Taking Care
Tumblr media
Pairing: (Raymond x Fem!Reader)
Word Count: 1.3k
Warning(s): Cursing,Mild Violence, and Mention of Drugs
Summary: Request submitted by @mint-opal​ : I’m very very very here for some Raymond taking care of his femme lover (and maybe some kids but thats your choice!!) and him being gentle and stern and soft but tough :(
__________
“I told you to stay out of it,” Raymond huffed as he placed you on the island of your kitchen.
“And I told you not to do dangerous stuff without me,” You tried to joke as he retreated to the guest bathroom for the first-aid kit and a rag.
To make a long story short. Raymond had been telling you about a revival business disbursing harmful marijuana under Mickey's name. Raymond being Mickey's right hand was in charge of handling the situation. Your husband was supposed to threaten them, shake them up a bit nothing more, nothing less.
You decided to show up knowing you could be very persuasive and threatening when need be, after getting your kids a babysitter of course. There was never supposed to be any physical altercations. However, when things went south, fists went flying, including one to your face.
“It’s my job,” Raymond replied, returning to the kitchen.
“It was mine too,” You countered.
“But what did we agree on, huh? We agreed that...” Your husband started, but you cut him off. “Agreed? The minute I got pregnant, you basically put me on house arrest."
"For good reason," He mumbled before leaving the kitchen once again. Raymond quickly returned with a frozen steak in hand. "Here," He said lightly, shoving the cold meat into your awaiting hand.
"Wagyu, nice," You mentioned, lifting the meat in cheers before placing it on your quickly bruising eye.
Raymond shook his head at your humor, opening the first aid kit in the process. He began to pull out all the things he would need to clean up the cuts on your lip and eyebrow.
"Are you alright, mommy?" a sudden voice called out, startling you a bit. You looked past your husband to see your four old daughter walk into the room.
Raymond turned to your daughter and then back to you. He placed his muscular arms against the counter, giving a heavy sigh. Raymond never wanted your children to see either of you in such a state, especially at such a young age.
"I thought they were supposed to be at the park," Raymond whispered, ensuring your questioning child could not hear.
"I thought so too, they must've come back early," You whispered in response before turning back to your small daughter and replying. "I'm alright, sweetheart; thank you for asking."
Your daughter made her way further into the kitchen close enough to lean against her father's leg and up at you. "Daddy, is she really okay? You know she sometimes fibs," Your daughter remarked, giving the best skeptical face she could as she looked to her father. Her response confused you a bit, did you lie that often?
"Yes, sweetie mommy is fine, now run along and play with your brother,"
"But daddy, he has germs!" Your daughter protested.
"I do not!" You heard your son's voice shout as he, along with their long time babysitter, entered the kitchen.
"My apologies, we had to return early from the park because he fell ill," the babysitter explained. You looked to your son with a weak smile as you noticed his clothes now held a stain down the front of his shirt.
"Was it the seesaw again?" You questioned your son. He gave a meek nod of his head in reply.
Raymond made his way over to your son, getting on his knee so that they would be about the same height.
"Well, that's alright. We just have to learn from this. Isn't that right, buddy?" Raymond asked your son, ruffling his head of hair in the process. The small boy once again nodded.
Your husband stood and looked to your babysitter. "Could you get these two cleaned up, please?"
"Of course, come along, miss," said the babysitter, reaching a free hand out to your daughter.
"Fine," the small girl muttered, not wanting to join the babysitter.
Once the room was back down to you and Raymond, you could relax a bit. Before you were holding back little winces and surges of pain that ran through your body.
"Let's get you cleaned up as well," Raymond said, finally beginning the process of tending to your wounds. He went to the sink, wetting the rag to rid your cuts and face of the little blood that stained it.
He lightly placed the rag against your cut lip, causing you to wince a bit. Raymond looked up from your lips to meet your eyes once he noticed the small movement. He realized you had removed the steak from your now very bruised and swollen eye unintentionally when talking to your children. Your husband pushed the meat to your eye with his free hand, causing you to chuckle a bit.
"I don't see what's so funny," Raymond commented sternly.
"Come on, Ray; there is a slab of steak covering my face. That's pretty funny if you ask me," You jested, trying to make light of the situation. You hated seeing Raymond in such a mood.
"Well, I didn't, and that steak is only there because you went and got yourself hurt."
"I was trying to help," You tried to reason.
"And look at you now," Your husband retorted, removing the rag from your lip. He took it back to the sink to rid it of your blood.
"You should see the other guy," You quipped, making yourself chuckle. The statement was truthful, though. Yeah, the asshole got a nice hit on you, but you returned it tenfold. You wouldn't be surprised if he were in the hospital at that very moment. Unfortunately, Raymond did not find it as funny as you.
"This isn't a joke, Y/N!" Raymond shouted, throwing the damp rag into the sink.
His outburst made you shrink on the spot. You two rarely shouted at each other, but when you did, you knew it was serious. You knew you were in the wrong here. It was no time to joke, but honestly, that's how you dealt with bad situations sometimes.
The room was now silent, you being too unsure to say anything, and Ray still being too angry to talk with you without yelling. Raymond heavily sighed, picking up the discarded rag, wringing it out and bringing it back over to you. He placed the cloth along your brow, just above where you held the defrosting wagyu beef.
After a minute of dabbing your brow and wiping it of now drying blood, he spoke."Look, I'm sorry I just don't want you getting hurt, love."
"I'm a big girl Raymond."
"Yeah, but you're still my girl," Raymond said, dropping the cloth to the counter and wrapping his arms around you in a tight embrace. "And I don't know what I would do if you weren't in my life, in our kid's life."
"You can't think like that," you said, finding comfort in playing with the hair on the nape of his neck.
"How can I not when you put yourself in harms way like that," Raymond contradicted, lessening his grip on you to look you in the eye
"Well, how do you think I feel when you do the same thing?"You questioned the hypocritical man. Raymond said nothing; he knew you were right. He couldn't be too mad at you getting yourself in a bad situation when he did it everyday.
"Please don't fight me on this, I just want my family safe," Raymond basically pleaded. He didn't have much of an argument, but the one he gave was damn strong.
You could argue that you wanted him safe too, but there was no point. Raymond had been in the business for years, even before you. He knew what he was doing; you just had to hope his years of work prepared him for any dangerous situation.
You took a moment to think it all out and finally settled on a decision."Fine, but you owe me a cooked steak," You said, wagging the wagyu in your husband's face. He actually chuckled at this joke, but it may be because he knew how you would keep yourself safe for him and your kids.
"Deal," Raymond replied, giving a kiss to your lips, being sure to avoid the cut that was there.
__________
A/N: Thank you all so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I absolutely loved this movie and Raymond was probably my favorite character. Thanks again to @mint-opal​ for requesting this imagine. Requests are still open so if you have any ideas you can send them my way. Feel free to let me know what you guys think!
Lots of Love <3

Yes,Hi! Prompt for radmond! Lord Boxman finding out about it and being actually accepting it? (And may/or may not threaten Rad) u dont if u dont want to!
(i have too much fun with this oml thank you)
Lord Boxman grumbled and griped to nobody, waiting impatiently for his newest creation to get to his office. He’d sent Raymond out on a solo mission, one that should’ve taken a marvelous machine like himself a half hour tops. Instead, the robot had been gone for almost two hours, and even though it went against the average villain’s evil protocol, Lord Boxman found himself feeling quite worried for his creation. After all, Raymond was basically the baby of his dysfunctional little family, so he was allowed to feel emotions besides anger, frustration, and pride towards him!
He perked up when the door to his office slid open, the soft sound of smooth metal gliding on metal oddly comforting to his ears. In true villain fashion, Lord Boxman made himself wait a few moments before he slowly spun his chair around. He even managed to get it to stop before it spun too far to the left this time, so the motion was actually intimidating for once! He had been preparing his best glare for this moment, and oh if looks could kill… Well, realistically if they could kill, he would just be stuck having to repair a busted robot, now wouldn’t he?
He didn’t speak, instead allowing the silence to stretch to the point that it became uncomfortable for the both of them. Raymond’s face was schooled into a cool, calm mask of indifference, but Lord Boxman knew him better than that. He let out a long sigh, suddenly feeling incredibly tired. His son had failed the mission, otherwise, he would’ve been bragging and patting himself on the back the moment he walked through the door. The overworked dad settled deeper into his chair and simply motioned for Raymond to speak.
“Coach Box Dad, I swear I can explain why I’m late!”, he began, an edge of panic working its way into his normally haughty voice. Lord Boxman merely raised an eyebrow, silently prompting him to continue. Raymond began pacing nervously, words spilling forth from his mouth like water from a spring. “I just… I couldn’t, Coach Box Dad! I couldn’t come home and… And make you even more disappointed in me than you already are!”, he said, his voice rising to a shout before it cracked. Lord Boxman was confused, to say the least. However, before he was able to interject, Raymond continued hastily, “And don’t say you aren’t! Because… Because I just know you are! I’ve failed you again, Coach Box Dad… And it isn’t just because I lost some fight with the Bodega Babies either…”
“Raymond, you need to pull yourself together.”, Lord Boxman demanded gruffly, somehow managing to keep his volume under control. He stood from his chair, walking over to his son quickly. Raymond’s eyes were trained on his shoes, and Lord Boxman was surprised to find out that the artificial lacrimal ducts he’d installed at the last minute were fully functional. He wasn’t sure of what to do now, Shannon and Darrel had never seemed to require much more than a pat on the head to keep them emotionally content. Raymond was so much more intricate, his mechanical heart seemed to swell and ache just as much as his own flesh and blood heart did.
