Summary: work and personal blur together as an employee takes a special interest.

As usual, I would appreciate any and all feedback. I’m happy to once more go on this adventure with all of you! Thank you in advance for your comments and for reblogging ❤️

Jake flips up the lid of the box, the smell of pepperoni steaming into the dim glow of monitors. He really should think about cutting down on pizza, it’s starting to give him indigestion, but he just doesn’t have the time to cook. Between work and... his hobbies, he barely gets any sleep. 

That night is not much different than the one before or the next. He burns the roof of his mouth with the first slice as he’s fixated once more on her. The cameras catch her every move as she wafts around the large house like forlorn wraith. The lens gives him a direct line to her loneliness. 

She’s in her silk black robe and matching nightie. They hug her curves perfectly as furry slides cling to her feet. She’s as refined in her leisure as she is standing by his desk asking for an update. 

Nano is a good boss. The first manager he’s had that even understand his job. He delved into her extensive background in development and backend management. She really doesn’t look like the stereotype. But he does. 

She pours herself a glass of wine. The censor for the davenport triggers. He redirects his attention to the white SUV pulling in. Late is not so better than never. Jake is never late. Never for her. 

He switches back to the kitchen where she leans on the square marble island and sips. She’s unaware, or even indifferent, to her husband’s return. The cabernet usually signals that she’s headed for bed. 

She sits up as she hears her husband enter. Andy is in no hurry as he unlaces his shoes then shrugs out of his jacket. Jake should’ve placed the camera on the other side. This angle is awkward. Well, he had limited time when he wired the house. 

She looks over as Andy enters the kitchen. She doesn’t say anything. He mutters and goes to the fridge. He takes out a bottle of beer. 

“Long day,” he pops the cap with his hand. 

“Tell me about it,” she says as she puts the stopper in the bottle and sets in back in the rack. She takes her glass and struts off. He remains and drains half the beer before he follows. 

He finds his wife upstairs. Why he even made her that is a mystery to Jake. He doesn’t treat her like one. Not like a husband should. 

She sits in bed and balances her wine and her ebook. She’s working her way through an interesting fantasy series. It surprised him to know she was so far into it. He always thought she’d be into those romance rags or the bestseller thrillers. 

“You’re mad?” Andy asks as he strips off his blazer. 

She hums. 

“Like I said, long day. Work was a lot.” 

“Andrew,” she doesn’t look up from her book. 

He’s silent as he unbuttons his shirt. He peels it down his arms and drops it in the hamper. He nears the bed as he looks her over. 

“What’d I forget?” He asks. 

She clucks, “you tell me. For once, Andy,” she drops the ebook and empties the glass before slamming it on the night stand. “I’m not your goddamn secretary, I’m your wife.” 

“Honey,” he sighs. “Work--” 

“I work too,” she flicks him away with her fingertips. “But I guess I don’t work as hard as you. Oh, the leftovers are in the fridge. Take them for lunch so they don’t rot.” 

She rolls onto her side and pulls the duvet to her shoulders. Her husband shifts. He shakes his head and continues to undress. 

He comes up beside her and nudges her. She ignores him. He’s persistent. He stretches out behind her and wraps her in his thick arm. 

“Honey, I’m sorry I missed date night. No more excuses,” he purrs as he caresses her cheek. “I love you. I don’t want you to go to bed angry.” 

“Well, I am,” she sneers. 

He kisses her hair and whispers. She doesn’t react. He continues to nuzzle her as his hand roves her body. 

Jake puts the pizza aside. His appetite dissolves. Don’t let him do it. Don’t. He doesn’t deserve it. 

She shimmies over and rolls onto her back. Andy kisses her. She lets him. She lifts the duvet over him and he angles his body over hers. Jake sighs but doesn’t look away. 

He’s hard even if he is burning with jealous. Andy grunts as he shifts around under the duvet. She bends her knees so they poke up on either side of his thick torso. The duvet slips.  

Andy strokes himself as Jake resists the same. Her husband grows frustrated as he struggles to get inside her. She grips his shoulder and reaches down to help him. He huffs and shoves her away. 

He growls and gives up. He bounces off of her and sits on the edge of the bed. He clutches his head as he hunches. She drops her legs. 

“Sorry, I must be tired,” Andy utters. 

She hums derisively. She pulls the blankets over her again, “next time.” 

“Yeah,” her husband scoffs and stands up. 

He crosses the room and rips his robe away from the hook behind the door. He leaves her in a dark cloud and she hangs her head. It’s a while before she moves again. 

She reaches into her drawer and pulls out the little rose gold vibrator. She shuts off the light and he listens to her breathing and her moans. He’s sad for her. She deserves more effort than that. She deserves to be cherished. 

