BBRae Week 2021 - Day 2: Poolside

All in all, it was not the worst stake out they could have been on. Sure, it was abysmally hot and she felt strangely more exposed in the one piece swimsuit than she normally felt in her leotard, but she wasn’t trekking through a sewer or pushing through the unwashed masses in a convention center, so the annoyances were comparatively minor. Quite frankly, most stake outs didn’t have iced tea, large, shady umbrellas, or loungers to lay back on.

Even Robin had started to relax after the fourth day of forced downtime while each of them took solo or paired turns watching the lone entrance to the resort. It was day six, now, and she could feel him try to muster up annoyance at the wasted time. Each attempt didn’t last long. It was interrupted by calm – Jump was being watched over by a rotation of heroes, pride – Batman had specifically asked for his help watching the site, and, of course, the roaring, distracting buzz of attraction towards Starfire’s bikini-clad form. Years into dating and he still couldn’t overcome the inertia of his awkwardness to just tell her how much he wanted her. It was almost funny, if there weren’t so much secondhand embarrassment.

Speaking of fumbling, she felt a whiplash sensation of joy from the shallow end of the pool where two men threw a pool football back and forth in increasingly challenging tosses for seemingly no reason at all. This particular spike came from the tanned, lean-muscled form of a disguised Garfield Logan leaping to catch a throw from across the pool and laughing as he fell back into the water. She tried to go back to her book – a popular sword and sorcery series that let her fit in with the crowd of what seemed to be honeymooning newlyweds and overwintering retirees. It wasn’t exactly her type of novel, but it had its own so-shallow-it’s-hypnotic sort of appeal. It almost worked, except for the satisfied hum of relaxed happiness blaring out of the carelessly splashing changeling. Typical of him. She glanced up at him again, and froze. He levered himself out of the pool with just his arms, back and shoulder muscles tightening and lifting him out of the water, rivulets dripping down and catching the baking sunlight. She stared, and a little voice in her head told her it was okay to stare. She wore dark sunglasses, was sitting back, away from everyone, and even if she was seen, no one would believe that Raven, staid, sober Raven, would stoop to ogling a teammate – more, her best friend.

She watched his arms flex and his torso twist as he hurled the ball back towards the unfamiliar form of Cyborg in his disguised, organic appearance. He threw his head back in loud laughter when Victor did something presumably juvenile and apparently hilarious, but she didn’t see or care what. Suddenly self-conscious, she looked back at her book and read a paragraph without absorbing a word. This was a problem. She didn’t stare. She never stared. At anyone. Perhaps the heat was getting to her.

She reached out and grasped her glass of iced tea in hopes of cooling her obviously heat stroke afflicted mind, brought the straw to her lips, and nearly dropped both the cup and her book when she felt a wash of something like Robin’s attraction to Starfire, but more raw, more honest and with absolutely zero shame or self-consciousness. Her head jerked up, and she barely caught a glimpse of blond hair turning away from her, lightning-fast. ‘Well, now,’ she thought. ‘That’s… different.’ Not exactly new, per se. She knew there had been attraction, in the past. She had just thought it had been left behind, like the rest of his impossible crushes. This was certainly not left behind though; it was fresh, strong, and almost immediately pushed into the background behind of all the other emotions that blared out like a lighthouse beacon from him.

It was possible, of course, that it could have been for someone else around the pool. She furrowed her brow. It was, wasn’t it? She wasn’t in anything particularly revealing, and there were plenty of other attractive women around. Maybe it was another vacuous crush on a passing blonde. Maybe it meant nothing, and she only noticed it because of how focused on him she was. Anyway, he was back to focusing on other things. She supposed, well, she supposed she could put it to the test. It wouldn’t be cruel just to test her hypothesis, and if he did have an attraction, it was important to know about it. For purely pragmatic reasons, of course. It wouldn’t do to have him get… distracted in a crisis. She smirked, then forced her face back into placid relaxation.

She set down her book, stood up, carefully positioned herself to place him almost entirely outside her line of sight, and stretched, arching her back and sighing. She expected him to look, and to feel the surge of lust washing out from him, but did not expect the Victor’s next Nerf ball throw to slip through Garfield’s frozen hands and smack him in the face with an abrupt *plap* and a pained grunt. The tide of emotion stopped and she whirled about while Gar clasped his hands to his rapidly bruising nose and waved off Victor’s concerned approach as he moved quickly enough through the water to make waves.

He attempted to wave her off, as well. “*Hrnk* ‘m fine, Rae,” he said, nasally. “Pruney hands just missed the ball.”

“Well come on anyway. You’re going to get blood in the pool,” she responded, waiting for him to rise and accompany her. “It can’t hurt to make sure it’s not broken.”

He looked a little defeated, but stood up in an acrobatic little maneuver of the feet that left both his hands stopping blood from getting everywhere. “Lead on, then, Ms. Doctor.”

She bade him sit on her isolated lounger and retrieved the pool’s first aid kit, then sat down accidentally just too close to him for either of their comfort. “Keep your head straight. I need to know if you managed to break it. No, not like that.” She reached out and with firm, but gentle hands steered his head into position. As she did, her forearms touched his shoulders, and the warmth of his sun-kissed skin surprised her.

She refocused, looked carefully at the slope of his nose from multiple angles and whispered “Shh”, then touched the bridge with an energy encased hand and drew the pain of the injury out, into her, and breathed it away.

Garfield seemed surprised, but in no way unhappy. He whispered back, “Thanks, Rae. Rob woulda been on us if he knew you were using your powers though.”

Raven smirked, “What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him. Any I’m not going to tell, are you?”

A sudden laugh burst out of Gar. “Not a chance. Thanks again, Rae.” With those words, there was a clarity of emotion through the normal chaotic, vibrant depths in her friend. It was simple, and direct, and honest in a way that neither of them was particularly experienced at. And his smile felt as warm as his shoulders did. He slipped his hand into hers and helped her up, and ‘God she had to have been blind’ was all that went through her head as he held on for just a heartbeat too long and an eternity too short, leading her up the path. “Now come on, Cy’s probably got a new surfer girl to chase, and I think you’ll like one of the more private pools.”

When his hand left hers, her step faltered for an instant before she caught up with him, walking side by side, basking in the warmth.

Something to remember.

Round 2!: @taiyuu-high-oct The hotel chase as most of it’s idea and small happenings rightfully credited to @gravityechoes  Thistle made them up originally and ily for that. Sorry I just copied most of it. Tsuki rightfully also belongs to @gravityechoes ! Moya belongs to me! I included some snip bits from @astryelle and @scoutdolphin round two’s! AT least the parts that included Moya shjasd,,,  Go check em out they’re all so lovely !! fhjvasd   Ah, the second round. Something that would...probably be happening often every once in a while. Buildings upon buildings of different heights, shapes, and designs lay behind these grand towering gates of Taiyuu's 'sundown zone'. And right in front of those grand gates, were a group of students with two teachers. The kids of all heights in the gym outfits, listening in. As the cloud kid, moya was listening to what the teachers were saying about what would happen in this dainty little test of theirs. As one of the students, he felt pumped! I mean, shouldn't he? With this test, a person with his quirk could be fit to easily win...As you can team up with others too! With their 'collab zone.' As this should be fit for an adrenaline rush, right?! I mean he was just looking at it in silence. Brows raised as his expression was akin to having his mouth dropped by a little. But looking around, eyes darting, it seems some of his classmates had already begun chatting with each other shortly. Things like strategies and how they could work together... He frowned ever so slightly behind the mechanical mask that was provided by the school.

  Knees up to his chest as he held his crossed arms that rested upon his knees. Groaning into his arms, as he thought about that other test and this one, the last round was bad...this one might even be worse!!!! Plus everyone in the class smart enough which they all are. Already knows that moya can hold himself up just fine. He even knew this fact, so why even bother?? Especially with any of them. He sighs as he furrowed his brows, moving his face upwards on his long-sleeved arms of his gym uniform. ‘...Those ten minutes must be over by now huh..’ he though in a thoughtless state. Just his eyes above the bridge of the nose weren't touching the cloth. "...This total disaster..!" He muttered as he leaned to the right. His head touching the stall door as his head clouds turn into a blueish grey. He'll stress out more if the same thing as last time could happen!! It might and probably will! He's like a loose cannon! His quirk was a disaster and so was he! It was a disaster! As moya was currently in the restroom! Before he made a pitiful expression as he looks down at his posture. He's pitying himself. He even made up an excuse to run down here! Usually, he's stress-free himself by yelling out his problems and opinions into a cloud but...the test had to be done right outside the door-! Agh! He sulked as he bit his bottom lip and balled up his hands. The last round's conclusion made him stress out, it's been on his mind. 

  The buzzing was heard, "...you know. You have that mask to prevent all your worries right? 'moya.' " An almost digital yet mechanical voice resounded from the empty bathroom. It made moya furrow his brows even more. Lin. Yeah, lin...the person who resembles twin brother. Is it a coincidence? A hairstyle change? His twin he can't remember the face of, was it this guy? He clicked his tongue, looking up from his bangs and slightly glaring at the digital bee. Making it float back abit. "...ok. Now I know your 'stress' can make you like this. But you need the mask. Put it on. You want to pass right? If so then just stop being a child, you know I care. I know you care. So stop refusing it-" 

  "But if I do then I'd be too powerful!" He shouted in an angry sneer. Punching the stalled wall to his right. ...Silence followed as a sigh came out. "You. No one cares if you're.... powerful. And you shouldn't because if you think your stupid rule of restraining your 100 percent is going to help you, it won't. Wake up you bafoon." The bee stated in a slightly harsh but glitched tone of voice.

  More silence followed. He huffed as he gripped the mask tightly. "...It's not stress. I just..." He balled up his hands as he stood in the stall, neck bent over and leaning as his wild long hair drooped down his shoulder. "I just... don't want to depend too much on this." He said quietly before raising his head and silently taking a long inhale. Exhaling as he blinked, looking up at the ceiling in slightly drooped eyes. His normal school face, usually behind a cloth mask. He exits, walking out with quiet taps. "...you know these people made it. So why would you deny it." A frowning silhouette behind a screen. Showing what was in the empty bathroom, he stated quietly in a slick tone. Seems...angry. The silent bee stated in the empty bathroom. Going back it buzzed, into the sewers it goes as it heads there. This time. Moya had strapped the mask tightly into his neck. 

