When most people said they were on a run, it meant that they were getting some exercise. Or going to the store. Or maybe fleeing from enemies.

For you, a ‘run’ meant that you were out to tow a car from an illegal space. Honestly, it felt like fleeing from enemies sometimes, but that was only because the customers of your Uncle Bo’s tow service and impound lot didn’t want his product. Like any customer service job, you had your share of unpleasant interactions.

This particular one was an easy pickup. Some guy had parked on private property and the owners were having his car towed. Simple, quick, legal. Those were the best jobs, at least in your opinion. Bo tended to favor jobs where he could get a little extra for helping or inconveniencing the right people.

You didn’t need to pay attention to the familiar motions of placing the lift under the car’s front wheels. It was an older car with significant damage to the paint and body, so you didn’t have to worry that you and Bo would be sued for scratches or dents. In fact, there were good odds that the car had been abandoned on the property.

Still, you kept an eye on the surrounding neighborhood as you worked. This wasn’t a good part of the city. Just because you could take care of yourself in a nasty situation didn’t mean you wanted to get in one.

“Hold on, love,” an accented voice called. “That’s mine.”

You turned, already dreading the conversation. You had been helping your Uncle Bo long enough to not be cowed by many people, but that didn’t mean confrontations with angry vehicle owners were fun.

Fortunately, this vehicle owner - dark-haired and wearing a long coat - didn’t seem to be angry… yet. He also didn’t seem to need any input from you to keep the conversation going. “I’ll need you to lower my car back down. I’m on official business. Agent Butcher, CIA.”

The skepticism was clear on your face, you were sure of it. “Do you have some kind of identification?”

His eyebrows lifted, but not in disbelief. No, it was like he took your words as a challenge, one that he relished. He fished inside his black leather duster and retrieved a wallet. He flashed a shining badge at you, making sure you could see the identification card displayed in the opposite panel. “That all you needed?”

“Yeah,” you agreed, climbing back into the bed of the truck you drove to pick up tows across the city. The parking brake was already locked, so engaging the lift mechanism only took the press of a few buttons.

Your new friend was finally displeased. With a face like thunder, he stood outside of the truck and frowned up at your open window. You had already locked the doors, of course, but you were ready to start rolling up the window if needed. This wouldn’t be the first time you’d had a pickup get violent.

“Last chance, love,” he growled, accent thicker than ever. “Let me car down or I’ll have you charged with obstruction of justice and inconveniencing a federal officer.”

That surprised a laugh out of you. The man looked equally surprised, though with a lot more displeasure than you felt. “It’s not a crime to inconvenience a federal officer.”

“C’mon,” he urged, leaning heavily against the outside of your door. It was hard to claim that he was breaching your personal space through a truck door, especially when his expression changed to one of pleading. “Do me one favor. Just one.”

“Fine,” you conceded with a sigh. The triumphant smile that flashed over his handsome face convinced you that you were doing the right thing. “Here’s your favor: get a new forger.”

“Pardon?” he asked, frowning.

“The CIA doesn’t carry badges,” you told him.

He tilted his head at you, pulling out the wallet once more. He flipped it open to display the badge. “Hate to argue with a beautiful bird, but what would you call this?”

“I would call that an FBI badge with ‘CIA’ written across the top.” You reached out through the window to tap on the identification badge with his face on it. “The CIA doesn’t carry badges to show the public. They just have these ID cards. Get a new forger or change your cover story.”

You pulled your arm back into the truck for just long enough to retrieve a business card from the collection stored on top of the passenger sun visor. “Pick up your car here between six and ten pm, or anytime after nine tomorrow morning.”

That face was darkening again, but you didn’t give him the chance to say more than a syllable or two before you were pulling away from the curb. His car on the back of the truck made it more difficult to weave through the heavy traffic of downtown, but you managed. You had been navigating these streets for most of your life. Nothing about this was any different than every other day.

When you dropped the ragged car at the yard, Uncle Bo examined it with an expression of deep skepticism. “Tell me none’a those bumper scratches are from you.”

You scoffed. “How long has it been since I scratched a bumper?”

“Years,” Uncle Bo admitted readily. “You’re getting better.”

“Admit it,” you jabbed, “you’re going to leave this business to me when you finally decide to retire.”

Uncle Bo snorted loudly. “If you’re still around the tow yard when I decide to retire, sure. You’ll have earned it. But you better not hold your breath - I’ve got years of steam left in me.”

“I’ll remind you about that next time I catch you napping in the office.” You turned, patting him on the shoulder. “Speaking of, I’m going to go enter this in the books. The owner caught an attitude. We’ll probably hear from him again and I want to make sure all of our paperwork is in place.”

“Good idea,” Uncle Bo agreed. “I’m heading out for the night, but I’ll have my phone if you need anything. And I don’t nap in the office. My poor old eyes need rest!”

You didn’t bother replying to the age-old argument. Bo was already gone, and you were working the late shift. The lot stayed open until ten most nights, and all of Bo’s other employees had the day off. All two of them. They were both mechanics, and since they had planned to service all of the company vehicles early the next morning, you were stuck at the yard alone that night. Bo would have to cover tomorrow night, his tired eyes be damned.

You weren’t proud to admit that you had zoned out while entering the crappy sedan’s information into the tow yard log. This wasn’t a bad job, but there had to be something more out there. Working a dead-end job at a towing company wasn’t how you wanted to spend your life. Maybe it was time to start job-hunting. Again. During a recession and a notable lack of jobs on the market.

The groan you let out was slightly muffled when your forehead hit the log book.

