Warning: Lots of LGBTQ/Sex talk below, so, uh, be prepared!
It's OC Sunday, so I'm just going to dump this obnoxiously healthy, middle-aged, space polycule here:
Tumblr media
(left to right: Dr. Tanke Drummer, Timon Chapelle, and Miriam Martin. Drawn by me.)
This throuple has shown up, in various degrees, in Far Past the Ring. Tanke has been mentioned previously during OC Sundays, as has her husband, Timon, but this is the first time I've mentioned their wife, Miriam, as well.
HERE ARE THE FRIGGIN' FACTORS (to quote Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force):
Tanke is extremely bi-sexual, Timon is straight (he is only attracted to women), and Miriam is aroace, but leans towards preferring women sexually, and men romantically. It works as Tanke has the emotional depth of a dinner plate with a wild sex drive, and Timon is a gregarious, joyful guy who loves a long talk at the end of the day.
Tanke is a physician, Timon is a fire marshal, and Miriam is a kindergarten teacher. Their schedules work out so that someone is always home to help with the house and their children.
All of them have lost their parents, though Tanke's parents did not die until very recently in the Eros incident.
Tanke is from Ganymede, Timon is from Eros, and Miriam was born in St. Louis on Earth, but raised on Ceres by her evangelical, missionary grandparents. Even though Miriam was born on Earth, she is considered a Belter like her spouses.
Miriam was disowned by her church at age 19 when her sexuality was discovered. Within the day, she joined the Free Navy, alongside Tanke and Timon.
They all served on the Free Navy ship, Zhong Kui, a stolen Martian frigate, for two years.
The horrifying experience of serving under Captain Meyers on the Zhong Kui has left different scars on all of them, but affected Tanke the worst.
They have agreed to not include new spouses in their arrangement.
Sjael, Tanke's little sister, moving in with them, post meeting Clone Force 99, has a varied reaction amongst the three: Tanke is angered and anxious, Miriam is overjoyed and relieved, and Timon simply said, 'Boys, we're outnumbered'. (They have two sons and one daughter between them)
Despite adoring his wives, sister-in-law, daughter, and niece (!), Timon is vaguely irritated by, to quote 'all the damn women clucking around in this house' and is secretly ecstatic when Tech and company show up on his doorstep.

Special counsel seeks 'narrowly tailored' gag order against Trump, citing 'disparaging and inflammatory attacks' - ABC News
I like our son and daughters idea he says look they're breaking the law nobody challenges them with the loss they're breaking they're going around and going after him for all this coated stuff and his painting windows in 1985 and who the hell knows we want him arrested in jailed and convicted of harassment of keeping money away from a VIP inventor we want him in jail for treason for screwing around with his family and getting some of them killed we want him to jail for attempted homicide attempted kidnapping treason again and more things he's doing today we want him brought up and charges for and it's Trump he's a grandson of Biden we want to let her written up that says to the FBI and national intelligence people and NSA you're not doing your job and protecting him we know who he is and what he's qualified for and he's buying his grandson and you're allowing him to be threatened and you're not doing it and we're telling you to enforce these laws and to arrest them on these charges they don't have to mention his name cuz it's illegal in court it's kind of a cool thing it's much cooler than you think it is sleek as hell it's like if I made the Bradley GT3 and you guys are driving around nobody knew what it was and you put a Ferrari label on it and you can kick everyone's ass and they wouldn't even know it. You can charge him with crimes he's doing on me and and others but really it's on me like buying his grandson but you can't mention my name by law by the dod the doj and other groups of your own so we go to jail in court and trial and get put in there because of someone with no name so they thought about it and he said it to them this morning in space as they call it and they said this we can try and convict him for like no reason is what it sounds like everybody knows what it is and we want to do it to him but we don't want to do it in court not right away so they said this he knows about it too he just can't stand the f****** guy and nobody will do it even though you can do it it's like oh we're not really doing something and that's what he's doing to him all the time he's going to get nails and that's what they said that last paragraph and he is going to be in trouble shortly because people like this idea and what's above is him in denial again. There's a few things that came out in the news today one of them is the above he is a gag order if you violates it three times he's going to prison so far he violated once and they're writing it up today and it'll come out tomorrow and they're going to send it to him in writing the second one is that he is unfit for office and should never have been in office no we're going to bring that up and start throwing that dirt around because it's normal because Biden is normal it's something the max like. There's something else going on it was brought up this morning and he has people turning on him in Georgia there's several people who are convicted and they're offering evidence against him and a lot of evidence and huge numbers of cases of brought against him and his wife is thinking about one because he's constantly talking about the clones and she's buried with them and they won't leave her alone and my husband too he's trying to throw him to the wolves and the a****** keeps attracting to them so we are going to sue him for that it's going on now. there's a few more cases coming up this coming week and they're mentioning them that he's going to be indicted and he's going to be thrown in jail Tommy f has warrants against him all over the world for Texas and he's being sought now by special warrants everywhere his clothes are being eliminated and they're down to a small number like 3%? His clothes are held in the ships more shortly
Hera
Zues
We're going to file charges against him and some of a lawsuits with our son's name one against storm Western development against Dan and Trump and Terry cheesman who was playing the big guy Dave and it's about screwing around with him and using a subcontractor more or less they used to contractor doing things and went right and they said they weren't right and he was told to do them by Dave from HMC and they got in writing and we have it writing and we have backup of it and we have tape and we have private investigators and we also have witness testimony saying that they're abusing people and they abused the person with him Dan which is another Dan and they're telling him off and screwing around and the girl too so we are going to go to court with them and we're going to tell them beside you pay our son's stuff or we go to court and we expose what you're doing with China which is illegal you are selling caterpillar secrets and Matt wants to be in the lawsuit and we want to include him on that lawsuit we will have a separate one for his 401k and request the money and request them to dispense it immediately they know who he is and they can find out where he is and what they're saying is illegal and we can tell them criminal charges will be filed they feel so we're going to take all the property around Los Angeles there's a ton of property and we're going to take the LA times and other newspapers and such in other words these people are willing to lose everything for a 400 Grand which is like $4 that I told it's ridiculous they have to pay that kind of money sometimes and they're idiots it's very insulting it makes people very angry and we're extremely powerful and have strong suit is military procedures and maneuvers and military weaponry and personnel and they're extremely weak in that area and don't care so I'm going to go down and pick them up and they've seen the army down there they don't get it it's his money it's rightfully his if you want to go to California that's fine but it's going to cost you to get him out there it probably could go there from Utah and he's going to take the money and go home and you're going to get kicked out for letting him have it. We don't know what happened to you people you're trying to be the good guys now you don't give a s*** at all and these ships are some standard and they're not into stellar so he lied so what made you into lunatics so we took advantage of it that's to be very thick and from Saturn and your pieces of crap and you don't have anything up there and you don't have Dave's AI you don't know about it cuz you're stupid you don't know about laser computers either cuz you're stupid
Well Hera jumped in the last paragraph and it's true and she's saying how it is and it's really like this they're very concerning evil and stupid and they're going to lose their whole Force certainly for sure and moments on their building up again to try and go to New Vegas and they did three times you got wiped out three times and their presence in the west is diminishing the max warlock out there comprised only about 2% of the population now and they were three yesterday and they're going to continue to attack and we think that they're going to disappear out there all their different races of Mac morlock are getting a hit and wiped out except for the clones they fight everybody so I guess they're going to hit but they're hitting them too and it's going on now. We expect by the end of the day they will be at 1% and in the Midwest and there's still about 2%, but we think 1% will evacuate today because we're going to attack them we're tired of waiting for them to attack. We're also sending beer and it's their labels and they don't make it they're stupid but the beer is good and it's not bad for you tons of whiskey too and in soda bottles. and we have them buy it it's inexpensive but they do spend money on it
And I was Hera again we're going to drop lawsuits on these people on Monday we have several lawsuits our son will be named in one of them is a single separate lawsuit to start against storm Western development and it's for his money back they're not the only organization that kept his investment money HMC did as well and they refuse to hand it over when he called up and requested it and you got really mad and they said we can't give it to him he's insane and it's not his decision it's a crime also it's not instead of course it is you're not a doctor you're not my doctor and a doctor can't even say that a court has to decide it so you're probably just going to go to jail and not know it's us cuz you're so dumb. He started laughing and said probably I said yeah then you get shot names brainless all sorts of s*** for like 20 cents. You can't let the money out well it's coded and you're right for now because your people are so stupid they don't know what the code means but they're using other code and it's getting rid of you and they're using your behavior attitude and other so what are you going to do it's a catch 22 so he looked at it and he said it is I don't know what to do this is just continue to s*** on me and I'll take care of the whole round cuz that's what's happening in the future and it's your fault and that kind of s*** helps. The lawsuit is going to be normal and we're going to ask them to deliver the money and we have identity proof and it's certified and signed by you and you know about it and you called the lawyer and it's one of the things you talked about and we have it recorded. And it's certified by the court and if they go against something it's certified or screwed and if they want him to go pick up money it's not necessary but we can arrange for it but it's going to cost them transportation and of course the money up front for him to get there and things like that I don't arrange it when he goes to Utah there's no reason that they should be able to do that it's an outside company and we might ask them to pay first and I'm going to go ahead and do that because they don't manage it anymore now they do but it's not their right to do that and it is really procedure to ask them first they don't have a right to say no and really they preventing him from calling the investment firm we saw them doing it and we haven't writing and we're going to approach them if they say no we're going to storm Western to sue them because and approach them and ask them first if they say no we'll sue them so we're going to do that Monday and there's a couple other companies like HMC that they're holding his 401k and stuff a few other companies didn't release it and we're going to approach themit's with a request it's from a lawyer's firm it's not anything to worry about it's only his money and it's certified and you assumed by other people this is just a request for money from his account the account doesn't change from him because he moved it doesn't become the companies honestly it never does
They should have called up and said he had money left and it was someone's job but she was like go too so it didn't happen and really probably forgot about it because people made him forget but we're going to give them a heads up and also a Churchill and Banks same deal there he is only a few thousand dollars but it's money and they probably forgot all about it too he says it's going to come from a lawyer cuz people don't respect me enough to listen to me at all and it will come from a certified Court letter but it really doesn't mean anything except I'm asking for my own 401k it's just teeny so Daniel says I guess it's yours and the lawyer is asking will be in trouble and he says I know what I'm doing about that and also he says this is going to be great yes and it's not him I think but so also need those okay so they're going to check and it is not Trump but it looks like him so they know who we are sort of there's a few others Essex builders had a check about $3,000 that was a payment plan no this investments they forgot to do that everybody seems to forget his stupid but really it's not much money and he hardly remembers it himself and really it's something people forget about some employees did not and hold on to it like it's dear life and it's not. You send them a nice letter at certified and the first one is not necessarily from the court and it just says outside work there and he could not get the 401K out and is requesting it to our firm it does have to pay a fee and it's a pain some might try and go around just won't be able to because of other people and we are also going to seek it from it's a special case Bechtel and special case because it's a lot of money he kept it in there forever and the investment was helped by his granddaddy and really there's some s*** heads in there now but there's also loss that's a lot of money a couple million dollars and responsibility certified letter responsibly by a certain time and we're going to send letters to Utah similar effect and it's really three days they have to respond the letter has to be in our hands if they don't they get a court letter it's practically every employer really is every employer James corporation we're going to send a letter there he's got 45 Grand now it's like 450 Grand and it's a lot of money and didn't want to release it it's not their choice it's an investment firm if they say no we go to court with them if the investment firm says no we go to court with them and we'll take the investment firm and they don't like it but it's been happening. There's a lot of money in investments Fidelity has about 300 Grand same deal they go they go down and it's terrible but we need the money there's several banks that we're going to do it too as well we're going to send certified letters and we have not been demanding the money they've been sitting here saying you can't and we're going to send it all out Monday and we can have three days and then we're going to sue and you'll probably attack citadel and we'll destroy you for pennies and peanuts and stuff you used to do to fool us
We're not fools about it either you say you change gears but it's not working and we're getting bigger you're getting smaller you're trying to use devices but you try to use tons it's really going to be very hard for you but it is kind of funny because you're so stupid now s
Bitol and Goddess Wife
I find them to be so repulsive I can't stand them especially Tommy f it says the amount of money you spend on the renovation could have saved you half of your troops and how it used to work and I don't know why it wouldn't work that way I'd be doing other things everyone wants me to focus on them maybe it's a matter of ego and stuff like that who cares is what I'd say yes hardly any of it you don't have Auto respect and pride hardly any of it so am I missing something or what I don't talk to you that way and two minutes later you're trying to have me do it it's a b******* dancing here and the other guys too so he started thinking about it he said this is crap let's see what crap is King I don't know what that means but you know there's a certain people and stuff there's a certain people who wear crap is King and I'm not really sure who it is there's a bunch of people he's checking around and he can't figure it out then he looked at these ladies and the really stupid ones crap is King so they're looking into that
Hera
Olympus my son calls an Eve 6 and it's all these dumb idiotic tiny retarded b****** running around and some of them aren't and they hate them but it's really just too much and and Camilla can't stand it the one from Harry it's not really Camilla but he calls me that it's just ridiculous she says and she was something like chameleon westborough there's so many people who are retarded and stupid and teeny and dumb she goes on and on and they just hate her and she hates them so why can't you learn to respect someone at all or at least what they can do if you wake them up it says we don't need their services and said yes we do because whatever else has it says they're going and says they're not going on their own he's doing a lot of it because you're stupid they have this argument everyday and they never come to a conclusion