  Going back on the list of who versus who, it seems moya was going to fight the...moon kid. Wait does he know anything other than the moon kid part? She was a new student of the other class alongside ameko right? If so then that's bound to happen. Researching wasn't the problem as it wasn't his style to just go research. See it for himself? Heck yeah! Wait no! This was a new transfer so researching was impeccable to even start to do! He pities Tsuki for just attending a test after the exam... especially on her first day. As the two stared each other down, this was what was going on in moya's head. But to the present, now here he was. Face to face with the moon girl...Well with the standing gal. He wasn't really on the ground, more on a normal cloud. When the gal blinked after a couple of times it just made him raise an eyebrow and narrow his eyes. Was there something wrong? Or is it the dust that came from the ceilings of these dirt buildings got into her eye? Not that it's his problem... as he takes a quick breath. He didn't even bother putting on the mask. Relying on such things is materialistic. ...A hidden side to the quiet cloud kid who seems to have such a powerful quirk. It was dead silence... not that moya minds. 

  His arms ley one his thighs, as he'd been closing his eyes in concentration and gathering the nearby lingering water vapor from the air. They gathered around his arms in a thin mist, swirling around and such and the swirls of a stormcloud started to appear. Up until a hollow cry resounded, but the moment it did, he started to make his move. With the thin mist gathering itself, faster and quicker, it would head straight for Tsuki. Almost shooting at her as the electricity pops and crackles. It's what he intended, as this would probably give him time to search for the orb and get ahead. But upon seeing Tsuki dodge by hiding behind a plush armchair, he raised both brows. This...what good reflex and quick-witted thinking. As expected, such a quick-witted transfer in taiyuu is only expected. Since the principle' entrance exam...he narrowed his eyes at the memory of his chaotic entrance exam.  

  Upon the cloud hitting the chair, the electricity it held was automatically shattered. Making the chair a conductor-like sponge to the electricity The thundering, booming sounds of it made moya also cover his ears. Loud noises hurt after all. But that didn't impact his mad concentration as he was without his mask. He can work on calming his stress after all, as he bit his lip. Using a hand and straining it harshly as he made a claw-like gesture with his hand. Keeping the focus on the dispersing pieces he stitched them together by balling up his trained hand that showed some of the skeletal on his hand. Able to stitch them up isn't really hard. Just have to bring back the emotion you felt when summoning it and push them together into one certain dotted spot. Though it's weakened due to its normal state is disordered. So the lightning is weaker, as he decides to send it after Tsuki again. But it was a surprise, to see it's weaponized lightning, flash through Tsuki's arm. Instead of landing the hit on Tsuki, it hit and scorched the wall behind Tsuki... More so it seems abit transparent? The awkward silence was there as he inhaled, letting the mild embarrassment take place. It didn't show up on his face but only on his head clouds as they turned a cotton candy pink. Seems like his concentration failed and the cloud disperses, as the surprise attack from Tsuki interrupted his concentration.

  "Sorry it looks like I'm not all there" She stated in the wide grin.  Making Moya narrow his eyes at her, lazy double lidded eyes sleeked down as he frowned. Grinning like that is making him more embarrassed... As she made her move when vaulting over the chair. Swinging and throwing the many pebbles at him and dashing towards him, he grabbed his cloud and dodged when she swung at him. But with the vase shattering and Tsuki getting hurt from it's shattered grounds, he just furrowed his brows. What even was the point of that? It reminded him of Kiru's recklessness and Lyrimon's nature. He just rolled his eyes, just before he spotted, for a few seconds, the orb. It was in the koi fish pond, with a fish just nibbling at it. Though it seems he gave it away to the enemy as his eyes flickered back to Tsuki. 

  Just like that, the two dashed for it just at the same time. Tsuki starting to gain the lead made moya go into alert. Having to make his cloud dash he opens a palm up where the air was wiping past it, he managed to make a medium-small cloud. Lightning, again. As he aimed it at Tsuki' back when she was pulling ahead. He still held the solemn frown even when it landed. He did pity her for having to absorb his attack, but a test is a test. And he's eager to win. As he zipped past her and scooped up the orb, heading to the stairs quickly running off on his dainty little cloud ride. 

  "...That should hold her off. Maybe for a while or not, it doesn't matter." He muttered to himself smirking as the area around him was in a slight semi blur, he was trying to go fast after all. If ameko saw him not going original cloud speed, she'd probably give him a ticket for speeding. He continued his way out and to his goal, sweet sweet victory was right in front of him! If he can keep up the speed he can make it! 

  ...That was how it should be. But to his feelings of demise, there was a girl who jumped out the window yelling a battle. "How original.." He muttered under his breath at the moment he faintly heard glass breaking. But it seems something passed right through him. Making him slightly pause as he felt akin to convulsing and a bad searing flash of dizzy-o'-clock. As he ent over slightly, he looked back up when he felt that the orb wasn't with him anymore. Anxiety is rising as he looked up. The gloves of Tsuki were found, alongside the fact she was sprinting to the goal she was supposed to take the orb to-!!! He narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brows as he materialized another stormcloud. Besides the other cloud that was a fiery but crackling one. It's texture and looks akin to magma leaking out of a hardened volcanic floor. Moya was gripping his head since extreme emotions able to bring out another cloud that was bothersome. Adding that stress to the feeling of Tsuki's going through him made his head spin. Migraines of repeating the same emotion cloud were the cause. He can't keep repeat and hold it together with the same emotion every time! As usual, the stormcloud one went over to block and intercept Tsuki like last time, but she detoured.

  By the end of his little recovery, he lost Tsuki. Making him click his tongue and disperse the two power clouds. As he decided to float above to find his opponent. Her goal line was vacant, so she must be hiding. He even thought so! Just seeing her goal vacant gave him ease to his anxiety. He was nearing the collab zone but didn't notice. He's too busy trying to find Tsuki.

All of a sudden.

“Kemuri. I need a favor.”

