Features of the Best Online Cycling Apparel Store
When searching for the best online cycling apparel store, look for the following features.
Assortment of Products: It would be a good store where a variety of products from cycling tops and shorts to gloves, helmets, and socks are available. This should suit all fashions and tastes, with both men's and women's choices.
Quality & Durability Matters: Material selection is crucial to bear frequent use and repeated wash cycles without loss of shape, color, or comfort. Quality-oriented shops would go into detail with descriptions and list materials used for every product to ensure that a customer knows precisely what they are buying.
Inclusive Sizing: They come in all shapes and sizes, and a good online store should, therefore, be inclusive in terms of sizes. This makes sure that anyone regardless of body composition can get clothes in which he or she will feel comfortable and perform ably.
Customer Reviews and Ratings: Online shops with customer reviews and ratings give great insights into the quality, fitting, and customer service concerning the product in question. Customer reviews would, no doubt, enable you to make better decisions on which products to purchase to get value for your hard-earned cash.
How to Identify the Best Place to Buy Electric Bikes?
If one wants to take his or her cycling experience to the next level, then here comes an electric bike. It is important to find the best place to buy electric bikes. Some stores can sell road e-bikes for urban commuting, while others sell electric mountain bikes.
Here are key things to look for when seeking electric bikes for purchase would include:
1. Model Variations
A good online store would stock varieties of electric bikes: commuter bikes, folding bikes, and electric mountain bikes. This will ensure customers can find bikes that suit their riding style and the terrain they intend to ride on.
2. Battery Life and Motor Power
Electric bikes have differences in their battery life and the power of the motor. Check stores that can assert specifications such as the range of the battery, wattage of the motor, and time taken for charging. Such information helps when selecting a bike for your performance requirements.
3. After-Sales Support
After-sales support is a very important issue when buying electric bikes online. A good store will, therefore, offer a solid warranty and easy returns and be quick in responding to the customer service team. This is most especially necessary with electric bikes since they have maintenance and support.
Conclusion:
It would involve finding a store that understands your needs as a cyclist, product quality and durability, and the best way of offering customer service. Whether your search online is about cycling t-shirts, the best places to buy electric bikes, or electric mountain bikes online, take your time researching to get a store that will meet your needs as far as cycling is concerned. A well-chosen store can enhance your cycling experience by making every ride more comfortable, efficient, and enjoyable.

✩last warning, you really might need to take 15 after reading this😭⚠︎︎
It’s cliché to say that it all started with a kiss but here you are.
Weeks of flirting and spontaneous dates with the official also played a role in leading up to right now. You remember the first time he walked into the infirmary, he was there to check on one of his boys that was admitted earlier and locked eyes with your wide ones. He was an absolute unit, undeniably gorgeous. Roguish and strong, you had no idea eyes could be that shade of blue and you didn’t know you were staring that obviously until he winked at you, making your cheeks flush with heat.
You heard of him but you never saw him so this? It was automatic electricity and conflicting feelings. Your already pounding heart quite literally jumped in your throat as he made his way over to you.
Jesus Christ on a bike, he was tall.
“One kiss from you and every injury I’ve ever had would be all better”, he’s smooth with it, enjoying the way you fidget.
You were pretty, real pretty and he’d try his best to at least get you to let him take you out sometime. He gives you his name and holds out his hand. You’re timid when you tell him your name, placing your hand in his bigger one, his palms rough and warm.
You let out a soft startled gasp when he raises your hand to his lips, looking you in your eyes as he bends and kisses the back of your hand. Strange warmth fills you as you stare back and John knows in that moment he needed to have you.
“Certainly a pleasure meeting you. Hey, later if you’d like, how’s about we go out about the town? Grab a few drinks, get to know each other?” He asks, licking his lips and your eyes follow the motion, acutely aware that he’s still holding your hand before looking back up to his gleaming eyes. Determined not to let your shyness ruin it, you decide to be bold in a way that’ll change your life.
“How’s about an hour from now? I’ll even buy the first round?” John barks out a laugh. Maybe he underestimated you. Nodding along, he smiles.
“An hour from now it is. See ya then, toots” and then he’s gone and you are smitten.
That date as well as the other ones, go wonderfully and he’s not only gorgeous, he’s also funny, witty, charming, strong, and a natural leader. You learn so much about each other and it’s great but you’ve never gotten further than heated kisses.
John didn’t mind since he was simply following your lead, but he couldn’t help but wonder if you were…comfortable, with him.
So one night after seeing a jazz band, you found yourselves back at his room. You were in a fabulous mood, draped across Bucky’s lap as you rambled about how fun it was and what you guys should get up to next when he kisses you, effectively silencing you.
You cup his face, kissing him back as you tilt your head to deepen the kiss. His tongue slides in your mouth and you moan, the sound makes Bucky’s head spin as he moves you so your legs are on either side of him and grinds up against your center.
His hands feel so good all over your body, that same strange warmth surrounds you making you shiver as you pull away with a gasp, resting your forehead against his.
It usually ended like this, you stopped before things went further so John has to know.
“What’s wrong, bunny? S’ it something I’m doing wrong?” He asks you, softly. Nudging his nose against yours and embarrassment fills you. It’s not like you didn’t want him, you’ve just never…. So you don’t exactly know how to go further and the last thing you want is for him to think he’s the problem.
“N-no. I haven’t…or yet-“ you let out a frustrated sigh and try to best convey what you’re trying to say, “nobody’s-er..I mean, I’ve never gotten this far…” your voice trails off and John freezes as it dawns on him. Suddenly your shyness makes a whole new kind of sense and now he’s harder than a full day of 9 hour drills on 45 minutes of sleep when he asks,
“You’re a virgin?”
You duck your face into his chest, shifting in embarrassment. John groans when you move on his erection and you’re struggling with the feelings the sound arises in you.
“Yes..but it’s not for total lack of interest-! I just don’t know how to, you know, and there was never anyone I liked enough to let them-” Bucky cuts you off with a searing kiss, taking your breath away as his tongue ravages your mouth before he pulls away.
“Sorry, shit…,” he clears his throat and your reeling, “if you want to, we can. But if you don’t, that’s fine.” Bucky’s turned on something fierce but he wants you to be comfortable more than anything, so he’s giving you an out.
But you want him, no out needed.
You’re shy when you look up at him through your lashes, making John’s blood hot.
“..and if I want to? And what if I want you to show me?” He sucks in a sharp breath, you were more tempting than you knew, leaning down to whisper against your lips.
“Then I could help…”
This time, you’re the one to kiss him first. The slow, tentative, almost sweet movements of your mouth drive him wild. Bucky sets a hand on your waist and squeezes making a shudder wrack through your body. He kisses you back a little harder and eventually your falling into a easy rhythm, your hips unconsciously rolling into his, moaning in unison at how good he feels bumping into your pussy. You pull away slowly, looking into his eyes as your heart pounds.
“What now?” Bucky curses at how innocent you sound, needing him to show you. Suckling wet kisses down your throat, you gasp when he rasps a deep ‘lay down’ in your ear.
Pillows surround you as you look up at his broad body on yours, clenching your thighs together with nerves filling you. John raises to his feet to undress, getting completely naked and your dizzy as you take him in.
Crawling back on top of you, he’s back to kissing your neck, hot tongue laving over your cleavage. Your back arches and you whine at him. He tugs the hem of your dress and you nod eagerly. You’re naked in less than a minute with him licking down your body as you melt under him, breathless cries of pleasure spilling from your throat.
Bucky’s hands are everywhere, setting your body on fire before spreading your legs. Looking at your tight, dripping hole, and you look utterly delicious.
“You’re so perfect, bunny. So wet f’me…anyone ever kiss you here?” You’re shaking due to how anxious you are but you’ve never wanted anything more.
“No…no one’s t-touched me there”, Bucky groans and can’t hold back anymore, mind gone as he swallows you whole.
He doesn’t give you time to adjust to the sensations before he’s licking you up and thrusting his tongue inside your sopping cunt, mouth moving in tandem with his sucks. Pleasure ricochets through you sharp enough to leave you gasping for air.
“Oh god!” You cry out for him, fingers twisting in the sheets. “Buckyy-! Please!”
You don’t even know what you’re begging for but Bucky seems to and he can’t ignore your request, not when you’re breathing it so sweetly below him, voice wavering, syllables drawn out as though you can’t quite stop herself. He continues slipping his tongue in and out of you, jaw widening as he curls it up inside you. You’re beyond wet and the taste of you is sharp in his mouth, filling his senses and his cock with its headiness. He feels your thighs shaking on either side of his head, the muscles twitching as you raise your hips and meet his thrusts halfway, and he knows you won’t last long.
When he draws his tongue out, you sigh, the sound high and almost keening, but it turns silent as he slides his mouth over your clit and sucks gently. It drives him half-mad to know he’s giving you so much pleasure and it’s his own selfishness that compels him to slip two fingers inside of you, battering his thick fingers right against somewhere you never even felt before and watch you fall apart.
“What-! Oooh-oh my GOD! Bucky!” You moan his name, drawing it out as you jerk and push against his mouth and hand, coming with a squeeze of the muscles around his fingers until you drop your hips back to the bed, body slumped in pure exhaustion.
He pulls away, dropping a kiss to the knee over his shoulder before slotting himself between your thighs. Sliding himself in your juices.
