people always tell me my art style remindse them of childrens book illustrations and i rarely make kid friendly stories anymore but you know what i need to make some so here

Aria Wewason is a freshly indoctrinated middle schooler of the Island Cities Elementary School in the disastrous and opportunistic year of 2008; smartboards and chunky computers have just been rolled into the classrooms, and on-line video-hosting websites have just taken off in the public conscious, and Aria has one dream set in her mind above all else --- to start a media production club in her final years at her school, and become the host of her own web series!

However, she lives in a secluded and slow-to-the times town tucked in the farthest reaches of Wisconsin; where iPhones are still coveted between the rich kids, and most kids her age still lived off of their parent's landlines and slow-running computers and have little to no access to the world wide web. Aria herself has little knowledge of technology herself, but is determined to become the most tech-savvy kid in her school and show the world her creativity and imagination through video!

Luckily, she's got a team behind her set to help her out;

her best friend since they were in preschool, Bell Mabel, who has access to the latest home computer through her parent's at-home jobs, and even owns her own Nikon handheld

the most popular --- and richest --- girl in school [name here], who after a rocky start in elementary school spent picking on Aria came to consider Aria her best and only friend, with an obsession for trading card games and with one finger on the pulse of all things gaming

a strange and energetic 4th grade who asks everyone to call her ''Tock'', who has a school-renown habit of causing trouble and gaining the ire of the teachers around her, yet is unmatched in her artistic and roleplay skills, and her through place in special education has a curious and strange level of knowledge of the inner workings of the school.... including where their budget goes?!

two IT techs crammed into a small closet the school calls their ''server room''; highschool dropout Ryder MacNamara, the second in command and often the one running around from classroom to classroom helping with the daily disruptions and presentations. Also known to moonlight as the Friday Popcorn maker, and routinely known to interrupt gym class to ''borrow'' the use of the gym teacher's microwave stashed in their room, which usually brings no less than five minutes of her picking on the teacher in front of the kids and making them laugh.

Ruyan Wozniak, a married woman and the showrunner behind everything plugged into the walls of the school. Often only found crammed into the small closet with her army of cables and screens, and known for her unending amount of kindness and patience for the students of the school when seemingly nobody else would listen to them, she has grown to become the kids' favorite ''teacher'' of them all, but when asked if it's true that she's married to the gym teacher she will often lie and tell them that theyre siblings, and she's actually married to a famous football quarterback for some reason

Seth Wewason, Aria's younger brother and classmate of Tock, whos always following around Aria and talking about wanting to be a weather forecaster on their local channel some day.

With the support of her friends and two IT nerds behind her, Aria is dedicated to seeing her goal achieved, and to leave the lasting legacy of the founder of the media productions club at her school! But when the Charter School section of her school --- a hallway blocked off from the rest of them, and spoken to in hushed whispers as ''holy curriculum'' full of classrooms with bean bag chairs and no homework --- begin to talk about forming their own media productions club, will Aria and co be able to defy their odds and be the ones to first the school's first-ever video-based morning announcements, or will Aria's only shot be taken away by the prestigious elites of the school?

#comes included with a very obvious bit about middle school currency wars and going to the nurses office etc etc #ocs #what to call it. hmmmm. lights camera classroom there #Lights! Camera! Classroom!

Wisconsinite in California

I'm not going to say I hate working, because I don't. I'm bored. So I need something to do. What I do hate is how much time I'm away from writing. I have tried to write this post for over a week now! I get an idea, that I believe is good, while driving around, doing my job, and by the time I get home, I say to myself, "What was I thinking?"

(My sister hates comas)

I usually just sit down at my computer and start writing whatever comes into my head. Which has proved to be confusing for some of my readers since I am a treble speller and have lousy grammar skill.

(Okay, enough with the bad puns. You understand what I mean)

Now, I finally came up with a story that slapped me right across my face.

*****

Yesterday, I was on my usual morning constitution of walking 5 miles a day around a local golf course when I saw someone I haven't seen in over fifteen years. We had a business adventure together which started out extremely well, but after a year started losing money. I pulled out of the project after a squabble we had about his book-keeping skills. We haven't spoke to each other since.

He was playing golf, and I could tell he didn't recognize me at first, but I knew who he was. So my plan was to keep on walking along without saying a word to him.

Unfortunately, he must have thought about who I was. He threw down his club and came running up towards me saying, "My friend. What have I done to you?"

That widen my suspicious eyes. But, I didn't say anything. I didn't have to, because he kept on talking.

