I HAVE a Thought about jay walker and his comeback specifically in the next season. trying to understand the Psychology of these writers like i have a PHD in Ninjago writerology

i already have said that i really think cole is going to be the one to find jay, because of the whole set up in which nya said 'wu's voice led me to kai.' when cole starts hearing ghost wu talk. right. listen i will re-iterate that they genuinely wouldn't have had nya say this, if cole wasn't going to find..someone, because we (the audience) saw nya find kai! we watched it happen! we don't need to be told this disposition twice, unless its a reminder. which is also supported by how many times they mention something along the lines of '___ is still missing!'. and we know only two team members who are missing at this point. (three if you include Pixal, but i'd be so suprised if anyone but Zane finds her, if i know nj writers) i dont think it's going to be wu, because why would wu lead one of the ninja to himself when one of the team is still missing? wu will be found last, that is, if at all. so that leaves our guy.

but why cole? what is significant about cole finding jay? initially my one thing that was debunking this was this thought.. like why would they let cole run off on his own to get the silly guy back. especially if he made such a big deal out of staying back to protect geo and The Kids? but maybe the answer is actually pretty simple. maybe wu chose cole to do this, to get jay back, because it's canonly established that they are..they're just best friends? and guys, we all know what they say..

the best way to defeat ur enemy. yeah. u guys know. is to make them ur friend. micrdrop

maybe wu knows that jay has lost his memories, or his sense of self, and knowns that what it'll take to win him back is a close friend. we know cole canonly understands jay the best, (backed when he says 'dont try to lie to me, i know you two well')

another thing. it kind of just.. works? at the moment, cole is seperate from the rest of the team. like.. kai lloyd arin wildfyre nya sora are off doing their thing, zane and frohicky are back holding the fort, and cole is kinda rawdogging the merge by himself (+the found family). it makes sense for him to do this alone- plotwise (it's just neater. can u imagine the entire aformentioned gang pulling back up to admin trying to get him back? nightmare. wouldnt work) but also just because he's been basically separated this whole time.

i'd also like to imagine another crazy scene at the admin, where cole has to use his new powers to save jay out of corporate hell in some intense but also quite comedic way. but this is me getting ahead of myself. for now id like to leave this here

#ninjago dragons rising #but that is just a theory. #i will actually DIE on this hill of cole finding jay. he will. HE WILL #THE SET UP IS THERE #YOU GUYS #ninjago dragons rising spoilers #lego ninjago #jay walker #cole brookestone #ninjago jay #ninjago theory #ninjago hc #ninjago dr #ninjago dragons rising part 2

ANOTHER SILLY HEADCANON! Unfortunately this one doesnt have an illustration since my headache is getting worse, but i wanted to share this. Both wu and garmadon dont know when their own birthday was, not because they spawned into existence, but mostly because they both forgot it through out the thousand years they were apart. This mostly came because of the banishment, after that, wu and garmadon had their time to think, and had their own forms of regrets. Though not shown care in obvious ways, id like to think that they would both greet the other on their birthday, celebrate it even by merely sitting down alone and talking to the wind, as if it would carry their messages to their brother. This unfortunately caused them to forget their own birthdays, having no thought on celebrating them, but never forget the others birthday through out the years they were apart, they would take their own time and have their own way to celebrate it, garmadon would do so merely talking to the wind, greeting his brother through nothingness Wu would make a little cake, and have tea as he sits in the middle of the courtyard of the monastery, hoping thisll be enough, and hoping for the day he can celebrate with his brother again This also ends up with the scene of future seasons going- _______ lloyd: Actually, uncle- you never told us your birthday- wu, who completely forgot: ..uh- Garmadon, poking his head from the other room: ooh- ooh- ask me! Lloyd: ..alright, dad- whatsyourbirthday? Garmadon: Garmadon, also blanking:

#wu #master wu headcanon #garmadon headcanon #wu hc #master wu ninjago #ninjago wu #ninjago headcanon #garmadon #sillies #honestly theyre trying their best #lloyd is concerned #ninjago #lego #the other ninja are also concerned #lloyd realises he doesnt know his birthday either #at this point its a family curse #not knowing ur own bday

a headcanon where Mob boss lyod hansen meeting stripper reader in a club, who is a secretly an assassin from another mafia group and she is trying to kill him

Secret

Plot: a young assassin gets assigned a new mission, but with one of the most dangerous men in the state, the only solution is to try to fool him at his daily Night club which doesn't end up as planned.

Warnings: non consensual touching, dirty talking, teasing, talks of spanking, a little bit of man handling, smut but not a lot, thigh riding

"I told you I'm not doing it! What part about that do you not understand?!"

I took a deep breath in and Paced around my bedroom. Closing my eyes while rubbing my temple and pausing trying to process the irritated voice on the other side of the phone.

"You will do this misson [name], you will do it or, you can turn in your badge and give all your gear to me. If that's not what you want then I suggest you get it done. I'll send you the information."

He yelled at me frustratingly. his voice getting higher as he yelled through the phone, we've been going at this for about an hour now, and I will not back down.

I mean that's until he basically threatened me with firing me. He told me I need to do this because this guy is important and we need him out of the way or something like that.

What was his name again? Lance?, Landen?, Larry? It's all the same thing anyway. He's probably just a douche bag. I started yelling again.

"Wait n-"

And at that he hung up the phone, and a text popped up on my phone, to see a picture of a guy and a document, great now I don't have a choice.

I groaned and looked down at my phone in annoyance. Lloyd hansen? Wasn't that the guy with Sierra six or someone like that?

A started to read the document, so where would a guy like him be like anyway. Solitary confinement?

But the last thing I expected was a strip club. I know he's a guy and all, but wouldn't he have more important things to do Then watch woman dance in practically nothing?

So I'm going undercover...wait as a stripper? Not even a waitress the one where I have to have the least amount of clothing on?

I paused for a moment until I heard my door bell ring. Who could possibly need me at this time of day?

I opened the door, and looked down to find a package with a note on the front. 'Hope you enjoy your mission' what could that be? I grabbed the box and took it to my room, and opened it.

I pulled out a light pink bra with a white Lacey mini skirt and white knee high socks with a bow placed at the top of each of them.

Um does he expect me to wear this? In front of this pervert? But I mean unless I don't wanna keep my job, I have to do this. It'll probably be over in a minute anyway.

4 hours later

I hug my body as I walk down the crowded street with a thick jacket on. I look up to see a bright pink neon sign with flashing lights that says 'girls, girls, girls' how original. I look over to see a door that says 'employees only' I walk over and try to open the door. It's locked.

I knock on the door and a woman with short brown hair and a nice button up shirt opens it, and they must have recognized me because they didn't check for any ID or qualification. Oh well.

She walks over to me and pulls out a gun handing it to me.

"Here, he's in the VIP section on the couch you'll see him. We reserved a stage for you, you're up in 10 minutes, so get ready."

And at that she walked away. 10 minutes? I should get ready then.

Take off my coat, and brush my hair out. Fixing the lip gloss, and the light mascara slightly smudged against my eye. Easy fix, I look down at my clock and realize I only have 4 minutes left. Shit.

I run out to the back of the stage, and take a deep breath. Wait, I don't know how to pole dance? I quickly take a look at the other girls and see them basically doing the same thing. Ok I guess I'll just slide around, and try to act sexy, or whatever that means.

Walking out on the stage; I take a quick look around. Everyones looking at me. Suddenly the music starts playing. I jump slightly, and make my way over to the shiny pole. It's fine right? I'll just copy what the other girls do.

Glancing over, to the VIP section I see that guy? Lloyd I'm pretty sure. I end up staring at him I mean who wouldn't he looks way better in person then in the pictures.

His porn star mustache, and his broad muscular figure was to suiting for him. I attempt to dance a little more. And the music finally stops, I walk off the stage and try to walk past him.

He grabs my arm and looks me up and down seductively, I can feel him undressing me with his eyes. He's hot though.

"Do you give private dances princess?"

I look down at him at smile Slightly and touched his arm.

"Of course, follow me"

He smiled and grabbed your hand, the size difference was huge; I weirdly felt weak and vulnerable. Now I was really nervous.

