I know you wrote like this, don't lie to me
Mother
Part 2
You died. To the Primarchs you were like a mother. They came to say their last goodbyes to you. Angst.
@ghrgrsfdesfrfg @w-40-k
Rogal Dorn
Dorn stood at attention besides you, his posture perfect despite the grief that wracked his frame. In his hands was a single yellow flower, it was a symbol of his Legion but also of remembrance.
"I failed you" he said simply. "I was charged with your protection and I failed. There is no excuse for this failure, no justification that can diminish it."
He placed the flower on your chest, his hands steady despite his anguish.
"But before I failed you as a guardian, you succeeded in making me feel like a son. You taught me that duty and love were not opposing forces but two sides of the same coin. You made me understand that the greatest fortress is not built of stone but of the bonds between people."
His voice remained steady but tears tracked down his cheeks.
"I built walls around my heart to protect it from loss. But you... you found the gates I didn't even know existed. You walked through them as if they weren't there and made yourself at home in the spaces I thought were empty."
He knelt, finally breaking his perfect posture.
"I will build you a monument, Mother. Not of stone or steel but of the love you showed me. Every act of protection, every shield raised in defense of the innocent, every wall built to shelter rather than exclude... they will all be offerings to your memory."
His voice dropped to a whisper.
"Thank you for teaching me that strength is not just about endurance but about the courage to care. I love you, Mother. I will carry your lessons forward."
Konrad Curze
Curze approached like a shadow, his pale features drawn with anguish. He moved as if he expected you to disappear at any moment... as if this was another cruel vision.
"I saw this" he whispered, his voice broken. "I saw your death a thousand times, in a thousand different ways. But I couldn't... I couldn't make myself believe it was real. I told myself they were false futures, possibilities that could be avoided."
He reached out to touch your face with trembling fingers.
"You were the only good thing in my visions, Mother. When the darkness showed me nothing but horror and blood, you were there, a point of light that never went out. You made me believe that prophecy was not always doom."
His voice cracked.
"You kissed my forehead and called me son even knowing what I would become. Even seeing the monster I carry inside, you found something worth loving. How did you do that? How did you see past all the darkness?"
He collapsed beside you, his composure finally shattering.
"I'm sorry I couldn't save you. I'm sorry the visions showed me everything except how to prevent this. I would have given anything, my life, my soul, my sanity, anything to keep you here just one more day."
Broken sobs wracked his frame.
"You were my forgiveness, Mother. The proof that even something as tainted as me could be loved. Without you I'm just the monster again. Just the Night Haunter with no hope of dawn."
Sanguinius
Sanguinius came to you with wings folded tight against his back as if he was trying to make himself smaller, less imposing. His golden hair was disheveled, his perfect features marked by grief.
"My visions failed me" he said, his voice like breaking crystal. "I saw the darkness coming for you but I couldn't... I thought I could change it. I thought love could rewrite fate."
He knelt besides you with grace, his wings spreading slightly to shelter you both.
"You said love would be my strength, that it would be the thing that saved me from the darkness in my blood. But without you here I don't know how to fight it alone."
His voice grew thick with tears. He touched your hand with his own, so gently it was barely contact.
"I'm afraid, Mother. Afraid of what I'll become without your love to guide me. Afraid that I'll forget the lessons you taught me and become just another weapon in the Emperor's arsenal."
He leaned down and kissed your forehead, the gesture heartbreakingly gentle.
"Fly with me, Mother. When I take to the skies, be the wind beneath my wings. Help me remember that angels are meant to be guardians, not destroyers. I love you. I will love you until the stars burn out."
Ferrus Manus
Ferrus knelt besides you with something precious in his silver hands, a pendant he had been crafting as a gift for you. He almost destroyed it in shock when he heard of your death but it was now perfectly completed. The metal caught the light like captured starfire.
"I finished it" he said, his voice rough with emotion. "I worked for three days straight, I didn't stop. I had to... I had to finish it for you."
He placed the pendant around your neck with infinite care, his metal fingers surprisingly gentle.
"It's not much, I know. Just silver and care, but I put everything I had into it. Every technique I knew, every skill I possessed. I wanted to give you something worthy of the love you showed me."
His voice cracked.
"You were the only one who saw the artisan beneath the warrior, Mother. When everyone else looked at these hands and saw weapons, you saw tools of creation. You taught me that strength could be used to build as well as destroy."
He touched the pendant where it lay against your neck.
"I don't know how to create beautiful things in a world without you in it. My hands feel cold now, colder than the metal they're made of. But I'll try, Mother. I'll try to remember that you saw beauty in what I made."
Tears fell onto the silver pendant.
"Thank you for loving the man inside the metal. Thank you for seeing past the machine to find the soul. I love you, Mother. I'll carry that love in everything I forge."
Angron
Angron approached slowly as if his very presence might somehow harm her memory. The Nails were silent for once, shocked into stillness by the magnitude of his loss.
"The pain stopped" he said wonderingly, touching the scars on his skull. "For the first time since they put these things in my head, the pain just... stopped. I think it's because you're not here to feel it anymore."
He knelt beside you with infinite care, his massive frame trembling.
"You were my peace, Mother. The only time the Nails went quiet was when you held me. You would run your fingers over my cheeks and tell me stories about worlds where no one fought, where children played instead of bled."
His voice broke.
"I wanted to be better for you. I tried so hard to be the son you deserved instead of the broken thing the high-riders made me. But the Nails... they never let me rest, never let me be gentle."
He reached out to touch your face, his scarred hands impossibly tender.
"You said I was still your son, even with these scars, even with the rage. You said the love I showed my gladiator brothers proved there was still humanity in me. You made me believe I was more than just a weapon."
His tears fell like rain.
"I'm scared, Mother. Scared that without you to remind me I'll forget that I'm supposed to be human. Scared that the Nails will take everything good you saw in me and grind it to nothing."
He pressed his forehead to your hand.
"I love you, Mother. You were my salvation and now you're gone and I don't know how to find my way back to the light."

Mother
Part 1
You died. To the Primarchs you were like a mother. They came to say their last goodbyes to you. Angst.
@ghrgrsfdesfrfg @w-40-k
Lion El'Jonson
The Lion knelt besides you with perfect knightly grace, his head bowed in respect. His hands, those weapons of war, trembled as he reached out to touch your folded fingers.
"Mother" he whispered, his voice barely audible. "I came as soon as I could. I know... I know I'm too late but I had to tell you."
He lifted your hand to his lips, pressing a gentle kiss to your knuckles.
"I brought you something. A flower from Caliban, from the grove where you said you wanted to walk someday. I know it's just a simple thing but you always said the simplest gifts carried the most love."
He placed the white bloom in your other hand, his fingers lingering on yours.
"I was your knight, Mother. I was supposed to protect you, to come when you called. I was too far away, fighting battles that don't matter now. Forgive me. Please forgive your failed knight."
A single tear fell onto your joined hands.
"I love you, Mother. I should have said it more. I should have said it every day."
Fulgrim
Fulgrim approached with a canvas in his hands, his features streaked with tears he made no attempt to hide.
"I finished it" he said, holding up the painting, your portrait, now complete despite the scar his chisel had left which fell from his hands when he heard the news of your death. "I know it's not perfect but you always said my imperfections made my art more beautiful."
He set the painting where you could see it... if you could still see.
"You were my muse, Mother. Every beautiful thing I ever created was because I was trying to capture even a fraction of the beauty I saw in you. Not just your face, though you were lovely, but your soul. The way you saw wonder in everything."
His voice broke.
"I wanted to paint you forever. I wanted to spend eternity trying to show the galaxy what real beauty looked like. But I can't... I can't paint you anymore. How do I create beauty in a world that doesn't have you in it?"
He touched your cheek with infinite gentleness.
"Thank you for teaching me that love was the greatest art of all. I'll try to remember that even when the world feels ugly without you."
Perturabo
Perturabo stood besides you with his hands full of blueprints, dozens of them, architectural plans that represented years of work.
"I brought you the designs" he said, his voice rough with emotion. "All of them. The gardens you wanted to see, the palaces I designed with rooms full of light, the cities where children could play safely in the streets."
He spread them out around you, a paper ocean of dreams made manifest.
"You were the only one who understood what I was trying to build. Everyone else saw weapons and fortifications but you... you saw homes. You saw beauty. You saw the future I was trying to create."
His massive hands clenched into fists.
"I wanted to build you a garden, Mother. A place where you could walk among growing things and know that they were protected by walls that would never fall. I wanted to give you peace made manifest in stone and steel."
He knelt besides you, his voice dropping to a whisper.
"I don't know how to build without you to build for. What's the point of creating something beautiful if the most beautiful thing in the galaxy is gone?"
He pressed his forehead to your hand.
"I love you, Mother. You made me feel like an architect instead of just a destroyer. Thank you for seeing the dreams in my blueprints."
Jaghatai Khan
The Khan came to your side with wind-tousled hair and dust on his boots as if he had ridden hard to reach you.
"I'm sorry I'm late" he said, sinking to one knee beside hs you. "I was riding when the news came and I... I couldn't stop. I rode for three days straight, hoping that if I was fast enough I could somehow outrun this reality."
He took your hand in both of his.
"You understood why I had to ride, didn't you? You never asked me to stay, never tried to cage me like the others did. You knew that the hunt was part of who I was and you loved me anyway."
His voice grew thick with emotion.
"But I should have stayed more often. I should have sat with you in the gardens and let you braid flowers in my hair. I should have told you about the sunsets I saw on distant worlds, should have brought you stories from the wind roads."
He lifted your hand to his cheek.
"You were my anchor, Mother. The fixed point that let me range so far because I always knew I could return. Now I'm lost in a way I've never been before and I don't know how to find my way home."
He took a shuddering breath.
"Ride with me in spirit, Mother. When I race across distant worlds be the wind at my back. That's how I'll carry you with me, in the freedom you gave me to be who I was meant to be."
Leman Russ
Russ approached with something clutched in his massive fist. When he opened it, it revealed a small carved wolf, no bigger than his thumb, crude but heartfelt.
"I made this for you" he said, his voice gruff with suppressed emotion. "I know it's not much. I'm not... I'm not good with the gentle things like Fulgrim or Vulkan. But I wanted you to have something."
He placed the tiny wolf in your palm, closing your fingers around it.
"You were the only one who wasn't afraid of me, Mother. When I was young and the wolf was strong, when I could barely control the beast in my blood, you would run your fingers through my hair and tell me stories until I was calm again."
His voice broke.
"You called me your wolf-son and you meant it as a loving thing. Not as something to be ashamed of but as something precious. You made me feel like the wolf and the man could exist together, that I didn't have to choose."
He rested his forehead against the edge of your bier.
"I howled for you, Mother. All the way from Fenris to Terra, I howled. And for the first time in my life the howl felt empty because you weren't there to answer."
His tears fell freely now.
"Pack bonds are forever, Mother. Death doesn't break them. You'll always be part of my pack, the heart of it. I love you. My pack loves you. Forever."

To War
Pairing: Roboute Guilliman x FemReader
Warnings: Nothing much in this one.
The assault on Victor's stronghold begins.
Find the previous parts of this series on my Masterlist. Comment and ask to be added to/removed from my Taglist. And remember, my Asks and DMs are always open!
“Missile launch!”
Standing resolute in the Command Center of the Macragge’s Honor, Guilliman didn’t hesitate. “Bring the fleet into Formatio Scutum.”
Shield Formation. Let us now see what TerraNovan commanders are worth.
He only had to look out the viewports to see the two largest voidships in his ragtag fleet lumber into position. The former mercenary flagship Predator on his right. The scarred TerraNovan battleship Eko Tuntun on his left. His keen eyes picked up the mirage-like shimmer flickering over their hulls.
Increased power to the shields. As we discussed. 
A grim smile curved his lips. It seemed Admiral Takahashi was taking well to her new command. His eyes flicked to the Eko Tuntun, remembering the lean face of its commander. 
Captain Eze is also proving competent.
The first of the missiles impacted mere moments after the three behemoths achieved formation. Burst of iridescent bio-incendiaries lit the void, but the ships’ combined shields held. 
“Have the TerraNovan cogitators-” he paused, “...computers… located the launch sites?”
A burst of vox static. “Affirmative, my Lord! Shall I give them the order to- they are launching counterstrikes!”
If only more Imperial naval commanders showed such initiative.
Numerous baseline crewmembers gasped as beams of white light streaked from the two TerraNovan ships to the planet below. Even Guilliman spared a fraction of a second to marvel at the great energy weapons, capable of pinpointing and vaporizing single buildings from orbit. With minimal collateral damage.
Within his gauntlets, his fingers twitched.
Theoretical: that bastard Victor has proven he wants you alive. Practical: he would not keep you near potential targets.
You are not there.
He willed it to be so.
“My Lord! Incoming transmission from the planet!”
At his side Commander Sicarious growled. “They wish to surrender so soon?”
Guilliman scowled. “You know well that nothing is ever so easy. Patch the message through.”
A long burst of static, then…. 
“Roboute?”
His hearts stopped. The last time he’d heard that voice, it had been screaming for help he’d failed to provide. In two strides he crossed the deck and stood before the vox terminal. The operator squeaked and scrambled out of her seat, ceding control to the looming Primarch.
“My Love.” He poured every iota of the anguished devotion that had torn through his restraint and reason into the words. “I am here. I have come for you.”
***
You could not have stopped your tears even if you tried. They carved paths through the grime on your cheeks, salt stinging half-healed abrasions. Beside you, Listener reached out and laid a gentle hand on your arm. No voice murmured reassurance in your mind, but you felt strengthened nonetheless.
Still, all that managed to force its way past the lump in your throat was, “Roboute.”
In all the time since your abduction, you’d been focused on the immediate. On survival. You’d only allowed yourself brief moments of melancholy memory. But now, standing here before this transmitter, in this warren of a military base, with explosions sounding in the distance and shaking dirt from the ceiling, you finally let yourself feel.
To know he’s here… to know he’s come for me… that it’s all almost over….
“My Love?” The impossibly deep voice on the other end of the transmission grew urgent. “Are you well? Are you safe?”
You closed your eyes. “I am as well as I can be.”
In a few halting sentences, you explained your situation. Your surroundings. The allies you’d found against all odds.
“You should speak to Captain Antoine, Roboute. I will call-”
“No.”
Despite coming from orbit far above the world you stood upon, the command sent electricity jolting through your nervous system. Even the imperturbable Listener flinched and backed away.
“Do not go.”
Something primal within you responded. “I won’t, beloved. I’m here.”
A sound that might have been panting rumbled through the speaker.
“Roboute-”
“Forgive me… for not reaching you before.”
You melted. “Oh, Roboute. I never-”
“I should have been better. I will be better. I will drown this planet in blood until I hold you in my arms again.”
His ferocity should have frightened you. Instead, you felt heat ignite in your lower belly. Your hands trembled.
“I will be waiting for you.”
“Yes.” A long, shuddering breath. “I will speak to your Captain. Remain near.”
“Always.”
When you turned, Captain Antoine stood behind you. He didn’t meet your eyes, a dark flush on his cheeks, one hand tugging at his mustache. Next to him, Listener gave another of her enigmatic smiles.
“I took the liberty of summoning him while you spoke with your intended.” She murmured.
You nodded your thanks, feeling your own cheeks heat at the memory of what they’d both likely overheard. “Your future Patron wishes to speak with you, Captain.”
He cleared his throat, still avoiding your gaze. “Yes, ma’am.”
As he took your place at the transmitter, you pressed your hands over your racing heart.
By the Light, I ache for him. Soon.
In the distance, the explosions continued.
But not yet.
***
“Next magazine, Big Guy!”
Tarchus lifted the cylinder of ammunition with minimal effort, loading it into the heavy gun now mounted to the mech’s left arm. In the cockpit, Frenzy jabbed a button. Machinery whined and the multi-barrels spun.
“Aaaand that’s the last of the calibrations done.” A tousled head poked through the hatch and fixed him with a familiar grin. “She’s fully armored and ready to kick. Some. Ass!”
This time, he did not smile in return. “Your levity is misplaced.”
“What?” Swinging her legs over the side of the hatch, she fell to the hangar floor with a grunt. “Just because we’re about to face down an army of giant, horrifying bugs who can zombify me with a touch, I can’t be excited? Fuck that.”
He huffed a burst of air through his nostrils.
This woman will kill me sooner than the Tyranids.
“Yet again, you oversimplify.”
She planted her fists on her hips and looked up at him, grin still firmly in place. “Didn’t your mama ever read you stories as a kid? Look around you!”
She gestured at the hangar. At TerraNovan engineers and Imperial techpriests working in (admittedly tense) tandem. At soldiers, mercenaries, and armed civilian voidsmen loading onto Thunderhawks and TerraNovan Lightning-class gunships. All the familiar restrained aggression of a battle yet to begin.
If I must endure one more “Thunder and Lightning” joke out of her…. 
She continued. “We’re the heroes, here! The ones who swoop in, slay the dragons, and rescue the princess. We have to win. So quit fucking moping.”
“We do not face dragons.”
“Fucking Void!” She threw her hands in the air. “You’re hopeless.”
He clenched his jaw. “Refusing to acknowledge the strength of an enemy is a swift path to annihilation.”
“Another line from your precious Codex?”
Something in him snapped. “Damn you to the Warp, woman!”
Hundreds of heads turned their way at the bellow. Tarchus closed his eyes and breathed deeply. 
What has become of my control? Why does she test me so? Why does the thought of her death make me feel-
A hand on his gauntlet. He opened his eyes to see Frenzy standing nearer than she had before, grin gone.
“I’m sorry, Big Guy.” Her voice had dropped to a whisper. “I know I’m… a lot to deal with. And I understand that what we’re about to face down there… fuck.” She gave a weak smile. “I’ve never faced anything like it before, and I’m fucking terrified. So, I laugh. It’s either that or cry.”
Another new feeling welled inside the Ultramarine. Similar to what he felt whenever he thought of the lost Lady. A desire to… protect.
“You will not face it alone, Frenzy.” He hesitated, then reached out and placed a massive armored hand on her shoulder. “By the Emperor, I vow it.”
Her eyes widened for a moment. She reached up and laid her own small hand over his.
“Tarchus, if we don’t make it through this, I just want to say-”
“VANGUARD ASSAULT SQUAD. BOARD NOW AND PREPARE FOR DEPLOYMENT.”
“Fuck!” Frenzy stepped back. “Give me a hand, Big Guy?”
He obliged, letting her use his gauntlet as a step stool as she clambered back into her mech’s cockpit. He watched her strap in, connecting various cables to ports in the black, reinforced arming suit she’d managed to scavenge from the wreckage of the Armory. 
“Void damn it… hand me my-”
Tarchus already had her helmet in his hand. She flashed him another grin.
“Thanks! We make a pretty good team, you and I.” She slipped it onto her head, the holo-visor automatically projecting over her eyes, and flashed him a thumbs up.
“Courage and honor, Lieutenant.”
Side by side, mech-pilot and marine marched toward a waiting Thunderhawk. 
***
Aboard another, specially modified Thunderhawk, Roboute Guilliman prepared for war. His Victrix Guard stood at his side, tension radiating from their Commander.
I understand your concerns, my son. But nothing will keep me from this battlefield.
So far, the plan had gone well. The mercenary fortress’ missile sites had been obliterated. The combined shields of the three battleships had allowed the smaller voidships huddled behind to launch their troops undisturbed. A landing zone was even now being cleared by the TerraNovan Rangers planetside. 
Only one detail set Guilliman’s teeth on edge.
“No, Roboute.”
He’d continued as if you hadn’t made that ridiculous objection. “You will come to the Landing Zone. My personal Thunderhawk will transport you back to the Macragge’s Honor.”
“You’re not listening to me.”
“You are being irrational!”
“I am their Matron Uncrowned! I cannot abandon them!”
“Do not make me order my sons to take you by force.”
The vox had gone silent for a long time after that. “You wouldn’t.”
“I would, my Love.” 
To keep you safe, I would.
“Roboute, I love you, but I’ve been either hiding or running all my life. No more.”
You’d cut the transmission after that… and he’d put his fist through the terminal.
The Thunderhawk trembled in such a way that he knew they were entering the atmosphere. Almost immediately afterwards the unmistakable sound of artillery filled the air. The vox came alive with pilots’ chatter.
“Anti-aircraft gun spotted! Firing energy cannons!”
“Whoo! That was a close one!”
“I’m hit! Mayday, mayday! Light help-”
“My Lord!” The Ultramarine pilot shouted to be heard over the chaos. “Landing Zone in sight. It appears heavily contested.”
“Open fire when in range, Lucius. Bring them wrath and ruin.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
Soon, the roar of Thunderhawk guns added to the cacophony. Guilliman closed his eyes, seeking the calm he always felt before battle. Instead, he saw your face. 
You’re close.
The thought made the beast within, the beast he thought he’d forced back into its cage, roar. He wrestled with it. He could not become a being of unthinking rage. Not again. He needed to plan, strategize, retain his rationality. Only then could victory be assured.
With a bone-shaking thud, the Thunderhawk landed. The ramp opened. Light and heat and screams and blood-
And you. My wife. My woman. Mine. Mine. MINE!
Vengeance Incarnate charged, flaming blade held high, into the fray.

yes it is 😁.
One cursed killer wasn't enough so we decided to add another as a love interest !
They'll come back to haunt Gotham though.
Sorry if the story is a bit confusing, it's their introduction as future characters.
As promised in this poll, the Attraction is here ! I hope you will all like it.
TW : brutal death, people burning to death, execution, springlock failure, decapitation and child death.

Jane's appearance
Attraction's suit appearance
The birth of Evil
Quiet beginnings :
Some say that evil isn’t birthed but made, there is always an exception to the rule and it was you.
Your father always knew you would be like him, special but misunderstood. He could see it in your eyes, that glint, always in need of violence and not a simple fight but blood, suffering and death.
It started with some insects you found in the garden, a cricket ? You removed a leg and looked with wide eyes as it frantically tried to escape, the panicked movement of it’s legs were hypnotizing. Then came the ants, so many possibilities ! Crushing them, microwaving a few or feeding some to a spider.
It’s almost like you could taste it, the impending doom. The final moments of life and it was intoxicating.
Death was fascinating to you, people feared it but you always loved the morbid, what did people felt during their last moments ? What does death feel like ? You would give so much to see the life leaving their eyes, hearing their last heartbeat or their final breath.
You soon discovered that prolonging the suffering was another source of anguish, instead of ending it quickly, why not torture these poor insects more ? You were flooding ants hill, burning a moth’s wings and tore legs from centipedes and you could only wonder how the pain felt like, such monstrous curiosity !
Your father noticed and he couldn’t be more proud of you, you were an Afton ! More than that, you were both alike, cruel and merciless but he always told you it was normal.
It truly started during middle school, you brought a bird you captured and showed your classmates the funny noise it made when you snapped some of it’s bones.
They didn’t understand, how silly of them. “you are hurting it !” they said, “it’s cruel !” they exclaimed.
You showed them how to play the game.
You broke the boy’s arm and he screamed, such a beautiful noise. You snapped the girl’s wrist and she cried out in pain, music to your ears. Only one of them understood, a pale girl calling herself Jane and you were glad to finally have a normal friend.
The teachers came running only to find you and Jane peacefully talking while two children were on the ground crying, safe to say you were almost expelled but your father was quite charismatic, he assured them that you were only defending yourself after these mean children dared to hurt your bird, and it was true ! Even Jane defended you and you were eternally thankful for that.
Your father was happy about this development, even at such a young age you already fought someone and won. In public he scolded you harshly but at home ? He hugged you and told you how great you did.
“Reader, you will be even better than me one day, you will show them what it means to be an Afton and I cannot ask for anything better from my son.” he told you warmly as he showed you the workshop he was spending most of his time in.
It was full of blueprint and metallic suits resembling animals. You were to young to understand most of it but you liked the yellow rabbit suit, you excitedly jumped around asking him to have it. “Grow a bit son, and I’ll gladly give it to you.” He smiled as you looked at the suit.
Other children at school were terrified of you and Jane, she told you that it was because of the two children you brutalized earlier in the year but you didn’t care, you had a friend and it was all that mattered.
She introduced you to her family and they were wary of you, much to her chagrin as her parents always pressed her to find a friend, although you did hear some joke that she finally found a boyfriend.
“Boyfriend, what is that ?” you asked confused, you were a boy and her friend so why was she blushing ?
“it’s nothing” she tried to play it off but she was obviously embarrassed, luckily for her you didn’t understand that word yet.
The darkness grows :
Middle school went without much incident as your father insisted on you not getting into trouble, he wouldn’t always be there to get you out of trouble and you needed to lay a low profile. “I know son, you want violence, you crave it but for now. Stay quiet and calm alright ?”
High school was a playground for you, your father taught you to control yourself more and Jane was with you in class, you two often fought during sport class and you both loved it. She was fast and moved with such class, it was hypnotizing, like watching a ballet dancer.
You still got into some trouble but it was easier to get away with it, just teenagers messing with each other right ? How wrong they were, the school staff never knew. How could they ?
It started with another guy, he was getting close with Jane and you didn’t understand that feeling in your chest, a weight on your heart while your feelings were confused. Why were you feeling like this ? They were just talking but you didn’t like that so you got rid of him.
It was pathetically easy, he ran fast but you were faster. You had to do it quickly since you were supposed to be at Jane’s house for a sleepover and she was covering for your absence, she didn’t like him either and unfortunately for him, You both had the same idea: killing him.
the poor boy never got a chance to scream, you covered his mouth and slowly sank the blade in his chest. The haunted look in his eyes was intoxicating. It was an exhilarating experience, one that you wanted to try again.
The walk back to her home was quiet but unique, you had just killed someone. You climbed back to her room and changed into some pajamas instead of the clothes you used during the chase and Jane simply asked “how was it ?”.
She knew how the first time felt when killing someone and she was eager to know how you felt. “I can’t say, excited, scared and asking for more I would say” you replied as you sat on the bed, she could practically feel the excitement rolling off of you in waves.
She smiled as she looked at her nails, “I figured you would be, it was similar for me.” you smiled at her “you always know what to say, who was your first victim ?” you asked her with interest, this was the first time you truly spoke openly about killing.
“A girl who made fun of me during the summer, I did it the night before we left the camping. Poor girl fought and thrashed but I managed to cut into her guts, she was bleeding too much and begged for me to call someone, I waited until she died and even when she was looking at me in her final moments I did nothing to help her. Seeing the light leave her eyes was something words cannot describe.”
Jane explained it to you while reading a book and it was the moment you two realized something. you weren’t just the same, you were meant for each other. It wouldn’t be long until you would both act on these feelings.
The two of you didn’t know it yet but killing this boy would set a terrible chain of events written in blood and vengeance. Events whose consequences will forever haunt Gotham.
Then came the prom, you were nervous and you didn’t know how to ask Jane out. Your father was an absolute tease about it but he gave you some solid advice (and an outfit that rocked, thanks dad) on how to resolve the situation. Listening to him and your heart you asked her and she jumped in your arm, it was rare for her to be this expressive but she kissed you and told you that she’d be more than happy to accompany you to the prom.
The day of the prom was magical for the both of you, you couldn’t believe your eyes when you saw her in her dress, a beautiful black dress with silver lines all over it while her hair was a flowing river of black strands. She wasn’t one for jewelry but she wore a magnificent golden necklace that compliment her dark dress.
It felt like the rest of the room didn’t matter when you saw her enter the Prom, you made your way toward her and you suddenly felt nervous with your purple costume but she found it to be exquisite on you. You didn’t know what to do or say until a stupid idea came to mind.
“Want to dance ? Jonah is the DJ and I know he has some good tunes to play.” it sounded better in your head but to hell with caution, now was the time to spend some quality time with her and show the school was the two of you were made of !
She took your hand and you headed toward the dance floor, it started with a few energetic song and the two of you were killing it ! The synergy was perfect between you two, laughing and dancing like there was no tomorrow.
You were having fun until Jonah decided to play something slower and romantic, you sheepishly told Jane you didn’t know how to dance on these type of songs and she gave you a small smile.
“Don’t worry and follow my lead.” you tried and you stepped on her feet a few time with her joking that you wanted to kill her shoes, you joked back and told her that dancing like you were was punishment enough.
Quickly enough you two were leading the dance, you saw some jealous glances from other students you snickered and Jane followed your gaze. “let them watch, it’s the two of us today” she told you quietly and she was right, it felt like all the light were on you and the room didn’t exist.
It was honestly a magical dance for the two of you, you were lost in her eyes, her beautiful black orbs. You could look at her eyes for hours and in that single instant no one else mattered in the world as you finished the dance with a spin.
People clapped and you decided to take the lead, you looked at Jane and… the two of you kissed there. It was honestly special, you never knew such a simple action was so good, so meaningful. People didn’t believe it, the outcast with Jane ? The mysterious Jane chose the creepy kid ?
You wanted to shut them up the hard way but Jane stilled your hand, “ignore them, let them be jealous and let’s grab something to drink” she told you as she gave a glare to some of the boys.
The Prom ended on a good note, a few more dance with friends and some drink that teenagers definitely shouldn’t drink. You decided to walk back home with her and you stopped at a park, she held your hand the whole time and you just took the time to talk about anything and everything.
It was refreshing to be honest, in that moment you both got to be who you truly were. “I had fun today, you were mesmerizing.” you told her, sitting on a bench and tilting your head on her shoulder.
She tilted back, her hair tickling your skin “I had fun too, who knew you were such a good dancer ? You should dance with my uncle, he loves disco and rock.”
“sounds like fun, count me in” you squeezed her hand and looked at the night sky, all the stars were looking down on you two. “I love you Jane, from the day we met.”
she squeezed back and answered in a soft and melodious voice “I do too, I never want to live without you now.” you put an arm around her “I don’t plan on leaving, not now, not ever”.
A soul for a soul :
It started shortly before the end of summer and Jane’s departure for college, you would work with your father at his pizzeria while she would leave for college so as a gift before she left you gifted her a guitar, your guitar.
She smiled and promised to treasure it, you offered to teach her whenever she got time and she jumped in your arm, “do you plan to embarrass me like I embarrassed you at the Prom ?” she teased you, a malicious grin plastered on her face.
“Keep laughing Jane but I know something I excel at and you don’t”. Your smirk should’ve been a red flag but she made the fatal mistake of indulging her curiosity.
“ho ? Pray tell what are you an expert of ?” she never saw it coming, you ruffled her hair and ruined her haircut, a look of horror and anger on her face while yours was all smile and smugness.
“Pranking you ! Bye Jane ! I have something urgent to do !” you ran off before she flew in a terrible rage, yelling all sort of terrible curses on your name while her family laughed and teased the poor girl.
The last few weeks before she left were peaceful, your father taught you how to repair the suits, wear them and even entertain the customer with your guitar, you were quite popular in that bunny suit ! This job wasn’t the best but you had enough free time to not think about the boredom too much.
That peace was merely the calm before the storm, the terrible harsh storm that threw both of your lives upside down.
It happened the weekend before she was supposed to leave, her house was broken into and someone poured gasoline inside the house then lit it on fire, the firefighters present that day have no idea how she survived but if the broken leg was any indication she jumped from her room even as she was burning, the fall broke her legs and they arrived just in time to extinguish her.
The GCPD was quick to dispatch a unit on the site to start an investigation, among them was a cop named Jim Gordon. He didn’t know it yet but this case would haunt him for the rest of his days. Meanwhile you learned of it in the morning on the radio and you didn’t believe it, you must’ve heard wrong.
You skipped work much to your father’s confusion and you were greeted with a crime scene and a team of cops surrounding the place but worst of all were the bodies, was Jane one of them ?
Gordon looked at the crime scene for what felt hours until he saw you arrive, panicking and visibly shaken by the bodies around or maybe you hoped someone wasn’t among these victims ? He approached you and lead you away from the house.
“Kid, I… are you from the family or do you know them ?” he asked as gently as he could but you quickly answered.
“No I… I’m… look I’m the boyfriend of a girl who lives here, Jane is her name. Is she here ? Or maybe she’s safe and- I can’t lose her now !” he could tell you where scared but he did have one good news for you.
“She is safe, a tall girl with pale skin and black hair ? She was taken to the hospital not too long ago, someone can take you there.” You felt immense relief at this, you thanked him and left with another officer.
The ride to the hospital was the longest and most atrocious ride of your life, how did this happen ? WHO did this and why ? You didn’t know but they would pay, you swore as your sadness turned to anger.
Walking to her room was even worse, what were you going to see ? You tried to hope for the best, maybe she escaped the fire in time ? Maybe her injuries weren’t too bad ? You soon realized it was foolish when you entered her room and saw Jane with an older man inside, it was her uncle but the most glaring issue was the state Jane was in.
Her skin was burned a lot, her hair suffered the same treatment and she was a shell of herself as she was quietly sobbing into her hands and couldn’t meet anyone’s face, much less your own.
“no…” she muttered when you entered, “don’t look at me please…”. She tried to hide herself more but whined because of the pain.
You rushed to her side, barely acknowledging her uncle who gave you two some space. “Jane… I… how are you feeling ?” you took her hands in your and they were oddly warm despite the cracked skin she now possessed.
You both held each other for a while until she whispered in your ears, her voice no longer as charming and confident like it once was but a fragile and scared whimper “Who do you think did it ?”
You thought hard about her question but didn’t really have an answer, you don’t remember offending someone this much. The only thing you remembered was an investigation about someone killed a few month ago, nothing was found but the family swore revenge.
“Jane, do you remember that investigation that was on the news maybe 6 or 7 month ago ? People looking after a murderer or looking for revenge ?” you saw her face then, burned and cracked but angry, the type of anger that you still feel to this day.
“yes…” she trembled in pain, “I believe so, I don’t remember the figure in the house clearly but I saw them when jumping from the window. Someone did it on purpose”
A bit after that a police officer came in to ask her some question, one of them was if she saw the assailant or could point out anything about them.
“It was a tall figure, I didn’t see much after jumping and burning but I am sure it was a very dark hair, black or dark brown. They were also tall and broad, someone who is doing a lot of training at the gym I would say”
“Miss Jane, you have a… reputation around town, many students wanted to be with you during school. Did one of them try to flirt with you or didn’t take a rejection kindly ?”
You both knew, you killed a guy during a sleepover and now his family burned Jane’s house and family as revenge. You both knew, they wanted her dead.
“Gary…” you started “it’s fucking Gary ! Jealous asshole that he is ! I remember someone from his family hitting on her a while back, must be a brother or cousin. He was killed soon after if I recall” you were lying, you recalled it very well. After all it was you who killed him.
The cop noted everything “Are you accusing him of the fire ?” he asked.
“I… I don’t know but his haircut, hair color and hell even his stature matches what Jane said.” you deflected, you couldn’t attract attention too much now that the murder was on the table.
After a few more questions he left and you soon had to leave as well, work was worse then it has ever been. You had to deal with customers complaining about the show and had to work more in the bunny suit. Not that you complained but summer wasn’t a good time to wear a suit made of metal.
During your next few visits you also noticed how down Jane was, you took some metal scrap from the workshop and made her a mask resembling her old face, it was an ivory white with eyes as black and deep as obsidian.
You gave it to her and she was visibly surprised “You did this… for me ? I don’t know what to say.”
“Say nothing, I want to see you smile despite everything that happened, to see the Jane I know come back. It will take time to heal but I will be there with you.” She started tearing up and decided to put it on, she finally felt like herself once again.
She touched the mask and it felt like a second face to her, she hugged you despite the pain and thanked you, she couldn’t stop the teasing comment however “you give me back my face but I still lost your guitar in that fire”
you chuckled, it was a good sign that she managed to make jokes even now. “I'll never forgive you for the loss of my beloved guitar, how am I going to live without it ?” you dramatically fell on the ground after that much to her amusement.
Bloody retribution :
A year came by and Jane finally healed, although her skin would never truly recover and she would carry the pain from the fire forever, she was finally outside the hospital and lived with her uncle for now. You were still saddened to see her flinch from time to time.
Both of you wanted answer from the GCPD, did they know you killed that boy ? Was the family behind bars or in the process to be put there ?
You both raged when they told you that the trail had gone cold, with no cameras to support the evidence and a meager description wasn’t enough. In short they got off Scott-free but it wouldn’t stand, you both refused to let it be.
You both wanted blood, you both wanted to make them pay.
The plan was simple : go to their house, make them suffer, kill them and dispose of any evidence.
Jane would wait at your house while you secured a vehicle to go there along with tools necessary to break in the house if needed. On the day of the murder your father was proud of you, “show them who the Afton are, son and make them pay”.
You were determined and told him you’d do it, you prepared your bunnie suit and put it in the truck you stole from someone after killing them. Afterward you drove to your house and picked Jane up.
On the way she asked why you wanted to take the suit and you told her “I feel like myself when I put it on, almost as if I’m meant to wear it, I can’t explain it well but I just want to use it.” she nodded quietly, the ride was silent but full of anticipation and revenge.
Once there, you observed the house and everything was quiet. The truck stopped and you put on the suit, Jane had to admit it suited you, no pun intended. You felt like you could take on the world and with an axe in hand ? This family didn’t stand a chance.
“I want Gary, you do what you want with the rest but they all need to die, is this clear ?” she asked you, determination and anger radiated from her in waves.
“Loud and clear, I’ll get the parent while you get the big guy, you can do this despite the pain ?” you asked with a flicker of concern, she was technically still in recovery but she assured you she could do it.
With that she lock-picked the door and you quietly made your way inside despite wearing a cumbersome suit. The stairs creaked under your weight and she cursed you out for making too much noises which was followed by you giving her the middle finger.
You went deeper in the corridor, the darkness clinging to you like a shroud. Meanwhile Jane checked a room and found her target, unfortunately he woke up due to the creaking and threw himself at her thus starting the fight.
While she could handle herself with her knowledge on fighting she was still outmatched by Gary’s raw strength and a punch to her ribs sent her flying backward, she let him approach and sank her knife in his stomach.
Impossibly, he powered through the pain and threw her down the stairs, she feigned being taken down and waited for the occasion. It came when he grabbed her to turn her around and she drove her knife into his leg.
He screamed and she kicked the knife in his leg, driving it even deeper before she started choking him, despite all the hits she was still taking, the pain all over her body and Gary trying to free himself she told him “you almost got me and now you pay the price”.
With Gary dead it left his parents and anyone unfortunate enough to be in this house, you checked a few room but found nothing until you heard a door open “Gary is that you ? Why are you making so much noise ? Are you okay ?” a gentle voice asked.
It was his mother, she woke up because of the scream and decided to check it out, not wanting to wake up her husband she picked up a flashlight and then she saw it.
A monster, a rabbit towering over her armed with an axe, it’s mouth bloodied and glowing cold eyes instantly locked on her, it’s voice was the sounds of tombstone grinding together.
“I’m the fun one ! Come here and play !” It bellowed and ran at her, she screamed but before she could close the door the monster kicked it down and lodged his axe in her back. Her husband screamed in terror as this scene and tried to run for the rifle mounted on the wall.
He had little success as he felt two strong hand painfully gripping his shoulders as he was thrown against the wall with such force that he felt some of his bones crack, in between the hits he could see his wife with an axe in her back, she tried to move in vain, to escape that monster.
“Guess you’re much weaker than that piece of shit you call a son !” you screamed at him, he looked confused for a second before you opened the mouth of the suit, “fear not, you’ll join him soon” with that you crushed his head using the sheer pressure of the mouth and it’s system.
It showered you in blood inside the suit and you cringed at this but you wanted to try it, you turned your focus on his wife who was somehow still alive, she weakly begged for help before you harshly removed the axe from her back and violently shoved it again and again on her head and back.
When you stopped you looked at the room and it was a massacre, both of them looked like piles of meat while Gary was probably in a better shape, Jane was always more meticulous than you.
You came down to see her open another door and search around in panic, “someone is gone !” she tells you in anger, “we missed someone ! The window’s open and- there he is !” She pointed to the street.
You hurriedly look at the window to see a small boy run away from the house in total panic, “I'll get him ! You get rid of the truck and go home on foot okay ? I’ll deal with him” you told her and she nodded.
“Happy hunting” She winked at you and you left with a chuckle.
The boy was running for dear life, he heard his brother scream earlier and a monster walked past his room then he heard some noise in his parent’s room. He dared to run after a few minutes but the monster and a pale woman saw him.
Your footsteps were deliberately heavy, you wanted to startle him while chasing him, he was faster than you since you were wearing the suit but it didn’t matter, he would die tonight.
The poor boy didn’t know where to go as he ran down the street, his heart pounding in his hear as he heard the monster follow somewhere behind him, he spotted a building not too far away and decided to enter. Maybe he could hide until the monster leave ?
On your end you were laughing, that kid didn’t have much time left and it spurned you on, almost enjoying this twisted hunt and excited for the moment when you’ll catch him.
The boy climbed in an open window and searched for a place to hide, this was an office building which offered plenty of cover and hiding spot, opening another door he stumbled inside a room with a desk and some closet, he closed the door behind him and hid in a random closet.
He was as quiet as a mouse but flinched when he heard a door being kicked and a cheery, haunting voice calling to him.
“I’m the fun one kid, come out and play ! I have so many fun games to do but I need a partner.” It was too cheery and it took everything in him to not cry, the event of the night catching up to him. He had to put his hand on his mouth to cover his sobs and whines of fear.
He heard the monster roam for a while, opening a door and sometime hearing a crash or something being thrown.
You kicked down the door to yet another office and angrily opened the cabinet, you readied your axe and- nothing, he wasn’t there. You angrily smashed your weapon on a desk and wondered where he could be, you missed the restroom and a cleaning room, he must be in one of them.
Checking the restroom yielded the same result and you sighed in frustration, if he wasn’t in that last room you were pretty sure that Jane would skin you alive for letting him escape. Your heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer to the boy’s hiding spot and he was terrified.
The door to the room opened and for a terrifying second, everything was quiet as he desperately tried to keep quiet but a sob left his mouth, it was all that you needed to find him. To his horror a yellow hand opened the closet and the monster looked at him, his grin too wide and his eyes glowed with malice.
The kid huddled closer to the corner and asked weakly “where are my parents” he looked down and didn’t dare meet your eyes. “Not far don’t worry, you’ll meet them soon enough” the monster said as he placed his hand on his shoulder, his grip was far from friendly.
Before the boy could react he was thrown out of the closet, he tried to get up but the foot of your suit pinned him in place, almost crushing his ribs.
“Sorry kid, wrong place and wrong family. Tell Gary that none of this would’ve happened if he didn’t burn Jane’s home and her family.” You swung your axe in a pendulum arc and decapitated him swiftly, his head rolling away from the body and leaving a blood trail behind it.
You stood still in the room for a moment, the events of the night catching up to you. It was exhilarating and you almost wanted to do it all again, seeing the light leave theirs eyes as you brutally kill them all.
With one last glance to the body, you leave the building. Walking back to your house after getting rid of the suit took long enough, you just wanted to sleep, unaware of the looming chaos…
Mortuus est monstrum. Surrexit aliud.
You should’ve known, Jane should’ve known but now the GCPD was focused on you because you didn’t know there were cameras in that building and didn’t even consider it. They didn’t see your face but the suit was a dead giveaway, they were only found in one place in the entire town : your father’s pizzeria.
For a while you managed to direct their attention elsewhere but you knew they got you, few had access to the maintenance room and even fewer knew how to use the suits without harming themselves and it left few suspects, among them you, your father and a handful of employees.
Jane felt terrible during this period, they questioned her since it was suspicious that the family suspected of burning down her home was dead even a year after the incident but she held strong, she played the card of the victim still recovering from the fire and it worked, medical employees agreed that even if she drove there, killing an entire family would be impossible for her so she was left out of the suspect pool.
She didn’t regret killing them but she regretted seeing you take the blame for it but you assured her it was better this way, her tears broke your heart and you knew you didn’t have long left. The media was going crazy over the case, going so far as to even give you a name “The Attraction”.
It happened sooner than you would’ve liked, the pizzeria was empty and you took this opportunity to work on the suit but you didn’t expect a team of cop to show up at the pizzeria, it was time for a fight and you wouldn’t go down easily.
You locked the fire escape and turned down the camera in the building, no need to add more charges to your already impressive case file.
You wore the suit and stood still in the maintenance room, hoping that one of them would enter and you could kill him there.
The three cops entered already nervous and shouted “Reader ! We are from the GCPD and in possession of a warrant for your arrest on the killings of the [NAME] family ! Come out with your hands up and slowly !”. Of course you weren’t there, it would’ve been too easy.
“Alright then we search the entire building, Fred you take this corridor and Jim you take the other one, I’ll go this way.”. Rookie mistake, they separated and Jeremy as he was called searched the dining room but nothing, his attention soon turned to the maintenance room, he felt nervous in this building, something wasn’t right.
He drew his gun and slowly walked to the maintenance door, he opens it and it’s full of various animatronics, he walked past a yellow rabbit suit and inspected some of the suits lining the walls. The door locked from behind him and he turned around only to see you standing there.
“Sta- Stay back ! Hands where I can see them !” He tried to reach for his firearm but he was trembling too much, this was all you needed to shove your axe in his head, splitting it in half and killing him instantly.
One down, you left the maintenance room and left in search of Fred, it led you to the arcade room. Sneaking in such a suit was difficult but you had experience, you entered the room but he suddenly tackled you from behind.
“I GOT HIM ! JIM, COME HELP ME.” he shouted, there goes the element of surprise. You got up and slapped him away from you, the weight of the suit and the slap to the face disoriented him and by when he recovered he tried to shoot you only for you to slam into him with full force.
You had to act quickly, you kicked his legs hoping to break them. He screamed in pain as you broke his wrist, grinning you readied your axe and slammed it in his abdomen just as the door of the arcade opened.
Jim Gordon thought he was ready for anything, it comes with youth some would say. But this ? This was new, you weren’t a normal criminal and he figured as such when he saw you standing over Fred’s body, he ran as soon as he heard him yell for help.
Police officer and killer stood face to face, you removed your axe and he cringed at the noise it made once pulled from his colleagues body. The grin of your suit unsettled him and it showed, he was trembling and he couldn’t keep a steady aim with his gun.
“It’s over now ! You are caught and cannot- cannot escape ! Remove this… suit you’re wearing and show me your hands !” Sweat ran down his forehead, you killed Jeremy and Fred, it was clear you wanted to fight and he couldn’t afford any mistakes.
“Scared, Gordon ? Who would’ve known it would end like this ? I honestly liked you, you’re a good cop but it’s a shame they sent you, I’ll enjoy it all the same however.” He didn’t know if your voice was somehow changed by the suit but it felt like sandpaper on his ears.
He nervously shifted and the room felt like it was closing in on him, “why ? Why did you kill this family, they were suspect and-”
“And you did nothing !” you pointed your axe at him in anger “I knew it was Gary and that his family paid the GCPD ! Corrupt pieces of shit they all were !”
Gordon retorted “and killing the entire family was necessary ? Slaughtering his parents and brutally executing his little brother was needed ? Your girlfriend was in pain and-”
Your eyes zeroed in on him with such anger “I did it for her, I killed them for her ! They died because they burned her and now… you are next Jim Gordon.”
He panicked when you tried to run at him with your axed raised and he didn't think twice, he shot you. The bullet staggered you as it hit your stomach, not a fatal wound but you still felt it.
You chuckled and raised your axe to throw it at him, “Nice shot Gordon, I’ll feel this one for a-” you stopped as a huge pain made itself know in your stomach. A loud SNAP was heard and you started screaming, the suit was folding back on you.
Every movement only worsened the pain, your belly was getting torn while your shoulder were pierced by the suit’s lock, the skin and muscle of your legs torn off as the parts dug into them to get back into position. Every organs unfortunate enough to be in the way was broken or torn up.
Gordon watched, horrified by the display and rooted to the spot but the macabre spectacle didn’t stop there. He watched as each movement you made only worsened your predicament and each scream more garbled and inhuman than the last.
With your legs torn apart you fell on the ground and the cavity of the suit pressed against your own chest, digging into your ribs and tearing the skin and bones as it went. Your back wasn’t luckier, your spine and hips were brutally skewered by the support of the suit as they folded inside you, forming a twisted spine.
Last came your arm and head, your arms were held in a death tight grip by the suit’s inner skeleton until it snapped your bones and violently dug into what remained of your arms while your head was partially turned to mush by the gears of the head allowing it to turn in various direction as they now lodged themselves in your cranium.
Throughout it all Gordon never made a move to help you, fear or relief at killing you ? You didn’t know but as the rest of your head was partially crushed you stared at him in your bloodshot eyes, was it desperation, anger or some twisted respect for getting killed by the cop who genuinely tried to help you and Jane in the beginning ?
It was an eternity for Gordon but the screams finally stopped, he left the room and was leaning against a wall, crying to himself. He was a failure, his colleagues died because of him and people died because he couldn’t recognize you as the threat you were when he first met you.
The next team of police officer found him crying against the wall, just pointing at the room when they asked him what happened and it didn’t take much for them to understand. It was a carnage, officer Fred stood dead with his chest open while you were on the ground with meat and blood leaking from your suit.
Gordon was escorted out while the medical staff did a quick autopsy on you, you were quickly pronounced dead as they determined the cause of your death : Spring-lock failure. A deadly phenomenon common to these types of suit.
Gordon’s shot to your stomach damaged the internal workings of the suit and caused a chain reaction further worsened by the excessive bleeding and panicked movement creating a deathtrap. Your remains were taken to the morgue for a more profound autopsy on what remained of you.
The news blew up when they learned of what happened, your father was interviewed and he claimed he didn’t know what you were planning, he never thought of you as a killer ! How could his own son do something like this ? His sadness at loosing you was clear as day.
Pictures of the aftermath where showed on television and journals alike, “The Attraction dead, it’s reign of terror finally over after a brutal fight at Freddy’s dinner and pizzeria. Officer Jim Gordon lauded as a hero for stopping the Attraction.”
Jane was swarmed by police officers and journalists, pressing and asking questions she frankly didn’t want to answer, you were dead and they were making a spectacle of your death. Just like your father she claimed she didn’t know you were a killer. She depicted you as a caring boyfriend, not the unhinged monster they claimed you were.
Jane screamed and cried when she first saw the news, hurling anything in her reach toward the nearest wall. Her uncle couldn’t stop her and her friends couldn’t cheer her up nor extinguish the burning hatred growing in her heart.
How dare they kill you ? Making a show of who you were and tarnishing your memories ? This wouldn’t stand and killing Gordon was the next step, he killed you and he was going to suffer for it.
It came as a surprise to her but your father decided to leave Gotham, the pizzeria would be closed and he couldn’t bear to stay in the city that took his son.
“Be strong for him Jane, he loved you dearly and I see why. He planned to marry you, you know ? He was panicking about it but the two of you could’ve spent the rest of your days together” he told her with a solemn face, he looked at her one last time and waved at her as he left in his car.
She watched him leave and cried, now she was truly alone. Her uncle couldn’t help her and she wanted blood, Gordon’s blood.
She could’ve done anything else, poisoning him, shooting him in public or even slicing his throat in his sleep but burning down his home felt poetic. She lost everything in a fire and now she was willing to die in a literal blaze of glory to find you again.
She left in secret one night as her uncle kept a tight watch on her since your death, not trusting her to leave due to her mental state. One jerrycan of fuel in one hand and a kitchen knife in another she set off for Gordon’s home.
The walk there had an air of finality for Jane, she knew this was the end of the road and savored everything on the way there. The cool air caressing her burnt skin, the moonlight reminding her of her own pale skin and finally the mask you made her. She wore it ever since, hating her skin once again and wanting to honor your memory by wearing it.
Once there she lock-picked the door and started to pour the fuel everywhere, her face was grim as she did so but strangely enough she was excited. Who said that vengeance was a dish served cold ?
Done with the ground floor she walked to the first floor and poured as much fuel as she could although she didn’t account on Gordon being woken up by the smell. “Who are you ? Hands in the air !” he demanded as he pointed his gun at her.
“Lucky I smelled this fuel you are pouring, I will repeat it again, who are you ?” he demanded again and Jane could see him trembling, maybe he had a nightmare or is scared to find someone in is home ? It doesn’t matter.
Her voice was the most melodious sound he ever heard, as if an angel was speaking to him. “I have no name, officer. Only a purpose and it is to punish you, to get revenge” Gordon was confused, revenge ? It took him a second to recognize her even with her mask but her voice was unmistakable.
“Miss Jane ?” he asked in disbelief, her masked face staring at him intently “Are you here for him ? He was dangerous !” he couldn’t see her face but her posture shifted, she was angry.
“I LOVED HIM AND YOU TOOK HIM AWAY FROM ME ! HE MEANT THE WORLD TO ME AND YOU GUNNED HIM DOWN AND WATCHED HIM DIE LIKE A DOG !” Jane screamed and she had trouble calming herself down.
Gordon couldn’t help but feel pity, he could’ve done something, anything but he chose to watch. “Miss Jane i-” he was distracted and she took the opportunity. She kicked the gun away from his hand and it landed on the ground floor, Gordon could barely react before another kick landed on his cheek and was thrown down the stairs.
“I will not give you any mercy, I’ll kill you Jim Gordon ! I’ll gut you like the pig you are !” she screamed at him while unleashing a flurry of punch on his body, Gordon had the advantage of endurance but he needed to act fast, they were both covered in fuel and it didn’t take a genius to guess what she was going to do with all of this.
He kicked her away and landed a nasty right hook to her jaw, slightly breaking her mask in the process, she looked shocked for a second before she recovered and twisted his hand when the next hook came.
He groaned but grabbed her arm to bring her towards him and used the momentum to knee her in the stomach, as she curled up from the blow he slammed both of his hand upon her spine, sending her crashing to the ground.
She rolled away from him and got up, visibly hurt by this combo, Gordon was making progress but Jane was clearly a trained fighter. She ran at him and send a kick to his shoulder, briefly disorienting him and she used his brief confusion to use her knife and slash his ribs.
He winced and now he was outmatched, he looked behind her and saw the gun near the couch, a plan formed in his mind and he ran at her to tackle her, it worked and before she could use her knife he kept a strong grip on her hand and punch her throat, forcing her to let go of her weapon.
He ran to the gun and quickly pointed it at her, she was on her knees and struggling to breath after the hit, she made no further move to get up. “I do not regret anything Jim Gordon, the [NAME] family took everything from me ! We both got revenge and I would kill them again if I had to.”
Gordon was confused, they did it together ? This explained why Gary’s wound were so different from the rest of family, they thought it was a quiet kill until Reader was spotted, forcing him to brutally execute them.
“You… you did it ? Both of you ? I don’t know what path in life forced you to become what you both became but if you turn yourself-” he was interrupted by her laugh.
“I want to die ! I don’t want to stay in this shitty world if he’s not by my side ! We were both the same, killers and we loved it ! This is our life, him and I, and you took him from me” she collapsed to the ground crying and laughing at the same time. A far cry from the composed and serious woman she usually is.
Gordon felt pity, he shouldn’t but he did anyway. “I am sorry, truly but it had to be done, he was dangerous and-”
“I don’t want to hear it, you are no better. You just have a badge to justify it while we are called insane and dangerous. It won’t matter soon.”
She removed her mask and he saw her burnt face, she was still beautiful despite the atrocities she went through. He saw her reach into her pocket and he reacted just in time. He shot her in the shoulder and she collapsed on the ground, not dead but she would need help.
“You need help ! You are just as insane as him !” He kept his gun on her and reached for the phone, he tried to call the GCPD but he gave her just enough time to reach the lighter. With a smile she started a flame and she laughed at the horrified look on his face.
“Die with me Gordon, there is a spot in hell for the three of us !” with that the lighter hit the ground and he barely had the time to jump through a window, even as she burned Jane was smiling, the flame engulfed her and Gordon didn’t know if what he was hearing were screams or laughter.
She smiled as she would be reunited with you and her family. She smiled as even if she failed to kill Gordon she knew this cursed city would eventually, and when that day come ? You and her would be waiting for him in Hell. With one last breath she died and headed for her final destination, the flame providing ample warmth for her soul to pass on.
Outside Gordon sighed, this case was finally over and closed. This was probably the worst case he had to deal with so far but even now, he still felt pity for her. Just another victim of Gotham’s cruelty, someone dealt a bad hand in life.
Speaking of bad hand and Gotham’s cruelty, he needed to look for a new home.
Death is not the end, far from it. For some it’s the beginning and the show must go on in Gotham. The dead still haunt the living from beyond the grave and these two dead will leave their mark on Gotham forever.

Jane's appearance
Attraction's suit appearance
The birth of Evil
Quiet beginnings :
Some say that evil isn’t birthed but made, there is always an exception to the rule and it was you.
Your father always knew you would be like him, special but misunderstood. He could see it in your eyes, that glint, always in need of violence and not a simple fight but blood, suffering and death.
It started with some insects you found in the garden, a cricket ? You removed a leg and looked with wide eyes as it frantically tried to escape, the panicked movement of it’s legs were hypnotizing. Then came the ants, so many possibilities ! Crushing them, microwaving a few or feeding some to a spider.
It’s almost like you could taste it, the impending doom. The final moments of life and it was intoxicating.
Death was fascinating to you, people feared it but you always loved the morbid, what did people felt during their last moments ? What does death feel like ? You would give so much to see the life leaving their eyes, hearing their last heartbeat or their final breath.
You soon discovered that prolonging the suffering was another source of anguish, instead of ending it quickly, why not torture these poor insects more ? You were flooding ants hill, burning a moth’s wings and tore legs from centipedes and you could only wonder how the pain felt like, such monstrous curiosity !
Your father noticed and he couldn’t be more proud of you, you were an Afton ! More than that, you were both alike, cruel and merciless but he always told you it was normal.
It truly started during middle school, you brought a bird you captured and showed your classmates the funny noise it made when you snapped some of it’s bones.
They didn’t understand, how silly of them. “you are hurting it !” they said, “it’s cruel !” they exclaimed.
You showed them how to play the game.
You broke the boy’s arm and he screamed, such a beautiful noise. You snapped the girl’s wrist and she cried out in pain, music to your ears. Only one of them understood, a pale girl calling herself Jane and you were glad to finally have a normal friend.
The teachers came running only to find you and Jane peacefully talking while two children were on the ground crying, safe to say you were almost expelled but your father was quite charismatic, he assured them that you were only defending yourself after these mean children dared to hurt your bird, and it was true ! Even Jane defended you and you were eternally thankful for that.
Your father was happy about this development, even at such a young age you already fought someone and won. In public he scolded you harshly but at home ? He hugged you and told you how great you did.
“Reader, you will be even better than me one day, you will show them what it means to be an Afton and I cannot ask for anything better from my son.” he told you warmly as he showed you the workshop he was spending most of his time in.
It was full of blueprint and metallic suits resembling animals. You were to young to understand most of it but you liked the yellow rabbit suit, you excitedly jumped around asking him to have it. “Grow a bit son, and I’ll gladly give it to you.” He smiled as you looked at the suit.
Other children at school were terrified of you and Jane, she told you that it was because of the two children you brutalized earlier in the year but you didn’t care, you had a friend and it was all that mattered.
She introduced you to her family and they were wary of you, much to her chagrin as her parents always pressed her to find a friend, although you did hear some joke that she finally found a boyfriend.
“Boyfriend, what is that ?” you asked confused, you were a boy and her friend so why was she blushing ?
“it’s nothing” she tried to play it off but she was obviously embarrassed, luckily for her you didn’t understand that word yet.
The darkness grows :
Middle school went without much incident as your father insisted on you not getting into trouble, he wouldn’t always be there to get you out of trouble and you needed to lay a low profile. “I know son, you want violence, you crave it but for now. Stay quiet and calm alright ?”
High school was a playground for you, your father taught you to control yourself more and Jane was with you in class, you two often fought during sport class and you both loved it. She was fast and moved with such class, it was hypnotizing, like watching a ballet dancer.
You still got into some trouble but it was easier to get away with it, just teenagers messing with each other right ? How wrong they were, the school staff never knew. How could they ?
It started with another guy, he was getting close with Jane and you didn’t understand that feeling in your chest, a weight on your heart while your feelings were confused. Why were you feeling like this ? They were just talking but you didn’t like that so you got rid of him.
It was pathetically easy, he ran fast but you were faster. You had to do it quickly since you were supposed to be at Jane’s house for a sleepover and she was covering for your absence, she didn’t like him either and unfortunately for him, You both had the same idea: killing him.
the poor boy never got a chance to scream, you covered his mouth and slowly sank the blade in his chest. The haunted look in his eyes was intoxicating. It was an exhilarating experience, one that you wanted to try again.
The walk back to her home was quiet but unique, you had just killed someone. You climbed back to her room and changed into some pajamas instead of the clothes you used during the chase and Jane simply asked “how was it ?”.
She knew how the first time felt when killing someone and she was eager to know how you felt. “I can’t say, excited, scared and asking for more I would say” you replied as you sat on the bed, she could practically feel the excitement rolling off of you in waves.
She smiled as she looked at her nails, “I figured you would be, it was similar for me.” you smiled at her “you always know what to say, who was your first victim ?” you asked her with interest, this was the first time you truly spoke openly about killing.
“A girl who made fun of me during the summer, I did it the night before we left the camping. Poor girl fought and thrashed but I managed to cut into her guts, she was bleeding too much and begged for me to call someone, I waited until she died and even when she was looking at me in her final moments I did nothing to help her. Seeing the light leave her eyes was something words cannot describe.”
Jane explained it to you while reading a book and it was the moment you two realized something. you weren’t just the same, you were meant for each other. It wouldn’t be long until you would both act on these feelings.
The two of you didn’t know it yet but killing this boy would set a terrible chain of events written in blood and vengeance. Events whose consequences will forever haunt Gotham.
Then came the prom, you were nervous and you didn’t know how to ask Jane out. Your father was an absolute tease about it but he gave you some solid advice (and an outfit that rocked, thanks dad) on how to resolve the situation. Listening to him and your heart you asked her and she jumped in your arm, it was rare for her to be this expressive but she kissed you and told you that she’d be more than happy to accompany you to the prom.
The day of the prom was magical for the both of you, you couldn’t believe your eyes when you saw her in her dress, a beautiful black dress with silver lines all over it while her hair was a flowing river of black strands. She wasn’t one for jewelry but she wore a magnificent golden necklace that compliment her dark dress.
It felt like the rest of the room didn’t matter when you saw her enter the Prom, you made your way toward her and you suddenly felt nervous with your purple costume but she found it to be exquisite on you. You didn’t know what to do or say until a stupid idea came to mind.
“Want to dance ? Jonah is the DJ and I know he has some good tunes to play.” it sounded better in your head but to hell with caution, now was the time to spend some quality time with her and show the school was the two of you were made of !
She took your hand and you headed toward the dance floor, it started with a few energetic song and the two of you were killing it ! The synergy was perfect between you two, laughing and dancing like there was no tomorrow.
You were having fun until Jonah decided to play something slower and romantic, you sheepishly told Jane you didn’t know how to dance on these type of songs and she gave you a small smile.
“Don’t worry and follow my lead.” you tried and you stepped on her feet a few time with her joking that you wanted to kill her shoes, you joked back and told her that dancing like you were was punishment enough.
Quickly enough you two were leading the dance, you saw some jealous glances from other students you snickered and Jane followed your gaze. “let them watch, it’s the two of us today” she told you quietly and she was right, it felt like all the light were on you and the room didn’t exist.
It was honestly a magical dance for the two of you, you were lost in her eyes, her beautiful black orbs. You could look at her eyes for hours and in that single instant no one else mattered in the world as you finished the dance with a spin.
People clapped and you decided to take the lead, you looked at Jane and… the two of you kissed there. It was honestly special, you never knew such a simple action was so good, so meaningful. People didn’t believe it, the outcast with Jane ? The mysterious Jane chose the creepy kid ?
You wanted to shut them up the hard way but Jane stilled your hand, “ignore them, let them be jealous and let’s grab something to drink” she told you as she gave a glare to some of the boys.
The Prom ended on a good note, a few more dance with friends and some drink that teenagers definitely shouldn’t drink. You decided to walk back home with her and you stopped at a park, she held your hand the whole time and you just took the time to talk about anything and everything.
It was refreshing to be honest, in that moment you both got to be who you truly were. “I had fun today, you were mesmerizing.” you told her, sitting on a bench and tilting your head on her shoulder.
She tilted back, her hair tickling your skin “I had fun too, who knew you were such a good dancer ? You should dance with my uncle, he loves disco and rock.”
“sounds like fun, count me in” you squeezed her hand and looked at the night sky, all the stars were looking down on you two. “I love you Jane, from the day we met.”
she squeezed back and answered in a soft and melodious voice “I do too, I never want to live without you now.” you put an arm around her “I don’t plan on leaving, not now, not ever”.
A soul for a soul :
It started shortly before the end of summer and Jane’s departure for college, you would work with your father at his pizzeria while she would leave for college so as a gift before she left you gifted her a guitar, your guitar.
She smiled and promised to treasure it, you offered to teach her whenever she got time and she jumped in your arm, “do you plan to embarrass me like I embarrassed you at the Prom ?” she teased you, a malicious grin plastered on her face.
“Keep laughing Jane but I know something I excel at and you don’t”. Your smirk should’ve been a red flag but she made the fatal mistake of indulging her curiosity.
“ho ? Pray tell what are you an expert of ?” she never saw it coming, you ruffled her hair and ruined her haircut, a look of horror and anger on her face while yours was all smile and smugness.
“Pranking you ! Bye Jane ! I have something urgent to do !” you ran off before she flew in a terrible rage, yelling all sort of terrible curses on your name while her family laughed and teased the poor girl.
The last few weeks before she left were peaceful, your father taught you how to repair the suits, wear them and even entertain the customer with your guitar, you were quite popular in that bunny suit ! This job wasn’t the best but you had enough free time to not think about the boredom too much.
That peace was merely the calm before the storm, the terrible harsh storm that threw both of your lives upside down.
It happened the weekend before she was supposed to leave, her house was broken into and someone poured gasoline inside the house then lit it on fire, the firefighters present that day have no idea how she survived but if the broken leg was any indication she jumped from her room even as she was burning, the fall broke her legs and they arrived just in time to extinguish her.
The GCPD was quick to dispatch a unit on the site to start an investigation, among them was a cop named Jim Gordon. He didn’t know it yet but this case would haunt him for the rest of his days. Meanwhile you learned of it in the morning on the radio and you didn’t believe it, you must’ve heard wrong.
You skipped work much to your father’s confusion and you were greeted with a crime scene and a team of cops surrounding the place but worst of all were the bodies, was Jane one of them ?
Gordon looked at the crime scene for what felt hours until he saw you arrive, panicking and visibly shaken by the bodies around or maybe you hoped someone wasn’t among these victims ? He approached you and lead you away from the house.
“Kid, I… are you from the family or do you know them ?” he asked as gently as he could but you quickly answered.
“No I… I’m… look I’m the boyfriend of a girl who lives here, Jane is her name. Is she here ? Or maybe she’s safe and- I can’t lose her now !” he could tell you where scared but he did have one good news for you.
“She is safe, a tall girl with pale skin and black hair ? She was taken to the hospital not too long ago, someone can take you there.” You felt immense relief at this, you thanked him and left with another officer.
The ride to the hospital was the longest and most atrocious ride of your life, how did this happen ? WHO did this and why ? You didn’t know but they would pay, you swore as your sadness turned to anger.
Walking to her room was even worse, what were you going to see ? You tried to hope for the best, maybe she escaped the fire in time ? Maybe her injuries weren’t too bad ? You soon realized it was foolish when you entered her room and saw Jane with an older man inside, it was her uncle but the most glaring issue was the state Jane was in.
Her skin was burned a lot, her hair suffered the same treatment and she was a shell of herself as she was quietly sobbing into her hands and couldn’t meet anyone’s face, much less your own.
“no…” she muttered when you entered, “don’t look at me please…”. She tried to hide herself more but whined because of the pain.
You rushed to her side, barely acknowledging her uncle who gave you two some space. “Jane… I… how are you feeling ?” you took her hands in your and they were oddly warm despite the cracked skin she now possessed.
You both held each other for a while until she whispered in your ears, her voice no longer as charming and confident like it once was but a fragile and scared whimper “Who do you think did it ?”
You thought hard about her question but didn’t really have an answer, you don’t remember offending someone this much. The only thing you remembered was an investigation about someone killed a few month ago, nothing was found but the family swore revenge.
“Jane, do you remember that investigation that was on the news maybe 6 or 7 month ago ? People looking after a murderer or looking for revenge ?” you saw her face then, burned and cracked but angry, the type of anger that you still feel to this day.
“yes…” she trembled in pain, “I believe so, I don’t remember the figure in the house clearly but I saw them when jumping from the window. Someone did it on purpose”
A bit after that a police officer came in to ask her some question, one of them was if she saw the assailant or could point out anything about them.
“It was a tall figure, I didn’t see much after jumping and burning but I am sure it was a very dark hair, black or dark brown. They were also tall and broad, someone who is doing a lot of training at the gym I would say”
“Miss Jane, you have a… reputation around town, many students wanted to be with you during school. Did one of them try to flirt with you or didn’t take a rejection kindly ?”
You both knew, you killed a guy during a sleepover and now his family burned Jane’s house and family as revenge. You both knew, they wanted her dead.
“Gary…” you started “it’s fucking Gary ! Jealous asshole that he is ! I remember someone from his family hitting on her a while back, must be a brother or cousin. He was killed soon after if I recall” you were lying, you recalled it very well. After all it was you who killed him.
The cop noted everything “Are you accusing him of the fire ?” he asked.
“I… I don’t know but his haircut, hair color and hell even his stature matches what Jane said.” you deflected, you couldn’t attract attention too much now that the murder was on the table.
After a few more questions he left and you soon had to leave as well, work was worse then it has ever been. You had to deal with customers complaining about the show and had to work more in the bunny suit. Not that you complained but summer wasn’t a good time to wear a suit made of metal.
During your next few visits you also noticed how down Jane was, you took some metal scrap from the workshop and made her a mask resembling her old face, it was an ivory white with eyes as black and deep as obsidian.
You gave it to her and she was visibly surprised “You did this… for me ? I don’t know what to say.”
“Say nothing, I want to see you smile despite everything that happened, to see the Jane I know come back. It will take time to heal but I will be there with you.” She started tearing up and decided to put it on, she finally felt like herself once again.
She touched the mask and it felt like a second face to her, she hugged you despite the pain and thanked you, she couldn’t stop the teasing comment however “you give me back my face but I still lost your guitar in that fire”
you chuckled, it was a good sign that she managed to make jokes even now. “I'll never forgive you for the loss of my beloved guitar, how am I going to live without it ?” you dramatically fell on the ground after that much to her amusement.
Bloody retribution :
A year came by and Jane finally healed, although her skin would never truly recover and she would carry the pain from the fire forever, she was finally outside the hospital and lived with her uncle for now. You were still saddened to see her flinch from time to time.
Both of you wanted answer from the GCPD, did they know you killed that boy ? Was the family behind bars or in the process to be put there ?
You both raged when they told you that the trail had gone cold, with no cameras to support the evidence and a meager description wasn’t enough. In short they got off Scott-free but it wouldn’t stand, you both refused to let it be.
You both wanted blood, you both wanted to make them pay.
The plan was simple : go to their house, make them suffer, kill them and dispose of any evidence.
Jane would wait at your house while you secured a vehicle to go there along with tools necessary to break in the house if needed. On the day of the murder your father was proud of you, “show them who the Afton are, son and make them pay”.
You were determined and told him you’d do it, you prepared your bunnie suit and put it in the truck you stole from someone after killing them. Afterward you drove to your house and picked Jane up.
On the way she asked why you wanted to take the suit and you told her “I feel like myself when I put it on, almost as if I’m meant to wear it, I can’t explain it well but I just want to use it.” she nodded quietly, the ride was silent but full of anticipation and revenge.
Once there, you observed the house and everything was quiet. The truck stopped and you put on the suit, Jane had to admit it suited you, no pun intended. You felt like you could take on the world and with an axe in hand ? This family didn’t stand a chance.
“I want Gary, you do what you want with the rest but they all need to die, is this clear ?” she asked you, determination and anger radiated from her in waves.
“Loud and clear, I’ll get the parent while you get the big guy, you can do this despite the pain ?” you asked with a flicker of concern, she was technically still in recovery but she assured you she could do it.
With that she lock-picked the door and you quietly made your way inside despite wearing a cumbersome suit. The stairs creaked under your weight and she cursed you out for making too much noises which was followed by you giving her the middle finger.
You went deeper in the corridor, the darkness clinging to you like a shroud. Meanwhile Jane checked a room and found her target, unfortunately he woke up due to the creaking and threw himself at her thus starting the fight.
While she could handle herself with her knowledge on fighting she was still outmatched by Gary’s raw strength and a punch to her ribs sent her flying backward, she let him approach and sank her knife in his stomach.
Impossibly, he powered through the pain and threw her down the stairs, she feigned being taken down and waited for the occasion. It came when he grabbed her to turn her around and she drove her knife into his leg.
He screamed and she kicked the knife in his leg, driving it even deeper before she started choking him, despite all the hits she was still taking, the pain all over her body and Gary trying to free himself she told him “you almost got me and now you pay the price”.
With Gary dead it left his parents and anyone unfortunate enough to be in this house, you checked a few room but found nothing until you heard a door open “Gary is that you ? Why are you making so much noise ? Are you okay ?” a gentle voice asked.
It was his mother, she woke up because of the scream and decided to check it out, not wanting to wake up her husband she picked up a flashlight and then she saw it.
A monster, a rabbit towering over her armed with an axe, it’s mouth bloodied and glowing cold eyes instantly locked on her, it’s voice was the sounds of tombstone grinding together.
“I’m the fun one ! Come here and play !” It bellowed and ran at her, she screamed but before she could close the door the monster kicked it down and lodged his axe in her back. Her husband screamed in terror as this scene and tried to run for the rifle mounted on the wall.
He had little success as he felt two strong hand painfully gripping his shoulders as he was thrown against the wall with such force that he felt some of his bones crack, in between the hits he could see his wife with an axe in her back, she tried to move in vain, to escape that monster.
“Guess you’re much weaker than that piece of shit you call a son !” you screamed at him, he looked confused for a second before you opened the mouth of the suit, “fear not, you’ll join him soon” with that you crushed his head using the sheer pressure of the mouth and it’s system.
It showered you in blood inside the suit and you cringed at this but you wanted to try it, you turned your focus on his wife who was somehow still alive, she weakly begged for help before you harshly removed the axe from her back and violently shoved it again and again on her head and back.
When you stopped you looked at the room and it was a massacre, both of them looked like piles of meat while Gary was probably in a better shape, Jane was always more meticulous than you.
You came down to see her open another door and search around in panic, “someone is gone !” she tells you in anger, “we missed someone ! The window’s open and- there he is !” She pointed to the street.
You hurriedly look at the window to see a small boy run away from the house in total panic, “I'll get him ! You get rid of the truck and go home on foot okay ? I’ll deal with him” you told her and she nodded.
“Happy hunting” She winked at you and you left with a chuckle.
The boy was running for dear life, he heard his brother scream earlier and a monster walked past his room then he heard some noise in his parent’s room. He dared to run after a few minutes but the monster and a pale woman saw him.
Your footsteps were deliberately heavy, you wanted to startle him while chasing him, he was faster than you since you were wearing the suit but it didn’t matter, he would die tonight.
The poor boy didn’t know where to go as he ran down the street, his heart pounding in his hear as he heard the monster follow somewhere behind him, he spotted a building not too far away and decided to enter. Maybe he could hide until the monster leave ?
On your end you were laughing, that kid didn’t have much time left and it spurned you on, almost enjoying this twisted hunt and excited for the moment when you’ll catch him.
The boy climbed in an open window and searched for a place to hide, this was an office building which offered plenty of cover and hiding spot, opening another door he stumbled inside a room with a desk and some closet, he closed the door behind him and hid in a random closet.
He was as quiet as a mouse but flinched when he heard a door being kicked and a cheery, haunting voice calling to him.
“I’m the fun one kid, come out and play ! I have so many fun games to do but I need a partner.” It was too cheery and it took everything in him to not cry, the event of the night catching up to him. He had to put his hand on his mouth to cover his sobs and whines of fear.
He heard the monster roam for a while, opening a door and sometime hearing a crash or something being thrown.
You kicked down the door to yet another office and angrily opened the cabinet, you readied your axe and- nothing, he wasn’t there. You angrily smashed your weapon on a desk and wondered where he could be, you missed the restroom and a cleaning room, he must be in one of them.
Checking the restroom yielded the same result and you sighed in frustration, if he wasn’t in that last room you were pretty sure that Jane would skin you alive for letting him escape. Your heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer to the boy’s hiding spot and he was terrified.
The door to the room opened and for a terrifying second, everything was quiet as he desperately tried to keep quiet but a sob left his mouth, it was all that you needed to find him. To his horror a yellow hand opened the closet and the monster looked at him, his grin too wide and his eyes glowed with malice.
The kid huddled closer to the corner and asked weakly “where are my parents” he looked down and didn’t dare meet your eyes. “Not far don’t worry, you’ll meet them soon enough” the monster said as he placed his hand on his shoulder, his grip was far from friendly.
Before the boy could react he was thrown out of the closet, he tried to get up but the foot of your suit pinned him in place, almost crushing his ribs.
“Sorry kid, wrong place and wrong family. Tell Gary that none of this would’ve happened if he didn’t burn Jane’s home and her family.” You swung your axe in a pendulum arc and decapitated him swiftly, his head rolling away from the body and leaving a blood trail behind it.
You stood still in the room for a moment, the events of the night catching up to you. It was exhilarating and you almost wanted to do it all again, seeing the light leave theirs eyes as you brutally kill them all.
With one last glance to the body, you leave the building. Walking back to your house after getting rid of the suit took long enough, you just wanted to sleep, unaware of the looming chaos…
Mortuus est monstrum. Surrexit aliud.
You should’ve known, Jane should’ve known but now the GCPD was focused on you because you didn’t know there were cameras in that building and didn’t even consider it. They didn’t see your face but the suit was a dead giveaway, they were only found in one place in the entire town : your father’s pizzeria.
For a while you managed to direct their attention elsewhere but you knew they got you, few had access to the maintenance room and even fewer knew how to use the suits without harming themselves and it left few suspects, among them you, your father and a handful of employees.
Jane felt terrible during this period, they questioned her since it was suspicious that the family suspected of burning down her home was dead even a year after the incident but she held strong, she played the card of the victim still recovering from the fire and it worked, medical employees agreed that even if she drove there, killing an entire family would be impossible for her so she was left out of the suspect pool.
She didn’t regret killing them but she regretted seeing you take the blame for it but you assured her it was better this way, her tears broke your heart and you knew you didn’t have long left. The media was going crazy over the case, going so far as to even give you a name “The Attraction”.
It happened sooner than you would’ve liked, the pizzeria was empty and you took this opportunity to work on the suit but you didn’t expect a team of cop to show up at the pizzeria, it was time for a fight and you wouldn’t go down easily.
You locked the fire escape and turned down the camera in the building, no need to add more charges to your already impressive case file.
You wore the suit and stood still in the maintenance room, hoping that one of them would enter and you could kill him there.
The three cops entered already nervous and shouted “Reader ! We are from the GCPD and in possession of a warrant for your arrest on the killings of the [NAME] family ! Come out with your hands up and slowly !”. Of course you weren’t there, it would’ve been too easy.
“Alright then we search the entire building, Fred you take this corridor and Jim you take the other one, I’ll go this way.”. Rookie mistake, they separated and Jeremy as he was called searched the dining room but nothing, his attention soon turned to the maintenance room, he felt nervous in this building, something wasn’t right.
He drew his gun and slowly walked to the maintenance door, he opens it and it’s full of various animatronics, he walked past a yellow rabbit suit and inspected some of the suits lining the walls. The door locked from behind him and he turned around only to see you standing there.
“Sta- Stay back ! Hands where I can see them !” He tried to reach for his firearm but he was trembling too much, this was all you needed to shove your axe in his head, splitting it in half and killing him instantly.
One down, you left the maintenance room and left in search of Fred, it led you to the arcade room. Sneaking in such a suit was difficult but you had experience, you entered the room but he suddenly tackled you from behind.
“I GOT HIM ! JIM, COME HELP ME.” he shouted, there goes the element of surprise. You got up and slapped him away from you, the weight of the suit and the slap to the face disoriented him and by when he recovered he tried to shoot you only for you to slam into him with full force.
You had to act quickly, you kicked his legs hoping to break them. He screamed in pain as you broke his wrist, grinning you readied your axe and slammed it in his abdomen just as the door of the arcade opened.
Jim Gordon thought he was ready for anything, it comes with youth some would say. But this ? This was new, you weren’t a normal criminal and he figured as such when he saw you standing over Fred’s body, he ran as soon as he heard him yell for help.
Police officer and killer stood face to face, you removed your axe and he cringed at the noise it made once pulled from his colleagues body. The grin of your suit unsettled him and it showed, he was trembling and he couldn’t keep a steady aim with his gun.
“It’s over now ! You are caught and cannot- cannot escape ! Remove this… suit you’re wearing and show me your hands !” Sweat ran down his forehead, you killed Jeremy and Fred, it was clear you wanted to fight and he couldn’t afford any mistakes.
“Scared, Gordon ? Who would’ve known it would end like this ? I honestly liked you, you’re a good cop but it’s a shame they sent you, I’ll enjoy it all the same however.” He didn’t know if your voice was somehow changed by the suit but it felt like sandpaper on his ears.
He nervously shifted and the room felt like it was closing in on him, “why ? Why did you kill this family, they were suspect and-”
“And you did nothing !” you pointed your axe at him in anger “I knew it was Gary and that his family paid the GCPD ! Corrupt pieces of shit they all were !”
Gordon retorted “and killing the entire family was necessary ? Slaughtering his parents and brutally executing his little brother was needed ? Your girlfriend was in pain and-”
Your eyes zeroed in on him with such anger “I did it for her, I killed them for her ! They died because they burned her and now… you are next Jim Gordon.”
He panicked when you tried to run at him with your axed raised and he didn't think twice, he shot you. The bullet staggered you as it hit your stomach, not a fatal wound but you still felt it.
You chuckled and raised your axe to throw it at him, “Nice shot Gordon, I’ll feel this one for a-” you stopped as a huge pain made itself know in your stomach. A loud SNAP was heard and you started screaming, the suit was folding back on you.
Every movement only worsened the pain, your belly was getting torn while your shoulder were pierced by the suit’s lock, the skin and muscle of your legs torn off as the parts dug into them to get back into position. Every organs unfortunate enough to be in the way was broken or torn up.
Gordon watched, horrified by the display and rooted to the spot but the macabre spectacle didn’t stop there. He watched as each movement you made only worsened your predicament and each scream more garbled and inhuman than the last.
With your legs torn apart you fell on the ground and the cavity of the suit pressed against your own chest, digging into your ribs and tearing the skin and bones as it went. Your back wasn’t luckier, your spine and hips were brutally skewered by the support of the suit as they folded inside you, forming a twisted spine.
Last came your arm and head, your arms were held in a death tight grip by the suit’s inner skeleton until it snapped your bones and violently dug into what remained of your arms while your head was partially turned to mush by the gears of the head allowing it to turn in various direction as they now lodged themselves in your cranium.
Throughout it all Gordon never made a move to help you, fear or relief at killing you ? You didn’t know but as the rest of your head was partially crushed you stared at him in your bloodshot eyes, was it desperation, anger or some twisted respect for getting killed by the cop who genuinely tried to help you and Jane in the beginning ?
It was an eternity for Gordon but the screams finally stopped, he left the room and was leaning against a wall, crying to himself. He was a failure, his colleagues died because of him and people died because he couldn’t recognize you as the threat you were when he first met you.
The next team of police officer found him crying against the wall, just pointing at the room when they asked him what happened and it didn’t take much for them to understand. It was a carnage, officer Fred stood dead with his chest open while you were on the ground with meat and blood leaking from your suit.
Gordon was escorted out while the medical staff did a quick autopsy on you, you were quickly pronounced dead as they determined the cause of your death : Spring-lock failure. A deadly phenomenon common to these types of suit.
Gordon’s shot to your stomach damaged the internal workings of the suit and caused a chain reaction further worsened by the excessive bleeding and panicked movement creating a deathtrap. Your remains were taken to the morgue for a more profound autopsy on what remained of you.
The news blew up when they learned of what happened, your father was interviewed and he claimed he didn’t know what you were planning, he never thought of you as a killer ! How could his own son do something like this ? His sadness at loosing you was clear as day.
Pictures of the aftermath where showed on television and journals alike, “The Attraction dead, it’s reign of terror finally over after a brutal fight at Freddy’s dinner and pizzeria. Officer Jim Gordon lauded as a hero for stopping the Attraction.”
Jane was swarmed by police officers and journalists, pressing and asking questions she frankly didn’t want to answer, you were dead and they were making a spectacle of your death. Just like your father she claimed she didn’t know you were a killer. She depicted you as a caring boyfriend, not the unhinged monster they claimed you were.
Jane screamed and cried when she first saw the news, hurling anything in her reach toward the nearest wall. Her uncle couldn’t stop her and her friends couldn’t cheer her up nor extinguish the burning hatred growing in her heart.
How dare they kill you ? Making a show of who you were and tarnishing your memories ? This wouldn’t stand and killing Gordon was the next step, he killed you and he was going to suffer for it.
It came as a surprise to her but your father decided to leave Gotham, the pizzeria would be closed and he couldn’t bear to stay in the city that took his son.
“Be strong for him Jane, he loved you dearly and I see why. He planned to marry you, you know ? He was panicking about it but the two of you could’ve spent the rest of your days together” he told her with a solemn face, he looked at her one last time and waved at her as he left in his car.
She watched him leave and cried, now she was truly alone. Her uncle couldn’t help her and she wanted blood, Gordon’s blood.
She could’ve done anything else, poisoning him, shooting him in public or even slicing his throat in his sleep but burning down his home felt poetic. She lost everything in a fire and now she was willing to die in a literal blaze of glory to find you again.
She left in secret one night as her uncle kept a tight watch on her since your death, not trusting her to leave due to her mental state. One jerrycan of fuel in one hand and a kitchen knife in another she set off for Gordon’s home.
The walk there had an air of finality for Jane, she knew this was the end of the road and savored everything on the way there. The cool air caressing her burnt skin, the moonlight reminding her of her own pale skin and finally the mask you made her. She wore it ever since, hating her skin once again and wanting to honor your memory by wearing it.
Once there she lock-picked the door and started to pour the fuel everywhere, her face was grim as she did so but strangely enough she was excited. Who said that vengeance was a dish served cold ?
Done with the ground floor she walked to the first floor and poured as much fuel as she could although she didn’t account on Gordon being woken up by the smell. “Who are you ? Hands in the air !” he demanded as he pointed his gun at her.
“Lucky I smelled this fuel you are pouring, I will repeat it again, who are you ?” he demanded again and Jane could see him trembling, maybe he had a nightmare or is scared to find someone in is home ? It doesn’t matter.
Her voice was the most melodious sound he ever heard, as if an angel was speaking to him. “I have no name, officer. Only a purpose and it is to punish you, to get revenge” Gordon was confused, revenge ? It took him a second to recognize her even with her mask but her voice was unmistakable.
“Miss Jane ?” he asked in disbelief, her masked face staring at him intently “Are you here for him ? He was dangerous !” he couldn’t see her face but her posture shifted, she was angry.
“I LOVED HIM AND YOU TOOK HIM AWAY FROM ME ! HE MEANT THE WORLD TO ME AND YOU GUNNED HIM DOWN AND WATCHED HIM DIE LIKE A DOG !” Jane screamed and she had trouble calming herself down.
Gordon couldn’t help but feel pity, he could’ve done something, anything but he chose to watch. “Miss Jane i-” he was distracted and she took the opportunity. She kicked the gun away from his hand and it landed on the ground floor, Gordon could barely react before another kick landed on his cheek and was thrown down the stairs.
“I will not give you any mercy, I’ll kill you Jim Gordon ! I’ll gut you like the pig you are !” she screamed at him while unleashing a flurry of punch on his body, Gordon had the advantage of endurance but he needed to act fast, they were both covered in fuel and it didn’t take a genius to guess what she was going to do with all of this.
He kicked her away and landed a nasty right hook to her jaw, slightly breaking her mask in the process, she looked shocked for a second before she recovered and twisted his hand when the next hook came.
He groaned but grabbed her arm to bring her towards him and used the momentum to knee her in the stomach, as she curled up from the blow he slammed both of his hand upon her spine, sending her crashing to the ground.
She rolled away from him and got up, visibly hurt by this combo, Gordon was making progress but Jane was clearly a trained fighter. She ran at him and send a kick to his shoulder, briefly disorienting him and she used his brief confusion to use her knife and slash his ribs.
He winced and now he was outmatched, he looked behind her and saw the gun near the couch, a plan formed in his mind and he ran at her to tackle her, it worked and before she could use her knife he kept a strong grip on her hand and punch her throat, forcing her to let go of her weapon.
He ran to the gun and quickly pointed it at her, she was on her knees and struggling to breath after the hit, she made no further move to get up. “I do not regret anything Jim Gordon, the [NAME] family took everything from me ! We both got revenge and I would kill them again if I had to.”
Gordon was confused, they did it together ? This explained why Gary’s wound were so different from the rest of family, they thought it was a quiet kill until Reader was spotted, forcing him to brutally execute them.
“You… you did it ? Both of you ? I don’t know what path in life forced you to become what you both became but if you turn yourself-” he was interrupted by her laugh.
“I want to die ! I don’t want to stay in this shitty world if he’s not by my side ! We were both the same, killers and we loved it ! This is our life, him and I, and you took him from me” she collapsed to the ground crying and laughing at the same time. A far cry from the composed and serious woman she usually is.
Gordon felt pity, he shouldn’t but he did anyway. “I am sorry, truly but it had to be done, he was dangerous and-”
“I don’t want to hear it, you are no better. You just have a badge to justify it while we are called insane and dangerous. It won’t matter soon.”
She removed her mask and he saw her burnt face, she was still beautiful despite the atrocities she went through. He saw her reach into her pocket and he reacted just in time. He shot her in the shoulder and she collapsed on the ground, not dead but she would need help.
“You need help ! You are just as insane as him !” He kept his gun on her and reached for the phone, he tried to call the GCPD but he gave her just enough time to reach the lighter. With a smile she started a flame and she laughed at the horrified look on his face.
“Die with me Gordon, there is a spot in hell for the three of us !” with that the lighter hit the ground and he barely had the time to jump through a window, even as she burned Jane was smiling, the flame engulfed her and Gordon didn’t know if what he was hearing were screams or laughter.
She smiled as she would be reunited with you and her family. She smiled as even if she failed to kill Gordon she knew this cursed city would eventually, and when that day come ? You and her would be waiting for him in Hell. With one last breath she died and headed for her final destination, the flame providing ample warmth for her soul to pass on.
Outside Gordon sighed, this case was finally over and closed. This was probably the worst case he had to deal with so far but even now, he still felt pity for her. Just another victim of Gotham’s cruelty, someone dealt a bad hand in life.
Speaking of bad hand and Gotham’s cruelty, he needed to look for a new home.
Death is not the end, far from it. For some it’s the beginning and the show must go on in Gotham. The dead still haunt the living from beyond the grave and these two dead will leave their mark on Gotham forever.

Had a fairly good life (translation: one of the least traumatized primarch)
This makes him the family therapist by default
Burden of being the good example is slowly crushing his soul

Tumblr media
Ignore the armor color. He was very different when I started planning him. And I lost the original art so changing it would be problematic. Buuuuut, at least he is handsome, ain't he? (took me literally days to draw ugh)

You prank the Primarchs (wholesome pranks). How do you prank them and what's their reaction? Part 2
@ghrgrsfdesfrfg
Vulkan
Vulkan, the Lord of Drakes, was known for his warmth and compassion, making him the perfect target for a lighthearted jest. In his forge on Nocturne you left a small, handcrafted 'miniature dragon' made of clay, except its 'flames' were actually streamers of bright, glittery ribbon that fluttered with the heat vents.
A note sat beside it: 'Even Salamanders need a little sparkle, Lord of Fire.'
When Vulkan discovered the creation, his booming laughter echoed through the forge. He held the tiny dragon up to the light, watching the glitter dance and grinned broadly.
“By the Emperor’s light, this is a treasure!” he exclaimed, placing it proudly on a shelf beside his finest works. He turned to his nearby Salamanders, still chuckling. “Whoever did this has the heart of a craftsman and the humor of a child. I approve!”
For weeks, he showed the 'Glitter Drake' to anyone who visited, retelling the story of its discovery with great joy.
You later found a tiny, forged pendant in the shape of a dragon on your workbench with a note: 'A spark for a spark. –V' It glittered just a little too much.
Ferrus Manus
Ferrus Manus stared at his hands in bewilderment. His iron fingers, those perfect instruments of war, had been... decorated. Tiny googly eyes bobbed on each fingertip and miniature mustaches had been carefully glued beneath them.
A note was taped to his palm: 'Even iron needs personality! –Your Friendly Neighborhood Flesh Advocate'
He flexed his fingers experimentally. Ten tiny faces stared back at him, mustaches wiggling with the movement.
"Ridiculous" he muttered. Then, after a pause: "Though the adhesive work is... impressively precise."
Magnus
His Iron Hands found him an hour later still in his forge carefully crafting tiny hats for his new finger-friends. When questioned he simply stated: "If they're going to have faces, they need proper protection."
Magnus opened his grimoire to continue transcribing forbidden knowledge but the ancient Prosperine text had been... edited. Aggressive red corrections covered every page:
'THEIR, not THERE!' 'You're thinking of 'eldritch,' not 'eldrich' — common mistake!'' This entire paragraph is a run on sentence. Please revise.' ' Citation needed.'
The final page bore a grade: 'C+ – Good ideas, poor execution. See me after class. P.S. – Your handwriting is lovely!'
Magnus stared, his psychic might rippling with... bewilderment. Someone had grammar checked the mysteries of the universe. The sheer audacity was almost... admirable?
"Fascinating" he murmured while examining the corrections. "Though I maintain that 'eldrich' is an acceptable variant..."
He spent the afternoon revising his work. When Ahriman found him Magnus was muttering about proper citation formats and the importance of thesis statements.

❗ Stubborn and thick-headed
❗ Rigid in his thinking
❗ Overprotective of his people
❗ Distrusting of strangers (trauma response)
❗ Religious/dogmatic tendencies
❗ Completely humorless (someone teach this man to laugh)
He's the brother who remembers everyone's birthday but analyzes the gift for 20 minutes before opening it
BACKSTORY
Found on Nesarlen, a planet in its death throes
The surviving population called him "Ghost" (Kallatahn)
He kept the name to honor his dying world
Found early by the Emperor (early enough to have high expectations)
The burden: He's literally the last living memory of an entire civilization
The guilt: Couldn't save his homeworld, now carries their legacy alone
Current goals&Burdens
Be the perfect son (no pressure!)
Earn his father's appreciation and love
Defend the Imperium with honor
Secret desire: Just wants his brothers to love him back
Carry the memory of Nesarlen forward
Hidden goal: Prove that quiet analysis can be as valuable as loud action
Never let another world die on his watch
Legion highlights
The Scarlet Vanguard are:
Melee specialists who think while they fight
Master multitaskers (planning 5 moves ahead)
Red armor with white accents (clean and striking)
Disciplined but adaptable
Probably one of the most well-analyzed legion in the galaxy
Understand their primarch's need for contemplation
Abilities
Tactical genius
Master multitasker (chess grandmaster brain)
Inspiring leader (quiet charisma)
Strong melee fighter (gentle giant with heavy hands)
Strategic mind that sees 20 steps ahead
Hidden talent: Probably incredible at remembering details about people
The deeper layers
The Living Memorial: He IS the ghost of his dead world
The Analyst: Takes forever to speak because he's processing everything
The Gentle Giant: Terrifying in combat, soft with his people
The Perfectionist: Self-critical because he couldn't save Nesarlen
The Silent Brother: Wants connection but doesn't know how to reach out
The Burden Bearer: Carries the cultural memory of an entire civilization
He's not just "the quiet one" — he's a man carrying the cultural weight of an entire dead civilization while trying to be the perfect son, brother, and leader. His analysis isn't arrogance — it's the desperate need to make sure he never makes a mistake that costs lives again. His difficulty trusting isn't unfriendliness — it's trauma from watching a world die.

The Coward: For all his cruelty, he's actually afraid of real consequences
The Liar: Nothing he says can be trusted (including this introduction)
Why he's fascinating (and terrifying)
The primarch who chose to be the villain
Represents what happens when genius lacks morality
His own legion probably plots against him
The Primarch who probably would make even Chaos Marines uncomfortable
The real question: What happened on Carissa that was so bad he destroyed an entire planet?
Self-aware about his madness but uses it as a weapon
The family member who makes everyone else look functional by comparison
This primarch is intentionally written as irredeemable. He's the villain of his own story and everyone else's.

Part 3 is here and with it the final training of the Slayer, his meeting with samuell hayden and more !
You guys voted in a poll to have pictures, there's also one hyperlink for Hayden's appearance because i didn't know where to put it.
Not proofread, Word count: 4559
Huge credits to @baldieboi for many of the ideas present in this story and some paragraph are completely thanks to them.
Taglist : @baldieboi, @fantasticarcadefan , @fallen-angel2470 , @feral-childs-word, @bbmgirll, @hai-there-how-are-you
Masterlist, Part 1, Part 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Gotham’s judge, jury and executioner, part 3.
The scientist and the exiled son :
After Siberia, China and Thailand it was time for your final destination : Switzerland. After some research on which European country to visit to train yourself in the usage of guns, you found out Switzerland had very little in the way of restrictions. Perfect for a vigilante in training but Fate had other ideas in mind.
You still needed to design your suit and choose your arsenal for your war against crime yet this was a problem you were ill-prepared for, you didn’t have the resources nor the installations for such an undertaking. You decided to put this problem on hold for now and start your training at a shooting range.
You made quick progress and was called a natural at using guns, much to the surprise and slight worry of the range owner. You tried a lot of different weapons but it seems you had an affinity for shotguns and assault rifle, it was a necessity and an advantage to use such weapons in Gotham’s open streets or closed alleyways.
You will remember this day forever, it was snowing lightly and it covered the city in a snow blanket. You were absentmindedly walking when you stumbled upon a newspaper talking about a renowned scientist making a conference this very day.
‘Doctor and world renowned genius Samuel Hayden is in town for a conference about the future of energy processing and consumption. Possibility of a new and improved energy harvesting structure in the talk.’
You kept reading the article and there was a strange feeling in your body, you had to go there. Curiosity, fate or mere chance, you couldn’t tell but this conference would forever change your life and you thanked your instincts for going there.
Once there you felt a bit odd, you obviously weren’t a scientist but more like a child sneaking into a party. Most people were better dressed and looked the part while you were in your everyday clothe with your coat still full of snow, it was almost funny when looking back on this moment.
A quick look around and you saw many known researcher present in the room, you jokingly wondered how many were here for the conference and how many were here for the free drinks. Pushing that thought aside you sat down next to an older researcher and waited for the conference to start.
You didn’t give much thought about Dr. Hayden's appearance but you weren’t ready for that, he was a robot. Easily standing over 2,30M he easily captivated the crowd from the moment he appeared, after a few greetings and mundane accolades he started speaking about the current energies present on earth such as renewable energies or fossil fuels and more importantly how fast humanity was using both of them.
He spoke about using geothermal power plants or even harvesting the heat produced by volcanoes using special infrastructures, he moved on to more impressive (and fantastical) projects like drilling to the Earth’s core to use it’s near limitless supplies of lava to create massive heat converters or creating solar panels arrays in space and use the constant light emitted by the Sun to always have a steady supply of energy.
You lost him when he was speaking of using solar rays as a possible power source, the man always had an idea ! When he spoke, two project of his peaked your interest : powered armor and teleportation technology.
“Power armor as is it jokingly called by some of my esteemed colleagues is a type of armor powered by an energy source allowing it’s user to carry more equipment, take more blows without fear or use weapons too heavy for a regular human.” he started as he showed some prototypes on the screen behind him.
The screen then showed a video of a laboratory where the armors were being tested and one soldier was carrying one machine gun in it’s hand, another carried blocks of concrete as if they were feathers.
“While the military applications are more than obvious it can be adapted for worker’s use, deep-sea welding is one of them, high-risk construction become a problem of the past if you cannot be harmed by anything. This armor could revolutionize many areas like explorations or rescue missions and-”
On and on he went about the near-limitless potential of his colleague's findings, he explained it with such confidence and assurance that you were sure the future he spoke about was going to happen soon. He stopped after 2 hours of speeches and question-answering. The crowd dispersed a bit and you left for a secluded spot near a window.
You thought about leaving since the conference seemed to have come to a halt without more speeches from anyone else. You didn’t expect Hayden to come seek you in particular, he stood over you, a rare sight since you were used to the opposite.
“Out of all the guests and visitor I didn’t expect a Wayne to be here, I hope this was to your liking.” He extended a hand to you and you shook it, although he didn’t miss the way your body stiffened at the mention of the Wayne name.
“It is a pleasure to meet you Mr Hayden but I am not here as a Wayne, only as a regular citizen. The Wayne name is not for me anymore.” you told him calmly, you didn’t want to appear rude or ungrateful after his warm welcome.
“My apologies, I did not realize but if you can excuse my curiosity, why are you here ? I was mostly expecting scientists but you are not one, you are special.” your eyes narrowed at word special and you were now on edge.
“I was curious about you and your conference, the newspaper talked about your findings and development in various field. But now is my turn for a question, how am I ‘special’ ? I hope it does not mean what I think it does.” You warned him, if he wanted to try anything because you were a Wayne, you were ready for a fight.
Hayden realized his mistake and his poor choice of word, he quickly reassured you “I mean no harm to you, that I promise. We should speak of this another time, maybe at my laboratory ? There are many things we could talk about, away from prying eyes.”
You could tell he was sincere, it was not ulterior motives but pure curiosity, he truly was a model scientist. You relaxed and decided to joke with him to lighten the mood. “How many of them are actually here for the drinks in your opinion ? I’ll bet on more than half”.
Despite being a robot with no human features you could tell he was smiling at this, “hmm my estimates follow yours although I’d say they were all here for the conference and slowly started switching for the drink.” He put his hand under his head, as if he was thinking hard about this.
“As I said earlier, we need to talk about this in another place, I would like to invite you to my house or laboratory, whichever is more convenient for you. I will be honest now, there is something unique about you and I am curious to find out why but more importantly I would like to know you if possible, do not think that I see you as a test subject.”
It was funny how he was panicking to make sure he didn’t call you a lab rat or anything, you pat his shoulder and smiled at him “I understand what you mean, do not be alarmed Mr Hayden, in two days at your laboratory then ?”
Hayden brightened at this, he was used to scientific interaction, it was refreshing to be treated normally. He offered to shake your hand “Call me Samuel, no need for the mister.”
This meeting would be the start of something great, something you wanted your whole life: a genuine connection with someone.
A scientist, a friend and a father :
Hayden was nothing short of welcoming and an interesting character, his laboratory was filled with various blueprints posted on the wall and numerous machines at every corner, shelves full of batteries of some kind and even miniatures of the structures he spoke about at the conference.
“Forgive the chaos in the room but sometime I work on multiple experiment at the same time and time to clean is sparse, however feel free to take a look and ask about anything that catch your eye, be mindful of the batteries however, they are unstable.” Hayden said as he showed his lab to you, it was the movie cliché of a laboratory.
The walls were white, so much so that the light were nearly blinding in the reflection. You approached a nearby table and looked at a device, “what is this ?” you asked him as he dimmed the light a little.
“A device made to absorb shock and re-distribute it evenly throughout it’s anchor point, be it a building or a vehicle. I believe it is possible for it to even keep the energy of the shock and spend it in one blow, a kinetic weapon if you will. It will revolutionize the way architect and engineers will fight earthquakes.”
You saw the potential of such a thing, no need for specialized infrastructures anymore, you were glad that he was focused on the betterment of Mankind. You were worried he only wanted to make weapons at first but you were sorely mistaken, everything inside was meant to help people one way or another.
A new power source, better and more secure ways of working or entire tools rebuilt from the ground up to ensure easy use. You saw a round pad at the end of the room and Hayden followed your gaze, “I see you noticed it, my magnum opus.” Hayden said proudly.
“It is a teleporter, a prototype at least but just imagine the possibilities, instant trading for example ! A country experiencing disasters ? The people can be moved directly to a safer place, food sent to the needy instantly ! Isn’t this exciting ?” Hayden explained, he pointed to various buttons and even gave you a demonstration.
You put a pencil on the pad and after a bright glow it was sent to a smaller pad a few meters away from it, “this is wonderful” you couldn’t believe it ! “Just… how is it possible ?” you were clearly shocked by such technology.
Hayden beamed, pleased that someone had such interest in his inventions. “Science, trials and errors as well as determination, I strive to push the boundaries of Science for the betterment of humanity.”
“As for your question, it deconstruct the target on a molecular level then ‘store’ them and send them to the chosen pad, for now I only tried it with object since the slightest error could result in unforeseen consequences for the user” Hayden explained, he showed you various fruit and vegetables that came out burned or split in half after a failed teleportation.
The two of you discussed about various experiment until you asked to begin the tests he mentioned at the conference, eager to discover things you didn’t know about yourself and your biology? According to Hayden, you were unique and it was time to discover why.
You sometime wondered about it, what was so special about you ? You tried to ask Bruce about it only to be ignored or given vague answer. You wanted to know since childhood and you finally have the opportunity to get long-awaited answers.
It started with physical exercises where you surpassed his expectations, he analyzed it all and started creating some hypothesis. At first they centered around gene-tailoring : multiple genes artificially implanted in an embryo to guide the specimen’s evolution.
He tested your body’s limit next, rigorous and downright impossible task were used such as lifting weight any humans would struggle with and carry them for as long as possible, he also tested your regeneration as such a trait could come in multiple versions.
You told him about the wound Ursa Major gave you on the chest and shoulder, how you felt the pain disappear very shortly after and he proposed some blood test to figure out what you were exactly.
“I am looking at something incredible Reader, something unique and safe to say, never-seen before genetic traits. For lack of a better word, you are part human, part alien. I cannot completely pinpoint your heritage but you are something closer to a being like Wonder-woman or Superman.”
You couldn’t believe your ears, Bruce himself had some suspicion but now you knew. You were different, alien. “what do you mean ? Am I a kryptonian or have an Amazon ancestor ?”.
Hayden looked at the results, then you and the results again. “I cannot say, I would qualify you as Homo-superior in this case. Most of your genes are human but your father or mother gave you unique genetic traits such as your endurance or regeneration. You probably cannot fly or hear for kilometers away like Superman but… You are a new category of hybrid, I have never seen this before.”
Homo-superior, a new hybrid. You had the answers you wanted but more question, who and what was your mother ? Did you unlock your full potential ? What are you capable of exactly ?
Power and family :
Over the next few months Hayden kept testing various formulas and regimes on you to try and figure out how your biology worked, what exactly you were and especially how to fully awake your powers.
While you were training with your guns in various exercises he approached you and told you a fantastic news: he built a machine calibrated specifically to your body and he was confident in it’s ability to help you.
As you both stood near the machine he placed a hand on your shoulder and told you “The choice is yours, it will work and unlock the rest of your abilities or you can also choose to not do it. When we met I expressed curiosity to know more about you but I refuse to force you into such a dilemma, this is your destiny and I will not rob you of that.”
You were touched by his words, when you first met him you thought he would use you as a lab rat and dispose of you when he knew what he wanted to get out of you but it was clear Samuel Hayden was an honorable and kind man.
“Samuel… I do not know what to say, you’ve already done so much for me and you keep on giving, how can I ever repay you ?” you didn’t know what else to say, what could you say to the man who gave so much of his time and resources to help someone he met at a conference ?
Hayden looked away for a second then turned back to you.
“I had a son once and you remind me of him, such a passion for everything he did. You once told me you wanted to bring justice to your city, to get rid of the problem at the root, it involves killing but I can tell you will not do it recklessly.”
“I know you will do everything in your power to protect those who cannot protect themselves, I know you will have to kill one soul to save another but you will do it without joy or pleasure and for that, I choose to help you. I choose to help the one willing to choose the difficult option so others can live a better life.”
When Hayden finished he placed a hand on your shoulder and you hugged him instantly, it felt natural now and almost… familiar.
“You understand me, you know of my choices and instead of telling me to change my path you debated it with me and showed me why it had to be done. I want to save these people and I will honor your work.”
“Hayden” you started with confidence “power the machine, I am going in.” Hayden nodded and gave you a serious look. “Whenever you are ready, reader.”
You sat down and in the machine and listened to Hayden’s instructions, “it is important of you to tell me what you feel during the entire operation, the slightest feeling can be important as this is an extremely experimental procedure meant to quickly evolve your body with small doses of radiation and electric shock. Am I understood ?”
“Yes, I am ready” you told him and with a final nod he powered up the machine, you felt like you were surrounded by light. Nothing really hurt inside, it’s as if you were numb or dreaming for a few second/minutes.
You told him what you felt and slowly the power increased until a surge of electricity surged through your body and you felt the sudden change.
You felt your body becoming stronger, something better.
Slowly the power lessened until it was completely gone and he released you from the machine.
“How do you feel ? Are you injured in any way ?” he checked you for anything but to his surprise you felt better than you ever did before, as if you could take on the world ! “I feel… incredible, Hayden thank you !” you jumped and hugged him with joy.
The machine did more than awaken your genes, it unshackled you. You learned things faster, felt stronger to the point you managed to push a car with your arms without much issue.
Hayden approached you and smiled internally. He gave you some blueprints and told you it was time to work on your armor and gadget, something you were excited to do.
“Let me tell you what I will need Hayden, an armor capable of movement while offering protection, guns strong enough to punch through armor easily and gadgets to adapt to the situation at hand.”
He took notes and gave you blueprints as you listed each tools in your future arsenal and had to account for your shield, the final list was narrowed down to : two melee weapons, two shotguns, two energy weapons and an assault rifle.
The gadgets were more difficult to narrow down but at the time he proposed a lot of different grenade like energy grenades or high-voltages grenades.
The first weapon to be upgraded was the double-shotgun you got in Siberia as a reward for killing Ursa Major, he added a hook to it much to your confusion but you soon realized the advantage it could bring since it could act as an improvised grapple or bring someone to you via it’s hook.
It can shoot most shotgun shell without issue but consume more ammo than your second shotgun however it excel at dealing extreme damage to a large group of target thank to it’s increased spread
Tumblr media
Your other shotgun was created from scratch and is one handed like most of your other weapons, this was a necessary outcome since you were wielding a shield in your other hands, this shotgun also possess a bladed cross in case you ever needed to hit someone with it.
It’s a combat shotgun using normal rounds and sometime Dragon’s Breath round to set the target on fire. It possess a much stronger impact than most shotgun as it designed to quickly kill targets.
Tumblr media
Next came your shield, it was gifted to you in Thailand and you were reluctant to upgrade it, fearing it would dishonor the previous owner but Hayden reassured you that whoever held it in the past would be honored to see it used instead of being forgotten on a shelf, hence it became the Chainsaw-shield or Chain-shield as Hayden jokingly called it.
Tumblr media
It was upgraded to include a round chainsaw frame and a magnetic lock linked to your gauntlet, meaning you could send the shield away and call it back to you, it also gave you another lethal weapon to use in close quarter combat in case you ever needed to saw someone.
Next came the flail but no upgrade could be done to it, Hayden simply provided you with a holster on your belt to better hold it.
Tumblr media
You were confused when Hayden wrote “energy weapons” on the list, he surprised you by opening two cases on a table and giving you two experimental weapons: the plasma rifle and the Accelerator.
Tumblr media
The plasma rifle run on battery power placed in the middle of the weapon and has different upgrade, one were the shot are more powerful the longer the gun shoots and the other where the battery can be thrown as a grenade it overheats.
This weapon is useful against any type of enemy since the burns inflicted by the plasma cauterize the wound instantly which is useful to interrogate anyone unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of it’s barrel.
The second energy weapon was the accelerator, an energy pistol similar to the plasma rifle with a high rate of fire and two upgrades, more accuracy and damage when reaching a certain threshold or another upgrade which released an electrical shock to close targets when the gun overloaded.
Despite it’s low accuracy it was good to inflict burning wounds on any enemies with it or shock multiple of them.
Tumblr media
The final weapon to be created was a compact assault rifle using tungsten-tipped round, this gave it a massive firepower as well as armor-piercing capabilities, Hayden scaled it down as much as he could but it remain the only weapon in your arsenal that needs to be used with two hands and as such it’s only upgrade is a sight or a larger magazine.
Tumblr media
You weren’t ready for the day he gave you the armor schematics, it took a long time to develop and it felt like the two of you grew closer when designing it, staying up late and coming up with ideas was something you both enjoyed. You got to see Hayden in his environment, designing and creating to his heart’s content.
That day, the dynamic would change between you two, he handed you the schematics of the armor and said he had to leave for a while.
You opened the file and skimmed through the various paper when you found a folder, you opened it and it was adoption paper. You had to read it a second and third time.
Samuel Hayden wanted to adopt you, he wanted you as his son and you couldn’t be happier. You wanted him as your father.
Hayden was very nervous when he left the room, would you accept ? Deny it and leave ? All of the possibilities scared him but when he came back you instantly hugged him and cried that you accepted ! You both cried that day, tears of joy and happiness.
“The armor schematics was just an excuse for you to see the paper but I wanted to make it special, here is your armor… my son.” it felt so natural by now, as if he wanted to call you that from the day he met you.
After that touching moment he led you to another room and opened a container with your armor inside.
Tumblr media
“Every inch of this armor is covered in reinforced plates with at least 4 different layers of protective material such as Kevlar to ensure maximum protection against any threat be they ballistic or physical. The boots and gauntlet are both equipped with the Kinetic-Shock-Absorption device or KSA, it will allow you to accumulate energy from any impact or shock to then use it for devastating ground slam, creating a shock-wave with a punch or kick and even jump from high heights without harm”
“The layers of armor are all interconnected but not rigid, this allow for better mobility while still giving ample amount of protection, the red dot on the armor is the battery for the various system in the armor like the integrated exoskeleton in the legs to help you move this armor without difficulties”
“Your arms aren’t as covered as the rest of your armor since it would limit your movement, however your shield will help with this, it can be mag-locked to the back of your armor or the arm of your choice, I also took the liberty to add the pelt of Ursa Major to your armor since you insisted to carry it with you. The shoulders are also covered with spikes to prevent someone jumping on you.”
“The gauntlets are heavy but come with spiked finger acting as a brass knuckles, the KSA and the mag-lock to recall your shield.”
He explained all of the various equipment in the armor and gave you the belt and helmet as he pointed to various parts of the armor.
“This belt will carry all the necessary tools you will need on missions such as grenades, your flail and any other devices you wish to bring with you. The helmet will hide your identity and provide you with a scanner, radio and map of the city, I can also help you if needed via the camera feed directly from the helmet.”
You tried the armor and it just felt… right. Unlike what Bruce gave you when you were still a Robin this armor felt like home, it was an extension of your being.
“Thank you isn’t good enough to show you how much I love it Hayden, you have given me everything once again and I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful gift.” you told him with tears in your eyes.
Hayden hugged you tightly and looked you in the eyes, “then bear this armor with pride son, you earned it through hard work and determination, I made it but you will be it’s true master. So please, use it to protect your city, use it to protect those who cannot and honor it’s purpose.” Hayden said, his voice full of pride.
United in purpose, bound by family :
After training some more with your armor it was time to head back to Gotham with your father. He insisted on coming with you since he didn’t want to leave you alone in “such a dangerous city” he said with a voice dripping of sarcasm but he also came with you to work on future experiment there and possibly meet your bio-dad, Bruce Wayne.
The ride to the airport was charged with emotions, you were finally coming back to Gotham after 5 years but instead of the grief you experienced last time, you were coming back stronger than ever with your father, your true father.
When boarding the plane, he asked “How do you feel ? Ready to come back to Gotham ?”. You looked at him with determination and told him “Ready, more than ready and this time I don’t intend to loose anyone to crime. I will protect those I love and punish those deserving of it.”
The criminals and villains of Gotham will soon be reminded that they should fear justice, feel the wrath of someone willing to hunt them and bring them a swift and decisive justice.

part 3 is coming along nicely but we have something to ask you all, do we put pictures on the story to help you visualize the gear the Slayer will use ?
We thought of hyperlink as well instead of pictures. Most of the gear used will be from Doom the Dark ages like the armor, shield and flail.
Or we could put nothing and leave you to make you own image of the gear used.

hi, poster of the seath and doomslayer request here, thank you so much for doing them ! They were well written.
I had an idea for if you make a part 2 of doomslayer reader.
Reader keep doing his crusade against crime the brutal way, of course batman is still on their trail as he can't accept this done to criminals and now the GCPD is also on the case since reader's brutality and kill ratio and enough to be labeled a criminal.
However the public is supporting them, finally a vigilante who stop criminals the hard way. This could lead to a fight between batman and executioner as you called them.
A battle that reader easily win by being an unstoppable force, later a gruesome message is sent to the Wayne manor, a know criminal, dead in front of the gate with a message from reader telling them that Gotham is under the protection of the executionner, and not batman who's unable to truly stop villains..
Or another way this could go is after batman get his ass kicked by reader maybe other heroes would get involved ? Worried about how reader's popularity is growing despite the brutality they use to solve crime.
Flash is known to care for some of his villains so he'd intervene if reader ever tries to get rid of some criminals while superman would be working to limit their influence since killing isn't the answer.
These are just ideas if you make a part 2, feel free to use them or do something completely different. Thank you again for writing them !
Tyyy bae<3 I enjoy writing them as well<3
Crime Alley — 2:14 AM
The Executioner stood amid the remnants of a drug den. Blood soaked the pavement. Six bodies. All criminals. All known repeat offenders. The last one hadn’t even gotten the chance to beg.
Behind him, a voice cut through the quiet.
“You’ve gone too far.”
Batman.
The Executioner didn’t turn. The slow creak of armored fingers tightening around a modified super-shotgun answered for him.
“You used to stop this kind of thing,” Batman said, stepping forward, cape drifting behind him like a shadow. “Now you are the thing.”
The Executioner finally turned, mask unreadable, eyes glowing beneath the visor. The air seemed to thrum with rage — ancient, holy, earned. He stepped forward like a tank, uncaring, unmoved.
Batman struck first. Grapnel, smoke, electric charges — everything meant to subdue, disorient, disable.
None of it worked.
The Executioner moved like a living weapon. He took a punch from Batman square in the chest and didn’t flinch. Then he retaliated — hard. One blow sent the Dark Knight crashing into a brick wall. Ribs cracked. Gadgets broke. The Bat bled.
Bruce tried to rise, blood pouring from his mouth. “You’re not justice. You’re wrath.”
The Executioner leaned down, voice a low growl that made the concrete hum:
“Justice is wrath. You just forgot what it feels like.”
Then he walked away, leaving Batman gasping in the ruins of his pride.
Wayne Manor — 7:00 AM
Alfred never screamed.
He had been through wars, worse even. But the sight that greeted him at the front gates of Wayne Manor nearly stopped his heart.
A corpse — Roman Sionis, the Black Mask — strung up like a butchered pig, blood pooling in the grass. A crude stake impaled through his torso, pinning him upright like a warning sign.
Taped to the dead man’s chest was a message, written in dried blood:
“No more masks. Gotham is mine now. — The Executioner”
Media Frenzy — Same Morning
The news exploded.
"Executioner ends Black Mask — Gotham celebrates!" "Is Batman obsolete?" "GCPD loses control of the narrative."
Public approval skyrocketed. People wore shirts with the Executioner’s logo. Graffiti crowned Reader as the city’s true protector.
Elsewhere — Justice League Satellite
Clark Kent stood before the monitor, jaw tight.
“We have a problem.”
Barry Allen ran a hand through his hair, watching the footage of Batman being brutalized in seconds.
“That wasn’t a fight. That was a warning.”
Diana folded her arms. “No... that was a declaration of war.”
The camera panned across Gotham, a city once ruled by fear, now ruled by something far more terrifying.
Conviction.

This part focus more on the training so it's not as emotionnaly charged as Part 1 but Part 3 will contain wholesomeness with another character.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Gotham’s judge, jury and executioner, part 2
Exile and training :
Leaving Gotham really helped you in more ways than one. You could breath freely, think in peace and most importantly, you did therapy to get to term with Jason’s death. You were reassured that you weren’t to blame, in fact you’ve done more than most people would’ve and it lifted a huge weight from your shoulders.
Your first destination was Siberia, why ? You wanted to train your body in extreme temperatures and this included running in the biting cold, practicing martial arts and all around pushing your body to it’s limit to further enhance it.
This training was brutal at first, you didn’t go very far and you were freezing faster than anticipated but soon enough you were running for an hour without rest or pushing around logs with your arms, you felt the results of this training during the following weeks.
You also started hunting, this taught you to survive with what the environment gave you , to lay traps and adapt to any sudden changes. After all you could hunt a deer but stumble upon a bear so you’d learn from the villagers, prepare bait or makeshift bows to hunt.
Then you would wait in a makeshift shelter for hours, sometimes for nothing but other times you were lucky and would catch a prey, your patience was rewarded and you thought to master this patience to never rush in and stay focused no matter the situation.
You even started meditating like Bruce taught you all these years ago, it was apparently a good way to shut off part of the body and survive in extreme conditions if the body and mind is correctly trained. It came to a point where you were training in a short and T-shirt, the cold wasn’t as biting, the air was just fresh and you could meditate for hours in one single spot without freezing.
While most would disregard this as useless or a waste of time it would allow you to survive in extreme temperature against some villains like Mr Freeze without the need of a special suit, it also helped with your tolerance to pain.
When you were done training you’d come back to a small village near the forest where you were training, the villagers accepted you without too much trouble and you lived with an old couple who took you in. You reminded them of their grandson and they offered you a small room to sleep in, you thanked them profusely and started helping around the village when you weren’t training.
One day after a hunting trip, the old couple offered you a simple soup for dinner, it was the best they could give you but it was the best meal in your opinion, it was cooked with kindness. Most would call it tasteless in Gotham.
They suddenly grew concerned and told you to avoid a specific part of the forest for a time. Confused, you asked why and you learned of a local legend: Ursa Major.
A massive bear that plagued the region for years, it decimated the local animal population and would attack the livestock of the village. It even killed their grandson, they told you that many tried to kill it but despite years and years of hunting it never died as it was simply too dangerous.
You wished to offer them some closure and declared you’d hunt and kill the bear, the grandmother cried and begged you not to do it, it was way too dangerous even for you ! The grandfather however stood up and hugged you, quietly thanking you for doing this.
The next morning the entire village knew of your intentions and many wanted to accompany you however you declined stating that Ursa Major wouldn’t kill another being ever again, it wasn’t pride like some whispered, it was pure determination.
The chief gave you some supplies and you assured him that you would hunt for food if needed, he put his hand on your shoulder and called you the bravest boy he’d ever seen and from that old man ? It was the highest praise you could ask for.
You told them to not look for you if you didn’t come back after a week, not to come running if they heard a scream. In short they could do nothing, it was you or the bear and you intended to give the couple the closure they deserved.
With some tearful goodbyes you took your bow, some wooden spears and left for the forest, you had to head north, you never explored this area much because you had the feelings of being observed and that feeling would soon become true.
The forest was nothing short of gloomy and downright worrying, you made a small shelter and ate a can of beans. You didn’t dare make a fire, you’d be too exposed and drawing attention this early wasn’t good. When going to bed however, you didn’t notice the massive figure looking at your camp from the tree line.
The next couple days you saw less and less animals, a few carcass laying around but the lack of animals was a warning sign, you were in it’s territory and it was warning anything foolish enough to stay here that they were in danger.
You explored the area and laid a couple of traps ranging from a classic bear trap to a leaf covered pit and started using the trees as potential hideout, you didn’t trust the ground to sleep anymore.
The fourth day was where you finally saw it, you were refilling your gourd at a river when you saw Ursa looking at you from the other side of the riverbank.
You made no sudden move as it could run to you and if the water was shallow it would outrun you easily, you took some mental notes about him.
First, it was massive- no, massive wasn’t true, you saw some bears before but this one was at least double the size of any bear you’ve seen.
Secondly it was smart, too smart. It followed you to this river and only revealed itself when you were vulnerable, it was another warning.
And thirdly, it was covered in scars and you even saw some bullet holes, it was going to be a tough fight.
After this you adapted, you sacrificed some supplies to make a fake camp and left a recorder under the blanket, it would play the noise of someone snoring and you set up a camera up in a tree to overlook said camp to try to capture the bear on camera.
You weren’t disappointed, the next night you hid in a tree far away and spent most of the night looking at the footage, you were about to close the footage when Ursa appeared on screen, it sniffed around the camp and suddenly tore open the tent. It ripped the bag hoping to find you but received an empty bag instead, it roared loudly and left.
It was clear now, you were dealing with an apex predator and you angered it.
You then spent the entire fifth day preparing yourself and any weapons you could craft, you made some arrows and tipped them with whatever poison you could make from nearby plant and made other arrow sharpened edges as it would force Ursa to bleed and cause more pain if tried to be removed.
Next you gathered carcass to burn them and enrage Ursa hoping to draw it out and force it in the open to hunt more food.
Finally you chose an “arena” of sort to fight him but before you barely had the time to set up a few trap when you heard loud footsteps nearby, you climbed on a hill overlooking the arena and observed the surrounding in a makeshift shelter. This proved to be a mistake, a near fatal one.
You heard bushes and branches cracking and snapping in quick succession, you barely had the time to get up when Ursa knocked down the shelter and sent you flying down in the arena with a massive swipe of it’s claw.
It left a nasty scar, one that you would bear your whole life but for now you needed to survive this fight, Ursa jumped down and the ground shook with it. It roared loudly and charged you, you sidestepped it and drove a spear into it’s back, twisting it and breaking the stick leaving the spear inside.
Ursa got on it’s hind leg and tried to crush you by landing in it’s back only for you to drive another spear and a poisoned arrow in it’s belly. It roared and thrashed throwing you away again. Ursa charged at you again and you rolled just in time for him to run into the stone wall and momentarily stunning itself.
You put on your reinforced gloves -courtesy of the blacksmith- and waited for the next attack. It came soon enough and a plan was forming in your mind, Ursa was slow but devastating, he could only use speed for a brief while and couldn’t change direction easily, so you needed to draw out the fight and force him to charge you as a direct assault is too dangerous.
It walked slowly toward you and you prepared a spear, slowly bleeding Ursa was another tactic : Death by a Thousands cuts.
It charged but stopped right as you sidestepped it, it backhanded you and you slammed against the wall again but this time Ursa was smarter and used it’s hind leg to try and crush you instead of running toward you but you had a dangerous gamble to try.
Taking the sharpest spear in hand, you waited until the last second to drive the spear into it’s belly again as it tried to crush you, the spear didn’t miss and from the sound it made you were pretty sure you hit a major organ.
Enraged, Ursa powered through the pain and sank it’s teeth in your shoulder, you screamed in pain and using your quick thinking you drove an arrow in it’s eye before it could rip your shoulder off.
Ursa let out a roar again but it was different, almost a whimper and you knew you were winning. You didn’t know if it was adrenaline or something else but your shoulder didn’t hurt as much as did mere moments ago.
The fight entered it’s final phase as the pain in it’s eyes, belly and back didn’t give him the movement he needed to swipe like it did at the start, you charged Ursa and jumped above him, landing on it’s back you delivered a huge blow to it’s spine and it let out a loud whimper-roar, it weakly tried to shake you off before you got off and drove another spear in it’s body.
The exhaustion started to catch up to you and you had to finish this soon, It was now or never !
Ursa gathered the last of it’s strength and charged one last time, you did the same but jumped at the last moment over it’s head and with a triumphant roar you slammed both of your fist in Ursa’s skull.
A massive CRACK was heard in the forest and Ursa laid dead… it’s skull shattered and blood leaking from it’s body, you won and let out of scream of triumph ! However you soon came to the realization that dragging that bear back to the village was going to be the worst part.
The villagers were all worried sick during the week but they couldn’t believe it when you came back with Ursa’s body being dragged on a makeshift sled. The entire village ran to treat your injuries but most came for the body, not able to believe that Ursa Major was dead even the older villagers couldn’t believe it.
The old couple thanked you profusely and wanted to give you a reward, you only asked for the pelt of Ursa but the grandfather insisted on giving you a reward, it came in the form of a beautifully engraved double-barreled shotgun. You thanked him and they both took you in their arms, thanking you for giving them closure.
With one final goodbye during after a celebration thrown in your name you gave your goodbyes and left for your next destination.
Walking among shadows :
You decided to move to china next . You came to China to perfect your stealth, you found a renowned master and you asked him for help. When he asked you why instead of showering him with praise like he expected you humbly asked him for his help.
With that your training started and it was difficult, even when Bruce tried to train you stealth wasn’t your strong suit but your master told you to try again and again. He noticed that you after each attempt you would become slightly better, you pushed through even when doing the same exercise for hours on end.
Eventually you managed to sneak around the Dojo without making noise or being noticed, you gave him the scare of his life when giving him his tea cup after looking for them. He then told you the next step: open stealth.
He made you walk through crowd of people and you had to learn to weave through them effortlessly then he trained you to be incognito despite your massive frame and you got the hang of it rather quickly.
The final part of your training with him was learning to fight while blind, he would blindfold you and at first he was noisy when attacking you but gradually he was more and more silent to the point you couldn’t hear him anymore and had to rely on your instincts to fight back.
It was time for your two final trials and you were more than ready.
The amounts of wounds you got from failures in this challenge was particularly high but when you finally learned to dodge all his hits, all random from sessions to sessions and on the final day, you grabbed his hand before the weapon could hit you and he couldn’t be more impressed.
The second and final trials was harder than anticipated but you pulled through, the challenge ? Fight him while you were blindfolded and he was silent as well. It was like fighting the wind, you never knew where he was.
You failed several times but you got closer and closer until you finally bested him, it was a close victory as you parried each of his blow and retaliated with one of your own that sent him flying. On and on the battle went until you parried a blow he was sure you couldn’t hear and you threw him to the floor.
He considered you ready and gifted you a flail, custom made for you and you couldn’t believe your eyes at the quality of the weapon. He smiled at you, the only time he did so and told you that whatever your quest was to never forget those who helped get where you are.
Being one with nature :
Following your master’s advice for your training he sent you to a friend of his in Thailand, in the jungle specifically since she was a master survivalist. Something you would need in Gotham in case you needed to be off the grid for a while.
She welcomed you with open arms and first taught you about the wildlife and ecosystem, how to use it to survive and then she started taking you on trips without supplies to force you to adapt, it reminded you of the Siberian forests in a way.
Then once at the chosen destination, she’d tell you to find something specific ranging from an animal to a flower and you had to find it within a specific time frame, she told you to think of it as an emergency if you were wounded gravely and needed something quickly.
Over time she took you deeper and deeper and even into territories of dangerous animals like tigers and told you to make a camp and hold until she came back. You were told to hunt your own food and to bring her a proof of your kill.
You didn’t miss her quiet nod of approval when you brought back a perfect tiger’s pelt after a difficult trip, you had been stalking him for days before you shot a poisoned dart at him from a tree.
After a few month you knew this jungle like the back of your hand and she told you that your final trial was about to take place, the trial ? You would be brought to a part of the jungle and told to bring back a plant, a tiger’s paw and to come back within 5 days or else you would fail.
Once there, she told you the rules and left, you found the plant relatively easily but the tiger would be a problem since tracking them would be long and dangerous but you didn’t let this demoralize you. You tracked down a tiger over the course of two days and you were close to shooting him when you heard a scream.
You didn’t hesitate and rushed there only to find someone else completely delirious and in clear dehydration, a very dangerous combination in such a hostile environment. The scream already alerted the tiger and if he didn’t flee he would surely come to investigate and you didn’t feel like fighting a tiger.
You won against a bear but you wouldn’t be faster than a tiger, at least you didn’t want to find out. You put them on your shoulders and hastily left for a safer spot, you gave them water and used the plants you gathered to help their condition, it wouldn’t cure everything but they were lucid enough to tell you they were exploring and got lost, they ate anything they found and unfortunately stumbled upon a hallucinogenic plant.
You still had a trial to win but they needed urgent care so you decided to forgo safety and find your master as soon as possible. Fortunately you could tell where you were and came back on the fourth day, you were starving as you gave most of the food to the wounded.
You handed her the person and asked her to deliver them to the nearest hospital to which she quickly ordered someone to get on it. You only had the plant to prove your trials and some students called for your failure only for her to say that you risked everything –even yourself- to save one person.
And to her it meant more than a plant or a tiger’s paw and she declared your trial as completed. While she wasn’t one for celebration she still decided to celebrate your success by giving you a gift, an old shield but you could tell it meant a lot to her.
“It belonged to another student from long ago, he was very talented just like you. Take it and honor him as you honored me through your apprenticeship, I know you will take good care of it and give it a second life” She told you quietly in the armory.
She must’ve seen the future that day because your next destination would change your life forever and for the best. You didn’t know it yet but the next part of your voyage would introduce you to someone special, someone you would cherish your whole life.