The rest of your shift was spent at the desk in the back room, scrolling through employment sites on your phone. Tragically, the shitty job market hadn’t improved in the week since you had last checked. It seemed like your options were to stay at the tow yard, work in another equally unfulfilling job, or go back to school and learn to do something useful.

At two minutes past ten, you let your phone clatter loudly onto the table as you began to gather your things. You had chosen to wear a thicker jacket than normal that night. It wasn’t quite winter yet in the city, but it was close enough that the darker hours were unpleasantly chilly. The thick material was warm against your hand when you grabbed the jacket and started to put it on.

And, of course, that was when the phone started to ring.

You stared at it for a long moment, dismayed. It was almost five past ten by that point, which meant you were five minutes past any obligation to pick it up. But you couldn’t risk losing business for your uncle. And if he was happy with the work you had done, he would complain less when you left early the next day.

Cursing your own work ethic, you picked up the phone. “Yeah?”

“I’m here for my fuckin’ car.”

You seriously debated hanging up immediately. It was close, but you managed to hold onto your temper. “We get a lot of that here. Wanna give me some details?”

In a longsuffering tone, your charming caller gave you the license plate number. That information confirmed your suspicions: this was the same man whose car you had picked up earlier in the day.

“I’ll meet you at the gate,” you told him. “Did you bring a form of payment to settle your bill?”

“I’ve got your money,” he growled.

“Great,” you said, then hung up.

You were glowering as you stomped outside into the chilly night. Bo was going to have to pay your overtime. Family or not, you refused to work for free.

“Finally,” the man growled, shoving his hands into the pockets of his coat. “Don’t wanna stand here all damn night.”

You stopped, crossing your arms. “We’re closed.”

“Now you tell me?” the man demanded. His accent was even thicker than it had been earlier, a rough British twang. His face was in shadows, but he was clearly irritated. “What the fuck are-?”

“I’ll help you get your car,” you interrupted tersely. “I’m just letting you know that I’m helping you when I don’t have to. Because I’m a great fucking person. You’re welcome. Now give me your ID and stop being an asshole or you can come back when we’re actually open.”

To your shock, he kept his mouth shut and held his ID out for you through the gaps in the chain-link fence. You took it, double checking the name against the one that the car had been registered to. An image labeled ‘Billy Butcher’ smirked up at you from the laminated card until you handed it back.

“Give me your keys and the money. I’ll bring your car.”

Butcher huffed at that. “Not a chance. Let me in and I’ll get my own car.”

“We’re closed,” you reminded, putting your hands on your hips. “I’m not letting you into the yard when I’m the only one here.”

“Fine,” he gritted out, offering a wad of cash. A moment later, a set of keys was also slipped through the fence, dangling from his fingers.

You frowned as you took the money and keys. Were his hands dirty? They looked dark around the knuckles… Quickly, you peeled off the correct number of bills and handed the rest back to him.

“Not taking a tip?” he asked, cocking a dark brow at you.

“I don’t need to steal your money.” With willpower, you managed to keep back a comment about how seeing idiots like him getting their cars towed was payment enough.

“Be careful with her,” Butcher warned. “She’s temperamental.”

He stepped closer to the fence as he cautioned you, and you fought back a gasp. Butcher looked like he had gotten in a few fights in the few hours since you had picked up his car. One of his eyes was black, his lip was split, and one side of his face was beginning to swell. With that image in your head, you could see that his hand wasn’t dirty. His fingers were bruised, dried blood flaking at the joints of his knuckles.

“I’ll be right back.”

Butcher didn’t say anything else as you walked off deeper into the lot, but it didn’t matter. You were lost in thought, trying to remember the signs of a concussion, and you were unlocking the door of his shitty sedan before you thought to wonder why you cared.

Uncle Bo always liked to say that you were too soft-hearted to live in the city. You had always answered that with a snort and a rude comment, but you were starting to wonder if he may be right.

A quick search on your phone brought up a list of symptoms, and you were keeping them fresh in your mind as you pulled the car up to the gate. As soon as you had thrown it into park, you slid from the stained seat and unlatched the chain.

“No stupid moves.” You backed up slightly when Butcher stepped through the gates. “I’m armed.”

Butcher looked you up and down, amusement on his face. “Whatever you say, love. ‘Sides, I don’t want nothing from you except my car.”

You gestured invitingly toward his car. Butcher slid into the seat, caressing the steering wheel for a moment longer than you were comfortable with. He slammed the door, then rolled the window down. “See ya around.”

Your reply - not that you intended to give one - was interrupted when he revved his engine and it promptly died.

Butcher sat in shocked silence for a moment. He broke it almost immediately with a loud curse that he punctuated with a slam of his palm against the steering wheel. “Didn’t engage the battery disconnect, did you.”

“Didn’t know you had one,” you said. “All the shit you said when I towed your car and you didn’t think to tell me you had a battery disconnect?”

“Too busy findin’ out me badge is bullshit, weren’t I?” he hissed.

“The disconnect couldn’t have been on when your car was towed,” you pointed out. “If it had been, it would have been on this whole time.”

“I wasn’t planning to be away from my car that long.” Butcher whacked the dashboard for good measure. “Just needed to scope out the supes. Twenty minute job, then I was gonna be back in and driving away.”

“The supes?” you repeated, frowning. “You were illegally parked in front of the Vought building. That’s why they called me to come tow you. You were spying on them?”

“Someone has to!” he snapped. “Everyone thinks those fuckers are up in their tower, waiting to protect the helpless and all of that shit. But they’re not. They’re a bunch of selfish cunts, and the only things they use their powers for is to get ahead or get off. And you’d better hope you’re never in their way for either of those, or you’ll be gone without anyone to ask what happened to you.”

