[gendryamas]

by @katlyn1948

“You know damn well, for you, I would ruin myself a million times over,” Arya whispered into Gendry’s ear as his arms embraced her a little tighter. The curls at the base of his neck had grown and she couldn’t help but fiddle with the strands as they stayed locked in a finite caress.

Their time together was dwindling, yet she couldn’t bear to part from him. How cruel the world was for him to leave again, only for her to stay behind and watch as he said his goodbyes. Every time she thought it would get easier, yet every time a little piece of her heart broke. Soon, it would be left in a million pieces that only he could fix.

“I have to go now, Arry.” His voice was smothered as he nuzzled the space between her ear and shoulder.

“Just a little longer,” she pleaded, her voice cracking under the emotional turmoil.

“They’ll wonder where you’ve been.”

“Let them.”

That was the thing about their illicit affair, how gloriously wonderful the clandestine meetings and stolen stares had become. A secret language only they could speak when their eyes would meet from across the room. It was a sanctuary just for them, their very own garden of Eden. But it was marred with lies and deceit. Only one single truth stood out, that she was irrevocably in love with this man.

“You’ve worn it again, the lavender.” He growls into her ear. “You know I love the lavender.”

A wicked smile played across her lips as her fingers crept up into the mass of curls atop his head, “Picked it just for you.”

“I want nothing more than to take you up against the wall. To make you scream my name like you’ve done a thousand times. To make you quiver in unadulterated ecstasy. But, love, if they find you down here with me, I’ll be gelded, and you’d be sent to a convent.”

She hated how right he was. They had been meticulous to leave no trace of their affair behind. Outside of their perfect garden, it was as if they didn’t exist. “If we must. But do not let it be days until I see you again. These last few have been nearly unbearable.” She pulled from his arms so she could look up into his cerulean eyes.

“They have me listed at the docks, inspection. I’ll be there for three days.” Again, another piece had broken knowing she’d be cold until he returned.

“Look, you’ve made an idiotic fool in love. Thought I’d never see it.” He wiped the single tear that fell from her glistening eyes before placing a soft kiss on her wanting lips, “I’d ruin myself for you, too.”

VIS2344

Hey everyone! This briefly introduces Arya Svitkona (Heartbreak), the MC of my FHR Fanfic, Remembering to Be Human. I wanted to give a bit of context as to why Ortega would be so amenable to forgiving Arya!

Hey. You asked for this report. This one is a weird case. Almost more of an antihero than a villain.

Note #3: Villain has not caused any civilian casualties, and nearly every altercation has been with another registered villain. They are not to be approached alone due to the remaining unknowns.

Confirmed VIS2344 Incidents:

#1. 1/23/20: Heritage Museum Incident

Situation Report:

VIS2344 (“Heartbreak”) arrived on the scene following a series of charges placed at strategic regions through the museum. It is worth noting that the explosions were placed the furthest from civilians at the museum. Analysis of the incident indicates these explosions were meant to cause disorder, not damage. VIS2344 then vandalized the new exhibits in the museum. The first Ranger on the scene, Herald (HIS4067), noted that VIS2344 was focused on the exhibit featuring former vigilante and Ranger associate Sidestep (HIS Unknown). Upon confrontation, VIS2344 led Herald outside, where the Ranger lost a physical confrontation. At this point, the second Ranger, Charge (HIS2098), arrived on the scene. Charge confronted VIS2344 and after a brief interaction, was also incapacitated. The third Ranger on the scene, Lady Argent (HIS4050), was able to force VIS2344 into retreating from the site. Lady Argent followed on foot where contact was lost in the sewers to the northwest of the museum. 

VIS2344R1 Post-Incident Interviews:

Herald (HIS4067):

Interviewer (I), Herald (H):

I: So, you were the first at the gala?

H: I never left. I was mingling and was in the restroom when the bombs went off. I went to make sure the people closest to the explosions were safe.

