Harley: So no worries blondie and come here it’s therapy time.

Is Harley Quinn the legacy character of Harlequin?

only on a technicality! i don't think timm & dini were necessarily aware of the golden age harlequin when creating harley (and she was initially intended as a small time henchgirl for the joker before she took a life of her own anyway) but in current continuity i definitely don't think it's necessarily wrong to see a connection between gotham's original harlequin and its current one.

harley isn't even the first harlequin related to joker, however tangentially. that honour goes to duela dent, the so-called joker's daughter, who became the second harlequin during her brief stint with the titans.

there's also been marcie cooper (who todd rice briefly dated and who's actually the most visually similar to harley imo) and the harlequin briefly appearing in alan's glcq stories, although i'd argue that's still a manifestation of molly mayne.

harley's absolutely living up to molly's legacy of being a weird obsessive stalker though so, yknow, why not. i say she's a legacy character!

Soldier Hasn’t Seen Best Friend In 2 Yrs Watch What Happens When They’re Finally Reunited

Awaiting at the airport, Dane Peterson's nerves tingled with anticipation, unsure of the emotional crescendo that was about to unfurl. It had been a staggering two years since he'd last seen her, and the prospect of their reunion hung like a gentle but poignant suspense in the air. As the flight disembarked, passengers streamed out, and amidst them, his gaze locked onto her, accompanied by a loyal companion. Kneeling down, he beckoned her forth. It was a moment etched in his memory, a long-awaited encounter between a soldier and his faithful companion. Greetings, animal enthusiasts! I'm Dane Peterson from WonderBot Animals, and I'm here to share an extraordinary tale starring Soldier, a heartwarming reunion after two years apart. This is the remarkable story of Army Staff Sergeant Tom Hansen and his steadfast companion, Taylor, a Labrador whose loyalty and courage transcended time and distance. Their journey began in a setting of service and duty. Sergeant Hansen, an Army dog handler, first crossed paths with Taylor, an exceptional Labrador trained as a bomb-sniffing dog. Their bond burgeoned during deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. They were more than just a soldier and his service dog; they were inseparable partners, each reliant on the other for safety and survival. Their story unfolded amidst their first mission together in the rugged terrain of Afghanistan. Taylor, attuned to the dangers lurking, signaled her handler, Sergeant Hansen, to an improvised explosive device buried perilously close. This pivotal moment solidified their trust, shaping a bond that transcended the battlefield. Throughout their deployments, Taylor's keen senses and unwavering loyalty saved lives, both human and canine. She navigated through combat zones, alerting her handler to hidden threats and providing cover during firefights. Her vigilance ensured the safety of their unit. However, when Sergeant Hansen concluded his active duty service, the inevitable separation from Taylor left a void in his life. Despite his longing to have her join him in civilian life, military protocol mandated that another handler needed Taylor's expertise. The emotional toll of parting ways with a companion who had saved his life multiple times weighed heavily on Sergeant Hansen. But fate had other plans. Enter Molly Oliver, a United Airlines flight attendant and a staunch supporter of military personnel and their faithful companions. Moved by their story, Molly initiated a mission to reunite retired military dogs with their handlers. At her own expense, she facilitated Taylor's journey back to Sergeant Hansen. On a poignant day at the airport in Boise, Idaho, where Sergeant Hansen now resided, Molly walked alongside Taylor, guiding her toward the eagerly awaiting Sergeant. The heartwarming reunion was an emotional crescendo—a teary-eyed embrace, a flood of emotions, and unmistakable recognition. Taylor, having served her nation with unwavering dedication, now retired, savored her well-deserved reunion with Sergeant Hansen. Their instant connection was palpable, confirming the depth of their bond. Taylor's unwavering loyalty and devotion were undeniable; she had finally returned home. Moved by this powerful reunion, Sergeant Hansen resolved to cherish every moment with Taylor, determined to provide her with a joyous and comfortable retirement. Their journey together continues, filled with love, companionship, and the shared memories of their indomitable bond. But the story doesn't end there. The selfless act of Molly Oliver not only reunited Taylor and Sergeant Hansen but also inspired her to launch a nonprofit. This organization aims to bring more retired military dogs home to their handlers, embodying the spirit of compassion and gratitude. Sergeant Hansen's love for animals extends beyond Taylor. His rescue of a boxer named Harley, despite the dog's traumatic past, reflects his unwavering commitment to these loyal companions. This story encapsulates the enduring bond between humans and their animal counterparts, demonstrating that sometimes, the deepest connections transcend mere words. The reunion of Sergeant Hansen and Taylor stands as a testament to loyalty, love, and the indelible impact of unwavering companionship. Read the full article

God, Tynion created so many characters during his run. And so many were gay. Gardener, ghostmaker, idk what was up with miracle Molly, but something was going on there. Good run

FOR REAL THO i really did enjoy Tynion’s run, it kept me interested as I read it, ya know? Like I hopped on during the very start of Joker War (i’d gone back and read what led up to it too, but I mean that’s when I started reading it as new issues came out) and had a good time keeping up with it. I thought there was lots of interesting stuff in there, and I absolutely adore Khoa I think he was such a great addition to Bruce’s story… just lots of cool stuff imo.

But YEAH on the topic of how gay stuff felt, I remember when these connecting covers/event promo for Fear State dropped:

and it hit me that… literally half of these characters (Harley, Ivy, Bella, Khoa) who are the major players of the event are canonically queer. And it’s just like… part of it! It just feels cool when you get to see queer characters having active roles in shit any time of year, and especially when the relationships (Harley & Ivy’s as well as discussion of Ivy & Bella’s past) are… plot relevant? It’s just cool, it was cool. Fear State wasn’t a perfect event by any means but I think looking back at it as a whole now (rather than… trying to keep up as it came out which i do think was fairly disastrous) there was definitely some good stuff in there.

Molly Headcanons💖🕷

 * Has a soft, baby voice like BTAS Harley Quinn.

* Religious✝️ Went to Church every Sunday and prays.

* 50%pure sweet/other 50% pure sass.

* Doesn't believe in violence but mess with her family and you’re DEAD!

* Took drugs in the past too. Molly/ecstasy, specifically as her name suggests. Was more discreet and only in small doses. Being in a mafia family, that handles a lot of drugs can lead to stress and not so great coping mechanisms. After her death she went completely clean💊

* Uses ALOT of hair spray.

* Out of them, had the least troubling relationship with Henroin, their dad. He called her his “little Princess” and preferred her out of the “business” matters. She was also one of the few who could stand up to him if he went too far, specifically with Angel. He was still stern with her as well as be overprotective. He felt that with her being a women, she needed to be protected and looked after. It’s also because she reminded him most of her mother and his late wife. Loosing her destroyed him, and a huge part of the reason he became colder. 

* Acted as a mother for Angel and Niss after their mom died💖

* The one Niss felt closest too and talk about his feelings.

* Wasn’t involved in the family’s more illegal activities. Mostly just helped please clients and other business connection by serving drinks and food with a sweet smile. Also did a lot of the cooking and cleaning around the house.

* She also knew how to use a gun and other tricks. Just because she wasn’t apart of the mafia business that much, she was still in the mafia.

* After her death, and not being in Hell with the rest of her family, she became more independent with her life and runs a beauty salon. She loves doing hair and makeup💇‍♀️💄 pretty popular, especially for drag shows. Also a great seamstress🪡🧵👗 Even got on magazine covers and interviews.

* Also makes outfits. Made a lot for Angel🧵🪡 Also repaired her fam’s clothes whenever they got roughed up on the job.

* Had a lot of practice with Angel🕷💄🪡🧵

* Loves to cook👩‍🍳 Learned from her mom. Usually cooked for the family, Angel liked to help when he could.

* During her time alive, she'd like to go downtown for fun. Henroin had guards or her bros escort her for safety. She mostly went down to shop, eat out or watch a movie🛍🍽🍿🎞🎥

* Also liked to go Drag shows, much to Henroin and Arackniss’ disapproval. Was how Angel got first introduced to drag💄👗

* A hopeless romantic but NEVER was allowed to date.

