#and while i cant say that happens at her facility i can say she clearly has a bad perception of it

[giftedpoison]

Trying to have a general conversation about the homeless population with someone who works in a mental health one step program that's sees 20% of people not finishing the program and ending up in the homeless encampment down the road.

I'm just so appalled honestly. By how they talked about it. Saying those 20% choose it. And called the program a crutch. And saying they had 3 months to get their shit together after being inpatient for mental illness where everything was handed to them.

And I'm over here fucking screaming internally. Because there's so much wrong with it and I don't even know where to start.

Like first off the program helping with job search/housing. I doubt it. Because 3 months after being inpatient for God knows how long, is not enough time to find a job. It took me 2 months to find a job after leaving my job where I was deadass in charge of a whole department. AND THE JOB I GOT? A seasonal position for the holidays.

Not to mention even if they miraculously got a job that pays well guaranteed they would not find housing. I made 17$ an hour and no one would lease me a one bedroom apartment. I once was rejected from an apartment when I made 15$ an hour. Because I didn't make $18. The rent was $650 a month.

And she also said the program shuts people out of the program after 3 tries (which is 9 months total but obviously that would be sporadic) and they have to find somewhere else.

Which like they have a limited radius of where they can feasible travel so what the fuck there.

And when I said 3 months seemed short. She was like well they were in patient first before the 3 months so obviously it's short.

NOT obvious bestie babe. That's worse actually. But I was at work when I was texting this person and I also didn't feel qualified to speak on it knowing I knew little about the program and also wasn't that educated on homelessness enough to be considered credible.

She also said she thinks of that memoir Glass Castle that we had to read junior year of high school. And how the authors parents chose to be homeless so clearly people just choose it for no reason. (Which I don't remember much about it but Im pretty sure at least one of the parents were struggling with some sort of addiction)

And I made sure to be clear that is 100% a minority situation and that there's almost always differing factors involved. And she was like yeah it's just so insane and the program can't figure out why it's happening and that's what they are looking into.

meanwhile I'm screaming because I'm not even college educated and I can see the glaring issue like a bright ass LED light. But whatever.

LATE LIES

Part 2

Steve Rogers x reader

Summary:you have recently decoved that your finance captain america is cheating on you. But there again you could be wrong. But what will happen when your not wrong ?. And your not the only one who has cort on to steve shaddy activitys .

AN : my grammar and spelling isn't the best so bare that in mind .

@nomadevans82

Breakfast was quickly over. No word . No affection. Shown by the man who was ment to love you, the man you are ment to marry , the man you suspect is cheating on you. But maybe your wrong , maybe your brain is just over thinking. This is captain america we are speaking about, man who said your his world , his love , he wouldnt do anything to hurt you , especially in such a way . Would he ?

He wouldnt or so you thought/knew.

'God why cant I think straight ' you mind was racing around and around , question after question , excuse after excuse for him .

Maybe your just overreacting, I mean my spy training doesn't mean I have to be right every time . Nobody else has notice his behalf? Right .but you have and you know him better then anyone . Or so you should. But your not the only one whose notice a change . Nat did , she look like she was about to skin him alive with her butter knife at the breakfast.

You mind racing , your fist rapidly punching the bag , never stop . The training room had blurred form your vision along with everyone in it . You can feel you blood boiling , tight knots in your stomach as you think about steve with sharon . Your temper going just above busting point . You didnt notice you went breathing. You didnt notice your eyes glowing, you didnt notice the punching bag flying off , with a swerling yellow sting glow around it . You just stare at it , forgetting all the people . Nobody would notice anyway , it's not unusual for this to happen , but what is , is the power running through your veins . The very thing , nobody knows, the thing you hide , the thing you run away from , thing you dont want people to know about you , hell you dont even know what it is exactly. You spend all you time hiding it . The minority of the time you cant feel it running though , you normally have hold over it . But when your emotions get to extreme (more like things you dont experience often ) such as a need to cry, or your anger , anxiety. It slips out and your cant control it. And it doesn't help you are feeling all these right now.

You final brought back form your blurred vision with a hand on your shoulder. If it was anyone else you'd push them off , but not this person. Youd no them any way . Ever since it first comforted you when you just a child, in place no child should be , in a situation no child should be , expecting things no child should ever .

You slowing turn your face toward him . Bucky .or james as you knew him as a child . Hes your comfort , the closest thing you got to w father in the red room . This you keep a secret form everyone else , no one apart from nat knows that you were in the red room with her and as she was training and falling in love with james . He acted as a father to , never letting you get near the same amount punishment as the other girls. So when you found he was still alive , when you found he was becoming sane minded again you couldn't be happy. You weirdly felt safe the world again . After you were told just after he managed for you to escape that the red room had killed him .

You have alot of secrets such as people dont know about the fact that the red room trained you , Bucky trained you , or the fact that you two have a father and daughter relationship . Nobody knows not even Steve, to everyone else sheild trained you, you were a good field agent and was giving the opportunity to become an averager under the request of Nat .But at least two people know them nat and buck , they raised you basically, they know you , they know your history. But theres one secret that nat doesn't even know, only james . And that's about your mutation. James found out about it the same time you did .

You were 11 years old , training with james in a dark cold room . The constenced shouting in russian and girls crying was getting to your head missing punishing and kicks , you head was fuzzy, everything was become to quick , to fast . You couldn't handle it , although you go thought it every day . You final get a burst of energy and it shoots thought your veins and bones , the bright yellow light swerling around, pushing James into the wall . He knew what it was , he had heard of mutation before and what happens when the red room find a girl who has one , they either dont last very long or are put into different facilities. He protected you , help you hide it . Still does today .

So when you turned around , you saw the panic on his face, he knew what had happend , he was the only person in the room that saw as always. And he knew something was wrong because you knew let it get the better of . He automatically pulled you into a hug hiding your face from the rest of the world in his chest . It would be so easy to cry , so easy. If you wernt so anger you were shacking .

"Your okay " "your safe " "I got you " " you can calm down " he constantly whispers until you did as you were told and calmed down . You glance up till you met his glaze . His eyes was swerling with fear and empathy for you . "Now you gonna tell me what's got you all worked up ?"he asked pulling the hair out of your face . You just shake you head negatively, he nodded in return , knowing you was going to answer him anytime soon .

"I might have an idea " nats voice stalled you . 'Did she see ?' You become anxious again you dont want anyone to know about you mutions .

"You've go quite the rage and strength, and rightfully to " at this you know she must think you just punched the bag down .

"What do you mean ? What happend ? Do u know what's wrong? NAT tell me ! " buck quietly shouted concerned, pulling away form you , facing nat with his armes crossed .

"Calm down papa wolf , I dont think nows the time , let's calm her down and get a drink in her first , I know she needs it " she glanced at you sympathetically, she knows about sharon and Steve.

"What ! Nat Its 11am the mo...." bucky was cut off by the annocument above.

"Party tonight people. Main floor see you there tonight. Peace out , Iron man ! " Tony said though the speakers .

"Great !" You said walking out of the training room , towards your room , knowing you'll stay there u till the party.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Hours had passed and you haven't seen anyone all day , steve didnt come to check up on you like he normal did , you asked friday what he was doing every hour and your were denied access.

You and Nat hadn't spoke about what was playing on your mind , you just spent your day with a few early drinks and tv . It got to the time where it was time to get ready .you sat in that's room with a dress she picked out for you lying on her bed . You sat at the mirror finishing your simple make up nothing to extreme hust enough to add to your natural beauty.

You heard the bathroom door open , you turned to see that Nat was almost ready

"Come on kid , I know parties ain't really our thing but at least they'll be vodka "she joked .

"Thank god " you rolled your eyes and got up picking up your dress and heading towards the bathroom. You were just about to close the door when Nat sighed

"Y/n you .... I..... do you see what i see " she ask clearly neverous .

"About ?" You tried to act clueless but you knew what she was about to say

"About steve "

"..... " you stay silent for a while " can we not.. not right now .. we both could be wronge his the man I'm marrying, the man I love .... i dont want to think about it .... I... we might be wronge "

She scoffed at the thought but she nodded her head . And in you went into the bathroom to finish getting ready .

When you emerged out of the bathroom in your dark blue silk dress that hugged and was lose in all the right placed . With your hair curled and pinned half up and half down .

"Oh my .... you look gorgeous " Nat said with wide eyes . You felt it too as much as you ddint want to go to this party you felt great in this dress almost forgetting everything

"You look stunning as always " Nat just shrugged it off and grab your hand while heading our her door .

When you got into the hallway you and nat both stopped in your tracks.

"There you are ... iv been looking for you ... Tony and his parties eh " Steve laugh making you laugh too . This man put you into a trance everytime you saw him , he was in a dark blue shirt similar to your dress (not on purpose) . He looked as good as ever , you sighed with the biggest smile thinking this man is going to be your for ever soon . But then the voice started to creep back into your head ,instantly your small dropped to a frown

Steve took a step closer to you and kissed you on the check you let out a breath that you didnt know you was holding all day ,

'See everything normal we were just over reacting '

He smiled down at you "you look good " he said but he didnt even look at you the way be usual would , he didnt say what he usal would , it would be more then just good ...

"Good ? She looks stunning " Nat blurted out , you could tell she was staring at him like he was the target .

He just wrapped an arm losly around you , not tight like he normal would, he once said it was to keep you by his side and let everyone know your his . But not now . You felt so stuiped being in his arms .

"Let's go shall we "

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

You had been at the party for not that long Steve was by your side laughing and joking with everyone around the group . Nat , Bucky and Tony all laughing and joking

Everyone would feel fine if it wasnt for Steve's eyes keep wondering off

You sighed , chucking down your drunk , thinking your the only one that noticed but you forget that you were next to the best assassins you have ever know .

"Hi everyone "

"Oh hi sharon " Tony said

Your eyes snapped to her stunned , everyone eyes fell on her as you all stood at the bar in a circle she had managed to get her way inbetween Tony and steve

" you look stunning " steve said looking her up and down with a smirk , your heart dropped

"You get good and she gets stunning!"

"Thank you " sharon whisper trying not to star at steve but failing as there both keep sharing glances at each other, as a blush creeped on her check .

The music was the only thing filling the silence for a while as Tony sipped on his drink clueless . With steve and Sharom basically eye fucking each other while unknowly to you two very very anger killing mansions were ready to be Roger's down . You just stood there tears threating to make an appearance.

"I'm... I'm just going to pop to the.. " you couldn't finish your sentence already making your way down the hall .

Nobody looked at you are asked if you were okay .

You made your way blindly down corridors in all different directions you didnt know where you ended up, all you knew was you were far way you didnt hear the music and you were safe alone . You let out a quiet sob that lead to a few tears escaping your tear duck as you fought them off . Ignoring the stinging feeling with the tight chest and pit in your stomach .

Some one pulled you into there arms you you could see was a few red strains of hair

"Sshhhhh "

"I dont know why I'm like this.... I might be wronge " you choked out

Nat just gave you a look like 'when are we ever wronge "

"Come lets go back " was all she said you nodded .

She rubbed your back as you made your way through the corridors . Before you turned a corner you heard a quiet bang followed by laughter and giggles . You and Nat quietly laught and slowly made your way to the corner.

You stopped dead in your tracks with nat behind you . You were barely visible as you were still hidden around the corner .you quickly took a step back , pushing Nat backwards , she looked confused but you both listen carefully.

All you could hear was short breaths with giggles and growls

"Stop that "you heard a high pitched giggle

"Hell no ! I wanted to get my hands on you all night "

"You would be able to if you didnt have her ..."

"Soon " The deep voice cut her off "soon I'll be all your okay "

Your heart drop you could help the tears roll down your cheek. As you saw and hear Steve with sharon , it hit you hard , it all become reality and you couldn't take it . Nat griped you tightly clearly trying to calm her anger .

There voice went away and nat looked around the corner

"There gone ..I'm going to kill him " she snapped

You sobs became louder and louder your whole body was shaking

"Why ? Why ? Why ? He said he loved me , said I was his world , I'm meant to be his wife soon why ? What did he mean by soon ? Was he going to leave you?

Your body was shaking as nat stepped back , unknowly to you everything around you was shaking to . You vision blur and lost all connection to world around you and your heart was literally tearing into piece making the unwanted power over come you .

"Uh no nooo no " was all you hear and Bucky ran his way towards you

"Calm down it okay " bucky slowly came near you as the shaking stopped. He quickly wrapped you in his arms

"Calm down !"

There was silence that felt like forever Nat with her anger towards Roger's and shocked by you . While Bucky was staying calm for you

"You going to tell me ? " he asked slowly.

You shook your head no

There both sighed

"Fine I will!" Nat snapped

"No .. no please dont" you begged.

"What ? What is it ? "Bucky asked getting impatient

"No .. don't say it...its not real until you say it " you hiccup on everyone word

"Please " you begged one last time

"Just tell me god damn it "

"Roger's is cheating with carter "nat barked over youf sobs

"What !"

[secret-engima]

I'm trying to sleep but I cant bc if this this idea in my idea do here have it and fo eith it as you will; Nyx reborn into the KHR universe.

Pure. Unadulterated. Chaos.

Because if you think this boy is gonna be anything but the world’s most reckless and powerful Inverted Stormy Sun you’ve got another think coming.

Probably becomes like- a message runner/thief. Something high speed and dangerous that isn’t straight up murder-land. Despite this, he quickly gains something of his own famiglia from all the strays he keeps picking up along the way. Famiglia of info-brokers, thieves, and other sneaky mouthy folk. It’s great. He calls them the Kingsglaive out of nostalgia and everyone wears an Ulric braid.

Has 100% mouthed off to Xanxus and gotten away with it.

Misses his warping like crazy. It’s not fair. He gets sparkly fire powers and they AREN’T the ones that can teleport. Boo.

Still he gets to make stuff disintegrate and he has almost limitless energy so hah.

Finds Tsunayoshi when Tsuna is newly sealed and Smol and Sad and just Nopes his way into that situation because this is Wrong and he’s Reckless so here’s to kidnapping Tsuna and his mom and carting them off somewhere private to get those seals off (because in this universe Nana also has a seal on her that makes her so ditzy and air headed since she’s a Latent Sky who would otherwise know better than to touch Iemitsu with a thousand foot pole, but Iemitsu is all the levels of Jerk in this and wanted That Specific Pretty Lady as a mindless trophy wife so...)

Anyway Nyx yoinks the seals off with a combo of stubborn stupidity and stupidly strong Flames and Tsuna and Nana are more than a little confused and grateful. Nyx explains the Mafia thing and Nana goes Active from pure rage over being ... well ... married to the guy who robbed her of almost all intelligence and free will and then tried to do the same thing TO HER SON.

Nyx is more than happy to get them new identities and take them to Mafia Land where even Vongola can’t touch them without setting off a war and helping Nana set up the world’s best cafe on the island to support herself and her son without Iemitsu. He also gets divorce papers via his Network, all without Iemitsu’s knowing (dude really needs to pay more attention to what paperwork he’s signing).

Also Nana (now named Hestia) becomes Nyx’s Sky. And his much needed Momming Figure because he doesn’t have a Lib to Braincell him (yet). Tsuna (now named Regis because Nyx is a Sap) adores his reckless big brother.

Of course, two skies living on Mafia Land is gonna attract ALL the attention (minus Iemitsu who is an Idiot and doesn’t even register the possibility that these two are his wife and child because those are TOTALLY still back in Japan being a nice trophy family TOTALLY). It isn’t long before people are coming to the cafe for both the good food and a chance to Court either Sky in hopes of getting a harmony. Of course to Court either, they have to get past Nyx and Nyx’s info network first which is a grueling gauntlet of terror and mind-screwing because 90% of Nyx’s info network/friends are all Mists who keeping trying and failing to Braincell this reckless reborn Ulric.

One day an Inverted Cloud shows up at Hestia’s cafe, takes one (1) look at Nyx, who is on forced vacation with his arm in a sling, and starts reaming him out. People kinda side-eye the Cloud, expecting blood to fly, but instead Nyx bursts into tears of joy because IT’S LIB. LIB IS HERE. Wait that means you died DANG IT LIB YOU PROMISED.

Lib: I DIED AT AGE EIGHTY WITH GREAT-GRANDKIDS. TIMELINE IS JUST SCREWED UP HERE. YOU’RE THE ONE WHO DIED YOUNG AND DUMB AND HAVING LIED TO ME. YOU DON’T GET TO LECTURE ME ON ANYTHING.

Nyx: I HAD TO PROTECT YOU AND LUNA.

Lib: NOT BY GETTING USED AS A CANDLE BY THE GHOSTS OF SOME OLD DUDES IN A RING YOU DIDN’T.

Random Vongola agent who happens to be in earshot and knows the legend of the Vongola Rings: ????????????

Anyway eventually more formerly dead glaives show up and wind up being Nana/Hestia’s Elements and Tsuna/Regis grows up thoroughly Galahdian and self-confident and HUGELY POWERFUL as a Sky because HAH take that Vongola. Also somehow the entire mafia world, proving their SPARKLING non-intelligence, never realizes that Tsuna is like- a vongola.

Because he totally doesn’t look like a mini ghost of Primo or anything NO SIR (rolls eyes).

Also Tsuna/Regis somehow still picks up all his canon elements. 

Gokudera when they snap bond after running into each other on Mafia Land. 

Takeshi on a visit to japan with Nyx where Tsuna/Regis talks Takeshi out of jumping off a bridge and also maybe running away to be mafia with him rather than hang out with the bullies on his baseball team. 

Kyoka and Ryohei after Nyx accidentally rescues them from a child trafficking ring (blowing up the trafficking ring in the process VERY intentionally thank you).

Hibari because the little maniac FOLLOWED NYX HOME after picking a fight with him during one of his deliveries to someone in Namimori (Regis took great offense to this kid attacking HIS big brother and Threw Hands in true Galahdian fashion, Hibari was an Awe of this Smol deceptively fluffy and cute carnivore). Lambo just kinda ... shows up one day and never leaves (Nyx suspects his family intentionally “lost” him in Mafia Land while on vacation and makes a mental note to have his info network raise hell for the Bovino because HOW DARE).