I: And what did you find?

H: Some had scrapes, but the explosions looked like they were meant to make a point, not hurt anyone.

I: Why would VIS2344 do that?

H: Can we just call them Heartbreak? I know that name has a bad…history, but it’s easier than the number.

I: We use the number for villains. Why would VIS2344 do that?

H: I don’t know. They didn’t seem to want to hurt anyone, at least not until they ran into us.

I: Can you tell me about your altercation?

H: I mean, what is there to tell? I was beaten. Badly. They nearly destroyed my knee. They told me their name and then knocked me out.

I: And that’s it?

H: Well, I guess the only other thing is that I found them at Sidestep’s exhibit. They seemed to be lost in thought after trashing the whole room. I tried to catch them by surprise, but their armor must have radar because they dodged at the last moment. 

I: Do you suspect any connection between the Sidestep exhibit and the name they chose for themselves?

H: It could be a connection. It’s too early to tell, though. A lot of people were hurt by Heartbreak. It could just be a person with a sick sense of humor, too.

End Interview.

Charge (HIS2098):

Interviewer (I), Charge (C):

I: What can you tell me about the gala incident?

C: We were beaten. 

I: That’s it?

C: That’s all I’m willing to talk about on record.

I: VIS2344 spoke to you. They didn’t speak to anyone else at length. Why you?

C: I think they know me. I don’t think I know them. They… they told me to question who I worked for. That there were secrets they knew that could bring down a lot of people. That’s all I’m going to say.

I: We need more than that.

C: I said that’s it.

End Interview.

Lady Argent (HIS4050):

Lady Argent would not return calls for a post-incident interview. It is understood that she lost to VIS2344 while in pursuit.

#2. 2/25/20: Carter Mansion Incident

Situation Report: Marshall Steel (HIS2000) encountered VIS2344 while on duty at the Carter mansion. Mayor Alvarez believed Carter’s life would be in danger. Steel reports that VIS2344 approached the mansion under stealth and disabled the electrical systems. At this point, VIS2344 and Steel had an altercation on the stairwell. During this, an unknown explosion destabilized the structure of the building. Steel reports that VIS2344 claimed to have nothing to do with the explosion and led efforts to rescue the staff of the house. They then sacrificed themselves to allow Steel to leave with the final trapped civilians and then disappeared. No body was recovered. It is believed VIS2344 escaped this incident.

VIS2344R2 Post-Incident Interviews:

Marshall Steel (HIS2000):

Interviewer (I), Steel (S):

I: So. They led you to the civilians?

S: No answer.

I: Did they set off the bomb?

S: Yes. They saved the civilians. They knew exactly where they were. And no, they did not set the bomb

I: How did they know where the civilians were?

S: I do not know. Telepathy is a rare boost. I doubt they have some sort of visual power. Could have been their helmet.

I: And the bomb? Do you believe them?

S: It wouldn’t make any sense for Heartbreak to set the bomb and then save the civilians. 

End Interview

#3. 4/12/20: Bridge Incident

Situation Report: Incomplete Report. Lady Argent (HIS4050) confronted VIS2344 on the bridge after VIS2344 had stopped the vehicle of District Attorney ***. Following a conversation with the DA, VIS2344 attacked Handyman (HIS4023). After the vigilante was subdued, VIS2344 fought Lady Argent. Argent and VIS2344 remained in combat until Argent fled the scene. Media reports show that Lady Argent had an inappropriate interaction with VIS2344. VIS2344 remained at the scene to speak with the DA and then interact with journalist Mia Ochoa. They then fled the scene before the LDPD could arrive.

VIS2344R3 Post-Incident Interviews:

Lady Argent (HIS4050) would not answer requests for interview.

Other Confirmed Incidents:

VIS2344 was reported to have stolen vast amounts of income from Umbral (VIS1670)

See Note #4

VIS2344 confronted several other registerees in the VIS

See Note #5

VIS2344 and Lady Argent have had several incidents that are filed under HIS4050.

Note #4: While it was done so anonymously, several corroborating reports show that the money stolen from VIS1670 was donated to several charities throughout LD. 

Note #5: No other heroes have been accosted by VIS2344. Several henchmen and VIS registerees were apprehended after VIS2344 confronted them. 

Private Notes from Registered Users:

(Accessed by Exterior User)

C: Something is weird with this one.

O: I agree. I’m confused why they haven’t done anything beyond beating on us. It felt personal. The name is personal.

C: We need to follow them closely. V’s interaction with HB wasn’t recorded. Probably for a reason. HB nearly died in that incident, but V tells me they seemed to want to die.

O: V said that? What did HB say?

C: A lot, in very few words. We should talk in person.

O: Fine. HB is almost doing a better job of cleaning up the streets than we are. 

C: Be careful what you put on here. Let’s talk in person.

O: K.

‘chapter one’

Across the lake, sitting on small hill you could hear the sounds of only the cicadas and the small waterfall flowing. The boys dormitory is quiet, illuminated by the soft glow of path lights and neon signs that flicker in the distance. The cool night air is still, shadows dance across the pavement, cast by the occasional Willcon secretary walking by.

        Dominic couldn't get her name past his lips like a slur, he watched from a far as she placed her brown lips onto a man. They kissed as if they'll never see each other again after they depart. As beautiful as she was, her dark femininity was a cover thrown over the soul. Dominic knew. She bit at his heart, picking it apart with her hands and threw the remains back in his face.

Dominic thought of her beauty as moonlight in a quiet garden. In his journal he referred to her as the moon because when darkness appears, she begins to rise.

It took strength of a thousand bulls for Dominic to not scream down from his bedroom window. Something in him knew she picked this spot because she knew he'd watch over her, she felt his almond eyes burning a hole through her skin. It was dark but he saw the man's hands traveled to her backside. it was now Dominic that was going insane.

" Close that window 'Dom, you're letting bugs in." drowsy from just awakening; his older brother startled him slightly with his words." it's three am...why the fuck are you awake this time?" He continued.

" no reason..just letting some air in my room." Dom began while taking one last glance at the two than slid down the window. "..i got hot." he finished, the now curious man rubbed his eyes and came further into his brother's room. There rooms were connected but only a wall separated them.

Seeing the temperature was a little warmer but that wasn't it. The look on his brother's brown face was knowing, Dominic let out a sigh of fatigue.

Eden approached his window, his arms crossed and a hum left his lips. " Dad already told you about her Dom-"

" When you started talking to Arya you didn't listen to dad so why the hell should I?" Dominic felt like the last couple months even years were just about defining her name. It was poison to his religious parents and the society they lived in.

" Arya didn't do what Cherry did Dom!" Eden stopped himself from getting any louder. With security walking the halls, he didn't want to cause madness.

" She sells drugs."

" Cherry slept with a teacher. A grown ass man." The jabs of his words knocked Dominic, Eden didn't have to go low but that was big factor people knew about Cherry.

" Out of all the people in this family i would think you'd have some sense but i guess i was wrong..cherry was fourteen, that man r-"

" Enough. " A voice that could hush a crowd and make them afraid came over the room. The two looked over at the door, Dominic grimaced to himself. His father stood in a solid red robe, his face was straight. Staring darts into his sons.

"Your mother is coming to town, I'd like the both of you to act accordingly." Mr. Hyde had a

presence that made you fix your posture. He was a man with a lot of power and put fear in people's hearts, his sons being the prime examples. Dom thinks his father is unbearably lonely , There's a quiet echo that seems to follow along behind him. Dragging like a prison ball chained to his ankle, or maybe That's just Dom projecting, maybe he's the prison ball. Opening his mouth and hoping the right words will fall out before he closes it again.

