The mass reset had caused real frustrations and yet like always there were plenty of L’s who stepped up to help rebuild; however when the group assigned to claim one of Cinder’s temples, rebuild it, and set up the protection space against Cinder resets, no one expected the small blue child.

There was a moment of completely unified shock, glancing around at each other before someone realised she was hurt and he rushed over, “Heal!” He barked the golden magic circle appeared and the baby was surrounded in warm golden light.

“Fuck is that an Izzy?” One asked.

“What other blue fucking baby do you know dumbfuck?” Snapped another.

A few were just edging away hands raised, not ready to deal with a baby, a few others panicked and some just got to work hoping to ignore the whole thing.

The healer picked the baby up and sort of held her out away from him awkwardly, “Someone call fucking Cinder we got a Paradox bloody baby!”

@a-drop-of-nightshade

After the mass reset thanks to Fox things were slowly being pieced back together. While the mass amount of L's had shown up to help rebuild there was something they probably didn't expect to see in the ruins of Cinder's temple. A small, blue, sobbing baby. The little Izzy had been somehow left behind and just cried her eyes out because she'd been hurt and had a bad bruise across the whole left side of her body. The tiny blue infant looked frail as glass and she seemed to be the only thing making noise.

[ 365 Days of SasuHina || Day One Hundred Twenty-Two: Walk in the Park ] [ Uchiha Sasuke, Hyūga Hinata ] [ SasuHina ] [ Verse: Best Years of Your Life ] [ AO3 Link ]

What she thought was going to be a one-time thing has turned into a habit.

Ever since the first early summer night Sasuke woke her up with coffee beans against her window, he’s done so several more times. Enough that she’s started suggesting he might need a sleep aid.

He insists his head’s just in another timezone.

Either way, he’s taken her out of her house at odd hours of the morning more than once since the first witching hour outing, and each time, Hinata’s gotten more and more certain Hiashi’s going to catch her one of these nights. Then he’ll lock her in her room every evening at curfew, not letting her out until breakfast the next morning.

But so far, she’s been lucky. Or maybe she’s just more of a ninja than she thought.

Usually they just go walk in the park, but sometimes they wander around the other houses. Not getting into their fenced yards, but admiring architecture from the sidewalk they typically take for granted as something only in the background.

He’s been teaching her a lot about that lately: noticing what you take for granted.

Tonight, it’s three am, and the subtle sound of coffee beans against her panes rouses Hinata from sleep.

“You know, you could just text me.”

“It might not wake you up.”

“And the beans have any better odds?! My dad’s going to find a hill of them under my window and get suspicious!”

“I pick them back up.”

...she blinks. “...you do?”

“Yeah. Been using the same ones over and over. Can’t be wasting good coffee, Hyūga.”

“Would you please stop calling me that? I have a name! Hyūga could be anyone in my family.”

“But I only ever talk to you.”

Pale eyes roll. He’s impossible.

“C’mon, we got places to be and time to waste.”

Sighing in defeat, Hinata slips into her clothes and follows. As typical, she dons shorts and a shirt under her favorite periwinkle sweatshirt. Quiet sneakers let her do just that through the house until she’s out the back door, her father none the wiser.

“So, where to tonight?” Hinata questions, perking a brow at the blanket tucked under Sasuke’s arm.

“Park. It’s a nice clear night, and I think there’s s’posed to be some meteor showers.”

That perks her up. “Really? I didn’t hear that!”

“Hence why I’m staying up on purpose for once. And why I’ve got this.” He gestures to the blanket.

“Oh!”

They stroll through the quiet neighborhood, Hinata marveling as always how different it feels at night. Daytime sees it so busy and noisy. But now? It’s like no one else on Earth exists.

It’s just...peaceful. The isolated feeling of being alone without being alone.

Rather than lie on the grass, they return to the multi-toy structure, climbing to the top and lying atop the blanket among the walls of the make-believe fortress. If the cop that typically patrols rolls by, he’d surely see them just out on the ground. They’ll be well-hidden up here.

“Comfy?”

“Mhm!”

“I even did laundry just for this. Smells clean, huh?”

She can’t help a giggle at that. “It’s v-very nice. I didn’t know you were so into space.”

“I’m not. Just thought it’d be neat.” Staring skyward, he glances to her. “...thought you’d like it.”

Hinata can’t help a small jolt. Me…?

“Oh, I saw one!”

“W-what?” Flustered, she moves her gaze back up to watch the night sky.

Slowly at first, and then gradually getting faster, the comets streak across the sky directly above them. Lost in the sight, Hinata soon forgets Sasuke’s comment, too enthralled with pointing every time the sky alights. Beside her, Sasuke mostly lets her lead, dark eyes watching each she gestures to. Once she’s distracted, he spares the occasional sidelong glance to watch her expressions, his own unreadable.

“Aw...I think it’s over.” Several minutes have passed without a single sighting. Arms draped loosely across her middle, Hinata keeps watching. “See any, Sasuke?”

“...no.”

Her lips pull into a hint of a pout, sad it’s finished. “That was really cool…! Thanks for bringing me.”

“Yeah, sure. Any time.”

Heaving a small sigh, she keeps studying the stars. She really should learn some constellations so she’d know what she’s looking at. “...it’s so nice out here at night. I’m g-glad you started bringing me.”

“Me too. It’s nice to have some company. I used to like going it alone, but...I dunno. It’s weird. With you around, it’s like I’m alone, but...I’m not.”

“I think I know what you mean. We don’t...get in each other’s way. Quiet company.”

“Yeah…”

Glancing to him, Hinata stares idly as he turns to look in tandem. Suddenly there’s a funny feeling in the base of her gut. Like misjudging how many stairs you’re taking. A kind of tension makes her realize where they are, how they’re alone...at night...side by side. Is...is she supposed to…?

Across the street, a car alarm suddenly blares in the silence.

Gasping in fearful surprise, Hinata almost jolts upright before Sasuke pins her down.

“Shh! It’s probably just a cat jumping on the car.”

Thoroughly rattled by the shock to her senses, Hinata glances through a gap in the structure’s side. Headlights flash rhythmically in time with the siren.

“It’ll turn off soon.”

“W-what if my dad gets up to see what’s -?”

“I doubt it. We’re quite a few houses down, he’s not gonna care.” Still propped up on an elbow with a hand on Hinata’s further arm to keep her down, he peers over the top.

A minute more of the noise passes before it finally fades back into silence.

“...okay. We’re fine.”

Still tense, Hinata tries to relax, heart pounding beneath her sternum.

...his hand’s still on her arm.

Giving it a glance, she then looks to Sasuke. “...um…”

“ Huh…? Oh, uh...sorry.” He withdraws the limb, looking to her a bit sheepishly.

“It’s fine…”

...that same tension seems to creep back in with the quiet.

“Hey, uh...can I ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“Could I…? I mean, would you want to -?” Sasuke cuts himself off a few times, clearly struggling with something.

“What?”

“Do you...wanna go out with me?”

She blinks. Blinks again. “Like...go somewhere…?”

“No, I mean - well okay, yeah, but -” A hand weaves back nervously through his hair. “...I mean like...date. Go steady. Whatever you’re supposed to call it.”

One last blink...and then her eyes go wide. “...you mean, you w-want to…?”

“If it’s a dumb idea, just...tell me now. I don’t wanna make things, like...awkward. But maybe I’ve already done that, I dunno. I just...I keep thinking about it, and -”

“Sasuke.”

He clams up.

Surprisingly, she...finds herself rather calm. “...I’d like that.”

“...you would? It won’t...make things weird?”

“No…? We’re still friends. We can just, um…” She goes pink. “Try being...more than...friends?”

“...yeah. I guess.”

Silence blooms, and grows, and grows…

“Uh, anyway...we probably better get home.” Sasuke sits up, avoiding her gaze. “It’s getting pretty late…”

“Yeah…”

They gather up the blanket before checking if the coast is clear, then heading back toward their neighboring houses. Despite their new arrangement, neither of them say anything, making the trek in silence.

“Okay...uh, guess I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Yeah...thanks again for taking me.”

“Sure, sure.”

She smiles at him, a bit blushed. “Maybe we can just...s-say that was our first date? Get it...out of the way?”

Sasuke blinks. He hadn’t considered that. “...yeah, sure.”

“Okay. Goodnight.”

“Night...Hinata.”

Sneaking her way back in (how has Hiashi not noticed yet?), Hinata heads into her room and...goes about her normal routine, slipping back into bed. It...still hasn’t really hit her yet, has it? Maybe in the morning she’ll realize what he just asked her to do.

