how do you think rafes gf would react to him killing peeterkin?
⠀ ◞ ྀི◟ ͜ ◞ ྀི◟ ͜ ◞ ྀི◟
you have no clue! because rafe obviously doesn’t bring you to the plane runway where it happens, and he’s sure as hell not gonna tell you. you remember the day they got back after it happened, sarah hopping out the car in tears with rafe shortly behind her, looking disheveled with that wild look in his eye — the one he got whenever something bad had happened. you’d made eye contact with rose through the window, same concerned expression spreading across your face at the way they both entered the house without much conversation.
rafe almost looked surprised to see you when he entered his room, your legs swinging from where you sat at the edge of his bed. “where’d you go?” you ask, and he pushes his hair back with his hands.
“uh, had to pick up sarah. something happened on the runway with that john b kid.” he’s keeping it vague, avoiding your wide concerned eyes.
“oh? is he okay?” you tilt your head, and this seems to be the wrong question to ask as you watch his jaw clench.
“yes. he’s okay…” he thinks for a moment, turning his body to you. “that cop, uh— peterkin? he…he shot ‘er.”
you fall into stunned silence, staring at him as he haphazardly sorts through his laundry pile, looking for a specific shirt or something.
“john b… shot a cop?” it didn’t even sound right coming out of your mouth. you had met john b, he didn’t seem capable of shooting a target let alone a person.
“is it that hard to believe? the kids trouble.” he defends irritably, continuing to rifle around.
“but he seemed so nice—”
“hey,” he slaps his hand on the bed. “enough, alright? i don’t wanna hear that right now.”
you drop it, because clearly things were just a lot for him.
the next few weeks are a blur, the whole island searching for john b. rafe and ward start to have these secret meetings in wards office, ones you’re not allowed to know anything about — and there’s a nagging voice right at the back of your head telling you that something’s off.
on a random weekday, you’d had rain over night. whenever it got like that, the worms and snails would fall into the dips of the lawn at tannyhill and drown in large puddles on the concrete— so you were outside whilst rafe was in one of his said meetings, picking up snails and such with your fingers and putting them back on the grass where they belonged so they weren’t to drown. you hum happily to yourself, lifting your head when you hear the growl of a motorcycle crawling up the front lawn. barry.
you knew barry through rafe, they did bad things together you were aware. drug selling stuff. rafe didn’t allow you to be apart of all that, and it made you anxious so you were happy to stay separate from it all— but you’d met barry a few times. he was always nice enough to you, even if rafe said he was a pain in his ass.
“well if it ain’t the princess.” barry smirks as he jumps off the bike, tossing his helmet and catching it.
“hi, barry.” you smile, carrying a worm over to the grass.
“what you doin’ out here, kid?” he strolls over curiously.
“making sure the insects don’t drown in the puddles.” you explain matter-of-factly which makes the older boy chuckle, nodding in understanding. “rafe is just in a meeting with his father, he’ll be out soon.” you add, knowing that’s likely why he was here.
“yeah, yeah i bet he is…” he scoffs, shaking his head, walking aimlessly around you. you stand to your full height, dusting soil-crumbed hands on your shorts as you shoot barry a confused look.
“why’d you say that?”
barry laughs, scratching beneath his nose with an exasperated expression. “country club gettin’ himself into all kinds’a shit lately huh?” you feel something in your chest drop to your stomach and you step closer.
“like… like what?”
his smile freezes on his face, brows raised before he laughs again. “oh shit, you don’t know, princess?”
you glance nervously at the house, and then back at barry. you don’t speak, so he responds anyway.
“your boys a cop killer.” he whispers the last two words in amusement before bursting into laughter. you feel your face fall, his laughter fading into the sound of your heart thumping in your head, ears ringing. you lower yourself back down to the floor, facing away from the house as you cradle your head for a moment— trying to process the information with tears in your eyes. rafe had killed peterkin. your rafe.
you feel barry crouch beside you, tilting his head with a fading smile. “its our secret now, kid. how ‘bout that? the price you pay for gettin’ involved with this crazy ass family.”

Heya, wanted to do an ask, as well as your inbox still says you're taking requests. Didn't know if you wanted to change that.
How do you think the justice league boys, (Superman, Batman, Green lantern ( Hal Jordan), the flash, etc.) and John Constantine would react to an alien Reader?
Better explanation: So the reader has patterns or something that changes based on their mood, so how do you think they would react if they were talking to the Reader and Reader's colours changed to love?
Reminds me of Koro Sensei so I'm gonna use his color palette to dignify the readers colors! Also thanks for letting me know abt my inbox LMFAO- Anyways I think
Batman was just ranting to you about his recent expedition with Hal, enjoying how your face would change colors based on your reactions to certain parts of the story. A deep blue with white outlines when you were shocked, green when you were happy and lilac when relieved. It was a simple and straightforward way of knowing how you felt and he liked about you. He had all your colors and their meanings memorized not only in his mind but in his database too. So it was quite the shock when you'd started to turn a light pink, the areas of your cheeks being a bit darker. You looked lovesick with a lopsided smile on your face and he stopped talking as it all really hit him. At the sudden silence your face went gray and neutral signifying your confusion. He chuckled and decided not to tell you the real reason why he stopped. But now that he's aware of your little crush he may act on his own.
Superman would also probably have most of your colors memorized though he still doesn't know what all of them mean. So when you turn a light shade of pink while you both were talking he was confused because it wasn't a color he could relate to anything. When he asked your pink color turned into a salmon color as you got embarrassed, that one he knew. He had to ask Batman what you turning pink meant in the end because he wanted to know just in case it happens again. When he figures out the emotion behind it he's very flattered and likes to see how easily he can make you turn pink.
Hal would be similar to Superman in the sense that he would only know what some of your colors meant. He's never asked he's just picked up on a few from just being around you. He likes to have knowledge on things though, so whenever a color comes up that he doesn't know he wouldn't mind asking you about it. You usually have no problem explaining to him what you're feeling but right now when he caught you turning bright pink when talking to him you seemed to shut down. Your pink turned salmon which luckily he knew so he asked why you were embarrassed which only deepened your color. He wasn't able to get an explanation out of you that day but after observing your behavior (and color) around him while comparing it to others he was able to easily catch on.
Barry would make an effort to know all of your colors. He struggles! But he's trying and that's the important thing. When having a conversation with you he usually tries to take it slow so that he can fully develop an understanding of what all your colors mean, he's honestly very fascinated. He tries to make guesses on what the colors he doesn't know mean based on context clues. So when you suddenly turn pink his brain is immediately in analyzing mode! It takes a couple of interactions with you for him to figure out exactly what it means, it's only a hunch but it's enough to give him the confidence to ask you out!
John has a mental library of what all your colors mean. Even colors you think he doesn't know he knows ok? So when you turn pink and he doesn't immediately know what it means he starts using the process of elimination to figure it out. After maybe two interaction with you turning pink around him and he's clocked the emotion behind it. Similarly to Superman he likes to tease you and see just how pink he can make you. His goal is to make you turn hot pink, he thinks it's cute.

Ok but Krypton!lives au but clark isn't some jerk alien prince, he is a brat no doubt but he's also just so oblivious to everything. Have some of my headcanons for this:
•I imagine it starting with kal el dropping down on Kansas farm [grown up and shit] being found by the Kents as they patch him up and take him down on the guest room, he wakes up freaks out a bit speaking in kryptonian and just floating around the house being overly careful of everything, ma and pa kent are confused and so is Kal, he tries to communicate with them and they finally find a common ground and after a month clark finally learns the human language.
•zod has managed to exile kal from his home planet, suffice to say kal el is currently heartbroken and looking for help
•Kal just saw some random pair of glasses and thought they were so cool so now he just wears them whenever he's in casual clothes but is in no way trying to hide his identity, people are just that dumb.
•Does not get social cues at all and will unwillingly say the wrong thing at the wrong time, he's just a happy little guy who wants to explore this strange planet and then go home
•he particularly likes rock music despite his personality, he finds hardcore metal music soothing
•he once tried to eat Batman's ears, in his defence they looked edible to him,
•Diana loves to fill in kal with false information about the human race, kal is not stupid enough to belive them but follows them anyways just because he thinks it would be funny
•Bruce has a very subtle crush on him and kal notices this immediately, he's confused as to why Bruce pretends to hate him
•The whole league [escpically bruce] is overprotective of him, lex Luthor doesn't stand a fucking chance
•Kal el has no filter and will call you out with a bright innocent smile and float away moving on with his day
•Kal lives in the watchtower only visiting earth for league business, he rarely works alone
•he floats near the Zeta tubes almost everyday hoping to see bruce and when he's not there he's disappointed
• he refuses to walk, he thinks he's done enough walking for a life time and bruce has to tug on kal's cape to make sure he isn't floating above his seat
•he is way more capable of communicating his emotions in kryptonian then in English, he will switch to kryptonian when he's ranting or angry
•Diana and Barry are the ones who suggest he make a civilian identity, and thus is born reporter clark kent.
•He still visits the Kents here and then bringing them souvenirs from space
•Does not understand when someone is flirting with him but will bring bruce random animals he finds in the wild as gifts because "I heard from Jason you like adopting tiny lonely beings"
•he's still pretty good at hiding his identity somehow and at this point as learned all social cues and slang thanks to lois
•yet he still decides to fuck with the league, he gives batman forehead kisses, he once called green lantern a thot ["does that not mean thoughtful?"] And will very knowingly insult anyone who even looks at his loved ones the wrong way
•while bruce is more open of his protectiveness [and possessiveness] of clark, Clark himself is more subtle and quiet about it, but not forgetting he's still technically a spoiled prince of Krypton cannot share. He snatches bruce and gets pouty whenever bruce is talking or flirting with anybody else
•it takes them five years to get together but it finally happenes and they start dating
•the kryptonians finally find clark and force him to go with them but clark now refuses even if his exile is over.
•unfortunately he really can't leave his planet behind and has to leave [he and bruce have a long sad conversation and clark breaks down]
•A month later bruce is handling another team meeting when Clark finally comes back
•he offically leaves Krypton to his older cousin Kara and moves in with bruce
•his favourite movies are the James bond movies
•The batfam all adore him
•Basically I want a Au of sweet innocent clark that's oblivious to innuendos and shit while bruce suffers in silence and the evolves into clark being a little shit who pretends he doesn't know what he's doing when pulls bruce close and whispers in his ear about smth knowing damm well he's doing things to Bruce.
Also-
Diana: Batman if your done fighting with your boyfriend, we need to leave
Batman: wha- kal is NOT my boyfriend!
Kal: (has only be in earth for a year) I'm not?
Batman: I-
Kal: Am I not your friend?
Batman: no kal I never said-
Kal: am I not a boy?
*jla snickering in the back*

