[retro-aesthe]

“Alex!”

(This idea had been hunting me since forever. I was inspired by the “dragon/tiger face mask” I saw while I was walking along the beauty section of a store... and i thought OH MY GOD WHAT IF ALEX—?! aaaand finally, I was able to put it into words haha)

Alex Danvers x fem!reader

Alex Danvers doesn’t make an effort about skin care.

Two years and three months ago, when she bumped on you (yes, she—not you) in front of a coffee shop, you had been in love with Alex ever since. Well, not in love-in love, just... attracted since you don’t really believe in love at first sight. It is just pure crap the capitalist society put up to romanticize love even more.

Now, you’ve been each other’s girlfriend for over a year, and had been living together for about two months now. Living with Alex seems to be an entirely weird yet exciting thing for you. You’ve never reached this far in a relationship. You’ve always liked living alone, you even moved out of your parents the minute you turned 18—well, there’s really no difference since you’ve been practically raising yourself since 14 years old.

Before, you were used to going home to an empty apartment. Now, during those days when Alex had Supergirl cases and had to stay in the DEO longer than usual, going home to an empty apartment makes you feel incredibly alone and sad. A part of you panics whenever you feel like that, since it shows how you’ve become very much dependent on others.

Alex says there’s nothing wrong in needing others. And you—somehow—believe her.

It’s Tuesday night. Alex called you during lunch time, saying she’ll be going home late. Instinctively, you pouted. Thank the cosmos you were in your car when that happened.

You opened the door of the apartment. You didn’t even notice that the door was unlocked. The meeting Lena forced you to attend with her drained the living daylights out of you. Those incredibly hetero-patriarchal crocodiles Lena calls the company’s stockholders are just life suckers. Whenever one of the suited un-gentlemen opens their mouth, a new wave of headache resonates throughout your body, making you struggle to repress a whimper of pain. It makes you wonder, are they even aware they were talking?

You closed the door behind you, another hand going to your forehead. You can’t wait to lie down and just sleep it off. For some, it may be unhealthy, but drinking painkillers was always your last resort. You were raised to believe that ointments, eucalyptus/menthol inhalers, and lots of water cure headache. You don’t need painkillers poisoning your blood just so you could have a few moments of relief from the pain. It was one thing you and Alex always argue about—her being a huge believer of medicines and all that.

“Y/n.” You immediately looked up. The moment you did, you screamed.

Alex took a step back. You were just looking at her, with big eyes, taking in her appearance.

You didn’t expect Alex to be here so early—which was a part of why you screamed. The bigger part was because of Alex’s face.

You didn’t exactly see her face. It was covered with face mask.

An otter designed face mask.

Alex’s whole body was stunned, probably because she didn’t expect you to react that way.

Since when does she wear face mask?

An otter designed one at that?

After a few seconds of staring, you snorted then started laughing. Your headache was gone by now, (Take that factory-produced medicines! Take that Alex!) and you can’t take your eyes off your girlfriend. Your heart was turning into mush with how cute she looks, especially when her stunned eyes were the only part of her face visible from the mask. There were cuts on the face masks that enables it to adjust—along the nose and on the mouth.

Alex makes a really really cute otter.

You feel your heart getting big, with how adorable your girlfriend looks. You did always tease her that she would make a really cute otter, especially when she’s angry. She just huffs and pouts whenever you tease her, which just proves your point even more. Even though she’s a badass black ops agent, whenever you’re around (and this just makes you want to hold your girlfriend forever and not let her go), Special Agent Alexandra Danvers turns into a domestic otter that just clings to your arms the entire time.

“Stop laughing!” You heard Alex exclaim. You’re in the middle of hard laughing, one where you’re just gasping for air mid-laugh. You shook your head, pulled out your phone, and took a picture of your otter girlfriend.

“You look so cute!” you squealed, then proceeded on making the picture of a frowning otter Alex your wallpaper.

“Delete that, Y/n!” Alex shouted. You looked at her, still smiling widely, and raised both of your eyebrows, indicating how you wouldn’t. You finally walked further to the apartment and fell into step beside your girlfriend.

“Smile for the cam!” you said, then took a picture of the both of you. “Oh, this is gonna be on Superfriends group chat!!!” you said, slightly jumping in your place.