The silence that fell after that was heavy and awkward. You nodded too many times, eventually finding the voice to say, “I need some coffee. Want some?”

Butcher gave you a look so full of disbelief that you almost apologized outright, but he gave a slow nod. “Yeah.”

You retreated to the office, filling two cheap paper cups with the pot of coffee you had unwisely brewed at eight thirty. Butcher hadn’t told you how he took his coffee, but he had answered one of your more pressing questions: he was definitely concussed.

Ultimately, that was none of your business, but it was still a little concerning. If you let him leave and he crashed his car, would it be your fault? Probably not in a legal sense. You could always claim that you hadn’t known he was injured. But would you be able to handle the guilt if he died or killed someone else?

The moral questions tumbling through your mind kept you so focused on your thoughts that you handed Butcher his cup in utter silence, staring at him. Eventually, he swallowed a sip of the black coffee and begrudgingly said, ��Thanks.”

You blinked. “No problem. So, dead battery?”

Butcher scowled into the open hood of his car. “Yeah. Does this a lot.”

“I can get you a replacement,” you suggested. “As long as yours is decent and just needs charged, I can switch it out for another one for free. Or I have jumper cables if it’ll hold a charge long enough for you to get where you’re going.”

With a slow shake of his head, Butcher said, “Nah, the battery is shot. And the alternator was holding on by a thread. This will’ve bumped it off for good. I’ll need a full replacement for both before I can drive this thing more than a mile or two.”

Well. You sighed. “I can’t help you with a full replacement for either. I know a mechanic around the corner, but he’s not gonna be open this late. Best he’ll be able to do is tomorrow morning. At least it’ll be easy to get over there.”

Butcher gave you a sidelong glance. “Suspiciously helpful for someone working after hours.”

“I get paid overtime,” you replied, not missing a beat. “Besides, maybe I’m trying to earn a place in heaven.”

“I know a faster way.” Butcher took another sip of coffee while you waited, brows lifted. “Get a drink with me.”

The non sequitur made you blink. “What?”

“A drink,” he repeated, exaggeratedly slowly. “Something better than shitty coffee. With me. In a bar - I’m not going to a fucking dance club.”

“How did we get from you threatening me to wanting us to get a drink?” you asked.

Butcher smirked, and you suddenly understood the expression ‘curl of the lips’. “I’ve never threatened you, love. Trust me, you’d remember. But it’s been a shit night. Shit week, actually. The only good part of it so far has been you. Best I can figure… you’re the only thing that can keep tonight from being a waste of my fuckin’ time.”

“Flattering,” you said dryly. But you didn’t turn him down. You couldn’t claim to be interested in Billy Butcher. At least, not romantically. You thought he was interesting in a tragic comedy kind of way. More importantly, you thought - if you played your cards right - you might be able to convince him to see a doctor and make sure he didn’t have some kind of concussion-induced brain injury.

“You know what?” you asked, watching Butcher brace for whatever horrible thing he thought you were going to say. “I could use a drink. But I get to choose the place.”

He was quiet for much longer than you had expected, but he nodded at last. “Don’t choose somewhere shitty.”

You rolled your eyes, snatching the coffee cup from his hand. Despite his complaints, it was almost empty, and it sailed neatly into the trash can when you tossed it with an expert hand. “I’ll call my mechanic on the way.”

Butcher paused to lock his car before you left. It was a futile gesture since you would lock the yard’s gate behind you, but he insisted. Besides, it gave you a chance to call the mechanic. You even had time to find a route to your favorite bar that led past a 24-hour health clinic. All you had to do was make light conversation until you made it to the doors…

“Why do you work at a towing company?”

You blinked at the abruptness of the question, but gamely answered it: “My uncle owns it. I’ve been helping him since I was a teenager.”

Butcher grunted. “Most people leave their first job.”

“And what about you?” you asked, a hint of challenge in your voice. “Why do you do what you do? What do you do?”

“I help keep supes from killing us all.”

“Yeah,” you agreed awkwardly. “They seem like a real threat to society with all of the crime-fighting and donations to charity.”

“Public relations, love,” Butcher told you, “nothing more.”

“Of course they use public relations,” you replied, trying to ignore the little tingle that went through you at him using that pet name in that tone. “Most businesses have to do some kind of public relations. Especially big companies like Vought.”

Butcher snorted. “They don’t use PR to neaten up their image; they use it to cover the mountain of shit their pet psychopaths get into. And that lot ain’t heroes. They’re a bunch of cunts with too much power and not enough people to tell ‘em to knock it off. They’re dangerous, and what makes ‘em that way is people like you who think they’re heroes.”

“Okay,” you said slowly, trying to decide between pacifying him by agreeing or antagonizing him so you could hear more of his ranting. It was fascinating and oddly entertaining, and you found yourself slowing down so you could keep talking before he got to the clinic. “But what about-?”

“They ain’t good for society,” he insisted, interrupting you without seeming to notice. “You’re probably more of a hero than they are, and all you do is inconvenience good people.”

“You were parked in a fire lane,” you reminded him, getting irritated. “If anyone was inconveniencing people-”

“Have you ever thought about the people who are around for a supe fight?” Butcher asked, ignoring your excellent point. “Collateral damage, they say. Supes ruin a lot of lives, and it’s supposed to all be worth it.”

“Sometimes,” you conceded. “But it all depends on the situation, right? If you’re just basing it off of lives saved versus lives lost, doesn’t it make more sense to sacrifice a few to save a lot of people?”

