lost in translation | carmen berzatto

you get a job working as a waitress at the bear. if only you knew it would get you here. ─ 3.68k ─ angst and fluff, breakups / fighting, some cursing, reader is younger then carmy.

THE STRANGERS PHASE

The first time you and Carmen met was when Nat and Richie had hired you as part of the Bear staff. 

A waitress, and a sweet looking one at that. Younger than him. "You guys finally settled on a candidate?" Carmen asks as Natalie and Richie watch you from the small window in the kitchen.

You sit there for a moment before adjusting the silverware, passing Richie's test almost immediately. "I believe we just did." Nat confirms. Carmen takes a look for himself and swears his heart skips a beat as he watches you for a brief moment before clearing his throat, having to pull himself away. "Okay. Cool." He brushes it off.

He didn't get the chance to meet you right away, not until the night before their soft opening. You'd been through training, getting used to the system at the Bear and getting accompanied with staff. All but one. The head chef and owner, 'Carmy' as everyone called him.

"Hey, you're the new hire, right?" A voice asks as you shut your locker. You jump a bit, as you turn, smiling. "I am." The male nods, holding out his hand. "Sorry about scaring you. I'm Carmen Berzatto, don't think we've had the chance to meet." He introduces.

You accept the handshake, swearing you feel a little spark between you two just from touching him.

───

From there, it was like clockwork. You and him would get stuck closing together, and each night you'd dive into a new part of his past. "So, what made you wanna open this place?" You question. He exhales, momentarily pausing his movements of scrubbing the counters before he sniffles. "My brother left it to me after his death."

You pause, staring at him. "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have asked-" He laughs. "You couldn't have known. It's okay, really. I actually wanted to work here, or what used to be here, for the longest time by his side but he didn't let me. Never knew why. It was the thing he left me in his will." He gives a more in depth answer.

You nod slowly. "I'm sorry about that, Carm. His death and not letting you work here." You specify as you look at him. "If it's any comfort, I think your brother would be really proud of what you've turned this place into." You say.

He nods, sniffling again. You set your rag back in the soapy water, sighing as you mark off your final station to clean on the clipboard.

"See you tomorrow night?" He asks as you begin walking to the lockers.

You smile. "It's a date, chef." You confirm. He blushes at the idea of you and him being on a date.

───

Carmen swore to himself he'd take you on an actual date. The planning was easy, it was actually asking you that he found to be a challenge.

"So, are you seeing anyone?" He asks, trying to sound as casual as he can the next night when you two are closing, which didn't come for almost a week. Though he was grateful, it also felt like torture having to wait to get you alone.

"No, I'm not actually. Chicago hasn't exactly been my Paris, you know? City of love and all that bullshit." You answer as you stare at the chore list for that night. "Check the mayonnaise labels. Does Nat think our mayo is expired?" You question.

“Nat thinks all of our stuff is expired one way or another. It doesn’t expire ‘till the nineteenth of May.” He grabs out a knife to start chopping the vegetables. “Anyway, Chicago isn’t really known for its romance.” He points out.

"So I've been told." You stare at the menu. "What's a vegetable medley?" You question as you look back up at him, catching him staring at you. He clears his throat and quickly sets the knife down, wiping his hands on a towel. "Uh, it's a bunch of veggies like green and yellow bell peppers, asparagus and squash topped with balsamic vinegar.” He answers.

You nod slowly. “Only you can explain something like that and make it sound so good right now, Carm.” "Did you eat today?" He doesn't hesitate to ask. "Haven't had a chance to. Richie had me running around all day with the new system, but don't worry, I'm gonna make myself something at home."

"No, come on. I'm- You're not driving home hungry like that. It’s a safety risk. Sit." You go to protest before he repeats himself. "Sit."

The entire night was spent with you and Carmen eating his way too fancy dishes and talking. Sharing memories - childhoods, dreams, stories.

He likes to consider it your first date.

You like to consider it the night you fell in love.

───

You weren't sure what you and Carmen were after that night in the kitchen. Or how to even ask. Do you just come right out and say it? Is there a specific way or time to ask? Google provided zero help, so it was up to you to solve this one.

Maybe that’s what was driving you and Carmy apart for the next week: your mind trying to run through how to even approach that with him. It wasn't until he ambushed you at your locker that you were forced to approach the topic with him. "Not talking to you all week has been driving me insane. Are we okay? If dinner was too much.." He lets his voice trail off.

You smile, as you exhale. "Carmen, I loved dinner. I was just unsure of where we stood. Thought I was driving myself crazy trying to figure out if that was a date or not." You admit. He stares at you, nodding slowly. "Let me take you out to an actual dinner. A real date night." He requests.

You nod. "Okay, I'd like that." You barely have another chance to speak before Richie's calling your name. You place a hand on Carmen's shoulder as you pass him, giving him a small smile before you rush to find out what Richie needs you for.

Carmen watches you leave, wishing you'd come back to him.

Carmen had thought of your date night perfectly. A romantic, rooftop dinner overlooking Chicago’s nighttime streets. “You bring all the girls up to your rooftop, Berzatto?” You question as you stare at the cars passing by.

“Only the special ones.” He’d answer with a grin.

You wished he kissed you that night, but he didn’t. Instead he settled for dropping you off at your apartment before leaving. You could tell he wanted to kiss you, too, but he wanted to wait.

"So, you and Carmen?" Sydney asks as you help her open the Bear that morning, cutting vegetables up with her. You sigh, a smile on your face regardless. "How'd you hear about that?" You question in return.

“It’s the Bear. There’s no such thing called secrets when you work here. Everyone knows everything about everyone. Now, you and Carmy?” She asks again as you laugh. “There’s nothing going on between us. He and I got dinner a few times, but I don’t think it’s going anywhere.” You say with a shrug.

She stares at you, noticing the blush in your cheeks. You grin. “Don’t even. Nothing has happened between us.” You reiterate. She laughs, grabbing her bucket of vegetables. "Whatever you say!"

You roll your eyes, turning and staring at Carmen in the doorway. There he goes again, staring at you when you aren't looking. It doesn't slide past you that he has a noticeable sparkle in his eyes.

───

Of course the universe would have it out for you and Carmen to close together that night. As you two stand over the counters, cleaning them down, you decide to ask the question that had been plaguing your mind.

"What are you and I?" You ask, looking up at him for the first time. His scrubbing stops, as he looks back at you. "I want us to be together." He answers honestly, and you're a bit taken back by his honesty.

“You seem like you’ve thought about this.”

“More than you know.” Translation: I’ve thought about you.

You nod slowly as you walk over to the sink, beginning to wash your hands. "I want us to be together, too. I just don't want this to be weird between us because we work together, you know." You voice your concerns as you grab the towel, drying your hands.

You turn, finding him standing behind you. "I don't care if we want us to be together. I want us to give.. us.. a chance." He says, taking your hand in his. You stare at your hands interlocked as you hum. "Carmen."

"Yes?" He asks softly.

"If you don't kiss me right now I might just walk out and not come back." You tease.

He doesn't have to be told twice, and he kisses you like he's been thinking about it. Like he's been needing that. Hands cupping your face, yours finding his waist.

You didn't need much of an answer as to what you and Carmen were after that.

THE LOVERS PHASE

You and Carmen had agreed: the staff didn’t need to know you two were officially dating. If it was important enough to share, sure. But other then that, you two wouldn’t go around publicly announcing it.

Turns out, dating Carmen wasn't much different from being friends with him. Except now you were in the kitchen at two in the morning, slow dancing with him.

It'd started with dinner that night. Him holding you from behind,

Frank Sinatra plays lowly on the radio as he spins you around, with you grinning as you sway with him. “Who taught you to dance, Berzatto?” You question.

“Nat did. Taught me for her wedding. Said if I looked like a fish outta water she’d ban me from the reception.” He answers with a lovesick grin. You laugh, throwing your head back. “Sounds like Nat.”

He smirks. “And who taught you?” He asks in return. You hum as he pulls you closer to his chest, as Sinatra’s ‘The Girl from Ipanema’ plays. “I did. Convinced myself when I was a little girl I'd be like Misty Copeland.” You answer.

He grins. Only two weeks had gone by with him being officially yours, and he was falling in love with you. Maybe that’s why it spilled out as he held you close.

“I love you.” His voice is hushed.

You pulled away only a bit to look at his eyes. Maybe searching to see if they were genuine, if he said what you think he did. "Carmen..." You smile, a laugh coming out. "I love you, too." You repeat it back to him.

"Take the too out. Makes it sound like you're just agreeing." He requests softly, lips brushing barely against yours. You giggle at his plea, but comply anyway. "Carmen, I love you." You say it again, this time it feels more real.

Two weeks in, and you two are in love. If you knew any better, you'd assume you were screwed.

───

"What do you wanna do with your life?" The question startled you as you and Carmen sat on the balcony of your apartment, overlooking downtown Chicago. Buildings illuminating the night sky, car horns blaring every few minutes from the nighttime traffic.

"I wanna open a bar. Maybe go to Los Angeles or New York, just open my own place. You know?" You hold your knees up on the patio chair with you, a cup of tea in hand. "Some dive bar but... fancier. Live music, live entertainment."

He nods slowly, grabbing out his notepad. "Get out of Chicago?" He asks. You laugh. "Pretty much. Don't get me wrong, I love this city. This just.. isn't the plan." You say with a shrug.

"Mm." He says, scribbling something down on the paper. You lean over, staring at it. "What are you drawing, Berzatto?" You question. "Nothin'. It's a surprise, if I show you it now it won't be a surprise." He points out.

You grin as you lean your head back. "Okay. What about you? Is the Bear your final dream?" You question, still looking over at him. He sets the pen down, looking over the skyline. "I don't know. Though until I met you I had all my dreams and goals figured out."

"Don't say it-"

"You're my new dream." He grins, looking over at you. You laugh, rolling your eyes. "That was unbelievably cheesy, Berzatto. I don't know if I can ever look at you the same after that." You tease.

"You don't have to look at me to kiss me." He points out as you roll your eyes, standing up. You give him a quick peck as you open the door, stepping halfway inside. "Don't take too long getting to bed, okay? It's cold out here." You comment.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming." He waits until you're fully inside to pull back out the notepad. Sketched on is a logo for a bar, your bar. Your name written in what he imagines is neon lights. 'ANGEL'S BAR'. The way he views you, an angel. His angel.

He hums, standing up and making his way inside, the notepad tucked under his arm. He finds you in the living room, sorting through the mail. “Hey, hey, my old college roommate’s getting married. New York. What a terrifying city.” You laugh as you set the invite down, before his arm wraps around your waist, pulling you down to the bedroom. 

───

Carmen had spent so much time in your apartment that it practically felt like his own. So, the idea of asking him to move in wasn’t totally crazy. His clothes were now hung up in your closet, his cologne and cedarwood soap lingered.

Your relationship with Carmen had grown, so much so that you were now spending time with his family. You stood in the kitchen of the Berzatto home. Your first family dinner with them, and it had been more drama filled then a soap opera. Soft music filled the room, cinnamon roll scented candles lit making the house smell like a bakery. Your scarf hung on the staircase banister. 

"First official Berzatto dinner. How ya holdin’ up?" Sugar asks as she slides beside you, handing you a glass of wine to match her own. "Oh you know me so well. It's going.. as good as I expected it to be. Are they always this chaotic?" You question.

"Hell yes. The Berzatto family has never been calm, y'know?" She laughs. "But you seem to be fitting in nicely. And this is the first year of us doing one of these that Carmen truly seems happy, I think you're to thank for that."

You grin. "Well, as long as he's smiling." You and her watch him in the living room, chasing down the younger family members, laughing as they tackle him down to the floor.

"Yeah, well, I've seen Carmen with other girls before, and none of them have made him this happy. So, on behalf of the Berzatto family, thanks for bringing us a smiling Carmy." She raises her glass to you as you laugh, lifting yours as well.

Carmen watches as you clink glasses with Nat as he enters the kitchen. "You two doing good in here?" He asks. "Oh, we are doing wonderful. I should go find my husband." Nat says, smiling and walking out of the kitchen.

You sigh, setting your wine glass down behind you on the counter. "Hi." He greets, arms wrapped around your waist. You hum, wrapping yours around his neck. "Hey you." You reply, pressing your lips against his.

“I’m really glad you’re here.” He says quietly after he pulls away, placing his forehead against yours, closing his eyes.

You smile, placing a hand on his cheek. “I’m glad too, Carm.”

───

Arguments in relationships are common. They’re healthy, they bring growth. You and Carmen had a fair share of disagreements but never ones where he called you the name he did tonight: clingy. 

“Can you just fucking leave me be for a second?! I don’t need you crowding me and being so- so fucking clingy.” Right in the office of the Bear, as you made sure he understood what was happening with Syd’s plans. 

Now here you were, in Nat’s living room. “He probably didn’t mean it, you know?” She asks softly as she pushes some of your hair out of your face, wiping tears that fall down your cheeks. “I think he’s just been so worried about our mom, her issues and the Bear.”

“What if he did mean it though? What if.. What if he was just with me out of convenience or pity?” You voice your worries. She shakes her head. “I have never seen Carmy as happy anywhere else as he is with you. He loves you, Y/n. He wants to be with you, no one else.” She replies.

“You don’t call the people you love clingy.” You point out. She sighs, letting you lay your head on her shoulder. No matter what she said, nothing changed how you felt. Carmen thought you were clingy. Whether subconsciously or not, he thought it. 

The thought made your heart ache. 

───

You were younger than Carmen, you knew that much from the moment you met him. But it had never been an issue in your relationship, until now it seems. A simple, offhand comment about kids and marriage you had made to Syd. You wanted those things, and you wanted them with Carmy. 

That’s what landed you in this position on a cold night, with him sitting on the armchair in front of you and you on the floor, crouched to try and read his eyes. Find any sign that you could get past this. 

“We’re just on different paths. I shouldn’t have allowed myself to get this close to you. And I should have stopped myself before I hurt you.” Translation: you’re still young and I can’t hold you back.

He didn’t stay after that. His clothes still hung in your closet, with you on the floor of the living room. 

Translation: what now? 

THE ENEMIES STAGE 

“So, plans for you being in New York?” Diane asks as you and her sit on the rooftop of her apartment building. You sigh, as you lean back on your chair. “Drink a lot. Forget my relationship problems in Chicago and hope for the best.” You answer with a nod.

She rolls her eyes. “Come on. You can’t expect to fix your relationship in different states without talking.” She points out as you look over at her. “When did I hire you as a relationship therapist?” You tease. “Carm and I will be fine.” 

You couldn’t find the translation anymore for what “fine” meant. 

───

The wedding was gorgeous. Diane looked stunning and her husband was the sweetest man. The sun was setting over Manhattan, as you sat at the open bar perched on the rooftop. Staring at the missed call from a familiar contact: ‘Chef’s Kiss’. Carmy. 

Maybe you had asked him for too much. Wanting kids, marriage. He’d give them to you if you asked, you knew that. But the idea of him just putting up with that just to keep you? 

You didn’t return his call or any of his texts. Instead, you kept quiet until you returned to Chicago a week later. A box perched on your apartment doorstep with your belongings. Jewelry, shirts you left at his place. All of them except for the scarf that still sat on Donna’s staircase banister.

Maybe he kept it because it smells like you. Or because it reminded him of something pure. The one thing he really knew was now gone, and the scarf was a fragment of that. 

───

It didn’t shock any of the staff at the Bear when you turned in your notice and stopped working there. Or when you took the couch you and Carmy used to sit on during late night conversations and moved it eleven hours with you to New York. Along with his hoodies, the one you wanted to keep most because it smelled like him still. 

You didn’t delete the videos or photos you had with him. It feels too real if you do. 

You stared at the kitchen. Where he used to hold you, scolding you for how you handled knives. The balcony, where he told you that you were his new dream. The living room where he’d kiss you like it was the first time. The bedroom, where some nights, he made you his own, and others he held you while you slept. 

The only thing you found in the apartment that was foreign to you? A piece of notepad paper, with “ANGEL’S BAR” drawn on the front. You stuck that in your pocket as you made your way to your car. 

It hurts to look at. It hurts to think about him. 

Now it’s just you, in your hundred square foot apartment that you share with a roommate now. You manage to delete the playlist of songs that he loved swaying with you to in early mornings in kitchen lights. You learn his favorite melody by heart: stranger, to lovers, to enemies.

─── 

Closing that chapter of your life, you focused more on opening Angel’s Bar. His logo on the front, in downtown New York. Soft piano playing as chatter fills the room, drinks being poured in the corners. 

It may have just been Carmen’s luck to find you on opening night, chatting around with the customers as he watched from the window, a familiar red scarf wrapped around his neck to help fight the cold air.

Translation: it reminds him of innocence. It reminds him of the better part of himself, the one you brought out in him.

Carmen learned to take lessons from break-ups pretty early on into his life. The one he got from you?

“Falling in love isn't for the weak. So don't try it at home.” He closes the book that he was given as an assignment for his AA class.

Maybe you were his favorite melody after all.

How would the other ninja + Master Wu react to see Kai as an Anacondrai?

(CW I drew some partially topless Kai in this. Also. This got way longer than I thought it would)

Well they don't really have a whole lotta time to process that initially. The first time everyone sees it is when Kai shows up on his elemental dragon with Skylor and then they immediately head off to Ninjago to stop Chen. There's time to talk on the dragon ride over the ocean and the brief stops at the underground HQ.

I feel like there'd be much more of a reaction to the Mark of the Anacondrai itself, because it amplifies Kai's betrayal. Him having it suggests he's turned not just to Chen's side, but also joined the Anacondrai cult as well. This would probably mean Nya and Garmadon don't automatically realize "oh he's playing a longer con" even after he winks at them in the snake pit. (It also means Sensei Garmadon sees another parallel with himself and Kai later on, in that they both took on the marks and then later turned on Chen)

I figure that Chen would relish in that and would actively have Kai show off the Mark. So, all the masters see Kai's mark when they interrupt the Ceremony. He has to explain himself to them very quickly after the Ceremony fight to avoid getting attacked (especially if any of them saw him going bonkers with Chen's Staff)

(I do think it'd be fun though if the guards at the factory gossiped about one of the Elemental Masters getting the Mark of the Anacondrai, though, so that the imprisoned masters are all suddenly worried that one of the few left in the fight have switched sides)

Jay would probably make a joke about Kai's new ink, Cole would point out how dangerous his plan was once he hears about it, and Zane would agree. Zane also ices the tattoo to help with the pain and swelling, even if its not as effective after, like, however long he's had it (timeline is iffy but it's not more than like three days I think).

(If you wanna keep the angst going, too, the fact that Kai essentially goes missing while searching for Skylor would probably bring up some doubts in the other masters, and maybe even his own team, about whether he could still be pulled onto Chen's side -especially with Skylor as a possible bargaining chip- at that point.)

Once Kai's been turned into an Anacondrai though, not a whole lot changes. Jay's initial reaction is also jokes because... what else are you supposed to say to your friend who has turned into a snake man? Cole is probably the one to prompt him to try and play with the invisibility ability cause That's a Cool Power, Dude. Generally looking on the upside with it. Zane's got a little bit of scientific interest in the whole transformation.

Lloyd just. Doesn't fully process it. He does promise Kai immediately though that they'll turn him back to normal (because its Lloyd. He feels responsible for his big brother being in this situation even though he shouldn't). He's genuinely relieved when they start turning back when the spell begins to wear off.

Kai does not like Lloyd putting responsibility on turning him back on himself, especially cause Kai betrayed and still definitely feels bad about it and the act he had to put on for it to work.

The Ninja all do pay close attention, though, because they're obviously worried about Kai's well being, but also... What if Kai likes being an Anacondrai (once he adjusts to fighting like one)? What if he wants to stay that way? What if Kai's turning to Chen's side wasn't entirely fake?

Kai sticks close to Skylor during their time as Anacondrai as much as possible because he's kinda freaked out by himself and doesn't want everyone to keep looking at him like.... well, like he's turned into a snake man.

Wu doesn't have any notable reaction to Garmadon as an Anacondrai, but I feel like he'd be very confused and a little freaked out on why one of his students is also one now. He gives Kai a very disapproving look when he learns how it happened because that was incredibly dangerous Kai. He doesn't really scold him though cause 1. Not the time. 2. Kai's plan worked. 3. No one knew that the mark would turn him into a snake.

Also, you didn't mention the folks at Kryptarium, but they almost definitely poke fun at Kai for being a snake now when they recognize him. Pythor finds it very funny that one of the Ninja is now a snake.

The worst reaction to Kai's Anacondrai form is definitely when they land in Ninjago City and people start freaking out because there are Serpentine on a Dragon made of Fire.

Potential conflicts for the I love you blurb/fic

1. Annie gets injured at school. Proper injured and has to be taken to hospital. Matty loses it completely, snapping at everything and everyone, including reader. He snaps at her and reader starts to cry (she feels like absolute shit and Matty is clearly not helping) and goes to hide in the bathroom. Once Matty is told that Annie will be alright, he goes and tries to talk to reader, but she's still shaken and doesn't wanna talk to him. He tries to apologise, and in his apology, he says that he loves her.

2. Reader starts hanging out with an old friend of her, maybe a high-school friend or something like that. Matty gets jealous but doesn't say anything at first. Then Annie tells him how reader brought her friend to class and he thought them about whatever it is that he does (maybe he's a firefighter or something that kids think is cool). Matty, like the little shit that he is, instead of communicating his discomfort, he starts distancing himself from reader. When she, tired and confused by his antics, approaches him to ask for an explanation, things get heated, and they start going at each other. When Matty suggests that she's cheating on him, she says something like: Are you stupid? Why would I cheat on you if I love you?

both of these are very, very good. I love them!!! I wanna give my thoughts on both, but I only have the energy for one rn, so here that is! and when I come back and add more, I'll reblog this lol <3

(no proofreading, just vibes)

okay, I'm gonna alter the first one a lil' and maybe make it sadder... apologies, but I promise it ends nice <3

I can see Annie falling off a swing at school and breaking her arm. matty gets the phone call and drops EVERYTHING.

he gets to school and the nurses office and sees you sat with Annie and she's sniffling and holding her arm, her eyes red from crying.

matty runs in, and as soon as Annie sees him, she days, "Daddy?" and then bursts into tears, matty actually feels his heart splinter into 1000 pieces and comes rushing over and holding her, shushing her and stroking her head as it rests against his chest.

"What happened?" he says it kind of angrily, but you brush it off just assuming he's stressed.

"Oh, don't worry too much," you can see matty is annoyed at your words, but you still shake it off and contuine. "Annie was just swinging a little too high and fell off the swing. the nurse says her arm might be broken, so you need to take a little trip to a&e. you'll be okay though, won't you Annie?" As you ask you stretch your arm to stroke her head, but matty jerks her away from you, and you shoot your head up to look at him questioningly.

mattys jaw ticks before he sighs and starts angrily whispering, and if Annie wasn't there, you're sure he'd be shouting. "she'll be okay? where were you? aren't you meant to be watching her? " he hissed.

you're a little taken aback and say, "Well, I was on the playground, but I can't be everywhere all at once, you know that"

matty immediately jumps down your throat and says, "It's your job to keep her safe, and look what's happened? just- go away. I'm taking her to a&e now." he sighs angrily and scoffs at the tears brewing in your eyes and walks off.

as soon as the door clicks shut, you start sobbing, sitting down on the chair with your head in your hands. I'm talking like full snot bubbles aggressive crying.

hurting Annie is your worst fucking nightmare, and you felt guilty enough before matty came in here acting like a dick. you try to be mad at him but you can't help but just blame yourself.

it was your fault she fell. it was your fault she's hurt. you're to blame.

cut to hours later, Annie has a new cast and a lollypop in her mouth and quite honestly couldn't be happier. she got to choose the colour (stereotypical pink but she loves it) and all the staff signed it. she got a sticker and her favourite flavour of Lolly, as well as lots of fuss from everyone, so she's pretty chuffed.

she's looking forward to going to school tomorrow and getting everyone to sign her cast and ask lots of questions, "Did it hurt really bad???"No, but that's because my daddy says I'm really brave, so it would probably hurt you"

(she was crying for a good 45 mins from the pain, but he lets her live in delusion)

and once Annie is asleep in bed and matty is sat on the sofa left with only his own thoughts, he realises he was a fucking dick.

he says, "fuck" out loud and hangs his head down, he wants nothing more than to call you but he knows he should wait until he sees you in person. you haven't moved in yet, but you've been together a while so he could just go over to your place and beg for an apology but he can't bring himself to do it.

him and annie show up early to school. He leaves Annie in the library, showing all the librarians her cast and recounting her story. he sneaks off to your room to apologise.

he walks in, you look up and roll your eyes before going back to your work. overnight, you had gone from guilty to pissed off.

matty knew how much you love Annie, and yet he still treated you like you had personally thrown her off the swing.

"Look, I deserve that, I know. I was a dick yesterday, and I'm so sorry. " matty sighs as he walks over and leans on your desk beside you on your chair. you spin around with your arms cross and nod for him to contuine.

"Please forgive me, baby. I'm so sorry. seeing Annie hurt just broke my heart, and"

"And it didn't break mine? God matty you're such a fucking dick. you know I love her."

he waited for you to scream and shout more, just take it out on him, but you stay silent and stare.

matty was stressing out at your silence, so he did what he did best when stressed. He rambled.

