Going Home in a Box: Chapter 75- Teaser
“Are you sure you’re up to this?”
Maybe not but between getting stuck with his thoughts and having a distraction, Sunny would eagerly choose to throw himself back into caretaking and forget he existed. Especially since he was in for a treat tonight.
So, not even two days after the disaster that they weren’t going to talk about anymore, Foxy came by on Jeremy’s behalf and asked if Sunny would be up to watching his little group of animatronic children. Including the adorable Minireenas.
Freddy had noticed that something was off with Sunny that night. He had even asked, but Sunny didn’t want to open up about what was bothering him. He didn’t want to think about it.
But Sunny had eagerly agreed and assured Foxy to pass on the news to Jeremy. Tonight was the night and any minute now Jeremy would be coming in with his slew of little mechanic tots. He was ready.
“Sure am!” Sunny said with that confidence he only had when covering.
Jake didn’t press. He knew that they needed this tonight. The last few days- the last few quiet nights- had been practically unbearable. It was good to see Sunny a little perked up, even if some of it was acting.
Then the moment arrived. Marionette entered the daycare in an elegant purple and red coat and helped lead along a large laundry cart that Jeremy and Natalie were pushing from the back. Sunny took some amusement seeing that the blond had dropped most pretenses and was now actively assist in smuggling in their playmates. They wheeled it up as close as they could to the slide.
“Alright. If you need anything, just buzz me,” Natalie affirmed, tapping on the radio on her belt. She then hurried off back to the lobby before anyone could wander up and catch her in the act.
Jeremy waved after her while Marionette gave a chime of farewell before pulling out the first of Jeremy orphans- a small rabbit animatronic who stuck his arms and legs out while being lifted.
Just the sight of the little guy filled Sunny with reignited excitement, and he plunged into the ball pit. As he did, Jake stepped out onto the balcony to take his place, noticing the arrival of the others.
“Hey, guys!” he called with a wave.
“Hey!” Jeremy returned with a wave as well.
“Good evening!” Marionette called back. He came over to the wall to see him better, still toting Plushtrap cradled in his arms. “Thank you for having us.”
“No problem. Cool jacket!”
“Thank you!” Marionette chimed with delight.
Plushtrap fussily patted his arm and pointed towards the slide. His teeth chattering with anticipation.
“Oh, alright, alright,” Marionette said with a tinkling chuckle. He then leaned down and set Plushtrap carefully into the slide. “Brace yourself. There’s a little drop into the ball pit,” he forewarned.
Plushtrap nodded, and Marionette gave him a gentle push, sending him down the colorful slide.
The little rabbit was fully expecting to plop down into a ball pit. He was not expecting to drop into a large pair of hands. Or be swooped up in front of a wide grinning sun-shaped face.
“Helllooo! What’s your name, lil guy?” Sunny asked cheerfully.
Plushtrap’s teeth began to chatter as he stared up wide-eyed.
“Careful! Careful! He bites when he’s nervous!” Jeremy called down.
“Oh, no worries! So do a lot of my Sunflowers, eheheh!” Sunny chittered as he reached to set Plushtrap down over the low wall. “Off you go! But not too far,” he said and patted his ears.
“Who’s next?” Marionette asked. Button gave a little wave. “Very good. Both of you?”
“Yes. Me too,” Bow agreed.
He scooped up the Bidybabs from the cart and carried them to the slide. They weren’t wearing their dresses today as to not have them get in the way, and the lack of clothing caused them to shoot down the slide frictionless.
Sunny caught Button and got cutoff mid-greeting to catch the second, holding one in each hand.
“Oh, HI! What’s your names, lil cuties?” he greeted excitedly, already gushing on how small and doll-like they looked.
“I’m Button and that’s Bow,” Button said. She sounded a little wary.
“You’re funny looking,” Bow said. She sound confused but curious.
“That’s because I’m a clown!” he chirped, then set them down alongside Plushtrap.
Jeremy gathered up the Minireenas himself to send them down. All of them, especially Lilium, were eager to go.
“Mike didn’t feel like coming today?” Jake called, directed to Marionette.
