In the beast's den

(Karl Heisenberg x gn!reader)

Chapter three: don't anger the beast

Did you make the right choice? 

Was this man 'Heisenberg' really trustworthy? What are his plans? 

Why did he want you?

Those questions race through your tired and paranoid mind; still following him to wherever his steps took you.

From glancing around; it was easy to tell that you were still inside the barn-portion of this…place.

Heisenberg leads you to a large metal door; a golden horse-crest decorating it's frame.

"This right here… are my personal quarters. Count y'self lucky for being allowed inside" 

He grumbles, a heavy looking key floating through the air to unlock said door. As the heavy door budges open with a loud squeak; the insides of his personal quarters are revealed.

Despite his rough exterior, the messy environment, the old rusty building-

It looked… nice

There's a fireplace illuminating the large room; kitchen counters and a mini-fridge next to an old stove; a king-size bed with green sheets; a brown leather sofa in front of a small coffee table; many cabinets and shelves filled with boxes, liquor and cans; a large wooden closet and a door, presumably leading to the bathroom.

You take careful steps inside; admiring the surprisingly neat room. Heisenberg followed close behind, hanging his large duster-coat on a rack as the large door shut with a loud thud.

The older man seems to catch on to your awe-filled expression; letting out a loud chuckle he speaks in a relaxed tone: 

"Y'like what you see? Didn't expect this huh? Factory-working pricks like me have standards too buttercup" 

Factory working? 

He hasn't mentioned anything about a factory. The building from the outside looks like a barn with large chimneys in the back-

"Factory?" 

He smirks, taking a seat on the leather couch; kicking back and resting his feet on the coffee table as he opens a bottle of beer with his teeth.

"Factory mhmm. Underground, sweet-cheeks" 

Oh, that makes sense. However now questions start to arise again. Why is it underground? 

What is it for?

Heisenberg pats the sofa, motioning for you to take a seat. Begrudgingly, you take a seat on the couch next to him; also placing your feet on the coffee table. 

You two sit in silence for a few moments, when he hands you the bottle of beer. It was some Romanian brand you aren't familiar with.

"Isn't my favourite, but that's all y'can get in this shit hole village. I'd prefer a Schwarzbacher or Erdinger- but fuck it, right?" 

You had little-to-no clue about any of the brands he mentioned; though they seemed German?

"Are those… German?"

The question was quiet, muffled by the bottle of beer you were sharing with this… stranger.

"Ganz richtig (you're right), buttercup" 

He replies with his signature 'Cheshire cat grin'.

The beer you tried tastes old; not wanting to know how long this bottle stood around for, you hand it back to him with a forced smile. But if course, he was observant, he could tell. 

Expecting a bit of bickering; you were surprised when he pats your shoulder and takes the bottle back. 

"I don't like it either kid"

He finishes the bottle within seconds; tossing it in the trashcan a few feet away with a satisfied groan.

"For not liking it, you drank that pretty quickly…"

He glances at you with a raised eyebrow, and you silently pray that you didn't piss off 'the beast'.

For a few moments, there's deafening silence.

Until he his booming laughter fills the room.

"Ah ah kid, should've seen the look on y'er pretty little face! Absolutely delicious!" 

Your shoulders sink; adrenaline racing as you slowly calm down from that initial fear and worry. The laughing lords stands; walking over to the small wooden desk. The metal folding chair pulling back without him even touching it, allowing him to take a seat.

"h- how did you do that?" 

Curiosity once again got the better of you, you couldn't help but ask how he does something humanly impossible!

Instead of responding instantly; he flicks his wrist, a fork surging through the air and landing in his awaiting palm.

"Controlling magnetic fields is unique, yes?" 

"How- how can you do that? How did you get your… your superpowers?" 

You looked like a kid seeing a real superhero, though this man wouldn't and shouldn't qualify as a hero. Not in society's eyes anyway. 

After asking this question, the room's atmosphere darkened… it seemed thick, suffocating, dreadful.

"That is none of your business, kid. Just- sleep and stop asking so many damn questions. Understood?" 

Shit, now he truly seemed pissed. 

It seems like his past is something he doesn't want to discuss, under any circumstances. 

Left with no other options, you lay down on the couch; using your arms as a makeshift pillow whilst Heisenberg sits at his desk.

A few hours pass, your quiet snores and breathing filling the otherwise quiet room. Heisenberg writes in a small journal at his desk, cigar hanging from his scarred lips when he briefly turns to look at your sleeping form.

With heavy eyes and a quiet voice, he speaks: 

"Sleep well kid, were having one-hell of a day tomorrow"

Bei der Johannes-Diakonie wurde viel geschafft

Bei der Johannes-Diakonie wurde viel geschafft Ein SAP-Team feiert beim Einsatz in der Schwarzbach Schule seine 10-jährige Verbundenheit mit der Johannes-Diakonie. (Foto: Tanja Bauer) Drei SAP-Teams waren im Einsatz Mosbach/Schwarzach. Die Aktion „Wir schaffen was!“ der Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar (MRN) hat auch in diesem Jahr wieder Hunderte von Freiwilligen mobilisiert. Zur Johannes-Diakonie kamen gleich drei Teams vom Softwarekonzern SAP. Sie zeigten gesellschaftliches Engagement und unterstützten tatkräftig die Arbeit für Menschen mit Behinderung. Dass sich die SAP-Freiwilligen bei der Johannes-Diakonie engagierten, war kein Zufall, sind sie doch teils seit Jahren regelmäßig zu Gast, wie Ehrenamtskoordinatorin Tanja Bauer anerkennend feststellte. In den markanten blauen T-Shirts der MRN-Freiwilligenaktion machte sich ein Team unter Leitung von Mathias Röher in Schwarzach an die Arbeit. Stalltüren, Outdoor-Küche und Klettergerüst auf der dortigen Jugendfarm bekamen einen neuen Anstrich, und der ehemalige Schweinestall wurde in einen Hühnerstall umgebaut. Am Naturkindergarten wurden unter anderem eine Matschküche und ein Hüpfparcours gebaut, ein Gartenhaus renoviert sowie ein Piratensegel und eine Kindergarten-Uhr errichtet.

