2/2 Recap (Waffle)

Spoilers for new content abound. I put a break into the post when I start talking about content. If you don’t want to know anything about new things, don’t look at this. Come back later...we’ll be here. We are also always happy to converse with people and answer questions so slide into out SNM DM’s!

Ok. I fully expect this might be a shitshow of a recap but we’ll see where this goes. It is currently the afternoon after our first show back and my mind is still running on high about last night. This may be a stream of consciousness recap.

Let’s start from the beginning. Welcome back post-Covid. I will start by giving all the kudos to the staff. Everything is being handled seriously and with care. It is a lovely change in tenor from what we have historically seen with how the building has been run. Basic Covid safety changes to checkin include required vaccinations, required testing, and required masking. What does that mean? You must be vaccinated to attend. You must be 14 days out from your final shot. As of now, there is a testing requirement. At home tests are not accepted. The test must be from the day of or the day before. In the guest advisement (which goes out in email 24-48 hours before your show) there is a link to make an appointment for a test at the hotel. It is free if you use that testing site. It was easy and we did ours a few hours before our show. There is a masking requirement. You can not use your own mask. They will provide you with a free white KN95 mask in a sealed bag in line. Wear that mask. Last night a guest must have changed out the mask for their own and a black mask pulled them aside and made them put it back on. It is obvious if you aren't wearing it correctly. The plastic masks have been redesigned and stop now at the bottom of your nose. If you are in the Manderley drinking you can obviously take them off.

I talked to some of the staff and it seems like they are keeping an eye on the cases as they move forward with the reopening. It sounds like the testing requirement may not be permanent and may change depending on infection rates and the general COVID world. For now, expect testing.

The hotel is currently accepting the NYC Covid Safe app so I STRONGLY suggest downloading that. You can use it even if you are not a NYC resident. All the app does is allow you to take a picture of your photo ID, vaccination card, and test results and save it in the app. It makes checkin much easier and you don’t need to dig out your license and vax cards. You just scroll through the items and the staff is able to quickly check each thing. It helps them, too.

Here are a few other show info points that I don’t consider spoilers. The Manderley is not open pre-show. You can’t get a drink or hang out in there until the entry is done and entry seems to take a bit longer than the standard hour which make since. After everyone is in the show, the bar opens up as usual.

There are also no phones in the show (for real now). They are utilizing small bags that lock now if you take it in the show. They can unlock your phone in the Manderley if you want to check it or use it in the bar. I would recommend coat checking your phone. Kae checked hers last night. I took mine in because our kid is at her grandparents house for the week but I will probably check it from here on out. I didn’t come out to the bar at all. The bags they are using are small purse style. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and it’s in otter box case. It barely fit in the bag for size reference. The bags are a canvas material so they are flat but don't mold to the phones. The come with a body strap so you can wear it. I wear men’s jeans and was able to wrap the strap around the bag and stick it in my back pocket. It was hanging out the top of my pocket but was secured. It won’t fit in a side pocket. Unless you anticipate needing your phone in the Manderley, check it.

Post-show, the hotel lobby is opened in addition to the Manderley and there is a bar there to spread out the crowds at the end of the show. They close that down before the bar once the crown thins out. There is currently no merchandise for sale but that will change at some point. (Edited to add that there is now an official merch shop as of Thursday and it has it’s own space with some new and amazing items for sale! Look at my Mckittrick growing up and getting it’s very own store!)

On to the actual show.

The show queue is a bit different once you get past coatcheck. You check in as usual but then you line up at the bottom of the stairs and wait. The let about 15-20 people in at a time to the maze. To stagger entrances, they split the group and have half enter through the stairs and slightly less do the elevator. It was very smart for Covid reasons. We were in the first group let in. I got the stair entrance and Kae was held for the elevator. I went straight down to ballroom and arrived before any characters. The first elevator arrived while the witches were still out preparing for ballroom. They seem to start entrances early because it takes longer.

It was so exciting! It felt like a million years ago and also like yesterday. My verrrrrry loose plan going in was to get back to basics and appreciate the space. I didn’t do as much set exploration as I thought because I got caught up in the storylines. I did get back to basics! I spent over half my show with Nurse and/or Matron.

I started my night following Danvers for no reason other than that is what caught my attention at the moment. There are no 1:1′s so we watched the Bald/Macduff guest from the mezzanine. I noticed some choreography changes right away. Another change to the show that is not terribly surprising is that almost all edibles for cast are locked up now. Danvers has several locked cabinets throughout the set. She puts out the toast in the lobby now and all the things she uses to mix her milk is locked up. The food for rave is no longer just hanging out on set and Hecate brings it out.

Joy was on as Nurse and I have to say that she was the breakout star for me last night. The cast was incredibly strong but Joy was one of my favorite Nurses. She put so many small nuanced moments into her performance that I’ve never seen a nurse think to do. The best and worst parts of Nurse (and Matron) loops is the lack of structure. They are characters that have had the least marks to hit and spend a lot of time doing things alone. It can make for a super boring loop. It also has the potential to be engaging if the cast make the most of those moments. Joy is a superb dancer. It’s really the small moments though. When she went into the woods to help Matron up after the chalking scene she was clearly concerned and distressed finding her. She leaned down and took her wrist to check her pulse. It was a mind blowing moment! She spent some time chalking “My Dearest Love” over and over. She started chalking “Lady Mac” before stopping, looking shocked and distressed and quickly erasing with her sleeve. Another phenomenal, intentional choice. We watched the banquet from the mezzanine and as the toast happened she nervously rubbed her neck. I’m hoping to catch her again this trip because she was wonderful.

Matron has a ton of new content. Basically any character with lots of 1:1′s has new content to fill the time now. She ventured out of the woods and to various locations on the 5th floor with Nurse. They had a scene where the nurse tucked her into a bed tightly then stumbled across the room and coughed up a nail into a bedpan. There is a new duet between the two in the padded cell that is probably the best thing I have ever seen in the hotel except for the Caroline/Hecate 1:1.

Hecate has lots of new content as well and has a scene in the apothecary! Saw Agnes hanging a missing poster in Paisley sweets then later learned from Kae that Sexy witch goes in and tears it down. All the content I saw that was added really brought something to the series or characters. Thoughtful is a word I keep using because it was all so thoughtful. Bravo!

There are some choreography changes to dances. There is so much new stuff to check out even if you are familiar with the show. My biggest gripe is that Duncan still sleeps for 10 minutes. Hopefully he will get some new things to do as things go on and potentially get tweaked. It’s only a one hour loop guys! Duncan doesn’t need a damn nap!

Perhaps the biggest shock of the night was that there are still candies in Paisley Sweets that you can take and eat. They are all wrapped candy now but it was a fun surprise. In my excitement I didn't get out from behind the counter before Fulton came in and for the first time in a long time, got caught between an actor and a wall when he jumped the counter to get candy!

I had to end the night with Matron and Nurse not only to see how their loop ends now but also, it just felt right. Their loop ends the same as pre-pandemic times. It was nice to watch. One of my favorite things is, if I choose to full loop a chapter 1st loop or spend a lot of time with someone, come back to them toward the end. It’s a nice little bookend to my show. It feel right to end the show where I either started or put in the most time and love. Watching the finale from the mezzanine was wild after over two years. I felt hands on my shoulders and immediately tensed up like I had never even left.

Ending the night with Joy in the Manderley was lovely. I’m sincerely sorry for whatever emotional word vomit I spewed at her about her performance that blew me away. The sentiments were genuine and true but the delivery was SURELY lacking! It was the best drinking in the bar with family until we were booted to the street. I can’t wait to do it again all week.

OPM Mega review (chapters 131 - 148): Part 2 To the side, not the sidelines

A continuation of part 1 of the mega review. This isn’t a narrative account, but rather a look at all the other groups and happenings around where the main battle is raging.

Heroism in all sizes

It’s like the end of the world. City Z isn’t the first city to face near total devastation. But City A was at least gone in a flash. People had almost no time to consider their imminent demise. In City Z, the carnage has had time to build and to come from multiple directions. From vampiric monster roots enveloping and sucking the lives out of inhabitants by the block. From powerful earthquakes splitting and even twisting the ground. From aerial bombardments of gigantic rubble and from the sea itself as the coastline is threatened by a chain of tsunamis. Survivors aren’t bothering to try driving: it’s whatever you can carry as fast as you can.

Those who gave up their beds. The Hero Hospital in City S has come to serve as an impromptu staging post for nearby heroes. Like a middle finger stuck up at face of civilisation, the tower previously buried underground and its glowing red monster is just about visible from the hillsides of City S and draws heroes in like a beacon. First Metal Bat, then Mumen Rider, then the Tank Toppers, then the Blizzard Group, then all the other heroes hospitalised in the aftermath of either the Day of Chaos or Garou’s depredations discharge themselves against medical advice and run in to see who they can save.

just as well they all went -- the roads are so impassable and the situation so volatile that they’re literally the only rescue coming for hours if not days

Swept up in the mood, the martial artists were considering moving out too, only for Suiryu to pour cold water on the notion. It has done me a world of good to see that Suiryu has been inspired by Max and Snek and not Saitama. He finally gets it that a hero is someone who has the courage to step into the path of danger because someone needs help, and not because they’re strong and think they’ll win.

No space for playing hero. It’s very wise that Suiryu advised his fellow martial artists not to play hero. If many have complained about how heroes seem to be blessed with life, no such protections are afforded to non-heroes. The people who went in alongside heroes have suffered grievously, although those who have died did so bravely.

I have a one-person prayer circle going for Sekingar. I pray that ONE will choose to spare his fine non-hero one-eyed, single-handed ass. I have come to like the guy and I’ve been impressed at how he has stayed calm when trapped in City Z, succeeded in encouraging discouraged heroes and even asserting a genuine authority to guide Metal Bat and King. I don’t think there’s too many more like him in the executive of the Hero Association and think it’d be a shame if he didn’t bring his hard-won experiences back to guide them in what’s sure to be a crisis.

The king under the mountain

This arc has introduced us to a lot of concepts and players who are likely to have long-term effect on the world. In this series of chapters, some of these ideas are developed further.

Came for the pussy, stayed for the tentacles. I’m sorry, I’m allowed one double entendre a week and I decided to curse you with it. I wouldn’t have mentioned this but Drive Knight’s comings and goings are almost certainly going to be very plot-relevant later. He was supposed to be gone with his prize of one Nyan, but then he saw the tower emerge and Psykos-Orochi wave tentacles skyward and as much as a cyborg with no discernable facial features can be said to yearn, he yearned. For a sample that is.

He stuck around as long as it took him to get a sample of Orochi and then he was gone, without so much as a ‘thank you for your help’. At present, we’ll just have to see what this is all about later.

When the cat’s away the mice will play. The only way to foment a world ending crisis is to have the guy who can squash it all and wonder what the fuss was about occupied elsewhere. Through meeting Flashy Flash and getting a tour into the deepest reaches of the Monster Association thanks to Manako, and a couple of other things, Saitama is literally trapped in an alternative dimension. Although, being Saitama, if he felt a sense of urgency, he’d break back into the real world without a second thought. Right now he’s curious,worried for his house, but mostly hungry. Some curry would be nice.

The real question is how are the heroes going to hold out until Saitama arrives? I’ve been touched by how genre-savvy Genos and King are about this. It’d be amusing if it weren’t so brutally true.

The formal establishment of extra-spatial dimensions as a feature not restricted to a few unusual individuals. Phoenixman first got us learning about the idea of extra dimensions, in his case a private manifestation of his inner psyche. Neither he nor Child Emperor physically moved.

Ninchirin introduces us to the idea of an extra-spatial dimension that physical objects can be stowed in and taken from.

But nothing takes it as far as ‘God’ with the existence of a pocket dimension with its own timeline that takes people in wholesale. Whether a lot of time passes on the outside (as it does for Saitama and co) or no time passes (as it does for Psykos-Orochi) seems to depend on ‘His’ will.

The formal establishment of ‘God’ as a singular being with a distinct personality. Homeless Emperor first talked about ‘God’ as being a being who tasked him with eliminating humanity after he despaired of living as one. Pyskos expands on that concept. She saw ‘God’ very differently, as a quasi-planetary being rather than as a vaguely humanoid one, but her experience of ‘Him’ as a being who bestowed power and a mission on her bears striking similarity to that of Homeless Emperor.

