Sending prompt for Dadphael! Maybe the kids getting in trouble but Raphael is low key proud they managed to pull it off. I just need Dadphael in my life and I love baby Orin.
A/N: I can do this. Not the best, but hopefully you chuckle.
Dadphael: He Shouldn't Be Surprised, He Robbed His Dad Too
Raphael's first reaction is blinding rage. A voice in his head screaming how has it come to this? How, in the name of the gods above and below, by all of Asmodeus' grace, could his spawn have been so colossally, unequivocally stupid?
His second reaction is begrudging respect. 
He settles somewhere in the middle, screwing his eyes shut and pinching the bridge of his nose. In the most even tone he can manage, the devil says, "Explain your vision."  
Orin's brow furrows. In contrast to her brother, who has adopted an expression of absolute contrition, his daughter seems to weigh her answer. Her expression shifts, visibility reactive to the path of her thoughts: confusion, desperation, irritation, all in quick succession. 
She settles on a petulant. "Haarlep?" 
"Are you naming your inspiration? Or enquiring after the source of your damnation?" 
She turns her nose up, crossing her arms over her chest. "Both." 
"Mm, then, in the spirit of fair play," he steps forward, linking his hands at the small of his back. "Yes. They sold you out. Let this be a lesson to you, pet: trust carefully. Better yet, trust none but me." The impudent little thing snorts. Raphael holds his hand out, "And now, an explanation is in order: why have you robbed me?" 
Carlyle steps forward, the pilfered item in question held before him. Orin favors her brother with a look. It is so simultaneously venomous, and so pleading that the boy cannot fathom how to proceed. "We meant to return it, Father, truly. But Korilla would not allow us near portals…" 
"With excellent reason." 
"...and we needed the scroll to contact an associate on the Prime Material." 
"Why." 
"Don't tell him, stupid," Orin hisses.
But Carlyle is determined to come clean, his sense of fair play and respect for his sire winning out over whatever fear his much smaller sibling might inspire. He hands the scroll of dimension door back to Raphael, standing tall and proud. "A gift, father. Haarlep gave us the location of one of your preferred artists. We'd hoped…" he shrugs, attempting a smile. And it is fundamentally strange to see his own expression reflected at him, all on the face of himself in miniature. "To commission something." 
The idea reeks of sentiment rather than bloodlust. Carlyle's idea, then, not Orin. Raphael eyes the pair, suspicious, irritated. "And how did you intend to pay for this work?" Orin produces a back of coin from her pocket, grumbling as she hands it over. "Ah. Is there anything else I should expect to find missing?" 
They answer as one: "No, my duke." 
"And you know better than to lie to me, yes?" 
"Yes, father." 
"Off with you then, little failures. Consider what you might have done to succeed. Learn from this." He is feeling magnanimous, infernal wine still heady in his system, a night of potential pleasure stretching out before him. Let them take this as a lesson and be done with it. 
A decision he comes to regret later. 
The little shits are, in fact, acting as a distraction. Haarlep has slipped from the House (also highly against protocol). Haarlep contracts the artist for the little beasts, and they present their gift to him a month later, beaming and unrepentant. 
He is caught entirely off guard, delighted and horrified in equal measure. Conniving wretches! Little thieves! They beam at him, a united front, unrepentant and full of potential. 
He still sends the little shits to their room without supper and confines them to their wing of the House for the next month. 
He's proud but too petty to pass up seeing the look of betrayal on their little faces.

»ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ʟᴏᴏᴋ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ ᴘᴇʀꜱᴏɴ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴅᴇꜱɪʀᴇᴅ. ʜᴏᴡ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ʟᴏᴏᴋ ʟɪᴋᴇ?«
that's a question I have asked myself a lot throughout my entire life.
»ᴡʜᴏ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ɪ ʙᴇ? ᴡʜᴏ ᴀᴍ ɪ?«
in my 25 years of existence, you may assume that I have an answer to that. Or you might know how difficult that question is. All I can say to this: No, I never found an answer. I just live. And I am who I am in that exact moment. I will never be the person again I was 2 seconds ago or the person I will be in the next 5 seconds. I'm constantly changing, evolving and growing.
If I feel like brown hair with beachwaves and flower dresses, I go for brown hair with beach waves and flower dresses. If I feel like blue short hair and a male appearance I can do that within seconds with almost no effort at all. I lost myself so many times to all the possibilities that I could be. That I am.
I never fitted in anywhere even though I could make the perfect fit everytime I wished to. But that's kind of the point. I don't want to fit in, I want to belong, be accepted and loved for who I am. But »ᴡʜᴏ ᴀᴍ ɪ?«
»ʜᴇʀᴇ'ꜱ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄʀᴀᴢʏ ᴏɴᴇꜱ. ᴛʜᴇ ᴍɪꜱꜰɪᴛꜱ. ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴇʙᴇʟꜱ. ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴏᴜʙʟᴇᴍᴀᴋᴇʀꜱ. ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴏᴜɴᴅ ᴘᴇɢꜱ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱqᴜᴀʀᴇ ʜᴏʟᴇꜱ. ᴛʜᴇ ᴏɴᴇꜱ ᴡʜᴏ ꜱᴇᴇ ᴛʜɪɴɢꜱ ᴅɪꜰꜰᴇʀᴇɴᴛʟʏ.«
ᴘʜᴏᴇɴɪx ᴇᴅᴇɴ ᴋᴇɴꜱɪɴɢᴛᴏɴ also better known as "ɴʏx" was born in Cambridge, UK, raised in Melbourne, Australia and later moved back to the United Kingdom. Although Nyx was assigned male at birth, they are most seen as the indie girl with dark blonde beach waves and a rather feminine appearance, sporting an edgy-boho look.
ɴʏx was the middle child among their six siblings (Gabriel, Maxine; older adopted siblings); (Nikita, Jonah, Moses & Ava; younger biological siblings). Yet, they were a special one, the first biological child of both their fathers, with the shapeshifting incubus abilities as well as vampires genes, which caused them a lot of trouble in her younger years, struggling significantly with their identity.
ɴʏx attended architecture school and graduated with honors while raising their five-year-old son Asher. Despite completing a degree in architecture, Nyx works as a freelance artist, photographer and musician with no commitments other than to their son.
random facts: two bengal cats, lives in cambridge, loves everything sweet, coffee addict, plant lover.
even if I identify as non-binary any pronouns are fine! I tend to vary with the pronouns a lot. I'm open to anything: plotting, smalltalk, roleplayers, etc. semi-selictive. 21+, mild gore, sexual themes, gender and apperance varies a lot.

Give me your Charlie head cannons :3
i haven’t worked on her character as much as I probably should, but oh well
Charlie is adopted! Henry is asexual and had no interest in marrying. He really wanted to be a dad, but he weighed the options and decided that the adoption process would be less stressful for him than the other process.
It was really difficult for Henry to get qualified to adopt, given that he was a single dude. A lot of people suspected him of being gay or a creep, and would give him A LOT of trouble.
Charlie was adopted when she was two. She had some trauma, but was still able to live a relatively normal life.
Charlie is also black, so she and her dad would sometimes get weird looks from people. Henry also had trouble with doing her hair, but he asked around and read books. He eventually got really good at it, and Charlie would brag on him at school for making her hair look pretty. That shit would make Henry’s whole week.
Charlie was really close with Michael. They’re about a year and a half apart in age, so they could relate to each other really well.
the Afton’s and the Emily’s essentially lived as a single family unit, so despite technically being an only child, she considered Michael, Liz, and Evan her siblings.
Charlie died in early 1984, and her death was actually an accident on Williams part. I haven’t fully fleshed out what happened, but essentially: she slipped and fell in the rain outside the pizzeria, hitting her head and breaking her neck. She didn’t die immediately, and William, in a moment of panic, decided to put her out of her misery.
that would be a really fucking sad point to end on, so I’ll wrap this up with some goofy wholesome stuff: her favorite color was green and she loved to play outside. She likes dirt and bugs and rain. She wasn’t scared of anything either, and would casually pick up spiders and yard snakes. Michael and Henry hated spiders, so Charlie always felt the need to show them the biggest spiders she could find.
elizabeth was also super into playing outside, but wasn’t quite as cautious or gentle as Charlie. So Charlie took it upon herself to teach her what bugs and plants were dangerous, but Lizzie always managed to get herself hurt anyways.
wow this was long. A lot of the adoption stuff is actually based on my own observations. I’m not adopted, but my mom and my grandma have both worked very closely with adopted and foster kids. The system is really fucked up and I wish everyone in the foster care system the best <3

man, i am up to here with bullshit myths about adoption.
less than 2% of adopted children develop a trauma disorder like reactive attachment disorder.
70% of adoptees express an interest in learning about their biological families. facebook is cool.
2.5% of minor children in the united states are adopted.
0% of adoptees have exactly the same experience and perspective as another adoptee.
"well, i know several people who were adopted and then they went insane and hated their adopted families."
okay, first of all, no you don't, you made it up; second of all, that is bonkers and not at all representative of average life, and i think you know that; and third of all, were you there to see what these people's experience was growing up? maybe their adopted families actually treated them like shit. who's to say? neither of us was there because you invented them to win an argument.
"adopted kids will always feel different from the other siblings."
do you treat them differently from the other siblings? try not doing that. maybe then they won't.
adoptees who are a different race from their families have a different experience. therapy can help them process this, and they can also look on adoption forums and subreddits to connect with other interracial adoptees to find support and validation.
but either way, consider treating your son like your son.
"you shouldn't tell a kid they were adopted until they're old enough."
old enough for what? when do you think it's a good time to tell a kid they weren't adopted?
"but they might not be ready."
ready for what?
if you lived your whole life chill and normal, and then one day your parents sat you down and said you were adopted, it could change your perspective of yourself and where you fit into the family. you might be angry and sad that you were lied to, and you might wonder if it was kept a secret because it's shameful, because they didn't want you the way you were.
if you knew your whole life you were adopted, then you'd know your whole life you were adopted.
"how do you explain that to a toddler?! you should wait because they won't understand."
dude, there are developmentally appropriate ways to explain anything to a child.
"ella came from mommy's tummy. cecelia came from outside of mommy's tummy."
"mommy wanted a sister for ella, so she went and found cecelia."
"we wanted to have another baby, so we decided to adopt you, cecelia."
"we were having trouble having a baby, so we decided to adopt. we were so happy the day you came home. do you have questions about your birth mom?"
"we had been trying for a long time after ella, but we just couldn't conceive. we thought about IVF, but decided to adopt instead. your biological mother decided to put you up for adoption before you were born. we still have the paperwork upstairs if you're interested. her name is brenda brendason."
use your brain.
"if you never tell them, what's the harm?"
there might be medical conditions that are passed on genetically and they might be better off knowing about those.
and like, WHY lmao??? what's your problem?????
can you imagine finding out as an adult, after your parents have passed away, that you were adopted? like, what would you do with that information lmao? that must be so weird.
"people want their own baby, not an adopted one."
this comment always sucks. it's nothing. your adopted baby is your baby. who else's baby is it? anyone you see at work could be an adoptee and you're saying that guy isn't his parents' son because of how they obtained him.
"it's okay that this movie character has always been in love with his sister because she was adopted."
you are a freak. stop doing that.

Here's my halfway coherent, shoot-I-wish-I'd-actually-write-all-of-this no-Order-66 universe I've been mulling over for like two or three years:
Dead Palpatine (the hows to determine)
Kit, Agen and Saesee are NOT dead
(Adi probably isn't either tbh bc I love Adi)
People are touchy about Anakin and he's kind of absent (left? is in prison for killing Palps? not killing Palps? for turning? anyway it's a Sensitive Subject) (in the interest of limiting angst he probably helped kill Palps and left to be with Padmé but is kinda bitter about all of it, that way Liberosis fits into this and I don't have to think about it too much. the point is, things are strained and remain that way for a while)
The world is absolutely not all unicorns and sparkles but it's getting somewhere. The Jedi are Very Tired and overworked and stressed but also they get to just sit and watch sunsets and that warms them up inside
A random Senator becomes Chancellor (not Bail, Padmé or Mothma). The Republic is still licking its wounds but at least it's there
The CIS kinda collapsed without Dooku or Grievous so there's a lot of independent systems but they're not united anymore and— boring stuff. The point is: an absolute metric ton of diplomatic missions for the Jedi
Many Clones decide to stick around and get sort of folded into the Order Antarian Rangers style (the others are very happy napping on a warm planet somewhere)
Shaak Ti and Stass Allie are on Kamino helping to raise/relocate all the Clone babies so they can grow up somewhere nicer (tbd - I've written a micro fic about this one so far)
Most Jedi ditch the armor (as do a few Clones) and get the baggiest, gigantest robes they can get away with. A few others keep the armor but like, engraved and decorated
Ahsoka comes back after a lot of thinking and gets knighted
Two Jedi who got stranded on a deserted planet during the war had a baby and the Organas adopt her (very important!!! and half written and lingering in my drafts - since like, two years ago)
Obi-Wan takes Katooni as his Padawan
Ahsoka takes either Petro or Reva as her Padawan a few years later (probably Reva)
Ganodi is either Stass' or Adi's Padawan I think
Zatt is either Kit's Padawan or Jocasta's
Petro is probably Aayla's (or maybe she picks Mari Amithest and Quinlan picks Petro.)
Gungi is Plo's Padawan
Byph is Luminara's (he's a precious little duckling and deserves to be CHERISHED okay)
Barriss gets help and healing
If Dooku isn't dead, then he spends the rest of his life in a cell playing dejarik with Obi-Wan and Yoda and having tea with them and bitterly regretting his choices (while struggling to come to terms with Yoda's forgiveness and love especially - I've got a couple of very short fics toying with the idea on here and Ao3 I think)
Maul probably gets the same kind of treatment? Then I imagine he escapes and goes back to Dathomir and then to some desert to have 274 identity crises about stuff (he might also just be dead sadly - but if not he def gets to have more encounters with Obi-Wan)
Ki-Adi takes O-mer as his Padawan and Mace takes either Jinx or Tai Uzuma, in which case Cin takes Jinx (yeah, Mace and Tai, definitely. That way Caleb gets to hang out with her)
Either Shaak Ti or Bultar Swan takes Ashla
Caleb is still with Depa, Cal with Jaro, and Trilla with Cere
I want to find Masters for Ran Deezy and Farn Klin and their siblings (because they each seem to have a twin which!!! I LOVE!!! okay they could just be from the same species and not be related but idc) but I'm coming up kinda short so Agen for Farn, Rig Nema for Ran, Tiplee for Farn's twin, Eeth (who didn't left, comics can gtfo) for Ran's twin
Korkie is Duke of Mandalore (which is ALL ABOUT PACIFISM, AGAIN, because I want it that way. The Jedi drop by to say hi and help sometimes. It should be noted that he's not Obi-Wan's kid.)
The Jedi keep running into Hondo who loves them and therefore loves to make trouble for them (hey, I actually wrote that one!)
Boba is a precocious mercenary/bounty hunter trying to get noticed by some big clients like the Hutts and every so often he runs into some Clones or Jedi and a little angst ensues
A lot of time and writing is dedicated to how deeply fcked the war was and how tired and sad everybody is
BUT
like twice that is about chilling in the gardens, planting things, watching grass grow, sleeping and rebuilding and how happy and lively the children are
Yoda privately cries when he realizes that his vision of a world at peace (the one he had to let go of) did come true - and didn't. The world isn't as perfect as he dreamed but it's infinitely better because it's real
windchimeswindchimeswindchimes
Obi-Wan and Cody get to have buddy comedy solo missions
Same for Obi-Wan and individual Council members. Just hijinks all around
It is very important to me that Cody chaperones a bunch of Jedi babies going to Ilum (probably Clan Bear? but also I want it to be like 10+ years down the line so he can complain about being too old for this shit even tho he's 23 - I WANTED TO SEE CODY WITH THE YOUNGLINGS AND GRIEVOUS ROBBED ME OF THAT)
Oh also Cody was made a General after the war and immediately retired from the army. For no other reason than I think he deserves it
Idk how Qui-Gon fits into all of this so for now his only purpose is to make Dooku angst some more but in a cathartic way
Padmé occasionally drops by with the twins - and vice-versa once Anakin is either free or over himself - and Yoda is their favorite person in the world. They're not being trained as Jedi and they kinda resent it a bit but they're doing fine. They see Uncle Bail and Aunt Breha pretty often, and Aunt Sola and Uncle Darred and Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru regularly, and they're besties with Ryoo, Pooja, and Bail and Breha's adopted Jedi daughter
Some quiet domestic moments where, say, Reva comes up to the slightly older Katooni & friends to get some help with her hair because she wants to do it like Tai's but is too shy to ask directly bc Tai is intimidating, but Katooni is obviously stumped so they try to find some Masters, and the first they come across are like Stass and Shaak Ti who also don't really know how to help, and it's Luminara and Cere who save the day
Quiet Master-Padawan moments in some of the smaller Temples, learning to meditate and be in the moment
A weird period of time before Ahsoka is officially knighted where she just hangs out with Obi-Wan and repairs her relationship with him. In the years after she is knighted but before she takes her own Padawan, she mostly stays with Obi-Wan and Katooni and he's having early days of the war flashbacks with his 'two' Padawans
Animal friendship. 80% of all Jedi missions involve it
PLANTS. PLANTS AND GREENERY AND DIRT AND GREEN THINGS. BECAUSE THE JEDI NEED THOSE

I’ve been thinking about Thunder
(dotc rewrite) The fire-red tom is the last surviving kit. His mother is still alive, but frail- the moorland cats say she is dying of a broken heart, an old superstition regarding queens and their lost kits- Wind and Hawk Swoop both agree to help her settle into the moorland camp, but with no medicine cat, she quickly deteriorates. Her son is named Thundering Storm in honour of her and a reminder of the storm of rubble that nearly killed them both. Tragically, Storm passes, but Thundering Storm is loved and treasured by Hawk Swoop and his adoptive siblings. Grey Wing is a good father- maybe too critical when he sees Clear Sky’s temper flashing in his son’s outburts, but feels Clear Sky should at least come visit his only kit. After the fire, when heat lightning crashes across the sky, a paranoid Clear Sky is adamant; Thundering Storm belongs to him. He is given to the forest and renamed Thundering Sky, now he has proven himself worthy of Clear Sky’s attention. Thundering Sky is one of them, a forest cat, he belongs with his kin. But Thundering Sky has know nothing but love: pure from Storm, gentle from Hawk Swoop and Turtle Tail, tough from Grey Wing, the love/hate banter of young siblings rushing to grow up together, and cannot fit into Clear Sky’s world. He returns to the moor with Frost. His father goes insane. Clear Sky wants boundaries, Clear Sky wants laws and order in a chaotic world, One Eye will help him achieve that. The winters in the mountains have made him paranoid. Thundering Sky is trapped between Grey Wing seeking peace with the others and Jagged Peak seeking revenge, and Clear Sky seeking order, he is caught between the forest and the moor, and his non-mountain blood. 
Even after all of it, Clear Sky’s jabs and comments, the murdering of innocent cats, working with One Eye to strengthen the group, the young tom just wants his father’s approval, truly. He wants his father’s laws to work, for the borders to bring peace, but they cannot. Not with Clear Sky determined to continue leading his group alone, and One Eye looking to take it. 
The mountain cats have brought nothing but trouble and bloodshed, and they fight to the death in the hollow with five trees until a lightning strike destroys one ancient oak and brings the dead back to life- over what? Over the rights to hunt? Over the land? Over him? Thundering Sky returns to the forest, seeing his father quiver before the spirits of their dead. They both just need someone to prop them up. He can temper Clear Sky’s rage, Clear Sky can make him into a cat he will be proud of.
He will not learn, even after One Eye is gone, Clear Sky is certain his way is right- after all, he and One Eye united the forest, the moor, and the strays. Unite or die, says the spirits, they must all come into Clear Sky’s control. You are a forest cat- you belong with me. He speaks of wanting a group, a set of rules and regulations to strictly keep the peace and honour, but he has no honour. None of the mountain cats do. They can all take their groups to the other side of the world. When the time comes, you will make it right, and Thundering Sky knows what he must do. He storms from Clear Sky’s camp in the dead of winter, he is nothing like his father, or his kin, he will make his own group. A group where the ill are tended too, the young trained, the evil punished. He sheds his name and becomes Thunder, not a forest cat, not a mountain cat, his own cat. He is not one of them. A new age is beginning, he vows, and sets to make his camp.
Clear Sky is furious, humiliated. His mother disowns him when she travels from the mountains, she curses Clear Sky so that he will never succeed in his bloodthirsty plans. He unites with Slash, regathers what is left of One Eye’s rogues and rogues from beyond- he has so much power he can gather cats from places beyond the forest, beyond the mountains. He makes one last push to unite the five groups, he bleeds into the ground by the river. Thunder gets word- Grey Wing is dying too, pushed to the edge by his brother’s actions. His last kin is gone. The new age is truly beginning. ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, ShadowClan, and SkyClan- led by Sparrow Fur, will rule the forest. Five Clans around Four Trees. Thunder’s code, the warrior code, will grow and spread, and the Clans will grow. Leaders will get their nine lives, their medicine cats will learn to harness the power of the living and dead. All is well with the world. In the future, they will wonder about the fifth tree, decayed by time, and if Quiet Rain’s curse has anything to do with the monsters rolling across the SkyClan border.

It’s good to be back!!
Today we’re in Penrith with even more van Aalsburgs.
Graham is one of Mary and Asher’s many offspring, so he’s a full sibling with Marise Kenton, Brigham van Aalsburg, and more. Like practically everyone else in his family he took up the tradition of adopting and raising random kids that weren’t his, including his own sister after the war, along with one that is his but... well. We’ll get there.
Graham is pretty casual and aimless, but he does alright as one of the Penrith outcasts. It helps that his wife is pretty ambitious when it comes to having fun, and he lives to please. He’s actually working as an entertainer, traveling to nearby villages to sing and juggle. It’s not a bad life.
Hattie was originally a serf who grew up with no expectations of freedom... despite the fact that her entire family had banded together to save enough money to free her older sister, Alyce. But Hattie didn’t hold it against them or Alyce. Honestly, she had no real desire to rise in station, not even after the war when she was freed and had a decent shot at rising above her station. It was just sort of unappealing? She loves her husband, despite the age difference, and even loves their little blended family unit. Thankfully she’s got no sense of shame since there are some who judge them for taking in Breena.
After being orphaned during the war, Agnes Bear had a very uncertain fate. She was barely a toddler at the time and very easily could have been lost for good. Graham found her though and has raised Agnes as his own from the beginning. Trouble was, he had been a bachelor at the time with loose ideas on child raising, with a troublesome sister to also keep an eye on, so Agnes grew up to be... well. A Romance sim with some questionable behaviors. I’m very curious to see how she develops! (I need you to know she rolled a height of 6′ as an adult. I cannot WAIT.)
Now for Breena. Her mother is Azalea Siew, who actually works in the local brothel. She was raised there until she was 3 or so, when Azalea finally realized it wasn’t a good place for a child and asked Graham to take her, which he did without hesitation. Her early upbringing really impacted her though, to the point where she’s already a bit of a prude. It’ll only get worse as she ages, knowing the burden of her birth is hard to escape in such a tiny flyspeck village.
As the only boy in the house, you’d think Lucas would be fed up with having so many sisters forever hogging the tub and privy, but he’s a chip off the old block and just about as laid back as a sim can be. It helps to be a night owl so he doesn’t always deal with them during the day.
Little Nola is the newest member of the family, and she kind of terrifies me.

moon ga-young, bisexual, female + she/her ― hey look, it’s aera davies! she's twenty-three years old, she's lived in shrike heights for fifteen years, and she's currently working at lapaws. i heard she's pretty impulsive, but i think she's so warm-hearted at the same time. can she make it out alive?
full name: aera davies. nickname/s: none currently. age: twenty-three. gender + pronouns: female + she/her. sexual orientation: bisexual. birthdate + zodiac: march 2nd + pisces. occupation: clerk at lapaws. living arrangements: living alone, considering roommates for the company. medical conditions: mental health issues (depression), managed well. drug + alcohol use: very occasional consumption of alcohol and (rarely) weed. likes + interests: nature, bugs, the ocean, sea life, space, the world (history and geography), animals, books, movies, theatre, television, music, fresh air, affection, praise, kindness, gestures. family: was adopted at eight years old by edmund davies. genuinely loves her family, as large as it is and as different as some siblings may be. pets: a mouse named dollop.
additional info / hcs -
aera was flown all the way to the united states from south korea as a baby, immediately being given up for adoption and almost immediately being adopted by an american couple. 
aera has never been told the details, nor does she care to find out, but the adoption ended up falling through and she became a child of the system there in the states. 
aera is naturally a very bubbly and upbeat person, she always has been. she doesn’t consider the eight years that she lived without a family of her own to be especially terrible, even though things really turned around for her once she was adopted. 
being adopted into such a large family, changed her life. this is exactly where she’s always belonged, she believes, and she’s happy to have spent those eight lonely years bouncing around as it allowed her to find her real family.
aera is the sibling that the rest of the family tries to protect. she’s got more optimism than any of them, and she has a habit of looking at things through rose colored glasses. her siblings give her advice, but she often doesn’t listen, believing that everything will be fine (and this often gets her into trouble). 
she’s overly friendly, too brave for her own good, terribly inquisitive and she has a habit of coming on too strong. she’s a very passionate person, and a big fan of other people. 
the crimes have shaken her up, causing her to feel a discomfort like she’s never felt before, but she’s reminded of how lucky she is to have her family and her friends as they help her through even the worst.

Name: Reina Santiago Age: 34 Occupation: ER Nurse Time living in Tonopah: 20 years Neighborhood: Downtown Gang Affiliation: None Face Claim: Ana De Armas
Biography: (tw abuse & neglect mention, substance abuse)
Born Reina Navarro in Havana, Cuba, she’s the youngest of two siblings. At age four, her, her parents, and her older brother all came to the United States in search of a better life, but that plan quickly derailed when problems with her parents’ immigration saw both of them deported, and Reina and her older brother entered into the system. They haven’t seen each other since.
Reina’s experiences in foster care were far from favorable. Subjected to abuse and neglect, she was passed around between a few different homes over the years until finally, at age 8, Reina was adopted by the Santiago family– a family that loved and cared for her and wanted nothing but the best for her. Through her adoption, she gained a set of loving parents and two siblings– an older brother and a younger sister who quickly showed her that family was so much more than blood. The Santiagos moved to Tonopah Falls when Reina was thirteen years old and she’s been there ever since.
Her late teens and early twenties were mostly a blur– she was either too drunk or high to remember most of them. Those years saw Reina at her wildest and fully unbridled. She lived her life without restraint and without fear of the consequences– until those consequences slapped her square in the face when she was twenty-two and her then boyfriend overdosed. No matter how hard she tried, Reina couldn’t revive him, and neither could the paramedics who arrived on the scene. His death scared Reina straight and she slowly but surely cleaned up her act and figured out what sort of direction she wanted her life to move in. When she was twenty-three, Reina enrolled in nursing school, determined to make an impact.
Four years later, she graduated with her bachelor’s degree and started working in the local emergency room. It was everything she wanted– full of adrenaline, fast paced, and more fulfilling than anything she’d ever done before. She’s worked there ever since and loves it– it’s not a glamorous job by any means, but it keeps her in check and keeps her focused.

Birthplace: Seattle, Washington, United States

Bio:
SEVERE TRIGGER WARNING FOR MENTAL ILLNESS
Marcus, or better known as Clock, as born in some Motel somewhere on the East coast. His mother was a prostitute for wealthy men and presumably got pregnant from one, though she gave him up for adoption immediately after his birth by leaving him on the guns counter of a large sporting and camping goods store as it was closing down for the night. The only reason why people know he was born in a motel was due to their research showing that a nearby Motel started hearing a baby crying about a month or two prior. The exact date is unknown as the man in charge of the motel during that time wasn't exactly responsible during the late hours, which they’re sure he was born in the middle of the night.
Upon being raised in an orphanage for boys, Marcus’ mental well being was called into question and if he was human since he wouldn’t stop climbing up impossible areas that no toddler should be able to climb up. He seemed to have strange abilities now and then like creating light from his fingertips.
Many different doctors (for mental and physical) were unable to figure out just what’s mentally wrong with him but he seems to have symptoms of hyperactivity, trouble focusing, developmental issues, trouble handling harsh topics and a strange obsession with order. He has a habit of screaming a lot and seems to act as though he’s still a child. There were some symptoms he had that maybe could tie him to common disorders but his other traits (delusional behavior, screaming, etc) seem to clash with these. He also seems to have a love for chaos as well, causing trouble because he thought it would be funny to see the people run around in stress. It wasn't just normal pranks children do, but pure chaos such as purposefully causing explosions in the kitchen or leaving an open bottle of food coloring in someone's clothing drawer.
At age eight, Marcus was put into a new orphanage (as no foster homes want to take him in) and the big grandfather clock in the bedrooms inspired him. The sound of the clock’s ticking made him feel immensely happy and felt like it was speaking to him in some way, so he decided to go by the name of Clock from then on. Since he went by Clock, many seem to forget that his name is actually Marcus, as it seems like Clock is a rather fitting name for boy. The way a clock ticks on in suspense until the next minute, much like how Clock stresses people to the point of him feeling like that same suspense.
Though not all was happy for Clock, he hated being an orphan. He decided that to make it easier to get him adopted, he constructed a cardboard box with the words “plz adopt me” though it was hard to tell it was even English from how poorly it was written. He sits outside every day in this cardboard box and shouts out for people to take him in, obviously this doesn’t work. It's extremely childish for his age, but he doesn't understand why that is.
The only other thing to happen in Clock’s life was a mysterious man in all white who stood a little too long in front of his cardboard box, as if he recognized him in some way. It was strange, the man had wings but they were completely shredded.
No one knows if this man was his father or not because he disappeared into thin air as soon as people started to notice how odd this man looked to stare at him like that. Clock strongly believes that the man was his biological father and currently cries out in the streets for his father to return. The man had not said one word to Clock, but Clock keeps coming up for names for what he assumes is his father. Even if that was his father, obviously he didn’t want Clock as the man just stared at him strangely before leaving. Though it calls into question just what exactly Clock is and why his father came to see him.
It's possible he was curious about the son he made years ago and came to check up on him. Multiple sources theorize on what Clock could be, from super human to demon. One thing is certain, there’s no such thing as a human with this kind of insanity and abilities.
The real truth? His father is a fallen angel. The powers of an angel are already extremely strong, and while a fallen angel is slightly less powerful, it's too much for a human to handle. Half-fallen angels don't normally exist, as they die from the overwhelming physical and mental strain of containing angelic powers. However, Clock is the rare exception.
Humans handling too many angelic powers will fall into madness, so Clock's disturbed mind is the result of his father being a fallen angel. His brain can't handle his angelic powers that it's caused him to spiral into a deep and intense form of madness.
Clock is normally nice to be around, though he does strange words for things such as calling cookies "Sweet round things" or something along those lines. He still sits in his cardboard box, but he also just wanders around greeting every face he meets. Yet he's not peaceful either, explosions and chaos are his favorite hobbies so he's always trying to cause it. Yet if he caused an explosion, he'll genuinely believe that he's innocent. To him, blowing up a car is the same as playing with toy cars.
It would definitely take a lot of work to get Clock to behave well enough to not destroy an entire city, that's for sure.

Caitlyn, popping into Jayce's office: You good? You seem rather relaxed today.
Jayce, defender of tomorrow, chilling and reading a book: Yeah, I just asked Viktor a pretty difficult question that should keep him occupied for at least two weeks. In that time he'll either calculate a solution or fuck the problem altogether.
Caitlyn, curious: What's the question?
Jayce: If we're both emotionless robots, how are we going to have sex?
Caitlyn:
Caitlyn: Couldn't he have just said no to sex?
Jayce, grins: Ikr. He still loves me. While he's busy with that, I have time to come up with a masterful plan to knock sense into that metal head of his and drag him back here. How about you? How's things with your girlfriend?
Caitlyn, laughs nervously: Oh it's fine. Everything is fine. Just us figuring out ways to deal with her homicidal, genocidal, homophobic but gay sister.... without killing her. Good times.
Jayce, looks up from his book.
Caitlyn sighs.
Jayce: Why couldn't we have fallen in love with normal people, Cait?
Caitlyn: I don't know bro. I guess we like the taste of madness and destruction.

     ------{josh hutcherson, 25, cis male, he/his} || evan stone is a mutant with the ability of teleportation. they’ve been in new york for fifteen years where they spend most of their time as a recruiter. when i think of them, i think of a carefree smile etched easily into boyish features, worn leather jackets that smell vaguely of cigarette smoke, & flashing neon lights accompanying the thump of a heavy bassline. they are affiliated with the xavier institute.
inspirations: vanellope von schweetz (wreck-it ralph), clap trap (borderlands), vash the stampede (trigun), haruka tenou/sailor uranus (sailor moon), baby (baby driver), yuffie kisaragi (final fantasy vii), k-2so (rogue one: a star wars story), chris (skins).
task one. task three.
name: evan stone. age/dob: 25 / september 28. occupation: recruiter for xavier’s institute, former student. mutation: teleportation. nationality: american. languages spoken: english. hair color: dark brown. eye color: hazel. height: 5′5″. build: athletic.
    ⸻ QUICK FACTS
triggers for: abuse, car accident. heart surgery.
evan is the product of the poor adoption and fostering system in the united states. he remembers nothing of his birth parents, only the various homes he was shuffled to and from in his early life. it was a series of different faces: figures meant to be parents, children of varying ages meant to be siblings ... none of which lasted long enough to make an impression. except for one.
the house evan spent most of his time at became the source of nightmares - specifically the father figure: abel. a man who wore a million dollar smile right up until the moment that he terrorized each of his foster children. varying levels of mental, emotional, and physical abuse that left invisible scars on evan - many that he still bears. he ran away from “home” when he was 10, though he was not reported as missing. abel still collected money for fostering him.
he was a little mouse of a boy hanging around the parts of new york he did - attempting to survive. slowly he assimilated himself into a garage crew: rough-and-tumble men and women who fixed up cars by day and took them to emptier streets at night to race. it was there that he met andrej serjowski ---or simply serj, who looked after evan quite fondly.
it was a slow bond at first - tentative on evan’s behalf. for a short while he stayed in the garage itself, taken care of by the garage crew communally all while being taught how to tune or fix up cars. he was taken fully under serj’s wing when he was 13, even moving in with him and his twin daughters.
his power manifested in serj’s home ---it began with stutter-stops, little flashes of teleportation just an inch or two forward. while serj was initially surprised at the news, he continued to accept evan as h is own child, and agreed to keep his mutation a secret.
at 14 serj began teaching evan how to race. at 16 he was hitting the streets at night, entered in for big prizes. it was nice for a while ---a short rush of adrenaline. in his fifth or so race the brakes failed on a sharp turn and evan was crushed between the steering wheel and his seat.
he required a heart transplant - lucky enough to survive it, to have a donor. in the arduous recovery he was approached by charles xavier, and when he was well-enough to walk and function again he was recruited to xavier’s school for the gifted ---serj supportive of this the entire way.
he’s lived on the manor ground since: first as a student an now as a recruiter for the cause. evan blossomed from a troubled problem child to a mischievous problem adult, who believes wholly in xavier’s ideals.
   ⸻ LITTLE TIDBITS
has a really neat pog collection. ask him about his special edition slammers.
loves the night life: clubbing, street racing (because he still does), or just being out at night.
neon colors. everywhere.
evan always has a smile on his face, always seems to be in a good mood. but do not mistaken that light-hearted demeanor (learned) for naivety. he’s seen his fair share of horrors throughout his life, and he chooses to overcome them every day rather than let them hold him back.
worked hard to be able to be at his skill level of teleportation. he’s not masterful by any sense of the word, but he’s achieved impressive feats with it.
mutant name: glitchhop.
leaves behind a neon purple matrix when he teleports - particles, similar to the smoke kurt wagner leaves when he uses his ability, that fades within seconds.

“BEING CHILDHOOD FRIENDS WITH THE MAXIMOFF TWINS AND RECONNECTING WHEN THEY BECOME AVENGERS (MARVEL)”
gif // requester: anon ​​// request here
Pietro’s not dead what are you talking about
The three of you growing up together in Sokovia, hanging out every day after school and getting into trouble together
They basically adopted you as a third sibling, especially since the war had disrupted your home life when you were young
Staying for their dinner at their house every night. Sometimes they knew you felt awkward about not having food at home, so Wanda would just conveniently invite you over to play around the time that they were having dinner
The three of you loved playing cards together and each of you saved up for your own set, which you took everywhere with you (and you traded your joker cards with each other’s so you had one from both your friends)
You were in the house, at dinner, when the bombs fell on the Maximoff house and hid for days with Wanda and Pietro
When you finally got out, you separated from the group for a while, trying to reconnect with your family
And when that failed, you returned to the only other family you knew, where Wanda and Pietro were now getting involved as activists in Sokovia
You were hesitant at first, afraid of what would follow, but eventually you found yourself on the front lines of protests along with the twins
When approached by HYDRA as they sought volunteers for experiments, you sided with Wanda, initially reluctant to give yourself over
But when Wanda made up her mind, so did you, not wanting to leave your friends
However, you still ended up separated, as HYDRA took you to another facility hundreds of miles away when you acquired your powers, them seeing another use for you beyond Sokovia
When the base in Sokovia was raided by the Avengers and the Maximoffs escaped, your location was one of the pieces of information they escaped with in the battle
But they couldn’t act on it, and this especially frustrates Pietro
Not until they joined the Avengers after Ultron and Wanda pleaded to try and find you
Pietro was content to sneak off and try to do it alone with Wanda, but Steve finally went in with Natasha as well for support
When they rescued you, you were far beyond the friend that they had been separated from in Sokovia, almost completely removed from the person you once were due to HYDRA’s conditioning
But you remembered your friends, even if you weren’t sure they were real at first, afraid it was one of HYDRA’s tricks
Wanda perhaps felt the worst about your condition, as she had been the one to eventually convince you to join her and Pietro
And so she was by your side the entire time when the Avengers brought you back to their base and you recovered. 
And she wouldn’t tell you, but you were also under her supervision, while the Avengers worked to make sure HYDRA’s conditioning wore off
She hated going into your mind when you were already so lost and scared, but it was necessary to help you recover
“I know, I know, y/n. I’m not going to hurt you. I promise.”
Pietro zipping in whenever he had the chance, just to lift your spirits with jokes or snacks
Him remembering what your favorite snack food from Sokovia was and someone finding in for you in the United States
The three of you staying up late and reminiscing as you got your earlier memories back from when you were a kid
Basically becoming the Avenger’s kids
And the three of you all somehow managed to hold onto each other’s joker cards

