#I may be doing my best on the others but Alex Harley

[5-7-9]

This panel is pretty funny 😂 just because of how wish fulfillment it is

Like, you wish this happened, huh?

I don’t like it when stories use their citizens as some kind of monolith hive mind, they just suddenly get inspired to do good or bad for no reason or the reason is too superficial. It bugs me, what can i say? 🤷

Interesting part to note is how they treated people taking up Joker's masks though.

Joker’s mask seems to be what gives these hooligans the freedom to cause mayhem. I’ve already said it before, but this comic treats Joker’s smile as insincere, something to hide, fake. As if being allowed to a secretive identity removes guilt over responsibility. Like when internet trolls can’t be tied to their face. This is expanded on through Alex Kayes the best. Although I don’t like her character’s existence, she highlights the part of Joker’s legacy that was perhaps misguidedly applied to Joker. Social media and public outcry.

Remember Logan Paul’s infamous apology video? James Charles? Etc. social media people? The comic even got the YouTube logo on it.

Red Flag is having a political podcast 🚩😙 sorry~ but if you’re anything like Andrew Tate, the alt-right pipeline is one you don’t want to stay in. Don’t believe everything you hear.

“It’s about sending a message” …was it hate speech? Jkjk. But this is exactly what Heath Ledger’s Joker’s mission in The Dark Knight Rises movie by Chris Nolan was like.

He was also described by Alfred as “Someone people just want to watch the world burn” with absolutely no reason to be evil, he just is evil 🙃 So there is some similarity to Punchline to this movie’s Joker.

Social media and the constant criticisms done by people reacting and adding their own stuff like idk tiktok i guess? Oh right, the comic said it, yeah. Idk any tiktok challenges like this one, so no video example 🤷

Joker War was also mentioned in other comics. I think it’s interesting how Bao Pham’s origins with Joker and Harley was, and his eventual rise to being Joker Hunter and protecting his city. Then i think he left eventually (idk). Huh.

More Punchline, this time from oftentimes copaganda and all times police commissioner Jim Gordon! More teenagers that support Punchline being bullies, what else is new. I totally forgot what I wanted to say, so I’ll just skip to the end of what I really wanted to comment on. Y’know I only recently learned about this so that’s why I’m talking about it but I think it was really awesome that Joker 2019 traveled all the way around the world because people were using his face masks in activism. That’s the positive side of having a brand, DC comics can go across countries and be recognizable. The more recognizable you are, the more people hear you. That’s what happened in the case with the Joker from the protests in Lebonon, Chile, Hong Kong, Bolivia, Colombia, Spain, Catalonia, and Ecuador (there may have been more but idk). (Warning! Talks of death and possible SA in this video!)

(I’d like to take a special time to acknowledge the Iraq Joker (mustafa makki kareem) since I found a rather in-depth interview video of his efforts). (This was 4 years ago, so I’m afraid the political landscape of Iraq has taken a turn… I hope he’s okay).

An interview with some Hong Kong protestors that wear masks to protect their identity. Interestingly enough, this video calls the mask similar to Batman :)

Also they mention reasons for hiding their identity, and methods!

There’s a few clips of Bolivia’s Joker too

Some faces of Lebonon Jokers (this video is edited with TDK Bane’s message but the original video isn’t allowed in my country?)

More edits of Chile Lebonon and Hong Kong (again, original video linked in description but unavailable to me)

In fact, that’s what happened to the Joker 2019 movie. Nowhere in the comics had Joker been depicted as he was in that movie, a victim of an oppressive system. That movie essentially took back a villain and made him this icon. That was the first time ever after Joker’s further evilization after “The Dark Knight Rises” and “Death In The Family” and “The Killing Joke” made Joker one of the evilest Batman characters (considering the ever so slightly sympathetic side to the rest of the rouges). Not to go off on it, but I think it really was a good thing for Joker. I think his criminalization crossed a line at some point, so in a way, this makes up for it.

Of course, even with all of this, it’d be unfair of me to not mention all the bad that did come from Joker. I will not discount that. And no- the 2012 Aurora shooter James Holms had orange dyed hair and is NOT inspired by Joker, he didn’t even know the movie was going on, fyi. • The Florida man Lawrence Sullivan who was arrested in 2017 for allegedly pointing a firearm at an officer. (I reached my 10 video limit 😭). • The recreation of Joker 2019 bus killing scene with suicidal 24-year-old Kyota Hattori in Tokyo train. • The “Gypsy Crusader” or Paul Nicholas Miller was a popular troll that liked to cosplay as Joker in the 2019 movie and comics Riddler while making jokes (i think he did offensive humor?) of the “radical” alt-right stance. (Ironically, the racists didn’t want a Roma descent racist on their side 💀). He was arrested for possession of an unregistered rifle and a lot of ammunition. He also lived in New Jersey…

• 2014 Jerad Miller from Las Vadas Nevada shot two police officers and one bystander dressed as the Joker with an accomplice. Essentially doing a murder-suicide when they then shot themselves. He posted videos to Youtube of his messages. (I think there was some mental illness going on? But idk) (there is also mentions of political stuff like angry at drug laws and the corrupted government and a swatsika?) (yeah idk, it was confusing).

Yes, the criminal turned devil turned sympathetic villain leads to multiple interpretations of Joker, who would’ve guessed? (sarcasm). Even London and Clermont mocked their presidents with the clown face. It’s not entirely black and white 🤷

Still, despite all the flaws in Joker 2019’s movie, all the good that came out of it… I feel as though it outweighed the bad. So, it’s not easy to hate it. Shout out to this video analysis essay that made me critically think about the Batman movies!

Halloween Shenanigans

Individual images are not mine, all I did was create the collages.

Warnings: established 3-way Relationship, implied sexual content, minors DNI, some small Halloween references

Chelsea is throwing a last minute Halloween costume party for the entire club. Which means you now need a costume. Chris is being silly and wearing a Jets jersey with a cowboy hat and Mase is pretending to be Michael Jordan. So you think you should stick to the sports theme as well and you know just the outfit, Alex Morgan.

You were just going to wear a Chelsea jersey, but all of yours have one of their last names on it and you didn't want to make either of them think it was a competition. Besides, Alex was your favorite player growing up. You have a San Diego Wave kit in your closet because you really liked the colors. Plus Christian may or may not have pulled a few strings to allow you to meet your hero. He and Mase took you to a game and it was so much fun. You slip into the kit, add her signature pink pre-wrap headband and your PUMA ultra cleats that Chris got for you because they match the kit really well. You snap a quick selfie of you with your boys before heading out.

When you arrive Mase runs off to grab drinks for all three of you, while you and Chris meet up with Ben and Reece. Most of the players know about the three of you, as well as some of the staff, but you aren't quite ready to have everyone in on your secret life yet. Ben, Reece, Kepa, and Kai are some of the best supporters you have. While none of them fully get the situation you all are in, they know how much you mean to Mase and Chris as well as how much both of your boys mean to you.

Kai, Sophia, Kepa, and Andrea join you in the booth you're all currently at. Kepa and Andrea dressed as The Joker and Harley Quinn. Kai and Sophia did Barbie and Ken, while Reece, Chilly, and Jorginho went with being DunKings. The conversation between all of you flows easily and before you know it the girls have talked you into hitting the dance floor with them, no boys allowed. Just a good old girl time gossip sesh. Once you're out of the booth the other boys are able to catch sight of your full costume.

"Yo… when did Alex Morgan get here?" Kai teases you.

"I would not want to be the one in net against her." Kepa adds and you laugh.

"I expected the dumb and dumber act from Ben and Reece, not you two arseholes." You say back before turning and walking off with Sophia and Andrea. The three of you hit the dance floor for a bit to gossip about your love lives, they are the only two girls that you have confided in about your relationship with Mase and Chris.

After a few songs you are in need of a drink so you head to the bar before meeting back up with your boys. After finishing your latest drink you grab one of each of their hands and try to pull them onto the dance floor with you.

“Baby, what are you trying to do?” Mase asks, arching an eyebrow.

“What does it look like I'm trying to do stupid, I want to dance with both of my boyfriends. At the same time. No more of this half ass crap. I'm dating the two hottest guys on the Chelsea first team and I want 100% of both of their attentions.” You tell him.

“So much for our cute, shy girl Mase, drunk y/n is confident, needy, and bossy in a very sexy kind of way.” Chris adds before letting you pull him up. Mase too and together the three of you head to the dance floor. Mason behind you, Christian in front of you. Mase has his hands on your hips helping the two of you lock into a rhythm that once you get, you pull Chris into it by wrapping your arms around his neck.

“C’mere cowboy!” You holler as you pull him in. “Excuse me, You look like you love me, in that cowboy hat.” You giggle at your use of the lyrics from one of the songs Chris has on his country playlist.

You dance for awhile until a throwback song that you and Mase love comes on in the club.

You tilt your head so you can whisper into Mase’s ear. “Your fingertips trace my skin, to places I have never been.” You sing along with the words.

Mase and Chris look at each other. Trying to decide how soon we can all get out of here. Drunk me is a tease, and I've been riling them both up while dancing. Not letting either of them pull back whatsoever. I'm sure that all they want right now is to take me home, sober me up, tie me up, and fuck me into the early hours of the morning. Something I have no complaints about. Once the current song is over they take me back to the table where Kai and Kepa are, sit me down with a glass of water and ask them to keep an eye on me until they get back.

They return with Chelsea goodie bags full of swag and new merch along with a few pieces of candy and some new protein shake powder packets. Apparently there's also a WAG bag of which they each were given one which means I get 2!

“Okay baby let's head home,” Mase says as Christian offers me his arm to help keep me steady.

“But I want to stay and dance more, and drink more, and party more, with Sophia and Andrea.” I complain, totally ignoring Christian's gesture.

“Baby, come on, let us take you home and then we can have a movie night. With Twitches and Twitches Too, your favorites. We can even stop and pick up some Halloween snacks on the way. How does that sound?” Chris coaxes.

“Fine. But I want a lot of snacks, and my favorite soda.”

“Deal,” Mase says and the three of you head out after the girls swing over for a big group photo. They are your football family after all.

Happy Halloween Y'all!

Feedback is appreciated as always!

Not to Homestuck or anything BUT

In light of the recent canon aspect analyses.........Texas+Time, Mike+Breath, Chuck+Mind, Julie+Void and Dutch+Space! :O  I don’t remember what I said for them last time and I can’t find the post anywhere, but OH MY GOD GUYS WE FINALLY HAVE CANON ASPECT DESCRIPTIONS I’VE WANTED THIS FOR SO LONG

Also, Kane is a Hope player and I’m terrified tbqh. Just like

........NO OKAY I’M PUTTING A CUT ON THIS SO I CAN YELL ABOUT MOTORCITY ASPECTS, NOT REALLY SO I CAN DEBATE IT WITH PEOPLE????  JUST BECAUSE I’M FULL OF SCREAMING

I mean hell, like, THAT sounds like a man who could conceive and create a miles-wide literal city in the sky, and then go on a relentless crusade for years to destroy the old “inferior” version. :T  Black and white morality, dreaming of a more beautiful future, driven first and foremost by their convictions.  Bonus: white and gold might not be the Deluxe colors, but it’s close enough I could kinda see Kane rocking it. :O

OKAY BUT ALSO like literally every word of the Breath analysis is Mike to a T and I’m dying, I CALLED that one.  That one I KNEW.  I remember saying that was a thing very specifically.

...................I don’t really have much to add to that, except for a lot of hearts because I love him, my good son.  

ALSO!!! ALSO OH MY GOD?!?!?! I SAID TEXAS SHOULD BE A TIME PLAYER BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY BUT OH MY GOD GUYS

TEEEEXAAAAAASSSSSSS!!!! TEXAS WITH TIME TRAVEL!!!!!!  

I’m super torn on Chuck, because now that we have descriptions I’m just kind of staring back and forth between Mind and Light and making a long, continuous groaning noise--but I mean.......

Chuck’s not big on his own identity as evidence by the way his biggest hobby is going out and pretending to be somebody cool and awesome and in control of the situation, so I really like that their identity is fluid point, too. :O  It feels kind of pat to give The Smart Guy mind, and like I said I’m just........gnnnghhh.  Light would also work.......

......buuuuuut also oh my god ALEX HARLEY is 1000000% a light player with NO debate involved.  God, my insufferable son.  Brief sidebar for OC time

^^^^^If anybody needed to know anything about Harley’s character, this Light aspect blurb calls him the FUCK out, like holy shit.  WOW.