Another camera activates. He hates to look away from the writhing figure on night vision. Andy is in the front room. The glow of his phone is cradled in his hand, his other is... 

Huh. Interesting. How’s it that he can’t get it up for his own wife but he’s down there doing just fine with a screen? Well, Jake can figure it out. He can figure anything out. It’s why he is Nano’s favourite employee.

I believe in my heart of hearts that the Lego Batman movie exists in DC and that it was created by the batfamily as a way to throw off the conspiracy theorists

Maybe the superhero forums were getting too close to realizing their identities again. maybe one of their injuries had accidentally gotten spotted by the paparazzi. maybe they were just running out of plausible alibis. maybe they just wanted to be funny.

Bruce gave the world the "do the butts match" meme. His children give the world a cinematic masterpiece.

Summary: work and personal blur together as an employee takes a special interest.

Jensen checks his phone. He’s distracted. In several different directions. He can’t focus on work because his phone keeps flashing with new messages. He can barely comprehend what’s being said in the discord as his eyes keep drifting back to the office door.

He hasn’t seen Nano since the day. She didn’t come back before he finished up for the day and he didn’t stick around because the meeting. That meeting that turned into nearly a whole night of anxiety.

‘How are they?’ Peter asks.

Jensen’s relieved at least one other person has a semblance of stability. Peter is asking the questions that need to be asked. The ones he’s too tired to think of.

He looks at her door again. She found out. Jensen saw the footage. The suit jackets shredded with scissors and the paint poured over the white SUV. He just needs to figure out his next steps. She’s going to be emotional, vulnerable. He has to be understanding.

Heels hit the floor like a hammer. Jensen glances over as Nano stomps up and unlocks her office. She doesn’t look at anyone but her expression is vacant. She’s not giving anything away. He admires that in her. Admires and empathizes with it.

She’s strong. So strong she doesn’t let herself feel what she needs to. She locks it all up inside as she works herself hollow. She doesn’t need to do all that. He will make her see that she deserves better. She deserves him.

His stomach is doing somersaults. He still doesn’t have a plan. He can’t just go in and offer her a shoulder to cry on. She’s not the type anyway. No one would guess that her life is shattered to pieces.

Another set of footsteps approaches. Jensen sits up and cranes around. He nearly chokes on his surprise. What is he doing here?

Jensen’s only ever seen Andy in person a few times. He doesn't come around often, not to surprise his wife with flowers or even just a bit of attention. Well, it’s all out know. He’s a cheat, scum, useless. And he’s head right for her office.

Nano won’t like that. She doesn’t bring the personal to work. It’s entirely inappropriate but Andy is the type to force it. Why did they ever get married?

Jensen is up on his feet before he realises what he’s doing. He quick steps in front of Andy, blocking him with his arm, just a foot from Nano’s door. The slimy lawyer sneers at him.

“Excuse me, I’m here to see my wife,” Andy growls.

“She’s busy. She said no one gets in.” Jensen lies. He’s been doing a lot of that lately.

“She’s my wife,” Andy steps closer but Jensen doesn’t budge.

“I know but she’s working. She has a very important project. She’s not to be disturbed.”

“Would you get out of my way? I need to talk to my wife,” Andy snarls.

“Not happening, dude,” Jensen crosses his arms.

“Get out of my way, dweeb--”

“I’m not a dweeb,” Jensen bristles. He thinks of how this idiot took her for granted. How he threw away a marriage with the perfect woman. How he hurt her so deeply. “And she doesn’t want to see you.”

“I don’t need you to tell me what my wife wants--”

“I think you do, considering you can’t be bothered to give it to her. No, you’re fucking that intern.” Jensen scoffs. “So, no, you’re not going to get past me because she doesn’t need you ruining her day more than you already have.”

“Mind your own fucking--”

“Jake,” Nano’s voice drones flat through her husband’s grit. “Is there a problem out here?”

Jensen backs up and turns to see her. He clears his throat and rubs the back of his neck. His eyes ping between husband and wife. She looks at Andy.

“Oh,” she utters grimly. “Talk to my lawyer. Jake, in my office. We need to discuss your last report.”

“Nano,” Andy calls after her.

“You have their number,” she doesn’t look back.

Jensen grins smugly before he follows her. He shuts the door as she goes around her desk and sits. She stares at the monitor.

He meekly nears the desk and stands across from her. She sighs. She looks at him as her jaw ticks.

“How do you know?” She asks tersely.

He blinks, stunned by the venom in her voice.

“Know…?”

“About the intern. About my husband.” She scowls.

He gulps, “I…” he looks down. He shakes his head and shrugs. “I know a few people from his office…”

“Shit,” she hisses. “It’s barely been a day.”