"Please, you have to accept my apology. I've been killing myself the whole night. the way I spoke to you was just- awful. inexcusable. I know you love her, I love her too. and I love you so much. but the whole situation got on top of me and-" matty stopped when he felt your hand on his arm, and he finally had the guts to look you in your eyes and he once again saw them brimming with tears.

before he could stutter another apology, you stand up and hug him. Whilst he's confused, he just wraps his arms around you and hugs you.

he feels you mumble against him but can't quite make it out, "what was that, sweetheart?"

you pull back and give him a teary but happy smile and say, "I forgive you. and I love you too"

it's only then that matty realises what he said, and the look on his face has you giggling immediately. you bring your hands up and rest them on his cheeks.

"Love you," you say, making his eyes look at yours.

you see them soften before he says, "Love you too."

more blurbs from this au here :)

[puckpocketed]

bonjour, i'm from vancouver but i have the worst sleep schedule ever so with onhockey dot tv by my side i'm abt to get into the aihl. who should i root for

BONSOIR!!! rip sleep schedule . I am a devout CBR Brave blog so, there’s only one answer here <3 some propaganda for you

i have personally met our starting goaltender Aleksi Toivonen and he’s a big sweetie . it was during this year’s off-season in uhhh february? and he was hanging out at our rink getting his reps in. i barely knew about the team back then so when he said he played for them i was like !!! and he let me take a very blurry photo 🫶

we’ve always been kinda good in a way that makes people a bit mad LMAO!!! won our first Goodall Cup 2018? so if you wanna root for the team where everyone’s praying for your downfall… get in here <3

on the topic of always being good; we’re so stacked that when IIHF Worlds is on, our roster gets STRIPPED because we have a lot of Australia’s best players! this year it happened and resulted in . um. a 9 game loss streak? <3 we were DEAD last in the league for a while. but the boys came back and we clawed our way to 2nd place in our conference pretty neatly

despite being so good, our rink is SHIT. i’m so serious. as a local, i’ve been to it and skated on it. god. soft, bewretched, small ice. there’s a fucking TRENCH between the boards and the ice too… like you could lose a small earring down that gap 😭 AND during intermission our zamboni does her best but often we have issues with flooding. smallest ice surface and smallest barn in the AIHL i do believe! this is because there’s been a decades-long power struggle between the owners and the government. (the streets are saying it has also historically been a pretty unfriendly place to the hockey players because the owner’s wife was a figure skater so her and her people always got preferential treatment LMAO) ANYWAY the propaganda part is . we play and practice on this ice and in this shitty old barn and we are still TORCHING the league <3 in a way i feel like we are the scrappy underdogs (we are not. but. we are to ME!!) anyway imagine what we could do with real facilities jskdjshsklff

canberra’s a small world so this team is just a bunch of brothers playing hockey together,, i’m SO serious. we got FOUR kubara brothers !! TWO miettinen brothers. and 2 Yorks !!! GONGEOUS NEPOBABIES..!!!

we just signed Austin Cangelosi and he’s boybestfriends with our guy Jake Ratcliffe and i love seeing them gossip on the ice like two girls at a slumber party. Cangelosi is 5’7 and got 🤏 this close to the NHL during a time where size was absolutely everything. i have the scouting notes from his draft year, and his overage draft years — i think if he’d come up in this era somebody would’ve taken a shot at him in like the 5th-7th round?? but alas. smash cut to now: he’s a small, fast, skilled player and has a relentless motor. if he stays with us next year he probably contends for most points in the league. he’s very good and fun and i louve heem…

i was talking shit about the Brave Cave but i love her so bad. we have new management who i deeply despise on a moral level because they’re a property development/building company, but aside from that they’ve put staff in place to make the vibes of pre/post games SO good. we’re hoping with this acquisition we will finally get the new rink we were promised in uhhhhh 2017. but who CARE!!! right now the capacity in the Cave is about 500, but it is apparently THEE most miserable place to play in as a travelling team. we’re a very rowdy crowd. we don’t boo our guys. we are deeply intimidating down to the last small child in CBR Brave facepaint.

on the topic of vibes: there are a few personalities at the rink who are pretty much fixtures. 1) the Cow Bell Guy; which is what it says on the tin. he brings a cow bell to every game and clangs it whenever something cool happens. when i say every game i mean like. i’ve seen him on monday nights when our beer league teams play godbless. (chatted to him a few times, his kid is a hockey fanatic and an ipad baby LMAO). 2) the Screamer; also what it says on the tin. Legend has it about 15 years ago she discovered hockey in an Autism Way and now she attends every home game and stands in the exact same corner. she heckles the SHIT out of the opposing team and honestly it would be kinda offputting if it was my team she was yelling at but she’s on MY side and so she’s a hero to me <3 i initially thought she was an overenthusiastic WAG or something but. no. she’s just on the hockey freak juice.

anyway. root for MY team. CBR BRAVE BEST TEAM OF ALL TIME EVER EVER EVER AND WE GOING TO THE CUP!!!!!

jokes aside please choose whatever team u like and have fun <3

[venbetta]

Ooo, the headcanons were really cool!! Do you have anymore you'd like to share about Freddy, or perhaps some on Monty?

Indeed I came up some for Monty (I'll do Freddy a little bit later again today, he's very fun to write about).

Montgomery Gator

Monty is probably close to most fanon interpretations that I've seen, which he's mostly an misunderstood, angry, infamous bassist. Unlike Freddy, Faz Ent don't keep him supervised, therefore makes Monty a wandering delinquent through the Pizzaplex.

Compared to his chill disposition in the promotional art, he's close to the completely opposite. He's easy to anger and frustrate, he's not good with socializing with guests like the others (he can handle teens and adults but younger kids are under his radar). His time is mostly spent golfing and at the catwalks, since not many people go into Gator Golf. He doesn't get a lot of attention like the other glamrocks.

At night, its the same case, except he vandalizes parts of the mall and his room to release frustration. The techs and staff are afraid of him, so his maintenance is infrequent and mostly rare; when he's sent to Parts and Service, they always have to shut him down as a safety precaution. And since he's so imposing, he doesn't get punished a lot, making him an absolute menace to his bandmates and staff. When he's not breaking stuff, he's mostly quiet and brooding and playing his bass in the corner.

I think that's what makes him and Freddy foils of each other.

Quick tidbits

Monty's companion would have to be Roxy, since they're both new mascots in the entire Fazbear lineup, and they both have... problems that they definitely vent to each other about. Two broken besties.

Monty enjoys playing bass and drums, drums aren't something he gets to play often but when he does, it feels right for him (think of Gwen in ATSV when she plays drums lol)

He and Freddy have a bit of a rivalry, on Monty's end he just wants what Freddy has; that being attention and fame, Freddy sees Monty more as a nuisance (I might make a seperate post about these two's dynamic hehe).

I know it's messed up but... I love angst. Monty decommissioned Bonnie, it was a mix of Vanny's influence and his own envy

After the events of SB, Monty feels guilty for it, thus resulting in him isolating himself and being angry most of the time. This poor gator doesn't have a single happy joint in his body.

On a lighter note, he and Chica have a friendly rivalry. He doesn't know how to play guitar as well as her, but they like to show off to each other

The only few things he doesn't destroy are his bass and the plush toy version of him

I wanna be funny and imagine he has a plush toy of Freddy that he doesn't necessarily destroy but beats with his fist and talks shit to... (and sometimes cuddles with bc I'm a monteddy shipper, leave me alone)

He's not a fan of being touched that much, and he doesn't try to touch others due to his claws. Man's is touch repressed and touch starved.

I know this a cliche interpretation of Monty, and some of these things feel a little out of order (maybe that's just me). I imagine he gets better after SB and kinda comes out of his isolation and anger over time. Soooo yep, those are my Monty hcs

[l-amplights]

erm. patapon oc info post

no new art here., all stuff ive posted before. so if youre just here for that uhh might wanna skip over this one

also these arent insanely detailed yet im still working on it i just wanted to get a basic bio out for now i want to speak *something* about them :thumbsup:

ok first up uhh

orii :]

he goes by he/him and hes a regular mahopon, he wanted to be a megaton though unfortunately he was too short and lacks a mouth. despite that he taped a horn onto his staff and uses mahopon magic or somethin idk to make it work. he is not the brightest but hes moreso clumsy than anything else. he really admires any megapon or ton or men and may get distracted having a autism moment in the middle of a battle. also he doesnt have actual magic mant/cape vamp, he made this replica himself because it looks cool :>

ok next

Chicken

havent really decided on chickens pronouns yet they havent came to me so ill be using they to refer to chicken for now

anyway, chicken is a Chigyobi Cannogabang or if we pretend patapon 3 doesnt exist. a chigyobi robopon. theyre a gremlin who loves to make things explode. for fun. theyre also smaller than the average patapon but that will not stop their path of destruction. they are very energetic and fast and the kind of guy to go blehhh :P after breaking something :]

okkk next are zigotons

lets start with leitton my newest oc :>

(name pronounced like leit in leitmotif btw)

she goes by he/her and is a megaton and also a zigoton general (they kinda new ones after the events of pata 1 lmao) he takes her job quite seriously but can easily be flustered by compliments

shes quite neutral on the patapons not really seeing them as a enemy, but still keeps an eye out knowing theyve taken down many zigoton forces before

also. he is short. he wears stilts to seem tall.

short queen yippee

ok last one

Glunk.

he/him, yariton, he uses a donkanels fang

dont let his hat fool you, he is not a general or high ranking at all, he just likes this hat. he does want to be a general one day though, and looks up to the current ones a lot. hes not very good at fighting though and its honestly quite incredible hes still alive, though he is quite good at identifying what went wrong/what to improve on, unfortunately though a lot of the time people interprete it moreso as him looking down at them rather than constructive criticism :[ he gets very excited sometimes and someone else needs to take him out of a situation to help him calm down.

uh ok i ran out of things to say now anyway uh all my oc stuff at least rn takes place between pata 2 and 3

[yakuzacanons]

Ahhh that "s/o cheats on the characters" was sad but damn so accurate. You do an amazing job of writing the boys! <3

Wanna turn the sadness up a notch? >:] How would they react to s/o's death? (Or, if you're not comfortable with writing about death, maybe how they would react to s/o getting seriously injured.)

I live for the angst!!

Angst hours fr fr, I'm gonna spin it as reacting to an s/o being seriously injured as I wouldn't wanna put the boys through any more deaths than they already deal with. Headcanons below da cut and thanks again for waiting!

Kazuma Kiryu

He's doing his best not to just flip a table over, honestly. Kiryu tries really hard to not fit that yakuza stereotype of unleashing physical anger when he's upset, but he is REALLY upset by the news.

Once the initial reaction of anger cools, Kiryu just feels lost. There are few things he values more than his loved ones and even if you're safe in a hospital and in stable condition, he won't stop worrying about you.

Blames himself for not being there for you. Will sit silently in a chair in your hospital room, head in his hands, just kicking himself. When you wake up, he honestly might cry.

Majima Goro

Immediately starts freaking out. What happened? Who was involved? Whose ass does he need to kick? He'll immediately drop everything and be on his way to wherever you are, probably with all of the Majima Family in tow just in case a fight breaks out.

If police or hospital staff get involved before he does, he will demand answers to his questions. He won't rest until he finds out exactly what went down. He seems irrational during all of this but in actuality he's trying to rationalize everything in his head. He's wondering if something could've been done to prevent this.

Paces outside your hospital door like a watchdog. When you wake up, he'll practically leap to your side, taking your hands into his gloved hands, happily crying out about how glad he is to see you.

Saejima Taiga

The most level headed boy, honestly. When he hears the news, he will be on his way to you immediately, silent and focused. He has his own questions he wants answered but his priority is to make sure you're safe and in a place where you can recover.

Brings you meals in the hospital and even feeds you if your injuries are that serious. Helps you bathe and brings you fresh clothes from home. Always wait until you fall asleep before he does.

It's only when you're healthy enough to start caring for yourself more that he starts investigating what happened and starts to look for answers. He thinks it would be too risky to do so while you're in recovery, as he fears something bad will happen again if he leaves your side to selfishly pursue his own questions.

Akiyama Shun

He's just in shock. Unlike most of the boys, Akiyama is just a civilian so he honestly didn't think much of anything bad would happen to either of you. If he's at work when he gets the news, he'll tell Hana to hold down the office and take care of business while he throws his coat on and rushes out the door.

Very respectful to hospital staff. He knows freaking out won't help anyone, although he is still freaking out internally. Likely won't be able to sleep or eat much the first night after hearing the news.

Will absolutely bring you flowers. Perhaps TOO many flowers. He just wants you to wake up feeling safe and loved. Will also have Hana order you any food you desire for delivery.

Tanimura Masayoshi

He's furious he wasn't able to protect you. His police coworkers will honestly have to hold him back from rushing the scene. They know if he saw the condition you were in, he would just burst into tears. Secretly, he knows that too, but he also wants nothing more than to be by your side as soon as he can.

If your injuries were in any way not accidental, you can bet that Tanimura will pull any strings he can at work to make sure he can get to the bottom of whatever happened. Won't rest until he knows you are definitely and entirely safe from harm.

Will totally bring his own blanket, pillow, and toothbrush to the hospital. He's very much like "I'm staying right here!" in your room. Very much your own personal bodyguard during your hospital stay.

Ryuji Goda

Immediately in his private car and on his way to the hospital. Very organized and has some men out looking for answers and a couple of men guarding your room, just in case. Will spend the most to make sure you get the very best treatment.

Chances are, Ryuji's thinking someone did this to get to him and if that ends up being true, revenge is definitely on his mind. However, he will wait to act on it until he knows the full details of what happens and until he knows you're in stable condition.

Brings you lots of soups and teas. Totally believes that warm drinks and warm meals will heal you just as well as modern medicine will. Type of guy to tell you stories until you fall asleep.

Nishikiyama Akira

He is a total and complete mess. A wreck, really. He's not taking the news well at all and is not even trying to hide it at this point. After what he went through with his sister, he can't even begin to fathom the possibility of going through the same thing again with you.

Frantic as hell and honestly is just having a full blown anxiety attack until he knows you're in the clear and will recover. Will absolutely burst into tears when he gets this news and is so happy to know he won't lose you.

Also will cry when he first sees you wake up and might hug you a bit too tight, but it's just because he's genuinely so glad that you're okay. He's also the least likely of the boys to care about revenge or getting answers right away, he just wants you to be safe.

Mine Yoshitaka

He's freaking out about the same amount as Nishiki except he is trying VERY hard to keep it internal. His logical nature means he's going to try to rationalize the panic he's feeling. However, he will absolutely air out his feelings on his punching bag at home.

The most patient boy. If you're in surgery for hours on end, he'll wait in the waiting room without moving. If you're asleep in your hospital room, he's right there with you, nodding off in a chair. Refuses to leave your side.

Puts all of his work on hold until he knows you're awake and safely recovering. His secretary will try to gently push him to call people back only for him to just turn his phone off. Work can wait.

Daigo Dojima

Blames himself more than anything. He's always felt in his gut that his lifestyle and work would one day gets his loved ones hurt. He can only hope this was an accident and that you didn't get put in harm's way simply by being with him. He ultimately feels selfish and like he wasn't good enough to protect you.

If your injuries were intentionally caused by someone looking to harm Daigo, he has the whole Tojo Clan on the case. Meanwhile, he'll personally see to it that you get the best care, the best room in the hospital, the works.

Once you're well enough to go home, he's practically your maid. Will do anything for you and get you anything you need. For a while, he probably will refuse to let you go anywhere without him because he fears something bad will happen if he's gone.

Tatsuo Shinada

A blubbering mess. He's just some writer who used to be a baseball player, why the hell would anything like THIS ever happen to someone like him? He has no idea what to do except sit in the hospital room and wait nervously, probably bouncing his leg or biting his nails.

Bursts into tears the first time he sees how bad your injuries on. It isn't that he finds you disgusting or anything like that, he's just so heartbroken to see you in so much pain. He honestly won't be able to speak for the first few hours once the news breaks.

Type of guy to hold your hand while you're laying in your hospital bed. Will totally fall asleep sitting in a chair with his hand still in yours, his head resting against the edge of your bed. Brings his laptop on his hospital visits so he can work while in the room with you so he can pay your hospital bills as best as he can.

BY CLICKING KEEP READING YOU UNDERSTAND THE TRIGGERING CONTENT THAT MIGHT BE AHEAD

Your winter break comes and goes and you watch the time hit midnight making it the new year and the next morning you are thrust into your Work Studies. You wake up taking a quick shower and getting dressed in your hero costume, with the weather you had your costume modified to handle it. Instead of the costume being sleeveless it now came with a white cropped jacket that had built-in heat and cooling to keep you warm but also modify if you were to become hotter. 

You head outside onto your balcony looking at your phone and you see a text from Hawks “Musutafu, come now.” He also sent his location. Why was he over there if his patrol area was here at Fukuoka and the message was very short? Was he in danger!? You put your phone in your jacket pocket zipping it close, you put in your headphones and glasses before leaping off the building taking off quickly to his location. With worry about your mentor you practically zoom over there, if there were sky police you would be pulled over for how fast you were going. 

You see more familiar characteristics of Musutafu as you fly past buildings. You see on the roof of one build a pair of red wings hunched over and you land quickly. 

“Hey what’s wrong are you okay?” You ask urgently going towards him. He turns around with the stupid smile he does when he finds something funny, “What’s so funny?” You say confused and he laughs. He laughs at your face almost in tears thinking your worry for him is funny. 

“Haha...Look at your...face you look so scared.” He cries, calming down his laughter and wiping the tears from his eyes, “I got food for us.” He tosses you a wrapped package of milk bread and a canned coffee. 

You catch them with ease, giving him a glare before sitting down next to him, your legs dangling over the ledge of the building. You eat your food quietly, opening up your coffee you take a sip already feeling the caffeine hit you. It is quiet between you two as you look out at the city and you turn and see him reading and you look away. Wait reading, you snap your gaze back on him. 

This man hasn't read in his life, looking at the cover you see the title ‘Meta Liberation War’. 

“Isn’t that book just full of propaganda for how the author tried proving his terrorist acts?” You question curious of all books this is the one Hawks would read. 

He shrugs flipping a page, “Yeah but some people still believe in it, just wanna see what the people find so interesting in it.” He smiled at you but with how focused he was reading before it seems almost as if he was hiding something about it. You perk up when in the distance you hear screams and car alarms going off. “Oh dear...such bad timing.” Hawks sighs putting the book away and you both turn towards the sound. 

Hawks take off with you following closely after, following the destruction of missing windows and turned-over cars you see heroes already helping with the evacuation. You see Hawks turn sharply down the street and coming out of an alleyway, Starservant, a villain that can manipulate glass and close behind Endeavor. You're surprised to see that before Endeavor could get attacked by three other men you see a sheet of ice coming from Todoroki as well as Bakugo and Midoriya about to strike the villains. However, before the two boys could Hawks shot his feathers out swooping right by stopping them before they could. 

“Huh? Oh work-study students?” Hawks says looking at the two boys as he flies past them, “Sorry, I was just a little faster.” You roll your eyes at his behavior. God, what a showoff. He quickly disarms the men pinning them to the ground as he lands next to Todoroki and you land next to the villains as well, already contacting nearby heroes and police. “I thought Endeavor was in trouble.” Hawks says looking over at the flame hero. 

“Did it look like I was in trouble?” Endeavor glares at Hawks while tying up Starservant. 

“It did, didn’t it? Shoto.” Hawks smirks, turning over to the dual hair student. 

“Sure..” Todoroki says. 

“I thought I told you to let me know when you were coming.” Endeavor says looking at your mentor. 

Hawks shrug, “Well, we just happened to be in the area. Right, Halo.” He calls out to you and you glare at him, not in the mood for his cocky attitude as you talk on the phone with the police. You see Bakugo glaring at Hawks for stealing his win and Midoriya is smiling at you giving you a quick wave which you nod in return. You all leave the small street where the police and heroes easily find you all, and Starservant and his group are quickly arrested. You watch as the police take them away and you hear Hawks coming over towards you all. 

Midoriya turns around his face getting all excited, “N-nice to meet you. I’m in U.A. High’s hero course, Class 1-A. My name is Izuku Midoriya!” Hawks glances at you knowing this is the guy you hang out with all the time, before looking back at Midoriya with a smirk. 

“I know. You’re the kid who destroyed his fingers.” Midoriya looks surprised that Hawks knows him. “I’ve heard about you from Tsukuyomi. Man, I wanted to work with him again, too. I’ve also heard maaaanny things about you from my little chickadee.” He grins looking over at you and your face is bright red from the stupid nicknames he calls you. 

“Why is L/n here with you? Where's Tokoyami as well? Isn’t he continuing his work-study at Hawks Agency?” Midoriya was confused about why one of his work-study students was with him but not the other. 

“He’s working back home with my sidekicks. This one’s here due to breakfast. I’m too busy, so I feel bad.” He rubs the back of his neck. 

“Yeah after scaring me half to death.” You mumble and he turns over to you, “Huh is that my dearest student, saying she cares for me?” He smiles and your glare deepens. 

“Fat chance you overgrown pigeon.” You hear Midoriya stifle a laugh not wanting to offend the number two hero. 

“Earlier, I was faster than you.” You hear Bakugo say glaring at Hawks. 

“I wonder about that.” Hawks teases the blonde. 

Endeavor comes over ending Hawks prodding, “Well, What do you want, Hawks?” 

“I don’t want anything, but Endeavor,” He takes out the book from earlier showing it to him, “Have you read this book? 

“What about it?” Endeavor says wanting to get to the point. 

“Well, you know, it’s gotten really popular recently. It’s from a long time ago, but it has predictions about the present. ‘If you give freedom to a limited number of people, then the negative consequences will go to the others.’ ” He flips through the pages quoting an excerpt from it before slamming it shut. “If you don’t have time to read it all, I’ve highlighted some parts for you. So you can read those parts. The leader of the Meta Liberation Army, Destro, ultimately wanted, you know. A society completed by personal responsibility! It goes with the times!” He smiles talking about the book and you feel slightly uneasy at the fascination he has as he talks about it. 

The slight glow in his eyes as he talks about it. He says it was just old propaganda but now he’s telling Endeavor all the highlights and thought he put in. Was he really that interested in the Meta Liberation Army, even though he told you he wasn’t, would he lie to you for your own sake? 

“What are you saying?” Endeavor says confused. 

“If it comes to fruition, then we’ll have time on our hands.” He says holding out the book to the hero. As you watch the interaction between the two you notice his face is more serious now than before almost as if he’s trying to pressure him to take it, you’ve never seen Hawks this serious about something before and it made you nervous. 

Hawks places the book in Endeavor’s hand still giving him that look, “Please make sure you read it.” 

“The book the number two hero is pushing! I should read it, too. Maybe the secret to his speed is hidden in it!” Midoriya says all focus and you slap your hand against your forehead, this kid is so bright but also so dumb. 

Hawks stiffens before turning to the four of you, holding three books in his hand with a smile on his face, “I brought these just for someone like you!” 

“So prepared! Where did they come from” Midoriya exclaims. 

“That’s right! It’s the age of the Number Two! If you’ve got speed,” He zips over quickly, giving a book to the three boys and then back to where he was standing before, “I think the power to predict what’s coming ahead goes with it!” 

“He’s even too fast at passing them out!” Midoriya is in awe of your mentor. 

“You really love this book, huh? To have so many copies...” Todoroki says, looking up at him. 

“I think it’s so he can spread the word about it.” Midoriya turns to Todoroki. 

“That’s right! I’ve been recommending it to all my friends and all the heroes across the country. I think there will at least be the groundwork for liberation ideology.” He says, opening his wings, and getting ready to leave. “You should look over at the parts that were highlighted. I recommend the second part.” He says looking back at Endeavor. 

You get ready to leave with him when you feel your blood run ice cold. Across the street amongst the crowd was him, he seems to be watching the whole interaction from afar, but his focus was on you. He lifts his hand making the signal of a phone and it went off at that moment. Pulling your phone out you see a message from an Unknown number, 

“Phone call in ten minutes, you better pick up.” 

This was the first threat you have received in all the texts you got. You look across the street again only to find him gone, and a hand snaps in front of your face. 

“Hey, chickadee ready?” Hawks gives you a look, and he is looking over your face at your sudden pale expression. 

“Yeah you go on ahead I have to make a phone call.” You say lying through your teeth, hoping the very skilled hero would believe you, “It’s for the commission.” He seems to look deep into your soul before nodding and stepping away. 

“I’ll see you later.” He says and you nod quickly feeling your hands sweat as you clutch your phone in one hand. He flies up a bit before turning towards the five of you, looking at Endeavor's group. “Do your best with the work studies all four of you!” He gives you one last glance before flying off. 

“Even though he’s still young, what he looks at is completely different from us. He’s only twenty-two!” Midoriya says as he watches him fly off. 

“Only six years older, huh?” Todoroki says. 

“You must be lucky to have him as a mentor huh, L/n.” Midoriya looks over at you and you give him a brief nod, hoping you could leave faster in fear of what would happen if you don’t answer in time. 

“He’s annoying!” Bakugo spats. 

“I should head off now, got patrols to do back home and all. Great seeing you guys.” You say giving very fast farewells before turning to leave. 

