Back to the Future Part II & III is a 1990 video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System based on the second and third films in the Back to the Future trilogy. The game was produced by Beam Software and published by Acclaim Entertainment under their LJN label.

Part II

When Doc takes Marty to the year 2015 to prevent his future son from committing a crime, old Biff takes the Gray's Sports Almanac and travels back to 1955 and gives the book to his younger self. Over the next three decades, young Biff uses the information to win money on the outcome of each sporting event he bets on, making him the richest and most powerful man in the world by 1985. To ensure that no one else gets their hands on the almanac, Biff travels through time and collects various items and puts them behind locked doors in three different periods. This action has caused a disruption in time, and now the space-time continuum is falling apart. With Hill Valley in ruins, Marty must now travel to all three periods, then find and return all the items back to their original places in order to retrieve the almanac and destroy it.

Part III

After Marty returns all items to their rightful places and burns the almanac, Marty then receives a letter from Doc via a courier that was written in 1875 (although 1885 in the film). According to the old letter, Doc has become stranded in the past and must be rescued or else this will start to threaten the future. Now, Marty must go back in time in order to rescue Doc with the aged but repaired DeLorean. Before they can return to 1985, Marty must find and return ten more items to their rightful location.

Street level

The player controls Marty and attempts to defeat enemies by jumping on or throwing projectiles at them. The player must also collect fuel for the time machine and junk food for extra lives as they progress through each timeline.

Scattered and hidden throughout each timeline are Object Rooms (containing objects which must later be returned to other locations) and alleyways used to navigate street to street within the timeline. Some alleyways appear in all three timelines while others appear in one or two but not all three. At other points the player must use the DeLorean to navigate large chasms that appear on different timelines.

Object rooms

As the player progresses through the level they obtain keys by killing certain enemies. These keys are used to unlock the various object rooms throughout each level. Within each object room the player must obtain one of the items ostensibly scattered by Biff. The rooms appear as locked doors in Part II and caves or various buildings in Part III.

To retrieve the items Biff scattered, the player must participate in a mini-game within the object room involving collecting a certain number of stop watches in 60 seconds while avoiding enemies and obstacles such as cacti, quicksand and falling pellets.

Puzzle rooms

Puzzle rooms are hidden throughout each level and found in various drainage pipes and manholes. Each puzzle room contains the scrambled name of the object that belongs there. The player must unscramble the word and select the proper item from their inventory. Correctly choosing the item that belongs within the room reveals one section of a picture puzzle. However, if the player chooses the wrong item, the item is removed from their inventory and returned to the object room in which it was previously located, forcing the player to complete the challenge within that room to re-obtain the object.

In Part III, puzzle rooms are located under rocks that the player must break open by jumping on them a few times.

Time travel

After finding the remote control to summon the DeLorean, players can time travel between 1955, 1985 and 2015. However, adequate fuel must be collected before being able to time travel using the DeLorean.

Additionally, each time the player time travels a clone of Marty is created in that year which, when touched, will instantly kill the player.

Some platforms are out of reach in certain areas which need to be accessed to progress through the level. A player can plant an acorn in 1955 and then revisit that same location in 1985 or 2015 where a full-grown tree appears, allowing the player to access the previously unattainable space.

Tip: create mini optional schedules or options on parts of the boring things to fit into the big schedules so you can have spontaneous routines

(will be different depending on what you have to work around like a school/work day or appointments and stuff like that but there's still options, also I know I shared a lot of examples but I would have liked to have someone give me these kinds of examples bc I only just figured most of this out after 20ish years of feeling like shit from having either no routine or one so strict that I had no variation which both always ended in burnout)

My examples off the top of my head are

My morning routine

Toilette: I can pick between 2 rolls of toilette paper, they're just in different spots but the same kind of toilette paper and then I can pick between 2 kinds of hand soap

Feed the pets(no real variation there except for which kind of vegetables the rabbit gets with his pellets and kind of food the fish get, usually a veggie scrap and some frozen protein like brine shrimp or bloodworms but that depends on the kind of fish and if there's any baby fish/shrimp/snail potential in that tank and which flavor of gravy for the cat which leftover gets diluted to add for the dogs kibble)

Breakfast: lately it's usually a pair pop tarts with milk and then a fruit about 20 minutes later but I can pick the flavor of pop tart and kind of fruit though I do switch it up sometimes and have like spaghetti or whatever is left over from dinner bc im not ready for a new flavor yet but want something besides my basic breakfast ideas of the month, but I have certain dishes to go with certain foods, my cereal bowls are not for soup and vise verse same goes for my milk/ coffee/tea mugs, they're not for juice or smoothies you get the idea

Tooth brushing: I can pick between 3 different flavors and 2 different toothbrushes

Shower: get the water temp right then I climb in and do the shampoo and conditioner/hair mask then wash up why the conditioner/mask sets then rinse my hair clean my ear piercings wash my face and get out and apply moisturizer then deodorant then sunscreen but I have 3 different deodorant I pick from depending on smell and texture

Getting dressed: there is always color or texture coordination, my black running shorts can go with almost anything but my blue ones from the same set can only go with other blue stuff or other knit fabrics and my undergarments have to be the same type of color as each other or my other clothes that im wearing so my outer clothes may not match in color but if the top is blue and my bottoms are green then the under garments are blue and green because I know that they match but I can mix up how they match and it's actually minimal effort bc almost all of my stuff can go together since mostly t-shirt material/ hoodie material and some like polyester & spandex stuff and some wool, it's mostly earth toned shorts, neutral leggings, blue jeans, and baggy t shirts, tank tops, and then sweatshirts/hoodies that can do over anything conformal, all bras are either lounge bras or 2 wired ones that I only use for when I go to parties or dress up, all underwear are "tummy control" ones advertised as shapewear but get a size up and they keep me from getting painful gas and cramps that I get in literally everything else which my doctors haven't been able to figure out, all of my socks can be categorized into fuzzy, hand knit, machine color work, or the plain ankle length ones that I use in sneakers

Mid-day(in no particular order, it changes based on a multitude of factors): I usually do some creative activities like sketching/knitting/crochet/hand sewing/or jewelry making while watching or listening to tv/movies/music/podcasts (outside to watch the dogs run around/sunbathe and the wildlife if there's good weather and low traffic, inside if not)

Sort my craft supplies

organize my Pinterest boards with funny names

Sing and dance with my dogs and cat (one of the dogs will "sing" aka howl along but both dogs will hold their front feet up for me to walk them around and the cat just likes me carrying her around the house while I sway/rock and sing)

Lunch usually a sandwich or soup and a canned green tea or juice and chips or toast

Evening/afternoon:

I brush the dogs

Check the pool and mini pond and puddles in the driveway for tadpoles and mice and things that may need to be scooped out and/or relocated (I've saved several critters from drowning or getting run over bc I check every day)

Rinse off in the shower and wash off sunscreen

Get dressed in pjs and take laundry down to the washing mashine

Apply nose strip (the kind for breathing better) moisturize

Put hair in satin scarf (I have 5 different scarves, 1 long rectangle and 4 large squares all with different colors and designs)

Watch tv with my parents and brother and/or play checkers, connect 4, war, go fish, or watch them play uno (I just don't like uno) and knit or crochet

Have 10min-1hour with ear defenders to relax before bed and do a calm craft (things like machine sewing or jewelry making are too exciting for bedtime, bc they're more stimulating with noise/vibrations and shiny than knitting or embroidery or coloring)

TL;DR ADAPT SHIT FOR YOURSELF AND MAKE THE BORING THINGS A little LESS BORING SO YOULL KEEP UP WITH THOSE AS PART OF YOUR HABITS

Having autism is like

Having ADHD is like

Having both Autism and ADHD is like

Principles and Types of Bench Top Centrifuges

Benchtop centrifuges are used in laboratories to separate and filter molecular mixtures in liquid media based on their density gradient. Centrifugation is widely used in biochemistry laboratories for investigating and isolating cells, subcellular fractions, molecular complexes, and biological macromolecules such as proteins, DNA, and RNA. Centrifuges are high-speed machines that use vacuum, gravitational acceleration, and centrifugal force to separate molecules from liquid mixtures while avoiding scorching the samples. In 1924, Nobel Laureate Theodor Svedberg invented the first analytical centrifuge for sediment monitoring. Later, in the 1940s, Claude and his colleagues refined the centrifugation method, which became the foundation of biomedical and biological research over the next few decades. Small-capacity benchtop centrifuges��are becoming an essential tool for routine biomedical research.