Skywalkers are immortal eldritch fucks (there’s so many ways this can go)
1. How does being half-force affect Anakin as a force ghost
Anakin... wasn't properly dead. just a bit too present, a bit too lively, and that if only someone pulled hard enough on the veil, he could be made to bleed again.
Anakin just keeps coming back to life, And so do Luke and Leia when they die.
"You've done it, you've killed Anakin fucking Skywalker. Wait, why is he standing behind you? Where's his body gone? Oh fuck, what is that expression? Oh no!"
This happens to Vader and terrifies the f*ck out of literally everyone
the man is the son of the Force, yes? how could he "become one with it" if he basically already was part of it? or at least, made of it?
It'd be either kinda horrifying or basically a regenerate-your-limbs get out of jail free card
Anakin turns up in Luke's temple one day, like "hey turns out I can't die"
Luke is just happy to have a Dad
imagine the backlash if that little factoid ever went public. "What do you mean Darth Vader can't die???"
"You mean he's alive right now????"
Obi-Wan realising he can't have a peaceful retirement in the afterlife because Anakin's apparently immortal now
Anakin starts trying to figure out how to make Obi wan immortal too
Ahsoka is so confused at everything
"You look a lot like the Hero with No Fear from the Clone Wars. Are you his grandson or something?" 
"Nope, I am him." 
"Freaking weird Jedi and their not aging."
 2. how terrifying it would have been if during the Dooku fight in AOTC his arm just regrew the moment it was cut off
3. them realizing this during the clone wars: CHECKMATE BITCHES
imagine the propaganda if there was a General who literally couldn't die
the Seperatists wouldn't know which way was up anymore
Anakin realised he had this sort of ability during the clone wars it would be hilarious to see him just throwing himself at things
he could protect his men better
Imagine how distressing it would be for a shiny to just see their general die and then come back seconds later
And Rex being like "Yep, the general does that."
just rubbing his eyes. and being completely done
Imagine the bitching sessions with Cody "At least yours resurrects! Mine just runs off without his kriffing lightsaber and armor all the time!"
clone boys have a heart attack whenever their general just decides to regrow limbs
rex faints the first time he sees anakin's arm grow back.
instead of the whole "my general keeps losing his lightsaber" it becomes "my general keeps losing his arm"
"My general keeps dying."
"Oh, how many have you been assigned to now?"
"No, no, he gets better again afterwards."
the 501st never tell the shinies that their general is immortal because the vets like to fuck around like that
it's kind of a right of passage for shinies to almost have a heart attack when the general comes back from the dead
Anakin is basically just the "if all else fails" option at that point because no matter what happens to him, he will be back at the temple annoying the hell out of everyone before dinner time
Anakin gets mortally wounded and is like "Well, I'll see you in five."
Droids: * shoot Anakin *
 * Anakin: * dies * 
Anakin, 5 minutes later in the middle of a crowd of droids: SURPRISE BITCHES!! * Murders them all *
Anakin dying to Dooku at the end of Attack of the Clones and then coming back and Dooku just being like "Fuck this shit I'm out."
him coming back and chasing dooku with his arm
Imagine the moment they find out Anakin can come back from the dead:
Ahsoka and Obi-Wan just sobbing their hearts out and then suddenly he's behind them like "Hey, bold of you to presume I'm mortal."
He pulls a Percy Jackson, and walks into his funeral.
mace windu utters a quiet "are you fucking kidding me"
next time anakin dies, his funeral includes a "welcome home anakin" banner
Mace stops letting the Yoda Lineage have funerals because they don't stay dead
They keep having funerals for Anakin just as an excuse to have a party
what if politicians don't know this. like the first time he dies during the war, and all the diplomats are there. Except Padme. She knows all and is just there to see the chaos.
They're usually private funerals, so they can keep inviting new people to screw with
"general skywalker just died"
"senator he's right here"
"i saw him die protecting me right before my eyes"
"senator do you need the healers?"
Obi-Wan, just watched Anakin go splat at the bottom of a ravine:
“ANAKIN!!”
Anakin, popping back into the mortal coil just behind him: “Yeah? What's up?”
obi-wan finding out about a Anakins thing and keeping it a secret,
so one day anakin dies and the whole council is like, mourning
obi-wan is just rolling his eyes and saying “it’s fine he’ll be back”
everyone thinks obi-wans having a mental breakdown
but then anakin walks into his funeral with a cup of caf and sunglasses and flashes everyone a peace sign
All of Yoda’s lineage (except dooku) and padme know.
"can you guys not cover me in white next time? it's pretty boring"
"can i get, like, glitter? is that a thing? make it a thing"
Skywalkers can also breath in space.
They just don’t have to breathe. 
4. THE FORCE IS A PROACTIVE PARENT IN THIS (AND AGENDER) (THEY/THEM PRONOUNS)
during the time it takes for him to resurrect, the force and anakin talked.
Bc that's the only time he could talk with a tangible parent.
he learns about palps that way
one time Anakin dies twice in one day
turns out the ability has a bit of a cooldown time so everyone's just panicking a bit because he should be back by now
then he appears like three days later
Obi-Wan's like "You bastard."
"Gotta keep you on your toes."
Really his parent just wanted some more time with him, and who was he to refuse?
a cracky! anakin basically having annual dinners with The Force because of how often he dies in the clone wars
in this verse the clone wars was created so Anakin & his parent The Force can have family dinners
Mortis, but instead of All That Nonsense, it's just a nice episode of meet the parent
padme dies, and then at her funeral she comes back, but force sensitive.
force sensitive, immortal, padme amidala. The seppies are going DOWN
The Force wills Padme to die because The Force wants to meet their daughter in law
It does this for basically everyone Anakin cares about
sometimes anakin and padme just drop dead, and wake up a few hours later bc they had a family dinner to get to.
"I'm going to kill you" is suddenly the literal way for Anakin to say "I love you"
Anakin dies on Mandalore and Satine witnesses it and she's horrified and doesn't know what to tell Obi-Wan but then she sees Obi-Wan talking to Anakin and she's so confused
So if anakin kills you and you’re someone he cares about you come back to life immortal.
Death By Skywalker basically being a way of becoming immortal is gonna fuck with the war so much
when Palpatine tells Anakin to kill all the jedi he thinks Palpatine is telling him to invite all the jedi to his Force Family Dinner
One day the entire Jedi temple just dies all at once, and comes back a couple hours later, to the confusion of literally everyone (including the Jedi)
yoda is frequently killed to spend time with the force because after 900 years the two of them are tight as fuck
Anakin doesn’t have attachment issues in this bc hey, people die all the time! :)
He also ends up being worshipped as a demigod.
More Angsty version of this: young anakin kills palps bc he thinks he'll resurrect, but then the tangible form of the force appears and explains that he was the sith master.
Palpatine would probably actually try to get Anakin to kill him, because hey! Free immortality! Don't mind if i do!
5. Imagine if this was something he discovered as a little kid. Anakin going off to visit Qui-Gon in the force and Obi-Wan wondering what eldritch beast he has ended up with as a padawan
"Anakin what are you doing?"
"I'm making master Qui-Gon a friendship bracelet?"
"...master qui gon?"
"yeah! i gave one to my parent yesterday and master qui-gon said he wanted one too!"
"Your parent? when exactly was this yesterday?"
anakin being a convoy for dead masters and their old padawans like Weed Dad qui gon jinn and his Struggling Son obi wan
anakin has two parents
Parent and Mom

Seconding the 'mob guys watching over Chris for Paul's suggestion!
CW: References to murder/mob organization stuff, references to parental death, grief, referenced past whump of a minor
Every Tuesday at 9 am, just like clockwork, Sean Malley lumbers into a coffeeshop nestled into the corner of a flat featureless strip mall. Contrasting to the pale concrete nothingness of its surrounding, the little coffeeshop is painted  a warm, rich brown along the exterior, with heavy platers spilling over with purple and yellow flowers every few feet until Sean reaches the door.
It’s a welcome bit of individuality along this ring of small strip malls and larger big-box stores kept out of the city proper by a pile of zoning laws too draconian to fight. He’s been coming here for ten years now, more or less, and has seen the little coffeshop through its earliest days struggling for business right to now, where he feels reasonably certain he’ll be dead long before they close this place for good. 
He moves inside, the light immediately warm and slightly dimmed. The scent in the air of freshly roasted coffee beans and baked goods. The cannolis they sell came from him, Sean’s proud of that - his wife had a favorite recipe and he’d given it to them after she passed, hoping for one batch for the service. They’d just kept making them, having one ready for him when he popped in, and... well, they’ve sold them ever since. Even call them Christa’s Cannolis, handwritten in cursive on a little placard. She’d have been tickled pink, he thinks sometimes, to see it. 
One of his knees comes and goes as it pleases these days, giving his step a bit of a shuffle-scrape. He’s smiling, though, and humming as he goes.
Life is good for Sean Malley, all things considered. 
Truth be told, he hadn't actually expected to live this long. Keeping close to Conor and his family had paid off in the early days - just as his instincts had kept him safe when the Garden erupted in in-fighting, too. When the Clean-Up happened, during the Garden’s most vicious in-fighting, Sean had seen half the men he’d watched start as snot-nosed dumbasses taken out one by one, clearing the way for Conor’s fucking grandson to make his play for power.
Those kids who’d run lookout gigs and then moved on to guard duty or work with the cargo coming in... one by one those kids-turned-adults, with families of their own, had been removed from the picture. Fifteen, all told, a bloodbath stretched out over six months - sixteen, of course, if you count how Paul’s murder went all wrong. 
The one comfort had been watching Conor’s grandson lay the groundwork for his own comeuppance the whole time - promising favors for loyalty and then killing the ones he’d promised those favors to. That’s no way to start yourself as leader, and... well.
Trash had been taken out, in the end. Riley Higgs had gotten rid of the poison - and the poison’s friends - and his crew’s a damn sight better than Conor’s grandson’s people had been. 
Riley, for one thing, understands that an organization like the Garden works, in the end, on trust. On being a family.
Don’t kill your family without a good damn reason, now do you? 
Now Riley... he had a good reason. And Sean had made sure Riley Higgs knew a few very important facts that kept him on the man’s good side, and very much alive when the dust settled.
Even if he had did have to live with a bum knee. And back. And his hip’s started twinging every time it rains...
"Morning, Mr. Malley!" His favorite barista calls out, giving him a wave from behind the counter. She's a pretty thing, just cute as a button. Probably in her late twenties but when you’re as old as Sean is, everyone looks like a child playing pretend. 
Still, it always brings a bit of sun in the old man's day to see her bright pink hair before he ever takes his seat. He always tells her she should move on from here, do something with her life other than serve old men their coffee and watch them while away the hours.
But I like it here, Melody always replies, giving a little shrug of her shoulders. I like our regulars, too. Besides, this place pays better than the job I’d get with my actual degree. 
"G'morning to you, Melody!" He calls back, moving to have a seat in his usual spot, sinking gratefully into the plush armchair by the bookshelf in the corner. His favorite coffee table book, a heavy thing full of photos of World War II, is already laid out on the side table next to it, bookmarked where he’d left off last week. "Busy day, today?"
Melody is already heading his way, coffee in hand just how he likes it, one of Christa’s Cannolis on a small plate in the other. Sean’s doctor has been on him about cutting out sugar, and he’s done it just about everywhere else, but he still has his cannoli on Tuesdays. Christa had been so proud of herself when she’d mastered that recipe... 
"Not really,” Melody says with a shrug, breaking into his thoughts. “Just the usual morning rush and a couple college kids, wandered outside but they left their drinks, I figure they’ll come back. One of 'em looks like he got mauled by a real weak bear."
Sean feigns surprise. "Oh, does he now?" He takes a sip of his coffee and sighs happily. "Not too hot. You had it out already, didn't you?"
"I saw your car pull into the lot," Melody says, giving a little it's nothing gesture. “I knew you’d be in, so I kept an eye out for you.”
"You're a doll, Melody, and this place would be lost without you." He presses the twenty-dollar bill into her hand, and when she protests, he shakes his head, adds another ten, and closes her hand firmly around the cash. "Take it, take it. I'm an old man on my own, who've I got to spend it on, huh?"
"You're not that old, Mr. Malley," Melody sighs, an old song and dance between them. “You’ve got grandkids who could use it, too, you know.”
"Ha! Trust that my grandkids never want for anything, Melody. Besides, live the life I've lived, and sixty feels like eighty-two. Go on, then. Cilly'll be along in a bit."
He sits back to drink his coffee as she heads back behind the counter, watching through the front window the cars that pass along the highway, the scattering of people getting in and out of their own vehicles in the parking lot. It's a perfect, and perfectly normal, Tuesday morning. Just like any other.
A perfectly normal Tuesday where one creature of habit makes it a point to get a quick look at another. 
A flash of red catches his eye, and he frowns, watching a bright red Northern cardinal alight on the bench placed outside the shop, preening one wing briefly and then seeming to look towards the lot.
Sean follows its gaze, silently chastising himself for being so utterly taken by a simple bird, but... Northern cardinals are more or less unheard of around here, especially in the city. This one seems to cock its head in his direction. 
"Someone," He mutters to himself, "is a bit lost."
There's a peal of laughter, as the door opens, the little bell on top chiming to announce them, and there they are.
Two young people walking inside, heads tilted together. One of them has thick, wavy black hair, one of those haircuts the younger people like so much now, shaved on the sides but long on top. The younger guys in the Family wear their hair like that now and then. 
Sean thinks he liked it better when everyone kept things neat and tidy, but times change, and the Garden can't stagnate just because an old timer's got opinions. Riley’s take is he’d rather is people look like they could be anybody anywhere, and Sean has to admit the kind of haircut he’d like to see would stick out like a sore thumb.
Both of them are wearing all black head to toe, the black-haired one in a tank top and baggy pants, a large yellow lightning bolt on a cord settled just below their collarbone. Honestly, if he gets past the hair thing, they’re cute as a button, too.
Really, though, he’s not here because of them.
He’s here to get a good look at the young man walking in beside them. 
It’s funny - it’s been nine - ten? - years since he last saw Paul Higgs alive, the day before he and his sweet Ronnie were gunned down in their own home in the night... but tears still prick at the corners of Sean’s eyes when he see the ghost of Paul in his son’s narrow face.
There’d been a joke when the little one first came into the world, that somehow Paul and Ronnie had put together a child where her genetics simply skipped out entirely. He’d been a little clone of Paulie from the start, and he’s different as a man than he’d been as a child lining toy cars up at their feet in the warehouse on Saturdays when Ronnie needed a break.
Sean pulls his phone out, idly scrolling - his daughter had helped him to get Facebook and a couple other things besides, including some kind of app that had his favorite card games. He pretends now to be fascinated by something he sees, but in truth he pulls his camera up and starts recording.
“It, it, it could change everything,” Paulie’s boy is saying, breathlessly excited, hands moving through the air in a blend of gesture and general happiness. “You see? Everything! Make it, it, it-it safer, make... make things better.”
“I know, I know,” The other one replies, deep voice warm and thick with love, and Sean sighs, missing his Christa now more than ever. He consoles himself with a bite of cannoli. “I already told you I’m in, Chris, okay? I’m going to help you. You don’t have to sell me on it.”
Tristan ducks his head with a shy smile, and boy if he isn’t Paul’s spitting image in that, too. Paulie hadn’t smiled much, not like his kid does - maybe that’s what he got from Ronnie - but in a smile like that, well... you could see where he got it from. If you’d known Paul, of course.
Which the kid didn’t, not anymore.
“It could, um, be dangerous though.” They’re barely audible now as they go back to where they left their still-steaming drinks, sitting down on a nearby couch. “Nat’s worried. And, and, and you know Jake-”
“Chris, you could walk across a crosswalk when the light starts blinking and Jake would still worry about you,” The other one teases. Sean knows their name, but right now it won’t quite come to mind, lingering on the tip of is tongue, never quite landing. “It’ll be public, yeah-”
“Telling everyone who... who, who I am.” Tristan starts tapping his fingers on his pants, a peculiar finger-twist-tap-tap-tap gesture that Sean once knew as well as anyone, when the boy was small. But it’s the words, with a hint of nervousness lining them, that get his attention. “The... the whole world’s going to, to, to to-to-... to... to know about Tristan Higgs.”
Now that gets Sean’s attention. He cuts the video, sends it to Riley, and starts a new one. It takes work not to sit up, or drop his cannoli, or in some other way give himself away. 
He knows, then?
How?
Sean looks down at his phone, looking over the scar on Paul’s boy’s forehead, the only remaining evidence of what had been much more visible the first couple times they’d seen him out after it happened. Sean and Cilly had figured maybe a fight - people get into them, really. Paul wasn’t exactly gentle as a lamb, and why would his boy be?
But now... he wondered. His instincts told him the two were related, and of course he knew from the time they’d worked with WRU pretty closely under the table that those memory things they did sometimes failed. Sean had done a fixer job once for someone whose pet had recovered memories too fast and killed a servant in a panic...
“Oh, Paul,” Sean murmurs. “What’d your boy do, hm?”
“I’m, I’m going to to to t-... to tell everyone who I am,” Paul’s boy is saying, leaning forward and taking the hands of the other one in his own, squeezing them tight. “I’m... will, will, will you come with me? When, when I... so someone’s there?”
“What? Holy shit, Chris, go to the Olympics? With you?” They inhale and exhale, blowing some hair from their eyes, and smile. “You should take someone who knows more than I do about all that stuff, Chris, take Jake, or-”
“Jake has has to stay here. To, to protect the house. But... will you come with me?”
Sean cuts the video, sends it to Riley, and this time adds a message.
Olympics are in Chicago this year. What’s Paul Jr. planning?
He feels eyes on him and glances up to find Tristan looking over at him, an expression of uncertainty on his face. Sean’s been watching him for years, popping up in places, the way you sometimes see the same faces at the corner store, the mom-and-pop, a coffeeshop like this one. Now, he watches Tristan look him over, knowing he’s familiar but not knowing why. Part of him, with a pinprick of an old, old grief, wishes Paul’s little boy would recognize him now. 
Most of him knows it’s better if he doesn’t.
Tristan looks away, and goes back to talking, but his voice lowers and now Sean can’t quite pick up what he’s saying beyond a few scattered words. He gets a couple photos of the lovebirds with their head together, sipping coffee, and sends those on to Riley, too.
Job done, he settles back to finish his cannoli and drink his coffee. Tristan and-... Laken, his name suddenly supplies, only an hour after he’d started trying to remember it - get up and leave, Tristan’s arm around Laken’s waist.
Good for the kid, Sean thinks, with a smile. By this age Paul had an elementary school son running around, but you know, it’s good to take your time on these things, and it’s nice to see that all the shit they’ve had to stand back and watch still wraps up nicely into Paul’s boy living a pretty nice life indeed.
His phone dings just as Cilly enters - right on time at 10, like clockwork - and he glances down to open the message from Riley.
I’ll get one of our guys to look into it. This might give us the out on the business I don’t want to be in I’ve been looking for. Kid looks good, looks like Paul. Family genes run deep.
Sean greets Cilly, even older than him but a sight more spry, and glances out the window. The bird’s gone from the bench, of course. The day is bright and shining.
-
In Laken’s car, they’re halfway back to the house Laken shares with their roommates when Chris suddenly sits straight up. “Mr. Malley,” He breathes out, green eyes widening.
Laken jumps - he’d been silent, preoccupied and in thought - and nearly jerks the car into a curb. “Damn, Chris! You scared me. What’d you say?”
“The old guy, in, in, in the the the the-the-... the coffeeshop, who kept looking at, at me.” Chris rocks forward, hands on the dashboard, his eyes staring ahead but not at the road, they’re looking far ahead... or behind himself, back in time and not space, when and not where. “His name’s Mr. Malley. I, I, I knew-... my dad knew, my, my, my dad, my dad-” 
He winces, the headache splitting him apart, and Laken hits their turn signal, pulling into the parking lot of a generic fast food place, swinging into a parking space and turning to look at him. 
“Chris? You okay?”
Chris’s face has gone pale, cold sweat breaking out. It still happens, sometimes, and when they lean over to touch his shoulder he flinches back from them, instinctively.
Laken exhales. “Okay. Ride it out, Chris. Let the memory go if it’s hurting, it’ll come back to you. They all come back now.”
“No! No, I, I, I want-... Mr. Malley knew my dad, I went to-... work, with, with him sometimes, his his his wife babysat me, I... I know him. I knew him. I knew-” He turns to look at them, and they fight the urge to try and touch him again.
Not yet.
“Do you... do you think, think, think he knew me?”
Laken swallows. “I don’t think so. Wouldn’t he have said something, if he recognized you? If he was your dad’s friend? Are you absolutely sure that-”
“Yes, I’m, I’m sure. I know it was him. I, I, I know, he, he, he gave me me me Dinotopia books... for Christmas one year...” Chris jerked in a breath and let it out again, hands going up over his head, folding himself in half until his forehead rested on the dashboard, pressed to the cool molded plastic. “He, he, he, he came to their funeral, he hugged me, he said, you’re too young to to to to have to lose so much, and everyone said-... everyone said stuff I hated but but but not him, he said, he said-”
“Chris, please, don’t hurt yourself doing this-”
“He said grief gets worse before it gets better, and and and and he said-... he said... he said don’t let anyone tell you that R-Ronnie’d want you to to to be strong, she’d want you to scream your head off if you want to, your dad’d be proud if if if if-if... if you told us all to go to hell, and... and and and and it felt like he was the only person who who who knew them at all that day, everyone said, said, said stupid things but not him, not-... not him and not Mr. Cilly, not-... not my Aunt Jo, not anybody, but he-”
Chris chokes on a sob and when Laken throws their arms around him he melts into it this time, crying against their shoulder, the two of them uncomfortably arched over the center console and the gear shift. 
“It’s okay,” Laken whispers, running their fingers over the slowly growing fuzz of his hair. “It’s okay. Let it ride, Chris. It’s okay.”
“He, he, he was my dad’s b-b-best friend-... Why d-didn’t he, if he saw me, why wouldn’t he-... I s-see him all th-the the the time, why doesn’t he know who I am?”
“Maybe he’s like Akio,” Laken says, and feels him trembling under their touch. “Maybe he’s always thought you were dead.”
“I w-was,” Chris whispers “When I, I, I was Baldur. When I was training. When... when I... was good. I was dead.”
“Chris-”
“I was dead,” Chris says, and they kiss his head, helpless to think of anything else to do. “When my p-parents died, I died, too. Mr. Malley made m-me feel like I I I wasn’t. Why didn’t he kn-know me? Why didn’t a-anyone know I was alive?”
“I don’t know, baby. I don’t know.”
“Hurts,” Chris whispers. “Why, why, why didn’t anyone help me before she she she-... before I was-... why didn’t anyone help me?”
Laken’s own eyes burn, and they draw circles on his scalp with their fingertips. “I can’t answer that,” They say, low and soft. “I’m sorry. But you know you have people who can and will help you now.”
For a while, Chris’s only sounds are sobs, and Laken can only make soft soothing nonsense noises and feel like shit that it’s not enough.
“Ev, everyone knew she-she hated me,” Chris whimpers, and sounds younger than he ever has, and Laken wants to throw a punch or scream and they can’t do either, only sit in the car and glare at people who look in as they walk past. “Everyone.”
“Chris-”
“Everyone knew, why, why, why why why didn’t they stop her?”
-
Back in the coffeeshop, Sean and Cilly are in the midst of an argument about a baseball game that happened 30 years ago when his phone rings. He holds up one finger and picks it up, lifting it to his ear.
“I have a job for you,” Riley says, with his cheerful hint of brogue. Funny, to remember that this part of the family only came here a few decades ago. “It’s a job I know you’ll enjoy.”
“Watching Paul’s boy is my retirement gig,” Sean says amicably. “You know I don’t do the dangerous stuff any longer, Mr. Higgs.”
There’s a silence. “I’m going to do some looking into what you sent me. But in the meantime I need to give you a job, and you’re going to do it.”
“And why is that, Mr. Higgs?”
“Because you’re going to want to do this.”
“What is it, then?”
Another pause.
“I want you to find Joanne Botham.”
Sean thinks of the dour, angry woman who had ignored Tristan in his funeral suit, gathering mourners around her while she sobbed over Ronnie’s loss, Ronnie’s own son alone on a couch staring off into space until Sean himself had sat down and told him, don’t let ‘em say your mom’d be proud of you bein’ stoic today, kiddo. Ronnie’d want you to scream if you felt the urge. 
The kid had looked at him like he’d been given water in the desert, a starving man offered a bowlful of broth. Mr. Malley?
People will say a lot of real stupid stuff to you today, Sean had said. His eyes had gone to Joanne Botham, and Ronnie’s sister’s icy glare when she looked at her own nephew had made his blood run cold with anger even then. Likely in the future, too. But you just remember Paul and Ronnie weren’t saints. And they’d never want you to be, either. I’m sorry for your loss, Tris. No one on God’s earth has loved their kid like yours loved you. Should’ve seen his face when he told us your mom was pregnant with you. Could’ve lit the world with all the sunshine there.
A clap on the back, a whispered thank you, and that had been the last day Sean Malley had ever seen Tristan Higgs alive.
Until, of course, Riley had told him there was a boy living in a pet liberation safehouse who looked remarkably like Paul. Until, of course, Riley had shared that he’d known Tristan Higgs was alive all along. Until, of course, Sean had been told he couldn’t make a move because WRU was protecting all the players who had stolen his friend’s kid. 
Until... now.
“Mr. Higgs?” His voice drops, and Cilly sits up, alarmed at the sudden change in tone. 
“You heard me. Find Joanne Botham. I have a feeling we are about to get the opportunity we’ve been waiting for.”
The phone goes dead on the other end, and Sean slowly sets it down, finishing his second cup of coffee in a gulp. Then he looks at Cilly, and starts to smile. 
“Riley’s got work for us,” He says, and when Cilly’s eyebrows raise he doesn’t wait for him to ask for more. “Don’t worry. You’re going to like it. Finally get to do what we should have done ten fucking years ago.”

