I could have showed you all the scars at the start, but that was always the most difficult part. See, I'm in love with how your soul's a mix of chaos and art and how you never try to keep them apart.

Dermot Kennedy - Outnumbered

[pratchettquotes]

Cohen looked at the forest of lances and pennants. Hundreds of thousands of men looked like quite a lot of men when you saw them close to.

"I suppose," he said slowly, "that none of you has got some amazing plan you've been keeping quiet about?"

"We thought you had one," said Truckle.

Prompt 2

“Please tell me you have an absolutely show-stopping, last minute, brilliant back up plan that your about to pull out of your pocket.” Villain’s Sidekick pleas.

Almost the entirety of the Hero League is charging at them, weapons ready to slice their two defenceless opponents. 

“yea… RUN!!!!!”

Oddly specific scenario idea: Caretaker and Robot whumpee are outnumbered in a fight. Whumpee is bearing the brunt of the attacks because they're physically stronger but they eventually go down, mangled and barely concious. Caretaker ends up having to use one of Whumpee's detached, still sparking limbs as a weapon.

Oooh! Number 10 for the Maximoff Family. I headcanon wanda as suffering from nightmares often so one of the boys coming to wake up her and Vizh because they had a scary dream is 🥺🥺🥺

You got it! Also posted to AO3 if that's more your thang.

Outnumber Chapter 16: Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

The scream was blood curdling. The kind of scream no parent ever wants to hear from their child. 

“Billy!” Wanda blurted out, her eyes still closed. 

She and Vision sprung from their bed, a bleary eyed Wanda searching for her clothing on the floor as Vision easily phased into a pair of pajama pants. 

“Probably quicker,” he shrugged, speed walking out of the room. 

Wanda mimicked Vision’s actions, phasing into her pajamas rather than trying to pick them up off the floor. She padded out of the room, catching up to Vision as he burst through the twins’ bedroom door and went straight to Billy. 

Wanda made a bee-line for Tommy, the small boy lay in bed with the covers pulled up to his chin, clearly scared by his twins’ screams. 

“There’s…. There’s something in the walls,” Billy stammered, grabbing onto Vision with an iron grasp. 

“Is he ok?” Tommy whispered, his eyes darting from Billy to Wanda. 

“It was just a dream, son,” Vision said, loud enough for Tommy to hear, too. “I promise you, there’s nothing in the walls.” 

“But I heard it, daddy! I heard it,” Billy argued, tightening his grip around Vision’s body and whispering one last time, ”I heard it.”

“Dreams can be very vivid and feel very real,” Vision explained. “Let’s listen now.”

Wanda pressed a kiss to Tommy’s head and repeated the same with Billy. 

“Listen with daddy, boys. I’m going to check on Florence,” she said, slipping out of the room. 

As quietly as she could, Wanda opened the door to Florence’s room. The toddler was quiet and Wanda expected her to be asleep but there she stood in her crib, tears glistening in her eyes, her bottom lip jutted out. 

Once Florence saw Wanda her tears fell in earnest, a small wail escaping her lips. 

“Oh, Baby Bug!” Wanda cooed, plucking the little girl from her crib and holding her tightly. “I’ve got you.”

Twenty minutes later, all three children were settled down and back in bed. 

Or so they thought. 

It was quiet in Wanda and Vision’s room. Neither of them were asleep when they heard the slow creaking of the bedroom door and little feet pitter patter across the carpet. 

There stood Billy, holding tightly to his favorite blanket as he stared at Wanda. 

“There’s something in the walls,” he insisted. 

“Buddy,” Wanda said, exasperated. “Come here.” 

Billy crawled into Wanda and Vision’s bed, settled in between the couple and nestled himself under the comforter. 

The room grew quiet once more, the three of them just settling into a restful sleep when the door creaked again and this time, Tommy came plodding into the room. 

“Where’s Billy?” he asked, his voice thick with sleep. 

Wanda knew he’d be following. The twins never slept apart. She patted the mattress, moving her legs to let Tommy crawl into the bed, too. 

Vision moved the covers over to let his son slip under them, bringing them back up over him after he was comfortable. 

It was mere minutes before the silence was interrupted again. This time it was Vision speaking that broke through the quiet. 

“Florence is all alone,” he said sadly. 

Wanda sighed. 

“Go get her,” she said through a smile. 

Vision left the room quickly, returning with a smiling Florence in his arms. 

“Our little missing piece,” Vision said, slipping into bed. 

There was no room for Florence to lay down in the bed, so instead she laid on Vision’s chest. She fell asleep quickly, content and with a hint of a smile on her face. 

The boys followed soon after, their breathing becoming slow and even and finally, Wanda and Vision were able to relax. 

The family of four slept contently together, no room in the bed for anything else as twin boys flailed and tossed themselves around during sleep and one little girl lay happily on her dad’s chest, out like a light. 

And the best part? No nightmares.