The particles are evenly disseminated in a medium prior to centrifugation. The denser particles in the medium sink to the bottom during centrifugation, while the lighter particles rise. The top liquid fraction obtained following centrifugation is referred to as “supernatant.” The part that sinks to the bottom is referred to as “pellet.” The supernatant and the pellet have an interaction. The fraction of particles left in the pellet after centrifugation is referred to as particle recovery. This recovery is affected by particle density and size.

What exactly is a bench top centrifuge?

A benchtop centrifuge is a tiny, laboratory-grade centrifuge intended for use on a laboratory bench or countertop. Centrifugal force is commonly employed to separate substances in a liquid or solid mixture. This type of centrifuge is extensively used in medical, scientific, and industrial contexts to isolate cells or cell components, separate blood components, purify proteins and nucleic acids, and prepare samples for analysis.

Benchtop centrifuges are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, and can be powered by electricity or a hand crank. Depending on the model, they may also have different features and capabilities, such as the ability to adjust the rotor speed, the capacity to hold different types of tubes or other containers, and the ability to run for a specific amount of time or until a certain number of revolutions have been completed. Some tabletop centrifuges are intended to be used in conjunction with a cooling system, while others can be operated at room temperature.

Benchtop Centrifuge Types

Benchtop centrifuges are classified into numerous categories, including:

Microcentrifuges: These are small, lightweight centrifuges designed to handle small amounts of liquid, typically 0.2 to 2 mL. They are often employed for cell separation, DNA and RNA isolation, and sample preparation for analysis.

Mini centrifuges: Mini centrifuges take up even less area than ordinary tabletop centrifuges. They have an eight-tube maximum processing capacity and a maximum speed of 6000rpm. These centrifuges are great for laboratories with limited space, however they may not be appropriate for laboratories with high production.

Plate Centrifuges: Plate centrifuges are widely used in PCR laboratories. These centrifuges make certain that all reagents are placed to the bottom of the wells for accurate concentrations and results. A maximum horizontal spin speed of 400xg is possible with plate centrifuges. To avoid spillage, these benchtop centrifuges use a distinctive “wing-out rotor design.”

Refrigerated Centrifuges: Temperature-sensitive samples require cooled centrifuges since even minor temperature changes can destroy them. These seem nearly identical to their non-refrigerated cousins. They do, however, allow temperature adjustment between -10°C and 40°C.

Tabletop centrifuges: These are larger, heavier-duty centrifuges designed for use with larger amounts of liquid, typically 10 to 100 mL. They are frequently utilized in the separation of blood components, the purification of proteins, and the isolation of cell components.

High-speed centrifuges: These are powerful centrifuges with high-speed rotors that can achieve extremely high centrifugal forces. They are typically employed to separate particles that are denser or heavier than the surrounding liquid in a combination.

Refrigerated centrifuges: Refrigerated centrifuges are those that have a cooling system that keeps the samples at a consistent, low temperature during the centrifugation process. They are widely employed for separating biological samples that are temperature sensitive or for working with samples that require low-temperature storage.

Centrifuges with fixed-angle rotors: These have a fixed-angle rotor, which implies that the tubes or containers being spun are held at a fixed angle relative to the axis of rotation. They are frequently employed for particle separation based on size or density.

Swinging bucket rotor centrifuges: These centrifuges have a swinging bucket rotor, which allows the tubes or containers being spun to vary angle relative to the axis of rotation while the rotor rotates. They are frequently employed for particle separation based on size or density.

Different types of centrifuge rotors

In a centrifuge, numerous types of rotors can be employed, including:

Fixed-angle rotors: Set-angle rotors are intended to hold tubes or containers at a set angle relative to the axis of rotation. They are frequently employed for particle separation based on size or density.

Swinging bucket rotors: Swinging bucket rotors are designed to hold tubes or containers in a swinging bucket, allowing them to alter angle relative to the axis of rotation as the rotor spins. They are frequently employed for particle separation based on size or density.

Vertical rotors: Vertical rotors are intended to hold tubes or containers vertically, with the axis of rotation passing through the center of the tubes. They’re frequently employed to separate cells or cell components.

Horizontal rotors: Horizontal rotors are intended to hold tubes or containers horizontally, with the axis of rotation running perpendicular to the tubes. They are frequently used to separate blood components or to purify proteins.

Zonal rotors: These rotors are meant to support vertical tubes or containers, with the axis of rotation passing through the center of the tubes. They are separated into zones, each with its own centrifugal force. They’re frequently employed to separate cells or cell components based on size or density.

Benchtop Centrifuge Principle

The gravitational force ‘g’ (g = 9.81ms-2) exerted by the Earth’s gravitational field causes substances to separate based on their density. The sedimentation rate increases when these samples are accelerated in a centrifugal field (G > 9.81ms-2). The relative gravitational field is frequently represented as a multiple of gravitational acceleration. When employing benchtop centrifuges, underlying factors must be addressed.

The more dense biomolecules sediment faster in a centripetal field.

The larger the mass of a molecule, the faster it settles in the centripetal field.

The biological structure moves slowly via a more dense buffer system.

The particle’s velocity decreases as the coefficient of friction increases.

Particles settle faster under higher centrifugal forces.

When the density of a biomolecule matches that of the surrounding medium, its sedimentation rate becomes zero.

A biological medium’s frictional force in a viscous medium acts in the opposite direction of sedimentation. It is equal to the product of the particle’s velocity and frictional coefficient. As previously stated, the centrifugal field is related to the Earth’s gravitational field. At a given radius and speed, the relative centrifugal field (RCF) is the ratio of centrifugal force to standard gravitational acceleration.

Steel and gold -Vance Hopper & OC

Summary: Slices of life. Violet meets the so feared Pinball Vance in school.

Warnings: For obvious reasons all the characters are minors. Vance is about 15 (I know movie says it was 13 but -let's be honest, that's funny) so the rest of the characters are about 13-14. TW: mentions of bullying, common used slurs (it's 1979).

The first time she saw him come in, Violet felt a little shock. Everyone knew Pinball Vance, that's what they called him because he spent his free time playing pinball at the mini-supermarket, although that wasn't the only reason he was famous. Famous, not popular, like Rodney Alcala or Ted Bundy would be, because everyone knew not to fuck with Vance.

The math teacher arrived not long after, Vance had been leaning boredly by the classroom windows overlooking the gym field, casting baleful glances at whoever passed him, unsmiling.

"Today we have a new student...well, in our grade" she specified, gesturing to Vance "Mr. Hopper, please take a seat."

