Turbulance. (Part one to my new series, The Peregrine)

Alright! Here is the first fanfic of The Peregrine series! I hope you all enjoy it. 

Quick warning: Expect loads of angst. Don’t worry though... Things will get better in the next parts.

“Father!” Emma’s voice echoed through the alley way as rain soaked through the fabric of her clothes.

“Dad…” Tears threatened to rush out. However there was no way she was going to show that gang her pain. The sight of her terribly beaten and lifeless father brought waves of rage.

Without hesitation, she ran towards one of the mobs and threw her fist at his nose, knocking him out cold. No one was going to mess with Emma or her family without facing her wrath. Especially not the only family she had left. The once noisy laughing gang became silent as she knocked the man out cold. Emma turned to beat another one of the men; but, before she could two bullets ripped through her left shoulder and in her right calf . Then, before she knew it, a pipe met the back of her head with much force, causing Emma to fall onto the filthy ground and black out.

When Emma regained a little bit of her consciousness back, she saw a man draped in black and a boy around her age dressed in red green and yellow. They made defeating the mob look easy. As the boy tied up the offenders, the vigilante dressed in black came to check on her father. Feeling that there was no pulse, he turned toward you. Thought his cowl covered most of his face, she already knew what he was thinking, forcing the tears to roll down he face. When sirens became audible, the man picked you up.

“Tch~” she hissed as the pain from the bullets started tearing through her nervous system. Suddenly, Emma realized that she was swinging through the skyscrapers, taking her mind off of the bullet wounds.”Where are you taking me?” Emma asked the mysterious vigilante in black. “Somewhere safe.” He answered in a deep rough voice. After what seemed like five minutes of swinging, her feet finally met the ground again.

Two other vigilantes met Emma and the guys that saved her at a very fancy black car.

“Who’s the girl?” The man wearing what looked like a motorcycle helmet asked.

“Just watch over her for now.” The boy with the green mask ordered. The man with the blue bird on his chest walked towards her.

“Who are you?…” You asked, holding your bloody shoulder. You recognized him from some news articles but never payed attention to the names. Or, maybe, she just couldn't think straight due to the loss of blood. "I'm Nightwing and this weirdo right here is Red Hood" As he started to introduce himself and the man in the red helmet, Emma collapsed hard on the ground. Red Hood then rushed to your side to pick you up.

"Well shit. We need to send this child to the hospital.” Red Hood carried her into the car and buckled her up as Nightwing left a note telling Batman that they’re sending Emma to the hospital.

The next morning Emma woke up in a cold hospital room with a sore leg and stitched up shoulder. At first, her initial response was to look around the room for her father. He used to always sit by her side whenever she would have hospital visits. He should of been sitting on those chairs against the wall. However, now he wasn’t nor would he ever again. He was gone now. Resting in peace with her mom, who died 7 years ago.

Tears began to flood her eyes as she sat on the hospital bed alone. Where could Emma run to now? It felt as if she was falling down a never ending dark pit of sadness and there was no one to catch her. Emma tried her best to stop crying, constantly failing and wiping the tears from her face.

“Mam?...” A nurse came into her hospital room. “You have a visitor.”

As she turned around, Mr. Wayne walked into the hospital room. There was a small moment of silence as he walked into the room. She got to your feet as he offered to shake her hand.

“Hello. You must be Emma.”

She nodded quietly answering his question.

“You must be Mr. Wayne. I’ve heard a lot about you.” Emma said as you try to give an ‘ I’m okay ‘ impression.

“Please. Just call me Bruce.” The man insisted.

The millionaire then decided to cut to the chase. “I understand you are going through some really tough times…”

She sighed shakily trying to hold back the tears. Bruce nodded understanding what you were going through.

“If you want I can be your legal guardian. You’ll have a place to stay and have your tuition for school paid for.”

“You really don’t have to do this…” She hesitated to take the offer.

“I insist. I have a son your age. Maybe you two will get along.”

She then accepted his offer. “Thank you so much.”

The next morning, Emma began to pack her belongings into a couple of boxes. She packed a few family photos and her books into one box and her clothes in another. For one last time, she walked into her parents room. It seemed colder than usual. There, she took some sentimental items and walked out. As she walked out, Emma fell to her knees sobbing. At that moment, the air felt heavy and the apartment she was raised in felt dark.