Bio:
All he had from his parents were three words scribbled on the napkin of a muggle diner: "Take Care. We're Sorry."  The napkin was weathered now, kept in tact by magic, tucked into the pocket of his duffel bag that he keeps packed at all times.  It's a habit from his first 8 years of life that seemed a little hard to break.  It's the only connection he has to the people who gave him life, other than knowing that they were somehow tied to the magical world.  He was cared for in foster homes until he was 3, when he was put in a boarding school for orphans of magical families in the English countryside.
He didn't get along well with the other children.  He was always quiet, unwilling to play along with their games.  He much preferred spending time with his own thoughts than running and screaming with the others.  That made him a target to the torment of the older boys.  So Spence learned how to dodge, how to throw a punch, how to take a hit, and how to back off just in time for the other kid to be the one that got in trouble with their caretakers.
He was bright, earning high marks in all his classes, which made him a good candidate for adoption.  So he was often paraded in front of interested parents.  He always kept his bags packed, just in case he would be chosen.  But the trouble of his history made things a bit complicated.  He wasn't a pureblood, or it couldn't be proven either way.  And, in front of people he didn't know, he was rather shy and came off as rude.
So when the Huxley's came through the doors of the institution, he wasn't expecting much.  Having been through this countless times he thought nothing of it, until he actually got to meet them.  They were nice, with warm smiles and bright hearts.  She had such an encouraging smile, and he had eyes that seemed to understand the world.  Spencer wanted so desperately to live with them, and for once in his life he got his wish.  A week later, he gathered his bag and traveled to his new home.
It was the night he got there that he walked in on Mr. and Mrs. Huxley discussing "the siblings".  They were born to muggles, and needed a home.  When they saw him, they pulled him into the conversation.  It was the first time he was asked how he felt about a decision before it was made, and a moment he will remember for the rest of his life.  That feeling, of being part of a unit that decided together, was what family was.  He told his new parents that they could always give it a shot, and maybe having siblings wasn't so bad.  That's when Leo and Tyson entered his life.  The adjustment was difficult for them all, but Spencer soon settled into his role as big brother.  A little while later, a spitfire in the form of the youngest, Hayden, rocketed into the family and their little unit was complete.
Spencer remains incredibly protective over his siblings to this day.  He would do anything for each of them, whatever he could in his own power.  He sometimes finds himself cleaning up his siblings messes, but he always does so with a hint of amusement behind his scowl at them.  They are the family he always wanted growing up, and the fact that they had made their way to one another against all odds made them even more special to him.
In school, Spencer developed a love for the kitchens.  It started on accident, a dare from one of his classmates to steal some cookies from the house elves late one night, but he ended up spending a lot of his time in the kitchens with the elves.  He learned a lot about cooking, especially sweets as they were his favorite.  So when two sisters a couple years younger than him at the school opened up a confectionery in Hogsmede, he applied very quickly to work with them.  Now, he can help craft new and exciting recipes to bring more and more joy to the faces of the students as they enjoy their weekend away from the grounds.
The war continues on, but Spencer isn't wholly concerned with it.  He sees no need to pick sides.  If he just keeps his head down, sells his sweets, and makes sure his siblings aren't too outspoken with their views, he knows they'll make it through, whatever comes.

“You have a daughter!?” Kali/Smoke
Bringing this over from my Archiveofourown prompt requests! Hope you enjoy! This prompt/dabble is for thelordchanka with the prompt "You have a daughter?"
The base was buzzing with work, recruit's heading out for last minute flights since they weren't needed for the upcoming cross training session and missions Harry had lined up. Most of them would require select operators, one's who wouldn't be able to leave for the holidays. Upon a collective request among the select few, three hours of negotiating (mainly whining and complaining) Harry finally relented on his restriction of having civilians on base. Although he was still reluctant about the entire choice all together, he had very strict rules. 1) No pranks. 2) Armory stays locked. 3) Kids/teenagers must stay with parent(s) at all time. 4) Common room and training/simulation room may be used as forms of entertainment. The last rule strictly applied as long as the kids remember that everything they see must stay a secret, he could trust the operators to reinforce this. After all, Rainbow didn't technically exist. A ghost in the shadow of every military unit on earth. They handled situations and missions no one will ever know about and the few that were public? Covered as special ops or joint missions. Everyone in Rainbow were all highly trained soldiers hand picked from even the best operators. They never disappointed Harry while on the job, but more humane moments like now? Well, it was just a simple reminder that they were still human behind their harden military mind sets. 
Kali was still trying to process the information she just heard from the table behind her, Smoke had a daughter? The crazed chemist actually had family, much less a child. How in the world did someone like him maintain a lasting relationship enough to reproduce. Ignoring Ace's conversation with Wamai, she focused back on the SAS group behind them. 
"She didn't like the idea of taking Christmas break but I'm pretty sur she'll love being here, I'm always telling her about everyone here. Despite her studies, Charlie does love hearing them. Surprise right?" Smoke mused as he fiddled with a picture he kept in his wallet, staring at it fondly. He had rarely spoke to anyone outside the SAS about his adoptive daughter, she was in her last year of high school and scoring straight A's and would graduate with honors. Charlie was the embodiment of everything Smoke couldn't be when he was growing up and so much more. He loved seeing her view of the world and everything she was learning, she had taught him a lot about life that he would never have thought of looking at in a thousand years. She was his connection to being human, a safe haven away from his crazy job. 
 "You're acting like we haven't mess the lass before." Sledge replied after swallowing a spoon full of mash potato's. They had met her once before when Smoke had to go check on his apartment a few miles away following a series of break in's. She acted nothing like the chemist aside from sharing his twisted sense of humor. Charlie basically kept him out of trouble when he had leave time from work. 
"Yeah but she hasn't met the rest of this lot, wonder what she'll think." 
"You worry too much." Mute mumbled beside him, a neutral frown on his face over the fact that Thatcher had taken his phone minutes earlier so the young operator would eat instead of burying his face in the device. More than once he had complained later in the day of being hungry because he missed dinner or breakfast for that same reason. Thatcher of course scolded him every time but taking his phone was a last ditch effort to get the man to eat properly. He didn't need the defender light headed during training from lack of food. 
"I'm not worrying too much! I just don't trust most of these barmy bastards not to try something stupid when everyone shows up. Bandit hundred percent I don't trust, he'll twist her beautiful little mind into something terrible."
"Yet you're just as bad, ever think about that or has Doc's scolding taught you nothing?" Thatcher piped in from his spot across the table. 
"All he's bloody taught me is how much I can get away with before I have to hide." Smoke chuckled, putting the picture of his daughter back in his wallet. 
Kali made a mental note to ask him later about the entire conversation, she was on good enough grounds with the defender that they could have a decent and friendly conversation when they crossed paths. Soon enough the cafeteria slowly became devoid of noise. Most of the operator's were calling home to invite whoever could make it or simply wishing their family and friends happy holidays. Kali on the other hand decided to hit the training room for awhile, not surprised to see a few operators spread out doing their own training. She listened in on different conversations as she bedded down to work on her sniper aim. Nothing caught her interest though, most of the banter was work related or Christmas gift ideas. She had learned from Mira that most of the operators exchanged gifts as a way of team building, an idea Harry had implemented soon after his employment as the new director. 
She had to give the man some credit, he surely knew how to bring a team together. Most of his tactic's were questionable at best but even she could the good intent behind each choice, he was even able to pull Doc and Lion to even ground and now the two seemed like friends all over again despite the random bickering they still did with Montague or Castle playing peace keeper as usual. Some small part of her felt bad for them, they were all adults but some parts of them still shined like children fighting over a toy. It was a vast difference from the attention to detail they all showed in the field though, she had heard Jackal mention it was like flipping switches off and on in their minds. Essentially they were all two sides of the same coin, one side a passive civilian living day to day while the other side was a ruthless soldier who wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on someone wishing to cause harm. 
Personally she never really understood where she placed in that category but as long as the job was done who cared? She has taken out countless dangerious men and women alike. She seriously wouldn't have her life any other way. She sighed after spending the rubber bullets she acquired from the training gun rack and headed back to the main building, she noticed Smoke hanging around the common room and remembered the conversations from earlier, deciding now was a good time as any.
"Porter, mind a chat?" She asked as she approached the man relaxing against the bar across, tending to a half drank beer, the room from the tv that was currently playing some nature documentary. Dark chocolate brown eyes met her hazel eyes, a question playing across them before he motioned to the seat next to him. 
"I can fancy a talk, what's on your mind Kali?"
"You have a daughter?"
Smoke nearly choked on his beer at the straight forward question, he shouldn't expect less from her but at the same time he didn't think anyone had been listening in. Each table/group always stuck to their own conversations and rarely asked or interrupted anyone on theirs. 
"I didn't think you were bloody listening in! I could barely hear my own thoughts over Ace's loud mouth." A small smile tugged at her lips, Ace could very well be loud and self centered at times but he was a man that truly cared about other's safety above his own, rushing headlong into the worst of a situation just to make sure no one needed having. A natural thrill and need to protect and serve. 
She still owed him greatly for saving her that one time. "I happened to catch a small snippet. So I grew carious. Never heard you talk so fondly over something other than those canisters of yours." 
Smoke rubbed at the scar at the base of his hair line, no one at base had ever dared to ask him about it. Hell they all had their fair share of scar's, physically, mentally and emotionally. He simply waved the question off all the time and gave the same short handed reply. It was work related. Of course a lot of the operators around base never bought into it but out of respect for privacy no one ever pushed the subject. 
"She's not... blood. I adopted her years ago before I got invited to Rainbow. Never saw myself being with anyone but I've always wanted a kid, someone that could show me the world in a different view right? Charlie's done just that. She's excelling in school, straight A's and honor's. Nothing like her old man." He chuckled softly before taking a swing of his beer, pausing for a moment before continuing. "Charlie she... see's everything so bloody different than I do. I've forgotten what a civilian's view on life is, I don't see everything the same as when I was a kid. I was too busy exploring, a free spirit I was. That kid on the other hand, smart head on her shoulders. Been teaching me a lot over the last few years I didn't even know were things. Like all these new math and science categories she's studying, blew my mind at first. Seems like they expect them to know college level stuff before they even graduate. But what about you Kali? Got any family? Husband? Wife? Siblings? Kids?"
Kali slowly took in every ounce of information the man offered, she never really considered Smoke an open guy but at the same time there were rare moments each person just needed an outlet. She figured this was one of those moments. He was going to expose someone he held close to his dangerious line of work, granted she wasn't going to be in harms way by any means and neither would the other kids. A bigger smile graced her features, her hazel eyes settling on the tv across the room. 
"No, nothing of the sort. I'm married to my work as most people say. I don't have time for any relationships, to me it's a burden I don't need." 
Smoke scoffed and sat up a bit straighter in his seat, "You're missing out then Shah, Charlie's the best thing that ever happened to me." He told her with a warm grin, "Give it some thought, might change your mind after you meet her." 
The next few days flowed by quick, families arriving as they could. Most of them were settled in spare rooms while most operators didn't mind sharing dorms with their families. Currently the cafeteria was buzzing with chatter and stories being tossed around while a few decorated the base for Christmas, of course the chaos worsened over a snide comment Bandit made to Smoke. Before the man could retort it, Charlie already had him by the ear and was basically dragging the full grown man away from the fight all the while scolding him. 
"You promised me you wouldn't fight with uncle Dom while I was here and you almost did it anyway! I seriously can't leave you alone for one second!" Charlie argued. 
"I'm sorry! I promise for real this time! I won't bloody do it again I swear!" Porter tried to protest.
"Fat chance dad!" 
Kali chuckled quietly to herself because Wamai who had his hands clasped behind his back, "Rethinking what Porter said about family?"
"As far as I'm concerned Wamai? this is my family."
