Omg I just got a wholesome idea! Reader is from another timeline, and in her timeline, she's lui Kang's daughter. She somehow finds herself in the timeline where lui kang is a god and the keeper of time. Some time passed, and while reader and lui kang were talking about how to return her to her own timeline, she accidentally called him 'dad' in front of the others. Can you write this as a scenario or a one-shot?
Feel free to ignore if it sounds lame to you 😅
Pops - Liu Kang & fem!reader
in which you call Liu Kang "dad" in front of his allies and friends
a/n: liu kang would absolutely be a girl dad, a bit of an airhead too
ship[s]: NONE, reader is probably around 16
warning(s): post-kanon, except the Lin Kuei are still together, mk9-10-11 references (i'm cherry picking)
[i can take all three of them, and not in a fight either]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're cornered against the stone wall as you hold your hands up in surrender. You're disheveled, scared, and a little bit pissed at the fact you had a multitude of weapons pointed at you.
"Take her arms!" Bi Han yells for his brothers to apprehend you. They take your wrists roughly, bending them behind your back as you're kicked to your knees.
"Lord Liu Kang will know what to do with you, woman," he spits out.
"Oh no, put me out of my misery~~" you reply sassily. Bi Han presses the flat edge on your neck, but not without the high-pitched noise of a war cry and fire.
Fire dragons in red and blue appear from above, and they crash into the ground, not burning anything surprisingly. While the others are shocked, you smile happily.
"Enough! What is the meaning of this?!" Liu Kang cries out.
You get up, but the weapons still remain pointed at you as you try to close in on Liu Kang. He notices you, waving his champions to put their weapons down. You press your clothes down and introduce yourself.
You also explain that you're here from another timeline, and that you were just plucked out from your day.
"Another timeline incident..." Liu Kang mutters to himself. You nod, but you put your hand over your heart.
"I'm not a threat though, I promise! I barely got a hold of my fire powers..." you say sadly, forming a pitiful fire orb in your hands before it sputters and dissipates.
Johnny nudges Kenshi's shoulder, "Don'tcha think she looks a lot like..." Kenhsi looks at him with an incredulous look. Even with his eyes gouged out, he still remains as expressive as a man could be.
Liu Kang contemplates for a split second, before his signature smile is back on as he moves to the side to show you around.
"I will evaluate your claims later, but I sense no ill intent as of now. I will have my champions escort you around as I see your origins," Liu Kang smiles.
You nod, bowing before being led out by Johnny and Kenshi in the front, and Kung Lao and Raiden in the back. You skip happily, head on a swivel as you take in your surroundings.
Everything is similar for the most part, except the wood is reinforced and constantly renovated. The stone paths were more lined up, and there were definitely more trees too. Maple trees were a staple around the temple, but he planted cherry blossoms for you and your mother.
"Do you still act, Mr. Johnny?" you ask him, and Johnny turns around with an offended look. Kung Lao and Raiden are laughing like hyenas in the back as you try to understand why.
"I am not that old!" he cries. "But I do act still. I direct too! What do I do in your world?" he asks. "I bet I'm still just as awesome there as I am here~"
You inform them of their alternates in your timeline. How Johnny works for the government, how Kenshi is a deadbeat dad to Takeda (he was skeeved out knowing his cousin was his son), and how Raiden used to be god.
"What about me? Am I still awesome?" You giggle at Kung Lao.
"Yes you are, Lao. Though, you remain a bachelor compared to the rest of dad's friends..." you mutter the last couple of sentences.
"What did you say?" Raiden asks.
You arrive to your dorm room and turn around to give them a bright smile before retiring for the day.
"Thank you guys so much! You misters are so funny," you smile softly as you twiddle your fingers.
"Sometimes dad talks about the good ol' days, and I'd like to think you guys were what dad had..." You shrug and enter your room, closing the door before anyone else could say something.
"Is she one of... our kids?" Kung Lao asks before Raiden sigh.
"She kind of looks like Kuai Liang, or Bi Han..." his fingers tap his chin. "She has the nose and brows..."
Kenshi pinches his nose-bridge, "Did she not insinuate that Lord Liu Kang is her father?"
As the three men bicker, Johnny shakes his head in disappointment.
"You guys have not seen enough BBC documentaries and reality t.v. about deadbeat dads."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a couple of weeks since you became stranded in this timeline, but you were enjoying it.
You've been getting spoiled by all of your dad's(?) champions: Kung Lao taking you to eat at Madam Bo's, Raiden letting you meet and train with his sister (so you had a friend), Johnny gifting you expensive movie memorabilia, and Kenshi always accompanying you (he became an uncle-figure).
However, your joyful days with them came to an end when they were sent on missions across and around the realms. You couldn't spend a minute with them due to the lengths of their missions, and when they came back, they were exhausted (reasonably so).
Who you ran into next was Geras, surprisingly. He never comes out from the hourglass, but the fact he was here meant a new friend to talk to.
In all honesty, Geras was here to meet with Liu Kang, but a monk had told him he was gone for some extracurricular purposes. So, he wanders aimlessly around the academy.
"Hi Mr. Geras!" you greet cheerily, accompanied with a wave. Geras nods, a small smile on his face as his glowing eyes crease slightly.
"Good morning to you, young lady," he greets kindly. "Do you have an agenda today?" You shake your head.
"No. All the uncles are out, and I have not yet seen dad since my arrival," you hang your head a little low in disappointment.
Geras's brow quirks in a bit of shock, but it's not surprising. He could see the resemblance from the moment you manifested in the temple. You had his strong brows, nose, and his fire powers.
It also didn't surprise him that the champions were trying to figure out if you were his creator's daughter or not.
"Do you wish to call him 'father'?" Geras asks as you both walk. The breeze was light, and the temperature was perfect.
You tilt your head, thinking a bit, "I mean... I'm not sure? I'm afraid that something will happen in this timeline if I say something..."
Geras chuckles, "You had spoken to the champions already, but I sense no apparent changes."
Your eyes light up, and you jump a bit in joy as you begin to talk your ear off to Geras about life in your timeline. Normally, he'd do his best to leave the conversation, but this was a different circumstance.
Geras enjoys hearing your casual adventures with Cassie, Jacqui, and Kung Jin when you guys hang out. He enjoys your little rants about your training, and how hard your father pushes you to master his pyromancy.
And he especially enjoys hearing that, in another world, Liu Kang has the happiness he yearned for.
"Although, you're not around much back at home..." you say. "You're... not as good as you are here..."
Geras has seen multiple timelines, but never has he ever thought of one where his life turned out like that.
"It's nice though! Maybe one day, I'll meet you," you reply optimistically.
Geras nods, not replying at the thought that he doesn't serve Liu Kang.
You continue talking to Geras until he goes back to the temple to meet with Liu Kang.
"Would you like to meet him now?" he offers, but you decline.
"Maybe another time, he seems busy in this world," you reply, and Geras bows before walking away an into the room where Liu Kang awaits him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's officially been two months since your unprecedented stop in this timeline where Liu Kang isn't your father.
You spend equal time with both Geras and the champions, but even they get busy.
Your champion uncles spoil you with gifts still, but it's a bit harder to see them due to the sheer amount of missions they were sent on.
Geras, too, became busier. The last visit he had in Earthrealm, he had said he and Liu Kang found a way to send you home, but they needed to be sure.
In response, you had been trying to spend more time with your newfound family here.
But who said family's can't expand? Expand and include the grandmaster and second-in-command's of the Lin Kuei.
Bi Han, Tomas, and Kuai Liang sat outside the planning room, similar to way back when during the timeline convergence. However, Liu Kang was taking a little longer than usual.
You didn't mean to be in the waiting room, but you had mindlessly wandered in there after training. Maybe it was out of habit to see Geras or your uncles.
Maybe it was in the hope you'd see your dad.
Instead, you're greeted with the men that cornered you that day. Though, with all due respect, it was in fairness of fear for another timeline insurgence.
Bi Han leans on the pillar that stands behind the chair. Kuai Liang and Tomas are seated on the seat itself, though Kuai Liang sits abnormally and on the arm rest.
You try to step away, but the creaky old wood alerted them of your presence. It was inevitable they'd see you now.
"Reveal yourself to us," Bi Han commands, his voice rough as he and his brothers are in ready form.
You carefully make yourself visible, chuckling nervously as you wave rather shakily.
"Remember me?" you ask, and the three of them soften and relax.
"It is just you," Tomas breathes in relief. "And of course, who could forget the girl we so harshly treated?"
The three men get up to bow, deep ninety degree angles as you frantically force them to stand upright again.
"P-please! Please get up, all is well! You're just doing your job..." you try and convince them.
Finally, they get up and go back to their comfortable positions. It's definitely... awkward. After all, they were the ones to hold you down like that.
But, compared to your world, it was nice seeing them all together again. You smile to yourself as you watch Tomas and Kuai Liang talk about trivial clan matters, and Bi Han just hums quietly agrees.
Kuai Liang notices your smile first," Why do you smile, young one?"
You catch yourself and put on a neutral face, but Kuai Liang's little frown breaks you, and you concede to tell him.
"It's just nice to see you three together again," you admit. "Back at home, the clans are all messed up..."
"How do you mean?" Bi Han eggs you on.
You begin to explain how Bi Han and Tomas became hideous creatures of dark sorcery. How Tomas became a horrid demon who plagues on the dreams of others.
You tell them about how Bi Han becomes a corpse-slave for evil as a reaper of sorts- killing anyone his master desired.
And you tell Kuai Liang about how he misses his brothers every day. How your version of him often visited your home to just talk. And how your version of him dealt with death.
