He co-starred as Lieutenant William Storm in Tales of the 77th Bengal Lancers (NBC, 1956–1957), a prime time adventure series set in India. Stevens also provided the voice of John Bracken in season one of Bracken's World (NBC, 1968–1970).

Comedies The Donna Reed Show (2 episodes, 1965 and 1966), M*A*S*H (1 episode, Season 4, episode 13, "The Gun", Dec 2, 1975)

In his later years, Stevens' appearances were infrequent. He guest-starred in ER in March 2006 and had two roles in 2007. (Wikipedia)

*Upon her new discovery of feeling bad about things she’s done, Peyton decides to see what she can do about that, one little step at a time.*

*She starts her “Don’t Call It An Apology Tour” tour with a text to Lee, hoping they can move past their little argument.*

Hey, whatcha doing? Got any time today to meet me at the mall food court? Lemonade slushees, my treat? -💅🏼

@sinner-peyton

Lee was gradually returning to his regular espionage work after a Valentine's Day tour in New York with Adina. However, something was different this time. He didn't even noticed how, instead of collecting compromising materials on enemies or seeking information for obsessive stalkers, he started using his power of disguise to put an end to years of hostility and help the predators' victims find a safe place to stay (and some of them had even chosen Hazbin Hotel as an option!). Not that it was him who had changed.. of course not. It's just all these tasks that seem to have a far more fair effective solution than suggested.

In the end, he only earned twelve bucks and a used condom in his face. And just when he was about to start questioning what could have possibly gone wrong today, a text from Peyton appeared on his phone screen.

Writeblr Intro

Hello! I'm Leo! This is my re-introduction for this profile. I've returned to writeblr after a good long while and I have a long list of WIPs. All my WIPs are very old and currently undergoing a revamp so a lot of them no longer have much written for them unfortunately. Mostly because almost all of them were started over a decade ago and I'm no longer in my late teens/ early twenties anymore. I've changed and so my stories/ characters have changed. I'm always open to being asked anything or being tagged in anything. Sometimes I do take time to answer but I do always try to answer in some way.

My pronouns are she/her and I am currently 29 years old. I mostly write various forms of fantasy. But I also do scifi and won't turn my nose up at trying a bunch of others. I also draw or doodle when I feel like it.

Some of my current main WIPs:

Anomalous

Vladmire had founded Haven's Nook under the idea of creating a place for other Supernatural folks to build a community. A home of their own, even. It was a place to raise their own families without fear of being chased or lynched.

And, centuries later, that's exactly what it has become. Between the local werewolf pack and witch coven, there is no safer place for the supernatural. There was little capable of threatening their peace.

That is until Vlad's family finally finds him. His parents and siblings have decided to visit Haven's Nook. Their excuse? His long term lover, Aerin, has finally proposed.

Now Vlad must ensure his family does not destroy his home and life's work while planning his own nuptials.

Main Characters:

Vladmire Skoll (Vampire; Founder of Haven's Nook)

Prince Aerin (Fae Prince)

Side Characters:

Arthur and Damien McClellan (The Vampire twins)

Craig Ethan (Alpha Werewolf)

Aaron Stevens (Craig's 2nd in Command)

Tabitha and Sean Schmidt (Werewolf Couple)

Russell Kwiatkowski (Tabitha's Human Nephew)

‘One Tree Hill’ Sequel Series Led By Sophia Bush & Hilarie Burton In Works At Netflix

The long-rumored One Tree Hill sequel series is closer to becoming a reality at Netflix.

Original stars Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton are set to executive produce and reprise their roles of Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer, respectively, in the sequel series from writer/executive producer Becky Hartman Edwards and Warner Bros. TV, which is currently in development at the streamer, sources reveal to Deadline. Jensen Ackles and Danneel Ackles also executive produce through their Chaos Machine banner with the latter in talks to return as Rachel Scott. Emily Moss Wilson is a producer.

Created by Mark Schwahn, One Tree Hill premiered in 2003 and ran for 9 seasons on The WB network and its successor the CW. The sequel is said to take place 20 years later following best friends Brooke and Peyton who are now parents to teens and facing challenges not unfamiliar to what they tackled in the original series like love, insecurities and grief, we understand.

The coming-of-age drama also starred Chad Michael Murray, James Lafferty, Bethany Joy Galeotti, Austin Nichols, Antwon Tanner and Paul Johansson, among others. Deadline hears there have been conversations with other members of the ensemble cast, however, Bush and Burton are the only ones set thus far. Murray, who played Lucas Scott across 6 seasons and returned as a guest star in Season 9, has no plans to return for the follow-up, we understand.

Deadline has been tracking the project for a while, and it went public this morning in Production Weekly as it has been going through deal-making and development. Reps for Netflix and WBTV declined to comment on this story.

Netflix previously revived another signature WBTV series that ran on the WB and CW, Gilmore Girls, where Murray was a breakout before landing a lead on One Tree Hill.

Set in a fictional North Carolina town, One Tree Hill begins as a story about two half-brothers, Lucas (Murray) and Nathan (Lafferty), with a strained relationship forced to navigate high school together whose social circles eventually intersect. As the show progressed, the story opened to follow all of the friendships, romance, heartbreak and familial tensions in Tree Hill, through the lens of the teens. Brooke Davis, Peyton Sawyer and Haley James Scott (Galeotti) often anchored the storyline.

