You know that scene from the stolen sanguine au of @lilianade-comics? Where Vlad reveals his revenge to Jack and Maddie? I love that reveal and my brain went: "anger's good. Now add sadness as an undertone" because let's be honest, I love a little bit of hurt in my food.

"So then, tell me" Vlad goads with a broad smile on his face: "How does it feel" he says, evading his enemies constant attacks with ease, gripping Jack's wrist, tightening his hold until he hears the subtle crack of it breaking to his inmense glee.

His friend enemy falling to his knees then to the floor as he flungs Maddie onto him: both looking at him with hatred. Hatred that took him so long to see, to accept. "How does it feel" he repeats slowly, tauntingly looking at them from above: "That your daughter hates you and loves me instead" he said baring his sharp teeth at them. Revelling as both clench their fists with a snarl on their faces.

Who's the real monster?

And as he slowly fades into mist, he declaredd: "That is my revenge"

Away from the woods and the feeling of hatred and betrayal, in the safety of the castle walls where his little heart resides peacefully sleeping the night away, a silver haired man emerges from the fog with a smirk on his face.

Thunder booms on the outside world as lightning and rain fall from the sky first lightly, with a tremor and then all at once as if being physically pulled by an unknown weight. All of it much in the same way the satisfied smirk is pulled into a frown on the man's face.

An unknown weight... but it's not unknown at all, is it? The man thinks, as the feeling of brokenness, hurt and terrible loneliness flood his chest while he looks out the window devoid of his reflection. As he tries to cry tears he is incapable of shedding, as he looks out to the sky doing so for him.

You can honestly never go wrong with some Vampire Vlad action. Now I just need to design a cool outfit for him!

Title: Just One Bite

Chapter Title: Wicked Thoughts

Summary: Vlad had spent so long planning and so long waiting for just the right time to strike. He was not prepared for this much improvising.

Danny didn't think much of the last-minute family trip up north for his parent's college reunion. He should have asked to stay home.

Ch 2 | Ch 3

When he saw the obnoxious RV pull up his long private driveway, Vlad didn't bother hiding his grin. He’d been waiting so long for this and was beyond thrilled that they had actually come.

After all this time, all he needed was a simple invitation.

His face fell when the children stepped out of the vehicle.

He didn’t invite children. Children were not part of the plan.

He sighed, of course, Jack would mess up his plans.

At least the children were teenagers so they wouldn’t need constant supervision. 

They wouldn’t need their mother with them at all times.

And then she stepped out of the car. As beautiful as ever.

In fact, she was more beautiful now than she was twenty years ago. She aged like wine.

“Welcome,” he said as he stepped out of the doorway and onto the covered front porch. “Hope the drive wasn’t too bad.”

“Vladdie!” Jack greeted with a surprising amount of enthusiasm for a man who had presumably driven for several hours straight.

“Are we the first ones here?” Maddie asked as she looked around the empty driveway.

“Well, you are a day early.” He said pausing only long enough for their confusion to sink in before he added, “Which was intentional. I figured with how close we used to be, and how long it’s been, we could use the extra time to get reacquainted.”

He kept his eyes on Maddie the entire time. She couldn’t hold his gaze.

That was fine. They had 24 hours.

The only problem was the children.

He did not account for children in his plans.

“Anyone need to use the bathroom?” He asked, keeping up the good host role.

Both Jack and the daughter raised their hands immediately.

Two down, one to go.

“Right this way,” he said, gesturing to the doorway behind him.

The family followed him in. He gave them a moment to gawk at the entryway.

He had spent quite a lot of time restoring this old Victorian, and it was nice to have his hard work recognized.

“Jack, you can go to the first door on the left.”

Vlad waited for Jack’s stomping footsteps to die out before continuing, “And just up the stairs and three doors on the right, is for you, miss,” He hesitated slightly because he had no idea what these kids' names were.

“Jasmine,” she offered before running up the stairs herself.

“That’s a pretty name.”

“Thanks, it was Jack’s idea.”

“Oh?” Vlad wasn’t expecting that.

“Yeah,” Maddie said wistfully, “he wanted a pretty name for his little princess. So we looked up flowers.”

“I’m surprised he didn’t pick Rose.” He didn’t know that Jack knew there were other flowers.

“It was a contender, but we figured with the possibility of her getting my red hair, we decided against it.”