...and the possible consequences.

But for now, she’s gonna just...go to sleep. Maybe dream of a meteor shower.

     Eyyy, he finally did it xD      ngl I thought about having them smooch, but...we've gotta let it builddd...cuz I'm evil x3 More of the most-consistent little mini modern series. I can't remember what all days they are, but...the regulars surely know what I'm talking about, lol      Anywhoozle, it's...very late, and I'm very tired (hurray multiple sleepless nights), so time to head to bed! Thanks for reading~

V; The Fight Continues {Default}

In December of 1776, John Laurens left England, alongside his unfinished studies in law and his then-pregnant wife Martha Manning, and set sail for the Colonies with the singular goal in mind of joining the Continental Army in its fight for independence. Upon arriving in Charleston four months later, Henry Laurens, unable to prevent his son from enlisting, used his influence to obtain the 22-year-old man a position of honor. In August of that year, General George Washington offered him a position as volunteer aide-de-camp, which John accepted. He quickly forged a reputation for himself as being a recklessly courageous soldier on the battlefield, as well as a charming, intelligent gentleman off of it, described as charismatic and courtly by those who knew him; he soon became close friends with the Marquis de Lafayette, and the General’s right hand and de facto Chief of Staff, Alexander Hamilton. His cunning in fights, excessive bravery aside, and education prompted Washington to appoint him an official aide-de-camp with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in October of 1777.

Other notable moments in his military career include travelling to France whereupon he earned the ire of half the royal court in his efforts to procure supplies and funds for the Army, which he did so successfully, attempting to round up a regiment of enslaved black men who would be able to earn their freedom in exchange for fighting in the war, and providing reconnaissance and translation for the Baron von Steuben, as well as successfully challenging Charles Lee to a duel following his slanderous statements against the General, ending after their seconds (Hamilton and Evan Edwards) intervened following Lee being shot in the side, preventing them from continuing to a second round. Despite a handful of injuries overshadowed by continued acts of quick-thinking and on the fly strategy, Laurens continued to act consistently throughout the rest of the war, at times concerning his friends and family with his borderline suicidal disregard for his own safety. It would not be until a final skirmish near the Combahee River in 1782 put four bullets through Laurens, ending his military career permanently - and nearly his life - that he would finally mellow out somewhat.

V; A Courtly Affair

In this verse, he is John II from the House of Laurens, the Crowned Prince and heir apparent to the throne of the Kingdom of Naomh Solais (meaning “Saint of Light” in Irish), an island situated in the North Sea between the coastline of Scotland and Denmark. The island is roughly 72,600 square km, and known for its plentiful natural resources, particularly in fish, herbs and spices, and precious minerals, that make them a valuable partner in trade—and also a target for countries looking to expand their own territories. Fortunately, they’ve managed to secure allyship with nations able to lend their aid in times of need, in exchange for use of their waters, and occasional political favours. Due to their location, they’ve long been sought after by the English, leading to a common enemy that endeared them to countries such as France, Wales and Scotland.

The current monarch is King Henry I, the sole ruler after the death of his only wife Eleanor. Not long after his son turned eighteen, his health began to deteriorate due to unknown causes, possibly a type of cancer, which left in partially bed-bound for the remainder of his life. Henry and Eleanor had a total of thirteen children together, seven of them surviving infancy, and four reaching adulthood. John is the eldest of his living siblings, and also his parents’ fourth child in total. The order of birth is: Eleanor (passed in infancy), Ann Elizabeth (passed in infancy), Henry (born a year prior to John; died when he was five and John was four, respectively), John, Eleanor (born four years after John, passed at the age of six), Anna Sophia (passed in infancy), Elias (stillborn), Martha, Henry II, James (passed away due to accidental head injury, age nine), Samuel (passed in infancy), Eleanor Louise (passed in infancy), Mary Eleanor.

The Queen of Solais passed away a little less than a month after their final child was born, possibly due to lingering complications from her many pregnancies. John was fifteen at the time, and from then on what little freedoms he had were spent constantly preparing him for the eventuality of succeeding his father when the time came. 

