4819 Cherry Lane Chapter Four Part 2
As if on cue the bell rang, and student made a hurried attempt to get to their next class, to their lockers, or in Sage's case to trouble.
Thats all Billy Hargrove was giving her, trouble.
In Sage's mind, Merriam-Webster's  Dictionary lists trouble as the following context:
Trouble: 4. A state or condition of distress, annoyance or difficulty.
And if she had bet her last dollar to her name she was 100% sure that Billy's picture was used as an example.
"Be careful, Sage. Who knows what his motivation is" Robin spoke, knodding her head towards Hargrove's disappearing figure.
"Good thing i can fight then, huh Robin?" Sage smiled, shutting her locker door.
"Besides.. it's just Billy."
She waved off Robin and made her way towards the parking lot passing by Steve at his locker staring down Nancy. She made a mental note to check on him later if she made it out of what ever situation she was getting ready to head into with her next door neighbor.
I mean, it couldn't get much worse could it? He's seen me naked. He's been inside me. She thought to herself. As she finally made her way outside to the parking lot Billy was sitting against his camero staring her down like a predator does his prey. Today she noticed him wearing a light wash pair of denim and a motley crue shirt, his hair in the normal curly mess it always was.
"What do you want, Billy?" She asked, her sunglasses back over her eyes and hands in her pockets. Billy gestured to the car and hoisting himself off the hood, getting into the driver side.
"Get in, Delaney." He spoke, a slight tone of seriousness in his voice.
For a second she was perplexed at how fucking odd he was, one minute he was as hot as the Texas sun and the next he was colder than the winters in Chicago.
She hoisted her bag into the back seat of his camero, plopping down into the passenger seat while the engine roared to life and Billy in typical fashion ripped out of the parking lot quicker than Jason Carver could make a basket.
As they turned down the back roads, Sage had enough of the awkward silence and managed to grab a book from her bag and rolled the window down so she could at least get fresh air.
If she was going to be forced by Billy to go where ever it was he was pissing off too, she was going to atleast study.
"This place is a actual shit hole" he spoke flatly, and Sage grunted in response.
"It's not that bad, you're just over exaggerating."
He looked at her surprised, and pinched his nose and inhaled in a inhumane way.
"Mmmmm! You smell that, Sage? It's shit. Actual cow shit"
She actually laughed at that comment from Billy and shook her head, Billy really was something else and was either hot or cold.
"Well, unless you're referring to yourself stinking to high hell Billy there is no cows. No where close."
"Clearly you haven't met the other high school girls" he replied, his fingers tapping in the steering wheel.
"Billy, honestly. What the fuck is your problem? Do you need a fucking hug or something?" She seethed, slamming her book shut. While she didn't enjoy her fellow classmates she REALLY didn't enjoy when the male population dug on the girls. They did it enough to eachother, in her mind outside wasn't needed.
They finally pulled up to a spot she knew about and was instantly confused. Why the hell did he bring her to lovers lake?
He pulled up to a open spot by the water and threw the car in park, turning to face Sage in quick manner.
"My problem princess...is you" he spoke. His tone was just frank and you could tell there was anger but it was lingering.
"Me? How the hell am I a problem?" She looked at him like he was crazy, his cerulean eyes peering back at her.
"You uh.. you make me nervous"
His hands ran through his hair as he sat back in his seat.
If we are being frank, Billy was being honest. Sage did infact make him nervous, for the pure fact that she was young and wild and free.
Billy was her age, and out of necessity he was wild (cue in the Keg King moments) but he was never free. He wanted to run away, run back to California. Back home. Back to his mother.
"Billy, we bully eachother and fuck. How exactly do I make you nervous?" Sage's tone was more gentle this time. She was still confused but she knew he would eventually tell her. He shook his head and smiled.
She shrugged and got out of the car, leaving her shoes in the camero. As she started stripping down and put her hair in a bun. Billy looked at her with a smirk on his face and the Billy she knew was back.
"Sweetheart if you wanted a repeat of the other night all you had to do was ask" his voice was seeping with listening as he spoke, his eyes darkening with each layer she took off.
She shrugged and inched closer in the water. Being in the sun's hot rays made it warm and for her personally it was perfect. It was when she was in up to her chin that Billy got out of his car, stripping down to his boxers and following suit.
She laughed as he lazily swam closer, his curly blonde hair dunking back and he whipped it forward, getting her face wet. He swam close, pulling her closer. His eyes met hers, and for just a little bit the voices in his head silenced.
"What's going on in that beautiful head of yours?" She asked. He kissed the top of her head and wrapped his arms around her and smiled.
"Oh, darling. Just thinking of the fact that the city lights never shine as bright as your eyes" he spoke lowly and his pillow like lips captured hers.
Oh, the amount of trouble they were in for.

things that turn me on 11/9/15
there were books of different colors and sizes scattered all about his home in piles. they were in his living room, his kitchen, his room, there were even a couple in his bathroom. the first book that had stood out to me had the title ‘GUIDE TO FILM’ in big red text on her spine. it was a big book stacked right on top of a bunch of other small books, and a bunch of other small books were piled right on top of it. his home was very messy and small, but charming, to me it seemed small. but it was probably because he had so many little things everywhere. small little intricacies scattered about. he had a lot of cameras.
on the walls were a bunch of polaroid pictures of happy faces and art neatly hung up, all close together in a particular fashion. his sofa was a foresty green color - reminiscent of his eyes i tend to find myself getting lost in. if you can swim in blue eyes, i wonder what i’d refer to his as - perhaps a wild and unpredictable jungle. and they do say the eyes are the window to the soul. so i wonder what that pretty mind of his looks like, if it’s the same, or the polar opposite, and his eyes are the deceiver - the lurer of prey. i’d like to step inside and take a walk in there someday. all it takes is 20 minutes. 20 minutes of eye contact. then i would know everything. but who could stare into my eyes that long? people are seemingly afraid of total and complete intimacy and of course, vulnerability. it seems they can sense i can hear the noise in their head after the gates have been open. connection. they look away before i get the opportunity to peak my head in and look inside. its painful. who hurt you? who taught you to be afraid?
on the wooden floor in front of it was a very colorful patterned rug. he told me that i should sit on the sofa and asked what kind of tea i wanted. he opened the cabinet and listed the different kinds he had. i told him that pomegranate tea sounded good. he took a glossy ocean blue mug out of the cabinet along with a packet of tea. i watched him pour hot water into the mug and i never thought that such a simple action would drive my head wild with sinful thought. his pretty hands were adorned with beautiful metal rings. i wonder what a mess it would make if he were to punch someone and that thought drove me wild. if god were real, is she watching, and if she saw what we did at night, would she be able to resist? true love is a sight to behold. something you cant ignore - like a car crash you for some reason cant look away from - no matter how terrible. funny how the mind works. maladaptive daydreaming. how could he do this to me? 
his golden curly hair sat pretty on his head and his curls fell perfectly upon the center of his forehead - golden ratio - is this a human or a work of art? who stole you from the museum? people are selfish and keep beautiful things to themselves, so i cant help but wonder...
he glanced at me. the rims of his glasses were big and round and translucent. his eyes were strange; they were a dark green color. i just wonder what sort of creatures lurk about in that jungle of his. when he stares at me, it seems they are about to leap out and grab me and pull me in but, i dont think id be so opposed. the thought caused my head to jerk involuntarily to the other side - as if my mind were telling me to look away, like it picked up on a threat before i could. one eye had little specks of yellow. inhuman you are. whenever he looked at me i felt warmth rush through my arms and my hands and my face. i quickly look away. im no prey.
i looked around and saw a big bookshelf a few inches from the sofa against the wall. the last three shelves at the bottom held a magnitude of records. old and new. his prized collection. i tried to read some of the records from the sofa but most of the text was too tiny to read. i walked over to the bookshelf and sat in front of the bottom shelves. i tilted my head and red the artist names. i’d say i didn’t recognize most of them - but i would be lying. there were only a few i had never heard of. but the ones i did know - Arctic Monkeys, Waxahatchee, Twin Peaks, The Growlers, Fidlar, and The World is a Beautiful Place and I am no Longer Afraid to Die. 
I heard Marley place a mug on the coffee table.
“Your tea is done.” I always liked his accent. it was nice to listen to. especially late at night when I would call him because I wouldn’t be able to sleep, and he would be very sleepy and his voice would be low and small and raspy and he would almost be whispering. at night on the phone, he appeared to be a small boy, but to the rest of the world, a great big wolf. but this small boy, was vulnerable - at times. perhaps only with me. i would always hear jazz music softly playing in the background. he would always have a record playing as he drifted off to sleep. incense lit.  he was careful not to share the softest parts of him to the rest of the world, he kept it hidden. for he believed it made him weaker. but there is bravery in being soft. im daydreaming again. i wonder if he noticed this time. im everything everywhere all at once. im split in two, in different dimensions. 
“thanks. where’s your record player?”
“In my room. do you want me to bring it out here?”

@singofus asked:  “  that’s enough.  you’ve got your revenge.  let’s go.  ” (from Hermes for Artemis maybe?)
blood splattered against her sun-kissed cheek, staining her skin and coating her hair.  her fists were bloody and bruised, her eyes glowing with an inhuman fury.  in that moment, she was not artemis, meager goddess of the hunt.  she was the embodiment of all things wild, uncontrollable and unrefined.  the earth cracked beneath every blow she delivered to her victim’s skull, and her howls of rage were animalistic.
hermes’ hand on her shoulder earned him a swift punch to the gut, before her eyes dulled and she took a breath, and remembered where she was.  a crowd of onlookers watched in horror.  the man at her feet (the man who’d grabbed at her rear, who had made the mistake of messing with the wrong woman.  she almost felt sorry for him), he groaned in pain, his face reduced to a bloody pulp.
artemis straightened up, tossing a messy strand of hair over her shoulder with ease.   “you’re right, hermes.  i’ll waste no more energy on this vermin.”  she smirked down at him, that same wild look in her eyes.  “most vermin should be exterminated...  but i think i’ll have you live with the weight of your mistake.”

Summary: A supernatural AU from this prompt: “Berserker Captain Syverson, and ‘I want to hear you beg for it’.” from @mrsaugustwalker’s Great Writing Challenge.
Pairing: Berserker!Sy x fem!reader
Word Count: 6k+
Warnings: Blood, gore, violence, wild historical inaccuracies, mentions of slavery, SMUT, soulmates, primal sex, rough sex, oral sex, claiming/mating (consensual), dominant male, virgin reader, unprotected sex, bodily fluids, there’s probably more, just like…this fic is 18+, okay?
A/N: Okay so this prompt was originally meant to be just a quick, smutty “Hell yeah, Viking warrior Sy!” thing but noooo, I went completely off the rails with this so I’m just going to apologize in advance.  I started writing this intending an inclusive second person perspective, but I did end up including some things that will not resonate with all. This is nothing like what I usually write, PLEASE heed the warnings.  So, without further ado…let’s get weird.
———————
 “I want to hear you beg for it.”
The man leered at you, the stench of his rotten teeth reaching you even through the bars of the makeshift prison fitted to the back of the slaver’s wagon.  He cackled at your deep glare, holding the small tray of hard bread and day-old vegetables just out of reach.  
“Got us another stubborn one.  Don’t worry, pretty girl.  You’ll come around soon enough, yeah? They always get hungry eventually.” He pawed at your ankle through the bars and you growled, kicking out at him but narrowly missing, and he cackled again.  “Give it time, little bear.  You’ll be begging for me to come back soon enough.”
You bared your teeth at him as he left, stubbornly refusing to give them the satisfaction of seeing you beg.  You would rather starve to death than bend to the will of your captors.
“So feisty still. Don’t worry, yrsa.  They will tire of the taunting when you give them less sport.”
You looked to the woman on your left.  Likely a great beauty under normal circumstances, her long thick braids were slightly disheveled, her fine blue shift covered in smears of dirt indicating she had put up a fair few struggles herself before adopting the bored expression she now held.  She gave off an air of strength, even in the cramped, miserable quarters of the cage. Fierce features and a regal air made you desire to lean into her strength, however feigned, but you resisted.
You huffed and threw yourself back against the bars before drawing your arms around yourself.  The late autumn chill was seeping in now that the sun had gone down and you spared a brief glance at the fire the slavers were huddled around.  You would not be jealous.  
“And how is it you ended up in this mess?  You look as if you could walk away whenever you choose,” you grouse.
She spared you half of a sardonic smile and lifted the hem of her dress enough to reveal heavy manacles latched to both her ankles and secured to a bolt below her feet.  
“They learned quickly. Stuck here for the time. Besides, if…when I get out of here, my brother will have my head for letting my axe out of my sight long enough for these brutes and brigands to get their hands on me.”
You sniffed, feeling a bit chastised for your annoyance toward the woman.  
“What about you, Little Bear?” she prompted with a smirk, looking over your attire, “You’re obviously not from here.  Did your father owe someone too much money?”
You huffed again.  “My father died when I was a baby.  My mother too.  I was taken quite far away and raised by my aunt. I was venturing into your lovely lands to find out if I had more family or any history here. Much to my current despair,” you finished, rolling your eyes.  
The two of you sat in tense silence for moments, soaking in your venomous wrath toward the men who had taken you by surprise at the last village you had stopped at for the night. Brigands, both local and foreign to these cold Northern lands.  The bottom of the barrel, operating solely out of greed for what they could profit on when pulling lone humans from their beds at each place they passed by. Violence and chaos left in their wake.
“Do you have any idea where they are taking us?” you prompted when the silence grew too heavy.
“South most likely, toward Hedeby.  There is a trading settlement there.  We won’t make it that far,” she expressed with a surety you envied.  
  ---------------
Asbjørn Syversson stood before the forest’s edge, observing the small caravan. For the last seven days the Berserkir warriors had tracked the thieves, the last three of which they had kept them in their sights.  Three days of concealment among the trees, observing their soon-to-be prey.  Three days to delve into the rituals so vital to communion with the bear spirit within.  To prepare for battle.
The brigands had stolen the king’s sister from the village she had been visiting.  The idiots had no idea who they had among them, the danger they had placed themselves in.  The king had called upon his Berserkirs to retrieve her and punish the men.  They had no idea the hell that was about to rain down upon them.
Syversson shifted on his feet, suppressing the straining beast within.  Something was different about this hunt.  Something that scratched at his skin, woke his senses. A…scent in the air, one that got stronger as they narrowed the gap to the traveling party.  
His men, sensing his tension, rose to their feet behind him, readying themselves to allow the bear spirit free reign of their bodies.
“It is time.”
 ------------------
“There, now you look like a proper Northwoman,” your companion laughed as she finished braiding your hair.  You had learned her name was Bodil.  She had quickly found that maintaining conversation was a fine way to distract you from your anger long enough to convince you to eat.
“Mm.  Just in time to be sold like livestock.  We seem to be getting closer to our destination,” you remarked glumly.  “I’m sorry your hope of a rescue did not come true.”
Bodil chuckled.  “Oh hardly, my sweet friend. They’ve been tracking us for days.  I’m surprised you had not noticed them yourself.”
“I am no tracker.  How was I to have noticed?” you replied, a sudden bloom of hope erupting in your chest.
She hummed in reply, avoiding answering.
Your eyes skimmed the perimeter of the camp as the brigands prepared their evening fires.  You saw nothing out of the ordinary.  Perhaps Bodil was just being hopeful, imagining a rescue that would never come.  Or perhaps she was telling you such things to ease the worry in your heart until you reached the trading settlement.
“Rest now,” she said, obviously sensing your doubt, “They will come soon.”
---------------
You jolted awake to the sound of a deafening roar.
Disoriented, you cowered to the corner of the pen, trembling.  
“Do not hide girl,” Bodil said.  She turned to you, grinning like a madwoman, her eyes alight and fierce. “You will not want to miss this.”
You crept forward slowly and looked out between the bars.  The camp was in disarray, men tearing themselves from their sleeping rolls to gather weapons, their countenances dripping with fear.
Another fierce roar vibrated across the land, and this time through your chest, down your spine, and down even to your toes.  Your heart pounded.  Your hands gripped the bars and you pressed forward to see.  When your eyes fell upon the source of the brigands’ fear, your mouth went dry.
Perhaps ten men (if you could call them that, for they were the largest men you had ever seen) approached the camp at a swift pace.  They wore no shirts, not a stitch of armor amongst them. They were bare from the waist up save for the skin of a bear draped across their shoulders, some with the pelt covering their own scalp and the face of a bear hanging over their foreheads.  Every one of them thick with muscle and their eyes completely feral.  These were more animal than man.
“What are they?” You asked, hating the tremble in your voice.
“Berserkirs.  My brother’s prized warriors.  Our most fearsome defenders.  The spirit of a bear resides inside each of them.  Part man, part beast.  And very entertaining, if you understand me,” Bodil’s eyes were alight with both humor and fervor.  This woman must be insane, you thought.
Their leader charging in the front of the group let out one more deafening roar, his almost-fangs on full display, the corded muscle in his neck pulsing beneath a thick tangle of beard. The sound rang through you again, causing every nerve of your body to leap to awareness.  Then they descended upon the camp.  
Axes and swords swung high, arcs of blood following in their wake.  Some did not even bother with weapons, tearing into their foes with their bare hands.  Men…well, parts of what used to be men…were thrown to and fro in their battle fury. An errant arm smacked against the bars of the cage that separated you and Bodil from the fray, before landing in the mud with a thump.  You yipped in surprise, falling back onto your rump.  The sound drew the attention of the man nearest you, their leader. His inhuman eyes locked onto your face momentarily, sending a jolt of lightening through your senses, before he tore his gaze away and back to the slaughter.  
You turned toward Bodil to see she was still smiling, battle-lust strong in her eyes.  Her fingers moving of their own accord as though she wished she was participating as well.  Not that she would have had much to do, as the battle was quite brief, and soon you found yourself staring over a campsite of slain men.  The Berserkirs stood breathing heavily amongst the bodies, each one of them covered in a spray of blood.  
Their leader locked eyes with you again before moving closer.  You felt rooted in place, your chest heaving.  
“Asbjørn, son of Syver. Leader of my brother’s warriors,” Bodil identified as he placed his hands on the bars.  He seemed not to notice the introduction, eyes roaming over you. He sniffed the air slowly.  He may have been the most beautiful, most terrifying man you had ever laid eyes upon.  His bare chest was covered in thick curls of hair that trailed down his stomach and below the waist of his pants.  Your view felt locked upon him, drawn to his handsome features.  As your eyes trailed back up to his face, he cocked his head to the side slightly as though in question.  Suddenly the muscles in his chest and arms bunched, and the bars were torn away with a resounding crack that jolted you to your core.  
“Yrsa,” his deep, gravelly voice caused an involuntary shiver to run down your spine.
“What does that mean?” You asked, unable to take your eyes off the formidable creature devouring you with his gaze.  You felt a heat blooming in your lower belly the longer he stood there, drinking you in.
“She-bear.  His spirit recognizes yours, I gather.  Have fun with that one, my little friend,” Bodil grinned wickedly as another of the men came over and hacked open the chain of her manacles with an axe and she leapt from the makeshift cage.  
“B-but Bodil! Wait!” you tried, but she was already walking off, pausing only to pull an abandoned axe from the chest of a slain man and jauntily following the men who were now stripping the camp of any valuables and making their way back to the woods.
You had no option but to turn your attention back to the very intense, very intimidating stare of the warrior blocking your own exit from the carriage.  Had this been a rescue only meant for one?  It only occurred to you in that moment that you were still a stranger here.  One who had been meant to be sold as property.  Would these men have a similar intention?  Perhaps you were quite stupid in that moment, but the thought made you angry, so you returned the intensity of his stare with a low growl in his direction.
To your complete and utter bemusement, it drew a slight smile from the man.  He reached out toward you and you flinched back, earning a sharp look from him.  But instead of his hand harming you, he simply ran one of your braids over his open palm in a seemingly reverent gesture. He then leaned in closer, his nostrils flaring slightly as he breathed in your scent.  He hummed low in his throat, causing you to clench involuntarily.
It was then you lost all your senses.  You dove under his arm out of the carriage and rolled through the mud to your feet, taking off at a sprint.  To where, you had no idea.  You likely had no hope of outrunning the man or his party, no idea why you even were. It’s not like he had harmed you, quite the opposite in fact.  But the loss of control over your own reactions in combination with the brutality of the battle you had just seen take place had your primal instincts running high, so your only thought was to flee.
----------------
Syversson watched you scamper away like a frightened rabbit.  He tamped down his instinctual urge to give chase.  You wouldn’t get far in these unfamiliar woods.  
He walked back to the woods to the camp where Bodil and his men waited, using the time to wrestle his own bear-spirit back into submission.  He’d never felt anything remotely similar to the feeling that had clawed through his body when he laid eyes on you.  Raw, fierce, visceral desire.  Not just of the flesh, but an impassioned, soul-deep hunger had overtaken him.  He needed to know you.  Taste you.  Feel your aromatic, soft skin under his fingers.  But more than anything, he desired to mark you.  In every way possible.  To dominate and make you unquestionably his.
Tense, he crossed the final distance into the woods to where his men would camp for the night.  Several pairs of half-golden eyes trained themselves to him as he approached, fading back into their normal hues as the men’s own spirits returned to the forefront of their consciousness.  
“Return the shield-maiden to her brother.  I will join you in the great hall in one week’s time,” was all he managed to grit out, before turning to gather his own sparse belongings and setting off in the direction you had run, Bodil’s knowing laughter fading into the forest at his back.  
----------------
So stupid.  Absolutely idiotic.  You had made a mistake.
You had always had a fondness for the forest back home.  You spent inordinate amounts of time trekking and exploring the trees near your aunt’s village.  You had thought you would be fine on your own.  How wrong you were.  
These Northern woods were thick, unfamiliar, and disorienting.  And so cold.  You had wandered for nearly a day and a half and not found your way out.  Completely lost and frightened, you sat down on the trunk of an overturned tree to soak in your own despair for a while.  Fuck.  You shivered, your kirtle was half soaked with frozen mud.  You needed to find shelter or build a fire before the sun set or you would freeze in your sleep.  You needed food.  And you couldn’t shake the feeling that something was watching you.  Giving yourself a mental shake, you stood and made to trek on.  
An hour later you found yourself standing at the mouth of a cave, the darkness inside both intimidating and inviting.  You wanted desperately to shelter inside and begin building a fire with the wood you had gathered.  You crept inside the mouth of the cave, moving slowly.  Once inside, you placed down the wood and set to work stacking it and preparing the fire, your unease drifting away as you worked.  Relief hit you as the first small flames began licking up the stack of wood and you held your hands toward it to warm them as you knelt on the stone ground.  
Within minutes your frozen fingers had thawed and you began wondering whether it was worth the effort to find food to gather as darkness began to fall outside.  Perhaps you should sleep and worry about finding food in the morning light.  You raised your head to assess the best place to lay yourself near the fire, and found yourself staring right into a reflective pair of eyes.
You gasped and fell back, scrambling away from the large grey wolf staring at you from across the fire.  It began moving closer to you, its lips pulling away from its teeth as it paced slowly in your direction.  You racked your mind, desperate to think of a way out of this situation as the animal drew nearer.  Was this it?  Rescued from slavers only to be eaten alive by an angry denizen of the forest?  Your fear of the Berserkirs seemed ridiculous to you now.  What you wouldn’t give to have that feral strength present in this moment.
You tried to slowly scoot yourself closer to the fire.  If you could just grab hold of one of the flaming logs, perhaps you could scare the wolf away.  At a snail’s pace, you crept your arm along the stone ground, reaching, leaning. Your fingers finally closed around the base of one of the torches and you tugged it lightly toward yourself. Weapon in hand now, you pulled yourself back just as slowly, desperate not to attract the wrath of the creature in front of you with any sudden movements.  
But just as you brought it near, your plan was foiled as the stacked wood from the fire collapsed, popping and crackling as it sent a plume of embers flying toward both yourself and your adversary.  The wolf, agitated and emboldened by the sudden commotion, launched itself at you. Its jaws agape, the mass of fur and claws signaled your bitter, sad end.  There was nothing left for you to do but scream your last rebellious cry at the world as you swung the torch toward your own doom.  
But you never made contact.
A roar reverberated through the stone walls of the cave, and something much larger and more furious made impact with the creature, throwing both itself and the wolf past the burning mess that was your fire.  Two bodies made impact against the stone, growling, tumbling.  Yips and roars of pain could be heard as your eyes made out the color of a man’s flesh tangled against the grey fur of the wolf and the deep, sanguine rivulets of fresh blood.
Syversson.
You watched, frozen, as the absolute beast of a man tore into his adversary.  A battle between two animals took place before your eyes, fear and pity warring in your heart for both combatants.  Another pained yip tore through the air and the wolf was thrown from the man.  Clearly taking it as a signal to its defeat, the animal began a limping run toward the mouth of the cave.  The man shot to his feet, clearly intending to give chase, but you had seen too much. You shot up to intercept him, and pressed both hands against his chest.  
“No!  Please, no.  It’s gone. Please.”
You were sure that he could easily knock you aside, but not much could be said in favor of your sense of self-preservation lately anyway.  But to your surprise, he halted.  His near-golden eyes slowly swiveled to your face, then down to where your palms lay firmly against his sculpted chest.  His massive ribcage expanded with a deep breath, which he expelled as a firm chuff in your direction, clearly intending to signal his displeasure. Your knees weakened considerably at the action, but you stood as firm as you could, setting your jaw and glaring into his eyes.  
His eyebrows drew together as he observed your actions, his muscles dancing tense underneath your hands. It was obvious he was fighting for control over the beast inside himself.  A low growl rumbled from deep within his chest, making your toes curl against the rough stone floor.  Your now trembling fingers pressed more firmly against him in an attempt to guide him back.
“You’re hurt, please.  Let me help you.”
His eyes traveled to where yours indicated, a deep gash across his shoulder that now sluggishly leaked blood. Your tone was clearly soothing enough for the large man, because he relented, allowing you to push him back toward the rough walls.  Guiding him to sit, you quickly tore and gathered what clean cloth you could from your underdress, the over being still covered in now-dried but only slightly less frozen mud from your journey.  You carefully wrapped the cloth around the wound and up under the pit of his arm before tying it off.  You prayed to the gods you would be able to find clean water soon to wash it, but this would do for now.  He never once winced with your ministrations, just monitored your face continuously with those eyes that were slowly fading from gold to a striking blue.
“Are you…are you human again now?”
He chuckled at that.  “Yrsa, I will never be fully human.  But my bear spirit has settled for the time, if that is what you mean.”
“Why did you follow me?” you asked, “Do you mean to sell me like those men did?”
A fierce anger overtook his features at that.  
“Sell you?! Never! I followed you because you are mine.  Your spirit calls to mine, do you not feel it?”
You felt something, sure. But what was he talking about? Whatever you felt was surely just part of all the fear and exhaustion and bafflement at the entire situation you had found yourself in.  “Y-yours?  I don’t understand.”
“My mate.”
“Your…what? I don’t know what you mean,” you found yourself intrigued, but instincts had you moving back from him.  You wouldn’t run this time, no.  He had proven to be no harm to you, but you also weren’t sure what this mate business was all about and you weren’t sure what his intentions toward you were because of it.
“Perhaps it would be better if I showed you,” he said with a smirk, unfurling his legs and leaning forward toward you.  He was an imposing man, all muscle and fur and gleaming teeth.  Your breath quickened as he towered over your sitting form, moving closer until he hovered right above you.  He sniffed at your hair, your neck, causing shivers to run the length of your body.  You found yourself overwhelmed and unable to concentrate on anything but his own musky scent; earth, salt, and the coppery tang of blood lingered around him. Something primal within you reacted to it, causing you to inhale another deep lungful as your core clenched and you pressed your thighs together.  His arm reached out, and you unconsciously braced for whatever he was about to do to you.
He grasped one of the logs from the fire and smirked at you again, then set himself to rebuilding the mess that had become of your makeshift camp.  You watched, confused.
“You’re mine.  Your soul was meant for mine.  And mine for yours.  I do intend to show you that, in many, many pleasurable ways.  But most importantly, I will take care of you.” He gathered the furs you had seen him don previously and arranged them by the fire.  “Come.”
You stared, unmoving.
“It is cold.  You are shivering.  Come.”
Your mouth gaped slightly.  
“I-“
“Come.”
Your body drew you to him, unbidden by your own will.  As though some soul-deep part of you begged to obey his command.  You lay yourself down, stiffly at first, though you relaxed as you drew closer to the warmth of the fire and furs.  Feeling nearly delirious as your own body and desire betrayed your stubbornness.  Perhaps this is how it ends, a small part of your psyche whispered.  Perhaps this is how it begins, whispered another.
“Yes, yrsa.  You are safe now.  Lay with me,” he whispered in your ear as he enveloped you in his large frame and drew the furs around you both.
And oh if his skin wasn’t deliciously heated against your own, which up until that point you had subconsciously feared would never be fully warm again.  Fine tremors wracked their way up your spine as you allowed yourself to relax into the feeling of him pressed up against you.  His massive, muscled arm came around you, the pressure just enough to make you feel tender and encapsulated without feeling trapped.
The sound that rumbled from his chest as he felt you relax against him was both delicious and foreign at once. The deep, guttural hum seeped into your muscles and bones like the drum of a war march and the tranquility of a summer rain simultaneously.  Could you reach euphoria from a single sound?  
 Your eyelids sunk heavily as your pupils reached a zenith.  A final shudder listed lazily through your being as you were drawn deeply into unconsciousness, feeling wholly, irrationally, for the first time since you were a child, that you were well and truly cared for.
_____________
It wasn’t until the dead of the night, when the fire had burnt itself down to embers, that you awoke.  
You weren’t sure of the cause at first, until that blissful hum penetrated into your half-lucid mind. The son of Syver remained stationed in a protective cocoon around your frame, though he stirred now, the movements of his deep breaths pressing him against you.  As if he sensed your return to the world of the living, he nuzzled against your hair. No words needed spoken as you cued into the change in him.
Heat,
weight,
…need.
Any slight movements of your body caused you to press against that ardent need.  The errant desire that pulsed through you at the realization caused your head to lull back against the firm wall of his chest, a low moan escaping your lips.  That was all the encouragement he needed.
His large hands began to roam your body, causing all concerns to flutter away like petals of spring flowers blown in a heavy wind.  You were suddenly devoid of all but a certain theme of awareness, drugged by the touch and vocalizations of a near-stranger.  One who was no stranger at all, you knew deep down, for you were aware of who he was, regardless of any stubborn desire to rationalize.
You sensed the tension in him. The rapturous fury held leashed. The strength with which he held himself at bay did nothing but add to the heated desire building within you. This was part of you, you realized. A deeply dormant, visceral need contained in your soul which you had only just realized.
“Please.”
A needy whisper.
He groaned, muscles tremoring.
“Are you sure, yrsa? For I will not hold back once I have started.”
His proclamation was emphasized by a firm grip of your fleshy thigh, the painful pressure causing you to gasp.  
“I have no desire to be gentle with you.”
You moaned again.  “Please!” came your desperate, breathless consent.
He growled his approval against the skin of your neck as you were roughly rolled to your back.
His tongue darted out from between his thick, plush lips as it traced your collarbone.  You arched upward toward his hungry form, pressing your chest against his as his body drew over yours.  
“Your scent…your taste. It’s intoxicating,” he rumbled as his mouth further explored your skin.  He moved up, capturing your mouth with his. He was not a gentle man.  It was an almost furious kiss, stealing the breath from your lungs as his tongue pressed between your lips and began to battle your own for dominance.  His heavy frame pressed into you with the most delicious weight, settled between your legs as he rendered you nearly thoughtless with his mouth upon yours. He pulled back, his chest heaving, and you nearly followed his mouth in desperation for more.  “I must taste more of you,” he rasped harshly.
Rough fingers tore asunder the top of your shift, your small noise of protest only seeming to encourage him further as he greedily palmed your breasts.  Each of your nipples was laved in turn, sucked into the warmth of his mouth, causing your body to undulate against his as a torrent of sensations flowed through your form and straight to your core.  The urgency emanating from him did not allow him to stop there though.
His tongue and lips danced down your body, his beard tracing a burning trail along your skin, setting alight parts of you that you hadn’t even been aware could burn.  You were desperately near begging when he finally pushed your skirts up, his eyes drinking in the sight before him.
“So. Beautiful.”
His words alone were enough to send a river of arousal dripping from you, but the awe present on his rough, handsome features nearly threw you over the edge before he had even touched you. Never had you thought your body was capable of such desire and need.  A small whine escaped from you, causing his attention to finally snap to its target. As he lowered his face to your apex, you instinctually pressed up toward him.  The hum of approval that fell from his lips as they met your wet heat vibrated through you and nearly made you delirious.  His hands gripped at your thighs, the painful pressure only adding to your euphoria as his tongue pressed against you, lapping at your sweet folds rhythmically, firmly. It felt as though he were sending waves of pleasure through you, building to larger and larger cascades until they crested over an unyielding shore.  You had never felt anything of the sort, and were nearly blinded as the pressure building within you snapped and you cried out in bliss, shuddering against him, though his hands held your hips firmly in place.
He rose back over you, one arm holding his weight from crushing you, the other reaching a hand to wipe his beard.
“You are…the most delicious, most amazing woman I have ever tasted.”
You had no words to offer in return as you fought to catch your breath.  You stared up into his eyes as they devoured your countenance.  The beautiful azure was slowly being tinged by gold.  You watched in absolute awe as the stain wandered across his vision, not fully, but enough to tell you he was being consumed by instinct.  The sight shook you to your very essence, and your legs spread unconsciously as your desire built again.  His low growl signaled to you that his desire was just as strong, reverberating through your bones, sinews, and to your very core.  His lack of movement told you that he was still containing himself.  Waiting for your permission.
He had it.  He had that and more.   Whatever this was between you, you wanted to let him in, to let him own every inch of you.  You reached up and began unlacing his breeches, his impressive length pressing taut against the leather.  As you pushed the fabric open and down, over his hips, he shuddered, muscles bunching in his arms and chest as he fought his own instincts long enough to let you lead this small part of your impending union.
His revealed anatomy astounded you, your lips parting slightly in awe.  It was somehow the most beautiful and frightening thing you had ever laid eyes upon.  His heartbeat thundered visibly, apparent in the pulsing veins that wove thick and proud around his girth.  You reached out and lightly, hesitantly traced a finger along one.  His growl deepened significantly, pleasure and frustration spilling out of him in the waves of sound.  You looked to his eyes, pupils lust-blown and dark amongst the blue and gold of his irises.  One moment suspended in time as your eyes met.  There it was.  That mystery that linked your two souls.  Your mutual desire, care, and need hung like a tether between the two of you, stretched taut.  He saw the change in you as you recognized it, and with that, he moved.
Lining himself up with your entrance, he pushed his hips forward slowly.  The intrusion was vast against your untrained walls.  The stretch, despite his preparation, was both painful and pleasurable and you keened as he pressed into you, inch by deliciously torturous inch, tearing asunder your resistance.  Your fingers clawed for purchase against his chest as he bottomed out within you, his moan of pleasure furthering your descent into a near-feral woman.  He allowed you a mere moment to adjust before the dam of his control finally broke, and he drew back and began to thrust into you in earnest.  
You cried out as his pelvis rocked against yours, his length jutting into your core, his ridges burning friction against your soft walls.  The painful pleasure of his rigid lust consumed you, ate up your thoughts until you were nothing but a being of pure, animalistic sensation.  His face pressed against your neck, lips giving way to teeth as he marked your body as his.  His rutting form enveloped you, skin pressing against skin, the coarse hairs of his chest creating further friction against your exposed breasts and nipples.  As you cried out again, he pulled out completely.
His strong, calloused hands moved to your hips, flipping your body with ease onto all fours, and he slammed back into you without hesitation.   You barely held yourself up as your body tremored all over.  One of his arms snaked around your middle, holding you in position, as his other hand drew a possessive line down your back.  This was it.  This beast of a man would own you completely.  Mesh his own soul with yours.  And you wanted it so badly you ached.
His hips hit hard against you as his thrusts became impossibly stronger.  The punishing rhythm he set made you feel as though you were being torn apart and put back together anew.  His hand tangled in your hair, dragging you by a fistful up against his chest. He pressed his lips to your ear, his ragged breaths skimming pure bliss across your skin, causing your eyes to roll back behind closed lids.  
“You are mine.”
His grunted proclamation built the burning intensity in your womb to a blazing inferno.  Set fire to your soul.  You doubted any other words could ever cause such passion to flame within you. But as his next words left his lips, you learned otherwise.
“I.”
His thrusts grew erratic. You felt him swell within you.  
“Am.”
Your walls clutched him. The head of his cock slammed against your cervix.
“Yours.”
You fell apart.  Fell to pieces.  Your vision went white with ecstasy as you shuddered around him and screamed out your bliss.
His accompanying roar tore you asunder.  He set his teeth into your neck as he came with a final slam of his cock into your abused hole.  You could feel his hot seed spilling against your battered walls, soothing the delicious ache.  Your trembling legs gave out below you and he eased you down to the fur-covered ground, collapsing beside you after he softened and pulled from you.  You could feel his warm fluids dripping out of you and you shivered.
Syversson pulled you to him, turning you to rest your head against his heaving chest.  His hand dipped down between your tremoring thighs and he ran his fingers through your gathered essence.  A sigh escaped you as he touched you.  Pulling his hand back up, he pressed his fingers against your lips, nudging them open.  You laved your tongue around and between them, gathering every drop you could, sucking them clean.  His softening manhood twitched at your actions and he groaned, pulling you up to kiss you.  Your tongues danced around the taste of each other’s pleasure.
When he pulled away, you lay your head back down on him.  
“Rest again now, yrsa. Tomorrow we begin the journey back to the great hall.”
His deep breaths had almost instantly soothed you into a near-slumber, but you had at least the energy to ask.
“And what will become of me when we get there?”
He closed his own eyes and smiled.
“We will go before the king, and I will make you my wife.”

We need more Time and Wild bonding
For you, Anon! And also for @1142 who requested the same thing!
Summary: Time sees his family, friends and other loved ones in his boys, but Wild especially is reminding him of himself this morning, and he wants to offer some encouragement to the poor kid.
youtube
It's quiet to read alone, listen to this!
Epona’s song drifted through the cool morning air.
The sound brought a smile to Time’s lips as he snuggled closer to the warmth pressed beside him, breathing in the clean morning air and tugging the blanket up higher on his shoulder.
He really didn’t want to wake up.
Although, he didn’t remember opening the bedroom window last-
Wait. They weren’t on the farm! They’d gone to sleep in the forest last night! There was no window to leave open, and no Malon singing or lying beside him. He shoots awake, pulling himself up with the intent of looking around camp, only to have something pull him back down towards the ground.
Looking down, he feels his scarred heart melt. Twilight twitches in his sleep, arms locking around his shoulders, sleepily groans sounding as the lad hangs off him, cold nose pressed to his neck. Tiny, whuffling snores sound from his pup as the younger man nuzzles closer, and he can only chuckle softly and rub his protégé's back lightly as he settled back down to let Twilight sleep.
He is curious who had been singing though.
A single blue eye takes in the camp as he props himself up slightly on his bedroll, careful not to disturb Twilight as he takes in where each of his boys lay.
Legend and Hyrule lay curled into each other, Legend clinging to his protégé while Hyrule’s hands lay buried in his mentor’s silky hair, a smile on the face of the younger and drool on the face of the elder*. Warriors lies close by, sprawled across his bedroll and snoring fit to wake the dead, utterly content and comfortable in the safety of his brothers and proving it with his noise. Opposite the three, Wind and Sky curl close, Sky’s sailcloth and their blankets thrown over the two leaving only Four’s left foot visible from between them.
His pup curls close to his side, one leg thrown over his waist and arms locked tight around his shoulders, holding him in place and preventing him from rising, but the bedroll on his left...
Epona’s song continues to dance through the camp, and Time’s single eye finally falls on Wild, the cook busily scrubbing out his favorite cooking pot on the very edge of camp, the familiar tune dancing off of the young one’s lips, suds rising halfway up his arms and hair thrown back in a messy bun that reminds Time strongly of Lullaby’s own hair when the woman loses patience with it. Decorum be shot, the queen will throw her own hair back with a simple hair tie in front of the whole court, ignoring how it makes her appear and continuing her duties without hair hanging in her face and her neck free from the oppressing heat of its constant curtain.
If ever he doubted that Lullaby and Shiek were the same person, each time he sees his princess behave in such a way, he’s reminded that, different time lines or no, there is still the same fiery spirit and passion for change in his friend that there had always been, and it is something he is happy to see reflected in some of his boys, along with Malon’s stubborn personality and incredible strength and kindness.
Maybe he is looking for the traits of those dearest to his heart in the boys that had pushed their way in. Be it by force or by accident as the hero might be, but it brings him no small joy to see Lullaby in Legend’s sharp glares or in Warriors’ brisk manner when planning. In Hyrule’s swift fingers or Wild’s sharp and calculating eyes. To see her in Four’s dark eyes, always thoughtful, always knowing, or in Sky’s burning passion.
It’s a wonder to see Malon in Wind’s boisterous cheer, and in Twilight’s rolling laughter. To see his wife’s mischief reflected in Wild’s luminescent gaze or her love of life in the way Legend cares for his orchard and animal friends. And the glimpse of unbelievable strength in Four’s easy lifting of weapons as big as himself, or the echo of her in the firm set of Warriors’ shoulders always makes him smile to himself.
There are others at times. Saria in Hyrule’s smile. Kafai in Wild’s laugh. Romani in Wind’s eccentric ideas, Nabooru in Legend’s firm stance and heavily lidded gaze, Navi in Sky’s light scolding and Tatl in Four’s acerbic wit. Glimpses of home and family echo around him, pulling close what reflected it and making them home and safety themselves. And over it all he can hear the winding of tunes that both tore apart and hold together the memories of his youth.
And now, one such tune, one especially close to his heart, one meant only for the Lon family and their famous steeds, dances over the edges of the camp and past the ears of the sleeping heroes as Wild lifts his cooking pot and carries it over to the fire, singing softly with faint and muddled words, many of them wrong, mumbled or tripped over, but sung all the same as food winks into being from the champion’s slate.
“-ne-ver far from home. Epona, Epona, can you hear hmm hmm, singing from in my heart, hmm-hmm-hmm.” Mumbled hums break the words as the champion works over the fire, measuring and stirring. “Something if you’re wandering far away hmm-hmm, listen for this melody calling you! Re-mem-ber that you have something-or-other to complete! I trust hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hm!”
The muddled version of the song makes him chuckle softly, startling the younger hero into spinning around, the spoon that Sky carved him brandished like a weapon as the champion prepares to defend himself against whatever he thinks may have startled him. Face beet red and growing redder.
“You have a nice singing voice.”
Wild looks instants away from combusting on the spot. “hOW- How long were you awake?”  Gone are the stumbling yet melodious trills of the cook’s voice, instead replaced with a panicked squeak only made worse by his age.
It was like the first time he’d successfully startled Shiek, both of them both still so young that their voices broke under pressure, and the thought makes him smile as he meets the startled child’s gaze.
“Long enough.”
Wild’s ears droop, quivering with shame and embarrassment as the kid’s shoulders hunch up to brush against them, eyes darting down and refusing to meet Time’s as boot scuffs the dirt softly. “I thought you guys- that is- I thought it was-” Cornflower blue glances up, meeting his own for only a second before darting away again. “I thought it was safe.”
Safe? What does the cub- Understanding dawns and he finds himself chuckling low and soft. “I won’t tell if you don’t.”
“It’s not that.” The champion whispers. “I just- I don’t like people...hearing.”
Oh.
Also familiar, also so very familiar. Only this time he doesn’t see his wife or sisters and brothers, or mother or friends in the flushed face of the hero before him.
A squeaky voiced young hero, who’d pulled his cap over his face more times than anyone would guess when looking at his scarred face now, had time and again been encouraged by a darting blue fairy.
“You’ve got a lovely voice Link. No shame, come on!”
Of course, fairies always like hero their Chosen sing, but Time himself had, admittedly, stumbled over notes and keys nearly as badly as his pup still does, but he’d lacked any of Twilight’s playful self-confidence to be able to own up to the harsh squeaks and shrieking chirps that erupted out of him whenever someone else tried to get him to sing, or caught him singing.
He was fine, when Navi was fast asleep or the Kolkiri were half a forest away, or when it had just been himself and Epona, trailing through the dark woods in search of a light he’d have given anything to hear encouraging him to keep trying to raise his voice. It’d been the first time he’d really tried to Sing for his fairy, but it hadn’t done anything but tempt over two fairies who already had their own Chosen, a skullkid who’d pulled him along into a world where his voice had hidden with his face behind mask after mask.
It took Malon catching him singing while at work in the barn before he’d been able to et the guts up to actually try for her, but it’d been worth it when he hadn’t had to fumble with fancy words to ask her to marry him, not when there was a song and a dance just for that that he’d learned for Kafai while in Termina. Malon made his heart sing, but she also made him sing, and while her voice far outdid his own, it always made him happy to hear the two ringing together.
He’d once hoped, once he found out, that he’d one day hear Twilight’s voice rise up with theirs on some starlit evening, but after hearing his pup sing...
He loves Twilight like a son, but heaven forbid he ever force his wife to listen to that tone deaf mess!
Wild though, oh, Malon would love to tempt Wild into singing and guide him along until his voice could ring with hers. The child had the voice of a fairy, ethereal and inhuman, but in a way that made him feel light and airy and almost like he could fly.
“Well...” He wants very much to stand and walk over to Wild, but he was still trapped and Twilight was both a brick and incredibly strong, leaving him trapped until his pup is good and ready to wake up, something he fully believed Wild would prefer to prevent happening for the time being. “I can’t not hear it, Wild.”
“Try?” The kid pleads, eyes wide and face nearly purple from embarrassment.
“It’d be an insult to whoever created the voice to do so!” The words spilled out before he could stop them. He was supposed to reassure the kid, not make him panic more by pressuring him! “That is- Wild, you have the voice of an... I suppose Legend would say “an angel” whatever those really are. To be frank, I wouldn’t choose to forget it if I could.”
“I’m not a good singer.”
“Bullshit.”
The newest hero’s gaze shoots up to meet his own, shock written across scarred features at hearing him swear. “You-”
“Don’t tell Warriors.” He whispers with a wink- blink- whatever, it was meant as a wink, and hopefully Wild would read it as one.
“You swore.” Wild breathes
“And you lied.” He returns. “You’re a good singer. Confident, maybe not, but I thought I heard Maon when I first woke up, and unless you want to tell me that my wife has a poor singing voise-”
“No! Of course not!”
“Settled then.” He smiled. “You’re a good singer.”
The champion stares at him, ears twitching slowly and eyes blinking as he processes the words, before a light scowl pulls at the kid’s scars as he crosses his arms. “It- no!” At the grin he shoots at the kid, Wild whines softly. “Dad!”
Both freeze at that. Or rather, Time blinks repeatedly, shocked, and Wild’s hands fly up to his mouth, eyes wide and horrified.
“I’m sorry!” Wild blurts out, still hiding behind his hands. “I slipped I-”
Laughter, deep and rumbling enough that Twilight is happy grumbling against him in response, sounds through the camp as Time throws his head back. He can’t stop it, but he will embrace it. This is the best morning he’s had in ages and Hylia have him if he doesn’t take a moment to enjoy it! “You’re fine, Cub. I’ve been called much worse than that more than once. Unless of course,” He grins at the young hero, brows pulling down in a mock stare, even if he can’t hold his smile back to be convincing. “You think I’d be a bad one?”
“No! You’re an awesome- You’re going to be-” Wild is somehow redder than he was before and he stomps his foot almost petulantly as he catches on to the laughter that still rumbles in Time’s chest. “Time!”
“I don’t mind.” He rumbles out, and more than anything he wants to walk over and ruffle the kids hair, or wrap him in a hug, but he’s trapped by Twilight, and instead can only lift his free arm in an offer that Wild hesitates to take. He’s almost considering lowering his arm and rescinding his invitation when the champion barrels into his side, face buried in his shoulder as Golden hair fills his vision.
“I hate you.”
“Such disrespect to your father.” Time scolds playfully, gently pinching Wild’s ear and making the champion giggle at the touch. “What will your Mamalon say?”
“Ma-” Wild sits up again, staring down at him in confusion. “Mamalon?”
His lips pull into a smile again, something he’s done more this morning than he has nearly all week. “Something Legend calls her, which I’m stealing because she and I both like it.”
The champion’s eyes trail down to where scarred fingers still tangle into his tunic. “Can I call her that too?”
“Well,” He chuckles. “If I’m your Father Time, I think it’s only fair she’s you Mamalon.” At Wild’s smile he smirks. “Ad she’ll be delighted to learn you already know the family song, if only in part. Her mother wrote that for her you know, and I’m sure she’d love to teach you the rest of it. She taught it to me after all, and I used to sing as poorly as Twilight!”
Wild’s mouth opens and closes a few times as a light blush colors the kid’s cheeks before he shyly nods. “I’d- I think I’d like that.”
“Good.” And breakfast or no, Time thinks the others can wait for a half of a minute to eat after waking up, because if Twilight’s going to pin him down than he’s going to return the favor with his other son.

Hello, do you accept order? If yes, you could make a single one shot of Yandere! Brat Spoiled, please...
What would it be like if Yandere were the son of wealthy parents who always have everything they want, when they don't always get what they like, always act like a spoiled brat (and also his parents are afraid of their son, as they have already seen what he is capable of when he gets angry)... that's where the reader comes in. She is a new student at school, a nice and kind person, so the yandere knows her and falls in love so strongly that she never felt that way in life, but the reader is always rejecting her advances for being a spoiled brat and the way he treats the people around you.
What happens next?
Title: Eat the poor
Tw: non - consensual touching, obsessive/possessive behavior, violence, low-key bullying, blackmail / coercion, reader is in university
Part 2
It had started during your very first year of college, back when you still felt motivated to go to school and meet new people. You had heard the rumors about him before ever meeting his gaze and oh, did they disappoint.
You met Gabrielle for the first time when the snowdrops bloomed and the birds returned home – in the early autumn, at night, in a small crowded room reeking of alcohol, sweat and cheap cologne which you quickly realized wasn’t his. The man smelt like the cigarettes he never got bored of and sweet caramel. He was wearing a big leather jacket and a pair of dark jeans, yet the simplicity of the outfit seemed to suit the expensive brands displayed on the clothing. In a way the student represented the typical youthful boyish beauty with his golden locks, eyes the color of the sky and frame tall and well – built. Yet his face remained motionless the whole night and his body stayed still despite the mass of bodies dancing around in rhythm. But then some poor unfortunate fool managed to bump into the male, spilling his drink all over him, and his pretty face quickly twisted into a mask of disgust and anger.
“You stupid piece of shit!” The male yelled shortly after as his fist connected with the stuttering boy’s stomach. His clear eyes were now two wild thunderstorms pouring rain and lightning over the tipsy guy who was nervously apologizing and promising to pay for the damages done. “Do you know how much this costs?” Gabrielle spat with venom and pushed the other onto the floor, bringing his black sneakers to that white shirt until there was a mark of dirt formed on the otherwise clean fabric. Everyone else in the room had stopped drinking now and all the eyes were pinned onto the two men yet no one had the courage to do anything. Your own heart was beating hard in your chest at the sudden display of unnecessary violence but you had always been a calm kid, a kind soul too scared of its own shadow to learn how to fight properly. So you had no idea what to do.
“My father can have you expelled, you know.” The blond man suddenly spoke out in a quiet eerie voice as he pressed his foot harder into the shorter boy’s stomach causing him to whimper and squirm. “Unless you are willing to beg for my forgiveness, that is.” The bully proposed with a sly smirk on his pink lips as he glared at the victim underneath. The student on the ground was clenching his eyes tight so no one could see the tears in them when he shook his head no. You finally decided you couldn’t let this inhumane scene go any further.
“Stop this madness right now!” You shouted manically, drawing all the attention to yourself as you made your way between the two men. Gabrielle immediately pinned his burning gaze on you in unhidden intrigue. “This is too cruel. He didn’t mean to bump into you. Please, leave him alone.” As much as you had wanted to curse at the spoiled rich boy there was this suffocating feeling in your lungs telling you to be careful and play the mediator. The others quickly started gasping and some were already gossiping at your reaction proving your point that the guy was indeed dangerous.
Then he looked you straight in the eyes with his deep blue ones. He chuckled softly before smacking his lips in an unpleasant way, his “tsk” sending shivers down your spine. You had fucked up. “Well, well, well… Looks like the new girl wants to play hero. How cliché.” The bully grinned as he let his gaze roam up and down your body, your cheeks turning red in return when having realized he was handsome even while doing something so vulgar. “But if you do want to help him so badly…” The golden – haired man paused for a moment pretending to be deep in thought. “Maybe we could have a little deal, bunny.” He moved his leg away from the sobbing boy and stepped in front of you. From this close you could feel the warmth of his skin and the sweet aroma of burnt sugar it radiated. Gabrielle tilted your chin up almost gently and whispered in your ear “Kiss me.”
You tried to break free from the uncomfortable pose but the student simply squeezed your jaw line harder, his eyes cold and calculating, following your every move. You mind went blank and foggy at the forced intimacy and you couldn’t think straight with his breath on your neck. It felt like the time had slowed down just so the sadistic snob could mess with you a little longer. You opened your mouth to voice your protests but fortunately you didn’t have to say anything because at the very same time the host of the party appeared, ready to stop the fight.
“Gabrielle, I’d have to ask you to leave.” The dark – haired junior growled enraged as he pushed the taller male away from you. You couldn’t help but smile at him in appreciation. He was the only one brave enough to help you after all. “You are ruining the party for everyone. ” The stranger continued. The blonde seemed irritated at the sudden interruptance yet it was obvious he was powerless against the owner of the house. Still he grit his teeth and signed in annoyance as he turned to face the host. “Fuck you, Jackson!” The man cursed but eventually moved towards the door, red with anger. “My father will hear about this.” He looked at you as he reached for the golden doorknob, his features softened. “See you around, bunny.”
This was the first time you met Gabrielle. You already wished it was the last.
-------------------------------------------------------
After the incident the snob seemed interested in you, blatantly so. He would eye you up in the halls like you were a shiny new toy in a claw machine and try to strike a conversation no matter how much you ignored him. The man never once apologized for what happened at the party but at least he didn’t bring it up so you counted it as a small victory. You gradually understood just how much power and money the heir had. His father owned casinos, hotels, banks and apparently even the university you two were studying in received major monthly donations by the big businessman. This explained why everyone was so scared of the blonde, especially when he did nothing but flaunt his status at the slightest inconvenience. And now he wanted you.
In your eyes the boy was just an annoying brat who lived off daddy’s hard work, there really wasn’t much to him that intrigued you. The male was handsome, pretty even, but his grades were terrible and his interests were bland and shallow, mostly involving expensive brands and grand parties. But the worst thing about him was his personality. The snob treated his friends like servants and his enemies like dirt, but you he rather saw as a challenge. Gabrielle would ask you out every time you were unlucky enough to run into him. The first time the man gave you so many roses you couldn’t even count them, the second he demanded your affection with a silver necklace in hand ready to cover your neck in his mark of ownerships. You couldn’t recall all the other gifts the blonde used to try and court you with but you remembered refusing each and every one.
“Why can’t you just give me a chance?” He exclaimed one day after you had just returned the expensive bracelet you had found in your locker. It was a dark winter night and the heir seemed irritated with you for the first time, his eyes a deep electric blue just like the sky. The man had you cornered against the wall but you were used to his pathetic attempts at intimidation. Yet today there was something different in the air around him, some small voice at the back of your head wondered whether this time he wasn’t just joking around. “Are you still angry about that little wimp I expelled, bunny?” Gabrielle asked contemptuously yet his pupils remained cold and distant. Once again he was too close for your liking, too close for you to function properly, but that was probably exactly what he wanted. You to be compliant and obedient like all the others who crawled and kneeled at the very sight of him. “Or are you sulking because I beat up Jones after he asked you out, hmm?” What? The blonde man was the one who gave Tony the black eye? But he had told you it was just a street fight… Why had your friend covered for the bully you both hated?
“Why would you do that to him?” You whispered, staring at the twisted boy in front of you. Your heart was beating fast and your blood was boiling hot in your veins but you couldn’t let him win by showing him how much his actions affected you. Gabrielle reached out and cupped your cheek gently before smirking mischievously. “He was trying to take something that belonged to me.” The heir said casually as if he was talking about the weather. His fingers were cold against your warm skin and you fought the urge to vomit right then and there. “I am not yours.” You spat out with poison and pushed his hand away from your face. Next thing you know his knee was separating your thighs, lifting your short black skirt up, his breath lingering on your neck. “S-stop.” You stuttered and tried to squirm out of his hold but the man easily caught your wrists and brought them above your head, pinning you further into the wall. He was stronger than he looked and you felt so small and helpless in that moment you could have cried if your stubbornness hadn’t prevailed.
“What don’t you like about me?” The blonde suddenly spoke out, his voice unnaturally broken and needy, bordering on a whine, crying out in desperation. You weren’t sure whether he was trying to manipulate you now or if he actually wanted you to answer so you decided to be honest anyways. “I hate the way you treat other people. I could never love someone as cruel as you.” You inhaled deeply, ready to voice all the painful thoughts you had kept inside since the beginning of the semester. “You are spoilt rotten. Metaphorically and literally.” The man was breathing sharply like a wounded animal after hearing your words and as much as you wanted to sympathize with him, you couldn’t bring yourself to after everything he had done to you and your friends. He was irredeemable. “Let me go.” You finally demanded, hoping to use him weakened emotional state to your advantage.
