School Vacation [Socks Transformation]

The sun beamed down on Sean as he headed home from school for a month-long summer recess. He is excited to see his boyfriend Raymond and little brother Tony after studying in college the whole year abroad. He unlocked the door and to his shock he sees both Raymond and Tony naked, Raymond bent over to suck Tony’s cock.

“W-what are you guys doing?!” Sean says shocked

“What are you doing at home?” The two naked boys exclaimed not expecting to see Sean back so soon.

“Its summer break right now so I thought I’d surprise you guys. . .” Sean says walking passed them. “But I can’t believe you two. . .”

“You weren’t supposed to see this!” Raymond exclaimed, getting up.

“Nobody is!” Sean says closing the blinds “I told you guys it's fine to have some fun but be sure to close the blinds first. We don’t need to give the whole neighborhood a show!” Raymond says sitting at the couch “I can’t believe you guys would resort to public shows, did you guys get bored so quickly?”

Tony got up and held onto Raymond. “We kinda did” Tony said, looking cute like he always did. “But we weren’t putting on a public show, we were just really excited to try something new that we forgot to close the blinds. . .”

“New. . .?” Sean said with a confused look.

“Yeah new” Raymond said petting Tony. “When you left we kinda went crazy with the sex, and vore, so we were trying something new. . . I think its better to show you” Raymond said with a smirk.

Tony sat down and Raymond started sucking on Tony’s cock. The two boys moaning as Raymond worked on Tony’s erect member.

Sean stared intently watching his boyfriend get down on his brother, his cock noticeably erect from under his shorts. But something was weird, Raymond’s arms and legs looked like they were receding into his body and his skin looked darker and more fabric like. The more Raymond sucked the more noticeable his changes were as his body started to shrink.

To Sean’s shock within moments, his boyfriend became a black tube sock with 2 light orange rings on top.

Tony looking like he can barely contain himself took off Raymond’s new body and held it to Sean “Ta-da. . .we are experimenting with object transformation!” He said giggling.

Sean grabbed the sock and noticed it was still moving and throbbing like it was alive, it even smelled like Raymond. “I-is he okay?” Sean said a bit shocked.

“Oh yeah he’s fine we’ve been doing it for a little while now. . .you want to finish the job?” Tony said, pointing at his cock.

Sean put the sock back onto Tony’s rock hard dick and started stroking it with his former boyfriend, the sock visibly tighten and throbbed over Tony’s cock as Tony moans louder and louder. Within minutes of this Tony unleashed his load all over the insides of Raymond. Ribbons of cum spill out or Raymond’s body into the air covering Sean’s face. In that instant Raymond’s sock became limp, and losing his scent as well, no longer throbbing.

“W-what happened?” Sean said, realizing his boyfriend went limp.

Tony gasped for air “The. . .the normal time that someone transforms is about 24 hours max, but if someone cums on them then they become the property of the person who cums on them. . .”

“W-hat?! Can you turn him back” Sean says, licking the sweet cum from Raymond’s body.

“Yeah, I can turn him back whenever, or we wash off the cum he can slowly regain his control, but we wanted to do this for a while. . .last week he made me his fleshlight and kept me like that for a few days, so today he’s gonna be my sock!” Tony grabs the sock out of Sean’s hand and puts it on, cum still covered the inside and out of the shock showing the outline of his toes.

Sean looked wideeyed and lost for words watching his little brother wiggle his toes in his former boyfriend.

“Do you want to try it?” Tony says hugging his brother.

“W-what?” Tony said shocked

“I saw your dick when it happened, you can’t fool me!”

It was true this sort of thing was new to Sean and aroused him “Maybe for a little bit. . .but do I have to suck your dick?” Sean said reluctantly.

“Nah just relax. . .” Tony said as he starts kissing Sean.

The two brother’s moan into each other’s mouth as Sean feels his body warming up, his arms and legs slowly going into him like Raymond’s did. He felt his insides hollowing inside as he shrinks. Within moments he too became a black tube sock with a light blue ring on top.

“Woah. . .” Sean thought to himself.

“Feel’s great doesn’t it” Sean heard Tony’s voice inside his head.

“You can talk to me?” Tony thought

“Of course a link opens up between the transformed and the person who transformed them.”

“Then why can’t I hear Ray? Is he okay?”

“Yeah he’s fine, for the most part he is just a sock now but he is conscious and aware. Don’t worry it's your first time so I won’t cum in you unless you ask!”

Tony then put his foot inside of Sean. Sean’s entire body feels a hot sensation as if Tony’s sweaty foot was going inside his mouth and but at the same time. His body throbbed as if trying suck on his brother’s foot.

“Woah. . .I see you like this!” Tony said with a smirk. He, gets dressed in shorts and a pair of compression tights with a tank top walks over to his shoes and puts his two feet inside.

“Time for a run!” Tony says running out the door. With each step massaging Sean inside the stinky shoe. Sean never had much of a foot fetish, but he is starting to develop one with each step, the feeling of being stepped on intensified as his brother ran around the block, the sweat building up in his shoe.

Tony runs to the tennis court and takes off his running shoe, giving Sean a moment to breath.

“How do you like it so far?” Tony thought, smirking.

“This. . .is nice” Sean thought, not wanting to admit that if he was a person he would have a massive rock hard erection right now.

“Well then, round two!” Tony thought about putting his feet into his tennis shoes, and started to play with his friends. As the quick erratic steps Tony took, Sean felt a pleasure like he never felt before. Luckily for Tony, the compression tights he put on were pretty tight, otherwise people would see his hard cock that he is getting.

As Tony is the one who transformed the two he feels what they feel along with his own pleasure. With every step he takes, he is close to bursting but he is saving himself for later that night. After playing a few rounds, Tony and his friends sat on the benches. One of his friends accidentally steps on Tony’s foot.

“Ah my bad!” the friend said

“N-no problem. . “ Tony says letting out a little bit of precum as Sean felt immense pleasure from being stepped on by Tony’s friend.

That night Tony got on his bed and peeled his socks from his skin, from all the physical activity they were almost glued on. “Hope you two had fun today cuz its my turn now. . .” Tony says stroking his member. Tony already knew because he is connected with Sean, but Sean was about to burst from pleasure as Tony inches closer to cumming.

“I think its time for your feeding time. . .” Tony says picking up Raymond about to wrap his cock with Raymond Sean spoke up.

“W-wait . . .can you cum in me. . .” Sean says embarrassingly “ I want to try too. . .”

Tony had a devilish smile as he picked up his brother and wrapped his sweaty sock body around his cock.

Sean had sucked Tony’s dick already, but this was a whole new feeling. It was as if his entirety of his body was taking this dick as Tony stroke his member with his former brother.

They both moaned in euphoria as the sensation of Tony’s strokes and Sean’s throbbing body melded into a cycle of pleasure felt by both parties.

As Tony precums he reaches for Raymond. “Can’t leave you out as he wraps Raymond around Sean. Sean screams “Oh my god. . .” in a mind numbing ecstasy as he feels like he is being eaten by his former lover, while being fucked by his brother.

Tony gets more aggressive with the two as loads of precum flows out of him.

“S-shit, I can’t take it” the two thought as loads and loads of Tony’s cum erupts from his cock, filling Sean’s body as he feels his link to Tony slowly fade. Loads and loads of cum leaks out of Sean’s body as now he is a limp sock now, he now feels a link with Raymond again.

“How’d you like it” Raymond thought cheekily.

“I want to do this more often for sure. . .” Sean says as he mentaly embraces his lover.

Tony falls asleep with the two still on his cock.

The two lovers stayed that way until shortly before Sean has to return to his school abroad.

The day Sean left he was sitting by the window seat, staring at the outside.

“You two are gonna love it there. . .lots of cute boys to have fun with” Sean says rubbing his crotch.

Underneath his shorts is a pair of what looks like children’s boxer briefs over his cock. The design is that of a cartoon version of Tony and Raymond with large cum stains on it.

You know what? Just because you’d be able to talk my ears off with LuckyBoy!AU, I’m gonna keep asking you about it with long asks so I can get long answers (I love reading long answers since they give out so much info and speculation, while leaving room for discussion as well). So let's have a chat through asks so neither of us have anxiety(?) while talking to each other in messages.

Who would be some of the regulars when Ben is working at the cooffe shop? (I also love this au XD) Would Cooper, Rook, Gwen, Max and/or anyone else go at the same time as a group and have a casual conversation with the barista? Would Ben accidently gain confidential information about the Plumbers this way? I wonder if he would be famous between the aliens and humans near Undertown as one of the few humans that's actually chill with every alien regardless of appearances thanks to knowing Gwen with the Omnitrix from before?

I feel like Ben purposefully avoiding Cooper as his vigilante persona would start as a measure to avoid his identity being exposed (I belive it was Cooper who exposed him in UAF, right?), but later would develop into a troll play, waiting for him to finally find him and play a prank there.

Would Ben play pranks on Will Harangue for giving him bad publicity to the humans? I mean, it's not like he can just appear in front of a camera and tell his side of the story, he would be captured instantly, or interrupted at the very least; and he having his own social media wouldn't work too well since he isn't a tech genius and the Plumbers could track him down.

Also, what has Gwen done that they think they need Ben to protect them from her? Like yeah, in OV there's a lot of property damage, but they don't believe they need protection from him (at least I don't think so), so she must've done something big in order for that to happen.

And now an ask that isn't directly related to Ben XD Who would be some of the people leading an investigation against the vigilante, trying to discover his identity as well as species? Like I imagine Rook would be more of an addon to said investigation, being on the lookout but not actively investigating everything that Ben has been involved with, and Gwen has a lot on her plate, so let's not let her join said investigation.

Oh oh oh, I just thought about it, if Ben could be considered an Anodite in this AU, what happened when Verdona appeared in that one episode of AF? Did she manage to find Ben in the first place and almost but not quite take him away? Does the rest of the family know he's an Anodite and what are their thoughts about it? If they don't then how would Ben explain some of the magic things that he does and someone witness?

Ohohoh, buttering me up are ya? Well you're in for a brain dump.

Ok, first I gotta say: The alien cafe is separate to the plumbers (the plumbers have their on cafeteria, but like to indulge in other food sometimes, and non-instant coffee.)

So I was thinking, one of Ben's regular coworkers is Alan Albright. Reason for this is because Alan is not allowed to go on missions often. He's too young. I mean I know they definitely have child soldiers in OS- buuuut Max's influence has put a stop to that. He's seen how it affected Gwen. So, Alan is put on easy patrols in low crime area, in the city.

Alan, however wants in on the action, so Max had suggested the cafe. Ben and Alan have a very brotherly bond, and Ben (outside of his vigilante life) has been swaying Alan's opinion on both, the plumbers and his alter ego.

Manny, Alan, Helen and Cooper- When not busying himself with the tech lounge- (sorry, Pierce is still dead in this), will often come by the cafe, they sit in a booth and discuss things. Most occasions Ben is invited to sit with them.

When Gwen pops by their interactions are brief, Ben would try to tease her about anything and everything under the sun. "See Kevin lately?" "Oh, got beat by the walking glow stick again, huh?" "Geez, another jail break? 3rd time this week!"

Normally he gets a fiery reaction and a nasty retort.

Of course Ben would take every opportunity he can to get info. At first it wasn't intentional, he'd just eaves drop on a few conversations that interested him. As time goes by though, he's found that a lot of people, plumber, criminal and just outer space travelers, are more than happy to unload some gossip. Ben is very much delighted by that.

He's not exactly famous, he's well known for being a friendly person, yes. But not all throughout Undertown.

ain't cooper the blond dude with some kinda telekenetic power that ended up turning into an almost Kevin duplicate? (i'll fix that) NGL I forgot he grew up in UAF.

Pretty sure the one that exposed Ben was the nerd who was voiced by the VA of Robin (TeenTitans/Go). Now that you bring it up though, that guy... Jimmy, is someone to be avoided, cause he's a snoopy guy. Who also hangs out at the cafe a lot to get details. Always ends up harassing Ben cause he knows Ben has all the juicy gossip.

And yeah Ben would totally take advantage of it to mess with the poor kid.

Definitely. Ben would mess with Will Harangue as much as possible. Especially when he goes live. Ben won't confront him personally, or do anything that could possibly reveal his indentity. He's got a lot of unique mannerisms that his family could quickly pick up on, there's also his voice, although muffled by the mask, if it's recorded enough- it's another identifier.

So that leaves Ben with his sticker trail. They're very bright, almost blinding, so Ben's stickers are an annoying inconvenience. He could also use a weak spell that causes it's victims to yawn/sneeze. Maybe he'll hang in the background briefly and wave. Just some of things he does to get under Harangue's skin basically.

Gwen:

So, you picked up on what I've hinted at. Good.

Before I go into Gwen, I'll say this: The plumbers are stationed on Earth to protect humanity. That means the aliens who have immigrated are less of a priority. That doesn't mean that they're completely unsafe, the plumbers still patrol Undertown and look after the people- just less so.