Butcher narrowed his eyes at you. “Spoken like someone who’s never had to see a kid crushed by a car or a couple cut in half by a laser beam.”

“What are you doing about it, since you hate supes so much?”

“Fuck-all,” Butcher told you. At your strange look, he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. “Seems like it most days, anyway.”

“And on the other days?” you pressed.

“The other days…” He frowned, staring at the dirty sidewalk in front of you both, but he didn’t really seem to see it. “Some days, I help people. Help ‘em from being the next statistic Vought sweeps under the fuckin’ rug, you know?”

You didn’t, not really. But something about the weariness in his voice was familiar, and you felt its echo in your chest. “Yeah, I know.”

Both of you fell silent after that, but it wasn’t uncomfortable or stilted. You were at ease beside him as you walked. In fact, you were almost a little sad when you saw that you were rapidly approaching your secret destination.

Halfway up the block, a small medical clinic advertised its services with signs in multiple languages and a well-illuminated caduceus symbol. The automatic doors opened at odd intervals to let patients in or out, spilling light across the sidewalk every time. It was staffed and reliable without being crowded, and everything in the clinic was ruthlessly clean. It was the place you took Uncle Bo, your coworkers, and yourself if something happened at the tow yard, or if someone was feeling under the weather. They had always been good to you, and you knew they would be good to Billy Butcher, too.

“Maybe we should stop here for a minute,” you suggested, pausing by the door.

Butcher glanced up at the sign, dark brows furrowing. The next instant, his eyes were roaming up and down your body and face. “You hurt?”

“No, but you might be.” Butcher sighed and started walking again, but you didn’t budge. “I’m serious! You might have a concussion and that can end up ruining your life.”

Butcher rounded, now several feet ahead of you. “You really think I don’t know what a concussion feels like? Just call me a pussy. It’s faster.”

You rolled your eyes, but caught up with him as he started walking away again. After a block of irritable silence, he glanced sidelong at you. “Are you actually interested in a drink? Or did you just want to get me to a doctor?”

“Bit of both,” you answered after a moment of consideration.

“Makes one of us,” he muttered. “Don’t know how much I feel like having a drink now. You’ve ruined my appetite.”

“Wanting a drink doesn’t count as an appetite.” You weren’t entirely sure why you were still following Butcher down the sidewalk.

“Is this what you do?” he demanded, stopping short and rounding on you. His face was all righteous fury, dark brows stabbing upward as his nostrils flared. His hands braced against his hips, splaying his coat until he looked like a big creature puffing itself bigger with rage. “Nag people to make yourself feel more important? It’s annoyin’ as fuck.”

You had stopped short to keep from running into Butcher, so it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing that you dropped your eyes to the bit of sidewalk between you. After a few breaths to get yourself back on an even keel, you met his eyes again.

“I’m sorry,” you apologized freely. “I didn’t realize I was bothering you so badly. I’ll have one fo the technicians call you tomorrow morning with details about your car.”

It was your turn to whip around and start walking in the opposite direction. You weren’t entirely shocked when a second set of footsteps began to echo yours. You glanced up at Butcher. “You don’t have to come back with me. I’ll make sure your car gets to the mechanic shop tomorrow.”

“Not gonna let you walk back there alone, am I?” he asked. “There’s too many dumb fuckers about for that.”

There was clearly no point in arguing with him, so you didn’t bother. You wrapped your arms around yourself, even though it made you walk like a duck. The evening was just tipping from cool to cold, especially with the wind picking up. And the lack of conversation between you and Butcher somehow managed to be colder than the autumn night.

“If it makes you feel any better,” you started, breaking the silence, “I don’t think that you’re concussed. Not anymore.”

“Yeah?” Butcher pressed when he had finished giving a loud snort. “What am I then, doctor?”

You stared him full in the face as you replied, “A conspiracy nut with a vendetta against supes. But you’re pretty harmless, all things considered.”

Butcher laughed at that, loud and sharp. The joy made him look more savage, his teeth flashing sharply white against the darkness of his facial hair, and you needed a moment before you could pull your eyes from his face. “Can’t argue with none of that, love. But if you think I’m anywhere near as dangerous as an uncontrolled supe, you haven’t been payin’ attention.”

“Maybe you’re not, but I don’t see any supes around here,” you pointed out. “Controlled or otherwise.”

“Thank fuck for that,” Butcher muttered. “Well, seein’ as I’m not so dangerous after all, maybe we should go get a drink.”

“Thought you weren’t in the mood anymore,” you said, a challenging little tilt to your chin.

Butcher stroked his chin, thoughtful eyes on you. “I could be persuaded. That is, if you’re still in the mood.”

“Not really,” you admitted, watching him deflate slightly from the corner of your eye. “But I have some energy and frustration to burn off. You interested in helping out with that?”

It took a moment for Butcher’s parted lips to form words, and you watched the process patiently. “Are you propositionin’ me?”

“Yes,” you confirmed. “Are you offended by that?”

“Offended you beat me to it.” Butcher’s grin had gone from disbelieving to wolfish in less time than it took to get that sentence out. “And I accept.”

“Good, we’ll go to my apartment,” you decided. “It’s close and clean.”

“Had me at ‘close’,” Butcher told you, trailing close to your heels. “Lead on, love.”

ch. six - a home away from home masterlist

you get off of the train, pulling your backpack close to your shoulder. the sky is filled with clouds that droop with soon to come rain. "yeah, just got here. i just can't wait til the weekend ends," you hold your phone up to your ear, looking around the train station to see if you can see your mom.