“How do you feel, angel?” He coos and you’re in heaven. You feel so good you worry you’ll float away before you can go all the way.
“So good…you feel so good”, your honeyed voice praises him before motioning him down for another heated kiss, tasting yourself on his tongue as the muscle fills your mouth until he’s pulling away.
“Good. Now, I go inside of you. It’ll probably hurt a bit at first but after, it’ll feel so good,” he pauses at the worried look that crosses your face when he says hurt but he’s quick to soothe you, “but if you want me stop at any time, just say the words. Okay, sweetness?”
Taking a deep breath, you nod and Bucky holds your hand as he slides in.
It burns.
The pressure alone makes you lose your breath while you grip his hand, scrunching your eyebrows through the seemingly never ending stretch.
Bucky leans down to suckle at your sweet spot behind your ear, bottoming out as you gasped and shivered beneath him. Rolling his hips softly into yours to slowly get you used to the intrusion, he closes his eyes to try and calm himself. You were so soft and warm and so goddamn wet, choking his cock with your walls.
You shift your hips up to get comfortable, making Bucky hit your clit with each rock and you choke. The simmering heat suddenly boiling, while you squeal, getting his attention.
“Move, please”, and he’s unsure.
“Move?”
“Yes! More-!”
You’re cut off as he suddenly pulls out before slamming back in, the fat head of his cock kissing your g-spot with each thrust, you’re leaking like a faucet. You really didn’t need to tell him twice. He’s been wanting to fold you in half the minute he laid eyes on you in the med center.
Gripping your hips in both hands he draws out his cock, greasy and dripping in a mix of your juices, until only the head is spreading your deliciously raw hole open. Then he slams in, hard, sending the most gorgeous shriek rolling from his pretty nurse’s tongue. Your body shakes with dry, heaving sobs, insides fluttering and clenching impossibly tight.
“John, so-s m’ ah! Biiiig!” Your slurred voice drawls listlessly. The pleasure has your mind fading. As soon as Bucky laid hands on you, your brain had switched off, leaving you registering only the most carnal of sensations. Your fingers grapple weakly at the bed, floating away entirely.
You’ll never be the same after this. You don’t want to be. Is this what you were missing?
John groans over your, powerful hips starting up an unforgiving pace. With each thrust you grow limper, melting like warm cream beneath his hands.
“John,” you whine, thrusting his hips back against the bruising thrusts. “So good, please, deeper –,”
“Yeah? Whatever you want, y’ so good f’me baby,” Bucky growls. He grips your hips and bends himself over the your pliant form, using his weight to drive the full force of his thrusts deep into your spasming pussy, licking a rough, wet stripe from your erect nipples to your neck. At the shift of angle you let out a weak scream, shoulders shuddering. “You were made for me.” All his. “Say it baby…”
“I was made for you!” You cry, voice hoarse. “I think-! S-somethings! I’m-unghh –,”
“Fuck-! Just like that baby, wet my dick up..”
And just like that you’re cumming. Clenching so tight he can’t breathe.
John’s mouth hangs open as he gasps for air, drawing deep, ragged pants as he fucks hard and fast into you, sweat coursing over his skin. He’s coming then, melting along with you.
His muscles pull tight while he fills you up as he feels you cum again below him; for all the life he just railed out of you, he half expects you to begin foaming at the mouth, but all that spills from your pretty lips is drool. Your cute face contorted in pleasure, hair glowing and dishevelled, body shining and slick with sweat and cum as you twitch beneath him, hips humping wildly on his cock, spraying that sweet liquid, drenching you both to the point where you’re dripping all over the bed.
A sound leaves you – soft and breathy – as he slips out of your dripping hole, pulling you on top of him, waiting for you to catch your breath.
It’s a while until your soul finds its way back to your body, but when it does, you’re beaming at him drowsily from ear to ear. John huffs out a chuckle, leaning up to kiss you between your eyes. Asking the same question as earlier.
“How do you feel? Anything hurtin’?”
You shake your head and snuggle back into his chest, relaxed like never before.
“Mmmhm, I’m good. Great, even..sleepy too.” He hums, he could’ve figured that.
“Then sleep, sweet girl. I’ll be here when you wake up.”

hi ~ I wanted to request a headcanon series of Jameson as a boy dad 🥺 is it possible for you..? thanks
jameson as a boy dad head canons
yessss! if jamie were to have kids, he would most definitely be a boy dad. might be shitty bc i feel like dog shit (someone kill me pls, since when do colds last so long). hope you like them <3
they would always be pranking avery. they'd sneak up on her wearing masks they think are scary trying to catch her off guard.
i can imagine his son having brown hair and super bright green eyes. he'd have jameson's facial features, but would have avery's eye shape (or smth like that).
jameson would make sure his son doesn't take their money for granted bc its important to avery and him (espcially avery bc she grew up poor).
they would have matching halloween costumes when he was young. they'd dress up as marvel superheroes or stuff like that.
jameson loves taking pictures of them together or of just his son. he keeps a photo album with the pictures of him from all ages. (the picture book sort of looks like a scrap book. jameson will sit on the floor with the glue and glitter pens decorating the book)
he'd for sure teach his son karate or some form of self defense. he'd want him to know how to take care of himself (or others).
i can see him crying at his son's graduation.
they'll go out on little trips to the mall to buy gifts for avery to show her she's appreciated and loved.
he'd make sure his son knows he's special, and doesn't have to 'prove' himself like jameson had to do with his grandfather.
he would be the cool dad. all of his son's friends would want to come over to his place bc they love his dad sm.
he built him a tree house like the one he had when he was younger.
he would have so much fun buying cute little outfits for his son. he'd lie in bed at night with his laptop scrolling online until he found something he liked
he'd be scared to hold him the first time. he'd look at him and think about how fragile he was and he'd be afraid of 'breaking' him.
when his son tells him things like he'd the best dad in the world, jamie acts chill but is secretly crying on the inside bc he has this fear of being a horrible father (he didn't grow up with one and his grandfather wasn't exemplary).
when avery was pregnant with their son, he would lie his head on her belly and talk to him
his son loves his father's piggy back rides, and, he won't admit it, but he loves it when he kisses his forehead.
his first word would be dada (or smth really stupid like your mom bc xander always says it) (i said this in my grayson as a girl dad post but.. this applies to jamie too)
he would literally be so scared for his son whenever he fell off his bike. he would encourage him to have fun and take risks, but the second he bangs his head on smth or scrapes his knee, jamie is by his side in an instant trying to make him feel better. (and taking care of his wounds)
his son used to be obsessed with princess dresses. he once begged jamie to get him a spiderman themed dress so jamie got one custom made for him
he'd always make his dad drawings. their fridge is filled with drawings his son made for him. he cries a little bit every morning when he gets his coffee and breakfast and sees the fridge.
jamie got him one of those fake toy steering wheels to put in their car bc his son wanted to learn how to drive (he was like 7 at the time).
when his son was a baby, he'd be terrified that he was sick or smth. he'd see a small mole on his rib and think he was dying.
his son grew up to be one of those boys at school that's not necessarily popular, but who's friendly with everyone and people love him for it (and just him in general) (jamie is so proud)
jamie taught his son how to do his hair properly bc his son has this really wavy, unruly hair that looks like dogshit if he doesn't style it (avery was exasperated and forced jamie to do smth about it)
i hc that jamie knows how to play the electric guitar and i can totally see him and his son playing together.
his son doesn't give a fuck what others have to say, he loves his dad and loves spending time with him. he's never too 'cool' to spend time with his dad and honestly doesn't really like people who don't like spending time with their parents (if they have nice parents, obviously he doesn't want his friends to hang out with their parents if they're abusive)
they love going out on motorcycle rides together (they don't talk, they just drive around)
as a kid, he used to dress up exactly like his dad. he had a mini version of everything his father owned. they'd post pics on insta and fans would simp over jamie cause he was so cute.
he's the type of dad who rarely gets mad at his son. he wouldn't get mad if his son snuck out to go to the bar with his friends and needed someone to pick him up. he'd get out of bed and drive over without asking questions
his son was obsessed with his dad as a kid. he'd ask for his approval for everything and would look up at him like he'd hung the moon for him all of the time
i really liked making this. might make a part two.

Glass in the Ocean[P3]
You find yourself visiting the shore again for… Whatever reason.
- thank you all again for your support!! apologies for the somewhat late chapter, had a family emergency to take care of. If you all have any questions about more of my mer lore, feel free to drop me an ask! i'll be sprinkling more tidbits as the story goes along, but i'm always open to receiving asks and talking about it more! helps me to world build too hehe Cross-Posted on AO3!
Warnings: Mentions of self harm(NOT for the reader or anyone else; Mentioned in reader's passing thoughts regarding a situation) Words: ~5.8k Tags in the comments! Ask to be added to the taglist! P1 | P2 | P3
You head back up the stairs, put away everything you don’t need inside, put the key in your bike, and are off to the town. It’s a Wednesday, so it’s fairly quiet. There’s tourists, of course, but you know it’s not bustling like it would be on the weekends. Still, you need to traverse carefully around people, trying not to barrel into anyone or knock them over. It’s not very often you ride a bike around, so you’re getting your sea legs back, so to speak. 