“What else didn’t get picked?” the son asked.

Maddie thought for a moment, idly tapping her chin as she thought. Just like she used to. “Let's see, I believe it was Lily, Violet, and Daisy.”

“Wasn’t our hamster named Daisy?”

“It was! Ironically Jazz came up with that on her own.”

“Why don’t we go to the living room while we wait for the others?” Vlad suggested, moving forward with his plan.

The group went further into the house, the living room was just past the stairway.

There was a mix of modern amenities and old-world charm. To him, it helped keep the room timeless. Mixing old with new so it didn’t look like it was stuck in any one era.

“Have a seat anywhere you like.” Vlad offered.

The boy sat on the couch. Or perhaps dropped was a better word for it.

Maddie, on the other hand, declined. “I’m going to keep standing if you don’t mind. If I sit for one more second my spine is going to explode.”

“It’s no problem,” Vlad said, knowing full well that Maddie wouldn’t want to sit still. She never really liked it. She was always moving. Never was a fan of having to sit through long lectures back in college.

He was right to assume that wouldn’t change.

“If you’d like to stretch your legs a bit, I can give you a quick tour?” Vlad offered as if that wasn’t part of his plan all along.

“Yeah, sure. That’d be nice.” Maddie said with a smile.

Oh, he missed that smile.

“Wonderful.”

“Can I come?” the boy asked.

What?

“Of course, Sweetie,” Maddie said before he could react.

No!

Vlad turned towards the doorway to start the tour and hide his annoyance.

What was he going to have to do to get rid of this kid?

Despite the setback, Vlad carried on.

He had them follow him back to the front door and told them the history of the house. He pointed out areas that he had restored, to pieces of furniture that were antiques and which ones were reproductions. 

He pointed out the bookcase in the hall and mentioned the collections it held. He did not mention that there was a book that when pulled would open the bookcase like a door and reveal an extra room.

He would show Maddie that later, when they were finally alone.

At some point, the daughter, Jasmine, joined them. He had greeted her but he wasn’t really paying attention then. He was in full realtor mode as he talked about his house.

Other than the children, this was going just as he had expected. 

“This must have taken forever,” the boy, who he had learned was called Danny, said as he looked about the final room of the tour—the living room, back where they had started.

“It did take time, but it was a labor of love.”

“It shows,” he said simply. 

“Thank you.” 

Vlad hadn’t been expecting Jack’s son to be so thoughtful. Then again, he was Maddie’s son too.

Jack finally found his way into the living room, “Oh there you guys are!”

Vlad wasn’t sure he did a very good job at hiding his grimace. Luckily the family was too busy greeting him to notice.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

It wasn’t until dinner that Jack said something that reminded Vlad of all the ugly details of his plan.

He took a very long drink of his wine instead of replying.

How exactly did Jack expect him to respond anyway? Thanks for leaving me for dead and then the only proof he got that his friends weren’t dead as well, was a wedding invitation.

Yeah, sorry I couldn’t make the wedding, I actively dying. But don’t worry about it. I’m better now.

How could that man be so stupid?

How did he even win Maddie’s heart?

She was smarter than that!

But maybe she wasn’t? She did have two children with him. They were clearly their children. 

Even if he was trying to pretend that they were adopted.

Vlad did what he could to remain civil for the rest of the night. There were many things he didn’t say.

A lot of murder and violence that he did not commit.

Not yet.

On this day - 14th December 1476

.

Death of Vlad Țepeș - Vlad the Impaler

.

Vlad the Impaler was born - and died - in Romania.

However, where and how his death happened, and where Vlad’s body was laid to rest, is cloaked in mystery.

One such place accepted as Vlad's final resting place, is Snagov Monastery.

Snagov Monastery, sits on a small island in the middle of Snagov Lake, about 30 kilometers north of Bucharest.

Access is from the tiny village of Silestru.

The mystery surrounding Snagov Monastery begins with its origins.

Some experts claim it was founded by the grandfather of Vlad Țepeș.

Some say Țepeș ordered its construction himself.

Other historians suggest that it dates from around 1408, meaning that neither Vlad nor his grandfather was the likely founder.

Vlad’s death continues the mystery.

Scholars generally agree that he was killed on 14th December 1476, but whether he died in battle against the Turks, or was assassinated by political enemies from his own country, has not been established conclusively.

