#No wonder Uzi helps me sleep at night

[unknownbiscuits]

My parents yelled at me for having this as my desktop wallpaper earlier today. I dunno what happened, I just left it up on my monitor to go eat, my mom saw it, and she just went off about it. She said that this looked gay as hell. If I remember correctly, she said "Looks so fucking gay." "It looks like you're a fucking queer trying to be a trans." Honest to God, I'm not any of that. I'm straight and male, and I just like Murder Drones. Uzi's my favorite character (my comfort character, if I'm being more specific). I'm sitting here, trying to figure out what the hell looks gay about this and what's so wrong with Murder Drones that they hate it like it's the devil or some shit. I think it's because of some misunderstandings about it, but I've tried talking to them about MD. They won't even buy me merch, not even with my own money. Idk what to do. It's not the first time shit like this has happened, and I think they're approaching the final straw on this matter. Murder Drones makes me happy, and Uzi keeps me alive. I can't just let go bc my parents think it's something else. I'd lose one of the few sources of happiness I have. Pls, I'm begging for advice rn.

Oil is Thicker Then Blood (Part 91)

(TW: Sexual Abuse)

They were almost to the second pod. Thank Robo-God.

N was slightly ahead of them, doing scan after scan with each of his different eyes as they inched closer, it had fallen in what used to be a small park… but was now a frozen lake of ice.

The pod was mostly intact barring the fact it's landing legs had snapped and it was half buried in the ice of the lake and covered in snow. The door was stuck open, but there wasn't any sign of life, and especially no corpse spire that would indicate anyone lived there.

“I wonder why you guys are the only dissasembly drones we've seen…” Thad pondered aloud, and both N and V gave a small unknowing shrug.

“I'm not sure… these pods imply that there should be more don't they?” N replied, his movements slightly sluggish from not sleeping last night.

“Let's not jinx it, it's a good thing we haven't. We'd probably have to fight them.” V added, Lizzy at her side looking tired from sleeping on the ground.

“V's right. It's probably a good thing.” Uzi nodded, Tera was curled up in one arm - not asleep, but nibbling on her bat plush gently.

“We could take ‘em.” Lizzy hummed with a smirk, and V smiled. “Love the attitude, but a full squad of dissasembly drones would be a hard fight, even for me.”

“Aww, V being humble, never thought I'd see the day.” Uzi teased and V growled back in response, tail flicking in irritation.

“Shut up! I can still kick ass you little shit!” She seethed, ans Uzi couldn't help but laugh as V grumbled and growled at being teased.

Khan slid off the forklift, grabbing a metal rod and prodding the frozen lake, the ice was completely solid at it's bank, though visibly got lighter the closer you got to the pod.

He called over his son in law

“Hey! N! Need you for a sec!” She shouted from across the caravan group, and N gave Uzi a small kiss on the cheek before he took off and landed next to the older worker drone.

“I need you to check out the pod on the ice, see if it's thick enough for us to drive the lift over.” Khan pointed to the precariously placed pod, who's bottom was entrenched in the lake itself.

He nodded, that was a simple enough task.

His wings stretched out again and he softly landed on top of the pod, which didn't even budge with his added weight, he shook it, jumped on it, anything he could think off the test if it would move.

“Looks pretty good!” He shouted back, and Khan nodded. But shouted back. “Check the ice around it! Make sure it's not too thin!”

He lept from the top of the pod to in front of its entrance, scanning the thickness of the ice with the myriad of sensors that covered his body.

The ice was thick… but the pod was putting significant strain on it already, large cracks furrowed deep into it. Still the only still liquid water he could sense was under 5 feet of pure ice, and so long as they were careful…

He decided to take a look inside the pod, maybe by some miracle some of it was still functional.

No.

But N did find out what happened to the occupants almost as soon as he stepped inside.

There were three bodies, dissasembly drone bodies. And all three had the same severe warping of their chassis, and the scorched hole where their cores should be.

They had overheated, either immediately or soon after making landfall as the pilot hadn't even left their chair before she began melting to it, molten plastic clung to her coat.

They all had that same, silvery blonde hair, which made it feel more like he was looking at the bodies of his siblings then anything else. He sighed, although this was probably better for the group then finding a squad of three hungry dissasembly drones, he felt bad… overheating was such a slow way to go.

A red glint caught his eye.

He shifted his gaze downwards to the floor.

There was a pristine little JCJenson pen slowly rolling towards him, confused, he bent down and turned it in his hands, what was this doing here?

The door slammed shut behind him, plunging him in darkness for a moment while his vison switched into night mode. He backed up against the console, immediately switching to a sword as he frantically looked around.

“Well, well, well… what do we have here?”

His core stuttered still, the familiar voice of business casual and customer service experience running through his audials and making all the oil pumping through him run ice cold. Phantom pain flared in his tail.

“J?” His voice was shaky, this was impossible J was dead, he'd destroyed her core, he'd run it through with his tail until is dissolved into nothing- how? How was this possible?

Five balls of light suddenly flickered on next to the door, a long tail with a yellow, glowing tip reveling itself behind a feminine silhouette, her visor flickered on- an ‘><’ that was unblinking and unwavering.

“The one and only!” She sneered, taking a step closer to him, his eyes hollowed and he used every ounce of energy he had not to tremble.

“Y-you died.” He forced out, still not being able to believe what he was seeing, he'd watched her die.

“Effective drones are cloned more.” She smirked, dread filled the pit of his stomach, she was between him and the door, him and safety.

“You don't look too happy to see me… aren't you glad your leaders alive and well?” She asked, dripping with a kind of patronizing professionalism that she always used when talking to him, he hated it, he hated it.

He growled, fear lighting the fuse into anger.

“You should've stayed dead.” He grunted, it was venomous- so much unlike him but oh did it feel good, he stood up a little straighter.

“Ouch. That's hurtful, N.” She pouted, and N felt his fist clench as she began to move slowly towards him; his confidence wanted to fade, he felt the urge to cower, to beg for forgiveness, to falter.

He didn't. He wouldn't.

“Get out of my way.” He spat, eyes sharpening into a glare that V would be proud of, J stopped for a moment.

“Ooooh~ Such attitude~” She mocked, a fake shiver going up her spine. “Last time I checked though. I was your boss, not the other way around.” The faux freindlness in her voice fell, blessedly.

N stepped forward, closing the gap between them with a speed that startled the former leader into stepping back. His claws flexed, his visor glitched into an X.

“I said. Get out of my way, J, NOW.” The way his voice echoed around the pod was enough to make his own audials ring. J lifted an eyebrow and gave a too-wide smile.

“You don't scare me.” She laughed, one of her claws tapping on the glass covering of his core, his stance faltered breifly. “I know what makes you tick…”

“N? You alright in there? The door slammed shut.” V's voice echoed from the shut door, J looked over to it, grinning.

“Tell her everything's fine…” She whispered, and he grunted when he realized she'd grabbed his tail, She grinded her finger roughly against the canister.

He was still growling when he hit the floor, furious more then hopeless.

“N?”

“V! Mph It’s!”

She yanked on his tail harder, and he had to muffled the scream that wanted to escape.

Instead of Fear, like she wanted, there was anger that was boiling over, instead of obedience- it was rebellion.

“ITS J! SHE'S GOT MY T-AGH!!” He was swiped in the face by claws, and J angerly growled. “You little fucking-”

The door was blasted open, V was there, missile launcher aimed at the door, teeth bared and a wild look in her eye.

V wasted no time in grabbing J by the throat and tossing her out onto the ice for all to see, she looked back at N.

“Are you okay?” She asked, watching as N used the busted console to pull himself up, his tail brushed the floor and he let out a grunt of overstimulation.

“I'm fine.” He growled. “Don't worry about me.” He gestured to J, who was almost stood up on the ice again, and V nodded, throwing herself into battle with duel swords.

“I was aways a better fighter then you.” J hissed, blocking a blow with swords of her own. And V hissed back. “I don't care!”

V kicked her former leader in the midsection, making her grunt in pain but not double over, V brought out a rifle instead.

J immediately took off into the air, dodging the stream of bullets that erupted out of the tip of V's gun, a wild smile on her face.

“Aww did I upset you too? Didn't like the way you were disciplined?” She jeered, and V seemed to get more angry at that.

“Shut the fuck up!” She screeched, unleashing her wings and claws and straight up tackling the cocky drone back into the ground.

“I didn't know you were doing that to N too!” She yelled, landing a decent shot that cracked Js visor before she was able to push V off and fly back into the air

She just shrugged. “The best discipline is consistent. It just worked on you better.”

V's yell of rage was loud, but not quite as loud as N's, who came streaking from above to kick J in the head so hard she broke through the ice, splintering it in several places and making the whole lake shake in a shockwave.

“You too…?” N asked gently as he landed, and V looked away, either ashamed or embarrassed. “I don't… wanna talk about it.”

N nodded softly, keeping it as a note for later.

J Clawed herself out of the icy pit, soaking wet and visor just now completely healing.

“Insubordination! I come back to see you and this is how you repay me! I-” Her gaze twists, Thad and Lizzy are creating a barrier around Uzi and Tera, but Uzi is trying to watch, to make sure N and V are okay, and J sees her, sees her and the little toddler in her arms who looks scared.

“Oh…”

“Ooooh…”

“Now I get it. You got attached…” Her grin turns feral, and N and V both realize where she's going a second too late, she's already off, throwing Thad and Lizzy to the ground and picking up Uzi by the front of her shirt. Uzi yelps and kicks, J looks her up and down, landing on her distended stomach, running a clawed hand down it gently.

“Awww… is this N or V's?” She purred, eyes then flicking to the toddler who started screaming in fear, clinging to her mother tightly “Or both?” She snickered.

“Let me go!” Uzi spat, growling as her tail comes out in an attempt to bite, but J just grabs it, her fingers are grating and it sends an unpleasant shiver up Uzi's spine.

“Oh. I plan to.” She tosses Uzi like garbage, and Uzi quite literally throws Lizzy Tera in hopes that she'll be spared from whatever J has planed for her, Lizzy catches her, thankfully, and Thad covers them both in a body block.

N moves first, pouncing on J but getting shoved roughly back into the ice, V goes for Uzi herself, trying to get her away from danger like her instincts were screaming at her to, but she gets her head kicked and her vision goes into exclusively thermal.

Uzi tries to scramble away, spines prickling out of her back as she tries to run, fight or flight kicking in and self preservation choosing for her.

She gets picked up again, this time by the tail, J ignoring the spines peircing into her fist and holding her up upside down- right above the hole in the ice.

Panic grips her and she squirms like a caught rabbit, trying to claw at her captor or kick or… something. J sneers.

“You two clearly can't be trusted… look at this!” Uzi feels herself be shaken like she's actual trash. “This is disgraceful!”

Then… she's dropped.

The ice comes to envelop her faster then she can react, she hears not only N and V, but her father scream her name. She's plunged into sub zero waters, the temperature taking her breath away as she sinks like a stone.

N stares blankly, every thought in his head instantly evaporating into nothing. Mouth hanging open in shock.

In another second, it feels like his core snaps in half, every single light on his body turns red, and a primal scream rips from his throat as he throws himself at J with all his might

She doesn't even have time to react before one of her wings is ripped off by his claws, maw clamping down on one of her arms ad that too is detached from her body. She screams in pain.

“What the- No! Get off me! Get off me!” She struggles to get away, she kicks N's midsection as hard as she can but he doesn't even react to it, he's drooling all over her, visor stained in a crimson X as his tail whips around to peirce her visor, dumping every drop of acid into it without control.