“NO!” Alex made a move to grab your phone. You held it away, facing her, and stared at her sternly.

“Hey! Stop making big moves, your mask might fall off,” you said sternly. That made Alex freeze. She slightly tilted her head, and rearranged the wet mask on her face. “Bad otter.” You can’t help but tease her. Alex looked at you and glared. You’ve been constantly nagging her to try face masks, because it makes a good stress reliever and just rejuvenates the skin. Not that you were implying that Alex was looking ragged down... well, that was certainly what you were implying. She needs the mask desperately—though, she’s not any less beautiful even if she doesn’t use one.

“I am never wearing face masks. Ever. Again. I hate you for nagging me to wear one.” Her grumpy voice and slightly frowning face cannot be taken seriously because the otter mask was still there. You suppressed the laughter bubbling out of you and went to hug her from the back, since she was walking away. You rested your chin on her shoulder and just hugged her tightly.

“But... otter...” you pouted. Alex just huffed. Then, placed both of her arms and hands over yours. It was supposedly a sweet gesture, but it was too late when you realized it was tighter than normal—holding you in place. She leaned back slightly, then placed her cheek on yours, making you gasp in surprise. The slimy substance from the mask rubbed on your face. Before you can say anything else, she was peppering the left side of your face with kisses, further spreading the slimy substance of the face mask to your face. The slimy substance was the one thing you hate from face masks.

She slightly shifted, and then a hand was placed on your right cheek, preventing you from moving away.

All you can do was let out a strangled cry.

“Alex!”

To Love, Or To Kill?

Bucky Barnes x Reader (1/?) AU

Anon - Can you write one where Bucky and the reader were dating but they got in a huge argument and are ignoring each other so when they go on a mission together Nat has to go too so they don't fight too much. But when something goes wrong Bucky has to decide on which one to save. The reader, the one he loved, or Nat, the woman who helped him escape. And out of loyalty he chooses Nat and the reader lives somehow and they go mute because the one they loved didn't choose them... angst and drama plz

A/N So I combined this idea with a soulmate AU that was brought up to me by the wonderful @hollycornish so, since this was a request that people anticipated and the soulmate AU intrigued me, I combined both and created a series! Special love for the wonderful @littlemissacorn and @buchananbarnestrash for helping me out! 

Italics are flashbacks

Warnings - swearing, violence, thats it?

 “We don’t need a babysitter to go on a mission, Natasha.” You snapped, pulling on your gloves as the both of you rushed to the jet. “Looking at the way you two are ignoring each other, I think I do.” She answered back as she smirked when you replied with nothing but an eye roll. “I’m surprised you two are still refusing to talk to each other, one minute you’re going at it like rabbits and being ‘goals’ as I hear kids say, and now you can’t even keep eye contact.” She thought out loud as the both of you got onto the jet, Natasha took the seat beside Bucky as you took a seat on the opposite side, and the opposite end, not wanting to look at his stupid face as you flew to your next mission, or as you hoped, your death.

 As the journey was underway, you glanced down to your wrists; how stupid was it that your soulmate was on one wrist, and your enemy, the one you will have to fight and/or kill in the future, on the other? And who’s idea was it to not tell you which one was which? If it was a god who cursed us with this, what the fuck is wrong with them?

 You looked back up to see James and Natasha in conversation, laughing too - much to your dismay. “Maybe… Maybe he’s the one I’m going to have to-“ “We’re here.” Natasha spoke up, stopping your thoughts and giving you a soft smile as you nodded and unfastened yourself from your seat, checking your weapons were on you as you stood up and that the timer on your watch was right.

 “You ready?” Steve stood up from the pilot seat, walking to you and putting a warm hand on your shoulder “You alright?” he asked, clearly concerned, this was your first mission with Bucky since the argument, which happened months ago, but it felt like only yesterday that the both of you were at each other’s throats; you scoffed, shaking your head in somewhat amusement as you pulled your sleeves down and gloves up to cover up the names that were permanently scarred into your skin, hoping that would fade your constant train of thought. “Am I alright?” You almost laughed, looking up to Steve’s height. “Do you want an honest answer or the answer you would prefer to hear?” You raised an eyebrow, shrugging his hand off your shoulder “Well-“ “Exactly.” You cut him off, walking past Natasha and Bucky, ignoring their existences before jumping from the jet opening to the roof of the building you had to seize.

 "Scanner gives an approximate 98 men in the building.” You spoke monotone, sneaking past some guards before jumping and swinging up into an open vent. “How many floors has this place got again?” “12” Natasha answered Bucky’s stupid question; does he not read the brief? “Not a lot of people for a small building.” He speaks through the comms again, “If he doesn’t shut up in a second I’m gonna-“ “James, James, James…” You hear, freezing in your spot as you continued to listen. “My men implanted bombs on each floor of this building, your now… ex-girlfriend is it? Is in a vent at the bottom floor, silly girl, and your new lover on the top floor, attempting to take out all of my men…” The man chuckled.

 A loud clang echoed in the vent, your eyes widening as you turned to look behind you, seeing the vent you climbed through being locked shut and something sticking up from beneath. You gasped as you hear a bloodcurdling scream follow a large snapping noise from your comms, the scream most definitely coming from Natasha.

 The laugh erupted again. “My men will expose your ex-lady to a lethal gas, and will inject your new toy with a lethal venom. You have 3 minutes to save one and escape before the building goes… POOF.” You could hear the grin through his words.

 You pulled your shirt up to cover your mouth and nose, the fabric would give you a minimum of a minute or less to survive when the gas fills the whole vent and replaces the oxygen; you began to panic, moving faster and looking at your wrist to see if you could find an exit before you were going to suffocate.

 “Your three minutes start now…” The man chuckled. “NO! I WILL NOT CHOOSE.” Bucky shouted, shooting his gun at him but missing, which was not like himself.

 “I-I-I-I….” He stuttered, who would he save? The woman who helped him through everything, who saved him before he had met you, the woman who practically saved him from his other self, who’s name is scarred on his wrist from birth, who loved him…

 “I’m so sorry…” He whispered, beginning to run.

 “He’s gone to save her…” you whispered, wondering whether you should laugh or cry; your body began to feel numb in seconds, you didn’t want to move, you didn’t want to feel, maybe death was the better way out. “I’m so sorry Y/N… I…I….” “I don’t want to hear it.” You spat, seeing the red gas make itself more apparent in the vent you were stuck inside.

 You closed your eyes, ready for your fate to come.

 “Not on my watch.” You heard Steve shout, breaking the vent from beneath you as you fell through the hole into his arms. “I can’t believe he chose-“ “We have one minute left Steve, you might survive, I won’t… just… Leave me here…” You whispered, feeling the gas get to your lungs despite your efforts to stop it. “Not gonna happen dollface.” Steve gave you a soft smile before running to the roof.

 As he ran all you could think was of the names on your wrists, were you wrong? If Buc-James. If James was your soulmate, he would’ve saved you, he would’ve – no, SHOULD’VE, chose you over… over… Her…

 You rubbed your thumb over your wrists, wanting to rid of those goddamn names that seemed to have made the storyline of your life, and ruined it too. “30 seconds…” you heard Steve whisper, you looked up at him, noticing that he had reached the roof. “Nice knowing ya I gue-“ “Nope, you’re gonna hold onto me okay? You’re gonna live. You’re gonna be happy without him-“ “But-“ “No buts Y/N- 15 seconds” he huffed, turning to face the edge of the building. “Steve-“ “Trust me dollface” He smiled, hugging you closer to his body before breaking off into a sprint “Steve!” Your eyes widened, looking up at him as he ignored you completely; “STEVE!” You screamed as he leaped off the edge, the building bursting into flames behind you, the blast pushing you both further away, setting you to land somewhere else, somewhere- well, not very comfortable.

 The building was almost to ashes, Bucky and Natasha stood far from the scene but close enough to see the carnage. “Why did you choose me?” Natasha asked, sighing as a cure was injected to her bloodstream. “I… Owe you a lot Nat, I thought she would’ve got out-“ “You were questioning the Soulmate and the enemy names weren’t you?” She asked, giving a sympathetic smile as she saw Bucky nod slowly, but not surely.

 “You chose me over them both James… Steve and Y/N…  I thank you for that, I owe you everything, my life…” She whispered, making her way towards him. “I know…” He choked out, a tear falling from his eye as he watched the building crumble to ashes.

