I would love for like Adrien to find a lost 4 year old at one of his photo shoots and after conformting the child and trying to help him find his parents the kid yells mommy! And runs to damian and Marinette
So so sorry for being so inactive. It’s been a crazy semester and I haven’t been able to sit down and write as much as I had hoped. (Side note, If you sent a request, I promise I will get to it. I never overlook them unless they are the same request twice. I will only answer one if it’s the same prompt :))
There were three or four of these requests in my inbox all slightly different but based on this same idea! So I hope you enjoy this :)
Just Like You
Adrien knew one thing was absolute in this world.
Photoshoots always were and always would be the bane of his existence.
He thought that when his father left him in charge of the company so that he and Nathalie could travel the world, he could lay off on the photoshoots, hire some new faces. What a naive wish. He should’ve known that his father would have booked him to wear all of the upcoming designs and deadlines for the next two years.
“Alright guys, let’s call it quits for now and take an hour lunch. Everyone meet back here by 1.”
Adrien sighed as he slipped off the jacket he was wearing, handing it off to the intern before stepping out of their cornered off section of the park. What to eat for lunch was the only question plaguing his mind as he unconsciously stepped toward Andre’s cart conveniently set up a mere 20 feet from their site.  He was so close to his tasty snack when a cry pierced his ears.
His eyes swept the park looking for the culprit only pausing once they landed on a small child collapsed by the water fountain, their face buried in tiny hands.
Nobody seemed to be rushing to their aid, in fact, it was as if all of Paris was trying to ignore the girl’s cries as they scurried to wherever they were in such a hurry to be. Typical. His eyes glanced once more longingly at the ice cream cart before his feet turned on their path. He tried to approach as slowly as possible stopping a couple of feet from the child, careful to not scare her off.
“Are you okay, sweetheart?”
She didn’t even bother to look up, her wails echoing off the marble of the fountain. Adrien wasn’t sure what to do. He had worked with kids before in photoshoots, but he truly had no personal experience with them.
“Why are you crying?”
There was still no answer. He didn’t know what he was expecting. Just because he changed the question didn’t mean she was going to automatically talk to him. So instead, he remained crouched, hoping he could wait her out before his lunch break ended.
“Mom-Mommy told me not to talk to strangers sir.”
Her french was jagged, much like it was a language in progress. She was definitely from out of town. That concerned Adrien more than anything else. Hawkmoth may have fallen off the face of the Earth, but that didn’t mean every scum followed suit.
“That’s good advice from your mom. Is she with you today?”
Adrien regretted the words the minute they flew from his mouth. Her whole body stiffened as if she suddenly remembered her situation.
“I don’t know. She told me to stay put, but I saw this pretty butterfly and I thought it was one of mommy’s friends. So I tried to chase and after it and when it went bye-bye, I didn’t know where I was.”
Slowly, her head tilted to the side, her watery eyes drilling into his as if she wasn’t sure whether to cry or attack. The look, however, wasn’t what sucked all the air out of his surroundings.
“My God, you look just like her.”
The child turned her whole body, her face morphing from hostile to curious. It was as if some Akuma had hit Marinette Dupain-Cheng shrinking her to the size of one four-year-old girl. She was identical to the girl he had cared for save for her eyes. Instead of the mesmerizing blue he had gotten lost in so many times, they were a striking emerald green.
“Can we get some ice cream?”
Adrien blinked twice as if waking from a strange dream.
“From that cart over there?”
Her little finger nearly poked his eye out as she motioned behind him to where Andre stood.
“I-I-um,” his voice hadn’t cracked in years, was he going to hit puberty again? “I thought I was a stranger. You can’t get ice cream with a stranger.”
Gone were her tears and in their place stood a dazzling smile of tiny peals.
“You’re right, but you’re not gonna hurt me, mister. I can tell by your eyes. Daddy always tells me to check the eyes.”
Without another word, she skipped past Adrien forcing him to chase after her retreating figure. She had just reached the cart when a frantic voice stopped her order in its tracks.