“I cannot fight them any longer, Father…”, Raymond admitted softly. Oh, there went his poor flesh and blood heart! Father was a name he’d never been called, even Darrel stuck with Dad. Lord Boxman reacted automatically, without giving his next action any thought. He reached forward and pulled his youngest son into the best hug he could manage. It was probably horribly awkward, considering he had given maybe three hugs in his lifetime, and considering the height difference between the two of them. Despite that, Raymond acted as if this was the epitome of affection, the most important hug he would ever receive in his lifetime. And hell, maybe it was.
“Raymond, I will be /damned/ if I ever hear you talking about yourself that way again.”, Lord Boxman murmured, giving his robot baby one pat on the back before he pulled away from the hug. His face was an odd mixture of concerned and stern, that trademark dad face when they wanted to make a point and fix whatever was broken. “You are easily the most incredible machine I have ever created. You are far from disappointing, my boy. Quite the contrary, really. Your flair in battle has always impressed me, and your knack for puns! Why, what kind of father would I be if I wasn’t proud of your puns?”, he added, feeling a not so foreign surge of warmth in his chest at the slight smile that tugged at his son’s lips.
“I’m… I’m sorry Father… Clearly, it is insulting to the both of us should I decide to insult myself.”, Raymond joked, getting a bit of his normal energy back. He stood taller, a ghost of his confidence returning. Lord Boxman let out a short bark of laughter, nodding in agreement.
“Now tell me, my dear boy… What exactly has you so riled today? Might I assume it was whatever made you late, or would that be too presumptuous?”, he asked, taking a seat once more. The nervous look on Raymond’s face told him he’d really need to sit down for a bit anyway, and he took a deep breath to mentally prepare for whatever was to come.
“… I have… a boyfriend.”, Raymond finally stated dramatically. Lord Boxman had to pinch himself very roughly in order to hold back his hysterical laughter. Was this what his youngest had been so worried about? What sort of father would he be if the simple news that his son had found someone to be happy with were to upset him? Why, he was a villain, not a monster! “And… It’s Radicles! Oh my god I’m dating my nemesis and it’s all his fault because he was the one who just HAD to tango with me at prom and-”, Raymond began, his flustered rambling fading away as the shock set in for Lord Boxman.
When on earth did Raymond go to a prom? And since when was he into egotistical, over the top, stubborn- … Well, that one was self-explanatory actually. The stupefied dad eventually tuned back in, barely catching the end of Raymond’s rant about the blue alien who apparently was the worst hero since he stole his heart. Lord Boxman sagged against his chair heavily, feeling a vicious migraine begin to pound like someone was taking several tiny jackhammers and going at his poor, poor skull.
“Raymond, please tell me you’re happy with this… Hero.”, he said, hesitating before he spat the word out. A villain with a hero was practically unheard of in this day and age! Sure, things were a lot better now than they were, say, 50 years ago, but there was still a negative association with those kinds of relationships. Plenty of heroes assumed that the villain would try to corrupt their partner, and drag them down to their own level. Villains had similar convictions, merely in reverse. Many were disgusted at the idea of some hero trying to “purify” one of their own, and yank them up to their own level.
Lord Boxman was pulled from his thoughts by a long, content sigh. Raymond had a slightly dopey look on his face, a gentle flush covering his face. He didn’t need to say anything because Lord Boxman just knew. This was who his son was, and this was who made his son happy. He’d either have to accept that and allow Radicles into his family or reject him and possibly risk losing his youngest son. The choice was simple, at least it was simple to him. He pulled out the next batch of evil plans he had readied that involved the Bodega Babies, as Shannon and Darrel liked to call them. With a dramatic flourish, the plans were tossed into a lit fireplace.
The two watched them burn, a tension that they had never fully been aware of melting away as the fire crackled and popped. The tension was instead replaced with a comfortable silence, and after a few moments, Raymond took his leave. The door whooshed open and shut seconds later. Now left alone with his thoughts, Lord Boxman decided to work on one last “evil” plan. Well, at least the last evil one to involve any of the Bodega Babies. He sat down at his desk and pulled out a few blueprints, a sly grin spreading across his face slowly as he became absorbed in his work…
~This timeskip of seven hours is brought to you by Radicles in a grass skirt and a coconut bra~
Lord Boxman examined his nails with a noted lack of interest, waiting patiently for his plan to come to fruition. The disguise he wore wasn’t the most enjoyable to don, but it was the most practical. Just because his son was dating a hero didn’t mean his father still wasn’t widely feared and hated. He was a realist, not an optimist. The disguise did its job at least, even if it was itchy as all get out. None of the Bodega Babies had recognized him yet, although the small one did seem to be trailing after him… He dared to glance over his shoulder, glad to see that the kid had finally gone somewhere else.
This feeling was only temporary, however, since Lord Boxman took exactly half a step before he ran into the very subject he was looking for. He looked up at the blue alien, surprised by how calm he felt. A voice that was nothing like his own inquired about a product he knew they didn’t have out front, and he found himself being led into the back room so he could retrieve it. The second the door shut, however, he had Radicles pinned against the closest wall. Despite his short, squat stature, he was still stronger than the hero. After all, Radicles was merely level two, while he was level -10. It was simple math, really.
“Dude, what the heck is your damage?”, Radicles griped, trying to squirm out of his hold. His eyes widened when the disguise shifted, revealing Lord Boxman in all his evil glory. “You’re… Wearing a disguise to sneak into Mr. Gar’s store now? Dude, this is a new low, even for you.”, he taunted, smirking at the shorter man. Lord Boxman didn’t even grant that petty jab a response with proper words. He simply laughed lowly, the sound menacing as it echoed and bounced off the walls of the large room. “Alright, stop being such a creep and get on with… Whatever it is that you’re doing here!”, Radicles snapped, trying to cover up his growing fear with annoyance.
“Oh my dear, simple Radicles… You’ve no idea what’s going on?”, Lord Boxman asked, batting his eyelashes innocently. He dropped Radicles to the ground, ignoring his little sound of surprise as he began pacing. “I have recently come across some very interesting information… Information regarding you and my dearest, youngest son, Raymond…”, he continued, trailing off as he glanced down at Radicles. Now the fear couldn’t be hidden and was displayed openly across the alien’s face. “Ah, you know what I speak of, don’t you? Well, let me make one thing clear, my boy…”, Lord Boxman said. He leaned down, his smile horrifyingly wide and sickeningly sweet.
“If you ever hurt my son… Then you will see just how much I’ve been holding back, young Radicles. You fear Mr. Gar and the immense power he holds compared to you, yet you seem to forget my own level. While Mr. Gar is level 11 and I am only level -10, keep this fact in mind. His power is limited by his heroic oath, and his ultimate promise to use the power he has for good. Mine… Well, my villainous oath encourages using my power to injure, to maim, to scar both physically and psychologically…”, Lord Boxman explained, glaring down at Radicles a moment before he pulled him back up to his feet.
“Now, do me a favor, and never mention this to Raymond. He’d be quite embarrassed if he knew I made a special trip just to rough up his boyfriend.”, he said, taking a moment to dust Radicles off before he switched his disguise back on. He left promptly after that, leaving Radicles alone in his stupor. Eventually, a little grin crept across his face. He would definitely tell Raymond about this, and he would definitely enjoy how thoroughly embarrassed Lord Boxman would be when Raymond launched into theatrics over this. He could practically hear him now, crying about how his father cared so much about him to threaten bodily harm to his boyfriend.
“Wonder if this means I gotta get him something for his birthday now…”, Radicles mumbled, making his way back to the front of the store. What the heck was he supposed to buy for an evil dad anyway? … There was probably a website dedicated to villain dad mugs or something… Did Lord Boxman like coffee? Radicles went about his day fairly normally, although his phone search history now had weird stuff like “#1 worst dad shirt” and “gayest villain (besides my husband)”.
(yeah my brain thought of evil dad accessories and then evil gay dad accessories so whoops enjoy pls)

Iron Horse Girl, or How Submas Got My Groove Back - an accidental essay
In 1989, two young parents had their first child. Her brother wouldn’t be born for another four and a half years. She was an odd little girl, not speaking until she could form the full sentence “What’s that?” (usually accompanied by pointing at something), but she showed signs of taking after her parents - she loved to read, she loved to learn, and she loved and was gentle with animals.
And like her father, she loved trains.
Tumblr media
She had an engineer hat with her name on it. It was her pride and joy. When she was 3 or so and visiting Strasburg, Pennsylvania, her first real-life experience with steam locomotives, a boy around her age asked her at the playground at Groff’s Grove why she was wearing “a boy’s hat.” She told him that anyone could wear it and left.
The little girl grew a bit older, and she always looked forward to her family’s annual trips to the Strasburg Rail Road. She fell in love with the GG1, the Pennsylvania Railroad’s remarkable electric locomotive of the 1930s, perhaps in part because she related to it - like her, it was unusual, an oddball, but it persevered. The GG1 was still in use in the 1980s, the decade the little girl was born. She never saw one in action - she was a bit too young - but something about it stayed with her, and the engineer hat with her name on it soon had a GG1 pin on it and a GG1 was added to her dad’s collection of HO scale model trains. The model was hers.
In particular, she was fond of the prototype GG1, nicknamed ‘Old Rivets’ because it lacked the Raymond Loewy streamlining all other GG1s would have, because she would see it in Strasburg at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania every year.
Tumblr media
(photo source)
Rivets was an oddball amongst oddballs, and she felt drawn to it.
One of those trips to Strasburg was a bit less happy than the other ones - she and her father were in the model train store and her father noticed the old men running the store weren’t particularly interested in helping his elementary school-aged daughter. He loudly told her in front of them that it was because she was a girl - once again, a reminder that she was moving into a space she wasn’t supposed to be in according to some people. But she refused to give up on trains, instead being delighted as a 4-8-4 Northern locomotive, C&O 614, passed through her town two summers in a row on excursion runs. She and her dad would go to see it pass through - not even scrap metal getting into her eye from the NJ Transit chaser locomotive passing by beforehand deterred her from pursuing the thing she loved.
