“Admit it.” X-Ray said, a shit-eating grin on his face. “Admit that I’m strong.”

“X-Ray, put me down.” Hilda said, a small laugh escaping her. She turned her head to look at him and realized just how close they were.

this was for xnvweek but I didn’t finish it in time so here it is now

I’ve finally got around to drawing these 2 dorks together again

Mogar’s relationship with the girls after they team up in a nutshell

[ganglylimbs]

Blue and Green Make Purple

Summary: X-Ray goes the worst thing he can think of. Falling in love.

Pairing: X-Ray/Vav/Hilda

Notes:  This is basically a re-telling of season 1 of X-Ray and Vav with a Vav/X-Ray/Hilda tint. I wanted to write something through X-Ray's eyes and some headcannons I have for him. I don't know how i feel about this because it started out strong for me but seemed to turn into a mess at the end. Hopefully, you enjoy it.

X-Ray has done many stupid things in his life. Jumped off one too many high places, smarted off to one too many people. Kick ass first, ask questions later was his motto after all. Becoming a “superhero” was high up on the stupid list. Actually becoming a superhero was above that.

But the worst, the goddamn fucking worst, the stupidest thing he’s ever done in his fucking life was fucking fall in love.

~

He knows he’s fucked the second they meet Hilda.

Vav and him are angry and sweaty, tired from a long night of doing anything to get attention and being ignored. This whole play pretend thing had gotten old. Dull. They weren’t getting the rewards he was promised and to be honest? He was ready to give up.

Then Hilda comes along (fucking Hilda with her fucking inventions and fucking smarts) and suddenly. Suddenly, life gets exciting again. He has superpowers! (Even if they were only connected to the glasses and the gloves, they were still superpowers ok? It counted.) They can do stuff now, actually save the day. Sure, there are a few bumps along the road (like maybe destroying the city) but what was that compared to them stopping the bad guys?

Nothing. Ok, a few people losing their homes is nothing to them getting an article in the newspaper.

(Nothing compares to being able to see Vav happy for once. Vav’s happy and doing what he loves and X-Ray would be damned if some lousy citizens took that away from him)

Besides, Vav and Hilda made him help rebuild. Everything turned out alright. It was a win-win for everyone.

It’s when ORF gets taken that X-Ray suspects his life was about to get shittier. Because there’s a feeling, deep in his chest and stirring in his stomach, a stupid no-good feeling of something like guilt as he watches Hilda bemoan her loss and Vav try to comfort her. It only intensifies when she tells her sad story (how ORF was Hilda’s only friend and how she had to build something to starve off the loneliness and it hits so close to home that X-Ray has to cut her off).  

The stupid, stupid thing is that he can feel himself fucking caring and that is a no-no. He promised himself, long ago between the time his dog died and the time his father left, that he would only care about two people, his mom and Vav, and that was it. So feeling sorry for Hilda is bad and X-Ray figures that as soon as they rescue ORF, he’ll can bury those feelings in video games and soda.

And then they get ORF back. And then they discover the Mad King, discover that something devious is going on. And then there’s the excitement and planning and slight fear because if they fuck this up, there could be actual consequences this time, not just disappointing a little girl for failing to get her kitty out of a tree.

Luckily, X-Ray has Vav working on it and if anything, he trusts Vav to do everything in his power to figure out what was going on. And if Vav can’t figure it out, he’s positive Hilda can.

Well, he was sure Hilda could until the mayor calls and they meet the asshole who calls himself the Corpirate. And what does the asshole do? Fucking tries to brainwash them! Luckily, they were too awesome to fall for it (screw what Rusty had to say). Hilda, because she wasn’t as awesome and honestly a bit of a dumbass, fell right for the asshole’s trap. From there, everything sort of blurs into his heart pumping and tangled limbs and a bright flash of light. When X-Ray wakes up, it still seems like a dream to him, a faraway nightmare. Looking up to see Rusty’s disappointed face and the sad, defeated look in Vav’s eyes, it hits him.

Fear. Cold, hard fear that drops into his stomach like a stone. And honestly he doesn’t know what scares him more, that the city is now full of what are essentially zombies or that the fear wasn’t for him but for Vav and Hilda.

They could have died today. It’s at the tip of X-Ray’s tongue to suggest they go somewhere else, to grab Vav and run and put this whole hero business behind him. But the thought of what about Hilda runs across his mind and X-Ray knows. There was no running from this.

It’s a grueling few weeks up to the rescue. X-Ray hardly sleeps and Vav barely eats, the constant worry of discovery and the knowledge that they were the last hope takes its toll on them. Their small hidey hole ends up covered in discarded plans, ripped to shreds by a frustrated Vav. X-Ray can’t seem to stop training, putting some goddamn effort into actually leaning something.