However, his FIRST Elements are Mukuro and his gang. Because Nyx may or may not have busted into the lab by accident while looking to steal something else entirely and then gone on a Rampage through the facility, rescuing kids as he went. The moment Regis laid eyes on the shell-shocked, skinny, traumatized Mukuro and co, he ran over and pumped them full of Sky Flames to make them feel better and BOOM snap bond.

Libertus and the others work hard to keep Mukuro on an even keel. While also telling the Vindice to shove it when they come sniffing around because YOU CAN’T BUST US FOR BREAKING THE NO-FIGHTING LAW WHEN YOU WERE IGNORING THIS. The Vindice, surprisingly, accept this argument and buzz off.

Mukuro wandered off and came home with Chrome one day when he was twelve. No one knows how. No one knows why. But there is no way you are convincing Nyx or anyone else in Hestia’s Elements that Chrome isn’t Mukuro’s long lost twin and thus THEIRS.

Also Chrome does not have organ damage in this so yay.

Nyx takes one (1) look at Reborn when the cursed baby comes sniffing around Hestia’s cafe in curiosity of the Uber Powerful Skies, sees Reborn smack Regis with Leon Mallet, and promptly Throws Hands.

Reborn was Not Prepared for this Stormy Sun to be able to steamroll him with the vast and unorthodox experience of being a Glaive who tackles Flames with the understanding of Magic That Can Do Pretty Much What I Want Barring Some Things rather than the Mafia’s religiously conditioned rules of Flames Do This and Are Like This And Only This and then kick him off the nearest peer.

Colonello, who has already been taught to Fear The Reincarnated Feral Glaives, just sits there and laughs at Reborn’s confusion at finally meeting a Sun even more powerful and stubborn than him.

Also at some point Nyx straight up steals Xanxus because the Varia hired him to and then just .... never gives him back. Melts him free, sure, but the kid is CLEARLY unstable and in need of mental help and Vongola sure isn’t going to give it to him so Nyx just kinda ... sics Hestia on Xanxus and when the Varia come thundering in thinking Nyx had broken his contract they find Xanxus sitting there with a befuddled but surprisingly un-angry expression, holding a cup of tea rather than alcohol and with Hestia putting his favorite steak down for him.

Also Regis is sitting in Xanxus’s lap radiating so much Sky Flames that Xanxus can’t really ... think straight enough to be mad about much. Because seriously if Tsuna/Regis could defeat a trained assassin when he was a noob middle school kid while his Flames were SEALED then you better believe that when unsealed and raised in a loving, nurturing environment he can Therapy Jutsu anyone through the sheer power of his Flame aura.

Except Iemitsu.

Iemitsu gets shanked at some point.

Nobody will say by who.

But Libertus looks very, very Smug (he is a Cloud and Hestia and Regis are part of his Territory. What did you expect to happen. The only difference between Lib and Hibari is Lib is an Inverted and so is better at the Stealthy Route).

[sparkie96]

How do you feel about an AU Chreon, Leon's 9 months pregnant and has been kidnapped, And Chris comes to save him but he going into labor... and their B.O.W's (I got the idea from some movie I've seen about a deaf girl and her mom going into labor in the bathroom... I can't remember the name of it, but it's good) Sorry this is so long, I hope you enjoy it :)

(Yeah, I’m not really good at that kind of stuff and that movie made me a bit uncomfortable so...

I have a preview of an upcoming fic if that makes up for it?)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

And yet, here he was, in a hospital room with a peeved and annoyed Omega. The peace was over and the old Leon was back, glaring at Chris as he held their son, feeding the baby. He couldn’t read Leon as easily as he could before, the Omega’s body language a bit more difficult to decipher than before. Leon’s eyes were obviously angry, but at the same time, it looked like the scowl he always wore. 

The doctors and nurses fluttered in and out of the room, checking on Leon and the baby, offering to fetch Leon food and running tests just to make sure both the mother and child were in perfect health. They acknowledged Chris as well, of course, asking if he needed anything and how he felt about being a new father. 

“You two must be so happy!” One of the nurses gushed, “Congratulations!” 

Leon merely hummed in reply, not looking Chris in the eye at the moment and instead focused on the little television at the foot of the bed, watching whatever it was that they had put on for them. Either way, he couldn’t look Chris directly in the face without wanting to punch him in it. The nurses and doctors finally gave them privacy, congratulating them once more before closing the door behind them, going out to tend to the other patients.

It was quiet, neither speaking to the other. Chris cleared his throat, trying to get Leon’s attention, but the Omega deliberately ignored him. Ollie cooed as he fed from his mother, Leon gently pulling him off to burp him. Chris watched intently, making sure Leon didn’t try anything that would end up hurting the little baby. Or maybe he was watching out of his own paranoia, to make sure Leon didn’t try to pull something that would end up hurting Chris. 

“So…” Chris began, “Ollie is absolutely perfect.” 

Leon raised his brows for a moment, but said nothing in reply, rocking the baby in his arms slowly. His attention was focused solely on the little one, pretending Chris wasn’t right there in his space. He was afraid he might do something he might regret if he looked up at the elder.

Chris sighed, “You’re mad at me.” 

“You think?” Leon asked with a dark chuckle, “Boy, I can’t imagine why!” 

“Hey! You can’t be mad at me! I wasn’t the one who assisted an international terrorist!” Chris hissed. 

“She was a key fucking witness, you Fuckwit!” Leon argued, “You let the actual terrorist walk free and then had me fucking facilitated! And then, you fucking took me to your home and fucking took advantage of me!"  

“One: Ada has been involved with numerous terrorist organizations and worked with the likes of Wesker and Neo-Umbrella. You could have apprehended her at any time, but each time you let her walk after you two exchanged goo-goo eyes and played Patty-Cake! Two: Simmons is clean, we found nothing. Three: You had yourself facilitated! That was on you!” Chris hollered, the commotion disturbing Ollie’s nap and making the baby cry loudly, "And I took you home because no one else would-!"

Before they could go any further, another nurse came back with Leon’s lunch, both Chris and Leon freezing and looking at the nurse. The man apologized for interrupting them, asking if everything was alright in here. Cold blue orbs met equally cold brown briefly, exchanging angry looks as Chris gave a nod, and a faux smile, telling the nurse that everything was just peachy. They were just having a conversation...a very loud conversation and had accidentally woken the baby from his nap. 

The nurse beamed, setting the tray of food down on the little side table next to Leon’s hospital bed. Leon gave his own faux smile, noticing the nurse examining him. The man canted his head, asking Chris if Leon was one of those facility Omegas. He recalled Chris mentioning it prior to the baby’s birth, saying that Leon was one and had been prepared for these kinds of things. 

“Oh...yeah. He is.” Chris confirmed, “Why? Is there something wrong?” 

The nurse looked to Leon again, the Omega clearly confused and annoyed, “I don’t know...but aren’t those types of Omegas supposed to be...happy and sunshine and rainbows twenty-four-seven? Leon seems a bit more...doom and gloom. During the birth, he seemed a tad...feral.” The nurse explained. 

Chris scoffed, “What? No! He was in pain! Of course he seemed feral! Birth isn’t exactly a ticklish process! He’ll be fine once I get him back home! Right, Leon?” 

Leon looked between the nurse and Chris, giving an even bigger smile and a nod, looking more unhinged than friendly, “Absolutely! I am absolutely ecstatic about the birth of our precious baby boy! I cannot wait to go back to my Omega duties and care for my mate and child!” 

The nurse raised a brow, a bit disturbed at the unnatural smile Leon wore and the overly happy and kind of robotic tone that Leon spoke with. He merely shook his head, mentally saying that maybe he was just a bit too tired due to the long shift. He apologized for his prodding and congratulated them on the birth of their child before excusing himself from their hospital room. 

Chris gave Leon a look, “Yeah...I think that was definitely convincing. Not at all suspicious…” he said sarcastically. 

“Oh, fuck off.” Leon said with a sigh, digging into his lunch. 

________________________________________________________________

Leon and Ollie were kept overnight, Chris not leaving their side for even a second. Leon asked exactly what had happened between now and China, saying that his memory had been really fuzzy after China. He could only minimally remember the facility, up until a certain point. And then it was nothing but painful white noise, drawing a blank.

Chris held Ollie as he contemplated telling Leon the truth. He then told him what had happened without going too in depth with the details, saying that Ada Wong and Neo-Umbrella had been disposed of, Ada having been killed by suits in a helicopter and the facilities in the gulf had been taken care of. Piers had been lost in the process...thanks to Ada's pet project, but they had been in the process of looking for him, saying that it was possible that he could still be alive. Or at least locate a body so his family could have a body to bury in New England. 

Then, there had been news that Leon had gone "feral" and due to his behavior, the courts and DSO had facilitated him. Helena had been incarcerated for assisting Leon and Ada in the attacks and agents within the DSO had been arrested as well for helping and colluding with Neo-Umbrella operatives, including Ingrid Hunnigan for assisting Helena and Leon after Tall Oaks. 

Leon listened intently, feeling sick to his stomach at the news. Christ...he failed Helena, Hunnigan, Adam, the people of Tall Oaks...and even Ada. Christ, how had Simmons gotten away with all of this? Why would Ada do this? Wasn't she above all that? 

"As for the facility bit...they had me fill out paperwork and then made me wait two to three months until you were "Fixed" and showed up at my doorstep all Stepford Housewife out." Chris explained, "What do you remember happening?" 

Leon tried to remember but grunted, holding his head in pain. He tried...he really did, but he only had small flashes of memory, the sound of a machine, a loud whining sound...bright fluorescent lights...almost like...Christ! Why the Hell did his head hurt so much? Why couldn't he remember?

"I don't know...I can't remember…" Leon admitted, "Head hurts like a bitch to try…" 

Chris hummed, "That might be due to the electro shock therapy they put you through while you were there." He explained, "You showed up with these marks on both of your temples, and Dr. Policki said that it was all part of your treatment." 

"Yeah, cause that's legal…" Leon replied sarcastically, "So...when can I go home?" 

"You and Ollie will be dismissed tomorrow morning if all the tests look good and you feel good enough to do so." Chris explained. 

"And what about you?" Leon asked, wondering if the Alpha had previously understood what Leon had been implying. 

Chris caught on, "You don't have an apartment to go back to...or a job. They ransacked the apartment and your office...you live with me now for a reason." He reminded him, "Legally, and I hate to be the one to tell you this, I own you." 

"I'm not property." Leon growled, "I should be able to come and go as I please." 

"Not anymore." Chris pointed out, "Not after all the shit you've been involved with. You were considered a threat to the public...hell, you're technically still a threat now that the hypnosis wore off. The government stripped you of everything and declared you feral." 

Leon scoffed and shook his head at Chris, asking the man if he was serious. Chris only gave him a look, saying that he was dead serious and Leon wasn't going anywhere unless he had an escort or Chris was with him. He was lucky to be allowed to go outside at all. Leon argued that he wasn't a threat...because he didn't have anything to do with the Tall Oaks incident. Yes, he shot the president, but the man had already turned by the time he did so, and he even hesitated when he did so. That it was Simmons who was behind everything. 

Chris shook his head, waving Leon off, "Leon, enough." He said sternly, "The BSAA and the DSO have their evidence that you and Agent Harper colluded with Ada Wong and caused all of this. From Edonia, to Tall Oaks." 

Leon narrowed his eyes, "What...the Hell is Edonia?" He asked, sounding genuinely confused. 

Chris sighed and shook his head again, "I don't want to talk about it. Not now." 

"Why? How can I be responsible for any of that if-?" 

"Enough!" Chris repeated, "I don't...just, for once in your life, shut up. Please." 

"No! You're accusing me of something I didn't do! I was arrested for shit I had no involvement in and now you, a man I thought I could trust, won't even let me explain myself!" Leon protested. 

"What is there left to explain?" Chris asked, "We have all the evidence. The DSO does too and you've already been convicted, done your time and now you're serving your sentence. Just stop before you make things worse for yourself." 

Leon let out an over exasperated growl of frustration, choosing to shut up and sit back in the bed. He crossed his arms and merely glared up at Chris. The Alpha gave a sigh and relaxed in his seat, looking from Ollie to the Omega, watching Leon. 

This wasn't going to be smooth sailing from here on out.

vincent is the traitor! Peter Rataris unknowing pawn

over the course of the series many have speculated that Norman would betray Emma and become the main villain of the series, resulting in a friend turned foe situation. Well, as much as many believe this to be true I cant help but feel that something is up.

 Kaiu Shirai, the creator of “the promised never land”, stated to the public that one of the things he enjoys doing, is deceiving readers. Knowing this and looking at how everyone has concluded that Norman is the villain of the series and a traitor to Emma, leads me to believe that we are all falling right into Shirais deception. So then, if Norman isn't the traitor of the series then who is? well, I, as well as other, believe its Vincent. 

First lets talk about what could’ve made Vincent a traitor. Vincent is a survivor of lambda, he was rescued by Norman then later becomes one of normans top officers, along with Cislo , Barbara and Zazie. Aside from being able to fight demons barehanded he is also seen to be very intelligent, knowing a great deal about medicines and even machinery, but most importantly, aside from Norman, Vincent may be the only other person among the cattle children (not including Emma and her group) with superior intellect. 

And yet, something seems very off about him. Compared to Barbara and the others Vincent seems to put more effort into “matching” Norman. Norman dresses very professionally and Vincent can be seen doing the same,

 Norman speaks in a very polite and discrete manner and Vincent can be seen behaving in the same way.

 We know that the lambda children idolize Norman and look at him as their savior, but what if Vincent didn't just idolize him, what if he was full blown obsessed with Norman?. 

how did Vincent develop his Norman obsession? well, it most likely had to do with the fact that he was at lambda.  Lambda is a hellish place, not only are you experimented on but you are also separated from the rest of the world with no hope of survival.

 In chapter 119 Norman explains to everyone that he managed to escape from lambda by first finding an accomplice, that accomplice is Vincent since its his name written in the secret message of the rubix cube.

 If you look at Vincents clothes in chapter 129 you can clearly see Vincent and Norman are wearing the same clean clothes, confirming that Vincent was experimented on in a similar manner as Norman. 

If he was, then that means Vincent was isolated in a room just like Normans where he could be monitored at all times. 

Considering that Vincent was able to make contact with Norman first, tells us that he was already at lambda long before Norman arrived, giving him the time needed to learn about the facility and contact others unnoticed.

Vincents attempts to contact others probably didn't start with Norman either, he may have already made several attempts, however, its likely no one was able to catch on to his secret message. If Vincent was going on day after day hoping that someone would be smart enough to decipher his message then odds are all that waiting made him go a bit crazy. Isolation can make anyone crazy, and in Vincents case once Norman replied to his secret code it would have not only sparked a flicker of hope but it  would've also marked the beginning of an interest that would later develop into an obsession. An obsession over learning more and desiring to be closer to Norman.

After finally escaping lambda Vincent would’ve just simply cherished the fact that he would finally be by his godly Normans side. I’m guessing for a while Vincent truly believed everything was perfect, and nothing could change the way things were. That is until Emma and ray came back into Normans life.

If Vincent really is crazy for Norman then this spells major trouble. If Vincent  realized that another person was not only able to catch Normans full attention but also have the potential of making him switch his loyalty to them, then surely Vincent would become possessive of Norman.

 In chapter 124 when Emma and ray meet Cislo, Barbara and Vincent. Barbara and Cislo intimidate them, then begin boasting about how great they are compared to them.

 Vincent states they are “ childishly competing with you”, but what are they competing against?, its clear to them ray and Emma don’t have their strength so its possible that they are competing with them in terms of  value to Norman, they are jealous. Vincent is the only one who remains civil about the matter but its possible even he felt a sense of jealousy towards Emma and ray, or perhaps even a sense of animosity towards them as he listened to stories about how Norman was much happier with them in his life at grace field.

 In chapter 122, before meeting Emma, Vincent meets up with Norman, telling him he heard word from other children about how Norman acted like a completely different person when he was around Emma and the others.

 It must have been quite a shock to Vincent when he heard Norman was acting so happily, after all,  in chapter 124 Vincent and the others describe Norman as being nothing more than cold and serious in the time they knew him. 

however,  rather than talking to Vincent more leisurely about his reunion,   Norman quickly shuts him down and shifts the focus back to his plan. 

with the way Norman shut Vincent down,  Vincent may have already developed a bit of dislike towards Emma for not only bringing out a side of Norman he could never bring out himself,  but for also revealing to him that Emma and the others might actually have an impact on Normans perfect image.

  After talking with Emma and Ray in chapter 124 , Vincent may not have just felt jealous and spiteful towards them, he might have also developed a sense of fear... fear that he would lose Norman to his original family. Now that he knows just how much of an impact Emma and her friends can cause, Vincent may have determined Norman was better of without them.

I’m guessing this isn't the first time Vincent felt this way either. According to Norman,  Smee was the only other person he could rely on when planning his escape at lambda,

 however, on the day of Normans escape, Smee was captured. Just what happened to him is unknown, 

but because he was a Minerva supporter norman says it is likely he was killed, or was he? but more on Smee in another theory 

if Smee was the only other person at lambda capable of connecting with Norman, then its possible Vincent may have felt the same fear and jealousy he felt when Emma came back into Normans life. These emotions could’ve lead him to do something that Smee may have soon found out for himself...Vincent may have betrayed Smee and handed him over to Peter Ratari.

 what if Vincent  exposed Smee to Peter? he may have planned Smees capture to occur the same day lambda was destroyed, allowing him to completely hide his tracks and avoid any suspicion from Norman. However, if Vincent believed he could get away with using peter then he is sorely mistaken. Using peter is a big mistake, he is not someone you should get involved with, seriously, from what we’ve seen, the guy is evil on a completely different level!!.  