Things got harder after that. A kid at school the little girl would play with because he also liked trains decided one day that trains were “stupid” and he preferred spaceships, and she cried to her dad about it that night, who reassured her that they weren’t. But as the little girl got older, her differences became more obvious to her classmates, and the occasional rejection she was experiencing turned to flat-out bullying. The little girl’s friends waned, and she turned to a new hobby, video games, for comfort. By the end of 5th grade, she was a Nintendo expert, becoming well versed in Mario, Zelda, Banjo-Kazooie...and a newer franchise called Pokemon (in fact, she cried when in 4th grade her elementary school banned Pokemon cards). Having interactive worlds to explore helped her stave off the loneliness somewhat.
In 7th grade, the not-so-little girl, still reeling from 9/11 as she grew up in the shadow of New York City and her father was one gate away from United Flight 93 (he survived), got a Gamecube. Right after, she had her first crush. He wasn’t real, but her feelings were. Super Smash Brothers Melee introduced her to a franchise she was unfamiliar with, Fire Emblem, and they did this by including characters from two different FE games, Marth and Roy, in the game as unlockable characters. She fell for Roy instantly, and that was that. She began writing fanfiction about Melee, her first proper forays into the fandom sphere online, and she started to make internet friends (some of whom she still has now). Things led to other things - Fire Emblem led to fantasy, which led to Lord of the Rings, which led to “wow, I relate to Boromir’s desire to protect his younger brother Faramir because I want to protect my younger brother too,” which led to “oh, Sean Bean was in this thing called Sharpe, hmm.”
By high school, the not-so-little girl had discovered the Napoleonic Wars, and finally she understood her family’s appreciation for history. As her inability to learn math the way it was being taught locked her out of her dream science careers of paleontologist or astronomer, she shifted gears and prepared to become a historian, realizing she had a proper knack for it - she could learn things once and never forget them, she had excellent reading comprehension, and she loved to tell people’s stories and give them a voice. It was the perfect fit for her.
But nearly every spring break, she still went to Strasburg. And a family trip to London in 2004, right when the girl was in the midst of her Napoleonic Wars teaboo phase, brought the Underground into her life - she bought a Mind the Gap shirt that she wore frequently once back. Unbeknownst to her, on that trip, when they took a train from King’s Cross in London to Edinburgh, she was on the former London and North Eastern Railway. Her father had picked this because it was the old route of the Flying Scotsman, a named train that became so famous that one of the locomotives that regularly ran the route was named for it, a Gresley 4-6-2 A1/A3 Pacific. (Flying Scotsman survives today; she’s been restored and runs fairly regularly.) Still on her military history high, she likely unwittingly passed right through a location that would have significance for her later, a small village called Little Bytham.
Although it seemed during this period that her love of trains, now kept secret from her peers because she knew it would incur their harsh judgment and bullying, was on the back burner, it was always there. She started a writing project and picked the year 1863 for the setting because the first part of the London Underground opened that year. Another writing project included references to Richard Trevithick’s Puffing Devil and Catch Me Who Can, the first machines that could arguably be called steam locomotives. And of course, she was still going to Strasburg.
Eventually, the girl became a woman even though she didn’t feel like she could use that word yet because she was still in her teens, and she went to do her undergraduate degree at Gettysburg College - history, with a minor in American Civil War Era Studies. Astoundingly during this time, she didn’t write a single paper on The General, though the best-known film adaptation of that story would play a role in her life a few years later. Her social life was at an all-time low at college due to an emotionally abusive friendship, but she was clinging to another love of hers, baseball, to cope with things. Baseball carried her through a mental breakdown, OCD, and numerous other struggles, and she met a kitten at the worst point of it, who she named Murphy. That kitten arguably saved her life.
But the trains were still there, too, and after a lot of prodding she finally managed to get her friends to the Strasburg Rail Road, not too far a drive from college. In that moment, she was safe. She was on the rails again. After all, in 2009, she’d gotten a diagnosis that made everything make sense: she was autistic. It explained being an oddball, a girl who always seemed to end up in “male” spaces yet didn’t feel like she was performing femininity correctly, the intense and extreme passions for things she cared about...and, of course, the trains. It was a stereotype, but she fell smack dab into it. She kept it on the down low at the time and started to move into online self-advocacy spaces to meet other autistic people.
The young woman escaped the abusive friendship in 2011, after she graduated. After a year and a half of recovery at home, she applied to and got into graduate school back in New York City. She commuted from home for two years, 2013 and 2014, and in doing so quickly and scarily well developed a near encyclopedic knowledge of the New York City subway system, to the point that her entire family started asking her for train directions. She took a sort of pride in her parents affectionately calling her a “mole person.” Somewhere around this time, her dad told her about the tragedy of Penn Station, which she did not take well and still does not take well. The young woman was indulging her love of comedy at the time she started graduate school, and she determined that she would love to do comedy history as her specialized area of research. As she delved deep into it, she discovered Buster Keaton, who, like her, loved baseball and trains. She felt a sort of understanding there, especially watching him operate a locomotive entirely by himself in his film about the American Civil War - about the General, the locomotive stolen by the North and pursued by fellow Confederate locomotive Texas. She felt the tug in her heart. The trains were still there.
2014 outed her as a railfan, though, because she accidentally discovered a children’s show called Chuggington when she was up late one night doing grad school readings. There was an attractive human on the show who was the culmination of traits she looked for in a boyfriend, and so at age 25 she was watching a preschool show about trains so she could see one human character. Initially she was embarrassed to admit it, but her enthusiasm ended up winning out, and before long she was the entire Chuggington tag on Tumblr. To cope with turning 25, a landmark age, she went back to shows she enjoyed as a very small child - rewatching Thomas and Friends from an adult perspective was fun, but it reignited her love for steam locomotives yet again, and a character on Chuggington, Olwin, was modeled after an A4 Pacific, another locomotive designed by Sir Nigel Gresley.
The young woman was thus led to Mallard.
Tumblr media
(photo source - Tommy Bray is on the left, with Joe Duddington right next to him)
In 1938, on July 3rd, a 4-6-2 Pacific A4, 4468 Mallard, set a speed record for steam traction, hitting 126 miles per hour down Stoke Bank just south of the village of Little Bytham. Mallard’s record has never been broken. Driven that day by 61-year-old grandfather Joe Duddington and powered by fireman Tommy Bray, she sped into the history books, a blinding blue streak. And the young woman had always had a lead foot herself and loved speed, and she was enthralled. Mallard captivated her completely. Her love for trains was out in the open now, and it would stay that way.
In 2015, she and her dad drove out to Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, to see her dad’s favorite locomotive, Nickel Plate Road 765, on an excursion run. She touched her hand gently to the locomotive’s bumper and felt all those emotions she felt as a little girl rush back into her.
In 2017, she found the friendship jewelry her emotionally abusive friend had made her wear like pet tags denoting ownership and drove south an hour to throw them into the Raritan River. That year, her autistic self-advocacy work culminated in a new project combining two of her passions - the Autistic Gaming Initiative. AGI, as its members came to call it, is an all-autistic video game streaming team working to raise money and awareness for autistic-led advocacy organizations. At the helm - or perhaps more aptly, on the footplate - the young woman began to discover that she had a capacity and capability for leadership that she didn’t know she had. Slowly but surely, and with the help of dedicated friends and supportive family members, she began to stop hating herself, although she still felt the shadows of her past hanging heavily over her head.
Back in 2012, she had a physical to go to grad school in the spring. This physical picked up that she had developed an autoimmune thyroid disorder called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, which had likely been caused by a combination of mold exposure at Gettysburg and the extreme stress of living with her emotionally abusive roommate for two years. As the illness developed, she began to gain weight in odd ways, resulting in her feeling misshapen - no amount of plain exercise seemed to be halting the progression of the weight gain, and she became more and more demoralized about it. The little girl was eventually a young woman nearing her 30s, and she had still never dated due to the childhood bullying and the emotional abuse. The body dysmorphia began to make her feel like she never would, and on top of everything, she had too much emotional baggage and trauma to think about trying. Even as her career aligned perfectly and she finally landed a job as an archivist at a public library at age 29, she still felt like in some ways that she was failing at being human.
A pandemic hit not long after she moved out into her own apartment with an internet friend turned not-abusive roommate. This was, of course, a massive blow to someone who had worked so hard to finally live independently, and she spent 2020 logging her days from home, working on a comedy-related animation project, and confronting her past - being cooped up in a small apartment brought back memories of the emotional abuse, and she was forced to address it. A small comfort was Pokemon, which she had just gotten back into in 2019 via the newest games, Sword and Shield. The game’s two DLCs dropped during the pandemic, and she played them both, giving her a few bright spots in 2020. It was around that time that her roommate, who had played Gen 5, told her about the Battle Subway.
This, of course, fit the young woman’s exact aesthetic, right down to wearing giant swing coats and intensely desiring to fight annoying tourists who kept their backpacks on when standing on the subway, and she dove right in...only to find two characters, Ingo and Emmet, who were weirdly similar to her herself.
Tumblr media
Especially Emmet, the weirder, younger one. And I, the young woman, had never felt more seen in my life.
My brain clicked with Emmet instantaneously. I’m not sure I’ve ever looked at a character and realized “holy shit, that’s me” so quickly, but then again, I’d never seen a character who was an autistic-coded subway conductor who swung his arms when he walked and was way too blunt and was clearly having the time of his life doing what he loved and who never lost his enthusiasm for things. I probably fell in love instantly, or at least when the Gotcha! video (what the above gif is from) aired and Emmet couldn’t resist looking up at the camera and smiling. Either way, it was fast - so fast that I didn’t realize it had happened for nearly ten months.