He perked up in surprise, going to look at the source. He narrowed his brows and eyes.

This...

  Lana. Ah, the very intimidating wait no who said anything about intimidating? Ahaha... well she’s the stoic gargoyle gal who's with the dramatic gakusa and the all-around excited ameko. The usual trio of taiyuu. ...Despite the class tests of which class is better than the other!! He raised both eyebrows as he listened to what she had to say. Besides he's gotta hurry. Tsubame-san heading straight for her goal when he's distracted is something moya doesn't want. He does feel bad though since she's quite remarkable. ..But remarkable people can deal with these things normally. He can't stay for chit chat as he pondered. So he'll try to speed this talk up. Looking around his area when speaking.

 "Alright."

 “Could you put cloud coverr overr the field?” 

“Why?”

“I need to catch Tokei.”

  He paused, but just so quickly. Time is ticking after all. He nodded. “Alright,” Moya stated as he took a hefty sigh, using the surrounding water vapor left in the air he focused on turning them into clouds. Thick but not enough to materialize and hold people. This should do. Especially to at least block his opponent' sights from going to their goal, at least for a little. ...That's to say if tsubame was still away from her goal. With Svetlana turning to moya all ear twitchy, she pointed to a tall shopfront hotel. Making him raise both eyebrows, go sharp-eyed, posture himself, and then thank her. He didn't bother saying goodbye and didn't pay attention to her going back to her field. He's sure she did the same because that's Lana.

  Ah. The cover should also block Tsuki's line of sight! Since all she's got is the glowing orb and a quirk that relies on sight, this could be easy to do for a trick!  He gave a small smirk at this, though it was quite naughty of him to do so. As he motioned most of the cloudy cover to go ahead and block the majority of the windows on the storefront. He'll have to thank Lana for this ingenious idea of covering the playing field-! Motioning them as he sat on his cloud abit above and outside the building, he proceeded to either. Dense it till she goes back out or dense it till she goes back out. The clouds were normal after all, so they didn't really hinder his headaches nor cause any. As he was upon his cloud. In an upper position where he can see if they exit out of the roof or emerge from the door or windows. As he's just hovering near Tsuki's goal line! The rows of many window seats on the front or left side. He's maximizing the dense cloudiness, eyes narrowing upwards as its surrounding clouds are turning into more of a shield and thick layer around the building. But he'll have to keep in mind, the clouds and denseness need to always be upheld. Keep that one solemn emotion in check, boy!

  With his very proud work, he decides to head in, as he swore he spotted a figure running up the stairs from the second-floor' windows. He motions his cloud by gripping it, balling up, and making it crash headfirst into the window of the third floor. Relieved that he wasn't harmed, he went to the staircase where he saw the figure running up. Sure enough with the speed from earlier, he managed to catch up and spot Tsuki right in front of him!! As he was flying on his cloud he kept his sharp sights on Tsuki. With her laughing when he reached the barricade, he made a smirk that might've burst into a snicker. But it didn't as he kept it on the down-low as he flew right over it. ..SHe was obviously proud and in hopes, this would stop him. Sadly it didn't, and that was quite pitiful to Moya. He did hide the expression though, per usual. 

  The sharp turn she took and the sound of a door slam made him squint just by a bit. As he furrowed his brows as he looked to see Tsuki's hand clip through the door. Holding and hooking a sign of 'Do Not Disturb' onto the doorknob as he darted near the room. Just staring at the sign for abit he rubbed his temples, this wasn't a game of goose but it's turning into one. He let a small laugh escape as he sighed, even if he denied it this adrenaline rush he was feeling was quite fun to have. Though if she keeps up the twists and turns he's gonna have a bigger migraine. Even so, he still did a small prayer for the door. Especially about what's about to happen. He automatically threw the door open. And there to greet him was the playful words of Tsuki, alongside the fact he saw her holding a pillow up ferociously like a weapon in defense. 

  'Must be shielding the orb though' he thought. Tsuki showed a dismayed expression to him. 

  "Didn't you read the sign?" Tsuki stated in a serious manner.

  This made him let out a surprised bark of laughter. He didn't mean to but is that really what you say when your opponent is back here face to face with you? And about to steal your most precious prize for victory! But a test is a test. And playtime was over, so he lifted a hand to send a cloud over. Was it to retrieve the orb? Yes, yes it was. But upon Tsuki baseballing, it to homerun moya couldn't believe his eyes. What the- he thought and before they can escape his mouth he fell over. The disturbance of one cloud dispersing mid-sentence and colliding to clip his travel cloud was something. As he blinked in a daze, he saw a fluffy white pillow come into contact. Quickly snatching it and still in a slight daze. 

"Pillow fight. Me, you"

  He paused. It was the confusion of course! But with Tsuki crashing out of the window and not showing her quirk out yet..he was still abit paranoid and anxious. Was she hiding it and will continue? He didn't bother learning about her before. So he obliged. Nodding his head by a millimeter he stood up and straightened himself. He didn't really have a problem with this, so he came in swinging! Tsuki's surprised cackle and energetic jumping reminded him of ameko's high-end energy exterior. Though with her added recklessness and gameplay attitude of this whole thing... it made him think of her like a dog. Making him summon a cloud of ice. 