 Despite being loyal to Norman, Vincent  may have taken it upon himself to ensure that Normans brilliant mind would not be influenced by anyone. And what better way to do that than by getting rid of those people like he did with Smee

 in chapter 129 when Norman talks to Vincent and the others about what is going to happen to mujica, he tells them not to worry about it, that he will deal with it. 

 in chapter 143 when don and Gilda finally reunite with mujica and sonju, hayato thinks back to when he and jin were tasked with killing mujica. The weird thing is, its not Norman giving them the order to do it, its Vincent! 

and even though in chapter 144 don and Gilda cry over realizing that Norman has lied to them in order to kill mujica

 they may not realize that it probably wasn't Norman who planed the assassination !

Some of you may say, “but wait, it had to be Normans plan, after all back in chapter 138 Cislo and Vincent were having a conversation about the whole ordeal being Normans idea ”, maybe, but what if we misinterpreted that conversation?. 

When Cislo starts asking questions to Vincent over the plan, he first asks “ you think they’ll find the evil blooded?”, Vincent assures him they will since Norman was even able to find geelan. Cislo then asks, “you think they can kill her?”, Vincent assures him they will and states that he simply needs to trust Norman on that matter. 

when cislo says “ you think THEY can kill HER” our immediate thought is that he is talking about mujica, but what if he wasn't talking about her?, what if cislo was asking about queen legravalima?

 In chapter 148  Norman states that the royal family, including legravalima are very powerful and intelligent, and in chapter 149 we can see she is fully capable of wiping out a large number of geelans army with ease

 Despite Normans plan to kill all demons, we see now that Normans plan was actually to have geelan weaken or kill the queen instead while at the same time reduce his own armys numbers trying to fight her. She is to much for Norman and the others to handle on their own without first being weakened.

the “THEY “ in cislos question might actually have been referring to geelan and his army!.  In chapter 138 Cislo might have been expressing to Vincent his concern for not just finding mujica but for the killing of the queen!. And why would cislo be told to trust Norman on that matter? because, even if geelan fails to kill the queen he would have still done his part to leave Norman with the opening needed to kill the royal family once they were weakened. And as of chapter 150, we can see this is currently happening 

 Which again leads me back to the whole mujica assassination. if you think about it carefully you may find that the whole plan is suspicious!. First of all why would Norman send hayato and jin on a serious assassination mission when all they ever do is escort missions?. Back in chapter 114 and 115, it was jin and hayato that needed to be saved from demons, 

they were completely incapable of fighting. In chapter 135 when hayato is revealed to be don and gildas escort, everyone feels concerned, saying he is not the most reliable, hayato even stated himself that he is not reliable at all!

In chapter 139, when its revealed that jin is also following don and Gilda with a bunch of children just like Adam, it can seem as if jin and hayato really are  capable of completing the assassination.

 Children like Adam are after all strong enough to take down a demon single handedly, however, they are by no means skilled. Every punch they throw, every swing they take doesn't just go to the demon, the attack itself goes to whatever is in that range, and they cant exactly stop midway of an attack either, all they have is brute strength, I mean just look at what one of them did to a tree when attempting to attack Sonju

If Vincent purposely assigned Jin and Hayato with the assassination plan and sent a handful of Adam kids with them, then its likely that his plan was to distract sonju with the Adam kids and have Don and Gilda accidentally killed while attempting to protect mujica from Jin and Hayato. Once mujica was killed, sonju, in a moment of rage, would kill jin, hayato, and ayshe

And in his moment of rage the other Adam kids would’ve received the opening needed to finish him off. Later on, if anyone were to question why Jin went with them when he wasn't even assigned to the escort group back at the base, Vincent could simply lie by saying jin went on his own out of worry or he could say that he sent Jin and the other Adam kids just to make sure don and gilda were well protected in case mujica turned on them, once they were all killed, Vincent could simply blame the demons.

 But wait, if the Adam kids are the only survivors wouldn't that ruin Vincents plan once they came back? no, because once the assassination plan was done, the  Adam kids who went with jin and hayato could simply go back into hiding with the other children, and that’s if they ever find their way back at all!, they are after all, not very smart to begin with. But wait!,  wouldn't the Adam kids say something? no, because just as we have seen with Adam in chapter 73

 all Adam kids have a short attention span and little interest in talking just like Adam, even if they did talk, no one would understand what they were talking about 

 Heck, Adam repeatedly said Normans number back at goldy pond and neither Emma or Ray ever caught on that he was saying Normans number!. 

even when he went on to live with Emma in the underground shelter, Adam never once says Normans number ever again, until they actually reunite with him in chapter 119

 As long as the Adam kids stay silent, Vincent wouldn't have to worry about anyone finding out about mujicas assassination plan, 

However, judging by how things went,  Vincent probably didn't expect the Adam kids to suffer from seizures during the attack and he most certainly didn't think that ayshe could actually talk and wind up helping don and Gilda. If so, then as of right now, Vincent is currently at the castle unaware of the fact that mujica and sonju are alive, and worse, that hayato is now with them at the capital on their side! practically guarantying his exposure to Norman

the only question now is, what was he planning on doing with Emma and ray?,perhaps Vincent had a microphone or camera in Normans office (is he that obsessed? probably) and thru his ipad/tablet, which we can clearly see he owns in chapter 122,

 he was able to listen in and learn about how no one has ever made it back from the seven walls . 

Vincent probably underestimated Emma and Ray and believed they would never come back as well.

unfortunately for him, Emma and Ray did come back and are now at the capital as well. In chapter 146, Vincent is placed in charge of hacking and controlling the security system, and as we can see by whats behind Vincent 

 the castle is equipped with cameras and TV monitors to see everything going on in the castle.   In chapter 149, when Emma and Ray are trying to figure out how to get into the now gated castle

 we see a quick shot of Vincent in the security room staring at his ipad/tablet

 he knows Emma and Ray are there! but he doesn't notify Norman that Emma is making her way in! why?, because, what lies beyond that gate is the battle between zazie and the queen.

 if Emma has no idea were Norman is and makes her way into the final battle to kill the royal family she could end up getting herself killed, which is exactly what Vincent wants, after all, aside from the Adam children, zazie also has a hard time focusing on who to attack. Back in chapter 117, zazie almost killed Emma in the midst of killing the demons

and sadly, with Normans eyes focused on killing the royal family, he hasn't even considered the fact that Emma might have returned from the seven walls and is now trying to find him amidst the chaos. Emma did say in chapter 128 that Normans logic was all based on numbers and probability and there was no guarantee his plan would succeed without any issues, well guess what!, the one thing he for sure thought would never happen is happening right now!

In chapter 148 when Emma and Ray are heading to the capital, they come across the demon army Norman had planned to lure away to other demon villages.

 However, Ray and the others soon realize that they are not going to demon villages or back to the royal capital. They are instead searching for the cattle childrens hideout!,

whats worse is, they know exactly what area to begin searching, but how?, how do they know where to begin looking?, my guess is Vincent was being tracked by peter after lambda was destroyed!. Like I said before, peter is not someone you should get involved with, if Vincent really did try using peter to get rid of Smee then odds are peter must have figured out Vincent was involved with Norman as well as Smee and chose to keep a watchful eye on lambda and the area around it whenever he wasn't there, how could he do this? why with secret cameras of course.

 back in chapter 112 ray reveals that Peter Ratari used camera owls to track them down from the very moment they left mujica and sonju in search of shelter B 06-32 way back in chapter 51.

 It was those same camera owls that pinpointed the shelters location as well as the cameras belonging to the shelters security system. Whats worse, peter has a tone of these owls flying around! and it may not just be owls. Since its peters job to make sure the human and demon world are upholding their end of the promise, who knows what else he is using to monitor the demon world.  

If peter did use Vincent as a way to find the others then he would have already made a plan to take back all the cattle children the day they were at their weakest, that day was the day Norman was away at the capital with nearly all their strongest fighters.

if any of this is true, then its only a mater of time before Vincent  is exposed, not just as a traitor but as one of peters unknowing pawns in his plan to recapture(or kill) all the cattle children. Then again, there’s also the possibility that Vincent may have secretly been working with peter this whole time, and only pretended to be normans ally until the grace field children arrived. But hey, thats just a theory, a the promised never land theory!

*insert me waving my arms like noodles* MORE REID CONCEPTS EVEN THO NO ONE ASKED FOR ‘EM!

full disclaimer: i’m gunna write these! if you like one please request it and i’ll do it when i can! a lot of these are similar probably because my mind goes huh thats a good one write it down now it’s that but like, to the left. also i come up with these watching or reading other things then im like hmm now add spencer reid or me acting (thats how i make most of these a fun little secret about me and my writing technique). also i write these on my phone so im sure there are lots of errors sorry!

hey check out me cool new masterlist here!

requests and tagslist open!!

-the most unrealistic part of this show was that in all the time the team spent in high schools no teen girls have hit on any of them, so in this concept this one kinda midrange popular chick hits on reid by being kinda snarky but clearly super smart idk think it’d be cute

-reid’s daughter is actually the unsub w trauma from him always being gone for work and blaming him for her moms death he has to stop her and there’s a shoot up where she ends up walking up to his gun and like presses it i to her stomach and pulling one of those, “go ahead, dad, shoot me”

-the whole “she’s being chased and screaming while running down the street but no ones helping her until she runs into the good samaritan” and reid just happens to be the man she crashes into

-they take a case and are sure it’s this older teenage girl (probably 16-18, she doesnt confess but the profile is super close and there’s a lot of things that could lead to her) (she was probably framed) 3 years later they get a string of murders just like those bau gets called in thinking its a copycat until it’s not, they catch the real killer, have to apologize to this innocent kid that was forced to spend her college years in a state correctional facility IM WRITING THIS ONE!

-mc is at one of jack’s soccer games because her little brother is on the team, the bau gang is there bc support their office dads ka know and she meets reid at the concession stand and walk back before he gets hit w the ball

-mc is reids teenage daughter and she got in an accident and woke up blind and she’s freaking out like what’s happening why cant i see dad somethings wrong i cant see freaking out

-mc (intern allowed to shadow on a very light hearted mission) does something stupid in the field (gets knocked out maybe?) and very reid after anthrax w morgan she wakes up and says a very teen line like “not a fan” or “i dont vibe w this” ya know

-mc is spencers daughter and she’s been sick recently but when he’s on a case she passes out during school so he flies back from wherever he was on the case and she’s got like cancer and it’s terminal but she doesn’t want to take the pills or whatever or do treatment so Spence is always like forcing her to take her pills and she ends up breaking down screaming to just let her die

-the mc has CF w a mask and bag for oxygen and is at where the unsub lives and they barge in and local pd are clown bags trying to force her to drop her oxygen and remove her mask so she’s panicking like if i do i will die and then reid realizes it and helps out

-reids daughter was kidnapped when she was 6 now 10 years later he gets a call saying they found her in a cellar in new jersey and hes like omg and it was like the cellar where shes brainwashed into thinking shes someone else

-it was just this girl and her dad (like no aunts or uncles mom and grandparents are dead) turns out her dad ended up being the unsub but he won’t cooperate w/o talking to her first and so shes traumatized cuz say she walked in on him torturing someone and the team has to help her go through that aw

-family killer killed this girls entire family except her and this girl has to go through the house and collect her things but she kinda freaks out (like starting to panic clean bc “mom wanted me to clean this etc etc)

-family killer again kills everyone except her and her dogs (i dont have the willpower to kill dogs even if its fictional) but she she’s it no aunt or uncles or grandparents just her dogs and they seized them but she keeps asking the team about her dogs bc shes like temp living out of the station but she begs them to see her dogs and they’re like fine alright and the team loves the dogs and a cute moment if clarity that reminds the team why they do what they do

i’m rewatching glee so here are a bunch of glee inspired things i imagine reid’s daughter doing i came up w thru

-spencer comes home from work one night to his daughter just like, sobbing hysterically and she they hug for a while but then she locks herself in her room and avoids reid only leaving for food and to throw up then he’s like ok time to talk after worrying for a few weeks and she’s prego and her bf broke up with her because of it and she doesn’t know what to do

-being the lead for glee and reid and the team go and support her at sectionals, something similar to season 1 where she pulls a rachel berry and she has to do an impromptu solo song and they’re all like your kids v good reid where’d she get the talent

-his daughter is the lead cheerleader for his school (she’s a flyer) and the team goes to a game to see the routine and when she’s yeeted into the air he’s freaking out cuz like what if they drop her she’d, like, die. maybe the team drops her? we’ll see what happens if/when/if i write this

- it’s literally the last one except she’s a dancer maybe

Hi! How often do you run into psychiatric patients during work as an EMT? I'm doing psych right now and we had a 12 yo girl whose mom had her in porn at 6mo-9mo and I just want to scream at 1. these people who are pro-porn and 2. the mom is clearly mentally ill, but still what the effffff. So how do you deal with these patients?

I'm going to start this off by saying that those parents should be reported to CPS. That is absolutely disgusting and I would not let those monsters anywhere near a child. If you have not contacted the proper authorities yet then please do so now because their child (children?) Are being abused and absolutely nobody deserves that. Especially an innocent child. If you have actual evidence of the abuse and the evil things that the parent did then those kids should be taken away and locked up never to see the light of day again. Pieces of shit.

We run into psych patients on the regular. Whether it is a person who is having a psychotic episode, a person who is suicidal, a person who cant take care of him/herself, or a person who just has some sort of addiction where they are self medicating to forget about their problems (either drugs or alcohol. Sometimes both). It is all part of the job. Each patient is different. I've had psych patients who wanted complete silence. I've had psych patients threaten to harm/murder/rape me. Hell, just a couple days ago one tried to attack me in the back of the ambulance on the way to the hospital. I've had psych patients who just wanted someone to talk to. And I've had psych patients that I didnt even realize were potential psych patients until after the call was over. You have to be able to assess the situation and from there you can move forward in patient care. I'll give you a couple examples of times situations were handled well and times they were not and how I decided to act/treat my patient.

1.)

We had a 911 call for a behavioral overdose. Sheriffs were already on scene (good). We get there to find a high school aged girl. She was alert and oriented (AO). Her whole family was around plus the sheriffs, plus the fire engine, plus the fire medics, plus me and my partner. There were too many people. We are trying to talk to our patient and figure out the whole story but she isnt really talking. I turn to the fire medic (they technically are in charge of medical calls, so what they say goes even if it's wrong and stupid) and say let's get her loaded up and he agrees. We walk her to the gurney and load her into the ambulance. Typically we allow one family member/friend to ride along with a patient especially if the patient is a minor. Unless the patient is a psych patient. And heres why. Once the girl was in the back of the ambulance and away from the hoards of people she started answering our questions. She told us everything that happened leading up to this point and why she did it and how she was feeling. I gained her trust by talking to her and separating her from what was causing her anxiety and other feelings that werent good. During the transport I realized she just needed to be distracted. I was monitoring her closely with the medic and got all the medical information I needed. So we just talked about school and plans for college. We talked about her favorite tv shows and how I spelled my name wrong for 13 years. That's all she needed. But not everyone needs that. This is an example of a good call.

2.)

I will start this off by saying I can be sarcastic. Which is not always a good thing. Okay so. This was a transfer call for a man on a legal hold. We were taking him from an emergency room to an actual psych facility where the remainder of his hold would be carried out. This guy was extremely tall like over 6 feet and used to be in the military and still worked out a ton so he was pretty muscular. I just so happened to be driving this day. While my partner was getting his report I went to go get a set of vitals to make sure he was stable and nothing was wrong. Before I can even get them this dude is making all sorts of racist remarks and how he doesnt want to go to whatever psych hospital we are taking him to because "its associated with a certain kind of people if you know what I mean." Then goes on to say hes not going (which tbh if you're on a hold it doesnt matter if you want to go or not. You have to go until you are psychologically cleared). I explained that because he was on a hold he had to go and I wasnt the one who set up the transfer. I literally am just the driver and I go where my dispatch sends me. He then responds with "well what if I fight you" I realize I wasnt going to get my vitals and that this guy was going to be a problem. I walk over to my partner and tell him what's going on and that we need to use restraints (which I rarely use because who wants to be restrained?). At this point we now have sheriffs there to help us get the guy on our gurney and to protect us if this guy freaks out. We get him on our gurney and I put the restraints on. After putting on restraints you have to check for a pulse in the extremity and make sure they can still wiggle their fingers/toes. So I ask him to wiggle his fingers and he flips me off. Me being the sarcastic person I am and without thinking I responded with "oh thanks. I havent had that in a while. Could I get another?" The dude then threatens to rape me and becomes very agitated. I messed up. We de-escalated the situation thank goodness. But I could have handled that situation better. I knew he was already agitated and a dumb comment like that could have easily been the breaking point for him. Dont do something stupid like that.

3.)

We had a transfer for a woman who was on a hold. This was out of one of the worst hospitals I know. Literally the hospital that killed my grandpa. I already hated being there, but how the staff treats patients both medically and professionally (if you can even call it that) was absolute shit. I hated this hospital even before my grandpa was a patient there because of how incompetent and rude the staff was. Sorry I got distracted and ranted, but the backstory is relevant. I go to try and get a report from the nurse who knows absolutely nothing about this patient. Cant give me any history. Doesnt know what meds (if any) were even given. And gets annoyed when I ask for an actual report. Not just the "oh yes that lady is on a hold. She can talk but is being selectively mute. And you're taking her to this place. K bye." At this point I realize I'm going to get nothing from this 'nurse' and I just look through the packet. I go over to the patient who is just sitting there on the bed staring off into thin air. I realized that any loud noise or sudden movement scares her. So I slowly inch my way to her and introduce myself. I tell her I'm there to take her to a different hospital where the staff will be able to take care of her better and where she can get the help she needs. In that whole interaction I got her to say maybe a couple words. And they were basically what's going on. I realized the staff at this shit hospital did not tell her what was happening. Nobody told her she was being transferred. They literally just left her to sit in her own feces because they couldnt be bothered to do their job. Before I even touched her I told her everything that would happen. I walked her through the entire transfer process and let her know what was going on. Then once we were ready to actually start getting her onto our gurney before I made any movement I told her exactly what I was doing. She was completely fine with me. Once we get her to the psych place we finish up our transport and are about to leave she grabs my partners hand says "are they going to be nice and take care of me here?" My heart broke. I told her that yes she would be taken care of and that she wouldnt be ignored here as I know this hospital has great staff. She smiled and let us go.