Solas is a multi-language country with the majority of the population speaking English, Irish or Gaelic/Scottish. A little less than a quarter of the population can speak French. Their culture is predominantly that of Irish and Scottish Catholicism, in the beginning, but in the two hundred years there was a gradual shift and, at some point, those seeking refuge from religious discrimination in other countries began to outnumber those of Catholic citizens, with a number of Protestant, Atheist and Celtic Pagans settling down in Naomh Solais. The country quickly realized that outright forbidding any faith would turn into a bloody revolt among their rather diverse population, and instituted laws banning execution for religious reasons, as well as certain boundaries when it came to religion - the forceful converting of anyone to any faith, as well as any form of human sacrifice, became completely illegal. The waters were rather choppy for the next couple of decades, but over time the people settled into a mutual (if slightly begrudging) understanding. 

Their country considers the line of succession age based rather than sex based, leaving Martha next in line should anything happen to John. Eleanor was the island’s true monarch, and her death put Henry, a French-born Prince by birth, the country’s ruler until either his death or the time where John was capable of taking over. 

This verse is primarily Renaissance based and can take place anywhere between the early 16th century and the late 18th century.

Can religion be logical 9

The earth was considered to be a flat platform

Click here to read the previous part of this article

At that time, it was generally believed that the earth was like a flat platform and there was a sea across it where according to them the world would end. The story of earth sinking into the sea and Lord Vishnu’s incarnation as Varaha to rescue it or the story of Hanuman swallowing the sun was based on this concept. The sky was considered to be a gaseous roof where the constellations and the sun rested with some supernatural miracle and revolved around the earth. And astrology was based on the calculation of these constellations. Now in such situation gods could live only on mountains, distant from humans.

By the time of the Quran, a little wisdom had been developed, and even while adopting the old stuff, they edited and removed everything from the ground but were still stuck to the same concept with the sky and declared it to be made of seven levels like a multi-story building where prophets were allotted till the sixth level and God was placed on the seventh.

How Homo sapiens won the battle of survival?

With this view, all the verses of the Quran which have been said about heaven will be clearly understood, but now the concept of earth and universe has been cleared, then to make those verses scientific, they connect irrelevant loops. Also, due to the compulsion of not editing, they prove the meaning according to their convenience by adding brackets. For example, it is said that sun and all the stars are completing their journey according to the same concept, but today the people put a bracket in the middle and wrote ‘the orbit’, to prove that we had already revealed that the stars and planets are all revolving in their orbits.

How much is the credibility of hadiths

Since many unscientific hadiths (related to heaven like Miraj, Burraq, hiding behind the throne of the sun, fearing eclipses, offering special namaz, a sign of doom, etc.) become obstacle so a new trend has been started to deal with it. It is said that a committee is investigating the hadiths, that which particular hadith has been narrated by which ravis (who had propagated the hadith) and what is the credibility and which of the hadiths/ incidents can be denied through their support?

That is, the credibility of the ravis of the hadiths written in the ninth century was not acknowledged by the people then. Their credibility is being checked after twelve hundred years now.

It was during Galileo‘s time when finding an out-of-earth condition was initiated when Galileo started looking into space by refining Lippershey’s ordinary telescope. Although this was started in the fifteenth century by the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, which Bruno proceeded resulting in eight years imprisonment and eventually executed by burning and finally Galileo stamped Copernicus’ theory.

what possibilities are there in the universe outside our planet

And since then religious scholars (especially Hindus and Muslims) have been constantly yearning to prove by twisting the symbolic statements that Copernicus, Bruno, and Galileo have revealed it much later but we have known it thousands of years ago.

Here you have to note two fun facts. In both versions of the Bibles, according to the lineage that is told from Adam to Abraham, the creation would have been found at the most ten thousand years ago whereas several human fossils of many millions of years ago and fossils of dinosaurs from six million years ago have been found.

And all the religious texts of the world may say that the human civilization in the world started with the creation of the world, but they cannot tell a word about the huge animals like mammoths and dinosaurs, who once had a monopoly on earth.

Views of Muslims on pharaoh’s mummy

There is an even more famous story in the Islamic world, which is related to a miracle of the Quran that how God presented Firon’s corpse to be an example in order to enlighten the world.

If God is there then how can it be from the point of view of science

A story is presented that (I will address this further as ‘Meem story’) how a corpse was found on the bank of the Red Sea and Muslims began to claim it to be Firon’s body. Then a Christian doctor/author Maurice Bucaille conducted tests on this corpse and converted to Islam himself, knowing that there was truth in the claims of the Muslims. This story is presented by magnifying a lot. How much truth is there in it, you should consider yourself.