He eases the breath out of his nose, a sigh of relief. He peeks up at her nervously. She’s focus on the computer again.

“Please, don’t tell anyone else.”

“Sure. I’m sorry. I was trying to help.” He says.

“Thanks,” she huffs. “Back to work.”

“Oh, alright,” he says, disappointment drowning him. “Just… if you need anyone to talk to--”

“No. No. Talking is the last thing I need,” she says. “Goodbye, Jake.”

He winces. Her voice is ice. She’s never spoken to him like that. It hurts.

Shoot. What if he ruined this? What if he just built a wall he can’t get through?

He turns and slowly leaves. He glances back at her one last time before he shuts the door. She’s exhausted, rigid, and dazed. Why wouldn’t she be? Cheating husband, demanding job, isolation…

She needs more than this. She deserves more than this. She’s so used to just bulldozing through everything that she can’t see what’s so obvious. There is better. He’s better.

She hurts right now but once he gives her everything, she’ll forget about all that pain.

He sits at his desk and opens the discord. His thumbs hover for a moment as his thoughts race. His lips twitch. He’s so close.

‘Won’t be long for me.’ He types. He knows he has to move fast. He needs to get her away from all this before it breaks her. He needs to take her away so he can help fix all the cracks left by this world.

U.N.G.C.C. Incident Report: Gojirin

U.N.G.C.C. Kaiju Subject #20: Gojirin/Godzillan/Godzillin/Female Gojiran

(image done by Matt Frank)

HEIGHT: 80 Meters, (Pre-Supercharge) 100 Meters

LENGTH: 200 Meters, 108 Meters (tail, Pre-Supercharge), 140 Meters (tail)

MASS: 50,000 Metric Tons (Pre-Superchagre), 60,000

THREAT LEVEL: 5

FOR AUTHORIZED EYES ONLY

Subject #20, classified by Kaijuologists as "Gojirin", translations varying from "Godzillin" and "Godzillan", is a female Gojiran, a surprise to scientists since sightings are a rarity. In the aftermath of Godzilla's (II) battle against Mothra and Battra, submarine attacks alerted international attention. Many thought it was Godzilla, but the psychic Miki Segusa reminded those at the meeting of the saurian's imprisonment via Mothra's seal. Not wanting to let this mystery Kaiju run rampant, naval ships from the JSDF, UK, and the United States were deployed to the Pacific. But, the ships were attacked by what survivors described as a pink-scaled Godzilla with hear-shaped dorsal fins. Gojirin, possesses the abilities and durability of the usual Gojiran, laid waste to the recon team, forcing a retreat.

The news shocked the U.N.G.C.C. G-Countermeasures council, while scientists were using the remains of the Simean war machine known as 'Mechagodzilla', creating one to defend humanity against Kaiju. Within months after Gojirin's existence was discovered, Mechagodzilla II was completed. Professor Leo Asimov, the roboticist and lead designer of the mech took notes from the Simean robot and suggested testing the mech against the recently discovered Gojirin. Many were unsure due to Mechagodzilla II being recently completed, Commander Takaaki Aso ordered the mech to be deployed. Especially since Godzilla's reemergence in Adona Island, unknown to G-Force at the time, contained what many thought to be a pteranodon egg.

Mechagodzilla flew to a countryside outside of Kyoto, where the female Gojiran was spotted. The two titans engaged in battle, where the mechanical saurian proved to be a match to Gojirin. Despite her ferocious tenacity, she was brought low by Mechagodzilla, who was about to deliver a killing blow. Until Godzilla blasted it with his Atomic Breath, thought impervious, distracted the pilots of the mech. As Mechagodzilla engaged in combat with its primary target, Gojirin continued her march to Kyoto. The reason for her and Godzilla coming ashore: the pteranodon egg was actually the egg of a Godzillasaurus. Kaijuologists hypothesized that Godzilla and Gojirin had entered companionship and the egg was laid by the latter. Judging by its persistence in honing in on the hatchling, the Monster King took on the role of a surrogate father.

Mechagodzilla was heavily damaged, barely making it back to G-Force to undergo repairs, forcing the organization to deploy Maser Tanks and planes against the Saurian pair. Miki Segusa and Azusa Gojo, objected to the monsters' destruction and the use of the hatchling, Godzilla Jr, as bait when Kaijuologists discovered that the Gojirans have a second brain located within the hips. Azusa accompanied the kaiju infant to calm it down, having imprinted her as a mother figure when it hatched. But, during transport to a designated area far from any populated areas, Gojirin intercepted the planes. Instead of blasting them with her Atomic Breath, not wanting to harm her offspring, she knocks the plane carrying Junior and Azusa, catching the carrier they were in. Commander Aso ordered Mechagodzilla to be deployed, thankfully with the mech having reached full repairs and modifications.