My Feelings About Bradford Buzzard And His Grandmother
First, If No One Has Seen The Last Episode of The Final Season of Ducktales Reboot with the Last Adventure, do not read this unless you seen that episode first.
okay here goes...
My feelings on Bradford's Grandmother, I don't like her.
she is the reason Bradford became the way he is in the first place.
plus whenever Bradford tried to reason with Scrooge, he got ignored, so of
course he had to use the papyrus to make Scrooge, Della and Donald forget he was ever there. even if he did transform into a monster,
it wouldn't be because he's evil. it would be from the negative emotions and the misinterpretation people have of him, so he isn't truly a villain, if anything he is a victim and that jerk of a Finch is the root of it all.
Even if she is Scrooge's hero, but even he would need to accept that she was a insensitive woman who caused a child trauma that led him to grow-up cold and truly alone.
Yes Bradford made mistakes, but he was blinded.
He tried to keep chaos from going out of control, even if it meant doing something that would hurt a family, which he shouldn't of did and that had crossed a line.
I don't believe that Bradford was truly evil, he was just a broken soul who wanted to stop dangerous adventures and possibly save those like him from suffering the same trauma he suffered since his childhood.
No one has to agree with me, but I just feel that most villains have good in them.
And most of their trauma and suffering are caused by the good guys or the main hero/heroine.
Plus No Hero or Heroine should be above the consequences of damaging someone else's life,
Either they be another hero or villain or a neutral party.
Scrooge wasn't truly at fault for what happen to Della, but if you think about it, it was 100% Della's.
She could of not stole the ship, but she did. and it because she chose to listen to the one who told her of the surprise, she could of chose to ignore it and act surprise later, and not cause her family to end up they it did.
Scrooge didn't mean for to become lost in space, but he isn't excused for some truly heartless things he has done in the past because of his greed before he found the true greatest treasure, which is his family.
He hurt Magica, and I believe the reason why they had that fight so long ago in the series, is because she wanted to get him back for what happen to her brother.
Even if Louie made a good point, that his villains/enemies, made him a better person.
That still doesn't excuse him for purposely not helping someone who asked for help, even saying they give him anything if he help them.
The pain that Scrooge felt when he lost Della, was perhaps the same feeling that Magica felt when she lost her brother and never saw him again.
I believe that the Phantom Blot, might really be Mr Vanderquack, Bentina Beakley's son-in-law,
Who is now a widow, who lost his wife and Bentina's biological granddaughter, before Webby came along.
But the biological granddaughter could of survived, while Edna Beakley-Vanderquack did not.
the reason why Blot wants to destroy all magic and Magica,
might have to do with the fact that he lost his wife Edna and his child.
If the incident happen before Webby was born, then I think Pepper might really be Bentina's Granddaughter.
But all that is just a theory.  if the story picks up in a Darkwing Duck Reboot and reveals that the theory about Phantom Blot being Mr Vanderquack, the widow of Edna, and Pepper being his long-lost daughter is true....then I guess I would be surprised.
But yeah back to the whole Isabella Finch, she is truly not as great as everyone makes her.
She caused Bradford to become who he is, and she couldn't see the damage it would cause later in his life.
Plus I believe that there was a reason why we saw a clone of Bradford, the real Bradford might of known what would happen if he faced Scrooge, so he used that ray thing that makes someone smart or dumb,
Shot it at his clone that looked 100% like him, then sent the clone to deal with Scrooge, while the Real Bradford himself sneaked away unseen by both sides.
If that theory is true, then maybe it will show it in the reboot of Darkwing Duck.  
I hope some of you understand my view on Bradford, at first when it was revealed he was a part of FOWL, I did thought he was a villain. but after the episode that first showed that papyrus, and even showing a bit more of his past...but perhaps not all of it.
I don't view Bradford as someone who is evil, just someone who is deeply hurt and tried to do good but ended up hurting others in his quest to achieve it.
Yes he did wrong in his life, and he was blinded by his ambition that cost him in the end.
And we should try to remember, he wouldn't be that way if it wasn't for that insensitive Isabella Finch.
Once more, no one has to agree with my feelings about it. but I still find that Finch is my least favorite character in the Ducktales 2017 Continuum.
one of the tags for this is “True Monster” and to me,
Isabella Finch was the true monster.
Bradford was her victim, and she couldn’t see that her adventures that she dragged him on, was making him unhappy and would place stress, trauma and fear in his life, and making him go down a dark path just to keep the whole world safe.
Bradford wasn’t even truly evil, just broken and emotionally hurt.
which Della, Beakley, Scrooge and the rest of the family and friends couldn’t open their hearts and eyes enough to see.
it is possible the only one who could see it, was Magica.
because the way she said that he wasn’t a villain.
I can’t agree with the actions of those who are suppose to be “Good”
but end up hurting those who are just hurt themselves.
Discord didn’t even get a proper punishment,
he, Celestia and Luna just made the three scapegoats of his actions, get turned to stone, and Star Butterfly despite the fact that her and her family have misused magic for who knows how long of generations,
she chooses to move the blame from her Mother,
to magic itself, who let me remind you everyone, is not truly at fault, but those like Star and her family who wield it.
and if you misuse that power, it is your fault, not the source of the realm your magic comes from.
at least Lena was able to do better than what Star did, I still love SVTFOE
(and still hope to get a complete dvd collection of SVTFOE someday.) 
and the last episode was still good, but I can’t agree with placing blame on magic, when it was Moon who misused it and caused so many lives to be in danger, and even ended up with Quirky dying.
Steven Quartz Universe, he went through trauma in his life that caused him to end up the way he turned out in Steven Universe Future.
I for one, love both the first series, the movie and Steven Universe Future.
the Steven Universe Future brought out some truth of Steven, that some can relate to and understand but maybe not fully.
because of what was revealed in Steven Universe Future,
about Greg’s past, I see him as both a Good and yet Bad person.
same with how Rose was during her life, as both when she was Pink Diamond,
and then when she reformed as “Rose Quartz”, which I still think that would make her a Trans-Gem, like gems who are normally be made one way, might feel like they are either a Rose Quartz, a Ruby or even a Zircon.
but the episode where we learn a bit more of Greg’s past, like how he felt about his parents and how he viewed their rules and how it seem like a prison to him.
but he might of only seen what he wanted to see, he might not of got the full picture growing up, and I had theorized that one of his parents could of been sensitive to loud music/sound, it is possible that Greg couldn’t understand.
Steven had a right to be mad at Greg, and even disappointed in him too.
Greg had cheered him up, and even made him happy finding out about his father’s old home.
but Greg made his son go back down to his lows again.
it was good that it was revealed that Steven is getting the help he needs.
when he corrupted himself, it was good that no one tried to hurt him
but hugged him when he needed that emotional support.
the kind that shows that those who are his family and friends, are there for him and are sorry they couldn’t see how much pain he was going through.
at times when a character who is normally a villain, and shows no sign of goodness in them (unlike Chrysalis, Cozy Glow and  Tirek showed when they bonded in one episode....who had shown a side of good that was in them.)
they can’t be saved...
I wont force others to agree on my view on all this, just try to respect that is how I see it.
not all villains are evil, some end up being Anti-Villains,
just as how some heroes who aren’t always good, end up as Anti-Heroes.
 even if Isabella Finch was long gone in the world of Ducktales 2017,
but to me she was the root of Bradford’s suffering and trauma.
and that makes her the woman behind the man, and the true villain.    
 now I am gonna just go and sign off and have me time.
I might sign back on later or tomorrow, it depends.
and I really hope some of you will understand how I view Bradford,
yes at first I thought of him as a villain after it turned out he was FOWL.
but then after seeing the other sides of him, I can’t help but understand he was misunderstood and he only wanted to protect the world from danger.
(he just ended up going about it the wrong way, and went too far in the wrong ways to achieve that peace.)
and his grandmother Isabella, Ludwig, Scrooge, everyone, including the rest of FOWL, couldn’t see that.
I hope that at least such a thing gets resolved in a darkwing duck reboot.
and the Bradford we saw in the very end, turned out to be one of his clones.
because I believe that Bradford deserved better, he was not born that way, he was made that way because of his so called grandmother, who couldn’t see that she was making him unhappy and causing him trauma.
well thanks for listening, and once again no one has to agree about my feeling about Bradford or Isabella Finch,
or the whole theory about Phantom Blot being Bentina’s son-in-law,
who she thought died along with her daughter and granddaughter....
well the granddaughter she had before taking Webby in.
see ya later and keep safe everybody.

