Never is too late (Alfie Solomons x fem!oc) Part 2.5

Masterlist. Part 1 - Part 2.

Summary: Following his brother's orders, James goes to London to keep an eye on Alfie. There he meets Mrs. Solomons and it's also there where Jared's plans threaten to collapse, because the moment James put his eyes on her, it's when everything becomes more complicated. And Alfie sees the consequences of his own actions, escape from his hands.

Warnings: Some angst. Past bigamous Alfie. || This is an extra chapter. The story is always centered on Tommy, even if he's only mentioned here. But this is necessary to the plot because Alfie is part of Tommy. || I'm not responsible for this. *runs*

Words: 2.3 k|| This follows the events in this story.

James Thorne arrived at London the following week. Oscarwilde, his brother's dog, was with him because the youngest of them, Jay, refused to take care of the very pampered pet. Not when now that the older brothers were in England he was the head of the business there in Dublin.

But as soon as James could see Jared, Oscarwilde was going to return to his real owner.

He fucking hated London. Polluted, overpopulated, noisy and full of thieves. He didn't even live in Dublin, he was in a little town near the sea where he could enjoy the view every morning and take pictures. Having photography as a hobby helped him to see the things under other perspective.

The hotel was luxurious and with people trained to take care of dogs like Oscarwilde. So as soon as Jared could, he left the animal with the young man in charge and went directly to the dirty side of London known as Camden Town.

The things he did for his brother. James always admired his older brother and not even once he judged his choices. With Jared, James learnt not to judge homosexuals. He didn't even remember the first time he appeared with another boy hand in hand. Probably he was around 16, but he wasn't surprised. Jared was always different and not just because his sexuality, he was different.

The bang from the living room that woke him up, almost 15 years ago, was something that it was still with him. It was Jared's birthday and he celebrated blowing up their father's brain. Their mother's screams, Jay that was only 14 looking at the scene not knowing what to do. And him, James, 17 year-old had a maniac smile in his face seeing his father dead. That was his birthday gift… and it wasn't his birthday.

Jared was from that moment on, the king of the Walshs. And he was his right hand. Sometimes Jared was annoying, but James couldn't have asked for a better older brother. Despite the wicked world they chose to live in, the three brothers managed to live a life that could be considered acceptable if it was compared to the Italian gangsters for example.

Rose was in Alfie's office, spending time together, trying to rebuild the relationship. It's been months since Tommy left their home and yet, he was still there like a ghost that couldn't been seen but which presence in the house was evident.

There was a time when Rose went from one side to the other smiling, when she used to bother Alfie with stupid jokes or just dishevelling his hair every time she passed next to him. Now the moments together were just in silence, speaking about the news, job, some rumours but nothing about the playful couple they used to be.

She hated the feeling that Alfie was just with her because she was a woman. Just because she was his wife and he had obligations towards her as man and husband. The feeling that if she'd been a man, too, Alfie couldn't even doubt to go after Tommy and left her there.

But Alfie was with her, saying each night that he loved her but Rose knew that part of his brain was still with Tommy that was miles away from them.

Who was Rose next to Tommy Shelby?

Alfie looked at her writing on his desk while he was on his feet looking for some paperwork. It broke his heart seeing her the way she was now because him, for over anyone else, knew the kind of person she was. Because no matter how many times he said to her that he still loved her, she didn't believe him.

The way she just turned her back to him when he tried to have some intimacy and the lack of affection she had. She always used to search some kind of physical contact with him.

And Alfie couldn't blame her because he was the one who corrupted their vows. And because even months after they broke up, Tommy Shelby was still in his mind and heart and he refused to leave.

"I'm going to send these letters," she said moments later standing up and searching for her coat. "Then I have a meeting with the ILP."

The Independent Labour Party was about to celebrate a new anniversary and its members were organising a party for the occasion at the end of the month and they were preparing everything.

Rose opened her mouth to ask if he wanted to go but closed it again. No, he didn't want to. He hated politics.

"Are ya coming for dinner?"

She nodded. "As always, Alfie." Rose picked up her letters and put her hat on. "See you later."

"I love you, Rosie."

"I know."

James was waiting on the other side of the street. He didn't know what exactly Jared wanted but everything in the bakery seemed to be normal. Workers entering the building, others coming out, carrying sacks of flour or wooden barrels that James knew was part of the real business Solomons had. But apart from some verbal fight, there was nothing unusual.

Then he saw her. Only one woman was always around the bakery and that was the owner of half of that emporium in Camden Town: that was Alfie Solomon's wife. Jared forgot to mention that she was beautiful. Or at least James thought that as soon as he saw her.

Her shoes resounded on the cobblestone streets, she had her bag on her shoulders and her hat covering her well combed hair but the letters she had on her hands flew away when she stumbled. It was an stupid impulse that James had when he crossed the street and went after her.

"Let me help you, ma'am."

"I'm sorry!" Rose rushed to say, "I got distracted, I-"

"It's okay."

She looked at the strange man for the first time while he handed her the letters back. He was tall, taller than Alfie, and had a gentle smile that matched his light blue eyes.

"Thanks, sir. Mr…"

"James Thorne."

"Thanks, Mr. Thorne." Rose put the letters in her purse.

"You're welcome, ma'am. Are you okay?"

"Not really. But it doesn't matter."

Rose found herself surprised by her own words, why she was talking to that complete stranger about her? Usually she responded that everything was okay, no matter who asked -and for the last years that also included Alfie- and she kept going on with her life. Ignoring her thoughts was her mechanism of self protection.

"Does it have solution?"

"I don't want to think about the solution. But the answer is yes."

"I saw that kind of eyes before," James said. "It's sadness. You're sad."

"Maybe I am."

James put his hand in his pocket and offered her his handkerchief and Rose accepted it.

"It's the kind of sadness that could be healed with some pastries, coffee and me?" James smirked and for the first time in a long time, a genuine chuckle escaped from her.

"I'm married, Mr. Thorne."

"That doesn't answer my question."

"It's the kind of sadness that could be healed with a hug. But I don't know you and you don't know me. And especially you don't know my husband."

"Why do I feel that your husband is the responsable for your broken heart? And yes, I'd like to know you."

She looked at him. Who was that James Thorne that was ready to put himself in danger for her? If Alfie knew…

The same Alfie that put another person in your matrimony, her mind murmured.

"My name is Rose," she said.

He took her hand and kissed it. "Nice to meet you, Rose."

Thorne. Quite appropriate surname. Because James that moment became a thorn in Alfie's side.

One Walsh brother was ready to take Tommy Shelby to his own bed and the other had fell in love at first sight with his wife. Alfie that once had both of them, suddenly it was at risk of losing everything.

"I've to go, Mr. Thorne. Have your handkerchief back."

"Keep it. As a reminder that not all men make women cry."

James stroke her cheek with his knuckle gently. "I know I'm going to see you again. I hope so, at least. It'd be very lucky of me seeing an angel twice in my life."

He winked at her and Rose felt something that she didn't feel in a while: she wasn't invisible. And it was a pleasant but strange sensation.

"Goodbye, Mr. Thorne," she said unable to hide her smile anymore.

"Goodbye, Rose." James tapped his hat and turned around not without looking at her once more, and smiling at her again.