............fussy, pedantic and insensitive, oh my god.  that’s my boy! TuT  It’s Chuck at his worst too, so I’m still kind of torn, but Chuck doesn’t seem as concerned with taking risks or being aggressive about seeking out knowledge for knowledge’s sake.  Strategy vs. academia.  This is the one I’m most torn about, but hey, that’s why these things are fun. :D

Dutch could probably also have been a void player, but space seems to be more based on creation and innovation, which is his jam! :O  HE MAKE!!! 

“Catch them recycling the old to make the new, the fresh, and the beautiful.”  I WAS JUST OVERCOME WITH FEELINGS ABOUT DUTCH, HOW GOOD.  Also fits his scorpion theme!  Dutch tends to be chill about stuff until the point he’s not, at which point he’s got a pretty sharp temper and he’s totally willing to lash out/fight!  “choose your battles wisely” doesn’t 100% describe Dutch, but I really like him and Space.  Feels organic.

Besides, Julie is a void player.  And not just because the blurb starts with “the secret-keepers of the universe”, although that certainly contributes

Where “a state of confusion” is a literal double-life and a conflicted and emotionally-torturous war between her found family and her born one, and “casting doubt on what is considered fully understood” is the way she questions the society she was brought up in!  GOD I LOVE HAVING CANON DESCRIPTIONS I LOVE HAVING CANON GUIDELINES FOR THINGS SO MUCH.

I’m super torn because I want to include Jacob and Claire, but also.....both of them are kinda Life aspect????? But I don’t want to repeat, but I don’t want to leave either of them out. >:T  Maybe Jacob dies early on and then JACOBSPRITE.  He’d make a pretty good sprite I’m jussayin.  NO WAIT OH, OKAY, how about....

Jacob: Blood :O  He’s definitely a mentoring, leading force for the Burners, but he doesn’t usually fight with them--he’s there to give support and advice.

“...Can often be found on a sinking ship” you mean like, advising and supporting a gang of five teenagers versus a terrifying man with an entire private army???  SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT.  Which gives Claire.....

Claire doesn’t have nearly enough screentime in the show and it’s a goddamn tragedy, but also when we see her she’s usually supporting people!  Helping the Burners even though she’s not a huge fan, picking apart their problems for them, listening to Julie’s rants and offering advice.  And tbqh....

.....That’s pretty much Julie and Claire’s conflict in Julie and the Amazons???  Claire  finds something that makes her really happy, and when Julie is upset Claire gets prickly back at her because come on, Claire’s been in her corner since day one!

And last but not least, and even more fitting than Mike as a breath player, uh...........Red is a Rage player.............. 

what a shock.......

.................."They can be frustratingly difficult to convince otherwise when they have attached themselves to an idea”......”At their worst they are cruel, uncompromising and vicious”..... “IF THEY SOUND DANGEROUS, THEY ARE”.

 WELL BOY HOWDY I’LL SAY, SIGN ME UP FOR RED BUT WEARING PURPLE.

For the first time in a LONG time I’m dying to draw some Homestuck crossover content, aghghagh;ldksjf;alskdfj;aosiefma;osidf

Another Supercorp Rant

"I don't want to be alone anymore...!" Kara cried as she confided in her sister Alex. Still traumatized from her return to the Phantom Zone, Kara found herself having a hard time adjusting. Everything seemed to be going wrong. Nylxy was exacting chaos in National City, and no matter how hard she tried at Catco she found herself habitually failing both Andrea and William. Everyone was partnered up and had a love interest to confide in. Kara hadn't been held or kissed romantically since Mon-El left, didn't Kara deserve that too?

Does anyone remember this? Yeah this. I think it was after the Season 6 hiatus? Kara cried into her sister's arms expressing how she didn't want to be alone anymore, but yet, I think that is what we all actually heard.

This is just one of a long list of reasons why Supergirl is such an infuriating show. Ever since Lena Luthor was introduced in season 2, the entire show has revolved around Kara and Lena's friendship. Every love interest that Kara and Lena have had has been a toxic male that has come and then gone, because they are unpopular with fans.

If Kara doesn't end of with Lena, this will be the first DC based CW show in which the main character ends up alone! Do you know how ludicrous that is? At this point, with only three episodes left, the writers do not have time to introduce a new love interest.

To which some of you may be thinking, what about William?

1. I don't want to dive into why I disagree with Kara dating William.

2. A little birdie told me that in the finale, William dies. From what I've seen of this season, I would not be surprised if that is true.

I guess one of the things that makes me so angry about last week's episode "What about love?" is the fact that the whole episode was about how Lex Luthor (who we have not seen since the midpoint of season 6) is in love with Nxlxy, who he HASN'T EVEN MET YET!!!! The fact that the writers could take the time to reach such a bogus, unconvincing storyline, but they could not finally make Supercorp Canon!

*Breathe*

*Takes deep breath*

It really is a shame, because there is no excuse for it. Korrasami and the LGBTQ Supreme Court ruling paved the way for Supergirl to be openly bisexual in 2015. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are openly bisexual DC anti-heroines. Yes, Kara and Lena are not canon according to the comic books, but neither was Oliver and Felicity!

Just like Olicity was the most popular ship in Arrow, Supercorp is by far the most popular ship in Supergirl. So, when the writers hmm and haw about how they can't make everyone who ships a couple in Supergirl happy, it's bullshit. Aside from William (who rejected Kara when she returned fromt the Phantom Zone), there is no one else to ship Kara with in this eleventh hour.

If Melissa Benoist doesn't want to kiss Katie McGrath. I would rather her just be honest and come out and say that. As an actress with autonomy over her own body, it is her right to not have to kiss another woman for a show.

Now, don't get me wrong. I do not believe that a woman has to be in a romantic relationship to be whole or worthy or happy. I don't believe that AT ALL. However, Supercorp is different. Supercorp is a 100 episodes of flirting, lip biting, side-eyed suggestive glances, staring at each other's pictures when they are alone at night, eating Big Belly Burger and literal French food from Paris together, and crying over or becoming emotional about their friendship with each other every other episode.

Okay, moment of honesty. I had a friendship that was kind of like Supercorp. I'd bite my lip when I was around her, I would shoot her suggestive glances, if I wasn't with her I'd count the minutes until I could be with her again, I would inconvenience myself to buy her nice things, I would look at her picture late at night, and I'd become hella emotional over our friendship every other day.

I came to realize that I was gay, in love with my best friend, and I wanted to fuck her ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

I REST MY CASE.

no thoughts 👁👁 just the buckley-mercer family

HARLEY HARLEY HARLEY!!!!!! I need you to know that I adore you oh my god

I know I did this last time but have some Buckley-Mercer headcanons just for you 🥰

Their living situation is a little odd

Buck’s apartment consists of him, y/n, Alex, Albert, and Luke

It’s hectic, it’s a lot, Buck has to be the responsible one and it’s a role he had to grow into but ultimately it’s the environment they need and it works for them,

Maddie’s place consists of her, Chimney, Jee, Bobby, and Reggie

It’s a little quieter but it’s also chaotic in its own way, there’s a lot of running around but it’s also filled with a ton of laughter, and no matter how many times Maddie insists they don’t have to, Bobby and Reggie always offer free babysitting

Though they are known to change arrangements a lot, sometimes Alex needs a little more peace, sometimes Reggie needs an outlet for all his energy, sometimes Y/N just needs to spend some time with her sister and they’ll make all the boys have a sleepover at Buck’s

Really it varies on a regular basis

It wasn’t always easy, in fact it kinda got worse before it got better

And it’s still not easy

But they’re learning and growing together

Y/N struggles to open up to anyone that isn’t Alex or the boys, especially when it comes to Buck and Maddie, she learns everything that happened at one point and she understands but it still hurts, sometimes she stays the night at Julie’s or May’s and those are the nights where she struggles, where it’s harder to get through the day, and they let her leave but they also check in with Ray and Athena and they’re always there in the morning waiting for her

Alex still gets really anxious every now and then, everyone else left their lives behind but sometimes there’re moments when he remembers that his parents are only a car ride away, living with family that cares about him means the world but there’s a part of him that’s scared it’ll be taken away, but these people are ones that recognize the tells he has, they go out of their way to be there for him and he realizes then that they’ll always be there to support him

Maddie is the parent figure, she’s the one they go to when they need serious advice, she’s the most level headed and has a tendency to worry the most about them, sometimes she has doubts but those are always pushed away when she hears the chorus of ‘love you Maddie!’

Chimney likes to pretend he’s also a parent figure but he’s not the best at the hard stuff, he wants to be the good guy all the time which results in things like Alex mentioning they had an idea for new merch but they were saving money to get the shirts printed and Chim ends up spending way too much money getting them the shirts along with too many other things they didn't need, he always means well though

Albert is by far the cool one, he drives them wherever they wanna go, helps them get ready for shows, covers for them if they need it (within reason of course), he’s the more lenient one who advocates and fights for them whenever everyone else is a little mad, they love having him around, he’s the one the boys go to for approval when they need an outside opinion for something the band is doing

Buck is absolutely the embarrassing one, he’s the one who worries about them when he shouldn’t, the one who tells bad jokes fully thinking they’re good. He cares about them more than anything and he lets them have fun but he’s also the one who tries to insert himself into their planned activities for the day when they get together with May, Julie, and Flynn cause he thinks he fits in easy

Luke, Reggie, and Bobby are honorary Buckley Mercer’s. None of them can pinpoint when it happened but one day they heard Chimney and Maddie refer to all of them as ‘our kids’ and lost it completely. Sometimes they forget that they’re truly family until they come across a framed picture of all ten of them or when they see song lyrics stuck on the fridge with a post it note stuck to the front telling them how good it was. The concept of family is never clearer to them until those moments.

But family doesn’t stop there, it includes Julie and Flynn and May and the entire 118.

Whenever there’s no band practice or anything to do and they’re bored it’s almost certain that they’re at the 118 if everyone is on shift

They’re all just so supportive of each other

Then there’s the occasional day where no one has a shift, no one has practice, no one has any commitments

Those days are their favorites. Everyone shows up at Athena’s house and though she pretends to be surprised they all happen to be there at the same time, she welcomes them with open arms.

They talk and laugh and Luke brings along the acoustic and plays whatever they want him to. He’s been known to learn songs just for them. They sit in the backyard and have the time of their life.

It’s those nights when none of them can remember anything other than that feeling of being really truly happy. There’s no fear or anxiety or worry. There’s just them, their family, and the feeling of being happy

[polyhexian]

Excerpts from my CDStorm playlist:

Himininn er að hrynja, en stjörnurnar fara þér vel -  Ólafur Arnalds

Do you still remember when we were little? We were playing in the park, And you asked me what happens when you die. I said you forget everything... everything. 'Even you?' you asked. Yes, even me

It's OK, I Wouldn't Remember Me Either - Crywank

Maybe I should just pack up and run away again Let you forget that you were once my friend Then watch another, go on and do better without me But I could not go away, not if I wanted to I can hide from friends but I cannot hide from you

Too Heavy a Burden - The Tiny

If I were strong enough I'd carry you home through the storm But I'm not enough you see

Comics this week (3/10/2021)?

Anonymous said: Comics?

Anonymous said: 3/10 NCBD?

Non-Stop Spider-Man #1: The lead story was fun, the backup was dopey, I’ll give it another issue or two to see where it goes.

The Immortal Hulk #44: While it was too late for this week I’ve taken Hulk off my pull list, so the store won’t order any copies specifically for me and therefore my future purchase of the book won’t support Joe Bennett’s presence, just the store. This issue is typical of some of the books’ weaker installments of the last year or so - feels like well-done regular superhero comics instead of Immortal Hulk - but those last couple pages bring it back around.

Daredevil #28: Holy cow, those King In Black issues actually mattered. God this book is still so fuckin’ good in so many ways, everything every dumbass street-level superhero ‘deconstruction’ wants to be when it grows up.

Children of the Atom #1: Sucks real bad! This weird combo of ‘hip new young Marvel heroes!’ trappings and soulless X-Men lifer comics execution that feels certain to appeal to neither group.

Eternals #3: Of the listed Deviants I imagine I’d relate most to Annoyed Veug.

Commanders in Crisis #6: While I remain without the ability to weigh in on this objectively, this is the issue that to date most feels like it lives up to the promises of the series premiere.

