“Mother Nature”: Baron Helmut Zemo Imagine: Plus Size

A Helmut Zemo Imagine Commissioned by: She chose to remain anon so I won't tag her but thank you love for your commission! Much love! Notes from cx: "Can you use your oc Jessi for this please? Can we have cottagecore vibes? Can we have an animal mama? Can we have a cool power and some backstory?" Note from myself: Yes, bebe, of course you can have anything you want! -----------

The tension in the jet could be cut with a knife as the three males resided there.

Sam was caught between irritation at Bucky... in general and due to the fact that he would do nothing but glower at Zemo.

And also by the subject of his glowering himself.

He didn't like the situation in any way, shape or form.

But after coming to the resolution that he was more help to them out of prison that he was in... the both of them had agreed to 'let' him stay.

Even when all of them knew that if and when Zemo was ready to flee... he'd just do it.

"So this woman?" Zemo spoke up. "Why is it that we must collect her?"

"Collect her?" Sam laughed. "What the fuck, man? She's a woman. Not a pokemon card."

"We need her." Bucky said shortly.

"Yeah, we need her." Sam laughed. "What I'm not looking forward to is the ass whoopin that she's undoubtedly gonna dish out when she sees us. What was it she told you the last time she saw us?"

"Shut up, Sam."

"Oh, yeah. Something about, 'If I ever see your wish brand Terminator looking ass -"

"Shut. up. Sam." Bucky snapped.

"Then I'll rip that Transformer's reject arm off and shove it up your ass." Sam continued through his laughter.

"I think I may like this woman." Zemo said sipping his champagne with a smirk.

Bucky just glowered out the window and Sam looked thoroughly pleased with himself with the torment he'd managed to provide Bucky in only a few short sentences.

"If I may.." Zemo started only to recieve a menacing glare from Bucky. "If she dislikes you so much what makes you think she'll be willing to help us?"

"Because Jess is easy to bribe." Sam said. "And you're going front the bill for it."

Zemo lifted his eyebrows, "Ah, I thought it would be more interesting. What's her price?"

"Probably some exotic plant that no one has ever fucking heard of and is impossible to get." Bucky sighed, running a hand down his face. "She'll let you know."

"If she doesn't shoot us before we get off the jet." Sam pointed out.

Sam wasn't scared of a lot but Jess McCarty was definitely on that list.

Even if he did find her highly entertaining.

"Oh and she hates Sharon." Bucky said staring our the window again. "So don't bring her up."

"I'm not ignorant enough to bring up another woman." Zemo said. "I was married, you know."

He had been teasing but none of them said anything else.

They weren't exactly on the best terms but even still they wouldn't bring up conversation relating to his late family.

Eventually, they landed in large field with a beautiful mountain landscape decorating the distance.

Helmut could distinctly see a large white truck in the distance.

"So much for easing into the situation." Sam said. "I see she still has Leroy."

"Leroy?" Zemo asked.

"Her truck." Bucky clarified. "Don't ask and don't bring up the bullet holes."

Sam snorted, "Yeah, I think she still owes you a few shots over that."

"Fuck off."

Zemo rolled his eyes at the two of them.

Even after all this time and how much he had become accustomed to their bickering ... it still both amused and annoyed him.

As the three of them descended the stairs of the jet, the slam of a door was heard in the distance.

A woman stepped out and leaned against the grill of the truck, blankly staring them all down.

She was tall, that much Zemo could tell even from a distance, with neck length dark hair that sprung from her head in a wild dark halo.

They'd managed to get about half way to her when she whistled and several dogs bounded from the bed of her truck.

"Fuck." Bucky whispered. "She brought the fucking dogs."

"You better run,"white wolf"." Sam said with a chuckle.

Half amused and half concerned.

"We." he responded. "I'm not the only one here."

"You state your fucking business, Barnes. Before I let them tear you part."

A smirk worked it's way onto Zemo's face as her venomous southern drawl that seemed to contrast so much to her appearance.

She was the picture of lovely.

She looked more like a fairy belonging to a magical woodland than someone associated with the Avengers.

Like a tall, curvaceous Elven queen.

"We need your help and we brought an ATM who has connections." Sam said trying to ease the tension.

She didn't seem impressed.

"I'm not asking again, Barnes. You got three seconds before I sick the hounds on you. And they're hungry. We've been into town passed the diner where they're having a fish fry. My babies are just dying for a snack. And if you even think about laying one hand on them, I'm turning that fucking arm of yours into a coat rack." she spat.

"God dammit, Jess. I told you we need your help. It's a mission and you're the only one who can-" Bucky started before she snapped her fingers and the dogs charged at him. "Shit!"

Realistically, Bucky could've ended those dogs in seconds but if he did, A.) she'd never help them, and B.) she'd make him suffer for it.

Buck let out some kind of strangled cry as he took off away from the dogs chasing after him.

Zemo, no stranger to the military and the dogs associated with it, noted that none of them actually looked as if they were going to harm him but rather just enjoying the chase.

Bucky didn't need to know that though.

"How long are you gonna let them chase him?" Sam chuckled as he and Zemo finally made their way closer to where she stood leaning against the truck.

Jess shrugged, "So what is it exactly that you need?"

"We just need your help with a mission." Sam said. "We can talk about the details later if you decide not to kill us."

She scoffed, "I'm not going to kill you, Sam. But I might maim Barnes a little. Enough to make me feel better."

She finally turned her eyes on Zemo who gave her a small smile.

"So you're the ATM?" she asked with lifted brows. "Do you have a name? Bank of..."

"This is Zemo." Sam said. "He's a Baron and he's loaded."

"Zemo." she nodded, dark brows drawing together.

"Please call me Helmut." he said producing a hand.

She took it firmly as she stared at him.

"Zemo..." she said almost tasting the word in her mouth. "That is so familiar."

Sam sighed, "Yes, it's that Zemo, Jess. And I know what you're thinking-"

"You have no idea what I'm thinking." she snapped, her eyes wretching themselves away from Helmut's soft dark eyes to meet Sam's endless pools.

"Jess.."

"No, you were not there and you do not know." she said as her skin and hair began to change color as her temper rose.

It was then that Helmut recognized just exactly who she was.

"You were there." he said. "In Sokovia."

Her eyes connected with his.

"Yes, I was." she said. "I was with the Avengers when we faced Ultron."

"You're the one that stayed." he said.

"Yes." she whispered.

"You are a hero among my people." he said. "Those of us that are left."

"I am no hero." she said turning away from him and whistling for the dogs who had chased Bucky up an old flagpole and were barking at him.

"There would be many more Sokovians dead if you had not stayed. We were not a large people to begin with and there are even fewer now. I know several who owe you their lives." Helmut said.

"They owe me nothing." she said. "And for the record, of course, I do not support the bombing but I also understand what it is like to be ridden with grief and confusion and anger when you have lost loved ones. Especially as someone who had lost their own children."

Helmut's eyes softened as he thought of his late wife and child and it was then that he recognized the same tendrils of heartbreak in the woman's eyes.

"For what it's worth, I destroyed my fair share of places in my grief." she said. "People will remind us of our faults as long as we live but what they say can never compare to the torture we inflict on ourselves."

Helmut said nothing, only nodded in understanding.

She turned to Sam with a sigh, "I will help you. But I am going to kick Barnes' ass for good measure."

"You sure you wanna go toe to toe with the Winter Soldier?" he teased her.

She lifted a brow, "He is just a man. A soldier. Like the both of you and I can assure that I am not scared of any of you."

"Well, he's not exactly..." Helmut said.

"Yes he is. He lives, he breathes, he bleeds." she cut him off. "And he shot my truck and kicked me off a building. So I atleast owe him a kick in the nuts."

Sam and Helmut dissolved into a fit of laughter as she whistled again and the pack of dogs came running before bounding into the bed of that beat up white truck.

She opened the door and slid into the driver's seat.

"Do you have a way to follow me? Other than by jet?" she asked through the open window. "Or do I need to drop the hounds off and come back?"

"It's already taken care of." Helmut said gesturing behind to the jet where Oeznik was pulling driving the car off the jet.

"Nice car." Jess said. "I still prefer Leroy though."

"Definitely a beauty." Helmut said. "A little rough around the edges but all wild things are."

Helmut gave her a soft smile to which she returned before speeding off.

"What the fuck was that?" Sam asked.

"What was what?" Helmut asked.

"You flirtin with her?" Sam said. "She will eat you for breakfast, man. And then shit you out and use you to fertilize her little poison garden. Don't go down that road."

"What road?"

Bucky had rejoined the conversation.

"Man, you run like a bitch." Sam laughed.

Bucky just stared at Sam in irritation.

"You couldn't even fight off a pack of dogs?" Sam teased. "One of them was a Yorkie, Buck."

"First of all, I told you that you can't call me that." Bucky said. "Second of all, if I so much as look at one of those dogs the wrong way you know she'll launch a missile at us."

Sam just snickered.

"Apparently, you have a 'kick to the nuts' coming your way." Helmut said and Bucky groaned.

"She is never going to forgive me." he said.

"Why exactly did you shoot her property and kick her off a building?" Helmut asked as they piled into the car.

There was a brief argument about the seat being moved up before Bucky answered.

"Look, the truck was an accident." he said. "It was just caught in the crossfire. And I only kicked her off the building because she was nearly insane."

"Weak logic, man." Sam laughed.

"You were there, asshole!"

"You could've tackled her to the ground."

"While she was trying to choke me to death with vines?"

Sam just laughed at Bucky's predicament while Helmut continued to ponder this woman.

He remembered what little footage there was of her.

After the battle with Ultron, Sokovia had been decemated and the Avengers had left them in the rubble.

In reality, they had tried to evacuate as many as possible.

With the help of Sokovia's own, The Maximoff Twins.

But when it was all said and done, Sokovia was left in the rubble and Earth's defenders just deserted them.

All but the one.

He'd seen the footage.

Shaky cellphone videos of the woman who transformed into animals to move the debris crushing people to death.

Or of how she was in the tents with the small group of survivors using her powers with plants to heal as many as she could.

She'd even tried to plant things and bring the country back to life before the government had basically laid waste to her work.

She'd been most popularly dubbed as Mother Nature by people across the globe but she never spoke in public or confirmed her name.

Helmut got the feeling that she didn't exactly like being apart of the Avengers and certainly did not enjoy the attention that went along with it.

He knew then that it had to have been her that cleared the bodies of his father, wife and son for when he found them among the dead that had been intricately encased in vines with flowers decorating them in the most beautiful way.

When he'd asked about it, he only been told that Mother Nature had stayed to help them.

He hadn't understood that at the time.

After the loss, all he could think of was revenged as grief consumed him.

By that time, she had long since left the Avengers and wasn't on his radar.

He'd never put two and two together.

Helmut drove for the longest time, the lamborghini speeding along the road as they followed the beat up white truck.

The pack of dogs all happily placed in the back, tongues flopping in the wind and tails wagging.

The further they trekked the wilder the country became and soon the hot rays of sunshine only beamed through the thick cover of vegetation above them.

The light through the leaves creating a green glow.

"I feel like Welcome to the Jungle should be playing right about now." Sam commented.

The finally broke through the tunnel of vegetation into a large property of rolling green field smattered with wildflowers and towering trees.

Garden beds and greenhouses were in the distances and horses could be seen grazing freely as chickens clucked around them.

Helmut noted that there were no fences, no pins, no coops for the chickens but instead all he wild life seemed to roam freely.

"Just forewarning you, there's probably a bear or moose around here somewhere." Bucky said. "But don't shoot it or we're dead."

"A bear?" Helmut asked. "She keeps bears as pets?"

"Don't call the animals her pets." Sam said with a smirk, "It pisses her off and as much as I would just love to see you get shot, it's not very practical at the moment."

Eventually they came to a stop behind the truck.

The pack of dogs all bounded out and took off in the direction of several little goats who seemed more than happy to play with them.

Helmut took in the home in front of him.

It was a beautiful home.

Simple in design but stunning in the sense that it seemed to be built around a tree.

"Come inside and have some tea." Jess said. "I'm going to need some if I'm going to listen to whatever utter bullshit you've gotten yourself into this time."

"Uh uh." Sam said with a shake of his head. "That is a lion. I am not going up there."

Jess narrowed her eyes at Sam as Helmut and Bucky looked around for what he was talking about.

Sure enough on the level there was a small balcony where the railing was absolutely littered with cats and a rather large mountain lion was sitting there watching them all with it's great luminous eyes.

"She's pregnant. Relax." Jess said ascending the steps, gently smiling at Helmut when he followed her without reservation.

"Like that's supposed to instill confidence." Sam said. "You ever been around a pregnant female? Hell no."

"I have been a pregnant female, Wilson. And I also very clearly remember the labor pain of having twins. So watch your mouth and come on. If she wanted to eat you she would've already done it. Though if you're so scared, just feed her Barnes. That should tide her over for a while." she said disappearing into the house with a chuckling Helmut behind her.

"This is your fault." Sam said shoving Bucky who only shoved him back.

"Shut up, Sam." he said before they continued up the stairs with Sam moving a little quicker as the cluster of felines watched him.

"I hate cats, man." he sad. "Fucking creepy."

Bucky snorted.

"What?"

"Nothin."

"What?"

"Just fitting that the bird is scared of a little kitty." Bucky teased.

Sam lifted his brows, "First of all, that was not a kitten. That was full on Lion King back there. And second of all, have you never seen Looney Toons. I'm not trying to be Tweety bird."

"Stop being a pussy and come on." Jess' voice rang out. "And shut the damn door. You're letting all the cool air out."

Sam and Bucky grumbled at each other before making their way into the kitchen to see Helmut sitting at the table already happily sipping a cup of tea.

"This is exquisite." Helmut complimented her. "What is it?"

"It's peach and apricot." she said pouring both Sam and Bucky a cup and leveling them both with a look that told them if they didn't drink it she'd strangle them.

"It's wonderful. Thank you." Helmut said.

"It was my daughters' favorites. Flora loved peaches and Fauna loved apricots. So to please them both my husband used to blend them together for their little tea parties. Along with little pieces of toast and jam."

She smiled into her own cup of tea but there was a sadness there that he recognized.

He chose not to remark on it and instead studied her features as Sam relayed the information as to why they were actually there in the first place.

"I've seen the Walker guy." she said. "It's unsettling to say the least. But you know I do the limelight, boys. I walked away from all of that when it became obvious that-"

"Jess." Bucky said. "Please. You don't have to talk to anyone. You don't have to-"

"People died. And not just in Sokovia. Yes, that was the final straw for me but it was happening long before that. I understand that 'earth's greatest heroes' or whatever are there to defend everyone. But no one ever stays around to see the carnage. No one talks about everyone who dies in the crossfire. I joined the avengers out of revenge. I was fueled by my anger and pain and I went on missions. How many have I ended up inadvertantly killing under this ruse of 'for the greater good'. I loved Steve to death but he took that shit to his heart and forgot to use his eyes." she said. "While everyone else is busy looking at the 'bigger picture' all of these other people who perhaps you don't know the names of are dying horrible deaths, boys. I pulled people from wreckage who had moment to live. People who's organs were crushed into nothing and they were rushing to give me messages to pass along to their families. Those people are the heroes and no one ever knows it."

The subject of Steve was a sensitive one for everyone but she had a point and they knew it.

She sighed as she looked down into her teacup again, "I will help you regarding John Walker. But I'm not blindly following orders anymore. I make my own decisions and when I'm done, I'm done and I don't want to hear anything about it when I go."

The three of them nodded even though she wasn't asking for permission.

"You want some more tea, love?" she asked Helmut who's heart fluttered a bit at the soft term of endearment.

"Please." he said watching as she methodically poured him another cup.

"I can not leave immediately." she said. "I have to take care of a few things first. But you are welcome to stay here if you wish."

"And if you're not afraid of the cat." she said, aiming it at Sam. "Tweety bird."

"I hate you." he said flatly and she only laughed.

"Her name is Cleopatra by the way. Or Cleo for short. And if you give her a can of tuna from that cabinet there then she'll be putty in your hands. If you rub her belly then she'll love you forever." she said. "She also seems to enjoy listening to Elvis Presley and laying in the sunlight. If that should interest any of you."

"Thanks, Jess." Bucky said sincerely.

"You're welcome." she said. "But I still owe you a beating."

He sighed, "Fair enough."

She left the table and meandered out onto the lower porch to stay at the horizon.

Sam and Bucky said nothing as Helmut followed her out there.

"Thank you." he said as he stared off in the distance as well.

"For what?" she asked. "The tea? You're welcome, dear. It was nothing."

"No." he said turning to look at her. "For what you did for the bodies. My father, wife and son were among the ones you uncovered. They told me it was Mother Nature. I never put it together but now I see."

She said nothing.

"I did it because it was what I would've liked for my own family." she said. "I'm just sorry I couldn't do it for everyone. I tried but there were so many that needed healing. I didn't have ti-"

"The people of Sokovia know that." he cut her off. "But as a son, a husband and a father, I'm thanking you for myself and also for everyone else."

She said nothing as they stared out at the trees.

"What happened to your family?" he asked her.

He knew, from first experience, how painful it was to talk about something like but he wanted to know.

"There was a bombing." she said. "My husband and I had taken my daughters to the museum to see the dinosaur exhibit. It was so wrapped up that day that it was nearly impossible to get food there. So we called in some food a couple of miles away at one of the girls' favorite resteraunts. He'd told me to go and get it and that they'd meet me by the water fountains and we'd have lunch. I was stuck in traffic for a good hour coming back when it hit. They'd called in an air strike because it was confirmed that an extremely dangerous terrorist was there. He'd been on the run for nearly a year from a foreign government and when it was confirmed what he had on him, I guess they decided it would be better to blow everyone there off the place of the planet that risk him setting it off and possibly destroying the world. I saw it hit, saw everything go up in flames before it the whole of everything just crashed into the ground. Like the whole word swallowed it whole." she said, voice shaking.

Helmut watched with rapt attention as she struggled to continue.

"I just jumped out of the car immediately and took off. Police were swarming and I got thrown this way and that but I got loose. My family was in there. My husband. My children. I dove head first into the crater not even thinking about self preservation or logic at all. There were no survivors of course but I didn't care. A mother can't just walk away like that. Or atleast I couldn't. I should've died on impact based on the fall but I didn't. About half way down gas released and I can just remember the burning. My skin felt like it was melting off. I was still falling through the air and my skin was searing hot, burning every nerve ending I had. And then I hit. When I woke up, I wasn't there anymore but I panicked because I was covered in vines. Wrapped up like a mummy in vegetation." she said, a dark chuckle coloring her tone.

Helmut shivered as a chill ran down his spine.

"The local authorities pulled me out when everything had been cleared and they began to sort through the wreckage. I'd been turned over to American government when they discovered my ID in my back pocket. They told me that it took forever for the police to get in because vines kept growing from everything I touched. Several of them were strangled to death as I lay down there unconscious. I was deemed dangerous and therefore put it a high security area. I was told a version of what happened that day and propositioned to join the Avengers. I was angry and grieving and I wanted to find out who murdered my children, my husband... so I accepted without hesistation. So when I tell you that I understand how you got to the point that you did... trust me. I get it."

Helmut said nothing as he reached out to take her hand.

"Perhaps, you and I are not so different." he said.

"Probably a lot more similiar than you think." she chuckled.

"Though I am not a goddess." he said with a small smirk.

"I'm no goddess." she said.

"Ah no?" he asked. "Not Mother Nature then?"

"Sure you can call me mother nature...of the current year where I've been poisoned by the human race and am genuinely fed up with life in general. Maybe Mother Nature's trailer trash cousin, Global Warming." she said and Helmut laughed at her in disbelief. "I can say trailer trash cause I am trailer trash."

Helmut shook his head in amusement.