"How's Oscarwilde?" Jared called his brother later that day, when both of them were already in their respective hotels.

"He ate two fillet mignon, as you ordered. I guess he's fine. And me too, hey! Thanks for asking, fucker."

"Don't be so sensitive, Jamie. I'm glad you're fine. Are you enjoying London?"

"I couldn't say that, but something happened today. I went to Camden. I managed to talk to Rose Solomons."

Jared remained in silence a bit for a moment. "How did you know her name?"

"I just told you. I talked to her."

"James, keep yourself away from the jews. I told you just keep an eye on them."

"She needed help. It wasn't my intention… you didn't tell me she was a pretty woman."

"Because I don't know her personally. Fucking hell, James. Stay away from her!"

"Solomons doesn't know the kind of woman he has next to him."

"And you either. You can't know a person just saying hello, James. Jesus…" Jared sighed loudly "go and fuck a whore if your dick needs attention. Go to a bar and invite a Lady to the hotel, I don't know. Find your way, but not with her."

"What if she wants, too?"

"James-"

"You can find some entertainment in Thomas fucking Shelby, but I can't do the same with her?"

"It's different. He's single."

"Speaks the one who slept with married men."

"James! Open your fucking eyes. Goodbye."

His older brother ended the call before he'd say goodbye too. James opened the window and lit a cigarette.

Fuck Jared.

The days that followed, Rose began to meet James suspiciously always in her way. James and his beautiful smile, his kind words, his flirty soul and the way he looked at her. But he was always a gentleman and never crossed any boundaries between him and her. Yet, the unexpected new company, his sweet compliments and the not so subtle way his hands caressed hers had a positive impact on her. And the change in her attitude didn't go unnoticed by Alfie.

It had been a while she woke up humming a song or that she started to play with Cyril and Beast during the evenings. The way her eyes shone or her involuntarily smile that suddenly appeared in her face. Yet, her cold attitude towards him was the same.

And Alfie was terrified of asking why his wife for moments seemed to be the same Rose he always knew.

But the answer arrived not long after he noticed her change, when he saw her with a man he didn't know. Tall, slim and laughing with her few blocks away from the distillery. There was his Rosie smiling at that bastard in ways she didn't do with him in years. Alfie refused to accept what it was obvious and that was that Rose and that man were flirting.

"If someone comes here to bother me, I'm going to shoot them! Fuckin' care who the fucker is! Did ya hear me, Ollie?"

His men saw him pass, walking towards his office very angry. Everyone there knew what an angry Alfie Solomons was capable of and no one was willing to be the next. But Ollie, as his right hand, was the only one who was brave enough to talk to him, even when he wanted to run away.

"I heard you, Alfie."

"Fine. Fuck off, now!"

Rose, his Rosie and another man. What did he expect after the things he did? But selfishly, he wanted to shoot the man. How dare him to make her smile? That was his job, it was always his job.

"You promised me a lot of things."

Her voice, her words resounded in his head. He swore her fidelity, eternal love and made lot of promises that during the last years he forgot completely about.

If a rose isn't taking care properly, the rose dies because beautiful as they are they're also fragile. Yet, they could reborn under the correct circumstances.

And Rose, wasn't very different from the homonymous flower.

Fuck.

"FUCK!"

"Come with me tonight," James said to her. Both were sitting in a café and he invited to go to a party that was going to be celebrated in a palace, outside London.

"No, I can't. I can't."

"Why not? It's because of your husband? You deserve better."

"James…"

"You know I'm fucking right, Róisín."

Róisín, the Gaelic form for Rose, was the way he became to call her just few days after they met. And she refused to accept how much she liked it that nickname.

"It's not just Alfie, James… it's not just that."

"Come on, Rose, tell me you don't like me. Tell me. And if you do, then I'm going to invite you to that party as friends or I'm just going alone."

And for the first time in her life, Rose couldn't say a thing because James was right: she liked him, but her heart always belonged to Alfie. Even now.

Yet, there was her mind and body betraying her. It was his fault. James Thorne and all the attention he was putting on her. James Thorne and his incredible talent to make her feel so good. Him and the butterflies he managed to wake up inside her. James that appeared when she hadn't any more strength.

He put a hand in the back of her head and gently pushed her against him. His thumb was caressing her cheek and was looking at her with devotion.

"You're so beautiful. So precious, Róisín."

It was an early afternoon in middle of Camden Town, when Rose allowed another man to kiss her.

It’s interesting that the Dofalmingo Family provides the best and the worst examples of the Celestial Dragons/World Nobles. And that their unique personality traits mostly comes from their interaction with the world outside of Mariejois. Doflamingo is a no-brainer, he’s obviously a wrong’un, and he was initially corrupted by the society of Mariejois, but his descent into sociopathy truly began when he was granted something that the World Nobles only had when their authority was recognised: power. Real physical, hard power, and not from the recognition granted by the World Government. I actually think that he wanted to destroy the World Government, and that part of his motivation is not just that he wouldn’t be accepted among the World Nobles: Doflamingo is a true elitist in the sense that he would only recognise power from the strong dictating the affairs of the world. He sees his former kinsmen as a weak, indolent class who are only granted their power and lesiure through the authority of the World Government. Thanks to his upbringing among gangsters, Doflamingo follows a Social Darwinist philosophy where the destiny of the ‘natural elite’ is to rule the world - which of course includes himself, but also pirates like Kaido, Shanks, Crocodile, and so on. I think that his seemingly contradictory wish to become Pirate King, actually falls perfectly in line with this philosophy.

Then there’s Roshinante, who experienced the same hardships as his older brother, but had a sensitive disposition, and was adopted by the Marine officer Sengoku. Decent to a fault, and wants to uphold the world order and values that Doflamingo rejects. But his relationship with Law was very interesting. While Doflamingo was bound to antagonise someone from the D. clan based who they are, Roshinante - a former Celestial Dragon embraced Law despite his status, and became a surrogate parent to him,. producing the unlikeliest form of love.

Donquixote Mjosgard was a typical Celestial Dragon who was met with a similar situation to Doflamingo and Roshinante, but the mercy he received from an “inferior creature” the Mermaid Princess, started the process where he would regain the humanity that the culture of the Celestial Dragons deny themselves. He lived and died on a principle to respect all life, and was condemned by his kinsmen as a traitor and executed on those very principles, denounced as “lower than scum”.

I don’t know, I just thought that the worst and best of humanity comes from the Donquixote Family in One Piece, I’m sure that they must be more to it than that. But it’s also interesting that every “good” member of the Donquixote dies, and usually with the brutal death.