 You coughed, noticing that you were laid atop of Steve, his arms still firmly wrapped around you. “You okay?” He spoke up, voice hoarse. “More than okay… Thank you Steve…” You smiled, this being your first smile in months. “But…” You trailed off, moving to get off of him and standing as he too sat up to look at you; his eyes stared at you with what looked like curiosity and… fear? “But?” He asked, wanting you to continue.

 You sigh; “There’s something I need to tell you…”

 The storm was raging and the thunder clapping, echoing in the ears of the fighters below as the rain plummeted down onto the scene; their faces were drenched and red, hair plastered onto their faces as they landed hit after hit - knuckles bleeding as well as their wounds.

They clashed together, knives at each other’s throats as they grasp the others collar in rage, breaths quick paced and visible in the cold air; “You destroyed mine and my family’s life… Now I destroy you.”

So here it is! The start of 1/2 series that I have been preparing! Hope you guys like it, I don't know how many parts this will have but- idk haha! Part one of my other series will be posted tomorrow! It will be a Jason x Reader series :)

It's Alright Now - Dick Grayson/Nightwing x Reader

||A/N: I got this idea from of course RE5 but I’ll switch it up slightly, in this your the current BatGirl and have been missing for a few months, your the girlfriend of Dick(Nightwing) And he has been searching for you in the months of your disappearance...with no luck yet he goes on patrols (Still searches for you even after the bad guys are dealt with) but still uses the time he spends at home to search for you. When they (Batman, Robin and him) finally find Joker and Harley the notice someone else is with them.||

Dick was torn on the fact he couldn't find out just where you were, one mission was all it took. At that moment he was rather pleased that you and he were able to team up for once after a while.

Currently then you were Batgirl and you two worked rather well together but when things got rough between Bruce and Dick...well let's just say your boy wonder decided it was time that he protected Bloodhaven while you went back and fourth whenever you were needed.

And on the last day he saw you? It seemed like you two were set up on a trap, Joker and Harley were at it again and since Batman at the time was in no show due to Scarecrow you two decided to take them on...little fight between them wouldn't hurt right?

Wrong...apparently Joker and Harley had other plans for you, it was bad enough that Joker took Jason from the Batfamily but now he set his sights on you.

Dick  remembered the day you were taken so clearly...

**Flash Back**

It was a rainy night in Gotham that when you and Nightwing arrived you were soaked to the bone. Course a little rain didn't hurt the two young hero's, you were on one side of the building while Nightwing was on the other.

"Alright, Batgirl. I'm in position..what about you?" Nightwing asked over the com. "Just arrived, we should be good to take them on now. But let's not underestimate these two...their wakyer then ever but as always this dumb-ass clown always has a trick up his sleeve." You sighed. "Noted, we fight together." Nightwing replied. "Yeah, after this we should totally order take out." You commented. "I'll buy, babe." Nightwing chuckled. "Kind of hoping you would Dickiebird." You laughed.

After that you both stormed in and as usual the fights went on, and as you knew they didn't have something hidden...something hidden very well. One of Jokers thugs had hit you over the head with a beer bottle knocking you out completely.

"Batgirl!" Nightwing shouted. "Haha you fell for it!" Joker shouted.

'Damn this was all a set up! (Y/N) where is she now?' Dick thought.

But before he could look Harley's bat hit him on the head, and since he was out cold he didn't see the fact you were carried away. Only time that he did realize was when he woke up to Alfred's voice asking if he was alright.

But when he looked around for you....you were gone.

And in the hands of Joker himself.

**Flash Back End**

'I failed her and I keep failing her to this day. How the hell did Joker take her and suddenly go off the map again?' Dick thought.

Bruce was searching for you as well thinking you might just end up facing the same fate as Jason, course that thought changed when he showed up months after your disappearance under a new name - Red Hood.

Lots of angry shouts along with bad fights happened between them all but since you were close with Jason at a brother-sister level he didn't want you to face the same fate as he did so he did his own digging.

But came up with nothing, he was still pissed that what was happening with you was so much similar to his past with Joker that he went on a man hunt to get answers.

And man hunt I mean killing off Joker's men one by one...

At the moment Dick was found in the Batcave looking up anyplace for Joker, Harley and their new partner so he could finally put a stop to their horror.