"I purposely ruined our business for a tax loss because my real estate business was taking a big hit after the Great Recession of 2008. If I knew it was going to ruin you, I probably wouldn't have done it." he explained to me. As if this was a perfectly good reason and I would understand.

I still said nothing, steaming inside, thinking if I should punch the guy.

Then he said, after an awkward moment of silence, "Here, take this fifty bucks. It's all I have on me. The next time you see me golfing, come out of the woods or wherever you are squatting and I'll give you a hundred."

I said nothing but took the fifty.

"Okay," he said. "I've got to go. Look for me in a week or so." Then he goes running off to be with his golfing partner.

So I went home, got into my Mercedes, drove to a local barber, and got a haircut and a shave!

This is,

Never Judge A Wisconsinite By His Beard

Jim Hauenstein

And

"Wisconsin cuisine? Is that even a thing?" Sabrina asked. He smiled. "Have some state pride. You know, kringle, booyah, fish boils, cheese curds. Do you have a favorite?" Sabrina took a few breaths before responding. "Kringle... and anything with cheese.” - Amy E. Reichert -

Hey what’s up wats ur deal where u from wat u do

Hello! Dog is what's up! We don't have time to get into the full "what's your deal," so I'll leave that to your imagination. I'm really just some guy. From Wisconsin - I've mentioned that in posts/notes before, so I'm not really doxxing myself too hardcore here. What I do is make silly little posts on the internet. And also write music and play guitar in a couple bands. And run lights/sound at an EDM club. And also program computers. On rare occasions I also do some twitch streaming. I don't talk about it as much as you might think, but I also have some really cool hair. That's about it.

#thanks for the ask!#asks answered #danblab

May 1987 playboy magazine

The papers of LeRoy Neiman measure approximately 70.5 linear feet and date from 1938-2005. Gentle souls that they are, Playboy referenced this bit of folklore (a charming bit of blarney which been told about any number of schools, cheese-enhanced and otherwise, for many years prior to 1987) and did their best console those who were left off the January 1987 compilation by stating, “If your school isn’t listed, it’s probably because we didn’t include professionals.Neiman, LeRoy, 1921-2012 Search this Names: But when the kids contacted the magazine, they were told: “We don’t rank professionals.” Students at the University of Wisconsin were taken aback when their school didn’t rate even an honorable mention after all, everyone knows about the legendary cheesehead antics that go on in Madison. Then there’s the computer bulletin board-fueled story about the magazine (usually Playboy) that was ranking the Top 10 Party Schools in the country. Which leads us straight into the legend which has sprung up around this famed list: The information for Playboy‘s 1987 list of party schools had been compiled in 1986 from the reports of Playboy staffers who interviewed campus club leaders, dorm rush chairmen, fraternity presidents and other campus social studs at more than 250 schools nationwide. We wanted to hear what goes down on campus - the good, the bad and blurry - in your own words, more than 1500 of you wrote. It’s all because of your article 15 years ago!” Why do another ranking now? The kids demanded it, our public relations department is bombarded with calls from students who wonder where their schools rank. Some students have sent us e-mails that say “Don’t you dare say Chico State. Chico has had bragging rights for 15 years, causing students to binge with pride while parents and administrators have dried out fraternities and sororities and canceled Halloween. Truth is, we haven’t done such a roundup since 1987, when we tagged Cal State-Chico the craziest campus in the nation. In more recent years Playboy has sometimes republished college rankings compiled by others, such as the annual list of The Top 20 Party Schools as determined by The Princeton Review.Ĭampus legend has it that Playboy does a yearly ranking of America’s top party schools. However, there were two precursors to the full-blown list: the September 1968 issue identified the University of Wisconsin at Madison as the most permissive campus (drawn from a sample of 25 universities) and dubbed it “the party school” (primarily because it served beer in the student union) likewise the October 1976 issue named UCLA tops in “campus action.” Through the end of 2006, such a list had appeared in the pages of Playboy only three times: in its January 1987, November 2002, and May 2006 issues. However, not until the late 1980s did Playboy actually publish a ranking of this nature, and it was never an annual feature of the magazine. that Playboy conducted surveys of drinking on college campuses and used them to compile annual lists of “America’s best party schools” (rumors usually spread by students proudly proclaiming that their own school had achieved the #1 slot Origins: Since the 1950s, rumors have been aired at every college in the U.S. TRUE: Other organizations compile and publish their own rankings of America’s top party schools. TRUE: Playboy magazine has occasionally published their own rankings of America’s top party schools. TRUE: Playboy magazine has sometimes printed other publications’ rankings of America’s top party schools.