"it's just a couple days, and you know you can call 'samu or i whenever," atsumu's voice echoes through your ear, the volume a little more gentle than you're typically accustomed to.

it had been awhile since you stepped foot in your hometown. everything overwhelms you with feelings of nostalgia. yet everything seems so different. the newly planted trees have aged and sprouted into gorgeous flowers, the train station is painted over with a luscious green. and in the middle of it all is a red sudan.

it's chipped, dented a little in the back, and filled with so many memories. the wheels are covered in grime and the very person you fear to see once again, happens to be sitting in the front seat. she has on chunky earrings, a workout tank top showing off the australian sun she had encountered.

you want to wait a moment to see if she'll notice you. see if she'll coming running out of the car and urging you for a hug. however, she sits there, typing on her phone. you look back at the train, almost forgetting atsumu was on the other end of the phone, "i think i might just come home."

"y/n, we'll support you no matter what you do," he tries to sound soothing, yet his voice never seems to come across that way.

"thanks, if need be, i'll take the train home."

you take in a deep breath and cancel the call, shoving your phone into your back pocket. every step you take towards the muddied car is every butterfly in your stomach multiplying. blackness covers your peripheral vision and for a moment you wonder if you'll pass out. you stop for a second and take in a deep breath, knowing that you can step away whenever.

when you get meters away from the car, you can see she knows it's you. the way she lowers her phone and her sunglasses, eyes staring back at you with the intensity of ten suns. she lowers the window on the passenger smile and attempts to give you a warm smile. "thanks for coming this weekend, honey."

the way she says it brings you back to when you were younger. back to when your dad would usher the same word but make it sound oh so much better. he'd swing you around on the beach and teach you everything you wanted to learn. but when she says it, it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. "yeah, it's been a while, so i thought it was time," you open the car door, sliding in next to her.

"well, akai is waiting for us, he's made some lunch. some of your favorite things. i wanna try for us and i'm thinking that he may be proposing soon..." she smiles towards you, reaching her hand out towards you.

you look over at her, swallowing the thick mucus coating your throat. you had met akai so many years ago, when the two of them were simply two people in recovery together. but now everything's changing, you can't even return to your hometown without everything flipping upside down on you, "okay."

she starts driving, trying to ignore the malice lacing your voice. however, you've always found that she likes to start an argument where one never needed to exist, "why can't you just trust that i'm doing what's best?"

"because you haven't since dad died. and now you're dating someone who you used to binge drink with and expect me to think that you're what's best for each other?" you can't bear to look at her, staring ahead at the backroads that she starts driving down.

"that's not your decision to make. especially because you haven't seen either of us in years."

you shake your head, biting the inside of your cheek. "you're right! i wonder why that is.."

she takes a moment to take in a deep breath. you didn't want to fight with her this trip, especially when you only came to visit your dad. however, hearing her voice when it used to be such a soothing thing can send someone over the edge. now, all you can remember is the hatred and resentment that she expressed over and over again.

"you don't know what it's like to lose the love of your life-"

"and you think losing a dad isn't just as hard? and then losing your mom all in the same day? let me out of the car," you finally turn to look at her, clenching your jaw upon realizing that you can't stay with her.

she peeks over at you, biting her lip. "i can't just let you out on the side of the road, why don't we talk about it? you can see akai again and really get to know him!" she begs, staring out at the upcoming beach and the greenery, unable to meet your eyes now.

"no! let out me out! i have finals coming up, i don't wanna deal with this right now! just- just let me out of the car!" you finally reach the point of practically yelling, your heart racing, hands shaking.

finally, she slows to a stop, free leg bouncing nervously. she turns to look at you, finally realizing that no matter what she does, there's been too much pain. and that pain has unfortunately overpowered whatever happy memories the two of you went through together. that you're still hurting, even if you wanted to ignore it.

she watches as you open the car door, exiting with the little duffel bag you brought along. you can take in a deep breath and turn to look back at her, "bye, m- uh goodbye."

the word 'mom' couldn't exit your mouth, your lips seal shut before you could utter it. you can tell that she notices it, she notices the change in demeanor, the way you shut the door. she can tell that truly, nothing's changed, that the little girl that used to play in the sand with her doesn't exist anymore. she drives off without much of a fight, leaving you standing on a boardwalk, tears already falling.

and at the seemingly worst time, your phone starts ringing, akaashi's name written across your screen. you bring your hand up, wiping away the tears that rest on your cheek, "hi, akaashi."

"l/n, sorry to call- are you okay?"

Out of Gas

Summary: Team Free Will limps away from a hunt, and Baby breaks down far from help. My homage to Firefly (not a crossover).

This is an homage to my favourite episode of Firefly. This occurs sometime in season eight, when Charlie and Kevin are still alive and there are tablets to be found. Cas doesn’t become human in this version and Gadreel is nowhere in sight.

If you haven't seen Firefly, this fic is still fully enjoyable on its own (though you should really watch the show because it's the best show that never was).

Rating: Teen and Up

Word Count: 10,646

Relationships: Dean/Cas, Sam & Dean, Charlie & Dean, Kevin & Dean

Link to Fic on A03

High noon: in a canyon smack dab in the middle of the asscrack of nowhere, the blazing sun beat down on a large, black car parked crookedly at the side of a dusty road. The once-pristine paint on the hood was scratched, the sun’s rays shimmering and distorted as they reflected off the still-shiny, though heavily dented, chrome work on the bumper.

The midday heat had no mercy on the interior of the car, which was empty save for a sparkling layer of shattered glass from the rear windshield, glass which was flecked here and there with rapidly drying blood.