The first few shops you visit are grocery. There’s only a couple, but you’re sure to take a note of what they keep in stock, and what you may need to order from elsewhere. The next places are for clothing. Everything is fairly expensive, to no surprise, but there’s some cheaper options too for more practical items. You can’t help but to buy a beautiful flowing gown, and although it’s pricey, you’re excited to wear it at some point. After that, you find a shop that helps to supply your grandparents with a few things they needed for their own business. You stop by to say hello to your grandmother as she runs her shop. You’d asked if she’d wanted help, but she just insisted you look around more, so you continued on your way. 
You finally just let yourself peruse the various shops, grabbing some lunch after looking at the important ones first. Thankfully, it wasn’t all seafood that was served at every single place. There was definitely some variety, which you were grateful for. It was finally late afternoon when you decided to head back. You’d picked up a few things at the grocer to cook for dinner, including a little box of chocolate covered seafoam candy. You took it slow, trying to adjust to having items in your basket. The bike was electric, so thankfully it was a little more sturdy, but it still had a bit of a pull when you would turn certain ways. 
Arriving back home, you found your eyes once more drifting to the ocean. All quiet. Not a single sign of mers. You were beginning to wonder if you had dreamt about the entire thing– Both encounters. You felt relatively calm around the whole thing, now, thankfully. Maybe talking with Connor had put you at ease… Then you remembered his brother. The one from today. You shuddered a bit at the thought. He looked like he was more than willing to eat you if there was nothing else around. Yep, definitely not swimming anytime soon. 
After securing the bike, you walked inside, beginning to work on cooking the tilapia and vegetables you’d bought. You turned on some music while you worked, humming along to the beat as you chopped and sauced everything. You were used to being alone, doing the same routine like this almost nightly. It could definitely be a lonely lifestyle, but it was one you didn’t really mind. You had so much freedom with it, after all. 
Your grandmother was home by the time you had finished cooking dinner, and you set everything down on the table. “This smells delicious, dear, thank you. Where did you learn to cook?” She asks as you settle down as well, cutting a piece of fish off with your fork. 
“Little from mom, mostly from online videos.” You admit, taking a bite of your meal with a pleased hum. The fish was so fresh and tender. It was actually probably one of the best pieces of fish you’d cooked in your life, and you could only assume part of it was due to it being so local. Your grandmother took a bite as well, a pleased hum leaving her lips as she swallowed, offering you a smile. 
“Well, I’ll say, this is excellent! If you do move in here, consider rent paid with dinner. This is as good as where we ate last night.” She beams, and you laugh, feeling your cheeks heat up at the compliment. 
“Please, this isn’t as good as your food.” You tease, and she just chuckles with a shake of her head as she goes in for another mouthful. “Did you get a lot of people in the shop today?” You ask, eating some more, and she offers a resigned sigh after she swallows. 
“A little more than normal, but a lot of it was condolences because of the service. I will say, I think it did increase sales output. Thank goodness you’re here, we’re very much going to need to restock soon.” She murmurs, shaking her head again as you merely smile.
“It’s why I’m here. I think maybe we should do some work here tomorrow, then open for the weekend, then close for a couple of days to restock what we can.” You suggest, and she contemplates your idea while chewing. 
“I think that’s an excellent idea, dear. Yes, let’s do that.” She agrees, and you beam at the prospect of a good suggestion before the both of you finish up your dinner. You both clean up, and although your grandmother is talking, you find your mind wandering. And it’s wandering back down to the water. There’s a certain draw  it’s beginning to have now, which is both a little confusing and concerning for you. You try to push it out of your mind, wondering why your brain is insistent on going back towards danger, but it seems that you can’t ignore it. Soon enough, you find yourself with a small, portable light in your hand, your earbuds, and your box of candy as you head back down to the beach. 
You head back over to where you were earlier. It’s dusk, the last of the orange in the sky beginning to fade out. Thankfully, the light you have provides plenty in its soft glow. You unroll the towel tucked under your arm, setting it down as you sit cross legged on it. You slip your now cleaned earbuds in, turning on some music as you watch the water and open your box of candy. You truly do wonder why your body is craving the sensation of sitting by the ocean so suddenly, despite the fear of what had just happened, and you realized that it’s probably because you’re trying to work through the trauma. Your mind is certainly crafty, putting you close to things you fear. 
You munch on your second sweet, nearly jumping into the air as something breaks the surface of the water. There’s a wide smile on his face, and you almost think it’s Connor, for a second. The more muted blue of the tail, though, gives the fact away that it’s definitely his brother. You can feel your heart rate pick up a bit, but you’re uncertain whether it’s out of fear, or… Or what? Surely it must just be from being startled. 
You take out your earbuds, setting them on the towel as you see he’s trying to talk to you. He says your name, and it’s a little surprising, only to realize that Connor must have passed it along. “You came back down; I knew you would. Connor had his doubts, but I didn’t doubt you for a second.” He smirks, pulling himself up on the shore a bit. You find yourself subconsciously shifting backwards, despite the length between you two, but don’t make a move or comment yet. His eyes catch onto the bandages wrapped around your ankle, and the mirth on his face seems to fall a bit. You can see something akin to remorse flash on his features in the soft light, and you wait for an apology, but instead he just says, “Connor said you both talked earlier. You’re practically friends now, right?” He’s looking cocky again, lips curling up as he rolls onto his stomach. 
You don’t know how to feel. An apology would be nice, but you’re not sure you’re getting one. You set your lips in a thin line, not looking particularly pleased as you answer, “I think ‘acquaintances’ is a better term, and even that is pushing it.” You admit, and he just chuckles, rolling his eyes as his tail briefly flicks up from the water. 
“Sure, sure. My name’s Sixty, by the way.” He says, and you raise a brow at the peculiar name. You’d expected something like Connor’s, not… A number. 
“How’d you get it?” You ask, and he just shrugs. 
“It’s the only name I remember I was given. Connor was given Fifty, but he decided to change his name. Nines was Ninety, which I think he’s attached to as well, considering he didn’t fully rename himself, but he just purely goes by Nines now.” The confusion is evident on your face at his explanation. These were all… Numbers. A name he was given… A sudden thought crosses your mind. 
“Were you in captivity?” You ask, frowning slightly, and Sixty seems to grow a bit defensive at the question. He just scoffs, rolling his shoulders. 
“No.” He says, sounding offended. There’s quiet, then a soft, “Maybe.” Your frown deepens a bit, and you can’t help the sympathetic wave that shoots through you. You know that mers that are held captive are, more often than not, used for study and experimentation. There’s a few put into aquariums, but if they’re not highly drugged, there’s a pretty good chance they find a way to kill themselves in the first couple weeks. You wonder what their case was. “Doesn’t matter.” He says, brusquely, moving on as he then asks you a question. “What are you eating?” He leans forward a bit, as if it would give him a better look. 
“Seafoam candy.” You respond, and bemusement instantly crosses over his face. 
“What’s that? Does it have chocolate?” His eyes suddenly light up, and you blink at the new air about him. 
“Yes. Does your human not give you chocolate?” You ask, and he wrinkles his nose at your phrasing. 
“He’s not ‘our human’. He doesn’t own us.” He scoffs, and you put your hands up a bit, placatingly. “He doesn’t give us human sweets, though. One time, he gave some to us when we were younger. It made Nines very sick, so he doesn’t feed us a lot of human food anymore. Afraid it’s going to hurt us, even though I keep insisting it’s going to be fine.” He rolls his eyes, and you’re suddenly unsure, now, if you even want to feed him anything. He can spot the uncertainty in your gaze, and he just groans, flopping onto his side. “Come ooon. Don’t be like him. Give me a piece. Please?” He begs, rolling back up, using those goddamn puppy eyes you fell for this time. 
Except, now, you were far away from him. And if you gave this to him, the only person it could harm is himself, so… You were willing to take that gamble. Not like you wanted to see him get sick, but… He had hurt you. You were petty, alright? “Fine.” You declare, and his smile widens as you pick out a piece and toss it to him. He catches it with surprising deftness, rolling onto his back as he peers at it with what you assume is awe on his face. With it being dark, now, and him being so far, it’s a little hard to tell. 
He pops the whole thing into his mouth, his eyes widening in surprise as he chews. He rolls back onto his stomach, making a face the more he chews, and you’re not entirely certain he likes it. He finally swallows, and sticks his tongue out, lip curling up a bit, before you can see his cheeks puff out a bit as he tries to likely get the candy out from between his teeth. “Thish ish– Chocolate?” He glowers, nose scrunched up, and you can’t help but to softly giggle at the sight. 
“Only the outside shell was. The inside is made of sugar, vinegar and corn syrup. They make it in a way where it’s kind of fluffy and spongy. It’s sort of supposed to be a mix of a meringue and toffee and kinda honeycomb… Not like you know what any of those are, probably.” You sigh out, realizing you’re just beginning to waste your breath. He’s still trying to get the substance out from his teeth, and hisses in annoyance, an irritable click leaving his throat. You only feel a little bad as you watch his frustrations, amusement coming to your own face as well, now. He even goes as far as to roll away and back into the water, and you take the time to open your phone and look through it. 
A couple minutes later he pops back up, his nose scrunched up. “Yeah. That sucked. I don’t wanna try that again. Can you bring me just chocolate next time?” He asks, and you blink at the forward request, a little surprised. 