Luckily I already knew where the private rooms were, I opened the door, and led him in. I turned around, getting situated.

I heard a door close behind me, and arms wrap around my waist. I could feel his breath against my ear softly chuckling.

"You're not a dancer are you?"

I paused and stood still

"Um I don't know what you mean sir, I-"

"Don't lie to me sunshine, I know you're a good girl, so act like it would you?"

Shit. Maybe I can still play it off.

"I really don't know what you're talking about sir, I-I don't know what you want from me."

He tucked my hair behind my hair, and looked down at my with a smug look on his face.

"Don't play dumb sweetheart, I know your lying to me, except I don't know why, so be a good girl, and just confess to me hm?"

Well my covers blown now. Pulled a gun out of the top of my skirt, kicked him in the stomach, and pointed it at him.

He chuckled, and started to circle me

"Thought you were a good girl princess, I think you deserve a spanking don't you think?"

What the fuck was this guy on? I need him alive, but I couldn't focus with the warmth in between my legs spreading throughout my entire body. I squished my thighs together, which apparently did not go unnoticed.

"Aw honey I know you're dressed like a slut, but I didn't know you actually were one"

He grabbed me by the waist, and yanked the gun from my hand. He was way bigger, and stronger then me; no way I could fight him off, but I tried.

After trying to kick him multiple times, and wrench my body out of his grip, he threw me to the ground, he smacked my head against the wall, and then eventually. I gave up.

I sunk Into his body, and let him throw me on the couch, I was to tired to fight back.

"I know you're tired princess, and I hate to hurt you pretty girl, but you need to learn your place don't you baby?"

I leaned back, but still after all that; I could feel the warmth in between my legs growing.

He grinned and sat down on the couch next to me stroking my leg he put me in his lap and kissed me softly. He pulled away and started to play with my hair.

"And I'll even forgive you..But for all the trouble you caused me, you have to cum for me right now.

My eyes widened, he chuckled, and grabbed my waist putting me on his thigh.

"What? You thought I didn't see you squeezing your pretty thighs together like a whore?"

I felt his thigh flex against me, I let out a tiny moan. I unconsciously started grinding against his muscular thigh. It felt so good; I couldn't stop even I'd I tried.

"Mm that's it pretty girl grind against me, you're so good for me aren't you?"

At this point I was desperate for a release, I moaned louder and tried to push myself into him more.

"I know, I know, keep going you're being such a good girl, I'm so proud of you princess"

He stroked my face, and pushed his fingers past my lips. And started sucking on my tits. I instantly wrapped my lips around his fingers, and sucked on them. Grinding harder onto his thigh While hanging onto his broad shoulders.

"That's it keep sucking, you have such pretty lips princess"

I felt a warmth in my stomach building up slowly, I moaned around his fingers, and dug my hips in his thigh.

"M gon cum"

My voice was muffled by his fingers in my mouth

"Go ahead sunshine"

He rubbed my waist up and down, I felt a tight warmth in my lower stomach building up, and then released.

He stroked my head, and kissed my forehead smiling.

"you did so good princess, I know naive little girls like you have a hard time knowing what there place is, but it's ok I'll always be here to remind you baby doll"

He laid me down on the couch, and gave me a soft kiss on the lips.

"I gotta go honey, but I mean you did make a mess on me, so I have business, and get a new pair of pants, I'll see you later [name] maybe I'll visit you again hm?

I laid down on my side, and curled up when a thought interrupted me. Wait? I never told him my name? Now that I think about it. I've seen him a lot of places I've just never gave him a second glance. Has lloyd been stalking me?

A/n:Hope you liked that guy's, I'm trying to post as much as I can, but I've been busy, so please bare with me!

Oh yeah no im definitely not done talking about Lloyd and Zane's dynamic in my elemental roulette au. Heres some more brainrot for the road

The basic gist of this au is that instead of fire, earth, ice, and lightning, the elements of creation are fire, earth, water, and air. So now the starting ninja lineup consists of Kai, Cole, Nya, and Morro. Of course, Jay and Zane do eventually join the team as well, and they are still elemental masters, but their trajectories are a teensy bit different. For instance, Jay starts out as Samurai X

In the original canon, Wu recruited Zane while in the process of tracking down masters of the core elements of creation. But in this au, ice isnt an element of creation, which means Wu has no reason to seek him out. This means Zane stays homeless, which means he and Lloyd end up homeless at the same time

So yeah Zane and Lloyd cross paths and bond over their shared circumstance, then decide to stick together

Zane has amnesia, he doesnt know who he is or where he came from and ultimately doesnt have much direction in life, but finally finds a sense of purpose in looking after Lloyd. So he decides to kinda just follow around this weird feral child he found

Lloyd tries to maintain a strictly professional villain-henchman relationship at first, but quickly grows very fond of his new buddy and a strange connection fosters between them

So now youve got Lloyd, a chaotic 10-year-old who is determined to steal candy, take over the world, and be a general punk/emo nuisance...and then theres his supposed henchman, a chronically confused amnesiac robot who bakes cookies in his spare time

Lloyd is his usual edgy, black-cape-wearing self whose main objective is to steal candy, and Zane is...well, hes confused, but hes got the spirit

"Yes, Lloyd, of course you can steal candy, but make sure to steal some vegetables too! Youre a growing boy, after all :)"

In this au, Zane doesnt remember his real name (for a number of reasons i wont bother you with). So Lloyd naturally takes it upon himself to give him one. It ends up being a kind of Jason Funderberker situation, where Lloyd comes up with new names for Zane pretty much on a daily basis, but all the names have the vibe of a 10-year-old boy naming his first hamster. So the ninja are like, "hey wait a minute, i thought your henchman's name was Carl???" And Lloyd just goes, "uh yeah, but that was *yesterday*. Today his name is Burgermeister 3000. Times change. Keep up, losers."

Jay: dont you hate having this kid call you a different horrible name every single day?

Zane: i didnt used to have any name at all. Now i have 50. This is an improvement

Id like to think Lloyd gets very disappointed when he discovers that his friend's name is Zane of all things. He thinks its a dumb name, and only begrudgingly uses it bc he knows how important this is to Zane

The falcon still leads them to the Bounty, but at this point only Lloyd and Zane are living there so now theyve got a super cool Evil LairTM. Also the falcon lives with them as their funky robot pet, and its all rather wholesome in a bizarre, unhinged sort of way

There are a lot of possibilities for how and why Lloyd releases the Serpentine in this au, and I havent made any conclusive decisions yet, but one of my favorites is this:

Zane: what the one thing i told you not to do while i was out running errands? Lloyd: release the serpentine

Zane: and what did you do??

Lloyd: ...release the serpentine...

I wont go into a lot of detail about the Serpentine and whatnot since a lot of it is still undecided, but for now i just really like the concept of kid!Lloyd and Zane getting up to shenanigans. Also, while we're here - when Lloyd confronts the Ice Emperor in ns11, he tries to snap him out of the Scroll's control by reminding him of all the adventures they shared together back when it was just the two of them. Someone hold me while i weep

The One That Got Away: Part. One

A/N: Hey everyone! Sorry this one took a while to get going. I was stuck for a while, trying to get it going. But here it is! I hope eveyone is having a blessed morning!

Characters: (Past) Mob Lloyd Hansen x Reader, (Now) Mob Ari Levinson x Reader, Mob Lloyd Hansen x Maria Cantoni (OC)

Before I shut up, I just wanted to thank these beautiful ladies and for helping me beta this chapter! @adulting-sucks @hollybee8917 and @princessofdarkwinter​ 

Love you guys!

Also, the only warning in her is SMUT! 

Two Years Later

Lloyd Hansen lay in his study after a long day of work dealing with the many clubs he owned. His wife had called him and texted asking when he would come home. He usually gives her a vague answer or doesn’t reply at all, and he hopes she takes the hint, which she does.

He felt terrible for not giving her the attention she craved, but he married her on his father’s orders. She was a lovely pretty lady that every man would want to marry, a train to housewife by her family. But she lacked something that he couldn’t pinpoint. Intimacy was non-existent; the only time that id with her was on their wedding night when both families made sure to have people guarding outside to make sure it happened. She had tried many times after, but Lloyd always made excuses to avoid it. 