" You still seeing that little girl?" Mr. Hyde's voice was no longer low, he raised it just a little for him to strike fear. Dominic wasn't a afraid.

" Dad, Dom and i where just ta-"

" Go to your room Eden." Mr. Hyde told and with a faint yes sir Eden tracked back to his room. leaving Dom who was prepared to argue with his father. That's the only kind of thing they did these past couple of months.

" Boy, when i'm talking to you, you look me in the eyes." Dominic hesitates, he glanced at his text book and the thought of swinging it at his father crossed his mind but he didn't let his intrusive thoughts win. His brown eyes met his fathers hazel ones, Eden got blessed with those along with anger issues. Dom got his mothers attitude and face.

" I'm not seeing her at the moment." Dom didn't mean for it to come out as sarcastic but the anger in him made it seem that way.

" She's a whore just like her mother." Mr. Hyde waved his hands , indicating that he was fed up . "..A bad influence, you promised me you wouldn't go back near her-"

" I promised you that you wouldn't see me with her, you don't see me with her right now do y-" A burning sensation cut Dominic off. His face slightly turned and he stumbled.

" You respect me. "

Dominic said nothing, he looked back at his father, He wanted to scream.

"You and your mother have that same sorry look. You both make my life harder than in needs to be." Mr. Hyde also had words that'd cut you just as deep as his glare.

" If i see you with her again i'll send both of you back home. Promise me you won't go near her again. " He continues raising his finger. Dominic didn't break promises, his father knew that, He always used it against him.

" I-"

" Sir, you're wife just landed. She's on the phone." A faint voice interrupted, Mr. Hyde turned quickly to the young man in a suit and nodded.

" I'll be right there Wyler, thank you-"

"She doesn't sound pleased sir. She wants to talk...now." His assistant hinted that Gloria Hyde was in one of her moods and Dominic smiled to himself. Not just because a small moment happened to save him but the fact that's he's going to see his mother after months of just calls.

If it was up to Gloria  she would never step foot near Willcon or near her husband, But her close friend heard how beautiful the campus is in the spring and wanted to have her bridal shower there. Mr. Hyde hated the idea but realized he'd be getting paid so the no turned into a forced yes. His money hungry ways were passed down to his kids because Eden and Dominic both got jobs at the event. Dom's being more high paying than Eden's.

Mr. Hyde sighed to himself then turned to his son. He looked over his face in disgust, " you heard what i said...goodnight" With that, he turned from his youngest son and accompanied his assistant in the hall. He whispered towards him before he closed the wooden door.

Dom glared darts into that door before plotting down on his bed, His phone lit up from a unnecessary notification, He saw the faint 3 am and groaned. His mind didn't go to complaining about being up this early, it went to him curiously wondering why Cherry was out this late.

" I hate that nigga man. " A voice came storming through the shared room. The door opened and three men came in , in there pajamas. Eden shared a room with two other guys because there was no more room at Willcon. Dominic was lucky that he got the single bedroom, barely.

" He don't even know Cherry man. that's fucked up" Tracy grumbled, He was a boy with long dark hair he had it in a small bun for now, He wasn't as out spoken as his cousin Quincy who said anything that came to mind like Eden, thats why they were so close.

" I mean listen, let's not act like what he's saying isn't kinda true-"

" Get out." Dominic finally spoke with feeling. Eden slapped Quincy's  head for his words.

" Sorry but i'm not gonna sit and lie to you like these niggas are about to do." Quincy shrugged everyone in a way grimaced at him.

" Shut up nigga." Eden brushed him off and Tracy laughed.

" He can't force me to stay away from anyone in a grown ass man." Dom said and they looked at him. He was bouncing his leg up and down quickly. Eden walked over to him swiftly and sat next to him,

" Dad just doesn't want you to end up like he was...in bad things..because of cherry's mom-"

" Cherry's not in bad things, Eden! She's nothing like her mom." Dom exclaimed turning to him, Eden hushed him slightly and Dominic scuffed.

