Mother, soon after being poisoned, kidnapped, held in an abandoned building, and repeatedly and violently interrogated: how can i theater kid my way out of this one

[ask-mother-city-spies]

I do actually have a question. Since Kat, Brooklyn, Paris, and Rio don't speak English as a first language, do they ever speak it to hide things from Mother or if they're sick or upset? Has Mother made an attempt to learn, like, Nepali or Portuguese?

(I’m not sure if you’re asking this to mods, or him but I’ll also answer! Yes, he’s totally tried to do that, and I know he’d have a translator opened at all times on his phone to know what they’re saying. Anyways here’s his response:)

“Well, Yes! I often try to learn the language, they’re very much confusing. And those kids are very much smart, they try to hide things like sickness, or sadness from me and Monty. That won’t happen, I will always be their father and I will always care for them! I will find a way to understand them and I’ve learned a few simple words in Spanish and Portuguese, French too, Nepali is the most confusing for me. Thank you for the question!”

He smiles, a sincere one at that. He really does care.

(Anyways I’m gonna tag you so you can see the answer if you ask more question lmk if you don’t wanna be tagged: @shadyflowerdonut also yaya City spies fan)

trick or treat!

Wooaah …Treat!!

I shall give you…

Monty and Mother Drabble (but silly this is NOT close to canon it’s just silly)

————

Monty: *baking, humming to herself* *Mother walks in* Mother: “What’re you doing?” *he asked, interest piqued, to which she responded with a smile* Monty: “I’m baking. As always, I think you would know this already by how long we’ve known each other.”

Mother: “oh no, I do know by this point. I’m still asking to be a nuisance.”

Monty: “Of course you are.” *she said with an eye roll* Monty: “If you are this annoying I can’t imagine you as a teen. I would love to find a video of you.”

*Her looked nervously as he answered* Mother: “I may have one or two…”

*Immediately she’s in-front of him standing, ready to drag him.* Monty: “where.”

————-

BONUS (cuz ur amazing and I answered late because I wasn’t able to find the draft I was working on until now—):

*Monty turns on the old video recorder. Casually showing the kids who were sitting in the comfortable room of the manor, A video of Mother, who in that video was around Sydney and Paris’s age. To which all their mouths were agape as the video continued on showing them randomly parts of rehearsal for a Grease the musical, Mother casually sat in the corner nervously as Monty stared at him with a smug grin* Mother: *whispering* “I should not have shown you that—“

Monty: “You really shouldn’t have. I’m glad you did.”

I have given in to the theorizing and decided to actually find some proof of Le Fantôme being related to Mother. It's going to be a kinda long one since I tend to ramble when I talk about my theories

Anyways so

But from what I know from genetics, and the fact that Le Fantôme is described as a man, they could've been fraternal twins and she just ended up with blonde hair. It isn't impossible for two people with black hair to have a blonde haired child (my mom's grandma was ki'che yet she had blonde hair and green eyes from her German ancestors way back in the family tree). As long as the parents carry the gene for it, it is possible.

Le Fantôme and Mother might be related

(key word: might)

First and foremost, the Renoir painting mentioned in the first book. It is mentioned that it reminds Le Fantôme of his late twin sister. Although it is mentioned that Mother is the only child of only children, due to the fact his father left it could be that he never found out much regarding his father's past. Do take this with a grain of salt though, all I'm saying is that they possibly could be related in some way. Not necessarily father-son. What little we do know of Mother's appearance is that 1. He has black hair and 2. He has burn scars. The black hair complicates things as in the Renoir paintings that match the description of the one referenced in the first book, the young girl has blonde hair.

Both Mother and Le Fantôme have some form of interest in art. This is almost entirely coincidental but it also isn't uncommon for people who are related to have similar interests even if they have never met. My sister has a similar, almost identical signature to my maternal grandfather, and I have the same interests in most of the arts he practiced (like writing). Mother mentioned (although probably to make it easier for the mission to go well lol) that he likes Renoir's works, and it has been mentioned before that Le Fantôme specifically chose his main residence because it once belonged to Renoir. They both enjoy similar styles of art, ones put into the same category.

Another thing they share is some form of relation to theatre. Fuck yeah theatre. Mother grew up as a literal theatre kid, plays and musicals and stuff. Literally being cast in multiple main roles (I think, I haven't watched the ones that he mentioned he acted in)

Do you know what is by far one of the most iconic musicals? The one of which has had so many parodies and references about it, even the Thea Stilton books has one? The one where Monster High made a character who was the daughter of the namesake?.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

LE FANTÔME, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA??? PHANTOM IS ANOTHER WORD FOR GHOST!!!! AND THAT IS THE PART MOST CENTERED!!!!

So it's either 1. Le Fantôme is Mother's father 2. Le Fantôme is Mother's long lost sibling, perhaps from his absent father's side or 3. They are otherwise related in a different way.