“Yeah, that’s right.” Endeavor says to himself flipping through the pages, before turning to you. “Halo.” He calls out to you and you freeze just wanting to leave, go how long has it been yet? You turn around to face the flame hero. 

“Yes, sir?” 

“You would know if anything was different about Hawks?” He asks and you nod, “Probably I’ve known him basically all my life.” You say and you feel your phone buzz again. 

“Five minutes left, don’t keep me waiting.” Included was a picture of you back towards the camera. 

“I’m sorry Endeavor sir, I really must be going.” You say and he seems to stare at you and unknown to you he can see the fear and worry in your eyes, which makes him question both you and Hawks. He nods and you bow slightly before waving goodbye quickly to your classmates, practically booking it out of there. You take off quickly from the street, some feathers being left behind on how fast you flew, and you fly for a bit before landing on a rooftop that has no doors leading up just leaving you up there. You glance at your phone feeling hours tick by before your phone goes off a call from Unknown. 

You don’t want to answer but know better otherwise bring the phone up to your ear. 

“Hello..” You whisper and you hear a deep chuckle come from the other end making you completely frozen in your spot. 

“Gosh you know how refreshing it is to hear your voice again.” He says and you wrap your wings around yourself feeling like his eyes are on you. 

“What do you want?” You say trying to keep level-headed and not show your fears to him. 

“Many things in this world darling, money, fame, power, but right now I’ll settle for you.” You shiver you can almost picture him smirking on the other end of the line.  

“I’ll go to the police, they will find you.” You say and he laughs, 

“You go right ahead and see how that turns out. Your friends at U.A. you wouldn’t want them getting hurt, would you? Especially that boy that seems so fond of you. Really it killed me watching you with him, but I was able to satisfy myself that guy at the arcade you race him remember?” He asks and you remember he was so sure of winning going as far as pulling your wings in an attempt to make you lose. “God you should have seen his face begging for his life, but he touched something that didn’t belong to him. He won’t hurt you now.” 

You feel your throat close up at the realization of what he says. He had killed someone just because they touched you, he was dead because of you. 

“Now if you don’t want that happening to your friends or that mentor of yours, you both are awfully close you’re going to listen to what I say. You won’t go to the police, ever. If I find out you did, I'll kill everyone then you. When I call you, you pick up, when I message you, you answer it. Understand.” He says his voice like a noose getting tighter around your neck with his words almost killing you. 

“Who are you?” Your voice is weak and you feel tears start to cloud your eyes not spilling over. 

You hear him let out a small laugh and it’s like he’s right against your ear, “Your worst nightmare darling. See you around songbird.” And with the line goes dead.  

Your legs are shaky and you feel the bile rise in your throat and you rush towards a secluded area of the roof and empty your stomach. There wasn’t much except the small breakfast you had as you cough the rest out. You get up on shaky legs putting your phone away, you manage to get home, on your weak stomach and the dark thoughts circling you. 

You get on your balcony quickly getting inside, locking the door behind you, closing every blind blocking the outside view inside your home. You collapse onto your couch looking around your home feeling yourself slowly go crazy. What if he was in here, waiting for you to come home and take you away!? You feel yourself getting hot and you struggle to get your jacket off feeling like it was suffocating you, feeling your whole costume choking you. You rush to your bathroom stripping your costume off you leaving you in your sports bra and the spandex shorts underneath. Resting your hands on your sink you look into the mirror, your face is pale, your hair all crazy from the wind, and the scars littering your body seem to pop out more with your drained complexion. 

You drag yourself out of the bathroom into your room closing the door behind you. You felt as if his eyes were still watching you and you were too exposed. You lock your bedroom door as well as push your dresser in front of it as another defense. You collapse on your bed, feeling exhausted from your empty stomach and you felt physically sick. You lay in your bed allowing your thoughts to take over and drown you until you fell asleep trapping you instead of dreams but nightmares. 

At Endeavor’s Agency, Endeavor scans through the book trying to find any information in the book. It doesn’t make sense. He thinks back on times when he and Hawks had any conversation about the future and compares it to the recent one. It’s too different from back then. It was like he was saying the complete opposite now. Bragging with a smile on his face as he said what he really thought. In front of him, at least, Hawks always seemed like he was joking. He continues to turn through the pages hoping to find an answer. The complete opposite. Look over the highlighted parts, especially the second part. That was an unnatural way of speaking he thought looking over at the highlights in the pages. There’s something he can’t say, but even so, Hawks is trying to tell him… ‘The Second Part’... Looking at the phrases in front of him each section means something different and makes no sense in a code of something. That was until it hit him, his eyes widen as he focuses on the pages in front of him 

“The enemy is..” The second word! The second words from each highlighted part… “The enemy is the liberation” ..are connected! Each phrase builds him the sentences he needs as he unfolds the clue by flipping through the pages. “The enemy..is the liberation army. They number...over a hundred thousand. In four months… to action.” Endeavor is in shock over the information. There were more pages to look over and he continues to decipher the ending. “Before that.. I’ll send a signal.” Is he secretly investigating the enemy? ”In case of...failure..more manpower…” That is when he thinks back to the meeting he had with the president of the Hero Commission. Getting the Work Studies back up to have the students have more experience with villains. Looking through the book there was more, “The halo..is watched by the...league. Flames will swallow...her whole..must protect.” He seems confused by the statement. ‘The halo?’ Was a halo, a symbol or code of the liberation. Then it hits him that girl, her name was Halo. If the league was watching her, it meant for a reason. Is she used as leverage against Hawks as she is his protege? Flames will swallow her whole, there is only one fire-quirk user that is part of the league, and if this girl is a key in all of this. He will do everything in his power to keep this girl safe. 

Hawks back at the Paranormal Liberation Front worry if Endeavor was able to decipher the message he sent him. He knew somehow they would use you against him as a way to keep him in place, but he needed to make sure the Number One knew as a way to protect the people as well as protect you. 

“It’s Izuku!” Toga cries out excited to see a photo of him during the battle against Starservant. 

“From what I saw, they haven’t grown much.” Dabi says to him looking over the photo. 

“They are just students.” Hawks smiles, they were truly underestimating them.  

“Well, except that one girl, she’s crazy strong. She’s a bore.” Twice says complimenting her before quickly insulting the girl. 

“Ah yes, she has quite a fighting spirit. Halo was it? She seems to have plenty of potential.” Dabi says swiping to see another photo, it was you on the phone with the police. You were facing the camera slightly as you looked somewhere else. Hawks felt his jaw tick, and he held his tongue not wanting to make matters worse.  

“She’s still learning.” Hawks grits out his eyes sharp as he glares at Dabi who wears a smirk on his face. Dabi knew he was walking on thin ice mentioning you but he couldn’t do anything against him knowing that she was a weakness to him. When those four months come and spring does arrive, he hopes you all will be smiling after. 

When you woke, you were covered in sweat and you felt weak while moving your body. You push your dresser a bit away from your door allowing you to unlock it and slide out. You head to the bathroom seeing your costume still on the ground as you take a shower hoping the cool water would wake you up more and try to wash the sick feeling off you. Getting out and brushing your hair and fixing your wings, combing through fixing bent feathers, or taking any loose ones out. Getting dressed in your hero costume, looking in the mirror you see dark circles under your eyes despite being asleep for the entire day yesterday. You head downstairs towards where Hawks’ sidekicks were. 

You see Tokoyami already dressed in his hero costume as he listens to what one of Hawks’ sidekicks says. Going over to a table you give your ID and they give you a commlink connecting you to the agency to listen to any calls you might get. 

“Good morning Tokoyami, how are you enjoying your work-study?” You greet him and he nods. 

“While I haven’t been able to see Hawks I’m still able to train more and get more experience in hero work. Do you go on a different shift with other sidekicks? I saw you weren’t with us during patrol.” 

You nod. “Yeah usually I’m with Hawks if we go out but because he’s been busy I go out by myself, it’s easy for me to work. I’ve been doing it since I came here and working with the commission.” You explain and he greets you. An alarm went off making everyone get ready for the call. 

“Hit and run off 83rd street for Tsukuyomi. Halo robbery at a bakery on West Street.” Someone calls out and everyone gets going. 

You turn back to Tokoyami, “Be safe out there.” You say and he nods. “You as well.” 

You slide on your glasses putting on your headphones before heading towards the open doors and taking off to go help. Your day so far has been quite uneventful, as you complete more work doing your job as a hero in training. You knew that the section you were watching over just got a shift of heroes coming in and you decide to indulge yourself just flying around as no calls came in. 

You continue to fly, not even realizing how far you had flown until you saw you were back at Musutafu. You land down walking through the city no one taking mind of you, used to heroes showing up most times. As you walk up ahead of you at the busy intersection, you see a lady walking across the street with her child, the child drops their toy and they rush back to grab it just as a truck is hurtling down the street. You run into the street taking your staff from your belt as it extends, chucking it to where the truck would be as you use your wings to pick up your speed you grab the child shielding them with your wings when the truck hits your staff embedded into the street. 

You wince slightly when some pieces of metal hit you but you're protected by your hardened wings. Looking behind you to see that the truck had stopped and the hood and bumper were extremely dented curving slightly around the staff in the ground. You feel a large amount of heat landing next to you and you turn and see it was Endeavor seconds too late after you. Looking at the girl in your arms she opens her eyes, seeing she was okay. Putting the kid down you hand her the toy she was trying to pick up. 

“You okay kid?” You ask and she nods and she is quickly scooped up by her mother who was crying holding her thanking you profusely. You nod as the driver of the truck comes over and gets on his hands and knees apologizing a bunch to the woman. You pull out your phone already contacting the police about the incident, before putting it away. 

“Seems you were able to be there just in time.” Endeavor says in what you think is his way of thanking you, and you nod going over to the truck grabbing the staff from the ground, and pulling it out. You see that most people on the street stopped seeing what happened and there they all were with their phones out filming the entire interaction. You hated that when things went wrong or someone was in trouble everyone pulls out their phone to record hoping to get the next viral video instead of helping. 

“Sorry to steal your spotlight Endeavor.” You say getting ready to leave when he stops you. 

“I assume Hawks will be following behind you any minute?” He questions ready for the other winged hero to show up and practically smother you with compliments and praise telling you how you're growing up and him being so proud of you. 

“Nope he’s off doing his own thing, I was just out on patrol and ended up over here without noticing.” You explain and you now see your classmates behind him, Bakugo was looking at you jealous that you were doing more hero work than him, Todoroki didn’t have many emotions to show which was normal, and Midoriya was in complete awe of you. How you didn’t even hesitate in saving that girl, the skill and raw power you had to do all that and tell the Number One hero that you, a first-year student, were just patrolling on their own cause they could. 

“The police should be here soon to deal with the rest of this.” You say looking at your phone and seeing a message sent from him. 

“Nice save songbird.” You still looking around the area could he be here right now, you could get him and all your problems would be solved. You hate that you have to respond to him knowing it was just what he wants in holding power over you.  

“Thanks.” Short and simple. 

You clutch your phone in your hand almost about to break it, not realizing Endeavor watches the entire interaction, though he didn’t see who was messaging you he had a pretty good idea that it might be the league. 

“Everything alright Halo?” He asks, trying to see if you might reveal anything to him. You nod though you wished you could tell him what was wrong. 

“Everything is alright. I do have to go though.” You say pushing your glasses on you, you didn’t want to worry him about your problems if you comply no one gets hurt that's all you had to do. You don’t even acknowledge your classmates flying off and heading back to Fukuoka to get back to patrolling. 

Your work studies went by you went on a few patrols with Tokoyami giving him tips when he uses Dark Shadow to fly and other things about his quirk. You haven’t seen Hawks since the day with Starservant which makes you worry a bit but he’ll send you a text sometimes asking about your day or to show you this crazy thing he saw. And with that, your work studies were over and you were back in school. You walk to class putting away your glasses and headphones, you see your classmates entering as Iida very energetically greets each classmate. 

“Ah L/n it is great seeing you!” He chops his hand in the air and you nod entering going over to your desk. Putting your bag down you scroll through your phone looking at any news involving Hawks with him being M.I.A. 

You see you receive a message and your decent morning is ruined by a message from him, “I’m disappointed I won’t see you more now that you're in school.” You feel disgusted but slightly relieved that he can’t watch you now that you were at U.A. Iida and Momo stand at the front of the class as the bell signals the start of homeroom. 

“An auspicious New Year to you all! In today’s class, we’ll be giving status reports. We will share what we learned, accomplished, and experienced over winter break.” Iida explains to the class. “Everyone, please suit up and report to ground Alpha!” Iida was very lively and he usually had a serious stickler attitude. 

The door slams open and it’s Mr. Aizawa holding a sleeping bag “Alright wrap it up-” Mina rushes out the door holding her case. 

“Happy New Year, Mr. Aizawa!” Everyone grabs their hero costumes and you head to the changing rooms. In the locker rooms, you all get dressed into your costumes.  

“Is that a new costume, Ochaco? It looks great on you!” Hagakure compliments the brunette who smiles. 

“Really think so? Thanks!” You pull on your jacket stretching your wings fixing the crooked feathers. 

“Y/n I saw online you did a lot during your work studies, there’s this video going viral.” Mina says to you and you turn around to face her. 

“I saw it too, you were so cool saving that kid.” Uraraka says and you nod. 

“Just getting the experience as Iida said.” You say and you finish zipping your boots.  

“Hey Y/n I believe you dropped this. “ Momo hands you the bracelet that Midoriya got you and out of the corner of your eye you see Mina give you a smirk, her eyes full of mischief. 

“Is that from who I think it is?” She says, grabbing your arm and taking a better look at the bracelet. 

“It’s not that big of a deal Mina, it's just a gift.” You say slipping your bracelet on your wrist tightening it so it doesn’t fall off. Mina gives you a smile bouncing up and down in excitement. 

Now outside you all head to Ground Alpha, you are walking between Mina and Kaminari. “I’m just saying if you gave me some of your feathers do you think I would be able to fly?” Kaminari says and you weren’t sure how you were entertaining this conversation. 

“Kaminari my feathers are useless when they are removed, so you won’t be able to fly.” You say and he pouts at his now flightless future, “Will you take me flying.” He says with such excitement you really couldn’t refuse to nod and he did a little dance all excited. 

“Symbol..of...Sweets!” You hear All Might say very dramatically and there he was holding a cotton candy machine, everyone was confused or didn’t understand the joke he was trying to make; that being you and Todoroki. 

“Huh? Where’s Mr. Aizawa?” Someone says and All Might deflate and is upset his joke didn’t work. 

“Hey guys. C’mon, I put all my might into this gag. Get it cause I’m called ‘The Symbol of Peace’?” No one says anything and he put the candy machine down, “Anyhow, Aizawa was just called away on urgent business.” 

Each group and the agency they went with showed off the skills they learned while fighting the U.A. Villain Bots. Aoyama, Hagakure, and Mina worked under the No. 9 Pro Hero Yoroi Musha, coming up with new plans and combos to keep up in battle. Ojiro and Sato worked with the No. 13 Pro Hero Shishido, showing off their attacking speed and predictive abilities. Jiro and Shoji worked with the No. 12 Pro Hero Gang Orca, showing off their enhanced search techniques. Kaminari, Sero, and Mineta worked under the No. 23 Hero Mt. Lady and her team The Lurkers showing off their teamwork and group moves. Iida worked with the No. 222 Hero Manual, showing off a looser approach to battle. Koda showed off his improved communication skills while working under the No. 8 Hero Wash. Both you and Tokoyami showed off your skills against the robots, taking them quickly with your quirk and fighting style and Tokoyami’s Dark Shadow. While Hawks was there to mentor you both increased in skills and raw power while there. Kirishima returned to the No. 58 Hero Fat Gum’s agency, showing his improved skill in making villains lose their will to fight. Uraraka and Asui returned as well, to work with the No. 10 Hero Ryukyu both showing improved determination. Momo worked under the Pro Hero Majestic showing her improved predictive abilities and her skill to act efficiently. Finally, Bakugo, Todoroki, and Midoriya showed off what they were working on under Number One, Endeavor. Bakugo and Todoroki show an increased skill in their quirks through power and speed while Midoriya has improved control over Blackwhip. 

You remember during your training together after school, that you both worked together to help with getting his quirk to work, and simple things such as pulling over water bottles. It made your heart swell with pride seeing how far he can go with his quirk. The three boys came over back to the class and they were bombarded with compliments. 

You see Midoriya looking over at you, “L/n!” He calls out coming over to you, and Mina elbows you in the gut making you give her a look. 

“I wanted to thank you for helping with my quirk and giving me the confidence that I need.” He bowed slightly and you just nod. 

“It’s no problem, both of us are getting stronger, which means we are closer to becoming heroes.” You say and he nods. 

“One step at a time.” He says holding his fist up and you're confused at the gesture. “You hit my fist with yours, it's a fist bump.” He says and you bring your fist up bumping it with his and he smiles which makes you smile as well. 

“Okayyy. It seems you’ve all learned a lot, out in the world,” All Might says, clapping his hands together bringing attention to himself, “I’ve recorded class today so Aizawa can watch it later! Keep giving your all during your work studies! Aiming ever higher.” He says and you all went on to continue school. When school had ended you thought you were going to get a call from the Commission needing you for training or just to bother you but they’ve been radio silent since the beginning of your work studies. 

“Hey Y/n!” Mina calls out to you coming over followed by Kirishima, seeing you standing by the front gates of the campus, “We’re throwing a Hot pot party for the class, wanna come?” 

You look back at your phone before putting it away, “Yeah sure.” Mina cheers, looping an arm with yours as the three of you make your way back to the dorms. You were helping Mina bring food to the table, you had taken off your school jacket, leaving you in the button-down shirt and your skirt. You see both Bakugo and Midoriya coming in, Sero and Kaminari saying something to them and Bakugo yells at them while Midoriya rushes to help. With everything set up you all dug in ready to soothe your hungry stomach with all this food. 

“Nothing beats a hot pot on a chilly day.” Kirishima says, stuffing his face with meat.  

“Once it’s warm again we'll be second-years.” Jiro says. 

“Before we know it, yeah.” Asui says and Uraraka sighs “What a rush this whole year’s been.” 

Looking at your classmates, they all went through so much while you just joined in. Though you may have more experience in training and working hard, you lacked what they had which was a close-knit bond with each other. Yeah, you would say they are your friends, but they went through much more together. They shared everything with each other making their bond closer while you were stuck holding back from letting them know everything. You could tell them how your parents left you as a child and you were tossed around in foster homes, none of them great times, then being found by the commission and training to meet Hawks. When you would have conversations about your connection to Pro Heroes they always say how lucky you are to know such famous people and your training helped you become the person you are. The commission is your life. They gave you everything now and they used your vulnerability and molded you to become a soldier that they could use. 

“Hey we get to meet the new first-years.” Mina points out. 

“But since the Hero course doesn’t have clubs we won’t interact with them much.” Momo says and Mina sags. 

“A whole new crop of hero hopefuls? Love it!” Iida says, “We still have three months remaining! Don’t forget about the final exams standing in our way!” 

“Cut it out Iida! Your nagging is gonna ruin the food!” Mineta cries out shooting Iida a glare. 

Todoroki looks down at his food confused, “It doesn’t taste any different to me.” and Mineta’s eyes widen as he yells at Todoroki. 

“Listen you! Enough of that overly literal airhead shtick!!” 

Jiro laughs, serving herself, “Panicking about exams, Har-dee-har.” 

“Speak for yourself!” Mineta yells trying to get his point across but everyone just laughs. These past couple of months have gone by quite fast but you wouldn’t change it at all. You hear your phone go off signaling a call before it stops. Placing your food on the table you pull your phone out and your heart drops seeing the multiple messages and calls that you missed all coming from Unknown. All of the missed messages are getting more aggressive, the last one sending a chill down your spine. 

“You’ve got blood on your hands now.” 

Standing up abruptly startling Jiro who sat next to you. 

“Hey, Y/n you okay?” Jiro asks, getting concerned about your facial expression as you keep looking back at your phone. 

“Yeah sorry I forgot I was supposed to call someone for where I was supposed to be.” You apologize, forcing a smile onto your face. Some of your classmates were looking at you concerned about your sudden action. “I’m just going to go call them, I’ll be right back.” 

Jiro nods slowly and you turn walking past your classmates as many of them go back to eating and chatting. When you turn the corner away from their gaze you sprint to a secluded room unaware of one person following after you. Going into the first empty room which was a study area, there were some tables and a small couch in the room. Quickly dialing the number you hold the phone to your ear, your other hand holding your elbow as you pace the room, hoping he would pick up. 

“You really know how to push someone to the edge, you know that.” You hear his voice growl through the other end and you let out the breath of air you didn’t even know you were holding in. 

“Please stop it, I’m sorry.” You feel tears brim your eyes and he laughs. 

“You’re sorry? That’s cute really. You wanna say sorry to the people who are dead because of you.” He spat and you close your eyes hoping this was just a horrible dream and you would wake up. “Come on songbird, you’re really sorry. They were a nice innocent family that didn't do anything wrong to the world.” He says and you let out a choked sob and he laughs at you. 

“Don’t hurt anyone else.” You beg you knew he could do anything he wanted if it meant having a hold over you. 

“Begging really. You’re resorting to that.” He sighs and you look down feeling sick to your stomach, “You have twenty minutes to be at this location. Don’t make me wait.” The call drops, and your phone buzzes again and it's a location in the middle of the city. 

If you left now and hurried you would be able to make it. Wiping the tears from your face you shove your phone leaving the room. As you walk out a hand lands on your shoulder, and you flinch, gripping their wrist twisting it over your shoulder pulling their body over completely flipping them over standing over them holding one hand against their throat the other pulled back in a fist. You see it’s Bakugo who is underneath you gasping from getting the wind knocked out of him. You pull back holding your hand out to pull him up. 

“Bakugo why the hell would you sneak up on me?” You say, pulling him up to his feet. 

“Jeez you’re a superhuman freak, birdbrain.” He insults you, rubbing a hand against his back. 

“I don’t have time for your insults Bakugo, I have to go.” You say leaving when he grabs your wrist. 

“Who were you on the phone with?” He questions you and you pull your wrist away,  

“That’s none of your concern.” Going to leave but he gets in front of you stopping you from moving. 

“It is my concern when I hear you telling someone not to hurt someone.” You froze, he heard your conversation, was he going to tell? 

You push past him, “You didn’t hear shit Bakugo, mind your business.” He grabs your arm pulling you back and you turn around throwing a punch at his face which he blocks. 

He swipes his leg under you and you jump back spinning around kicking him in the chest and sending him back. He rushes at you, his hand letting out small explosions popping when arms wrap around you and you end up far away from Bakugo. You turn and see Midoriya holding you, the green lightning surrounding him disappearing, Kirishima was holding back Bakugo as he struggles in his arms telling him to let him go. 

“Come on what’s all this, why are you two fighting?” Iida says looking at the two of you all of the class over here now. You pull away from Midoriya who frowns and you go over to the couches grabbing your bag and jacket, and slipping on your shoes. 

“I gotta go.” You say and your classmates cry out trying to get you to stop, some of the boys already scolding Bakugo for making you feel like you have to leave.  

Already halfway out the door a hand grabs your wrist and you turn to see it was Midoriya who looks worried, “Hey you can tell me if something is wrong.” He says and you felt yourself feeling bad and ruining the night. 

“I just have something I have to do,” You pull your hand out of his grasp pulling on your glasses and headphones, “Sorry for ruining the party.” You take off into the sky, the wind blowing Midoriya’s hair back as he sees you quickly disappear into the night. You felt as if time was ticking down as you flew, with the fight with Bakugo you were nervous you were going to be late and you didn’t want to picture what would happen. 

Looking at your phone you see you’re right above the location, you head down to the street seeing a crowd as well as red and blue flashing lights that shine against you. The crowd is held back by a strip of police tape as well as some officers as people are yelling questions at them. Getting to the side of the crowd where you saw in the alleyway they were blocking made your stomach churn. There were people placing tarps over a family of four. They were all brutally burned blood everywhere and the light they shine to give them a better view there was one specifically pointed to the wall. 

Written on the wall in what you hoped wasn’t blood, “Too late songbird” 

You felt the dinner rise. You cover your mouth not wanting to throw up in the street. You turn away from it feeling horrified, this was all your fault. If you saw your phone, that family would still be alive happily heading home not dead in an alleyway.  

“Quite a shame really, seemed like a nice family.” You hear someone say as they place their hand on your shoulder. Looking up you are frozen in fear seeing him staring at you, he wore a hoodie shielding his face from most people but the flashing lights gave you a clear view of who was standing next to you. 

“Poor thing isn’t it songbird~” He smirks at your fearful expression. You want to run, run very far and very fast but your feet feel as heavy as cement blocks. “Come on, let's go walk.” He does give you much room to argue, wrapping his arm completely around your shoulder and leading you away from the crowd. 

Your heart beats faster as he turns to an alleyway leading you into it the sound of the passing car and people quiet down as you lead down this path of death. He stops leaning against the wall, he pulls out a cigarette and you see a blue flame come from his finger as it lights. He has a fire-based quirk, this guy knew what he was doing. While your wings are strong and all even stronger when hardened, flames leave you defenseless and at a disadvantage. 

“You look a little tense there, songbird.” He points out taking another drag of the cig blowing the smoke out of his nose. 

“I’m completely at a disadvantage against you, and I don’t know whether you want to kill me.” You say you scan this entire area as you were walking in. It was a dead end. The only way out is from where you came from or up, but he could easily burn your wings so you can’t fly, and even if you try to run he’ll probably be able to catch you or just burn you. 

He chuckles, taking another hit, “Thinking like a hero isn’t going to get you out of this, I’m not gonna hurt you.” He says and you hardly believe him. 

“Why are you doing this to me?” You know it sounds horrible but you rather have someone else be the one of his attention instead of you. 

“Here’s the thing songbird,” He stomps the cig on the ground walking over to you, you take two steps back for his one step. You hit the other wall of the alleyway as he towers over you, you could smell him from how close he was to you, he smells like smoke and burnt leather. The scars littering his body made him look more intimidating with him this close to you. “I’m not doing this cause I’m getting paid or whatever. I’m doing it because I can. Nothing you say or do is going to make me stop. I control every aspect of your life, you probably let yourself die if it meant saving the people you love.” He slams his against the side of your head blue flames coming off his hands and you jump your wings closing to your body. “Beg all you want darling, but I’ll stop when I’m dead or I’ve killed every single person you care for then you. I own you!” He yells and you close your eyes, tears spilling down your face. 

You feel his hand trace your face making you flinch trying to pull away but he grabs your chin making your eyes snap open. His cerulean eyes seem to light with fire as he looks at you. 

He pulls away, turning around and heading to leave the alley, he stops right before the street and turns his head to the side, “I’ll be seeing you real soon songbird.” And then he disappears into the street, fading into the people walking by. The streetlights don't help you find him again. 

Your legs feel weak as you slide down the wall sitting on the floor and you get all choked up. Why is this your life, god you’d rather die than have this pain. You cry in that alleyway for who knows how long lifting your head from your knees your head pounds from your crying. Getting up on shaky legs you see where you stood were two large handprints burned into the brick. You surprised yourself heading home completely exhausted that you collapse on the couch once you walk in.

This was the spark that lit the flame as his aggression grew stronger.

[songofstrawhats]

Okay I just finished reading Alabasta and here are my thoughts!!!

Okay I see why people like Vivi so much, and also why people ship her with Nami, they are extremely cute. Reading about her in fic I was a little like 'idk why people consider her part of the crew so much if she's not with them??' but no I get it now I love her. I'm gonna miss her!!

Usopp!!!! Had so many cool parts!!!!! He's really a very slapstick character and I'm impressed they got him in live action as well as they did even tho I think he was the most changed one. I loved his bit with the hammer, and also the flashback where Nami was getting him to make the climate staff..... where you see him building the hammer before hand!!

Zoro going into a fight like 'cool this'll be a great chance to learn to cut steel' HOW IS HE SO COOL AND ALSO RIDICULOUS and also is this observation haki?? Perhaps???? Idk idk. Also I want an AU where Zoro ate the sword fruit I'm just saying

Chopper is so good and any time any of the crew is interacting with him is so good. Love Zoro scrubbing his fur in the bath!!!!!

Okay so Crocodile is literally just Captain Hook with all the Crocs and the clock shots and the hook, does this make Luffy Peter Pan? Because accurate tbh

Also rip bird guy you were so cool bird guy idk your name but I love your style

Also all their outfits were so cute this arc!!! Esp Luffy!!!!! I wanna draw himmmm

I fucking love the den den mushis and also the running gag with them and Sanji, good stuff. I kept forgetting who was and wasn't with the group so when he called while everyone else was stuck in the cage I was like OH RIGHT lmao

The Supersonic Duck Squad are absolutely not making it into live action but I love them and also their new camel buddy SO MUCH

ALSO shout-out to Smoker omg I now see why people were so excited about the teaser at the end of opla, although I def agree with my sister that 'he is going to invent new kinds of lung cancer' lmao

There is so much more politics than I expected there to be in one piece!!!! The diagrams of where all the different factions were at all the different times were EXTREMELY necessary

okay so I knew from fic that Robin just sort of shows up on the ship and Luffy is like 'yeah sure you can join our crew'. NOT ONE PERSON MENTIONED THE MUTUAL LIFESAVING BEFOREHAND!!!!! SHE SAVED HIM AND HE SAVED HER AND THEIR FATES ARE ALIGNED SHE HAS THROWN IN HER LOT WITH THEIRS!!!! Like idk what her deal is but I'm willing to see where this goes!!!!!

G Gundam meta notes part four, eps 25-29:

"All Fighters Gathered! The Final Battles Begin"

-the Shuffle Alliance being so shrouded in mystery is interesting given that EVERYONE IN UNIVERSE SEEMS TO KNOW THEM or at least that the crests mark top fighters

-blah blah clip show episode mostly but HELLO FUUNSAIKI

-S U P E R  A S I A 

-just in case we forgot this is actually a crapsack world, we get "yeah you can target the cockpit now, yes I know exactly what will happen :)"

-and "unlimited repairs (if you can afford it lol)"

-hold on, is Chibodee left-handed? Or is he just saluting with the left because it feels less Nazi-esque that way? (If this was obvious in his earlier episodes, forgive me; I've never been great with my left and right, especially when I have to flip them. It just sticks out here because he's saluting differently from everyone else.)

"A New Weapon! Erupting God Finger"

-Wong talking with his mouth full is great

-I love that Domon seems to be allergic to hotels

-”no one here has any clue how powerful my Burning Gundam is” INCLUDING YOU, DOMON

-WHY IS MARCELOT THIRTEEN FUCKING FEET TALL

-✴️ wander bug ✴️

-Argo's thumbs up is a thing of beauty

-I wanna know what happened to Hoy and Ming's parents

-ah, the suit-up is much easier in this gundam

-huh, Marcelot took that loss in stride

"Hang on Domon! Triumph of the Restored Faith"

-i love Domon with children

-and Rain referring to said kids as Domon's friends, interesting

-and Domon both believing kids are working with Chandra and being disturbed to distraction over it

-okay this is bizarro-land racist. Is he supposed to be part snake?

-although between him and the last guy, I wonder if it's supposed to imply that some of the colonies have been doing genetic engineering to create super-fighters. It wouldn't be the weirdest or shadiest thing going on in this universe

-Hoy is clearly markedly younger than the rest of the friend group 

-”Mister East”

"Domon Targeted! The Assassin's Staff"

-the announcer swooning over Schwarz

-Hoy, kiddo, there's a pest here and it's the one who kicked a guy in the shin 0.2 seconds after meeting him

-love that, knowing he's dealing with an assassin, Chibodee 1) brings it up real casual with the target, and 2) is ready to BEAT UP SAID ASSASSIN

-”if I can sneak up to him” he says, and then yells

-that was a noble attempt to save him, Chibodee

-Chibs did his research on Kyral, I see

-Neo Nepal is fucked up, but then with some of these countries what else is new

-Sai as training partner is great

-Chibodee, why would you rush in and try to hit this guy? Also, why are you still hanging around there anyway?

-after all these wins by default, you'd think someone would investigate

-that double phallic sword faceoff just screams "I see your schwartz is as big as mine, now let's see how well you use it"

-”then I will SLASH you!”

-I wonder if there's something to be said about ableism in the Gundam Fight - like, clearly Kyral can fight while blind, so they didn't have to toss him aside

-Schwarz’s Moon Tiara saves the day again

-cultural relativism? Chibodee seems hung up on Kyral’s crimes being unforgivable, while Domon and Sai are like “he's moving forward and doing better, good for him”

"Running Away! Sai Saici In Love"

-I guess Neo Denmark is low on money, to not be able to repair the Gundam

-Sai trying to sound cool and mysterious is hysterical

-I wouldn't mind Sai’s canon height so much if Cecile wasn't shorter than him. A teenage girl markedly under 4’4”? With no indication that they're meant to be little people? Even for anime, that's a stretch

-though I wonder if she dresses the way she does to signal that she is, in fact, older than she looks

-Cecile is so frickin noble and good-hearted

-Hans has very twink-or-lesbian vibes

-”elderly men?” Cecile probably assuming a gay couple adopted Sai. Though I guess we don't know what's up with Zuisen and Keiun anyway?

-Domon doesn't know a date when he sees one, or at least that you don't interrupt one

-brb going hyper mode just to trip some guys

-unison speaking is one thing, but synchronized crying is something else

-I wonder what Hans does in the off season

[kopawz]

happy wip wednesday, my dudes.

the funny dream chapter before the big finale chapter <3 they are not behaving for hospital staff at ALL lmao

Walking back over to their table with two cans, Kale saw that Chai had decided to use 808 as a pillow– He had his arms wrapped around her, and his face was buried in her fake fur. She didn’t seem to mind, and purred contentedly.

“Well… If you don’t feel like leaving,” Kale made an attempt at a regular conversation, “What *does* it feel like?” He sat back down, setting the small can of apple juice beside 808 with a light clank.

He was listing off the bizarre dream conditions on a claw, “Because all of these stupid halls, the constant ringing I hear from your room, that repeating sense of musical dread from your busted player… It’s almost scary, in a way–”

He quickly and seamlessly corrects himself, “To you, I suppose.”

“..Not really,” Chai mumbled from his faceplant, "It’s more like *tedious.*"

Cracking open the cool can of ginger ale, “It is, isn’t it?” Kale stuffed his free hand into his face with a groan, “For one, they don’t let you change out of these stupid clothes they give you. Never bothered to get why, it’s pointless.”

“You don’t have to wear that, you know.” He mumbled from his face-plant in a purring 808.

Chai lifted his head at the sound of metal, “It’s my dream, not yours…” His eyes then widened– “Oh–?” His intense look seemed to have lessened.

He picked the can up, and sat up all the way. Having something to drink made Chai feel better. Asking pointless questions made him feel even more so,

“So, uh…” Chai’s tone became less monotonous and sharp once he noticed and obtained the apple juice, “Yeah,”

He snapped a finger at Kale’s faded, pink hospital shirt-gown, “...Why's yours pink?"

“If they’re going to force me to wear these things,” Kale plucked at the collar of his loose shirt, “I’m choosing whatever color I want… They didn’t have red, so clearly this was the next best option.”

A smile snuck onto Chai’s face, “Aw man– they had different colors? Man, I could've had a cooler shirt this whole time…” He glanced up to meet Kale’s tired expression, “...Wanna switch?”

The negative noise that Kale made was worth the stupid question, “Chai, If I wore the size you do, it would be a crop top. That’s not happening.”

“Fair enough… So– you don’t really like hospitals either?” Tilting his head up at him, Chai cracked open the juice he was given, “I figured you wouldn’t really need to go at all, since you’re practically all cybernetics now.”

Kale unnecessarily opened the can by puncturing the top open with a claw, "Astute to notice, but not entirely correct."

"...What?" That first word kind of flew over Chai’s head.

"I had to visit the hospital an asinine of times before I got this new tool of mine; they had to make sure it went off without a hitch.” He knocked against his own chest, clanking against metal beneath the thin cloth.

He grumbled, huffing out a breath that made his messy bang move from his face for a moment, "Letting somebody else handle my designs to fix the initial problem was a shit idea in retrospect. Never let anybody handle your plans but yourself–"

"Woah, woah woahwoah– wait.” Chai waved his hands out, “There was a problem?"

He squinted at Kale, genuinely confused, "I thought you just got that body because you were, like… dissatisfied or– bored, or… whatever it was you said before."

“I was,” He paused, briefly looking at Chai’s perplexed expression, before looking back to his own tired reflection on the back of the soda can, “I was so fed up that these quacks couldn’t figure out why my body hurt all the time,"

Kale shrugged loosley, as if his following solution was normal, "So, I figured I’d just design a new, better one. It was mostly just ideas, at first– but…”

He gestured at himself, metal and all, “I suppose you can clearly see the finished product at this point.”

Chai’s voice was subdued, “Oh– you were hurting…” But he shook it off quickly, taking a sip of his juice, “From what, exactly?”

"Look, I assume Roxanne’s version of the story was easier to digest for you at the time, but–” He lightly twists at the metal wrist connectors on hands that resembled claws,

"I wouldn’t exactly agree with her in saying I got out completely unscathed. My body looked fine- (still does)– but it didn't *feel* like it after that incident."

"I was informed that because I was 'young' and 'healthy', I would be fine after resting. ...Bullshit," Kale's face soured as he brought the cool can of soda to rest against his own forehead, "I clearly couldn't rest–"

"Too many idiots needed my help sorting things out for them. There was too much academic work ahead of me, and connections I had to make for me to just stop– and waste time waiting for things to get better."

Chai hummed as he took a drink, "And you got so pissed that nobody could fix it, so you just…" He scratched his cheek, unsure why that made sense, "Went and did something about it yourself?..."

“Basically.” Kale nodded, continuing with a twinge of resentment, “I still feel it took far too many visits to get it all done,”

He rolled his eyes as if what he said was a mundane occurrence, and not completely bizarre, “But I suppose with a full-body augmentation, it obviously could only have been done in increments.”

“Right…” Chai slowly nodded along as if this meant anything to him, and held onto the juice can with both hands, "Uh-huh… She said you were fine though–?"

"Oh for fuck’s sake– That was a *lie,* Chai. I was obviously lying to her." He made a frustrated noise, clanking down the soda can onto the table.

"I thought it would just go away eventually, but I was–" Kale stopped, realizing he had revealed way too much about himself in such a short amount of time.

The sound of a soft clock ticking seemed a lot louder and closer inside the cafeteria. Maybe that was just the music. The song was definitely halfway over by now. This might all reset, so nothing he really said mattered, but there was still–

808 and Chai tilted their heads up at Kale, grinning with a hand propped to his cheek, "Buuuut… what?"

He frowned, “I may have been wrong, in one aspect," He spoke quickly, "–But that doesn’t mean–”

Whatever Kale was about to say to try and deflect from his vulnerabilities was interrupted by two things:

[...Please don't say not a single thing,]

One, the lyrics had kicked in for the final verse.

Two, a loud, robotic voice rung out into the cafeteria,

A tall HS-P1, a model dedicated to hospital security, pointed accusingly with a large wing at the two men in hospital clothes– "Those're the patients that escaped!"

Another shorter NUR-53 bot scratched their beaked faceplate nervously, "If you two would head on back with us to your rooms, we can resume your care to help you."

[Nothing but words, anyway.]

Chai, Kale, and 808 looked around to find themselves surrounded in the hospital cafeteria by a gaggle of health-care robots fully intent on doing their jobs.

"Uh… Kale?" Chai stood from his seat, "Is this why you said we had to keep moving?" He glanced around at their new company as 808 leapt into her ball form in anticipation to hover beside him.

Any way out seemed blocked off by a posse of professionals.

"Yes, but–" Kale stood from his own seat, glad to be rid of the previous topic.

[Is this just a blind obsession–]

He picked up the chair, planning on using it as a weapon, "It’s a little too late to run now, don't you think?"

"My thoughts exactly." Chai smiled and flicked out his wrist with a pop– "...Wait–" Only to make a disappointed noise when all he grabbed at was air, "...Where's my–?"

"Any weapons you have on you, they take away– Because apparently we're 'a danger to ourselves and others'." Kale scoffed at the words he had heard from nurses prior, "So, you'll just have to use something else."

Looking at the can of juice he still held, Chai mumbled, "Something else… Well, we *are* in a cafeteria… so–!" He reeled his arm back, aiming for one of the bots.

[Or was it destiny?]

"There’s no need to-" *THONK* NUR-53's pleas for a pacifist route were met with a solid can to the faceplate. The hit was so impactful that the poor bot fizzled with electricity and exploded.

808 grew excited at the idea of a food fight, and un-balled to leap from table to table. She hooked her claws on discarded sandwiches, chip bags, burgers– flinging the appetizing ammo into the faces of robots swarming to try and apprehend her, stunning them.

And a trio of them were sent careening across the cafeteria when Kale practically rammed forward and spearheaded them with the metal legs of a chair– sparks flying.

…Now, all of this senseless destruction looks fun and all, but Chai still lacked a weapon.

[silver-wield]

I have to ask fr. Why the hell are they so biased on 🎀? I don't get it? They don't write her well. Despite having the same archetype as zack and wedge, she's not really likable and does a lot of questionable things she doesn't even address. She doesn't really give monetary value.. her watch and figurines never sell well enough. You don't really see third party figurines of her. Her fans are only loud minority tbh that's why they usually resort to dirty tactics to win polls. I wonder if TOTP is a double story because she needed tifa's boost? But she has so much promotion? I heard they even focused on her in osaka branch cafe? That's the new rumor I heard, a staff apparently wanted to focus on her selfishly. I don't understand this tactic? It's cool that jp fans recognize this unreasonable bias that even cloud , the protagonist is being overshadowed and forgotten? It feels as though some overseas fans are a bit slow on a up take? I wonder why not many overseas fans criticize this so? They think we only want to see tifa , but that's not really all there is to it.

Regardless, I don't understand why they focus on 🎀 too much. Have their egos jerked so much from the mentions of that death scene in OG? So strange, I don't like what they're doing.

I honestly don't know why because every time they do their stocks tank and fans complain they lack focus about what the game's about and what fans wanna see.

They have two modes: AERITH IS DYING SO PLZ BE EXCITED FOR WHAT'S TO COME! DID WE SAY AERITH'S DYING? BECAUSE SHE IS AND YOU SHOULD LOOK FORWARD TO THAT SCENE! BECAUSE IT'S AN IMPORTANT SCENE! SHOWING AERITH'S DEATH! BECAUSE SHE'S GONNA DIE IN THIS SCENE SO PLZ LOOK FORWARD TO IT!!!

Their other mode is: ZACK HAS A WHOLE NEW STORY! BE EXCITED TO SEE MORE OF ZACK AND LEARN MORE ABOUT HIS BRAND NEW STORY! BECAUSE IT'S NEW! ABOUT ZACK! BE EXCITED FOR IT!

Meanwhile the fandom: Show us Tifa/Cloud/other characters/gameplay/ locations/plot

SE: WE CAN SHOW YOU ZACK'S NEW STORY!!! NO WAIT. SPOILERS. WE CAN'T SHOW YOU ANYTHING BUT PLZ BE EXCITED FOR IT!!

Fandom: Show us Tifa/Cloud/other characters/gameplay/ locations/plot

SE: DID WE MENTION AERITH'S DEATH?!

Fandom: 😬😬😬Show us Tifa/Cloud/other characters/gameplay/ locations/plot😬😬😬

SE: 😅 AERITH'S DEATH?! ZACK'S NEW STORY?!

Fandom:

Strange love part 3

Once again, you still think about him and how he saved you that day. But you guys still have a lot in common.

Text from Leo:

“Hey, you okay?”

“Yeah. Why?”

“Just wanted to check up on you. You…uh… wanna maybe hang out again?”

“I wish I could. But I have a hair appointment today in the afternoon soon. But I’ll come back and see you tonight. Same time, alright?”

“Okay. Hope everything goes smoothly. See you then.”

After you get back from the appointment, you are back at your apartment room just watching tv and you hear a knock on the door. And you go out to open it. And to your surprise, it’s april.

“Hey y/n l, you gotta see something that I just found right next to the door. I-

“It’s different.”

She looks at your hair color

“Oh yeah. Just wanted to bring out the new me or something. I thought i could use a change.”

“Woah. It’s beautiful.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“So it’s already night. Do you wanna have fun with the guys again?”

“(chuckled) you bet i do.”

You walk with april and casey talking about a lot of things and stuff. Like how it was revealed that Cassandra was actually casey’s mother! Which actually ended up shocking you.

“I didn’t know she would have a son.”

“I know, right?!”

You head back to the lair and hang out with the others again.

“Hey y/n. Woah! Y/n?”

“I know. So… how’s it look?”

And then you see Leo sword fighting with splinter

“I think it looks great! Uh… you okay?”

“Uh……. yeah, i’m fine. Hey where’s raph and mikey?”

“They messing around with buddy. Wanna show them your new look?”

“Yeah sure.”

And then Leo hears laughing and started to get a little bit suspicious of who that was.

“Hey-o!”

Raph and mikey looked at you surprised that you changed your hair.

“Y/n, you look amazing!”

“Yeah, even i think it looks great!”

And you smiled at them loving the new look on you.

“Have you showed Leo yet?”

“No, i haven’t.”

“No? Well what are you waiting for? Come on, let’s go!”

“Guys, just wait a minute!”

They all looked concerned or confused as if you were hiding something from them.

“Y/n, what’s up with you? Why don’t you wanna see Leo?”

And with all of your courage and bravery, you finally came clean and told them the truth.

“Because i’m starting to think about asking Leo out.”

Everyone was both shocked and surprised by what you said.

Raph spit out off his drink. Mikey just stared at you with his mouth down. Donnie had dropped his techno staff. Casey had a surprised face. And april was just screaming inside so she didn’t want to do it out loud.

“Oh! Woah!”

“Do you wanna?”

And you nodded your head agreeing to it.

“Well, why didn’t you tell us?”

“(sigh) I was afraid if i told you guys, i thought you’d maybe laugh at me or think me weird or something.”

“Oh come on! We’d never do anything like that.”

“You-you wouldn’t?”

“Of course not, y/n.”

“Hey. If you wanna ask him out, then do it.”

“Like this? Even with the new hair due?”

“Yeah! You wanna do it, i’d say go for it!”

You smiled at them again

“Okay.”

You hear another knock on donnie’s door and you open it again

“Hey, I don’t know if you were busy! But I understand if you never wanna see me again. I-”

His rambling stops by the hair

“Y/n? You-your hair!”

“Well, yeah. I told you “same time” didn’t i?”

“Uh… Leo, there’s something i wanna ask you. And i feel like i should do it now before i feel kind of awkward.”

“I know we’ve been hanging out for some time, and i don’t know what my life even holds for me, but it just feels like it would be so cool if all of you were apart of that. So…….uh……..i….uh…….”

“DO YOU WANNA GO OUT WITH ME?”

“Ugh. No. I was ready. I was gonna say that.”

“Oh sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. You can say it.”

“(sigh of relief) okay. Leo, do you wanna go out with me?”

“Yes!”

You both laugh and then he hugged you and you blush a little bit. And then he opened his eyes and did the same thing as well.

“Why does this feel so scary?”

“Trust me, you’ll get used to it.”

“Oooooooooooooooh.”

“Nice move, brother.”

“🎵Somebody’s in love.🎵”

“Shut up, guys.”

And everyone leaves, leaving you two in privacy.

What if the majority of the main cast of robots in sb are mimics?

So I won’t be touching on the blob(amalgamation whatever you wanna call them) and burntrap due to the current theory’s and ideas covering them better than I can. Also I probably won’t tap into sun/moon because 1 how unique their endo/body is and 2 how unique their code has to be from the others for the two separate “personality’s” to be so unique

If I remember correctly the current idea was that when the first mimic was found by the company it was taken and used to make more correct? What’s to say that they took the newer ones and put restrictions on them instead of destroying them? It’s fazbear entertainment we’re talking about they like pinching pennies.

Onto the main idea the main four animatronics all seem to have personalities specific to them and what seems more likely for the company: making entirely new code for the animatronics with personality traits (from scratch or from scanned parts) or them taking the mimic code (or full body) and tweaking the code to put limitations on what kind of traits each can mimic and add to their “personality”? If it’s the second option it could explain things about their behaviors that the staff don’t like/ keep having trouble with and behaviors we see ourselves.

Freddy: he was likely given a kind gentle protective settings so he would be a good firstly impression on parents which would have likely have limited his learning to “kind, caring, and protecting” and what do we see him do? He’s first of all his character is really sweet and kind(nothin yet) and he seems to be breaking rule to keep Greg safe: if he does have the mimic code this could be explained by maybe he saw a dad break the mall rules to help/save his son or something, we see him do things that he states are against the rules and has Greg do things to make work arounds to bend the rules where he can’t directly break them

Monty: he was likely given a rough and tough rebel settings for his personality to appeal to boys since they’d see the “cool tough rockstar alligator, soooo cool!” which could realistically end up with him being more aggressive due to boys (especially older ones) rough housing before being reprimanded by the staff, boys like rough housing so he does that too etc etc then when Gregory is there after hours and add together that that’s against the rules and the extra incentive from the boss (whether you think that’s the blob or the burntrap) I could see his aggression going far enough to actually hurt Gregory

Chica: she’s likely the one meant to appeal to the girls more so she’s probably been given something similar to Monty but more girl oriented but more importantly for this she was probably also given food based learning because why would they change what Chica is known for? She’s known for loving fazbear pizza and promoting the food (and likely not wasting food) so give that to a learning ai what do you get? A robot that would try to “eat” leftovers to prevent waste (also if you think about it the best way to take leftovers to the kitchen to reuse it like we have evidence that the place does from the “recycled pizza” note? Chica the pizza loving chicken, maybe she has a storage area for it instead of a stomach hatch like Freddy) so she ends up eating trash

Roxy: she has the raceway (and maybe she’d patrol the arcade to interact with kids, that’d make sense right?) and she’d probably have been given a competitive personality settings to incite kids to try to win and what to kids and people in general do when they’re being competitive? They trash talk and hype themselves up, maybe the talk bad about themselves when they lose, hell there’s a reason there’s a stereotype of “rage gamers” who get really angry when they lose so maybe that’s where her aggression comes from

While a rough idea what do you lot think?