The teacher indicated which desk would be his, and without even looking at her Vance went to the indicated spot and sat down as if resigned, right next to Violet. Violet averted her eyes immediately, she felt as if she had just been placed next to a big, rabid wolf that could bite at any moment, and spent the entire class pretending that next to her was not the little terror of North Denver.

As everyone worked through a series of calculations, Violet felt the first blow. They were already taking their time, she thought nonchalantly, and used her pencil to remove from her shoulders a paper pellet that someone had shot at her with a makeshift blowgun. Not many minutes later, she felt the second hit, this time from a much larger paper ball, and the giggles of her tormentors came clear in the general silence of the class.

"Quiet back there" requested the teacher unaware of the reason for the commotion. Violet went back to her own thing, and then....

"Psst... pssst..."

She ignored the initial buzzing because she was already used to her cherished classmates playing a trick on her with them.

"Are you deaf or what?" growled a voice right next to her. She lifted her head, Vance Hopper was talking to her, and he was scowling.

"I'm sorry...what's wrong?" she muttered, amused. 

"Do you have an eraser?"

"Uh..." Violet reached into her small pencil case and found what the boy was asking for. She held it out to him and didn't get a sad thank you, but just as well. The last thing she needed was for Vance to join her legion of torturers. 

When the bell rang, the girl didn't dare ask him for the eraser back, and Vance was already almost running out of the room anyway. 

…

As she took the milk carton, Violet averted her gaze to the pinball machine. Of course Vance was there, fighting for supremacy as if life had no other meaning; he seemed more relaxed than at school, and she even heard him bantering a bit with the one boy who had enough balls (or the requisite lack of brain cells) to hang out with him. The show was interrupted by the arrival in droves of some girls Violet had the displeasure of meeting: Sandy, Lizzie and Pearl, laughing their heads off and in their finest attire, the weekend was an invitation for North Denver teens to shake off a little of the school doldrums, after all.

Violet scurried to the counter to pay as quickly as possible and leave, but to her bad luck one of the girls spotted her.

"Violet!" she exclaimed, smiling at her as if they were best friends "What are you doing here?"

"What a pretty dress...is it your grandmother's?" spat Lizzie, and her friends laughed at the joke. Violet took the paper bag with the milk and eggs and turned away from them, or at least she tried to, because they followed her out the door.

"Don't go, Violet!" the giggles followed her beyond the door, and the girl, crestfallen, clenched the bag angrily. Oh, if only she were a little braver to put them in their place.....

Violet was aware that she had no friends, at least not at school. She spent her hours alone, reading on the sly so the bullies wouldn't go and take her book or glasses, even going to the bathroom gave her a sense of danger because already once Sandy and her friends managed to lock her in, although the mischief didn't last long thanks to a passing janitor. She saw red every time they or some other insufferable one showed up, but she was not able to do anything, no one could ever respect her, with that fragile body and that unbeatable shyness... and the world was not like in the books, a gentleman of dubious reputation but heart of gold would not appear to protect her.

…

"Bradley, Carradine, Cotton..." the Literature teacher was returning the papers to the students, with a stern expression "I'm disappointed, guys, most of you don't seem to have fully understood the instructions and your papers are... well, improvable if anything, I hope for the fall term your writing will change... Dennis, Durk, Gray..." the sheet that corresponded to Violet's essay showed a nice A+ "Gilles, as always, your work exceeds expectations, congratulations"

She smiled at the sheet, she really was proud of her little dissertation on romance, but she heard a farting sound and an insidious voice muttering behind her back:

"Congratulations to the great writer..." 

A chorus of laughter followed, which Violet chose to ignore, until a hand reached behind her trying to take the sheet from her.

"Let me see" Pearl demanded. Violet tugged at her work, shielding it.

"No!"

"Let me see it, Violet."

"I don't want to." 

"What a creep!" and Pearl returned to her seat, but not before whipping half her face using her long hair with an exaggerated gesture. There was another pair of eyes on her, two desks away: Vance Hopper was looking at her sideways, and noticing him she folded the sheet and tucked it between the pages of her notebook nervously. 

Gym class was the one Violet dreaded the most coming up, it was as if it had been designed for people like her to go through adult-validated humiliations, and that day the teacher could think of nothing better than to put them in dodgeball. Violet kept her face serene, not knowing whether it was wiser to leave her glasses on (at least she could see the damn balls coming) or not (so as to avoid breaking them).

"You know the rules: don't cross the line, each team must stay on their side, hits directed at the face are illegal... ready?"

At the sound of the whistle, the massacre began, most were playing in true sportsmanship, but since they were on mixed teams, it was not uncommon for there to be a clear intent on the part of the boys to attack each other more viciously. The exception was Violet, who saw a ball thrown by one of the boys, Rick, coming and barely ducked to avoid getting hit in the head. She ran after an abandoned ball and tried her luck throwing it haphazardly; the truth was that Violet had a lot of arm strength, and the ball crossed almost the entire field until it landed at the feet of a very out-of-the-way player.

"Throw more carefully!" a girl from her team scolded her, passing by her side. 

Three members of her side of the court had been knocked out in less than five minutes, all downed by Vance's throws. Violet grabbed another ball, and at that moment two more were headed for her; she jumped back, avoiding the hit almost for nothing, but that seemed to incite some of the opposing team to go after her without quarter, and she found herself running like mad, dodging them until Lizzie, who was on her team, came out in her path.

"Where do you think you're going?" she shrieked, shoving her "Throw the ball, stupid!"

The shove, combined with the unsteadiness of her feet, tripped her up. She heard laughter from both sides of the field and, raging, she sat up and threw the ball with a piercing scream. This time she really hit someone.

"Hopper, eliminated!" the teacher announced after a whistle. Violet stood there, hands still outstretched and eyes wide as Vance walked off the field in clear annoyance. Of course, hitting the other kids without getting reprimanded had to be his favorite thing in the world, and Violet had just taken that away from him.

"You hit Pinball Vance!" taunted a boy behind her back.

"You're dead, bitch," added another girl, grinning.

…

Everyone knew it was unwise to talk to Vance while he was playing, so Violet stood at the side of the magazines, pretending to be looking for one, to give the boy time to take a break. That lasted an eternity, and as soon as she saw Vance's hands let go of the machine, with a deep sigh, she walked over to him.

"He-hello..." she greeted with a bowed head and a sidelong glance at him. Vance turned his head toward her.

"And what do you want?" he asked with his usual grumpiness.

"It's just...I wanted to a-apologize...for today in class..." 

She looked down at her hands, waiting to receive either an insult or perhaps a shove. What she heard was a sort of snort.

"Are you serious? That was a stupid exercise, you think I was going to beat you to a pulp or what?" the boy sneered. Violet just ducked her head even more, and Vance shook his, incredulous "Fuck...what's your name?"

"V-Violet."

"Well then, Violet, don't apologize to me, I didn't even remember that shit anymore, okay?" and without a second thought, Vance leaned over to put another penny in the pinball machine and go about his business.

"Okay...bye." 

"Uh-huh" grunted the boy without looking at her, focused again.

…

The girls screamed in horror when the beetle landed on Violet's head, but Violet took it off without flinching. She looked at the bug fighting for its life, waving its little legs that looked ridiculous compared to its huge body, and thought it looked cute, so she carried it over to the window to let it out.

"Oh no, you let your lunch go!" shouted one of the girls, receiving the usual support from the crowd. Violet returned to her seat, but a boy sat in it, smiling. She already knew what was coming, and decided to pretend she didn't care: someone stood on a desk behind her, and poured a sea of trash, paper, pencil scraps, even a banana peel that slid down her left shoulder.