  Why did he think of such disappointing things, having him grow cold? He didn't like how he connected any of the people he thought of. This was the second day and the second test after all. He'll just have to repress them.  As he attached the ice-cold cloud onto his pillow, the two continued to have a pillow fight. With Tsuki's pillow growing colder, he's sure if she kept looking like she is ignoring it, then he can at least immobilize her for abit. Testing how she can handle temperatures in the meantime process too! As she backed against the wall, he got a solid hit in! Making him smile but. That expression turned upside down as he saw her go through the wall. 'Ah..her.. quirk..' He panicked. The cloud cover outside dispersed, as his eyes widened and quickly opened one of the windows from the room he was in on the same wall Tsuki fell through. He scrunched his brows down as he looked down. As he summoned one of the normal and dense ones, sending it straight spiraling down as it did. Angling down and around Tsuki as it caught her. As he was leaning out the wall in a panicked expression, calming and relieved once Tsuki was safely caught. He eased up his strained body and hung his head down for abit. Looking back at Tsuki it seems she was just dangling on the cloud.

  Bringing the cloud up slowly and safely, Tsuki tumbled through the window as moya was a few feet away. Also on the floor. He was sitting with his legs to his chest. Slightly away from each other he was breathless and the terrified expression still lingered on his face. "A...Are you okay? When you fell- I almost had a heart attack. I had no idea..-" He stated in a blunder. Looking at the ground with downward angled brows he put a palm to his forehead. Watching Tsuki roll over and get to her feet, she lay a hand on her chest. Seems she was also frightened... he doesn't even know what to think of this situation as he bit his bottom lip. Before looking back up and darting his eyes to the orb in the corner, Tsuki walking into view and actually giving him the orb. He raised both brows and eyes widened by a little. 

"Here."

  He was. Speechless to say. He was confused too. I mean who wouldn't be? Just giving your winning ticket to your enemy isn't something easy to do. No. Usually, you just don't hand over the golden goose to your opponent. He just looked at the orb then back at Tsuki. The confusion was easily read on his face because of how he furrowed his brows in a confusing matter. 

"Take it. I. uh." He tilted his head at Tsuki who started to circle a hand in the air. She seemed to have trouble with what to decide on saying. So he just waited patiently for an explanation in his sitting position. 

“You didn’t have to help me. But you did. And, I appreciate that. It was just, well. Incredibly honorable. And sweet. I’m bad with words- just take it?”

He was touched. When people fall or get hurt in the action right in front of him it... makes him uncomfortable, thinking about the aftermaths. After all, they'd suffer. Both in the aftermath and during it. Nonetheless, he was touched.  Making him lean into just more respect for Tsuki.  But he scrunched his brows down by a little. As the concern wasn't fully evaporated after all. He could leave, but then what about the aftermath? He'd be a terrible person if Tsuki was still hurt. Alongside the fact that he'd of left her when she just gave him the golden goose. He straightened himself up and got to his feet, clouds were starting to form as he furrowed his brows in concern.

"...Are you sure you’re okay?” Worry still lingering in that solemn tone of his.

Tsuki waved a hand dismissively. “I will be. I just need a minute. It’ll give you a headstart.”

  Yeah due to Tsuki he's doubting whether he should go easy and let her win or just be the same as the start of this test. He bit his lip since this was such a respectable and strong opponent. Both nice and determined. It makes him almost feel bad for going to go hard on winning. Almost. He gave a small nod before rushing out, the lightly pulsing orb was in his hands and the small hyper adrenaline rush was growing. Kind of exciting. Making him materialize a storm cloud that would follow! As he ran, he summoned a cloud after a few loud thumps going downwards! Surfing his way out and about he would find himself in the kitchen. But before he could continue Tsuki appeared! In shock and surprise, he almost dropped the orb. Giving her the time to roundhouse kick the orb out of Moya's grasp. Well, it did work, and it seems she did it with mitts?? Especially when she threw the mitts off to grab the orb and runoff through the kitchen counter. This was alarming, so grabbing what was around he quickly threw a frying pan into his cloud through it so it could clip Tsuki. Success! Though he's sorry for making her fall and clipping her again with electricity. 

  Snatching the orb he skittered off, booking it yeah. Did he forget he could just ride a cloud? No. In fact, he can't right now because the stormed power cloud actually sucked up all the remaining water vapor. Alongside the fact moya's abit thirsty, he can't make a cloud! Should he have been reckless when running? No. Only in a seeable extreme success for defeat, he will! But with the sudden pan he threw to hinder Tsuki, it seems it'd been there to hinder him also!! Not knowing the fact Tsuki seemed to have thrown it. Dam you frying pan! He cursed in his head, taking back the prayers he did for the items whenever chaotic scuffles happened with the item in it. As he got floored, Tsuki got away with the orb! Booking it as he disperses the storm cloud and reusing the water vapor, he managed to grab himself a normal rideable one! He chases after. But upon seeing the elevator door closing he panicked and yelled.

"Hold the door!" Moya yelled in a panic.

  Seems it was too late as he halted his cloud to a stop. In disbelief, he bit his lip as he looked out the window. Inhaling for a brief moment he facepalmed. Yeah. And Tsuki must be waiting too. He decided to zoom up the staircase. I mean its faster right? So he took no time to head up to the rooftop. Minutes later he made it! Giving a brief but relaxed sigh he stepped out....well now it is not calm because there to greet him was a full-on a fist! Sending him sprawling! Reminding him of his slow reactions and how weak his strength actually was, it was all fine. As he lay there just in a daze there was a panicked voice.

“Oh my gosh, I didn’t mean to hit that hard! I am so sorry, is anything broken?”