"I don't remember when I saw you all happy, but I know back in the day you three were on top of the world!" you say excitedly as you recall all the stories and marvels the Lin Kuei of your timeline.
Somehow, time had passed to the point you had grown tired. You sat in between Tomas and Kuai Liang, but Bi Han had moved closer and sat on the edge of the back rest.
Your eyes grew weary, and you blink the little tired tears away as you stretch.
"The little bird needs her nest," Bi Han says softly, patting your head as you lean into Tomas's shoulder.
"I only have pictures of you three as a baby," you shared as you began to rest on Tomas's shoulder. "Dad says that was the last time you guys were nice to each other..."
Tomas raises a brow, "Dad? You don't mean-"
You yawn one final time, before adding on.
"Please be nice to each other... if I cannot have my uncles there, at least another version of me can..."
You fall right asleep, softly breathing as Tomas holds your head and Kuai Liang adjusts your legs to go over his lap. Bi Han takes his outermost layer and uses it as a blanket.
"She does look similar to Lord Liu Kang," Kuai Liang agrees quietly. "It is her nose."
You nuzzle deeper into Tomas's neck, feeling the light rhythm of his heart beat and using it to sleep.
The men continue talking about you, but it falls on deaf ears as you dream of your home again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I have found a way to return you home," Liu Kang announces unceremoniously.
You ate breakfast with Tomas and Bi Han on your left and right sides, while Kuai Liang sat across from you. However, the warm food felt cold and damp in your throat at the news.
You still had not told him who you were, and now you were going to leave after three months. As much as you were ready for this moment, the fact it's now hurts.
"When you finish your meal, please pack all of your things. I will meet you at the portal entrance," Liu Kang bows, then takes his swift leave.
Tomas looks to you, pouting, "Must you leave so soon?" You can't help but hug him.
"It's okay uncle, I have the gifts you gave me!" you reassure him, and Kuai Liang pats your head.
Just as the champions have spoiled you, so have the leaders of the Lin Kuei. They gave you food, little toys they picked up from the village, and some clothes made from the most expensive fabrics. It's been hard to try and fitting everything in your bag, but you didn't want to go home leaving your stuff.
"Do you wish us to accompany you?" Bi Han asks softly, and you nod happily as you stuff some food in your mouth.
Finishing up, you pile your plates up and head to your room. On your way, you run into the champions.
"Hey hey, youngin'!" Johnny greets you. "Why the entourage?"
You wave, "Liu Kang found a way home for me! The uncles will help me get my things."
Kung Lao crosses his arms, "And they are also... uncles?" Kenshi stares at them hard (well, "stare" is being used loosely).
You smile and pat Kung Lao's arm, "It's okay guys. I forgave them!"
Raiden shakes his head, "We must be timely everyone, she's heading home today."
You smile, but this time it doesn't really reach your eyes this time. Still, you make the most of it by indulging in Kung Lao and Johnny's antics, Bi Han and Kenshi's bickering, and every interaction between your little timeline family.
"Do you have everything?" Kuai Liang checks up on you, patting your little bag on the sides to fit everything. You nod, and he ruffles your head again.
"Make sure to take care of those figures," Johnny shimmies through the crowd. "That's one of one- only available through Cage-Con."
You shake your head, rolling your eyes playfully. Still, they help you out with any lingering bags as they escort you to the portal area. As you walk, though, the high energy levels you were bringing began to droop low.
Stepping foot on the wood, your sadness is evident as Liu Kang stands in front of you.
"Why so sad, little one?" he asks, and you wipe your eyes messily.
"I'm gonna miss everyone... It was so fun here..." you sigh, and Liu Kang's hand rests on your shoulder.
"Memories come in many forms," he gestures to your full bag of gifts and memorabilia. "And I do not doubt that you will have any things to look back upon."
You nod, "Still, I am ready to go home." Liu Kang begins to open the portal, and he can sense your nervousness.
"It's going to be so weird coming home, knowing there's a world where everyone is happy..." You look at Liu Kang one final time, before dropping all of your things and giving him a hug.
"Promise me you'll be happy dad, please promise me you'll be happy," you plea with him, tears falling on his linen shirt.
As your uncles are at a still with your revelation, Liu Kang just holds you, rubbing your back up and down as he tries to soothe your cries. You hold onto his shoulders, and Liu Kang sinks to his knees with you as you cry.
"As long as you can be happy in your world, I will be just fine," Liu Kang whispers softly.
Liu Kang gently brings you back to your feet, adjusting the bags you'll be carrying home with you. You stop in front of each of your uncles, hugging them and giving them the last of your affections before walking through the portal.
"I love you all very much!" and once you're in, the portal closes.
While Liu Kang lets the clamor of his close friends and allies fall in the background, something about how they didn't realize you were his kid at all, Liu Kang smiles as the sun sets, the though that his simple moments with the woman he loves is indeed possible