He grabs the base of her tail and pulls, and he doesn't stop until it snaps off in his hand, a feral, euphoric laugh erupting out of his throat as tears prick in her visor. She kicks and kicks but even as his side breaks open with the force of her blows, spilling out oil he doesn't even flinch.

It's only when she fires a missile point blank at his face that she's able to get him off, throwing him backwards, headless.

She looks between the group, V, fishing her hand inside the hole she dropped Uzi, a downed N, before hoisting herself up, flying away into the distance, though off balance due to a missing wing and visor leaking golden acid she can't contain.

It was cold… so cold…

It felt like ice was invading Uzi's core, bubbles left her mouth as her heavy, titanium body sunk deeper, any attempt to go up only forced her deeper.

Until something glowing yellow grabbed her wrist and hoisted her up, she gasped for air as she was suddenly able to breathe again, everything on her sopping wet. Her optics opened a crack, V's tail was what brought her up, and now she was being held as close to her as possible, the heat radiating off her and into her frigid body.

[CORE TEMPERATURE CRITICAL!] Was written on her visor, V tried to to think about that too hard as she cradled the small worker in her arms, core beating out of her chest.

N groaned, head regenerating, and he looked around confused for a moment, processors lagging behind until it all hit him at once, he rushed over to his mate, ignoring the intense pain in his side and his splitting headache.

“S-she freezing, her bodies in shock, N what… what do we do?” V looked up at him, something desperate, apologetic.

N grabs the cold body of his mate.

“Make sure the pod gets back home safe… I got this.”

Then he's off; grabbing Tera on the way as he flies as fast as he possibly can to the warmest place he can think of…

The Nest.

Taking Flight, Chapter 43: Westward

Given all the cowboy hijinks, mercenary madness, and godless abominations from the depths of the earth, it was easy to lose track of what's been going on at home. It's Cascade Season, and a Cat 5 Portal Storm did just recently pass over the Mushroom Kingdom. Thankfully, Kermit is back with the latest MKBC broadcast over the radio.

Kermit: Good morning, Mushroom Kingdom. Kermit D. Frog here. Today's forecast will be sunny with scattered rainshowers later this afternoon.

Bob can be seen exiting that Duviri Mob Farm Steve had built a few days ago, with the portal inside still active. He and Pomni were just headed to the bazaar to restock their stands.

Bob: Now where was I?

Pomni: Something to do with test tubes, I think.

Bob: Oh yeah! That's where we found Damien. You probably saw him check in at the Guest House last night. I also found this.

He pulls out a small blue glass bottle with a gold trim and places it on his stand. A face can be seen within the shimmering glass.

Glassmaker: Please get me away from this buffoon!

Bob: It makes a good paperweight.

Pomni: ......... Right. Um, you said that Damien was found in a test tube, right? What exactly were they "testing" about him?

Bob: Hell if I know. I'm not really the sciency type. That's more of an SMG thing. Anyways, what have you guys been doing?

Pomni: Not much. We just took a little "urban exploration" trip to this old abandoned house a few miles out. Caine thought it would be worth a look.

Bob: That........ doesn't really help narrow it down.

Pomni: It was the big mansion to the north of the woods. Lot's of bitey crows swooping around. Most of the doors are crossed out with big yellow X's.

Bob: Hm.......... big manor........ huge murder of crows........... yellow X's.

Uzi: I think she's talking about the old Elliott Manor.

The two swiftly turned to Uzi, completely unaware that she was listening to their conversation.

Uzi: I've heard of that place.

Pomni: Um....... how long have you been standing there?

Back in the Guest House, Damien is silently laying in his room. He hasn't left since he arrived last night, and he's gotten little sleep in the meantime. He's just been laying there staring at the ceiling. His mind going back to the moment they first arrived at that cave. The Heavy was excited to test out his new Brass Beast, the Pyro was showing off this new spinning fire trick, and the Demoman had just woken up from a record breaking binge. The Spy was somewhat bemused as he took a puff from his cigarette while the Engineer fiddled with his PDA. Marston makes the call and directs everybody inside.

B. Spy: These buffoons will be the end of me, one day.

B. Engineer: Doh, cheer up, Frenchie. What's the harm in getting in a little fun before we get to work? It helps build a little confidence.

B. Spy: Best watch your words, amigo. Too much of a good thing is the biggest difference between being a hero and being a memory.

Those words have a much sharper sting, now. They were all so confident that this would be just another job. A knock on the door snaps him back to reality. He cracks the door open and sees a small pallid face staring out of a red hood.

Gangle: Mr. Winters, is it?

Damien: Yeah?

Gangle: We were just wondering if you'd like to join us for breakfast.

Downstairs, the other carnies wait in the lounge as Jax works his magic in the kitchen. Zooble is the first to notice Gangle coming down the stairs with Damien in tow.

Zooble: Hey there, sunshine.

Jax: Alright. I got flapjacks, french toast, and waffles hot and ready on the countertop.

Zooble: Hallelujah. I'm starving.

Kinger: Oh, if you don't mind-

Jax: Let me guess. Scrambled?

Kinger: How do you always know that?

TLDR, He always asks for that. Damien takes a paper plate with a single pair of waffles. No syrup, no butter, nothing. He then takes a seat at the far corner of the lounge away from everybody else. Ragatha is the only one to really attempt to start a conversation.

Ragatha: So......... you enjoying your stay?

Damien: Oh. Um, yeah. Sorry. I just had a hard time waking up. Yesterday was um........ quite the doozy, I tell ya.

That's certainly one way to put it. He puts on a forced smile, doing his best to look at least SOMEWHAT alive and well. That's when Saturday comes in.

Jax: Why hello, your Sweetness. Would you care for some crumpets with a spot of tea?

Saturday doesn't even bother gracing him with a response. She turns to Ragatha and nods to get a move on.

Ragatha: Well, if you need anything just give us a holler.

The two take their leave, making sure to close the door behind them before speaking.

Saturday: I just got a call from Shiro. He spotted some activity a few miles west of here.

Ragatha: Hm. You think another Abstraction breached the perimeter.

Saturday: Unknown, but not improbable. Still, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Ragatha: Alright. I'll notify Aybel and we'll get a move on.

Inside the Castle, Tari sits atop a floating barrier in the middle of the main hall. She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, clears her mind of all distractions, and when she opens her eyes...... she is elsewhere. It's nigh pitch black, and dead silent apart from the creaking of old wood. Clench, once again appearing as a ball of light beside her, is the only source of light in this cold dark place. She makes her way forward, passing by the various shelves and cabinets linings the walls. Some hold rows of books. Others contained jars filled with God knows what.

Tari: Quite the collection they have here.

Clench: A lot of books, too. I wonder if they have The Hunger Games. OH, maybe they have Saphique! I've been meaning to -HEUGH GOD.

The stench of rot stops them in their tracks. A single capsule lies before them. Seeping from between the lines of the hatch was a thick oily purulence. The smell of death was unmistakable. A pit grew within her stomach as she inched closer to the capsule. That's when she heard it. A heartbeat. Not of her own, but of whatever is inside that capsule, getting faster and harder as she inched closer and closer until she's close enough to peer through the glass and into the black purulence within. At first, she saw nothing. Then a faint yellow glow began to shine through........ before something erupts from the glass and reaches for her face. She let's out a blood curdling shriek and falls back, finding herself lying on the floor of the Castle. Her heart is racing as she takes deep breaths, clasping at her chest. Saiko comes rushing in from the Gaming Room and straight to her side.

Saiko: Tari! Are you okay!?

Tari takes a moment to catch her breath and get her bearings.

Tari: Yeah........ I'm okay......

Saiko: What happened? You look like you saw a ghost.

Tari: I...... I was meditating. I tried going to my happy place but ended up...... somewhere else..........

She gets back up to her feet and heads out the front door. Saiko rushes out to see her facing west.

Saiko: Tari........ what's going on with you?

Tari scans the skyline, zeroing in on a flock of birds circling a spot in the woods.

Tari: That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Her wings unfold and she flies off west, with Saiko frantically giving chase.

Uzui’s Fourth Wife, Part 4: Our Bond

Previous Part | Next Part

CW: Slight NFSW themes in the end. Does not involve Uzui, between Y/n and Riku.

—

Opening your eyes the first thing you see is Uzi’s arm across your body. You tried to remove it as the last you saw him before you fell asleep his futon was across the room from yours so why was he here next to you with his arm on your body. “So, did Riku use to do this a lot?” He Asked. Arm coiling around the body pulling you in closer to his chest. Your mouth hung open hearing him ask “I -“ was all you could get out. “You kept mumbling his name in your sleep and then thanked him for always keeping you warm on cold nights. Don’t worry, I won’t tell your parents about this. I understand my absence allowed you to have wandering eyes. Would you like me to let go?” he asked.

Feeling your heart race as you wished so badly that you could just scream out at him and run away. You didn’t want this, you didn’t want him, and you especially did not want to be beside him right now. “Yes, I need to get up and do my chores” you said. His arm moved off of you as you made way for the door and quickly leaving. You felt guilty being in another man’s arms that weren't Riku’s, how cruel it was for you two to fall in love and not be together. You wished your father had told Tengen that it was too late, or that you already wed. But he hadn’t but he didn’t do it out of spite or to make you suffer, he was doing it for your family. You understood that well enough when the village started to talk highly of your family instead of gossiping about the inner workings of your parents' marriage.

The gossip didn’t just stop with your parents, they talked about your eldest brothers who wed and judged if they would be the same with their wives making it partly difficult for them to find wives to begin with since many of them didn’t believe that they should be equals in a marriage and only taking one wife instead of many but that was more common for men who weren’t Shinobis. While you did chores around the house your mind trailed along with the thought of what your life would be like if Riku and you were able to marry. You’d have a house on the outskirts of your village like your parents or maybe the outskirts of his village. It would need to be a place that would be able to house as many children that Riku and you would want.

He told you before he wished to have a big family one day and hopefully be able to retire from demon slaying to help raise the children so you wouldn’t be alone. You knew that he would be a wonder father even if he had to be away but he also didn’t like the idea of leaving you behind. He’d always hold your hand between his whenever he did talk about those things his eyes shining with what you realized now was love. You would talk the entire night if you could when he’d sneak into your quarters. Making it habit to fall asleep next to you and leaving before the sun raised. He so badly wanted to take you back to his village to meet his clan, to him you were a crown jewel. His family knew where he was when he hadn’t returned from a mission yet and longed to meet this women taking up their sons attention.

It pained you thinking you never got to meet them, you never got to see what his life was like. He didn’t like speaking often about his clan just his direct family members. You knew he had siblings, just sisters, no brothers. He mentioned he was the last son born of the direct line of the head of the clan so it was important to have children but he wasn’t crazy about the idea of settling down with just anyone. Looking back at it now you know he was talking about you being the one. A lot of the interactions now painfully obvious just how much he loved you. Why hadn’t you seen it before, maybe if it was earlier you could���ve been with him instead. He treated you like a queen. Always thinking of you one way or another.

Another instance of this was when he came back from a short mission. He had asked your father if he would be able to take you out to a neighboring village that was having a festival. Your father hesitating but allowing it since he was thankful that at least his daughter seemed in good spirits whenever Ruki was around. Your servants letting you know that Riku would be taking you out. Again you decided to wear one of the Kimonos he had brought for you. You felt bad that he was always getting you gifts but when he’d arrive back to visit you were empty handed. This time you were prepared and requested a black smith to make him a short blade with your and his clans crests embedded in it. Taking it out of your closet to slug the bag over your shoulder making your way towards the entrance of your home.