“Emma?” Bruce walked towards her and knelt besides her.

“I’ll be fine.” She stood up, wiping the tears from her eyes. “I just miss them alot.”

Though she didn’t say much, He knew what she were going through.

The two then made their way to a fancy black car. There, next to the car, stood a butler. He seemed old but his presence was welcoming.

“Emma, this is Alfred Pennyworth.” Emma nodded as Alfred offered her a hand to shake. “Nice to meet you Emma.” She forced a smile and shook his hand back. Alfred and Bruce helped her load her things into the fancy car.

“Thank you guys.” Emma nodded. She then was guided into the car.

“Have you met my son Damian yet?” Bruce asked as he buckled up.

She recognized the name. He was known to be the smartest and perfect student. Although, his personality was a bit off setting.

“I think I’ve met him once before.” Emma replied.

“Don’t be intimidated by Master Damian’s attitude.” Alfred suggested. “His mother raised him with high expectations.”

As Emma looked out the dark tinted windows, she took in a deep breath. Even though she in a car with two people, things felt super lonely. She missed her parents so much. First Emma’s mother. Now her father. Her father was your best friend. He was there for her every single step of the way. Maybe, God just thought Emma needed more trials, because losing her mother to cancer wasn’t enough. As she watched the buildings move past, her deep brown eyes started to water with tears. She wiped her eyes to get rid of the tears; but, that was useless. Emma’s tears kept rolling down her sharp cheekbones like she was the earth and her tears were about to make a waterfall out of her cheeks. Bruce soon noticed and handed Emma a handkerchief. She took the handkerchief and exhaled shakily with tears rushing down her cheeks, falling onto the black leather seats. Emma nodded to thank him.

After an hour or so of driving from Emma’s old house, Alfred pulled up to the front driveway. On the front porch stood a man who seemed to be in his twenties or something like that.

“Another kid?” The man joked acting surprised. He then offered her a hand. “I’m Dick.”

When he introduced himself, Emma couldn’t help but to let out a small chuckle. Dick chuckled with her. “Anyways… you must be Emma.”

Emma nodded as she stepped out of the car. From the corner of her eye she could see Damian looking down from a window, petting a cat. Damian was just an acquaintance. Nothing more than that. The two had a class together. AP literature. Emma’s father used to teach that class. Well… atleast when he was still alive.

Dick, Bruce, and Alfred helped take Emma’s boxes and luggages into the mansion, leading her through a hall that lead to her room. As they went to her new room, a tall great dane came racing towards them, barking at her.  

“Down, Titus!” Damian ordered as the big grey dog was about to jump on top of her. Titus halted immediately. Emma grinned at the dog. She liked animals a lot. Titus wagged his tail and panted. Though he was super tall, he still acted like a puppy. Emma reached out her hand letting Titus sniff it a little bit. Then she pet between his ears and grinned a bit. Damian looked at Titus then at her.

“What brings you here, Jensen?” He asked Emma, raising an eyebrow.

“Your father thought it would be best.” She looked at Damian, still petting his dog.

Damian continued to stare at Emma, crossing his arms. Dick came out of her room after putting down a box.

“Take it easy on Emma.” Dick smiled at her and nudged Damian’s shoulder. Damian sighed and walked away gesturing his dog to follow him. “He may seem cold at first: but, he’ll warm up… eventually.” Dick assured Emma. “Do you need any more help unpacking?”

Emma shook her head. “I think I’ve got it.”

She then walked to her room. It felt way bigger than her old room. Not to mention, it had its own bathroom. The sunlight lingered in her bedroom as she sat down on the comfy queen sized bed. Emma then started to unpack the boxes and luggages. She didn’t really pack much; so unpacking didn’t take a ton of time.

After unpacking, Emma walked down the stairs to explore her new house. There was so much for her to explore. As she walked into the living room, she saw a man a few years older than her. He sat on the couch, scrolling through his computer. He seemed to be very focussed on what he was doing. He seemed familiar; but, she only knew him from quick glances in the academy halls. The book shelves against the wall, were filled with books. Books  that she had read in the past and books that she had yet to read. The window on another wall took up most of the wall.  As Emma walked towards the window, The man glanced from his computer to her then shut his laptop. “You must be the new girl.” He put his laptop down and stood up with a tired smile. “Hi. I’m Tim Drake.” Emma nodded. “I’m Emma. Nice to meet you Tim.”