The Wrong Earth: Night & Day #3: Little disappointed personally with the reveal of what the third world is - I assumed it was going to be more of a straight take ‘modern’ version to the other two’s flavors of throwbacks - but this series still rules. And that ending.

Home Sick Pilots #4: Okay, I think I can follow what’s happening at this point, still enjoying it.

Proctor Valley Road #1: I review these books in the order I present them to my dad since he likes DC/Marvel/Other to each be lumped together, but make no mistake: this is the last of the three Morrison books to read this week, because this is what comes next for them. A return to their roots - 70s kids way into music and dealing with the weird, girls adventure stories of the kind they apparently grew up reading - this feels like a refinement of their mid/late-00s Vertigo work in the same way they’ve been iterating on their superhero material for decades. The horror is sold excellently, whether by their own efforts or thanks to cowriter Alex Child this is their most fluid, ‘real’-sounding dialogue perhaps ever, and Franquiz with Bonvillain are instantly among their all-time best collaborators, perfectly capturing the shifting tone and character acting necessary to best put Morrison’s big ideas over in a way a number of their collaborators haven’t lived up to over the years (and speaking of the visuals, Jim Campbell does the lord’s work with that lettering trick near the end). Ritesh Babu and Sean Dillon have a lot more to say about the book and how it already acts as a darker, more honest take on your Stranger Things and the like as a commentary on its times, but I’m already loving to see this particular return down to Earth for Morrison and company and I’m glad to hear this is selling really well compared to their previous indie work.

Dead Dog’s Bite #1: This actually came out last week, but Ritesh recommended it so I figured it might be worth a look. A so far intensely low-key missing persons mystery with a touch of surreality around its edges, this already looks to be the best “look! A nine-panel grid! Fancy!” comic since Mister Miracle, really lived-in and emotional for as little happens in this debut. Very curious where it’s going.

Rorschach #6: I continue to like it.

Batman: Urban Legends #1: Glory be, a good Jason Todd comic - at last, you noble stubborn weirdoes living off of like six nonconsecutive panels all these years, you may lay down your burden. Not all you’d necessarily hope from Zdarsky tackling Gotham after what he’s been doing with Daredevil but rock-solid work regardless; the Harley story is fine, Outsiders is a letdown after Thomas’s shockingly good showing for them in Future State but it’s still fine, and the Grifter stuff is fun.

The Joker #1: I thought the advertised ‘a Joker story from Gordon’s POV’ angle was an interesting one even if I was concerned this book would in practice be pure editorial mandate, but in reality? Tynion has managed to pull the wool over DC’s eyes and do a full-on Jim Gordon book (one predicated with him being off the force to make it reasonably comfortable read in 2021) with Joker as the barest of pretexts to get it out the door and selling for as long as he wants to continue it. He even said in interviews that when the book was first pitched to him that his response was that a Joker solo book was a dumb unworkable idea until he had an idea for a ‘different way to approach it’, he knows exactly what he’s doing and I salute him. And it’s a darn good Gordon book even if the Punchline backup is predictably tepid, I’m in the tank for Gotham’s perpetual whipping boy dealing with weird noir international crime with Joker sort of hanging around in the background menacingly to justify the nominal premise.

Anonymous said: Hey, so I figure one random anon won’t change your mind, but like you I was disappointed by New Frontier’s immortal Wonder Woman, but I still got the new issue of Wonder Woman cause Wonder Woman at Valhalla still sounds great and I actually liked it! I think I’m gonna get at least the next issue, so there’s at least one recommendation for it

Wonder Woman #770: This combined with the store still putting it in my pile prompted me to give it a try after all, and whether because something here clicks better or if they’re simply not trying so hard without the pressure of doing a ‘final’ story for Diana, Cloonan and Conrad do in fact do substantially better on the main book than they did with Immortal Wonder Woman. Some fun, some fights, some mythology and intrigue, gorgeous landscapes and generous servings of beefcake from Travis Moore - this isn’t going to be sweeping the Eisners, but this is as enjoyable as a Wonder Woman comic has been in a good long time. My only concern is that the joyousness on display here might dissipate somewhat once Diana fully returns to herself, but in the meantime this was a very pleasant surprise (especially with the the Young Diana backup by Bellaire, Ganucheau, Goode, and Carey).

Superman #29: PKJ’s Superman thus far has been a story of overcoming initial worries of mine - in this case, my concern that he’d have a bad Scott Snyder-ey case of “if you’ve read the interviews you’ve pretty much already heard the dialogue of the comic verbatim”. In practice here most of what he’s had to say about these issues are distilled down really succinctly and poignantly in the midst of a fun little upper-atmosphere adventure portending something grimmer, and while I know it didn’t click with everyone I thought Phil Hester’s work here was a perfect accompaniment. The Tales of Metropolis backup wasn’t nearly as enjoyable, but hints at some interesting worldbuilding I’m hopeful will pay off in the main run.

The Green Lantern Season Two #12: The final Grant Morrison DC comic. One of two anyway, but if the next story I discuss is their broader final (non-Klaus, hopefully) statement on the superhero subgenre and a bridge to what they’re doing next, this is the one that’s about being The Final Grant Morrison DC Comic. A mélange of pretty much all their other DC finales into a shamelessly self-reflective meditation on the limits of what they can accomplish in shared universe storytelling where Green Lantern saves the universe through collective action and then fucks off to do his own thing elsewhere while the kids take over the ongoings. Weird and kinda perfect, and if nothing else this series took Liam Sharp from “really? This dude is drawing the last ever Morrison DC ongoing?” to “HOLY FUCKING SHIT LIAM SHARP”.

(The panel folks blew up over I think can be read multiple ways, but not in a ‘it’s open to interpretation!’ way so much as the storytelling/framing being unclear. I personally read it as ‘this is what neighbor versus neighbor looks like now’ rather than ‘calling someone a TERF or a Nazi is as bad as anything the other side does’, because oldster and out of touch though they may be I can’t see Morrison seriously saying that, especially after coming out.)

Wonder Woman Earth One Volume 3: At long last, after a hideous misfire kicking the series off and a second installment best described as ‘well, at least it wasn’t the first one’, this while not without elements I want to see femme and nonbinary critics discuss critically lives up to what you want to see out of ‘Grant Morrison’s Wonder Woman’. Big utopian fiction breaking the typical boundaries of superhero stories with aplomb in implicit conversation with a ton of their previous work, a bridge from what they’ve done to what they’re doing next, it’s an imperfect (especially with Paquette’s art, which while gorgeous and majestic in the way this story demands really doesn’t living up to the ‘acting’ necessary here in a way thrown into sharp contrast by Franquiz in PVR) but shockingly passionate statement of intent - if the last two volumes felt like Morrison struggling to have something to say with Wonder Woman in the same way they did with Superman and Batman, this feels at the close like them at last finding in her a way to do everything left with the cape and tights crowd they wanted to but couldn’t manage anywhere else under the Big Two umbrella. Odd and lovely, a fine sendoff.

The Lady in the Black Leather (Ch 21)

Catch up here [chapter 20]

Aiden x Scarlett, Graham McTavish, Reader

You, Aiden & Scarlett visit for a while, then Graham shows up with a pretty bouquet of brightly colored daisies and mums with a big sunflower in the middle of it, and a tray with two coffee cups and a brown paper bag in the other hand. He had a ‘get well’ balloon also for you, which was tied to the vase of flowers.

You giggle and thank him for them. He grins and sets the flowers and balloon down on the windowsill next to the ones from Aiden and Scarlett.

He comes and gives you a little hug and kisses your forehead. “How’s my girl doin?” he asks.

You grin, “Don’t let Rich hear you say that!” you tease.

He grins, “Well, me and Gwen laid claim to ya before Rich did, so he’ll have to just deal with it.” He says cheekily, making you giggle. “So, how are ya doin?” he asks.

You shrug. “Tired, my leg hurts, and I’m hungry.” you reply and grin when he sets a bag on the table and hands you a french vanilla cappuccino from the tray.

“Well, breakfast is here now, so at least ya won’t be hungry anymore.” He chuckles. “Don’t they have ya on pain meds?” he asks you.

“Yeah, but I told the nurse I didn’t want them till I had some breakfast in me. I’ll get them in a bit.” You tell Graham.

Grinning, you dig into the bag, seeing pastries like what Todd has delivered each morning. You look up at Graham. “Where did you get these from? They look like the ones Todd has delivered each morning at the shop!” you ask.

He grins. “I got them from the pastry shop that he gets his from. They asked why his shop was closed and then saw the note Rich left on the door this morning. They said to tell ye and Todd that they wish ye both a speedy recovery!” he says with a smile

You grin and take a bite of a strawberry scone and let out a happy little groan. “I love these ones! These and the doughnuts with the icing and the strawberry or cherry fillings! OOOooohhh they are the BEST!” you giggle.

There’s a knock at the door and a young lady is standing at the door with two big bouquets of flowers. “Excuse me Miss, but are you Harley?” she asks.

You nod. “Yes.”

She comes in and tells you, “These are for you. Where would you like them?” She asks.

Your jaw drops. One bouquet is two dozen red and pink roses with baby’s breath and purple lavender filler. The other is a bouquet of 6 yellow roses, brightly colored fuji mums and daisies that were colored brightly with food coloring.

Scarlett gets up and takes the bouquet of red and pink roses. She sets it down on the table and looks for a card. “Aaahhh! Here it is!” she says and hands you the card.

You open it up and see it’s from Richard. “For the love of my life. You mean the world to me, Sweetheart. I hope these brighten your day. I’m thinking about you & know I love you more than anything in the universe! Xoxo – Rich”

You grin and show it to Graham, Aiden & Scarlett. They all smile, and Scarlett puts the card back on the plastic stand and Graham takes the bouquet and puts it on the windowsill next to the other ones.

The delivery gal hands Scarlett the other big bouquet and then heads out to do more deliveries after you thank her for bringing them up.

Scarlett digs around in the bouquet and finds another card. She hands it to you, and you open it up to see it is from the Police Department that Alex, Todd and Jack worked for. It said, “Heard what happened, wishing you a speedy recovery! Our thoughts and prayers are with you! – Inspector Kathleen Walsh & your friends at the NYPD 19th Precinct.”

You look at Graham and Scarlett in surprise. “The police department sent me flowers?” Graham chuckles. “Apparently so Sweetheart!”

You shake your head in disbelief. “Well, that was nice!” you state.

They all nod. Graham takes the flowers and puts them on the windowsill as well. “You’re getting quite the collection, Sweetie!” Scarlett teases you.

You grin. “They’re making my room smell nice, that’s for sure!” you say, grinning.

Your doctor knocks on the door casing and then steps in. He talks with you for a bit and checks the wounds on your leg after shooing everyone out into the hall.

He asks you about all the scars on your legs and you explain they go all the way up onto your crotch. You tell him that the ones on your legs were from your last three boyfriends you had before meeting Richard. And you tell him the ones on your crotch were from the ex-boyfriend, Ben, who shot you. You ask him to make a note of you telling him that to put in your medical file. That you don’t want anyone thinking it was Richard who gave you them. You explain you never had reported the abuse from your ex boyfriends because of fear since the ex-boyfriends had all threatened you that if you told they’d go after you and your family. He nods in understanding and makes a note of it in your file.

He tells you that he doesn’t want you walking on the leg for a few days, and that you may use the crutches ONLY to get from your bed to the restroom in your room and then back to your bed for now. You nod. He asks if you need any stronger pain meds and you shake your head.

“I’m due for them when the nurse comes back with them. I told her I wanted to wait to take them till I had some breakfast in me first.” You reply.

He nods and tells you he will check in with you tomorrow morning then and tells you to have a good day.

Your friends come back in after the Doctor leaves and they have another two bouquets. You roll your eyes and giggle. “Now who are these from?” you ask.

Graham sets a small oblong flowerpot on the table with Hyacinths, tulips, daffodils and crocuses on the table in front of you. You grin and take a deep breath. “Oooohhh! Those smell wonderful!!!” you pull the card off the flower pick and read it. It’s from Captain Angel L. Figueroa Jr. & the NYPD 1st precinct and says: “Wishing you a speedy recovery, Harley! Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you recover!”

“Awwww! That’s sweet!” you say and put the card back on the flower pick.

Scarlett takes the planter and puts in on the shelf by the sink so you can smell them when people open the door to enter and exit.