Your mother rolled her eyes seeing you carrying around the blade on your back feeling it was not lady like. Your father kissed your cheek before letting you leave. Riku looked at you puzzled wondering what you were carrying. “What do you have with you y/n?” he asked. Trying to grab it. Smacking his hand away lightly “it’s a surprise” you say with a smile on your face. He smirked and looked behind him to make sure your parents and servants were no longer in view before pulling you by the hip to be closer to him as you walked to the neighboring village. “So, a festival huh? Thank you for taking me out” you said, cheeks blushing.

“No need to thank me, the pleasure is all mine. I’m happy you were able to come along. I know how you don’t like how the village looks at us whenever we walk through yours so I figured bringing you somewhere else would be a nice change and I can freely be all over you” he said. A shiver running down your spin at his last sentence. Riku and you were only affectionate or intimate behind closed doors of your room behind your parents back. Reaching the festival he took your hand in his intertwining his fingers with yours. The village was lit up beautifully with lights of all different colors, laughter from children, and the delicious smell of food.

Sitting down on a bench to watch the fireworks you handed him the blade. His eyes lit up when he saw the crests of your family and his. Standing up he lifted you off your feet and hugged you, putting you down quickly and turning his face away. “This is amazing, when did you get this made? He said still not looking at you. Putting your thumb below his chin and moving his head to look at you, you smiled “don’t look away from me” you said. He could no longer resist his feelings for you, placing his hands on your cheeks and bringing you in for a passionate kiss. Placing your hands overtop of his as he pulled his face away. Both blushing and breathing heavily.

“There’s been demons spotted along the area, please get in doors” a man said, holding a lantern and a bell to get the village people's attention. Riku looked around and see if he felt or could smell demons nearby but the wind was picking up disrupting any scent that they’d be leaving. “I think we should stay here y/n, I’ll send word to your parents” Riku said, locking his fingers with yours as you walked to a place to stay. He tried to get two different rooms so your parents wouldn’t lose their minds but there was only one available. Your face still beet red from the kiss earlier. Your mind wandering, being glad that you’d be staying here and not risking running into Uzui if demon slayers would be in area. You had no idea where he was at anyways but the worst case would be running into him now.

Setting into the Inn you looked around the spacious room with only one futon to share. Heart racing at the thought of sleeping next to one another. “Don’t worry, I won’t be sleeping. I need to be awake incase a demon comes to the village” Riku said, standing behind you. “I’m not worried, I just, we’ve never shared a place like this before” you said. His hand touching your lower back and turning you around to look at him. “What do I make you nervous?” He asked with a growing smirk on his face as he touched your reddened cheeks with his other hand. Your heart racing, gulping trying to get words to come out but instead his lips connect with your once again.

This time the kiss being more heated as he kept backing you up to the wall and lifting you up, instinctively legs wrapping his waist. The way his hands traveled along your sides as you allowed his tongue entrance to your mouth. This was all very new to you as the furthest you’ve gotten to this point with Riku was kissing. You craved more each time but Riku would quickly put an end to it before anything further happened. This time being different with hunger in his eyes. “Is this ok” he said, pausing from kissing you. Nodding your head yes things only went further than that. Your hands exploring his body while you both melted into one another.

The night going on, you laying on your back we he hovered over your body. “You’re so beautiful y/n” Riku whispered in your ear. A smile on both your faces. He took his time preparing you as he wanted to continue professing his love to you. An act shared between two people in love is the way your parents had said when you got the talk about this very thing. You knew that this is what it was. Locking his fingers with yours, both of you trying to control your breathing between the kisses and everything else. Putting his forehead to yours and kissing it. The rest of the night the two of you cuddled and refused to let one another go. Falling asleep in his arms while he whispered sweet words into your ear.

“I wish I could just steal you away” Riku said aloud knowing you were sound asleep. Stroking your hair as he began to drift off to sleep. Once day broke his crow squaked jolting the both of you awake. Your father was furious that Riku had not brought you home. He didn’t understand why Riku couldn’t just slay the demons if that became a problem. Upon your return Riku held nothing back yelling at your father that what if a demon had gotten to you and killed you while he fought off the others. Then what would the outcome be, he was trying to keep you safe plain and simple. Your father let Riku escort you back to your quarters. “I have a mission in need to get to, I’ll be back soon. I promise” he said and kissing your forehead. “Please be safe” you said softly, pulling him into a hug squeezing him. “Oh one last thing” he said pulling out a box.

Inside was the most beautiful paints you had ever seen. You were so used to marking your own and wanted to get some from vendors but there were none around. “Where did you get this, thank you” you beamed. “Just along a mission, I always pick you up something. I have to, a motive to get back to you as quickly as I can” he said. You said your final goodbyes as you watched Riku make his leave. Your heart still racing from the night before. You never wanted to forget.

Your thoughts breaking away as you heard Uzui’s voice from the hallway “are you ready for todays outing?” He asked looking at you as you finished up sweeping. “Yes, what are we going to do?” You asked curiously. “Going into town” he said with a smile on his face.

[fnf-amateur-writing]

Hey! It’s Fox again! How are you doing? I just started school back up today, so I’ve been busy Xp.

Think you would be cool with writing some Pico with an s/o who is a writer, and tends to ask him about things like “hey, how long does it take someone to bleed out” or other things like that?

I understand if you don’t feel like it, and I hope you’re having fun 😊

🦊

Hello again Fox, I'm doing quite well rn. I'm cool with your prompt, especially since I need more writing material anyways.

Took me a while, because I didn't want to do a hc, but rather come up with a oneshot with a little twist to the style. Well, hope it works well.

Good luck with school, mate!

TW: Mentions of violence, swearing, slight sexual reference, and crime.

Pico with a writer S/O who asks him strange questions

Prologue:

On a chilly autumn morning, you were sitting out on your patio with a laptop and a mug of your favourite beverage next to you. Whenever you looked up, you could see the warm coloured leaves fall as the breeze accompanied you. The whole scene was an aesthetic.

When your boyfriend, Pico, came outside to see this, he knew that the nice environment you surrounded yourself with meant one thing. "You're back in your writing space already. Heh, with that bestseller you published, I thought you were comfy taking a break." You simply smiled and said, "can't waste the inspiration rush I got right now."

Pico had a good point though, with your rising popularity as an author, you were near set to retire before turning fourty. But you wish you weren't given all of the credit, since your boyfriend's stories of his dodgy job has occasionally sparked some ideas for your stories. However the books you wrote in the past were usually meant for the young adult and had few mature themes. This time, you thought maybe it's time to garner extra inspiration from those stories.

You were met with some disappointment when you realised that your mug was empty, only a drop entering your mouth. "Here, babe, I'll ya some more," Pico said, taking your mug and walking inside. "Quick question," you stopped him. "Yeah?"

"What would be the best place for a murder cemetery?"

"... What?"

Chapter 1:

"So you're doing some story about the police hunting down a mass murderer?"

"Pretty much."

"And to think you were gonna write Pixar's next script. Aight' I respect that." Pico takes a seat next to you with a refill of your drink placed next to your favourite writing laptop. "Thanks, Pico. But yeah, I want to branch out to something edgier, and I think you can help too."

"Let me show you what I've got so far." You showed him some of your notes in a little notepad document, detailing the story thus far and your current plans for this chapter. "Oh, that's it? Just looks like boring police preparation mainly," Pico commented. "Yeah, it's not much right now. But it'll get juicy later." "And bloody?" "And bloody."

"Welp, I'm gonna head back in," Pico got up, "let me know if you need anything." He head back inside, closing the door, but then opened it almost immediately afterwards. Pico stuck his head out, "by the way, the guy should use some strong alcohol or something to throw off those sniffer dogs."

Chapter 2:

"And then, because they used a silencer, the police don't immediately notice the--"

"Nope! I'm calling bullshit (Y/N)!" Pico had suddenly interrupted your explanation of the scene you were currently working on. "Silencers can help prevent some hearing loss, sure, but they're not magic."

"Alright," you reply, "no silencer, but the killer still has to kill in a way to not get blood on them, so I thought shooting and killing them from a distance would work." "Well, they're alone. Instead, have the guy get shanked in the neck or something, and have the killer use a plastic bag as a glove. It saved my ass one time."

"Woah!" you exclaimed with a giggle, "you used a knife once? What happened to my trigger happy boyfriend, huh? That's pretty sus."

"I forgot to reload the Uzis, alright?"

"What an impostor would say."

Chapter 3:

"What would be the best way to muffle the scream of someone you kidnapped?"

You two were sitting on the couch together watching a show. You didn't have your laptop on you, so Pico didn't expect you to still be thinking about that book. "I can't say from experience, really," he said as he paused the show. "However, shove a rag in their mouth and duct tape it in, and you should be good."

"Thanks Pico, also one more thing." "Yeah?" "What if our killer also wanted to..." God, this one was gonna be awkward, but you had to say it or else no help. "You know, cut off this victim's willy. How would you do that?"

"Wai-wha-uh-ga," Pico started fumbling his words like never before. He stopped, then took a deep breath. "YO, WHAT THE FUCK?!" "It'll make sense in the story later, I promise!" You watch Pico begin to lose it, breaking into laughter. "Ladies, gentlemen, and others," Pico dramatically stood up, pulling a little Showcaster impression and directing his arms towards you, "my famous 'young' adult novelist partner!"

Chapter 4:

It was in the dead of night, but you awoke to Pico on his phone. His vpn was on and Tor was up. As per usual, he was checking up on his little hitman service, where others could request for a certain someone's guts to fly if they paid him a hefty sum first. Though tired, you ound this to be the best time to ask him some more questions.

"Pico, how do those sites work?"

"Oh, you're awake," Pico blankly stated, sleepy too. But he still answered you. "Basically, some anonymous rich guys in the area give me money and a target, then I just do the thing and send a mission accomplished email." "Do they pay you in person?" "Nah, we use always use Bitcoin. It's a lot harder to trace than real money."

"Thanks Pico. Goodnight," you wish him, yawning and going back to sleep. "You too... So this guy is a hit man too?" "Hush. Tomorrow." "Okay." Pico puts his phone away, leaving it on a nightstand. You then spoon the night away, peacefully thinking of murder as you drifted off.

Chapter 5:

On a morning similar to before, you two sat on the patio with your drinks and laptop at the ready. Pico watched rather awkwardly as you typed away, wondering why you haven't entertained him with another question yet.

"You gonna ask anything else?" "What? Oh, nah," you plainly state. Inevitable, sure, but he was kind of saddened. He liked being able to share his messed up wisdom. "So, you're done?" "Almost." You turn to look at him, "want the spoilers?" Pico smiled, "sure thing."

In the novella you and Pico crafted together, the main character is a cop who hunts down a killer. They eventually notice that there would be two murders at a time for unknown reasons. Well, it was unknown until one victim had left up a dark web hit man for hire site. They that the hit man not only kills the target, but the client as a hidden price for the service.

And any request will be fulfilled, according to the hit man's site.

"Do they catch 'em?" Pico asked. "Well, ANY request is granted. So, if our hero were to... hire him to kill himself..."

"No way!"

"He did. They find both of their bodies in his bedroom."

Pico was a bit impressed with the ending you came up with, but then he remembered something. "Why did that guy get his thing cut off?" "Lol, I forgot," you giggled. "He sent a message to the hit man, saying he wishes the target would choke on his dick."

"That's my favourite part."

Epilogue:

After everything was finished up, you sent the book off to your editor. After the initial joy of knowing how the story ended, you saw that Pico was still in thought. "What's up with you?" "Oh nothing, well it's just... I'm probably just biased, being that I'm a bit of a hitman myself, but it's kind of sad to see the guy go."

"Then I should spoil the epilogue I came up with." Rather than being excited, Pico nervously asked, "what's an epilogue?" He didn't get an answer, only you staring at him. "Sorry, school held too many bad memories for me to pay attention."