“Who said anything about a next time? I don’t live here, after all.” You say, and it’s his turn to look surprised. 
“You don’t? I thought you just moved here.” He asks, glancing up towards your current residence. It’s a little far away, still, but you can barely see part of it over the hill where the balcony is. 
“No. I’m just here temporarily.” You reply, and you can see his body almost deflate at the information. 
“Oh.” His voice is flat, and there’s a look on his face which you can determine is likely disappointment. It raises your next question. 
“Why did you bother me yesterday? I know you guys like to be secretive. What pushed you into waking me up?” You ask, eyeing him intently now, but it’s Sixty’s turn to be unable to meet your gaze. He squirms a bit, back on his stomach, pushing a few strands of wet hair out of his face that just inevitably fall back into their spot. 
“I don’t know.” He admits, and you feel frustration start to mount in you, now. Connor had given the same answer. “It’s hard to explain, but I just… It felt like something was pushing me to do it. I swam by, peeked out, saw you, caught your scent, and I… I just knew I needed to talk to you.” He’s still frowning, as if he’s confused by this whole phenomena too. He looks back to you, and you don’t quite know how to feel. You didn’t think he was lying. He didn’t seem to be. It felt like a flimsy excuse, though. 
“What if I went and told someone?” You couldn’t help but to ask, voice quiet. His tone holds an equally quiet note as he replies. 
“You didn’t, though, did you?” There’s a hint of a challenge in his eyes, giving you a pause before you speak again. He’s right. You didn’t. Deep down, too, you knew you probably still wouldn’t. 
“How long have you all been here for?” You ask, uncrossing your legs as they begin to ache. You let your ankles cross over one another, mindful of your scratched up one. 
“Few years. Four, I think.” He replies, seeming to relax just a bit more. “It’s nice, this area. You don’t get a whole lot of explorers down here, even if it’s considered safe, just because of the residences along the coast. Namely, yours.” He admits, jerking his head back towards where your grandmother’s house is there. That house is the first along the scattered line. “So, then. Why are you ‘temporarily’ here?” The word has a certain inflection to it, like he’s not quite sure he believes you. Not like you care, but you find it a little funny. 
“I’m helping my grandmother for a while. My grandfather just recently passed away.” You explain, and there’s a bit of confusion on his features. Oh, right. You’re not sure what phrases they’re aware of. “He died.” You correct, and the look drops to more of a brief stint of pain. 
“I’m sorry to hear that. So you’re not here visiting, then, like everyone else.” He waves a hand towards the town, and you shake your head. 
“No, I’m not a tourist. I’m going to help her run her shop until she can find someone to help her more permanently.” You state, and he looks confused once again at your statement, making you wonder what you should have worded differently.
“Why don’t you just help her permanently?” He asks. Ah, that makes more sense. Mers were very family inclined. Their pods could get quite large due to it, sometimes up to the twenties; Rarely the thirties. 
“Well, I have a career.” You start to explain, letting a hand drift down and settle in the sand. “I’ve spent a good chunk of my adult life trying to get to where I am now. It’s not so easy to just leave that and pursue something like this.”
“I mean. Sounds pretty easy to me.” Sixty shrugs, flopping onto his back. You see his fin squish out on the side of his back, and he tucks his arms behind his head, tilting it back a bit to peer at you. “Humans are flippant.”
“That’s a big word.” You find yourself teasing, gently. It catches you off guard, but it doesn't bother him. If anything, it just makes his smile bigger. Clearly, you’re beginning to grow more relaxed. You don’t know how you feel about that. 
“Yeah, yeah, fish brain. I’m serious, though. I hear humans will just leave and start anew all the time. I hear they can have whole families and abandon them on a whim for something– Or someone– Else.” His lips curl in distaste at the thought, and you grimace, peering down at your toes. 
“You’re… Not wrong. Not all humans are like that, though. A lot are very loyal. Whether it’s to their spouse, or job, or family, or even their pet. I know if I had a cat or something, and my house was on fire, I don’t think I’d leave until I knew it was safe.” You comment. Sixty eyes you, a curious look on his upside down face, before he rolls over onto his front. 
“You say that not all humans are like that, and yet you were so quick to assume yesterday that I was going to hurt you.” He states. You feel your cheeks heat up a bit at the implication, and for a moment, you don’t know what to say because he’s right. You had just made assumptions based on all of the data gathered. 
“I-I mean–” you stutter, and another smirk plasters itself on his face as he sees your clear discomfort. You’re certainly not an innocent party, but neither is he. “You nearly proved my assumptions by dragging me into the water!” You counter, and he just scoffs and rolls his eyes, tail flicking from the water once more only to loudly slap down on it. 
“You’re still on that? You know I wasn’t going to actually hurt you.” He counters, and any embarrassment you were feeling has begun to give way to irritation. 
“No, actually, I didn’t know that! You were exhibiting all the signs of a mer who was trying to lure me in and drown me!” You snip out, feeling your metaphorical feathers bristling at his insistence. 
“And what, may I ask, are those signs?” He grins, resting his head in his hand as he peers at you from afar. 
“You were being nice, which is a huge red flag right from the getgo from a mer to a human,” You start, holding out your hand and counting with your fingers. “You offered to help me. You asked me about myself. You tried to gain my trust. Need I go on?” The statement is finished with an annoyed flourish of your hands, before you slap them back down onto your thighs. He clicks his tongue, raising an unimpressed brow. 
“Really? That’s what humans assume we’re doing when we want to gnaw on someone?” He asks, voice flat, and your frown mars further across your lips. 
“Yes. It’s literally proven data.” You counter. 
“By who?” Comes his own counter. 
“By those who have been dragged to sea by mers.” 
“You mean the people who are dead?” 
You open your mouth. Then close it. He has a point…
“I assume by those who were attacked and lived to tell the tale.” You bite out, and he sneers. 
“There you go. Assuming again. Is that a typical human trait?” He tilts his head to the side, and you’ve found that your patience has officially ran out. It’s getting late now, anyways, and you’re sitting here talking to a mer. Sixty laughs a bit, and good Lord it’s way too charming. “You’re cute when you’re flustered.” 
“I’m done.” You announce, abruptly getting to your feet. You tuck your earbuds and phone away, grabbing your towel and whip the sand off of it. 
“Oh, come on, we were just getting started! It isn’t even moonhigh yet!” He counters as you roll up your towel, tucking it back under your arm, grabbing up your boxed candy shortly after.
“Goodnight.” You say, turning and marching off without even looking at him. 
“Come back soon, okay? And come swim! I won’t drag you out again, I promise! It’ll be a lotta fun!” He calls after you, and you just roll your eyes. No shot that was happening. 
Despite your stubborn demeanor as you try to forget about the mers while getting settled for bed, you find that they just won’t leave your mind once you’re settled beneath your covers. Connor’s pleasant, polite demeanor. Sixty’s snarky, but funny attitude. Then, there was Nines… Although he was a complete mystery to you, and only regarded you with cold, untrusting stares… You couldn’t help but to think about him as well. You wondered if he was like either of his brothers; He certainly didn’t seem like that. It was clear he spent a lot more time underwater than the two of them, given the complexion of his skin tone. Perhaps you’d be able to actually talk with him one day.
You nearly slapped a palm to your forehead. Why were you wanting to actually converse more with mers? They were dangerous creatures! They were going through an awful lot of trouble to try and butter you up for a meal, though… Maybe that was because they couldn’t get too close to the town, and he mentioned others never wandered out here. You just happened to be the first idiot that did in a long while. You wondered how long they’d been wanting to taste human meat. 
Then, you thought about the supposed human that had helped to take care of them. The one you weren’t supposed to know about. He lived not too far, apparently. Maybe one of these days you could take a trip out, try and figure out who it was, and talk to him. Get a better feeling for the brothers. After all, if they weren’t lying, and this guy actually vouched for them… Maybe, perhaps, things could be different. You highly doubted this man would be trying to trick and feed humans to mers, after all. He’d have nothing to get out of it. 
You turned over in your bed with a sigh, closing your eyes to will yourself to sleep. It finally did come, and although your dreams were a little cryptic with flashes of you swimming and beings swirling around you, they weren’t nightmare inducing. You woke up early that morning, earlier than normal. Although still bleary with sleep, you decided to get up and start your day off with a nice breakfast and some work. 
You think about making a big enough breakfast for yourself and your grandmother, but scrolling through your emails on your phone makes you think otherwise as you see how much there is to deal with. Resigned, you grab some fruit salad from yesterday, make some toast and coffee, and call it good as you settle on the dining room table. You open up your computer, munching as you scroll through and answer emails. The work is mind numbing, and you sit there for an hour and a half just doing that until your grandmother comes out to make herself some breakfast and coffee as well. She tells you that you that she wants to get started in an hour and a half, which gives you time to catch up on more work. 
…Except, after another half hour of whittling away at it, you can’t help but to let your eyes gravitate towards the window. The sparkling ocean greets you in the early morning, a slight fog settling over it. Still, you feel a certain pull towards it that you definitely hadn’t before. Not to swim, but to just… Be around it. You think about the mer brothers, and you feel something squeeze in your chest at the thought. You were trying to distance yourself more from them, but to your surprise and slight horror, you found it was actually becoming difficult. It seemed, now, that you actually wanted to seek them out. You lightly tapped your thumb on the spacebar of your laptop, chewing on your lip. 