The day you left him two years ago broke him completely. He knew he broke the promise he had made you, the promise of the world, and always be yours forever, and here he is now with another woman he called wife that is not you.

Maria Cantoni was her name, the daughter of his late father’s best friend. It was written and agreed upon that they would get married when they reached their age. In the beginning, Lloyd didn’t like her, and she didn’t like him. It went on for years till one day, things changed, and she began to have a different personality from him. During that time, he met you, and his life was changed.

But of course, here he was now, husband to Maria. There were times he had tried to be a faithful husband and, of course, tried to accept his fate. He occasionally comes home with flowers or some small gift for her. If he remembers a good morning and good night kiss. But it never settled with him because he always hoped it would be you.

His thought shifted and was now filled with you. God, he missed you. You could handle his short temper, impulsive nature, anger problems, etc. You had your way of controlling him, and he liked it cause you kept him grounded. Of course, the argument would get heated, and you both would never give in but he always would be the one that gives in at the end and of course, the angry makeup sex was the best. 

He heard a knock interrupting his thoughts. Anger came on when the door opened, only to see his wife, Maria.

“Lloyd, you’re home-“

“I thought I told you no one is allowed in here!” Lloyd yelled, getting up from the couch.

“I’m sorry, but you haven’t replied to my calls-“

“Get out!” Lloyd yelled. Maria’s eyes started to water, but he didn’t care for some reason.

“DIDN’T I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?! GET OUT NOW!” Lloyd yelled once more. Maria slammed the door and ran; Lloyd felt no remorse for making her cry.

 **

Beep

Beep

Your alarm went off. You moaned, rolling over onto your back. Rubbing your eyes, you felt a pair of warm solid arms against you. You smiled and turned to face him, his thick beard, long dark brown hair, and blue eyes. He smiled, and your heart melted.

“Morning, beautiful.” His rich baritone came. You placed your hand on his cheek and reached over to place a morning kiss on his plump and very kissable lips. Pulling away, Ari placed his forehead against yours.

You lay in the arms of your best friend. Since Lloyd had broken your heart, you never thought you’d find someone else. You didn’t know that you would be here in this place OR that you and your best friend decided to explore more than just friendship. 

Ari had been there for you. He told you that he would be there for you since you unexpectedly showed up at his house. What you didn’t expect was to fall for him. 

One night, you found Ari in the backyard after putting little Penny to bed; one thing led to another, and here you were. The only difference, though, is that you now wore a ring. A ring that was not from the man you thought it would be from. When Ari asked you about your life with Lloyd one night, you told him that you had moved on and that it was the past. That allowed Ari to fill the cracks Lloyd had left.

Before anything could happen, your phone rang, and you sighed. You reach over to see a message. You clicked on it, and you sat up immediately.

“It’s from Carrie, the nurse at Mass Gen Children's Hospital,” you said. Ari sat up and raised his eyebrow.

“Is everything all right?” Ari asked as you continued reading the message.

“We need to head to the hospital as soon as possible. She’s heading into chemo and crying,” you said, throwing your phone back onto the bed as you got up.

“Y/N-“

“I knew I should have stayed, but Carrie told-“

“Y/N, Penny is in good hands; mark my word,” Ari said, knowing how powerful he was.

You paused and turned around to see Ari getting out of bed in only his jammie pants. As much as you loved that Ari was built like a Greek God, you had to get to the hospital.  Ari looked at you and laughed as he walked past you into the bathroom.

“The bathroom is open!” Ari yelled.

You bit your bottom lip and went inside, closing the door behind you. You saw something that always made your ovaries explode: your man, walking into your rather large shower, built muscle, and his ass screaming for you to squeeze it; his tattoos always made you drool.

He placed his large, strong hands against your cheeks as his thumbs rubbed against your soft skin. You began to undress and walked into the steamy shower. You closed the door behind you and were immediately thrown against the cold tiles.

“God, I love you so much,” Ari said, crushing his lips against yours. You moaned against his mouth as his tongue forced its way into yours as your hands traveled down his delicious torso to his hardening cock. You wrapped your tiny hands around his thick length and began to stroke him.

Ari pulled his kiss away from your lips as he traveled down your neck and hit your spot. You let out a small, light moan as he sucked your skin on your favorite spot. He went down to your breasts as he took one nipple in his mouth, the other groped with his free hand. His tongue swirled around your hardening nub, causing you to scream in pleasure as he bit down, making your head go back.

You let go of his cock as you looked up at Ari, his piercing blue eyes filled with lust. Licking your lips, you kneeled before him, his cock strained in front of you. You started at the bottom of his shaft and licked your way up to his spongy head. You swallowed him whole as Ari let out a primal growl, his hands wrapped around your head. You sucked, slurped, and went in deep, his tip hitting the back of your throat.

“Fuck baby-“ Ari moaned as he leaned his head back. You pulled away, and Ari helped you back onto your feet. He kissed you once more and then turned you around, your hands on the wall, as he spread your legs apart. His fingers brushed against your spine, making you shiver. He held his heavy cock in his hands and ran it against your dripping pussy. You let out a loud hiss as he entered you, his length stretching you as he filled your hole. His hands gripped your shoulders as he began to thrust into you, enjoying the warmth of the shower as you both rode out your endings. 

**

You arrived at the hospital alone as your driver pulled up, sad that Ari had to be in the office, but he would meet you later. You got out as Sammy followed you, along with Curtis, as you walked into the Oncology Department of  Mass Gen Children’s Hospital. You had her favorite Pooh Bear and her favorite blankie in your hands. Waving to the staff, you paused for a second in front of the last door before you opened it. You saw her nurse Carrie, reading to her while she sat on her bed. Carrie looked up and smiled, causing your daughter to turn, her big bright smile coming through.

“Mama!” she said with joy, despite all that had happened to her. You felt your heart break but put on a brave face for your little girl.

“Hi, Penny Bear!” you said as you walked towards her, her Pooh Bear in front of you. Her hazel eyes glowed, and she clapped her hands.

“Poo Bear!” she said happily as you bent down and kissed her forehead.

“Were there any changes today before I came?” you asked, sitting next to Penny, who laid her head next to you. You hoped that it was good news today, but by the look on Carrie’s face, it wasn’t good.

“Unfortunately, it hasn’t changed, but we are still looking for a donor for her,” Carrie said.

“And I’m grateful for that,” you said sadly as Carrie got up and placed her hand on top of hers.

“I’ll be outside if you need anything,” she said as she made her way out the door. Once the door closed, you looked down at your daughter, thoughts of Lloyd in your mind. It had been years since you’d last thought about him. You’d moved on, but your daughter had his blood; sometimes, you were tempted to call him, but you couldn’t bring yourself to make that call.

He broke your heart and promises, and nothing can patch that wound up. Even when you love another man, you know that scar is still there.

He was married to another woman, but you couldn’t contact him because you were now tied to Ari, and the Hansen Family and Levinson Families were enemies

His Sunshine, Chapter 2

Word Count:  1.8k

Warnings:  murder, mentions of gun violence, mentions of blunt trauma,  mentions of anger/aggression, manipulation. 

Three Years Ago

“So where are the two of you going?”

I shivered, leaning into Six’s side as the creepy man who was supposed to forge some identification for us glanced at me in a very leading way.  His arm wrapped tighter around my waist and it felt almost as though he were protecting me from a new threat; one that he hadn’t anticipated, “is it any of your business?”

“Just saying…most pretty young things aren’t …this young…unless they have something to hide.  But then again…you don’t come to me for normal things, Six…do you?”

“She’s sixteen,” he grumbled, pushing a wad of money at the man, “Just get us our fucking information, keys.”

“What are you thinking of, Sunshine?”

The man smirked, handing off the sets of ID and passports, “Just a sweet young couple…newlyweds.  Hope that’s alright for ya, six?”

“Fine!” he said firmly, ripping them out of the man’s hands and shoving them in the bag.  He tossed him a smaller wad of cash and looked to me, “we have to leave…now.”

And we were quick to leave the set of tunnels that led us down to his little underground hideaway.  My left arm throbbed, and I knew that it was my soul mate mark. 

My heart yearned for the beautiful, dark man who I’d met.  The one who was coming for me. 

The fact that it throbbed meant that it was closer than Six was probably comfortable with…which was why we were running away so swiftly. 

Because of him.

Lloyd Hansen.

I touched my arm out of pure instinct and I felt a fire igniting in my belly.  My stomach became warm, and it felt like a comfort.  Like his arms would wrap around me and keep me safe if I uttered his name. 

Six ripped my right hand away from my forearm and shot me a glare.

The fire disappeared, and it was like I was left alone in the cold. I frowned and he shook his head.

“I told you not to do that,” he growled at me, “when you do that, he can feel you.  He can’t have you…and a man like him, trust me when I say that you don’t want a man like him as your soul mate sweetheart.  We can’t let him get to you, Sunshine!”

“Sunshine.”

I looked up to six who was sitting across from me at the small café table.  His brow was raised at me as he studied me, his coffee long forgotten. 

“I-I’m sorry.  What were you saying?”

“You look lost in thought…what are you thinking about?”

“S-sorry.  This is all just so new…I’m not used to this.”

“What is?  Being in Paris?”

“I thought we were going to South America.”

“Why did you tell him we were going to South America on our honeymoon?” I asked nervously, stopping him from dragging me along to the main street.

“Sunshine, we have to go!”

“I want to know the truth, six?  Why that weird man?  Why the fake information?  Why all the lies?  What’s so dangerous about Lloyd Hansen.”

He rushed me, putting his hand over my mouth, “don’t say his  name…not when we’re still in Keys’ domain…if he hears he-“

“Well tell me then…why, Six?”

“If I told him that I was hiding you in Paris…if Lloyd gets to him…Sunshine…you’re far too young and innocent to understand the type of man that your soul mate is.  But he is dangerous….and he’s got a reach that he’ll use to find you.”

“Then explain it to me!”

“One day…when you’ve grown up…I will.”

“Why won’t you tell me about Lloyd?”

He frowned, “we aren’t talking about him, Sunshine?”

“I want to…” I said slowly, “you’ve been hiding me in Paris for a few weeks now…and we still haven’t seen my parents…is Lloyd really so bad?  I-is he as dangerous as you’re saying?”

“Stop saying his name and drink your coffee…we’re supposed to be blending in.”

“I want some answers, six.”

He shot me a look, and my gaze went to my espresso.  I sighed, looking at the dark liquid, my thoughts going back to him.

“You’ve had nearly a whole pot of coffee, Lloyd,” I giggled sweetly as I leaned against the counter and admired him.  There was something about him and it made me feel like a moth to a flame as I became entranced by the stranger, “are you going to order anything other than that?  I feel like if you don’t eat, you’ll start bouncing off the walls soon enough.”

“I don’t need a thing to eat…not when the sweetest thing in town’s been giving me her company all afternoon.”

I blushed and looked away from him, “Mr. Hansen…you’re trying to charm me…aren’t you?”

“It depends on if it’s working or not.”

“And if it was?”

I barely got to answer when my father came through the kitchen doors and stopped dead in his tracks.  Lloyd gave him a shit-eating grin from the counter, and I turned, quickly grabbing the coffee pot and re-filling his cup.

“Well hey there, Frank…long time no see.  See you got a sweet little thing working the counter for ya!”

“Lloyd.”

“D-do you know him, daddy?”

“Daddy?” Lloyd asked playfully, taking a sip of his coffee, “I didn’t know you had a little girl, Frank…and one so beautiful at that…”

“Sunshine, go to the kitchen and help your mother with the pastries.”

“Oh…but Lloyd didn’t get to order.”

“Oh, Lloyd knows exactly what he wants,” Lloyd said with a smirk as he looked at my father.  Then he turned his attention back to me, “go on Sunshine…help your mother with the pastries…we can always chat later…okay?”

“Okay,” I smiled sweetly, “I’ll see you later, Lloyd.”

“I’ll see you later, Sunshine.”

Six’s phone dinged and he looked at it nervously before turning his attention towards me, “we have to go…grab your coffee…we have to go now!”

“But, I-“

He ignored my protests and grabbed my arm.  We were racing through the crowded Parisian streets, and in a blur we were at the safehouse, running up the steps, “pack one bag, Sunshine…whatever it is that you think you need, get it now.  We’re leaving in five minutes.”

“Fi-five minutes?” I asked quickly, following him as he went to his own room.  He grabbed a laptop and opened it, typing in an encryption.  I gasped as a screen came up, “s-six…what is that?”

“You want to know what is so dangerous about your soul mate…here,” he grunted, catching on that I wasn’t going to pack a bag, “this is why you need to run from Lloyd Hansen.”

My breath caught in my throat. 

The men that had been with my parents were bound and gagged, right next to my parents, who were tied to chairs.  My father had blood running down a cut on his brow.  Lloyd stood in front of him, a gun in his hand, “where the hell is she, Frank?”

“I-I don’t know, Lloyd!” he sobbed.  Lloyd growled and thrust his arm down, catching my father with the butt of his gun.  I jumped hearing the heavy thud, my heart racing.  Lloyd walked over to my mother and held his gun out at her head, “We-we don’t know.  Please…we don’t have her…”

“Well then…ain’t that a damn shame!” he growled, pulling the trigger.

My eyes went wide, and a small whimper came from my chest as my mother’s frame slumped in her chair.  I felt like I was going to be sick watching the events unfolding. 

“Want to try again, Frank?” he yelled in my father’s face.  My father began to sob even hard until Lloyd grabbed his chin, “I don’t appreciate being fucked with, Frank.  I want Sunshine.  I want my god damned soul mate.  SO STOP HIDING HER FROM ME!”

“I don’t know where she is!”

“You know what, Frank…I believe you…I really do,” he frowned dropping my father’s face.  He went back and leaned against a table, sighing to himself, “and that’s unfortunate…because that makes you absolutely useless to me…”

“Lloyd, please.”

“Because you’re her father…I’ll make it painless,” he said firmly, “I gave the same courtesy to your wife…just know…I’m very disappointed in what you did…you’re causing your daughter, and our future children to be deprived of a loving set of grandparents.  But that’s all fine…I suppose…one less loose end.  It’ll just be her and I…and our  perfect little children…don’t worry…I won’t paint you as the villains that you are, by keeping her from me.”

And with that he pulled the trigger. 

I gasped as my father’s body slumped as well. 

“Gentry had to have told one of them something about their next move,” Lloyd growled, glaring at the three people who’d been assigned to watch over my parents, “take them to the room.  See who wants to talk.”

My heart raced, and it felt like I was going to have a panic attack.  My arm naturally reached for my mark, and Lloyd stopped moving.  He froze for a moment before turning and looking at the camera.  I shuddered as I felt the warmth flooding my stomach yet again.  He put his gun down on the table and took a few steps forward, his own hand reaching to caress his mark. 

A shiver ran up my spine, and I felt a deeper connection that I had ever felt before.  It felt like I could reach out and touch him.

“I didn’t want to do it, sunshine,” he said quickly, his eyes lighting up as he stared at the camera, “but he forced my hand.  They all did…I’m not mad at you…I want you to know that.  I just want you here with me.  I want my  little soul mate by my side…I just want you to be safe, Sunshine…tell me where you are, baby…we can do all the things you ever dreamed…side by side…”

“SHIT!” six hissed, pulling my hand from my mark, “Damn it sunshine, what did you do-“

“You think showing her who I really am will scare her away, Gentry?” Lloyd scoffed, “Sunshine is mine…her heart…her soul…even her sweet little body belongs to me.  I am her comfort.  I’m her happiness…she feels it when she touches that mark…al the love we have for one another…it won’t change that…give her back to me, Gentry and this all goes away.  Your agency will only protect you for so long…and you know who comes when they are done with you…so just be smart for once and give her to me.”

I took a few steps back, not wanting to see what was going on anymore.  My heart and head were in two places.  I watched as he gently touched his mark.  My breath hitched in my chest momentarily, “I’m going to tear him and everything he loves apart for taking you from me, Sunshine…he ruined everything…but don’t you worry your pretty little head…once I have you in my arms…once I know you are safe, he’s got a bullet from me with his name on it.”

Hey!!!!!

Ok first things first I love your stories normally I am not a fan of angst but the way you write your angst stories are amazing!!!! Literally had me crying lol 😂

I was wondering if you could write a Seirra Six/Court Gentry x daughter??? I have never read one before

Maybe something like she is around 5 - 6 and Lloyd kidnaps her as leverage (has her for maybe a week) and while he on the phone with Six, she starts crying because she wants her dad and Six hears her. Now that Court knows who has her he is able to rescue her. Then when he does rescue her they are both just happy to be together again.

Thank you and this is 100% your choice 💜

Leverage

Pairings: Court Gentry/Sierra Six x Daughter!reader

Content/Warnings: kidnapping, guns, some language, hospitals, not proofread, Lloyd Hanson lmao

WC: ~700

A/N: I told y’all id be back more. <3 THANK YOU to the awesome anon who requested this. I really hope you enjoy and thank you so much for your kind words. I hope it's okay that I ended up making y/n a liiiil bit older. no older than 12 is what I feel but idk y’all use your imagination. Enjoy!

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST ELSEWHERE - THIS IS MY ONLY ACCOUNT

“It’s okay- It’s me, it’s me.” He turned you around to face him but still had his hand covering your mouth. “You’ree safe now, y/n.” The sight of his familiar blue eyes put you at ease. “Its alright. Im gonna remove my hand now but I need you to be quite, okay?” You nodded in response. Once he let go you let out the biggest breath trying to calm you down, but for some reason it did the exact opposite. He opened his arms for a hug, knowing you might crash any second. Without words or warning, you fell into his grasp, silently letting out gentle cries and whimpers into him, soaking his shirt with your tears. He pulled you away, “I’m gonna get you out of here but I need you to listen to every world I say, Okay?” You nodded in response between hiccups. He grabbed your hand and the both of you ran out of the room.

You ran through the vacant building with your dad. Everything felt like an unsteady rollercoaster. Flying through the estranged emptiness and running down flights of stairs as fast as your feet could carry you. You had a death grip on your dad’s hand, but even that wasn’t enough to keep you two together when Lloyd pulled you away.

One arm was placed around your neck and the other around your waist to try and restrain you from escaping. He walked backwards so he could still face your father. Whatever he was planning, Lloyd wanted Six to have a front row seat.

“What a reunion!”

“What do you want Lloyd?” He showed a sly grin. “You took everything from me. My job, my friends, my fucking finger.” He lifted his hand. “What do you think I could possibly want? I want you to repent, and suffer the way I did”

“Whatever you want from me doesn’t involve y/n. Let her go and we’ll talk.” Lloyd let out a fake laugh. “You’re a really funny man. Gosh what a funny joke- No I think I’ll kill her.” He said, Raising the gun to your temple. Cries and screams filled the air as you pleaded for release. “Lloyd, you don't wanna do this.”

“Oh I think I do.”

He cocked the gun. The scared and panic levels reached their all time high, as you feared for your life for what seems like the 100th time today. A shot went off. You were knocked to the ground. You were waiting for it to come, some jolt of instant pain or something, but you never felt anything. The last thing you remember was your dad holding you. His voice sounded muffled and you were still on the ground. That’s when everything went dark.

You woke up lying in a hospital bed. Wires and tubes layer horizontally across your whole body. Panic made way and settled in.A feeling that has shown itself frequently but no matter how much, it never gets easier. Your dad was by your side. His words sounded muffled again but they slowly made their way to formation. “Y/n. Can you here me sweetie? How do you feel? You alright?” A bright light shined in your eye. Another voice appeared. “She’s okay. I’ll give you two a minute.”

“Thanks, Doc.”

Once the door closed you started with your questioning while trying to sit up. “What the hell happened?”

“Woah, sweetie. Be careful. You were shot.”

Despite your fathers worry, you sat up and continued. “Is this purgatory or something?” That made your father laugh a little.

“No. We’re at the hospital. You were taken into emergency surgery. The bullet missed your brain, in fact it barely wen through your skull. Doctors say you’ll make a full recovery though. You’re safe now, y/n”

“Is…is he gone?” Your father sighed. “I took care of it.” He said, hesitantly. That statement alone could mean a plethora of different things, but you trusted your father. At the end of the day, all that mattered was that you were safe and healthy. Recovery would inevitably take a long while, but as long as your dad was with you, you had faith it would all be okay.

Monumental Management of 'M' Words

@mrsmungus , my marvelous mutual, please accept my modest message in response to your masterfully manipulated monologue. It was truly a magnificent marriage of meticulous mechanics and methodical melodies, meshed into a miraculous manifestation of literary mastery. My reply will be meager at most. At least, between Harold’s malevolent manifesto and Glen’s mounds of medicinal marijuana, I should be able to maintain a moderately measured influx of alliterative mayhem without getting too monotonous.

Although, I must admit, I may now have made it my mission to unlock the ‘Find your Alliteration’ achievement. Challenge accepted. I also have three more instances of it, myself, but none that these words match up with.

My Words: Magic, Mystery, Mood, Money, Mature

Your Words: Never, Night, Nonsense, Nervous, Naked

Anybody else out there - feel free to jump in if you are so inclined! Just throw in an '@' and let us know! Open to all!

Magic

(I honestly expected more being that I'm adding much more magic than called for. I went with the first one that seemed to hit an extra alliterative note.)

“ID?”

Harold froze in his spot by the entrance; he hadn’t anticipated the issue. He should have. Why should it be any different here? He was barely an adult to them. Certainly below drinking age. Sure they had monsters and magic, but they also had a societal structure much like their own. Why wouldn’t they have ridiculous restrictions like the ones he was used to.

“He’s with me, Bronx.”

“That ain’t how it works, Max…”

“Sure it is.”

Tension would have been high if Max actually gave a shit about his jurisdiction here. As it was, there was only an odd type of silence as she raised her eyebrows in a challenge, an annoyed stare down that the smaller woman had no intention of dropping anytime soon. Every minute out here was a moment she was held back from the mayhem inside, and he knew that was nothing she was going to humor for long.

Mystery

"Motherfuck, Din! You can't just go starting fucking fires and shit! Fuck!

"I was JUST GETTING WARM!" Dinny's face started to take on a red color as large tears began to well up and pour down his face. Sobs broke out into a full blown fit, and Lloyd just picked up the speed of his frantic pacing.

The unknown woman turned back to her. "There anybody else with you?"

The question pulled Hayden back to the moment, and her eyes widened as the thought sunk in.

"Fuck! Yes, uh, five others…."

"Where?"

She turned to their mystery rescuer but realized she wasn't sure where everybody had decided to spend the night; she was already in the room when sleeping quarters were established. Glen thankfully was already aware.

"Two in the room next to us. Three in those two rooms."

Despite the vast age difference, a leadership position was clearly being taken by the new addition, and Hayden instantly noticed the ease at which she did it. Again, she started at Glen first.

"You stay here and get them to calm the fuck down." She didn't wait for a response after addressing him, and Hayden instantly felt her gaze jump to her. "You get over to that one. I'll get these two rooms."

Mood

Her smile returned in full now; it was hard not to be in a good mood around Teddy.

He continued on, "So anything you're really excited for?"

"Honestly, Teddy, not really sure. Glen would say cold beer, but I really don't know..."

It suddenly occurred that she really wasn't looking forward to much. All of her memories were after Trips, power being absent in most of them. Candlelight dinners in their home, painting landscapes in the outskirts, smoking by their fireplace as Glen told tales from his past... And there were the nights they would both come back late from committee duties. A fire would be started, hot tea setting at the ready, and he would find a good book. Fantasy, sci-fi, even poetry. He’d read aloud and she would massage any aching muscles he had, losing herself in the story and his voice… Power wasn't needed for any of this; she just needed Glen.

When she really thought back on it, most of her memories with power were spent at the CDC. The only other time there was power before Boulder was the night she first met Glen. Good company for sure, food, music…

"I guess music. We’ve been using the stereo sparingly, but yeah, I'd like to hear more music."

"Hell yeah! That's going to be great too. Movies, cold beer, and music. The stuff that makes it all worth it."

She laughed, but couldn't fully agree. She left what made it all worth it back at the meeting hall, and the way she left it started to nag at her.

Money

(Almost all of my money references are about betting - 'I'd put money on' 'smart money says'. Only two times was it about actual currency.)

"I was talking to Stu earlier, about the plan to go to Colorado."

Nodding in understanding, Hayden was relieved to jump into a relevant conversation that she could actually have input on. Not everybody had Glen's ability to bullshit about everything and anything. Certainly not her.

Hayden jumped in, "I'm gonna take a stab and say you already knew why we were heading there."

Fran looked down and shrugged sheepishly. "I honestly thought I was going crazy."

"Yeah, we all did. Stu was the one to put it together. Glen insisted Mother A. was from a commercial." She shook her head at the memory. Maybe it helped that she didn't remember much before Trips; information is easier to accept when you didn't believe it to be impossible for years.

"He told me about the paintings too. So, I guess you know…" Fran instinctively put a hand over her belly, and Hayden nodded affirmatively.

"We couldn't confirm, but if I was betting, I know where I'd put my money… on Glen and his damn prophetic pot dreams." Hayden gave a sad smile. Her earlier conversation with the man in question popped back to the front of her thoughts. This confirmation would put more weight to his other predictions…

Mature

The only uses of 'Mature' I have are the ratings on both fics. 😅😬 Damn, that is a fail on my end.

3 Months

Over the course of three months Barnaby and Kotetsu closer and learn more about each other's scars, both physical and psychological after Kotetsu has to move in with Barnaby following a major surgery after a mission. Barnaby does his best to help Kotetsu as best as he can, wanting to return the sentiment for all the times Kotetsu has helped him.

But when both men are stubborn and wear masks it's easier said then done. Luckily they've got friends, and each other.

a/n: I wanted to do a little fic exploration, both of Kotetsu and Barnaby learning more about each other being confined to a small space for a long period of time while so looking at the otherside of Kotetsu that we don't often see. Full story will be on AO3 but i thought id share the first chapter here ♥

I

“Why can’t I stay at my apartment?” Kotetsu frowned and crossed his arms over chest. 

Barnaby crossed his arms over his chest and looked pointedly at the bright blue cast that covered nearly his entire left leg. 

“Do you really think you can sleep on your couch for three to four months?” Barnaby asked. “Or climb up and down the stairs to your bed?” 

“Well…it’s not like my couch is uncomfortable,” Kotetsu replied. “I’ve slept on it before.” 

“And complained about a crick in your neck for the next three days after,” Barnaby reminded him. “It’s already been decided you’ll stay with me once you’re released from the hospital.” 

“What? Bunny no, I can’t do that,” Kotetsu shook his head. “What about your solitude? And according to the doctor, I’d have to be with you at least a few months. That's…that’s a long time. I could just go home, use my vacation time.” 

“Isn’t your mother planning to take Kaede on a vacation during her school break for a few weeks? And doesn’t your brother work?” Barnaby asked. 

“Well yeah but…” Kotetsu shrugged. “I’m a grown man. I can look at myself.” 

“Are you that opposed to staying with me?” Barnaby frowned a little. 

“No but…three months? Are you sure you’re willing to do that?” Kotetsu asked. 

“I wouldn’t have offered it if I wasn’t,” Barnaby answered. “Lloyds has already approved my request for a week off while you’re on bedrest, and I can work from home a few days a week to make sure you don’t injure yourself further when you no doubt attempt to do more than you should.” 

“Got it all planned out don’t you?” Kotetsu sighed but smiled a little. 

“Consider it me returning the favor from all the times you’ve helped me,” Barnaby replied. He stood up and picked up his jacket. “I’ll go by your place and pick up some clothes and essentials for you. Once your bedrest is over we can go back and see if there’s anything else you’d like to bring with you.” 

“Do you need my keys?” Kotetsu asked. 

Barnaby pulled them out of his pocket. “Already got them. Get some rest alright? I'll be back tomorrow.” 

“Hey um…Thanks Bunny,” Kotetsu told him. “I’ll try not to get on your nerves too much.” 

“I doubt that, but I appreciate the thought,” Barnaby smiled a bit. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” 

“ So, gonna be staying with Barnaby huh?” Antonio asked. “ Should I get your casket ready now? Or give it a few weeks?” 

Kotetsu rolled his eyes and picked at a loose thread on the hospital blanket. “I’m not that bad of a house guest. And I’ve been to Bunny’s place before, even stayed the night.” 

“ Yes, after you’ve passed out drunk from drinking too much beer and wine,” Antonio pointed out.

“Okay…Fair point,” Kotetsu sighed. 

He tried to lean back but the pillows he was propped up against made it a bit difficult. So he only managed to lean back a few inches at best. 

“ Well I’d offer to let you stay with me, but, we know how well that went last time,” Antonio replied. “ Listen, I'm sure it’ll be fine.” 

“Yeah…yeah you’re probably right,” he nodded. 

“ You sure you’re alright? I know it’s late, but I could swing by, sneak in some bad food,” Antoio offered. 

“No, it’s late, and the nurse is gonna swing by again to check on my leg, she’ll smell the hamburger grease a mile away,” Kotetsu told him. “But thanks for the offer.” 

“ Three months are gonna fly by, and you’ll be back before you know it,” Antonio told him. “ Call me when you get settled in. Maybe we can convince Barnaby to invite the group over for some drinks.” 

“That sounds great Antonio, I’ll talk to you later,” Kotetsu smiled a bit. 

He hung up and set his cell phone on the small table next to the hospital bed. He tried to get more comfortable but between his leg being held up, and the pillows he was propped up against to avoid rolling over, he was stuck. 

“Guess I got three months of having the straightest spine in existence right?” He pulled the blanket up and tried to get as comfortable as he could before closing his eyes and trying to sleep. 

***

“Oh, you’re awake,” Barnaby blinked a little surprised as he walked into Kotetsu’s hospital room. 

“I couldn’t really get comfortable enough to sleep,” Kotetsu shrugged and sat up a bit. “Between the nurses coming in to make sure I haven’t developed a concussion, or rolled over in my sleep…and ya know,” he motioned to the hospital room. “What’s in the bag?” 

Barnaby nodded as he set down the bag he’d brought with him. “I brought you a change of clothes. The nurse said it’d be alright and I thought it might make you feel a bit more comfortable.” 

“I…thanks Bunny, that’s, that’s really thoughtful of you,” Kotetsu smiled. “They’re a lot less itchy than this hospital gown I’ll tell you that much. Oh…but uh, how am I gonna manage pants with the cast?” 

Barnaby pulled out a pair of shorts. “At least one silver lining is that it’s almost summer. Would you like some assistance or…?” 

“I think I can manage, but uh…maybe stay close, just in case?” Kotetsu asked. 

Barnaby nodded and pulled out the shirt he’d brought along with him, while Kotetsu started to remove the hospital gown being mindful of all the tubing he was still hooked up to. The shirt was easy enough, he’d grabbed a semi-random button up t-shirt that was blue with little pineapples on it. 

The shorts were black and knee length. They were wide legged so he figured they’d be easier to slip on over the cast. He stayed close but didn’t hover, and busied himself with seeing what he semi-blindly grabbed from the other man’s apartment. 

Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, socks, shoes, well, one shoe. Hat. 

“Um…Bunny, could you give me a hand?” Kotetsu asked. “I can’t get my other leg.” 

Barnaby looked over and saw that he had one leg through the right pant leg while he held the left side with his hand. He set down the hat and walked over to the bedside. 

“Just uh, my ribs are still a little sore, I can pull them up I just need you to get them over my foot,” Kotetsu explained. 

“Not a problem,” Barnaby nodded and knelt down. 

He rolled up the left leg of the shorts and lifted his left foot carefully slipping it over the cast and pulled it up just enough for the other man to grab the hem and pull them up the rest of the way. He sat back on the bed and stared at his leg. 

Barnaby didn’t move. Must as he wanted to help him, he knew Kotetsu would be stubborn, he already didn’t like hospitals, doing certain things without asking would just be making things worse. 

He supposed in a way they were similar in that regard. 

Stubborn, and at times unwilling to ask for help. 

In Kotetsu’s case, not wanting to be a burden. 

Though as he watched Kotetsu wince and bring his left leg up and prop it back up on the pillows, right leg quickly following before sagging against the pillows, he was sorely tempted to disregard those feelings. 

“Better?” Barnaby asked instead. 

Kotetsu nodded and sat up a bit. “Uh, sorry about the mess you probably had to wade through. I was gonna clean up cause Kaede and...crap, Kaede.” He covered his face with his hands. “She was supposed to come up this weekend. I told her we’d go shopping for a few things for her trip…can’t very well do that now…” 

“Assuming it wasn’t too much of an overstep, I already called her and told her what happened,” Barnaby told him. “She was very understanding, and there’s still time before the trip. Putting it off for a few weeks won’t hurt.” 

Kotetsu sighed. “I hate knowing I’m the reason she’s so…understanding and accommodating. I mean, I don’t, I think it’s great ya know. She’s got a good head on her shoulders. But at the same time…” he shrugged. “Thank you Bunny. Gonna have to buy you a case of that fancy wine you like to make up for all this.” 

“Don’t worry about it, what partners are for right?” he waved his hand dismissively. “Besides, you can’t even pronounce its name. How do you expect to order a case?” 

“I know what the bottle looks like,” Kotetsu replied. “I’ll just go to the store, find the bottle and tell them I want a case. Easy.” 

“Whatever you say old man,” Barnaby crossed his arms over his chest and smiled a bit. 

“Who you calling old Bunny? I’m hardly that much older than you,” Kotetsu pouted. “I can still go toe to toe with any criminal in Sternbild…well…could.” 

“You could do a lot of damage with that cast,” Barnaby agreed. “Though, your punching’s a bit better than your kicking.” 

“Laughter is always a good sign,” the nurse smiled as she walked into the room. “The Doctor has given the all clear for you to go home, we’re just gonna go over a few things. We'll have you sign the discharge forms and make a follow-up appointment for a few weeks for now to check and see how the healing process is going. I understand that you’ll be released into Mr. Brooks’s care?” 

“Yes. That won’t be an issue will it?” Barnaby asked. 

“Not at all,” she assured him. “We’ll also just need to take down your information, should anything come up, and so the pharmacy is aware for prescription pick ups.”

“Do we really need to go over it all? No offense but we’re pretty much old hands at this,” Kotetsu said. “Can we just pretend?” 

“You’re going to be on a higher dosage of pain medication this time around Mr. Kaburagi, at least for the first few weeks, the doctor has also prescribed an optional sleeping medication. Patients sometimes have trouble falling asleep, or staying asleep following major surgery, especially with one as extensive as yours given that you’ll have to sleep propped up for the most part. As I said though, it is entirely optional, so if you don’t feel the need to take it, then you don’t have to,” she explained. 

“We understand,” Barnaby nodded when Kotetsu didn’t say anything. “Please, continue.” 

***

“Are you hungry? I haven’t had the chance to go grocery shopping yet, but I can have something delivered,” Barnaby offered. “I think I’ve got some take out menus in the kitchen from the last few times.” 

“Honestly Bunny, I think I just wanna try and get some sleep,” Kotetsu told him. “Maybe later though?” 

Barnaby nodded. “I’ll just be in the living room if you need anything.” 

Kotetsu nodded and settled back against the pillows. 

Barnaby turned out the light and left the door ajar as he left the bedroom. He ran a hand through his hair as he walked to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge before looking through the drawers until he found a pen and notepad making a quick grocery list. 

He could do this.

The Market for SUGA┃AGUSTD Tour Tickets

I’ve been an avid fan of the globally famous band, BTS, since 2017.  I went to my first BTS concert as a freshman in high school in September 2018, and another one in May 2019. I had also gotten tickets for their tour in 2020, which was later canceled due to COVID-19. Here’s a photo of me at my first concert at the Staples Center! (Looking as awkward as a 14-year-old does when she sees her celebrity crushes for the first time)

The last BTS concert I went to was in November 2021, my senior year of high school, which brings my total to 3. It’s been over a year since I saw BTS perform live, so I was really excited to hear an update about a month ago.

On February 14, 2023, Suga (a rapper who is also a member of BTS) announced his first solo world tour. Of course, I was eager to get tickets. I immediately texted my best friend from my hometown (who had attended ⅔ of the concerts with me) and told her that we should both try to buy tickets from Ticketmaster, the firm that sells concert tickets.

I’ll be discussing four economic concepts in regards to the market for the SUGA┃AGUSTD tour tickets:

Substitute goods

Factors that affect demand

Price elasticity

Price discrimination

Unfortunately, the market for BTS tickets has changed a lot since I first went to their concert almost 5 years ago. Our mission to purchase two tickets to the SUGA┃AGUSTD tour failed. Miserably. The entire world tour sold out almost as soon as the tickets became available for sale. One reason for this is a rise in demand, which was much greater than the supply. What caused this to occur?

Over the past 5 years, BTS’s popularity has exploded. I found a Tweet from August 2017 celebrating BTS reaching 5 million followers on Instagram. 

Today, they have almost 72.5 million followers on Instagram. With the total number of BTS fans increasing, so does the demand for the tour. 

You might be thinking, “Ami, just because they’re a fan of BTS doesn’t mean that they’d want to buy a ticket for Suga’s concert, which would only have 1/7 of the members. How does an increase in the group's ticket demand increase Suga's ticket demand so dramatically?”

Let me provide some context. Last summer, BTS announced that they were going on a hiatus and temporarily halting group activities. What does this mean? No BTS world tours. Meanwhile, SUGA┃AGUSTD concert tickets are a substitute good for BTS concert tickets. It's the closest good for fans who want to consume the BTS concert experience. With the supply of BTS concert tickets gone, the demand for the substitute good increases. Here is a graph displaying how the demand curve for SUGA┃AGUSTD concert tickets shifts to the right as it increases.

Another factor that affects demand is consumers’ expectations of the future. As I  just mentioned, BTS is on a hiatus. One reason for this is the South Korean mandatory military service that all of the members have to enlist in for about two years.

Currently, only 1 member has enlisted, and another is beginning the process of enlistment. The rest are expected to follow in the near future. This means that BTS fans are expecting a lack of supply for their good (BTS tickets) and substitute goods (solo member tour tickets) in the future, causing current demand to rise even more, shown below.

Besides the fact that the demand for tickets by far outweighs their limited supply, their price elasticity allows Ticketmaster to sell the SUGA┃AGUSTD concert tickets for a high price. Price elasticity measures how much the quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in price. Since the supply is so limited, the price elasticity is inelastic. As a result, even if the ticket prices were to increase, the demand for tickets would not decrease very much.

This is why Ticketmaster uses a method called dynamic pricing when they sell tickets. Dynamic pricing is a method of pricing a good in which the price fluctuates with the current demand. The higher the demand is, the higher the price. Ticketmaster says that they use dynamic pricing in order to prevent scalpers from buying mass quantities of tickets to resell. (Flashback to the last BTS concert I went to - I bought a resale nosebleed ticket from a scalper for $700 on the night before the concert.  Yikes!)

I guess one could say that Ticketmaster (and the artists who hold these concerts) have the fans’ best interests in mind. But maybe that’s because those interests line their pockets. Dynamic pricing is a form of price discrimination - charging different consumers different prices in order to maximize profits.

Another way Ticketmaster utilized price discrimination with the SUGA┃AGUSTD concert tickets was something called the ARMY Member Presale. Recently, Ticketmaster introduced the Verified Fan Presale, in which consumers enter their contact information and confirm that they aren’t a robot in order to get a code for a presale. This is supposed to give "verified" fans an opportunity to buy tickets before bots without charging them more money (hence the name). However, Ticketmaster also created the ARMY Member Presale, which was to occur before the Verified Fan Presale. This was for fans who purchased an ARMY membership (ARMY is the name of BTS’s fandom) previously on BTS’s merchandise shop.