"Are you done?" she asked as she shook off the shavings. A booming voice exclaimed:

"What the fuck are you doing there?" 

The hubbub stopped, and even Violet turned around. Vance glared at the boy holding the trash can.

"That's my seat, asshole, get down now!" the blond ordered him. His terrified companion jumped down from the desk, and when Vance approached, he saw the remains of the trash as well. "Come here..." he reached out an arm and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, the crowd slowly drifting away "You threw all this crap, right?"

"I-I... I..." stammered the boy.

"Clean my damn desk!" he spat, almost throwing him face-first into it. Vance was intimidating by his mere presence and no one dared to object, plus the truth was that they were all a year younger than him, and so his eyes noticed that Violet also had traces of trash still stuck to her clothes.

Lunchtime came, and Violet was again with her back against a wall. She wasn't reading, she was writing, she had been working on that story since the Christmas vacations and had about half a notebook full of notes, and there was no happier time than when she could sit down and continue her tale.

She noticed out of the corner of her eye someone approaching, and immediately, as a precaution, she hid her notebook behind her; it turned out to be Vance, who, seeing her there, made a contrite face. Violet averted her face nervously, almost hugging her knees as the blond walked past her.

"What are you doing here?" he asked "This is my place."

"This is where I always come" Violet didn't measure her words, and almost to the point she regretted it. But Vance only shrugged and leaned against the wall.

"I hope you're not a damn snitch," and he pulled out of his clothes a cigarette and a lighter that was clearly from the school lab. Violet relaxed a bit and picked up her notebook again, while the boy next to her smoked like it was nothing. "And what's that, more homework?" he suddenly added.

"No" Violet replied simply.

"Good thing, I'm up to my neck in that shit."

He stood there until the cigarette was finished, then he threw it away, crushed it with his foot and walked away without another word. Violet saw the cigarette butt half a foot away, and thought Vance reminded her of a dragon, and imagining him as one, with scales and a tail, she laughed a little.

…

"Hopper, you'll be teaming up with Gilles" announced the Literature teacher. Vance glanced behind her back, the blue eyes were riveted on the girl's surprised face, and the murmurs were not long in coming "Gilles, I'm sorry, but since you're the most advanced it will be up to you to put Mr. Hopper on terms."

Some, those who didn't spend their lives annoying her, watched her with a little pity, the rest barely concentrated, eager to see the fearsome boy tear her to shreds. The class stood up to switch seats to join their activity partners, and Violet noticed Vance plop down at the desk across from her, facing her.

"Let's get this over with soon," he said dryly. Violet nodded and checked her notes.

"Well...what have you read about exoticism? It seems like a good topic to me."

"Exoticism? Does it have to do with naked girls?"

Vance didn't bother to lower his voice if he didn't feel it was necessary, and several laughed at his comment, though they quieted when they felt him looking at them. Violet bit her lip to stifle her own laughter.

"No, that's..." she throat cleared "Look, exoticism is an addition to literary romanticism, okay?" she extended her book towards him, she already knew that Vance often forgot his own books "Remember last class? The teacher talked about exoticism and gothic text in the works of Poe and Maupassant..."

"I have no idea what you're talking about." 

"You didn't... take notes?"

"What for? Every course we look at the same fucking topics."

"Well, then you should remember something."

"Well no" growled Vance.

"So how are we going to do the work then?" 

"How should I know? I'm sorry the teacher put you in with me, because you're going to have a hard time."

Violet frowned and closed her book with a snap.

"I already have a hard time anyway. Listen, I'll explain the subject but you have to promise to work with me...okay?" she added coyly, the boy's eyes (fierce, blue eyes) bore into her face, silent for long seconds.

"As you wish" he agreed at last, leaning against the back of the desk.

"Well... open your notebook."

"What, are you going to dictate to me?"

"No, but I want to make sure you're actually listening to me."

"Shit" but Vance took his notebook, and spent the entire class listening to the explanations his partner was relaying to him. In the end they couldn't make any progress on the project, but the disappointment of those who expected to see her smacking her forehead with the book out of frustration was a small victory.

"Tell me I won't need all this crap" the blond muttered, finally closing his notebook as the bell rang.

"You'll see later, and by the way..." Violet sat up to put her things away, and for the first time dared to look him in the eye "What you were thinking about is called eroticism, and it's also a part of literature."

Vance stood there, in one piece, until the girl walked past him waving goodbye with a thread of a voice.

…

The rain puddles were so wide that Violet knew she couldn't save her shoes, but she cared more about protecting the rest of her. As it turned out, she had gone out to the park when the rain caught up with her, and was unlucky enough to run into the classroom gang who were always bothering her, and who didn't hesitate to corner her just for the fun.

"And where did you get that haircut? I don't want to go to that hairdresser ever."

"Violet, why are you so hideous, on your mother's or father's side?"

"Let me see your glasses..."

She had already lost a pair in the previous term because some boys threw them into the street and a car crushed them, so she was jumping up and down among the jeering mob trying to get them back.

"That's enough!" she exclaimed "Give them to me!"

"You can't see shit with these!" scoffed one, shoving them in her face before passing them to another girl. 

"Please!" demanded Violet.

"There they go!" the girl tossed them and Violet went after them, but another boy beat her to it, ready to continue the cruel joke. Fed up, Violet planted herself and shouted:

"Fuck you!"

The boys laughed, the rain had started to get worse, and one of them stumbled. Violet took the opportunity to try to take off her glasses, but he resisted sufficiently and, in desperation, she grabbed him by the hand and bit him with all her might. 

"Aaaaagh!" the scream of pain upset everything, and as soon as Violet got hold of her glasses again, she understood that she had just crossed a line "You fucking bitch!"

Without a second thought she broke into a run, doing her best not to stumble. She knew, because she heard them, that the group was chasing her and this time she wasn't going to get away with just a couple of swipes, however she was a long way from home, and the only shelter nearby was....

She entered the mini-supermarket like a flash, to the surprise of the shopkeeper who gave a gasp as Violet entered the aisles, seeking to go unnoticed. She ended up with her back against one of the refrigerators and, seized by anguish, let out a plaintive moan. The door opened again, and the boys entered in search of their victim.

"Where the fuck is she?" growled the one with the bitten hand. Violet tensed, it wasn't going to take them long to find her.

"Hey!" a familiar voice called out to her, and she saw that Vance was in his usual spot, counting the pennies "What are you doing?"

The girl's eyes reflected well the fear she felt, and when one of the girls peeked down the aisle of refrigerators she shouted:

"Here it is!"

"Are they too close to the door?" asked Violet to Vance. The group went to meet her, and she stood up without peeking out of the fridges.

"You thought you were going to get away with this, didn't you?" 

The boys surrounded her, and the girls, not far behind, smirked. 

"Apologize!" the one with the injured hand yelled at her "Apologize now, you stupid bitch!"

She was scared to death standing there, left to her own devices, and with at least six people surrounding her. 

"I didn't want to do it..." she muttered "But you made me."

"Did you hear? I didn't hear an apology..." the boy's hands grabbed her by the arms, crushing her against the refrigerator "You're going to pay for this."

Another boy opened another refrigerator, taking a can of soda, and after opening it he poured its content over Violet's head. There was more laughter, so much that the shopkeeper's screams were drowned out by them.

"Hey, you guys! What do you think you're doing?"

"How about this?" scoffed the boy holding her. Violet felt like crying, no one seemed to care what was happening to her, anger and grief took hold of her...and then another voice cut in, along with a blow that sent the boy with the can flying through the air.