[haggishlyhagging]

When I was growing up, most of the families that served as my models were not "happy." Many of them were minature Peyton Places with trauma and tragedy permanent residents. Neither I nor they ever considered the possibility that some of their pressures may have emanated from the family institution itself. Again, my religious teachings affected my perceptions. Unhappiness was the human condition. Man was not meant to be content on this earth, only expected to persevere through trials so he could die and begin his real life. As doubts about certain of my religious trainings mounted, I became less willing to defer my happiness. I wanted control over my own destiny—to exercise free will, by making my own decisions and accepting the responsibility for my choices. But not until recently have I questioned the style of family life itself. Before I was content with the myopic determination that my family, though existing in similar form to everyone else's, would be different—not for me the mistakes of my models. Now I am open to the possibility that for me, at this time, the nuclear family may be exacting too high a price for too little return.

I am not capable of filling every physical, emotional, and intellectual need of even one developing human being, let alone five. Once I thought I was and lived as some superhuman dynamo trying to do so, berating myself with guilt and frustration when I failed. I am fairly relaxed—other mothers speak of my "calmness" and "serenity"—yet I scream at my children inside closed doors, only pride preventing a public display. I overdose them with television. I confuse them with the contradictions in myself—loving and tolerant one day, am impatient and demanding the next, depending upon my frustrations and physical feelings of the moment.

I oppress my kids so I can survive. No one else sees their scars but I know them well. There isn't a five year old in the world that I can't best with sarcasm. I have done vicious things deliberately because we are all trapped by our way of living. So much for my serenity. And I am stable. The kid with neurotic parents has had it. In our culture, it's a one chance shot for children. You are what your parents can allow you to be.

Almost everyone harbors resentments and hurts from their own parents. Most everyone sometimes resents and hurts their own children and carries great guilt and worry from doing so. The isolated nuclear family can put such intolerable burdens on individuals that it is almost impossible to escape this.

We have evolved such a confining, confined unit that we must adjust to it, not it to us. The time that we should be using to fill the needs of the family members is too often consumed by the pressures of merely maintaining the institution.

the long game. ( mac taylor x reader )

gif belongs to me

The name left his lips as if he had said it a million times. He had, but not with the sentiment preceding it. The first time it happened, Peyton had brushed it off, joking that she was not his 'work wife'. Mac had spent the rest of the night and several days thereafter restless, mulling over the meaning behind his slip-up.

The second time it happened, Peyton was walking away after Mac let go of her hand when you and Stella were entering the morgue, and he could see the hurt in her eyes as she revealed her findings. The worst part? You were unaware of the turmoil within the couple and flashed Peyton a smile as you praised her for her work.

Stella, however, wasn't so oblivious and glanced at Mac over her shoulder as she left with you.

"Peyton..."

"I have a lot of work to do here." She said in dismissal.

"I'm sorry." Mac walked out of the morgue and saw you walking with Stella, typing on your cell phone. Seeing how preoccupied you were, Stella moved you out of the way before you could walk into a door that was opening.

"You really need to take a technical class or something." Stella shook her head with a smile.

"Why would you put someone through such horrendous torture?"

"It won't be that bad."

"Not me. The teacher." You nudged her gently, both laughing as you stepped into the elevator.

The third and last time it happened, the case was over, and he went down to the morgue to speak to Peyton. When she explained how hurt she felt, he reached for her and closed his eyes when your name left his lips.

"I'm sorry." Mac walked out of the morgue and headed back to the lab. Stella was leaving her office for the night when they crossed paths.

"Hey, any plans for tonight? That new diner opened a few blocks from here. You could take Peyton for dinner. Or breakfast." She corrected after checking her watch.

"Actually...we broke up."

Her eyes widened, "What? When? Why?"

Mac kept his voice low as he explained the multiple slip-ups where he called her by your name, and Stella listened, nodding with a frown.

"How long have you felt this way about her?"

Mac lightly shrugged his shoulders, a sigh leaving his lips.

"You should tell her."

"What if she doesn't feel the same way? I am the boss. And I don't want to make it awkward and disrupt the team." Mac replied.

"You'll never know if you don't ask." She reasoned, placing a hand on his arm before heading to the elevator.

Mac sighed as she left, walking away to his office. He packed his briefcase, and twenty minutes later, he was leaving the lab when he saw you looking around your office, tidying up your desk in the hopes of finding something.

Mac observed for a moment before deciding he had nothing to lose. He knocked on your door, lingering in the doorway as you met his gaze. A smile formed on your lips that almost made him forget why he was here.

"Hey, Mac! Heading out?"

He cleared his throat, nodding. "Uh, yeah. Did you lose something?"

"My glasses." You paused when his lips twitched in amusement. "What?"

Mac pointed to his head, and you reached up, finding your glasses on top of your head. You closed your eyes, blushing in embarrassment as you placed your glasses in your handbag.

"Do you want to grab breakfast?" He asked. "There's a new diner open on fifth."

You nodded, "I'd love to." A smile formed on your lips as you picked up your briefcase and placed your handbag over your shoulder, following him to the elevator.

In the early hours of the morning, you went to the diner on fifth, and Mac brought up the case over breakfast in an attempt to return to common ground, both relieved it was over. He didn't want to ask too many questions about your personal life. But you broke down the wall between boss and subordinate with ease, flashing him a smile and asking, "So what does the great Mac Taylor do when he isn't solving cases?"

Mac quickly grew comfortable, relaxing so much he even undid the buttons of his blazer - as most relaxed you'd ever seen him. A sight you decided you would like to see more often as he held the door open for you on the way home, a smile on his lips.

It became a regular occurrence after cases. You and Mac would celebrate with breakfast or dinner depending on when you left the lab after finishing paperwork, sometimes ordering takeout while working side by side as you worked to complete the reports. You always respected his rank out in the field, but in the lab when you were alone, you both let down your guard.

Weeks had gone by but Mac was still uncertain about entering a relationship with you, his only concern being the team if things didn't work out. Yet he couldn't imagine why, because you were a brilliantly beautiful CSI and he had fallen in love with you without even realizing it. So he decided to play the long game, taking the time to let the lines blur on their own, learning more about you, and spending more time with you outside of working hours in the hopes that it would lead to a long successful relationship.

After a shootout downtown, you took three shots to the vest and Mac forgot all of his hesitations as he walked by where you were being checked over by a paramedic, checking you over for injuries as he headed towards a detective.

"What in God's name were you thinking?"

You looked at him in surprise, as did many others who turned towards the scene as Mac confronted the detective for putting two of his CSIs in harm's way.

You knew Mac was protective of his team, but the look in his eyes told you it was more than that. After sending you and Danny to the lab, he stayed with the others to sweep the scene for evidence.

Mac didn't return until several hours later and you looked at the door when he knocked. "Are you okay?"

You nodded, "The vest took all of it. Some bruising, but hey, I did get shot." You shrugged off, attempting to lighten the mood with a smile.

Mac sighed as he entered your office, closing the door, and you saw how weary he looked.

"Are you okay?"

"You got shot, and you're worried about me?"

"I always worry about you." You placed your pen down and took off your glasses as you turned your chair to give him your full attention.

His gaze fell to the floor as he swallowed his nerves and met your gaze when he summoned the strength to admit, "I always worry about you."

You walked towards him and placed your hands on his biceps, "I'm fine. I can't deny I'm a little more motivated than usual." You squeezed his arms gently, "But I'm fine. Promise."

Mac nodded slowly, covering your left hand with his right hand. "When I got the call, all I could think was - I don't think I could survive it. Losing you."

Your eyes became teary from his confession and you kissed his cheek, wrapping your arms around him.

"I'm not going anywhere." You whispered.

Mac held you closer as you rested your head on his shoulder. When you pulled away moments later he noticed your gaze flicker to his lips briefly before quickly meeting his gaze. It was all Mac needed as he placed a hand on your cheek and kissed you tenderly.

Your eyelashes fluttered as you closed your eyes, leaning into him as you cupped his neck. You pulled away and his hands held your waist as you both took a moment to catch your breath.

"I have a confession to make." You whispered.

Mac held his breath until you continued.

"I've wanted to do that for a while."

He exhaled, a smile forming on his lips as he said, "Yeah? Me too."

You left the lab earlier that night, deciding to take the paperwork to Mac's apartment, picking up takeout on the way. And as he looked at your head resting on his shoulder as you both read the files on your laps, your suit pants and blouse were forgotten on the bedroom floor, wearing one of his shirts while he wore striped pajama pants and plain white t-shirt, Mac did not know how he survived playing the long game, but being here, living this moment with you, it was all worth it.

Fankid Mini-Week Day 4: Pokemon

Some fankids with non-traditional starters.

Colleen (Laserblade!kid) and Magnemite - Colleen met Magnemite after it had snuck into the Lumiose Gym and was siphoning out energy from one of the main generators.  While it wasn’t enough to cause any major problems,  Clemont still took notice and chased Magnemite away, only for it to return a few days later.  This continued and eventually it became a game of sorts for Colleen to head it off once she started to notice signs Magnemite had come back.  She would offer it batteries or small electrical devices she had made, and after it was discovered Magnemite would leave on it’s own after a set period of time, Clemont stopped trying to run it off.  With time, Magnemite started to show up more and more to play with Colleen than to siphon electricity, and one day just never left.  It became a permanent part of the family and followed Colleen when she set out on her journey.     

Peyton (Loverival!kid) and Skitty - Peyton didn’t so much receive Skitty as the two grew up together.  Around the time Peyton was three, Wally’s Delcatty had an egg with Brendan’s Manectric, and the resulting child became one of Peyton’s primary playmates.  When Peyton left to start his own journey, it only made sense to take his long-time friend with him, as the two had been pretty much inseparable growing up.

Clover (Isshu!kid) and Pidove - N and Hilbert end up running a Pokemon sanctuary of sorts, and as such, Clover ends up helping take care of some of  the more friendly and ‘easily-managed’ Pokemon.  One such Pokemon she develops an especially close bond with is a Pidove that lost one of his wings to poachers.  Even once he is well enough to leave, he sticks around so he can remain with Clover.  When Clover leaves on her journey, Pidove accompanies her, as he doesn’t wish to remain behind without her.  At this point, he’s been fitted with a prosthetic wing that allows him to fly to some degree, but he is largely unable to battle as most attacks will knock it out of place.

Ruby Thirston Pt9

It’s been only a few minutes since Ruby was told she was going home and she was honestly surprised,but also very happy. She has been away from home for almost a month now, Ruby missed her family.Zipping her suitcase closed she did a quick check around the room to make sure she wasn’t missing anything. Then she heard a light knock.

Opening the door, Jay is waiting on the other side, he’s still in his uniform but minus the weapons and straps. Without a word he lifted his phone towards her gaze and it read,”Your needed for our meeting.” Ruby blinked at the screen and looked up at Jay with obvious confusion as she questioned him.

”Me? What do I need to come for? I don’t know what to say.”

Jay slowly pulled his phone back and typed out a quick response.”I think it’s possible you came in contact with someone very dangerous. We need you to see if we are going after the right guy.” Ruby fidgeted with her necklace before nodding her head.

*They helped me out so much and Jay saved my life. I could at least help them out somehow.*

Following Jay down stairs Ruby could see everyone else settled into the living room and on the Tv a blue wavelength moved as a man’s voice came out.Choosing to sit at the end of the couch Ruby nervously crossed her legs and placed her hands in her lap,Jay stayed standing behind the couch, but he stood behind her seat.

