my wife wants her body in ashes or in a casket?â
Amber helps Carina set up a sheet on a gurney that serves as an exam table, âHey you said to cover all the basis and ICE are a bunch of macho rednecks who want to keep America pure. And that includes kicking good doctors like you back to your home country.â
âYeah, she makes a point Carina.â Travis joins in from the exam room next door, âAnd if youâre an American you can vote for anybody but Michael Dixon as mayor of Seattle. Unless you want your future kid taken from you because of some law he passes where gay couples canât raise babies together.â
âGreat start to an smear campaign Montgomery.â Amber tells him sarcastically.
âIâm sorry itâs just that it frustrates me that politicians like Michael Dixon are so focused on how they can flex their power instead of how they can use that power to tackle real issues like immigration or healthcare or literally every issue that Dixon makes worse.â
âHeâs not gonna win.â Jo tells Travis who is still fuming.
âYou donât know that. I mean look at the guys we already have in the white house, Iâm sure some of them have done twice as many crimes as Dixon and yet people voted for them.â
Amber nods in agreement, âThis argument is exactly why I am apolitical.â
Sullivan chuckles a few feet from them joining in to Carinaâs annoyance, âYeah politics are too confusing for me, itâs why I hardly vote.â Amber and Jo look at Sullivan confused, and he steps forward to introduce himself. Travis sees a disaster coming and quickly walks away, âHi, Lieutenant Robert Sullivan.â
Jo shakes his hand, âHi Iâm Dr. Jo Karev, this is my sister, Dr. Amber DeLuca.â Amber faces Robert with a sly grin remembering him in less than favorable ways.
Robert nods remembering her as well, âRight we actually met before at Maya and Carinaâs wedding you went there as guy DeLucaâs date.â
âOh yeah I remember you.â Amber says with a fake grin, âYouâre the cutthroat son of a bitch who got Maya demoted at her wedding.â
Sullivan frowns at that in surprise at her bluntness as she continues, âMy husband described you that first which is usually expected of me, so it is impressive you got my peaceful man that angry.â Carina grins proudly at her sister-in-law defending Maya out of view from the group while Jo stands next to Amber looking uncomfortable.
Robert frowns at that, âI see I have fans with Bishops extended family as well.â
âTrust me you donât, along with the new fire chief we imagined your head exploding from your macho ego.â Robert opens his mouth to explain but Amber holds up her hand and continues, âAnd before you mansplain to get me on your side, I recommend you save it because I already hate you and I am hardly a person who changes their mind after one speech.â
Robert frowns at that and keeps quiet as Amber turns to Jo who presses her lips at the scene before facing Amber, âIâm gonna set up more exam rooms.â
Jo supports that wanting her not to cause a scene, âYou do that.â Amber walks away from them leaving Sullivan with Jo and Carina who comes back to them with a satisfied grin.
Robert pops his mouth, âShe seems nice.â
Carina chuckles at that knowing how her sister-in-law can seem to strangers and people she detests, âTrust me that was her being nice especially towards you.â Carina walks away from Sullivan to get more supplies.
Jo and Sullivan stand there for a moment alone awkwardly before Jo speaks, âIâm gonnaâŚâ Jo walks away from Sullivan relieved to be away from the awkwardness.

Boyfriendâs reaction to fruits basket season 1 episode 22
Dude, sheâs got brain freakies (Hanajima)
Kill him!
Why is no one helping her? And no oneâs gonna help her?
Girl, go to jail
Girl as in boy
Oh did she kill a motherfucker with her brain? She killed a motherfucker with her brain
Girl they canât prove shit! You get away with itâ¤ď¸
And rightfully so, he was a dick
Also, Iâm not ruling anything out after this because she killed a motherfucker with her brain. Also they turn into animals, but she killed a motherfucker with her brain!
And adults fucking listen to that shit?
So like, what is the magic system in this universe? Is it just plot convenience? âNo, not reallyâ Yeah it is, whenever they need someone to be freaky
Intro, Tohru Honda
This is like the opposite of that scene in Lilo and Stitch
Are they gonna light her on fire?
Why are children so cruel?
Girl you got hurt!
Also, I think the adults needed to do more
Like the teacher should have been like âNo, I came in and saw them hold a match against her skin. Expel these fuckers.â
In America, if you came to school wearing black nail polish no one would care
Portland motherfuckers be like âI scored us a thirdâ
These motherfuckers, I swear to god
Okay, now I get it when you said this episode was yuri
The patient needs queerbait to live
He probably just had an aneurism or something
No, this show has magic. She probably killed him with her brain
Sheâs the dark empath
And I looked beside me and there were two sets of footprints⌠Jesus!
