By Whiskeythepainaway & Lunarsaturn88

Sam, Dean, Reader. Eventually Sam x Reader.

Cowritten with @whiskeythepainaway

Title image is 100% @lunarsaturn88.

You hear voices, you wake up with a start, sitting up reaching for a gun that isn't there.

“Whoa, Y/N!” A deep voice, Dean, says as both men rush to your side.

“Careful, you will rip the stitches.” Sam says touching your shoulder and gently pressing you back onto the mattress.

Your hand lands on your bandages as you reach for your abdomen. “How long have I been out?” you croak. Your throat is dry.

“About two hours.” Sam says picking up a glass of water. He helps you up sit up just enough and holds the glass to your lips.

“Thank you.” You smile up at him after you take a drink.

While Sam is being nice and helpful, Dean is practically pacing the room.

“What do you remember?” Sam asks watching your face.

“Everything. Where is my gun?” You ask.

“We are not going to hurt you, Y/N.” Sam reassures you.

“Speak for yourself Sam.” Dean says curtly.

Sam turns his head to face him, you cannot see the expressions on his face.

“What!” Dean says to Sam, putting his hands out wide and shrugging. “We don't know who she is. She is awake only two hours after major blood loss. What the hell does ‘I won't bleed to death.’ mean. And look at the your shirt, the towels. THAT isn't right.” Dean says in a huff. “Just because you think you recognize her, doesn't mean I do.”

“I don't blame you Dean.” You say with a sigh. “You do know me, Dean.” You look at him. “The last time we crossed paths I was a waitress, with red hair, bright blue eyes. You kept looking at my ass.”

Dean looked at you, he tilted his head. “I look at every waitresses ass.” He shrugs. “So you admit you are a shifter.” Dean points a gun at you.

“Whoa Dean.” Sam says standing.

“No Dean, i have no idea what a shifter is, but I'm something worse.” You look him straight in the eye. “I'm a Fed.”

Dean’s eyes go cold. He cocks the gun, with a growl, still aiming for you.

Sam looks at you in shock. “Dean. What are you doing?” Sam said getting in between his brother and you. After all he and his brother had saved your life. This was truly strange you admitting that you were a fed. Sam turned his head looking at you with a hurt look in his eyes. “You’re a Fed?”

“Start talking Sister.” Dean growls the gun still in his hand.

“Sam didn't recognize my face, Dean.” You say looking at Dean.

“You recognized my name.” You say to Sam.

Sam swallowed the lump in his throat knowing that he recognized your name. He nodded his head slowly. “How long?”

“That night you let me stay.” You glance from Sam to Dean and blush. “Was the first time I met you. The next night I got an assignment to ‘follow and observe’. So Four months.”

“You mean you have been following us for months, I should shoot you now.” growls Dean.

“Dean.” Sam said trying to calm his brother down. The last thing that they needed was Dean flying off the handle bars and shooting you in a motel. If the manager heard the shot and called the police on them, what then?

“Sam, after how they treated us? Or have you forgotten the detention center in Colorado?”

Sam took a breath and looked at his brother with a dark look. “No, I haven’t forgotten about the detention center, Dean.” Sam said exasperated, as he ran his hand through his hair letting out a soft breath. He looked at you with a concerned gazed wondering if you had reported anything about them to the Feds since you had been following them.

“ Relax, I haven't written a report in three months. They don't know where you are. The only thing I have said is that I found you once and that you are difficult to track.” You play with a loose ends of a bandage.

“How can we trust her?” Dean says looking at Sam.

“I have never lied to you.” You sigh. “I just looked different.”

“I am Agent P. Special Ops in the FBI. ‘The Woman of Many Faces.’ Sometime Assassin, and Soldier.“ Dean huffs, the gun still aimed at you.

“Y/N is my birth name. One I haven’t gone by in too many years.” You look at Dean.

Dean wasn't convinced, the look on his face said it all.

“You have the keys to my car, go see for yourself. Just don't open any encrypted emails, or they will find our location.”

“Sammy.” Dean growls, throwing your key at him.

Sam caught the keys effortlessly. “Don’t shoot her.” He warned his brother, as he went towards the door. “I’ll be right back with her things.” He said as he left the room to go get your things from your car. He had to find out if you were telling them the truth and if you were, then they were going to have to figure out what they were going to do with you. They couldn’t exactly let you roam around free, following them and having your report back to the Feds. They already had a bad enough experience in the past with Feds. With Hendrickson and in Colorado. They didn’t need anymore.

“Hey Dean, can I ask you a question?”

“No.” He grumbles.

“Its to me obvious now, you didn't kill Camp and Sanchez. Do you have any ideas who did?”

The look of shock on his face when you said they were dead was almost comical. Then his face went cold again. “Son of a Bitch!” he growled. “They have been taken care of.” was all Dean said.

“Sure, sounds good.” You smile weakly.

“I am not looking for intel, Dean. I was just curious. Sanchez was always a douchebag.”

Dean just sits there looking at you. Anger coming off him in waves.

You decide to look at a spot on the wall, rather than Dean’s bitchface. You had been reflecting on Sam while waiting for him to return. How kind he always was. He picked you up off the ground as if you were a paper doll. He has the kindest eyes…

Sam came back into the room carrying the items that were in your car. Your entire life that was in your car. Your entire life that was going to be revealed to them shortly. Everything that the agency had given to you. Everything that you were going to reveal to them. Sam put your things down onto the table. “Dean will you put your gun down. Come on man.” Sam said giving his brother his classic bitch face.

You suppress a giggle at Sam. Taking a deep breath, or as deep of one as your battered body would let you, you prepare to tell the two Brothers your life’s story.

“Agent P. FBI. No photo., Agent Alexandra Petersen, FBI.” Dean is looking at your multitude of Id’s. He pales as he looks at Alexandra Petersen. He looks over at you, then back at the Id. His face has gone red. He grumbles something you can't hear.

Sam let out a soft chuckle. “Now do you believe her, Dean?”

Dean fidgets with two more Ids.

“Hey!! Irene Pepper, college student? That was you?” Dean asks surprised. He remembered the cute kid that flirted with him. Then he remembered he was supposed to be angry.

“Guilty as charged.” You smile.

“This just proves she has been tailing us.” Dean huffs tossing the Ids on the table. He rummages through a box of wigs and prosthetics.

Sam still has a handful if Id's. “The girl at the Diner last week. The crazy housekeeper who didn't understand english?” Sam looks at you incredulously. His face turns a little red at the next one.

“Enjoy the lap dance Sam?” you wink at him.

Dean looks up at your words, looking at Sam and then you and back to Sam. He takes the top Id from Sam. “Hey,” He says confused. He looks back at Sam.

Sam looked down in embarrassment and cleared his throat. He really didn’t want to answer that question that you had asked him or even the confused look that Dean was giving him. Now it was embarrassing that you even said anything.

“I have many faces.”is all you say.

Dean looks in the bottom of the box as Sam glances at you and puts the ids in his hands down. “I meant what I said about your hands.” you mouth to him with a wink.

Sam blushes again.

“What are these?” Dean asks pulling gadgets out of the box. Most of them look like they belong in the 80’s Ghostbusters movie.

“The one in your right hand is for finding tracking devices. The other finds any kind of transmitter or listening device.”

You sighed, you were watching the two men go through your life’s belongings. Most of it was from the Agency. “It’s sad really.”

The two men look up at you. You hadn't realized you had said that aloud.

“My life in a box.” you gesture at the stuff on the table. “Y/F/N Y/L/N is my birth name. I was Ten when my family was in a terrible car accident. I survived, barely. Since my parents died and I had no other family. The Government took me. I have no idea what they have done to me completely. By all the medical records I should have died. I woke in their training facility. I was a quick learner, I am pretty sure the did something to me. The blood thing is the most recent.” You look at Dean. “Just wash the clothes like normal and they will be as right as rain.” You chuckle sadly. “Honestly I don't know what all they have done, but I've found that I may pass out from blood loss, but I don't die from it. When my blood temperature gets below a certain amount it starts to decompose or something. I guess it's so if I'm found in a hospital they cannot identify me. Each one of my fingerprints were surgically altered and will match to a completely different person.” You look at your hands. “I think they even tried to make me stronger, but my body rejected it.” You look up at the brothers.