“Not tonight! Mike’s at home resting… Err, hopefully,” Marionette explained. “He had a big day today running errands.”
…
“You know, you’d think with our own printed napkins that we wouldn’t go through paper towels this fast,” Mike remarked as he dumped a large twelve pack of paper towels into the shopping cart.
“You think that’s bad? This has got to be a mistake,” Fritz said. He was leaning on the cart handle and looking at the shopping list Tabitha scribbled up for them. “Seventeen bottles of ketchup.”
“What’s she doing, bathing in it?” Mike asked flatly.
“Maybe. I just don’t understand why she didn’t make it an even twenty.”
“I guess it’s cheaper than bathing in blood to get that nice youthful skin. Alright, where to next?” Mike said, rubbing his hands together in lukewarm anticipation.
“The toilet cleaning stuff should be on this aisle somewhere,” Fritz said looking around. Mike grimaced a little at the thought. “That spray stuff’s not cutting it. We’re going to have to get in there with something strong. So, grab some gloves too.”
“Good thinking. I don’t want to go anywhere near that toilet on the end after last week.” He almost shuddered at the thought. “I think Carlton’s been avoiding it too because there’s still skids all over it. On the walls-.”
“I don’t want to think about that when we’re going to be getting our hands in it.”
“Do you want to think about how we’re going to have to clean under arcade machines we haven’t moved in about a year?”
“I don’t want to think about that either.”

Okay, so allow me to break down all of these one at a time so my head doesn’t EXPLODE and I die of happiness and sheer EEEEE- whatever that is, that’s what I was doing when I saw this.
Starting with the Minireenas- they’re adorable! The slightly different art style in the first picture gives them such a ‘little ladies’ look. Not just cute, but delicately beautiful, dainty darlings.
I love how you draw the main four! You can feel so much character oozing off of them just from their designs alone, and they look so distinctly in-character. I love them!
AND AUGGHH THE CLOWNWELLS! I’ve seen your Baby before, but I love how much character is oozing out of her. Ennard’s costume is also so fluff and clown, and I love how you still worked in the semi-technician coverall design since the costume is built with that double-use.
D’aww, and I love Scott’s design! He looks just a bit tired, but in that ‘getting better/recovery’ way. Like with the other humans, there’s just so much that comes through on his looks alone. I love it! And the fact that you can tell he’s a bit older without actually making look old or have stereotypical age telltales. You can just see it in the profile.
I love the hugs with Ennard- they’re both so good in completely different ways. 🥺 This man needs that hug. ^_^
The hug between Mari and Charlie is also precious too! Can definitely feel the loving sibling-esque energy. 🥺And again, love how the have such similar and distinct features to punctuate that.
Last, but not least, Jeremy! I’ve commented on this wonderful picture before, but I love it so much. ^_^ This is what got me to fall totally in love with this Jeremy design, so I must thank you for that-
And all of these! They’re wonderful! 8D And you are too, and a wonderful artist on top of that! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🫂
Various drawings I've done for the FNAF fic Home by @mable-stitchpunk , some are references for myself and the other doodles, I am going through an art block so I am posting these to not be as inactive.

Karaoke Night
Where Rita scares the ever living shit out of the team with a children's song
#Jeremy is clinging to the ceiling spying on them like >:3#Himeno knows the song but having Rita sing it makes the creepiness more apparent#This is probably the only song Rita knows and they're making them sing it before allowing them to go home#Mind you the four are probably tipsy/drunk during karaoke night#So that song sobered them up FAST#Not sure about Jeremy. He probs watched all “awwww. Baby judge is trying their best”#Gira will probably avoid showing the orphans the anime after that#Himeno will forbid Rita from ever singing at karaoke night until they learn a different song to sing#kingohger#king ohger#ohsama sentai kingohger#rita kaniska#rita kanisuka#moffun#himeno ran#hymeno ran#gira hastie#gira husty#yanma gust#yanma gast#kaguragi dybowski#kaguragi dibousuki#Moffun wants to commit arson#Arson Moffun

Because the book is Everyone Loves Mina: The Saga, we don’t have a direct reference for how she’d act if someone was being an asshole to her face
But her reaction in The Holmwood Foundation feels right. She takes it so much in stride, with a bit of private humor. Then it struck me that of COURSE she’s dealt with assholes before. She grew up a working, lower-middle class orphan, and was an assistant schoolmistress at a girls’ school with rich students like Lucy.
