Collateral Damage masterlist

“I’ve got you, doll. Hang on,” Bucky whispers as he easily picks you up. He nods at two men storming into the café, guns in their hands. “Cleared.” He confirms and walks toward one of them. “I need Doctor Cho at the mansion and a cleaning team. One is alive; take them.”

“Got it, boss,” the man replies, getting to work. He grabs the barista and drags them out of the café.

“Back entrance,” the second man says, looking at you in Bucky’s arms. “Is that her, Buck?” The tall, dirty-blonde man asks, earning a grunt and a nod from Bucky.”

“Get her book,” Bucky grits out. “Her bag, jacket. Everything belonging to her. I don’t want them to drag her into this shit show.”

"You know, Buck. I'm not one of your men. I came by to have coffee with you and noticed you tried to have some fun." The man remarks as Bucky gives him another stern look. "Alright, I'll get her things while you bring her outside. The car is waiting."

Bucky wastes no time. He leaves the café through the back entrance, yelling orders at more men who come to help him.

One opens the door to the backseat of a black SUV while another helps him get you inside the car. Bucky joins you, taking the first aid kit from the man’s hands.

“We need to go back. Now. She needs a doctor.”

None of the men seems to be surprised that their boss is carrying an injured woman around, or that he didn’t even ask if you want to come with him.

“Where are we going?” You finally ask, a little too late. Getting into a car with a stranger; another mistake.

“Home,” he replies as he opens the first aid kit. He cleans his hands with sanitizer before checking on your arm.

“You don’t know where I live,” you reply, eyes glued to his hands cutting your shirt open. You wince seeing more blood seeping out of the wound.

“My home,” Bucky says while cleaning your wound. “It’s a graze.” He murmurs, relieved. “Why did you throw a book at an armed attacker?”

“I—” You blink a few times. Honestly, you didn’t think much at that moment. Your instinct told you what to do. You threw the book at the attacker to keep them from killing the mysterious man staring at you when he believed you were not looking for months. “I don’t know.”

“I think it will need stitches, but this should do for now.” He wraps a bandage around your arm, careful not to hurt you even more. “Doll, you have to be more careful. No more attacking people with books.”

“But—” you pucker your lips and sniff. “They wanted to hurt you. I had to do something. My mom always told me that people just looking the other way are the same as the ones doing the bad things.”

He gives you a half smile. “She’s not wrong, but you could’ve gotten yourself killed. I don’t want you to die for me, doll.”

You nod and return his smile. “So, can I get your name now that I saved your life? I’d like to know the name of the man who was too shy to have a coffee with me.”

“Bucky.”

“Bucky,” you say his name out loud. “It’s nice to meet you, Bucky. I’m Y/N.” You hold out your hand. “Please tell me not every day in your life is like this.”

He shrugs. “It can be like a slowly flowing river or rapids. You never know.”

Bucky guided you inside a huge house, or rather, a mansion. Protected by a large gate and more armed men. He was careful not to touch your injured arm and placed his hand on the small of your back to lead you upstairs and into a guestroom.

A doctor was waiting, just as ordered, to stitch your arm up and give you painkillers. She was very kind and careful. Maybe because she’s a good doctor—or the fact that Bucky didn’t leave your side.

He sent her home, handing her an envelope, undoubtedly filled with cash. Her payment for fixing you up without asking questions.

"What will happen now?" you asked after she left. “You killed that woman, and the barista is…” Biting your tongue, you tried not to say something wrong. Bucky is a dangerous man, so much you know by now.

“Now, I’ll get you some food and clothes. You need a rest and to sleep the day off. We can talk in the morning, doll,” he softly says, but his expression leaves no room for arguments.

“That’s not what I meant,” you sigh deeply. “What about the police? Do we have to call them, or did your men call them?”

“Doll,” he cups your face, “you are a smart one, aren’t you?” Bucky says, eyes dropping to your lips. “We both know the cops would never believe they attacked us first. I took care of everything. If you want to walk out of my house and life tomorrow and never look back, I’ll never bug you again. But…”

“But…?” You hold your breath and grasp for his hand.

“But, if you stay and let me explain a few things, maybe we can finally have this coffee date you were talking about…”

Chucking Little Red into slenderman's forest to cause issues for Kokichi and Komaeda - Abno anon

Alright we got seven pages now! Only one left and we can escape!

This...took a lot longer then I thought it would it feels like I been stuck in here for months.

But soon we will be out of here and soon those who put us in here will pay!

Big and Might be Bad Wolf: Huh, feels like deju vu.

Probably because we were gonna escape but Komaeda was transported here and it reset the pages.

Sorry about that but well...you are probably lying about your talent so I cannot support you.

Either way hope will get us out of this despairing forest!

Big and Might be Bad Wolf: If we are gonna leave can I say a final farewell to the forest?

Sure knock yourself out Mr. Wolf.

*The Big and Might be Bad Wolf unleashes a bone chilling howl which echoes through the creepy forest*

Well that was...something.

I guess that might be his way of saying farewell...

Big and Might be Bad Wolf: Alright now we can go and-

*Suddenly bullets rain past the Big and Might be Bad Wolf and Kokichi and Nagito had to duck to avoid them*

Oh come on! What has been summoned NOW?!

Wait but if someone else is here then that means...

???: Get out of my way, boy! I'm having a REALLY bad day thanks to that purple juice and now HE is here.

*Upon hearing those words, The Big and Might be Bad Wolf's ears perked up and his expression narrowed*

Big and Might be Bad Wolf: Oh...you are here.

*Emerging from the woods is Little Red Riding Hood Mercenary, smoke coming out of her gun. While her facial expression is hard to see due to her mask, it doesn't take a genius to figure out she's fuming.

The Big and Might Be Bad Wolf though seems to undergo a change, gone is the big cartoony but overall friendly wolf, now he is massive, covered in scars, and looking quite demonic indeed. The Big and Will Be Bad Wolf then lunges at Little Red Riding Hood Mercenary who was busy shooting at him, and not caring if Kokichi or Nagito were caught in the crossfires*

Oh man...that girl looks like she would hang around Maki Roll a lot.

L-let's....put some distance between the two and use this chance to get that last page.

‘why is so much plot going on in lacunosa town’ <— well aware i am in the Town Nearby The Plot Stuff ™️

[fishyartist]

Idk I just think maybe if u assume every person disagreeing with you is a npc or a robot u might just be stupid or something. Learn more ok?

[unnecessarilygrandiose]

the issue begins when you begin to see an entire group of people as subhuman--even if they're on the side of objective wrong. if you see all bad people as subhuman, you're less likely to notice your own self turning into someone as cruel as them--because those people aren't human right? they're a bunch of freaks and monsters and offsprings of the devil. they all want us dead. they rejoice in our suffering. and nothing i can say or do is going to make me like that, because i am human.

before you know it, you're becoming them. it starts with wanting them dead then it goes onto wanting anyone who's associated with them dead and ultimately you become so obsessed with the act of hurting the cruel mass murderers that you completely forget you started this with the intention of protecting people who are vulnerable to being cruelly mass murdered.

and that's how you go from feeling repulsed at seeing your best friend come to the defence of her naive overprivileged prep team to creating a bomb that it kills off her sister, a girl you loved like a sister yourself, a girl you fed and protected.

the issue isn't wanting a bunch of genocidal people dead, it's when you become so obsessed with wanting them dead you forget that there are people in the crossfires, people with lives at stake, people who are going to become collateral damage in your thirst for revenge.

it's not unfair to want revenge. but it's not right to hurt people who are as much victims of the actions of horrible people as you are.

[obstinaterixatrix]

anyway there’s also a series being tl’d which is basically ‘guy who wants to be the bullied mc’s yandere boyfriend ❤️ and kills all the bullies’ and I can understand the revenge fantasy aspect combined with the thriller/horror aspect but honestly when unhinged romances involve other characters it loses me because it guts focus from relationship development. well in this case it isn’t about relationship development, I’d consider the relationship basically just the set up for revenge murder spree. and with the other characters that exist to be killed, the purpose is to create characters that are satisfying to kill and characters that ‘deserve’ to die so some part of the retaliation is ‘justified’ (even if the response is disproportionate). well in general revenge fantasies aren’t my type of narrative

THE BUTCHER

I've met Billy Butcher.

He smells like cigarettes, bad booze, and disappointment. He hasn't shaved in years. I don't know what the fuck is on his coat but it probably ain't seen a washing machine in at least a decade.

The man is the personification of rage in a way that I'm not. I have limits. I have morals. Exceptions.

He. Does. Not.

This man would kill me without a second thought.

I dunno where people get the idea that he's some soft cuddly sweet boi or whatever the fuck the internet slang is these days. So pure uwu

Motherfucker is the most single-minded person I have ever met.

I've chilled out in the past year. He never will. He's not gonna rest until he's dead or all supes are wiped out and Vought's a smoking crater or all of the above.

I'm at least willing to let some supes live if they know their place. See? Reasonable.

And then they showed something else. Across the bottom of the screen, in medium, white letters. The words: One man dead in attack on WKVT. Visiting his grandson from Kansas, heart disease patient succumbs. My own heart stopped. No. No. Oh, God. No.
