Day 6 - Self-sacrifice

Tags/CW: superhero whump, losing control, passing out

If you've ever followed a course in relation to helping or even saving people, you've probably learned that the first step of helping people is to make sure that you don't endanger yourself by doing so.

Don't jump into the water to save someone from drowning when you don't even know how to swim. Don't run blindly into a burning building. And don't attempt to treat a bullet wound when shots are still being fired.

Even superheroes, who can famously take a bit more damage than a mundane human, have to know their limits. Not every super's powers work as proficiently in the water as they do on land. Not every super is flame-resistant. And not every super is bullet proof.

And yet, despite having the above drilled into them during many lectures as sidekicks, some heroes risk it all anyway.

Kinetica and Eclipse had already had a really long day. Without wasting too much time on details; they'd been dealing with the same two villains for weeks now. Recently they had kidnapped one of their friends, planning to use their powers to fuel their final plan: To destroy everything.

One of the villains they were dealing with called himself Prometheus. His powers were highly radioactive. His partner, Somnum, could hypnotise and control people with a mere touch and a whispered suggestion. And Borealis, the sidekick they kidnapped, had the power to either drain people of all their energy or fuel them.

They were under Somnum's control, and they were being used to fuel Prometheus so he could deal a devastating blow that would destroy everything, putting millions of lives at risk.

After a failed attempt to save Borealis, everyone had been ordered to evacuate the immediate area as the radiation levels were getting too high, but after sending the rest of the team off to safety, Kinetica and Eclipse stayed behind with a hail-mary plan.

When things seemed the most dire, Eclipse revealed that he was able to conjure up a black hole, and he planned to use it to absorb Prometheus' destructive powers before he could claim any lives. He wanted to go back alone. He was the only one who could do this, after all, but Kinetica refused to abandon him, and went with him instead.

The two of them creeped past abandoned buildings, using deserted cars in the middle of the streets to hide as they snuck back towards the epicentre of this week's calamity. Crouching behind a car, they could see three familiar figures standing atop a hill just at the edge of Central Park, a fence separating them, though that shouldn't be a problem. Prometheus was stretching a bit, while Somnum knelt in the grass, keeping Borealis docile. They had their backs turned.

Kinetica nudged Eclipse and gestured towards the fence. Eclipse nodded and held out his hand. Kinetica took it and they snuck closer together. As expected the fence was no trouble with Eclipse's power. He quietly and gently lowered them into the grass, holding out his arm when Kinetica tried to move further forward. He looked at her, then pointed at Borealis. Kinetica bit her lip, hesitating.

"Are you ready, my dear?" Prometheus suddenly said, thankfully not turning around.

"I'm ready," Somnum replied, "I've always been ready. I want to build a paradise with you! We'll build it from the ground up!"

Eclipse gave Kinetica a nudge. It was now or never. She nodded, and lowered herself further against the ground to stay out of sight for now, while Eclipse got up, approaching the couple on top of the hill.

"Hey!" he called, "This has gone on long enough!"

"Well, if it isn't Eclipse," Prometheus said as he turned around, "you just keep coming back for more, don't you?"

"This'll be the last time," Eclipse said.

"You couldn't stop me with your little friends at your side, what makes you think you can do it on your own?" Prometheus asked.

"Because now I don't have to worry about them getting caught up," Eclipse said.

Just like that he threw an arm back, pushing Somnum and Borealis away from them. Prometheus tried to retaliate, a yellow fire-like energy being thrown his way. Eclipse deflected it without issue, not having to look over his shoulder as he did so this time. He increased the gravitational pull on Prometheus, while decreasing the pull on his own, making it much harder for the villain to move around, and a lot easier for himself. He just had to stall for time until Kinetica had gotten the chance to get Borealis to a safe distance. He was sure she'd be fine.

And he was right to trust her. After Somnum and Borealis were pushed back by Eclipse, she quickly rushed in to pull their friend away from the villain’s partner, before swiftly taking him down and handcuffing him.

"Gotcha!" she huffed, before turning to her friend, "Borealis? Are you okay? Wake up!"

She had to shake them quite roughly, before they finally responded.

"C-Cas— I-I mean, Kinetica? What's happening?" they asked, rubbing their eyes a bit.

"There's no time!" Kinetica said, "We need to get as far away from here as possible!"

She pulled Somnum to his feet, forcing him to walk along as they headed back to the fence, looking over her shoulder as Eclipse continued to fight Prometheus.

"W-wait," Borealis said, "w-we can't just leave. He wants to destroy everything!"

"Eclipse can handle him," Kinetica lied, "now come on, I'll help you scale the fence— HEY!"

She cursed as Somnum suddenly pulled free from her grip, running back towards Prometheus. She chased him, and Borealis wasn't sure what else to do, so they followed her. Kinetica caught up with Somnum about halfway up the hill, trying to pull him back as he desperately called out for his partner.

"Prom! PROMETHEUS! LET HIM GO! STOP! STOP IT!"

Eclipse had Prometheus on his knees, the yellow fire-like energy swirling around him. He desperately tried to lash out in an attempt to stop Eclipse, to which he just increased the gravitational pull around him, beginning to compress Prometheus' powers into a spherical shape.