  He blinked. This sure was a day for dazing.. he swears he saw stars and everything covered in black and grey dots. Someone was holding his jaw as he squinted abruptly. 'Ah. It was Tsuki? Did she hit me? Is that what happened?' He thought in the recovering daze. But thinking about it more he, internally panicked. Embarrassment and how a woman is touching him, this wasn't supposed to happen!!! ..Not that he likes women of course. Oh no, he's not interested in them in that way. But a person of the opposite gender let alone his opponent was touching his face. It made his head clouds turn a brightly strong sunset pink. Surprise and a mixture of emotions were lingering in them. Because now he's just holding his breath in! 

He gave a slight sigh of relief when Tsuki backed away. Touching his own jaw, of course, wincing even so. As his eyebrows were doing a slight dance.

"Sorry" She kept on repeating that word. "I didn't think that would actually work. Usually, people figure that one out and dodge! What a terrible first impression this has been, huh? Anyway. Uh, sorry about that." 

He didn't really....... 'mind' it. Things happen and things go after all. But he grimaced, stopping his brows from continuing that dance. He tasted blood, swallowing the taste. The test...still needed. to be. continued. He reorganized his jaw, well tried to, though he winced anyway. "...I bit my tongue." He said in a semi daze, rubbing his forehead and temples.

"Are you good?" She seemed to have shifted. As he can hear it. "I mean, you want to keep on going?"

He paused, blinking before covering his face, sighing a huff. Trying to readjust his jaw again he also once again, processed what had happened. Now that he's gone over it he... he's embarrassed. Embarrassed like major embarrassed-! 

Nonetheless..He gathered himself as he uncovered his face and shrugged. "...I mean if you are.?" He stood up and cracked his neck. Readjusting his shoulders he gave a solemn thumbs up.  Clouds summoned behind moya, three of them in fact. As he made his stance in a ready position, so did Tsuki. Them shrugging in return and charging straight at him. Both of the clouds darted and shot at her.

  With this turning into something like dodgeball, it was fun. At least for moya! As it is like dodgeball. But this time you have to watch the front and back! What a specialty! Also with it being on a storefront hotel rooftop. With Tsuki trying to dodge each flying cloud moya keeps throwing. Well, there were only two but he's juggling them and the cover. As he is making the two direct clouds come back every time and much faster as the more he concentrates the more quickly they become... Holding his head he feels like his head might burst..!! A leaking smile was appearing as the overwhelming feeling is there. And growing. He can't let Tsuki go. And he's sure he can't confuse her again because from this shop front' hotel height.. you can see the goals, at least make it out. He can't keep this up. But things took another tide as it seems the orb decided to fly to moya. In surprise and shock, he disperses the clouds he's tried so so hard to keep in contact. This... Tamashi. Tamashi must've done this he thought he subconsciously nodded his head. Before seeing Tsuki in alarm and running towards him, moya immediately jumped backward, and pacing stepped backward. 

  Quickly, away. He can't let her have this as he moves quickly. He neared the ledge of the building! But it seems Tsuki decided to skid against the floor and using her leg to hook her foot around his. As she flew between his legs and pulled him down before rushing back toward the orb. Making him falter unexpectedly on his chest. Closing his eyes because it was all of a sudden and he doesn't enjoy falling. Does anyone? But a cloud was there. Under him and reaching themselves as he hovered above some of the building' rooftop. But the orb wasn't there.. wait it was rolling!! The two paused and watched it fall off the ledge it went as Tsuki darted. So did moya.

 Specifically, he flung himself. Going past Tsuki and spinning he, successfully launched himself off the ledge and pretty quickly. This was the only way to beat a pretty athletic opponent, as in moya's sense. You can also say he's slightly abit cocky in his ability, despite wanting to restrain it. As he spun towards another building across he managed to use the wind rushing past him, for another cloud. Having him sink into it he made a swift chop to the extending cloud and make it go after the orb. As his eyes were locked onto its glow, seems that Tsuki also dived for it. It was almost in her reach too! Before a cloud darted and stuck to it, grabbing it and flying over to moya. The orb sticking like a piece of honey! ALongside moya' weirdly angled yet rectangular cloud bed going flat like a bed, he was laying straight on his stomach now as the cloud dropped the orb to his open palms. As to get to him now, you'll have to walk over and jump off a building! His location in the slight middle of half of the field near Tsuki's goal. This made him look at the orb before looking back down at Tsuki, smirking solemnly. A rare sight for him to smirk. As it indicates him being cocky. The rest of the round ended with moya quickly making his way over to his goal. Keeping himself in the middle of the large field he and Tsuki fought in. Crossing over the line as he made his cloud drop and disperse when he crossed over his line. 

"That's the end of this round! Kemuri Moya is the victor!" 

Shakily sighing, moya just sat down with the orb next to him in his finished line of a goal. The migraine is getting worse... Though. This was, at least, something to remember.

Pairing- Jake Gyllenhaal x Reader

Warning(s)- mild swearing

       You file the last of the document in its file before checking everything was in order. It was one of those days when life just decides to be hard on you. First it had been the alarm that bailed on you. Only when the sweet smell of waffles and fried eggs had tickled your nose did you wake. It had left you furious when you saw that it was way past your time to wake up and, your boyfriend, instead of waking you up, was out in the kitchen making breakfast. While this would make you happy any other day, it didn’t today.

“Why the hell did you not wake me up?”, you had spat venomously as you entered the kitchen. Jake had been taken aback but he grinned as he scratched his head.

“Well I thought that maybe you could just stay in home and we could do something together. I have really missed you.”, he smiled. Normally you would have melted in his arms and kissed the living day lights out of him but not today.