You KNOW this woman has dealt with so many Nightmare Parents. Jeremy is probably child’s play in comparison.

Bucket Scene Analysis pt. 1
So I’m revisiting the Bucket Scene from Expiration Date, and I noticed some things. Spy’s feelings got really hurt, but the other Mercenaries didn’t mean to seriously upset him. Let’s go over their POV first.
Engineer and Medic are doing more experiments on the teleporter, so they aren’t present for the bucket scene. They’ll be trying to figure out a way to stop the tumors for the next three days instead of accepting the team’s deaths.
Soldier is too dumb to understand what’s going on, and Pyro presumably isn’t aware enough of his surroundings.
Demoman comes from a family with really disturbing traditions; they let him live as an orphan and only revealed themselves after he killed his adoptive family in an explosion… Because he was showing his skill. He’s actually expected to lose his sight entirely like his parents. Out of anybody there who knows what’s happening, he’s the most unbothered by them dying because of that twisted heritage.
Sniper calls his parents every week, and I’m sure he’s told them/about to tell them what’s happening. But he also has a plan to kill everyone he meets, so even if he is bothered by the fact that he’ll die, he’s not going to make the others privy.
Heavy has been responsible for his three sisters and his mother since he was a child. Around them, he’d be a bit more open and accept their hand on his shoulder.. But not Spy. Around co-workers, Heavy’d rather think on what’s happening and be left to those thoughts. Besides that, he already provided a secluded cabin in Siberia for his family to keep them safe, so if he dies at work he’ll be at peace knowing they’re ok.
I very much get the vibe that Spy never puts his hand on the others like this, and that’s why Heavy hit him with that Side-eye Claire face.
Now Scout? He’s an interesting case because he’s about to humiliate Spy with the fake cards, but in terms of them dying in three days:
“Ve have three days to live!”
It’s subtle, but he looks like he might cry. Not in front of them, but still. And that tracks, because he and Spy are the most sensitive members of the team. You can look at Spy’s reaction behind Medic, and it becomes more obvious.
But Jeremy wasn’t raised by Spy.
He was raised by his mother [who’s doing her best] and seven older brothers who are terrible role models. I have no doubt that his brothers were involved in petty street crime and gangs when they were younger, even if some came to their senses as adults. And gangs are not well known for emotional stability.
Scout grew up around seven guys that wanted to be “hard” and ignored their emotional needs/daddy issues… As the youngest and the most sensitive one. I imagine that crying and showing that something is getting to you was met with mockery. And being labeled a weakling. So Scout did his best to stop showing that “weakness”.
Now he’s graduated from the criminal fights his brothers used to get into, and joined a group of mercenaries. Since he looked up to his brothers and grew up imbedded in their worldview, he seeks approval from the other Mercenaries in the same way. That’s why he chooses to mock Spy instead of asking for the last wishes. It makes him look unbothered and he can call Spy the weak one instead of being cruelly labeled himself.
But RED team doesn’t operate like Scout’s siblings or a gang. They’re all individuals that specialize in a certain area of mercenary work, who could leave for a different team or independent work if they weren’t happy on the team. [Provided they don’t release any information that the Administrator wants hidden, or rebel against her.]
So when Scout pranks Spy, they aren’t seeing his as a weakling; it’s not even crossing their minds. They’re smiling because Scout seems happy despite impending doom. And why shouldn’t they be glad that he’s having a good time of it? Beats being dejected and since he’s the youngest, they’re more worried about his well-being.
What’s interesting is that Heavy seems to sense that Spy is upset, because his smile noticeably fades when he looks up. But I still don’t think he realizes how much this prank and the teams’ indifference hurt Spy.

christine's blog is full of reblog charms and spread this like wildfires and jeremy reblogs every single one of them out of fear and obligation. she spends hours weekly customizing her theme to reflect her current mood and fandom. slaps an experimental 'chris, any pronouns' in her bio just to see how it feels. (nobody refers to her in third person so she never finds out). writes soooo much meta and takes stimboard requests but is wracked with guilt when she gets behind on them. constantly reblogs her own posts telling everyone to go to MHS to see this semester's theater production even though none of her followers are from MHS or even live in new jersey
jeremy desperately wants to dm christine but he has to wait for her to make the first move because his main account is a multifandom roleplay blog named after his x-men oc who hes been trying to convince everyone doesn't exist after michael used that name for him in public one time
michael mell is a reddit fanboy. he posts theories about his fandoms. he’s subscribed to r/ApocalypseOfTheDamned and r/WorldofWarcraft. he is the kind of person to make speedrun videos and walkthroughs and make compilations of “the weapons in aotd ii ranked on how likely they are to be used by a toddler” type shit.
jeremy heere, on the other hand, is a tumblr fanboy. sure, he posts about theories, but he’s a hopeless romantic. you look at that boy and tell me he doesn’t post shitty fanart and bad fanfic. he plays apocalypse and writes silly little stories about the characters kissing and also dying horrible deaths.
if anyone’s wondering, christine’s also a tumblr girlie. she keeps tabs on jeremy’s account. she finds it endearing and always leaves kudos on his fics as a guest. (she also is a pinterest fangirl. if u even care.)
#also REAL REAL REAL#jeremy posting each fic going this is it this one is so much better than the last one guys#then refreshing constantly until he doesnt get enough kudos after 2 days and orphaning it. repeat ad nauseum. his account has 0 fics#hes such an idealist but so easily crushed by reality#text#michael#jeremy#christine#stagedorks#i reaaaaally wanna believe in jeremy who draws because of several headcanons i like that require that#but its so hard. i dont think this guy is good at anything valued by society#shitty shitty art is actually a great resolution to that dilemma dkjslfjdsf#i also think jerm is a reddit user for toxic masculinity reasons#i was actually going to write an entire fic about that because im insane i guess

Meet "Spy".
The most arrogant student in all of MANN high school and sixth form. Once he had a perfect life, over in France. Not an orphan, posh house, and perfect grades, and because of those perfect grades he was offered a chance to go over to England as an exchange student, which he obviously took. However, as soon as he got to the people he would be staying with, he soon realized that it was one of the worst opportunities that he had ever taken.
8 children, under one small roof, with only one familiar woman looking after them. He immediately clashed with the clan's youngest member a, then, 13-year-old boy called Jeremy. The pair often got into verbal spats whenever the younger boy's mother wasn't around.
However, despite them often fighting, the pair developed a sort of brotherly bond, with 'Spy' telling Jeremy long and intricate stories sometimes about things he's done in France, other times just to hit him with a 'your mom' joke. And sometimes Jeremy goes to 'Spy' for advice with the SAME SIXTH FORM GIRL.
'Spy' was only supposed to stay in England for his time in year 10, however, he made a special request to stay for an additional year, which his old school agreed with, as long as Ms. Sullivan was okay with it, and due to reasons still unknown, she was.
He's the second most mysterious student, second only to the 'Pyro', and that is primarily because we actually know that 'Spy' is human and speaks plain English, however, his identity is still unknown as he has never taken his hood off in front of someone and he always answers the register before his name is said.
Despite his posh exterior, he's partial to video games, especially a shooter game called 'Band Bastille 2.' He is an absolute sweat at it and is by far the best 'Infiltrator' player for miles. He even has a nemesis on the game who goes by the gamer tag 'ProfessionalwStandards', who primarily plays the 'Assassin' role, which he hates all player.s of but, and I quote, ", especially this so-called professional! He dares to say that he has standards!? All assassin players are just a bunch of pathetic lost souls who don't even know how to move their own characters!" - Spy, overheard at lunch, the other week.