FALSE: Playboy magazine compiles annual rankings of America’s top party schools.

Denver 7 weatherman

DENVER 7 WEATHERMAN TV

I love forecasting! Severe storms are always exciting and challenging. What do you like most about your job? What is the most challenging thing about your job? I also spend a lot of time answering e-mail and posting to social media. I usually handle the 4, 5, 6 and 10 PM weathercasts. Radio feeds, graphic creation and show preparation is next. Map analysis (mostly on a computer anymore) and forecasting come first. I speak to schools a day or two a week in the morning, but my main day begins around 1:30 PM. What is your typical day on the job like? I knew that I wanted to be a broadcast meteorologist since I was in middle school! As I went through my schooling, I studied all of the math and science, but also took classes in creative writing and participated in the high school dramas and musicals. What other courses/skills beyond the required math and science courses do you think would be the most helpful to individuals wanting a career in your profession? I finally worked up the courage to ask for a job! I told him I would empty his trash and answer his phone - for free! He hired me at minimum wage and I then worked him for the next 10 years! It always pays to ask! I would give him a big scoop of Jamoca ice cream and ask him weather questions.

DENVER 7 WEATHERMAN TV

What opportunities did you pursue that you knew would be beneficial to securing a job in the profession?Īs a teenager, I was very fortunate to have Terry Kelly, the best TV meteorologist in Madison, frequent the Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream store where I worked. Only 25 AMS Fellows have ever come from the broadcast meteorology sector. I was named a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society in 2019. In 2016, I was inducted into the Silver Circle of the National Association of Television Arts and Sciences – recognizing my many years of service to the broadcast industry. In 2001, I was recognized by the Colorado Broadcasters Association as their "Citizen of the Year" for my volunteer work in Colorado schools. Murrow Award and a two-time winner of the Colorado Broadcaster of the Year award. I recently served for three years as the Chair of the AMS Station Scientist Committee.ĭuring my broadcast career, I have won 20 Emmy awards for Weather Excellence. I now spend considerable time writing, speaking and teaching about the science and the dangers of global warming. I have also written numerous weather pamphlets and articles for magazines. I have authored two books on weather and climate, The Colorado Weather Almanac (2007) and The Colorado Weather Book (1999). I am currently the Chief Meteorologist for Denver 7 KMGH-TV. We moved to Denver in 1991 and I have been forecasting the weather in Colorado ever since. In 1985, my family and I moved to St Louis, MO, where I served as Chief Meteorologist for KMOV-TV until 1991. What was your first job in the field and how did you end up in the job you are in now? My "Tornado Dance" is a much-anticipated event! I estimate that I have spoken to nearly 1,000,000 children in my 40-year career! I enjoy sharing my knowledge of the weather with young and old, visiting nearly 100 schools, clubs, charities and service organizations each year. In the mid-1980s, I served a four year term on the AMS Broadcast Board, reviewing and judging many meteorologists for their AMS Seal of Approval. This pioneering system eventually became the world's most widely used television weather graphics system! It is now part of IBM - The Weather Company! In 1979, I partnered with fellow UW meteorologist, Terry Kelly, in helping to develop one of the first computer weather graphics system for television. I began my weather career in 1976 at Weather Central, a Madison-based weather consulting firm, specializing in forecasts for TV, radio, agribusiness, ski areas, and utilities. I received my degree in Meteorology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Weather has been my favorite subject since I was 7 years old! I credit a powerful thunderstorm that roared through my Madison, WI, neighborhood as my introduction to the wonders of weather. Please describe your educational background and what sparked your interest in atmospheric or related sciences.

On 28 July 2000, Vengaboys performed the song twice at the Stadium Merdeka in Malaysia. It was also used during the credits of the last editions of the Jeux sans frontières in 1999. In 2012, US recording artist Rye Rye sampled the song in the chorus to her single " Boom Boom". Lisa Vaas from eWeek reported that an internet viral game containing malware had been used to gain remote control of computers once in control, the attackers would "torture" their victims by playing Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom. In 2001, British furniture retailer DFS used the song to front a promotion campaign and their sales increased by ten per cent. In November 1999, "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!" was used in an advert in Japan for Nissan for their Wingroad 5-door estate. It includes plenty of big ‘woaahhohohohoh‘ dance vocals and robotic vocal samples." Katjusa Cisar from the Wisconsin State Journal described it as "a sublime mix of catchy melodies, booming bass and stupidly simple lyrics, dating back to the days when Euro dance-pop was at its peak." Usage in the media Pop Rescue wrote that "this song is so catchy – with its thumping beats, simple melody, and easy to remember chorus. The song was featured at number fifteen on The People 's list of "top songs of 1999". Insider said that "this sweet and poppy hit is a total earworm and chances are you still remember it all these years later." A reporter from the Milton Keynes Citizen branded it a "spine-chilling teeny-pop chart hit". The writer also wrote that the song "has more bounce than a bouncy castle", and added, "Start singing it and you won't stop all day.

#Boom boom boom lyrics vengaboys full

They added that "it's like a slightly poppier take on 2 Unlimited, with perfectly crisp, dizzying Wurlitzer-synth melodies and a thumping beat that evokes the spirit – if not quite the reality – of mid-‘90s club nights." A writer from the Daily Record said that Vengaboys were ready "for their biggest hit yet", adding that it, like their previous singles, was "another full on party anthem". Can't Stop the Pop described it as "a relentless tour-de-force of Eurodance". BuzzFeed listed the song at number 66 in their list of "The 101 Greatest Dance Songs Of the '90s" in 2017. While Craig Seymour of The Buffalo News named it a "boppy uptempo tune" that is "sure to please the aerobics instructor in all of us". It was named the fifth "worst ever summer song" in a survey conducted by Tony Blackburn and music e-tailer AllMusic editor William Cooper wrote that "the campy approach can be overbearing, but the upbeat, tuneful material on this release is difficult to dislike." Andrew Cowen from the Birmingham Post described the song as being "as daft as the title". The song received mixed reviews, though most were generally positive. It has sold over 620,000 copies in the UK as of July 2014. The song debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart for the week ending 20 June 1999. It is written in the key of F-sharp major and maintains a tempo of 138 beats per minute in common time. "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!" is a Eurodance and pop song that runs for 3 minutes and 22 seconds. In the United Kingdom, Positiva Records issued the song as two CD single. It was released to radio in the United States in June 1999 and re-released to US radio in June 2017. The song was written by Vengaboys producers Danski and Delmundo, with the first verse interpolating the ABBA song " Lay All Your Love on Me" written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. It was a top-ten hit in several other countries, including Australia, France, and Italy. It reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in June 1999 and peaked atop the charts of Flanders, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and Sweden while also topping the Canadian RPM Dance 30 chart. " Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!" is a song by Dutch Eurodance group Vengaboys, released as a single in October 1998 from the band's debut album, Up & Down - The Party Album (1998).

Ah the Commodore C16! Built to be a cost-reduced business oriented machine, Commodore fumbled with pricing and marketing, which meant it mostly fought with the more capable Commodore 64. Hampered by it's limited 16k of memory and lackluster software library, the C16 and higher RAM sibling the Commodore Plus/4 both left the market not long after they arrived. Despite the faults, it has to be said that the C16 looks fantastic!

Inspired by nutrition labels on meals, they displayed metrics similar to volatility and frequency of payouts. OLG has additionally deployed digital gaming machines with pre-determined outcomes primarily based on a bingo or pull-tab game, initially branded as "TapTix", which visually resemble slot machines. Despite their confidentiality, often a PAR sheet is posted on a website. They have limited value to the participant, because usually a machine could have 8 to 12 completely different possible applications with various payouts. In addition, slight variations of each machine (e.g., with double jackpots or 5 times play) are at all times being developed. The on line casino operator can select which EPROM chip to put in in any particular machine to decide out the payout desired. Analysis of machine records by the state Gaming Commission revealed faults, with the true jackpot being substantially smaller. State gaming legal guidelines didn't require a on line casino to honour payouts in that case. While Western Australian gaming machines are just like the opposite states', they do not have spinning reels. This allowed the system to manage the extent of payout by stopping the drums at positions it had decided. If the payout channel had filled up, the payout turned extra generous; if almost empty, the payout grew to become much less so . With microprocessors now ubiquitous, the computer systems inside modern slot machines permit manufacturers to assign a different chance to every image on every reel. To the player, it would appear that a successful image was "so shut", whereas in reality the likelihood is much decrease. Wild symbols substitute for many other symbols within the game , normally excluding scatter and jackpot symbols (or providing a lower prize on non-natural combinations that embrace wilds).

Since 2009 when playing establishments have been banned, nearly all slot clubs disappeared and are found solely in a specifically licensed playing zones. In Australia "Poker Machines" or "pokies" are formally termed "gaming machines". In Australia, gaming machines are a matter for state governments, so laws vary between states. Gaming machines are found in casinos , pubs and clubs in some states . The first Australian state to legalize this type of gambling was New South Wales, when in 1956 they had been made legal in all registered golf equipment in the state.