"Anyways," you continue, "the rest of the police gang did some background checks, and find that our killer was a normal guy with no criminal history."

"Penilian?"

"No. But I did decide to take a more supernatural approach here. Somewhere across the country, another string of double homicides occur and that site is active once more. And the story kind of repeats itself."

"Penilian."

"You joker," you give him a playful little kiss on the cheek, one that definitely caught him off guard. "So is it canon?" Pico smirked. "Nah, just thanking you for being my cute little co-author." "Oh," Pico started, "so we're flirtin' now, huh. Come here babe!" He tackled you onto the ground, giving you several kisses in exchange.

"Actually, I think we call that 'making out'," you chuckle out, flustered. "But that doesn't mean I said stop'!" You pull him in for more, accidentally bonking your heads together rather painfully. "Nice double kill there, (Y/N)."

That Smile; Luke Hemmings

description: in which you’re a songwriter, working on Youngblood with 5sos, when a certain blonde catches your eyes.

a/n: there will be a part 2 for this!

“AHHHH!” You threw your green mechanical pencil across the room. It bounced off of the wall, snapping in half, and landing in separate places. One ended up by the door by your shoes, the other on the couch, beside your purse, jacket, and water bottle.

A voice crackled through the speaker system, obvious laughter being bitten back. “Y/N, are you okay?”

You squeezed your eyes shut, hands in fists on either of your temples. You were on the floor, on your back, skinny jean clad legs sprawled out in front of you. Your t-shirt was ridden up on your stomach, revealing a thin strip of your skin to the room, which you were now realizing was freezing. Through welling goosebumps, you grumbled, “I’m never okay, Brad. You know this.”

“I had to check. We have legal obligations in the workplace,” he responded, this time chuckling throughout his spiel.

“Damn, OSHA,” you mumbled into your bottom lip.

Brad hesitated before his voice echoed back in, “They’re here, by the way. Making their way back now.”

“I’m not getting up yet. I’m still moping over my inability to properly write a single-“ your voice rose into a yell now, “fucking line about a stupid fucking boy!”

It was now that you realized the door to the studio was open with the head of receptionist Cindy in the room. “Is this a bad time?”

“I get paid to do this, I have no say,” you dropped your hands to your sides. “Let ‘em in.”

The four lanky boys shuffled in, two dressed like it was New York Fashion Week, the other two lazed about in sweatpants and hoodies. They stood awkwardly against the wall, unsure of how to go about greeting someone having a mental breakdown on the ground below them.

“Hello, I’m sorry, I’m trying to recover,” you began to sit up, back cracking in the process. You straightened your shirt out, catching eyes with the tall blonde. You swear, in the most cringey way, your breath caught in your lungs.

“You’re okay, we go through similar processes,” a curly headed, dirty blond remarked, giggling lightly.

“Yeah, I have plenty of photos of Calum laying on the floor like you were,” long fringe, bright eyes. Michael, perhaps?

You had familiarized yourself with photos of them on the internet, but were not at all confident you knew who they were. In fact, you couldn’t recall anyone’s name when the tall blonde who stole your breath offered his hand. You took it, your hand completely encased in his warm one. Without much efforts, he pulled you off the ground, nearly flush against his chest. But, you made sure to step back when you stood.

“Thanks,” you sighed, shuffling to the couch in your sock-clad feet. “Uh, I’m Y/N,” you introduced while clearing the seating area for them, “I’m sorry, I dont really know your names. Could you-?”

“Luke,” he stuck out the same hand for you to shake; you did.

Michael was who you suspected, Calum the jet black haired man Michael had mentioned, and Ashton the giggly one. You situated yourselves on the couches once you demanded they make themselves at home.

“So, this is your third album?” Of course you knew their music. If you were pairing with an artist on a new project, you had to familiarize yourself with their sound. You couldn’t write a Taylor Swift-like song for Lil Uzi Vert.

“Yeah,” Ashton answered, seemingly the spokesperson for the band. He was sat on the couch across from you, with Calum, Michael in the computer chair by the recording equipment. Luke was beside and, damn, did he smell good.

“What’s the motive?” They looked confused at the question, sharing a furrowed look. With a quick tuck of your legs underneath you on the couch, you launched into explanation, eyes moving from boy to boy. “So, you’re first album was very teen punk, kinda edgy, but safe with cute love songs and innocent forever young vibes. Sounds Good, Feels Good was super grunge with ballads about your actual feelings, a few love songs, and a handful of those same forever young vibes. It was, like, healing for you, almost. Like an album meant to truly introduce your fans to who you are. What do you want to say with this one?”

Luke cleared his throat beside you, “I dont know that we really have a vision with this one. We never really do.”

“Gosh,” you laughed, “no wonder they hired you guys a new songwriter. You have to have a plan! Otherwise it takes way too long and you have no idea what you’re doing. You’ve managed to do awesome without me, but this album, I promise, is going to be amazing.”

They, collectively, grinned at you. “I dont know about you, boys, but Ive got fucking chills!” Ashton exclaimed, shoving Calums shoulder, glancing at Michael.

You grinned back, proud with yourself and your words. You looked over at Luke who had a twinkle in his eyes, a smaller smile that seemed reserved for admiration to you.

-

You’d see that smile many times again throughout the process of writing their new album, later titled Youngblood after the first song you wrote together.

Ashton thought you were a bloody genius, as he would say, again and again.

“Its just a simple lyrical progression, Ash,” you coined his nickname a week into the process, “not that big of a deal.”

He still grinned, continuing to flip at your ‘talent’ with the randomest things.

When Youngblood, the song, was completely recorded and produced, you had a listening party in the small recording studio. You’d baked cupcakes and cookies for everyone, Calum had popped some champagne, and Michael brought his girlfriend along for the celebration.

You got along with Crystal well, chattering about makeup, music, and many other things before Brad came into the room with a frog shaped file USB. You stood from the couch beside Crystal and moved to stand beside Luke, who just so happened to be standing in the spot you wanted to. He smiled down at you, bouncing on his heels in excitement.

As Brad set up the file, Luke said, “The cupcakes are really good. As are the cookies, and the song. Everything, really.”

He was nervous around you. He was never nervous around girls. But something about your overwhelming talent, immense beauty, and super sweet personality made him jittery. He held tightly to his paper cup, nearly breaking in from his squeezing knuckles.

“Thank you, Luke,” you set a hand on his shoulder, prepared to say something else when the song began.

You’d heard it prior to this to ensure that it wouldn’t be utter crap. It was amusing and prideful for you to watch everyone’s jaws drops, to see Calum drop onto the couch with his head in his hands. Ashton danced around, Crystal leaned against Michael, praising his guitar and vocal bits. As the beat picked up and, soon, as it ended, Luke turned to you, lifted you in his arms, and spun you around. You were laughing, head thrown back, hands clutching at his hoodie-clad shoulders. When he set you down, you were still laughing, as was he. His laugh faded into that smile, that stupid smile.

-

The next time you saw it was halfway through the album. You had been losing sleep, between handling 5sos as a client and, now, Taylor Swift, who noticed your work through a friend. She wanted a new song, something uplifting and sweet. You agreed to help, not realizing that, now, you were overloaded. And, you weren’t able to devote your time to just 5sos.

One day, at the end of a long studio day, Luke noticed you on the floor of the recoding studio. Youd set yourself there when the boys starting gathering up their things, bidding your farewells with weary hands. Your eyes were no shut, hands resting on your stomach. Luke watched the boys leave and, having driven himself there, sat down beside you. He nudged your leg, gaining your attention through weary eyes.

“Hi,” he smiled, not quite in that way, but still sweetly. “Are you okay?”

“Stressed. Tired. Sick of writing. I haven’t been out with friends in so long and i want to, but all of my friends have normal lives with normal jobs. So they wont go with me during the week, and I cant on the weekends, because Ive been busy with Taylor Swift. God, never thought I’d say that sentence. Anyways, I just really want to get drunk and dance and then cry to someone about being sad, single, and so, so tired.”

“Well,” Luke resisted the urge to pick you up, place you in his lap, cradle you and coo you to sleep, “I’m sure I can urge Ash to have a party in his house. There’s plenty of people who dont care about their jobs or dont even have ‘em.”

You lifted yourself up on to your knees, “I would literally write you, like, an entire song if you got him to do that. I need a night away.”

“No need, I’m fine with one dance reserved for me,” there was the smile. “Oh, and a shot. We have to do a shot together.”

“I would do a million shots with you.”

He walked you to the parking lot, to your car, leaning against the door frame while you turned it on and buckled your seat belt. “Okay, so, Ill send you his address, and see you in a few hours?”

“See you.”

Now, what the hell were you going to wear?

4. Shabazz Palaces - Fast Learner

5. G-Herbo featuring Juice WRLD, Chance The Rapper and Lil Uzi Vert - PTSD

“People judge people from my city, or people who go through what we go through. It’s just the way you’re brought up and different situations that you experience that change your life and make you who you are. There’s a lot of people who would come to my city and not make it. There’s certain survival skills that you learn in Chicago from just naturally adapting to your environment. People judge us and outcast us from what they see on the outside but they really don’t know what’s going on on the inside. We’re making rational decisions because what we go through forces us to make those decisions. Just the older I get, the more serious I look at it. When I was younger I had my family taking care of me, and I was just living life like a kid. But by 14-15, there’s a lot of kids in my city who are living the lives of adults at that age. Other places people don’t live like that. When I was 16 I started to see people die around me. In my city theres so little to depend on, so people take other options to survive and make a way for themselves. At a young age you start learning this,” - G-Herbo, from an interview I did with him a few years ago.

“Even friends in a frenzy became ravenous

Brothers named universal, wise, supreme became savages

It's said the common thread with our enemies

Is we was all men in need with no amenities

Couldn't sit in peace, we each hit the streets for remedies

Through the hatred accumulate a hundred arms we was centipedes

The stress of empty pantries kept us antsy

No lie, essentials essentially in a shanty

Could give scripture but that big picture is what you can't see

Every grain I spelt is what helped enhance me

Went from gun waving to saving lives

I give sight to the blind just for the 85

That's what I was in the line of scrimmage

Lost some folks of course, that growth redefined percentage

Doomed in the womb, surprised I ain't see a hanger

Start questioning affection when all you see is anger,

But now I’m in good hands, surrounded by good women, good babies, good mans,”

Oil is Thicker Then Blood (Part 44)

The next morning was a slow one, spending the night in the buff, Uzi was curled up, head slotted into N's shoulder, her hand placed on his chest almost on top of his core. It was him who woke up first, groggy, humming in contentment as he turned to bury his face into her soft purple locks.

Despite the initial awkwardness, sleeping this way had definitely proven to be the best way to curb both of their needs. For the first time all week, he woke up feeling recharged and recovered instead of needy with a side of brain fog.

He couldn't help but trail his eyes down to his still sleeping girlfriend, [Sleep Mode] painted on her visor, she looked peaceful, content, she made a noise in her sleep purred as she tried to somehow bring herself closer.

How had they ended up this way? The day they met she had shot off his head and he'd tried to kill her. But here they were, she had enough trust in him to sleep completely exposed, he'd never ever, been this physically or emotionally close to anyone. He wasn't sure if he ever could with anyone else, his core fluttered as he continued to lovingly gaze at the drone beside him, drinking up her every detail.

He moved a strand of hair out of her face, only for his hand to linger and trace circles into her cheek, was it weird that even though they were as close as phyically possible he still wanted to touch her?

His alarm went off, internally ringing in his systems telling him it was time to get up and start getting ready, he really didn't want to, he wanted to stay here… just a little longer.

