trailer reunion (pedro pascal x gn/m!reader)

a/n: same vague universe as “marked," as always. this one skews a little more m! and a little less gn!, apologies if that puts anyone off.

thanks, as always, for everything.

summary: 5 weeks is a long, long time.

——————————————————————————

Your leg won’t stop bouncing. It’s not your fault, really— it’s the Edmonton Airport’s, for having such a conveniently located Tim Hortons, right outside the baggage claim. After the 7-hour red eye from JFK, with the connection through Toronto, the coffee was necessary.

The caffeine isn’t entirely to blame, though. If the taxi wouldn’t stop going so fucking slow, maybe you’d settle down. But the traffic is unyielding, so the 20 minute drive to your heartfelt reunion is looking more like 45. Apparently, shutting part of the city down to film a TV show really screws up peoples’ commutes. You’d waited long enough (a month and six days, but who’s counting?), surely an extra half-hour won’t kill you. But in the taxi, the minutes seem to stretch into years.

The filming schedule for The Last of Us has been brutal. From what Pedro has told you, there was apparently a strain to film both the first and second episode back-to-back; something about using the same locations and exterior shots. For him, it has meant a marathon of shooting… the only downside to being the star of the show.

SNL’s new season was in full swing anyways, so you’d had plenty to keep you busy. Spent enough late nights at 30 Rock, after many a panicked call to the dog walker, that you barely had to inhabit his otherwise vacant condo. You talked every night, usually Facetiming before bed, but the distance was wearing on you both.

Now, the only thing in between you and your man is this fucking traffic jam.

Though this wasn’t a surprise visit— you’d booked the flight as soon as you’d realized the SNL hiatus week lined up with The Last of Us breaking to change locations for the next episode— you did have one trick up your sleeve. Or, more accurately, under your mask.

You’d been attempting to grow facial hair well before meeting Pedro, but it had been a sparse and largely unsuccessful endeavor until very recently. Your jawline had filled in between your sideburn and chin, albeit slightly patchy. You’d been hiding it over Facetime, opting for regular calls a bit more and hoping he wouldn’t notice. Not the craziest surprise, but still, your heart thrums at the prospect of finally sharing it with him.

Of course, once you arrive to set, the obstacles multiply.

Some college kid in a neon yellow vest stops you before you’ve even managed to remove your duffle from the trunk of the cab.

“Covid testing is this way, please follow me,” he insists tersely. Self-consciously, you adjust the KN95 strap around your ear.

The kid leads you to a tent, where two people in full white hazmat suits, complete with gloves and face shields, ask your name and instruct you to pull down your mask. (There’s a joke in there somewhere, about infection at a show about infected, but you get the sense it might be inappropriate to fool around here.)

Once swabbed and registered, you move to leave, scanning the exit for anyone who might be able to help you navigate onto set. But you are immediately blocked by a hazmat woman.

“You need to wait for the rapid to clear,” she insists, pointing to a row of folding chairs. “Fifteen minutes.”

Fifteen minutes, after 5 weeks. Just fifteen minutes. You resign yourself to a seat by the door.

It’s 4pm. You were supposed to have arrived during a stop down between shots— timed so that Pedro would be in his trailer, and accessible, when you arrived. It feels like that window is physically, tangibly closing as you watch the second-hand tick slowly.

Initially, you’d been hesitant to join him on set at all, but he’d insisted you come meet his “second family.” You’d met several of his colleagues via Facetime, when he’d called you from his trailer. Bella, in particular, you’ve taken a liking to— they pepper you with whispered questions about transitioning and gripes about the gender binary when Pedro has been forced to hand over the phone.

You check your phone. Nothing from Pedro, although his little blue dot looks stationary when you pull up FindMyFriends. The clock ticks. There is a burning sting each time you blink— that third cup of coffee is wearing off, and the 5am wake-up this morning is starting to catch up to you. Really, all you want to do is go back to your partner’s hotel room, said partner in tow, curl up on the king-sized and fall asleep watching some West Wing rerun. (Maybe also shower together, and then some. You can keep yourself awake for that.)