Where Can I Find The Best On Line Casino Bonuses At Super Slots?

In Wisconsin, bars and taverns are allowed to have up to five machines. These machines often allow a participant to either take a payout, or gamble it on a double-or-nothing "facet game". Mechanical slot machines and their coin acceptors were generally vulnerable to cheating gadgets and other scams. One historical example concerned spinning a coin with a brief size of plastic wire. If you're questioning how we discover the most effective online slots bonuses, check out the yellow box under. Independent candidate Andrew Wilkie, an anti-pokies campaigner, was elected to the Australian House of Representatives seat of Denison at the 2010 federal election. Wilkie was considered one of 4 crossbenchers who supported the Gillard Labor authorities following the hung parliament result. The worksheet also indicates the reel strip settings, number of cash that could be played, the payout schedule, the variety of reels and different info descriptive of the actual sort of slot machine. That mentioned, this is certainly one of the high online casinos that provide loads of bonuses to each new and present players. The greatest on-line casinos don’t simply give away bonuses for no good reason. They do this mainly because it’s a wonderful way to get and keep new and existing gamers.

It’s Christmas, Danny Phantom!

Welcome to the Superphantom Christmas special! I honestly can’t say I’m the biggest fan of Christmas myself, so this mayyy be a little bit of Santa slander. sorry? I hope to have the entire fic posted by Christmas, but it’s getting a bit longer than I intended for it to be. Either way, I’m having a really fun time writing it. Enjoy the prologue!

The picking had been rather dry for the last few months on the hunting front. Near complete silence from murderous supernatural creatures should be a good thing, a chance to relax. Instead, they were getting incredibly stir crazy. The library was almost completely catalogued, a testament to just how bored they were. Dean had turned to cleaning out the impala. He sorted through weapons, bottles of various substances (lamb’s blood doesn’t keep well. Especially when left under a seat for god knows how long), and old papers and floppy discs washed up into seams like they were sand the ocean had swept in. That last one was quite a surprise to find. With their Dad having died literal years ago and their general ransacking of all his notes there was little they didn’t know about his life. Or so they thought, at least.

Dean carried in a light cardboard box. All the technology within it was years out of date.

“Sammy, come look at this,” He shouted as he walked through the kitchen into the war room. Sam (who was rereading and notating a particularly dry book on Australian myths) shot in.

“What is it? Do you have a case?”

“Maybe. I think I found some of Dad’s old stuff, like old stuff.” He said, holding up a blue floppy disc.

Sam considered it, snapping and pointing at him. “Hold on, I remember unpacking a reader with all of Frank’s stuff.”

Sam, god bless him, took less than two minutes to go from the storage room they’d designated as the tech closet and back. Neither of them was particularly great with technology, especially as far as setting it up goes. A life on the road’ll do that to you. But messing with wires and trying not to get shocked was a welcome change. Finally, they had a new task to work towards. The computer systems were much too old to run tech as recent as the 80s, but the screens still worked just fine when running solely on the reader, if a little slow, malformed, glitchy. It was like running twitter on a 3Ds.

Three grey files popped up on the screen. The computer lacked a mouse, so Sam had to tediously click through them on the keyboard. The way Dean breathed over his shoulder, you would think him the younger sibling. Sam double clicked on the first one. A little loading ball appeared, rotating in small black and white increments. The lack of progress bar was a little disheartening. Each tick of the ball seemed to come slower than the last.

“You want snacks? I’m gonna go get some snacks.” Dean left his brother to lean on his palm and attempt to keep his eyes open. A bag of pretzels later the file finally opened. It was an archive of a newspaper, The Spectator. A big red banner ran across the top of the screen, headlined with the University of Wisconsin logo. The front page was pretty standard, welcoming students back to campus and giving their opinions on housing prices and coffee shops. A few pages down in the entertainment section a small clipping on band called the Skunk Punks caught his eye.

“Look at those mullets, yikes.”

“It was a different time.” Dean shook his head.

The real kicker was at the very bottom, barely a paragraph long. Tacked onto the bottom was a grainy photo of a woman and two men, all with iconically 80s haircuts.

Pictured: The Ectobiology Research Club. PhD Students Jack Fenton, Maddie Walker and Vlad Masters have successfully constructed “the first fully functional portal to the Ghost Zone”. Meetings are at 8 daily, all are welcome.

“Ghost Zone, huh. That sound familiar to you?” Dean squinted at the words as if the blocky text might contain more detail.

Sam shook his head. “Not that I can remember. Either way a portal to anywhere sounds like a bad idea.”