Those with the ARMY membership were eligible for an even earlier presale, increasing their chance of getting tickets when the demand was so high. This is price discrimination because Ticketmaster is charging consumers more for the same good! The tickets are the same, but with the additional cost of the membership for those who are willing to pay it.

Since I’m a college student with no financial aid to relieve me from the burden of tuition, food, and housing, I did not purchase the ARMY membership. I was not willing to pay more money for the good. Sadly (and somewhat surprisingly), the entire world tour sold out during the ARMY Member Presale. Both the second presale and the general sale of tickets were canceled. I didn’t even get the chance to log into Ticketmaster and wait in a queue of thousands of people for hours for the slim chance of getting a ticket! Honestly, I’m just glad I was able to go to so many BTS concerts before their hiatus. Not many fans can say that, so I’m pretty lucky already. And I thought that the tickets were extremely hard to get five years ago! In the meantime, I’ll stick to watching old concert videos on my phone and listening to their music on Spotify.

(For fun, here's a study playlist of BTS songs on Spotify)

Fight or Flight (Cole Brookstone x F! Reader)

A/N; I really miss writing for Ninjago so I just wrote this cute little angsty story to fulfill my happiness. I’m taking any requests, especially angst >:).

Summary; When Overlord takes over the main Ninjago building and Y/N is cornered in a window 70 floors above the ground, Y/N has to take a chance of jumping out of a window or getting attacked by an Overlord controlled PIXAL.

Warnings; Fear of heights, panic attack

It was just supposed to be a field trip. A field trip to enjoy the city of Ninjago at its finest.

But of course, where ever the Ninja go, there will always be danger. The Techno Blades were revealed, and the Overlord immediately took control of all electronics in the building, including the robot tour guide, PIXAL.

Which lead you to here, pinned against an open window with PIXAL looming towards you, an a helicopter floating just outside the building, holding your team of four boys.

“Y/N, let’s go!” Kai’s voice is rushed, panicked, eyes trained on PIXAL’s own red eyes staring at you, “Y/N!”

“I can’t!” Your scream is breathy, terrified, and Cole can now spot where your hands gripped the edge of the windowsill, “Just-just go,”

“We’re not leaving you,” Cole huffs, extending a muscled arm despite the harsh wind, “Y/N, look at me!”

Hesitantly, you turn to glance over your shoulder, barely glancing down at the streets below before your eyes pinch shut, immediately face forward where PIXAL inches closer.

“Y/N!” Cole calls again, and in a rush to turn and heave yourself onto the sill, wavering in your spot so your hands grabbed the edges at your sides, gasp short, “Don’t look down, look at me,”

Cole glancing over to where Zane controlled the helicopter, “Can’t you try to get closer?”

“Not without the blades hitting the building,” Zane shakes his head, eyes trained on his teammate, “Did you know she has a fear of heights?”

“There isn’t much I could do about it in this moment,” Cole grunts, looking back to you where you stared down, eyes gleaming with hot tears, “Baby, you gotta jump. I will catch you,”

“I-I can’t,” You shake your head, leaning to support yourself on the sill, “Cole, just go, I can fight my way out,”

“We’re not going anywhere,” Kai demands, next to Cole for support, “But PIXAL will get to you if you don’t jump!”

They can all see your chest heave with an ongoing panic attack, body leaning forward before rocking back, exhaling before you force yourself to jump, PIXALs hand barely missing your suit,

Cole instantly finds himself leaning out the helicopter, hand catching your wrist tightly as he kneels down, Kai following to grab your free arm and tug you up, Coles other hand going to the back of your head in a motion of comfort,

“I got you,” His huff is quiet, as the helicopter began to take off, your arms tight around his torso, “Told you Id catch you,”

Kai leans back on his knees and heaves a breathy exhale, hand at your back reassuringly as he glanced out the window to the helicopter.

“No robots, no cameras, no problems,”

Lloyds voice leads you to look up from your feet. Your knees still feel weak, although you’ve been off the helicopter for a little over an hour now as you had taken a car to the woods where you now went into hiding,

“Why don’t everyone come inside the dojo?” Misako speaks up to the group, eyes trained on you, “You all look shaken up,”

As the group began to move towards said dojo, Coles hand slides down to yours, tugging you to a stop as he shares a nod with Lloyd,

“You okay?”

“Why wouldn’t I be?” You mumble, Coles eyes shifting between yours,

“You just jumped over seventy stories in the air,” Cole reminds, catching your flinch, “You hate being up high, you just had a panic attack-,”

“I’m just tired, okay?” You tug your wrist free, sighing as your eyes flick from Coles face to his chest, “I might ask Garmadon if I can lay down,”

“Just… let me know if you need anything,” Cole quietly pleas, hands raising to your face to peck your lips, feeling your tense shoulders deflate so he grins, pecking your lips multiple times,

“I will,” You sigh against his mouth, fingers gripping at his suit, before releasing so he leans back, allowing you to walk in first before following after you into the dojo.

ninjago encanto au

imagine a next gen where zanes daughter doesnt get her dads ice abilities cause shes adopted [cause hes a robot]

just an idea- honestly i have an oc i could use for this :D.

and zane is bruno [the papa bruno au gave me the idea] and he "left" cause he accidentally hit one of the ninja with an ice blast and it hurt them.

so hes a little relieved she didnt get his power but he still knows...shes devistated [she didnt know she was adopted till he told her when they reunited]

the main goal she stives to acheive is to fix the balance of good and evil because lloyd and garmadon are back to bein enemies. but when she tries to help the balance shifts from one to the other so wu gets upset with her [i see him as abuela]

and also since the daughter would have to be raised by SOMEONE if zane wasnt there ide say jay and nya raise her.

"youre just as special as anyone else in this family.."

"mhm...mom you can control water..and dad is the master of lightning.."

If you told me Crystalized was just another series installment, id be content with how it ended. It felt a bit rushed in the back half, but was open-ended enough with a lot of loose plot threads that could tie into interesting narratives for future seasons. Their elemental powers fading, Nya getting hers back but not all the way, the fact that they are still technically wanted criminals, Garmadon and Harumi's respective redemption arcs, Lloyd's internalized self-loathing of his oni form....

See what i mean? If you told me ninjago as we know it would continue like normal after this, i wouldnt be quite so upset. Because this feels like the setup to a really interesting followup season. Like how season 8 led into season 9. The SoG finale left a lot hanging in the air, but it was okay because you knew Hunted would tie things up. Thats what Crystalized feels like to me. It feels like a segway into another story arc. But an all-out finale? Not so much.

Now, im not one of those people who thinks every loose end needs to be tied up into a neat little bow at the end. In fact, a lot of times it feels more organic if you do leave a few things open-ended. But so many MAJOR character arcs went unfulfilled. Nya just kinda faded back into being a supporting character again, without her powers fully coming back or even just learning to accept their relative absence. Lloyd never really embraced his Oni side, and is still very afraid of it. Harumi just kinda exists as a good guy now? I mean hell yeah i was so proud of her when she wrecked the Overlord's shit, but STILL. And the ninja are still technically wanted criminals????? I cannot stress that enough. They never got pardoned or anything, so they still have jail sentences to serve. Those were all major, central aspects of Crystalized's plot, so it feels really unsatisfying for those to get no resolution.

But if Crystalized was just a stepping stone to some kind of follow up, if Ninjago United was gonna develop those concepts and arcs better, then idk i think i could get behind the Crystalized finale a bit more. But with all the mixed messages weve been getting about United, i wont hold my breath.

Dont get me wrong, i do think ninjago should end eventually. I dont want it to become one of those shows that goes on for 20 years without any satisfying conclusion. But i just dont feel like this, here, is where it should end. And while the crystalized finale was interesting and brought a lot to the table, it felt...lacking, i guess, in a lot of ways that make it hard to believe that this is a real ending. It feels like they resolved one plot thread but then cracked open five new ones at the last second.

Tldr, i think the crystalized finale is a decent season finale. I just dont think its a very good series finale.