Just a quick trip. You decided, getting to your feet. You closed your computer, changing into something you’d wear for the rest of the day. You glanced at a couple pieces of leftover fruit in your bowl, and decided to bring it with you. The thought crossed your mind; Had any of them ever had fruit before? They must have. After all, fruit was considered healthy, and you were sure that their human friend gave them such. Plus, this was fruit salad. It had a dressing on it. Why you were even thinking too hard on this was really beyond you, or why you were heading down barefoot to the beach with that bowl in your hand was just something beyond your comprehension. It was clearly happening, though. You wondered if anyone would even be out this early… Connor was yesterday. What were the odds of them skulking around two days in a row, though?
Heading back to your usual spot, you managed to catch a glimpse of something in the water, quite far from where you were. It was a faint shimmer of something, a little difficult to see with the mild fog that spread across. As you kneeled down in the sand, though, you could see another flicker once more. Something crested. Was that a tail? You were certain it was. Your suspicions were confirmed, true, as moments later you saw a body swim in the shallow water, breaking the surface shortly after. The more vibrant tail colors immediately tipped you off to it being Connor, and he offered you a bright grin. It was infectious, you insisted, as you smiled back. He said your name, looking quite pleased to see you here. “What brings you down here this morning?” He asks, and that’s when you find yourself short on an answer. Why were you here?
“I… Guess I just felt like coming down and watching the sunrise.” You admit. It’s not a full lie. The sun is still rising; It’s only seven in the morning, after all. 
“It’s a little difficult to see it today.” Connor admits, frowning somewhat as he glances back over the ocean, still lightly shrouded in mist. “I’m still glad you’re here, though.” He looks back, smiling once more, and the shy smile returns to your face with a faint heat coming to your cheeks. “What’s that you have?” He asks, curious as he eyes the bowl in your hand. Right, you’d nearly forgotten about it. 
“It's a fruit salad. Would you like to try a piece?” You offer, watching him perk up similarly to how Sixty had last night. 
“Yes, please.” He responds, eagerly. You take a piece out of the bowl– A nice thick apple chunk– And toss it his way. He’s quick like Sixty is, watching with a sharp eye and snatching the fruit out of the air. He takes a moment to sniff it, before giving it a curious lick, and finally pops it into his mouth. His eyes widen as he chews on it, an appreciative hum coming from his chest. “I’ve never had a fruit that tastes like that before.” He admits after he swallows, peering back at you, an eager look in his eyes for more. “What was it?”
“It was just an apple, but it’s covered in a dressing. It’s yogurt, vanilla, and a little bit of marshmallow.” You explain, and you can faintly see the fin on his back quiver. 
“Can I… Have more? Please?” He asks, a little shyly, and you look down at the bowl. There’s still a few pieces left. You’re about to pick up another one, before you find yourself pausing. You glance to him, and then the bowl, before slowly getting to your feet. Connor watches your every move, his eye widening a bit, but you can see a certain sharpness to them that wasn’t there before. Now, you’re suddenly uncertain of who is more wary of the other. He’d seemed so kind yesterday, and today as well, but this doesn’t make you forget that he’s a wild sea creature who’s ready to bite at any second. You’re certain that he doesn’t forget you’re a human, either, who killed many of his kind. It was obvious who had the upperhand in this situation, but despite how friendly he was, there would probably always be that constant reminder between you both about who you each were. 
At the very least, though, he didn’t look primed to attack. His muscles were tense, sure, but it was clear he intended to flee at the very moment of danger. For some reason, the thought made your chest ache just a bit. Perhaps you didn’t want him to be afraid of you, but… You hadn’t extended the same courtesy to them. Maybe that’s why, against all of your gut instinct, you found yourself shuffling a bit closer. His eyes never left your body, occasionally flicking up to meet your own. Tepid and uncertain, but not afraid. You were standing about five feet away from him when you came to a halt. Your heart was beginning to race as you thought about him grabbing onto your wrist. Dragging you into the water like his brother had. Only this time, there definitely would not be any saving, because Connor had been your savior. He certainly could be your doom as well. 
With a somewhat hesitant, shaky hand, you offered him the bowl. He looked at you, then the bowl, and slowly reached out. You couldn’t help but to flinch back a bit as his hand raised up, which instantly caused him to recoil. His arm curled in, and he bit his lip, blinking apologetically. “Sorry.” You found yourself murmuring, trying to steel your nerves as you held the bowl back out to him. You remembered his vow. They didn’t kill or eat humans. Really, that remained to be seen, but you were chancing it right now. Again. You just didn’t learn, did you? 
Your arm extended once more, and you kept yourself from flinching as his did, too. You held the lip of the bowl, and he cupped it with his hand. Gosh, he was so large. It was certainly intimidating. Bright, sharp, intelligent eyes that watched your every move as you let go, immediately taking a few steps back. You released the breath you’d been holding, and some of the tension appeared to meld away from both of your bodies. Connor peered down at the bowl, tilting his head to observe the pieces of fruit left inside. He’d delicately pick each piece up, examine it, before eating it. He seemed to grow more and more enthralled with every piece he ate, but alas, there were only a few pieces left. He was soon out, a disappointed look crossing his features as he settled down. 
“That was really good. There was this… Really sweet undertone to it. Something a little more overpowering than other pieces. I really liked it. What was that?” He asks you, curious, as he holds the bowl back out for you to take. You slowly inch forward, timidly taking the bowl from him as you try to think of what he may mean. Whilst grabbing the container, your fingers brush against his own. You both flinch at the sudden contact, causing you to quickly scuttle backwards like you’d been burned. His fingers had been cool to the touch– A bit slick, thanks to the scales. You peered down at your hand, perplexed, and you noticed Connor do the same with his hand. Even though you were further away, you were still close enough to notice a blue tint overtake his cheeks. He looked almost… In awe. 
“Marshmallow.” You finally answer him as you regain your senses and figure out what he’s referring to. He blinks, refocusing on your gaze, and a soft smile comes to his face. 
“Marshmallow… I really like that. If you… Come back… Could you bring me some more? Just the marshmallow?” He asks, hopefully, and the look on his face makes your heart pick up a bit. So. Chocolate for Sixty, marshmallows for Connor… You were really doing this, weren’t you? Well, as long as you kept your distance, you figured this may be a fun use of your downtime. A sudden idea came to mind, which had you smiling just a bit more. 
“Tell you what.” You begin, eyes crinkling. “Tomorrow night, I’ll bring marshmallows, and some other things. Why don’t you invite your brothers as well? It can be a… Party.” You decide, and his eyes light up at the prospect. 
“Really?” Another smile crosses his face, and you nod, still grinning. 
“Yes.” You glance over to the alcove to your left. It would be a good place to shelter from the wind, should there be any tomorrow night. Plus, the more you looked at the water, the more you were able to make out a steep dropoff. It would probably be more comfortable for them to wade water there instead of being partially beached. “At sundown.” You decide, turning your attention back to him, and he’s practically beaming. 
“Okay! I’ll let them know.” His tail flicks up from the water, eager, and you take another step back, glancing back the way you came. 
“Great. I’ll see you tomorrow, then. I need to get going now. Lots of work to do today.” You state, finding the strange feeling of reluctance creeping up inside of you. He appears mildly disappointed as well, smile falling some as he settles his fin back into the sand and sea. 
“Alright. I hope you have a good day. I’ll see you later,” He offers a friendly chirp of your name. You both wave, before you turn and make your way back to your temporary home, ready to learn a new craft.

2014
BERLIN
Steve looks at his friends in the quinjet.
Natasha sits flying the plane, concentrating on the way ahead, Clint sitting next to her.
True partners, he thinks, and he feels a pang for Bucky, wanting what they have in someone to always fall back on. Sam shifts in his chair and nudges Steve.
“Are you okay?” he asks gently.
Tony sits across from him, his arm in plaster, and bruises still visible, though his eyes are closed he knows he’s not asleep.
“I’m fine,” he answers.
Bruce sits on the other side of him, and he can feel his nervousness.
It feels hard to believe it had been less than a week since the infiltration.
Christmas was fast approaching.
So was the wedding… if there was going to be one.
Happiness had felt just around the corner.
Until it wasn’t.
He wants this to be over.
“How long?” he calls.
“Thirty minutes,” Natasha replies immediately.
.
There’s a castle in the middle of the forest.
It’s picturesque and Tony thinks that it’s probably a place he’d like to buy if it wasn’t swarming with Hydra operatives.
He grins to himself, sends the address and cloaking codes and tells Pepper to buy it.
Jarvis guides Tony, and he flies high over the others.
The Iron Legion flies around, two either side of him.
Natasha drives, towards the base, Clint in tow; whilst Steve circles around on his bike. Bruce remains in the jet, ready to go if needed.
He’d apologised but they’d all reassured him that this was for the best.
Tony hoped that they wouldn’t need him.
He saw the toll it took on Bruce, the pain of the aftermath. He felt oddly protective of his friend and shielding him from the pain of his life.
He shoots the first missile at the tower, the deflection hitting; as Jarvis tells him that there’s a shield over it.
“Thanks Captain Obvious,” he says sarcastically, sending the other four suits to provide back up for the others as Natasha and Clint meet a small resistance.
They surge forward, with no regard for safety.
He watches Natasha smile.
Flying back to Steve, he has Jarvis scan the building again.
“Basement floor,” he confirms.
Relaying the information to the others, he finds the building junction box and sets his own directional EMP.
“See how you like it,” he mutters.
.
Sam flies overhead, seeing all the electricity leave the castle and the panic of a couple of soldiers below. Tony sends the coordinates to his HUD display and he smiles, flies low to Steve and yells.
“Basement! He’s in the basement!”
Tony lands and Sam nods.
“There’s not as many as I thought,” Sam says, heading through the entrance door.
“No,” Tony thinks, “there’s not.”
Steve, Natasha and Clint catch up.
“It seems quiet,” Natasha observes.
Even more-so, as they traverse into the castle.
They come up against one more, that Steve throws his shield at, knocking him out.
The head down; Tony heading their formation, as there’s… no one.
No one comes to greet them and as they move further down, the sense of unease deepens.
Natasha’s grip on her gun tightens.
Clint’s arrow raises higher and Steve stands side by side with Tony, shield in front of him and Sam.
They reach the door, Jarvis confirming that someone is inside and communicate non verbally with each other.
Tony blows the door.
The dust clears and reveals… nothing.
“Jarvis?” he says, a warning tone.
Steve steps forward and stands on a plate, much like the ones at the base of the Avengers Tower.
“Shit,” he says, stepping off and protecting the others from an inevitable blast; only it doesn’t come.
“What was that?” Sam laughs, as he heads into the room behind Steve and Tony, seeing the hallway leading further down.
When they’re all in the room, the door slams behind them, and Tony rolls his eyes.
“It’s not like we can’t blow a hole in the wall,” he smirks inside the suit.
Jarvis assures again that the only heat signature is from below.
“You’re sure it’s Pogodin?”
Jarvis confirms and Natasha doesn’t feel good about the inevitable trap that lays ahead.
Steve takes the lead.
Pogodin stands ahead of them, arms up and large smile on his face.
“Hello Avengers.”
He puts on a gas mask, his face transforming into one of nightmares.
Tony steps forward.
“Do you know what The Raft is?” he says, threatening.
“Tony—“ Clint starts.
But it’s too late, smoke and gas fill the room and Pogodin laughs manically.
“Do you know what you fear?” he asks, “I know what I fear. It’s certainly not you. I know that whilst you are here, then there’s another team after the sceptre, no one protecting it.”
Tony reaches him, pulling him up with one hand, ripping off the mask.
“It’ll be on a submarine and no way to get it,” he laughs, as Tony throws him against the wall.
“All the want for revenge, and you’ve failed to protect… anything, and it will be your downfall.”
Sam drops first, coughing heavily.
“You didn’t think we knew you would come?”
Sam’s vision blurs and he tries to pull himself to stand, holding onto the wall. Clint is next, and Natasha rushes to him.
He looks at her like she’s a ghost and he touches her face.
“Nat?”
Breathing becomes difficult for all of them except Tony and Steve as more smoke and gas heavily sits in the room.
Tony blows the wall, only to be met with more bedrock.
Pogodin laughs.
“We are in the lower recesses of a castle, where do you think you’re going?”
Tony punches him, his anger rising, again and again with his one good arm and swinging fist, until he’s held back by Steve.
“We need to go,” he says urgently, gesturing to the others.
Natasha points weakly upwards, then raises her gun and shoots Pogodin in the head.
.
Tony holds Clint and Natasha under his arms, depositing them into the quinjet with Bruce.
Both unconscious.
Both sweating.
“Help them,” he says, before flying off to help Steve and Sam.
Urgently, he tries to reach Shield.
Jarvis confirms with Fury that the sceptre is in fact gone and anger curls around him.
He returns with Sam and Steve drives in, all of them back together.
“What happened?” Bruce asks, taking their vitals, as the jet takes off.
“Gas,” Steve says glumly.
“Are you okay?” Bruce asks, checking over Sam.
He sits heavily on the seat next to Tony, and rests his head in his hands.

~ 18:52 ~ I am glad I didn't waste anytime scrolling today, so now I can relax.
I asked a girl I talk with at the climbing gym, if she could go out of her way to take me with her in her car. Because I can't drive and I usually go on my electric bike and today it is been raining heavy all day. Which is great since the temperatures have dropped from usually 27°C at this current hour, to 19°C right now.
I am fighting my feelings of being a nuisance. She is so nice to make me this favor, I feel like I owe her one, and I am feeling so bad, for making her make me this favor. I know she's doing it because she wants to, and because she's a good person... But still, it feels bad. Ugh. I hate asking for favors for this exact reason. But this is how you bond with people, being vurnerable...
It will be okay, I will just be grateful. 🩷
I searched for jobs online, and went through the rain to buy myself some pads (my sister left me without), and climbing shoes.
I had to buy my climbing shoes today no matter what because tomorrow, some people from the gym and I will go rock climbing.
I am so excited! The "friend" (i hope we become closer soon!), who invited me is letting me borrow a vest and a helmet, and everything else.
I am very excited because I always wanted to learn. And I couldn't go tomorrow morning to the shop because it is a national holiday and everythinv will be close.
I got as wet as if I had gone swimming. But anyways, it was fun getting cold in the summer. And I gained time to walk my doggy again.
I am now relaxing and waiting for it to be time to go. 💛
To do:
Tidy up.
Go to the climbing class and be grateful to Amparo to take you there.
Go running with Morgana (my doggy). If it's not raining too much.
~ 21:49 ~ I am grateful that I went with Amparo. I had a great time, in the end the class was just us two. And we always talk a lot and encourage each other. We talked a lot in the trips of going to and coming from the gym, she assured me that it was no big deal to help me. And I had fun talking with her.
I am going to eat a small dinner even though I didn't plan on eating anything else today, because I always get very hungry after climbing class.
I had a snack now, a small empanadilla and I am goinv to finish exer isinc for the day before eating a the same salad as before.
~ 23:44 ~ I finished exercising for the day, and just had my salad for dinner. I sttetched a bit, went on my 10 minute run circuit, did my stretching routine, did a short strength corcuit consistent of 30 push-ups, 30 lounges, and 1 minutes headstand.
The strength circuit was very difficult without any energy left from food, but I still managed.
Then I stretched and made myself the salad.
Now I feel like if I touched my bed I could fall asleep instantly.
I am going to sleep now.

~ Friggin Friday ~
[Story 32]
----------
Prompt: You've been transported to a 2000's live-action Disney movie & your only key to getting is by making the MC's dreams unobtainable through any means necessary. Prompt By: r/wingman66 (Reddit) Started Writing: 07/09/2024
----------
Word of advice: never buy a TV from a witch's garage sale.
Because I've been in this Chinese restaurant since eleven in the morning, downing fortune cookies like cheap shots, looking like an absolute maniac! But the only way outta this C-tier movie is to keep Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan for swapping bodies, and the quickest way to do that is to make sure this place doesn't have any more terrible-tasting mystic fortunes to give…I'm gonna be sick!
|| || || || ||
Ok, so fun fact: if you eat your weight in fortune cookies you will vomit until you pass out. But enough about my ongoing hatred for fortune cookies. Time for plan B! Jamie Lee Curtis, who is now in Lindsay Lohan's body, should be meeting with this world's version of the mean girl trio.
Which doesn't really hit, now that I think about it. Because I know Mean Girls came out in 2004, and Freaky Friday, I think, came out the year before, but whatever!
Regina- I mean…who am I kidding? Her actual name doesn't matter. Regina's about to trick Jamie Lee Lohan into getting gift-wrapped, causing her to stumble over a nearby bike rack and eat grass. However, if my math is right, I should have set in motion a Final Destination-style series of unfortunate events where, instead of landing on soft-ish dirt, Jamie'll get knocked out for hopefully the rest of the movie's run time…
-Pulls Out Phone-
Wow, '09 and '04 again! How do I even know that this movie exists? Wait, that's riiiiiight, Parent Trap and the School Sleepover. Man, those were better days. Why couldn't I get trapped in Parent Trap? Could've been done by now.
-Jamie Lee Lohan screams as she topples over the bike rack onto dirt-
What the-where's the duffle bag of football helmets? Where's the horde of test frogs? What happened to the-
-The school shakes as a muffled explosion goes off, followed by fire alarms-
Oh yeah, forgot about the toilet bombs. Oh, man, I should probably make sure that janitor's okay. Alright, first, help the janitor, and then we slash pretty boy's motorcycle tires.
…probably should have done that first.
|| || || || ||
Ok, so that did not work at all, but on the bright side, Jamie Lee Curtis' character is a pretty good therapist, so I got that going for me.
Anyway, no more, Mr. Subtle. It's the big concert, and I gotta show stopper, and by that, I mean over a thousand dollars in professional-grade fireworks at the heart of the city's electrical grid. Can't rock with no power!
-Laughs maniacally while lighting the fuse-
…wait a minute…these are rockets…rockets explo-
|| || || || ||
-Jerks awake on the couch as the credits for Freaky Friday roll down the TV screen-
Oh, thank God that worked! Not to self, next, get trapped in something fun like Lilo & Stitch or one of the Rugrats movies or…
-Jumps off the couch over to the DVD rack, frantically searching through the stacks until finding "Speed Racer 2008."-
I take it all back, this was the best purchase I've ever made!