How people get to talk to ‘God’ becomes clear when we see Flashy Flash and Saitama accidentally summoning ‘Him’ via handling a box. Which leads very naturally to elucidating some of the mystery of Blast.

Finding out why Blast is still the number 1 hero. If the likes of Tatsumaki leave us scratching our heads as to how any hero could outwork her in terms of facing monsters, Blast gives us an answer. He specialises in dealing with non-physical threats, which he does by having some sort of dimension-hopping gizmo. The black box he disposes of identical to that seen in Tatsumaki’s flashback, leading us naturally to think about what business the facility holding her was having with ‘Him.’ Webcomic readers see a gimme as well in the construction of the Ninja Village Flash hails from, along with Blast paying the ninjas a visit.

With Blast having taken Saitama and co out of reality, it’s going to be an unknown while before they pop back into it.

Sleeping is such a nice euphemism for dying

The principle of explosive growth through surviving situations that should have killed one is by this point a well-established mechanic within the story. After seeing Phoenixman come back from the dead, it should perhaps not be a surprise to us that Orochi does the same. In coming back, he’s evolved into a distributed form that can regrow after even extensive destruction and the consequences of his doing so are already covered in part 1 of this review.

Speaking of evolution, what about Garou? We left Garou buried under tons of rock in the wake of Tatsumaki lifting the base. Yet again, he does not die -- thank you Darkshine for your anti blunt trauma vaccination -- and little by little, we see him dig himself out, and transforming himself as he goes as he dreams of a world in which he enforces peace but very unconventional means.

In retrospect, the sequence of Garou’s eyes closing in response to his humanising memory of Tareo is the most ominous as the eyes that open again have not a shred of humanity in them.

It reminds me a lot of what we saw happen to Gouketsu when the latter accepted a monster cell, his human eyes closing as a new set of monster ones opened.

At long last, Garou makes it back to the surface. But what’s this? Where’s the wise-cracking, judgemental little shit we love? What is this near silent, befanged, clawed feral creature beating down on everything he sees? Oh dear. He is not sleeping sweetly, dreaming pleasant dreams of a world perfectly obedient while he waits for the fist of some self-righteous prince to awaken him to his destiny. Garou may perceive it as lapses in consciousness, but it’s the monster within eating him alive. He’s dying. He is under real existential threat of being completely lost to monsterfication and how it is that he can save his humanity is a big point of interest.

In his flawed way, Bang is trying to get through to Garou. I don’t hold out big prospects of him reaching him. And if he does, I hold out even smaller prospects of him actually beating Garou. Barring some interruption, we might be about to see the tragedy of a master beaten down by his student.

I’m going to leave this review here. What comes next is all too soon going to change the status quo of the story, if not for the better, then certainly for the more eventful.

#OPM #review #Snek #Saitama #Garou #Bang #Flashy Flash #Sekingar #a lot has happened #and the heroes working bravely in the background to save as many as they can is indeed heroism at its best #how the supernatural meddling fits in with everything that we see going on we don't yet know #Garou coming back onto the scene is a far more ominous re-emergence than it was in the webcomic #this could get really ugly

Let’s Review || Chapter 17

Peter Parker knew that his big sister would do anything for him to be safe and happy. She’d given up everything for him twice over already and would do it again in a heartbeat. And that’s why, when the criminal mastermind Tony Stark started inextricably following him around, he didn’t say a word. Because he knew without a doubt Penny would do whatever she had to if it meant keeping Peter safe. He had to protect her, just like she always protected him. He never considered what would happen if Stark decided both Parker siblings were worth taking. Never considered who else in Stark’s inner circle would agree. He just wanted to protect her and yet somehow, they both ended up with needles in their necks.

relationship: Steve Rogers/Original Female Character/Bucky Barnes, background Peter Parker/Tony Stark rating: Explicit warnings: Dark Steve Rogers, Dark Bucky Barnes, Dark Tony Stark, Dark Avengers, kidnapping, non-consensual&dark sexual situations, underage Peter Parker, emotional and psychological abuse, dark sexual situations VERY SERIOUS REMINDER: we’re getting into perilous content. heed the tags, this story features NON-CONSENSUAL SEXUAL SITUATIONS, power imbalances, and really, really fucked up characters with really horrible and fucked up motives. YOU MUST BE OVER 18 TO READ THIS STORY. put yourself first, if this story is going to trigger or upset you, do not continue.

"You know, with the right training she could be—"

"Don't. Don't say it, Clint." Bucky still had an ice pack pressed against his head, laid in one of the beds in Bruce's med lab with Tony in a similar situation to his left. Penny was medically sedated and laying across Bucky's chest, looking far too peaceful for having attempted two whole murders not an hour ago.

Natasha smiled at the way her blond friend pouted, crossing his muscled arms over his chest and muttering something about "I was just saying…". She'd come home just in time to witness the chaos that followed Penny's admittedly brutal attack (she would never tell the soldiers, but she was at least 75% sure that given the right combination of timing and surprise Penny could absolutely kill at least one of them) and hadn't stopped smiling since.

Seeing Penny Parker on a television screen, filmed by a shitty old laptop webcam, was entirely different than seeing her in person. She was just as cute, made the same little irritated faces and noises but she could see what Steve had seen so early on now, that there was something more. Even after she’d literally just taken a makeshift baseball bat to his skull, Bucky’s hands were running up and down her back, chin brushing the top of her head. They’d mentioned something about not wanting her to have to see a needle mark after being sedated, Steve had changed her into a long sleeve shirt and a pair of pink shorts, but not before making everyone but Tony and Bucky leave the room.

There was something about her that made the people in her vicinity want to do things for her. She made people want to make her happy. It was some kind of compulsion, found most deeply in the three men currently resting closest to her— she’d tried to literally break his ribs, but even Tony had an arm stretched over the gap between beds to hold her hand.

The man in question was actually the main reason she’d headed to the medical floor upon returning to the tower. There were times when Tony became strangely unapproachable and it had taken a good 30 minutes of him reclining back on a hospital bed for him to regain his usual nonchalance and easiness. As soon as he recognized her lurking near the back of the room he’d motioned her over but was quick to ask her to wait until Penny had been under for a sufficient amount of time before asking for a debrief.

“She’s gonna lose it when she wakes up,” Steve was talking mostly to Bucky, both hands on his lovers, “we’ll need to at least prove that Peter’s alright, immediately.”

“She can’t see him for a bit,” Bucky’s tone was tighter than Natasha would’ve expected, his hands running up under the back of Penny’s shirt, “no offense Tony, but Penny was trying so hard and he just—”

“No offense taken, Buckaroo,” Tony was tapping away at his tablet with his free hand, “Peter is in very big trouble.”

“Penny is too,” Steve sighed heavily, elbows sinking into the mattress of Bucky and Penny’s bed slightly harder, “I just don’t know… She obviously has to be punished, what she did could’ve caused a lot more damage if she’d taken half a second longer to think it through, but at the same time—”

“At the same time we know she’s going to do whatever she thinks she has to in order to protect him.” Bucky removed one hand from Penny’s back to grasp his boyfriend’s. “We should’ve been ready for it. She doesn’t have impulse control when it comes to Peter, she needed us to keep her steady and we didn’t.”

“If you are going to begin infantilizing her, you would best do it now.” There was a sharp delight in Loki’s tone as the man spoke, a wicked smirk on his face while he stood with his arms crossed over his chest near the wall. “Otherwise, keep in mind that she is an adult and is capable of rational thought.”

“Sometimes she may not be, brother.” Thor sent the slender man a quick look of derision. “A rage is not something we can all dig our way out of and you know that just as well as I. Penny will trade herself and her own safety for Peter’s every time, in any case.”

“I would say we’d take her for another lesson with Rumlow, but…” Steve very deliberately turned his gaze to her and Natasha forced herself not to preen under the eyes of one of her best friends, who knew she wouldn’t have returned unless she’d been successful in her task.

“I’m afraid he’s going to be coming with me, after a debrief,” she inclined her head towards Tony, eyes darting just momentarily to Penny in question.

“She’s been out long enough at this point she shouldn’t be able to still hear anything and if she does her brain won’t be able to make sense of it,” Bruce stated from his desk in the corner, having heard the woman’s hesitation.

“Go ahead, Nat,” Tony added when the redhead still hesitated.

“I found good matches for Penny and Peter,” she stated, producing photographs from her back pocket, “they’re not perfect, I’d need a bit more time, but they’ll be good enough. We’ll just need to mutilate the bodies more than usual, people won’t ask questions when they fit the situation so well. I’m going to burn the bodies in the woods, make it look like Rumlow got lost trying to find his way back to his car and died in the wilderness.”

Tony hummed, brushing his fingers over the figures in the photographs. They’d been beaten in the process of their abduction but their general size, shape, and ages were correct. The kid wasn’t anything close to his baby boy, nothing in comparison to Peter, but he would likely fit the bill of tall, skinny, 17 almost 18-year-old boy who potentially didn’t get proper nutrition. The woman who’d been taken in place of Penny was slightly closer, if only because the skin was nearly the right shade (which wouldn’t matter once the body was burned, anyway).

“How are the police doing?”

“They’re pretty sure Penny was the target,” Clint butted in, having assisted with infiltrating the law enforcement presence surrounding the situation, “Peter was an unfortunate casualty. They have two or three leads but obviously nothing accurate, although her friend did come forward and tell the police Penny had been attacked in a club all those months ago.”

Tony swung his legs over the side of the hospital bed but carefully waited for a go head nod from Bruce before getting to his feet. “I’m going to run some security tests, make sure nothing’s going to come back to us. Natasha, feel free to take a break before you run off with Rumlow.”

“Hold on, Tony, I’m gonna come with you.” Steve leaned over and kissed Bucky gently, running his lips over the back of Penny’s head. “We’re obviously gonna need some advice going forward with Penny and I don’t know a better person to talk it over with.”

“Right on Cap, let’s go,” Tony turned and bent over to kiss Penny’s visible cheek, “take care of her, Bucky Bear.”

“She won’t stay under long after I remove the anesthesia, we should do a blood test while she’s out,” Bruce interjected as he walked to one of the medical cabinets near his desk, “give her the vaccinations she’s missing—”

“Can you get that thing out of her arm?” Steve stopped just short of the doorway, Tony nearly running into his back. “There’s no way she’ll let us do it while she’s awake unless we restrain her.”

“The birth control implant?” Bruce nodded, “Yeah, it’s just a quick incision.”

Bucky hummed quietly, one hand coming up to tangle in her hair. “Is there anything else she needs that you can do while she’s asleep?”

“I don’t think so,” Banner shook his head while he continued to ready his equipment, “I’m gonna take enough blood to run all of the tests we need, she might be a little woozy for a bit once she wakes up. Just make sure she eats and drinks plenty.”

“She’ll wake up scared but after that she’ll settle pretty fast,” Steve crossed his arms over his chest. “She knows she’s gonna get a punishment, she’ll be good ‘cause she’s scared to make it worse.”

Bucky heaved a sigh, feeling Penny shift on his chest in the process. Thor and Loki remained in the room while Bruce puttered around, despite Natasha and Clint following at a respectful distance behind Steve and Tony. They hadn’t actually been near Penny since her arrival and he could tell the brothers were curious—obviously, the stories had been running rampant. She was certainly a curiosity.

“She really is quite precious,” Thor’s voice was a rumble as he came to sit in the chair Steve had vacated, “the things she has gone through would have ruined some people.”

Loki scoffed from his corner but Bucky didn’t take it personally; Thor and Loki had been through things that would cripple a normal person. Their childhoods had been full of the kind of suffering most people had nightmares about, literal torture. But in all fairness, Thor and Loki had been ruined by what they’d gone through.

“Bucky, lift her arm up and put her hand behind her head, I need to get to her tricep to get the implant out,” Bruce had rolled a little metal tray over to the bedside, “it’s a small incision, I’ll press the implant out and bandage it up.”

“How soon will it lose effect?”

The look the doctor leveled him was derisive, “Immediately, Buck. She’s gonna be fertile very quickly, you’ll need to make sure she has what she needs for when she starts to menstruate again.”

It took real, actual willpower to keep himself from popping a boner. The word fertile was weird and held certain connotations, but the idea that if he came inside her she could get pregnant was almost mind-blowing. He and Steve wanted a big family, they always had, even when it had just been the two of them. They’d never thought anything would come of it, especially in the ‘40s but even after they’d found themselves hurled 70 years into the future. Two men adopting children was still persistently frowned upon. That wouldn’t be a problem anymore though, they had Penny, they had their babydoll. They were gonna have babies.

