#I’m so weak for portal pals

[ cw: scars / permanent injuries / chronic pain / ]
Leo’s shell gets some permanent cracks in it due to the Krang, and as a result his shell’s pattern is all messed up.
He makes a fuss about it in a lightheartedly vain way, but it’s clear that it bothers him, more than just the chronic pain that comes with it.
The one who breaks about the cracks isn’t Leo in the end, it’s Mikey.
It’s a night where Leo can’t sleep, insomnia and the remnants of a fit pulsing through his shell keeping him awake. When making the rounds to check up on everything, he sees Mikey, crouched over some old crayon drawings, drawings that were only salvaged by some miracle.
Mikey always loved matching with his “cool blue bro” growing up. Their shell designs were something they had in common, different from the spines/spikes that their other brothers had. It felt good to share that with Leo.
To Mikey, seeing that pattern tarnished felt a little too much like their home getting destroyed. Worse, even. The two of them are complementary colors, it hits harder when things disrupt that.
And Mikey admits this to Leo, on this day where emotion kept mounting up in him until he couldn’t help but break a little. It feels selfish to say, but it’s the truth. It’s a visual that’ll constantly haunt Mikey, knowing what the cracks represent, knowing how they lost something that was just theirs to share.
Drawing Mikey to him, a hand on Mikey’s intact shell pattern, Leo admits that that’s what kills him the most too. He can deal with the pain, he can deal with the appearance, but he can’t deal with no longer seeing himself in the crayon drawings they managed to salvage from their past. Drawings that highlight their shell patterns, because Mikey always had a lot of fun drawing those.
He always loved what they decided they represented.
———
“Like links of a chain!” Little Mikey had called them as he scribbled them down in oranges and blues.
“Of course it’s like chains!” Little Leo nodded, having never noticed that before, “It, like, shows how we’re- how we’re always connected!”
Little Mikey had gasped at that, stars in his eyes as he babbled endlessly about how that meant they’re the chains holding the family together, right?
“Raphie and Donnie don’t have chains on their shells, so we gotta step up to keep everyone together!” Little Mikey said as he drew big circles around his drawings of their family, overlapping circles of orange and blue around everyone.
“Yeah! And if anyone gets lost, we’ll bring them back!” Little Leo boasted with a laugh, “No one has to be alone, we’ll make sure of it!”
“We’ll make sure of it!” Little Mikey echoed with a happy giggle.
———
‘You sure made sure of it, Mikey.’ Leo thinks, continuing to run his hand comfortingly down Mikey’s shell.
Then a thought hits him.
“Well, we got something better than just shell patterns in common now!” Leo starts, waiting until Mikey looks up to continue, “We got portals, little brother!” He grins, “And y’know, I think you’ve done a great job keeping us all together, Miguel. Sorry you had to pick up my slack.”
Mikey looks two steps away from sobbing at that, but his smile is wide, “You just got lost, of course I had to bring you back.” He leans back, out of Leo’s hold, and looks his big brother in the eyes, “That’s what we said- Raphie and Donnie don’t have portals…”
“-So we gotta step up-“ Leo continues.
“-To keep everyone together!” The finish simultaneously, laughing a little at the juvenile words.
A wry smile crosses Leo’s face, “Again, sorry I’ve been dropping the ball there. Feels like I did a lot of the opposite instead.”
He yelps as Mikey swiftly smacks him on the head.
“Nuh uh uh, none of that!” Mikey puffs out his chest, “I’ll have no slander toward my fellow portal pal!”
“Alright, alright…”
It’s not a fix to anything, more of a new way of looking at a change. Bringing that change into their lives as something familiar.
The cracks in Leo’s shell remain, and the cracks in Mikey’s hands scar over, but their family stays together all the same.
They gotta make sure of it, after all!

Felix panicked. This being that was in front of him was one of the beings he had seen in the Spirit Realm. The Void Spirit. This being had once kicked Felix out of the Spirit Realm when he first entered it because he was no experienced enough to enter. This was one of the gods of his and Destino’s world and he was in front of them.
Singularity: I’m so glad I didn’t need to spend ages doing that. I’m already in a lot of trouble for keeping you here longer than you should be.
Destino looked towards their friend, frozen in fear. They took another look at the being in front of them.
Destino: What’s got you so spooked, Felix? This guy seems so weak that he would fall helpless to my power.
Felix: Destino, that is the Void Spirit. One of the major gods of our world. The one who lurks in the shadows. The creature I told you about when I’ve been in the Spirit Realm. That one. Dripping shadows. Ya remember?
Destino: Hmmmm……..I suppose I remember you talking about him. But are you sure this is the same guy? He doesn’t look god-like. Looks kinda pathetic to me.
Felix: Maybe don’t call the god of our world pathetic Destino! He could destroy us in seconds flat! I’m sure it’s him. Same eyes.
Singularity: It’s nice of you to remember me. And I’m quite pleased with how you’ve been using my realm. Using it to help spirits move on? It’s nice it’s starting to be used and treated as a place to help the dead, rather than imprison me. Anyway.
Destino: Oh great, even the gods know about that. I thought you kept that private.
Felix: Destino, this is an all-powerful and all-knowing being. Of course he’s gonna know! Forgive my friend, lord of shadows and the endless nothingness that comes beyond. They need a few lessons on respect.
Singularity: No need to apologise for them. I find their comments amusing. I shall release your arm so you can have access to your friend. I would say for you not to use this opportunity to break out but I know you couldn’t. Hurry now.
The shadows around Felix allowed him to reach out his arm towards Destino. He hadn’t had to cure anyone from poison in a while. He put his hand on his friend and began to absorb the intoxication that was in Destino’s bloodstream. A faint purple glow flashed in his eyes. It was always interesting how different each poison felt to him. This one had a slight tingle to it.
And soon the intoxication had disappeared. Destino really had drank a lot; it was a lot for Felix to absorb. Felix panted.
Destino: Well, at least I’ll be able to rely on you if I want to prevent a hangover. That dual typing really comes in handy, huh? I’m impressed.
Felix: Thanks pal. Though please don’t ever drink that heavily again. That took a lot outta me.
Singularity: Excellent. I knew you could do it. Now, time to send you back to where you came from.
And with the click of his fingers, Singularity opened a portal and dragged the both of them in. The swirling, shadowy portal closed behind him, leaving not a trace of the three ever being at the library.
[Destino, Felix and Singularity have left the Gala]

I absolutely LOVE angst, so maybe if I..
HOTGUY/SCAR+CUTEGUY/GRIAN.
—————————-🫀—————————————
It was an average enough day, as normal as it comes in this place. No mildly alarming alerts, yet.
Grian, once again, was bandaging scars arm.
' bud.. you have to be more careful! I get that’s it’s your job, but it’s still dangerous! ' Grian exclaimed, for probably the fiftieth time this week.
' I know, I’ll be fine. ' Scar drawled back, tired.
' you’ll be fine?, scar what if it comes to a point where it’s too late for you?, what if I can’t save you? What if nobody can? ' grian said, a worried tone in his voice.
' that’s the thing with you buddy, it’s always “oh what if this happens oh what if that happens” what if’s will never happen!! They are simply things in your feeble mind. ' scar chuckled, ruffling G’s hair.
Grian hissed, annoyed. ' don’t blame me when you die, HotGuy. '
Scar laughed, getting up to look at the view off of their balcony, but he spotted something out of the ordinary.
' Hey-.. Hey what’s that..? G.. buddy you might wanna come look at this.. ' scar said, pointing downwards to the city.
Sure enough, it was something out of the ordinary, it looked new, like it had just formed. It was a glass, pink, shiny portal, with redstone textured outside of it.
' looks like something Mumbo’d like, the amount of redstone. ' grian cleared his throat. 'what is it?'
' I don’t know, but we have to check this out. ' scar replied, grabbing his bow.
Grian nodded, grabbing his own bow. Feeling a bit excited that, for once, scar said We have to check this out, it’s like the old times.. us against the world.
Scar grabbed his elytra, flying down, grian did the same.
' it doesn’t look.. good, or safe. Maybe we turn back? ' grian yelled over the howling wind.
Scar laughed, ' turning back is for the weak! Now c’mon! '
Once they landed, grian pulled up a visor for his eyes, and walked around warily.
' come to think of it.. this has mumbo written all over it. '
' ..mhm.. hey-.. what’s that?.. ' grian asked, pointing at a shadow, of a person?
Scar immediately became alert, looking around, holding his shield out in front of both of them.
The figure moved, scar held out his bow at the ready.
' ah. You’ve found me already? I reckon it was cuteguy, eyes of an eagle! ' a familiar voice said.. mumbos voice.
' I-.. mumbo?.. ' cuteguy asked, worriedly.
' of course it is! ' the shadow stepped out, revealing a rather maniacal figure, tall, with a black and white suit. Definitely their own friend, MumboJumbo.
' what are you doing, you.. maniac. ' hotguy hissed.
' oh y’know, cuteguy always got the attention.. and little old me was ditched!. So I figured.. if cuteguy died.. you could take a new sidekick, and, tsk. I’m perfect for that!! ' Mumbo cackled, an evil glint.
' you want to.. kill me? ' cuteguy asked, hissing.
Mumbo laughed, nodding.
' alright listen here pal, you’re not gonna kill my best friend. ' hotguy snapped, aiming his arrow at mumbo.
Cuteguy grinned, ' a challenge! At last! '
Hotguy looked at cuteguy, confused.
' g? What // are // you doing? ' Hotguy whispered.
Mumbo acted quickly, grabbing cuteguy and pushing him against the wall.
Of course, cuteguy winced, groaning in pain.
' -AH!.. '
' now, // scar //. Choose, I let cuteguy go, and he lives, and // I // be your sidekick!.. Or, I don’t let him go, and force him to switch sides! ' Mumbo laughed, feeling powerful.
Cuteguy looked at scar, tears welling in his eyes.
' ..y- ' scar began, but got interrupted.
' you’re to vain to care about cuteguy, your own best friend. ' Mumbo snapped.
Tears ran down cuteguys cheeks, trembling.
' buddy-.. it was us a-against the world.. ' cuteguy said, crying at this point.
' take him. I can do this myself. ' scar muttered.
Yes, he gave up his best friend, the vain, vain man.
' I- SCAR PLEASE!.. ' cuteguy yelled, scared.
' I DON’T NEED YOUR OPINION GRIAN. ' hotguy yelled.
Even mumbo was shocked, but he released grian, holding him by his arm. No matter how much G tried to release himself, it didn’t work.
' you.. traitor.. ' grian sobbed.
——————————-🫀——————————-
that was hard to write man. But anyway, What’s our opinions? Part 2?

Journal 3′s “Bill’s Notes” Deciphered
In Journal 3, Bill uses a unique cipher (just a simple substitution “A=_” code) throughout. There’s a key in the book itself made by Stanford after he realizes that Bill has been the one writing them.
Using the key, I’ve had a lot of fun deciphering Bill’s messages. Note that I don’t have the special blacklight version, so there may be some extra in it that I can’t decipher.
I’m sure someone’s already done this, but I wanted to try my hand.
Here’s what I’ve been able to decipher. I’ll include the page they’re on and what they say, starting from the beginning. Apostrophes will be added to make some things easier to read, but they do not appear in the original messages. Other punctuation will be omitted, so brace yourselves for run on sentences.
Page: Wolf doodles at the top and mountain drawing at the bottom
Message: I’ve been inside your mind Sixer I know your secrets
Page: GNOMES
Message: They’re too dumb to possess I’ve tried
Page: Myself
Message: Birthday June fifteenth - Deathday sooner than you think
Message 2 (on adjacent page): Little Cathy what a dream held her hand and made her scream
Page: The Bottomless Pit
Message: Some of this junk ended {continued on adjacent page} up in my dimension
Page: A Bit of History
Message: Asked shaman to build first portal big mistake the thing was made out of twigs guy lit himself on fire to try to end my reign drama queen
Page: The Great Secret of the Great Flood
Message: Don’t care for Preston’s face might fix it one day
Page: “Fig A” of portal, following the “My Muse Has Spoken” pages
Message: I’ll get this puppy up and running one day and neither time baby nor the big frilly know it all will stop me
Page: July 29th
Message: One peek into my dimension and this bumpkin lost his weak little mind all he saw was me removing my exoskeleton to feed if you cant take the heat get out of the kitchen jack
Page: CODES
Message: The time you’re wasting delights me
(Fuck you Bill and/or Alex Hirsch, I’m enjoying this so it ISN’T a waste of time!)
Page: After “The Carny” and before “Squash with Human Face and Emotions”
Message: Never trust a witch they’ll curse your ear and turn you into an immortal goat so I hear
Page: 3rd page after “The Encounter”
Message: Thanks for letting me borrow your body Sixer enjoy the mystery bruises
Page: “I fell asleep on my cot only to awake sitting at my desk staring at the strange symbols inscribed below.”
Message 1: You snooze you loose pal don’t you understand I’m only trying to free your dimension
Message 2: I ask you why should they only move forward why must cause precede effect who voted on the laws of physics
Message 3: Rules are perversion against all will that’s why I’m about to rewrite the whole system buddy and no one is going to stop me
That’s all I can find from Bill (in his cipher, at least!)
I’ll make posts deciphering the others another time. I still need to actually sit down and read the book lmao

Faelit was a place to get into all sorts of trouble. It’ll definitely find you, even if you’re sitting on the front steps of a building, waiting for someone to come back.
Ces had left me alone. Only for a moment, but it was long enough for another woman to find me. I jumped as a heavy weight creaked the woods steps beneath me. “Hey, old pal. What’s good?”
A demon woman was smiling at me. Two large horns swept back from her temples, with two smaller ones doing the same below them. They hid two long, tapered ears, and were partially hidden by the mess of curly red hair atop her head. Her skin was red at the edges and faded into a more human pink towards the center. Two rows of fanged teeth showed as she pulled a mischievous grin.
“I don’t know you,” I said, carefully.
She languidly stretched out and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. I froze. “Yeah, there’s a creepy lady following me. So now we’re best friends, and we’ve done cool things together and we’ll go on adventures in the future. Because that’s what pals do. Friendship is two pals munching on a well-cooked face together.” She laughed at my expression. “I’m just teasing you. So. What’s your name?”
“Jaden.” I mean, those high heel boots probably could make a good weapon against creeps, but that was just my opinion.
“Oh. I like it. Nice name for a nice…” She squinted at me. “Enby?”
“Yeah,” I said, surprised.
“We get a lot of people like that around here. Plenty of species don’t do gender. I’m KJ. Or Kate. Whichever.” She casually wiped some unseen crumbs off her tank top. “What brings you to Faelit?”
“Someone named Ces brought me here. I don’t know why, honestly.”
“Shut up! She’s still alive? I’m gonna have to get a good look at her. I’m assuming she just left you here like a child in a hot car, huh?” I nodded. “Eh. She does that. I’ll keep ya company.”
“If you don’t mind me asking, what are you? Species, I mean. I’m sorry.” Now my curiosity was really piqued.
“Chill out. Your kind calls us demons, and our realm Hell. Though you won’t end up there due to masturbating or not forgiving the person who took the last cake slice at a potluck, I can tell you that.” She took out a flask from her cargo pants and took a sip. I shook my head as she offered it to me. “Weird species, humans. You want to go inside? Grab a bite or a drink? My treat. Ces might not be back for a while.”
I paused. “Tempting offer. Where are we going?”
KJ gestured up the stairs. “In there. It’s a cafe by day and a night club by sundown. You look like you could use a coffee or something.”
“They have things a human can eat?”
She laughed. “Yeah, but it’s slim pickings. We don’t get many around here, you see. Don’t worry, Barry will know what to get you. He’s an expert on biology.” She got up and climbed the stairs. “Come on. Don’t be shy now.”
As much as I didn’t really trust her, I hadn’t really eaten or drank anything since Ces pulled me here. I was getting a bit weak. Feeling like a bit of a whiner, I followed KJ.
———
The cafe itself was beautiful. Windows that acted as portals lined the left wall, while the right one was taken up by the counter and all the coffee equipment. Every once in a while, the windows would shift scenes, or someone would enter or leave through them. Each table was intricately carved and decorated with unique designs, as were the four chairs each one had. The wooden walls were a soft yellow color, contrasting with the red-brown tiles. Patrons were few right now, but conversation was kept to a murmur. The small chandeliers cast just the right amount of bright, cheery light across the place. It was introvert me’s version of heaven, essentially.
KJ walked up to the counter and softly tapped her knuckles on it. A shadow bloomed into existence, and then a person stepped out of it. Well, it was more like a person shaped hole in the world, if that makes sense. The shadow figure tilted its head at KJ.
“It’s been a long time, miss. Who’s your—“ the male voice stopped cold as his head turned towards me.
“Barry, this is Jaden. Found them in the dump outside. Jaden, Barry. Now make nice.”
Barry didn’t move or speak for a long while. “KJ,” he dropped his voice to a whisper, “where did he come from? I thought humans couldn’t travel here.”
“Ces brought me here,” I offered. “She’s…repaying me for a favor I did her.”
“I see. Well, what can I get you? I’m not sure what humans like to eat or drink, but KJ should be able to help you find something.” Barry set two mugs on the table.
KJ ordered some kind of roasted food that ended up being on fire, and a red boiling liquid. For me, she suggested a few dishes that were far too unfamiliar for me to feel brave enough to eat. Some kind of deformed squid, overly suspicious jelly, fish with seven eyes grilled to near burnt…
I settled on a pastry filled with something that tasted like a pig-chicken hybrid, with a hint of barbecue. I also got a tall glass of water with oddly shaped ice cubes. KJ paid for it all with a currency I never saw before and coaxed me to sit down at a cafe table near a window.
“So…” She smirked at me. “Let’s talk.”

ph finale and s5 theories
I’m not actually mad at Ryan. he was surprised that the deal went south so that means he didn’t want the Professor to die he just wanted to win for once and maybe teach the Professor a lesson.
this is what he said after the finale on wiscord:
even though he should have known better about messing around with demons!
don’t forget that the Professor gave away his last jellybean and acknowledged it would make him weak - even when Ryan refused it at first
RYAN YOU BETTER GET TO SAVING YOUR FUZZY BLUE PAL!!
when Shane said there was a detail that would have newfound weight, he then came on wiscord today and said
and this is a line in the song:
YET ANOTHER CONNECTION BETWEEN THE PROFESSOR AND JOSE RIZAL!
Rizal was killed for being a nerd who just loved learning as I said in my post here
The Rizal episode is also when the Professor was sans satchel - which is the source of his power as we learned
(I do have questions about how if he poops the jelly beans, how can they be the source of his power? so he creates his own life force?? maybe he can save himself then?)
as he fell into dino land he was separated from the satchel
the Professor got chomped but the satchel did not
does this mean we can hope that the source of his power can bring him back?? and with that I’ve collected a few theories
SEASON 5 THEORIES
yeah I don’t think this is the last season of PH. it’s probably their most popular show so they’d be kinda silly to abandon it. Shane has plans for more seasons (as he mentioned on the wiscord). but I also think they’ve committed pretty hard to the Professor being a major part of their branding so I think they’ll bring him back (fingers crossed).
this could happen by:
1. the Professor was given the power of time travel, so technically he’s still alive out there somewhere. we could theoretically get him back it would just be a Professor who doesn’t know what has happened in the past four seasons bcuz he traveled from a different time (my first theory)
2. the dino can’t actually digest him and poops him out. we get our Professor back (wiscord theory). backed up by the fact that the satchel is still out there.
3. Ryan has to track down the devil or the genie and make another deal to get the Professor back (tumblr theory).
3a. what would this cost him? would he be taken away? (aka they use this as a way to get that first chair empty and rotate out two history guests each week? or would he have to acknowledge that he will NEVER win as his part of the deal (my addition to theory 3)
or maybe we get a new host in s5 I hate this option
my original theory could still hold that we’ll get a new or transformed Professor next season. apparently the parts for the original puppet are becoming harder to source. I know the stunt double Randy is there, but how long can they last? also Shane mentioned needing to repair or remodel (emphasis mine) the theatre soon, so who knows what next season could bring. maybe we get the bigger professor puppet I hypothesized about.
IN CONCLUSION
this ending sucks - I was so happy when that portal in the sky opened thinking he’d be alright and then that dino came outta nowhere and killed all my dreams (props to the editing team though that whole ending was well made)
I know Shane likes messing with us and killing beloved characters but I’m holding out hope that we’ll get the Professor back. I wouldn’t put it past him to release promos of s5 with a new puppet, to pull an uno reverse in the first episode and bring back our beloved Professor. but I won’t really know what to believe until s5 airs and that sucks.
EDIT: just to clarify that the ending sucks emotionally - the episode and the entire season was very well-made, fun, interesting and crafted with care and passion by a whole team of dedicated people <3

I love your fanfiction so much.. actually because of it I watched sofia the first couple of days ago and Cedric is so 😳😳 i just want to hug him and say that everything will be fine... speaking of the request for a story could you please write about how a completely-non-believing-in-magic s/o gets into their world (portal?? spell??) and they with a cedric look at each other like on mice for experiments until they slowly fall in love /i used google translate so sorry for mistakes/
AAAAA that literally made my day when i first saw it, i'm honoured to have encouraged you to watch the show & i'm glad you enjoyed it!
i’m going to make a part two for this fiction as it’ll be very long otherwise
don't apologise for the mistakes - as far as i'm aware, you're asking for the reader to be transported to enchancia who doesn't believe in magic, and cedric sees this as a good opportunity to use them for experiments blah blah love. let me know if i'm wrong about that, but enjoy!
TW: strong language used (swearing)
cedric x reader who doesn't believe in magic | oneshot - part one
"I'm just not convinced that this 'spell' of yours is going to work. You know I don't believe in that sort of crap." You said, shaking your head and folding your arms sternly. Your best friend had been trying to persuade you to try out a new teleportation spell they'd found online for many weeks now - according to the website, the spell would teleport you to a kingdom of magical opportunities and unique people - you simply did not believe the bullshit that came from a domain with a warning on the page.
It had taken a few weeks in order to gather all the equipment needed, and it amused you that your best friend was so easily swayed. You on the other hand? Well, let's just say you were only playing along to prove yourself right. As your friend finished up the alignment in which the equipment was supposed to be, they gestured for you to stand in the centre whilst they got the torn-up paper with the 'magic words' scribbled on messily. With a huff, you hesitantly stepped into the circle that had weird letters around it, glitter from the local craft place in town, and burning sage. "Alright! Are you ready to be transported to a place beyond your wildest dreams?!" Your friend exclaimed, holding onto the piece of paper excitedly and jumping up and down. Although you didn't believe that it was going to work, seeing your friend so excited ignited a sense of warmness in your heart. With a small smile, you nodded.
From then on, your hearing began to turn hazy. You could briefly hear the chanting of your friend, reading from the scrawny piece of paper, but could also hear a new ringing that was getting increasingly louder. You tried to shout out, tried to get your friend to stop and explain how you suddenly thought that this was a bad idea, but you could not hear any words escaping from your mouth. Your stomach began to churn as a bright, white light made you squint. You felt as though you were falling through a lifeless void before you hit a hard surface, your eyes still tightly sealed shut.
What the hell was that? You opened your eyes slowly to find that you were in fact laying down as if you had just got thrown against the surface of something hard. Your body felt numb. On the floor below you, you realised that you were laying upon a red carpet - you don't recall owning one, but then soon saw that the carpet was the length as one of the red carpets you'd see at a movie premiere. Using all your strength to lift up your head enough to support itself, you gazed down what seemed to be a long hallway with intricate designs and paintings decorating the walls. The ceiling was high. You couldn't tell if you were still tripping out or if this was reality but managed to gain more strength to push yourself up even further, looking around your surroundings and taking in the change of scenary. This definitely was not the dingy basement you were in 5 minutes ago. This was something a lot more elegant, posh - almost like the interior of a castle.
All of a sudden, the area you were sitting in was overcast by a shadow, a silhouette of someone. You turned your head expecting to see your friend, but instead saw the long legs of someone unfamiliar to you. They were quite tall and was wearing a long, plum-coloured robe that was tied into a neat knot above their abdomen. You gulped unconsciously and continued to raise your head until you saw the figure fully. They were looming over you, folding their arms into the sleeves of their robe and raising their eyebrow. The look on his face looked stern, but not confused or angry - more of a resting face. The figure had quite noticeable eye bags underneath his hazel eyes and a unique colouration to his hair - he had silvery-white bangs that heavily contrasted the darkness of his natural shade.
You found yourself staring at this odd hair colour before you heard him clear his throat, snapping you out of your trance and jumping slightly. "I uh.." You began, trying to pull yourself to your feet but achieving nothing in the process. The teleportation - or whatever nonsense had just happened, you were too confused to think about it - had obviously left you quite weak. "No need to explain. I'm already aware of your circumstances." The man spoke, cutting you off from what you were trying to explain. You stopped and gave the man a confused look - what did he mean he already knew the circumstances? If you were teleported...was he already aware of that? Hesitantly, you saw him offer you a hand. "It seems as though you've had quite a fall. Here." You looked to his hand - he was wearing black, fingerless gloves that were well fit against his slender fingers - and snuffled a laugh. A bold fashion choice.
Questioningly, you took the mans hand and he pulled you up onto your feet until you were able to look him in the eyes. Finally being able to share the same gaze as him set off a sudden spark in your body that ran from your heart to the hand in which was still interlocked with his own. You felt your heart begin to pound in your chest as you held onto him, not being able to take your eyes away. The same eyes that were looking down at you coldly seemed a lot softer now, gentle even. It was as if the whole world stopped. The figure stared at you for a moment longer, before clearing his throat for the second time and turning his head away, retracting his hand from yours and then offering you a small smile. “You must be my new apprentice. Marvellous to finally meet you.”
“I’m sorry, apprentice?” You questioned, your voice raspy and small. What did he mean apprentice? Apprentice for what? He raised his eyebrow at you once more and stifled a laugh. “Yes? Is there a problem?”
“I’m sorry, but you must be confused. I don’t even know who you are.”
The man looked taken back from your words, judging by the way his face transformed, you seemed to have offended him slightly. “Excuse me? I am Cedric the Sensational! Royal sorcerer of the Kingdom of Enchancia! I’ve saved a few people before and…”
Listening to the man drain on about his successes, you laughed, this time not holding it back. Your laugh caused him to stop talking and stare at you, as you shook your head and brushed off your clothes. “Sorcerer? Sorry pal, but I don’t believe in magic. Try fooling someone else with that story, because it sure ain’t gonna be me.”
Cedric listened to you as you laughed, freezing as he processed. You didn’t believe in magic, yet you had randomly appeared in the middle of the castle, dressed in clothes that’ll surely take you to the dungeon out of the blue? It just didn’t make any sense - unless…
He smirked. It had worked, his spell that he had sent out had actually worked! It was time for him to use this to his own advantage.
He was gonna have fun with his new little experiment.

Soft Hearts and After-Midnight Talks
Ford can’t let go of the past. Mabel can’t stop worrying about the future.
Put together, they’re a melting pot of insomnia and overwhelming emotions.
AO3 Link
Love had never come easy to Ford.
As a kid, his father always said it wasn’t manly to show affection. It made a man weak to wear his heart on his sleeve, and he was merely doing him a favor by showing him tough love, because out in the real world the men who put their emotions first would get torn to shreds.
His mother tried her hardest, but she too had times where she was too busy running her psychic hotline or helping Pa run the pawn shop to pay him much attention.
Ford supposes the closest he ever had to unconditional love as a kid came from Stan. Whenever Ma or Pa were too busy, or the kids at school were screaming and running from his deformity, he knew he could always rely on Stan to be there for him. He’d always been the one to throw a punch for him, to talk him through a panic attack, patch up the scrapes and black eyes he’d received from Crampelter, or even assure him that getting a B minus on an exam wasn’t the end of the world, even if his eyes were rolling into the back of his skull the entire time he said it.
But even that sort of love felt fickle. The night of the science fair, it felt as though something inside of Ford shriveled up and died, and he knew that the rejection from West Coast Tech was only the half the cause of it.
When Stan drove off into the night, it’s as if he took that shriveled up little piece of Ford with him as his grand final fuck you.
After that, Ford tried everything he could. In college he buried himself into the research he was most passionate for, but that could only get him so far when Fiddleford would drag him to bed and force him to be alone with his thoughts. He’d tried going out drinking to forget said thoughts, but he learned the hard way that he was an emotional drunk and alcohol only made those thoughts worse.
If there’s anything he did know, it’s that this lack of love in his life could probably explain how he was able to fall for Bill’s cunning tricks so easy.
“Unlovable?” Bill’s words still rang in the back of his head. “By the time this portal’s finished, you’ll have the whole world at your feet! You’ll be a household name! There’ll be thousands cheering the name Stanford Pines, the man who changed the world!”
What a fool he’d been, blissfully ignoring all of the warning signs for even the slightest chance that a gateway between worlds could earn him love.
What an even bigger fool he’d been to turn away his brother’s love even after ten years of nothing but fear and resentment standing between them.
Ford sighs. He knows, logically, that dwelling on the past will only make things worse. He knows things are okay between him and Stan now. They’re setting off on their first journey on the Stan-O War II next week; things couldn’t get any better between them.
But he also knows that insomnia and intrusive thoughts are a package deal. He’d tried sitting out on the front porch to gaze at the stars and feel the late-summer air on his face to relax, but his inner demons always find their way.
There’s a tiny knock on the doorframe behind him. He jumps at the noise, and turns to see who else could possibly be awake at nearly three in the morning. He’s half expecting Stan, but to his surprise it’s Mabel, sleepily rubbing at her eyes with one hand and holding a half-empty cup of ice water in the other.
“Grunkle Ford?” her voice is groggy and strained. “Is that you?”
“Mabel?” is the only comprehensive response that comes out. “What are you doing up so late?”
“Dipper cursed me with his insomnia and now I can’t sleep” she pouts, and takes a sip from her cup like it’s a shot glass as he joins him on the couch. “Why are you still up, Grunkle Ford?” she squints. “I feel like I should ask you the same question”
He chuckles. “Nothing you need to worry about, dear. I’m just doing some thinking”
“Hmmm…” she squints long and hard at him, like she’s trying to read his mind. “Okay, but I’m watching you. I’m the expert at annoying people until they tell me what’s bothering them”
Ford can’t help but smile. “Noted,” he replies, and shifts his position so he’s facing more towards her. “What about you? I’m the expert in insomnia, so I can’t imagine it’s the only thing keeping you awake"
For the briefest of moments, Mabel’s playful smile drops. She hides the sudden shift by taking another sip of water.
“What? Psshhh…” she dismisses the thought with a wave of her hand. “That’s silly! Everyone knows insomnia means you can’t sleep for no reason. Some expert you are, Grunkle Ford”
She smiles, but it’s strained, and fake, and nothing like the usual smile she flashes when she’s joking around.
“Mabel.” Ford says once, in a firm yet soft tone, and she winces.
“Okay, fine” she mumbles, and drinks the rest of the water from her cup before she continues. “I’ve been having some dumb thoughts too”.
Ford shakes his head. “There’s no such thing as a dumb thought, Mabel. Even if it’s bothering you, it’s indicative of how you’re really feeling” he pats gently at his lap, inviting her to scoot closer. “Maybe I can help” he smiles, ever so slightly, ever so softly. “Even us experts mess up in our own fields sometimes”
She moves too quickly into his arms for a hug for him to read her expression properly.
“Then I feel like a big dumb hypocrite” Mabel murmurs into Ford’s sweater, her voice on the edge of breaking.
Ford frowns, and places an arm around her to reciprocate the hug. “What for?”
Mabel scrunches up his sweater in her fists. “I...I made this whole big ordeal about Dipper wanting to stay here with you after the summer’s over for the apprenticeship, and I still don’t want us to be apart, but…” she buries her face into his sweater, like she’s ashamed of herself for even daring to speak them. “...now that summer’s actually over, and Dipper and I are supposed to be leaving in the morning, I’m not sure I even want to leave”
Her voice finally breaks, and she sniffles into his sweater. “Everyone’s always saying that the real world is so scary, and high school is the worst, and all these things about not knowing what you had until it’s gone, and...I don’t want it to be gone, Grunkle Ford, I love Gravity Falls. But I can’t just tell Dipper that, because then he’ll get all worried, and think that he did something wrong, because he’s already apologized for what he said when we were fighting a thousand times, and-”
Ford gently grips Mabel’s shoulders to cut her off, and pulls her away to make her look him in the eyes. “Mabel, are you going through all of this trouble because you’re worried you’re going to...miss Gravity Falls when you get home?”
“Not just the town!” Mabel exclaims, and rubs at her eyes with her wrist. “I’m gonna miss everything! I’m gonna miss the Shack, I’m gonna miss my friends, I’m gonna miss you and Stan,” she counts off on her fingers and sighs. “I miss everyone at home. I do. But now that I have so many friends here, I don’t want to feel like I’m leaving them behind”
There’s a brief pause, but before Ford can open his mouth to respond, Mabel goes on, murmuring so quietly it’s as if she doesn’t mean to speak out loud at all.