“Amelia Martha Wayne, Where are you?”
“Mommy!”
It was as if she completely had forgotten about her ice cream as she pushed past Adrien’s legs leaving him frozen in place. That voice. He hadn’t heard it in so many months, so many years. It stilled his racing heart.
“Mommy, mommy, do you want some ice cream? This nice man was about to pay for some!”
Instantly Adrien felt his senses heightened. It felt as if he was seconds away from his death bed.
“I promise Marinette, it wasn’t like that!”
Adrien whipped around, his hands straight up in the air only to come face to face with a shorter, very angry face. His fist was already balled, raised in the air as if he was going to clobber Adrien from behind.
“Damian! Wait!” In an instance, a flash of black hair jumped between him and his would-be assailant. “I know him! You remember my partner, right? This is Adrien!”
The words didn’t seem to ebb at his anger, but he slowly lowered his fist, reaching down to scoop up the little girl instead. Adrien released the breath he didn’t even know he was holding.
“That is you, right Marinette?”
He felt like time itself had frozen as she turned, that familiar smile blinding his vision. 
She had matured. Her smile no longer held the naivety and love from when they were younger, but it was just as bright and welcoming. He couldn’t help his own smile that pulled at his lips. She was just as intoxicating as ever. And she was-
His eyes landed on the small bump protruding from her stomach.
“Hey Kitty, it’s been a while.” Her eyes followed his to where they remained glued on her midsection. “Oh yes, a lot has happened the past few years. Please, allow me to introduce my husband Damian and our daughter Amelia.”
His eyes shot back up, the red swallowing his face as he shot his hand out to accept the man’s extended hand in front of him.
“Very nice to meet you Damian, and of course, you as well Amelia,”
The man didn’t utter a word, his face still contorted into the snarl he had upon arriving. Adrien felt as though his voice was stuck in the back of his throat. How could this small man be so intimidating?
“Set call! Ten minutes people, ten minutes!”
Adrien’s eyes widened as he yanked his phone from his back pocket. There was no way that he had wasted his entire break, he hadn’t even had lunch yet!
“I remember that sound, we should be heading out cause I doubt Amelia has given you any time to eat.” Her playful glare earned a giggle from the little girl who mouthed a sorry to him. “But we should catch up before we head back to the States! Just text me when you’re free.”
Her smile was still warm, her eyes still shining with love, but there was one difference from the Marinette he used to know. All of that love was no longer directed at him. He watched as she intertwined her hand with the man beside her, turning to leave the park, the giggle of her and Amelia echoing in his ears. He wanted to reach out, ask them to stay longer, watch the shoot for old time's sake. But as they retreated further away, he couldn’t find it in him to bring her back to the past.
He chuckled quietly to himself, turning to rush to Andre’s cart before he had to return to the life he had chosen.
“I’m happy for you Marinette and that little girl of yours, well,” he spared one last glance over his shoulder, Amelia’s smile just as blinding as the one from his childhood “she looks just like you.”

Soulmate AU part 5!!
First ‱ Previous ‱ Here ‱ Next
Tim growled as he kept searching. There were no messages sent from Paris in the last five years in the League’s database. There weren’t any mention of a Hawkmoth, a Ladybug, or a Chat Noir in any news site. As far as he could tell, the girl had been lying to him almost entirely.
Except that she was Damian’s soulmate. And there was no faking the sheer exhaustion in her eyes when she spoke about Paris being besieged for the last four years.
And his gut was telling him to keep looking.
After an hour, and switching his location so he appeared to be operating out of France, he finally found two leads- one, a juvenile blog that had some questionable information interspersed with straight up tabloid trash, and the other an app, which he eagerly downloaded to his phone, waiting.
Finally the app popped up, showing a little Ladybug icon, and he clicked it. LadyBugOut! Sprung to life on his screen, and he perused the small icons. Small and stylized animals, a ladybug, a black cat, a bee, a turtle, a fox, a snake, a dragon, a peacock, and a butterfly. From what he remembered of his chat with Marinette, one of the heroes was Ladybug, so he clicked it.