* Hasn't heard from her family since she died. Though one time when the two V's, Val and Vox came up to Heaven for business and overheard them talking about a certain “out of order spider hooker”. Molly’s trying to see if she can do some business in Hell and if she can put a special contract on Val, via next Extermination.

The Shadows of Hazbin

Alastor’s shadow isn’t the only being of darkness around.

 In fact, Hell is full of shadows and various monsters, just itching for flesh and chaos. We have seen Alastor controlling voodoo imps and shadowy deer, for example. The imps would burn buildings, feast on deer and loot stores. Every demon has a shadow that acts as its own entity, despite being connected to their owners. The shadows represent the dark subconscious desires of the host, desires both in Hell and the thoughts of the sinner when they were alive. In addition, the shadow reflects the full demon form of the sinner or Hell-Born and in fact, enables them to transform. When in their full demon forms, the demon hosts often give into their primal urges and evil natures, unless they can fully control…who they are inside.

 Alastor can control his shadow and minions…to a certain extent. If he is not careful, even the Radio Demon could be possessed as well.

 Like the Exterminators and angels in Heaven, there exists an evil conspiracy in Hell as well. The shadows want total freedom in Hell…and all the souls that come with it. They may even try to free Satan from the icy Ring of Treachery. Satan is the red goat, black suit-wearing evil counterpart of Lucifer. Like Lucifer, he is a powerful ruler of Hell, along with Beezlebub the fly lord, Leviathan the sea monster, Beal, etc. Satan was once a part of Lucifer before he was expelled from him and banished to the darkest district. Lucifer and Satan merged could stand up against God and Adina, the evil angel from Zoophobia. But with that much power comes the risk of Lucifer going deranged and initiating a Hell-wide massacre. Charlie, too, has her shadow and her dark side, and if left unchecked, she could engulf Hell and her friends in “cleansing” flames.

 There are a select group of shadows…the shadows of the characters! Charlie, Vaggie, Angel etc. all have shadows that look different and occasionally manifest, often when they are by themselves or sleeping.

 Eilrahc (eel-ra-uh-c): Charlie’s shadow.

Her shadow appears as a look-alike figure with two horns, sharp grinning teeth and long hair. The eyes are often orange-red. Her shadow is Charlie’s evil side/subconscious. Unlike Charlie who sees the good in everyone, her shadow wants Charlie to unlock her powerful potential and to instill fear in her subjects. Her shadow doesn’t believe in redemption, only in having people respect her completely. (Charlie wants to be loved and believed in, but it is hard). Charlie’s evil form is encouraged and brought forth by both Lucifer being stern and by Alastor’s trickery.

There are times when Charlie can get violent, such as when she fought Katie Killjoy on the table at the news station. Charlie going into her demon from was just for show, but the power was still there. Charlie’s shadow doesn’t believe in redemption, but will help Charlie reach her goal, even if it means forcing people to “redeem” themselves.

 Eiggav (e-gav): Vaggie’s shadow.

Eiggav appears as a look-alike to Vaggie, except with a gaunt face, two horns, glowing purple eyes and moth-like features. Her shadow has dark wings with glowing purple eyes, representing her full demon form.

Vagatha has hated men ever since she could remember. Her father, Valentino was abusive to her and her mother. Vaggie died of a brutal gang rape, the men taunting her for being a prostitute, a lesbian and for being Latina. Vaggie’s shadow is an expert in using weapons and represents Vaggie’s anger and desire to kill jerk men. Eiggav pours out anger and helps make Vaggie into a deadly fighter. But she also deters Vaggie from opening her mind and being more trustworthy.

    Tsud Legna (t-sud- leg-na): Angel Dust’s shadow.

This shadow briefly appeared during Angel Dust’s battle against the Egg Bois, standing behind Angel, very tall after sending an egg flying. His shadow is tall with six arms, venomous fangs and narrowed pink eyes.

Angel’s shadow represents Angel’s dirty thoughts and bad habits, also as Anthony when he lived in New York. Like Valentino, he encourages Angel to keep doing drugs, be a porn star and pursue a life of freedom. The shadow wants Angel to love who he loves, be violent and seek out money and stimulation. Yet the shadow is also his voice of doubt, saying that Valentino and Henroin will never treat him as an equal. That his father hates him for being gay and leaving the mafia. (His shadow likes to mess with him like the shadows of other demon hosts).

 Rotsala (rot-sala): Alastor’s shadow.

This shadow made an appearance during Alastor’s reprise dance number at the hotel. The shadow appears to walk in through the fireplace, grinning at Alastor before vanishing (like Dr. Facilier’s shadow). The shadow looks like Alastor, with deer-like tufts, sharp teeth, and antlers. At times, the shadow looks like a wendigo. He often has glowing teal eyes and a wide grin.

Like the wendigo, Rotsala is always hungry for the next kill. He was created by dark magic and serves as Alastor’s guide/spy. Rotsala appears to be a leader among the other shadows. Alastor can send his shadow to hunt or spy on people. His shadow represents Alastor’s murderous intentions, but also his deep seated fears such as fear of dogs and his abusive father. Alastor had many dark thoughts when he was surrounded by racism and violence in New Orleans. His shadow would love to see everyone possessed or tortured for entertainment. Like Alastor, Rotsala loves music.

 Rotsala is attracted to Charlie and her shadow, and reveals feelings and intentions that Alastor often hides.

 Ytffin (yeet-fin): Niffty’s shadow.

This small little shadow has a large yellow eye, curly hair and sharp teeth. She is as fast as Niffty, often enjoying “cleansing” parts of Hell and disposing of bodies. The shadow represents Niffty’s sexual obsession with men, along with a hidden fear of them. Niffty’s shadow urges Niffty to always be busy with cleaning, cooking, sewing, writing and pursuing men. As a Japanese woman named Nefuti in the 1950s in California, Niffty learned about housekeeping and cleanliness very early on (but also killed a man, which led to her death in a fireplace).

   Ksuh (k-suh): Husk’s shadow.

This grumpy shadow has Husk’s cat-like features and angry yellow glowing eyes.  The dark thoughts also apply to Husk as a human: Hilario in Las Vegas, Nevada. His shadow looks like Husk’s demon form: a fierce large cat that has the build of a mountain lion. Husk often takes this form when protecting Alastor from enemy attackers. Husk’s shadow represents Husk’s additions and his traumatic past. Husk developed a gambling and drinking addiction early on in life and also fought during several wars. The trauma got to him, and he died of over-drinking and depression at age 75. But his shadow encourages him to seek more money, drink more booze and shut people out. Husk enjoys magic shows and lived a while (nine lives) but his curiosity killed him in time (curiosity killed the cat). However, Husk has the potential to be softer and more open to others, even finding love, which he had lost years ago.

 Xov: Vox’s shadow.

Born in Russia as Vincent, he took control of the television industry in the U.S., hosting game shows and scamming people in pursuit of money. He was also racist to people like Alastor and treated women as trophies. He later died after a TV fell on his head. Vox quickly rose to power as a TV Overlord, gaining control of electricity and media brainwashing. He may even be more powerful than Alastor.

  Onitnelav: Valentino’s shadow.

Valentino was a wealthy Brooklyn pimp and human trafficker in his human life, before he was arrested and sentenced to death. He was also father to Vagatha. When he arrived in Hell, he took over the porn industry, taking many clients such as Angel Dust. Like Vox and Velvet, he enjoys his powerful status and manipulating others to his benefit.

 Tevlev: Velvet’s shadow.

Venessa was Velvet’s human name. In life, she was African American and became popular on social media. She enjoyed spreading gossip about others along with eating sweets and playing with dolls. But Vanessa was soon bullied and this led to her killing people with a knife while pretending to be innocent. She later stabbed herself to avoid being arrested. In Hell, she became the Harley Quinn-like demon of social media.

    Bmob Irrehc: Cherri Bomb’s shadow.