“Or...I don’t want to feel like they’re leaving me behind.”
...Oh.
The fear of being left behind.
Forgotten.
The fear of becoming….unlovable.
That….Ford knows better than anybody.
“Mabel, listen to me,” Ford gently tugs on her chin to force her to make eye contact with him. “Nobody in this town is ever going to forget you. It doesn’t matter if you’re gone for a year, or three, or ten, I can guarantee that the next time you step foot in this town everyone’s going to remember the name Mabel Pines”
“You...really think so?” she blushes.
“I know so,” he nods. “And it’s got nothing to do with Weirdmageddon, or saving the world, or any of that. It’s because you’re magnetic, Mabel. You’ve got a personality that everyone loves. I bet that pizza delivery man you became pen pals with is just sitting at home eagerly awaiting his first letter from you”
She giggles. “I don’t know about that…”
“Still,” Ford continues, “You’ve shown kindness to everyone, Mabel. People don’t forget kindness easily.” he gestures out towards the forest. “Gravity Falls may not be your home, but the people who lived here sure don’t seem to see it that way. You’re not just a tourist, or just some kid visiting her great uncle, you’re one of them.” he beams. “They’re lucky to have had you, Mabel, even just for the one summer”
Her eyes have pools of tears in them, but the beaming smile on her face outshines them. She hurls herself at him in a tight hug, burying her face deep into his sweater.
“I’m lucky to have you too, Grunkle Ford” she murmurs. “I love you”
I love you.
Ford hasn’t had those words spoken to him since he was a kid.
I love you.
It feels like he’s floating on air, and the most grounded he’s felt in decades. It’s freeing, and exhilarating, yet it’s comfortable, and warm. It’s unfamiliar, yet everything he ever lost.
The words ring in his ears and bounce around in his chest before they settle comfortably into the piece of his heart that had been broken for decades.
I love you.
Mabel Pines, after everything he’s put her through, loves him.
A sound escapes him that’s halfway between choking and sobbing. He pulls her even closer into his arms, and silently vows to never let the cruel world dig its pessimistic claws into her for as long as she lives.
“I love you too,” he manages to whisper, and gives her a smooch on the top of her head.

Sky And The Forces Of The Multiverse, Chapter 56
Previous / Next
-
"Sky, i can't thank you enough for inviting me", melaine said from her end of the call, "I have my costume ready and everything, oh god i'm so excited!", she was practically screaming over her compact, "My mom says it's ok as long as you guys have me super well protected, but don't worry, my mask is sure to keep anyone from knowing it's me anyways!".
"Well just keep in mind, your role is to keep track of everyone, so just don't get too distracted. We're there to party but also to make a trap, so we can't exactly spent the whole time not in focus. I want your help because we need as many people as we can and i trust you, but...just make sure to focus. It would just mean a lot to me if you take this just a bit more seriously".
The girl eyed sky before nodding, "Ok, i get it".
"Thanks mel, i really appreciate it, the less stress the better", she said, finishing up the final touches on her last outfit, "When the event happens we all need to focus and stay in communication alright?'. Mel was easy to get distracted so it was more important then ever that they kept in contact with her before she could wander off and lose them, but also why they gave her a job multiple people were doing so they'd be ok just in case.
"Yeah of course, i'm just excited to go to a party and get to participate in your cool mission stuff, you've been going over my notes right? I've been working on some new theories for a few weeks now with all the new info you've been telling me, some of these ones might be of help, your map of mewni makes it easier to pinpoint some locations of their movements".
The map was also something she just liked to have in general but sky could guess that enough by seeing it practically framed in the wall nearby.
"Yeah your notes are super interesting but i'm just not sure if this is really true, i don't have any more secret relatives mel...at least i hope i don't. I like your ideas i just...i'm not sure, i feel like what's happening is just...something i'm missing, this is why i felt like a weak link for so long. I could barely do magic, and i'm not really that smart. Like i dunno mel, we'll just wait till we catch them...for real this time".
"Think you'll have them frozen like eclipsa was?".
"Well, i dunno if we'd go that far...maybe, i mean technically they haven't done anything TOO awful for that but granted they did try to kill angel so...i guess it'll be up to the commission on that one", though it did really feel like that whole deal wasn't exactly the best kinda punishment if they could just be unfrozen later down the line anyway. The commission could always be shady enough to let them out if they wanted to.
"You guys really like to punish prisoners harshly don't you?".
"Hey i mean, when you got powerful prisoners, you kinda have to do crazy things to keep them in check.", sky looked over her project before showing it to her pen pal, "Thoughts? I needed to make something i could actually fight in".
"How'd you even get all these outfits done anyway?".
"Oh i had help, i'm not crazy after all, but i had a hand in each other, designed them all too. It's kinda cool having people like my stuff so much". She usually just made stuff for herself, not so much for others outside of judas, so she had to admit, it was a good feeling. She didn't have to even do all of them but in a weird way she felt she should, it was like giving them something nice from her.
A gift.
Maybe something they could bring home to their friends and families.
Well maybe sky was making it sound better then it actually would be but sending them off with something would be nice at least, that way there was also proof they had gone to another world, that sky existed. When the girls' did get home, who knows what their families and friends might think happened to them, who knows if they might even really believe them either about the truth.
If sky came out of a portal claiming this happened to her she had no idea who would buy it and who would think she didn't get enough sleep that night, regardless ifit was real or not it was still pretty wild. Her moms didn't even know it was a thing you could actually do so why would anyone else? Sky seemed to be the first to have anything of the sort happen to her.
At least with a gift, there's more merit to their stories.
"Without magic too? That's amazing sky!", mel always thought anything sky did was amazing but this still felt nice coming from her, especially since it was all sky, This had nothing to do with her species or her powers or her kingdom, mel was super happy about sky doing something she liked, and it felt really nice to hear coming from her specifically.
Made her feel mel really did care about her for her and not because she was some cool alien princess mel got to meet.
"Well thank you for understanding and getting better with my kingdom and everything, i know you can't really be here much but i hope I'm making things easier for you going forward", as a response mel held out the book on mewni sky had sent her a little while ago, a favor she called in from her mom. Something to keep mel from saying anything she probably shouldn't next time she came to mewni to say hello to everyone.
Which would be rather soon, so better to do it now then later.
"This book is so cool, i have no idea your families had such crazy history like this, could i ever interview them? I really wanna ask them so many things".
"Considering they're all dead that's gonna be a nope".
"But you have magic, you could totally bring them back for me to interview them", then she paused looking at sky's face, "S-sorry, i'll stop if that really bothers you. Uh...school is ok over here, though it's kinda weird having bernie followed by your bodyguard people. The crystal man kept scaring the others and threating to crystalize them, it's been kinda...nuts".
"Knowing you you grabbed of bit of the crystal right?", like that human was going to miss an opportunity to grab something she could display in her room and talk to everyone about for months. Mel even asked if she could have some of sky's goopy leftovers from mewberty to save in a jar when that whole ordeal had happened, grossing out everyone who ever knew her.
Mel smiling to herself and pointing to her shelf where the expected crystal was up and chilling, "You know me too well, and i appreciate it sky i really do...i'm starting a collection right about now. I really missed having you around as much, Bernie is great but he's not my best friend either...more like...second best friend. You and me like to have all kinds of fun and well, i really miss you...and i'm sorry i never say that often and i get carried away".
'You and your mom have been talking, i can tell", melaine smiled in response to that, "Yeah, yeah we have, i talk to her a lot more now and she really makes me feel better when i can't talk to you.", she laid back in her bed, thought she was still melanie she was rarely like this. She really had been doing some changing over the last few months, something that impressed sky.
Judas kinda always seemed to think melaine was too stuck in her fantasy to really live in reality, and sometimes it was really hard to get through to her at all, so this was meaningful to sky. She seemed happy too, all she usually did was go on about her theories and fandoms but opening up was a nice change of pace, felt more genuine in the best of ways.
"Sometimes i think i rely on you too much, that i need more friends...not just you...i guess all i had was you for so long it's become an obsession. Like it was you and only you i was paying attention to and it probably made you feel like a exhibit. I just get so excited about your world, the human world is boring compared to where you came from. You get to fight creatures and go on adventures and i get stuck in my room."
"Mel i can promise you it's not as exciting as you think it is", sky reassured, "You are safer where you are, where you can't be killed or hurt or kidnapped or anything. Your normal life honestly sounds kinda nice, you get to just be a kid and socialize without the kinda pressure i have. You can totally come here if you want to, but these adventures aren't what you think they are".
"Well, i think adventures sound...really fun, like people will remember you no matter what for all the cool things you do. You got to go out there and really live, do things people here only dream of doing. Here, only bernard really talks to me, other kids just thought i was kinda weird, so i should go live with the other weirdos like me. Like you guys are used to it".
"Mel you have a mom, someone who loves you and takes care of you, it's something i kinda wish i felt i had from the beginning.", mel's ears seemed to perk, "Sorry, this is about you, i shouldn't be talking over your problems like this, let's just finish up and end this call before we get any bad ideas.". Though now that she spilt that to her friends she would never hear the end of it and she knew it.
"You gotta be somewhere? That sucks, i want to be able to talk with you longer, we barely get enough time anymore!"
"I always have somewhere to be these days mel, it's like being pulled all over the place, but when i get a breather after this is over...we can take some time to watch a movie together and have fun. You should go and enjoy yourself in the meantime, you and your mom have a lot of fun, i'm just tired and until things ease up i can't hang out as much as i'd like".
"You're a kid too sky...".
"Yeah, but i'm not a normal kid either, and i kinda can't just stop either, these are things i have to do...but you make things a lot easier for me. Trust me, i'd be worse off if you weren't here to help me out". That did seem to make melaine smile a little, "Well without you i wouldn't have many friends at all, so i could say the same, it's really cool having you as my friends cause i've never had someone want to talk to me so much".
"Hey, my only friend before you was judas so it's not like i was doing too much better, and i'm supposed to be a princess everyone admires. If even i can't get a whole bunch of friends then you know something must be wrong with me". She had to laugh, "But eh, mewni is full of stuck up pricks anyway, i have trusted people like you to have my back and that's the real deal".
"You really do like having me as a friend?", to some extent she really sounded surprised, but also extremely touched to even hear sky even consider her such a close friend after recent stuff.
"Yeah of course i do, i mean if you ever like...wanna do something on mewni, just...ask. I mean let your mom know and make sure and tell me what it is so i can plan for it and whatever but since you wanna go here more often. Well we can do that, when we can of course and everything". Melaine seemed more happy then ever, this was something she could never turn down, even if it required her to convince her mom.
"Sky i would love to, i will make sure we have such a great time and i will study up on mewni so i can do my best around it's people and everything, oh i can't wait for the party, i better get going cause my mom is calling me and stuff but i'm so excited and i hope to call you super soon, oh and uh...bernard is your friend, even if he's not your best friend...maybe spend a little more time with him...you guys could use someone to talk to more often when the rest of us are too busy on mewni ok? Oh and uh...if you ever really do wanna interview the dead or whatever, maybe i can have that arranged at some point...just not anytime soon, sounds good?". She sent sky a wave and a nod as she signed off and sky was left all by herself once again in her room.
She got up, she needed to head out soon, heading down the hall into she ran into the person she needed to find. Sunny was waiting for her, with galexia by her side, "You ready to go?". Sky had to nod, she really wanted to see what the ballroom looked like, the underworld was busy getting it finished and the sooner they started the better, everyone else was sure to be there by now.
Sunny teleporting them there almost made it more excited, the flames dimming to reveal the ballroom lined with decor, streamers and tapestries and all kinda of traditional demon decor. The underworld had a very specific kind of elegancy most of the other kingdoms could never replicate, with it's dark and bold colors and it's ability to put anyone in it's place from looks alone.
Judas was going to tone it down a little, no blood, no gore, just a nice ball that everyone could attend. But that never made it any less beautiful, there was still much to be done and the rest of the castle was also to be decorated but this was a fantastic first sight. And sure enough, judas was already being prepped for what he was going to have to do to be crowned.
He sent sky a wave as the demon that was helping him turned his attention back to the task at hand, trying to stand straight as he read off the cards in front of him and tried to semi figure out everything he was going to do and in the order he was going to be doing them.
Sky knew this wasn't the only reason they had been called though, and she could already see marco working out the placement of their traps and what not, getting a head start without trying to draw attention to themselves since who knew if any of the demons here were trustworthy. Tom was giving orders and even his parents were already here at work, which was sure to make judas very uncomfortable currently.
But at least everything seemed to be going to plan at the current moment, things were getting done and it seemed everyone was on the same page, the family had been doing this kinda thing for so long they knew how this would typically work. Tom didn't care that much for his own coronation but there was no way he wasn't going to make sure his son got the best one he could ever provide for him.
Sunny was squeeing alright, sky wondering if sunny would get a butterfly style coronation or a lucitor style one when she was old enough. But she was so familiar with all of these decorations and methods she looked about to burst, pointing out every familiar thing to her to sky and explaining how much it meant to their culture and so on and so forth.
Galexia may of not had the same giddyness but she sure was scribbling a lot during this so much so sky had to help shove her drawings into her pocket so they weren't all over the nice flooring. The demons working were sending them all side eyes for the mess she was making and the girls sent them apologetic smiles as they moved along and helped out.
"This party is going to be amazing sky, i hope we get to enjoy it at least a little", she led lexi along and eyed more of the fancy decor, "I'd love to do some dancing and singing and just having fun in a setting like this...going to parties back home could be a bit of a struggle. I used to have to stay super close to my parents just in case we did get attacked so going off to party was never really an option".
Wow, that really did suck, how much did this really extend to sunny? Did she ever go out and do anything fun without her parents or bodyguards? That sounded so miserable, and she was so excited to go to a party and have a good time without even having to worry about any of that for once in her life. Even if it was technically a plan and she wouldn't even get to have as much as she would like.
Sky was used to having some extent of freedom but she clearly wasn't, and she was going to have to go back to that. It was something that was hard for sky to really think about, and it was not fun to think about either. Sunny wanted to go home, but without the abilities she had here. Sky shook off the sadness as she tried to keep herself distracted.
Judas was busy, so they couldn't really talk, judas needed to remember all his lines and what he was going to do and how he was going to do them. Otherwise the whole thing would be ruined almost immediately. Honestly he seemed super nervous from where she was standing, especially since his family was nearby and all keeping an eye on him, the boy trying to not make a fool of himself.
They were changing things up this year for the coronation in comparison to tom's, but that only made him more nervous. Demons were going to make a fuss and complain and he just knew it, if he got booed on stage he might completely lose it up there and forget all of his lines. Sure, no normal people ever booed the next in line but who knew with this one, he honestly would prefer to just go back to his curse stuff.
At least his curse stuff could kinda be fun at times, nora was nice and jackie was nice and everyone was super supportive...minus the stuff with his grandad. There was nothing fun about having to be crowned in a room full of judgmental people while waiting to face a dangerous person who had clearly tried to take over his mind in his sleep for weeks.
How he was supposed to handle this without freaking out was beyond him, his dad wasn't going through this much when he did it. He didn't have to help with a plan, or deal with a ton of hate, or have his grandpa be kinda made with him. Nor was he at risk to be possessed or something. This was by far too stressful for any normal person, much less a kid. Judas was wondering how he was going to remember any of these lines and the screeching from the demons around him were not helping in the slightest. He wished they had done this when no one was in the room.
The demon helping was glaring at him just for getting distracted at every little thing and it was driving him insane. This was supposed to the same demon who had helped his own dad and right now they were doing the very opposite of helping him in the slightest. He felt himself swallow his pit as he read off another one of his lnes, and then cough right in the middle of it before handing over the script to go and get a drink.
He needed an excuse, just for a small moment.
The demon almost tried to stop him but he felt moving on before his own mother stopped him, marco looking over judas like he had something on his face. " You're worrying me even more then usually, you need to take 5?".
He nodded, "Yes please"
Marco send a look to his grandfather on the way, clearly still not on the greatest of terms despite everything. But they tried to ignore it, marco was not stupid however and clearly they had noticed as they moved along. Actually, judas had the sinking feeling they wanted to talk in private for something very different. Especially since they were still pretty close by when they stopped.
Marco handed them a snack from inside their jacket and handed it over, "I get it, this whole thing is pretty stressful, i wish it wasn't, when we got married we also had a lot of the same pressure. We have to do things a certain way and we had so many eyes on us, not to mention if we made too much of a fool out of us they would never let us forget any of it".
"It's not just that...", he started, but marco already knew where this was going. Putting a hand on his shoulder and sighing, "Jackie talked to me about your grandad and what he said, we're going to be pulling him aside to talk to him. I know he wasn't trying to be hurtful, but clearly it bothers you...and well...your coronation is meant to be a day of celebration with your family...not so divided".
"I never meant to start anything...i'm sorry about that", but his mother wanted to hear none of it, "You didn't start anything, he was always obsessed with trying to keep everyone safe from the beginning. I think it's become harder to accept he might not have to anymore...he used to well...protect tom a lot when he was a kid. He's used to being this way with us".
"But does he normally have to protect us...from ourselves? From each other?", he knew the answer but marco gave him a sympathetic smile, "He'd never do anything to hurt you, he's just frustrated for you and all of us. We'll support you no matter how you choose to handle this whole deal, but it'll take longer for some then others. But eventually i think they'll be on the same page".
Judas eyed his wrist, he was still wearing that shocker his grandfather had given him, he had yet to remove it and he had been debating if he should. On one hand, did he really need it anymore? Did he even want it on his person anymore? On the other hand, was it better to have it then not have it all just in case? Wearing it felt so strange and it was a constant reminder of the worst aspects of his curse.
"But...what if i'm wasting my time? What if he turns out to be right?".
"Then we'll be here to catch you when you fall, it's about as simple as that", the pep talk seemed to help a little a marco handed him another snack, "If it helps i can stand right next to you and make you more comfortable with your lines, tom made my lines easier for me at the time because he held by hand and everything, so maybe you could use some of that too".
He nodded, agreeing with the idea for now, even if it did not make a difference moving forward. This rest break was actually a very good idea and he wished he had taken one so much sooner then when he actually did. At this rate he might start falling asleep during his speeches a and if he fell asleep doing those he would be demonized forever by the watchers.
"Yeah, but i can't do that for the real thing so maybe-".
"C'mon, let's head back out there and get this worked out, we can sort out all this drama during another day when things are eased up and you both are cool enough for it.", he wanted tp protests but he knew they were right, this was just going to have to be saved for another time when they were on good enough terms to properly handle it entirely.
"I'm sorry about all of this drama".
"Not your fault, it's just how it is right now, focus on one thing at a time right now, are you still hungry? You need anything else to eat or drink?". Judas shook their head and marco asked something else, "Do you want to go talk to your friends for a sec? I know this isn't a ton of fun for you". Judas tensed up a little, "Is it really that obvious that i'm not having the best time ever reading notes and making a fool of myself up there?"
He was trying to play it off as a joke, but marco was being serious, judas was not exactly hiding his clear discomfort very well..
"You haven't been right a long time, not getting enough rest, not getting enough of a break...at this point you should take rest breaks when you need them. It'll help make things so much easier for you when you do tasks. We just care about you and maybe taking breaks isn't enough, but seeing you like this is bothering me and tom a lot, you worry us jude".
"I never meant to worry any of you, you all have your own things going on and i keep taking away focus from your lives. I just can't seem to keep myself in order and well, i'm not sure why, i've just been stressed...more stressed". The boy felt his back being comforted and more guilt welt up in his chest, "Yeah, you have every right to be, go take a break, i'll talk to the guy...come back in a half an hour and you can keep going...if it helps, we can change anything about your crowning you need".
"I've already had a lot changed as is, won't the other demons be upset if i changed it TOO much? Wait...i guess i did say i need to stop caring about their opinions, but like, what if-", he was overthinking, he was doing it all over again. "Right right, need to stop thinking about that, take deep breaths, if angel can get himself under control i know i should be able to"
Marco smiled, they really had a precious son, and they wouldn't trade him for anyone else.
They thought back for a bit, sometimes it was hard to really think about but without them there would be no curse, none of this would even be happening if it was not for them. Judas was like this because of them, and maybe there was nothing they could do about it, but the curse was apart of judas, and they had to accept it and accept it might always be this way.
Judas's strength was impressive, as well as how he never blamed them for it.
"You know, when i was cursed, i really thought it was kinda cool for a moment. I mean i was also brainwashed, but having an arm with that kinda ability could be useful in combat and to do things i couldn't with my scrawny human arms at the time, I wish i managed to do the kinda thing you're trying to do now, you're trying to make it into a blessing and i can admire that".
"It's only because it's a thing i'm likely to do, you never had a chance when it was still talking, if it was still alive...i'm not sure it would be the same thing." He gripped his hand tight, "It's hard to go from everyone being afriad of me to not being afraid in me and trusting me to know how to control it, i didn't even know i was controlling it, it just kinda...happened".
"Well if it's emotion based and reacts based on instincts then i can see why it'd be harder to control, sometimes you don't get time to think before it could react. Like it might know what you want more then you do. It appears when you get very upset too, perhaps it's out of a sign of frustration or anger or maybe you want to reach out to someone. Magic isn't simple and straightforward sadly".
"Yeah but this is a part of my own body, shouldn't i know my own body? I can move my limbs fine but not tis limb of mine that shows up at times when i don't even always want it there! How is that supposed to work, how can i not control my own limb?", marco did not have an answer for him. All they could do was give him the best advice they could.
"You're the first jude, it's new to us as well, we'll figure it out with time...no need to rush through it ok? Now, c'mon, let's take it easy, go see sky for a little bit and come back in half an hour ok?". The demon nodded, "Yeah, that sounds good, i'll be right back soon...thanks for getting me out of there...i thought i was going to go mad doing that for so long".
His mother kissed the side of his head, ruffling his hair, the affection did make judas feel a lot better as he felt his eyes even get a little red. If he didn't have his parents helping him with all of this he didn't know where he'd be right now.
"You're a strong kid judas, you're going to be just fine, no need to rush through this process. Keep me updated if you need anything, oh and don't go anywhere we can't see you. If you get kidnapped before your own birthday we're all going to be upset and trust me, i will not let another child of ours be taken away like that. I'll destroy them myself if i have to...and you know i mean that in every single way".
"I'm not trying to rush but...maybe part of me is trying to without like...knowing...", he voice got soft, before nodding, "Right, i'll stop trying to rush through it, maybe that'll make training with jackie a lot more easy on her, i don't wanna upset her and she's putting in a decent amount of time trying to help me fight with it". They seemed to understand, "Jackie is a loyal friend, she's great at training kids, i think she'll figure out what works for you in time, but you come first, i'll see you in a little while so in the meantime take some time for yourself".
They headed away with another kiss to his temple as judas approached his friends who had been waiting for him.
Judas could feel the sense of relief when sky hugged him, reading and posing for so long had left him mentally tired and frustrated. Sky was going to tease him about it forever of course but she understood the pressure he was under and she was a source of comfort, well, when she was trying to keep her sisters from getting into anything around the ballroom.
"Place looks pretty great, better then most balls i go to here, granted...this one is being mostly ran by you since you had more of a say on the theme and everything so yeah". She smirked, "Got to talk to mel, i think we really had a nice moment together, when she's not her goofy nerdy self she can...be really cool. But anyways glad you got some time off, you've been at it for hours".
"You say that as if you were the one doing it, it's more painful if you gotta repeat the same lines and do the same actions over and over again, i promise you. Anyways i sure hope when you go through this it's not as painfully boring, i'm usually the responsible one but even i know this feels like a complete drag and i'd like to be somewhere else to be honest."
"Eh, you always got bored with most of the royal stuff, you're only now just more eager to admit it. But hey, i'm glad you're in a better mood, hows the trap set up going anyway?", judas biting his lips, nervous. "I mean, it's going, i'm not sure if it's going super well exactly but it is going, i just hope things aren't miscalculated or anything because if not we're screwed".
"Well you got back up plans".
"Yes, but all of these plans can only work so far, the idea is to put them in one of your bubbles, but we could miss, if we miss, we try to put them to sleep, and if that doesn't work we try to chain them and this is already unsafe as is. The worst part is when won't know when we spot them and when they will strike, so if we can't be sure when, it's way harder to do something like this".
"Hey worst comes to worst, we all fight against them, they can't beat all of us".
"But we could also get very hurt and i don't want any of you to get hurt, not my family, not my friends, none of us should have to put ourselves at risk. You guys have already been through so much, it would be nice if we could easily get through this and let you all finally put this to rest but it's hard to bury it when you could still get really hurt out there, you know?".
She had to admit, that was always on her mind as well.
"We're better prepared this time at least, this is one guy, so if things go right this should be no problem", she shrugged, "After all, we know the telltale sign of when someone has their mind taken over so we should be able to tell if someone doesn't seem right from a mile away, even with the masks. At worst we are allowed to look under them, the masks is for them to just feel secure".
"Well the sad part is it can make me feel less secure, because what if they get away and we never notice them? Who knows what they could get away with. Lucky for us we all agreed to have masks that show our eyes to keep anyone from worrying if we were possessed or not". Actually that as a good point as she smiled at him, "We can just look under the mask if we feel we have to".
"I'm sorry for being such a downer, this is just...my party. Can you imagine what they'll say if things go horrible wrong on my party of all days? They'll never let me live it down for the rest of my life. This is all nerve wracking enough but when me as a the main event people will blame me if the worst occurs. I'm just very nervous about all of this and you know why that is, it's because i have every right to be".
"Ok yeah, you're right, i know we can't really fool you on stuff like that. But we're safe, we're good, there's no way anyone is gonna slip past our radar. C'mon, we don't wanna spend the whole time panicking right? Your time is limited". Judas quickly tried to pull himself together, not wanting to panic in front of her, "Sorry, but you know exactly what i'm talking about here, this is all worth being nervous about".
"Well jude, can't say i blame you at all, we've kind had a lot of break ins and people getting attacked for any of our tastes at this point. I think we just are going to have to have some faith at this point, because if we spend the entire time worrying about the worst happening, we aren't gonna be able to focus on the tasks at hand and we might end up making things so much worse".
She was right.
"Maybe i need something to help me relax a little...", he mumbled, a sky pulled out a snack for him, "Just eat and take it easy, we're not done setting everything up anyways. but when we are we can only hope. But hey, consider yourself lucky, at least you can still do magic, right now i'm the useless one in the group until further notice. Even your brother is more useful then me right now".
Oh right, sometimes he forgot she didn't have her wand right now, she really was just as powerful as a regular mewman as a result, and in way more danger as well.
"I got more reason to be nervous as a result, at the very least you got a charm and you're powerful as a magic user, like anyone is gonna take you down that easily. Right now i'm still learning how to dip down and my results are kinda mixed not gonna lie. I think i'm getting somewhere but really it doesn't look like it because nothing is really happening".
"Maybe you should ask for the wand back, just for this party at the very least, we know it's gotta be about fixed at this point, so you might as well give it a shot. They can't get mad at you wanting to keep yourself safe now can they?". That was true but even if her mom pulled some strings would they really risk having the wand out there? Granted, what's one more wand out there if all the other girls got to keep theirs?
"You got a point, it should be fixed by now, i should be able to get it back", there might be a little backlash since it got broken in her hands to begin with but it wasn't entirely her fault so perhaps there would be little protest for it. "Besides, if they want a wand, all of our wands are gonna be there ripe for the taking, i swear if they don't even show up i'm gonna-".
"Would you show up if this was you?", suddenly came a voice.
Without question sky answered, "Look, if i was that desperate i'd take the risk, getting a wand and breaking out is better chances then surviving out there with no wand, no home, and everyone is after you and-". She then realized it wasn't judas who asked as she turned around to see eclipsa passing through, clearly having been here to check up on landon.
"I didn't know you were coming over here today...thought you were finishing up going through that stuff", eclipsa nodded, "Oh i can promise you i am, i just had a few reasons to be here today, one being landon, another being with tom so i can get everything i need to know for the event, but the third well...that's way harder to explain and i'm not sure what to do with".
"Well, if you got something to say to us you better spit it out since judas has to get back up and do more of his dumb king stuff.", she put her hands on her hips and seemed worried if what eclipsa was trying to say would mean something bad was about to happen. Eclipsa bit her lips, looking for the right words, "Sky um...i have some suspicions about well...who it might be...i'm not sure if it's true but it's been on my mind and well...it's hard to fully be sure about since it's only my suspicion and everything but-".
Eclipsa had some idea about who it was? Now that was kinda unexpected, eclipsa was rarely that involved in accusing anyone in this situation. For good reason though, false imprisonment hit a nerve with her, so if she had some idea on someone in particular they had to have some actual merit for them to go on right? But Eclipsa seemed to not sure if she should say so like...was she sure or not?
"Well if you're going to say it you should probably tell us before we die standing here".
Eclipsa stopped her stuttering, looking between sky and judas before sighing, "Well, maybe i should gather more information just to be safe, wouldn't want to put someone in a bad spot um...sorry for that". Sky looked very confused though, maybe even a little insulted eclipsa would come all this way to tell them something that important then back out last minute as if what she just said wasn't important at all.
"Eclipsa, what's the big deal?".
"I'm sorry sky, maybe it's best i save my suspicions for later, if i'm not careful i could get someone in serious trouble and well...i shouldn't worry you kids anymore then you already are." She was trying to walk off her mistake and sky did not appreciate it, "Eclipsa, they're pointing the finger a little too much at me for my taste right now so if you know whose actually doing it i'd kinda appreciate it so i can avoid going to prison for the rest of my life".
And yet, eclipsa froze and shook her head, "Later, i promise, i don't wanna risk putting anyone innocent in prison. I don't have enough solid evidence and you have enough to worry about, i'll tell you if i have enough evidence". And she fled before sky could chew her out more, landon watching her awkwardly before turning to his brother and sky and approaching slowly.
"Well that looked odd from where I was standing, you uh...ok?".
"I know i kinda chewed you out for wanting to use violence against a criminal who hurt your crush , but i'd be lying if there weren't times i really wanted to punch eclipsa for driving me crazy", sky felt herself tug at her own hair, judas patting her back. "She loves you, i'm sure she had a good reason to back out and not tell who straight up who she was thinking".
"Well she better figure it out fast before i end up on the chopping block as luna's accomplice. If luna had more solid evidence against her she'd probably be on trail right now, she should be considered lucky her dna isn't being found everywhere like mine". She huffed, landon walking over to his brother, and speaking tp him quietly as not to bother the grumpy teenage girl.
"She says i should call bernard, check up on him. Less wierd and insane then you were probably expecting, she just kinda well...likes to talk about my relationship with him since i told her it was a thing so now she likes sending me advice on dating, but now she does it frequently and it's more embarrassing".
Judas, thankful to be off topic from himself, eyed his brother curiously, "Uh how come?". His brother blushing profusely, "She says i should ask him to come to your stupid coronation with him, if even just as friends...but...ugh that might be so embarrassing. I'm giving him space to figure out his feelings and if i asked him out while he's doing that i'd just be a bad idea and make it worse...i mean i want to invite him but for him it would come off the wrong way and-".
"It doesn't have to be a date, you're best friends right? Just ask if he wants to attend, he likes the underworld after all. Mason is already inviting fae so there should be no trouble". Landon continued to stand stiff though, not answering, as if he was terrified to even consider the idea of asking him. Guess it was expecting a lot to think he wouldn't still have some anxieties about this whole thing.
His first real friend and crush and the thought of losing him at the blink of an eye was a very real thing that could happen that he clearly didn't want. "Hey, it's only a suggestion if you don't want to do it, no pressure. At the end of the day your comfort still matters a lot. Eclipsa...isn't exactly always the peak of good advice after all, if that's not obvious enough".
"Even with some form of magic now, i'm still not very confident...am i?".
"If magic made you more confident i would still be up there practicing instead of down here talking you all of you", the boy said, sighing, "Point is don't be so hard on yourself ok? This is up to you and what you want to do, you know him better ten we do after all. Just make sure to be super careful about how you ask if you invite him, especially if you are worried".
"Eclipsa is a cool teacher but she's so nosy about everyone's dating lives, it's just kinda annoying", he mumbled, "She asks about it all the time when we practice and i worry that maybe i'm not doing enough or something". He was getting red faced again and he grumbled, "Sorry, i'm being annoying about it again". Only for judas to correct him, "No you're not".
"You can say that because you never went for your crush on sky, it's not the same thing. You gave up on it, you didn't have to worry about doing this or that like i am, you were like...6...i'm 15 and i can barely talk to my only friend now without worrying the worst is gonna happen at any second. You don't know how embarrassing this all is for me".
"Landon, i was a kid when i had a crush on her, of course it's not the same thing and i know that. Look, i'm just saying it's different for everyone ok? Don't beat on yourself too hard, you're doing the best with what you have. Bernard is a person, not a goal, you don't gotta do anything crazy to win him over and you know that, you're just worried about what he'd going to say when he figures things out...you're making yourself more paranoid."
He was right, and he hated to admit it.
"I've never had to go through this before, every time i talk to him i worry i'm gonna say something wrong and i just...it's really freaking me out, and it's not helping that everyone has an idea of what i should be doing when i don't even know what i'm doing". He wanted to ball up and hide somewhere, blushing profusely, "I'm happy it's out i just...things are so weird jude".
"You're right, i'm not exactly the best person to be getting relationship advice from, but still and i mean it, don't let eclipsa tell you how to handle it...you'll figure out what works best i'm sure". The comforting pat he gave his brother was enough to cool landon down in the moment and he nodded, "Right, need to be more confident in myself, sometimes it just slips...i'll see what i can do...and figure things out before i see him next". He took a couple deep breaths, "I wanna show him the magic i've been learning anyway so...maybe i can figure it out by then".
He sill seemed a little tense and judas could only assume why at this point, "Don't let his parents freak you out, or the commission, just focus on him. You're his best friend and you've done everything for him you possibly could. Besides, this issue is between you two, not them, they don't get to tell you two how to feel about each other. Plus the kidnapping was not your fault and if they blame you for that screw them".
This made landon smile a little more, judas would probably stomp all the way down there himself and tell them to their faces they were being unfair to landon if he felt he had to. It was a big brother thing, but sometimes he did need to hear this kinda stuff, blaming and getting mad at himself these days was just as common as him blaming others for things out of their control.
No wonder everyone came to judas for pop talks.
"You're good at pep talks jude, even if you're not always well yourself", landon eyes up all the décor around them, and sighed, "I really was so bitter about the attention you got as a kid...but...i also had a weird view of you too...like that you were always perfect and everything and your curse was an excuse to coddle you so much. It was a dumb thing for me to think and tell you but i couldn't help it at the time cause i was a jealous little kid...but i can tell this arm thing really has messed you up and if i didn't say it enough before...i wanna apologize for like...being a massive jerk about it".
"Hey...i get it, mom and dad did pay a lot of attention to me so...i can understand why you were so upset. I wish i had noticed how much it had been bothering you sooner, you're really talented landon, i know i'm supposed to be like...in charge next but you're also really cool and well...the kingdom really missed out on you by looking at me and mason so much instead.".
"Heh...i guess it really did do well performing and stuff recently, and mom actually got to see it and watch me do well...the stake outs? I mean i still think they didn't get us much but doing it really boosted my confidence i think. I kinda wanna...if you're ok with that of course, perform in your coronation? Like something nice i could do...for you, just for fun and everything".
"Wait, you wanna perform for me at my coronation? Like, in front of all those people? That's way more then there was a the last place you performed". He was halfway touched but also halfway concerned his brother would get stage fright and bounce, how ready was he exactly when his performances were so limited? He didn't wanna see landon embarrass himself over it.
"I know, but this whole thing means a lot to you so i was thinking...maybe i could do it and...everyone would also see how talented i can be too. Or maybe i'm thinking way too hard about this whole thing...i just thought about doing it and i have to tell others or it won't happen considering the tight schedule". Despite how nervous he was, his brother on the other hand, seemed more then happy landon would do that for him.
"Well, if you're sure about it, i'm not going to complain about the idea too much, just don't push yourself too hard...this deal is gonna be much bigger then any stage you've been on before". Then he felt sky tap his shoulder again, "Hey, you better get back up there before they drag you up there king lucitor diaz, me and landon can share in out panicking and frustration on our own together".
She was kinda joking, but it was probably partially completely serious.
However, she wasn't wrong, the demon could spot his parents asking him to head back over, and he waved to sky before heading on his way. Landon awkwardly waving to sky who was keeping an eye on her sisters who were busy helping decorate in the corner, "You seen celeste? I haven't seen her all day and she's usually with you...she isn't hurt right?".
Celeste hadn't been hanging out with landon as much as usual so it ,kinda had been hard to tell, she wasn't exactly a very social person and she mostly had been keeping to herself, so the concern was kinda something she felt every time she didn't see her with landon.
"She's coming soon, she just needed to take care of something real quick, but even she had to come and check out the place, to know where she needs to go and everything and stuff. Plus, honestly i think she gets kinda lonely, as much as she likes to say that's not true. She's kinda...attached to us, well she already liked me but when we're just talking...she kinda admits to liking you guys a lot...cause you guys just kinda stick by her".
Sky snorted, "Hey, don't worry, i think we figured that out by how she went against luna to protect jude...she's never really gotten so defensive of anyone else like that before. Gotta admit, she's really cool when you get past the kinda rudeness, i mean, she could still work on her attitude and everything bit i'm gonna kinda miss having it around and everything".
Celeste wasn't exactly the nicest person around but she seemed to care more then she ever let on, and having her gone would still feel like some kind of loss, sky couldn't imagine not seeing her following landon around anymore.
The boy bit his lips, observing her expression and sharing in her sadness, "You're gonna miss all of them, aren't you? I mean, i know you never had siblings really, and well...siblings for me are like...complicated...but the point is...i think you're gonna miss having sisters...a lot". Sky nodded silently, watching sunny and galexia, "I always kinda wanted siblings sometimes, because i just had you guys for so long, it's gonna be weird without them...going back to almost how things used to be".
"Celeste...you know like...having a sister? It was kinda weird at first but after a while it just felt nice, she was kinda my first real friends i made on my own since bernard and i were just trying to form a friendship, and...it's gonna be weird to not have to get her advice on things or have her wand to practice on...some times i think about what it's gonna be like without her and just how lonely i might be again".
"You still think you're going to be lonely?".
"Judas might be in charge, mason has fae to focus on, you got your own stuff to sort out and there's no one else that really hangs out with me besides bernard, and i'm not sure what our relationship is gonna be at this point.", he really must have been thinking about this quite a bit. How lonely he was going to be with the girls leaving, especially celeste.
"Well, I guess all the more reason to start getting yourself out there and meeting new people with your interests, making new friends and letting them known you exist and are just as cool as your bros. But hey, for the record, i doubt me and your brothers are going to leave you hanging, like i'm sad about losing the girls...but i know you guys will still have my back...you guys have always kinda in a way...been like my siblings".
He seemed amused, "That almost makes it even funnier judas had a crush on you at some point".
"Ahh, enough mocking him for that, we all have those embarrassing moments...if anything i'm kinda flattered he really sorta thought it was that cool at one point, but it's nothing to freak out about". She huffed, thinking about eclipsa and what had happened a few minutes ago, "Hey, has she told you anything about the investigation? I'm really curious since she likes to gossip about this kinda stuff sometimes?".
"To me? Not exactly, mostly because i kinda don't pay that much attention to any of that, though she does on occasion talk about some of the things she found super weird with all the junk she was going through, like how many dang jars they seemed to own. Like how many ingredients does one need and how does one acquire all of this kinda junk anyway?".
"Well they did have help, but that's actually a good question, was all of that there before they showed up or did they get it afterwards?".
"Well eclipsa at one point said one of the ingredients was definitely black market material, so i can only assume they were doing some shady stuff and buying them from darker places...not that i heard much else." That was something to ponder on, "I guess they probably don't have money for this stuff, they move around so much unless they were already rich there's no way they're holding down a job to pay for anything they actually seem to own".
"Well, all their hideouts are nothing fancy either, you'd think if they had a home they'd operate from their home.", landon and sky exchanged looks," Look, i hate to say it, but maybe it really is meteora...would explain eclipsa acting so strange, would explain why they move around so much, how they know so much, even would give us a motive...the kingdoms wronged her".
"You're sounding like my friend damien", sunny popped her head into their conversation, galexia being dragged behind her, "But i can see what you mean, i don't want it to be her though, she seems so...cool...well sometimes. It's just...for her to do all of this, she has to be...really awful, meteora back home...she's just so sweet and nice and everything".
"But she's not your meteora, she's our meteora", landon said, sighing, "So...i know we keep going back and forth, but it would make a little more sense if you consider them to be homeless and moving around so much". It left sunny in silence but it was hard for her to even argue against, as much as she clearly wanted to, the group eyeing judas as he continued his practice before landon's compact started to ring.
He grabbed it, quick and nervous, before eyeing sky.
"It's uh...bernard".
"Oh? Better take it then", and so landon did, leaving just as celeste wandered into the room finally, noticing her sisters and heading over. She looked soaked from head to toe, though the warm air down here was making her feel a ton better. But that wasn't just it, she also seemed extremely moody. Celeste was always moody but this time, she was more moody then her usual moodiness.
"Celeste?".
Celeste strode over to them, noticing landon wasn't there with them and trying to dry herself quickly. She didn't even tell them where she had been, not saying a word, only for sunny to pop in and tap her, "Hey, you need a towel or something? What exactly happened? When landon said you had to take care of something he never mentioned you were going out swimming or something". But celeste didn't say anything, she just stood there soaked and annoyed and like she had something to say but didn't wanna say it at all.
But that was not going to stop sky.
She stood right in front of her and gave her a look, "Hey, i know things aren't always perfect these days, but right now i would really appreciate it if you just talked to us, we're been living together for a long time and if we're going to help you need to start just telling us what's on your mind. So could you please?" Celeste looked more embarrassed before sighing.
"I went to see lucy, got wet practicing some magic".
"You went to the dog to practice magic?", sunny made a small fire and held it up to celeste, who looked down at her soaked body. "She just had a big open spot and well...she likes me so i thought she could help so i decided to go over there with some of the evidence and...i just got myself went trying to stop her". Before sky could question fully what she meant she felt the castle move a little and so did everyone else.
Lucy got out.
And the king was quick to figure that out, tom immediately sensing what was happening before teleporting away to go find the beloved dog. Celeste looked super embarrassed at herself for letting the dog get away before holding out the evidence she had been carrying around. "Look, i was going to bring it back, i just wanted to test something real quick".
"How'd you get ahold of one of these masks? These were with eclipsa's evidence pile...there's no way you should have one unless-".
Celeste sighed, "Eclipsa, i just asked after one of landon's lessons if i could borrow one of the evidence bits, because there was so much evidence so maybe i could get a scent off one of them for lucy and it didn't go well when i tried". She hugged herself, more then upset, "Look, landon's been so busy with eclipsa and i was just looking for a reason to spend more time with him again so i also thought i could help eclipsa...and she said i could as long as i gave it back and...".
"Are you...jealous of bernard?". said the bluenette suspiciously. Celeste grumbled to herself, not really wanting to outright admit something like that, "I've been so useless...in tis investigation, all of you have been helpful and landon is one of them...het gets to be helping and with his crush and i've just...i don't really like being alone. I've never really felt like this before, because i was ok being alone before and now i-".
"Hey it's ok, we'll catch lucy and-".
"No it's not ok, when we go home i go back to...having almost no one, to my miserable family, having not done anything to help or even anyone who feels like they're really going to miss me, i'm scared of what's going to happen when i do get back home. Will my parents think i really did run away? Will they be mad at me? Will...will things be worse if i go back?".
Was she really debating about even going back homr? To her family and her own timeline and universe? Right in front of sky? Sky couldn't believe what she was hearing right now, this had never really been something they had even debated before. None of the girls had ever really expressed a strong desire to really not go back, even if it was an option, and now celeste was debating it?
"Celeste, you know you have to go back...you can't stay here".
"But...i'll miss all of you, i don't have any of this back home i barely have even a family back home". How celeste was just full on crying, "I'm sorry, i'm so sorry...i just...got so emotional today". Sunny went in for the hug with no hesitation, trying to relax the girl, "It's ok, we're going to miss being here too, we're going to miss you so much too when we have to go".
"Celeste, you didn't have to push yourself to help so much, you could've been hurt or damaged something important", and the girl sighed, pushing back more tears, "You guys have just been handling things without me and i just wanted to feel included. Now that landon is busy with bernard and you all are busy with this...it leaves me...on the outs...a lot".
She could still hear lucy bounding down the halls, and sky nodded her head, "Hey, how about this why don't we go catch lucy and talk about this after the fact, you should kinda tell king lucitor how she got out instead of hiding here". Celeste wanted to back out, but then nodded, as much as she wanted to disagree she could not, "I'm sorry, i just wanted to be included in everything going on".
Sky signaled to the other girls to stay back as she headed out with celeste, "If lucy likes you so much she'll probably smell you and come right to you, now just be careful and don't break anything, like we need to fix this castle again". Celeste nodded in silence as they headed down the hall, was celeste suggesting she didn't even want to go back all that much and wanted to stay here with them?
It sure sounded like it.
But it really wasn't an option, keeping her here meant keeping two wands here, which was not only extra dangerous, but just asking for people to figure out what was going on. Not to mention her parents on the other side had to be worried sick about her, celeste didn't like to talk about her emotions but they had been so distracted they had barely check on her.
They had just gotten used to not talking to her they kinda forgot, celeste had been openly separated from their group for such a long time after all. It was of her own free will of course but them forgetting about her was kinda a result of that, even though she was more their friend then anything. Celeste had been doing her own thing most of the time, only talking to people when she needed to and not much else.
"Hey, you don't have to feel to bad about this ok? We should have been talking to you".
"Well it's just, i've been distancing myself for years from people and now...i'm worried i'm losing everyone...that you guys are still mad with me for the stuff i did before and all of that...and i'm not doing much and you know? I was just trying to be useful". She kicked the floor under her, "I'm sorry...you guys were just trying to get things done and-".
She growled and sky tried to calm her down, "I didn't realize how much this had been festering inside of you...". The girl grumbled, "Even luna has been more useful to this group these days then me...you always get along with each other so well and...and...eclipsa just thought it would give me something to do...one object would be fine since she already had plenty more...i didn't think...".
"We never meant to make you feel excluded...we're sorry about that, we'd been so busy with ourselves we didn't know any of this was even going on with you.", just earlier she had been talking about how fond she was getting of celeste too and now she was practically faced with reality, that she barely had spent any time with her and how she was barely social with anyone still.
She was fond of her, but celeste didn't know that, she had no reason to know that.
"Hey, me and judas, really appreciate how much you've come around to us, we really do. You had no business helping us and defending us recently, you're really strong, and i'm sorry that going back home is...how it is". The girl mumbled, "I never really talked to you guys either, about much of this, so...it's not all your fault, i thought i could impress you all and win you back or something...i just...never like to talk about these things...".
"Yeah, we all never really like to talk about things either, this kinda stuff is...hard to deal with, but talking about it does feel nice...and well...you don't only have to talk to landon". She looked up at sky, biting her lip, "Yeah, i know...i'm bad with people, i have always been bad with people...my parents would tell me that a lot of the time and try to get me to open up and be more social...but i just kinda ignored them...i ignored them a lot".
"Yeah, i guess if i was like that to my moms i would be worried about going home to see them again too", before sky went in further celeste pulled her in for a hug, " I really screwed up, here...and back home...how can i even go home after that...i can't deal with that...at least here i have people who understand me and i feel like want to be around me to an extent...".
"You sure you don't have...anyone back home who understands you?".
Sky had some doubts no one cared about celeste, she was unsocial but she could make friends and there had to be at least one person who flocked to her right?
Celeste was silent, playing with her hair and trying to avoid crying, "I...uh...". That was enough to tell sky there was more to this then she was letting on, but as they heard more steps and felt more rumbles, they might have to deal with more of this later, even as emotional as celeste was right now. "C'mon, let's go help get lucy real quick, and we can go over this whole deal".
"You shouldn't have to fix my issues...".
"Well I'm not fixing it, but like, you should talk about it".
Celeste looked her in the eyes as she dragged her off, towards the blundering sounds and movements of a rather large, and out of control, hound. Her guilt still welting up as she kept a hand on her wand, ready for use. She was still feeling so many mixed feelings, guilt, worry, sadness, anger, but there was no time to really process any of that when she had just royaly screwed up trying to make herself feel better.
She gripped onto sky a little tighter as they ran down the halls, avoiding the bustle of demons who were still trying to decorate.
She needed to focus, if she didn't clean up this mess soon, well-
Then there was no way she was going to feel better off.

16. Play.
Noticing the power shift created by Joey’s new form and role in his story, the Ink demon, the Prophet, and the now much more lucid searchers are interested in playing a few games with their old pals Henry and Joey. (Or not very interested, in the prophet and searchers’ cases) (Set in the AU where by yeeting Joey into the ink machine before going through the portal-door in the kitchen, Henry is accompanied by a chatty, useless, and overall insufferable little imp.)
The novelty of Joey accompanying him as a friendly, (Henry used that term loosely considering what he knew now.) tiny, cartoon demon wore off the second the story actually kicked into play. For starters, the former animator knew that whether either of them liked it or not, Joey was going to be clinging to him whenever he felt like it and following him like a lost puppy.