(Homing’s wife didn’t but Oda has this ‘women are delicate’ thing going on that prevents him portraying anything like the gangster-style murders of Homing and Roshinante)

The movie is off the walls crazy but you really got to take the whole thing in. It's made really badly but it somehow is made amazingly as well. The film manages to cram in every quotes on quotes Urban stereotype into this film very quickly. However the film isn't 100% sure if it wants to be a soap opera or an action film or something else. The film mainly centers around a character called milk who is a young All-Star gangster leading a gang of thugs but his life turns around when his stepfather gets out of jail and tries to take back the streets in the town. Now I say that's the main character in main story but there are a lot of characters in here which is probably how it sets itself up to be a soap opera. What makes this kind of bad movie interesting is when half your cast can actually act fairly well and the other half can't at all. This makes the interaction with these characters really entertaining for a bad movie Hound like myself. The jumps between the room style over acting to days of our life soap opera acting right back to zero budget non-actors acting is very impressive. This could be because there's maybe just too many damn characters in this film.But it's not just the acting it's also the production. Take the very opening scene where a supposed action scene is happening with milk gang versus an opposing gang we see a very short struggle but done with intense action shots intense music and humorous gun flares added on but all that done in a good looking location and it fools you that as if this was an actual action moment when in reality they were just sort of bumping into each other and falling down. Milking his game come across this issue later on as well when they have to fight cops it's very weird that the cops seem to be in spirit of Halloween cop uniforms while the scene is paste and edited well and has again intense music but this time the camera is moving back a bit and we're just noticing that the cops are just sort of rolling around on the ground with the gang members and nothing's happening. It's the kind of scene in the movie where you imagine if the music wasn't there this would be really sad. But because the film seems to have decent direction at certain points in the film it almost seems like this is a joke. The thing is it might actually be a joke but I can't really tell. There are definitely moments where one or two characters are there for humor purposes including one who shoots a bullet after imagining he could curve the bullet like in The Matrix and then he actually does it. But the character who did it is definitely a silly character. And the person he shoots is wearing an obvious sight gag t-shirt. I really can't do that scene justice in type you really have to see it and when you see it you'll know what I mean. However beside the violent gang storyline my favorite character is milk much older brother who seems to be living a much more upper middle class lifestyle but it is ruining it by his addiction to becoming a gigolo and sort of drug addict. However the older brother is so much charismatic than most of the cast when his life starts to fall apart because of his addictions and man whoring you literally feel like he is the victim here when in fact he is no less evil than any other character in this movie. Maybe that's what this movie is trying to say that there is no good there is no bad in this world it's just the side that you choose and those that betray you should be left in the dust and those who are with you should be treated like kings and be honored all the way throughout their lives. Oh my God what the hell is wrong with me I'm only three films in this pain-athon and I'm already giving a Maverick films production a deep philosophical meaning. Trust me the movie doesn't really have that but it's waving quality from amazing to terrible lets this " trapped in the closet" amped up action soap opera movie play a few games with your head. This review is dedicated to the guys at Perfect Turd Podcast for bringing this film to my attention.

Stats:

Name: Biron James Bostaligni

Nickname: B; Raphael

Alias: Gargoyle

Affiliation: Team Legacy

Position: Team Member

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Age / Birthday: 30 / June 20th

Sexuality: Heterosexual, Biromantic

Hometown: Los Angelos, California

Zodiac: Gemini

Quote: “It’s funnier if you shut the fuck up and let me tell it.” -Biron Bostaligni

Personality:

Biron doesn’t have a minute to waste on being serious. He says his brother was serious enough for the both of them, and he kicked the bucket pretty early so that shit can’t be good for a person. Biron is a pathological liar with narcissistic tendencies. He thinks he’s the coolest, smartest, most important man alive and he always has to be in the know. Biron loves to screw around, crack jokes, and play games… almost as much as he loves teasing and poking fun at others. He can’t stand being given orders and loves to push the envelope, he keeps his emotions completely hidden and relishes in watching others fall victim to their own emotional outbursts. Although it’s hard to tell, Biron doesn’t have it out for anyone, he just cares about himself significantly more than anybody else on the planet.

Biography:

Biron grew up on the streets of L.A. and lived with his older brother for most of his life. His parents were petty criminals always in and out of court rooms for hearings over petty infractions and never employed. He and his brother were made to fend for themselves at a young age, and so the life of crime found them in a way. They began practicing the art of pickpocketing and eventually began orchestrating incredibly well thought out acts and cons. They called themselves street performers, but only because words like “theif” and “criminal” reminded them of their parents, and they were better than their parents.

As they got older, their reputation grew and people told wild and mystical stories about the misadventures and heists of the Bostaligni Brothers. They were well known by many city police officers but all their evidence was circumstantial, it would never hold up in court. Biron and his brother thought they were invisible, they lived like kings, feeding off of their own hype. Biron even acquired a very expensive taste in fashion while his brother preferred to accessorize with priceless jewelry. Rumors spread, as per usual, of the brother’s next big heist. But unfortunately, somebody with a loose tongue spoke too much and their heist was thwarted. The brothers were apprehended and each given a light sentence of 4 years in a maximum security prison.

While in prison, the Bostaligni brothers were targeted by a hispanic prison gang. When three of these gang members attempted to jump Biron in the showers is when he discovered his ability of Gargoyle Mimicry. Being startled by the feel of a man grabbing him from behind and pressing a makeshift shiv to his neck caused him to instantly take his gargoyle form which, being a bit larger than his human form, knocked the assailant back. Biron turned around in confusion, not sure what was going on until he caught his reflection in the mirror and studied his new stone body. Biron wasn’t one to get scared or panic, so he adjusted rather quickly and tested his new strength and durability on the gangsters who had made enemies of him.

After word spread among the inmates of a mutant in their prison, no one dared to mess with Biron or his brother. Unfortunately, Biron made the mistake of letting his new dominance go to his head. He ruled the prison with an iron fist (literally) and built up his underground empire. He always extended his benefits and special treatment to his brother, Alec, who was less than pleased with the path his baby brother was heading down. Biron and his brother grew apart considerably over the next two years but Biron was lost in his new world and couldn’t see the clear depression his brother was going through. When Alec was found hanging from his bedsheets, fastened to the middle bar of his cell window… Biron was so shocked he stopped speaking for weeks.

Biron was allowed special leave from prison in order to attend his brother’s funeral. Seeing his mother and father again for the first time in years was more than tense, it was terrible. Upon seeing Biron, his mother slapped him across the face and told him that Alec’s death was his fault. The rage that consumed Biron triggered his gargoyle form and after crushing his parents’ car and throwing Alec’s coffin into its grave, he flew away.

Later he joined up with Alfie, Cecil, and Sonya: a group of mutants much like himself. They had all lost their ways in the world, felt lost and alone, and the stayed together for support and mutual understanding. They weren’t a team of villains or heroes, they just wanted to be safe and live. But the sudden death of Sonya, Alfie’s fraternal twin sister, took a tragic tole on the makeshift family and drove Cecil down a dark path. Biron and Alfie sought help from Jarome and his team in order to overcome Cecil and has been living in the Legacy house ever since.

Powers:

Stone Physiology:

Biron is able to shift the composition of his body into stone. His stone form is 2.5x the size of his human form and he takes the form of a Gargoyle with large wings, a dinosaur-like tail, and a monstrous face, exerting energy to do so. Although he has wings he is only able to hover above the ground for a few passing moments and uses this to gain height over an opponent. Biron’s stone form is slower than he is but much stronger and yields maximum damage.

Spark-Life Creation:

Biron is able to “animate” small objects and items by giving them a simple command. To compliment this power, Biron’s hobbies include origami, whittling, and collecting small toys so that he has various object to do simple tasks such as: flipping a switch, holding or carrying an object, pulling a lever or string, or delivering a letter with a message.

Skills:

Day 3: Huanglong/Panlong

Prompt: "Objection!" "You cannot scream objection in a private argument." (from creativepromptsforwriting.)