Cherri Bomb’s shadow has hot pink eyes and hair that appears as flames. Cherri was a rebel and feminist in Australia, who fought to the extremes in protests. She died at a young age in the 80s after an explosion she had caused. She is Angel Dust’s partner in crime. Her shadow represents her explosive tendencies and her fear of her abusive ex-boyfriend.

 Suoitnep Ris: Sir Pentious’ shadow.

Sir Pentious was an aristocrat and a black-haired evil inventor during the Industrial Revolution before he died from a mechanical failure in a blizzard. He commands his Egg Bois and wants to take over Hell. He also has a desire to be part of the “cool club” of Overlords Vox, Valentino and Velvet.

 Yojllik Eitak: Katie Killjoy’s shadow.

Katie basked in wealth and status. Katie Killjoy died in 1992 from being crushed by news equipment from above. Her shadow represents her love of gossip, sexual lust toward men and her love of bringing others down and high ratings.

   Hcnert Mot: Tom Trench’s shadow.

Tom Trench’s shadow also has a gas mask on, and is surrounded by noxious gas and green fumes. Tom is a blonde man who fought with the Nazis/Germany. He had killed many people but he didn’t have a choice. He eventually died from gas in the trenches, before becoming a news anchor in Hell. His shadow represents his violent tendencies and sexual remarks.

 Yllom: Molly’s shadow.

Molly’s shadow appears as a fierce spider with pink eyes and hearts.

 Ssinkcara: Arackniss’ shadow.

Appears similar to Angel’s shadow but even darker.

 Niorneh: Henroin’s shadow.

 Htilil: Lilith’s shadow.

Reficul: Lucifer’s shadow.

Elzzar and Elzzad: Razzle and Dazzle’s shadows.

Asleh: Helsa’s shadow.

Nahtaives: Seviathan’s shadow.

 Yzmim: Mimzy’s shadow.

Mimzy’s shadow has large lavender glowing eyes, thick hips and hair, and features of a mockingbird. Mimzy as Majorie in life, wanted fame, attention, wealth and love for many years, both on Earth and in Hell. She performs at her club and basks in the spotlight. In life, she was a star who killed her husband to get his insurance money. She was also in love with Alastor and gets jealous and emotional when she doesn’t get her way. Mimzy’s shadow represents her selfish and materialistic tendencies.

 Inimyrc: Crymini’s shadow.

Crymini’s shadow takes on the form of a hellhound with sharp teeth, skull markings and light red eyes. Her shadow represents her crimes in life and the afterlife: vandalizing, smoking, killing, drugs, porn, and being a delinquent. She was a typical My Chemical Romance emo teenager in the 90s until her death. Crymini has more porn than Angel Dust and might have more addictions than he does. Crymini’s good traits include her love of rock/metal music, her eventual growth as a Hazbin Hotel client, and her later acquaintance with fellow hellhound Loona.

  Retxab: Baxter’s shadow.

Baxter’s shadow takes on Baxter’s demon form, a large anglerfish monster with teal eyes and markings. Baxter’s shadow represents Baxter’s unethical experiments and his need to be alone all the time. Baxter had died on a boat and drowned in his life, while in pursuit to be the smartest most powerful inventor in Germany. Baxter often grows creatures in tanks, builds robots, makes deadly chemicals, weapons and drugs for Velvet, Sir Pentious and secret dealers.

 Eisor: Rosie’s shadow.

Rosie was born in Hell, is an Overlord and owns an emporium. She is like an evil Mary Poppins during the Day of the Dead. She likes to sing with Alastor and be a cruel CEO to her workers. She is an elegant woman of class and style, also a model.

Rosie seeks to gain more power and influence, wanting people to eventually become her sewing slaves. She believes that the Hell-Born are superior to sinners. Like Lucifer, she attempts to stop Charlie’s plan from working.

  Steggun Taf: Fat Nugget’s shadow.

 Oor: Roo’s shadow.

Roo’s shadow represents her demon form, taking the shape of a monstrous kangaroo with glowing orange eyes and teeth. Roo as Roxanne was born in Australia and worked as a trash picker. Kanga was her older sister and rival who went to heaven. Roo killed people and disposed of them in dumpsters and incinerators. She later died in an incinerator after trying to escape from police. In Hell, she is the Trash Queen, disposing bodies and consuming demons with her orange parasite from her mouth. She also lives in the junkyard, surrounded by trash every day. Roo likes metal music, herbs, feasting on demons and making trash into clothing.

 Alliv: Villa’s shadow.

Oztilb: Blitzo’s shadow. (the o is still silent)

Eixxom: Moxxie’s shadow

Eillim: Millie’s shadow.

Anool: Loona’s shadow.

Salots: Stolas’ shadow.

Aivatco: Octavia’s shadow.

Zzif Obor: Robo Fizz’s shadow.

Age: 62

Gender: Female

Born or Made: Born

Birthday: September 1st

Zodiac Sign: Virgo

Religion: Irish Catholic

→ Her Personality The Cooke family is made of hard workers, and Siobhan is no exception. They never really climbed the ranks in the clan, and Byron remained at his same position for over 70 years without much fanfare and retired quietly back in Ireland. It is her family’s situation that has driven almost all of Siobhan’s choices in life. Her father was never recognized for his service by the Fields, so Siobhan decided to rise through the ranks in whatever way she could. She put in the legwork and hours of showing to prove to Sam that she could fit into the world of expensive real estate. Siobhan learned how to dress, how to speak, how to walk all in order to become the “best” version of herself. She believes she built herself from the ground up and is very proud of her image and lifestyle.

Siobhan thoroughly believes all members of her clan, regardless of their position, deserve respect. She makes an effort to say hello to everyone from her clan, whether just in passing or while one of them is working and has a good reputation amongst the workers at the hotel. Many of them knew her from the time she was a child and she tries to maintain those relationships. She has always been a more serious person and takes what she says seriously too. This may strike people as blunt or sharp tongued, but she rarely means it like that.

→ Her Connections

Parent Names:

Byron Cooke (Father): Byron taught his daughter the value of hardwork. He spent every day of his life working to provide his family with everything he could. He made sure to send his daughters to a private school so they could get the best education possible. And when his daughters were finally grown, he chose to move back to Ireland. Siobhan is very close to her father and sees it as her duty to push herself as far as possible to show him all of his hard work paid off. 

Clare Cooke (Mother): Clare had to leave for Ireland when Siobhan was a teenager. Her father had become ill and she went to go take care of him. When he finally passed, she had to help her mother and siblings and wasn’t able to get back to Chicago for almost 15 years. Her missing so much of Siobhan’s childhood has made their relationship more strained than hers and Byron’s. She still loves her mother and is glad that she and Byron were able to live out their retirement dream of owning a small bed and breakfast outside of Killarney.

Sibling Names:

Elodie Cooke (Sister): Elodie and Siobhan have very different personalities. Where Siobhan is focused so often on the things that must be done, Elodie has always been the inventive dreamer of the two. However, her spoiled attitude often causes arguments between the sisters and led to Elodie moving to Ireland, leaving Siobhan alone in the city.

Children Names:

None

Romantic Connections:

Dante Parisi (New Acquaintance/Interest): Siobhan was introduced to Dante by Anna. She knows he is one of the newcomers and is interested in getting to know him better.

Platonic Connections:

Sam Thompson (Boss): Sam was the first person who offered her a job as an agent. She has as little tolerance for him as she does for the Fields, but he has given her the opportunity she needed and she’s willing to stomach that to get what she wants. She doesn't feel particularly loyal to Sam, but she has grown to see some of his good traits. 

Mason Harley (Friend): Once her parents and Elodie left the city, Siobhan often sat alone during church. During one of those times, Olivia and Mason introduced themselves to her and they became some of her closest friends. She was heartbroken when Olivia died, and unlike Geri, isn’t trying to force Mason back into the church. 

Geri Beckham (Flipping Partner/Good Friend): Siobhan met Geri after a pair of clients asked to bring her to a potential home purchase. They became friends quickly, and she was more than willing to hear her out when she talked about house flipping. She handles the real estate aspects of it, while Geri deals with the design and construction. After they began working with one another, they saw each other at mass and became close personal friends after that.