The next file took half the time to load, still enough to brew a pot of coffee. Dean set the pot down on the map table, wisely keeping it nearby. This page was full of notes. Photocopied chicken scratch of equations and diagrams, all detailing a miniature portal. Trying to read it cohesively was impossible, and figuring it out in chunks was just as boring as all the reading and organising they’d been doing before.

The third one contained screenshots. This time of emails.

“Why the hell not, we need to check out this portal of theirs anyway. You feelin’ merry, Sam?”

♡ prompt: “i'll make sure never to leave you alone.”

♡ pairing: Baron Zemo x fem reader

♡ lyric inspiration: “you know I’m just a flight away, if you wanted you could take a private plane, los kilometros estamos conectando y me prendes aunque no me estes tocando.”

♡ note: not checked for grammar or spelling mistakes / for OBVIOUS reasons, heavy spoiler warning if you are not watching or are planning on watching Falcon and the Winter Soldier. this is kind of based on episodes three and four.

“we might need to call an old friend of mine for help,” Sam told both Bucky and Zemo. Bucky gave him a look of confusion, “she’s a friend of my sisters. before the blip and all that, she was a working college student. she’s really good at being a decoy for things,” Sam explained.

Bucky sighed, not knowing whether to agree with this or not. Zemo had no say in the matter as he was on a very strict leash with Sam so he didn’t bother to say much.

“well, what are we waiting for? if we need to be in Madripoor soon, I think it’s best we get ahead of the game before it gets any later than it already is,” Bucky stated as Sam agreed.

Zemo had been ‘kind’ enough to fly them back to where you currently stayed at.

the four of them touched down in Wisconsin in the later part of the morning. the wind was blowing briskly through the air as they all groaned about the slight cold. Sam was never the one to like the cold in the first place, Bucky for obvious reasons despised the winter climate, and Zemo found the Wisconsin farm scenery to be eye-catching.

“wait, how is she going to help us again?” Zemo asked as Sam put the information of your current house into the GPS. “she’s worked a lot with computers. she became friends with Sarah while she went to school in Louisiana. I think she could be of help considering she’d blend in with the younger crowd without us seeming suspicious,” Sam went into detail.

both Bucky and Zemo were confused on the entire situation but followed Sam’s lead regardless. they ended up in a small town a few hours out of where the plane touched down. your house was surrounded by a bunch of farm land and from the looks of it, you kept up with outside work.

“with her knowledge in computers and being able to blend in with the crowd, she could gather information that neither three of us could get.” Zemo looked up to Sam, “I know Madripoor better than anyone. what gives you the implication that I can’t get the information myself?” he asked.

Sam waved him off as they got to your doorstep. your house looked cozy in comparison to how you lived before the blip. he knocked on the door softly, stepping back almost immediately. it took you a while to answer it but as they heard footsteps, they heard a ‘who is it?’ from the other side of the door.

“it’s Sam.”

you jumped back in surprise. you weren’t expecting to have Sam of all people knocking on your door at this hour. Sarah hadn’t told you that he was even going to come and see you.

“Sam? James?” you asked, immediately playing with the skin on your fingers out of nervousness, “is something wrong? I wasn’t expecting you, nevertheless James here,” you continued as you let them inside. you looked at the third person, confused on who they were, “uh, may I ask who you are?” you questioned.

“that’s Zemo but that isn’t important. we need you for something we’re working on,” you sighed in defeat.

your life pre-blip was as normal as it could possibly be but after the blip, you lost your boyfriend at the time and your family dynamic had completely changed. you were no longer as close with your siblings, you were really never close with your dad to begin with, and your mom was just trying to fit back in as normally as possible without freaking out that something would happen to any of your siblings or yourself.

“there’s a group of people who re-created the super soldier serum and we need help finding out who did it and why,” you immediately whipped your head up to look at Sam, “as in the thing that created Winter Soldier here and Steve?” you exclaimed, a sense of panic coming out as you spoke.

Sam nodded, trying to calm you down before you could deny him all together, “since you still look kind of young and you were getting your degree in computer science, I was hoping you could come with us to Madripoor and scope out the scene while we talk to some people,” he explained.

“Sam, I never even finished my degree. the blip happened before I could graduate and post blip, I haven’t touched a computer to that extent,” you replied. Bucky put his hand on your shoulder, “we really need you. you’re not someone who would catch attention easily and whatever you do remember could still help us in the long run,” he interjected.

as Zemo watched both Bucky and Sam try to persuade you, he could tell you weren’t falling for it but now that he was standing in your kitchen, he could see the pictures of you and your family and probably some friends on your fridge door.