I decided it was time to make up for lost time. I acquired a used 3DS, Omega Ruby, Y, and Sun, with the hopes of managing to snag White and White 2 at some point since my roommate had Black and Black 2. I immediately rushed through the story of Omega Ruby to obtain the Eon Flute so I could start searching the Mirage Islands for Tynamo. I needed to raise an Eelektross, and they weren’t in Gen 8. I tried to hide that I was getting attached, but my roommate saw right through me, and I reluctantly had to admit that yes, I ordered the Submas plushies, and yes, they were going to be in our apartment making those weird faces. But you see, I related to them - they were just like me - and I had to. I just had to. They began filling up my sketchbooks at an alarming rate. I named an Archen after Emmet, but was so shy as I did so that I couldn’t even look at the screen as I did it. And perhaps most notably, I started trying to use their team - and finally felt brave enough to take on battle facilities.
And that team was able to win, and I knew that I wanted to try to breed for a full 6 IV Submas team. I started with Tynamo, and after several days of struggle, the 6 IV baby eel hatched from the egg.
Tumblr media
I named him Old Rivets, after my beloved GG1.
After a long time off, I began writing again with some new original characters. I started exploring the concept of a crew running an express steam train in the present day together, and based the engineer on myself - the little girl who was asked all those years ago why she was wearing a “boy’s hat.” I gave her my thyroid disorder and body type with the hopes of working through my body dysmorphia and coming to terms with myself...and then I allowed her to fall in love with the head conductor.
Tumblr media
Much like me, Engineer hides her weird body shape under a giant coat most of the time, but eventually she comes to realize that regardless of what she looks like, Conductor loves her, and I started to think that maybe things weren’t impossible for me after all after writing for the two of them for a few months. I even went and bought a vintage conductor hat off of eBay for myself for my birthday, which I now wear a lot more than I should in public.
In late June of 2021, Ingo and Emmet were added to the mobile game Pokemon Masters EX, and in early July, I finally realized that I had been crushing horribly on Emmet for the entire time. (I’m dense, I know.) I finally started using this to explore myself a bit more and understand that I could have the things I didn’t think I deserved because of how I looked and how people treated me in the past, and I began to heal from everything slowly but surely. I allowed myself, in my silly little imagination, to feel things I’d never felt before. I obviously knew it wasn’t real - this was just pretend to work on accepting that I could have it and could be loved - and slowly, quietly, things began to improve. By the end of 2021, I realized that I had burned myself out, and I actually liked myself enough to put effort into myself again, not just into others. I started eating better, exercising more regularly...and my mood improved, and my strength started to come back.
I have a shelf in my bedroom. I call it my Serotonin Shelf. On it is all of my Submas merch; it’s right at the head of my bed. It’s simple: I look at the shelf, and my brain produces the neurotransmitter serotonin.
Tumblr media
These two actually gave me what I needed to be myself again. I cannot overstate that. That’s actually what happened here.
In late 2021, my dad and I went on a pandemic-delayed trip to Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to see the site of the flood.
On the way there we made a stop at Strasburg.
I reunited with Old Rivets for the first time in ten years, and this time, I was in uniform when I did it.
Tumblr media
And this time, I had some friends with me.
Tumblr media
(This photo is blurry because the focus is actually 4-8-4 Northern Norfolk and Western 611, the Queen of Steam herself, in the background; she was visiting Strasburg for the season and my dad and I had to go see her.)
Given how these two have helped me heal and remember who I actually am, you can probably understand that the Legends: Arceus spoilers hit me extremely hard. I went and read the datamined text from the entire game to see if Ingo would be okay. The game leaves it up in the air - you, the player character, and he are both brought back from the present day to do things in the past, but from what I could find it’s unclear if either of you gets to return home. And to make matters worse, Ingo can’t remember who he is, including that he has a twin brother. It ripped my heart out as someone who adores the two of them, as someone who has a younger brother, as someone who lost her own identity once...as someone who found herself again because of these two fictional characters. If they’re considered permanently separated, I don’t know what I’ll do. I need closure on this. I need to thank them both for everything they’ve done for me...for giving me myself back.
And thank you especially, Emmet, for giving me my smile back.

WARNING: LONG POST! NO TRIGGERS - FEEL GOOD VIBES GUARANTEED! (Unless your heart is, like, literally made of stone!...)
ANYWAY!
So I'm going to tell you a bit about my Dad! 😍
The whole reason why I express myself creatively is because of my dad. My love of reading and writing comes from him. He is (along with my mum of course – if you want a lesson in equality and the example of “sensitive, new age man” my dad’s pic is under the definition) and always has been my biggest supporter – the person who is guaranteed to be in the front row cheering me on. I didn’t have a soccer mum growing up, I had a soccer DAD. Dad was the one who took me and my brother everywhere on the weekends! I was very lucky and privileged growing up – dad would take me to singing lessons, piano lessons, tennis lessons (I tried other activities too but I won’t mention them…basically cause I sucked lol). Dad was the one who listened and encouraged me when I wrote my first song – music was my absolute passion (and still is)and he would spend hours with me workshopping every performance I would prepare for, every recital...He was my Alpha before I knew what that term meant.
WHY AM I TELLING YOU ALL THIS???
I'm glad you asked - I'll tell you 😉
As most of you know - I have recently created my author page on Facebook. This year I have made a conscious effort to connect to those with like-minded interests. HP FANFIC! I’ve found my people!!! Specifically on the platforms Facebook and Tumblr (I still suck at it…but I’m trying!)…I’m also a lurker on Instagram.
MISSY GET BACK TO THE POINT!
Here it is: My dad is an Indi Author! I know! How BAMF is that?! He’s retired now, but back in the day he was an English and History teacher. He also taught English as a Second Language for a while and eventually moved into Higher Education in which he taught young adults with learning disabilities – his program was designed to teach them essential life skills (like budgeting, shopping, skills that would lead to getting a job) He would come home and tell me stories about his students and one of their favourite activities: Reading the newspaper together as a class and discuss the current events – dad was an amazing teacher and he is an amazing man.
When dad was an English teacher at High School, one of the activities he would run when teaching creative writing was an activity he had dubbed: “speed writing”. Now that I’ve become a part of fandom author community - I have literally only just put two and two together and realised my dad was running “sprints” in his classroom 😱😱😱
Again! What an absolute BAMF!
MISSY! YOU’RE RAMBLING AGAIN - GET BACK TO THE ACTUAL POINT!
Okay, Sorry! I'll try again...
Dad isn’t on social media (though mum is), he doesn’t use a mobile phone (but mum does – you see where I’m going with this?). As an independently published Indi-Author on Amazon (I’m gonna share the link – don’t worry), I’ve told him about the benefits of social networking. He’s been reluctant…I decided at the time not to push. Recently though, I shared with him the fact that I’ve been writing during Covid 19 – not songs and music, but stories. I told him I’ve found a safe haven in fanfiction – I’ve found people I wish I knew years ago! I’ve found friends who I’m now collaborating with (back in the day I was never in a band or anything like that). I’ve told Dad about my experience publishing my little ficlettes and stories on AO3 - how I was receiving reviews and feedback. I told him about ‘Kudos”.
His ears suddenly perked up and bless him – he said “Do you think your friends would look at my story too and do you think they would leave a comment?”
Well friends, now you *know* - I’m a daughter on a mission!
My dad’s alias is Raymond Jeffrey. His birthday is the 12th of December and I’ve been thinking...What can I possibly give the man who has literally fuelled my love of writing? Who has constantly encouraged my creativity. What does he truly want?
The answer is Kudos people!!!!!
My dad isn’t interested in the amount of sales or rankings his book gets – It’d be nice, but it won't stop him from writing his trilogy. He's already a thrid of the way through book 2!!! (BAMF!)
So friends, if I may be so bold - can I ask you to reach out and leave him a review on Amazon? Even if it is as simple as a phrase of encouragement to keep writing, to continue? The way we do in Fandom?
That would be simply magic!!!
I’m not asking you to buy his book, but if you have Kindle I’d love for you to give his original work a go and leave him a review.
You can download a free sample here:
https://www.amazon.com.au/God-Wills-Lucifers-Raymond-Jeffrey-ebook/dp/B07NTQ2C5T
Dad literally painted the artwork himself (and then had mum scan it as a PDF in order to upload it and then use it as a cover). My mum has been simply amazing – she’s his Alpha and has encouraged him on this life long goal to write a book.
Dad currently had 10 sales in total (some are purchases made by family from overseas) and recently he cheekily introduced himself to his new neighbour (my folks recently moved during Covid 19) as an ‘internationally selling author’(Omg Dad! 😆🤣😂 ). He's also hired a woman to professionally format and edit his book for SPAG – so his book has actually been professionally Beta’d (when I told him I had met people who loved Betaing for funsies he was shocked and also secretly I think he was a little jelly 🤭🤭🤭).
So yes, can you help me friends????? Be a part of this movement I’m trying to start?!
I would literally love for him to suddenly get a flood of reviews and have no idea why!
I plan to share this post with him for his birthday.
Thanks and gratitude friends!
Love from Missy xxxxx

it highkey annoys me when a writer changes blaine’s ethnicity like it’s a multiple choice option or something. i once came across a fic that said “in this fic, blaine will be _____ instead of Filipinoip
YEAH
funny timing because I’ve literally been talking about darren’s (and subsequently blaine’s) whitewashing with friends for like, the past 12 hours.
darren is half filipino. this means that blaine is half filipino, regardless of the fact that it was completely and utterly neglected and glossed over during glee.
in fanfiction, many variables are up for debate, personality-wise, status-wise, even appearance-wise! change blaine’s style, his hair, his backstory, his occupation, his demeanor, whatever. as a writer, that’s your character and your perogative.
but race is not a variable. blaine is portrayed by a poc, therefore blaine is a poc, regardless of potential level of white-passing. there is no legitimate purpose that I can think of for changing blaine’s race. you wouldn’t change mercedes’s or mike’s, so why is blaine’s somehow malleable and optional? blaine can speak italian or be from france or do whatever you want him to do in your fic while still being biracial.
glee completely ignored and supressed the fact that blaine is a poc. so many people don’t even know that darren is, and though hollywood attempted to touch on this through his character of raymond, it didn’t properly develop it as a facet of his identity (largely because raymond was a two dimensional character imo, as were most on the show, but that’s a different topic). and ya know what? that isn’t fair. it sucks.
darren has always been open about being filipino, about his mom and his upbringing and all of it, but he’s also been forced to lean into his ability to pass as white countless numbers of times. it’s shitty, and it’s underrepresented, and we should talk about it.
I went on a tangent, but the same applies to blaine. he is a poc. he is biracial. he is filipino. it wasn’t spoken about on the show, and you can choose to speak about it in your fic or not, but it’s still part of his identity. it’s not up for debate.
I’m white, so I’m not going to act like I’m the ultimate voice on the subject, because I’m not. but my dad is biracial and arguably white passing, and I’ve grown up around and witnessed and struggled with coming to terms with this sort of erasure my entire life. it’s a problem, and it’s a big one, and there should be more conversation about it.

fanfiction recs
(last updated 12/24/2020.)
looking for fics starring or featuring The Only Character In Fire Emblem? wait no more! mostly raven/lucius, but there’s some gen fic too if that’s not your thing. :]
if you don’t see your favourites on this list, feel free to reblog/reply to this post with your own additions!
ship fic
cup runneth over by elibe - 12k. an angel!lucius lucius/raven au. I won’t spoil much, but this is one of my all-time favourites! beautifully written, unbelievably sweet. (CW: death, brief mentions of throwing up, non-explicit nsfw near the end)
“This — you — are my purpose,” Raven trips over his words. He feels nothing but the blazing heat of the flush that spreads across his skin. “Any other purpose eludes me. I — I am not a man deserving of mercy and grace and yet you have given me both wholeheartedly. You deserve better than this.”
“Then what is it that I deserve?” Lucius asks. His voice wavers and he clutches Raven’s hand like a vice.
“Love.” He answers breathlessly.
-> I’ll go ahead and cut this list in half by adding a recommendation for any of ao3 user elibe’s fic, their work is always a delight to read-- i’ll highlight the line, heat death and i need no ring by them.
namesakes by folkvangr (lusteralliance) - 1k. short and sweet, two dads naming their kids. :]
they did not have names; lucius told raven that he hoped to give them names soon. raven didn’t like referring to the children as “hey you” and “kid” all the time, so he secretly hoped to do so, too.
we'll build our house in a field of gold by elinciacrimea - 8k. fleshes out canon really nicely. Reading this fic always gives me a bit of a cozy feeling. I’ll go on to recommend a lot of this user’s work too, here’s a florina/lyn fic from them I love. (CW: mentions of suicide, and the circumstances around the fall of House Cornwell)
Several years after the events on the Dread Isle, Raven and Lucius pay a visit. Secrets are shared, love is discussed, and new futures are built.
for now by cavalry - 3k. explores a lot of the things I love about lucius’ character, plus a very soft established relationship lucius/raven. set between fe6 and fe7. (CW: In their own words, mentions of canon-typical violence (but nothing on-screen), and Lucius has a panic attack.)
Raven returns to the orphanage with gifts in tow.
Hail The Marquess! A Fire Emblem Story by SpareTimeEntertainment - 42k. Admittedly a bit of a cheat since lucius/raven is just a background ship in this one, but they’re very sweet in it. Cheesy in the best way. If you like Florina/Lyn, hijinks, and surprisingly engaging suspense and action, this feel-good story is for you. (CW: there are some brief scenes where someone is trying to coerce Lyn into getting married, but it’s resolved quickly and framed as a bad thing. also, people get drunk.)
Jubilation in Caelin! On the fourth anniversary of his ascension to the seat, the great Marquess Eliwood of Pherae is to be honoured on a night of celebrations hosted by his dear friend, the Lady Lyndis. But despite the lavish presentation for her honoured guest, Lyn's heart is torn. With her own lordship imminent and her seat of Caelin guaranteed, would-be courtiers are flocking like vultures - but the most heartfelt and unassuming one of all is Lyn's own dearly beloved Florina. Meek as ever, Florina would need a miracle - or a master plan - to win Lyn's heart. Fortunately for her, a familiar tactician just rode back into town...
Spare Time Entertainment is proud to present a romantic comedy - where the war of the heart is waged in cavalry charges of passion and phalanx formations of love, where old friends and familiar faces have just one night to enshrine a love long adored. It's a race against time (and a hell of a good time) in...
HAIL THE MARQUESS!
i want you to stay by ackermanx - 3k. a fun and heartwarming modern au. can it be considered a classic at this point...?? (also, not related to anything, but every time i read the author’s notes on this one I laugh a lot.) (CW: some discussion of religion, but it’s lighthearted.)
"Oh, is your sister leaving? A shame, I was going to talk to her about leading the choir. Although, you're still here, so I suppose that's enough."
Raven turns around at the sound of the familiar voice, making a strangled noise once he realizes just how close Lucius is. He's unable to tear his gaze away from the other male's sparkling eyes, the tiny curl of his lips as a smile spreads across his face -
Shit, Raven thinks. I do like Lucius.
By Your Side by pixelpiano - 1k. short and soft and sweet. also, trans!lucius!
Lucius and Raymond discuss the future...
gen
Soren's Fantastical Askran Adventures by fairmyrmidon - 4k. holds a special place in my heart. soren from fe9/10 and lucius becoming frends in askr!
Soren appears in Askr, intimidates the summoner, and frightens everyone except for a healer who is already experienced in dealing with foul attitudes.
A Lady's Generosity by estamir - 2k. super cute lucius/serra/matthew friendship!
Lucius is facing a rough winter at the orphanage he's opened in Araphen. Serra has other ideas
At sixteen you departed by tattedmariposa - 700. platonic lucius&priscilla, this author’s style is so captivating.
It was outside the healer's tent, in the time between afternoon and evening when the sun colored the earth warmly, where Priscilla finally gained the courage to ask.

•when it rains, it pours By MrsNoraPalmer

The Legends stopped being Legends 18 months ago. That left everyone to either resume or find civilian lives. For Nora Darhk, figuring out civilian life has been more than difficult. And that's how she ends up on Ray Palmer's doorstep in the pouring rain asking for a place to crash for the night. Only she gets something more. Something she's always wanted.
•One Half-Inch By Iaintnosidekick
https://archiveofourown.org/works/18456863
When Nora and Ray have to share a bed for the night, they try to keep it casual. But a lot of tension can build up in only one half-inch.
•walk away By MrsNoraPalmer
https://archiveofourown.org/works/18088472
Ray is becoming incredibly frustrated with the Legend's treatment of Nora since she joined the team. It finally all comes to a head after a mission and he says some things he may regret.
•stuck in the past (but seeing the future) By MrsNoraPalmer
https://archiveofourown.org/works/17401850#main
Post 'No Country for Old Dads', Nora and her father have to travel to 2023 to find something that will help them track the remaining totems, Nora takes the lead on the mission and has some fun in her free time, knowing it's quickly dwindling as Mallus gets stronger, expecting it'll just be a relatively normal day, aside from all the mission nonsense, what she doesn't expect is a small brunette flying into her arms at the park crying and calling her 'mommy'.
•her mother's eyes By MrsNoraPalmer
https://archiveofourown.org/works/17581079
“Ray… could you come to the bridge. Someone here is demanding to see you.”
Ray, confused because they were in the temporal zone, wondered who could be on the bridge? Maybe she just meant over the coms? Ray shook his head and walked onto the bridge. Before he could register what was happening something small flew into his legs. A little girl, no more than five or six, grabbed onto his legs for dear life.
“DADDY!!!!”
A companion piece to stuck in the past (but seeing the future) because both fics are Nora and Ray respectively meeting children they definitely don't have yet and are incredibly confused about it.

Nora must figure out where she fits in with the Legends, while fighting her own demons, both literal and physical.

Fandom is Officially Integrated as for the Reference Use in News Articles from OneNETnews
DUMAGUETE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- As we found out from our own news organization in history today... OneNETnews was totally acknowledged for integrating our partnership with Wikia (which is now on Fandom as merged on a Late January 2016). There are 3 Wikia(s) as presentedly linked unnoticed; starting with the International Airing of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic on NTV7 Malaysia and both Bhaagam Bhaag & Oye Golu on Disney Channel India in Late November 2020 onwards from our recent news article and a Tumblr post update on us.
In a text message via SMS as our Station Manager, President of ONC & Radyo Patrol #4 reporter (Princess Twilight Sparkle) says, "Referencing a news report or an article in a TV Show for example... is totally OK, as long as you will require an optional permission with a credit, when necessarily needed with us. From a Local, Regional, National and International News, even for your interest of the sensitively explicits, Anime, Cartoons, TV Show, Radio Airchecks and Entertainment... I can automatically certify with you as a guest or veteran journalist person role. I appreciate with a legal partnership with Fandom (formerly known as Wikia) for a selected news article of yours as a reference to somepony else for the Media Outlets and/or the Wiki itself. I am so much proud to you as a Princess of Equestria".
Raymond Martinez from Quora questions about a permission to handle all the future references to someone else is legal with a credited name or organization, "If you’re writing a news and/or featured article, commentary & other forms of written materials for newspaper or magazine, your references are usually included in the body of your article. So, yes, an article has to include references".
Every single news articles from OneNETnews for your reference use in any reason, we are totally covered from our own Terms & Conditions from our friends at Inkbunny. Do's and Don't(s) may subject to change per rule.
A short trivia, from this decade of 2010s before OneNETtv Channel's news blog and the Internet Broadcasting in Dumaguete, we started as a formerly small amateur website to our first username to "feling009.webs.com" and the site was permanently frozen without any reason as inactive. There is "BBCPhilippinesNSFW", covering a focused updates of Equestria Untamed by PalComix but... the law was changed from a Tumblr's decision to go all Safe for Work (SFW) only. So we briefly decided to publish our First and Oldest news article upon passing away from a Cancer issue of PalComix art team by the first week of May 2013.
In regarding the changes for Fanfictions and Stream Post however... Our newsteam of OneNETnews was sadly also decided... We will discontinue for now unnoticed due to a lack of interests and focusing a physical elementary school class at West City Elementary School in Dumaguete on us. Toonami Network was added as a sister website for OneNETtv Channel, which is actually managed from our dad named Felizardo Calimpong for the TV and Radio Broadcast service. And that is how we started from our small newscast person on us, until today at home (almost a decade later) in Brgy. Pulangtubig in 2021. The rest of that will remain in a digital history.
Station Manager Princess (SMP) Twilight Sparkle has acknowledged for the integrated partnership with Wikia for a future news article reference use in TV Shows and more, from our most-trusted independent news organization in Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental together. We are always to be celebrated for 10 years in Internet TV Broadcasting and a Digital Blog Platform from our home of Tumblr.

B99 Hiatus Writing Challenge
In the immortal words of Captain Raymond Jacob Holt, “EVERYTHING IS GARBAGE.” – The finale left our favorite squad in pain, we have to wait months for new content, and Dianetti still isn’t canon.
Even Terry knows what we need most in these trying times: fanfiction. 
Under the cut is a list of 30 prompts/summaries put together with a ton of help from @stardustsantiago, @peraltiagoisland, @scullysthumbtacks, @three-drink-amy​, and @dogworldchampion. Feel free to run away with any (or many) of these plot bunnies!! Let’s make this hiatus as gr99 as possible. ★
1. He’s still chuckling at her screaming sheep prank as he walks out of the break room. He’s four paces away when he turns back, ready to stick his tongue out at her and yell one last comeback. Except that’s when he sees it: the Double Tuck.
2. An emergency at the precinct calls Raymond away from home, leaving Kevin alone to babysit little Marcus for the rest of the day. Everything’s all well and good until pre-nap story time, when Kevin realizes he’s never met another child so emotional over Humpty Dumpty falling off a wall. He manages to calm little Marcus down by suggesting they make french toast with bacon smiles for dinner, but the child ends up sobbing at the sight of the refrigerator. (Alternatively: 4-year-old Marcus bonds with his Uncle Ray-Ray’s boyfriend.)
3. “GET THAT LITTLE DEMON AWAY FROM ME.” “Jake, he’s just a baby. Also, weren’t you the one who rented this fur ball for the night?” “I DIDN’T REALIZE I WAS PAYING FOR SHERE KHAN JUNIOR.”
The relief team takes over. Jake and Amy don’t catch the bad guys. The night still ends up on their good dates list.
4. Five hours. No texts or calls or selfies or anything from him for five hours. Amy should have realized it sooner. She should have believed he was being sabotaged. She shouldn’t have driven off after he said, “See you never.” 
5. “Which bird is that?” “It’s the shut the hell up or leave me alone bird.” “Is that its Latin name?”
Rosa Diaz is a graduate student at Cornell looking into going on sabbatical to study birds at the University of Buenos Aires. She’s pretty set in her plans, until she meets novice bird watcher Gina Linetti.
6. Jake is a disgruntled bookshop worker, just trying to save up to pay off his crushing debt. His life is a monotonous cycle of shipment unpacking, shelf restocking, and cashier manning until Amy comes in with a rare old book request, and they spend an entire afternoon searching the store for it. (Truthfully, he knows exactly where to find it, but he maybe doesn’t want his time with her to end.)
7. “Hey, it’s me. Please open the door... Come on, let’s talk. I’m sorry.” “Can I help you?” “Oh, no, you’re not Amy.”
After the most disastrous double date in history, Jake knocks on Amy’s door instead of Sophia’s.
8. Jake Peralta is one of the best wedding planners in Brooklyn. He can handle any wedding with his usual pizzazz and charm. Except for Amy Santiago’s.
9. “All aboard the Terryliner. Next stop, Holtsovania.” “Wait! Can we drop by the farmers market first?”
A perp Charles has been chasing for months surfaces out of the blue. Nikolaj is left at the precinct, and the rest of the squad take turns watching him.
10. He’d hated this song since his bar mitzvah ages ago, but suddenly, he couldn’t bring himself to keep hating it. Not when Amy’s hand was clasped in his. Not when she was close enough for him to see the lighter flecks in her eyes. Not when her smile had him falling deeper and deeper in love.
11. “Geez, Santiago, you didn’t have to pay $950 just for a second date with me! I didn’t realize you were so bummed our date last month was cut short by that case.”
The NYPD Men’s Charity Date Auction is coming up, and it’s Jake’s first time participating in the event. He’s been boasting about how excited he is to get free dinner and help out the local children’s hospital, but truthfully he’s scared out of his mind. (Rumor has it that the crazy 2nd floor receptionist from the Seven-Three was gonna drop at least $500 for a night with him.) He’s as stunned as the entire audience when Amy pulls through with a winning bid at the very last second.
12. Gina Linetti is stuck as assistant manager at the worst sunglass kiosk this side of Brooklyn. Her life changes when Rosa Diaz walks up and demands the darkest and shadiest pair they've got.
13. “Are you hearing that? What the hell is that noise?” “Do you mean all that thumping, yelling, and plates crashing?” “That plus the endless loop of Beyonce songs.” “Yeah, that’s Rosa and Gina having sex.” “WHAT? EW.” “Oh my god. Am I neighbors with a homophobe?”
Apartment neighbors Jake and Amy bond over the loud, crazy people on their floor.
14. I made a deal to save your life, and we can never be with each other ever again or else the person I made the deal with is going to kill one of us and make the other watch... I’m so sorry, it was the only way.
15. “So if I transferred anywhere else, you wouldn’t care at all?” “No, of course not. Do whatever you want, you know, it’s your life.”
He should have said something. Because now she’s gone to work for the Special Victims Unit, and he’s pretty sure she took a part of his soul with her.
16. Amy Santiago is about to have a traditional summer with her family, including her close friend Rosa, at Kellerman’s, a summer lodge she goes to every year. But then, she meets Jake Peralta, a talented dance instructor from the wrong side of the tracks. Will she have the time of her life? (Dirty Dancing!AU)
17. “Peralta, I swear to god, if you get blue soda in my car, I’ll kill you.” “Okay, but can I still eat my pocket donut, though?”
Jake and Amy go on a road trip, minus the complicated relationships but still with the poorly disguised feelings.
18. Midnight motorcycle races weren’t exactly Gina’s style, but the girl in the black leather jacket riding the supercharged R1 has her intrigued. She’s even more impressed when this rider turns up as a classical ballerina in their local dance competition.
19. “Ugh, Dad, The Enigma won’t leave me alone! Today she followed me around the entire playground.” “Now, Nikolaj, be nice to your cousin. She just loves you so much!”  
20. We’re partners for an essay project in History of Magic, and we need to get a book from the restricted section, but I’m not sure how the books are organized in this section, and you won’t stop trying to find weird sex books, like, no I don’t think they keep the wizard’s kama sutra in the restricted section, what is wrong with you? (Hogwarts!AU)
21. “Remember when you got arrested and had to go to jail for three months?” “Yeah, good times.”
The squad and their kids get together for a barbeque, now that they’re all happy.
22. Lieutenant Melanie Hawkins is the best cop in the NYPD for a reason. As they’re being transferred to Rikers, Jake and Rosa find out they’re actually being sent to further infiltrate a notorious drug cartel. And thus begins one of the biggest, most dangerous undercover operations in history.
23. “Detective David Majors is already on this case. I need someone to partner up with him.” “Sir, with all due respect, I’m the obvious choice. I mean, look at me.” “I’m not sure you’re right for this, Peralta. The marshal says the detectives have to go undercover as a couple, and I’m not sure the group to be infiltrated is quite so progressive… I think I’ll send in Santiago.”
Amy gets assigned to date Blotter Dynamite Dave Majors for an indefinite amount of time. Jake considers ruining the operation in the name of love. (Fake Dating!AU - except not with Jake)
24. She’s pale yet covered in bruises, and her movements are slower and more guarded. There’s nothing he wants to do more than just hold her, but from behind the glass separating the two of them, all he can do is ask, “What happened?” (Alternatively: Amy gets injured in the field while Jake is in jail.)
25. “Sir, how did you and Kevin get engaged?” “I don’t think this is much of a proposal story, Jacob. We heard gay marriage had been legalized and then headed straight for City Hall.”
It’s only half an hour into this stakeout, but to Jake it feels like it’s been an eternity. There’s a ring box burning a hole in his pocket, and a jumbled mess of ideas in his head. He knows Amy wouldn’t want him turning to anyone for approval, but the longer they sit in this car, the more inclined he is to ask Holt for advice.
26. I am Head Girl, and I’ve been asked to give a presentation on safe sexual practices, and you will not stop asking me uncomfortable questions to embarrass me. Please stop, I know you know the answer to that, we did it last night. (Hogwarts!AU)
27.  “What the hell, Gina! I thought this was supposed to be a Hip Hop class?” “Rosa, Rosa, Rosa. Did you seriously think I wanted a Step Up-esque number for the first dance out our wedding?” “Uhm. Yes?”
Gina tricks Rosa into taking a couples ballroom dance class with her.
28. A tragic car crash kills Terry and Sharon, leaving their baby daughter Ava to their mutual friends Jake and Amy, who don’t get along at all. (Life As We Know It!AU)
29. Jake and Amy manage to keep their relationship a secret, but that means Dozerman stays captain of the precinct.
30. “Just you and me, and Baby makes three.”
There’s a binder full of color coded information on the shelf, and a Die Hard-themed onesie in the dresser. Jake and Amy’s baby is on the way.

Roses
(Yes it's Radmond fanfiction featuring two OOC boys probably) 
KO had been the one to find the first rose. He'd been cleaning up after the first official Plaza Prom, and had found the somewhat wilted flower laying on the punch table. He hadn't thought much of it, really he only mentioned it to Rad and Enid because he felt sad that somebody had forgotten their flower. "I know if I'd gotten Mommy a fancy rose and she'd lost it, she'd be super upset about it!", he explained, giving his two best friends the KO Puppy Eyes. 
That's how Mr. Gar’s shop ended up having a vase (KO had made it himself out of macaroni, somehow...) with a much happier looking rose resting in a couple inches of water. Nobody questioned it, probably because nobody really cared, but the little addition seemed to brighten the shop a bit. KO was convinced someone would come in and recognize the flower, even though Rad insisted that nobody would remember "Some dumb flower" well enough to actually miss it to begin with. 
KO, with his ever present optimism and selective hearing, decided that someone would definitely come in just to get their lost rose back. Enid just shrugged and hid her smile behind some trashy gossip magazine. She was the one who found the second rose, along with a rather short poem. 
"Jeez, listen to this guys!", she called, giving the rose a precise, gentle kick so that it landed safely into the vase. Rad and KO crowded around the counter, eager to hear what the note said. Enid cleared her throat and began reading in the cheesiest romantic voice she could muster. "This rose is red, quite a beautiful hue, but I prefer instead, flush of the color blue.", she started, striking a couple of dramatic poses for good measure. Rad snickered at her antics while KO looked positively awed by the poetry.
 "Enid, that was so beautiful! Who do you think could write something so amazing?!?", he asked, hopping in place excitedly. Enid rolled her eyes and slipped the note under the counter, the gears in her head turning. "I dunno, KO. Whoever it is clearly has it bad for someone.", she replied, giving Rad a sly grin. It went unnoticed, as Rad picked KO up and let the little hero rest on his shoulder.
 "Man, who writes poetry anymore? Why not just ask someone out?", he asked, giving KO a little head pat. He smirked and flexed before he bragged, "I guess some guys just have it hard. Not everyone can be as cool as me!" KO agreed happily, and the store employees soon got back to their work. And by that I mean KO did whatever menial tasks Enid and Rad didn't feel like doing. 
A few days later, after a particularly difficult fight with Raymond that involved bad sports puns, a chicken, and a possessed television set, the trio tramped back to the store. They were exhausted, even hyper little KO was quiet for once, and he probably wouldn't have noticed the rose if it weren't for the fact that one of the thorns pricked his foot. 
After a little sniffling and first aid care from Enid, the trio managed to find yet another poem to go with the rose. A slightly trampled rose was levitated into the vase, and KO was given the honors of reading this poem since he'd found the rose.
 "The ocean reminds me of you, not only for the color, but of the way I drown in its depths, like I do with your eyes.", he recited, blinking a couple times in confusion. "Is this guy super tiny or something? How could you drown in someone's eyes if you weren't super small?", he asked, looking up at Enid from the spot he'd taken on her lap. "Well, it isn't-", she began, not at all surprised when Rad cut her off. 
"It's not like, something literal. This person means they get caught in someone's eyes really badly, and can't like, look away from them because they're mesmerized by their beauty.", he replied, not noticing the weird look he got from Enid for a second. However, he quickly added, "I mean, I guess they could be super tiny? I don't know dude, poetry's too lame and nerdy for me to get." 
KO bought it entirely, but Enid didn't. She didn't call Rad out though, and simply tucked the note away with the other one. "Well, either way... Someone in the bodega clearly has an admirer.", she stated, moving KO from her lap to the counter. He got all starry eyed at the prospect, momentarily forgetting he was supposed to be hurt as he jumped to his feet. 
"Then we gotta find this secret admirer, and help them confess!", he exclaimed, realizing a second too late that he'd just put weight on his injured foot. Enid and Rad spent the next half hour soothing a crying KO as they treated his boo-boo. His little mission was pushed to the side for a couple days, until they found the fourth rose. 
Or, more accurately, Mr. Gar found the fourth rose. After a long, awkward minute of stuttering and avoiding eye contact with the employees, he handed over the rose and the attached note before he hurried off to his office. Before Enid or KO could get a chance to even see the note, Rad used his cool powers to levitate over to himself. 
Unlike the other two, his eyes scanned the words a few times before he read it. "I was never programmed to pine, yet I find myself doing so for you, my mechanical heart is no longer mine, it belongs to the alien of blue.", he mumbled, eyebrows knitting together in confusion. KO and Enid went really quiet for a second, then Enid burst into hysterical laughter while KO got the hugest grin on his face.
 "Rad, do you know what this means?!?", he shouted, running up to his best friend with that starry look in his eyes again. "It means you're the one with the secret admirer! Oh man, I wonder who it is? It could be anybody, you're so cool and strong and who wouldn't like you?", he rambled, pacing around the floor quickly. Rad only scoffed, his cheeks darkening slightly. 
The note was crammed into his pocket, though, even as he insisted nobody with good enough taste to like him would confess through a cheesy poem. Still, for the rest of his shift he went about with a little, content grin on his face. Anytime his eyes would wander over to the growing collection of roses, that familiar flush would creep up the back of his neck and spread to his cheeks. 
KO began analyzing the notes from before, using his half hour break to call Dendy in for her genius. She brought some weird little machine along, and fed the two scraps of paper to it despite Rad's little cry of protest. "This is a highly developed machine I've constructed myself, Radicles. There is merely a 0.001% chance that the chemical processes the papers are going through could cause any sort of physical damage to their structure. Besides, you'll find that even if the papers are damaged, the results will more than make up for that.", she explained, looking up briefly to make sure he was following before looking back to the machine. 
Eventually, the screen went blank before it was filled with page after page of text. Dendy looked it over closely, KO grinning from ear to ear as he waited for the results. Enid seemed disinterested, as always, and seemed to be enamored by the bright screen of her phone as her fingers flew across the keyboard. 
"Judging by the prose your admirer uses, and the chemical traces my machine has detected on the paper... I would say your admirer is not only quite smitten with you, but he is also that of a mechanical nature.", she finally said, nodding slightly to herself. At Rad's blank look, Dendy sighed and reiterated, "Your secret admirer really likes you, and he's a robot." KO let out a huge gasp of surprise, while Rad seemed stunned into silence. "We don't even know that many robots! What if it's Darrel?!? Or... Or Mr. Boxman?!?", he cried, looking distressed at the thought of their arch nemesis having a crush on Rad. 
"Oh please, Mr. Boxman isn't even fully mechanical, he just makes robots. Besides, he's too busy fawning over his client to think of Rad like that.", Enid commented. She smirked as she sent off another text, then finally put her phone down. "It's clearly Raymond. Darrel doesn't have any other interests besides making his dad proud, and Raymond is the only robot we know that's cheesy enough to write poetry. And honestly, who else would use the word pine besides him?", she added, quirking an eyebrow at them all. 
Dendy seemed pleased enough with the results of her machine, and bid KO and his friends goodbye before she left. Rad was still in a state of shock, his brain still processing everything. Even when Mr. Gar came by and yelled at him for not working, he was slow to start stocking the shelves. KO was mildly worried for his best friend, and didn't understand how Enid seemed so calm and matter of fact about the whole situation.
 "Isn't... Isn't this bad, Enid?", he asked quietly, head tilted to the side in confusion. She tensed slightly at the question, and put her phone down once more so she could bring KO to eye level with her. "Why exactly would it be bad, KO?", she asked, keeping her voice low. A little worry crept into her chest when she could see KO struggling to put his thoughts into words. 
"Well... Rad's a good guy! And... And Raymond is a bad guy! I thought bad guys only liked bad guys and good guys only liked good guys!", he finally blurted out, immediately looking embarrassed. Enid let out a huge sigh of relief, glad that she wouldn't have to have /that/ conversation with KO. 
"Well... People don't decide who they like, KO. Neither do robots, I suppose. You just like who you like.", she explained, giving him a soft smile. KO nodded slowly, then brightened up almost immediately. "You mean like how you like Red Action-", he began, the rest of the sentence muffled when Enid clapped a hand over his mouth. "KO, you need to help Rad with the bottom shelves!", she demanded hurriedly, tossing him over to the super soft pillows on aisle seven. The little hero let out a happy cheer as he flew through the air, and landed with a nice bounce on the pillows. 
For nearly a whole month after that, the roses and poems weren't mentioned. KO tried to bring them up at one point, but a silent stare from Rad had him quickly changing the subject to a video Enid had shared. KO and Enid scoured the little store for another rose and poem, but always came up empty handed. That is, until KO went out back to take the trash out during Rad's break. 
He barely managed to withhold a gasp of surprise when he saw Raymond there, a smug look on his face as he presented Rad with a bouquet of roses. "Dude, I swear if you wrote more than one cheesy poem...", Rad threatened, the dark flush on his face instantly negating any intimidation he had going for him. "Why, Radicles my darling, you know the rules! One rose, one poem! And since I got you 12 roses...", Raymond trailed off, giving Rad a rather wicked grin. 