Sam has a compassionate look on his face. Dean. Dean still looks angry.

He storms from the room.

Sam looked at his brother’s retreating form. He knew that Dean was upset, but it wasn’t your fault that your life was like this. You didn’t have a choice in the matter of what you did. You had to report to your superiors, but he wondered something with all of the testing that they had done on you. Did you even want to do that anymore?

Sam turned his attention to you. “Y/N? Why tell us all of this now?”

“I've been recalled. That means ‘re-education’ or more likely more experiments.”

Sam took a breath rubbing his mouth lightly. “Do…” He bit his lower lip. “Now that you know what we do, do you still want to follow us around?”

“I'm still not sure what you do. I just don't…” You choke back a sob. “I can't go back.”

“Then don’t.” Sam said softly as he moved towards you. He put his hand lightly on your knee giving it a soft squeeze. “What do you want to do?”

“ I don't know, Sam. I'm killer. It's all I know.” You say looking down. “I doubt your brother is gonna just let me walk free anyway.” You look up to see Sam looking at you. You almost wish you could kiss those lips.

“That’s what I thought I was… but I do good, Y/N. My brother and I… we help people and that’s all we know…” Sam said softly. “Just like you saw tonight.” He said as his lips quirked a little bit. “You can do the same. You don’t have to be seen as a killer.”

You smile, looking in Sam's eyes. “I used to think I was doing good, find the serial killer, end their violence. I was good at it. Then…” a tear falls down your face. “He was a child, Sam. A eight year old child. I was supposed to slaughter a child.” You look down at your hands. “I-I-I killed him. Right in front of his parents.” You twist a part of a bandage in your hands. “Come to find out it was his father who was the murderer.” You whisper.

“You made a mistake Y/N.” Sam said softly as he wiped a stray tear that fell down your cheek. “We all make mistakes. Hell knows I have made quite a few of them.” He admitted to you pursing his lips together unsure if he should mention his mistakes that he had made in the past. He had released Lucifer and the apocalypse upon the world and that would probably make you hate him if he told you the truth.

“Did you ever slaughter an innocent child Sam?” you look up at him with tears in your eyes. “I've read your files, Sam. There isn't much, but I know damn well you save people. You don't kill the innocent.”

Sam let out a soft breath. “You’d be surprised…” He said softly as he looked down. “I’ve done much worse… Twice… actually…” He swallowed the lump in his throat. He didn’t know how he was going to explain that when the sun looked like it was dying was his fault and the apocalypse… that was all on him. All because he couldn’t leave things well enough alone.

You look up at Sam, you reach and place a hand on his. “This.”You wave your hand at the two of you. “Won't mean anything if we can't convince your brother to let me live.” You pause. “Sam, you are good, probably too damn good for this world.” You laugh. “It just haunts me. What I did. I’m sorry to unload on you. You don't deserve it. I've not had anyone be as nice to me as you have been.” You admit. “ever.”

“Some people deserve kindness Y/N.” Sam said offering you a small smile. “We’ll figure out how to deal with Dean… I know my brother… he’s just pissed off… he doesn’t like Feds… never has… not after what had happened in Colorado…” He said softly. “But what you say about being haunted… you're not the only one that’s haunted…” He squeezed your knee lightly. “Trust me on that one…” He said offering you a small painful smile that was almost sad.

“If if had a heart, I'd say I could be falling for you Sam.” You tease with a genuine smile. You take his hand in yours. “I really did mean that about your hands.” you smirk. “Seriously, thank you.” You look into Sam's eyes. They are light green, with tiny flecks of brown. You could easily get lost in them. Shaking your head. “Any more questions, master interrogator?” you smile.

Sam shook his head softly. “No…” He said softly biting his lower lip. “I’m trying to figure out how pissed off Dean’s going to be when he gets back… and how we will be dealing with him once he gets back…” He admitted softly as he looked into your eyes.

You lean closer to Sam, he seemed to adjust moving a fraction closer to you, you lean forward a little more only to grimace as a band of pain runs across your abdomen. You lean back against the pillows dropping Sam's hand and reaching for your stomach.

“Careful…” Sam said looking at you in concern. “You could’ve ripped your stitches.” His eyes filled with concerned as he went to check to see if you had ripped open your stitches from moving.

Sam’s touch was gentle and feather light. “Maybe you should rest.” Sam says after he verifies the stitches are fine.

“Jareth” You say as Sam tucks you in.

Sam looks at you confused.

“My password. It's Jareth. It's from a movie I saw with my family as a kid. Just don't open anything encrypted, or they will find us.”

Sam chuckles and pats your shoulder. “Rest. I don't know when Dean will be back.”

Dean returns a bit later with a bottle of whiskey in his hand.

“I’m sorry.” You sigh.“Dean if you still want to put a bullet in me, fine. The heart or the brain should work.”

Sam gives you a shocked look. “Dean. No.” He says.

“What else are we supposed to do with her Sam?! She is a trained spy. What is gonna stop her from reporting on us?” Dean grumps.

“Dean.” Sam says seriously. “She hasn't reported on us since the first encounter almost four months ago. I checked her computer.”

Dean turns to look at Sam, the stomps over to the computer on the table in front of Sam. “That doesn't mean she won't report on us as soon as she gets free of us.” Dean argues.

“She won’t Dean. I think she’s done. She hasn’t reported us by now… why would she do it now?” Sam said trying to get him to see reason. “She doesn’t want to do this anymore. She doesn’t want to go back there.”

“Damn it Sammy!” Dean almost shouts, waving the bottle of whiskey around.

The two men begin to argue quietly, while Dean still waves the bottle around occasionally emphasizing his words.

You carefully creep out of bed and smoothly take the bottle out of Dean's grasp while he is still arguing with Sam.

“What the!?” Dean says spinning to look where his bottle went.

“You were sloshing it all over the floor. It's sad to waste decent whiskey.” You say taking taking a drink.

“Y/N! You shouldn't be out of bed.” Sam says. “You should still be resting… you almost popped your stitches earlier…” Sam said trying to get you to the bed completely ignoring Dean.

“This. Isn't over. “ Dean bluffs, grabbing the whiskey out of your hand. He takes a large swallow knowing he has already lost this fight.

Countless Roads - Chapter 20

Fic: Countless Roads - Chapter 20 - Ao3

Fandom: Flash, Legends Pairing: Gen, Mick Rory/Leonard Snart, others

Summary: Due to a family curse (which some call a gift), Leonard Snart has more life than he knows what to do with – and that gives him the ability to see, speak to, and even share with the various ghosts that are always surrounding him.

Sure, said curse also means he’s going to die sooner rather than later, just like his mother, but in the meantime Len has no intention of letting superheroes, time travelers, a surprisingly charming pyromaniac, and a lot of ghosts get in the way of him having a nice, successful career as a professional thief.

———————————————————————————

“You know, you guys can leave me alone, right?” Len says. He’s said it before, mildly. He’s moved on to pointedly. He's seriously considering an escalation to 'backed up with physical violence'. “I’m fine.”

“Of course you’re fine,” Cisco says, snuggling into Lisa on the couch. “I’m here to support Lisa.”

“I have trauma,” Lisa puts in, smirking.

For all her lighthearted one, Len doesn’t actually doubt that she's being semi-serious about that, given that she hasn’t let him out of her sight since the events with their dad. He tried to apologize to her about killing Lewis – he was their dad, despite it all, and it was an awful way to die – and she punched him in the face, then apologized. She didn’t pull her punch at all, either; sometimes he still feels the echo of the bruise on his cheek even though it’s been a few weeks.

Of course, she’s nothing compared to Mick, who’s barely willing to go to the kitchen long enough to get them all snacks. It’s like they think Len will be kidnapped the second he takes a step outside if he's not being supervised.