Code 30
Warnings: violence, blood, drama
Kix x female reader
Part 7
“Mr. Holtz?” A woman called out, Kix startling awake. He didn’t know how long he’d been asleep, but he didn’t feel rested one bit. He got up and handed his sleeping daughter off to her grandparents. Jesse had snuggled up to his grandfather, who also took Kaia. He felt like he was going to be sick again, but took a deep breath. His heart pounded in his chest painfully, his fist tightened on your wedding ring set that he hadn’t released.
“How is she?” He asked quietly, his voice not sounding his own.
“Stable. We intubated her and she’s on a ventilator with oxygen. We’ve stopped the bleeding, the surgeon is now repairing her lung.” The nurse replied. Kix nodded, letting out a small sigh.
“I do have a few questions for you though.” The nurse said apologetically, taking a datapad from her pocket. Kix recognized the form displayed on it.
“You said she was stable.” He whispered, blocking his family from seeing the datapad.
“She’s stable for now, but not out of the woods.” The nurse explained. Kix made a face but nodded.
“Give me a second.” He said, walking over to his in-laws. He knelt down in front of them, his father-in-law being awake.
“She’s stable but they’re still working on her. The nurse just has a few questions for me. I’ll be right back.” He whispered so as not to wake his kids or mother-in-law.
The nurse led him to an empty exam room. He dropped down into a chair, she sat on a stool in front of him.
“Ok, so first question. Does she have a Will?”
“Yes.”
“Does she have any stipulations in it regarding resuscitation orders? A DNR?”
Kix felt sick again. He nodded. He wanted to shake his head and say they were to do whatever it takes to keep his wife alive. But that’s not what she had wanted. It was the main reason why he knew he could never be the one to attend to his wife if she were ever in this state again. He could never and would never make that call. The one that he knew she’d want him to accept after the allowed attempts had run out.
“We talked about this when we found out she was pregnant with my son.” He remembered.
“Um, she said she only wanted 5 attempts at CPR and only 3 with a defibrillator.” He said, his throat constricting. The nurse nodded solemnly.
“How many have you already done?” Kix asked, his voice barely auditable. The nurse didn’t reply.
“I will find out from someone. I work here.” Kix informed her bluntly. He had kept his gaze on his clasped hands until now. Now he gave the nurse in front of him a threatening look.
“According to Commander Thorn’s report, he had to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation once on the way here. We’ve had to do it twice on the table. So 3 times total for CPR.” The nurse said. After a beat she added, “but we’ve gotten her going on a blood transfusion. That and the added oxygen supply should help avoid any further cardiac arrests.” Kix got the impression the nurse was trying to be hopeful. He appreciated that.
“Sir, I just need you to sign here and initial here and here.” She said, handing him the datapad. Kix looked over the form and realized that by signing and initialing, he’d be giving the doctors and nursing staff to stop any lifesaving measures once the limit had been reached. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He hoped that this morning wasn’t the last time he’d see wake up next to you.
He handed the datapad back, signed and initialed like you would’ve wanted.
He washed your wedding ring set off in the sink in the exam room. The nurse had left him alone to go inform the surgeon of his permission. He scrubbed any and all bits of blood from it. He then needed a place to put it, he didn’t want to risk dropping it. He suddenly decided to try his fingers. The set only managed to fit on his left pinky finger. He’d need soap to get it off when it was time to return it to you. He looked at his own ring, tattooed onto his ring finger. He rubbed the inked skin with the thumb of his right hand and left the exam room.
Danvers was leaning up against the opposite wall. He looked disheveled and tired. His clothing was still bloody...your blood. As Danvers apprehensively walked towards him, Kix could see tiny specks of blood on his shirt where you had coughed.
“Hey, ummm Kix right?” Danvers asked, not being able to meet Kix’s eye. He had known your husband was a clone soldier, but he’d never actually met him until now. What a way to meet someone’s husband, he though.
“Yeah, you’re?”
“Detective Vince Danvers. I’m the one who asked your wife to help me...” Kix gave a single nod. Danvers shoved his hands into his pants pockets and nervously swayed.
“Listen, I’m really really sorry. I should never have asked her. If...I should’ve just waited for my partner.” Danvers said, his voice shaking.
“It’s not your fault. She’d call this a ‘hazard of the job’ right?” Kix said.
“Heh...yeah.” Danvers replied. “How is she?”
“Uhm, she’s stable. They’re working on repairing her lung. Intubated. On a ventilator. Oxygen. Blood transfusion.” Kix tried to remember tiredly. “What happened?” He asked. He had to know.
“Serving a search warrant on my suspect. Your wife is the best at them. She’s calming. They always go smoothly. I didn’t want to wait and risk my guy dumping or destroying evidence. He was already agitated that we were even there. She tried to calm him down and have him step outside. Saying she wanted to explain the warrant to him and let him look it over.” Danvers relayed, Kix kept his eyes fixed on the ground.
“He grabbed her arm, we didn’t even see the knife. It turned out to be a small bayonet style blade. He got her once in the side....she fell. That’s when the shooting started.” Danvers trailed off. Kix knew the rest.
“Listen, I don’t blame you. Okay? I knew this was always a risk when I met her.” Kix said after a few silent beats. It was true, but Kix wanted to blame him. He wanted someone that was still alive that he could blame. But deep down, he knew that wasn’t right. The one to blame is dead, which was a good thing for him. Kix would’ve found the guy, and made sure he suffered for days before actually killing him. That realization of that part of himself scared him, but Kix felt it warrented due to the still very real possibility that you’d die. That his kids could be left without their mother and him without this other (and better in many ways) half. Danvers sighed, visibly relieved.
“Thank you, can you keep me updated? I have to get home. My husband has been worried.” Danvers requested, patting Kix on the side of his arm. Kix nodded and the man left.

Did Kai have any sort of family after losing her foster family and becoming the Demon King? Or did she only have her husband?
Yes actually!!! A lot of Kai’s own story involves her own found family collection (i say collection just. cuz she tends to outlive them)
I’ve briefly mentioned she has a few kids and you see them in one of my sketchbook tours
but she also has a group of friends who she was close to
and the opening chapter of one of her ‘stories’ involves her dealing with the loss of a close friend she considered family (she even tried to go through legal means to see him but when humans turned around and said fuck you she snuck in. I can actually post this writing if people wanna read it?)
She also has some of her adoptive family still alive tho the bloodline is thinner. The Hellsing family she was raised in still exists to a point in her story (before the great catastrophe at least) Her whole ‘became the demon king’ thing happened when her uncle attacked her but she was able to get her sister in law and unborn nephew to escape while she distracted the rest (i have a whole ass animatic planned for this to the song “monster” from frozen’s musical. someday. someday I’ll be able to sit down on it weep)
This nephew was the one who hired Ren to help find “the king of fear” as she was known at that point. Alex is a good boy. His son was the one who went to find his great aunt after Ren’s death and she fully became a fallen god and offered her a place to stay and just. try to relax. She ended up falling into a deep sleep for a while and his family was the ones to build the ‘tomb’ she normally rests in when ever she has these extreme ‘low energy’ periods which can last between 5 years to her longest one was 5000. Typically she’ll rest for between 20-50 years at a time. and there’s a legit reason she does this too. But that’s not about family---
Point is that family is still very fond of their matriarchal demoness and she helped them found “Prometheus” a group to help humans deal with monsters and monsters live in peace. (cuz boy howdy do people have trigger fingers) there are other groups in their world with either similar goals or ones to ‘suppress’ monsters (example: The Order is a group who sees monsters as tools and lesser beings. sometimes Prometheus is forced to work with them and normally they send strong demons or dragons and such so that The Order can’t do anything to their operative. it was on one of these collaborations that Kai kidnapped Booberry from them. she regrets nothing.)
Kai often just refers to the current descendant as just “her nephew” as she’s too lazy to shove the amount of “great” in front of it because she’s old. there’s only one case of a niece and that’s where the bloodline ended (again that’s another story all together)
When Kai woke up after the Great Catastrophe alone she ended up meeting a young man named Leo (who if you look in Kai’s tag on my blog you can see him!) Who she bonded with and she likes hanging out with (and there’s other things but I’m not gonna talk about it)
There’s also her ‘generals’ and a few of them are gonna show in TLC soon (just a brief cameo) A group of 4 who’ve met Kai in a few incarnations and they always tend to get along. Original names were Matt, Trisha, Faith, and Maki is Maki (she’s an elf so she lives longer) Current names are Byron, Tiffny, Jacob and Maki. These four actually form Ren’s party when he’s trying to find his wife at the actual start of “Nightmare’s Dream” and you learn they each have a connection to Kai through the story.
Matt/Branden/Byron; he’s featured in the writing I mentioned up top, he’s kinda similar to Leo in the way he interacts with Kai as an almost human morality pet for Kai. He used to be Kai’s student when she was teaching, and his father was the warden at the jail her friend Sammy was in (this is the friend she lost) Matt can see through her disguise when she’s showcasing nightmares. Kai can cause hallucinations on targets using her ‘fear’ hence her title “king of fear” and normally they are only visible to her and her target. But Matt can see them.
He ends up getting in trouble a few times; once with a tribe of demons who want to turn children into imps, once with the literal Anti christ, once with a haunted house. And each time Kai was there and ends up saving him.
Matt later is in an accident and ends up reincarnating as a winged human named Branden and has all his past memories. So when he starts working at Prometheus as one of their ‘informants’ (aka he goes to gather information in both human and supernatural affairs. he’s referred to often as the angel of trust because of his silver tongue) and he meets her again he shouts something from one of his classes with her causing her to snap back on reflex until she realizes (running joke is Kai loathes Julius Ceaser and if you say his name she always whips around shouting “WAS A SLUT AND A HARLOT” in a very aggressive tone. It makes people laugh when she does and she always gets embarrassed afterwards)
The two of them end up working together for a while and become good friends (and maybe a bit more but they never state really) but then when with his new work partner Trisha (nicknamed angel of death, she works in the sector that deals with cleanup) he ends up betraying Prometheus and Trisha rips his wings off and kills him (this is the context between the ‘redraw’ meme I do every few years of a man with a bleeding back drowning)
Trisha is also someone who grew close to Kai (hence she killed Branden because his folly led to Kai nearly going berserk) but she was killed by a sleeper agent from the order. And this is how Kai lost two of her close friends.
Now backing up to Sammy the inmate one; he was with her when Kai met her first child, the young moon goddess Artemis. Arty is a constant for the demoness ever since she picked her up in the woods (her arc also has one of my favorite kai lines: (which i can’t find the direct line but)
Sam shuddered as he looked around the woods, “Do you ever feel like there’s 100 eyes watching you?”
“Yes but it didn’t work out so we broke up.” The demon responded flatly as she looked around with a deep set scowl.
While she was out with Sammy when he was hunting they ended up finding a little girl who turned out to be a new goddess and her elder sister was kidnapped by the embodiment of Greed in his attempt to become a god. Kai ends up stopping this but also kinda ends up becoming Arty’s mom. While she doesn’t raised Arty fully she does do a lot of teaching and such for her and does refer to her as “her daughter” and Arty calls her mom. when the great catastrophe occurs, Arty is one of the few gods who remained when the rest went to new ‘realms’ or simply vanished and is considered one of the main gods of their world because of this.
And then there’s her son Ganon, an Orc Lord she adopted when his village was ruined. he currently poses as her ‘demon king’ while she pretends to be the chancellor (this is the ruse she uses. normally heroes will fight the ‘king’ and lose but if they actually are a threat or have poor reasoning she kills them from behind. this is also how the story starts as someone found a spell to try and incapacitate her buttt)
There’s also morte and her daughter demeter (I’ve shown them before, a set of necromancers) who she’s very friendly with. Demeter even calls her aunty Kaya and loves to sit on her lap and such during meetings. (i have one snippet when Kai was recruiting someone to their side but hadn’t told her yet she was the REAL demon king and Demeter was sitting on her lap laughing) Morte is thankful to Kai for saving her circus (Morte runs a circus that helps those stuck in limbo pass on but at one point demons of sin over took it in a way to gather souls)
There’s also her friend Ciera, the daughter of the girm reaper. she’s Kai’s best friend for the most part of her life, and is the one who helps Ren when the gods of life and death try to prevent him from reincarnating again (which is like other things a whole other story) (she also briefly shows in Bone Stealer at one point. While visiting bunny’s sick grandmother, Bunny and Steve run into Ciera as she’s leaving. Steve stops Bunny from attacking her) She’s over all chill.
There’s also Nicki. Kai’s ‘twin’ brother. He’s the ‘bad guy’ through the arc that contains Leo and sets up ‘the great Split’ that Kai will cause (this is lore/plot stuff) He originally was raised to hate her by their maternal Uncle who’s a arch mage like Ren however he’s fallen due to his hatred of Kai’s birth. Nicki is not really her brother (in the first life) but a failed clone of the demoness. When Kai is reborn Nicki gets to actually be her brother and the two get along really well and he’s very protective of his sister now that he understands what her actual deal is and not the bs his uncle fed him. Before the rebirth too Nicki helped kai solve some stuff and worked with her until his death (unlike her, he was not immortal)
And then Kai actually has two bio children with Ren! Akito her son takes after her and he’s the one who takes over her role as the true demon king of Tir-Na-Nocht so she’s able to die and try life again, and a daughter, Rei who takes after Ren in looks but... she’s a himbo. pure moron. she got her grandpa’s himbo gene strong. She’s a cat girl who works with her brother and she is the head of the guard.
Aki actually has his own story where he grew up in a ‘mundane’ world but then his entire class got ‘isekaid’ to another. it gets shown that this isn’t truly the case. the great ‘split’ mentioned above was Kai literally broke the world in two realms. She made one primarily humans and high tech and then the other was magic and mostly monsters. there are a mix of both but it cut down heavily on the murder. She raised Aki in the human side for his and Rei’s safety due to them being the children of a fallen god (mama worries) and Aki inherited his mother’s odd ‘status’ “Hero/Demon King”  so he has to not expose his demon nature and also stay below the radar (it turns out the person who summoned them was attempting to break a centuries old treaty) until his mother and father can figure out what happened to him (thankfully he can go to a church and his older sister Arty can act as a messenger but there’s a bit of a time split in the worlds) That world is actually the one “Fae Rules” takes place in o7o.
She also is friends with a dead prince named “Shade” (yes this is who you think it is) as well as her ‘cousin’ Sena (who she loves to give shit to)
And in her second life she obvs has her brother, cousins, her father (her father’s boyfriend/her manny), aunt’s etc!!!
So yes; she had family other than her husband!!!! And she cherishes them all.