It showed him a long line of posts, mostly videos. The girl in them was short, with dark blue-black hair and bright blue eyes, and a glaringly red and black spotted suit and mask.
“Salut, Paris! Back again with an update and a few things to address regarding the recent akuma, Lady Silence.”
He flicked to the next one.
“Salut, Paris, I’m here with Reine Abeille today,” the camera moves to another hero in yellow and black, blond hair in a high bun as opposed to Ladybug’s pigtails. “You’ve all sent in quite a few questions, and we wanted to take the time to respond today!”
“Salut, Paris! Just a quick update, I know many of you have been wondering about the recent addition to our team, Viperion.”
“Salut, Paris. I’d like to start this video with a moment of silence and recognition for the 73 lives lost in the recent attack by-“
Tim pauses it. A team of four, possibly more heroes? Perhaps nine to match the icons? A publicly revered and loved hero, to the point where she does question and answers with them. A villain that caused a death toll of seventy three people less than a month ago.
How in the world could they have missed this?
“By Evilutionist. We ask that if you know one of these victims you reach out to them and offer a hand, a hug, or even just a smile as they go about their days.”
He leant back in his chair, bewildered. Lives lost, but still there to be comforted, and going about their lives?
He got up to go find another cup of coffee. He was starting to understand how long his night was going to be.
Before he started watching through the whole long list of posts, he checked the other tabs. The black cat had a map that was currently inactive, but also logs of past maps detailing a red line, a purple line, and a larger area shaded in grey. They were labeled accordingly, Ladybug’s Path, Akuma’s Path, and Area of Attack/Destruction.
There were hundreds of maps logged.
The Bee contained large organized lists of homes and businesses that had registered as safe shelters during akuma attacks, a compilation of helplines and websites where you could learn more about staying safe during an attack, how to stay prepared and aware, and what necessities to keep stocked in cases of longer term akuma attacks.
The Fox seemed open to the public, where they could present their own posts alongside Ladybug’s about good, happy things.
The Turtle was a series of videos and posts about relaxation, meditation, coping, and self-care that could build the emotional strength to resist akumas.
The Dragon was a series of videos featuring another superhero- he assumed it was the Dragon themed one- and Ladybug, demonstrating self defense techniques and other strategies for avoiding, outrunning, fighting, or otherwise protecting yourself from akumas.
The Snake was, to his surprise, just a series of playlists, seemingly cultivated by each hero.
The Peacock held another map, also inactive, until the app chimed loudly. As he watched, a notification popped up, similar to an Emergency Alert System notification, that said in all capitals, AKUMA ATTACK.
He pressed the X on it, and watched as the Black Cat symbol seemed to glow green. He switched back, and the map was now accessible, a purple dot glowing near the Eiffel Tower. It started moving, and the shaded grey filled in around it, following the dot. He turned back to his computer and started searching frantically for some sort of news coverage. After a minute, he found a Facebook profile and opened it, and someone’s livestream was rolling.
He looked back at his phone to see that the red Ladybug dot had appeared near the edge of the grey, closing in on the purple dot. The livestream drew him back. It showed an apartment view of the Seine, and the road of broken detritus that trailed behind the akuma’s path.
“-Quel connard ne passe pas une bonne nuit alors, je suppose, mais honnĂȘtement, cela ne devrait pas ĂȘtre mon problĂšme.” The camera flipped to the face of a tired woman. “J’ai du travail en quatre heures et je ne me suis endormi que trois heures plus tĂŽt, mais un trou du cul supersonique fait voler en Ă©clats les fenĂȘtres de gauche et de droite.” The camera flipped again, showing not the view but the clearly broken window. “Baise ça, mec, j'essaye de DORMIR,”
-some asshole isnt having a good night then, i guess, but honestly that shouldnt be my problem. ive got work in four hours and i only fell asleep three hours ago but some supersonic asshole is shattering windows left and right. fuck this, dude, im trying to SLEEP,
The feed went silent as the akuma lunged back into view down by the water. It was a large red woman, with wires that sprouted from her and trailed along like muscles, enhancing what seemed to be the speakers that her body was made of.