By assessing the situations and the patients you are able to figure out how to handle your patient. Ive learned from my mistakes and I've learned from my coworkers who have been around longer than me. But always be cautious as a patients mood can change at any time. Even if you dont do anything to trigger it. A patient will go from happy and smiling to trying to punch you in the face. Know your surroundings. Be ready to react because things can change in an instant.

Addition: any sort of illegal activity I will report to the proper authorities. I have reported hospitals, families, and nursing home for neglect and other forms of abuse. If you are sure then ask someone who knows more. I usually ask the supervisor I trust or my coworker who's been doing this for 20 years.

It had been a week since Iden had first booked out of work with a nasty case of the flu which didn’t seem to want to dissipate, leaving him stuck in bed and useless all week, leaving Hannah to do all the work he was missing, doubling her work load, and cutting her break time to a glorious zero hours a day.

A week since Hannah has had the time to have a meal, a week since she’s been able to properly hydrate, and a week since she’s been able to have more than an hours worth of sleep, not that she had even been getting that, the stress of jeopardising their jobs weighing down on her shoulders like a leaded weight.

By that Sunday night, a full week since Iden got sick, she looked terrible. Her hair was messy and bushy on her head, haphazardly pulled back from her face. Her eyes were sunken and had dark rings of purple around them, making her look like she had two black eyes. Her skin was paler than normal, and the normal natural flush to her face had dissipated, leaving her looking dead. All of this coupled with the fact that she looked a little lighter than normal, made for a horrific sight as she worked in the lab that night.

Though nothing she was doing was any different than usual, checking all of the levels and readings for Grave and her charts, reporting the numbers in the most accurate fashion, and typing behavioural reports, something was clearly off.

Her movement were slower than normal, indecisive and clumsy, hands seeming to shake lightly as she moves around the lab, recording all the necessary findings. She was good at feigning that she was okay, she had been doing it all week to fool her co-workers, but now it was at a dangerous point.

Even Grave could see it now, watching Hannah form inside her cage as she works, processing the horrible outwards appearance as she looks down at the poor person, opening her mouth to speak in her own language of beeps and noises.

“-.-- --- ..- .----. .-. . / -. --- - / --- -.- .- -.-- .-.-.-” (You’re not okay.) Grave remarks bluntly as she looks down at Hannah, who glances up at her momentarily before returning to her work, though her expression darkened ever so slightly.

“I’m fine, just a little tired is all.” Hannah makes light, a forced laugh rolling off of her tongue. But it didn’t touch her face at all. Her lips lifted, but her eyes stayed dull and tired, the light in them seemingly faded and dimmed. She didn’t even believe herself.

“-.. .-. .. -. -.- / .-- .- - . .-. .-.-.- / --- .-. / .. .----. -- / -.-. .- .-.. .-.. .. -. --. / -.-- --- ..- / .- / -- . .- -. / -. .- -- . .-.-.-” (Drink water. Or I’m calling you a mean name.) Grave threatens the small person in front of her, though it doesn’t seem to do much. Another flick of her dull eyes in graves direction, though nothing was really behind them.

Another laugh is forcefully shoved out of Hannah’s chest once Grave speaks, it sounded gravely and forced, grating on Hannah’s ears.

“Oh yeah, what are you gonna call me?” She asks, smiling, though it looked so tired it was easier mistook for a grimace than anything remotely positive. Hannah knew her façade of normalcy was weaker than it had been all week, the tiredness, hunger and dehydration were catching up slightly, and she had to admit it. But she was too stubborn and worried to possibly drop the façade she had created, even if she knew her smiles no longer lit up her face as they once would.

“-.-- --- ..- .----. .-. . .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.-” (You’re…) Grave paused as she thought it over, softer beeps escaping her mouth as she mulled over finding the correct word to use to describe Hannah. “-.. . .... -.-- -.. .-. .- - . -.. -.-.-- -.-.-- -.-.--” (DEHYDRATED!!!) Grave exclaims, face melting into a smug smile, proud of her words. It almost made Hannah smile, almost. But she couldn’t anymore.

Hannah sighs, and it sounds broken, the air coming out in a fractured breath as she looks at Grave, the façade dropping slightly as she somehow manages to look even worse than before.

“You aren’t wrong, but I don’t have the time to get a drink, so I’ve just gotta deal with it.” She explains, though the words taste rightfully sour in her mouth.

This was a fucked up situation, Hannah was aware of this. But currently, there was nothing she could do to prevent it when both her and Iden’s jobs were on the line.  Companies in the business of capturing and studying cryptid creatures weren’t exactly in the business of treating staff fairly, especially lower down ones.

Without answering, she can see Grave sliding something out of her cage. Upon inspection, it seems she had managed to steal a water bottle from one of the fridges or another room and was currently sliding it to Hannah to drink.

A slightly genuine smile graces Hannah’s face at that, though she still looked tired and weak. She slowly reaches out and takes the bottle as she looks at Grave.

“You shouldn’t steal things from the fridges you know-” Hannah chastises lightly as she opens the water, taking a small sip, not wanting to irritate her currently very empty stomach by suddenly dumping water into it.

The water felt like a blessing as Hannah feels it travelling down her throat, soothing her dry voice box as she swallows, though the sensation of it dropping into her empty stomach was less than pleasant. Still, beggars cant be choosers, Hannah reminds herself as she takes a few more short drinks from the bottle.

“.... . .-. . / - .... . .. .-. / ..-. --- --- -.. / .. ... -.-.-- / .. - .----. ... / .-- .... .- - / - .... . -.-- / -.. . ... . .-. ...- . .-.-.-” (But its fun seeing the other people wonder where their food it! Its what they deserve.) Grave justifies, showing her distaste for the other scientists working at the facility, who treated her less than kindly.

Hannah sighs again, sounding more tired. While she understood Grave’s actions, she couldn’t help but worry over the possible consequences of said actions.

“That may by the case, but if you get caught, they could tranq you again…” Hannah explains, the agitation she was feeling worsening slightly. The other scientists often liked to tranquillise Grave when they worked with her, to keep her docile, and it stressed Hannah out.

“.. / -.- -. --- .-- / .-- .... . -. / - .... . -.-- .----. .-. . / --. --- -. . .-.-.- / .. / .-. . -- . -- -... . .-. / - .... . / ... -.-. .... . -.. ..- .-.. . ... / ...- . .-. -.-- / .-- . .-.. .-.. .-.-.-” (I know when they’re gone, I remember the schedules very well.) Grave reminds Hannah, though that does little to quell the stress inside of her. She had been on edge and stressed all week, and it was no different now. She looks at Grave quietly, her voice low when she speaks.

“I know, just… please don’t risk it. If anything happens to you because of me…” Hannah doesn’t finish the sentence, not wanting to think on the matter any more. Seeing Grave on tranquillisers was a punch I the gut everytime, to see her eyes so unfocused and her words so unhinged and sluggish was something she never wanted to experience again if she could help it.

“... .-.. . . .--. -.-.-- / -. --- .-- -.-.-- / --. . - / .. -. / ..-. ..- .-. -.-.--” (Sleep! Now! Get in fur!) Grave’s simple demands were clear and precise for Hannah, she clearly could see they were tired, but Hannah sighs. The amount of work she had left to do, sleep was out of the question for today and maybe even tomorrow until Iden could come back in and balance the workload between them again.

Another painfully fake smile appears on Hannah’s face, looking abnormal and twisted.

“Cant, got work to finish, and if I don’t, nothing good is gonna happen.” She explains simply, though the urge to just give up and accept the potential firing they would receive was almost too much for her. Grave’s fur would no doubt be soft and comfortable, but the risk was too high for Hannah.

Sad and annoyed beeps and noises are coming from the large cryptid in the cage, each one making Hannah feel a little guiltier as she listens to them, the worry clearer with each noise.

She could feel her body starting to involuntarily shake as the weight of all her issues came crashing down on her. The tiredness, hunger, dehydration and just general overworking starting to press onto her.

A few more distressed beeps and some small noises from the cameras observing them in the room tell Hannah that Grave has remotely shut off all the cameras. Before she can say anything to Grave, the large cryptid is leaving her cage and storming towards her.

“Grave, what are you ding?! Please, please, I have to get this done!” Hannah pleads as the cryptid approaches her. But Graves eyes are hard, and she isn’t listening.

“-.-- --- ..- / -. . . -.. / - --- / . .- - / .- -. -.. / ... .-.. . . .--. .-.-.-” (You need to eat and sleep.) Is all Grave says as she Picks Hannah up in a swift motion, making Hannah’s head spin and become light-headed as her vision cuts out for a few seconds, before she tries one last time to plead, worry overtaking her.

“But, but-” Hannah tries, though she doesn’t know what to say at this point. Her head is swimming in fuzziness and her ears are ringing as Grave carries her gently in her arms.

“-. --- / -... ..- - ... -.-.--” (No buts!) Grave warns as she carries Hannah softly, Hannah sinking into her fur slightly. But the words sound a bit more distorted than usual, fading in and out of Hannah’s hearing as she tries to listen.

“Nnnnnn.” Hannah would like to speak, but her head is swimming and reality seems to be out of touch, and all she can do is make a sound to try to convey that she doesn’t feel right.

Grave slows down slightly as she walks Hannah in the direction of the kitchen, not wanting to jostle her too much, instead opting to take bigger steps to speed up progress in a better manner, focused on getting Hannah to the kitchen to eat something before forcing her to fucking sleep.

Hannah can feel the shift in momentum, but her brain is swimming too much for her to acknowledge it or really recognise what is currently happening, her body giving up completely on keeping up her façade and allowing everything to sink into her and affect her immensely now.

The noises she can hear slightly shift as Grave presumably enters the kitchen, her padded bear like feet gently thumping on the tiled floor as she moves.

Gently, more gentle than you would ever assume she could be, Grave sets Hannah on the counter in the kitchen, where Hannah proceeds to lie down, not trusting her own ability to sit up in the state she’s in.

Grave carefully moves around the kitchen that is much smaller than her, finding a big container of soup in one of the cupboards she opts to give to Hannah, as she figures the small human may be too exhausted to actually chew food.

She carefully puts it in the microwave and sets it all up, waiting anxiously as it heats up, the seconds feeling like hours as she worries about her small friend.

Hannah tries to stay awake as Grave heats it up, not wanting to cause any more stress to her than she already has, her eyes heavy and tired as she watches the microwave spin.

When the microwave stops, Grave almost pulls the entire door off in her eagerness to get the soup out of it. She gently grabs the soup and finds a spoon in the kitchen before attempting to give some to Hannah.

Before remembering Hannah is currently lying down. Grave lightly pushes Hannah into a sitting position with her hand, holding her there with it as she begins to spoon soup into her mouth.

Hannah leans heavily into Grave’s hand as she uses all her energy to accept the food and swallow. The soup runs hot and uncomfortable down her throat, but she can feel the vacant feeling in her stomach beginning to leave as the empty space is filled with the hot soup.

The existing panic in Grave rises slightly seeing how much Hannah is relying on her to stay up and eat right now, and she bites her tongue. It wasn’t bad enough to start making upset noises, but it might get that way soon.

Hannah’s stomach had shrunk from not eating all week, and some weight had dropped off of her, making her short stature look even smaller than it was. It didn’t take long before the soup lost its welcoming feeling, starting to make her stomach twist with something else, making her panic slightly at the thought of throwing up in her state.

Not much food has been eaten before Hannah’s stomach was concerning her too much, and the very real possibility of being sick was closing in.

“Nnnnnnnnnnnnnn” This was all the noise Hannah could make to try to signify to Grave to stop trying to feed her anymore, before there were serious consequences.

Grave seems to listen, as she moves the spoon away and puts it down, concern written on her features.

“-.-- . ... ..--..” (Yes?) She questions, looking down at Hannah in concern. Hannah uses the remaining strength she has to move her head a tiny bit, forming a tiny shaking of her head as she looks up at Grave.

‘Nnnnnnnnn.” She tries to talk, but nothing but noise can come out, and she can only hope Grave understands.

“-. --- / -- --- .-. . .-.-.- / --- -.- .- -.-- .-.-.-” (No more. Okay.) Grave nods and Hannah lets out a small sigh and naturally leans into Graves hand more, her energy all gone, leaving her feeling more tired than words can describe.

“... .-.. . . .--. .-.-.-” (Sleep.) Is all Grave says as she moves her off the counter gently, carrying her again and letting her sink into her fur. Hannah’s worries still plague her mind, causing her to whine.

Grave only repeats the same word with a little more fire behind it, making Hannah huff as she realises she’s lost the battle, allowing her eyes to close and her body to relax into Grave, falling asleep almost immediately, her breathing evening out to be slow and shallow, making Grave very happy.

Grave goes back into her cage, holding Hannah as she sleeps through the rest of the shift, through to the morning, when other workers can be heard filtering in the doors.

Grave hears the door to her lab open and backs into the corner of her cage, pretending to sleep, as if she hadn’t been watching over Hannah the entire night.

She hears Iden enter the room, finally feeling better from his flu. He almost immediately notices them and walks over, taking in his twins pallid, tired and thinner appearance.

He lowers his voice to a whisper as he speaks, though the fury he feels at seeing his twin like this is not contained well.

“I know you’re awake, you wanna tell me what’s been going on while I was off?” He directs the whispered question at Grave.

“... .... . / -. . . -.. . -.. / ..-. --- --- -.. / .- -. -.. / .-- .- - . .-. / .- -. -.. / .-. . ... - .-.-.- / ... .... . / --. --- - / .. - / .- .-.. .-.. .-.-.-” (She needed food and water and rest. She got it all.) Grave says bluntly, opening their many eyes to look back at Iden, Hannah dead to the world in their arms. Iden narrows his eyes, visibly angry.

“They’ve been overworking her, huh?” He asks, slight venom in his voice as he speaks, flicking his eyes towards the door of the lab.

“-.-- . ... .-.-.-” (Yes.) The word is blunt and harsh off of Grave’s tongue, causing Iden to sigh in response.

“Those bastards, they knew she wouldn’t say no…” He frowns and pinches the bridge of his nose. “Thank you for looking after her and forcing her to eat and sleep.” He adds, looking at Grave in appreciation.

Iden sits in front of the cage that Grave is inside, fed up already with his ridiculous co-workers, and ready to murder all of them if he was honest, he didn’t understand how they could have allowed Hannah to do this to herself.

Grave smiles at Iden, her wide array of teeth showing, making Iden automatically smile back at her genuine expression.

 After a not-so-civilised talk with his higher ups, and a threat to throw hands, Iden managed to convince them to half the hours they worked when working alone, so this could never happen again to his twin, all the while Grave was watching over the small human carefully, making sure they were safe.

Phoenix Protocol 03

A Zavala x Female Guardian work.

Summary: When the Traveler’s Light was returned to the Guardians after the defeat of the Cabal, it did not manifest itself the same in everyone. Miyu, an Awoken Warlock, finds herself struggling with her abilities, her Light feeling different and not her own. With her Vanguard preoccupied with grief and all eyes turned to the Reef, she finds herself turning to an unlikely source in an attempt to rediscover her connection to the Light and define what it means for her as a Dawnblade.

Previously

A voice bellows her name, puncturing her concentration in such a way that it feels like coming up for air. “Miyu!”

She knows that voice, she realizes. It’s the Commander.

When the realization fully processes and she realizes she doesn't know how long he's been watching, her head rockets up, the rift and solar fire dissipate immediately. Her hands fall to her sides, covered thankfully by her sleeves. She can feel the tingling prickle of numbness that indicates she’s burned herself severely, despite the rift. She sighs and straightens from her throwing stance.

Zavala jumps down from the spectating balcony dressed in a cotton training tunic and lacking most of his armor, with the exception of his mark. It flaps quietly as he lands on the ground in the arena, knees easily accepting the impact of the fall. He runs toward her, concern evident in the brightness of his eyes and set of his jaw.

“What were you doing?” He stands before her now. “I heard a scream.”

“Oh,” The Warlock sighs. “Sorry, Commander. Something hurt more than I thought it would. I didn’t mean to-” She looks down at his sweat-soaked training gear in surprise. She had expected to be the only one here, today of all days. “-disturb you from your drills?”

The Vanguard Commander nods and she notices his slightly heavier breathing.  “It’s fine. You are unharmed?”

“I’m fine,” She agrees.

Ghost hangs nearby, his optic narrowing on her in concern. Zavala looks up at him in turn, and the small being hovers backward, clearly caught. “You are not,” The Vanguard says quietly, “Are you?” His scrutiny is unbearable.

She moves to tuck her arms behind her back, to mimic the pose he usually takes, when he looks over the City from his post in the Tower. If she can get them behind her back, he -

Zavala grabs her left forearm with his right hand. Miyu hisses. His brows raise, eyes narrowing as he turns her palm over and peels back the sleeve of her robe. He gasps. Blistered, bubbling skin, pink and red and black, weeping and angry meets the light of day.

“How did-”

She snatches her arm from his grasp, ignoring the watering of her eyes. “I’m very sorry for interrupting you,” She repeats quietly. “My Ghost will heal me. It’s fine.” She turns her back to him, looks to her partner, and takes several steps before breaking into a run. It’s clear she does not want Zavala to follow her.

The Commander does anyway, taking measured, calm steps, her Ghost at his side, looking fretful. “Miyu is having difficulty with her Light, I’m sure you’ve noticed,” The little Light explains. “After the war… it - we didn’t,” He doesn’t know how to explain it and finally sighs. “It’s different now.”

The duo finds the Warlock braced over one of the sinks in the empty locker room, robe discarded carelessly on the ground, using her right hand - the less burned one - to splash water on her face. Being so pale in complexion, the redness of her eyes and cheeks immediately drew attention to the chaotic swirling of white aura beneath her normally equally light skin.

“Miyu,” Both Titan and Ghost say, before looking at each other in curious surprise. Zavala blinks, but lets her Ghost take the floor.