Gojirin was marching through a baseball stadium when Mechagodzilla reached her, engaging in a rematch. Its weapons and lasers proved too much for the concerned mother, being brought down once more. Until the arrival of her mate, Godzilla, where the scales tipped in the Saurians' favor. As Gojirin took out one of the mech's eyes, aiming to kill the pilots inside, the Garuda, originally designed to fight Kaiju before Mechagodzilla II's construction, arrived as it was piloted by formerly demoted G-Force pilot Kazuma Aoki. Getting the pair away from the mech, Aoki managed to get close to it to combine the two anti-Godzilla weapons into one powerful machine: Super Mechagodzilla!

The mech, more powerful than ever, blasted the female Gojiran with extreme prejudice; greatly wounding her. Godzilla, roaring in rage, unleashed a ferocious assault upon his mechanical doppelganger, due to the mech not having combat capabilities its design template had. However, Godzilla turned his attention to his injured mate, then to his surrogate son; leaving him open to be injured by the mech, which shot paralyzing missiles at its second brain. The King of Monsters went down, as ground troops, assisted by Aoki, freed Azusa and Junior; who cried out in response to the gruesome violence. Gojirin, seemingly knowing that her mate was in danger and her wound was grave, charged towards Mechagodzilla, but was shot down by the mech. But, it was a move of tactical thinking, which Godzilla would later demonstrate in his battle against Spacegodzilla, having the female Gojiran land upon the injured Monster King. Giving her energies to her mate, her radiation was used to repair Godzilla's second brain.

Revitalized and motivated to avenge his mate, Godzilla unleashed his upgraded Spiral Heat Ray, a move used to destroy the Simean Mechagodzilla years ago. The heat from the healed saurian and its attacks proved too much for Mechagodzilla II, forcing the pilots to abandon the mech. With the battle concluded, but Gojirin sacrificed herself for it to end, Godzilla approached Junior, who cowered in fear and was mourning the death of his biological mother. With convincing from Azusa and telepathic assistance from Miki, the baby kaiju marched to the sea with his surrogate father, traveling to Birth Island and taking up residence. Despite Gojirin's demise, her entire essence was used to heal Godzilla, preventing G-Force from acquiring her corpse for study.

watching cinder sweep lemon's poll is perhaps a predictable consequence of me rb'ing it to my modest army of rwby followers

but it's also hysterical given that mco connie lee, the random upper-class british woman who works for the occult censorship government agency, reliably defeats king crucible:

IN THE DESERT I WAIT IN THE RUINS I BURN - METAL IS WATER - STONE IS WAX - FLESH IS SMOKE - ENTER ME AND BE NO LONGER.

Forge 12 Edge 12. He can hide in a candle-flame if he must. But here he is in all his bonfire pomp. After I speak with him, the skin of my face and hands will be pink as if from too much sun.

you send this to kill her and she has a 70% chance to not only escape but extinguish him until you next summon him, and if that check fails she still has a second smaller chance to escape.

you feed her a poison that dissolves its victims down to literally nothing left but an invisible fading wisp of eldritch influence and she has a one in three chance to just fucking. SURVIVE THAT!

the only character in rwby who could beat connie lee is salem, and even then only because salem has infinite chances to try

mini update

now that i've finished up that ask stuff...

just wanted to give a heads up about where i'm at this week! as this is the first day of October, i know that DRDTtober should be starting now. (i've seen other people start to post their work and it looks awesome btw.) i still plan on doing DRDTtober, and wanted to put out my thing for the first prompt today, but i'm in a bit of a crunch period right now and decided that, of the items on my plate, that was the most delayable. so, i still intend on participating in DRDTtober, it might just be slanted towards the end of the month. or turn into DRDTvember. we'll see.

along those lines, i've also turned off my askbox for the moment. don't worry, i'll turn it back on by, like, next week or something. i just, again, am kind of busy right now and was desperately looking for something that i can mentally declare "done" and not have to come back to until i'm ready for it. i still have the asks about the secret swap AU and what David's plan was, though, and i fully plan on getting back to those when i have some more time.

it truly is just like these first few days of October that have suddenly become really busy for me, so hopefully i'll be deleting this post before the DRDT Chapter 2 finale even comes out. and, either way, i'll definitely find the time to watch the episode when it airs. i know it's probably not even that serious, but people have been talking to me on here, like, way more than they ever have in the past couple of months, so i didn't want anyone to feel like i was avoiding them or didn't care if i don't respond quickly. that's all! :)