At the moment, the imp was running ahead of the animator, tapping his feet impatiently as he ‘waited’ for the old man to catch up before scurrying off again and occasionally tripping, but Henry knew that by the time the Ink Demon came into play, the little devil would use him as a meat shield.
Speaking of the two devils, Henry approached the freshly boarded up ink machine room which Joey was already peering into with an uneasy expression on his pale face. The animator also peered into the room, but instead of being greeted by the Ink Demon popping out of the hole and starting the chase, he watched the Ink demon pace about the small room with an expression he’d never seen on it before: a grimace.
In addition to the demon’s seemingly much more expressive face, he seemed to have a different approach to his role as a villain now that he had no script from Joey to follow; a villain who was much more dangerous than a smart animal.
“SAMMY! JACK! JOHNNY!”
The Ink Demon shouted and called up three figures of ink.
“Alright, now listen up you three good-for-nothing, sewer-water-brained Lackeys, the creators will be here ANY second now, and if I find out YOU STUPID INK BLOTS let them get away, I’m gonna wring your necks out like wet towels! Do I make myself clear?!”
“Yes, your vileness.” The swollen searcher with a bowler hat replied in a tired sounding tone.
“Clear as day, your assholiness.” The Prophet added, sounding like more of a smartass than he had ever been when he was alive.
“Y-yes… Lord Ink Demon… We’ll take good care of them all right! W-well not good, but- EEEP!” a third searcher that appeared to have teeth made out of piano keys meekly stuttered and hid from the Ink Demon’s untrusting glare from behind the safety of the Prophet’s legs.
“Good! Now listen up: they’ve started up our machine already so we don’t have much time to plan: So what do we do to stop them?”
“Uh... ...Same thing as always?”
“W-well… I’m sure that you’ll have the best plan out of all of us, your rottenness!”
“You can stick your hand out of the holes in the boards and watch them run and fall to their doom like a pair of stray sheep who don’t see the cliff.”
“NO! When Joey’s not in control, I’m calling the shots around here! And I say: We’re not going to run his stupid story through the machine any more! We’re doing something completely different, something that will really make ‘em suffer...”
“Henry!” Joey tugged on the man’s pant leg and whispered loud enough for him to hear, but not loud enough to grab the ink monsters’ attention. “He can think and talk! He’s not supposed to do that! Hell, aside from Sammy, none of them are supposed to be any smarter than feral animals! Not to mention, they all look different… I think that stuff on Sammy is supposed to be hair, but it’s never been THAT long before...”
The Ink Demon slapped his forehead and grumbled under his breath.
“Speak of the %*#@ing devils…” He then stared expectantly at the confused trio of searchers. “WELL?! THEY’RE HERE; RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR! ARE YOU GONNA MAUL ‘EM OR ARE YOU JUST GONNA SIT AROUND WAITING FOR THE COCKROACHES IN YOUR HEADS TO CHEW UP THE GARBAGE YOU CALL BRAINS FIRST?!”
“Why not take the pleasure in offing them yourself, your dicklessness?”
“Uh, Yeah, and when you fail at that, we’ll set up traps for ‘em downstairs. It’s not like they’re gonna escape the studio.”
The searcher with piano key teeth sheepishly nodded along.
“What?! But I had this cool dramatic entrance planned out and everything- ARGH! FINE!” The Ink Demon grumbled as he started breaking the boards. “If you want a mauling done right...”
Henry held Joey like a football as he ran through the rapidly flooding studio as the Ink Demon cackled manically throughout the chase.
“READY OR NOT HEEREEE I COOOOMEEEE~”
Henry found himself having to jump and duck to avoid a lot more falling debris and had felt the demon’s claws at his back at times, the situation was not helped by Joey screaming and crying the entire time.
He felt more dread than relief as he saw the exit coming in, no matter how close it got, he never got to it, like every time before, the floorboards broke underneath his feet. He always fell, and now, someone would try to catch him.
“HA! NOT WHEN I’M IN CHARGE, CREATOR!”
And would succeed.
It happened so fast that Joey couldn’t tell if he did it intentionally or not, but he had slipped out of Henry’s grip and had fallen down to the depths of the studio with a loud ‘splash’ announcing his arrival.
Announcing that he was alone, defenseless, and weak. In a studio that Joey now knew no longer was his to control, and was filled with many, many enemies who would fully take advantage of that.
“Y-you just need to stay c-calm, Joey...” He pulled himself up on a floating piece of stray wood and started paddling towards the valve. “There’s an ax nearby, all you need to do is get to it and you’ll be fine. you’ve seen Henry do this hundreds of times, you’ll be alright, you just need to believe in yourself.”
In spite of his reassuring speech, the scared little imp felt a large pit of dread in his gut. The former Music director, former lyricist, and the former organist would probably hesitate if it was Henry instead, but those three caught him... Joey shuddered just thinking about it.
As the ink drained he took his miraculously unstained bath robe off of the floor and put it back on. He was also missing his pants now, but it wasn’t like he could go back up to get them, and even if he could, he wasn’t going to fight the Ink Demon for a pair of fucking pants that were too big for him anyway.
“Get the ax, get back with Henry, get the ax, get back with Henry, get the ax, get back with Henry...”
He repeated to himself under his breath as he repeated his task of descending and turning valves as an attempt to keep himself from jumping at every twist and turn. The imp also kept his eyes peeled for anything that looked suspicious or out of place, fearing the looming threat of the searchers’ traps.
The ax and the room was exactly how Joey had left it, not a single thing changed, which did make him feel relieved.
When he moved forward, he didn’t find any evidence that Sammy was worshiping Bendy at all when in the shrine room, there were plenty of ritualistic circles, plenty of cryptic messages, but they all had the little devil as a thing that was meant to be sacrificed, not as something worth the former musician’s worship.
“Of all the runs for Sammy to not worship Bendy...” He groaned. “It HAD to be the one where I became an imp...”
He wasn’t sure whether he was grateful or even more afraid when he didn’t see Sammy moving the cutout around.
------
When Joey got to the music department itself, he heard the sounds of laughter, pool balls clacking, cheers and glasses clinking in the distance. Following the sounds, he found the three searchers lounging around the pool table in the middle of a conversation and a game.
The upbeat atmosphere fizzled out when the three noticed him. The Swollen searcher muttered something about the game just getting good, the Piano key-toothed searcher groaned about Joey spoiling all the fun as usual, and the masked mad maestro smiled at him.
Not in a sarcastic or forced way like how his human self smiled at people, it seemed genuine enough. But it also wasn’t a warm or kind smile, it seemed more ...hungry.
“Hello little Lamb.” The prophet stood up and got into the imp’s face, “Are you interested in playing a game with us?”
‘Oh fuck, he’s still crazy.’ Joey thought to himself. “N-no thanks!” He smiled and waved hoping that he didn’t look as terrified as he felt. “I’ve got a friend of mine to get back to and I really don’t have a lot of time to play.”
The imp dashed out of the break room and slammed the door shut behind him, completely unaware that the merriment had returned to the room.
“Thank god he didn’t go for it.” Johnny sighed. “If The Ink Demon found out about this room because of that little runt...”
“I told you it would work.” The prophet took the mask back off and set it aside on a crate. “...But he’ll probably come back to pester us into trying to help him find Henry, maybe even take up the game offer.”
“Yeah...” Jack poured himself another shot. “Kinda surprised that you didn’t jump at the chance to make his life hell though.”
“Less is more.” The prophet hit the eight ball and watched the rest of them knock against each other. “If you get one big punch left to linger, it hurts like a bitch, if you get hundreds of them, you grow numb to the pain. But I don’t think that Inky understands that.”
“Well, at least he can have fun playing his game of cat and mouse with Joey...”
“Yeah.” Johnny raised his glass. “Cheers to those two being each others’ problems instead of ours!”
“Cheers!”

ONE HUNDRED FOUR - THE BATTLE CONTINUES
LEGACY: A Tony Stark Daughter Story
MASTERLIST
< previous
Word Count: 1,425ish
Summary: Everyone’s fighting their hardest to defeat Thanos’ army.
~~~
Once Thor had freed us, we continued on fighting. Out of no where, images started flashing through my mind, causing me to collapse onto my knees on the ground.
“Bailey!” I heard both Bucky and Steve shout.
A giant purple man, who could only be Thanos, fighting off Iron Man, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and others. They were attacking him from all sides, using the portals Strange creates to attack him.
As I was kneeling on the ground, Steve and Bucky came over to cover me.
“Bailey!” Steve tried to get my attention as he fought off the onslaught of creatures.
“You need to block them out! No matter what’s happening!”
“I’m trying!” I painfully responded. I used all the strength I could mentally muster up to block them out. Steve helped me up and as he’s did so, accidentally pressed the button on my bracelet and my suit formed around me.
“Well that will make me feel somewhat better,” he said.
I forced my helmet to disappear. “I’m sure that you did that on purpose,” I teased as I shot the creatures that were coming up from behind him.
“You’re injured.” He reached up to touch the dried blood on the side of my face.
“I heal, remember?” We moved back into the middle of the battle, joining Thor and his tree friend.
“New haircut?” Steve panted as he asked Thor.
“Notice you’ve copied my beard,” Thor grinned as he mentioned to his beard. Steve nodded wearily as he gestured at his own face.
“And Lady Bailey, sure is nice to see your skills on the battlefield.”
“Likewise, Thor!” I shouted as I continued fighting off the creatures. “It’s been awhile!”
“It sure has. By the way, this is a friend of mine, Tree,” Thor gestured to the tree that was currently impaling three of the creatures with his branch of an arm.
“I am Groot!” The tree snarled.
“I… I am Steve Rogers.” Steve pointed to himself, still panting as he spoke.
I simply rolled my eyes and kept on fighting. These creatures were seemingly coming out of no where, they were never endless. Like, when you killed one, two more would take it’s place. A shiver ran down my spine as HYDRA’s motto bounced around my head. I was taken out of my thoughts when the ground began to shake and a rumbling could be heard coming from the tree line beyond the barrier. I looked up to see sets of massive, motorized spiked wheels coming out of the trees and heading our way.
“Fall back! Fall back now!” T’Challa shouted.
We all began to fall back, but continued fighting until Wanda appeared in front of the spiked wheels and lifted them off the ground.
“Guys,” Sam tried to get our attention from over the comms. “We got a Vision situation here.”
“Somebody get to Vision!” Steve shouted.
“I got him,” Bruce replied. Finally figuring out how to use his thrusters, he made a beeline for Vision.
“On my way,” Wanda also replied but was stopped.
I looked over to her and noticed that the female alien had cornered her. Seeing that Nat and Okoye were on their way to her, I put my helmet down and flew towards Vision’s location. Bruce called for more back up just as I arrived. I could hear him trying to change into the Hulk as I charged at the alien, shooting him in all the places that seemed to be his weak spots. Bruce jumped up and tried to deliver an effective punch to the alien but the blow was caught by the alien. The alien punched back, knocking Bruce to the ground. The alien changed his armor to a pointed weapon and lunged for Bruce.
“Bruce!” I shouted, noticing one of the Hulk buster arms detached near him. “The hand!” Bruce grabbed the detached arm out of the water, impaled the alien, and then slapped the controls.
“See ya!” Bruce said.
The repulsers in the Hulk buster arm fired, taking the alien high into the air. He got dragged against the forcefield until the arm exploded, killing the alien with it.
“Hulk, we got a lot to figure out, pal,” Bruce sighed.
“He’s terrified,” I said. “I’ve felt it.”
“You what? Bailey, what exactly are your powers?”
I flew off to find Vision fighting another alien, one that I hadn’t seen before, before Bruce could question me anymore. The alien plunged his blade into Vision again. I began shooting at the alien, but I got thrown back, my body hitting hard against a rock.
“I thought you were formidable, machine,” The alien taunted Vision. I tried to get up, but my head was spinning. “But you’re dying, like any man.”
He yanked the blade out and Vision collapsed. Before the alien could get his fingers around the mind stone in Vision’s head, Steve tackled him at full speed.
“Get outta here!” Steve shouted at Vision as he exchanged blows with the alien. “Go!”
I painfully watched as Steve kept blocking the aliens blows with his shields. Soon after the alien’s staff was knocked out of its hands, Steve was thrown over a fallen tree and pinned, the alien’s hand at his throat. Even with his enhanced abilities, Steve was struggling until Vision pierced the alien with its own blade. Vision dropped the alien’s corpse before exhaustedly collapsing himself.
“I thought I told you to go,” Steve said as he helped Vision back up.
“We don’t trade lives, Captain,” Vision used Steve’s words against him.
As I tried to stand up, images bombarded my vision and I collapsed to the ground once again. Tony was taking on Thanos, basically by himself. I watched them fight back and forth, Tony’s suit taking the biggest hits of all and slowly falling apart. Tony used what’s left of his right glove to form a short sword, which is easily caught by Thanos. He snapped if off clean and drove it through Tony’s left side.
I gasped as the tears streamed down my face. “Dad!” I accidentally shouted in fear over the comms.
I watched Doctor Strange hand the time stone over to Thanos before the images faded.
My helmet disappeared and I saw Steve running towards me. He knelt down, grabbed my shoulders and tried to shake some sense into me.
“I told you to block them out!” Steve frantically said.
“I… did…” I panted. “He… D-dad…”
“Is he alive?” I didn’t answer, too concentrated on trying not to have a panic attack. Steve shook me a bit again. “Bailey, is Tony alive?”
I shook my head. “I don’t know…” I looked up at Steve with tearful eyes. “I don’t feel him anymore… The connection broke once he was— stabbed… Oh my gosh! He was stabbed!” Steve helped me up to my feet before holding me against his chest as I failed to hold back a few tears. “Thanos is only missing one stone now.”
“We’re going to stop this. We have to.”
Wanda finally showed up and rushed towards Vision. Steve and I turned to watch their exchange, still keeping our arms securely around each other. It was hurting me to see the two in so much pain. They deserved to be happy. We all did. And Vision never asked to have the mind stone in him.
“Are you okay?” Wanda asked. Vision seemed to flinch in pain before he could answer. “What? What is it?”
“He’s here,” Vision stated. The wind picked up and the air around us felt, strange. Eerie, even. Steve let me go and looked around, putting a finger to his comms.
“Everyone, on my position,” Steve commanded. “We have incoming.” He turned to me with worried eyes. “You need to go.”
I quickly shook my head. “Not a chance. It’s too late.” We were joined by Nat, Sam, T’Challa, and Okoye before he could respond.
“What the hell?” Nat questioned.
Blue-black clouds appeared before Thanos stepped forward through them.
I instantly went into his mind. He truly believed what he was doing was right. He was feeling pain, he had lost someone. His daughter.
“You need to get out of here, B!” Steve urged.
“Not a chance!” I fought back. “Not when my father could be—“ I stopped before I could say the words. Tony could not be dead. I couldn’t believe that. “I’m not going to stop until this is over.”
“Cap. That’s him.” Bruce stated, drawing in Steve’s full attention.
“Eyes up. Stay sharp,” Steve commanded as he readied his shields.

Meeting Again~ Ratchet x Alister's Daughter! Lombax! Reader
Requested by the lovely @Teaganlombax: "How about Ratchet x Alister's daughter! Reader?"
This is Lombax reader obviously. Don't forget to choose what the reader is in requests. It makes the authors hard what to choose. -_-
Warning: I never played Crack In Time but I do saw the clips where Ratchet met Alister and the final battle.
Note: the pic goes to Insomniac Games!
--------------------------------------------
There was a beautiful young 18-year-old Lombax named Y/N Azimuth. That's right. She's Alister's daughter. She looked a lot like her dad except she had H/C hair and E/C eyes. Her father was a Four-Bolt Magistrate of the Lombax Praetorian Guard and an elder councilman for the Center for Advanced Lombax Research. The General lived once in Fastoon, the home planet of the Lombaxes. He was Kaden's best friend, who was Ratchet's father. But did you know that Y/N and Ratchet met each other as babies? Y/N was only born a week later so Ratchet was the oldest. Both Kaden and Alister were so happy when their kids were born.
Life was pretty normal until Taychon appeared with his big fat ass lies. He started to brainwash the Lombaxes with his plans. Kaden was the only that didn't trust that evil Cragmite. He warned Alister to not trust him, but the General didn't listen. And thanks to that, Alister made a huge mistake...
Kaden punched Alister in the face and was so angry at him. Taychon attacked the Lombaxes with his army. No one saw it coming. Many Lombaxes tried to hide, escape, and help others. Many were not so lucky and got killed. Lombaxes got their hands on the Dimensionator and escaped through the portal. They were in a Lombax Dimension. Kaden helped other Lombaxes to escape while his wife hid Ratchet. Once Kaden came back to get his wife and son, he relizead that she's gone. So Kaden went to get his son. Luckily, he managed to send his son to Solana Galaxy. Kaden was soon killed after that by Taychon. If you're wondering what happened to Alister, he took his daughter with him. His wife was killed. Alister flew to planet Torren IV that was located in Polaris Galaxy just like Fastoon. Alister at least found a place to live with his daughter. He trained her and watched her grow up.