Bruce proceeded to cut the implant out and bandage her up, take so many vials of blood from her arm that Bucky started getting concerned, and inject several vaccinations into each of her arms. He warned that she’d likely be sore, to keep her in long sleeves so she couldn’t irritate or see the injection sites.

“Everything should be set to rights in your apartment,” Loki stated when Bucky finally came to stand up, Penny carefully cradled in his arms, “anything broken was replicated and replaced, the cats are with the little witch. I do suggest keeping her away from any object that can be wielded like a bat, her swing would likely give Thor a run for his money.”

“She is a little warrior,” Thor stood up nodding, coming around the bed to stand next to his brother, “I hope that soon she will feel safe enough to know she does not have to be.”

“Steve and Tony will come up with something.” If there was one thing Buck had no doubts about it was that if the pair of them put their heads together over a problem, it would inevitably be solved rather quickly. “We’ve just gotta keep her safe in the meantime. I’m gonna get her up to bed. How long on those sedatives, Bruce?”

“Not long, probably half an hour, an hour max. She’s going to be drowsy for a bit once she comes out of it too, so keep an eye on her.”

Bucky slipped through the necessary pleasantries and found himself walking just slightly faster than usual towards the elevator. For some reason the ride took forever, all he wanted was Penny back in their bed, wrapped in blankets that smelled like them.

Well, actually, that might’ve been a small white lie. In all honesty, he was very much preoccupied with the idea of Penny sleeping while filled to the brim with his cum. He wouldn't fuck her while she was unconscious, not for their first time anyway, but he wanted his cum on her, in her, somehow ASAP and his cock completely agreed. He knew that Steve would likely disagree with him, the blond had been pressing him for patience for weeks but he couldn't hold back completely— not while an image of the tiny Penny standing with a hugely pregnant belly (twins, he told himself, she was so big because she had two babies in there) watched him demurely through dark lashes in his mind's eye.

He barely registered walking into the apartment, kicking off his shoes or shutting their bedroom door. The kittens were with Wanda, their friend not wanting to leave the poor things alone for too long, and he found the absence of the squeaky meows a small relief; that had been a part of what set Penny off before.

They'd been doing that a lot— tiptoeing around Penny. She was delicate, in a very complicated situation, but they had been walking on eggshells with her since day one. They'd been so determined to make her happy they'd forgotten that breaking Penny needed to be a priority. She was strong-willed and he loved that, but her determination and stubbornness needed to be directed constructively. They should've been more stern with her from the beginning, more exacting.

Bucky had decided on behalf of both him and Steve that it would be changing immediately upon her waking. Once he'd set her on the bed rested up against the headboard and several pillows, he immediately pulled off her little pink shorts and smiled at the sight below; Penny was small but she had a particularly sweet bubble butt and the panties they had for her didn't really fit because of it. The fabric was consistently caught between the cheeks of her ass, pulled tight in the crotch with dusky pussy lips almost peaking out on either side, especially when he splayed her legs wide to either side.

His cock came out of his joggers and slapped against his lower stomach just as soon as he lowered the waistband far enough. Fully erect he was incredibly impressive, a combination of a botched super-soldier serum and genetics. He had always had a healthy sex drive, even when he and Stevie had been half-starving in their late teens he could remember railing the blond's ass in whatever speck of privacy he could achieve nearly every day. Stevie had whined even back then, even before the enhancements that Bucky had too much cum, that he felt like Bucky dumped buckets up his asshole every time they fucked. 'It's like gettin' an enema at the doctor, Buck,' the skinny blond would whine, holding himself around the gut as they walked down the street, 'I need'a bathroom.' Bucky would tell him that he better keep his asshole clenched to keep it all in, otherwise it'd look pretty bad while they walked. 'You want people to think you shit yourself with the wet spot you'd make punk? You better hold that cum until we get home— if you start to spill before that I might have to pull you into an alley and fill you back up.'

It was a thing, he supposed, his very slight obsession with his cum filling and covering his lovers. Bucky climbed up onto the bed, hovering over Penny's waist while he jerked his cock. He'd imagined Penny walking around with belly fulls of cum constantly and figured daily blowjobs would be a good way to curb her stubbornness. Precum dripped from the tip of his cock and he arched his back to rub the head over her just slightly parted lips. It had been days since he and Steve had gotten a chance to go at it and he felt his balls draw up at the sensation of her breath on his oversensitive skin.

"That's good babydoll," he murmured, slipping his thumb between her lips and gently coaxing her mouth open wider, "lemme cum right on that sweet tongue baby. Give you plenty to drink, just like Bruce said."

He slipped his cock just between her lips, groaning at the sensation while continuing to work himself. He could come buckets if he tried but was careful to bring on just a small orgasm, just enough to take the edge off.

"My good girl, you would take my whole cock down your throat, wouldn't you," his voice was gritty and low, "gonna swallow a whole load.. but for now…"

He moaned her name when he came, thick ropes covering her tongue quickly. He tilted her head back and rubbed her throat gently, coaxing her to swallow before he grasped the base of his dick almost painfully and shifted down her body. As much as he liked seeing her pretty lips covered in his drying cum, there was another spot he wanted to mark just as thoroughly.

Pulling the crotch of her underwear to the side was easy with the way he'd spread her legs and he was quick to work his hand down his cock, shooting the rest of his load into her panties. His breathing was faster than normal during an orgasm and as he pressed her panties back in place, slipping his fingers under the waistband and pulling them high, high, high on her hips to work his cum all over her little pussy, he realized he hadn't had such a satisfying orgasm since the first time he'd seen her on that shitty webcam footage.

He heaved a sigh, carefully rearranging Penny to lay comfortably in the bed and gently pulling her silk shorts back up her legs. They’d likely be the only pair of pants she wore for the next week; her punishment would begin in the morning, a 25 count spanking every day for 5 days—1 for Tony’s bruised ribs, 2 for the grade of concussion Bucky had from the hit, 1 for Steve’s broken nose, and 1 for not following the rules. Their poor baby definitely wouldn’t be sitting on the bruises for a while.

Bucky’s eyes flickered up when the bedroom door opened, only to nearly get yet another erection upon seeing Steve’s shirtless form illuminated from behind. The blond had a tendency to undress while walking from room to room in the apartment, leaving behind trails of clothes in his wake. His shirt was still in hand this time, likely a new habit in development after the few days he’d experienced Penny’s disgruntled looks every time she found a rogue shirt flung haphazardly across the apartment.

“Is that cum on her lips, Buck?” His voice was gravelly and Bucky let a slow smirk cross his face.

“In all fairness, I hadn’t come yet,” Bucky’s hand trailed down between her tights, swirling his fingers in the mess in her panties and showing it to the other man in the light, “not until this.”

“Is that right, jerk? You telling me you didn’t cum in her mouth? I don’t believe that for a second,” Steve slipped around the side of the bed, tugging Bucky back towards the edge and pressing his thumb past the brunet’s lips to stroke against his tongue. “Penny’ll be asleep for a little longer, why don’t you come take a shower with me?”

Bucky took the time to lean over Penny’s sleeping form and press his lips against her cheek before letting Steve pull him to his feet and into the bathroom. He made sure to leave the door propped open, just in case Penny started to wake up while they were still in the shower.

In all honesty, they probably let things get away from them; the anesthesia mixed with the vaccinations and the blood loss wreaked quick havoc on Penny’s consciousness as she dragged herself awake; there was a sense of panic and despair caught in her chest but she didn’t know why? She didn’t know where she was, where was Peter, where was Aunt May—

The slowly increasing despair suddenly flooded through her, eyes blurring until Aunt May took shape in the shadows and contours of the bed beside her. God, she looked so pretty, so young, but her usual smile was missing. Instead, there were tears on her cheeks and a tremble shook her form.

“May?” Penny’s voice felt hoarse, several octaves lower than usual, “Aunt May, why’re you crying?”

May didn’t answer, her hand came down to rest on Penny’s shoulder but she couldn’t feel it. She couldn’t feel the familiar weight, the comforting heat. Something wasn’t right, her head swam. Why was she so messed up? The last time—

“What did you do, Pen?” Aunt May’s voice warbled, tapering off at the end.

“Do?” She wasn’t sure if the word actually came out, had she actually spoken?

“What did you do, Penny?” Names echoed in Penny’s head, Penny, Penina, Penelope, Pen, different voices saying different things, “All I asked was for you to take care of Peter…”

Crushing, violent pain rocketed through her heart, echoing in her muscles, vibrating from her pores. Aunt May had made her make so many promises before she passed, take care of Peter, give him a chance, be there for him. She’d asked for so much and Penny hadn’t been able to conform to every promise; she couldn’t take care of Peter and herself, couldn’t give him a chance and stay in school, couldn’t be there for him and also provide for him. There were trade-offs, she did what she had to.

But the look of disappointment on May’s face was overwhelming, “you’re going to die, he’ll be alone, here, in this… place.”

This place. Penny rolled to the edge of the bed opposite to where Aunt May sat, the contents of her stomach splattering against the hardwood floor. She shivered violently, almost falling off the edge of the bed. Her brain told her Aunt May had moved, the way the bed jolted made it feel like she was right behind her.

“I’m so sorry,” she breathed, eyes wide and filling with tears, “I tried to hard—”

“I know, I know,” Aunt May’s voice sounded weird, her hands were so much bigger than Penny remembered, “you tried so hard, I’m sorry it wasn’t enough. But there won’t be a next time and it’s over now.”

It was never enough. Penny tried so hard over and over only to fail, to fall short of the finish line. It didn’t matter if it was providing for her family, protecting Peter— nothing. It was too much, too overwhelming, every time she paid a bill there was another overdue, she could work every day of her life and never catch up to her debt, Peter was so sad every time she couldn’t make it to a competition or science fair but she couldn’t take time off, not when his school cost so much…

“Oh Penny,” the voice was so far away and she found it hard to listen, her brain reorganizing the words, “why did you let this happen? Why didn’t you do better? Why don’t you ever get it right?”

It didn’t matter that the words were actually meant to be comforting, Bucky and Steve having come running out of the shower upon hearing her vomit. “Its okay baby doll, I’m sorry we let this happen to you. We should have done better, I swear we’ll get it right.”

And we are now entering month number like 10 of the latest false flag in our plane.

It is month maybe seven that I have been spending most of my days at home, working from home. Being in my room, most of the time, at the desk that I have in my room from Ikea, stand up electric desk, very big, can do a ton of things. So big pretty much it is me and my bed in this room and in this house. And that it’s been happening for most of this year. Yes, a lot of time at home and a lot of time with no contact beyond my roommates and family. That’s it.

The time that has elapsed was needing in my recovery from the deep depression that engulfed me not long ago, and that still lingers on the sides and at the chore. It was after all a very tough challenge moving to a new city, already with depression, unable to concentrate, not knowing anyone, no job and very little money. Right at the beginning of Summer and by the end of the year was closed to being homeless, not have a penny in my pocket. A tough moment to say the least.

Two and a half years later, the same happened. Again. Ran out of money. Completely and utterly. Try to look back at my thinking back in those days, there was a feeling of defeatism in my character. One day at the grocery store, bought some groceries counting the little money I still had, and saying to myself this was the last groceries in who knows how long, didn’t have money to buy more and no income to speak of. Even leaving the house in the car was stressful, imagine getting a flat tire and not having money to change it.

And speaking of. It was right at that time, the rear break broke off and had to drive like that for several days. Until during an hourly job I found doing political canvassing, one of the guys I was driving to the territory was a mechanic. He changed the broken part, bought him a burrito and gave him $20 and we both were happy as hell. Never answered his phone again.

So we have entered a time where these criminal monsters are not going to let go, more strife and more violence, ever more violence towards the people. Create chaos and let it go wild, and of course use their own violence to incite yet even more.

Humanity is in a difficult position now, specially because these monster have convinced a number of people that they are powerless, that this is happening and there is nothing they can do. This is a very pervasive programing.

But just by loving, and not talking about the criminal monster, not following them day in and day out, just don’t be part of it. Don’t buy their food, drink their water, watch their evil programing, and most important of all work the land and learn the land. Those who can grow food will be in a stronger position in the upcoming years.

I fee like Gregory Samsa, who wakes up as a bug one day, a fucking BUG! and people realize he is a bug but they still treat him like if it was all good. And he himself, if I recall well, was more worried about missing work than addressing the fact that he had woken up as a BUG.

I walk out on the street and see monkeys wearing diapers on their faces. Even driving in their cars, windows up, masks on the face. They go to the gym and for crying out loud, wear a mask. But what is wrong with people, don’t you see what is obvious that this is a fucking nonsense with the only aim of controlling you and making you worry about all this nonsense fucking shit instead of spending time with the family, cooking something, chatting, learning, but no. People talk about what the MK-Ultra device in their homes and hands tell them to say and feel about.

Wonder I, my friends. What was the vaccine that was not applied to my precious body that allowed me to see the bullshit from the very beginning for what it is, a fucking false flag event meant on the Depopulation of our plane.

And there are conversations and shit about getting everybody injected with only god knows what, and if it’s not the one they are currently rushing or pretending to be rushing, then it will be another that it’s been around for a while. And I wonder how many millions of gallons of pharmaceutical drugs will be injected in the asleep portion of the population.

After all, the zombie movies have a Predictive Programing component, at some point people will act like zombies: for some it will be those who don’t wear a diaper on their face, and hence, load aim and shot the zombies.

But you see, turn off the TV, grow food, make connections with your small geographical community and you will be good to go.

Oh, and don’t forget to dig a well.

There Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked

Episode 11:

*Since Dae Young and Shi Jin know who's the confirmed case, Dae Young has a moment with Myung Ju. Dae Young was put in quarantine by himself, while Myung Ju did the same.*

Yoo Ji woke up, she hadn’t had a good night's sleep for so long, she forgot how it felt. Everything that happened a few hours ago came rushing into her brain. She groaned and tried to sit up. Gwang Nam who just came into the room saw her trying to sit up and rushed to help her.

“Slow down,” he told her,

“But Mo Yeon and Myung Ju-” she stopped when she saw Mo Yeon come into her room.

“I am fine, Myung Ju is quarantined with Manager Jin to check on his recovery,” she informed her.

“She has it?” Yoo Ji asked, her voice was hoarse.

“She’ll be fine, she has a good immune system” Mo Yeon assured while looking at her vitals.

“Have you been taking your medicine?” Yoo Ji avoided her eyes, she didn't take it anymore.

“Why are you here? You need to go take care of Myung Ju. I am fine,” Yoo Ji told her.

“I can't do anything at this point, but hope for the best” Mo Yeon replied looking at Yoo Ji with a hard stare.

“What about Dae Y-” Yoo Ji’s question was caught off by Mo Yeon.

“Can you stop worrying about other people and start taking care of yourself? You can't keep on fainting everywhere like this!” Mo Yeon scolded her.

“I was getting better, so I stopped taking them” Yoo Ji stated, she understood that Mo Yeon was concerned, and was under the pressure right now.

“Are you having nightmares still?” Gwang Nam broke the silence they were in. Yoo Ji found Mo Yeon’s eyes. Mo Yeon told him, she realized. Yoo Ji sighed, this was something personal.

“Yes, but how do you know about that” Yoo Ji ended up saying instead of yelling in anger. She released a breath to calm her heartbeat down. It didn't really help that she was hooked up to a monitor that was beating crazily next to her.

“Actually never mind, Mo Yeon told you but that doesn't mean you had any right to dig into my past” she calmly said, even if she didn't feel calm.

“But I understand, but I can't deal with this right now” Yoo Ji finished, taking out the IV and trying to leave the room.

“Look, I am sorry, I know I overstepped a line, but I was concerned and I didn't know what else to do.” Gwang Nam’s exasperated voice told her from behind. He held onto one of her hands.

“I just need to be alone right now.” Yoo Ji insisted softly. She went back to her room. She took a deep breath and let it out. Yoo Ji went to change and take a shower since she was still in her clothes and they were sticky with her sweat. When she’s done with her shower, she goes to the common room to get something to eat.

Mo Yeon had gathered the kids to give them their medicines and vaccinations, Fatima was there to translate what she said. A few minutes later, the lights give out and they are covered in darkness. Yoo Ji’s eyes found Mo Yeon’s in the darkness and she dropped what she had in her hands and went running to the ICU. Manager Jin was hooked up to a respiratory machine and if the electricity went out he’ll suffocate. Mo Yeon soon remembered and went to check too.

Yoo Ji arrived to find Woo Geun standing by the door holding a flashlight, looking in. Yoo Ji peered inside and found Chi Hoon on top of Manager Jin, holding him still while he was having a seizure.

“I am coming in,” Yoo Ji told Woo Geun, who held onto her arm.

“They told me not to, we need to fix the electricity first” he informed her. She relaxed and nodded. Mo Yeon arrived and started putting on the protective gear and went inside immediately. Yoo Ji’s eyes wandered inside, Chi Hoon was performing CPR.

“The fuse went out we need to reignite it,” Woo Geun told Yoo Ji who was trying to not focus on the yelling inside of the room.

“Have you tried to turn off the main power and turn it on again?” Yoo Ji asked.

“Yes, it didn't do anything” he responded. Yoo Ji took a look at the panel and found that some wires were not fully connected which is what caused the fuse to be blown.

“Do you have gloves?” Yoo Ji asked. He nodded and handed her some heavy-duty gloves. She put them on and grabbed the blue wire and tightened its connection with the yellow wire. She looked at the panel one more time and flipped the switch off and then on. The light was back up.

After the patient was stable, Mo Yeon started doing the tests on Chi Hoon and getting a sample of his blood, they would have to send it to the U.S. military for testing. Yoo Ji got up from the floor and took off the gloves.

“Where did you learn to fix lights?” Woo Geun asked curiously.

“I read powerhouse manuals in my spare time” she sarcastically said.

“If the off/on thing doesn't work, usually that means that something is loose,” she told him as she threw the gloves back to him and walked out.

She was still hungry but it seems like every time she is going to get food something happens. Some of the doctors set up their work in the common room and were vaccinating people. Yoo Ji went by the fridge to pick up her bread. When a commotion happened, and she found multiple men coming in, and behind them Agus. he smiled cynically at her when he noticed her. Fatima gasped and started running when Mo Yeon came and stood in between them. Woo Geun was right behind the doctor and started murmuring into his radio.

“Long time no see, Mun” Agus addressed Yoo Ji.

“I would say it’s a pleasure but I’d be lying” Yoo Ji gritted out.

His eyes flickered to Fatima for a split second and he clenched his jaw and his hand felt his stomach. Yoo Ji tilted her head, that’s where Fatima shot him. The ghost of the bullet will always be there.

Agus started moving forward closer to Mo Yeon and Fatima, when Yoo Ji finally noticed Gwang Nam behind him, looking uneasy. He made eye contact with Yoo Ji and warned her to not make any rash decisions. His eyes lowered to one of the men and Yoo Ji’s eyes followed; they were armed.

Shi Jin and Dae Young burst through the door and approached the scene. Shi Jin stood between Agus and Mo Yeon.

“It’s good to see familiar faces,” Agus started, “Former comrade, my lifesaver, and my little red rose” he addressed Shi Jin, Mo Yeon, and Fatima.

“Do you think he's come to be tested for the M3 virus?” Mo Yeon asked Shi Jin in Korean.

“Virus? We already tested negative. Apparently the U.S. military loves me more than when I was the Delta Force Captain,” David Agus responded to what he thought the doctor asked, he was right but that didn't make him less of an asshole.

“Watch your mouth” Shi Jin growled out. Agus put up his hands and shook his head.

“Okay, we can catch up next time, I am here to visit my Korean friend; Mr. Jin” Agus took a seat and relaxed.

“Your friends aren’t welcome here, so...get lost” Shi Jin told him. Yoo Ji wanted to applaud, but instead, she mentally scoffed, she didn't think Agus and his men would leave without what they came here for.

“Well, I can catch up with him another time, but I heard my stuff is here,” Agus said with casualness, Yoo Ji didn't understand if it was from stupidity or ego. Yoo Ji raised her eyebrows, Agus wasn't the type to give up easily, what the hell is he planning.

“Can I see that instead?” Agus grinned.

“I will give you 10 seconds to get out of my face” Shi Jin paused.

“10, 9-” Agus shook his head and put his hand in his pocket, immediately the Alpha team pulled out their weapons and aimed at Agus and his men. Gwang Nam moved and got closer to Agus. his eyes never flickering anywhere else but on his target. Yoo Ji watched him. The doctors who were still vaccinating halted and stared as the situation quickly rose. This isn’t the first time Alpha team has raised their arms in the face of threat.

Agus slowly pulled out his hand from his coat, revealing two glass bottles.

“You son of a bitch!” Yoo Ji exclaimed. He looked back at her.

“Ah, so you know what this is” he responded, ignoring her insult, he clicked the glasses together. Mo Yeon squinted and realized what the bottles were.

“It's an immunoglobulin.”

“This is for you, I couldn't come empty-handed. Please bring him back, I have a lot to say to him” he looked at Mo Yeon.

He looked around, “looks like everyone is busy, so we shall go,” he smirked and started backing up and moving towards the exit. Gwang Nam and Cheol Ho walked backward still their weapons raised and escorted them out.

“He seems to have known about the US. Military plans” Dae Young stated.

“As well as our strategy” Shi Jin added, Shi Jin sighed and turned to look at Dae Young with an uneasy look.

“Strengthen the security around the barracks” Shi Jin instructed him.

Nurse Ha and Mo Yeon had a conversation but it was too quiet for Yoo Ji to hear, her eyes wandered to Gwang Nam and found him already staring at her. She stared right back. She wasn't pissed off, but she was mad that he didn't respect her privacy. But then again it's not like she doesn't try to dig up his information too. Yoo Ji mentally groaned and broke eye contact, she was being a hypocrite, but she didn't want his pity. She left the scene and went somewhere else to eat her sandwich in peace.

A few hours later she saw the local police arrive on base, she walked closer before pulling one of the soldiers,

“Where is captain Yoo?” she asked.

“Alpha team went to retrieve the medicine,” he responded.

Yoo Ji looked at the car again and found the leader of the gang that they beat up sitting there, smiling. The police work for whoever pays the most. Yoo Ji scowled and started making her way to the car.

They were dragging Fatima to the car when Mo Yeon came out and was talking them out of taking the girl. The gang leader came out of the car and whispered to the policeman. Then she watched as both Mo Yeon and Fatima got in the car. Yoo Ji shook her head and looked for one of the cars on base to follow them. She quickly got in a jeep and sped behind them, making sure to stay a distance behind them to not alert the police. She thanked god it wasn't one of the marked military cars and was a solid green. She quickly sent a text to Cheol Ho telling him that she’s following the car that took Mo Yeon. She hoped he would see it soon.

-The next morning-

*Shi Jin and Dae Young stayed with Myung Ju the whole night making sure she was okay after the medicine was administered. Shi Jin noticed that Mo Yeon was gone and went to ask Min Ji about it when she told him that Mo Yeon left with the police because they wanted to arrest Fatima.*

Right at that moment, Shi Jin’s radio went off with Cheol Ho’s panicked voice.

“Doctor Kang Mo Yeon has been taken by the police, and Mun Yoo Ji is tailing them, she sent me a text message last night but I didn't see it until now”

Shi Jin went to grab one of the cars, when Gwang Nam came out, looking panicked.

“One of the cars is gone, Yoo Ji has it but she’s not armed,” he told his Captain.

“I’ll find them, don’t worry” Shi Jin nodded assuringly to Gwang Nam.

Shi Jin was gone for four hours, when he came back he looked extremely angry, and unstable. He radioed Dae Young to Check on Myung Ju.

“I think the medicine is working” Dae Young responded.

“That’s a relief”

“Were you able to find Yoo Ji?” Dae Young asked him to be briefed on the situation. He didn't know whether to laugh or yell at her actions.

“No,” Shi Jin told him, looking away. Yoo Ji was caught and was probably hidden somewhere in Agus’s safe house, along with Mo Yeon. he couldn't tell anyone.

“I’ll be going out for a bit, I won't be able to come to see you before I go, though,” Shi Jin told Dae Young

“Are you going somewhere- Myung Ju is waking up, I’ll call you back as soon as I can” Dae Young’s hurried voice called out but Shi Jin was already dressed and ready to go. He was cladded in all black.