Instead Gabrielle clenched his teeth and squeezed down harder on your already bruised wrists causing you to whimper in dull pain. His eyes were wet but the tears had finally stopped just like his willingness to show you his vulnerable side. The man had tried being nice and sweet to you, patient, then mean and patronizing, and neither worked. So obviously it was time to become the terrifying bratty monster everyone was so keen on believed he was.
“Have you noticed how many people seem to go missing after talking to you just once?” The heir whispered in your ear as his free hand traveled down to your waist, drawing you into his hard chest. You groaned at the sudden realization that the snob was actually right, less and less guys seemed to show up to your shared lectures in the last few months, but you had always assumed they just needed a break from school. University was stressful after all. “Did you…” You started off but couldn’t find the right words. Did you force your father to expel them? Did you harm them? Maybe a part of you didn’t want to know the answer. “I did.” Gabrielle responded before you could even finish the sentence. The sly smirk you knew way too well adorned his lips and it wasn’t hard to see he had already won. “And I will keep doing it until you agree to be mine and mine alone.” The man stated confidently as he sucked the sensitive skin of your neck until you arched your back in shock, your eyes rolling up to the ceiling. “N-nhgg.” You whimpered as you felt his teeth dig into your warm flesh leaving a scarlet mark for all to see. “Come on, baby, we both know you are too good to let them suffer because of your own selfishness.” He taunted you as he left a line of small wet kisses along your exposed collarbone. You wanted to argue, to yell at him how you weren’t the crazy, selfish one, but deep down you knew it was pointless. Gabrielle had power and you had nothing to bargain with. He could have anyone yet he wanted to torment you. “Give into me. I promise I can make you happy if you let me.” The blonde uttered softly as his lips brushed against yours, almost touching them, following your reaction with his clear eyes. Your own were puffy and red from the tears but he didn’t seem to care much about your misery and discomfort. The man wished to own, not to please, but you couldn’t do anything. And of course you wouldn’t let him ruin the lives of the innocent. Of course your stupid heart was too good and human for your own good. So you closed your eyes and slowly connected your lips with him even though they tasted almost metallic, like blood and defeat.
“I knew you would come around, bunny.”

Wait if you don't mind doing Xara again could you do your version of her and Romeo meeting again after the events of season 2
[warnings: violence, in the form of an angry xara with a sword]
Xara is halfway through a particularly ambitious safehouse build when he catches up with her. To his detriment.
"See if anyone has any extra redstone," she instructs the nearest builder, wiping the sweat from her forehead. "I'm all out."
"Already?" the builder asks, and he's cheerful about it as he admires her wiring. He could be one of Fred's people, but he could just as easily be from topside - she was surprised at the number of people who showed up wanting to volunteer.
She's tried telling them she's not interested in leading any more, but it won't fly. The Beacontowners don't know her, and the Underneathers who did know her never got to see her at her worst. She doesn't know how to tell them she's not the admin they remember. So Xara is minding her own business, and if they want to trail after her baton-passing inventory while she builds safehouses, that's their business.
But it's hard work, and the Underneath is still dangerous, and the lava makes everywhere far too warm and far too smoky. It doesn't put Xara in a good mood.
She's checking over her shoulder for monsters when she sees one, emerging from around the wall at the far end of the build, his red hair sticking to him with sweat and his white shirt covered in dirt and dust and soot.
"Xara!" he calls, out of breath from running and with the kind of scratchy throat you get when you don't drink enough. "Hullo! Thank goodness for that, I thought I'd never find you down here!"
She is, for a precious few seconds, unable to react.
Romeo reaches her and immediately bends double, panting. "Oh," he croaks out, "my god. I'm so tired. One second. I want-" a pause, more panting "-I, er - I want to apologise. In person. Bloody hell, this place runs you ragged…"
He can't see her while he's bent in half like that, which is why he doesn't catch the warning signs. Her eyes widen with intent, and she grits her teeth, and there is a dangerous tension in her shoulders.
He does hear the thud when she abruptly drops her pickaxe, though.
Romeo looks at the dropped tool and then straightens enough to look at her. "...Xara-?"
She lunges.
Romeo is an expert fighter. But so is Xara, and she's had so much longer to adjust to mortality again. When she unleashes an inhuman shriek and comes at him fuelled with such intensity that she's clawing at him like a wild animal, Romeo almost loses an eye.
"Wha- Xara! Xara, stop - stop, I'm - bloody hell-!"
When she pulls out her sword, he instinctively digs in his inventory for one of his own, but it's buried among a mess of junk blocks and he feels the long-forgotten pain of a blade slicing into the arm he raises to prevent it from getting him in the face.
"Augh! Xara!"
He finds it. It's a stone sword, damaged, he doesn't remember where he got it but it doesn't matter because he's on the retreat and he clumsily trips on a rock and he hits the ground and Xara is going to kill him-
Someone grabs Xara from behind and digs in their heels. She elbows them in the face, but they stand firm.
"Holy crap, Xara, calm down! Guys, need help-!"
They're joined by others. Romeo seizes his chance and scrambles backwards, sword discarded, clutching his bleeding arm and staring in shellshocked terror at the struggling woman being held back by four fellow builders.
"Cool it, Xara! Jesse wants him alive!"
"I don't care!" she screams, her throat already raw. "Everything he did! Everything he did to me! I'll kill him!"
One of the builders manages to flash Romeo a bitter look over their shoulder, with some difficulty. "You'd better get out of here," she warns him. Somewhere deep down, he recognises her. One of Fred's. Go figure.
Romeo, feeling something akin to panic, scrabbles for his blunted sword and uses it to push himself to his feet, and he takes off running. He does not look back.
With the adrenaline already fading into a mix of cold anger and grief and a sense of being very, very lost, Xara stops fighting them and sags.
They hold onto her, still unsure, until there is a distinctive sniff and she finds her feet. With less rage and more resignation, Xara wrenches herself free. They let her go this time. She's done.
"By the sky, Xara…"
Xara stabs her sword into the dirt point-first, staggers over to the automatic gate she's been building, and ducks out of sight into the wiring channel.
The group of volunteers exchange careful, bewildered glances.
"What happened to her?"
"I heard Romeo got worse," says the woman from Fred's keep. "After Fred."
A Beacontowner quietly gathers up Xara's discarded pickaxe and sword. "He must be nuts if he thought coming back here was a good idea."
In the dim light of a redstone torch, crouching under the low ceiling of the channel she dug for the redstone circuitry, Xara immerses herself in planning the rest of the loop. She counts the blocks, makes mental notes, and fills her head with numbers.
Occasionally she pauses just long enough to scrub at her eyes with the back of her wrist.
"We're ruined people, Fred," she sighs, after a while. "I don't know how to come back from it."
"Xara?" asks the woman who pulled her off Romeo. She's peering down into the low workspace with a nervous expression. "I-"
Xara huffs disinterestedly. "You can probably relax," she tells her. "I'm not crazy. I'm not going to hurt any of you. But I'm not... your admin. I tried to tell you."
The woman hesitates, fidgeting awkwardly. "...That's... It's okay. We, uh. We were wondering if you needed anything? A-and if you're okay?"
Xara pauses. The surprise makes her forget some of her laundry list of redstone supplies, and with a slow, searching glance over her shoulder, she finds herself strangely grounded.
"No," she says, stiltedly. "...No. Thank you. But I think... I think I'll head back to the Oasis now. Get back early. Go to bed." She runs a hand through her hair, and tucks a bit of it behind her ear. "Your little group should come. You'll be safer with me than without me." A beat. "Hard to believe, maybe."
"Easier than you'd think."

Human!Freddy Krueger x Fem!Reader || Oneshot
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Title: What The Fuck Now, Freddy!?
Notes:
This is not inherently romantic, at all. Or sexual. Just... Freddy being a bastard, and you are caught in the crosshairs- and are forever linked with him because of it.
I've been listening to Lizzie, a lot lately- and this is inspired by 'What The Fuck Now, Lizzie!?'
Also- I'm thinking this will have a part 2. Due to the ending not being quite enough. Maybe a part for the court proceedings!
Plot: Many will know the story of that terrible day Krueger essentially snapped- killing his wife, Loretta Krueger. She saw the basement, they say, and he didn't like that. Their daughter saw the whole thing and suffered a traumatic response to seeing the sight of her mother, strangled to death, by her father- and forgot the whole thing.
But if she were to remember something, one day.
She may remember something no one knows about that day, aside from Freddy himself.
She may remember, that someone else was there.
She may remember you.
//
Alternatively- you're being blackmailed by Freddy who found out you, another supposedly Plain Jane in Loretta's 'mothers club', is cheating on your husband and calls you up to help deal with the mess he made. Because who else did he have?
Warnings: Okay lemme see, its basically a potluck of triggers. Hm. Murder, swearing, cheating (You, on your husband. Not with Freddy), getting rid of a body, a child gets traumatised (Obviously, Kathy/Maggie), Freddy himself, mention of the basement and all that entails, reader with a very questionable moral compass. Look, I think if you can watch Freddy's Dead, you're good here.
I'm just heading out the door, to go grocery shopping - or, at least, that's the story I tell my husband. When really I don't do the grocery shop until the day after tomorrow. He never notices... - when the phone rings. By very nearly tripping over my feet in my endeavour to catch it before the ringing stops, I manage pick up the phone with very little injury besides an achy, slightly twisted ankle. "Hi! Hi, sorry, I'm here. Hello?"
Pouting, I sit down at the kitchen table; Rubbing my poor ankle to sooth the pain, which would soon diminish anyway. Still- I'm sorry, ankle. I'll try to chill.
When the voice on the other end reveals who it is who's called the house, I lose all need to be pleasant. Damn. I really need to memorise this goddamn number... so I can not answer it. "Whatcha wearin'?"
"Thank god Harrison didn't answer this, you fuck." I deeply roll my eyes. Thank god Har's out. No, this is not my mister, not the man I was going to meet just now- but its bad, enough. In an entirely different way. Its stupid, blackmailing, son of a... hundred maniacs. "What do you want?"
"What a way to answer the phone, Y/N. Gee, seems like every time I we talk, I'm learning how you really aren't in the right place, are you? Cheating on your poor husband, swearing... These aren't really signs of the perfect suburban house wife, is it?" Gritting my teeth, I keep from lashing out. I've learned, if you stay real quiet, Freddy wont have anything to pull from and will get bored quick. "Why so silent, hm?"
"... " Oh, fuck me. I cant help it. "Wondering where you get off judging me on being 'suburban', actually."
"Anywhere I like, thanks."
Oh... oh. Gross?
He doesn't see the disgust tearing my face into two perfect halves right now, but my silence must be enough as he laughs. The sound is directly into the phone, and harsh on my poor eardrums. Ugh... "Oh for gods sake... What are we? Fourteen years old?? Come on- why'd you call?"
"Uhhhh... " Quickly, midway through that drawn out 'um' sound, Freddy's voice transitions, and gets a whole lot darker. Something deep in his chest dislodging, to make it so. Perhaps, his heart. "Well... you might wanna come and see for yourself."
"Uh, I don't think so. I have somewhere to be right now- "
"Oh well you don't, anymore." And its clear what he isn't saying- or else I'll tell Harrison about Carter and set your life on fire. "Tell your boy toy you're takin' a reign check for the day. I think you'll last. In fact... after you come over here, you might be out of the game for a couple a hours at least- maybe days."
Hold on, hold on Freddy what the fuck- "What!?"
"... Believe it or not, I didn't actually mean for that one."
Moron.
~
Nevertheless, no matter how just... off setting, Freddy is, I had to when he asked. I had to jump when he said so.
Because if not, then he would tear my life apart.
So here I am, about to knock on that big red door he lives behind, wondering what I'm walking into. Where's Loretta? Where's Kathy? How long will the visit be? I told Carter I'd be an hour or two late- any longer and I wont see him at all today. Which would absolutely suck.
Just after my knuckles come down on the wood the first time, a hand comes down on my shoulder and I immediately jump out of my skin... then slowly look around.
There's Freddy, a cheeky grin on his face. It does nothing to set my nerves at ease. "Ugh... Why are you out here?"
"We're going to the backyard. Lets go." Taking me by the shoulders, he marches me around the side of the house, instead of through it for some reason, and into the familiar backyard. I've been here numerous times, as Loretta likes to hold our club meetings here - Barbecue's, tea's... that sort of thing. Just to let the kids play together and so the adults can enjoy some adult conversation. Its a nice yard... but depending on what her horrid husband is about to show me, it may not be considered as such anymore... - , but I'm now starting to develop a sick feeling in my stomach.
Honestly- I don't know much about Freddy at all. Yes, I went to school with him, but that doesn't mean much when he was a freaky loner kid the whole time. I remember he killed the class hamster once- that's about the only splash he ever made in the news pool; But it definitely stuck.
Yes, Loretta cleaned up his image a fair bit since getting married, but now he's blackmailing me, and as far as I know I'm now alone with him.
Suspicious of him suddenly, I slip out of his grip with a dirty look flashed his way. Don't touch me.
He just rolls his eyes, leading me around some hedges.
And then everything stops.
Him, me, the air; The air around me, the breeze, the breath in my throat.
There lays Loretta, on the ground. If I was really really naïve, I could imagine she were sleeping... or passed out, at least, due to the way she's sprawled out. No one would lay down like that willingly.
But... her eyes are open.
For a moment I'm tempted to kneel down; Take a closer look. Find out how, myself. Is she bleeding anywhere that I cant see now? Are her lips turning blue? If I moved some short red hair out of the way- would their be marks on her neck yet?
But then I come to my senses...
And freak. The fuck. O u t.
"What, the fuck, did you do!?" I whip around, looking at Freddy now which entirely new eyes. I mean, before I sure wasn't fond- but now I'm filled with something new, looking at him. Something a lot worse, something that makes me want to run. Run, and hide, and stay there.
And all these, even though he hasn't really changed. He still wears a mischievous smirk, stony blue eyes eating up my reactions... like always. But this time its just so so much worse. "Made some dead weight- now you're gonna help me get rid of it. So!" Finally, though its been only a matter of seconds, he turns his gaze off of me and I'm glad. That gaze is far too heavy. "Ideas?"
Only for a moment am I lost for words, struggling to push anything out. "I... I'm sorry??"
His gaze returns to mine, but this time my eyes are hard as his are dark. "Help. Me. Get rid of her. Fucking. Body. Or do you want your dirty laundry aired for the whole community to hear?"
Before I can help myself, I let out a sharp laugh, only succeeding in making Freddy's scowl deeper. "Freddy- this secret's a lot bigger, then mine. Sure, I might get divorced- but you're going to prison!" Does he get that? He's g o i n g to j a i l. Crossing my arms, I try to avoid looking at my ex-friend's body. I cant. "I'm sure as hell not gonna be in there with you, for being an accomplice."
I really cant look at her... I can only focus on Freddy. And that takes a lot of energy- its taking everything in me, in fact. Everything I have. But I have to. If its him or her, there's no choice.
But... then a creepy smile spreads across his face- a vast polarity to the frustrated glower of before. It makes my blood run cold.
"Ohhhh..." He looks almost ferocious, even in his composed state. Like a monster. Like any moment a fanged, inhuman creature is going to burst out of him and I'm going to wake up, and this will have been a nightmare. A horrible nightmare. The kind where that creature haunts me for a long time, after its over. After this over.
He's going to haunt me.
"You must think this is my first time... " My heart turns to ice, mouth hanging a little open... what the fuck have I found myself a part of!? Suddenly all the children's disappearances on the news lately come to the forefront of my brain... "Sweetheart, give a man his dues. I'm a hard working kinda guy... " I watch his gaze flicker to a door - the back door? No... The basement door, - and when a filthy smirk pulls at his mouth, my heart flies up into my throat. God, it makes me feel sick. I want to be violently ill. "My first was my adoptive Dad... pretty sick, huh?"
The fact that he didn't say anything about the basement, makes my imagination go wild. I swallow it down, though.
I just need to get out of here, and never think about this again.
And to do that I need to help Freddy get rid of this goddamn body- and... probably... testify at court... As the panic starts to finally rise up in my, right up to fill my throat, I immediately take in a deep breath and slowly let it out. "Okay... " No time to freak out. Now's the time for action.
Gaze flickering to Loretta again, I try to acclimatise to the sight. I think its a lost cause, though. "How did you get rid of him? Your Dad?"
"No, that's not gonna work. He was a drunk dead beat, and I just had to tell the police some guy's he owed money to came over to the house." Freddy grins happily at the memory, but then just as quickly, scowls at his poor deceased wife's body- that certainly cant fight back. I just tack this onto the long list of reasons I hate him. "Lore's such a goddamn goody goody- we cant do the same thing. You don't think I woulda thought of that??"
"Hey." I snap, hands braced on my hips as I flash a glare his way. "This is not the time to get defensive!"
"Whatever... "
Then- suddenly, something occurs to me. Confused, I look around; A deeply horrified feeling disturbing my stomach. "Hold on... Where's your daughter?" Seeing no sign of her anywhere, I definitely start to panic again- especially when I look to Freddy and just see a pert look in his eyes as he looks back at me, a smile that strikes something horrid inside me. My eyes narrow. "You sick fuck- where the fuck is she!??"
"Under the bed."
"What the fuck does that mean!?" I exclaim, frustrated and freaking out. He did not- he did not! Killing your spouse is one thing, but the kid?? Your own kid??
I don't wait around for him to be cryptic some more, and rush right into the house to look for her. Under the bed, under the bed, under the fucking bed...? Which fucking bed!? Forcing ferocity out of my voice, I carefully call out to Kathy. Hoping to god she answers. I try to sound normal. Maybe a little bit cheerful; Excited.
But my voice wobbles.
"Kathy?? Sweetheart, its Y/N! Are you hiding? I have something for you... " ?? You have something for her, Y/N?? God... now you have to figure out some kind of treat.
You know what? Whatever. We'll figure that out later.
Lets just hope we aren't searching for a corpse. I'd definitely be sick, seeing a child... the way Loretta is...
Shaking my head and clenching my fists, I try to focus on Kathy.
I check under the bed in the guest room because it comes into view first and she isn't there, then her bedroom and she isn't there either... and get a sick feeling as soon as I enter the last bedroom. Freddy's and Loretta's.
God, I've never been in here before but its like a museum peace now. A horrible one. Like if you would walk into the Titanic... or the Borden house.
"Kathy? You in here?" Flicking on the light I kneel down on the ground, and check under the bed.
And something immediately crashes over me, as the sight of her covering her eyes down there. It isn't exactly relief, because this whole situation is still phenomenally fucked up for her, but I am selfishly glad to not have to see her body... crumpled, just like her mother.
"Hey sweetheart," My voice quivers slightly now, but I quickly swallow. No. No. Now, you must be strong Y/N. "Its just me. Your Daddy was looking for you, and couldn't find you! It got him worried!"
"I... I don't wanna see Daddy. He hurt Mommy." Kathy doesn't remove her hands from her face, and stays firmly by the wall- too far away for anyone to grab. My heart sinks.
Slowly straightening up again, I try to take that piece of information in. Turning to the doorway, I see Freddy there. he must have followed me. I didn't even notice. Slowly, and quietly ferociously, I say; "She saw?!"
He has the good sense to look embarrassed, even if it is just to make fun of me. "It was spur of the moment... " He shrugs. "I didn't have time to get a babysitter!"
What a fucking excuse. For gods sake.
I'm definitely dealing with a psycho- if that was even a question before now.
Swiftly, I look down under the bed again, because I'm afraid that if I continue to engage with him- I'll scream, and I'll lose my breath, and I'll scare Kathy even more. She's at the forefront of my mind; That's all I can think about.
But what to do with her after I get her out from under this bed, I don't know. I cant give her back to her father... but I cant hand her over to the police either because that would involve telling them about Loretta, and... Freddy will definitely kill me, for that.
This is a nightmare of a situation.
I'm just opening my mouth to say something - what, I don't know yet, - when she speaks, instead. "Is he there?"
"... Yes." I wont lie to her; That would be treating her with not nearly as much respect as she deserves.
When she takes a deep breath and rubs her eyes, as if just trying to keep herself together, my heart clenches. God... and to think I might not have picks up Freddy's call today. I would have been leaving her with this. For the first time today, I'm morbidly glad I came.
She speaks in that loud, hissy way that kids think is a whisper. "Can he... can you please make him go away?"
Immediately I straighten back up and look to Freddy again, my eyebrows raised halfway up my forehead. Like well? "Get out."
"I don't think you're in a position to make demands here, bi- "
"Do you want Kathy to live down there now!??" I snap, trying not to be scared. Not really feeling scared, actually. Just happy to have a reason to tell him to get the hell away from me.
A deep frown creases his mouth, deeply unhappy about the situation, but steps back. I only hear him step out of the way of the door, but its good enough. Quickly, I get up and close the door - fighting with myself not to slam it, - and lock it.
Then I return to the floor, and see this time Kathy has uncovered her eyes. She looks so small, smaller then she actually is, and she looks like she's shaking. Little red bows and piggy tails in her hair are messy from crawling under the bed. "He's gone, sweetheart. And I locked the door."
She just nods, so I take the silence as a chance to offer my hand to her. "Take my hand, sweetie? Come on out from under the bed. Its cold down there, and no one wants you getting sick." I need to upkeep the family friend bit, I need to sound caring and collected. I need her to trust me.
Her big eyes, not Loretta's colour or Freddy's, look nervous as hell. And she shakes her head.
Taking a deep breath, and I conjure all the sincerity as I can. And mean it. My eyes soften and I try really hard, to resent myself as someone trustworthy- which is hard, seeing as I've never really been that. I mean, I'm cheating on my husband. I told Carter today the same lie I told Harrison when i knew I was going to be late. The only person I think who knows the truth behind all my lies is Freddy. That says something about a person, that the only person who knows them is a psychopath.
But I want to, I need to, be good for this little girl. And there's no time for me turn my life around so it has to start with this. How fucked is that?
"... I promise, I'll take care of you. He wont hurt you."
After a few whole minutes, in which I stay silent because yes she's a child, but she's still thinking, she crawls over and takes my hand, letting me lead her out. Crawling into my lap as I cross my legs under her, she buries her face in my shirt- hiding. "You promise?"
Taking a deep breath, because I've really done it now, I offer my pinky for her to see if she turned her head. I know Freddy's listening to all of this through the wall, but I try not to freak out. "Pinky swear?"
"Pinky swear." She peaks out from my shirt, and curls her little finger around mine. Okay... "Y/N... I'm scared."
"Yeah... Me too, sweetie."
What am I going to do?

In the Steel Steeds Heart
Chapter 10: Crash and Burn
Warnings: strong language, sexual themes, blood/gore, mentions of trauma/ parental death
Summary: It’s finally time to give Sturm a test drive. Everything should go just fine….Right?
Feedback appreciated. 18+
No smut this time…sorry
Tumblr media
The day had arrived: Sturm was finally ready for a real test drive. Heisenberg was on cloud nine, waking up Juniper early. He greeted her bedside with a cup of coffee, urging her up and into the kitchen. After she was awake enough to cook, they made breakfast together.
Heisenberg fried sausage links while Juniper buttered toast. A shared breakfast was rare between them with their differing times of rising.
They sat at the table across from one another. Heisenberg smiled at her, thinking they looked like a perfect little married couple. She looked so sweet to him in the mornings: curly hair a mess and cheeks still rosy with sleep.
Juniper moved her breakfast around her plate pondering, “Hey, why does the Duke allow you to have a tab when it’s apparently ‘against policy’ ?”
Heisenberg stabbed a piece of sausage before he spoke, “Well, do business with him damn near a hundred years and he may work more with you.”
He chewed a mouthful before continuing, “And besides I only use a tab when I send you out to pick up my orders.”
“Why?!”
“I don’t trust you with a satchel of lei.” He smirked.
“That’s rude.” Juniper wrinkled her nose, “And sexist.”
Heisenberg nodded along with her as he ate.
Seeing him agreeing made her lips curl in a small smile.
“Misogynistic?” He asked, mischief in his eyes, pointing his fork to her with a raised brow.
“It may be.” She giggled.
“And dare I say, stereotypical?” He fixed her with a mock seriousness.
“All of the above.” She agreed, trying to mimic the tone.
They held the stare down for a long moment, both trying to keep their lips from twitching.
They failed.
The kitchen erupted with a storm of laughter. Heisenberg put his knuckles to his mouth in an attempt to stifle the sound, causing Juniper to lose her composure even further.
She loved to see his eyes crinkle with real glee.
~
Juniper followed him down to the workshop, assisting in getting the comatose Sturm onto a cart and clipping the restringing bands into place.
He kissed her forehead, thanking her for her help as he began to push the cart towards the elevator.
They didn’t go to the arena, Sturm not quite battle ready. This was just his first test drive, to let him fully power on in an open space.
Heisenberg picked the room that Juniper had previously laid waste to, seeing as it couldn’t get much worse. Or so he thought.
He sat the cart down, unbuckling the restraints and instructing Juniper to stay plenty back.
He joined her, excitement oozing from him.
Sturm powered on, the hum of his motor filling the room. He stood up, taking several heavy steps before pausing, the sound like a motorcycle emanating from him as he revved his engine.
Juniper glanced at Heisenberg, seeing worry pricking his face. His jaw was tight but his eyes didn’t leave his creation.
Suddenly Sturm surged forward, moving as fast as his legs would allow. The chainsaw propeller turned wildly as he went.
Sturm didn’t stop or even slow down until he ran headfirst into a series of pipes in the walls. Juniper frowned, seeing the overly large core on his back flickering dangerously.
The creature tugged backward once, finding itself stuck.
Heisenberg made a sound of aggravation, starting to walk forward to assist. It was too late.
Strum lifted his arms in an attempt to free himself easier. Before Heisenberg could get close enough Sturm had pulled away from the pipes.
His propeller instantly spun back to life, without the foresight to remove his arms.
“Shit!” Heisenberg yelled as Sturm’s arms were quickly and efficiently sliced off at the elbows.
Black blood spurted out from the stumps as the creature struggled to turn around. The forearms fell like stones on the floor, fingers twitching.
Juniper’s stomach fell as she watched the creature almost slip in its own puddle of blood clumsily. It was clear he wouldn’t function smoothly.
“What the fuck are you doing, you piece of metal garbage?!” Heisenberg yelled, storming closer. Juniper felt the pressure rise in the room.
Sturm stomped just enough out of the way of Heisenberg, surging forward a second time and just running with wild abandon across the room, spilling gore as he went.
Heisenberg didn’t move for a moment, watching Sturm bump into the opposite wall, almost dumbfounded.
But as the shock evaporated it was replaced with pure rage and embarrassment.
His charms clinked together as a heavy hum started to rumble around him.
All the little pieces of metal started to rise and vibrate.
“….Karl?” Juniper called out worriedly, taking a tentative step toward him.
Heisenberg’s head hardly turned toward her before he growled, “Get out.”
Juniper shook a bit, her compassion overriding her sense of self preservation, “Karl, please talk to me.”
He looked at his hands, the metal swirling more erratically.
“I said, get the fuck out!” He bellowed, baring his teeth. His muscles were tight and the air seemed to pop.
Juniper turned and fled, running up the stairs. As soon as she was a safe distance away she heard the room explode with noise. The sound of scrapping metal and things being thrown with inhuman force reverberated throughout the factory.
Heisenberg's voice could just be heard over the chaos, screaming obscenities.
Juniper kept moving, grabbing her coat as she went. She’d never seen him that bad, that far into his anger. Slight fear swirled her stomach, she wanted fresh air.
She didn’t stop moving until she burst through the entry door, her boots meeting snow.
She stopped, bracing her hands on her knees as she took ragged breaths. Her heart hammered like a scared bird in her rib cage.
She could still hear the muffled impacts of Heisenberg’s anger, even up here.
She steadied herself, needing more space. She looked up to the back gate, the way leading to the mountains.
As soon as she was past the gate she was greeted with company. A group of Lycans, and even a varcolac, decided to follow her.
They all started the trek up the mountain path.
~
His boiling anger slowly turned into a simmer, the rage becoming a dull throb. His arms fell limply to his sides, sweat soaking into his shirt.
Sturm still wandered around the room, haphazardly getting caught in the pipes.
Heisenberg’s breath was ragged as he watched the creature bumble around. He hated it, hated that it was such a glaring failure.
All the time he wasted on him made his stomach turn. He looked down at his gloved hands, grimacing, the conviction to destroy more leaving him.
Now the displeasure of his failure seeped into his bones and he hungered for something other than chaos. He wanted comfort.
He looked around the room, at all the destruction and sharpness of twisting metal.
“Doll?” He called out, hoping she had stayed somewhat close. He waited for a long moment, listening above the grind of machinery, for a response. Silence greeted him.