Finally, finally, finally, the hazmat woman returns. “You’re clear,” she announces, handing you a green sticker to adhere on your jacket. You make it through the tent flap, heart in your throat with anticipation—

But you have no fucking idea where to go.

A sea of white tents lays before you, stations with people doing things of varying levels of importance. A neon slip of paper points you towards set, but that’s not where you’re headed. Finally, past a corralled group of extras in some really disgusting mushroom prosthetics, and a tent full of picked-over lunch offerings, you spot some trailers in the distance.

And apparently, a stranger with a duffle bag walking quickly towards actors’ trailers, yields a quick security intervention.

In their defense, you definitely look like a crazy person.

“Do you have a clearance list, or anything?” You beg, discretely craning your neck to see over the guard’s neck. The trailers are right there. There are only a few, it shouldn’t take any time at all to find Pedro. He’s within arm’s reach and yet he couldn’t possibly feel further away as the guard talks code into a very official-looking walkie talkie.

“Roger.” He looks down at you. “Listen, you gotta go man. It’s a clearance-only set, and they’ve got strict covid rules, so—”

The green sticker may or may not get shoved in the man’s face. There may or may not be angry tears threatening to ruin your cool. “I got covid tested! I’m clean, they let me through. They had me on their list. I’m—”

From behind you, a familiar voice cuts you off. “With me, Robbie.”

You whip around.

Jaw? On the floor.

Pedro looks… really fucking old. His hair has been sprayed gray, wily and wind-swept; the beard, too, is much grayer than normal. It’s all part of a dirty-looking, artificially stained, mostly denim-based costume. You file away for later, how attracted you are to seeing him like this. Jesus Christ.

He looks old, but he is here, and he is grinning at you, and he’s here.

“Aw, shit.” The guard talks into the radio again. “86. Sorry about that.”

Easy to ignore him, though, as you’re preoccupied with staring at your man.

Before you can move to pounce on him, close the final four feet of distance between you, a well-manicure hand splays menacingly out at you.

“Don’t even think about it,” Coco warns. “We have fifteen minutes for touch-ups and I do not have time to fix everything.”

Pedro’s nose twitches, frowning at you. You reach down to hold his hand, but it is… apparently also covered in make-up, looking red, nasty and broken.

Sorry, he mouths dejectedly.

The inside of his trailer is familiar, though it looks a little smaller in-person than it appears on Facetime. A mirror and counter, a decently sized couch, a bathroom, a desk in the corner. Pedro settles in the make-up chair, smiling backwards at you in the mirror.

“Drop your stuff,” he insists.

Little touches of your life together pepper the room in a way that grips your heart a little. A framed picture on the desk, which you recognize from last summer; a particularly nice day in Prospect Park with the dogs, captured in a Polaroid snapped candid by a total stranger. You’d declined it, at first, assuming it was a weird fan thing. But they had insisted, leaving the picture behind and walking away. It was too lovely to leave.

The sweatshirt draped over the arm of the sofa is yours— an old NYU hoodie Pedro usually travels with. He claims it’s a ‘security blanket,’ and honestly, he might only be half-joking. A note you’d recently sent in a package (he’d accidentally left his whole box of contacts at home), taped up on the mirror, alongside a photo strip with Sarah from some gala a couple years back.

“I can’t believe you’re here,” Pedro says quietly, watching you look around. “Take your mask off, baby, I’m assuming you cleared testing if you made it through the front.”

In your excitement to reunite, you almost forgot the little surprise. His jaw drops, into an awed smile. With the un-fake-injured hand, he reaches up to palm your cheek. Runs a hand up and down your jaw, scratching lightly along the new hair.

You turn enough to plant a kiss on the pulse point of Pedro’s wrist. Capture his hand with yours, against your face, to feel him for the first time in over a month.

“Oh! The oil is working,” Coco has paused, midway through spraying something silvery and chemical-smelling to Pedro’s temples. She had suggested it surreptitiously a few months back, off-handedly, and you’d been religiously using it since. The woman knows her shit.

Pedro continues to thumb at the new scruff, transfixed. His jaw muscle twitches.

“I’ve uh—” He stalls out. “Uh. Sorry. Dinner. Craig—”

You step backwards, pulling your hand down to hold in his lap, instead. He huffs.

“Craig wants to go to dinner tonight, since we’re wrapping in Edmonton. I guess there’s this restaurant he is insisting we have to try, it’s a whole thing. Big group. I didn’t give him an answer, in case you’re tired and wanna just head back to the hotel? But we can go, either way it’s fine, I figured…”

“Pedge,” you interrupt. “It’s all good. I’d be happy to go, it sounds fun.”

He exhales. “Thank god, because it’s like a spouse-thing, Neil and Craig’s wives are here.”

Your eyebrow quirks. “Spouse?”

Just to get a blush out of the man. You’d discussed it, of course, but had yet to make moves. Being marked soothed any sense of urgency— you were committed by flesh and blood, and that was ultimately more binding than a ring or ceremony. But, still.

“Joking, love." Despite the coffee, a yawn sneaks up on you. "I might crash on the couch for a bit, when you go back."

He glances at his phone. "We only have one more shot to get alts on. Neil swears we have a hard-out in an hour. Close your eyes, and I'll be right back."

— — —

You didn't mean to actually fall asleep. Just lay there on your phone and zone out for a bit. But suddenly, you're waking up, to the feeling of a mouth on your own.

A familiar mouth. Warm, scruffy around the edges, a little pepperminty.

"We're done," Pedro whispers. "Coco says I can fuck up my makeup now."

When you open your eyes, he is hovering above you, grinning like a wolf. He's still in costume, though the denim overshirt is already half-unbuttoned.

"Are you done being gross?"

Sitting up, you find Bella in the doorway. They waste no time flinging themselves at the couch.

"In the flesh!" You both laugh.

"Shorter in person, huh?" Pedro is rewarded by a hearty shove from his costar, as he scrubs a makeup wipe across his face.

Wiping sleep from your eyes, you can tell it's gotten dark outside in the time that you've been asleep. "Craig still insisting on dinner?"

"Mm. It's like fancy Mediterranean, I think."

"Fetaaaaa," Bella pumps the air. "Nice."

The evening stretches out before you— a few more obstacles between you and the hotel bed. But Pedro is here, in the flesh, and he's smiling at you in a way that forms the little crinkles beside his eyes, and you think maybe you can sit through a few hours of fancy dinner and small talk.

You've waited this long, anyways.

my mom is fine. we finally left the medical center at 4:45 a.m. our time, just shy of 12 hours after we arrived, most of which was spent waiting first for a CT scan and then for a reading of the CT scan, which was done remotely by some third party company that i guess had a backlog. the doctor said he couldn’t let her leave with the kind of injury she had, and the doctor who took over on the night shift and eventually went over her results with her explained to her that usually the kind of bruising she had (a mottled purple not only around the locus of impact on her forehead, which at the time of the fall was legit swollen like a golf ball to the extent that i realized those cartoon characters getting hit by mallets were much less exaggerated than i had realized, but also in streaks under her eyes, which for the first few hours seemed fine) usually indicated a fracture at the base of the skull and was in her telling shocked that her scans revealed no such thing. my mom is, in fact, fine, and by the time we left seemed more or less back to her usual self and way more energetic than i was; i wandered off to a separate hallway to escape the waiting room air conditioning and lie down on some plastic chairs. some recent mom takes: barbie movie lame and she thinks ryan gosling, who she loved in la la land, probably thinks it’s ridiculous he got nominated because in her view you could tell he thought what he was doing was stupid [not sure i agree with this but do think she was reacting to the same thing that caused me to go “it’s giving SNL,” and also this is word for word how i felt about timmy in the talkier sections of dune lmao]; maestro good and she now feels a profound kinship with bradley cooper because she too used to watch the leonard bernstein PBS concerts enraptured and dream of conducting despite having no musical talent; i tonya good and i think she’s a little more hyped about the trump cohn movie when i told her that’s sebastian stan; adam driver insanely hot but not the best part of house of gucci (that goes to jared leto who she referred to as “the one we like” because of how i made her watch my so-called life with me as a teen in the hopes that the show would articulate my own adolescence to her in a way i couldn’t)

#when i told her - in the middle of our conversation about the barbie movie - that america ferreira got nominated #she said totally guilelessly ‘for what?’#isabel 2k24

"Taylor's unlike anyone Travis has dated before,"

"It was very unexpected for his friends, but he's so into her and very, very happy."

The insider continues, "Some people thought he was just joking around about the bracelet and having a crush on her earlier this summer, but he was serious about it," referring to Travis' attempt to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it at her Eras Tour in KC

They are "having a great time getting to know one another"

"They make a very cute couple."

Another People article is released the same day (x)

"They've been texting and talking on the phone between the pockets of time they get to spend with each other,"

"[Travis] knows what he signed up for with this attention, but they've spent time under the radar too. They're giving things a real try,"

Rumours circulate that Travis and Taylor have looked at a house up for sale together (x) as reported by Jenna Bush Hagar on the NBC talk show; Today with Hoda & Jenna.

“A friend from Kansas City texted me there might be news they’re buying a house,”

October 18 - New Heights Podcast episode 59 (x)

Travis & Jason talk about security (timestamp 5:30)

Jason Kelce asks his brother Travis "Have you had to enact any security of your own? Do you feel like you're a security guard when you are with Taylor?"

Travis responded, "I feel like whenever I'm on a date, I'm always having the sense that I'm a man in the situation. I'm protective, yeah, for sure. You always have to have that feeling or self-awareness, I guess."

Travis is trolled by intern Brandon (see photo below)

Travis and Jason have a laugh about Taylor meeting their dad Ed and wondering what he would talk to her about? (45:10)

Travis reveals that he and Taylor’s cameos on SNL were not planned. They had attended the recording of Season 49’s premiere episode in support of good friend and feature musical guest Ice Spice. (1:14:05)

Taylor releases "The Cruelest Summer" playlist which includes Cruel Summer live from the the Era's Tour and Cruel Summer - The LP Giobbi Remix in a bid for Number 1. (x)

ET publishes an article (x)

"They have a lot of fun together and [Taylor] loves how chivalrous [Travis] is," the source says. "Taylor feels at ease with Travis and they are already very comfortable around each other."

ET's source notes that "it's been easy" for Taylor and Travis "to connect because they have similar values and goals when it comes to their personal lives and careers."

Rumours continue to circulate that Travis has bought a $6 million home in Kansas City that provides more privacy and security and that he took Taylor to view the property. (x)(x)

October 19 - ET is informed that the duo is fully committed to their relationship and the future (x)

"Travis and Taylor are all in. The two are very into each other and are enjoying their time together but are also planning for the future. Taylor starts her international tour in November, and Travis is planning to be there to spend time with her," the source says. "Travis and Taylor are very serious about their careers, and the two bond over that and want to show support for each other whenever they can."

During week 10 of the NFL season, Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs enjoy a bye week, providing him with a brief respite. Coincidentally, during this very week, Taylor is set to take the stage for three consecutive nights in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from Nov. 9 to 11, marking her debut international Era Tour performances. This fortunate scheduling overlap grants Travis the opportunity to be in attendance.

Taylor papped in LA dining at a sushi restaurant with Zoë Kravitz, Selena Gomez & Keleigh Teller

October 20 - Travis Kelce answers questions at the Chiefs press conference (x 3:50)

When asked about his appearance on SNL Travis replied (8:00)

"it was funny, obviously I didn't know what was going to go down and just decided to hit SNL last second and they asked if I wanted to end the skit that was about me and Taylor's take over of the NFL games which was hilarious, I loved every bit of it and I was laughing my tail off during the skit, to be honest I don't even remember saying anything..."

Travis was also asked what he recommended people wear to dress up like him as a halloween costume, he suggests a moustache, 87 chiefs jersey and a friendship bracelet. (8:44)

Travis reveals

"I had [a moustache] when I first met Taylor"

US Weekly article (x) a source says about Travis and Taylor

“They’re really happy. They’re not saying they’re in love yet. But it’s obvious to her friends they’re heading in that direction,” noting that their loved ones see Swift, 33, and Kelce’s strong connection when they are together. “Friends think they’re in love.”

“He’s going to see her when she’s back on tour. That’s already planned. And when she gets a break, she’ll see him,” the source adds. “It’s going so well because it’s easy and nothing is complicated.”

“Taylor is really happy and excited about Travis. She’s at the relationship stage where she looks forward to seeing him, getting calls from him, spending time with him,” the source continues. “She has butterflies in her stomach and she hasn’t had that in a while. She feels safe and comfortable around him physically and emotionally.”

The insider notes that Kelce has surprised Swift with how “in tune” he is with her needs. The athlete has also been “a gentleman” toward Swift since he revealed in July his attempt to make a move on Swift while attending her Eras tour concert. “Travis is someone who is so different for her. With him it’s easy. She doesn’t have to worry about anything,”

He has his own career and money. So he’s not with her for the wrong reasons. He has his own successful career and understands the demands,” the insider concludes. “There’s no drama and they’re happy. He’ll visit, she’ll visit. It’s working for them.”

October 22 - Chiefs v Chargers, Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City. Taylor flies into KC to cheer on Travis and the Chiefs as they take on the Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium.

Taylor appears to have had a brilliant time supporting Travis at the Sunday afternoon game joining Brittany Mahomes and others. The Chiefs defeated the LA Chargers 31- 17 with Travis scoring a touch down to cement the win. Taylor wore a "87" friendship bracelet in support of Travis.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid addresses the press commenting on the Chiefs win (x 2:16)

"Kelce keeps getting better with time, Taylor can stay around all she wants"

Taylor changed shoes to be part of a group of teammates, WAGs and close friends of the KC Chiefs wearing custom red nikes. It's so nice to see Taylor be included in this way! (via @taylorswiftstyle and Aric Jones on instagram)

The Messenger reports (x)

" [Travis and Taylor] are both smitten and can't keep their hands off one another when they are together," the source said. "They aren't scared to be affectionate in public."

October 23 - Cruel Summer hits No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100! Cruel Summer hits this milestone 5 years after it was released from the 2019 Lover album. Taylor and Jack Antonoff (who helped produce the song and long time friend) celebrate with a post (x). Notice they are in a recording studio in LA (last week) and are being way too cryptic holding up 11 fingers... TS 11 anyone?

People speak with Ed Kelce, Travis' dad (x)

Ed tells PEOPLE that the “Karma” singer is “a very, very sweet, very charming, down-to-earth young woman."

His initial impression that Swift is “very genuine" was proven right upon his first meeting with the singer.

“I’ll tell you something very special that I noticed about Taylor the first time I met her,” Ed shares. “We're sitting in the suite, she gets up and in the front room, she gets up to go get a drink or something and she starts picking up empty bottles, cans, plates that are scattered around. Because in the suites everybody gets stuff and you empty it down wherever you can.” Ed continues, “And I'm just thinking, I don't think she got the diva memo. She didn't get the spoiled musician. She doesn't know how to pull that off. And that really to me said a whole lot.”

Travis and Taylor are papped hand in hand heading out for dinner Monday evening at Piropos, an Argentine Steak House. Travis is seen opening the car door for Taylor. (x)

Victor Oladipo believes Taylor Swift makes Travis Kelce better (x)

October 25 - Ed Kelce speaks with ET (x)

"I think they are two very, very driven professional individuals," he says. "I think they're very supportive of each other, which is key. This is a rough time for either one of them to have a relationship. She's in the middle of this ginormous tour, he's knee deep [in the NFL season]. At least he takes his just as serious as she takes hers as far as commitment to their craft."

Ed believes that Taylor's pre-concert ritual of preserving her voice -- which Travis claims is the reason he was unable to present her with a friendship bracelet -- shows how dedicated and understanding she is when it comes to her career.

"I think she's very committed to that," he says of the "Anti-Hero" songstress. "And I think Travis supports that. And I think she realises how committed Travis is to sleep, 10 hours a day, when your body is going through this kind of thing. So I think they're both very supportive."

And should the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl...

"Without a doubt," he says about saving a seat for Tay. "She'll be in the middle of the Eras Tour so..."

And if Ed himself should ever make it to the Eras Tour, he'll be singing "You Belong With Me," as he revealed that it's his favorite song of hers.

"Being genuine with your feelings," he tells ET of the dating advice he gave Travis and Jason. "Being respectful of a woman, and that's taught from a young age. Be yourself, be honest with someone's emotions. But these are all things that they've understood growing up just being the norm."

Episode 60 of New Heights airs, part of the episode title is "Travis Reacts to “Swift Stats"" (x 56:20)

In response to whether National Tight End day is a real holiday, Jason tweets

October 26 - Taylor is seen out in NYC. She is at Bradley Cooper's apartment with Shawn Levy, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. That night, Taylor goes out for dinner with Alana and Danielle Haim at Holiday Bar, NYC (x)

Patrick Mahomes says that he wants to have a secret handshake with Travis after his wife Brittany and Taylor went viral for theirs (x)

“I need to talk to Travis, because me and Travis don’t even have a handshake yet,” Patrick, 28 said during a radio interview with Kansas City’s KCSP (610 AM) on Thursday, October 26. “So I mean, they’re ahead of the game on us. So we’re gonna have to get on the whiteboard, and we’re gonna figure out a handshake so that we can try to one up theirs.”

an introduction to supplementary planning (mr. ben (snl) x reader)

a.n.: pedro might have only played a teacher for 5 minutes, but his impact was infinite <3

summary: a new school, a dual planning period, and overnight oats create an interesting start to the school year.

w.c.: 581

It was the start of the school year and Room 2404 was to be your home away from home for the foreseeable future. St. Lawrence High School had hired you on as the new English 4 teacher, and today was your first actual exposure to the academic environment.

You had heard bits and pieces of advice for your first year at Lawrence

“Crack your door at an angle of 45 degrees for the best draft.” “If the kids ask to share their screen, 9 times out of 10 it will end up being a meme you can barely decipher.” “Get friendly with Mr. Ben and the kids just might make you two the school’s IT couple.”

The last bit of advice had you the most intrigued. Mr. Ben had a reputation for being the teacher heartthrob, and you were fortunate enough to share a hallway with him.

Right before you reached your room, you could hear 80’s Boat Rock bustling through your neighbor’s door. Ben danced around his room, prepping the space for the kids soon to arrive. Math and science decor covered the walls, but it was so uniquely him.

Finally able to drop the last of your supplies off in your room, you practically sunk into the chair at your desk. Until a knock at your door had you sitting up straighter than a ruler.

“No kids? Guess we’re both fortunate to have a planning time during 1st period.” A hint of sarcasm peaked through his voice. You couldn’t help but smirk at his utter dismay for the morning.

“Well, since you’re halfway through the door- I could use a planning buddy to help show me the ropes.”

“Sure thing. Let me grab my lesson plans and I’ll be back faster than you can say ‘isosceles’!” Ben was gone for a split second and had returned with a binder full of instructional material.

The two of you had been on the grind and slowly inched closer to each other as the hour passed. You had no problem with it at all. He was a heartthrob, and you were getting a friend out of it as well. Duality had never looked better. … “Okay, I know we’ve been here for an hour, but I have to ask-“, he paused for dramatic effect. “What is that awful smell coming from the fridge?”

Honestly, you were relieved that someone else had taken note of the odor. You couldn’t tell if you were just in your head and making up every worst case scenario possible. To both of your simultaneous dismay and relief, the oder increased tenfold once the refrigerator door was opened.

“Overnight oats? Looks like it’s been left here more than just a night. My hypothesis is that this was a lunch that never came to be and has thus become an unintentional welcome gift.”

“The scientific method? Now you’re definitely securing a spot in my heart!”

His laugh. If a laugh were personified as an action, his would be the hug of your nearest and dearest friend. All your new school jitters disappeared in the time you had gotten to spend with him.

Abruptly, the school bell rang to signify the end of 1st period.

“Same time tomorrow?” This was a proposal you knew could only have one correct answer.

“You know where to find me.”, you winked.

Although it was your first year at a completely new campus, you could already tell it was going to be a good one.

Usual Night at VP HQ [Valorant SNL Parody #2]

[Synopsis]: Brimstone, Sage, and Viper are trying to subdue Reyna due to her Radianite abilities going haywire. Special guest: a sleep-deprived agent, [Y/N].