Another one of his online activities that he loves to do is to get into arguments about the stupidest things. It could be about politics, a movie franchise he hasn't seen, or even basic trivia. Sometimes he purposely says the wrong thing, just to illicit a reaction from the person, and when the perfect time comes, he strikes and instead of putting an actual answer, he just puts the person's IP address and never looks at the conversation ever again.
Something that he just can't stand is vapes, and I quote, "Horrid, horrid things. With their dreadful flavours and stupid batteries. h, and do not even get me started on the braindead people who got the toilets permanently locked because they were using them there. I prefer to take my lung cancer the proper way with cigarettes!" -Spy again.

Relationships
Jane 'Soldier' Doe: Apart from maybe Merasmus, 'Spy' is the only person to not put up with Jane's loud-mouthed attitude, saying "It wouldn't be tolerated in my old school, it won't be tolerated by me here."
Jeremy 'Scout' Sullivan: Read the first bit again, and then look me in the eyes and tell me you need this.
?? 'Pyro' ??: 'Spy' wonders what inhuman thoughts lie behind that mask, but more so he wonders how, even when he's in isolation, he can always be found by the creature.
Mikhail 'Heavy' Ivanov: They often talk about literature that they've read, meaning most of their conversations take place hidden behind bookshelves in the library making someone think the school is haunted!
Mun-dee 'Mick' 'Sniper' Mundy: Do not let these two exchange gamer tags. They're at each other's throats enough already.
F??? Pauling: 'Spy' is her go-to when getting advice for help with the gals
??? 'Ma' Sullivan: They both know and they know the other knows.
Tavish 'Demoman' Degroot and Ludwig 'Doc' Koch: Nothing too bad, they have pleasant chats

Enzo is the Morally Gray Character Everyone Pretends Damon is
Let's discuss.
Backstory
The writers didn't even try to hide it as they paralleled much of Enzo's background with Damon. If anything, his story is more tragic than the "poor little rich boy" story we get from Damon. I'm not discrediting the abuse Damon suffered, more pointing out the privilege Damon lived with, especially given his role in the Confederacy. No child should have to suffer abuse. But this privilege is often ignored when discussing Damon.
Enzo has a tragic childhood, being orphaned at just four years old and forced into a workhouse. Unlike Damon, Enzo was turned without any prior knowledge of the supernatural world. And he was turned by Damon's mother, tying them together. He was then abandoned as the only vampire he knew was locked in a prison world, leaving him to figure everything out himself. Damon was also alone, but this was done by choice. Like Damon, he also fought in a war, but unlike Damon, he fought on the right-side of WWII. We don't know much about this time in Enzo's life, but I do love that they almost give this story to Damon as well. However, Damon was only joining to be with Stefan and ended up not enlisting at all when Lexi talks him out of going with Stefan.
Enzo was captured by Whitmore and experimented on for ten years. He found love but compelled her to forget him to keep her safe, but was later killed by Damon. Similar to how Damon compelled Elena to forget him, but unlike Enzo when Elena chose to compel the memories away, he can't just let her be happy without him.
When Damon was also captured by Whitmore, Enzo befriended him, showing he still was caring person despite everything that had happened. Despite being held captive for twice as long as Damon, Enzo gave Damon his rations of blood for a year, starving himself so they could escape. But when the time came to escape, Damon left Enzo behind for dead. Because of Damon's actions, Enzo is then held captive for over 50 years.
Throughout the Show
When we meet Enzo his anger is initially directed at Damon, but upon learning that Damon kept his promise on killing the Whitmores, he forgives him for leaving him for dead and shifts his anger to the Whitmores. Enzo killing Aaron made sense since this was his entrance and his anger was still fresh, whereas Damon killing Aaron just showed that he hadn't actually had any character development that the show claimed he had. Damon also uses his position with the MF gang to manipulate Bonnie into helping by threatening Jeremy.
Enzo only turns on Stefan when he believes that Stefan was the one who killed Maggie. Finding out that it was his only friend that killed the woman he loved, instead of trying to kill Damon, he turns off his humanity because he feels so betrayed and heartbroken. Without his humanity, he targets Elena to get revenge on Damon. Stefan kills Enzo so then Enzo seeks revenge against Stefan. It's all logical.
The worst thing Enzo did was Sarah. This is my least favorite Enzo storyline, but not just because the death felt so pointless. But because it all felt out of character and random. Why was Enzo holding onto such a strong grudge for Stefan? Yes, Stefan killed him, but only because he was trying to kill Elena. Enzo's anger would have made more sense directed at Damon, but the writers couldn't let anyone be angry at Damon for more than an episode. But then Enzo doesn't even kill her. Sarah convinces Enzo to let her go
When Enzo kills, it is strategical. He doesn't do it out of joy, but rather because he feels he needs to and he has so much anger inside of him. Right or wrong, this is different than Damon's stance of killing for fun. When Caroline pushes back to Enzo, he says sometimes they have to kill for survival and they can't afford to hesitate. When Damon is called out on his killing, he says it is just part of being a vampire. He revels in it.
Even when Enzo is reunited with his long lost family, the Heretics, he doesn't enjoy taking their side. He is torn because he has never known a family and doesn't know what one feels like. He doesn't like harming the people he has known for a short while. He again chooses his blood family at the Armory initially, still hoping to find that family. But he's not really betraying anyone by doing this. The MF gang was never his family. Damon was his friend who betrayed him. He didn't owe them loyalty. But when Enzo finally finds family in the MF gang, in Bonnie, nothing will make him betray that. Unlike Damon, Enzo's loyalty isn't transactional.
Growth
The biggest difference between Damon and Enzo is that Enzo has the character development the show desperately tried to pretend Damon had.
Enzo values his friendships. When Damon dies, he is one of the main characters seeking to bring him back. Even attacking Stefan for giving up. Enzo comforts Caroline throughout the summer as she struggles. He counsels Bonnie to let him go because he'd rather her live and be safe than bring him back to life. He even talks her into forgiving Stefan so she doesn't live the rest of her life in pain.
Damon does very little to bring people back, usually just resorting to begging/forcing Bonnie. Even when Elena's in a coma, he doesn't spend the years seeking a loophole, rather he decides to desiccate and abandon his friends and brother. He misses his dead friends but doesn't honor their memories.
The writers actually learned from their mistakes with Damon. Damon entered the show as a villain in Season 1 and that was really hard to come back from. His assault on Caroline, killing Lexi, Vicki, and countless other people for fun, his yo-yoing back and forth between "good" and "bad" depending on how Elena was treating him, it was all too much without a really good redemption arc. Which they didn't bother doing. We don't see Damon ever feel remorse or apologize for anything. Everyone just forgives him.
While Enzo actually works to repair his relationships. He feels remorse for what he's done to the extent that he warns Caroline and Bonnie not to live like him. His very last actions are to make sure Bonnie forgives where he couldn't so that she could move on the way he couldn't.
Enzo was far from a perfect person, but he is by far a better "morally gray" character than Damon.
Race
While the show essentially white washes Michael Malarkey's background, we have to acknowledge the racism that plays a part. And even the larger disenfranchisement of Palestinian actors or even just Pro-Palestinian actors. Michael is proud of his Palestinian heritage. We can't ignore the impact this has had on him in the fandom and even with the cast and crew given their stances.
People are always quick to talk about the racism in the fandom, yet it always seems to fall short when discussing Michael/Enzo. It could just be because of the whitewashing in the show, but I've seen the discussion brought up more with Michael Trevino who is also a whitewashed character thanks to the shows blatant racism.
A lot of the complaints against Enzo is that he was taking roles they wished their favs had and he wasn't even a "main character. But why is Enzo not considered a main character? He has a 59 episode run time (4 seasons). He is classified as a main character online, but the fandom continues to sideline him. He has a longer run time than Klaus by double, yet we wouldn't say that Klaus wasn't a main character on TVD.
I've never actually seen legitimate reasons to hate Enzo. All of the reasons are farfetched or cherry-picking the plot so bad I swear they only watch certain character scenes.
Damon was a bad person who had moments of goodness. Enzo was a good person who had moments of "badness." I don't get why everyone wants to hate on Enzo just to make them feel better about liking Damon. Just like Damon.