Aliens that leave Undertown especially- Normally they're ushered back by a few Plumbers standing guard- those that pose a threat or seem to pose a threat are dealt with by the plumbers. Which isn't too bad, just a slap on the back, a fine, maybe jail time.

Unless you run into Gwen. Who is much more intimidating, much more brutish, she won't exactly hold back. So- she hasn't got the best rep with Undertown. She's still a hero. Known throughout the universe. Just not a kind one.

On several occassions, Ben(vigilante) has had to step in to get her to back down from dealing with criminals.

The plumbers don't have a lot to go on with the investigating. Ben doesn't leave any DNA trails, cause anodites have no DNA. No hair strands, no finger prints, no blood. Even his stickers. They got nothing, nada.

That doesn't mean it's completely hopeless. A clean hit to Ben has on more than one occasion shocked him out of his anodite form, reverting him back to human (which is why he has the glasses and face mask, as a just incase scenario.) Sometimes even spooking/shocking him can make him human again. If his focus is messed with he's human, kinda deal.

So the plumbers are aware of this. They do their best to be as violent and destructive when they see Ben. They're attempts usually fail unless they have someone competent enough with them, Ie; Gwen, Rook.

Villains are also aware of this. So risky buiz am I right?

In regards to Verdona; honestly, I feel like having her know about Ben's existence as an anodite would kinda nerf this whole thing completely. Verdona, I bet, would be a massive gossip. Although her contact with Max is limited, he'd hear about it eventually. Game over. There's also Sunny, who would take advantage of this information and spread it across the universe.

So instead maybe Verdona pays a visit later rather than now.

She'd also be less inclined to take Ben back home, I like how Verdona is indifferent to Ben but loves Gwen, I wanna keep that aspect.

To explain any magic happenings that his family or friends have spotted, he just says he's practicing to be an illusionist. Or he broke a glow stick, or his has glitter in his pocket. (He always has something retaining to magenta hidden up his sleeve.)

Hopefully that got all your questions answered for now!

The Addict’s Edict Finale

Era slowed her breath and flattened her ears against her head, with her bright blue eyes twinkling in the shadows. She crawled on all fours through the foliage and beneath the cover of the bushes. Her heart pounded against her chest and temples as she scanned the area; her prey was as cunning as he was quick, and she couldn't afford the luxury of underestimating his reflexes. So she stalked him from the dark like a ghost in the fog. The time to strike was close. She could sense it.

"Scurryin' about ain’t gonna help you none!" Thalen called out, stepping into view. He balanced his magitech rifle on his shoulder as he searched for her, with pupils so dilated she could barely see the yellow of his eyes. Era lowered herself when his gaze swept across her hiding place, but she released her bated breath when he turned to the side. "Is Isenhart's youngest pupil scared a lil'ol me? You ready to yield and drop this farce?" He jerked his head in the opposite direction. "Can't hide forever, lass. Alls you gotta do is knock me on my ass with that stick. Easy peasy, aye? Come on out n'get your ass-whoopin' while it's hot!" His back was turned and his guard was lowered -- it was now or never!

Era dashed out from the foliage and raced across the pond, as silent as a shadow and as quick as a coeurl. She held her bokuto with one hand, letting the tip of the wooden blade brush against the surface of the water. She saw Thalen’s ears point in her direction just as she almost made it to the other side. The Gunslinger whipped around to fire off a shot, but was blinded by a spray of water when she flicked the sword at him. Thoomp! The burst of aether cut through mist and smoke before diving under the surface of the water.

Era reappeared from above, aiming to give this loudmouth a concussion with a downward swing. Like lightning he whipped his revolver up and pointed it over his shoulder! Thoomp! The bokuto bounced backward in Era's grasp when the aether burst ricocheted! Off balance and airborne, she grit her teeth as she tried to correct herself, but he had already stepped out of harm's way.

Her heart was pounding in her head when she landed, bringing the blade across to bounce his rifle away before he could aim at her! She whipped the bokuto back to smash against the side of his head, but he ducked and leaned back! Era stayed kept on the pressure, swinging high when she tried to knock him out, and low when she tried to throw him off balance; but the bastard was quick -- far quicker than she's ever seen him move in her life! When he spun on his heel to avoid another swing, he scraped his cupped fingers along the ground and threw a handful of dirt at her face. She closed her eyes and sputtered for a full second, and that was enough.

Thalen swung the back of his hand as hard as he could, smacking the bokuto out of her grip. Then he lunged forward, driving the butt of his rifle up and slamming her right in the stomach with a weighty thud!

"Haaugh!" Era buckled over and dropped into the dirt, gasping for air and in the fetal position. Reluctantly she opened her eyes and saw her weapon just a couple yalms away; Thalen once again had his back turned, slinging his rifle over his shoulder and basking in his victory. He was talking but she couldn’t really hear him -- she had one last trick up her sleeve. Clutching her stomach as she crawled, she hurried as fast but as quietly as she could to reach her discarded wooden blade. If she could get to her weapon before he had a chance to noti- BLAM BLAM BLAM!

Dust kicked up by her hand, stopping her dead in her tracks. Dust picked up by live rounds. She turned around to see Thalen pointing his hand cannon at her. She completely forgot about his 'pride n'joy'. "I win, princess." He sneered, spinning the sidearm on his finger before sliding it back into his holster. "I told you a swordsman ain't no match for a bastard with a clear shot."

“Woohoo! Yeah! Way to go Thalen!” Coroh cheered and clapped once it was perfectly clear victory of this duel was going to him. Mizuna on the other hand, who was here purely to ensure no one got seriously hurt, finally let out a breath she had been holding for what felt like forever.

Era rubbed dirt from her face as she sat upright, wallowing in her crushing defeat; eight moons of training under Hadriel and she still couldn’t defeat some drunkard with a spare pistol. “You cheated...”

"Cheated? Heh heh heh..." Thalen repeated, chuckling. "You think honor'll protect you when the chips are down? It won't. How did facin' your foes head on go back in Mor Dhona again? You got shot to hell, aye?"

“A real swordsman wouldn’t be beaten so easily…”

“Ah, but that’s where you’re wrong, Era.” He offered his hand to help her to her feet, his eyes still dilated with attentive excitement. “How’d you think Garlemald conquered Doma and wiped out most of them swordmasters in the first place? With bullets, that’s how. Lots n’lots a bullets.”

She was reluctant to accept his offered hand, but she didn’t want to look like a sore loser; she was definitely sore though. “Hadriel can deflect bullets… I’m sure he can.”

“Aye, I’m sure he can too.” Thalen saw the frown on her lips and heard the subtle pout in her voice -- he felt good about today despite his crippling thirst, as it was always a treat to knock a blademonger down a peg or two. A grunt and a heave later and Era was back on her feet. “But that takes a lotta focus n’strain on the body to move that fast. Even the greatest Samurai can only move so fast for so long. They’ll run outta stamina long before I run outta ammunition, I can assure you of that.”

She dusted off her backside and nodded -- she couldn’t argue with that logic. “You think you can take on Hadriel with that peashooter?” Almost immediately he threw his head back and laughed in an exaggerated fashion.

“Of course I could!” Thalen chortled, pretending to wipe a tear from his eye. “And for the record… this is a ceruleum powered magitech mini railgun revolver. I could blow a squirrel’s brains out from twelve-hundred yalms with a clean shot, and at max power I could punch a hole as large as a hrothgar’s head in Garlean black steel. Course… the knockback would shatter my arm. But that’s besides the point! It’s deadly accurate and packs a wallop!”

“All that jargon is worthless against a katana wielded by a real master.” Era yawned, plucking her sword. “If you fought Hadriel, you’d be dead before you could draw your pistol…”

“Say it with me: railgun revolver.” Thalen turned to wave at Mizuna and Coroh, who were at a healthy distance. “Sure, if’n he could get me within swingin’ distance of that blade I’d be minced meat. But gunslingers like me fight at a distance, lass. And I’d be able to know where he’s at long before he can get near me.”

Coroh ran up first, still excited at that display of marksmanship. “Wow! That was really, really cool…! Can you teach me how to shoot like that?”

“Baby steps, darlin’.” He smiled, ruffling her hair. “Learn the bow n’I’ll teach you how to shoot a sidearm, aye. Plenty of folks at the estate are handy with precision guns too, so you’ll never be short a teacher.” He gestured to Era before grinning wickedly. “But show’s over. Let’s go ahead n’get outta here. I got jobs to do, gil to make, n’a thirst to quench.”

“Why don’t you take Coco along with you, S’era?” Mizuna chimed in, casually approaching the group with her hands deep in her lab coat pockets. “I need to speak with K’thalen alone.” Thalen and Era exchanged looks before the Samurai tentatively nodded, gesturing for the gushing Miqo’te girl to follow her to her chocobo Kwehzimoto.

With a lift and a plop, Coroh was in the saddle with the reins in her hands before Era climbed up to sit behind her. “Goodbyyyeee!” Coroh hollered, waving at them both as the two girls took off toward Ul’dah in a cloud of dust.

Mizuna watched them disappear along the horizon, waiting for them to be long gone before she turned to look up at him. “You can see aether.”

“Eh?” Thalen snorted, crossing his arms. “What’s this now?”

“You knew Ms. Rarku was hiding in those bushes. You knew where she would reappear when she vanished in that puff of smoke, and you dodged all of her swings perfectly.” Mizuna dressed him down with her gaze. “Half of those dodges happened when you weren’t even looking at her.”

“That’s just instinct, Doc.” He waved his hand dismissively, turning to make his way to his fenrir motorcycle. “Been sparrin’ with the hothead for moons now. She’s as predictable as the sunrise.”

Mizuna slowly blinked, before pulling a rubber stress ball from her pocket. She said nothing as she watched him wander away, halfway to his bike, before she lifted her arm and chucked it as hard as she could at him; Thalen ducked as soon as it was released from her hand, letting it soar clean over his head to bounce off into the dust and haze of the desert wastes. “I’ve made no indication I would do that. How can you call that instinct?”

He dusted off his hat before sliding it back onto his head. “Pfeh… I never let my guard down ‘round women, that’s why.”

“You can see aether. The only reason you dodged that ball is because it was in my pocket for bells. My aether had rubbed off on it, and you felt it leave my hand.” Mizuna took long strides to reach his side again. “I’ll need to run more tests to be sure you can help me with my problem…”

“A problem?” Never before had Thalen been so confused, and that’s saying something. “What kinda problem?”

“It’s confidential.” Mizuna tucked her hands back into her pockets and quickly changed the subject. “I also wanted to talk to you about your… addiction. If you have a moment to talk with me?”

“Doc, you ain’t comin’ on to me, are you?” He furrowed his brow and straightened his back. “Cause I got this rule where I nev-”

“I’m not hitting on you.” Her tone was curt and annoyed. “I’m referring to your drinking problem.”

Thalen relaxed a bit, his hand reaching up to rub the back of his neck. “I ain’t got no drinkin’ problem. Can’t a man enjoy a drink or two at his leisure?”

“If it was just ‘a drink or two’ we wouldn’t be having this conversation.” Mizuna eyed him up and down before continuing. “You’re a grown man. I can’t force you to change your ways… I don’t know why you drink exactly, but I know you don’t drink because you like to have fun. You’re killing yourself trying to escape something… or someone. But you can’t run from whatever is haunting you forever, K’thalen. Trust me… I’ve seen what trying to drown your sorrows in alcohol can do to a man.”

Thalen wasn’t in the mood for another addiction lecture. He’s suffered through interventions before, from ‘friends’ who wouldn’t or couldn’t understand. The fact that this scaled wannabe mother of his could even suggest she has any idea of what it’s like to deal with his inner demons made his tail bristle, his face scrunch up into a snarl, and words laced with poison leap from the back of his throat. “Like who… you’re husband?”

Her faint smile vanished and she slowly blinked at him. The stone mask slipped onto her face as she slowly inhaled, but Thalen knew better than to trust a blank expression. “Yes. Like my husband.”

“Ah…” He sputtered, still more angry and irritable than embarrassed. “Sorry, Doc. I… didn’t mean it.”

“My husband tried to drown himself in liquor trying to forget the agony of losing not one, not two, but all three of our children. He became an angry, violent drunk, and although he never hit me… I could tell he wanted to. Alcohol has that effect on grief. But the pain can never stop until you face it head on.” She slowly inhaled as her gaze drifted to Ul’dah in the distance. “You’re one of the greatest shots I’ve ever seen. Maybe the fastest quickdraw in Eorzea. Alcohol is not your buddy. If you won’t cut back for your sake, think about the people around you who are concerned for your wellbeing. Their lives are affected too.”

Thalen gulped dryly, the familiar stinging thirst stabbing him in the back of the throat. Mizuna brushed past him and sat down on the backseat of the motorcycle, with the slightest scowl on her face.

“Take me home.”

hey zira, what are your hot takes on all of the fo4 companions?

Haha, I don’t know how hot they are, but I can give you a speed run! (Also I am very excited to get this. FO4 was the first open world game I ever played and just the concept of that and the hugeness of the world and branching story & sudden feeling changes towards me in companion characters totally blew my mind, & it still lives rent free in my heart).

Ada, Old Longfellow, and Strong I /still/ haven’t maxed despite having too many hundred hours to want to list on this game—the former bc they were DLC, Strong because honest to god I left him at a nice settlement and then completely forgot about him and remembering that I am the energy in this Ryan O’Flanagan video but abt leaving my super mutant in a tiny settlement alone. I will get there! To max affinity I mean. But anyway, I don’t truly know those three, so my takes are incomplete. So far though, I really like Ada. She is a good girl just trying her best. Fucks me up I can tell her to self destruct. Even though I feel sure she would ignore me, I cannot imagine ever saying that to her. It was really sweet she was willing to forgive the Mechanist and move on with her life. A good girl. Longfellow I am maxing rn (was last time I played anyhow). I enjoy him. Gruff grumpy old man but he seems quite decent and I like his idle banter and when he sings to himself a lot. Seems like he’s had it rough. Strong I liked. He’s wild, and I loved how insane meeting him was, and am worried about him eventually understanding poetry and how that might mess up his sense of world understanding. But he’s a chill dude in his own way and I am glad they gave us at least one nice super mutant.

For the companions I actually do know like the back of my hand, the speedrun:

Nick Valentine: Best man on earth. One of two fictional characters I ever called husband. I would die kill or live for him. I want to be 1/4th the man Nick Valentine is. One of the best characters ever period and I adore literally everything about him. It fucked me up early in game where right after he offered to basically risk destroying his mind to help a stranger look for her son, he asked me how I was doing. First character in the entire game to do that. His first companion dialogue is abt how you’re doing TuT. The man is very kind and forgiving and fair, but knows when the draw the line and take no shit. Emotionally mature, kind, caring, longsuffering. Incredibly damaged and broken by life, but holding on and living kindly and to help others anyway. One of the four most marryablen fictional men I’ve ever seen.

Preston Garvey: Brave, kind, sweet man. I would defend him with my life. He really just wants so bad to make the world better and life has been so hard, but he’s still trying. A beautiful and underrated companion and I would throw hands for him on sight. I adore how he whistles. A true and gentle and loyal friend. Take him to Quincy and let him get his justice it’s what he deserves. People who hate him because he tries to get help helping civilians in that game are weak. I love him so much... please give him enough time to reach max affinity he’s so worth it.

Deacon: *To the tune of You Are My Dad* You are my friiiiend! You’re my friend! (Boogie woogie woogie). Initially, he pissed me off bc he lies all the god damn time, but after we got close enough he actually trusted me, he stole my heart and I would also die for Deacon. He’s a really good person who thinks he’s shit because of who he was on his past. Also him 🤝 Preston: massive survivor’s guilt. They should be friends. Poor Deacon has been the last member of the Railroad like four times, and it’s awful. Help him. Give him love and support. He’s one of my all time faves. Also, Railroad hands down best faction and if you kill them for any reason other than like a walkthrough route video and I ever get the chance I would 100% clock you in the face as hard as I can, like going for losing teeth, and feel no guilt. I know it’s a game and that’s wrong, and I’d be wrong, but I’d still do it. Also, Ryan Alosio (his VA) saw me do cosplay for Deacon once and told me it was great and it filled me with even more love. Anyway Deacon is great. Also, his whole “There are other organisations out there. And, in time, I'm sure they're going to spoon-feed you their own patented form of bullshit. Ignore the verbage and look at what they're doing. What they're asking you to do. What sort of world they'd have you build and how they're going to pay for it.” Is one of the like, two most iconic quotes in all of FO4 & just super good in general.

Hancock: Hardcore badass man but also a good dude and a champion for the people. Man really puts his money where his mouth is and you gotta respect that; another favorite companion for sure. Big fan of the way he stabs a guy for you upon meeting, and is a cool leader who organized his crime and does a decent job actually leading. He works hard to help people and bites back hard. Social justice advocate, dangerous man about town, not afraid to cosplay a revolutionary war hero 24/7 & u gotta respect the no fucks given attitude. A chill dude. Like that he fights the institute, hates the Brotherhood, helps the Railroad, and is friends with Nick. He’s legit af. Also, his VA gives a different answer every time someone asks him about the voice he did for hancock and they’re funny af.

Piper Wright: A cool spunky lady. Lois Lane on the case, kicking butt, and taking name. She’s nice but also hardcore and smart, supportive, fun. A good person. You always get points if you like Nick (which most companions do), and they’re good friends. She’s funny and I love her. A good heart.

Codsworth: He’s great. He’s family. He’s like my...weird brother. Getting to max affinity is heartwarming and also makes my heart go :’-] . Great early-game companion bc he kicks ass and doesn’t need stims to heal. I love getting called by my name and think that was a great feature (well, my PC’s name). He’s a wonderful funky little robot dude and I am so glad he likes me.

Dogmeat: Amazing. A good boy. Doggo of the year. His actor deserved the game award she won. Cute, full of love, and plays with a teddy bear if you give him one. 100/10z

Cait: I like her a lot. She’s been through so much shit, and it makes sense she is how she is. I like they actually gave her an emaciated and messy (though still pretty) design, since she is a drug addict. And that they make her main quest about taking that seriously and wanting to get help, and that she’ll call out the player if they fuck around and do drugs in front of her after she gets rehabilitated. Her relationship to the PC if good is really sweet, and I am a fan. I like that while she’s not sympathetic to synths and thinks they aren’t people, she forgets that every time Nick walks into a room and is like “Oh hey Nicky : )”. She’s a good girl who has been through a lot and still needs time to heal and find herself, but she’s making great strides.

Robert Joseph MacCready: Human disaster (loving). Homeboy a goddamn /mess/ but I love him. He tries so hard to be cool. I love he makes you pay him to come with, then chickens out and gives it back lol. A fool ball of anxiety and bad decisions and what he thinks brovado is. I wish he, Preston, and Deacon would quit fighting, bc I am always like “ :’-] </3 Boys Please” when they swap out, but I love them just the same. He’s doing his best, he’s just stupid and a fool. Like Philip J Fry. Keeping his goddamn soldier toy, which somehow is listed as junk instead of sent to Misc with quest items where it would be fine, safe?parylizes me with fear. I’ve lost 2 hours of gameplay reloading an old save bc I accidentally lost it.

X6-88: A more complex one to answer about. He’s bad, but like, I’m pretty sympathetic to how he got that way. He was created in a lab and had his emotions mostly dragged out of him in intense psychologically damaging training so he would be a weapon and view himself as an object. I was relieved he chose me over the institute even if he wasn’t a fan of the chocie, and think that means there’s a lot of hope for him. Wish he’d chill the fuck out and quit intimidating civilians for 6 god damn seconds, but I like him. I bring him fancy lad snack cakes home from travels all the time, bc Synths are supposed to like them. Really like that he’s the /most/ sympathetic companion towards Danse in Blind Betrayal, even though he should not be programmed for that, and Danse hated him and made it clear any time they interacted.

(EDIT) Curie: I FORGOT HER BABY IM SO SORRY. I like Curie a lot, despite the fact I temporarily forgot she existed. I stg I thought she was in here. Uhhh, okay. Curie: like her character and personality, HUGE un-fan of both the way her desire to get a synth body is to be ‘more real,’ as if Codsworth isn’t a fully realized person while the same robot type she is, instead of just like. Because it would make her happy. ALSO hate how much of a Born Sexy Yesterday she is, even intentionally in not-determinate affinity talks. It’s gross. But her herself, I like a lot. She’s my daughter and I will protect her. She works at The Castle right now as their on-site medic.

Paladin Danse: I know I’m gonna take heat for this but honestly? He didn’t do much for me. I like that he looks and sounds kinda like Buzz Lightyear, and that’s fun, but idk at all why people think he’s so hot. He’s very boring & generic looking to me. Like you’re valid! Taste all be different. But he doesn’t do it for me personally in looks or personality. I don’t at all like, hate him. Or even dislike. Tbh I am fairly neutral on him. It was funny making affinity with him though. Every other companion I had maxed, I liked more and more with each affinity talk. They’d be like “So my dad was a minuteman and died and I want to honor him” or “I just want to really feel like I’m a person, for real, myself, and I am glad I met you, because the good we have achieved together is ours, even if I can’t be sure of anything else,” or “My brother threw the cultural minorities out of our city for clout bc the rich citizens were all racist, and I tried to help—I snuck them food to the unsafe ruins they set up in for weeks, but eventually, they just vanished, and I still bear immense guilt and self-hatred over not having stopped that.” And Danae’s would be like “One time a buddy of mine got kidnapped by super mutants. They turned him into one of them, and they’re all abominations, so I killed him and it made me really sad.” And I was just like “...Oh danse. I really wanted to like you more. But what the fuck.” His relationship to Haylen is sweet though. And ofc I saved him in Blind Betrayal. I blew up the Prydwin so he’s safe now too, and he lives in the garden by my house and tells me how glad he is we’re friends, and I’m p into that. Overall, my feelings on him are not strong at all though.

Porter Gage: Not a fan. Like, I appreciated he helped me kill the old boss, sure. And bc I owed him for that, I went to max affinity to see what there was to him as a person. And like, as far as raiders go, he was okay. But he wasn’t deeply sympathetic, and he’s a slaver, and if you try to liberate the slaves he and the others own, he /will/ turn on and attempt to murder you immediately, no matter how close you were, so he made his choice, and it was to be a bad person and an asshole to the last. Really enjoyed the VA’s work a lot on him tho.

And there you have it 👈👈😎. Thanks for asking!

#ask #anonymous #fallout 4 #fo4 #god I love them so much. I was really proud I kept all the OGs too. everyone but Gage. who had to go but it’s his own choice and fault 🤷🏻‍♀️#GOD far harbor was a good dlc. it’s like the main quest choice again but way more condensed and twice as f ked up. my poor MC had only #come to terms just before with all the lives she took & started healing #doing bad things she did not want to do & knew he would know about and think less of her for doing. but she did them. 😔 bc of course she did #then she had to choose between letting the dude she loved be hurt in a way he wouldn’t recover from & torpedoing her relationship to him by #she loves Nick and if it’s him or her it’s always gonna be her #I was SUFFERING. a lot. but I also loved it #don’t come into my inbox and clown about liking Danse please or Gage. idc at all #like you are welcome to your opinion I’m not gonna try to convince you /not/ to like him. plz do me the same courtesy & respect my right to #have an opinion u may not like

Pokemon Legendary Themes Ranked

I saw a video of a youtuber I like doing this tier list so I thought I’d get my own opinions in first so I’m not biased by theirs. This list is a little incomplete- there’s a few things I know are missing, most pointedly side game stuff, but I suppose they can’t win em all. Thus, here are my objectively factual opinions, no nostalgia bias here surely. Here’s a link to the list in case you want to do the same.

(Tiers are sorted in increasing quality right to left)

D Tier

Mewtwo (FRLG): Y’all know Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres also use this, right? It’s just a marginally more dramatic version of the regular wilds music, so it gets the fail from me.

Mew (Emerald): This is the same as the last one! Except it gets the edge because it is slightly higher pitched, and because it’s in a game where it’s not a remix of a song you’ve just heard dozens of times.

Mewtwo (XY): I just really dislike the soundfont XY uses for most of its themes. This sounds like a shitty youtube remix from the late 00s with like 300 views, and most of them are the same person who really likes the song for some reason. Am I just biased against the kanto wilds theme? Maybe.

Regis (Crown Tundra): Narrowly dodges being the worst Regis theme since the Platinum one exists (It’s not on this list though). I think a lot of the more recent versions of older themes suffer since they were designed with the lesser hardware in mind. It is a shame because I do really like some of the additions to the theme.

C Tier

Dynamax Legend (Crown Tundra): Mewtwo is already back for his last appearance on the list. It’s just a remix of the max raid theme, which I don’t really care for- especially after hearing it over and over and over again grinding Lairs for shinies.

Calyrex (Crown Tundra): This song being dramatic makes no sense in universe- the player knows this is the big legendary, but the character sure doesn’t- but it ultimately feels hollow. This is deliberate, since it’s actually just one half of another song.

Steeds (Crown Tundra): h o n s e theme is the other half of that song, and it’s the better half, but its still incomplete.

Aura Trio (X/Y) and Solgaleo/Lunala (S/M): These two get lumped together because I always get them conflated, which signifies to me that neither has made a strong impact. Listening to both again, I think I like the latter more, but it’s narrow.

Regis (ORAS): It’s just not the same without the horns. My gen 6 bias is showing, but I don’t really like the soundfont.

Deoxys (ORAS): similar to the Regis, this is held back by the soundfont (why the fuck is there an organ in this??) but also by the fact that at this point, the Deoxys theme just isn’t special anymore. And that’s kinda sad.

Calyrex 2 (Crown Tundra): The full version of this theme is much better, obviously, sounding suitably regal for the king of the tundra, but it overall lands at a meh. The percussion sounds like it’s trying to rip off the Weather Trio’s, which is a big no-no.

B Tier

Eternatus 1 (SwSh): We are now entering the songs I like zone. Eternatus 1 goes in a lot of different directions, and despite how 13-year-old me would balk at it I actually enjoy the dubsteppy bits of it. Sorry to disappoint you, you edgy fuck.

Ultra Beasts (SMUSUM): I don’t know why these are separated, they’re the same theme. I really like the UB theme, but the thing is it isn’t really a legendary theme- it had to be a bit less bombastic seeing as you can just encounter a bunch of these bad bois. And while it sounds suitably alien, I still think it doesn’t belong on this list.

Weather Trio (ORAS): Why is this listed as this, its just for Rayquaza. Extremely dramatic, but a retread of one of my S-tier picks (spoilers oops) and not different enough for the remaster to make it worth it.

Primals (ORAS): the same as the previous, but I do like this much better, what with the song “reverting” to the original every so often. This should probably be higher, but I don’t want to separate it from the “full” version.

Eternatus 2: It’s kind of a shame how little time you get to hear this, because it’s a big ol “you’re fucked” and that’s pretty great. There are bits of this that sound like they’re sampling Kirby Super Star, and I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Galar Birds (Crown Tundra): While I know everyone used to adore this one, I think the honeymoon phase is over for me at this point. I still like it, but at the end of the day it’s still a Kanto Wild remix.

Legendary (BWB2W2): This is really good! The way the tempo shifts around the song is a really nice touch, and that build section is excellent. Just a solid overall theme.

Tao Trio (BW): Reshiram and Zekrom’s themes are slightly different, but even Game Freak forgot that one. Kyurem’s is the same but where they have different SFX it just has dead air, which while fitting is a bit less good. I adore the beat this one has running, almost a throbbing bit going on there. Edit: Ok on relisten I’ve heard Kyurem’s a bit closer, and it’s a little different with some record skips, but they’re pretty unecessary imo.

Zacian/Zamazenta (SwSh): This is one I kinda wish was less dramatic, considering it’s not as oh shit as the situations their other themes have. I kinda hate the opening to this, but the rest of it makes up for it I suppose.

Eternatus 3: Yeah this is a Z/Z theme not an Eternatus theme let’s be real. A suitably triumphant third act to the climax of SwSh’s (lackluster) story. This is kinda just a banger, very much appropriate for the beatdown it accompanies.

Dialga/Palkia (DPPt): Closing the tier with a song that I actually love, but it’s occurred to me that it’s a little odd sitting next to some of these other ones. I mean, it’s mostly built around this very pretty little piano line, which makes it feel less weighty than the competition. It’s a classic, and hasn’t aged poorly or anything, but it’s less of a climax than I would expect. With that in mind, I shudder to think of what would happen to this in a potential remake.

A Tier

Mysterious Being (SwSh): This is getting carried here by that bass alone. The rest of it is ok I guess.

Arceus (DPPt): Ah, the track no one ever got to hear. I really love how sparse this is, being basically only percussion most of the way through. I think the Arceus event is something we should have actually gotten to experience, I’m pretty sure it would have blown little me’s mind.

Lugia (HGSS): HGSS, the games where every legendary got its own theme. Bring this back please, I’m begging here. I understand the reason this sounds the way it does is because it’s based on the Shadow Lugia theme from XD, but I haven’t played that one, so I can’t comment. I’m sure not complaining, though- considering Lugia’s other main appearance (in the movie, of course) I wasn’t expecting such a menacing theme.

Legendary (DPPt): For a “generic” theme (fucking Rotom gets this btw) this has a lot going for it. The animation that plays when you start a fight with this music is burned into my brain. It’s fast, it’s tense, and it sounds great.

Lake Trio (DPPt): Unlike Mysterious Being, while the bass slays here, it’s not alone carrying the song. This track was always my favourite out of Diamond and Pearl, and those games have a fucking great soundtrack, so.

Black/White Kyurem (B2W2): I really love that this is a remix of the (also very menacing) theme you hear when you boot the game up- you’ve heard a version of this while staring at the fucker, now here’s the real version for when you have to fight it. The references to the regular Tao Trio theme are well placed, but this more bombastic version sounds like Kyurem is here to fucking kill you, which to be fair, it kinda is.

Legendary Beasts (Crystal/HGSS): I’m lumping these together since, although HGSS gave each their own remix, they’re basically the same theme. This was the first Legendary music ever written for the series, and it still holds up really well. As for the HGSS remixes, I don’t think Entei’s slower rockier version works as well, but I really like the punchy percussion on Raikou’s version.

Regis (RSE): Hella bass and Hoenn Horns? What’s not to love? I do think the original version of this theme is by far the best one, being an ample payoff for the puzzle that was getting to it in the first place, and it makes hurling balls at the golem’s much more tolerable. I literally never caught Registeel as a kid so I could go back and listen to this whenever I wanted.

Tapus (SMUSUM): Again, why are these separated. Considering this game has literal aliens in it, the Tapu theme in SM is somehow the most messed up sounding one, but it works extremely well. The surprise vocalisations work really well with the… I’m hesitant to say tribal, but I don’t have another word for that vibe to be honest. It does feel like you’re doing a transgression with this song, which you are (why the fuck are you allowed to catch these things in universe lmao).

Ultra Necrozma (USUM): Probably the most climactic song in the entire franchise, and it makes sense- this isn’t just the climax of those games, but the finisher to the entire 3DS era of the series. The church organs, therefore, are pretty justified. This song sounds like a Big Deal, and the organ getting pretty jazzy when it gets to some of the less intense bits is a really nice little touch. And then the percussion picks up again and oh fuck here we goooooo. A fitting track for arguably one of the hardest fights in the entire franchise.

S Tier

Dusk Mane/Dawn Wings Necrozma (USUM): Haha oops I like this one more than Ultra. I think it’s just the unstoppable percussion that opens this that does it. I don’t think anyone who went in blind saw this moment in the games coming, and the intensity reflects this- its like a prelude to Ultra but it doesn’t have as much of a low point, with the onslaught of noise fitting the sheer OH FUCK that is seeing everyone’s favourite bag-dodger getting bodyjacked out of nowhere.

Weather Trio (RSE): Anyone who understands my bias is gonna understand this one. It’s almost entirely carried by nostalgia, but I just love this fucking song. Compared to some of the other things on this list, it feels nearly minimalistic, seeing as it’s pretty much just the drums, horns, and that bell, but that’s all it needs. It’s the first song in the series for a proper legendary, and it suits that fact.

Deoxys (FRLG/E): By contrast, the Deoxys theme is pushing that GBA soundfont to its absolute limit. You can hear some of the best of both the FRLG and RSE soundtracks in this song, with the Kanto percussion and the Hoenn horns both doing their part, but whatever instruments the rest of this is going for are absolutely not slouching either. It’s somewhat telling that the best soundtracks for FRLG romhacks (e.g. Clover) sound more like this than like the other themes in the game.

Ho-Oh (HGSS): Oh fuck is that a koto I love kotos. By contrast with Lugia, Ho-oh is a more relaxed track that takes a lot from traditional Japanese instruments, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t dramatic- far from it. The groove in this makes it sound like it comes from another series entirely, being so incredibly different from anything else the series had to offer at that point. That main riff is so fucking perfect, man.

Giratina (Platinum): I remember having my mind blown when I first heard this. Giratina went from the generic DP legendary music (which is obviously still good) to this chaotic energetic power play, and I was sold on Platinum immediately (like everything before XY, Platinum came out in Japan some months before in other countries, so I heard this well before the game dropped). This song has so many different lines, so many different builds, and yet none of them feel out of place. I almost feel like this song is what started me down the path that would lead to me being a prog fan. After the haunting ambience of the Distortion World, this sheer energy is such a shock to the system, and the climax of the song hits harder than any individual moment on any other song in the series. It’s my number 1 pick, and I love it to bits.

Thus, the full list is as follows. If you end up doing your own, link me up, I’d love to see how wrong you are your opinions.

#ramble #pokemon #music #lists #ill probably do this for other music in these games at some point

After Today (Prelude)

It's been a couple of weeks since my dad left to spend the rest of his happy life with the librarian, Ms. Mar-pole-ey. Er, I mean Marpole. Wasn't her name "Sylvia" or something? Whatever. I'm glad that he found the right one after so long. I really am! It's been a while since I had a mother. Heh heh. Man, the sun's making me kinda tired. I shuffle to the blinds and mess with the drawstrings until the orange light disappears from the room. The cotton feels good on my nose, cushioning my fall to the bed, "You did good, Max. You did good." I wrap arms around my pillow and bury my face in there for a minute, trying to get a wink of sleep… "Hey Max!" I let out a tiny groan as the wheat field disappears from my view again. Thrown back into nothing but a black hole, my hands reach for the edge of the mattress before I push my hand out of the cushion. My muzzle made a funny looking imprint, from what my half-shut eyes could see, "Yeah Bobby,”—I yawn, "What is it?" My aching neck won't support my skull; my head fell into the pillow again. Another groan. I really didn't want to get up this time. "What are you lying around for?? Come on Max the night is young”—He's shaking my shoulders again. Okay. So you may be asking, have I been plain lazy since we beat the Gammas at the X-Games? "Fine! I'll get up on my own thanks!" The blood rush to my brain knocks me out of balance. Well, no. I'm having a good summer so far. The rigorous practice cut itself down to a casual joyride. The same adrenaline drives me to greater heights, literally! And that look on his face—A laugh wakes me from my dry spell. Popularity soaring since we won. The trophy that my dad can show off to everyone— I'm feeling good right now! Oh wait. The feeling's gone. Dammit. "Aw. Look at the little champion. He's studying." The book is knocked out of my hands. I whirl my head up to glare straight into dark blue pools. His Gamma Geeks start laughing. All I want to do is punch 'Bradley Uppercrust the Third' in the face. My teeth grit and I stand up, keeping my eyes level to his. "Max. Ignore them. Sit down." PJ's tugging at my shirt. The ex-X Games King kept that smug little smirk, chuckling at his oh-so-clever stunt. I know he hates me for beating him, fair and square.

"Is there a problem, Baby Goof?" "Yeah, Brad. I think there is." Peej stood up and gripped my shoulder. I turn my head as he's shaking his own side to side. "Dog Boy needs his biscotti friend to calm down? What a loose cannon!" Tank looked at me differently from the others. He knows that we saved him. But even as we let bygones be bygones, I can't forget that he's on the other team. The Gamma House became, and still is, the sole target for hate, rancor. We could never be friends, even if we tried. "I think we've had our daily fix. Let's pack it up!" Much less with their retard of a leader… I thought they kicked him out? I growl and settle down on the stone bench. Apparently not. "Are you all right, Max?" I forgot to mention my ravings and rants throughout the preparation of the X-Games. Every other day I'd have something to complain about; usually the subject revolved around Uppercrust. Bobby, at some point, got himself entertained with other aspects of the college life. He's more interested in checking out girls than hear my bitching. It's embarrassing really. So now the only one that puts up with my frustration is my buddy Peej. Since we were kids in Spoonerville, we'd have the best of times—the worst of times and everything in between. Both of us put up with our overbearing fathers until we graduated from high school. Ha ha! And my dad decided to spend a year here to finish his education. I should have noticed a lack of a diploma when I was 11. But to be honest, if it wasn't for him, we would have been disqualified. I'm glad he got through my "get your own life" phase. That was the lowest point I ever had with him since that camping trip… Back when, I was in… ***** I'm a guy like every other. I got hormones. And when you look at a pretty girl you can't help but stare at them as they walk by. It's their fault for wearing shorts and skirts. I know what the ideal woman is from knowing PJ's mother. Debbie was a crazy, ugly looking cousin, but turned out to be a bombshell from what I could remember. Getting all cleaned up for her and everything. Heh heh heh. And then there was her. Roxanne. She was beautiful, inside and out. The wheat field in my dreams under that light blue sky remind me of her… That summer at the end of my sophomore year marked the beginning of our relationship. "Puppy Love", my dad would say as a joke. My feelings for Roxanne were strong even as we spent our last days together in senior year. Like any couple we had some fights, usually because there was something on her mind that she would never tell me, no matter how many times I asked. But then I would see it in her eyes, something was wrong. Eventually people were noticing my growing talent in skateboarding and other athletics, and they told me, "Max you're so good! Have you ever checked out the College X-Games?" "No!" I'd tell them. Then they told me to watch ESPN. So I did. I was floored by all the cool stunts they were doing. The Gammas were the best. I admired the X-Games King at first. He was everything I ever wanted to be: A superior athlete with decent looks, above everything and everyone, admired by all. Popular! I found out too late that he was a jerk. A complete jackass. Back to Roxanne before I crack. "I got a scholarship for college! Can you believe it?!" The tightest hug I ever gave her before spinning her around; I was just getting taller than her, and I think I almost choked her from the enthusiasm ~~~ "Max! Put me down!" "Oh Roxanne this is what I've always dreamed about!" "It's all you've been dreaming about?" "Yeah, what . . . ?" ~~~ I didn't know what to say after that. Her head stayed on her chest. The only thing I could do was kneel under her and give her a kiss on the lips. Hers were shaking, and I felt a tear on my cheek… ***** "Mmmph.—Ha… haa." It's happening again. The excitement was too much—I had to wake up. It began to throb again; l locked my knees together to get it to stop. There are some nights when I love my hormones. And then there are others when I hate them. Dreaming about your first love, now at a time when you get the basics of "that", is kinda disturbing. It seemed, back then, we were too good for that. And even now, I respect women. I swore not to let my primal instincts take over before marriage. And then have kids of our own. I'll make sure not to overprotect them like my dad did… But, maybe, even that… "Nggh!" What the hell was that?! I shot up in my bed before wringing my hands at the warm cloth. I kept on throbbing and throbbing. It wouldn't stop! It won't stop! I fell off the bed and I hear Bobby snort in his sleep. I clamber up to my feet and nearly stumble into the bathroom. I'm careful to click the door shut and turn on the fan before I curse at myself and see my red cheeks in the mirror, "Calm down!" Please calm down! Was it because I kept on obsessing over—?! "Max you're so stupid—I hate this!" I didn't care what hell time it was. I took off everything I had and delved into a cold shower to get rid of all the sweat— Just perfect! ***** "Just fuckin' perfect." I don't think they heard me with my head buried in my crossed arms. "Cheer up buddy. You're not the only one with freaky dreams." I never told them exactly what I dreamed about. "Yeah Max don't let it ruin your day!" I sit up, "But what if it is?!" Our professor glared at us three before clearing his throat. Lucky me to have Brad in the same class this summer session. I can see him from the corner of my eye, smiling at our interrupting of the class. I can't wait when he graduates next year. Good riddance. I groan and bury my head in my arms again, not even paying attention to our lecture on Freudian Theology—or whatever the hell that old man was blabbing on about. He's not the same guy as last year, but man his voice is so boring! God! It took forever until I heard the shuffling of papers and the shutting of notebooks. The zipping of backpacks and the click of tote bags. The light shone through the windows on the chalkboard, orange and a muddy green. I'm all ready for bed, "Max." Peej tapped on my shoulder, "Time to go." I let out a sigh before reaching down to get my pack, "I'll catch up with you later." I'm dead tired. My friend gives me a strange look and shrugs his shoulders, "If you catch up, I'll be at the Bean Scene. Bobby said he'd be at some free rock concert around campus." "I think, I'll just go back to the dorm and sleep." "But that's all you've been doing lately!" "I don't sleep very well." I push myself off of the desk and sway around for a bit before regaining balance on my sore feet. "Suit yourself. Um, do you think that we should, I dunno, go out on a road trip during the weekend or something, get some fresh air?" I sigh deeply and look away from him, "It's fine, Peej." We were the only people in the room. And now I was the only one. The sun was setting even lower, but I kept on staring at nothing. The screech of a nearby car outside snaps me out of my trance. I trudge up the steps and push the door open. I must have tripped on the bottom of a post because the next thing I knew I was on the ground, chin hitting the concrete, "Ouch!" I can see a shoe in front of my face and it threatened to kick me— I roll out of the way quickly and jump off the ground to see an all-too-familiar silhouette, red-orange shining the side of his prissy sweater— "What the hell do you want?!" I wasn't so tired anymore. "What I always wanted to do since we met— The collar of my shirt's pulled up to his giant chin, "beat you." I push him off me and block a blow to my jaw. I came under and punched him in the stomach—It was almost satisfying until I felt my back rammed up against the wall, the back of my head was about to go numb— "Make this easy for the two of us, freshman. Get the fuck out of here. Transfer out of this campus so that I never see your mug again." My eyes widen. I never heard him swear before. "Because, the next time I see it—the next time when we're all alone—I'll break it in!" The grip is suddenly released and he whirls around and leaves, but not down the stone steps. Like a thief he disappears 'round the corner of the building. My shallow breathing made my heart pound violently, for more reasons than one. I shake my head and wrench onto my pack's strap and practically run down the steps, grating my teeth together and only wanting to see Brad in a pool of his own blood— "oof!" The flutter of papers and a couple of books— "Watch it!" I growl. I'm about to push this guy to the ground—this guy with red hair… Dammit, it's a girl. Despite my sudden poisonous fantasies I kneel down begrudgingly to help pick up after her. Our hands touch, and through my glove I feel a wonderful warmth . . . A warmth. "I'm sorry." "It's okay." Our eyes peer up at one another. They lock. Her face is in shock. I recognize that beauty mark anywhere. "Roxanne." I breathe—my heart beat even faster than before. Something caught in my throat, but I didn't care— "Roxanne! Oh!" I knock her down on the bare sidewalk with a big hug, careful not to hit her head. All the feelings from the past washed over me in an older body—a taller body—she felt like a child in my arms, "Max?!”—I let her go so that she could catch her breath. I stand up and take her hand in mine lifting her off the ground and giving her a more civil embrace, "It's so good to see you again I can't believe it!" A finger comes in between our lips. " . . . Is it really you?" more sad than happy. "Yeah, Roxanne! It's me—Max—don't you remember me?" I broke into a humored smile. "I do." Didn't she used to be more bubbly and excited when we saw each other? "What are you doing here I thought you had gone to another campus??" I can't even pause between my words; I felt elated. Her hair got shorter. She's covering more of her skin too. Her shorts became loose jeans. "I did, Max. Stacey moved up here with her family and decided to transfer over. I came with her to visit for a couple of days. This is my last night." "Well how is she? Why are you walking around here by yourself? You were trying to find me, weren'tcha?" A playful nudge on her shoulder, like old times. She finally smiled, "I didn't think I would find you. At all." Then she slowly hung her head, again. A lump caught in my throat again; I had to swallow it down. "Roxanne." My fingers cup her chin and raise her brown eyes to mine. I want nothing more than to kiss her again, "I'll take you to the dorm. Come on." I pick up her stuff and offer her my arm to wrap herself around. "I'm fine, thanks." She's walking ahead of me. "You're walking the wrong way!" I laugh. "Oh. Sorry." "Don't be!" ***** Cappuccino's almost ready. I tell the machine to work faster under my breath. From the corner of my eye I can see Roxanne prodding at the scone I got her, "Did I catch you at a bad time? Period maybe??" I chuckle at my own joke. It seemed easier to be myself around her, not having to carry around my façade of the goody-two-shoe kid on campus. I was more mischievous towards her as we reached our senior year together. But I'd always draw the line wherever hands were concerned. I wouldn't dare touch her inappropriately, even now . . . Coffee's done. Damn she's silent tonight. Like before we had an argument. I'd always ask her, "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Are you sure?" "I'm sure." "Roxanne…" I forget about that endless cycle, "So how's your dad? College done you in yet?" "He's fine. College is good. I'm getting good grades…" "Higher GPA than mine, I bet!" Then she grins. I wish it could stay. I feel like reminiscing, "Did you miss me?" . . . "Did you, miss me??" I never noticed the bags under her eyes, like we suffered from the same spell of insomnia. The way she asked me the question made me nervous. "Of course! Wh- What makes you think otherwise?" The hand holding the mug begins to shake, "ow!" The hot water went into my gloves. "Are you all right, Max?" Roxanne's holding my hand in hers. I'm about to melt, "I've always missed you.. I still dream of the field." "What field are you talking about?" I bite my tongue down; I had let my sophomoric fantasies slip out of my big mouth. Her brows come together. I'm not liking her expression right now. "Look Max. I'm not surprised if you've gone and seen other girls. I don't care if you still see them after I'm gone." What? "Roxanne”—The chair scrapes the floor as I find myself kneeling before her—"Don't go. Not yet." "But I'm not leaving yet. Max, what are you doing??" My lips were pressed against her knuckles, palm, wrist. In a blur my eyes look up to her face before making contact with her own. As I stood up I took her by the waist and held her close, letting myself get lost in her scent. "Max! Stop it!" She's wiping her mouth, her pupils shrunken down. Roxanne's trying to get away. "Please don't go. But what do you mean I can't see you again?" "A lot's been going on and I can't take you with me!" "Roxanne, please—I'll even transfer out of this campus— A sharp slap—"Come back to your senses, Goof!" I let go, shaking. She's petrified in fear… of me. "Roxanne. What have I done wrong now??" "It's not what you did! It never was!" I choke on a gasp. Why am I crying? I wipe my tears before she sees them— "I know I did something wrong Roxanne! If you would just tell me!" You never tell me! The umber flared into lava under the iridescent lights, "Max!" I see her leaning on the kitchen counter for support, lips shaking and face pale as if she were about to throw up, "I was raped!" . . . . . "No. No, you weren't." I couldn't understand why a chuckle was coming from my own throat. "Max! Listen to me!" I'm lounging around on the couch and stifling my laughs. All of a sudden Roxanne's right next to me, "Max—mmph!— "No. You're too good. You're an angel." My right hand runs forever through her hair, dark and tight. I hear a sob within my chest, I feel the tears. Lying on top of me, my angel wrapped her arms around my neck and spoke, "Max . . . Do you remember? When everyone told you how good you were, in skateboarding." I can only give her a kiss on the head, "Yeah." "I got jealous." Of who? "Of your passion." "Why didn't you tell me? If I ignored you because I got caught up in sports, you could have told me." I turn over so that our eyes are the same height from the ground. We're pressed against the couch, holding onto each other for dear life. "I got depressed for a while… and then… he— ~~~ "Hey Roxanne. How 'bout Stacey's party?" ~~~ "We were juniors, Max, when it happened. I was so stupid to let him comfort me, hold me. Because, at that point, I wasn't getting any of that from you. You kept on obsessing over some 'Bradley Uppercrust'— In a pool of his own blood. "Roxanne. Don't mention that name again. I don't want to hear it." Her eyelids raise a bit and she nods her head, "Okay." I finally got a kiss from her dry lips, covered with salt. I didn't want to hear the rest. Good thing, because she was never going to tell me. It was her turn to comfort me when I burst into tears when the truth sank in… "I want you—I want to be with you forever… Marry me." My eyes blur over and fog out as I held on tighter . . . Marry me. "Please don't go." My arms are wrapped around my pillow. The sun shone yellow on my bedroom wall. Lazy eyes scanned the nightstand. The analog clock reads 7:20AM. I could hear the snoring of my roommates. I stare at the ceiling for the longest time before stretching out my arms and legs—one of them got a severe cramp, "ff—- owow ow—" I let the blood circulate so the pain would go away. All that was just a dream. I groan and sit myself up on the bed. After standing I stretch out even more and breathe in as much oxygen as I can. I exhale and shuffle to the bathroom, turn on the faucet and rinse my damp face. The cold water burned my cheek. It stung, "What?" Face wet, dripping of all the sweat and tears I shed, I spot a red mark in the mirror right where her hand had struck. Was I still in a dream, or in a living nightmare?

Why Space Channel 5 is one of SEGA’s best dumbest games ever, no questions asked. (Report 2 cont.)

Here’s ramblings about Report 1 & most of 2: https://huskynator.tumblr.com/post/627109114690109441/why-space-channel-5-is-one-of-segas-best

Report 2 (Cont.): In which I analyse the Morolina boss battle with no point in mind.

So where was I?

youtube

BOSS TIME!

Jaguar (Age 35): The alien mothership is retreating. Don’t you have to follow them, Channel 5? Fuse: Blast you, Jaguar [Age 35].

With the pirates giving chase, Ulala is left with the cowardly alien robot to elegant music.

Ignoring the robot’s title, while silly, its cowardice is its greatest asset. For it has kidnapped some space schoolkids, making their space teacher worry.

Before I start, in-between phases there this chorus, and it’s great, awesome way to prep you to start Chu-ing.

So during Report 1′s Coco Tapioca’s battle, I had trouble describing how it was really all that different from every other battle up until that point. Morolina won’t have that problem because this bot is the toughest cookie so far. Lemme explain why:

Space Channel 5 uses two senses: sight and hearing. During the dance battle when a Morolian says Left, they also move Left. Ergo when they move Right, they have said right. Meaning that if you forgot what they said, you can still save you a lost heart if you remember which way they moved. You can rely on your eyes for a little help, but it is also possible to do it blindfolded.

Not so much during the shoot-outs, because of the hostages. If you play those blinded folded you will fail. You may hear Chu Chu Chu. But you’ll shoot hostages because it was Moro Human Moro. You didn’t see that because you were blindfolded you dingus! You gotta pay attention!

And Morolina is “Pay Attention” the Boss Battle. And I know that’s a good chuck of bosses ever but hear me out.

For its first two phases this is its formula: One or two directions. Pause. Chu Chu Chu.

That doesn’t sound so bad. But you need to use your ears on the directions and your eyes on the Chus.

Its Up and Down movements are straight forward. But its Left and Right commands are a little confusing.

This pose obviously is its Left command. But in motion it looks like the Right command as most of the movement comes from that free tentacle on the right, which while it points Left, it stays on the right side of the body where most of the movement is. Not helped that it doesn’t stay on its poses for long. (Not everyone’s gonna think its moves look reversed in motion but it certainly looks as such to me so I can’t be the only one.) So for that you gotta memorize with your ears.

After the second phase, he start throwing in space school kids into the mix, replacing the Morolians with its Chu Chu Chu. Thankfully, it’s always 3 sets of either Moros or Space Kids it shoves in your face, but that’s still paying attention with your eyes and that happens during the same turn as the paragraph above! It’s a lot for only 5 commands max.

Don’t get me wrong, this is not a complaint. This is good game design if intentional. But I have a feeling it’s moreso because its limited by its animation then intentional misdirection. And the way I described how it’s in practice doesn’t happen in this game or the next, it’s a missed opportunity having a character say one command but moving differently.

In short: The unintentional misdirection adds more then in hinders, but you may wanna beware-y because of it.

And then it explodes!

It’s okay.

The next phases begin in zero gravity because the ship’s gravity generated has been damaged... When?

I love and hate this bit, it’s a shoot-out but with a twist. A literal twist. Many of them in fact. In practice, this is more of the same, but it isn’t a strict 3 Chus anymore it can have as many as it has tentacles that aren’t the 3 in front as it feels like.

But that’s not the twist. It still holds up Morolians and Space Kids but it does twists so you don’t have a visual aid of what he was holding during Ulala’s turn. You may forget if its holding Moros or Space Kids. Especially if it’s a short one.

Example: Morolina: (Turns) (Show Moro/Kid) Right Chu (Shows Moro/Kid) Left Chu (Shows Moros/Kids) Up ChuChu. (Retracts Moros/Kids so Ulala can’t see them until it’s time she would’ve shot her guns already.)

This is great stuff. This game adheres to basic game design and it’s great. It takes the simplistic controls and does as many things it can do with those controls to make a fair fight to screw you over.

Despite what it may seem like sometimes with Sonic games, and SEGA’s past failures, their studios can make great games. Even if they’re bad, it’s still clear to me that a lot of their games still had a lot of passion put into it.

I’m not calling Space Channel 5 a bad game for the record. But it’s clear there did went passion into it. I feel like it’s one of the last SEGA IP greats that aren’t Sonic, where they just a had an absurd idea and saw it though to the end. Super Monkey Ball is like that too, Billy Hatcher too but that might not be a good game (I wouldn’t know).

Sorry for that tangent, back to the game where Ulala gets licked.

Morolina kinda had to resort to this. It lost its tentacles because Ulala shot at them. Ulala had it coming.

Luckily Ulala has one hand free with a gun. And I love this section. Just two commands! Up and Chu! Up to roll Ulala out of the tongue as far as she can and Chu to shoot as usual as well as to roll.

You’d be surprised how much mileage you can get out of it.

Also it’s safe to say that it lost both its cowardice and elegance at this point. Shame, I liked the way it danced.

And then it stops anti-climatically. Boom! Status screen:

You saved the space kids and Morolina joins you in Ulala’s strutting. Also the gravity is fixed. When?

I have said that this is probably the most boring report, but wanna take that back. For one it has Jaguar (Age 35) and Morolina, the first true sign of what this game has to offer when pushing its gameplay.

Halfway done. No clue if anyone cares or not, but I know I cares a lot. Me gushing about Report 3 coming sometime in the future.

Thoughts on Major Blast

Another day, another new episode, another Fred-In-Danger episode. This week, a villain called Major Blast comes into the surface and targets Fred. Will BH6 save Fred from them and reveal who's behind it? Let's Blast on!

Cold opening; It is another save from BH6, this time they (Hiro, Baymax, and Fred) are saving Bluff Dunder from Helicopter malfunction. But when Fred suggest to celebrate with Noodle Burger victory treat, a stranger flies to Fred, and starts blasting flame towards him. He tries to avoid it, but no work. Getting cornered, this stranger prepares to diminish Fred "You aren't a worthy opponent yet" (let's remember this quote because it will be handy), until Hiro and Baymax reach out Fred and save him from this stranger. This stranger flees away, but not before demanding Fred to have another fight, this time, he will be alone, and Hiro and Fred wonder who were they.

BH6 figures out that the stranger is "Major Blast", they used to be Boss Awesome's villain, and they are now targeting Fred. Hiro orders Fred to train with Gogo while the rest to figure out who's behind Major Blast. Hiro then shows other the new feature of the lair, Sim-Max, a simulation room so Fred can practice.

Tbf, this feature is really cool, they have ultra realistic hologram with backgrounds and villains, so they can practice and learn how to beat villains as accurate as in real life. Look How far BH6 has become. (Except the part that once you failed the simulation, Roddy will mock you straight away on his hologram version)

Gogo finds the problem that Fred is really easy to be distracted, and she demands him to stay focus, but Fred keeps it going, even daydreaming about how their practice would be (Rocky's aesthetic sounds fun). They finally start the simulation, with Momakase, but ofc Fred gets distracted again, and he fails the simulation test. "Distraction bad. Focus good" that's what she said.

I wish their interaction between Gogo and Fred could be more, since, I find the interaction between Fred and Gogo interesting, since they are opposite to each other, Fred likes to get distracted and chilling, and fun stuffs, with his witty and quirky, while gogo is no Bs person, likes to focus, always get serious when troubles come, and upset when someone ruining the mood of her. I also remembered about Jamie Chung's interview for the movie back then, that Gogo had a secret crush on Fred, which is... Interesting, and the series portray about their interaction more, and seems like they have a good chemistry for each other... I admit I ship them tho but yeah, I wish they have more interaction like this, but somehow they cut it pretty short and we have to see Fred practices alone

Meanwhile, the rests find the further informations about Major Blast. Baymax (and Basemax) however, ruin the focus by 'competing' to give the infos about Major Blast. Who would have known that Robots literally competing each other about something.

First practice is done, and they about to go home, until Major Blast interrupts Fred's path and attacks Fred, Fred tries to resist, with Gogo help, but he is still failed, and Major Blast says the same words before they flee away, again.

Fred becomes paranoid, and starts to doubt if he is good enough to be a superhero. 'Alfred' tries to cheer him up, but warn him to be focus about it.

Now to think about it, after what The butler said, and the quote "You aren't a worthy opponent", the person behind Major Blast is coned into the the person who is close to Fred and instead of someone who has a vengeance against Boss Awesome or Fred, they want to teach Fred a lesson. Now that the butler said that, it could be really him, or it could be boss Awesome's robot practice, or Richardson.

Fred practices again, now with mini-Max, but out of nowhere, Major Blast comes again, and interrupt his practice. Fred gets defeated again, but..... His butler saves him, using Fred original BH6 costume, to drag him out from Major Blast. Major Blast flees away again, and says the same quote again (yep).. Fred becomes more terrified.

Also forgot to mention that Boss Awesome, or Mr. Frederickson appears again as cameo, I can tell that he now has new va, I think. His sounds is similar to Stan Lee, so he is as if Stan Lee is alive, but I'll check the credit to see the new va

Fred determines to defeat them for good, but his distraction(s) takes the toll out of him, and he is defeated (again) by simulated Mr. Sparkles (yeah......). Roddy Blair comes in and he notices Fred. Fred asks to Blair how Boss Awesome comes to defeat Major Blast and how Major Blast's weaknesses are, Blair says that While Major Blast don't have weakness, Boss Awesome used his own weakness to defeat Major Blast. Fred then has the idea to use his distraction to defeat Major Blast.... Which is not what Blair meant, but we'll, he keeps going up with his idea, and.... Well, he tried

Blair also mentions to the rests (since the rests of the crew still couldn't figure it out who's behind Major Blast) that there was a secret compartment on Boss Awesome's lair, and Hiro and the gangs (except Gogo and Fred) visit his lair once again, and plan to use Baymax's vision to scan the secret compartment, but, they notice that Baymax is still on the lair, discussing with Basemax about the protocol of who's speaking first and stuff.

As Fred practicing and failing, Major Blast comes and interrupts his another practice. (Huh, they can be a party pooper irl ofc) Gogo sees this and tries to help Fred, but Major Blast manages to lock her out from the Sim-Max, and now Fred fights alone, against Major Blast. In the other side, The rests of BH6 figure out who Major Blast is.

Fred, now, fighting alone, tries to use his weakness to defeat Major Blast, including using his ultra lighting feature to blind Major Blast, but ofc, with their advance tech, they manage to resist and Fred gets cornered again, Major Blast says something as they prepare to blast him, but Fred distract him to mention their forehead, and he escapes. Major Blast tries to attack Fred, and they gets it, well, Sim-Fred, and the real Fred manages to climb to their back and cut the pipewire, which creates malfunction of their suit. Finally Major Blast is defeated, Fred the winner, and everyone is happy.

Fred admit that he uses Gogo and Blair advice to defeat Major Blast, which is not what they meant. Fred finally reveals who's behind Major Blast, and it is......

Fred's mom (surprising, right, eh?)

Everyone's confused about the 'plot twist' and Fred's mom owes to tell: she was afraid about Boss Awesome's safety, and she wanted to keep Boss Awesome awesome, so she created her undefeatable 'villain' persona, Major Blast. When she was defeated, she revealed herself to Boss Awesome, and she then, retired, well until now. The reason of why she relive her alter ego again is because she wants Fred about superhero thingy, especially since the situation becomes uncertain, and the villains are getting stronger, to Hiro notice that she knew about BH6's identity all along. Well that's a plot twist I could t honestly expect, and looks like none of our theory about Major Blast were right

Well looks like superhero thingy runs thought their family, Mr. Frederickson is Boss Awesome, Mrs. Frederickson helped Boss Awesome kept his awesomeness, by becoming a 'villain', and Fred is part of BH6. Kick-Ass Family, amirite?

Fred is really happy about that, and Gogo mentions the weird parenting over there. At the end of the day, Fred is happy that he has a kick-assing mom, while Mr. Frederickson watching by far from his another vacation.

Conclusion:

It's.... A weird episode. It's not bad, it's okayish, but it's definitely weird. The plot is somewhat confusing tho, and the interaction about gogo and Fred kinda too short, I wish there was more. Kudos tho for the plot twist, since no one saw this coming (well because no one saw this coming and we don't have picture of what was going to happen), and more Fred centered episode. I wish we get to see the rests centered episode tho, to develope other characters. Overall, an okay episode, and I can't wait to speed up the momentum with the supersonic family.

Weekly WIP Update

This week was pretty productive. I realized a while back that Zuriel basically only existed in my mind in the context of Aila, so I have been working on exploring his past and his character so that you can actually root for him instead of wondering why you would care at all what this piece of paper does. It has been a different kind of fun. As a side benefit, a lot of the more minor characters have taken on more color and dimension because they can’t reveal anything about Zuriel if they are also pieces of paper.

As far as actual numbers I wrote 4,558 words this week bringing the total up to 33,524. Because I am filling out a lot of the details I just kinda skipped over in the first draft, I am not approaching the same part of the actual story as I was in this part of the first draft. Which is fine.

For my excerpt this week I have a scene with Michael’s first session training Zuriel in his sorcerer magic. Enjoy.

“Sorcerer magic doesn’t quite work the way naim magic does. A sorcerer’s magic fills their body, not just their mind. It’s a bit of a difficult concept, but you have to pull from your entire body.”

“My entire body?” Zuriel thought a moment. Trying to think of his toes and chest at the same time. He remembered when he had accidentally set the block on fire, he hadn’t done that from his whole body. “I think I did it with just my mind before.”

Michael crossed his arms, looking with interest at Zuriel. “Really? What do you mean? When?”

“Uh, I was training with Halvar, putting a block up and I lit it on fire.”

A slow smile spread on Michael’s face. “Perhaps you are uniquely capable of accessing it through two channels.” He stepped back. “Show me.”

Zuriel hesitated. To do it on purpose and doing it by accident were different things. He thought of the levels Michael had explained and tried water. He took a deep breath and much the same way he formed blocks, he tried to summon water. He succeeded in forming a small orb of water, holding it above his hand. He lifted his eyes past the water to Michael who was frowning. “What?”

“Is that all?”

Zuriel dropped the water which splashed onto the grass at his feet. “Well, I have never done this before, cut me some slack.”

Michael laughed, “No, I mean I have seen young sorcerers summon much more on their first attempts. The naim magic must not be designed to accommodate the elemental magics. Try pulling it from your whole being. See what you can do.”