Itâs so queerbait
Wait, they lean in for a fucking kiss. What the hell?
A flash, whoosh, bang!
Maybe in later episodes, she could kill someone with her brain again when she needs it
But itâs okay, youâre a family of goths! Donât lose your identity
Every fucking episode thereâs an episode about friendship. Thatâs for the finale!

Pre-Flight Checklist
Last Chance Car Repair & Scrapyard The Edge Free Rasalhague Republic 18 May 3049
Chance folded down the welding mask and fired up the plasma cutter. It was for the most serious of problems. When all else had failed, the plasma cutter would be able to deal with the matter.
âYou sure that's a good idea Chance? There's gonna be a lot of damage and cleanup.â Jake, his business partner and best friend asked.
âI know what I'm doing Jake. All the other tools wouldn't remove it so this is where it's at.â Chance said with a tone of frustration.
âYeah but the plasma cutter? Are you really sure you've tried everything else? Measure twice and cut once you know.â Jake put on a pair of welding glasses and leaned against the wall to look at what was transpiring.
âI considered using the saw. I wasn't sure the material however would hold up. The torque would probably splinter it.â Chance said as he moved the plasma cutter across the measured line.
âYeah⌠That sounds about right. I would have tried hot water.â
âWhat good would that do?â
âIt would make the metal expand which could force it to move.â
âBut how would you turn it?â
âTowel.â
âThis way is better.â Chance as he finished the cut. He folded up the welding mask. With a gloved hand he reached to pick the top off. Then he took the glass jar and fished out a chili fruit from it. Then gave it a testing bite. Jake removed the welding goggles and stared.
âTastes good.â Chance said, satisfied that he had finally opened a stubborn jar. Jake helped himself to another fruit and tasted it.
âLucky.â He shook his head and gave his pal a light jab in the shoulder. âAlright hotshot. How are you going to keep the jar of chilis in the fridge without it going bad without a lid?â
âIâm going to put it in another jar where the lid isnât stuck.This time weâre not putting it in the back.â Chance got an empty jar from the entry and filled it from the old one.
âIf you're done opening jars, Chance, the Honda needs to have the particle filter changed and the servo pump is on its last legs. See if you canât also figure out why the transmission is so stiff.â Jake said getting a can of cola while the fridge was open.
âDid you check between the steering wheel and seat?â Chance grinned back at him. Jake narrowed his eyes for a moment, then realized what Chance was saying.
âSpeaking of piloting error. When you get the chance, come down to the hangar and weâll need to look at the Turbostalker.â Jake said while the can hissed open.
âYou got it.â Chance said as he cleaned his hands upÂ
â--------------------------------------------------------
Down below the scrapyard, in a secret underground base. Lost to the ages and the ravages of the succession wars. But then recently cleaned out and restored to active use. An old black and red aerospace fighter sat in a workshop. It had seen battle, fairly recently too. Heat scars showed that lasers had raked across the armour. Small pock-holes on the frontal section were witness to a myriad of long range missile hits.
Jake was busy freeing an armored panel that had gotten hit badly by a laser shot.
âSo whatâs the problem with her?â Chance asked as he wandered in.
âMyomer strains. Your flying during the last pirate raid a few days ago frayed the myomers going out into the right wing.âJake motioned at the wing in question.
âIt was either that or fly into the Riflemanâs fire. Easy choice.â âSure. Still needs repairing though. The release system for hardpoints barely works now so weâre going to have to fix that if we want to have those Arrow missiles for the next pirate raid⌠we better get to work.â Jake sounded a little tired. As though the thankless task they had gotten themselves into helping to protect this side of the planet from pirates and whatever else came from the deep periphery got to him. It made him feel tired in the moment.
âEasy.â Chance as he joined his co-pilot in fixing the plane up. âJust picture the general's face when we pull his ass out of the fire again.â He grinned. Jakeâs world felt brighter again.
âWorth all the trouble.â He nodded.
âAt the end of the day you gotta admit it was some fancy flying.â Chance pulled loose a panel from the wing to look at the frayed myomers inside.
âYeah. Just as wasted on the raiders as in the army.â Jake chuckled.
âHeck yeah.â

Article from a 1993 Holiday Auto magazine on what they thoughtvwere the best JDM engines from the previous 12 months.