-A few hours earlier-

“I can't believe I got caught, this is ridiculous” Yoo Ji murmured as she struggled against the ropes. She just woke up after being knocked out for the night. She looked around and saw that it was a bare room, nothing in it except its bare walls. She had forgotten her radio and they took her phone, she scowled herself for not bringing the radio she could’ve radioed the soldiers for help. Yoo Ji mentally groaned, she even knows her location goddamn it! The doors clicked open and it revealed Agus and the guy that faked being in the UN.

“Hello, Mun Yoo Ji” Agus said to her as he crouched and tilted her head towards him when she refused to look at him.

“You know, this is the third time I’ve been kidnapped, it’s getting old,” she said with a sarcastic tone before glaring at him.

“It wouldn’t happen so much if you minded your own business,” Agus said with a fake frown on his face as he gripped her chin harder.

“I can’t help it, my sense of heroism won’t let me sleep” Yoo Ji retorted back.

“Just like your sense of right and wrong is skewed the wrong direction” she snapped at him, taking him by surprise when she buttheaded him in the head. He winced and glared at her, she smirked back.

“You bitch!” he hissed back, he backhanded her. Yoo Ji spits out the blood collecting in her mouth.

“This is where you’re wrong, no one knows you’re here, no one will come to save you this time” he stated with a sadistic smile.

“This is where the fun begins” he patted her redding cheek. He signaled the brown-haired boy to tape her mouth shut.

“You should tell me your name, I can't keep on calling Fake U.N. guy all the time” Yoo Ji started before he taped her mouth shut and glaring at her. She rolled her eyes at him, he won’t tell her his name then.

They left her room and locked the door. She started working on the knots, they were tighter than she remembers, but that just meant she had to take longer to unravel them. Once she got the knots off, she removed the tape on her mouth and started working on her feet.

“Huh, they changed the guy that ties up their hostages, they’re a lot sturdier” she murmured to herself. She picked the lock with a bobby pin that she had in her pocket. She doesn’t wear bobby pins but she knows how useful they can be in situations like this. She watched the shadows from under the door and made sure she didn't hear anyone outside her door, before opening the door. She checked the hallway. It was empty.

She crept down the hallway trying to find the room they had Mo Yeon or Fatima in. Instead, she stumbled upon a room full of children, she motioned for them to be quiet. She worked on their knots.

“Don’t move or make noises, I will come back for you when I find my friends, okay?” she told them in Arabic, making sure they understood. There was a camera inside the room. She got out one more time but forgot about checking so she was seen by a guard, she was able to disarm him quickly without making too much noise, she didn't knock him out but grabbed his neck.

“Where is Agus keeping the Doctor and Fatima?” she asked harshly, squeezing his neck, making his choke.

“Not here. Not here, they went to meet the Captain” he choked out when she saw how reluctant he was about giving information. She smiled and punched him, knocking him out completely. She grabbed one of the ropes the kids were tied in and tied him up.

“Watch him, make sure he doesn’t escape,” she told the kids and winked at them. She got out again, this time being more careful. She was able to get a good look around when she stumbled upon a room that seemed like the main room that the men hung out in. There were at least 6 there at the moment. She hid her body behind the wall and listened in. they were talking about what they were going to do with the money they get from trafficking the children.

Suddenly she was grabbed from the back and thrown onto the floor, in front of all six men, now seven.

“Oh hey guys, how y’all doing?” she chuckled as she got up. They didn't respond, they just charged without a second thought. She dropped into a crouch and stuck out her leg and tripped two men, then stood up and avoided a punch to her nose.

“Don’t touch the face, it’s the moneymaker, I still need to be able to get married guys” she joked as she grabbed someone’s fist and brought it down to the groundbreaking of his knuckles.

She turned around and quickly ducked to avoid smashing her nose. But she wasn’t able to avoid a punch to the gut. She groaned in pain and quickly elbowed the attacker in the head so he’d knock out. She heaved as the pain slowly spread in her abdomen. Another fist flew towards her and she couldn't avoid it, slowly she gave up trying to fight them and instead she focused on avoiding their attacks.

She couldn't overpower seven grown men and was thrown into her holding cell with knots tights there before. She sighed in pain as her body ached from the fight. She smiled though. While they were distracted she was able to hide a pocket knife in her pants while she was fighting them. She maneuvered to grab it from her back pocket, but pain seared from her shoulder.

“Okay, a break first then I’ll try again” she bit her lip and slumped against the wall. Her erratic breathing was all she could hear. Her mind cleared from her racing thoughts, her breathing started to calm down. She made up her mind, once she hears Agus come back she will get out of the ropes and find Mo Yeon. it would be more effective if she tried to escape and found Mo Yeon immediately instead of wandering around.

Yoo Ji opened her eyes again, groaning, she heard the sound of a car pulling in, he’s back. She heard a bunch of footsteps thundering. The henchmen are going to meet their leader. She winced while moving her shoulder, the pain was there but it wasn’t too bad. She got out the pocket knife and started cutting the rope. She’ll have better luck this time.

Bear Witness Chap 5

Here we are, the turn of the story...

TW: Angst, lots of it, fear

Word count: 1,878

~~~~~~~~

"Hunnigan? Why are you calling me?" Chris' voice was confused to say the least, having just got home from his last mission, he was slumped in the armchair in his living room, freshly showered.

"Alan has gotten (y/n), Chris. I called Leon to tell him the information you have collected and they got her when his back was turned. He's still at their condo-" Chris was already standing up to gather the things he would need. "Chris, please listen...Leon has feelings for her." Hunnigan explained and Chris stopped what he was doing, eyebrows knitted.

"You sure about that?" Hunnigan sighed, her eyes averted from his momentarily.

"Nearly positive." Chris nodded to himself. "I'll send you the address to where Leon is."

"You mean if he hasn't already went after her himself?" He mumbled while disconnecting their call, going back to gathering his guns and ammo he needed, before hurrying to his room to put on his gear.

~~~~~~

"Leon! You better still be here." Chris warned as he banged on the door loudly with a closed fist. He growled, stepping back, fully ready to kick the door in, when the latch clicked and the door opened to reveal Leon; his face was stern, a mix of sadness, fear and anger, and in his hand, clutched to his chest was a jacket. Chris gave him a once over, Hunnigan may just be right in her assumptions of how close Leon has gotten to (y/n), considering he isn't supposed to.

"It's about time you showed up! She's running out of time!" Leon snarled, already fully prepared to leave, shoving passed Chris to make his way to the elevator. "If she's still got the monitor on, we can track her with my GPS." He rambled, trying to keep his mind as occupied as he could so he wouldn't begin imagining what Alan was doing to you.

Chris stood beside Leon in the elevator, periodically looking at him, watching how his hands kept wringing on your jacket over and over, bringing it up to his face absently, all whole having determination written all over his face and the thought of Leon loving you passed through his mind. If Leon was in fact in love with you, it could be good for him. Finally having someone to be there for him and help him through what he goes through. If that is the case, Chris is now also fully determined to find you and get you back safely. He squared his shoulders, getting himself ready for whatever they were going to find.

Chris made a few calls to the BSAA to have backup meet them at the address where the steady blinking light says you are. Feeling that Alan has a crew waiting, they needed all the back up they could get. The virus he was trying to perfect, may just in fact be perfected now. The samples they had before, something seemed missing, and who knows if he found what he was looking for while he was MIA.

"Leon, look at me." Chris finally commanded, and when Leon growled but finally looked at him he continued. "You need to stay calm, ok? We need to be as focused as we can."

"You think I don't know that?" Leon growled aggressively, deep down, Leon felt extremely guilty of what happened. Of all the times you'd escaped him, you came back to him, unharmed, and the one time he took you outside for fun is when you got kidnapped. He had been there and couldn't stop what had happened. "This is my fault."

"What? No, it's not, Leon. It's bastards like Reicherman, trying to take out humanity." Leon slammed his fist on the dashboard of Chris' SUV.

"I should have never taken her outside! I should have kept her inside where it was safe. I should have never turned my back...I just wanted to help her feel normal again." Chris fell silent beside Leon, processing everything. They had to get you back unharmed.

~~~~

"Nice to see you again, my dear." Alan said in mock happiness, a big sarcastic smile was on his face, the unveiled insanity bright in his beady eyes as he stood over you on the table where you were strapped down and wrestling to get free in vain. You grunted, yanking and jerking to the point of pain in your joints.

"Fuck you, old man." You spat out in defiance, still jerking against your restraints. He laughed, shaking his head, placing his boney gloved hand on his forehead at your failed attempts to get to him. He knew you wanted to snap his neck, he could see all the rage burning through you, and he looked back down at you with fake sympathy.

"Please, keep that fire burning, it will cause the virus to spread through you faster." You freeze, the words sinking in and fear chills you to your bones, shaking your head, the rage leaving to be replaced by abject terror. This man has poked and prodded you with needles too many times, getting your blood to help with whatever virus he was creating. Seeing how your blood reacted to different aspects of it. Figuring out what to tweak or add to his diabolical concoction.

"Please no...don't inject me anymore, I can't take it." He laughed again at your begging, walking away from you to pick up a syringe, his assistant eyeing him warily, before looking at another unassuming syringe close by.

"Don't you want to be Patient Zero of the Reaper Virus? Imagine how famous you'll become. It is a mixture of 9 viruses, 14 bacteria and 5 parasites, the main one called the jewel wasp, and it's all thanks to your blood." He paused, looking down at you, before leaning down to you slightly. "Do you know about the jewel wasp, (y/n)?" You didn't give him the pleasure of an answer, instead you just stared at the ceiling. "They inject a chemical in cockroaches brains that cause them to become submissive and zombie like. By itself, it causes no real harm to humans, after all, the wasps aren't concerned with us. But mix it with things like say, rabies, measles, Ebola...it becomes a problem." He held up his hand with the syringe, turning it this way and that, full of pride in his work. "Behold the Reaper Virus." He presented with a wave of his free hand towards the virus. "Everyone in America already has this lying dominant inside them. Thanks to all the people I have secretly working for me in water purifying plants. All it needs is the trigger. You, (y/n). Once you start showing the symptoms, it will be too late for everyone. It will spread like wildfire. Sure, like with all infectious diseases, some maybe immune. But, the bites of others will cause the infection to take hold anyway."

Tears welled in your eyes, flowing like a steady stream from the corners. You were praying that Leon was going to come bursting through the door at any moment to save you.

"You're going to die." You promised, false bravado in your tone, your entire body trembling with fear and anxiety. "Leon will come here and kill you." Alan raised an eyebrow at your words, humor tugging at the corners of his lips and after he didn't respond to you, your turned your face to him, confused.

"Foolish girl. I left that tracker on you on purpose. I want him to show up. I want him to see what you've become." Your forehead knitted in confusion, why would he want Leon to show up when he knows it will get Alan killed? "You really don't think I'm just making another slow, easy-to-kill virus, do you?" He then reached into the pocket of his lab coat and pulled out a small vile of a blood red powdery substance. "This, my dear (y/n), is an incomplete version of the vaccine. Once you change, if you come into contact with this, you'll regain some of your motor functions. You'll remember how to use weapons, how to avoid being struck, even how to navigate subterfuge. All while still being one of the undead." Your eyes widened in shock over this news.

"They'll be emotionless killers." You mumbled. "Unable to feel pain, or grief, just wanting to kill." Alan grinned, big and insane and he nodded happily that you get it, pointing at you to emphasize his next statement.

"And without the inhibitions of understanding strength and when to hold back! You'll be able to kill with one punch to the proper place!" You squeezed your eyes closed, this bastard had to be stopped.

~~~~~~

Chris and Leon burst through the front doors of the laboratory that you were being held at, guns trained and ready, only to find the place completely vacant. They both relaxed slightly, as the other members of the BSAA followed in behind them, doing a more thorough sweep of the lobby and doors leading elsewhere.

"Something isn't right. This seems too easy." Leon stated, absently, digging out his phone and pulling up the GPS again, ticking his chin towards the stairwell to his right, not letting the fact that this is an obvious trap deter him, not wanting to waste another moment of worrying about it. He just wanted to find you.

"Break up into teams. I want to make sure this place is absent of any kind of surprises. You four, come with us!" They all nodded, breaking away in different directions, Chris and his team following closely behind Leon as he bounded down the stairs two at a time.