Word count: 873

Today was the day of the monthly meeting between all 9 Dragon Kings.

Most of them had arrived on time, dressed in the clothes Tianlong had hand-sewn for them.

They loitered around, waiting for the final Dragon King to arrive. Shenlong, the 3rd eldest, looked more distressed by the minute, worrying about both the meeting and his waiting paperwork. Tianlong notices, patting him softly on the back and reassuring him that Huanglong must be arriving soon.

Tianlong was the 2nd eldest and the most admired brother, he was the most understanding and comforting to be around. All the Dragon Kings would come to him whenever they were distressed and he'd listen carefully.

They were comfortable enough to share their secrets with Tianlong. He was the only one who wouldn't judge or mock them. Tianlong was the all-knowing brother, so they never doubted what he said.

Then, someone burst open the doors with vigor. His coat blew behind him with the gust of wind, his large yellow horns were somehow pierced, and his outfit was…informal. Everyone sighed audibly, who else but Huanglong?

Huanglong was the youngest of the 9, he was only a couple thousands years old as compared to his older brothers, who had been around for millions of years.

As always, the youngest was the rowdiest. Huanglong's kingdom was filled to the brim with rebels, gangsters, and known criminals. He didn't really rule, they just respected and admired him because he was a Dragon King.

Huanglong loved the attention he got, as well as the adrenaline that came from committing crimes. His kingdom was a mess, to say the least. A wasteland, if you will. He did care about supplies, but he never cared about appearances or civility.

"Just do whatever the hell you want!" Huanglong would bellow, and his followers would cheer in approval.

Huanglong never seemed to care about the affairs of the Dragon Kings, he only attended because he was asked to.

"You're late." Shenlong said, through gritted teeth. He glared at Huanglong, who seemed completely unfazed.

"Chill, bro! I'm only 30 minutes late!" Huanglong said with a smile, his long fangs visible. He re-adjusted his hair, he hadn't dyed it in a while, his black roots starting to show.

"Only 30 minutes? What the hell?" Shenlong thought, grimacing. He didn't want to say that out loud, lest he start an argument.

Huanglong then walked over to Qiulong, the 6th eldest, who was even grumpier than Shenlong.

Huanglong was nowhere near as tall as Qiulong, standing only at his belly. Huanglong greeted Qiulong with a compliment, but Qiulong remained silent, choosing to ignore him. It would be a waste of energy. But Huanglong still remained cheerful.

Tianlong broke the silence, greeting Huanglong. Huanglong's face seemed to light up and he greeted his elder brother back with respect. Tianlong was the only brother Huanglong would address formally.

Meanwhile, Long Wang sat on his chair. He sat at the end of the long dining table, his cane hanging off the edge. He observed everyone through half-lidded eyes.

Then, Long Wang stood up, clasping his hands. All 8 Dragon Kings quickly took notice, shuffling to their seats and standing up straight. Long Wang was the most terrifying brother, he was the eldest after all. He was billions of years old, and nothing on earth would have existed if it weren't for Long Wang. Not even Qiulong dared to go against him.

"If we are done bickering, let this meeting commence."

For a while, the meeting went smoothly. No arguing, no interruptions. They all seemed to be focused on the topic at hand. Of course, except Huanglong. He was busy fidgeting with his bike keys, tuning everything out until he heard his name mentioned.

"Huanglong's people have been slowly pouring into Panlong's kingdom. They've been causing havoc, surely Huanglong could at least teach them how to be civil in our kingdoms!?" Shenlong exclaimed, scolding Huanglong.

Huanglong's ears perked up, and he immediately stood up from his chair. He puts his hands flat on the table, annoyed.

"Whaddya mean, teach them!?" Huanglong yelled, and the Dragon Kings sighed. Not again.

"You are their King! You have every right and power to teach them!" Shenlong argued back, also standing up from his seat.

"Objection!" Huanglong exclaimed, banging his fist onto the table.

Suddenly, Panlong, the 8th brother, also shot up from his chair.

"You cannot scream objection in a private argument!" Panlong almost yelled.

Huanglong and the rest of the Dragon Kings were shocked at Panlong's sudden temper. They knew he was petty, but not outwardly angry.

"Of course I can, genius!" Huanglong said, tilting his head.

"No you can't! You damn gangster!" Panlong yelled, his temper rising.

"What the fuck did you call me!?"

"Am I wrong!?"

A cane struck the ground, and the earth rumbled beneath them. The shockwave that occurred nearly causes everyone to fall over. They all collectively gasp, and steady themself on either the table or the wall. Suddenly, the room was silent. The only things heard were labored breaths.

They looked to Long Wang, in fear and in shock. Those 2 really crossed the line now.

Long Wang was now standing, gripping his cane. He clicked his tongue.

"Silence!"

Mystery Girl

A/N: hello my luvs! I am happy to say that I am finally back. I had decided to take a break from writing due to school being a bit overwhelming, but overtime I have come up with a lot of new stuff to share with you all! And for now, I'll continue to deliver current and future requests sitting in my mail cause i love doing those for ya'll so, by all means, enjoy!

Genre: Fluff, slight crack

Rindou x Reader

Everyone could agree that Tenjiku, along with its four heavenly kings, were made of the strongest and, quite literally, the most brutal gangsters of the S-62 generation. However, within the gang, everyone could only see each other as nothing more than a bunch of idiotic misfits.

For example, in the eyes of their fellow gang members, the Haitani brothers may be the supreme rulers of roppongi, but deep down they were just two siblings who got on each other's nerves and made it everyone else’s problem.

It was no secret that the older Haitani was a menace to his little brother and took every opportunity he had to tease Rindou. At first, it was annoying, but over time, it was like daily entertainment for Tenjiku to watch the two brothers bicker.

Today was no different.

Rindou was peacefully slouching along one of the beat up couches of their dingy warehouse hideout, eyes glued to his phone, while Ran stared holes into the back of his brother’s blonde and blue locks. The silent question bubbling in his mind: what is he doing so long on his phone?

This matter particularly disturbed the Haitani, since his brother was less of a socialite, especially when it came to social media. Yet, here he was, messages open, while texting an unknown individual that HE didn’t know about? This was indeed quite odd.

“Rindou,” he calls.

No answer, just the sound of his thumbs tapping against the device’s screen.

Huffing, he calls once more, “Rindouuu.” Still nothing.

“What could he be so fixated on?” Kakucho voices next to the older Haitani.

“I don’t know, but I don’t like how this person is getting all this attention from my little brother.”

That’s when the lightbulb goes off, sparking an idea from the older brother’s mind, his signature mischievous smile spreading on his lips. Sighing in pity, all Kakucho could do was watch as Ran carried out his usual wicked deeds towards his little brother.

One swipe was all it took to snatch Rindou’s phone from his hands, which he quickly responds with an empty grasp of air.

“What the fuck Ran?!”

Ran ignores his sibling as he takes a closer look at his current messages to the unknown stranger. He gasps, and there’s a temporary silence that swells in the air.

“Who is it from?” Izana questions, turning everyone’s curiosity to the brothers.

“R-ran, give it back dammit!” Rindou growls, trying to land a hit on his brother but failing miserably.