“can I talk to her?” Zemo asked Bucky softly. Bucky gave him a look, almost as if what he said was disgraceful to hear, “why?” he asked back. Zemo pointed to the pictures on the fridge, “because I know how it is to lose family.”

Bucky whispered to Sam about what Zemo had told him and while Sam wanted to refuse, while you were gone making coffee for them, Sam ultimately let him. “do not blow this for us. you’re on thin ice and if you screw us up, you’ll be back in that German prison cell before you could say your name,” Zemo put his hands up in defeat as he slowly walked into the kitchen.

“need help with that coffee?” Zemo asked. you turned around, shaking your head no as you looked through the cabinets, “no, I’m okay. thanks for asking. I just need to find the coffee before meeting you three out there again,” you replied.

Zemo reached into the pouch inside his jacket and pulled out a brown bag, “coffee from Germany. it’s the best you’ll get,” he said as you grabbed the bag and opened it up. the strong smell of coffee hit your nose as you coughed from it, “where did you get this?” you asked.

Zemo laughed, shaking it off, “I’m a Baron, ( your name ). my family has a lot of things,” you nodded, not quite understanding what he meant by that but agreeing regardless, “listen, I know you’re hesitant on going with us to Madripoor but we really need your help. you’d be doing the world a favor by it,” he elaborated.

you remained silent for a moment, “what has the world done for me? I lost my boyfriend, the guy I thought I was going to be with forever. my family and I don’t even talk to each other anymore so why should I help it out?” you responded, not caring if Sam or Bucky heard. Zemo put his hand on your cheek before sighing, “I lost my family in Sokovia. I know what that feels like more than anyone in the world and look at me now,” he replied.

Sam and Bucky looked at each other nervously as they watched you try and contain your tears. they couldn’t exactly tell what Zemo was telling you but they could sense you were actually debating the idea now.

“did you ever move on? how did you move on is what I should be asking,” you asked quietly. Zemo stayed silent for a moment, not knowing whether he should answer genuinely or not, “being alone for as long as I was makes you come to terms with a lot of things,” he replied.

you gulped, trying to push down whatever tears wanted to come out.

“I think I’m over what happened pre-blip but I guess what’s stopping me from fully moving on is that we’ll never be the people we were before hand. what would I get out of helping all of you again?” you asked Zemo, now blushing at how close you were with him, “finding out where the serum is coming from and possibly having peace of mind,” he replied.

you put the cups down and walked back into the living room, “you both owe me something. I don’t know what it is yet but you do,” you told Sam as he and Bucky sighed in relief, “give me a few minutes to gather my things,” you told them before heading upstairs.

“what did you tell her?” Bucky asked as Zemo watched you walk upstairs with an almost mesmerized look, “nothing any of you would understand,” he responded before sitting down on the worn out couch.

all of you touched down in Madripoor hours later. you had chugged back to melatonin gummies and passed out the entire flight back to Madripoor. you weren’t exactly a fan of planes so to be inside of one for hours made you extremely nervous.

you were sent off to get some information while they went off in their own direction to get something else they needed. you were told to get back to them before dusk so after you got the bits of information they needed, you met them back at the car.

“your name is now Noel, you’re a friend of ours and that’s all you need to know,” Zemo said as he handed you a fake id. you took it as Zemo relied Sam’s fake information to him, laughing at the nickname he was given, “high-town is beautiful,” you whispered to Zemo. he nodded in agreement, “indeed. we should visit it again,” he replied.

as all of you arrived to the club/bar, you heard the music blaring from outside and figured this is what Sam meant when he said you’d blend in with the crowd. you sighed before plastering a smile on your face and dancing your way inside.

“we should get some drinks,” Zemo told all of you. you nodded as you followed him to the bar. the small altercation between the bartender and Sam had you clenching your eyes shut as he cut up the snake, “please, that’s so disgusting,” you said, trying not to gag.

Zemo could see the uncomfortable look on your face and unknowingly hid you behind him. he knew that small protective feeling from anywhere. the last time he had that feeling was with his wife. Zemo didn’t want you to see anything that made you mildly uncomfortable.

within a few seconds, Zemo had shielded you immediately as an altercation brokeout with Bucky and a few others. you looked at Sam and Zemo in fright as Zemo made sure to keep you safe while Sam apologized for it. he knew you weren’t even mildly used to these kinds of scenes and if he was being honest, he knew in a way this could be traumatizing you.