"This place is a God damned maze." Leon grumbled under his breath as he exited the stairwell into the white pristine hallway that broke away in several places. His heart was racing from both adrenaline and fear as he looked at his phone, and turning his head at every junction, his gun in his other hand. He had reluctantly left your coat back in Chris' vehicle and he absolutely despised that. He wanted it here, one part of you he still had, with him. "She's down this hallway!" He shouted, taking off like a flash.

~~~~

Loud banging sounded down the hallway of the floor where you were being held, and a sadistic smile spread across Alan's rat like face.

"Ahh, seems your calvary has arrived!" He exclaimed, clapping his hands, letting his full insanity show. The noises were growing louder, coming closer to you, as Alan made his way to you with the syringe. Fear gripped your heart like a vice as you continued your vain attempts to get free. "Are you ready to put on your show my dear? Your audience is almost here."

"Cover the hallways! We are going in!" You heard a familiar voice calling, what was his name? Chris? The man who saved you from Alan the first time.

It all seemed to slow down, time, noise, existence as the needle descended to you and into the vein at your elbow. The doors burst open just in time for Leon to see you getting injected with the virus. The last thing you heard before being dragged into darkness was Leon's enraged scream.

Tightrope

This happened as a result of this post and also me listening to excessive amounts of Vienna Teng. This is to all my peeps in the Stricklake pit.

There’ a reason not to want this,

But I forgot.

Changelings, in general, walk a very fine line between hubris and pride.

Pride is looking up into the eyes of the oppressor, a mountainous murderous creature of immense strength that slayed your brothers and sisters without a thought, and demand respect because you deserved it. Looking with the same sentiment down into the eyes of a child, capable, idealistic child that has done miraculous things while you only seemed to do less than… worthy ones in return?

Well, that is hubris. Maybe even with a hint of hypocrisy.

But then again, changelings walk a fine line between a number of things. Anger, for one, could be honed into a weapon, a screaming blade of sharp wrath that cuts from the place where one’s soul had to be, but, it could also can be a biggest misstep, the great downfall of a careful and calculating mind. It takes a lifetime to use with care and deliberation, and for all his misgivings (few), Walter thought he reached this level of self-control required to do so.

Except for as of late.

Honestly, Atlas is the one to blame. Not solemly, but he definitely is.

Anger Roth’s eyes shine deeply from the darkness of the car, their light unchanging even as the fine mockery of his voice is in the way reminiscent of the sweet whisper the the bottom of the gramophone.

«Do you know how to use it?»

The two figurines in Walter’s hand, each the size of walnut, weight more than two pieces of living stone Strickler would expect to weight. They are, in their basic nature, rock, and a thought crosses his mind that there is no way one can put something like this is a person’s cup inconspicuously, except it is followed, not surprisingly, with a vision, the wandering glimmer in Barbara’s eyes, full of such wonder of the world and stories and life she takes in, openly and honestly.

Well, she might not. Cups slip between her fingers, and pies burn in an inferno, and laughs spills out at the jokes that were not even that funny to begin with, yet she laughs anyway. Sometimes Barbara doesn’t notice the most obvious of things -

a trollhunting son, an otherworldly creature in the basement, a fight in the living room, a changeling invader in her love life

-so what’s a rock in a cup of tea?

Nothing, really. Won’t change a thing. She won’t even notice.

Well, maybe it will change some things, he finally admits. She will become a part of the third rule.

It is not a… pleasant thought.

That is the change.

She talks, tiredly, melodically, about JIm and her aggravated concern, and it’s something he is used to, something he knows - they talked about Atlas before, on multiple occasions, and on these multiple occasions he could have just told her, he could have just let it slip that maybe she should look a little bit closer, be a little bit more carefully, that the boy is not a just her boy, but that would have been a part of a very big secret, a secret that was not his to tell, or maybe it was, you have to know what secrets to keep and what secrets to tell and to whom, yet she is so very easy to talk to - but the stones in his hands weight a lot more than they should. His words seem almost rehearsed, and almost to himself, yet she is grateful, always so grateful for his ear and his thoughts, and him-

Barbara’s hands take his.

A lock of hair falls from her fringe over her forehead and crookedly sitting glasses.

She smiles at him-

-because Barbara always gives: time, care, laughter, space, attention, opinion, herself, unabridged, and asks for so little in return, like a moment when her phone rings -

-so when her fingers slip away, his demand to follow.

Walter asks himself, for the first time for a hundredth time why the hell that is.

And then, he finds the word he was not looking for.

The stones clank on the bottom of his pocket.

The late afternoon finds them on the sofa of the Lake household, engaged in a conversation. It’s about vaccination, and the TV softly chines in the background with some film none of them are really interested in watching anyway. The coffee in his cup tastes worse than sock coffee, and that says something about Barbara’s miraculous ability to break the mould in every way he expects her not to, how can you demolish a cup of coffee from the machine, you unbelievable woman-

-and in the middle of his purely hypothetical speech on mandatory vaccinations (not that she knows he has seen what polio can do) possibly the least romantic speech one can have, Barbara kisses him.

Her lips press against the corner of his mouth, when he looks away, amused as his own line of thought, and that very thought stops half-way in becoming a sentence. He turns his head mouth still open, mind now full of completely different thoughts, or no thoughts at all, except for that one word now booming, louder that the babbling of the TV.

Changelings live on a tightrope, life but a balancing act between two things, because their lives are made of juxtaposition in which they themselves are but a walking paradox, which can be summed up, on it’s most basic of levels to one core interior conflict of what one has to do versus what one wants to.

And some, like Otto, convince themselves that one and the other is the same.

And some, like Nomura, believe that one is the expression of the other.

And Walter

Walter lived long enough to know that one conundrum of self-identification is just enough and he doesn’t need more. So instead, for a change, he just chooses.

Walter Strickler falls off the tightrope (or maybe he was off that tightrope long before the Word kicked the earth from under his feet), and kisses Barbara in return.

It’s a long fall, so he kisses her a hundred times more.

His jacket ends down on the floor and stays there, stones still hidden inside. Walter doesn’t want to think about how this could have gone differently, and this could have felt, how the bond would have poured though their bodies and make them one in golden sensation of ghostly unity.

Barbara’s hair streams in flows of magma of the couch cushion, her short nails digging into the collar of his turtleneck, and her lips are hungry with fire and magic.

You can’t improve perfection, really.

Walter remembers about the stones again when there is a glowing sword resting against his face, and oh, yes, there was a reason why he had them in the first place.

Across the walkway, inside a brightly lit room, Barbara collects the cups of the coffee table.

And Atlas, in his anger, a treacherous thing, forgets that Walter is a world-class liar.

The tip of his finger glides along the edge, just enough for a small cut, simple very well timed.

The cup breaks and Barbara comes back into view, sucking on her index finder.

This doesn’t change a thing, except this changes everything.

Even the smartest of people make stupid decisions, even Walter himself did some extremely silly unthought of things in his life (once or twice, at least that Otto knows about), and the boy has nothing on him in terms of age and experience.

So the child does the next stupidest thing he can think of.

(Walter might have jousted him. Possibly a bit too much. Possibly, rather stupidly as well. He had… other things on his mind.)

Otto’s car speeds down the road and disappears around the corner.

Changelings walk a thin line between loyalty and betrayal. Nothing changes there. He just never though that this fine footwork would be about him.

It’s hard to admit that a child could be his only hope for getting out of this mess, but then again, Walter put himself in this situation justly on his own. The very same child still thinks that his mother’s life is dependent on keeping Walter intact. The later doesn’t rash to dessuade him.

«Mom!» scrams the boy when everything goes to hell, because that’s what happens when you cross the line. Walter forgot about that part for some reason, but that again, he did have other things on his mind.

[In a way, his fall of the tightrope has become akin to flying. So far, it’s the only thing that didn’t feel like a complete disaster.]

But the cut runs over the side of his neck and the boy shifts to his mother’s side.

«Jim, I’m fine! Walt, he-»

The pain is searing, otherwise Strickler would have actually laughed at the bafflement Altas radiated.

«You lied!» is all the boy manages to say as they make their way to Barbara’s car.

Walter wants to chuckle, but all that comes out is a grunt. The shift make the injury more painful, somehow. «You… are surprised?»

«You lied!» Walter’s arm thrown over his shoulder, the boy’s face crunches. «Why… That’s just… I believed you!»

«Then it was a good lie, Atlas. Integral, I might say, to you not killing me.»

Barbara, still as confused as she was 30 minutes ago, helps to get him into the passenger seat. «Where are we going exactly?»

The driver’s door opens, or so he thinks, everything becomes the nasty kind of hazy. Cold fingers touch his neck, and for a moment he is almost relieved.

«I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the hospital might not be an option for this. It’s… glowing.»

«We are going to the Trollmarket. We need the centre-bound part of the eastern bridge. Just… drive please?» The boy dumps himself behind and immediately pokes his head over Walter’s shoulder as the car jerks into motion. The battle rages inside the house. «Dude, but the bond thing-»

The tightrope is a perilous thing. It forces you, when you fall off it, to stick to it, because you might not have a choice.

«Do you think I would really do that to the woman I love?»

The car swerves on the road, lightly, and stays eerily silent, at least until the boy coughs loudly into his ear.

«… Alright, we don’t have time to unpack that right now. Or ever. Okay, Mom, now you have to drive into the canal.»

«I’m sorry, what?!»

And then a knife pierces the hood of the car, and Walter is half-way through loosing consciousness, especially when he shoves his leg pass the gear box and into the gas pedal.

There was a possibility of Walter ending up in a cage the moment they got into Trollmarket, yet he is still somehow surprised. Maybe because he overestimated the weight the boy has on Vendel, or maybe because somehow he thought that NotEnriques’s causal presence there has somehow warmed the populace to changelings as people. In any case, when Walter wakes up, he has an impression of a cold metal bar on his face. His neck ached with a sharp throb and he jerks himself up, using the crossing bars of the cage as leverage.

He comes face to face with Barbara. She sits on a cushion, shoulder leaning against the outer side of the cage.

«How are you feeling?»

«Like a Troll assassin stabbed me in the neck. You?»

«I’m fine,» she leans her head to the side, and examines the state of his neck with a frown. «As fine as one can be finding out there are trolls, or that my son fights trolls, or that I had a troll boyfriend who kept trying to kill my son. On a second thought, fine is not a good word to describe it. Furious? Yes, I’m furious.»

«That’s understandable.»

Walter closes his eyes. His fall of a tightrope ends in a magnificent crash.

Had.

«One thing I personally can’t understand, is why Jim is not mad at you? We talked about this for hours while you were out, and he seemed to be more concerned that Vendel was refusing to treat you than anything else.»

«Well, maybe there is something that can change the old goat’s mind,» he lifts his lead-like hand, almost like his arm is broken, maybe it is broken - and pulls three stones from his breast pocket.

Two are shaped like people. One is furiously bright blue.

«I have no idea what all of this means,» Barbara’s fingers pick up the Eye of Gunmar, or rather goes to pick up the eye, but instead gently cradle his palm. «But I know what this does. It’s swelling up. You might have a fracture.»

Her fingers are cold. They are always cold. For some reason he finds it amusing.

«Of two things happening to me, a broken arm is not going to be the one to kill me.» He even tries to mimic with his hand, but it only manages to rise up to his chest before his vision bursts in white from the intense pain that causes. «Doesn’t make it better though.»

«Did you just say,» Barbara’s face pokes through the bars, so far that she has to go to her knees. «That you are… dying?»

«That is what usually happens when an ancient assassin, the chaos incarnate, stabs you, dear. I would know, I’m an…»

Barbara’s hand lands on his forehead. It’s so pleasantly cool, he almost moans.

«…ancient assassin myself.»

«You are burning up,» she mutters. «This is ridiculous. Suffering is one thing - honey crackers, I can’t believe I just said that - but dying? Who do they think they are!»

«Trolls. And I am a changeling.»

«Honestly, right now, it’s a same thing to me. Jim is off somewhere doing who knows what, you are dying and I’m here doing nothing!»

She spots the Eye again, and picks it up off his palm.

«What is this?»

«The eye of Gunmar.»

«The Eye of Gum- Doesn’t matter. They want it?»

«Your son certainly will.»

«Great!» She stands up, stretching. Her hand flies up to fix her glasses, and the look in her eyes reminds him again why he let the Word slip back there in the car. «I’ll be right back.»