???:”Is she in here now,Burns?” Samual:”Yes sir.” ???:Ruby Thirston. Have you seen this man?” Ruby sat up alittle straighter even though whoever was asking for her couldn’t see her.Suddenly a photo appeared on the screen of a man with slick brown hair with a scar on his chin. Her hands gripped her pants before quietly answering.”I have. That man spoke to me at the gala. He was asking for my father.” Frustrated with the fact she helped someone terrible left a bad taste in her mouth.

???:”Just as I expected. That man has been running the trafficking industry for years now. They call him Erebus and-“

Ruby didn’t hear the rest as her mouth ran dry. She heard that name before in her history class once. In Greek religion Erebus was known as the personification of darkness. This man was death and chaos himself…and she pointed him right to her father.

*What did I do!!*

Jay pov

The rest of the call was brief and they where currently planning on their approach to taking down Erebus. The mission was still the same Protect the Thirston, Samual squad saves the people in the trafficking ring and Jay kills Erebus and all his allies. Pulling his mask off Jay put it in his pocket while Samual gave out orders.

Samual:”Erebus been running the traffic ring for nearly a decade now and he always escape capture thanks to his ties with the black market.Right now it’s our chance to end this cycle for good. Yuko your in charge of medical to the rescued, Cameron and Jasmine assist her and watch our backs from a distance. Peyton, Casey,Alex you’ll be with me,will handle infiltration, if they are not a victim shoot on sight it’ll give Jay more freedom to go after Erebus. But before we do all that we must protect Ruby until she is safely returned home. Another squad will be sent to her home while we complete our mission. Am I clear.

Everyone nodded and said yes sir, nobody was new to this and everyone was ready to fulfill their duties. Jay felt the plan was pretty solid but he still had a bit of anxiety about Ruby tagging along with them. Waving his hand to catch the captain’s attention he signs..

’We can’t take one truck.They want Ruby. We need to put their attention away from her.’

Peyton:”What do you mean?”

Walking around the couch he pointed to Ruby then proceed to point at Jasmine,Alex and Yuko.

‘Take more cars. Have Ruby take a different one.Have someone pretend to be her and we lead them away. You take Ruby home.’

Samual looked to be in thought and suddenly asked for all the girls to stand and line up beside each other. Crossing his arms he looked back at Jay and nodded his head.

Samual:”Alright I can see how this can work. Now let’s just plan out which routes everyone will take. Will set out early tomorrow morning, everyone get some rest.”

Next day

With the sound of the engine and the early morning air blowing through his hair Jay kept his eyes on the truck in front of him. To not draw suspicion he hung back a few feet. Zigzagging through traffic he heard a few cars blowing their horns at him but he didn’t care. Hearing his earpiece coming on he hears Casey on the other end

Casey:”Watch your six,Jay”

Looking over his shoulder he noticed a white van with overly tented windows and surrounding it where black trucks which all had iron bumpers on the front of them. Tapping the arms around his waist twice to let them know he was about to speed up. Jay took a sharp turn to the next street and cranked up the speed,leading their pursuers to a whole different route. Squinting past the wind, Jay checked over his shoulder to see them slowly gaining on him, so he purposely slowed down and pulled out his gun. Holding it behind his back he felt it being taken out his hand. The white van pulled up to his right side and the doors flew open to reveal a large masked man who pulled his squad mate off his bike, but as soon as they speed up the car swerved and gunshots went off in the back.

???:”THIS ISNT-“ *BANG!*

Driving to the front van Jay took out his own gun and fired 3 shots to kill the driver. Putting the gun back in the holster he whips his bike around to avoid the out of control and hits the breaks as it goes flying down the street. Speeding up he reaches a hand out to catch his squadmate and with a running start she jumps out the back and Jay catches her around the waist and pulls her back onto the bike. Moving the visor up on the helmet,Alex let out a celebratory shout and reloaded her gun.

Alex:”One down six more to go! Let’s take these b*tches out!”

Nodding his head Jay picked up his gun and turned his bike around to face the remaining trucks.Tapping Alex arm once, she nodded her head while Jay jumped off the bike while Alex took control. Running beside her the two split up to take down the rest.

Ruby pov

“Are they ok? That’s a lot of gunshots.”

Yuko:”Their fine Ruby. Those two are very …um…capable when paired up together.”

Cameron:”Or you mean bat sh*t crazy. Well for Alex anyway.”

Ruby hugged Mochi while she readjusted the hood over her head, she was listening to their comms system and couldn’t help but notice the pure chaos over the speakers which was a mixture of Alex cursing, crashing vehicles and gunfire. She tried to keep her mind off it and think about finally going home but she also had concerns about their upcoming mission. The man they are after is very dangerous and is a leader of the trafficking world. In Ruby’s eyes for someone to be ok with taking people, selling them and abusing them just made her feel like they must be pure evil. But the people around her are going to face off against him with no hesitation, even Jay who was a year older than her was going to fight.

Cameron:”What’s happening out there,red?” Alex:”We are headed back to you guys. We found one of the guys burner phones and they have people watching the Thirstons house.” Yuko:”D*mn.If we take Ruby home now we are risking her and her families safety”.” Peyton:”Sh*t,how the hell Erebus has this many allies to just have them scattered around like this?” Jasmine:”If that’s true then why were they following Jay and Alex? Wouldn’t been better to wait until we left her alone?” Casey”Yeah, but it looks like they see Jay as a threat now.If he’s out the picture they can easily take Ruby.” Samual:”That isn’t worth the risk.Everyone return back to the Cabin.I’ll update the commander.” Everyone:”Yes sir!”

Ruby stayed silent at the news, she knew it wasnt wise to go home just yet if she was being targeted still. She didn’t want to bring her family in harms way again.

At the Cabin

Jay was stared blankly at the ceiling, he was already prepared for their mission and was waiting for his squadmates to finishing gearing up downstairs. He was planning on taking a quick nap before they left but sleep was evading him as usual. Jay was worried that Erebus would somehow slip away from him and continue his inhumane act and not just because he wants Ruby, but for all the people he had either killed or destroyed their lives.