Squinting at the bright screen, he takes a moment to register the conversation. His eyes widened,“It’s…”

Izana raises a brow “It’s?”

Ran clears his throat, “….it’s from…a girl?”

The gang was silent, mildly in shock, as they turned to the currently blushing dual-colored younger brother.

“Wait Rindou…,” Mochi voices, breaking the intense silence, “since when do you talk to girls?” he questions.

“Damn straight!” Ran says. “And more importantly, why didn’t you tell your dear big bro?” he whines, throwing a puppy look in his direction.

“Cause’ it's none of your damn business!” Rindou groans, snatching his phone back from his menacing brother’s clutches.

“I always thought the dude was more on the other side of the fence…if you catch my drift,” Shion says in wonder, while Mucho nods in agreement as he glances at Sanzu.

“I AM NOT GAY!” Rindou shouts, heat growing to his cheeks. “And even if I was, I would rather take the information to my grave than tell any of you idiots.”

“That’s rather offensive Rindou.” Kakucho frowns, folding his arms and shooting him a pointed look. “We may have our differences, but we’re a gang. Comrades, actually. You could’ve at least said something.”

“What he said,” Ran interjects, throwing a thumb over to Kakucho beside him.

“So who is it you are talking to that has your undivided attention,” questioned Izana.

Ah, the big question.

Everyone stares, waiting for an answer from Rindou.

He sighs dejectedly as his shoulders slump.

“You know what…you guys already know too much anyway so I might as well…” pinching the bridge of his nose, he breathes in deeply. “She’s my girlfriend.”

Safe to say everyone was completely dumbfounded by the news.

Especially Ran.

“OH THE HORROR,” he cries dramatically, hand clutching his over his heart as he raises a hand over his head.

“Well…that was…unexpected.” Mutters Kakucho.

“Didn’t think he had it in him.” Mochi shrugs.

Just as fast as the comments swirled, so did the questions as well.

“So…what’s she like?” Shion asks.

Now everyone had huddled around the couch where Rindou had seated himself back on, as he continued to text you.

“An angel from heaven,” he quickly slaps a hand on his mouth.

“Gross.” Shion sticks out his tongue.

“You really are smitten huh?” Ran quips, grinning like a fool.

“Please, shut up.”

Bzzz!

y/n: you mind if I drop by? I wanna see you before I go home.

Rindou smiles.

Rindou: Sure babe, I’m at the hideout. I’d like to introduce you to the gang if that’s all right?

y/n: sure! On my way <333

“She’ll be here soon, so stop asking me about her already. You guys are annoying,” Rindou shoots glares at everyone before going back to staring at his phone.

“Rin rin? Are you here?” you called out sweetly, voice reverberating throughout the rusty walls of the warehouse.

Everyone pipes up at the new voice, with Rindou being the first to greet you with open arms and softness in his smile. You run towards him, crashing against him as your arms immediately encircle around his waist, burying your face into the warmth of his tenjiku uniform.

“Rin! I’ve missed you!”

“I’ve missed you too bubs,” he mumbles in your hair, planting a kiss on your crown.

“ ‘Bubs’?! Rindou what the fuck type of lovey dovey shit are you on dude?!” Shion cackles from behind.

However, it isn’t long before he is face-to-face with you, slack jawed at your beautiful appearance.

Before he could even hit you with one of his newest pick up lines, he immediately hits the ground, face smooshed into the harsh, dirt floor with an imprint of fist on his exposed cheek.

Meanwhile, you stood above him, your once soft gaze now darkened with a menacing aura surrounding you.

“Don’t you dare talk shit about my boyfriend you prick. You got something to say, you say it to my fuckin’ face.”

The sudden change in attitude was one thing, but having the ability to knock out Shion was different. Especially a girl.

“Did she just…knock out Shion?”

“Way to state the obvious Kakucho.” Izana mocks, grinning at the misfortune of an unconscious Shion.

“Rindou, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK DUDE!”

Ran gasps, pointing an accusing finger at his little brother. “She’s beautiful AND can fight?”

“At least she isn’t like his previous relationships where he ends up getting used or dumped.”

The blatant statement wasn’t too far off either. Ever since Mucho had joined Tenjiku, he had taken notice to Rindou’s frequent change in women overtime in the gang.

Shrugging, he ignores the whole scene while continuing his game of shogi with Sanzu.

“Alright, enough you guys!” Rindou sighs, walking over to you and embracing you from behind.

“Sweetheart, please don’t worry about them, this is normal. No need to get upset,” he whispers, kissing the shell of your ear. You pout, turning to face your boyfriend. “Rindou, if I were you, I’d beat their asses, but since it’s fine with you then it’s fine with me.”

Nodding, Rindou kisses you on the forehead, smiling sweetly. “Thanks beautiful.”

“You two mind go getting a room, because I can’t stand that new couple shit. Makes me nauseous.” Mochi groans.

“Agreed,” everyone said in unison.

Damian's changing! (Bats are a bit concerned) #DeadSerious

Hello everyone! Now as you can already tell, this is a crossover ship of dp x dc. I wasn't really interested in this ship tbh but reading 'Something is weird with Damian' by Tuka2002 on AO3 (if you see this, hi!!! Love your work) and it was stuck in my head lol. So I'm taking inspiration from the fic and making my own headcannons!

- For contexts, Damian meets Danny normally; ie. No enemies chasing one another, no trying to off each other, no nada! They have a normal meeting and they both decided they like each other (Damian took longer than he like to admit) and it started from there.

- They been dating for some time, Danny a bit older than Damian; about a few years apart. Damian hasn't told anyone about him meeting someone, only Jon (he's his best friend, sue him), and Danny couldn't keep it a secret for long before his sister and friends found out (They lie for him all the time, they know he's bad at lying too)

- Danny had such a good influence on Damian that the Batclan thought that he was being mind controlled. Even Jon at first was suspicious at Danny (because he worries for his friend).

- Danny is such a sweetheart; although his choice of clothes make him look like a gangster lol.

- No joke, he would wear all black, a leather jacket with spikes on the shoulders, gloves, heavy boots, a mask that looks like a muzzle, rides a bike and it doesn't help that he's almost 7 feet tall (courtesy of his father's genes) and pretty much brawn (due to all the ghost fighting).

- Bruce will have a heart attack when he first see Danny. Alfred will raise a eyebrow.

- But like I said, Danny's a sweetheart, he'll bring gifts, expensive or not (let's throw in some Ghost King hc's in) and spoil Damian rotten. He's a gentleman too, always opening doors for Damian and buying the things he likes (Jon will always teased him about it)

- As for Damian, he'll start to get 'soft' as his siblings like to put it. Don't get me wrong, he's still the snobby demon brat we all know and love; he's just tone it down a little. He starts caring for others little by little and he even stopped trying to off he's brothers (Tim is very alarmed at this)

- He starts wearing the gifts that Danny gives, mainly clothing and jewelry. The clothing are in pastels colours and Damian loves them. Now Bruce doesn't like any of his kids dating (sue him) but this is very alarming to him as he never see Damian like this (Little does he know that they been together for a while now) so he'll be extra protective; although Danny thinks it's very heartwarming and would not be phased (ayy) at all.

- The Bats are debating whether or not that Danny is a thread.