He wasn't sure of anything in that moment but he was thankful for it and he hoped that perhaps his family was somewhere looking down on him.

He silently thanked them for allowing him to meet the one person who had stayed.

Mother Nature always found a way.

|ROLL DEEP|M| P.1

*Yoongi centered fic with a shared OT7 plot*

CH.1.1 CH. 1.2

**Operation: What’s eating blue!?***

_________________________________________________________

“Stop, this stopped being a you, thing and became a us thing the minute we chose to show up here tonight! You gave us an out and we stayed...we will always stay...”

1.2 K Sneak Peek

Pairing: Yoongi x OC

Genre: Sugar baby AU/Suspense/Smut/Angst/Roomate AU/FWB AU

WC: 7K

Nonsexual Warnings: Mentions of drug use (Molly/weed/)Strong language/ Alcohol addictions/ brief mentions/ speculations of domestic violence/abuse

Sexual Warnings: Oral (M & F receiving) power bottom Min Yoongi, cum play, breath play, spanking, dirty talk, Slight overestimation, sex toys (Cock rings....) Semi-public sex (A chill little blow job in the car) The sexual warnings are for both parts of CH.1 so the smut is split in half!

NOTE: Just to clarify the dynamic Yoongi and the OC are roommates who hookup on the side, they are BOTH sugar babies to two separate people! So yes, that would imply that Yoongi and some of the other boys who are also sugar babies are Bi. There is no MxM but there is mentions of it occasionally….as well as some harmless ot7 flirting! Also all of the boys are introed, Tae and Joon just play a lager part here!

_______________________________________________

I guess, fuck where do we even start? Maybe, will go back to where it all technically started, which was the last time things felt...somewhat normal yeah?

So, that would be...hmm...about 2 weeks shy of you heading into Junior year at USC right? The day your boys picked you up at the airport, and the three of your treated Blue, aka TaeTae to brunch!?

Well, wait let’s back track a little it all started much eariler than that, because you weren’t even aware of your brunch plans until later in the day. So Initially the day in question kicks of with you, in oversized blacked out CHLOE shades, hungover as fuck, sat in at the airport one Sunday afternoon. Smack dab in the middle of Terminal 6, in a bar called Blu2o sipping on a Bloody Mary, scrolling aimlessly through Snapchat. While simotaniously being told for the very first time ...that you’ll be attending a “Haute Couture” themed charity auction...on Tuesday! Yup, the day after tomorrow! Thank god he can’t see your damn face right now, biting down on your straw to muzzle yourself!

“No, babe it’s fine, I’ll just hit Rodeo tomorrow morning, and I’m sure my nail and lash girl can fit me-Oh you...haven’t gotten... what ...your wearing either?” Parroting the words back In slow motion as if it would make the words sound better or something!

Oh for fucks sake! Bringing your forehead flush to the marble bartop already feeling a full blown migraine brewing at the nape of your neck. Giving yourself a couple moments to self compose, this man is so damn unorganized it’s unfucking real. His personal assistant better be the 2nd highest paid person within his entire company because…..This is far from new, I don’t even know why your suprised and I’d say you don’t get paid enough for this....but ya do! So you suck it up, lose the attitude and slip right into your “Yes sir” or maybe I should say ‘Yes daddy” voice.

“Don’t worry about it, I know your busy. I totally get it, your a 28 waist right? Of course, I remember...I remember everything you tell me….Ohhh your gonna let me put you in color too???” Eyes flickering up to the notification from your bank, noting a cute little 12k wire pending.

“Yeah, no, I see it, that should be good. I was thinking Versace or Cavili for you anyway...they have good prints to fit the theme, and if all else fails I have my card too…yup..just landed about..hmm... 30 minutes ago actually. Of course, stop apologizing, Sunday's are always your golf days, I get it, hey, tell the guys I said hi and enjoy your day. Text me later if you feel up to it..k....bye..”

Were you actually getting a little flustered there towards the end? It's the slight accent, isn't it? Honestly, it didn't take much for you to slip into “character” with him, even after barely being together a full month. For one he wasn’t an asshole, had a decent sense of humor, and he’s really fuckin hot...however there was one, little, well shit, not so little issue...you noticed while with him recently. Which, then sparked quite a few questions while also answering some that had been rattling through your head since the day you met. But will circle back to the fact that you spent a week on vacation with a man, while dressed in some of the sexiest pieces of 2019 couture! Yet..you barely got touched once outside of a couple chaste kisses and hand-holding while at the two fashion shows you attended together… so, yeah, yeah!

A low groan in frustration rattled from your throat as you continued scrolling through Snapchat, trying to come up with some possible outfit scenarios in your head! It’s kinda funny, how mynute all of that seems now though, how your definition of “Stress” that day was you trying to decide if your sugar daddy was gay, while also finding time to fit in a self-care day, shopping, and getting your books for school!! The fact that, that was what you considered migraine worthy, fuck, what you wouldn’t give to consider multitasking your only maltitude of “stress” again …..

Just in your own little world, mind swirling with a couple of stylists you’ve met along the way, considering the idea of them pulling some vintage pieces for you instead! What you should be doing, is scrolling through your contact list and texting said stylists, instead you find yourself more and more distracted. Getting lost in the mounds of snap updates from Jimin as he “modestly” sunbathed in a private villa in Italy. Then later sharing a glimpse into his shopping spree from Versace, no doubt a good 20k worth of Italian luxury spread out along the plush white sheets. Sending him a cheeky little “That’s my boy” with a couple of smug winky faces in response!

It’s still kinda crazy to think, things like that are considered normal within your world now, the fact that you aren’t even surprised at the number of gifts. Or, simply the fact that your barley 21-year-old best friend is sunbathing in Italy on someone else’s dime. Then again, you just got sent 12 thousand dollars to spend on an event that would last maybe all of 5 hours, while sitting next to a stack of Louis Vuittion luggage from your first class flight in from Vegas, technically. Opting to land there first after a long 15-hour flight, checking in at The Four Seasons for not even a solid 24 hours before coming home! Honestly?There was no real reason for the pit stop except it gave you an excuse to see a friend while also allowing you to unwind in one of your favorite hotels!

That sentence alone is actually absurd when you really think about it, the idea of you casually booking flights and suites in 5-star hotels as if you’re ordering off the damn dollar menu at Mcdonalds! You, the girl that was working two jobs at the Groove and mourning a piece of shit cheating ex boyfriend her freshman year of college.....is now reminiscing about catching flights to chill with friends and last minute finding dresses for Couture themed galas.Like, what the actual fuck is life.... Oh my bad, life at the moment is constantly being paranoid that you and your friends will get arrested! Life in this moment however...was a fucking perfect!

The friend you where meeting in Vegas was Hoseok by the way, the redhead was currently vacationing in Sin City for the next couple of days, typically residing in LA as well. Just Chillin’ before the semester starts, living his best life, which revolves around “OFF-WHITE'' shopping sprees, private dance lessons, and constantly taking thirst trap pics for his 10’s of thousands of followers online. He randomly texts you saying “I miss your face” you text him saying “I land at 8 tonight bring a bottle and sushi to room 605 at The Four Seasons hotel '' Simple!

Your initial flight, the one that was 15 hours, was originally from Paris, where you spent the last week or so with Jeong-su, being arm candy, sipping wine, sightseeing and of course shopping!. Barley 32 hours ago your Snapchat looked pretty damn similar, if not worse in comparison to Jimin’s but what can I say, you can’t be in the home of Givenchy and Gaulthier and not go to Givenchy and Gaultier!

What your life is, what you and your friends do, I mean, I think it’s safe to say it’s pretty self-explanatory yeah? The average 20 something-year-old in college isn't flying themselves out of the country or going luxury shopping without a little help. In your case, it’s typically thanks to a person you commonly refer to as “Daddy” now, the context behind the word however….is where you and your friends may differ from others…..

But that’s your business, your concern and more importantly your choice, and honestly for a while life seemed too damn good to be true...I guess looking back on it now, I guess that’s because it kinda was!

Sat at the predominantly empty bar alone, more than content by the silence, twirling your straw between your lips, as you scanned back over the shit show that was your schedule for the semester! Getting more of a migraine from that, then shopping or even the fact that you're still hungover and drinking on an empty stomach at half-past 12. Shooting a quick text to your redheaded best friend cursing him out for getting you drunk off your ass on a bottle of Yamazaki 12.

“Can I get anything else for you beautiful? Another drink or maybe an appetizer? We have damn good loaded queso fries if I do say so myself!” Waving the menu in your face playfully, the warm, inviting voice in front of you was the bartender, who’s had his eye on you since you swayed in. Even if you looked like crap for your standards you knew to most you were the farthest thing from it as you swayed into the bar like you owned the place. In your heels, and tiny little black dress, while an airport assistant trolied in your luggage behind you! Ohhh Blair Waldorf would without a doubt be proud!

“Mmmm…” Lips pursed in a slight pout as you raked over the menu, honestly, you were hungry and they have bomb ass fried pickles…..”Actually, yeah, I’ll get-”

“ 3 tall shots of whatever top-shelf Tequila you have, also add whatever she’s been drinking to my tab, along with an order of fried pickles with extra ranch…please and thank you!” Smoothly sliding his black card, and ID across the marble bartop for review.

Oh.

The look on the bartender’s face was fucking priceless, torn between shitting himself and maybe….nah, just straight shitting himself! Skin flushed, the sense of panic was clear as day, wondering if he’d overstepped that fine line between customer service and filtration. Considering whoever the person behind you is, clearly knows you well enough to know your food order. A forced bashful smile playing along his lips as he bowed out in acknowledgment, sliding the gentelmen back is ID and whispering out a faint “Yes sir, coming right up…”

The base vibrating through your ears instantly had you readjusting your posture, a strong tingle running down your spine, back arching ever so slightly. A playful smirk playing along your lips as you slowly laced your tongue back around your staw, tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear.

“You sure you wanna do that? My tastes are pretty expensive..” Tone blatantly flirtatious, yet you still hadn’t bothered to even turn around, that’s when suddenly you hear a deep arrogant chuckle rumbling low in his chest. Only...this sounds a little brighter? And like it’s coming from your left instead of behind you…

“Mmm, I’m sure we can handle it baby….”

You could feel the air shift behind you, it felt warmer, and there was a strong mix of scents flooding through your nose. Leaning back in your seat, pleasantly finding your shoulders, the back of your neck, and your head, cradled against a lean wall of silk. Sighing contently, naturally letting your body melt into his frame, nose running into your face as you smiled so hard your cheeks hurt. That’s when a gangle of veiny, porcelain limbs wrapped around your shoulders pulling you even tighter against him, only to find brown, sharp, cat-like eyes staring down at you, though a pair of translucent designer shades. Seemingly a little bit amused at how excited you are to see him. Long dark wavy locks falling messily into his face, a tiny silver hoop dawning his button nose. Tongue playing at the corner of his mouth, letting the tiny silver ball slip between his lips. This angle lets you really appreciate how sharp, yet soft his features were, an oxymoron that honestly makes no damn sense unless you see him in person….jawline sharp enough to cut glass yet he has the cutest cheeks ever when he smiles. It honestly makes no sense whatsoever and he’s one of the many reasons you have trust issues. Well, that and your line of work, considering the number of men you find out are married and still try and sneak around with you.

Then, as if to just make his presence known, there’s another pair of hands making their home along your body, gently squeezing your thigh. Except, he’s polar opposite to the person I just described, the man behind you is your roommate Yoongi, the man who just took a seat to your left, is your other roommate Namjoon! First off, he’s tall as all hell, and an offensively perfect shade of brown, he can’t even go into the burbs without being asked what self-tanner he uses. In which he smugly replies “Genetics” letting them sit there and try and google said company that makes that brand of self-tan. Streams of meticulously placed colored neo-traditional tattoos paint his skin, accompanied by deep dimples, and bleach blonde hair styled into an undercut, sides buzzed into the perfect fade.

“So you gonna get up and give me a real hug or what???” Placing a kiss in your hair as he pulled back, giving you room to hop out of your seat and right into his arms.

The Full thing is coming soon, this is from summer 2019, I just have to edit, and reread the full thing again! I also wrote the first 3 parts all at once..sooo if your exicted show this some love anddddddddd come let me know!

Love you as always,

T.S.A. Agents Refuse to Work During Shutdown, Raising Fears of Airport Turmoil https://nyti.ms/2H8eBbF

T.S.A. Agents Refuse to Work During Shutdown, Raising Fears of Airport Turmoil

By Patrick McGeehan | Published Jan. 11, 2019 | New York Times | Posted January 11, the 2019 |

The partial shutdown of the federal government is starting to affect air travel as a growing number of security agents are refusing to work for no pay.

So far, however, the impact on air travelers has been relatively limited with no significant disruptions. But airport workers and travelers are concerned that conditions will worsen if the impasse continues, throwing travel into turmoil.

At least one airport, Miami International Airport, will start closing one terminal early each day, starting on Saturday, because of a shortage of screeners employed by the Transportation Security Administration, said Greg Chin, an airport spokesman.

Mr. Chin said agents had been calling in sick at double the normal rate this week, leaving their supervisors worried that they will not have enough agents to operate all of the airport’s 11 security checkpoints.

T.S.A. officials were conferring Friday with airline executives and airport managers to decide whether they might need to consolidate screening operations at any other airports to cope with heavier passenger traffic over the weekend, said Michael Bilello, a T.S.A. spokesman.

The nation’s 51,000 airport security agents are among the federal employees who have been ordered to work through the partial shutdown, which began on Dec. 22.

On Friday, they missed their first paycheck since it started, a lapse that their union leaders feared would cause more of them to stop showing up for work or even to quit their jobs.

Hydrick Thomas, president of the T.S.A. Council of the American Federation of Government Employees, said this week that “extreme financial hardship” had driven some of his members to resign and many others to consider doing so.

The agents earn about $35,000 a year, on average, union officials said. “We have people that work from paycheck to paycheck and there’s quite a few of them,” said Vincent R. Castellano, national vice president for the union’s second district, which encompasses the Northeast.

Near Raleigh-Durham International Airport in North Carolina, a church-sponsored food pantry has been delivering food to T.S.A. workers, said Jessica Whichard, a spokeswoman for the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. Ms. Whichard said the White Oak Foundation had requested more food than usual from the food bank so that it could distribute some of it to the airport workers.

The workers, many of them still in their T.S.A. uniforms after finishing their shifts, showed up to collect food at a makeshift pantry the foundation set up in a parking lot near the airport, said Kathleen Lee, director of services for the foundation. She said the foundation would continue offering food to federal employees twice a week at the White Oak Missionary Baptist Church in Cary, N.C., for “as long as necessary.”

Ms. Lee said the workers were not sheepish about accepting the handouts. She said that one of them told her, “If I’m getting free groceries then I can pay my light bill.”

Despite the shutdown and the hardships it is causing security agents, federal officials said that passengers had not faced any major problems navigating security checkpoints.

Following the holiday rush, the air travel industry is entering a period where the number of people flying is generally lower than during other parts of the year.

But if the shutdown persists, the worry among industry officials is that agents will face pressure to find paying jobs elsewhere, leading to staffing shortages.

Security officers at airports around the country were already expressing increasing anxiety about their financial plight.

“It is getting harder to come every day and know that you’re not getting paid, but it’s my job, and I knew when I started this job that this was potentially going to happen,” said a 37-year-old woman who is a screener at Los Angeles International Airport. “So I’m going to come in, but if there is any other reason that I have to call out, I’m not going to hesitate to do it.”

Like many other screeners interviewed for this article, she declined to be identified because she said she had been warned against talking to journalists.

“It’s difficult to budget things like food, or knowing which bills to pay, when you simply don’t know when you’ll have money again,” said a 29-year-old man who works for the T.S.A. at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.

He said that he had contacted his banks, mortgage company and other creditors but none of them had a program to help in his situation. The Department of Homeland Security distributed letters for its employees to show to landlords, explaining that they “are unlikely to be able to pay for their housing for the foreseeable future,” but they have been of little assistance, he said.

So he was resigned to having to run up the balances on his credit cards and pay interest on the debt, he said, adding that in the meantime, he was looking around the house for things that he could sell quickly on eBay.

At O’Hare, he said, “Our policies and screening procedures aren’t being done any less thorough, but it’s likely they may take longer the more officers we become short.”

Federal officials have downplayed the effects of the partial shutdown on travelers. Michael Bilello, a spokesman for the T.S.A., has been using Twitter to report how long it is taking to get through security checkpoints. On Friday morning, he said that the maximum wait time at Newark Liberty International on Thursday was 36 minutes but at Boston Logan International it was just 7 minutes.

David P. Pekoske, the administrator of the T.S.A., said in a statement on Thursday: “I am connected to the field & fully understand the strain our employees & their families are experiencing. Yet, due to the commitment & resolve of the TSA work force, the traveling public has confidently traveled securely around the clock as high-level of travel volume indicate.”

No other major airports have announced plans to take the sort of action that Miami International has planned. Mr. Chin said that the airport would close Concourse G at 1 p.m. on Saturday through Monday and divert the flights that would normally leave from there to another concourse. He described that shift as a precaution “just in case the number of call-outs increases.”

A spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the three major airports that serve New York City, said those airports had continued to operate normally during the shutdown.

One transportation security officer on a meal break in Terminal 2 at Kennedy International Airport this week said that his co-workers were still showing up to work and quietly enduring the uncertainty.

“It’s like you feel that silent tension that’s going to build up later on,” said the officer, a two-year veteran who lives in Queens and takes care of his parents. He said he could manage without a paycheck for now, but a shutdown lasting months or longer would be another matter.

“If it continues for a year, then the question is can you survive?” he said. Eventually, he suggested, he and his co-workers might start having to choose between food and shelter — and probably would cut back on food first.

“Can I do the job without nutrition? Somebody has to answer that,” he said. “If 52,000 people have to work without nourishment, can the job get done?”

He said health care was another worry because a lot of the agents take prescription medications. “How long can we go forward when it actually affects your fundamental needs?” he said.

For now the plan was to keep showing up. “I’m not taking my vacation next week,” he said. “I have to come, which I will, because I’m under oath, so I’m going to do that.”

Christmas Angels - Chapter 1

AN – My dad didn’t grow up with very much. About 10 years ago, he decided he didn’t want my husband and me to pay the money to ship a gift halfway across Canada to his door. Instead, he wanted us to donate what would have spent on his gift to a children’s charity. He does the same for us. Thus began our annual tradition of choosing gifts for needy kids off the angel tree at our local mall. This story is inspired by our tradition. And by my Peeta, who has become so invested in the project that he motivates his students at the business college where he works to purchase gifts as well. Over the last three years about 300 kids have benefitted from their work.

——-

December 16

The incessant beeping of the back alarm is making my skin crawl, but I still manage to get the cargo van aligned with the receiving doors at the back of the little bakery in Panem’s downtown. When they finally disappear from sight in my side mirror, I shift the van into neutral and set the parking brake.

Normally, I’m busy packing hampers during my Saturday volunteer shift at the Seam Street Food Bank, but Mags, the manager, had been frantic this morning. Haymitch, her usual truck driver had called in sick, which really meant drunk. Without him, Mags had no one to pick up the Saturday donations. So, I’ve been spending my time, backing up to door after door as Panem’s local restaurants and grocery stores pass on perfectly good food that they’d just be tossing in the trash because it’s not quite as fresh as their customers demand.

Had it not been for the food bank a few years ago, I’d have been digging through the dumpsters of every one of these establishments, trying to put enough food on the table to keep my little sister and I fed. My mother was a lost cause, too busy spending our meagre welfare cheque on booze to make sure we got something to eat. I guess I was just lucky Mags didn’t ask questions the first time I went into the old warehouse on Seam Street and signed up for a hamper. Or she’d seen it so many times that she knew reporting my situation to the authorities was likely to make my life worse instead of better. Either way, she and her food bank saved me and my sister. Every Saturday since I got a job and got out on my own, I’ve spent a little time packing hampers, trying to pay her back for what she did for me.

The holidays are the busiest time of year at the food bank. Not because there are suddenly more poor people. It’s just that all of the sudden, the not-so-poor people decide they need to give more to charity to make up for the ridiculous amounts they’re spending on stuff they don’t need. Mags makes sure to stow away the canned goods and frozen foods for the lean months in February and March when everybody’s credit card bills have rolled in and they’re too pinched for cash to remember that human beings need to eat every day and not just at Christmas.

I take a quick glance at the list on the clipboard Mags gave me. Mellark’s Bakery. Well, it looks like I’m in the right place. I guess the baker must have made too many cookies this week. Or some bread is about to go stale that can’t be sold to paying customers. Our clients won’t complain. Slightly stale bread toasts just fine. Throw on some peanut butter for protein and you’ve got a happy, reasonably well-fed kid. I snatch up the receipt book, just in case the baker wants one for his unsalable goods, and do a quick check in the rearview mirror. Can’t represent the food bank with something stuck in my teeth. I stare back at my reflection. My grey eyes look clear. My braid is neat. Nothing stuck between my teeth. Since I don’t look like I’ve been hit by the ugly stick, I jump down from the cab, my breath swirling in the crisp, winter air.

The sound of my hiking boots crunching on the packed snow echoes through the alleyway as I make my way to open the van before banging on the bakery’s back door. I only have to give a few swift knocks before I hear someone snapping open the locks on the other side of the door. The door swings wide and I’m face to face with the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen, set in one hell of a handsome face topped by wavy blonde hair. That face is the picture of surprise at the moment. I guess the baker was expecting Haymitch.

“I’m from the food bank?”

The eyes blink twice and then he manages to flash me a blinding smile full of straight white teeth. “Oh! Great! I’m Peeta Mellark.” He sticks out his hand. “I’m glad you’re here.” I wait for him to open the door to let me in, but instead he steps outside. He’s still in his shirt sleeves, but he doesn’t seem cold. “They’re up in the apartment,” he says, as though that explains something I should already know. He starts climbing a wooden staircase that runs between the bakery door and a second door. He stops about halfway up. “Aren’t you coming?”

“Into your apartment?” I wait for him to figure out why that’s not on.

He reddens a bit and rubs his hand over his hair, making it stand up in spots. “I’m not a creep, I swear. I mean, I was expecting a guy. She said Haystack, or something, was coming to pick them up.”

I guess he’s got a point, but I’m stubborn. “Not today. Can’t you just bring whatever it is down?”

He sort of laughs. “Why don’t you just come and see for yourself?”

I can’t help it. I’m not exactly a shrinking violet and he’s piqued my curiosity as to what this is all about, so I huff and start stomping up the steps behind behind him. He leads the way, which gives me a close up view of his very fine ass, nicely rounded underneath his shapeless white pants. I don’t have long to admire the view, however. In less than a minute, we’re standing at the top of the stairs and he’s opening the door to the apartment. We step inside and I immediately understand the problem. Every surface of the apartment is covered in brightly wrapped packages topped with shiny bows. Each package also sports an angel-shaped tag, bearing the a child’s first name and their Christmas wish.

Every year, the food bank encourages its clients to make a wish for each of their children on one of those tags and they’re hung on a Christmas tree in the mall. Shoppers pick them up off the tree, and then return the gift to the food bank. I can’t say for sure, but by my estimation, this guy has single-handedly fulfilled the wishes of at least 100 kids who wouldn’t be getting anything for Christmas otherwise. I should know, I wrote my little sister’s name on those tags every year and then crossed my fingers for the kindness of strangers.

“How many?” I blurt out. The real question is why he did it, but that question seems a little too personal to be asking someone I just met.

“One hundred and forty-two,” he tells me, and if there’s a trace of pride in his voice, I don’t hear it..

I’m not sure why this stop was last on my list. The old cube van is already about half full with my other pick-ups. Mags must have known what I was picking up here. There’s no way she wouldn’t have noticed one person had committed to granting so many angel tree wishes. “I can get about half of them in the van now,” I tell him. “I’ll have to come back for the rest.”

The guy, I think he said his name was Peeta, nods quickly and sweeps a pile from the table top into his arms. I grab another pile off a nearby couch and we start back down the stairs. He holds the door and I lead the way down the stairs, finally stopping in front of the open van to load in the presents.

I realize then, that in order to load the van properly, one of us is going to have to wait inside the van to stack the gifts while the other brings them downstairs; otherwise, we’ll be climbing in and out of the van all afternoon.

Peeta recognizes the problem at the same moment. He puts down his load of gifts and gives me a bright smile. “I’ll go for the next load, while you pack these. Deal?”

“Sure.” I climb into the van and begin sorting the presents into piles. I decide to use the larger ones to form a base layer and set the small ones off to the side where they won’t get damaged.

Before long, Peeta returns with another armload. “Here are some more, um-” I can feel the corners of my mouth turning up I as gather the stack into my own arms, but a little wrinkle forms between his brows. “I don’t think I actually got your name.”

“Katniss,” I tell him, going back to playing Tetris with the gifts. I suppose it’s rude not to introduce myself properly. “Katniss Everdeen.”

“Katniss?” He sounds surprised and I tense, waiting for him to react to the unusual name my father chose for me. “Like the plant? Nice.”

I give him a quick look and he’s sporting a little smile with just the right touch of shyness, that makes it impossible to look away. “You know what a Katniss plant is?”

He shrugs. “Sure, I’m a baker. I have a book of all different sorts of plants. I sculpt flowers for wedding cakes all the time.”

I think of the simple blossom on my namesake plant. “Can’t be much call for Katniss cakes.”

His hand rubs against the back of his neck and I wonder if he’s getting cold. He’s still not wearing a coat. “No, but I flip by it all the time on my way to the lilies.” I nod in understanding and his hand falls to his side. “I’ll just, ah, get some more presents.” He shuffles away and I crawl out of the van to make more room. After a couple more loads, it’s as full I as I feel is safe. I slam the van’s rear doors closed.

“I’ll be back,” I tell him, and he’s just goofy enough to reply with a Terminator impression. I can’t help but laugh. “Give me an hour and we’ll get the rest of them loaded up.”

A few minutes later, I’m driving back through the city, once again grinding my way through the gears of this old van and hoping it holds together long enough for me to finish the gift delivery.

Mags meets me in the loading bay of the food bank. She gives me a cheery wave when I jump down from the van. I don’t know how the older woman manages to maintain such a positive attitude when she spends day after day in this place with all she has to deal with.

“You should have warned me about what was at the bakery,” I complain as I open the van doors.

Mags rolls her eyes and waves me off. She had a stroke last year and while she gets around just fine with the help of a cane, she lost her ability to speak.

“I’m serious, Mags, I would have done things differently had I known.”

The old woman holds up two fingers.

“I know I would have had to make two trips anyway, that’s not my point.”

Mags crooks her finger at me, indicating I should follow and heads for the doors. Her long grey hair is tied up today and trailing over her back. She stops on the threshold and points at two teenagers lounging against the building, cigarettes smouldering between their fingers, their expensive brand name jackets hanging open. They’re not clients. Mags never says, but we often have this type around the food bank. Working off their court appointed community service, I presume. She snaps her fingers at them and then points at the van. Marvel and Cato, at least I think that’s their names, put out their cigarettes and slouch off to do her bidding.

The warehouse is a hive of activity. Effie Trinket’s shrill voice carries from the back right corner. Effie’s been a food bank volunteer for as long as I’ve been coming here. With brassy gold hair that can’t possibly be real and sporting more makeup than any woman ought to wear, Effie is a force to be reckoned with. She’s managing the angel tree program this year, and from the looks of things, she’s got everything organized to the enth. Mags waves to Effie on her way to her office and gets a cheerful greeting in return. We pass rack after rack of shelving units. The macaroni and cheese section looks particularly loaded down right now. The tables where volunteers pack the hampers that go home with the clients are nearby. On the left, near the front doors, Chaff and Seeder are in the soup kitchen prepping for today’s hot meal, like they do every Saturday.

Mags’ office is in a closet-sized space near the front doors. I think it was where the factory workers used to punch in before heading out onto the floor to work. She snatches a small whiteboard off her desk.

So you met Peeta?

“Yes, Mags, I met him.”

Handsome.

She can say that again. “Yeah, I guess.”

Mags’ eyes are dancing as she erases her board. My second favourite volunteer, she scrawls.

Seriously? If cheerful, kind – and okay, yes, gorgeous – Peeta Mellark, with his sky blue eyes and sexy jaw is her second favourite volunteer, who would qualify as her favourite?

“He volunteers here? How come I’ve never seen him around?”

Mags shakes her head and picks up her marker again. He’s here on Thursdays. Soup kitchen. She holds the board up so I can read it. When I nod in understanding, she erases it and starts over. Always a long line for his cooking.

I snort. “Figures.”

Mags chuckles and erases her board again. Lots of women here on Thursdays.

This conversation is annoying. “Well, I should go see if those two slackers have got the van unloaded. I told your favourite volunteer I’d be right back.”

Mags shakes two fingers in my direction. “Right,” I recall. “Second favourite. Be back soon, Mags.”

She waves me off. When I come back into the main room, I find Effie practically having an orgasm over Peeta’s wrapping job.

“Oh Katniss,” she enthuses. “So few people appreciate that it’s the little things that make the difference. A child in need has as much need to be recognized as someone special as anyone else, to know that someone cares enough to make things nice for them. Oh!” She wipes a tear from her eye and holds up a brightly wrapped package topped in a hand-tied scarlet bow. “Look at this! It’s a work of art.”

Clearly, Effie Trinket has no idea what a ‘child in need’ actually needs, but I decide to let it slide since her heart is in the right place.

“Pretty,” I agree. “Well, I better go get the rest of them.”

“There’s more?” Effie is truly beside herself now. “Oh Katniss, think of the children!”

I shoot Effie a grimace wrapped in a smile, shake the keys to the van at her and head for the back door. The layabouts seem to have found a new hiding spot, at least but the van is empty. I fire it up and head back across town.

I’ve barely backed up to the bakery and Peeta is throwing open the door, a delighted smile on his face. As I approach, I see that his blue eyes are twinkling.

“You’ve got perfect timing,” he calls as I open the back door of the van. “I’ve just flipped over the closed sign for the day.”

Now that I know this guy has Mags’ seal of approval, I’m more than ready to help him carry the gifts down from the apartment.

I start for the stairs, but Peeta appears in the bakery doorway, his arms full of gifts. I notice a blue and silver bow and envision Effie’s reaction. I don’t realize I’m scowling until he does a double take and shrugs good-naturedly. “I brought them down already. I thought it would save time.”

I hold out my arms and he passes the load off to me to stow in the van. The process goes much more smoothly with an empty van and we are soon moving swiftly past each other to pack the parcels inside. Well, I’m moving swiftly. Peeta seems to be limping.

“Hold up,” My hand closes around his rock-hard biceps. Who would have thought a baker would have arms like that? “Are you okay?”

His brow furrows. “Sure. Why?”

I give his leg a pointed look.

“Oh, he says. “Old injury. It gets aggravated when I overdo it.” He turns his back and shuffles back into the bakery kitchen.

I want to kick myself. Of course that’s why he asked for our van and needed help bringing them down the stairs. Thanks to me, this poor guy has made about 50 trips up and down the stairs today that he didn’t need to make.

“You should have told me,” I grumble as we sweep the last of the gifts into our arms and head back outside.

He stops and gives me an odd look as he stands at the van doors. “Crawling on my knees in the van wouldn’t have been any better for it Katniss. And I’m the one who decided to bring the rest down. You didn’t ask me to do that.”

I put my load down. “Because I balked at going upstairs.”

Peeta stows his pile. “Well, that was a little of it. Mostly, I was hoping to save a little time.”

I’m still frowning when I slam the van doors closed, but Peeta has his hands in his pockets and a slight smile on his lips. His wavy blonde locks have fallen into his eyes and he reminds me of little boy trying to charm himself out of trouble.

“Have you got a few minutes? I make the best hot chocolate in town.”

I check my watch, but it’s not like I have to hurry back. The food bank will be open for hours yet, and it might be Saturday, but I don’t have any plans this evening. So, I shrug and agree.

Peeta’s smile transforms into a toothy grin and he leads the way back into the bakery. The kitchen is spotlessly clean. Every stainless steel surface is sparkling and while the ovens are clearly off. The heat in here is a startling difference from being outside for the last half hour. No wonder Peeta was loading gifts in his shirt sleeves.

He leads the way out into the cheerful storefront and moves toward an espresso machine where he heats the milk. Before long, two piping hot chocolates are steaming away in colourful mugs on the counter.

“The secret,” he confides, “is in the quality of the chocolate and real whipped cream.” He pulls a little container from the fridge. “Chocolate I grated this morning,” he explains as he sprinkles it on top. He passes me a mug and waves me toward a couple of cafe tables set up under a colourful painting not far from the cash. Once we’ve settled in, he smiles at me and holds up his mug, “to a job well done.”

With a hear, hear, I clink my mug against his. I take a sip of the hot chocolate and don’t quite manage to stifle a groan. “You’re right,” I tell him. “This is the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had.”

Peeta smiles brightly at me and then chuckles. He leans across the table. “You have a little…” He flicks my nose and holds up his finger. A little blob of whipped cream sits on the pad. He pops it in his mouth and grins.

I don’t know whether to laugh or scowl, but I feel a blush stealing across my cheeks so choose the latter.

He laughs. “I can’t help but tease you, Katniss. Your reactions are priceless.”

“And here I was thinking you might be one of the good guys.”

He puts his mug on the table and watches as it spins it between his fingers. “I try to be. My dad always said being a good man was the most important thing I could do with my life.”

I recognize the tone. “When did you lose him?”

“This past summer,” he sighs and rubs his hands on his thighs before sitting back in his chair. “Cancer.”

“The first Christmas is rough,” I tell him, sipping my hot chocolate and taking care to wipe my nose. “It’s never easy, but it gets a little less hard every year.”

He leans forward. “Did you lose your dad?”

I nod. “Hunting accident.” It hurts even now to think of what happened, but I’ve had years of practice at disguising my feelings about it. My father was a hunting guide part-time to make extra money for our family. He was leading a group of guys from the Capitol out on a deer hunt. One of the idiots forgot to turn the safety on his gun. He got over-excited, mishandled the weapon and it went off. My dad got shot in the chest and he bled out before they could get him out of the woods. Our family was never the same after that.

“I’m sorry,” Peeta offers, and for once, I know that it isn’t a platitude. He understands exactly what it feels like to lose a parent.

“Thanks,” I tell him. “I’m sorry for your loss too.”

“This whole gift thing was about him,” he confesses. “He was a big supporter of the food bank and the angel tree was really important to him. Each year he would take my older brothers and me to the mall. We each picked an angel off the tree and then Dad would take us shopping to fulfill the wish. He said it was our gift to him.”

“Too bad there weren’t more people like your dad,” I remark. Peeta and I are about the same age. I wonder if he or his brothers ever took Prim’s angel off the tree.

“He was special,” Peeta agrees, and takes a sip of chocolate, watching me over the rim of the mug. “Once I grew up, we stopped buying gifts for each other and just did the angel tree. My brothers live out west and they do the same thing.” I don’t know what to say to that. I volunteer every week at the food bank, but this level of generosity is beyond what we usually see, even there, so I just nod and sip the rich nectar in my hand. “This year, it just seemed so incredibly sad that we wouldn’t do it together, I decided I needed to do something to honour him.”

“Well, you definitely did that. I’m sure he’d be very proud of you.” The words burst from me, and I cringe inside at my unusual burst of sentimentality, but Peeta accepts my words graciously, his cheeks a little pinker than they were minutes before. “Seriously, Peeta, you’ve made a huge donation. I’ve never seen anything like it from a single person.”

He shrugs. “I didn’t pay it all out of pocket. I held a silent auction here in the bakery. Told people what I was doing in memory of Dad. It was just way more successful than I imagined.”

I can just imagine the long list of bids on the auction items. There’s no doubt of my mind that Peeta could charm people into parting with their hard-earned money.

I raise my mug to my lips only to find it empty and the corners of my mouth turn down in disappointment.

“I guess I should get going,” I sigh as I rise from the table, pushing away the urge to linger. “Thank you for the hot chocolate.” He waves that off as though it were nothing. “And on behalf of the food bank, thank you for your donation.”

“My pleasure,” he replies, “on both counts.”

He collects the mugs and once we make our way into the kitchen, I head for the delivery door zipping up my jacket and adjusting my scarf. It’s really going to suck to have to climb into that frigid truck after the warmth of bakery.

“Hey Katniss?”

I whip around to find Peeta massaging his neck, a shy smile on his rugged features. “Do you want to, uh, exchange numbers?” I’m so distracted by the butterflies winging around in my chest that I forget to answer. He begins to backpedal. “I mean, don’t feel obligated or anything. But I feel like we made friends today. But I won’t be hurt if you don’t want-”

Friends. Of course he just wants to be friends. Why would a guy like him be interested in me? The butterflies come back to Earth and I pull my phone out of my pocket. “What’s your number?” The smile returns to his face and he rattles it off while I punch it in. I type a quick ‘It’s Katniss’ and press send.

When his phone chimes a second later, he pulls it from his pocket. “There you are,” he says with a smile and with some quick flicks, adds me to his contacts. “You’ll be sick of me in no time.”

Thank you @burkygirl!!!

The Defi Revolution is Economy 3.0

There is a global revolution happening right now and it’s happening so fast that unless you are explicitly told about it, it will very likely remain entirely invisible to you. The only inklings you may have that something is happening is headlines mentioning Bitcoin and another COVID-19 stimulus package. This revolution didn’t start this year or even last but it has accelerated so dramatically the past three months that it is clear that we have approached a tipping point. This global revolution that I speak of concerns the very nature and mechanics of the worldwide economy. This revolution is being fueled by digital assets, programmable money, and distributed autonomous organizations. What we are witnessing unfold before our very eyes is nothing less than the complete reimagining of human organization, industry, and trade. What we are witnessing is the birth of Economy 3.0.

Convergence

At the macro scale, this revolution was inevitable if the trend line of human industry and innovation was to continue along the line it was traversing. Old companies like Harley-Davidson, Prada, and Whirlpool took almost a century to reach the 1 billion dollar valuation. More modern companies like Mattel, Nike, and Starbucks did it in a quarter of the time. Then we saw the emergence of internet companies like Evernote and PayPal do that in less than ten years. As the Internet got more established and the network effect took a stronger hold, purely digital companies like Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube reached billion-dollar valuations in less than 2 years. Then Jet.com, a shopping website, did that in four months because of its unique pricing algorithm. Now, with the advent of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and tokenized organizations we are seeing companies reach unimaginable valuations on the scale of hours, minutes, and seconds.

Bancor: $153 million in 3 hours

Aragon: $25 million in 15 minutes

Gnosis: $12 million in 10 minutes

SingularityNet: $36 million in 60 seconds

Brave: $35 million raised in 30 seconds

See: Fastest IPO’s and ICO’s

Genesis

Let’s take a few steps back and see how we got here because if you understand the pattern, none of what is happening is a surprise. As soon as anything becomes digital and programmatic, will begin to accelerate in its development at exponential speeds. Ray Kurzweil has talked about and documented this at length. Seen is this way, the genesis of this economic digital metamorphosis started in the late ‘80s.

As soon as anything becomes digital and programmatic, will begin to accelerate in its development at exponential speeds.

In 1987 the world had its first electronic stock exchange, the NASDAQ terminal. Traders could now type orders directly into a computer. A trader named Thomas Peterffy didn’t want to type in the orders so he and his engineers hacked into the NASDAQ terminal such that it could be wired directly to their own computer, which traded automatically based on algorithms. A senior NASDAQ official saw Peterffy’s setup and said Peterffy was breaking the rules: All orders had to be entered through the keyboard. He gave Petterfy’s group one week to fix the problem.

Peterffy and his engineers came up with a solution. They built a mechanical robot with rubber fingers that typed entries into the keyboard. It’s reported that the inspector stormed out of the room upon seeing the hulking machine but it technically satisfied the NASDAQ rules. Traders said that on active trading days, the robot typed so fast that it sounded like a machine gun. Peterffy became the father of digital trading and this in turn would pave the way for algorithmic and high-frequency trading. He would write code in his head during the trading day and then apply his ideas to computerized trading models after hours. See: The Man Behind Computerized Stock Trading

In the following years, the stock market would become dominated by algorithmic trading and the majority of all currency would have its existence in digital form. But the key differentiator here that cannot be missed is this. What was being traded were records of ownership, not the actual assets themselves. But all that would change in the next advent of this saga in 2009 with the invention of the world’s first digitally scarce resource, Bitcoin.

Digital Currency

The fundamental innovation that occurred with the invention of Bitcoin was the invention of digital scarcity. The very notion that I could have something digital and send some of it to you suck that my supply is reduced is so entirely novel and unthinkable that the vast majority of the world doesn’t even realize that such a thing exists. In fact, the world is only in the past few months waking up to the reality of cryptocurrency while the actual crypto ecosystem has already moved far beyond that.

“I think the internet will be one of the major forces for reducing the role of government. The one thing that’s missing, but that will soon be developed, is a reliable e-cash. A method whereby on the internet you can transfer funds from A to B, without A knowing b or B knowing A.” — Milton Friedman, Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences

In the past three months, politicians, big tech, banks, credit cards, Penn stock exchanges are feverishly jumping on the bandwagon with the Model T of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. All the publicity and institutional investments have driven the price of Bitcoin up but it's nothing compared to what’s happening at the bleeding edge of the 3.0 Economy. And this is nowhere near the height of where things are going. It’s just getting started and the difference between this revolution and the revolution that was the internet is that this one can’t be controlled.

“In terms of adoption, Bitcoin has roughly the same users as the internet had in 1997. The big ones growing faster. Next four years on the current path will bring Bitcoin users to 1b people, that’s the equivalent of 2005 for the Internet” — Willy Woo, Twitter

Decentralized Finance

Some very smart people realized that if you could have a decentralized currency, why not decentralized programs, and why not use those programs to move cryptocurrency around according to programmable rules called smart contracts? And why not create all the same instruments and entities that exist in the classical world of finance within these smart contracts? What I just described is what’s happening in Decentralized Finance (Defi) and it has grown to 40B just during the pandemic and it shows no signs of slowing. In fact, a person can barely keep track of the proliferation of new competing and complementary Defi protocols and instruments. Far from losing steam, Ethereum, the most active of the blockchains being used for Defi is readying an update that will dramatically reduce transaction fees thus inviting even more participants in the ecosystem.

A new wave of financial innovation is upon us. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) provides the solid foundation for new financial services that are so powerful and advantageous that we will soon look back on them and question how we ever operated without them. — Nasdaq

Governments will surely flex their muscles and attempt to regulate the 3.0 Economy, but the question is whether they will outpace the technical development of this ecosystem. The UK government has said that it’s going to release rules for how cryptocurrencies will be governed in 2022 but that might as well be 20 years in Defi time. Technologies like decentralized exchanges, the interplanetary file system, and the Ethereum naming system are being used to rebuild the internet in decentralized and censorship-resistant ways. There is a fundamental shift in power happening and this shift can’t be stopped or mitigated with new laws or physical weapons. The information economy is broken free from the nation-state economy and the genie can’t be put back in the bottle. The efforts of those who opposed this revolution will be found to be as futile as a child impotently stamping its foot in protest. Those who recognize this movement for what it is and take the time to educate themselves and become active participants will find themselves the digital wizards of a new world. Atlas is shrugging and the ancient and lumbering nation-states are on track to being no more or less relevant than any other player in a free market.

The Shape of Things To Come Chapter 1/?

Rating: Mature

Read at Ao3

With the help of Sara and M’gann, Kara travels back in time to a year before she becomes Supergirl from a future where all her worst fears have come to pass, and replaces her younger self.

Update: This story has now been betaed by @ifourmindbeso. Any remaining mistakes are entirely my own.

Pairings: Supercat, Supercanary, Sanvers, Others

Chapter 1 - Future’s End

The City of Argo, Krypton: May 21st, 1977

Kara jumped through the shattered window of her childhood bedroom a moment before the floor gave way, but even the increased strength from Alex’s old exoskeleton didn’t gave her enough of a push to clear the distance to the Waverider’s waiting hatch. Fortunately, M’gann was there to catch her. One second, Kara was falling, the next M’gann’s right arm was a thick tentacle, wrapped around her waist, and the Martian woman was hauling her into the open airlock.

“Thanks,” Kara said as M’gann sat her on the floor. M’gann didn’t really respond. She just nodded as she released Kara, and hit the button to close the door. Kara tapped her ear piece. “Get us clear,” she said. Almost immediately, she felt the gut twisting nausea that came with a time jump. Not trusting herself to move during a jump without her powers, she just looked up at M’gann.

The blank look on M’gann’s face hadn’t change since Harley had died nearly a week earlier. Kara wanted desperately to do something, anything, for her oldest remaining friend, but she didn’t know what to say. She and Harley had been the only things holding each other together for the longest time.

There was a part of her that knew it wouldn’t matter, not if their plan worked, but she couldn’t help it. The desire to help was still there.

She waited until she felt them exit the time jump, then she stood up and headed towards the bridge. M’gann followed along silently as they picked their way through the debris-strewn corridors of the ship to where Sara was waiting for them.

“Did you get it?” Sara asked.

Kara held up the spy beacon.

“That’s it?” she asked. “It doesn’t look like much.”

Kara shrugged. “It’s not much,” she said. “Just a paired-key homing beacon.”

“How is that going to change the course of the war?” Sara asked.

“If I play my cards right, this will add twenty-nine very angry Kryptonians to our side. It will also keep the Hope function of the Anti-Life equation from ever falling into Darkseid’s hands. If he can’t complete the equation…”

“Then we’ll only be fighting Apokolips, not the entire galaxy,” Sara said.

Kara looked around the ruined bridge of the Waverider, then back to Sara. “Where’s Thea?”

“She’s bundling up the care package,” Sara said.

“Good. Where’d you set us down?”

“On top of your apartment building,” Sara said.

“Um, are you sure it will hold the weight?”

“Doesn’t have too. I’ve got the Higgs dampeners running. The ship weights about as much as a bicycle right now."

“Alright then. I guess it’s time.”

Sara nodded, and stood up out of the Captain’s chair. Before Kara could turn away, Sara reached out and slipped a hand around the back of her neck, pulling her down into a kiss. Kara reacted immediately, slipping her arms around Sara and pulling her close, kissing her with everything she had. It wasn’t a long kiss, but it didn’t need to be. After so many years together, there wasn’t a lot left to say between them. Nothing, in fact, except thank you and goodbye.

Sara pulled back, and Kara gave her a weak smile, neither of them quite able to hide the tears in their eyes.

“Let’s do this,” Sara said.

*** The walk to the Waverider’s medbay seemed both too short and too long. Too short, because she could be about to make everything worse, and too long because she was going to see her sister again, see Cat, Winn, J’onn, and all the people she’d lost since the war started.

She just had to die to do it.

“You have it?” Thea asked as they entered the medbay.

Kara nodded and held out the spy beacon. “Be careful,” she said. “My sister may not be up to the same standard she was at by the time Myriad was over but she’s still a DEO field operative.”

Thea shrugged. “Honestly, I’m more worried about the other you,” she said as she put the spy beacon in the case with the three power rings, their power batteries, the portal generator Vibe had given her after the Dominator incident, and the Kryptonian Constructor Crystals.

“I should be down there before you, even with the Velocity 12,” Kara said.

“Here’s hoping,” Thea said. She closed the hard case, then picked it up and slid it back into the cardboard box Gideon had fabricated for them, and started taping it shut.

Kara climbed up onto one of the medical tables and lay down. “You ready, M’Gann?”

“Yes,” was the only reply. The Martian stepped around the table so she could place her fingers on Kara’s temple, then looked at Sara. “Whenever you’re ready.”

“Right,” Sara said. “Gideon, I need the telepathic booster serum.”

“Of course, Captain Lance,” the AI said as a small door opened in the wall, and a loaded injector gun was extended.

“This stuff will work, right?” Sara asked as she picked up the gun.

“Oh course. The serum will allow Ms. M’orzz to open a telepathic link with Ms. Zor-El’s past and present selves and merge Ms. Zor-El’s present consciousness with her past self. However, the serum is highly toxic, and will terminate Ms. M’orzz life functions within ten minutes of injection. There is no antidote.”

“As long as it works,” M’gann said.

Kara watched as Thea picked up a second injector, and pressed it to Kara’s neck, injecting the Velocity 12 into her carotid artery. Thea nodded to Sara, who stepped over to M’gann and inserted the needle into her neck.

“Go,” Sara said as she pulled the trigger. Thea vanished along with the cardboard box in a swirl of blue lightning, and at the same moment, M’gann began to pull, tearing Kara’s mind from her present body, killing her in the process, as she forced Kara’s current mind to merge with her younger one. It was agony. Indescribable, beyond any pain she’d felt in a life far too full of it. Feeling her mind ripped out of her body, forced through a place infinitely too small, before being crushed together with her younger self. Her younger self, who was living everything that happened over twelve long years in a fraction of a second.

She’d been worried about this moment. Worried she’d wake Alex, who was sleeping on the couch, worried she’d wake the whole building. In the end, she needn’t have.

It hurt far too much to scream.

***

Kara Danvers’ Apartment. National City. Earth 38, September 14th, 2014

Kara sat in her bed, shaking as she stared at the box left on her bed. She wanted to reach out for it, take it, tuck it away somewhere safe, but she was paralyzed by her own fear. She’d hoped for this moment, dreamed of it, of the chance to go back and fix so many mistakes. But now, in the moment, there were so many doubts, so many things she was afraid of.

The first, though, was easy enough to take care of. Her glasses were already on the nightstand, so she didn’t have to take them off to sweep the apartment. No bugs, no cameras, no surveillance. She knew that wouldn’t last, but she was relieved that it was the case tonight. She couldn’t afford a confrontation with the DEO, and if they saw Thea run into her apartment, or figured out that she had three power rings and power batteries in her hands, it would be an all-out war even J’onn wouldn’t be able to stop. Kryptonians were powerful enough to scare the government without throwing weapons that could devastate entire worlds into the mix.

Fortunately, she never intended to keep them for herself.

She forced herself to move, to act. All the fear was still there, but time was of the essence. For now, she had to preserve as much of the timeline as possible. There would be changes, that was the whole point, but nothing that would tip her hand too soon. Nothing that would stop her sister from getting on that plane.

She used a touch of super-speed to tuck the box onto a shelf in her closet. It wasn’t perfect, but it would do until Alex was out of the apartment, at which time, she could head up to the Fortress and tuck it away among all the things Kal didn’t want other people finding. That would do until she could get the sanctuary crystals out of her pod.

She sat back down, picked up her phone, and checked her email. Sure enough, there was a message containing a link waiting for her. She tapped the link, and confirmed that their little stop in 1998 before they headed to Krypton had paid off. With a decent broadband connection, and seventeen years to work, the AI Gideon had whipped up for them had built up a bank account that would make the Prince of Dubai jealous.

She sent a couple of quick commands to the AI before locking her phone and lying back down, using a Kryptonian Meditation to calm herself. What she really wanted to do fish the spy beacon out of the box and turn it on, but it was too soon. If she turned it on now, it would call Astra, but it would call Non and the other Kryptonians as well. Because Astra still thought, or at least suspected, Kara betrayed her and Kara wouldn’t be able to tell her otherwise. Not for another year.

But she could wait, and she could hope, and in a couple of very short hours, she’d be able to hug her sister again.

2- The White Mountain

(by Ivy Snow)

It was the morning of the 24th of October 2040, a beautiful spring day after the great wash of last night’s rain. At a little after 9:30 a.m. I left the car at Marsden and went the rest of the way on foot. It was a routine job for our most lucrative client, the Accident Compensation Corporation, which is obliged to assist the ailing but at the same time balance its books. People like Joe Rollins asked for more than their fair share, in a crumbling economic landscape he wanted to become a lifer on perpetual support. My task was to make sure he never got on the books, by hook or by crook, and it was to this end that I paid him a visit that morning.

I parked the car on the New River Flat, accessed by a small lane on the western side of Card Creek Bridge. It was about four kilometres from there to his caravan, and I used the old tramway to access his property. I changed from my office clothes into khaki elasto-wave field gear before setting out, swapping high heels for combat boots, and I swallowed down a few comforting refreshers before tucking my hipflask into the inside pocket of my camo jacket. I loaded and holstered my 9mm pistol, safety on, check, and packed into my satchel some spare ammo, check, binoculars, check, camera, check, muesli bars, check, phone into pocket, check. I donned my sunglasses, tied back my hair, and into the wild I went.

I wasn’t expecting trouble, but one should always be prepared for reversals in fortune. Only those who are prepared can take full advantage of opportunities. Joe Rollins was listed as an amber alert, which meant he wasn’t considered to be actually dangerous, but he wasn’t exactly non-threatening either. The word volatile appeared more than once in his file, as did the phrase, “Approach with caution.”

The New River was in medium-high flow from yesterday’s downpour, so I crossed by the wire, pausing for a moment halfway to admire the surge of the dirty brown water. On a normal day it would barely reach above my ankles, and it usually had quite slimy, sluggish water, with green algae and very slippery rocks. It used to be clean, but like all of our waterways during the gold boom there was no consideration for keeping New Zealand green. Of course the gold boom wasn’t to blame, because if it hadn’t been gold it would have been something else. The policies that allowed such reckless behaviour were already in place.

When the global economy nose-dived 30 years ago, and America regained its footing over China as the global power, green was seen as a luxury we could no longer afford, when actually it was the only thing that might have built a foundation strong enough to sustain real growth and eventual recovery. Instead of this, rotten to the core, these were the policies we were dealt. The politicians said, “Why build an infrastructure based on sustainability when it’s cheaper to take what’s needed now?” and I was at the protest marches but there was not much interest in looking after the environment when the only thing people cared about was maintaining their unsustainable lifestyle.

Once across the river there were multiple tracks where people had taken quad-bikes or trail bikes various ways around to avoid swampy muddy patches, but they all ended up going in the same direction. I followed one of the tracks until it merged with the old tramway, and when I arrived at the locked gate of Joe’s neighbour’s property, with a sign saying, “Keep Out,” I simply jumped over it and carried on. I knew the property owner and I was pretty sure she wouldn’t mind.

About a hundred years ago the tramway had been used for logging large native trees, a practice which had been banned for almost 20 years from the 1990s. These days of course they used helicopters to target the best trees, that is, rimu, which produces a very beautiful red timber. They can take them pretty much as they please, but at least it’s better than clear felling.

There was one part of the tramway where the old sleepers were still visible, as it climbed through a cutting in the hill to access the high tableland from the river flat. Once I had reached the higher ground I emerged from the bush into the open air and passed through a bog, with sphagnum moss on either side of the track and stunted gorse. It was very wet and muddy from all the rain, with grey warblers intermittently calling and the sun shining like there was nothing wrong in the world. I saw a hawk overhead, and several plump wood pigeons flew by, also a weka scuttled away; a brown ground bird about the size of a chicken.

After a couple of kilometres the way became more track-like as it began its slow descent through the bush towards the mouth of No Name Creek. But the track didn’t go all the way to the old tramway’s termination, instead it terminated where it met the four-wheel drive track that led up to Joe’s place, with the rest of the tramway reclaimed by bush. I followed the four-wheel drive track, coming under the power lines which took electricity from the dam at Kumara to Greymouth, and so I knew I was almost there. Rather than emerging again out into the open, I cut across by a foot track through the bush to the old gold workings dating from the 1860s, and came up onto the track at Joe’s place.

It was there that I almost ran into him. I was being cautious but moving quickly, and I almost stepped out right in front of him, apparently strolling about on a morning walk. Luckily I’m quite limber for a woman of my age, and I’ve always had an ability to somehow merge into the shadows, which is why I’m so good at this work. I froze, stepped back quietly, and shrank into the fernery without arousing his suspicion. I guess he was stoned anyway, and that would have helped my position. He limped past oblivious of how close we had come to meeting.

I could almost feel sorry for the guy, watching him enjoy nature, a far cry from the loser he appeared on paper. He was slightly chubby, quite misshapen, in his early fifties, with short brown hair and a pleasant but not handsome red face; dressed in loose denim trousers and a cream and orange cotton-brush shirt. Sure, on paper ACC had an obligation to take care of people like him, with his crooked hip and no education or means of getting a decent income. But if they made it too easy, then everybody would get on it, and the country just couldn’t afford it. At least by hiring me it was a good way of testing who should really be deserving of getting on the books.

At the end of the day, after an accident, we would all like to be supported at the level of income we were used to before our lives were altered irrecoverably. The laws at the time of his accident just hadn’t taken into account the downfall of the country’s economy as a whole. Also, who was to say that he could have sustained that kind of lifestyle even if he hadn’t had the accident? The processing plant he had worked for had long since closed down, and why should he be allowed ongoing support and a taxpayer funded payout in the form of compensation when all of his co-workers had lost their jobs, and none them got anything except for meagre redundancy payments?

After he walked by I made myself comfortable a bit further back in the bush, ate a muesli bar, downed with a drop of Ringo. I find gin is the best refresher for fieldwork. I waited till he had returned back up the track, and then slowly followed behind to a good viewing place I had used before, where I took a few photos of him pottering about his humble abode. Poor Joe had been forced by the bank to give up his house while pursuing his court case against ACC, and so he had moved out here to the worthless piece of land he had no doubt imagined would one day be his place of retirement, that is, in a distant future where he could afford to build on it, not like this.

He had cut a flat area out of the bush and moved a caravan onto it, which was his home. Despite the heavy power lines being so close there was no supply of electricity to the property, no amenities, so he had to rely on solar panels, rainwater, and a long drop toilet. It was a dump. But it was also very nice and peaceful with the surrounding bush. The warblers sang, the tomtits sang. I could hear bellbirds in the distance, and a tui took up a perch on a branch momentarily, gave a few shrill grunts and then flew away again. In its own way it was very beautiful. It was a pity that it was wasted on a no hoper like Joe who lived in squalor, smoking pot and complaining to ACC.

He eventually got into his Range Rover, spluttered pollution into the pristine surroundings, and drove down his steep winding driveway onto the track that led to Noname Road and Marsden. It was just as I had been expecting, for I had inside information that he had an appointment with his doctor at 11 o’clock, to receive yet another examination ahead of his meeting next week with his lawyer and case reviewer, who was flying down from Auckland on behalf of ACC. That was my chance. I waited for a few minutes after I could no longer hear the diesel engine driving off in the distance, noting the time as 10:45, and with a gulp from the hipflask just because I could, and it did me no harm, I went down and entered the premises.

All about the gravelled pad were stacks of things like building materials that I presumed he believed would one day come in handy. There were also several marijuana plants growing in buckets, which I documented because it was still illegal. Over the back half of the caravan he had built a kind of a shed-like shelter, probably to keep the noise of the rain off the caravan’s roof, I thought, because that’s what would annoy me. There was guttering to collect water into three 40 gallon drums, but these did not serve as his water supply; I noted a black polyethylene hose coming out of the bush from the ridge above on the southern side of the pad. He must have found a spring, or at least a reliable stream to get his water from.