Ruby:”Hi.”

Jay lifted is head to see Ruby standing in the doorway, he was surprised Mochi wasn’t with her since the feline seemed to be clinged to her. Sitting up he waved her in and she climbed on the bed and sat beside him. It was some unspoken routine they created. If Ruby wanted to vent she’ll come to his room and he’ll listen. Sometimes she’ll talk about her parents, her siblings, plans or worries about the future. Other times she either had a nightmare and wanted him close by or she wanted him to go walking with her in the woods around the cabin. Whatever she needed him to do he was going to do it. Brushing a few strains of hair behind her ears she asks,”Where’s your notebook?The one you write in when we talk.”

Jay turned and leaned over to get his backpack off the front, he rummaged around in it before taking out the small notebook. Taking out the pencil tucked inside he wrote

‘Do you need it?’

Ruby:”No, I just want to talk with you before you leave.”

‘Ok, what do you want to talk about?’

Ruby smiled and stared at him with unreadable eyes and Jay tilted his head, she wasn’t a blushing mess like usual but instead she was more relaxed. But Jay was still trying to understand why she was staring at him so long. He was starting feel uncomfortable. Pushing his bangs back from his eyes he let them flop down which obscured his vision, which made him feel slightly better. Hearing soft laughter beside him, Jay looked at Ruby with a confused frown and she tells him.

Ruby:”I just wanted to say thanks again. For what you did.”

*Oh, she’s talking about the gala.*

Feeling more comfortable now that he understands her Jay quickly writes

‘You don’t have to thank me for that. I told you I was going to jump after you no matter what.’

Ruby:”No not that. I mean yeah I’m thankful you saved me then but…”

Now she was blushing and once again Jay was lost. Ruby pressed her hands over her crimson face before mumbling something into them. Peeking through the cracks in her fingers she looked at him and mumbled.

Ruby:“I’m saying thank you for other stuff….You sat with me when I cried. When I couldn’t sleep you kept me company. When I was feeling lonely or sad….you would show up…and…and I didn’t feel that way anymore…Your a really good friend Jay.”

*Friend?*

Ruby hid her face again. Jay didn’t know she saw him that way, he was just fulfilling his duties. But he was curious to know if it was possible for him to be friends with Ruby. Was this how people make friends outside of base?Writing down his thoughts he tapped her shoulder and showed Ruby the page

‘Can I be your friend? Will that be ok??’

Ruby brought her hands down to read his words and a huge smile spreaded across her face. Nodding her head she giggled and said…

Ruby:”Of course! I’ll love to have you as my friend!”

Returning a soft smile of his own, Ruby looked ready to ask something else until someone else came to his door.

Cameron:”We’re heading out now. You ready Jay?”

And just like that the smile faded away from his face.Nodding his head Jay stood up and picked up his bag to put his notebook away before slinging it over his shoulder.Ruby stood up and followed after him and Cameron and when they got downstairs he saw everyone geared up and ready to go, but Peyton who was now tasked to watch over Ruby.The squad pilled into the truck while Samual adjusted his earpiece and with a firm yet steady voice he tells Ruby and Peyton.

Samual:”Will be back in a few hours. Once we finish this mission then you can return home without any trouble. We have motion set up all all around the cabin in case we have been followed which will give you and Peyton time to leave. But this cabin’s location is unknown to outsiders so you’ll be fine.”

Peyton:”Be careful guys. Kick their @sses for me.”

Ruby:”Ok, good luck with your mission! Stay safe please!”

As the captain climbed into the truck they pulled out the driveway and out the woods as the two waved at them as they disappeared.

At the docks

Slowly swimming under the walkway, Jay listened to the armed men above as their heavy boots clunked against the wood. As of now Jay was their first faze of the plan and had to cut the power of the cruise ship. Taking a deep breath Jay submerged himself underwater and with a bit off power he pushed off against one of the metal pillars for a boost and swiftly swam into the pitch black water. Once he got deep enough he summoned his power which aided him in the water’s darkness and not draw attention to the gunmen on land. Squinting he saw the bottom of the cruise and with a few more kicks he felt his plams against the steel. Closing his eyes he sensed the electricity through the material and after a few seconds of concentration he felt his power connect. His lightning glowed around him as his plams grew brighter and just like that he cut off the power.

Swimming to the surface he let his head breach the water to show sparks floating around his head and in a flash his squad mates and captain came out of hiding. After a few suprised shots, grunts, and heavy bodies falling down,Jay pulled himself up to the dock and grabbed the outstretched hands off Casey and Cameron. Taking a few cautions steps back lightning circled him and steam surrounded him as he dried himself off. Jasmine threw him his bag and in a burst of speed he was geared up. With a nod Jay pressed checked his gun and slipped it back into the holster. He was ready.

Samual:”Ok everyone we know the drill. Save the victims and shoot the bastards who allied themselves with Erebus. Do not let that b*tch walk out of here alive.”