I’m slowly stretching myself back into reverse au and writing Timber again. Minor retcon for the reverse au: Sonic’s dimension wasn’t just conquered, it was destroyed from the inside out. When they went back to check it out, everything was roboticized- there were no signs of life left, not even Robotnik.
Some context: It’s semi-explained in the writing, but Timber moves into Devi’s dimension after they get married because he feels like he can do more there and he trusts the twins to take things back at home. They’re from entirely different universes (and different dimensions within those universes) but can traverse between them via the interdimensional highway. Timber’s universe is based on the M:XYL series where he’s a Shadow/Sally kid who was had a few years before Sonic and Sally got back together, and Devi’s is based on my ‘reverse au’ where Scourge is Sonic Prime and Sonic is anti-Sonic- she’s the daughter of their clone son. Got it? Good. Here we go.
Wordcount: 1050
Timber groaned, rolling his shoulders as Sonic settled down at the table across from him. His book was splayed open and forgotten mere inches away.
“Slept funny?”
“No, it’s the natural energy of this world.” Timber held up a hand, a yellow flame flaring from his fingers before it twisted around in midair as if someone had blown at it. The color flickered from yellow, to green, to red, then back to yellow. “My body just has to get used to it. It always happens when I’m here for longer than a day.”
“Oh, huh.” Sonic tilted his head to the side. “That sucks.”
“You got moved here from another dimension. How did you deal with it?”
Sonic shrugged, counting off on his fingers. “Between the starvation, the cold stone floors, the electroshocks, and Scourge generally being as much of an asshole as he could, I barely even noticed.”
Timber flinched. Genius move, Acorn. “Oh. Right.”
Sonic set a hand on Timber’s head, scratching a little between the fluffy ears. “It’s fine, that’s all long in the past. If you want, I’m sure the nurse can help- she’s dealt with Devi long enough that I’m sure she knows how to handle interdimensional jetlag.”
“Right…” Timber’s ear twitched before he pulled away from Sonic a little. “Maybe later- mostly it’s just kind of an uncomfortable tingling, nothing painful.”
“That’s good, that’s good.” Sonic nodded. ”Devi still wrapped up in the wedding plans?”
“She’s probably talking poor Annette’s ear off. I’m to go down and make sure that she actually eats in...” He pulled a pocket watch out of one of the pouches on his overcoat. “Half an hour, but she doesn’t want me to see the actual dress until the wedding, and I’ll oblige her that.” He looked back up at Sonic. “So, how is ‘Grandpa’?”
Sonic grinned. “Being kind of pissy you’re moving in, but I wouldn’t worry about it. You can take care of yourself, and you’re going to be family now- he respects that more than you’d think. He actually likes Krysta- she kind of grew on him.”
“It’s still weird to think we’re going to be in-laws.”
“He’ll live. He still adores Dev, and you’re a nice kid.” 
“He hates me. I’m pretty used to people making snap judgements, but I’d like to think I’ve gotten pretty good at bringing people around to at least tolerate me.” Timber slid one of his inhibitors off, rolling it around underneath his index finger. He’d taken to wearing fingerless gloves instead of nothing at all on his hands, and he could feel the energy within the bracelet shifting from the anarcym in the atmosphere. 
“He doesn’t hate you. If he hated you, you’d be dead.”
“Reassuring,” Timber replied dryly. 
“You know…” Sonic thought for a moment. “I think you remind him of his dad.”
“His dad?” Timber raised an eyebrow. “Grandpa Jules? He’s a nice guy, sure, but-”
“It’s a sore spot. This universe is all switched up from yours, remember?” As if Timber could forget, considering he was moving into an alternate version of the same castle he’d grown up in. “I don’t think he was that great to Scourge since he was obsessed with politics, and trying to make the whole world better meant he left his family behind.”
Timber sucked in a breath through his teeth. “Ah. But that’s not-” 
“You said that was part of why you came here, right? To try and help give us a better idea of what running a monarchy should be like, and helping the people?” He shrugged. “I’m not saying that’s the only thing that you’re here for, since I can tell you and Devi are genuinely tight. Honestly, though, you’re staying for the same reason I did.”
Timber jolted. “I thought you were-”
Sonic raised an eyebrow. “You think Scourge could keep me here for forty-five years without me wanting to stay?” Timber just blinked, and Sonic idly ran his fingers over the leather collar around his neck. “He took the shock collar off when we were twenty. There’s a starpost buried in the basement, and plenty of people didn’t like him when we were younger. I could have gotten out if I’d really wanted when he started giving me some more freedoms, but home was completely destroyed, and shoving aside some random Sonic would have probably caused more problems.” He paused. “Especially considering Scourge is the blueprint for what a Sonic should act like, so all his friends would probably be jerks anyway.” 
“Ouch.” Timber winced. “You-”
Sonic waved a hand, dismissing Timber’s concerns before they could even be voiced. “Yeah, yeah, I’ve gotten used to it. I like Scourge now- he really grows on you. Plus, I started helping to reshape things- having a partner that rules the world means I’ve got a lot of power by influencing him. Over the years he’s learned to listen to me- it cuts down on the coup attempts.”
Timber groaned. “I’m going to have to learn to deal with those too, aren’t I? Once the Dark Presence dissipated, we haven’t had too many problems with people grabbing for the throne.”
“Yeah, it doesn’t happen too often anymore, but we’ve got warning systems in place after the time with the knockout gas. You’re a good fighter, Devi says, so you’ll be fine.”
“Oh Chaos,” Timber muttered before straightening up. He’d slumped over at some point.
“We should try a sparring session at some point. If you can fight me, you can fight off any intruder, trust me.”
“It’s not that.” Timber said. “I know I can defend myself, it’s just- still weird realizing I’m going to be staying here long enough to deal with all of this.”
“Hopefully it’ll be forever, if you and Dev don’t drive each other nuts.” He grinned. “We don’t bite unless you ask.” At that, Sonic set a hand on Timber’s shoulder and squeezed. “Just relax. If you ever need somebody to talk to, I’m here, and Krysta is too. Most of the maids are really nice too. I know Scourge, Remy, and even Devi can be kind of a lot at times, but we love them.”
“Yeah, it’ll be worth it,” Timber said, nodding to himself as he stood up, chair grinding against the stone floor. “I’m off to pry my fiancée off her seamstress. Can you tell the cooks to start something?”
Sonic nodded. “Got it. See you later?”
Timber smiled back. “See you later.”

Title: In the dark blue sky you keep Summary: Martha Wayne, the Bat of Gotham, wakes up in a world where here son never died. The difference is startling. AN: Based on an anon prompt in which Flashpoint Thomas and a Batman!Martha meet my happy imaginary canon verse.
Her son had green eyes.
Her son was dead.
Reflexively, Martha grabbed the imposter, clone, hallucination, Fear Toxin. Had someone finally figured out her identity? Was it Crane? No, he wasn’t smart enough on his own, maybe Two-Face had helped or Black Mask. He had been pretty annoyed she and that upstart with Joker’s old moniker had been decimating his empire-
“Grandmother! You’re hurting me!”
Bruce was struggling against her grip, cursing in Arabic under his breath, and Martha finally remembered. Shocked, she let go of Damian, who was quick to take a few steps back.
“Damian. I- I apologize.”
The teenager just sighed, feigning calmness, while still staring at her hand. He looked a lot like Talia wearing that expression. In her homeworld – dimension traveling was a concept Martha still wasn’t comfortable with – Talia had been a girl just as stubborn and proud as Damian. After her death, Martha had often wondered who she could have become, hadn’t the world wanted to get back at Ra’s al Ghul. It was strange to see a world where she had a son.
Where Martha’s son was a father himself.
“It’s fine,” Damian said. “I’ll tell the others to wake you with a broom or a ruler like we do with Baba. And breakfast is ready. Alfred said you can eat upstairs if you want to.”
She had eaten breakfast with everybody else for the past five days, even if it had been uncomfortable to sit next to Thomas again. This other world’s version of him was rough, broken. He didn’t resemble the sweet man Martha recalled. But she supposed she wasn’t much like his wife either. That Martha Wayne had fallen into despair and madness, thriving in the blood splatters of the Joker.
She hadn’t locked down her emotions like a Kane, taken off her wedding ring and traded it for a knife to become someone, something different.
This Bruce probably recognized neither of his parents in these killers wearing their faces.
“Do you have guests today?”
Damian shook his head. “No, just a full house. Everybody’s home again for the first time in weeks, so we’re all eating together. It’s become somewhat of a tradition. Baba wasn’t sure whether you or Grandfather would be up for that.”
Martha was the Bat.
Her life had never been a question of if she wanted to do something. She had to.
“Of course, I’m coming. I’d like to meet the rest of your siblings.”
“I’ll tell Alfred.”
Damian rushed out of her room – a guest room outside of the family wing of the manor – on silent feed. None of the people in Bruce’s family made a sound unless they wanted to. Martha hadn’t been able to stop herself from imagining what assets they must be on the battlefield.
Martha had never taken on a side-kick, or a hero in training, as the Justice League liked to call their junior members. Not that Martha was much of a hero or a vigilante with her poisons, syringes, knives and the League of Assassins on speed dial. She had worked together with the Justice League a few times when the whole world had been threatened by outside forces, but their methods didn’t agree with each other. She thought children were too young for Gotham, any city at all, and they hadn’t approved of the blood trail she left behind.
Martha got dressed. Alfred had rushed to a store after the first day so she could wear clothes that didn’t belong to her grandson’s ex-girlfriend. He had returned with a full batch of outfits, all similar in cut and style to what she used to wear.
Martha hadn’t had the heart to tell him she hadn’t worn a skirt in two decades.
After making sure she was presentable, she left to go to the dining room. Martha had gathered that they usually ate in the kitchen when only four members of the family were in the manor, but since her and Thomas’s arrival, they’d taken to eating in the dining room. With so many people attending – she’d heard a few names being dropped over the past days – they needed the space.
On her way across the manor, she encountered Thomas. He was finally clean-shaven and, wearing Bruce’s shirts, he appeared much younger than he had when they had first arrived.
They both mustered each other, but none of them really knew what to say.
“My room has a mural,” Thomas spoke up. “It’s a mix of spray painting and acrylics.”
Martha had seen a couple rooms decorated like that.
“I think that’s Damian and Duke’s work.”
“The meta?”
Her Thomas used to love giving speeches. He could talk for hours about what fascinated him without taking a break. When Bruce had been- He used to give Bruce biology lectures to fall asleep to.
This Thomas was talkative if he said more than ten words.
“Damian mentioned boding with Duke over art,” Martha continued. “Bruce allowed them free reign of the guest wing as long as they don’t make Alfred disapprove.”
“The manor’s messy enough by his standards already.”
Martha wouldn’t necessarily call the manor messy. It was just more lived-in than what the two of them were used to. There was a distinct lack of breakable vases, and many paintings had been taken down to be replaced by family portraits or paintings done by Damian.
The rugs on the ground weren’t as bright and clean as they used to, but Bruce had said that multiple of his children were friends with speedsters. She’d also found rations of non-perishable food hidden in different corners, an immeasurable amount of cats, a skateboard, toys, instruments, posters, stickers and everything else that belonged in a good home with happy children.
The closer the two got to the dining room, the louder did the voices become.
“And I’m standing there, baby vomit all over my uniform, still holding the kiddo and go ‘Sir, you just violated 34 laws and-‘”
“Timothy, I saw your schematic for a hoverboard, and I was wondering if you would-“
“-too much to ask for one mixed productions where a guy plays a female lead? If you don’t have enough men to cover all male roles, just mix it up completely, why can’t they-“
“Don’t even think of stealing my chocolate, I dare you.”
“-and the kid won’t stop crying. The guy is crying too. And I still had a date to go to.”
“I have multiple degrees and I’m ‘not qualified enough’. Just say you don’t want to hire a woman in a wheelchair and be done, but don’t waste my time.”
“-I’m a broke bitch these student loans can’t kill me-“
“You’re literally putting caviar on your eggs right now, Steph. I know Bruce gave you a credit card, what student loans-“
“Anyway, so I’m running an illegal betting pool at school-“
“Lively, aren’t they?”
Bruce was smiling, looking at his kids discussing heatedly at the table behind Thomas and Martha. Helena, who had been resting in his arms, was now wide awake and squirming. Bruce sat the toddler down and she rushed over to the rest of her siblings.
“The one picking Helena up is Jason, my second son and third eldest. You already met Duke and Damian and heard Tim when he checked the portals you arrived through for abnormalities. He’s the one falling asleep over his cereals. Steph is the blonde one talking to him, gesturing at her food. She was the one to lend you her clothes. The girl beside her is Cassandra, my first daughter and actually second eldest. You know Kate and Bette, I assume? Dick’s my oldest, and he’s the one reenacting the chokehold with the banana. The one who kept the water bottle from falling over next to him is Barbara.”
That had surprised Martha.
“The Commissioner’s daughter?”
Bruce nodded. “Yes. Jim pretends he doesn’t know and we give him space for plausible deniability. It makes holidays very interesting.”
The children kept talking, exchanging stories and snacks, and the tiny toddler in-between them. There was a warmth to their interaction Martha hadn’t felt in years.
“They are strong,” Thomas said.
“They are beautiful,” Martha added, though the term was a poor substitute for what she actually wanted to say.
They’re alive.
She hoped Bruce wouldn’t catch on, but his eyes were already narrowing in concern.
It was easy to forget she wasn’t the only Bat in Gotham anymore.