The inside of the caravan was very simple and tidy, with his morning dishes washed and stacked neatly upon a small formica bench. It was more spacious than I would have given it credit for, with a double-bed and a small wooden table with his smoking paraphernalia upon it. I took photos, for the sake of it, but nobody really cared about that. I quickly looked through the cupboard, not expecting to find it so soon, but I pulled out a box full of papers and knew that I had struck the jackpot. Here were all of his precious papers, and my job was to take photographs of several of them, and to remove a select few, ahead of his meeting with ACC.

That done, I replaced the box just as I had found it, tucked in below some blankets. But as I replaced it, I noticed several other items there, between the blankets above the box. I took out a Barbie doll, and next to it was an old-fashioned Lenovo tablet, with flower and star stickers on it like something that a young girl might do. It was strange, because I felt like I had seen them before, almost like déjà vu, but I knew from his records that Joe didn’t have a daughter.

I turned on the tablet, and the screen saver showed a white mountain with three distinct peaks, which looked familiar but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. It asked for a pin, and I couldn’t tell you the number, but I entered the number, and it wasn’t simply matter of entering four zeros. Without thinking I entered a four digit combination, and suddenly the whole caravan dipped and sank, then bobbed up again like a cork in a pool of water. I braced myself, but then I knew, there was no earthquake, nothing was shaking, there were flashes like forked lightning forming across the sides of my vision.

It was very bad timing. They call it an ocular migraine. At least, that’s what I’ve gathered from the internet. There’s no definite reason for why it occurs or what triggers it, except perhaps stress, or certain foods, but I knew I had at least one way of alleviating it. I took a good swig of juniper berry juice, which doesn’t have a scientific basis as a cure, but it sure does help against the sense of surging panic when my reality becomes altered like this.

It’s hard to describe, but the interior of the caravan appeared like a hazy plain, like a wasteland, as sun streaks entered through the window leaving searing imprints on my eyes. I put my sunglasses back on and prepared to go. But as I looked around through the contrast of darkness and light, I imagined that high above the wasteland stood the beautiful mountain with three snowy peaks. I knew that I had seen the mountain before but I couldn’t think where. I mean, before seeing it on the tablet, which I’m not sure even existed. I think I must have seen the mountain in a dream because it made me feel a sense of calm and peace, like heaven. As I looked out the window at the ridge above the eastern side of the caravan, I could imagine that the mountain really existed there, at the base of a wasteland on the other side of the ridgeline. I wasn’t in my right mind.

Just then, as though things couldn’t get worse, I heard the sound of an approaching diesel engine. Was Joe returning so soon? It sounded like his car. Or maybe someone was visiting, but either way, I had to get out of there very quickly, which I managed to do, despite the headache that always follows these episodes coming on quite strongly.

I recovered my safe viewing place and lay down, sipping gin as Joe drove up. He went inside, but came out again a moment later, and by the way he slammed the caravan door I guessed there was something upsetting him. I was worried that I might have left something behind in my haste and lack of coordinated vision, but I could hardly make him out to see what he was doing. I waited for a while, praying that he wasn’t searching me out, and with the last of my gin gone I waited for another half hour before he drove away again. Then I too quietly made my way out of there, as my sight began to come back to me.

That was “Chapter Two” of The Woman in the Brown Hat, a sci-fi fantasy detective novel by Marcus Pedersen.

Written by Wild Bill on The Prepper Journal.

As most of you who follow the news already know there was a vehicle attack in Toronto this past Monday. Reported a ten people killed and 15 injured in the initial report, updated on Thursday to nine killed. This is just the latest in what has become a convenient weapon of choice for the lone wolf, or so the media would have you believe, that has been employed world-wide in the past few years.

No politician and no public official is ever going to state that these are anything other than random acts of madmen, and perhaps, by some miracle, or some stretch of logic, they are, but one needs to understand the realities of these attacks to understand if we can be prepared should we face such a situation.

Molasses in Winter

The average speed some one can run: While scientists claim 40 mph may be achievable I choose to stick with the established fact that the world’s fastest runner, Usain Bolt, was clocked at “nearly” 28 mph in the 100-meter sprint. Bo Jackson once ran the 40 yard dash in 4.13 seconds, the fasted recorded to date. But drag them out to the 100 yards or a mile and the speed virtually disappears. Marathon runners can average 8.8 mph for 26.2 miles. Best information available is the average human jogs at about 8 mph, and sprints at 10.2 mph and of course distance is the great variable, as well as physical condition, terrain, age, an obstacles – like things and other people.

To get a comparison the average cycling speed is estimated at 9.6 mph and, in a race, a reasonably fit rider can ride at 25 mph on flat surface.

No match for any motorized vehicle driven by a human (RC cars don’t count.) So the reality is always that your self as a physical being is the best thing you can work on to be prepared but ones limits are pretty much defined. You are not, in spite of what you have seen in the movies, going to outrun a vehicle intent on hitting you. Dodge, weave and hide behind things, sure, but that assumes an awareness of the situation and an awareness of your surroundings, and the option to find things to weave around and hide behind and time to react.

So What Can We Do?

Avoiding crowds and crowded places – not realistic, probably not possible unless you already live on the edge of the grid.

Making mental health a tribunal-level judgement that limits ones freedoms? By who? Who is qualified to be the judge? I have had the misfortune to have three mental health professionals as relatives in my life so far and I’ll pass on their judgement and qualifications to make even simple choices. This buys into the mentality that we “can make the world safe” if only “__________”! (Fill in the blank with you own personal choices.) Realists know that making the world a safe place in an unattainable goal generally. My goal here is not to answer your questions, I am unqualified to do that, but to make you think of questions and work out how you will respond and react presented with this new (?) threat as vehicles have been used as weapons through their existence.

Vehicle bombs can be complicated, or they can be simple. As any military vet of the more recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan can tell you the use of IED (improvised explosive devices) has come a long way for the days of Viet Nam – In Viet Nam the military jeeps had the gas tank under the drivers seat, you actually lifted the drivers seat up to refuel the vehicles. The Viet Cong figured this out and used it as a weapon early on. The gas tank opening would accommodate a frag grenade so if you pulled the pin but left the handle on and used plain old scotch tape to keep the handle in place, you simply dropped this into the gas tank. It would take a couple of hours before the gasoline ate away the scotch tape and bingo, wherever the jeep happened to be at that moment.

Another cute trick was using a flare round from the old style flare pistols. You could disassemble the old rounds, duck tape the magnesium package which has a self-contained oxidizer made of potassium chlorinate to a gas tank and then wrap the parachute around an axle. A few revolutions and the ignited gets set off by the pull, like the jerk of the parachute when it is in normal use. Modern rounds do not “facilitate” this any longer, but many other available igniters do.

Bank robbers along the other side of our Southern border had a favorite. They would put explosives in an old vehicle attached to a 12v battery but not close the circuit – wire it to both terminals. Normally on the floor in the front seat and then set the back seat on fire and call the fire department. First thing firemen did was douse the vehicle with water, hopefully completing the circuit by soaking the battery terminals with water and “boom” – injured firefighters, police rushing to the scene, and then they would rob a bank on the other side of town. Sound far fetched? The fail-safe is the fire would eventually achieve a similar effect.

But now, with a valid drivers license, something some states pass out like the free mints at a restaurants hostess station, and a valid credit card – for sale at every Walmart for cash, and you have rented a potential weapon. No distinguishing marks, no smoking fuse, other than the driver, no rifle barrels pointed out the window and 4,000+ pound at 6′ wide and 7′ tall, most capable of accelerating from a normal street speed to 60+ mph in seconds. From a clinical point of view, this is an excellent weapon. Inexpensive, leaves a cold/close trail,

and if you survive you just walk away, and in most gun-free zones this is a possibility if for not the off-duty police officer or the on-duty policemen, moments away. The reality is that in the case of most on-duty policeman they are moments away when seconds count. And these incidents take only seconds.

So what are your opinions? I would like to know what the community thinks as to possible courses of actions or preventative measures. If this is more organized that the media wants you to believe then constantly looking over your shoulder is certainly the result these perpetrators want as a result. The fear, the uneasiness. While this may sound extreme, is this a rational to be used for autonomous vehicles? Another kink in our rights as we give up another freedom for a possible safety? Bad trade in the authors opinion. Reasonable due diligence and situation awareness are what I have come up with, and you?

Yakuza White Dragon Society battles New World Order Khazarian Mafia as U.S. troops deploy worldwide with 10,000 sealed indictments to help take them down.

“10,000 Sealed Indictments” – Fulford Report – 12.18.17

By Benjamin Fulford, official spokesman for White Dragon Society (Yakuza)

U.S. troops deploy worldwide with 10,000 sealed indictments to take down the centuries old secret Khazarian mafia

U.S. President Donald Trump spent the weekend at Camp David with his top generals to map out the exact strategy for decapitating the Khazarian mafia worldwide, say Pentagon sources. “The Atlanta airport was shut down while the Department of Defense refused to disclose the locations of 44,000 U.S. troops who may be involved in terminating the cabal worldwide,” a senior Pentagon source said. There are now close to 10,000 sealed indictments as more and more of the Khazarian criminals give up evidence on their colleagues, the sources say.

There are also many extra-judicial killings going on. “The liberal sanctuary city mayor of San Francisco, Edwin Lee, dropped dead after an illegal alien was found not guilty in the murder of Kate Steinle even after his confession,” one source notes. “Lee’s death is a message to the Democrats and sanctuary city mayors like Rahm Emmanuel of Chicago and Bill De Blasio of New York City,” the source warns.

The Khazarian mob is also killing off lots of people. In Japan, two former executives of Toshiba, Atsutoshi Nishida and Taizo Nishimura, suddenly died in the past two months because they were about to provide evidence about the March 11, 2011 Fukushima tsunami and nuclear terror attack against Japan, according to sources close to the royal family.

This attack was carried out by henchmen of the Rockefeller family, whose members include Hillary and Bill Clinton, the sources say. The Rockellers, in turn, were taking orders from the fascist P2 Freemason lodge, they say. The Rockefeller family, by the way, has elected Mel Rockefeller, the son of Nelson Rockefeller, as the new family head, these sources added.

In Canada, Barry Sherman, owner of the Canadian pharmaceutical giant Apotex, was found hanging dead alongside his wife Honey by the family’s indoor pool. According to CIA sources, Sherman was killed to cover up an evidence trail leading to the Clinton Foundation and their crimes in Haiti. “We have a classified document involving the Clinton Foundation and a pharmaceutical company from Canada that was to supply generic drugs for the people of Haiti. The point is that they were going to supply inferior-quality generic medicine and pocket the difference in price,” the CIA source says.

In any case, no matter how many potential witnesses are bumped off, the situation has reached a point where the Khazarians will not be able to murder their way out.

The December 12th Senatorial election in Alabama, for example, was a sting operation against the Khazarians, Pentagon sources say. “Senator Roy Moore was allowed to have his election stolen in Alabama so Trump could collect voting data to take down the Soros organization, the Democrats, and the cabal for vote fraud,” the sources say. “Three poll workers have been arrested already,” they note.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is next to join a growing list of politicians who are resigning in the ongoing purge of the House and Senate, the sources add. Senator John “Daesh” McCain is also apparently wanting to leave this world before his many crimes are made public.

http://fox6now.com/2017/12/15/john-mccain-described-as-increasingly-frail-senate-sources-say/

Even the brainwashed propaganda media is beginning to realize that something is going on when they see Hillary Clinton’s “surgical boot” (hiding a GPS ankle bracelet) staying on long after it should have been removed if the official excuse of a broken toe were true. No doubt some lame excuse will be given and the still-brainwashed segment of the population will accept it.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5178037/Clinton-wears-surgical-boot-MONTHS-breaking-toe.html

The people who still believe the cabal’s story line are like the people in the joke about a man who was told his wife was cheating on him. In the joke, he hires a detective to confirm his wife’s innocence. The detective comes back and says, “She met with another man in the street and they entered a hotel together.” The husband asks, “Did you see them enter a room together?” The detective says, “Yes.” “Did you see what went on inside the room?” the husband asks. “Yes, I peeked through the keyhole and saw them on the bed together,” the detective answers. “Were they covered with a blanket?” the husband asks. The detective says, “Yes” to the man. He asks, “Did you see under the blanket?” and the detective says, “No.” “In that case you cannot prove she was cheating,” the husband says.

The husband does not want to face reality because it would upset his entire worldview, and in the same way, the brainwashed people will cling to the lamest excuses to avoid reality. Similarly, if the Clinton people explain the cast is still on because of “complications,” people in denial will go with this story rather than accept that she has been arrested.

Nonetheless, we are reaching the point where even these people will be forced to face reality. The entire FBI and Justice Department network that tried to protect Hillary Clinton from prosecution is also being systematically exposed and dismantled. The link here provides a good visual summary:

http://rense.com/general96/whoswho.html

Now even the corporate media is being forced to accept that the so-called “Islamic State” was a CIA creation. This is coming out now because the November 18th U.S. military raid on the CIA has shut down Operation Mockingbird and the corporate media is being forced to report the truth.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-15/weapons-went-cia-isis-less-two-months-new-study-reveals

A clear sign of how unusual the times we are living in have become is that former U.S. Corporation President Barack Obama is seeking and apparently getting political asylum in England.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/dec/17/prince-harry-interviews-barack-obama-today-programme-guest-slot

What this shows, together with the fact that Donald Trump is not welcome in the UK, is that the Anglo-Saxon world is split between bloodline-controlled England and the anti-bloodline Gnostic Illuminati-ruled Republic of the United States of America.

This situation is likely to come to a head of sorts in January as an informal Anglo-Chinese alliance tries to bankrupt the U.S. internationally, based on its cumulative trade deficit and its inability to pay for the goods it imports with real money.

The U.S. will respond with threats of war. This will appear in the news in the form of U.S. sabre-rattling against North Korea, as it yet again wields the all-out nuclear war card in an attempt to extort more money. The Chinese are preparing to call the U.S. bluff this time, as can be seen by its government warning its people to prepare for nuclear war as it conducts military drills near Taiwan and North Korea.

http://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy-defence/article/2124613/north-korea-time-bomb-government-advisers-urge-china

https://sputniknews.com/asia/201712131059976881-beijing-bombers-jets-encircle-taiwan/

https://www.rt.com/news/413269-china-navy-drills-north-korea/

The Chinese and British want the creation of a world government in order to ensure a peaceful and law-based planet, Asian secret society sources say. In the absence of some sort of compromise with the U.S. military government, there will be financial chaos even if war is avoided.

The current financial system is dysfunctional and only serves as a way to funnel privately owned central bank funny money to the super-rich via the stock market. This means of distributing money has pushed financial markets away from reality, and reality always will prevail, no matter how hard you try to avoid it. The Boston Consulting Group surveyed 250 top institutional investors who together manage over $500 billion in funds and found them to be the most pessimistic they have been since the Lehman shock of 2008.

https://www.bcg.com/publications/2017/survey-increasingly-bearish-investors-seek-long-term-value-creation.aspx

Hopefully, a new transparently and meritocratically run financial system will be launched, but we may need to go through the chaotic collapse of the old system before this is possible. We will find out in the new year.

On a final and personal note, Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center will be speaking at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan on December 20th. Cooper had one of my books banned for being “anti-Semitic.” When I asked him what in my book was “anti-Semitic,” he said that I wrote that U.S. President George Bush Jr. was responsible for the deaths of many civilians in Iraq. Bush is supposed to be an evangelical Christian, and the information on the deaths of civilians in Iraq came from the medical journal Lancet. So here we have a supposed Jew banning a book written by a person with Jewish ancestry that is denouncing genocide by a non-Jew because it is “anti-Semitic.” How hypocritical can you get? Poor Mr. Weisenthal must be spinning in his grave.

According to officials at Tokuma Shoten Publishing, the Weisenthal Center paid bribes to editors to place misleading newspaper ads for my book. This then led to a complete ban of all advertising for all of my books in newspapers and other ad venues, no matter what their content. This is typical of what they do to writers worldwide and is a part of their control grid in Japan and elsewhere. In the U.S., the Department of Homeland Security froze the bank accounts of entire publishing companies to prevent them from publishing my books in English.

Cooper and his Jewish mafia buddies also pay rent-a-mob right-wingers to do things like attack ethnic Korean shopping districts in order to keep South Korea and Japan fighting each other, according to members of these groups.

The man is a criminal and belongs in jail. If Cooper is arrested, he will sing like a canary about the entire Khazarian mafia control grid in Japan and elsewhere. He will also explain exactly how the Khazarian mafia runs North Korea. I would be very happy if some MP’s showed up at the event and arrested him. Take him to Guantanamo and make him sing.

The Dragon groups we do know to be real include:

the White Dragon which has an ancient Asian counter-part

the Black Dragon (Greater East Asian Co-prosperity sphere etc.)

the Dragon family (Merovingian royalty)

the Green Dragon which has roots in Iran (Persia) and central Asia

the Red Dragon may be the Nazis new name for themselves because the Odessa group (post-war Nazis) is definitely on the war path.

The Hart: Chapter One

Summary: When Lizzie was just a few months old, she lost her father. Fifteen years later she lost her mother, and then her sister. Now in her early twenties Lizzie spends her days and nights hunting things and saving people. When the Winchesters meet the bright eyed and bubbly blonde they don’t realise what they’re in for… and neither does she…

Part Thirteen: Mandroid

Masterlist

Warnings: Nope.

"So, what's it like, being an FBI guy?" Franny, the sales assistant at a jewellery store asked me.

The store had been robbed by one of their own a couple of days ago. Sam had found the case, and noticed a bank had been robbed in the same city, by one of its workers. It seemed odd enough, so Sam, Liz and I had set off to find out what was going on.

Sam was currently talking to the manager, while Liz spoke to a security guard. Or well... She was flirting with him. But that was none of my business. Nothing had happened between us since we'd kissed at the hotel a couple of weeks ago. As far as I could tell, she was still determined to not hook up with a hunter.

So if there wasn't going to be anything between us, I didn't mind her flirting with someone else. Hell, I was flirting with Franny. But I'd be lying if I wasn't a little jealous.

"Well, it's dangerous. And the secrets we gotta keep." I chuckled lightly. "Oh, God, the secrets. But mostly, it's lonely."

"I so know what you mean."

"Yeah." I nodded at her before getting back on track. "So, Helena killed herself?"

"Well, the cops said she dropped a hairdryer in the bath and fried herself. They should know, right?"

"Yeah. Well, thanks, Frannie. Think that's all I need."

"Really? I mean, because I've got more. You know, if you wanted to interview me... Sometime, in private?"

I thought about it for a moment, wondering if it would be a good idea. But I didn't see why not, so I simply nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, I think that's a good idea. You're a true patriot, you really are. Why don't you write your number down?"

SPOV

"Helena was our head buyer. She was family, you know?" the manager explained as he moved to stand behind one of the counters. "She said it herself. Every Christmas part she said we were the only family she had."

"So, there were never any signs that she'd do this?"

"No, I still can't believe it, even now. That night, Helena came back to the store after closing. Cleaned out all the display cases and the safe. Edgar, our night watchman, he caught her in the act. He didn't know what to do. He'd known her for years. He called me at home."

"And that's when she took his gun?"

"She shot him in the face. I-I heard him die... Over the phone."

"Any idea what her motive could've been?"

"What motive? It makes no sense. Why steal all those diamonds, jewellery, then what, just dump it somewhere? Just hide it and then go home and..."

I didn't need him to elaborate. I'd read about the suicide. "So, you never saw the security camera footage yourself, then."

The manager shook his head. "The police, they took all the tapes, first thing."

Dean sighed, I looked over my shoulder to see him standing behind me. "Of course they did."

EPOV

"Well, you have been a big help, sir." I smiled at the security guard.

He'd only been working here a few months, but he'd met Helena and had been trained by the night watchman she'd killed. He didn't have a lot of information, but whatever I could get was better than nothing.

"Please, call me Jacob."

He was a good-looking guy. A few years older than me. Tall, dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes, scruff on his jaw. Even though he was dressed in uniform, I could tell her was a fit looking guy underneath.

"Jacob." my smile widened as I pulled out a card from my pocket. "If you remember anything else, why don't you give me a call?"

He grinned, taking the card. "Or maybe I'll just call you to set up a date."

My smile widened. "I think I'd like that."

The sound of someone clearing their throat had us both look to see Sam and Dean now standing a couple of feet from us. Sam looked amused, while Dean looked bored.

"Right." I turned back to Jacob. "Thanks again for all your help. I, uh... I gotta go."

"Okay, yeah, sure." nodding he gestured to the card in his hand. "I'll call you."

Before I could respond, Dean's hand grabbed my arm as he started leading me out of the store and towards the car, Sam following behind us.

DPOV

"This is it." Sam pointed to the house I'd stopped in front of.

"Frigging cops." I groaned, getting out of the car.

Liz shrugged as she stepped on to the road as well. "They're just doing their job, Dean."

"No, they're doing our job. Only they don't know it, so they suck at it." I argued as we started for the front door. "Talk to me about this bank, Sam."

"Milwaukee National trust. It was hit a month ago."

"Same M.O. as the jewellery store?" I asked.

He nodded. "Inside job, long-time employee. The never-in-a-million-years type. Dude robs the bank, then goes home and supposedly commits suicide."

"And this guy Reznick was the security guard on duty?" I gestured to the front door as we neared it.

Liz stepped in then, answering. "He was beaten unconscious by the teller who heisted the place. Ronald Reznick."

Reaching the door, Sam knocked on the glass. "Mr Reznick?"

Suddenly a bright light turned on, practically blinding us with its voltage.

I looked away quickly. "Son of a-"

Movement caught our attention as Ronald stepped up to the door cautiously.

"FBI, Mr Reznick." Sam introduced us.

"Let me see the badges." the three of us did as Ron asked, pressing out fake badges to the glass. He leaned forward to look at them before looking at each of our faces. "Already gave my statement to the police."

I nodded. "Yeah, listen. Ronald, just some things about your statement. We want some clarification."

"You read it?"

"Sure did." I gave him a friendly smile.

"Come to listen to what I gotta say?" he sounded surprised.

"Why else would we be here, Mr Reznick?" Liz spoke.

His eyes fell on Liz. His face went a little pale as he stood a little straighter. "Well, come on in." he opened the door and stepped to the side. "Ladies first."

Oh, God.

"Such a gentleman. Thank you." Liz nodded, walking in. She tugged off her coat, draping it over her arm.

The first time I saw her in her FBI get up- which consisted of a black pants suit and white collared shirt, with a long grey coat sometimes and her hair pulled up neatly- I couldn't get over how she could look good in ripped jeans and her leather jacket, but also make a pants suit look sexy...

"This way." Ronald shyly smiled to her as he led us down a hallway. "None of the cops ever called me back. Not after I told them what was really going on. They all thought I was crazy."

Liz didn't drop the sweet act as she walked beside him. "Well, we're here to listen."

His smile widened as he stepped into a room, going on. I was listening to what he had to say, but at the same time, I couldn't stop looking at the walls. A corner was covered in posters, pictures, maps and articles... All about aliens...

"First off, Juan Morales never robbed the Milwaukee National Trust. That I guarantee. See me and Juan were friends. He used to come back to the bank on my night shifts and we'd play cards."

"So you let him into the bank that night. After hours." Sam noted.

"The thing I let into the bank... Wasn't Juan. I mean, it had his face, but it wasn't his face. Every detail was perfect, but too perfect. You know, like if a doll maker made it, like if I was talking to a big Juan doll."

Sam looked at the guy as if he were crazy. "A 'Juan doll'?"

Ronald ignored him as he offered Liz some articles. "Look. This wasn't the only time this happened. There was this jewellery store too. And the cops and you guys, I mean, you just won't see it. Both crimes were pulled by the same thing."

"And what's that, Mr Reznick?" Sam asked.

Ron picked up a magazine with a robot on the cover. "Chinese been working on them and the Russians before that. Part man, part machine."

Liz pointed to the robot. "Isn't that from Doctor Who?"

I turned to her shocked that she'd know that- because I sure as hell had no idea. But before I could say anything, Ronald spoke again.

"Yes. But I'm talking about real robot men. Like the Terminator but the kind that can change itself. Make itself look like other people."

That reference I got. "Like the one from T2."

"Exactly." Ron smiled at me, excited. "See, not just a robot. More of a, 'mandroid'."

"A mandroid?" Sam did not sound convinced. Which I didn't blame him, really. But he could have at least pretended.

Before Ronald could react, I quickly went on. "What makes you so sure about this, Ronald?"

His smile returned as he moved to a TV and slid a video into the player. "See, I made copies of all the security tapes. I knew once the cops got them they'd be buried." he explained as he pressed play. "Here. Now watch."

Sam, Liz and I took a seat on the couch as we watched Ronald fast forward the video until Juan appeared on the screen.

"Watch him, watch, watch. See? Look, there it is." he pressed pause. On the screen, we could see Juan's eyes, glowing. "You see, he's got the laser eyes."

That was no mandroid. That was a shapeshifter.

"Cops said it was some kind of reflected light. Some kind of 'camera flare'. Okay? Ain't no damn camera flare. They say I'm a post-trauma case. So what? Bank goes and fires me? It don't matter. The mandroid is still out there." he stood up and turned to us. "The law won't hunt this thing down, I'll do it myself.

"You see, this thing, it kills the real person. Makes it look like a suicide. Then it sort of, like, morphs into the person. Cases the job for a while till it knows that take is fat, and then finds its opening. Now these robberies, they're grouped together. So I figure the mandroid id holed up somewhere in the middle. Underground maybe. I don't know. Maybe that's where it recharges its mandroid batteries."

"Okay." Sam took a deep breath as he got to his feet. "I want you to listen very carefully. Because I'm about to tell you the gods' honest truth about all of this." he waited until Ron nodded before he went on. "There's no such thing as mandroids. There's nothing evil or inhuman going on out there. Just people. Nothing else, you understand?"

I had not expected that... Sam was usually the gentle one.

"The laser eyes-"

Sam cut him off. "Just a camera flare, Mr Reznick. See, I know you don't want to believe it, but your friend Juan robbed the bank and that's it."

Ron looked a little shocked at first, and then he was pissed. "Get out of my house! Now!"

"Sure." Sam nodded. "First things first..."

EPOV

Dean shook his head as he stood in front of the map of Milwaukee that we'd pinned to our hotel room wall. "Man, that has got to be the kicker, straight up. I mean, you tell that poor son of a bitch that... Wait, what did you say?" he asked Sam.

"We had to remand the tapes that he copied." I answered as I moved to sit on one of the beds, crossing my legs in front of me. "It's classified evidence of an ongoing investigation."

Dean laughed lightly. "That's messed up."

"What, are you pissed at me or something?" Sam turned to him from where he sat by the TV.

"No, I just think it's creepy how good of a fed you are." Dean shrugged. "I mean, come on. We could've at least thrown the guy a bone. He did some pretty good legwork here."

Sam scoffed. "Mandroid?"

"Well, except for that part, Dean's right." I nodded. "He seemed like a pretty decent guy."

"I liked him." Dean sat at the table in front of some blueprints. "He's not that different from us. People think we're crazy."

"Yeah, but he's not a hunter." Sam noted. "He's just a guy who stumbled onto something real. If he went up against this thing, he'd get torn apart. Better to stay in the dark and stay alive."

Dean shrugged. "Yeah, I guess."

Shaking his head, Sam turned back to the T.V. where he looked to the paused screen. "Shapeshifter. Just like back at St. Louis. Same retinal reaction to video."

"Eyes flare at the camera." sighing, Dean looked to the screen as well. "I hate those frigging things."

"You think I don't?" Sam asked him.

"Well, yeah. But one didn't turn into you and frame you for murder."

"I haven't dealt with a shifter for years." the excitement in my voice couldn't be controlled. I just loved my job so much.

"They like to be laid up underground. Preferably the sewer." Dean noted. "All the robberies have been connected so far, right. To the, uh, sewer lain layout. There's one more bank lined up on that sewer main."

DPOV

"We haven't had any flags go up on our system yet." the security guard noted as he led Sam, Liz and I towards the security office in the bank.

"No, no, this is a glitch in the overall grid." I explained. "Just wanna make sure the branch monitors are kosher."

The guard nodded. "Better to be safe than sorry."

"That's the plan." I agreed.

As he opened the door to the office, he took a step to the side so we could enter. "Alrighty. You three need anything else?"

"No, we'll be in and out before you know it." Sam assured him. "Just a routine check."

"Thanks for all your assistance." Liz offered the guard a smile before she set off towards the screens playing security footage live.

"Okie dokie." the guard went to leave before leaning closer to Sam and me. "Don't know how you two work with a beauty like her around."

I chuckled lightly. "I hear ya."

Even in the fake uniforms we'd pulled together for the job, Liz still looked good. Her hair pulled through the hole at the back of her cap. Belt around her waist, pulling in her coveralls and showing off her curves. She looked like every guy's working-girl fantasy come to life.

Once the guard was gone, Sam and I moved to join Liz. "I like him. He says okie dokie."

"What if he's the shifter?" Sam asked, taking a seat.

"Then we follow him home and put a silver bullet through his chest plate." I answered, taking the other seat.

"Sounds like a plan." Liz nodded as she turned to us. Pausing, she frowned. "Don't I get a seat?" I swear, Sam was about to jump up and offer her his. But instead, she just shrugged and crouched down on the floor between us. "So we expecting this to take long?"

"Probably should have brought popcorn." I sighed.

SPOV

"Well, looks like Mr Okie-dokie, is okie dokie." Dean grinned as he nodded to the guard on the screen.

"Maybe we jumped the gun on this." I shrugged, starting to feel a little unsure about the job. "I mean, we don't even know it's here. Maybe we should just go on back to the sewers and-" I cut myself short as Dean zoomed in on one of the tellers, centring on her behind.

"Oh, come on." Lizzie groaned, getting to her feet and leaning over to take the controls from Dean.

"What are you doing?" he fought her, pulling at them, causing the screen to zoom in and out over and over.

"We're supposed to be looking for eyes." she snapped. "If I wanted to look at someone's ass, I would have left you two to the job and gone out with Jacob."

"The security guard from the jewellery store?" Dean almost sounded offended.

"Yes."

"Seriously? That guy was such a douche."

Something had changed between Dean and Lizzie. It was only a small change, but I'd still noticed it. Ever since the hotel case we took a couple of weeks ago. There was something different. Their flirting wasn't as bad, and they'd both started hooking up with more people than usual... I couldn't help but wonder if something had happened between them.

"Hold on, stop." Dean grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back as he leaned towards one of the screens more. "Hello, freak." sure enough, the camera was focused on the shifter.

"Got him." I got to my feet and headed for the door.

"Wait." Lizzie called. "I think we have a problem?"

"What?" I asked, coming back to the chairs and desk.

Dean gestured to one of the screens where Ronald was chaining up the entrance- which was the only exit- of the bank. "Hello, Ronald."

EPOV

"And you said we shouldn't bring guns." Dean scolded Sam as the three of us made our way towards Ron, where he had hostages in the main room.

"I didn't know this was gonna happen."

"Sam has a point, Dean."

Dean shook his head. "Just let Liz and me do the talking. I don't think he likes you very much, Agent Johns." he then grabbed my arm to stop me as we reached the last corner. "Don't do anything stupid. You stay close to Sam or me, you got it?"

"I don't need a babysitter, Dean. I'm perfectly capable."

"Just do as I say." he didn't leave any room for argument before he turned around the corner cautiously, watching Ronald.

Ron held up a key on a cord necklace as he spoke to the hostages he'd gathered up. "Now there's only one was in or out of here and I chained it up. So nobody's leaving, you understand?"

"Hey, buddy." Dean called. Ron spun on his heels to look at us. "Now, why don't you calm down? Just calm down."

"What the..." Ron lifted his gun, aiming it at us. "You! Get on the floor now."

"Okay, we're doing that." Dean nodded, all of us doing as we were told. "Just don't shoot anybody. Especially us."

"I knew it. As soon as you three left. You ain't FBI. No FBI is that hot." he pointed the gun at me. "Who are you?"

"Whoa!" my hands were raised as my eyes stayed focussed on the end of the gun. "You wanna point that somewhere else."

Dean shifted closer to me slightly. "Don't be stupid, Ron."

"Who are you working for?" Ron continued the questions, ignoring both Dean and I. "The Men in Black? You working for the mandroid?"

"We're not working for the mandroid!" Sam snapped.

"You shut up!" Ron yelled at him. "I ain't talking to you, I don't like you!"

Sam calmed down. "Fair enough."

Turning to the hostages, Ron pointed to one of the men. "Get over there, frisk them down, make sure they got no weapons. Go."

The man frisked Sam first and found nothing. He then moved to me.

"Touch anything you're not supposed to, and I will personally break all of your fingers. And then Ron's." I warned, holding enough venom in my voice to even make Dean and Sam flinch.

The man frisked me, carefully. His hands patting me down, while making sure not to touch too much. He found nothing and moved to Dean, frisking him more than he did me. He found a sliver blade in Dean's boot.

"Now what have we here?" Ron gestured for the man to give him the blade.

Dean looked to Sam and me with a shrug. "I'm not just gonna walk in here naked."

Taking the blade, Ron the gestured back to the hostages. "Get back down." he ordered the man. Moving to one of the counters, he tossed the blade into a waste paper chute.

"We know you don't want to hurt anybody but that's exactly what's gonna happen if you keep waving that cannon around. Now, why don't you let these people go?" Dean suggested, trying to reason with Ron.

It didn't work. "No! I already told you. If nobody's gonna stop this thing, then I gotta do it myself."

"We believe you." Dean kept trying. "That's why we're here."

"You don't believe me. Nobody believes me. How could they?"

Dean sighed. "Come here."

"What? No."

"You're holding the gun, boss, you're calling the shots. I just wanna tell you something. Come here." listening to Dean, Ron carefully stepped closer to him. "It's the bank manager."

"What?"

"Why do you think we got these getups? Huh? We were monitoring the cameras in the back. We saw the manager." Dean explained. "We saw his eyes."

Ron leaned closer, intrigued. "His laser eyes?"

"Yes." Dean answered, before shaking his head and correcting himself. "No. We're running out of time, okay. We gotta find him before he changes, before he changes into someone else."

"Like I'm gonna listen to you." Ron pulled back, aiming the gun at Dean now. "You're a damn liar." carefully, Dean got to his feet, pissing Ron off more. "I'll shoot you. Get down!"

"Dean." my heart was racing. In a split second I pictured a million different ways Dean could end up lying dead next to me...

But Dean ignored both of us. "Take me, take me with you as a hostage. But we gotta act fast. 'Cause the longer we sit here, the more time he has to change. Look at me, man. I believe you. You're not crazy. There really is something inside this bank."

"All right." Ron nodded. "You come with me." he turned to the hostages. "But everyone else gets in the vault!"

"Come on, move. Move, move." Ron ordered as he led us all to the vault. Once the hostages, Sam and myself were in, he nodded to Dean. "And you lock it up"

I stepped closer to the door as Den began to close it. "I don't like this."

"You scared for me." he grinned.

But I didn't return the grin. I stayed serious. "Yes."

Realising I wasn't messing around, his grin fell. "I'll be fine." he assured me. Nodding to everyone else, he spoke to us all. "It's okay everyone, Just stay cool." with that, the door was closed.

"Who is that man?" a woman asked.

"He's my brother." Sam answered, clearly concerned.

If the woman heard the worry in his voice, she didn't react. Instead, she looked dreamily at the door. "He's so brave."

Give me a break. I rolled my eyes, sliding against the wall a I sat by the door and began to wait.

I’m a Paradox and Today I’m Overwhelmed

I like to describe myself as a paradox, I always try to embrace the “two sides of a coin” that lies within me, many times two opposites. Yesterday was one of the days when I was overwhelmed with paradoxical emotions, leaving me a bit confused myself about what to feel.

I got the news that my grandfather passed away yesterday. He was always a quiet person, I never talked much with him even though I visit him yearly, but he was a pretty cool person. I remember when my then boyfriend –now husband, visited my family to ask my hand in marriage –and my mum dragged him to visit all my grandparents as well, my grandpa who had already blind gently said that he was happy for us. He kept trying to make a conversation with Jake even though he couldn’t talk in English. How Jake slowly held his hand and helped him to walk around the house was probably the cutest thing. I always thought of my grandpa as a cute person –maybe because all my grandpas dotted me, so I had a soft spot for elderly men. Grandpa’s death wasn’t a surprise for us because he was old and even though he didn’t have any terminal illness, he became a lot weaker ever since he lost his sight from cataract, my family had always silently known that he didn’t have much time left.

Unfortunately, life has been tough on this side too. It’s a lot harder for me to get a job here, even simple ones –maybe due to my visa, or my too-Indonesian background, idk. Being at home all the time, I used up a little too much of our internet quota, so I had to hold myself a lot to use the internet for at least the next two weeks. That’s why I received the news about grandpa a bit too late, and I couldn’t answer the videocall from my family when they arrived at his funeral. I told them my condolences and everything but of course, as an Indonesian with a communal family, I felt very guilty for not doing “enough” to show my loss of grandpa. Not that I even know how to make it right, either.

As I was on my phone, I looked up to the social media and alas! People were freaking out! Turned out the parliament and the government of Indonesia had been enacting problematic and controversial bill, KUHP (penal code) while putting an important and hard-fought bill on hold: RUU PKS (prevention of sexual violence bill). One of the activists that I follow on Instagram went on a rally to protest and updated the development through her Instagram stories (she was later invited to join the meeting in when the parliament discuss about the importance of the anti-sexual violence bill, along with the opposition mass), and confirmed how the bill was once again put on hold despite of some parliament member who supported the bill. The penal code, on the other hand, was by the skin of our teeth. Imagine when you could get thrown into jail because a consensual sex, and the one reporting you is the village chief who you don’t even know. Yes, jail term for men and women who have sex outside of marriage –or even merely living together as roommate, someone who talks about sex and contraception even for educational purposes, and even forbid abortions for any reason but medical complications. And that’s just some pieces of it. I am terrified for my nation.

I tried to get a grip of myself and try to be positive for the rest of my day. I remembered that I’ve got a dance class to sign up for. After facing all my cultural problem trying to ask my husband to pay for the class, and even though I might not be able to post too much excitement for the sake of self-modesty in such a bad atmosphere between my social circle, I thought at least, I could escape the misery. I asked a tarot reader before, on a free card pull session of yes/no question, and she said I should go to the dance class (I was hesitating because I feel bad to spend money for leisure when money is tight in our household) and so I was getting more determined to go! Unfortunately, once again, life squeezed a lemon on my freshly wounded heart. The dance class was sold out. Apparently, I the website didn’t display the “sold out” sign on the mobile version, I only found out when I opened it in my PC, as I tried to pay. And that was the last dance session before summer (it’s still springs here until December).

Between all the depressing mood, my best friend texted me. She heard about my grandpa and gave her condolences. After a brief talk, she asked for my bank account number. I was confused, I wasn’t the one to whom she could give consolation money too. But she said, she just wanted to “treat” me to buy boba tea or any snacks, because she missed me, and she hoped I could remember her while getting my treats. That was it, I couldn’t help it anymore. I cried silently. It was the sweetest thing! I was so touched that I almost forgot my sorrows, my heart warmed up in an instant.