HISTORY {TW: Mentions of Abuse, PTSD, and Alcoholism}

jane morgan, named after her paternal grandmother, was the eldest daughter to daniel and amber morgan. she had only known stability for the first six years of her life, until her father was honorably discharged from active duty and returned back to the states to work as a contractor. due to her father's position in the US army, jane spent the majority of her life as the new girl. they never stayed in one location for long, often moving every other year or so, whenever her father's contract was up.

by the time she entered her fifth school in five years, jane realized there was no use in getting close to anyone that wasn't your family. it was pointless. after all, she was just going to leave again, and any friends she made would soon forget her. but it wouldn't hurt any less. when she moved to a new state in the middle of sixth grade, she told them all she was from another country. seventh grade, she told them she was actually madonna's long lost daughter. eight? she was a witch. and so on and so forth. the lies were easy, and fun, and kept anyone from truly knowing her. high school was when she stopped going by jane, and started going by dusk. how would they ever know you if they didn't even know your name?

the only person dusk was truly close to, was her younger sister abigail, or abby as she called her. dusk suspects abby was an attempt to save a decaying marriage, and unfortunately for them all, it didn't work. when your father was suffering from an alcohol addiction that was due to severe ptsd, there wasn't much you could do. maybe therapy, if her father believed in it. which he didn't. so when the alcohol made him mean, dusk became the protector that abby needed. the protector her mother couldn't be.

music was the only outlet for dusk. a place to escape, and a way to say what was attempting to claw it's way out of her chest. the drums came naturally, one music teacher called her gifted, but really dusk could just feel the music.

it was the only passion she had. school was uninteresting. high school specifically. full of people who didn't bother to try to get to know dusk once she started wearing all black, or made a comment about their pointless and frivolous interests. she graduated high school with honors, only because she was good at it. she went to community college and got her associates degree in arts, but really... she couldn't find something that interested her long term. aside from the idea of making music full time. it didn't seem possible, so she stowed it away for later.

perhaps it was getting her degree and doing something with her life that inspired her mother to do something about the shit life they were living, but one night she came into dusk's room and told her to pack a bag with whatever she couldn't leave behind. suddenly the morgan woman where packing up five bags into the car in the middle of the night and escaping the man dusk once called her father.

coolsville was where they ended. a town no one had heard of, certainly not her father. dusk knows she should probably figure out what to do with her life, but always the protector, can't seem to part with her mother or her sister. so she works two jobs, a bartender at night and during the day at a music store a few towns over, and gives whatever she can to her mother. she doesn't really have friends in coolsville. after years of pushing people away, how the fuck do you start to let them in? she did however, find a band in need of a drummer. so perhaps she can practice making friends on her bandmates.

TLDR: because of her father's job in the army, she moved around frequently and never really allowed herself to set roots anywhere, or get close to anyone. her sister being the only one she's deeply close to. as a result of his ptsd, dusk's father became an abusive alcoholic, often taking his frustrations out on his family. dusk, her mother and sister ran away in the middle of the night and settled in coolsville. dusk still lives with her mom to help with the bills and works two jobs in the process. her little sister was friends with the missing girl and dusk was one of the last people to see her alive. her guilt is what is driving her to solve the mystery and help the scooby gang.

CHARACTER TRAITS

positive: protective, creative negative: short tempered, rebellious

HEADCANONS

dusk was one of the last people to see charlotte alive. she was driving to work one night and passed by charlotte alone on the road. instead of stopping to see if she needed something, dusk kept going. turns out the girl was announced as missing shortly thereafter. she's been keeping that guilt deep inside of her for days and it's the main reason she's joined the scooby gang

dusk was taught by her father how to shoot a gun from a very young age. she's a great shot, even if she doesn't like the feeling of holding such a deadly weapon in her hands. but because of her impeccable aim, she's been holding the top spot at space invaders in every arcade of every town she's lived in.

dusk isn't sure what she wants out of life, or who she wants to be. she says it's because she doesn't care, but the truth is, she's been lying about who she is for so long, she's not even sure she know's herself anymore. music is the only constant, but she's so grounded in reality that she knows tryign to make any money out of that is unrealistic. and with her mom constantly struggling to help make ends meet, dusk needs to do whatever she can to keep a steady paycheck.

dusk has never had a real relationship. plenty of hook ups and casual flings that last a week or two. but due to how often she moved around when she was younger, and her inability to let people get close to her, she refused to make that sort of deep connection with someone.

CONNECTIONS

the missing girl. charlotte blackwood. {+/-}. dusk didn't know charlotte much outside of being her sister's friend. and honestly, she wasn't sure how the two even became friends. they were from different worlds. dusk was one of the last people to see charlotte alive. she was on her way to work and passed by the girl. recognized her easily, but didn't think much of her being alone. now she wished she would have stopped, offered her a ride... something. maybe she would still be here.

the little sister. abigail morgan. {+}. not to be dramatic, but abigail is dusk's whole world. she had always been reserved and distant to the other kids around her growing up, fearful of getting to close when she eventually left. but she never had to worry about that with abby, and she put every ounce of love she had into her little sister. in fact, abby is the only reason dusk is still sticking around town.

the beauty. beatrice bracknell. {+/-}. dusk and bea don't really know much about each other, except that they go to the same church. when dusk's mom moved to coolsville, she found god in the church that bea's father is the pastor of. so the two often cross paths in the girls bathroom when they need a break during the weekly sermon. recently, dusk has started offering bea a cigarette behind the building, but that's the extend of any relationship between the town.

the brains. darcy warren. {+}. there's something about darcy and drew dusk to her. she was smart and seemed to have her life together, but she clearly needed a bit of help when it came to standing up for herself. dusk, never one to stand by and let someone get ran over, has no problem sticking up for darcy until she learns to do it for herself.

the catalyst. nathaniel blackwood. {+/-}. they met at the bar dusk works at. she's served him a few drinks and one slow night they got to talking. talking led to flirting which eventually led to a handful of hook ups in his car once her shift ended. thing is, she doesn't even know his name. it was just supposed to be quick and fun. turns out he's the older brother of charlotte, and dusk can barely build the courage to look him in the eyes.

the heir. victoria wright. {}.

the leader. scott bishop. {+/-}. scott is exactly the kind of guy that dusk hated in school. mr. perfect. has the world wrapped around his finger and just has to shoot someone a perfect smile and they'll do whatever he says. of course, there's more to him, but she hasn't taken the time to move past her own judgement in order to see who he really is. instead, she's keeps to her assumptions, not giving scott the time of day to break them.

the loner. rosette espinoza. {+}. rosie is probably the first best friend dusk has ever had. the two met when rosie's band advertised their need for a drummer and dusk immediately called to audition. they got along quickly, and for the first time in her life, dusk didn't try to pull back when she began to like someone. if dusk isn't home or working, she's probably with rosie.

the peacekeeper. anthony griggs. {}.