But it seemed even the universe around him wanted him to get up, because Uzi's eyes flickered on, opening slowly, a low whine escaped her lips, clearly not wanting to be awake.

“Morning precious.” He hummed, causing Uzi's first conscious action that morning to be groaning, blushing, and placing her whole palm on his face to shove him lightly.

“Too early…”

“Aw, but you are, you're so beautiful my precious little amethyst.” He couldn't stop himself, his core was overflowing with affection, he nuzzled into her neck, causing a peel of sleepy giggles to erupt from her mouth.

He took it up a notch, ceasing his nuzzling to place tiny kisses up and down her neck, Uzi squeaked, body tensing up for a moment before her giggling turned into squeals, clearly not prepared for his loving assault.

“Ah! N-no!-” Interrupted my more squealing laughter as N explored this newly found sensitive area “N! Hah-cut it out!” She protested through the wonderful sound that was her uncontrolled laughter.

He did stop, but not until she was breathless and squirming, giggles mixed in with small gasps.

But he still held her close from behind, his hand gripping her waist while he trailed a finger up her side, making her shiver as the featherlight touch was registered in her sensors.

“D-don’t you have work?” She asked, turning to face him as he looked at her with half lidded eyes, in all fairness, she was just trying to distract him, his touch had no business feeling that nice.

“You're not wanting to get rid of me, are you?” He replied, his voice husky and spoken directly into her audio receptors, the heat in her visor doubled, and she fought back an embarrassing squeak. Her body getting the drone equivalent to goosebumps.

His voice also had no business being as hot as it was, he had to be doing this on purpose.

“No. Of course not, j-just don't want you to be late.” She replied, shit, it had been her idea to sleep like this in the first place, but with N behaving… like this, she wasn't sure of it was a bad idea, or the best idea she'd ever had.

N meanwhile, was enjoying teasing his girlfriend immensely, there was very little for him to be nervous about when they were already nude, so it may have been bolstering his confidence a wee little bit.

He sighed, unfortunately she was right, it was his first real day of work and he would be late if he didn't get up, but even so, before he left he moved down to give Uzi a slow, meaningful kiss that had her processors melting into useless goo.

“Love you.” He hummed after it ended, chuckling at the heart that had replaced one of her eyes, she blinked, and it was gone.

“Love you too.” She replied back, every time she said it was always softer then her normal tone, and it always made N smile.

He threw the covers off and stretched before digging into his bedside table for his now freshly laundered coat, he pulled it over his shoulders and buttoned it with practiced speed, his tail thankfully not getting stuck this time.

He heard Tera chirp sleepily from her crib and went over to check on his daughter, she'd clearly just woken up, one eyelight open and the other shut as she yawned, arms stretching our towards him as a smile made it's way to her face.

“Morning Jellybean.” He pulled her into his arms as she immediately gripped onto the fur of his coat with one of her hands, she giggled at him, nearly vibrating with energy.

“Papa!” She beamed, blinking up at her father, he tapped her visor with his finger in response, causing it to glitch for a moment and a peel of happy laughter to escape her mouth.

“Be good for mommy okay? I'll be back later.” Tera nodded her head clumsily yet rapidly, And N set her back into her crib, she stood on both her legs for a moment, before falling backwards into the nest of pillows.

He strolled into the kitchen, taking his hat from the rack and looking at it, it no longer bared the pilot emblem on the front, instead he'd replaced it with his WDF badge, the old emblem being stored away in his nightstand.

Maybe one day he'd give it to Tera… when she grew out of trying to eat everything small enough to fit in her mouth.

He put it on his head, grabbed his container of oil, took a big gulp of it, before stashing it in his pocket and heading out the door.

People still looked at him strangly, sometimes with fear or with worry, but after so many months in the bunker, he more often then not was paid little mind, being relegated to normal bunker activity for most of the drones he passed going about their day.

It gave him a little hope, one day he'd not be feared anymore, he just had to be patient, and work to earn people's trust.

“N! Buddy! Ya look way better then yesterday!” He heard Hal behind him and he turned the give the man a beaming smile, he'd been right in front of the WDF office ready to open the door.

“Yeah…just needed to be home I guess.” He said sheepishly, a not-so-well hidden blush on his face.

“That girl must be a doll with ya, with a face like that.” Hal chuckled, a knowing look on his face that only succeeded in making N blush more.

“I'm only teasin’. Come on, let's get ya acquainted.” Hal led him inside with a hand on his back and a smile on his face, the man looked incredibly jolly and his smile was quickly spreading to N.

There were a few people already inside, namely Khan and Dale, which were having some sort of conversation behind the translucent, marbled glass of Khans private office, Guy was here too, though asleep with his legs propped up on the desk, Hal rolled his eyes.

“Kid has no respect…” The typically jolly drone mumbled under his breath, shaking his head and making his beard shake with the movement.

There were several other people there he didn't recognize, a couple drones waved at him, including a green eyed woman with glasses that seemed to beam at him, he waved back, happy to see friendly faces even if he didn't know them yet.

“Alright, here's your desk!” Hal stopped and gestured over to a desk to his right, two desks behind Guy, it was absent of any kind of decoration or tool, aside from a bronze plaque.

Elliot, S-D N.

He inwardly cringed at that, his “last name” carrying a lot of baggage that he truly didn't want tied to him, he didn't want to carry the name of those who hurt him, but now it was here, on his desk.

“Didn't know ya had a last name.” Hal pointed out, his hand combing through his beard as he looked between N and the nameplate.

“I-I don't. Just something I had to do for my daughter…” N explained, he tore his eyes away from it, and looked at Hal for whatever else he had to say.

“Well alright! You're gonna be shadowing me today, seeing as I'll be the one you'll mostly be working under.”

N was surprised at that, as far as he was aware, he was working under Khan.

Seeming to read his mind, Hal spoke up again. “Khan’s leader of the Engineering team, unless you know about hydraulics n’ math, you won't see him much.”

“I'm Chief of Police, Dale covers outside threats, through he's had a lot less to do lately…” Hal trailed off before shaking his head free of whatever thought was plaguing him.

“I'm sure if something serious came from outside he'd come get you, but for now, I'm taking ya.”

“Aye, aye captain.” N gave him a salute that had been programmed into him, Hal looked amused for a moment, before he chuckled.

“This ain't the military son, but I like your spirit.” There was a beep on Hal's visor and his florescent pink eyelights flickered to the side, his face falling slightly as he read through whatever report he'd been sent.

“Agh… not again.” He grumbled, looking unamused as he pinched his visor. N cocked his head.

“Is something wrong?”

“Just Old Mrs. Hopkins calling in another “break in”. No one's ever broken in, She's just paranoid n’ her memories going.”

“Still, we gotta check it out. Can't just ignore it. Stay here, let me go get my coat.”

Hal disappeared into a door in the back, inside one of the three private offices that was in the room, in another moment, he reappeared in a coat that was a little too small for him, opened completely to continue to show off the red shirt he normally wore. His badge was pinned near his collar.

“Come on, this should be an easy one.”

Kevin’s New Toy

Kevin was eight.

He was your average boy.

He grew up on a farm in southern New Jersey with his mother, and father.

Since he was an only child, life around the farm was boring. If he wasn't helping his father, you could find Kevin playing video games, or out in the forest at the end of the fields.

Kevin enjoyed going on imaginary adventures, however, there was one part of the forest he was forbidden to go near. That dreaded place was the stream near the nuclear power plant. Kevin himself didn't want to wind up glowing in the dark at night. So he listened to his mother, for once, about this one little thing.

It was an average Saturday morning on the farm. Kevin had found a treasure trove of slugs in an old tree stump near the forest. After finding his discovery, he ran back to the farm house to get the salt shaker. He was going to kill every single rotten one of these little critters.

Now I don't know about you, but if you mix salt, and slugs, you get a hell of a grimey, slimey mess. Kevin knew this, and he was aching to make the biggest mess of slug... whatever, all over the place!

As he leaned over the tree stump, he shook, and shook the salt all over the helpless little slugs. These creatures were Kevin’s sworn enemy! He would kill them all, and let god sort them out.

Each one fizzed like soda, and pop rocks mixed together. He loved the smell of dying slugs in the morning. He played out scenes of a war movie with his salt shaker uzi. "DIE YOU SCUM!!! DIE!!!"

It was obvious that Kevin had issues.

Boredom perhaps, or maybe the old PS3 wasn't good enough anymore. It had lost its luster since the PS4 release, and since his parents couldn't afford the PS4 right now, he would take it out on the little, pathetic slugs on the old tree stump.

"KEVIN!!! YOUR UNCLE IS HERE WITH THE DELIVERY, COME HELP YOUR FATHER!!" Kevin’s mother called across the field, surprisingly audible with the distance between them.

However, Kevins mother was a big old woman, well not really old, she was only 35. However, she was big none the less.

Kevin didn't know this, but Kevins father was what they call a feeder, someone who loves big ole fat women, and will feed them until they are the size that man desires. Kevins mother had reached about 350 pounds, and Kevins father was just not happy yet. He needed more lovin than 350 pounds, that’s for sure.

Kevin, however, like his father, was a skinny little athletic male, and he had no problems dashing across the field, leaving about five slugs alive on the tree stump.  He arrived at the driveway as the beat up red pickup pulled up the long dirt road, over the dreaded stream, and into the dirt driveway of Kevin’s rundown, need a new paint job, white, and fifty shades of grey house.

"HEY UNCLE BOB!!" Kevin yelled, as kids do yell a greeting.

"HEY SQUIRT!" Uncle bob yelled back, and embraced his nephew. Uncle Bob was about 25, and loved that beat up old pick up. It was his favorite thing to bring into town on a Friday night, and pick up a couple of drunks for a good ole time back at the hay loft of his own farm.  You know, playing corn hole, and such.

"I GOT YOU A PRESENT KEVIN, BUT YER NOT GETTIN IT TILL THIS HERE COW LICK IS ALL STACKED IN THA BARN, YA EAR?" Uncle Bob said, pointing towards the bed of the truck. The truck was filled with foot, by foot square cubes of huge salt. Ready to be licked by the lets lick salt cows that were being milked as of yet in the barn.

Kevin could hear the humming of the tank as the tubes sucked on the udders of the cows. Past the truck Kevin happened to notice his fathers brand new 2018 Japanese brand pick up truck. That could also be the reason Kevin didn't have a FUCKIN PS4! He wondered about that sometimes.

"Kevin, you ready to help?" Kevins father asked.

"SURE THING PAW!" Kevin said with his happy ‘lets work on the farm’ glee.

He started carrying the heavy blocks into the barn. This lasted for about a half an hour until the job was done. With the three of them it took quick work to move all the blocks. However, on to more important things. Kevin was getting something, maybe a PS4!!!

"CMERE BOY!" Kevins Uncle called over to him. Kevin, ran over to the drivers side of the old truck, where his uncle had already opened the door, and held an all American can of suds in his hands.

"ERE, OLD THIS WHILE I GET THE REAL PRESENT FOR YA!"

He handed Kevin a large coffee tin of something.

Kevin looked inside the coffee can, there were little metal balls, all the size of marbles. He shook it a little to hear them loudly exchange places with each other while hitting the side of the old coffee can that barely still read "FOLDGERS" on it.

"ERE IS THA REAL PRESENT KEVIN, YOU TAKE THIS, AND BY LORD JESUS BE CAREFUL!"

Kevins uncle handed him... a slingshot? Kevin didn't know if he should be happy, or pissed.

"DON'T BE BREAKIN ANY WINDOWS WIT IT, AND DON'E BE SHOOTIN YER FATHERS CATTLE NOW, YA EAR?" Kevins uncle was firm in his trailer slang of instructions. Kevin looked up at him realizing he was just given the most dangerous toy ever. He could cause massive destruction with this. Kevins father saw the look in his son's eyes.