“I am going to be presenting my project before some of the top people in the company you jerk! Of course your selfish head couldn’t retain that information!”, you had yelled back at him. Jake lost his smile and also his colour instantly.

“You only think about yourself sometimes!”, you had accused him as you headed out the door of your shared apartment, leaving behind a visibly pissed and hurt Jake.

      The day only got worse when you arrived to your own presentation twenty five minutes late. The big bosses had made no effort to hide their disappointment and displeasure.

      Your tardiness affected your performance drastically. The displeasure you had seen in your senior’s faces made your confidence fall flat to the ground and it reflected in your stammering speech and also you had kept mixing up the data, which was humiliating to say the least.

    To add to the humiliation, you didn’t get to lead your own project. This was something you had already expected, seeing as how badly you had screwed up your presentation. Yet it was painfully heart wrenching to hear them confirm what you already knew in your heart.

      Rest of the day was less eventful but at this point you cared for nothing. You kept thinking about the day and how it turned out. You couldn’t believe that just because your alarm didn’t go off you missed on the opportunity of your life. You had poured your heart and soul into the project and to say that it would be painful to watch someone else take the lead was an understatement. And then there was Jake.

      In the calmness of your office as you recalled everything, trying to see where you went wrong or whom or what you could place the blame on, you realise how stupid of you it was to yell at the man you love so much and also how stupid it was to blame him for anything. You had been furious and when that happened you always lost the brain to mouth filter and never thought twice before you spoke. This always left you with deep regret later, like it did now, and you hope that Jake wasn’t mad about it still.

      You reach out and pick the phone off of the desk and check to see there were plenty of texts and a few calls that you had missed but none of them where from Jake. You blow out a frustrated breath as you sink into the leather chair, trying to think of something to do to appease Jake once you got home.

        However, two hours later, when you finally make it home, any thoughts of trying to appease Jake slowly starts to leave as you step into the house. Even before you entered the apartment you could hear loud guffawing and it didn’t take much for you to realise that your brother was home. Jake and your brother got along very fine and by the amount of shouting and yelling going on you guessed they were playing on PSP.

“Hey guys. I am home.”, you announce as you drop your bag and walk into the living room.

“Hey Baby!”, Jake greets rather cheerfully followed by your brother who only grunts in response.

      Jake’s lack of anger should have calmed you but instead you felt triggered as you looked around the living room, which at the moment resembled a pig’s sty. There was beer cans and snack packs all over the place. Also both the men had decided it was a good idea to leave their sweaty hoodies on the couch.

      Rolling your eyes at the two men, who had gone back to playing, you walk into the kitchen and feel your headache threaten to pull you down seeing the sink overflow with soiled dishes. The damp air was filled with the smell of stale food making your nose wrinkle. Horrified you scan the kitchen and see the bread crumbs on the counter, the box of butter lying open, the empty bread packet lying in the counter along with the skin of banana and orange.

      Jake wasn’t usually this messy but somehow whenever he hung out with your brother, your brother seemed to manage to bring out the pig in him. Feeling your blood boil you begin clear out the counter. You dump everything in the garbage bin before throwing the dishes in the dishwasher. Both cutlery and pans and spoons and pots went in there with much clang and clutter, some plates even breaking in the process but you didn’t care. You were angry and upset and you needed to vent them out.

      Seconds later you hear the house go quite, the chaotic sound of laughter and cheering nowhere to be heard, but you don’t stop. You dump the half full pack of detergent into the machine, all over the dirty dishes.

“Hey... Y/B/N left.”, you hear Jake’s voice come from behind you as you slam the door and press some buttons. Without looking at Jake or acknowledging him you grab a scrub from under the sink and begin to scrub the gas range which had dried splatters of gravy and sauce. You tried to guess what had occurred in here as you silently assessed the crime scene nothing made any sense.

“I can do that--”, you feel Jake’s hand against your arm, trying to pull you away but you jerk him away and hiss at him, “I can do it!”

“Y/N--”

“Jake! I had a terrible day and the last thing I want to do is argue with you so please just f*** off!”, you say through gritted teeth.

“What is your problem?”, Jake fires back, clearly pissed. “If you don’t want me here Y/N, just say the damn words and I will leave!”

“What is my problem? What is my problem?”, you feel rage course through your vein, chasing every rational thought, “My problem is that my idiot of a boyfriend decides to make breakfast for his still sleeping girlfriend instead of waking her up for work, my problem is that because of him I lose the biggest project of my life for which I had worked my a** off. My problem is that the same ass of a boyfriend acts like he did nothing wrong and doesn’t even bother asking how my presentation was.”

“You’re so busy spending the day with Y/B/N that you don’t even fucking care what happened with me and then I walk into this place which is supposed to be our kitchen but at the moment smells like sewer!”

      You swing around and bang on the window panes, pushing them open and letting the cool evening breeze to flood in.

“Look! I am sorry I forgot about your presentation but I didn’t mean to deliberately make you late. It’s not my fault that you got late to work.”, Jake spoke angrily.

“Of course it’s not! You know I have a job! You know I have to get to it every day but still you didn’t bloody wake me up and decided for yourself that I should stay home and spend the day with you.”, you wave your hand frustrated.

“Is it so wrong to want to spend time with your girlfriend considering I wasn’t home the past month?”, Jake yelled.

“Of course not! But you ask first! You could have checked with me. You don’t get to decide! You cost me the most precious thing in the world damit! Your childishness cost me the one thing I most cared about!”, you yell back.