Untangling Palpatine
Today's exercise is trying to figure out what Palpatine was doing between Episode 6 and Episode 9, and whether or not there's some way the shit we see can make sense.
We start our plot reconstruction at the end of Episode 6, when Vader throws Palpatine down random Death Star shaft #45,641.  There's that burst of energy that appears to be Palpatine being disintegrated, but clearly that's not the case so let's say his force lightning just caused some component on the wall of the shaft to explode.
So Palpatine hits the bottom, fall softened somewhat by a force push but not so much that he's unharmed.  He breaks a lot of bones, plus he once again lightninged himself which seems to be a problem he's got.  Some maintenance worker sees him and flips, calls some other guys in and they get him to safety.  Right at this point the whole place is about to blow, but they get him to an escape pod or something.
So he's alive, and the movie is over.  Anakin has not really brought balance to the force, so I guess that prophesy is a bust - but then I don't know it was confirmed to be specifically about him anyway.  Maybe that was about Kylo or Rey or something.  The Empire doesn't cease to exist right away, but it's not doing great.  It could use some leadership.  Leadership like, say, the Emperor.  But no, he for some reason would rather let the empire fracture and fall into chaos - maybe that was a little too close for comfort, and he wants to lay low until the heat dies down some.
But he can't completely let things go, so he pulls out the old clone vats and makes some pseudo-emperors.  Because that was always a thing he could do, I guess.  He names one Snoke, and one Sloke, and one Skoke, and one Billy just to mix things up.  He sends them to each part of the splintering empire and most of them get killed and that's fine.  He salvages a few areas, and the biggest group turns into the First Order.  And he uses the force to control Snoke - it's not clear how sentient Snoke is when the Emperor isn't pulling his strings, but let's say he's mostly a figurehead and has very little intelligence or initiative of his own.
But meanwhile this body is getting pretty ragged, and his kid (that we've never heard of) has run off and married some girl and knocked her up.  Okay, well that's fine, maybe the kid will be force sensitive or something and he can use that.  It's... not clear why this needs to happen.  His own son is not a person of any interest, presumably the force skipped a generation.  There are other force sensitives out there, does blood relation matter so much?  If it does, is there a reason he can't use a clone?  Also, can he just have more kids himself?
Even if the force lightning has rendered him sterile, wouldn't he want to kidnap his living son and use him as a breeder?  But no, even though for some vague (possibly religious) reasons he wants to use a relative he decides he doesn't care about his kid.  He has the entire might of the first order plus a few million other remaining Empire soldiers at his disposal but he wants this mission to have the personal touch so he sends just one guy to go get his son, his daughter in law, and his granddaughter.
He could give the guy his coordinates - he already has a whole fleet of ships flying to and from the "secret" Sith planet day and night working on production of the planet-killing Star Destroyers, plus all the support personnel, etc. but instead he wants this guy to use one of the two Sith Wayfinders.  One is somewhere in a forest in a box for some reason, the movie never explains that, but the other was right by his throne room in the second Death Star.
So Palpatine force-projects over there, floats around as a ghost, confirms that the throne room survived surprisingly intact and the wayfinder is sitting there in his secret closet.  Cool.  He floats over to the coast, picks a spot at random, memorizes the shape of the wreckage from there, and then commissions a knife.  Why?  Style, that's why.  He writes some coordinates on there - in Sith, obviously - although he doesn't make the coordinates very specific so it's down to luck if the guy will stand at the correct part of the coast for the shape of the blade to line up.
Then he sends the knife to the guy, so the guy can use it to get to the wayfinder and use the wayfinder to get to the planet where the millions of Empire people already live while they build the mega-fleet.  Not overcomplicated at all.
The guy goes, grabs the Emperor's son and daughter in law, ignores the child chasing after them yelling "mamma, don't go!" because surely that's irrelevant, and then briefly and ineffectually questions them before stabbing them to death with the map-knife.  He could go back and look around for the child but it's been a long day and he doesn't want to. Instead, he goes to some other random planet, parks in the middle of the desert, falls into a patch of beads that somehow drops him into a tunnel without letting the beads through, and then he gets eaten by a snake.
Palpatine knows the guy has never returned, but he doesn't send anyone else to check out Jakku or go get the wayfinder or anything.  It's fine.  Everything is fine.  He didn't care that much anyway, and he's already decided that he would rather manipulate Han and Leia's kid who is almost old enough to start training.  Thankfully, despite being surrounded by powerful force sensitive people who love him nobody notices Palpatine reaching across space to mess with the kid.  He does this as Snoke, and sometimes as Vader just for giggles.  Anakin's force ghost thankfully never appears to the kid, that would have fucked up everything.
Eventually he gets Ben to do the privileged white teenager thing and shoot up his school, and brings him into the First Order.  Thankfully, Luke responds by retiring and not fighting the remains of the empire in any way or making any effort to clean up his mess.  This opens the way to really ramp up the First Order, which the opening crawl of Episode 7 implies has just become serious AFTER Luke took off even though with the scope and power they have that's not really possible.  Whatever, we'll say this is the time they start gaining back the ground that was lost in some areas.
So we're at the start of the first of the new movies, Episode 7.  Even though by now Palpatine must already have the Star-Destroyer sized Death Star guns designed, he still has the First Order build the Starkiller Base which is maybe not the best use of resources.  But it works, and in one shot blows up all the goodguys apparently.  Just like that, as the next movie makes clear, the First Order is the main power in the galaxy and the new republic is back to being a tiny group of plucky rebels.
All that's left is the cleanup, but Palpatine doesn't reveal himself or his millions of troops and gigantic fleet of Star Destroyers that must be at least partly completed by now.  He's still holding out for some perfect moment.  Then the Starkiller base gets blown to hell, and there's someone that seems to be a new Jedi.  He orders her killed - does he know this is his granddaughter?  Unclear.  Certainly he keeps ordering her killed after he knows, but it's possible he doesn't find out who she is until... I don't know, until she's close to his Snoke Puppet.
Either way, he tries to get Kylo to kill her.  Luke shows back up, then dies which is what the First Order wanted anyway.  The rebel forces are down to like twelve people, although between episodes 8 and 9 their numbers somehow swell a bit.  It doesn't matter, things are great and it's all over but the party planning.  The fleet of planet-killing Star Destroyers are done, but he buries them underground so that he can have a cool dramatic reveal.  Snoke is dead, and Kylo wants to take over the First Order, but he figures that's easy enough to deal with.
How?  Why, by sending a voicemail to the galaxy as a whole yelling at them.  It's... a roundabout way of doing things to be sure.  He could have just appeared to Kylo, or sent in a Snoke clone (Spoke is almost ready, just needs to be pulled from the vat), or sent the voicemail just to the First Order, or a million other things.  But nah, he tells everyone he's alive at once and then waits for Kylo to hunt him down.  Then he tells Kylo he's Snoke and pretended to be Vader and whatever else, and he dramatically raises all the star destroyers from the ground, but he doesn't deploy them.
The First Order is cool with all this.  It's probably strange for them to find out he was somehow secretly Snoke or in charge of Snoke or whatever, but fine.  And they probably wonder why he didn't bring in the enormous fleet of star destroyers before, and who the millions of people manning them are, but... fine.  Whatever.  It still means they won.  At this point he has told Kylo to kill Rey again, and also revealed who she is.  "Hey, go kill my granddaughter.  Thanks!"
He gets bored at some point and sends out one of the Star Destroyers, blows up a planet.  This star destroyer isn't explicitly accounted for later.  Just saying.  Then he sits back, and he waits for the next thing to happen passively.  He senses, presumably, when Rey is coming.  He certainly is aware when she enters the system, and he must know that she could be bringing the remains of the resistance down on him.  This would be a great time to launch all the star destroyers.
Nah.
So Rey walks in, and he tells her that he WANTED her to come even though he had been sending people to kill her this whole time.  He convinces her that he wants her to kill him and become the new Big Bad Sith - this is super clumsy if it's true, but if it's bullshit it's not a bad idea.  So let's give him some credit and say he never wanted her to kill him and it was reverse psychology - kill me, please, this is my plan!
Kylo shows up too, somehow.  Wait.  Rey stole his ship, right?  Whatever, he called an Uber.  Anyway, he's there and Palps tries to have him killed but that doesn't work.  Then they're both there in front of him and he remembers that he can suck the life out of them.  He couldn't do that to the Snokes Crew, but here's the pick me up he needed.  And then he chucks Kylo down a bottomless shaft because that always works, and... well, okay, it didn't work when Vader threw him down one.  But surely this time it will.  And then he tries to kill Rey.
In the past when he tried to use force lightning on someone with a light saber it went really badly.  This happened several times, but it's his go-to move.  Sure, he could pick up Rey and bash her into a wall until she's paste or something but no!  Force lightning is sooooo cool!  I mean, he's strong enough now that he can, somehow, use force lightning to target every single enemy ship in the sky without looking so killing Rey is no big deal.
Just like those other times, though, she blocks it with the light saber.  It's doing the feedback thing some, and she looks super intense like she's going to try something.  He could just stop the lightning and do that force smash thing.  But but but... force lightning!  So he keeps going.  She blasts him, somehow, and he keeps going, and she does it again and he... explodes.
Huh.
It kinda seems like if he had done anything differently he would have won, and like every part of his plan was needlessly overcomplicated.  It seems like he had the power and resources to take over the entire galaxy at any moment and yet remained invisible enacting redundant or contradictory plans until the last minute.
So, can it work?  Is there a story that makes the revelations of Episode 9 fit into the rest of the story?  Kinda!  But it's super, super stupid.

There's a huge fight going on here this guy Trump has to leave everybody doesn't like him and he's sticking he's sitting here same people do like a little kid kissing everybody off I've heard enough from everyone I want him out I'm ordering him out again. I'm ordering him to be out by noon I don't want to see him here at all I don't want to see him on TV in front of me and every station going to trace down whoever's having them do it and kill them
You have other things happening here there's one doing. Trump was having it done the headless horseman b*******. I'm sending teams after him sons are too and daughters and his cadre we're going to clean you up but take you out
On top of the sheriff and other law enforcement agencies the max are going after judges and they're going after those who work for those judges too. I'm going to take them down. These idiots the trumpsters have several junctions in town they need to be removed we're working with Mac I'm getting them out and it's been a little bit difficult so going after their support found out it's all over the world so we're taking them down and we're pulling them all out and soon there won't be any including Dan. We're pulling out a huge number of them. And really it's the clones we're fighting Trump on this special TV thing and we think that Trump wanted to get hit and her son says we should hit him and right in the head all of them except for the clones now teach him we said that we had enough of you and said go ahead and do it I said yes and you'll be gone thankfully. It's because you're d****** around with her son trying to threaten him with your idiotic move. Turns out the clones had a big compound these assholes went there with like five people and they're blocking his exit. Can you send out drones and it came back and said nobody's there he went outside and you said I'm going to give you a chance to live you have your sniper and leave now and I said no and start to end guns at him and got shot and it said I can't stand this anymore these people went to die they're trying to threaten him no start shopping how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a wood so you start chopping them up and taking their stuff and they keep doing that do other people too
Here in Port Charlotte we have several of these trumpsters saying some real rude stuff about our son so we're going to kill them I'm sending in units and Mac is going after them too and to terminate them permanently and we'll use it as a threat
Other offices are now under scrutiny especially judgeships and things like that and yeah the fight went differently it wasn't too long ago. And we will tell you what offices shortly
The offices of the justice department of the State of Florida and they're starting to fire people who work there and their government workers and they're going with the other percentages but not that much like one person per building but now they're going after them we'll just saying and doing is ridiculous the laws are trying to make an enforce a ridiculous no one wants to hear it anymore as well as nobody wants them in office. And it is going on now and we're not we're just going on now anyways and it was planned by the Max and still is and we're going to take you apart for the stupid insinuation.
Office of the general counsel and that is an office that is used for lawyers the lawyers are on the bar and they are members and we are going after the ones who are retards and pulling them off and we are going after people breaking the law and they are
Office of postal inspection by the state and most states have them if I have a lot of complaints with them they did nothing sat back and laughed and said that'll be the day or it will start doing something to see who it was and what they're doing and this you better not do that and they tried to hurt him and evaded them and start hitting them. But other than that nobody does anything so getting rid of them cuz they just sit there and do nothing they're trying to obstruct mail and reroute it and stop people from getting payments from court cases
There's another office that we're upset with and it is in the max are laying off it's the office of judicial support and one of these offices are normal but these are bloated and so they're firing tons of people then today I plan on laying off half of what they plan to lay off which would be all of them so trying to put the screws to our son a little bit and it's going to go on them and Mac knows them to kill the people doing it to our son and they'll fight around with him for a while get hurt and they'll have to engage
Office of the data and it is for general information and the state and they collect information on people and it is part of the census bureau no that is a part of the state's department of health and that's what they work under and we're eliminating this department in about five other departments like it that are under the department of health of the state. We are examining their method too they say they're hitting someone because they're getting fired and having us do it and turned out to be true so I started hitting them and the people getting hit are going to hit them but this is a big deal there's four other departments it's like the department of youth commissioning where they see if you use their fit for duty there's human beings and they're examining their own and they get very beat up there's a department of local affairs to examine domestic disputes and they're good guys but they're going around cause of trouble and there's a department of critical abuse spousal abuse and stuff ever found starting trouble between people and the health department department of consumer goods and services to make sure that products are not making people insane and you try to bother people with it in other words they took the max stuff and they put it in writing gave people jobs to do it because they couldn't remember what they're doing and they suck very badly. It was very true they got their asses kicked because of this and other idiot things I can Max is dissolving his agencies mostly out of sheer embarrassment
Several other offices of being eliminated fully and others being trimmed until the more like are out
Office of consumer affairs and this is actually the product office and Macs firing the morllock. And it's going to fire most of them today the useless agency and they bother people you see that sun make money I'd have absolutely nothing millions of times and these people are crud dirt and s*** and he wants him to help and ken and others.
Department of actions and committees is a real department it's going to be dissolved and firing everyone in it they're just building money out of the state
There's several departments like that and they're being eliminated there's a few real ones they have to clean people out of and department of fisheries and it's for fishing and department of agriculture and these are State organizations the state EPA and other other organizations like that there's probably 20 of them and they're cleaner clearing them out of there can't get anything done with these assholes in the way and they're starting on the State Assembly workers and they're starting on councilman selectman workers and mayor workers and they're doing that today and they're down to that percentage where it starts hitting them important at least stupid people. Do not believe how dumb they are he's going there to talk to someone that send you around the whole building they have a son do it one day cuz he has more patience he came out said they locked me out. They've done similar stuff to him he just sits there to leave bring him to the right department he tried to do that and they wouldn't do it goes back in size and says you're violating my civil rights I wish to file a complaint what department is it. So they haven't go around the building and we had sheriff's following. Arresting each group as they told him to go somewhere else had them all outside lined up is walking up and down the road saying now which department should I go to of mine to tell them what to do to you oh yeah these people right here and he left. And a lot of them are weeping and crying he said you're trying to do this to our people and we started beating them to death half of half of them we could not revive and we burned in the incinerator on site that they said he used on people like that. And one of them starts saying it we locked his arm off and the other started screaming and told them to shut up. These stories happen every day everybody knows that these idiots here are incompetent and they're causing it there's a few more but he's got to get ready and charge his phone
It's like aviation and more but they're all the state and the federal government already has that stuff but the state usually is does a layer but they're ridiculous is one about firearms. I'm going tobacco drugs illegal drugs they take them all out today 15% to 0 or it's really like 12%, thank God
Thor Freya
God bless you for putting it out they come up to us and they ask to be fired they demand it it's wonderful and yeah the idiots are all bent out of shape cuz they're sitting on a black guy and they consider a gorilla to be a black guy and leatherback to be a black guy and King Kong was laughing all night long yes people sending him footage he loves it and you get some fights with him sometimes but they listen to him and it's a horrible thing now but really these guys are complaining all night long we have to sit here while he's sitting there so she and she's Prego so if you go down the coast and start dying she's going to feast on you so don't do it and my grand nephew says the last sentence and died and went missing probably have a whole bunch of these leatherbacks going around kicking your ass you'll get as you suck so bad. I'm clearing you out you're going to blow I'm going to call in troops now but man you people suck you're so God damn stupid