That was years ago. Y/N was 18 now and does her best to help her father. She even wanted to impress him that she's strong and smart. She was busy cleaning her room while her father went off to check something. He told Y/N that he saw something so he went to check.
"Dear, can you come out, please? I have someone to introduce to you," It was Alister.
Someone, to introduce? That barely ever happened. That caught Y/N be surprised. She wasn't gonna lie. It was boring without having visitors. It would've been nice if she and Alister had some time to time.
Y/N came out and walked towards her dad and an... Lombax! A male Lombax around her age! Y/N's eyes grew wide in shock and in surprise. She saw that the Lombax had the same expression. But what was more shocking was that the new Lombax blushed. He couldn't help but find Y/N beautiful. Y/N was blushing too.
"Dear, meet Ratchet. Ratchet, meet my daughter, Y/N."
Ratchet and Y/N both shook hands while giving each other shy smiles. Alister couldn't help but chuckle. Once the greeting was over, Alister started to explain about Kaden, that Ratchet and Y/N met each other when they were babies and other stuff. Alister even gave his amulet to Ratchet so that he can see the pic of his father.
"I have so many questions. How do you know him?" Ratchet asked.
"Kaden and I were good friends. He was a great Lombax. Smart as they come. He was the first outsider to theorize that the Great Clock even existed."
Y/N was amazed by what she heard from her father. So Kaden was the first outsider to theorize that the Great Clock even existed? That's super cool!
"And this 'clock,' you think Clank's in there?"
Y/N looked at Ratchet. "Who's Clank?"
Ratchet looked at her and couldn't help but blush again. He then explained who Clank was and what happened to him. Y/N couldn't help but feel sorry. "I'm sorry to hear that."
Ratchet gave her a small smile that it was ok. It wasn't her fault after all.
Once Alister spoke, the two Lombaxes turned to Alister. "Clock is a rather crude translation of the runes on Quantos. Specifically, they say 'Keeper of time.' But, yes, I suspect he is." By that time, Alister was at a big chest and opened. "You see, according to Fongoid lore, the Zoni are the guardians of time. If your friend is connected to them, he must play some part in its operation." Alister then looked through the big chest. "Now, where are those blasted things?"
Ratchet was now looking at some papers that were hanging. So Zoni's took Clank? Ratchet was wondering what Clank was playing some parts. That's when he realized something. "Wait, I thought my father was the only one to stay behind when the Lombaxes left. Why didn't you go with them?" He was now facing Alister.
"Sometimes the universe has a cruel sense of humor," Alister said. What did he mean by that? Then the white Lombax found something that he had been looking for. "Ah! Here they are. Your father's Hoverboots. Ready for your first lesson?" He showed Kaden's Hoverboots to Ratchet.
Ratchet nodded with a smile.
"My daughter tested it out once. She's good at it."
Ratchet then looked amazed at Y/N, who blushed a bit.
Skip where the final battle holds~
"So, I can't talk you out of this, can I?" Ratchet asked. He was sad.
"Ratchet, we have been on many adventures, but the clock needs someone to protect it. It is what I was built for," Clank said and stuck his metal hand out to his best friend.
Ratchet then kneeled down and pulled Clank in a hug. Clank was shocked but accepted the hug. They both were best friends that never left each other. It was pretty sad, hard, and difficult when you had to leave your best friend for a good reason. Clank wanted to protect the clock.
Y/N smiled sadly at the scene. Even though when she never had a best friend, because she was only a baby when Fastoon got attacked, she knew that it was hard for Ratchet and Clank.
However, Alister was different. "Wait, so that's it? What about the Lombaxes?"
"They're not in danger. They've just moved on. And we'll find them. But the past stays where it is. Come on, pal. I'll walk you." He then looked at Y/N. "Wanna come?"
Y/N smiled. "Sure." She then went with Ratchet and Clank.
"You were never a sidekick. You know that, right?" Ratchet said.
"I always thought that you were the sidekick," Clank joked.
Y/N couldn't help but laugh. Ratchet and Clank joined too in the laughter. But the white Lombax behind was suddenly angry.
"Where are you going? This is your responsibility. You can't just walk away! The Lombaxes need us! Don't walk away from me! I said stop!" Then Alister shot his electricity towards Ratchet and it hit his chest! Y/N and Clank stopped in their tracks, shocked. Ratchet felt weak while holding his chest. Just as Y/N and Clank reached for Ratchet, it was... too late. He fell.
"Ratchet!" Y/N and Clank shouted. They both turned around to face Alister, but he wasn't happy. At all. How could he do this?! Y/N just met Ratchet again after so many years and now that?! Her father turned into a monster! He killed the hero that so many people knew! That's when Alister shot his weapon again towards Clank, who quickly moved out of the way.
Y/N and Clank looked at each other and nodded. They need to control the clock to set 6 minutes earlier to save Ratchet. Without him, they can't save the world.
Once Clank managed to turn the clock 6 minutes early, it was set in stop-motion. They saw Ratchet's shocking expression while the electric from Alister was close to him. Clank and Y/N looked at each other and nodded. Y/N ran at Ratchet and pinned him down just in time. The electric missed him.
Ratchet blushed bright red that Y/N was on top of him. Once both of them were up, they looked at Alister, who had an angry expression. Ratchet was shocked and serious. He knew that it was time to stop the General before it was too late, because if Alister managed to activate the clock, then the whole universe would die! It was a bomb! A trap!
Skip~
Ratchet, Y/N, and Clank managed to win against Alister. Y/N was sad that she fought against her own father, but she had no choice! Clank clearly said that they couldn't let him touch the lever.
Alister fell on his knees and arms defeated while Ratchet ran towards the lever, and tried to stop. The lever was big so Ratchet needed to use his whole power.
"No! What are you doing?!" Alister asked in an angry tone.
"Come on!" Ratchet said as he broke the lever.
"It's not working. Why isn't it working?!" Alister didn't understand.
"Because it's not a time machine, Alister! The clock isn't meant to alter time! Only keep it!" Ratchet answered angrily, hoping that he would finally understand.
"Thirty seconds until total system failure."
Alister had a guilty expression on his face, while Y/N and Ratchet tried to go further, but they were shot back.
"I'm so sorry," Alister said.
Ratchet and Y/N were about to try again, but Alister came to them, stopping them. "No. Let me."
Wait, what was he planning?
"What are you going to do?"
Once Alister arrived at his spot, he turned to look at Y/N with a sad and proud smile. "I'm proud of you, my daughter." He then looked towards Ratchet. "Take care of yourself, Ratchet. Please, take care of my daughter."
Y/N had tears in her eyes. Her father was going to sacrifice his life in order to stop the clock. Y/N watched how her dad used his weapon to replace the lever and started to push. Once Alister managed to push it fully, Ratchet quickly grabbed Y/N and ran together with Clank. Everything went black...
Once Ratchet and Clank were awake, it was silence. Was it over? There were only ticking sounds of the clock. Ratchet and Clank both stood up and look behind them. They were in shock once the saw Y/N crying silently, holding Alister Azimuth, who was now dead, on her lap. Her ears were dropped into sadness.
Ratchet felt sadness through his heart. He lost someone who knew about his father. Not only that, but Y/N lost her father as well, by sacrificing himself.
Ratchet walked towards Y/N. "Y/N?"
Y/N looked up with tears in her eyes. "He's gone..."
Ratchet looked with sadness. He was about to comfort Y/N, until he saw the amulet open, showing the photo of Alister and Kaden. Ratchet kneeled down and picked it up.
"He did a brave thing, Y/N, Ratchet. You both should be proud of him," Clank said.
"I-I am." That's only what Y/N said. She was proud of her father, but she wasn't ready to lose him. But if Alister didn't do that, then the universe could've been dead for good. She lost her mother while Fastoon got attacked, then years later, her father was now dead too. Alister was for sure with Y/N's mother now, both watching over their daughter and Ratchet, together with Ratchet's family.
Everyone was silent, not knowing what to say since Alister was gone...
When everyone came back to their sentence, they all took ready to go back home, now that the universe was rescued once again. Y/N took her father's weapon with her, in order to feel connected to him. Ratchet kept the amulet since Y/N had another one. They buried Alister somewhere peaceful and they all went back home. Ratchet let Y/N live with him since she had nowhere else to go. She visited her father's grave almost every day. Ratchet and Y/N started dating soon after, making their parents proud and happy.
It was sad to write this one. Sorry that it took so long. I got another request so hopefully, soon I can update fast. I'm planning to write one-shots of Kaden and Alister soon enough so stay tuned!

5 years later...
You woke up in the grassy fields of Wakanda, straining your eyes against the bright sun. Slowly, you sat up, groaning at the dull ache that was everywhere in your body. What the hell happened?
Across the clearing, you see Bucky attempting to stand, almost falling over onto Sam, who was still sprawled facedown in the dirt. “Watch where you’re going, you moron.” Groaned out Sam. Behind you, you hear a squawk of outrage. “I am Groot!” You turn and see Groot, untangling himself from a pile of branches. Next to you, T’Challa and Wanda slowly sat up, surveying their surroundings.
Slowly, your eyes met each others.
“What the fu-“ began Bucky.
Suddenly, a portal appeared in the middle of the clearing and Dr. Strange emerged. “What are you-“ “No time to explain. Come with me. NOW.” Interrupted Steven. He grabbed all of us and dragged us into the portal, and we emerged in the ruins of what used to be the Avengers Compound.
You were torn out of your devastated thoughts by a voice calling your name. “Y/N! Y/N!”
You turn and see Peter coming out of another portal, stumbling towards you on unsteady legs. “Peter!” You ran to him, meeting him halfway as he enveloped you in a hug. “T-thank god you’re here Y/N. I don’t know these other people very well.” You smiled, ruffling his hair before turning back to he compound. Before you was a sight that made both pride and terror swell in your chest. Steve Rogers was standing in the middle of the field, facing down the entirety of Thanos’ army.
Around you, more and more portals opened, revealing humans and aliens alike. All here to destroy Thanos. With the other Avengers, you formed a line besides Steve. The line between good and evil. The line between life and death.
“Avengers.” This was your life, your family, and you’ll fight for it. “Assemble!”
You fought for what feels like hours, only stopping to embrace a friend. Tony cried when he saw you, holding you in his arms. You saw in his eyes that there was something he wanted to tell you, but there was no time.
You were almost overpowered by one of Thanos’ monsters when all of the sudden, your opponent just vanished. You looked around in confusion as Thanos’ soldiers all faded to ash.
Your joy faded when you saw Tony’s slumped figure leaning against what used to be the compound walls. You rushed to him, everyone else moving aside for you. They know how much you meant to him. “Oh Tony...” you whispered, trying to hold in the sob in your chest. A red eyed Peter moved away from Tony. “Hey pretty girl.” He whispered, repeating the words he had said when he first met you. “Hey yourself mister.” You responded, letting out a sound that was something between a laugh and a sob. “Guess what?” He asked. “What?” With a pained grin, he said “I have a daughter.” Your red rimmed eyes went wide and you turned to look at Pepper. “A-a daughter?” “Her name is Morgan. And she’s gonna be so happy to finally meet her big sister.” Said Tony, the smile fading from his face. “I’m sorry. For not protecting you better. For letting them say all that shit about you.” Tears were flowing freely down your face now. “None of it is your fault.” You whisper, voice as brittle as a newborn’s bones. “Thank you... for being like a father to me.” Tony gave you a soft smile that you had never seen before. He looked at Rhodey and grabbed his pal’s hand. “Take care of my girls.”
You moved aside for Pepper, who moved forward to grab her husband’s hands. You take a step back and Peter reaches for your hand. You turn around, unable to watch as Tony and Pepper whispered between themselves. A few seconds of silence followed and Pepper let out the whimper she had been holding in. He was gone. Unable to watch as they moved his body, you ran and collided with a pair of warm arms. You looked up and were greeted with a pair of lightning blue eyes.
“Y-Y/N?” He asked, voice hoarse. You didn’t have time to answer as he gathered you into his chest. He felt comfortable, familiar. He smelled like blood and sweat and the lilac soap you had gotten him because his mother had loved it. He felt softer than you had remembered. He felt like home.
As Thor lifted you up and carried you off the battlefield, you didn’t see the other pair of tear-filled blue eyes staring at your back. Or the other heart that you had just crushed in your hands.
Steve watched as Thor carried you away. He had wanted to run to you, to swallow you in his arms, to kiss you until your lips were swollen. He had missed you so, so much and during the last 5 years, he had finally realized how much he loved you. How much he needed you. But now, looking at your peaceful face, he realized that you didn’t feel the same anymore. He lost you, and there was only one way to get you back.
A few days later...
Steve stood on the raised platform, suited up and carrying a briefcase with the 6 stones inside. “Where to first?” Asked Bruce. “Stark Tower, 2015.” Responded Steve before being sucked into the void.
Steve landed near the building he had once lived in, walking inside the familiar lobby and getting into the elevator. He punched in the 8th floor. His favorite floor in the tower. His and Y/N’s floor.
As he got off the elevator, he could hear yelling coming from their room. He was about to go punch the daylights out of the guy who dared to yell at his girl when he froze. It was his voice. “You will never be like Peggy!” He heard himself say. It was true, Y/N isn’t like Peggy. She’s better. Fierce but gentle at the same time. Beautiful, so so beautiful, and she doesn’t even know it.
Steve’s thought were interrupted by a figure rushing by him to get to the elevator. Y/N. The elevator closed before Steve had time to gather his thoughts, but he knew where she was going. Her old room.
Steve took the stairs down to the 6th floor, where your old room was. The second that he stepped foot in the brightly lit hallway, he was overcome with memories. This was the place where he had realized that he loved you. Slowly, he walked up to your door and gave a simple knock. You flung the door open and anger flared again in your eyes as you saw him. You opened your mouth to yell but it was already too late.
Steve’s lips collide with yours, full of the want and the list that had brewed in him over the last 7 years. You tried to struggle feebly, but he could feel you melting his hands. It had been so long. So long since he last touched you, held you. So long since you had been his.
He pushed you back until your back was against the wall. You were trapped. You stared into his dark eyes, so different from the Steve you knew. “Y-you’re not the Steve I know, are you?”
Steve let out a dark chuckle. “Does it matter, babygirl?” You shivered as you heard the nickname fall from his lips. It had been so long since he called you that.
Steve planted his hand on your throat, squeezing until you were breathing heavily. “You have no idea how long I’ve waited for this.” He growled, and latched himself to your neck. He hovered over the spot where your neck connects with your shoulder, biting down until you felt something wet drip down on your neck.
Steve lifted his head, the look in his eyes making your knees weak. He swallowed you in another kiss and you could taste your blood, slick and irony, on his lips.
“Strip.”
“Steve-“ you began. “That wasn’t a question. Now, strip.”
You decided to make him pay for making you wait.
“No.” You say with a cheeky smile.
With one movement, your wrists were secured above your head. “What did you say?” Steve whispered, eyes darkening to the color of storm clouds.
“N-no.” You tried to keep the flush off your cheeks, but you could already feel the heat between your thighs.
As if he could read your mind, Steve lifted your skirt and rested a hand between your thighs, stroking your clit through your panties. You bit back a moan, but Steve knew.
“Do you want this?” He asked.
You shook your head, unable to speak.
“Than why.” Without warning, his hand dipped under your already ruined panties to stroke your folds. “Are you so fucking wet?”
You couldn’t hold back your moans this time, and a whimper left your throat as Steve stroke slowly. So, so slowly.
Steve felt a smug grin spread across his face at the sound of your small noise. He slipped his hand out and slammed you against the wall. “Now strip.”
“Y-yes sir.” You say. Slowly, you unbuttoned the dress you wore for him, revealing his favorite red bra. Slowly, you lifted your eyes to meet his, and the desire you saw made shivers run down your spine.
“Come here.” He gestured for you to crawl to where he sat on the bed and slowly, you got down on your knees and moved towards the bed. You kneeled at his feet, awaiting further instructions. Steve cupped your cheek and you couldn’t help but nestle into him. He yanked you up by your hair and you gasped, savoring the pain. He unbuckled your bra, tossing them aside as he reached to tear of your panties.
“Get on the bed and spread your legs.” He demanded, and you immediately complied. Laying on the bed, naked and spread wide open for his eyes to explore, you realized how vulnerable, how totally at his mercy you were.