Ghost speaks. “Miyu, let me heal you,” He calls gently. “That has to hurt.” She cradles the damaged arm against her chest, her undershirt already soaked with sweat and water turning pink with plasma and blood on contact. Her eyes dart to him, and he turns to the Commander. “Give us a moment,” The Ghost implores. “Please.”

Zavala nods and retreats back into the hallway.

Pale light casts a shadow of his hulking form against the stone floor when her Ghost shucks his shell and swathes her in the glow. The Commander hears the combined sigh of Ghost and Guardian, and a quiet metallic gargle when the Ghost speaks to her. “It’s okay,” He’s telling her. Zavala feels a touch rude for listening in, though there’s no way for him to tune them out in the echoing, empty halls. “He’s worried, not mad. Just… talk to him, okay? Maybe he can help.”

Ghost transmats her soiled training robe away for a softer one. Her skin stayed sensitive afterward, sometimes - the Light not healing it all, not really, and he was always mindful of her needs. She held her hand out for him to rest when she exits the locker room, and Ghost drops to her hand - accepting an affectionate nudge of her fingers against his cones - before disappearing in a shower of sparks.

“Your Ghost cares about you a great deal,” Zavala says, echoing previous words. He does not make eye contact, like she’s expecting. She’s not sure if she’s grateful or feels like she’s being treated like a caged animal. “He said you have been experiencing difficulties with your Light, since the War.”

She nods her agreement, looking sheepish. “Both of those things are true.”

This time, he does meet her pale gaze. “Have you talked to Ikora about it? Certainly she’d be willing to help you.”

Miyu looks away, and shrugs. “I’ll do that,” She says, but his eyes don’t leave her face, staying trained on it - reading it - despite the fact that she’s looking at the ground.

“You have, haven’t you,” He intones, gently. “You’ve talked to her about this.”

The sideways pull of her lips in a disapproving frown is a giveaway. “Maybe once or twice,” She admits. Certainly more than that, but she’s not in the business of putting down her Vanguard.

“Does she not listen?”

“She doesn’t understand,” Miyu finally says, a bit more abruptly than she’d planned to. “She doesn’t understand how my Light can be so different from what it was before. I don’t think I’m supposed to use it in the way the Dawnblades do. Not anymore.” A peek up at his face reveals pensive concern, not condemnation. It spurs her onward. “She believes pushing me into the worst situations possible will help me to reconnect. But-”

“That is a terrible idea,” Zavala says, mostly to himself. He looks up at her in surprise, as if he can’t believe he’s said it out loud, but then admits, “While the Light may very well react if you feel threatened, if it does not, the cost…” He trails off, looks back at her, contemplative. The conflicted look on her face tells him that she’s thought of that, as well.

Miyu leans back against the wall, crossing her arms. “How does a Titan - a Sentinel,” She specifies, asking, “Call upon their Ward of Dawn?”

His brows furrow. “Not that I mind,” He holds out both hands as if demonstrating that her question is not unwelcome, “But what does this have to do with our conversation?”

The Awoken Warlock steps past him, looks down the hall to the empty training arena. “I believe that my Light might be better served in a more defensive manner. That perhaps my rift might hold the key.”

Rubbing a hand against his chin, Zavala thinks it over. “Your research,” He recalls. “You are trying to unlock a different type of ability.”

She nods, a little twinge of a smile here and gone when she faces him again. He understood her immediately, and yet Ikora… she didn’t seem to understand despite Miyu’s attempts at being transparent. “I think I might be able to use my Light, specifically, maybe to not hurt myself, or at least let it last longer, if I try something different. Something with a focus on healing. Protecting.” She reaches up for her ashen black hair, combs her fingers through some of the tangles. “After all, isn’t that our purpose? To protect? If I want to reconnect to my Light, I think that might be the way to do it.”

He still gives her Vanguard the benefit of the doubt, saying, “Certainly Ikora would be interested in-”

Miyu shakes her head and Zavala stops short. “Maybe it will change, but…” She shrugs. “She wants me in the Reef. Up until today, I think she wanted me to help find Uldren.” Zavala doesn’t react to the name, though Miyu watches him carefully. “I don’t want anything to do with that.”

“What do you want?” Zavala asks her. Not judgmental. Neutral. Perhaps curious, just a little.

“I want to feel like me again. I want to prevent what happened - what the Cabal did,” Her fists clench. “I don’t ever want it to happen to us, ever again.” She sighs. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to unload on you. I know Ghost said you’d hear me out, but this - it isn’t your problem.”

“No,” He agrees. “But perhaps I can help. I’ll show you how my power manifests, and let you determine if the Ward of Dawn could assist you in your search for answers. However, we cannot do it now. My schedule is-”

The apology stumbles from her lips as she realizes how much of his valuable time she’s taken. He was trying to train, too. “Oh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t-”

“Stop apologizing, Miyu. It is not your fault I am the Vanguard Commander.” This time, his lips do almost make it to what would be considered a smile, and his tone is nearly teasing. “I lead the Titans in drills most mornings, before dawn, in the training facilities here. You’re welcome to come spectate, if it will help. The schedule should be posted.”

She bows, pressing her hands together. “Thank you,” She chimes. “I appreciate it.”

“I hope you find what you are looking for,” He replies, and his hand finds his way to her shoulder, a gentle squeeze. An affirmation that someone beyond her Ghost might actually care. It makes her flush. “I cannot imagine…”

“It’s difficult,” Miyu admits, voice quiet. “I don’t know if it was because I was in the middle of casting Dawnblade when the Traveler was captured and the Light was ripped from us,” The words are a whisper that she’s not shared with anyone besides Ghost, who was there. “But it feels like it’s all there, you know?” He doesn’t, she knows, but he doesn’t interrupt. She sees the uncomfortable shift in his stance, knows that from his perspective she’s describing something horrific he never hopes to experience. “I can feel the Light there, to be called upon. It just… won’t come out all the way.” She shrugs. “Anyway,” She transitions, not paying attention to the brilliant eyes that soften as they listen to her resolve, “There has to be a reason. I’ll figure it out and persevere. That’s what we do.”

-/

That evening, when she finishes up her late patrols and checks in, Kadi, the postmaster, has a message for her. The frame produces two books, old ones. Tucked within the cover of the first one is a small note, written on thick ivory paper with neat handwriting.

She doesn’t need to know his handwriting to know it’s from him, the two symbols denoting her name in its proper, original form tipping her off. Pre-Collapse Japanese, he’d said, when he learned her name. It brings a smile to her lips. He seemed like the kind of man who would know about languages, how to read and write them. She found herself curious as to what he’d write her, after their encounter earlier in the afternoon.

実優

Perhaps these texts would prove useful. I am not sure how the translation would be made between the Void and Solar energies as they are very different, but it might be worth a read.

I will be focusing on training my new Sentinels in two days’ time, at the place and time we discussed. Afterward, I anticipate being free long enough to answer your questions, should you have any.

-Zavala

--

Ghost looked down at the paper, then back up at her face and the pleasant surprise he sees there. “See,” He says, “What did I tell you, Yu-mi? He might be able to help. At the very least, he wants to.”

Miyu smiles. “Yes,” She agrees, cradling the books to her chest and letting Ghost rest atop them as they head home for the night. “You never steer me wrong.”

[redefiningthirtysomething]

I’m going going, back back to AZ AZ

2 years ago we were living in Phoenix, Arizona. It was the best decision we made for our family and we thought things would be amazing. I am born and raised in Los Angeles, CA but life in LA was too busy, always working, Bella was growing up and life was just to expensive. I was looking for something else, something slower. I was tired of trying to keep up with work, my friends, family,... it all was very overwhelming.

We packed up our SUV and put our LA life away and drove 8 hours with our baby girl (she was 7).

We arrived so excited, ready for our new life, full of expectations. We planned this months in advance, we saved money, we prepared our friends and jobs. We had going away parties and tears. We arrived to our home, a 3 bedroom, hard wood floor, made for us house. We celebrated over drinks on our first night and experienced our first monsoon in our first week, It was spectacular. I had never seen anything like it. After settling in and introducing ourselves to the neighborhood I landed a job at a local hospice and Eli resumed his stay-at-home-dad job during the day and a night job he got at a local facility. I worked 3 days on, 4 days off 12 hour shifts. Bella was going to a great school right across the park, we would literally walk her over, drop her off and have a morning workout, followed by our breakfast, some morning sex and Eli then was off to sleep to be ready for his night job. We were living in a beautiful big home in a quiet neighborhood with a nice yard for Bella, fireplace, we had a cat and a Kitchen island I absolutely loved. My Master bedroom was bigger than the size of our entire LA apartment and my closet space, sigh... why did we ever leave? ... well, here's what happened.

We made plans to live there for life, but we only lasted six months. I got a job a few weeks after we moved in, we were living off of our savings and we were  planning our next career moves. The Job I got was good, but it paid very low and yes, I know that is expected in AZ the wages are less than in CA, what I made in CA was an unreasonable wage in AZ and they clearly told me this during my interview. But I thought, well ok I can figure this out as we go. The bills or the first month were a little outrageous. We moved to AZ in August ... need I say more? It was HOT AF so we had the AC unit on all day and all night long at a cool 71. Although some locals told us how to maintain a low electricity bill during the summer, we had NO IDEA how serious they were and didn't quite listen to their advice! It cant be that bad right ? wow, $600 for a month? A MONTH? That's not even including any of the other bills. that was the electricity ALONE! It knocked me out of my shoes. Ok, so the bills became an issue but we got a handle on it the best we could, but we were definitely in a strict budget.

A few months after we moved in my sister and her GF were having a hard time in LA and we agreed to help them out and let them live with us in AZ, we had an extra room and it would help us with the bills, plus it would be nice to have family around since we still hadn't made any new friends. It was good for a while but turned ugly really quick. I don't like to talk shit about people, but the GF has a nasty attitude and she's just an overall toxic person, I kind of see her as a bully who cried wolf. Awful, awful. Unfortunately my sister doesn't see it and they always think it's everyone else. I mean if she's happy with that, it's on her but like I've said before, leave us out of your negativity. Anyway, things got heated one night, she yelled at my daughter and insulted Eli, and I had to defend my family. After a screaming match, and an almost full on throw down in my kitchen I kicked them out. They moved to Tempe and my sister and I stopped talking. Cause of course, we attacked her, so they say. I have never in my life been in a fight and i'm so non confrontational... but apparently that night big bad me was in attack mode. Such silliness.

At this point, we're broke AF, we have no friends and my sister lives 20 miles away and doesn't talk to us. Ugh, Great start. Seriously the only good part for us about AZ was the happiness Bella had. She made so many friends on our street, she ruled that street basically. This girl was never home, she was always outside riding her bike or her scooter, or playing in someones yard, at the park ... she loved it. Sleep overs at out house, she had her room which we decorated to her style, her own bathroom...she loved it. I cant even begin to explain how good we had it. Bella was in her happy place.  Isn't this what we moved for? We completely lost sight of it. Eli and I were arguing a little bit, we were kind of just annoyed at life and we took it out on each other. Bella was getting stressed out because she hates to see us bicker, she tried to help us make up a few times. We don't like to put that on her, so we would make up, but a week later we were both back to not giving AF. We made things work, but there was a tension.

A little after Christmas we found out I was pregnant, 2 weeks pregnant to be exact and that very same day I found out I was pregnant I received a call from my boss at my old job in LA that they needed me to come back and that they would give me a raise. We looked at each other and it was like a weight lifted off our shoulders, we didn't even think about it before saying yes. We packed our shit and were gone by the weekend. We dipped out SO fast, we like ran back to LA ... what we thought was the best decision. Boy... were we wrong.

We moved in with Eli's parents, we were broke and didn't have money or time to find a new place. I started back at work that upcoming Monday and we had to get situated ASAP. work, yes, work was great. I went back and they started me at a great rate and It was like I never left. I still had my status of 10 years and accumulated my PTO, benefits as if I never left. So grateful that they thought well enough of me to ask me back. Bella went back to her old elementary school and things went back to Normal. Months went by and I'm super pregnant. We decided to stay at his parents house during the pregnancy because I didn't want to add anymore stress.  I have come to realize that I don't like living with other people other than Eli and my girls. People have something to say about something and always give opinions. whatever, I stay at work or in my room most of the time anyway. But, that's not how I wanted to live. Soon after I had Olivia, Elijah went to work so that I can spend time with the baby and bond. 4 weeks in a was stir crazy and made him quit his job and I went back to work. That's his family we live with and I am not comfortable, I don't feel like I can just go make breakfast and lounge around, not that I cant but it's a me thing. I don't like having to tell people where I am going if I'm leaving the house. I have always been very independent and I am easily annoyed when I don't have my freedom. plus, hey we pay rent ... I don't really have to explain my life ... but I cant be rude you know, so I bite my tongue.

We live in a trendy area of LA filled with hipsters, bars and restaurants .... and also very high rent. A 1 bedroom small apartment on the low end will cost you somewhere along 1900 month. jeez. We haven't been able to move out or find a decent price. We almost decided to buy a home but they're at 1 million for a little house. Bella has her room, a small room ... literally half the size of her AZ bedroom and she cant play outside , we live on a busy street and with the mentally ill/homeless that hang around the area doesn't make it safe. So she spends most of here time inside unless we go somewhere. Olive sleeps with us, we co-sleep, we did with Bella too, but soon I am going to have to transition her to her own room, plus she's about ready to crawl but we don't have space! Another thing is things have changed here. I don't see any of my friends, they don't have kids so they're out traveling and brunching. Things that I can't do right now. I haven't seen them at all to be honest, maybe once since I've been back from AZ. Olivia is 8 months now. Management at work changed, we have a new director and things are so different from the company I once knew. My sister eventually moved back to LA and I made peace with them, I wanted to have my sister in my life and things were good until recently. The GF strikes again, but with my mom! that's another story for another day. so, yet again my sister thinks its everyone else, except her GF. Also, I don't have a relationship with my little sister, but we will get into her in another blog.

I am a total mom and my focus is 100% on my kids and my family. I didn't know this until I had them.. obviously. I used to be all about me, going out, working and living my life. everything changed. everything. I live for my kids, I love them so much and my ultimate goal in my life is to make sure they are taken care of. why the fuck did we leave Arizona? Because we had no friends? I want to slap myself sometimes. were we bored? who fucking cares? Bella was happy! We could have made it work. We could have but we ran and took the easy way out. Eli and I sat down one day and we were trying to figure out our next move. we need to grow and make changes to better us as a family. We asked ourselves where is our happy place? where are our kids going to be happy?

The move back to AZ is in July. YES! we are so excited and thrilled. This time we see things differently. this time we know what to expect , we know the summers are harsh and we know the job market, we know that we only have each other out there... and that's OK! I am going to start an online business which I am currently working on. Eli will be the one working and I will stay home with bebe. It's NOT about us anymore. The house is set and ready for us we just gotta pack and go. By the way, we have a family house in AZ. It's my moms and she rents it out, but she lets us (her daughters, family) stay there and it's currently without renters. She knew I would go back. She knows that we have to make sacrifices for our kids sometimes. I don't feel that I am sacrificing this time.

I have faith and we love adventure.

Warnings: language and slight sexual implications

Italics are what the professor says in someones head

-A couple days later le time skip-

“Ugh I hated that me, you, and Kurt had class today plus Alex was in training all day and nobody was with her.” Jessie complains to Peter as they start walking towards the med bay to visit with Stacie.

“They even had my schedule so packed that I didn’t even had time to run down and see her even with my super speed.” Peter says clearly annoyed with the situation. “I don’t think my schedule has ever been that busy. I seriously don’t know why they had me doing so much extra crap today.”

“Right like what the heck are they thinking. I mean I know she’s in a coma and all but I still want to make sure one of us is with her like as much as possible.” Jessie continues as the door to the med bay slides open. “Huh shouldn’t Hank or someone be down here keeping an eye on her vital signs or whatever?”

“Hey guys long time no see.” Wade exclaims from his spot on an empty bed, around a mouthful of blueberry lollipop.

There was a short moment of silence where Jessie and Peter looked around the room for Stacie, quickly noticing that she was nowhere to be seen and that Wade was in fact sitting on the bed that previously belonged to Stacie.

And then Jessie exploded. “Where is she?!” Jessie screeches. “What happened to her?! What is going on!?” Jessie rants not taking a breath grabbing a box sitting on the counter and throwing it a Wade’s face, knocking Wade backwards off the bed he was occupying.

“Jessie, hey Jessie calm down. Give him a second to answer.” Peter says grabbing Jessie and holding her back from launching herself at Wade.

“Yeah calm down it's not nice to go around throwing stuff and breaking peoples lollies.” Wade whines like a small child.

“Rampage!” Jessie says as she hurls a large snowball at Wade hitting him in the stomach.

“Look all I know is that Iron Sides, Furball and Crotchy Grandpa put on her on The Blackbird and took off! I don’t know where they went!” He wheezed.

“Stop talking nonsense Wilson and just tell me where they took her.” Jessie yells at him not noticing Colossus slip into the room.

“Возьми этот кекс.” (Here take this cupcake.) Collosus extended his hand to Jessie.

She looked up at Colossus. Her face softened. “There isn’t a cupcake.”

“I read on the intranet that you should give an angry person imaginary cupcake.”

“That has to be like the worst advice solution thing ever.”

“Maybe but you are not angry anymore дорогая.” (dear.)

“I…well…well played big guy well played.” Jessie says.

“Wait does everyone know Russian besides me because I am completely confused.” Wade asks, looking back and forth between everyone.

“Da.” Everyone responds.

“Well fuck you I don’t want to be in your club anyways.” Wade says getting up. “I’m gonna go back and hang with the Avengers maybe see what Petey’s up to.”

“No, you can not right now.” Colossus says grabbing Wade by the arm as he tries to leave.

“Why not I wanna see my Petey.” Wade says annoyed.

“Um… because you cant.” He says jerking his head towards Jessie and Peter very obviously. “We are down three staff members and we need all the help we can get.” Colossus says unconvincingly.