When she finished exploring the manor, Emma took a step outside on the pouch. The air was chilly outside. She didn’t mind though. Emma could see the city from her porch. The skyscrapers seemed microscopic. She had never seen the city like this before. As the sun began to hide behind the horizon, she noticed a shadow behind her. When she turned around, she saw her new guardian, Bruce. He sighed looking at the setting sun. “How are you feeling?”

Emma gulped a cry back and took in a deep breath. “I’ll be okay…”

Section 9 image descriptions

Page descriptions for all pages in section 9 with flashing images! Trigger guide for this section is [link: here].

2760: Rose: Look at that kiosk.

The kiosk screen reads SN_HUBGRID and has a set of coordinates. It shows a map of all the hubs with numbers designating each square. The whole screen flickers, and one single hub flickers green. There is a command input at the bottom of the screen, and the last input command says >unlock SN_LAB0413.

Narration: Looks like a mapping of each hub’s index.

It appears one of the hubs was recently unlocked.

2763: ==>

Jaspers disappears on the transportalizer in a flash of green. Rose grimaces.

Narration: Great, you just vaporized your dead cat. Oh well. Ashes to ashes you guess.

There's got to be a better way to deal with this lousy tree.

2771: [S] Dave: Abscond.

Cal continues to flail on Dave, puppeteered by Bro. Cal’s face alternately flashes, taking up the entire screen. The word >ABSCOND flashes in pink. If selected, Dave rolls from under Cal and tries to run off the screen, but the option is sliced in half and Dave must retreat to the left of the screen as Bro’s silhouette appears with the words “CAN’T ABSCOND, BRO!” The music starts, Bro appears out of silhouette, and the words “ROUND 2” appear.

Bro points at Dave, then gives a thumbs-down. Dave holds up a smuppet head and draws an imaginary line in yellow across his neck. Cal’s face flashes, and then the word “STRIFE!” appears as the brothers’ swords clash.

There’s a bunch of fuckin swordfighting idk what to tell you here. Bro occasionally kicks Dave into the air or down to the ground in between the fuckin sweet swordplay. They both flashstep a lot. Eventually Bro’s silhouette fades in and Bro appears and grabs Dave by the neck, throws him, bounces him off his elbow far to the right and up into the air, and kicks him with Cal when he lands, all the way into the hallway leading down from the roof.

Repeating sequence: Dave falls down the stairs and Hella Jeff appears with the text “I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS BRO!!!!” The direction then reverses and Hella Jeff again appears, saying “I TOLD YOU DOG!"

2779: [S] Rose: Ascend.

The flash starts with a shaking image of imps in John’s messy living room. The navigation, if clicked, goes up a floor, then zooms out to the alchemiter, then to the left by the tree, then into John’s room, then up to the roof, then, finally, up to where the action is.

John is smashing his pogo hammer from side to side between the ogres, in a green background that becomes filled with Slimers. John spins up into the air, smashing the ogre on the right; the ogre on the left aims with the tire swing, but is interrupted by a damaging blue beam of light, which after a pan to the left is revealed to be from Nannasprite’s eyes.

Panning upward, Rose’s cursor drops a fridge on the right ogre, but the ogre catches it and hits John with it. John goes flying but is caught in a glowing blue oven supplied by Nanna’s eyebeams. She throws it up in the air and John bursts out, spinning again, and deals a massive hit in a burst of green to the leftmost ogre, then bouncing back into the air.

Nannasprite drops various ghostly house appliances on the rightmost ogre, and then Rose raises the alchemiter into the air, turns it upside down, and John spins up onto it and hits it, bouncing off again with a massive BOING. He spins down and hits the right ogre, which flashes white and bursts into grist.

John turns toward the left ogre, but it is assaulted by a beam with cookies in it, which—a pan left—is coming from Nanna’s ghostly oven. John spin attacks the ogre for a few moments, then Rose drops the alchemiter on it and it, too bursts into grist. Victory music plays and John does his cute little victory dance.

2781: John: Climb that echeladder.

John holds both his fists in the air, wearing a little blue hat with a green feather in it. The rung “BOY-SKYLARK” flashes on his echeladder.