Len’s not some sort of fragile porcelain doll that needs to be wrapped in bubblewrap, damnit.

Okay, yes, he’s been a bit twitchy ever since Barry reported that Cabrera’s body hadn’t been found in the remains of the burned building, though Barry did say hopefully that several bodies were burned beyond recognition and that surely Cabrera is one of them. And, yes, maybe Len's been sublimating some of his feelings about his dad's death and everything that happened into being a bit more cautious than usual about it, feeling like he should be looking over his shoulder constantly, but it is what it is. It's certainly not a problem or anything.

Seriously.

They're being ridiculous.

“What are we watching?” Len asks, finally resigning himself to the inevitable and giving in to the absurdity that is the recently declared Team Flash (and Junior Rogues) movie night.

“Minority Report,” Caitlin says, with just a hint of snark in her tone. “It should be paranoid enough for Barry.”

“I’m not paranoid,” Barry grumbles. “Len's paranoid. I'm just cautious, that's all. Weird stuff just keeps happening.”

“You are a superhero,” Lisa points out.

“Yeah, but does that mean I have to fight, like, telepathic gorillas? Or so-called immortal assholes with knives?”

Len rolls his eyes. He’d been very glad to sit that latter one out – Barry’d had a good point in that Team Arrow, or whatever they were calling themselves over in Star City, needed to have a chance to meet Jax and Webber without any preconceived notions like, say, well-known criminals hanging around.

Yes, Len is perfectly aware that Barry's explanation was a lie designed to make him okay with being benched at least until the stitches he’d gotten in the back of his head were taken out, but he doesn’t care. They’re out now - Caitlin removed them earlier in the week - and he’s fine, and, he hates to keep stressing this, he’s not actually part of the superhero squad. He and his Rogues, Junior or otherwise, are villains. Thieves. Bad guys.

Admittedly, their most heinous act recently was tasting that vaguely horrific and possibly sentient jello salad Jax brought over, but still...

“I’m not talking about the weird things you fight, Barry,” Caitlin says tartly. “I'm talking about your unjustified paranoia. Don’t think I don’t know that you still have your ghosts following Jay around! Even though he’s helped us half a dozen times – you don’t even have them following Harry around anymore, and he actually did steal your speed –”

“Well,” Barry says. “Actually…”

“Barry!” Iris snaps, only half-amused. She’s sitting over on the couch near Wally, as she has been these last few weeks – ever since the big Joe-and-Francine blow-up following the Family Secret Revelation Sequence, something else Len is very, very happy he missed. The whole thing set both kids against both parents, but at least Francine, with the assistance of timely marrow donations by Iris, is slowly on the mend and on a strict sobriety plan with Jenna’s able assistance.

Iris has also not really been talking to Barry since then, since he had the bad taste to side, however half-heartedly, with Joe on the subject of whether or not it was okay for him to conceal Francine’s existence. It hadn’t been pretty.

They’ve only just managed to convince both of them to be in the same movie night, and even then Iris only agreed to come because Wally was coming and Eddie was busy.

“What?!” Barry says defensively. “Snart gave me two ghosts, I had two people…”

“It’s not paranoia if they’re actually after you,” Len opines.

That just garners him dirty looks from around the room.

"Who are these people again?" he murmurs to Lisa and Cisco.

"Harry's the Harrison Wells double from Earth-2," Cisco murmurs back. "He came to help fight Zoom because his daughter Jesse was kidnapped. Jay is Earth-2's version of the Flash. He's been helping out with Flash things and science and stuff."

"You don't care," Lisa translates.

"I really don't," Len decides.

“But seriously, Barry,” Caitlin says, rolling her eyes at all of them since they'd only made the barest pretense at being subtle. “You should stop picking on Jay all the time. He’s sick, not evil. We should be helping him, not stalking him.”

“Wait, Jay’s sick?” Wally asks from where he and Jax are lolling around on the floor next to Iris. “He didn’t say anything about being sick.”

Caitlin flushes.

Lisa and Len share a look, scenting blood. Len inclines his head, yielding to Lisa.

“Caitlin,” Lisa purrs, leaning forward. “Did you do something bad?”

“No!”

“You did!”

“It was for his own good!” Caitlin exclaims, which means she totally did something unethical and feels bad about it. “I could see that his symptoms were getting worse...anyway, I figured it out. Ever since Zoom stole Jay's speed, he's been dying, little by little. It’s killing him! He said he didn't need my help, but I know that two minds are better than one. So I took a tiny little sample of his blood…”

“He definitely didn’t okay that,” Cisco says, starting to grin. “Caitlin, you sneaky fox. Should we be moving you to the Junior Rogues? What does Ronnie have to say about your interest, huh?”

“I just wanted to see if we could get him a transfusion from this world’s version of him,” Caitlin replies, blushing. “And Ronnie is fine with it, thanks! Ronnie wants to help him, too.”

“Ooh-la-la,” Lisa says dryly. “We may end up with another three-way in the making.”

“What do you mean, another?” Barry asks, because he is actually that oblivious sometimes. Iris scowls the scowl of the ‘we haven’t asked him yet and also I’m angry at him right now so stop pushing Lisa’ – Len’s intimately acquainted with various variations on that scowl.

“What’d you find?” Cisco asks hastily, derailing that conversation because Iris has made it clear that the first person to slip up and let Barry know about her and Eddie's extremely unsubtle interest in him will face her wrath, and no one, not even Len, is interested in that.

“Well, he says the transfusion idea won’t work,” Caitlin says with a sigh. “I couldn’t even find his duplicate at first, but Jay explained that it was just that his name had been changed, and that he’d already explored that option…”

Len frowns. “Wait, this Jay guy's name changed? To what?” he asks.

“Not Jay's name, the name of his duplicate on this Earth - he changed it to Hunter Zolomon. Why?”

“Are you telling me that everyone on Earth-2 has the same name as us except for this one guy?” Len says skeptically.

“Weird,” Jax says.

"Very weird," Barry says.

“Improbably weird,” Wally says. "He's definitely up to something."

“He just got his name changed, guys,” Caitlin says defensively. “It’s not a crime.”

“He changed his first name, too, which ain't really that common,” Len drawls. “That might not be a crime, but it’s suspicious. And given what happened with the last speedster mentor you had, that's enough for me. Barry, could you text that hacker friend of yours, see if she can ID this guy and find out when he changed his name?”

“Why?” Cisco asks. “What does it matter?”

“Because if he changed his name, or someone changed it for him, then that’s one thing,” Len says. “There’ll be records of it. But if there ain’t any records…” He trails off pointedly, raising his eyebrows. Mick, Lisa, and Wally - the ones more familiar with criminal habits - are all nodding; everyone else just looks confused.

“What does that mean?” Jax asks.

“No records means either he did it illegal - or, more likely, means your Earth-2 Jay Garrick’s the one faking his name, not his double here,” Mick explains. “And if he is, I’d like to know why.”

“I knew he was suspicious!” Barry exclaims triumphantly.

“You haven’t even checked yet!” Caitlin exclaims in reply.

“I’m texting Felicity now!”

The response arrives five minutes later.

“No name changes,” Barry says, looking up. “Sorry, Caitlin. Our Earth's Hunter Zolomon has always been named Hunter Zolomon. I told you something was up.”

“Okay, so he gave us a false name,” Caitlin says, still defensive, though even she sounds a little doubtful now. “I mean, it’s not evidence he’s up to something. Or that he’s bad or something. He's their Flash! I'm sure he has a reason.”

“Maybe he’s wanted on Earth-2,” Wally suggests.

“No, Harry recognized him,” Cisco says. “They hate each other.”

“All that means is that he changed his name while on Earth-2 and before he became that Earth's Flash,” Mick says. “Probably got a warrant out for him there.”

“Easy enough to check though, right?” Wally says. “Cisco, why don’t you ask Harry?” The last word is pointedly sing-song.

“Don’t look at me like that!” Cisco yelps, even as everyone - especially Lisa - smirks at him. “I don’t like him!”