Sighing he made his way to the apartment, it being her normal escape from his outbursts.
It, too, was oddly quiet. Heisenberg’s chest tightened as he explored further, finding the bathroom and balcony also vacant.
Worry started to etch deeply into his features.
He headed back into the factory, his sharp eyes catching that her coat was missing from its hanger near the door.
“Buttercup?!” He called loudly down the open elevator shaft. When no answer came the worry became a stinging thorn in his chest.
Had he gone too far this time?
The thought poisoned him as he made his way down each level. Doors rattled open by themselves as he passed, his fingers almost itching to press the alarm. When only the familiar sounds of the factory greeted him he began to shake.
“Juniper?!” He called out finally, unable to keep his voice even. He found his way to the main door, pulling it open quickly.
There were footprints in the wet ground, much fresher than the rest.
His heart sank, eyes following them in the directions of the mountains.
~
The varcolac seemed to enjoy her company, padding besides her heavily as she went. In truth she had no real destination, just wanted time away. The creature’s tongue lolled out happily, other Lycans joining in. They seemed more grouped up then usual.
Juniper wasn’t scared as she’d been in the past, aware they wouldn’t harm her without being provoked.
They would even chase after small items she found if she threw them. She giggled, seeing two fighting over an old children’s toy.
Feeling a burn in her legs she decided to rest. She chose a sunny outcropping of rock.
The sun baked stone felt warm under her as she sat. The varcolac scrambled up to join her, flopping down with a deep sigh.
Between the sun and the heat radiating from the hulking beast, she was comfortably warm enough.
Juniper closed her eyes, listening to the wind through the mountains. In an odd way it was peaceful. Even when surrounded by death and twisted monsters there was an almost soothing silence.
It was in moments like these she could attempt to process everything she’d been through. The trauma that hid in the dark parts of her mind, waiting to pounce on her when she was weak.
She tried to remember her life before.
So much was stripped away. Flashes of her past coated in pain and haze. She couldn’t remember the faces of her family, or her mother. They were gone, but now even their memories were taken from her.
She felt a tear run down her cheek, like a bead of fire down her chilled face. She pulled her legs up to her chest, sniffing. As much as she tried to ignore it everything just felt fragile and foreign. She burst into broken sobs.
The varcolac shifted besides her, sniffing at her coat when it heard her anguish.
She wiped her nose on her coat sleeve, trying to calm down. Juniper attempted to fill her mind with all the positives: she was alive, had a warm bed to sleep in and didn’t go hungry. Touching her compass, her mind went to Heisenberg. Although he was rough and capricious, he was hers. She truly cared for him, so much more than she thought possible. Her heart swelled, the feeling soothing her.
The Lycans stirring and scurrying away caused her to look up. Heisenberg stood on the trail a few paces down. He was still, his eyes a mix of anger and fear behind his shades.
The varcolac gave a low growl as he took a step towards her.
His head snapped towards the creature, baring his teeth. It whimpered, shrinking back before scrambling off the rock.
Heisenberg huffed out before looking back at Juniper. She didn’t feel like she could breathe, her earlier thoughts still hanging heavily over her.
“What the hell are you doing?!” He looked over her, previous worries making his voice harder then he intended.
His tone caused her to spill over again. Juniper blinked up at him with large glassy green eyes. Tears ran down her cheeks as her face scrunched up.
All the anger drained from Heisenberg’s form, worry and fear quickly replacing it.
He crumpled down, throwing his arms around her. She yelped as he pulled her into a desperate hug. He clutched her tightly, giving a pleading whisper into her hair, “I’m sorry, I’m so fucking sorry.” He gulped, all the words tumbling from his lips, “Please don’t leave.”
He thought she was running away?
That realization struck Juniper like a bolt of lightning. Her hands found his back, returning the hug and burying her messy face into his coat.
She felt him tremble a bit under her, causing her to sob anew. Unaware of the true reasonings behind her crying he scooped her up off the rock, not wanting to lose her for a moment.
“Please come back.” He whispered, almost crushing her to his chest.
“I-I…” Juniper sniffled, trying to formulate a full sentence.
Heisenberg let her go enough to look at her face. Her eyes were red and puffy, cheeks a mess, hair clinging to the moisture. He reached up with a free hand and smoothed the hair away.
“I…I wasn’t.” She looked down, “I wasn’t running away.”
Heisenberg shuttered with relief, his lips weakly twitching into a smile.
“You were so angry…I.” Juniper sniffed, “I just wanted to go outside for a bit…to see the mountains. I don’t want to leave.”
His heart soared, cradling her back to his chest.
She gulped, feeling the stress flow out of his form.
Juniper held onto him until her breathing slowed.
“Karl?” She chirped.
“Hm?”
“Can we go home?”
“…of course.”
He didn’t allow her to walk until they were almost all the way back, instead holding her close as they went. She didn’t argue, enjoying his warmth.
Once back in the apartment Heisenberg showered first. After washing away all the filth and somber feelings down the drain he haphazardly dried then sprawled across the bed. He lay looking up at the ceiling with glazed eyes, fidgeting with his necklaces.
He listened to the sound of the shower as Juniper cleaned herself.
He didn’t realize how much it would hurt finding her missing, she had become a normality in his chaos.
“Karl?” Juniper chirped, approaching the bed. “Hm?” Heisenberg raised a brow, scratching his chin. He lay down across the sheets in only boxers and a light shirt.
“I was cleaning up the storage room the other day and found some old books.” She sat on the bed, one of them in her hand.
She held it up; its old leather cover showing delicate gold text, worn with time.
“I think it’s in Dutch.” She mused, opening it up.
Heisenberg shifted closer, looking at the pages.
His eyes scanned over the words for a moment before he made a sound of realization.
“It’s not Dutch, it’s in German!” He smiled. He snaked his arms around Juniper’s waist pulling her backward, deeper into the bed.
She giggled a bit as he shifted into a more comfortable position, keeping an arm around her. She cuddled into his side, looking over the words.
She was unable to read the words, but still liked looking it over in almost a childlike way.
“Why do you have so many German books?” She asked, “Can you speak German?”
“When I was younger I could.” He placed his chin on her shoulder, “Very rusty now.”
She bounced a bit, smiling excitedly.
“Say something in German!”
“Why?”
“I want to hear it.”
“Shit, give me a second”
His pale eyes clouded with thought, hugging her closer as he did so. She cuddled into his side. Juniper loved his warmth, like an electric blanket.
He shifted enough to look into her eyes.
“Du bist die sterne meiner nacht.”, his voice was gentle, the thicker accent surprising her a bit.
The way his lips moved and the way the words hit her ear enthralled her.
“What does it mean?” Juniper blinked up at him.
“If you wanted to understand me you shouldn’t have asked me to speak German.” He smirked, amusement sparkling in his eyes.
“You’re a bastard!” Juniper lightly shoved him, causing him to bark with laughter.
(Du bist die sterne meiner nacht: You are the stars of my night)

His Lady, Salacious
The Phantomhive maid was taking far too long, she realized in mild irritation. She’d called the klutzy woman to her room to help her out of the godforsaken dress she’d been squeezed into so she could get ready for bed, but the redhead was nowhere to be seen. Honestly… She could feel a headache coming on. What an incompetent help Earl Phantomhive had.
“Pardon the intrusion, my lady.”
Well, not entirely incompetent. 
“Come in.” She called out, turning on her heels to face Sebastian as he came into the room and closed the door behind himself. She levelled him with a stern look, crossing her arms under her bust, “Where is the maid?” 
Sebastian gave her a tightlipped smile, his eyes shut in faux politeness. “I apologize, my lady, Mey-rin is currently indisposed. I will be assisting you tonight.” He informed her in that condescending tone he used on all the guests.
She let out a small scoff and turned again, pushing her hair aside to show him her back. “Help me with my dress, I’d like to retire for the evening.” She ordered coolly. 
“Yes, my lady.” She heard him say in reply before his gloved fingers worked on undoing the back of her dress. The expensive clothing loosened over her frame and she let it pool at her feet, stepping out of it to allow him to pick it up. A smirk tugged at the corner of her lips when she felt him pause, his fingers ghosting over the bare skin of her thigh. “Do you like them? I had Miss Hopkins make them for me.” Those pesky bloomers were replaced by a small, thin slip that stretched over her arse and covered her mound.  
He pressed his hand against her leg, tracing up her smooth flesh until settling on her hip as he rose to his full height. “Miss Hopkins.” Sebastian repeated, disgruntled, after realizing what she’d said. 
“The woman might be a pain in the arse, but her appreciation for modernized clothing is a breath of fresh air.” She admitted, drumming her fingers on the wooden bedpost. Her smirk widened and she nudged her hips back, pressing against the growing bulge in his trousers. His fingers dug into her soft skin and she heard him let out a shaky breath. “I asked you something, butler. Do you like them?” She repeated, rolling her hips back against him once more. 
Finally, the always pristine Phantomhive butler uttered a groan and ground against the swell of her arse. “Yesss.” The word came out in an inhuman hiss that made her throb in want. 
“Do you want to do something about it, butler?” She continued, hiding her growing excitement behind a cool facade. She looked over her shoulder slyly, meeting his glowing red eyes without an ounce of fear. His lips had parted as his breathing grew ragged at the intoxicating smell of her arousal, fangs replacing his straight teeth. “How salacious… You may do what you like.”
No sooner than the words had left her mouth, his gloved hands were suddenly replaced by sharp claws that tore away her underwear. She gasped in surprise before pursing her lips with a huff, mildly irked that a pair of her recently acquired underwear was destroyed on its first day. That hellish butler better make up for it. 
His hand reached down her front to cup her mound, pressing his fingers against her wet folds almost teasingly. She hummed, pleased, and rolled her hips into his touch. “So wet,” Sebastian purred, eyes half lidded as he pressed his nose against the curve of her jaw. He breathed in deeply, filling his lungs with the smell of her, and let out a low groan. She felt the way he quivered, dipping his middle finger inside her walls and grinding the heel of his palm against her clit. 
Her soft moan was echoed by one of his own, his tongue darting out to taste the unblemished skin on the column of her throat. His other hand travelled up her side to press against her abdomen, still covered by the tight coutil of her corset, and tug her closer to himself. Sebastian continued the sinful rolling of his hips, his clothed erection rubbing against the globes of her ass. 
She leaned back against him with another breathy sigh, reaching back to thread her fingers into his soft hair and keep his mouth pressed against her skin. Sebastian let out a pleased rumble, placing open mouthed kisses on her neck, mindful of the sharpness of his teeth. He added another finger, curling them and rubbing her clit more firmly. Her juices soaked his palm, filling the room with the wet noises of his ministrations. 
“Sebastian,” She began while tightening her hold on his hair, fully aware of the tightness in her abdomen that warned her of an incoming orgasm. She wouldn’t do that just yet, though, no matter how skillful he was with his fingers. “Get on with it.”
There was a warm rush of air by her ear as he exhaled sharply, the shadows in the corners of the room growing with his arousal. His fingers left her mound, her walls clamping around nothing at their absence, and he gripped onto her hips. She held onto the bedframe, a delighted shiver running down her spine as he leant over her, the blunt head of his cock nudging against her soaked folds. 
He filled her with a swift thrust, sheathing himself to the hilt inside her velvety walls. “So warm, my lady,” Sebastian moaned lowly, feeling how her cunt hugged his hard length. His clawed hands ran up and down her sides, tracing the patterns of the corset before grabbing her chest with a greediness uncharacteristic to his perfect butler persona. 
She smiled to herself, moaning softly and bucking back against him. As always, his cock pressed up against all the spots inside of her that made stars burst across her vision. Perhaps the loss of her underwear was worth it. Sebastian moaned and growled over her, purring praises into her ear as he bucked his hips harshly. 
The smack of his pelvis against her backside and the wet, filthy sounds of his cock impaling her again and again reverberated around the room. “You’re like an animal, butler.” She chuckled breathily, letting out a small noise of pleasure when he thrusted his hips especially hard, his balls smacking against her engorged clit. “Ah, I wonder what the little earl would say if he knew you got like this over a potential suspect.” The Earl Phantomhive suspected her, yes, but she was not the culprit of the particular crimes he was investigating.
Sebastian didn’t reply verbally to her teasing, he rarely did, and took her earlobe into his mouth to nip at it with sharp teeth, relishing in the shudder than racked her spine. His large hands squeezed her covered breasts and a spurt of precum painted her walls. “My lady, my sweet, mine,” Sebastian uttered possessively into her skin, nearly drooling in pleasure at finally relishing in her soft flesh and warm little cunt after watching her longingly from the other side of the room for the past few hours that had felt like a painful eternity. “All mine.”
“And what about you, dear butler?” She turned her head, her nose brushing against his as she stared into his hazy eyes. “Who do you belong to? Are you mine?” 
His mouth fell open with a breathless groan, his back hunching as he curled tightly around her body, “Yours. Yes, yours, my lady.” Sebastian gasped, his thrusts wild and erratic as the coil in his abdomen tightened. He pressed his forehead against hers, hair in disarray, “I’m all yours…”
She caught Sebastian’s lips with hers, sliding her tongue inside his mouth to brush against his own, thoroughly enjoying the unabashed groan that left his throat. “Mm, good boy.” She uttered between kisses, “Why don’t you go on and come, love? Come inside me, beautiful.” She gently coaxed, lightly scratching his scalp with her nails.
He pulled his mouth away from hers to let out a drawn out groan, his hips stuttering. He quickly reached down to rub quick circles on the slick nub of her clit, his hot breath hitting the skin of her shoulder. Sebastian held her tighter and her eyes fluttered shut in pleasure, her hand reaching out to grab his free one. She held it up to her face and pressed her lips against the Faustian contract mark branding his pale skin. 
He bit down on her shoulder to muffle his cry of pleasure, giving one last thrust to bury himself as deep as he could go before his release flooded her convulsing insides. Her hand tightened around his and she moaned lowly, her legs trembling from the intensity of her orgasm. His tongue darted out to collect the blood seeping sluggishly from the bite and he gave it a chaste kiss, his long lashes brushing against her skin. 
Nothing her hair and a little makeup wouldn’t fix. But, it wasn’t like she truly cared about the opinions of close minded imbeciles and gossiping housewives. 
She let out a satisfied sigh and gave his arm a firm pat. Sebastian let out a disgruntled sound, but slipped out of her and stepped back. She turned to him, brushing her hair back with her fingers and looking over his disheveled appearance with a smirk. “My, my, Mr. Michaelis, at this point I’d say you have a fetish.” She drawled, placing her hand on her corset. He pursed his lips and reached behind her to undo the laces of the article before producing a wet cloth to clean up the dripping mess between her thighs. “If I didn’t wear one of these every day, I’d probably be dead by now.” She noted, referring to her still uneven breathing. A lesser woman would’ve suffocated and fainted. 
“I would allow no such thing, my lady.” Sebastian murmured while helping her into her nightgown. He slid on a clean pair of gloves and adjusted his clothing, smoothing out the wrinkles. 
She hummed lightly and ran her fingers through his hair, taking in the soft expression on his handsome face. The only other time she saw it was when a feline was in the vicinity. “Will you join me in bed tonight or will you continue to lurk in the shadows and watch me from afar?” She asked quietly, a small smile tugging at her mouth. He blinked down at her, surprised. “Come on now, I thought you learned not to underestimate me.” 
A smile of his own took over his lips, something both proud and wicked in his eyes. “My sincere apologies, my lady. I’ll have to sweep the grounds for any unwanted guests before joining you in five minutes.” Sebastian replied and his eyelids lowered, his eyes burning red when she caught his chin between her fingers with a mischievous gleam in her sharp gaze. 
“Return in two minutes and I’ll let you bury your face between my thighs.”
“Yes, my lady.”

anyway I need to go to bed but I have too much energy so I am channeling it into headcanons. here u go species headcanons for Everyone on the Dream smp with explanations because I’ve put a TON of thought into this. They’re probably like half contradicted by canon but fuck it My City Now.
Dream- A (juvenile) stage of being a god. He, DreamXD, and Drista have become known as “dreamons” but that’s technically a separate species, all spawned from them. He's not really focused on being worshipped in his own right, preferring power in the mortal realm, though he’s not averse to pretending to be his brother (the god worshipped by Church Prime) or his sister (a minor goddess of death worshipped by many hidden cults) if it can help him get power. He’s got pure white skin everywhere except his face (which is pale but human-like), black blood, entirely green eyes, pointed ears, fangs, claws, and digitigrade legs ending in hoof-like claws.
George- A human, the only human on the whole server. Humans are pretty rare, vastly outnumbered by hybrids but outnumbering any other species, and “pure” humans (what we'd consider to be a completely normal appearing human) are all but nonexistent. For example, George has eyes with dark sclera and white irises.
Sapnap- A blaze hybrid. He’s got a few rods surrounding him and his eyes blaze with fire. It’s usually just warm but not hot enough to hurt but if he's agitated or upset it can easily burn hot enough to set things ablaze.
Callahan- A reindeer hybrid. He’s got antlers, reindeer ears, fur around his arms, and hooves.
Awesamdude- A creeper hybrid. He's tauric, with four insect like legs. His skin and is green and mottled and has a texture similar to leaves. His eyes are pitch black. He has a tendency to make hissing sounds when stressed, though he can’t explode like a full blooded creeper.
Alyssa- A mouse hybrid, with large mouse ears and a long tail. This definitely isn’t an in joke for the thousands of hours I spent browsing TVTropes as a child and the “what happened to the mouse” tROPE SHUT UP.
Ponk- A demon hybrid, with pointed ears, slit pupils, a small spaded tail, and small horns.
BadBoyHalo- A full blooded demon, with pointed ears, a tall stature, pitch black skin and hair, fangs, claws, hooves, a long spaded tail, long horns, and small bat like wings. He’s rather self conscious about how intimidating he looks. He's also a lich (with Skeppy as his phylactery) which is why he has pure white eyes (a trait the undead share).
TommyInnit- An absolute mess, genetic wise, since I’m taking Tommy's joke about being born in a lab and running with it. He's mostly angel, and was basically cloned from Phil's DNA (from a feather that fell off his wings that somehow someone got a hold of) but had a bunch of other hybrid and human DNA mixed in to make him somewhat stable enough to actually survive gestation. He has very small, dark wings that are useful for balance and little else, fangs, claws, and pointed ears. His bones are very light, making him fragile but a lot more dexterous. His blood is slightly off a human's, being slightly pinkish. His freckles, wings, blood, and eyes glow slightly and are patterned like the night sky. Technically undead as of his resurrection, and maintains the many injuries of his death permanently (bruises stay and don’t heal but don’t worsen, broken limbs can be moved at unnatural angles, ect.), pale, corpse like skin, and one of his eyes turned pure white.
Tubbo- A ram hybrid, with small curved ram horns, horizontal pupils, ram ears, a tail, and hooves. Nice and simple after the absolute mess that was Tommy.
Fundy- A limited shapeshifter, able to change his species, though he prefers to be in a fox-like form. He inherited this from Sally, who had similar abilities, though with more strength. He's always got certain features he inherited from each parent that he can’t change though- wings, pale skin, and ice-like freckles from Wilbur, and salmon scales coating his wings and cheeks, and ginger-and-white hair from Sally.
Punz- A dragon hybrid, with dark horns, dark sclera and slit pupils, wings just large enough for limited flight, a strong tail, fangs, claws, and blue scales coating his cheeks, wings, tail, arms, and legs. Has a natural inclination to sleep in a pile of his wealth he only holds off on when he feels it’s at risk of being stolen (which, since this is the Dream SMP, is almost constantly).
Purpled- An enderman hybrid, with small horns, pointed ears, purple blood, and ender particles surrounding him. Parts of his arms and legs are covered in leathery, pure black skin.
Wilbur- Half angel, half fucking refrigerator because cc!Wilbur hates us (affectionate). His skin is unnaturally, icy pale, and his blood is an icy blue. His freckles are the colour of ice reflecting. He's got wings from his father, large enough to glide, but they’re pale coloured and slightly transparent. He has fangs claws, and pointy ears. His blood, wings, and eyes glow slightly and are patterned like the night sky. As Ghostbur, he’s got the injuries of his death apparent at all times, though they don’t hinder him or cause him pain, corpse like skin, pure white eyes, and is permanently transparent.
JSchlatt- A ram hybrid. He’s got large ram horns, dark sclera and horizontal pupils, a ram tail, fur around his arms, and hooves.
Skeppy- A construct made to be Bad's phylactery. He's fully made of diamond, and appears as a moving human statue (though entirely made out of diamond), though he has limited shape shifting ability to change his “hair” and “clothes”, though he has to remain the same mass. He has some small red detailing on him out of redstone (which was used partially in his contruction). The egg flipped the red and teal in his colour scheme. Also he's smalllllllllllll.
Eret- Part ghost, due to being descended from Herobrine. She has pure white eyes, pointy ears, and under stress he becomes partially transparent. They tend to hide their nonhuman features (ears under hair or hats and eyes under sunglassses) and are often mistaken for human.
Jack Manifold- Started as a wolf hybrid, with large wolf ears and a tail. After dying, he came back from hell as a hellhound with red and blue “flames” coming from his eyes, ears, and replacing his missing tail he lost in one of his deaths with two made of this fire. The fire is chillingly cold to the touch, and not warm. His eyes are also monocolour, though in heterochromatic red and blue instead of the usual pure white found in undead.
Niki- A moth hybrid, with antennae, monocolour amber eyes, fluffy wings, and more fluff around her neck, wrists, and torso. These and her hair are patterned gold and black, though as of now she’s dyed them all pink. Idk I just feel like moths fit her for some reason.
Quackity- A duck hybrid, with golden wings and webbed hands and feet. He’s also a shapeshifter of sorts, however instead of shifting into different forms he shifts into different beings, from alternate realities that never came to be. These can be used to shift into near identical copies of those around him, to impersonate them, or to shift into alternate versions of people (like Mexican Dream to Dream). These aren’t Quackity, though, and as such they have their own pool of canon lives, and while he has lots of influence over them they can still act autonomously.
Karl Jacobs- An inter dimensional being made of time itself. While his current form is mostly human, he has technicolour rainbow blood, freckles, and patches on his skin, along with clock-shaped pupils that change with the time. His “natural” form is a vaguely humanoid mess of ever shifting colour.
HBomb- I didn’t know what to do with him at first- he was a cow hybrid in my pfp set- but I just think the idea of him being a chill cat hybrid who turns full nyaa whenever he’s in a maid dress to be funny so he’s a cat hybrid now. With dyed-white cat ears and a dyed-white cat tail.
Technoblade- A piglin hybrid primarily, but he’s definitely got some weird traces of other species. He’s got tusks, pink hair, pink pig ears, a pig tail, and hooves, but he’s also got paws from some other animal hybridisation in his blood, and has a tallness that suggests demon blood somewhere down the line. His red eyes aren’t natural, and only occurred after he was sacrificed to be the vessel of the Blood God.
Antfrost- A cat hybrid, with blond and brown fur, a cat tail, paws both on his hands and feet, and cat ears. He’s also got split pupils and blue sclerae (though a different shade to his irises).
Philza- An angel- the creation of a god or goddess to help serve them (Dreamon's would be an example of the angels the Dream's can create, though they’re primarily running wild nowadays.) The creation and servant of one of the gods of death, Kristen, to serve her in the mortal realm. He’s got very large feathered dark wings, pupilless unnaturally bright eyes, pointy ears, fangs, claws, and dark blood the colour of the night sky. His wings, eyes, freckles and blood glow brightly and are patterned like the night sky. Injuries reveal that he's fully inhuman under his skin, appearing to be a void of colour that also glows and is patterned like the night sky. His crows, who are messengers from the afterlife, have this same pattern on their feathers.
Conner- I don’t know much about him tbh but. He’s just a hedgehog hybrid. I mean he’s joked enough about canonically being the kid of Sonic and Elise. He’s got blue hedgehog ears and a tail, and blue spines mixed in with his dark hair.
Captain Puffy- A sheep hybrid, with small curled sheep horns, sheep ears, a fluffy sheep tail, hooves, and hair curly and soft like wool. The split in her hair between brown and white is natural, though she keeps a small section dyed rainbow.
Vikkstar- Another angel, though of a god long gone. His entire body, even his “clothes” (which are made of flesh) glow intensely bright and have the pattern of the night sky.
LazarBeam- A gingerbread hybrid, which I’d say is dumb but we’ve already had a refrigerator hybrid so. I don’t know what else to say here.
Ranboo- Half enderman, half god of some sort. Has small horns, pointy ears, an inhumanly wide mouth with fangs, claws, digitigrade feet ending in hoof-like claws, pure black and white skin, pure black and white hair and freckles on the opposite side of the skin, red and green heterochromatic eyes barely distinguishable from their sclera, and red and green blood. Hmm, I wonder what other character shares similar descriptions... :)
FoolishG- A more matured god than Dream. Appears to be made entirely out of gold, with his hair and freckles appearing like copper. His pure green eyes have a similar texture to emeralds. Also he’s like. Massive. He’s like eleven Skeppy's.
Hannah- A nymph of the forests. Has prehensile vines and flowers flowing in her hair all the way to the ground, and half of her face and one of her arms are entirely made of these prehensile vines and flowers. Makes flowers grow in her step, after being corrupted by the egg they wither around her instead.
Charlie- Slime hybrid. Honestly just kind of got the most impractical parts of being a hybrid, having random sections of skin changed into green slime which drips everywhere and kind of gets in the way. It doesn’t seem to bother him though.

New Car
New Car
Marinette couldn’t help grinning as her parents guided her outside. She could hear the excited chatter from her friends. She had a feeling that the thing her parents were guiding her too was a car, but she couldn’t be certain.
“Are you’re eyes closed?” Asked her father, making Marinette laugh.
“Papa, you’re literally covering my eyes.” Teased Marinette, provoking a laugh from her mother.
“Well, you remember that car you were so enamoured with?” Asked her mother, making Marinette frown.
“You mean the red one that was bought by someone else the day after I saw it?” Responded Marinette, it was a red, beat-up hatch-back that had seen better days, but Marinette had loved it. Ever since she passed her driving test, she’d looking at cars. Her parents had made it clear that they thought her motorcycle wasn’t safe enough for them. Said bike had been totalled after Kim took it for a joyride and was still being fixed.
“Well, we may have known more about it that you thought.” Said her father, removing his hands, allowing to Marinette to see in front of her.
A red, beat-up hatch-back that had clearly seen better days. It was the car Marinette had fallen in love with after seeing it, only it had been cleaned, fixed up and given a fresh coat of paint. Marinette numbly approached the car looked inside it. The interior was the same, dark grey seats, with a matching carpet, the dashboard was the same colour. Marinette suddenly grinned, before sprinting to her parents and hugging them.
“Thank you.” Said Marinette, her voice muffled by her father’s shirt, before she took the key he held out for her.
“It looks tacky.” Came Chloe’s voice, scrolling on her phone.
“Chloe, not everyone can afford the latest Lamborghini or Ferrari.” Said Adrien, looking in the car, before gasping, “There are cup holders!”
Everyone looked at Adrien.
“I’m guessing that fancy sports car your dad got you doesn’t have them.” Said Nino, frowning at Adrien.
“It did, but then he had them removed because he ‘didn’t want me making a mess of myself or the car’.” Said Adrien, looking at the back seats, “There are only two doors.”
Marinette gently pushed Adrien to the side and unlocked the door, swinging it open, she leaned over the seat and pulled it forwards, allowing access for someone to sit in the back seat.
“Oooh.” Said Adrien, leaning forwards.
“Yeah, ooh.” Said Alya, leaning against the bonnet, “I call first ride.”
Adrien, Nino and Kim protested, but Alya just smirked and sat in the passenger seat, waiting for Marinette to get in and start driving.
“Sorry.” Said Marinette, before getting in the car and driving off.
“Did my girlfriend just steal your girlfriend?” Asked Nino, making Adrien shrug.
NC
Marinette returned an hour later, grinning, with Alya laughing about something. The rest of the day passed without incident, except when Marinette’s car alarm went off, because a dog had taken a leak against it.
Marinette was curled up in her bed when she heard what sounded like a car driving off, with a groan, she pulled a pillow over her head and went back to sleep.
The next morning, when Marinette went downstairs, she found a police officer sitting in the living room. Her parents looked nervous, while the officer just looked tired.
“Good morning?” Said Marinette, looking around.
“Ms. Dupain-Cheng?” Asked the Officer, getting a nod from Marinette, “I’m afraid we picked up a car thief last night, we found him driving a red Honda Civic, we pursued him on foot, but when we went back for the car, we found he’d placed an incendiary device in the vehicle.”
Marinette’s face fell, already dreading what the officer was going to say.
“The car was deemed unsalvageable, but” Said the Officer, making Marinette look up, “we managed to clear it with our superiors, and we’ll be sending one of the cars confiscated from the thief’s parking lot.”
