emma recently found out that ian wasn't her biological father and that her father was a rapist. it was a lot to process and she had been spending a lot of time at the bar. "oh, that looks yummy." emma commented as the bartender placed a drink in front of the person next to her.
Marley could hear barking in the distance, and she was perplexed, so she went in search of the sound, and unsurprisingly, there was Emma, barking. She didn't know why she was even slightly shocked, "Girl, what're you barking at? Is little Timmy stuck in a well? What is it girl?" Marley said, laughing and throwing her arms around her friend.
She sighs a moment as she looks around. Japan had become unfamiliar to her in her time in America, and with how large the cities were with the sheer amount of people, it was only natural she was going to get lost.
"What to do... was it... no, that just leads me back... ugh, I should really fire that driver. This is the third time already..."
The thing about Jean dreaming about Emma — Emma smiling a soft smile Jean’s never actually seen on her, Emma stretching in bed first thing in the morning, Emma grading as the afternoon sunlight shines through her hair — is that you know it’s reciprocal. They both spent too much time in Scott’s head not to wake up disoriented from a dream that felt all too real and all too romantic about a woman that they frankly can’t stand.
People love to talk about how Hank faking being gay pushed Bobby further into the closet (which it definitely did) but we should also talk about how the way the X-Men reacted to Hank definitely pushed him further back into the closet. Like Cyclops INSISTING that Hank is not gay and the idea that he is is the most ridiculous, preposterous thing in the world would have ABSOLUTELY pushed Hank back in too 😭😭 not to mention Emma saying to his face that he isn't as if she knows better than he does of the contents of his mind all because she gave it a cursory glance. Insane shit.

If I spoke about it — if I did — what would I tell you? I wonder. Would I tell you about the time? It happened a long time ago, it seems. In the last days of a fair prince's reign. Or would I tell you about the place? A small city near the coast, but far from everything else. Or, I don't know... Would I tell you about her? Or perhaps I would just warn you, about the truth of these facts. And the tale of love and loss. If I told you about them, what would I say? That they lived happily ever after? I believe they did. That they were in love? That they remained in love? I'm sure that's true.

Thank you to you that took time to read, to comment, to give kudos, to interact with this story. I hope it gave you a good time and it was worth. It was certainly worth for me to share this unhinged idea with all of you. I came out of this story loving even more the movie and the game. And I am deeply glad I had each one of you here with me.

“ did he actually call a time-out? ” (bobby @ emma)
“He did, yes.” Something Emma was torn between calling pathetic and impressive. Who the hell called for a time-out in the middle of a battle? “Makes me almost sad about having to destroy him.” Whether that meant killing him or just leaving him to wander, not knowing his own name was yet to be said. Depended on what kind of mood Emma was in when she got her hands on him.
