Umm hi 👉👈 I realized that most of the asks you guys get are about games and rec lists. You guys deserve so much recognition for the work you put in this blog, so I wanted to ask if I can do a little get-to-know-the-mods thing? If that's okay!

1. Besides writing, what are your hobbies?

2. Do you have a niche interest right now?

3. Any fave songs/artists/bands?

4. Any fave movies/tv shows?

5. On a scale of 1-10, how likely would you survive in your wip's world?

You can totally ignore this if you guys want, no pressure. Anyway, much love to all the interact-if mods! You guys are incredible! ❤

We saw this ask and we went 👀 👀 👀 so we’re happy to answer! Thank you so much for the fun ask!

We also rated our survivability in all of our collective games, since Mars isn't an author! Fun stuff! Spoilers, though: it’s really not looking so great for me (Dani) but that’s fine!!! 😌

1. I’m a photographer as well as a graphic artist (but not like. A painter/drawer kind of artist!) and, on a general level, a maker and a tinkerer!

2. Fountain pens! I only write with ink, and only with fountain pens, and I use bottled inks/converters!

3. I’m pretty eclectic with music, but my top genres are alt rock, indie, indie pop, etc, as well as top 40s and some rap.

4. I feel like this is the hardest one for me to answer? Favorite movies/shows? Avatar: the Last Airbender has been a favorite show of mine since I was a little kid, but I have a harder time thinking of shows I would call a favorite in recent years. There are shows I’ve liked, and a lot of shows I’ve watched. But I’m picky! And demanding! It takes a lot to earn a place in Dani’s Trophy Case of Favorites. 😌 I would say I quite liked A Quite Place (movie), and I liked Us (movie). When it comes to TV shows, I have a hard time being pleased with them if they don’t end well. As a result, I have a penchant for a good limited series/miniseries (because they’re stories that have an end in mind and the plot reflects that, dagnabbit).

5. Heh. Okay.

In The Goodfellows? I think I stand I chance. I can exercise my sparkling wit and lovable personality to the best effect. I’m gonna give myself an 8/10 survivability rating. Even if I don’t have the right skills, I can go crying to the person who does and they’ll save me. Maybe.

In Creatures’ Cradle? I’m super $**!%d. 😌 1/10 survivability rating. And that 1 is me being nice to myself. The day the apocalypse breaks out I would probably be patient 0. I am self-aware. I would not do well in an apocalypse. Zombies care not for aforementioned sparkling wit and lovable personality, and I have all the muscle of a boiled spaghetti noodle. So it’s a no go.

Greater Than Gods (Cruz): Well. I’m going to be optimistic. And say that I have the wisdom not to do things I shouldn’t do and not to rock boats I shouldn’t rock. I’m going to give myself a 7/10 based on insider information, but also based on reckless optimism!

Vardir (Cruz): Cruz says this is a lighthearted game, so 10/10 LOL.

When it Hungers (Roast): I’m giving myself a nice, mediocre 5/10. I think I could put my mind to work here; I joke that I’m the village idiot, but I’m actually pretty smart! Unfortunately, I’m also curious, and maybe a little bad with authorities who won’t answer my questions. So I knocked off a lot of points due to the fact that I’d probably poke the metaphorical bear. So it’s a real coin flip as to whether I’d really make it or not.

Orthall Bay (Nines): Considering the genre is “horror” and the game intro includes the words “monster” and “maim,” I’m giving myself a whooping, enthusiastic 3/10. Yes, folks, I am that confident in myself! Once again, I can’t charm the socks off a monster (or can I?), so one of my greatest weapons is snatched from beneath my feet. Alas!

1. Beloved I’m a college student in the middle of a pandemic... i can hardly even write LOL i do draw at times which u can see in my personal blog (nothing too good really) and i used to do karate before things went to shit <3

2. Nothing niche I believe? All I do is leave Netflix as bg noise every day n play popular videgames (genshin)

3. Porter Robinson <3 I love Bea Miller a lot as well but lately I’ve been feeling Porter a lot

4. The Good Place <3

5. My WIPs:

Greater than Gods: Highly situational, the world GtG is set in is as broad as the real world LOL so I don’t have an universal answer. But keeping it vague, and knowing my own personality, I feel like 5/10. depends on my luck.

Vardir: 10/10 no one dies in Vikgade, unless you’re a hunter but I wouldn’t be a hunter <3

Others’ WIPs

I'm gonna give myself a solid 5/10 in all other WIPs because y'all aren't writing lighthearted stories either. I feel like as long as I avoid the role of the MC I will be mostly fine. I hope. But as Dani said I'm also prone to fight the wrong person and dig my own grave so 😌

1. Well, writing is a very, very, very, distant hobby since Words Hard, but I like to crochet and sculpt a little! Anything to do with fiddling with my hands and I’m good to go. And like, debatable but graphic design is my passion [insert clown emoji here since Tumblr said No]

2. Oh yeah a bunch! DnD yelling at people, thinking of arson, crocheting, rock climbing and simply vibing. I got into podcasts a few years ago and I’m always looking for more recs, so if you have some, hmu 😤

3. Pls,,,,my music taste is,,,so weird do not let me expose myself with lack of consistency but uhh. Current songs that are stuck in my head include; Cult of Dionysus , Achilles Come Down and The Last Shanty

4. If you’ve ever spoken to me before, I probably yelled about Pacific Rim to you or at you. Plus I love all The Mummy films and really enjoyed Castlevania (s3 excluded, we do not perceive that) as well!

5. Ah, mod survival simulator pt. 3

Alright, let’s go! I don’t have a WIP because again, words hard, but like, considering how feral I am when not tryna seem professional hm...

The Goodfellows: I wanna say a solid 7/10 because I’d hardcore vibe with the Traveler and probably instigate so much nonsense. I can also bribe with blueberry cake so maybe.

Creature’s Cradle: maybe a 4/10 and only because of pure spite keeping me alive long enough to smack someone. I’ve prepared for hypothetical zombie apolcapyses and I won’t hesitate to bap, but will be bapped back because I’m weak as hell.

Greater Than Gods: a toss up between 2/10 and 7/10! I can vibe and be chill but I also have terrible impulse control so...

Vardir: hm....I think pretty good survival rates all around? If you ask me to fight then like, okay sure, your knees are mine. So maybe a 8/10?

When it Hungers: .......8/10 just because I’d refuse to die if I can be a cool creature. Living for the aesthetic can and will drag me outta hell. But I’m also clumsy as hell so I’d probably crash as a porcelain or hold a rooster and perish (aka, real rating is a good 3/10)

Orthall Bay: 2/10, nope. Nope I’d be taken out in a heartbeat. Monsters can go pspsps and I’d head straight into the dark creepy forest like a fool if someone comes @ me. Half the time I’ll just assume it’s sfx makeup and vibe until it’s too late.

god, never put me in a universe where I cannot squawk like a bird and throw pebbles from a window. Oof

Anon, you're so sweet! I give you a forehead smoomch <333 As for your questions...

1. If I'm not writing, I'm usually watching video essays on Youtube. My go-to channels as of right now is Disrupt and Aperture! I just really like their videos. Aside from that, I recently got into podcasts. Currently going through Hello From The Hallowoods and Shelter and Warning, which are made by queer creators!

2. Oh oof, there's quite a bit so I'm just gonna put down one thing. For some reason, I really got into collecting tiny astronaut things? I recently bought this astronaut desk light, and I've got a package coming in for the miniatures I ordered. No purpose for them other than I think they're neat <3

3. I'm a bit private with my music taste (even tho I have Spotify connected on Discord lmao), but there's 5 songs that I'm currently obsessed with. I keep replaying them over and over again. Just squeezing all the serotonin I could get outta them.

4. I can't really say I have a fave TV show or movie because I can't really just pick one, but my current fave is 9-1-1 and Resident Alien. 9-1-1 because I just really love the found-family dynamics and how the show tackles sensitive topics, and Resident Alien because it's lighthearted comedy. My all-time fave movie is Flipped! I have the book too and I like rereading from time to time <3

5. You're in for a doozy, anon, because we're rating each other's games <333

The Goodfellows: 7/10

Listen. Shenanigans with the Traveler. I would get up to so many of them and that is what'll get me possibly bodied, not the actual environment itself <3

Greater than Gods: 7/10

I like to think I have enough common sense to uhhh not recklessly flip stones that should not be flipped <3 I'm a cautious and skeptic person irl so I think I'll hold up well? Then again, it's a vast environment change and while I can adapt pretty quick, I wouldn't like the lack of control in the unknown.

Vardir: 10/10

Going off what Cruz said, Vardir is lighthearted and focused on personal growth so I think I'll be okay! Self-growth here I come, babey!

Creatures' Cradle: 8/10

Maybe I'm overestimating myself, but I think I'll be able to survive in a supernatural post-apocalyptic world! Ah, but it depends on the motivation though. I like the idea of rebuilding communities and eventually societies, but the survival turmoil would be a constant battle I'd have to overcome. If we're talking survival itself though, I think I'll do well.

When it Hungers: 8/10

That's probably my wishful thinking but I think I'll be fine. Maybe. Possibly. Don't like the idea of being regulated by an organization so if I was a non-human creature that could pose a problem but I can roll with it <3

Orthall Bay: 6/10

Assuming I'm not playing as MC, my chances of survival uhhh changes quite drastically. Not enough to guarantee an untimely demise, but certainly enough that it would constantly keep me on my toes. I think that's the safest answer I can get without spoiling anything lmao

Thank you so much for asking! It's super sweet of you <3

1. Too many :'D I knit, I sew, I do carpentry (well, learning), I bake, I'm hammering away at HTML and CSS, my job kind of encourages learning new things and I take that to picking up new hobbies!

2. My time is kind of consumed with school work and work work and WIP work so not a lot of time to pursue niche interests right now. I've been watching a lot of horror game playthroughs, true crime youtubers, and an adorable show on Netflix called the Repair Shop <3

3. My taste in music is "what am I vibing with atm?" I've been listening to a lot of 80's music atm (don't @ me), but also Lo Fang and Kaleo, and whatever spotify recommends me on my discover weekly which is usually complete chaos.

4. I love the Mummy even though it hasn't aged 100% well (I'm a librarian, of course it's one of my gotos LOL), Legally Blonde, Leverage, Jumanji (the original), I'm....very bad at having recent tastes... and very bad at remembering my favorites when asked.

The Goodfellows: I'm a creature of comfort, 5/10 if I can just luxuriate in town and not actually interact with the story sfjkdbsdkf

Creature’s Cradle: I'd like to think I have a 50/50 shot XD 5/10, I want to think I'd be decent at a zombie apocalypse but ultimately would suffer an early fate.

Greater Than Gods: 10/10 if I'm just vibing, less so if I'm involved in the actual story XD

Vardir: I'd still suffer without technology but I can also knit for a living in this world so I'm down 8/10

When it Hungers: I feel like I could vibe here, there's tech if dated, hot showers, telephones are around by now... might still get bored. 7/10 though it'd be cool to be another creature....I should make a 'what creature of snv are you' quiz!

Orthall Bay: 7/10 idk I feel like after the first monster of the week I'd just skip town XDDDD I'm the worst protagonist, I see danger I just leave.

Favorite tim writers

Sorry for taking so long to answer this one. I'm still moving boxes, and I had to get a shower cause I got all sweaty and such. Gross I know.

But hmmmm. I been trying to think about it along the way.

1) Marv Wolfman.

He created Tim. No other contenders for me. While he may not have wrote him a lot, he wrote enough to make the base for all depictions of Tim at least should be based on.

2) Adam Beechon.

Why you may ask, because I think he understood the character at Tim, and used the personal trauma that Tim had amassed at the time in a way that stayed true to Tim's character. Showing that Tim can evolve, while not losing who he is for simple melodrama. And plus, he's this high, mainly cause while I like most of Dixon's writing till later on in his run, he's a prick.

The only thing off the top of my head is that Adam Beechon made Tim just a bit too cool. Because while he isn't the biggest geek ever compared to his friends who are obsessively geeky. Tim is still a big geek. That often felt a bit forgotten to make him more of a popular kid. Tim has his cool moments that get recognized, I think mainly his confidence in certain situations. But Tim needs to feel at least like a notable bit of a geek.

He didn’t write for my favorite era. But, I admire he kept Tim consistent while others destroyed him for the drama. Plus he had a longer chance to write him compared to others who either had him for a few small issues, not under his solo, or in Dixon’s case--wasn’t an asshole.

Beechon still can’t write Cass Cain, though.

3) Meghan Fitzmartin.

She's mostly got a very solid understanding of Tim, if not his relationship with some of the others. Typically one that's honestly not paid attention too for so long, it's just made to be generic, pretty, and bland.

There's a few flaws in the way she writes Tim, that, while small, are just not enough to make her go higher. Plus, you know. Revealed Tim's gay. Which is pretty nice.

Like this could just be me needing to reread, but I felt she made Tim take himself way too seriously. Tim never took himself too seriously. He took the job and being Robin seriously, but not himself. So sometimes when the story was focused on purely Timmy, he felt just a bit off.

4) Alan Grant

Though never a writer of Tim's solo, as far as I am aware. He wrote some of his earliest stories, and among them at least a hand full of his most important stories. I also think that he understood Tim's more childish side compared to Dixon, who I saw gave Tim a line about insurance deficits or something--like a 14-year-old boy would even care to do that, let alone reference it.

I think his biggest flaw if I remember right, was just that Tim's dialogue could be worded like he was tryna think of how a 90s kid would talk. Which dates it a bit. But mostly he was just fine and it fit in with how Tim was established to speak in his origin. A little kid doing his best to sound smart, with enough innocence, and naiveté, and with a genuine kid voice in there that makes it all work within what his origin establishes about him.

How well Alan Grant always achieved that--eh, but, still. I remember him being quite good. And I think he deserves more credit than he's given since he helped establish Tim, alongside Marv Wolfman, and Dixon.

5) Chuck Dixon.

While stated before he's not a morally great person. Who's bigoted opinions are shown well through his own contradictions made in his attempts to defend himself. He still wrote a very good Tim, and Tim's best stories. His biggest flaws to me, where sometimes feeling like he forgot what a kid was like within Tim's dialogue. It would sometimes be very good, which, that's part of writing a very good Tim. But every now and again Tim--didn't really feel like himself, and talked more like I imagine Dixon would speak. Going from a joke Tim would make that references TMNT to a joke only a curmudgeonly 30-year-old man would make, is very distracting.

And every now and again would portray Tim as a bit too mature, or--something along those lines if not the exact word to use. Tim was a light hearted kid that used his brightness to make Bruce hopefully remember his own light side. Dixon at times would struggle at this and write Tim more like how Dick would get at, at Bruce, and not Tim himself. Or just overall have Tim say something that, I really don't think the same kid from Lonely Place of Dying would be saying. He also made Tim proper mean in the few things of Young Justice he wrote. Clearly not understanding the Young Justice dynamic. Like Dixon couldn't help but leak out his own cynicism on a character literally created to be idealistic and a bit of an optimist.

He's a writer that could easily be one of Tim's best writers, which he showed with series like Tim's first Robin mini. Where, while Tim was portrayed as a bit more mature than in Lonely Place of Dying. Made more sense as his "mommy" had just died and he was trying to prove he's not just a kid. While also writing him to show just how much of a kid he really was deep down with his obliviousness and naiveté.

That still persisted in the solo, but there's just some moments where it's like. "He does remember what Tim's like right? And what a kid is like?" Which would created inconsistency among the Batman or Detective Comics writer that still had Tim just a bit more closer to his lighthearted naïve, but ready to prove himself roots.

Not to say this makes Tim's solo bad, but the more I've read it the more I noticed odd moments, I think towards the middle, and some even more towards the end where it could get very noticeable. Tim by the end of his run didn't always feel like Tim, and when he did, more often than not a very bland two dimensional version. Though there’s a few moments like that even in the beginning.

If I can think of anymore I'll add them, but as it is now, that's the best I can think of, and tried to give my reasons as to why on their positioning.

Hey there would it be to much to ask for Best boys Kageyama and Suga with an s/o who likes to play silly jokes on them so they spray some catnip spray on their sweater when their not looking and s/o's cat just keeps trying to play and cuddle them while the boys are just clueless as to why, while their s/o is just giggling😆 I recently did this to my brother and it was hilarious cuz he kept tryna hide away but my baby kept finding him.

S/o Pranking them

Kageyama, Sugawara

HI ANON -- I made these more vague instead of the catnip prank LOLOL so I hope that’s alright :(( Other than that, this idea was so cute !! Hope you like these hcs and take care of yourself <33

Kageyama:

Kageyama doesn’t really realize what’s going on before he was wayy too deep into being your victim in your pranks asdhfjh

The first few times he literally thought they were just weird events that kept happening as if it was NORMAL for his phone to casually change wallpapers on its own every few days

And then after a while it hits him like WAIT. I’M BEING PRANKED HERE AREN’T I

Becomes 234387% more paranoid after this and more weary of every single move you make

I think he’ll play some pranks back at you LOLOL and it’s always a complete miss or a complete success there’s no in between

He kind of tries to start a prank wars but you come up with more pranks more often so really there isn’t even really competition to begin with

Sugawara:

Suga catches on so so quickly

After the very first prank he’s like ‘nah someone is tryina get me here I just KNOW it’

And it doesn’t take him long to realize that it’s you

Doesn’t let you know that he found out -- he just starts to prank you back more and more everyday until you realize

I think Suga would LET you prank him sometimes kadhkf he sees how happy you look when you successfully trick him and he just thinks ‘alright seeing that smile is worth falling for these pranks’

Doesn’t really go into an intense prank wars with you, but it’s just something you two do to mess around with each other once in a while so it’s all very lighthearted :))

Casssss if you have self ships and time, I’d love to hear some headcanons you have!!💖🥺

NDMLSIXKSNE NO BUT YOUVE NOW UNLEASHED THE DELUSIONAL PART OF ME AAAAAA

P. S. I am in love with OriMakki uwu

Miya Osamu

⋆ So much food and eating and discovering new places to eat 😩

⋆ I’m quite a picky eater, so it’s either Osamu’s challenge or blessing because stuff I don’t eat will go straight to him (blessing), but that also means not eating some of the stuff he makes bc of my palate (challenge) LMAO like baby it’s not u, it’s my taste buds LOL but I’ll change his mind by making him view it as a challenge rather than a problem 🥴

⋆ Me making a bunch of semi-random food combos (butter & cream cheese sandwich, ribena and milk, etc.) and him tagging along to try because we’re too curious for our own good🤡😂

⋆ I will literally be Onigiri Miya’s hype woman. Watch me and Atsumu lowkey embarrass him but highkey support his business. That’s on unconditional love 😩👏🏼

⋆ Cafe hopping and you can’t change my mind 🗣

⋆ Us having quiet, low energy days together. Not much speaking, but it’s just enough to be together 😭 I’d also imagine nightly whispers being our thing, and it’s super intimate and soft and it’s something that Osamu loves and made such a habit out of that he can’t sleep properly if he doesn’t have it with me uwu

⋆ I like having alone time. He has a busy restaurant. Quite complimentary imo, but we’ll always steal little moments together. Shit keeps us going 😩 and if we have enough time and energy on the weekends, we’ll go on dates/meet with friends/family/etc. 😋

⋆ I will literally dote on this man but annoy him in the same breath, and Osamu can’t do anything but roll his eyes fondly at me with a leetle blush uwu

⋆ Overall, the relationship is more on the chill side but with lots of food and soft love involved uwu

Kuroo Tetsurō

⋆ I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again: OFFICE GOSSIP DUO 🤪

⋆ I can see us being the type of couple who fall in love as best friends 😩 like sure, we’re not the most attractive people we’ve seen (to each other), but the more we get to know each other, the more we just can’t help but let that love for each other’s personalities spill over to our appearances.

⋆ Because of our parental situations,, I think we’d try to be as mature as we can if we have an actual fight or if there’s a miscommunication/misunderstanding. We all have our different ways of coping too, so I think we’ll work it out fine together.

⋆ So much light hearted teasing 😩

⋆ I’m sensitive about certain topics, but other than that, if Kuroo teases or provokes me, I’ll take it as a joke and double down on his ass 🥴 man’s about to get a taste of his own medicine (lighthearted though)

⋆ We’ve seen how he looked after Kenma & the team bro and I love being taken care off without feeling like I’m a burden or incapable, so I’d just JXOWMSOXKWM for that side of him 😩 but I also have a habit of taking care of my loved ones, so Kuroo’s about to be LOVED 😤

⋆ I feel like we’re both secretive people? Honest, but secretive. I have no problem respecting boundaries and I’ve always been good at reading boundaries without being told to, so Kuroo would appreciate that I’m not tryna dig out every little thing. Sometimes, you just gotta keep a few things to yourself yk?

⋆ It’s basically one mature but provoking con man looking mf dating one soft sensitive mf who’s too intimidating & edgy looking for her own good LMAO

⋆ Overall, the relationship is like dating your lovable but also (lovingly) annoying best friend 🥰

Thank u for asking me this bc it really helped take some edge off of me today 😩🤲🏼💓 I LOVE U ORI 😤💓

#ORIMAKKI SUPREMACY THOUGH 😩😩😩😩#I will die on the ‘orimakki is such a cute ship name😭🤲🏼💓’ hill WATCH ME #binary.star #shooting.star #moonchild.pixelwisp #hq #miya osamu #kuroo tetsurō

Painted Flaws - Colossus/Piotr Rasputin x villian!Reader

Part 5

A/N: Let me know how you feel about this series!

Word count: 2.6k

Warnings: nothing too outlandish

Summary: You’re a villian with a moral grey area. You meet Piotr at an art exhibit, but both of you are there for completely different reasons. Though the attraction was inevitable, will it be enough? A growing passionate love wrought with secrecy, both of you try to move through this maze. But when the ball drops, what will you choose?

The sound of boots – thudding against the wet slippery tarmac of the alleyway – fills the sullen, dripping midnight air; illuminated by nothing but the street lamps, up high against the red-bricked walls of the two buildings – pipes slithering across the side – grimy and worn over with age.

The rain had resided into a light drizzle – the raindrop only serving to make the icy air that much more unbearable. Cable retracts his umbrella, retrieving the tracking device from his thick grey slacks, as he scans around the area for signs of the tracker chip.

Deadpool prances around him, splashing through the small puddles Cable had made a point to avoid. Deadpool’s hands come to rest over Cable’s shoulders, followed by a lighthearted, sashaying comment.

‘’Somebody’s a little tense in the ass today,’’ he slaps Cable’s ass, prompting an annoyed growl, and a sharp glare from the man.

Cable paces down the alley, as the beeping from the tracking device intensifies – getting faster and faster.

He looks up, only to find the same empty alleyway – save for the dumpster – in front of him.

‘’Where the fuck could that motorcycle be…’’

As he walks past the dumpster, the beeping becomes furious – making him stop in his tracks. The dark void [jb1] of the dumpster reveals itself – as Cable carefully lifts the lid up with the umbrella – the seeming emptiness of it lightly cast under the yellow shades of the streetlamps illuminates the outline of a beaten down and robbed-of-its-parts motorcycle; but the handlebars and the insignia of a skull were hard to miss.

‘’Guess we have our horse. The rider should be near.’’ Cable smirks to himself.

‘’Listen, I know you’re from the country and all – but no one is going to understand your horse metaphors.’’

‘’She’s close by, pea-for-brains.’’

Cable reaches in to grab the handlebars and the license plate, throwing the handle bars at Deadpool before carefully running the plate numbers. He holds down the comms device in his ear – ‘’NTW, looks like we have a trail. Run these numbers for me’’

‘’Will do.’’ A disembodied voice – NTW’s – answers back in the comms immediately.

‘’Oh, so when Foxy Grandpa here asks for something, he immediately gets a response. But when I ask for nearest steak house, you leave me on radio silence!’’ Wade whines, as the both of them head back to their rumbling car, as the smoke from the exhaust rises against the gently dropping rain – starting up before disappearing into the night.

***

You feel the sudden waft of cool air tickle your toes, making you instinctively jerk your feet up and back into the warm safety of your blankets. The movement wakes you up enough to sense the broad, rising and falling chest that your arm was draped over. Your face was close to his, the heat radiating off his body like a restful fireplace.

From your position, you could see the window, the changing colour of the sky, an angel blue rising over the horizon.

You hold Piotr’s body close to you, snuggling against his clavicle – and the movement stirs him awake, as he takes in a sharp breath.

‘’…. hmm?’’ a soft sound escapes from him, as he slowly shifts around to face you.

‘’I didn’t say anything,’’ you murmur, after a light chuckle.

‘’Is that so?’’ his voice was gruff from sleep, almost a statement more than a question – his body sways around, and now you were on your back, as his large palm glides over your hips, under your shirt – stopping just short of your breasts.

You smile at the little gesture – giving him a mischievous smirk before pulling his hand up higher, just enough to cup your breast, putting a hand over his and closing it into a squeeze.

Piotr rumbles a laugh, his smile with teeth showing, as he nudges his nose against your neck – not making any effort to move his hand from its new spot. He places a kiss on your neck, leaving butterflies in your stomach, as you both drift off again.

***

The morning sun came way too quickly for either of your likings. Piotr’s phone had woken the both of you up, as it buzzed against the wooden bedside table.

He takes in a hissing breathe, mildly annoyed by the intrusion. You’d been awake before him, relishing in the feeling of his body sidled against yours – hand still cupped softly over your breast – in the gentle silence of the morning, when the ringing made you turn your attention.

Piotr seemed to take a few seconds to make any sort of moves to answer the phone – reveling in the last few moments with you before duty called.

‘’You should probably get that,’’ you say, your voice still low-slung from sleep, as you trace roundabouts down the bare smooth skin of his back, feeling the ridges and tension, as he moves to prop himself up on his elbow, lowering a soft kiss onto your forehead, before sitting his body up and against the edge of the bed.

A radioed voice speaks to Piotr – not even a hello uttered – prompting a string of hums and okays from him. He gets up to wash up, still on the phone, and comes back to bed as you wait for his phone call to be over

‘’I’ll be there as soon as I can. I appreciate the good work. See you at the man– … station,’’ he stutters, as he looks back to you. Your body was turned away from him, and he let out a soft sigh of relief.

Once you hear the phone’s gentle thud on the table, you turned around to face Piotr – his back still towards you. You wrap yourself over his shoulder, smothering your head into his neck from behind as he chuckles a low rumbling laugh.

‘’Do you have to go?’’ you ask, disappointed at the prospect of Piotr having to leave so early in the morning.

‘’Da. I’m sorry. I really so wish I could stay a little longer…’’ He seemed as disappointed as you were – and you didn’t want him feeling sad as he was leaving.

You nudge him backwards, repositioning your body in front of him as his body fell back onto the bed, with you straddling over his waist – cupping his face, your hands pulling him into a kiss.

His body concedes to all your whims – thankful, even, for the wonderful show of affection.

The longing even before the leaving of a lover.

He’s surprised by his own thoughts, Piotr. The way you made poetry come so easily to him – someone who never thought words were enough to express the things he felt in his heart.

When your lips leave his – much too soon – his deep blue eyes regard you with a tenderness that could bring the greatest forests to its knees.

You become bashful in the spotlight of his attention, not knowing what to say in the moment; you laugh nervously – as his hand tucks a stray strand of hair behind your ear.

‘’Piotr?’’

‘’Da?’’’

You laugh again. You didn’t know why exactly you said his name. Maybe it was your way of bringing him back to the present.

He reciprocates your laugh. ‘’In Russia, we have saying… smekh bez prichiny - priznak durachiny.’’

‘’Oh? What does that mean?’’ You ask, curious at this sudden connection to his language.

He laughs to himself, almost as if he had an inside joke with himself.

You smile with a frown crossing your face, incredulously waiting for him to answer you.

‘’It means… ‘laughter without a reason is a sign of a fool’, ‘’ he promptly giggles as he watches your eyes widen in shock. You swat at his arm as you playfully push him off the bed.

‘’I THINK it’s time for you to leave, Mr. Rasputin.’’

Piotr relents and stands off the side of the bed, laughing as he goes into the bathroom to get changed.

‘’Welcome back, chrome-dome! How was the sleepover? Did ya feel good? Cos whilst you were out there getting pegged or whatever, we have been busting our asses off tryna find our little friend here,’’ Deadpool points to the blurry, screen-capped picture of a masked person on a bike – just as Piotr walks into the mansion.

‘’Give him a rest, dickface,’’ Cable rises, ‘’Colossus, we ran the license plate number… and it belongs to someone who lives on this address–‘’ Cable passes a slip of paper to Piotr– ‘’but when we paid them a visit, turns out they’re a 70-year-old senior who’s been dead for 2 years,’’ Cable informs with a snark undertoned with his annoyance.

‘’Our gal’s nifty. Left a paper trail that goes nowhere. NTW is tracking more street cams to see if she left the scene on foot or on another vehicle. She’s found the street our little friend walked down. Does it ring any bells to you?’’ Cable shows a hologram of a pixelated woman walking down the street, disappearing off the street as she gets into a car.

‘’Stop,’’ Piotr notices something in the background, ‘’please zoom in on that building.’’

Cable obliges, flicking the fingers against the screen, bringing the building closer and closer until the name of the shop comes into view.

Bert’s Flower House

Piotr acknowledges what he had initially suspected.

‘’I know that flower shop.’’

***

‘’I’ve got a job for you.’’

‘’Go figure.’’

Demetrius had sent a messenger to meet at your designated meeting location, informing you about an important transfer.

And here you were, at some shady shipping dock, waiting for Demetrius to give you details on the transfer. The whole scene – rocky harsh waves crashing and rocking the boats as the winds howled in the background – was like something out of a crime novel.

He wasn’t alone this time. His goons were with him, one on each side – armed with rifles and hidden knives.

You were smart enough to come armed and armoured. You had connections with manufacturers who made specialized clothing that were bulletproof. You also had small weapons in your arsenal that could give you time to escape any situation. Demetrius would sometimes call you his ‘one-man army’.

He takes a deep puff of his cigar before speaking.

He motions to the suitcase sitting on the table in front of him.

‘’This here, my girl, is our most prized possession. Worth trillions and trillions. And every government and their mums want their hands on it. What I need you to do is deliver it to Mr. Synder.’’

‘’Him? I thought you hated him.’’

Demetrius laughs. ‘’Excellent deduction, child, but in this business, hate has no place where money should be.’’

You cringe at how nonchalant his greed manifests into righteous speeches.

He gives you more details before dismissing you. The suitcase was to be delivered within 48 hours – at your convenience, which gave you more leeway than you thought to get your own plan set in motion.

***

On your way back home, you decide to pay D.K. a visit at his school.

You come to a stop outside his school’s front gate on your new motorcycle, the unmistakable crunching of new rubber on the tarmac was something you’ve missed.

You see him waiting for the bus at the bus stop up ahead and pull up closer to him, grabbing his attention as you pull off your helmet.

‘’Hey kid. Need a ride home?’’

The smile that lit D.K.’s face when he saw you as you removed your helmet was better than you had imagined.

You bring him to a nearby diner – mostly because you had to let him in on the plan you had for him.

His family had to be displaced due to him getting into trouble with your organization, and you felt wholly responsible – but the moment they figured out D.K.’s latent X-gene, you swore to keep him away from any sort of experimentation.

It was 4 years since that move, and you made sure he had a place to stay for the time being, but you’d always been a looming presence – a safety net – for him.

You had him enrolled into law school when he expressed interest in helping you out – mainly to get the boys who had gotten entangled with Demetrius get out of jail.

The waiter sets down a plate with a sizzling steak 2 times the size of your palm, followed by a hot bowl of fries, in front of D.K.

He looks at the steak, then back at you.

‘’I didn’t know today was my birthday,’’ he asks incredulously.

‘’Ha. Ha. Ha. Is that what they teach at law school? Snark?’’

‘’Yeah, it’s a core module. And I have the highest GPA.’’

You swat the side of his head playfully, as he starts chowing down on his meal. You wait for him to finish, stirring your cup of coffee as you watch the bustling street through the window.

The heavy grey clouds had been taking their time – their gloom still lingering on the ice-cold pavement, punctuated with puddles that little kids would purposefully step on, much to their parent’s disapproval.

You look back to D.K., and you wonder if he hates you for being part of the reason he’s in this predicament. He somehow notices your staring, and looks up – his loud chewing now stopped.

‘’Do you need something? Why are you staring at me, huh? I owe you something?’’

‘’GOD, would you just Shut. Up.’’

This was one of the things you loved about your relationship. You knew he was a bright kid when you first decided to take him under your wing – just needed the right resources. But he was also the most annoying and snarky, as-close-to-having-a-little-brother as you could get.

You smirk at him for a moment, but it fades when you realise that this arrangement can’t last for too long anymore.

‘’Hey. We need to get moving along. Your passports and documents are all settled. My Boss is on the move as well, and I can’t risk another incident with him finding you. He knows you’re nearby, which is reason enough for me to send you away as far as possible.’’

D.K. stops eating, avoiding eye contact as he stares blankly into his half-empty milkshake cup, rocking it on its base like a grumpy teen.

You knew what it was. Separation anxiety.

‘’Listen, kiddo. Your family is back there waiting for you. And they want so desperately for you to come back home…’’ You let your hand find his, and give him a firm squeeze.

He finally looks at you. ‘’I know. I just… I don’t want to leave you. You’ve spent so much time taking care of me, and trying to take care of everyone your shitty boss ruined… who’s here caring for you?’’

His words strike you hard. But you knew you’ve always had the answer for it. Just never the question.

‘’I’m not a good person. There’s a lot to me that you don’t know. This is just me, trying to make amends to my past. My goals are heavy, and so are the means to get there. I don’t want any more collateral damage.’’

‘’But you care. You could leave right now if you wanted to.’’ He asserts, his voice almost croaking.

‘’D.K. stop. I know what I’m doing, and I don’t need you to lecture me on this.’’ You keep your voice stern; there were still things he didn’t know about what your plans were.

‘’I can’t risk you, D.K. They know about your X-gene.’’

‘’That’s the other thing. Can I become an X-Man?’’ He asks, half-jokingly.

‘’Only if you wanna die and come back to life, like, five times minimum.’’

‘’Sounds sick.’’

You swat the side of his head again, before moving out of your booth to pay for the meal. You drop D.K. off at his student dorm before heading for the transfer site.

***

‘’If we get to – ‘’

NTW’s sentence is cut off by loud, incessant alarm bells blaring across the mansion, kicking the team into high alert.

Cable brings up his techno arm, tapping at it, when the scene of the city comes to view on a hologram, with the sound of a news report in the background.

‘’BREAKING NEWS. A swarm of sentinels have descended upon the city near Upper East Side, 2nd avenue, attacking nearby buildings. Civilians are told to steer clear of the area and follow orders from the authorities as they try to take hold of the situation.’’

Colossus looks to Yukio, then to Cable and Wade – then straightens up.

‘’We have job to do now, the mystery lady can wait.’’