Marinette numbly nodded, before heading back to her room. She’d sent a text, telling Alya about the incident and, after getting dressed, decided to design some clothes until she felt better. Alya and some of Marinette’s other classmates turned up, offering condolences over Marinette’s, now destroyed, car.
Around three in the afternoon, Marinette heard a truck stop outside the bakery. Kim looked out the window and did a double take.
“No way!” Gasped Kim, getting Marinette and some of the other to go over to him, “Marinette, they brought a Dodge.”
Marinette looked out the window and nearly choked on her drink, as the tow truck unhooked a red Dodge Challenger with a pair of, what Marinette assumed were, buffalo horn on the end of the bonnet. Marinette rushed downstairs, skidding to a stop when she reached the ground floor.
“Normally, we wouldn’t give her a muscle car, but it was the only one that was, 1. Fit to be on the road and, 2. Didn’t have anything wrong with it.”
Her mother turned around and spotted her standing at the bottom of the stairs, “Marinette, we were just about to call you.”
Marinette went to the window and looked at the car, “Is that it?”
“Yeah, it’s the only one we can’t find a problem with.” Said the Officer, holding the key out for Marinette to take.
Numbly, Marinette took the key and the officer left. Marinette exited the bakery and looked at the car, there were a few dents in it, but other than that, it looked to be in working order. Grinning, Marinette got in the car and started up the engine, quickly putting on her seat belt, Marinette drove off.
NC
Chloe let out an inhuman screech at the sight of Marinette’s new car, “Where’d you get that?”
“My car got stolen and wrecked, this was the only one that didn’t have a problem with it.” Shrugged Marinette, locking her car up.
Adrien grinned at the car, as Chloe stormed off in a huff, “Okay, I’ll admit it, your car is cooler than mine.”
Marinette looked at the dark grey Lamborghini that Adrien’s father bought after he passed his driving test. For some reason, Marinette felt something was off about the car.
“How long be-” Adrien was cut off by screaming.
“How does he work so fast?” Asked Marinette, as she and Adrien ran off to find a place to transform.
Within minutes, Ladybug and Chat Noir had subdued the Akuma, Chloe, and had purified the Akuma. Ladybug cast Miraculous Ladybug, as the ladybugs flew across the city, a red muscle car suddenly was brought back online.
The car silently observed his surroundings, before a young woman with pigtails approached him, “That’s got to be a new record.”
“What, five minutes?” Asked a blond-haired man, “I’m pretty sure Mr. Pigeon was under a minute.”
“I still can’t believe she got akumatized over a car.” Said the woman, unlocking the cars door.
“Marinette,” Said the blond-haired man, “You know Chloe, she’ll get akumatized over anything.”
Marinette sighed, and slumped against the car, “Still, Adrien, it’s starting to get old, either she should be sectioned or go to counselling.”
“Knowing Chloe,” Said Adrien, as Marinette got into the car, “She’ll probably get them to say she’s in perfect health.”
Marinette snorted, as she closed the car door.
NC
A giant, white and orange robot grumbled at a monitor screen.
“What is it, Ratchet?” Asked a bigger red and blue robot, his voice a deep baritone.
“Optimus, Cliffjumpers’ signal has just come back online,” Said Ratchet, glaring at the screen, “Again.”
“Once due to the presence of Dark Energon.” Said Optimus narrowing his optics at the screen.
“Yes, but unlike last time,” Said Ratchet, staring at the screen, “it’s not corrupted, if anything, it’s in perfect condition.”
“Where is it located?” Asked Optimus, looking down at Ratchet.
“Paris, France.” Said Ratchet, looking at the screen, “Didn’t Agent Fowler say something about ‘superheroes’ there?”
Optimus was silent, just before he heard multiple engines rolling into the base. A blue motorcycle, yellow muscle car and a green 4x4 drove into the main area of the base. With them were three humans, at the other entrance to the main area, two more robots, one white and blue, the other white, green and red walked in.
“’Jackie!” Yelled a giant green robot, after transforming from the 4x4. The yellow muscle car and the motorcycle following suit, turning into a yellow robot and a blue and silver female robot, respectively.
“Hey, Bulk.” Greeted the red, white and green robot, before turning his attention to Ratchet, “The Doc just said something about a ‘bots signal coming back online.”
“Cliffjumpers’ signal has come back online, again.” Huffed Ratchet, checking the programs software, “However, unlike last time, it’s in peak condition.”
“Think it might be a ‘con trick?” Asked the female robot, placing a hand on her hip.
“I doubt it, Arcee,” Said Ratchet, as the three human’s stood close to his work station, “Since we last saw Cliffjumpers’ remains being welded back together by MECH, it is possible they may have done what, frankly, seems impossible.”
“We saw them using energon to power his t-cog,” Said a short boy, with wild brown hair and glasses, “they could’ve transformed him.”
“And when they couldn’t control him,” Said a tall, young man with black hair and blue/silver eyes, “They just pawned his vehicle mode off to a collector.”
“Where’s the signal coming from?” Asked Arcee, her optics narrowing.
“Paris, France.” Said Ratchet, making all the human go still.
“Wait,” Said a young woman, with gold/amber eyes and pigtails and a braid, “you mean one of the cities with actual superheroes?”
The two males just stared at Ratchet in surprise.
“Yes, Miko,” Sighed Ratchet, focussing on the screen, “one of the cities with actual ‘superheroes’.”
“Doesn’t Ladybug have a sort-of healing power?” Asked the tall male, getting surprised looks from the bots.
“What was that Jack?” Asked Arcee, looking at her charge.
“Yeah, Ladybug can literally fix a destroyed city!” Exclaimed Miko, slinging an arm around Jack’s shoulders, “There’s a video of her fixing Paris after it was entirely flattened during an Akuma attack!”
The Autobots all stared at them.
“Rafael, translation if you please.” Said Ratchet, after a couple of moments.
“There’s someone in Paris that can turn people into monsters, by using their victims emotions.” Said the short boy, Raf, “The first akuma was called Stoneheart and the heroes were thirteen when Hawkmoth first appeared.”
There was the tell-tale sign of the Autobot’s optics flickering that showed they were using the internet. Arcee frowned and looked impressed.
“Yeah, each time they meet Hawkmoth in person,” Said Miko, getting the bots attention, “they keep gaining ground on him and he always runs off.”
“Then why haven’t they beaten him yet?” Asked Bulkhead, getting a sigh from Miko.
“A few years back they had a team,” Said Miko, looking down, “a pretty big team, until they were betrayed by one of the team members that had outed their identity to the public.”
“After that, the Akumas got worse and, eventually,” Said Jack, shrugging, “Ladybug and her partner build a new team, hand picking the individuals, and if anyone of them pulled the same stunt as Bourgeois, instant memory wipe.”
“Which made taking tests a whole lot harder.” Joked Miko, getting a snort from Jack.
“So, this Ladybug can literally fix anything?” Asked Ratchet, getting the humans’ attention.
“Yeah, as long as she knows enough about it and how much need to be fixed.” Said Jack, as Ratchet had a thoughtful look on his face.
“No.” Said Optimus, before Ratchet could even voice his opinion, “I’ve seen the footage of her restoring the city, if she were to do the same with Cybertron, she would most certainly perish.”
Ratchet’s shoulders slumped.
“School has a trip to Paris planned next month,” Said Jack, making the bots look at him, “We all signed up for it, if Cliffjumpers’ signal is still there by then, we can all check it out.”
Optimus frowned, before nodding.
NC
Miko and Jack shared a suffering look, the tour of the Agreste fashion company was duller than when the principle giving a speech. The woman showing them around had the same attitude as she was barely pointing things out as they passed them.
“And if you look to your left, you’ll see all the models posing naked to emulate ancient Greece.” Said the woman, Marinette.
Jack and Miko didn’t both looking, but the groan from Vince told them it wasn’t what Marinette said it was.
“If any of you looked, you would now know that it just the fabric dying department.” Said Marinette, looking back at them, “It also tells me which ones of you should be observed.”
There was a louder groan from everyone else.
“Now, here’s the fun areas of the business,” Said Marinette, as the tour group walked into a large open room, “This is where we model clothes, cars and any other random crap that can be modelled.”
A blond-haired man, reclining on the bonnet of a sports car immediately perked up, “Marinette!”
In a matter of seconds, the man had picked Marinette up, kissed her, spun her around and stared at her as if she was the only thing in the universe.
“Adrien, working.” Said Marinette, getting the man to put her down.
“That’s the Tsurugi LX-10 Model.” Said Jack, getting everyone to look at him.
“You’re familiar?” Asked Adrien, looking at Jack.
“I know that they’re illegal in the States because of the number of times previous models had to be recalled.” Said Jack, before scowling, “Not to mention the number of people that died after their cars crushed them against a wall.”
“Well, this model doesn’t have the self-driving gimmick,” Said Adrien, frowning at the car, “but it does have a feature called incognito mode.”
“Which is?” Asked Marinette, as the car turned from silver to black.
“That.” Said Adrien, folding his arms, “Madam Tsurugi had it designed for the police, but then she put it on the common market and now, they’re facing a metric fuck ton of lawsuits.”
“Then why are you modelling it?” Asked Miko, making Adrien smirk.
“I wasn’t,” Said Adrien, folding his arms, “I was taking a nap.”
A screwed-up ball of paper hit the back of Adrien’s head.
“Work now, flirt with your girlfriend later.” Yelled a photographer, while a red-haired, dark skinned journalist laughed.
Adrien grinned, before charging at them, soon all three were on the floor with Adrien squeezing them.
“Ms. Dupain-Cheng, what’s going on?” Asked a cold voice.
“Alya’s here for the interview, Adrien was catching up on his sleep and I’m showing the tour group around.” Said Marinette, turning to face a tall, white haired man.
The man looked at the car and then to Adrien greeting the journalist and her camera man.
“And, no, nothing out of the ordinary happened.” Said Marinette, as the man frowned.
“I believe I told Rossi to show them around.” Said the man, looking at Marinette.
“She didn’t show this morning.” Said Marinette, pulling out her phone, “She didn’t respond to any of the messages I sent her, either.”
“This is the fifth day running?” Asked the man, making Marinette nod, “Notify the Police, she might’ve had another accident, seeing how she became prone to them after the incident.”
Marinette nodded and put her phone away, “I contacted the police after I was told she didn’t turn up, I also called Tsurugi Motors, told them the car wouldn’t start and I’ve heard nothing since.”
“What wrong with it?” Asked Jack, getting a look from Marinette and, presumably, her boss.
“It won’t start.” Said Marinette, as she walked over to the car.
“Does it make any strange noises when you try to start it?” Asked Jack, following her.
“It clicks.” Said Marinette, before Jack frowned.
“Vince, come here.” Said Jack, leaning inside the car and pulling the latch from the bonnet.
Vince came without question, lifting it up and looking inside.
“Found the problem.” Said Vince, as Jack joined him, “There’s no engine.”
Everyone looked inside the car and saw an empty compartment. Jack then went to the back of the car, checking the rear end for an engine, “It’s back here.”
“It looks like it’s been scooped out and dumped back here.” Said Vince, as Jack rolled up his sleeves.
“Help me lift this out,” Said Jack, as Vince took the side opposite to Jack, “on three. One. Two. Three.”
Carefully and with great effort, Jack and Vince lifted the Engine out and placed it on the floor. As they were straightening up, both froze at the sight of a small, blinking device.
“We should leave.” Said Jack, his tone leaving no room for argument, “Now.”
Marinette and her boss joined them and saw the bomb.
“Sound the alarm.” Said the boss, while Marinette went over to the PA system, saying something about a ‘code silver’.
Half-an-hour later, the tour group and the employees were standing on the other side of the park away from the building.
“Maybe it’s defective.” Said Raf, just as the building shook and collapsed knocking everyone to the ground and producing a massive dust cloud, “Or not.”
“It was delayed by 30 minutes.” coughed Jack, standing up and looking at where the building had been, “If we hadn’t spotted it, then we would’ve been near the top floors.”
Everyone sat on the sidewalk as Ambulances arrived, the ones closest to the explosion were being treated, while masks to deal with the dust and other debris were passed around.
“Still like explosions Miko?” Asked Jack, as Miko was having a cut on her head examined.
The Japanese girl groaned in response to Jack’s question. Jack felt a twinge of sympathy for her, before he saw Marinette approaching a red car with bull horns on the hood. Jack watched as she sat in the drivers’ seat, before resting her head against the steering wheel.
“That, is a nice car.” Said Vince, staring at the car.
“It looks like a Dodge Challenger.” Said One of Vince’s friends.
Marinette suddenly turned her head towards the teens, before getting out of the car and walking towards them.
“I should’ve checked earlier, but are any of you hurt?” Asked Marinette, just as a silver Aston Martin pulled up.
“Miko hit her head when we all fell.” Said Jack, as a young Japanese woman got out of the Aston Martin and rushed towards them.
“Marinette,” Yelled the woman, as she came close to them, “I heard there’d been an explosion.”
“Someone placed a bomb in the back of one of your mothers’ cars.” Said Marinette, turning to face the woman, “It was actually one of the visiting students who discovered it.”
Marinette paused, before looking at Jack, “Speaking of, how did you know what a bomb looks like?”
Jack suddenly felt uncomfortable, “Movies.”
Marinette frowned, but didn’t say anything, “Apparently, the only one hurt was Miko.” Marinette pointed towards the Japanese teen, who still had a paramedic looking at her head wound.
The woman looked at Miko, before turning back to face Marinette, “The Police will probably be along shortly, I’ll see you later.”
Marinette nodded, before turning back to the students, “So, how’re you finding Paris?”
NC
After everyone had been collected and taken back to the hotel and the employee sent home, Marinette opened the door to her shared apartment, she could hear Kagami and Adrien talking in the kitchen.
“I can hardly smell the pesticides.” Said Marinette, in lieu of announcing her presence.
“Yeah, and the rats are gone as well.” Said Adrien, poking his head out, “How’d everything go?”
“If you mean by everything, having to deal with insulting phone calls from the Tsurugi’s, as well as having to deal with the Police,” Said Marinette, slipping her shoes off, “it went great.”
“What’s my mother threatened to do now?” Asked Kagami, seasoning the food.
“She didn’t threaten to do anything,” Replied Marinette, dropping onto the sofa, “She just used the entire call to hurl insults at me.”
Kagami blew air through her teeth.
“Yeah, my thoughts exactly.” Said Marinette, before the sound of glass shattering made her look towards the window. She approached the window and looked outside, just in time to see Adrien’s Lamborghini race down the street.
“Adrien, your car’s jut been stolen.” Said Marinette, looking out the window.
“I’ve been thinking of getting a new car anyway.” Said Adrien, as he finished setting the table.
As if on cue, a motorcycle, 4x4 and two sports cars peeled down the street.
“Fucking kids.” Said Marinette, closing the curtains.
NC
Arcee drew close of Lockdown, half-transforming so she could shoot at him without falling behind, Bumblebee and Smokescreen started to head the bounty hunter off, before he transformed and dove through a billboard. The Autobots all came to a stop, Arcee scowling at the hole left behind by Lockdown.
Arcee collapsed back into her vehicle mode and started to head back to where they found Lockdown. A red Dodge Challenger with bull horns sat waiting for them, Arcee considered kicking Cliffjumper, just to get a reaction from him.
Cliffjumper prevented her from following through, transforming and stretching his arms out, “You’ll not believe the month I’ve had.”
Arcee transformed and glared at him.
“I suddenly feel like I’ve got a few seconds to live.” Said Cliffjumper, before Arcee tackled him.
Arcee kept hitting him, until a torch shone on them, making the Femme turn in the direction of the light.
Cliffjumper froze at the sight of Marinette, behind her were her sparkmates, at least he thought they were her sparkmates, all three just staring at the sight in front of him.
“Akuma?” Asked Adrien, cocking his head.
“Nope, they haven’t started yelling yet.” Said Marinette, approaching them, “Where the fuck has my car gone?”
Cliffjumper pushed Arcee off him, before collapsing into the familiar, red Dodge Challenger with bullhorns on the end of the hood, that Marinette had been driving for the past month.
Marinette just let out a long-suffering sigh, “Just my fucking luck.”
NC
Ratchet watched as the Autobots all drove into base via the ground bridge. Optimus frowned at the sight of Cliffjumper, then at the sight of three humans climbing out of him. The red Autobot transformed and looked up at Optimus.
“There’s a really funny story here.” Said Cliffjumper, before a purse hit his side.
Cliffjumper looked down at Marinette, before wincing and looking back at Optimus. Optimus nodded and Cliffjumper crouched down and looked in Marinette’s eye.
“Hey, kid.” Said Cliffjumper, as Marinette glared at him, “You’re probably wanting an explanation.”
“Probably?” Groused Marinette, her glare intensifying, “I just found out my car, which I got after someone stole and torched my actual car, is some giant robot, gundam thing.”
Adrien brightened up.
“Actually, I’m not a gundamn thing,” Said Cliffjumper, making Marinette frown, “I’m an Autobot, my name is Cliffjumper.”
“An Auto-what-now?” Asked Marinette, as the horned bot sighed.
“If I may,” Said Optimus, making Marinette look up at him, “I believe proper introductions are in order. My name is Optimus Prime, we are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the Planet Cybertron.”
“Ah, aliens.” Said Marinette, folding her arms and frowning.
“This,” Said Optimus, gesturing to Ratchet, “is our medical Officer, Ratchet,” he then gestured to the four Autobots behind Cliffjumper, “You have already met Arcee, Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Smokescreen.”
Marinette looked at the four of them, before her eyes widened, “Hold on, weren’t you the jokers that followed the guy that stole Adrien’s car?”
“Actually,” Said Arcee, folding her arms, “that was another one of our kind, his name’s Lockdown.”
“Lockdown?!” Gasped Ratchet, getting looks from the rest of the team, “Here?!”
“Adrien’s car, was a robot?” Asked Marinette, folding her arms and cocking an eyebrow.
“And not a good one.” Said Arcee, before spotting Tikki poking her head out of Marinette’s pocket, “What’s that?”
Marinette withdrew Tikki from her pocket, making Optimus frown.
“Honoured, Creator.” Greeted Optimus, making Marinette look down at the Kwami.
“‘Honoured Creator’?” Asked Marinette, getting a sheepish look from Tikki.
NC
Marinette scowled at Cliffjumper’s dashboard, as the Autobot played around with his radio. Marinette had taken the whole reveal of an alien race hiding on Earth, what she didn’t take well was Cliffjumper outing her and Adrien’s identities to the other Autobots, namely after Tikki had been spotted.
“Can you please stop that?” Asked Marinette, as Cliffjumper jumped from a station playing classic rock to one playing Bulgarian shriek metal.
“Sorry.” Apologised Cliffjumper, as Marinette got out.
“Don’t drive off anywhere, I won’t be able to explain to anyone why my car is out driving itself.” Said Marinette, before closing the door.
Adrien looked at Marinette, before going back to watching the Agreste legal team and Tsurugi legal team yelling at each other.
“Father’s trying to pin the bomb on the Tsurugi’s.” Said Adrien, just as one legal aid picked up a chair and threw it, “I don’t know why people watch wrestling, we’re seeing the same thing, but we didn’t pay for anything.”
“How’d your dad take your car being ‘stolen’?” Asked Marinette, making Adrien wince.
“He thinks Madam Tsurugi’s behind it.” Replied Adrien, “Kagami’s consented for her car to be searched, in case there’s anything that’s been placed in it.”
“You know, I actually thought the person who’d have the problem with our relationship would be your father.” Said Marinette, folding her arms.
“He did, until I said that your skill, and potential, would be under the Agreste name.” Said Adrien, shrugging, “He became silent after that.”
“I’m sure it had nothing to do with Nathalie falling pregnant.” Said Marinette, making Adrien snort.
There was the sound of glass breaking, as one of the legal aids was sent through the window. Marinette didn’t even blink as she pulled out her phone and called the police, while Adrien looked at his phone, grinning when he saw it was still recording.
Down in the car park, Cliffjumper watched as a silver Aston Martin pulled up and Kagami step out. Giving Cliffjumper a subtle wave, Kagami headed straight for the elevator, leaving the Autobot with the car. There was the sound of grinding metal as Cliffjumper transformed and crouched down next to the car.
“What are you?” Whispered Cliffjumper, changing the angle for which he looked at the car.
Cliffjumper froze, there was an insignia that was hidden in the front wheel arch. The winged Autobot symbol of the Elite Guard.
“Optimus.” Said Cliffjumper, contacting the Autobot Base.
“Optimus is otherwise occupied, Cliffjumper, what do you need?” Came Ratchet’s voice.
“There’s a car here with Elite Guard Markings, are you picking anything up on your scanners?” Relayed Cliffjumper, waiting for Ratchet to respond.
“I’m not detecting any- wait, I’ve just focused on your immediate area, there’s one Autobot signal in the vicinity, there’s no name associated to it, but it’s definitely there.” Said Ratchet, just as Cliffjumper heard the lift ring. The red Autobot collapsed into his Dodge Challenger alt, waiting for the person to leave.
A brunette with hair tails that resembled sausages stood in front of Cliffjumper.
“So,” Said the girl, her voice oily and demanding, “You’re the pile of crap that Dupain-Cheng got.”
Cliffjumper decided he didn’t like this girl, she reminded him too much of Starscream. The girl rummaged around her bag, before pulling out a can of spray paint.
“Let’s see how she likes this.” Smirked the girl, shaking the can.
Cliffjumper immediately honked his horn and set off his alarm, before revving his engine and advancing towards the girl. She dropped the can and fell backward before scrambling away from the vehicle.
A security guard appeared from around the corner and spotted the red Dodge Challenger blaring it’s alarm, with one of Gabriel Agreste’s models, Lila something, screaming at it.
“What the hell is going on?” Demanded the security guard, before asking Ms. Dupain-Cheng down to silence her car.
“I-I was walking past it and it started driving at me!” Cried Lila, as the guard frowned.
Marinette arrived and silenced the car.
“Your car isn’t one of those self-driving types, is it?” Asked the guard, getting a confused look from Marinette.
“Are you kidding?” Asked Marinette, frowning, “I got this after my last car was totalled after some meth head stole it.”
“Ms. Rossi says it drove at her.” Said the Guard, as Marinette took a step forwards and slipped on something.
“What the hell?” Said Marinette, picking up a can of black spray paint, “I don’t suppose you were going to be painting anything, Lila?”
Lila stuttered out some excuse, while Marinette gave the can to the guard and went back up to the design office.
“What happened?” Asked Adrien, his glasses rest on his head.
“Lila was scared by Cliff.” Said Marinette, frowning at one of the designs.
Adrien nodded, before looking back at the computer, “What was I thinking when I asked my father to teach me how to run a business?”
NC
Marinette and Adrien climbed out of Cliffjumper, while Kagami drove her car after them. Ratchet shooed them towards the seating area, all three spotting three of the children that were on the field trip.
“You know, I’m not even surprised.” Said Marinette, dropping into one of the chairs.
Miko rushed towards Ratchet and Cliffjumper, her eyes zeroing on Cliffjumper.
“Who are you?” Asked Miko, as Wheeljack and Smokescreen entered the main area.
“Name’s Cliffjumper, I heard a lot about you and your friends from the others.” Said Cliffjumper, just as Ratchet jumped backwards when the Autobot transformed. Everyone froze when his head rolled off.
“Oh no.” Said Raf, approaching from behind Miko.
“Oh no what?” Asked Cliffjumper, picking up the Autobot’s head.
“He’s dead, isn’t he?” Asked Jack, looking at the Autobots.
“Nah, this is Cogman,” Said Cliffjumper, gesturing to the Autobot, “He’s a Headmaster, meaning his he can detach and transform into a smaller bot.”
Cliffjumper held the head in place, as Ratchet started to insert energon into Cogman’s body. There was silence, then Cogman lurched and grabbed Ratchet and Cliffjumper and threw them into Bulkhead.
There was a grinding sound and Cogman dragged a broadsword from his back, stumbling around the base.
“Wha, when, where am I?” Demanded Cogman, his optics flickering.
“You’re in our base, Cogman.” Said Optimus, advancing towards the clearly wounded Headmaster, “My name is Optimus Prime.”
“Optimus, leader, commander,” Muttered Cogman, looking around, “I, damaged, Lockdown, Lord Bur-, Hot Rod.”
With those final words, Cogman lost consciousness and collapsed, his head rolling off once more.
The Autobots and humans all stared at the fallen Transformer.
“I’ll prepare an energon feed.” Said Ratchet, just as the proximity alarm went off.
“Really? Now?” Grumbled Ratchet, as the elevator opened.
“Prime, what’s this I hear about your ‘bots tearing up Paris?” Demanded Fowler, before catching sight of Marinette, Adrien and Kagami, “Again?!”
Marinette stared at the man, before Cliffjumper coughed.
“You!” Yelled Fowler, “I thought you were dead!”
“It’s a long story.” Said Cliffjumper, as Bumblebee and Bulkhead helped move Cogman.
NC
Lockdown was seething, he’d spent months hunting down Cogman, finding him in Stasis Lock in the possession of some human insect, then a dead Autobot showed up, followed by Team Prime. Lockdown had made the deal with the human, Agreste, in the hopes of rounding up the rest of the Knights, hiding as Agreste’s son’s car, dealing with the humiliation of that boy driving him, spilling liquids inside him. Megatron had instructed him to find something called a Miraculous, and after seeing what it could do first hand, he could see why. If such small objects could fix a destroyed city, restore hundreds, if not thousands, of lives and bring back a dead Autobot, what could they do to Cybertron?
Lockdown transformed and stalked towards Agreste’s window, breaking it and waking the human up.
“Your child has friends,” Snarled Lockdown, glaring at the human, “of the Autobot variety.”
NC
Hot Rod aimlessly drove around the dark streets of Paris, Sir Edmund Burton had instructed him to come to the city before he was killed by Lockdown. Hot Rod hadn’t seen Cogman since that day, but maintained radio silence until he reappeared on his scanners.
A swirling green vortex opened up in front of him, making the disguised Autobot skid to a halt. He recognised the sight of a space bridge, despite the power levels being significantly lower that what was required for interstellar travel.
A tall, red and blue figure walked out of the bridge. Hot Rod transformed and stared up at Optimus.
“Prime?” Asked Hot Rod, not believing his optics.
“Hello, Hot Rod.” Said Optimus, turning back, gesturing the bot to follow.
“H-how long have you been on the planet?” Asked Hot Rod, as he followed Optimus through the bridge.
The ground bridge closed behind him, leaving a seething Lockdown hidden in the shadows, Gabriel Agreste secured tightly in his seat.
NC
Fowler watched as the French Autobot spoke with Bumblebee and Arcee, while the British one was being checked over by Ratchet. Fowler’s phone went off, making the agent turn away from the Bots.
“Fowler here.” Said Fowler, frowning.
“Bill,” Said General Bryce, his tone grave, “I suggest you look at the French News.”
Fowler frowned, “Why?”
“You’ll understand when you see it.” Said Bryce, before hanging up.
Fowler walked over to the TV, unplugged the game the kids were playing, getting a protest from Miko, and turned it over to the French news channel.
And would’ve spat out his coffee if he’d remember to pick it up.
“Prime, you’re going to want to see this.” Called Fowler, getting the Autobot leaders’ attention.
Optimus made his way over, his optics barely concealing the shock he felt. Megatron and the Decepticons were attacking Paris. Optimus didn’t bother to translate what the newscaster was saying, only frowned and turned to Ratchet.
“Ratchet, activate the ground bridge.” Commanded Optimus, before looking at his team, “Autobots, prepare to roll out.”
“Wait, wait, wait,” Said Jack, looking at the Autobot’s Leader, “What happened to Robots in Disguise?”
“Take a look, Jack,” Said Arcee, gesturing to the screen, “Megatron’s just blown that cover away for us.”
“No, what I mean is, what is Megatron hoping to gain?” Reiterated Jack, looking around the team.
“There’s nothing in Paris that would interest them.” Said Fowler, looking at the Autobots, before Marinette fiddled with her earrings.
“How much do you think Lockdown learned before his cover was blown?” Asked Marinette, looking at the floor.
The Autobots froze, “He’s after the jewels.” Said Optimus, frowning.
“What those magical pieces of Jewellery?” Asked Fowler, before scowling, “I can have what heroes we have to locate them, and their owners or wielder or whatever.”
“That will not be necessary, Agent Fowler.” Said Optimus, looking at the agent, “They are already safe.”
“How can you be sure?” Demanded Fowler, as Marinette removed something from her pocket.
“Because they’re already here.” Said Marinette, removing the earrings, making them return to their usual red and black spotted appearance.
Fowler froze, as Optimus and the Autobots prepared to depart.
“If Megatron knows what they can do, he no doubts plans on using them to restore Cybertron.” Said Optimus, getting a snort from Ratchet.
