Fundamental Flaws

So one interesting thing i noticed about the League's flaws, is that the things that kept them from working together at the start, remained the basic flaws that prevented them from helping each other overcome their own flaws.

Namely that they all joined together out of convinience, and they never really got to the level where that actually changed.

When Himiko joins the league, she introduces herself with her seemingly rather confusing motives, namely that she wants a world that is easier for her to live in.

Shigaraki does not understand her wishes at all, and of course lashes out shortly after this after dabi has introduced himself as well, having deemed both of them as not the sort he wants to hang around him.

Dabi by contrast doesnt even try to explain his motives or goals beyond the very vague "fullfill stain's will."

The end result of this is that Shigaraki doesnt even attempt to understand either, and decides to just kill them.

The funny thing is... this kinda attitude never really changes.

Compress even notes it as one of the main reasons he loved the league so much. it didnt pry into his backstory and just took him in regardless.

This attitude is what managed to bring the league together as a force... but it also prevented them from truly truly growing as a group.

Because of the fact nobody wanted or even tried to learn each other's backstories and deeper motivations, none of them ever managed or tried to Help Dabi make a possible future for himself where he could get his vengeance on Endeavor, and still get to live afterwards, instead they just let him burn on, even encouraging him to do so, with the end result that he came to a hellish innevitable march towards death.

Dabi himself tried to help Toga emotionally by setting her childhood home ablaze and rally her heart towards vengeance and freedom, because that's what he is motivated by, but he completely failed to understand what she actually wanted out of life, the reason why out of the entire league, the only person she was able to transform into was Twice, because he was the only one who actually tried to understand her.

This in turn means that Toga ultimately ended up seeking what she truely wanted amongst the heroes, and finally found in uraraka, what she had been afraid to seek/never got from most of the league.

Something that ultimately cost them the war.

this is best showcased when Shigaraki actually lays out his motivations and feelings for villainy, and the rest of his crew(other than spinner) is either completely disinterested, dissapointed or confused.

None of them actually cares about Shigaraki's motives other than spinner, not even Twice.

only spinner and the doctor(who doesnt give a shit about Shigaraki himself) actually cares at all.

of the rest, the only one who even attempts to understand Shigaraki is Toga, and not because she cares about how he feels about it, but because she begun to realise that her goals and interests are ultimately incompatible with shigaraki's(something that would come to fruition during the final arc).

Out of the league, the only one who even tried to understand and did care about shigaraki's motives, and attempted to figure out how they allign with his own wishes, is spinner, and it's not a coincidence that at the very end, he is the only one Shigaraki left his final words to, even if Shigaraki loved the other main members of the league.

The five people Shigaraki Tomura truly cared about in his hearts of hearts at the end... But even here where his feelings are laid bare, there is also another, sad truth.

Kurogiri, the man who effectively cared for Shigaraki as his own son isnt included amongst them.

Kurogiri is a rather complicated character, but it's clear by his final words, that he truly loved the league, just like compress did, and hoped they would be reunited in whatever came next.

It's not clear WHY shigaraki felt like this(maybe once he learned the man was a Nomu that pretty much sealed his ability to think of him as an actual person) but it goes to hammer in the fact that the league was just on a fundamental level not able to try to reach out and understand the motivations of each other.

the main exception to this, and the only one who seems to at least have wanted to understand everyone else is Twice, withouth any doubt the true heart of the League of Villains. The only one who everyone, even cold, brutal dabi considered a close friend.

he is the only one who understood Toga, who always opened his heart bare for the entire league, and when it seemed Hawks was about to join that number, he did everything he could to make him feel welcome and to actually understand what hawks was teaching him.

it's not a coincidence that it is when he dies, that the league really begins to come loose at the seams.

Dabi completely loses it in a way he hasnt done since the time he snapped and tried to kill shoto as a baby, and afterwards any and all morals and reservations completely evaporates in his heart, which is is replaced by a fire that doesnt go out until he literarily cant do anything anymore, having become a burnt out husk.

Toga as to confront the fact that she is living in a fantasy and has to actually commit to the league and it's goals or go her own way.

Mr compress tries to step up to fill in the void Twice left behind, but the grandpa of the group ultimately realizes that somebody is gonna have to sacrifice it all, and decides that like any good father figure, the duty will fall to him. Thus any wisdom he might have been able to impart to the next generation is lost when he becomes the next leaguer to fall right after twice.

But he could have shared these bits of wisdom at any time before this... his goals, his background, the origins of his unique insight into the world. But he didnt. only here, at the very end is he willing to put all of his cards on the table for the league he loved so much.

Spinner doubles down of his friendship to shigaraki, but in the process lets all of his other relationships in the league falter in the hour when they matter the most, when everyone needs to stick together, and by doing so ultimately fails shigaraki as well by not reaching out to him as he's suffering.

Withouth twice and compress, Shigaraki in his most critical hour, when the question of wheter he or AFO will rule this new body, has nobody who has no reservations about reaching out to him to try to be his emotinal support, with all the rest of the league literarily just standing by listening/staring at this mental battle as he suffers.

In essence, all of the leagues problems and weaknesses could have been solved if they had actually been willing to talk to each other to understand their respective ideas and goals in life.

Instead, they did the opposite of what the members of 1-A and aizawa did, and let everything foster and grow until the rot destroyed all of them from the inside out.

It is just going on 3am on a hellish nightshift here is a new fic idea ima going to possibly play with when I figure out how to decipher what the fuck I am talking about later:

So this fic is based on the 90s Sabretooth story line of him :finding out he has a son, his babe was actually Raven in disguise, Birdy technically betrayed him but he was being a dick and a bad boss so kinda does deserve that but then she dies because the son he just found out about kills her and then him going in search of someone who could help him

Like one thing I love about that storyline of what happened afterwards was you could see that he was spiraling. He was guilty and afraid of himself and he wanted help so badly.

I wanna write a fic where instead of the X-Men finding him and capturing him (and thus starting the worst kind of rehabilitation ever and that is saying something in the marvel universe where you have even sinister as a better therapist than the x-men in those comics 😬) Victor gets kidnapped and taken into space. By Young Justice (the orginal 90s crew)

Completely by accident mind you. They don’t even realise he is there until after the get out of the solar system and by then it is too late to turn back.

See the young justice crew are on a Mission tm to reunite Dex Starr with the red lanterns and even tho Sabretooth threatens them and the such, our teens have the powers of literal gods and a red lantern on their side; so Vic ends up sort of an unwanted guest.

Sabretooth is still spiraling down and both wants to kill these annoying kids but is trying very very hard to keep himself in check. Like, he wants to not kill them. Birdy used to get angry when she saw that he had killed kids in the past but would always help sooth his guilt about it. Give him the glow.

(What he don’t know in this AU Birdy put a little impulse to keep him from wanting to attack and kill kids, one that plays on his guilt about it. Cause you know she is a telepath and should be able to do such things)

Thing is, Victor accidentally becomes the only adult supervision this kids have and through a series of side missions, teenaged tantrums and heart to heart about things happening (because in canon there was a lot going on and that shit would have really added up and spilt over as soon as those kids got a moment to breathe) Victor becomes attached and finds that his urge to kill and his blood lust was settling.

A little. It was still very much there. They are attacked several times over and Victor (despite this kids protest) never leaves any survivors for those who dare to hurt HIS kids.

He kills and kills and even tho the kids flinch when they see him covered in blood and growling like the beast he is, the kids still take care of him. They are fond of him, for whatever stupid reason. They joke and call him their den mother. They listen to him, when things were getting tough and they needed help (when they needed someone to guide them through a mess they had no experience or no way of knowing how to navigate)

He calms. Slowly but surely, his urges calm. He focuses his attention on these kids. Children who were in a deadly game that only adults should play. Child soldiers to men and women who seem to forget that these are children. Children who cried in Victors arms as they spoke to him about their parents. About endless expectations set for them or the cold truth of death. Children who have never know what true parental care was (though neglect, indifference, circumstance of birth ect) and now he was there needing to provide it

And you know all that hella fucking trauma these babies have gone through

And Victor can’t help but wonder when the kids fall asleep in a pile behind him as he flies their ship, if he had been given the chance, would he have been able to raise Graydon into a good man? A kind man? Maybe someone who would be better than him? Better than his mother.

He does not think he truely cares that his son was human. Not really. He was not hung up on the whole mutan/ human thing others of his kind were. The boy had been healthy, a grown, what more could he have truely cared for if not that?

Birdy was dead. Gone. So many others were too. Half his memories did not make sense and the ones that did showed endless death and pain.

Did he have brothers? A sister? Had he murdered his mother? He knows he killed his father. He was sure of it. After what was done to him, he would never have left the man alive.

Would he?

There were things missing. Things he doesn’t understand. He memory was a mess and the more he tried to think on it, the more his head started to hurt and the blood would take over his mind.

The shitty bird brat told him to focus on his memories of now. That when he gets himself back to earth (or when they deliver him back home as the kids insisted on saying) robin the kid wonder, would look into his past. That the little shit was just as good as Batman and would find out the truth for him.

The little bird, the clone, the ghost, the girls with more spunk then braincells, the boy out of time, the werid little one who had a bigger version of him hanging about and the angry cat;

In the time they were stuck in that little ship, Victor finds peace. Finds something that the glow only imitated :

The feeling of safety and family.

Ofc this all goes to hell because Victor cannot have nice things.

Part 2 of this will be done tonight? Or this afternoon? Idk my break is nearly over and I gotta get back to the ward. I will post more on this cause I have ideas 💡

Kitty not going to be happy when kiddies get taken away 😈😈😈

Yeah, thats about what happens in the end. Though Isao and the souls that Tiny is made up off, Kafka will get through it. It just takes a while given his natual kind nature and the truma he got all those years ago.

And remember what I told you about Kafka brining Soshiro, Narumi, 10 and 1 to the next level due to the dreamscape?

Well, one of the biggest surprises for the four is when they meet Kafka there, he is in his human form. Neither human have really seen what Kafka looked like as a human, aside from the picture found in the Mirage Company's files which was sickly looking at best. Its a lot to take in really, as seeing what Kafka would have looked liked now if he stayed human hit the two officer in a way thats unsettling at best.

They are also in a white space of sorts as well. With the only other thing beside themself and Kafka being simple large rocks that they all can sit on. Which they do as Kafka has some importent things to tell them before the training really starts.

And thats how Soshiro, Narumi, 10 and 1 gets to experience what Kafka did in the last few chapters up until now. Getting to personally experience what happened that day, dressed as the ancient warriors themself and turely see what they are really up against. And what Kafka has kept secret up until now about something only he knew thanks to Tiny and the other souls.

Its when they hear a unknow voice that the four turn around and see that Kafka has brought company. His own ancestor who is staring at them with a gleam in his eyes that makes them all nervous. And Tiny in his larva form.

Kafka is also looking at them, a serious look on him that feels out of place to them all. When he asks if they truely feel ready for what he has instore to get them to the next level, it does not take long for the four to nod.

When Soshiro, Narumi and 10 wakes up hours later. All three has some serious thinking to do to say the least.

Seeing Kafka in a human form would throw anyone off-guard. Moreso since if he's draped in an old time kimono like the stereotypical spirit. Though I imagine Soshiro and Narumi later getting a physical sketch with permission. All of them are in for some hellish training, huh? Especially now that they know what Tiny and No.9 truly are in a sense.

" RUIN doesn't have much steam in 'em anymore. " WAR flicks the cig to drop the ashes along the greens of the grass. The years didn't do much to help his utter lack of decorum, it seems. " About time for him to retire. " huff. Truely a shame when spirits of war like that 'em don't meet their proper end with rage, fire and steel, but. . this was a very natural thing. When that fire burns out, when all you've got is embers. . . you crave the peace.

War wouldn't deny him his rest, even if he pushed the stallion to ride off into hell one last time. He always was a bit of a softie. " The position's gonna be vacant soon. " [ for WAR and Günter ]

"Oh, the old git finally outta gas?" A charming comment from an offspring but it wasn't like Hellish beasts were really known for their maternal love or familial love. Being a stallion in the wild would have meant Gunter being chased out of his herd to begin with - so he didn't feel sad for Ruin's end finally meeting that giant war beast.

It was irritating at a point though since it just meant that now Gunter was no longer allowed the freedoms of roaming the lands as he saw fit. Though, at least he won't be bored under WAR's saddle. At the end of the day, he was created for this means, to carry War through the bloody fields of corpse and weapon alike. It was pretty sad though, no more blue skies and eating his fill to nap in a field he comes across. Or go galloping around withe Beschutzer whenever they wanted to look around on human settlements and the likes.

"Ah - hope you got me a new saddle, WAR?" He spoke with ease, moving to release his arms from leaning on the wooden fence between them and instead hop over it with a heavy thud. Dusting his gloves off and smiling as his golden iris shimmers with a flick of flame; "I'll fill the spot since you're asking so kindly."

Unironically my shrimp pulled me out of a hellish place in my life too. Truely amazing animals

jokes aside i think it’s amazing and heartwarming to see like 4chan incel bros perform the miracle of crawling out of that hole and becoming real human beings and chronicling their journey to realizing that they can be well adjusted happy normal dudes

[roo-root-of-evil-rp-blog]

Hello Ms. Roo, can I call you that? I have a question. And it's about an opinion you might have on this subject, well kinda two unrealated subjects mashed together that may or may not be taking place in your world as we speak, hehe...

Here it is, in your opinion whats more important? Two demons trying to figure out their oh so complicated relationship, or two humans on earth right now 𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 trying to figure out the 'kinks', as they call it to a portal that they plan to finish in order travel to 𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙩𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛? And they just so are about capable to? I would love to hear your thoughts on this idea, Ms. Roo. If you are willing to share of course. Anyways, have a hellish day, Ms. Roo.

Relationship advice from me, seriously~?

Honey asmodeus would give better advice then yours truely~

As for the idea of a portal to hell....

I'm interested~

[a-moment-to-breath]

It's fucking wild my life.

My feelings are comprised, strained maybe.

I'm annoyed as fuck honestly.

[mammon-rights]

Welp, I'm back now after how long of being away? These past weeks have been hellish and the oncoming ones might be the same way but idk if this situation could get better at all.

Personal rankings (Contains spoilers for all)

Other (David Ward): Miserable even before reaching Eskew, a city that then proceeds to torment him constantly. For a detailed summary, listen to the entirely of I Am In Eskew.

Daniel Powell: After a half year isolated in a remote archive with no privacy and being used as a conduit for an eldritch being (which destroys all of his relationships) he escapes what then becomes a localised warzone only to get re-kidnapped, shoved into a hellish dreamscape, and then experience (fully aware) having his internal organs violently removed and replaced with audio equipment. Promptly treated like a thing and/or a monster by everyone and still has his every action recorded. Doesn't even own most of his body. After being found by his one remaining friend (who's turn himself into something else) he promptly undergoes a second nonconsentual surgery and is left in a literal void for many additional months. You could argue him lower as his life before the horrors was pretty average and probably mellows out post-horrors.

Arthur Lester: Arthur has had a truely miserable life from his parents to his marriage to his daughter. Now he's had his eyes and various body parts nicked by an eldritch entity and is experiencing additonal horrors. He was in a coma. Went to a hellish dream reality also. He had to eat a guy. I believe he's attempted suicide. The reason I've got him in at #3 is that the eldritch entity in his head is kind of his bestie now, he's in mostly one piece, and nobody's questioning his personhood, but it's close.

Jonathan Sims: Orphaned from a young age and raised by a woman who resented him for it. Operating on very few friends. Has been kidnapped multiple times including once when he was moisturised in a warehouse for a month or so. Burned, stabbed, bargained away some ribs, failed to cut off his own finger, does not see himself as human (and neither does anyone else). If you gauge this at S5 he is however accompanied by someone who loves him and, here's the technicality, now literally wired such that the horrors bring him wonder rather than misery.

Doug Eiffel: In prison for a drunk driving incident that was his fault, then sent into space to be a test subject for a deadly virus. I think the most miserable bit is where he gets shot into space and constantly has to freeze-thaw himself in cryo to the point of frostbite, but Doug deals with a lot of mundane general misery. However he's the sort to find entertainment where he can and, well, remembers none of this.

Jónas Þórirsson: Great life up until the horrors. Literally signed up for the horrors and more specifically for the others to get consumed by them. Actively pursued the horrors with great interest. Yes he died in some underground caves kind of horribly but it amounted to an ordeal about as harrowing as Doug's Space Adventure and was not even as badly as his teammates. He's not even completely dead. Not especially miserable.

Cecil Palmer: Nightvale is horrific yes but within it, Cecil is living his best life. Husband, son, the wonders of a significantly smaller than previous universe. He's seen the horrors but is rarely truely miserable.

Juno Steel: Not technically a man, an excuse I am using for not being up to date with Penumbra for over a year now.

Others worth consideration:

The Red Valley lads

The Lobby Boy (The Hotel)

Most of the Dining In The Void cast

Mike Walters (WOE.BEGONE)

The way I wish I could just be moss or somethings 😕

[jophiel-shakes]

Can i ask for a romantic male reader x Sun and Moon headcanons, which reader is a daycare worker whos scared of robots? Ik this seems unlikely but he needs money thats why he got the job. How would Sun and Moon approach the reader and how they started dating? Thank youuu

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

note :: reader has a crippling fear of animatronics, but needs cash real bad. Great thing they’re in good hands with the daycare robots.

warning :: none

reader pronouns :: none used

relationship :: enemies to lovers?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Let’s face it, you’re broke.

And it you’re willing to prostitute yourself out to any paying job. Any.

You hoped that one of the hundred applications you sent to local stores would come back with an acceptance letter or phone call, and they did! Just not the job you were prepared for.

The massive pizzaplex down the road, the one filled with creepy crawly animatronics. Great. Just great.

Don’t forget, you’re working with one of them! Even better!

Your first day of work was pretty hellish. You were always tensed, looking over your shoulder and being prepared for some sort of confrontation with a machine. One of the map bots gave you a hell of a scare.

Once in the daycare, you got an even worse scare from Sun.

“Hello hello! Welcome to-”

You scream and fall over, right on your butt. Like a goat being paralysed.

He gasps, “oh no! I’m sorry dear friend, that must’ve hurt!”

You can only stare at him with anxiety ridden eyes and stiff limbs. He doesn’t seem to notice and continues to talk to you freely, whilst helping you up.

“You must be my new playmate! Welcome, welcome! I’m so sorry about the mess, dirty dirty! I’ll show you around.”

Throughout his little ‘tour’ you’re still with fear, no talking or moving. He doesn’t seem to notice (or care).

Sun is usually very ignorant of your fear, you only come across as shy to him.

Moon understands that you’re afraid and he plays on it a little bit, scaring you any chance he gets. It’s all for fun though, he never had and plans to truely frighten you.

Because Sun’s attitude is as bright as ever, it becomes easier to warm up to him first.

Honestly Sun is completely smitten with you, so he’s just constantly throwing love at you until you give it back. Which may take a while, but he’s not the type to give up.

Sun’s love may or may not have seeped over to Moon.

Moon is a lot better at hiding his feelings, but shows his affection through gentlemen like gestures. He’s fancy like that.

After constant positive exposure, your fear becomes desensitised and you’re finally able to feel more emotions towards them- mainly love.

Yes, yes, cue the fluff.

It’s obvious you’re all in love with one another and it takes some talking to before relationship statuses are set.

“Are you sure, my love? You’re not frightened anymore? We can wait, as long as you may need.” Since Sun never understood your fear, Moon was the best to converse with.

“I’m getting better at managing my.. emotions.” You wave him off. “I at least want to try.”

Now cue the three sided romance.

The relationship doesn’t come without it’s bad days; you tensing at their sudden movements, cringing at mechanical moments, etc. but relationships take work, and you’re all willing to put in the effort.

