Eobard Thawne - Oneshot (Flash)
There were times Cisco wondered if the world could send anymore surprises. Time and time again, he kept getting an answer for that question. Because this one had to be crazy. He had the perfect plan for a relaxing Monday morning.
Everyone was working at their actual jobs for once. The city really felt like it was normal for approximately four hours. That's until a freaking pink orb opened right in front of his face inside of star labs.
Of course.
"I don't know what you are but you better beat it!!"
Cisco lifted his hands to vibe whatever it was into oblivion. But a woman stumbled out. He could have imagined it, but her eyes seem to give off a pink glow. She blinked a few times, then shook her head.
"Hello!"
The peppy tone of your voice threw him off guard. Cisco raised a brow, lowering his hands cautiously. He'd clicked the notification on his phone the instant this weird occurrence happened. That's why when Barry zipped in, Cisco wasn't even surprised. Nor did he flinch when he saw Harry break the corner, or Killer Frost walk in with her hands lifted, ready for battle. Caitlin is not far behind with her own weapon of choice.
"Cisco?"
Barry isn't fully sure what's going on.
"I have no idea, she just popped up like a freaking fairy."
"Cupid!" you chirped.
"Pardon?" Harry asked, gun still raised.
"I'm a cupid, and I'm here looking for my soulmate. "
Cisco groaned, lowering his hand with a frustrated groan.
"I JUST WANT PEACE!!" He cried out.
"Oh I love peace. Well and love of course." You giggled. Harry still looked skeptical.
"How do we know she's telling the truth?" He never lowered his guard for an instant. Barry was about to advise Harry against shooting you without probable cause, but an alarm went off.
"Speedster detected."
It blared, and Barry gritted his teeth. This was a foreign signature. That could only mean one thing. It was either some new speedster, or..
"Hello Allen."
All they felt was the wind, and everyone went right back into fight mode.
"Thawne." Barry seethed.
Your eyes turned at the new face, and everything seemed to run in slow motion. He was walking at normal speed, but it appeared so much more clear, alluring. The way he titled his head to stretch his neck, then lick his lips, it made you swallow.
"My soulmate.."
Time returned to normal, and just as Eobard planned to go on a rant on his latest quest, you sidestepped, blocking his view. He looked a bit startled, and so did the rest of Team Flash.
"What are you doing, get away from him!" Barry warned.
You barely flinched, and Eobard grinned.
"What a great turn of events. I could use this to my advantage."
There was nothing more satisfying than watching Barry squirm because of his failure. Eobard has every intention to kidnap you, an unsuspecting citizen and use you as bait to carry out another sinister plan, but the second you took his hand his body went stiff.
"You're my soulmate! What's your name? Do you like ice-cream? Is your favorite color yellow? Personally mine is pink for obvious reasons but I don't mind yellow. Bright colors are fun? Have you ever been to Paris, I can take you! We can go together. It's so romantic!!"
"Forget kidnapping."
He was about to speed out of there and maybe grab a less annoying victim, but shock hit him when his speed refused to go. Barry seemed to catch on, and Eobard's instinct was to force himself out of your clutches, because it's clear whatever your meta abilities were, it was subduing his speed.
"Barry!"
"On it!" He zipped over at Cisco's call, and Eobard was cuffed in a second. He growled, and just like that Eobard was sped into the pipeline. You blinked.
You turned back to them in confusion. When Cisco saw the tears begin to build up, he wasn't ready for the waterworks.
"W-What did you do to my future husband!" You began to wail like a child, and Cisco scrambled.
"What are you talking about? That guy is a freaking psycho!"
"He's my soulmate." You said with puppy dog eyes.
"ARGH!! WHY ME!!" Cisco had reached his breaking point.
~~
After a much needed glass of wine, they had all sat down to hear you out. Because the biggest issue right now was convincing you that Eobard Thawne was not someone you wanted to be with.
"So you're trying to say you're a cupid, and Eobard Thawne is your soulmate?" Iris was playing catch up. Since she'd missed the very chaotic introduction.