Mt. Komorebi Trip

Their last day in Mt. Komorebi was greeted with a gentle rain over the city. Though the weather was less than ideal, Cassidy, Gil, and Peyton were determined to make the most of it and immerse themselves in the culture before heading home.

First on their agenda was visiting a famous shrine nestled in the valley. Armed with umbrellas and raincoats, they navigated the cobblestone paths, the sound of raindrops blending with the soft hum of nature around them. Gil, with his trusty camera in hand, stopped frequently to snap photos of the intricate shrine architecture.

As they crossed a wooden bridge over a serene stream, Gil suddenly yelped and swatted at his arm.

“Something bit me!” he exclaimed, shaking his arm as the bug fell off.

Cassidy chuckled. “It’s just a bug, Gil. You’ll survive.”

“It was huge! Like… mutant huge!” he insisted, inspecting the bite. Thankfully, it was harmless, and they all had a good laugh at his expense as they continued on their way.

Their walk through the valley eventually led them to a grand temple. The rain had eased into a light drizzle by then, making it easier to explore the sacred space.

They marveled at the sights, and even participated in the local tradition of making wishes silently hope for good fortune.

Peyton captured the moment, ensuring they had plenty of memories to look back on.

As the sun set, they made their way to a cozy lounge on the other side of town. Cassidy and Gil enjoyed a quiet drink and admired the view of the city lights through the large glass windows, while Peyton wandered around and stumbled upon another Yamachan statue.

“I swear, this place is Yamachan central,” she laughed, positioning herself for yet another selfie.

As she adjusted her phone, a group of teens around her age approached. They seemed curious but friendly, and soon they struck up a conversation.

Despite some language barriers, Peyton was eager to practice her Komorebigo, drawing from lessons she’d taken online. When things got tricky, they pulled out a translation app to keep the conversation flowing.

The teens turned out to be really cool, sharing stories about life in Mt. Komorebi and asking Peyton questions about Del Sol Valley. Laughter bridged the language gap as they compared favorite movies, music, and hobbies.

“Peyton!” Cassidy called from across the street. “We need to start packing soon, remember?”

Peyton sighed but smiled, knowing the trip was almost at its end. She hugged her new friends and promised to follow them on social media before rejoining her mom and Gil.

As they headed back to the rental for one final night of packing and rest, Peyton couldn’t help but feel grateful for the trip. It had been full of adventure, new experiences, and memories that would last a lifetime. Mt. Komorebi had left its mark on all of them, and as they prepared to return to Del Sol Valley, they knew this was a journey they’d never forget.

[universalfanfic]

I just wanted to write a bit of an interesting part...

Amateur history enthusiast Peyton gets sent back in time to Ancient Rome where she's taken into the household of a centurion, Alexandrius Luthorus.

Peyton believed she was being careful. Her knowledge of historical events wasn’t something she took for granted, and it wasn’t a responsibility she carried lightly. History as she knew it literally depended on her not messing everything up or interfering in any way until she could find a way back to the future. 

But keeping track of time in the ancient present and in her own present were wildly different beasts. The Romans right now didn’t use the Gregorian calendar she was familiar with, and she had to try and recalculate just when everything was to try and keep tabs. 

It was a small risk to keep a little journal for herself. A timeline, of sorts. 

She wasn’t foolish with it. Peyton knew allowing dates and events to live anywhere but her head was a potential leak, but at the moment she didn’t feel like she had much of a choice. She couldn’t possibly keep track of everything mentally. And she was careful.

Anything she added to her notes, she wrote in code. The pages were a mashup of English words, abbreviations, and numbers. It felt safe. Despite sharing essentially an entire alphabet, the words didn't match and she’d never taught Lex any English. 

And besides. It wasn’t like she was even going to let him know the book existed. 

Which was all perfect until she walked into the room he let her stay in and found him sitting at her little desk, looking over the small, leather bound book. 

Peyton froze in place, the hair on the back of her neck stood on end, and it was all she could do to keep her composure. 

“What are you doing in here,” she asked. The words rolled off her tongue easily enough. Her Latin had only exponentially improved during her time in this era. Lex turned the page of her book and gave her a speculative look. 

“I was curious,” he said. “I’ve noticed you with this a few times, but never openly. It made me wonder.” 

“It’s personal,” Peyton defended. 

“It’s already impressive that you can read and write,” he commented as he returned to the book, as if she hadn’t said anything. “I didn’t realize you were into ciphers as well.” 

“It’s not a cipher.” 

“It certainly looks like one.” 

He met her eyes again in challenge this time, and Peyton pressed her lips together. She could salvage this. She had to salvage this. 

“It just my native language,” she partially lied. 

“It looks very Roman.” 

“Doesn’t everything, when you feel like you rule the world?” 

Lex laughed lightly, and Peyton itched to rip the book from his hands; to keep it far away from him. But she couldn’t let him see how important it was to her. How desperate she was to keep him from it. It’d only make him want it more. She forced the tension from her shoulders in a bid to seem casual. She hoped it hadn’t been obvious already. 

“Alright,” he said, like he was permitting her statement to stand. “What have you written then?” 

She didn’t have to fake the scoff that passed her lips. 

“They’re my personal thoughts, I’m not sharing them with you.” 