“And, no doubt, ridding himself of his Dark Energon poisoning.” Snarked Ratchet, before revealing a scan of Megatron, “I took this scan back when we were dealing with Unicron, Megatron had at most, three Earth decades left before he becomes one of those mindless beasts he loves controlling.”
Optimus stared at the scan, “Ratchet, if we were to wound him enough, would Megatron become a ‘mindless beast’?”
“It’d have to be extensive, like,” Said Ratchet, frowning, “the spark extractor or beating him into a pile scrap with the Forge of Solus Prime.”
“What about Plagg?” Asked Adrien, as the small, black Kwami snored in his hand.
The Autobots stared at the embodiment of destruction, as he burped and grumbled about needing cheese.
“To get either of you close enough, would be too much of a risk.” Said Optimus, as Tikki hummed.
“I could make them Cybertronian.” Said Tikki, making everyone freeze.
“You can do that?” Asked Marinette, cocking her head slightly.
“If I really wanted to, Marinette, I could turn you into a squirrel.” Said Tikki, frowning, “However, the change would be permanent.”
Everyone was quiet, before Miko giggled, “I’ll do it!”
“No.” Was the unanimous response.
“The city’s burning, Prime,” Said Fowler, leaning against the railing, “The casualty list is already in the thousands.”
The base was silent, until Marinette noticed how tense Jack was.
“You okay?” Asked Marinette, touching Jack’s shoulder.
“My mom’s attending a medical conference there.” Was Jack’s short answer.
“Jack, she could be hidden somewhere, somewhere safe.” Said Miko, a small frown gracing her lips.
Marinette gave Miko a sideways look, before smirking. She’d noticed the concern the Jack had for Miko had gone deeper than simple friendship, or even family, she just didn’t notice that it went both ways.
“Paris is my home, if you’re going there, I’m coming with.” Said Marinette, looking up at Optimus.
Optimus frowned, before Adrien and Kagami joined Marinette and looked up at Optimus, their decision made.
“Ratchet, activate the ground bridge.” Said Optimus, silently allowing the human to accompany them.
Jack watched the Autobots leave with Marinette, Adrien and Kagami, before scowling and making a break for the ground bridge, Miko and Raf quickly following after him.
He had to find his mom, she was the only family he had left, he didn’t care that he was running into hell.
NC
Marinette stared at the charred remains on the park and, subsequently, her parent’s bakery. The Eiffel Tower was on its side, one of its leg torn off, Decepticons were tearing the city apart.
“It’s here,” Came a gravelly, growling voice, “I know it.”
The group all froze when Jack shot past them, disappearing into the smoke.
“Jack!” Yelled Miko, before she too disappeared.
Raf was a couple feet behind the girl, before he tripped and fell over. The distant screams of the civilians filling the air, Optimus closed his optics and sighed. He believed at least half of the city’s population had been caught up in the crossfire.
“Autobots, evacuate the civilians.” Commanded Optimus, his battle mask sliding into place, “You three, I suggest you find whatever you need and guide them to the ground bridge, Bulkhead, Wheeljack and Smokescreen, remain with me to guard the bridge.”
Arcee, Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Cliffjumper and Cogman, ran out into the city, carefully instructing anyone they met towards the ground bridge, killing any Decepticons stupid enough to charge at them. Arcee kept her optics open for Jack and Miko, before spotting the two, Jack slumped over something in front of the remains the hotel. Arcee’s spark froze, realising what Jack was leaning over.
Miko was holding onto Jack as he cradled what remained of his mother, her lower half had been vapourised, her eyes were glassy and unseeing. Tears were falling onto her face and Jack sobbed.
“Jack.” Said Arcee, kneeling down next to him and Miko, before she caught sight of June.
“She was all I had left.” Gasped Jack, looking down at his mother.
“I’m sorry, Jack,” Said Arcee, hanging her head, “but we need to go.”
Jack swallowed and closed his mother’s eyes. Jack got to his feet, before the rubble in front of him and Miko exploded, sending shards of rock and metal through the two humans.
“NO!” Screamed Arcee, as she saw blood appearing on the two.
NC
Optimus and his portion of the team were fighting of the Decepticons as Bumblebee ushered the humans through the ground bridge, some were reluctant, while other jumped at the opportunity.
“Optimus, I’ve found Jack and Miko.” Came Arcee from over the comm.
“Excellent work, Arcee, bring them back to our position and send them through the ground bridge.” Commended Optimus, shooting the head of a Vehicion and lobbing a sizeable statue at Dreadwing, knocking the seeker down.
“Optimus, they’re hurt, I, I think they’re going to die.” Said Arcee, making Optimus pause.
“Locate Marinette and Tikki,” Said Optimus, unsheathing his sword and gutting a decepticon, “if what the Creator said is true, she may be our only hope to save Jack and Miko.”
“Change their species?! Optimus, don’t you remember what she also said? That the change would be permanent?” Demanded Arcee, as Bulkhead threw Knockout to Wheeljack, who punched the Decepticon medic.
“I am aware, Arcee,” Said Optimus, knocking an Insecticon’s head off, “but we are past the point of debate, our base doesn’t have required facilities to aid them in their recovery.”
“But if they were Cybertronian, Ratchet could patch them up no problem.” Realised Arcee, went silent.
NC
Arcee skidded to a halt in front of Marinette and Tikki. The two gaped at the sight of Jack and Miko’s bloodied bodies.
“Optimus said you could save them.” Said Arcee, holding the two humans out.
“I said I could change them and that the change would be permanent.” Stressed Tikki, looking at the two.
“Optimus said that if you changed them, Ratchet could patch them back up.” Said Arcee, as Tikki frowned.
“Okay, but you’re going to need help carrying them.” Said Tikki, as the spots on her body glowed and her eyes went white.
A flash of light later, a male, silver, black and blue coloured mech lied on the ground, another flash had a pink and black with gold detailing femme lying next to the Mech.
“I can move Miko, no problem,” Said Arcee, before activating her comm, “Bumblebee, I need your help with something.”
NC
Ratchet watched as Agent Fowler did his best to calm the humans down, he was monitoring the Autobot life signals, when two suddenly came online. A few minutes later, Arcee and Bumblebee entered the base with the two unidentified Cybertronians.
“Ratchet, these two need patching up.” Said Arcee, as she clumsily sat the Femme down.
“I’m not even going to ask where you found a Triple-Changer.” Said Ratchet, as he set to work, “Bumblebee, monitor the team while I work.”
Bumblebee nodded and took position at the monitor screen. The wounds had pierced multiple important areas, but it wasn’t anything couldn’t fix. The triple changer, roughly the size of Optimus muttered something.
“Mom…” Said the Triple-Changer, with Jack’s voice.
NC
“I’m not picking up any human life signs, Optimus.” Said Smokescreen, as Marinette, Adrien and Kagami re-joined them.
“Tikki’s not picking up anything either.” Said Marinette, as Optimus nodded.
“Autobots, fall back!” Commanded Optimus, as he, the Autobots and humans retreated, leaving a city empty of living humans and full of Decepticons.
NC
Marinette looked through the crowd, her classmates were safe, Alya had grilled her about the Autobots, she’d met Nadja and Manon, bumped into Nathalie and Lianne and various other citizens of Paris that had to be evacuated. Marinette stopped when she saw her parents, handing out food they’d managed to save from the bakery.
General Bryce and Optimus were having a meeting with government officials and high rank armed forces officer. All of them looked confused, especially when Optimus had relayed, he’d chosen to save the surviving citizens, over destroying Megatron.
Chloe was the only survivor from her family, having been with Sabrina for the night. The same story was with Alix, but she’d been with Kim and Max. Adrien’s father and Lila were nowhere to be found, with them officially being declared dead.
Jack and Miko had been taken somewhere private, giving them both time to readjust to their new bodies.
A Decepticon scout that had been captured had relayed that Megatron wasn’t looking for the Miraculous, but rather, The All Spark, believing it to be buried under the city.
“What exactly is this ‘All Spark’?” Asked General Bryce, as Optimus frowned.
“It is an ancient force from Cybertron, that allows new sparks to be formed,” Said Optimus, “in essence, it could create worlds and fill them, with life.”
“And that’s how your race began.” Said the head of the CIA, “But why would it be under a city, who put it there.”
“Mr. Edmund, I doubt the All Spark was placed on earth, it is more likely it was drifting through space and entered Earth’s atmosphere, where it crashed down onto the planet with enough force to block out the sun.” Said Optimus, before looking at the other human officials, “It is likely that the All Spark was aboard a ship that no doubt was destroyed upon impact with the Earth.”
The Officials were silent.
“The secret’s out.” Said the President, “The whole world now knows about you, amazingly, some terrorist groups are now claiming responsibility for the attack, only to be attacked themselves.”
“There is also the issue of the two humans that had their species changed.” Said Bryce, as Fowler coughed.
“Sir, they were both grievously injured in Paris,” Said Fowler, “The only way to save them was to get them immediate medical attention.”
“Facilities that the Autobot base doesn’t possess.” Said Bryce, glancing out at the sea of people, “And since you were evacuating civilians, you couldn’t spare the bots or resources to get them to a hospital.” “Had the change not taken place, they would’ve perish passing through the Ground Bridge.” Said Optimus, as there was a cough from the entrance to the room.
Optimus, and the Human officials, turned and looked at the source of the cough. Bulkhead stood in the entrance.
“Miko’s awake.” Said Bulkhead, as Optimus nodded.
“I’m afraid, Gentlemen,” Said Optimus, turning back to the Officials, “that my presence is needed elsewhere.”
Optimus turned and walked out of the room, looking at Bulkhead, “Has Jack shown any signs of regaining consciousness?”
Bulkhead shook his head, “Miko was demanding to seem him, but, frankly, I’m not sure how he’d react if his woke up to his current state.”
Optimus frowned, “Has there been any response to our message?”
“Jackie hasn’t received anything, but they might be maintaining radio silence until they reach earth.” Replied Bulkhead, as he opened a door and a wrench his Optimus in the chest.
“Whoa, Miko!” Yelled Bulkhead, getting in front of Optimus, “Calm down!”
“Where’s Jack?!” Screamed Miko, picking up a barrel and throwing it.
“Jack is still under observation, Miko,” Said Optimus, internally groaning about his shattered wind screen, “he has yet to regain consciousness and his emotional state will be greatly unstable.”
“Unstable?!” Screeched Miko, throwing a crate with circuit boards at the two, “That’s a fucking understatement! He just saw his mother bisected corpse!”
Optimus couldn’t contain the wince, before the comm went off.
“Optimus, we have a problem.” Said Smokescreen.
“What is it, Smokescreen?” Asked Optimus, keeping an eye on Miko.
“Jack’s awake, and he’s kicking the scrap out of us.” There was the sound of Smokescreen being hit, before there was silence.
“Smokescreen?!” Demanded Optimus, before heading out the door, already knowing that Smokescreen was out of action.
Marinette saw Optimus, Bulkhead and Miko run across the base, no doubt trying to reach Jack.
NC
Megatron glared at the burning city from the throne that had been made from the hideous structure that the humans dared to call ‘art’. Lockdown had told him about these ‘miraculous’ but Megatron’s prize was something far more powerful. Soundwave had detected the All-Spark underneath the city, spurring Megatron to claim it as his new capital, with the power of the All Spark, and his own scientists work, Megatron would be able to cyberform this entire world and then move on to Cybertron, Primus and Unicron. Creation and Destruction. Life and Death. Soon, Megatron would be taking his place amongst the gods.
Megatron heard frantic pleading, spotting Dreadwing dragging Starscream towards him. Shockwave had been returned to them, mostly thanks to Soundwave who’s detected some unusual activity on Cybertron.
“Starscream.” Growled Megatron, getting to his feet, “What feeble excuse do you have for us this time?”
“P-p-please, Master,” Whimpered Starcream, trying to pry Dreadwing’s hand off his head, “I-I-I only came here to re-pledge my undying loyalty to you!”
Megatron glared down at Starscream, before throwing is head back and laughing, “You are many things, Starscream, but, frankly, I no longer have any need of you.”
Starscream’s eyes widened, as Megatron levelled his fusion cannon with the Seeker’s head. The last thing the treacherous Decepticon saw was Megatron’s displeased snarl and the cannon discharging.
Starscream’s lifeless husk fell to the ground.
“Shockwave, I believe you have some experiments that required… test subjects.” Said Megatron, as two Vehicon’s started dragging Starscream’s body, as Megatron held his hand out to Soundwave. The Silent Decepticon dropped a spark into his hand, “And someone find out where the real Starscream is and bring him here.”
The Decepticons dispersed, leaving the warlord alone with his thoughts.
NC
Optimus and Bulkhead pinned a squirming Jack to the ground, while Ratchet tried to sedate him. One of Bumblebee’s door wings had been torn off, while Smokescreen had lost an arm, Wheeljack, Arcee and Cliffjumper had sported minor injuries. Wheeljack was working with Arcee to reattach Smokescreen’s arm, fortunately it was a clean cut. Miko sat on the ground next to Jack, doing her best to calm him down. After a few minutes of struggling, Miko had calmed Jack down enough for Ratchet to give him the sedative.
“That went well.” Said Arcee, as Smokescreen rotated his arm and Ratchet worked to reattaching Bumblebee’s missing door wing.
“Never would’ve thought it.” Groaned Smokescreen, jerking his arm around.
“Is he going to be okay?” Asked Miko, making the Autobots look at her.
“Jack was under a great deal of mental and emotional stress when the change occurred,” Said Ratchet, looking at the monitor on his arm, “I’m afraid that I can only help patch up his wounds, I don’t that the necessary skills to help with his emotional wellbeing.”
“You, you said he was a triple changer,” Said Miko, her gold optics looking up at Optimus, “What is that?”
“A triple changer, Miko,” Said Optimus, after a moment, “Is a Cybertronian who had two alt modes, most of them joined the Decepticons, with very few siding with the Autobots.”
Miko blinked a couple of times, before looking back down at Marinette.
“Where’re Hot Rod and Cogman?” Asked Arcee, looking around for the two Autobots.
“Cogman is on the roof of the base,” Said Ratchet, as he pulled a piece of shrapnel out of Jack’s shoulder, “Hot Rod is seeking a new alt mode.”
Optimus frowned, before leaving the room and heading to the roof. Cogman’s back was to Optimus.
“Seven Autobots have broken Earth’s atmosphere and heading to the surrounding desert.” Said Cogman, looking up at the sky.
“Have you been able to discern their identities?” Asked Optimus, stopping next to Cogman.
“Jazz, Prowl, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Mirage and Jetfire have sent out identifying signals,” Said Cogman, not looking at the Prime, “The seventh hasn’t responded and there are four more Autobot signals entering the system.”
Optimus frowned, the six Cogman had listed would be excellent additions to Team Prime, but he couldn’t help but worry that the seventh signal was some Decepticon trap. Optimus was broken from his musings when a ship appeared above them. Optimus squinted his optics, identifying the ship at the Iron Will.
Cogman went to draw his weapons, “Stand down, Cogman, it’s Ultra Magnus.”
The Cybertronian Knight froze, before scowling. The ship touched down beside the base, prompting Optimus to head back inside the base.
NC
Marinette laughed as Kim finished his story. There was an idle chatter amongst the Parisians, some were laughing, while others were simply basking in the silence of their group. Arcee watched the humans.
“It’s crazy, isn’t it?” Asked Smokescreen, joining Arcee, “They just lost everything and they’re acting as if nothing’s changed.”
“Smokescreen,” Said Arcee, after a moment, “they lost objects and those who lost family found others who share their grief. At the end of the day, they still have each other.”
Smokescreen looked at Arcee, “You sounded just like Optimus.”
“I’ve serving under his command for years, frag me.” Snarked the motorcycle, as Optimus walked back into the base.
“I’m not sure I want to know.” Said Optimus, walking over to the monitor station, “Seven new Autobots have arrived on this world, with another four approaching.”
“Any idea who they are?” Asked Arcee, as Smokescreen returned to watching the humans.
“Ultra Magnus has landed his ship outside,” Said Optimus, observing the screen, “Cogman has identified the other signals of valued allies, they will need picking up before Megatron comes for them.”
Arcee frowned, before the monitor beeped and an Autobot life signal lit up the screen, “Wait, is that Ironhide?”
“Cogman identified Ironhide as one of the signals that arrived,” Said Optimus, as he programmed the ground bridge, “Arcee, Smokescreen, come with me.”
NC
Ultra Magnus raised an eyebrow as he scanned the planet, he heard one of his passengers snort at him.
“If you have something to say, soldier, now’s the time.” Said Ultra Magnus, turning around.
The Autobot who snorted at him, Brawn, folded his arms, “You just said we landed outside of Prime’s base, why don’t we just knock on the front door.”
Brawn was primarily green and yellow and resembled Bulkhead. Behind Brawn, Springer, a green triple changer, coughed and Kup, a teal warrior with a cigar in his mouth scowled.
“Whether we’re outside Optimus’s base or not, we cannot risk being seen by the natives of this world.” Said a rose-and-white femme, Elita One, looking around the mechs, “Optimus is concerned about someone.”
“Attention, Autobot Ship Iron Will,” Came Ratchet’s voice through the comms, “The main entrance to the base is open, I’d like to suggest you come in, before Ironhide destroys any more of my equipment.”
“I heard that, Doc.” Came Ironhide’s famous drawl.
The Autobots heard Ratchet sigh, before terminating the connection.
“I think it’s safe to go in.” Said Brawn, standing up, “I hate being in this tiny ship.”
The Autobots filed out of the ship and into the base, with Ultra Magnus activating the cloak as soon as they were off the ship. Elita smiled at the sight of Arcee, before freezing at the sight of two Cybertronians she didn’t recognise. Arcee followed her sisters gaze and winced.
“It’s a long story.” Said Arcee, as Optimus re-entered the base, followed by Jazz, Prowl and Jetfire.
“I think we’re going to need a bigger base.” Said Smokescreen, looking around.
Springer was accosted by Ratchet and practically dragged to the med bay, “Finally, someone who might be compatible with my patient.”
“What?” Asked Springer, as Ratchet forced him onto a berth.
The ground bridge opened again, as Bulkhead lead Sideswipe and Mirage into the base.
“Wow, what a dump.” Said Sideswipe, as Arcee went back to looking into the room she’d been looking in before Elita arrived.
Ultra Magnus approached Arcee, before catching sight of the sea of humans.
“What are they doing in the base?” Asked Ultra Magnus, making Arcee look up.
“Long story.” Came Arcee’s response, “Optimus will fill you in once everyone’s here.”
“Optimus the four signal Cogman said were entering the system that just broken the atmosphere.” Called Ratchet, squinting at the screen, “It’s Hound, Crosshair, Drift and Warpath.”
Smokescreen let out a low whistle, “Is it me or are we getting a ton of heavy hitters?”
NC
Marinette looked at all the people getting ready to leave, they were being taken back to France and were going to be placed in temporary housing until Paris had been reclaimed. The Autobots had taken the news about Jack and Miko with mixed results, Ultra Magnus and Kup didn’t believe it, until they spoke with Miko, while Crosshairs thought it’d be funny to get a rise out of Jack. Crosshairs still had trouble with his arm.
Ironhide, Springer and Jetfire had taken to training the newly turned Cybertronians, while Optimus dealt with the press. The rest of Team Prime had started ferrying the Parisians back to France. Cliffjumper crouched next to Marinette, making her look up.
“We’re doing everything we can it make it like it was.” Said Cliffjumper, looking over the sea of Humans.
“Optimus is going to try and take the city back, isn’t he?” Asked Marinette, looking back at the crowd.
“Yeah,” Said Cliffjumper, as Elita One directed Mirage and Sideswipe in their tasks, “I know it’s gonna seem a bit empty, but I promise, we’ll do everything in our power for you to go home.”
“Thanks,” Responded Marinette, smiling slightly, “It means a lot.”
“Marinette!” Called Kagami, as she prepared to get on a truck, “It’s time to go!”
Marinette nodded, before looking up at Cliffjumper, “I guess this is goodbye.”
“I prefer a ‘see you soon’.” Said Cliffjumper, before crouching lower, allowing Marinette to hug his head, “I’ll miss ya, kid.”
“I’m gonna miss you too.” Replied Marinette, before heading away from the Autobot.
“There’s nothing you can do,” Said Hound, his cigar bouncing as he spoke, “we’re gonna out live ‘em all anyway.”
The last of the trucks vanished through the ground bridge, leaving the Autobots alone.
NC
Cliffjumper looked at the crowd of humans, a task force specially designed to fight the Decepticons, the Non-biological Extra-terrestrial Species Treaty. Optimus frowned as Bumblebee and Jetfire returned from their scouting missions.
“They are surrounding the city like a fortress, so that no one can see what they’re up to on the inside.” Mused Optimus, frowning, “Our only chance is through the element of surprise.”
“How are we supposed to retake it?” Asked Sideswipe, scowling at the wreckages.
“Earth is our home now, Sideswipe, while we call it our home, we must defend it.” Said Optimus, looking at the red Autobot, “I can only ask you to follow me into battle.”
“Optimus, you don’t even need to ask.” Said Konton, Miko, cracking her knuckles. Wheeljack had adopted her, to prevent her spark from failing, with Optimus and Elita doing the same for Jack, who’d taken the name Trion, in reference to his three forms.
“Then, today, in the name of freedom, we shall take the battle to them.” Said Optimus, turning away from the group, “Autobots, Transform and Roll Out!”

For the Romping and the Roaring- Part 3
My submission for Day 3 of @serpentfever's Inhuman Event!
Link to read on ffn.net (Recommended if you are on mobile or haven't read the previous parts yet)
Preview:
Dammit, this was all his fault! He was so pathetic, how had he let this happen?
The hairs on the back of his neck tingled, and he glanced up and caught sight of Borg standing outside his cell, staring at him.
“You almost messed up everything, you brat. I’m not going to forget that.”
The pain increased again, and Kai screamed, feeling his eyes roll back in his head as blackness swamped at the edges of his vision.
“Turn it down, I don’t want him passing out.”
The pain dropped suddenly, and Kai gasped in relief, tears streaming down his face. It wasn’t gone completely, though- there was still a faint buzzing emitting from the collar- not enough to be painful, but enough to put him on edge.
Enough to remind him that he wasn’t the one in control here.
(Full chapter under the cut)
Prompts Used: Chase, Dehumanized
Word Count: 9,206 (welp we're back to browser-crashing length again)
Rating: Definitely T, maybe like T+
Trigger Warnings: Dehumanization (obviously), Imprisonment, Torture, Attempted Murder, Drugs, Blood, Depression, Suicidal Thoughts (yeah… this one’s pretty heavy, guys. Probably the darkest thing i've ever written...)
Consciousness came slowly, as if the air around him was thick and sticky. A metallic tang filled his mouth, and his limbs felt weighted and heavy. Everything hurt, and Kai wanted nothing more than to just fall back into the comfort of sleep, but his head was throbbing too much to do so. Breathing slowly, he opened his eyes.
At first, he just saw more darkness, and he wondered if he had even opened his eyes at all. After a few minutes of just staring at the ceiling, though, enough light made its way to his eyes that he could make out the long, steel bars that made up the far wall. Shackles dug into his wrists, the chain only giving him enough room to move his hands up to a foot apart, and another restraint, around his right ankle, was attached to a chain a couple yards long that tied him to where it was bolted to the floor in the corner. His muzzle was gone, although there was a leather band strapped around his throat, almost like some sort of collar. The cell was completely empty except for a toilet in the corner, and a sorry excuse for a mattress against the back wall.
Groaning, he raised his hands and rubbed his face, slowly pulling himself into a sitting position. Immediately, fluid rushed into his throat, and he choked, spitting and sending blood splattering all over the concrete. Running his tongue against the roof of his mouth, he felt the puncture wounds and realized that he must’ve bit down on it sometime when he had been unconscious. Coughing up the rest of the blood, he forced himself to breathe slowly, trying to ignore his stinging tongue.
When he had gotten his bearings a little better, he squinted, peering through the bars. In the cell across from him, Nya laid sprawled out on the floor, her chest rising and falling steadily as she slept. There was a nasty cut across her forehead, blood dripping into her eyes. Kai tasted the air, trying to catch the scent of any other injuries she might’ve had, but the scent of his own blood flooded his nostrils, blocking out anything else.
Against the back wall of the room, between their two cells, was the other occupied cell, where Lloyd was curled up on his mattress, the ashy gray color stained red beneath where his injured leg was stretched out. His chains were similar to the ones Kai and Nya had, although a significant amount shorter, so he could hardly even move around the cell.
Forcing himself to jerk his gaze away, he looked in the other direction. A few more cells stretched down the hallway, but they were all empty.
They were utterly alone.
The only sign of life in the place was the thin crack of light from underneath the door at the end of the hallway. Apart from that, though, the room was pitch black.
Kai leaned back against the wall with a huff. He had really done it now, hadn’t he? Gotten them all thrown in prison- they were likely either going to die or be kept here for the rest of their lives. There was no way that Borg would ever give them any freedom again, now that they knew too much.
There really was no escaping this one, was there?
Augh, if only him and Nya hadn’t had that stupid argument, they would be safe, back with the others right now.
Kai wondered how long they had been here. Had the others noticed their absence yet? Would they try to come after them?
As much as he wanted to be saved, wanted Nya and Lloyd to be safe, he really hoped they didn’t. The last thing he needed right now was the others being thrown in here with them. He hoped they ran far, far, away and never came back.
Kai wished for nothing more than to be back with them now, to feel one of Cole’s strong hugs, or Zane’s comforting presence, or even to hear one of Jay’s horrible jokes.
Kai buried his face in his knees and cried.
He just wanted to go home.
A soft moan sounded from across the room. “...Kai?”
Kai lifted his head briefly, meeting Nya’s tired, scared expression. “What?”
“What happened? Where are we?”
“Borg found us. He’s keeping us prisoner.” He lowered his face back into his knees, not even having the strength to hold his neck up anymore.
“Have you seen him yet? Borg?”
“No.”
“Have you spoken to anyone yet? Has anyone come down here?”
“No.”
Sensing the frustration in his tone, Nya fell silent. He heard the rattle of chains as she paced around the cell. For a long time, that was the only sound he heard, and after a while, he laid, face up, on his mattress, the sound of the chains the only thing reminding him that he wasn’t alone down here.
It could’ve been minutes or hours later when a noise sounded from the other side of the room. Kai sat up, glaring.
The door on the far end swung open, and light washed into the room. Kai threw his arms over his face, hissing at the brightness of it. After only a moment, though, the light faded, and Kai lowered his arms to see the door had been shut again. Flashlights clicked on, shining down the hall, and Kai squinted, catching sight of two trainers, and a vet, none of whose names Kai could remember.
With them, was Borg.
Nya growled at him, gripping the bars of her cell. “What do you want with us?”
“What I wanted was for you to do as you were told,” Borg told her, shining the light in her eyes, “but you just had to go and mess that up, didn’t you.”
Nya blinked furiously at the harsh light, but didn’t back down. “You wanted us to stand by and do nothing as you killed Lloyd?”
“Certain words are not meant for certain ears, dear. You two shouldn’t have been there that night. You really did make things much, much more complicated than they needed to be.”
“Why did you do it,” Kai snapped. “Why did you ever shelter us in the first place if all you were going to do was kill us?”
“Not you,” Borg corrected. “Only the boy. He messed everything up. The rest of you were supposed to be incredibly useful.”
“Stop dodging the question.”
“Boy, I am not dodging anything.” He turned his flashlight’s beam on Kai, his face suddenly looking a lot more threatening than Kai had ever seen it. “You are the one avoiding the truth here. I didn’t ‘take you in’ from anywhere. I made you. You and your mutant friends are nothing more than a lab experiment.”
Kai fell back from the bars, breathing out heavily. He heard Nya gasp, but he didn’t look at her. He didn’t look at anything, just at the ground.
“The truth stings, doesn’t it? You aren’t anything special, you aren’t unique. You were merely a trial for what is to come.”
“A trial for what?” Nya growled.
“You and your friends have been plenty useful. You have been resources to study, to sample DNA from, a test to see if we could contain you before we started making the others.”
Kai blinked. “Others?”
“Of course. You and your friends obviously didn’t work out- and you’re all too far gone now.”
“I don’t understand,” Kai asked. “Why do you want more… more people like us? You obviously don’t care about us.”
“I care about what you can do. Imagine the potential- a legion of seemingly normal people, such as yourself- who can, in the blink of an eye, transform into an army of great beasts! People who could fly, who could cross great distances in the blink of an eye, those who could hear our enemies coming from a mile away, or who could wield the strength of ten men. I’d be unstoppable!”
Kai and Nya exchanged horrified glances. “You’re building an army? What for?”
“Kai, my dear boy. Borg Industries is powerful, but we cannot do whatever we please. We still have so many regulations, limitations, and surveillance. Biotechnology, such as what we have developed, could change the world. But the world is deeply rooted in tradition, afraid of change. They would shun us, sue us for our groundbreaking discoveries, when we deserved to be praised and cheered for. What we need is more power. And power never comes for free. True power is only won through brute force.”