“Selby is ready to see you now,” you heard someone say. you followed behind Sam and Zemo as he had Bucky right next to him. as all of you walked inside the room, you could see the woman immediately look at Bucky and you a bit more interestingly.

“you know you can’t just walk in here and demand to see me,” she said to Zemo. he nodded as Selby looked to Sam before giving him a backhanded compliment, “and can I ask who that is?” Selby asked as she pointed to you.

you stood stiff as a board as Sam tried to speak up but was interrupted almost immediately by Zemo, “my wife,” he said, now more softly as he touched your had. Selby chuckled, “you wouldn’t want to make a trade for her, would you?” Selby asked.

Sam immediately went on the defense as Zemo denied it, making sure you weren’t in her plane view anymore. Sam made sure that you were okay before returning back to the conversation at hand and within a few mere seconds, the once calm conversation turned deadly as Sam’s phone had went off and caused the domino affect to follow. Selby was now dead and all of your phones pinged off with money now on your heads for killing Selby.

“see! this why I didn’t want to do this!” you screamed to them as you chucked your heels to the side and slipping on your trusty Crocs that you had put inside of you bag, “now you’ve dragged me into things I have no idea about,” you continued to scream as you followed Zemo out the door.

he could tell you were on the verge of a panic attack as all of you ran in separate directions. Sam had given you a gun to protect yourself with. you weren’t the one to use a gun for anything so to even be carrying it around terrified the shit out of you.

you could tell that if you didn’t even cause a commotion to get the people to disperse, you’d be dead in a few minutes. you shot at the air, hoping no one got hurt in the process as everyone ducked for cover. you let out a shout as the bullets rang off into the air, making you drop the gun as soon as your rounds were finished.

all of you landed in some alley as you stood up against the building, trying to catch your breaths in the process. Zemo immediately asked if you were okay and reassured you that you were no longer in harm. you were safe....for the moment; however, he knew that wouldn’t last as long as he’d hope as he knew that you were now apart of their vigilante group whether you wanted to be or not.

after you met the infamous Sharon Carter, she had brought all of you to her place. she could sense that you did not belong in the group as she noticed how panicked you were by the entire situation. you hadn’t said a word after introducing yourself to her and frankly, she was concerned for you.

“I have clothes upstairs you could change into. I get the feeling you aren’t in the mood to party so you could stay on the second level until it ends.”

you thanked her, grabbing your bag and walking up the stairs. you landed inside of a room as the clothes were inside of the closet. you quickly slipped on the athleisure wear and sat on the bed, trying to calm yourself down from the previous events.

“you okay?” you heard Zemo say from the door. you didn’t respond as you remained looking at your shaky hands, “hey,” he whispered, bending down on one knee looking at you.

“do I look okay?” you replied a bit hastily, “I have money on my head for something I didn’t even do. I’m a criminal now, Zemo. I had no intentions of ever becoming what I am now. I just don’t understand why any of you would do this to someone who was still recovering from the blip!” you exclaimed as tears ran down your face.

Zemo sighed, seeing the look of hurt, distrust, and panic all over your face. he had no idea you’d be this upset with the entire situation but seeing as you looked at the text that had your face with the wanted sign over it, he could tell you were realizing the severity of the situation.

“what do I even tell my mom? my siblings?” you asked, “they have no idea of any of this and now I’m some criminal with a target over my head.” Zemo grabbed your hand and rubbed it softly with his thumb, “I know and after all of this is over, you’ll be free to do whatever you want. you just have to stick through this. we need you here,” he replied.

you growled, “and what do I get out of it? trauma? therapy again?” you retorted. Zemo shook his head as you unknowingly slipped to his side and cried to his shoulder, “possibly but at least you’ll have people by your side this time. I’ll make sure you’ll never have to be by yourself again,” he said.

you looked at him through tear stained eyes and nodded as he brought you in for an embrace. you were comforted by the cologne he was wearing as he sang softly in your ear. it sounded like some lullaby you would’ve heard as a kid.

“promise?” you asked him. Zemo nodded, bending down to give you a kiss. you quickly reciprocated the kiss and had Zemo hold you close as the two of you remained kissing each other, “promise,” he murmured against your lips.

from the crack of the door, Sam and Bucky wanted to interrupt you in order to kill Zemo for even thinking of kissing you but from down the hall, Sharon warned that it wasn’t any of their business to do such a thing.

Sam knew that he had all the consequences falling on him if something happened to you and being that you were now a wanted woman for the killing of Selby, the very least he could do is let you have this with Zemo. he might’ve hated his guts like it was nobodies business but for the time being, you were calm and not trying to kill him or Bucky.