" Well her 'hanging' around Sam for the last couple of weeks isn't really helping." Tracy told, Even though he's all for sticking up for Cherry she's been making bad decisions lately.

" Better pray she's not putting shit it her nose with him." Quincy mumbled casing Dom to glance at him.

" What?" He said while walking closer to Quincy, he held his hands up in defiance.

" Sam and the people he fucks with are on that buga' suga' . That's why his ass always so fidgety" Quincy explained.

" Except Arya, she only does..weed" Eden chimed in not helping the situation because his girlfriend is known to work with Sam. Dom sighed to himself while rubbing over his face.

" You know Dom' you should come to one of my yoga classes sometime. " Tracy perked up and Dom slowly looked at him.

" When the fuck did you start a yoga class?" He asked.

" They're letting the people with high grades start clubs, so i took the opportunity to start one...to spread some peace." Tracy told and Quincy and Eden frowned their faces.

" You still in that spiritual phase?" Quincy joked and Eden laughed like always.

" It's not a phase Dirt neck."

" Whoa??" Eden exclaimed through laughter and Quincy narrowed his eyes thinking of a comeback.

" Thank you for the offer i'll try to stop by." Dom smiled tiredly and Tracy nodded.

" Great, Cherry pops in every now and then. So you can come with her..it's Tuesdays in the gym. Starts at three."

" She never told me about your yoga class." Dom told as he frowned his eyebrows.

"She usually just comes to sleep on the mat, She said it's her only time of peace." Tracy says and Dom nodded slightly now concerned.

Dominic Zoned out of the conversation when they started talking about a party they planned on going to tomorrow night. The parties at Willcon were hectic, so many drugs and drinks. Dom enjoyed some of them but the way exams are going he wanted to hold off on partying until the summer.

His phone buzzed two times indicating that he had a text. He reached to his night stand seeing the small notification and smiled to himself.

moon.

meet me at Joe's in 15?

you're paying btw

As Dominic was about to send his response he made his way out the main door.

beautiful.

Lovely even. Dominic thought this even in her madness. She sat in front of him, not a hair on her head was ever out of place , her lips glistened with the remaining gloss she applied all the time. It faded due to the fries she ate; Cherry tried not to complain to regular people but she didn't think of Dominic as normal, Maybe a superhero. He's somehow always there when there's danger in her life.

She gave him a puzzled look. She put her french fry down. "I wanna know what you're thinking about when you look at me like that. "

Dominic blinked back. He cleared his throat. "my mind wonders, i'm listening to you. "

"What are you thinking about right now ?" Cherry asked, watching him with narrowed eyes.

"You clean your room? " Dominic retorted, his slender fingers picked up his fork. Completely ignoring her question. He could tell her ADD got the best of her when her presence perked up.

" Actually yes! i'm proud of myself." she smiled at him, Dominic gave a proud smile back.

" I'm proud of you Cherry."

" Thank you..you know Sam said the same thing? I like those words."

A name was finally put on the 'mysterious' guy. She didn't tell him anything about the new person she was talking to. Only gawked about the things he's been buying her.

Dominic didn't need to ask because he knows the name always comes out accidentally.

" i shouldn't have said his name, you're giving me that look."

" What look Cherry? i'm listening to you." He shrugged slightly, he watched as her posture change. It wasn't so perked anymore, more hunched as if she began to feel embarrassment.

" They said he's into some bad shit." She mumbled and Dominic kept his same expression.

" you believe them?" He knew, Dominic knew the guy and saw him before around Eden's girl. He was the guy you go to if you needed something illegal. He planned great parties, Dom gave him that but the things he's heard about Sam were insane. Knowing Cherry the insane news was probably a natural aphrodisiac.

"well shit 'Dom." She pushed her plate away and crossed her arms over her chest. "You're the only one who hasn't given me problems about him yet. Are you about to give me problems?"

"Of course not." He sighed. "..same guy different body though."

She rolled her eyes. " He's not the same-"

"i'll be happy to compare."

"All of the stuff i've been through i'm mature enough to know better." she said. " I know when a guy is not genuine, he may be bad but he's good to me. Him being like the rest.. That's not what this is about. Be honest with me here."

She was right. Dominic looked away, afraid she'd read his mind if they locked eyes for too long. He stared outside the diner window, rain settled on the campus. people walked in pairs or groups, huddled in with umbrellas. 

Cherry leaned across the table and took his hands. Her warm fingers and soft palms grounded him. He pulled his gaze from the scene outside. Here she goes, roping him

in more making him feel more emotions than once. some more keen than others.

"What is this about?" she asked him. "What's the problem?"

The words wouldn't come. They sat in his brain, locked behind some wall, and though he pushed, they wouldn't move. then it slipped.

" You're dating watered down versions of him." He said, He gasped in his brain. Dominic watched her eyes frantically glance between his. Him being the man that took away her innocence. Sometimes his words were not always beautiful, sometimes they hurt. Cherry frowned, letting go of him .

"I'm tough." she said faintly.

He nods. "I know you are."

"I can take care of myself." She sat back roughly.

"You have," he says. "You still do. You always will. I've just joined in, too. Now we take care of each other."

" What about you?" Her question made Dominic's eyebrows perk.

" What about me?" He asked and Cherry didn't respond instantly, Her eyes traveled over his face. She remembers the first time she saw him, Learning that he was forbidden because of his father drew her into him even more. To many he looked like a corrupt angel - almost preternaturally handsome but with a soft quality that hinted at unspoken depravity. He was an unforgettable, if unnerving, face that lent itself to being cast as masochism even dreamlike.

Cherry didn't want to ruin him like she's done with other boys in the past similar to Dominic. So she kept her thoughts as gracious as possible. Even though he was the boyfriend of her wet dreams some nights.

" Why aren't you never complaining about women?"

" Women are great i don't need to complain-"

" You know what i mean Dominic, i know you have a girl you have your eyes on." Cherry narrowed her eyes in skepticism.

There's so many things Dom could say at this moment but an annoying trait he has is keeping his emotions in. " I'm too busy for a girl " he said while breaking eye contact.

" busy with what?" she asked not believing him.

Dom chuckled. " if you actually came to class you'd know we have an exam coming up in seminar." He said and her eyes widened frantically taking out her phone.

" You're lying to me? That bitch didn't tell me anything about an exam!" Cherry huffed as she went to the contact of the guy she's been getting to do her work. Dominic shook his head looking at her.

" No wonder you haven't came to me for help anymore." He uttered and Cherry shot him a quick glance.

" Because you actually make me do work, He just does it and i just turn it in." With that cherry tapped away on her phone not seeing the the slight shift in Dom's mood.

" You'll never learn that way, You have to know the basics to pass the exam. You need to a least study. " He voiced making sure he didn't sound like his father with his tone.

It made Cherry look up " Me and Sam study. We studied tonight. " She smirked putting her phone down.

" I'm serious Cherry."

" I am too." it went silent the two looked at each other. Dominic adored Cherry but times like this he wished he could say what's really on his mind. He wanted to suggest she stopped hanging with Sam if he's not helping her reach her full potential. That would just end up with them going back and forth.

" Don't cry to the when you have to take Saturday school." And with that he pulled out his wallet ready to put money down and leave. He knew what he said struck something in Cherry when she grabbed her tote bag aggressively. She roped the strap over one shoulder before standing up.

"Fuck you. " she snapped a little.

Dominic wanted to grabbed her hand and hold her back like in one of those cliché movies he adored so much but when the noise from the bell of the dinner sounded he knew he was too late. He pushed his plate away and dropped his elbows on the table before cussing under his breath.