- I don't know how the Bats meet Danny (officially). It could be dramatic or they wait for Damian to tell or Danny could a suspect and Damian is trying to clear his name or it could just be a normal (or as normal as can be) meeting.

- Anyway you put it, it will be interesting (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

- As for their side job (*cough*cough), that up for debate cuz I really don't know about this one. They could have known what the other does but not the full picture or Danny has told him about him being Ghost King and in turn, Damian told him about being robin (They both did this because in Danny's part, he doesn't like lying to Damian and would like it out of the way when the relationship got serious; For Damian it's the same as Danny and also he knows he's not human and ask him if he's a meta)

That's about all! Do penny your thoughts cuz I really invested in this ship! (◕દ◕) Sorry if there are some grammar mistakes here and there lol.

On a side note: I realised that this would work for a lot of other ships, crossover or not, so feel free to take it as your own ^o^ Just tag me so I can see (and fangirl over) it.

#dc x dp #dp x dc #danny phantom #batman #danny fenton #damian wayne #I wanted to post this yesterday #but the internet was being a bitch #but anyhow #hope you like it #I really did #maybe I should do more #we'll see if my life would allow it #lol #Op writes

Bullet Train *spoilers*

Bullet Train is like The Wolverine meets Kill Bill.

It’s one of those shows where you just sit back, switch off your brains and enjoy the ride with your popcorn. In this case, following a group of assassins boarding the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) from Tokyo, each with a mission of their own, each not aware of the other’s presence on board the same train until later on.

What I love about this is the uniqueness of each character, each with their own backstory explaining why or how they end up doing what they are doing, ending up on the same train as the other assassins. They make each character relatable and badass that it’s hard for you to choose who your favourite is.

Brad Pitt plays a weathered assassin who is hired by his employer played by Sandra Bullock, for a simple mission to retrieve a briefcase but got entangled in a web of conspiracy on board the train that he finds it hard to accomplish it as he is not the only one who wants it and there’s someone out to kill him too.

(For the record, can I say how absolutely stunning she still is. I’ve had a crush on her since I watched her in Speed and Demolition Man! 😆)

Anyway, I find his character to be relatable when you’re older as he’s tired of being an assassin and going therapy for his anxieties, had enough of dramas in his life and just wants to get the job done. His zen mode in wanting to talk to cold blooded assassins to settle things instead of fighting is just hilarious.

He is an absolute mood throughout the whole show, having enough of all the shit happening around him and just wants some peace, he could not understand why everyone is so aggressive and angry when they could just settle things peacefully, he even remarked he just wants to go to a temple.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Quicksilver, Avengers Age of Ultron) plays the charming British assassin with low tolerance for bullshit, he’s like the funny parody of James Bond. I honestly didn’t know it’s Aaron Taylor-Johnson as his different looks and accent threw me off until the ending credits starts rolling.

Anyway, he works in pair with his brother, Brian Tyree Henry (Godzilla vs King Kong), who is good at reading people and could see right through them if they are lying through their teeth. He credits his favourite childhood series, Thomas the Tank Engine, for teaching him life lessons in reading people.

Something which agitates his brother, who got sick and tired of hearing the same story of Thomas the Tank Engine being used as a metaphor to describe people, that his brother threaten to shoot his face every time. Watching them bickering at each other like real siblings is wholesome and funny.

Bad Bunny plays an absolute beast in this. His character’s grand entrance is just epic and the song got stuck my head since I left the cinema. He grew up being a good son and a loyal gangster who wants revenge for his lover and gang. I was rooting for him but disappointed at how quickly he was killed off.

Zazie Beetz (Deadpool 2) plays the silent assassin who is a master of disguise who could blend into any situation without anyone realising until it’s too late. She’s quick and could outsmart anyone but Brad Pitt’s character. At the beginning, I thought the assassin was Karen Fukuhara (The Boys) instead.

Andrew Koji (Snake Eyes) plays the distraught father of a son who was pushed off a rooftop by someone he believes to be on board the train and wants revenge. But he got outwitted by the assassin whose looks and mannerism threw him off guard, becoming manipulated and played by her instead.

Joey King plays an innocent looking schoolgirl who can change her behaviour and mannerism instantly, like faking tears and playing the victim, to throw the assassins off guard before pouncing on them with her ruthlessness. The prime suspect believed to be pulling the strings on board the train until the end.

Hiroyuki Sanada plays the father of Andrew Koji’s character who came into the picture after learning of his grandson’s assassination attempt and the disappearance of his son. The only one who knew who tried to kill his grandson and the only one he knew who the real mastermind is and is out to get him.

Michael Shannon plays the mastermind who orchestrated the entire train saga. A Russian gangster who infiltrate the Yakuza that Hiroyuki Sanada’s character once belonged to in his younger days and kill the entire Yakuza including his wife, the flashback scene alone is the better part of the movie with its song.

youtube

Overall, it’s an enjoyable and fun movie to watch if you just want some ass kicking action with some comedy and a little bit of violence. The repetitive snake scene is unnecessary and I wish the flashback scene to the Yakuza takeover by White Death was longer. Other than that, it’s a pretty good movie.

#bullet train #brad pitt #sandra bullock #aaron taylor johnson #brian tyree henry #bad bunny #zazie beetz #andrew koji #joey king #hiroyuki sanada #michael shannon #the wolverine #kill bill #snake eyes #karen fukuhara #deadpool 2 #godzilla vs king kong #avengers age of ultron #my reviews

Why Sousuke is so loyal to Shinichiro?

Baji Sousuke / The Hellhound of the Black dragons Masterlist

When they are young teenagers, Shinichiro joins a fight despite knowing he is gonna get his ass beaten.

Sousuke was being overpowered by a group of gangsters. He was being attacked from all sides. He had beaten up their gang leader who brought his whole gang. He was clearly told Shinichiro to run away, this was his mess. But that stubborn boy refused to leave him for dead.

Sousuke was more worried about his friend than his own life. He couldn't focus. He knows Shinichiro may get killed which he did get stabbed when Sousuke was being held down to be stabbed but Shinichiro took the blow for him.

Takeomi had shown up last minute to see Shinichiro holding the blade in place. Takeomi saw Sousuke lift grown men from the ground where he was held down. He never has seen Sousuke so livid with anger. Veins were popping out of the neck and forehead.

Sousuke was covered in blood that wasn't his, with a few scratches and bruises. His uniform was rid of dodging knives.

"Take him out of here. I will cover for you! GO!"

Sousuke kept his word making a pathway through the crowd and becoming a demon from hell. He found using everything he would find to his advantage. He wasn't smiling because he was happy. He was grinning out of madness and pure rage.

He was cutting people with their own blades. Takeomi felt complete fear run through his body. Sousuke was a psycho of madness when it comes to fighting.

When Takeomi was carrying Shinichiro to the closest hospital, anyone who tried to follow them. Sousuke was using them as target practice and immobile them from running after them. He was throwing blades left and right all while laughing like a madman.

Sousuke can go all out without worrying about Shinichiro being caught in the crossfire.

Once he was done, he left a bloody mess behind. Gang members bleeding from their wounds with numerous bones broken. Sousuke personally called the hospital for them from one of the fallen gangsters.