Being an ill-tempered, bloodthirsty leader, Vlad had a LOT of enemies!!

Scholars generally believe that Vlad was decapitated, and that his head was taken to the Ottoman rulers in Constantinople.

But what about his body?

Its suggested that Vlad may have died not far from Lake Snagov, and that logically, this was the favoured location for interment of his body.

Vlad’s followers did not want to see their leader’s body defiled, or used for propaganda purposes.

So they buried him in this remote, inaccessible setting, with an additional precaution.

They buried his body deep beneath the church floor.

Above his tomb they created a false grave and filled it with animal bones.

When researchers dug under the church in 1933 and only found animal bones, the reaction by academics was -

“This can’t be the right grave.”

Reaction by the superstitious was,

“The vampire has flown away.”

The reaction from loyalists was,

“He is still safe down there.” ~

Ok, so in the original Bram Stoker novel, sunlight is not lethal to Dracula. He just loses most of his powers. I'm bringing this up cuz I want a horror comedy where the hero, sensing dawn, tears off the curtains as a last-ditch effort only to have the vampire go "Aw shit, there goes most of my fancy powers. Guess I'll have to beat your ass the old-fashioned way" then proceeds to just deck the hero cuz a vampire at half-strength is still a fucking vampire.

Vampire Misunderstanding

So! Danny got adopted by Bruce Wayne, but he doesn't know that Bruce is the Batman. He is just supernaturally oblivious to all things Batman related going on in the House.

But he does notice that Bruce leaves home a lot at night, that he doesn't like to go out in the day and often has his parties at night, and once or twice he's caught Bruce with a bit if blood still splattered on his cheek.

So he comes to the only plausible conclusion. Bruce is a Vampire.

He starts trying to hint at the fact that he knows, but doesn't want to just go out and say it. What if Bruce reacts negatively to him knowing? He's dealt with enough Supernatural Beings to know that they don't like other people (and especially other supernatural beings) intruding on their lives.

So Danny decided to subtly hint at it.

He started asking questions like "So hypothetically, how would you deal with having a Garlic Allergy in Gotham?" Or "So if you had very sensitive skin that could sunburn extremely easily, how much cloud cover would you need to go outside?" And "So what's your opinion on a High-Iron Diet?"

Basically just tossing out questions and trying to Guage Bruce's reaction.

He thinks he's doing a good job!

...

Bruce is certain that he has adopted a Vampire.

Danny is a good kid, but he has a few oddities that are hard to ignore.

For one, his skin is constantly Ice Cold, but he never seens to be bothered by it. As if he was an Undead that didn't require Body Heat anymore.

He also seems to like Hanging out in the Graveyard outside, and when asked about it he says that he is comforted by the place. Just like the Vampires he has met in the past, who feel comfortable when surrounded by Death.

And of course the biggest reason for suspicion is the fact that Danny seems to be hinting at it to him.

He keeps asking stuff like "How would you deal with a Garlic Allergy in Gotham?", probably trying to hint that he is a Vampire who can't eat Garlic, or asking about easy to sunburn skin, saying that he is probably not a Daywalker.

Bruce hopes Danny will just come clean about it soon, he doesn't want to intrude upon the kid when he is so obviously nervous about how he will react.

DP x DC prompt [3]

during one of the final psych evals at Arkham right before he gets to be released, the whole thing wrapped up so tidy, just a little relapse which involved a robbery. Getting sent back to Arkham, but he got to stay at the asylum so long that he no longer has to serve a prison sentence, score!

But during that eval his overseeing psychiatrist recommended him to have a change of scenery, some fresh non polluted air.

Riddler was rather convinced the guy was making this recommendation to everyone in Arkham in their own weird way to convince them to just leave Gotham and become someone else's problem. should he notify Batman about it somehow? nah, it’ll be more interesting to see how this is gonna turn out in the long run.

But can he leave the state? Can he even leave the city? he never really bothered to look into it, at least not legally, up until now if he felt he needed to leave for one of his plans he just did it.

Turns out he can, it’s a whole hassle and a half though, first a judge and then a probation officer and he’s pretty sure both were like “what the hell is this psychiatrist guy thinking!?” but at the same time, shrink probably knows what he’s doing (WRONG) so he’s allowed to go visit out of state family or whatever.

he had to wear this nice ankle monitor though, Wayne Enterprises™ tech, not overly bulky but still very present. real fancy, and a fun extra challenge heh.

now as for a good reason to leave New Jersey he’s going to need distant relatives, and he finds some, great grandpa walker also has a son, who had a son who had a daughter Madeline, who married some guy Jack Fenton, and she lives somewhere out in the boonies Illinois. great he’ll visit her.

far enough away in all sense of the word that there is no way she knows anything about him. it would be best to call her first though, be polite about it.

“hello, you have reached Fenton works, this is Maddie speaking” 

“Riddle me this-” ah whoops, habit, oh whatever, “we don’t share parents, but certainly a part of your life, from laughter to strife. Who am I?”

there is a pause …  he’s going to be a bit disappointed if she hangs up if he’s honest.

“cousins~” comes the cheery reply.

“correct! the name is Edward Nygma, we are distantly related you and I and well-”

“oh you simply must come visit!” 

well this was rather easy, perhaps a little too easy, but she lives in the midwest so maybe just going with whatever some guy says over the phone is normal there? stranger danger not really a thing in a small town where everyone knows everyone?

things start to make a little more sense once he gets there and he’s starting to think some things might run in the family. like a preference for the colour green and weird hyperfixations and genius bordering on insanity. Though that remains to be seen, Jack does not seem like a very bright light after his very enthusiastic welcome.

their kids however are observant and sharp. young Jasmine is wasting no time trying to psychoanalyze him. and the boy, Danny, he had not really meant to and he swears he’s sticking with calling the kid Danny so he wouldn’t seem overly familiar, but he might have called him little bird a couple times now.

but that’s all whatever, he’s playing nice here. and he doesn’t even have to worry about his eccentricities tripping him up because this place is insane.

There actually is a local teen vigilante active but he seems about as loved as he’s disliked. and the ghost boy’s enemies are basically all his own kind, which another crazy thing to now know about. ghost. they are real actually, how is Gotham not completely overrun? and how do they even work? and where do they keep coming from?

Edward might be getting a little sidetracked here. He had fully intended to sneakily get his next big game plan underway all the way out here, ankle monitor be damned. but he hasn’t made any progress at all.

Instead he’s been listening to Madeline and Jack to maybe figure out what the deal is with these ectoplasmic entities, he has to know, at this point he might go crazier if he doesn’t. 

He’s making Jasmine promise him not to get her doctorate in Gotham, he’s going back and forth with space riddles with Danny.

so yeah the whole thing kinda just became a vacation, maybe the psychiatrist had the right idea after all? hmm nah, probably not. but this is fun. He’s thinking about recommending this place to some of the others.

It's different enough to get the vacation feel, but enough crazy shit happens to make it all feel like home.

it is not until Maddie wants to talk with him about potentially switching the position of godfather of Danny to him rather than some weird rich friend of theirs that Edward realizes he might have lost the plot somewhere

Apparently the little bird basically begged them with a powerpoint presentation on how he likes Edward so much more than that Vladimir guy. 

And honestly, the fellow sounds like a Dracula Lutho so even if it’s kinda sad Edward can understand why he’d be considered a better option. Even if the guy has more money and a huge company that makes him said money. And it’s not like the Fentons know about his Riddler activities.

Thinking it over, Edward does think that Danny would like Gotham and Wayne has that space program thing right? The kid is definitely smart enough for that (Nygma certified), and yeah Edward does quite like their space themed back and forth. So, fuck it, why not, what is the worst that could happen?

He doubts Maddie and Jack are gonna kick it any time soon anyway out here in the boonies, it’s just a title thing, a stamp of approval or something.

he should have known he was going to eat those words later… he had this whole beautifully elaborate trap set up for the whole Batclan, and he was just getting to the good part when his phone went off.

Had to put the whole thing on pause cause that particular contact wasn’t gonna get ignored. He did promise to be available.

If the whole thing he had planned now went tits up he could at the very least laugh later at the reactions of the bats as he told them to “hold up one second, I have to take this.” while they were all in various perilous positions. 

Sadly he did have to go, he had a very distressed godson to pick up.

Castlevania vampires & their historical/literary counterparts

[thebramblewood]

Noble Vampires: Elle DeVampiro, Inna Cents, Vlad Bloodvein

(These are all clearly corny vampiric pseudonyms, aren't they?)

