I have a theory: what if when the whole universe where Miguel was staying was collapsing it mess up his DNA. (also why is he more feral and aggressive and why he need to inject himself)
Tumblr media
Disclaimer: So this theory was eating away at me a week after I saw both Spider-Man movies and being obsessed with Miguel I thought I put more into it. Also I know the bare min.of Spider-man 2099 Iiterally read up to half of it just make sure I’m not totally BSing.
So the theory goes is when Miguel was in the other universe and during it collapsing it might of mess up his DNA. I mean he would have to leave as soon as possible or he is either be stuck in nothingness void or worse get deleted himself.  Just seeing everything including your daughter getting deleted can traumatize a person so I can’t blame him being too stunned to move in time before it collapse. Also thinking he still have the prototype watch from the end of the first movie I’m guessing it not  perfect at teleporting yet. So with that maybe he has gotten glitch out but unlike other spider-people it effects him worse. Thinking the reason why it effects him worse because of his origin.
Those who don’t know his origin. Miguel didn’t get his spider- power through the whole I gotten bitten by a radioactive spider. He was genetically created through a machine during trying to fix his DNA since he was drugged. ( I don’t know if they change it since its a kid movie but it seem to follow the formula)  meaning he half man half spider.  And clearly made him different. The claws, fangs, and no spidey sense. Also he more of brutal guy compare to most Spider-people, he  like  fighting a black suit spider-man. And i think he had kill people in comic either accident or purpose. 
Tumblr media
So when he has to inject himself with that serum im guess it to keep him more stable he probably breaking down in DNA level (which doesn’t help his mental and emotional state that is also unstable) I also check if he do it in comic and no he doesn’t. he doesn’t even want this power. either he might be dying (oh god no) or he mutating worse ( oh god yes) or third that just come to mind he be losing his powers (third is a less likely compared to the other two since he be over moon that he not a freak anymore) out of the three I feel like the second one is more likely to happen if it they have choice one.
Tumblr media
But we will have to see in the next movie my evidence is kind of lacking but I think it might happen (even if there a 1% chance it is in movie ill take my first W on a theory) I just want share theory will you all.

Hmmm how about a request about shapeshifter reader getting captured by the scientist and gets experimented on. When Lloyd finally rescues them they are scared and won't look at him or let him touch them because some of the experiments cause bad burns and scars to their body and they are now self conscious about them.
You’re Safe Now Part 4
Warnings: angst/fluff. mainly angst, swearing, mentions of torture, self consciousness
Tumblr media
You and Lloyd were out walking again, this time in your human form. It was nice to see the different shops and landmarks around. You and Lloyd stopped by at a candy shop and Lloyd told you to wait outside. You waited outside as Lloyd went to go buy candy. You couldn’t help but feel like you were being watched but you shook it off. That was the biggest mistake you have made in your entire life. You felt someone wrap their hand over your mouth and pulled you into an alleyway. You fought the best you could but he was stronger. You accidentally breathed in a chemical and you passed out. 
“Fuckin’ finally. You’re a tough one ya know that? Dr. Brigon is gonna kick my ass but at least he’s gonna have fun with you.” he said. 
Lloyd walked out of the candy shop and saw that you weren’t there. He called your name and looked around but you weren’t anywhere. He saw a truck with the hunter from the other day. He dropped the candy and ran back to The Bounty. 
“Guys! (Y/N)’s been kidnapped!” he yelled as he entered the ship. 
“What?! How?!” Kai asked. 
“I don’t know how. But when I left the candy shop, they weren’t there. As I was looking around, I saw that hunter from the other day.” 
“We gotta go save them!” Cole said. 
“Let’s come up with a plan and then we can go save them.” Lloyd said. The ninja agreed and went to go come up with a plan. 
“Hold on, (Y/N). We’re coming.” he said to himself. 
~~~~
You woke up, not knowing where you were or how you got there. You looked around and saw that you were in your leopard form and in a glass cell. You tried clawing the glass but you got a shock to your neck. You yowled in pain and fell to the floor. 
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you. You don’t want to get marks on that pretty neck of yours now do you?” You looked towards the voice and saw the scientist who wanted you and the hunter who kidnapped you. You growled lowly as they walked over to your cell. 
“Oh don’t worry, sweet thing. We’re gonna take such good care of you.” the scientist said as he knelt down to your height. He then ordered the hunter to put on some protective gear. The hunter went to put on the gear and stepped into your cell. He grabbed you by the collar and held you still. The doctor came in with a very scary looking syringe. He told the hunter to tilt your neck and the hunter did just that. Very roughly. He stuck the syringe in your neck and it hurt really bad. You moaned in pain as the contents of the syringe went inside you. The hunter let you go and you turned into your human form. 
“W-what did you do to me?” you whimpered. 
“Oh, just a simple serum that I have developed. It helps stop your shapeshifting so that I can experiment on you. And the best part about this is, it was made from your parents.” he said. You gasped and scooted away from him. 
“What are you gonna do to me?” you asked. 
“Oh, nothing much. Just extract some of your DNA, your blood cells, you know science shit.” he said. He ordered the hunter to pick you and he did just that. He brought you to the scientist and held your arms behind your back. The scientist grabbed a small knife and brought it close to your face. 
“No, please don’t. No. NO!” 
~~~~
The ninja had developed a plan to save you and headed to where they met the scientist. Once they got there, Lloyd reminded the ninja the plan. The ninja nodded in agreement and headed inside. When they walked inside, they were greeted by the hunter. 
“If you came to save that pathetic shapeshifter, you’re gonna have to get through me first.” he said. 
“Go. We got this.” Kai told Lloyd. Lloyd nodded and went to go find you while the ninja distracted the hunter. Lloyd walked through the halls, trying to find you. When he heard you scream, he knew exactly where to go. He followed the sounds of your screams and soon found you, all cut up with burns on your arms and your legs, and the scientist torturing you. 
“Hey! Leave them alone!” Lloyd yelled as he pulled out his swords. The scientist turned around and looked at Lloyd. 
“Well, well, well. If it isn’t the green ninja. So nice for you to join us.” he said. 
“Let. Them. Go.” Lloyd growled. 
“Or what? You’re gonna do that pathetic tornado thing to knock me out?” the scientist mocked. Lloyd growled again and charged at the scientist. He swung his sword and used his power until the scientist was knocked out. Lloyd put his swords away and ran to you. 
“(Y/N)! Are you okay?” he asked. 
“L-Lloyd? Is that you?” you asked. 
“Yeah. It’s me. C’mon. Let’s get you out of here.” He picked you up and you whimpered in pain. 
“Everything hurts.” you said. 
“I know. I’m gonna take you back to The Bounty and Zane is gonna help patch you up. Just hang on, okay?” he said. You nodded and held on to him as he ran out of the lab. 
“Guys, I got them. Let’s go.” he said. 
“Thank god. I don’t know much longer I could go against him.” Nya said. The ninja ran as fast as they could to The Bounty. Misako wasted no time in lifting the anchor when the hunter came out. He tried jumping onto the anchor but he missed. Once the anchor was up, Lloyd handed you to Zane and Zane went to go take care of your wounds. 
~Le Time Skip~
Lloyd knocked on the door to the medical room. When he heard Zane saying that he can come in, he opened the door and walked in. He walked over to you and sat down next to you. 
“How’re you doing, (Y/N)?” he asked. 
“I-I’m doing okay. Zane was just finishing up.” you said softly. Lloyd smiled and got a better look at you. You had a scar over your eye covered with some bandages. You also had what appeared to be second degree burns on your arms and legs, also covered in bandages. Zane finished wrapping up your leg and grabbed some more painkillers along with some burn cream. 
“Hey, Zane. Do you mind giving me and Lloyd some time alone?” you asked. 
“Sure. I’ll be right outside.” he said. He handed you the medication and walked out of the room. 
“I’m sorry that I wasn’t trusting my instincts when I got kidnapped.” you said, looking at the ground. 
“No. It was my fault. I should’ve brought you into the store with me. I just wanted it to be a surprise. I know you’ve never had human candy so I thought that I would bring you some. But, things didn’t go as planned.” Lloyd said. You felt the urge to cry and buried your face in your hands. It hurt to do so, but you didn’t care right now.
“Hey, why’re you crying?” Lloyd asked. 
“I look so horrible right now. And I’m too careless to trust my own instincts. I don’t deserve to live. You should’ve left me with that scientist. At least, I would’ve been able to see my family again.” you sobbed. 
“(Y/N), look at me.” You lifted your head and looked at Lloyd. He took his thumb and gently wiped your tears away, trying to be careful of your wound. 
“I know you look really bad right now, but they’re gonna heal. I bet that eye one’s gonna look badass once it heals.” You giggled at that.  
“I know that you’re a little careless. But at least it’s not as bad as Kai.” he said. 
“I heard that!” Kai yelled. 
“Oh, shut up! Anyway, you shouldn’t think bad about yourself. Things will get better. I promise. I know your family would be so proud of you for surviving. I can feel it.” You smiled and hugged him. He hugged back and rubbed your back. 
“Wanna go watch My Hero with me and the others?” he asked. You nodded and he picked you up. He took you to the theatre room and sat you gently on his lap. He handed you a bowl of popcorn and you all watched My Hero Academia together. You soon fell asleep, and Lloyd took you back to his room to sleep. He climbed into bed and held you close to him and fell asleep himself.

dna be damned
written for @whumptober2020 day 2: kidnapping, pick who dies Even though Peter tries not to think about it, he knows Tony's favorite is Morgan. Why wouldn't she be? She's his real, biological daughter. Peter's just an intern that stuck around. But when a bad guy uses this against him, it feels even worse than he imagined. 2.k, ao3
"Keep it moving, brats. I don't have all day." The masked man behind Peter jabbed him in the back with the tip of his gun again.
Normally, this was when Peter made a quick witted response, but he couldn't. Not when he had Morgan by his side. If he said one wrong word, she got punished. He learned that the hard way when he didn't answer a question and she got slapped. 
That was the first and last time he let her get hurt. 
Peter, on the other hand, had an eye swollen shut, a bruise covering the left side of his face, and dried blood dripping from his eyebrow. 
He wasn't even Spider-Man; he was just Peter Parker picking up his little sister from school. They were snatched before he could even feel his spidey sense could go off.
That was a few hours ago, and now, they were being dragged off to another spot without even a word of what they were doing. 
Peter wasn't sure where they were going, but wherever it was, he was going to make sure that Morgan stayed by his side, unarmed. He made sure that she kept up and didn’t give the man any excuses to hurt her. 
They stopped in another room, that was much more open than the other room they were crapped in. He shoved Peter in a chair first and started tying his wrists and ankles to the chair. Peter didn’t struggle, even though he could have easily beat him. “Don’t hurt her.” 
“Oh, I won’t. As long as she behaves.” 
Morgan was too terrified to say a word. She’d been quiet since she woke up. She was strong for a 5-year-old. The man wasn’t as rough with her as he was with Peter when he tied her down. 
“Wait here.” 
Then he was out of the room, and a few minutes later, he was back with another man. This man, however he wasn’t masked, and Peter recognized him immediately. “Mr. Stark?”
Tony looked like hell. His eyes were wide and he was dressed in dirty jeans and a sweatshirt. Ever since the snap, he’d retired from being Iron Man. He could barely move his right arm anymore and the right side of his body was heavily scarred. He shouldn’t be out here getting his heart rate up. His voice shook when he spoke. “Hey, kiddos. Didn’t you remember when I told you to come right home after school? Mom needed help with dinner.” 
Tony wasn’t as good with his sarcastic remarks as he usually was, not when his children were tied to chairs. 
“Sorry, Mr. Stark--.” Peter was cut off with a quick slap. 
Tony raised his left arm. “Hey, now...no need for all that. I brought you the money. That’s all you wanted, now let them go.” 
The man laughed. “Are you really this foolish? Yes, the money does help for all of the pain you caused my family...but I’m not done.” 
“Then let’s talk it out. You and me. No need to bring my kids into this.” Tony’s voice was calm and he didn’t make any sudden movements. 
“I used to have two kids, too.” He put a hand on Peter’s shoulder and squeezed ever so slightly. “I was with them in the park during the battle of New York. They were scared and they ran...I heard them both screaming for help. I went to my daughter, thinking I could save her, and then find my son. But when I went to find him...it was too late.” 
“Okay, first of all, that was like-- a dozen years ago. I’ve honestly lost track between all of the time traveling I’ve done. And second of all, how the hell is that my fault?”
“You’re the only one left. Thor is gone, Hawkeye went crazy, Hulk is some hybrid, Captain America is gone, and Black Widow is dead.” 
Peter could see the pain in Tony’s eyes. At a time, all of them had been Tony’s family, and they were gone. “Gee, thanks for reminding me.” 
“You’re the only one left to pay. So I’ll give you a choice. Which kid are you saving?’
Tony frowned with a blink. “I’m sorry, what?”
“You get to bring one home with one you. The other stays here with me and dies.” The man started to rub Peter’s hair softly. 
“O-one of them?”
“I went home that day with one. So will you.” 
Peter’s heart started to beat wildly. He could tell by the look on Tony’s face that he wasn’t expecting this. He had no plans to get out of this. He couldn’t let Tony make this choice...or maybe...maybe Peter didn’t want to hear Tony’s answer. “Tony, take her home.” 
Tony was still reeling from the choice given. He furrowed his brow and turned to Peter. “W-What? Peter, what the hell are you talking about?”
“You need to bring Morgan home. She’s terrified. She’s a child-- leave me here. I’ll handle this.” 
“Yeah, Daddy,” the man cooed. “Bring little sissy home.” 
“I’m not leaving you here, Pete. You’re ridiculous.” Tony fidgeted on the spot, and it was so unlike Tony that it scared Peter. 
“Please. Take her and go.” 
“You’re running out of time.” The man moved his hand from Peter’s hair and pulled out a gun, pressing it against Morgan’s head. Now, she started to cry, speaking for the first time since they were taken. 
“Daddy! Please!” 
Tony took a step forward, his voice sounding choked up. “Okay! I’ll take her-- just get the fucking gun off her head!” 
“Is that your final answer? Are you choosing her?”
Tony glanced over to Peter only for a second, but it was long enough for Peter to see the anguish in them. “Y-Yes.” 
He pulled the gun away from Morgan’s head and moved it to Peter’s. “Come on then. Untie her.” 
Tony hesitated. 
“Do you want me to shoot her too?”
“No!” Then he hurried forward and fell to his knees in front of Morgan. His right hand was shaking as he tried untying the knots from her wrists. He fumbled, unable to get them undone. He cursed under his breath as Morgan continued to cry. 
“Hurry up,” he sang, digging the gun deeper into Peter’s head. 
Peter tried not to make a sound because he knew Tony was having enough trouble with Morgan. He stared ahead, focusing on the thump thump of his heart as his spidey senses screamed at him. 
Eventually, his right hand cooperated enough to untie all four knots and Morgan jumped into his arms. Tony put a hand on her back to hold her in close. “Please. Let me take him too. Please.” 
“You get one.” 
“Peter, don’t worry-- I won’t let him. Okay? Just-- just hold on.” Tony stood up with Morgan in his arms and took a step toward Peter. 
“It’s alright, Mr. Stark. Don’t worry about me. She’s your daughter...and I’m well, me. You made the right choice.” He gave him a small smile, just in case this was the last time he’d be seeing him. 
“You have five seconds to get out of here or I shoot her while she’s still in your arms.” 
“Don’t! He’s leaving!” 
“Peter,” Tony said, sounding incredibly reluctant. 
“Go, Mr. Stark!” Peter squeezed his shut so he didn’t have to look at Tony anymore. He kept them shut until he heard Tony’s feet running out of the room, and the man started laughing. 
“How does it feel knowing that you’re not Daddy’s favorite?” 
Peter tried not to believe his words. Even though Morgan was Tony’s biological child, and Peter was really just an intern that stayed around a little too often. Even though she was his baby girl. Even though he replaced Peter with Morgan and Tony loved her every moment of her life from before her first breath. Peter knew him for less years than Morgan was old-- not including those 5 years of time, at least. 
Peter felt his eyes burn at the thoughts. “He was in an impossible spot. You know more than anyone else. He made the right choice.” 
The gun clicked and Peter tensed. He could fight now. He could rip out of these shitty knots and knock the man unconscious within a minute. But why didn’t he? Why did he just sit there, thinking about how he was left, even though he told Tony to pick Morgan? He was right. She should have been saved. He could save himself if he just pulled it together and stopped feeling sorry for himself. 
Before he could let his thoughts go any more wild, there was a gunshot. 
Peter thought he pissed away his chance at escaping, but if he did, then why was he still alive? And why didn’t he feel the bullet’s entry? 
“Take that, prick.” 
That wasn’t Tony, but that was someone just as familiar. Peter glanced over his shoulder and saw Happy standing behind him with his gun still raised. Then he looked down at the ground where the man was lying unconscious. 
“Did you…?”
“Kill him?” Happy asked, walking closer. “No. It’s nonlethal. Kinda like a tranq, but it’s more of a pellet than a dart. Hurts like a bitch. Wanted to kill him but something tells me you’d have a problem with that.” 
“I thought…” 
Happy walked around the chair, kneeled down, and started to untie the ropes. “You thought he came in alone? No backup? I know Rhodey is usually his Starsky, but I called shotgun.” 
Peter was speechless, trying to calm his heart down enough to realize he was alive. Tony may have chosen Morgan, but he was alive. 
Happy lifted his chin up gently so he could get a good look at the side of his face. “They got you pretty good, huh?”
“You would have laughed at his form,” Peter said in a small voice. 
That startled a laugh from Happy. “Oh, yeah, kid?” Peter nodded his head as he stood up and Happy immediately helped him up. “Easy, kiddo.”
“Where’s Morgan? Is she okay?’
“She’s fine.” Happy shook his head. “You know, sometimes, you should worry about yourself too.” 
Peter could walk on his own, but he liked the comfort of Happy supporting him too much to let him go. So he leaned against him as they walked out of the warehouse and was met with blinding lights from the police and ambulance all waiting nearby. He didn’t even get a second to let his senses adjust to his surroundings before he was being engulfed in a hug. 
Happy laughed and took a step back, “Hey, Tony.” 
Tony didn’t pay attention to Happy, he was too focused on Peter. He cupped Peter’s cheeks, and Peter could feel his right hand shaking. “Peter.” 
“Mr. Stark, where’s Morgan?”
“She’s fine. She’s with Pepper.” His eyes scanned over Peter’s body. “Are you okay? That gunshot-- were you hit?”
“No. It was Happy. I’m fine.” Peter held onto Tony’s wrists. He never thought he’d get a chance to see him again. 
“I was so scared. I thought I lost you again. Don’t ever pull that shit. Never again.” Tony moved his hands to pull him into a hug. “I’m sorry.”
Peter immediately shook his head. He didn’t want to hear this apology. “You don’t need to.” 
“I do. I need you to understand that I would never choose one over the other if I didn’t know Happy was in the other room waiting.” 
Peter swallowed around the lump in his throat. “She’s your daughter. It’s okay.” 
Tony pulled back and looked him in the eyes. “And you’re my son. DNA be damned. Morgan is my baby, but you’re my baby too. So don’t make me ever live a nightmare like that again.” 
Peter couldn’t help his small smile. “Really?” Tony huffed, and gave him a small smile of his own. “Don’t make me repeat it. I may have some experience with being a dad, but I still get hives.” 
Peter hugged him tightly, hiding his face in Tony’s neck. “I love you too, Mr. Stark.” 
“Yeah, yeah...just keep hugging me, squirt.”

Boomlord weird adventure
Chapter 8 what time is it?
It was early morning in the omnispace void. Boomwood had gotten to the kitchen to start brewing coffee as the footsteps of a yawning purple hair woman enter the room."morning Twilight."Twilight mearly gave him a wave before sitting down. Looked at her noticing the look on her face. To be honest she looked exhausted.'ah shit'he quickly poured a shot glass of the Cuban coffee and handed it to her. She stared at the coffee for a minute."I appreciate the gesture but I doubt this is going to do much for me."good Lord gave out a chuckle."Twilight trust me this is Cuban coffee any more than this and you'll be wired."He gave out a chuckle before Twilight downed the shot, unsurprisingly her face scrunched up. This was probably the most bitter thing she ever had."bleh! Why would you drink something so bitter!"Boomlord shrugged."honestly I only drink it for the caffeine. If it helps I think I have some orange juice in the fridge."Twilight just looked down rubbing her head . Not long after the other girls walked in each of them heading into the fridge grabbing various fruits mostly apples. Pinkie pie was the only one who grabbed something else, looks like she found the flan and was in heaven."oh my Celestia this tastes so good!"At least she wasn't breaking the fourth wall again.
2 After everyone ate they all headed to the living room again."ok girls this is it we are heading to the next world. Now before I go this mission is not meant to be dangerous however the world we're entering can be a bit chaotic so be prepared for anything."The rest of the girls nodded they likely had assumed as much from the previous conversations."so where are we going anyway"dash blurted out as boom pulled out his pen."yeah I'm with Dash partner id hate to go in blind."Aj took a step forward to make her point."we're going to a place called ooo I spent a lot of time there and it's the only place I can really say I have friends anymore...."booms voice got deep as a sorrowful look overtook his face for a minute. This was enough to make Applejack back off. Twilight in particular took a mental note of this.'guess friends are a touchy subject for him.' boom grabbed his notepad An drew another circle, in the center he wrote °adventure Time 1°as always the golden electrical ring formed with a blackened middle. Boomlord jumped into the portal and when he landed his feet were on solid ground. Solid green grassy ground. He surveyed the area around him noticing he was in a grassy clear field however the ends of what looks like old nuclear bombs stuck out overtaken by the grassy plains. The girls enter next each of them still in their same outfits however 4 of the girls had notable changes to them . Twilight and rarity each had a sword at their side. Twilight sword with a sleek and purple short sword with her cutie mark on the hilt. Rarity sword on the other hand looked as if it were made of blue crystal with a white metal hilt her cutie mark also on it. Fluttershy and rainbow Dash had also had the return of their wings which Dash took this opportunity to fly up into the air a bit doing a few loops and swirls."Hell yeah I missed this!"boom couldn't help but smile."Real fly girl up there."a few of them awkwardly smile."so where's our destination?"Twilight asked giving him a quick grin knowing that he's trying his best to make everyone feel better about being in a strange world."we're going to see princess bubblegum at the Candy Kingdom."and just like that he found himself lying on the ground being pinned by pinkie pie."DID YOU SAY CANDY KINGDOM! A KINGDOM MADE OF CANDY IS THIS PLACE PARADISE O.M.C O.M.C."Twilight practically had to pry pinky off of him ."yes the entire Kingdom from the trees to the ground is made of candy including the people."He started to brush himself off as pinky smile only widen."but please don't eat the Candy people or I will probably have to stop you"pinky reluctantly nodded.
3"rainbow do you mind taking an aerial view try to find the place that looks like it's surrounded by Pink cotton candy trees.... Well because it is surrounded by Pink cotton candy trees."boom called out before stopping looking at the ground a large Shadow now loomed over them. It was Spike. All the ponies turn to look back in both shock and horror. Spike mostly remain the same with one slight difference... He was absolutely Giant. His whole body in total was about the size of a two sorry house and his wings could probably cover all of them with ease."oh yeah I forgot dragons are huge here but at least he still looks different from them normally they're just Giant tube dragons with big ass butts."The ponies/girls stared for a moment but in silent agreement they chose not to address it not that Spike would mind he was too busy checking himself out."oh crap I'm HUGE you guys look so small from up here!" It was the most adorable giant grin in the world. Rainbow decided now was a good time to take him to the air as she being flapping her wings disappearing above the clouds. Surveying the land below she was able to make out what looks like pink trees and a large structure that looked somewhat like a castle."guess that must be what I'm looking for."she kept looking around noticing in One direction was a rather large tree that almost looks like it had Windows in it and in the opposite direction she noticed tall mountains made entirely of ice."heh heh heh what do we have here"a voice from nowhere stated in a malicious tone from behind her. Is she turned to look behind her she saw a giant monster with a bat like face and long blue limbs with crooked nails.'OH SHIT'at this point rainbow Dash started nose diving down towards her friends with the creature in pursuit who was maliciously chuckling the entire way down. The rest of the group saw the creature and the girls had various reactions. Applejack rarity and Twilight look like they were getting ready to fight with rarity and Twilight pulling out their swords. Fluttershy and Pinky had decided to stick near Spike who is now using his wings to shield them.Then there was boom standing out in the open as dash passed him and he just smiled. Apon seeing him the creature stopped a look of surprise on our face."hey Marceline it's been a while"the creature began to shrink taking on a human form she had pale white skin and incredibly long black hair which reached down to her feet a simple jacket and jeans and her ,guitar-axe strapef to her back and a nice big floopy hat which covered her in a shroud of darkness. She give out a wide smile revealing her fangs before wrapping her arms around boom giving him a hug."holy glob dude!your back it's been like 4 months!"he returned the embrace from his old friend as the rest of the girls started to calm down noticing that whatever that thing was it seemed friendly at least now it did."oh that's right."he turned to the girls and dragon."everyone this is my old friend Marceline... The vampire queen"a few of the girls jaw started to drop."your freinds with a literal blood sucking vampire?"Marceline shrugged at Twilight comment."actually it's just the color I'm after."Marceline started floating on her back around them."so boom what brings you and your new friends back to ooo."Boomlord got quiet."I found it Marcy.... I found the Rose fire and they're here because Twilight here"pointing at the slightly flustered purple pony girl."is the key to everything."Marceline stopped moving for a moment the words settling in her mind."oh we need to get to the Candy Kingdom right away then."then without word Marceline started floating off towards the direction of the Kingdom and boom followed along with the girls and the giant dragon...... Yeah that might be a problem.
4 After a few hours of walking they all managed to reach the candy kingdom with Spike deciding to hide in the trees to avoid unwanted attention. Pinkie pie look like she was about to go crazy or more crazy."o.m.c so m-much candy!"she was practically foaming at the mouth."look pinky just eat the sidewalk or something just please don't start eating random people I don't want to deal with any drama today especially because we need the princess's help."the pony started walking forward into the rather nice town and to boomlord credit every building and every person was made of candy, And many candies citizens passed by. Mr cupcake crunchy punch bowl guy."wow this is actually really fascinating I can't help but wonder what they're DNA is like how do candy people procreate do they need to breathe or eat its quite fascinating"Twilight then begin rambling about a whole bunch of science jargon that boom did not know but he found himself listening to every word she spoke it wasn't until arsenaline tapped his shoulder that he snapped out of his trance."I see you found a real good friend~"she whispered in a teasing tone."w-what no she's just um cool you know for someone who was a horse the other day."Marceline rolled her eyes."horse or not you always did have a thing for a Smart ones~."boom felt his blood pump. "Oh you're one to talk."Marceline then backed off she knew how far she could go before boom would made her regret it. After a while of walking the group then found themselves at the castle as a pink cared and pink skinned princess in a long pink dress noticed them."oh my! Boom you have returned and with.. many female companions huh"princess bubblegum gave a smirk."oh don't you start now too!" Boom was probably going to say more before pb gave him a warm hug."so I assume this has to do with the rose fire."bubblegum look down at him and while she kept a smile her face was full of worry."yeah Twilight here um it's kind of a long story."bubblegum nodded."it always is."about an hour had passed after this meeting and boom had explained to Marceline and bubblegum how we came to meet the girls and discover the fire leaving out the parts where he burned himself or threw a skillet at Twilight."interesting I'll probably have to run a few scans on Twilight then with her permission."Twilight nodded."good we'll start by using the rejuvenation tank to monitor your body and vitals while I conduct a few scans"boom notice that she was pointing to the large tank filled with water and knew that this meant that Twilight was going to have to strip down which he then took his cue to leave. "I'll be back soon gonna check on stuff."and before anyone could say anything he left the room.
(oh and before I forget I'll be opening asks for boomlord and Friends so if they appear in the story feel free to ask them a question ask box is officially open)

Rats, Squirrels, and Unlikely Friends
A quick oneshot in which Squirrel Girl travels to the DC universe and meets Ratcatcher II. Enjoy! :) @oh-its-jennyyy
Doreen knew she wasn’t supposed to be doing this. Stark Industries’ prototype wormhole generator was strictly off-limits to anyone but authorized staff, and that certainly did not include Doreen. She was a new hire, fresh out of college. She didn’t belong in top-secret labs, tampering with cutting-edge technology that could alter the fabric of space and time as we knew it. And yet, there she was, hacking into the “supposedly” un-hackable security system to check it out when no one was working on it. (She was slightly more skilled in the firewall breaching and data encryption area than her supervisors were aware.)
Every cell in her body screamed at her to stop. God, what was she thinking?! If anyone caught a glimpse of her doing this, she’d be fired on the spot. But whether it was her unending curiosity or her stubbornness to blame, she kept going. She just couldn’t help it; the whole concept of wormholes and interdimensional travel was so cool! She only wanted to see what the thing could do and how far they’d come... and hey, maybe if there were any areas for improvements that she could offer ideas on-
The device, a tall, silver arch, suddenly illuminated in a bright white haze, with its center forming some sort of black void. She must have somehow turned it on by accident.
“Ohhhh shit...” she grumbled.  
Frantically scrambling around to find an off-switch, Doreen quickly realized that there wasn’t one. In fact, there were no buttons or cord connectors on the device at all. Was it motion activated? Voice activated? Maybe thermally activated from body heat?
There was no time to find out. Before she could move or do anything, she felt her body pulled into the void, and everything went dark.
                                                       …
It took Doreen a while to fully process her surroundings when she regained consciousness. A bright light, that she assumed was the sun – or, at least, a sun, given that she was in a new universe – was shining in her eyes, and she had to blink a few times for her vision to adjust. She could feel hard gravel pressing on her protesting back, which begged her to sit up. When she did, she came face-to-face with a young woman posed in a defensive stance, ready to strike.  
Doreen took a moment to size up her potential assailant. The woman had a small stature, much like her, with short, dark hair, a dirty black coat, and, most bafflingly of all, a rat sitting on her shoulder, which didn’t seem to bother her in the slightest.  
“Who are you?” the woman demanded. She certainly had a bit of an accent, although Doreen couldn’t quite place what it was. Not that it would really matter, though; countries could be entirely different in this world, assuming that this even was another Earth in the first place.
Well, at least people in this universe could still speak English. That would make communication easy.
“Umm...” Doreen got out. “Would you believe me if I said I was from another universe?”
Before the woman could respond, they both jumped when they heard loud squeaking behind them. Doreen was shocked to see her three faithful companions, Monkey Joe, Tippy-Toe, and Mr. Liebermann, bounding to her side.
“Wh-? What are you three doing here?! Did you follow me?” Tippy-Toe nodded and gave an enthusiastic chirp as Doreen stroked her back. “Oh, you silly squirrels... You know you’re not supposed to come to work with me...”
The dark-haired woman, much to Doreen’s surprise, was looking at her not with disgust or judgment, but instead wide-eyed wonder and fascination.
“Are these your... friends?”
“Huh? Oh! I guess it would be rude to skip introductions. These are my pet squirrels, Monkey Joe, Tippy-Toe, and Mr. Liebermann.” Doreen stuck out her hand. “I’m Doreen Green.”
Reaching her hand out as well, the dark-haired woman tentatively shook it, apparently having decided that Doreen wasn’t a threat. “Cleo Cazo. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you, too! So, um... yeah... I guess you’re... wondering where I came from?”  
Cleo nodded.
“Well, so... the company I work for kind of built a wormhole generator that could transport people to alternate universes. And... I guess this place is one of them. Although, I actually wasn’t supposed to be messing with it. This was all a huge accident.” After a moment, she gave Cleo a sheepish grin. “I guess that must all be hard for you to believe, though...”
The rat on Cleo’s shoulder squeaked something into her ear, and she smiled. “No, it’s okay. Sebastian says you are telling the truth. He can sense that you are an honest and kind person!” The rat suddenly scurried to a patch of grass nearby to chew a dandelion off its stem and present it to Doreen. “Aww, look! He is offering you a flower as a token of his goodwill!”
Doreen giggled as she took the flower and put it in her hair. “Thank you, Sebastian! Would you like an almond?” Sebastian squeaked happily as she reached into her pocket and handed him his gift.
As Doreen stood up, Cleo was surprised to see a long, bushy tail extending from her backside. “Forgive me if this is a rude question, but... do all people in your universe have tails?”
“Oh, no. I’m actually the only one. I was born with altered DNA that made me part squirrel. They call me a mutant because of that. Do you have mutants here?”
Cleo shook her head. “I do not think so. I have heard of people born with altered DNA, but I have never heard the word ‘mutant’ used to describe them. Your powers are so cool, though! I wish I were part rat. But I don’t have any rat blood in me. I just communicate with them and tell them what to do.”
“That’s still pretty impressive! How do you do it?”
Cleo showed Doreen her rat-guiding light. “With this. My papa taught me how. He was the original Ratcatcher. When he passed away, I became his successor: Ratcatcher II.”
“That’s amazing!” Doreen smiled at Sebastian. “Do you mind if I pet him?”
“Not at all! Can I pet your squirrels?”
“Sure!”
The girls swapped rodents, with Cleo stroking Monkey Joe, Tippy-Toe, and Mr. Liebermann and Doreen scratching the head of a very happy Sebastian. After a moment of silent contemplation, Doreen spoke up again.  
“I’ve never... met anybody like me. I mean... someone who talks to small rodents. It’s a really underrated ability!”
“I know, right? Everyone always thinks I am weird or gross.”
“You know, I never got why people hate rats so much. They’re so cute and fluffy! I mean, sure, they eat garbage, but it’s not their fault! They don’t have anything else to eat! What else are they supposed to do?”
“That’s what I keep saying!”
“So... are countries still the same in this universe? Is this the U.S.?”
“Yes, we have a United States. And a Portugal. That’s where I am from. Does your universe have a Portugal?”
“Yep! It sounds like we have all the same countries! That’s a relief.”
“But this is not American soil. We are in the Hispanic nation of Corto Maltese.”
“Oh... I guess it’s a good thing I ran into you, then, instead of the natives. I don’t speak a lick of Spanish.”
“Neither do I. I don’t live here.”
“Then what are you doing here?”
Cleo pointed to what looked like the ruins of a tall building off in the distance. “Cleaning up that. The ruins of Jotunheim.”
“Jotunheim? You mean, like, the place where frost giants live?”
“What are ‘frost giants?’”
“Oh... you... don’t have those here? I have a friend who’s a frost giant, so I thought that’s what you were talking about.”
“Jotunheim was once a research laboratory. They used a giant alien starfish to conduct experiments with the creature’s mind control abilities. Many people died in the process, and the American government was behind all of it.”
“That’s horrible!”
“The government sent me with a team to cover it up. But when the monster got loose, we destroyed it instead. Now, we have to clean up the damage in the city. It is not as glamorous as saving the world, but no job is too menial for the Suicide Squad.”
“The ‘Suicide Squad?’ That’s what you guys call yourselves? That’s a pretty bleak name. See, I’m part of a team called The Avengers. Now, that’s a much better name."
“Well, it’s only a nickname. Our official codename is Task Force X.”
“You know, why does the letter X always make everything sound, like, ten times cooler? Like, ‘Task Force Y’ or ‘Task Force W’ just wouldn’t sound right, would it?”
Cleo giggled. “I guess not.” She handed the squirrels back to Doreen as Sebastian happily bounded back to her side.
“Well, this has been a real treat, but I should probably get back now,” Doreen laughed. “I don’t want to get-” She froze as she looked behind her, realizing that there was no wormhole device. “Oh... I... I don’t know how to get back... Oh no, this is bad...”
Cleo put a hand on her shoulder before she could start to panic. “Don’t worry! I’m sure my friends can help you figure something out! Let’s get you back to my teammates.”
The two walked down several blocks, where a tall man with heavy-duty armor and a walking shark were waiting for them. Cleo grinned at Doreen.
“Is seeing a giant shark with legs strange in your world?”
“Well, I’m friends with a talking tree and racoon, so, not really, to be honest.”
The tall man gave Doreen a weird look. She wasn’t sure if it was because of her tail or her last rather bizarre-sounding remark. Maybe both.  
“Who is this?” he asked.
Doreen cheerfully stuck out her hand. “My name’s Doreen Green, also known as Squirrel Girl! I’m from another universe!” She paused. “It’s kind of a long story. I also need help getting back home now.”
The tall man tentatively shook her hand. “Robert DuBois. Or Bloodsport. I guess we can get you down to the science people if you really want to come with us.���
Doreen took a moment to peer at him. “You know, it’s weird... You look just like this guy one of my friends used to know. Would you happen to be related to a guy called Heimdall at all? Guardian of Asgard? Watchman of the Gods? Is that ringing any bells?”
After staring blankly at her for a moment, Bloodsport turned to Cleo. “Is this girl on drugs?”
“Excuse me! I most certainly am not!” Doreen protested. “It’s strictly against company protocol to be under the influence of any substances during work hours! And I’m technically still working!”
The shark suddenly pointed at the squirrels. “Nom nom!”
Cleo sighed. “No, Nanaue, that’s not nom nom. Squirrels are friends. Just like rats.” She patted the shark’s back as he gave a dejected slump. “We’ll get you food when you get back.”
Out of nowhere, Doreen suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her body. Moving of their own will, her legs suddenly starting stumbling backwards. Her squirrels instantly jumped on her shoulder, ready to protect their human from any harm.
“Hey, where are you going?” Bloodsport called.
“I...” Doreen got out. “I think the device is pulling me back!”
“You’re leaving now?!” Cleo shouted.
“I can’t stop it!” Doreen grabbed onto Cleo’s hand in a last-ditch moment of desperation. “Cleo! Take good care of Sebastian! And don’t ever let anyone underestimate you! Trust me, I learned the hard way! People think we’re weak because they don’t understand us... But you’re stronger than you th-”
Before she could finish, she was gone.
                                                           …
Doreen collapsed on the ground, her heart racing at the familiar tile patterns. She knew this laboratory! She knew this building! She was back!
Her excitement quickly faded when she realized that return would mean consequences. Yep, she was definitely fired...
Except... there was still no one in the lab. No one had come back. Doreen checked the time. 2:15. She’d only been gone for 5 minutes! She looked around in awe at the silent room. All she would have to do now was sneak out. Had she really gotten away with it?
Slipping out the door and quietly returning to her workstation, she did her best to ignore her coworker’s questions about why she took a fairly lengthy bathroom break and whether she knew what they were supposed to be doing, instead giving them quick, uninvolved answers. Her mind was on Cleo and that strange, strange universe. It was so different, and yet... so similar to hers. The multiverse was certainly big and daunting, but no matter what people found in it in the future, no matter what research lied ahead, she knew it would always give her one source of comfort:
She’d found a friend that was just like her.

Will You Stay? (Zane Flynt x Timothy Lawrence)
Zane Flynt had been around for a long time. He’d seen all manners of peoples, had traveled to too many systems to count, and they always were the same. The heroes were heroes, the villains and scum were villains and scum. The only people who ever tugged at a heart he kept forgetting he had, were the begotten types.
The traumatized widows, the children with war-torn faces, the crippled who usually end up dead by days end. The people he could almost never help were the ones that kept him awake most nights.
Timothy Lawrence was just such a person. The poor lad not only had been stuck in a hellscape casino that Zane himself had worked on via the security systems, but he bore the face of the biggest monster in the galaxy. 
Pretty Boy and the last of his men had finally fallen, and the various gangs shuttered inside the casino were currently on the closest planet. Moxxi had plans to use them but was currently taking stock of what would soon be her domain, Amara and Moze escorting her. FL4K had long since retired to Sanctuary III, having found the casino much to his distaste.
Zane was in a room that had been converted to Casa de Timothy, boots resting up on a coffee table as he sat on the singular couch. It was late, well as much as Zoomer’s clock displayed, said drone lazily hovering around the room. The assassin could hardly care less, just tipping back his flask and regrettably draining the last of the liquid inside. It had taken over a month taking the casino over, and he was bloody well tired, idly wondering why in feck’s name he had signed up to go Vault Hunting one last time.
“Do you need anything to drink? O-or eat? Anything?”  Ah, that’s right. Tilting his head up, Zane’s ECHO-eye focused on the man hunched over a table a few feet away. Zane had met Timothy during his short tenure at working on casino security and had found the doppelganger a touch sweet. Never around the former monster of course, but they had shared a drink before Zane had gone off to his next job. To see him alive, whereas all the other doppelgangers were dead, gave Zane a glimmer of hope. Timothy seemed to feel the same, sticking to Zane like glue as he and the Vault Hunters planned their attack and takeover. Late nights saw them pouring over blueprints, Zane usually offered a drink or snack first before the others. Zane didn’t seem to mind, Moze and Amara catching him gathering up Timothy for sleep more than once, the operative having what they could almost say was a doting look on his face. 
Now Zane hung around with Timothy, usually playing guard to those who looked even a touch-ready to go at the other. As much as he wanted to leave, Timothy would still need to undergo a massive facial surgery that Tannis was preparing for, as the bomb wired to his jaw was still an ever-present danger. Clearing his throat, Zane motioned for the other to come close.
“Come now boyo, ‘nough worryin’ about yer plans.” He sees the way Timothy pauses, glancing down at the ECHO in his hands before carefully setting it down. The poor lad was writing out whatever his thoughts were before the surgery in a day's time, clearly worried about dying. Zane moves his arm, and Timothy sits beside the mercenary. He’s stiff at first but nestles into Zane’s side after he takes a quick look around the room. Neither had put a name on whatever it was they did when eyes weren’t looking, but Timothy didn’t want it to ever end.
“I can’t help it ya know? What if, what if it goes wrong? O-Or Tannis decides that killing me would make her feel better? O-Or what if…” Timothy feels the squeeze on his trembling hands, and he takes in a deep breath before slowly releasing it. 
“I’m goin’ ta be right there boyo.” Zane nuzzles his nose on the side of Timothy’s temple, earning a soft sigh as the other let his nervousness trail off.
“O-Of course you will be.” Zane wouldn’t lie to him, would he?
It doesn’t stop Timothy from worrying when tomorrow comes, and he is put under for the nearly 17-hour long surgery as the mask grafted to his face is taken off, and his jaw completely removed and replaced with a newly grown version from his own DNA. Having his bone marrow taken a week previously had been harrowing for the poor guy, and he dreamed of how attentive Zane had been during the two days of his recovery. The room he awakens in days later is unfamiliar, until Zoomer comes into view, a small ray of light trailing over the other before the robot lets out a beep. Timothy only lets out a feeble noise, the entirety of his lower face hurting terribly. It isn’t long before there is the whoosh of a door opening, and he can hear something be set down on the bed beside him. 
“Finally awake there eh?” It’s Zane, not that it would be anyone else, and Timothy’s heart flutters. Some pain relief is applied to his jaw via med-hypo, Timothy whimpering for a moment at the needle before he goes blissfully numb. “Ah yer such a good patient love.” He gets a small smile from the other, gently tucking some chestnut hair from that sweet face. Tannis had found a way to partially purge Handsome Jack’s DNA from the other, which hopefully would remove his murderous outbursts. For now, to see the pale face freed from its prison smiling up at him, Zane couldn’t help but feel happy for Timothy, moving to sit beside the other. Timothy slips back to sleep soon enough, and for the next week is unable to do much but rest and heal, Zane sometimes injecting him under Tannis’ strict observation. He isn’t sure why the scientist isn’t the one doing it, but when Zane is heard growling out at someone outside the door one day, he understands as the Irishman threatens a rather creative end.
“Zan..e.” It’s near the end of week two when Timothy braves speaking, the Vault Hunter looking up from his workstation at the name.
“Finally speakin’ are we boyo?” Zane grins, setting his soldering tool aside before walking over to the bed. Timothy gives a thumbs up, the act of smiling still a bit painful. He steels himself, motioning for Zane to lean down, the Vault Hunter shrugging before doing so. “What is it boyo?”
Zane isn’t expecting the hand going around his neck, placing his lips on Timothy’s. The lads’ lips are dry, for obvious reasons, and Zane just gives a small hum before returning the kiss. It’s very much not unwanted, and feeling the still healing scars stop the mercenary from turning the gesture passionate. Nervous fingers are tugging at the back of Zane’s neck, and he eventually pulls back to take hold of said hand. Timothy had the adorable habit of drumming out something if he was nervous, or perhaps excited, in this case.
“Breathe there boyo.” Zane chuckles, feeling Timothy’s fingers drum against his palm as he takes slow breaths. Timothy wants to smile, but knows his face would only regret the action, so keeps drumming away until the urge to smile passes. “Better?” Zane gets a nod, and the mercenary chuckles to himself before releasing Timothy’s hand, leaning down to start unlacing his boots. Those and his jacket are soon dropped beside the bed in a heap, the trained Hunter slipping himself into the bed beside Timothy. He adjusts to Timothy’s neck and head are supported, the former doppelganger's head resting on his upper chest, cybernetic arm resting over Zane’s stomach as he curls up right close.
“Are...w..e..a th..ing?” It’s a weak thing of a question, but Zane hears it as if Timothy had been shouting at him.
“I should say so boyo, have been for some time eh?” Zane watches as that pale face turns a rose color, and he can’t help but grin at the sight. “Aye, yer a cute one.” Timothy moves and gives Zane’s chest a light slap, wincing when the other’s laugh moves his head too much.
“Let’s fight another time yea? Don’t wanna hurt that wee pretty head.” Zane chuckles, and Timothy pouts before giving a small nod, moving his hand back in place. “There we are.” Timothy smiles to himself, and when he fades back into blissful sleep, this time it’s with the knowledge he won’t wake up alone and abandoned again.
No, neither he nor Zane wanted that, not anymore.

flawsome bandits pt. 11 ♡ sonic
Flawsome Tessering
Part 11, coming at you! This part doesn’t have too much Sonic x Y/n, but don’t worry my darlings, I am saving that for the next chapter ;) This one includes some mother-daughter relationships and tons of foreshadowing. Enjoy!
Warnings - slight angst, robotnik x stone mentions
♡♡♡
“Why so down, Sonic?” A man with a head as smooth as an eggshell asked his pet boulder as it sat next to him in his poorly repaired drone. The boulder had tiny little dents in its craters that were obviously created by Robotnik to form a dopey grin and two misshapen eye sockets. The man chortled to himself as he tapped the cracked glass where an electric blue quill sat, charging up his entire machine. “Aww, are you sad because I’m coming back home?”
Robotnik stared intently at the little boulder, watching as it practically began to sweat under his intense gaze. He finally sat back up and let out yet another loud chuckle, filling the silent air around him for miles. “Sorry to disappoint, bud, but you and your little girlfriend are going to be toast as soon as I wrap my hands around your puny little necks~” He sang out the last part, his time spent in isolation taking an immense toll on his sanity. His tethered and gloved hands expertly found their way across his very dented control panel, clicking on a bunch of buttons that ended up making the drone begin to whirr. The air surrounding him that reeked of fungus began to churn at the new winds. 
“Come on, baby,” Robotnik grumbled, pushing his prized invention to the limit as it began to levitate its misshapen and damaged body a couple feet off the ground. The engines worked in tandem with one another, struggling to compensate for the extreme damage that had been inflicted upon them. Even Robotnik’s expert repair jobs using the emergency kits Stone had made him place in every one of his drones wasn’t enough to make up for it all. 
He guessed Stone was right for once. Shocker.
The erratic energy being extracted from Sonic’s quill mingled with the artificial power he was able to save. As the drone began to sputter, he quickly grabbed onto the throttle in an attempt to steady the drone, even his hideously long mustache hairs twitching with anticipation. He had to do it. He had to make this work. He couldn’t stand another second trapped here with Mushroom Bertha, Mushroom Kick-Sonic’s-Ass, Mushroom Carl, and Mushroom I-Want-A-Hedgehog-Skin-Rug or IWAHS for short. After a couple of minutes spent in agonizing suspense, a little glimmer began to form in the air before him. A malicious grin made its way across his lips as he realized that his plan was working.
The energy coming from his drone was enough to cause a small rip in the universe, mostly due to Sonic’s alienated DNA and ability to tesser between universes. The tear grew a decent size wider, its edges glowing an abnormal white and a very faint image of what he presumed to be Green Hills glimmered within it. It was right there. He was going to make it! It was barely big enough for him to pass through, but it was all he needed. With a surge of energy and Robotnik practically gritting his teeth until they chipped, the drone shot through the portal in a flash of blinding light, crash landing onto a very mossy green ground. The impact made Robotnik slam his face against the throttle, but luckily his gigantic mustache hairs cushioned the blow. The drone slowly began to let off steam, already having used all of its juices to float for less than thirty minutes. A steady blow of steam began to shoot up into the air from one of the drones' important capsules, and Robotnik was quick to regain consciousness, standing up and practically falling back down into his seat from the excitement. He looked around the area, hoping taking over his entire internal chemistry as he looked at his surroundings. The hope died almost instantly as he came to a horrific conclusion.
This… this wasn’t Green Hills! 
What the actual fuck?!
There were oddly misshapen trees and abnormal creatures waddling around the perimeter and LOOP-DE-LOOPS?! The anger got the better of him as he picked up the boulder sitting next to him and screamed at the top of his lungs.
“God damnit, Sonic! This is all your fault!” And the tiny boulder was sent flying out of the drone to land against the grass, where it rolled down a hill.
It was safe from the evil man’s clutches at last.
Tumblr media
Robotnik let out another frustrated groan and slammed his fists down onto the dash, causing even more smoke to secrete from vital components of the drone. But he didn’t care right now. He had been working on building up all of that power for months. To have it all lost getting him somewhere that wasn’t even where he needed to be - where those goddamn hedgehogs were! And now he was stuck in this crazy backwards land with nothing to defend himself with. At least back with the mushrooms the only predator was sleep deprivation.
And of course, that was self inflicted.
“Oh thank god.” A sudden voice broke through his frustrations. Robotnik’s head snapped up so quickly he was sure he heard his neck crack. He was expecting the worst: three headed bear, snake crossed with a lizard, horse sized horsefly, something deadly and positively hideous. So when he saw a little black and red hedgehog staring at him intently with ruby irises and what looked to be a gun and a little bag situated around his hips, he was very, VERY surprised.
“Well, who the fuck are you supposed to be?” Robotnik couldn’t help but blurt. The hedgehog looked incredibly relieved as he came closer to the drone, showing his gloved hands in a means of presenting no harm.
“My name is Shadow. I was created by your assistant, Agent Stone.” Robotnik’s heart stopped at the sound of his name. “He sent me through the different universes to find you. It’s taken forever, but I finally did it. I have more rings left to get us back to the planet where Hedgehog Sonic and Hedgehog Y/n reside.” 
Robotnik was floored, to say the least. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Agent Stone, the little guy who made delicious lattes and who knew him better than anyone else, MADE a hedgehog and sent him to help Robotnik defeat the two once and for all? 
He owed him a thank you. Or maybe more than that, if you catch my drift ;)
“W-Well then, I suppose it’s nice to have you on board, Mr. Shadow. Unfortunately, my drone was a bit destroyed during the movement here, so unless you have a giant bag of tools next to your gun there, I-”
“Don’t worry, Sir, I’ve got it handled,” Shadow interrupted him, turning around to point into a throng of bushy trees. “I met an Echidna along the way who might be of use to us. Perhaps we could brainwash him into assisting us.” 
Damn. Agent Stone really did a number on this guy. Robotnik liked it. 
♡♡♡
A few hours later and a lot of impressive manipulation, Shadow and Robotnik had recruited yet another member onto their team: Knuckles the Echidna. He was a very burly red thing with intimidating eyes and an unfortunate lack of brains. But, he had resources and his muscle could even out Robotnik’s brains and Shadow’s apparent fiery temper. They were able to convince him that Y/n and Sonic were two beings from a far away planet that were power hungry and had a plot to destroy the entire universe, including this planet. Of course, Knuckles was petrified and said that they must be stopped immediately. The guy was also pretty handy with supplying the needed instruments to fix up Robotnik’s drone. 
Of course, it wasn’t the best job, but it would have to do for now. After Robotnik had done his little patch job, the trio were beginning to prep for their return to earth.
“I assume that you are very excited to defeat the two hedgehogs, Doctor,” Shadow spoke with authority. “But I think it would be better to hide out in a secluded spot for a little while in order for us to build up our resources. We wouldn’t want to go straight into battle without being prepared.” 
Even though Robotnik was really looking forward to crushing Bonnie and Clyde, he had to admit that Shadow had a point. He nodded slowly. “We’ll hide out in the woods in order to gather resources and start the formation of Metal Sonic. Agreed? Agreed.” Even though he wasn’t looking for a confirmation, the two nodded despite. Everything was going according to plan. Robotnik had gathered two allies and had already begun his plan to form a metal-based version of Sonic. For two reasons, really. The first was to use Sonic’s greatest power and turn it into his weakness, and the second was to try and trick Y/n into not being able to fight the one that she loves. They were going to destroy the two hedgehogs once and for good, donating their bodies to Robotnik’s favorite charity: science.
But what these little twerps didn’t know was that a certain fox had been spying on the three of them ever since Robotnik had crash landed a couple feet away from his lab. It was finely secluded within the weeping willow trees, so he hadn’t been able to see it. But his security measures sure saw the mustache guy.
Tumblr media
The little fox’s stomach began to fill with dread as he thought about all of this. These guys were obviously up to no good. Anyone who loved the color combo red and black was obviously up to no good. Especially someone who grew their mustache past five inches. 
On each side.
Those two hedgehogs they had been mentioning… What were their names? Bonnie and Clyde? Funny named for hedgehogs, but he guessed that their world was different than his. He began to rummage through the different gizmos and gadgets he had spent ages on until he finally gathered all of the materials he needed. His little gloved fingers found their way to his energy-tracker as he calibrated it to their energy sources. Funny, he thought. One of them was stronger than the other. 
He narrowed his eyes in determination, steadying himself as he thought of the realm they lived in and tossed one of his golden rings. The second the portal opened, he jumped through, landing on what appeared to be a cliff looking over a small town. Relief filled his orangish-yellow chest as he looked across. He hoped he knew what he was doing. 
Extending his two tails, he leapt off the cliff.
♡♡♡
“M-Mom?” Maddie stirred in her sleep. 
“Mommy?” 
The young mother’s eyes slowly opened to be greeted with the sight of her daughter who had tears streaming down her cheeks. The sight of her daughter in distress kicked all of the sleep out of her as she instantly shot up in bed and immediately started wiping away the tears. Most of them got brushed into the fur around her eyes, but she didn’t care.
“N/n, baby, what’s wrong?” She asked softly, trying her best not to wake up her husband who still lay sound asleep behind her. Y/n only continued to cry harder, her e/c eyes glowing in the dark.
“I-I’m sorry, Mommy. I-I didn’t w-want to see i-it, I-” Maddie gently shushed her, standing on her feet and expertly lifting up the frail hedgehog onto her hip, holding her like she was a toddler. 
“Y/n, honey, you’re not making any sense.” She glanced over at the clock and realized it was barely five in the morning. What on earth was she doing up this late? Y/n was in such hysterics that all she was able to do was plant her face into Maddie’s shoulder and continue to cry, her chest feeling like a million daggers were being dug into it. Maddie’s heart was ripping at the seams for her daughter, as the last time she had seen her this upset was when Sonic had died. She quickly and quietly took the weeping hedgehog out of her room, making sure not to make a sound as she closed the door to leave her sleeping husband alone, and continued through the darkened halls until they made it to the main bathroom. She closed the door behind them and set the hedgehog onto the counter, grabbing a wad of tissues and quickly dabbing her eyes while Y/n wrapped her arms around her trembling torso.
“I-I’m s-sorry-” She hiccuped, choking on the mucus being created from her tears. Maddie’s gaze softened.
“Sweetie, what on earth could you have to be sorry for?” To her surprise, Y/n’s eyes only filled with guilt and self-disgust as she looked down at the floor. 
“...what happened?” Maddie gently cupped her daughter’s furry face in her hands and stared into her liquid e/c eyes. The deeper she looked into them, the more she was able to picture Y/n before she had turned into a hedgehog, back when she was a human. The little hedgehog exhaled a shaky breath and wrung her hands together.
“I… I woke up to singing. And I followed it outside, and there was this… thing out there. It was calling to me, and when I touched it, this is going to sound insane, but it showed me pictures of the future. I-I saw Robotnik, and I saw me and Sonic with two other people and then… the last one… M-Mommy, it looked like someone was trying to k-kill me-” Maddie’s heart stopped in her chest, her eyes widening in horror. Fresh tears began to spill down Y/n’s cheeks even faster. “I-I don’t want to die!”
Maddie quickly enveloped her in a tight hug, pressing her daughter’s head into her chest and stroking her quills gently. “Shh, it’s okay, baby. You’re not going to die.”
“H-how do you k-know that? M-my powers are growing a-and I don’t know how to s-stop it, I don’t want to kn-know how we’re going to d-die, I-” 
Maddie hushed her, continuing to stroke her quills. They sat like this for quite some time, with Maddie consoling her hysterical daughter until her sobs finally died down and were replaced with melancholic sniffles. Maddie’s heart continued to pound, however, fear and confusion coursing through her veins. She was trying with all her might to wrap her brain around the matter, but she was the one who had had the worst time figuring out how Sonic and Y/n’s powers worked in tandem with one another. Even Tom relatively understood better than she could. She knew that Y/n had vocal telekinesis, but seeing the future? Little wisp-like creatures? It didn’t seem like those had ever been mentioned or used before. 
What was going on? Was her daughter truly in danger?
Her grip around her tightened. Y/n exhaled softly and it was then that Maddie realized she had fallen asleep. A small smile crossed her lips as she picked her daughter back up and began to make her way back into the living room. She could have just taken her to her bedroom, but in all honesty, she felt safer leaving her with Sonic than by herself. As she walked through the darkened hallways, she tried to silence the red alarms blaring endlessly throughout her mind. 
Something was wrong.
She could feel it. She didn’t even need magical powers to feel it. Her breath hitched in her throat as she made her way down the stairs, making sure not to trip as she entered the living room. Sonic still lay sound asleep on the couch, not having moved an inch since Y/n had woken up. Maddie gently set her daughter down on the couch, resting her head on Sonic’s chest and covering the two with a fleece blanket. Her fingers softly traced Y/n’s jawline as she slowly stood back up, a small, yet sad, smile staying on her lips.
“Don’t worry, sweetie,” she whispered into the silence. “I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Everyone Loves Hermione Chapter 2
Hey guys! Here’s chapter 2 of “Everyone Loves Hermione”! Glad you guys liked the first chapter.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Harry Potter.
-------------
Chapter Two:
It took a lot of stun Draco Malfoy. He was a wizard of noble blood, and therefore was taught composure was everything. His parents worked hard on drilling that into him since the day he was born. Always hold your head high, don’t let the those who are jealous or scornful get to you. If they do, be sure to make them feel lower than they already are. He’s lived by that creed since birth—he was not just a child. He was the future head of the Malfoy family—he would act like it.
Then a random girl comes running along and grabs him roughly, and Draco’s left flabbergasted at her pulling him along. They hide behind a wall in an alleyway, the girl checking for any pursuers while Draco just blinks at her before narrowing his eyes. She must be some crazy fangirl trying to get him to be her friend for his name. That happened from time to time, though none have ever been this bold as to actually manhandle him.
Perhaps he should’ve stuck with his parents after all. Diagon Alley was quite crowded since the new school year coming up. It would be Draco’s first year at Hogwarts, and he wouldn’t disappoint his family.
“Are you insane?!” Draco exclaimed at her. The girl turned, blinking at him. “I’m sure you think you’re smart, aren’t you? Well I’m not giving you any money and my father will be sure to put you in Azkaban for grabbing me like that!” he threatened.
The girl gave him a look, furrowing her brow as he went off on her. It only served to make him angrier. Was she inept or something?
“Do you understand me? My Father—ack!” she surprised him yet again, as the girl shot out a hand and her fingers clamped down on his nose, and his shoutings turned nasally. She grinned.
“That’s better. Now you know exactly how funny you sound shouting like that.” She laughed. Draco glared at her. “Sorry for the manhandling. It’s just my cargo has snuck into your bag while we were trying to escape, so I had to kidnap you or else they’d get him back.”
“Cargo?” Draco raised an eyebrow. The girl grinned, gesturing to his bag, which now that he noticed, had a distinct lump in it. He warily opened the bag, and was surprised to see a huge, orange fluff staring back at him peevishly. He made a face. “What kind of ugly creature is this?!”
The girl clamped on his nose again from the offense. Draco yelped.
“This is Crookshanks, and I was trying to sneak him out of the pet shop because he was being mistreated, but he decided to hide in your bag before I could get him in mine. When you left, I ran after you so I could get him back.” The girl explained. “Now, apologize to him!” she ordered.
Draco glared. How dare this girl order him around! Does she not know who he was? Yet, a part of him felt curious. He’s never had someone speak so freely to him before. All the people his age always fawned to everything he said. This was the first time someone acted like they weren’t afraid of his father’s wraith.
“I’m sorry.” He said to the monstrosity. The thing meowed in satisfaction. Draco narrowed his eyes. The creature was enjoying this.
Before he could scold the thing, the girl let him go, and Draco was stunned at her bright smile. It was so carefree and innocent, and he could find no deceit or underlining motive. She came closer  to him, and Draco was flustered when the bushy-haired girl was close enough he could smell her shampoo. It was a nice vanilla scent, not overpowering like some of the girls liked to do with their perfumes, and he wanted to smell it more.
“Come here, you naughty Crookshanks!” the girl cooed, oblivious to Draco’s thoughts. The creature meowed in delight, as the girl picked him up and held him close. Draco glared at the thing purring in her arms, wishing that was him. His eyes widened when he realized what he thought, and his cheeks flushed brightly. “Anyway, thank you so much in assisting, even if you didn’t realize it!” the girl thanked him. She held out a hand for him to shake. “I’m Hermione! Let me get you something to thank you!”
“Errrr Draco…” he said, not revealing his last name. He found himself enjoying her interactions with him, as if he was normal, and it made him reluctant to change that. He took her hand and the contact of hers was warm, making Draco grin despite himself.
“Well then, come this way! I’m sure there’s some food around here!” Hermione began to lead him away, and Draco didn’t dare pull his hand from hers. It was too pleasant, and he couldn’t remember a time when someone was so openly affectionate with him. Hermione clutched Crookshanks in her other arm, who was busying himself with cuddling against her. It made Draco wonder if her hugs were as good as her hand holding but was too proud to ask her for a hug. He would not get hung up on a measly girl. She obviously wasn’t a beauty with her bushy hair and buck teeth. He knew she was beneath him—her lower quality of robes showed that.
Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to leave her just yet…
“Here’s some pastries!” Hermione announced excitedly. She went towards the stall, taking out some money to get him something. She looked a little confused, as if she never seen any of the desserts before, so Draco helped her by selecting a cauldron cake. She also purchased one for herself. They found a bench to sit at, and both of them ate in contented silence.
“I hope this is okay! I’m not usually allowed to have a lot of sweets.” Hermione sheepishly said. Draco waved her off.
“It’s fine. Cauldron cakes are good.” He reassured her, and he wondered where his kindness was coming from. Though she had went out of her way to thank him, so he argued it was okay to be nice, ignoring the voice in his head saying he was being nice cause he wanted to and not because he was obligated. Hermione gave him a sunny smile, and Draco couldn’t help but grin back.
“That’s a relief! My parents are dentists so they’re very strict on my diet. Wizarding pastries are even more foreign to me than regular ones.” Hermione explained. Draco felt his mind come to a screeching halt. Oh no… she was…
“Y-You’re muggleborn?” Draco spluttered. He was mortified. He let a mudblood be familiar with him! Looking at her closely, he saw her wearing muggle clothes under her cloak, confirming his suspicions. Hermione gave him a look of confusion.
“Yeah. My parents are muggles. Why? Is that a problem?” she was curious. Draco glared at her, wanting to trash the cauldron cake she touched when she gave it to him.
“You have dirty blood! Of course, it’s a problem.” Draco told her. Hermione’s eyes narrowed.
“Why do I have dirty blood?” she asked annoyed. Draco sighed in exasperation.
“Cause your parents are muggle! So that makes you dirty!” Draco argued. Hermione wasn’t amused.
“Did you test that theory? Did you scan a muggleborn’s blood and it came out more unhealthy?” Hermione quizzed him. Draco blinked. What was she talking about?
“W-What do you mean?” he demanded. Hermione sighed.
“I mean, did you actually take a muggleborn’s blood and compare it to other wizards who have magical parents? How else would you know if it’s really unhealthier otherwise? Did you look at genetics or DNA in a muggleborn and line it up with a pureblood or half-blood? Where is the science behind this?” Hermione questioned calmly. Draco blinked.
“W-well, no, no one’s ever done that…” Draco admitted, starting to feel stupid. Hermione gave him an amused smirk.
“So, if it’s never been tested, how do you know?” she repeated her question, still giving that amused expression. Draco blushed, despite himself.
“Well, I mean, I’ve always been told…” he tried to salvage the argument, but Hermione wasn’t going to let him preserve his pride.
“So, you just blindly believed someone who has no proof themselves?” she continued. “When you think about it, didn’t the first magical families also have muggle parents? The magic would’ve had to begin somewhere. It wasn’t always there or can you actually trace back magical lines to the dawn of humankind? Can you prove magic was always there?”
Draco felt really stupid the more she asked things. He never thought of those things. He just blindly believed his father and mother when they would tell him he was better than other wizards because he was pure-blooded, but listening to Hermione made him realize that perhaps he was talking out of his arse after all…
“When you put it like that, no actually.” Draco confessed, embarrassed at his behavior when she cut through his ideals like it was paper. Hermione smiled at him apologetically.
“Sorry for being harsh. It’s just that if there’s no research, it really sounds like a bunch of horseshit.” She told him bluntly. She then gasped, blushing. “Don’t tell my parents I swore, okay? They’ll make me wash my mouth with soap!” Hermione panicked. Draco felt himself wanting to laugh.
“I won’t tell.” He promised, chuckling, looking at her fondly. Hermione sighed in relief.
“Thank goodness!” Hermione breathed, placing a hand against her chest to calm her anxiety.
“Hey, Hermione?” Draco called. Hermione glanced at him curiously. “Are you going to Hogwarts?” he wanted to know if he would ever see her again. He prayed he would.
“Yes! I read all of Hogwarts: A History over and over many times! I’m so excited!” her answered filled Draco with happiness. She then gazed down at her watch, giving out an adorable squeak. “Oh! I have to go! My parents are waiting for me! See ya, Draco!” Hermione bid him farewell, clutching the giant Crookshanks to her small body. The fluff gave Draco a parting meow. He watched her until she disappeared into the crowd, a contemplative expression on his face.
“There you are, Draco.” His father greeted him. “Did you find a suitable owl?”
“I actually found a hawk we could purchase, yes.” Draco responded. He turned to his father with a pensive expression. “Father, how do we know muggleborns’ bloods are dirty?”
“Don’t be silly, Draco, of course they’re dirty! They aren’t from a magical line.” His father sneered, but Draco wasn’t deterred.
“Yeah, but have we ever actually studied that? How do we actually know they’re inferior besides parentage?” Draco continued, determined to get an answer. Lucius frowned.
“What are you talking about, Draco? It’s obvious. We don’t need to study it. We are purebloods and therefore automatically better.” Lucius lectured. Draco didn’t look convinced, and it made Lucius hiss. “Remember who we are, Draco! Don’t go sympathizing with commoners!”
“Sure.” Draco said, but Lucius could tell he wasn’t convinced. Lucius turned away, beckoning Draco to follow.
“Let’s get this hawk now, Draco. This place is polluting your mind.”
Draco followed, his thoughts full of Hermione and her words. She had been right after all.
He couldn’t wait to see her again and have her prove what else he believed to be wrong.

There is chapter 2! Ron’s and his and hermione’s bromance begins next chapter!

Blind Suspicion
(A Never Again missing scene / AU) Part 3
Mulder had tossed fitfully most of the night. He’d tried Scully’s hotel room 5 or 6 - more like a dozen times with no answer. Where was she? Was she okay? Was she injured? Was she de…? No don’t go there… was she really on a date? Was what happened in the dark corner of the basement meaningless?
He arrived at the office hoping she’d be there and proceeded to putter around the office not accomplishing anything. The phone rang and he rushed to grab it hoping it was Scully, but all he got was a dial tone. He started calling the hotel every 15 minutes and always got the same answer… no answer.
Around 9:30a.m. the phone rang and he grabbed it not wanting to chance missing the call if it was Scully. Finally it was, Thank God.
“Mulder.”
“Mulder, it’s me.”
“Scully, where have you been I’ve been calling you.”
Scully sighs, “Mulder just listen… I need you to come to Philadelphia and pick up my things from the hotel room - I’m going to be stuck here at the Philly PD for awhile giving my statement.”
“Philly PD! Scully what?....I .. Jesus - Scully…?”
“I don’t feel like talking about it right now, Mulder. Can you please just do this for me no questions asked and meet me here? Please?”
She sounded tired, he wondered if she was hurt - had he put her in danger? Had something happened? “Ok Scully. I’ll be there as soon as I can.”
Of course before he left he logged into the Philly PD database and searched for her name. A casefile number came up, with very preliminary details. Mulder scanned through the information quickly. Suspected Murder, Blood Types - O & A Suspect - Jerse, Edward? Who the hell was Ed Jerse? Possible sexual assault victim? Dana Scully? Witness? Suspect taken into custody burns on upper arm….
Possible sexual assault the print seemed to grow larger and smaller before his eyes. NO! No no no no… not Scully, not Scully. Please not Scully.
A driver’s license slowly appeared now he had a face to go with the name. Mulder pressed the print button on the keyboard. He felt like sweeping everything off his desk, needing to hear the crash, glass breaking items flying. He wanted to scream with rage, but he didn’t.
Mulder stood so fast his chair went rolling backwards and slammed into the cabinets behind him, he didn’t care. His only thought was of Scully. He stalked to the printer Ed Jerse’s likeness staring mockingly up at him. With the B&W print out fisted in his hand, Mulder grabbed his keys and moved quickly out of the office.
Philadelphia 11:20 am
Mulder was fortunate to be just in time for the 10:00am express flight. The plane had made good time and had landed 10min. early. He’d pre-arranged in flight for a rental and was already on the way to the hotel to check Scully out of her room and get her belongings.
The whole flight and drive those words: Sexual Assault ran through his mind, he could see them; they had weight and substance - it was like a huge glaring Neon light. Sexual Assault.
Flashes of images, sounds circled his thoughts some real, some imagined. Her voice on his answering machine “Mulder! I need your help!” Scully hands tied bruised and battered after being kidnapped by Donnie Pfaster. Scully her small wrists held by a mans larger one, screaming as her blouse is torn open. “I’m fine, Mulder,” her standard reply when he knew she was anything but.
Scully slammed against a wall, head rebounding from the force. Blurry indistinct images of a struggling female body, panties roughly ripped away. A man’s body spreading her legs covering her a quick thrusting motion and screaming, screaming, screaming until a hand muffles the sound. Nothing but whimpers echoing into silence.
Oh Jesus! He’d done that - he’d done that, muffled her screams.
Mulder bolted from the airplane seat barely managing to make it to the cramped planes lavatory before throwing up until there was nothing left in his stomach. Dry heaves continued for several minutes until they finally stopped. He flushed the waste, rinsed his mouth thoroughly and splashed water on his face before feeling steady enough to make it back to his seat.
An observant flight attendant handed him a Ginger Ale and a pack of Saltines. “We’ll be landing soon, Sir. This may help.” He gave her a small nod and thanks, but he couldn’t bring himself to smile.
It didn’t take long to gather Scully’s things from the Hotel room and pay the bill. He put everything in the trunk and got back into the car. Ed Jerse’s face continued to stare at him from the passenger seat. Beating the shit out of the guy wouldn’t be enough for what he’d done to Scully - no not nearly. Somehow Mulder was planning on killing the son of a bitch.
Mulder made it to the precinct at 12:05pm striding purposefully through the doors and up to the front desk - every bit the take charge G-Man he could be - when he needed to - he could command the room. He was a born leader - he just didn’t know it.
“I’m Special Agent Fox Mulder and I’m looking for my partner Special Agent Dana Scully - she told me to meet her here.”
The officer gave a little grunt and motioned back the left hallway. “She’s in Det. Gouveia’s office 3rd door on your right.”
Nodding Mulder made his way down the Hallway he could hear her voice and when he got to the doorway he felt like he was going to collapse. She looked so tiny, cuts and scrapes on her face and hands, it looked like she’d slept in her clothes torn, dirty and wrinkled.
Her FUCKING clothes were torn. Her eyes were so watery… she was looking at him warily. Was she frightened of him? Please don’t be scared, of me Scully - I, I would never… not like… this...
Oh! It suddenly dawned on him, they must not have done a rape kit yet - that must be why.
It was Scully she would want to don her armor in her own clothes after, not a sterile hospital gown.  “Mulder?” Scully gasped and swallowed. “This is my partner Special Agent Fox Mulder. Mulder these are Detectives Gouveia and Smith.”
Mulder stepped into the room and shook hands with the two detectives. “Thank you for coming Mulder… I’ll be right back I need to use the …”
She stood and Mulder reached out to touch her then drew his hand back, “Scully, umm should you do that, I mean… not until…” He leaned in slightly and lowered his voice. “What about a rape kit? I know you know any DNA evidence collected - how important it would be for the trial - so the animal that did this to you can be put away and it can never happen to anyone else.”
Mulder said one thing, but had already vowed to take the law into his own hands.
“I wasn’t raped, Mulder...why would you think?” Scully’s eyes widen, she tries to be angry, but she’s just tired, and achy - the tattoo, her skin is burning and her head feels like it’s going to bust open any minute. She knows she would have done the same thing forearmed is forewarned and all that.
Mulder let out the breath he’d been holding she hadn’t been raped.
She hadn’t been raped.
He couldn’t smile, couldn’t ask the hundreds of questions he had - she hadn’t been raped that’s a good thing, a very good thing. Why didn’t that make him feel any better she’d clearly been beaten up. He knew his eyes held all the questions he wanted to ask - she had to see. The most important was, ‘What happened to you, Scully?’
“I’ll be right back.” Scully brushed his hand with hers as she stepped by him.
Both detectives had been silent during Mulder and Scully’s exchange, observing the dynamic of their partnership. Mulder hadn’t schooled his expressions very well and the detectives looked at each other knowing Agents Mulder and Scully had more than a simple partnership going on. Both wondered what Agent Mulder would think when he read the casefile and found out his partner had been at the suspects apartment and the report reflected they interviewed her wearing a man’s dress shirt.
Cheating was the one word that came to both of their minds.
Mulder wouldn’t get to read the report for several more hours. Scully had returned and was in the doorway, she looked even paler than before. “Mulder?” her voice was weak. “Something’s wrong…”
All three men saw it happen her eyes rolled up and she collapsed, Mulder caught her before she hit the ground cradling her in his arms, he swept her up and laid her on the lounge against the wall of the office. His hands flutter around her lighting here and there, checking the pulse at her wrist, she seemed to be breathing fine, he couldn’t really do anything else at the moment.
He finally registered the detectives speaking to him. “Agent Mulder an ambulance is on the way.” Mulder nodded in thanks. He kept looking at Scully and when he heard the sirens he picked her up and carried her out the doors of the precinct to the awaiting ambulance and gently placed her on the gurney.
Some videos and pictures were taken that day the video aired on a local news network. It made many a woman’s heart swoon watching a man so carefully carrying an unconscious woman with red hair down the steps to an ambulance, so strong, manly. Those watching would say it was the way he cradled her looking into her face which rested against his shoulder and neck, he even nuzzled her hair with his cheek - the look of a man in love and anguish -  it was plain to see.
The photos were more covert. Snapping, snapping over and over more ammunition to possibly use one day.
I though there would only be 3 parts to this series and I find myself looking at 4 instead - Part 4 to end it all. Then I don’t have to watch this episode again - ever. Huge shoutout to @cultureisdarkbeer for the speedy once over. To everyone who has followed I hope this section doesn’t disappoint.

Note
well. that was it.
**spoilers for prompocalypse  part 2**
Y'all this is it. The end-end. The last recap, at least for Fantasy High.
I honestly could have gotten this up yesterday but I wanted to give myself a hot sec before it was really over. 
But, no way out but through. Let’s get to it. 
We start back up right where we left off with no break in between. Cast still freaking, Brennan still gaping. 
“What the Fuck.” –Brennan 2019
Anyway, Kristen once again appears in corn heaven and she’s very not chill about it. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. On the plus side, she runs into Doreen in heaven who is young and hot again (which I’m sure Fig would appreciate knowing) and also apologizes for her traumatizing speech to Adaine during her death.
Helio playing beer pong. I wonder if that was always a facet of his personality or if Brennan just decided to yes-and all of Ally’s suggestions of him being a frat bro.
The angels being like, “Please be nice to God. He’s our dad,” was kinda adorable. 
“Why are you dressed like a weird stripper?”/“It’s too hot in here. He’s the sun!”
So while the gang has been living out Breakfast Club + Stranger Things, Aguefort has been Weekend and Bernie’s-ing Heaven apparently. I want to say wild, but tbh that’s pretty on brand for him. The wild part is that he was able to knock out GOD. Like, how even?
Aguefort tells Kristen that Sol is one god of many and she says, “Cool, I always thought that,” as if this is new information but, living in a D&D world, shouldn’t she definitively know that already? Like, the gods in fantasy worlds are pretty blatant about letting their presence be known and there are clerics/paladins who aren’t Heleoic but still have powers. 
OK I have a bone to pick with Ms. Kristen Applebees. You get a chance to talk to the primordial source of all divine power and magic and you (1) ask who you’re allowed to bone and (2) create a TERRIBLE god. Just truly TRASH. She created a reaction gif god. It’s not even a physical representation of the concept. Like, I thought she meant something like Yass from Wreck it Ralph 2 but no. Just a literal Yes! Like, you can trash talk Helio when you come up with something better, girl. Also, wild that you can just…walk into a room and do that. Like you have to knock out Sol first but still. Wild.
“You’ve created a new deity and already you’re fed up with it. I would say that’s par for the course.”
I low key thought Kristen was going to get the option to deify herself. I think because I had just rewatched The Gamers: Dorkness Rising and that figures in to the plot. But, thinking about it, she wouldn’t have gone for that I don’t think.
Aguefort flipping out at Kristen saying that friendship is the greatest magic of all, and rightfully so. That’s BS.
Since when does Kristen have dog tags?
Anyway, as we all suspected, the chronomancy line from episode 1 wasn’t a random line of dialogue, it was a chekhov’s gun. 
I mentioned this in an earlier post. Brennan didn’t seem too concerned that the party was wiping and I think this is why. I think he had two paths for this fight to take. In one, Riz successfully rolled for police and like 6 helpful NPCs plus his mom show up. That’s enough to beat the dragon without dying and Aguefort shows up having Die Hard-ed his way out of heaven. In the other, Kristen dies, goes to heaven, and basically that same series of events happens. Chronomancy saves the day. I think he was shocked because the roll dovetailed so perfectly with the story beat. 
“Is Arthur Aguefort black? Hell yes. My brotha.” Gonna be honest, I basically had that same reaction when they showed his character portrait in ep 1.
Kristen and Arthur jump back into the battle and Arthur gets possessed by Mr. Gibbons. I guess he’s just been hanging around as a ghost this whole time? Because this seems to lend credence to the theory that that’s who possessed Fig in the arcade but didn’t we see him go to the afterlife (which, I have a question about that too later). But I feel like that must have been Brennan’s way of sidelining him for the fight so they didn’t have like a level 20 wizard making it too easy.
“Oh, and Jawbone!” Murph loses it. 
Jawbone stuck in Goldenhoard’s mouth like that meme of the dog smiling, stuck in a fence.
Gorthalax is like, “I don’t feel great sleeping next to this dude.” Fig meanwhile is all, “I wanna sleep between his legs.” She says this at least twice. 
So everyone just have a freaking picnic and takes a nap in the middle of this fight. Can’t say I saw that coming exactly.
Fabian tries to stab Dayne, who is already dead, during the time stop.
“What the fuck do they teach you at this school?”
“Are you talking about the time thing or–”/“Yeah Gorgug! The time thing!.”
“We’re gonna kill this motherfucker, sweetie.”
I love Sklonda so much.
Jawbone is a salad guy.
OK so I know people were shipping Sklonda and Gilear and it was like, “But how would that work with the height difference?” so Brennan, the absolute madman, decides to pair her with the GIANT DEMON???
Adaine about Gilear: Cucked again.
Everyone treating the DRAGON like a JUNGLE GYM.
“It’s basically Jeb Bush’s Campaign.” Ally, with the fury of 1000 suns: EXCUSE ME?
“I bless, [Riz], your mom, and [Fabian.] Are you the only ones with vendettas?”
“I think we’re all pretty blessed.” Gorgug/Zac is so good.
Adaine, who has all the wisdom and intelligence points of the entire party at the moment: You need to stay safe because the reason that we died is that you died. 
The shot that shows everyone on the giant dragon and then the foreground fuzzes out and shows Adaine a safe distance away in the background is hilarious. 
Ice guitar pick. Sweet.
Yeah, Siobhan really shoulda got healing potions out of her jacket, not the freaking wand. Hilarious. The only thing helpful about that was it hinted he was vulnerable to frost damage which they could have guessed. 
I wonder what Brennan had in his notes about the freaking city in Adaine’s jacket. It’s wild they weren’t more curious about that.
I low key loved Emily buffing Murph the whole fight.
“Hell yes Sklonda!”
Ragh: Giving a gay pride speech./Adaine, who doesn’t want to get knocked out again: STAB HIM IN THE DICK DUDE.
And, speaking of, OWWW.
Fig shapeshifting to Dayne. The hell Emily!
And another eye gouging.
Fabian is incapable of doing a single thing without doing some ridiculous parkour stunt first. 
Kristen,not twenty minutes after Riz said it would be crazy to go inside the dragon: Can I climb inside the dragon’s mouth? (Adaine: KRISTEN!)
Gorgug saving Skonda and Riz going, “Thanks for saving my mom!” from across the room.
Brennan is narrating the epic final battle and what cool thing everyone is doing and Kristen is just being digested. 
Riz was my second choice for the coup de grace until it turned out that Kal ate his dad and then he was my first choice. Riz!!!!
What a badass moment for him. The image of him casting a shadow on the wall is super dope.
Everyone flipping off Kal as he dies.
Riz and Sklonda are making dragon casserole bay-bee! 
MURPH FAILS WITH BARDIC INSPIRATION AND BLESS AT A 12 DC.
Aguefort. What a chaos monster.
“I fucked that bird! It is my paramour!”
Hold up, hold up, hold up. Did Kristen’s freaking Yes god kick Sol out of his own freaking heaven? WHAT?
I love that what Adaine got out of this experience was, “Wait, so my powers are bullshit?”
“Everything in this world is bullshit, Ms. Abernant.” Preach.
“So is the sun just a yes now?”/“Maybe.”
Literally 6 cop NPCs. Like they all seem like they’re morons but I’m sure it would have helped!
“Fuck it dude, it’s worth asking.”
“Are you my dad?”/“I was about to ask you the very same thing.”/“What?”
“TAKE HIS EYE. CUT OUT HIS EYE. YOU WANT ME TO BITE IT OUT FOR YOU?”
Brennan really likes the word bud.
Freak the fuck out all the time and just fuck things up. 
They got their ice cream later! And Adaine says thank you to Basrar, even though he’s not even there.
Adaine as the 7 freed maidens (way to go Sandra-Lynn) are re-killing Goldenhoard: Us and them are the only good students.
Gorgug’s nat20! What a WILD time for the dice to give that to him.
“You gotta ask. I ask everyone if they’re my dad.”
Gorgug’s dad (Gorbag) has just as low an intelligence score as his son. It’s hilarious but also sweet.
THE VULTURE
I thought that Digby and WIlma just found Gorgug in the woods? Maybe I’m not remembering right. I would guess that was their version of the stork story but they straight up told him what docking was so…
“Do any other federal agents want to step to Arthur Aguefort on the grounds of his school?”
The Aguefort way!
I wonder what Sam has to say about her former BFF selling her out like that and also getting murdered.
It seems like Gorgug was put on the guest list for hell by accident (his relieved reaction was adorable) but I thought that was orc heaven?
Interesting Gorthalax still has pull in hell when he’s a high school coach now.
BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL
How did he watch the fight? Do they have pay per view in hell?
“I doubt Cathilda will end up here.”
Bill is just such a maniac. I love him so much. I wanna say I can’t believe that killing the devil dril tweet was serious but I can. It’s Bill.
Bill and Fabian having a casual convo in HELL.
Oh my God, Fabian’s mom stabbed Bill’s eye out and he proposed on the spot. No wonder Fabian is so into Aelwen. It’s in his DNA.
What a dope ship.
I can’t believe Emily tricked me into thinking that her end speech wasn’t in service to some nonsense. She held it together for so long but I should have known bc it’s EMILY.
“Young lady, I have no idea who that is and I’m telling you right now yes. I will make whoever that person is vice principal.”
Adaine: Uhhhh….we should find Zayn.
Aww, Zayn’s parents were also terrible elves. 
Unwanted Wingwoman Kristen Applebees
lol at Adaine casting Ray of Sickness on everyone suggesting she date ghost Zayne. Great callbacks to the early eps all around. 
Don’t @ me, but Adaine w/ a ghost boyfriend who also had terrible elf parents might be kinda sick.
“Tomorrow, we’re gonna start training you on how to actually swordfight.” Uhhh, I kinda love Fabian’s mom now?
She literally hasn’t been sober in 15 years. Icon.
“I didn’t know you spoke Tornado.”
Siobhan’s late season tendency to just flip things/people off is hilarious.
Wild that Adaine’s parents just legit DITCHED her that hard and she was like, f ‘em. Clean break.
“She’s helping me spread something.”
Gorgug has so many friends now!!!!!
Lol, Fabian’s whole journey has just been about becoming captain of the Owlbears.
Riz got his PI License. 
Lou and Fabian immediately being so mad at the idea of his mom (Hallariel?) getting with Gilear. Emily/Fig having an equal but opposite reaction. 
“Mama, I will kill this man.”/“I’ll kill you first, it’s not up to you.”
Sandra-Lynn gets with Jawbone. Did Brennan just roll to pair up everyone?
Also, the group is almost all related or quasi-related now. Gorthalax got with Sklonda which makes Fig and Riz sorta siblings. Gilear got with Hallariel making Fig and Fabian sorta siblings. Jawbone sorta adopted Adaine and he got with Sandra-Lynn, again making Adaine kinda siblings with Fig. Plus Fig claimed Gorgug as a sibling a lot of eps ago and if Kristen sticks with Tracker then she’ll marry into this mess. Crazy!
Fabian totally dipping on the sequel hook because he’s gonna be busy trying to break Aelwen out of jail.
I’ve been keeping up with the fanart but there was some in here I hadn’t seen and it was super dope!
I’m so glad we had the after epilogue-epilogue. It was a very nice send-off.
Adaine using her oracle authority to get Zayn back into school! She’s so good. 
Lol and she helped Basrar so he can grant other wishes. I love that this is the NPC that she decided she was going all in for.
Riz and Adaine join AV club! Idk why I love that detail.
Riz cutting off Adaine’s very good question about her jacket w/ his PI talk.
“They’re our rivals.”/“Into it.”
“Is ‘The Ball’ not your real name?” I love Fabian so much.
Zac doing Gorgug’s excited crack-y teenage voice when he’s just concentrating on that and not playing the game is so adorable. He’s just so sweet and enthusiastic and a good kid.
“Guess that tin flower worked, huh?” I cry.
I love that Gorgug’s happy ending is basically just that he has friends now. And that’s literally all he wanted starting out. 
“FIG! GO TO BARD CLASS!”
Aww, Ragh and Gorgug are friends now.
I knew it! I at some point pitched the idea of Ragh ending up with one of the AV guys so he would be w/ someone who had enough intelligence to keep him from dying and I’m 90% sure it’s somewhere on my blog but I can’t be bothered to find it right now. But anyway, he’s in the lgbt club w/ Ragh and Kristen so it’s def a possibility! 
“My bitch sister? Don’t you fucking dare.” (lol, if that happens then the group will be even more related)
Fabian considering recruiting the Cubbys for his rescue attempt of Aelwen.
“Gilear!” I love that Fig loves Gilear now but still calls him by his first name.
And that was Fantasy High! 
I have at least two more posts in the hopper: And epilogue retrospective type deal and also the official JQ37 ranking of all the adults in Fantasy High.
Thanks for sticking with me this far you guys. I can’t draw to save my life and I don’t really do fic so this is the one little way I can contribute to this thing I love so much. 
It’s been real and I’ll see you all soon for an epilogue because, no surprise, I have more things to say.

Wherever the Winds Take You: Chapter 5
A/N: Sorry for the short delay, y’girl got herself concussed the other day by just sitting in class. As always, the translations are down below.
Hope y’all enjoy!
The sound of applause filled the canvas walls, roars and enthusiastic cheers soaring through the air and embracing the collection of people in the center of the huge, circular tent. Even through her earplugs, Lina could hear the noise clearly. But it was different from most other loud noises, this didn't hurt her as much.
The stands were full, that much was obvious even though they were darkened by the shadows cast on by the bright, colourful stage lights that hung over the center. Lina couldn't even see many of the faces in the crowds from her spot high up, perched up on the aerial hoop. But the faces she could make out were grinning from ear-to-ear as they gazed at the performers in front of them.
Lina took a deep breath, the smell of plastic, sweat, and greasy circus food flooding her senses, the hot beams of the lights overhead only adding onto her sweat from the last performance. The weight of the heavy stage makeup, her callused fingers gripping the metal of the hoop, the material of her costume.
All of it, the most beautiful feeling in the world to the fourteen year old girl.
Looking straight up, Lina saw her mother-the beauty that she was-showing off her pearly white teeth as she beamed up at the audience, even blowing them kisses from her perch. Sitting on the top of the hoop, only secured by her grip on the cable that it hung from, wasn't the safest position for Véronique, but she was rarely one to care about that sort of thing.
Sensing her daughter's gaze, the older woman glanced down and hazel eyes met blue as the mother-daughter duo made eye-contact.
“Smile wide at your audience, ma Papillon.” Véronique smiled to her daughter. “Aimez-les autant qu'ils tu aimes.”
Nodding, Lina did as instructed and widened her grin to the stands below. Even blowing a kiss or two to them, matching her mother.
As the applause slowly died out, people beginning to file out of the tent, the performers gradually stopped waving and relaxed. The smiles and joy did not dissipate in the slightest from the performers’ faces however, everyone too happy at the well-done show.
“Benny, a little lower if you could.” Véronique yelled behind her at the rigging men. On cue, the hoop the two women were on slowly began to lower towards the ground. The elder of the two leapt off as soon as they reached a reasonable height, but Lina remained sitting for a while longer until she was met with the familiar face of one Russian strongman.
“You were marvelously vpechatlyayushchiy, Ms. Lina.” Mateo smiled as he extended his arms. Lina smiled and nodded, letting the man perch her on his broad shoulders.
“Spasibo, Mateo.” Lina replied, smiling down at the mountain of a man below her. “You were spectacular as well.”
“Anyone with some meat on their bones can do what I do.” The strongman handwaved, gently squeezing the knee he held to balance the girl on his shoulders. “It takes great talent to do what you and your Mat do.”
“Are you spoiling my daughter again Mateo?” Véronique asked, walking up beside them. “Vy idete, chtoby poluchit' yeye zavisimost', chtoby pokhvalit', yesli vy prodolzhayete.”
“Apologies Madam,” Mateo smiled, looking at the woman, and then up at the girl again, “but I don't believe that would be completely unwarranted.”
“Not to mention she more than deserves high-praise tonight.” The kind voice of Markus said as he snuck up behind his wife, wrapping his arms around her costume-covered waist and pulling her into a backwards embrace. Véronique smiled coyly as she melted into her husband's body. “Just as Ma Ange does.”
Even though Véronique rolled her eyes, the smile, accompanied by her lovingly pulling her husband into a passionate kiss showed that she was more than pleased by his words.
“Lina! Lina!” The high-pitched boys voice met the girl's ears and she perked up to see Leo, accompanied not far behind by Calvin, running up to his family. Mateo, deciding to let the family speak and begin on his cleaning duties, gently placed Lina down on the ground, patted her head gently, and walked away.
“Did you see me up there with Orion?” The ten-year-old Leo exclaimed as he ran up to his older sister. Tonight had been Leo's turn to help with the lion act, his favorite act to help with.
Indeed, having an act named 'The young Leo and the terrifyingly terrific lions’ was amusing to say the least.
“I did, I'm surprised Cortez and Julien actually let you take him out of the ring. The children certainly loved it.” Lina laughed.
“Orion's old and the most well-mannered.” Leo shrugged. “But it was so cool! You did see it, right? Like, the whole thing? Even the m-””She said she saw it, you clown. Calme-toi.”
Calvin's interruption earned him a stuck-out-tongue from his little brother.
“Patrick, Mickey, and Ester are cool; so I'm taking ‘clown’ as a compliment!” Leo huffed in retort, earning a small chuckle from his older siblings.
“Touché.” Calvin smiled, shrugging. Then he turned to Lina, and she noticed that he was still wearing the charcoal-coloured face paint across his eyes that was meant to look like a mask. The black accentuating his blue orbs. “You want to go greet the adoring public? Do the old we're-siblings-and-therefore-adorable shtick?”
“Candy floss does sound nice, I wonder if we can get some from Mia.” Lina nodded, and the three of them began making their way to the opening the public had just exited out from.
“Be safe!” Markus called after his children.
“Oh please, we're always safe.” Calvin smirked.
“Says the fire-eater about the aerialist and the lion-tamer?” Leo snorted, causing the other two to laugh.
“Time runs short.” The sudden burst of pain caused Lina to freeze, grabbing onto her head as it erupted into pain.
Where had that voice come from?
“You must awaken!” As the voice returned, Lina tensed even more, curling into herself.
“You must awaken now!”
Zephyr's eyes flew open as she gasped for breath.
The first thing to hit her was the light. Dim and white, it hurt her eyes and made her wish she could go back to being unconscious. Despite the light burning through to her brain, Zephyr kept her eyes open and looked around at her surroundings. She couldn’t make out much, but she could feel that she was bound tightly by her wrists above her head, her wrists encased in a thick metal. She also realized that she was encased in some kind of glass cocoon, causing the area outside to gleam and appear blurry.
But most of all, what struck Zephyr was the pounding pain that ran through her head.
“Where am I?” Her groggy thoughts mentally asked. “What happened?”
Then she remembered.
The tour of the Hall, Speedy quitting, the secrets and lies being revealed, her, Aqualad, Kid Flash, and Robin running out to Cadmus; the Genomorphs, Superboy, Superboy attacking them…
Zephyr held back a groan as the memories flooded back. She must have been out for a couple hours, that’s why the lights hurt her so much. Her medication was beginning to wear out.
Forcing herself to open her eyes again, she looked through the glass walls to see her comrades beside her; Aqualad to her right, and Kid Flash and Robin to her left. All of them in similar glass pods with their wrists bound by the metal latches. Every one of them seemed groggy. In front of all of them however, Zephyr was surprised to see an emotionless Superboy standing, staring at all of them.
“W-what? What do you want?” Kid Flash suddenly yelled at the clone, apparently much more awake. “Quit staring...you’re creeping me out!”
“Uh, Kid…” Robin interjected, voice groggy, “how about we not tick off the guy who can fry us with a look?”
Superboy didn’t react to either boy’s words, simply continuing to stare emotionlessly at the heroes.
“We only sought to help you-” Aqualad began, but was quickly cut off by a still angry Kid Flash.
“Yea, we free you and you turn on us, how’s that for gra-””Kid.” Aqualad cut off this time, his tone commanding and stern. “Please, be quiet now. I believe our friend was not in full control of his actions.”
“What if I-” Superboy caused, his voice raspy from obviously never using it before. “What if I wasn’t?”
“He can talk?” Kid Flash exclaimed, sounding utterly surprised.
Superboy did not seem to take too kindly to this, clenching his fist at his side. “Yes, he can.”
The ginger speedster received looks from each of his friends, Zephyr even muttering a “really?”.
“What? It’s not like I said ‘it’!” KF justified.
Aqualad turned back to the boy in question. “The Genomorphs taught you telepathically?”
“They taught me much.” Superboy replied. “I can read, write...I know the names of things.”
“But these things that you have learned of, have you actually experienced them?” Zephyr asked. “Have you ever been able to see the sky? The sun? Have you ever known a life outside of your pod?”
“Images are implanted in my mind, but...no. I have not seen them.” Superboy lowered his head, troubled by this.
“Do you know what you are? Who you are?” Aqualad asked.
“I am the Superboy, a Genomorph. A clone made from the DNA of the Superman. Created to replace him should he perish...to destroy him should he turn from the light.”
A chill simultaneously ran through each of the teenager’s spines as Kid Flash, Zephyr, and Robin all looked to each other with looks of shock. Aqualad however, pushed forward.
“To be like Superman is...a worthy aspiration. But like Superman, you deserve a life of your own.” The Atlantean explained. “Beyond that solar-suit, beyond your pod, beyond Cadmus.”
“I live because of Cadmus! It is my home!”
“Your ‘home’ is a test-tube.” Robin reasoned.
“We can give you the life and experiences you have been denied, the life you deserve.” Zephyr explained, putting her strength into giving the boy a small smile. “We can show you the beautiful world outside. The Earth, the sky, the sun-”
“Uh, pretty sure it’s after midnight…” Wally interjected. “But we can show you the moon.”
“We can show you, introduce you, to Superman.”
Just as a look of hope began to make its way into Superboy’s face, and the teenagers began to believe that they may have managed to accomplish their mission, a new voice entered the room.
“No, they can’t.” The door opened to reveal Guardian, the woman scientist that Kid Flash and Zephyr had literally knocked into, and a new figure: a greasy-looking man wearing a white lab coat, his face aged and his long hair pulled into a ponytail. All three of them had a Genomorph-gnome on their shoulder. “They’ll be...otherwise occupied. Activate the cloning procedure.”
“Pass, Batcave's crowded enough.” Robin remarked.
The other teens were a little astounded that the young boy could joke about an non-consensual cloning procedure. However, the scientist didn't even pay the Boy Wonder's remark any mind.
“And get the weapon back in it's pod!” The man ordered.
“Hey, how come he gets to call Supey an 'it’?” Kid Flash exclaimed, earning him a disapproving look from Zephyr.
As Guardian walked over to Superboy, the clone looked over to Aqualad. As a last resort, the Atlantean returned his gaze with a pleading one.
“Help us.”
In response, and to many people's surprise, Superboy shrugged off Guardian's hand.
However, the small victory was short-lived as the scientist walked over to the clone, a look of irritation on his face.
“Don't start thinking now!” The scientist's Genomorph-gnome hopped onto Superboy's shoulder, and the boy's eyes glazed over. “See, you're not a real boy, you're a weapon. And you belong to me-well-to Cadmus. Same thing. Now get back to your pod!”
Not another moment after, Superboy robotically walked out of the room.
Before any of the teenagers could process the loss of their only hope however, they were soon distracted by mechanical arms, attached with four needle-like tips, coming out of the ground. Each of them fought, pulling against their restraints, but to no avail.
The needles plunged into each of their chests, accompanied by raging shocks of electricity as blood drained from each of the heroes bodies. Above their own groans and screams, each of the teens could hear those of their comrades.
Blood rushing, throat becoming sore as screams scratched their vocal chords, muscles on fire, tears welling up in eyes. Each one of the young heroes could feel these, but they were drowned out by over-arching blistering pain that sparked through their bodies for what seemed like several eternities.
Zephyr could vaguely hear the screaming voices of her Winds, but the pain and her brain's oversensory of it caused the elemental cries to become muffled and mixed in with her own screams, and those of her friends.
The others however, vaguely heard something else entirely. The sound of the male scientist saying “delete the source material”.
Just as the teens felt they were about to pass out again, loud banging sounds and the sound of tearing metal filled the room and the electric shocks came to pass.
“I told you to get back to your-” the scientist was unable to finish as he was met with Superboy's fist, sending the older man into a nearby wall.
“Don't give me orders.” Superboy growled.
“Are you here to help us…” Kid Flash asked nervously as the clone turned to face them “or fry us?”
Superboy's eyes narrowed and he stared at the ginger for a long, pregnant pause. Then he eased up, a trace of a smile pulling at his lips. “I don't seem to have heat-vision so I guess helping is my only option.”
“Y-you're...joking, right?” Zephyr asked, still out of breath. Her tone laced with mild worry. But she never got an answer as Robin suddenly jumped out of his pod, rubbing his wrists.
“Finally! Lucky Batman isn't here, he'd have my head for taking this long.” The Boy Wonder said victoriously.
“Dude, that's what you're worried about? The whole League'll have our heads after tonight!”
“I quite like my head…” Zephyr muttered sleepily, but it was so low that she didn't think anyone heard her. A moment later when she realized her words, she shook her head.
As the young girl looked up, she was quick to notice that one of the pillars on one side of the room had toppled over, presumably during their shocking as she hadn't noticed it before. “W-what…?”
Robin walked over to the computer and began typing, making the needles retract and the glass doors of the pods open. “Free Aqualad and Zephyr.” Robin told Superboy. “I'll get Kid Mouth.”
“Don't you give me orders either!” Superboy snarled, but did as he was told nonetheless. Rushing over to Aqualad first and breaking the metal shackles, catching the Atlantean as he sagged over, then doing the same to Zephyr. Although the latter shuffled forward uneasily, she caught herself.
“Thank you…” Aqualad muttered to Superboy, a grateful smile gracing his features.
As the two had their moment, Zephyr reached for the hidden compartment on her left thigh, just at her hip. But as she pulled out the syringe full of translucent blue liquid, Superboy suddenly stepped back, alert.
“Calme-toi.” Zephyr mumbled, pursing her lips as she rolled up the loose sleeve of her cape-fleece and injected the syringe into her bloodstream. “If we're going to get out of here, I'm going to need to be able to work properly.”
“That wasn't ‘working properly’?” Kid Flash exclaimed, pointing to the fallen column. Zephyr frowned, even as the liquid running through her began to dull any pain she felt.
Before she could ask what he meant however, the male scientist moving caught all the teen's attention and they began making their way towards the now ripped apart door.
“Y-you'll never get out of here!” The crazed scientist yelled after them. “I'll have you back in pods by morning!”
Robin, before crossing the threshold, stopped to pull a handful of birdarangs out from his utility belt. “That guy is not whelmed, not whelmed at all.”
“What is it with you and his ‘whelmed’ thing?” Kid Flash asked as the Boy Wonder threw his projectiles, and the two continued to exit the chamber.
The group of five ran through hallway after hallway, climbing up a few levels. This time, they were actually able to stay together, but not very long after their escape the group began to notice that strange-looking patches on the walls around them began to glow red.
“We’re still 42 levels below ground, but if we can make the elevator…”
Sadly Aqualad’s plan came to a screeching halt when the same kind of mammoth-esk genomorphs from earlier cut off the teens’ only path to their escape. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the glowing patches began to tear open like shell-less eggs to reveal the cat-like creatures that the group had encountered with Guardian.
Aqualad, Robin, Zephyr, and Kid Flash managed to find their way around the mammoths, doing their best to climb/leap/fly over them, but Superboy took a different approach as he leapt up to punch one of the giants the face, only to be promptly smashed to the ground by another’s fist.
“Superboy!” Aqualad yelled out. “The goal is escape, not to bury ourselves here!”
“You want escape?!” Superboy screamed back, seemingly in madness, and with a following burst of rage he threw one of the giant creatures into the wall besides him.
Deciding to use the distraction to their advantage, the remaining heroes ran over to the elevator door and Aqualad pried them open once again. Looking up, the mere sight of the seemingly never-ending levels shook the teens, but they carried through.
Zephyr looked to Kid Flash who nodded and held onto her shoulders as she summoned Winds to lift them off into the air. Robin triggering his grappling hook, all just in time for Superboy to join them; apparently done fighting with the genetically-modified mammoths. The clone grabbed onto Aqualad and leapt, making it a good few stories before his ascent slowed down, then stopped.
“I’m...I’m falling.”
Startled, Zephyr managed to catch the two falling boys with some more Winds, but strained under the weight.
“Reaching full carrying capacity…” Zephyr growled through gritted teeth. Thankfully, Robin threw a Birdarang onto the wall by Aqualad and Superboy and the former caught on, supporting both himself and Superboy and leaving Zephyr able to let go of them.
“Superman can fly...why can’t I fly?” Superboy asked, obviously dazed.
“Dunno, but looks like you can leap tall buildings in a single bound.” Wally shrugged, ever the optimist. “Still cool.”
The clone looked around at his new comrades and muttered a low “thank you”.
“Guys,” Robin called, directing everyone’s attention to him and the high-pitched rumbling of the elevator which was quickly approaching. “This will have to be our exit.”
Busting down the nearest door, the five escaped the shaft as the elevator zoomed by. This hallway, sub-level 15, was much more pleasing than sub-level 52, looking more like an office building with its wooden walls and normal, linear, white lights. However, the normalcy was soon interrupted by the cat-like Genomorphs flooding the opposite end, looking ready to fight the teenagers.
Not waiting for them to catch up, the group of five ran down the nearest corridor.
“Go left! Left!” Superboy suddenly yelled, and not having any better ideas, the others followed.
“Right!”
Unfortunately however, Superboy’s directions only managed to get them to a dead end. Faced with a simple wall with only an air-vent.
“Great directions Supey, you trying to get us re-poded?” Kid Flash exclaimed.
Superboy appeared confused, lost in thought. “No...I-I don’t understand…”
“Don’t apologize!” Robin cried out. “This is perfect!”
Looking to Zephyr, the young Boy Wonder motioned to the air-vent with a small smirk. “Ladies first.”
Smiling back at the young boy and nodding, Zephyr stepped forward and pulled up her hood, which had seemingly fallen down during the fight with Superboy. Extending her arm, the girl grabbed the Winds she could feel within the vent with a tight fist, and yanked back. Listening to their command, the Winds rushed forward; taking off the gate with them. Not wasting anymore time, Zephyr flew up and forward through the vent, turning to lift Robin and Kid Flash up with her before Aqualad and Superboy jumped in after them, using their enhanced strength to make the leap themselves.
However, the small structure of the vent was only navigable if the teens crawled on all fours, which significantly slowed them down. KF didn’t seem overly partial to this, which he voiced after a few minutes.
“At this rate, we’ll never get out.”
“Sshhh.” Shushed Superboy. “Listen.”
However, none of the heroes could hear anything.
Until a moment later when the sounds of claws against metal made their way down the tunnel.
“Go! Go!” Aqualad exclaimed, and the group hurriedly scuffled as quickly as they could before turning to the nearest gate. This time using her foot, Zephyr kicked open the gate and jumped down, landing on the ground before being followed by her comrades.
Without missing a beat, Robin ran over to one of the hallway’s outlets and plugged it into his holo-computer. A moment later, he looked up to the others looking triumphant.
“I hacked the motion sensors.”
“Sweet!” Kid Flash grinned.
“Still plenty of them between us and out.” Robin explained.
“But I finally have room to move!” The speedster slid down his goggles and ran through a nearby door which lead into a stairwell, not even hesitating for a moment.
“Always has to run ahead.” Zephyr muttered with a small smile to Aqualad, who returned her smile for a moment before the group shot off like a bullet.
As the group caught up with their speedster, a group of Genomorphs made their way towards them. But Wally simply accelerated, knocking all of them down like bowling pins.
“More behind us!” Robin yelled out. Superboy, the tail of the group, stopped and peered down at the band of Genomorphs hurriedly climbing the stairs behind them. This was soon resolved as the clone stomped down onto the step below him, and the entire staircase crumbled to the ground.
After dashing up several more flights of stairs, the group finally found their way to the top and Kid Flash zipped through the door. When the rest of the group entered into the adjoined hallway however, they found the corridor flooded with red light and the speedster laying on the ground in front of a large metal door.
“We’re cut off from the street.” Aqualad exclaimed.
“Thanks, my head hadn’t noticed.” Kid Flash mumbled sarcastically in return.
Aqualad and Superboy ran over to the doors, attempting to pry it open with sheer force, and Robin pulled up his holo-computer to hack into it. But they were cut off by more creatures quickly approaching and all of them quit their efforts in favor of running through a nearby door.
Only to be cut off by a whole parade’s worth of Genomorphs of varying size and type, and at the center of it all: Guardian.
The teens tried to retract, tuning back to escape, but that was soon blocked off by more creatures as well.
They were forced to take a stand, Aqualad and Robin taking out weapons while the others took fighting stances.
But then, before anyone attacked from either side, the group was hit with a strong wave and everything went black.
“Evangelina, ma papillon, you need to wake up now.”
The familiar voice called out, but to Lina it was so distant and muffled.
“Mama?” Lina called out, her eyes were too heavy to lift but she knew she was lying down. On what, she could not decipher.
“It’s time to wake up, ma fille, you haven’t finished the show yet.”
“The...show?” Lina mumbled, the voice almost too muffled to understand what it was saying. “What show?”
“You know what show, Lina.” The voice replied, this time getting even more muffled and distant. “And you know you need to wake up.”
“Mama? Mama, what show?”
As Zephyr’s eyes finally opened, she was surprised to see that Superboy was the only one of the group that was standing. But as she looked around at the other partners, she was relieved to see that they were also awakening. As they all stood, Aqualad focused in on the hero in front of them.
“Guardian?”
“Go.” The black and blue-clad hero instructed. “I’ll deal with Desmond.”
“Desmond?” Zephyr whispered out of confusion.
“I think not.”
The Genomorphs split to reveal the male scientist from before, behind them.
“Oh, Desmond.” The air-manipulator realized, finally learning the scientist’s name.
The man held up a vile of pale blue-green liquid that seemed to glow in the darkness of the corridor.
“Project Blockbuster will give me the power to restore order to Cadmus.” The man grumbled, before downing the vile all in one gulp.
As the man keeled over onto the ground in pain, his body began to seize and twitch. Groans of pain filled the room and Zephyr moved to help the scientist, only to be stopped by Aqualad's arm, just as the man’s white lab coat shred to pieces, revealing his flesh which was slowly morphing into the colour of cement. The man raised his head to show the flesh of it was tearing apart, and revealed fully black eyes with red dots where his irises should be. As the man began to stand, most of his ripped skin and clothing fell off his body to reveal his new form: a ginormous creature with grey skin and the remains of human flesh hanging off of him.
“Everyone, back!” Guardian commanded before running at the new Desmond. He didn’t last long however as the creature batted him away like a fly, throwing the fully grown man into a wall.
Before anyone could think next, Superboy charged at the former scientist, his fist slamming into Desmond’s face before he was punched into the ground by the snarling beast. Superboy persisted however, jumping right back into it to deliver a strong uppercut to his opponent’s jaw, followed by a few more decent punches. But the boy’s assault was short-lived since when he tried to jump and deliver a diving attack, Desmond leapt up, surging through the clone and sending both of them through the ceiling; leaving a giant hole in their wake.
“Well, that’s one way to bust through the ceiling…” Robin shrugged, shooting off his grappling hook.
“You think Lab-Coat planned that?” Kid Flash asked, grabbing onto Robin as the two flew up.
“I doubt he is planning anything anymore.” Aqualad replied grimly, turning to a frowning Zephyr. Wordlessly grasping her shoulder with one webbed hand, the Atlantean held on as his partner gathered up her Winds and flew them up through the crater.
As soon as they landed however, the two of them were knocked down by Superboy being thrown into them.
As Robin and Kid Flash ran over to help the three of them back up, they regrouped; forming a line side-by-side as they faced off against the giant monster that wanted them dead.
Kid Flash ran off first, zipping towards the creature and then dashing through his legs to land on all fours, directly followed by Aqualad and Superboy punching Desmond in the jaw. The creature toppled over and tripped over Kid Flash, which sent him crashing into the ground.
“Learned that one in kindergarten.” The speedster grinned.
Flying overtop, Zephyr gathered as many Winds as she could, directing them across Desmond’s body before pushing them down to increase the gravity and pressure around the beast.
“Do everyone a favor and please, stay down!” The girl exclaimed.
With a loud growl however, Desmon slowly stood back up even as Zephyr anxiously tried to add more pressure around him.
Giving up just as he stood, the girl redirected her currents to around the creature’s head. Moving her hands in circles as the Winds followed, creating a sphere of air around his head. Desmon paused, unbalanced by the sudden lack of oxygen, but once again he overpowered her attack and swung his fist, sending Zephyr into the ground and knocking all the air out of her, causing her Winds to disperse.
Quickly regaining his composure, Desmond went after Superboy, grabbing him and crashing his body into a nearby column. As the monster kept decking the smaller boy, it seemed like he was trying to punch Superboy through the column. He was stopped however, when Aqualad used his water-bearers to form a whip and wrapped it around Desmond’s arm. The creature tried to grab onto the Atlantean, using the whip to yank him over, but Aqualad simply launched off of his face, using it as a spring-board and he reformed his whips into a spiked mace. Aqualad never landed his attack however, as he was promptly grabbed onto and punched into the floor.
To finish the onslaught, Desmond threw Superboy into another column, rubble falling onto the young boy's body.
Wally promptly ran up to try and help Aqualad, who Desmond had turned his attention to, but the ginger to was quickly snatched up. Aqualad tried to get back up, summoning back his spiked mace, but the two heroes were thrown away with nearly enough force to knock them out. Aqualad however, seemed to still hold Desmond’s attention as the creature attempted to crash the Atlantean’s body through the column by force.
Flying over to Robin, Zephyr fought back the impulse to run in and try to help the others despite knowing she wouldn’t be of much assistance.
“We need a plan, we’re getting killed!” The air-manipulator exclaimed.
“I do have an idea.” Robin said, pulling up a map of the room they were standing in on his holo-computer. He also called out to Kid Flash, summoning him over to them. As the speedster ran over, Robin began to explain. “You see these columns? They’re supportive, they help hold up the building.”
“Meaning if they come down, the building goes down with them!” Kid Flash added.
“Right, and if Desmond keeps at it the way he is…” Robin motioned to the creature, crumbling the column in front of him by swinging Superboy into it. “Got it?”
“Got it.” Kid Flash and Zephyr replied in unison.
“Go.”
Kid Flash ran up to Desmond, still brawling with Superboy, and leapt up. Making a blind grab, he clutched onto the first thing he could reach as the boy leapt in front of the creature’s face. Once he landed, KF realized that what he had grabbed was the piece of flesh that had once been Desmond’s nose.
“Got your nose!” The speedster exclaimed with a grin, and Desmond threw Superboy away and charged for the ginger, only for Zephyr to send a large gust of air towards him, causing him to lose his footing and turn to her.
“C’mon you...crétin.”
Desmond charged at her, only for Zephyr to swoop up at the last minute and use a strong air-slice to add to his force and send him crashing straight into the column that was behind her.
Zephyr heard Robin call Aqualad and Superboy over to explain their plan as Desmond shook off the damage, this time redirecting his fury to Kid Flash who appeared in front of the column across the way.
“Over here you incredible bulk!” He cried out, and Desmond came running at him to crash head-first into the supportive beam. However, KF was a little too slow and ended up getting hit by a small piece of rubble.
The hit slowing him down, Desmond was still able to readjust and head back straight to the speedster, going to slam his fists into the boy but thankfully, Zephyr was able to fly in and form an enforced bubble around them as a kind of forcefield.
“Zeph’, you’re an angel.” KF cried.
“But of course.” Zephyr replied, sending her teammate a friendly wink before thrusting her arms forward and sending the Winds that had made up the bubble straight into Desmond’s jaw, throwing him back.
As he staggered, Kid Flash grabbed Zephyr by the hand and raced them to safety. In their peripherals, they could see that Aqualad and Superboy were taking down the remaining columns.
“Here!” Everyone turned to see Robin motioning to an area closeby, which Aqualad quickly flooded over with water.
KF and Zephyr raced over to the pool, daring Desmond to come at them, and the monster complied. He charged at the two pieces of live bait, only to be knocked down by a strong punch by Superboy, which made him collapse right onto the water. Before he could get up, Aqualad charged up the electricity that flowed through his curling arm tattoos and lowered his hands in the water, electrifying it with a single touch. The shock raced through the water and into Desmond, electrocuting him as he let out a loud howl of pain.
“Move!” Robin cried, and as the sounds of his exploding birdarangs charging up filled the air, all of the teenagers gathered together. Not a moment later, the room was filled with the fire and rubble of the following explosions. As the building crashed down around them, the team of five tried to dash out. But they were too slow, and the debris collapsed on top of them. At the last minute, Zephyr summoned her Winds again and formed a bubble around her five all of them.
Once the falling rocks had settled and the smoke cleared, Zephyr threw out her currents, tossing the clutter that had fallen onto it in the process. As the weight she had just carried sunk into her muscles, she staggered back into Aqualad who caught her and helped her stay standing even though he, along with everyone else, was panting heavily and crouched over in pain.
“We...did it?” Aqualad said through huffs of air, his statement clouded with disbelief.
“Was there...ever any doubt?” Robin gasped back. He and Kid Flash high-fived in victory, only for the impact to strike their most-certainly broken ribs and they let out a groan of pain.
“None in the...slightest.” Zephyr laughed, rubbing her side which felt like it was on fire.
Superboy took a step towards the now-unconscious Desmond, the creature’s body covered in rubble. He seemed lost in thought, but that was stopped when Kid Flash called his attention back.
“Look, the moon.” The speedster motioned up to the sky, where the moon sat so big and full that it almost looked fake. Superboy’s eyes glazed over as he stood there, peering up at the moon with absolute awe.
But then, the moon’s image was interrupted as a small black dot appeared in front of it. As the dot got closer, it appeared to a humanoid figure wearing a cape, quickly descending from the skies and towards the teenagers. As it got closer to them, the very familiar features came into view.
“Oh...and Superman! Do we keep our promises or what?”
As Superman got even closer, he was joined by more and more people. Every Leaguer was there, standing on the edge of the crater that had once been a genetics lab; gazing down at the teenagers with mostly unreadable expressions. You could almost hear the horns in the background, regally announcing their presence.
“We are in so much trouble…” Zephyr muttered.
As everyone saw Superman’s eyes make their way to the unknown teenager amongst the protégés, Superboy stepped forward. Pulling up the scrap of his solar suit that had ripped during the battle, and proudly showcased the famous ‘s’ shield. The same shield that was imprinted on Superman’s chest.
As to be expected, Superman appeared shocked at the new discovery. But what was not to be expected, and what seemed to deeply anger the younger Kryptonian, was the firm look that moved over his features not a moment later. A cold look that seemed to pass right through Superboy as if he wasn’t even there.
“Is that what I think it is?” Batman asked out loud.
“He doesn’t like being called an it…” Kid Flash cringed.
“And he has a name.” Zephyr added, following KF in stepping beside Superboy.
“I’m Superman’s clone!”
Superboy’s sudden exclamation shocked every Justice Leaguer as they fell at ease to look at one another in confusion.
The area was flooded with silence, an awkward one full of tension that nobody in the proximity wanted to be a part of. Until, that is, Batman cut in.
“Start talking.”
‘Aimez-les autant qu'ils tu aimes’: roughly, “Love them as much as they love you”
‘vpechatlyayushchiy’: Russian for very “impressive/spectacular”
‘Spasibo’: Russian for “thank you”
‘Mat’: Russian for “mother”
‘Vy idete, chtoby poluchit' yeye zavisimost', chtoby pokhvalit', yesli vy prodolzhayete’: roughly, “you will get her addicted to oriaee if you keep this up”
‘Ma Ange’: French term of endearment, meaning 'My Angel’
‘crétin’: French for “cretin”

A Bundle of Secrets Chapter 5
Chapter 5
Kay lowered her gun, she knew that Jonathan wasn’t much of a physical threat, “Jonathan, what are you doing here? How are you here?”
Jonathan gulped, “I didn’t think anyone would be here.”
Cameron frowned, “Why? Because you thought no one would figure out I wasn’t you?”
“No, I knew someone would figure it out eventually but I didn’t think you’d be here... with baby supplies... and a baby. You wanna tell me what’s going on?”
Cameron seemed to contemplate even telling Jonathan the truth, he wasn’t sure if it would be a good idea until Kay turned to face with a look on her face as if she was saying ‘tell him’. Cameron motioned for Jonathan to sit on the couch. Jonathan sat down as Cameron and Kay sat across from him. Cameron adjusted Farrah to face Johnny, “This... is Farrah. She’s... our niece.”
Jonathan blinked, “I’m sorry. Our niece? She could either my niece or yours. Her being ours is... T-that’s... that’s impossible.”
“I thought nothing was impossible.” Kay remarked. She couldn’t help being a bit angry with him, not just because of what he said to her but because of what he did to Cameron.
Cameron didn’t notice Kay’s tone, “She’s not either of ours. She’s our sister’s”
Jonathan’s eyes widened, “S-sister?” He shook his head, “We don’t have a sister.”
“Not anymore...” Cameron said, “Her name was Fiona.”
“Was?” Jonathan asked. Cameron felt that he wasn’t able to speak. Kay placed her hand on his, which didn’t go unnoticed by Jonathan, “Cameron. What do you mean by was?”
“She was killed this morning... gunshot to the head. She hid her baby... then I found her at the scene”
Jonathan didn’t know what to say, “She... we... had a sister?”
“According to DNA, she was our half-sister.”
Kay spoke up, “Apparently, the three of you shared the same father.”
“Wait... how old was she?” Jonathan asked looking like he was recalling something.
Kay furrowed her eyebrows, “Uh, twenty-six years old. Why?”
Cameron narrowed his eyes, “Yeah Johnny. Why?”
Twenty-five and a half years ago...
“You did well tonight, boys” Sebastian Black said as he, Cameron, and Jonathan entered their home. “Keep it up and one day, I might take you on tour with me.” Five-year-olds Cameron and Johnny looked at each other with glee at the prospect of being able to travel with their father. They weren’t yet aware of what he had planned for them. Sebastian was about to get something prepared for dinner when the doorbell rang. He told the twins to go to their room while he answered the door.
Cameron did as he was told and went into their room but Jonathan went to the banister to see what was going on. “Johnny?” Cameron quietly called out noticing his brother had left the room.
Johnny knelt by the staircase and noticed his father let in a dark-haired woman holding a baby carrier. At first, his father seemed happy to see the woman, almost like he was greeting a long lost friend until Sebastian Black saw the child. Jonathan couldn’t exactly make out what they were saying, just simple bits and pieces. “-is your daughter.” “Impossible- ... ... ... –cannot take care of some child.” “But I thought- ... –Sebastian, I want us to be a family!” Sebastian and the woman took the conversation in his office, leaving the baby alone. Little Johnny took this as an opportunity to take a closer look at the baby. The little baby grinned when she saw Jonathan.
Jonathan kneeled in front of the carrier and stuck his index finger out to see if she would take it. She did and gurgled a little causing little Jonathan to smile, “Hi... I think I’m your big brother.” The baby continued to gurgle as Johnny noticed her blue eyes matched his, “I think I will like being your big brother. Me and Cam will protect you.”
“Cameron!” Sebastian shouted, knowing full well he was speaking to Jonathan, “I thought I told you to go to your room...”
“I did but... I came out because I thought I heard a baby... and I did so I thought that maybe-”
“It doesn’t matter what you thought!” Sebastian yelled but then calmed down, “This child is of no concern to me”
The woman tried to interject, “But Sebastian, she’s your-”
“Leave.” He said coldly. “I never want to see you or that... baby again.”
“You once told me you wanted your family to be whole again after your wife passed... I think you’ll just end up ripping it into more pieces.” The woman said as she picked up her baby and started to leave. Before she went out the door, she turned to Jonathan, “I hope that you will be able to grow up and still remember that family means everything.” With that, she walked out the door. Leaving Jonathan just standing there, wondering if he’d ever see his sister again.
“Johnny?” Cameron called out.
“W-wha?” Jonathan said.
“You’ve been quiet for a little while” Kay replied, even she was concerned about him, “Why was Fiona’s age so important?”
“I-uh... I thought maybe I would know something if you did.” He lied. He took a good look at Farrah who was playing with Cam’s shirt sleeve. She looked exactly like her mother did as a baby, except for the brown eyes.
Cameron could tell Jonathan wasn’t telling him something but he didn’t want to push it, “What are you doing here Johnny?”
“I didn’t know where else to turn... I may have betrayed MW. By taking the flash drive that could exonerate me from the crime that I did not commit and I may have something useful that I can use against her.”
Cameron’s eyes widened, “What!? Are you insane?”
“Weren’t you? You betrayed her too and by extension, me by not giving her the Links Diamond.”
Kay became confused, “Cam? What is he talking about?”
Jonathan raised an eyebrow, “You still haven’t told her?”
Kay turned to Cameron, “Cameron? What is he mean? What haven’t you told me?”
Cameron turned to her and had a look in his eyes that Kay hadn’t seen before, “I... the reason I didn’t steal the Links Diamond... was you.”
Kay’s eyes widened, “Me?”
“I couldn’t go through with it because Jordan reminded me that if I did, you could lose your job and I couldn’t let that happen. Not because of me. You were the only person who believed me when I said I needed help and I didn’t want to lose your trust... I didn’t want to lose you...”
Kay just stared at him, “I don’t know if that’s incredibly sweet or... incredibly...”
“Stupid?” Jonathan interrupted. Farrah suddenly let out a burst of laughter making Jonathan smile, “See, the kid agrees with me.”
Cameron pursed his mouth, “You wanna hold her?” He said standing up, walking over to his brother.
Jonathan suddenly looked nervous, “Oh... geez, I don’t know Cam...”
“Come on, it not that hard, especially if you’re sitting down” Cameron smirked as he sat next to Jonathan and slowly passed Farrah over to him.
“I don’t think I have the right to...”
“Johnny, no matter what my feelings are towards you right now, you have the right to know your niece.”
Kay got up from her seat, “I think I’ll go make some coffee.”
Jonathan held Farrah underneath her arms having her stand upright on his legs, “She kinda feels like a sack of pudding.” He bounced her up and down slightly, “You’re just a little sack of pudding aren’t you?”
Cameron chuckled a bit, “I would say that she’s more of a little fairy.”
Farrah gurgled and giggled as she placed her tiny hands on Jonathan’s cheeks, “...What did you say our sister’s name was?”
“Fiona. Fiona Jonbroni. It seemed like she had her life more put together than we do.”
“How so?” Jonathan asked as he sat Farrah down on his lap.
“Well, she found someone that she could settle down with, got married, had a kid and lived in a seemly quiet life... until whatever she or her husband were into caught up with them.”
Farrah took hold of Jonathan’s index finger, causing Johnny to almost melt inside, “A-and this little lady’s name?”
Cameron smiled, “Farrah. Farrah Blanc.”
Jonathan looked down at the little girl who was looking up at him with big curious eyes, “Hi Farrah. I’m your Uncle Johnny. I think we’ll get along just fine.” Farrah gave a big smile, granted she had about four teeth but both Johnny and Cam found it totally adorable.
Kay came back with two cups of coffee in her hands and placed them on the glass table next to the forgotten pizza, “Here are two black coffees, and I think you guys might need the caffeine.”
“None for you Kay?” Cameron asked.
“I, uh... I think I should probably head out.”
“What?” Cameron said, nearly jumping out of his seat, “Why?”
“I just think that maybe it’d be best for you guys if I wasn’t here.”
“But we haven’t even eaten yet.”
Kay waved her hand, “It’s fine, I’ll just pick something up on my way home.”
“But how could invite into my home for dinner and then not give you dinner?”
Kay give a slight laugh, “I appreciate that Cameron but-”
“Oh, for crying out loud!” Jonathan exclaimed, “Kay, if you wanna stay, then please. Stay. Cameron, if you want Kay to stay, tell her outright.” Jonathan then took a deep breath, “And Kay?” Kay looked at him, “I’m sorry for what I said. I was angry and I took it out on you even though, you really had done everything in your power to help us. To help me. I didn’t appreciate that and for that, I am truly sorry.”
Kay was speechless for a moment then composed herself, “Thank you Jonathan. I forgive you.”
Jonathan smiled, “Cam was right. You are one of the good ones.”
She smirked, “I still don’t trust you though”
“Fair enough.”
The rest of the night went on as the three ate pizza, talked about how they were going go about bringing Jonathan back into the picture without having to put him back in prison where he doesn’t belong. They all eventually fell asleep. Farrah fell back asleep in her playpen after Jonathan put her back in and Jonathan just kind of crashed on the chair next to the playpen. Cameron and Kay both ended up crashing on the couch but what started out as Kay just leaning her head on Cameron’s shoulder ended with her hand on his chest, just above his heart, with his hand on hers and his head resting on hers. Morning would come too soon and with it... a whole new set of problems...
Alright! And after five chapters... only one day has passed in the story! Feels like a lot longer doesn’t it? Johnny now officially back and he is back to stay... or is he? I’m just kidding! ...Or am I? Anyways, I hoped you guys enjoy this chapter and I hope you will join me for the next.

Tumblr media
But before Gaveyo heads out to the next town, much to the agony of his calves, he still wants to track down Smiley the Trapper, who was last reported near the...
Tumblr media
“Toxic cav#s. Wond#rful. You know, I, too, lik# to visit plac#s that ar# nam#d ‘toxic.’ Why not th# d#ath cav#s of lavaworld whil# w#’r# at it? P#rhaps ‘doomsvill#’ ‘vicious-animal-burg,’ or ‘irradiat#d h#llhol#.’ All gr#at hunting spots.”
Filled with cheery attitude and vigor, Gaveyo proceeds off on his heroic rescue mission to the Toxic Caves.
Tumblr media
But what’s this? A chance to show off in front of the locals and spread word of his Chosen One-ness?
“H#LL Y#S L#T’S PUNCH SOM# LIZARDS!”
Tumblr media
Well, long story short, mission 90% accomplished. Sure, the farmer’s wife dying was tragic, as was the loss of their Tarzan cosplayer hidden behind the trees, but think of the gains here!
Tumblr media
Gaveyo walked away with the farmer’s wife’s rifle! 
“I’M RICH! Mayb# this h#ro shit can pay off aft#r all!”
Alas, Tarzan had only a spear which is worth very little in this economy, and the geckos had nothing on them because Gaveyo never went to skinning class as a small child.
Onto the caves!
Tumblr media
“Wow, gr#at plac# for trapping. I can f##l mys#lf g#tting sup#r pow#rs. What th# h#ll is that burning sm#ll? It b#tt#r not b# my... I dunno, important... stuff.”
Tumblr media
The local wildlife add to Gaveyo’s steadily growing collection of war memorabilia. As it turns out, these overgrown lizards don’t appreciate strangers invading their hunting grounds.
Tumblr media
...And the ‘healthy glow’ of the area has attracted the most fearsome variant of gecko yet! Golden geckos! They go through legs like... well, like a bear’s jaw might go through the arm of an indigo caste.
“No, no, I’m fin#. I just n##d to... r#st... far away. Ov#r th#r#. Wh#r# th#y won’t ch#w on my int#stin#s for a minut#.”
After a hasty retreat followed by resting up for a few days, Gaveyo returns to bathe in the wonderful glow of the toxic caverns as he piledrives the fearsome golden geckos.
Realizing that his tactics must adapt, Gaveyo, the tactical genius that he is, devises a cunning strategy:
Tumblr media
“Haha! Y#ah, right in th# sham# glob#s! Who’s th# tough guy now? It’s m#, boo y#ah!”
Gaveyo takes full advantage of his opponent’s bout of unconsciousness, and viciously curbstomps him until death results. You can freely imagine this is how he handled the rest of the cavern’s enemies.
Tumblr media
...Because it is. Thus, I bequeath Gaveyo a title to go with Ratpuncher...
Dicksmasher.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In fact, he achieves the holy grail of Dicksmashing, by virtue of damaging the family jewels of two Golden Geckos at the same time so hard that both of them pass out, foolishly allowing themselves to be curb stomped to death.
“P#opl# call fist fighting a skill. No, no it’s an art, and I am an artist. An artist#, you know, th# #xtra # mak#s it fancy and shit. Alright, #nough CBT, I can f##l mys#lf growing an #xtra to# down h#r#.”
Tumblr media
Donning a pair of rubber boots for safety, Gaveyo slips past a puddle of Green Slime to discover Smiley. He’s a little hard to see, but he’s the bald fellow standing next to the generator on the right. He’s been hiding here ever since he arrived, because a Golden Gecko badly injured his leg and left him unable to escape.
Not willing to ask what Smiley has been eating these past few days, Gaveyo escorts the injured man back out. He even lends him a pair of boots, mostly so he doesn’t die stepping in acid and thus forfeiting Gaveyo’s reward.
Tumblr media
“You ow# m# pal! You ow# m# BIG! Do you know how good I had to g#t at dick punching to g#t to you!?”
Fortunately, Gaveyo’s DNA is mercifully left alone thanks to his rubber boot foresight.
Tumblr media
...Mostly. Eh, I wouldn’t worry about it.
Returning to Klamath, Gaveyo tells the woman who obviously has a crush on Smiley (who asked him to search for Smiley in the first place) that he wants a reward. But, at the same time, he senses an opportunity.
He could take the money, sure, but there’s something else he wants. You see, there’s a particular man in Klamath who’s stuck with some debt after throwing a drunken tantrum. Gaveyo can respect that level of property destruction. Not only that, but he also knows he could use someone else around so that people won’t try to knife his kidneys as often.
Tumblr media
He also trades in the accumulated junk he’s stolen or pilfered off of various corpses and lockers, finally getting a fresh outfit (Leather combat armor)!
Tumblr media
Anyway, moving onto Sulik, whose debt was just wiped clean by Gaveyo’s “generosity”...
Tumblr media
It takes a lot of drive to jam a bone through not just your nose but also both earlobes. Gaveyo thinks it looks fucking stupid, but he also knows that anyone crazy enough to do that is probably almost as tough as him, so he holds his tongue.
Mostly. He still asks about the bone, as well as Sulik in general
Sulik explains that he’s from a tribe to the west, near “The Great Salt Water,” and that the bone currently occupying his nostrils belonged to his grandfather. By performing this bizarre act, Sulik has ensured his grandfather’s spirit is kept close as he walks the wastes. In fact, Sulik claims he is protected by all manner of spirits!
Gaveyo, now thinking him completely insane, asks why he’s left his tribe. Sulik further explains that his sister was taken by slavers. Sulik chased after them, stopping in Klamath once he heard that a local trader, named Vic, might know something. Vic, incidentally, is the same person Gaveyo is hunting for as his only lead to that farming kit.  After not finding Vic in Klamath (who is still missing in action), Sulik went on a bit of a drunken tear, leading to his indentured servitude up till now.
Sensing a chance to seal the deal, Gaveyo proposes that Sulik travel with him to find Vic.
Tumblr media
Sulik has joined the party!
“P#rf#ct. You stand just in front of m# at all tim#s. It’s important, th# uh, spirits would want it. You should also pr#f#rably jump in front of any bull#ts that ar# coming for m#.”
“(Fr#akin’ w#irdo.)”

RickCon ‘18   (1/6)
@ricksanchezbae gets all the credit for saying, “Imagine RickCon” to me, and then brainstorming with me about all the things a convention on the Citadel for, about, and by Ricks would be like, based on cons we’ve attended. Includes cameos by lots of Ricks and some OCs, and references to some of my other stories. SWF but some swearing, mostly crack-y!
Enjoy!
Rick had brought you to the Citadel before. Quick visits, no “touristy” stuff, just whatever speedy errand he had to complete and you happened to be with him at the time.
But today--today!
Today was special. Rick was a panelist at RickCon ‘18, and he decided to allow you to tag along. It had nothing to do with your begging and whinging about wanting to go, or the promises of blowjobs you made him. So you told yourself. He’d finally caved; that was the important part.
So now you were on the Citadel in a line that snaked seemingly forever back and forth between ropes waiting to get to the admissions booth for a ticket.
Rick groused that he should have bought you a ticket online, but you pointed out you’d still have to stand in line anyway to get your con badge. He only gave you a dry look that you recognized as the one when you make a valid point he hadn’t thought of.
Finally you were next. Rick took a quick sip from his flask.
When you were beckoned forward by the bored looking Rick at the next available booth, you hurried forward. Rick shouldered you out of the way so he made it there first.
“Rick Sanchez, dimension G-88,” he belched at the admissions Rick. “I’m a p-panelist. She’s a guest.”
Admissions Rick didn’t look impressed. “A guest from where?”
“I told you, dipshit. G-88!”
“I need a DNA sample from you and her to verify.”
Rick held out his hand immediately, but you hadn’t been told about a DNA sample--
Rick grabbed your hand too. His grip was strong and unyielding.
“Rick, what--”
“Don’t stick my middle finger, it’s my f-f-favorite!” Rick demanded, ignoring your question.
The Rick behind the desk rolled his eyes, and forced your hand into a flat device that looked like an appendage sized letter press. Rick stuck his hand into another.
There was a tingling sensation, then a jab that resulted in a quick burst of pain, and then your hand was freed. You stuck your poked finger into your mouth and tasted a tiny amount of blood.
The admissions Rick studied his computer screen for a moment, while Rick grumbled again that he should have gotten you a ticket beforehand, because all this bullshit would have been taken care of during pre-registration. The Rick behind the desk didn’t bother hiding his eye roll at that either.
Finally though, Rick’s dimension and your dimension were confirmed. Rick paid your admission. He was given a badge that he shoved in a pocket; you were given a plastic badge on a lanyard with “Rickcon ‘18: Weird Science!” printed on it, a booklet with a map of the convention center, a schedule of panels and events, and small blurbs about each panelist and celebrity Ricks who were ‘honored guests’, plus those ‘honored guests’ autograph and photograph schedules.
You thanked admissions Rick while you were flipping through the booklet, and turned away.
“W-wait, baby,” admissions Rick said, stopping you.
Rick didn’t look too happy about the familiarity of the pet name, but the man behind at the booth stared him down and said,
“I’m not pan, man, I’m fucking gay. She doesn’t do anything for me. Chill the fuck out.”
Rick sighed, and admissions Rick addressed you again.
“You got your badge, but you need your wristband.”
Obligingly, even though it was unusual, you held your hand out again.
Admissions Rick slapped a wide, tight, immobile cuff on it. The same tingling feeling engulfed your forearm, and there was another stab of pain that lingered. In a few seconds, the words “Rick Sanchez, G-88” were emblazoned on the cuff in bright neon green.
“This p-proves where you’re from. It’ll only come off with another sample of your Rick’s DNA, so no other Rick can . . . escort you away,” you were told in a bored tone. “For your own safety, you also can’t leave the convention center with it; the doors won’t open for you unless your Rick has his hand on it. Can’t have you wandering around the Citadel without your Rick.”
A thousand questions skip through your head: So basically the wristband was like a kid’s safety bracelet? What if there’s a fire? How would you get out if that happened? And these other Ricks, would they really try to . . . escort you without your permission?
All that you manage to ask, however, is,
“Another DNA sample?”
Admissions Rick smirks at you. “Y-yeah. He’ll need to pr-provide another drop of blood so you can remove it. There’s other ways to get a little DNA sample, if you two are into weird kinky shit. But it’s programmed for him alone. Now, I suppose other Ricks could beat the hell out of him and get some blood onto it that way, or cut off his fucking hand if they were really determined--”
Rick flips the guy off. “See? Told you it was my favorite finger,” he interrupts, and drags you away from the admissions booth.
Meekly you follow Rick into the entry hall and mount the long escalator to the main floor. You never did get your questions answered, although Rick tells you not to worry, all the other guests brought by Ricks and Mortys who aren’t living on the Citadel will be wearing the cuff too.
to be continued . . .

omg my memory has faded so much already but im finally gonna get this out of my drafts and maybe. make a new post or add to this if i think of anything else. also i’m sure a lot of this is gonna be out of order sorry ;;
HAPPY EVER AFTER FANMEETING 080419!!!!!!!!!!!
they started with 24/7=heaven and followed up with i like it pt 2
during i like it pt 2 when namjoon uses jimin as a telephone jimin shouted “MOSHI MOSHI” so loudly akjgflhjgf
bts was saying that a special guest had come to the fanmeeting that day and they were like “where? look around..... can u spot them....?” and everyone in the crowd was like peering around and then bts was like “the special guest is you, army!! hahahahaha”
hoseok started introducing himself and then pointed the mic at the crowd to finish with “hoooooope!” taehyung did the same he introduced himself as taetae and pointed the mic at us to say it back
jimin had like three rounds of cheers before he even got his introduction out bc he kept halting every time he was about to speak
jin began his introduction w his patented soulful stare and then gave a big flying kiss but jungkook stuck his hand in front of jin’s hand and threw the kiss out to the audience as well so jin turned to him after and was like “what was that? what do you think you’re doing??” jhfgjf
yoongi was sitting between tae and jin and when it was his turn to introduce they like helped him take out his in-ear monitor so the crowd could cheer for him
when the host was speaking during the introduction tae kept playfully hitting his arm in an “oh, stop it” way and then would switch cutely gesturing for him to continue
when they were introducing the memory clouds they started reenacting haikyuu (i heard they did naruto the first day?) mostly with taehyung, jimin, jungkook, jin and they made some references/may have said lines from it but i haven’t watched so i can;t say for sure akjfgh
ironically i’ve forgotten a lot of the memory cloud stuff akdhjfgjkfgh they teased jimin abt if he was gonna get jungkook the mansion he asked for for graduation and also they showed a vlive of namjoon’s where he was using cute filters and he looked like resigned but still a little embarrassed that it was being shown fkjghg
they talked abt whether jimin had grown taller and he claimed he had so they got jimin and yoongi to compare heights, at first jimin stood on his tip toes so on the screen he did look much taller but namjoon pushed him down and made him stand properly. they were p much the same height but honestly jimin was trying so hard whereas yoongi looked like he wasn’t really putting his all into standing 100% straight
at one point when the host asked jungkook was like “i’m more grown up than the oldest so i take care of him often” and namjoon chimed in like “jin’s a child” and jin was like “a CHiLd?????? i just act that way to be on same level as you guys!!”
i forget how they started talking abt it but the host was asking tae abt john legend and tae said that in his mind they had the kind of r/s where they could go out to eat like. burgers or smth I CANT REMEMBER but then he started singing all of me and he stood up to turn to jungkook so they could do a duet and jk harmonized so well... and the others were all like “yahhhhhh!!” afterwards
they divided up into groups based on how far they could jump..... yoongi didn’t even try he did a hop backwards. during jin’s turn jimin jokingly did an imitation of him doing a jump in place and jin seemed to be like w/e and did a small jump forward. jimin did like the longest jump and was SUPER self satisfied
their teams for who would get the costume punishment were hyung vs maknae line and maknae won with the photo of grubby jungkook in hawaii ajhfg i was cheering for hyung line a) i love them b) yoongi shouted the loudest “せーの!” to get us to cheer and i didn’t want to let him down. but their costumes were funny so
they kept joking abt namjoon’s costume because even though there’s a bigger difference w english pronunciation lemon in japanese sounds very close to rapmon in korean. also they called yoongi “suga(r ) candy”
jungkook took a bite out of namjoon’s lemon costume and made a face like he was tasting smth sour and later when he walked jin down the walkway he pretended to take a bite out of him as well
jimin walked hoseok down the walkway near my seat first while singing happy birthday to army and tried to blow out the costume’s candle, then tae and namjoon walked down it like they were models on a runway and at the end tae pretended to chop namjoon up
jimin then walked yoongi down the other side and since his candy cane costume had a green bow he was like “isn’t this like christmas” and started singing last christmas to him, then he told him to hurry up and yoongi started strutting and when they got to the end jimin went around to his other side to take a bite out of the candy cane
hobi kept doing silly dances in his cake costume and they did baepsae he did the dance break wearing it
during good day jin and hoseok started serenading each other and the others kind of gathered around, tae got up in jin’s face and jk was holding onto his shoulder while namjoon slung an arm around hobi and then jimin and yoongi kind of just watched on w amusement lol, then they all turned and gave hearts to the crowd
otsukare song was like a huge party i genuinely thought i would cry if they sung it but it was just way too fun also i dont even remember paying attention to them during it i was just singing as loud as i could. edit: also i was trying so hard to catch a star i was looking up like the whole time!!! i wanted one so badly but none came close enough ;;
there was an interactive rhythm game where the members were assigned an emotion with a gesture/yell to go with it, the teams were jin (love) tae/yoongi (scary) namjoon/hobi (surprise) jimin/jk (fun) and their team’s yell was nochu! at one point they tried to mix it up and say chimchim! instead but jimin was like haha nah .
they each went to a walkway and the 94z team stood on the one nearest to my seat, then the danger and bs&t mvs played on the screens and when the symbols for the emotions passed everyone’s army bombs changed to match the colors and we had to do the gesture/yell. i think hobi got bored and started dancing up on namjoon during bs&t at one point and namjoon was just like I’m Used To It.
there was also an interactive rock paper scissors game! the section of the audience that i was in didn’t win though i lost almost every round lol. the pre-recorded turns for the members looked like they were filmed on the same day as run eps 49-50 because the outfits were the same
mic drop dance break!!!!!!!!!! super cool. not much else to say.
during tae’s line right before the bridge in dna jin hooked an arm over his shoulder so he couldn’t sit and then for the bridge pretended to whisper into tae’s ear while singing his line and tae pretend-whispered his line back. when jimin popped up he gave a little finger heart
their individual filters for go go were so cute... i think jin and yoongi got switched up in line but regardless yoongi was very coy and cute during his time up the crowd really went wild for him
sakaguchi kentaro came!!!!!! the real special guest. the members were talking about signal and mentioned he came and they shone a spotlight on him and he waved, then jimin pulled at his throat a bit to get ready to sing and hobi “helped” by like chopping him in the windpipe ajfhg and then jimin started going down the walkway towards where his seat was basically serenading him with don’t leave me and the others followed up, jimin asked to call him hyung and hoseok like asked for his number in front of a stadium full of ppl akhfghfg get it hobi.......
omg i literally like. i know there are so many things im forgetting but i waited too long to finish writing this ...... bts fried my brain it truly was an otherworldly experience im lucky that i remember any of it at all

Wynonna Earp Questions I Want Most Answered (UPDATED)
I shall keep a running list of questions throughout the season and I have a feeling it will get extensive. There’s a good chance that there’s gonna be spoilers so everything will be under the cut.
As usual, if you got answers/opinions, leave a message or let’s discuss over at https://discord.gg/yaAdGGT
UPDATED: 02 August 2017, 17:23 EST
From S1
1. Gooverly: Evil or Nah? I’m still NOT completely sure, but The Goo™ wants to have fun (S02E04). Evil, pretty sure. Because how can it be so freakin’ mean to Nicole?!? (S02E05). 2. Is Waverly really an Earp (or will she be a Haught instead **wink**wink**)? 3. Does Waverly tell anyone about her being “not an Earp”? Yes. Nicole :) (S02E02). She sent DNA sample but no confirmation seen yet (S2E08).  4. Where did Peacemaker send Willa? 5. Juan Carlo, what art thou? Who art thou? STILL don’t know but he helped bring Dolls to the Earp Homestead (S02E04). He also has been helping/guiding The Order™ (S02E05). A priest in Purgatory who helped capture the Widows the first time and one of the seal keepers (S2E08). 6. Dolls, what art thou? Some type of human/demon hybrid created by Black Badge (S02E01). He can breathe FIRE!!! (S02E04). Is he a dragon? 7. Who and WHERE is Mama Earp? According to Waverly’s old scrapbooking gone wild board at her old Shorty’s apartment, Mama Earp’s name was Wendy Rosie (Thanks, @cm0999). But where did she run off to?!? 8. So, Constance the Stone Witch is just chilling in the salt flats? She’s coming back isn’t she? NOPE. That little Tucker found the Stone Witch and beheaded her (S2E06). 9. So...the whole “Keeper of the Bones” thing is done right? Because Waverly done destroyed the skull and Constance’s sons are dead-dead? 10. Who did Waverly shoot at? The new creature, Hala, a Bulgarian devourer of souls (S02E01). 11. What will happen to all the revenants now that Bobo is gone? Not at trailer park anymore. They’re all scattered. (S02E02).
Start of S2
12. Will Doc get a new hat? Yes. He stole one :) (S02E04). 13. Wynonna, how are you really feeling? Well, crappy enough that The Goo™ was able to possess her pretty easily (s02E04). 14. Dolls. Are you gonna be okay? Well, he’s breathing out fire. So, yes? (S02E04). 15. So...are Chrissy and Waverly still friends? (Kinda want a Waverly-can’t-help-but-gush-about-her-girlfriend-to-her-friend-who-is-clearly-over-and-tired-of-this-coversation scene) 16. Gus, where art thou? 17. What is up with Black Badge? Are they still doing human experiments? They’re not the totally good guys anymore...are they? So Black Badge Division, Ghost River Triangle branch is no more. According to Moody, it wasn’t even a government agency in the first place (S2E06). 18. Lucado is definitely getting demoted, right? Yup. She’s stuck at Purgatory until they collect every last supernatural entity that entered the Triangle. (S02E02). 19. What does Nicole think about her girlfriend’s new voice? Did she hear Waverly say “At least, not today”? She didn’t know Waverly was possessed, but will shoot anybody for her. Should I find that sweet and adorable? (S02E05). 20. Does Jeremy question how Waverly scared the “devour of souls”? NOPE. As of S2E06, it never came up. Doubt it ever will since Mictian/Mikshun is gone. 21. What did Dolls tell Doc? To create his serum? Not, entirely clear on that, but I think it is (S02E03/4). 22. Does the BBD blood oath/contract come into play later? TBD as of S2E06. 23. When does Nicole get a new uniform and why? (based on S2 pictures) Because she hates khakis and Nedley wants her to be sheriff when he retires. (S2E03). It’s gonna happen on Episode 5, based on promo pictures. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. 24. When does Wynonna find out about Gooverly? S02E04. OH S H I T. 25. Why does Waverly take the bell from the police station? Gooverly is hoarding shiny things. (S2E03). 26. Dementors in Purgatory? Or Willa is somehow back (again)? The two Women in Black were the ones that escaped from BBD when it blew up; Lady Gaga hand. (S2E03). 27. Hellmouth?! Well, some asshole broke through the asshole-of-a-seal (S02E04). Well, there are three seals and two are broken by the Widows/Ladies in Black (S2E06). Keeping Sheriff Clootie locked away (S2E08). 28. Does Doc know where Dolls is? Making preparations to create his meds (w/ Rosita)? No. Doc didn’t know where Dolls was but is working on making his serum. (S2E03). 29. *whispers* Could Nicole be supernatural as well? Because I have theories that I will not get into and I still don’t know how I feel about the possibility of non-human Haught. 30. “I like you”?!? Waverly, what happened to “I love her?”? Everyone is just casually saying that they love each other but WayHaught hasn’t said it to each other (S02E05). 31. Shouldn’t Wynonna know whether or not Waverly is biologically related to her? Because she’s six years older and would remember if Mommy was preggers. Or does she call Waverly “baby girl” because when baby!Waverly came to live with them she didn’t have a name yet and Wynonna being the Earp girl who didn’t hate the new child took care of the baby and (due to lack of name) just called her “baby girl”. Remembers when they brought Waverly home from the hospital (S2E08).  32. When did Doc have time to meet people (i.e. Rosita)? Wasn’t he stuck in a well for like...forever? 33. So...any more future private shows for Officer Haught? I need to know, for science. And, role playing? 34. What came first: the trophy or the Marzaniok? Or did Wynonna just assume that it came from the trophy because Perry never said that it did, just that it came out of the trophy case and that they were pretty high when it happened. 35. Why or what does Rosita need protection from? 36. Why do they need ‘pure’ demon blood to make Dolls’ serum? Apparently, Doc’s blood doesn’t work? 37. What was Lucado’s ‘personal matter’? I’m guessing it’s trying to get back to BBD HQ’s good graces (S02E04). 38. How many times have Waverly ‘gone on patrol’ with Nicole? Just, for science, again.  39. What’s with the random snacks Gooverly?!? IDK but based on a promo, Goononna is worse. We’ll probably never know... (S02E05). 40. Why did Mama and Papa Gardner leave most of their fortune to the town? Yes, they’re rich. But, is that all why the Gardners are a big deal in Purgatory? 41. Because Waverly doesn’t remember when she’s being Gooverly, does Gooverly implant memories when taking over? Because I think Waverly would be concerned if she’s blacking out. Finally acknowledged that she’s missing time (S02E04). 42. “Not in uniform, okay? Not in public.” Will we see more sexy times in uniform in Officer Haught in private? 43. “Not good enough.” Does that mean Waverly just wants to jump Nicole every time she’s in uniform or does Gooverly have a crush on Nicole? Because Gooverly does kinda come in defense of Nicole when Tucker was being his creepy, homophobic self. Fandom things The Goo™ was trying to possess Nicole, but didn’t work. Though, I strongly believe (and it’s my headcanon) that The Goo™ has a crush on Nicole (S02E04). 44. And what is up with Tucker Gardner, Town Pervert? Tucker “wants a girl”. It could either be Waverly or Nicole. I think he wants Nicole because he’s starting to be fixated on her. Thin line between hate and obsession? (S02E04). Why did Nedley compile a confidential file on him? Because Tucker has always been protected by his parents/money and has past criminal behavior (S02E04). 45. Will Wynonna and Nicole be bros again? Wynonna apologized to Nicole (S02E04). They both acknowledge Waverly is being weird but Nicole might think it’s the whole “not being an Earp” because she immediately tells Wynonna she won’t betray Waverly’s trust. But I’m gonna need some bro scenes in the future. 46. Where did Waverly disappear to when the gang went to contain the Marzaniok? Next we see her is in Shorty’s and then at the barn. Even Nicole pointed out, “I thought she was with you”. Must be important if it was mentioned. 47. How did Tucker know where Waverly would be when he cornered her? 48. Was Tucker’s bracelet that Gooverly take important/significant? Probably not important, but the metal was for a DIY lightning rod (S2E05). PS: It looked like a medical bracelet. 49. Will there be no consequence with Wynonna’s wish because it was the demon that made the deal with her and not the other way around? 50. Why did Nedley try so hard to specifically recruit Nicole to work in Purgatory? I double that it was just because she was “top of her class”. 51. “Non-werewolf” citizens? 52. Nedley said “they could use your instincts” to Nicole. So, does Haught-stuff have really good instincts (maybe almost supernatural levels)? She does heal rather quickly....(jfc, these non-human Nicole theories, I’m torn about it). 53. Nicole from the Big City? When will we have more Nicole-backstory? Ooh...Nicole-flashbacks? 54. Why were the Women in Black at the Gardner residence? (and RIP Mercedes?) They STOLE Beth and Mercedes’ faces!! (S02E04). They were attracted to Tucker’s darkness...his “prowess”. ew.  55. Gooverly doesn’t seem to hurt Dolls, based on Dolls being okay in the promo for episode 4? (See Question #1) Well, we don’t know what Gooverly was gonna do with that knife (S02E04). 56. Where’s Nicole’s hat?!? New uniform. New hat, apparently. She now wears a baseball cap (S2E06). Will the stetson make a return appearance though? 57. Why does Wynonna smell Mommy’s perfume around the Women in Black? 58. Doc’s horse, where art thou? (anon asks) 59. Dragon!Dolls?!? According to Wynonna: tiny, sexy dragon (S206). 60. Is Jeremy torn between Doc and Dolls? Will we get a flashback of Dolls helping Jeremy with that one chin-up? What is the connection between Jeremy’s mom and Dolls? 61. Will Tucker go after Nicole? Perhaps. But his obsession with Waverly reached new heights (S2E06).  62. Does Nicole have a gluten and lactose problem and that’s why Waverly is excited about being “this close” to getting that vegetarian restaurant for her girl? Asking, for science. 63. Will anyone tell Nicole about Gooverly? Sorta? They don’t really go into the whole “BTW, Waverly has been possessed for the past few weeks”. I really hope Waverly talks to her about it in future episodes (S02E05). 64. Rosita/Doc, is that gonna be a thing? Confirmed sexual relations (S02E06) but not in a relationship. Lovers (S2E08). 65. Will anyone find Waverly’s hand in Ba-Ding Ba-Ding? Probably not? But now we know you can get The Goo™ by severing it’s host and melting it down (S02E05). 66. What is up with the Purgatory Fair commemorative plate? Is Edwin Earp gonna be relevant this season? Why is it so important? So, it’s important to The Order™ dudes and it had their sigil. This will probably play out in the future and may have connections to the asshole seal (S02E05). 67. GOONONNA?!? Well, that was scary and short-lived. But damn! Goononna is uber mean to Nicole. Can we stop being so mean to Nicole? #StopBeingMeanToNicole2k17 (S02E05). 68. (Based on promo pictures) When/Why/How does Gooverly come back? Plus, Andras had said in an interview, we will see more The Goo™/tentacle powers. Waverly being a self-sacrificial cinnamon roll (S02E05). 69. (Based on promo picture) Is Officer Haught protecting Gooverly in her new outfit?! Does she know?!? Protective!Girlfriend!Haught will still love you and shoot anyone for you (S02E05). 70. What is coming?! Are the Women in Black connected to it? BIG MAYBE. We know the Widows are after the seals and probably will unleash something (S2E06). Widows breaking seal to release their husband Clootie demon (S2E08). 71. Are real!Beth and real!Mercedes just faceless, but alive? Because at least one of the bodies were still wiggling. Safe to assume they’re dead (S2E07). 72. Where in the world did Officer Nicole Haught get a gluten-free, lactose-free pizza in almost-have-a-vegetarian-restaurant Purgatory?!? 73. What’s with The Goo™ hoarding all the metal? Does Nicole get her utensils back? The Goo™ made a lighting rod to fuse more permanently to Waverly. Like...that’s super-extra. Does The Goo™ know you can just order one online? (S02E05). 74. Why was Waverly hit with a tranq dart on her way to band? And bandnerd!Waverly?! Yes. What instrument did she play? 75. Pregnant Wynonna! This is NOT a drill! Who is the father? Everyone pretty much accepted that Doc Holliday is the biological father (S2E06). 76. Goocado. Where did the body go? OFFICIAL: Lucado is RIP (S2E06). 77. How will The Squad™ and The Order™ team up? Isn’t The Order™ just focused on The Goo™? 78. WHAT IS WAVERLY? The Goo™ teased that she had ‘dark corners’. Somewhat hinted she is part-demon/part-Revenant (S2E07) and the theory is believed by many Earpers. 79. How does Waverly feel about Nicole’s new outfit? She likes it. Very much so. (Based on Purgatory Case Files text) 80. How does Wynonna really feel about Nicole? ‘Queen Brisk of Bossy Town’ (S2E05). Hang out at strip club, Pussy Willows, and talked about effects of The Seven (S2E07). 81. Is Wynonna’s baby okay? Because, yes she’s been drinking and eating rats and has been possessed?!? It has a strong heartbeat and grew during sleeping spell despite the fact that it shouldn’t have done so (S2E06, S2E07). 82. The Plate™, The Women In Black, The Order™, The Asshole Seal™ are they all connected? How are they all connected? The Widows are after the three seals to break it (S2E06, S2E07). 83. WTF Happened to Black Badge? The place is now empty?!? They’re ghosting the Ghost River Triangle and apparently isn’t a government agency, never was (S2E06). 84. When will we see where Nicole lives? I hope it’s not a motel room. 85. And what about Nicole’s cat? 86. Is Wynonna’s pregnancy supernatural/paranormal-related? Is it human? It grew even though it wasn’t supposed to (S2E06). Possibility of baby being half-Revenant (S2E07). 87. The Ghost River Triangle is also called The Sanctuary, what is it actually protecting? 88. What are the (three) seals for? To keep Sheriff Clootie locked away (S2E08). 89. Is Doc now mortal since the Stone Witch is dead? He was shown coughing; he had tuberculosis and the curse ‘stopped’ it (S2E07). Juan Carlo also assumed to be dying from gangrene (S2E08). 90. Is Baby Donut/Earp affected by the curse that was placed on Doc by Constance? Doc might not be the biological father (S2E07). 91. Where is Tucker now? What is he planning? Tucker is MIA (S2E07). 92. Being Hypno’s daughter, is Poppy fully demon or a hybrid? Will she also have time manipulation powers? 93. Jeremy brings up an important point, who is paying The Squad now? Will Waverly need to work at Shorty’s again? 94. Would Doc continue having sex with Rosita? Yes. They’re “Lovers” (S2E08). 95. Will Jeremy and Nicole be gay BFFs? 96. Do the Widows and Constance Clootie share a husband? YES (S2E08). 97. Are the Widows witches? 98. Why does Widow!Mercedes hate Wyatt Earp? Was he the one who killed their husband? 99. The Widows and The Squad are both after Tucker, as a police offer, will Nicole have to protect him from the Widows? 100. With Doc being “I am all in”, how will the Wyndolliday dynamic change? Dolls and Doc are supporting Wynonna/helping her out. They kidnapped a doctor for her (S2E07). 101. Who are the Powers To Be™ in Black Badge Division? 102. Why does Moody say BBD was never a government agency? 103. Is the rumor of a Revenant/Human hybrid baby true? 104. Since Wynonna is moving on and not planning to do genetic testing (based on interview by Emily Andras), will we ever find out who the bio baby daddy is? 105. The Ghost/Phantom Marshals, do they exist to police humans turned supernatural based on treatment of Doc? 106. Are the Phantom Marshals under Black Badge or just regular law enforcement? 107. Is Rosita from Doc’s past? If so, she isn’t a mortal human. What is she? 108. Why did Nicole have to build a temporary shelter in a flood zone? What the hell was her life? 109. Waverly’s origin story? Wynonna remembers when she was brought home from the hospital (S2E08). 110. Based on S2E08 sneak peek, why does Wynonna have trouble remembering her childhood? Waverly may have thought it was Wynonna that pulled her out of the water, but it was really Bobo (S2E08). OR (if the vision quest does affect the timeline), it was Wynonna originally. IDK. Who knows. 111. Based on S2E08 sneak peek, Wynonna says they were going to name her ‘Welcome’ and Waverly said that Wynonna gave her her name. Willa’s diary also mentioned “why does she get the pretty name?”. Because Time Travel is apparently possible based on the sneak peek, did Wynonna give them the name before returning to proper timeline? Wynonna gave the name ‘Waverly’ to Bobo when he asked for his angel’s name (S2E08).  112. How was Dolls able to touch/punch Ghost Marshall Reeves considering he just said he can’t be touched by something in this earthly plane? 113. Did the vision quest change the current timeline? Specifically, will Bobo and Wynonna’s relationship be different now? 114. Will the Clootie demon need to be re-sealed? If so, will the keeper of the seals also have immortality as a side-effect? 115. Is there anything supernatural about the Purgatory Sheriff’s Department? 116. Who tasked The Order to protect the Triangle from demons? 117. How does Ewan know about BBD? 118. What makes Wynonna special/different from past Earp heirs? 119. How did the Widows end up with Black Badge? 120. Why is Bobo the only revenant back? 121. Wayhaught angst. It’s not a question. Jk. Would they finally have a serious talk about protecting each other? Also, Nicole backstory needed...so much. 122. Earp baby’s accelerated growth. Why?  123. Will Bobo’s obsession/relationship with Willa come up again? 124. While dying, Robert Svane says “...I’ve caught glimpses of you my entire life”. Hallucinating (because, you know, dying) or Wynonna goes on future vision quests? 125. Robert rang the bell in the past/vision quest. Why did it happen in the present?