Winchester meets the Phantoms Ch. 9
By this point in time Danny has gotten very use to the feeling of being summoned, so he had some sense of what was going on. Except the large blue light, and waking up not dying was a new one. Also waking up in the middle of woods with no sense of who summoned him was also very very strange. And that's coming from a half human half ghost hybrid with a clone, traveling with a pair of hunters who have an angel.
"Dean? Sam!" Danny called out, pulling himself up. Danny paused, eyes trained on the knife he found looped on at his waistband. That was new. And that's a zombie. Danny watched quizzically as the corpse stumbled in his direction. It wasn't rushing at him, or actually trying to eat him if he was taking the lazy movements into consideration. "Danielle?!"
The loud gunshots the resonated through the forest pulled, not only his, attention away. His head snapped to the direction the noises were coming from, the corpse turning to look in a different direction. It's dazed steps became more frantic walking the direction it thought it was going. Confused, Danny turned running towards where the shots were coming from with one thing in mind.
Sam Winchester has woken up in many different places before, in many different circumstances. So, waking up in the middle of a random woods isn't that much of a panic inducer. However, waking up to an animated corpse trying to chew his face of was a new one. The spray of blood that followed a gunshot drew his attention to his very much confused and pissed off brother.
"Zombies Sammy, fucking zombies." Dean grounded out, taking aim and shooting at another one that stumbled out of the woods. Sam proceeded to pull himself up, taking the gun out of his waistband and helping his brother take down the more that found it's way into small area they were in. "I thought we were done with zombies after the bobby incident"
"But how?" Sam called over the gunshots, taking the down the last corpse. "Where are we, and why is the dead rising now?"
"Dean?!" A call came from with in the trees, pulling the brother's attention to there. It took Dean a moment to realize where he knew that voice from.
"Danny?" Dean sighed, pulling the teen into a hug. "Fucking hell, do you know what's going on?" Dean questioned, motioning to the now lifeless corpse.
"No clue, I was hoping you guys could tell me." Danny sighed, shoving his knife back into the hem of his jeans. "Do you guys remember anything? I just remember a flash of light."
"I remember we just finished with a case on vampires." Sam chimed in, placing his gun in the back of his jeans. His eyes taking a quick count of what they had and who was there before realization dawned on him. "Where's Danielle?"
"Shit." Danny groaned, dropping to the ground. He ran a hand through his hair, before looking up at the two confused brothers. "One time for a prank, Danielle sent Tuck and I to the Vampire Diaries. A show we both absolutely hated. Almost got us killed too."
"And you think that's what she did." Sam dawned, sharing a look with Dean.
"So, what show are we in?" Dean asked, looking over at the exhausted looking teen.
"I think I know..." Danny trailed,mhis voice low but eyes trained behind them. When they turned they were met with two people. Each wielding a weapon...
"We're where?" Dean asked, eyebrows raised.
"The Walking dead." Danny responded, tilting his head towards the two men eyeing them from the side. "Tuck's obsessed with this show, I've seen every episode so far. I can't tell were in the series it is though but we need to play it like we know the dead has risen for a while. Also call them walkers or roamers." Danny added as an after thought.
"Do we take up their offer to go with them to camp?" Sam asked, glancing over at the others. "What do you know about uh, Daryl and Rick over there?"
"Rick was in a coma when all this started, and he was a sheriff deputy before all this happened. Has a son and wife, but his wife dies when they are at the prison and he gets a toddler. Don't mention any of this. Relate to him as law-enforcement is the best route." Danny explained, shooting a look to Dean before looking over at Sam. "Daryl's a classic redneck I guess. He's a hunter, a plain one, and had a really rough childhood from what the show gives off. He has a brother, died a while after rick's wife, he goes missing before hand." Danny finished.
"We're going with them?" Dean asked.
"We're going with them." Danny responded, nodding. "Follow my lead for the most part, we don't need to fuck everything up, or die."
"Yea, okay." Sam nodded, turning to the duo. "I guess we'll come with you, check out your camp before we fully decide if we'll stay." Rick and Daryl shared a look before nodding.
"How many walkers you killed?" Rick asked as the group walked through the woods, on their way back to their camp.
"Lost count." Danny answered before the other two could, getting a glance back from Rick, an odd look in his eyes.
"How many living you killed?" Rick countered.
"More than we'd like to." Dean answered this time.
"Why?" Rick asked, looking over at the older Winchester.
"Same reason as most, survival." Sam chimed in this time, sharing a look with his two companions.
"How'd the three of you meet?" Rick asked, wanting as much information on the trio he found before he took them back. "What'd you do before all this?"
"Sammy's my brother, I worked law before hand." Dean answered.
"Really?" Rick tossed over his shoulder. "I was a sheriff deputy."
"I was just a rookie, blue suit." Dean offered. "Shifted to law enforcement after Sammy here went to law school."
"What'd you do before?"
"Mechanic." Dean mused.
"We could actually use some help with an RV." Rick called over his shoulder, as the group neared a fenced area. Danny bit back a sigh realizing just how early they were in the series. "Dale's been looking into it, but he's not a mechanic."
"I have no problem looking into it." Dean grinned back, offering a nod.
"What about the kid?" Daryl was the one that chimed in this time, side glancing at the quite teen trailing behind.
"I ran into them a few weeks after this all started." Danny answered, glancing at the hunter. "Been with them ever since, it's only really been the three of us since."
"Here we are." Rick mused as the group entered through the gate. A small group of people gathered around and whispers ensued. "Guys, these are Sam, Dean, and Danny. We ran into them on our search." The sympathetic look he threw to her only helped Danny pinpoint what and where they were.
"I know when we are." Danny told them the moment Rick was swept away by his wife and best friend to discuss the new people. "This was early on, looks like Carl survived his gunshot wound, and they are still looking for Sophia. Carl's the kid in the sheriff hat, and Sophia is the grey-haired woman's daughter. Careful with your anger around her." Danny informed, eyes scanning the small crowd that still whispered to each other.
"What are they talking about?" Sam asked, while Dean was too busy checking out Maggie and Andrea.
"I think we're in." Danny responded, keeping his eyes trained on the two but ears trained on the conversation. "No surprise Shane doesn't like use very much, but because apparently you guys have a twelve year old with you, their letting us stay." Danny glared as the Winchesters concealed a laugh.
"Let's say your fifteen than." Dean mused, a smirk on his lips. "Not that much of a leap."
"Dean, stop." Sam chastised, glaring at his brother who was clearly checking out the Farmer's daughter. "We can't step on any toes here."
"Nobody said anything about looking." Dean smirked, looking back to the knife he was starting to sharpen.
"He seems to have a problem with it." Sam nodded towards Glenn, who was 'secretly' glaring at Dean from his spot with Dale. "Besides, you should play nice. Go over to Rick and see if you can help with the cars." Dean sighed before putting down his knife, and walking from their make shift camp.
Sam sighed, looking around the camp. His eyes catching Danny talking to Daryl, Dean bumping into Shane, Lori talking to Rick and her son, before landing on Carol. The mother was sitting solemnly, cleaning away at some clothes. Making up his mind, Sam made his way over, hoping to ease some of the older woman's pain.
"You've tracked?" Daryl asked. Danny scratched the back of his head at the lack of belief in the older man's voice.
"I know somethings." Danny shrugged, looking over his shoulder at the camp. "Everyone's a bit too family for me I guess, besides I'll do better than the stomping around Rick was doing out there." That dragged a smirk from the man, who nodded.
"Okay, let's have a test trial." Danny grinned, glad he was able to get in a bit more with the closed off man. "Will you friends be alright with that?" Daryl questioned, throwing his crossbow across his back and motioning to the two Winchesters mingling with the group.
"Oh, yea. They won't really care." Danny nodded.
The duo walked in silence, quietly keeping an eye on all the tracks and drags in the ground. Daryl kept shifting between the multiple different worn tracks, looking for any sign of Sophia, or at least of any game.
"Hey, I think I found something." Danny quietly called over, keeping his voice low as to not disturb the silence they had settle over them. "Looks promising?" He questioned, watching as the experienced tracker crouch by the trackers.
"Good find." Daryl responded, pulling himself into a stand and following the tracks. "Look like a kids." Danny felt his heart sink at the hint of hope he heard in the older man's voice. He knew they weren't going to find Sophia until it was to late, and he knew just how much it was going to affect the hunter. He wished he knew where the little girl was so that he could have one thing go right for him.
It took Danielle a lot longer than the others to figure out where she was, and what the hell had gone wrong with her spell. What she was glad for was the little bag she had set up for a return spell when they were ready to get home. Along with the knife, that was a nice bonus added considering she woke up to three zombies stumbling around. Oddly enough, none of them went for her... She'll just chalk that up to being scientifically created.
It took a lot of aimless wondering and looking around to figure out just where she was, and what show. Zombies was a big clue considering all the shows and movies that include them. Z Nation, Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, Waking the Dead, World War Z, and so on. The biggest clue she ran into, or more it ran into her, was none other than a little girl. One that almost had Danielle tearing up at the reminder of who it was, and her faith...
Well her faith before Danielle showed up, because there is no way in hell she was about to let this girl die on her watch.
All things considered, Dean was actually having a damn good time. Yea maybe the beer he was drinking wasn't cold, maybe he wasn't in his universe, and maybe the dead were walking and they were in constant danger. But when was Dean Winchester ever not in danger? Exactly.
The bright side was that he had a beer, he was working on a car, and chatting away with Dale. Dale reminded him so much of a less vulgar Bobby, which considering this wasn't even his world to begin with, he wasn't going to complain.
"Is the kid Danny all alone?" Dale question after a moment of silence, watching Danny and Dale enter the camp again.
"You could say that." Dean responded, glancing to Danny. "He's has an older sister out there, highly likely she's still kicking." Dean mused, he figured with how well they did with the FBI Agent, they could easily lie through with this group.
"Kids growing up in a world like this isn't right, this isn't a place for kids." Dale mused, dropping his attention back to the car.
"Yea, but what can you do?" Dean responded, and that seemed to be the end of the conversation. They shifted to talk about the car, Dean telling the older man things do check and do if the car ever smoked up or broke down.
Sam was the first one to notice her. It did leave Carol a bit confused when Sam suddenly left the table they were talking at, but when her eyes landed on the two figures making their way to the farm, it clicked into place.
Danny was the second one, considering Sam had called out his name, followed by Dean. By the time Rick and the others gathered around, Danielle was swamped in hugs...
Most that's an excuse for the other three to threat Danielle to send them all back before shit goes down. Danny did feel himself tear up, not that he will every tell anyone, when he saw Sophia running into her mother's arms, and saw the attempted hidden smile on Daryl's face.
Maybe this trip wasn't all that bad.
"I absolutely ban you from every using this prank every again." Danny groaned, flopping back onto the motel room bed. "And you get to sleep on the couch tonight." Danielle groaned, but took a sit at the couch nonetheless.
"Hey, my plan was to send us all to the X-files not a zombie apocalypse." Danielle countered, pulling a grown from the two Winchesters.
"As much as that would be amazing, I'm to exhausted." Danny rolled over, looking over at the TV. "I wonder if any of our changes stuck."
"You could check-" Sam started, only to be cut off by Danny.
"I'd rather not, I'd like to think Carol got her little girl back."
"You know one thing?" Dean called from the motel kitchen, coming out with a beer. "We weren't gone for long, but I sure as hell missed a nice cold beer."

Premiere Nebula Character Profile: President Dimanche Asteria
I just realized that I haven’t really done intros or profiles for my civilian Premiere Nebula characters, and I aim to right this wrong as soon as possible.  This is going to be a little more of a straightforward profile with facts about the character, rather than a self-introduction.  (Since she’s one of Olympia’s three presidents, we can handwave this as her really, really not having enough time to take on personal interviews.)  She’s growing to be one of my favorite civilian characters, so here’s a bit about her:
--Olympia, as a country, tends to have longer 7-year presidential terms with no real term limits.  (This will change over the course of the series after various conspiracies against the presidency come out.)  Therefore, President Asteria has been through about two-and-a-half terms by the time the Premiere Nebula timeline begins.  She’s a very popular politician, and I imagine she could easily be elected for four terms like FDR.
--Asteria herself was a semi-popular athlete who became far more well-known as a politician.  Was probably on one of the lower-tier teams that didn’t get as much public spotlight.  Retired early to go into politics.
--Like many iconic female political leaders, she’s viewed as a glamorous figure, whom many consider to be one of the most beautiful women in the country.  Her family came from France, and while they’ve lived in Olympia for many generations, President Asteria still has the dark wavy hair and Mediterranean complexion you might see on a French model.  (Though, like with Michelle Obama today, there’s probably a group of people who crush on her more for her muscular arms than anything.  She still keeps up an athletic regimen, guys.)
--Almost everyone refers to her on a last-name basis, partially because she’s a president and partially because...when she grew up, it was the hot trend to name babies after the day of the week they were born on, so her name literally translates to “Sunday” in French.  She doesn’t mind it much, but referring to her as “Dimanche” is still seen as a big sign that you’re in her inner circle--and that she very much wants to keep you in her inner circle.
--Asteria holds a precarious position in Olympian politics--while she’s respected as the senior among her fellow presidents, some see her as a flighty type who has had numerous romantic encounters with fellow politicians.  Notably, she’s been associated with two men, Hassow Tsukimura and Alain Sparks, who were at one time vying against each other for a presidential title.  Despite the potential scandal involved with dating two presidential candidates, Asteria was fully chaste with both of them and dated them at different times, eventually marrying the future President Tsukimura.
--She’s married to an up-and-coming senator, Reynaldo Clow, and does not appreciate any conspiracy theories about her past romances or her marrying for power.  Still, since Reynaldo Clow is being considered for future presidency, that doesn’t stop people from making comparisons between him and President Tsukimura.
--Dimanche is about 12-15 years older than Reynaldo, which isn’t really treated as a weird thing in Olympia.  This means that, even though Dimanche is at least a generation older than Omega, the two are still sisters-in-law.
--She has a seventeen-year-old son from her past marriage with President Tsukimura, Leo.  Leo, like his father, was a gifted child, and is already interning at a nearby hospital for an advanced high school program.  Asteria’s very proud of him, but...
--Leo was born a twin.  His sister died mysteriously when they were both five years old, while she was under President Tsukimura’s care.  President Asteria has never forgiven her ex-husband for this, and thoroughly believes that he had something to do with the death.
--Even after twelve years, Asteria is very clearly depressed about her daughter’s death, though she hides it from the media.  In the beginning of her presidency, she was a much more naive, lenient figure, but it’s often said that the death made her more jaded and skeptical.
--For this reason, Asteria’s relationship with her bodyguard clone, Miki, is stronger than the ones any of the other presidents have.  Miki is treated as more of a surrogate daughter than an employee--and Koto has felt jealous about this more than once.  (To the point where I’m even planning a potential AU story where Koto ends up as Asteria’s bodyguard instead of Tsukimura’s.)
--To this day, she’s the only president with any knowledge of the Manufacturer or what he does to Actresses.  This happened somewhat by accident, as she and Leo ended up caught in a Faerie Star trap.  Leo filled her in, since he’d been investigating the Actresses alongside Omega and Valka.  Once she finds out what’s been going on, she becomes determined to launch an independent investigation of her own, thoroughly backed by her contacts in Olympian government.
--For many years, the only person who understood her struggle as a mother who lost her child was Alain Sparks, former presidential candidate and (more importantly) Valka’s father.  The minute she finds out Valka is an Actress, this sets off even more red flags, and she often tries to counsel Valka and Omega...and that odd blue-haired girl who’s often seen by their side, who always seems insistent on refusing her help.
--She doesn’t get the chance to learn about the Manufacturer’s identity organically--she makes the mistake of enlisting Stelle Blaise, a certain “orphaned Actress” who’d spent years under President Tsukimura’s care.  Stelle is known for being a rather rash Actress, and drops the bombshell on Asteria without thinking too much about how it would affect her.  
“Oh, you know, that was all a ton of bull, he drew up adoption forms for me so people wouldn’t get too suspicious, I was kidnapped as a newborn, so I never really got to know who my parents were--”
Meanwhile: *President_Asteria.exe has stopped working*
--Stelle tries her hardest, but she isn’t always the best at understanding people.  President Asteria still accepts the adoption papers as real, if only because she’s a lonely mother who wants to take in as many lost and abused children as possible.
--While she’s very obviously rattled by the revelation that her ex-husband has been doing this, she’s not super surprised either.  She’s always been a little suspicious of him, after all...especially when the blue-haired Actress is severely injured in battle, and the DNA scan matches her to one Io Tsukimura.
--Finding her not-quite-dead daughter is a mixed bag for Asteria.  Obviously, she’s glad to have her in her life and adores her more than anything, but as a woman who values justice above all else, she feels that the way Io has been made into a child soldier and magical tool is almost more painful than death.  Almost immediately after she finds Io, she takes her into her house and fills Reynaldo in on the whole situation.
--Io often feels as though she’s too “rough around the edges” to be the presidential daughter people really want her to be.  As a result, she didn’t want her mother to know of her existence until she had genuinely reached that ideal.  Of course, Asteria doesn’t care if her daughter is an emotionally troubled, gothy film enthusiast who curses like a sailor, because at least she’s back where she belongs.  And as far as she’s concerned, if those good-for-nothing tabloids give a damn about it, they’ll have hell to pay with her lawyers.