"Kevin, please don't get any ideas okay son?" Kevin’s father begged.

"Yes Paw." Kevin said sadly.  What he really wanted to say was, 'WHY CANT I SHOOT EVERY STINKIN PERSON IN TOWN OUT OF ANGER BECAUSE YOU GOT A NEW TRUCK, AND I HAVE NO PS4???'

"That’s my boy, go get some old cans out of the recycle bin in the kitchen, you can set them up on the fence over there, and practice. Okay?"

Kevin smiled at his father, and headed into the house to get some old cans.

“EY THERE BOY, GIVE ME MAH BEER BEFORE YOU GO TAKIN OFF WITH IT!”  Kevin was so excited he forgot the beer, but you know old Bob didn’t.

Kevin sure was happy with his new toy. However, come to find out, this toy was actually older than Kevin himself! It was Kevin’s grandfathers slingshot he used as a boy when he would play war outside with the other kids in town. Then Kevin's uncle got it in the will, and now Kevin’s uncle was passin it down to him!

The night came soon, Kevin had shot the entire coffee can full of oversized BB's at cans all day. He had dented some so bad he needed to run inside, and get new ones a couple of times. After hours of practice he became a crack shot, and couldn't wait to go huntin in the forest with it! That would truly test his skill!

Kevins mother waddled in to kiss him good night after he took his bath.

Kevin laid in bed with his trusty slingshot on the nightstand next to his beat up old lamp. As his mother kissed him good night, and told him how precious he was, she shut the door behind her, he grabbed the slingshot off the nightstand, and held it close.

He looked out the window at the old nuclear power plant in the distance. He liked watching it glow at night, it made him feel at peace. Tonight it was glowing green though, something he had never seen it do before. It was purty that’s for sure.

Kevin set his new favorite toy back on the nightstand, and then rest his head back on the pillow continuing to watch the power plant. In the distance Kevin could hear his father, his mother, and uncle come upstairs, and into his parents bedroom. His parents, and his uncle had been drinking all night. The smell of beer on his mothers breath still lingered in the room, even with the window open.

Kevin could hear some laughter coming out of his parent bedroom. This was a usual occurrence on Saturday night. They got drunk, then Kevin went to bed. Then they went into his parents bedroom, and they started laughing. Sooner or later he would hear them yelling, and screaming, but it didn't sound like fighting. They would start talking weird talk. "YOU SURE DO GOT PRETTY MELONS!" Kevin would hear his uncle say.

Kevin thought that grown ups were strange, but put the three of them together Saturday night, all loaded up, eating fruit, and ahem, “cats”, and they sure made the weirdest noises he ever did hear. Kevin just concentrated on the glow of the nuclear power plant, and soon drifted off to sleep.

There was a pounding at the door downstairs. Kevin didn't hear it, but his father did. "Who the hell would come calling at four in the damn morning?" He said to himself as he made his way out from between his brother, and wife. He went downstairs to the door, and opened it to reveal a police officer, and his partner.

"What seems the be the problem officer?" Kevin’s father asked barely awake, and drool running down his chin.

"Sir we need you, and your family to evacuate. There is an emergency over at the power plant. They think it may have a meltdown at any moment. You need to gather your family, and leave now!" The police officers were very serious, and who wouldn't be? They didn't want their asses to be this close to the plant if it had a melt down either.

"Right away sir, thank you officer." Kevin’s father said, then he closed the door, and started running around like a mad man.

Kevin’s father woke up his sibling, and wife as they lay in bed together, butt naked. Kevin’s father screamed something incoherent about the power plant, and the jiggly jello of Kevin’s mother found its way into elephant panties, and a bathrobe. Kevin’s uncle was already out of the house, clothes or not, no one could tell.  That’s how fast he was gone.

Kevin woke up by himself, just as his father was coming in his door to get him. Kevin heard everything his father had said. He also didn't understand a word he said when he poked his head into Kevin’s door making sure he was up, and getting dressed. It was something like, "KEVIN, POWER PLANT, DIE, OH MY GOD, LOOK, BASKETS!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Kevin himself was calm.

He wasn't grasping the full terror of the night, and he looked out over at the power plant. He stood up, grabbed his slingshot, and looking out the window noticed something down in the fields. The cows that were out to pasture for the night, they were being attacked in the moonlight. Something was eating them! Something huge!!! Kevin couldn't understand what he was seeing. He could hear the cows mooing in pain one by one as the fields were filled with these moving, things. Kevin watched as one of these lump looking creatures threw itself over a cow, and devoured it!

Kevin, gripping his slingshot tightly, knew he had to save the farm from these creatures! Maybe then he would get his PS4!!!

After putting on some sneakers, jeans, boxers (Kevin told his mother he needed room to grown, and she agreed), a t-shirt, and some socks (not in that order mind you), he loaded his pockets full of shiny metal marbles.

His parents were running around in such a frantic mess, they never noticed Kevin head out the back door, and across the field toward the dying cows. One of these huge ten foot tall piles of brown noticed Kevin with its antenna eyes. It roared a blood thirsty roar as Kevin approached.

Kevin stopped in his tracks, he recognized these creatures! They were moving a little slowly, but fast enough to jump on cows, and devour them after creeping up for ten minutes. They were giant mutant slugs, about five of them.

Kevin almost shit his britches.

The slug that noticed Kevin started inching its way toward him, it was going to get its revenge for all of the slugs Kevin had killed, if it took all night! At this speed it just might too.

Kevin knew if it got close enough it would be able to jump on him, and eat him alive!

Kevin held the slingshot ahead of him, and loaded a metal ball into it. He pulled it back, and shot the target that was so big only Helen Keller would miss it. She had a 99% chance of hitting it too. When the ball hit, the slimy skin made a popping sound as slime, and ooze poured out of it. Somewhere Kevin could hear his father calling for him, but the roar coming out of the slug quickly drowned it out.

The metal ball only pissed it off, and now it was coming at him like a rocket! Well a rocked at slug speed that is. Then Kevin had an epiphany. He turned away from the threatening slug just fifteen feet away, and ran towards the tool shed.

Kevin grabbed a plastic bag that lay among a bevy of other plastic bags after throwing open the door to the tool shed. All of them read Wal*Mart, Family Dollar, or NJ Liquors.

He grabbed the biggest Wal*Mart bag he could find, and then a hammer. After that, he bolted out of the door. Kevin could still hear his father screaming desperately for him in the house. However, Kevin knew he could save the farm!

He broke into the barn like a snowplow hitting a freshly dead deer laying on the side of the road. He found the salt lick, and started beating away at it with the hammer. Nice sized chunks perfect for slingshot-ting fell away from the cow lick. He loaded them into the bag until it was full, then he headed back out into the field as Kevin’s father continued to yell for him inside the house.

He heard his mother yell to at one point, but he wasn't concerned about them. They could stay in the house where it was safe, he had a job to do.

He made it back out to the slugs, the one he shot had tried to follow him, and had made it about two feet!

These things were dangerous!

Kevin started firing at them. The salt chunks cut through the soft skin of the slimy bastards like a hot knife through butter! Kevin fired away at the slug coming after him! It reared back in pain, its body standing on its slug ass as it roared in agony! Kevin pelted it with more salt, and soon the creature lay dead, melting in an oozing bog of slug slime!

Kevin made light work of the others. They all attempted to kill him, to get revenge for their slug brothers Kevin had slaughtered before. However Kevin was the Slug Slayer!

In minutes he was victorious! He had them boiling over with guts, and slug slop out onto the fields. The battle field ran brown with remnents of Slug. Kevin only had one thing to say.

"DATS RIGHT MOTHA FUCKAS!"

Suddenly Kevins felt two arms grab him, and then he was being dragged across the field back towards the house. His father screamed, "I FOUND HIM! GET IN THE CAR!"

The family made their escape into the moonlit night, away from the power plant, and Kevin’s victorious battle.

In the following few days, it came to be that the whole meltdown episode was a false alarm. However, there was a leak of nuclear waste into the stream.

For days scientists, and men dressed in suits visited Kevin's farm.

They removed the bodies of the slugs, and tested the waters of the stream.

Then they were gone.

Kevin’s father was proud of his boy for saving the cattle. The farm was only missing ten out of thirty, and if it wasn't for Kevin’s quick thinking, they would have lost the whole herd.

Kevin’s father was so happy with him, he did eventually did buy Kevin a PS4!!!

Alice-I couldn't agree more

They summoned their brooms and flew off to their respectable cabins for the night but before Susie went inside she had to say

And she turned in for the night as everyone who was on the island has fallen asleep. But while afar from the island there was a being in the water he was soaked he couldn't move only thing that could was the waves as he was being pushed by them.

???:is that an island oh thank god im saved *grunts* ow oh yeah forgot I can move just yet I hope when I get there someone who take this out I don't even know how I'm alive right now *coughs up blood* aw shucks probably should've kept my mouth shut *falls unconscious* uuugghhh.

Alice-That's even worse! I gotta get him to the infirmary quick

As she picked up the unconscious elephant and got on her broom and flew as faster than she ever flown before.

Alice-Betsy!Susie! We got a elephant down I repeat elephant down I'm taking him to the infirmary can one of you meet me there please he's losing a lot of blood as we speak!

captain america!peggy and angie being stuck in a life or death situation together maybe natasha comes and meets angie at some point

cap!peggy and angie have a whole fic trajectory that is unwritten (all in my mind), so this little ficlet is set way after that. you will catch allusions to an event that has not happened in the existing i broke my bones playing games with you, but takes place in the future!!!! one day i’ll write them, and you’ll see. it doesn’t really change the meaning of this, tho, so don’t worry!!!!!!!!!!!!

i’m celebrating my 1,000th follower by writing lil prompties

“So, what do you want for dinner tonight, darling?” Peggy asks from where she’s settled up against the wall of the vibranium-walled room some asshole of a supervillain has procured for them. How she had been swept in this anyway was a mystery; one second, she had been chasing a hipster with a concern for the environment from their front door, and the next thing, the hipsters had Uzis. Apparently, their ever-helpful next door neighbor and personal bodyguard, Sharon, had been out and about that morning, because - all of a sudden, she was in a vibranium room that echoed too much. Peggy had joined her shortly afterward, knocked out and bleeding, and that was about that.

“I feel like someone who’s been superheroing this long should know better than to chase right after the people who kidnapped their girlfriend,” Angie says. She crosses her arms and glares at Peggy, who seems perfectly content in their imprisonment.

“I was worried about you,” Peggy says, looking at her nails and adjusting the collar of her suit. Her shield had been confiscated at some point, which was just - wonderful, really.

“Ain’t my first rodeo, English,” Angie says, and Peggy rolls her eyes, knocking her head against the wall behind her. “So, who’s coming to rescue us, since it sure as hell isn’t you?”

“Angie,” Peggy says. There’s a big old frown coming up on her pretty face, and Angie rolls her eyes in return.

“You can’t just run off into danger every time I get myself kidnapped,” Angie says. “Use your big brain. Weren’t you just telling Paulie all about pramatism and whatnot?”

“Paulie is a contestant on Jeopardy,” Peggy says, crossing her arms and glaring at Angie.

“I’m aware of that,” Angie says. “And you talked to me last night, while I was trying to sleep - for a full forty minutes - about how you felt Paulie wasn’t being pragmatic enough with his wagers.”

“He wasn’t,” Peggy says. “He was winning on pure luck!”

“You’re a dunce,” Angie mutters, watching as a reddish glow starts up on the wall behind Peggy. “You’re an absolute dunce.”