The other bouquet is pink and white stargazer lilies and hot pink roses and lighter pink carnations with some greens. You look at the card and see it’s from Lee Pace. It reads: “Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope you and Phantom are doing well.”

“Oh! Those smell lovely too! It’s gonna smell like a flower shop in here!’ you giggle.

Graham and Aiden chuckle and Graham adds the flowers to your collection on the windowsill.

Scarlett looks at the time and nudges Aiden, who glances up at the clock and sees they need to get going to the studios. “We gotta get going, Harley. I gotta film some scenes this afternoon, and Scarlett’s gonna go check on the shop for you and Todd.” He tells you.

They both give you a hug and tell you they will see you later on. You wave goodbye and they head out.

The nurse comes in with your pain meds. “Are you ready for your meds, Harley?”

You nod and she gives them to you. You down them with your water and she makes a note in your chart on the hospital’s computer. Then she heads out after seeing if you needed anything.

You look at Graham and say, “Now what do we do?”

He chuckles. “Well, what would you like to do?”

You shrug. “I don’t know. Graham, can you tell me about your family? I don’t even know their names, you said your wife told you to tell me ‘welcome to the family’.” You said. “You must’ve been telling her about me.”

He chuckled. “Aye, Lass, I told her ‘bout you. How I met you, and how I was tryin’ to hook ya up with Rich. She wanted to see what ya looked like, so I sent her the pics I took.” He explained. “Didn’t want her worrying if the Papparazzi snuck photos of us when we all do stuff together.

Scarlet told me your parents died a few years ago and I mentioned it to Gwen… It was her idea, actually, to ‘adopt’ you, so to speak.” He giggled. Gwen is my wife. Our two daughters are Hope and Honor.” He tells you, “Honor was born in 2006 and Hope was born in 2012.” He says beaming with pride. “I’ll show you pics of them later.” He says. “They live in New Zealand where we have a house.” He tells you.

You look at him surprised. “I thought you were from Scotland, though?” you ask.

He chuckles. “I am, Lass, but I’ve lived all over the world. We decided to settle in New Zealand, though, after living there while we filmed The Hobbit.” He explained.

“Oh! I saw a lot of the bonus features on my Extended Edition DVD’s of the Hobbit. It looks absolutely wonderful! It’s on my bucket list of places to visit someday.” You tell him with a big grin.

He chuckles, “Well, Lass. I’m sure Rich wouldn’t bat an eye taking you to come visit us there. He loved it there as much as we did and considered buying property there, but he’s so busy with filming and such, he said he’d rather wait till he got older and started to slow down with work.” Graham tells you.

“Graham?” you ask.

“Yeah, Sweetheart?” he replies.

“I want to do something special for Rich, but I don’t know what to do. He doesn’t like to talk about himself, so trying to find out what kinds of things he likes, I’m finding is rather difficult. Do you think you could help me?” you ask. “I know he likes chocolate ice cream, wine, legos and reading. But that’s about it.”

Graham chuckles. “Yeah, he is an introvert and shy, so whenever people ask him personal questions, he tends to shy away from them.” He tells you. He gives you a few ideas of things Richard would like and suggests to just be observant, “You’ll learn more about him from just observing and listening, than from anything else, Lass.

He’s moody and grumpy sometimes, but don’t let it get to you. It’s just how he gets into characters he portrays. He’ll often take them home with him and struggle to let ‘em go. Maybe having you around will help ‘im with that, Lass.” Graham tells you.

“There’s so much I don’t know about the film industry.” You sigh. “I’ve never seen how one is made from start to finish. He asked if I’d come with him when he travels for the promotional stuff for the film too. I’ve never traveled very much tho. He said something about finding out the details for taking Phantom with too, so I’d feel safe.” You tell Graham.

Graham grins. “It would be nice for him to have ye with, Lass. I know I’d enjoy having you with us. My wife and kids don’t travel much with me. It’s such a long flight from New Zealand to the US and Europe that they don’t make it very often to join me for premieres. It’s a whirlwind of a time, and is exhausting, but it’s a lot of fun too. You get to meet a lot of people and just sit back, relax and talk about the film with interviewers. If you do come with, we’ll be sure ya are well taken care of.” He tells you.

You giggle and grin. “Graham, did you get my dress from Aiden’s? Don’t let Rich know anything about the dress. I don’t want him to see it or see me in it until he picks me up for the event! I want it to be a surprise!” you tell him.

He gives you a positively evil smirk and says, “Your wish, is my command, Sweetie. And yes, I picked it up from Aiden’s last night before I headed home. It’s in my closet in my bedroom, which he won’t dare go into. Scarlett said I should hang it up so it wouldn’t crease the velvet.” He tells you. “I’ll take ye to go have it altered to fit ye when they let ye outta here.” He says.

You grin and happily clap your hands. “I can’t wait!

Graham chuckles and rubs his beard, thinking.

“Graham, do you ever do Skype or Zoom or FaceTime your family? You’re always saying I remind you of your daughters.” You tell him. “I thought it would be nice to say hi to them and talk with them and your wife, if it was okay with you. I don’t know how the time differences work between there and here though.” You mention to him.

He glances up at the clock and you can see him working out the time differences in his head.

“Well, Lass, it’s about 1am there right now. Well, if ya can wait till around 3 or 4 pm our time this afternoon which should be able to give them time to get up and get ready, then we can give them a zoom call, we’ll say “Hi” and I’ll introduce ya to them!” he tells you.

“For now, though, what do ya want to do?” he asks. Phantom comes over and sniffs all the flowers on the windowsill and ‘wuffs’ at them.

“What? Don’t you like all my pretty flowers, Phantom?” you ask. He chuffs and comes walking over to your bedside. Graham smiles and gives him a good scratch. “Do ya need to go outside, Boy?” he asks.

Phantom gives a short yip and Graham stands up. “I’ll go take him out to do his business, then we’ll be right back, Sweetheart. Did someone take him out last night or this morning?” he asked.

“I don’t know. Maybe the officer had one of the nurses take Phantom out. You’d have to ask him.” You tell Graham.

He nods and clips the leash on Phantom after he adjusts the service jacket. They head out and Graham stops to talk with the officer. The officer tells him he had one of the nurses take Phantom outside when he needed to go to the bathroom, and she brought him right back up. He did say they played with the rope toy for a bit having a tug of war.

Graham chuckled. “All right. Well, we’ll be back in a bit.” He tells the officer.

II. ABOUT

ever since willow could remember, she knew she belonged somewhere extravagant; that she was amounted to greatness. she was born in edenton, north carolina in a dingy starter home with only a single mother to support her and her sisters. being the youngest of three girls, she had to face a lot of obstacles to get the acknowledgement she deserved and outshine any competition. this included her siblings. whenever they’d show any form of accomplishments, willow does everything in her power to one-up them - which, with enough drive, she eventually does. willow was known as little miss perfect in her small town. she’d bake cookies for her neighbors, helped fundraise for charities and made sure anyone caught in her radius recycled their wastes. she was pretty happy with her younger years until she got into her first relationship in high school where looks became a little bit more important than community service. ( tw : cheating ) her boyfriend was her everything. she loved everything about him. from that sexy strand of hair to those harley davidson boots he always wore. it was great, they were young and in love. but things got messy quick, as high school romances tend to do. when he was seen remotely close to any female figure, platonic or not, willow would imagine the worse. she’d always berate him every chance she got until he reached a boiling point where he angrily confessed he’s been sleeping with one of her best friends. her world after that shattered. willow became bitter and pushed away her remaining friends in high school. despite winning prom queen with honors to upstage her sisters, as she always does, she didn’t feel happy at all. she focused more on her looks, eventually finding satisfaction in social media. she gained a sort of comfort when they related to her posts in terms of heartbreak and made quite a following throughout the years with her style. one of her first followers, whom she eventually became close friends with, talked her into pursuing cosmetology. another got her into witchcraft. well, she was weary at first. regardless, she made a voodoo doll of her ex to test the waters but gave up midway when it didn’t look exactly like he did - or not nearly as beautiful as she remembered him - so she threw him out into a bin. a week later, the news reported found said ex in a dumpster, seconds away from being crushed by a garbage truck. it might’ve been a coincidence but she knew that power was something she needed to obtain. so she researched, practiced, and made use of it. willow, with her luck and witchcraft on her side, made otherworldly success. she became an ambassador for versace which popularized her social media and made her a socialite of sorts, had opportunities to style runaway models’ hair, and just recently opened her own professional hair salon located in kaos, greece. now she’s enjoying her time in the sun as much as she can before she moves on to the next thing - attempt to settle down with a lover. behind that well-spoken and mannered facade, willow is a force to reckon with. she may be childish at times, vain, and harsh; but she can be sweet when you least expect it, mainly for a purpose but who’s to know. she has little to no grip on reality, always living life as if it were a dream made in her creation. her arrogance proves it so.

what she lacks in self-awareness, she makes up for it in self-assurance. she’s driven in terms of her career and romance, always dancing between normalcy and obsession, so there’s little to expect from her. one thing’s for sure, she’s a luminous star above a night sky.

( platonic ) willow knows a lot - i mean A LOT - of people. she just so chooses to have a close circle that she keeps near and dear. a tight pack that really knows the real her and sticks to her side despite how much of a mess she is behind the cameras

( romantic ) back on willow knowing a lot of people, a majority of them have probably been romantically involved with her. although magazines exaggerate a lot, her relationship count is more or less accurate to what they print

( antagonistic ) a handful of people can see past her mask and probably hate her for it. there may be things she's said in the past that rub people the wrong way - just her real personality showing through, funnily enough. anyway, she has a big following online, it’d be a miracle if there weren’t any haters in the mix.

( wanted ) wishlist muse tag here, i will give my left kidney for these !!

How Things Change - Part 11 - Let The Wolf In

Warnings: Swearing, Slight smut, Think that’s it

Words: 3862

Characters: Stiles Stilinski, Scott McCall, Derek Hale, Peter Hale, Oc Alex, Theo Raken, Tracy Stewart, Mentions of Lydia Martin

Pairings: Stiles Stilinski x Alex (OC)

The pair walked through the building together, at least to start with. Until suddenly Alex picked up her pace significantly, taking off quickly in front of him. Meaning that Stiles had to jog to catch with Alex, as she began to rage walk her way out of the building. The door bouncing off of the wall as she marched outside. Stiles was calling her name, trying his hardest to keep his cool, but it was more than obvious to him that she was intent on completely ignoring him all of a sudden. Unfortunately for Alex, Stiles was beyond done with her ignoring him so that she could run off and be reckless somewhere.

He picked up his pace quickly ending up in front of her, grabbing her by her forearms and stopping Alex in her tracks. Alex was a little surprised at his movement, and it probably showed on her face.

Because Stiles' face changed from annoyed, and he looked much calmer almost the second he witnessed the look on her face, "Look, Lexi, I need you to listen to me. We really need to think about this okay. We need to be smart" Stiles reasoned as his thumbs rubbed at her arms gently.

Alex groaned in annoyance, "We don't have time to sit around talking all day Stiles, while we're standing here talking Scott and Derek are probably half dead. So I'm gonna go, you can stay here if you want! I have to go and rip some little bitches heads off" Alex seethed at the final words, shrugging him off and pulling out of his hold.

She stormed away from him, towards the house where she had last seen Theo and his rat pack, which just so happened to also be the place she had almost died. Alex briefly registered the angry growl behind her, but it grew louder as Stiles ran out in front of her again, which is pretty much what she had expected to happen.

Although a few things were a little different than she imagined, his eyes were glowing gold again and he immediately stepped into her personal space. Alex growled back at him she began to back up away from him anyway. While she wasn't scared at all she could practically taste the sudden dominance he was emitting, the obvious anger on his face sent a shiver up her spine, she quickly realised that she may have been a little too hostile with him.

Alex sighed his name, the guilt thick in her voice but Stiles was beyond pissed right now. He roughly pushed her back into the nearest brick wall, hands either side of her head caging her in between his body and the wall. "No Alex! I wasn't finished! If this is gonna work then we need to work together, not you just talking over me all the time and running anything I ever say down, we're supposed to be equals! You can't just keep walking away from me, this time you're gonna listen to me" Stiles fumed his hand slamming into the wall beside them.

Stiles took a deep shaky breath and Alex looked up at him, the guilt evident on her face, though she finally met his eyes again as he continued, "No more going in half cocked! I can't lose you, Alex! I won't. So if you could just stop being so self-destructive and think for just a minute, that would be great!" Stiles exclaimed, his voice thick and husky as he glared down at her.

