“For Crowley’s sake…”

Baz was thrilled to get out of the states, but he seemed to be thrown right back into it. At least he knew where he was the first time around, now he didn’t know where he was. He just wanted to go home, he wanted to go home to Simon. 

“Which circle of hell am I in?”

     “  my favourite one.   earth,  ”   vanitas says flatly.   perhaps vanitas isn’t feeling the kindest today,  his shoulders wracked with pain as he tries to avoid thinking about the way leorio’s definitely gonna be upset with him upon figuring out he’s taken probably more than the allotted dose of aspirin.   “  what  ---   do you not know how you got here too  ?  ”

“hey, kid.” it’s not as though harry’s tiptoeing out of the apartment, trying to get away unseen, and eddie’s the parent who caught him. it’s not like that at all.

harry and marcus are adults, and eddie’s marcus’ roommate, sure, but what they get up to is their business. even though eddie did sort of catch harry trying to tiptoe out of the apartment in the morning, presumably back to his own place to shower, get changed, whatever.

even if harry’s got v’s kid, or alternate self, or whatever, inside of him, that doesn’t make eddie responsible for him. though trying to tell himself - and more importantly, the symbiote - that… doesn’t always work.

“how’s the thing going with baby v? you uh… you told marcus yet?” he’d disclosed their extra roommate pretty early on - it’s his house, god damn it, if he wants to walk around with his symbiote out, he should be able to do so - and marcus had… taken it surprisingly in stride. either that, or he’d had a breakdown somewhere where eddie couldn’t hear him.

“v’s not giving you any trouble about what you’re eating, right?” after all the trouble he and his own symbiote had gone through trying to align their diets, he’s hoping to save harry some of the trouble.

     harry’s fine  !   everything’s fine,   it’s all good,   absolutely nothing is wrong,  &  there’s not a single thing weird about the fact that eddie happened to stumble upon him half-awake as he tries to make it out of the apartment.

     “  hi,  eddie,  ”  he does not wince because he knows it’s not a scolding.   it’s not weird if you don’t make it weird.   it’s not weird if you don’t make it weird.

     at least this part of his life,  harry can handle.   this small sense of normality where he can just be a normal guy with a normal boyfriend with normal concerns.   not harry osborn,  the son of norman osborn,  but just…   harry.   but with his dad here,  he knows his hopes for normality will be soon shattered.   he’s just preparing for the fallout,  at this point. 

     at the mention of his name,  harry immediately hears vee buzzing,  DAD  !, in his skull.   it echoes in his skull before he hears a tiny,  OUT  ?  as harry sighs a little.   “  vee’s been okay,  still gets frustrated when he can’t go out when i’m at work or school,  but…  ”  he shrugs helplessly.   “  it was less of me telling marcus,  &  moreso:   vee telling marcus.  ”   not that harry hadn’t planned to tell marcus himself,  but vee really wanted to meet him.

     “  so far vee’s been happy with some human foods…   he’s really into popcorn,  for some reason  ?  ”   harry smiles weakly,  before looking at his hands,  “  i’ve been keeping him on raw meats for a while.   it’s been working.   he still asks to eat daily,  but at least he’s asking.  ”

     harry feels uneven,  like he can’t quite breathe right,  but it’s not vee,  he knows,  just him being far too lost in his thoughts as always.   with his dad here,  it’s dangerous.   if his dad knows there’s not just one symbiote in amber falls.   they could get experimented on.   &  if that ever happens,  harry could never,  would never,  forgive himself.   his voice is meek,  soft,  as he looks up,  trembling a little,  “  my dad’s here.   by the way.  ”

(  unebellamort‌ .  )   //     charlie watson.

“Shit, shit, shit!” Charlie cursed softly under her breath as she pushed herself out from under the car, oil, and grease covering her hands and smudges along her face. “How do people still not know how to take care of their cars? You can’t just run them until something starts making rattling noises!” Charlie was talking to no one in particular, just talking to herself like she found herself doing a lot these days to keep herself sane. She missed Bumblebee. She missed her old life and she was still adjusting to this new one that she didn’t fit into. Not that she fit into her old life much either. Spotting Victor standing there, Charlie gave an awkward smile and wiped her nose (effectively getting oil smudged along the tip. “I didn’t know anyone else was in the garage. Um, hi, I’m Charlie and I’m going to guess you either work here or you’re here to pick up one of the cars? I hope this isn’t your car.” Damn it, she hoped this wasn’t the other’s car, she needed this job. It was the only thing she was good at - well aside from making an idiot of herself.