"Joker and Harley are up to no good in an abandoned building, their new partner that currently is unknown as of right now is with them....this isn't gonna be pretty." Nightwing sighed. "Whoever this new partner of there's has training, but their smart they don't leave traces of themselves nor do they leave tracks...it's like they were never there." Tim says. "Well we've tracked them down to that building, let's go finish this once and for all." Bruce explains.

The boys nod their heads and as Bruce goes into the Batmoblie, Dick and Tim use motorcycles to follow.

**Small Time Skip**

Once the three hero's walk in they notice both Joker and Harley, another figure in a cloak and mask was standing behind them. Joker looked at the three with a grin as if he knew they'd be here soon like always.

"This ends tonight, Joker." Batman says. "Oh? And here I thought you three came here for a family reunion." Joker grins, laughing afterwards. "Family Reunion?" Robin asks. "Oh this is too good! These three already forgot about you deary." Joker laughed. "Forgot about who?!" Nightwing asks. "Your dearly beloved...Batgirl!" Joker grins.

Wait what? No! You wouldn't join him! Never! You fought on their side always had and said you always would right up until the end.

Joker looked at Harley with a grin and she sent one back, walking up behind the figure wearing cloak and a hood over their heads Harley took it off then the mask. All three men stood in shock, you still had your mask on minus the bat ears and all but it was still you.

"What did you do to her?" Batman growled. "Oh just a bit of a experiment you know? You see I wanted to know what this lovely girl could take...and by take I mean pain." Joker grin laughing. "Oh her screams were a joy to hear! And what I placed inside her? A little bug that I can control." Joker finished laughing loudly. "Get them." Harley ordered.

Glaring you attacked all three of them, Dick, Bruce and Tim tried their best to snap you out of it but it was no use you didn't listen. But when minutes passed and you had Dick pinned down ready to twist his arm was when you slightly snapped out of it.

"(Y/N), It's me! Dick! Please you have to remember!" Dick groans. "D-Dick..." You muttered.

You groaned and stepped away from them, holding your head as the three got up slowly. Joker frowned and Harley started to lose it. No! Not after all the work they did to make you follow their command you couldn't just go back that easy.

"I guess even more pain has to come to you!" Harley shouted.

Sealing the remote from Joker she turned it up a bit more, you screams were heard in the building as you moved around a bit, Dick tried to hold you in his arms while Tim and Bruce went for Joker and Harley but he realized it was to late that you had lost control once more.

"Damn it..." Dick scoffed.

It took them a while though before you were out cold and Batman was able to find something else to inject you with to where you would be you again.

They had to take you back to the Batcave and strap you down as they pulled out some of your blood that held whatever Joker injected you with - create a cure - then bring you back.

**Two Days Later**

Groaning away you felt the softness of the bed underneath you, opening your (E/C) eyes everything was blurry but after a while it focused in place.

You looked around noticing it was the room that you and Dick shared in your apartment that you both lived in together.

Groaning as your head was still hurting slightly did the memories of what had happened up until now return, oh gosh...you were still aware but couldn't do anything to control your actions. You did such horrible things to people and you didn't have control over yourself.

"What have I done..." You whimpered. "Babe?" Dick asked. "Dick..." You cried.

Frowning he was rather happy you were awake but at the sight of your tears he had a feeling at what you were thinking. You blamed yourself for everything that happened and feared he and the other's thought it was all your fault. But really it wasn't, you had no control over your body and it was Joker and Harley who were at fault.

"I was not in control of my actions but I was still very aware...I'm so sorry, Dick." You apologized, tearfully. "Babe, It's alright now...your home and safe." Dick replies.

Bringing you into his arms carefully he pissed a kiss to your forehead, eyelids, cheeks then your lips. Gosh did it feel so good to have you back home in his arms, speaking to him and more importantly alive.

"I'll never let anything happen to you anymore....I promise." Dick whispered.

And right then and there you knew it was the truth, sure Dick would be a bit overprotective but as of right now you'd accept it due to how things turned out up until now. You were just glad to be where you truly belonged...here at home with Dick, right in his arms.

||A/N: Sorry if it sucks I just wanted to write something about Dick Grayson since all I got are Jason Todd requests. Don’t get me wrong Jason Todd is bae...but I wanted to just write something for Dick for a change....I’ll try to catch up on the requests later today since its like 2am here...and sorry if this sucks again...I still hope you like this!!||