“You’ll never get anyone to comply with that,” Kai hissed. “We’re not objects, we’re living, breathing beings. You can’t just bend that to your will.”
“Oh, but we will. In time, anything can be controlled. We just need to make a few altercations to our future experiments. Something you and your friends have made incredibly easy by being our test subjects over the last couple decades. Your kind is really quite fascinating, you know.”
Kai bared his teeth and roared at him, but Borg merely laughed. “See, the problem with you is that we made you too human. Too sentient. There needs to be some balance, of course- a wild animal is untamed, it has no master- but a human being has too many weaknesses, too many thoughts of rebellion and betrayal.” Narrowing his eyes at Kai, he added, “Something we found out the hard way.
“We got closer with the child- his instincts appeared to be less humane, and he didn’t cause so much of a fuss.” He paused, frowning. “That is, until a few weeks ago.
“I think where we went wrong with him was the species. An oni and a dragon- two of the most powerful creatures known to man- we thought he would have unspeakable power. And he did- but it was too much, too much to be contained.
“But he has been a valuable resource- we shall use what we have learned with him to create a somewhat less powerful species. This time, we will get it right.”
Nya hissed at him, and he scowled, leaning over and spitting on her.
“The child has been very useful, indeed, but he has served his purpose, now. We no longer have a use for him.” Gesturing to the vet with one hand, she stepped forward, the carefully wrapped parcel in her hands now visible as she, Borg, and the trainers walked towards Lloyd’s cage.
“No!” Kai roared, jolting to his feet and racing to the bars. “Get away from him!”
“It’s for your own good. This child could off you in your sleep, if he so wished.”
Time was moving in slow motion. The door of Lloyd’s cage swung open with an eerie creak, and they filed inside. The vet unwrapped the parcel, revealing a syringe filled with a blue liquid, and a long, pointed needle on the end.
“Don’t you fuckin’ touch him!” Kai screamed, shaking at the bars of the cell. “You’re a deranged, psychotic, murdering bi-”
“Please, Dr. Borg, reconsider,” Nya whined, cutting off Kai’s violent string of curses. “We’ll be good, we’ll do what you want, just don’t kill him, please-”
“Shut up, the both of you,” Borg snapped. “We’re trying to work here. Nya, stop your sniveling, we know you’re not on our side. You’re no use to us anymore- Kai, stop trying to break through the bars, don’t you think we thought of that? Why do you think these cells are here in the first place? I had them made a while ago, as a precaution. They’re specifically tailored to counteract your special abilities. Nothing you do is going to break them.”
“I’ll kill you, I’ll find a way out of here and I’ll murder you-”
Borg sighed. “He’s losing it.” Turning to a trainer, he asked, “Turn it on, will you?”
The trainer pulled a small remote from his pocket, and turned a little dial.
Sharp, stinging pain shot through Kai’s neck, and he yelped, falling back from the bars and gripping at his neck- which was when he remembered the leather band there.
“I’m not-” he reached out, gasping as he wrapped a hand around one of the bars. “You’re not making me-”
The pain increased, and Kai doubled over, wheezing, his eyes watering. “Ahhh!”
“Kai!” Nya yelped. “Stop it, what are you doing to him?”
“Handy little device your trainers whipped up for you. Human shock collar. You like it? Except these things can deliver a lot more voltage than the kind people put on their dogs.”
“Stop it, please-” he moaned. Pins and needles were stabbing into his neck, the zinging reverberating down his spine.
“Do it, while he’s distracted.”
Kai pushed back against the pain, rolling his eyes up so that he could see Lloyd. The boy was still sleeping soundly on the mattress, although one ear was twitching slightly. Or maybe that was just the collar, vibrating him.
“Lloyd!” He screamed, the collar making his voice tremble. “Wake up, wake up, they’re going to-”
The pain increased tenfold, and Kai choked, falling to his knees. He gritted his teeth, and they chattered from the vibrations. He wasn’t giving up, he couldn’t-
“Lloyd!”
The roar ripped through the room, echoing off the walls and causing everyone in the room to flinch. Lloyd jerked awake, squealing as he caught sight of Borg and the needle. Leaping off of the mattress, he darted across the cell in a flash-
He stumbled with a squeak of pain as he tripped over his injured leg, tumbling to the floor. The trainers and Borg surrounded him, boxing him in as the vet approached slowly with the needle.
“Lloyd, fight! Fight back!”
Lloyd hissed in the vet’s face, fire shooting from his throat. The vet cried out, stumbling back. One of the trainers grabbed at him, and Lloyd whipped around, chomping down on her hand.
“He bit me,” she shrieked, pulling back. “The brat bit me, I’m probably going to get like, rabies or something!”
“You’ll be fine,” Borg snapped, “just stop him!”
Lloyd hissed in his face, jumping from the man’s hand as he reached for him-
Just as the vet stabbed the needle into his thigh.
Kai, Nya, and Lloyd screamed.
The pain from the shock collar barely registered anymore, the burning in his chest so much stronger. Kai gripped the bars of the cell, rage and fear and despair wracking his body so he didn’t even know how to function.
Borg had done it, he had killed him, he was gone-
Kai’s stomach heaved, and he turned away, throwing up across the concrete. How could this be happening, what had he done to deserve this, what had Lloyd done?
He hugged his knees to his chest, sobs shuddering through him, teeth rattling. He hadn’t even been able to save one person, he had failed everyone, Zane and Cole and Jay were going to hate him when they found out their baby brother was dead and Kai had done nothing to stop it-
Not that it mattered, it wasn’t like he was going to ever see them again.
Dammit, this was all his fault! He was so pathetic, how had he let this happen?
The hairs on the back of his neck tingled, and he glanced up and caught sight of Borg standing outside his cell, staring at him.
“You almost messed up everything, you brat. I’m not going to forget that.”
The pain increased again, and Kai screamed, feeling his eyes roll back in his head as blackness swamped at the edges of his vision.
“Turn it down, I don’t want him passing out.”
The pain dropped suddenly, and Kai gasped in relief, tears streaming down his eyes. It wasn’t gone completely, though- there was still a faint buzzing emitting from the collar- not enough to be painful, but enough to put him on edge.
Enough to remind him that he wasn’t the one in control here.
Not that Kai really cared anymore. Lloyd was dead. Nothing mattered.
Kai wanted to die.
---
Over the next few hours- days? minutes? he didn’t know, and frankly, he didn’t care- weariness dragged at Kai, but sleep wouldn’t come. No, sleep would be too easy, too peaceful. Instead, he laid awake, staring at the ceiling as darkness sapped at his limbs. He didn’t move to the mattress, just stayed on the floor. Maybe the coolness of the concrete could alleviate some of the raging heat storming inside of him.
Every once in a while, he mustered the strength to crawl over the toilet so he could throw up. He didn’t know why he bothered. Being hygienic didn’t matter to him anymore. Nothing mattered.
After the third time, though, he had thrown up everything his stomach had to give, and when his insides kept churning, he just rested his head on the side of the toilet and dry heaved.
“Kai,” Nya whispered after a minute of this. “Stop, you’re just going to make yourself sick again.”
“I don’t care,” he rasped, his throat dry and raw.
“Damn that, I don’t want to lose you too.”
“We’re all going to die down here eventually.”
She fell silent at that. She knew he was right.
“You’re scaring Lloyd, Kai. Don’t let him see you like this.”
“Are you delusional, Nya? Lloyd’s gone.”
“Not yet,” she whimpered. “It… it hasn’t kicked in yet. I guess it must take a while until… anyway, see for yourself.”
“I don’t want to. I’m scared.”
“He’s here, I promise you.”
“What if it’s too painful? I don’t want to see him if I’m just going to lose him in a few minutes.”
“What if you miss out on your only chance to see him one more time?”
Kai was quiet for a moment. Mustering all the strength he had left, he slowly turned over.
Lloyd was sitting at the edge of his cell, staring at him. He was smiling softly at Kai, but his eyes were fearful. Kai tried to ignore how his ears were drooping, how his tail hung limp, and his eyelids heavy with sleep, one he would never wake up from-
Kai broke into tears, and Lloyd churred softly, leaning against the bars as he reached his fingers through. Kai did the same, although there was still a gaping distance between them.
“I’m scared,” he whispered.
“I’m sorry,” Kai choked through the tears. “I’m sorry this happened to you. You don’t deserve any of it.”
“‘s not your fault,”
“It’s not yours, either,” Nya told him. “None of this happened because of you. I want you to remember that, okay? Don’t… don’t think about that, now.”
Nya buried her face in her hands, whimpering. Lloyd leaned his face on the bars. “I love you guys.”
“We love you too, bud,” Kai whispered. “More than you will ever know.”
---
Sleep found him eventually- that, or lack of fluids caused him to pass out. Either way, some time had passed by the time he drug his eyelids open again.
Squinting, he realized there were people standing in front of Lloyd’s cell. Sounds filtered in slowly, taking a moment to come through clearly.
“-don’t understand, why hasn’t it kicked in yet? He should’ve stopped breathing long ago.”
“I’m not sure. This should have worked. It might have something to do with his lineage, I suppose- perhaps his genes grant him extra immunity to fight back against it.”
“That seems logical. He definitely seems very drowsy and sluggish, so it obviously had some effect on him-”
“But not the one we wanted,” a third voice snapped. As consciousness came fully, he connected the voice to Borg. “Apparently he’s immune to euthenasia drugs, now? What next? This is only more proof of what I’ve been saying- he’s becoming more dangerous. We should’ve killed him right away, that first night, when we had the chance.”
“It’s alright, sir, we still have time. He’s not going anywhere, down here. We can develop a stronger serum.”
“Do you think it will work?”
“With the right blood samples from him, I can be confident of it.”
“How soon can you have it ready?”
“A few days, a week- it’s hard to tell until I start.”
“Fine. But it better work this time. Or you’re fired.”
“You have my word, sir.”
Footsteps echoed past his cell, then down the hall. The sound of the door swinging shut determined they had left. Kai sat up immediately.
“Nya! Did you hear that?”
“It didn’t work,” she breathed. “He’s going to be okay!”
“For now. How long do you think it’s going to take them to make the new drug?”
“If I know Borg, I wouldn’t bet on long. We have to find a way out of here before we actually do lose him.”
“But how?” He breathed out, falling back against the wall. “We’re trapped here. The securative measures aren’t exactly light. I wouldn’t even know where to begin.”
Nya was quiet for a moment. “We’ll figure something out.”
“I sure hope so.”
Nya turned towards Lloyd’s cell, pressing her face against the bars. “How’re you doing, Lloydster?”
Lloyd murmured sleepily at her, and she sighed. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad it didn’t kill him, but I hope it doesn’t make him sick.”
“Yeah. It seems like he’s just tired, but who knows.”
The door swung open again, and the two shied back from the light. Two people shuffled in, both unfamiliar, and Kai eyed them warily.
They were young, probably not much older than Cole. Kai was surprised that Borg was even letting them know that Kai and the other hybrids existed, not to mention letting them in their cell block alone.
The male stretched out his hand as he passed, letting his knuckles clack against the bars eerily.
“What do you want,” Kai snapped.
“Chill out, mutant boy, I’m here to feed you.”
Just at the mention of food, Kai’s stomach rumbled. His mouth watered, and against his will, he found himself leaning towards the man. He hadn’t eaten- or drank- anything since the morning of their capture- which, although he had no idea how much time had passed, felt like forever ago. He had even considered drinking out of the toilet at one point, but had decided he wasn’t that desperate.
Yet.
The man laughed at his expression. “Check it out, Em. They really are like animals.”
Kai clenched his teeth, surging up to the bars. “Listen, you punk, you don’t know-”
He was interrupted as his shock collar went off, screaming with pain as he rolled to his knees, frothing at the mouth. He heard shrieks from Nya and Lloyd too, but he was in too much pain to move. The rusty hinges of his cell door screeched as the man entered, laying two metal bowls by the wall. He felt his arms get tugged back, metal cuffs clicking around them. He wanted to kick and hiss at the man, hurt him while he was still within distance, but the pain from the collar stopped him.
There was a dry, rattling sound as the man filled his bowls, then exited the cell, locking the door firmly. Then, finally, the pain dropped away.
“What was that for,” he rasped, his voice still raw from the sudden shock.
“Couldn’t have you fighting back, could we?”
Kai grimaced. He glanced over at Nya and Lloyd and saw they had been cuffed too. “Why do we need handcuffs to eat? Isn’t that sort of counterintuitive?”
“Borg says you’re feisty. Doesn’t want to take the chance of you using anything that’s not bolted down to your advantage. Or to try and kill yourself. He wants to keep you around for a while yet, in case he needs to do any more testing.”
“You think I could escape- or kill myself- with a bowl?”
“You’d be surprised what people can do when they’re desperate. Now, eat up- unless you want to be handcuffed the rest of the night.”
Kai turned to the bowls, squinting at them. One was filled with a gritty-looking water that didn’t seem much more appealing than the toilet water. The other was filled with small, hard, brown pellets.
“What is this, dog food?” Nya scoffed.
The woman smiled. “That’s exactly what it is, sweetheart. What, you weren’t expecting a five-course meal, were you?”
“You can’t seriously expect us to eat this!”
“Would you rather have no food?” The woman asked sweetly. “I’m sure that could be arranged.”
Nya went quiet, but her nose wrinkled as she stared down at the food.
Kai sighed. As unappetizing as it was, it beat the horrible hunger pangs, or passing out from dehydration. He went to reach for the bowl-
Then he remembered the handcuffs.
“How the hell are we supposed to eat with our hands tied behind our backs?”
The guy smiled wickedly. “I’m sure you’ll figure it out, kitty.”
Kai felt his face turn bright red. They wanted them to eat from the bowl like dogs. This was humiliating.
But he was so hungry. He didn’t know when the next opportunity for food would come.
Leaning down, he scooped up a mouthful of the pellets. They were gritty and sour, one of the worst things Kai had ever tasted in his life, but at this point he didn’t care. He could hear the man and woman who had brought the food laughing and jeering behind him, and he tried to ignore it. It was this, or starve.
After he had finished the food, he burped at the awful taste, trying to suppress the urge to throw it all up. But he forced himself to lick the sides of the bowl, getting every bit of food he could scrounge.
The dry, salty taste of the dog food had only worsened his thirst now, and by this point he didn’t care how dirty the water looked, setting upon it with frantic laps of his tongue. He immediately found it to be much harder than eating. Water dribbled down his chin, so by the time the bowl was empty, his front side was soaked and only about half of the liquid had actually been swallowed. The man and woman got a kick out of that, joking that he had wet himself. Kai had never felt worse than this in his life. He would rather take the pain from the shock collar. He had wanted to go hide behind the toilet for the rest of the night, but knew that would only make the teasing worse.
After what seemed like forever, Nya and Lloyd finally finished their meals and the man and woman turned their attention away from Kai. The shock collars were turned on again, and Kai was once again helplessly paralyzed with pain as the man came in and removed his handcuffs, put the more flexible shackles back on, and took away the bowls. When the cell doors were locked, the shock collars were turned off. Kai forced himself to stay still until the man and woman were gone, but as soon as the room’s door was shut, he collapsed into a ball, hugging himself and shivering.
No one spoke for a long time after that, letting him know that he wasn’t the only one deeply disturbed by their experience.
Kai’s sleep was broken and feverish that night, filled with dreams of him, Lloyd, and Nya locked up in a giant kennel. Children kept peering in, poking their fingers at them and barking at them. They dressed him up in bows and made him do tricks, laughing and giving him dog treats when he complied, and zapping him with the shock collar when he didn’t.
He burst awake in a cold sweat, crying with relief when he realized it had just been a dream.
He didn’t fall asleep again after that, even though his whole body felt heavy with exhaustion.
The next time the door opened, he scrambled back from the light, hissing. His head was aching, and the darkness offered the only sort of comfort right now.
But he was ignored, four trainers walking past his and Nya’s cages and towards the one on the end. Instantly, Kai was at the bars, watching them carefully with bared teeth. If they tried to pull something again-
Well, what was he going to do? He was helpless in here.
Glancing over, he saw a pair of yellow-green eyes glowing in the darkness and knew that Nya was watching, too.
The door of Lloyd’s cage slowly creaked open, and a pair of trainers slipped in. Lloyd hissed at them as they approached, and they stopped. Slowly, one of the trainers reached out, and Lloyd snapped at his hand, and he yanked it away, barely escaping unscathed.
The other trainer grabbed an object from his pocket that Kai recognized as the remote to the shock collars, and Kai immediately shied back, trembling as he remembered the pain.
“Behave, mutant,” the trainer with the remote snapped. “Or we will not hesitate to turn this on.”
Lloyd looked at the remote with wide eyes, his ears pressed flat against his head. Kai had been in some of the worst pain of his life the previous night- or whenever it had been, his internal clock had been all thrown off by the dark dungeon- and Lloyd was less than half his size. He didn’t want to think about how hard it must’ve been on his little body.
Reaching down, the other trainer in the cell clipped something onto his collar, then unfurled it. It was a blue, leather leash.
The trainer with the remote pulled a key out of his pocket and crouched down next to Lloyd. He hesitated, giving him a pointed glare. “Remember, no funny business.” Swiftly, he unlocked the chain around his leg.
Lloyd bolted, immediately falling to the floor as the trainer switched on the collar. Lloyd whimpered, writhing, and Kai growled, “Stop!”
A trainer outside of the cage whipped around. “Be quiet, or we won’t hesitate to turn yours on, too.”
“Turn it off,” another one said. “He needs to have strength to walk.”
Lloyd fell still, chest heaving as the collar deactivated. “You’re not going anywhere, pet,” the trainer with the leash scoffed, giving the leash a sharp tug for emphasis. “So don’t even try.”
The trainers filed out of the cage, tugging Lloyd none-to-genly behind them.
“What are you going to do to him?” Kai growled. “Where are you taking him?”
“Your little mutant has proven to be quite stubborn,” one of the trainers scowled. “But our vets are some of the best out there. With only a few blood samples, we’ll have a strong enough drug, don’t you worry.”
“He’s lost too much blood already,” Kai hissed. “You can’t do that.”
“What does it matter to us if he passes out? The creature is of no value to us- in fact, that would only make our job easier.”
Kai roared at her, and a sharp jolt zapped through him. He glared at the trainers. “It’s going to take more than that to quiet me.”
“Careful. If you cause too much trouble, we might zap the little guy, too.”
Kai snapped his jaws shut, his gaze drifting to Lloyd, who was struggling to his feet as the collar tugged tightly at his neck.
“Come on, pet,” the trainer holding Lloyd’s leash demanded. “We don’t have all day.”
Lloyd stumbled after him, but after only a few steps, his bad leg gave out and he tumbled to the floor, crying out.
“Get up!” The trainer yanked on the leash, jolting Lloyd towards him.
“Stop it, he can’t walk on that leg!” Nya cried. “It’s still injured!”
“Then crawl,” the trainer snapped, kicking him forward, and Lloyd jerked onto his hands and knees, shuffling after the trainers slowly.
Kai watched him pass, his ears flattened and his tail tucked between his legs as he was yanked along by the leash, and felt a sick feeling rise in his stomach. This wasn’t right, it was humiliating and a blatant disregard of dignity.
He didn’t understand how he had gone so long in Borg Tower without realizing the signs. How they had always been viewed as lesser, as objects for Borg’s use. No one had ever cared about them. All the toys, the trinkets, the gadgets, the outings- had been nothing but a trick to make them feel like they were worth something.
Nya had been right. As soon as they got out of here, Kai was gonna let Lloyd be whoever he wanted to be, and not make him change for anybody.
If they got out of here.
Kai crawled into the corner of his cage and curled up in a ball, hugging his knees to his chest, trying to ignore the depressing thoughts raging around in his head. He couldn’t afford to listen to them right now, right now he was just trying to focus on not throwing up. He didn’t know how long it would be until they next got food or water.
He was faintly aware of the shivers wracking his body, and wondered if he was coming down with something. He wouldn’t be surprised- he hadn’t consumed anything but dog food and stale water since they had been here, and had been wearing the same crusty clothes the whole time, too. There hadn’t even been a sink provided in the cage, not that it would do much to help him without soap, anyway.
Just another problem to add the list, he supposed.
It was funny how, before they had been captured, he had been so resentful and stressed about their situation, thinking it was one of the worst times of his life.
He would give pretty much anything to have those problems back, now.
---
“It’s been twelve hours since they were supposed to be back,” Jay yelped, pacing back and forth, his footsteps echoing sharply with an unusual agitation. “Even if something had happened, they would’ve come back by now, or at least called us.”
“They could’ve ran out of minutes,” Cole rationalized. “These damn prepaids don’t last very long.”
“But why wouldn’t they come back? Kai and Nya would never worry us like this, not unless they didn’t have a choice in the matter.”
“I know.” Cole ran his fingers through his hair. “But maybe they escaped. Maybe they ran and didn’t want to risk leading anyone back here.”
“I hope you’re right. If anything’s happened to them-” his lip quivered, and he looked away as tears pricked his eyes.
“Jay, it’s going to be okay.” Cole reached out, setting a hand on his shoulder. “We’re going to find them.”
“You can’t promise that,” Jay barked, flinching away.
“No. But I’m going to do everything in my power to try. They’re our family, Jay. Family doesn’t give up on family.”
“I know,” Jay sniffed, wiping at his eyes. “I’m just scared.”
Cole wrapped his hands around him, letting Jay bury his face in his shoulder. “Me too, bud. Me too.”
Jay and Cole jumped nearly a foot in the air as the door swung open, and Cole let out a breath of relief as he realized it was only Zane.
“Did you find anything?”
Zane shook his head. “No sign of them anywhere. I even asked a few of the shopkeepers- as many as I could without raising suspicion, anyway- by showing them a photo I had. A few of them thought they looked familiar, but no one was able to tell me where they went or if they had seen anything out of the ordinary.”
“We have to do something,” Jay insisted. “If they’re being held hostage somewhere, who knows what they’ll do to them.”
“What can we do?” Cole asked. “I want to do something as much as you do, but we don’t have anywhere to start. We don’t even know where they are.”
“Maybe not,” Zane admitted, “but we can make an educated guess. The most likely reason that Kai and Nya have not gotten back to us is that they were captured. There are two main parties most likely responsible. Borg Industries- and the Ninjago City Police.”
Jay frowned. “How do we know the police are against us?”
“We don’t. But we can’t entirely clear them yet, either. If they found out Kai, Nya, and Lloyd’s secret, they could possibly see them as a threat and lock them up.”
“But if hybrids like us are such a rare thing, the news would be all over this if the police had discovered them,” Cole pointed out. “We’re basically living under a rock in here, but you would’ve seen something, like on TV or somewhere, when you went out, wouldn’t you have?”
“Fair point. So we can most likely conclude that it was Borg that found them.”
Jay put his head in his hands. “Last time we saw Borg, he wanted to kill Lloyd. If we’re going to do something, we better hurry.”
“Where do you think he’s keeping them?” Cole asked. “Borg Tower?” “That feels too simple,” Jay muttered. “He knows that’s the first place we’d look. But at the same time, I have no idea where else they would be.”
“We can’t just storm the building,” Zane argued. “There’s only three of us. Even with our enhanced abilities, it would never be enough to get through Borg’s headquarters. If we even knew where to begin looking for them, that is. Borg Tower isn’t exactly small.”
“What options do we have?” Jay whined. “We can’t afford to waste any time. We have no idea what Borg could be doing to them right now. And, besides, even if we could wait a while, it’s not like we’re magically going to gain more allies or anything.”
“We need to come up with some sort of plan,” Zane insisted, “Otherwise we’re going to end up getting captured too, which won’t help anyone.”
“You’re both right. We can’t go in without a plan, but we can’t afford to wait, either. And no one’s going to have an epiphany just sitting around here thinking. If we’re going to make a plan that’ll work, we need more information.”
“How do you suggest we get it?” Zane frowned.
“We sneak down and scope out Borg Tower. We don’t breach it, just observe what we can from afar.”
Jay glanced at him skeptically. “You really think we’ll be able to find out much like that?”
“Does anyone else have any better ideas?”
No one said anything.
“Then it’s settled. That’s what we’re doing.”
“When do we set out?” Jay asked.
“I would like to leave as soon as possible, but it’s just too risky. If we don’t want to get caught, we should wait until the cover of dusk is on our side. I also don’t think we should risk taking the bus at all, and it’s a few hours walk to Borg Tower. We’ll leave here late afternoon.”
Zane and Jay exchanged glances, nodding. “Do you want us to do anything, Cole?”
“I dunno. Grab something to eat, get some rest if you can. I have no idea how long this is going to take. Pack up the bare essentials, just in case we’re not able to come back.
“Come this afternoon, be ready. We’re going to get our family back.”
---
Cole stared up at the looming skyscraper in front of him, his heart pounding in his chest.
This was it. They were here.
“Keep walking, Cole,” Zane whispered from behind him. “We don’t want to draw attention to ourselves.”
Cole picked up the pace, falling into step behind Jay, and melting into the crowd of passersby around them.
“What do we do now?” Jay whispered back to him.
“Just keep an eye out for-” Cole stopped, his gaze drifting towards the front doors of Borg Tower.
“What is it?”
“Over there,” he hissed, nodding sideways in the direction. Two people, emerging from the doors of Borg Tower, whom Cole didn’t recognize, but noticed the familiar outfits of the caretakers, had slung garbage bags over their shoulders, and were heading towards the back to toss them out.
“It might not be much, but it’s as good a place as any to start,” he whispered. “Let’s go!”
Subtly slipping past the citizens, he darted around the side of Borg Tower, Zane and Jay on his heels.
He froze in place as the muffled voices of the caretakers came into view. They were close. But not close enough. He needed to get closer if he wanted to be able to listen in.
If only Kai were here. Where was the guy with superhearing when you needed him?
If only they were all here. Cole just wanted them to be safe. He didn’t know what he would do if they found them and one or more of them were already gone.
But now wasn’t the time to think about that. Now, he had a job to do.
“Transform,” he whispered to the others. “You’ll be smaller, and easier to hide that way.”
With a flash, the three boys were gone, and a badger, a labrador, and a falcon stood in their place.
Crouching low to the ground, Cole edged around the corner.
The caretakers were hauling the trash bags into a dumpster a little ways down. Jay dropped down onto his belly and wriggled under the dumpster in front of them, Cole and Zane squeezing under after him, with considerable more difficulty.
“-giving us a lot of trouble,” the voices filtered in as they got within earshot. “I can’t wait until this whole thing is over and done with.”
“Have they gotten any closer with the drug yet?” the male voice asked.
“Somewhat, I think.” A second voice, the female. “They’re gathering a lot of blood from the kid, which seems to be helping, but it still could take up to a week.”
“What about the older ones? What’s he going to do with them?”
“Borg wants to keep them alive, for now, to see if they can give him any clues to where the rest of them are. I’m not so sure, though- they’re both very stubborn. I think they’d rather die than give up any information. Especially the lion one- he doesn’t seem like he’s gonna last much longer. We can hardly get him to eat anything.”
Cole clenched his teeth, biting back the shuddering breath. So they had been right. Borg did have their friends.
And, from the sounds of it, they were running out of time to save them.
“Do you have the key?” The female snapped. “We can’t have anyone breaking in here.”
“Here.” There was a jangle of metal as the padlock was locked, and then footsteps came sharply towards them. Cole shrunk back, watching their feet cautiously as they passed.
“Why would they need to lock a dumpster?” Jay whispered.
Zane’s eyes glinted. “The only logical solution is that there’s something in there they don’t want anyone to see. They must be hiding evidence. We need to see what’s in those garbage bags.”
“Zane, wait-” Cole hissed, but the falcon was already slipping out from under the dumpster where they were hiding, and over to the one the caretakers had put the bags in.
Jay let out a whine, and Cole crept forward, so he could peer out at Zane. The falcon was perched on top of the dumpster, sticking a talon into the lock as he jiggled it. The clanking of metal echoed threateningly through the air.
“Zane, stop,” he begged. “We can’t let them catch us, we have to wait until we know for sure they’re-”
“What the- I knew I heard something back here!”
Cole cringed back, and Jay yelped beside him as the man’s feet came into view. Cole quickly shushed him. The man had only seen Zane. Revealing themselves as well would only make it easier for him to connect the dots about who they were.
“Shoo, pest, shoo!” The man cried, running towards Zane but still keeping a respectable distance from the large bird of prey. Zane squawked, and Cole heard a flutter of feathers that he hoped was Zane flying away.
“What’s going on, Jake-” the woman called, her footsteps hurrying over and halting abruptly. “Holy shit! Is that a falcon?”
Cole cringed. It didn’t take a genius to know that falcons weren’t native to Ninjago City.
“It’s him!” she cried. “The falcon. It has to be! Quick, catch him!”