A bluster of hot wind buffeted against the side of the car, causing the trunk lid, which had been open, to waver and fall shut with a clang.

At the back tire, roused by the thump of the empty trunk closing, Dean raised his sweaty head from where it lay in the dirt. A mask of fine powder coated one side of his face and he blinked, twice, trying to clear some of the particles from his lashes. He squinted through the glare up at the wheel well, struggling to see past the sun’s refraction that was trying its best to blind him. The heat was making him dizzy, and rather than being able to focus, his vision whited out, and his face once more fell to the ground. He smiled faintly as he remembered prodding a toe at these tires on a sunny morning a long time ago …

Top 5 Reasons to Invest in Professional Auto Detailing

As you step into your vehicle, do you take pride in its appearance or cringe at the thought of the dirt, dust, and grime that's accumulated over time? You're not alone. A clean, well-kept vehicle is not only a reflection of your personal style, but it's also a vital aspect of maintaining its overall health and longevity. By investing in professional auto detailing, you're not just giving your car a makeover �� you're making a smart investment that yields tangible benefits. In this article, we'll explore the top 5 reasons why professional auto detailing is an investment worth considering.

Reason 1: Protect Your Investment with Regular Automobile Care and Preservation

While a new car purchase can be an exciting milestone, it's crucial to remember that your vehicle requires regular maintenance to maintain its value and performance. Professional auto detailing plays a crucial role in preserving your car's condition, ensuring it remains in top shape for years to come.

The Importance of Regular Maintenance

Conservation of your vehicle's original state is key to extending its lifespan. Regular detailing helps to prevent damage, corrosion, and wear, allowing you to enjoy your car for a longer period without worrying about costly repairs.

How Neglect Can Lead to Costly Repairs

One of the most significant consequences of neglecting regular maintenance is the accumulation of damage that can lead to expensive repairs down the line. Failing to address minor issues can result in major problems, such as rust, dents, and scratches, which can significantly reduce your car's value.

It's alarming to note that a single scratch can cost upwards of $500 to repair, while neglecting to wax your car regularly can lead to paint damage that requires a $1,000 to $2,000 respray. By investing in professional auto detailing, you can avoid these unnecessary expenses and ensure your car remains in pristine condition.

Reason 2: Ceramic Coating - The Ultimate Shield for Your Vehicle

Assuming you want to protect your vehicle from the harsh elements and maintain its showroom shine, ceramic coating is an imperative investment. This advanced technology provides an impenetrable barrier against damage, ensuring your car looks new for years to come.

What is Ceramic Coating?

Reasonably, you might wonder what ceramic coating is and how it works. In simple terms, it's a nanotechnology-based protective layer applied to your car's paint and interior surfaces. This transparent shield repels water, dirt, and UV rays, preventing damage and wear.

Benefits of Ceramic Coating for Your Car's Paint and Interior

Benefits of ceramic coating extend far beyond aesthetics. By creating an impermeable barrier, it safeguards your car's paint and interior from environmental hazards, reducing maintenance needs and preserving its original condition.

For instance, ceramic coating can reduce the risk of paint damage from road salt, bug splatters, and UV rays by up to 90%. This means you'll spend less time and money on repairs and maintenance, and more time enjoying your vehicle. With ceramic coating, you can drive away with confidence, knowing your car is protected from the inside out.

Reason 3: Auto Detailing is More Than Just a Wash and Wax

Some car owners may think that a quick wash and wax is all their vehicle needs to look its best. However, professional auto detailing is a comprehensive process that goes far beyond a simple wash and wax. It's an investment in the overall health and appearance of your vehicle.

The Difference Between a DIY Wash and a Professional Detail

Diverging from the quick fixes of a DIY wash, a professional detail involves a meticulous process that targets every aspect of your vehicle's interior and exterior. From the intricate crevices to the delicate surfaces, a professional detailer knows exactly what it takes to bring out the best in your car.

The Attention to Detail That Sets Professionals Apart

To truly appreciate the value of professional auto detailing, you need to understand the level of attention to detail that sets professionals apart. Every inch of your vehicle is meticulously inspected and treated with specialized products and techniques to ensure a showroom shine.

Detail-oriented professionals will notice things that you may overlook, such as tiny scratches, faded trim, or worn-out carpets. They'll use their expertise to rectify these issues, leaving your vehicle looking and feeling like new. With a professional detail, you can rest assured that every aspect of your car has been carefully considered and treated with care.

Reason 4: Car Storage - The Forgotten Aspect of Car Care

Keep your vehicle in pristine condition by considering the often-overlooked aspect of car storage. A clean and well-maintained car is not just about regular washing and waxing, but also about proper storage when not in use.

Why Proper Storage is Crucial for Your Vehicle's Condition

On top of protecting your car from harsh weather conditions, proper storage also shields it from dust, dirt, and other contaminants that can cause damage over time. This is especially important for cars that are rarely used or stored for extended periods.

Tips for Choosing the Right Car Storage Facility

Carefully selecting a storage facility can make all the difference in maintaining your car's condition. Here are some tips to consider:

Look for facilities with climate-controlled units to regulate temperature and humidity.

Opt for indoor storage to protect your car from the elements.

Check the facility's security measures, such as CCTV cameras and on-site staff.

Assume that a reputable facility will have a clean and well-maintained environment.

Plus, consider the facility's location and accessibility, as well as their experience in storing high-value or specialty vehicles. A good storage facility will not only keep your car safe but also provide you with peace of mind.

Ask about their storage procedures and protocols.

Inquire about their insurance coverage and liability policies.