“Most people aren’t so rude to Captain America,” Peggy says. She moves away from the wall as it starts to warp, crawling over closer to Angie, her wrists bound with super special superhero gauntlets which they had, for some reason, felt the need to attach to Angie as well.

“Most people aren’t Captain America’s girlfriend,” Angie says. “Who would prefer Captain America to calm down with the heroics and be a pragmatic bettor.”

“Captain America loves her girlfriend and would rather die than let her be killed over something so petty,” Peggy says. The hole in the wall is widening, as a yellow glow joins the red one. Now they can hear the sounds of a fight from beyond the hole, as the vibranium gets pushed outward.

“Just because one rogue Hyrda agent wants to bait you into fighting him doesn’t mean you need to be a dumbass fish and take the bite,” Angie says. “You’ve got friends. Wait around for them before you come after me. I’ve lived through worse.”

Peggy frowns, but before she can respond, probably with something stupid and guilty sounding, the wall finally gives way enough for Wanda to stride in, stepping over the melting and resistant vibranium and smiling gently at the both of them. The red on the wall fades away as she directs her magic at the gauntlets on their wrists, popping them open.

“Thank you, Wanda,” Peggy says, clambering to her feet and offering Angie a hand which she begrudgingly takes. “Who else came?“

“No problem,” Wanda returns. “The sounds of violence you hear are Natasha, and Viz is handling the wall, and Steve’s in the quinjet.”

“Ms. Romanov seems upset with your kidnapping, Ms. Martinelli,” Vision says, his head popping through an unopened part of the wall. “And Mr. Rogers said to tell you that you’re in trouble, Ms. Carter.”

“I’m glad that she’s in trouble,” Angie says, brushing past Wanda and patting at Vision’s head as she heads through the hole they’ve created together. “I can’t wait to hear him chew you out in front of everyone for our entire ride home.”

She hears Peggy groan behind her.

-

“Are you really going to be upset with me about this all night?” Peggy asks, watching as Angie takes a stab at the penne she cooked sheepishly when they got home. Sharon had, in accordance with Angie’s cause, lectured Peggy about security protocol, which had followed the three hours of lecture from Steve about being a dumbass in the quinjet. Wanda had giggled through most of it.

“At least for the next few hours,” Angie says, taking a sip from her wine glass. Peggy sighs, leaning back in her chair and watching Angie carefully.

“You said you’ve been through worse,” Peggy says. Angie rolls her eyes, rolls her wine around in her glass before looking steadily at her girlfriend.

“Yeah, we know that,” Angie says. “And I swear, it’s fine.”

“I know you say it’s fine,” Peggy says. “But it isn’t fine. You shouldn’t have had to go through - listen, Angie. I love you. I want to protect you.”

“Then don’t go firefighting,” Angie says. “When you get the chances, stop the fire before it starts! It’s easy. Here’s another metaphor: instead of taking the morning after pill, why don’t you just - ”  

“Angie,” Peggy says, interrupting Angie’s brilliant sex metaphor.

“Peg,” Angie returns, setting her glass down and levelling her gaze at her girlfriend. “I’m not made of glass. I love that you’re a hero, and I love you, and I want to protect you too, but protecting doesn’t mean throwing yourself into danger every time shit goes down in the name of protecting me. I want you to stick around, not get your head hacked off by a zealot. What if Nat had been pissed at you today? What if Vision hadn’t wanted the challenge of bending vibranium?”

“Okay,” Peggy says. Angie blinks, her mouth still halfway around a longer list of possible reasons Peggy might’ve been a lone wolf.

“Okay?” Angie asks.

“Okay,” Peggy says. “I’m sorry, darling.”

“Did Nat punch you in the head too hard earlier? You feelin’ woozy?”

Peggy rolls her eyes, but when she smiles at Angie, Angie smiles back.

Battle Royale: Kpop - Ch. 2 - 36 students remain

“This kid really left without me.” I said out loud, moving to a crouching position. I was trying to see if he was coming late but all I saw was the closed door of the school building, signalling that all the students had left and the game has started.

  “Okay, I’ll search for him but first I have to get set and ready.” I muttered, loading my Uzi with the provided bullets before ripping loose fabric from a hoodie in my personal bag, wrapping it around my waist to make a weapon holder of sorts. To my luck, it worked, the gun situating right inside the loop I made for an easy draw if it’s needed. Then I took out the map, scanning it.

  “Okay so if I go east I should end up at the clinic. But that’s if I travel through the whole night. If I go south for about two hours I could end up at the small houses and rest there until dawn.” I thought, deciding that sleeping in the house would be a better choice than trekking through the night on no sleep.

  With that in mind, I started my travel.

  I was about one hour into my travel when I heard it. The sound of a branch cracking quite close. The sound instantly had me rolling into a bush, turning off my flashlight and relying on my good night vision. Then I saw it.

  There was a boy no more than 30 steps away from me, standing stock still and looking around in fear. I drew my gun and stood up, pointing it at him. “Who are you and why are you following me?” I asked, making the boy cry out and drop to the ground.

  “P-Please don’t kill me! I’m trying to find my best friend and boyfriend a-and you are the only person I’ve seen. I know I should’ve asked right away to accompany you but I was hesitant because - no offense - you seem quite scary.” The boy whispered, his voice tiny and betraying his strong, wide build.

  I slowly lowered my gun, sliding it back into the slot I made before helping the boy up. “Sorry about the gun, but kid you really should learn not to sneak up on people. Especially in the situation we’re in. What’s your name anyway?” I asked, starting to walk and not protesting when the kid fell into step beside me.

  “I’m Jeon Jungkook. You’re In-Ha, right?” He asked, smiling as I nodded in response. “I’m looking for my boyfriend Yoongi and my best friend Kim Taehyung, have you seen them anywhere?” Jungkook wondered, stopping as I froze. “I’m also looking for Taehyung.” I said, pulling out my map and writing the three names down.

  “Aren’t you just a transfer student? How do you know him?” Jungkook asked and on the outside I appeared fine, but on the inside I was scrambling for an answer. So I decided to go the simplest route and use my cold voice.

  “I believe it is none of your business why I’m looking for him. I do, however, think you should be more grateful that I didn’t shoot you dead when I found you following me.” I said, not even looking at him as I resumed my pace. “In fact if you even try to cross me in the wrong way I know how to kill you.”

  Without even looking I could tell he was terrified. “H-How do you know how to do that? I mean, you are so small.” Jungkook said, eyes widening when I drew my gun and shot into the air, hitting a bird that was flying over us and sending it falling to the ground before tucking the gun back in. “Nevermind then...”

  “How I know this stuff is also none of your business. But if you must know some of it, I suppose you could say that I’ve been in a situation similar to this before. Now are we going to keep playing 20 questions, or am I allowed to go on my merry way?” I asked, raising an eyebrow when Jungkook sputtered. “What, did you REALLY think I’d let you come with me? Look, you seem nice enough but I can’t take the risk of you betraying me the minute I turn my back. If you couldn’t tell by the scars, I have turned my back one too many times.” I said, the last part making me grimace for a second.

  “Please let me come with you! I have no idea where to go, a shit weapon and….I’m really fucking scared okay? I’ll do anything.” He said, making me sigh and consider the options in front of me.

  “Fine. But you are coming with me so you follow my rules, got it kid?” I asked, nodding in approval when Jungkook agreed. “Good. Right now we are going to the residential houses for the night. We aren’t staying in the same one so you can take the one next to where I am. You don’t disturb me during the night unless you hear some shit going down. Also, don’t break into my house because I will kill you.”

  “Yes, that’s perfectly fine! You won’t even know I’m there I promise.” He said, making me roll my eyes with a small smile as we walked. “Uhm...Sorry if it seems like I’m intruding but I am really curious about this. So if you don’t mind answering, where did you get those scars from, In-ha?” I gave him a side-eye and cleared my throat. “Last year I was in this game. I was the only survivor but I took a beating. Got shot and cut up until the last one was dead. Trust me kid, if I knew back then what this game was, I would’ve jumped off a cliff and committed suicide the minute I left the school.” I explained, finally making it to the cottages and checking one out. “Come in, it’s still early so we can talk more.”

  Jungkook followed me in and sat on a chair as I took the bed. “You’d commit suicide? But….that’s so horrible to do!” He said, making me pull out a smoke and begin to talk. “I’m not going to try and justify that suicide is the best thing to do in this situation because in the end, it is all down to the person and their morals. To some kids it was the only option for them, not wanting to kill anyone because they found it too hard or wrong so, they took their own lives instead. We had about 3 kids who did that.” I said quietly, taking another drag.

“But on the other hand, I didn’t have a problem killing my classmates. I hated them all since they were a bunch of assholes. So why would I kill myself you ask?” I watched him nod in curiosity. “Taking my own life would’ve been better than what you endure after the game is over. Therapy, nightmares and reporters up in your face at every waking moment. The game changes you, kid. Trust me when I say that you have 2 options right now. You can either kill your classmates and deal with life afterwards- well, what life you’d still have - or, you can kill yourself - and/or get someone who doesn’t care to kill you. Personally, taking in everything I’ve seen, I’d suggest you do the second option. Jungkook you aren’t cut out for this game.” I said, throwing out the cigarette as he thought. “I-If...If I asked you to kill me, would you do it?” Jungkook whispered, not looking into my eyes. “Just tell Yoongi that I love him. He’s a short, grumpy boy with green hair.” He explained, kneeling on the floor and keeping his head down. I picked up my gun without a word, pressing it to Jungkook’s skull. “Jungkook I actually have to apologize to you before I do this. Remember how I said, we can stay together?” I asked, cocking the gun as he let out a small ‘’Yes.” “My purpose here is to protect Kim Taehyung and nobody else. So, sorry, but I had no intention of letting you live anyway.” I said, shooting him without hesitation. I watched with blank eyes as his head blasted open, blood and brain matter spraying everywhere. He fell to the side and landed face down as I put my gun back and gathered my stuff, heading out the door and to the clinic with a sadistic smile on my face.

  “I told you Jungkook, this game changes people.”

This Night - Chapter 3

TITLE: This Night AUTHOR: Mikimoo RECIPIENT: tristen84 PAIRING: JayDick RATING: Mature WARNINGS: Off screen Non-Con, murder of innocent young people, violence SUMMARY: The Red Hood and Officer Grayson are on the same case. A small misstep has far reaching consequences for them both.

Chapter 1, 2

Gunfire echoed down the passageways, but Jason kept his pace slow and careful – no use getting them all killed if he could help it. They were close to the command center now, only a few winding corridors away.

The scuff of a boot warned him of the ambush up ahead – they weren't the only ones who were being more cautious. Jason held out an arm and Ruiz obediently stopped. Her face looked grim in the dim lights of the generator. He pointed her to the opposite wall, and she went – it was so nice to work with someone who could take and understand orders.

How to break the ambush though? They had no cover except for the angle of the intersection, and between himself and Ruiz they had a very limited amount of ammo. 

Jason crept as close as he dared, he couldn't risk looking around the corner, but without doing so he couldn't be sure if they were aware of him or not. If they weren’t, then surprise might be the only ace they had. But if they did know, and were waiting with their fingers on  triggers, any attack would be short, pointless and probably fatal.

Jason kept quiet and listened. There was shuffling, tiny scuffs, the clink of weapons against belts. Then the crackle of a radio, “Situation contained,” the barely audible, and tinny sounding voice said in Spanish.

Jason grit his teeth. Was the 'situation' Dick? And if so, what did contained mean?

“Can you get us a visual?” One of the guards replied in the same language.

“Negative, visual off line,” the crackly voice replied. Then there was just more static.