Klassenzimmer wurden erneuert und eine Gartenhütte restauriert. Es war ein besonderer Einsatz, denn seit genau zehn Jahren sind die SAP-Helferinnen und -Helfer unter Leitung von Igor Prokofiev und Yongbin He der Johannes-Diakonie treu und kommen regelmäßig zu Einsätzen vorbei. Bereits am Tag zuvor hatten SAP-Mitarbeitende bei der Johannes-Diakonie in Mosbach angepackt. Teamkoordinator Andreas Bloess mit fünf Freiwilligen seines Teams war mit Johannes-Diakonie-Mitarbeitenden und ehrenamtlichen Helfern für deren Wohnzentrum am Panoramaweg im Einsatz. Alle zusammen pflegten sie die benachbarte Blockhütte samt Backhaus, ein beliebter Freizeitort für Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner der Johannes-Diakonie. Sitzelemente wurden frisch gestrichen und umfangreiche Gartenarbeiten vorgenommen. Bei so viel harter Arbeit waren frische Pizzen, gebacken von den Ehrenamtlichen, eine willkommene Stärkung. Es waren für die SAP-Mitarbeitenden lange, anstrengende Tage, die aber neben Arbeit auch viel Spaß und Freude bereiteten. Zugleich bekamen die Freiwilligen einen Einblick in die Arbeit der Johannes-Diakonie. „Dieser Blick über den Tellerrand bedeutet uns sehr viel“, sagte einer der Teilnehmer, die schon bald wieder zu Gast bei der Johannes-Diakonie sein dürften – zum nächsten Freiwilligeneinsatz. Eine Blockhütte auf dem Standortgelände der Johannes-Diakonie war Einsatzort eines SAP-Freiwilligenteams. (Foto: Tanja Bauer) Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

Sugar Cane Plantations on Negros von Hartmut Schwarzbach Über Flickr: Negros Island is the center of the sugar industry in the Philippines. The 13 sugar mills produce 54% of the country's crop. Arab traders brought sugar cane cuttings to the archipelago before colonization. The estimated 700,000 harvest workers and employees are among the poorest and lowest paid workers. Many come as so-called Sakadas Migrant Workers/harvest helpers from even poorer provinces on the neighboring islands. Since they are paid according to the Pakyaw system depending on the amount of harvest, they do not even reach the legal minimum wage for agriculture. The slave-like employment has hardly improved in the last few decades. Child labor is also still widespread, especially when cultivating new fields with seedlings, as this activity is technically very simple. Many children spend hours of the day hunched over and hunched over, skipping school. The children of plantation workers have no chance of escaping the vicious circle of dependency. There is a lack of financial resources for training and the political will of those responsible to change the situation. Their working life as field workers begins between the ages of twelve and fourteen. The sugar industry is now one of the pioneers of alternative and renewable energy sources, which include biofuels through the production of bioethanol and combined heat and power. Since the world market price of sugar is very volatile and has fallen from time to time, there have been social tensions and violent uprisings among harvest workers in the past. The sugar industry and its plantation owners also played an important role during the EDSA Revolution in 1986.

About my work: April 24, 2024 is the 162nd birthday of the Japanese botanist Makino Tomitarō. In 1903, he first described Petrosavia sakuraii, a rare, leafless, chlorophyll-free, myco-heterotrophic plant found in dark mountain rainforests widespread in East and Southeast Asia. Like a pale ghost swinging in the wind. Inspired by his botanical illustrations of Petrosavia sakuraii, I dedicated my drawing to Makino Tomitarō.

Heizöl läuft in den Schwarzbach

Heizöl läuft in den Schwarzbach Der Trinkwasser-Tiefbrunnen "Schwarzacher Hof" wurde abgeschaltet. (Symbolbild - Pixabay) Oberschwarzach. (pm) In Oberschwarzach kam es heute aufgrund eines Lecks in einem Heizöltank eines Wohnhauses zu einem Ölunfall. Da das Gebäude direkt an dem Schwarzbach liegt, sind mehrere hundert Liter Heizöl in den Bach gelangt. Die örtlichen Feuerwehren aus Mosbach, Schwarzach, Aglasterhausen sowie das THW Neunkirchen und Leonberg haben vor Ort die notwendigen Maßnahmen vorgenommen und mit Sperren das Ausbreiten des Heizöls im weiteren Bachlauf verhindert. Das auf dem Gewässer schwimmende Heizöl konnte bereits abgesaugt werden. Aktuell kümmern sich die Einsatzkräfte um die Reinigung des Uferbereichs. Die Auswirkungen des Ölunfalls auf die Gewässerökologie sind derzeit noch nicht absehbar. Die untere Wasserbehörde sowie das Gesundheitsamt des Neckar-Odenwald-Kreises haben prophylaktisch die Abschaltung des Tiefbrunnens „Schwarzacher Hof“ in Schwarzach veranlasst. Durch redundante Versorgungsstrukturen im Trinkwassernetz war eine Umschaltung unproblematisch und die Trinkwasserversorgung ist gewährleistet. Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel
