Pt.1 Pt.2

Requests for this series is now open!!! You can request for ships, episode inserts, and headcanons for this series!!! More info can be found here

Summary: You guys are like the "Friends" of the crime-fighting world. Robin's totally Ross and if this was one of those episodes, it would be called "The one where aliens get their asses kicked"

Ships: none, see info above

A/N: Once again this is a reader insert for the Teen Titans 2003 show season 5 episode 10 (the one where they all meet!) I also added an epilogue for funzies.

You found yourself in a dark bubble of Raven’s magic, floating up to the alien ship. You had offered to water jet all six of you up, but you weren’t even sure if you could create that big of a geyser. Besides, a quiet bubble is much better than a large geyser. Beast Boy, however, disagreed.

“That dark energy stuff gives me the--” He was cut off by a glare from Raven. ”Uh...I mean, it's cool!” He gives a guilty grin.

Robin tells us to go to the firing control room, and you all crept through the hallway in a single file line: Robin, the pink-haired girl, Beast Boy, You, Cyborg, and Raven, who you noticed was still near the entrance. Cyborg gave you a look as if to say Keep going; I’ll handle this. You nodded and continued walking forward.

You were walking near Beast Boy, when you noticed a cut on his arm, with that part of his suit torn open. You pointed at it.

“Hey, you alright?” you asked, referring to the gnash.

“Oh this?” He replies. “This is nothing. When you’ve been a part of the DOOM patrol, a little cut is nothing.” He smiles confidently, patting his wound. You realize that he was totally bluffing when a comical tear springs from his eye and his arm tenses.

“Here I can help.” you say softly. Concentrating on the air between your hands, you condense the liquid in the air, forming a small bubble of water. You move that bubble of water onto his arm and it begins to glow. You let go of the water, revealing Beast Boy’s arm to be completely healed.

“Dudeee,” he stares in awe of your handiwork. “That's so cool-” He’s interrupted by your stumbling; healing really does take a lot out of you. He lets you lean on him, and the two of you continued walking forwards. After a few seconds, he stops.

“Uh, guys?” he says. And that's when you noticed it too. The six of you were surrounded by alien soldiers, and they seemed really out for your blood. “I think they know we’re here.” The six of you charged at the fleet of soldiers. But Robin seemed to have an idea.

“Raven!” he yelled. “Take out part of the floor!” Raven looked at him with confusion, but then nodded and did as she was told. With a large SMASH, she removed the part of the bottom of the ship, revealing the water below. The water below you realized, suddenly understanding Robin’s plan.

“Aquagirl! Now!” he yelled, holding off a soldier with his staff.

“On it!” you yell, punching another alien out of the way. (Apparently with water powers came enhanced strength, which you found out at that moment.)

Concentrating on the water below, you raised your arms, allowing the ocean to shoot up from below. Instead of blasting the water through the entire ship, you carefully controlled it to grab onto the aliens that were attacking your friends, pulling them through the hole and causing them to fall into the ocean below.

You looked at the door to the control room, which was locked shut.

“I got this.” Robin said, placing something shaped like a birdirang onto the door.

As the bidirang counted down, you heard Trogaar talking from behind the door. “The Earth scum shall learn it takes more than six juvenile heroes to defy the mighty Lord Trogaar!” he said, most likely with a smile on his face. You all looked at each other, prepared to prove him wrong.

The door exploded, and Robin was the first to get through. “We’re not six heroes,” he declared. “We’re one team.” Him considering the six of you a team sparked something inside of you. You all split up to take down Trogaar and his guard, with Robin at the lead. You took on a guard, kicking him in the stomach and sending him flying towards a wall.

You noticed that Robin was on the shoulders of Trogaar, and you sent a jet of water to his face to knock him off balance. That didn’t work and he threw Robin across the deck. Luckily, he landed on his feet. The two of you joined to fight Trogaar, taking turns to land punches and kicks. However he overpowered you and Robin, throwing you both across the room. You landed on your back, but Robin hit the wall with the back of his head and fell to the floor.

“Robin! Aquagirl!” The alien girl yelled. You got up as quickly as possible and helped Robin up from sitting position as she and Cyborg tried to take on Trogaar, only to be thrown in your direction as well.

Still leaning on you, Robin looked at Cyborg’s arm. “Can you rewire that into some sort of weapon?” he asked.

“I can try,” he said, getting up. The four of you were in a fighting stance, despite being injured and surrounded by Trogaar and his goons. Suddenly, you hear a voice, as clear as day.

“Get away from my friends!” It was Raven, supporting an injured beast boy. “Azarath Metrion Zinthos!” she chanted. Part of the ship exploded, sending it crashing into the ocean.

You found yourself standing in the ship, the roof torn off and making a slow descent into the ocean. All of the alien soldiers were groaning on the ground, but Robin, Cyborg, and the alien girl were all unharmed. The four of you watched in horror as Trogaar aimed to attack Raven when BLAM! You turned to see Cyborg standing next to you with a smoking sonic blaster in place of his arm. He grins.

“Alright I’m only gonna say this once. Boo-Yah!”

“Yo, is it just me or are some of these guys starting to move again?” Beat Boy points out, still slumped in Raven’s arms. He was right; a few of the aliens began to twitch, making attempts to get up. You turn to the other 5 people.

“You guys don’t worry. They’re in the ocean now, meaning that they’re in my territory.” You cracked your knuckles, your eyes glowing blue.

.

.

It’s the next morning and you find yourself sitting with Robin, Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy, looking at a view of the bay and an island

“Thanks so much for the new suit Cyborg!” you say, fiddling with your brand new outfit. You were wearing a cropped short-sleeve rash guard and swim shorts, both with deep cyan and black patterns. He also gave you black gauntlets with curved spikes ‘To protect yourself from bad guys and still be aerodynamic!’ according to him. Robin gave you one of his old yellow belts, since he figured you’ll probably need something to carry stuff in. Finally, you found some black scuba shoes from the swimwear store that allowed you to walk and swim with ease.

“Its no problem AG! I figured you needed a new outfit if you’re gonna be a superhero now” Cyborg chuckled, calling you a new nickname that he probably made up just then. Superhero, you thought. I like the sound of that.

Raven had a far away look in her eyes.“That's quite a view.” she said, still staring that the scenery

“Somebody oughta build a house out there,” Cyborg agreed, his voice now softer.

“Yeah, if you like sunshine and the beach.” Beast Boy added, making an obvious dig at Raven.

“You know, you're kind of funny.” Raven said to your surprise, smiling softly at Beast Boy. This was obviously too much for the guy’s ego.

“You think I'm funny?” Beast Boy sat up straight, looking at Raven. “Dude! I know some jokes!”

You laughed at Raven’s face of pure regret, before a familiar voice brought your attention to behind you. It was the alien girl, now in a purple outfit similar to the one before, but this time it seemed to really suit her.

“I look .. nice?” she asked, obviously insecure. You took her hand again.

“You look amazing,” you reassured her, causing her cheeks to flush.

Robin stepped forwards. “I still don’t know your name,” he said.

“In your language, it would be ‘Star Fire.’” she says with a smile.

“Welcome to Earth, Starfire.” Robin said.

She looked at you all shyly, certainly different from when you first met. “ I thank you all for your bravery and help, and I wish to ask permission...to remain here. Where the people are most strange ...but also most kind.”

“You don’t need our permission,” Raven said calmly.

“But if you want our friendship, you've got it.” Robin added.

“I could use a new friend,” you say with a wink.

“Guess we could all use some new friends.” Cyborg agrees.

“Besides, we kind of made a good team.” Beast Boy says proudly.

“I thought we might want to keep in touch, so Cyborg and I designed these.” Robin fished out four black and yellow communicators. You, Raven, Beast Boy, and Starfire each took one and observed them. They were similar to flip phones, but they were circular and had no logo on the front.

“Made ‘em outta my own circuits, '' Cyborg said proudly.

“When there’s trouble, you know who to call,” Robin said. You all smiled at one another. You were a team.

Epilogue

While everyone else was still smiling at one another, you excused yourself and walked a few feet away. You opened your new communicator, dialing in a phone number you know by heart. You waited for the person on the other line to pick up, and began to speak.

“Heyyy dad. It’s (y/n); you must have been worried sick, I’m sorry… Yeah no I’m fine, really. I’m in uhhh Jump City and I made some of the coolest friends and I was wondering... if I could stay here? I’ve been spending the whole night wanting to go back home, but I think this might be home for me. I understand if- oh? Really? You’ll let me stay? Wow, thanks dad. I-I promise that I’ll be careful and that I’ll go to school here, I know there's this high school called Murakami School I’ll try to… I love you too dad. I’ll talk to you later.”

You flip your communicator closed, and walked back to your new friends. Raven looked at you.

“Are you alright?” she asked, noticing your change in mood.

“Yeah,” you say, a smile forming on your face. “I’m great actually. Just had to call home.”

“You're going home???” Beast Boy asked, a frown falling on his face.

You chuckled, “Of course not.” You lightly punched his shoulder. “Besides, this is my home now.”

“Awe Yeah!” the green guy cheered. You laugh, feeling extra cheerful. Now that you’re in a team, you really do feel like you belong. You looked at your new team.

“Anyone up for pizza?”

Flight of the Bomble Bees Ch. 2: The White Wolves

Summary: Not all white dogs are good omens.

A/N: Warning for Tubbo getting triggered by fireworks. Thought I’d add a heads up. Guy’s an unhinged mad scientist, but he’s still a seventeen year old with a lot of unresolved emotional and physical trauma. 

Chapters: 1, 2

Roman was telling the story of Thomas and “Nico”, Virgil interjecting to try and add in some embarrassing detail, as they headed back to the base. Ranboo making himself look less human, his horns growing out and a long tail with a fluffy ends trailing behind him, before he joined up with the group. He looked nervously at Tubbo who smiled at him and began showing his new superhero suit.

During this exchange, Patton let out a gasp, “Puppy!”

Logan looked over to see a dog, a smaller spaniel or at the largest some husky, but it wasn’t. The beast approaching them was a fully grown wolf.

Tommy and Tubbo looked over and froze as the wolf kept walking over. Several people just parting for the massive canine.

“Uhhh,” Tommy warned cautiously.

“Lea?” Ranboo asked in confusion as he walked over to Patton and the wolf. “What are you doing here?”

“I think he likes me,” Patton smiled as he let the wolf sniff his hands and arms.

“She . . .” Ranboo faltered nervously. He’d meant to speak more but the words caught in his throat.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” Patton corrected himself before turning back to the wolf, his hands scratching and petting the wolf. “Who’s a pretty lady? You are! Yes, you are!”

“Is this your wolf?” Logan asked hesitantly as Tubbo picked himself into the sky to look around for someone.

“Yeah,” Ranboo asked before correcting, twisting his tail in his hands, “but no. She’s one of Techno’s wolves. He usually keeps them in southern Scotland on some property that he and Phil own.”

“Yeah, but what’s this one doin’[1] here?” Tommy demanded, the wolf turning from Patton to sniff at Logan for a little bit. Patton looked a bit put out when the wolf’s interest went somewhere other than him.

“She’s kinda[2] mine,” Ranboo explained.

“Yours?” Tommy scoffed, sounding hurt. As they spoke the wolf turned to Virgil who tried to keep his body as far away from sharp teeth and crushing jaws. So then she moved to Roman who gave the wolf a couple uncertain pats. “How the fuck is she yours? Those hounds are Techno’s.”

“Yeah,” Ranboo’s tail fluff suddenly the most interesting thing in the world to him. “You remember how I used to live with them? I used to help Techno take care of the wolves and he let me name one. He even gave it a purple collar to tell her apart.”

“What do you mean he gave you one?” Tommy spat in a jealous huff. “He barely let me touch ‘em[3]!”

Lea finally reached Thomas, who upon seeing Roman and Patton, and the other Sides being able to get close to it, reached out to give the wolf a pet. Before she snarled and sank her jaws into his arm, the only thing keeping it from being crushed was the lightly reinforced suit he was wearing.

Thomas screamed in pain.

Thankfully the wolf let go and began to back up and let out a long, piercing howl.

“Incoming!” Tubbo warned as he caught sight of who he was looking for.

“What do you see?” Logan put himself in between the wolf and Thomas, who was holding his arm. “Princey, get him up and out of the way.”

“Techno! Techno’s coming!” Tubbo warned, a terrified tremor to his voice.

People scrambled to get out of the way as Roman enchanted himself to fly and picked Thomas up to start flying him back to base.

Which took them out of the safety of the group.

There was a hiss in the air as something whistled through the air and hit Roman. The small rocket exploded like a bright firework.

Roman screamed in pain and crashed back to the ground with Thomas.

Tubbo screamed in panic, even though he was a safe distance from the explosion, trying to shield his eyes and face from the explosion. Ranboo caught him when he fell.

“Bee? Bee? It’s okay, I’ve got you.” Ranboo promised as he held Tubbo in his arms. Tubbo was shaking wildly in terror, curled up in his husband’s arms.

Virgil’s magic whipped into the air as the wall of wolf teeth hit them. His barrier holding protectively as Patton fretted over Roman who was quick to pick himself up.

“I’m fine,” Roman stood up and pulled out his sword, putting Thomas and the minors in the center of the group. Logan was already signally for backup. Trying to count the number of wolves. His brain got to thirty before it was hard to keep track of them and he wasn’t sure if there were more or he’d miscounted.”

Eventually they saw Techno himself, the tall and hulking figure with a boar mask over his face. Lea circled back around to him from her place in the pack and Techno gave her a quick scratch on the head.

“Finally,” Techno smiled, axe in hand. “After all this time.”

Logan braced with his stun batons, he knew Virgil’s shield would not protect them indefinitely. He watched Philza hanging back about fifty feet, bow and arrow in hand but not notched and raised at them.

“You’re part of Dream’s gang, aren’t you?” Logan probed, trying to get as much information from their attackers as possible.

“Ehh, Dream and I are just old friends,” Techno dismissed. “We’ve just been a couple rounds in a death pit.”

“I see,” Logan commented, watching Virgil’s magic begin to sputter, the force of maintaining a barrier getting to be too much.

“Techno,” Tommy greeted tensely.

“Tommy, back up, I’m not here to fight you,” Techno warned.

“You almost hit Tubbo,” Ranboo reminded.

“Yeah, didn’t see him,” Techno admitted. “Was more focused on trying to find the legate and his head popped up, so . . .”

Techno made a shooing motion with his hand towards the three kids. “. . . you three should get out of the way before I accidentally hit one of you.”

Logan took a glance at Ranboo who was still holding Tubbo. “When the barrier lowers, I want you to take him away from here.”

“I,” Tubbo seemed to regain his composure, his false eye glowing, a radioactive symbol visible from behind his fringe. “I’m up, let me at him.”

Jackie and Silver were speeding in, sending a message to Logan how Bing and Oliver were on standby.

“Absolutely not,” Logan told him. “This is foolhardy, we’ve already had a minor causality, and I will not allow another under my watch.”

“I got your back Bo,” Tommy promised.

That got Techno angry, “Tommy, stay out of the way, you’re in over your head again. And this time I’m not saving you. I don’t want to fight you guys, I want the legate.”

“Well, that’s gonna be a problem then, innit?” Tommy dared.

“Fine,” Techno spat, pulling out three vials of swirling magical cocotions. “You asked for it!”

Tubbo and Tommy were summoning weapons as the vials shattered on the ground and magic wafted up at Techno. Tubbo quickly pulled out a handful of potions and smashed them around their feet, magic filling the bubble. The Sides and the three minors felt charged with strength as Techno let out a shrill, high pitched whistle and the wolves all attacked at once.

Tubbo took to the sky again. Throwing down potions on top of Techno, spells trying to cancel each other out and Techno dodging. “See how you like some fuckin’[4] sparks, shitshow!”

Ranboo summoned a scythe as Phil notched an arrow and let it fly at Tubbo. The tall teen cutting his sword into the air and making the arrow shoot at the ground in front of them.

“Ehh!” Techno smiled. “Finally growing a spine kid?”

“Boo! Get out of here!” Tubbo ordered his husband.

“Not with out you!” Ranboo told him.

“Heh, gay,” Tubbo smiled.

“Come on, Bomble, work with me here,” Ranboo demanded in exasperation, trying to keep arrows off of Tubbo.

“Helping!” Tubbo dove down to slap a disk on Ranboo’s. Metal clipping and unfolding out with the aid of what Logan suspected was nanites. It made an almost all black suit with a visor that looked like bandages wrapped around his eyes.

Ranboo faltered and in that time an arrow nicked Tubbo’s ankle.

Jackie and Silver were trying to keep the tide of wolves at bay while Tommy tried to continuously rush for Techno, which was much harder because Roman and Logan were trying to keep him away and keep Techno off of Thomas.

Virgil’s spider legs sprouted as he tried to pull Thomas away, hissing and spitting at the warrior trying to hit them with an axe.

“Anxiety! Pass him!” Janus called over the chaos.

Some time in the chaos and din of battle, Janus had wormed his way in and held out a hand.

Hesitating for a bit, Virgil tried to figure out if this was an illusion or a trick before shoving Thomas towards Janus who was sprouting multiple arms and snakes poured out from him. A large one coiled around him, enough to grip but not to strangle, other snakes almost forming a protective cocoon around Thomas who was almost dizzy with everything going around him.

“Go! Go!” Janus ordered and began trying to roll the mass of snakes through the onslaught of wolves. Virgil screamed as a set of canine teeth chomped on one of his spider legs. Virgil ripped his leg away, the limb almost snapping off under the pressure but Janus and Virgil were starting to get away from the fight.

“Move!” Janus ordered Virgil as they tried to put distance between the fight and themselves.

“Where are you going?” Techno pulled out one of the green eye orbs and tossed it. The orb shattered and Techno appeared right behind the group, cutting through several of the snakes with his axe but Janus quickly began building them back up as Thomas was trying to backpedal from the guy trying to hit him with an axe.

Ranboo took the opportunity to grab both Tommy and Tubbo and opened up a small portal right on top of himself to get them back to the heroes’ base. Taking them from the battle and the wolves trying to snap at them. Much to Tubbo and Tommy’s immediate anger.

Janus summoned his staff and redirected the blow that would have hit Thomas right in the chest.

Thomas looked at Janus in surprise as the deceitful Side protectively coiled more snakes around him.

Techno immediately began swinging his axe to cut through the mass of snakes. The instant Thomas was in any danger of getting hit, Virgil used his spider web threads to tug Thomas out of the way long enough for Janus to build his serpentine shield back up.

“Come on! Fight me! This is what you’re good at!” Techno ordered as his axe came dangerously close to Thomas on each swing but Virgil and Janus kept him out of harm’s way each time.

“You want a fight, you’ll get it from us,” Janus hissed.

“He’s a lover, not a fighter!” Patton yelled out as he tried to get back into the fight before Phil shot him in the shoulder with an arrow.

In response, Thomas grabbed his arm right where Patton had been shot and let out a choked gasp.

“What do you mean he doesn’t fight‽” Techno demanded, sounding enraged and insulted in the same breath. “He’s a legate, that’s all they know.”

“I don’t,” Thomas whimpered, hiding behind Virgil and Janus. “I don’t know how.”

“All your arms can fight, how do you not know how to fight?” Techno snapped.

Thomas stayed defensively quiet, but Techno was the one who pulled away. He let out a frustrated scream. “What was the point?”

“Mate, yah[5] okay there?” Phil walked closer.

“I brought my dogs out for nothing, Phil,” Techno complained as Philza just smiled in amusement at him. “For nothing!”

“Least yeh[5] got some exercise, mate,” Phil chuckled. “We can head over to Arizona, there’s supposed to be a pit over there.”

“It’s not the same,” Techno complained. “This was going to be my fight.”

Techno huffed before looking over at Phil, “Fine.”

The combatant finally lowered his sword and stomped away, letting out a shrill whistle and all the wolves began to pull away from their fights to cloud around Techno and some of them began pushing around his hands.

“Yeh[5] freaks done?” Jackie demanded.

“Yeah, if Techno can’t get his fight, then he’s done,” Phil smiled. “He’s done, we just gotta[6] take the dogs back.”

“Those are wolves,” Logan reminded.

“Yeah, bred from hellhounds, mate,” Phil smiled. “Yeh[5] all lucked out that he couldn’t get his fight.”

Phil made his way carefully through the wolves to talk to a very upset Techno, while Thomas looked back at Janus and Virgil who were still braced for a fight, snakes still coiling around Thomas, spider silk everywhere.

“You,” Thomas looked up at them with shock, “you saved me.”

“Yeah well,” Virgil fumbled, kneeling down to Thomas’s level. “Supposed to be a hero, it’s what I do.”

Thomas leaned in and rested his head against Virgil’s arm. Virgil flinched and Thomas had one eye light up purple, and the other with a bright yellow. He leaned into Virgil who let out a gasp as one of his eyes lit up. Janus looked down at them.

“I think perhaps you two should go back to the base, while he’s still distracted,” Janus told Virgil.

The scene was briefly interrupted by Thomas letting out a gasp in pain, his eyes returning to their normal color and the group looked over to Patton, who was already receiving first aid for the arrow sticking out of his arm. The tip was still coursing with magic to ensure it would puncture through armour and shields alike.

“How bad is it?” Logan asked.

“I’m fine,” Patton gritted his teeth.

Thomas, almost robotically, got up and walked over to Patton. Logan was quick to come in-between Thomas and Patton, extending out one of his battens to keep Thomas away from Patton.

“He needs all the energy he can get right now,” Logan warned.

“You guys all give me energy, I should be able to give some to him, right?” Thomas suggested.

Patton shakily lowered Logan’s hand.

“Be careful,” Logan’s tone carried an unspoken threat in it.

Thomas nodded and set his hand on Patton’s injured arm, closing his eyes in concentration.

At first Patton felt the white hot pain grow hotter and chil the areas around him, before the pain started to melt away. Patton hummed in contentment, leaning into Thomas. The wound starting to knit itself back up as a huge bruise was secretly growing underneath the sleeve of Thomas’s arm.

Thomas pulled away, and Patton almost fell against him, blinking in blurry disorientation.

“Mmm, tired,” Patton complained.

“We’ll get you back to the base,” Logan picked Patton, cradling him gently against his chest. “Magic can only do so much.”

“I want marshmallows fer[7] pillows,” Patton mumbled, bringing a small smile to Logan’s face that was hidden by his visor. “I like marshmallows.”

“Go, I’ll make sure you aren’t followed,” Janus told Virgil.

“I get it, I get it,” Virgil grumbled as Logan and Roman led Thomas back to the base and Virgil brought up the rear.

Janus and Techno’s eyes met as the Core Sides retreated with Thomas. Janus followed the group from a distance. Jackie took Patton from Logan to speed the injured Side back to the base. It left Logan to break from the group and make his way back to where Silver was watching Philza and Techno.

“Morality alright?” Silver asked.

“He will be,” Logan said, “I want to keep my eye on things.”

“We’ll be gone soon enough,” Phil told him. “Don’t much like being next ta[8] Ent’s territory. Reeks ‘a[9] sad empath o’er[10] there.”

“You are Tommy’s guardian,” Logan reminded, getting a message that Jackie had helped speed both Patton and then Thomas to safety.

“He causin’[11] trouble?” Phil sighed.

“No, but he is seventeen,” Silver told him.

“He’s a spawnling, age is fuckin’[4] relative, mate,” Phil told them in a rather dismissive tone. “Fundy’s been fourteen fer[7] four years now. Bet Tommy’ll be seventeen fer[7] a while longer.”

“That still makes him a minor,” Logan spoke up.

“Look, mate, if I gotta[6] sign somethin’[12], I will,” Phil sighed as he leaned against the wall. “But I’m tellin’ yeh that it means shit an’ all. Tommy could go out an’ do whate’er he wanted an’ I wouldn’t stop him.”[13]

“For as much as you claim Tommy is an adult, he lacks the experience or the fully developed prefrontal cortex crucial for decision making,” Logan refuted. “We need your signature, how long will you be in town?”

“Long enough,” Phil evaded. “I know where yer[14] base is, I’ll head over there, then I’ll meet back up with you, Techno.”

Techno’s eyes glanced between the heroes, “If you’re sure.”

“Oh yeah, we’ll take a shortcut ta[8] the cabins,” Phil told Techno.

Techno let out a whistle and all the wolves gathered around him. “Yeah, yeah, got you.”

Techno began to walk away with his hounds.

Silver waited until Techno was far enough to wait before he asked, “How much do you spend on feeding all those animals?”

“Oh, we’ve got e’en more at the cabins, an’ we keep animals ta help feed ‘em, but it’s a lot, a lot a lot,”[15] Philza answered.

Philza did wind up heading to the base with the heroes to read through and sign some paperwork. He stayed outside as Tommy uneasily watched from the cameras, occasionally yelling obscenities at his father from a speaker and Philza was just shouting them back at him as Tubbo was laughing and eventually joined in.

The other heroes would have intervened to take the mic away from Tommy but it seemed to put Philza in a better mood and he left after the papers were done and he was given a copy.

Calmer, the winged demon left, Techno had been waiting for him and the two of them disappeared into the night. Leaving the heroes to lick their wounds and brace for the next attack.

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Jealous

Part 1:

Charlotte and Henry started dating a few months before their high school graduation. Everyone thought that it was a bad idea for them to begin a relationship because they were already set to go to separate colleges. Henry decided to attend the local community college, so that he could still be Kid Danger, and Charlotte would be a few hours away at Stanford on a full ride.

Before deciding to take the risk, they agreed that it wouldn’t work if both parties were not 110% committed. Knowing that they both wanted to make ‘them’ work above all else helped them to persevere through the rough patches. In the beginning the miles apart placed a strain on their relationship since they were so used to seeing each other every day. But they adjusted, they really put in the time and effort needed keep their relationship afloat. The distance eventually forced them to have better communication skills. They learned to articulate how they were feeling more concisely since they couldn’t read each other’s body language through text.

Since starting school they had both grown up a lot more. Charlotte decided to make the most of her college experience. She absolutely focused on her academics, but she wasn’t afraid to hit up a frat party every once in a while. She really found her stride in clothing design and would sometimes even sport her own looks to these events. Her wardrobe as a whole was more diversified. While her new clothes were far from risqué, she did show a little skin more often than not. She was overall a more confident and open person.

Henry was maturing in his own ways as well. He was taking over more responsibility when it came to the superhero business and the regular business. He would go out on missions alone frequently and only requested Ray for backup when absolutely necessary. Henry was really coming into his own as a hero. He was even considering rebranding himself and retiring his Kid Danger moniker for good. He couldn't yet decide between Man Danger, Sir Danger or Mr. Danger. He would have to workshop the name a little more.

It had been almost a year since Charlotte and Henry became official. In that time, they learned a lot about each other. Individually and as a couple. Charlotte learned that Henry was extremely needy and possessive and jealous. Henry learned that Charlotte was not.

Sometimes it bothered Henry that Charlotte was so nonchalant about people hitting on him. They had once been on a date where the waitress flirted with Henry the ENTIRE time. She was even so bold to leave her number on the receipt with a winky face next to her name. Charlotte didn’t even bat an eyelash. And he knows that Char noticed, she was way too observant not to pick on the very obvious server. She didn’t make any comments about it during or after the dinner.

He, on the other hand was always claiming her in front of random people. He couldn’t leave her alone for two seconds without coming back to some schmuck shooting their shot. Guy after guy were constantly getting curved by his beautiful girlfriend. That didn’t stop Henry from making his place known. A glare and a not so subtle hand around her waist or shoulder usually did the trick. He just wanted to drive home to these dudes that they had zero chance, not with his Char.

Henry figured that he should be happy that she was so secure in their relationship. And he was happy, but maybe he would like to see a little jealousy every once in a while. Charlotte had such a casual attitude towards the attention he got from other women, and sometimes men, that it felt like she didn’t care at all. He knew that he had already hit the jackpot with Charlotte, she was truly one of the best things to happen to him. He just wanted to feel as if the same was true for her.

Their first anniversary would fall during spring break so he convinced Charlotte to let him plan the entire week. She was hesitant to leave everything in his hands but conceded after a few days of pleading and pouting over FaceTime. She almost couldn’t believe how quickly she caved after seeing Henry’s adorable puppy dog expression. She did always find it hard to resist those beautiful brown eyes. Especially when combined with his hopeful begging to, “Just trust me babe. Pleeeaase.” Charlotte folded like fresh laundry.

Henry decided that they would go to New York for their break. Charlotte loved musicals and fashion, both of which there was an abundance of in New York. He decided that he would take her to a Broadway show, a concert and a runway show. He was ambitious.

During his research for the trip Henry discovered that the first installment of the official New York Fashion Week was hosted every February. They had already missed it but there were usually a series of smaller, more accessible shows in the month or so following. He was able to secure them seats at a show with an up-and-coming brand that seemed to fit Charlotte’s new style.

During his deep dive into fashion shows, plays and all the other events happening during their break, Henry saw that the Boo Man Group had shows in the city that same week. Charlotte loved them plus it would make up for that one year on her birthday that she missed their performance because of superhero shenanigans.

When trying to get tickets online he discovered that the group was sold out the entire time they would be in New York. Sighing in defeat, Henry was about to click off the browser when he noticed that the Boo Man Group weren’t doing a solo performance. They actually were just the opening act for none other than...Double G!

A tiny spark of hope bloomed in his chest when he realized that he just might have a connect to get into the concert after all. He figured it was a long shot but he quickly pulled out his phone and searched in the contacts. Once he found the name he was looking for, he immediately hit the call button.

Biting the corner of his bottom lip in anticipation, he hoped that she still had the same phone number and would pick up. Tapping his fingers on his thigh nervously Henry listened to the ringing tone and was just about to disconnect the line when he heard a raspy, “Hello?”

“Hey. Babe?” Henry asked.

Babe squinted down at her phone in confusion and cleared her throat. “Henry?”

“Yeah. I’m sorry, did I wake you up? I completely forgot about the time difference between California and New York.” Henry said while glancing at his clock on his beside table. 9:02 pm. It would be after midnight over there. Oops, thought Henry.

“Uhhh yeah, that’s okay though. I’m up now, what’s going on?” Babe wondered while sitting up in bed. She hadn’t talked to Henry in over a year, unless you counted his extremely scarce retweets on Twitter or a rare comment under her posts on Instagram.

“I was wondering if you could help me get tickets to one of Double Gs shows in March?” Henry asked hesitantly while scratching the back of his neck.

“Uuuuuhh” was Babe’s reply.

“It’s totally okay if you can’t help me out. I figured I would at least ask because all the dates were sold out. And I know you are close to his family. You know what? Forget I brought it up” Henry said in a rush.

“Henry it’s okay, I’m still half asleep and I was just contemplating if I would be able to get you tickets. Chill.” Babe replied with a small laugh.

“Sorry. I’m a little high strung right now. I’m trying to plan a spring break to remember and these tickets would definitely get me one step closer.”

“I’ll tell you what, I’ll check with Trip tomorrow at work. He pretty much has access to all his dad’s shows. I can probably hook you up with backstage passes, VIP, the whole thing.”

“Really? Oh my gosh, thank you so much. I can’t believe it” Henry exclaimed excitedly.

“Yeah just text me tomorrow with the details. What days you’ll be in town, number of tickets, whatever else” she said while yawning.

“Ok, ok will do. Thanks again. I really owe you one Babe” Henry said sincerely.

“Don’t mention it, I’ll be happy to collect on a favor from Kid Danger” Babe teasingly retorted.

“Well, have a good night. I’ll let you get back to sleep. Talk to you later.”

“Talk to you later” Babe replies before hanging up her phone.

A large smile covered his face when he thought about all the fun they were going to have. Spring Break couldn’t come fast enough.

Henry was so busy arranging the trip that he barely had any extra time. He and Char usually FaceTimed every night but recently that had decreased to two or three times a week. On top of all the trip planning, he was out on more late night crime alerts than usual. It seemed as if every villain in Swellview had suddenly gotten the motivation to enact their little schemes all at once. Like they all decided that they needed to complete their plots for total domination before Spring Break. Maybe they were going on vacation too.

Henry was busy consolidating his budget one afternoon when he got a video chat request. Looking up from the document that he was reading he searched under all the pages spread out on his desk for his phone. He finally located it under a credit card statement that he had printed. Looking at the screen he involuntarily smiled when he saw the contact picture. Pressing accept, he was greeted by the glowing umber skin of his gorgeous girlfriend.

"Hey Love" Henry greeted with a dazzling smile.

"Hey Handsome. I was just calling to see how you were doing on budget day" Charlotte responded.

Furrowing his brows and squinting slightly, Henry chuckled. "How'd you know it was budget day?"

"Well I know you've been working on being more fiscally responsible after I explained that good credit wasn't just for 'crusty old dudes'. Plus your card balance is due tomorrow and you always wait until the last minute to figure out your bills."

"Wow, aren't you quite the detective?" Henry sassed lightly.

"Yes. Yes I am. Also, you put it in our shared calendar with a frowny face beside it." Charlotte smirked.

"Oh yeah, I remember that now. That was after the third time I had pushed it off for later. I decided to put it in the joint calendar because I knew you would hold me accountable if I didn't do it."

"Smart plan. You know I can help if you need anything."

"Yeah, actually I have a question about interest rates. How do you-" Henry paused.

Charlotte could see Henry looking at his phone in contemplation while biting the corner of his bottom lip. “Uh, baby?" Charlotte inquired after few seconds of silence.

"Hey, I'm actually getting an important call, let me call you back later okay?"

"Oh ok, don't forget to tell me...your question about interest" she trailed off when he she realized that he had already clicked over to the other line.

Strange thought Charlotte.

He reluctantly interrupted his conversation with Char because Babe was calling him back. He needed to know if she was able to secure the tickets for them. But, he decided it would be a good idea not to tell Charlotte who was calling. He didn't want her to figure out the surprise location and a clue like that could give it away. She wouldn't be able to guess where they were going since she didn't know that he was talking to Babe. What other reason would Henry have to speak to the New York native?

Henry spent the next few weeks coordinating with Babe about his Epic Spring Break Trip. She helped him get the concert tickets and extra perks but she also gave him advice about what other events would be in town that week. She provided the inside scoop about all the cool local spots in their area. She also helped him pick which Broadway show they thought he and Charlotte might like the best. She assisted with picking what hotel would work best with his budget. Babe was basically his travel agent without any pay.

When everything was finalized and shaping up to be the best spring break of all time, Henry called Babe to ask her what he could do in order to repay her for all the assistance. She responded that she was more than happy to help and if she thought of anything, she would let him know. He told that he would help her with whatever, whenever and let her know that it had been great catching up with her over the last few weeks.

Henry had previously only considered her a nuisance based off the impression she made when they first met. Now he thought of her as, at the very least, a good acquaintance. Maybe even a friend. Time seemed to have mellowed her out significantly. He might even consider accepting her friend requests on his private social media pages. He followed her profiles but she had seemed like she would be hella annoying online so he held off on letting her follow him back.

As the vacation approached, Henry got more and more nervous. He went back in forth in his head about if Charlotte was going to hate everything that he planned. Unnecessary thoughts plagued his mind. What if her interests had changed? What if she hates Boo Man Group now? What if doesn’t like fashion anymore? What if she doesn’t even like ME anymore?

His fears were quickly assuaged on the day before they were set to leave for New York. He, Ray and Schowz were all standing around talking while they hula-hooped. He had just dropped his hoop for the thousandth time when Charlotte came into the ManCave. She immediately dropped all of her luggage after stepping off the elevator and catapulted into his arms. He hugged her back tightly and when he pulled back to look at her face he could see the love shining in her eyes. He let out a sigh of contentment while holding her in his arms. Then they proceeded to have the most intense, toe curling, lip tingling kiss that they had ever shared.

Their passionate, borderline inappropriate kiss came to an abrupt halt when they heard an airhorn sound off loudly right into their ears. They hadn’t seen each other since New Year’s day, could you really blame them for getting swept up into the moment? Quickly jumping apart they looked around to notice that Ray and Schwoz were staring at them incredulously.

“Geez guys, did you remember to breathe?” Ray exclaimed.

“Yeah it looked like you were both trying to suffocate each other with your tongues.” Schwoz snidely commented.

Charlotte looked embarrassed to have lost her inhibitions in front of the pair and weakly called out “Shut up!” while rubbing her arms awkwardly.

Henry chuckled and pulled his mortified girlfriend into his arms again and gave her a simple kiss on the forehead.

“What are you doing here babe? I thought I was going to pick you up from school on the way to the airport tomorrow morning?”

“You were but I wanted to surprise you. You’ve spent so much time planning this trip that I feel like we haven’t spoken much lately.”

“Awwww...you missed little ole' me? I’m honored” Henry responded jokingly.

Charlotte hit him lightly on the arm. “I mostly missed Jasper” she says with a smirk. “Where is he by the way? I wanted to see him before we left. I thought he was coming home for break?"

“Jasper was invited to some kind of exclusive bucket convention last minute so he’s actually in Wisconsin right now.”

“Oh. That’s weird, but totally Jasper. I also missed those two goofballs, but don’t tell them that.”

“Your secret is safe with me.” Henry said lowly while bending down to give Charlotte another kiss. Before they could even brush lips, the air horn let out three quick spurts too close for comfort courtesy of Ray.

“Uh uh uh. No more of that in here. I don’t like to be reminded of how single I am.”

“And stop hogging Charlotte!” Schowz said while pulling Henry away to bestow a brief hug upon her.

“I missed you! You know these idiots can barely comprehend what I’m saying most days” Schowz lamented.

“That's because of your silly accent and you know it!” Ray cuts in while pushing Schowz away with a palm to his face.

He gives Charlotte a quick hug as well and says, “Welcome back Brains. I didn’t miss you at all.”

“Love you too Ray” Charlotte says with a smile.

They spend the whole day in the ManCave watching movies and catching up on life. This place was her home away from home and she wouldn’t it change it for the world.

binchhhhh have you season season 8 yet??? and if so thoughts?? 🤔

I diddd!!!! and I just finished it!! i tried staying up till 3 to watch it but fell asleep and woke up at 4:30, it’s like 10 am now and honestly???

*SPOILERS FOR VOLTRON SEASON 8 BELOW*

 worth it. no regrets.

overall im like…satisfied? like it got a happy ending for the most part, because the main plot is accomplished the universe can finally begin to heal and voltron has served it’s purpose, which i was expecting but there’s also a part of me that is…like really really sad??

like allura’s gone because she sacrificed herself alongside honerva (which really made a sharp character turn at the end, which is slightly supported by the closer examination done to her character in the episode where they delve into her mind but i still feel could’ve been built up more)  and i really wish she could’ve like lived on (but like what else are fanworks for??) especially given the fact that she and lance were really beginning a promising relationship.

-even though there could be a case built that it’s just a rebound relationship, though i think that its very unfitting for either allura or lance’s characters. i mean the same could be said for klance if it had been canon, that lance saw his chances with allura dissipate and that keith was just next in line. but the way the allurance was portrayed was actually quite soft, like the two became closer friends who shared a romatic love for one another and isn’t that how love’s supposed to be?

(believe me im just as disappointed as all of you that klance didn’t end up being canon because despite my (still present) belief that they belong together, but i…was kinda prepared to find this out? like Dreamworks being the parent company and after shiro was confirmed to be gay and who was a main character i just knew that asking for more than a single LGBT main character was pushing my luck. (ezor and zethrid were present but they hardly had any screen time and theyd been classified as villains even near up to the end)

of course while i did enjoy the season and the entirety of voltron overall i think ill just list of what i liked, what left me confused, and what kinda bothers me:

-keith, embracing and fully accepting the entirety of his galra heritage and even going so far as to use the words ‘us’ and ‘we’ in his speech to the other galra at the end ✔️ pretty good for a boy who started out angry and sad at the world with no idea who he was

-lance’s altean marks!!! all i can say is hell yeah!!! (like i dont think he’s altean because i dont think he can shapeshift or is genetically similar at all but the marks on his cheeks (i interpret them) are like a kissmark from allura, a reminder that she did truly love him  and almost a symbolic way of her having passed on the torch to him. ✔️ (they’re like lance’s moon!!! ya know like how in ATLA how sokka found love and then lost it but was reassured that yue was up there, looking down on him)

-did kova die in the ritual?? is that what happened when honerva set him down in the circle??? she drained the quintessence from an immortal being❔

-that little dialogue exchange from honervas memories of lotor like how zarkon replied to lotor saying “you may be the prince but i am your emperor” and immediately afterwards when lotor said he wanted kova and haggar almost said no and he replied “you may be the high pristess but i am the prince” pretty much mirroring his father and delivering the chilling hint that despite how much lotor may have tried to reject it, small parts of zarkon did make their way into him ✔️

-SHIROS!!!FUCKING!!!ARM!!!WRESTLING!!!COMPETITION!!!✔️✔️✔️✔️ like you can tell being called old got to him, and am totally in the belief that no matter how good he may be at hiding it he’s just as short tempered and fiery as keith was ( i even think that maybe he saw a younger version of himself in keith when he first met him which may be why he was so determined to help him- especially since much of shiro’s own childhood is never adressed. can someone say orphan!shiro?) 

-farmer lance ✔️✔️✔️ like keith’s dad was a predicted to be farmer/firefighter- hes confirmed firefighter but i like to think that maybe he grew tomatoes part time or smthn. and keith a city slicker he doesnt know jack about farming. excellent matierial if you ask me, yall pickin up what im puttin down?

-takashi shirogane got married and we dont even get a name??? scam ❌

-shiros kiss ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

-uhhhn the fuckin uhhh slight homicidal tendencies that allura developed after accepting that parasite thingy . like everyone was glancing at each other, clearly aware that she wasn’t acting like herself but no one actually steps in? says enough is enough.?❌

-Merla name drop??? ya know what i can appreciate the little things ✔️

-go!lion throwback with gremlin pidge✔️✔️

-shiros goodbye. “you never have to thank me for anything”. like the sincerity, the implied level of thanks that HE feels towards alllura. binch..i shed a tear i wont lie…✔️

-lance found love✔️✔️✔️ me being a klance/shance lover or not i love my boy lance first and foremost and He.Found.Love. the one thing he’s wanted more than anything else and i for one love that he found his happy ending no matter how short lived it may have been

-lance signing like 1000 blue lions dolls just to get ONE for his boo? hero✔️

-end credit where the lions are flying towards an outline of allura made of stars✔️ while even though she’s gone, shes now part of the galaxy she fought to protect✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

-voltron ends just as it started, with lance mcclain center stage ✔️✔️

- the scene where baby!lotor is running towards honerva to hug her and then just stops. dead. in. his. tracks. purposeful or not i think it really gives credit towards his natural instincts to sense danger.✔️

-despite lotor having killed hundreds of alteans, and the additional reaffirmation that he above all was desperate to preserve life no matter the cost, that he had a sense of right and wrong that became skewed. that he lost himself. found himself, and lost himself again. makes him a character really suited for deep pensive analysis. like before we even KNEW or met lotor i was writing him as a paris hiltonish party kid who was really just looking for a good time but now i feel like when writing him from here out and maybe for others we can actually give him his due as a complex character who under a different set of circumstances couldve been someone else. someone better? maybe ✔️❌❔

*SEASON 8 SPOILERS END*

well thats all i can think of off the top of my head. is there more pros and more cons? probably but that’s really more up to everyone else’s personal interpretation. 

is voltron perfect? definitly not, there’s a lot that coulve been improved upon, somethings that coulve gotten more in depth work. they had a lot of interesting pieces that if executed better, with longer episodes or possibly even more seasons, or maybe decided on a method of storytelling and stuck with it, i feel like it couldve been something great. 

but i liked it. 

and if if you’re with the opinion that the ending sucked and you hate everything about it well, you can always just drench yourself in fanworks like you’d drench turkey in gravy to make it a little more palatable.

because YOU my good bitch are valid as well!!!

so really theres something for everyone!!!! (also please dont kill me for my lack of fics, my chem final was yesterday (only thing i can remember from it is the thought that i should’ve chosen A. sparkling water rather than C. gold metal for question 19—buuuuut that means im free for break!!! and guess who’s gunna get flooded with all my half finished fics!!! das right allayous

Headcanon #2

Pairing: 00Q (James Bond/Q)

Rating: Mature

Additional notes: Unbeta-ed.  Technically an anonymous prompt fill, but in the form of a headcanon post.

Warning: Lots of profanity ahead... You’ll see why.

► Premise: Bond and Q are sent on a mission together, as they do, and accidentally meet Deadpool. Bond and Q need to retrieve some vital information from a power-crazed, too tanned tycoon, and Deadpool has been paid to kill said power-crazed, too tanned tycoon (which, of course, he happily does because nothing gets him off better than a good challenge and ending some crooked white old man hiding behind all sorts of protective walls—actual walls, money walls, dick walls, whatever.) You get the picture.

• Deadpool spies Bond lunging from a bridge onto a moving train and squeals because “Man! He doesn’t have regenerative power! But he’s still doing it!” (“Also because it’s almost Skyfall all over again, but shhhhh, no need to remind a man of that kind of trauma.”)

• Deadpool runs after Bond, kills a lot of dudes, gets maimed and ‘killed’ a lot of times, but he doesn’t care because Bond is rugged in a nicely tailored suit and he’s winging it like the suit doesn’t restrict his movements at all, and man, this is why all this hero business with a mask and ending up being called a red condom is really starting to become a little unfair compared to that gorgeous piece of ass! Whoot!

• Bond shoots Deadpool, thinking he’s an enemy, and Deadpool doesn’t even move and just takes the bullet because wow, Bond looks so fucking intense when he stares down the barrel of that gun with those glacier blue eyes, and shit, it’s glorious. “But hey, hey! You’re gorgeous and all, but I’m not willing to eat more than one copper candy from you, okay?!... Or two. Or maybe three… Whatever, just cut it OUT!”

• It takes a while, and a fair bit of shock when Bond realizes that this little bugger in red and black spandex doesn’t seem to be dying at all no matter what Bond (has on hand at the moment) throws at him. And it takes Q telling him that it’s “Deadpool a.k.a Wade Wilson, which means that he heals too fast to die, so stop wasting your energy” for Bond to gradually stand down. Turns out, they’re on the same side after all.

• “Uhhh, I would also like to remind you that you should add ‘for now’ to the end of that sentence? That one up there at the last bullet point? Yeah. ‘Cause, you know, mercenary and all. There’s never any real guarantee. My moral compass is messed up, man. And stop making typos, oh my god, either you go to sleep now and wake up fresh, or you focus, okay?!”

• So, they turn out to be on the same side after all, for now, and thanks to that, and Q’s sensibility, and Deadpool’s fanboying insistence, they decide to work with one another.

• Deadpool totally forgets about Bond and skips right over to Q the second he lays eyes on him, though. Because, like, there’s no real reason why he shouldn’t be interested? Intelligent, pretty, cherry red lips, and nice, pert ass? “Tsk tsk, you’ve been missing out, Bond… Or have you? Oooohh!!! OHHHHH. This is just too good!”

• “Also, I just want to say that there’s no reason why I shouldn’t have liked Q. You know, like how I’m fond of Spidey Boo? Yeah. Pretty boy Q got the snark, too, superpower or no, and the fact that he can topple governments with just a few keystrokes alone get my blood going so bloody fucking ha— HEY! Don’t cut me off!”

• And so they work together on this mission to finish off this rich, overly tanned, crooked tycoon. Well, more of Deadpool doing so, and not so much Bond and Q because Bond and Q are just here to get into the database and retrieve all those sensitive information okay, and “Get out of there, Bond. It’s a bloodbath, and considering that he’s a mercenary… Better be safe than sorry.”

• “He’s right, you know. Just saying. I got no reason to want to do anything to them other than maybe some third base action, for now, but, like, I told you. If there’s a good reason for it, if they go rogue and start embarking on a, I don’t know, killing spree, then I’ll be there. Yeah… Maybe I should still bang them first though… Ugh, decisions, decisions, deci—”

• “Are you sure Bond and Q don’t have superpowers of their own? Like, Spidey got his powers from a spider bite, okay? So, maybe a tick bite for them? You never know what goes on in those forests and faraway lands Bond sometimes finds himself in. I mean, Wakanda just emerges out of nowhere, man, and it’s fucking beautiful. I wanna go there… soon-ish. As soon as Fox and Disney work out some sort of temporary deal or whatever ‘cause I don’t want to be censored, you know. I wasn’t born to be censored. We were brought into this world nude, and we’re gonna go out— Wait. Wait wait. That was going somewhere. Hold on…”

– THE END –

“Damn it! You cut me off again! And look at what you’ve done! My train of thought is probably gone for good, and you’ve put me in italics. Great. Just great. You know what? Fuck you, author.”

[echoeternally]

A, C, M, T (for that shipping ask)

Oh goodie, these things!

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

Why would you start me with this? Oh no. Hmm. Well, I guess I can list some:

Pokemon

Alakazam/Machamp - You thought I’d have settled down over this. You were wrong. Pretty sure they’re my favorites from the series atm.

Salazzle/Heliolisk - I don’t talk about it very much (yet), but I’m actually a sucker for these two as well. 

Nidoking/Rhydon - Some asks from my side-blog reminded me of what a trash shipper I am for these two.

Greninja/Chesnaught - Not as much lately, but I still love them together.

Cloyster/Forretress (Friendship) - Not relating to my fanfics at all, have you seen that cute picture I posted of them? Because it’s cute, and precious, and my heart can’t take how much I needed them like that.

Nidoqueen with someone that isn’t Nidoking.

Feraligatr with someone too.

…Ok, fine. Samurott/Typhlosion. Shut it.

Carracosta/Blastoise - I made them cute husbands/dads, and now I can’t get over them.

Super Mario

Bowser/Mario - The OTP that will never die down ever. Seriously, I can’t get over them. It’s like the best enemies to lovers pairing around. The more that people become interested in them together, the happier I get about them.

Yoshi/Birdo - I’ve toyed around with the thought of them again lately. They’re cute.

Peach/Pauline - I thought I was being cool, and then Odyssey fan art made me trash for these two. (Spoilers: I heard they don’t really interact in the game, and that bothers me extensively.)

Luigi/King Boo - I stumbled upon it a while back, and it’s crossed my mind a bit lately. It’s weird, I know.

Koopalings/Junior (Family/Friendship) - I really love them all being a family of twerpish little monsters, I can’t. Also, all of them with Bowser.

Mario/Peach - Kinda feels like treason from me, but I do like them. (I don’t think I ever denied it?) Friends, more than that, less, their dynamic is one that just works well. (Odyssey helped make it just friends for now, though, mwahahaha!)

Star Fox

Fox/Falco - I blame others for talking about it around me, and now I default to them being gay maybe-boyfriends. Thanks a lot.

Fox/Peppy - Don’t look at me like that. It was a joke, and now I like it. 

Fox/Panther - It’s another joke pairing that I magically became very fond of. They’d make a really cute couple if anyone gave it a chance, but nnoooo, they’d never.

Fox/Katt - You know, it comes into my head as Katt’s way to get Falco to notice her better, and then she ends up falling for Fox, and that’s a thing now, help.

Panther/Katt - I wrote it once and it’s never stopped popping into my head. They’d be fitting for each other, really. Why has this not crossed more people’s minds?

Krystal/Katt - Apparently I’m shipping Katt around like she’s everyone’s babe, but like, the idea of them having a dynamic past “only two girls around” always interests me. It mirrors Fox/Panther to a degree, except without the initial hostilities.

Fire Emblem

Summoner/Orbs (Heroes) - The truest relationship ever.

Robin/Chrom (Awakening) - I’m trash for them. More for the gay version than straight, what a surprise. Warriors didn’t help me.

Sumia/Olivia (Awakening) - Someone wrote them together as a couple for a gay hack, and, help me, I can’t get over them.

Robin/Lon’qu (Awakening) - Straight, gay, doesn’t matter. (Though I’m sure you’d guess what I prefer.) I feel like Lon’qu works as a great partner for the Tactician.

Lyn/Florina (Blazing Sword) - Again from hacks, again I’ve become trash for such a pairing.

Florina/Ninian (Blazing Sword) - People introduce me to such ideas, and I can’t get over them. Heellllpp.

Corrin/Niles (Fates) - What can I say? They’re the gays. Uh, I mean, Niles could totally be with FemCor…screw it, he’s for ManCorrin.

Corrin/Florina (Fates) - She needs Corrin badly! (Fem over Man, but…nah, Fem better.)

Corrin/All Siblings (Family) (Fates) - I just want them to all be happy together. Even if there are two Corrins…actually, wait, that’s even better. I want to see all their siblings freak at two Corrins. And then Azura’s like, “Wait, which Corrin is mine? Who do I follow? Both Corrins?” It’s great.

Ok, I’m tired of these, so that’s all I’ve got in my head atm. Honorable mention to the Bomber Bros. from Super Bomberman R, because I’m trash for family shenanigans, it seems.

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

Hmm…I guess a bunch that involve NOTP ideas of mine. Usually characters that I can’t stand, are irredeemable in some regards, involve kids, involve abuse, etc.

Outside of those…I dunno. I have one in mind, but it’s better that I don’t say it aloud anywhere.

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

Oh gosh, a whole bunch! Using not my own characters, I’d easily pick the Mario Bros., because they’d be great friends. They’re fun and loyal, ready to go against all kinds of odds to help who they care about! And Bowser, actually! Sure, he’d be hard to get through, but can you imagine having that kind of persistence from a friend? Oh, oh, and Kirby too! He would be a great friend! Even if he eats…everything. I think all of them would be great friends to have.

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

Uhhh…Mario and Luigi are good brothers and like each other? Which is canon. …Idk if I’d die for that one, but yeah. Bowser being a good dad for Junior is another that I like. Outside of Mario things…Fox is bi, Katt is poly, and Panther is pan, lol, goodbye.

Hmm. I’m not too good with these, I realize. Not using my own fanfics for answers makes it a challenge too. I failed that for the first part above, but here I am adamantly avoiding them.

[smoaking-greenarrow]

Felicity and Thea head to National City on a covert mission, but both of them become little starstruck over seeing the city’s hero. 

“Oliver wants us to go to National City.”

“I’m in.”

“That was fast.”

“Okay, she has to be around here somewhere. Keep your eyes open, Thea.”

“This city is huge! There must be a bank robbery, mugging, or bar fight around here somewhere, right?”

“Are we bad people if we’re hoping to find one of those things?”

“It’s worth it! Can’t you do your nerdy tech thing and find us some criminals?”

“The police radios say there’s a robbery on Tenth. It’s a high end jewelry store. And the doors were blasted open. Definitely seems like something that would catch her attention!”

“Okay, okay. Let’s just be cool, Felicity. We’re not fan girls. We’re here on an intelligence assignment. Strictly observation.”

“Low profile.”

“Just gathering information.”

 “Totally.” 

“All right, which way do we need to-OH MY GOD!”

“Thea! What!?”

“Look up! I think we need to go that way.”

“Ho-ly frack.”

“This is insane! We just saw Supergirl!”

“We need to follow her!”

“Hold on. Oliver’s calling. Oh my god, Thea, I can’t believe this...Oliver! We just saw her!”

“You saw her? Are you safe?”

“Of course we’re safe! She’s a superhero! Oh my god. Thea and I were just standing on the street and she flew. Right over us!”

“Fe-li-ci-ty.”

“We’re just doing what you asked.”

“I wouldn’t have asked at all if I knew you two were taking it as if you have front row tickets to your favorite band. You’re trying to get some information on her, not interact. I just want you to be careful. National City reports are saying that she’s an...alien.”

“Alien, Oliver? No way. Meta-human? Much more likely.”

“I should have gone with you. Or instead of both of you, apparently...Either way...she’s not...we don’t know her. I just wanted you guys to take a look around. Not become her groupies.”

“Oh, come on, Oliver. She hasn’t hurt anyone. All she’s done is save people. We’ll be okay.”

“...”

“You’re still our favorite superhero, Oliver.”

“Just...be careful.”

“Hey Ollie! Maybe if we meet Supergirl, we could introduce you and she could teach you how to fly.”

“She’s kidding. We’ll call you in a bit, Oliver. We need to find her before we make any kind of alien or meta-human rulings.”

“Be-”

“Careful. I know. I’ll call you soon.”

“If I don’t hear from you within the next couple of hours, I’m coming to National City myself.”

“Goodbye, Oliver.”

“Don’t worry, big brother!”

“...”

“Okay, Thea...let’s go see if we can catch a glimpse of Supergirl.”

“Do you really think she’s a meta?”

“Oh, hell no. She’s definitely an alien.”

“I’m glad we got to do this together, Felicity.” 

“Me too.”

“Maybe we can hit Central City next. Observe The Flash.” 

“Maybe...”

“Uh oh...Do you see that guy? Not suspicious at all. Just a man running with a duffel bag away from Tenth..where the jewelry store is.”

“I don’t know...Thea, if that man is fleeing the scene of the robbery...maybe we should hide, he’s coming right at us and who knows if he’s armed. Oliver said not to get involved in anything.”

“Hey! Idiot! Yeah, I’m talking to you!”

“Thea, don’t chase after...him.”

“Running from a girl? Really!?” 

“He lives in a city protected by Supergirl! He knows how strong women are! He’s smart!”

“...”

“Oh, ow. That’s going to leave a bruise. Thea, be gentle! He’s a thief, not a member of the League of Assassins!”

“If he was smart, he wouldn’t be running down the street with his ski mask still in his hand.”

“...Okay, fair point.”

“And...who are you two?”

“Uhhh, Thea! Supergirl. Flying. Here. Wow.”

“Looks like you caught my jewel thief. Now I really need to know who you are.”

“Felicity Smoak. From Starling City, Palmer Tech employee.”

“Starling? You’re a little ways from home.”

“Yeah-me and my uh, Thea and I-we were just-site seeing.”

“Hi. Thea Queen. Huge fan.”

“They know about me in Starling City?”

“Of course they do. Felicity and I follow CatCo’s stories on you like tweens following Justin Bieber on Instagram. The world knows about you.”

“Wow...that’s...wow...well, you took down that guy like a pro.”

“Kickboxing classes! Thea’s been learning stuff like that in, like, regular, normal kickboxing classes since she was a kid.”

“Well, thanks for the assist Thea Queen and Felicity Smoak. It was nice to meet you both, but I should probably find him a pair of handcuffs and the back of a squad car,” 

“Anytime. I mean, not anytime. Since we’re not from here. But you know, if we’re ever here, and we see another jewel thief, Thea can just...knock ‘em out and call it a day.”

“I owe you one. Come find me if Starling city ever needs some help. Your Arrow is impressive, but every superhero needs a night off, right? Maybe your man in green could use one.”

“Ha! Could he ever! Right, Thea?”

“...”

“Tell him I say hello. And that he’s lucky to have a couple of girls like you on his team.”

“Whaaaat? No. No, Thea and I are not on his...psssshhttt.”

“It was nice to meet you both. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you again soon.”

“...”

“Supergirl just-”

“Flew away? Yup. Oliver’s not going to be happy, but man, I am pumped!”

“Ho-ly frack.”

In Defense of ST: DSC (long)

So... because I apparently like to torture myself, I sat through the whole 20-odd minutes of the Dave Cullen show’s review of DSC’s first two episodes. I jotted down some notes as I was watching and decided I was going to write my thoughts about his review.

Spoilers -> You won’t be warned again!

He’s not the only one to heavily criticize the show, but I keep hearing the same complaints, and most of them feel like petty cop-outs to simply hate on the show for not being the same formula as other Trek shows.

One this I read on Reddit (though I admit I would be hard-pressed to find it now) was that is was “Hard to believe” that in the 23 century, Captain Phillipa would have an accent.

What?

It’s hard to believe that maybe her parents raised her to be multi-lingual through hard work and study? Somehow she should always rely on the universal translator? We don’t eve know much about her, its possible learning languages was a hobby, or maybe her first career was a linguist. This whole complain seems like it was a way to disguise bigotry over a woman’s accent. But I have no proof of that. Its simply my opinion.

Moving on. Image below  details my notes. I’ll go through the,.

One of Dave’s first complaints was that other Trek shows down-played diversity and made it “not a big deal.” But if you were to look at the history of Trek, you’d see that White Men* are generally more represented than others. He talks about how America is mostly white, but that doesn’t hold water with me. Star Trek is about the future, surely there would be more racially diverse people on board Starfleet vessels.

Diverging from the status quo doesn’t mean Discovery should be shamed for trying to include more characters with different backgrounds. Frankly, this cast seems more in line with Trek than a lot of the others.

To say that Discovery is anti-white is also a long shot... a shot that misses the mark as well. Of the overall cast, 7 of them are white in various roles. A white man is the captain, a white man in the main engineer, a white man plays Saru, and two white women play engineers. They even appear to have a robot / andriod on the bridge, does he count as white... or... not?

The Main Character, who is a woman, is named Michael?!?! Michael Learned, Michael Michele, and Michael Saunders are all women in real life. Yes, Michael is an unusual name for a girl, but that doesn’t mean its impossible. Ashley (For whom this blog blames) and I had this conversation the other day. I don’t see this as any different than Jayden / Hayden or Kelly or (As Ashley pointed out) Ashley. All can be used for boys and girls. This is a non-issue. You are literally finding any reason to hate this show if you have to pick on a god-damn name.

I can’t believe the Klingons are speaking in Klingon and I have to read subtitles! You know what... you just can’t fucking win. For DECADES people, Trekkies, have bemoaned the fact that all aliens speak in English nearly all the time. Now that Discovery has broken that cycle, they bitching about them not speaking in English. “I had to read subtitles for several scenes.” Oh boo fucking hoo. The production team went out of their way to make these scenes and avoid the “Everyone-speaks-english” trope. Like, legit, its a trope. Aliens Speak English (TV Tropes Link).

The opening scene with the Captain and Michael is pointless. The next complaint is that the opening scene means nothing. Despite the fact that it serves to introduce us to the characters and their motivations, it’s pointless. Saving a pre-warp civilization from dying out by breaking the Prime Directive is a staple of Trek Captains. We also learn more about Phillipa and Michael, and the plans Phillipa has for her. I think it also helped to expand on the Star Trek universe by showing us more alien-aliens. As for the Starfleet insignia drawn in the sand... that was meant to be a nod to the audience. It was meant to be fun... thanks for killing the fun, fun-killer.

The opening credits suck!!! To be honest, for the first two episodes I too hated the opening, but now that I’ve watched it a few more times, I’ve come to enjoy it. My favorite opening has always been Voyagers, the quality of the show aside, the opening was amazing (to me). I would say I enjoy them in the following order: VOY > TNG > DSC > DS9 > TOS > ENT. I’m sure we all have our list, and that’s mine. Discovery ranks high for me for Opening Credits. The problem with this complaint is that its super-super-super subjective. But the way he picks on the theme seems to go back to my final thoughts about Michael’s name and Klingon Language. Nit-picking for the sake of it.

Using a telescope to look at something in space?! Insane!!! Yeah... he mocks the use of a telescope to try and view the object from the first episode when the sensors can’t get a good reading on it. Uhhh... what?! That was smart. Sometimes the best technology is old technology... I legit don’t know what to think about this. What?! Really?!

*inhales* Klingons are White-supremacists of the Star Trek universe and their desire to remain “pure” makes them the good guys. Fuck that was a lot to type out without suffering a stroke. While the producers admit that they modeled the Klingons of Discover after Trump Supporters and Supremacists, in no way are the Klinons the good guys. Setting aside the fact that he claims the Federation is essentially invading Klingon space (they were simply at the border and places a comm-relay there), the Klingons made the first move. They destroyed Federation property and slowly but surely instigated a fight. Yes, Michael was planning to attack first, but not to try and start a war, but to talk to them in a language they understood. I agree that if a people want to remain isolated, the Federation has no grounds to force themselves upon them, but that’s not what the Federation was planning. They would have invited the Klingons to join the UFP like all other member worlds, and would have accepted the choice to decline. The Klingons in Discovery want war. They want to use their cause as a rallying cry to unite their people, and have no problem pulling innocent people into their political bullshit.

Furthermore, the concept of “pure” is an outmoded idea. Whether its 2017 or 2256, there is no basis for remaining pure. It is more likely that all people would have mixed DNA to some degree (whether you can see it physically or not), and Culture can quickly and easily adapt or change with every new encounter with new peoples.

Women were only cast as the Captain and First Officer as virtue signalling. Women represent half of the human population and only one other woman has been a Captain in her own series in 50 years of Star Trek. I don’t think its unfair to have another woman step-up and take command. That being said, since Captain Phillipa dies in the second episode, I hardly think you could say they were using this for political reasons or to appeal to the “left” since one of the biggest issues these days is disposable female characters. Look at (TV Tropes again) Disposable Women, I Let Gwen Stacy Die, and Career Building Blunder. The reason women want a “Strong Female Character” is because they’re tired of always being the ones to be murdered or left behind or shown as weak or incapable. Killing off the female captain in the first episode actually follows the trend of killing off women to move the heroes story forward; the twist being the hero is a woman.

The Ethical Protocols were stupid. Actually, this seems to be rather smart of the part of Starfleet. Considering that most criminals in the Federation aren’t likely violent to begin with, the idea that the computer would be designed to allow everyone to escape a doomed ship is cool. Michael using logic to convince the computer to let her out so that she wouldn’t die when the power failed was pretty well executed. This is less stupid than the Logic Bomb destroying an andriod trope.

Denegration of Men.* He genuinely believes that the show actively looks down upon men. Because the show isn’t about the Captain? Who knows! But all the mens in the show are allowed to be mens and that’s bad! Considering he’s only watched the first two episodes and is unaware that 3 different men, playing 3 different characters all have 3 different personalities, I can’t take him seriously on this. He actually says (Sarcastically) at one point in the video that “Women are the future!” So what? What if they are? Unless you have some issues with female authority, why is this a problem? Why do you care about women in charge? It doesn’t take anything away from you. I don’t see how Discovery has treated men any differently than the women on the show.

As a side note, he also disliked Star Trek Beyond. He sees it as “Leftist” and yadda yadda....

He DID however, like the CGI in Discovery. Legit, his only compliment on the show.

And if you feel like dying a little inside, here is a link to his video:

“He’s so beautiful” Britney cooed as she sat on the floor in front of Hank as he bounced in his baby rocker. The small boy was laughing as she used Collin’s old stuffed Lighting Mcqueen doll to tickle the baby’s stomach while making car noises.

“He’s a spitting image of me you know,” Collin said from the kitchen where he was cooking while quizzing Britney for her finals. Yes, he was a man of many talents. Some could say he even had GOD like abilities. Although one of those people wasn’t the girl playing with his son. Yet anyway.

“Huh, you could never tell,” she said gently running her fingers through the baby’s red curls. “I think he may take after Uncle Eric…”

“What! He has my eyes and… oh” Collin paused as Britney watched him a sly smile on her face.

“You are much better looking than your parents,” Britney sang to Hank who just smiled up at her, “Who knows where you came from.”

“Oh shut up.” Collin mumbled flipping the page of her textbook, “Are you ready for more questions or are we going to argue about my son’s looks?”

“Daddy doesn’t think you’re pretty but I do.”

“I didn’t say that!”

  Finals were upon her and Britney was so busy taking tests and writing papers she barely saw Collin or Hank. Hardly eating and locking herself in the bathroom so she could study just a little more. Collin had never seen her like this, so nervous.

“This is my sophomore year,” she told him coming up for air and a smile from Hank who instantly reached out for her as she came into the kitchen. “I have to get good grades so I can take the classes I want next year. Or maybe I’ll transfer? Or try and skip a few general classes so I can finish quicker?” she was talking so fast as she bounced Hank up and down. The small baby just watching her with wide eyes as if unsure who this person was holding him. Because it sure wasn’t his Britney. Collin watched her feeling the same way his small son did.

“Woah easy, I’m sure you’ll do fine,” he said gently prying Hank away from the frazzled girl. “How about you take a quick nap and I’ll get dinner ready.”

“No… I shouldn’t probably… uhhh” she paused blinking at the bathroom where a stack of books sat, “What was I going to do?” she asked turning to Collin who couldn’t help but smile.

“I’ll wake you in an hour, now go,” he said pushing her toward the bedroom. As he watched her grumbled to herself slowly walking into the bedroom. An idea slowly forming in the single dad’s brain.

Picking up his phone he shot off a text to his dad “could you babysit tomorrow night?”

“YES PLEASE!!!!!” came in instant response followed by a quick “or whatever…”  

Collin laughed the idea slowly forming into a plan as he started to make a list of what he would need.

  “YAY We will be there when you get back!” was Collin’s last text with a gif of Honey Boo Boo dancing in a pageant dress. Britny had rolled her eyes before shoving the phone back into her pocket. Some things never changed.  

However, as she entered the small apartment neither of her men were there. In fact, the apartment was way too quiet, eerily so. If Britney didn’t live the life she had she probably wouldn’t have come to the conclusion she did but… she had. She was digging out her hero costume as she quickly stripped ready to give whoever had kidnapped her family the beatdown of a lifetime.  

Collin had gotten caught in traffic on the way back from his parent’s home so he was late. And he knew it. However, the sight that greeted him wasn’t the one he had expected.

Britney was dressed in her hero costume just about to run out, she basically ran into Collin looking up at him with wide fearful eyes.

“Where’s Hank? She said looking at him as if the small child would suddenly appear.

Collin couldn’t help but laugh holding up the bottle of wine, “He’s with my parents, I thought we could celebrate.”

“What?”

“You’re finals.”

She blinked at him as if suddenly registering what he was saying, “I thought…” she took a step back her face becoming flushed. Collin couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear as he knew what she was about to do. For his son. He couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat speed up at the thought of how quickly she was ready to jump to save his son. He knew she had moved in to help them both but part of his mind, the insecure side, always seemed to tell him she was only doing it because he was so helpless. But he knew, in moments like these that she truly cared for Hank.

And maybe him too.

He took a step closer to her ready to sweep her off her feet with his plan.

“Nice outfit, did you fight your final?” then his mouth got in the way.

“Shut up.” she said hitting his chest before turning back inside slowly unzipping her suit.

“Wait, uhhh what are you doing?” he asked as he stared at her.

“Oh my God Collin! Calm down, I’m just unzipping it so I can change… in the bedroom.” she added as she walked back to the bedroom they had been sharing. Suddenly she paused.

“Hey..”

“Yeah?”

“The zipper is caught in my hair I think.”

“Oh is it now?”

“Oh GOD, never mind I’ll get it,” she said slamming the door. Collin followed her as he felt the evening he had planned in his mind slipping away.

“Hey, Brit… I have wine and I bought Chicken from that place you like down the street.”

Slowly the door opened to a very adorable pouting Britney, “I’m really stuck” she mumbled avoiding his gaze, “If you say anything or break my zipper I will kill you” she added as he motioned for her to turn around.

He slowly loosened the zipper from her long brown hair before sliding it down her back. He could hear his heart beating so hard in his chest he was almost worried he could hear it too. God, she was beautiful. He had wanted her for so long. Wanted all of her.

They hadn’t done much more than kiss a few times, him always letting her lead scared she would change his mind. And scared that if he started he would never stop. Just kissing her forever until their small family starved to death.

He would never admit it but sometimes sleeping with her was hard. The apartment was only a one bedroom with a queen size bed so she would normally crash with him after a long night studying or taking care of Hank. But on those nights they both went to bed at a relatively normal hour he would just lay in bed watching her sleep wishing he could do more than just lay there. Wishing he could feeling her under him, feel every inch of her body against his. Just to run his tongue over her, know what she tasted like.

“Cool, ” she said breaking his train of thought walking back into the bedroom to change into some sweatpants and a t-shirt. Or that’s what he had thought until she came out in a cute little black dress, her dark brown which had been in a ponytail was now down falling around her shoulders in soft waves.

 “Ok let’s celebrate!” she said skipping up to the table taking a plate to serve herself some food.

Oh man, he was so fucked. Taking a deep breath he followed her trying to remind himself that this was a good thing. This was part of the plan.

Dinner was delicious and they spent their time talking about their weeks. Collin giving her updates on his family and what she missed during her fast from humanity. She told him about her tests and how she felt some she was confident about while others unsure.

After dinne, they end up moving to the couch with more wine. Slowly the conversation moved from small talk as they both let the alcohol flow.  

“This was a mistake wasn’t it?” Collin sighed as he rested his head on her shoulder.

“What was?” Britney asked him as uneasiness filled her stomach. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. Ready for him to admit having her there wasn’t what he wanted.

“Everything, I mean I can barely keep up with everything and It just feels like maybe I’ve done something wrong, something horrible so Hanks being punished.” Collin shook his head

“How is he being punished?” Britney asked as she tried to understand and keep up with his thoughts.

“Well I mean, I’m never ever going to be accepted by my grandparents but you heard what she said about him. He’s just a copy of her. He’s just a copy of me, but I see him as more than that. Even though I’m a screw up with no useful skills, what am I going to do?”

“You’re not…”

“You’re going to be a doctor! But me? I put all that focus on the team and that’s now practically out of my hands.” He began to slur “I can’t even have a real grandchild for my parents, their first one is ‘just a copy’ that only brings bad memories for them.”