The first oddity in this is that Firon is a title and not a name. The Quran or the Exodus (Part of Old Testament) has no period or identification of the Firon’s conflict with Moses but because Moses’ period It is believed to be three thousand BC and this mummy is also around the same period, then there is a possibility. But there is no proof anywhere that if this story associates with any of Seti I, Ramses II or Merneptah. While this famous mummy belongs to Ramses II or Merneptah. Actually, there is a big confusion in this whole episode between Ramses II and Merneptah. Bucaille mentions Merneptah in his book, while the entire discussion is about Ramses II.

There is an issue here that in history Ramses II is recorded as the son of Seti I and Merneptah, as the thirteenth son of Ramses but surprisingly both have similar ends and the events with mummy in their stories. This problem is also with this mummy that according to the recorded history, its face resembles Merneptah and also Seti the Great.

The history of Ramses does not match the story of Exodus

However, this man (Ramses II) was buried in the KV7 tomb of the Valley of Kings, but his mummy was removed from there due to the looting there, rewrapped and placed in Queen Inhapi’s tomb but 72 hours later it was removed again and was secured in the tomb of High Priest Pinedjem II (located at Deir El-Bahri) where more than 50 mummies of kings, queens and members of the royal family were safe. This information is recorded on linen, wrapping mummies. From here, it was discovered in 1881 by German egyptologists Emile Brugsch and French Egyptologist Gaston Maspero.

While Merneptah was buried in KV8, his mummy was found in the KV35 tomb of the Amenhotep II which Victor Loret discovered along with 18 other mummies and in 1907, at the Museum of Cairo, Dr G. Elliott Smith unwrapped and examined it.

what are the possibilities for new writers

During their visit in 1974, the archaeologists found that mummy’s condition was deteriorating and then it was deported to Paris as a king, issuing a passport. Where during the examination it was found that it was being attacked by a fungus, which was treated. Then some wounds and fractures in his body were confirmed by tests and scientific analysis. It was clear from the body that he was suffering from Arthritis badly. Recent studies also suggest that Ankylosing Spondylitis may be the cause. He was also suffering from Haunched back in the last decade of life, dental infections were confirmed as well and these things were considered the cause of death.

Ramses’ body was mummified

The examiners here paid particular attention to mummy’s thin neck. The x-ray revealed a wood stuck between his upper chest and head that was holding the head steady. It was concluded that since the people of Egyptian culture believed afterlife, people believed in life and would preserve themselves as mummies, in such a situation, they believed that if a body part is left, then the soul will not be able to exist in the life after death and during the mummification process, the head of the corpse may have been moved from its place, then they used wood to keep it stable. The mummy was then sent back to Cairo where it was placed in the Museum of Cairo and was visited by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and his wife. From here, an attempt to prove him to be Firon, associated with Moses began. The mainstay of which was sea salt traces found on mummy. Then there was no research on if this salt was part of the mummification process. This theory was implanted into Bucaille’s mind by Islamic scholar Yusuf Estes when Bucaille was talking about preserving the mummies over Merneptah’s mummy among scholars in the Museum of Cairo.

Now come to Maurice Bucaille. As per ‘Meem story‘ Bucaille was a Christian and had no knowledge of Islam or Quran beforehand (Yusuf Estes also insisted on it) while around this research Bucaille was the family physician of King Faisal and the royal family of Saudi Arabia and the then ruler of Egypt, Anwar Sadat, were also among his clients, who had given Bucaille a special exemption and facility for research on royal mummies. However, other researchers did not agree with the conclusion of the work at all, and they raised questions on this.

How to write a book in Microsoft word  

Bucaille did not write about drowning in the first official report, but the book that he wrote later, “The Bible, the Quran and Science“, emphasized this, while emphasizing more upon religious prejudice than fact. Though the Islamic world welcomed the book, it was severely criticized outside Islam. It is believed that Bucaille did this trick by finding an easy chance to make a different identity in Islam and to increase his influence among rulers like Anwar Sadat and King Faisal and he got all that.