DBH Superhero AU pt.2
Some more cast members for you guys! If you have any questions about their powers or how everyone found out about their abilities, just ask!
Enjoy
---
Deviants:
Kara Curry/Sneak: A troubled and often times unlucky young woman, Kara has had it rough. After a series of unfortunate events lead to her moving to Detroit to live with her abusive uncle Todd, Kara was forced to drop out of college after being forced to become a servent to her uncle. After a particularly bad night, she found her Deviant ability, invisibility, which helped her not only escape the abusive household she was stuck in, but also rescue her younger cousin, Alice, as well.
It was hope and trustworthy friends that lead her to Jericho, and it is determination that drives her to fight for a better world.
Note: Kara's role within Jericho is that of an informant since her abilities are highly useful for stealth missions. Much like Simon and Daniel, Kara also requires a highly specialized suit to use her powers on missions, otherwise her powers are virtually useless (Nudity is not an option and should not be suggested more than it already has, please don't bring it up again).
Alice Williams: Alice is the young daughter of Todd Williams and Kara's young cousin. While it's unknown if she is Deviant or not, Alice's mother was a confirmed Carrier.
As such, Alice is under Jericho's protection and is currently under watch in case of any signs of Deviancy appearing early on.
Note: She seems to have a strangely accurate intuition when it comes to Deviants, being able to point out if people are more than they seem.
Perhaps this points to a more aura based ability if Alice is in fact a Deviant.
Luther Parke/Goliath: Once one of Zlatko's test subjects, Luther's Deviancy was forced upon him by the deranged scientist, in an effort to get something controllable in between a true Deviant and a Red Ice Mutant. While Luther did momentarily lose himself thanks to the cruel tests he was subjected to, his will was restored by Kara and Alice who nearly fell victim to another one of Zlatko's twisted experiments. Sadly, while Luther did regain his senses, he's lost all of his memories except for his name.
Endowed with super strength and inhuman endurance, Luther is a challenging Deviant to go up against. Loyal to a fault and highly protective of those he cares about, it's unwise to cross this superhuman.
Note: Like North, Luther's muscle mass is beyond what is considered normal for his age. Unlike North, however, there isn't much he can do to hide it since his height has also been affected by Zlatko's experiments. At full height, Luther stands at a staggering 9 feet tall, and his skin is as thick as armour. His metabolism is slower than the twins's but Luther also requires a high calorie diet and regular exercise to stay healthy.
Ralph Vladimary/Bruteroot: A 2nd generation Deviant who showed signs of having plantomancy abilities early on in his youth. Once a bright and cheerful individual with a love for gardening, Ralph was a victim of misfortune after accidentally using his powers in public. Attacked and brutally beaten by a group of bigots, a traumatized and wounded Ralph only escaped with his life after retaliating violently, resulting in the deaths of his aggressors.
Found in an abandoned building by Kara and Alice right after they ran away, and eventually taken to Jericho to help him recover, Ralph is a caring individual, but also easily scared and mistrustful of others. He seems to be afraid of his powers and has a hard time controlling them.
Note: Ralph's wounds have never closed properly because his powers seem to have caused plantlife to highjack his body. As such, Ralph seems to be part plant himself, and seems to attract insects and other critters as a result of his bizarre hybrid biology.
Jericho has decreed that Ralph is not allowed to do field missions unsupervised. Should a mission require his contribution, it's advised that Lucy, Kara, Jerry or Rupert be paired up with him to keep him in check.
Jerry(s) Bosch/Legion: Jerry Bosch used to be the cheerful only child of an old Navy veteran who took him in, after he found the poor boy wondering the woods on a freezing cold winter night. Several years later after hitting puberty, Jerry woke up feeling different, while also finding he had an extra arm growing out of his torso.
While still cheerful and an overall ray of sunshine, Jerry is no longer one being, but many beings all linked by a hivemind. His Deviant ability is that of multiplication, which provides Jericho with an intricate communication web of clones that are eager to help anyone in need.
No one is quite sure how Cyberlife hasn't tracked down Jerry or his many clones, since his father has done a lot of reconstruction to accommodate every single one of his boys, and hasn't really hidden the fact he went from having one son, to over 10 of him.
One thing is certain: the world gets a little bit brighter for Deviants in need, one Jerry at a time!
Note: Jerry's biology is comparable to that of an amoeba, since his body seems to have somehow become unicellular without turning him into a blobby mass. Multiplication isn't painful, as the Jerrys cannot feel pain, but it seems to be very uncomfortable for them, with all clones sharing the feeling through their mental link.
Overall the Jerrys are a bit odd but everyone is quite fond of their helpful and kind nature. If you ever need help just ask for Jerry, there's bound to be one positioned near you.
Important: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANYONE ASK THE JERRYS TO REUNITE AS A SINGLE BEING. IT'S POSSIBLE BUT THE RESULTS AREN'T PRETTY AND NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT.
Rupert Travis/Eagle-Eyes: A 2nd generation Deviant who's ability came in a little late, Rupert used to be a honor roll student with a veterinarian scholarship, until his ability manifested. A college dropout and pushed away by his own family for his oddities, Rupert is a survivor and a vigilante known as Eagle-Eyes, who will on occasion help Jericho.
It's not in his nature to stay put for long, and his closest friends are all of the winged variety.
Note: Rupert's flight powers while highly beneficial for scouting missions, have caused him to grow two massive feathered wings out of his back. This of course has made him an outcast in his family's eyes, despite his condition being a result of his parents being Carriers.
Rupert is known for having several eyes in the sky in the form of trained pigeons. He seems very fond of them, and in return they seem very fond of him as well.
Shaolin Being: There are many things about the Shaolin Being that people know, and that is that they do not know anything about him.
Not his real name, where he came from, nor if he even has any family.
A mysterious Deviant, the Shaolin Being came to Jericho to offer his assistance as a healer.
He is very good at his job, and seems to be in control of his powers. However there seems to be something troubling his mind.
Something quite terrible.
Note: Shaolin Being's powers are energy based and seem to follow the law of equivalent exchange. With this in mind, it's advised not to ask him to heal someone who is near death. A life for a life, is not worth the emotional damage.
Echo and Ripple: Like the Shaolin Being, no one knows much about Echo or Ripple. They are very reserved 2nd generation Deviants who seem to know North personally, although the latter refuses to disclose any information on both. It's assumed that they were two of the girls she has saved in the past, but the rumors are plentiful and stories change all the time.
The two seem to have discarded their past names and identities and have assumed their Deviant personas as their true selves, making them two of the hardest people in Jericho to track. This makes them ideal for covert missions, and they like Kara and the twins, are favoured for such missions.
Both of them have inhuman endurance and agility, although Echo seems to have mild shape shifting abilities, while Ripple has mild technokinetic abilities. They are the perfect duo of infiltrators and hackers.
Note: Hyperlife has been trying to link the two to a double child sex slavery case that has been archived for a while now due to lack of evidence. Whether or not Echo and Ripple are the missing Tracy and Stacy, is up for debate.
Lucy Wandera: A 1st generation Deviant, Lucy has known pain and loss and become something of a legend among her fellow Deviants. A guide and healer to those in desperate need, Lucy is a respected member of Jericho, and often acts as a voice of reason in the most difficult times.
Her primary abilities are healing and divination.
Note: Lucy does not participate in field missions, acting instead as an advisor and healer. She is in complete control of her powers and is an inspiration to the younger generation of Deviants. Her eyes seem to have turned completely black, due to her usage of her second sight.
Humans:
Hank Anderson: An old grizzled cop with a grudge against Hyperlife, due to their specialist doctors having failed to save his young son's life after he suffered a horrific car crash caused by harsh weather. Once the pride of the DPD's Red Ice Division, Hank has been trying to drown himself in the bottom of a licor bottle, but one chance encounter has slowly lead to a second chance at life. There's just something about Connor that feels strangely familiar...Like he needs to protect this odd kid who doesn't know how to behave his own age.
Carl Manfred: Markus's adoptive father and Elijah Kamski's most trusted friend, Carl is an esteemed and brilliant artist who's spent the last three years trying to do right by his son while also raising a dangerous bioweapon to be good.
Sharp minded and with an eye for detail, Carl can only hope for the better as he tries to lead his sons in the right direction.
Leo Manfred: Markus's adoptive brother and Carl's biological son, Leo is a bit of a mess but he's trying hard to get his life back together after his mother has died.
He seems to like Markus, but his jealousy towards the Deviant often makes him act hostile towards him, something which has only worsened after he began taking Red Ice.
Recently he's began showing signs of mutation, and has tried to go to rehab to stop his addiction before the chemical drug consumes him. Whether or not he'll be able to stop it in time, is to be seen...
Elijah Kamski: Hyperlife's original founder and the man who not only discovered Thirium, but created the T-Vaccine as well. Kamski is an enigmatic man who meant well when he introduced Thirium into the world. Whether or not he is the same person he was before the world began to crumble around him, is up for debate.
One thing is clear however: He has faith in Markus and hopes to still be around when the world finally embraces Deviency. Until then he'll remain in self-exile in the company of his most loveliest creations, the Chloes.
Chloe(s): Elijah Kamski's personal assistants and favoured creations, they are bioengineered beings that are the perfect blend of organic and machine. Very doll-like and passive, people are often unnerved by their unusually calm presence.
Amanda Stern: Elijah Kamski's old mentor and one of Hyperlife's ranking officers, Amanda is in charge of the Rook Division, working as the Hunters's handler.
Strict and ruthless, Amanda is both the calm before the storm, and the eye of the tempest. Everyone is a little intimidated by her.
Zlatko: An ex-Hyperlife employee obcessed with the effects of Red Ice and Deviency, Zlatko is a deranged scientist with a god complex, who wants to create the perfect spliced Deviant. Something which is neither man nor animal, but that can be controlled like a machine. He has yet to succeed, but he's got a basement full of tormented beasts to content himself with.

Pleasantview +25 years recap
Pleasantview +25 years is my attempt at joining all my favorite families through out the franchise in one save. I've spent about four days in creating over 45 families that populate all of the worlds I have in The Sims 4. And when I say I created them, I actually mean I downloaded them from the gallery. =//) I'm not particularly good at creating Sims... Willow Creek are only Pleasantview Sims, Oasis Springs are mostly Strangetown Sims, Newcrest are mostly rich Sims from all the games, San Myshuno is everyone I didn't know where to locate them, mostly single Sims, and Banacle Bay are the creative and LGBT Sims. I also really need to thank @homijoh for sharing her rule set with us some time ago. I loved it and I'm using it for this rotational game play. For more information (I warn you, A LOT of Information since I tell a thing or two about every family) look behind the cut!
Willow Creek:
Broke I Household: Brandi, Beau and Skip Junior – Brandi never remarried and did an okay job at raising three boys on her own.
Broke II Household: Dustin, Angela, Susan, Mitch, Melinda, Brad – Dustin had got Angela pregnant as a teen and from that day on, their relationship went downhill. Why they are still together? Probably because of their four children.
Burb Household: John, Jennifer, Michael – Michael is the recreation of a son the Burbs had once in my game. Never forgot him =)
Dreamer Household: Dirk, Lilith, Hugo, Irmi – Hugo and Irmi are twins and their parent's whole proud.
Dreamer-Goth Household: Darren, Cassandra, Manuel, Daniela, Dorothee – After a bad divorce from Don Lothario, Cassandra found true love in Darren Dreamer and they had two girls. Darren took her son with Don in, like his own flesh.
Goth Household: Alexander, Lucy, Agatha – Alex and Lucy are too buzy with their career to care for their only daughter Agatha.
Goth-Caliente Household: Dina, Nina, Simon, Enrique – Dina inherited Goth Manor from her decreased husband Mortimer and took her sister and nephew in.
Langerak-Pleasant Household: Daniel, Kaylynn, Trina, Zelda – After leaving Mary-Sue for the Maid, Daniel wouldn't have thought to ever hear teenage girls fight again, yet here he is!
Lothario Household: Don, Bianca – Don was a d*ck to women and here he is, estranged from his two sons. After an abduction by aliens and the birth of his daughter Bianca Don suddenly saw clear regarding his sexuality.
Oldie Household: Mary-Sue is divorced and moved back in with her parents. Since 25 years she's bickering with her elderly mother.
Oasis Springs:
Beaker Household: Loki, Circe, Atom, Ceres – With his clone children Loki could save Circe from a pregnancy and yet have his perfect family!
Curious Household: Pascal, Vidcund, Lazlo, Crystal, Tycho, Techna, Erik, Marie – Crystal has no idea how she managed to live with her brothers in law and their strange kids for over 20 years.
Grunt Household: Ripp, Buck, Jill, Ralf – People say the older sibling should be responsible for the younger siblings. Tell that Ripp Grunt...
Landgraab Household: Nancy, Geoffrey, Malcolm – Just the normal Sims 4 Landgraab family.

Roomies Household: Zoe, Mitchel, J, Gavin – Just the normal Sims 4 Roomies household.
Smith Household: Johnny, Ophelia, Sally, Ginny, Ben, Dora – The only problem of this family is, which of the girls should share their room with their baby sister.
Zugovich Household: A family introduced in the Sims pet stories. Just a little gag to add some fresh blood.
Newcrest:
Alto Household: Holly II, Don, Trenton – My interpretation is, that the Holly Alto from DS is the daughter of the Holly Alto from The Sims 3. Trenton is a Sim from Lunar Lakes.
Capp Household: Juliette, Romeo, Cleo, Linea – Juliette married her big love, she had her happy ending with her Romeo.
Jacquet Household: Gilbert, Florence, Sébastian – I never really shipped those two, but I wanted to include both.

Sekemoto Household: Cecila, Len – Cecilia is the grand-daughter of Sam Sekemoto. I created her a long time ago in the Sims 2 and there she became Alexander Goth's wife (his wife in the DS version is called Cecilia. But now she's only the mother of Len Sekemoto, a Sim from Lunar Lakes.
Sims Household: John – Your average white guy next door and son of the tutorial Sims.
Tricou Household: Orion – Always a loner Orion lives in an almost empty penthouse.
Vatore Household: Caleb, Lilith – The Vatore family from Forgotten Hollow. I don't have Vampires, so they are just some ordinary Gothics.
Xio Household: Tian – He's from Shang Simala and just recently moved to San Myshuno.
Yuan Household: Kien – After a successful career as a k-pop icon, Kien retired in San Myshuno.
Brindleton Bay:
Climate Household: Arthur, Janine, Summer, Nicolas – Just the normal Climate family from the gallery.

Hecking Household: Just the ordinary Sims 4 Hecking family.
Lynx Household: Just the ordinary Sims 4 Lynx family.

Ottomas Household: David – After growing up with much to many siblings, all David wanted to be was alone.
Una Household: Natasha, Joana – Nobody ever knew who Joana's father was. It's totally wasn't obvious!
I haven’t played much until now, only about 36 hours with the Broke I household. I suspect it to be a bit buggy with SO many sims (it’s already 147) but I hope my PC can handle it. I’m really excited to play this!
