@darkcrowprincess OOH I JUST CAME UP WITH SOMETHING- DBSBDBBD
*Po and the furious five were beating up a bunch of bad guys as per usual in the valley, whilst confronting them, the wolf bandits start mocking Po and Tigress*
Wolf bandit leader to Tigress: "HAHAHA! Sorry to break it to you, kitty, but you and your pudgy boyfriend are no match for us!"
Tigress, growling: "'kitty'?"
Po, taking a double take: "wait- 'BOYFRIEND'???"
The five and the group of bandits they're beating up: *freezes midfight* "uh oh."
Tigress, pounding her fist together: "I'll show you who's a kitty-"
Po, holding Tigress back: "WHOA WHOA WHOA FREEZE, PAUSE, TIMEOUT- I'M NOT- ME AND TIGRESS ARE NOT TOGETHER!"
The bandit leader: "you're not?"
The five and the rest of the bandits: "you're not??"
Tigress, surprisingly: "we're not?"
Po, flustered and sputtering: "wha-HUH-WAIT WHY ARE YOU ASKING THAT??"

I've once again had 6 hours to process everything I saw in season 4 so I'm just gonna say my thoughts on it (hold onto your fedoras again folks)
first off, WE FOUND OUT GRAY'S LAST NAME?? I was so shocked and happy at the same time I love how everyone asked for player's real name and we ended up with gray's surname for some reason shsjsj. NOBODY ASKED FOR THAT BUT THEY DELIVERED ANYWAY
ALSO GRAHAM IS AN ORPHAN?? my precious boy *throws mommy's boy headcanon out the window*
the second episode really had me shipping carmivy they're so cute we got a girl's trip and I'm all for it
I think I may now be a dash haber stan but let's not make a big thing of it
also ivy eating the chocolate in the middle of a mission deserves an honorable mention because of her cute little tongue (I'm weird okay djsjsjs)
zack trying to bond with shadowsan and him having none of it was delightful
that fucking robot god damn bellum really thought of everything didn't she every time I thought it was gone it made a come back I literally said out loud "carmen is so fucked"
I SWEAR TO GOD EVERY TIME GRAY TALKED ABOUT CARMEN I KEPT THINKING HE WAS GONNA SAY "BECAUSE I LOVE HER" IN WHICH CASE I WOULD HAVE DIED AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY
yall have no idea how relieved I was when I found out that photo of julia was her and her (presumably) mother and NOT a boyfriend sjsjsjs
catch me making a headcanon that julia has a single mom because her father disowned her for coming out as gay based on that picture alone 😭
I'M SORRY BUT THE AMOUNT OF FLIRTING BETWEEN CARMEN AND JULES?? PLEASE THEY'RE SECRET GIRLFRIENDS JUST ADMIT YOU CENSORED THEM AND GO
OKAY BUT WHEN THEY WERE IN JULIA'S OFFICE AND CARMEN SAID "WAY TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART JULES" AND SHE WAS LIKE "YOU REMEMBERED" I LOST IT WHAT DID CARMEN REMEMBER JULES?? DID THEY HAVE A CONVERSATION OFF SCREEN? MAYBE I'M JUST A BIG HUGE LESBIAN BUT THAT'S A BIT GAY LADIES
carmen getting all worried when julia wasn't answering her phone was the blessed gay content I signed up for PLEASE THEY CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER SO MUCH
never thought I'd say this but I loved devineaux this season he was funny, he improved his treatment towards julia (I don't recall him officially apologising I must have missed something djsjsjs)
the only thing I didn't like was it kinda seemed like they were trying to hint that chase and jules were into each other and I didn't really vibe with that
all that shit with dr bellum and the crown for cleo really had me thinking cleobellum was gonna be canon what a clown I am (seriously tho the way she lost it when the crown got stolen GIVE IT BACK IT BELONGS TO HER WIFE)
look all I'm saying is: tigress new outfit in the egypt episode was hot
HER FACE AT THE END AFTER SHE GOT TRAPPED WITH ALL THOSE BUGS
I wish julia and gray could have met there's so much friendship potential there 😭
is player... is he a bit 💅 I SEE THAT PRIDE STICKER ON YOUR LAPTOP YOUNG MAN YOU'RE NOT SUBTLE
ngl I nearly teared up when player finally met carmen in person
I'M SORRY BUT JULIA'S BLUSH IN EPISODE 7 PLEASE SHE'S SO SMITTEN WITH CARMEN IT'S BRILLIANT
EVIL CARMEN WAS REALLY SOMETHING ELSE I WAS SO SCARED SHE'D BE STUCK LIKE THAT FOREVER
I mentioned this in another post but when julia was like "don't you remember me? I'm your girlfriend friend, jules" I NEARLY FUCKING CRIED THEY WERE GETTING KINDA CLOSE AND THEN CARMEN GOT MIND WIPED
JULIA TOPS JULIA TOPS I SAID IT ALL ALONG AND IT'S TRUE SHE REALLY PINNED VILE CARMEN THAT'S TOP BEHAVIOR (also this now makes carmen a bottom I don't make the rules)
kinda shocked that paper star was hardly here I don't stan her so it didn't bother me much but still it was just strange they didn't use her this season
when shadowsan whipped out the last doll and carmen had all those flashbacks to when she was at vile I nearly started crying AGAIN
I LEGIT THOUGHT CARMEN HAD KILLED GRAY DJSJSJS AN ELECTRICIAN GETTING ELECTROCUTED THAT'S SOME IRONY RIGHT THERE
gray really confused me towards the end he kept switching sides every five minutes for the whole season I wasn't sure whether to trust him half the time dhshsjs
THE LOOK ON CARMEN'S FACE WHEN SHE THOUGHT SHE'D KILLED GRAY WAS SO HEARTBREAKING AND THEN SHE STARTED CRYING OH MY GOD I'M SORRY BABY
the way she's always been against hurting people/taking lives and then she ended up hurting all the people she loves (she nearly killed zack for god sake) really hit me hard
gray's ending was... kinda weird I understood the parallel of him not wanting to complicate carmen's life like she said about him in season 2 but it was still kinda strange that they didn't have one more conversation or get any closure
I'm obviously kinda upset that carulia wasn't canon they had so much potential imo and the show isn't about romance anyway BUT I'm happy with the content we got and THEY FLIRTED SO MUCH THEY'RE CANON IN MY HEART
THE TEAM RED GROUP HUG KILLED ME IT WAS SO CUTE
kinda annoyed that carmen just straight up left zack and ivy she really just left a note and said YEET
ivy's voice crack when she read the note got me all choked up
ngl I'm still not entirely sure how it ended I had to rewatch it a few times to understand what they were trying to imply sjsjsj
would have loved to know carmen's given name but at the same time she's literally THE carmen sandiego that's who she is, it would be silly to go by a name that she doesn't connect with just because her parents gave her it
her mom being a regular citizen was kinda bittersweet I mean a plot twist would have been good but at the same time it would make the story even more complicated
*dreams of a spinoff movie where we get better closure on everything*
ACME IVY ACME IVY I'M NOT AN IVY STAN BUT DAMN IF I AIN'T SIMPING FOR ACME IVY
I know carmen didn't want revenge but I feel like chief got let off with killing her father way too quickly if I'm honest sjsjsj
JULIA BEING IN CHARGE OF FINDING CARMEN'S MOM OH MY GOSH
I feel so bad for laughing when julia got knocked out the way the cloth fell on her head sent me but when the pole hit her head I was like "OKAY I TAKE IT BACK THIS ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE"
was not expecting julia to physically fight anyone I mean she's always been so calm and collected and then this season she was like fuck it might as well hit a few people before we finish forever
wishing carmen and jules could have hugged or had a scene together where they talked about stockholm but I won't complain it wouldn't have really made sense anyway considering they were cool with each other at the university
so glad the trailer was misleading about the coach brunt situation I really didn't want her to get a last minute redemption
another honorable mention: cleo snapping at julia "DON'T YOU DARE IMPLY THAT I AM COMMON" sent me djdjs she was just stood there like "I am but a humble history lesbian leave me be"
I think that's everything I'll probably add to it later if I think of anything or I might make a part 2 djsjsjs (I've been writing this for almost an hour now 😭)
overall I enjoyed it from start to finish. I haven't really cried about it ending yet I'm still processing everything but I'll probably have a little sob when it finally hits me djsjsjs
CARULIA NATION WE BASICALLY WON NOW EXCUSE ME WHILE I REWATCH ALL THEIR SCENES TOGETHER AND MAKE IT MY ENTIRE PERSONALITY

We’re Just Friends
A/N: This is an idea that me and @that-scouse-wizard have chatted about while ago. Now that I thought about it, it wouldn’t leave me alone. So here it is.
I hope you guys enjoy this silly one-shot. I would make it super concrete and specific but I don’t have the energy for that.
Just know nobody is truly dating anyone (Judith and Talbott aren’t together yet, neither is David and Merula)
MC friend: David Willows ( @that-scouse-wizard )
------------------
Anybody who’s been at Hogwarts long enough has heard about David Willows and Judith Harris.
Siblings of the missing Jacob Hall and Jamal Harris.
Hufflepuff’s feared Beaters, known as Hound and Tigress.
The proclaimed Heroes of Hogwarts.
What started off as a simple teammate relationship on the Quidditch pitch turned into an unbreakable bond. The two were thick as thieves, making sure to have each other’s backs through everything. 
You want to talk smack about one of them? Be ready to be grilled within an inch of your life by the other.
You want to try to engage in argument with the pair? Be prepared to walk away in shambles. 
You want to try to gang up on one of them? The other usually not too far away to act as backup.
Cursed Vaults? Psh, the two will be on the front lines, ready to take on whatever danger there is.
Many people have often wondered if the two were more than just friends. 
It’s a common thing to see Judith fussing over David after a rough training session or after he got into fight. Or to see David giving the sleeping Judith a piggyback ride back to their Common Room.
David grew up to be a handsome young lad. Pale skin, dark brown hair with warm dark brown eyes to match. With the help of his growth spurt, he grew up to be a solid 5′11. Thanks to his constant training and his position as a Beater, he maintain an athletic, muscular figure. It was no secret he had his fair share of admirers, girls often giggling or blushing at the sight of the Hufflepuff wizard.
Judith grew up as well. Upon entering Hogwarts, she was a small, slim girl. An easy target to those who didn’t know her and someone often overlooked. As the years passed, she grew to be a beauty. Dark skin, brown-black hair, with pale gold eyes. She didn’t grow past 5′6 (and a half as she normally stresses), making her one of the shorter members of their group of friends. But it suited her, especially with her body build. While she was still on the slim side, her body fill out and reveal womanly curves. Her training with David and Quidditch helped her maintain this figure. While guys still fear her due to her strength and fighting skills, that didn’t stop them from staring at the Hufflepuff witch when she came into view.
Two good looking people with a bond like theirs? They had to be together. There’s no way they would be just friends.
At least that’s what everyone who wasn’t friends with them thought.
--------------------
“David.” The Hufflepuff wizard in questioned turned to his head to his friend.
“Yeah? what’s up, Judith,” he asked. The young witch’s brows were furrowed, as if she was trying to figure something out.
“Have you head the latest rumor going on,” she questioned him. David shook his head, curious to what the students at Hogwarts have came up with this time.
“Someone started a rumor saying that we were dating...” David blinked once before letting out a unattractive snort.
“Us? Dating? Merlin’s beard, people must’ve gone mad,” he laughed. Judith let a soft chuckle.
“You’re not wrong. Especially when we’re in own respective crushes,” she smirked. David took a deep breath to help calm down.
“So, what do you want to do about it? You wanna mess with some peoples’ heads or shut down the rumor,” David asked. Judith’s expression turned into thoughtful one. Very rarely would she tolerate tomfoolery, let alone entertain it.
This was a pretty stupid rumor.
David and her have been friends ever since second year. Never once has she looked at him that way.
Especially not when a loner Ravenclaw caught her eye during the beginning of their third year...
As stupid as the rumor is, it was kind of funny. In a way she can kind of see how people would think that they were dating.
Very rarely would she mess around and entertain something for her own amusement...
But she’ll make the exception this time,
“I’m down to have a laugh,” she finally said. David cracked a smile and laughed.
“I agree.”
-----------------------
Judith and David were cackling in their empty Common Room.
It’s been two days since they decided to have fun with this rumor and the reactions were well worth it.
The wide eyes, jaw dropped and jealous looks they received when they were being “affectionate” never failed to make them smirk.
They made sure to hold hands where everyone could see.
Casually flirt with one another when people where in earshot.
David would sometimes play with her hair. 
Judith would occasionally feel up on David’s biceps.
Hell, just earlier that day, Judith was sitting on David’s lap in the Courtyard. They were revising for Charms class as they did this, quizzing each other as they remain close. Guys were glaring at David as he had his arm wrapped around his friend’s waist. Girls turned red out of jealous rage as Judith occasionally nuzzled him.
They definitely looked like the “perfect” couple everyone thought them to be.
“Whew, that was the best laugh I’ve had in awhile,” Judith gasped, leaning on David for support. David rested a hand over his heaving chest, trying to compose himself.
“Honestly! You would think our House mates would know better. They’ve never seen us that close,” he snorted.
Judith let out a soft chuckle.
“You’re not wrong, Hound. Ahhh, I think it;s time to put this rumor to rest.” David nodded with a smile.
Little did they know, their little stunt soon reached a certain Ravenclaw and Slytherin...
-----------------------
Talbott growled, ready to rip David a new one. 
Normally he would ignore rumors and such, but when he heard his crush’s name being mentioned, he couldn’t help but to tune into the whispers around him.
He didn’t like what he heard.
‘David is lucky bloke to score a girl like Judith.’
‘David and Judith make such a cute couple, don’t you think?’
‘Ugh! I can’t believe Judith is with him! Now I’ll never get a chance to be with David.’
‘David is such a smug bastard. He’s basically showing off that he managed to lock down one of the prettiest witches at Hogwarts.’
‘Did you see how they were all cuddled up in the Courtyard?’
“If I hear one more time how perfect David and Judith are, I will puke.”
Talbott felt angry towards both of them. He was angry at David for stealing Judith and he was angry at Judith messing with his feelings.
He liked her for quite some time. And it looked like that she returned his feelings. Until he’s heard that she was dating David Willows.
Talbott was hurt and pissed off. He was a bit insecure about himself and the idea of her and David made that insecurity rear its ugly head.
He wasn’t as outgoing as David. 
He didn’t have David’s strength or fighting prowess.
He was no Quidditch player (while he believe that he could make a decent Seeker or Keeper, he couldn’t compare to a Beater. Players who could strike fear into the hearts of others).
He didn’t even have David’s looks. While he felt like he looked decent, he didn’t really have girls openly fawning over him or blushing and giggling after him.
He was a loner who preferred the company of a good book or birds. Hell, there were people who said he looked like their long lost cousin.
David looked like he had everything. Including the girl he’s been pining over for Gods know how long. Talbott just reached outside of the Hufflepuff Common Room where he met a Slytherin witch with a similar murderous expression on her face.
----------------
Merula’s blood was boiling. 
All day she’s been hearing about how cute Willows and Harris was and she’s at her wits end.
Out of all the witches David could’ve picked, he picked Harris? That bloody disgrace Jamal Harris’s sister?!
What the hell did she have that Merula didn’t?!
Merula is the Most Powerful Witch at Hogwarts!
‘Have you won a duel against Harris since you got here?’ Well no, but-
‘Did you forget that she can easily defend herself? Or did you forget the bruises and broken nose she gave you back in third year?’ No, but I-
‘Have you bested her at Flying class? Have you ever won a race against her on your new broom?’ Not yet-
‘Can you conjure a powerful corporeal Patronus?’ I haven’t-
‘Do you have a position on the Quidditch team?’ No, but who wants to play that stupid game anyways?!
‘Easy, David does. And Harris can.’
Merula internally growled at her thoughts. She was angry at Harris for walking around Hogwarts as if she was better than everyone else. As if she was better than her.
She was strong, powerful and apparently beautiful. Merula has even heard Slytherin wizards who picked on her when they were in their earlier years talk about how “pretty” and “beautiful” she was.
Now she stolen Willows’s attention from her!
She stood outside the Hufflepuff Common Room, waiting for the two to emerge when a Ravenclaw wizard stormed up.
“What you doing here,” she questioned with narrowed eyes. Talbott rolled his eyes, not in the mood to deal with the “Most Powerful Witch at Hogwarts”.
“Wouldn’t you like to know,” he snarked. Merula glared and was about to retort something when the door swung open.
David and Judith were surprised to find their respective crushes in front of their Common Room, suddenly glaring at them.
“You have some explaining to do, Willows,” Merula hissed.
“We need to have a talk, Judith,” Talbott said coldly. 
The two Hufflepuff glanced at each other before back at the Ravenclaw and Slytherin trying to murder them with their eyes.
“Yeah...”
“What the hell is going on between you two?!” Both Hufflepuff winced at the loud yell coming from the enraged pair.
“Whoa, easy with the hostility. We’re just friends,” Judith said. David nodded.
“Yeah, there’s nothing going on between us,” David added. Talbott and Merula narrowed their eyes.
“’Just friends’? That’s sure as hell not what I heard, Judith,” Talbott huffed.
“Friends don’t cuddle up in public together, Willows. Don’t bullshit me,” Merula growled. 
Judith tilted her head to the side and David rose a brow.
“Wait, wait, wait. You mean to tell us, you believe those rumors,” the Hufflepuff witch asked.
“Who the hell are we suppose to believe,” Merula snorted.
“Us, of course,” David said coolly.
“How do would we know you’re not lying,” Talbott asked. David and Judith looked at each other and back at them.
“Maybe because we don’t like each other like that,” Judith offered.
“Maybe because we could’ve gotten together a long time ago if that was the case,” David added.
“Maybe because we never started flirting with each other until a rumor started?”
Maybe because our friends, especially in Hufflepuff, would’ve saw this coming a long time ago?”
“Or maybe because we wouldn’t lie to you because we care about you,” they finished together. Talbott and Merula looked at them shocked before they’ve started blushing.
Judith and David shared eerily similar smirks that made the Ravenclaw wizard and Slytherin witch take a step back.
“Is there something you want to tell us,” Judith asked in a sing-a-long voice. Talbott shook his head.
“W-what?! N-no,” Talbott denied, though his voice didn’t come out as forceful as he hoped.
“Is it possible you were jealous,” David teased. Merula blushed harder.
“M-me? Jealous of H-Harris?! Get real, Willows! The Most Powerful Witch at Hogwarts doesn’t get j...jealous,” Merula snapped weakly. 
“Are you sure,” Judith continued, thoroughly enjoying seeing the two squirm.
“I-I... I have no reason to be jealous of David,” Talbott retorted.
“Are you sure you don’t like us? Even a little bit,” David chuckled, enjoying the rare sight as well.
Talbott and Merula didn’t even answer and they took off in separate directions, seeking the relief from the unexpected interrogation from the Hufflepuff duo.
David and Judith laughed as they headed upstairs. 
With the fact that Merula and Talbott may feel the same way about them, they had more of a reason to disband the rumor of them being together.
After all, they had to be single of they wanted to get with their crush...

Spoilers Ahead for Stargirl S1 E12 "Stars and Stripes Pt.1"
Spoilers ahead: You have been warned!!!
Overall Episode: 9.5/10
Tigress and Sportsmaster Vs. The Whitmore/Dugan duo. Let me just say that both fights were just Barbara and Pat getting thrown around until Courtney and Mike save them.
Dr.Ito and setting up Brainwave on the machine. Let me say I loved how he tied him up before telling him the risks....villains.
The Meetup of the team at the cabin. It was good because we saw the emotion and love from the team and how close they have become since E4/5.
Mike then learns about the JSA a bit and how he thought that the staff would work for him if he found it first.
Tigress killing the Fiddler or Bowen. Like I know they were saying this about Artemis, but did they have to kill her. That literally was another member killed because they were one easy to kill.
Rick still trying to figure out the equations and Pat helping him find it was in his fathers favorite car. And if you look back to E5 you see him hand Rick one of them. So Easter eggs since E5.
Yolanda still feeling guilty for Henry's death.
Rex figuring out all the tunnels and putting the equations in code was genius so his son could figure them out someday. I just love how he was able to find them all. And know there plans like nine years ago.
Beth and Chucks relationship now and how they work great together. Including when they were hacking and how Chuck sticks up to Beth infront of Gambler.
How all of the JSA adults got mind possessed or whatever you call controlled by Brainwave. But seriously that was perfect timing after all of them were either in the tunnels or in Project America building.
What I predict and wish that could happen in Stargirl S1 E13 "Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. Pt.2"
Henry Jr. Some how lived and return. I doubt he will but hey I have a little hope left.
Icicle dies after fighting Courtney but it was an accident and that is what leads up to Cameron at the end being reveled that he finds out he has powers.
If Icicle isn't killed then he is very injured like Brainwave and is in the hospital.
The JSA stop the satellite before it can effect anyone.
Showdown between the JSA and ISA.
Artemis or Cameron discover the ISA at the very end and we kinda see a peak at them being evil or maybe hating their parents. But in a way where we get a reveal and it shocks us and wishing that Season 2 can come quicker.
Barbara, Pat, and Justin somehow will break out of the mind control from either one of the other JSA members breaking them out of the mind controlled state or something bad happens and they break out.
Ok I will be back next week for Stargirl S1 E12 "STARS AND STRIPES Pt.2" to give another review and spoilers. So see you next week for my last spoiler and review until Season 2.

“She’s got spunk” Yu Yu Hakusho Jin x OC Fanfiction (Part 3)
“Well I can’t promise that, Seeing as you're definitely going to fall in love with me.”  He told her with a wink.
“Get a room you two...” Yusuke said as Kuwabara pretended to gag.
“I think they are cute!” Yukina said walking up to the group holding hands with Olivia.  Along with the rest of Ivy’s friends.
“I agree!” Chimed Sophia, as Kurama then greeted her with a wave and a smile which she happily returned.  She then walked over to stand next to him and made conversation with him while the rest of the group continued to talk. 
“But they really should get a room.  And maybe couples counselling.  Ivy clearly doesn't know how to express her feelings.”  Hiei stated bluntly, referring back to Ivy and Jin.  
“Bitch!  You are one to talk!”  Ivy exclaimed angrily.  “Hey!  What are you doing?!  Put me down!” Ivy said as Jin picked her up bridal style.
“Nope!  It's getting too crowded here!  Besides that!  You said you’d go out with me, remember?”  Jin said with a grin as Ivy blushed.  Jin then took off flying with Ivy in his arms and took them to the part of forest where the two first met. 
As Jin flew them away, Shishiwakamaru could be heard sobbing somewhere in the arena.  
“No!  My chance at true love!  Gone!  Gone with the wind!  Why?!”  he wept.
“Shut up Shishi…”  Sazuka sighed, irritated as Shishi continued to sob silently.
Back with Ivy's friends...  
“So…  Are you two like dating or something?”  Kuwabara asked Oliva and Yukina.
“We are.” Oliva told him while putting her arm around Yukina and pulling her close to her, also causing Hiei to glare daggers at her.  
“By the way, Hiei can we talk to you?” Yukina asked, surprising Hiei who nonetheless agreed and walked with the two women away from the rest of the group.
“What did you two want?”  Hiei asked coldly.
“Go on…  Tell him!”  Olivia encouraged Yukina.  
“Hiei, I know you are my brother...  But I want to hear it from you!”  She pleaded, almost in tears.
Hiei’s eyes widened.  “How…? Who…? How…? What…?” He said at a loss for words.
“Ivy could smell it Hiei.  You can't deny it, we know.”  Olivia told him.
Hiei sighed.  “Yes, I am your brother…  I’m sorry I’m not better…”  Hiei said as he started to turn around and walk away.  But before he could Yukina hugged him from behind.  
“What do you mean?  You are a great brother.  I'm so glad I finally found you...”  Yukina said as a few tears fell from her eyes, turning into gems as they fell.
“...Thank you…”  Hiei said, actually smiling a real smile for what may have been the first time in his life.
“What do you think they are talking about?”  Piper asked Kuwabara.  The two were hiding in the bushes nearby, watching this encounter take place.  
“I don’t know…  But it must be good to make Hiei actually smile.  That or it's a sign of the apocalypse.”  Kuwabara stated, as a shiver went down his spine.  
   Meanwhile, back with Ivy and Jin.
Jin landed in the familiar area of the forest with Ivy still in his arms.  Ivy had been clinging to him tightly without realizing it.  Her arms around his neck and face buried in his chest.  She still had yet to let go or remove her face even moments after landing.  “Well lass, not that I’m complaining but you know you can let go now right?”  He asked her with a smile.  Ivy slowly opened her eyes “I mean if you don’t want to though that's fine with me too!  Like I said, no complaints here!” He said with a big grin and a bit of a chuckle.  Ivy quickly scrambled out of the man's arms and onto her feet.  She fixed her outfit and refused to look at him, her cheeks reddening.  Jin smiled a kind smile at her.  He stepped closer to her and took her chin in his hand and tilted her head to look at him, while he wrapped his other arm around her waist to pull her closer to him.  “Why are you so embarrassed? He asked her, bringing his face closer to hers.
“I-I’m not!”  She protested.  
“Are you nervous?”  He inquired.
“No!” She exclaimed.  
“Then what's wrong?” He asked.
Ivy sighed.  “I don't know…  Maybe Hiei was right about me…  Maybe I don't know how to express my emotions…”  Ivy questioned to herself really more than to Jin.
“Well, that's why I’m here now.  We can work on that together.  We can help each other grow and become better.  That is, if you would like that?”  He told her, and then looked at her with hopeful puppy eyes awaiting her response.  
Ivy thought for a moment then smiled.  “Yes, Yes I think I would like that.” she told him.
Jins ears wiggled with glee at her answer as he then kissed her on the forehead, causing Ivy to blush and hide her face.  Which in return caused Jin to chuckle and gently hold her cheek in the palm of his hand to look at him as he sweetly told her “I promise to cherish you always…”  He said as he looked into her eyes.
“Oh…  You’ve replaced me already Ivy?”  Said a voice that Ivy had not heard in a long time...  
Ivy and Jin looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman leaning against a tree crossing her arms. She had straight, platinum blond hair cut just above her shoulders, blue eyes with a deep scar over the left one.  She wore a leather  jacket with a red shirt underneath and ripped black jeans and black studded combat boots. 
“Addison…?” Ivy breathed out.
“In the flesh.”  smirked the woman as she pushed herself off of the tree and began to walk towards Ivy and Jin, seeming like a tigress stalking her prey.  
Jin could sense something was off about this new woman and got in front of Ivy, shielding her protectively.  
“Awww how cute.  He thinks he can protect you from me.”  She laughed as Jin glared, the wind around the area beginning to get stronger.  “Calm down Hercules.  I'm not going to hurt anyone.  Yet…  I mean after all, mine and Ivy's fight isn't until tomorrow!” She told them with a wicked laugh as she walked away.  
“Who was that?”  Jin asked, calming down a bit now as the wind began to calm down as well.  
Ivy sighed.  “An old running buddy of mine.  I used to hunt monsters with her.  I met her at a bar in my rebellious years.  Also... She was my girlfriend…” Ivy explained  
“Girlfriend?”  Jin asked, confused.
“Yes Jin, I’m bisexual, also demisexual.  Is that a problem?”  Ivy told him.  
“No not at all.  Just surprised me a bit is all.  But love is love lassy”  Jin said with a smile which Ivy returned happily.  
Soon Jin and Ivy decided to call it a day so Ivy could rest up for her team's matches tomorrow.  Jin flew Ivy back to the hotel and dropped her off at her room.
“Good night lass.  And good luck tomorrow!”  Jin told her and he gave her a tight hug and another peck on the forehead.  
“Thank you Jin.  I will see you tomorrow.”  Ivy said as she walked into her room to see her teammates looking at her with eager eyes.  Yusuke and Kuwabara also wore goofy smiles on their faces.   
“Spill the tea sis.”  Yusuke said. 
“Yeah how’d it go girl?”  Kuwabara asked.
“Stop harassing Ivy you two.”  Kurama scolded as Ivy felt a wave of relief.  “But if he hurt you in any way just let us know and we will take care of it.”  Kurama said grimly.   
“Jesus christ Kurama…”  Yusuke muttered.
“What do you expect?  Ivy is one of us now.”  Hiei stated nonchalantly. The group got quiet and looked at Hiei in surprise.  “What?  Why are you all looking at me like that?”  he asked, annoyed.  
Ivy smiled at him “I always knew you were just a big ol softie!  Well I guess in your case it would be little ol softie!”  Ivy laughed as Hiei glared at her embarrassed, causing her to laugh more.  “I’m sorry Hiei.  But it's nice to know you care about me.   That goes for all of you actually.”  Ivy told the group with a kind smile. 
“Of course Ivy, you are our friend now and there's no changing that!  We got your back, no matter what.”  Yusuke told her, giving her a thumbs up as the rest of the group agreed with him.  
“Aww thanks you guys!”  Ivy said as she went over and hugged them all in a group hug, having to pull Hiei into it with the rest of them.  
“Well we should probably all get some rest.  We have the fight with team Toguro tomorrow...”  Kurama stated after the hug ended.  After he said this the atmosphere in the room changed to be filled with anxiety as everyone's mood got much darker.  Ivy debated with telling the group about Addison but decided against it due to everyone already being worried about their own fight.  
The following morning the team headed to the arena, ready to fight in what would be the toughest fights yet in this tournament.  
The first fight was between Kurama and Karasu.  Kurama started off by using a technique with razor sharp rose petals floating around him in the battlefield.  Karusu was unfazed and began his own attack with his special bomb attacks.  Soon Kurama transformed into Youko Kurama and used a killer plant which at first appeared to have eaten Karasu.  But It was quickly made obvious that was not the case when Karasu started to attack Kurama with another bomb, burying him in rubble.  When Kurama dug himself out he had transformed back into his human self.  Eventually Kurama ended up killing Karasu with a death plant.  
“Winner!  Karasu!”  Juri exclaimed. 
“Bitch what?”  Ivy said, angrily.
“Yeah!  Hey fish girl!  You wanna tell me how a living guy loses to a dead guy?”  Yusuke said, marching up to Juri, grabbing her arm.
“I would appreciate it if you would remove your hand please.”  Juri calmly told him.
“I would appreciate it if you removed your head from your ass!”  Yusuke shouted at her.
“Your friend was down for ten counts!  He lost!  Deal with it!”  Juri said as she turned away from Yusuke, huffily crossing her arms.  
The next fight was Hiei vs Bui.  It was a long fight that almost seemed never ending.  But eventually it did indeed end with Hiei as the victor.  Hiei also chose to spare Bui’s life after the fight.  
The third fight was Kuwabara vs The elder Toguro brother.  During the early portion of the fight, things looked bad for Kuwabara.  But in the end he managed to win and even developed a new technique, a spirit fly swatter.  Which is what allowed his victory to occur.  
“Next fighters to the ring please!”  Koto exclaimed enthusiastically.
“You're up Ivy” Yusuke stated, looking in the brunette's direction.
Ivy made her way into the ring and came face to face with Addison.
An Irish voice could be heard cheering louder than anyone else in the stadium. “Woo!  Go Ivy!  Yeah!  That's my lassy!”  Jin cheered. 
“Your boyfriend sure is obnoxious isn't he?” Addison sneered.
“Watch your fucking mouth.  Only I can be mean to him!”  Ivy snarled.
Jin's eyes gleamed and his ears wiggled with pride.  “Yeah!  That's right!  Only she can be mean to me!” He exclaimed.  
“Fucking masocist…”  Touya muttered under his breath as Jin looked over at him and winked.  Touya shuddered in disgust “Weirdo…”
“Shut the fuck up Jin!”  Ivy shouted angrily into the crowd in Jins direction.
“What kind of relationship do those two have?”  Hiei shuddered in confusion and disgust.  
“Okay that's enough of that!  Let the battle begin!”  Juri announced with a wave of her arm.  
As Ivy was getting ready to attack, Addison pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it at Ivy's feet.  Ivy began to cough and then quickly realized something was wrong.  
“What did you do to me?”  Ivy asked with a glare as the smoke was already subsiding.   
“I evened the playing field.  None of those freakish monster powers of yours in this fight.”  Addison said, pulling out a silver stake.  “Now…  I hope you are ready my dear…”  Addison said chillingly.  Addison then began to make her way towards Ivy who was currently digging in her bag.  Addison was standing right in front of Ivy ready  to attack when Ivy pulled out a blow dart and hit Addison with one of the darts in it.  Addison grabbed her neck where the dart had struck her.
  “You dirty little…”   She growled as she then hit Ivy hard with the back of her hand, knocking her to the ground.  Addison climbed on top of Ivy and began to try and plunge the stake into her chest.  Ivy grabbed onto  the stake to prevent it from stabbing her.  In the midst of the struggle Ivy looked up at Addison and recalled the history the two of them shared together, causing her to ease up ever so slightly in her defense.  Addison took that opportunity to drive the stake directly into Ivys heart.  Killing her.  
“Winner!  Addison!”  Juri exclaimed.
Addison stood up and laughed maniacally.  “I did it!  I finally did it!  After all these years, I killed you Ivy!  Victory is mi-” she started to say but was unable to finish as she began to stagger.  She looked at Ivy's body angrily, remembering the blow dart.  She fell to her knees, clutching her neck where the dart had hit her. “You little bitch…”  She said weakly before she died as well.
“Why isn't Ivy moving yet?” Keiko asked, looking at Shizuru and Boton.  Shizuru started crying quietly and Botan began weeping uncontrollably.  Keiko realized what this meant and followed their example.  They were not the only ones who were upset Yukina was also sobbing as Olivia, Piper, Sophia, and Leon were sitting there in shock and unsure of what really just happened and how to react and process it.   
Ivy's teammates ran onto the area stage.  Kuwabara picked her limp body up in his arms, tears falling from his eyes.  “Ivy!  Ivy wake up!”  He cried, shaking her in an attempt to awaken her.
“She’s gone human.” Hiei said numbly, his eyes beginning to actually well up.  
Kuwabara carried Ivy’s body out of the ring.  It was then that everyone noticed the wind in the arena picking up and getting stronger and stronger almost to the point of a hurricane when all the sudden it just stopped.  It suddenly starts back up again but this time is very gentle and seems to have a sadness about it.
Touya put his hand on Jin’s arm.  “Hey man…  I’m sorry…”  He said in a gentle whisper.  
Jin began crying softly and his friends then engulfed him in a hug as he continued to cry.
“This is fucking stupid…  Ivy didn't deserve that!” Yusuke shouted, enraged.  
Toguro then entered the arena, Yusuke looked over at him and glared angrily “At least I have an outlet for all this anger right now…”  he said cracking his knuckles and entering the arena himself.    
“Begin!” Juri exclaimed.
Yusuke started off by removing his spirit shackles and accessing all of his spirit energy.  The fight went on for a while but in the end Yusuke defeated Toguro by using the last of his energy to fire off a strong spirit gun, killing Toguro.
“That was for Ivy…”  Yusuke muttered coldly.
Then, Koto and Juri both walked up onto the arena next to each other “Winner of the tournament!  Team Urameshi!”  They both chimed.  
A voice then came over the loudspeaker.  “Thank you all for coming to the dark tournament.  I just wanted to inform you that I along with this stadium will be destroyed in 15 minutes.  If you do not wish to die then I suggest you get out now.” Said the voice belonging to Sakkyo.  
“We have to get out of here!”  Kuwabara exclaimed.  
The group began to make their escape but not before Hiei picked Ivy's body up and put her over his shoulder.  
“She was right!  You are a softie!”  Yusuke teased as the group continued to run to the exit.  Hiei just glared in return.  
The group came together with the girls and Ivy’s other friends and kept running to get out together.
The group soon reached a dead end.  
“What do we do?”  Keiko cried.  But before anyone could even respond the dead end was blown open by Jin, Touya, Chu, and Rinku.  
“Just in time!”  Yusuke exclaimed with a grin.  
Jin saw Ivy being carried by Hiei and reached out for her.  Hiei rolled his eyes and handed her over to him.  Jin began to tear up again.  
“Jin!  We don't have time for you to cry right now!  Let's get to safety first and then you can cry all you want!” Chu told him, pulling him along.   Jin was careful not to drop Ivy as they made their escape.  
Finally, the group made it to safety.  The stadium exploded moments after. 
“Oh!  You were supposed to get a wish!”  Botan exclaimed.  
The group sadly looked over at Ivy who was being cradled in a sobbing Jins arms.  
“It doesn't matter…  Those bastards wouldn't have been able to give us what we wanted anyways…”  Yusuke muttered.  
The group later had a funeral for Ivy, laying her on a bed of flowers as they said their teary goodbyes.  
The next day Team Urameshi and friends were getting ready to depart from Hanging Neck Island.  
“Hey!  You fuckers are leaving without me?”  Shouted a familiar voice.  
The group looked over and saw none other than…  Ivy!  
Everyone ran over to Ivy in disbelief and joy.
“You are alive!”  Oliva said happily  “You bitch!”  Olivia screamed at her, slapping her face and then hugging her tightly as the rest of the group quickly followed her example. 
“Well I wasn't until just like 15 minutes ago!”  Ivy told them as she returned the gesture.  
The group then all boarded the ferry and headed for home.  Once they were back in their neck of the woods, they started heading back to Genkai's temple.
“You're welcome to stay here at the temple for as long as you want.”  Keiko said as they arrived at the temple.  
Ivy’s eyes lit up.  “Really?  We can stay here?  Forever?  Hooray!”  Ivy cheered as Genkia threw her hat angrily on the ground and stomped on it before marching inside her home, grumbling under her breath.
“Ignore her…  She will warm up to you guys quickly I am sure.”  Yusuke told the group.  
“That settles it!  We are staying!”  Sophia cheered.  
A few days later Ivy was lounging on the couch in the living room, remembering a certain red haired windmaster.  As she was lost in thought, there was suddenly a knock at the door.  Ivy ignored it at first, wanting to remain in her brain.  But the knocking persisted.  
“Fine!  I’m coming!”  Ivy shouted, annoyed.   
She opened the door to see none other then, Sazuka, Shishiwakamaru, Chu, Rinku, Touya, and… Jin.  They all looked at her in stunned silence having thought she was dead.  That is until Jin felt a wave of happiness as the shock subsided and he embraced her tightly and began rambling on while crying happy tears “You're alive lass!  Oh I’m so happy!  If this is a dream nobody wake me up!  You are alive!”  Jin went on.  
“I’m  happy to see you too, Jin.”  Ivy told him, returning his embrace.  
Jin then eased up on his hold on her and gazed deeply into her eyes and then kissed her passionately.  Surprisingly enough, Ivy actually kissed him back.  Once the two parted for air they rested their foreheads on one another, looking at each other intensely.  
“Ewww gross!  Get a room!”  Rinku said, pretending to gag.  
“Shut up!  Don’t ruin their moment!”  Chu said, smacking Rinku upside the head.
Ivy and Jin then stood up straight next to each other while still holding hands with interlocked fingers.    
“And of course I’m alive!  I never stay dead for too long!  Well at least so far.”  Ivy boasted with a laugh.  
“It's about time you jokers got here!  I’ve been waiting on you nimrods!”  Genkai scolded walking into the room.
“We have all come here to train with Genkai.” Touya said, noticing the confused look on Ivy’s face.  
“Oh are you guys going to be living with us then?”  Ivy asked as Genkai shuddered at the realization that there would be more mouths to feed.  
“We are going to be living together?  Hooray!”  Jin cheered, picking Ivy up by the waist and spinning her around.  
“Hey!  Put me down!  Jin!”  Ivy scolded, but this time for some reason found herself smiling as she did so.

Phantoms Ch. 4
Read on Ao3 here
Adrien considered himself a kind, forgiving person, but even he stiffened as a familiar high-pitched voice grated against his ears.
“Hi, Adrien!” the voice chirped, right beside him now. Stifling a sigh, Adrien hauled his professional mask into place and opened his eyes, his relaxing thirty minutes in the hair and make up chair clearly over.
“Hi, Lila,” he said. Did she notice the undercurrent of tension in his voice? Did she believe the warmth in it? He certainly didn’t. He’d have to try harder than this. “Did you have a nice trip with your mom?”
“Oh, yeah,” Lila said breezily. She tugged the lapels of her jacket as she sat, straightening out an invisible crease. “It was so great to be home and soak it all in. Your dad even asked if I’d have time to sit down with him and talk about the latest Italian trends for his spring collection - after we shoot this winter one, of course!”
Adrien fought the urge to raise a brow at the lies that rolled off her tongue but her words had hit a nerve. His father didn’t even make time to have dinner with him; as if he was going to sit down with Lila to discuss her fake trip. He had to admit, he was beginning to see why Marinette had such a tough time stomaching Lila. It was harder than he’d realized.
“Of course,” he managed. At least he could avoid looking at her as Ava, his make up artist, tilted his face this way and that. He didn’t know how to navigate their uneasy agreement anymore. He’d kept her at bay for the better part of six months, trading on the only thing that was of any worth to her - his fame. But even that no longer seemed to be enough, and what more she wanted, he could only guess at. Her trip to Italy the past three weeks had been a welcome reprieve. He could only imagine how she would have reacted if she’d been in Paris during his endless hunt for Ladybug. It hadn’t been good the week immediately after his partner’s disappearance.
She seemed fine now, though, as she preened for Marc, her own make up artist. If anything, Lila seemed in higher spirits than he’d ever seen her. One upon a time Adrien might have thought she was beginning to find her place with their friends, but he held no such beliefs about her now. Maybe it wasn’t totally fair to compare her to his arch enemy, but Lila was every bit as dangerous and conniving as Hawkmoth. It had taken nearly losing Ladybug to an akuma to realize it. He wouldn’t underestimate her again. Especially now that he knew Lila’s two enemies were the same person. He didn’t even want to think about her discovering that little truth. They had enough problems to deal with as it was.
“I was thinking,” Lila said, her green eyes sliding to his, “Why don’t we grab some hot chocolate after the shoot, Adrien? You can catch me up on everything I’ve missed and we can spend some quality time together - you know, as friends?”
Adrien suppressed a wince, but it was impossible to miss the thinly veiled threat. The truth was he had a Chinese lesson waiting for him after the shoot and, had it been a normal night, a patrol to prepare for.
But normal was different now, and Viperion and Tigress had patrol covered. If Luka and Juleka’s mom noticed them missing, she never made mention of it - even if band practice had suddenly moved from their house boat to Ivan’s garage. At least, that’s what they’d told her, and the unfortunate truth was Chinese could be put off for an hour or two. Would have to be, if he wanted to uphold his end of their bargain.
“Sure,” Adrian said lightly. “My treat.”
“Like a date?” Lila said smoothly, raising a brow.
Adrien froze, his fingers white-knuckled on the arms of his chair. “What?”
“If it’s your treat,” Lila said, facing him, “Doesn’t that make it a date?”
“Not at all,” Adrien said, fighting for calm. “You can get it next time. Since we’re friends.”
He steeled himself for the tantrums that usually followed when she didn’t get her way, but instead, she just regarded him sadly. “Still not over Kagami?”
Adrien blinked. Kagami. If only. She’d barely spoken two words to him since he’d ended their relationship months ago, unable to move past his feeling’s for Ladybug. He didn’t blame her. But no, Kagami had never really held his heart. It wasn’t her laugh and her eyes and her warmth that he missed.
But as he took in Lila’s glittering eyes, he decided she didn’t need to know that.
“I just…don’t have those kinds of feelings for you,” Adrien said, giving her a facet of the truth - the most important piece of it. “I’m sorry.”
“I see,” Lila said with a short laugh. “My mistake. But I wish you would give me a chance, Adrien. You’d see what a positive influence you’ve been on me. How much I’ve changed. I think you’d be impressed.”
He doubted it, but Adrien kept the thought to himself as he stood. “I’m glad to hear it, Lila. See you out there.”
A blush didn’t even warm his cheeks as he made his way to his trailer. Dozens of girls confessed to him, every single day. He’d gotten used to it since he’d done his first campaign. Most of them didn’t bother him. After all, it wasn’t like any of them knew him personally. Lila did, but there was always an angle with her. She was after his name and the celebrity that came with it. If she had to go through his heart to get it, she would.
Luckily, his heart was guarded by the most formidable woman in Paris. And unfortunately for Lila, she didn’t hold a candle to her.
Still, the back of Adrien’s neck prickled as he got changed for the first look of the shoot. He’d never known Lila to go down without a fight once she had her mind set on something. He’d bet her sympathy was about as real as her sit down with his father. But she hadn’t forced his hand. Why?
His suspicions pestered him throughout the entire shoot. Was it that she genuinely wanted him to care for her? Did she really want him to be ready to move on before she pushed her agenda? And, the most far-fetched of all - was it at all possible she’d had a change of heart?
No, he decided as Lila simpered for the camera, cold even where she leaned against him. There was more to this - more to her rivalry with Marinette and her alter ego - than either girl was letting on. A rivalry he was beginning to realize he was somehow at the centre of. If only Lila realized there wasn’t a competition - Marinette didn’t want him. Not the way he wanted her.
“How about a kiss for this last shot?”
Lila’s voice shattered Adrien’s musings, bringing him abruptly back to the moment at hand. Had she said kiss? No, she hadn’t changed one bit.
Adrien glanced up to where Lila was pointing at the roof of the set. Someone had hung mistletoe from the rafters so that it just dangled into the frame, completing the winter wonderland theme that had been chosen.
Thankfully, the photographer saved him.
“No, no,” Vincent said with a shake of his head. “Romance is not the theme. Sharp, cold lines, minimalism, harsh beauty, that is the vision for Mr. Gabriel’s new line.”
Dramatic, Adrien thought, but from what he could tell, the set up did compliment his father’s designs - and thankfully, saved him from Lila.
“Of course, Vincent,” Lila said. “It was just an idea. I only wanted to show the clothes in their best possible light.”
Vincent waved her off, directing them into position as a light was adjusted.
“I know what you’re doing,” Adrien murmured as Lila stepped up beside him and laid a hand on his shoulder.
“I don’t know what you mean,” she whispered back, a smile dancing around her lips.
“I meant what I said, Lila,” Adrien warned. “I don’t - ”
“I know,” she interrupted, annoyance flashing across her face as her facade finally cracked. “I just think you need a little help mending your broken heart.”
She wasn’t going to stop, he realized. She was going to try to wear him down. It would take the whole truth - as much as he could say - to get her to back off. He hoped.
“Sorry, Lila,” Adrien said, “But my heart isn’t broken. It’s just elsewhere.”
Lila’s head whipped around as those calculating eyes searched his face. Adrien wasn’t sure what she found there, but whatever it was made her scowl.
“Who,” she demanded quietly as Vincent called for them to take their position.
“It doesn’t matter,” Adrien said, lacing his fingers through hers where her hand rested on his shoulder. “It’s not you.”
They fell silent as Vincent began snapping away. Adrien had no doubt this shot would be the pinnacle of his father’s collection; certainly enough frigidness had formed between the two of them to be palpable on film.
“That’s a wrap!” Vincent called ten minutes later. “Great job everyone!”
Adrien relaxed, immediately stepping out from under Lila’s fingers.
“I can make you love me.”
Adrien froze, then slowly turned to face Lila. The girl was staring at him, determination blazing in her eyes, her hands clenched into fists.
“I really don’t think you can,” Adrien said quietly, a hard edge creeping into his voice. “I won’t say this again, Lila. We’re friends. Just friends. And if you want to continue being the face of Gabriel with me, you’ll respect that.”
Dangerous, but he’d figured out why she was suddenly pushing for more from him; she didn’t need his fame anymore. She had her own. Modelling for Gabriel had given her that, along with several other modelling jobs and a sponsorship from a cosmetics line.
But being fired from Gabriel would jeopardize that. It was hard to use someone’s name to open doors when you didn’t work for them anymore, and though Lila might not know it yet, her leverage over him had evaporated the day Marinette had revealed her identity to their team. He’d kept up the charade for convenience - and it was no longer convenient.
“It’s Marinette, isn’t it.” Hatred burned in Lila’s eyes. “It’s always Marinette.”
Adrien pursed his lips but stayed silent. There was no point in denying it. Everyone would know soon enough anyway; the way he felt was impossible to hide. It didn’t matter if she didn’t feel the same way about him. He’d been down that road before. He’d never ask anything from her she couldn’t give, but he’d never been good at hiding his feelings.
But loving her was the one thing he could not, would not apologize for, ever.
“Good bye, Lila,” Adrien said, turning back to his trailer. “I’ll see you at school.”
“Wait a second,” Lila said. He heard her take a few steps after him but she didn’t lay a hand on him again. “We have a date.”
“Not anymore,” Adrien said without turning around.
“You’ll regret this, Adrien,” Lila snapped. “I will own your heart!”
“A heart isn’t something you own, Lila.” Adrien smiled. “It’s something you give. And I’ve already given mine away.”

My theories proven/disproven/thoughts, and thoughts on the trailer.
1. Looking for Vera will be the season goal. Well...its seems to be a goal, but it all seems to be building up to stealing/trying to steal the crown jewels.
2.  Carmen’s love interest will me made clear: Julia, Graham, or no one. Well, since neither of them were in the trailer at all!!!!!!! I don’t know. Could, still, be misdirection (Again with the SPOP S5 observation I made)
3. Zack will get an episode where he saves the day. Well, we don’t see him alone in the trailer at all, only helping out with ground support and (possibly) finding Carmen or something? Unknown
4. Julia will take initiative over Devineaux. WELL SINCE SHE DIDN’T SHOW UP IN THE TRAILER and Devineaux did-! I don’t know. Could be misdirection..
5. More ACME-centric. Mmmmm. Seems like the same balance, VILE showing up maybe even a bit more.
6. VILE will take more of a backseat; however, the fewer attacks we’ll have will be more ferocious. Still yet to be seen, but I don’t think so. 
7. VILE House Hunters. Maybe for a little bit, but it looks like they settle down in some unknown castle. You know. Discreetly.
8.  Roundabout content! We’ll see him in action. Yes yes yes! Totally more Roundabout in S3!
9. As much as I would love more info on Player, I don’t think we’re going to get much/any. Remains to be seen (we did get some info on his family in Secrets of the Silver Lion, though!)
10. Maybe some background on Chief? Unknown.
11. Based on the end of the Crackle Goes Kiwi Caper, ACME will interact with Graham. Again, unknown, but maybe this is why he wasn’t in the trailer...
12. Julia and Carmen will have a different sort of relationship after Stockholm/the hack. *Inhales* WELL
13. Hoping for some silly Shadowsan-Zack ninja training. Unknown again, but this season does seem more focused and serious.
14. Based on the flag teaser from Twitter, I’m hoping we’ll get an episode in Venice. (However, they already did have one in Milan..) Yes! Yes! Yes! Pretty sure that was Venice in the trailer! Yesssssss
15. Hoping for some more angst, as both VILE and ACME’s main directives are now taking Carmen down. *Glances at Carmen getting electrocuted into unconciousness and nearly getting hit by a car and gettig bola’d to a pole and fighting a bunch of people* so
16. Based on 15, maybe Carmen gets captured? This could also be Zack’s big moment, or a turning point for, perhaps, Julia or Graham (if he were to be recruited). So, maybe. Maelstrom says “Who will escort our little lost sheep back to VILE?”. Also, again, electrocuted into unconsciousness.
17. Counting on a small return/mention of the Duke, as he was mentioned in passing in the Need for Speed Caper. Unknown.
18. More. Fancy. Outfits. OH MY GOD I AM LIVING FOR THAT STAR OUTFIT JDJHHHHHH
19. El Topo and Le Chevre...doesn’t everyone want them to get together? weLL since they weren’t in the TRAILER
20. Vera Cruz...I don’t know if they will find her, or if she’ll be alive. To add such a potentially important character in S3, especially after Shadowsan, might be strange. Unknown again; though who is that buff lady who kicks the crap out of Brunt? Hmmmm
21. Building on 20, maybe Carmen will have a “my team is all the family I need” moment. Sounds like she’s still very adamant about finding her, from sneaking in to wherever to Ivy telling her they’ll find her
22. Hoping for some cool, deadly new operatives! Yeah!!!!!!!! Flytrap and Spinkick, plus electrocution lady, and perhaps a few others. (Also, lots of Neal, it seems!)
23.  Return of Mime Bomb. Yeppers yeppers yeppers!
24. Perhaps a stuck-together-for-survival situation (either Team Red-ACME, TR-VILE, or VILE-ACME). Didn’t see a hint of anything like that, but who knows.
25. I know we all want backstory for Ivy and Zack, but they got their little moment in S2, and their “family over career” moment. WELL- who was that lady? The one who sounds like Ivy, then Ivy-Julia, then Julia. You know the one. Maybe she’s family to them?
26. However, maybe Chase’s backstory? It seems to be quite a popular theory that he used to smoke (hence the mints). Maybe this will cause us to be more symathetic to him. Unknown again.
OKAY, MISC. THOUGHTS ON THE TRAILER!
-Again, yay glasses zack!
-Hideo! Hideo’s back and helping! It seems he was either wearing a mask or helping steal one.
-Pirate hat Carmen!
-I am in love with all the masks
-Wrestling lady!? Whomst!?
-The guy talking to Tigress was at C Cleo’s dinner party. The painter, I think.
-Spinkick and Flytrap seem pretty cool, actually. 
-Carmen’s reflexes seem so slow? She couldn’t avoid the loud whistling bola that tied her arm to the pole or think to drop (if possible) the thing that was electrocuting her into unconsciousness
-WOW That car did not slow down or anything, just honked
-Again! The star outfit! Oh my goodness gracious!
-Hey! Tigress and Paper Star working together, that’s going to be really interesting!
-Mime Bomb finally learned how to run
-Suit Chase is not horrible. I’m not thrilled. But its not horrible.
-”You care too much.” WHO ARE THE ROSES FOR SCREAM
-Most impossible heist keeps coming up. Again, like many, I think its the crown jewels.
-Hahah Zari looks so done when Carmen just zooms past
-ACME Graham is totally something I want to see. Maybe thats why we don’t get many ACME clips. Maybe he’s partnered with Julia...
Very very excited!!!!!!!! Its not what I was expecting but I’m very anxious to see how it goes. October 1 can not come soon enough! That was a really long rant and lots of stuff but I’m reallly really excited really really

Ladybug and Chat Noir Can Finally Rest
Part 1/2 
It was an exhausting battle. One that will surely go down in Paris history. The adrenaline that ran through the heroes’ veins was fading now that they all had La Farfalla surrounded. She used as much power as possible, and Nooroo wouldn’t be able to wear himself out much longer. Still, the vengeful and bitter woman’s will was strong. The last of La Farfalla’s akumas were defeated. The only thing left to be done was to take down the villain once and for all. It took a lot of planning on Marinette and Adrien’s part to gather the whole team on the day of to finish the years long battle. They let their allies know the plan beforehand. They had agreed that the next appearance of La Farfalla will be the day. Today was that day.
The duo specifically selected their best. Alya, Nino, Chloe, Kagami, Luka, and most of their trusted collège classmates are present for the biggest battle.The gamble of having everyone was simple.They will win, all in. They were all heroed up and geared to finally reclaim the Butterfly miraculous and defeat La Farfalla for good. 
The holder of the Butterfly is sprawled on the ground, knees bent underneath her. She breathes heavily. Lila Rossi makes a show of looking vulnerable as she hides her sneer behind her hair. She waits for someone to make a mistake.
“Lila.” Chat Noir’s voice warns. He speaks cautiously.
Ladybug silently watches. If she spoke, Lila would get aggressive for sure.
“I am La Farfalla,” She rasps, and her voice sounds hoarse.
Her head hangs low.
“You’ve got me…I made a mistake. I’ll give it to you, just please forgive me.” The butterfly holder weakly whispers.
“Don’t let your guard down team, lying is all she has,” Ladybug has to tell them again, despite already going over this with them.
La Farfalla grimaces at the sound of Ladybug’s voice. She didn’t hear what was said but knew Ladybug spoke. She especially hated Ladybug. She hated her so much. Angry tears pour down her face. She wanted to wish everyone who wronged her out of existence. Every single person. If only she had the earrings and ring.
“This Miraculous takes over me…I feel like I have no control. It makes me hurt people. Please help me. I don’t want to be miserable anymore. Save me from it; I can’t hold on to myself!” Lila’s voice cracks painfully.
Ladybug and Chat Noir watch each other. Their partnership as adults is unmatched. With only their eyes and a minuscule nod, they agree that it’s obviously a facade.
“La Farfalla. Give us the brooch,” Chat Noir continues.
Lila cries and finally lifts her head to showcase her tears.
“I don’t want it.Take it. Help me! I’ve been stuck in this repeating nightmare for too long. I wish I was strong enough to fight what takes over me.”
Her wails echo through the silence of the abandoned area.
Rose, who was transformed with the miraculous of the peacock, took pity on the sobbing villain. Rosewing, who helped earlier in the battle by creating an unbreakable monster to protect the heroes from one of the dangerous akumas.
“Lila, everything is going to be okay.” Rosewing’s voice sounds steady and soothing. The peacock hero steps closer, fan held closed. She cautiously reaches out to take the brooch off herself, to “help”.
Finally, Lila had an out.
Lila has no time to hide her smirk before she sticks her cane straight at Rosewing. With the one hero out of position in the circle around her, she can escape. She propels herself above her cane, leaping high.
Ladybug reacts immediately and summons her second lucky charm of the day. She can feel that this is it.
Her team was vital today. She’s proud of everyone. Without Rena Rouge’s illusion, the “Ladybug” La Farfalla targeted wouldn’t of distracted her and let the real Ladybug purify and release the handful of akumas. Without Viperion’s second chance, Ryuko would of disappeared to one of the powerful akumas before she destroyed them with her elemental powers.Thanks to Roi Singe, dangerous powers of akumas went wonky again and again. And of course there’s Chat Noir, who nonstop fought back to back and side to side in this battle with her.
Every single one of the heroes took down akumas left and right and weakened La Farfalla. It was all meant to come down to this. The battle was already won.
She knew they were prepared and following the plan flawlessly.
“Queen Bee, Chat, Pegasus, Tigress, NOW!”
Chat jumps to action, bouncing off his baton and soaring to closely reach La Farfalla’s distance. Pegasus sends Tigress with him in his portal to cut Lila off. Tigress rushes at her, magically fast, successfully getting La Farfalla to pause and change directions in panic. Chat lands perfectly and cataclysms her cane that lifts up to block him. Immediately after, Queen Bee swoops in and uses her readied venom. La Farfalla gets paralyzed in place. Ladybug winds her Yo-yo and wraps her arch enemy in the strings for good measure.
The few main heroes close in.
“It’s over Rossi.” Ladybug declares. There was no spite in her voice, only the assured but exhausted tone of a hero who finally won.
“Finally,” Rena Rouge adds, relieved.
All Lila can do is move her eyeballs, internally screaming in fury. She’s out of moves.
“You thought you pulled a fast one on us,” Queen Bee scoffs. She could laugh but now wasn’t the time.
“Never again,” Carapace comments.
“Lila, it’s time you got what was coming to you. You voluntarily terrorized Paris-” Chat Noir pauses and glances at the woman he’s engaged to, “-and us, for half a decade! You’ve killed, you’ve hurt, you’ve destroyed…”
In his hands are the handcuffs that were summoned by Ladybug’s first Lucky Charm.
He speaks quietly. “You deserve worse than this.”
His father was bad, but Lila was much more clever in all the chaos she created. And somehow, more malicious.
Together, he walks up with Ladybug. They attach the cuffs to her hands.
“Team!-” Ladybug addresses everyone present.
“It’s been a long time coming. Today we reclaim the butterfly miraculous and release the Kwami from evil clutches! Paris will no longer be terrorized from any miraculous, ever again!”
Chat can’t help but lovingly gaze at her while she gives the speech.
Everyone cheers loud bellows, whoops, whistles, and claps.
He notices Ladybug’s most recent Lucky Charm that lays unused in her hand.
He gestures to it.
She further inspects the small rectangle of warm fabric.
She smiles sadly.
“I know what I need this for.”
And finally, Marinette removes the Butterfly brooch from Lila’s self and carefully clutches it. Down came Lila’s costume. Out came the purple Kwami, who looks defeated. He floats towards the ground like a deflated balloon. Ladybug cups her hands to catch Nooroo, wrapping the soft cloth snugly around the being.
“It’s okay Nooroo. You’re safe now. You’ll be alright. Everything will be okay,” Marinette soothes the shaking Kwami. He blinks his eyes open, barely. Chat stays close beside Ladybug, observing Nooroo.
“Ladybug? Chat Noir? I-Is it over?” he quietly inquires.
She nods while she feels her eyes tearing up. Poor thing.
“You can rest now Nooroo. No one will hurt you anymore,” Chat whispers.
Ladybug cooed. “We’ll protect you and every single Kwami. We’ll heal you.”
She passes the snuggled Kwami to Chat.
“One more thing left to do,”
Ladybug turns to the powerless Lila. Lila stared at her wordlessly, a scowl directed towards her. Ladybug removes the handcuffs, and throws them into the air.
“Miraculous Ladybug!”
The battered buildings, destroyed streets, injured civilians, in pain heroes, and damaged battlefield returned to it’s original state through the red, pink, and white swarm.
Lila swallows and lets go of the remains of her pride.
“My heroes! You’ve saved me. I’m free of that overpowering evil…I finally feel like I’m me again.” Lila sobbed. Now that she had no power, she needed to convince them it wasn’t her free will. She plans to apologize and beg.
Marinette has had it.
“You’re freaking shameless. We’re taking you to prison for terrorism, attempted murder, theft, assault, and who knows what else will be added.”
Chat held his lady’s hand in his.
“We’ll let the justice system choose your sentence. I don’t think we’ll see you out on the town in this lifetime.” he smirks.
“I-I!” Lila stutters.
“Save it!” yelled many members of the Miraculous team simultaneously.
Ladybug yanks Lila up to her feet.
“I can’t imagine the infinite life sentences you would get if everyone who’s ever died from your actions didn’t come back from every ‘Miraculous Ladybug’.”
“I-I-I swear it! Once I wore the miraculous it took over my mind. I just t-thought it was just a pretty brooch! It was like I was the bystander of a never ending nightmare. I couldn’t do anything to stop it, it was like a shadow making me an empty, evil shell of the girl I am! I’m so sorry. I’m sorry I did those things. I never wanted this.”
“Cut the crocodile tears!” one of the male heroes jeered.
“There’s a lot of proof, quite a bit, of you being in your mind. Should I mention how when we detained Hawkmoth, you stole the miraculous and said, ‘I’ll be the villain this sad incompetent man wishes he was.’ before transforming and running off?” Ladybug reminds.
“Do you recall the time period where you pursued M-“ Chat’s cut off by Lila’s frustrated scream.
“Yeah yeah, you righteous superheroes got me! But no worries. You know me. I’ll come back in no time. Unlike you, I have certain skills without a dumb little miraculous.” She spits.
“Seriously, how did we let her bamboozle us for so long?” Tigress mumbles under her breath.
Lila smirks but the twitch of her wide eyes betrays her.
“Let’s wrap this up, team. We don’t have to worry about super villains anymore.” Chat moves to collect all of the miraculous.
“Here you go milady,” He hands the many items of the miraculous to her and helps her secure them in her yoyo, to be in her bag when detransformed. Nooroo rests in Chat’s pocket, right next to the brooch.
Besides Ladybug and Chat, the heroes stand as their civilian selves. They look around each other and take in all their friends and acquaintances for the first time, in awe.
“I think I sense a relation here,” Alix comments.
Ladybug half smiles.
“Chat and I will be taking Lila now. We’re forever grateful for the help you’ve all gave us through the years.”
Everyone mutters their thanks and goodbyes.
Ladybug glances at her fiance, unsure eyes debating something. He nods his head.
“Alya, Nino, Chloe, Luka, Kagami…”
He gathers the five people.
“Ladybug and I have something we’ve decided. Meet us at Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie at closing time tomorrow evening. Come as yourselves of course. We’ll explain everything.”
“Of course,” Kagami confirms, nodding.
“Sure thing,” Luka notes.
“The Dupain-Cheng’s bakery? Won’t they mind?” Chloe wonders out loud.
“No. It’s all fine, trust me.” Ladybug assures.
“I suppose Marinette has always had close ties with the superheroes.” Alya narrows her eyes, looking only at Ladybug.
“It’s a date dudes. Now I don’t know about the rest of you but I sure could use some shut eye.”
Seven out of eight people laugh.
“Yeah. I think Chat and I will head straight home and knock out after dropping Lila off at her new residence. We have a lot to do tomorrow.”
Afterwards, Ladybug and Chat Noir hand off Lila to the guards at the prison.
Lila looks at them blankly. Her frantic tantrum wore off, now that this is actually happening.
“It didn’t need to be this way..” Chat speaks.
“Ugh stop already. You act just like…Them. All you goodies always want to pretend to help and do things for others, when you really just want what’s best for yourselves.”
“That’s just your take on it, Lila. We can’t change what you feel. We’ve tried to get through to you from the beginning. We gave you every chance. You threw your life away. Goodbye,” Ladybug watches the guards walk Lila away with a straight face.
Chat sighs.
“You took the words right out of my mouth, Mari.”
Ladybug wraps her arms around him.
“God, I can’t believe it’s finally over.”
“Not just yet. Last one home is a stinky cheese!”
Chat speeds away. Ladybug lets herself laugh as she chases him down.
 It was Marinette who won. Chat took it easy with the exhausted kwami settled in his pocket.
She detransformed just as Chat pounced through an unlocked window.
“Intruder!” She yells.
He laughs and embraces her.
While they hug, he calls the transformation off.
It’s comforting to feel the magic drop between them.
Tikki and Plagg help fly Nooroo to their makeshift beds.
“Marinette…I’m just so happy that everything went well. We can sleep in, take some days off, finally get on with planning our wedding in peace.”
“Bold of you to assume I don’t have everything planned.” Marinette boops Adrien’s nose.
“You’re right. I should’ve known better than thinking you weren’t gathering all the details in your head,” he smiles sweetly.
Marinette sighs, heart pounding over his smile that she fell in love with so long ago. Her best friend, her partner, her soulmate. It warms her to her core that everything will be okay. The look on his face confirms it for her. 
Adrien spins Marinette to face the other direction and nestles his chin on her shoulder.
They start stepping towards their room together in slow movements, hands clasped.
“In the morning, Fu will be here with the miracle box. He’ll help nurse Nooroo before our visit with Gabriel…” Marinette starts.
“..and then we’ll sleep. And then we’ll meet our friends at the bakery and tell them our decision, 7 pm,” Adrien finishes.
“Good kitty.”
“Are you still sure?” Adrien asks.
“Mhm. We deserve the break. It’s not forever.”
“We’d also be revealing our identities to them.”
“Only them. They have my trust.”
“Mine too.”
They finally make it to their bed. They notice Nooroo breathing softly in Tikki’s little bed.
“He’s sleeping.” Tikki pipes up.
“I can’t wait to get to know him. We’ll take good care of him.”
“Don’t I know it. He’ll be back to his old self in no time, especially with Tikki and I here,” Plagg comments.
“It’ll take some time Plagg. Nooroo has been through a lot,” Adrien tells his kwami.
Marinette and Adrien release each other to settle into their sides of the bed.
They snuggle up together right away.
Tikki and Plagg mean to congratulate their holders on their victory, but see that it can wait.
“I’m ready to knock out too. But first…” Plagg zooms into his cheese safe, while Tikki flies to her cookie stash.
Adrien presses his lips on Marinette’s softly and withdraws his face back, dreamily watching her. She returns a single kiss.
Right after, Marinette turns around, back facing Adrien. Still snuggled, they drifted off to sleep instantaneously.
“Well that was quick,” Plagg declares, chomping down on his cheese.

Part 2 in the works.
There’s something I have to mention. Firstly, I was a fool for working with Tumblr’s draft system without a backup copy. I posted this fic a week ago, and then somehow deleted the contents excluding the title while in edit mode on my phone. I was moping about losing this for a while. I simply couldn’t rewrite from scratch, something I already had written and was satisfied with. Luckily, I got on the computer I posted it from, and the page with all the words was still stored. Keep in mind that last week, I dejectedly deleted the original post as soon as I realized the words were gone. I hurriedly copy pasted and was able to save it now! My lucky stars. The original page/post never reloaded which is why my fic was still showing on the computer from before. Now I appreciate this more than ever. I was extremely disappointed when this fic had that incident as soon as I posted it, and not one person saw said post yet. Now it lives, so I’m posting this with optimism, instead of the pessimism that usually stays. :)

Captured Pt.1
Anon requested:  I would like to request a one-shot where the reader newly joins the avengers post AOU under the alias of Tigress and has the same skill sets as Natasha. Her and Steve are teamed up and they don’t get along at all. They argue all the time about how something should be done. The whole team easily likes her. She and Steve get sent on a mission where they have to be a married couple (alias of Chris Evans and Sonia Evans). In a dangerous situation they realize they love each other. (“you” POV pls)
I wasn’t sure what you meant by a “you” kind of POV so I hope I didn’t mess up or something. Also, I got so carried away with the story I thought it got to long and divided it into two parts. Enjoy! Sorry if it’s too long.
Summary: You’re the Avengers’ newest member and you all get along splendidly. Except for a certain blonde haired Captain. Steve Rogers, a.k.a Captain America, seems to hate you. But does he?
Warnings: Language, torture, blood and gore in general, mentions of death perhaps.
(Y/N) Your name
(Y/N/N) Your nickname
(Y/L/N) Your last name
(h/c) Hair color
(e/c) Eye color
(f/c) Favorite color
____________________________________________________________
“I can’t believe you, Rogers! You can’t seriously be calling me out over that!” You yelled, your face red with anger. Steve returned the glare you were giving him. This would be your third fight that day.
“I am. What you did back there was completely unnecessary, (Y/N).” He retorted, crossing his arms across his stone hard chest. You were discussing how you had attacked a superior Hydra agent in order to get him to cooperate. You scoffed.
“Do you really think he was going to come peacefully? I had to knock him out! Otherwise, he could have tried taking down one of us.” You gritted out. Steve rolled his eyes
“We would have handled him easily.” He snapped. You threw your hands up in disbelief.
“He had a bomb strapped to him. A. Fucking. BOMB!” You yelled, getting extremely close to the super soldier. Steve felt his breath hitch at your proximity.
“We. Would. Have. Handled. It.” This time he gritted out, clenching his jaw and focusing his baby blues on your flaming (e/c) ones.
“Really?” You scoffed once again, rolling your eyes. “Oh and since we’re on the topic of unnecessary and dangerous decisions, why don’t we discuss what you were doing in the control room with a hard drive connected to their main computer?” You challenged, placing your hands on your hips. Steve froze.
“That’s none of your damn business.” He snapped. You cocked an eyebrow, genuinely surprised that the Captain America was keeping secrets from his own team.
“Keeping secrets now, are we?” You spat, narrowing your eyes. Steve glared. He hadn’t counted on you being so persistent. But of course he should have expected that from you. You were as good as Natasha, if not better, when it came to detecting a lie.
“I’m not keeping secrets. I was collecting valuable intel for Stark to analyze. I would have told you earlier, but you were busy killing people.” He said, his voice harsher and colder than he intended. You visibly tensed.
Steve winced, knowing he had hit a nerve. You had joined the Avengers to do good, to redeem yourself for the things you had done as a mercenary. He knew you were just trying to do your job in the cleanest way possible, and yet he had to go and pour salt on your wounds.
You power walked towards him, stopping mere inches from his face. Your nostrils flared in anger, your face was becoming hot and tears were threatening to leak. But you’d be damned if you let him see you cry.
“Like hell you would.” You muttered in a dangerous tone. Abruptly stepping away form the infuriating man, you sped off towards your room.
Today’s mission couldn’t have been more complicated. It was a simple raid and destroy mission involving another Hydra base, or so you thought. Steve had other plans. He seemed to have an agenda of his own, searching through as many of the facility’s date base and hard files as he could.
Of course, that didn’t got unnoticed by you. But by the time you had reached him to inform you needed to evacuate because the mission had gone south, it was too late. Agents were attacking the team and you had to act fast. Your methods were still a little unorthodox, though, so by the end you were surrounded by dead or unconscious bodies.
You both fought over that, too obviously.
You needed a long bath to relax, and not just because of the mission.
You didn’t know why you bothered arguing with Steve. Yes, he was infuriating and self righteous and arrogant. But you weren’t one to get easily fired up. You were just as good as Natasha, meaning practically nothing and no one could get a reaction out of you. Except for Steve Rogers, of course.
Steve watched your retreating figure with longing. He wanted to hug you, kiss you even and apologize for being such a jerk. But he couldn’t. You didn’t feel the same way, that much was obvious by how many times you both fought. You clearly hated him.
And he couldn’t get close to you, not when he was still looking for any leads on his long lost friend, Bucky Barnes, best known as the Winter Soldier. If his findings were any proof, treading those dangerous waters was close to suicidal, and he didn’t want to drag you into that. So he pushed you away the best he could, hoping that he was keeping you safe that way. Even if he knew you were more than capable of handling yourself.
“Cap, I found something.” Sam Wilson announced, walking into the debriefing room he was still in after you had left. Steve nodded, following Sam out.
“What have you got for me?” He asked, stepping inside one of the base’s research laboratories. Natasha Romanoff turned around in her seat and smirked.
“We may have found one of the bases Bucky was kept by one of his handlers a while back. It’s just outside of Berlin, which is weird considering it’s supposed to be a secret facility. But you can never be sure with Hydra.” She informed, tapping a few buttons on the screens before a picture of an abandoned factory popped up.
“What’s the catch?” Steve asked, narrowing his eyes.
“They holding an auction for the building and its contents in two days. It’s a fancy event, probably a gala. You won’t be able to go alone, they’ll be suspicious. And I can’t go with you because I have to leave in four hours for an undercover operation with Wanda.” Natasha said, already hacking the events guest list to obtain the invites.
“You know what that means, right?” Sam asked, smirking slightly and crossing his arms over his chest. Steve sighed defeatedly, letting his head hang.
“I know…” He replied, pinching the bridge of his nose and closing his eyes.
“Good luck, Cap.” Sam pats his shoulder before leaving the room to head down to the gym.
“You could just tell her how you feel, it would make things less… Frustrating.” Natasha smirked, raising an eyebrow suggestively.
“Does anyone else know about it?” Steve asked exasperated, referring to his not-so-subtle feelings towards you.
“Everyone knows. Everyone but (Y/N), that is.” Natasha winks before heading out as well. Steve is left to his own thoughts.
You’re his only chance at succeeding in this mission. But he doesn’t want you there, it could be dangerous and risky. He couldn’t forgive himself if something happened to you. And, saying he did ask you to accompany him in this mission, he couldn’t let you know the real reason behind the mission. If you knew too much you could get hurt, or worse. But he had no other option. No one else to rely on.
Sighing, Steve had made his decision. He walked out, closing the door behind him ever so slowly. He looked up, praying to whatever god there was that things would go smoothly.
“You want me to what?!” You exclaimed, looking between Natasha and Steve. They had just informed you that you were assigned to an undercover mission with none other than Steve himself.
“We want your help with an undercover mission.” Steve repeated, feeling slightly agitated at your reaction. You furrowed your eyebrows.
“And why can’t Nat go?” You asked, narrowing your eyes suspiciously.
“I have a mission I have to leave for in a couple of hours with Wanda. Cap has to go with someone otherwise the operation is at risk.” Natasha explained, smirking in amusement at your frustration.
“And why can’t Sam go with him? You know, as entrepreneur friends or something?” You asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Because this is Hydra. They are not morons. The story wouldn’t be as believable. Besides, if Steve and I were to go as a couple, those homophobic little shits would have a heart attack.” Sam answered, not looking up from the books he was reading on the couch in front of you. You nodded, mulling the idea over in your head.
“So let me get this straight: You want me to pretend to be his wife so we can infiltrate a high profile gala event and supposedly scan the building that’s going up for auction for possible intel?” You repeated the plan, making sure you hadn’t overheard or misheard any of the details while eyeing Steve with rosy cheeks.
The idea alone of pretending to be his wife made you all sorts of nervous. And you hated that. You were almost always in control of your emotions, and having just one person scramble them because of a hypothetical situation is unnerving.
“Exactly.” Steve answered a little too quickly. Natasha pressed her lips together to avoid laughing at how obvious Steve was being. You gave him a questioning look before turning back to Nat.
“Okay, fine. What is our story? Our names?”
“He’s Chris Evans and you’re Sonia Evans. He’s a millionaire looking to expand his corporation to Germany. You two met in London during one of his conferences three years ago and have been married for two months. That means you’re still on the honeymoon phase.” Nat smirked, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively. You blushed and bit down on your lip, avoiding Steve’s gaze at all costs.
“Right. Two months into our marriage. I’m Sonia Evans. Met in London during a conference. What’s my personality?” You listed off, memorizing the information.
“Make something up. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.” Natasha winked before leaving the living area to go and look for Wanda. You slowly turned around to Steve.
“So I guess we’re married then…” You said awkwardly. You heard a snort and turned to see Sam trying to contain his laughter.
“Got something you’d like to say, bird boy?” You challenged, narrowing your eyes and placing your hands on your hips.
“Not at all, Tigress.” He smirked knowingly at you, using your code name. You had been given it because of the razor sharp blades you had on your gloves and your feline like style of fighting.
“Good. I’ll be in my room packing up. Since it’s a gala I’ll probably have to wear something formal, right?” You said, turning your attention back to Steve only to find him staring at you intently.
“Right.” He replied in a monotone, causing you to scoff and stomp off. He could at least pretend to not be so bothered by the circumstances of the mission.
Three hours later, you were ready to be shipped off. You had a large suitcase where you had packed what you liked to call your mission costume. It also had a secret internal compartment containing your equipment, including your suit, weapons and other important devices you’d need to complete the mission.
You and Steve boarded the private jet provided for the cover you guys had. It was a luxurious one, as well, making you slightly uncomfortable. Thankfully, no one said a word during the whole 8 hour flight which made the situation a bit more bearable. Not that you minded being sent on an assignment with Steve, it’s just that not one of them had ever ended with the both of you not arguing.
A/N: Yeah, so this got super long so Part 2 is here and I hope you’re enjoying it so far! Thanks for requesting!

Based on a headcanon from @imthegingerninja
Story time:
It was a slow day that ran late. Po and The Furious Five came back from a bandit raid in a small town close to the valley. It was anything they couldn't handle, but the bandits were excellent at drawing out the fight before finally surrendering.
Again, wasn't difficult, but very damn annoying.
Po was leading the front of the group once they were at the top of the stairs (he ain't taking the lead on that!). He was just as tired as them; however, he was still very insistent on holding the big fucking door for Ti-the five.
They all showed their own appreciation in their own ways. Tigress brought up the back.
"Thank you, Po," she nodded with tired half lidded eyes as she passed.
He began to falter, something about her showing some sort of vulnerability, such as closed/half closed eyes, startles him. Maybe it's because he knows that she only shows vulnerability to the one's she trusts.
"N-no problem," He recovered with a half grin. "I can make dinner tonight. Any requests?"
Mantis was first, "Can you make that secret ingredient soup again?" he said excitedly, almost like how a child would reminisce on a old toy that held nostalgic value.
Once those words flew out of his mouth, the others joined in.
"Yeah, Po. That was so good," called Viper.
"I agree," Crane, well, agreed.
"Soup, soup, soup, soup!" Monkey chanted, jumping up and down with Mantis soon joining in.
But Tigress frowned, "Ignore them," she started, causing Po to tilt his head in confusion.
Her eyes quickly widened and her ears tilted back in embarrassment, "Sorry, I meant that you don't have to cook if you don't want to," she correct herself.
Po waved his paw in a downward motion, brushing her off.
"Nah, don't worry about it," he reassured. "I would love to cook soup for all of you."
The rest of the five cheered and went to go clean themselves up, leaving just Po and Tigress.
He lightly chuckled to himself, flattered at their excitement, when Tigress gently gripped his shoulder. Her ears still folded back and her eyes glancing at the ground. But she still had a small smile of, what looked like, hope.
"I . . . would like to try your soup this time," referring to when they first had dinner together as a team. She lifted her eyes to him with her head still tilted down, "Please?"
He smiled widely, "Of course! I would love to!"
It was her turn to smile. One so wide, her mouth was ajar in joy. Showing some of her teeth in the process. (Oh no, here come the waterworks). Po didn't realise, but in saying yes, he just deemed her a chance of redemption.
"Thanks," she said softly and left to wash up. Leaving Po, watching her walk away happily.
But little did they know, a certain snake saw the whole exchange.
~a few minutes later in the lady's room~
"So," Viper started, inspecting her bruises on her body, "just to warn you, you might be overwhelmed by how good the soup tastes."
"Oh ha, ha," Tigress joked as she stood, washing her body from the fight (I don't know how to explain it). She had her bindings off so she could fully wash her body.
Viper giggled. It was fun just talking to her without all the commotion. They never had moments like these unless they were here or in their rooms. Viper, satisfied with the minimal damage she took, looked over at Tigress who was inspecting her own body.
Not in the same way, however.
"Tigress you're body looks fine, you look great!" Viper said, looking at her through the mirror.
Tigress blushed heavily, "W-WHAT!?" she shouted. Viper giggled at her outburst. Tigress responded, more timidly, "I was just checking some cuts, that's all."
Viper was not convinced at all, "On your chest?" she asked rhetorically looking directly at her with a smirk.
"It's just that . . . they're not as big as some other girls are," she admitted even more embarrassed as she started to dry herself.
Viper watched as she started to put her bindings back on. "You know what?" Viper said, "I have an idea."
Tigress looked up, paws still behind her back.
"Forget the bindings and put on those new pajamas you told me about," she smiled, "I bet Po would like that," she finished with a wink before she slithered out taking away Tigress's a chance to protest.
Tigress looked at her yellow training suit with gold flecks and beautiful markings. And thought about the more laid back one Mei Mei gave her a while ago.
Would Po really think she looked good? It was so out of her comfort zone.
Only one way to find out.
~a few more minutes later in the kitchen~
Po was just finishing up the soup, it just had to cook just a tad bit longer. Viper slid in and whispered something to Crane who then whispered to Monkey and then Mantis. The boys were still shocked but thought how they couldn't blow this for Tigress, Viper was sure of that.
Po finally turned around to address the Kung Fu masters. "Ok, I made enough soup for everybody," Po said to which he was quickly interrupted by the mass amounts of cheers from the men (I think). "But we can't eat without Tigress."
As if the sound of her name summoned her, Tigress turned the corner and tried to act normal with little to no success. The rest of the five were able to keep their shit together but Po was not holding up well.
And how could he?
She was wearing a long sleeved violet purple loose one-piece dress that came all the way down to her ankles that was adorned with black flower designs that had golden highlights. It was almost based off of her training uniform only more silky and should not be used for any physical activity (well maybe not any *winks at Po*).
And of course, no bindings.
Viper mouthed "told ya" as she shuffled quietly to her spot at the table. At this time, Po was able to recover from the shock as he served his friends. Still not able to trust his words he looked at Viper for assistance.
She gave an playful but sinister glare, as if to say "you asked for it". Oh no.
Thanks to Po, some force was looking out for him (you're welcome) as Viper was distracted by Tigress made a muffled noise as she tasted the soup. The same one's that Crane, Monkey, and Mantis were devouring before they looked at her.
Tigress took the spoon out of her mouth. "This is so delicious," she exclaimed as she took another bite.
"T-t-thank y-you," he stuttered blushing underneath his fur. Beginning to eat his own serving.
"No. Thank you, Po," replied Monkey.
The rest of dinner was composed of some small talk and light conversation. After all, Po was the heavy talker and our favorite Dragon Warrior was occupied by something else.
~after dinner~
As you can see above this sentence, dinner is over and after they cleaned the dishes, they went to their rooms.
Tigress was walking with Viper down the hall together and just as they were about to part ways . . .
"Hey Tigress!" Po called, "may I talk to you for a second" as he tapped his full claws together. She shrugged silently as she walked towards Po. Just as she was about to leave the hall with him, she saw Viper whisper, "Go get him, tiger," and to that, Tigress rolled her eyes.
They pulled off to the left of the hallway, just around the corner. They looked at each other in the eyes. Well, more like stared. Green jade eyes melting with fiery orange. Just a passionate look of love and in that moment, they admitted their feelings to one another.
BUT NONE OF THEM GOT THE FUCKING MESSAGE!
Po cleared his throat, "I-I just wanted to-to say that I . . ." He paused. She raised her eyebrows as if to urge him on.
He gulped, his heart racing, his eyes darting around to look at anything but Tigress. He took a deep breath . . . and started over.
"I just wanted to say that I think you look pretty damn beautiful in that. I bet if you had one of those peach flower blooms behind your ear, you would look downright gorgeous."
Tigress was blushing heavily as she glanced at the floor, that Po found cute. She was blushing so much that half of it was visible. Po was blushing just as much, if not, more than Tigress. But what got to him the smile, THAT SMILE! It wasn't the same one as before. It was more of a small grin but it was full of happiness and contentment. So much joy packed into such a small grin.
(It's just-ah-ughh! IT'S BOOTIFUL!)
She was very flattered. She looked up to meet Po's eyes. She loved the fucking panda so much. She wanted to tell him, needed to. What was that saying? "Actions speak louder than words"? She didn't want to tell him . . .
. . . She needed to show him.
But she had one thing to ask first, "I am very flattered but, why me?" She asked.
He looked confused, "I don't think I know what you are asking."
She took a step forward, almost to the point of touching, and asked again,
"What about me is so worth it?"
Po stood up straighter than ever, "Honey sit down because I'm just getting started! Awesome at Kung Fu, awesome at fighting, the best strategist, caring, a genius, kind, hardcore, a great teammate, beautiful, amazing, awseome, and-" He was cut off by Tigress.
Who was currently pressing her lips softly to his in a love filled kiss.
Po was on the verge fainting before he made a swift recovery and kissed back (much to Tigress's pleasure). Wrapping his thick arms around her slender waist, to which she found comforting and trusting. She slid her paws up his chest and snaked them around his neck, interlocking them. Fireworks played and replayed in their minds and the world slowed down to an almost complete stop as they kissed, broke apart, and kissed again. It was like making out without all the tongues. Their ears folded back, Po lightly growling in pleasure, Tigress pushing Po against the wall for more dominance while she purred in ectasy. Po slid his paw up to rest on her cheek (to which he found was short, like she trimmed them ;). Tigress, somehow, was able to get even closer to Po as she pressed her chest into him. Po was suprised by how aggressive she became but he didn't complain. (He was almost half mast now ;).
They were in complete euphoria.
After 7 minutes of absolute sucking face, they parted for air. They were breathing heavily, both were covered in sweat with big wide smiles on their faces. She leaned into him resting her face on his shoulder. They both sighed in affection.
"A hell of a kisser," Po said randomly.
Tigress lifted her eyebrow in confusion and then giggled childishly as she realized he was finishing his list. The one she cut him off of. She pulled back a little bit to look him in the eyes.
"I know it sounds like a crazy fan that's just giddy about kissing his idol," they both chuckled, "and it may seem I love you because you're a celebrity. But that's the thing."
She narrowed her eyes.
"That's just who you are. The real you. I guess what I'm trying to say is . . ." He paused finding the right words. ". . . I don't love you because you're called The Secret Ingredient Soup. I love you because I love the soup." He winced, thinking his explanation was stupid.
She became a little teary and Po became very pale.
"That was beautiful," she sighed as she hugged him again. He sighed regaining his lack of color. And they just stood there in peace and leaned into to kiss one more time.
"Are you done?"
Tigress flew off of Po when she saw the rest of the five standing there who saw the whole thing go down!
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Po and Tigress both yelled simultaneously, blushing uncontrollably. The rest of the team started hysterically laughing, walking back to their respective rooms.
Po saw Tigress dark beet red and had an idea to cheer her up. He looked down the hall and cupped his paws around his mouth and yelled,
"BY THE WAY, THERE IS NO SECRET INGREDIENT!"
Silence.
Then, all at once, he heard a shout from each room saying, "WHAT?!!?" and Tigress in Po doubled over in laughter.
Tigress, once she gained her composure, gave him a quick peck on the cheek and sauntered towards her room. Po watched her hips sway enticingly from side to side and her tail almost call him over. Just as she was about to shut her door, she looked back and winked seductively with her half closed eyes and smirk.
Po shuddered and went back to his own room, earing grumbles from the rest of the team before they all turned out their lights.
Po, for an unknown reason, could not get comfortable in his bed. He sat up and looked down to his lap.
'Damn it, Tigress' he thought.
The End!

‘With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear’
The nightmare played in her mind again, the same as it had every night of her life. Her former family being murdered one by one, and Lorelei Sienna herself running for her life. Her subconscious mind would not allow her to forget them.
First, there was the murder of Lance Lapiz, the reptilian leader of their little faction. The Elite Four they had called themselves. Lance had led the four of them in their desertion of the White Fang. None of them agreed with the organization's new leadership, as Sienna Khan's way of doing things was more violent than the diplomatic way of Ghira Belladonna.
Lapiz had always looked up to the panther, but this tigress was too much for him to take. Lapiz had seen a crew of grunts set fire to a shop because they refused to sell coffee to a passing Faunus. It didn't matter to them that the man couldn't pay for the coffee, that he was a troublemaker in the first place. They just lit the place ablaze.
That entire shop had been destroyed, and the cashier had been injured in the struggle. And for what, because some straggler Faunus had given him trouble? Lance couldn't believe what was happening, and he could not bring himself to take part in anything of that sort. He got a small crew of like-minded Faunus together and made a break for it.
Lance witnessed a White Fang raid on a Dust shop that the Schnee Dust Company supplied, and had jumped to the defense of a worker that some grunts were attacking. One of the grunts recognized him and taken him out almost instantly.
Bruno Bones was the next to fall. The bull Faunus had been distraught at losing Lance and went around punching holes into trees. A White Fang faction descended upon him while he was alone, and his life was over. Lorelei hadn't seen either of these as they'd happened, but they haunted her nightmares all the same.
Those two men were part of the only family she'd ever known, as her parents had been killed in a bandit raid when she was young.
The loss of Lance and Bruno had left Lorelei with only Agatha Ecru, the feline Faunus that had always watched over her. The two had become even closer since leaving the White Fang, sharing everything: their food, their secrets, and on occasion even themselves. Lorelei wasn't sure what love was, as running for her life had always been more important, but she thought it might feel something like what she felt when she was curled up in Agatha's arms.
The feel of her skin against Agatha's was definitely a wondrous feeling Lorelei had never felt before. She knew Lance and Bruno had loved one another that way, so perhaps it was love. Proximity was a more likely explanation, as Lorelei would understand that, but that didn't feel like this.
Agatha was preparing a raid on a nearby White Fang hideout, as she'd heard on the wind that they were keeping Lance and Bruno's weapons as sick trophies. Agatha had told Sienna that she must not follow after she'd left for the night. Sienna might have been younger than the rest of them, but she knew the way things worked.
Nearly every time one of them went off alone they never came back, and Lance and Bruno had not been running right into enemies on purpose. Ecru was basically handing herself over, and Sienna could not let that happen. Once Ecru was out of sight, Lorelei scooped up Koga and followed her.
The dreams had a tendency of fast-forwarding the little chase scene, bringing her to the hideout almost instantly. Ecru had left the door open, as she'd knocked out a grunt and used their handprint to open the automatic door, then destroyed the lock with Kikuko. Classic Agatha, always knowing her exit. Lorelei slipped in and scoured the area.
Almost instantly she was yanked to the side behind a wall.
"Lore, I told you not to follow me! I need to do this myself!" Agatha scolded her. Lorelei was not taking any of that.
"YOU CAME HERE TO DIE!!!" She yelled quietly, choking back tears at the thought. "I couldn't let you get yourself killed! Especially not to collect two weapons that may not even be here!" She hugged Agatha and nuzzled her neck. Agatha squeezed her tiny Sienna tightly.
"I guess I can't stop you. Just know that you can't die at the hands of these garbage grunts. I'll kill you if you do, love." She chortled and kissed Lorelei's forehead. As she pulled away Lorelei pulled her back, kissing her lips this time and holding on for a moment. "Yeah, I love your kisses too, but if we sit here making out we'll be found," Agatha told her. The two of them got to their feet and readied themselves.
"Good eye, sniper!" Lorelei told her.
"I shoot, you run!" Ecru replied, and the two of them were off. Ecru had an idea where the weapons might be, so they headed in that general direction. Their intrusion had not yet been realized, as there were no additional units placed around the base.
Lorelei saw the first guard around a corner, stopping short of rushing him. She pulled on one of her tusks and it pulled right out of her face, a new one replacing it nearly instantly. She thrust the bony spike at the guard, who fell as it shot straight into his heart. The guard's teammate moved to rush them, but another well-launched tusk took her down also.
"I thought I was doing the shooting, love." Agatha nicked from behind her.
"Come on, two kills in a row isn't bad." Lorelei retorted, pleased with herself.
"We should try not to kill anyone, although they won't value our lives as we value theirs," she told Sienna as she peeped around the corner. "This corridor is clear. Let's get it!" The two of them were off again.
This part always went faster in the dreams as well, or so Lorelei thought. She never knew how long they'd actually been in the base, only the awful happenings there.
Ecru put her sword up to a grunt's throat. This one she recognized. "You're actually a bit of a high rank. Kairyu and Dynafist! They are weapons that once belonged to two of my cohorts. Word through the ranks says they're still held by the White Fang, and a little birdy told me they were in this very base. Tell me where they are and I'll let you live."
"At the center of the hideout, in Giovanna's chamber. You'll never make it there, though. I'll have soldiers on you instantly. You can't fight them all yourself." The grunt spat, chortling. Ecru sighed.
"Yeah, I guess you won't be keeping quiet. Sienna, give him a sting or two." The tiny boar Faunus spun Koga around in one hand and stabbed the grunt's leg, her poison seeping out of the blade and into his skin. He let out a scream as it burned him, but Ecru covered his mouth. "It's okay, she poisoned you badly. You'll be out of your misery soon."
They left him lying there, but Ecru put a bullet in his chest for good measure.
The two warriors tore through the base. Giovanna Scarlet would not be at the base at this hour, so this should be quick and easy. They found the chamber in question, though it was sealed with a voice code. "Criminy, these are vernacularly fastened doors! Damn Scarlet for being endlessly extra!" Agatha cursed.
"The password is 'Hcez Nyrra," Lorelei spoke. "That's her lover's name. It probably has to be spoken in her voice, though." Lorelei puzzled for a moment before remembering something. "She's a parrot Faunus. She has that squawk in her voice!" She cried, reciting the password in her best parrot voice. The lock flashed different colors, and the door opened. "See? You would never have made it without me!"
"Oh, hush, love. Now, let's get those weapons." Ecru replied. The two of them scoured the room, quickly collecting the bo-staff and gauntlet they'd come looking for and stuffing them into Ecru's backpack. Their mission complete, they made a break for it.
They tore down soldier after soldier in their exit trek. They slashed their way through until they were nearly at the exit. Lorelei could hardly believe they'd succeeded.
Agatha stopped short, about twenty feet from the door. Lorelei stopped dead in her tracks as she saw what had happened. A grunt with a spear had jabbed it into Ecru's chest. Lorelei's heart stopped for a split second, the color leaving her orange eyes. The grunt had given a cheer about taking out the deserter and getting a promotion, but he would get no such thing.
Lorelei stabbed Kikuko into the grunt's throat, thrusting it ever deeper until it stuck through him like a roasting spit. The damage was already done, however. Ecru lay on the floor of the base, the last of the life seeping out of her. Lorelei held her for a moment, taking one last kiss from the one she loved.
The nightmare jumped around after that, a miserable highlight reel in her subconscious mind. The fire Lorelei had set in their temporary dwelling to burn Ecru's body. The reforging of her own katana, Koga, using parts from the weapons her friends had wielded. The initiation at Haven Academy and the meeting of her team.
Finally, a montage of events that had not happened, leading up to her death at the hands of the White Fang. Just before she would have 'died' she awoke with a start, lying in her bed breathing heavily. She heard a noise in the dorm's kitchen area. Indigo appeared with two mugs of hot tea.
"I heard you sleep talking and realized you were having the dream again, so I made you some chamomile tea." He passed her the mug, frowning after she took it. "I'm terribly sorry for freaking out about your lyric book. Zwei slapped me around and brought me to my senses."
"It's okay, dear. I'm just glad you're here with me. Also, I'm glad I didn't wake Zwei or Katrina."
"Tree sleeps like a stone, and I don't think Zwei sleeps at all some nights, anyway." The boy with the wispy purple hair told her. She hugged him tightly between sips of her tea. He hugged back, her warmth engulfing him. She was careful not to jab him with her tusks. They exchanged good-night words and Lore fell back into her bed.

Day 21: Faunus Character
I’m always down to write about my OCs. Lorelei Sienna is a boar Faunus with tusks jutting out of her face. She is able to yank these tusks off and throw them like knives, and new ones grow back in their place. She figures this may have been a blood trait, but she hardly knew her blood family.
She and her former cohorts are named for Kanto’s Elite Four. And all their weapons but Bruno’s are named accordingly. Sienna eventually goes to Haven Academy and becoming a member of Team MZKL (Musical) along with Zwei Silverstein, Indigo Monotya and Katrina Windstorm.
She alludes to Cynder the Dragon, as her Semblance is Poison, though she also touches on Koga and Lorelei from Pokemon as well as Spike from X-Men.
Giovanna Scarlet is an OC I made on the fly, but she alludes to Giovanni, the boss of Team Rocket... just in case that wasn’t obvious. Giovanni was always my favorite crime boss. Also, Hcez Nyrra should be self explanatory. If not, I’ll say this: I get a lot of mileage out of spelling names backwards.