Check online reviews and ask for referrals from friends or family.

Assume that a professional storage facility will have a clear and transparent pricing structure.

Reason 5: A Car Detailing Service Can Increase Your Vehicle's Resale Value

Once again, a well-maintained vehicle can pay off in the long run. When it's time to sell your car, a professional detailing service can significantly impact its resale value. In fact, a study by the National Automobile Dealers Association found that a thorough detailing can increase a vehicle's resale value by up to 10%.

How a Well-Maintained Vehicle Impacts Resale Value

Enhancing your vehicle's appearance and condition can significantly boost its resale value. A well-maintained vehicle conveys a sense of pride and responsibility, giving potential buyers confidence in their purchase.

The Role of Professional Detailing in Maintaining Your Car's Value

Valuing your vehicle's appearance and condition, professional detailers use specialized techniques and products to restore its original shine and luster. By removing imperfections and protecting surfaces, they help maintain your car's value over time.

Your vehicle is a significant investment, and regular detailing is vital to preserving its worth. By entrusting your car to a professional detailer, you can ensure that it remains in top condition, both inside and out. This not only enhances its resale value but also provides a sense of pride and satisfaction every time you get behind the wheel.

The Benefits of Regular Car Detailing Go Beyond Aesthetics

All too often, car owners focus solely on the visual benefits of detailing, but the advantages extend far beyond a sparkling exterior and interior. Regular detailing has a significant impact on your health, safety, and even your mental well-being.

How Cleanliness Impacts Your Health and Safety

An unclean vehicle can harbor allergens, bacteria, and germs, putting you and your passengers at risk of illness. Regular detailing eliminates these health hazards, creating a safer environment for everyone.

The Psychological Benefits of Owning a Well-Maintained Vehicle

To own a well-maintained vehicle is to experience a sense of pride and confidence. You're more likely to feel organized, responsible, and in control when your car looks and feels its best.

The psychological benefits of owning a well-maintained vehicle are profound. Research shows that cluttered and disorganized environments can contribute to increased stress levels, anxiety, and even depression. By keeping your car clean and tidy, you're creating a positive ripple effect that can extend into other areas of your life. You'll feel more energized, motivated, and prepared to take on the day when you get behind the wheel of a car that looks and feels its best.

Customer Review "Awesome customer service and nice modern facility. I store my classics here for the season." -Josh Aker, 5 Star Google Review

Final Words

So, now that you've discovered the top 5 reasons to invest in professional auto detailing, it's time to take action. You've learned how detailing can enhance your vehicle's appearance, protect its interior and exterior, increase its resale value, save you time and effort, and provide expertise and high-quality products.

DIY Auto Painting: What You Need to Know for Miami

If you're considering giving your car a fresh new look but want to avoid the expense of a professional auto painting service, a DIY paint job might be an appealing option. Painting your car yourself can save you money and give you a sense of accomplishment, but it also requires careful planning, the right tools, and a suitable environment. In Miami, where weather conditions can be challenging, there are specific considerations to keep in mind. Here's what you need to know to successfully tackle a DIY auto painting project in Miami.

1. Choose the Right Location

One of the most critical factors for a DIY Auto Painting Miami job is selecting the right location. In Miami, where the weather is hot, humid, and unpredictable, you'll need a place that's sheltered from the elements. Painting your car outdoors exposes it to dust, debris, and potential rain, which can ruin the paint finish.

Consider renting a well-ventilated garage or a designated paint booth for the job. A controlled indoor environment will help ensure that your paint job is smooth and free from contaminants. If painting outdoors, choose a day with mild weather, low humidity, and no wind.

2. Prepare the Surface Properly

Preparation is key to a successful DIY Auto Painting Miami job. Start by thoroughly washing your car to remove dirt, grease, and grime. Use a degreaser or automotive soap to clean the surface and dry it completely.

Next, sand the car’s surface to remove the old paint, scratches, and imperfections. Use a combination of 320- and 600-grit sandpaper to smooth the surface, ensuring that the new paint will adhere properly. Pay special attention to areas with rust, dents, or chips. Use a rust remover or rust converter to treat any rust spots, and fill in any dents or scratches with body filler. Sand these areas until they are smooth and even.

After sanding, wipe down the entire surface with a tack cloth or a lint-free cloth dampened with a paint prep solvent to remove dust and debris.

3. Gather the Right Tools and Materials

To achieve professional-looking results, you’ll need the right tools and materials for the Auto Painting Miami job. Here’s a basic list of what you’ll need:

Automotive Paint: Choose high-quality automotive paint that suits your car’s color and finish. In Miami's climate, consider using UV-resistant paint to protect against sun damage.

Primer: An automotive primer is essential for preparing the surface and ensuring the paint adheres properly.

Clear Coat: A clear coat provides a glossy finish and protects the paint from UV rays, moisture, and contaminants.

Sandpaper: Get a range of grits (320 to 600) for different stages of the sanding process.

Paint Sprayer or Spray Gun: A high-quality paint sprayer or spray gun with an air compressor will provide an even and consistent application. Avoid using regular spray cans for a full paint job, as they don’t provide the same level of control or coverage.

Masking Tape and Paper: Use these to cover areas you don’t want to paint, such as windows, trim, lights, and mirrors.

Respirator Mask and Safety Gear: Protect yourself from fumes and particles with a respirator mask, safety glasses, and gloves.

Drop Cloths and Plastic Sheeting: Cover the ground and surrounding areas to protect them from overspray.