“You totally like him,” Jax says.

“He’s helping us! We’re helping him! I hate his guts!”

“Uh-huh. Sure. Just ask him, will you?”

Cisco grumbles, but he pulls out his phone. “Siri, call Harry and put on speaker.”

The phone rings, then picks up. “Yes, Francisco, I turned the machine off already,” Harry snaps. “There's no need to check up on me, I’m not an infant -”

“No, no,” Cisco says soothingly. “We just had a quick question for you – do you happen to know anyone on Earth-2 called Hunter Zolomon?”

The phone is silent.

“Uh, Harry? Did we drop you –”

“No,” Harry says. “Where did you hear that name? I need to know right away.”

“Why?” Barry asks.

“Well,” Harry says, “because on my earth, Hunter Zolomon is a convicted serial killer.”

“He’s a what?!” the room choruses.

“Harry, would you be able to recognize him, if you saw him?” Caitlin asks, looking distressed. “You would, right?”

“Of course I could. The last photo of him – all shaggy hair, beard, everything – it’s, well. It’s unmistakable. I’ll be able to identify him immediately. Anyone would be. We don’t actually have that many serial killers, it’s something of an anomaly – he saw his mother killed by his father when he was a kid, and it apparently triggered something, and then when he grew up, he killed 23 people and was sentenced to a mental asylum, it was a pretty big deal - all over the news –”

“So he’d change his name if he wanted to go into hiding, huh?” Mick says.

“Except serial killers don’t really like hiding,” Len says, concerned. He remembers the last time he had to find a serial killer - if it hadn't been for Lisa...

“…wait, who is that speaking? Cisco?”

“Not important,” Barry says. “We have a different problem. See you soon, Harry.”

Len reaches forward to click off the phone.

“As I said,” he drawls, surveying all the wide-eyed faces around him. Caitlin in particular looks sick to her stomach. “It ain’t paranoia if they're actually out to get you.”

“Score a point for good communication,” Mick adds dryly.

“Uh,” Barry says, then shakes his head. “I must admit, that was – not what I was suspecting. I don't even know what I was suspecting, but it wasn't serial killer.”

“Me either,” Caitlin says, looking stunned. “He said – he was a scientist – he stayed at our house –”

Iris puts a hand on her shoulder. “Sorry, Caitlin. But…speedster serial killer? That doesn't sound familiar to just me, does it?"

"Wait, you think - do you think he's Zoom?” Cisco demands.

"Why not?"

“He can’t be,” Barry says. “We’ve been watching him – he and Zoom have appeared at the same place at the same time before.”

“That’s no guarantee,” Cisco says, not without some bitterness, rubbing his chest.

“Besides, even if he’s not, he might still sell us out to Zoom,” Wally points out.

“He might be Zoom,” Iris says. “I’m telling you guys. If he's figured out some way to duplicate himself, then it'd be a great way to throw off the scent. Maybe it's a side-effect of that Velocity stuff Caitlin is working on for him?”

“I’m destroying it,” Caitlin says immediately.

“Not the immediate issue,” Len says. He lolls his head back on the couch. “Hey, Rakesh, Sirina.”

“Yeah, boss?” Rakesh says, popping up through the wall behind him, Sirina close behind. They're some of the newest members of Mick's ghost squad - new, but competent enough to get through Mick's preliminary tests.

“Go make sure Jay Garrick a.k.a Hunter Zolomon doesn’t escape.”

“Yes, boss!”

“I should probably…” Barry starts.

“Wait half a second before you go off half-cocked, Barry,” Lisa says. “He’s been in on the planning for our visit to Earth-2, hasn’t he?”

“Yeah, he’s the one who told us about Zoom’s army,” Iris says.

“Army?” Mick asks.

“Oh, yeah, that’s the latest,” Cisco says. “Zoom is gathering an army of metas from Earth-2 to defend their home and also come get us here. And we have…Barry. And Firestorm.”

“And us,” Jax points out.

“Yeah,” Cisco says. “Exactly. That’s it.”

“At least we have an advantage over Jay,” Lisa says. “He’s a serial killer.”

“That’s an advantage?” Wally asks.

“Yeah,” Iris says. “I’m not seeing that one.”

“Don’t you guys watch Criminal Minds?”

The room’s reactions is mixed.

“I’m just saying,” Lisa says, rolling her eyes. “This Zoom guy’s been all about the ‘you and me, we’re the same’ sort of bullshit with Barry, right? With him being better, of course.”

“Jay working with him – or being him – would explain how he knows so much,” Barry says bitterly.

“Still not seeing how that helps,” Jax says.

“He saw his mom die right in front of him, yeah?” Len asks abruptly.

“So?”

“Nora didn’t die in front of Barry,” Len says. “Now, if I were a crazy psychopath –”

“Wow, now there’s a stretch,” Cisco says, rolling his eyes and smiling.

“Fuck off,” Mick says, but fondly.

“Anyway," Len says, rolling his eyes at both of them. "I’m just saying – if I was into the whole 'we're the same, you and me' playbook and, say, there was a chance to recreate my trauma –”

“You want him to – what?”

“Well, have this Jay told him about the ghosts?”

“Not exactly,” Barry hedges. “I’m sure he’s figured it out, though.”

“Damn.”

“I think I see your point,” Nora says. She's hovering at Barry's shoulder as always. “I could be very good bait.”

“Won’t work if he thinks you’re already dead. Though - that means he might go after Doc instead.”

Both Nora and Barry look alarmed. “We’re sending Dad out of the city, then,” Barry says. “Mom – that old cabin, you think he’d go?”

“He’s been wanting some fresh air and time to stretch his legs,” she agrees. “I’ll suggest it.”

She disappears.

“I can’t believe I’m used to that now,” Jax muses.

“Wait, if Jay's evil, is our Plan 'Take the Fight to Zoom' still viable?” Barry asks. “Jay knew about our plans to go to Earth-2 and confront Zoom there.”

“Thus the army,” Jax agrees.

“He might try to use the opportunity of us not being here to grab hostages, though,” Cisco says. “Like the way he took Harry’s daughter.”

“Eddie can’t go,” Iris says immediately. “And I’m not going without him.”

“But Iris –” Barry starts unwisely.

“Don’t you dare tell me what I can and can’t do, Barry Allen!”

“I don’t think it’ll be a problem,” Len says loudly before they descend into bickering. “Not like Jay saw much of Iris or Eddie, given that you and Barry were having your spat for the last few months.”

"The Barry and Iris blow-up of doom had a purpose, then?" Cisco asks. "Yeesh. Well, good, I guess?"

Both of them glare at him.

He tries to hide behind Lisa.

“Besides,” Caitlin says, jumping into the fray to rescue him. “Iris was busy with wedding planning.”

Iris groans theatrically. “Don’t remind me,” she says. “Eddie’s family is intolerable. How did I not know this?”

“Because they don’t live in Central,” Wally says. “And you didn’t have to deal with them before. Also, no offense, but wasn't evil Wells related to that family?”

"Everything is explained," Iris mutters.

“You could always just do it informally like I did,” Caitlin says.

“Everyone in both of our families would kill me,” Iris says. "Literally, I suspect."

"Besides, Caitlin, you just wanted it over quick enough that your mom wouldn't find out," Cisco teases.

"Absolutely," Caitlin says. "No shame."

Lisa snorts. "That bad, huh?"

"You know me," Caitlin says. "And my precision of language."

"Yeah?"

"My mom's a bitch with a heart colder than Len's gun."

"Girl!" Cisco says, sounding impressed. Mick wolf-whistles. Len smirks.

Lisa offers a fist-bump, which she returns with a faint smile.

Len shakes his head in amusement.

“Getting back to the whole serial killer thing, which I understand is less of a priority than Iris' wedding planning but which I'd like to spend a little time on anyway,” Jax says. “What do we do now?”

“We should get Harry,” Cisco says. “He can help with the planning.”

“I’ll get him,” Barry says. “Len, your ghosts are on the job of stopping Jay, right?”