«Where are you going?»

«I’m still mad about the whole «killing each other» thing you and Jim have been up to. Doesn’t mean you will die on my watch. Also, don’t do it while I’m arguing with centuries-old creatures for your life.»

She pauses, her back straight and her shoulders tense. «Please.»

«I’ll make my best effort, dear.»

A life of changeling is a constant dance on the edge of a knife between two things. Sometimes it’s life and death, sometimes it’s having faith and taking matters into your own hands, sometimes it’s trust, just trust, a thin swinging line over the abyss of solitude loneliness.

Everyone sees the rope-walker, a solitary acrobat above the crowd.

Nobody knows how many times the acrobat has fallen, and from what height, before he could walk like that. Nobody knows what waits for him on the other end of that line.

Walter Strickler will pick himself up and walk the tightrope again. Unless he dies. He probably won’t. When Barbara decided on something, she will do her best to get there. Especially when she is mad.

And he did promise her. He intended to keep that promise.

That was a change.

P.S.

«You… are a really good teacher.» She finally says, after everything, after spending hours supervising Vendel work and getting Walter’s arm together, but specifically after watching him teach Jim how to cut Angor’s eye so it would fit into the Amulet.

«This is perhaps one good thing I’m good at,» he replies, and fixes his sling.

«What now.» And that is not a question, because when a question becomes so big and so encompassing, it stops being one.

«Now I’m going to leave.»

Walter is not looking at her, but he knows her whole body tenses. Her gulp is too loud.

«Where?»

«Somewhere safe. Trollmarket is not a place for me, never was. Janus Order left me to die. And…»

He wants to touch her hand, cold fingers, slender palm, but it feels… intruding on his part.

«…I suspect, I’m not particularly welcome in your house anymore.»

He has to say it now, he does. Out loud.

«Barbara. This has been a very long war. It’s older than me, bigger than me. I never wished for Atlas to be a part of it, or for us to end up on different sides. It’s a little bit more complicated now, as if it could, but my ambition managed to do it-»

«Yet Jim trusts you.» He voice sounds dry, and slightly choked.

«He is a person of… infectious convictions. And I am just one man. Changelling-Man.»

«What does that even mean?» she chuckles, and her head shaking. She finally looks at him. Her eyes are wide, and slightly misty.

He should not have allowed their eyes to meet.

«I should have never come into your life,» he says. «I knew it would only end up badly, but I selfishly persisted, and I am sorry. Selfishness makes us, people like me. You made everything better. And I wanted that better so very much.»

Barbara bites her lip.

Her head turns back. A lock of hair fall over her face.

So that’s that. One last thing perhaps, before he goes.

«I’m truly sorry,» he looks at the Heartstone as well. It glows, in a way, like a setting sun. «For never being a man you deserved.»

And now, he makes his leave.

«Someone needs to explain to me, extensively, what the hell is going on.»

«Barbara?»

«Like that Amulet, did Merlin, The Merlin really make it? What the heck are changelings? Are they trolls? Not trolls? What is this war? How long has it been going on? Why does this Gummar-»

«-Gunmar.»

«Whatever his name is, why does he hate everyone? And what do you have to do with it? Also, you know that Claire does magic? When did this happen? Toby, sweet round Toby from the house across has a huge flying hammer, does his grandmother know? Do any of our kid’s parents know what is happening? It’s a war and people die in wars, Walter. What if something happens to them? Will we ever find out?»

«Barbara.»

«Walter.»

Her whole body twists, silently, towards him.

Barbara’s eyes are blue and full of tempests. Her hand fists into his jacket.

«If you think about going anywhere before explaining all of this to me, before at least making an attempt to make this right-»

«That will be a…» It is always so easy to talk to her. Except when is isn’t. Honesty is a plunge. «Very long tale. Centuries. Millenia, even. As your son says, that’s a lot to unpack.»

«Then I’m postponing your guilt trip indefinitely. How long would it take to tell a story that takes millennia?»

«A whole life probably.» She lets go. He wants to, urgently, to wrap his arms around her.

«Good. Then first you start by helping my son to save this place, while I go and do some work I get payed for so that there is at least a chance for me to fix my car. And then you come to me, and start from the very beginning. Maybe,» and she smirks and something in it is from Barbara who found him funny and charming, Barbara who kissed him on a couch one quiet evening. «We can find out if that mythical man I deserve is somewhere in there.»

The binding stones are heavy and warm in the pocket of his coat.

«As you wish,» and adds almost too soft to be heard. «My dear.»

Global economy tumbling at a distressing rate

Global economy tumbling at a distressing rate

By Joanne Mwangi-Yelbert

As news of the global spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged, global financial markets reacted pessimistically and behaved in ways not seen since the 2008 financial crisis, the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression of 1929.

A full understanding of the potential economic and social impact of the virus which leads to this disease remains difficult to predict.

This is because spread of a disease on this scale both geographically and exponentially is unprecedented in the modern world.

Since the first reported case in Wuhan China, to the disruption of our economic and social lives, we have found ourselves in a wrangle and race against the clock, in finding a remedy for both the virus and the economy.

In Kenya, the Nairobi Stock Exchange saw foreign investors pull over Ksh 11 billion leading to a sharp decline in value of multi-national companies like EABL and Safaricom.

The 1918 Spanish flu can be described as the last truly global pandemic with its potency exacerbated in an era before the existence of international public health bodies, such as the World Health Organization. About one-third of the world’s population caught this acute respiratory tract infection.

Talking of HIV/Aids pandemic which is estimated to have shaved between 2% and 4% off GDP growth in sub-Saharan Africa.

The annual cost of ‘flu is estimated at between 0.2% to 2% of global income, totaling US570-billion. And the 2014-16 Ebola epidemic was estimated by the World Bank to have cost about 12% of the combined GDP of the three worst-hit countries; Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Severe social economic blows from the virus appear unavoidable beyond the cost of treating the infected and change of cultural practices. How might we then estimate the cost of a global disease on the local economy?

Currently we are facing a cruel case with COVID19 in a period of weeks, worse than what HIV has done in over 30 years.

With this jogging our memories, when Kenya was reporting its first few cases, the government, through the Executive, issued an order stating that every person flying into Kenya should self-isolate for 14 days.

However, a few people disregarded this order with a terribly disheartening example being the Kilifi deputy governor who in turn went on to infect the disease to a number of people.

More precautionary measures are being driven forward by the government, to stop a further spread of the illness like the recent restriction of travel into the Nairobi metropolitan areas and other counties such as Kilifi and Mombasa.

The immediate economic consequences of COVID-19 are stemming from the panic surrounding the spread of the disease.

Medical practitioners are at the forefront in the matters concerning health while business people are digging deep into their pockets to save not only an ailing world, but the economy of an ailing nation.

Global economy is plunging at an alarming rate, especially for third world countries. On 27th March, the IMF chief declared that the global economy has entered into a recession.

Due to the low business activities taking place around the world, this decision was imminent. She went ahead to claim that the current situation could become worse than the global financial crisis of 2009.

“It is now clear that we have entered a recession as bad as or worse than in 2009,” said Kristalina Georgieva, the IMF Chief.

The biggest concern, in an economic perspective, is the number of people losing their jobs, livelihoods and an increase in bankruptcies.

https://newscheckz.com/rushed-easing-lockdown-measures-devastate-italy/

In the U.S alone, more than 6.6 million people applied for unemployment benefits in the last week of March.

This is the United States of America we are talking about, a global economic giant that has towered over the rest for decades and decades. A nation that likes to call itself, “the greatest nation on earth.” What debilitation shall be visited in developing countries like our beloved nation, Kenya?

Developed countries have set aside budgets that will prevent local businesses from total collapse. The U.S legislative parties passed an economic stimulus package law that would see its citizens and local businesses benefit for self-sustenance.

President Kenyatta, on March 25, announced a stimulus package, not of the same nature as that of the U.S, but something that purportedly would help better the status of our economy.

This has seen a repeat of the 2009/2010 financial year when our president was the then finance minister and the government instituted a stimulus package.

This was in response to the 2007/2008 post-election violence and the global financial crisis where the Sh. 22 billion budget would focus on government spending.

The novel corona virus is the technical hitch that we are all trying to get around as we fight to get back to our normal lives.

If anything, the economic recession that Kenya faces becomes a lesson learnt for our government, businesses and people. A lesson that we have to alter our ‘normal’ livelihoods for the better of the world.

We can learn from the rest of the world and take pointers with us in such a manner that we need not become dependent on others should we face such a crisis in future.

https://newscheckz.com/finally-hope-covid-19-vaccine/

From countries like Japan and South Korea, we can better our environmental hygiene and quick adaptability when facing a crisis. From the far west, it becomes important to us, to have reserves for a rainy day such that we are better prepared.

My rallying call to business leaders, as you get back to the boardroom, is to consider the economic and social factors that have also affected the common man. How we can uplift, then rise, together as one.

Nerves About Ross

6/22/17

I heard I was accepted 3 weeks ago, but I’m still waiting to hear about whether I start in September 2017 or January 2018. I should know within the next 5-6 weeks - which could give me only 3-4 weeks to get ready and move down there.

Trying to get my thoughts in order, here are some of the logical and illogical things I'm scared about in regard to starting Veterinary School and in regard to moving down to St. Kitt’s. I’m sure some are normal and shared by most students, but I’m sure some are me just being a whiny 23-year old New York girl.

_____________

1) Packing. (Overpacking, underpacking, forgetting). How am I gonna fit everything in two suitcases? I plan to use vacuum seal bags and bring the two biggest overweight suitcases and a carry-on that I can. I just keep thinking about all the bulky stuff - kitchenware, bedding/pillows, shower/beach towels, steel-toed farm boots, shoes/clothes, toiletries, makeup/hair/cosmetics, electronics, books/school supplies. I went away to undergrad college about 30 minutes away and lived on an on-campus dorm/apartment for 4 years. However, I was in a big city, and could easily get anything I needed down the block. I was also so close to home, that I often went home on the weekends, and could pick up anything I needed. Also important to note that I could use Amazon, unlike St. Kitt’s. Every time I moved in/out, it took about 2-3 car loads of stuff!

2) Buying textbooks/school supplies.

I guess I should wait till I get to the island to get books? Do they have a school bookstore? Will other students be selling them? I worry if I wait till I get down there, I won’t be able to find them.

Should I order them in advnace and pack them? I worry this will take up too much space/weight in my suitcase. Should I order them in advance and have them shipped to St. Kitt’s? This would probably be super expensive, and what if they take too long to get there or go to the wrong location?

3) Buying a car (getting license/insurance/mechanics, etc.)

When should I buy a car? Second semester? I’m worried I’ll be taken advantage of and pay a lot of money for a really crappy car. I’m nervous about driving a dangerous car. I’m nervous about going through all the processes of getting a license, insurance, legally buying the car, etc. I love my US car and I’m gonna miss it and hate leaving it at home for a few years! I’m also terrified to find a reliable St. Kitts mechanic, since I’ve heard horror stories about being overcharged and taken advantage of. Mechanics who “fix” your problem, but purposely create more. Criminal mechanics who steal your car and sell parts. Agh.

4) The bus system/traveling.

Super nervous about figuring it out and navigating it while I don’t have a car yet. What if I get stranded in some bad area alone as the sun sets?!

5) Food shopping (bugs, giardia).

I've heard horror stories about food on grocery store shelves being rancid and expired. I’ve been told to check the dates on everything before buying it - even milk and cheeses. I’ve been told about boxes of pasta full of bugs and peanut butter full of worms. I’ve also heard there is giardia and mycoplasma in the tap water? Definitely scared of that. Is this true of bottled water or other drinks?

6) Bugs/centipedes/spiders/ticks.

I am terrified of bugs. The pictures I see of giant spiders, moths, and aggressive, hard-to-kill venomous centipedes in homes/beds/clothes give me absolute nightmares. I’m also scared of ticks and tick-borne diseases due to all the outdoor activity.

7) Living arrangements.

The uncertainty here is killing me. I know I'll be living in a dorm my first semester, but that’s only 3 months. And will I be living alone? With 2 roommates? 3? How do I apply? I’m nervous to be living alone - but what if I get roommates I hate?

8) Wild animals/monkeys/sea animals/hiking.