"Do you really think you can hold this?!" Prometheus yelled, "I got more where that came from!"

He released more energy, a bright flash nearly blinding them all. Kinetica, Somnum and Borealis were all knocked back. They could feel the heat, when suddenly it all retreated.

They could hear a distorted, guttural scream, before the sound seemed to numb. A pressure on their ears, as if they'd suddenly changed elevation and the air pressure inside their heads was very different from that outside.

Disoriented, Kinetica looked around to see what happened, but everything was warped. She could just about make out Eclipse, standing before an orb of yellow flames that licked around the surface of...nothingness.

The grass and dirt of the hill they stood on raised up higher, and while they should be rolling down the steeper hill, they found themselves being pulled up as well instead. Kinetica dug her heels in, grabbing a hold of both Borealis and Somnum.

"Eclipse! ECLIPSE! ECLIPSE STOP!" she screamed, but it was as if he couldn't hear her.

Granted, she could barely hear herself over the pressure in her ears. She tried to make sense of what she saw, peering at her friend. He also had his heels dug in, trying to pull away from the orb, but seeming to be stuck. Then it clicked, and she sobbed, looking at Borealis.

"H-he's lost control!" she yelled, "He can't stop! H-he's going to get sucked in! W-we all are!"

Borealis grit their teeth, peering back at Eclipse as well.

"NO!" they yelled, "It can't end now!"

They pulled themselves from Kinetica's grip, carefully trying to approach Eclipse. Kinetica screamed at them to stop, but the sound of her voice didn’t reach them. She watched as their movements slowed down as they got closer to Eclipse, until it seemed like they weren't moving at all anymore.

Meanwhile to Borealis, it was as if things got both less as well as more warped as they got closer to Eclipse, but they tried not to let that distract them.

"Eclipse!" they cried, "Eclipse hold on!"

"Stay back!" Eclipse shouted, sounding both loud yet barely audible, "I can't hold it!"

"I know!" Borealis shouted, "I have an idea!"

They managed to reach Eclipse, wrapping their arms around him, both in an attempt to comfort, and to stop themselves from getting pulled in any further. Then, they just let themselves go. They’d been struggling since Kinetica woke them up, but now they let their powers run free. They could feel themselves getting stronger, more alert, while in front of them and Eclipse, the black hole began to shrink, before eventually dissipating as Eclipse slumped against Borealis.

Everything returned to normal in a snap. The hill collapsed, nearly burying all of them. Debris rained down on them, and when things finally calmed down, Kinetica glanced around to see the collapsed fence, the water in the nearby lake sloshed violently onto the other shore, cars were piled near the fence now, rather than in the middle of the road, trees were bent, broken and uprooted, and there wasn’t any sign of Prometheus.

Even more disorienting, however, was the sun. It had been nighttime when they snuck back towards the park, and now the sun gently warmed her clammy skin. She could hear sirens in the distance, and the distinctive sound of a helicopter approaching. But never mind all that. She scrambled to her feet, slipping on the loose dirt, but she kept moving forward, crawling on hands and feet to the top of the hill.

"ECLIPSE! BOREALIS!"

At the top of the hill, a crater had formed, and Kinetica fell down. She spat out a mouthful of dirt and grass, wildly looking around until she spotted Borealis. They were hard to miss, green energy swirling around them as they slowly sat up and checked themselves over…but they felt fine. Not a single bruise or scratch. But right next to them…Eclipse wasn't moving. They reached over to check on him, but they pulled their hand back. What if they drained him too much? W-what if he…

"ECLIPSE!?"

Kinetica dropped back to her knees next to Eclipse, rolling him onto his back and quickly swiping the dirt off of his face before checking his breathing.

"K-Kinetica..." Borealis said with a sob, "d-did I—"

They got cut off when Eclipse suddenly started coughing, blinking his eyes open as he gasped for air, before coughing some more. Then he promptly sat up and spat out some dirt, before nearly falling back over. Kinetica sobbed in relieve as she steadied him, before hugging him. Eclipse...somewhat sheepishly hugged back, looking around at the carnage over her shoulder.

"C-Cass...cough! W-what did I do?"

"Y-you did it!" Kinetica said, "You saved us!"

Eclipse blinked, before gently dislodging from her embrace.

"No..." he quietly said, "N-no, I fucked up...I...I had no control....I...I-I could've killed us all."

He turned towards Borealis, swaying a bit.

"Thank you," he said, just before Kinetica had to catch him again as he passed out.

#9 for Haven then!

Thanks for playing! (The OC Game)

#9 was "If your character could have handed their role in the plot to someone else, would they have?"