Claims of Muslims v/s facts

Now come to the claims of ‘Meem story‘. The claim is that Firon’s corpse was found on the side of the Red Sea, while this mummy was found in the tomb of Pinedjem II. It is claimed that this is the same Firon who was drowned in the sea chasing Moses but neither it is clear from the Quran nor the Exodus that whom Moses had a conflict with among Seti I, Ramses II or Merneptah. Because they all were Firon or Pharaohs and interestingly, none of them died due to drowning.

It is claimed that God preserved Firon’s corpse in a natural way, while the reality is that it is a mummy and has gone through the mummification process to this stage. It is claimed that sea salt traces on the mummies confirm that he died of drowning, but sea salt and baking soda mixture were part of the mummification process that was also found on other mummies.

Then claim is that Firon associated with Moses was drowned in chasing Moses and his body was later taken out. Even if it is believed, the question arises that corpse would not have been left as unprotected as it was. While even the common priests of that era were mummified and preserved, then why would they not preserve their dead ruler? Although there is no evidence that his corpse was taken out after drowning, then left unprotected or safe. Secondly, this story is also mythological, originating from the Exodus and there is no description of this story with any other ruler of that period.

And yet, even if all the claims including Bucaille’s (except for the natural reserve / mummified part, because the mummy is proved) are believed, then how can a mummy be a lesson to anyone? This was human workmanship and was an art for the ancient Egyptians, with the help of this not only the royal family, the rich people of the state, the priests but also the common well-to-do people used to secure their bodies. The witness of which are many mummies still present. What is a miracle in them? On the official website of Egypt’s Department of Archeology, you can read about Ramses and other mummies that no one was died by drowning in the sea.

They all smiled and immediately a few had their phones open, another had a rig and they sent her friend requests, each of their usernames was related to their appearance and personality or certain events that helped define them individually. When she said about not being able to do the dancing games they shared a look then smiled at her, “It’s okay we aren’t much dancers ourselves.” One replied and so they chose to join her and continue hanging out instead, well the Waco games went about as well as one would think when most of them didn’t have human based strength. Some of the machines got crumpled and one bent in half which lead to the L’s staring then bursting out laughing and teasing the one who broke it.

@a-drop-of-nightshade

Izzy didn't usually go to the beach but her mom wanted to go so she followed along with her. So while she was off having fun she went to the nearby arcade and smirked seeing the little ride out front. Hopping on she put in what change she had and just enjoyed the ride. Sitting there in her bikini she just rocked along with the ride not realizing she was drawing a crowd.

[a-drop-of-nightshade]

Silver wasn’t sure if he’d want a weapon to feel safer or not, but it was better safe than sorry, he’d rather plan out for the worst case than be sorry. “Yes sir, she definitely is a fighter. She’s got the scars to show for it too, but she’s just all the more beautiful for it.” He laughed, he really couldn’t help but sing Izzy’s praises, how could he not? So he just sent him a photo of Izzy, it was one of his favourites of her, it was when she was in the middle of cooking one of her hog roasts, but it was the end of the day the sun setting and it just seemed perfect as it framed Izzy looking back at him smiling like she always did at him.

He laughed nervously, “It’s a complicated thing if you think about it, which can be dangerous, honestly I’d just go with the flow it’s a lot safer with these matters, but I am trying to help and will use all I can to do so. I don’t want to make Izzy worry if I can help it, so I’ll do what I can not to be dead weight.” He said, he had things all ready for the worst case, but he could in an instant t cash in more points at any time. The wonders of Constellation and its points system baffled him but it was never unfair, it was equal to all alters, it was up to each alter individually how they earned and spent their points. They even had a leaderboard for most points like a video game, it always made him a little bit proud of himself to see his name up in the top 5.

Silver’s anger had just swallowed him so quickly, he didn’t think about the danger as he made his RIG nearly overload, he didn’t think of it as he grabbed Robert with enough force to crush his arms to his sides and bend the metal inside him before he yanked him enough to scramble his insides. He was just driven by sheer fucking rage as he ran forwards, able to hit the speeding target right out of the air into the ground, roaring in anger not even registering the pain of broken bones. He was just fuming, murderous and he meant he’ll for it, if Carson dared to try and touch Izzy again he would start cashing things in that were far more dangerous than helpful to make sure he got ruined and suffered for eternity. There was a dark side to everything, even Constellation.