When Sousuke came to visit Shinichiro in the hospital covered in bruises and covered with cuts with his siblings. Mikey and Emma were anxious to see their older brother. When Sousuke asked Shinichiro why didn't he run away knowing he could have lost his life.

"That would be cowardly of me, leaving my best friend for dead. You don't have to do things alone. "

It pulled Sousuke's heartstrings and declared to him his guard dog which cause Shinichiro to become frizzy.

Sousuke saw him as a true friend, a brother who was willing to stay behind despite knowing the consequences. Shinichiro was stubborn but wasn't afraid to stand up against the odds. A quality that Sousuke admired and appreciated.

Shinichiro was the first of many who wasn't afraid of him and genuinely wanted to become friends with him. He didn't want to use him for his strength. Shinichiro enjoyed his company and never had a boring moment with each other. He didn't see him as a tool, but a friend of a brother.

Shinichiro is worth being a loyal friend, who wouldn't ever backstab him. He wasn't that kind of person. He will be there through thick and thin.

Shinichiro was his first official friend ever. His past doesn't count as friends. They were fake friends who wanted to use him.

Sousuke and Shinichiro shared the same moral of loyalty, doesn't matter what happens.

BONUS: Sousuke earned respect from that gang, he has beaten the complete shit out of them. They wanted him to become their leader, which he straight-up refused numerous times. However, when the black dragons were formed. Shinichiro convinced him to become the captain of that division from the previous gang when they were absorbed into the black dragons. They followed Sousuke like a king. He hated it, but was an excellent leader for his division.

Writing down your hometown as X-city, X-zone.

Mentioning Gold-celeb resort city as your dream vacation destination

Shoving flower petals through an electric fan while pointing it at someone and yelling "Fantasy swirl of flowers!"

Believing that so long as you wear the ingenious disguise of a surgical mask and swirly eye glasses no one will be able to recognise you

Saying "Fire up! Just like the burning flames in my heart, burn it up into red hot flames!" before riding because then your bike will know to go faster

Painting under your eyes dark green and pretending you're being controlled by the dark emblem

Constantly checking windows to see if there's a secret message written on them

If you get in trouble for something you did, your excuse is that you were being controlled by the dark emblem at the time

Making an emblem out of cardboard and taping it to the front of your bike

Naming your bike and claiming it has a special move

Writing the name of your bike on its side with a marker

Freaking out whenever you see people with dark bags under their eyes

Always buying all your accessories and items in platinum

Insisting that your juniors / younger relatives refer to you as "Your Highness"

Dressing up as a Team-X or Team ST rider for Halloween (and if people ask what you're supposed to be you say you're a gangster or a zombie)

Constantly riding through parks and private property in the name of shortcuts

Colouring a cardboard box to look like a character's helmet

Wearing said box-helmet while riding and crashing multiple times because you didn't cut out eye holes

Offering parts of bicycles as money

You consider bicycle riding to be among the many things ninjas do

Whenever a girl is held captive you wonder whether it's really just her brother trying to protect her

When someone cheats your first instinct is to ask them whether a dictator has kidnapped their family

Wetting blank pages of encyclopedias to see if they reveal anything

Your idea of a hero outfit consists of a cape and helmet

You worry about little brothers being mean to their older brothers instead of the other way round

You consider smashing rocks to be among the many uses of a sword

Wondering if your friend's talking parrot is actually the king of another dimension under a curse with amnesia

The way you make up with someone is by offering to split chocolate with them

When little kids get on bikes you worry that they might go crazy (even though you're the one that actually goes crazy)

You have extremely high standards and expectations of older brothers

When girls get mad your solution is to get them fruit sundae ASAP and make sure they don't walk into an open manhole afterwards

Trying to create hurricanes by spinning around on your bike

You salute when you see painters just in case they're actually captain of the knights

If you're worried about your siblings you spend the whole day stalking them instead of helping them directly in case your enemies find them

You tell people you know what lost love feels like and that you haven't seen them since childhood even though you were so close, and when asked you show them a picture of idaten jump.

#idaten jump #text #I might add more if I come up with them #feel free to add your own to this list #I hope the warning at the beginning is unnecessary #but if we live in an age where Donald Trump can become president I'm not taking any chances

Are You Sure About That?

((Warning for blood and blood drinking))

The seedy streets of Gotham were filled with whispers about the demons and monsters that roamed the city, and outsiders and Gotham’s lawful scoffed at how superstitious the criminals could be.

Gordon had worked alongside Batman enough to be quite sure there were no demons in Gotham. Sure, the vigilante was a little standoffish, but it was Gotham. Likewise, the Robins and Batgirls were all good kids. Maybe the first Robin’s smiles were a little eerie, but that was likely just the contrast with his mentor. Maybe the second and third liked morbid humor, but that was just how kids were these days. Maybe the fourth Robin was a bit temperamental and harsh, but he was young. Maybe the Batgirls’ movements were a little uncanny, but that was probably just the training. Maybe Nightwing seemed a little too cheerful about the stuff they dealt with, but the kid had been doing this since he was young. He could have a worse coping mechanism. Red Hood was the only one he’d really consider monstrous, but the guy was a former crime lord turned anti-hero and he had been getting better since the Bat had taken him under his wing.

The members of the Justice League rolled their eyes whenever someone brought up the rumors. Batman was grim, overly serious, and secretive, but he was a good man who only wanted the best and always had plan after plan to help the league succeed.

The Titans thought the rumors were hilarious. Sunshine Boy Nightwing? A demon? Who could believe the guy who was always flipping around and laughing at his own bad puns was some dark monster?

The Outlaws didn’t believe it, but they understood why someone might make the mistake of thinking Red Hood was a monster. The guy was vicious and maybe a little messed up in the head, but then again so were they.

Young Justice scoffed at the rumors. Corvid was incredibly intelligent and an incredible fighter, but he was also an absolute mess who couldn’t remember to sleep, eat, or drink on his own.

The Teen Titans stared dumbly when they heard the rumors. Sure, Robin was rude, brutal, and a bit entitled, but calling him a demon was a little much, especially considering the team had a cambion member.

The Birds of Prey ignored the rumors. Oracle was a godsend, even when she had to give up the cowl because of an unknown accident. And Batgirl was a brash spitfire, but she was always willing to lend a hand. Likewise, Huntress mostly stuck to herself, but she could be kind and personable when the time came.

The public, well, as time went on they saw more and more of Batman and his companions working with their teams on the news. It was quite clear to everyone that the group was nothing more than baseline humans with incredible training who were out to make the world a better place.

Yet the rumors persisted.

Because in the shadows of Gotham, where only the darkest of souls and their victims could see you, there was no reason to hide.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nightwing licked the blood off his talons as he listened to Batgirl’s story, idly kicking the unconscious gangster at his feet every so often.

“Why didn’t you just kill him, Fatgirl?” Robin huffed from Nightwing’s side and the imp ruffled the tiefling’s hair, carefully avoiding his horns.

“Killing shouldn’t be your go-to option, hdiiga,” he chirped.

“Don’t do that! You’re getting saliva and common blood in my hair!” Robin snarled, slapping away his hand.

Nightwing smirked and leaned down to lick a speck of blood off his youngest brother’s cheek, pulling back quickly when Robin screeched and tried to punch him.