Gender Neutral Reader

[A/N]: Me, and my dumb-goofed mind imagining serious characters in silly situations like this. I have been laughing hysterically from this skit since the first time. Also be warned for Reyna’s part where she spoke Spanish as it may not be an accurate response.

youtube

[Intro starts with the VP Headquarters experiencing a rain storm.]

[Infirmary, 12:05 a.m.]

[Reyna has been acting violently while recovering from a previous mission.]

Sage: Viper, can you save her? Can you save Reyna in this condition?

Viper: I can’t. We don’t have enough resources to stabilize her and the next shipment is in the next 24 hours.

Reyna: *Convulsing* You will rot in Hell~ *Blabbering like a demon*

Brimstone: Reyna, hear us now. We know you’re still in there.

[Somebody knocked on the door.]

Sage: Who could be knocking at this hour?

[Door slides open to reveal someone.]

[Y/N]: *Sleep-deprived* Uh, hello? It’s the middle of the night. What is all the ruckus?

Sage: Oh, Viper. This is our recent recruit, Agent [Y/N] or Agent Shaw.

[Y/N]: Yeah, and I “Shaw’ve” been asleep 45 minutes ago. But I guess y’all decided to throw a party on a Tuesday.

Viper: This is not a party, Agent [Y/N].

Brimstone: It’s Reyna. She became unstable after her last mission.

Sage: We’re waiting for more resources to aid her.

[Y/N]: You don’t have to wait to them. I’ll do it.

Brimstone, Sage, & Viper: Do what?

[Y/N]: Stabilizing Reyna. I’m getting my sleep tonight.

Reyna: AAAHHHH!!!!

[Y/N]: BLAAAHHHH!!!! See I can do it too, ‘kay? You don’t scare me, your highness.

Viper: [Y/N], you should be cautious. You’re in it over your head.

[Y/N]: In over my head? I’ll have you know I have been a paramedic in the Detroit area for 5 years before joining the Protocol. That’s thousands of patients. Everyday I am the only thing stopping raging alcoholics from getting sent straight to Hell by a UPS truck. Now where’s the anesthesia?

Viper: *Passes them the syringe*

[Y/N]: Okay hello!

Reyna: *Demon noises*

[Y/N]: Yeah okay. You need to get yourself together, Reyna.

Reyna: *More demon noises*

[Y/N]: Uh uh uh uh! Use your words.

Reyna: Suck my ass!

[Y/N]: No, ma’am, I don’t do all that. I’m in a committed relationship and that’s it.

Sage: Maybe we should wait for the other sources, Agent Shaw.

[Y/N]: Oh no no no no no no. I need to get my eight hours.

[Then Reyna starts levitating up from her bed.]

[Y/N]: Oh. Uh-oh. Wh-Where’s she going?

Reyna: *Aggravated* You’re going to Hell, you stupid whore.

[Y/N]: Stupid what now? Oh honey, you gonna have to do much better than that. Yesterday, a Mirror Neon called me a washed-up nurse. So I shot a bullet straight into her head. What else you got? Come on.

Reyna: You’re an ugly…Uh…Umm…¿Cómo diablos se supone que debo llamarte?

[Y/N]: Umm? Umm? What? Look at you, stuttering. Now sir your ass down before I turn on the ceiling fan.

Reyna: *Levitates down to her bed*

[Y/N]: Mhm! That’s what I thought.

Viper: *Bewildered by everything* I don’t believe this.

Brimstone: Oh my god. Is it working?

[Y/N]: Yeah, it is. That is exactly what I thought.

Reyna: *Exhausted from not turning into a full-on demon* I’m drained…

Viper: She’s exhausted. Quick, we need a soul to feed her.

[Y/N]: Oh, yeah, okay. I gotcha. I got you a soul, all right. *Puts on a call while on speaker* Yoru! Get your ass in the infirmary, Yoru!

Yoru: *Speaking through* Urgh…[Y/N], what do you want? I’m trying to sleep.

[Y/N]: Oh, you’re trying to sleep, but you’re talking? Just bring the hostage to where I’m located at.

[Reyna starts levitating again, causing the others to panic.]

[Y/N]: And Reyna, your ass better not be levitating back there.