He felt that sting all down his back, then came the flood of cold that made his head throb as the nanites got released into his blood stream. He blinked rapidly as he stalked back, trying to shake off the burning rage that clung to his senses, he was so pissed he didn’t know how to shake it off before he heard running and realised he’d nearly walked straight past Cassie’s. He saw Izzy and his rage melted away, he smiled then winced in pain as he finally looked down and blanched seeing his hand, he pulled it behind his back before he looked up to see how shocked Izzy looked, “uhhh, happy birthday babe!” He said with a laugh, anything dark inside of him quickly shoved down and hidden away as the exhaustion rushed through him.

But then she seemed to process what he had done and started to storm towards him, “h-hey! Wait wait! Babe!” He saw that she was about to probably punch him and he cashed in a doctors call as quick as he could, rapidly backing away holding his good hand out, “BABE IM SORRY! I CAN EXPLAIN!!” He yelled out before squeaking and shrinking as she grabbed him by the shoulders, he tensed up and braced for the hit but when it never came he cracked open and eye. Instead he saw she was faffing with his RIG he grimaced seeing the reports pop up about his hand, he blanched when she grabbed his arm and he sucked in a sharp breath, “Thatreallyfuckinghurtsbabe.” He wheezed out as she rubbed it, the split skin was frothing some the nanites working to fix things as best they could.

Before he could even protest he was getting dragged towards her bike, but thankfully a new portal tore open, a wave of alcohol rushed out and Silver choked slightly eyes watering, “Jeez Doc.” He croaked out as a very tired and older looking L walked out, he was wearing a doctors coat, he had a pair of shorts and slippers on, his shirt was that of a band tee and he pulled out a flask and swigged from it, he looked over Silver with eyes that glowed gold before he snorted and looked at Izzy, “You wanna hit him before or after because I’m only healing him once.” He grumbled to the blonde woman.

L had planned this for a while, he had worked with his alters on constellation to know what he d need he found out how many points it would cost, he secured schematics and layouts and paid points to reserve certain things. He wanted to give Izzy the best possible present and birthday he could and he knew just what it would be. However he knew that with their bond she would get worried over him so he had to word this carefully. He had Cassie come over and explained he wanted to give her a surprise, he didn’t say what, but he needed to keep her occupied as there was a chance she’d get some alarms and alerted he was stressing his body out or something.

“Okay so I need to go pick up your present, but it may set off some alerts for you cause we know how self up I am at running around.” He laughed, he had refused a lift, he avoided saying where he was going and he had said he wanted them to spend some mother daughter time together and get all pampered and have some girl time before he came back with her gift. Once that was all sorted he had slipped out and cashed in the first of his points a portal opening before him he stepped through and let out a breath looking down at the mansion.

“This is gonna get me punched.” He chuckled dryly before he started cashing in points, invisibility potions, protection against being scanned by tech, muffling spell scrolls and more. When he was ready he activated all he needed too and slipped in heading past the guards at the entrance and into the building, he followed the navigation on his RIG slipping past patrols until he came up to the vault. He chased in his next points and pulled a face seeing how purple threads glitched and danced to form a perfect clone of Robert Carson, as it approached the vault it would open and Silver grinned.

Heading inside he found the specified panel and following the guide he deactivated the stasis pod, his heart was going wild but he grinned before realising his potion of invisibility ran out. He spotted the note warning about a bucket and as the pod opened he panicked and then found a tub of sorts, dumping the content on the ground he ran back and held it out to the man inside, “Ah hi sir, uh here! Also uh, not to rush but we gotta go like… asap.” He laughed nervously.

Beach days were rare for L’s but a bunch of them had agreed to go and their supervising Cinder had been selected and dragged out with them, so whilst some of the more sea friendly L’s had fun on the beach with the god some snuck off to the local arcade, they were chatting and counting change between them and someone had swiped Cin’s card which got a few cheers and then got them all drinks and snacks which they began to eat as they headed over to the arcade before someone pointed out how there was an Izzy. That got everyone’s head turning and the majority just sort of stood there and stared, some were red faced others had interesting thoughts along the reasons of her rocking.

Izzy didn't usually go to the beach but her mom wanted to go so she followed along with her. So while she was off having fun she went to the nearby arcade and smirked seeing the little ride out front. Hopping on she put in what change she had and just enjoyed the ride. Sitting there in her bikini she just rocked along with the ride not realizing she was drawing a crowd.