"Evan!" shrieked the girls, rushing to the aid of the fallen boy. Two hands grabbed the boy by the bitten hand and threw him against one of the shelves with such force that he narrowly missed falling; Vance reached over to punch the boy in the face and then, pulling one of his ears, shouted:

"How about this, uh, are you a sissy who can't fight men?" and as if to make it clear that he wasn't going to waste any more time on him, he slapped him. The other boys, frightened, were starting to walk away, but Vance immediately gave them the eye "What are you looking at, get out! I swear if you come around here again I'll break your fucking noses!"

Violet didn't move until everyone involved left, Vance then looked at her and walked over.

"What did you do to them to make them come after you like that?" he asked.

"They took my glasses...I bit one of them."

"You bit him? Don't you know how to use your fists? Forget it, you're a girl, of course you don't know..."

"I don't know if you noticed but there were six of them and I was only one."

"So what?" Vance snorted, and reached an arm out to grab a box of tissues off the shelf. He opened it undeterred by the owner's shouts and handed it to Violet. 

"Thank you," she murmured, wiping off some of the soda.

"Don't thank me" growled Vance "If it had been just the girls I wouldn't care, but only cowards attack in a group and on top of that, someone weaker than them."

"Still thanks, it wasn't your problem."

"Yes, it's true..." it looked like he was going to tell her something else, but after a few seconds of hesitation, he took the coins out of his pocket again "I'm going to have to pay for that box of tissues, I won't have any left for pinball"

"Don't worry, I'll pay for them" 

"Forget it, besides that old magpie won't let me in again if I don't pay."

Vance went to the counter and dropped ten cents in it, to the woman's uncomfortable look. Violet then walked past him, and held out a nickel.

"What's this?" the blond asked.

"Money, don't you see? For pinball."

Vance snorted.

"Keep it, I don't need it."

"Please..." she insisted. Vance seemed to debate with himself, and finally took the coin much more gently than Violet had seen him use before, and gave her a smile. "Thanks again."

"Go home" Vance replied "Before the soda makes all your hair sticky."

The girl walked out, watching from the glass as Vance returned to the machine. It seemed to her that he was smiling too.

If I Win, Then We're Up

Daichi takes you on a date to an arcade 

You bounce on your feet, holding a ribbon of tickets. You watch Daichi approach the machine, his hair painted blue and purple from the surrounding arcade lights. He’s holding four skee balls and you watch his tongue poke out from his lips as he throws one, then two, then three and four, never scoring more than 10 points with any one of them. 

“Okay, this arcade is rigged,” he sighs, grabbing the three tickets the machine spits out. 

You bump into his shoulder with your own.  “You’re just saying that because we found something I’m better at than you,” you tease. 

Daichi glares at you, staring at the winding ribbon of tickets in your hand. “Come on I’ll buy you something at the exhange desk.”

He crosses his arms, “I’m supposed to buy you something. It’s why I took you here, it’s like the thing.”

“The thing?”

“You know, like bringing a date to a horror movie so they cling to you the whole time.”

Your grin widens and he groans, pressing his palms into his eyes. “But you hate horror movies! You always hide behind my arms when we watch them.”

“Yes well, then it’s something that someone obviously cooler than me can take a date to and have it be effective.”

“You’re cool,” you say as you approach the exchange deck and fork over 800 tickets for the glow in the dark galaxy teddy bear and another 100 for a candy bracelet and two ring pops. 

You hand him the bear and a ring pop, popping your own, strawberry, into your mouth. “Where to next?”

“Home,” he says but it’s lost a lot of the gruffness from before. Secretly, you know he loves this. He loves that you’re surprisingly good at dance dance revolution and that you can hit the 50 mark with all of your skee balls. You killed him in laser tag and then again at the mini bowling alley. Still, it stings that he asked you here so he could pretend he was cool and impress you. 

“Nah, we still have at least one more game to hit before we do that.”

“Oh do we,” he asks, eyebrows raised on his forehead. 

You wink at him and go bounding off, painted in golds and greens and the weird cyan that makes up the displays of so many of the games. You stop in front of a tall display, with lights that blink and a light-up, transparent hammer. “Here’s your chance to shine,” you say, waving at the game like you’ve revealed a trophy or a new car. 

 “A strength tester, really?”

“You scoff,” you say, taking the ring pop out of your mouth and waving it at him, “but those beefy arms have got to be good at something.”

“All the measurements are in animals.”

“Yes, Daichi, and obviously you’ll make it to the rhinocerous at least.” You hand him the hammer and he takes it, letting you insert two tokens so that it lights up. He feels like an idiot. He hasn’t seen anyone use this machine since you got here, but you’ve beaten him at everything you’ve tried and he’s always loved these strength machines whenever he’s gone to fairs. You’re right too, he tends to get at least third from the top, if he can’t actually ring the bell. 

“What do you get on this machine?” He asks as he winds up, nervous. If he messes this up then he’ll really have nothing going for him. 

“That’s not important,” you say and he stops to stare at you. 

“You are so much better than me today, this is not going to be the thing that ruins it.”

You press a hand to your chest in mock offense, “Just today? I’d argue I’m better than you at least 80% of the time.”

“You really know how to kick a man when he’s down,” he retorts, staring up at the plastic bell at the top of the machine. ‘GO’ in bright red block letters flashes on and off, prompting him to take his swing. 

He hikes the hammer up, bringing it down like a pick ax onto the small sensor. The tiny plastic pellet shoots up, up, up and hits the bell at the top, which rings out into the arcade. Tickets shoot out of the slot, a ribbon twice as long as the one you got for skee ball.

“See, there’s my strong man!” You croon. 

Daichi eyes you, “Be honest, are you only with me for my body?”

“Only? Hmm...” you pretend to think and he hits you in the shoulder, “I mean what’s a mouse gonna do without their musk ox boyfriend?”

He laughs then, his eyes scrunching up and his mouth stretched wide. “You got a mouse on this game?”

You laugh with him, bringing up a shoulder, “Well I was seven, but yes, it was as far as I could get it.”

“Well I guess I’ll just have to be the strong one in the relationship,” he says, tugging the strand of tickets out of the dispenser. “Now, let me go buy you a teddy bear.”

“Can I get the strawberry one?”

He presses a kiss to the top of your head, wrapping his arms around your front from behind. “Of course.”

[lady-maria-the-wolf225]

This is how the boys would react if they see their S/O bring a guinea pig, ferret, hamster, or a bunny to the lair: 🐹🐭🐰🐾:

Guinea pig: Leo would hold it and feed it some greens as he smiles at it, petting it. He would sometimes meditate with it since guinea pigs would sometimes just burrow their faces into people's hands due to fear, but he wouldn't mind it.

Ferret: he'd be amazed on how it can fit into tight spaces due to having a long lanky body. He would also believe it would be a ninja one day if it was mutated somehow but its just his own prespective.

Hamster: Leo would enjoy watching it run in its wheel and going through all those tubes. Its like playing a game of hide n seek but with a tiny furball to him.

Bunny: the hopping would be the least of the blue man's worries. He would be very cautious that it won't eat his plants since it took him years to grow them. He would give it a carrot or some rabbit pellets that Donnie has in his lab for some reason.

Guinea pig: Raph would love it as a workout buddy. It would just sit on his lower plastron eating its food as the red guy lifts his weights, and he would show it how to punch someone in the gut by demonstrating with his punching bag. The squeaking can get a bit annoying at times, but he would still love to have it around.

Ferret: he'd be weirded out by the body length. Raph just wouldn't understand it but he once said it looks like a snake with a bear face on it. He did at one point made it look like it was doing sit ups and it made him chuckle due to how funny it reacted to it. He may always think its weird, but still kinda fun to hang around with.