“Dammit!” Another voice said, this one in English, with an American accent, Jersey probably. “There could be dozens of them down here, why are we fighting blind? Lets get topside and then just smoke the bastards out.”

“Shut up!” the first guy said, in English.

“I didn't sign on to get picked off like this!” Jersey said.

Jason guessed he was new to this game - the waiting and watching part seemed to be getting to him.

“Get back to your place or I will shoot you!” First guy didn't seem impressed, or like he was someone to be messed with.

“Fuck you!” Jersey replied loudly, and then stepped right out into Jason's line of sight. “Shit!” he shouted and raised his weapon.

Well, there went the element of surprise. Jason shot the guy between the eyes and was running back to the relative safety of the previous passage before the body had even hit the floor.

Gunfire ricocheted down the corridor behind him. Jason shot the occasional round, just to keep them from advancing, but in truth it was a only a matter of time until they were overwhelmed, and both sides knew it.

The men arranged themselves at the opposite end of their hiding place. First guy shouted, “You are surrounded! Come quietly and I'll let you live!”

“Fuck your living!” Ruiz yelled from behind Jason, “You come at us and I'm going to kill as many as I can before I go down!”

Jason nodded, and checked his ammo again. “Took the words right out of my mouth, Officer Ruiz.” He raised his voice, “Come get us, you shitheads!”  Beside him he felt Ruiz tense and brace herself to shoot. She seemed like someone who knew what she was doing and Jason trusted her to know her business. They were out gunned, out numbered and out manoeuvred. But like Ruiz said, if he was going to die here, he was going to take down as many of these fucks as he could.

“I only have a handful of bullets left,” Ruiz whispered. “I guess you have similar issues?”

“Yeah. We can’t hope to hold them off for long, not when they’re so heavily armed. We might do best to save our bullets and see if we can get them to come to us.”

“Pretend we have run out? Sounds like our only option.”

They stopped shooting and waited. Time seemed to stretch, each breath Jason took sounded loud as a drum to his ears. A peak around the corner using the reflection in his blade, showed men creeping towards them, not long to wait now. He figured he could take out at least half of them, before one of them got a lucky shot.

Then they heard a strange clattering sound echoing up the corridor. It was hard to tell where it came from and Jason risked another quick glance at the approaching guards, they looked as confused as he was. They were starting to turn towards the sound when there was a sudden rapid shower of bullets, aimed low and striking a number of men in the legs and knees. Those that didn't fall in the first assault turned to return fire. Jason didn't know who was shooting, but they were his only chance.

“Cover me!” he shouted to Ruiz, and rolled into the center of the passageway, this might be their only hope and he was going to give it all he had. As Jason came out of his tumble he took aim and fired; all headshots - this totally counted as self-defense. He didn't see if he hit his intended targets as he was already moving, but he was aware of Ruiz in position behind him as he fetched up against the far wall.

The clattering intensified, and Dick-motherfucking-Grayson suddenly shot past the opening to the corridor. He was sitting on the damn swivel chair, travelling at an impressive speed and firing an Uzi at the rapidly dwindling guards.

Jason blinked. A very welcome, but also very strange sight. The chair notwithstanding, Dick firing a semi-automatic nearly short circuited Jason's brain. But it only startled him for a moment and he quickly shot at the fallen guards who looked like they might still be thinking of turning a weapon on them. Because of course Dick hadn't done the sensible thing and killed the fuckers, he had been shooting low, aiming at feet and lower legs. Stupid, impractical suicidal Bat training. Jason seriously wondered how Bruce would feel about one of his favored children getting killed for following the rules. When shooting to kill would have been the only option for survival. A part of him was morbidly curious; he wanted to see Bruce struggle with that.

But not at the expense of Dick's life, obviously.

He rushed back into the moment, his gun was almost out  of ammo and he had to focus on the now, not on his damn Bruce Issues. Dick was still wearing his nightvision-underwear goggles, so Jason used two precious bullets to shoot out the lights, leaving them in darkness. The sound of groaning and screaming from the downed men became suddenly oppressive – even though they deserved to die, the sounds of suffering was always horrific to hear. He wondered how Dick felt having caused most of it. Sometimes death seemed cleaner.

Jason jumped as he felt Ruiz grab his sleeve. “Now I can't see!” she growled, there was no heat in it though, and Jason figured she could see the practical side of the darkness.

“Hold my belt,” he told her, as he pulled what remained of his goggles down over his eye. Then he stepped forward, picking his way around the fallen men, Ruiz following close enough behind him that she trod on his heals a few times.

They reached Dick, still in his swivel chair without catching a stray bullet, which was Jason's main concern. Even through Jason's shitty night vision goggles Dick looked a state, he was sweating and bloody, and breathing a bit unsteadily. He had the nerve to grin at up at Jason when they approached.

“Hey, Jay,” he said.

“Don't 'hey Jay' me, you asshole!” Jason bit out, letting all his fear flow out in a beautiful river of rage, “I thought you were fucking dead, you piece of shit!”

“Sorry, I couldn't get the comms back online, I could only use the walkie-talkie I took off one of the men.”

So it had been Dick telling them the situation was contained, clever but still infuriating. He opened his mouth to give him what for when Ruiz jabbed the muzzle of her empty gun into his back. “Can we do this later?” She asked, incredulous frustration coloring her voice.

“I'm so glad, you're alright,” Dick told her, warmly, “I was really worried.”

“Worried? Do not give me your 'worried', Grayson!” Her grip on Jason's belt had tightened to the point of being uncomfortable and her gun was still digging into his back with her increasing frustration.

“I'm fine,” Dick told her, apparently picking up on the source of her anger.

“You are not! And what was that? Do you think you are an action movie hero?”

“My leg gave out, I didn't have much of a choice!”

“The leg you got shot in! Why did you come back, you fool!”

Jason surprised himself by laughing. “As much as I am enjoying Dick getting a tongue lashing, you had a point when you suggested we do this another time and get the hell out of dodge.”

Ruiz made an aggravated noise but fell silent.

“Which way?” Jason asked.

“We should take the east corridor, it’s longer but we just took out the group that was supposed to be covering it, so it might be safer.”

Jason grabbed the back of the swivel chair, ready to push. “You know which direction east is? I'm so turned around I can't tell my ass from my elbow.”

“Head to the left,” Dick said, “I memorized the passageways, so I think I know where we are.”

“You think?”

“Yeah, I think. I've been shot and tortured and I'm running a fever! I can't be completely sure!”

Ruiz made another aggravated noise, “My three year old has better concentration that you two!” She said, conveniently forgetting her own angry tirade minutes earlier.  “Lets move.”

“Why is everyone picking on me?” Dick complained, “I've been shot, you should be nice to me.”

Jason ignored his attempt to lighten the mood, more concerned at the slight slur to Dick's words, so instead of answering he just grunted and started to push the chair. It made a lot of a noise on the concrete floor, but it was better than carrying Dick. Jason could feel his own body flagging. Too little sleep, too little food, too much action and too much adrenaline.

And the fear was still there. They had a long way to go before they found safety.

  Despite the shitty odds, they made it back to the surface, but they stepped clear of the bunker with a mixed sense of relief and apprehension. The chair would no longer be of use to them, and Dick was not in good shape, walking was going to be a struggle. What's more, they could hear sounds of pursuit picking up behind them. Three wounded people plus a slightly battered swivel chair made pretty obvious tracks, and it would be very clear where they had entered the jungle.

Without being asked, Ruiz grabbed Dick's other arm and together she and Jason hauled him off his seat. He leaned his head against Jason's shoulder for a moment, before forcing himself up and putting as much weight as he could on his leg.  He nodded and they started moving as fast as they could.

It was not very fast.

There was no way they were going make it anywhere close to the rendezvous point, that was immediately obvious. For a start, following the path was their only option, as hauling Dick through the undergrowth was not going to work. That meant that the bad guys would also have a nice clear trail to follow and could easily lay an ambush up ahead.

“Okay, Stop,” Dick said, breaking into Jason's own thoughts. “This isn't going to work.”

“Not much choice, Grayson” Ruiz growled, trying to tug him forward.

“There is. Hear me out,” Dick said, as Jason opened his mouth to speak. “We go on like this they'll catch us. We can’t reach help, and we can’t fight them. We have to be smart if we want to live.”

“I'm not going to like this am I?” Jason asked, already resigned. What ever it was, he was going to have to listen, as he was all out of other options.

“Probably not,” Dick agreed, “but it's the only possible way I can see for us to all make it.”

“Okay, hit me with your cunning plan, Dickie. I'm braced for impact.”

“You're going to have to leave me-”

Jason was expecting that. “Nope, not happening.”

“Yes, happening! I'm not asking you to leave me to die, I'm asking you to hide me and draw them away.”

When put like that, Jason could see a glimmer of sense. “Go on.”

“Lets find a spot with good cover, and I’ll hide. They’ll follow you, as you will be leaving tracks whether you want to or not. But with out me holding you back you can move faster, you can get off the path and outrun them. Then when you meet up with whoever has bought our contract, you can come back for me.”

“If anyone has bought our contract and if it’s not someone who will kill us on sight!” Jason said. But when it came down to it, Dick was right; this was the only option where they could all come out alive. And it was one he would have insisted on if he were in Dick's position.

He didn't have to like it though.

“You can’t be serious!” Ruiz burst out, suddenly, “You come back for me, a stranger, but then abandon your friend? I won't do it!”

“I don't think I can make it alone if we’re ambushed” Jason said reluctantly. He could move faster, sure, but if they were attacked having Ruiz and her extra few bullets might be essential. Leaving her with Dick served no useful purpose. “This is the best way. I don't like it any more than you do, but I know Dick, he can do this.”

Dick nodded, his bruised face looking so earnest it made Jason slightly queasy. But under that expression there was Nightwing’s steely determination.

Dick reached out and touched Ruiz on the arm, forcing her attention away from Jason.  “I can. I can look after my self. But I won’t need to – I didn’t see any signs they had hounds for tracking sent and we are too close to their base for them to think we would hide. They are going to chase you, I guarantee it.”

“If you die, Grayson, I am going to dig up your corpse and feed it to my dog!” Ruiz told him finally.

“I will do my best, Officer Ruiz, never wanted to end up as a dogs dinner.” Dick was grinning again, now he was getting his own way. But he looked like shit and Jason was honestly more concerned about leaving him to die of infection than the gang finding him.

“Lets get you hidden then,” Jason said, and using the last of his strength he picked Dick up in his arms again. Dick squawked in surprise but didn’t fight. Either because he was in too much pain, or was conserving his own strength, or because one set of tracks would be less noticeable.

When he found a good spot Jason lowered him as gently as he could. He was feeling pretty winded which did not bode well for the run through the jungle he was about to embark on.

As he pulled back Dick grabbed his hand. “Thank you for saving me, Jay. And thank you for helping save Ruiz too.”

Jason squeezed his fingers, and then withdrew his hand to start poking though his pack – a good excuse to order his thoughts that were a little tangled. “Yeah, well you started it, with shooting me into the river,” he said at last.

He handed Dick one of his water bottles and a couple of energy bars. “I don’t know how long it will take, so be sparing with the water.”

“Yes mother.”

“I’m serious, Dick.”

“I know.”

Jason also gave him the Wayne Tech tablet. Hopefully they could use the Merc’s gear to track the tablet back to this spot – that should save some time – and Jason was too exhausted to be completely sure he would remember the way back after more running and fighting.

Finally he handed over his secondary weapon. “There’s only a couple of bullets left in this one, don’t waste them.”

Dick looked at it doubtfully, but he nodded. “Take care, Jay. Stay safe.”

“You too.”

It was fucking hard to walk away, but he did, and he didn’t look back.