“Yeah,” Len says. “Though they’re taking their time on it. If they’re not back in five, I’ll let you know.”

Nods around the room.

Barry speeds away.

“So, this Harry guy,” Mick says. “Anything I need to know before letting him hang around here?”

“Uh,” Cisco says. “It’s…a long story?”

“Start now,” Lisa says. “We’re listening.”

“He’s a know-it-all asshole,” Jax says.

“He’s going to be super rude,” Wally adds.

“He tried to steal Barry’s speed once,” Iris says.

“He might’ve killed a prisoner,” Caitlin says.

Len blinks. “So…he’s a villain on his Earth?”

“No! I mean…I…uh…no? I don’t think so?”

“You’ll understand when you meet him,” Cisco says.

“Somehow I doubt that,” Mick grunts. He comes over to stand by Len, an obvious warning.

"Mick," Len snaps. "Nothing's gonna happen to me."

"You had another unquiet dead attack last week," Mick replies.

"And nothing happened! I barely felt it before you guys fought it off –"

"That time," Mick says, his tone ominous.

Len glares up at him. “I’m not made of glass,” he hisses.

“And I want to keep it that way,” Mick says firmly.

Barry and Harry flash in a moment later, before Len can respond appropriately – probably with profanity. Harry looks disoriented as Barry releases him. "Sorry for the secrecy, Harry," Barry says. "It's – well, it's a long story."

"No problem," Harry says. "Who did you bring me to – Mayor Snart!"

"Wait," Len says. "Mayor?"

The next few minutes are a mess before they get Harry to calm down enough to confirm that yes, Lisa Snart is the mayor of Central City in his universe, at least in part because of a meta ability that permits her to become temporarily incorporeal and thereby immune to Zoom and his lackeys.

"Temporarily incorporeal," Len says, exchanging meaningful looks with Mick. Neither of them are particularly pleased with the idea of Lisa being a ghost.

"It's possible it's a real meta ability," Caitlin reminds them.

"I still can't believe I'm dating the alternate version of your mayor," Cisco marvels.

"Hah!" Mick exclaims, pointing at him. "Finally admitted you two're dating!"

"...crap."

"They're not going to do anything about it, they're just drama queens," Lisa assures him.

Mick mimes slicing a throat over her head.

Cisco gulps.

"Mick, stop whatever you're doing," Lisa instructs without turning around.

"The plan is to go to Earth-2 and find out everything possible about Zoom's meta army invasion, right?" Len asks Barry, because he's not an idiot. He'll wait till Cisco's alone to threaten him. "I don't see any reason to change that just because they have advance warning that that's the plan."

Barry nods. "If we can stop on Earth-2, all the better," he says firmly.

"You do remember that my sources on that earth tell me he's gathered an army," Harry says.

"Well, yes, but we're going to be sneaky about it," Barry says. "I was thinking we could swap out our doppelgangers – "

"Only if they're located somewhere that would be useful," Len says.

"…oh. Right."

"It'll be all right, Harry," Cisco says confidently. "We know what we're doing."

Harry looks skeptical.

The mental timer in Len’s head hits zero.

Len frowns. Either Rakesh or Sirina should be back by now to report on their success – or failure.

“Barry, something’s wrong with the ghosts,” Len says. “Go check up on ‘em, make sure Jay didn’t get away. Then we need to change our plans for taking the fight to Earth-2 to account for Jay knowing what he knows.”

“I’m on it,” Barry says, and disappears in a crackle of lightning.

“Ghosts? No, not important. What about Jay? Have you finally realized that the coward’s not good for anything?” Harry asks. “And what about Hunter Zolomon? Is he here?”

“Jay Garrick is Hunter Zolomon,” Caitlin says.

“What?”

“We should go back to STAR Labs,” Cisco says. “If Jay is Zoom, we have additional problems; Barry might need support.”

“Jay is Zoom?” Harry exclaims. “But – he – the Flash – but -”

“Probably for the best,” Len tells the rest of Team Flash, who all look like they’re dying to find out what’s going on. “No way movie night is going on right now.”

They go, even Lisa after Len tells her it’s okay.

Len waits until they’re all gone, then his eyes slide over to Mick. “So,” he says.

“So,” Mick replies.

“They’re all gone.”

“They are.”

“And we’re all alone.”

“We are.”

“Wouldn’t be much of a movie night without them.”

“Nope.”

"Guess we need to make other plans."

"Sure seems that way."

“So…”

Mick smiles. “I got some ideas,” he purrs.

That jewelry store was just asking to be robbed, honestly.

“Barry texted me that I’m a jerk for taking advantage of his distraction,” Len tells Mick proudly.

“Tell him we’re rekindling our relationship,” Mick replies, pulling diamonds out of the duffel bag they’d stuffed them in.

“Heh. Rekindling.”

Mick rolls his eyes.

That’s when Rakesh and Sirina show back up. Both of them. Looking somewhat shame-faced.

“Hey,” Len says, frowning at them. “You two okay?”

“We couldn’t get him,” Rakesh says. “He wasn’t solid.”

“He wasn’t solid?”

“Our hands went straight through him,” Sirina explains. “I think it’s because he’s from a different universe.”

“Well, that’s a problem,” Mick says, scowling.

“Barry will handle it,” Len says, and texts him for an update.

A few minutes later –

“Barry did not handle it,” Len says, frowning at his screen. “Apparently Zoom showed up and iced this Jay guy.”

“How’d he know we were onto him?” Mick asks.

“Not sure. Barry says they’re going to keep up with Plan A and head to Earth-2.”

Mick nods. “Still going in groups?”

“Yeah, Barry says they agree that Eddie and Iris are safe to stay, as discussed –”

“Still say it was a dick move on Barry’s part,” Mick says. “Nagging Iris to forgive her dad for, you know, lying about her mom not being dead for twenty years. Or her mom for ditching in the first place.”

“Don’t disagree, but it’s not our problem,” Len says. “Barry’s asking if we can either stay and watch the city without stealing stuff, or if we want to go with them.”

Mick blinks. “He’s asking if we want to volunteer for stupid-ass heroism and self-restraint or go to another dimension?” he asks. “Really?”

“Yeah, I know,” Len says. “Like that’s a choice.”

He texts ‘hell yes we’re coming to E2’ back to Barry.

A few hours later, everyone’s ready to go. “We’re going to each go through the breach and head out our own ways,” Barry says. He’s very bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, even more than usual; he and Iris are standing next to each other, which means they’ve made up in the face of possible danger.

Good for them.

“Cisco, Harry and I are going to go to STAR Labs to do what we can with the monitors,” Barry continues. “And to grab whatever tech Harry says might be useful. We’ll have phones, so if you need me, I’ll be there.”

“In a flash,” Len adds.

“You don’t have to say it every time,” Lisa groans.

“If he doesn’t, I will,” Iris puts in. “I named him that, Snart; next time I get dibs on the puns.”

“Anyway,” Barry says, notably not disagreeing. He loves that pun. “Jax, Firestorm, and Lisa are going to go hit the CCPD and the mayor’s office – hopefully get what info they might have. Not too much stealing, okay guys?”

“Don’t worry, Stein and I won’t let them,” Firestorm - the joint mix of Caitlin's Raymond and a crabby professor called Martin Stein - says. His head is on fire again. Mick is smiling at him again.

Len's not too fond of Firestorm.

“It’s cute that you think that’ll work,” Jax says, high-fiving Lisa.

“Guys,” Barry says.

“I’m going with Caitlin,” Wally says, since Barry seems to have been derailed. “We’ll drive around, scout the area, try to mingle a bit. Low profile, if we can.”

“Fair enough,” Len says. “And Mick and I?”

“We’d like you to come in a few hours after we’re gone,” Barry says. “With your guns, to serve as back-up for whoever’s in trouble.” He winces. “Because we assume someone will be in trouble.”

“Probably,” Mick says with a smirk.

And so they go, piling into the breach, Iris and Eddie maneuvering the machinery at Cisco’s instruction.

A few hours later, Iris and Eddie do the same for Len and Mick. They walk through a portal into a brand new world, exchanging giant grins as they go.

And then they step through, and Len freezes.

You’re Worth The Danger.

Request from anon: Can I request a Bucky x reader? She's a civilian but they've been dating for months. Some hydra agents have been watching her and try to kidnap her when she was home alone. She manages to run away and hide inside a store calling Bucky to get her. After he picks her up he has her move in with him at the tower where she'll be safe. Tony has a soft spot for her so he gives her an all access key and welcomes her to the family.

Note: All Russian was done through Google translate so I apologise to anyone who understands it and it doesn’t actually mean what it should do!

Bucky x Reader

Words: 2,437

Warnings: Violence, intimidating behaviour, threat to life and a swear word.

Disclaimer: None of the GIFs used are mine so all credit goes to their creators <3

Sometimes you wished you could stay frozen in this moment of time forever…your boyfriend’s arms wrapped protectively around you as he slept peacefully next to you and your eyes gazing upon his perfect face. Every morning for the past few months now you had been greeted with this sight and it never grew old. Not only was he ridiculously handsome but he was part of the Avengers too! Yes you, an ordinary civilian, was dating an individual that helped to save the world on pretty much a daily basis……it was like your life had suddenly turned into a script from a movie and even now as you felt his presence and you looked upon him you still couldn’t wrap your head around it all.

“Are you watching me sleep again [y/n]?”

A tired smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he slowly, and a little reluctantly, opened both of his eyes. He knew you did it every morning but until now he had never mentioned it. It amused him that rather than getting up and starting your day you would just lay there and watch him instead. He couldn’t see any fascination with him sleeping but if it kept you happy then he would live with it.

“I’m sorry I just….you’re incredible Bucky.” He pulled you in even closer to him, your body now flush up against his, as a chuckle escaped from his lips. His leg wound itself around yours underneath the duvet of the bed, you knew exactly what he was trying to do. “….but not incredible enough to ditch work so don’t even try it.”

“But I would much rather stay here with you then train with Steve and Sam…..especially Sam.”

Sam and Bucky had always had a rather volatile relationship and you knew it wouldn’t change anytime soon, at least from everything you heard from Bucky it certainly didn’t sound like it would anyway, but it still wasn’t an excuse for him to stay in bed all day – however much you would also like for such a thing. His job was important, lives depended on it, you didn’t want to be the reason behind someone possibly losing their life.

“You will be fine. Now come on….let me go so that I can make you some coffee.”

He pulled out his bottom lip in a rather over-the-top pout before sliding both of his arms from around you and removing his leg that had you pulled into him.

“You are so cruel to me.”

“…and you are a complete drama queen.” Your lips connected with his forehead to place a gentle kiss on it before you climbed out of the bed and headed towards the kitchen. “Now you should probably wake up before Steve ends up coming around. You know his wake up calls are FAR worse than mine.”

All you heard as you left the room was a frustrated and tired groan sound out and you simply shook your head as you let out a laugh. He may have been a super soldier and one that worked with a team of heroes for that matter but he was just as bad at getting up on a morning as every other person in the world.

* * * * * * * * * *

It had taken him a good hour to leave your apartment in the city but finally you found yourself alone and ready to start your own day. You had an assignment due that day so a trip to the local coffee shop and then to the library were the top priorities for you. It didn’t offer half as much excitement as what Bucky’s day would probably entail but given that you were squeamish at even the smallest amount of blood there was a part of you that was more than a little grateful for that.

Knock Knock!

You had only just managed to pack your bag ready to go when you were interrupted by someone at the door. Immediately you rolled your eyes as you spoke out in a playful tone.

“Seriously? This must be record time even for you Buck-“ You opened the door mid-sentence but your words soon trailed away from you completely when your eyes fell upon two strange males. Your suspicions weren’t there right away, assuming they must have been two of those agents that worked inside Stark Tower, so you stayed at the door. “Is everything okay with James? He’s only been gone an hour….even he couldn’t have gotten himself into trouble already.”

A laugh rolled from your lips but there was a nervous undertone to it as you realised that the two men were beginning to creep forward.

“Are you confirming that you know one James Buchanan Barnes?”

The tallest of the two men spoke out and his thick accent was unmistakable. You had spent an entire year living in Russia before you had started college and it was something you had heard on a daily basis and along with the recognition of where he clearly originated from you were also quickly realising that these people were nothing to do with shield at all.

Your heart was beginning to race as a pair of green eyes bore into yours, awaiting you answering his question, but you weren’t about to tell them anything about Bucky. Not until you knew who they were.

“Co-Could I see some ID please?”

You didn’t radiate any level of confidence as you spoke because although you didn’t know for definite who they were that little niggle right at the back of your mind told you that they were a threat to your life….and to Bucky’s too. The male’s thin lips curled up into a smirk as he leaned closer towards the other who was still yet to speak, his eyes remaining on you, and spoke in a hushed whisper to him in their home language.

“Юная леди хотела бы увидеть удостоверение личности, сэр.” (‘The young lady would like to see some identification sir.’)

You would think that he had just shared the world’s funniest joke or something the way they both burst out laughing, which only increased your confusion, the question you’d asked had been a rather simple enough one to answer.

“Ну тогда нам лучше не отказывать. Мы не хотели бы быть грубой.” (‘Well then we better not refuse. We wouldn’t want to be rude.’)

None of the words made any sense to you so when their smirks continued to show panic really did begin to set in. Already your mind was beginning to hear Bucky’s voice play out as you remembered some of the defensive moves he had taught you. At the time you joked about him being a worry wart, that you didn’t need to know this kind of stuff, but after a rather annoyed scowl was thrown in your direction you quickly conceded.

Given how the situation was making you really uncomfortable you may find yourself having to admit that he was right….something of which he was going to love!

“Ограничьте ее.” (‘Restrain her.’)

Their laughter had stopped and all trace of amusement disappeared from them in that moment and in the blink of an eye the man that had been the first to speak lunged at you and immediately wrapped both of his hands around your wrists. It wasn’t a hold that was easy to get out of because with each pull away from him his grip constricted you even more until any move on your part resulted in your skin feeling like it was burning.

“If you ever find yourself in a wrist hold pulling out of it will be pointless. You need to line up your thumb with where their finger and thumb meet…”

Almost as though this was just another lesson with your boyfriend you took your time in following the instructions he had given you so that you didn’t make any mistakes in your attempts to free yourself.

“…when you have done that you need to bend your elbows and pull downwards…”

Your action was the last thing that the male had been expecting and had been both quick and precise. His hands fell from your wrists but before he had the chance to go for you again your foot connected harshly with his knee. A pained groan echoed out around your apartment as he fell to the floor.

There was no way you were going to make it out of the door – not when you would have to step over the incapacitated male and then face the other who was still stood on his feet.

There was only one thing to do. Go down the fire escape at the side of the building.

Wasting no more time you spun around on the balls of your feet, your hand grabbing your bag on the way, and raced towards the window in your bedroom. You didn’t even look behind you to see if the other male was chasing you, too much time would have been wasted in doing so and you just knew the likelihood was pretty high, all you could think of was getting out of here and calling Bucky.

As you approached it you thanked the stars that he often got too hot in bed because the window was open enough for you to crawl through without having to worry about yanking the damn thing open more. Things may have turned out a whole lot differently had it been locked.

“После нее! Не дай ей уйти!.” (After her! Do not let her get away!)

With a loud clatter your feet hit the metal of the fire escape stairs, no doubt disturbing whoever it was that lived below you, and you took off down them the fastest you had ever run in your life. You fumbled about your bag blindly as you descended down them, taking out your phone, before dialling the only number you needed to.

The call was answered the second your foot hit the concrete of the path underneath the fire escape.

“Hey doll. Missing me already are we?”

Normally when he was a little on the cocky side it would make you smile and earn him a playful slap too but right now wasn’t the time for it.

“Bucky th….there’s someone after me!”

It wasn’t easy talking on the phone whilst also running for your life so your words took a little longer to come out than you would have liked thanks to your breathlessness.

“What do you mean?”

“Two men…they came to my door….they we-they were speaking Russian!” With two quick glances you shot across the busy New York road, having to swerve a couple of yellow cabs that hadn’t seen you, and headed towards the coffee shop you frequently visited. “They said your name!”

“Shit!” The panic was now evident in his voice as you heard him calling out to whoever it was he was with. “[y/n] get yourself out of sight! I will come for you okay?”

“I’m heading for the coffee shop around the corner. The one where we met.”

There were no more words exchanged as you ended the call and burst through the doors of the small business.

* * * * * * * * * *

“[y/n]? [y/n] it’s me!”

His voice broke through any other noise around you and it made you feel safe enough to stand up from behind the counter where you had been hiding. The owner had given you a few choice words when you had gone barrelling into his shop but now that not only the Winter Soldier had turned up but Captain America himself too he has suddenly become the nicest person possible.

Immediately he made his way over to the masked Avenger, probably expecting some kind of praise for having helped you, while Bucky launched himself over the counter so that he could get to you. The worry he had felt for you was more than evident by the redness of his eyes where tears had threatened to fall and your heart sank. He had enough to worry about without having to add your safety on top of all that too.

“Did they hurt you?”

His eyes searched every inch of your face, a rough hand caressing each part of your skin, but you quickly took the hand in yours and forced him to look at you by cupping your other hand around his chin.

“I am fine. I was….I was a little scared but you’re here now and that’s all that matters.”

You offered him the biggest smile you could manage, albeit not a very strong one, before placing the smallest of kisses onto his lips. Making him panic had been the last thing you wanted to do but in the heat of the moment he had been the only person on your mind, the only one you wanted to see, and you knew that he would always be there no matter how dangerous the situation.

“Stark knows what happened. He is currently working with both FRIDAY and Vision to track the men that attacked you but until that has been done you need to be somewhere safe.”

“I don’t have anywhere else to go. My family don’t even live in the country anymore.”

“It’s a good job he has offered to take you in then isn’t it?” In a complete contrast to the worry and panic that had been all over his face Bucky’s lips tugged up into a smile. His arms pulled you into his body as though he was desperate to feel you, make sure that you really were safe. “He’s already had a key made for you and, well, let’s just say that you must have made one hell of an impression on him because he’s welcoming you to the family with open arms.”

Living with the man you loved was one thing but…..the Avengers? The superheroes that saved the world on a daily basis in the same building as you? You couldn’t believe your luck!

“I better make sure I thank him then….after I have thanked you first of course.”

Your eyes darkened at your comment before you let slip a laugh when you saw the surprised look on his face. You may well have come close to having something terrible happen to you that day but you weren’t going to let it affect your outlook – not when you had such an amazing man to look after you.

“I look forward to it doll and I promise you……I will never let you end up in such danger again.”

“Bucky….you are worth all the danger.”

Okay so little real time horror story for y'all

Alright kids, let's get this over with. I don't jump scare. I was desensitized at a very young age from jump scares and gore by actual real life horror and carnage and trauma blah blah blah. That's not this story. I live in this house you see, or rather my family lives in this house since I've moved away, but it's the house I was raised in and in which I still stay when I am with my family. Now this house is a normal fucking house on the outside. It's white, it's got a nice new green tin roof. All the windows are intact, and it stands an even two stories with no basement (thank god). It's even surrounded by three acres of flat farm land and 289 acres of gently wooded, rolling hills (also about seven grave yards but once again that's not this story). Paints a nice picture right? Don't most houses in horror movies sound about like this? Right? Normal? Bingo. This place is the most haunted pit of hell I think anyone could ever come across. It's stood for over 119 years, with more people than I can count on my fingers and toes, dying under it's redone roof (most of their pictures hang in the upstairs bedroom cause my grandmother is a sentimental freak. And they're the old antique photographs too which adds to the horror). Now I can say this house is haunted all I want, but I have stories to back it up. Stories of learning to tie my shoe laces because I saw the ghost of my dead grandfather and he showed me how (I was four). Stories of my friends literally running in fear onto my front lawn in the middle of the night, because they were sleeping upstairs with "the mirror" (another old antique I wish my irrational family would get rid of). Stories of voices, and floating arms in photos and things levitating and moving and even disappearing. Stories of walking through the projection of my great aunt Vivian on my way to the bathroom at four am, because it was dark and I thought she was my mom, so of course I approached her. I could tell you all these stories and have an actual book of my personal accounts as well as some eyewitness testimonies from past house guests. It'd be a lovely 600 page manual by the time I've finished recounting the tales. But the story I want to tell you happened tonight. I'm home visiting my mother and grandmother for the week. I've already been here three days, and I'm leaving tomorrow. As far as visits home go this one has been relatively uneventful. I'm with gran during the day, and then mom comes home from work, we all watch some tv then around 9 or 10 mom and gran retire to bed and leave me to read or write and do my insomnia routine. Tonight was a bit different though because around midnight I actually decided to put my ass in bed and attempt sleep. I succeeded, for a while. I woke up barely thirty minutes ago because my throat was so dry I'm surprised it wasn't hosting mirages. And like any normal person (or perhaps like any person conditioned by unfortunate events) I sit a bottle of water on my dresser before I go to bed so I don't have to walk through an unlit house. This is particularly convenient because my room is on the complete opposite side of the house from the kitchen, and as I've stated this house is Fucked™ . So I get up and get my drink, and I see something in the dark that looks like it's sitting on the top of my lidded hamper. My hamper that had NOTHING sitting on it when I went to bed. Now I'll repeat it's very dark, I don't nightlight, and this thing isn't very big. It looks to be the size of a human baby at six months. I'm very blind. I'll add that in here. I don't see well in daylight let alone in the pitch black bowels of this house past midnight. So initially (yes, even knowing my own homes backstory and penchant for the supernatural) I write it off as me just seeing stuff out of the dark. I'm very White And Rational™ (id die in a horror movie) so I keep drinking my water, and when I'm done and turning around to go back to bed, what happens? THE THING ON THE HAMPER PITCHES FORWARD AND CRIES. Okay. To my credit I don't jump (jumps scare don't do it for me even real ones). My first thought actually, is that my mother has neglected to let my black cat outside for the night (he's indoor/outdoor this is a FARM so don't come pitching at me for this) and that he's sitting on my hamper. Sometimes when he whines, it sounds like the cry of a small child. Normally, I'd go to the hamper and pick him up, but he hasn't jumped down yet on his own either, and I'm still feeling unsettled. So I do another stupid thing, and go to my bed and get my phone to turn on my flashlight. Doesn't sound stupid. It's stupid. I should have left myself unknowingly in the fucking dark okay. Cause when I shine the light on my hamper I'm not met with my cat. Im met with a baby doll I haven't seen since I was five, sitting serenely, leaned forward with its mouth open, on the top of my hamper. Now kids, I fuck with a lot of things in the land of paranormal. I get a sick thrill from visiting haunting sites that aren't my own home, and I've investigated the history of my home and the surrounding areas paranormal records extensively, because it's an exciting topic. But if there's one thing, other than clowns, that I absolutely do not fuck with. ITS FUCKING BABY DOLLS. Porcelain dolls are fine, rag dolls are fine, toss me Annabelle's haunted ass any day. But not a baby doll, and especially not a life-like one. So at this point I'm actually no longer calm or rational. I haven't seen this thing in years and it was probably buried in the bowels of this house's storage. So my flashlighted, phone-wielding ass, takes off full sprint through the house and into my mothers room. She consequently jolts awake because I scare her with my thunderous presence, and she sits up. I explain to her what happens as fast and as calmly as I can. And I don't know if her tired brain absorbed all of it, cause really she wasn't rational at all but more in a sleepy, half-cocked sense than in a hysterically frightened sense. She calmly walks through the house blinking in the dark. Leaving me standing in the door to her room, and when she reaches my room, and I guess subsequently the hamper, I hear her eloquently say, "Well, shit." Just calmly. Rather gently. "Well, shit." She then proceeds to come back to where I'm still standing with the doll in question held over one elbow. Like it's nothing. I'll give her the credit of being sixty years old, and having lived in this house for every waking minute of it, so perhaps she's even more desensitized than I am. Or she's just batshit nuts, blown over the looneys nest. Because the next thing out of her mouth is: "I found it the other day. Thought I put it in my room." And she just walks by me back into her darkened room, sets the doll down somewhere, and climbs back into her bed. Leaving me to return to my own bed, where I'm currently lying fully awake, mourning the loss of whatever sleep I COULD have gotten, because I have to worry I'm going to wake up with a doll sitting somewhere in my vicinity when in all probabilities it apparently should have been in my mother's room. So. There's that.