Narration: You rocket up the ECHELADDER to the dizzying heights of the vaunted BOY-SKYLARK rung!!! Your new feather is hard earned and well deserved. And alarmingly fashionable.

2788: ==>

Dad brandishes a fist, pipe still in his mouth. The background flashes various shades of purple.

[Panel 2] An imp in a magician’s hat frowns in dread of the punch.

2790: ==>

A black carapacian in an especially fancy, brightly-colored jester’s outfit watches on a giant pair of electric window frames/screens as Dad menaces various imps.

The same carapacian turns to a different screen which shows a still image of John doing his victory dance by the alchemiter which has just killed the last ogre.

2798: PM: Type => VIEW

The bottom right screen shows Jade holding a gun, surrounded by snow. Green light flashes all around her, and the screen blinks white.

Narration: You type another one of the previously entered commands. It switches to the view of a young girl standing alone somewhere. There is a heavy amount of video interference of some sort.

The girl seems familiar to you.

2800: Don't I know you?

The green light flashes more agitatedly, with what looks like electricity flashing over the image. Jade looks directly at the screen with a o: face, possibly shaking her head.

PM steps back as the entire console flashes with electricity and shakes.

2801: ==>

PM and her hat flash yellow, and so does the background.

2812: Jade: Scamper into grand foyer with wild abandon.

Jade scampers into the room and into one of the many visible globes (the kind with the Earth on it) and falls back on her butt. The words “LASS SCAMPER!” flash on the top of the screen in grey. There are a couple of suits of armor in the room, one of which was actually drawn by Hussie.

Narration: You scamper your heart out and bump into something. You don't know why he always insists on keeping it so dark in here.

Oh look, it was one of his dumb GLOBES. These things make it awfully difficult to navigate the foyer. We get it, granddad. You like to travel around the world going on adventures and stuff!

Lousy goddamn stupid globes.

2815: ==>

The fireplace lights up and Jade’s grandpa’s silhouette appears in front of the fire to give her a good spook. Jade recoils back behind the globe on the left, holding her rifle up out of the way.

There is a transparent image of the words in comic sans:

“and there he goes

the old man….

HASS the flame”

2818: {S] Strife!!!

Dave’s record symbol turns as a mimicry of a loading screen. Then the words “AW SNAP.”, then “PRELOADER PSYCHEOUT” flash in green. The actual loading screen shows Jade’s picture above the mantelpiece.

Jade wakes up and pulls out her rifle and goes into a fighting stance. The screen says “STRIFE?” in green, and Jade’s grandpa lights up, revealing he is actually a mounted taxidermied corpse. The >AGGRIEVE option shows. If clicked you can use the keyboard to do all sorts of adorable and silly things with Jade and her gun. Too many to describe, but rest assured, photosensitive readers, it is super cute.

2819: ==>

Jade squints determinedly up at her grandfather in the flickering light of the fire.

Jade’s grandfather continues being a corpse. He is also lit by the fire.

Narration (in italics): YES i am going out with this gun!!! no i will not go get a bigger one!!! no i will not take yours! I can't even lift it!!!!!! oh that is so preposterous. do you even hear what youre saying? i will be fine! this is a perfectly deadly gun and it shoots lots of incredibly deadly bullets! oh will you just stop it. i am going now. Goodbye!!!!!!!!!!!!

(in red italics): <3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2831: Rose: Cause time paradox.

The image of Rose giving therapy to her cat Jaspers, in the middle of a red reticle, turns to a blue screen that says PARADOXIFY.

Narration: You attempt to appearify Jaspers. This would surely cause a time paradox, because you can plainly see that he has not told you his SECRET yet.

But it seems the machine has a safety mechanism to prevent such irresponsible appearification practices.

2833: ==> 

The machine beside the appearifier sucks up the paradox sludge that has just been appearified, holding it in a transparent holding cell below a screen.

[Panel 2] Some lights flicker on the machine beside the appearifier, and the screen shows a bunch of flickering letters, all CGAT. Mysteriously, a CG and A do not flicker at all, but that’s not plot important as far as I can tell. Also, the kitten has rolled adorably onto her back.

Narration: The machine beside it sucks up the paradox sludge and begins some kind of automated procedure.

It seems whatever sort of primordial biochemical properties the sludge possesses is being evaluated by the device.