Hamster: um......yeah. About that. He is a real dick to hamsters. There was this one time he held it but it bit his finger, as he flung it into the air sucking on the bloody bite mark. Thankfully it wasn't hurt since it landed on a soft platform. To make it even worse, when he's alone with it and no one is looking, he'd watch it get on its exercise wheel, but then he would spin it hard as the poor hamster itself spins along with the wheel like a rag doll. Raph would laugh at it and say: "that's what ya get ya little pube! Now we're even!" Yeah. Never show a hamster to him.

Bunny: he'd be alright with a bunny sniffing and hopping around. Since it's a smart animal, he'd give it a basketball playset. He would watch it lift the tiny ball and put it in the basket. He would cheer for it and act kind of a goofball like mikey. It would also make him feel like he's watching an actual basketball game but with one bunny. Its fun to him. Plus he would also love to feed it.

Guinea pig: Donnie isnt very fond of guinea pigs because they eat a lot. He grew tired of feeding it by hand when he is working with his stuff in his lab, so he did made an invention that would feed it automatically. He does like to brush its fur though. It gives him time to think.

Ferret: he would find the ferret amazing to look at. He would test to see how long it can reach its food without climbing on anything, and see if it can jump on anything. He would even test for any diseases just in case. If it was sick, he'd be happy to make an antidote in his lab and inject it with a syringe to make it feel better.

Hamster: he would love to have a hamster by his side! He would have it as his mini lab assistant by having it help him power some old lightbulbs, test it to see how smart it is to escape a maze, and plus, nerdy boy here would make a tiny helmet so he can communicate with it to understand what its saying. Lets all hope it goes well.

Bunny: he would be worried for a bunny to be around. Mostly because of its constant chewing. There was one time it chewed off a cable from the computer causing it to malfunction and lose some progress he made on it. So a bunny would be a no no for him.

Guinea pig: oh boy! He would love to play with a guinea pig all day! He would play video games with it, read comic books with it, and even dress it up in cute costumes he made himself, even if they dont look great. He would do everything with a guinea pig no matter what.

Ferret: Mikey would find it funny on how long it is. He would give it nicknames like "slinky" or "twinki". What's even more fun with a ferret, is that he can make it dance! All the twisty and bouncy moves he can make it do with his favorite music. The fun never stops at all!

Hamster: he would watch the little thing run around in its ball all over the lair. But he would have to watch out for Raph because....yeah. He would try to kick it like a soccer ball like the red dick he really is. But cooking with it would be fun putting a chef hat on its head and doing a cooking tutorial with it. Tiny but adorable in his opinion!

Bunny: a bunny is such a precious bean to him. He wouldn't care for the chewing of his things except for his gaming console and tv. He would love to play wonderland with it. Mikey would be the mad hatter giving it tea and he would try to give it pizza but he is sad once he finds out he cant because bunnies cant eat pizza at all. Overall, he loves all kinds of animals no matter what they are. Its the fun he has with them that counts. 😁

[nyxthecolonialmewtwo]

[Hannah@Nyx] The tiny mewtwo approaches, being honestly really curious. "Hey! Uhm- s-sorry to interrupt...watcha doing over there? It looks interesting!"

Nyx looks up. “Drawing from my memories of one particularily disastrous vacation on the Moon. Dad needed to uncover, where did the shipments of technical gold go, Ash the Earthsider was searching for a missing Diancie and got sponsored to go to the Moon and I was just with the family. Our routes got kinda intertwined on the later stages and, well… let me just say, that it was for a multitude of reasons - one of them being that gold is a great gain material for the explosion-pumped X-ray laser and one of the others being that diamonds make great reflectors for the X-ray lasers.” She chuckles sadly. “Even though I am a pretty powerful Psychic, I still have a big weakness - none of my normal defense moves cover certain parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, which are where combat lasers usually work. I have to bypass this with solid-matter barriers I form with telekinesis.” Nyx looks back at the PDA. “So, what’s happened is that in our investigation we’ve found where did both Diancie and gold go. We’ve barely survived the meeting with it. On my previous drawing is what we’ve met in our searches -  a laser mech with diamond optics and explosion-pumped laser. Let me just quote one of the technical notes we’ve found back then.” She opens a text file on the PDA, which reads: “Wow. Holy smokes, peeps. I've got a thought about a mech. Gigantic mech With a laser. Humongous laser.Step-by-step: Take inertial-contained fusion drive, or mini-mag pulser, pulsed fission-fusion etc. Throw away the magnetic nozzle and most of the radiators. Ignition system (laser, particle accelerators, plasma, antimatter - whatever) is put together like a ring. For example, for the fuel pellet with 10t TNT equivalent, we're going to have ring roughly 100m in diameter (or maybe much smaller, nozzle of the mini-mag pulser’s 20m in diameter with energy yield three times greater, but we don't have to intercept energy - quite the opposite, in fact). Fuel pellet's loaded with a golden rod. Do you feel it? Right, it's a gain material for the X-ray laser, which emits the beam along the axis of the ignition ring. Without bomb-jiggle and all those misguiding factors, just like in the drugstore.Then, we place multi-layered diamond X-ray reflectors a few hundred meters apart. Now we have an X-ray laser with an actually good aperture, which's not limited by the gain material proportions. With 10m reflectors and a ton of TNT on the nanometer beam, this thing’s going to keep the power at lethal levels (around 10 kJ/cm2) on the distance up to 200 light seconds, more than a third of an AU. Holy Arceus. And the funniest thing is that mass of this thing’s going to easily fit in a few dozens of tons. Don't wanna calculate RN, but looking at the engine designs we, approximately, have: required systems of the mini-mag pulser are less than 30 tons, and we're having even smaller of a "caliber". Of course, this thing’s wonderful by itself. Or on the spaceship. Especially since it can easily be a part of an engine, it just needs a nozzle. But it's not stylish enough for us, so we're going to place it on a small celestial body without atmosphere (Moon, where we already have some assets). And put it on the legs. Since the machine's low on mass, the gravity is weak and the size is enormous, we're going to get a gigantic Surskit-alike on long, thin legs. It can easily crawl around, not being limited in remass (it always has an unlimited supply of it right beneath its legs). Considering range of those lasers, ability to constantly and chaotically move around, even in standby mode is a gigantic advantage. And just to hammer things in, we can install MHD recuperation system on the either side of ignition ring, using the energy from otherwise-wasted plasma to recharge capacitors of the ignition system. With that thing in place, our only firing rate limitation would be how how fast we can chug the pellets in place and how fast can we dissipate the heat." She selects the second note, which is much shorter and reads: “Approval for your project is given. Resources will be transferred to the Moon shortly. Begin the R&D ASAP.” Nyx closes the app, switching back to drawing, and resumes: “With that in mind, when we first met the laser mech, we, to say frankly, were at a gigantic disadvantage. Even if we ignore the mobile nuclear powerplants, converted into escort laser tanks and Psy-jammers, this thing could still depress enough to take aim at the things at the ground level. Thanks to the Psy-jammers, I couldn’t attack it directly via normal means and looking down the optics of a gigantic laser with enough power and range to be able to damage the colony without even leaving the Moon was… disturbing, to say the least. Thanks Victini dad managed to ‘procure’ an old, but still working portable tactical subkiloton nuclear launcher from the times Soris Empire was sorta-expected to attack the Von Braun city and vice versa and use it to cripple the leg of a laser mech, forcing it to fire beam to the side…” She sighs, remembering this hectic day further. “The problem was, we were still at disadvantage and the mech was still working. We’ve had to run towards the ‘Drapion’ and take off from the Moon ASAP... but, unfortunately, they’ve managed to swap out the leg and bring the mech into action again. I’ve had to lift around 20,000 tons of regolith and form it into a chaotically-swirling cloud in order to cover us against laser fire, while also helping to lift the ship faster. Here’s the still from one of the ship’s rear view cameras.” She opens a picture and shows it to Hannah:

“The cloud-like things at the sides are exhaust cones of the nuclear thermal-arcjet engines. The grey cloud in the middle is the regolith shield I’ve formed. It was taken when I was almost entirely spent, hence mech managing to nearly-penetrate the shield by firing at one point and forming a Matryoshka cavity. Thankfully, it got overheated soon and, as soon as it stopped firing, I’ve fired most of the cloud at it as a dispersed attack. It didn’t destroy it completely, but it did destroy the optics, which were the most expensive parts of the mech, and force it back into repair cave. Even so, from having to keep the cloud formed and swirling chaotically enough non-stop, then launching it… long story short, I’ve fallen into a hypoglycemic coma from using Psychic so much without taking care to keep the blood sugar at an optimal level. It wasn’t a problem, but it did bring me out of action for a shortwhile.”

The Battle of Area 51

“This is not a game,” Nico lectured sternly, and Percy snickered. “This is no laughing matter, Jackson! Okay, let’s run through the plan one last time! Ares cabin, Clarisse, you’ll lead the charge, take down the guards, lay down cover fire for the Naruto runners! Poseidon Cabin, Zeus cabin, you guys whip up a storm to help the Ares cabin! Apollo cabin and Hunters of Artemis, you’re the snipers, I want you on high ground firing arrows at them! Aphrodite cabin, charmspeak those guards to let us past and to give us access codes to all the rooms and spill all the secrets! Hecate cabin, use the mist to make decoys! Nemesis cabin, remember, this is vengeance for all the imprisoned aliens and that’s why you’re here! Demeter cabin, slow the guards down with thick vines and poisonous plants! Athena cabin, you’re working on infiltrating and hacking all the computers! Hephaestus cabin, burn down gun stations, jam missiles, Festus can burn down doorways, I want to see you guys working on all the technology we steal and I want you all to figure out all the machines inside and use them for our advantage! Dionysus cabin, get them drunk, make them temporarily mad, weaken their defences! Iris cabin, use your abilities to disorientate and distract the guards! Hypnos cabin- CLOVIS WAKE UP- send the guards to sleep when you can! Hermes cabin, you’re stealing and sneaking in whilst the guards are distracted! Hades cabin- well Hazel- summon obstacles and summon weapons, shadow travel aliens to safety. The rest of you, just fuck shit up with your abilities! Romans; same rules apply, and follow the orders of your Praetors, do not go against orders unless necessary!”

“LET’S CLAP SOME ALIEN CHEEKS!” Connor yelled. Nico glared at him, whilst the younger campers plus Percy erupted into giggles.

“There will be no clapping alien cheeks,” Nico sighed in exasperation, “no alien cheeks will be clapped by anybody, by Olympus what the Hades is wrong with straight people?”

“Wait you’re gay?!”

“Yes but that’s not the point, just- go blend in with the mortals! Solace- you’re with me, we’ll go in with the Naruto runners and you need to make sure we don’t infect the aliens and they don’t infect us, and treat the wounded.” Percy wolf-whistled, so Nico summoned a skeleton to smack him round the back of the head. The group of demigods dispersed amongst the mortal army- which wasn’t much, but between the Kyles, weeaboos, tumblr trash, and Naruto runners, there was a fair few, and some cosplayers, DnD players, and medieval recreation nerds seemed to have a fair amount of weapons and armour- even if most of it was plastic light sabers, Klingon Bat’leths, and various other fantasy weapons.

Everything was quiet for a while, and the battle was more a staring down contest between the guards and the civilian raiders. Phones were beginning to live stream, and that’s when the Stoll brothers yelled the immortal battle cry “DO IT FOR THE VINE!!!” and the mortal crowd roared and cheered, repeating the battle cry.

“PEANUT BUTTER!!!” Tyson yelled as the crowd surged forwards. Nico screamed, Naruto running as fast as he could towards the guards, summoning skeleton armies of Naruto runners to back them up, but as soon as the guards opened fire, many Naruto runners gave up and turned away running back, or decided it best to run “normally”. One dedicated man had turned his electric wheelchair into some kind of turbo charged mini tank shaped like a Dalek. Fortnite dancers fortnite danced as they charged, Harry Potter fans desperately yelled out Unforgiveable Curses. Stargate fans dressed as Jaffa and Goa’uld warriors charged with staff weapons and pellet guns, some wearing “Free Thor” t-shirts- but not Marvel’s Thor or the Norse God thor- but rather the tiny alien guy Nico recognised from when Will made him watch Stargate. The Stargate Atlantis fans came dressed as Wraith instead. Marvel fans were clad in full superhero gear, although some fights had broken out between them and the DC fans. Star Wars fans dressed in Jedi robes. Clad in armour, the demigods didn’t look out of place. Nico was pleased to see the Egyptian magicians being lead by Sadie and Carter Kane, Magnus Chase and Samirah al-Abbass leading the Valkyries, Alex Fierro next to Frank Zhang shapeshifting into whatever they could. Alex stopped occasionally so she could spray mace into the eyes of Terfs.

Nico shadow travelled at the last minute, grabbing hold of Will and pulling him through the shadows. Will didn’t slow down when they emerged, and the image of Will Naruto running headfirst into a wall was going to be a source of laughter in Nico’s mind for many years to come. Thankfully, he didn’t do a Jason and knock himself out. “Ah fuck, I can’t believe you’ve done this!” Will gasped, and Nico raised his eyebrow. In the distance, they heard Grover cause a Panic- although it didn’t affect the guards about to shoot Will in the face, so Will let out a shrill whistle and Naruto ran for it.

“Dork,” Nico jibed, pulling Will into the shadows again. Nico meant for them to land inside an aircraft hangar- but it soon became clear that they were inside some kind of alien spaceship.

“Holy Hera,” Will gasped, “Nico THIS SHIP HAS A STARGATE! NICO LOOK THAT IS A STARGATE, IMMA DIAL ABYDOS-”

“Focus, Solace,” Nico warned, “we can do that once we get this back to camp. I wasn’t allowed to drive the sun chariot so I’ll drive this time.”

“I get the feeling I’m gonna die if I let you drive,” Will replied, and Nico huffed.

“That’s if I don’t kill your stupid face first,” he retorted proudly, and Will snickered, looking around the ship.

“OH MY GODS NICO THERE’S A LIGHT SABER HERE!”

“DIBS THE RED ONE,” Nico yelled, rushing over and grabbing one, almost decapitating Will in his excitement.

“We should summon up a certain ghost,” Will grinned.

“Are you suggesting we prank call Castellan?”

“Nico, dude. You have to, for humanity. Do it for our children.”

Several runs to McDonald’s later and Luke Castellan’s ghost was confronted by Nico in pitch black armour and a light saber to speak the immortal words: “Luke, I am your father.” Luke’s ghost laughed. The gods applauded from Olympus. Will was unable to get up off the floor through his raucous laughter.

After several minutes of exploring the craft, the two demigods were armed with phasers and now possessed the infinity gauntlet- although they both agreed not to let Percy near it in case he dabbed rather than Thanos snapped at monsters. Nico shadow travelled a fair amount of the loot back to camp, where Chiron stood facepalming and shaking his head. This is when Nico learned that the Party Ponies had joined the raid and found out that Monster Donut were sponsoring Area 51. Nico returned to find Will making a flower crown for a baby alien he’d found hidden in the glove compartment. “Is that what I think it is,” Nico questioned, and Will smiled.