      Jake recoils as if your words stung him. He looks down at you with tears pooling in his eyes. Too late you realise your mistake but there was nothing you could do to take back the spoken words that hung so heavily in the tensed atmosphere.

“Jake I am so--”

“Don’t! Don’t say anything else!”, Jake stops you, his voice much softer but heavy with hurt.

      He begins to storm out the kitchen and you follow him hurriedly, calling after him but he doesn’t stop. You watch miserably as he grabs his hoodie and marches out the house, slamming the door behind him.

A week later; You’re at home, thankful to have gotten only a warning and not suspension after last weeks incident. “No, I’m telling you,Mike. No, listen. That new buck toothed kid, Robert or whatever is really weird. Like I see him in the halls but people who I’ve spoken to say they’ve never seen him in class. It’s so weird and the way he talks is weird too. And guess what else! He’s always seen walking in and out of the woods like he lives there or something.” You complained on the phone as you made your sandwich. It was late but you couldn’t sleep,the circus nightmares were waking you up again. He laughed at your paranoia and tried to talk you into getting to know the new kid before bidding goodnight.

“Okay,okay. Goodnight.” You laughed and hung up, sitting down to eat. You sat in silence until your sister walked in through the back door of the kitchen. She gasped when she saw you and tried to cover her neck with her hair. “Why are you in so late? And don’t try to cover your hickies,I’m 16 and I’m grown enough to be aware that you sometimes like to suck face with your boyfriend.” She sighed and moved her hair away, showing you some bruising,”Don’t you say a word to mom, dad or the boys.”

You grab a wet washcloth and hand it to her, “It’s still red. Did this just happen? Is it the first time? Why haven’t you said anything?” She tears up and confesses to you that her boyfriend has been getting physically aggressive with her for a few weeks now, threatening to call the cops on you if she ever told anyone. “Wait,why me?”

“NHGZ. You know once the cops find out someone is like you, they’ll classify you as a danger to the public. They’re all crooked and stupid like dad.”

Rubbing your face in frustration, you sigh and look back at her, “You’re going to have to at least tell mom but do it in the morning. Just go to bed and turn off you phone in case he starts calling.” She nods and hugs you before heading off to her room.

……………..

The next morning you’re at the drug store,waiting for your sisters boyfriend, Alex, to get off of work. He doesn’t know you’re there or know that you know about his abuse; pulling your hoodie over your head, you peek over at him as he closes up the register at his station and leaves for the day. Not too far off to the side, you don’t notice the new kid, Robert grinning from ear to ear as he watches you and follows you out the door.

About three minutes later, you’re getting closer to Alex when he senses your presence and turns to you, smiling “I thought it felt someone was following me. How’s it going?” He asks and walks over to you. You frown and step forward, “I know what’s going on, I know what you’re doing to her which is why I’m here. You’re going to leave her alone from now on, got it?”

The boy gives a slow smirk and shakes his head, “Ain’t happening. If you touch me, you know damn well the cops are going to be on your ass in no time, you fucking freak.” You balled your hands up into fists, ready to make him regret his words when he suddenly gave a horrified expression, stumbling back before taking off as he cried out something about birds. You glanced up and noticed a large crowd of them hovering over you before they chased him into the woods; you knew he was scared of them but not this scared. Using this to your advantage, you chased after him, not giving him the chance to let him get away with abusing your sister.

“Fuck!” You cry out and kick the dirt, having lost him somewhere; frustrated, you take off your gloves and put your training to use. After few deep breaths, you begin to concentrate and let your telekinetic aura search for his, keeping your focus on one target. “Alex! Come out and face me like a man! If you’re bold enough to hit my sister than you’re bold enough to–“

You scream and jump back when you see his body laid out on the ground in front of a tunnel, one that leads to the sewers. He looked as if his flesh was being picked off by the birds but you also noticed larger chunks ripped off as well.

“I’ve been observing you for months now and I have to say, I’m impressed.” The same clown from your dreams and the computer in the library calls out as he steps away from the shadows.

“Who are you?”

“My name is Pennywise and I have an offer to make to you.”

“What? No!” You turn around to run off when he suddenly appears right in front of you and grabs you by the shoulders, lifting you off the ground to sniff you. “No, please! Get away!” You cry out as you tried to use your power to get away from him, growing scared when you see he isn’t affected.

“We might be of the same species, you and I.”

“What do you mean? Let me go! Please!”

“NHGZ is what they call you here, isn’t it? NHGZ is what makes you feel out of place, does it not? NGHZ means you aren’t completely human.”

“I said let go! I know I’m a freak, just leave me alone and let me go, dammit!”

“I smell something in you I haven’t smelled in a long time. Don’t you want to know where you come from?” He grins as he sets you down.

You frown and try to shove him away, “I’m from Earth just like everyone else!”

“Don’t be too sure of that,darling. If you come with me, you’ll find out how you came to be this way.” He taps the tip of your nose as he makes his way back into the tunnel.

You looked down at your hands and tried to fight back a frown. Ever since the NHGZ mutation was discovered, no medical scientist has ever been able to pinpoint why exactly it happens and you hated it. This clown or whoever he was, was right. Even though you never said it out loud, especially to your family, you always worried you were more than just one of the unlucky few who hit the NHGZ lotto. Were you born this way for a reason? And why didn’t he react when you tried to hurt him?

“Come along, we have much to discuss.”

Hesitating for only a brief second, you slip your gloves back on and look back up at the entrance to the tunnel. You hoped you were making the right decision.