“Um.. what was that? You don’t want the readers to know that Stacie was taken to the Avengers training facility in Upstate New York just off U.S. route 20 at 555 Lantern Lane, Syracuse, New York 13204. Oh that’s right you guys aren’t supposed to find out for a couple more pages, when she’s actually getting healed by the machine thingy that healed Hawkeye in Age of Ultron after he got shot in the side. Man I kinda miss that archer. I’m going to have to look him up and see if he wants to hang. Ok well I won’t tell them that for sure now.” Wade says while Collosus stares at him in disbelief. “Shit was that out loud.” He says before looking over to where Jessie and Peter had just been standing moments before. “Oh oops.” Wade says shrugging his shoulders.

Collosus sighs grabbing his phone before dialing the professor’s number, Charles answered after the second ring. “Um…sir the thing you said that Wade would do well yeah he let them know where you all are. And they disappeared probably on their way with Kurt, and more than likely Alex. Sorry.”

“Ok we will bring them back when we are done here just please keep an eye on the rest of the students and let the other teachers know where they are.” The Professor says before hanging up. Looking at the others in the room the Professor sighs before approaching them. “It seems that we will be having a few more visitors shortly.”

“Wait you told more people about this place it supposed to be a secret.” Tony says annoyed. “I’m sorry Mr. Stark, but it seems like our mutual friend Wade let the location slip to a few of our students.” The Professor starts to explain.

“Mutual! Mutual my ass, he isn’t allowed anywhere near here. Ever since the pancake incident.” Tony stomped his foot and pouted.

Ana stepped forward. “Actually the pancake incident was my fault. I wanted pancakes.”

“Ermergerd. Hank seriously? I dyed my hair blue to match you. And you have brown hair.” Lucine announced her entrance into the med bay.

“Yeah sure. Just everyone come in here. It’s not like anything is happening in here or anything.” Tony said exasperated.

“Lucine your hair is always blue.” Ana rolled her eyes.

“Hersh up Solana.”

Hank embraced Lucine. “Well I had to make a new batch of suppressants and what better way to test it than on myself. And I realize how horrible that sounds now that I’m saying it out loud. Why am I still talking out loud?”

“Wait up Lucine.” Steve says as he walks in the room behind his wife. “Oh so sorry we didn’t mean to interrupt.”

“Um, speak for yourself Steve. I live to interrupt Tony plus Hank and the Professor are here and I haven’t seen them in forever.” Lucine whines.

“You saw me two months ago.” Hank starts before Lucine presses her finger to his mouth.

“Shhh Shhh Hank that’s forever in my time.”

“Anyway, it is an honor to meet you sir.” Steve says shaking the Professors hand.

“And you too Captain I’ve heard many a great things about you” The Professor says with a nod and a smile.

Logan coughed making his presence known to the rest of the room. “I’m here too ya know.”

Lucine groaned. “Yes we are all aware of your presence Mr. Howlett, we are however choosing to ignore it while you skulk around in the corner.”

He growled and crossed the room to Lucine in two strides. “Lucine.”

She straightened herself up and glared up at him. “Logan.”

“Ana!” Solana jumped in between the pair, trying to lighten the mood.

Unprompted and in unison the pair replied. “Not now Ana. Mommy and Daddy are fighting.”

Solana looked confused. “I’m older than you Lucine. Why are you my Mom? And why is Logan my Dad?” Downtrodden she left the pair alone.

BAMF! In a blue puff of smoke Jessie, Kurt, and Alex appear in the room, shortly followed by a silver blur that was Peter. “Ha Peter I told you Kurt was faster.” Jessie says laughing at Peter before following his gaze to where the rest of the occupants were staring at the four of them. “Oh um Hi.” Jessie says waving to a confused Tony Stark. “Um… sorry to interrupt but we are looking for our friend who was kidnapped from her hospital bed without notifying her next of kin aka me.” She says before pointing to herself.

Peter looks over at her. “Wait what about me am I not her next of kin?” Peter asks.

“No Peter I am. You are just her, unofficially official not boyfriend but totally her boyfriend, and I thought you knew that already.”

“Can you not do that right now.” Hank says from his place next to the Professor and Steve.

“Who are you to tell us what to do?” Jessie says rudely, then turns to Peter. “Doesn’t he sound a bit like Hank.”

“Well…” Peter starts, before being interrupted.

“Oh my god it is Hank!” Jessie exclaims.

“HA! I’m not the only one who gets confused when you’re not blue Hank!” Lucine points in his direction while maintaining eye contact with Logan. Jessie followed the sound of an unfamiliar voice and saw a petite blue haired girl locked in an intense stare with Logan. Anger bubbled in Jessie’s throat. She clenched her fists.

“We are sorry for not telling you but we did plan on letting you know once we had gotten her back to the mansion.” Hank says, drawing Jessie’s attention back to the conversation at hand.

“I get that y’all are helping but you can’t just take her away from me without telling me…” Jessie trails off starting to tear up. She’s all I have left. She angrily rubbed at her eyes.

I am truly sorry Jessica. I can assure you this was not the plan. We had planned on taking Stacie while you were in class and unfortunately we ran behind on our schedule.

“Ok what is going on right now who are these kids?” Tony asks confusedly looking to the Professor for answers.

“First of all, Mr. Stark these students are all over the age of eighteen and secondly these are the guests I told you about.” The Professor answered Stark’s question. “Won’t you introduce yourself to our gracious host please students.”

“Hey, I’m Peter Maximoff, I’m awkward and I run fast.”

“Alex”

“I am Kurt Wagner, also known as the incredible nightcrawler.”

There was a silence as Jessie failed to introduce herself. She stared intently at Logan and the girl.

“Miss Baise, won’t you introduce yourself, please.” The Professor asks drawing her attention.

“What oh yeah…” Jessie turned back to Stark after her attention had again been diverted towards Logan and the blue haired girl. “My name is Jessie I have control over icy things.”

“Ana can I have a hand please?” Bruce’s voice suddenly came through over the intercom.

“Of course Bruce! Apparently Mommy and Daddy are fighting and I don’t know why.” She scurried towards the back of the med bay.

After a few moments Bruce and Ana emerged from another room in the med bay pushing a gurney. Jessie shoved Peter backwards as she rushed over to her friend.

“Are you really that selfish?” Peter asked from the floor. Jessie shot back a glare at him. She wiggled her fingers and some ice appeared under Peter, hindering his ability to stand up.

“Everything went swimmingly.” Bruce stated to the crowd that had appeared in the med bay.

“Excellent.” The Professor said. “Now we can take Miss Barcus back to the mansion with us and begin to take her off of the pentobarbital.”

Beside Jessie, Stacie started to twitch on the gurney. “Uh.” Jessie shook her head. Maybe she had just imagined it. Stacie twitched again. “Okay so that’s definitely happening.” Jessie quickly turned towards the Professor who was talking with Tony and Bruce with Hank. “Professor? Hank? Logan?”

Jessie quickly ducked as she heard metal rattling behind her. A chair immediately flew over her head and shattered the window immediately to Tony’s right.

“What the hell was that?” Tony screeched cowering behind Steve.

“Her suppressants are wearing off.” Hank excused himself from the small group and injected a small syringe full of yellowish liquid into the IV on Stacie’s arm. “We should be good now.” Hank helped Jessie off the floor.

“SHE DID IT ON PURPOSE!” Tony yelled.

“TONY. SHE IS IN A COMA!” Bruce yells mirroring Tony’s emotion level.

“Thank you very much Mr. Stark for allowing us to use your Regeneration Cradle.” Hank says rolling Stacie over to the group with Jessie’s help.

“I am truly sorry about your window Mr. Stark. You can add that to our bill if you so wish. However for now we should be on our way.” The professor says as he holds his hand out to shake Starks. Stark just stood there staring between the window and Stacie.

“Don’t worry about the window Charles.” Bruce starts as he shakes his hand instead of Tony. “We just hope that she gets better soon.”

*“Thank you Bruce, we will keep you updated on how she progresses.” Charles turns his attention towards the students. “Peter, Alex, Kurt, and Jessie. Please follow Hank to the Blackbird. We will be leaving shortly.”

“But Professor-”

“Miss Baise we will be leaving soon now that our objective here is complete.”

There will be no further discussion on the subject.

Jessie sighed as Alex grabbed her arm and forced her to follow.

“Are you two just going to keep staring at each other?” Steve sighed looking at the pair. “I’m going to take that as a yes.”

“Ugh just leave your wife to her drama, and go help Bruce clean up the med bay why don’t you.” Tony says as he stares at the broken window. “While I go and try to find someone that can get a window made and delivered asap.” He sighs before walking out of the room.

“Alright Bruce lets go then since Tony is apparently in control of this situation.” Steve says as he and Bruce head through the doors to the back of the med bay.

Ana wormed her way in between Logan and Lucine. She poked Lucine in the face. Lucine didn’t flinch. After a few more pokes and prods Ana reluctantly gave up. “Screw this. I’m going to go bug Sam. He was making cookies earlier. And I’m going to eat all of them so you can’t have any!” Ana stuck her tongue out at Lucine before making her way to the elevator.

“I know you two want to have your chat.” Charles turned towards Logan and Lucine. “And normally I wouldn’t mind however, we do have students with us, so please make it as short as possible.” Charles turned his chair around and wheeled himself towards the jet. Where everyone was starting to load into the jet.

“Is he always that bossy?” Lucine asks cracking her neck.

“Eh you get used to him.” Logan grumbles. “Now go ahead and say it.”

“Say what?” She asks.

“Look I’ve known you long enough I know you have something to say.”

“What?! I have no clue what you are talking about Logan.” Lucine says sarcastically.

He narrowed his eyes. “Lucine.” He growled.

She threw her hands up exasperated. “How old is she?”

“Stacie’s 19.”

“The other one. The one who gave me frostbite.” She pulled down the shoulder of her shirt. Her shoulder was turning a light blueish gray.

“Are you fucking kidding me! You didn’t even flinch! How are you okay?” Logan placed his hand on her shoulder trying to warm it up.

Lucine laughed. “I grew up with Ana. She made Steve cry on our first date because she slapped him. Like Solana made Captain America cry.”

“Shit. I didn’t know she hit that hard.”

Lucine snapped her fingers in his face. “Oh no. Oh no no no. You will not be deterring this conversation. How old is Jessie?”

“She’s 19 too.”

“Oh thank God. She’s legal.”

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Jessie peered around the corner of the med bay.

Lucine chuckled. “Logan Logan Logan. I’ve gotten those bedroom eyes from you enough. I know that damn look. Or as Ana puts it the chocolate cake look.”

“Because you love chocolate cake.” Logan rolled his eyes.

“God I love you.” Lucine wrapped her arm around his waist.

Logan kissed the top of her head. “I love you too kid.”

Jessie. You are supposed to be on the plane.

She jumped. “Professor. I was just uh yeah.”

“Come on Jessie. Logan and Lucine are old friends.”

“I wasn’t…It’s not like I care I mean.” Jessie stutters out.

“Sure you don’t, now come on they will be along shortly. Let’s get you buckled up in the Blackbird.” Charles says as he starts to lead Jessie back to the plane.

“Hold on Professor. I have to tie my shoe.” Jessie bent down and pretended to tie her shoes while watching.

“Take care of yourself kid.”

“You too old man.”

Logan laughed. “And you never complained about that before when I made you co-”

Lucine cut him off by placing a quick kiss on his lips. “Shut up James.”

He rubbed his lips. “I hate that you do that platonically.”

She wiggled her left hand in front of his face. “You don’t get non-platonically anymore.” She slapped his butt. “Now get moving sweetcheeks. You gotta plane to catch.”

“Yeah yeah yeah.” He made his way to the Blackbird. There was only one open seat next to Jessie. Logan sat down and buckled himself in. Jessie immediately stood up and sat on Alex’s lap. Alex sighed and unbuckled himself. Jessie buckled herself into Alex’s now vacant seat.

She saw you kiss Lucine. She’s upset.

Slave to the Game(A Jack the Ripper Story): Chapter 4

Word Count: 4900+

Warnings: Graphic depiction of violence(the murder), Murder, Mild language, Implied rape

Here’s our master list for the next chapters, and if you want more!

~~~~~~~~~~

I’ve read plenty of crime novels in my youth, stealing moments at night to read The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allen Poe, The Rector of Veilbye by Steen Steensen Blicher or A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The one thing that is never actually discussed in these books is how dull and painstakingly long the interrogation process is - person after person going through the police department giving us nothing more than extra paperwork. To only give the department some gray hairs and the need to pull all nighters at the morgue.

In addition to the long nights, there was one other thing that seemed to cause my accelerated aging. The police station had recently had an accident in their crime lab, making it unusable, so they elected our morgue to do assist in the investigations. This means my alone space is constantly violated by the same three policemen, and each of them having an air of disapproval surrounding them. That not only means I don’t have my space, but my space is being filled with bigoted men who don’t think women deserve to be in the workforce, especially those of a higher class like myself. Bigoted men who think they know my lab better than I do. Bigoted men who clearly don’t deserve to be in law enforcement because they are idiots who don’t know how anything works.

“Are you sure that goes there?” a voice said from behind me.

“I’m pretty sure I am doing this right.” I said coldly as I was pushed aside from my work table by Mr. Arnold James. I mean seriously, even his name sounds bigoted, “I have worked here for nearly 3 years now, and I was practically raised here as my father owned this facility before he passed.”

Having elected to ignore me, he pushed aside the evidence that I had been working on, and replaced it with almost an identical piece of evidence then proceeded to use the tool wrong. I threw my hands up in the air and walked out of the morgue in defeat.

“Miss Bellaus! I thought you’d be working!” Archer exclaimed as I walked into his office area, where he was filing the reports to send to the police department. Don’t get me wrong, I still don’t trust him but I would rather be with someone who might be on the wrong side than those who <i>are</i> on the wrong side. Even if they are two completely unrelated topics.

“Can we kick them out. Please. Let them do things wrong at a different morgue. I cannot stand another moment of their bigoted...ness.” Archer chuckled at my comment.

“I wish, but if we don’t let them use our morgue then we will not be allowed to continue working on the Leather Apron murders and we really can’t have that happen.” I gave him an inquisitive look, “...with the murders being connected to your relationship with Jessamine? Now, how about you get back in there and show those bigots who’s the boss around here.” I grimaced at the thought but walked out of his office towards the morgue anyways. As I stepped down the stairs back to where the bigoted men resided, I couldn’t help but feel that something was off about that conversation.

“Oh, look! The little girl is back again.” Mr. Arnold James exclaimed and I nearly punched him in the nose right then and there.

“For one, my name is Miss Bellaus not little girl.” He looked indignant at the apparent disrespect I was showing him, but I barreled on, “Number two, you are doing that wrong. If you look at the piece of evidence I was examining and compare it with yours, you’ll see my subject will show quite a bit more of what you are looking for. Your subject, while it is bigger, it has less blood on it, while if you look at mine you can see a much larger amount of blood on it, allowing me to have an easier time of collecting the sample and twice as much evidence. Though that is not where your mistakes began. The first mistake was believing that everything I did was wrong and proceeding to re-do every experiment I had already completed only because I am a woman.”

Shock rose on their face and Mr. Arnold James looked ready to explode, his face turning more red than the crimson dress I was wearing, “Did you think I wouldn’t notice? I am quite a bit more observant than any of you pigs are,” I spat. “Which is why while you weren’t looking, I went back and replaced it with my specimen once again because you had even been using the microscope wrong while completing your experiment. I mean, how hard is it to use a microscope anyways??” I exclaimed.

I turned to the other two men in the room, having finished tearing Mr. James Arnold a new one. “Number three, you two have not been using gloves the entire process so there is a good chance that if I had used that evidence for a testimony in court it would be disbanded because we would’ve been accused of tampering with it. Now, if you would be so kind and start actually doing this right then maybe we'll get along or I am going to kick you out and have Mr. Clay report you to the chief of police for insubordination towards the head of the morgue.”

They didn’t bother me for the rest of the time they were there. I’m pretty sure they had asked Archer for my schedule of when I would and wouldn’t be there because I actually never saw them again. The only evidence that they hadn’t ran away completely was the crumbs of food left on the work tables. Which goes to show their incompetence once more.

Another highlight is that after my outburst whenever I walked into the police station to bring a report that Archer or I had filled, it’d get very quiet and the men would nearly jump out of my way to let me pass

That being quite a happy improvement, especially since Archer and I were present for many of the interrogations involved with the Leather Apron case. Although, all interrogations we were present for had quite similar results since most of them were only questioning the witnesses, not actually interrogating suspects. They all had the same thing to say about what they saw the night of the murders. The prostitute was seen entering her apartment with a young person, most likely a boy. The young boy wasn’t seen leaving the apartment but the next time someone went to find her, she was dead. Giving us absolutely nothing to go on. Then the police would find a lead from the thousands of letters sent into the police station, follow it, arrest someone and release the suspect within three hours because the police found they had a rock solid alibi.

Then came one letter. At first, it was just set aside as some person trying to rile up the police but then they sent it down to my lab for examination. They did this with every letter they got. They were trying to see if anything useful could come of it. Nothing ever did. They were all fakes and I could easily pull some fingerprints, which if the Leather Apron was as smart as we all thought, I wouldn’t be able to find any incriminating evidence. I also never read them, it would take up time that I really didn’t have. I don’t think the police read these letters either. Although, this letter was spotless. No fingerprints. No stains. Not even a spec of dirt that I could try to trace. Absolutely nothing. So I did read this letter.

Dear Boss,

I keep on hearing the police have caught me but they wont fix me just yet. I have laughed when they look so clever and talk about being on the right track. That joke about Leather Apron gave me real fits.

I am down on whores and I shant quit ripping them till I do get buckled. Grand work the last job was. I gave the lady no time to squeal. How can they catch me now. I love my work and want to start again. You will soon hear of me with my funny little games. I saved some of the proper red stuff in a ginger beer bottle over the last job to write with but it went thick like glue and I cant use it. Red ink is fit enough I hope

ha. ha.

The next job I do I shall clip the ladys ears off and send to the police officers just for jolly wouldn't you. Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work, then give it out straight.

My knife's so nice and sharp I want to get to work right away if I get a chance. Good Luck.

Yours truly

Jack the Ripper

Dont mind me giving the trade name

PS Wasnt good enough to post this before I got all the red ink off my hands curse it No luck yet. They say I'm a doctor now. ha ha

The letter slipped out of my hands and a thud echoed in the room as my back hit the wall. I clasped my hands against my mouth as a scream threatened to escape. It wasn’t even the fact that this letter was possibly the real thing but something about it felt familiar. But I had no idea what. My first instinct was to call out for Archer but if he was apart of this somehow then what would he do if I showed him this letter? Try to destroy it? If I left it here and he found it, would it disappear like that piece of cloth did? The letter did say to keep it until something else happened but should I even be listening to whoever wrote this letter? Was anything in this letter even valid? My train of thought was interrupted by a familiar voice.

“Hey Miss Bellaus, can you look over-” Archer’s voice abruptly stopped as his eyes fell upon me. He dropped the papers he had in his hands and rushed over to me. “What happened? Did something happen to Jessamine?” I shook my head.

“No. Nothing’s happened to Jessamine.”

“Well then what’s wrong?” he exclaimed.

“One of the letters the police sent to us just... caught me off-guard. It felt too real but I don’t think it’s gonna be anything to worry about.” I responded.

“You sure?” I nodded again. “Alright then.” Disbelief shone from his eyes but if I was truly in shock, I wouldn’t be in the best state of mind, right? “I just wanted you to look over a report I had written out for the police about the heart attack victim we had yesterday.” he said, changing the topic.

“Right. Sure.” I walked numbly over to the table where he had set the report. “What did you want me to look for?”

“Just double check I had everything right. It’s just been a hectic few weeks so I haven’t been completely focusing on wording.” I read over it and handed it to him.

“That seems fine.”

“Right. Thank you Miss Bellaus.” and after a few seconds, “Are you sure you’re alright?”

“Yes I’m absolutely fine.” I said sharply, “I’m just going to finish up testing a couple more letters before I head out.”

“Okay. See you tomorrow.” I nodded as he walked away. He paused and turned his head, “You know you can always talk to me. Right?” I smiled at him tersely. I took a deep breath and released it when he finally disappeared through the door. I don’t think our conversations have ever been like this. Even when we first met, our conversations flowed without any weirdness about it. I felt my shoulders slump with frustration. I really do hope he has nothing to do with the Leather Apron, or I guess Jack the Ripper now, because then once this is all over we can go back to how everything was before. Which would be nice. I sighed once again and walked back over to where I had dropped the letter. I slipped on some gloves - no point in contaminating it even more right? - and started looking it over again.

I wasn’t exactly lying when I told Archer I would be going over letters before I left. It just wouldn’t be letters, only one. I examined it and began writing down every little thing about it, the color of the ink, the material of the paper the letter was written on, the possible utensils used, really anything that could give me a lead on who wrote this. By the time I had finished, nothing stayed undocumented. That just left me with one thing. What to do with the report and letter. Logically, I should leave it here and file it away because that’s what would have done before all of this but every warning bell goes off in my head when I think that because if Archer is involved, then leaving this for him to find would possibly be catastrophic. So if I didn’t leave it here, where would I put it? My house? Where any of my servants or mom could find it? I do have a locked drawer where I keep all of my work related stuff, but that doesn’t mean someone could still get in. Though my room is the only place Archer wouldn’t go because even a serial killer has to follow proper manners in this era. My eyes flickered over the letter as I pondered what to do.

“I’ll bring it home with me.” I decided aloud. I slipped the letter and report into my handbag and made my way to the door. The carriage ride passed with little incident and by the time I got home it was almost dusk. I had decided to stop at a little sweet shop, I felt deserved something tasty.

“Good Evening Miss Bellaus, are you up for some dinner?” One of my maids, Elizabeth asked. I smiled sweetly as her,

“That would be amazing. Thank you Elizabeth.” She smiled at me and I walked to my room. I took the key that hung behind my dresses and opened up my drawer, sliding the letter and report in. Now I guess I just wait.

September 30th

I shuffled my legs beneath the covers before rolling onto my back. Sharp pain ran through my body and I shot up into a sitting position. I cursed under my breath as I twisted my arm around to my back and ran my fingers across. A hiss of pain escaped my lips as my fingers ran across already scabbing scrapes. What the hell. I rolled out of bed, stumbling as I hit the ground. I stripped off my nightgown and twisted to look at the scrapes on my back. I stared in horror at the reflection. Calling them scrapes was an understatement. They were more like gashes running in long streaks across my back. They resembled the kind of marks that were left on Jessamine’s back after one of the nights we had spent together, only a more extreme version. They were deep and they were colored a dark red, implying that whoever had given them me was in extreme pain...or in immense pleasure. I paused at the thought, <i>What happened to me last night. And why can I not remember.</i> I broke out of my train of thought as I heard footsteps approaching the door.

“Miss Bellaus? Do you need any help? I heard crashing.” One of my maids, Grace, asked through the door. I closed my eyes in annoyance. She must’ve heard me getting out of bed.

“I’m fine, Grace. Thank you.” It was a few seconds before I heard her footsteps leading away from the door and I let out a breath. My breath was sucked back in as an idea came to me. I rushed to the door and ran to catch up to Grace, not caring if the door slammed.

“Actually, Grace!” I reached her side, “I do have one question.” She dipped her head, allowing me to continue, “Do you know when I left the house last night and about what time I got back? If so, do you know where I was headed?”

“You only left the house for a short while, Miss, then you came straight back with a friend. But don’t worry, I won’t tell your mother.” she said with a small smile.

“No, no. I don’t worry about that. I can’t remember,” I spoke in a small whisper, my fear getting the better of me.

“I don’t understand, Miss. You don’t remember a single thing from last night?” I shook my head and I felt panic sweeping across me. Why don’t I remember anything? I have three gashes on my back. Surely I would have to remember getting those.

“Did I leave the house after I came back with the friend?” I asked, trying to get a better picture of what might’ve happened. Grace nodded,

“About two hours later when I was tending to the fireplace, you and your friend snuck out. I assumed you were going out to a pub or something. I don’t think you saw me. Then as I was heading to bed just a little after one in the morning, you came back to the house. I couldn’t see much as the lamps were all out, but you were staggering like you had been hurt. I went to bed shortly after that; I wouldn’t know if you snuck out again after that.”

My heart plummeted. I went out twice last night maybe more. Both of which I had a friend with me. Both of which I couldn’t remember a single second of. Grace seems to think that the friend I had with me was… but I would never cheat on Jessamine. At least… I had thought I wouldn’t.

“Thank you Grace. That’s all for now.” I said, dismissing her. She looked reluctant to leave me alone but she walked away after a few seconds. How do I not remember any of it? It was obviously a rough night, with the deep gashes on my back and my staggering in last night. My hands involuntarily gripped my head, pulling harshly at my hair. Why don’t I remember it. I <i>should</i> remember it.

Memory flashes took over my thoughts in a second. Days where I could remember waking up but don’t remember actually falling asleep. Moments halfway through the day where I lost hours of time, moments where I thought I just had gotten lost in thought or in whatever I was doing. Moments where I was in the middle of making dinner but the next thing I remember was getting ready to go to bed. Full nights missing and if I thought hard enough I would be able to line them up perfectly with the last two murders.

I let out a strangled cry. What the hell is happening to me. Filled with panic, I fumbled through my closet for something that I could get on easily. I tore off one of my dresses off the hook and put it on. I fumbled with my brush on the desk and the letter from Jack the Ripper floated to the ground. With shaking hands I lifted it up and suddenly I knew why it felt so familiar. I shook my head in panic. No No No No No. It can’t be. My hands blundered on my desk as I looked for something with Archer’s handwriting. With trembling hands I compared them.

They didn’t match.

I gasped in relief, my eyes filling with unshed tears. But why does this letter still spark recognition? There is no reason I should still feel this way towards the letter. I felt my chest start to constrict as I felt the now familiar symptoms of panic start to settle in.

In the throes of my panic, I shoved my feet into a pair of shoes, not even caring if it looked presentable and rushed out of my room. I almost crashed into Grace but I rushed past her, ignoring her cries of worry. I let my instinct lead me and I honestly had no idea where I was going, but the path I took felt eerily familiar. Only I did not remember ever going down this street. But that’s the problem, is it not? I can’t remember. How many days or nights have gone by that I don’t remember.

The scene that I came upon was swarming with policemen. I pushed my way through into the scene of the crime, bile rose in my throat and I could not push it down this time. I reached a wastebasket just in time as I retched. Her ears were missing. Just as the letter from Jack the Ripper said.

“Miss, you can’t be in here.” A policeman said with worry. I shook my head.

“I’m with the police department, head of the Morgue involved with the Jack the Ripper case.”

“Jack the Ripper, eh? Fancy new name you got there.” he replied cockily.

“It works better.” I whispered as I walked back over to the body. “What’s her name?”

“Catherine Eddowes.” I nodded and surveyed the body. From first glance her face had been mutilated, her throat severed, and a giant jagged wound in her abdomen. As I stepped closer I could tell that her kidneys and uterus had been removed, just like the last victims. Only in Eddowes case, the mutilations to her body were way worse than the others. Just like the last victims, I knew she would look similar the Jessamine even though I couldn’t actually see her features anymore. “We actually found a first body, just a few blocks from here. Although we don’t know if it is is connected to, what is it..Jack the Ripper?”

“Two murders?” I choked out in horror. The policeman nodded,

“The only thing we don’t know is if she is connected. Only her throat had been slashed. No wound in the abdomen, like the previous two and Eddowes.”

“Do you have a picture?” I asked, my voice a little stronger now.

“Of course.” He called over to a man with a camera and the man walked over. “I need the picture from Elizabeth Stride’s crime scene.”

“Did you just say...Elizabeth Stride?” I blurted out. The policeman sent an inquisitive look to me,

“Yes, why? Do you know her?” The man with the camera pulled a picture out of Elizabeth Stride.

“She is...was one of my maids. She’s usually the one that checks on me in mornings so that the kitchen maids can start with breakfast if I am up but...it was a different maid this morning. I mean I would normally notice if one of my maids are missing but...I wasn’t in the best mindset this morning.”

“That’s a start. We’ll need you to come in at some point for some questioning. You aren’t in trouble, but we need to know everything about Miss Stride. Do you know anything about Miss Eddowes here?” I shook my head reluctantly,

“Only that she looks like one of my friends Jessamine, as have the other two but I have already told the police this.”

“Thank you for all your help.”

“Much obliged. I will send in a report of Eddowes later today, same with Stride.”

“Thank you. I will call a carriage for you to head over to the crime scene.”

“I will not need one. I need to go somewhere first before I go see Miss Stride.” I walked out of the room as proudly as I could but the moment I got out of view from the scene I broke into a run with a destination in mind.

Robert James Lees. The clairvoyant Archer and I had run into almost three weeks ago, after we went to the first Whitechapel Vigilance meeting. I got to the edge of his street and paused. Do I really want to do this? Sink this low? I took a deep breath and walked the rest of the way there. I only hesitated briefly before knocking on the door. I saw a quick flash of someone looking into the peephole before it disappeared again.

“Miss Bellaus. I’m surprised to see you here.” he said, opening the door just enough so his face could look out. He was obviously opposed to letting me in.

“I need your help. I’m...forgetting things. Huge blocks of time.” I could still sense hesitancy, and I shared much further than I wanted to, “Time missing over the nights of the Jack the Ripper murders.” His eyes widened at the last phrase.

“Come on in.” He opened the door wider to let me in and as I walked through I felt a sense of finality as the door clicked shut behind me.

“I was hoping you would be able...maybe bring back up past memories or something. Or I don’t know, talk to the victims….I just need to do something.”

“Follow me.” he told me, leading me in his sitting room. “Now you need to know something Miss Bellaus, I cannot actually bring back memories for you. That is something you need to figure out how to do yourself. The one thing I can do is give you some insight for why you are having these blackouts.” He gestured for me to sit down, and as I did he walked over to a cabinet, opened it and pulled out a letter. “This is something I received from your father. Shortly before his passing.” He held it out to me and tears welled up in my eyes as I recognized my father’s handwriting.

Dear Mr. Lees,

I am sending this letter in hopes that you will be able to someday help my daughter understand. I know she will come into contact with what I am to share with you, and I wish you will share this when she asks about certain things.

There is a drug. Commonly known as the Devil's Breath but she will know it as Scopolamine.

I let out a sobbed breath as I read the last line. Scopolamine is a drug that if used correctly, can quite literally take the free will of any victim but if used another way, would be seriously addictive.

I became addicted to it after an unfortunate accident with the chemical. I never realized the effects until later. Major blackouts. Periods where I would make dinner and not remember eating it. Going to bed but not remember waking up. I don’t know what I did in the duration where I was on this drug.

I eventually rid myself of this illness but I never truly recovered. I still had frequent blackouts even after I stopped taking the drug and I began to notice not only my memory was affected, my physical health began to decline as well. I guess that is why I am on my deathbed now.

My daughter did come in contact with it once, but I quickly steered her away from it but even once can be the downfall of anyone.

One reason I am writing this letter is someone who had become like a son to me had taken an interest. One of my students wanted to do a research paper on it, I tried steering him away from it as well but once he had his mind set on something, he never let it go. I took this student under my wing in hopes of putting this mind of his to something useful, maybe one day taking over my morgue and in league with my daughter, I knew they could do anything if they had each other. Though every once in awhile I would find him back at his old reports with one of those wretched white flowers in front of him scribbling away and I knew I didn’t try hard enough. I only hope he doesn’t go any further with his research. Clay really did achieve anything he put his mind to.

I gasped at the revelation. Clay. Like Archer Clay. But a wave of doubt ran through me, Archer had never mentioned he knew my father, let alone having had him as a mentor or father figure. It couldn’t possibly be my Clay.

I wrote this letter with a second reason. To warn my daughter of the possibility Clay never stopped his research.

Don’t show her this, or let her know this letter even exists if she never asks. But if she comes to you with worries of blackouts, please show her this. I just want her to be safe.

Sincerely,

Thaddeus Bellaus

P.S. I love you my dear Dinah Fae. Always live with love in your heart.

“Thank you for showing me this, Lees.” I told James with a sob, clutching the letter tightly against my chest, holding onto one of the last things my father made.

“Oh my dear. I wish you had never shown up on my doorstep and I wish I never had to give you that letter.” he murmured.

“Me too.” I whispered.

“Now be on your way. I’ve done all that your father wished me too. I hope you find your way in this mess.” he replied. I smiled sadly at him and dipped my head to him before walking out the door with the letter held tightly in my hand. I have some work to do.

Can I force insurance to pay for rental car if they take too long to make a decision after assessment?

First off I am in CA and the other liable insurance is Farmers or 21st century. For some reason Farmers is handling the claim. Ok, so I was in an accident in which the other party was at fault. As such their insurance has accepted liability. I have already taken my car get an assessment by one of their representatives at a repair place. But do to their stupidity in a few instances, its taking a long time for them to make a decision as to repair my car or call it a total loss. So because of that, in the mean time I am forced to drive my car which I do not feel comfortable driving in. The passanger seat belt doesn't work so I can't commute to school like I usually do. Bottom line is a have been patient when they did their investigation and everything, but its been a while now and my car is still not even in a shop to get fixed. In order to maybe speed up the process and make me feel safer, can I just get a rental car already force the other insurance to pay? After all they are completely liable since it was their driver that was at fault. Why do I have to wait day after day, driving a ruined car, while they take their sweet time making their BS decisions? I know that they legally have to pay for a rental while my car gets repaired, but again they are taking time simply deciding if its a loss or not. So because of them, its not in a shop just yet...., but can I still get a rental car early and have them pay anyway? Maybe that will make em hurry up.""

Would my auto insurance increase if I hit a careless pedestrian jaywalking on a private property?

Would my auto insurance increase if I hit a careless pedestrian jaywalking on a private property? Here are the case facts: - 1. Pedestrian was hit by my car while crossing a road located within a private property (a community college) in Brampton, Ontario (Canada) 2. I was in no position to clearly see the pedestrian in advance as the pedestrian suddenly appeared from behind the huge pile of snow on the side of the road. The pedestrian was walking from the parking lot and came onto the road from a blind spot. 3. I was driving at 30kms/hrs and saw the pedestrian just before I hit the pedestrian. 4. The pedestrian was NOT using the designated pedestrian crosswalk but was jaywalking on the road in attempt to cross the road. 5. I applied brakes as soon as I saw the pedestrian on my way but the pedestrian got hit by the time finished applying the breaks. I think my car came in contact with the pedestrian when the car had almost stopped possibly causing the minimum impact. Pedestrian seemed to be all right (not injured) but was slightly in pain due to the hit as my car hit her in the thigh. She did not fall down and was still able to walk (but was crying due to the shock) 6. I called 911 (both cops and ambulance) and they didnt charge me with offence. 7. The Police Officer concluded that it was not my fault after he confirmed with the witnesses that I actually tried to stop the car and that the pedestrian was jaywalking and not using the pedestrian walk for cross the road. The cop mentioned that I would have been charged if I were not driving on a private property. The building security also concluded that I was not at fault. 8. The police accident report makes no mention of my fault. 9. The paramedics concluded that pedestrian was not injured and was all right but they took her to the hospital anyway (for check up since the pedestrian seemed to have some pain in the thigh) My question is  Although, I was not ticketed or charged, would MY INSURANCE GO UP? I have heard that Insurance companies are notorious and would hold you responsible anyways or may hold you partially at fault?""

I have insurance for a car I had for 6 days. The insurance co. says it's a total loss. They gave me a value?

Audatex is not kelly blue book they look at craigslist & not the dealer. Craigslist sometimes has cars where a mechanic might not catch it but is damaged. The price I paid is higher due to getting sick & credit went down so I had to go to a local dealer with higher interest. They want the insurance check plus $1700.00 & interest. So I will pay for this thing for over 1 1/2 years. I had it 6 days when some crazy driver almost hit me I turned & hit a wall. The insurance company says I loose my good driver discount.

Should I pay my car insurance premium?

I purchased a car for my daughter last August and paid the annual premium. In November the insurance company said I cancelled her coverage and they issued me a refund for the remainder of the policy year (thru July). I didn't know what the refund was for, but deposited the check anyway. I don't know what I did to cancel coverage (for just this vehicle, all my other vehicles remain covered.) I don't dispute that I must have done something.... In April I found out I didn't have coverage for this car by my accidentally calling the insurance company about another question. I asked for them to reinstate the coverage immediately. They did and sent me a bill for the full amount of the refund, plus another $176. I feel I should only pay insurance for the remaining two months on this year's policy since, if I would have had an accident, the insurance company would not have covered me. They say they can't charge me for just the remaining two months, but that they have to bill me the full amount (plus what's with the additional $176 charge?) I'm thinking that I should just go to another insurance company and get the car covered. Any thoughts?""

""Car accident, insurance coverage, process?""

I had an accident with another car on the highway, road condition was icy. I traveled with 46-50 miles/hour, kept the car in my lane, followed the cars with normal distance. The other car - one lane or two lanes to the right of me hit an icy spot and crashed into the right side of my car at the door and partially the right fender. I had no damage in the front side of my car, but the front of the other car is damaged substantially. First she admitted that she hit an icy spot, but gave the police another untrue statement about the accident. No tickets were issued by the police. We both have full insurance coverage. The damages on both cars clearly indicates, that her spinning car caused the crash. I already contacted my insurance company. Is there a chance that the insurance companies will be able to work this out and her insurance company will pay for the repair on both cars? Therefore, I will not have to pay my deductible amount? Can the ins. co. override her statement if the independent investigation indicates that her car caused the accident ? Thanks for your answer.""

Do you know of any auto insurance companies that don't base your rates on your credit report?

Due to an illness/ disability in our family, despite having health insurance, we still owe thousands in medical bills. Those that would not work with us turned them into collection. They now show on our credit report. Despite being insured for both our auto insurance and our home insurance for 20+ year with the same insurance company, we got a notice saying our auto insurance had gone up hundreds of dollars per year based on a credit report they obtained. We have never had an accident, ticket, etc. and the amount automatically comes out of our checking each month. Plus, last year, prior to this, they switched us to a preferred group within the company and gave us a discount when we threatened to switch. How can I find out which insurance companies base your insurance rates on your credit report and or score? Will they tell you outright? This is the first I have ever known that our company did this and was wondering if all of them do it, or do you just know about it when you get a notice like we did? I get their reasoning but it seems like such a rip off when so many are in our boat- insured but with insurance that is starting to pay less and less and cost more. Plus, they have our checking account and if we were not to pay, they wouldn't be responsible for us if we had an accident anyway. Seems like a double whammy to me. Can anyone help?""

His deductible? Or $0 (since I am not fixing mine)? 2. Would my insurance rate will go up even though I have a clean, no at-fault, claim for at least 10 years? 3. Is this settle on our own legal?

Why can you 16 years old own cars in America?

Hello, So when I'm watching MTV or whatever television program here in the Netherlands I'm noticing that so many 16 year old drive a car. But where do you guys get the money from? Because a really crappy cheap car cost about 1000 euro's and than you need to pay a 390 euro (507 dollars) a month. I'm 16 too and with my 40 hours of work in a month I make 200 euro (260 dollars), so I can't afford a car now. (at least not paying every single month 390 euros) Nevertheless in the Netherlands you must be 18 years old to drive a car, but even when I'm 18 I think I won't make a 390 euro a month (only for my car). So do your parents pay? Don't you have to pay taxes or whatever? Thanks. David Calculation: Cheap car = 1000 euro Good cheap car = 3000 euro Average insurance 18 year old = 100 euro a month Can't find translation but road taxes = 80 euro a month cost of maintance = 80 euro a month Average driving 1000km a month with 7/100L = 70 * 1,80= 126 euro We pay 1.80 euro a liter (benzine) = 1 gallon = 3,8L = 6,84 euro's = 8,9 dollar per gallon so: 390 euro = 507 dollars a month""

‘I can’t breathe!’ A nursing home patient called for help. His nurse left him on the floor.

New Post has been published on https://usnewsaggregator.com/i-cant-breathe-a-nursing-home-patient-called-for-help-his-nurse-left-him-on-the-floor/

‘I can’t breathe!’ A nursing home patient called for help. His nurse left him on the floor.

The cries began shortly before 5 a.m., echoing down the almost empty corridors of United Medical Center’s nursing home. From his bed in Room 704, Warren Webb’s moans cohered into words: “Help! I can’t breathe!”

A registered nurse appeared and adjusted the height of his bed. But the nurse quickly began arguing with Webb’s wheelchair-bound roommate, who was pleading for her to do more to help. Webb rolled out of bed and landed on the floor, his diaper coming loose.

Webb, a 47-year-old AIDS patient, would lie on the floor in his own waste for approximately 20 minutes while his nurse quarreled with his roommate and then conversed with a security guard. When he was finally lifted back into bed, his caregivers could not find a pulse. Just after 6 a.m., he was pronounced dead.

Webb’s death on Aug. 25, reconstructed through a time-stamped audio recording of the incident obtained by The Washington Post and interviews with three eyewitnesses, is the latest in a string of troubling incidents at the District’s only public hospital.

[At the city’s only public hospital, consulting fees rise, along with trouble]

The Washington Post obtained audio of United Medical Center patient Warren Webb complaining that he couldn’t breathe. Webb rolled out of his bed and lay on the floor in a dirty diaper for about 20 minutes. Soon afterward he was pronounced dead of a heart attack. Editor’s note: This audio was edited for brevity. (The Washington Post)

UMC staff members do not appear to have followed what medical experts described as basic and potentially lifesaving protocols in their treatment of Webb immediately before his death.

In the aftermath, hospital officials fired one of the nurses involved but failed to report details of Webb’s case to regulators that would have triggered an outside investigation. Webb’s relatives say hospital staff members misled them about the events that preceded his death.

A spokeswoman for the D.C. Health Department said that the nursing home had filed an incident report concerning Webb — who, according to his death certificate, died after a heart attack — but that the report “did not contain any information that pointed towards injury, neglect or abuse.”

After learning new details about Webb’s death from The Post, the Health Department is launching an investigation, spokeswoman Jasmine Gossett said.

The Joint Commission, an accreditation body that visited UMC in September, was not aware of any patient-safety concerns related to Webb’s death, a spokeswoman said. She said the commission would now review the incident.

Hospital officials declined to answer detailed questions about Webb’s case but issued a statement asserting that the incident was handled properly.

“The matter was investigated and based on the findings, appropriate actions were taken,” the statement reads. “Timely notification to the appropriate regulatory and licensing bodies was provided and they are conducting their respective investigations. Due to resident/patient and employee privacy regulations, as well as the other ongoing investigations, we are not at liberty to discuss the matter further. However, we continue to cooperate fully.”

Questions about Webb’s death come as D.C. elected officials are intensifying their oversight of UMC, which is struggling with deteriorating finances and growing concerns about patient safety. Since last year, the city has been paying a politically connected consulting firm, Veritas of Washington, $300,000 a month to run the hospital.

Vincent Gray, a Ward 7 Democrat and chairman of the D.C. Council’s health committee, plans to hold a hearing Monday on whether UMC needs new management.

The city’s largest medical facility east of the Anacostia River, UMC has for decades drifted in and out of financial turmoil while serving its poor and predominantly African American patients in Southeast Washington and Prince George’s County, Md.

On Aug. 7, regulators closed the hospital’s nursery and delivery rooms after discovering dangerous medical errors in the treatment of pregnant women and newborns.

The Post reported last month that the consultants managing UMC had delivered about a tenth of the $9 million in extra revenue they had promised to generate even while collecting $5 million in taxpayer dollars.

Webb’s treatment and the handling of his death could revive allegations that have dogged hospital officials in recent months: that UMC staff is sometimes dismissive of or disrespectful to­ward patients and that hospital supervisors are slow to acknowledge and correct mistakes.

Webb’s father, Baye’ Webb, a 71-year-old resident of Lanham, Md., said nurses did not disclose key details when they explained his son’s death, such as his repeated cries for help or the extended period when he was left on the floor of his room.

“We totally felt like they were misleading us and the facts weren’t forthcoming,” he said. Of the new information about his son’s death, he said simply: “It’s agonizing.”

Warren Webb was born in the District and — although he spent some of his teenage years in South Carolina and as an adult lived in Georgia — always considered Washington his home.

A cinephile who organized movie nights at his apartment complex in Southeast Washington, he jokingly called his mother “Mommie Dearest,” a reference to the 1981 film that depicts actress Joan Crawford’s tortured relationship with her daughter.

That sense of humor helped him weather difficult stretches in his life, including his HIV infection, his diagnosis with a form of bipolar disorder and a period when he used crack cocaine, said his mother, Tujuana Bigelow, a resident of Glenarden, Md. In late July, he was admitted to UMC’s skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation after being diagnosed with a brain mass that caused strokelike symptoms.

Bigelow, a 66-year-old Prince George’s County school bus driver, said she visited her son almost every day. She quickly became alarmed by what she saw as his nurses’ inattentiveness.

When her son was admitted, she said, he could still walk to the bathroom. At UMC, they immediately put him in diapers. She said his nurses were slow to respond to the call button in his room and would sometimes leave him in a soiled diaper for hours on end.

“Nobody helped. Nobody cared. It was so sad,” Bigelow said.

After being notified of their son’s death on the morning of Aug. 25, Webb’s parents met with his caregivers at the UMC nursing home. Bigelow said they gave a halting explanation of what had happened: A nurse recounted that she “slid him to the floor to clean him up” after he had a bowel movement and then sent him to the emergency room when she noticed that he wasn’t breathing.

“What they were saying didn’t make any sense to me,” Bigelow said. “Why would you take a patient out of the bed and put him on the floor to change him?”

Bigelow said she suspected hospital officials were withholding information. “You could see it the way they were stumbling every time I asked a question,” she said.

A plea and an argument

Several hours earlier, Webb’s 58-year-old roommate, Gregory Gary, rolled up in his wheelchair to the nursing station on the hospital’s seventh floor.

At the nursing station, Gary asked Peter Offor, a licensed practical nurse, if he could send someone to change Webb’s diaper.

In an Aug. 31 written statement describing the incident to hospital officials, Offor said he sent Webb’s charge nurse to the patient’s room. In an interview, Offor identified the charge nurse as Christiana Ekwue.

Gary said in an interview that when he returned to the room the charge nurse was there, and Webb, who had become contorted on his bed, was complaining that he couldn’t breathe and calling for help to sit up.

Gary said the nurse pushed a button that dropped Webb’s mechanical hospital bed to its lowest setting. Webb then “rolled off the bed onto the floor with all the mess and stuff all over,” Gary said. “She didn’t give him any assistance to try to better the situation. She didn’t make no attempt to help him sit up to where it would allow him to breathe better.”

Ekwue repeatedly declined to discuss Webb’s death when reached by telephone but confirmed that she is still employed at UMC.

In the recording obtained by The Post, Webb can be heard crying out at least 25 times during a three-minute period that begins just before the nurse enters his room. Many of his cries are inchoate, but he clearly gasps out his complaint:

“I can’t breathe!” Webb says. “Help me up! Please!”

In the recording, Gary also urges the nurse to help Webb. “He can’t hardly breathe,” Gary says. His pleading grows more urgent as Webb rolls out of his bed. “You ain’t helping him!” Gary says. “You ain’t doing s—!”

“Mind your business,” Ekwue says on the tape.

Mary Uwemedimo, a certified nursing assistant, entered Webb’s room shortly after Ekwue. She said in an interview that when she arrived Webb was lying on the floor and that she placed some linens around him to soak up the urine and feces from his loosened diaper.

“I was shocked to see him lying on the floor,” said Uwemedimo, who later resigned for reasons she said were unrelated to Webb’s case. She said the charge nurse told her she had lowered the bed so Webb wouldn’t hurt himself if he fell off.

A security guard arrived — it is unclear whether he was making routine rounds or responding to a call about the argument — and spoke to Gary about his alleged hostility toward the nurse. He then spent several minutes at the nursing station talking with Ekwue and Offor.

About 5:10 a.m., Ekwue can be heard asking for help at the nursing station to lift Webb off the floor. Offor said in an interview that when he entered the room Webb did not appear to be in distress, but that after they lifted him back into bed, they could not find his pulse.

About 5:23 a.m., Offor can be heard in the recording calling for a “crash cart,” a mobile stand that carries emergency lifesaving equipment.

Offor and Uwemedimo said a night supervisor was called. In the recording, the supervisor — who is not identified — can be heard entering the room about 5:26 a.m., asking what happened and demanding a stretcher so Webb could be moved to the hospital’s emergency room.

A delay ensues, however, as Uwemedimo returns almost two minutes later and says she cannot find a stretcher. “Get one downstairs!” the supervisor orders in the recording.

Uwemedimo told The Post that the stretcher usually kept on the seventh floor of the hospital was not in its normal place and that she believed nurses from another floor had taken it. She said she went downstairs, got a stretcher and returned with it to Webb’s room.

Webb was pronounced dead in the emergency room at 6:01 a.m. His cause of death: a heart attack.

‘Minutes count’

Death certificates for low-income nursing home residents are notoriously imprecise, said Jonathan Evans, a Charlottesville specialist in geriatric medicine and past president of the American Medical Directors Association.

But if the principal listed cause of death for Webb — myocardial infarction, commonly called a heart attack — is correct, leaving him on the floor for an extended period could have affected his chances of survival, Evans said.

“If he had a heart attack, that time delay could have had a significant impact on whether he lived or not,” he said.

Tammy Slater, an acute-care nurse practitioner and instructor at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, said a complaint of shortness of breath from a ­nursing-home patient should trigger an immediate physical assessment, including measurements of heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure and blood-oxygen saturation.

“A quick, fast assessment — I’m talking minutes — should occur, because this patient could be having a life-altering scenario,” Slater said. Trouble breathing could be a sign of two potentially deadly conditions that require immediate treatment, Slater said: a heart attack or pulmonary embolism.

In both situations, she said, “minutes count.”

Slater said a patient rolling out of bed onto the floor — even if only a short distance — should also have been treated as a fall and triggered a prompt assessment for injuries.

It remains unclear what steps hospital officials took to investigate after Webb’s death. ­Uwemedimo said her supervisor asked her to provide a written statement about what happened on the morning Webb died but that nobody has interviewed her.

Offor was fired after Webb’s death. In a September letter explaining Offor’s termination that was obtained by The Post, nursing home administrator Stephen Gbenle wrote that “Warren Webb was yelling for help, saying ‘I can’t breathe’ ” and that Offor “did not get up from his seat to assist the resident.”

UMC Chief Nursing Officer Maribel Torres also filed a complaint against Offor with the District’s nursing board. It is unclear why Offor — who was the first person to realize the seriousness of his condition and attempt to save his life — was targeted for punishment.

Offor said that hospital officials “refused to carry out the corporate investigation” of Webb’s death that should have been performed and that nobody interviewed him about what happened before he was approached by The Post.

Gary left UMC in October to move into an apartment in Southeast Washington. He said that Gbenle approached him about a week after Webb’s death to discuss the incident but that he wasn’t feeling well and asked him to come back later. No one ever followed up, he said.

“You have some people who come here that’s compassionate about their job,” Gary said of the UMC nursing home. “And you have a lot of them come here that’s not.”

Chris, who has been on a leave of absence for a "vacation," called me so I visited his apartment. As soon as I walked into his room, he showed me a couple of pieces of paper.

Ever since that day, he has been fighting all by himself without rest, without even telling me.August 24th Chris left the town today to go to Europe.

Broken Ladder

Do you not know what to do with the hookshot on the train? Remember the broken ladder in the room where you first saw zombies. Use the hookshot there to get you on the roof. On the roof have Rebecca jump into a hole. Kill the zombie and get your briefcase key.

Easy Kill

When killing a monster be sure to find its weak spot and the best weapon to use against it. I’ll will list the weak spots I know and the weapon to use.

Zombie- The best spot is the head. I like to use the pistol on them because they're not that hard to kill (why waste your good bullets). Leeches- Don't even waste your bullets on them. Watch your partner, make sure he doesn't waste your bullets on them. Leech Men- It's best to run past them to if you can, but if that's not possible then use your molotvo cocktails. If you don't have any then shoot off his head so he can't see you or shoot off his arms so he can't hit you. If you hit him enough he will be nothing but a pair of legs. Thats when you run because he will blow up with in a few seconds. Spiders- Spiders aren't that hard to kill but, they are very sneaky. Watch the walls because thats where they usually are. Make sure they don't hit you with poison.I would suggest the shotgun. Insect Larva- They aren't that hard. You can sometimes hear them from a distance unless they're on the cieling. I would suggest the shotgun. Monkeys- Monkeys are very fast and hard to hit. Make sure they don't jump on your back. I like to use the Grenade Launcher. If not then the shotgun. Scorpions- They look big and hard, but the aren't. Aim at their head with the shotgun. Dogs- Dogs are fast and hard to hit but other than that they're pretty easy. I suggest the pistol. Skinless Beasts- They can be kind of difficult because of they're speed and power. I used the Grenade Launcher on them.

The Brakes Code For The Train (Only)

The code is quite simple if your stuck, then you come to the right place. There are then little dots, you have to fill each one out with a number or you can’t complete the code. When you reach the driver car have Rebecca stay and then have Billy go to where you got the hookshot, don’t forget the magnetic card. When you reach the place where you got the hookshot just insert the card and you’ll need a total to equal 81, then just insert 9 eight times then insert 3 twice that should equal 81. The next code with Rebecca will probably be 36 just select 3 nine times then just insert 9 then that should complete the code for the Brakes.

Leech Game

To unlock the mini game Leech Hunter, just beat the game once.