4. Consider the Weather Conditions

Miami’s hot and humid weather can impact your DIY Auto Painting Miami job. High humidity can cause paint to take longer to dry, resulting in runs, drips, or an uneven finish. On the other hand, high temperatures can cause the paint to dry too quickly, leading to issues like orange peel or a rough texture.

Try to paint your car when temperatures are between 60°F and 75°F, and humidity levels are below 50%. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, consider using fans or dehumidifiers to control the environment. Early mornings or late afternoons are often the best times to paint, as temperatures are cooler and humidity is lower.

5. Apply the Primer Correctly

Applying primer is a crucial step in the painting process. It provides a base for the paint to adhere to and helps cover any imperfections on the car’s surface. Use an automotive primer and apply it in thin, even coats using your spray gun or paint sprayer.

Hold the spray gun about 6-8 inches away from the surface and move it in smooth, sweeping motions. Allow each coat to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions before applying the next coat. Typically, 2-3 coats of primer are sufficient. After the primer has dried, lightly sand it with fine-grit sandpaper (600 grit) to ensure a smooth surface for the paint.

6. Apply the Paint in Thin Layers

When applying the paint, work slowly and carefully to ensure an even coat. Hold the spray gun at a consistent distance (6-8 inches) from the car’s surface and use long, overlapping strokes to avoid uneven coverage or streaks. It’s better to apply several thin coats than one thick coat, as this reduces the risk of runs and drips.

Allow each coat to dry for the recommended time before applying the next. Depending on the paint, you may need 3-4 coats for adequate coverage. Be patient, and resist the urge to rush the process.

7. Apply a Clear Coat for Protection

After the color coats have dried, apply a clear coat to protect the paint and give it a glossy finish. The clear coat is especially important in Miami's climate, where UV rays and salty air can quickly degrade unprotected paint.

Use the same technique as you did for the paint: apply thin, even coats with overlapping strokes. Typically, 2-3 coats of clear coat are recommended. Allow each coat to dry fully before applying the next. A high-quality clear coat will provide UV protection and help maintain your car’s finish in Miami's harsh environment.

8. Allow Proper Drying and Curing Time

Drying and curing time is critical for a successful DIY paint job. Even if the paint feels dry to the touch, it may not be fully cured. Curing can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the type of paint used and the weather conditions.

Avoid washing your car or exposing it to extreme conditions during this time. Try to keep the vehicle in a sheltered area or garage until the paint is fully cured to avoid any accidental damage.

9. Polish and Buff the Paint for a Professional Finish

Once the paint is fully cured, the final step is to polish and buff it to achieve a professional-looking shine. Use a high-quality automotive polish and a soft cloth or buffer to gently remove any imperfections, such as orange peel or slight roughness.

Buffing should be done carefully to avoid burning through the clear coat or paint. Take your time and use a light touch to create a smooth, glossy finish.

10. Practice Patience and Attention to Detail

DIY auto painting requires a significant amount of patience, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn from mistakes. Don’t rush the process—take your time with each step to ensure the best results. Remember that even professional painters have years of experience to perfect their craft, so be prepared to invest time in learning the techniques and understanding the materials.

Conclusion

DIY auto painting can be a rewarding project that saves you money while giving your car a fresh new look. However, in Miami’s challenging climate, it requires careful preparation, the right tools, and an understanding of how local weather conditions can affect the outcome. By choosing the right location, properly preparing the surface, using quality materials, and following best practices, you can achieve a paint job that looks professional and lasts for years.

Feel free to adjust this guide to include any specific tips or recommendations that align with your expertise or services offered.

Restoring Your Vehicle: The Complete Guide to Car Denting & Painting in Borivali

Maintaining the exterior of your car is crucial, especially in a bustling area like Borivali, where minor dents, scratches, and paint damage are common. Car denting and painting services are designed to address these issues and restore your vehicle's appearance and value. This guide will walk you through what these services involve and why they are essential.

Car denting and painting focus on repairing physical damage to your car and renewing its paint job. Over time, your vehicle may suffer from dents due to minor accidents or everyday wear and tear. The denting process involves removing these imperfections, while the painting process ensures that the repaired areas match the car's original colour. Professional car denting & painting in Borivali can make your car look as good as new and protect it from further damage.

Opting for car denting and painting services provides several benefits. First and foremost, it enhances the visual appeal of your vehicle. A car with noticeable dents and scratches can look old and worn, even if it's in good mechanical condition. By addressing these issues, you not only improve the car's appearance but also help maintain or even increase its resale value. Additionally, prompt denting and painting prevent further damage, such as rust, which can result from exposed metal areas. Keeping up with these repairs ensures that your car remains protected from the elements and maintains its structural integrity.

The process of car denting and painting involves several steps to ensure a flawless finish. It begins with an initial inspection to assess the extent of the damage. Technicians determine whether the dents can be repaired with paintless dent repair or if traditional methods are needed. Following this, the denting process removes the imperfections using specialized tools. If necessary, the affected areas are sanded down and primed to prepare for painting. The painting process involves applying multiple coats of paint that match the car's original color, followed by a final polishing to achieve a glossy, smooth finish.

Choosing the right service for car denting & painting in Borivali is crucial. Look for providers with experienced technicians who use high-quality materials and advanced techniques. Checking customer reviews and ratings can give you insights into the service's reliability and quality. While cost is an important factor, it should not compromise the quality of the repair work.

Regular maintenance, including addressing minor dents and paint damage, helps keep your car in top condition. There is no set timeline for when you should get these services, but it's wise to address any visible damage as soon as possible. This proactive approach helps prevent minor issues from turning into major problems.

In conclusion, professional car denting & painting services are vital for maintaining your vehicle's appearance and value.