“I’d say it’s an improvement,” Red Hood teased as he finished tying up the gangster he’d had taken down.

“Mind your place or I will put you back in your grave!”

Wiping some blood off his mouth, Hood smiled at Robin. “Go right ahead. I could use the nap.”

“If you’re counting on me to resurrect you, I’ll remind you that the last time I did that, you tried to banish me,” Red Robin said, not looking up from the laptop he was hacking into as his shadows soaked up the blood on him.

Nightwing and Batgirl groaned as the zombie and demon settled into a familiar argument.

“Well maybe if you’d brought me back properly as you did for your blonds, then I wouldn’t have tried to banish you.”

“That was different! I was less experienced when I brought you back!”

“I should have been easier to bring back! I was already a zombie!”

“EXACTLY! You came with a bunch of extra complications!”

“Are you two ever going to let this go?” Batgirl asked, eyes on the gangster she had knocked out. His face was twitching with distress as she twirled her fingers across his forehead, occasionally pulling them away to see the small moment of peace he got before she began brushing them across his forehead again. The revenant looked up at Robin and winked. “And killing’s boring, Human-Bird. Everything ends way too fast.”

Robin clicked his tongue. “I will never understand why we should waste our time torturing someone who has nothing worth telling? If we’re not going to kill them then why bother attacking them at all?”

“Because it’s fun?” Nightwing and Batgirl said together.

“There’s always something you can get out of someone, even if it’s just sustenance?” Red Robin offered.

Hood shrugged when the tiefling turned to him. “Don’t look at me. I’m the white sheep, remember. The only reason I could give you is that listening to B lecture about maintaining appearances by limiting deaths and going after insignificant criminals gets really annoying after a while, and that’s never stopped me.”

“Are you five done?” Oracle’s hissing voice echoed through the alley as the green mist that had been hovering across the ground began to rise in serpentine forms.

“Just finished downloading the data you wanted,” Red Robin said, closing the laptop and passing a thumb drive to the snake coiling up him.

“Alright, the police are three minutes out so either clean yourselves up or get out of there.”

“I will head in. I need to wash off the common blood and,” Robin glared at Nightwing, “saliva.”

The imp smiled back unrepentantly. “I’ll go with you, hdiiga.”

“I should probably take off as well,” Hood said as the two left. “I still need to check on a few things in my territory. Maybe grab another bite to eat.”

“Please clean up after yourself this time. I don’t exist just to disappear all your bodies.”

“Yeah, yeah, I’ll behave. Not really in the mood for a lecture from His Majesty anyways,” Hood said with an eye roll and swatted the serpent on him off so he could grapple away.

“Guess it’s just you and me on babysitting duty, Red,” Batgirl said. She stood up and stretched before walking over to Red Robin. “Mind helping a lady freshen up?”

The demon snorted, but his shadows rose to clean the blood off her. As they waited, Red Robin raised his guise to make him appear human and Batgirl pulled up her scarf to hide the part of her pure-white face that wasn’t covered by the cowl.

Once they’d gone through the motions with the humans, Red Robin took off on his bike and Batgirl headed up to the roofs.

“Alright, O. Take me home!”

The green mist that had nearly disappeared in the presence of the humans flared to life and condensed into a large serpent that coiled around the revenant until she couldn’t see anything but green. The mist dispersed after a moment, leaving her standing within a summoning circle at the center of the Clocktower.

Oracle was sitting in front of her at a desk surrounded by computer screens and candles with green flames. A scrying bowl sat in front of her and a laptop was across her lap. As Batgirl stepped out of the circle, the scrying bowl stopped glowing and the candles went out all at once. The otherworlder set her keyboard on her desk and spun her chair around to face Batgirl, the white light fading from her eyes and the light from the screen catching eerily on the cracks across her skin that kept her from glamoring.

As she pulled down her cowl, Stephanie tossed Barbara a pendant glowing with psychic energy. “Brought home dinner!”

“Thanks. Your dinner is in the oven. Tiết canh.”

“You’re the best!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hdiiga is an Impish term. It directly translates to mean an infant imp, but it more generally is used as a term of endearment used by parents for their children or older siblings for their younger siblings.

For the record since they didn't appear:

Bruce is a demon king from the same demonic realm as Tim

Selina is a demigoddess who was granted powers by a cat goddess and, as a result, can reincarnate up to nine times

Helena is a cambion that came about as a result of a shared night between Bruce and one of Selina's past lives

Talia is completely human as was Damian's father (Damian's tiefling traits are a result of Talia and Ra's infusing Damian with Bruce's power during his time in the incubator in hopes of earning Demon!Bruce's favor. They are not aware that Demon!Bruce and Batman!Bruce are the same person)

Bernard is also a revenant (he and Steph were the blonds Jason mentioned)

Fast and Furious Timeline Explained (Including F9)

https://ift.tt/35RIciY

When the Fast and Furious franchise started in 2001, it’s doubtful anyone working on it expected they were launching a mythology so trenchant it’d still be going 20 years later in a film with the words “Fast Saga” in its full title. But here we are on the opening weekend of F9: The Fast Saga, and the series is so beloved it’s expected to resurrect the theatergoing box office once more. And you know? Thank goodness, mi familia.

Sometimes there’s nothing nicer than spending your summer situated around a grill with a couple of cold ones, reminiscing about old times with loved ones. And if we ever spent a full day at one of the Toretto clan’s barbecues, we’d likely hear a lot more exciting tales that begin with “remember that time…” After all, what other family can talk about that time they stole a literal vault out of Rio de Janeiro? Or that other time Luke Hobbs caught a torpedo with his bare hands; and Trej and Roman over there, they launched a Pontiac into space! With them in it!

There have been some crazy times with this group. Hence we’ve created this handy-dandy timeline for those who are struggling to remember when and where things went down…

* Editor’s Note: After Fast & Furious (2009), the franchise gets intentionally vague and fuzzy about the time and years between events, so exact dates are left somewhat up to interpretation.

1989

Dominic and Jakob Toretto work as mechanics on their father Jack Toretto’s professional stock car. During the last race of the season, Jack asks Jakob to help him throw the race, but Jack is killed in the sabotaged accident. Dom thinks Jakob murdered their father. (F9)

Dom beats another pro driver named Kenny Linder near to death with a wrench, as he is at least partially responsible for the carnage of Jack’s crash. Dom is sentenced to prison for five years. (The Fast and the Furious, F9)

1991

Dominic Toretto is released from prison after two years. The first thing he does when he gets out is challenge Jakob to a street race. If Dom wins, Jakob will leave Los Angeles and never return. He’ll also shut off all communication with Dom and their sister Mia. Jakob loses. (F9)

Letty goes to Brian O’Conner, who is now an FBI agent. She attempts to clear her and Dom’s records by infiltrating a Mexican drug cartel run by Arturo Braga. Unfortunately, Arturo figures out Letty’s deception and runs her off the road, blowing up her car, which leads everyone to think she died (including Brian and Dom). In truth, she was saved from the wreckage by Gisele Yashar, a secret CIA operative who also infiltrated the Braga cartel. She takes Letty to the hospital.

The other driver is Deckard Shaw, who is here to kill Han in order to send Dom Toretto a message: he’s coming for the Family. He calls Dom to taunt him as he thinks Han burns.