How Does a Waterproof Electric Cargo Bike Work?
If you are looking for a waterproof electric cargo bike, you have probably come across a couple different models. But you are probably wondering how a cargo bike works. Well, let us help you choose the best one for your family! Here are some of the things to consider before buying a waterproof electric cargo bike.
First, you must decide if you need to use a child bike seat or a cargo bike. A child bike seat is a great option for children between 12 months and four years. The child seat should be installed in the rear part of the bike. If the child is older, then you should have a passenger handlebar. Lastly, make sure to add extra accessories to your bike, like a cargo rack, panniers, and wheel covers. You can also get guards for little feet, which are great if you plan to ride on the road with your kids.
Tumblr media
Safety and Security
In addition to safety and security, you must also invest in quality locks. A waterproof electric cargo bike is more susceptible to theft, so make sure you get a high-quality lock for it. Also, you must buy a good insurance cover, or a special one for cargo bikes. In addition to ensuring your bike is secure, you must also take care of its maintenance. In addition to the proper locks, it is crucial to keep the cargo bike in good condition and protect it from theft.
History
A cargo bike has a richhistory. Its design dates back to 1877. In 1877, the inventors of this bike, James Starley, designed three different models of carrier bikes. The first two were wooden and very functional, and soon after, iron versions were invented. The first cargo bike models were not equipped with gears or other features. They had a large wooden box placed on top of the horizontal front axle, which hinged with the main frame. Regardless of the materials used to build the cargo bikes, they still had a long history.
Models of Waterproof Electric Cargo Bikes
If you decide to purchase a waterproof electric cargo bike, it is important to choose a high-quality model with a high torque motor and a long range.Electric bikesmay also have a higher range and look cleaner than their mechanical counterparts. You should also consider the type of motor that will be installed on the bike. Some cargo bikes can be retrofitted with motors - a great option if you don't have the technical know-how to install the motor yourself.
Other Choice
In addition to waterproof electric cargo bikes, pedelecs are another option. Known ase-assist bikes, these bicycles have electric motors that assist the rider. When pedaling, an electric motor kicks in and the electric motor cuts out when freewheeling, or reaching the legal limit. You can even ride with a cargo bike with two people! These bicycles will help you get around the city without stressing out your back!

Forza Medi: Redefining Mobility with the Best Wheelchairs in India
In a world where mobility is synonymous with independence, the right wheelchair can make all the difference. Forza Medi, a leading wheelchair manufacturing company, has revolutionized the landscape of mobility aids in India with its commitment to quality, innovation, and accessibility. The tagline “Move without limits” encapsulates the company’s mission to empower individuals with mobility challenges, enabling them to lead fuller, more active lives. 
Tumblr media
In this blog, we explore how Forza Medi offers the best wheelchairs in India, and why it has become the go-to destination for those looking to buy wheelchairs online.
Why Forza Medi Stands Out?
Having provided the best combinations of cutting-edge technology and user needs, Forza Medi has become one of the most reputable international companies. Wheelchairs are not just products to the company; they are solutions that have been painstakingly designed for an improved user experience. Their wheelchairs for everyone from the active user to someone requiring a bit more support include ultra-lightweight models and heavier designs, but all are designs that can provide reliability in any situation.
Some of the primary grounds for which Forza is established as one of the best wheelchairs in India are that it focuses on comfort, durability and ease. Our wheelchairs design has incorporated ergonomics to allow the user an ease of use with minimum effort while maintaining a good posture and comfort. It uses lightweight yet fairly rigid materials which is the golden road between strength and portability. Be it daily use, travel or sports; there is a Forza Medi wheelchair model to suit every need.
Convenience at Your Fingertips: Buy Wheelchairs Online
Military-grade buys up in Forza Medi, this place is top-notch and thus it is an online store so the pantry is not a big deal. It is easy to navigate the website with appropriate classifications and filters which will help out a user in need of something particular. 
The platform can tell you everything from a good quality manual wheelchair, to even an electric. Besides it offers numerous payment gateways and home delivery services all over India where you will get your wheelchair in no time, delivered to your place with utmost safe conditions.
Affordability without Compromise
Forza Medi is determined to change that by providing quality and affordable wheelchairs. The company says that it believes everyone should be able to have a mobility aid, at an accessible price with out-of-this-world customer service.
There are such great options offered by Forza Medi in wheelchairs that one will not have to compromise over his desire. Weight limits are set on the majority of models with those being well over 200 pounds, even in lower-priced options. Certain details meant to make a bike much more comfortable when riding have been included on all but even some of its cheapest choices. 
Wheelchair users can frequently discover everything from bargains to discounts, and more on the dedicated online platform of a company that is devoted to affordability above all else making it simpler than ever prior for customers saddled with high medical bills looking to buy wheelchairs residents want without breaking their banks.
Conclusion: Empowering Mobility Across India
Forza Medi is more than just a wheelchair maker; it is a source of hope for anyone looking to restore or improve their mobility. With a focus on quality, innovation, and affordability, the company provides the best wheelchairs in India. The convenience of purchasing wheelchairs online, combined with Forza Medi's extensive selection, ensures that everyone may discover the ideal mobility solution to match their requirements. 
Whether you're looking for a wheelchair for yourself or a loved one, Forza Medi is the best choice. Their commitment to assisting people in "Moving without Limits" is visible in every product they provide, making them a trusted name in the market.

Cycling T-Shirts Online
Make sure that the Cycling T-shirts that you are looking for online are made of high-quality material and are soft and breathable. They should be designed with cyclists in mind. Here are some factors that you need to consider while looking for cycling T-shirts online. 
Material: Ensure that the texture is very convenient and does not interfere with the in-between struggle like sweating, consistent bodily movements, etc.
Comfortable: Another factor that you need to focus on is comfort. Do not compromise the comfort of the cycling T-shirts. Comfort is extremely important because slight discomfort can impact your ride and distract you while riding.

Buy Mountain Bike Shorts
Buying mountain bike shorts is as important as buying kneecaps and a helmet. Messing up in the type of shorts can ruin your experience and cause discomfort. To buy mountain bike shorts and check their comfort is as essential as cycling T-shirts. A case of a few things to consider are here mentioned below:
Moisture wicking: You don't want anything pooling down while in the cycling action. Many lightweight, breathable shorts will wick the sweat away.
Aerodynamics and Fit: A tight, aerodynamic fit makes for faster rides for road riders, while others may find the snug fit that accentuates muscles merely feels better. Off-road, however, a baggier fit could provide comfort.
Comfort: As the primary below body’s portion, shorts can be very important to comfort. The correct shape and amount of padding varies between men and women, but a good fit is important for long rides. Note, however, that this is less of an issue if you go with a comfortable one.
Pockets: Bike shorts don't generally have pockets, and you shouldn't use them anyway. Carrying something on one of your legs would provide an unnecessary Source of friction as you pedal.
Bib vs. regular shorts: Originally, bike shorts were much like walking shorts, with the intent of fastening at the waist. Bib shorts remain in place much better, by fastening over a cyclist's shoulders. Once most riders go to bibs, they never go back.
Color: Of course, there are other options, but the most suggested is the classic black. It's perfect for concealing the chain grease or tire dirt that you need to wipe off your hands, and black always prevents see-through slip-ups.
Conclusion
Being a cyclist means that while hunting for the best online cycling store USA you also pay attention to the other essentials of cycling like cycling T-shirts online and also mountain bike shorts. There is a single-stop shop for you online that you can visit to get all your accessories covered.

A Guide to Bike Travel Case Rental: Secure, Convenient, and Cost-Effective
For avid cyclists, exploring new terrain on two wheels is one of the best ways to travel. Whether you're gearing up for a race, planning a cycling vacation, or simply exploring a new city, transporting your bike safely is crucial. One of the most effective ways to do this is by using a bike travel case. However, investing in a high-quality bike case can be expensive, especially if you only need it occasionally. This is where bike travel case rental services come in, offering a convenient, affordable, and secure solution for transporting your bike.
In this article, we'll dive into why renting a bike travel case is a smart choice, how it works, and what to consider when choosing a rental service.
1. Why Rent a Bike Travel Case?
Renting a bike travel case is becoming an increasingly popular option for cyclists who want to protect their bikes during travel but don’t want to purchase a case outright. Here are some key reasons why renting makes sense:
Cost-Effective: High-quality bike travel cases can range from $300 to over $1,000. If you don’t travel frequently with your bike, the upfront cost of buying a case may not be justified. Renting allows you to access top-tier protection for a fraction of the cost.
Convenience: Bike travel case rental services often ship the case directly to your door, making it easy to pack up and go without the hassle of buying, storing, and maintaining the case yourself.
No Storage Hassles: Bike cases are bulky and can take up significant space. If you live in a small apartment or have limited storage, renting eliminates the need to find a place to store a large case between trips.
Access to the Latest Technology: Rental services usually offer high-end cases that are designed to provide the best protection for your bike. You can rent the latest models without having to buy new cases every time a better one comes out.
2. How Bike Travel Case Rentals Work
The process of renting a bike travel case is straightforward and can usually be completed online. Here’s an overview of how it works:
Select the Right Case: Most rental services offer a range of cases to suit different bike types, from road bikes to mountain bikes, and even electric bikes. Some cases are hard-shell for maximum protection, while others are soft-shell and lighter, which may be easier for air travel.