     victor is admittedly exhausted.   not because of the shop,  no,  tony does a good job at making sure none of them run themselves ragged even if does it to himself all the time.   no, he’s thankful for the shop,  it gives him things to think about to distract himself.   no,  the reason he’s so exhausted is because he had to figure out a way to check on his cybernetics,  to no avail.   if he’s gonna do a body scan,  he’ll have to figure something else out.   

     at least he has this,  where he can think about something else entirely.   like going to a neighboring mechanic shop.   he hears a girl talking to herself,  but doesn’t comment until she realises he’s there,  offering a tiny apologetic smile.   he gets it,  he’s the same way when he sees cars that people run ragged,  feels horrible when he sees how broken some cars are when they’re brought in.   he’s not too sure what it is about people  &  their inability to regularly maintain  &  take care of their cars.   he shakes his head,  “  i’m victor.   &,  well,  ”   he shrugs a little,  “  i’m actually sort of neither  ?   i work for another shop in town,  &  we ran out of transmission fluid. our shipments don’t come until next week which means we’re kinda screwed until then. i was wondering if we could buy some from the shop  ?   we’ll pay you in full for them, but we have several people who are asking for transmission flushes.  ”

(  ofsecondwinds‌ .  )   //     wally west.

“you’re here!” 

wally makes a noise similar to a squeal that he will deny until the day he dies, abandoning his conversation with the firefighters in favour of outright running up to barry and throwing his arms around the man’s neck, crashing into him at an inhuman speed and clinging like a koala. 

“everyone else had started showing up and i was getting sort of nervous that you wouldn’t come but bruce said you weren’t back in central city as far as he knew so i figured if you were anywhere you were probably on your way here but i never know because i don’t even know if they sent out like an official justice league call to bring everyone here or what and i can’t exactly ask bruce because gar said that dick said that bruce doesn’t like me and i didn’t even do anything to him other than maybe date his son but that’s besides the point speaking of which you definitely need to meet dick he’s really great but now that i’m thinking about it you might’ve met him before but either way you should meet him again because he’s gone through puberty this time and he’s like way hotter than he used to be and y’know what you don’t need to know any of this but you took so long to show up, uncle barry, what happened to being places in a flash, huh?” it tumbles out in one breath, though if anyone can understand wally when he gets excited, it’s barry. “i wouldn’t have to word vomit at you if you had been here sooner! i could’ve told you things as they happened!”

he tips his head back, just grinning up at barry for a moment, as though basking in his presence. “i missed your dumb face, uncle barry.” he settles on, before releasing him and glancing back to the chaos behind him. “okay, listen… i can definitely explain, but i’d really rather not.”

     barry was kind of expecting wally to be excited to see him,  but he wasn’t exactly expecting wally to run at him.   he catches him easily,  hugging his nephew close.   he hasn’t seen the younger in a wild time,  too many things going on for the both of them,  so he’s glad to see that wally’s been doing alright.   he was a tad skeptical of him being in amber falls alone,  but it’s clear that he’s been doing just fine which is absolutely relieved by.

     when wally speaks,  barry stays attentive,  nodding as appropriate to let wally know that he’s genuinely listening  &  letting him say his piece.   he gets what it’s like to have a lot to say all at once  &  not have anyone really understand it,  so he always makes sure to stay focused whenever wally talks to him.

     there are a couple of things that stick out to him like,  bruce apparently not liking wally  &  wally apparently dating dick,  which is all kind of wild considering he hasn’t been away from them all for that long,  has he  ?  “  i wasn't really planning on showing up,  but no,  they don't have an official justice league call as far as i know,  &  if we do have one,  then i have been completely ignoring it.   ”   definitely leaving them on voice mail.   yikes.   depending on who it is,  he’s sure they won’t mind,  but it’s the principle of the matter.   he’s also pretty sure he’s met dick,  but it’s definitely been a long time since he’s actually seen the kid around.   wally’s love life is his business,  so barry’s not going to pry,  but they’re definitely gonna talk later about how this all happened in the span of months. 

     barry doesn’t hide his laughter when wally scolds him for not coming sooner,  “  okay,  well,  someone had to watch over the cities now that everyone has suddenly decided to take refuge here  !  ”   barry’s hopeless at being on time,  let’s be real.   it’s his thing at this point.   truly nothing will get him on time,  except for,  perhaps,  the apocalypse.   he grins back as he lets go of wally when he’s released from the koala cling,  “  i missed you too,  wally.  ”   when barry looks over to the firefighters who are still flitting in  &  out,  he shrugs,  “  yeah,  i figured.   well,  how mad will your boss be if i sneak you out of here  ?  ”

     “  hope you don’t mind,  your secretary let me in.  ”

     barry’s standing by the window,  totally channeling his inner brooding ceo persona.   that is,  before he turns around to grin at bruce.   granted,  barry could have easily let himself in,  but he figured he might as well go through the proper channels  &  all.   that,  &  bruce’s secretary said she would let Mr. Wayne know about barry’s presence.   so,  truly,  it’s not like his presence is that much of a surprise.   or,  at least it shouldn’t be.

     “  hope i didn’t miss the party.   heard everyone was here,  figured i’d come along too.  ”   barry zips over to one of the chairs in front of bruce’s desk.   “  do we actually have an official justice league call,  by the way  ?   is that something i missed over the last few years in my absence  ?   wally brought it up to me,  &  it got me thinking.   we should probably have one,  right  ?  ”

     barry hums a little,  before snapping his fingers,  “  speaking of wally.  ”

     he gestures to where a paper bag rests on the table,  using his speed to reveal a coffee cake.   “  he said something about you not liking him  ?   which i thought,  that doesn’t sound right because there’d be no reason for that,  right  ?  ”

Spencer had been working on a case and was up late the night before. He was running low on sleep as he held about the 10th cup of coffee in his hand. His mind already on hyperdrive as he was writing something down rather aggressively as he finally made the connection that he was looking for. In his hurry to get back to the precinct, he accidently ran into someone and spilled the coffee all over himself. “Shit. Sorry about that.” 

     it’s easier for him to go undetected most days,  but  ---   of course  ---   god has to strike him down more when he’s already had a shit night.   he feels someone smash into his shoulder,  barely feeling it but looking over to see the man covered in coffee.   for fuck’s sake.   

     he shrugs,  “  it’s fine. i’m not the one with coffee on myself.  ”   he’s only got a twenty that leorio  (  the absolute mad lad.  the fool.  )  gave him for food  &  he knows he probably shouldn’t spend it for no reason.   still,  he sighs,  “  do you need me to pay for that  ?  ”  he’s really hoping the answer’s no.

—— fingertips curled and danced some as wanda sat down by a nearby lake. there was a certain peace and stillness to it, being able to use her powers and just…focus. she remembered…everything, yet nothing at all. five years of her life went missing, she’d lost the love of her life…and it was still like an open wound. everytime she closed her eyes, she’d see vision’s face, she’d see natasha’s face…she’d see tony’s face. then there was peitro…he never had the chance to live and it enraged her. her chaos magic shot from her fingertips as she let out a cry of anger. streaks of red shot from everywhere around her, if you were far enough; it would look like a red light show. she looked around her the sparks of red still swirling around her. ❝ d…did i do that…? ❞ she asked all while wiping the tears from her cheeks. 

     tsuna has been trying his best to keep his head low.   being without the guardians feels like missing limbs;   after being surrounded with his famiglia for years,  them altogether,  it’s foreign to be away from them.   he feels vulnerable in his loneliness once more even if he knows they’re all just phone calls away.   phone calls aren’t the same,  not when he can’t have them here with him physically.   but he knows that he needs to learn how to stand on his own two feet alone,  &  it’s only four years of university for him to deal with.   

     he can do this.   even if he has to hide his flames,  he’s been doing okay.   it’s been zero (0) days since his last breakdown.   he can handle things.

     he was just at the lake to do some sketching for one of his general education courses when he startles at the sight of red.   he backs away instinctively,  the sparks hadn’t looked like flames at all,  but tsuna can’t be certain.   “  what was  ---   are you okay  ?  ”

     he really hasn’t been in amber falls long,  hadn’t actually considered going.   after rejoining the justice league,  he had taken to just hanging around in central city trying to take on the smaller crimes to get back to everything.   that plan quickly changed when he found out the others were all in amber falls.   in hindsight,  maybe he shouldn’t have abandoned everything to go visit the city,  but here he was anyways.

     it’s a nice city,  admittedly,  &  he sorta does understand why it’s suddenly become a hotspot for everyone.   that being said,  he’s been trying to find wally at the job he said he worked at;  which,  wild:   but there happens to be a lot of mechanic shops in amber falls.   so,  barry kind of just waited at a high roof until he had seen the telltale sparks from an electrical explosion coming from a mechanic garage.