“An alien? Well yeah.”

“No, I meant a baby. Are you seriously holding a baby?”

“Yeah, a cute little alien baby, I made them a flower crown and put a bow in their hair! Well I hope it’s a baby otherwise I just told a whole-ass adult I’m their daddy now.” Nico choked- Will didn’t appear to realise the innuendo his words would have turned into if the alien was an adult. Will appeared to have adopted an alien child and that somehow melted Nico completely. Stupid son of Apollo being a perfect dad to an abandoned alien baby found in the glove compartment of a space ship.

“You can’t just raise a child, Will, the parents won’t pay child support and you’re like- fifteen and you look- you look twelve, okay, you look like a foetus!”

“Nico I’m only two months older than you,” Will laughed, “I’m still fourteen like you are, idiot. Although technically you’re ninety, you can be the grandpa.”

“I’m not going to be your daddy, Solace,” Nico replied, forgetting how it may have sounded like an innuendo, and Will choked and spluttered.

“That word is officially banned,” Will squeaked, and Nico quickly nodded in agreement. Thankfully before it could get any more awkward, the alien child started to cry. “Oh my gods Nico what do I do with it?”

“Does it have an off switch or batteries you can take out like the babies they give you in school?”

“Um- I can’t see any off switch, Nico, what do I do?!”

“You’re the doctor! Sing to it! Just don’t do a Hera and yeet it off a mountain or out of a window, I don’t need you Percying this into a worse situation than it already is!”

“Oh my gods I’m a single parent before I’ve had the talk,” Will whined, trying to hum a lullaby to the alien baby, which screeched, turned into a bug, and ran. Will shrieked and Nico accidentally summoned a pile of alien skulls. “Hey! My singing isn’t that bad,” Will protested, and the alien bug screeched again and shot some kind of web at Will’s face. Will squealed, trying clumsily to wipe the webbing off his face. Once Nico stopped laughing, he helped to pull the webbing out of Will’s hair, although once he managed to detangle the last of the webbing, he found himself enthralled by the soft bouncy texture of Will’s hair. It was curly like Nico’s, but dryer to the touch, probably a testament to the hours of sunbathing Nico figured Will had to do in order to stay tanned all year round. He didn’t realise he was obsessively caressing his best friend’s hair until he felt Will’s hand on his shoulder. Nico gasped, snapping his hand back and muttering an apology, but Will merely smiled and gods that smile melted Nico. “Fellas, is it gay to kiss your homie at Area 51,” Will asked to nobody in particular, and Nico found himself turning puce as Will leaned in, placing a gentle but certainly not platonic kiss on Nico’s lips. Nico’s brain seemed to short circuit, skeletal butterflies resurrecting down his spine and in his stomach.

When Nico’s brain finally managed a coherent thought, all he could manage to say was “that’s gay.”

Will snorted, resting his head on Nico’s shoulder as he laughed silently. “You’re gay,” he finally replied through giggles.

“Well you kissed me, you’re gay,” Nico retorted with a huff.

“Yeah, but is it gay if it’s your homie and you’re in Area 51,” Will asked with an impish grin, lifting his head and giving Nico a mishievous grin.

“We are gay, you dumbass,” Nico replied, lightly shoving Will’s shoulder.

“I guess we are,” Will replied with feigned thoughtfulness lacing his voice, “maybe we should make out just to be sure.”

“Don’t push your luck, Solace,” Nico said sternly, and Will pouted comically. Nico stood on his toes and leaned up, but he was too short to reach, so Will leaned down and Nico was finally able to place a rough kiss on Will’s lips.

And of course, that just had to be the exact moment to hear a chorus of “two bros, chillin’ in a space ship, five feet apart ‘cause they’re not gay!” They broke apart immediately, startled by the presence of an Iris message showing Percy, Jason, Leo and Piper all grinning stupidly at them and Annabeth rolling her eyes.

“I’ll kill you all if you dare tell anyone,” Nico warned, raising skeletons to chase after them- although the skeletons were certainly not human. Leo and Percy screamed and ran, whilst Piper and Will laughed loudly. Jason merely raised his eyebrow, and Nico shrugged in response.

“So, that’s your type, huh,” Percy grinned, “I never thought we’d share a type!”

“What,” Nico snapped.

“Bossy blondes,” Percy replied, and Jason and Annabeth glared daggers.

“I agree,” Piper chimed in, “bossy blondes are worth the trouble.” This time, Jason and Annabeth both blushed.

Nico shrugged, looking back to Will, who seemed to be pre-occupied with the Stargate behind them. “Well, this one’s my bossy blond,” Nico replied fondly.

“Troublemakers are my type,” Annabeth replied, and Percy and Piper bowed proudly, “and Jason’s.”

“My type is pouty emo kids with long hair and sexy accents,” Will replied, and Nico blushed darkly.

“Your type is troublemakers,” Piper replied, “the ideal OTP formula is bossy blonde and troublemaking brunette, you can’t change my mind.”

“Whatever,” Nico protested. The Iris message cut off when a fight broke out between a Star Wars stan and a Trekkie.

“So,” Will began immediately, “can we be boyfriends now?”

“Only if you keep PDA to a minimum,” Nico replied, and Will beamed, glowing a warm amber light. Before they could do much more, however, a loud explosion ripped their attention away from each other. They both ran out to find the source of the explosion, and that is where they found Clarisse refereeing a battle between Shaggy and Thanos. The Stolls were running a betting ring, and Nico was sure they were all gonna die. But hey, it was a room full of Millennials and Gen Z, so nobody seemed particularly bothered by the danger of the situation, because this footage would certainly be legendary. Thanos snapped, and Shaggy disintegrated, only to reform using 1% of his power and steal the gauntlet. Shaggy dabbed, and Thanos was no more. Clarisse blew her whistle and the fight was over- the most epic showdown in human history and it had only taken seconds. Within minutes, lightening struck, and that was the moment Percy groaned loudly in realisation that the gods had been responsible for Area 51 all along.

“FUCK YOU, ZEUS,” Percy yelled, and the lightening would have struck him if it wasn’t for Shaggy eating the lightening bolt and letting out a loud burp.

“Do you have any wisdom, O mighty one,” Kayla asked, bowing at Shaggy’s feet.

“Sometimes you just gotta eat the enemy, man,” Shaggy replied, and the demigods let out a collective awed ‘ooohhh’. It was that moment that Shaggy burped out a heart-shaped arrow, and Nico realised that Shaggy had vored Cupid. Nico felt a smug grin break through his usually stoic expression, and Jason cheered loudly from the sidelines.

“Anyway, Shaggy said gay rights,” Will grinned.

“Actually, young man,” Shaggy said, gently resting his hand on Will’s shoulder, ���I say gay and trans rights. And on that note, I think I might assassinate the president! Until next time, guys, gals, and non-binary pals!” And with that, and a wink to Alex Fierro, Shaggy dissipated into the wind, enraging the bigots and empowering the queer kids.

The raid continued into the night, the Stolls helping to take technology back to camp and Clarisse leading the charge against the military. It was only when Nico and Will made their way to the middle of the camp, all of the aliens freed and all technology liberated, that the end of the raid was in sight. Nico opened the final door, the entire raid party behind them, to find Rick Astley tied to a chair, singing Never Gonna Give You Up. It was then that they realised: they had been Rickrolled by the government.