Despite clearly competing for her attention they still worked with each other for the benefit of the group, they shared tokens and passed around an unlimited card that they went off and got a shit load of snacks with, bringing them back to share with everyone. In the end there were so many tickets between them all, as she moved they moved with her and the next game the human looking L stepped up to play with her, he had an almost identical reaction to hers, just shooting on instinct and it was clear why because they called him Merc. He kept up with her and they ended up hitting a joint jackpot and he looked at her, “not bad but not quite accurate either, I wish they had more recoil I might get more into it then.” He mused.

The group did their best to include Izzy and asked about her too, some had some scars they wanted to compare, others enjoyed hearing about what she’d like to play most. They all began to rack up the points and scores across all different games, when it came to the shooting game Merc grinned at her, “If you want we can go to an actual shooting range, get the real experience, but it was fun to shoot with you too.” He offered as he grabbed up his own reel of tickets to where he wore them like an ammo strap across his chest. As they moved along again they just moved and had her in the centre of their group, involving her as best they could as they didn’t want her to feel left out but also they didn’t want her to feel pressured, “What game do you want to play next?” The tentacle haired one they called Void asked her, passing over a hot dog.

The L’s were happy to show off with her, they loved sharing stories and the few who got their hands slapped held their hands up and grumbled apologised but also got smacked around by the alters for pushing their luck. Merc smirked, “And I’ll have to show you mine.” He chuckled, “I’ll message you on constellation, unless you aren’t on it yet?” He asked. When over at the atomic ski ball Void cocked a brow and his lips spread into a wide grin, “Oh? You do now? Alright then, I’ll show you something.” He said, his tentacles for hair rising and oozing as he looked at her amused and grabbed the balls he tossed them up and down testing the weight before he smirked at her and then began to throw them one after another, he hit the targets in random order but he never missed even going for goals he even tossed one up them flicked it mid air, sending it shooting into the goal.

Merc smiled and pulled out his phone before sending her an invitation link, “Yeah here, it’s a huge network for us and it’s like, full of people who are similar and we all just use it to post shit. There’s forums, a points system that’s really fair and a shop, you can get services done with others and I heard novas can’t have human medicine well there’s people you can condition to make Nova made meds on here and shit.” He tried to summarise for her. Void was showing off and soon he was knees deep in tickets and he grinned at her, the others watched as she began to play and they cheered her on with each high score she matched to Void’s and even he laughed, “You did great.” He said with a grin.

When she looked over two choked on their drinks, a third swore as he nearly dropped his ice cream and three more took a long drag from their smokes before passing the joints. But the moment she spoke all of them began to scramble for spare change, they all looked similar but yet also different, they tripped over and shoved each other out the way to get to her where she was presented with more change than she probably needed from various hands.

The healer was still holding the baby awkwardly and it was so clear he didn’t know what to do with it, but then the small Cinder waddled over and what he said had every L looking at him alarmed, “Absolutely not, do you have any idea how pissed he’ll be?!” He exclaimed.

Everyone had a phone, and everyone hid them in a second flat, “Yeah Nah, we don’t need a hyper mad Watcher.” Another remarked, someone called for a search function from Constellation but it would take a good while because there was a queue. Another L walked over and picked the Cinder up into his arms, “Mm you can’t tell what sort of place she was form can you little man?“ he asked.

@a-drop-of-nightshade

After the mass reset thanks to Fox things were slowly being pieced back together. While the mass amount of L's had shown up to help rebuild there was something they probably didn't expect to see in the ruins of Cinder's temple. A small, blue, sobbing baby. The little Izzy had been somehow left behind and just cried her eyes out because she'd been hurt and had a bad bruise across the whole left side of her body. The tiny blue infant looked frail as glass and she seemed to be the only thing making noise.

[a-drop-of-nightshade]

Her show of adjusting herself did not go unnoticed, that just renewed the eagerness to shoot their shot and see who got lucky. The bug L grinned at Izzy proudly when she noticed his work of throwing the guards and staff out of it, the other L handed out the drinks and even passed her one. They all followed her and watched her with eagerness, a couple of buckets appeared seemingly out of nowhere to gather the tokens that shot out. Soon the L’s followed after her and seeing her start to play they all looked at each other and grinned before taking up spaces around her and beginning to play, passing the buckets around and beginning to chat, eagerly inviting her into the conversation.