Make a Reservation: Once you’ve chosen the case that fits your bike, you can book it for the specific dates you need. Many rental services recommend booking well in advance, especially during peak travel seasons.
Shipping or Pickup: The rental service will either ship the bike case to your home or allow you to pick it up from a local location. The case often comes with instructions on how to pack your bike securely.
Pack Your Bike: Follow the instructions to dismantle and pack your bike properly into the travel case. Most cases require you to remove the pedals, wheels, and handlebars, so you may need a few basic tools.
Return After Your Trip: Once you’ve completed your trip, return the bike travel case to the rental service. Many companies offer pre-paid return shipping labels, so all you have to do is drop the case off at a shipping location, or they might arrange a pickup.
3. Types of Bike Travel Cases Available for Rent
Different types of bike travel cases cater to specific needs, and it’s important to choose one that suits your bike and travel plans. Here’s a breakdown of the most common options:
Hard-Shell Cases: These cases are made from tough, durable materials like polycarbonate or ABS plastic. They offer the highest level of protection against impacts, making them ideal for air travel where bikes can be exposed to rough handling. While they are heavier and bulkier than other types, they are the best choice for ensuring your bike stays safe.
Soft-Shell Cases: Made from durable fabrics with padding, soft-shell cases are lighter and more compact than hard-shell options. They’re ideal for road trips or flights where you want to minimize the weight of your luggage. While they may not provide as much impact resistance as hard-shell cases, they’re often easier to handle.
Hybrid Cases: These cases combine elements of both hard-shell and soft-shell designs. They offer reinforced frames and impact-resistant areas for key parts of the bike, while maintaining the flexibility and lighter weight of soft-shell cases.
Folding and Compact Cases: For those with limited space, folding cases or compact travel bags are a great option. They are easier to store when not in use but may require more careful packing to protect your bike during transport.
4. Key Considerations When Renting a Bike Travel Case
When selecting a bike travel case rental service, there are a few important factors to consider to ensure you get the right case for your needs:
Size and Compatibility: Make sure the case you rent is the right size for your bike. Check the rental service’s specifications to ensure your bike fits securely in the case. Some services offer cases specifically designed for road bikes, mountain bikes, or even fat-tire bikes.
Protection Features: Consider what type of travel you’ll be doing. If you’re flying, a hard-shell case may offer the best protection, while a soft-shell or hybrid case may suffice for road travel.
Ease of Use: Some cases are easier to pack than others. Look for features like internal straps to hold your bike components in place, extra padding, and easy-to-maneuver wheels.
Rental Period and Cost: Rental costs vary depending on the length of your rental period and the type of case. Some companies offer daily, weekly, or monthly rates. Be sure to factor in shipping costs, if applicable.
Reputation and Reviews: Before renting, check online reviews or ask for recommendations from fellow cyclists. A rental service with a good reputation for quality cases, excellent customer service, and on-time delivery is crucial.
5. Top Benefits of Renting a Bike Travel Case
Renting a bike travel case offers numerous benefits, especially for cyclists who travel occasionally:
Affordability: Renting allows you to access premium-quality cases without the significant upfront cost.
Flexibility: You can rent a different type of case depending on the trip, bike type, or travel method, giving you the freedom to adapt to different circumstances.
Stress-Free Travel: With the right travel case, you can have peace of mind knowing that your bike is well-protected, allowing you to focus on the adventure ahead.
Hassle-Free Returns: Many rental services include easy return options, like prepaid shipping labels, making the process simple and convenient.
For cyclists looking to travel with their bikes, renting a bike travel case is a smart, cost-effective option that combines convenience with high-quality protection. With a variety of case types available and easy rental processes, you can ensure that your bike is well cared for during your travels without the burden of long-term storage or large upfront costs. So whether you’re heading to a cycling competition, exploring new routes, or embarking on a biking vacation, renting a travel case will help you transport your bike securely and easily, leaving you to enjoy the ride.

The Future of Electric Mobility in Rajasthan: Trends and Predictions
A state with high historical and cultural significance, Rajasthan, is slowly and gradually moving towards developing environment friendly and efficient modes of transportations. Electric mobility is becoming a trend now and slowly blooming across the world, Rajasthan state is likely to be a major player in this green revolution with the help of the best electric scooter company in Rajasthan. This article focuses on the prospects for electric mobility in the state: 
Tumblr media
Current Trends in Electric Mobility 
Increasing Adoption of Electric Vehicles 
The use of EVs especially scooters and bikes is rapidly increasing in Rajasthan. Cities including Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur are adopting electric scooters as their most preferred means of transport. The benefits that have led to the shift include; Lower operational costs, Maintenance, and Environment. 
Development of Charging Infrastructure 
Infrastructure is a critical component of the development of electric mobility, the existing charging infrastructure. Rajasthan is improving the means of charging to ensure that EV owners can quickly charge their vehicles. Many charging stations are being mounted in strategic places where anyone can access them such as malls, parking lots as well as highways. 
Technological Advancements 
There are incidences where battery enhancement procedures and the general frame of electric scooters are providing more effectiveness and durability. Such factors as increased battery capacity, the time taken to charge the batteries, and the boosted performances done  by best electric scooter company in Rajasthan are some of the technological developments that are enhancing the use of electric scooters in Rajasthan. 
Predictions for the Future 
Rapid Growth in Electric Scooter Sales 
The sales of electric scooters is on the rise and projections indicate that there will be a dramatic rise in the future years too. The level of awareness of electric mobility and the cost of electric scooters are two significant indicators that are positive determinants of the buying rate of EVs and as these figures increase, the buying rate is expected to increase as well. Which is good for electric scooter companies like Reveal Electric, the best electric scooter company in Rajasthan.
Expansion of Charging Networks 
The charging infrastructure in Rajasthan is going to grow even more in the future as more private and public companies are going to enter into it. This expansion will be helping the owners of electric vehicles to have less range anxiety, and make electric scooters more feasible for long travels and distances. 
Integration with Smart City Initiatives
Rajasthan’s major cities are incorporating smart city initiatives that emphasise sustainable and efficient urban living. Electric mobility is one of the components of such initiatives. It would be wise to anticipate more electric two wheelers sharing and flow charging systems that align with the smart city vision.
Increased Focus on Rural Electrification 
As developed cities demonstrate greater representation of electric vehicles, the countryside is not lagging far behind either. Electric mobility is a crucial component of these initiatives. This will enhance the facility of transport and at the same time cause the growth of the economy within these regions. 
Collaboration with Renewable Energy Sources
In Rajasthan, the future of electric scooters is usually associated with renewable sources of power. Such features as solar charging stations for vehicles and other related initiatives in renewable power shall be fundamental key factors that would ensure that electric mobility is sustainable. And this will prove to be a great synergy given that Rajasthan receives a lot of solar energy. 
Conclusion 
It could be stated that the future of electric scooters in Rajasthan is quite promising. These coupled with Government's constant support towards efficient and sustainable means of transport today, forms the appropriate foundation with the help of the best electric scooter company in Rajasthan towards improving the green standards of transport in the state. While we see the emergence of electric mobility, Rajasthan is likely to obtain huge advantages by these effects: the decrease of pollution levels, the fluctuations of transport costs, and the improvement of the quality of people’s lives. Electric mobility is not just a culture; it is the need of the future for Rajasthan.

Essential Things To Look Out For When Buying An Electric Bike
The time has come to embrace the changes. The world is on the cusp of a radical shift fueled by rising pollution. Sustainable choices are the way ahead. The times are changing quickly, and transportation is one of the biggest reasons for increased pollution. Electric vehicles are the need of the hour. The need to use alternative fuels for mobility is higher than ever before.
Electric two-wheelers are becoming popular as EV usage becomes louder. There are a multitude of different e-bikes out there. Similar to regular bicycles, there are options for every riding style. Manufacturers are constantly developing lighter, longer-lasting batteries with increased range. Here are five things to consider when buying an e-bike.
Tumblr media
 
1) Purpose
The first thing you should do is consider where and when you want to use the e-bike. Do you reside in a city where, for instance, frequent stair climbing and other general transportation demands exist? Or do you intend to take it off-road because you live in a more isolated area?
E-bikes are excellent for carrying additional weight, whether commuting or shopping, because the engine helps propel you over steep hills.
2) Required Range
On a typical journey, your battery is unlikely to run flat if you start fully charged. When it comes to charging, however, your electric bicycle "range," or the overall distance you can ride before running out of charge, will be crucial. You'll need to charge your battery less frequently the more significant your range is. There are a lot more variables in practice. First, the battery will only sometimes be running at maximum capacity. You're more prone to switch between modes. 
3) Battery Size And Power
Different rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are employed in all e-bikes. This technology is identical to that found in electric cars. They are comparatively light in total weight and charge quickly.
The battery on a bike typically rests in several different places. It is generally fastened to the down tube, where it is accessible and removable. In more costly models, the battery is frequently housed inside the Seatpost or integrated into the downtube next to the bottom bracket. Although there is an expense involved, the finish is cleaner.
The usual rule regarding battery size is to go for the best size and quality your budget will allow. The capacity, which is significant when considering your electric bike range, will be expressed in Watt hours (wh).