Haven, from my my fic Let's Be Honest, If You Could Hop Dimensions, You'd Save Eddie Munson Too, is a (non binary, hence the pronouns) time/dimension traveler who doesn't really know any other dimension travelers personally, so probably would believe there was no one else for the job. They came to the Stranger Things dimension specifically to save Eddie from his fate, and maybe cause a little chaos along the way to try and help everyone else out. But their goal is Eddie. Then it quickly turns out that Steve is a welcome third in their happy little relationship, and they become a unit like it was meant to be. Traumatic situations and dire circumstances tend to heighten everyone's emotions and speed things along lol

So really, after meeting these boys, and the group in Hawkins, they wouldn't want to give up their role in the story for anything. Because they had such strong feelings for Eddie (and clearly read the vibes between Steve and Eddie correctly) that they left their world behind and committed themselves to a dangerous, chaotic dimension where a psychotic psychic earthworm man is dangling their lives on a string.

They're too down bad for Steddie to give up now, and there's no one else for the job. They're gonna help El kick Vecna's ass for his sheer audacity.

Ref for an OC: Aeron (they/them) They are a werewolf and I'll be designing the wolf form... sometime soon lmao. Below is a character playlist and a character bio :)

Aeron Kowalczyk 

AFAB Trans-Masc Nonbinary (they/them) 

24, October 13th (Libra) 

Polish (maternal) and Irish (paternal) descent, raised Polish in America.

Fluent in English and knows a passable amount of Polish though not as fluent as family would like. 

Personality

Internal

Lost, insecure, uncertain. Aeron often feels as though they’ve been floundering for the last several years now, largely connecting with the distancing and then complete disappearance of their mother. A lot of this helplessness manifests itself as either complete aloof indifference and borderline nihilism, or as sharp snaps of anger. 

External

Indifferent, guarded, contrarian. Aeron’s always been a bit of a loner, bit of a rebel, even before their family fell apart. An interest in alternative fashion aesthetics, movies, music, and a general interest in the occult in their formative years isolated them from a lot of their peers. Not exactly something Aeron wanted, either, but better they stayed away than try to change them. That cycle of loneliness and forced independence has resulted in a questioning and biting outer Aeron, all too willing to nip at the metaphorical heels of those making bold claims and assumptions (even when they’re fully correct, if only to watch them scramble in doubt). 

Favorite

Color: Black would be the immediate answer, but upon more thought, probably deep midnight blues and teals, and red as a favorite accent color. 

Beverage: Non-Alcoholic; Monster energy. Any of them. Aeron’s a major caffeine addict, and energy drinks are really the only thing that do anything to them anymore. Alcoholic; Creamy dessert cocktails are really the only alcohol Aeron enjoys drinking, but partakes in beer at social events they find themselves in. 

Food: Meal; Pierogi, and really any dumpling type formation. Will fuck up some dumplings. Snack; Fuego Takis, and any spicy snack. 

Least Favorite

Color: Bright colors, specifically highlighter or neon tones. Dislikes pastels for not being saturated enough but will concede on them sometimes looking ok. 

Beverage: Non-Alcoholic; Garlic milk. One of their grandparents’ home remedies for just about anything growing up, and it did help, but fuck is it nasty shit. Alcoholic; Tequila. The worst hangovers. Get that shit away from them. 

Food: Meal; Barszcz z Uszkami. Generally does not like beets at all, but especially beet soups. The dumplings and veggies are still good though. Snack; Chip pretzels. They’re too dry, and just make them crave soft pretzels instead. 

Physical

Height: 5’10, though likes to tell 6'0 guys that they’re 5’8 so that they panic. 

Piercings: Their ears are done up. Gauges, industrial bars, cartilage hoops, and studs lining up to the top of the ear. They have a septum piercing as well. 

Tattoos: A tattoo on their left inner forearm of a woman being burned at the stake and revealing a wolf within, head tilted back at the moon, on a black background. 

Accessories: Lots of leather and rope bracelets, rubber wrist bands, collars, chokers and corded necklaces with various pendants. The only constant is a chain necklace with a sterling bat pendant with red gem inlets for eyes. They also wear a lot of thick metal rings and like wearing flannels or suspenders hanging off of their hips. 

Relationships

Layla Johannes: Best friend of going on 10 years, an otherwise “normal” seeming tomboy sort of girl, but ended up being extremely supportive of and even interested in the more “odd” things that Aeron was. The last 5-6 years have been a little odd with some romantic and physical tension that’s been left untouched after the two had a Moment on their senior prom night, but neither wants to move in and misread the situation or change the dynamic, but it’s still There despite the time. 

Finn O’Donahue: Father, hasn’t been around since they were 6. Only regrets having any memory left of him. 

Julia Kowalczyk: Mother, she’s been missing for the last 4 years. She disappeared on a random day in the January after Aeron’s 20th birthday. They’d been really close, but after their 20th, she’d started to drift away. Aeron doesn’t know what happened, but to some extent they blame themselves. They’ve been determined to find her, even though the authorities have long given up. 

Dawid Kowalczyk: Grandfather. They’ve lived with him their whole life, and only moved out after their first shift as a means to keep him at a safe distance. They still visit regularly and call when they can’t. Dawid has gotten more somber and quiet since his daughter disappeared, now being the only one left in the house after Aeron moved out. He can take care of himself well enough, he’s just. Lonely. (Calls him Dziadek when being serious/casual, or Dziadzia when being playful/emotional)