Heal My Wounds
Full Of Surprises (part 35)
Rhea Ripley x (fem) Reader
You are in a toxic relationship with an abusive man but manage to run away. A tall, black haired woman picks you up from the streets just in time so your ex doesn't get you. But who is she and why does she seem so familiar to you? As you get to know each other you start to notice weird feelings you never had before whenever she's around.
Tumblr media
Two weeks later you're back at home. Rhea took a few more days off to spend even more time with you, saying she had some special things planned.
"So, what is that special thing you have planned, love" you ask your wife while putting the dishes from breakfast away. "you'll see" Rhea smirks and pecks your cheek. You smile and shake your head. "See you in the car in five" you tell her and walk away to get ready.
After driving for around 15 minutes you arrive at a pretty big, modern house. Almost like a villa. You didn't even want to imagine what it cost. "woah, who are we visiting, who's living here?" you ask. "Maybe we soon" Rhea smirks at you.
You didn't even realise what she meant until you're standing face to face with the real estate agent. "Are you Mrs. Bennett?" he asks. "Yes" you both say simultaneously.
You look a little confused and embarrassed but Rhea notices and takes over the situation. You thank her internally and take a small step behind her, taking her hand in yours.
"I am the one you talked to on the phone, this is my wife y/n." she explains. "We're here for the house tour, remember?" "Oh, yes sure. Follow me ladies" the agent says and gestures towards the house.
He walks off and starts explaining stuff. You follow close behind Rhea and whisper to her, asking how she expects to pay for such a mansion, but she calms you down by saying you have nothing to worry about and to leave the financial stuff to her.
The man shows you around the big house, starting with a huge garden that has a pool in the backyard. "Moving on to the inside, we have this beautiful kitchen here on the left. It's got lot's of storage as you can see here" he opens some drawers and cupboards.
Moving on you get to see a huge living room with one of the biggest flat screen TVs you ever saw. The couch was also quite comfortable and so big that three, if not four people could sleep on it.
"Upstairs we have three major bedrooms, plus two guestrooms. Each
including their own bathroom and walk-in closet." the real estate agent proceeds to explain.
After the tour he gives you another 20-30 minutes to go around the house again on your own.
"Rhea I- I have no words.." you stutter and look at her with big eyes. "You don't need to say anything love" she says and kisses you. "I just thought, now that we're married, we could move into a bigger house. Maybe even start our own family, that's why I picked one with more than one major bedroom" she smiles at you.
You take a moment to process everything she said, not breaking eye contact for a second. "I- This is perfect. Of course I want to have my own family with you, I always wanted to have kids" you beam at her.
You stand on your tip toes to wrap you arms around her neck and burry your head in her shoulder. "Thank you baby" you mutter against her skin.
You take a last look around the house before returning to the real estate agent, telling him you decided to buy the house and asking when you can move in.
Only a week later you finally got all you stuff moved from Rhea's old flat to your new home. It's not even far from your friends, only ten more minutes.
Since Rhea put in so much effort for you over the past couple month you decided to throw her a big appreciation party and fullfil one of her biggest dreams. An own dog. You went to the local animal shelter and picked a small bull terrier puppy named Barry.
"You're gonna be perfect!" you whisper to him as you take him out to the car. Back at home the surprise party was fully set up and the guests were waiting. You even reached out to her family, asking if they could come.
"Alright guys, don't freak out about this baby here and keep it quiet!" you dare them jokingly as you reveal the puppy. "Quick, she's coming!" Calista, Rhea's younger sister, warns you.
Everyone gathers themselves in the living room and a few seconds later Rhea walks through the front door. "Babe? Why are there so many cars in the driveway?" she shouts but suddenly stops once she reaches the doorframe to the living room.
She's speechless for a moment, just taking in everything she sees. "Surprise baby" you say fairly quiet and show her Barry. "You- a dog! OMG I didn't think could love you just the tiniest bit more but I can! Thank you so muchhh!" Rhea squeals and hugs you. "All of you!" she adds after letting go of you.
"What's your name sweetie?" she then asks the puppy in a baby voice. "That's Barry, our first baby if you wanna say so" you smile and watch them cuddle.
You spend the rest of the day with your friends and family, eating cake and partying and of course simping over Barry.

Baby's First Halloween
Mikey forces Draxum joining him and his family for trick and treating.
My @rottmnt-secret-gifting gift for @bambiraptorx :] Happy Halloween!! Don't judge the title, I am either very good with them or terrible with them TwT Sorry this is shorter than I planned, but I hope you still like it!!!! I saw that your fics featured Draxum a lot so I tried writing something that is both Halloween themed and from his pov, I hope he is in character and you enjoy it :> Also on AO3 <33
 Baron Draxum had yet to understand humans. Yet to like them. But he had thought he had an idea of them (other than the fact they all were annoying). Spending months among them had given him a new chance to observe them better. At some aspects they were just like he expected them to be. In other aspects though, they proved to be more interesting than he thought they were. That wouldn’t happen often, but still was worth mentioning.
 Nowadays he didn’t have a problem living among them, he had gotten used to them, and to their behavior. He knew the basics; he knew what to expect from their society.
 Then Michelangelo showed up at his door with a costume in his hands and Draxum once again was lost.
 “What the heck is a Halloween?” Draxum stared at the mutant.
 “You don’t know Halloween!?” Mikey exclaimed. “It is okay, I can teach you everything!”
 “I am not interested.” Draxum replied.
 “Too late!” Mikey grinned as he walked in. Draxum knew he had no way to escape from the boy. He let Mikey get in with the costume he held. “So, Barry, Halloween is a human holiday- one of the best even- which I’m sure you’ll love!”
 “I doubt that.” Draxum had learned about some. They were nothing like yokai holidays, and they made no sense at all. He was sure this would be no different.
 Mikey sat on to the couch and placed the costume by his side. “Halloween happens during the night of 31st of October, and people celebrate it by trick and treating, watching horror movies, putting scary decorations everywhere…”
 “Is that why I have been seeing bat and pumpkin replicas everywhere?” He asked rhetorically, interrupting the teen.
 Mikey grinned, “Yep! People like to decorate and get into the Halloween spirit early! That’s what October’s about baby!”
 Draxum gestured to the costume in front of him, “What’s with the costume?”
 “Oh! I made it for you!” Mikey beamed. “The most important thing of Halloween is how you look. You gotta wear a costume if you are celebrating it. And you’ll terrific!”
 He reached and held the costume in his hands. “You dress up ridiculously?” Draxum questioned, inspecting the costume with more detail now.
 “Sometimes some people do, but majorly it is about looking scary.” Mikey explained.
 Draxum eyed the costume again. He couldn’t see how these clothes were supposed to be scary. He didn’t mention that though.
 “I mean, you don’t exactly have to wear a costume since this whole situation”- Mikey gestured to Draxum like whenever his family said that phase- “but, traditions are always better!”
 Draxum suddenly realized what Mikey meant, “So that’s the thing all the yokai got excited about every October.”
 “Huh?” Mikey blinked at him with confusion.
 “Every year yokai get excited about going to surface and walking among humans freely for a night.” Draxum explained. “I never understood the excitement for a thing like that, and so I didn’t find it worth to check and lose the time I could prepare my plans.”
 Mikey hummed, “Humans somehow can’t tell the difference between mutants and costumes most of the time, which is much better for us!”
 “As I had said before several times, they aren’t smart.” Draxum commented.
 “Don’t be rude, Barry!” He got up, “After all we’ll have some fun among them soon.”
 Draxum looked at Mikey, and then at the costume. “I’d rather to pass the offer.”
 Mikey shook his head, “No! Way!” He exclaimed. “You are joining us this Halloween!”
 “You?” Draxum didn’t like how it sounded.
 “Yep! Since you have never enjoyed this amazing holiday, why not join us?” Mikey said, hugging Draxum’s arm.
 The mutant raised a brow, “I am not sure if your family would like that idea.”
 “They won’t mind.” The boy chirped happily. Draxum wasn’t convinced but he didn’t try to fight against him.
 And so Draxum was once again had found himself in a situation he never expected to be in, thanks to Michelangelo. He had no idea why, but the boy always found a way to make him join his ideas or do what he asked for. Maybe it was because of how it was almost impossible to escape Mikey’s persistence. (It was definitely not because he cared for the boys he had created. Not at all.)
 He looked at the costume again and sighed, he was gonna hate it.
 He hated it.
 Mikey had made him some sort of red imp like costume. Draxum had no idea how the boy had managed to get him wear it (maybe it was the fact behind his niceness he hid the scariest person known to a yokai). When the rest of boys and April had seen him, they burst into laughing. By the way they joked, he suspected that him they were very excited to see him like that for a long time. Leo made so many terrible jokes and teased him the whole time, more than others. So much that Draxum was sure even the others were tired of his puns. He also knew that Donnie and April had taken many pictures of him. All Draxum was glad nobody that knew his glorious days (other than the Hamatos) saw him like that.
 Eventually they moved to trick or treating part. He still didn’t understand any of this. A part of him wished people would let them do their trick, so he could show what powers he got and scare all of them. (He was sure that was the meaning of trick.) Just like the old days. Shame it wasn’t “safe or legal”. Humans seemed to be afraid of him even in this ridiculous costume, so that was somewhat better.
 As the night kept going on, Draxum noticed the many yokai walking among the streets. Some having fun, drinking and enjoying the night in a different way, some spending time by trying out or checking out normal human things and technologies. They all seemed very happy. Both humans and yokai… odd. Then he looked back at the boys. They seemed very happy too. Even Leonardo was not caring that Draxum tagged along (by Mikey’s force). It was different than any other night. One night free for all to walk among each other peacefully.
 Maybe Halloween wasn’t that bad.
 After a time, they finally returned to the lair, where Splinter laughed so much that he ended having cramps and a coughing fit. Draxum had retorted pointing out how stupid his costume looked, but Splinter paid no mind telling him how amazing it looked on him and that Draxum had no taste at all. Draxum disagreed, not understanding at all how the stupid fake teeth and cape looked amazing on him.
 Then as the teens examined the candies they collected (which was surprisingly a lot); Splinter began searching for something. He victoriously announced, “I found it!”
 “What is it, rat?” Draxum asked, more to kill time than being curious.
 “Lou Jitsu’s special edition horror movie marathons.” Splinter explained proudly.
 Draxum looked at the small box Splinter held. “I thought you were an action movie star?”
 Splinter stared at him, “You are so uncultured…. Thankfully tonight you will see some real good stuff.”
 Draxum rolled his eyes, “How even your movies considered good?”
 Draxum wouldn’t admit, but they were good. Not only Splinter’s old horror movies which were more of a comedy in Draxum’s opinion, but the other movies too. The most recent ones were mostly accurate about gore details too. When Draxum mentioned that it, Donnie gladly agreed pointing out some inaccuracies. As the two agreed, the rest of them were trying shushing them so they could watch the rest of the movie properly. Draxum heard how Leonardo whined, “There are two of them now”. Draxum ignored that comment, only thinking about how it meant that Donnie was good at catching details and had knowledge over that. Even though some parts made him uncomfortable, the boy had knowledge.
 At some point Raph fell asleep. Mikey, who was hiding under a blanket next to him trembled. Leo kept his hand on the blanket, watching the movie playing with candy bag in his lap. Donnie sat on the ground with his own candy bag, occasionally commending about the movie and whispering to April, who sat next to him some things about the movie. Splinter eventually fell asleep as well.
 Draxum found it interesting. How they didn’t mind him around. How this wasn’t as bad as he thought it would be (minus the costume). How it was tolerable to watch the teens joke around, scaring each other at times under the projector’s light.
 Hours passed, as the movie marathon continued one by one, they fell asleep. Draxum could stay awake longer if he wanted, but he let himself rest as well, as the rest of them slept deeply.
 At some point he heard someone getting on his feet, he felt a blanket on himself. Once he looked, he saw Splinter with another blanket, heading towards Leonardo. He had brought blankets and pillows for them all. Draxum didn’t understand why he would do that. (At least why would he bring him one. That didn’t make any sense.)
 Then Splinter saw him, “Go back sleeping before you wake them up Draxum,” he whispered. “It is three in the morning.”
 Draxum was going to say something, but he found himself not responding. Splinter was right, he could wake them up. So, he decided to not to say a word, and do as he told him to do. Meanwhile, Splinter went back to his spot, with a blanket and a pillow going back to sleep as well.
 As he fell asleep, Draxum thought. Maybe this was why it wasn’t that bad. Because even though he was forced to join them, they still included him. Because they showed him what Halloween was. And while Draxum would never say that to them, maybe it was great to spend time with this family, more than he ever thought it would be. After everything, perhaps this was a nice change…

Silliest sonic related headcanon? (About any character or anything in sonic)
YOU GET 2!!!
First, a Badget headcanon. :)
I like to think that Barry is relatively average in every way, but has alarmingly good eyesight in the dark due to their nocturnal heritage, but they’re like PARTICULARLY weirdly good at seeing in the dark to the point of bordering on supernatural?
I feel like when Barry and Gadget move in together, it becomes common place for Gadget to stumble into the kitchen at 3am and see the creepy glowing eyed silhouette of Barry sitting on the counter eating a pudding cup in the dark. And after the absolute heart attack they give him, when Gadget asks why the hell they do that, they very politely reply with “oh hi I didn’t wanna wake you up? <:)”
And now let’s talk about Sonic? (And additionally Tails and Shadow.)
I like to think that due to his constant traveling of the world, Sonic can speak like 15 different languages and specifically 6-7 of them fluently. This also includes morse code, which he learned for the hell of it with Tails and they like to tap messages at each other and giggle about it which makes people around them who don’t understand EXTREMELY insecure and confused.
Shadow got annoyed with this one day and finally started learning to translate whatever they’re so tickled over whenever he’s around, only to discover they’re sitting around tapping stupid things like “pee pee poo poo” at each other and he’s been pissed off about this ever since.

Imagine if Mikey (and possibly Raph) were still mad at Leo for keeping the fact Big Mama was their mother a secret for so long during their first fee visits with her and she picks up on that.
"Darling, ehat got you so upset?" She'd ask on maybe their second visit amd Mikey just... goes intl this rant about how he and Leo had an argument about Narln Draxum and how he mutated them and how it wasn't fair that Leo has known about her being their biological mother for months and kept it hidden and only to them that when he was trying to bring Barry closer to their family! Mama listens closely and eventually is able to piece together why Leo and Donnie started visiting her before the other two and how they came to know of her parentage of them and decides to confirm,
"When was this?"
"Cojple weeks ago..." Mikey sniffles, "I just wanted a nlce family dinner, but everyone hated it, and Leo was really mad! Mad enough to tell us you were our mom, and Barry wasn't our other parent just because he created the ooze that mutated us... I don't know why he kept it secret so long of he's known since the thing with Shredder!"
Mama could see why he'd kept it hidden so long, it was written all over his fave when she'd told him the rat bad claimed him to be her long lost son shortly before tossing him into the arena those months ago, it'd been in how he tried to hide how uncertain amd awkward he was when he came to visit, how despite Leo being better at negotiations his twin had taken charge of most of their conversation thag first visit and how emotionally charged and hysterical be was whenever he had spoken to her, the context of tbe qjestion, his ever present need to see proof.
Leo had been in denial and hadn't wanted to bring the matter up until he could get the entire story and confirm the matter either from his father or from herself. It made perfect sense to the yokai spider5 would have done much the same if she had learned such frightening and life banging information in such a volatile situation, and it also confirmed to her that stupid rat really had kept her existence hidden form ber boys and done everything in his power to keep thay information from them.
She wanted to kill Lou Jitsu for that.
"I believe he himself might have been confused on the matter and, with what recent revelations I could gather had happened to you poor dearies, he hadn't wanted to bring it up until he himself could confirm the information, like any good information broker should." She tries to explain, aware that her twins may not have told them of their recent visits either, "I certainly would have done much the same knhis situation."
"But if he wasn't sure if it was real or not, why couldn't he have asked us for help!? He and Donnie could be here with us to meet you right now instead of just Raph and me alone! We could have figured it out together!"
"That's something you'd have to ask him. I may be a spider, but I certainly can't read minds or know his motivations, I don't know your brother well enough. But if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say he was trying to protect you."
Aww, this is so sweet, with Mama trying to reassure Mikey like that. B/c i'd imagine Mikey was quite upset about not being told this for so long (particularly if he thinks the reason was b/c Leo doesn't trust him.)
Thank you!

ayi’s obx season 3 thoughts:
this is clearly a personal take on the season and these are my opinions, so *dips away*
shoo shoo there’s tons of spoilers here
when i tell you that pope heyward is my main man, i am bringing it with me to my grave.
emphasizing more about pope as this elaborative list goes on
poguelandia is heaven on earth, for real. but ngl i was deadass scared for them because
I CANNOT for the life of me SEE MY 17 YEAR OLD SELF survive in an island even with company around
not joking here, i am clearly amazed with how the pogues are able to live off in an island for about a month (well because it’s fictional) but realistically looking i just can’t pin my head around the idea of it (I DON’T HATE IT BTW)
we were robbed of the friendship scenes
i wish the first two episodes at least showcased the pogues’ life and the poguelandia lifestyle itself
coz that way i would’ve seen what happened to the other pogues when jj proclaimed that the island would be named poguelandia (like imagine how sarah or john b would say “what?” and then pope and kie would agree and be like “poguelandia, that’s it” and jj excitingly goes “pogue-fucking-glandia”) IDK JUST SPITBALLING HERE
haha get it! ok next
rafe did not shine in this season for me sadly
the buzz cut was alright btw
i feel like with singh around rafe clearly became a side character, even ward. like from the way i see it ward and rafe are the villains of the story from season 1-2 but with singh around it looked like rafe was just a side character
i was surprised with the kie and rafe storyline and i was actually expecting more but they gave us 1??? ep and poof that’s it
KIE PUSHING HIM OFF THE BOAT LMFAO i want to feel bad but homeboy strangled my darling THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO GO
back to singh,, he’s such a boring villain please is it just me?
rafe imo is the biggest villain of all.
he’d be a better villain than ward and singh combined idk i just like how drew portrayed rafe’s character !! (WE LOVE YOU DREW)
RAFE AND BARRY AGAIN YUH and i have to say barry looked good w the buzz cut too
i was so confused w rafe’s “love interest” i’m sorry i thought there was supposed to be a storyline between them ?? but ok they look gOOD THO OMYGAWSH
why the fuck is big john here ? why is he hogging the screen time
there is not one episode where i did not think of not wanting to slap the look on big john’s face
bring it home john b- SHUT UP?
idk he’s a bad parent ,, he left john b for HIS safety and justified is as keeping john b safe. not knowing that john b would come after his dad (right? season 1) and look where that got him. danger bestie ,, not so much of a thinker there big john 😕
he showed much more attention to the treasure than his kid PLEASE
the way john b felt so down and guilty and everything negative whenever big john convinced him that what they were doing (k!lling those ppl, stealing, breaking and entering etc) was for their own good because apparently it’ll lead them to the treasure COME ON NOW
did not like how big john treated sarah and the rest esp sarah
SARAH AND TOPPER COME ON NOW WHAT
topper you need to move on bestie…
i thought we were better than this sarah :’( did not like how things went down w her and topper
i thought topper was gonna have a storyline where he gets to officially join the pogues but this is a long shot esp for topper’s character like ik we can all agree that he’d do anything for sarah but joining the pogues?? being one of them?? no right
i do understand how topper can’t move on from sarah but dude *snaps fingers* we gotta go bestie
topper “i’m so mature, i’m so mature” thorton like come on bestie the gasoline? the fire?
the chateau :((((
kie and jj’s chateau scene before the 💥 >>>>
did i mention how we were robbed of the friendship scenes?
i feel like if the scenes weren’t too focused on big john we’d get a whole lot more juice with jj and kiara’s story, the START of pope and cleo’s love story, cleo’s friendship with everyone
i also think that cleo is one of the best additions to the team. she’s got so much to offer and she had her spotlight in this season for real
pope and cleo’s bedroom scene (MY FUCKING HEART HURTS)
“thank you, pope” SUCH AN UNDERRATED SCENE CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS :((
i freaking hate kie’s parents. period
sarah and john b aww
sarah has the heart of a pogue FOR SURE the gang wouldn’t be where they are if she didn’t understand the clue right away 😎
WE DIDNT SEE MORE OF WHEEZIE BABYGIRL
jj and kiara. that’s it
i was wondering why wouldn’t the school reconsider pope’s situation? he went missing… or maybe is it just the system? i���m not from the west so idk /gen
i will bring this on my grave: pope is a fucking legend.
pope deserves everything he has. i love him and his friends, his family, i love his mind and heart and soul.
“the no love club,” “no chance *swaying w rizz*”
IVE BEEN PICKING MANGOES SINCE I WAS A YOUTH
jimmy 👶
the season was ok but honestly i need more of it
POPE AND CLEO YES MY FUCKING ENDGAME

Scamming me, scamming you: chapter 3
Sometimes you just make your sister and her definitely-not-boyfriend lunch and drop it by to them at work for absolutely no reason. Thank goodness there won’t be any further confusion.
Read on A03 or below. Ch 1 | Ch 2
Taako had texted Lup mid-morning to ask if she and Barry were going to be free for lunch. It made more sense than stopping by without any warning at all. As much as he wanted to surprise them, she and Barry often ended up diving off to obscure archives or locked in the labs observing contamination protocols. Taako refused to waste time cooking if they weren’t going to appreciate his genius.
The email from Krav had been a surprise. Not an unwelcome one, but just uncharacteristically forward. But then, it had been a few months now (on top of a year of pining), and, well, Taako had initially propositioned him (look, Krav looked really good in that suit, no jury could convict), so it wasn’t actually that forward when he thought about it. Fuck it, why not? He could message back again with suggestions, but as he was stopping by it might be a nice surprise to just make plans in person. Krav said he liked surprises, and today’s lunch would be Taako’s treat. Krav could arrange the next meal… and anything that came afterwards.
Three quick changes and a long hard stare in the mirror later, Taako grabbed the wicker basket and walked towards the University. Thankfully Lup had won the debate over which twin’s workplace to get the apartment closest to. They both knew it should be hers, but Taako had to at least pretend he thought he was long term at Fantasy Costco. He finally found a kitchen job which fit around school three weeks after they moved in. He’d graduated and worked four other jobs since then. Lup had just steadily worked her way up the chain at the university, she was even still based in the same building.
The campus was almost empty - the students were on break so the tree lined paths were mercifully peaceful. Taako couldn’t help but bounce slightly as he walked - he was finally getting that date with Kravitz, just under a year late, but still! His previous attempts at dating had been a nightmare because everyone just wanted a quick hook up. That had been fine, but he was sick of being appraised by strangers and getting to know new hands and new faces. He wanted someone to cook for and watch terrible films with, someone to send bad puns to without his friends working out he liked their nerdy humour.
Taako knew the route to Lup and Barry’s office easily. They’d put forward a compelling case for sharing after Lup’s first promotion, and the administration decided it wasn’t worth arguing. A slight misunderstanding (actual understanding?) of their relationship had led to the ‘Bluejeans-Taaco’ sign on the door and Taako grinned every time he saw it. Lup had initially alternated between complaining about it and refusing to get it removed whenever Taako mentioned that was an option. Barry had merely said it was “quite nice to see their names together like that actually… in a friendly way, you know?”
“Prepare your butts, chaboy’s in the house and he catered!” Taako knocked on the door and swung it open dramatically, posing with the basket of food.
“Prepare my butt? There’s dairy then?” Barry asked, arching an eyebrow.
“I would never!” Taako pretended to be offended. “How could I do something so cruel, so heinous, to you Barold? I know how careful you are about not ingesting cow juice.” Barry had the good grace to look mildly ashamed about his inability to resist cheese.
Taako glanced around the office as he walked in, just casually, in case anyone else may have been there for a meeting or something. He wasn’t looking for anyone in particular, obviously.
“He’s in his office, Ko.” Lup said, clocking his glances.
“I don’t know to whom you’re referring, actually. Just making sure that I wasn’t rudely ignoring anyone who may also have happened to be here. I was being polite.” Taako focused very hard on unpacking the basket onto the wide desk and not looking at Lup, he didn’t want to see her stupid smug smile. They were absolutely not going to talk about this and he wasn’t going to admit that ‘bumping’ into Krav was a big part of why he came in.
“Looks like you’ve made an awful lot there, bud.” Barry, the traitor, said. Taako was trying to work out exactly how to threaten him into shutting right the fuck up, when Lup jumped up.
“Oh, I just remembered that I left something in Kravitz’s office when I was speaking to him earlier. I’d better go get it. Shall I tell him there’s extra food if he’d like any?” Lup smiled, face infuriatingly passive.
“I could go get it!” Taako replied before he could stop himself.
“Really, brother mine? You’d be so kind, so generous, as to go and get my pen from the hot boy? You’re selfless!” Lup was smirking now. So okay, she knew exactly what was going on because she could read him like a book, and yes she was completely right, but there was no way Taako was admitting it. He didn’t need to be called out like this.
“Well it’s your lunch break, so you’re supposed to be actually having a break. Plus, what if he has allergies? You might get him all the way over here and then it turns out he can’t have nuts and your colleague is dead because you didn’t know what to tell him if he asked if it was safe.” Taako shrugged his shoulders as if that was a completely reasonable justification… because it was, obviously.
“Uh huh.” Lup replied, suspiciously. “So I could go get my own pen but also tell him to check with you before he eats anything if he wants some of the food, and that would also save his life?”
“I thought you were all about efficiency!” Taako was indignant now. It wasn’t that bad a lie. He was being responsible! Allergies were important, no matter how fast and loose Barry played it with his.
“Which pen is it I’m missing?” Lup asked.
“I assumed I’d just ask Krav for your pen. Surely he’ll know which one isn’t his?” There, logic.
“It’s a… company issue pen. They might look the same.” Lup fumbled the landing on that one, and Taako smelled blood.
“There isn’t a pen!” Taako accused. “You just wanted to go get Kravitz and make him come here!”
“Well you don’t actually want to get my pen, you’re only here to see him!” Lup accused right back. “I’m doing you a favour!”
Their bickering was interrupted by a knock on the door. Both twins snapped round, and Barry let out a giggle… Taako made a mental note to ‘accidentally’ shove him into Lup some time and see how red he got.
“Hello? Lup? Barry?” Kravitz pushed the door open tentatively.
Taako quickly perched himself on the desk, making sure to elongate his body in the most alluring but-definitely-completely-casual way possible.
“Hey Kravitz!” Barry said happily, massive smile plastered across his face. “You’ve shown up at just the right time, look at this spread!” Barry gestured expansively to the food on the desk, and ended by indicating Taako himself.
Kravitz froze.
Taako grinned.
Kravitz stayed frozen.
Okay, he looked good, he knew he looked good, and lunch was nice, but this was overkill.
“You okay, my guy?” Taako asked.
Kravitz opened his mouth a few times, then looked at his feet. “Yep!” He managed.
Huh. Surely a conversation shouldn’t be this difficult. They’d been emailing for months! Kravitz had asked him out! Although, maybe the first meeting after that featuring his sister and Barry wasn’t ideal? Yeah, that was probably it. Krav was just embarrassed to show too much emotion in front of his colleagues. The man was a professional. It was okay, Taako could fix this.
“Lup lost her pen!” Taako announced loudly.
Kravitz looked at him like he might be broken. “I.. I’m sorry?”
“Lup lost her pen, in your office. I was going to go and get it for her.” Perfect, perfectly normal. Taako couldn’t work out why Kravitz was still looking concerned. This was a flawless plan, they could go get the pen together, have a nice private chat, maybe get a few smooches in with Taako perched on Krav’s desk, and then set their date up. Not necessarily in that order, he was flexible.
“You know what, it’s a very important pen…” Lup said, getting up. “...and Barry and I are going to go get it, aren’t we Barry?” Lup said pointedly, and tugged a reluctant looking Barry to his feet. It looked for a second like he might try and fight her, but then shrugged and allowed himself to be towed out of the door, staring longingly at Lup’s hand on his arm.
There was an awkward silence.
“So… Hi!” Said Taako.
Kravitz looked terrified. Taako glanced down, was something wrong with him? Had he stepped in something on the way here?
“Surprise! I brought food.” Taako powered on. This wasn’t going quite the way he anticipated.
“I… wow. There’s… this looks lovely.” Kravitz stopped staring at Taako as if he might bite him and looked down at the food instead.
Okay, Taako could talk about food, Taako could talk about food for days. He explained each dish to Krav, told him what paired well (all of it, because Taako’s cheffing skills were impeccable), and then deposited a plate into his hands. “There you go, Stud. Have at it.”
Krav looked like he might be sick. This was not the usual reaction to his cooking, joy, yes. People ignoring him to dive on in? Absolutely. This haunted look of shock? Not so much. Kravitz looked down at the spread in front of him, back at Taako, and took a deep breath. “Taako, I… I’m so sorry about what happened at the Candlenights party. I just didn’t realise, I thought you were Lup and I really like Barry and I thought that it was some plot to make him jealous so he finally told her he liked her, but it didn’t make sense because they both knew I was gay. I was so confused, and I didn’t meant to shout at you I just didn’t want to get caught up in anything weird.” He spilled everything out in a rush.
This was sweet, Taako decided. Krav wanted to make sure the air was clear before they went out formally, and, to be fair, they hadn’t talked about the Candlenights party in their emails. Taako had assumed they’d just mutually agreed to pretend it didn’t happen - Krav had apologised to Lup for yelling at Taako, she had apologised to Kravitz for forgetting to mention Taako existed. Taako maintained that he was blameless because Krav was supremely hot.
“Hey, Kemosabe, we’re good! You could have just said something if this was eating at you. You already made good with Lup and I plead not guilty on account of how good your ass looked in that suit.” Taako winked, smiled his most dazzling smile, and hoped that maybe this could segue them into dinner plans ‘I’ll reintroduce you to me in that suit if you’re free Friday?’ or something. Instead, Kravitz’s eyes widened in panic and he stared intently down at the table in front of him again.
“Noodles are nice!” Kravitz said suddenly. Grabbing a fork and ineffectually trying to scoop some onto his plate.
“Do, er, do you want a hand there, Krav?” Asked Taako, bemused. Was this because he was nervous? It made sense, Taako was A Lot, and he knew today that he was visually A Lot as well. Perhaps Krav was just overwhelmed? How often did someone who looked this good bring him a spread like this to work? Taako wagered never. That was the kind of thing that could easily throw a guy off kilter, especially if he wasn’t used to being spoiled.
Kravitz looked even more startled and dropped the fork. “Taako, why did you call me that?” Kravitz asked, a slight edge of concern to his voice.
He must be on edge - calling him his name was an issue now? Did he just hate the nickname and never knew how to bring it up? “It’s a really obvious nickname, my guy. Krav-itz.” Taako moved his hand in a circular motion, waiting for him to get it. “Krav… itz.” He finished lamely. “Surely everyone calls you that? You can’t tell me everyone is using all of the syllables all of the time?” Taako tried not to let any irritation into his voice, but this was peculiar behaviour. "If you don't like it I can stop?"
“No... it's. Most people use Kravitz. I'm not the kind of guy people give nicknames to.” Kravitz said, staring very intently at the desk. Taako felt his heart soften again. Krav had been fairly candid in the emails and he knew that sometimes social interaction wasn't the easiest for him. He reached out his hand with the intention of laying it on Krav's shoulder to reassure him. Before he could, Kravitz snapped his eyes to the door. “I, I just remembered I saw Lup’s pen, I’m going to help them find it!”
“Wait!” Taako said quickly, he didn’t want Krav to leave it like this. Something weird had happened and he had no idea what. “At least take some noodles. Here.” Taako began scooping them. If Krav at least tasted the food he’d have to come back and compliment Taako on it later? Why was this so weird? Fuck. Did they only work via email? This was the second time they’d met in person and yeah, okay, Kravitz hadn’t yelled at him about HR yet, but he was still being really weird.
As Taako worked, Kravitz alternated between sneaking not-so-subtle glances at Taako and eying the door longingly. He obediently held out his hand when Taako offered the food. Taako couldn’t pass up the chance to brush his fingers against Krav’s as he handed it over and gave him another wink. “Thank you, Taako.” Kravitz said stiffly. Then he looked down at the plate, at Taako’s hand still resting against his, and softened. “I really appreciate it, this looks so good.” He added, sounding more sincere, face melting into a slight smile. That was more like it, and Taako hoped for a moment that this might mean he was going to stay, or at least ask him out properly. There was definitely something sparking between them, Taako could just lean forward and…
Kravitz pulled away. “Anyway, I… uh. I’m… pen!” Kravitz turned abruptly and walked to the door, glancing back longingly before he closed the door behind him.
At least, Taako though, he got another good look at Krav's ass as he left to go and help Lup and Barry look for the imaginary pen. Taako shrugged, grabbed a plate, snagged Lup’s desk chair, and kicked his feet up. May as well eat in comfort if no one was going to keep him company. Academics were nightmare people.

Saw your latest art, and Geeta and Diantha are definitely rumoured to be dating despite just being friends. These two idiots will spend the day with each other then share a bed and be confused about the rumours
Also I know you have your Villain Diantha AU, and her whole reason is that she wants to get rid of those she herself deems “filth” or “to far gone” so that the world is a better place and she can rule/dictate the planet
But what about the other champions? If in separated AUs why would they become the villains of their worlds? What caused them to go down a separate path then their original counterparts?
No but fr tho imagine all the fucking rumours Dia has to hear from her manager abt her and Geeta tho hahaha these two are like the definition of kissing the homies goodnight and they can somewhat do it in the most platonic way like they'll sleep together whenever they're staying at another champion's or each other's place and the first time Geeta joined them the others also thought she and Dia were dating hahaha
And ohhh👀👀
Ngl tho, the villain Dia au was originally villain Lance bc I did write two chapters of it too, and he got Giratina from Cyrus hahaha so in a nutshell it's the same corrupted Galar League bc of Rose thing and Lance went all knight mode and killed Rose for Diantha. But another concept I thought that maybe he did snap sometime before that bc people kinda look down on him despite being the Indigo Champion now, as they know Red and Green are still around and those two just probs gave Lance that title bc they dont want it anymore, leading different lives now. And Lance didn't really take that well bc hey, he's a strong trainer y'know, ofc he's Champion, but still people kinda see him as a stand in for Red and Green and he fucking hates it, so during the tournament he went above and beyond to try and beat everyone, and if they're close to winning against him, well.. Dragonite's Hyper Beam will be the last thing they'll see
Idk how'd Steven would be villain tho bc of all the champions I see him as the kindest and the most open minded, so he'd probs have no problems other than the ones he buried for so long na. I do wanna say that maybe he does see Wallace struggling tho, and maybe he would want to change the world for him and Lisia bc hey, those two are his family now too, he loves them very much, and he doesn't like seeing Wallace struggle anymore, so maybe he would do a Diantha and change the world for the one he loves. Tho, unlike Dia, I imagine Steven as a villain to be the kind that's extremely inconspicuous, more so than Diantha. Like legitimately no one knows he's behind every shitty thing that's happening to those who don't like Wallace, bc unlike Dia who showed herself to Malva, Steven kept quiet and just watched from the sidelines
Same w Wallace ngl, but I also think that if smth were to happen to Lisia, he would snap and lash out on everyone. Think of Team Aqua, but tenfold, it didn't help he's the Guardian of Sootopolis too, this mf knows where Kyogre is and knows just what to do for the legendary Mon to bow to his will, and soon everyone will die in the same sorrowful waters that drowned him
God villain Cynthia is also reallyyyyy *wild hand gestures* cause like imagine her similar to Volo, acting all friendly then stabbing the trainer in the back. She knows abt Galactic and tried to "help" Dawn and Barry on stopping them, but she never really stopped them y'know, if you catch my drift. Like she's equally curious what Cyrus would do, what would happen if they open the portal to the Distortion World, and she did find out abt it. She watched Cyrus die in front of her, watched Dawn battle Giratina, and stared Giratina dead in the eyes, telling it that if he joins her, he'll finally escape the Distortion World and let the people see just how much more powerful he is compared to Arceus. And ough smth smth Giratina seeing Volo in Cynthia's place, sees the potential in Cynthia, and God imagine if Giratina did possess Cynthia tho, and Cynthia's playing along too bc now people really know she's unbeatable, now that she's a god.
Iris and Hau I can't imagine them as villains but I can imagine the others becoming villains for them. like,, back then I had this concept, y'know the song Hell's Coming With Me by Poor Man's Poison? I have this thought that people really looked down on them so much that the two became ashamed of showing themselves to the public, but Iris was pissed y'know, and made a vow that when she and Hau returns then all hell will break lose, she will make sure of it. The people thought she was just bluffing, but then suddenly all the champions went against the people of their region, against those who look down on Iris and Hau especially, and the two are just happy y'know that the other champions are "taking care" of em by taking out the people who shit talked them
Leon,, same w Wallace?? Like if smth happened to Hop? Cause he does care abt his bro y'know. But I also wanna add that maybe Rose did smth to Hop when Leon was acting out of line and that was the final straw for Leon and really up and killed Rose, bc Lee really couldn't bare the thought of smth happening to his brother, and if he's going to make sure nothing bad ever happens to the one he loves too (so basically like Diantha, do you see now why these two make me so fucking ill like cjmsndmd)
Ough Geeta my guy so in my hcs she's like,, she's struggling w feeling empathy, y'know, any sort of emotion really. And she's trying, and Diantha's helping her and such, but I also wanna say in the Villain Geeta au, as much as she loves Diantha, she also doesn't listen to her much. So most of the time she feels kinda empty, even though Diantha's helping her. I wanna say in this au, she did know what happened to Sada/Turo, and she was there when it happened, she knows what will happen, but she never warned them of the danger, bc maybe if smth happened to them she'd feel something too. And when they died, she didn't feel anything but the thrill of watching them dying over their own research. She didn't understand why, perhaps they weren't that close, but there's smth abt it y'know, watching others suffer that makes her feel some sort of thing, and it made her feel alive. Tho w this bc I'm trash for these two, if Dia did get hurt tho, that's when Geeta would really feel absolute anger, if those who hurt Dia won't die naturally, then she'll kill them herself. After all, it's one thing to feel that thrill watching someone die, imagine how much more she'd feel if she's the one to actually kill them

The foreshadowing with Trelawney was pretty good actually. I love some good foreshadowing and that hit the spot. Same with Sevs foreshadowing
Have a happy day! 💚