Cole shuffled forward as the two scuffled after Zane, who was shrieking and squawking as he flapped just above their heads.
C’mon, Zane, get them out of here-
The woman jumped up, catching his wing in her grasp, and yanked, sending a handful of tawny feathers flying. Zane screeched in pain, falling to the ground.
Jay yelped behind him, and before Cole could stop himself, he shot out from under the dumpster, and latched his jaws around the woman’s shoe.
She screamed, attempting to shake him off. “The other one’s here too! It’s got me, it’s got me, get it off!” She kicked, hard, and Cole went tumbling off her foot, right in front of the man, who raised his foot to deliver a kick-
The man stumbled backwards as something jerked at his leg. A yellow lab was sinking his teeth into his pant leg, holding him back. Releasing it, he barked loudly, running circles around the man as he tried to land a hit on the small dog. But Jay was too fast.
On his other side, Zane was struggling to his feet, oblivious of the woman running up behind him. Dashing past the falcon, there was a flash, and suddenly Cole was five feet taller, and punching the woman in the face with very human knuckles. She crumpled to the ground, unconscious.
The man cried out as he tripped over Jay, and before he could blink, the dog was gone, and Jay was pinning him to the ground with a foot.
The man’s face dissolved into panic as Cole approached him. “Please, don’t hurt me, I won’t tell them about you, I promise.”
Cole paused, narrowing his eyes at him.
“Don’t do it, Cole,” Zane urged, now no longer a bird, and sitting on the floor. “He’s lying. He’ll run right back to them and we’ll be captured before the day is up.”
“I swear, I won’t!” the man begged. “I needed this job! I was told it was such a great opportunity, I had no idea what I was getting into! I don’t want to hurt you!”
“Rich that you’re having a change of heart now,” Jay snorted. “You didn’t seem too concerned about us a minute ago.”
“Please, let me go, if they find me here and figure out I let you escape, they’ll kill me! I have a family!”
Cole glanced at the others. Jay looked uncertain. Zane looked angry. “I still say he’s bluffing.”
Cole glanced down at the man. The terror in his eyes was real, that was for sure. Relenting, he breathed out, taking a step back. “That may be so, but we’re not like them. Jay, let him go.”
Jay looked up at him. “Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
Slowly, Jay moved his foot, and the man bolted to his feet. Cole reached out, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt before he could slip away. Pulling him close, Cole gave him the hardest glare he could muster.
“If I let you go, you’re gonna run. Run as far away from here as you possibly can, and never come back. If you rat us out to anyone- anyone, Borg worker or otherwise- I will personally track you down and find you. And I’ve got the best tracker in the whole city on my side, so I won’t fail. Is that clear?”
The man nodded frantically, his eyes wide. His voice came out a squeak. “I swear on my life, I won’t tell a soul.”
“You better not.” And, with barely a beat of hesitation, Cole released him.
The man was gone in the blink of an eye.
“I hope I didn’t just blow it,” he breathed.
“I can’t tell you if that was the right decision or not,” Jay said, “but you were right about one thing. We’re not like them. If he tells anyone, he’s the scum, not you.”
“I know this sounds dumb, but I don’t think he will. I just had… a feeling.”
“Feelings and survival don’t mix,” Zane snapped.
Cole turned to him, where he still sat on the ground. “I’m sorry, buddy, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t do it.”
“I’m not blaming you, I just don’t trust him,” he muttered, pulling his leg closer to his body with a wince.
Debate forgotten, Cole started forward. “Are you okay? Did she hurt you?”
“Just pulled out a few feathers, nothing serious. But I think I landed badly on my ankle.”
Cole crouched down, tracing his fingers along his ankle. Zane flinched back, grimacing.
“Sorry. Does it hurt bad?”
“Yeah. I think it might be sprained.”
“Hey, guys?”
“Not now, Jay. Do you think we could-”
“Guys!” Jay cried. “This isn’t really something that can wait!” Cole glared back at him. “What?”
Jay held up a small, black device. Cole squinted at it, adjusting his glasses. “What’s so important about that?”
“It’s a pager, Cole. It fell out of the caretaker’s pocket. If she used it, there’s probably Borg employees on their way here right now!”
“Shit,” he muttered. “We gotta get out of here.”
“That’s what I’ve been trying to say!”
“Cole, I don’t think I can walk,” Zane admitted. “You two should go without me.”
“Are you out of your mind?” Cole fumed. “We’re family, we don’t leave each other behind!”
“I’ll only slow you down.”
Muffled shouts and harried footsteps came from somewhere nearby. Jay whipped towards them, bouncing on the balls of his feet. “Hurry, guys, they’re coming!”
“Get on my back,” Cole demanded. “Now.”
“What?”
“You heard me. I’m going to carry you. Now, hurry!”
Jay helped Zane to his feet, and his friend slipped his hands around Cole’s neck, wrapping his legs around his waist. He had only just about gotten into place when Cole took off running, Jay on his heels.
The lab hybrid quickly overtook him, sniffing the air and leading them down a maze of alleys and backroads. He glanced back at them, his gaze nervously darting to something behind him. Cole didn’t even dare look back.
“Hurry, Cole! They’re getting closer!” “I’m running as fast as I can,” he huffed, although he forced himself to put on a burst of speed.
“Cole…”
“I swear, Zane, if you ask me to leave you behind one more time, I will punch you in the face.”
Zane fell quiet after that, but Cole could still feel his reluctance.
“Cole, watch out, they’ve got-” Jay’s warning was cut off with a yelp as a net came hurling through the air towards them, snagging Jay’s leg.
“-net launchers!” he finished.
“Jay!” “Don’t stop, don’t stop, I’ll be out in a second-”
Cole gritted his teeth, and kept running, even as he passed him.
“Jay, hurry!”
“I’m here, I’m here,” Jay called a moment later, already at his side again. “But they’re getting closer! This isn’t working!”
“Stop running!” A voice called from behind them, over a megaphone. “You will not evade capture. You are only making the consequences worse for yourself. Give up now, and you will be shown mercy!” “Sorry, but last time Borg showed us ‘mercy,’ we barely escaped with our lives,” Cole retorted.
“They’re right, though,” Jay murmured. “We’re never going to be able to outrun them! We need a new plan.”
“Well, we don’t have another plan.”
“I might have one. Keep running, stick to the left roads, that’ll take you out of town.”
Cole snatched his wrist before he could dart away. “Where do you think you’re going?”
“I’m gonna distract them. Lead them somewhere else so you guys can get away.”
“Will you two stop trying to sacrifice yourself,” Cole growled, “For five minutes?”
“I’m not sacrificing myself! I know these streets. I’m faster and more cunning than either of you. I can get away, if I’m on my own. I have no intention of getting caught, trust me.”
“It’s too risky. We’re not splitting up.”
“But-”
“Cole’s right, Jay. We already are down three members, and it’s going to be a whole lot harder to save them if there’s only two of us left.”
“I told you, I won’t get caught!”
“You can’t promise that,” Cole argued. “You’re staying with us, end of discussion.”
“Then what other plans you got, badger boy?”
Cole didn’t look at him.
“Over there!” Zane pointed. “Down that alley, about one hundred feet down, there’s a path hidden behind those vines.”
“What?” Jay snapped. “No there isn’t!”
“Are you forgetting who has falcon-vision here?” Zane retaliated.
“Just do it,” Cole hissed. “It’s not like we have a wide range of options, here!”
They darted down the alley Zane had pointed them down, and Cole scanned the wall for anything unusual. “Where is it?”
“Keep going,” Jay pressed, “We need to get through it before they round the corner or they’ll just follow us in!”
“Right there!” Zane pointed.
Following his finger, Cole caught sight of a patch of vines, the brick crumbling away behind it.
“Jackpot, Zane!” Cole cheered.
Jay scrambled through first, holding back the vines as Cole maneuvered through more carefully, trying to account for Zane. As soon as they were through, Jay yelped, “Go, go, go!” Cole’s lungs were killing him by this point, but he didn’t hesitate to race after him. He would be stupid to belive they were safe now. Already, he could hear the angry shouts of the Borg security officers behind them, and knew it wouldn’t be long before they found the broken wall.
But it had given them a moment. And, right now, they needed every moment they could get.
“What are… what are we going to do now?” Cole wheezed.
“We can’t keep this up,” Zane frowned, watching him with concern. “You can’t keep running forever. Not even Jay.”
“We need help,” Jay panted. “We can’t do this on our own.”
“Who’s going to help us?” Cole huffed. “We’re alone. Nobody has our backs in this.”
“I don’t know, maybe we can go ask someone. Those are houses over there, right? Maybe someone will agree to hide us.”
“They’ll probably think we’re escaped criminals, bozo. No one’s gonna agree to hide some random fugitive.”
“Well, what other choice do we have?”
“I… may have an idea,” Zane said quietly.
They looked at him expectantly, but he hesitated. “Well?” Jay yipped. “Are you going to tell us, or not?”
“You’re not going to like it… but there is somewhere we could go.”
Jay threw up his hands. “We don’t have time for this Zane, they’re gonna find us any minute! Just get to the point!”
“We could go… to the police.”

always the gentleman: steve rogers
summary: steve rogers x reader. smut!!!!! steve keeps walking in on reader having some alone time, and goddamn it if he doesn’t wish it was him instead of an ann summers toy she’s holding.
word count: 1,900
warnings/tropes: smut, clueless!steve, tease!steve. bucky has a cameo teehee. enjoy!
-
The first time Steve sees you like this, it’s a complete and utter accident.
This meaning shaky breath, hair clung to face, a wild bucking of the hips. This meaning ass up in the air, right hand between your legs, the sweetest friction. This meaning soft mewls, almost sinful, though he was adamant you could never be anything but angelic, celestial, even. 
It’s his own fault, really. Steve knows he can be oblivious, careless. The thought of walking in on you in such a compromising and vulnerable position, bent over in your bed, in your room, had never even so much as made a peep at him before he entered without a knock. Your bed, your room; how many times did he have to remind himself? He should know better, for heaven’s sake. Getting involved with someone at work was sacrilegious, no matter what sector ‘work’ regarded. Office romances always ended badly - why should the Avengers Compound get off any easier? ‘Involved’ is a loose word for it, now that he reconsiders. He can’t be ‘involved’ with someone he has only touched in his dreams, really, truly touched like he craved with the girl who left stains on every inch of his brain since the day he met her.
It’s a miracle he has enough sense to remain still, like the carved statue he is, and painfully quiet. Steve aches everywhere; his hands, yearning to reach out and touch you; his legs, eager to step forward; his dick, aching with relentless throbs that snake all the way up his spine, prick his ears and bloom a tender blush on his cheeks. 
It’s a miracle you aren’t privy to his heart, thunderous in his chest, surely visibly protruding from his t-shirt. Golden rings still on your long, slender fingers, glistening in the sunlight poking through your open window. Wait - open window? Don’t you know somebody could see you? Not any neighbours this high up in the building, granted, but somebody? Drones aren’t hard to come by these days, he scolds you internally. And he realises in the boyish, clueless way he’s still prone to that he is that somebody watching you. He wants to leave, knows he should, but he cannot, for the life of him, tear himself away from this. From you. So beautiful, he can hardly stand it. How delicious you must taste in his hungry, greedy mouth; how gorgeous you must look above him, below him, whichever way you wanted; how sickeningly sweet you must feel clenching around him. He’s sweating, poor boy, almost as much as you are -  small, wet tell-tales of exertion on the armpits of your crop top as you work yourself closer to coming. Your legs tremble, tanned against the pale eggshell sheets strewn across the bed, bottom lip harshly bitten into. A hiss of pleasure, a high-pitched intake of breath, one last curl of your fingers and you are undone. 
It’s a miracle he finally regains control of his limbs, silently leaping out of view back out into the corridor before you turn your head towards the door, frowning, swearing you had closed it. Only a few metres apart, a goddamn-cockblocking-son-of-a-bitch wall separating you, both figures shudder and sigh blissfully. Fucked out on your bed, sensitive, you carefully draw your fingers into your folds one last time, curiously observing the milky liquid of your come, and bring it up to your mouth, moaning at the pleasant taste. 
Steve is about to leave, actually leave this time, he means it, when he hears it.
“Mmm,” a sensuous moan, almost guttural. He swears his dick has never been this hard, never wanted to pop out of his jeans so much. That is, however, until: “Steve…” 
Shit. Shit. Shit. You couldn’t have seen him, surely? A quick whip of his head to the door reveals he has escaped a lifetime of embarrassment; no sign of you. Still fucked out on your bed. But if you hadn’t heard him, then - oh. And there it was, the biggest, thickest erection of his life, and all he could do was tuck his dick into the waistband of his boxers (Calvin Kleins, after he had heard you swooning over the Mark Wahlberg and Kate Moss campaign from the 90s), and traipse sullenly to his own room. Steve felt like a teenage boy caught looking through his father’s Playboy, indignant, yet secretly proud of having found the Playboy in the first place. 
With a sigh, embarrassed, shameful and utterly, utterly horny, Steve turns back towards your door and closes it for good, polite measure once he hears the shower turn on. Always the gentleman.
-
The second time Steve sees you like this, he tells himself it’s another accident, that he just happened to be on the wrong (right) floor at the wrong (right) time. 
Looking for Bucky is an innocent act. Why his friend, more like life companion, really, would even be on this floor is beyond him, but Steve pulls out his phone and taps on Bucky’s contact. He’s wandering the floor, from one corridor to the next, when he hears a light buzzing to the east of the building. Goddamn Bucky left his goddamn phone lying around again. Goddamn it. 
He draws closer, and though his mind is slow to catch up, rusty with these lustful theatrics, the most primal part of him senses the situation immediately. The buzzing is louder now, more akin to a gentle rumble, and his dick twitches. Here he is again, outside that door. Only now, he doesn’t have to turn the handle to open it; it’s already ajar. 
Is he a narcissist for thinking you left it open for him, just him, so he could see and hear you again? 
One peek. Only one, quick peek and that’s it, Rogers, I mean it. And he does, truly - but he had also meant not to be presented with the sight before him again, meant not to drift his hand towards his own centre, for lack of a better word. It really felt like his centre - his dick, he means; everything revolves around that goddamn thing lately. He’s hard, palming himself and trying not to have his mother’s shrill voice in his head, yelling at him to stop being a pervert and pull himself together. 
But he can’t, and he’s petulant towards this fact. He can’t, not when you have never looked quite so riled up. Eyes rolled to the back of your head, mouth gaped open in a silent scream, thighs trembling. Small hands forcefully wrapped around a pink vibrator - a rabbit, he thinks they call this particular type - that gets slightly twirled around until you find the right spot. You come much quicker than when using just your fingers, practically writhing around as if you’re being electrocuted. This vulnerability is insanely captivating, Steve notes, this openness. Whenever he jerks off, in the shower, in his bed with a condom (a posh wank, you had called the concept once), he does so quietly, stealthily, still coy and afraid of someone hearing him. Suddenly, there’s nothing he wants more than to have the whole Compound hearing his name slipping from your cherry lips, echoing through the glass and metal. Just the mere thought drives him crazy, hand down his jeans to touch himself properly when you come for a second time, harsher, more sustained and by God, there it is again:
“Oh, Steve… fuuuuck.”
The deliciousness of this barely has time to register before he feels the familiar release of his own orgasm. Right in his jeans. Goddamn it all to hell. 
He’s lucky they’re a deep blue, almost black, so he can walk to his room without arousing much suspicion. It’s wildly uncomfortable, and more than a little gross, but he’ll take what he can get. 
“Hey - you rang?” 
Fuck off Bucky, I swear to God.
“Uh, sorry. Butt-dial,” Steve offers, shuffling awkwardly, trying to get past his miscreant of a friend as quickly as possible.
Bucky raises an eyebrow in question, but decides to let it go. Many years together have taught him to keep to his own business unless Steve asked for help himself, or was otherwise unconscious and covered in blood.
“Alright… I’ll be upstairs if you need me. Wanna show Y/N this new album I’ve been listeni-”
Steve storms off. Always the gentleman.
-
The third time Steve sees you like this, eyes cloudy with lust, squeezing your thighs together for some, any, kind of relief, it is by no means an accident. 
Grey joggers cover his bottom half, his chest bare and t-shirt discarded in a crumpled up mess next to him. He doesn’t know what has come over him, this sudden bravery to practically gallivant his penis in your face as you try to concentrate on the TV, gripping the nunchucks much harder than usual. Wants to test you, he supposes, confirm his suspicions. He’s hopeful, and he has every right to be.
You’re not the best driver as it is, never mind that this is Mario Kart, but the willpower it takes to keep your eyes on the screen is inhuman. Every other second, though, your vision flits towards his groin, mentally tracing the outline of his dick. He’s big, of course, even when flaccid. Your mouth waters involuntary at the conjured up image of him at his full hardness, lining himself up just before his head enters you. 
“Stupid fucking-” you grunt, hitting random buttons in vain as your character is knocked off the track and falls into the water. 
Groaning at your new sixth position (you were just second, for crying out loud), you glance at Steve, who is smirking at you already, having just pushed himself into first place and finishing the track. 
“Language!” He laughs, a big, boisterous sound that makes you nervous. You loved making him laugh - your favourite pastime. Aside from making him come in his jeans outside your door, of course. 
“Funny you should say that,” you begin, tongue wetting your bottom lip anxiously. Come on, Y/N, time for you to be brave now.
“Oh?” 
“You weren’t telling me off for swearing yesterday.”
Silly Steve, it takes him a moment to process the comment. You take the opportunity, can see his cogs turning, to stand up in front of him. And you peep at his joggers, too, but who can blame you?
“… Oh.”
You hold out a hand, shaking almost imperceptibly, inviting, tempting him. “You coming, Captain?”
He’s too far gone to even try to resist, and his hand feels so… so homely wrapped around yours. You reach the door of the games room and before you can pull it open to scurry upstairs, Steve releases your hand and pries the door open himself. 
“After you, doll.”
You know he does this just so he can look at your bum as you walk up the stairs, so you roll your eyes to the heavens, and he smirks again, his brain working faster now and picturing you rolling your eyes in a different, imminent way. 
Steve has been raised right, of course, would never dream of letting a girl, especially his girl, walk through a door without opening it for her first. That’s what he tells himself, at least. Totally not so he can check you out. Always the gentleman.

F Like a Pornstar
Pairing: Angel Reyes x black!reader
Summary: Angel finds out a little secret about you.
Warnings: Smut
A/N: My rewatch of Mayans helped me come up with this idea.
Lightly edited, so sorry for any mistakes
Tumblr media
Too caught up running after your sister, you didn’t pay attention to the motorcycles in front of the house. Kyle stormed into the house, yelled her husband’s name, and ran up the stairs.
“Y/N.” You heard a familiar voice call you, halting your journey. Turning around you saw your boyfriend crooking his finger telling you to come here.
“Baby!” Your whole demeanor changed when you saw Angel. As you made a beeline to him you greeted the other Mayans. Looked like the whole crew was here.
Right when you were in arm’s reach, Angel hugged you and kissed your shoulder, that earned him a bunch of joking ‘awwws’ from his brothers.
Angel flipped them all off. He didn’t care what they think as long as he has you. “What are you doing here?” He asked, confused at how you ended up at a whore house.
You explained to him how you and Kyle were out for drinks when she decided she wanted to see where her no-good husband was. The Find My app led you to Vicki’s and now you were pretty sure that Kyle’s husband was about be murdered.
“Damn, Vic, you gonna let her kill her husband?” Coco asked, turning his attention away from the girl in his lap.
Vicki assured everyone that Kyle wasn’t gonna kill him. Apparently, this happens all the time and its good entertainment for Vicki and the girls. Plus, she just charged your douchebag brother-in-law extra.
Someone else called your name, but this time it was a woman. In her black kimono and matching black lingerie came Mimi running towards you. “Y/N!!! OMG, girl you look good.” She juggled your boobs.
Angel took in your outfit in its totality and he agreed with Mimi. You looked good, a little too good for his taste. You wore a burnt orange top that crossed in the front, which showed off a generous amount of cleavage, light washed ripped blue jeans hugging your ass, brown heels showing off those pretty white toes Angel wanted to suck, and Fenty Gloss Bomb and Body Lava to top it off. He can’t believe you went out like that without him.
“She’s right, mi dulce. You look fucking sexy, wait til we get home.” Angel smacked your ass and nibbled on your ear.
An unimpressed grunt was heard across the room. “I doubt she can pleasure him.” A short blonde told another girl.
This wasn’t unusual. Angel being a Mayan and extremely attractive made other girls jealous of you and disrespectful. Early on you used to jack them up, but eventually you learned to ignore them especially since Angel proved he only had eyes for you.
“Don’t do my friend like that! Remember Vegas, Y/N?” Mimi came to your defense.
As you remembered that weekend, a smile crept on your face. That was one wild ass weekend.
“What happened in Vegas,” EZ asked, noticing your smile.
“Old same old same old,” Mimi answered. “Partying, drinking, gambling. But then we got invited to this sex club and Ms. Thang over there had sex with a pornstar.”
All the men in the room were interested now. It was no secret that you were wild child, but they didn’t expect that.
“Who was she?” Eagerness laced Angel’s voice.
You were about to lie. Angel didn’t need to know all the sordid details, but Mimi had to open her big mouth. “She?! No, she got to fuck the Manuel Ferrera.”
Desperately, you tried to get Mimi to shut up, but she wouldn’t. “Remember he said you were the best he ever had? Didn’t he get your number?” You confirmed her guess with a slight nod. “My girl got the shit that yanks!” Mimi bragged as if she was talking about herself.
At this point you could’ve burst into flames by how hot your face was. You could feel Angel staring holes in your head and the bemused faces on the other Mayans didn’t help.
“He was aight. Nothing to write home about.” You tried to calm the storm brewing in Angel, but once again Hurricane Mimi blew in.
“Just okay?! Girl, you couldn’t shut up about the dick the whole way home! Best dick of your life! Didn’t you cal-” Mimi was about to go on, but she finally caught the look on your face. “Um, I think I heard a customer,” Mimi pointed to the stairs. “Imma catch you later.”
“Best dick of your life, huh?” Coco took a drag of his cigarette and smirked. He loved giving you shit.
Angel looked at you expectantly, but you kept your mouth shut. This was a discussion better for home.
“Okay, then.” Angel spoke to himself then threw you over his shoulder. “Let’s see if he’s still the best.”
An inhuman screech came out your mouth as you called Angel’s name. “You can’t do this here! Vicki has money to make, she can’t be wasting it on us!”
Gilly pulled out his wallet and gave Vicki a couple of hundreds, for which Angel thanked him and promised to pay him back.
“Fuck you, Gilly!” You double flipped off said man as Angel went up the stairs.
Gilly toasted his beer to you. “Looks like Angel already about to beat me to the punch!”
An eruption of laughter broke out as Angel continued up the stairs. On the first try, he found an empty bedroom and threw you on the bed.
“Aw c’mon Angel, you can’t be that upset about a guy I messed around with before you. Anyway, I’m the one who should be upset. You’re the one at a brothel!”
“We’re checking on Creep.” Angel began undressing himself. He knew your brain always short-circuits when he takes off his clothes.
“Well, he uh he looks fine to me. Let’s finish this at home.” Angel pulled you off the bed and stood behind you. You could feel his hardened length against your back.
His fingers expertly unbuttoned your jeans and he went straight for your clit, rubbing small circles. “Angel,” you cried out in ecstasy.
Licking your hand, you reached behind you and started stroking Angel. “Fuck, querida.” Angel groaned, leaning his head back. “See, you don’t wanna stop, sweetheart. I think you wanna show that little puta down there that you can more than enough please your man.”
“5 minutes.”
“I knew your ego couldn’t handle being challenged.” Angel undressed you and pushed you back to the bed. “Would you have even agreed if she didn’t run her mouth?”
“I’ll never tell.” You pretended to zip up your mouth and throw away the key, but Angel knew exactly how to get you to open your mouth. Without warning he slid into you and the both of you moaned.
Angel leaned in closer to you. “Shit, Y/N, it may be less than five minutes by the way you’re gripping me.” His pace started off slow, but he couldn’t help to pick it up. When y’all got home, Angel planned to take his time, explore your body, tease you, and slowly make love to you, but right now wasn’t the time. He had a point to prove. You had a point to prove.
“Whose pretty pussy is this?” Angel slipped his hand between the two of you and rubbed on your clit.
“Yours,” you whimpered against Angel’s lips.
“Mmm, that wasn’t loud enough. Try again.” Angel pushed your legs back until your ankles were by your ears.
His dick went deeper than before, so deep that you could feel him in your stomach. “It’s yours,” you screamed at the top of your lungs, your nails marking up his back.
“Damn right, mi dulce! I better not hear about that man ever again; do you understand me?”
You brought your lips up to Angel. “Yes, now make me cum!” You ordered against his ears.
Angel smiled against your cheek and gave you a sweet kiss. “Yes ma’am.” But that kiss was completely different by the way he was pounding into you. Angel’s thrusts were becoming erratic, letting you know he would be coming right along with you.
Soon, the both of you were yelling out each other’s name in euphoria with a string of curse words followed by some heavy panting and a little laughter at the current situation you were in.
Finally dressed, you checked yourself in the mirror to make sure that nothing was out of place. “Angel, I swear if you sweated out my blowout, you’re paying for the next one.” You tried your best to slick down some of your fly-aways.
Angel buckled up his belt as he came to stand behind you. “I told you not to get it, but no you just had to. I should let your little spoiled ass look crazy.”
Facing him with a mega-watt smile you slid your arms around his waist. “So, that means you’ll get it?”
Rolling his eyes, Angel to agree to paying for the next blowout. “Spoiled ass,” he mumbled when y’all exited the room.
Another door opened as soon as y’alls did, revealing an old white guy with thinning hair and beer belly. “How much for her?” He asked, his eyes unashamedly raking over your body. In no time, Angel pulled out his gun and told the disgusting man that you weren’t for sell, making the dude scurry back into his room.
As the two you were laughing down the stairs, you heard Kyle tell Lance she wanted a divorce. “What? What do you mean you want a divorce? Just because you heard your sister get fucked like the biker whore she is, you want to leave me? Me? Pathetic.” Venom was dripping from Lance’s tongue and you were about to knock him out like you did the first time you found out he cheated on Kyle, but Angel stopped you.
All of the Mayans perked up and immediately were on the defense. “Watch your mouth before we have to do something about it.” Bishop ordered the prick. Lance may be oblivious and unappreciative, but he wasn’t a total idiot. In a hurry, he left Vicki’s before he got his ass beat.
It was quiet for a little bit after Lance left in a rush until you spoke up. “So, all I had to do was let you listen to me have sex and that’s what would’ve got you to leave his lame ass?! Bitch I would’ve done that a long time ago!”
Kyle waved off your silliness even if it was true. Albeit repulsive to hear her baby sister to get her back broke, it awakened something in her. Never in her entire ten years with Lance had she known pleasure like that. And then to see Angel doting on you just after it sounded like y’all have the nastiest sex made her want more.
“First order of business: get you some new dick! Gilly? EZ? Coco?” You were arranging the men like a buffet table. EZ was mortified, Gilly had the sense to pretend to, and Coco looked like he was up for game.
“Y/N,” she sighed at your fast attempt to get her a rebound. “Not now. Anyway, can I drive your car back home? I planned on riding back with Lance, but that’s obviously not happening.”
Angel dug in your back pocket and threw the keys to Kyle. “Here you go. I’ll get her home safely.” You gave Kyle a hug goodbye and you promised to bust Lance’s kneecaps if he tried to do any fuck shit.
For a couple of more minutes you and Angel stay behind to check on Creep and say your goodbyes. When you hugged Mimi, the snooty blonde was near her and she still seemed pissed off that you managed to bag Angel. “Next time,” you fluffed her hair ad if you were friends. “Try another bitch because I’m not the one, two, or three.” You patted her shoulders and gave her ‘I’ll kill you bitch’ smile.
Angel started to guide you towards the door before you can do any damage to the girl. Once you got to the front door threshold you stopped and turned to the girl. “Oh, if what you heard earlier wasn’t proof that my shit yanks, maybe I’ll invite you to watch and you may get some pointers.” You stuck out your tongue and twerked on Angel to the music in your head.
Mimi pointed a perfectly manicured finger at you and screamed, “HELL MOTHERFUCKIN’ YEAH! MY GIRL SHIT YANKS!” Everyone either shook their head at your antics or broke out in laughter, except stanky ass attitude girl.
Now Angel needed to get you home asap. He smacked your ass to push you out the door. “Yo, you into that exhibitionism shit?” By the way he asked and the look on his face, you knew he was hoping for a yes.
“Only if you also allow another man to watch.”
“Fuck no!” Angel strapped in your helmet a little too tight due to his little outburst of jealous.  You cackled as you hopped on the back of bike. Bet, he won’t ask another stupid question like that again.