"Exactly."
You were sitting in the chair swaying from side to side with the biggest smile. When you learned that he wasn't in some far away desert, calming you down had gone over much smoother.
"I'm confused, aren't cupids meant to match people up" Cisco questions. Harry sends him a look.
"I-I mean if I believe in that stuff."
"We do, I've matched millions of people. But the biggest challenge for a cupid is finding their soulmate. When we're old enough, we go out and search for our soul mate. Of course not everyone is interested in love. But the ones who are like me are usually pretty spot on. We can tell who our soul mates are with just one look. The same way I can tell that the both of you are." You pointed at Iris and Barry.
"That's not very impressive, they're married." Harry scoffed.
"Married?" Your brows knitted, but then you caught on.
"Oh! No, that's not what I meant. I always forget that humans don't see it the way we do. "
You turned your wrist, and a pink glow enveloped the room. When you reached out and tapped Barry's shoulder you smiled. They all stared in interest at red string that stretched from Barry's pinky finger, straight to Iris's. They exchanged a look of awe, and you snapped your fingers. In a matter of seconds, the room had returned to normal as if nothing happened.
"Despite popular belief, true love is very rare. Humanity is so focused on all the wrong things. Personal possessions, war, hate. More often than not I've seen others torn from their loved ones because of such trivial matters. What you both have is special, extraordinary. I'd like to have that too. I can, with Eobard."
Witnessing what you just showed them, it was hard to deny there was more to this than they fully understood. Barry also couldn't risk letting someone as dangerous as Eobard run free. Cupid or not.
"How about we make a deal? If you can help us keep Eobard from hurting people, then we'll help you win his heart."
"Really!"
You were now glowing a bright pink, and Barry took a step back. Cisco elbowed said speedster in his side.
"How the hell are we gonna do that!" He whispered.
"We'll figure it out." He replied, turning back to you.
"Do we have a deal?"
"Of course!!" You hugged Barry, and he was stunned at what felt like fumes of pink mist overcoming his body. When you pulled back, Barry was wearing a dazed smile.
"Uhh, you okay there Barry?" Cisco asked. He nodded.
"Yeah, I just love Iris."
He moved over, hugging her, and they all looked at you for an explanation. Iris merely smiled, patting his back.
"Sorry! Cupid pheromones. Tends to have that effect. Makes people really honest. No worries, it'll wear off in a while."
You went skipping down the hall before they could ask anymore questions. No doubt to visit a certain speedster genius.
~~
"Damn it."
He couldn't believe he'd been subdued so easily.
"I'm getting complacent. "
He let his guard down, surely that would not happen again.
"Hi!"
Eobard jumped back at the woman that appeared as if out of thin air.
"Oof! Sorry did I scare you. I just couldn't stay away." You leaned on the glass with a dreamy sigh, and Eobard took another much needed step back.
"You're so handsome. Who would have thought I had a thing for blonds. Please tell me you don't have a girlfriend already. I didn't see any soul ties when I looked at you."
Eobard was starting to think that he was safer in this prison.
"Who are you, what did you do to me?" He was already pissed. Hopefully you would give him information he could use to get the upper hand.
"I'm a cupid."
For a moment he thought you were pulling his leg, but you were still smiling at him like you'd won the lottery.
"Cupid?"
"That's right!!"
"I'm screwed."
Whoever you were, it's obvious you're crazy. You had to be. Not only had you been blatantly coming onto him since the moment your eyes met, but you must have been powerful, because he didn't imagine his speed leaving his body. You did something to him. The more he listened, the more pissed he was getting.
"How did you take my speed?"
"I didn't. You did that."
"That's ridiculous!!"
You must be messing with him.
Shaking your head, you clicked the button, and the doors began to open. Eobard's eyes hardened, and the second he was free, he zipped forward, or tried to. His speed started to glitch the second he was within three feet of you, and it caused him to tumble, taking you with him. Both your bodies hit the ground. He grunted, and you lifted your head with a soft groan. But the smile never left your face. His eyes opened, and he was taken by the pink glow that reflected off your iris. He wasn't sure if it was the proximity, but for some strange reason he couldn't look away.
"Your eyes are more beautiful up close.."
You whispered mesmerized. Eobard caught himself, about to jump upright. But you took his hand and he knew he was in trouble.
"Sorry, but I made a promise, so it looks like you're stuck with me."
He really needed to find a new hobby.

jayke drabble ; nighlight
inspired by finding hope - nighlight
Jay will never fully understand how the universe works. But he has a never-ending amount of affection for Jake. Despite the constant unpredictability of the universe, Jay is convinced that his world would always be pleasant as long as Jake exists. The little boy with the twinkle in his eyes who always brightens Jay’s day.
He’s not so young; the little boy is in Jay’s age. However, one of his cutest nicknames was "little boy" because of the various emotions he always puts in front of Jay. Jay adores that name, as well as Jake. He didn't mind at all when Jay first addressed him by that name.
Jay remembers how—despite the fact that they are in a platonic relationship—he tries to always be there for Jake, ready to offer Jake his million worlds, lighten Jake’s occasionally dark nights, accompanying Jake during his lowest point, or even wipe away Jake’s tears anytime he feels anxious constantly. Jay realizes this even if at times everything seems exaggerated. Gratefully, Jake doesn't wonder about that.
Who is Jay’s world if someone were to ask? He would proudly answer Jake. Even just Jake’s smile alone is enough to conjure up Jay’s best energies. Though his life might not be as good as Jake’s, his magic always works instantly to bring Jay to life. It even creates him a promise to always take care of Jake since his heart told him that seeing Jake in pain would break his heart.
The only thing Jay has left to hope for is that he can stay as Jake’s light. Jay is sure that he will always be Jake’s best nightlight, regardless of how his little boy may refuse it one day.

What did Emma do after breakup?
Once upon a time, there was a young woman named Emma. She had always been passionate about love and relationships, believing in the power of connection and commitment. But like many of us, Emma found herself navigating the tumultuous waters of heartbreak after a painful breakup.
Feeling lost and overwhelmed by despair, Emma contemplated ending it all. In her darkest moment, she stumbled upon a book titled "Wait A Minute If You’re About To Commit Suicide After Break Up". Intrigued by the title alone, Emma decided to give it a chance, hoping to find a glimmer of hope in her despair.
As she delved into its pages, Emma discovered a treasure trove of wisdom, compassion, and practical advice. The book didn't just offer empty platitudes or quick fixes; instead, it provided a roadmap for healing and growth. It encouraged Emma to pause, reflect, and embrace the pain as an opportunity for personal transformation.
With each chapter, Emma felt a renewed sense of purpose and determination. She learned how to cultivate self-love, set boundaries, and communicate effectively in relationships. She discovered the importance of forgiveness, both for others and for herself. Most importantly, she realized that her worth wasn't defined by her relationship status, but by the love and respect she had for herself.
Armed with newfound resilience and insight, Emma embarked on a journey of self-discovery. She reconnected with old passions, forged new friendships, and pursued her dreams with renewed vigor. Along the way, she encountered challenges and setbacks, but she faced them head-on, knowing that she had the strength and wisdom to overcome.
Years passed, and Emma found herself in a place of contentment and fulfillment she had never imagined possible. She no longer viewed her past heartbreak as a source of pain, but as a catalyst for growth and transformation. And as she looked back on her journey, she realized that the book she had stumbled upon in her darkest hour had been the guiding light that had led her to this place of joy and self-empowerment.
Inspired by her own experience, Emma decided to share her story with the world, hoping to offer solace and guidance to others who were struggling with matters of the heart. She knew that relationships could be messy and complicated, but she also knew that with the right mindset and tools, anyone could emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before.
And so, "Pause, Reflect, and Thrive: Navigating Relationships with Resilience" was born. Filled with personal anecdotes, practical exercises, and heartfelt advice, it became a beacon of hope for countless individuals seeking to heal from heartbreak and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Through her journey, Emma learned that no matter how dark the night may seem, there is always a dawn waiting to break. And for those who are willing to pause, reflect, and embrace the journey with an open heart, the possibilities for growth and transformation are endless.

Echoes of Struggle:
A Journey Through Anxiety
In the shadows of despair, I tread,
Each day a burden, heavy as lead.
Twenty miles I walked, my feet worn,
Fired from work, my spirit torn.
Seeking solace in the library's embrace,
But even there, I can't find grace.
For my broken computer mocks my plight,
A year of silence, no end in sight.
Repair shops refuse, their promises vain,
Lies upon lies, my patience wanes.
Stuck in this cycle, unable to flee,
Anxiety grips, consuming me.
Blacklisted from jobs, a bleak landscape,
Locksmiths deceive, adding to my scrape.
Resistors in my pocket, a glimmer of hope,
Yet doubts linger, like shadows lope.
If they work, a chance to roam,
In search of a haven, a new home.
A computer shop in a distant town,
A flicker of light, before I drown.
But for now, in the depths I'll dwell,
Sleeping for solace, in a silent spell.
Eighteen hours of peace, a fleeting reprieve,
In this world of chaos, I seek to believe.

DEPRESSION
Depression is a common and serious mental illness that negatively affects how you feel the way you think and how you act. It is a mood disorder. Depression causes feelings of sadness, low self-worth, guilt or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home. It differs from simple grief or mourning, which are appropriate emotional responses to the loss of loved persons or objects. Where there are clear grounds for a person’s unhappiness, depression is present if the depressed mood is disproportionately long or severe. Depression can have many causes. Unfavorable life events can increase a person’s vulnerability to depression or trigger a depressive episode. Negative thoughts about oneself and the world are also important in producing and maintaining depressive symptoms.

Hope is a Powerful Motivator
This is my second 90-minute scan since Thursday. Wow, this journey is exhausting. I didn’t fully understand how tough fighting cancer was, and like I keep saying, you never know what someone else might be going through. Be kind. 🤗
Anyway, I can hardly wait to get home, give the kids their charms from the gift shop (they love it 💓), play a board game with Mike, and snuggle Borah.
I met a family from Africa today. They were so grateful to be at the Huntsman specifically. It sounds like this cancer center might be their only hope at beating the exact cancer they’re facing. I need to remember to pray for them. To travel from soooo far away… Just the thought was sobering. And I act like Idaho is far 🤦♀️😅

Title: Finding Inner Peace Amidst the Turmoil: Coping with the Horrible Feelings and the Threat of War
Introduction
In times of turmoil and the looming threat of war, it is natural for individuals to experience a myriad of emotions ranging from fear and anxiety to sadness and anger. These feelings can be overwhelming, making it crucial to find ways to cope and cultivate inner peace. This article explores spiritual practices and perspectives that can help individuals navigate these challenging times, allowing them to find solace and strength within themselves.
I. Acknowledging and Embracing Emotions
It is important to acknowledge and validate the range of emotions that arise in times of uncertainty. Suppressing or denying these feelings can lead to increased distress. Instead, embrace them with compassion and understand that they are a natural response to a difficult situation.
II. Grounding Techniques
Breathing Exercises: Engage in mindful breathing techniques to anchor yourself in the present moment. Inhale deeply, hold for a few seconds, and exhale slowly. This simple practice can help calm the nervous system.
Rooting Visualization: Imagine yourself as a sturdy tree with roots extending deep into the earth. Visualize these roots grounding you, providing stability and strength.
III. Practicing Mindfulness and Presence
Meditation: Dedicate time each day to meditation. Focus on your breath, allowing your mind to quieten. This practice fosters a sense of inner peace and clarity.
Mindful Activities: Engage in activities with full presence. Whether it's walking, eating, or even washing dishes, do so with complete awareness of the sensations and movements involved.
IV. Finding Comfort in Spirituality
Prayer and Affirmations: Engage in prayers or affirmations that resonate with you. Seek comfort in the belief that there is a higher power that provides strength and guidance.
Connecting with a Higher Purpose: Reflect on your life's purpose and how you can contribute positively to the world, even in the midst of uncertainty.
V. Cultivating Compassion and Empathy
Acts of Kindness: Perform small acts of kindness for others. It could be as simple as a kind word, a smile, or offering assistance. These gestures create a ripple effect of positivity.
Loving-Kindness Meditation: Practice sending love and well-wishes to yourself, loved ones, and even those you perceive as adversaries. This practice fosters compassion and understanding.
VI. Seeking Support and Community
Connect with Like-minded Individuals: Join or seek out communities that share your spiritual values. Engaging with others who understand and support you can be immensely comforting.
Professional Guidance: Consider seeking support from spiritual leaders, therapists, or counselors who can provide guidance tailored to your spiritual beliefs.
Conclusion
In times of uncertainty and the threat of war, finding inner peace is not only a solace but a necessity. By acknowledging and embracing our emotions, grounding ourselves, practicing mindfulness, and nurturing our spiritual connection, we can navigate these challenging times with strength and grace. Remember, within each of us lies a wellspring of resilience and peace that can carry us through even the darkest of days. Together, we can emerge from this stronger, more compassionate, and spiritually enriched.

Raphael- (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) Chapter 2
It's been two weeks
At least he thought it was.
They were traveling for a while. Every two days someone would throw food down the stairs for them, and you would feed Raph. You continued to treat him so caringly, even though you barely even knew him. It just made his need to escape that more strong. Because the second he was free, he'd get you both out of this hell hole.
Another thing that was working in his favor was this boat. There had been a leak close to him. While the man responsible for watching just laughed at his clear discomfort with the situation. The water constantly hitting his chains day and night was beginning to rust the already battered chains. Everyday he would give a tug, and he could feel it come just a bit loose. It was only a matter of time. The next time that asshole came to visit, he would test his theory.
"Ya know if you keep giving me all your food I'm gonna owe you a pretty hefty amount of pizza."
You smiled, wiping the crumbs from the side of his lips. Usually you would take a couple of bites from your meal and give the rest to Raph. The same with your water. He spent the first week protesting and he'd only managed to come to a compromise by refusing to eat until you had a decent amount. The one thing he began to look forward to was your smiles. Your hand was still lingering on his cheek for a moment, and he thought nothing of it, until he saw the distracted look on your face.
"Ya good?"
You blinked, and he could have sworn he saw redness tint your cheeks. You pulled your hand back so quickly. He wasn't sure what to make of that, but decided not to probe. His eyes moved to the chain, the feel of water trickling down his wrist. He smirked, giving a harsh pull, and this time he heard the wood creak. Your eyes widened just a little, and Raph's grin grew.
"I told you, we're getting out of here pretty soon." It just needed another nudge. He intended to do so, but the door opened above, and Raph gritted his teeth.
"Shit."
He muttered under his breath. He needed to remain neutral. Because if they even sense that he was close to escaping they would definitely knock him out and bind him with tougher chains. He expected it to be the usual jackass, but this was a blond man. When he was down the staircase, his lips spread into a wide smile. The look you sent the male was one of horror, and Raph realized at that moment that this was him.
Don.
The boss of this operation. You made a dash for the corner, and Don laughed, following you. He grabbed you by the collar, shoving you to the ground as you kicked and thrashed.
Raph hated feeling so useless. He didn't care if he was discovered, he pulled against his binds.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!!"
Don started ripping at your clothes, and Raph snapped. He yelled as he forced himself forward, and he took out the entire piece of wood right from the wall. Don turned in shock, and in a matter of seconds, he was thrown across the room. You were picking yourself off the ground as you continued to cry. Don was on the floor, unconscious.
Raph could hear shuffling above deck. There's no doubt they'd heard the commotion. Raph moved to you immediately, and you ran right into his chest. He held unto you, relief rushing over his body. He didn't realize how much he'd wanted to hold you in the short time you'd both been stuck here. He pulled away after a few seconds, running a hand over your cheek. His eyes caught the collar, and his anger returned. He placed his hands on either side of the metal, snapping it apart as if it were paper. You just stared at him in astonishment.
"You're free now. They aint gonna control ya anymore."
You just looked at him.
"Thank you."
Raph gaped.
"Ya can talk!!"
Bodies began filling down the stairs, and you stood, stepping in front of Raph. You lifted your hand, and he was shocked at the blast that shot out. The men were thrown backwards. A noticeable hole now at the side of the boat.
Raph had read the entire situation wrong.
The biggest threat here was clearly you.
You pointed one hand to the ceiling, and the beam of light shot up, shattering it. You didn't even flinch at the rubble that came crashing down. You used both hands now as a lift as you fired them at your feet. The rip of red flames gives you a boost into the air. Raph was still trying to collect himself. But he could hear the screams from above. He raced to the top, following the many yells of men aboard.
On his way there he encountered at least a dozen. Some carrying guns, others just picking up whatever was in sight. Raph spun when the shots fired, using his shell as a shield as he waited for them to empty their clips. It didn't even get that far. Because the two men that were shooting at him screamed. Raph looked over, stunned when you grabbed one by the arm, throwing him off the boat. The strength you possessed seems unreal. So is the golden glow that is now present in your eyes.
This entire time he'd been so hell bent on protecting you, but the roles were vastly reversed. You were quite literally saving him.
Every man that came in his general direction was tossed or swung the other way. You were taking them out left and right. Raph was watching your back as he dealt with the ones that you couldn't see from behind. Without his sais he was still holding his own. So were you. Various areas on the boat were either broken, or on fire. He found himself now searching for an exit. Leo was always good at having a plan. He'd picked it up from Leo.
Even if he didn't want to admit it.
Raph punched another guy, and when you turned to him, Raph could see the many bodies either groaning or unconscious. He felt a bit relieved, running to the side of the boat to search for a safety raft. Or anything honestly. You were no longer in fight mode, hands lowering. When Raph spotted a small boat at the back, he felt relieved. He turned to explain the plan, but his eyes widened in alarm at the man standing behind you with a gun in hand.
"WATCH OUT!!"
You turned at the yell. Before Don could fire the weapon, you grabbed him by the throat. You squeezed, and he gasped, dropping the gun as he fought to regain his breath. Raph could see the clear pain in your eyes. There was a story there. When the golden light returned to your orbs, and you began charging up the energy in your palm, Raph panicked.
He rushed over to you.
"Ya can't kill him okay. Trust me I wanna pummel him too, but ya can't. We aint monsters."
Raph could not physically see your pupils, but he saw the tears that ran down your cheeks. Your hands were trembling. This man treated the both of you like animals. Raph wanted nothing more than to return the favor, but his father always taught him better. Fighting pain with pain was not the way to go. These men needed justice. You needed justice. Not revenge.
Raph reached for your arm, lowering it slowly, and the light at the center of your palm slowly disappeared. So did that glow in your eyes. You released Don, and his body crashed to the floor. A device fell out of his pocket as he tried to catch his breath. Raph saw the phone, doing a silent cheer. Things were starting to look up.
Don raised his head.
"Y-You monsters will never-" Raph delivered a sharp punch to the jaw, knocking him out cold.
You just stared at him.
"He deserved it."
A smile made its way on your face.

Finding Hope in Prayer
Hello, hopeful souls! Today, on #PrayerTimeThursday, let's talk about finding hope through prayer. In times of darkness and despair, prayer is a beacon of hope that guides us towards the light of God's promises.
When we pray, we lift our eyes above our circumstances, fixing our gaze on the Author of hope. Let us remember that God is faithful and that in Him, we find the strength to endure and the hope that does not disappoint.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we find hope in you through prayer. May we cling to your promises and trust in your unfailing love, knowing that you are our hope and our salvation. Amen.