Something changed in his eyes though, when he really looked at Alex properly, and he would have felt guilty but he just couldn't let himself, not this time. The only thing running through his mind was what had happened already in the last couple of days. So maybe if he stuck to his guns a little more this time, then she might understand how impulsive she was being constantly, and just maybe he could avoid anyone else getting seriously injured for a little while.

"You're right, I know that okay. And I am sorry, but Its who I am you know that it's just something that I can't change about myself" Alex sighed sadly looking at her feet, she felt Stiles move above her and looked up thinking the worst, that maybe he had left this situation and her.

Stiles hooked his finger under her chin, forcing her to look him in the eyes again, "Don't you ever think that I want to change you. I just need you to be a little more careful now, especially after what's happened" Stiles murmured the last part against her lips, as his fingers brushed his bite mark on her neck causing her to let out a small whimper. "What?" Stiles chuckled hotly against her lips, his nose nudging hers slightly.

"That felt oddly amazing" Alex revealed, one of her hands resting over his heart as she found herself blushing a little when his fingers brushed across the mark again.

Just as Alex found her mark on his neck and did the same, smirking with satisfaction as she watched him visibly shiver. "See told you so" she giggled but the giggle soon turned into a groan when he pressed her back into the wall, wedging his knee between her legs.

Alex's hands flew to his shoulders gripping tightly, "You smell so good" Stiles murmured as his lips travelled down her neck, and his hands gripped her hips rocking her back and forth over his thigh, making her feet leave the floor and leaving her completely under his control.

"Stiles, baby, please. W-we need to go" Alex panted half-heartedly, as her head dropped back against the wall.

Stiles groaned into her neck in protest, "How about I tell you my plan, and you enjoy the ride" Stiles mumbled sucking his bite mark on her neck.

"Fuck, okay. But as soon as you're done explaining we go" Alex agreed breathlessly, she caved easier than she would have liked, but he had her right where he wanted her and he knew it.

"Good girl" Stiles growled, pushing her down a little harder making her cry out his name, "So, I was thinking we go in quiet, take out anyone waiting outside the house. Practise our new wolfie hearing see if we can hear anyone inside, which I'm sure we will. Then we go in together and we do what we need to do to get Scott and Derek, and we do it together" Stiles finished pressing a kiss to her parted lips, feeling her body shake against his.

"S-sounds good, s-smart" Alex stuttered breathlessly, still clinging to his shoulders as if her life depended on it, looking him dead in the eye as she spoke, both of their eyes glowing gold on contact.

Stiles smirked lowering his leg and moving his hands to help her steady herself, "Glad you agree, so I guess we better get going" Stiles said quickly kissing her as she glared at him. "Hey don't look at me like that, you wanna go. Besides, I have a surprise for you" Stiles revealed taking her hand in his and tugging her towards his jeep.

"For the record I hate you. And you so owe me later" Alex grumbled, but she couldn't help the smile that formed on her lips as she followed him to his jeep.

"You love me really" Stiles smiled at her, as he popped open the back door of his jeep leading to the boot.

"Hey, wait a second" Alex murmured sadly, tugging on his hand. Stiles turned confused to face her and frowned when he noticed the tears rolling down her cheeks. "Just let me get this out, please I just need you to know before we go get Scott and Derek. I really am sorry, about everything. I really do love you, so much. That's why I'm so sorry about almost dying on you and scaring you like that, for me always charging around intent on doing everything myself, but most of all I'm sorry you got hurt, that you almost died and that you had to be bitten so you didn't die" Alex practically sobbed the last few words, looking over his shoulder and not meeting his eyes.

Stiles wiped the tears from her cheeks almost immediately pulling her into his chest, making her look at him again finally. "I love you too okay. So don't ever apologise for me being bitten, none of this is your fault, and in a way, I'm glad I was, otherwise we never would have known about the bond we have" Stiles assured her, his voice cracking a little as he spoke.

Alex pulled back and looked up at him, seeing a few stray tears falling from his eyes. "Are we gonna be okay?" Alex asked, her voice just above a hushed whisper.

Her hands tugging at his hoodie as she spoke, "Of course we are baby, we've got each other" Stiles replied his voice thick with emotion, Alex smiled a small smile, a smile which Stiles returned. Alex stood on her tip-toes, and tugged on her hold of his hoodie, pressing her lips firmly to his their kiss was slow and passionate. The pair pushing every emotion into the kiss they had ever held back until Stiles pulled back breathlessly to quickly for either of them.

Alex let him go as he searched his jeep for what he had been looking for, grabbing the two bats he handed one to Alex. She grinned taking the object from him with a much bigger smile than he expected, "I uh got these before everything happened, might be stupid now I just thought they could help" Stiles muttered nervously, shyly rubbing at the back of his neck.

Stiles locked up the jeep as Alex began swinging the bat around playfully, rotating her wrist as they started walking. "His and her's bats, I like it. Guess It's time to go kick some ass" Alex grinned their tears long forgotten.

Stiles smiled proudly over at her as they picked up speed a little, "Damn you look sexy. Guess I got my own Harley Quinn now then" Stiles grinned cheekily, knocking his bat off of hers.

Alex giggled at him as they neared the house, "You got that right puddin'" She winked putting on her best Harley voice, causing Stiles to groan which only made her laugh just a little harder.  

"I swear Lexi you're gonna kill me, but -" Stiles stopped mid-sentence, as Alex pushed him back around the corner when she noticed movement around the house. She pressed her finger to her lips and Stiles nodded, they padded around the corner quietly Stiles hot on her heels as they approached the house. "Somethings wrong" Stiles whispered, but Suddenly Alex was distracted, she'd heard a noise from the side of the house, quickly walking over to investigate, she could have sworn she had heard her mothers voice.

Alex turned to speak to Stiles as a rotten headache suddenly overtook her, but she stopped dead in her tracks when she noticed he was gone, Alex carefully stepped back into the shadows quietly calling out his name. But when she still had no reply from him she started to panic, how hadn't she heard anything. She knew that he wouldn't have just left her, her heart raced as she searched the area she had last seen him.

And then it happened one of her worst fears had come to light again, Alex caught sight of his bat coated in blood, a sob caught in her throat she knew it was a bad idea but she moved closer to get a closer look anyway, and as the street light shone on it, it revealed the bloody puddle beneath the bat.

Her crippling fear suddenly snapped something primal inside her and quickly turned to anger, it was like a bubbling itch beneath her skin, not knowing if he was okay or not.

She felt sick to her stomach as her head continued to throb painfully, dropping her bat beside his carefully. She growled deeply, letting them know she was coming, although Alex understood that they already knew that she would come for him.

Unable to stand the throbbing anymore she let the wolf take control, her eyes glowed bright gold in the darkness, as she all but ran to the door. Something in her eyes as she kicked down the front door, without a second thought for herself she stormed into the living room. Seeing no sign that anything had happened here since she had last been in here, except the droplets of blood, which Alex's eyes followed pushing down the worry, following the trail as it disappeared up the stairs.

She was light on her feet as she headed up the stairs following the trail, cringing at the creaking of the stairs. She focused her hearing the best she could with her lack of experience, catching snippets of conversation, along with at least one person groaning in pain.

Noticing the door was closed completely as she neared the top of the stairs, she just hoped that was a good sign, as she padded her way onto the landing and towards the door, that she knew they were behind. Alex quickly that the upstairs looked just as run down as the downstairs.

Alex could barely make out the voices, the main sound in her ears was the thudding of a heart, but it wasn't her own, which only left one person that it could be. She was obviously glad that he was still alive, but his heart was far from calm it was erratic and he was scared or really angry. It was hard for her to pinpoint an exact emotion in her own current state.

Once she reached the door she heard something behind her, she didn't have time to react as sharp claws sank into her neck. "Son of a bitch" Alex growled as she slumped to the floor, practically landing on her face. She didn't need to turn around anyway because she knew who and what it was.

Suddenly a rough hand grabbed her shoulder and pushed her over onto her back, "Your turn bitch" Tracy smirked as she bounced Alex's head off of the floor, knocking her out cold.

Stiles finally came to with a throbbing headache, he groaned in pain as his eyes struggled to focus. When he finally managed to lift his chin from his neck, it didn't take him long to assess the situation. Although he was clearly shackled to the wall, he turned his head to look around the room again, quickly noticing to blurry figures either side of him.

The figures finally came into focus when he shook his head again, "Scott?" Stiles questioned his voice rough and scratchy.  

Scott turned to his best friend sighing in relief finally seeing him awake, "You shouldn't have come looking for us dude" Scott whispered his eyes flicking to Derek on the other side of him. They were all in a very similar situation, both of them shackled to the wall just like he was.

"Forget that, have you seen Alex?" Stiles asked in a panic when he realised there was no sign of her. He was a little alarmed when he was met by two sets of wide surprised eyes.

"Wait. She's here?" Derek hissed angrily, levelling his eyes at Stiles accusingly, his shackles rattled as he leaned forward a little to look over Scott and glare, Stiles, his eyes burning bright blue.

"Do you even know her? Yes, of course, she's here" Stiles exclaimed with irritation, as he rolled his eyes at the older wolf. Inside though he was completely terrified, was she okay? He had no way of knowing and that was something that made him very uneasy at the least.

All of that was wiped from his mind when there was a loud thud outside the door, causing them all to focus on it. In all of his panic and confusion, Stiles hadn't been thinking about listening to anything beyond this room. Suddenly every muscle in Stiles' body went stiff, he could hear her heartbeat, it was slow and steady, and he quickly knew it was Alex who had hit the floor. His suspicions were confirmed when he heard loud obnoxious laughter, and the worry he had felt turned into seething anger.

He was incredibly focused now on getting free, Stiles pushed all his weight forward begging the chains to break. The growl that left his throat rivalled that of an Alpha's, as he fought with everything he had to get to her. Just as the door opened his eyes began to glow, although when he caught sight of Alex's limp body Stiles' anger faltered slightly.

Stiles wasn't paying Theo or Tracy any attention what so ever, the only thing he was focusing on was the love of his life slung carelessly over that scumbags shoulder. Theo was quick to shackle her to the wall on the opposite side to her mate and the others, as she began to come to.

"Don't touch her you son of a bitch" Stiles growled furiously, the chains clanging loudly against the wall as he fought to get to her. Both Tracy and Theo turned to look at the three of them, Tracy just laughed grabbing a knife from the table beside Alex. Theo just smirked but looked straight at Stiles.

"Alex had her chance to do as she was told and come with us, but she chose you and your pathetic excuse for a pack. She only had to listen" Theo sighed the last part mockingly as he stroked her cheek, before continuing still looking at Stiles, "So, now we either want you both to join us, or you can all die" Theo said so matter of factly, so seriously, that it made Stiles want to rip his throat out more than usual.

As Theo stepped towards him Stiles just rolled his eyes, "Go to hell! You complete waste of air!" Stiles grunted a little painfully, as the cuffs pinched at his skin. But something was beginning to work, as the chains creaked and strained against the wall. He struggled harder and harder as Theo got closer and Derek and Scott had joined him, struggling against their bindings with all of their strength when they caught sight of Alex.

Before Theo could speak again a groan from Alex distracted all of them, Stiles strained his neck to look over Theo's shoulder, completely ignoring him now which didn't go down to well with him. Before Stiles could utter her name he screamed, as white-hot pain shot through his body, as something sharp was stabbed into his thigh.

Alex's eyes shot open at the noise, and she lashed out at the nearest thing she could reach, her fist collided with Tracy's throat for once being shorter than the bitch helped immensely.

"No!" Scott growled, fighting to get to Stiles, but he couldn't quite reach him, although he would never kill them he did seriously want to hurt them both at that moment.

Tracy clutched at her throat finding it difficult to breathe with the sheer force of the hit. Spluttering a little as she dropped to her knees, "Get away from him you pathetic excuse for a werewolf, I'll never go anywhere with you" Alex spat in disgust. Causing her own chains to begin creaking as her anger increased, her eyes were locked on the knife sticking out of Stiles' leg and the blood running down from the wound. "I swear to god I will fucking kill you" Alex screamed, but she was quickly shut up when Tracy finally got up off the floor.

Suddenly Alex's face slumped into her neck as Tracy sank her claws in her leg, clawing her way to stand straight. Alex's growl was completely furious but she couldn't move and she could barely see now. "I think I owe you something" Tracy sneered suddenly, jamming her knife into Alex's leg.