Hollis Sony (Competitor/Potential Boss): Hollis has been competing with Sam for years over their business, something Siobhan kept her head down about. She didn’t have a bone in either fight. A couple of months back, however, Hollis offered her a realtor position at her group. Siobhan is considering it, but has made a decision yet.

Eliza Meyers (Friend): Eliza and Siobhan met at work and became friends quickly. They often spend holidays together, whenever Eliza isn’t with Sam. Her personality reminds Siobhan of Elodie, but they get along better.

Riley Anderson (Friendly Rival): Riley has stolen properties from her in the past. And she’s done the same. When things become competitive, they tend to have a bit of a competition, but don’t hold grudges when everything has settled

Michael Johansen (Former Client): Siobhan helped Michael find his home in Chicago. She found him a pleasure to work with and makes a purpose to greet him whenever she’s at the hotel. 

Anna Johansen (Possible Future Client): Anna and Siobhan met when Michael was house hunting. Though his adopted daughter is living with him now, she’s mentioned wanting to find a place of her own in the future.

Sarah Harris (Friend): Sarah and Zack both go to the same church as Siobhan. She has been invited to their house for dinner quite a few times and enjoys their company. They were especially kind to her after her parents and sister moved away from her.

Zack Harris (Friend): Sarah and Zack both go to the same church as Siobhan. She has been invited to their house for dinner quite a few times and enjoys their company. They were especially kind to her after her parents and sister moved away from her.

Hostile Connections:

Clara Fields (Resents): Byron worked his fingers to the bone for the Fields family, working decades upon decades, and they barely acknowledged what he did for them. From a young age Siobhan knew she’d never work directly under the Fields. She can play nice with anyone, and has made it a point to stay neutral in her eyes.

Asa Fields (Resents): Byron worked his fingers to the bone for the Fields family, working decades upon decades, and they barely acknowledged what he did for them. From a young age Siobhan knew she’d never work directly under the Fields. He walked in and was placed at a job she knows other people have worked for years to get.

Pets:

Molly (Border Collie): Siobhan adopted Molly after Elodie left. She found herself becoming lonely and wanted a companion. Molly has a ton of energy and Siobhan now goes on daily runs to get her energy out.

[ JODIE COMER, SHE/HER, CIS-FEMALE, TWENTY-NINE, £4 ] Rebecca Coulter is a harlot that makes their home on Covent garden. they are known to be lively + haughty, and originally hail from London. you can find them working at the molly house. [ ALI, SHE/HER, 20, EST] *filling the WC for Winifred Harley

Hello, I’m Ali, and this is my sweet baby Rebecca here are some stats about her:

London is all Rebecca has ever known. As a child, she was adopted along with an older boy by a merchant couple who could not have their own children. 

She performed the woman’s role of the house alongside her mother, being as dutiful of a daughter as ever. She was always told to be grateful for where she was in life because she could have been left to die as yet another of England’s orphans, but the Lord placed her with her family for a reason. 

Her elder brother, Robert, learned to tools of their father’s trade as a linen merchant and would often indulge Rebecca’s desire to learn more. Soon, she had moderate skills in reading, writing, arithmetic, and trade. 

Her parents were brutally honest with Rebecca about her adoption but she never sought out her mother out of respect for the life she was given. She was once an orphan with no prospects, but her family at least equipped her with the means to get further in life. 

Life was good as can be growing up, she was well-fed, had a roof over her head, and didn’t need to want for anything.

But London was London, and rivalries waged regardless of the business you were in. A bad trade, or maybe even a drunken brawl in a pub one night, cost the Coulters everything. Their business burned long and hot one night and once the fire settled, Robert and their father were already plotting to rebuild.  

But Rebecca saw no hope. What was the point of rebuilding something just for it to be burnt down again? What was the point of struggling for something she could never truly be part of? 

She was not naive or highborn enough not to know the life of harlots in London.  From the beginning, she knew she was not refined enough to find a living in Golden Square, but she was smart and could learn so she set off for the next best thing: Covent Garden. 

But she was not experienced in sex, and had lived her life understanding the way men treated women that they saw as lesser. She had always had an affinity for women as well as men - though she would never tell her family that - so she took her chances on the molly house in Covent Garden. 

She was still so young then, only 20 at the time, but has now risen to be a very personable harlot for her female culls, becoming one of the highest-paid harlots in her home. 

Some follow up nuggets:

Rebecca? Big sapphic. She’s got major heart-eyes for women and truly, deeply, enjoys her job.

She does take male culls if the price is right but she’s pretty much the Little Women meme where Saoirse Ronan is just saying “women” with tears in her eyes. 

She’s lived a good life, not pregnancy scares, enough money to take care of herself, etc, so she’s really a sweetheart. 

I’m up for all kinds of connections: friends, enemies, secret lovers, you name it. I will warn, though, that I prefer not to write smut, so I hope that is not an issue with any potential connections.

So I’ve been thinking about Polyamory lately...

I started watching this show called Siren where this couple meets a mermaid and all three of them slowly start falling in love with each other and this is my first exposure to polyamorous representation and I think it’s a great triad relationship the writers have going here to explain the more complex emotions involved in a polyamorous relationship.

If anyone gets bored gong through this or knows you’re in for a long post as least know that this is the main idea of this post before scrolling past it: The best kind of love is a healthy tender relationship to people you can trust and who love you unconditionally. 

Now I’m not poly myself, I don’t know what I am to be honest, so I don’t know what’s all involved. I’ve done research and I know that there are many different types of polyamory for it to just be whittled down to one example but what really strikes me and fascinates me about the polyamorous relationship depicted in Siren is the deep love and commitment each of the partners have with each other. 

In the past I’ve joked about polyamory in the sense “haha let’s just forget this bogus love triangle and have everyone just get together” and after hearing other people’s stories and learning about their relationships I know there’s a lot more to it than just saying “screw it, let everyone just have sex!”

So I’ve put together a list of other possible areas where other writers could have gone this way. Because representation is important and love triangles have become an extremely cliché and toxic trope in television and movies to the point I don’t think writers really know what a healthy relationship between partners looks like anymore. 

I got a lot of these from Triad of the Day but I just wanted to explain more in depth why I think these characters would be so good together

1. Veronica Lodge and Cheryl Blossom and Betty Cooper

So I’ve got to admit, I don’t actually watch Riverdale and this is probably a bad example to start with because my reasoning for these three being a triad is: just look at them. They’re obviously in love. And they can all still have their men on the side if that’s what they want but from what I’ve seen of gifs and on other people’s blogs, there is a strong feminine power here that transcends just being friends/frenemies/whatever. 

2. Harley Quinn and Catwoman and Poison Ivy a.k.a The Gotham City Sirens

Harley and Poison Ivy are already renown for their amazing sapphic relationship but I feel like Catwoman is a good addition to their love because of how often she gets snubbed by Batman (a man she clearly has feelings for a who has feelings for her) for embracing her darker side. Harley, more than anyone, understands being sidelined and downright abused by someone you care about and I think Poison Ivy would praise Selina for embracing the side of her that come more naturally. Harley and Poison Ivy already have a great and more or less healthy (as healthy as trauma inflicted villains can be) and Selina could really use some of that love in her life. 

This is also probably my inspiration for the whole Veronica/Cheryl/Betty triad I have above. 

3.  Kathy and Don and Cosmo

Again, so I haven’t really seen this movie in its entirety yet (just bits and pieces) but I’ve seen enough to know they were all just meant to be together. Especially in the “Good Morning” number where they talk about “danced the whole night through”. Like what is better than one person finding two other people they can laugh and have fun together until dawn? This just seems super figured out to me.

4. Miles O'brien and Keiko O'brien and Kira Nerys

This is one where I think things get a little complicated for so many reasons. For starters it’s a great example how a polytriad relationship works when children are involved. For those who aren’t familiar with Star Trek: Deep Space 9, the story between these three are that Miles and Keiko have been married ever since they were on Star Trek: The Next Generation. They even have a daughter who is about four when the couple are expecting their next baby. Due to a transporter malfunction Kira is accidentally impregnated with Keiko’s baby. This was the writers’ way of explaining Kira’s actress, Nana Visitor’s, own pregnancy (coincidently with other co-star, Alexander Siddig, but that’s a whole other story). 