2835: Rose: Have a flashback.

Little Rose covers her face in both hands. A tiny red exclamation mark flashes above her face. Jaspers appears to be whispering in her ear.

Narration: There is no need for a flashback. Conveniently, you can watch what happened right here on the monitor.

You roll the clock forward a few seconds. Jaspers reveals his stunning SECRET to you in strict confidence.

2837: Rose: Trace Jaspers' whereabouts on the machine.

The screen turns to static.

[Panel 2] The screen’s red reticle, a few days later, focuses on Jaspers, dead, in a dirty suit, on a riverbank.

Narration: You roll the clock forward to a week after he vanished. It seems there is no accessible feed tracing his whereabouts during that timeframe.

You fast forward another week. There he is, just as you found him.

2838: [S] Rose: Fast forward to now.

A cat face silhouette is the loading screen, fading from black to ectosludge green. Little Rose, looking sad, approaches Jaspers in the reticle dead on the riverbank. The mutated cat fetus floats in the jar, lit by green light; Rose watches the video, also lit by green light. The little mutated kitten’s tail twitches, then we zoom in on its face, which blinks two eyes at a time. We see the angelic bust of a cat, which fades into the funeral. Rose and her mom are wearing black on a rainy day, with Jaspers’s coffin covered in flowers. The red reticle is focused on the coffin.

We see the coffin inside the mausoleum, and the flowers slowly wilting and dying and disintegrating to nothing. The mutated kitten chews on the scarf.

We see a flashback of Rose’s actions in the mausoleum, then the kitten kicking the scarf with its hind feet. The video then follows Rose as she descends into the laboratory, then finally focuses on Jaspers on top of a transportalizer.

2840: Rose: Appearify Jaspers immediately.

Jaspers appears on the transportalizer. Rose has scooped the mutant kitten back up and is holding it in one arm. She is also wearing the pink scarf.

[Panel 2] The Skaianet Laboratory sign, reading UNESTABLISHED IN: has a countdown going from 14 to 10 seconds.

Narration: Good thing you finally got all this sorted out. You only have 10 seconds to spare.

Time to stash the dead cat and amscray.

2841: Rose: Stop fooling around and transportalize out of there!

Rose runs down the grid toward the transportalizer, holding the mutated kitten with the scarf trailing behind her. She disappears in a green flash, and the words “PRETTY DECENT ESCAPALIZATION” flash in pink.

2843: ==>

Jade faces the front of the screen. Behind her, in the hills, lightning flashes, and then the silhouette of a dog appears, turning most of the background into various shades of green emanating from (or pointing toward) him.

2848: [S] John: Examine your dad’s room.

John looks up in front of a portrait of Bing Crosby smoking a pipe. We see two hats on a hat rack, then a line of neat black shoes next to the hole the safe made. The words “KIND OF A BORING ROOM” flash in grey. John sweatdrops and looks somewhat distressed with a background of dress shoes passing behind him. There is a briefcase on the bed with some papers inside.

The words “JUST A BUSINESS MAN” flash. Pictures of John fade through the foreground, one of him holding the papers and one of him looking distressed. We see a large picture of a pipe on the wall, then “NOT ALL THAT INTO CLOWNS I GUESS” flashes.

John holds his head and flashes in inverse colors a couple times, as pipes dance in the background. The top of the screen reads “MOST SHOCKING TWIST YET”. We pan down a picture of Harry Anderson on the wall and a framed picture of John on the dresser, with some cards. We zoom in on that picture of Bing Crosby smoking a pipe with the words “WHO’S THIS DOUCHE BAG”.

Various pictures of John in shock flash, then the wall picture of a pipe, ties, iron on the bed, foot mat with a hat on it, a set of pipes on the wall, Betty Crocker cake mix, a shoe measuring thing, and then portrait of Harry Anderson. It zooms out to John, rocking back and forth on the bed and holding his knees.

2858: ==>

Jack recoils as the screen turns from the minion and the imp to a zoomed-in pair of eyes with a scar through one.

[Panel 2] Jack looks down at the hat as a hand points to it. The hand is wearing a ring with four grey orbs on it, one of which is lit and the others are dull.

Narration: Your transmission is interrupted.

It seems your GLORIOUS MONARCH has concerns over your wardrobe.