[princeanxious]

Aight. Screaming into the Void time once again:

I am going to yeet my brain into a pocket dimension, I'm going to strip my soul from this useless flesh suit and use the leftover bones as armor to line my wrath with, the cells in this body fight desperately to keep me alive and yet the synapses in the dumb ball of mental illness jello within my skull desperately demands the opposite.

Emotions are volatile or silenced, to feel them is to be encompassed with an all-consuming suffocating energy that screams for mercy and purpose, to suppress feeling them is to gain a moment to breathe freely in the all encompassing void.

To take care of this hellish body is to find oneself exhausted but alive, doing everything right and yet still picking up broken pieces and chunks every month like clockwork, surviving but not living, there is no rest for bones that have never truely had it, only pain and lead weight for a body that has never been without it.

I am not dying, but I do not feel like I am living. I do not have hope instilled in me, just survival. I do not look toward the future with any feeling, and refuse to return to the past. The present moment grips me like rain under gravity, unyielding and cold but necessary. Absolute.

Years of work I have put into this shambling shell and it's core, and hate that I still feel Grey. I am proud of how far I've come, but aimlessness still haunts me.

Words and pills can only help so far, but it's hard to find lost hope to cling to when you'd never had any hope to lose in the first place.

All I want is to just be at peace with being alive, and neither my brain nor body will grant me even that.

[alteregozowie]

"Truely fascinating," and he meant that. What an interesting girl. "A coven, you say? My, my. What a shame you didn't get a chance to join. With all that you learned, was it something that interested you? I deal in certain magicks that aren't.....as conventional to the constructs also, so I understand how difficult that can be."

And how much trouble it can get you into.

He had held his arm out for her to loop hers, taking care to keep a watchful eye on the hellish streets they strolled down. Not that anyone would think to mess with the Radio Demon.

"That's too sweet for me, I don't know how anyone does it-" But he ordered for her anyways, and both waited off to the side while it was being prepared.

"Sheep's eye? Hm, I'll have to give that a try. I don't recall ever having that, but a bloody mary? That does sound rather fine, but Husker always gets mad when I hit the bottle too early."

Once they grabbed their drinks- Alastor popping the eye into his mouth almost immediately- he took a few sips of his drink and waved to the staff, who looked relieved he was satisfied with his drink.

"Now then, we need some supplies for the hotel, for the kitchen mostly, so it's off to the grocery store!"

[vinehasnohopeleft]

"Go write something" they say. "It'll be fun" they say as I currently sit here, watching all of SuperHorrorBro's video about Ghostwire Tokyo and-

~~~

"All I wanted to do was...fight." Tom's shaky voice echoed through the bright place, neon lights flashing on and off and car horns were heard from all around. Duncan wanted this to be over or at least shoot all the stupid lights that flashed.

Duncan sat crouched in a vent as he watched a large cat dash by, the cat's head replaced with Tom's head with a cracked frowning mask to hide his true face. Duncan tried his best to ignore the sickening crackles and pops that echoed as the frowning twin walked.

"The tails are the weak points." Tim's voice echoed. Duncan noted how his voice was coated in a sorrowful tone, which was unusual since Tim was stubborn and had more of a sassy, irritated tone, But Duncan guesses it's because he had to kill his twin; the only person that stuck with him.

"I always stood behind someone else..." Tom's voice rang in the air.

Duncan took a breath before sneaking out and around to catch up to the boss without catching the other's attention.

"You're in position, grab the core!"

Duncan managed to grab one of the cores that was on one of the three tails and pulled it so that he could destroy it. Tom gave a startled cry as the core was pulled, removed, and destroyed.

Tom gave a snarl before jumping into a higher level which Duncan took as a sign to hide in the vents.

"A burden... That's all I am." The sickening crackle and pops soon filled the silent air as boss passed by "always having to be protected."

Duncan managed to sneak up on him once more and destroy another core, leaving one left. But the next time, he wasn't as lucky; he made some noise which caught Tom's attention and caused him to turn around and attack him.

Duncan managed to get away with a scratch, a pretty big one, on his side and with no food to spare at the moment, Duncan was left to stay hidden and heal a bit.

"All I wanted to do was protect him." Tim's voice said which startled Duncan "I didn't expect him to feel like such a burden. He was... Weak." The word 'weak' sound forced, weak even, out of Tim's mouth.

"I get it," Duncan said quietly "all you wanted to do was protect someone you cared about, I understand that feeling." Duncan truely did. Even though he got into fights with Travis, he still cared about him! Wanting nothing more than to keep him safe from whatever this hellish world became.

"You and Travis were pretty close, huh?"

"I guess you can say that. Yes, while we had our differences, we still cared for each other." Duncan replied. "All you wanted to do was protect Tom, and I guess he understands it, but it seems like her was treated more like a doll than anything by the people around him, huh?"

"I never viewed it that way. I was the only person that he stayed around since we are, well, twins. We never got along with our parents and with our oldest brother, we stuck more to ourselves but Lillian would cling on every now and again." Tim stated "but that statement makes me think of the doctors that came by to check on him, they never let him do anything on his own, they always made sure he stayed in bed, and just...like how you said it: they treated him like a doll. A burden, almost..."

Duncan glanced at the ground then to his hand that held his side, seeing the red crimson fall to the floor. He sighed before sneaking out of hiding to destroy the last core. The brunette watched as Tom gave a cry as he turned to attack him before disappeared into smoke. Duncan could've swore he heard Tim mumble an apology once Tim and Duncan reconnected.

Duncan wished to say something bet didn't as they returned to over world and away for Tom's nightmare.