He could see her open her mouth and roar, right as a smaller red figure bounded in, dodging the concentrated sound blast and grabbing something from around her neck and snapping it in half.
The woman on the street reverted in a flash of light to a more normal appearance, and Tim watched awestruck as Ladybug tossed her yo-yo into the air and shouted something.
The wave of light that spread outward was dazzling, lighting up Paris’ night sky. In front of the camera, as the light washed over the holder, their window was suddenly whole and unbroken again. The street beneath was clean.
“Merci, Ladybug,” the tired narrator muttered. “Bonne nuit.”
The camera shut off.
Tim stared, awestruck.
“She fixes it all,” he breathed. “That’s why she was talking about people being alive after they die, they come back to life. She fixes all the damage. It probably destroys most records of the damage as well.”
The app was accessible because of her direct part in making it, he would assume. He saved the video.
Time to get Bruce.

so we have entered 2021. lets hope it's better than the last year has been. it's been tough for me and many others and im glad i made it out healthy and relatively happy.
2020 also gave me a new light to distract me from the not so positive things in life. F1 really got me trough a depressing time in life. And with F1 came a lovely community on tumblr. Special shout out to some of my favorite blogs @blesshimnorris @formulola @landoavocado @mclarenz-inactive @mercedes-russell @eeveesjourney @formulaur @happyself @albonoo @weraceasone @simpcedes-amg @norristroll and many more, im sorry if i didn't add you. Im drunk so i will forget people.
I didn't speak to all of you much, but i wish i had. Hopefully i will find the courage this year to get to know each other more.
Happy new year to you all. May it be a great year!

ESMO 2019 – Amgen’s KRAS drug finds colorectal cancer a challenge
Tumblr media
Amgen’s KRAS inhibitor AMG 510 has shown little effect in colorectal cancer patients, according to new data reported at the ESMO congress in Barcelona.
The highly-anticipated drug went into ESMO on a wave of enthusiasm driven by positive results in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) reported at the ASCO conference in the US earlier this year.
AMG 510 was however able to achieve just one partial response out of 12 colorectal cancer patients who had received the 960 mg target dose in the ESMO update on the phase 1 study, which is being conducted in multiple solid tumour types expressing the KRAS G12C biomarker.
Amgen pointed to the fact that 10 of the patients had stable disease, which translates to a 92% disease control rate, but the results give the first indication that KRAS may not be broadly effective against KRAS-positive cancers, at least as a monotherapy.
Amgen reprised data in NSCLC which were more promising, with seven partial responses out of 13 patients (54%) and stable disease in the remaining six. And it also provided details of one partial response seen in two patients with appendiceal cancer, with the other patient showing disease stabilisation.
The main objective of the phase 1 trial was to show safety, and on that score Amgen’s drug performed pretty well, and the company was quick to point out that the colorectal cancer population under test was heavily pre-treated with a very poor prognosis.
One of the investigators in the trial – Marwan Fakih of City of Hope Hospital in Duarte, California – noted that the patients would be expected to have a median progression-free survival of just over two months “so to see patients still on treatment at the target dose after more than three months is very encouraging.”
“We are encouraged by these early results, particularly since these patients have progressed after receiving a median of four prior therapies, and in some cases as many as 10,” said Amgen’s head of R&D Davide Reese.
“The data suggest there are relevant molecular differences between tumour types. We are initiating combination studies to further explore the potential of AMG 510 in lung and colorectal tumours.”
For years researchers have been trying to develop inhibitors for KRAS but have been unsuccessful given the structure of the molecule – it has limited pockets where a drug agent could bind.
Amgen solved that issue when it discovered that the G12C mutation – which occurs in around 13% of NSCLC cases and up to 5% of colorectal cancers – could be targeted and made to irreversibly force KRAS into an inactive state.