TRANSLATION
Holiday Auto No.1 Selection '92~'93
engine department
Japanese power unit is the best in the world
The reaction to the âTwin Camâ feature in the opening feature of the 9/10 issue was tremendous. We have a wide range of products from current powerful engines to past famous machines and future models, but the one with a supercharger won the number one spot.
Boosted No 1 Nissan's RB26DETT,
Natural intake was Honda's C30A.
RB26DETT (equipped with Skyline GT-R)
King with supercharger
I'm really conscious of the race
Literally the famous machine that became the driving force behind the "R" myth.
Since its debut in 1988, the Skyline GT-R has shown overwhelming performance. The heart of this is the RB26DETT model. As the slogan of the BNR32 GT-R says, âIn the beginning, the engine was there. The mechanics are transcendent."
The 6-throttle chamber has a butterfly type throttle valve for each cylinder to enhance throttle response. The turbo is a hybrid of the T3 type on the compressor side and the T25 type that uses a ceramic rotor on the turbine side. The intercooler has a large capacity. The main body is also fully armed with a cooling channel piston and an EX valve during sodium filling. All of Nissan's technology has been incorporated.
â˛Metal sodium is added to the stem of the exhaust valve, enclosed. Solid at room temperature and liquefied at high temperature
Suppresses the temperature rise of the exhaust valve by using the properties of sodium
_______________________________________________
C30A
(Equipped with NSX)
King of naturally aspirated
I also want to focus on weight reduction
A V-shaped unit created with the ultimate in luxury
The domestic high-power engine has become a 280ps battle. However, the C30A is the only naturally aspirated engine that achieves this figure.
The C30A is the second VTEC engine. In addition to the technology of the B16A type, it also adopts a variable capacity device for the intake manifold. This is to close the valve provided in the manifold chamber up to about 4800 rpm, and to increase the torque by inertial intake due to pulsation change.
The V type with a 90-degree angle is lightweight, and the tuning of the rotation system is also carefully considered. These include molybdenum-coated pistons, titanium connecting rods, ultra-precision mirror-finished crankshafts, and a deep-skirt-type cylinder block made of aluminum light alloy.
â˛Big Bore, Short Stroke and Honda Racing
Following the theory of Guengin. In addition to VTEC, intake
A manifold variable capacity device is adopted to aim for the top
2JZGTE
It's Aristo's heart
2nd place
2JZ-GTE (with Aristo)
It may have been upgraded, but it will be installed, but at that time it will be even more powerful. The torque value of 44.0-kgm is in the class for the Supra scheduled to debut this year
Maximum output:280 hp / 5600 rpm Maximum torque:44.0 kgm/3600 rpm
As mentioned in the top speed section, Toyota's strongest engine that supports Aristo is the 2JZ-GTE type. The base is the 1JZ-GTE type that debuted one step ahead, but the 86.0 x 71.5mm bore x stroke has been souped up and changed to the 86.0 x 86.0mm square type. Toyota's first two-way twin turbo system (sequential turbo) is adopted for this, and it demonstrates the maximum output / maximum torque of 280ps / 44.0kgm. The torque value of 44.0kg m is the strongest in its class. It will also be installed in the next Supra.
6G72
Big torque in low speed range
6G72
(with Mitsubishi GTO)
You can run the GTO fast without doing it. âź As you can see from the maximum torque at only 2500 rpm, it is a torque-oriented type. That's why it's a regular shift work
MITSUBISHI
V6 DOHC
Maximum output 280 horsepower / 6000 rpm Maximum torque: 42.5 kgm / 2500 rpm
Mitsubishi's heavy fighter, the power unit that pulls the GTO is the 6G72 type. Mitsubishi engines are originally characterized by their focus on torque, and the 6G72 is no exception. Rather, the turbo tune makes its character even clearer. The maximum torque value of 42.5kgm is proof of that. Mechanically, it will be a twin turbo & twin intercooler V6 DOHC that adopts an electronically controlled variable intake system, a new intake port, an active exhaust system, and a high-precision electronically controlled fuel injection system.
B16A
You should enjoy the taste of this once B16A (equipped with Civic etc.)
2nd place
HONDA
continue to reign in The B16A model is the one that made Honda VTEC known to the world. high speed saga
Maximum output: 170 horsepower / 7800 rpm Maximum torque: 16.0 kgm / 7300 rpm
The B16A was the first model to adopt VTEC (Variable Valve Timing Wrist Mechanism). VTEC is a mechanism that uses cams with different profiles in the low speed range and high speed range, aiming to increase peak output in the high rpm range and practical mid- to low-speed torque. In the new model, the compression ratio was increased to 10.4, the valve timing and valve lift were changed, and intake and exhaust efficiency was improved by reducing intake and exhaust resistance. As a result, we achieved 170ps, which is 10ps higher than the conventional model.
4G92
4G92 (equipped with MIVEC, Mirage, etc.)
The cam profile switching mechanism is similar to VTEC, but in the case of MIVEC,
two of the four cylinders are cam-coupled
is rigidly connected to either rocker arm.
The valve will not open unless
the hydraulic piston is not moving
MIVEC
Mitsubishi's next-generation mecha
DOHC 16 VALVE
Maximum output: 175 horsepower / 7800 rpm Maximum torque: 16.0 kgm / 7300 rpm
20V 4A-GE
Behold the brilliance of 5 valves
4A-GE (with Levin/Trueno)
Maximum output: 160 horsepower / 7400 rpm Maximum torque: 18.2 kgm / 4800 rpm
The new 4A-GE is a 5-valve DOHC with 3 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves. This is combined with VVT (variable valve timing), and a quadruple throttle is adopted to achieve a sharp pickup that does not take sink marks in VTEC and MIVEC.

Which of the four nations do you think each of the 40 (excluding Zuko and Korra) would be part of and which ones could bend?
Remember! List is subject to change!
Indented: Character
Bullet point: Explanation
When writing my answer, I had thought of a A:TLA AU with these characters, with the exception of Korra, but let me know if anyone is interested in hearing it!
MCS (WE): A:TLA Elements
I came up with this list back with the mind set of all of them to be benders, but if I had to chose some of them to be non-benders to would be:
Spike Spiegel
He isn't rich or socially powerful as some of the other characters from his anime, but he's always quick on his feet and has a few tricks up his sleeves.
Mako Mankanshoku
She's already weaker in a sense compared to the cast of her anime, but I can see her being supportive and learning chi-blocking, even if she executes in a weird way.
Chika Fujiwara
She is definitely the opposite of Spike when it comes to wealth and social standing, but I could imagine her more in a role of where she is a non-bender but is very manipulative, kind of playing mind games with her opponent.
Tohru Honda
She didn't need special powers in order to help the Sohma family, so a non-bender role would fit with her.
Izuku Midoriya
I don't think I need to say it.
Senku Ishigami
HE WILL USE SCIENCE TO DECIMATE ANY BENDERS WHO WISH HIM OR HIS LOVED ONES HARM! CHANGE MY MIND!
Iruma Suzuki
He's isn't a fighter, but we have seen him train and fight when faced against the odds, even though he is just a human in the Netherworld full of demons.
Nagisa Shiota
Naturally adaptable and can easily fool his opponents into dropping their guard because of his unassuming appearance.
Ciel Phantomhive
It's in a similar vain to Chika, but he would be pulling more strings in the background to combat any benders.
But regardless, here is my take on your question!
Fire:
Heine Wittgenstein
Earth would be a good element for him as he endured so much from both versions of his backstory. However, because he was a leader in both stories and he was driven to make changes to the kingdom/lives of those who lived in the lower class better, I put him with fire.
Satoru Gojo
He wants to change how the jujutsu system is and has an insane amount of drive, even if it seems heâs just kickback. Not to mention he already has such powerful and destructive technique, what could possibly go wrong? (Answer: Everything).
Kusuo Saiki
Even in the most ridiculous of situations, he has the drive and energy to achieve his goals and or a quiet life.
Rin Okumura
Driven, determined, stubborn, wants to be the best exorcist and defeat Satan, definitely a firebender.
Soma Yukihira
His biggest drive is to beat his father and to become the best chef in the world, making his perfect element fire.
Ciel Phantomhive
Ironic that heâs fire, but I chose this element as he is a leader who takes charge of his life, even if it means to make a contract with a demon. He knows what he wants and he doesnât care what it takes to get it.
Killua Zoldyck
Fire, and not just for his lighting. He has the strength and determination to fight for what he believes, even if it means fighting against his family or powerful enemies. He will even use everything in his arsenal to see that Alluka, his friends, and Gon are safe and sound.
Emma
Definitely fire as she is driven to get the kids of the orphanage out of there and safe all the while doing everything in her power so they can get to the human world safely. I could see her as earth too, but she isn't afraid to challenge the system.
Earth:
Levi Ackerman
Is a firm leader who doesn't bend (ha!) to anyone and keeps marching forward even in the hardest of times.
Kobayashi
Blunt, stubborn, but determined and headstrong, I can see her as a powerful earthbender who knows how to keep others in line.
Edward Elric
Even though he has a short temper, he would make a perfect earthbender as he already works with so many elements from the earth and is stubborn to a fault.
Senku Ishigami
He has conviction and drive, but also when he sets his mind to a goal, there is no talking him out of it. For better or for worse, he take on any challenge he comes across and sweeps everyone else along for the ride.
(Plus I can imagine him using his bending and science to creating Octo-Arms just like Doc Ock.)
Air:
Saitama
While indifferent, he still has a heart and fights for the right thing. He can come off as rude or cynical, but thatâs only because his indifference affects his social interactions. I first thought fire or earth would be his forte, but then I thought of how he usually fights in the defense of others. Sure he wants to find a fight that he can go all out in, but more often than not, get involved in a fight when civilians or an area is in danger. So I thought air would fit him.
Naegi Makoto
He tries to keep the peace and finds a resolution, and absolutely hates the idea of killing. But he brings a sense of community to the group he leads.
Legoshi
He is quite humble as he purely uses his strength for the sake of others and to protect them, so he would be a prefect airbender
Mako Mankanshoku
Full of life, cheer, and loves her family and friends to the very core, even through the hardest time, she has such high spirits that itâs hard to not get swept up in it.
Ryota Suzui
He doesnât like to take risks, but is shown to pull through when the stakes are high. Smart, yet thoughtful. Careful, but determined. But above all else, he is grounded.
Tetsuya Kuroko
As you know, he works best in the shadows and as a support. And since air can be used to support the other elements, this is perfect for him.
Izuku Midoriya
He deeply cares for those he loves and stands up for what is right. While some go with fire, I see air bending as more of his style.
Shoyo Hinata
He doesn't like to be shackled by his own limitations, which is why he strives to break them so he can go higher.
Shigeo Kageyama
He can be naive at times, but he has a deep understanding of people and emotions, and plus his esper abilities already deals with spirits, so this is a good choice for him.
Iruma Suzuki
He doesn't have material desires, he just wants to live his life with his family and friends. He may be a gentle soul, but when push comes to shove, he can pull off amazing feats.
Hanako
Because of his playful nature and that he strives to protect the spirit world and those he cares deeply for.
Water:
Italy
One of his famous landmark is the Grand Canal, but I see that he is a peacekeeper, but also a fighter if need be, (i.e. Turkey). I considered him as an Airbender, but he has earthly attachments so water I found was a better fit as he also cares for his family and friends and can adapt pretty much everywhere, even in the wackiest of ways.
Spike Spiegel
Like his philosophy, he goes with the flow of life and adapts to anything life throws at him. He also has a heart, even if he doesnât show it.
Satoru Fujinuma
When he has to constantly live through Revival, he has to adapt and be quick to find the oddity. And even if he doesnât show it or says he doesnât have the capacity to care about others, he constantly puts himself in harm's way for their sake.
L Lawliet
He is adaptable in so many ways that he always has a contingency plan. Even if one plan fails, heâs quick to come up with another and is always strategizing, like his mind games with Light.
Yuuri Katsuki
He has a deep love for his family, friends, and later on Victor. His entire program centers around the concept of love and during his training he learns how to adapt both physically and mentally.
U-1146
Definitely determined and hardworking, for his ultimate goal is to protect the body and the cells that live in it, making him the perfect waterbender.
Haruka Nanase
Do I even need to say it?
Kae Serinuma
Throughout the changes of her life, she adapts and finds ways to conquer through them. And she wishes for the others to get along, even if sheâs oblivious to their feelings for her.
Langa Hasegawa
Adapts from snowboarding to skateboarding in a matter of seconds and deeply cares towards his new found family.
Chika Fujiwara
As a politician's daughter, she needs to be ready for anything. With all her skill sets and to be able to switch the situation to her advantage, this is her element. (But now Iâm terrified that she will try to learn blood bending.)
Mafuyu Sato
Despite being soft spoken and most of the time expressionless, he has a big heart and cares for those he loves, especially when he is afraid of saying the wrong thing. He found a place within the band and could definitely call it home.
Tohru Honda
Gentle, thoughtful, sometimes stubborn, has adapted to the worse, and a healer to all, this is her element.
Haruhi Fujioka
Often blunt and lacking tack at times, she has shown to be understanding and quite motherly at times, which makes her caring but brings about a tough love.
Tanjiro Kamado
He is entirely devoted to his family and those he cares about and strives not only to find a cure for his sister, but to rid Muzan from the world so that innocent people can live out their lives in peace.