Rad let out a very flustered sound and snatched the roses away from Raymond, grumbling under his breath about annoying boyfriends. "I'll read them later, you giant nerd.", he said, the grin tugging at his lips causing KO to scream internally. His idol was an even bigger softie than he'd thought! "Well, I'm afraid I must deprive you of my presence, my darling! Might I steal one last kiss to remember you by?", Raymond asked, batting his eyelashes innocently. 
Rad rolled his eyes and pulled his boyfriend in for a quick kiss, pulling away a few seconds later with a flushed face. "You're literally going to see me at the diner in three hours, dude. I guess I can't blame you though. Three hours without me must seem like three days to you, Mr. 'Oh how I pine for thee'.", he teased. KO was then left to question how a robot could be capable of blushing as much as Raymond was able to blush. The robot in question left quickly after that, and Rad let out the most un-rad giggle before he turned around to head back inside. He froze when he saw KO standing there, a nervous sound passing his lips. 
"Rad...", KO began, shaking his finger at his idol in a scolding manner. "I can't believe you didn't tell me you guys were dating! How would I have known to start planning the wedding, huh?", he asked, giving Rad an upset look. Rad only sputtered in response, the thought of a wedding between him and Raymond too much for his poor brain to handle. Enid poked her head out the back door, looking mildly annoyed with both of them. "Dude, your break is over. Sneak kisses with your dorky boyfriend on your own time, not on store time.", she griped, pulling them both back inside after she kicked the trash into the garbage bin. 
As embarrassed as Rad was that KO had found out, and Enid had apparently known the whole time, he was mostly relieved that neither of them seemed upset by the fact that he and Raymond were together. In hindsight, he thought, he should've known from the beginning that they wouldn't care. When it came to their blue friend, all they ever wanted was for him to be happy. And if he was happy with a dorky, pun spouting robot, then who were they to judge? 
He couldn't help but smile as he clocked back in and went to work, a new spring to his step as he stocked the shelves. Enid and KO stopped looking for roses, and Rad stopped hiding them from everyone. The vase was once more full of beautiful roses, and the tension that had lingered in the shop had dissipated.
 Mr. Gar didn't really know what was going on, but he didn't question it because Rad was actually doing his work and getting it done on time. As long as his employees weren't doing drugs or slacking off, who was he to judge?

OK KO! Adoption Fanfiction
Life for one, Maxwell Boxman was not to be envied.Even if people said it was, that is full of glam and robot minions. That life for the level -10 villain was amazing, having all that fame and fortune
It really wasn’t.
If you were to ask one Maxwell Boxman how is life was, you would be in for a shock. He would tell you, no, that is not his life. That his life, was chaotic, he had four children, triplets who were fourteen and one six year old boy. That if you were to walk into his house,it’s not gold studded and he didn’t have diamond laying around. No, he had toys, action figures, baby dolls  and other electronic toys and clothes for vary stages of life for  children (boys grow so fast) laying around.
That most nights were peaceful, but, the sox year old would knock his door down if he kept it locked. Because the boogeyman, and other monsters lurked in the dark, under beds or in closets, didn’t you know ?Then said six year old ,even after being reassured there wasn’t any monsters,would sleep with him for the rest of the night, yes it was uncomfortable, but did he complain once ? No.
Why ?
Because to contrary belief, he was a dad before a villain, and he wouldn’t trade if for anything.
____
“DAD! WAKE UP!”
Jolting awake from his slumber Boxman did the first thing that came to mind, which in hindsight wasn’t such a good idea.
Panic.
Grabbing Shannon, Boxman started to blubber nonsense, “What is it ? Are we under attack ? Are your brothers okay ? Are you-”
“Daddy, i’m fine! Your alarm didn’t go off.” Wiggling out of her father’s grip “ I just woke you up because you have that meeting with, Professor Venomous today,y’know the big meeting you have been talking about for months ?” Just to make her point she made some jazz hands and pointed to the clock.
It read 9:45, he was supposed to be up by six! The professor would be here in two hours, what was he going to do ? Turning toward Shannon just beyond her shoulder through the window, was The Lakewood Plaza Turbo,perfect
“Shannon get your brothers, I don’t have time to make lunch, Put on your disguises we’re going to Gar’s.”
Getting the message, Shannon ran out of the room giving a short salute, and shutting the door behind her.
Now, what was he going to wear ?
____
“So, Coach is taking us to the bodega?”
“For the last time Raymond, just because he coaches your little league, does not make him your coach all the time.” Darrell said while putting a beanie on KO.
“Look, let’s just all get along or dad won’t even take us to the bodega. I mean come on this is the first time KO has actually been to the bodega let’s make this fun and not fight.” Shannon said while putting her shoes and then tying KO laces too.
With the bright smile KO always had plastered to his face, he continued the conversation with great enthusiasm. “ What’s the bodega even like ?! is it true they actually have drills in case dad attacks ? Do they really have a robot barber ? Did dad ever-”
“Well, KO you have to find out for yourself won’t you ?”
All at the same time the child and teenagers screamed “Dad!”
“Come on everybody, we need to go to the bodega before ,Professor Venomous shows up you know how he likes to always be early.”
And with that, all children in an orderly matter (shockingly) walked towards Gars bodega.
“Now, the rules: stay with each other at all times, make sure you do not get separated and do not talk to strangers. If you want to hero’s autograph ask nicely, yes I’m looking at you KO and do not let anybody figure out who you are and that’s the most important, now let’s go some fun huh ?”
____
“Bored, bored, BORED!”
“Oh my god, Rad we get it shut up!”
Glaring at Enid, Rad went back to work muttering under his breath, about ‘unfairness’ and something else she didn’t catch.
That’s when the weird family walked in. Not because they only had a dad, no, but because how they held themselves. Something like going to the bodega was the coolest thing ever.
There were four kids with the man in the trench coat. All of which just looked happy to be there, Rad and Enid kept a close eye on them. You never know when danger could just pop up, and these people were waving red flags at them. Just the way the family held themself was weird. It just got weirder when they checked out.
“Is this all, sir ?”
After his flickering eyes to the kids at the laser swords he shook his head yes.
“Yes, thank you .You have a good day,-” his eyes flashed to her name tag real quick “Enid, hm quite a lovely name, have a good day Enid.” Then turned away and walked to the kids.
“Uh you too sir, have uh, have a punchtastic day!”
“Enid! Did you just give that, guy a good day ?”
Turning to rad with a blush on her face she scowled at him “ Well, yeah! He didn’t seem or act like an idiot! Why wouldn’t I?”
Shaking his head laughing “Well, it’s just you, tell everyone to have a day and nothing else y’know ?”
Sinking into her chair Enid just sighed, and looked back at the man and kids, who seemed even more excited ? Was that even possible ? That when she notocied the man hand the eldest kids some money and the youngest a binder. He then gave them a kiss and walked out of the bodega.
Before she could question why, he would do that the youngest kid , who could be no more than six, found his way to the front desk in lighting speed.
“ Does Mr.Gar own the Bodega, is he here ?!” The kid was just bouncing a up and down when his siblings ran up behind him.
“KO! Don’t do that! Let us know where you go before running off!”
Enid taking her eyes off the kid, she looked at the girl scolding him. She was, mechanical and so were the boys behind her. Was the kid ,KO, the only organic child ?
“Ma’am? Do you know if Mr.Gar is here today ?”
Confused for a sec she just tried to sputter out an answer, but the bodega doors were smashed open by Mr.Gar.“I heard someone was asking about me, what is it ?” His gruff voice just seemed to fill the bodega, and the kids looked like they were going to jump out of there skin.“Mr.Gar! My name is KO,! could you sign your power card for me I’m a huge fan! It would mean a lot to me if you did!”At that Mr.Gar eyes bulged out, of his head,then M‘r. Gar did something unexpected he looked at the kid. 
Like he was a puzzle, that he was something to be solved. While in the background his sibling seemed to have taken this as a threat, as they were now in a fighting position.“I-uh sure, but tell me,truthfully, do you know who your mom is ?”KO looked confused for a sec, but he all the same answered the hero,” Yeah! She was silver-spark or Carol to her friends, why ?”“I-if you don’t mind me asking son, who is taking care of you right now?”“Lord Boxm-” Before KO even answer, that’s what his siblings decided to cover his mouth,and give Mr. Gar a ,glare as if he was the worst threat they have ever saw.“Look I’m gonna be honest with you kids, I’m pretty sure I know who you four are right? Lord Boxman’s kids Raymond Shannon and Darryl and it doesn’t surprise me that you KO ,with you now. Could you kids answer me a very important question?”Frozen stiff at being found out, the four just nodded their heads yes.
“Lord Boxman doesn’t do anything to hurt you right? He takes good care of you,he doesn’t care if you be a hero villain right? Its just-”
“Gene, you know you could just asked me right? How about me and you go talk in the back room,because obviously you needed to talk to the kids and not to me. When you actually needed to talk to me not the kids.”That’s when everyone turn their head to the man who seem to just have walked into the Bodega without being noticed. It was the same man that Rad and Enid, recognized him as the man they saw earlier was the same earlier, except he had a lab coat and his robotic side of his head good ,now he seemed perfectly fine and not stressed and he had a clawed chicken hand instead of a regular hand.
Lord Boxman
Blushing hard, their boss could only spotter out a few choice words as the villain drag him to the back of the store.
Leaving the kids in front of the store was awkward.They just didn’t know what to do. Talk? Yeah, no. Before it got even more awkward, both adults walked out of the backroom.
Mr. Gar spoke first “KO, Shannon, Raymond,Darrell? Would you like to work here ?”
And the rest was history, it seemed that that their dad just talked to Mr. gar about a few things that he would not reveal into a few years later. But all things well now they could work at the bodega and have a nice three job and have some extra spending money of course everyone was excited about it.
Besides , now Carols legacy can live up to his potential.