The Aftermath - 1/1 | RC - 8x20
A/N: Iris lets Barry off easy in this one, but after finally watching all of season 8, it feels the most realistic to how her character is written. I will be starting a multi soon where that is not the case. Stay tuned.
...
Synopsis: 8x20 - Barry apologizes and makes up for lost time: an extended version of their last scene in the episode.
...
The fire crackling in the fireplace and the lights turned down low, the two of them snuggled close on the couch as they watched the flames, it felt…perfect. Or as near perfect as it could get for the Flash and the love of his life.
“I never wanna let you go.”
Iris smiled, indulging in the feel of his caresses on her arms.
“Then don’t. Barry, I could stay like this all week.”
He smiled too, in disbelief she was finally in his arms again but glad for it, tenfold.
“That works for me.” He hesitated, the flirty banter enjoyable but not quite what he needed to say, the fear he’d felt prickling at him…and the guilt. “Iris, last night I thought I lost you forever. Because I couldn’t feel our connection.”
“Yeah, when I was in the time stone, I couldn’t feel you either. That’s why I knew I had to get back to you.” She leaned her head back on his shoulder. “So, I reignited our spark.”
There was a teasing lilt to her voice, but only confusion and curiosity clouded his mind.
“How?”
Iris waited a beat, then turned around in his arms and smiled.
“You’re my lightning rod too.”
Before he could respond to that, because she didn’t really explain, she kissed him, and he felt a heady buzz that made him smile. It didn’t matter the how, because they were together now, and their connection would always be there, whether they could feel it or not.
“Thank you,” he said softly, stirring her flirtatious tone again.
“Seriously? I mean, I know I’ve been gone for a while, but-”
“For reminding me, that even the Flash has limits. Thawne couldn’t accept that about himself, which is why he didn’t survive.”
Her face shifted, growing more serious.
“Barry, you know the negative speed force will need to find a new avatar.”
“I know. Because the universe is all about balance, which means that one day the negative forces will have to pick one.”
“I wonder who they’ll choose…” she trailed off.
“We won’t know until it happens. But whenever that day comes, and whoever that avatar is, we’ll be ready for them.”
Iris nodded in agreement, and Barry could see the hint of flirtation appearing on those beautiful, luscious lips of hers, that he so much wanted to drown himself in, but first…
“In the meantime…” She leaned in, her eyes sparkling before they started to close.
“Wait, Iris.” He moved his face out of reach so her lips couldn’t meet their target.
She pulled back.
“Denied again? What does a girl have to do to get her man to kiss her?” she teased, but he could tell she was slightly annoyed.
“I want to kiss you,” he assured her. “I want to be kissed.”
“Well then let’s not waste any more time, shall we?”
She tried again, and he gripped her arm gently to stop her.
“First, I need to apologize.”
She frowned, abandoning her advances.
“What for?”
“I think you know what, Iris.” She tilted her head in confusion. “You were in the still force for weeks, a month even. You saw…I wasn’t looking for you.”
“Barry-”
“I tried, at first, got tricked by negative Deon, and I felt that you were okay when I got out.”
“Because I was,” she interjected. “Barry, all that time? I was just…particles floating around somewhere in time. When I finally re-materialized, I was in 2049 and future me was gone. There’s no way you could have found me, even if you had been looking.”
“So, instead I what? Played DND? Worried about getting gray hair? Trained a new speedster?”
“Bar-”
“No, listen to me. When you were trapped in the Mirrorverse, I spent every waking moment focused on trying to find a way to bring you back. And when I wasn’t actively brainstorming, I was just…I was miserable. But this time I…I don’t know, I just put it aside, because I was so sure you were alright. But you weren’t.” He sighed. “I don’t know how I would have even tried finding you when I couldn’t in the still force the first time, but I could’ve tried harder, Iris. I could’ve tried period.”
Tears filled his eyes.
“You mean the world to me, Iris. When I thought you were gone and that I had killed you-”
“Don’t even go there, Barry.”
“It’s true though. I did nothing for weeks, and then my lightning bolt killed you.”
“What do you want me to say, Barry? That I wish you had tried harder? That I felt like you didn’t care about me enough to try after that first time? I couldn’t tell you, because I don’t remember. I remember being in my office, and then suddenly I was in our loft in 2049 in front of our kids. I had flashes of the past, of what you’d been up to, but it was all a trick from the negative forces. They controlled all of it. You want to make it up to me? Then be with me now, in the moment.” She cupped his face, looking deep into his eyes. “And don’t let me go again.”
He searched her eyes wanting more, wanting her to be mad at him, to scream, for him to have to beg for forgiveness for weeks on end, something for all the guilt he felt for how he’d abandoned her in her most desperate hour.
But he realized now that she’d forgiven him long before now. He didn’t know how she could, and he was certain he didn’t deserve it, but if this was her giving him another shot, he wasn’t going to let it go to waste.
His lips collided with hers, drugging her with intoxication. Tongues tangling and soon tops being lifted off and tossed aside, everything he felt became fuel to release his emotions, to show his wife how much he loved her and missed her and wanted to be with her, even if he hadn’t acted on it in those weeks apart.
He gently laid her back on the couch and unbuckled her belt, pulling her jeans down, then her panties and depositing them on the floor. He yanked off her socks and tickled her feet, making her giggle. Then he got up and rid himself of his own pants and underwear, hovering over her in a heartbeat.
She draped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer.
“You know, once upon a time we were trying for a baby.”
Iris groaned.
“Oh, babe, if we don’t get going on this, I fear Nora West-Allen may never be born.”
“Well, we can’t have that,” he teased.
She shook her head, grinning.
“Nope.”
He sealed the promise with another scorching kiss that grew in its intensity as he moved her legs apart, pumped his cock to harden it and pushed inside of her.
Pillows fell to the floor, and Iris’ head fell back, crying out with the depth of his strokes. Her nails dug into his skin and scraped his scalp and backside, stirring the lightning inside of him to crackle in his eyes when they met hers. He kissed her at their highest intensity, and for just a moment lightning appeared in her eyes too.
“There’s that spark,” she said, huskily. “Now fuck me, baby. Fuck me till I can’t breathe.”
He grunted and pressed his head into the crook of her neck, drilling into her until she was practically screaming, each thrust hard and hot and throbbing inside her. The intensity was overwhelming until finally she pushed at him to lean back on the opposite side of the couch, and she rode him, grinding on his cock and thrilling in his hands squeezing her ass cheeks and slapping them too.
She laughed, and she moaned, and she kissed him, and she bounced until his cum was bursting inside of her, and she was dizzy with excitement and the most overwhelming orgasm she’d experienced in, well…a long time.
Breathless, she collapsed, and his arms encircled her. He kissed her shoulder and nuzzled into the nape of her neck, leaving little kisses there too.
“Just stay with me, Barry,” she said, lifting her head to frame his face. “That’s all I need.”
He nodded, still trying to catch his breath.
“I’m here,” he said, smiling tremulously. “Always.”

First, Prev
"Gir"
Finally something, Raph's gonna be so impressed with his interrogation skills.
"Do you have any questions? We could take turns.=}"
Barry finally enters the room, looking somewhat upset. He can't possibly be upset about the abduction. Sure, it's bad, but Barry's a war criminal. This is nothing compared to the things he's done.
"I expect you to clean that up later."
Or it could be about the mess in the hallway.
"Sorry, dad."
"As for you. Is there someone I should call to pick you up?"
For the first time the lizard yokai/mutant changed their facial expression. It went from compleatly dead faced to slightly confused. Oh no, are they an orphan? Or homeless? Or a runaway? What if splinter tries to keep them, like he tried to keep him?
______
"You're wasting your time, my parents won't pay you. I'll just escape on my own."
Gar hissed defensively. The goat-man looked somewhat shocked yet complacent at the statement. Like that stupid face Nightwing is always making. The 'I've heard this before, but I have to react differently from how I usually would' face.
"If you can walk you're welcome to walk out. Michelangelo will gladly show you the way." He said flatly.
"Or you could stay!" The turtle chirped excitedly. "You can live with me at the Nexus. I have-plenty-ofroom.Itcangetpretty boringreally.Especiallyduringfightseasonscausethere'snooneallowedinitsmuchbettertohavepeoplearounditjustgetskinda-"
Gar placed his hand over the strangers mouth without thinking. A shooting pain runs through his arm. He whimpers. Sometimes being every animal can really be a curse.
"Do you need help? We have a, a thing. The ones that go around." Michelangelo makes the sign for Bucharest Romania.
Is that where we are? Let's see, don't know anyone in Romania but it's right between Russia and Italy so they could be either Rita's or Valentia's enemies. Then again Gar wouldn't be surprised if Cliff had left a few of his of the list.
Gars train of suspicion is halted when Mikey brings out a sling and offers it to him. On second thought he might have been miming a sling.
______
"You can live with me at the Nexus. I have-plenty-ofroom.Itcangetprettyboringreally.Especiallyduringfightseasonscausethere'snooneallowedinitsmuchbettertohavepeoplearounditjustgetskinda-"
Gir reached towards Mikeys face. This is it. Only friends touch eachother, like Donnie says whenever Mikey tries to hug him. Mikey stops talking at his compleatly normal pace only to see his new best friend squeak with pain before closing the distance. Alright fine, they're not there yet. He just needs a bit mo-ooore friendship.
"Do you need help? We have a, a thing. The ones that go around." Mikey gestures from his sholder to his hips and Gir goes silent. Which Mikey takes as a yes and goes to get the sling. 'Friends help eachother' like Leo says whenever he wants to bask in the hotel pool. Gir has a faint look in his eyes. Almost looks, like an emotion.
______
______
This was a bad idea. This was a bad idea. If there's one thins Gar knows, it's that you never go to a second location. Although they have to be at the fourth or fifth location by now. So what's one more? Besides this hotel can't possibly be shadier than Madame Rouge' Academy for good litle meta-humans who do what they're told.

Friday Night in Hell AU BUT only the FNF Lullaby Mod Characters... PART 2?!?!
Yeah that's right, part 2. Containing some characters that were missed, and the OC's (including uh... a non Pokepasta character).
That's barring a few of them, which will be explained now:
Hypno - Exists, but isn't too different from the mod's canon.
Belze - Isn't he supposed to a devil? Well, regardless, not that different from canon.
HELL BELL - Not that much different from canon, but is here nonetheless.
Lord X and MX - Already made info about Lord X. MX though.. Uh... Let me get back to you on that b/c I don't know-
Alexis - Guardian Angel - A young girl who took her own life after so much relentless bullying for her choosing a Hypno as her starter. When she was brought into the world, she saw her Hypno again.. but very different. It seems like she is an angel, but sadly her Hypno cannot see her. She was assigned to protect Eve from the more dangerous spirits.
Dawn (Human name: Diana) - Demon - A human that got dragged into hell after being tricked by signing Belze's contract. She just wanted to play HER FUCKING GAME-!! Her transformation is what drags Bitter Barry into the Pokepasta world. She is very rebellious, and often watches over Gray. Her rebelliousness became too much for Belze, and he let her roam the 'upper realm' more often. She and Shinto have a minor rivalry with each other.
Green - Fallen Angel - A fallen angel who was bound to Mt. Silver as punishment for not protecting her Red from Blue. She is mostly found crying, but if you dare try to hurt Red.. you will have hell to pay. Even though she knows that Red is now killing people who cannot make it to shelter in time.
Mike's Heart - Shade - A shade that has separated from Mike's Spirit after he became a revenant (which caused it to flee in terror). It's scared of everyone, and ended up hiding in a random house.. Which happened to be Eve's. After getting over a brief moment of terror shared with Eve, it started to hide in Eve's shadow. It'll pull itself out and protect Eve and Ethan whenever Alexis and Silver are down for the count.
(And now for the section containing the OC's)
Eve - Human - She is a human that lives in the Pokepasta world now. She was pulled into the world by accident through Wally. She once had a crush on Gray, but she stopped because it was, in her own words, "Not my place to force fate onto another person". Strange girl. Anyways, she is protected by Alexis (and later, Mike's Heart), and later makes friends with Ethan and Silver.
Sugar - Mutated Sweets Demon - Being that she was created by a baker demon, you'd think she'd at least be a bit more stable? Well, she used to. But after that baker demon started adding more and more sweets, Sugar became extremely fucked up in more ways than one. She's basically just as dangerous as Mike, but way worse because she's a lot more animalistic in her motives.
Bitter Barry - Living Glitch - Someone who joined the Pokepasta world in search of his friend. It was she who made his life better, what gave him a purpose. He's not going to lose what little purpose he has. He's the reason that Eve and Gray don't like meeting up when Red's around, purely because these two will start arguing with each other. ESPECIALLY if either Red or Barry bring up their friends (Green and Diana respectively).
Anti-Cheat - Mimicry (Oh boy, I get to describe these guys finally) - Whilst not a Pokepasta, they snuck into this world when their dad (Caver) was not watching them. They look like Mr. Driller purely to confuse 'cheaters'. Sometimes they take the appearance of Wally to pull at people's heart strings! In the end though, it's always the same. The cheater will fall for Anti-Cheat's tricks, and bury themselves in the metaphorical grave they made. Sometimes they do try to escape from them, but their deaths arrive all the same!

CommonGround Ch.6
Gosh it’s been a minute huh? Okay, this has a quick Ryker tangent before diving into Barry and Ben shenanigans. This is a ramp up to some action and drama so stay tuned! 
Ryker couldn’t fucking believe this. 
It was bad enough having to wander this shithole all day without his brother, but now he was publicly humiliated by a tiny. Something his entire race has been embarrassed about as far as he could remember was that they hadn’t been able to lord over tines the way they did weaker giants. Tinies apparently had so much pride that they used their technology to actually threaten us back. GIANTS. And apparently that didn’t just apply to the eggheads back in tiny town or whatever. That runt is gonna pay. And SPIKE is gonna regret choosing the wrong side. 
Ryker was almost to the wall when he stopped and collected himself. His brother wasn’t to blame here, he’s just confused. He’s young and trying new things. He just needed a little…motivation to come home. To get back to what he’s supposed to be doing. 
Maybe he knew exactly how.
Ben had been in the hole for…a while. Things were not looking good. He’d run out of rations days ago and had been scavenging what he could find in cabinets and the like, but apparently the giant enjoyed never preparing any meals and eating only processed food delivered to him. It’d been two days since he’d last eaten and he knew it was going to get desperate soon. 
The giant seemed to think that he had left. The first few days of hiding the giant tried to find him, looking in every room several times and even cleaning up a bit as if looking for Ben in the trash, which he didn’t appreciate. But of course Ben never answered or even left the hole during that time, so the giant gave up, and Ben began watching his routine and abusing it to grab food whenever he could. 
The giant would wake up almost at sunrise every morning, which would be admirable if it was to do literally anything. You see, the rest of the day would consist of the giant watching something on a humongous television for several hours at a time before taking a break to order food or go to the bathroom. Sometimes he’d play with his phone and other times he’d read a book by the window but the giant never left the apartment or even went to another room during these days. It mostly made sense, seeing as this was in effect a jail cell, but it was still a little pathetic watching this on repeat. 
Until…
Ding dong!
Ben awoke a little later than normal today. Usually he was woken up by the giant entering the kitchen and making its white soup but as he poked his head out he realized the giant wasn’t there, in fact he was shuffling through the hall wearing nicer clothes than he’d ever seen him in as he went for the door. 
Was that a doorbell before?
Without thinking he began climbing out of the hole and launched himself into the air. Was this his chance to escape? Yes it had to be. Even with another giant in the way he promised himself that he’d just keep going. He needed to get out of here. 
The giant took a breath to prepare himself and Ben did the same, he was almost out. 
The giant lifted his phone to his ear and opened the door and just before Ben started moving he saw- a human?
A human woman stalked inside like she owned the place while another two giants stood guard at the door. Ben folded immediately. The human had given him too much pause and upon seeing the giants practically barricading the door he silently sulked. There was no way to leave this hellish apartment. 
“Looks a little better than last time Barry.” the woman exclaimed, looking around the apartment with a huff. “You do some cleaning?”
“A little more than usual, yeah. I dropped something and couldn’t find it.” 
The human woman laughed and shook her head, “If that’s all it takes you should pretend to drop things to give yourself a little motivation.” 
The giant, Barry, only nodded and the woman went about some kind of inspection. She tsked a lot at the giant for the state of the place and slowly made their way to the hall. Ben could only hear Barry’s responses now but even then it wasn’t much. The human must be doing most of the talking. 
It was slow going as the human commented on apparently every little thing and Barry slowly shuffled behind. Ben thought about booking it a few times but the giants at the door didn’t move an inch. Eventually, they made their way back to the front room and the human stopped just short of the door. 
“Well I am happy that your living arrangements are a little less crowded, but you really need to work harder if you want to be considered for some kind of parole Mr. Johnson.”
This caught Ben’s attention, as far as he knew most giants had crude last names that were usually on the nose, but this was a common HUMAN last name. And the giant responded! “Yes I know but…even then with the investigation going on I don’t think I’ll be given that opportunity any time soon.” 
The human cocked her head and her voice sounded sad, “Sure but at the end of the day that’s an excuse Barry, you shouldn’t do it for these inspections, you should do it for yourself.” 
Barry’s expression was unreadable, “I’ll keep that in mind.” 
The human shook her head and turned towards the door, “See you next month.”
“Yeah, see you.” 
She left and the giants vacated the doorway, Barry slowly shut the door and leaned his head against it. What on Earth did Ben just witness?
Before he could really comprehend it Barry lifted his head from the door after a moment and began walking into the kitchen. Ben didn’t have the time to stand and run from his prone position before the giant’s sad gaze locked onto him on top of the fridge and his expression became a lot less sad. 
“What the hell?! You were here the whole time?!” 
Ben’s instinct was to run but he couldn’t help his curiosity. Standing up to at least try and match eye level he spat, “Why do you have a human last name?” 
The amount of emotions that flashed through Barry’s face as he tried to comprehend what was going on was too many to count. Barry took a step back, which Ben appreciated, and took a deep breath, which sounded like howling wind from this close. 
“First of all, why are you still here? Dude it’s been weeks.” 
Ben didn’t want to admit he was so powerless as to not be able to leave, “You haven’t told me what I want to know. I can’t leave until I get an answer.” 
Barry seemed dumbfounded by this answer which solidified how poor the excuse was in Ben’s mind. Still, he couldn’t fold now. 
“Okay? So you’ve been squatting in my place. What have you been eating and drinking all this time?” 
Ben was confused with the direction this had taken, “What does it matter?” He eyed the hole behind the fridge. He wanted to run but the giant would surely discover his spot if he just went for it now. 
“A dead guy in my apartment wouldn’t really help my case? Can you just answer if you’ve been eating?”
“Can you just answer my questions already?” Ben huffed now more frustrated than afraid. 
“I don’t know where Seth lives now, I don’t even know what you want with him so even if I did, why would I tell a creepy home invader like you?” 
Offended more than frustrated now Ben took a step forward in anger, “I wouldn’t spend a MILLISECOND in this dump if it wasn’t for your tight lipped bullshit! Give me SOMETHING and let me out so I can do what I came here to!” 
Barry leaned against the island counter with his arms crossed, his face scrunching up tightly, “Are you…related to Seth?” 
Ben felt as if the ground below him had completely disappeared, he tried not to react but could tell as his anger peaked and he couldn’t help it. A GIANT should NOT  be able to peg him like this. What the hell was going on?!
“Okay so I was right.” He pulled out his phone and started pulling something up. 
“You’re not going to call him are you?” Ben couldn’t help but ask. The mission was going to be completely compromised if Seth was warned about him. 
“I’m not allowed to contact tinies but I can give you his number for you to talk to him.” He gently held his phone out for Ben to see and he quickly read the number over and over to memorize it. Not that he could use it…
“Done? That should be enough. And since this is family business I definitely don’t want to get involved. You have everything I can give you.” 
Ben narrowed his eyes, what was he supposed to do now. “That’s false. You can still give me the answer to the human last name.” 
Barry’s eye twitched, “That’s really none of your business and I’m starting to think you just want free food because you refuse to leave.” 
A part of Ben wanted to say, make me, but unfortunately another part spoke before that, his stomach growling completely involuntarily at the mentioning of food. And, unfortunately, the giant was close enough to hear it. 
“Wait…” 
“Nevermind! Just tell me where Seth lives and let a breeze in here it stinks!” Ben tried to deflect what had just happened and come up with a clever way to get out but the giant had a look on his face Ben had never seen before, and if he was honest with himself, it was scary.
“Stay there for a second.” Barry simply said before moving through the kitchen with purpose. He started pulling pots and pans from drawers. What was he doing? Ben briefly remembered the folk tales of giants eating humans in the dark ages, why did that get passed around when they were kids? Why are kids so morbid? 
He watched Barry pull dry, and inedible, food from various cabinets and seemed to work through a strange process to cook everything. Ben admitted that the culinary inventions were always too complicated and tiresome to actually attempt himself, but the giant did it all with ease. It seemed like a strange hybrid of the giant's food with human cooking techniques. Fusion…human last name. That was going to bother him. 
After barely five minutes, whatever it was was ready, and Barry cut an appropriate portion out for Ben. 
“Sorry I only have paper plates.”  he apologized before putting the portion on a plate bigger than him. He then turned and looked at Ben’s awkward position on top of the fridge. “Do you want to come down-?” 
“No!” Ben was quick to say. “The last thing I want is to climb on the plate for you.” 
Barry’s face twisted into one of disgust before rolling his eyes. “Then how are you going to eat this?” 
“Who said I’m going to eat that? I don’t even know what that is!” Ben refuted, though the smell was getting to him, he could feel himself salivating but refused to indulge himself…yet.
“It’s grits and eggs,” he said simply. These words meant nothing to Ben, and Barry could tell. “What have you been eating while you’ve been here?” 
“None of your business…”  Ben could feel his will breaking. He didn’t want to talk anymore, he just wanted to eat. Fuck. “I’ll-I’ll just back up and you can put it up here. And then you can leave the room.” 
Barry didn’t seem amused but relinquished. When Ben had moved as far as he could the giant placed the plate in front of him. Ben could barely restrain himself as Barry was walking away. “I’ll be back in five or so minutes, if you want anything else.” 
As soon as he was out of sight Ben climbed onto the plate, the texture changed to the slightly foamy and he would’ve taken at least a moment to consider how uncomfortable that is but primal instincts were clearly overpowering him. Without even any cutlery Ben began eating with his hands, shoving some yellow substance into his mouth and-
Oh my god.
Once the first mouthful hit his taste buds all thought and awareness left him as the next few minutes were dedicated to filling his stomach with one of the most delicious things he had ever had. Of course, that was only because he was starving. 
Before he knew it, he’d cleaned the plate, he considered licking it but started to regain his humanity just in time. He panted, now wishing he had something to drink after his first actual meal in weeks. 
“I guess you liked it?” 
Ben jumped as he heard the voice and forced himself onto his feet. Barry was back, he was wearing different clothes, more akin to what he usually wore, which is to say rags. He was approaching the kitchen and Ben slammed the trigger on his spear and rocketed into the air away from the plate. Barry raised an eyebrow as he arrived right in front of the fridge. 
“You’re done then?” 
“Yes.” 
“No thank you?” 
Ben didn’t really know how to answer that, he couldn’t think of a retort so he simply stared. Barry shrugged it off and grabbed the plate from the fridge. “If you don’t want anymore I’m going to use this.” 
With that, Barry went back to the stove top and started filling the plate with tremendous amounts of the same food. He cleared the pots completely and retrieved a fork from a drawer nearby. He then froze with some kind of realization and turned back to him. “Oh, I didn’t give you silverware.” 
Ben now found something to say, “Yeah thanks a lot.”  he landed back onto the fridge now holding his hands out in front of him as if he couldn’t bare to look at them. 
“Oh please, do you want a napkin or-” 
Ben quickly thought of something much more appealing, “Or a shower?” 
Barry grimaced, “So you heard everything? Do you have nothing better to do?” 
Ben almost said no but held it back, “I haven’t been able to get a shower, and it’s not like you’re using it.” 
“What would I use it for?” Barry asked with a surprising amount of humor in his voice. 
“Well it’s in your apartment.” Ben threw back, “Besides I haven’t had a shower in a while.” 
“Sure I don’t care.” he began eating
Ben was surprised there weren't any more retorts but took advantage of the permission and zipped across the ceiling and out of the kitchen since the first time he’d arrived. He could tell Barry was watching him but tried to ignore the gaze. He flew into the empty room that he now knew once held his brother. Perhaps there was some kind of clue for him to find among the trash, but first. 
Not wanting to strip within full view of the giant, Ben took out what he place marked The Grabber and used it to shut the enormous door. From there he needed to hide his tech so if the giant tried to grab it while he was vulnerable he wouldn’t find it. Thankfully there was a crack near the floor that he easily slipped everything into. And now…
With a deep breath and more than a little hesitation, Ben got in the shower. Ben, as much as he acted like it, wasn’t a military man. He’d picked up a certain line of thinking from them, sure, but he was far from prepared for every scenario. This was one of the more outlandish ones sure, but he needed to be alert in case anything happened. 
He tried to hurry, there wasn’t soap or anything left in there but the water was hot and that’s all he wanted. It fogged up the small shower quickly and Ben could feel his breathing get heavier. He was so vulnerable right now. He could see flashes of moments from his life, similar times, none of them happy. He couldn’t imagine what Seth was going through right now, after all he was the most vulnerable person Ben had ever met. 
When he finished he wrenched the door open only to see the room door, still shut. The giant had not come in. Relief flooded Ben almost to the point where he needed to hold the wall for balance. Calm down, get dressed and find out where he really is.
Ben re-equipped himself and started searching the room. After looking through every piece of trash and even the numerous cracks in the wall he concluded that Seth must’ve taken everything useful with him. Ben cursed his brother's attention to detail. Now he was back to square one, back to the giant. 
Slowly he crept to the shared wall between this room and the living area. He heard the television, the giant must be out there, most likely sitting, relaxing, waiting for him to come back out. He huffed, but knew he had to think logically. Conversing with the giant had gotten him fresh food and hot water. Though he probably could’ve done the water thing himself. The giant doesn’t know he’s defenseless yet, and sooner or later he’ll open the door again. This was just a waiting game now, if he played along and tried to get on the giants good side he’d be out in no time. 
Ben nodded to himself and took a breath. Seth could wait a bit longer, and if Seth’s been dealing with giants this whole time, he could deal with one. 
Barry didn’t know if he was repenting for something or if he was in hell but the tiny certainly made him think so. After he got out of the shower Barry’s day was filled with nonstop questions and bratty behavior the likes of which his parents would’ve never put up with had this been him. The tiny asked for a lot in rapid succession, as if trying to get him to lower his guard and actually answer a question. Barry couldn’t help but feel like he was being interrogated, and it didn’t feel good. It never did. 
“How well did you know Seth?” 
“Well I knew him for a year so-” 
“So not that well then.” 
“I guess not.” 
“But you say he was here willingly?” 
“That’s how roommates work.” 
“Sure sure, how often would you let him out?” 
“I didn’t dictate anything about Seth’s life, I was mostly gone when he was here.” 
“So you don’t even know what he was doing half the time?” 
“Most of the time.” 
The tiny was short tempered, even more than Seth used to be, if Barry slipped up and said something about tinies or referred to himself as human he would completely flip. It would be funny if it wasn’t so annoying. 
The day was usually long by himself, but with someone to talk to it actually dragged on much longer. 
After hours of constant questioning Barry went to take a shower himself and thankfully the tiny didn’t seem interested in following, even at a distance. He finally had a moment to himself for the first time all day and, it…
Barry took a shower in record time, and when he opened the door he almost smiled when he saw the tiny hanging from the ceiling there. 
“What are you planning for dinner?” 
“Why?” 
“I have allergies.” 
Almost.

Art is the Tree of Life. Science is the Tree of Death.
I’m back from a Christmas break! I needed to just disappear for a little while. I’m going to update my story tomorrow, so here’s a little sneak peak of chapter 10 before then.
So if you want to read the full story, read it here on AO3!
Summary:  
“To die will be an awfully big adventure” – J.M. Barrie
He knew he wasn't supposed to be here. He remembered what he did, his work, but anything else was a blur. As he laid eyes upon the snowy expanse in front of him, one that was surrounded by luscious green plains, he was confused why it felt familiar. He looked down at his coat, pristine and white with a unique belt that crossed his chest. It felt familiar. He remembered a red glow, pain and darkness. He remembered watching and interacting with a world where a person wore this coat. He had become someone else...?
-------------
Or, someone wakes up as the Chief Alchemist of Mondstadt with a foggy memory of who they once were. With no identity to call their own, they decide to be Albedo. With faint memories and recollections about the world of Teyvat, he is determined to make the world better than what he's seen.
The sneak peak is under the line. It would be hard to understand it without reading the chapters before it, so I recommend doing that if this seems interesting to you.
Atom didn’t know when, or why, but someone lightly poked his cheek while something else pressed against his lips. Atom was in the middle of sketching out the Golden house in the distance when he felt this and he almost flinched in surprise. The sweet aroma of sweets was right underneath his nose. And so, he willingly took a bite of whatever was pressed against his mouth. 
It was squishy and sweet. Something he had bought previously but had forgotten about. He continued to work as he chewed and when the food had disappeared down his throat, food was once again pressed against his lips. He was soon done with the sketching. Couldn’t they wait?? But he took another bite anyway since it was already there.
At the fourth bite of offered food, Atom pulled away from the canvas to look over his work. Every detail of Liyue harbor was now sketched out in soft charcoal, both fine and rough lines so he wouldn’t need to go into too much detail once he added colour to it. Now when he was done, he focused on the person next to him who had been giving him food these past four bites. Aethers grin lit up his whole expression and he held a small, round ball in his hand, a half empty box in the other.
“Welcome back, Atom. I was a little worried when you hadn’t eaten, but I didn’t want to disturb you.”
Atom let out a soft hum and nodded, a smile of his own grew on his face. But his smile could never rival the enthusiasm of Aether’s.
“Thank you. I appreciate the sentiment. I tend to get too wrapped up in my work sometimes.”
“Yeah, no kidding! You were like possessed the moment you saw Liyue Harbor from up here!”
Atom turned to see Paimon floating close behind him, her arms crossed and her cheeks puffed up. Atom’s hand twitched when he saw Zhongli close to Paimon, the former archon was looking at his canvas with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Atom focused on Paimon. “I was simply inspired. Inspiration is an important element when it comes to painting. If inspiration strikes, it is difficult for me to resist the urge. I’m sure you feel the same whenever you see a delicious looking plate of food in front of you that you know you can eat.”
Paimon’s cheek flushed a light red as she looked away from Atom. Aether let out a soft chuckle beside him. “W-Well, if that’s the case then Paimon can understand why you’d be so eager… But at least give Paimon a warning! You ran up a mountainside!”
“Ah, yes. Yes I did.”
“How did you even do that!?”
Atom shrugged when Paimon hovered closer to stare at him. “By using anemo. It’s simple, really.”
“There’s nothing simple about it! You almost made Paimon get blasted away!”
Atom paused and thought about the amount of wind speed and density that was needed to support his weight while he ran. And considering Paimon was always flying rather than walking on solid ground. He gave Paimon a nod.
“I did not realize, I apologize, Paimon. I used this method of climbing in Dragonspine so I did not think that the density and speed of the wind could affect your flight.”
“Hmpf! As long as you understand now.”