Anyways, once Kira is unexpectedly carrying the O’Brien’s child she moves in with them so that they can still experience the pregnancy and become closer to their new surrogate. As a result Kira also becomes closer to the O’Brien’s and their daughter Molly. The birth of Kirayoshi is a really touching episode and it’s obvious that Kira has become extremely attached to the baby. After the birth the O’Briens make Kira Kirayoshi’s godmother (and also kind of name him after her) and she becomes a part of the family, like an aunt.

The only reason this gets complicated is because of Kira’s work relationship with Miles. While Kira and Keiko become super close and it could easily have turned into something romantic there’s not a lot of that bonding going on with Miles. And I know there are relationships where person A (Kieko) has a strong relationship with persons B (Miles) and C (Kira) but persons B and C aren’t as close, but my main objective in putting these characters together is to form a perfect triad where everyone loves and is loved equally. The writers could have also easily done this by having Kira and Miles bond more emotionally rather than professionally but they didn’t so we don’t get to see what that would have looked like except in fanfiction. 

5. Elphaba and Galinda and Fiyero

Like I think a majority of the fans of Wicked agree that these three were all in love one way or the other. Some ship Glinda and Elphaba, Glinda shipped herself with Fiyero, and the mainstream is that Elphaba and Fiyero utlimately belonged together. And while the musical puts a heavy emphasis on the “friendship” between Glinda and Elphaba, anyone who ever watches “For Good” can tell you that their relationship was way deeper than your average best friends or sisters for that matter. Not to mention in “One Short Day” the two fo them make a point of saying “we’re just two friends” “two good friends” “two best friends”. The whole “just friends” has been used to keep LGBT+ couples in the closet since forever. 

We also know Fiyero and Elphaba were given a wonderfully laid out relationship which has a very important role in the musical. Fiyero’s relationship with Glinda can be analyzed as what society wants to see vs. Fiyero and Elphaba’s relationship which is something society doesn’t want to see. Perfect vs. Unconventional. HOWEVER, Fiyero and Glinda did have a connection, so much so that Glinda did mourn losing him (to her “best friend” nonetheless). The reverse could also be argued that Glinda was mourning losing Elphaba to Fiyero. OR it could be argued that the two people she loved most ran off into the sunset (albeit, as fugitives) without her and she was left behind. In a polyamorous relationship nobody would be left behind singing a reprise of “I’m Not That Girl”. I haven’t seen the full musical in a while but I think Elphaba gave Glinda the chance to come with her and Fiyero and Glinda opted to stay behind in the public figure position she was given. I could be wrong about that, like I said I haven’t seen the musical in a while, but if I’m not wrong the that decision to stay behind could have all sorts of different analyses for the relationship between the three. 

Let’s not forget to mention that Glinda and Elphaba were ROOMMATES! Ok, memes aside, these three had a lot of chemistry and history together that bonded them. For me, one of the saddest parts of the ending wasn’t the “For Good” scene where Elphaba “sacrifices” herself because Glinda knew full well what Elphaba had planned with Fiyero, leaving Glinda as the last one standing and being the one left behind to fix the corrupt government in the land of Oz. She was sad because she knew Elphaba had to stay dead in the eyes of the people if she was ever going to live a normal life after all that had happened. The actual ending of the book is way sadder so I’ll take the canon ending of the musical any day but I can’t help but feel like the life Elphaba and Fiyero started after running off into their official sunset probably felt a little incomplete without Glinda. 

6. DJ Fuller and Steve Hale and Matt Harmon

THIS ONE. Never has an audience ever been given the run around about a heteronormative live triangle than they have been with Fuller House. As soon as I saw this on Triad of the Day’s list of polyamorous couples I was just like YES! When DJ chose Steve I was a little skeptical and torn. Both of these men seemed really great and had great chemistry with DJ. I stan the whole decision for DJ to choose herself the first time around and take some time to figure out who she was (especially so soon after the death of her husband). But immediately after that decision the writers went and gave Steve and Matt a great bro relationship. THEY EVEN HAD STEVE AND MATT KISS!!!! Although that was before they became friends. And they were SO into that kiss and we ALL loved it! The fact that it was used for laughs is such a pity. Fuller House could have pulled a Modern Family by creating a positive social commentary on polyamorous families and play off the title of the show (Fuller House) more than they already do by adding both men to the family. Instead one of them got pushed away and to be honest I stopped watching after season 2. I love the wholesome family vibes Fuller House gives out and even the ones given out by Hallmark (which Candace Cameron Bure and Lori Laughlin are major actresses in) but something these wholesome shows and tv networks forget is that you can represent LGBT+ relationships without the emphasis of sex. It’s like if someone were to pitch a gay Christmas romance movie to Hallmark the board would immediately say, “Nice idea, but this is a family friendly program.” My definition of family friendly is a group of adults who are in loving and healthy relationships with each other who all love and take care of the children in their lives. And my definition of wholesome is lack of profanity and vulgar humor and displays honest values (just for the record). 

Fuller House really missed out on taking a step forward into the modern age by not making these three a polyamorous triad. 

7.Victor Van Dort and Emily and Victoria Everglot

So I’m not sure about this one because I REALLY love how it ended (with Emily getting justice for her murder and then being emotionally liberated to the point she burst into a kaleidoscope of butterflies). Not to mention Emily and Victoria didn’t exactly get much bonding time throughout the movie though I think Emily can heavily relate to Victoria’s overly sheltered life and especially to getting screwed over in the marriage department (although Victoria luckily dodged that bullet). But I feel like that would make Emily (and Victor) all the more protective of Victoria when it comes to those who would abuse her. And maybe Emily could have taught both Victor and Victoria more about standing up for themselves. I know Emily can seem naive and like she doesn’t have much life experience (for obvious reasons) but we’ve seen how strong, powerful, and dedicated she is. I don’t think anybody would be surprised if Emily scorched the earth for Victor and Victoria. Also Victor needs some strong women in his life. I feel like the implications of what these three would have been like in a polyamorous relationship is pretty obvious and has no doubt been written about a thousand times in fanfiction. As much as I love Emily being released from what was tying her down to earth, this would have been a good alternative ending as well. 

8.  Tulio is dating Miguel and Chel

These guys. Need I say more?

I think I might because while we see the obvious attraction between Tulio and Chel and the fanmade art and fanfiction of Tulio and Miguel, that still leaves out the question of what Chel and Miguel’s relationship would be like. Obviously in the movie Miguel wasn’t a big fan of Chel moving in on his and Tulio’s “bromance” and while jealousy doesn’t have much place in an ideal triad relationship (from what I understand anyway), I think they could make good partners in crime. 

9. Flora and Fauna and Merryweather a.k.a the Three Good Fairies

Now these hoes. I’ve heard some dispute somewhere that they may or may not be sisters but I distinctly remember them only being referred to as “the three good fairies”. Older women (fairies) who have known each other for a very long time. But they dead ass raised a daughter together as mortals, in the same cottage for 16 years. We’ve seen said cottage and we’ve seen Aurora’s bedroom but anyone can see that there’s no way there was enough from in that cottage for 3 individual bedrooms or even one room for three twin beds (maybe bunk beds if they had existed in the 14th century). They’re depicted as incompetent characters in Malificent but they aren’t that way in the 1959 Sleeping Beauty. In fact, they’re portrayed as willing to do anything for their daughter. Not to mention the constant bickering of Flora and Merryweather being pacified by Fauna. That is typical married old couple behavior right there. Being 1959 there’s no way anyone was ready for a polyamorous triad of fairies in a children’s animated feature but that’s basically what they gave us. 

10. Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington and Jonathan Byers

This is also a hard one. Because similar to Glinda and Fiyero’s relationship Steve and Nancy were together for high school politics. In this scenario Steve is Glinda because he gets left behind to ponder on his life as a shallow popular high school king. But protecting Jonathan and Nancy with that homemade nail bat from that demagorgan is what any good partner would do for his other partners. 