But that's just a theory... A BOOK THE– *explodes*

I'm SO glad I managed to finally write this omg I rarely ever write down my theories lol

Is this just me comparing them? Maybe.

Is this just another way of sharing my family stuff? Yes

Someone should hire me to write articles /j (unless... 👀)

If you could visit any planet for one day, completely safely, which one would you visit and why?

-Your eldest son, Paris

“Paris? Wow are all of my kids going to snoop around my conversa— Okay, y’know what I’m going to just answer.”

*He thought for a bit, a small humming noise. Probably humming a song from a musical*

“Uhh, I personally, would go to Uranus. It doesn’t have a solid surface and is known as a planet that can’t be explored as a metal spacecraft would be destroyed by the pressure in its atmosphere. I would like to go there, too see how it is.”

*stares* Monty comforting mother fr?…

Mother getting home and the kids aren’t around, having a panic attack by himself because he fell asleep and had a nightmare as soon as he got home, He was alone in the house too, Monty went out briefly to get groceries and when she came back…she was confused as to why she didn’t find him…she walked toward his room opening the door and finding him softly sobbing to himself in a panicked state, a few minutes later Mother is laying softly on top of monty in his bed while she whispers these words softly, playing with his hair… as his crying dies down and they both go to sleep peacefully like 10 minutes later..

(Bonus points of one or all of kids walk into them cuddling)

“you don’t have to worry about anything right now.”

“shh, shh, i’ve got you. you’re safe here.”

“i know it was scary.”

“i know it hurts.”

“you’re all done hurting. there’s no more pain.”

“just focus on resting, okay?”

“i’m getting you out of here.”

“i’m taking you home. we’re going home.”

“you’re safe in my arms. the hard part is over.”

I finished the first temeraire book yesterday (on the plane lol. Happy new school year here’s your new interest you don’t have time to engage with now) and now I am deeply stuck on the parallels between the relationship between Laurence and Temeraire (that series), the relationship between Mensah and Murderbot (murderbot diaries), and the relationship between Monty and Mother (city spies).

When I get my books back from storage/the media mail box coming in two weeks I want to come back and back this idea up with quotes but for now I’m just going to say they have very similar vibes and I really like the way all of the relationships are treated as a deeply important, if not the most important, relationship in the characters’ lives while remaining non-romantic

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: City Spies Series - James Ponti Rating: General Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Alexandra "Monty" Montgomery & Mother Characters: Mother (City Spies), Alexandra "Monty" Montgomery Summary:

Mother was fairly exhausted from the last mission, getting kidnapped and everything. After a long talk with Monty, they sat on the couch in the little “house” as Mother called it (really just the little room by the air strip) It was dark and late at night, the stars shining as Mother rested his head on her shoulder. “I’ll just lay here for a while..”

I have written over 3k words in two hours and now I’ve hit a road block.

The entire point of the fic is “I don’t believe that I have use but the people around me show me that I do and that I should be proud of what I can do and not worry about what I can’t.” But as I am writing, I realize that he actually has no use that I can think of 😭

I dunno…that’s something I’m thinking about with Monty being undercover at umbra…And then they capture mother and since for some reason they trust in Monty (bonus if they know she’s M16 and are just acting to trust her while they wanted to like scare her, causing this to happen) They put her in charge of the ‘prisoner’ aka Mother…So they just stare at eachother, Monty a weapon in one hand…another looks up, almost sympathetic…

“Do it…”

He mumbled, staring….Monty sighed shakily,,, raising her hand with the weapon and…

you get the picture.

(If I do write a fic about this I will make a bonus chapter for funsies, in need daily dose of fluff pls.)

Bonus: Once Monty actually managed to get actual information from Umbra she left, disappeared so they don’t know (she used a cover name DW) And when she back…When she sees Mother who just down plays it off…she knew how bad she actually hurt him…so the kids are at school right now…when she arrived and saw him…she just ran holding him, sobbing quietly about how sorry she is, Mothers just comforting her

“it’s alright, I’m fine…”

“YOU’RE NOT!”

Monty shouted…sobbing…it took a bit but Mother opened up…She knew his injuries were still there…

Eventually they were in the kitchen as she patched him, still very guilty…he just mumbled over and over how “it’s fine..” he doesn’t want her guilty, it was just for the mission…he knows how much she cares for him ever since they met. So he’ll let her forgive herself in her own time.

ohhh we love a good “forced to torture your friend while undercover as a bad guy” don’t we

like. when you meet their eyes and you both know you have to do it and you have to do it well

[zan233]

How much did Mother tell Monty about Clementine? Because whenever they talk about her, Monty seems like she doesn’t know things that I would think Mother really ought to have told her, like that she and Clementine both did the same exchange program with the CIA. Why did Mother and Monty never talk about any of this?