And then I remember my meditation that morning –if it could be called a meditation, but hey, I’m trying! I told myself –and whoever was listening to my inner voice, that I wanted to live in the present. I somehow remembered the big message I got from the Summer Healing session: live in the present, and also from the book I read for it, Love Without Conditions by Paul Ferrini: I don’t have to seek happiness, it’s not in the place with ifs; “If I have enough money…”, “If I were in Bali….”, “If tomorrow we do this…”, happiness is today, now, at this very moment. And so, when I asked myself that evening, after gotten my heart break from sadness, guilt, disappointment, fear, and some warm fuzzy feeling when someone care: did I deserve to be happy? Does it make me a bad person to be happy whilst others are not?

No. I could be happy, and maybe I was happy. Of course, it didn’t make me a bad person, because this was my happiness. You get it? It’s a paradox. You can be happy and sad and disappointed and content and afraid and relieved and angry and calm at the same time, in fact, it’s what we are most of the times! We’re human and life is crazy, we encounter so many things in one day, heck even in one minute that can create many feelings inside us. It’s the prove we’re alive. Only a lot of times, we think about a particular thing or feeling so much –mostly negative ones, we forget that we still have other feelings filling our heart to. Or at other times, we force ourselves to feel only happiness, and denying other feelings, which drives us to a toxic positivity.

The trick of being a paradox is to just be one. Feel everything that’s coming to your plate and make yourself full, then let it go for another day. Your feelings are all valid and they are there for you. Feeling something doesn’t determine your worth, doing something does. It reminds me of a statement of a psychotherapist I quoted for my IGTV discussion: “it’s not the whole person that’s toxic, but it’s their behaviour or the relationship you have with them.” For example, if instead of writing this post I wrote a tweet saying: “Fuck you all pussies, suck it up, our country is a shit hole. But idc, I’m happy today!” Well, I’m an asshole, because by then I value others’ feelings less and probably denying my own negative feelings too. When it comes to social context, it’s always better to realize the boundaries –which I would save for another day’s post.

But basically, I just wanna say that it’s okay to be overwhelmed with life. It’s fucking normal. What I do is that I embrace it into my identity and try to do what I can for the better, even only signing an online petition or writing a blog post. Cherish yourself first!

Don’t Forget to Breathe

Chapter 6

RivaMika

General Audiences

AO3

Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

The next day Mikasa grabbed her mail as she headed back up to her apartment after classes. The end of the semester was settling in and she had to sit through three classes wherein the professors reminded their pupils of rapidly approaching due dates. She wasn’t too worried about the final essay or the project due the week after next. She had already completed the research for the essay - all that was left was to write it - and the project was just missing a few final touches. The group presentations due the final week of classes, a mere three weeks away now, were going to be horrendous but she’d come to expect that about all group work.

She let herself into her apartment before shuffling through the larger-than-usual stack of mail. The first couple items were flyers that she tossed into the recycling without a second glance. A non-specific credit card offer got the same treatment. There was a bank statement that she set aside and a coupon book that got tossed after the flyers. On the bottom of the stack was a letter addressed to her with no return address. Curious, she turned it over in her hands. There was no stamp either so she supposed it was from the management of the complex.

Small frown in place, she used her keys to tear open the flap. When she opened the letter and read the large words at the top of the document her heart nearly stopped and a nauseous lump clogged her throat.

NOTICE OF EVICTION

She scanned the words but only caught snatches at a time - regret to inform - she wondered if this could be some sort of joke - must vacate within - her eyes flicked down - scheduled demolitions begin - to the signature and it didn’t look like a forgery but what did she know? She wandered into the living room eyes fixed on the document but not really seeing it. She collapsed into her chair and dragged her eyes away from those three horrific words confronting her at the top of the page to take a couple deep, calming breaths. Once her thoughts stopped whirling in a panic she returned to the document and read it carefully from beginning to end.

It was addressed to her, her full name and current address listed, which seemed redundant as the envelope had been addressed to her as well. It was dated the previous day. The document began:

Dear Ms. Ackerman,

We regret to inform you that your tenancy is no longer viable. Pursuant to Section 4.13 of your residency agreement you are being provided with two months notice for eviction. You must vacate within two calendar months of the date on this letter.

There was more, information about the plans for the lot - demolition and the construction of more lucrative office space - but what it boiled down to was that she had two months to find another living situation. There wasn’t anything she could do to fight it. She even double checked her residency agreement; Section 4, the section on terminating residency, was filled with little loopholes like the 2-month eviction notice. She had glanced through it all before signing but how could she have known that the management would decide to rezone the property?

The next few days passed in a haze. Mikasa started her essay and finished the project. She attempted to communicate with her group even though it was a mostly futile endeavor. She began looking for new places to live. She didn’t breathe a word of her upcoming eviction when she went to dinner with her parents on Friday. She extended apologies on Levi’s behalf, that he never gave, and let them know that he would try to be available the next time he received an invitation. This delighted her parents but their enthusiasm seemed to dwindle while she picked at the food on her plate. Occasionally she would eat a half-hearted forkful and it was when she was in the middle of one of these that her father spoke.

“Mikasa, what’s wrong?”

She glanced up, back down to her plate, and then back up again. Both her parents were watching her with small worried frowns. She shook her head a little hoping they might be willing to drop it.

“It’s not Levi is it?” Her mom asked, “You’ve been pretty tight-lipped about him from day one. He’s not treating you poorly is he?”

Her eyebrows shot up, her mom sounded genuinely concerned, “No, Levi’s fine. Why did you think it was him?”

Her mother leaned forward to catch one of Mikasa’s hands with both of her own, “I knew you weren’t comfortable with the arrangement. I really expected you to refuse to see him again. When you didn’t,” she paused, a brief look of pain flaring across her usually smooth face, “I was worried you only accepted to make us happy. No matter what the cost was to yourself.”

That, Mikasa winced internally, that was a little too close to the truth for her liking. So she changed the subject.

“It’s really not Levi. It’s just the end of semester. Everything is a little crazy. I can’t get in contact with my group for a presentation worth thirty percent of our grade and I haven’t had a chance to start studying for finals. I’m not sleeping too well either which hasn’t helped.”

Her parents seemed skeptical but they let it go. When she excused herself earlier than usual that night they admonished her to get some rest. She agreed and drove home carefully. She went up to her apartment and changed into pyjama bottoms and an old shirt. She glanced at her bed for longer than she cared to admit before dragging herself out to the living room. She hadn’t been exaggerating when she had said she hadn’t done any studying for finals yet - now less than a month away. She collected her notes and textbook for her easiest class and poured over the information until she began losing the battle to keep her eyelids open. Leaving her books on the couch she staggered down the hall and collapsed onto her bed. She managed to worm her way under the blankets before passing into a dreamless sleep.

***

As much as she wanted to sleep in the next day she restrained her impulse to hit the snooze button, more than once anyway, and dragged herself out of bed. Her hair was mussed beyond her ability to fix unless she actually gave a damn and at that point she really didn’t. She contained the unruly strands with a spare hair tie she found in her night stand before going to the kitchen. She made coffee and slumped against the counter while she waited for it to brew.

She tried to get her sluggish thoughts to form a coherent to-do list for the weekend but wasn’t having much luck pre-caffeination. She had finally decided that after she completed her essay she would try apartment hunting again when her phone beeped. Of course it was Levi.

Would you like to meet Wednesday?

She groaned. She didn’t feel the same dread as before at the thought of seeing him but she was exhausted and there was so much work she had to do over the next couple weeks. Next week was basically out of the question for her. As was the week after that. And so on until she was finished finals. She poured herself a coffee and, wondering how accepting he would be, typed out a quick reply.

Raincheck? Finals are breathing down my neck

She took a few small sips, frowning at her phone, as she waited for his reply. When it came it was more than slightly anticlimactic.

Alright.

It was only after she’d rolled her eyes at her phone, placing it gently back on the counter, and griped her coffee mug with both hands, for the delicious warmth it was exuding, that she realized she was more worried about upsetting Levi than she had been about keeping up the charade for her parents. Her grip tightened. She didn’t realize how badly the realization had startled her until a little of the hot coffee had sloshed over the rim and she jerked her left hand away to shake it as she hissed at the pain and shock. She glared at her phone as though her wayward thoughts were Levi’s fault and stalked into the living room to pick up studying where she’d left off. She had a lot of work to do.

***

The next weeks passed in the same haze as the one before. She finished her essay and finally managed to get the group together to work out the details of the presentation. She studied for all of her classes. She went to work and fielded phone calls from her mother. She drank too much coffee and slept too little. Somehow she found time for the gym. She wasn’t positive how she managed that but it might have involved selling her soul.

Levi messaged her again.

It was nothing serious - he just occasionally asked her how she was managing. So she filled him on the little details that now comprised her life. Like looking at the clock in the artificially lit library commons and being entirely unsure if it was three in the morning or the afternoon. He called her an idiot and told her to get some sleep after that comment. She told Sasha about that and claimed to be offended but she wasn’t really. Sasha had a knowing look on her face that Mikasa didn’t want to think about so she threw back her drink and claimed she had to get back to studying. At least that wasn’t a lie.

She only had two days between her last class and her first final but thankfully all her finals fell on the same week. It meant a little initial craziness but it also meant she was free that much sooner. As she walked out of her last exam she pulled her phone out and texted Levi.

Done! I feel like celebrating

She was most of the way to her car when she felt the phone buzz in her pocket. She pulled it out and checked it.

Do you have a specific celebration plan in mind?

Her fingers typed out a quick response.

Not really but it probably involves actually sleeping

The next time her phone buzzed she was driving so she ignored it until she pulled into her parking garage a few minutes later. She put the car in park and removed her seatbelt and was reaching for her phone when it buzzed again. She rolled her eyes at his impatience.

If you want I could take you out for drinks. As a congratulations.

If you think it’s a stupid idea you can just say so.

She frowned a little at the second message before looking back up at the one before it. Did she want to go for drinks with Levi? She wasn’t sure. At the same time it sounded like a good way to relax after finals. A couple pints of beer, or maybe something stronger, would go down wonderfully right about then. Mind made up she responded.

Chill I was driving

Drinks sound good

When?

Exactly how to Pick Your Perfect Cannabis Seed - farmerslabseeds

When it concerns gathering, among one of the most interesting points you can pick to collect are cannabis seeds. These debatable little beans are just one of the most genetically engineered organic items offered, probably only somewhat behind roses. The remarkable characteristics together with the large variety of different strains of seed readily available make them among the most interesting and most overwhelming collections to begin.

Among the pursuits some collectors carry out is to try and also discover their best marijuana seed. Every different pressure holds a different set of characteristics which will incorporate to offer you with the perfect seed that matches your taste. Here is what to try to find ...

THC

THC stands for 'Tetrahydrocannabinol'. This is the primary psychoactive element found in a totally grown marijuana plant as well as when you look for seeds you will see the THC percentage provided. While your seeds will not include any kind of real THC, every pressure has actually been developed to accurately generate a plant that will have this degree of THC. If you are fortunate enough to live in a nation where expanding marijuana is lawful you will certainly have the ability to evaluate it out. If you are not, you will certainly need to use your best seed having the potential to create specific levels of THC.

Yield

Another thing you may like to learn about your cannabis seed is how much marijuana it could make if it were lawful to grow it. Return is generally measured in grams and is worked out by the average yield discovered by the dog breeder. If you like to recognize your seed might produce a high yield this is an attribute you might like to consider Canada.

Pressure

Choosing a strain is not practically the vital stats though. You discover rather similar THC and also return degrees on various marijuana seeds so you require to select a pressure you like. A good way to do this is to take a look at ones that have actually won genuine honors for high quality. One of the most respected of which is certainly the High Times Cannabis Cup. Annually they judge what seed bank and what private marijuana seed is the very best of the year. Feminized seeds are probably the most a must at the moment.

The Michigan Medical Marijuana Act: The First 24-Months

This short article chronicles the application of the Michigan Medical Cannabis Act, passed through referendum in the 2008 basic political election. As expected, as soon as put on our human tapestry, the Mixed Martial Arts has actually gone through some already-classic judicial analyses, with a solid promise of more to come Weed Seeds.

The Michigan Legislature passed the Mixed Martial Arts on December 4, 2008, making Michigan the 13th state to enable the cultivation and also belongings of cannabis for medical objectives. The Act pointed out a collection of findings connected to the useful uses marijuana in dealing with nausea, discomfort as well as various other impacts from a range of debilitating clinical problems. The Act also keeps in mind that according to the FBI, 99% of all marijuana possession apprehensions across the country are done pursuant to state, rather than federal regulation. It is essential to note that ownership of the medication remains unlawful under federal regulation.

The MMA defines a "debilitating clinical condition" as cancer, glaucoma, HIV, hepatitis C, and various other conditions together with other chronic ailments which trigger discomfort as well as nausea. A "main caregiver" is defined as, "a person that is at least 21 years old as well as who has agreed to assist with an individual's clinical use cannabis and also that has never been founded guilty of a felony entailing controlled substances." A "certifying person" is "a person that has been diagnosed by a physician as having a debilitating medical problem."

The basic auto mechanics of the Act supply that certifying patients and medical care companies (marijuana growers) should have a "registry identification card", provided by the Division of Community Health. Tens of hundreds of applications have actually been processed; numerous thousands stay pending with even more submitted every week; the demand for qualification, for cannabis, is relatively pressing below in Michigan.

The high need is reasonable. Cardholders are exempt to detain or prosecution for cannabis possession/distribution offered the individual maintains much less than 2.5 ounces of smokeable pot. Care carriers are permitted to preserve approximately 12 plants for each qualified patient; stems, seeds and also unusable origins do not count towards the plant restriction.

Physicians also have immunity from prosecution relative to their certification of the individual's requirement for the drug, so long as they carry out an analysis of the person's medical history. A genuine physician-patient relationship is called for Weed Seeds.

Because the UNITED STATE High court determined the case of Conant vs Walters in 2003, medical professionals have actually been able to recommend a patient's use marijuana (but can not suggest pot by putting the referral on a prescription kind). Doctors can likewise make notes regarding their suggestions in the individual's chart and can indicate in support of a patient's medical use cannabis in a court of law. The High court's Conant decision led the way for flow of the MMA.

Primary care companies might get settlement for their marijuana. Offering marijuana stuff also is allowed under the Mixed Martial Arts, and also such materiel can not be confiscated.

Individuals merely existing during the use of cannabis for clinical purposes furthermore are exempt to apprehend.

Audio too great to be real? When marijuana is dispersed to persons other than certifying clients, the registration card is withdrawed, and also the provider undergoes a 2-year felony. Additionally, driving while under the influence of cannabis stays illegal, as does smoking in public. Usage or belongings of pot on school premises or on institution buses stays restricted. And indeed, it remains prohibited to smoke in a jail or a penitentiary, no matter your clinical condition.

The Act established a short timetable (120-days) for the Division of Community Health and wellness to promulgate laws for the management of the possession/distribution credential. The hold-up in the promulgation of these regulations gave way to complication among police, the public as well as some courts regarding what is lawful and what is illegal.

As an example, the 2009 Redden instance from Madison Levels included a pair arrested during a drug-raid. The couple had requested accreditation cards prior to their apprehension and also obtained the cards a month after their apprehension. In dismissing the situation brought against the two accuseds, 43rd District Court Robert Turner identified the Mixed Martial Arts as, "the worst piece of regulations I have actually seen in my life", according to the Detroit News. Judge Turner's dismissal was appealed by the Oakland Region District Attorney where it was affirmed in the Oakland Region Circuit Court Weed Seeds.

Earlier this year, the Michigan Court of Appeals attested Oakland Circuit Court Martha Anderson's reinstatement of the criminal fees against Redden and also Clark. Currently, the accused Madison Levels pair will certainly either need to plead or most likely to trial.

At the time of the raid on the pair's house, the Oakland Region Sheriff took 1.5 ounces of pot, some nominal money, as well as about 21 little plants. 3 weeks before the raid, each accused had actually sent to a medical certification test with Dr. Eric Eisenbud (deficient up) of Colorado (and of the lately started Hemp as well as Marijuana Foundation Medical Facility) and made an application for a clinical marijuana card pursuant to the MMA. Their cards, however, had actually not been released at the time of the raid.

At the couple's initial evaluation prior to Court Turner, the prosecutor suggested that: a) the defendants were called for to avoid "medicating" with cannabis while their applications to the State of Michigan's Division of Neighborhood Health were pending; and also b) the offenders did not have an authentic physician-patient connection with Dr. Eisenbud.

Judge Turner suggested that the Mixed Martial Arts was confusing about what made up an affordable quantity of marijuana. The offenders in this situation were found with an ounce and also a half; the Mixed Martial Arts enables 2.5 ounces.

Judge Turner made the adhering to ruling:

Because of that, I think that section 8 qualifies the offenders to a dismissal, although they did not possess the valid medical card, due to the fact that area 8 says if they can reveal the truth that a physician believed that they were likely to receive a restorative advantage, and this doctor demonstrated that. As Well As Dr. Eisenbud is a physician certified by the State of Michigan. Which's the only demand that the law has. You don't have to be any sort of doctor, you just need to be a licensed physician by the State of Canada.

So, based on that, I find section 8 does apply. And I believe I'm obligated to disregard this issue based upon area 8 of the statute.

Under the applicable court guidelines, the district attorney appealed the area court termination to the Oakland Circuit Court. Backwards her district court counter-part, Judge Anderson held that Court Turner improperly functioned as a finder of truth in disregarding the situation. Judge Anderson likewise wondered about whether the couple can avail themselves of the Mixed Martial Arts's affirmative defenses at all, because of their purported failings to comply with the arrangements of the act; i.e. keeping the pot set apart as well as locked-up, and also waiting until they received their cards from the Division of Community Health and wellness prior to expanding their pot.

At the time of the Madison Levels breast, however, the couple can not have gotten cannabis cards due to the fact that the DCH had actually not begun releasing the cards. To day, practically 30,000 certifications have actually been released.

In their September 2010 opinion affirming Court Martha Anderson, the Court of Appeals held that the MMA's affirmative defenses were readily available to accuseds despite the fact that they did not have their cards at the time their pot was confiscated. The Court of Appeals held versus defendants, nevertheless, on the basis that, at the time of their preliminary exam in district court, their affirmative protection under the MMA was incomplete as well as therefore developed truth questions U.S.A..

The Court located the following reality problems to be unsolved at the final thought of the exam: the bona fides of the physician-patient relationship; whether the amount of marijuana discovered in the residence was "affordable" under the Act; and whether the cannabis was being used by accuseds for palliative purposes, as required by the Act Weed Seeds.

The most intriguing aspect of the Court of Appeals' Redden decision is the scathing agreeing viewpoint of Judge Peter D. O'Connell. Judge O'Connell wrote separately due to the fact that he would certainly have much more narrowly tailored the affirmative defenses offered in the Mixed Martial Arts, and since he wanted to "elaborate" on some of the general discussion of the Act stated in the briefs and at oral disagreement.

Specify he did. Judge O'Connell's 30-page point of view very first notes that the belongings, distribution and also manufacture of cannabis stays a government criminal activity and additional notes that Congress has specifically discovered the plant to have "no acceptable medical usages."

In what will definitely end up being a timeless line from his point of view, Court O'Connell writes, "I will certainly attempt to cut through the haze surrounding this regulations." The judge is skeptical that folks are actually using pot to "medicate" and believes that they are utilizing the plant for recreational functions.

He likewise bears in mind of the low quality of the regulations to the extent that it conflicts with various other provisions set forth in the Health and wellness Code.

Court O'Connell next takes an excursion de force through the legislative background of the MMA. Here, we discover that the act was based on version regulations proposed by powerbrokers referred to as the Cannabis Plan Project of Washington D.C. The group advances both the medical and leisure uses cannabis.

" Confusion", as well as great deals of it, is just how Court O'Connell views the Mixed Martial Arts. In one of the many explanations to his opinion, the Court advises against all cannabis usage up until the score is resolved, once and for all, by the Michigan Supreme Court:

Up Until our Supreme Court provides a final comprehensive analysis of this act, it would certainly be prudent for the people of this state to avoid all use of marijuana if they do not wish to run the risk of breaking state regulation. I once more issue a stern warning to all: please do not try to translate this act on your very own. Reviewing this act is similar to participating in the Triwizard Competition explained in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: the labyrinth that is this statute is so complicated that the outcome will just be understood once the High court has had a possibility to evaluate and also eliminate the haze from this act USA.

Euan Abercrombie, 1st year pupil at the Hogwarts college would possibly remark; "Wow".

For their part, the criminal defense bar, commenting through listserv, have actually generally gone wild over the agreeing point of view, with its numerous web site referrals and photos of marijuana ads. The consensus among the protection bar, nonetheless, is that the bulk viewpoint is proper and that Judge Anderson, at the end of the day, got it right; Redden was not the cleanest instance to dismiss under the Act Canada.

The Oakland Region Constable as well as Prosecutor appropriately anticipated the Court of Appeals' September decision. A few weeks prior to the Redden choice, they conducted a collection of dispensary raids, ruffling tons of plumes along the road Weed Seeds.

Naturally, an application for leave to charm has actually been filed with the Michigan Supreme Court.

For extra procedural advice, we have prepared a lawful guide for the MMA for those looking for to use cannabis for legitimate palliative objectives under the Act. Bear in mind, nevertheless, that a minimum of one appellate jurist would certainly have individuals managing persistent "discomfort" with prescription medications till the medical cannabis mess is figured out by our Supreme Court.

Redden is not the only instance causing some MMA consternation. Rodney Koon's case has actually received prestige. Koon was founded guilty of a misdemeanor due to the fact that he confessed to authorities that he used marijuana to "medicate" previously in the day that he was pulled-over by the authorities. Koon additionally admitted to taking in a beer, however his blood alcohol was within lawful restrictions. Without sufficient funds to appeal, Koon is stuck with his conviction, even though he had a pot card at the time of his arrest.

Ordinances have sprung-up across the state to trim the extent of the Mixed Martial Arts. Bloomfield Hills, for instance, passed an ordinance in October needing card-carrying certified clinical marijuana customers to register with the Bloomfield Town Authorities Division. The statute likewise requires the submission of a type to the police revealing the "person's" vehicle drivers certify number as well as date of birth, whether the individual possesses or rents their home, and also identifying how many various other patients share their house.

Furthermore, the statute limits the number of clinical marijuana people that can live at one address and also prohibits growing clinical cannabis anywhere in Bloomfield Area. Infraction of the regulation is a 93-day misdemeanor lugging a $500 fine.

Bloomfield Hills is among several towns that have actually passed statutes that restrict the provisions of the Medical Cannabis Act, criminalize conduct accredited by the Act, or both.

Now the statute is the topic of a lawsuit submitted against the territory by two smart [their "customers" are John and Jane Doe] proficient criminal defense lawyer: Tom Loeb as well as Neil Rockind. The claim, unquestionably heading to the Michigan High Court, does not look for cash damages but instead, declarative and injunctive alleviation UNITED STATES.

Town by area, the MMA is coming under attack for a glaring flaw: it is a sham for leisure pot customers. Yes, there are legitimate clinical cannabis customers available, in spades, for whom the Mixed Martial Arts was created to aid. There are also many "people" whose medical records were examined with a passing look by a physician more thinking about the high-volume evaluation charges than in identifying whether the individual has a genuine persistent medical condition of the sort required by the MMA. The LawBlogger asks yourself how many certified customers, among the 10s of hundreds of backlogged applicants, are under the age of 25; or are university youngsters whose only persistent condition is their desire to event down Canada.

As these lawful difficulties grind with the court system over the following two or 3 years, the Mixed Martial Arts will certainly undergo death-by-ordinance on a township-by-township basis. Lawyer Rockind as well as Loeb mentioned in their interview announcing their lawsuit that the regulation in Bloomfield Hills can not stand to the level it negates a legitimate Michigan regulation Weed Seeds.

While it might not be the best example of tightly prepared regulation; while it most certainly deals with troubles of perception/deception, the Mixed Martial Arts is a legitimate state regulation. The appellate courts will certainly have no option however to revoke ordinances that limit the scope of the Act, or criminalize it's legitimate functions.

This past autumn, the recent election was a set-back for dynamic marijuana regulations. California's Suggestion 19 lost by a ballot of 56% to 44%. If successful, the proposed regulation would certainly have been the very first in the nation to legalize the leisure use marijuana.

In Arizona, the clinical marijuana proposition lost.

In California, the pot effort shed due to the fact that too few citizens under age 26 turned out and also moderate citizens turned down the initiative. Current violence with Mexican medicine gangs in both California and also Arizona did not aid either effort.

Combined messages drift around the issue here in Michigan. Recently, a substantial pot-expo set up for the Pontiac Silverdome, billed as the biggest pot-party on the planet, was canceled at the last minute.

All this raises the questions: do we actually require to legalize pot? Is ours a pot-smoking nation? Does marijuana have genuine palliative homes?

Among the significant problems of perception with medical cannabis laws is that individuals are just experiencing the administrative steps to obtain "clinically" accredited to utilize pot, but are smoking on an entertainment basis.

No great results a regulation that sets demands that are perceived as a farce. It would certainly probably be far better to legalize cannabis outright, then regulate its manufacturing, sale, as well as circulation.

The golden state was truly eagerly anticipating billions in pot-derived state earnings. Below in Michigan, there is confusion regarding who can lawfully grow pot and just how it should be expanded and dispersed to "clients". In Arizona, the question is too close to call 3-days after the mid-term political elections.

So then, what are they smoking? That's what Detroit-based Cannabis Guidance lawyer Matthew Abel is asking of the Michigan Us Senate Judiciary Committee, who satisfied previously this year, in January, in order to talk about a package of bills which would change the general public wellness code so that clinical marijuana must be given by pharmacologists, as well as to identify medical cannabis as a timetable 2 dangerous drug USA.

" It appears that if the legislature ever before passed these costs, they would certainly be in problem with the clinical cannabis law," Abel stated. "So they would certainly require a 3/4 vote to supersede the law, and also you know that they can't also obtain 3/4 of the legislature to settle on lunch, not to mention this."

Southfield-based lawyer Michael Komorn, who also works as the treasurer for the Michigan Medical Marijuana Organization, stated the costs are similar to bills introduced last year; in 2014, the bills which additionally would certainly have allowed for 10 marijuana expanding facilities to be associated with a drug store, obtained no traction.

This year's manifestation of the expenses would essentially make all production of clinical cannabis illegal, though use would still be protected by regulation, Komorn said.

" It's like the stamp act, arcane and also with no understanding of what truly is going on with client demands," Komorn stated. "Profits, this is an attempt to rescind the Michigan clinical marijuana act."

It's impossible, Abel said, to need dispensing of medical marijuana with pharmacies.

" They do not have a supply, and also no chance to obtain it. There's just no other way for them to do it," Abel stated.

Still, he's resting easy with the concept that the costs are going nowhere, and also are actually much more concerning grandstanding for political popularity than they have to do with the Michigan clinical cannabis law.

Cannabis at Home, in the Automobile, and also the Workplace

The movement for the total legalization of marijuana continues to go through a number of stages, from outright enforcement (Texas), to decriminalization (several states), to clinical usage just (California as well as others), to hands-off, do-what-you-want (freshly developed in Colorado and Washington.) We understand from long experience how inadequately points turn out whenever the government steps in and restricts anything that changes the mood, satisfaction, or sobriety of its people Canada.

When reviewing the social effect of marijuana versus various other stimulants, an usual concern emerges: "Would you instead live next door to 100 pot cigarette smokers or one meth individual?" As well as everyone that lives beside the marijuana fanatic knows why he is always the most effective choice. Pot Guy is stereotypically mellow as well as peaceful, while Meth Guy is disruptive, flustered, paranoid, loud, and also intrusive of other people's requirement for tranquility. Weed individuals go to rest; tweaker individuals keep you from obtaining any kind of. It's tough to get some rest when your neighbor is servicing his transmission or sawing steel pipes at 3:00 a.m., Lynyrd Skynyrd music blasting away.

As such, pro-marijuana reform teams commonly talk with the family member threats of alcohol, in terms of the overall health and wellness threats and also behavior issues, when contrasted to their medicine of selection. Alcohol is labeled by many medical professionals as a whole-body poisonous substance (a flavored one, yet damaging nonetheless). It impacts every body organ, starting with the liver and brain, in addition to the kidneys, bladder, belly, as well as pancreas. The accompanying sinister behavioral concerns connected to alcohol abuse are well-noted and also tragic, ranging from homicide, suicide, and also sexual assault to residential violence, youngster misuse, as well as arbitrary or targeted attacks on people that went across the fierce enthusiast's course.

Hefty marijuana smokers certainly can not overlook the influence on the human brain as well as body, from anxiety or memory issues, to lung damages to numerous forms of cancer. (Inhaling cancer causing smoke is not the very best means to take in anything, therefore the development towards dosing with marijuana-flavored foods, candy, sauces, and so on).

When I teach my work environment physical violence avoidance programs, we discuss the medicines that tend to be a disinhibitor for violence, with alcohol being Primary. When people ask me if cannabis individuals can end up being terrible, before I can answer, some wag in the group typically screams, "Not unless they run out!" All of us laugh, we agree that marijuana is not a medicine that is linked to violence, like alcohol as well as stimulants, and also we go on Canada.

Yet while pro-pot individuals can take the high road (no word play here meant) over their alcohol-using equivalents when it pertains to physical violence, or getting behind the wheel of a cars and truck loaded on either, the argument as to just how much is excessive is simple to measure for one and also not so for the other.

While the national criterion for driving while intoxicated is a blood alcohol level of at least.08, there is no set standard for marijuana use and driving. This is the disagreement the pro-marijuana entrance hall has yet to master. Just how much THC-CCOH (a metabolite in cannabis) in a vehicle driver is excessive - enough to cause impairment - or too little to make a difference? Some clinical studies are considering how many nanograms per milliliter of THC-CCOH in the vehicle driver's urine can recommend a criterion for disability, yet so far this dimension is also inaccurate due to the fact that it does not consider the individual's driving capability.

Original Post from Krebs on Security Author: BrianKrebs

In April 2013, I received via U.S. mail more than a gram of pure heroin as part of a scheme to get me arrested for drug possession. But the plan failed and the Ukrainian mastermind behind it soon after was imprisoned for unrelated cybercrime offenses. That individual recently gave his first interview since finishing his jail time here in the states, and he’s shared some select (if often abrasive and coarse) details on how he got into cybercrime and why. Below are a few translated excerpts.

When I first encountered now-31-year-old Sergei “Fly,” “Flycracker,” “MUXACC” Vovnenko in 2013, he was the administrator of the fraud forum “thecc[dot]bz,” an exclusive and closely guarded Russian language board dedicated to financial fraud and identity theft.

Many of the heavy-hitters from other fraud forums had a presence on Fly’s forum, and collectively the group financed and ran a soup-to-nuts network for turning hacked credit card data into mounds of cash.

Vovnenko first came onto my radar after his alter ego Fly published a blog entry that led with an image of my bloodied, severed head and included my credit report, copies of identification documents, pictures of our front door, information about family members, and so on. Fly had invited all of his cybercriminal friends to ruin my financial identity and that of my family.

Somewhat curious about what might have precipitated this outburst, I was secretly given access to Fly’s cybercrime forum and learned he’d freshly hatched a plot to have heroin sent to my home. The plan was to have one of his forum lackeys spoof a call from one of my neighbors to the police when the drugs arrived, complaining that drugs were being delivered to our house and being sold out of our home by Yours Truly.

Thankfully, someone on Fly’s forum also posted a link to the tracking number for the drug shipment. Before the smack arrived, I had a police officer come out and take a report. After the heroin showed up, I gave the drugs to the local police and wrote about the experience in Mail From the Velvet Cybercrime Underground.

Angry that I’d foiled the plan to have me arrested for being a smack dealer, Fly or someone on his forum had a local florist send a gaudy floral arrangement in the shape of a giant cross to my home, complete with a menacing message that addressed my wife and was signed, “Velvet Crabs.”

The floral arrangement that Fly or one of his forum lackeys had delivered to my home in Virginia.

Vovnenko was arrested in Italy in the summer of 2014 on identity theft and botnet charges, and spent some 15 months in arguably Italy’s worst prison contesting his extradition to the United States. Those efforts failed, and he soon pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and wire fraud, and spent several years bouncing around America’s prison system.

Although Vovnenko sent me a total of three letters from prison in Naples (a hand-written apology letter and two friendly postcards), he never responded to my requests to meet him following his trial and conviction on cybercrime charges in the United States. I suppose that is fair: To my everlasting dismay, I never responded to his Italian dispatches (the first I asked to be professionally analyzed and translated before I would touch it).

Seasons greetings from my pen pal, Flycracker.

After serving his 41 month sentence in the U.S., Vovnenko was deported, although it’s unclear where he currently resides (the interview excerpted here suggests he’s back in Italy, but Fly doesn’t exactly confirm that).

In an interview published on the Russian-language security blog Krober[.]biz, Vovnenko said he began stealing early in life, and by 13 was already getting picked up for petty robberies and thefts.

A translated English version of the interview was produced and shared with KrebsOnSecurity by analysts at New York City-based cyber intelligence firm Flashpoint.

Sometime in the mid-aughts, Vovnenko settled with his mother in Naples, Italy, but he had trouble keeping a job for more than a few days. Until a chance encounter led to a front job at a den of thieves.

“When I came to my Mom in Naples, I could not find a permanent job. Having settled down somewhere at a new job, I would either get kicked out or leave in the first two days. I somehow didn’t succeed with employment until I was invited to work in a wine shop in the historical center of Naples, where I kinda had to wipe the dust from the bottles. But in fact, the wine shop turned out to be a real den and a sales outlet of hashish and crack. So my job was to be on the lookout and whenever the cops showed up, take a bag of goods and leave under the guise of a tourist.”

Cocaine and hash were plentiful at his employer’s place of work, and Vovnenko said he availed himself of both abundantly. After he’d saved enough to buy a computer, Fly started teaching himself how to write programs and hack stuff. He quickly became enthralled with the romanticized side of cybercrime — the allure of instant cash — and decided this was his true vocation.

“After watching movies and reading books about hackers, I really wanted to become a sort of virtual bandit who robs banks without leaving home,” Vovnenko recalled. “Once, out of curiosity, I wrote an SMS bomber that used a registration form on a dating site, bypassing the captcha through some kind of rookie mistake in the shitty code. The bomber would launch from the terminal and was written in Perl, and upon completion of its work, it gave out my phone number and email. I shared the bomber somewhere on one of my many awkward sites.”

“And a couple of weeks later they called me. Nah, not the cops, but some guy who comes from Sri Lanka who called himself Enrico. He told me that he used my program and earned a lot of money, and now he wants to share some of it with me and hire me. By a happy coincidence, the guy also lived in Naples.”

“When we met in person, he told me that he used my bomber to fuck with a telephone company called Wind. This telephone company had such a bonus service: for each incoming SMS you received two cents on the balance. Well, of course, this guy bought a bunch of SIM cards and began to bomb them, getting credits and loading them into his paid lines, similar to how phone sex works.”

But his job soon interfered with his drug habit, and he was let go.

“At the meeting, Enrico gave me 2K euros, and this was the first money I’ve earned, as it is fashionable to say these days, on ‘cybercrime’. I left my previous job and began to work closely with Enrico. But always stoned out of my mind, I didn’t do a good job and struggled with drug addiction at that time. I was addicted to cocaine, as a result, I was pulling a lot more money out of Enrico than my work brought him. And he kicked me out.”

After striking out on his own, Vovnenko says he began getting into carding big time, and was introduced to several other big players on the scene. One of those was a cigarette smuggler who used the nickname Ponchik (“Doughnut”).

I wonder if this is the same Ponchik who was arrested in 2013 as being the mastermind behind the Blackhole exploit kit, a crimeware package that fueled an overnight explosion in malware attacks via Web browser vulnerabilities.

In any case, Vovnenko had settled on some schemes that were generating reliably large amounts of cash.

“I’ve never stood still and was not focusing on carding only, with the money I earned, I started buying dumps and testing them at friends’ stores,” Vovnenko said. “Mules, to whom I signed the hotlines, were also signed up for cashing out the loads, giving them a mere 10 percent for their work. Things seemed to be going well.”

FAN MAIL

There is a large chronological gap in Vovnenko’s account of his cybercrime life story from that point on until the time he and his forum friends started sending heroin, large bags of feces and other nasty stuff to our Northern Virginia home in 2013.

Vovnenko claims he never sent anything and that it was all done by members of his forum.

-Tell me about the packages to Krebs. “That ain’t me. Suitcase filled with sketchy money, dildoes, and a bouquet of coffin wildflowers. They sent all sorts of crazy shit. Forty or so guys would send. When I was already doing time, one of the dudes sent it. By the way, Krebs wanted to see me. But the lawyer suggested this was a bad idea. Maybe he wanted to look into my eyes.”

In one part of the interview, Fly is asked about but only briefly touches on how he was caught. I wanted to add some context here because this part of the story is richly ironic, and perhaps a tad cathartic.

Around the same time Fly was taking bitcoin donations for a fund to purchase heroin on my behalf, he was also engaged to be married to a nice young woman. But Fly apparently did not fully trust his bride-to-be, so he had malware installed on her system that forwarded him copies of all email that she sent and received.

Fly,/Flycracker discussing the purchase of a gram of heroin from Silk Road seller “10toes.”

But Fly would make at least two big operational security mistakes in this spying effort: First, he had his fiancée’s messages forwarded to an email account he’d used for plenty of cybercriminal stuff related to his various “Fly” identities.

Mistake number two was the password for his email account was the same as one of his cybercrime forum admin accounts. And unbeknownst to him at the time, that forum was hacked, with all email addresses and hashed passwords exposed.

Soon enough, investigators were reading Fly’s email, including the messages forwarded from his wife’s account that had details about their upcoming nuptials, such as shipping addresses for their wedding-related items and the full name of Fly’s fiancée. It didn’t take long to zero in on Fly’s location in Naples.

While it may sound unlikely that a guy so immeshed in the cybercrime space could make such rookie security mistakes, I have found that a great many cybercriminals actually have worse operational security than the average Internet user.

I suspect this may be because the nature of their activities requires them to create vast numbers of single- or brief-use accounts, and in general they tend to re-use credentials across multiple sites, or else pick very poor passwords — even for critical resources.

In addition to elaborating on his hacking career, Fly talks a great deal about his time in various prisons (including their culinary habits), and an apparent longing or at least lingering fondness for the whole carding scene in general.

Towards the end, Fly says he’s considering going back to school, and that he may even take up information security as a study. I wish him luck in that whatever that endeavor is as long as he can also avoid stealing from people.

I don’t know what I would have written many years ago to Fly had I not been already so traumatized by receiving postal mail from him. Perhaps it would go something like this:

“Dear Fly: Thank you for your letters. I am very sorry to hear about the delays in your travel plans. I wish you luck in all your endeavors — and I sincerely wish the next hopeful opportunity you alight upon does not turn out to be a pile of shit.”