“Alright.” Zuriel nodded and shook his hands out at his sides. He closed his eyes to focus, imagining the water flowing from his chest out through his limbs. He held his hands out before him from which a stream of water shot.

Michael dodged it, stepping aside with a laugh. “There we go.”

Zuriel stopped the summon abruptly, surprised at the difference between his first attempt and the second. He laughed awkwardly and smiled at Michael.

“Again.”

With less need of preparation, Zuriel repeated the jet of water. He did this several times, each proceeded with Michael’s order to do it again.

“Try to focus it. Aim it at something. Try to feel the level of power, control it.”

He struggled a bit to change the amount of power he fed into it. It was something like driving a car you are unfamiliar with. You want to slow so you push the brake, but it’s more sensitive than you think and it stops abruptly, throwing you forward in the seat. It was all or nothing for the first few attempts. Then he could do a small orb or a powerful stream that touched the far wall. Gradually, he determined how to control the power and could approximate different levels of power.

“There you go.” Michael smiled approvingly. He had trained many sorcerers when he first joined the forces. Few had made such progress on their first day. Agur had explained to him, that Zuriel had the fully formed channels, he only lacked the knowledge. He didn’t have to build up the capability over time like the others he had trained before. He had all of it, he only needed to know how to access it and control it.

Zuriel grinned, he was enjoying this magic more than any of the others. While he did enjoy the naim magic, especially the fact that he actually got to do it rather than learning the basics of it through books or lectures like the others, it was more satisfying to see what he was doing rather than fumbling through like a blind man dealing with a magic he could not see.

“Alright, now I want you to see the max of it.” Michael turned and pointed at the far wall. “I want you to hit that wall, full force. Soak it.”

“Alright.” Zuriel nodded and shook himself out again. He wasn’t sure it had any effect, but it had quickly become part of his process. He raised his hands and unleashed all of the power he could find in himself. He focused it forward, unleashing a jet of water that was not only extremely powerful, more than squarely impacting the far wall, but was rather wide. The water hit the stones hard enough to make the wall tremble, though it was too far away for either Michael or Zuriel to see.

Suddenly aware that he was feeding forward power from a reserve that now held nothing he dropped his hands, cutting off the stream of water. His head spun and he stumbled backward. Michael rushed forward to steady him and led him over to the bench.

“That was good. Sorry, I forgot that you haven’t built up your power yet. That should come in short order. The more you max, the more you will build up.” Michael explained as Zuriel held his head in his hands, trying not to puke.

“Magic Cardio.” He mumbled, a smirk on his face. While he felt like absolute garbage, he was still extremely pleased with sorcerer magic.

Michael laughed. “Yeah, magic cardio.” He watched Zuriel a moment before letting him know that they were done for the day.

Spider Twin (A Parker Request)

Requested: Anonymous

Word Count:4447

Pairing: Sibling!Peter X Sibling!Fem!Reader

Warnings: Swearing

Request: Will you write something where the reader is Peter Parker’s twin sister and is really smart and super badass? Thanks!

a/n: This was super fun to write and I honestly didn’t mean for it to be this long but It just kept flowing onto my computer. Hope you all enjoy it!

Masterlist

You ran down the hallway, eyes scanning the door numbers frantically. Room 241. There.

You barged in, the door slamming open. Heads turned to you. You wilted under the glare of your teacher, “[Y/n]...nice of you to finally join us. Fifteen minutes late.”

You slunk past Mr. Fredrickson, sliding into your seat next to your friend MJ. “Sorry Mr. Fredrickson, My alarm didn’t go off..”

He waved a hand dismissively, “I have no interest in your excuses. Now, Who can tell me what Astronomer discovered-”

As he droned on, MJ leaned over to you, “So what really happened?”

You didn't look at her, opening your notebook, you scribbled down some notes, “I don’t know what you mean, my alarm didn’t go off and I-”

“You can fool everyone else, But Peter was at school this morning before the bell and I know he wouldn’t leave you home alone unless you were sick.”

You cursed Peter, your twin, older by three minutes.

You slapped a smile in place and giggled, “You think the best of him. Trust me, he would leave me alone in a haunted forest if he could.”

MJ thankfully, left you alone after Mr. Fredrickson called on her to answer a question.

At lunch you stalked over to where Ned and Peter were sitting. Standing across from him, you crossed your arms and glared, “Peter….”

Your twin looked up at you, wincing slightly at your tone, “Yes [Y/n]?”

“Hey [Y/n]! You gonna be at home this evening? Peter and I are almost done building the Death Star!”

You smiled at your Twin’s best friend, shaking your head, “Sorry Ned. Aunt May and I are going to this charity event held by Mr. Stark.”

Peter narrowed his eyes at you, “Excuse me a moment Ned.”

He stood and grabbed your arm, dragging you across the lunch room to a quiet area. “What do you mean you are going to a charity event?”

You smirked at him, “Just what I said. If you hadn’t gotten grounded by Aunt May last night, you would've been the one to run into Iron Man and have him invite you.”

Peter glared at you, “I only got grounded because I was stopping a bank Robbery and You forgot to cover for me! Cause you were too busy hanging out in detention with MJ!”

You yawned, patting your brother’s shoulder, “And you forgot to show up late today and because of that, MJ is suspicious of my excuses.”

Peter looked abashed and scuffed his shoe, “Sorry. Forgot about that.”

Sighing, you ran a hand down your face, “This whole secret identity thing is hard enough by itself, but since we’re twins, we have to coordinate our stories or else there won’t be identities to keep secret.”

Peter grumbled, “Mr. Stark doesn’t have to keep Iron Man a secret.”

“Yes, but he is also a millionaire genius who people would think twice about hurting him or someone he loves. We’re just highschool kids! We’ve lost enough people..”

You and Peter grew silent as you thought about your parents and Uncle Ben, people who had died.

“Are you guys done with your whole Twin Telepathy thingy? Liz found this cool article!”

You and Peter walked over to the table where Ned and MJ were standing around Liz and the football jocks, all looking at her phone screen.

You peered over a shoulder and saw the picture and the headline, ‘Spider-Man and Web-Slinger, a team? Or a couple?’

Peter and you shared a disgusted look, “They think those two are a couple?”

Liz smiled and spoke excitedly, “I mean, it makes sense. They are the only two superheroes with Web Slinging powers and they are also working together.”

Ned piped up, “Except for last night. Web-Slinger was seen rescuing people from that hotel that burned down last night with Iron Man. Spider-Man was nowhere in sight. She’s so badass…” He gazed off dreamily.

You hid a giggle as Peter pretended to gag next to you.

The Bell rang signalling the end of lunch. You and MJ broke off from Ned and Peter as you headed to your last couple classes.

That evening, you were struggling with the zipper of your dress. Cursing the dress code for the charity event.

“Need help?” Peter stood, leaning against your door. You blew a stray hair out of your face in frustration.

“I hate dresses.” Peter pulled the zipper up. You turned and posed, “Good enough for one of Mr. Stark’s charity events?”

Peter smiled, “Complimenting you is just complimenting myself. You know that right?”

YO=ou stuck your tongue out at him, “Just cause we’re twins and I like to dress like a tomboy, does not mean we look alike.”

Peter ducked as you threw a high heel at him, “Kinda does!” He yelled back.

Aunt May ran into him as she rounded the corner of the apartment, “Wow Kid. Ned is at the door. Oh, [Y/n]...you look so pretty.” Aunt May covered her mouth as tears misted her eyes.

You blushed, “Come on Aunt May, Don’t start crying.”

Aunt May straightened her shoulders, you admired the black dress she had on, “You’re right. The Parker women need to be strong. Let’s go kick this charity’s butt!”

Laughing, you linked arms with her, walking past Ned and Peter, “Let’s.”

Lights lit up the sky as your cab pulled up to the Avenger tower. Stepping out, you blinked away the blinding flashing lights of cameras.

“Woah..” You didn’t want to close your eyes as you took in the red carpet rolled out to the front door, the barricades holding back fans and paparazzi, and the Avengers and Actors and Millionaires walking the carpet, waving and smiling to everyone.

“Oh, [Y/n]! Look! It’s Captain America!” Aunt May fanned herself, fangirling.

Chuckling, you tugged on her arm, “Come on! Let’s go see what the inside looks like.”

Of course, you knew what it looked like, you had been in almost every room when you were there with Peter and Mr. Stark during your training, but Aunt May didn’t know that.

“And who is this lovely person?” As soon as you entered the building, Mr. Stark was in front of you and your aunt, bowing over her hand.

Sneaking off, you left Aunt May to fend off Mr. Stark’s advances. You walked around the common center, admiring the balloons and designs. The tables holding items to be auctioned off for the charity.

You bumped into someone when you weren’t paying attention, turning and stumbling over your words, you rushed to apologize, “I’m so sorry...Mr. Fredrickson?”

You looked up confused at your Science Teacher. He was dressed in a black suit and tie and was holding a glass of champagne.

Peering down his nose at you, he sniffed in disgust, “How did you get into this exclusive event? I hardly think a failing high school student is someone deserving of this honor.”

Your blood boiled at his dismissive tone. “For your information, I was invited personally by Mr. Stark because of the internship that me and My brother won.”

Mr. Fredrickson appraised you as he raised his glass and drained the liquid, “Very well. And where is Mr. Parker?” He glanced around the crowded room.

You folded your arms, angry that you were wearing a confining dress that prevented you from kicking your arrogant teacher in the shins, “He couldn’t make it tonight. Now if you excuse me.” You turned and walked away, your face etched in a scowl.

“[Y/n]. Follow me real quick, I have something for you.” Your scowl turned into a surprised gasp as your arm was pulled and Mr. Stark dragged you through a set of doors and down the hallway to his lab.

“Mr. Stark. It’s a charity Event...you should be out mingling, and I should get back to my Aunt before she starts getting worried.”

You looked nervously at the door, expecting someone to barge in.

Mr. Stark waved a hand at you as he rummaged through his drawers, “It will only be a minute...JARVIS where did I put the upgrade for [Y/n] Parker?”

“Second drawer to the right sir, and I must agree with Miss Parker, that you should be attending the event.”

Mr. Stark shook his head, exasperation evident in his voice, “JARVIS. You know I’ll forget if I don’t do it now.” And suddenly your vision was blinded by white.

Pushing the object away, you studied the white choker necklace that Mr. Stark held. “Uhh...a necklace...cool.”

You took it out of his hands, turning it over and examining it.

Mr. Stark smiled, “Not just any necklace. The choker holds an algorithm that will release a new suit for you when you activate it. Faster than changing clothes in alley ways.”

Your eyes flew wide, “What? Really? That’s so cool!”

Mr. Stark wrapped an arm around your shoulder as you clasped the choker on, “You are easier to make upgrades for since your webs aren’t man made like your brothers.”

You chuckled, “He hates it so much. The same spider bit us, but he only got strength, balance and stickiness while I got the ability to shoot actual webs out of my wrists, agility, and stickiness.”

“To activate, all you have to say is ‘Webs on!” And it will cover you in a new disguise that has a heater, an AI named Max and night vision.”

“That’s so cool! Thanks Mr. Stark!” You surprised the man by leaping in and giving him a hug.

“It’s nothing kid.” He harrumphed and straightened his tie as you stood in front of the doors leading back to the event.

You hid a smile, straightening your own dress as the doors opened and you were once again thrown in the crazy mix of celebrities.

“There you are! [Y/n] Parker! Don’t you disappear on me again!” Aunt May ran up, worry and stress evident on her face.

Mr. Stark rested a hand on your shoulder, “I’m so sorry Ms. Parker, I was simply introducing [Y/n] to some benefactors since she will be working closely to them during the internship.”

Aunt May calmed down, flashing a dazzling smile and letting a girly giggle slip out as she switched her attention to Mr. Stark, “Oh well then. Guess that’s okay.”

You crouched as the lights suddenly flickered and static filled the air. “Happy! What’s going on?” Mr. Stark barked out at his manservant.

Happy shrugged, fear in his eyes, “No clue Mr. Stark.”

“Citizens of New York! Pleasure to make your acquaintance! Such a lovely outing, lovely event. Charity for the poor children in Brooklyn, so noble of you Tony Stark.”

All eyes turned to face the stage. On it stood a man in an Iron Man suit.

“Who is in my Mark 25!?” Mr. Stark stormed up to the stage, inadvertently pushing Aunt May forward and away from you slightly.

The voice laughed, the sound sinister and causing goosebumps to raise on your arms. Your spider senses were going off like crazy. Your eyes scanned the room, seeing everyone was paying attention to the altercation at the stage.

You began quietly walking backwards towards the doors.

“Tony Stark...Iron Man. You will no longer be associated to that name. Instead, I shall rise as the supreme Man of Iron! Iron Fist! You, who left me for dead in the sands of Afghanistan! You will no longer haunt my nightmares!”