The reason this one is tricky is not only because Steve got left behind but also because the relationship dynamic is pretty unequal. Because while Nancy and Steve are together at the beginning of Season 2, it’s clear they’re still putting on a facade that things can go back to normal for them during their senior year of high school. By the end of Season 2 Nancy is officially with Jonathan and Steve is not only left behind but he’s left behind to take care of the kids. 

Not to mention Steve and Jonathan don’t necessarily have a good relationship with each other. Although I think Steve has been humbled down in Season 3 after realizing his glory days are more or less behind him. But we don’t get a lot of interaction between these three anymore. 

I’m not really sure where I’m going with this one besides the fact that I think there’s some potential somewhere here. Especially with the introduction of Robin. I feel like she could be a great sexual awakening for a lot of the characters in this show. 

BONUS:  Bellamy Blake and Clarke Griffin and just about anyone

It doesn’t have to be Raven. Honestly it could be any character who has a good relationship with both Clark and Bellamy. I think it’s safe to say a majority of the fandom is holding out for Bellark to ride off into their sunset but I think they’d be pretty inclusive to someone else they have a strong relationship with. I haven’t watched the series in a really long time so I don’t know if there is a character left alive who fits that description but the characters have definitely formed a pack mentality of survival and sticking close. I imagine if they (Clark, Bellamy, and their third partner) would have kids they’d have the same protective circle. 

[mischiefandspirits]

Iron Legion (12/?)

Never let it be said that Tony Stark ever does things by half. He might have grown up with little family, but he wasn’t about to keep it that way.

Tony Stark was seventeen when his first child was born, and that was just the beginning.

For Masterpost, AO3, and Fanfiction

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brigid

Tony Stark was thirty-seven when Rescue was born.

Tony climbed into the car and hit the gas. “Jay?”

“Sir?” the AI asked as they sped away from the hospital.

“Let Tori know Christmas is going to be in Tennessee.”

“Right away.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Take away everywhere there’s been a Mandarin attack.”

He glanced through the locations and he froze as he saw one that was both unexplained and nerve-wracking.

Rose Hill, Tennessee.

“That?” he said, pointing at it. He listened to J.A.R.V.I.S. explain with a sinking heart.

“Right, change of plans. Set Tori and the kids up with a vacation far from Tennessee.”

“Not feeling up to a trip to The Volunteer State?”

“I think we’ll take a trip on our own. Maybe it’s time to finally take the kids to Disney World.”

“Creating a flight plan for Tennessee. I have messaged Mrs. Keener and rerouted Master Peter’s flight. Should I reroute Dum-E and U as well?”

“Send them to the Tower. They don’t need to be running around an amusement park. They’ll have more fun bothering Bruce. Wait, Peter? Where’s Nebula?”

“Upstairs, helping Ms. Potts pack.”

Tony was stopped from asking more by the doorbell.

He went upstairs to greet his guest, but their conversation was cut short by luggage falling from the second floor.

“Tony, is somebody there?” Pepper called.

“Yeah, it's Maya Hansen.” He looked over to see her giving a laugh as she realized he did remember her. “Old botanist pal that I used to know, barely.” He spotted Nebula following Pepper down the stairs, another set of luggage in her arms and something occurred to him. He leaned over to Maya and whispered, “Please don't tell me that there is a twelve-year-old kid waiting in the car that I've never met.” He really did have enough of those.”

“He's thirteen.”

Tony’s pretty sure his arc reactor stopped working for half a second.

“No, I need your help.”

Thank god. He glanced to the side with a sigh and caught Nebula’s gaze. She sent him a look and he suddenly remembered the cybernetic enhancements her ears had.

“Right, you need to go,” she said, marching up to them. “Mr. Stark is just about to leave. Call the office. I’m sure F.R.I.D.A.Y. can fit you in sometime after he’s back from vacation.”

Maya snorted. “I read the papers. Frankly, I don't think he'll last the week. This can’t wait.”

“He’ll be fine.”

“I will be fine,” Tony agreed.

“I'm sorry. With Happy in the hospital, I didn't know we were expecting guests,” Pepper said, coming to his side.

“We weren't.”

“She’s just leaving,” Nebula added.

“Nebula, escort her out please,” Tony said before turning to Pepper. “So there’s been a change of plans.”

“Wait -” Maya called, but Nebula grabbed her arm and forced her along.

“What change?”

“Something’s going on in Tennessee that might be connected to the Mandarin so you guys are going to Disney World.”

“Us?”

“Yes.”

“What about you?”

“Well -”

“Oh no, it’s Christmas. You are not doing this.”

“It won’t take long. I’ll meet you before it’s even time to open presents. Pete’s already on his way and Jay sent a message to Tori. Speaking of which, why is Nebula still here?”

“Because you gave a terrorist our address!”

“That’s exactly why she shouldn’t be here! I can’t protect all of you!”

“Maybe you should have thought about that before!”

“I wasn’t thinking before!”

“Clearly!”

“Pep-”

The world exploded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Freeze!” Tony looked up at the boy standing in the doorway. “Don’t. Move.”

Tony turned to the boy and the kid lowered his potato gun.

“Dad? What are you doing here?”

“What am I doing here? What are you doing here?” Tony huffed. “You, Tori, and Val should be heading to Florida.”

“Mom’s at the diner finishing her shift. We’re leaving in the morning. Didn’t Jay tell you.”

“Jay’s not feeling too good,” he said, glancing over at the armor.

“Woah, that looks bad,” Harley said, walking up to the armor. “Poor guy. What did dad do to you?”

“The house got blown up. I’m fine by the way.”

“Technically, you’re dead.” Harley tossed him a newspaper. “Be glad Mom didn’t see that.”

“A valid point. Thanks, kid. Where’s Val?”

“Inside with Old Molly from next door. I told her I was spending the night in the workshop. You gonna fix him?” Haley asked, moving the helmet around.

“Of course.”

“You know, if you’d let me work on him and War Machine -”

“It’s Iron Patriot now.” Tony still couldn’t believe he’d let Rhodey talk him into letting them rebrand him. This sends a better message. Yeah, a message that Ellis wanted more of Captain America, but better.

“That's way cooler!” Harley gasped.

“You’re disowned.”

The kid just rolled his eyes and turned back to the armor. “Anyways, I would have added in um… the retro…” he trailed off trying to think of the name.

“Retroreflective panels?” Tony offered.

Harley nodded. “To make him a stealth mode.”

“You want a stealth mode?”

“Cool, right?”

“That's actually a good idea. Maybe I'll build one.”

Harley grabbed the gauntlet and a finger broke off. “Oops.”

“Right, leave your brother alone and go get me a few things.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pepper was staring out at the destruction, tears in her eyes and Tony’s helmet in her hands, when Nebula’s head shot up.

“What’s -”

She cut off as she heard a beeping coming from the helmet. They shared a look and Pepper slid the helmet on. When the message was over she took it off and turned to Nebula. “Do you know where he is?”

“Rose Hill.”

That surprised Pepper. “Why’d he go there?”

“I don’t know. Maybe he’s worried about Harley, Aunt Victoria, and Valeria. It’s too dangerous to get on a plane though. This Mandarin could shoot us out of the sky. I’ll get us a car.”

Pepper nodded and turned towards the ambulance. “And I’ll get Hansen. I don’t think it’s a coincidence she showed up right now demanding to speak with Tony.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harley booked it as soon as the bad guy turned to him, but it wasn’t enough and the man caught him.

“Gotcha, brat,” he snarled grabbing his arm. He tugged him closer with a smirk. “Let’s hope you do a better job at persuading Stark to listen. For your sake.”

BLAM!

The man toppled backwards, shoulder smoking from the bright blue blast that had hit it. Harley turned to see his mom standing in the road, the arc-gun Dad had given her in hand.

“Mom? What are you doing here?”

The glare she shot him had a wild edge and he flinched back. “I don’t know. I mean first your father sends a poorly hidden warning to get out of town, then everyone was talking about Tony Stark’s demise in the diner.” Somewhere nearby, something exploded and Harley hoped Dad wasn’t near it. “And then there’s that! What do you think I’m doing here? The better question is what are you doing here? Why aren’t you at home?”

“Well -”

There was a crunch behind him and Harley spun around, backing away as the bad guy got onto his feet.

Mom leveled her gun at him. “Come any closer and I shoot you in the head, only warning.”

The man snorted and took a step forward. “Listen here you l-”

Mom shot him in the head and he collapsed.

“I warned him,” she muttered, lowering the gun and turning on Harley. “Talk.”

“I was just…” Harley saw Dad shuffling out of the bar he’d went to before, flipping through a folder. “Dad!”

“Your father’s here?” Mom asked, but he was already running forward.

Dad froze, staring at him with wide eyes.

“Dad, are you okay?”

“Stark,” Mom growled low enough not to grab attention while she marched straight passed Harley and grabbed Dad’s shirt with one hand, the gun still in the other. “Why is my son out here in the middle of the night nearly getting abducted?”

“Abducted!?” Dad stared at him with wide eyes, scanning for injuries.

“I’m fine. Mom shot the guy.”

“You’re supposed to be on your way home.”

Mom rolled her eyes. “Stark, how have you not realized children don’t listen? You have three kids!”

“Seven,” Dad and Harley corrected.

“For the record, J.A.R.V.I.S., U, and Peter are well-behaved children! And Nebula’s never gotten into trouble she couldn’t get herself out of. It’s not my fault Harls apparently takes after Dum-E and Fri.”

“For the record, New York was Peter’s idea,” Harley pointed out before remembering his dad’s freak out last time he brought up the battle. “Wait, I didn’t mean to say New York! Don’t freak out again!”

“Again? What does he mean again?”

“Nothing,” Tony said, looking pale. He put a hand over Harley’s mouth and waved at her with the folder. “I’d just like to point out that none of this would have happened if you were on your way to Florida like you were supposed to be.”

“I’m sorry. Not everyone can just bend to the will of Tony Stark. I know this is a foreign concept to you, but I have a job and I’d like to keep it.”

Fire engine sirens cut through the air and the three turned to look at the nearby burning building.

“I need to go,” Dad said, walking over to the car the bad guy had shown up in.

“We’re not done talking about this!” his mom snapped, pulling Harley out of the road.

“See you in Florida! Kid, keep an eye on you know what!”

They watched him drive off before Mom turned to him. “You have a lot of explaining to do. Let’s start with what you meant by freak out.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Aldrich Killian forced his way into their room and grabbed Pepper by the neck, Nebula was immediately at his side, gun drawn.

“Drop her.”

He turned a smile on her. “Honey, y-”

She shot him in the chest point-blank and he crashed into the room service cart.

“Pepper, Maya, take cover,” she growled, marching up to him as he pulled himself up.

“Wait, he’s -”

“It’s okay, Nebula can handle him,” Pepper said, cutting Maya off.

“You don’t understand!”

Killian made to knock the gun out of her hand and she let him, using the move to grab his wrist and twist his arm behind his back before pinning him to the wall.

“Give up,” she said as he futilely struggled against her strength.

His response was a smirk before his skin lit up a flickering orange underneath her hand.

She raised an eyebrow as she felt her skin began to melt from the heat coming off his own, but didn’t loosen her grip. “If you insist,” she said and clocked him over the head, dropping him when he fell unconscious.

She turned to the other two women. “We need to leave right now.”

“Your hand,” Maya said and Nebula followed her gaze to see the hologram around her limb flickering, having problems calibrating with the missing skin.

“It’s a prosthetic, hidden with holograms. It’ll be fine. Mr. Stark can patch it up when this is over. Grab your things.”

Pepper went to work, closing up her bags, not minding anything she might leave behind. Nebula followed, but Maya stayed standing where she was, staring at Killian in shock. After a moment, Pepper turned to speak to her, but paused when she saw something.

“Nebula!”

She spun around just in time to see an unfamiliar man tossing a chair at her. She tried to brace herself, but didn’t have time and both her and the chair went crashing through the window she’d been standing in front of.

The next thing she knew, she was lying atop a dented car having lost time. Groaning, she pulled herself free of the car and rolled down to the ground. She hissed when her still-healing leg took her weight, but ignored it and shuffled towards the front of the building.

“Rivera, make sure the girl is dead then join us at the airfield,” someone said over a phone and Nebula slid into the tall bushes next to the wall. “Killian, Potts, and Hansen already went on ahead.”

“Yessir,” a woman answered as she turned the corner.

As soon as the call disconnected, Nebula hooked her arm around the woman’s neck and dragged her into the bushes. She unsheathed her repulsor and let Rivera see it before placing it over her chest. “Are you willing to bet that you can regrow a heart or do you want to tell me where your boss took Pepper?”

The woman began to glow orange and Nebula tightened her grip.

“Nice try. Your boss already figured out that doesn’t work.”

Rivera tilted her head up to glare at her and froze, the light going out. “Wh-what are you?”

Nebula blinked, then she realized her arms were darker than they should be. She dragged the woman closer to her and let her voice become metallic and monotone. “Tell me where she is.”

“Miami! They’re in Miami! The boss has a house there!”

Nebula knocked her out like she’d done Killian then walked back over to the dented car and searched the top for her mask. She slipped it on and pulled out her phone, thankful it had been in her front pocket so hadn’t been crushed.

“F.R.I.D.A.Y.,” she said when her sister answered. “Call the police to my location then get me a flight to Miami.”

“On it.”

She hung up then called Peter.

“Nebs! What’s going on? I thought we were going to Harley’s! Why am I in Orlando? Why is no one answering their phones except Fri? She just says there was a change of plans, but won’t tell me anything else! The news is saying dad’s dead! He’s not, right? Please tell me he’s not! I -”

“Peter, calm down. Father’s fine. He’s just dealing with some bad guys. If you’re in Orlando then Harley, Valeria, and Aunt Victoria will be there soon. Just stay in whatever hotel room F.R.I.D.A.Y. or J.A.R.V.I.S. booked for you. Everything’s fine.”

“Okay. You’ll tell me if something bad happens, right?”

“Of course,” she lied.

“Thanks, Nebs.”

“I’ve got to go now,” she said as police cars entered the parking lot. “Be safe and run it by F.R.I.D.A.Y. before you order anything from room service.”

“That was one time!”

She hung up on him and approached the officers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“You should've already been gone.”

“I am just beyond terrified.”

“Here it comes.”

BANG! BANG!

Tony blinked and looked to the upper floor as his guards collapsed. “Nebula? What are you doing here?”

“Saving you, clearly,” she said, vaulting over the banister and landing on the lower floor.

His eye twitched. He knew the drop was nothing for her, but that didn’t make him any less nervous every time she did something like that.

Above them, a window shattered as his gauntlet flew in to wrap around his hand.

“I don’t need you to save me,” he said, pulling himself free. “I was doing that myself.”

“I’m also saving Pepper.”

“I was doing that too. It’s all covered.” His boot flew in and he lifted his foot slightly so it could latch on. “Go home.”

She stared at him for a moment then crossed her arms. “Where’s the rest of your suit?”

He glanced over at the window then crossed his own arms. “It’s coming.”

“Uh-huh.” She turned. “Come on, let’s go find Pepper.”

“And here I counted you among the well-behaved children,” he muttered, following her out.

The rest of the suit joined them as they made their way outside.

“Is that Uncle Rhodey?” Nebula asked, looking up, and Tony followed her gaze to see the Iron Patriot flying away.

“It’s his armor, but I’m guessing it’s not him.”

“I’m going to kill Killian,” Nebula growled. “Can you fly?”

Short answer, he couldn’t.

They were making their way towards the main house when he received a call.

“Tony!”

“Rhodey, tell me that was you in the suit!”

“No. You got yours?”

“Um, mm, kind of. Main house, fast as you can. Somebody I’d like you to meet. Also, I’m handling all your tune-ups from now on. That’s twice the airforce chose crackpots to do your upgrades.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nebula stared at the ridiculous amount of suits as they began mowing through the Extremis enhanced army before turning to her father. “We are definitely getting you a therapist.”