~~~~~

Don't know if I plan on making this an actual au, more of a "I'm watching some videos of Ghostwite Tokyo, might as well write something based on it" so take it with a grain of salt.

I planned on writing this with Sam but decided Tom for some reason or another.

I'll be damned if I don't write this or something similar with Sam being the boss that feel like a burden because everyone thinks he is a snowflake, so yeah, get ready for that at some point-

[fumikomiyasaki]

The Mission

The instructions were clear as day as his father called him to his room in the morning...

"You are going to the interschool Festival undercover as a Night Raven College student... you are going to locate a former stray... an informant who lost side of his Mission...and we will Welcome him back here with open arms..."

And so he put on the school uniform and covered his tattoos. If he didn't choose this path he could have been one of these students... and so he made his way among these other students... noticing a familiar face... Mellow his fellow childhood friend, chatting with a blue haired person. Despite seeing his friend after such a long time He barely reacted at all... why should he talk to him, he discarded his old life for the sake of this one... and so he hid behind many students and snuck in the transportation to Hourglass Station Academy... taking part in the feast they prepared... however his target was not far...

As he walked behind the Black haired boy who was preparing things he approached him. He turned around pointing a cooking knife at Leroy.

"You... you work for HIM aren't you..."

"So you already sense it... I heard a lot about you... Kayne Saocheng... and how you ran away from it."

"I heard he had a son but never thought he would return to him."

Leroy chuckled.

"I didn't do it for that sorry excuse of a father... I know he only wants to control me actually... but I play along to get what I want... revenge."

As Kayne heard that he put His knife down...

"And that Is why on his order you want to get me back to this hellish place?"

Leroy nodded.

"Either that or your precious young Master will die today... and that Is why you ran away in the first place right... join us and he is safe... but refuse and we take him our this very day."

Kayne glared at him.

"You really sink that low like him?"

"Well If I don't however do I gain enough trust to let me use him for my own purpose."

And so the black haired boy left his cooking knife on the table and began writing a note.

"I will join you but only until the opportunity arises and I can get my revenge too..."

"Oh... I can guess you probably wanna pay back my father... why not... you help me with my revenge and I help you with yours...sounds very interesting..."

Leroys grin was sharp while Kayne still looked in distrust... he left his apron and a not to Samuel that he has to leave for a while...

They returned to Violet family Quarters...

"Why... finally my two sons came back, what a delight... good to see you again Kayne... why the cold stare."

He still stared daggers at him...

"Fine, I know I sadly can't punish you for running away thanks to your Unique Magic but... I am truely happy to see you back at our side. You did well Leroy... now let's get back to that new task I have for you...."