Your head flew up to the Iron man suit. That voice..You knew that voice…

Mr. Stark tilted his head, “What do you?? Who are you?”

The visor of the suit slid back and you couldn't muffle the gasp that escaped your lips.

The man peered down at where Mr. Stark stood frozen, lips twisted up cruelly, “Jacob Fredrickson. Remember me now Tony?”

Mr. Stark fumbled, words stumbling, “You..the Humvee….Jacob?”

Suddenly you recalled the news from when Tony Stark was discovered in Afghanistan barely alive. He had been riding in a Humvee that was attacked. One of the men in the truck was…

“That’s right! You left me for dead!”

Mr. Stark raised his hands and stepped forward, only stopping with Mr. Fredrickson raised a blaster at him.

“Jacob...I didn’t leave you. I was taken hostage. If I had known you were still alive…”

Mr. Fredrickson mocked Mr. Stark, “I was taken hostage...Bullshit! You could’ve saved me! But no matter. I’ve been hiding in plain sight at MidTown high as a science teacher, biding my time until I could crush you!”

You regained your origianl actions and ducked into the hallway. Leaning against the wall, you tried to process what you had just discovered.

Fingers reaching up, you fiddled with the white choker…

“Alright. Let’s try this...Webs On!”

As the last word left your mouth, you felt the collar expanding. Watching your hands in amazement, you saw the silky costume cover your skin.

Running you found a mirror on the wall and stared at the person in it.

You were covered, head to toe in white silk that looked like a web. Your eyes were surrounded by a white mask.

“Hello [Y/n]. I am Max. Your personal AI.”

You tilted your head as you listened to the slightly distorted male voice that seemed to be speaking from your head.

“Am I the only one that can hear you?”

“Yes [Y/n].”

You grinned, “Sick.”

You were interrupted from your excitement by the doors bursting open, a body sliding across the floor to rest by your feet.

You quickly leaned down and felt for a pulse. “Still alive. Good. Alright, let’s go kick some science teacher butt.”

You raced back to the common area to see that panic that was ensuing. Mr. Stark had managed to get ahold of a different suit and was flying around, avoiding blaster shots from Mr. Fredrickson who was still standing on the stage.

People were screaming in panic and running to exits. You shot out some web and swung up to the rafters, “Max...I think we need some help. Can you call my Brother?”

“Calling Peter Parker.” You heard the dialing of the phone, internally cursing your brother as the dialing went on. He was probably ignoring you to focus on the death star with Ned, still throwing himself a pity party.

“Watch out!”

You looked up in time to see Mr. Fredrickson aiming at you.

You shot a web out and swung down to the ground, narrowly avoiding being blown to smitheroons.

“Thanks. Now get somewhere safe.” You told the young woman who had saved you.

She nodded, her eyes wide with fear, “Good luck Web-Slinger!” She called out as she ran out of the building.

Dimly you could hear sirens.

“[Y/n], what do you want? Ned and I are almost done-”

You cut off your brother as he finally answered his phone. Your voice came out rushed and panicked as you swung around the room, avoiding blasters and trying to track what Mr. Stark was doing so that you could jump in and help, “Peter! Mr. Fredrickson is evil and the charity is under attack! I need Spider-man to back me and Mr. Stark up now!”

You heard Peter rustling and knew he was grabbing his backpack that held his suit, “I’m on my way! Stay safe sister.”

“You too Bro.” You clicked off and Jumped out of the way as Mr. Fredrickson finally blasted off and headed outside.

Landing on the ground, you waited for Mr. Stark to land beside you.

“I called in my brother. This suit is awesome Mr. Stark.”

“Alright. We can’t wait for Spider-Man to get here. We have to handle this now. He has a plan, or else he wouldn’t risk being exposed like this. I need you to try and stall him or tie him up while I work with JARVIS to try and gain control of the Mark 25 again.”

You nodded, running outside and scanning the skies for an Iron Suit.

You caught sight of a white tail of heat spiraling towards the top of the Empire State building. “Got ya!”

You web slung across town.

“[Y/n], You are receiving a call from Aunt May, do you wish to answer?”

You swore but answered Max, “Let it through.”

“[Y/n]!? Where are you!? Are you safe!?” You tried to keep your voice normal as you narrowly avoided oncoming traffic by pulling your webs up, “I’m fine Aunt May...I got pushed into a panic room with some other wait staff. We’re all okay. Waiting for the okay from Mr. Stark to come out.”

“Good. Okay. Good. I’m heading back home. Call me as soon as you are out! Okay!?”

You smiled softly, “I will Aunt May. Stay safe. Love you.”

“Love you too [Y/n].”

The call ended. You leapt over a street and stuck on a window of the Empire State building. Looking up you saw Mr. Fredrickson landing on the top and manipulating some wires.

“What are you planning?” You whispered to yourself.

“I don’t know, but I’ve always hated science class, so this should be fun.”

You laughed,looking over to see the bright red and black suit that your brother wore as Spider-Man clinging to the window next to you.

“Glad you could make it Spider-Man.”

He winked, “Anytime Web-Slinger. I know your hopeless without me. Cool suit by the way.” You saw his eyes widen in envy and turned away to hide your smirk.

Shooting out some web at him, you laughed as he ducked, and began climbing the building, “Says the man who has to chemically make his webs.”

“Hey! It’s no fair that you got that ability! I was bit first.”

You chuckled, motioning for him to quiet down as you got closer to the top.

“Soon the whole world will know what I felt! Hahaah!”

“That’s not creepy at all.” Your Twin murmured next to you. You shot him a glare.

Sneaking a glance, you saw Mr. Fredrickson in the suit, Tying wires to a weather receptor.

Sliding back down, you whispered to your Twin, “Okay, he’s doing something with weather. Mr. Stark said to stall or tie him up.”

“What’s Mr. Stark doing?”

“He’s trying to regain control of his suit.”

Spider-Man looked at you in disbelief, “Mr. Stark is brilliant, he’ll have control before we even do anything.”

You sighed, “Now is not the time for your inner fangirl to come out. Obviously Mr. Stark hasn't succeeded yet, so we need to stop Mr. Fredrickson from whatever he is planning to do.”

Spider-Man stuck his tongue out at you. But you ignored him, instead glancing around at the noisy City Nightlife.

“If I was abandoned in Afghanistan and left for dead...what would my revenge plan consist of?” You thought out loud.

Looking up at the sky, you saw clouds swallow and hide the moon’s light.

“That’s it!”

“What’s it?” Spider-man Asked.

Turning to him, you spoke fast, “I need you to distract him! Jump up there and get his focus on you while I sneak up from behind.”

“Okay..”

You watched, waiting, as Spider-Man leapt up into view. “Hello there, I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you not to mess with Government property.” He sassed the teacher.

You silently snuck up on the other side as Mr. Fredrickson turned, annoyed to the red masked boy.

“I will squash you like the bug you are! But first, I must finish destroying New York city in a sandstorm!”

You leapt, twisting your body into a ball and landing on the top of the weather receptor.

Mr. Fredrickson turned, gasping in anger as he saw you, your white suit gleaming as the moon reappeared from behind the clouds.

As your fingers danced towards the wires you laughed, “For a teacher, you sure don’t know how to prepare for the final test.” And with that, you ripped the wires out and tossed them to Spider-Man.

Mr. Fredrickson fired up his suit, fire in his eyes as he leapt to intercept your throw. His fury turned to confusion when the blaster on his suit faltered and sputtered out, causing him to thump back to the building.

Spider-Man grabbed the wires and swung around to land beside where you had crawled down to stand over Mr. Fredrickson.

“Your final grade...F!” You smirked as you webbed his mouth shut.

Mr. Fredrickson struggled, But the suit wouldn’t work for him.

In a few minutes. Mr. Stark flew up in his second suit. “Got the controls to work again. Sorry we ruined your plans.” He said to the Angry science teacher.

The next couple minutes flew by fast. And before you knew it, you were standing next to Spider-Man and Iron Man as paparazzi and news reporters surrounded you on the ground in front fo the Empire State building while cops were hauling a disgruntled Mr. Fredrickson away in handcuffs.

“Mr. Stark! Over here!”

“Spider-Man, can you confirm that you are a student?”

“Web-Slinger, over here sweetheart!”

“Is it true that you two are in a relationship!?”

That last question made bile rise up in your throat. You shared a look with Spider-Man and stepped towards the short news man, “Let’s get one thing straight. Spider-Man and I are partners in fighting crime and that’s it. To assume we are in a relationship is grossly inaccurate and slander.”

Spider-man stepped forward as well, speaking to the crowd, “Web-Slinger is an amazing hero who I have had the pleasure of fighting crime alongside of. But we are our own people and deserve our own recognition. We should not be used for your gossip pages or hype circuits. We are not together, and that’s all you need to know.”

You kept your face controlled as you nodded cooly towards Spider-Man as he webbed away.

Waving off the questions hurled towards you after he finished his soliloquy, You webbed off in the opposite direction, vanishing in the dark night.

The light in your bedroom was on as you snuck in through the fire escape. Sighing, you reached up towards your neck and spoke, “Webs Off.”

You sagged in relief as you suit retracted back towards your necklace.

“Whaaaa…?”

You leapt and shrieked as you whirled and saw a frozen Ned sitting on your floor.

“What are you doing in my room!?” You screamed.

Ned’s mouth was frozen open as his eyes widened.

You panicked, “It’s not what it looks like!”

Ned suddenly grinned widely as he stood up excitedly, you just noticing he gripped the completed Death Star in his hands, “It looks like your my favorite hero ever! Web-Slinger!”

You got distracted as you saw the light turn on in Peter’s room. You grabbed Ned’s hand and dragged hima cross the hall, entering right as Peter was disabling his suit.

“Whaaa….??”

“Ned!” Peter turned, shocked and panicked. When he saw you standing next to Ned he grew red in the face, “What is this [y/n]!”

You smirked, “He saw me. He knows who I am, figured as your best friend, it’s only fair he knows who you are to.”

Ned looked back and forth between you and your twin so fast you thought his head might snap, “And the gossip columns thought you guys were a couple!” He paused, seeming to think and then he gagged, “Ew!”

You and Peter laughed, the air seeming to calm down, “Yeah. That’s probably the most disturbing article I had seen in a while.”

Ned put the Death Star down on Peter’s desk as he slumped in the chair, looking at you and your twin as you walked to stand next to each other.

“Who else knows?” He asked.

You and Peter shared a look, “Only Mr. Stark. Aunt May doesn’t know. So we need you to swear to secrecy!”

“Peter? [Y/n]? Is that you?” The voice of Aunt May floated into Peter’s room.

You both looked at Ned with desperate eyes.

You opened the door and shouted down, “Yeah Aunt May! I got in through the fire escape! Iron Man caught Mr. Fredrickson and gave me the okay to leave. I’m just telling Peter what happened tonight.”

“Okay. I’m glad you got home safe!”

You sighed as you closed the door. Thankful that Aunt May had not come to the room herself to check on you.

“I’ll keep your secret you two. I can be your guy in the chair!” Ned’s voice squeaked in excitement.

You simply smiled and shook your head as he began rambling about Web-Slinger and Spider-Man.

The next morning, you dragged yourself to school. As you entered Room 241 you overheard several of your classmates whispering.

“I heard Web-Slinger defeated Mr. Fredrickson single handedly!”

“I heard that she is a student here! Who do you think it could be?”

“Did you hear what her and Spider-Man said that night?”

YOu were interrupted from you eavesdropping as Liz and MJ stood in front of your desk. “Hey guys.” You waved at you friends.

MJ tilted her head as she studied you. You fidgeted in your seat under her scrutiny.

Finally she spoke, “Nice Necklace. New?”

You sighed silently in relief, reaching up, you touched the white choker, “Yeah, Present from Mr. Stark for attending the Charity event last night.”

MJ groaned, “That’s right, You were there. Did you see Web-Slinger and Spider-Man?”

You shook your head, faking disappointment, “Naw. Mr. Stark made sure I was safe and put me with his wait staff in a panic room away from the action.”

Liz, who had been clicking and focused on her phone, finally spoke up, “Did you see that the newspaper issued a formal apology to Web-Slinger and Spider-Man for the article from yesterday?”

You shook your head and looked down at Liz’s phone as she turned it to you.

‘Web-Slinger and Spider-Man, partners in crime and your friendly neighborhood heros.’ Read the headline. You skimmed the contents, smiling as you saw that they apologized and promised to defend the actions of the two heros in the future.

“Well. That’s a pleasant surprise.” You murmured.

Liz slumped down in the desk next to you, “I still think Web-Slinger and Spider-Man are in a secret relationship.”

You glanced up to see your twin walking past your room with Ned. He looked in and winked at you.

You turned back to Liz’s and MJ’s argument about the truth of Web-Slinger and Spider-Man’s relationship, happy to just be there in the moment as simply [Y/n] Parker, high school student.