Its success has sparked renewed interest in the KRAS field, and other companies including Mirati, Novartis and Boehringer Ingelheim are now pursuing the target, once considered “undruggable”.
For now Amgen is well in the lead, with AMG 510 the only KRAS drug to have clinical data available at ESMO. Mirati has said it should have first results with its MRTX849 candidate in the next two to three months.
The post ESMO 2019 – Amgen’s KRAS drug finds colorectal cancer a challenge appeared first on .

Of Missile Bases and Drag Races – Reference Mark
You know you are traversing an active military installation when the walkie-talkie squawks, “Turn right at the missile.”
The Motor Trend and Studio TEN crews are filming this year’s version of the World’s Greatest Drag Race here at Vandenberg Air Force Base, and we are quickly reminded of its critical role in America’s arsenal.
As the Cold War heated up in the 1960s, Vandenberg’s function as our premier missile testing center made it an essential military site. But as global relations simmered to dĂ©tente and glasnost, Vandenberg became known less as the epicenter of West Coast intercontinental ballistic missile testing and more as the test and launch center for countless Air Force, NASA, and Department of Defense satellites. More recently it’s been the launch site for Elon Musk’s SpaceX team, as well.
Watch the World’s Greatest Drag Race 7 HERE.
But the original mission remains imprinted on the airmen and officers posted here, perhaps more so now as international tensions are once again percolating. Although there are no live nukes on the base, Vandenberg remains America’s launch pad to ensure our missile technology is on target.
One airman frames his job description with a spin on the old Domino’s Pizza slogan, “We deliver in 30 minutes or less, or the next one is free.” It’s a confident refrain from the military personnel who have a continual, cautious connection with a please-don’t-ever-let-it-happen atomic event.
I have a personal connection to Vandenberg. My late father was a bona fide rocket scientist, his career wending through our nation’s missile and satellite systems. As a boy, I recall the numerous times he was away from home for a launch at Vandenberg. I remember because seeing a rocket launch is about as cool as it gets. Of course, there’s no Take Your Kid To Work Day when you are launching top-secret satellites, so I had to imagine the spectacular plumes of vapor trailing a rocket as it slipped the surly bonds of Earth.
With my dad on my mind, I follow our escorted convoy through Vandenberg’s sprawling 99,000 oceanfront acres north of Santa Barbara. The Motor Trend crew doesn’t have time for an official guided tour, and we are occasionally cautioned, “Please don’t point your cameras over there,” in reference to certain hush-hush sections of the base. We all had been vetted thoroughly before our arrival, and our movement and itinerary had been planned to the minute, but the amount of cooperation and latitude the base personnel gave us was astonishing for its flexibility and accommodation.
We arrive at Vandenberg’s main airstrip—2.84 miles of immaculate tarmac—with our field of 12 supercars prepped for this year’s edition of the World’s Greatest Drag Race. The runway is inactive this Saturday, giving us the freedom to film our Motor Trend OnDemand (and YouTube) production.
Endless takes are needed to produce a seamless video, and many hands are required to help with the logistics of wrangling a dozen cars. In addition to granting us access to the base, Vandenberg’s top brass had told a squad of our nation’s finest servicemen and women to assist on this sparkling, breezy Saturday—a call of duty far different from their regular obligations.
Every single military man and woman present had the stern eyes, squared shoulders, and crisp bearing straight out of a recruiting poster. By proximity alone, I seemed to improve my slouchy civilian posture. But more than providing their steely presence, the base personnel helped make the production hum so briskly we finished an hour ahead of schedule.
On behalf of Motor Trend, I would like to recognize the men and women of Vandenberg Air Force Base for their brave service, for allowing us use of their facilities, and for their much-appreciated assistance in the production of the World’s Greatest Drag Race. It never would have happened without the direction of 1st Lt. Travis Schirner, who coordinated logistics with Vandenberg and the Pentagon. Special thanks, too, goes to the base commanders who greenlit the operation: Col. Michael Hough and retired Col. J. Christopher Moss. We thank you and salute you.