Uncle Rhodey and Father turned to her in shock.

“What?”

She pointed at him. “You think Aunt Victoria didn’t tell me that Harley saw you have a panic or anxiety attack? And now this? This is not a healthy coping mechanism.”

“It’s not a coping mechanism at all! It’s -”

“An obsession.”

“Tony,” Uncle Rhodey cut in, setting his hand on Father’s shoulder. “Maybe she’s right. You looked pretty bad when -”

“Oh look, my ride’s here,” Father said as a suit landed behind him and started to wrap around him.

“This isn’t over,” Nebula said.

“I’ll have Fri schedule you in for never.”

“Hey, give me a suit too,” Uncle Rhodey called before he could fly off. He tucked his gun into his waistband and held out his arms.

“Oh, I’m sorry. They’re only coded to me.”

“What’s that mean?”

“I got you covered.” He shut his faceplate and took off.

A moment later, another suit landed next to them. “Good evening, Colonel. Can I give you a lift?” J.A.R.V.I.S. asked.

“Very funny.”

“Would you like a lift as well?” her brother added, turning to Nebula.

“I’ll walk. Please tell me you’re the only one in there.”

“I am.”

“Thank God. We don’t need any more siblings.”

“Indeed.” He shot off with Uncle Rhodey in his arms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Pepper awoke, her world was orange. Orange and yellow and red. Flames surrounded her and filled her, flickering through her skin in an eerie glow.

“Tony,” she choked out, remembering his face staring down at her with terrified grief.

Shoving aside sheets of metal, she clawed her way out of the flames.

She gasped when she finally made it out and oxygen flooded her lungs. Coughing sent a cloud of smoke and ash out of her mouth until a pain she hadn’t noticed before left her chest.

As she struggled to her feet, she looked around at the destruction surrounding her and swatted embers off the fire-resistant clothing she’d been forced into.

“Tony,” she repeated in a whisper, stumbling forwards.

With every step, she felt her strength returning, so when she finally spotted him sitting on the ground, staring at one of his helmets, she felt stronger than ever.

Then Killian came lurching out of the wreckage in front of him.

The flames that had been licking at her consciousness since she had awakened, threatening to overwhelm her, surged up with her anger. She reached down for a pipe and stomped towards him as he began to monologue for her boyfriend.

She slammed the pipe into his head with enough force to send him flying.

When she came back to herself, she was staring into the face of an explosion, an Iron Man gauntlet on her arm. She could remember everything, but it felt disjointed from her mind.

“Honey?”

She glanced at Tony, then back to the fire. “Oh my God,” she panted heavily, raising her bare hand before dropping it again. “That was really violent.”

She felt the flames licking tamely at her mind and shoved them down as far as they could go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“How are they doing?”

Pepper looked over to see Nebula walking up to her makeshift hospital bed before turning back to where Tony and Bruce were spewing science at each other.

“Judging by their tones, good. Either that or they’re about to blow something up again.”

“They’re like children,” Nebula chuckled before lowering her voice so Bruce couldn’t overhear. “It’s good that Father is finally making friends that can keep up with him, but at what cost?”

Pepper snorted and lowered her own voice. “Speaking of children, how are the boys?”

“Ecstatic. Last I heard, they’re trying to talk Aunt Victoria and Uncle Rhodey into convincing Father that he needs to build an Avengers-themed amusement park. They’ve already got a list of rides for him to make.”

“Don’t let him hear you. He might just take them up on it,” Pepper laughed and Nebula joined her.

“How is your work going?” the young woman asked, sitting next to her on the bed.

“I’ve got a few psychiatrists I’m checking, but Tony’s being…”

“A brat about it?” Nebula suggested.

“He seems to think he can just talk it out with Bruce after they’re all done and that will be enough. I might have agreed, but after what Harley and Rhodey said about his anxiety attacks, on top of everything else, I really think he needs professional help.”

“As smart as Father is, he’s an absolute idiot when it comes to self-care,” Nebula sighed. She glanced at the two men and asked, “So how much of the Extremis are they planning to take out of you?”

“All of it?” Pepper said, confused.

“Pity. You retaining some of the abilities would have been preferred.”

Pepper shook her head and grabbed her tablet. “I have no desire to be a superhero.”

“Who said anything about superheroes?” She gestured towards herself. “I’m stronger and more durable than normal humans, but I’m not jumping to join the Avengers.”

“You spent the invasion knocking people out and then helped the Hulk take down Loki,” Pepper pointed out.

“Helping is a generous way of putting it, and I was just doing my job as security for the tower. I’m not going to join the Captain’s merry band on their missions any time soon. Having some extra strength and durability in your back pocket doesn’t mean you would even have to use it. It would just be good to have in case of an emergency. Like if you get kidnapped. You wouldn’t have to rely on us.”

Pepper studied the young woman for a moment before her eyes went soft and she took her hand. She didn’t say anything, knowing Nebula was as allergic to emotions as her father could be, but she understood that this was Nebula’s way of saying she had been both worried for Pepper and guilty for failing to protect her.

“I’ll think about it,” she allowed after a moment. “Want to help me sort through the psychiatrists in the meantime?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tony and Pepper watched Peter and Nebula bicker over Mario Kart in the living room of the New York condo they were staying in until the tower’s penthouse was finished. The two were out on the balcony, sharing drinks and enjoying the evening air.

Tony chuckled when Nebula shoved her brother off the couch before turning to Pepper. “You sure about this, Pep? We can still up the dosage.”

She rolled her eyes and took a sip of her wine. “For the last time, yes.” She leaned over and pressed a kiss to his cheek. “Nebula and I talked about it and… Tony, I know you’re not going to give Iron Man up completely. You’re probably never going to give it up.”

“I am Iron Man,” he chuckled nervously. He set his glass down on the railing and pulled her into his arms. “Pepperoni -”

She set her finger on his lips. “It’s okay. It’s a part of you. I’m still not comfortable with you endangering yourself like that, but I understand.” Her arms slid around his neck and she pressed their foreheads together. “If knowing I can protect myself makes that easier on you, makes sure you’re focused on coming home to me at the end of the day, then I can deal with running a little hot.” He got a gleam in his eyes and she narrowed hers. “Don-”

“You’re more than a little hot.”

She shook her head and kissed him, Tony eagerly participating.

“They’re busy Nebs! Why can’t you make it!”

They pulled apart at the shout and turned to see Peter at the door to the balcony.

“Hey! You were supposed to pau-” his voice cut off as he closed the door.

The two chuckled and Pepper kissed his cheek again. “We should probably go separate them before we lose the rental deposit.”

“They’ll be fine for a few minutes,” Tony hummed, tugging her closer and pulling a jewelry box out of his pocket.

She opened it to find a beautiful necklace sitting inside, silver with a heart-shaped garnet pendant that was lined in diamonds and had a small teardrop diamond hanging from the tip. The most noticeable features, though, were the irregularly-shaped pieces of metal embedded into the chain.

“It’s gorgeous,” she said, running a finger up the chain.

“It’s from the heart, literally,” Tony chuckled, tapping his chest.

She looked up at him with a frown, then her eyes widened.

He held up his hands. “They were sanitized. Twice. Promise! I can have the chain replaced if you don’t like it. I just -”

She pushed the box into his hands and turned around, pulling up her hair. “Put it on me?”

He beamed and pulled the necklace out. He let his hands linger after draping it around her neck and clasping it.

She slowly turned back to him and they took each other in.

Something crashed loud enough to be heard through the reasonably soundproof door and they both sighed.

In the living room, they could see Nebula glaring at her brother while she held him up by his ankles.

Tony shook his head and opened the door. “Do you two mind? We were having a moment.”

“Twelve percent of a moment?” Peter asked innocently, not at all perturbed about being upside down.

“Who told you about that? Is Jay selling me out again?”

Pepper chuckled as she watched the family bicker and the warmth that filled her chest had nothing to do with the experimental drug in her veins.