As you can see, I strayed pretty far from their original designs, especially with Elle and Vlad! As they fit into the context of my story, I see them as among the oldest and most elite vampires in Forgotten Hollow. They're all nobles from different eras and so were used to being waited on hand and foot, which didn't change when they became vampires. They've always been surrounded by a coterie of human thralls and lesser vampires who fulfill their every need so they never have to lift a finger.

But there are certain consequences to this eternal life of luxury. As vampires grow older, their powers can grow more potent - but the opposite is also true. If they allow their mental and physical capabilities to languish, they stagnate and eventually atrophy, leading to visible deterioration. These three are extremely delusional and out of touch with reality. They live in their own little fantasies, fully believing they look every bit as flawless and regal as they ever did even as the cracks are very much starting to show. Although their age and status intimidate younger vampires and they have their little "hazing rituals" for newborns, they're ultimately quite harmless.

Misunderstanding Vampire Danny

Things to add to story line thing I don’t really know what to call the stuff I write at this point

Danny and Vlad (With fetuses Dani and Dan or in this their new names are Eleanor and Jordan) have to leave their OG universe because the GIW and The Fenton parents with them almost killing Eleanor and Jordan so Danny and Vlad had to dip

Danny and Vlad end up in the DC universe where this is where the main misunderstanding is from the ecto from the DP world looks red like blood red in the DC universe, anyway Vlad is doing his usual shady business man things and moves them all to Gotham to be exact the manner closest to the Wayne manner so in classic Batfam fashion they go to greet (investigate) the new neighbors

So Bruce and Tim go to greet the new neighbors they meet vlad who is 100% a vampire (your so close) but before they can ask him to many questions vlad shuts the door and says goodbye and to the Batfam this is very suspicious behavior

And a few days after vlad and Danny move in while the just vlad to everyone else vlad has to go on a work trip to metropolis and leaves that same night Danny decides to go outside to get some fresh air but that the same time Damien decides to go outside as well and they meet to Damien it looks like Vlad has been keeping a halfing vampire and got him pregnant who is the same age as him that is 13 and to Danny he just sees a potential new friend so they talk and Damian misunderstands literally everything Danny says about his home life and his relationship Vlad

Before Damien leaves to go tell the rest of his family so they can do something about it Danny ask Damian to come and talk to him again

And that’s all for the main plot of this now on to the little things of this

Danny has bandages around his neck from the GIW or Bad Fenton reveal so it gives more to the vampire misunderstanding

Danny only goes out that night because vlad gets a bit overprotective when Danny’s outside during the day

Danny is wearing a nightgown because he’s a bad ass bitch like that (and because I want more fic of Danny in a dress and if you want to see what I’m thinking for the nightgown just look at the OG post there are pics of it)

Danny has very long white hair that looks like it’s never been cut

Vlad’s business trip is to go overshadow and scam Lex Luther

Vlad got overprotective of Danny because his obsession switched with Maddie to Danny (not romantically that’s just the Batfam misunderstanding)

Danny looks mysterious af when he and Damian meet

Heyy probably will add more when I feel like it byeee

Ch 1 | Ch 3

Vlad waited until everyone had finally gone to sleep. He waited for hours.

Then he slipped out of his room and silently crept down the hall.

He waited just outside the closed bedroom door as the couple inside slept.

He waited in the dark.

Sometime after two, Jack got up to use the restroom.

Now was his chance.

The door was left open.

Vlad whispered for Maddie. Called to her softly from just beyond the threshold.

He just needed her to wake up enough to try and find the source of the sound but not enough to identify it.

Just enough to make her curious.

He whispers one last time as she starts to stir and then slips back into the dark.

Carefully he leads her out of the room and down the hall.

It took a lot of practice to move about without a sound, but he had plenty of time to practice.

He led her to the bookcase with the secret entrance. He was just far enough ahead that he could slip inside and the door could close before she made it around the corner.

The door softly thumped closed. It wasn’t very loud, but he knew she heard it.

He made himself comfortable in his secluded den as he waited for her to figure out which book was the lever.

It didn't take long for her to enter.

She was so smart.

"Hello, my dear." He greeted from the comfort of his large winged armchair.

"Vlad?" Maddie said momentarily surprised before she regained her composure.

"Were you expecting someone else?" He teased.

"More like something else." She muttered.

He decided to ignore that for now.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"In my house?"

She sighed and rolled her eyes, "why are you awake at this hour? It's almost three in the morning."

"I could ask you the same thing."

She pauses for a moment, realizing she walked right into that. She took a moment, as if considering something, before she spoke again, “Something woke me up and I followed it here.”

“Still chasing the things that go bump in the night?”

“You say that like you don’t believe anymore?”

“On the contrary my dear, I’ve moved passed belief. It’s knowledge now. Truth.”

He stands up from his seat and takes a few paces towards her, “knowledge that I will gladly share with you.”

She narrows her eyes and watches him approach, “What’s the catch.”

Clever as always.

“When the reunion ends, say your goodbyes to everyone and stay here with me.”

“I can’t just leave. I have a family! I’m married!”

“It’s called a divorce. Plus, your children are teenagers, they’ll be fine.”

“Are you even hearing yourself right now?”

“Madaline why are you being so difficult? I’m promising you so much.”

“I’d be giving up even more.”

“You can’t be serious?”

“I could as you the same thing,” she said using his own words against him.

“Maddie please, you aren’t even thinking it over. There’s so much I can share with you.”

“At the price of my family?”

“It’s not like I’m asking you to kill them. Just leave them behind. It’s not like you haven’t done it before.”

“I’ve never-!” she started, but he cut her off.

“Liar!” He yelled.

She stared at him like a deer in the headlights.

He took a breath, “You left me. I was trapped and you both just left me there. Trapped in that house.”

In this house.

“Vlad I’m sorry. We were young and scared. We shouldn’t have left you there.”

“No, you shouldn’t have.”

She was quiet for a moment. Thinking over what was said before she spoke again.

“If you’re still mad about that, why do you want me to stay with you?”

He ignored the fact that he had every right to be mad after all he had been through. This wasn’t about that.

He wasn’t mad at her.

He could never be mad at her.

“Maddie, my dear, I’m willing to forgive you. I’m ready to. I just need you to stay.”

“You didn’t say why.”

‘“Do I need to?”

“Yes,” she said bluntly.

“Maddie,” he really was just going to have to say it, wasn’t he? “Maddie, I love you. I’ve always loved you.”

She shook her head.

Why was she doing that?

“No.” She took a half step back but kept her feet planted firmly. “No, you don’t.

“What are you talking about? Of course, I love you.”

“You may have had a crush on me in college, and for whatever reason you fixated on it, but you don’t love me. You like the ideal dream version of me that lives in your head. That girl isn’t real and she certainly isn’t me.” then she took a step towards Vlad, “Now I’m going to turn around and open this door. If you try anything, I’ll show you how I earned my black belt in Jiu-jitsu.”

Vlad didn’t move.

He didn’t say a word as she opened the door and walked out.

This wasn’t how this was supposed to go.

She wasn’t supposed to say no.

Why did she say no?

“Mom?”

Vlad perked up at the voice. Maddie’s son was down the hall.

“Oh sweetie, what are you doing up at this hour?” she said with a voice so sweet that you would never guess she had just threatened a man two seconds ago.

Vlad had let the door close, but that didn’t mean he didn’t have a way to watch.

He flipped open the false book on the table by the door and pulled out the remote control. A button press later and one of the shelves that lined the outer wall opened to reveal a screen that showed the hall.

“Couldn’t sleep. The house kept making weird noises, then I thought I heard yelling. Are you okay?”

“Oh, I’m fine dear. I was having a hard time sleeping too.” She brushed the hair away from his forehead and kissed it, “why don’t we go back now? We really shouldn’t be wandering around another person’s house this late.”

“Actually I’m a little thirsty.”

“Alright, I’m sure it’ll be alright if you get yourself something to drink in the kitchen, but then right to bed okay?”

“Okay,” Danny said with a sleepy smile.

The pair hugged and then parted ways.

Vlad just stared.

Maddie’s rejection was bad enough, but to see the way she doted on that boy of hers was even worse.

She needed to pay.

He needed her to hurt like he hurt.

To do that he needed to take away something she loved. Take away the thing she loved the most.

It wasn’t her husband.

Nor the daughter.

Vlad smiled to himself as a new plan started to come together.