“That’s not fair, Hank is perfect.” Her words weren’t reaching him as he continued. Now sitting looking down at his hands as if they would give him the answers he was looking for. And answer to why he seemed to be screwing everything up.

“They only tolerate him because they’re too busy for another baby of their own. They’re just trying to help me and I’m just letting them down. I keep telling them we’re too busy to visit because I don’t want them to see that I’m a failure as a father and as their child. I’m not their Hercules, I’m just their mistake and… ”

“Shut up!” he paused turning to Britney who had just shouted at the top of her lungs, her cheeks slightly rosy from the alcohol while her blue eyes blazed with anger. Once she had his attention she continued, “I don’t like you talking about the man I love that way.”

“But I’m talking about… oh” slowly his frustrations melted away as a huge grin grew on his face causing Britney to become uncomfortable as her own words sunk in. “You love me?”

“No!” Was her instant gut reaction as he moved close “I mean yes… I mean… stop smiling like that.”

“Like what”

“Like an idiot”

“I’m going to kiss you,” he said leaning forward slowly watching her, waiting for her to pull away. To his delight, she didn’t. To his pure joy, to the answer to all his dreams, she kissed him back.

There was nothing holding him back tonight. No baby, no school, no stubborn girl who wouldn’t admit what he had known all along.

They were meant to be together.

He had loved her from before he could remember. He had loved her before he even knew what love was.

And he kissed her like it.

Long and passionate.

Pulling her body to his she wrapped her legs around his waist causing him to moan into her mouth. Gently he grinded into her, testing the waters. As she followed his movements he almost came from pure excitement and the prospect of maybe more.

Then her teeth grazed his bottom lip and he was done. His resolve fading so fast he wasn’t sure how much longer he could hold on.

“I want to make love to you” he groaned pulling away. At his plea, her eyes grew wide as she studied him.

“I… do you have protection? because I’m on the pill and not ovulating, but mom was saying Asgardians are pretty fertile and I have 6 more years of school plus residency and I can’t get pre…” he cut her off holding up a condom.

“Now who’s spiraling?” He laughed She watched him feeling her heart beat fast in her chest. Was this really happening? Collin looked down at her, his smile slowly fading.

“You doing ok?”

She nodded, he had never seen her like this before. So unsure. Suddenly it dawned on him.

“Wait, are you still a virgin?”

“I said I wasn’t going to date in high school and… college… I tried” she mumbled.

 “You were just waiting for me huh.” there was that stupid cocky smile of his.

“I’m done,” she said the mood gone as she pulling away from him so she could move from the couch. Quickly he caught her arm stopping her. Panic filling him. He wasn’t going to lose his moment.

“No!”

She paused looking down at him.

“Come on,” he said standing up as well before gently pulling her toward the bedroom. “I’ll teach you.”

The Bee ‘n Boo Ch. 2: Spider Legs and Bumble Bees

Summary: Virgil is uneasy so he goes wandering the halls again, and finds nothing but trouble.

Chapters: 1, 2

The conversation with Logan sat wrong with Virgil and surprise, surprise he was having problems sleeping on this vacation as a result.

After a couple days he finally had enough. It was obvious the owners were watching them closely. Clearly looking for something from them.

Virgil decided he didn’t like the owners of this bed and breakfast, he really didn’t. It didn’t help that usually when he got an impression of someone he was typically right. So he started wandering the halls on their last night, unsure if he wanted to track one of the owners down.

He didn’t have to decide what he wanted to do for himself because one of the owners found him in a hallway.

The first hint he was being followed was the sound of a low buzzing, Virgil’s mind immediately recognized it as a bee or wasp buzzing. He looked around for the sound and saw Tubbo standing down the hall behind him, a single bee flying around him.

“Normally I don’t care if our patrons walk around the halls,” Tubbo sighed. “But I make a special exception for demon clientele, especially when Dream takes an interest in them.”

“I’m not a demon, I’ve been tested,” Virgil defended tersely.

“Yeah,” Tubbo scoffed at that. “Bet you have.”

The buzzing pitched dangerously and Virgil braced for an attack but Tubbo turned to glance behind him.

“Fuck, did you call for some type ‘a[1] backup?” Tubbo demanded angrily.

“No,” Virgil shot back, feeling nervous and looking around.

Tubbo whispered something into his hand and magic coiled around his hand, words visibly etched into the magic that read: “Ranboo, get over here!” and blew the magic out of the palm of his hand and it flew down the hall.

Then Tubbo looked around as he summoned a sword that had a blue and violet glow to it. He was looking around the hall as Virgil coiled magic towards him. He was inwardly cursing and chastising himself for coming alone. It had been a stupid decision he kept making.

“Underscore,” someone on Virgil’s side of the hallways came out, it was a legionnaire. That legionnaire froze when he saw Virgil. “Shit! You! Of course you’re working with them.”

Spurred on by his mounting anxiety, Virgil’s spider legs sprouted and he realized he was trapped between someone who was absolutely threatening, and someone who was vaguely threatening.

There was a crash of glass underneath Virgil and he looked down to see the effects of a potion waft up and Virgil felt his entire body charged with power.

Tubbo slid underneath Virgil and the anxious Side startled back.

“I thought I said we didn’t want any ‘a[1] you shitheads back in here,” Tubbo spat.

“Tubbo!” Ranboo’s voice called out to them as the legionnaire began to move towards them.

“There were already too many demons before you freaks got here,” the hunter spat.

“Back up,” Tubbo ordered Virgil.

“Boo!” Tubbo called out as the taller young man raced around the corner and over to help, deep purple magic buzzing around him.

“⎅⎍☊☍!”[2] Ranboo shouted as his eyes glowed a deep purple, his more human appearance almost decaying away to show that half of his face was black and the other side was bone white, long pointed horns coming from his forehead.

Tubbo dropped to the ground as a huge, purple pixelated portal appeared right in front of the assailant who seemed caught in it and then Ranboo closed the portal and the man disappeared. Magic shot perfectly in-between Virgil and Tubbo.

Ranboo was shaking and breathing heavily as purple magic buzzed around him.

“Nice timin’[3], bossman,” Tubbo smiled, getting up.

“Did you just kill him?” Virgil looked between them in horror.

“Prolly should’a,”[4] Tubbo scoffed as Ranboo returned to his more human appearance and walked over to stand next to him. “If Ranboo hadn’t showed up I would’a[5].”

Virgil saw the hardened look in Tubbo’s eyes and he immediately believed him.

“Nah, I can’t kill people with my portals, only send them somewhere else. Depends on how fast they’re going though.” Ranboo then turned and groaned at Tubbo. “Come on man, we just got this place, I don’t wanna[6] have to bail you out and have to deal with the bad press by myself.”

“I’ve dealt with worse,” Tubbo shrugged.

Ranboo looked like he wanted to say something but he just huffed. “You okay?”

“Yeah, big guy,” Tubbo smiled and patted his arm. “I got this now, just go and rest.”

“I don’t think I can sleep after that,” Ranboo commented. “Gonna go get started on that mountain of paperwork.”

“Be in there soon,” Tubbo promised and Ranboo nodded before walking away.

Tubbo turned to smile at Virgil, “Not too shabby,[7] you did pretty good.”

“It was just the one, and you two did all the work,” Virgil smiled bashfully, looking around the hallway to see if he’d done any damage. His spider legs slowly disappeared. “Sorry if I did any damage.”

“Nahhh, it’s all good, big guy,” Tubbo dismissed. “Least I can do. Like I said before, you’re still a payin’[8] customer and I don’t let people get away with shit in my establishment. If we meet outside and you’ve already turned in your keys, then it’ll be different. But right now you’re here.”

“Why help us?” Virgil asked. “Seems like a lot of work to go through for your enemies. Aren’t we the bad guys to you?”

Tubbo shrugged, “I don’t know, I don’t think good and bad people actually exist. It all depends on what side you’re on. Initially I was just plannin’[9] on raisin’[10] the alarm when I saw you, but then you said you liked my bees and you were really genuine about the whole thing—”

“Uh, that was Lo,” Virgil interrupted, before immediately starting to backpedal when he saw the confusion on Tubbo’s face. “Uhhh, I mean the bees are fine. They’re, uh, great. But I’m more of a spider-type guy. Not that the bees aren’t cool, I mean— not cool, who says “cool” unironically anymore? Ignore me, I’m rambling.”

The reason Virgil had started rambling was because Tubbo’s expression turned from confusion to a look of absolute horror. When Virgil stopped there was a grim silence between them.

“Holy shit,” Tubbo whispered, his tone tense. “Are you conscious in there?”

Virgil stood up, trying to put distance between them. “Umm, yeah? Why wouldn’t I be?”

Tubbo tried to lean up, as if looking for something in Virgil’s face, which only made Virgil even more nervous. “That’s fuckin’[11] demented. How alive are you? I thought you guys were like cardboard cut-outs of real people, but you’re actually alive?”

He was right in Virgil’s personal space, the only thing keeping him from being directly within biting range was the fact that Virgil was taller than him.

“Maybe I should go back to my room,” Virgil backed up.

Tubbo glared at him before he backed up, his expression guarded. “I guess you should, shouldn’t you?”

Then Tubbo left and hurried back up to his room. The other Sides were still thankfully asleep but something in Virgil couldn’t sleep that night, he stayed up the whole time staring at his ceiling.

They left the next day, Virgil sleeping in fitful bursts and starts in the car and everyone was asking if he was okay when he woke back.

Tubbo’s words stuck with Virgil like an insidious disease. He’d been mind controlled before. The anxious Side hadn’t liked it then and didn’t think he ever would. A question lodged so deep in his mind that he didn’t think he’d ever get it out: how would you know if someone controlled your mind?

The anxious Side lies that he was and was only just starting to calm down when they got to the house. He wanted to sleep under his weighted blanket and forget everything.

But then he felt a twinge of unease when Logan walked in, spiking Virgil’s innate anxiety back up.

It took Logan a little bit to realize what was wrong: Someone had been through their house! If it had been one or two things he would have chalked it up to Joan, but there was furniture that was ever so slightly moved.

Immediately the logical Side conveyed it to the other Core Sides and they contacted Joan who had been house sitting for them, and Janus to check if Remus had broken in again.

Remus hadn’t, but Joan said that something had been in their house and they had it under control. So with barely having time to start unpacking and sorting out dirty clothes, the suitcases were left in various rooms as they rushed back to the base where Nate, King, the androids, and several different heroes were waiting for them.

Logan however, threw up an arm to protect the other Sides when he saw what King had in his possession.

King was sitting in a chair, an old camera bound with spells propped on his knee and something in Logan twisted in rage and apprehension.

“I think it’s time we had that talk,” Nate warned Logan, his magic hovering over the camera.