Are there dangerous wild animals? What about the monkeys? What about in the ocean? Are there aggressive fish/octopi? Do I need to worry about jellyfish? Sharp sea urchins? I know there are a lot of great hikes - but I'm an inexperienced hiker. Do I need to be scared of animals on the trails? What about tick-borne diseases? What about being robbed/attacked by humans on the trial? Or getting lost in the woods with no cell signal? I don’t even know what clothes to wear or what hiking shoes ARE! HELP.

9) Personal Safety/Being burgalarized.

I’ve heard that as long as you are generally street smart, you should be okay. But I also hear horror stories of native drug deals gone wrong right near St. Kitts students - of guns shots and murders. I’ve heard of armed car jackings, robberies, rapes. I’ve heard of break ins and burglaries. Definitely nervous about personal safety. Even if just my STUFF is stolen - I’m so nervous I'll lose expensive items, as well as personal valuable like photos and class notes. I’m investing in personal property insurance that extends to St. Kitts, as well as external hard drives to copy all my stuff. Do I need to buy a pocket knife or mace or something?

10) Cell phones.

I still don’t really understand this concept. So I can bring my iphone, and simply put it in airplane mode and turn on the wifi? That way I can use iMessage, email, Facebook messenger, WhatsApp, viver, etc. for phone calls/text - but, it will only work when there is wifi around. This way, I won’t be charged an exorbitant amount for international cell service. Should I stop paying for my phone plan?

I’m also told you’re given an old block phone from Ross for calls to other students and businesses on the island.

11) Massive debt.

Yep. Probably gonna be in $325,000 of debt and start at $40,000 a year while I have clients scream at me about how rich I am and don’t care about animals.

12) Failing out.

Definitely scared of vet school being “too hard” and failing out. I know I’m a good student and I’m planning to study my ass off - but this fear is still there.

13) Living on my own.

Like I said, I lived about 30 minutes from my house for four years in undergrad college. I could go home on the weekends, and ask my mom for help with anything. I lived on campus, so I had maintenance and security staff always present. I never lived off campus. I also lived with 1-3 roommates every year, and always shared a bedroom - so I was never completely alone.

14) Making friends and knowing no one.

Definitely a big fear - but everyone else seems to manage it, right? I guess when you’re all in a completely new country with no friends/family, everyone’s a bit more open.

15) Logistics - setting up a bank account, loans, FAFSA, paying pills, receiving monthly loan allowals, visas, passports, customs, flights, vaccines.

SO MUCH TO DO.

16) Rabies vaccine

It’s gonna hurt, isn’t it? What other vaccines do I need? Can I get them on the island? Is it cheaper?

17) My dog.

My dog is 13 with CKD. I’m terrified that when I get on that flight, it’ll be my last time seeing her. ):

18) Mail system.

Seems very complicated and expensive. I’ve heard people dig through your personal mail right in front of you. And SO. EXPENSIVE. Also gonna greatly miss amazon.

19) Disease (Zika, HIV, Lyme, parasites - vaccines)

Definitely scared of getting some crazy topical diseases that we don’t have up here in NYC. Definitely scared of parasites - is that gorgeous water there safe to swim in? Not just the oceans/seas, what about lakes? I don’t need some crazy vagina parasite swimming into me or accidentally swallowing some giardia. Or is just the drinking water dangerous?

20) The health system (getting insurance, birth control, allergy shots, hospital visits)

Trying to figure out how to continue my birth control and allergy shots while I'm down there. Apparently my birth control is $4/month over the counter down there. Apparently Ross Health Services can administer my allergy shots, but I’ll have to bring the refrigerated vials down from NYC with me, and have them changed out every 9-12 months. God knows how much that would cost to ship - might be cheaper for me to just fly up and back and get em!

Definitely nervous about the quality of health care and emergency health care down there. I heard chickens roam the hospital. Hoping to get all my general/preventative care done on my breaks back home.

21) Being okay with “island time” (everything being closed)

I’ve lived my entire life in a busy city - nothing closes, ever. Weekends, nights, holidays - there’s always somewhere I can stop and get food/drinks. Adapting to there being no drive throughs or quick delis to stop into when I had 5 minutes before class is gonna be rough. And so is realizing that by 5pm on a Friday, I’m screwed until 8am on a Monday for any business I need to go to or contact. Especially dreading this with a car breakdown.

22) Not being able to find things from the US (Certain drinks, snacks, cosmetics)

Again, this is just something I’m gonna have to adapt to - but I will miss it!

23) Deciding when I can afford to go home.

I have no idea if I should go home after every semester? Is that something people normally do? Or once a year?

From what I'm reading on flight websites: It’s gonna be about a $400-600 flight ($1000-1200 round trip), take about 5 hours (10 hours both way) and need to have 1-2 stops. With the stops, it’ll be about 7-22 hours one way (14-44 hours round trip). Ugh.

24) Not taking advantage of all the great opportunities/trips available.

I’m scared I’m gonna be so overwhelmed with classes and exams, that I’ll miss out on some of the great extracuricular activities, clubs, sports, games, hikes, etc. Or the great “vacation” trips abroad available on breaks.

25) Second semester - rent, laundry, landlords, safety, finding roommates.

Definitely scared of moving on to second semester and out of the dorms where I'll be pressured to find a safe, convenient, cheap apartment. I’ll have to move all my stuff (how? rent a car?), pay bills, pay rent, deal with a landlord, all for the first time in my life. And I’m definitely scared about picking the “Right” roommates to live with.

26) Restaurant food/native food

How is the food there? I’m unfortunately not a huge seafood fan, but not averse to trying the native food. However - is it safe? Should I make sure I ask for no ice (water parasites)? Is there a possibility of undercooked meat/seafood or spoiled/expired meat/seafood? Is there a possibility of parasites in the food?

27) Hobbies

I’ve been going to school part time and working full time the past year, and I haven’t participated in any of my hobbies in over a year. I love learning foreign languages and I love horseback riding - and I haven't had time (excuse excuse) or money to do either. I worry this will just continue on in veterinary school, as I’ll be even more stressed, and have even less time and less money. Is there even any horseback riding availability down there? I mean, I can’t really pack all my language books (guess I can do a lot online), and I definitely can’t pack all my riding stuff (boots, helmet, clothes, saddle, etc. etc.)

28) Fun one: So when do I change my blog name from mylifeasaPREvet student to mylifeasaVETstudent? I also think I’m gonna start a website blog about life on the island - no only for future nervous students (like me right now) - but for my friends and family to see via Facebook. Don’t exactly wanna share all my tumblr info on Facebook! Best website for a blog?

Monday Market Mayhem – Trumpdown, Day 22

Courtesy of Phil of Phil’s Stock World

At the end of this week, we’ll have gone a month without a Government. (And there are no signs of improvement as Trump Rejects Proposal to Temporarily Reopen the Government.)

That’s kind of dangerous as people may begin to realize they don’t need a Government. Well, rich people don’t need a Government – poor people are screwed… Federal workers are screwed as they didn’t get paychecks on Friday, despite 420,000 of them being considered “essential” and working without pay. When you go to work you spend money on gas, tolls, lunch, day care – it’s not like the Government is just asking people to work for free – they are essentially forcing people to dig into their own pockets to support Trump’s madness.

Not only that but missing bill payments due to not getting paid will impact the Federal Workers’ credit ratings – damaging them and their families for years to come. #TrumpDontCare

Meanwhile, nothing is getting done and that’s slowing US commerce down and we’re talking a month – that’s almost 10% of the year and we’re not going to be back to 100% right after the shutdown ends as there must be piles and piles of backlogged things sitting on the desks of the 380,000 furloughed workers as well. Already the Wall Street Journal has estimated that this shutdown will bring GDP growth for Q1 down to 2.2% from 3.1% for all of 2018 – another month and we’ll be below 1.5% but it will give Trump an excuse for failing to deliver on his GDP promises – and he needs an excuse because nothing Trump has done has really helped the economy anyway. (See also: The Finance 202: Government shutdown threatens to take real bite out of economic growth.)

We’re right in the middle of Flu Season and 30 people are dead and 9,000 people are hospitalized but money to the CDC’s Influenza Program (our front-line defense against a national outbreak) has been cut off and that means we have no coordinated program to track and identify flu strains, which is how doctors get guidelines for treatment and how vaccine makers are able to prepare batches of antibiotics to contain the outbreaks. In other words, not only are people going to die during Trump’s little temper tantrum, but this could lay the groundwork for a massive outbreak – the kind that usually doesn’t happen in a first world nation.

The last time the Government shutdown was Oct 1, 2013 and it only lasted 16 days – not a huge effect on flu season. This shutdown is happening near the peak of the season, it’s like pulling back your firefighters just when the fire is getting more intense. That’s just one of the many, tiny things the Government does for us that no one seems to notice along with feeding, clothing and sheltering the poor – who will also soon be dying in record numbers as soon as we get a cold snap.

Trump wants and needs them to die! Trump knows the Democrats care about poor and sick people and Trump doesn’t – and that gives him a huge negotiating advantage as he holds our citizens hostage in order to extort $5.7Bn as a down-payment on a $30Bn wall that he’s already made sure rich people and corporations won’t have to pay for. If this were the plot of a movie you would say the villain is unrealistically evil, right?

Meanwhile, the Trade War marches on and now China has derailed applications by Visa (V) and Mastercard (MA) to process Renminbi payments – effectively locking them out of the Chinese markets. Over in Europe, the Brexit vote is supposed to be decided tomorrow and it’s widely expected that May’s compromise with the EU will be rejected and, if she can’t swing enough votes her way (she’ll get 3 tries) – it’s very possible she will be removed from office, which will set everything back just 11 weeks from the drop dead date, when the UK leaves the EU without a working agreement (i.e. – total chaos).

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn indicated his party would stage a no-confidence vote in the Government within days of May’s deal being defeated in Parliament on Tuesday. If a confidence vote failed, he’d be under pressure to back a second Brexit referendum, which would open deep divisions in the Labour Party, many of whose supporters backed leaving the EU in 2016. Corbyn said he’d rather get a negotiated deal to avoid a no-deal Brexit, which would be “catastrophic” for industry and trade. “We will do everything we can to prevent a no-deal exit.”

Amazingly, the crux of the conflict within Britain is over something people in the US thought was resolved decades ago – Northern Ireland! The main objection Parliament has is to guarantees May has offered the EU to make sure a new physical border doesn’t emerge between Northern Ireland, which is part of the U.K., and the Republic of Ireland, which remains in the EU. Critics say the pledges — which constitute what’s known as the “backstop” — risk binding the U.K. to EU rules forever.

They argue that May caved in to the EU and betrayed the electorate’s call to regain sovereignty, while treating Northern Ireland differently from the rest of the country. Though May survived a Conservative Party challenge to her leadership on Dec 12th, there’s still opposition on all sides: pro-Brexit hardliners in her party, other Conservatives who are pro-EU, the Northern Irish party that’s been propping up the government as well as the opposition from Corbyn’s Labour Party.

EU leaders have repeatedly said that the withdrawal agreement cannot be changed. The EU may send a letter offering reassurances about the backstop ahead of the vote in the British Parliament, but neither side thinks this will be enough to swing the result. European officials are probably waiting to see the scale of the likely defeat on Tuesday before deciding how to respond. The next EU summit is scheduled for March 21-22, though an emergency meeting could be called earlier.

May hasn’t said what she will do if she loses tomorrow, but she would have to come back to Parliament by Jan 21st with a “Plan B.” Her Cabinet is divided on what that should be. The opposition Labour Party has said it will try to trigger a general election, though it’s not clear it will have enough support to bring down the Government (yes, they get to do that in England!). May could put the deal back to Parliament again, with or without some tweaks. Or the Cabinet could decide to adopt a new approach to Brexit, in an attempt to win a majority. That would almost certainly mean trying to keep closer ties with the EU Bloc. Other scenarios: May could call an election, or lawmakers could try to trigger a re-run of the June 2016 Brexit referendum.

In other words, total chaos in Europe is very likely and investors are not generally fond of total chaos – especially when the US is also shut down and Asia is issuing report after report that indicate a slowing economy.

Meanwhile, our own economy may be slowing or it may not be slowing – there’s no way to tell with all our Government data shut down but we have 4 Fed speakers this week and some of the data may come in – very hard to say. We also have the start of earnings season. Citigroup (C) already missed on revenues to get us off to a poor start this morning.

Needless to say, be careful out there!