But I love Enzo and I have so much respect for Michael Malarkey. They both deserved better from the fandom and the writers.
#i've been getting a lot of damon questions#and it made me think of this#enzo deserved better#enzo st. john#enzo > damon#anyday#michael malarkey#michael malarkey deserved more screen time#anti damon salvatore#julie plec is racist#tvdu#the originals#the vampire diaries#tvd#anon ask#tvd anon ask#tvd ask#fandom asks#fandom answers#tvdu metas#metas#andrea831 metas#andrea831 metas enzo

Okay! This is my backstory for Spy no matter what AU he is in.
He was an orphan. Lost both of his parents as a baby. And when he was six years old, he was adopted... into a human rights violation. He, along with over two dozen other orphans, were to be trained to be perfect spies. To never break no matter what. So for their welcome home ceremony, they had their fingerprints burned off. And it only gets worse from there. Any type of torture you can think of, physical, mental.... sexual, these children went through until it no longer bothered them. They know how much pain they will be in and know it can't get worse. They had been left out in blizzards after being sprayed down with water just so they would learn to survive it to get the intelligence back to their Masters. Spy had dragged 12 and 27 back to the exfil zone only for them to not make it. They had been 12 years old. The agency, planned to sell the spies to the highest bidder, but something happened. Someone caught them. The Spies were unleashed on the world with no orders. So they found their own. But slowly, bit by bit, they died. Until only our Spy is left. And he doesn't even know his real name. He had been given a number, 22. He was the 22nd child brought in to the program.
Spy left Scout's Ma because he had an accident with baby Scout that freaked him out. He realized he was thinking about how Scout DIDN'T need picked up right then because you can go for a long time on discomfort. He did pick up Scout, but when Ma got home he went for a walk and smoke.... that's when he saw one of the Trainers. She was talking on the phone, and from the onesided conversation he could hear, they were going to start the Program back up. And while he is the last one left, he's not the only one that had children. And they are planning to use those children. Spy ends up leaving to protect Scout.
(Also Scout got a Gift. Spy once went undercover as an exchange student. He had liked the name "Jeremy.")
But some funny can happen. Heavy remarks winter is coming, and Spy agrees, saying his room has been "a little cold" recently and for like five seconds everyone is normal until they remember Spy had been out in a blizzard soaked in water before and that's his definition of cold now. Suddenly Spy has several armloads of blankets dropped on him and Heavy's winter coat and Scout comes running in screaming he has the heater and now Spy is very warm boy. And Engineer is making hot coco and kicking Medic to keep him from adding drugs to it that would make your blood be like antifreeze.
Also Scout is furious and he doesn't know who to be pissed off at. Spy? The Trainers? Who?

My TF2 Morden AU
Here is another instalment of my TF2 Alternate Universes, todays AU is about if the mercenaries lived in the 21st century in todays society, info is under the cut snd i hope you like it 😋
First we have the Mercenaries who aren't Mercenaries -
Scout - Scout who is named Jeremy Fast was born in 1996 making his 28 and he is a high school PE teacher for the boys, he is a good PE teacher but he been in trouble with the school a few times after parents complain that he's been flirting with the high school girl all between 13 - 16, he grew up with his single mom and his 8 half brothers and he is the youngest of the brothers, he's not sure who his dad was when he was younger but then he found out when he was 18 from his mom that his dad was a guy from france who met Jeremy's mom at the bar she works at while on a buisness trip, they then hit it off, had a one night stand then scout's mom had Jeremy, Jeremy's dad then disappeared after Jeremy was born but he still kept in contact with Jeremy's mom for child support, the only issue Jeremy has is that he can't seem to get a girlfriend, he went though dating apps, went out public areas like bars and concerts and even ask woman if they were single but nothing worked making him feel depressed that he can't get anyone to love him, another issue is that he has ADHD so he struggles to socialise full time and gets easily distracted, lastly, he's uses TikTok a lot to make random videos and he is a little popular on the platform but still can't get a girl to like him.