Alex screamed through gritted teeth unwilling to show her how much it hurt, even when she continued to twist the knife.

Derek and Scott screamed for her to stop struggling against there chains to get to Alex, "You'll pay for this" Derek promised, as he and Scott both changed, anger increased tenfold.

Stiles, however, was eerily calm, even with Theo yelling in his face. He'd simply wrapped the chains around his arms, pulling them with every ounce of strength he had, this had seemingly gone unnoticed by Theo. But when he looked up Tracy was smirking at him, and she sank her claws into his shoulder. Stiles slumped against the wall, with a barely-there irritated growl, he was beginning to get sick of this.

Tracy smiled to herself as she headed back over to Alex, twisting the knife further, causing the boys to all kick off again only making her smile more.

Suddenly all ears pricked up as a scream echoed through the house, Stiles and Alex wishing they could clutch at their ears, while the others did. Stiles recognised that scream, it was similar to Lydia's but not quite as loud or as painful, thankfully, but there was no mistaking a banshee scream.

The door flew off the hinges landing at his feet as a pair of long slender legs entered the room, "Who the hell are you?" Theo demanded angrily, the beautiful woman rolled her eyes at him, ignoring him completely, she turned to Tracy. "I suggest you get your hands off my daughter you bitch" she growled and with a swipe of her hand, Tracy was flung across the room, body bouncing off of the wall, and she quickly uncuffed her daughter.

In the corner of her eye she saw Theo go to attack her, but before he could move she released Scott Derek and Stiles, catching her daughter in her arms and holding her tightly, brushing the hair from her face.

Everything happened at once Tracy lunged for Derek and Scott, but they caught her pinning her hands above her head against the wall. Stiles growled throwing his entire body at Theo with the little movement he had, but he could feel his body begin to respond as both of them skidding across the floor, fists flying at each other furiously.

"Mum? What are you doing here?" Alex asked wincing as her mother pulled the knife from her leg.

"Deaton called, I had to come and check on my girl didn't I?" she smiled tears rolling down her cheek.

"I missed you mumma" Alex smiled sadly her fingers beginning to twitch.

"I know I'm so sorry baby, I'm ba-" Suddenly her mother was cut off, with a cough, a hand clutching at her stomach, Alex frowned worried as her mother lowered her carefully onto the floor. Alex looked over her shoulder and saw Peter standing behind her with a bloody knife.

"I'm so sorry sweetheart, I had to" Peter shrugged looking at her mother seemingly emotionless, leaving as quickly as he appeared.

"Mum!" Alex screamed unable to move.

@sirbeepsalot Tumblr is being an ass and won’t let me answe your ask so we shall do it this way. You asked for all the dirt on Percy including why he calls Athena Doll and here we go it’s long (1228 words omg did I gush!) If you have anymore questions feel free to ask!

Percy, omg. Okay let me gush about my first and still favorite OC.

His full name is Duke Perceval Lennon Hunter of Winchester yea some tie ins there to Supernatural, his duchy is Winchester like my boys and his last name is Hunter cause why the fuck not? Using JDM as my faceclaim was my first thought and he shaped Percy a lot. Like his name.

Doll is 100% Percy. I was writing and he just starts calling Athena Doll, I don’t know where it came from and he doesn’t either. We talk and no it’s not weird I get in his headspace a lot, like Percy Reviews and so I really know what makes him tick, when he was asked in the fluff ABC’s he had no answer, he just felt the urge to call her Doll.

Percy had a good childhood until he hit fourteen, his mom found out about his father’s affair (yes you know her and it may come up at some point and it may be bad cause Percy really hates her) his father, Zachariah (again from Supernatural and he’s an asshole so perfect. I actually saw the actor who played him when writing Zachariah) refused to give his mother, Sandra (JDM’s mom’s name) a divorce because he wouldn’t let it affect his image. Sandra slowly fell apart and took her life, Percy found her, it was bad. Zachariah then didn’t want to deal with Percy cause rightfully so Percy hated his father so he got shipped to boarding school. His father’s actions and his mother’s death shaped him a lot. It’s why he was so angry at Liam for lying to Athena. He felt instantly drawn to Athena and in a lot of ways she reminds him of his mother and his mother was the only other person to ever call him Percy so it shows you how strong the connection was from first meeting that he told her to call him Percy. People have asked me numerous times why Percy hates Liam or Liam hates Percy and there is no reason to uncover. Percy hated Liam’s treatment of Athena and was afraid he was going to watch her fall apart the way his mother had and he would be powerless to stop it. Liam doesn’t like that Percy “wormed his way into Athena’s life”. Liam didn’t realize what he had done pushing her to the shadows could hurt her so much and therefore she may seek someone else, he just assumed if they couldn’t find Tariq he could have the perfect Queen and image and then Athena and Drake behind closed doors. WAW Liam was (is) an ass but he’s slowly learning in SOT.

Percy is bisexual, I know the way he spat some things about men and woman in Liam’s (and Leo’s) bed seemed like he had an issue with it but it was the secrets and the lies he had a problem with. He was upfront with Athena, but he also is monogamous and has zero wish to be with anyone else when he did date. Conquests will be coming I have a request for one and we’ll I have another pairing in mind, we already know he knows Leo very well.

Before Athena he had three serious girlfriend but the connection wasn’t really there with any of them.

He was a troublemaker and not someone to really follow rules growing up, he still doesn’t follow them all (playing hooky and convincing Athena to also) he and his best friend from boarding school Alex got in a bit of trouble and they also had fun touring Europe when they were younger.

Love of motorcycles especially Harley’s and he of course owns a 1936 Knucklehead and he can do any mechanic work on it. Yes he may be a Duke but he has zero issue getting his hands dirty. Oh his father would be rolling in his grave.

Percy is extremely down to earth and caring. He’s protective over the people he cares about and he does not like to make a big deal about his title, it was something he was born to nothing he earned. He has minimal staff at his estate and yes he can cook very well (I need to do a fic showing that). He considers himself a Duke of the people, he worries more about how his decisions affect those in his duchy than himself.

He’s an animal person period. Cats or dogs? Try cats and dogs. Horses, he will groom them himself.

He never thought he would find love so he never thought he would be a father but that is a major thing he looks forward to with Athena.

The proposal was very spur of the moment, he always carried his mother’s ring with him and was as if he heard her whisper on the wind that she was the one and not to drag his feet.

The kinks, oh lord that’s Percy and Athena. I’m pretty sure you all know about my certain kink pertaining to JDM and his characters well I had zero intention of that coming on board and then they kept whispering it to me. I was trying to push it back even further than I did but they weren’t having it. I’m pretty sure it’s a Cordonian man thing to like the rush of possibly being caught cause lord he meant it when he said every room of the manor. He is very dominant but he’s also caring and and can be gentle. He may be the dominant one but he follows Athena’s lead for the most part.

God he’s so perfect! I’ve been asked his flaws on multiple occasions and I sit and think for hours and let’s just call the fact that he has no flaws his flaw and be done with it! Even Athena calls him out on being too perfect during their interview so yea he’s too perfect that’s his flaw and I honestly don’t know how he ended up so damn perfect.

Percy was never meant to be endgame. Seriously, he was meant as a distraction. I put In Their Hearts on hold and started writing What Almost Was with the intention of ITH being endgame. But then I fell for Percy, Athena fell for Percy, Liam became an ass and no longer matched up with ITH so I said okay two routes at the end. I have the other final chapter of WAW I think I’ve let three people read it because they started to get cold feet with something they needed to write and it’s like I broke Percy you got this. I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t go through with the other route I had actual anxiety attacks over this character I created being alone it’s insane but I’ve reread the entire series twice and it now makes sense it was always their story even if it wasn’t the plan.

Percy is a pure ball of fluff. He is the character who showed me how to fluff, if he can’t turn angst around with his fluff you know it’s bad. He’s sweet and supportive and I love him. I’m so glad that so many of you love him too! I’m always happy to gush about this man, feel free to ask any direct questions about the perfect man. Lol.

Jack Kline-Supernatural

(In this Claire, Y/N and Jack (looks) are all 24 years old.)

"Look, twinny, Sam and Dean asked for my help, but I can't go, Jody and Alex need me here, so I want you to be there, instead of me and..." My sister said, looking over at me from her bed, I looked up from my book and shrugged.

"Why? I don't know them and I'm only helping you, with hunting, because I'm better at researching than you." I told her, closing my book and sitting up.

"Yeah, my very own Sam Winchester." She smiled bright as she packed a weapons bag.

"You know, I really hope this Sam Winchester is every bit as good as you make him out to be, because you compare me to him a hell of a lot." I told her as I began cleaning away my books.

"Sam is amazing, he's smart, funny and he looks out for Dean, the same way you look out for me. Y/N, you're everything to me that Sam is to Dean." She said as she walked over to me and gave me a hug.

"OK, Clare, you need to let go of me, so I can get going to meet your friends." I told her chuckling. She pulled away and took the books from my bed and placed them in the bag with all the weapon.

"OK, so in here, you have your books, guns, knives, iron, holy water and other things you could need. Here," she smiled handing me my bag. I took it and smiled.

"Can I change, I mean I'm in my PJ's" I laughed at her sudden rushing actions. She laughed and nodded, looking around and moving to sit on her bed.

I walked to my closet and pulled out some clothes and packed them in my bag before pulling out some clothes for my trip. I pulled on a pair of black ripped skinny jeans and a pair of black biker boots that had a bit of a heel to them. I grabbed an old 'Jack Daniel's' t-shirt. I left my hair in it's usual mess of blonde curls and pulled on a few bits of jewellery to piece the outfit together.

"OK, so you're meeting the boys..."

"At the address you gave me, I will call or text when I arrive and I will tell the boys hi when I see them." I smiled as I pulled on my leather jacket and grabbed my phone and keys.

"Y/N wait.." She called following after me as I left the room and walked down stairs where I found Alex and Patience setting up the table for dinner and Jody was bringing in food, pizza by the looks of it.

"You going then?" Jody asked as she handed me a slice of pizza.

"Yeah, she convinced me." I smiled pointing to Claire who smiled and shrugged.

"Y/N, you know about Cas, right?" Alex asked standing by Jody. I nodded and smiled.

"Yeah, Angel who lives in my dads body. I have seen photos and I know it's not him. Besides he may have paid a visit to me a while back, when Claire started hunting." I smiled sadly at her.

"What, why didn't you tell me, I..."

"He told me not to tell you, he said you wouldn't like it if you found out he had asked me to look after you." I chuckled throwing my arm around her shoulder.

"Fair enough," She laughed taking the Pizza from my hand.

"Right well, I best get going." I sighed putting my bag by my feet "Mama Jody, Alex and Patience, I'll be seeing when ever." I smiled giving each a hug,

"Claire Bear, stay safe, be good and keep these losers safe." I told her pulling her close.

"Look after yourself and tell Sam and Dean I said 'If you die in their care, I will kill them!" She joked.

"I will haunt there asses if they get me killed." I smiled pulling away and taking hold of my bag. "I promise, I will call you the second I get to the bunker." I reminded her. "Love ya Twinny." I called finally leaving the house.

I walked over to my bike, a black Harley Davidson I had rebuilt myself, and pulled my helmet on. I climbed on the bike, positioned my bag and I set off.

*Time skip to at the bunker*

I drove down the road, taking in my surroundings as the whipped passed me. I then spotted a small group of men, three to be exact. I road towards them and parked up and cut the engine. As I took of my gloves and started to remove my helmet.

"Look bro, who ever you are keep going, we don't know you and we're waiting for someone." the older one said looking behind me.

I removed my helmet and all the men looked at me. I chuckled and nodded at him. "Yeah, I know, I'm Y/N Novak, I believe you know my twin sister, Claire." I told him, climbing off my bike and holding my hand out.

"Y/N, it's nice to meet you, I'm Sam.." Sam started but I interrupted him,

"Winchester, I know, Claire talks about you a lot." I smiled, shaking his hand. He looked at me confused so I chuckled and explained.

"Well, according to her, I'm you." I told him, "I left college to keep my sister out of trouble, I'm what she calls 'Sam smart' meaning I'm the one with the responsible, research brains." I joked making him laugh.

"And your Dean, Claire likes you. You're good with 'Kicking ass' but you're not one for thinking before you...fight." I continued, turning to face Dean who was eyeing up my bike. "You're both equally brilliant on your own, but you're stronger and safer together." I smiled.

"Where did you get the bike, how did you afford a bike like this?" Dean asked, walking passed me and began admiring my ride.

"Two years working in a diner and a book store, Then two years at a bar and hunting and the last year I spent working with Jody." I began, "I bought the frame when I turned 16 and gradually built the bike. Took a couple years, but now my baby drives like a dream." I finished.

"You built that?" Cas asked from behind Sam, I turned and smiled.

"Yeah, Claire and the girls didn't know about this stuff, so I was left to do it on my own and now...isn't she a beauty." I grinned proudly.

"By the way, it's nice to see you again Castiel." I smiled walking over to him and he smiled, pulling me into a quick hug.

"You know Cas?" Sam asked, watching the interaction between the two of us.

"I met with Y/N after I met Claire, I wanted to make sure Claire was OK while hunting and I asked Y/N to look out for her." Cas informed them. "She is a little more responsible then Claire."

"Well, OK then, Shall we head inside?" Sam asked, I nodded and smiled over at Dean.

"You want to ride it, don't you?" I asked looking at him, his eyes widened and he nodded, still not pulling his attention from the bike. "Here, bring her back in one piece." I told him throwing him my keys, which he caught with ease.

"Seriously?" He asked surprised.

"Sure, just know, if you harm her in anyway, I get your car." I threatened.

"Well, that's not happening." He mumbled.

"I hear you drive a Chevy Impala, What year?" I asked him, watching as he climbed on my bike.

"67." He answered.

"A Classic." I smiled as I turned and followed Sam as he lead me inside.

"So, What do you need my help with?" I asked looking around the place, taking in my surroundings.

We were stood in the middle of a huge room, filled wall to wall this books, photos and other cool stuff.

"We have a...let's say kid...that needs your help." Cas told me.

"OK, with what?"

"Fitting in to the world." Sam smiled. Just then a third voice spoke, pulling my attention to tall, handsome boy, about my age, who was stood by a door way.

"Who is this?" He asked.

"Jack, this is Y/N, hopefully she's here to help you become a little more...human." Sam said.

"Wait, he isn't human?" I asked looking the guy up and down.

He was tall, blonde and extremely attractive. He looked like any other human, except he looked...almost perfect, there were no flaws in his appearance, like he was made by god himself.

He watched me with the same amount for curiosity in his eyes.

"I am half angel, half human, my mother was human and my father is lucifer."

"Your dad's the devil! How...fun for you" I told him and looked over at Sam and Cas.

"So, what does he need help with, he seems OK to me." I shrugged.

"Well, he isn't as old as he looks, we've thought his the basics but I thought Claire, or in this case you could teach him how to be...young." Cas explained.

"Well, what do you want me to do, take in to a bar, get a tattoo he'll regret in ten years? I haven't exactly had the most normal young adult life Cas." I told him sitting down at a near by chair, Sam, Cas and Jack following suit.

"We're not asking you to be a reckless teen, just teach him how to be a normal human." Sam offered.

"How?" I asked.

"Just get the kid laid." Dean yelled as he walked into the room.

"Yeah, cos that will be heard, look at him, he's freaking gorgeous!" I laughed pointing over at Jack who turned his head to the side a little in confusion.

"OK, how about we start simple...TV." I told him taking his hand and leading to a hall then stopped, looking over at Sam who laughed and pointed me in the right direction.

I entered the room and sat Jack on the couch, grabbing the remote and sitting next to him.

"So, tell me, have you seen anything on TV yet?" I asked as I switched the TV on.

"I watched something about, a talking dog, a sponge who wears pants and something called...porn." He explained and I almost choked on thin air at his last answer.

"Why doesn't that surprise me with Dean around." I mumble and flicked through till I found nothing do I turned on Netflix that was set up and looked around.

"OK, so there is lots to watch on here, my suggestion, read the plot here and if it sounds interesting, watch it, if not, look at something else." I shrugged and handed him the remote. He nodded and concentrated on the TV, leaving me to sit quiet where I watched him curiously.

"So, how old are you really?" I asked curiously, he shrugged, keeping his eye on the screen as he flicked through.

"Close to a year now I guess." he told me, my eyes widened n surprise but kept quiet until I noticed the TV settle in to a channel. A channel playing porn I jumped up and grabbed the remote and quickly switching the channel over and turning to Jack who looked at me curiously.

"What was...?"

"Jack, we don't watch porn...not unless you are on your own." I told him and flicked the TV until Doctor Who's theme song played and I jumped around a little excited.

"OH, this one's good Jack. It's about and alien time traveller who travels through time and space, with a friend, fighting other aliens and saving planets." I explained as I took a seat next to him. He nodded and his attention turned to the TV and for a while we sat in silance and watch TV until my phone buzzed

I opened my app to see a text from Claire

Evil Twin : Hey, did you get there OK, is everything OK?

The Better Twin : Yeah I'm fine, sorry got put streight to work, I'm fine, the boys are fine and I made a new friend

Evil Twin: Oh..

The Better Twin: Yeah, his name is Jack, he's half human half angel and Cas asked me if I would help him act a little more...human

Evil Twin: Send a pic!!!

I turned my camera on a took a photo, with out him seeing and sent it to her

The Better Twin : 

Evil Twin: Wow, Your new friend is hot!

The Better Twin: I KNOW!!

After a little while of texting Claire, we had watched a few episodes of Doctor Who and had set up a Instagram account for Jack who kept posting photo of the two of us and we went for a walk, where we took photos of this which we thought were pretty interesting.

I was sat, in a tree, looking over the trees when I spotted Sam walking, looking around slightly worried. My phone rang and I laughed a Sam looked up, panicked.

"Y/N what are you doing up there? Wheres Jack?" He asked and I pointed to a tree near by where Jack sat, smiled like a kid.

"Hi Sam!" He called, Sam laughed and shook his head

"Will you to get down here?" He ordered, I nodded and Jumped, not being to high in the tree, landing on my feet and smiled up at Sam who towered over me. Jack appeared next to me and we both smile wide as Sam rolled his eyes and turned, walking back towards the bunker.

"I thought you were teaching him about young adult life?" Sam quizzed and I nodded.

"I was, right J?" I asked he nodded.

"Yes, Y/N has introduced me to Doctor Who, she had helped me on Social Media called Instagram, she has showen me how to take photos to post on instagram and she was just showing me why she liked sitting in trees." Jack told him as we entered the bunker.

"you picked all that up in one day?" Sam asked surprised.

"Oh yes, Y/N/N is a very good teacher, I could listen to her all day." He smiled over at me, coursing me to blush a little.

"Really? Wait...Y/N/N?" He asked turning to face us.

"Yes, it is a nickname, Y/N says people give them to other people who they a close with, She is my friend, we are closer therefor, I gave her a nickname. Y/N/N" Jack explained "And she calls me J." He smiled,

"Yeah, he is in my phone under JackAttack though." I smiled as I sat down at the table when I noticed the pizza boxes. "We Having Pizza?" I asked and Sam nodded.

Jack sat next to me and smiled as I pulled open a box and squealed in excitement when I notice they had my favourite pizza toppings.

"I asked Jody what you'd want." Dean said as he walked in and handed Jack and I a beer.

"Oh thank god." I sighed as I opened the bottle and took a sip. I noticed Dean watching me and I smiled, pulling the bottle from my lips.

"I like a beer with my pizza." I shrugged as I picked up a slice and bit into the cheesy goodness humming at how good it was, making the boys all laugh before they tucked in.

* 2 Months Later *

I woke up and climbed out of bed, the cold hard floor sending shivers from me feet and up my back.

I'd been living with the boys for about two months now and it was starting to feel like home. I was always with them, hunting and joking about. I had spent a lot of time with Jack and about a month after I got here Jack asked me on a date and we've been dating ever since.

I grabbed my jacket from the hook and wrapped it around me, opening the door and walking to the kitchen. I spotted Sam and he chuckled as I shook my head and slumped into the chair next to him.

"Coffee?" He asked and I nodded

"Please." I spoke quietly, still half asleep.

"You and Jack have fun?" He asked as he placed a coffee in front of me and I shrugged.

"Yeah, ho told me he wanted to ride my back, so I let him, he's getting better." I told him as I took a sip of the hot coffee.

"So, when do you leave us?" He asked sitting down, I rose my eyebrows and frowned "Not that I'm bothered if you stay longer, it's been nice having you here." He quickly added, I laughed and shrugged.

"Well, I was gonna stick around for a while, I'm not done teaching Jack and..."

"I just thought you might be missing your sister." Sam intterupted.

"I do, but Jack and I are just started dating and I like being here and I've felt so at ease and useful, back at Jody's I'm not really all that useful and they never really let me help out on a hunt because Jody, Claire and Alex usually was enough." I explained, "Being here has made me a better hunter and you guys helped me out a lot."

"So, you want to stay?" I heard Dean ask from behind me, making me jump. I turned and shrugged.

"I don't know. I mean if I go back, it'll go back to the usual 'Research and stay behind' life while here I get to hunt, fight and have a real good time doing so." I told him, making him chuckle a little.

"Why don't you speak to Claire about it, maybe she can give you a better idea of what to do." Sam told me and I nodded.

"You're right, she'll tell me what to do." I laughed as I stood and began walking out when my phone buzzed. I looked to see a text from Jack and smiled.

Jackattack: BORED!!!

Y/N/N: Well, what do you want me to do about it?

JackAttack: you could come see me and watch some TV?

Y/N/N: Be in soon.

JackAttack: YEYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

I chuckled and stood from my seat, washing my cup and I walked towards where the bedrooms are. I stopped at Jack's room, next to mine, I knocked. Knowing he was awake I walked in and smiled as he looked up at me.

"I just finished the last of the Doctor who...I am now watching something called Sherlock." He informed me, pointing at the laptop that sat on his knee. I chuckled as I walked over and sat on his bed, curling into his side, his arm around me and watched with him, my head resting on his shoulder, for a while until there was a knock at the door and in walked Sam and Dean.

"Hey, look we have some visitors." Sam told me, a slight smile on his face. I lifted my head and looked over at the door and Dean smiled.

"Oh, yeah, you should get here quick and see what we're seeing." Dean called. I shook my head and put my head back on Jacks shoulder, going back to watching the screen.

"Well, what is going on here?" I heard a familiar voice and I looked over to see Claire and Alex stood smirking at me.

"OH MY GOD!" I yelled as I quickly, but carefully, climbed out of bed and ran over to my twin sister.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked pulled Alex into the hug too.

"Well, we were on a hunt close by and I figured why not come visit you and the boys, see what you were up to." She told me as she peeked over at Jack who sat and watched, curiously.

"and what have you been doing?" Alex asked as she waved over at Jack who smiled and waved back.

"More like who have you been doing?" Claire joked, smiling. I shook my head and turned to Jack.

"Jack, this is My sister Claire and our...other sister Alex." I smiled. Jack smiled and he waved.

"It's nice to meet you, I would get up to say hello, but I'm in my underwear and..."

"J, don't make the situation worse, they already think we're sleeping together." I told him and he looked over at my sister and Alex who where laughing.

"But we have, numerous times?" He questioned looking over at me confused.

"Wait, you what?" Sam asked, shocked.

"That's not what he ment you idiot." I told Sam and turned back to Jack. "J, honey she ment sleep together as in sex." I explained and he nodded.

"Yeah, no we've not done that" He nodded before turning back to his laptop. Sam let out a chuckle.

"So, Y/N, I know you want to talk to Claire and Alex so, I'll let you guys have a chat." He told me as he grabbed Deans shoulder.

"Do you wanna go to your room?" Claire asked looking a little worried and I shrugged.

"No, I'm fine here." I told her walking back to Jacks side. I climbed into the bed, letting my head fall to Jacks shoulder as I did. He shifted a little and turned to place a kiss on my head.

"So what's going on here?" Claire smirked. I shrugged and Jack spoke up.

"Y/N/N are dating, we have been for a month now." He informed her, not taking his eyes off the TV.

"So, Sam said you wanted to talk to us?" Alex questioned, sitting on the end of Jacks bed.

"Well..." I began and I looked up at Jack who smiled down at me.

"Look, I have a situation and I need your help to figure it out?"

"Ok, what's going on?" She asked

"Look, Claire, I love you, I do, but the past couple of months I had started thinking maybe I could stay here?" I told her, she stayed quiet for a second and I looked at her.