“Like I said, it looks very Roman. I may not know all your words, but you use our letters. The other peoples we’ve conquered never have.” He tapped the book with two fingers and raised his brows in question. “You write ‘JC’ often in your personal thoughts. Tell me, is that a name?” 

The question nearly destroyed her entire act, it hit so close to home. He only could have had her book a matter of minutes and already he’d zeroed in on that? Peyton quirked a brow and twisted her lips in a mockery of a smile. Like his suggestion amused her instead of terrified her. 

“I’m sure you’d like for it to be one,” she said. “We may have a similar alphabet, but that doesn’t mean the structure of our languages works the same way.” 

He watched her then looked back at the page he was currently on. 

“J-C, M-A-R,” he said. “And these lines clearly aren’t a letter. More like a designation for a middle.” 

Oh, heaven help her. He’d found her notes on the Ides of March. Of all her notes, why did he have to focus on that one?

Nicest Kids In Town

Chapter 3~

"Now Seaweed, you know I can't do all that in these heels," Saucy fluffed her afro in the back. "They are way too short, not enough...what's the word?" She looked over to him as they walked around the outside of their school. Of course the dance was being held in the gym, meaning they had to walk all the way around to get to the back door.

Seaweed turned to his sister and rose an eyebrow skeptically, "What about that time momma bought you those little baby heels and you-" Before he could finish the bell rung loudly, alerting all of the kids that the dance competition had begun. They all began running, and slightly jogging for the girls, towards the gym door, instantly starting off their dance.

To others looking in, it might look it had all been rehearsed, but Saucy knew that not one time in any of their lives had they sat in a room together to discuss how they were going to show off for the Corny Collins.

"Hey little girl, with the cash to burn."

Link Larkin sung on stage looking down amongst the divided groups of teenagers doing different variations of the same dance. "I'm sellin' somethin' you won't return. Hey little girl take me off the shelf."

All of the colored kids rotate around each other doing intricate moves, but have the look of pure joy on their faces. Link's singing was drowned out by the movement of their feet, it seemed complicated yet it was only three simple steps, done in different styles.

One would assume that Saucy's eyes were on the wall to focus on her dance moves, but that one would be wrong. Her eyes were trained on the One, the Only, Corny Collins. She had only briefly passed him by in the studio, which was mainly because she had to run to their "dressing rooms" which really was the Black Janitor's locker room. Well at least the have a room right? Incorrect, it was the size of a bathroom and across the studio lot. Nonetheless, she did take time to examine the man's facial features and she was not disappointed.

A flash of white and black hair shifted around the crowd, drawing the eldest two Stubbs' attention, "Seaweed! Wanna do Peyton Place for Corn?" She asked while twisting her hips left and right, just as the two in front of her. Saucy and Seaweed looked at each other and then back at her with a sad expression, "Are you crazy? You gotta dance your dance-" Saucy spun in a clean circle, "And we gotta dance ours." Tracy scoffed but her feet continued to move, "Why?" Saucy leaned over the rail to pat her shoulder, "That's just the way it is Tracy." Tracy couldn't fathom any of this, "But it's your dance!" She said as her head turnt to Seaweed. He smiled at the care she showed for him, " Well, how about you go borrow it for a second?" She smiled just as the Cheshire Cat, "Really?!"" Saucy was ready to break out, she felt the fire under her feet and smiled at Tracy, "Go get it girl!" Tracy quickly embraced Seaweed and Saucy blew her a kiss, just as she turnt around Amber Vontussle was right there, glaring with those cold eyes. Saucy never did like her and was sure Amber shared the same sentiment. As the floor cleared, Tracy moved her hips with the beat, perfectly reflecting the moves that Seaweed had done earlier.

Corny's face shifted in slight confusion as the sea of teenagers parted and a chubby girl white big hair made her way to the center. As much as Saucy wanted to pay attention to her new friend, she couldn't help but carry her eyes over to Corny, his wonderful blue eyes shined under the gym lights. If she was a crazy woman, she'd go on up there and try to impress him herself. But that was not how this cookie was going to crumble.

The beat of the drums began to increase and Tracy's one woman show was quickly turning into a full party. Inez grabbed her sister and began turning her every which way, laughing as she did so. Link blurted out the most soulful 'Whoa' that he could conjure up, making the domino effect of teens dance and hop and what not.

"Hey little girl on a spendin' spree! I don't come cheap but my kisses come free!" Saucy dipped and rocked as much as her feet would allow her and every so often, a set of blue eyes would come cross her brown ones, smiling as if they were the only two people in the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The three Stubbs children departed quickly from the bus, running towards 'Motor Mouth Records' like a martian on a mission. They burst inside and tripped over one another just to get upstairs.

"Oh I'm so glad my babies are happy to be-" Motor Mouth Maybelle started as her children ran into the home, only to rush to the couch and turn the tv on. "Home...." "Ma! Ma! A girl we know from school is gonna be on the show!" Inez blurted out as Seaweed fumbled with the dial. "Sea! If you can't do it I will, you takin' too long!!" Saucy threw her hands up into the air in exaggerated agony. "I'm tryin'!" He replied with out looking over his shoulder.

"Lou Ann!

Joey!

Mikey!

Vickey!

Becky!

Bix! Jesse!

Darla!

Paulie!

Noreen!, Doreen!

Link~

And I'm Tracey!!!!"

The siblings fell out and jumped up, not containing their excitement in the slightest manner. "And the bass and drums are poundin' in your head!"

"Go Tracy! GO Go Tracy!" The siblings said holding onto each other for dear life.

They were so sure that if they held onto each other,

They could stay in this moment forever.

A/N: Annnnnnd that's Chapter 3 y'all!!!!! ~Chapter 4~