Genre : Supernatural thriller, suspense, action, drama

Movie: 50 minutes

Studio: Ufotable

This is a story of a lonely girl and a determined doll. It is not a very happy story but sometimes stories just go that way. It is a story about how pain and yearning can make monsters out if us before we can notice it at all. How simple wishes can curse those around you. It’s also a story about finding a way to fill the emptiness within us all. Sometimes you succeed for a little while a soar, sometimes you fail and do your best not to drown. At times this is a sad story but there’s also hope hiding in the shadows. What you get out of this story, will depend on you.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to describe a 50 minute movie without giving too much away. The problem here is slightly different. The Garden of Sinners: Thanatos plays out mostly in subtext so a plain description of events won’t give you much of an idea. I tried my best though.

well I tried…

First let’s get the logistics out of the way. You can watch Garden of Sinners on Crunchyroll, where it is presented as a 10 episode series. They are in fact 10 movies of varying lengths which is why I included the runtime in this review. So far I have only watched Thanatos (the first movie made) so I can’t tell you how closely related they are and if they are better watched all in a row. Binge watching 10 movies (some over 2h) is a bit much for me. I’ll get into it more later but the atmosphere and narrative style of this first movie also doesn’t seem suited for rapid successive consumption. I’m working on my vocabulary. Please let me know if I’m using words wrong as I’m going about it pretty randomly.

Visually Thanatos is interesting although a bit unpolished. It uses this technique that makes the edges look like very wet ink wash. I’m not sure how to explain it and unfortunately it doesn’t show much in the stills. It’s a bit as id the lines waver.

just take my word for it…

The action comes in bursts, and everything is quite still the rest of the time. Shiki’s (the main character) small movements, like walking or sitting down, look jittery but I’m sure it’s a choice. On the other hand, action scenes are fluid and we’ll choreographed. Voice acting is wide ranging and varies from character to character with some pretty intense delivery choices but it fits with the writing…

Are you bored yet by this plain list of technical features? It’s quite dull isn’t it? There’s a reason for that. I’m trying to bury the lead here. I’ve always been quite bad at not immediately blurting out everything that’s on my mind.

I usually discuss the non narrative aspects of anime separately as a way of structuring my reviews. But here, it’s completely impractical. By far the most impressive element of The Garden of Sinners is the masterfully integrated visual storytelling. Maybe I’m reading too much into is, but from what I could overanalyze, every design, visual, animation and even sound choice made in the movie, contributed to the narrative.

don’t get me started on the light and shadows!

The story itself is a rather straightforward thriller with some supernatural elements. A string of sudden suicides rocks a small community and we catch up with a woman named Shiki that seems to want to stop the deaths. She believes there is something unearthly going on and she herself is more than meets the eye.

It’s presented in a very purposefully mysterious way. For instance, characters aren’t introduced. We don’t even know their names until we’ve seen them a few times. Their backgrounds and relationships to one another are never really established and you’re left to infer everything from conversations. It can be a touch destabilizing, but it was done well enough for me to follow along the course of events even though it left a lot open to interpretation.

Because of this, the characters could be considered underdeveloped. However, they are written in a way where the lack of information seems deliberate rather than bad writing. The same can be said for most of the events. There’s an ambiguity and a lack of context. At times I was reminded of Serial Experiments Lain, although The Garden of Sinners obviously doesn’t have the time to delve in too deep in its own mythology. Future movies may solve that.

what’s with the eyes? I dunno…

It won’t be for everyone. The wrap up can feel unsatisfying since it really didn’t teach us all that much. If you’re not a fan of vague narratives, you may find this movie annoying. On top of that, the actual plot is not that special, for the little we know about it. I would describe it as Suicide Circle condensed in a single hour and devoid of both it’s extravagance and wry humour.

But visual integration in the storytelling made it all worth while for me. Let me give you an example. The story tackles deep themes of existential questioning, emptiness and suicide. The idea that a person just sort of floats along life until they find themselves confronted to circumstances where they must choose to either fly or fall. Those moments that make you confront your very sense of being. The plot is simply an allegory of the idea. Both the protagonist and antagonist spend the movie facing this question in their own way.

Beyond that though, everything else reinforces the structure of long dead stillness punctuated by explosion of violent existence. Like I touched on above, movement is extremely subdued for the most part, except in those pivotal scenes where it becomes frantic. Characters are often silent and a lot of scenes have no dialogue but the few conversations that happen are tense and deeply meaningful.

it must be such a pain finding the right remote

Visually, there are repeated cluster motifs. And empty sky with a flock of birds. A bare wall with half a dozen clocks arranged together. A cluttered room where the feature is a wall filled with tv sets for no obvious reason. Shiki’s apartment is almost completely bare, her fridge empty, but she visits Touko in a cluttered, almost hoarder like office. Streets are either almost completely empty or heavily crowded. It’s a repeated all or nothing notion that goes hand in hand with the larger themes.

Another, more immediate element is the outlines. For the most part, they’re those thick and wavy watered-down lines. It makes everything seem slightly unsubstantial and ill-defined. Once again, there’s this element of unbearable lightness. Like nothing is really quite there, like it could just flitter away at any moment. But whenever the action or tension ramps up, those lines sharpen into fine well-defined clear edges. Everything comes into sudden focus. It subconsciously grabs your attentions and tells you this is an important moment. It also has the practical side effect of making action a lot clearer and easier to follow.

something’s about to happen

The color palette is subtly but completely redefined just about every other scene and more direct color cues are thrown in. Shiki wears the same blue kimono every day, but she puts on a red jacket over it once she decides to settle the score.

No one has pupils. This isn’t mentioned at all and could be dismissed as a quirky design choice to make things more *dark*. But I believe it’s an illustration of the general idea that people are empty shells and it takes personal strength and courage to find something to fill them with. That one is responsible for creating their own soul, lest they find their sense of self float away.

For me, this movie shined through its insistence of using every possible tool of the anime medium to add to its narrative, even though the narrative itself was not that stellar. And for this alone, I am more than happy to see what the other movies have to offer. It won’t be for everyone, but if it’s for you, it has a unique appeal.

if you do, could you tell us?

Favorite character: Touko

What this anime taught me: Thanatos is a minor figure in Greek mythology and a personification of death. I guess Shinigami… However, I think the title refers to Freud’s theory that humans have a “death drive”. Basically, an odd instinct towards risk and self-destruction that fights with our survival instincts. He called this drive Thanatos.

If you walk a mile in my shoes, you’ll end up in a bar

Suggested drink: Floating Goddess

Every time we get a close up of anyone’s eyes – take a sip

Every time the color palette switches – take a sip

Every time we see a body – shiver

Every time we see a ghost – liquid courage

Every time Tuko smokes – take a deep breath

Every time we see a doll or doll parts – take a sip

Every time anyone says “flying” – take a sip

Every time we see the news – pay attention

Every time anyone says “suicide” – take a sip

Every time we see Shiki’s apartment – get some ice cream

the little sketch at the beginning was funny!

I’m disappointed by how much is lost in the screen caps. The actual anime is more impressive.

The Garden of Sinners: Thanatos -The First Bloom Genre : Supernatural thriller, suspense, action, drama Movie: 50 minutes Studio: Ufotable This is a story of a lonely girl and a determined doll.