"Why?" she asked

"I just feel needed here, I get be apart of something I never did back with you guys and Jody." I told them. "I mean I love you guys and I loved doing all your research, but here I get to hunt, I get to be out in the field." I explained

"But...we're a team, we..."

"I know, that's why I needed to talk you guys about it." I told her and she nodded.

"Well, I think you should stay." She smiled.

"You do?" I asked a little surprised.

"I do." She smiled. "Y/N, you're a grown women, you can do what ever you want." She chuckled. "and if you're happy here I'm happy you're happy."

"Thanks." I smiled, leaning over, giving her a tight hug which Alex joined in on.

"What's going on?" Jack asked

"I'm staying here!" I smiled looking up at him.

"Really?" He asked, sounding both shocked and excited.

"Yeah, I've been thinking about it for a while." I told him and he smiled, ducking down and kissing my lips softly.

"Awwww!" Claire gushed.

"Sam, Dean, I'm staying here!" I shouted, knowing full well they were listening.

"Good, I was ready to kidnap you and tie you up until you said you would stay." Dean chuckled as he came into the room.

"Claire, you can stay here when ever you want." I told her and she nodded smiling.

"Good, Cos I'm tired." She laughed as she walked out Jacks room.

"Alex you're staying with Claire." Sam smiled pointing to the door behind him.

"IN Y/N'S ROOM!" I heard Claire shout from my room.

"I guess I'm staying here with you!" I chuckled to Jack who nodded.

"Fine by me" he smiled

"So, what are we doing today?" Sam asked and we then spent the next hour deciding on what we're going to do with our day, a day with my sisters, my boyfriend and my weird older brother like roommates.

Letter 11

December 18, 2011

Dear Maggie,

My students were absolutely ecstatic with the last round of letters. That was a great idea of yours to get them to make collages. You can bet that you’ll be receiving more colorful letters in the future. In the spirit of responding in kind, I’ve included a photo of myself as well. It’s me with my first motorcycle that was all my own—bought it for college and drove it down the coast far too often (more info on bikes in the letter). Please ignore the grease-stained t-shirt… As it turns out, I have very few photos of myself from recent years. Also, how do things seem to be going with Chima and Alessandro on your side of the Atlantic?

Some brief updates/thoughts/responses to your points:

Because of your letters and talk of your favorite dessert I had this grand idea of attempting to make tiramisu. I did not realize how ridiculously complicated it could be to make a cake. Needless to say I didn’t get very far past googling the recipe. I did end up making crepes! They’re pretty much like pancakes so it wasn’t too hard or anything. Only one smoke detector was harmed in the process.

I totally get what you’re saying about being lonely…. remember that whole “desperate need of socialization” thing? At least you’re going out and meeting people! As for me? Well, Kara once said that I have to meet someone ten times before I actually warm up to them. In the moment I thought she was just being a jerk, but I think she might be a little right? Though I also think it’s not a bad idea to wait to trust people. After all, the world is full of shitty people. Sorry, that got a little bleak. Anyway, I think we’ve exchanged at least 10 emails/letters, so make of that what you will. Just know you can always talk to me about stuff… if you need/want to, I mean.

I didn’t realize you and Taylor were such good friends in undergrad. I may have done some Facebook stalking and there are some truly excellent (read: embarrassing) photos. Personal favorite: you and Taylor circa 2009 going as each other to a Halloween party.

Re the bike question: My dad and I used to restore bikes when I was younger. Or, more truthfully, he did while I handed him tools. Turns out I learned some stuff along the way, though. I currently have my hands on a used Harley, but I’ve got my sights on saving for a Ducati once I actually have some sort of postgrad income. I know they can be a bitch to maintain, but first loves die hard, and it’s the first bike my dad and I worked on. Plus I’m sure you can second my appreciation of Italian craftsmanship.

Glad your bonsai is ok.

Maybe we should see if the kids want to email each other too? I think snail mail is great (how else can we get collages?), but I’m getting the sense that some of them want to talk to each other more than once a month. I’ll ask during our next session and let you know. If you think it’d be too much work for your students, since I know they’re not writing in their first languages, that’s okay too.

Let’s work out a time to Skype soon? Taylor wants me to do a brief write up and presentation for our quarterly presentation to the funders. Apparently this project has gotten a lot of people excited.

Talk to you soon, Sawyer.

Best, Alex

Silver Screens

CHAPTER ONE       CHAPTER TWO

“Chapter 3”

 I woke up to the feeling of my bladder bursting and I groaned because this is one of the best nights of sleep I've ever had. After dragging myself out of bed and into the bathroom I looked at my phone and it was 2 in the afternoon. I took a shower and wrapped myself in a towel. I walked in my closet and picked out some jeans a random t-shirt and rolled with it. After getting dressed I decided to leave my wet hair as it is and made my way to the kitchen.

I looked out the window and it looked like a sunny day but probably cold since it was like January. I called out, “Does the parentals know i’m here”

Friday answered, “Yes they are aware that you made it here last night”

I just sarcastically stated, “yay”

When I reached the kitchen it was spotless. I was pouting a bit because I was hungry and I knew it was 2:00 Pm like lunch time soon but with Tiny we  usually order breakfast and shove leftovers in the microwave or the fridge. Never really had the time to deep clean shit. I looked in the fridge and saw there were muffins and a plethora of other stuff.

I just felt like a basic bitch and took out some cereal and milk. The cereal was in the fridge for some reason. I have no idea why but i’m hungry so I won’t question whatever's going on there. After making my cereal I sat down and started working because that's who I am.

Besides I didn’t bust my ass for nothing  getting 3 masters and 2 phds for nothing. I shoved cereal in my mouth while looking at the technological designs some of the interns needed some help with. I was deeply into eating and working so when someone said “Hey Alex”

I grunted out a greeting while manipulating some of the figures on the hologram. Why was it taking me so long to finish this damn. Yeah it's a really advanced piece of technology which would take a while but come on man.  I looked away from the hologram for a minute and saw it was Peter standing there.

I quirked up an eyebrow and asked, “Do ya need something?”

Peter bounded towards me excitedly and said, “Alex your here”

I looked back at the hologram and got a eureka moment. I love it when that happens.  

I responded back, “Yeah why”   

I knew what I had to do but ‘i've been sitting here since 2 pm and it's currently 6 pm.

I mean I could take a break but this moment is important. But family is important as well and I really want to hug him. I closed what I was doing and got up from my chair and hugged him.

I could tell that he was crying a little and so was I. Yeah I might’ve grown up with nannies and babysitters but Peter, Morgan and Harley were close to each other. Whenever I felt alone I just went to them. I mean I was the first one Peter Told about him being spiderman. I was in England at that time but I was there.

After pulling apart I then said, “Hey peta since your so smart can ya help with me something”

Peter thought for minute, “How long have you been sitting here’’

I groaned, “Stop judging me and helppp”

Peter snickered and pulled me out of the chair and put me on his hip.

“Wait nooooooo” I giggled

“Hmmmm, I think we need a movie night” Peter grumbled amused 

I snickered and when we reached the living room I saw my parental figures standing there. Before I could say anything my phone rang and I looked at the caller ID. It was Miles, the only time he calls me is when he did something stupid and I need to go dimension hopping to fix it with me being a Master of the Mystic Arts and Spider powers. Yeah don’t ask it’s just how it is. 

After picking up the call, “Miles quickly explained that the sinister six were messing crap up in the city and he couldn’t defeat them alone. The others were dealing with their own crap.

“Miles I'm coming, give me like 10 minutes” I spoke frantically to the phone.

“Hey Peter want to go on an adventure with me” I said while getting off of peter

“Yeahhhh sure what do you want” He stated confused

I just mumbled “Arachnid” underneath by breath and Peter's eyes widened.

What that means is that one day when I was in New York with Peter both of us decided to give codes for emergencies that we can’t tell our parents. Both of us won’t question it when we say these words and we just go no matter what. The words for peter were, “Arachnid” and for me “Magic”. 

I said to him telepathically, “Make an excuse because god knows I can’t right now”.

He then said back to me, “I suck at making excuses”.

I blurted out, “I’m on my period and I need Peter to come with me to get pads because its been awhile”.

Peter's face turned red but I grabbed his jacket and dragged him to my room while my parents looked at me in shock.

I quickly shoved him in my room and locked the door. I grabbed my jacket and grabbed an extra portal thingie from my back.

I looked at Peter and threw him the extra spidey suit I made just for dimensional traveling. I may be 15 but I'm not an idiot. He looked at me with surprise and he put it on while I snapped my fingers and my own suit came on.

“You have spider powers”  He squeaked 

“Yeah that’s a bit complicated, promise i’ll tell you later” I stated then pressed a button and we were going through a colorful portal because it does be like that sometimes. 

After reaching there I saw it looked like chaos in Manhattan and god knows where. I barked out some orders too Peter and he nodded. After a tiring four hour battle me Miles and Peter collapsed in his dorm room

“Holy shit that was intense” Peter breathed out exhausted

“Yeah I know” Miles breathed while shoving his mask off

Miles sat up while running his hands through his hair, “Hi, I’m Miles Morales, Sorry to bother you about all this”

“Nah it’s alright besides I did not know I was going to be here in an alternate universe fighting an octopus and other weird villains but it do be like that”. Peter spoke amused

I choked out an “Amen” while chucking at the absurdity of this situation

“Well I’m hungry and all of us have freaky fast metabolisms so lets get some food or I can cook it” I inquired questiongly 

Peter and Miles looked at each other and then looked back at me “We want your food”

I snickered and got up from the floor cracking my knuckles,”Alright bitches lets gets cooking”

~line break~

All three of us were on Miles' bed, basically bunched up together on the bed with a food coma.

Peter groaned,”That food was amazing and delicious how is it this good”

MIles mumbled an agreement

I snickered, “A lot of practice dude”

We soon were laying on the bed watching some random movie while idly chatting together. I calculated the time in my head since different worlds and what not but it was currently midnight over there. 

“Peter we gotta go” I yawned exhausted

Peter groaned in agreement and we soon wish Miles farewell with both of us promising we would come soon.

In 30 minutes we were back in our room where only an hour  passed . I could do that because I’m really powerful and all. Peter looked a little green but you get used to it after a while. 

I thought outloud amused,”Dude I actually do need the pads and stuff”.

Peter looked at me bright red, “Seriously”

“Yeah let’s go” I said giggling

Peter took my hand and we walked out of the room looking sheepish

All our parental figures were looking at us so confused but me and Peter just soldered on. We went in the elevator and slowly watched the elevator door close. Then we both turned to each other and burst out laughing.

Before leaving I made sure I had my bag and we stopped by Peter's room to get his things too. We ordered an uber and made our way to the mall. Yeah we were going to get pads and stuff but you know I was in the mood for shopping and I just dragged my lovely older brother Peter with me.

I texted Harley as well and he said he was going to meet us there.  I was really excited because its been a while since the golden trio got together. After getting in the uber, me and Peter were catching up with what was going on these past few months. I usually make a point to at least text him but with time zones and our busy schedules we don’t really get the chance to talk to each other. It kind of sucks but we usually make a point to meet each other rin person at least twice a month. Yeah I might have a rocky relationship with my parents but my siblings were really close.

It took us an hour to reach  the mall because of New York traffic. I was trying to convince Peter to just let us portal there but Peter was adamant to give me the “full new york experience” I moaned and groaned but went along with it. Before we left  we made sure to get some kind of disguise since we were the children of the rich and famous. I magiced us to look not like Peter and Alex but different people.

Me and Peter finally got out of the car and made our way towards the mall. Apparently, Harley was going to meet us at the food court. I was hungry anyway.  

Soon we finally made it there. When I saw Harley I rushed over to him and he hugged me. Both of us were crying and laughing. 

When the blipped got unblipped Harley and Peter never got the chance to be with me since I was getting crazy busy over graduation and the parents needed them for other things or something. We usually called each other a lot.

After doing the whole dramatic meeting spiel all three of us went our way through the mall laughing. We went to different stores and I got all my supplies while educating Peter and Harley as well. I was bored and it was funny to see them squirm. Soon all of us were carrying bags and bags of things. Harely summoned Happy and soon all three of us were in the car giggling and laughing.

I was waiting for Morgan because this morning I think she went to ballet. I didn’t ask. Happy was his same old grumbly self. Old man is just like that, I mean he and Rhody were the ones that were there for me the most. 

While we were animatedly talking to each other, we were blissfully unaware of what was going on at home…………….