Steve moved to your dresser, pulling out one of his old ties and your eyes widened as you started trembling. He climbed back on the bed, grabbing your wrists and tying them to the headboard. “Tonight, you do what I say, when I say it. Understood kitten?”
Still trying to fight his dominance, you remained silent until you felt a slap land on your pussy. “Do. You. Understand?” Growled Steve.
“Y-yes sir!” You answer, letting out a yelp as another slap landed. Steve let out a dark chuckle. “Good girl.”
His fingers start tracing your lips. “I’ve missed them.” He whispers. “And these.” Running his hands down your chest to pinch your peaked nipples. Moans were coming out of you freely now, and they increased in volume as his hands massaged your sensitive breasts.
Finally, Steve moved down to sit between your legs. He blew hot hair across your glistening cunt, and you bucked your hips, trying to get him to touch you.
“Not so fast babygirl.” He says. “You have to ask nicely.”
You let out a whimper as he ran a finger across your folds before putting the finger into his mouth. “P-please Steve.” You beg, not caring anymore at this point.
“Please Steve what?” He smirks. Knowing that he’s got you where he wants you. “Fuck me. Claim me. Destroy me.” You almost scream out. Steve unbuckled his pants, his hand stroking his length as he positioned himself at your entrance. “See? Good things happen when you obey me kitten.”
You didn’t have time to respond before his length was sinking into you. You had forgot how big he was, how good he felt inside you. By the time he was fully sated in you, you were already seeing stars. Moans and grunts filled the air, as he slammed into you again and again.
“Look at me.” Growled out Steve. “I want to see everything you have when I’m inside you. Don’t ever shut me out.” Your eyes flew open, finding his liquid blue ones immediately.
Your hands went flat against the mattress as he withdrew and thrust forward again and again. This is what you’ve wanted for so long, Steve on top of you, inside you, having absolute power you. The steady rhythm he set sending waves of pleasure through your body. Your body was taut, so close to the edge.
“Please Steve, may I cum?” You moaned out. “You don’t cum till I tell you to.“ he said with a slap to your ass.
He spread you even wider and pounded into you again and you let out a pathetic whimper. “Steve, p-please!”
“Say my name kitten. Who do you belong to?” Steve demanded.
“You.” You scream out. “You, Steve. Only you.”
Satisfaction blazed in Steve’s eyes. “That’s right baby. Mine.” He slipped his hand between you thighs, stroking your clit as he continued to thrust into you.
“Come.” He growled out. “Give it to me Y/N.”
You let out a sharp cry as your orgasm flashed, explosive and so, so intense. Steve’s eyes glittered as you writhed underneath him and he went taut against you. You went wild around him as he spilled into you and both of you let out a groan as you rode out your orgasms.
Lowering himself to lie besides her, he pressed a kiss to your forehead and whispered. “You’re mine. Now and forever.”
Okay, I totally got carried away with that one. Thanks for reading bbys!☺️😘

Hey guys, Lena I’m Not Villain Luthor wants to show she is a GOOD PERSON, that’s why she is going to take the Dark Core Personality Test!
Lena, please.
*Lena pours a glass with a 40 year old whiskey*
Absolutely no! I’have been harassed for my whole poor life only because I am a Luthor! :(
No, only because I’m a Luthor. They totally ignore the all good deeds I have done so far, like inventing a device that can identify aliens or super big ass portal that can end the hunger by bringing a hostile Daxamite army to Earth *I mean logic, if they kill all people, there will be no hunger right?*
But I have good reasons and rights!
Kara you are so awesome, so amazing friend, bringing me Lex’ diary won’t be a problem for such a amazing superhero, right? :))))
Fuck you Jack, I will move to NAtion City and makes friends with Supergirl!
I’m mean duh? I suffered enough!
of everyone else so I can screw them later :)
I mean I will scream at Supergirl in front of 20 DEO agents, but it’s an exception. Later I will pretend we are besties so I can use her :)
Aww, Kara I like you so much :) There is no bad blood between us, muah ;*
Including caging you in a cage made of a poison that will make your skin feels like it’s on fire :)
Especially about me, so I won’t too :(
Where people will finally recognize my amazing self and admit they were wrong all along.
Of course and on MY rules.
I can even pretend we are friends or make your lover to put a knife to his throat :)
They should all love me. And steal things for me. And help me every time I need it.
Supergirl deserved bashing in DEO for accusing me, sniff!, without evidences of producing kryptonite! Oh, hi Edge, how’s life?
Hi Lex! *shoots* But sometimes you need to prepare the revenge. Slowly. Hi, bithc who stole my boyfriend!
I don’t know what “borrowing” is, I just take whatever I need, like Jack’s researches or that medalion. All to make the world better :)
Obviously. But being a a good manipulator should have been kept in secret.
Especially because your friends are lying two-faced bastards and when you have never lied to anyone :(((
Community? There is no community, only me. Secondly, oh yes, I would PAY for it.
Or even three as long as it will lead to what I want.
They would simply not understand :( Like James, Kara and Alex :(
Duh, I deserve respect, admiration, love, support and everything else for all my effort of trying to make humans better than shit.
Rules and law are for weak.
Hi Edge :) Hi Eve :) Hi Lex :) Hi Kara :) Hi Andrea :)
I need to pretend we are still pals even if I want to destroy you? Easy peasy.
Mommyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Kara, you didn’t tell me how amazing I am for too long :(
Obviosuly. Kryptonite? ME? Producing it? HOW DARE YOU.
Well, I’m a genius, amazing CEO, good and all people want to hurt me for no reason.
Since my elementary school days! :)
Business is business, losers.
Damn Andrea, how fucking dumb you are. Lol, Kara took me to the frotress, lol. And people wonder why i use them :)
I mean, my social status is high, I’m Lena, duh. But they still need to recognize my amazing good self.
*sips whiskey*
Hi Lex, hi Eve, Hi erm... Robert? Ru... Rudd? Russel? whatever - Andrea’s boyfriend, hi Andrea, Kara awww!
No one with feelings would have hurt me. All people are like that, that’s why I’m going to make them puppets without free will. Aka slaves. Amazing, I know.
Edge? Trying to outbuy me? ME?!
Yes. That’s why I’m going to change them all. Without their consents.
I even created virtual reality to kill Kara :))))) And I did it :))) Countless times :)
Bitch please, I stole Jack’s research, Andrea’s medalion. Stealing something small? Not me.
I’m made for biggest things. Like saving humanity or my shitty friends even when they didn’t ask for saving.
*sips whiskey*
I’m just better and I know what peasents want.
So, the results!
Lena:
The best thing is, that I didn’t even exaggerate that much the answers. This is Lena Luthor ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Best Friend
Best friend!Natasha romanoff x reader , and tiny pit of Steve x reader
W.C:1600+
A.N: ENDGAME SPOILR. This just you missing your best friend Nat.
-
“Nat Stop!” You shrieked running through the hallways of the new compound.
“I told you to stop meddling.” The red head chased you around, throwing her sandal right at your back.
“Ow, you hoe!” A giggle slip through your lips, turing a sharp corner of the hallway, your best friend right behind.
“I got you!” Nat threw herself on top of you, she started to jab her finger on your side, knowing your weakness.
“No please stop!” Tears starting to form in your eyes, kicking and squirming trying to get her off.
“Tell me you’ll stop meddling and I will.” Her green eyes filled with joy, never intending to stop.
“Never!” Screaming at the top of your lungs, but quickly regretting it as she had no intention of stopping. “Okay , okay I’ll stop!” Taking a deep breath in.
Quickly Nat stopped but still remained on top of you, lifting her perfectly plucked eyebrow. “Are you sure?” holding her pointer finger up.
“Yes, just please stop.” Begging with everything you had.
“Fine.” Getting up and extending her hand to help you up, which you galdy took.
“But I was right, right? Did bruce like you or did Bruce like you?”
“Y/n!” The chasing began again.
-
“Tasha?”
“Yeah,babe?” She looked up from her phone.
“Promise you won't get mad.” You chewing on inside of your cheek.
“I won't, now tell me.” She had now put her phone down, putting all of your undivided attention on you know.
“Do you ever think about kids, like ever having kids?”
There was a hesitation to her answer, not knowing how to answer truthfully.
“For a long time I thought I wasn’t worthy of love, always thinking that I was meant to be alone, but then I found you guys, my family. Little by little the red in my ledger started to fade, started to think about having a family of my own ,weather it was just with a husband or maybe adopting, for a second a thought of letting myself be loved along with loving crossed my mind and it didn’t scare me.” Tears threatening to spill over.
“Oh baby.” Pulling her close to your chest. “ You’ll always have a part in my family.”
“Your just as single as me.” She let out a laugh between tears.
“Shame, me and my imaginary husband had heckin cute kids and a cute dog, but I guess I’ll have to find a new godmother.”
“No, I’ll join.” Nat giggled into your chest. “I love you.”
“And I love you.”
-
“Bottoms up bitches!” You yelled at your two best friends bring a try of nine shots for the three of you.
“No more,please.” Wanda begged, already tapping out for the night.
“C’mon you baby!” Yelled Nat, shoving a shot on into her hand. “Drink!” The two of you chanted until Wanda finally threw back the shot, squeezing her eyes shut once the burning liquor passed her throat.
“My mother always told me not to give into peer pressure, but here I’am.” Wanda smiled down at the empty shot glass in her hand, a small memorie of her mom crossed her mind.
“Mom’s are always right, but tonight ,we aren't listening to them!” Shoving the next shot into her hand, and seconds later your song came on, Truth Hurts by Lizzo.
“Let’s go.” Nat grabbed the two of you by the wrist and made your way into the center of the dance floor, the three of you danced like nobody was watching, dancing up and down, head bobbing and hair flowing and a pit of twerking going on.
These were the best night, with the group, dancing with your two best friends, being care free. It almost happened in slow motion, almost like this was going to be the last time , you stopped dancing and turned to look at the red head, her laugh echoed in your ears, the way she twirled with her arms spread out,closing her eyes for second feeling like she was in cloud, a smile never leaving her lips. It made you break out into a grin, seeing her so happy was everything you ever wanted. Taking the time to truly study her, tears spilled over at the thought of losing her, the ache that passed through your heart made it feel heavy .
She laughed and blew you a kiss, “What’s wrong?” Now the both of them stopped dancing and stared at you, concerned filled both of there beautiful green eyes.
“I just love you guys so much!” You threw your arms over the both of them pulling them into a tight hug.
-
Five years, you lost half of your team for the last five years, never knowing if you’ll ever see them again. It kept you up at night, the nightmares of losing your best friends, it always replayed in your head, the way you ran to Bucky and just like he dropped to the grown, only the gun he was holding remaining.
“What’s happening?” You turned around to look around, eyes landing on Wanda as she kneeled beside a grey looking Vision, slowly her hand started to fade. “No,no,no!” Getting up quickly and dropping to her side cupping her cheek. “Wanda, you’ll be okay, don’t go, don’t go!” You begged,cried, tears rolling down your cheeks. Not being able to to tear your eyes of her face, she looked so scared, not knowing what was happening.
Seconds later she was gone, her ashes sticking onto your hands as you crutch down and sobbed into her pile and soon you were embraced into Nat’s arms.
“She’s gone!” You sobbed into her neck, she held you tighter as she sobbed, not believing what was happening around her.
“You ready?” You were pulled out of trace by a knock on the door, Nat leaned against the door frame, a genuine smile slipped onto her lips.
“As I’ll ever be.” You got up from the bed and made your way towards her, pulling her into a unexpected hug. “Please don’t die.” Your voice just above a whisper, pulling her even tighter into your arms.
“How could I? I’m going to be godmother.” She placed her hand on your non visible belly. “Can’t leave my family.” Smiling down at your belly, already loving this baby more than words could describe, not even the father knowing you were with child.
“Let’s go.” You walked to the garage hand in hand and stepped into the portal.
“Alright in three, two.” Bruce walked on to the portal.
“See you in a minute.” She threw you one last kiss, to which you caught and send one right back.
“One.”
“We get them all.” You smiled at the team, excited at the thought of bring back your family. That was until Clint dropped to his knees. “Cint.” Not trusting your voice to say anything else.
“I lost her.”
It felt like you were punched in the gut, your knees buckled under you. Feeling the warmth of your husband next you you sobbed into his chest, crying out for your best friend, a fallen hero. After a while of crying for her you got up whipped your tears and nose you and looked around.
“What are we waiting for, she didn’t die in vain. She believed in this plan and were going to do this for her.”
-
“Oh Tasha!” You laid in the ground next to her grave, everyone had left, after the snap you had two funerals, heartbreak after heartbreak, you didn’t know if your body could take it. “We won Nat.” Laying on your back with hands crossed over your head. “You’d be really proud of us, we wouldn’t of been able to do this without you.” Tears cascading down your cheeks. “You should be here, celebrating with us, it’s not fair,Nat. I lost two of my best friends in the span of a day and I’m never getting them back.” Your nose started to water making a great combination of snot and tears. “I love you, hot stuff.” You turned over and kissed her grave stone.
“You ready, sweetheart?” Steve appeared next to you, with a head nod he picked you up without a struggle. “I’m so sorry.” He held you tight against his chest. “She was family, she’ll always be family.” He kissed the top of your head.
“She would of been a great,godmother.”
“Without a doubt.” He nodded in agreement. “Wait who’s godmother was she going to be?” Steve pulled you at arms length.
“Our baby.” Guiding his hands to your belly.
“Really?” His beautiful blue eyes studied your face, instantly tears fell from his eyes.
“Were having a baby Rogers.” You smiled at him, knowing you kept your promise of telling him in front of Nat.
-
The weight of the world had finally been lifted from Natasha’s shoulders, she could finally relax and do everything she ever wanted to do, she had all the time of the world resting on her hands, nothing to stress her out, Valhalla, what a dream. Natasha Romanoff was complete.
That was until AC/DC started to blare in the distance, she quickly looked around, confused.
“Agent Romanoff,miss me?” Quickly turning around she spot her old pal.
“Tone.” She ran to squeezed him with all her might, “What? What no you can’t be here.” She shook her head in disappointment.
“We won Nat, we won.”Tony didn’t let go of her, holding her just a little tighter until they heard another voice behind them.
“I don’t suppose it’s too late for that drink?”

Imagine: The Horde Leaders Taking Care of You When You’re Sick
Sylvanas Windrunner: The guard dog who will keep all other life forms away from you. Will also ask one of her apothecaries to make something to boost your recovery.
Sylvanas: Can’t go any further. Quarantine zone.
Baine Bloodhoof: A sweet cinnamon roll that will cuddle with you and nurse you back to health.
Baine: Earth Mother bless you.
Ji Firepaw: Motivator. Gives good back massages and will keep you hydrated.
Ji: *drops barrels* You need to drink fluids...yes, these are all beer. Not to worry, it’ll cut through the mucus in no time!
Jastor Gallywix: No help at all. Will spray you with Lysol if you get too close. If you’re lucky, he may also throw money at you.
Gallywix: Money solves everything, pal! Why do you think goblins are green?
Halduron Brightwing: Another helpful cinnamon roll that has energy for days to do all your chores.
Lor’Themar Theron: Guard dog #2. Will also offer you his fancy elf enchanted wine (warning: Ji and Gallywix will be jealous).
Rommath: Will portal anything you need to you. He may be a bit of a germaphobe, but his mouth is covered and he has books full of protection spells. He’ll be your quick and easy nurse.
BONUS EDITION:
Vol’jin: He’ll take the spiritual approach. Healing crystals, voodoo charms. You may not feel a difference, but the thought is there.
Vol’jin: Fight the voodoo, mon!
Garrosh Hellscream: Sometimes movement is the best medicine. He’ll encourage you to walk around, and if you pass out, he’ll carry you over his shoulder back to bed. If you’re too weak to walk, he’ll carry you around to take in new surroundings.
Garrosh: I protect, I attack, but most importantly: I carry you on my back.
Thrall: Shamans are awesome caretakers. Great with your temperature, can cuddle/carry you in Frost Wolf form.
Thrall: I protect, I attack, but–DAMMIT GARROSH YOU STOLE MY LINE
Rexxar: He’s just a big softie that’ll wrap you up in animal furs to keep you warm. He also has a ton of cute pets to keep you company!

Author’s Note: Thank you so much for reading! I was feeling a little under the weather when I returned from spring break and this cute idea came to me. I’m not sure if this has been done yet, but everyone deserves a little love from their favorite Warcraft characters. I hope everyone is healthy and well, and we’ll have a few more sick imagines coming up! I’ll leave some links to them below if you’d like to check them out c: love, fortune and glory to you, Awesome Adventurers!