On days when he’s in a good mood, X-Ray entertains the thought of what his mother would say if she could see him now.

On bad days, X-Ray cries over a picture of the two of them celebrating her birthday.

The only good thing X-Ray could think to come out of being coped up like this was that it seemed to bring Vav and him closer. The two of them had never been afraid to touch each other but now it held more weight. They were each other’s only comfort now, a human touch able to bring them out of any negative thoughts they had dug themselves into. (X-Ray often finds himself pressed up against Vav’s back, eyes closed with the feeling of wanting something more.)

The last few days before they could put their plan into action were the most stressful, especially when Rusty left to meet a ‘contact’ that could hopefully provide them with some transportation. Their hideout seemed to get more silent now that it was just the two of them, a new sort of tension hanging in the air.

It drives X-Ray nuts because he can’t stop thinking about it. The green clad superhero finds himself looking at Vav longer as the clock ticks down. He wakes up at night, broken dreams of a bloody or worse Vav floating through his mind. He can’t help himself sneaking into Vav’s cot after those sort of dreams, seeking the other’s warmth. He doesn’t know what’s wrong with him, why this sudden want to check up on Vav more often, this need to see the other smile again like in the old days. There’s a burning desire to see the Brit happy and it confuses the fuck out of X-Ray.

Of course, as his luck has it, he figures it out mere hours before they put their plan into action. He’s in love with the fucker. X-Ray visibly flinches when it hits him. The notion was so foreign to him. Sure, they’ve always been close, stuck to each other, and his mother has basically adopted Vav. But to be in love?

He’d have to be crazy.

But there’s no other explanation for why his heart is beating fast as he sees Vav suit up. No explanation for how his stomach clenches at the serious look he sees on the other’s face, for why he wants to walk up and gently wipe it away. No way to explain why he’s thinking of running away again, not because he’s afraid but because he wants to save Vav from what could possibly happen.

Hands shaking, he puts on his own suit and follows Vav out into battle.

Sneaking into the building is easier than X-Ray had thought it would be. Breaking Hilda free of the mind control, even easier. But soon the alarms sound and they’re in the thick of it. Guards come running, guns raised but they were prepared for that. With an order from Vav, they indispose of the immediate threat, even making it till the helicopter Rusty’s buddy was able to get them. Things go to shit then, naturally, but they don’t freak out. They were no longer helpless, instead able to hold their own against the Corpirate’s men.

Until they can’t. And then X-Ray finds himself tied up, staring down into the face of death. Catching Vav’s eye, X-Ray feels it again. Love. That horrible feeling of heart clenching, stomach turning utter adoration he has for this man.

His biggest regret was not grabbing Vav, back at the base, and kissing him.

Then Vav nods and X-Ray sees Hilda out of the corner of his eye, struggling. It breaks the spell and fills him with determination. The Corpirate may have taken his entire life away, but he wasn’t taking this. Leaping into the air, they use the hidden knives they had kept, breaking free of their ropes. Then, in true X-Ray and Vav fashion, they crotch crush the asshole.

Even so, the battle was still hard fought, it taking the two of them combining their weapons to finally defeat the son of a bitch. X-Ray had never felt more proud than when he got to watch the Corpirate slowly fall to his doom (even if Vav had ended such an awesome fight with a lame ass quip). Having Hilda come up and freak out over how totally amazing they were (duh, it’s like she hasn’t been paying attention) lifted the feeling of burden off his chest. Hilda was safe, undamaged, and already back to her normal self.

(He ignores the way his stomach flutters at the excited look in her eye. He already has to deal with one set of feelings, he doesn’t need another.)

X-Ray finally gets that parade he was always promised. He gets to meet the mayor (officially, this time, and without the stupid mind control), gets to see his name blown up in the news. People are stopping him in the street and thanking him and he even gets to sign a few autographs.

Really, though, none of that matters much to him right now. Being able to stay by Vav’s side, kicking butt and taking names and falling deeper into the pit of love, make the top of the list of what’s important to him. Bugging Hilda while she tries to work also works its way up.

And if he notices that Vav has started giving him shy looks or that this emotion, whatever it is, he has for Hilda is growing? He doesn’t mention it, instead keeping that locked tight inside. He figures he has all the time in the world to figure it out now.

Nothing was going to take him away from this.

X-Ray - X-Ray and Vav

Anon, The Match Maker

One True Pairing! - ❤❤❤❤❤

“He drives me insane! He’s immature and an idiot, he’s basically the complete opposite of me. But he’s one of the few people who can fight back with me and he’s actually a nice guy. I could see the appeal.”

First, my true love is bickering. Anybody who bickers is my favorite thing in the world. But one of the greatest things is on the outside they seem like complete opposites and that they hate each other but that’s so not it. They are both immature and Hilda will go down to X-Ray’s level and grumble like a child, their both arrogant and actually have a lot of similarities about personality. It only clashes where it usually becomes two peas in a pod.

Paranormal Activity

Summary:

Ash stealed her nerves. You can do this, Ash, it’s a once in a lifetime interview, she told herself, repeating it inside her mind almost like a mantra. It’s nothing you can’t handle. You’ve been in this city long enough.

Notes:

So I read the best supernatural RvB fic this morning and it's been in my head literally all day and I wanted to try something out so 'lo and behold! A supernatural X-Ray and Vav fic!

also sorry it's a bit crap, I wrote it in maybe thirty minutes? If that?

read on Ao3 (preferred)

Ash stealed her nerves.

You can do this, Ash, it’s a once in a lifetime interview, she told herself, repeating it inside her mind almost like a mantra. It’s nothing you can’t handle. You’ve been in this city long enough.

She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Her pen and pad were already in her hand and it wasn’t long before the door opened.

“Hi, Hilda” Ash said. It did help with her nerves that one of the people she was interviewing happened to be her girlfriend.

“Hey Ash.” Hilda said. “Oh right, you’re interviewing us today.” She looked behind her into the room and Ash thought her eyes were especially bright.

“They told me to meet them here.” Ash said, suddenly unsure of herself.

“No, that’s right. Come in.” Hilda stepped to the side. Ash saw the vigilantes in question and relaxed. She really didn’t know why she was so nervous; maybe it had something to do with the fact she was interviewing them as a reporter instead of being their friend/girlfriend.

“Hello Ash.” Vav said, his greeting bright. “There’s no need to be worried.” He reassured her and Ash had to hide her surprise. She always forgot what Vav was.

Ash took a seat on one of the stools opposite the duo and she spied Mogar behind them. Hilda walked over and took the last seat, sitting casually and setting the tone for the rest of the room.

X-Ray liked hanging out in Hilda’s workshop because the walls were so thick that it blocked all sunlight. One time Vav had admitted to Ash that he liked hanging out in Hilda’s workshop because everything was quiet in there. (What he meant by that, Ash wasn’t overly sure of - but it probably had something to do with the thick walls and lack of other humans.)

“Shall we begin?” Ash said, flipping open the notepad to the first clean page. “Can you guys tell me what’s like being a Paranormal in today’s world?”

“Do you want to go first Hilda?” Vav asked, leaning slightly to look at her.

“Well, the city’s changed a lot since the first time I got here.” Hilda admitted. Her eyes shone yellow for a second. “Attitudes haven’t.”

“Uh huh,” Ash quickly made a note and looked up. “What about you X-Ray?”

“I’m still pretty green at the whole blood-sucking thing, but at least the blood bank donates to local vampires.” X-Ray said casually with a shrug. He said it like they were discussing something normal, not like they were talking about ways to prevent X-Ray attacking citizens (not that Ash ever thought he would be able).

“Interesting.” Ash mused, taking notes as X-Ray talked. She saw Hilda take X-Ray’s hand out of the corner of her eye and felt her chest warm. “Vav?”

“Well, there’s just a lot of people, you know? A lot of emotions. Sometimes it’s just a lot to process.” Vav said truthfully. Ash could only wonder what it was like to constantly have other people’s emotions infecting your life and thoughts.

“Mogar does not understand the point of this exercise.” Mogar spoke up, drawing Ash’s attention. He had his arms folded across his chest and his sword was strapped to his back as usual.

“I want to do a story on what it’s like for modern Paranormals.” Ash said, the nib of her pen resting against the paper. “Maybe if the city’s heroes speak up about it, less people will be scared.”

“People don’t change.” Mogar stated.

“Well, maybe attitudes will change then.” Ash said. “The city looks up to it’s heroes, and if they can understand what it’s like for them to what they are, then maybe they’ll let go of their prejudices.”

“Mogar does not think that will happen after they saw Mogar Change.” The shapeshifter said. Ash remembered the countless tweets and updates and pictures of Mogar mid-transformation and she remembered how Mogar wouldn’t leave his treehouse after one drunk arsehole threw a rock at him and shouted less than savoury things.

“But you saved that mother and her baby.” Ash pointed out. “And when people see that, they’ll understand that you’re still you when you Change.”

“And Mogar, you don’t have to be in the article if you don’t want to.” Vav pointed out.

“That’s fine Mogar, I won’t put you in the article.” Ash said, though she would have loved to put Mogar’s viewpoint in. She had enough respect for the man to respect his privacy.

“Do you have any more questions, Ash?”  X-Ray asked.

“If it’s okay, I do have some questions about your abilities in general,” Ash said, flicking to the next page of her notepad.

“Fire away.” Hilda said, her eyes glowing a soft pink for a couple seconds. Ash took a small breath and pushed her shoulders back just the slightest bit. Now she was back in her element. Squishy human or not, Ash was good at what she did.

Just Tonight

Hilda looked down at her hand. A litter of pills sat in her palm, her daily dose of medication. She brought them to her mouth, washing them down with a swig of water. How had she come to this point? So messed up in her head that she has to take a cocktail of meds. Hilda felt the buzz from the pills, making her numb. Good. She didn't want to feel that pain anyways. The pain from... Her phone buzzed. She glanced down, and saw X-Ray's familiar number pop up. Hilda counted it off as the third call today.

*Flashback to a month ago*

“Hilda, I'm sorry!" X-Ray shouted, running after Hilda, reaching his hand out to grab hers. She yanked her arm away, picking up her pace, nearly running away from the superhero.  "Leave me alone, X-Ray," she said, not even looking back at him. "I never want to hear from you again."  "You won't even give me a chance to explain?" X-Ray asked through tears. Hilda herself wasn't crying, oh no, she wouldn't let herself cry in front of him, in front of anyone.  "There's nothing to explain," Hilda said coldly. "You were with someone else. I saw you... You were kissing her. It looked as intentional as it can get. Now fuck off."

*End flashback*

Hilda sent the call to voicemail. Again. She didn't want to hear from X-Ray, didn't want to hear his excuses. She knew she couldn't hold out much longer, though. She needed him. No matter what, she still loved X-Ray. He broke her heart, but she still loved him. Hilda sighed, and flopped down on the side of the bathtub, resting her head in her hands. She didn't know what to do. A moment later, her phone alit and buzzed again, flashing X-Ray's number yet again. Hilda stared at the phone and watched it buzz around, then picked up and accepted the call.  "H-..Hilda?" X-Ray slurred through the phone. "What do you want?" Hilda demanded, keeping all emotion out of her face.  "I, uh, I miss you b-babe, and I.. God, I'm sho sorry fo' e.. Everything. I'm shorry I .. I couldn't be more.." X-Ray trailed off.  "Are.. Are you drunk?" the scientist asked, concern spiking through her body. "And... Why does that sound like a goodbye?"  "Becuz' it... It is." With those words, the phone line went dead. Hilda stared at the screen in disbelief.  "Fuck!" she screamed, jumping up and punching the wall. "That fucker...." She stared at the screen again for a moment longer, then grabbed her keys and headed out the door.

***

"X-Ray, open up!" Hilda pounded on her ex-boyfriend's apartment door. No answer. She pounded again. Hilda bit her lip and made up her mind. She rammed her shoulder into the door, jarring it loose. She continued throwing herself at the door until it broke free, slamming open. The overwhelming stench of booze greeted her. She ran into the darkened enclosure, searching for X-Ray.  "Where are you?!" Hilda called out. She checked each room, to no avail. She did, however, notice the abundance of bottles of alcohol littering each room. Finally, when she reached his bedroom, she saw the outline of the bathroom door lit, signaling the light was on in there. She darted across the room and threw open the door. There lay X=Ray, curled in a ball, a handful of pills resting in his hands, and a bottle of gin laying empty next to him.  "X-Ray no!" Hilda lept to him, knocking the pills and scattering them throughout the room. She wrapped her arms around him, bringing him close to her chest. "Why would you even think about killing yourself?"  "... B-because... I .... I hurt y-you..." X-Ray whimpered, clutching to Hilda as if she were his life-preserver.  Hilda shook her head. "You stupid, stupid ass..."  "H-Hilda... Please.... Stay... Stay for tonight...." X-Ray whispered through tears. Hilda felt tears of her own threatening to spill from her eyes. She let them fall. X-Ray pulled her down closer, and she buried her face in his hair.  "Just tonight."

Hildray

How did I know this would come up :P

Who worries about how they will look when they’re older

I like to think X-Ray, because I feel like he would go through a mid-life crisis at age 25

Who makes the mix tapes/cd’s

X-Ray is the biggest sap ever

Clings to the other during scary movies

X-Ray again. (He’s a bit disturbed by how into horror films Hilda gets)

Gets into the shower with the other randomly

Hilda. She likes catching X-Ray off-guard

Flashes the other when they walk by after taking a shower alone

X-Ray. He thinks it’s funny.

Initiates hand holding while the other is driving

Well, X-Ray can’t drive so... 

though, Hilda will do it on long drives.

Secretly tries to touch the other in naughty places during public/family events

Hilda likes teasing X-Ray in all senses of the word

Asks weird questions in the middle of the night

I bet Hilda does it to annoy X-Ray who has to put up with Vav’s inane questions

Asks “what are you thinking about?”

Hilda

Always has to be touching the other, (if either of them do)

X-Ray is a literal koala