Reyna: *Levitates back down* Sorry, Agent Shaw…

[Y/N]: Mhm. Thank you, your highness.

Yoru: *Exits through a rift and gripping on a hostage* Waking my ass up at 9 p.m. in the middle of the night.

[Y/N]: We’re stabilizing Reyna and she needs a soul to feed on, Yoru.

Yoru: Yeah, and I “Shaw’ve” been asleep 47 minutes ago.

[Y/N]: Yeah, we know, babe. Now bring the dirty-ass traitor to Reyna. We already got intel from them.

Brimstone: I didn’t know about the traitor.

Sage: Neither did I.

Yoru: Why would I want to do that?

[Y/N]: Yoru. If you don’t do it, I’ll cancel our “intense Mario Kart date night” next week.

Yoru: *Finally gives in* Fine. You win. *Drags the frightened hostage to Reyna* Do your worst. *Throws the traitor to her and runs back to [Y/N]*

Reyna: *Consumes the soul from the traitor* *GASP!* Dios mio…What just happened? Why are Agent [Y/N] and Yoru in here? “Shawdn’t” they be asleep?

Sage: Oh my goodness. Agent Shaw, we can’t thank you enough.

[Y/N]: Mhm. Yeah. That’s all good. Uh you’ll sleep tight now. Come on, Yoru.

Yoru: You owe me one.

[Y/N]: Don’t worry. I’ll return the “favor.”

[Both Yoru and [Y/N] leave the infirmary.]

Adam Zyglis :: @adamzyglis :: Four years of darkness…

* * *

President Biden visited Maryland on Friday afternoon and spoke about the tragedy, recovery, and future promise of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore Harbor. He began by acknowledging that six of those killed in the tragedy were immigrants working to repair the road surface on the bridge:

The damage is devastating, and our hearts are still breaking. Eight construction workers went into the water when the bridge fell. Six lost their lives. Most were immigrants, but all were Marylanders — hard-working, strong, and selfless.

See White House.gov, Remarks by President Biden on Rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge and Reopening the Port of Baltimore.

President Biden also spoke about the historical significance of the bridge and its promise for the future:

Let me close with this. This port is over 300 years old. . . . This port is older than our Republic. And it’s been through tough, tough times before. During the war of 1812, a young Marylander named Francis Scott Key, for whom the bridge is named after, sat in a boat in this very harbor, and he watched — he watched the British troops launch attack after attack on American forces. But as the dawn broke, we saw the American flag still flying, Baltimore was still standing, and our nation, as he wrote in the “Star-Spangled Banner,” had made it through a perilous fight. Folks, this is going to take time, but Governor Moore [and] others are going to rebuild this bridge as rapidly as possible. And, folks, we’re determined to come back even stronger.

As President Biden was delivering sober, hopeful remarks after a tragedy, Trump was making wild allegations on a conservative talk radio show—claiming that President Biden was high on cocaine during the State of the Union address.

No major media outlet covered Trump's unhinged comments, but the “news” segment of Saturday Night Live did cover Trump's accusations—noting that Trump frequently accuses others of engaging in the conduct that he engages in himself. See YouTube, Weekend Update: Trump Claims Biden Is on Cocaine, Earthquake Rattles Northeast - SNL. (Reference to Trump accusation begins at 1:00 minute mark.)

This is no laughing matter. As Dan Pfeiffer notes,

I’m guessing that . . . most of you are learning this information for the first time. And it's not because you aren’t avid consumers of news. It’s because the traditional political media decided to ignore this outlandish accusation from a clearly deranged and dishonest man.

See Dan Pfeiffer on Substack, Why is the Press Making Trump Seem More Normal? (messageboxnews.com). Pfeifer continued his critique, noting that the major media outlets find a few coherent passages scattered in Trump's most recent unhinged campaign speech and use those snippets to make Trump seem normal:

He does a rally or interview filled with insane, incoherent ramblings and then the [news media] clips the most coherent 30-45 seconds to air as part of the package.

The good news is that Trump can’t hide forever at Mar-a-Lago. Several reasons are forcing Trump to come out of hiding and address issues of substance or legal jeopardy. Those reasons include:
