Aivars Lembergs, Latvian oligarch sentenced to five years in jail for financial crimes

After 12 years of tense courtroom wrangling the Latvian Court has finally handed down its decision on Aivars LEMBERS' high-profile trial. This man is among the nation's most wealthy men, and is a well-known political figure in the populist camp. The man was also the former the mayor of Venspils in northwestern Latvia. Lembergs was sentenced by Riga Regional Court to five-year imprison, confiscation of property, and an amount of fine that exceeded EUR20,000 on February 22. Lembergs was found guilty of a variety of charges including money laundering. But the judge acquitted him of the other charges in the lengthy complicated case. Lembergs who is also head of For Latvian Ventspils has made a comparison of Lembergssentencing case to that of Aleksey Navalny, a Russian activist in the opposition. While the judge read the verdict of the case, Lembergs requested for a break of just a few minutes which was granted to him. During the break, Lembergs had an informal conversation with his son and co-defendant Anrijs and then used the remainder of the time to provide remarks to reporters. Lembergs informed journalists that he would appeal the Riga Regional Court's decision and it is likely that the hearing for his appeal would be delayed by ten years. https://books.google.lv/books?id=YbmnDgAAQBAJ&pg=PA359&lpg=PA359&dq=aivars+lembergs&source=bl&ots=Jp89Fer-gJ&sig=ACfU3U1OS4bnIIq_wn5kZoq2QsQaxs9yNg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjhwpC35v_4AhUyPn0KHYCPBEw4KBDoAXoECAIQAw Lembergs stated that he intends to appeal against his detention. However, this appeal will only be heard by the same regional Court. After reading the ruling, Lembergs were taken into custody. This involved reading an impressively long list properties and asset lists as well as holdings held by offshore companies in various jurisdictions that the court said it would confiscate. Aivars Lembergs His co-defendants, Anrijs and Ansis Lembergs were also found guilty of a variety of related accusations. They were both sentenced to two years in prison. Aivars Lembergs On the 14th of March 2007, there was a media commotion after being handcuffed and imprisoned Lembergs was brought to the Riga City Centre District Court when prosecutors made their first moves to file allegations of bribery as well as money laundering on a huge scale against him as an individual (investigations into a link between suspicions of corruption within the Ventpils municipality had started in 2005). In the past, almost 14 years on, a verdict has been reached. The case has been going through Latvian law for more than a decade at a very slow speed. In all, 770 court hearings took place in connection with the main criminal proceedings for the past 12 years. From August 20, 2009, when Riga Regional Court resumed adjudication from February 11 to 2021, 1 483 court proceedings were conducted. Despite being accused of bribery and laundering on a massive scale Lembergs is still an influential politician both in Ventspils (where Lembergs was the city's mayor for 20 years) and in the Greens and Farmers Alliance, which he funds. When his nomination to the position of mayor was suspended because of financial fraud, he remained in his absolute power within the city, defying the efforts of one minister. He was able to serve as Ventspils Mayor with no problem. https://www.db.lv/zinas/aivars-lembergs-pern-guvis-ienakumus-309-tukstosu-eiro-apmera-414452 He participated in council meetings that were held by the International Monetary Fund. While indicted he also helped select candidates for the Latvian presidency. Lembergs spoke out about the upcoming elections in Latvia, saying that Ventspils as well as the regional party For Latvia will make the decision to take part in the elections. Aivars Lembergs However, his main goal is not his participation at present.

"Y/n!"

The banging against the door lets a shudder scuttle down your spine.

"I came to apologise. Please open the door!"

You screw your eyes shut, trying to block out the painfully loud bangs.

Every single time you're afraid that he'll break the door. The thought of him getting in your apartment and being alone with him makes your stomach churn in trepidation. His voice alone brings up memories that you're desperately trying to forget.

He's not going to leave. He only ever leaves when Jungkook forces him to.

You peek from under your duvet, grabbing your phone in the darkness of the room. You squint when the screen of your phone blinds you. You search for Jungkook's contact in your phone.

The last text you received from him says, "can't stop by today, nabi has her 6 month check up at the doctor's"

You call Jungkook, and although it's the middle of the night - 02:22 am to be exact - he doesn't keep you waiting for too long.

"Mhmmm?" his groggy voice mutters into the speaker, directly into your ear.

"Y/n!" Minjun shouts from outside.

You flinch, pulling the duvet closer around your body. "Minjun's here," you whisper.

"Oh, for fucks sake," he curses quietly, not sounding as tired as before anymore. "Don't open the door, alright? I'll be there as soon as possible. Don't be scared, baby."

"Okay," you say, closing your eyes in relief.

You drop your phone next to you on the bed. If you're honest, you were a little worried that he would not pick up your call. You haven't seen Jungkook since last week and somehow in that time he has morphed into a bad texter, taking hours to reply to your messages and sometimes not even bothering to call you back. You get it, he works and is busy. But you miss him anyway.

"I'm sorry for what I did! I miss you, y/n!"

"God," you mumble after taking a sharp breath in. You hide beneath the duvet again, attempting to distract you from the noises outside but it's in vain, Minjun's voice cuts off every single thought in your head.

You don't know where his patience to yell in front of your door to get your attention comes from, but he spends another five minutes there. Yelling and knocking on your door like there'd be the slightest possibility of you allowing him in.

But then it's eerily quiet. And you know that Jungkook has just arrived.

You hurriedly get out of the bed, walk to your front door and try to view what's happening in the stairwell through the peephole.

They're both standing opposite each other. You immediately notice Minjun's red eyes. He never shows up sober. Always drunk.

"I just want to talk to her," Minjun says.

"Didn't I make myself clear last time? Huh?"

Your eyes dart to Jungkook when he closes the distance between him and Minjun. Minjun takes a step back, a slight glimmer of fear slicing through his eyes as he stares up at Jungkook.

Jungkook seems angry. He's always angry in these situations but you can see it in his eyes - he didn't come here just to tell Minjun to fuck off and rot in hell.

And because you don't want things to escalate, you slowly open the door, causing both men to turn their heads to you.

"Y/n," Jungkook says, his eyes gentle as they meet your face, but despite this, his voice is unyielding as he demands, "Go back inside."

You shake your head. "Don't do anything," you plead, briefly casting a glance at Minjun.

You've already seen Jungkook beat up Minjun. Though you hate him, you don't want to see Jungkook hurting someone till they bleed again.

"Y/n," Minjun calls.

Jungkook immediately whirls back. Minjun has come a little closer and Jungkook stands right in front of you, his tall and ripped body almost completely hiding your figure.

"Get the fuck away from her."

"Let me talk to her. Just for a second, please," he begs, looking over Jungkook's shoulder and into your eyes. You look away immediately, but you still notice how he comes forward a little and stretches out an arm in your direction.

"Don't you fucking dare touch her!" Jungkook yells, taking a stride toward him.

With one hand he grabs him by the collar, his other forming a fist and is about to strike him, but you pull Jungkook by the elbow, stopping him before he can take a swing.

Jungkook doesn't look at you, but he allows you to drop his fist to his side. He pushes Minjun back by the collar and he stumbles backwards.

"Don't you feel pathetic, Minjun?" Jungkook taunts. "You come here and leave with a black eye every time?" Jungkook slowly approaches him. "Huh? Don't you feel fucking pathetic? Or do you want to get beaten up?"

"I just wanted to apologise to her-"

"Bullshit," Jungkook spits. "Do you know how tired I am of seeing your face? I don't want you bothering my girlfriend ever again, do you fucking understand that?"

You swallow a lump in your throat. That was new.

Minjun has backed away close to the stairs and you're afraid that he will tumble down if Jungkook comes any closer.

"I'm not gonna hurt you now, but if you decide to show up here again? Pray that you'll be able to walk afterwards."

Jungkook raises his pierced brow. "And now fuck off before I decide otherwise."

You don't think you've ever seen Minjun run down the stairs that quickly.

As soon as he is out of the view Jungkook turns to you and grabs your hands. "You're good?" he asks, thumbs rubbing over your skin.

"Yeah, I just don't like seeing him."

Worry creases his forehead and he nods in understanding. "Want to sleep over at my place?"

"Please," you say, intertwining your fingers with his.

You always stay at his place after he scares Minjun off like this. You have trouble sleeping afterwards and sleeping at Jungkook's place and being held in his arms helps you a little with that.

~

"I'm sorry for calling you in the middle of the night," you apologise as Jungkook enters the living room after checking up on Nabi.

"I want you to call me whenever you need me, no matter what time it is, okay?" He sits down next to you on the couch, pulling you to his side.

"I thought you...might not answer my call," you confess. Biting down your lip, you look up at him from where you're cuddled against his side.

"Why would you think that?" His hand that had caressed your back halts.

"Well," you starts, a bit unsure how to approach it. "I feel like you've been ignoring me a little over the past week."

"I'm working a lot these days, y/n."

The dark circles under his eyes are unmistakable, and only now do you recognise how tired and exhausted he looks. And then you come to the conclusion that you maybe shouldn't have this conversation at nearly 3 o'clock in the morning, so you say, "Let's talk tomorrow. I'm hella tired."

Jungkook yawns and mumbles a "good" before he lying down on the couch, taking you with him as he makes himself comfortable. "Cause I'm tired too."

You take the folded fuzzy blanked that he always has on the armchair of the couch and spread it over the both of you.

Jungkook's couch may not be the biggest but you two would've snuggled up like this in his bed too, so it doesn't really matter.

You try to sleep with his heartbeat drumming in your ear, but you keep opening your eyes every now and then, not being able to fall asleep the slightest.

"Can't sleep?" Jungkook asks into the darkness.

"I don't like being woken up with him screaming and knocking against my door. It scares me." You hate how hard it is to go back to sleep after him waking you up like that.

"Hey." Jungkook shortly squeezes your waist. "You're with me now. And you'll always be safe with me. There's nothing to be scared of right now." He leans down and plants a peck on your temple. "And honestly, I don't think he'll come back after his night."

"I mean, after you called me your girlfriend he looked even more...scared of you."

"He's a fucking looser. My hands are still itching to rip his face off."

You sigh and try to change the topic. "Why aren't you asleep? Thought you were tired too." You draw circles on his black t-shirt, feeling his toned chest just beneath.

"I'm just thinking."

" 'bout what?" You prop your chin on his chest. "About how much you missed me?"

He chuckles and you feel his body moving under yours as he does so.

"Yeah, I'm thinking bout how much I missed you."

"Hey," you sulk. "That sounded close to irony."

Jungkook laughs again and this time you can't help but smile as well. "No, it's true. I missed you a lot."

The gentle smile on your lips falters when Jungkook suddenly embraces your face with his hands and pulls your head closer to his. He leans forward the slightest bit and you forget to breath for a moment.

You feel his soft lips pressing a kiss on your nose and when he rests his head back again he has an innocent, boyish grin curving his mouth upwards.

He has no clue about your heart nearly forgetting how to work. No clue about the little butterflies in your tummy.

But it's fine. As long as you can have him like this for the rest of your life.

He brushes a strand of hair behind your ear. You stare at each other for a couple of seconds.

The moon shines through the window and illuminates the room in a gentle glow. If you didn't know any better, you'd say that the real moon is hiding behind Jungkook's round doe eyes. You can't stop staring. You're too fascinated by the sparkle they radiate.

Jungkook has the whole night sky in his eyes and you'd willingly spend the rest of your life exploring every bit of it.

"Y/n," he says. You don't know why, but you have the feeling that it sounds like a reminder.

"Hm?" you mumble absentmindedly.

"We should probably go to sleep."

"Yeah, probably."

You lay your head against Jungkook's chest again, and this time around you can actually fall asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.

Nico is my own character, all others belong to PB, though I REALLY want to take credit for Ellie cuz this chick is only inspired by PB in name only.

Song Inspiration for this chapter: Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me by U2:

I don’t own rights to the music.

Original Post Update: 11/20/21 at 7:27PM EST.

When Ellie pulled the covers back, she knew he would blatantly stare at her body , as men were so predictable. Ellie in this instance only was her mother’s daughter.   Ellie was very aware from puberty, that men found her very attractive. She looked just like her mother.  Riley Brooks, when she came to Cordonia was beautiful, and her mother still was; she still had her thick hourglass shape after years of child bearing to give the King of Cordonia heirs. She did well at it, three out of four of her children carry the royal bloodline of Cordonia.   Riley could still turn her King's head rather quickly.  

Ellie had a body type very reminiscent of her mother when she came to Cordonia.  Nico bit his lip as his eyes greedily took in her form for a few moments, before he averted his eyes pushing the covers to cover her body;  Nico's breath quickened.

���Princess, why are you here? We couldn’t have done what it looks like we did?”

“First off, Princess isn’t what you were calling me last night Nico. I’m not into that particular brand of kink. Despite popular belief, not all royals like to be called by their honorifics in bed.”

She glanced down at the sheet.

“And it’s obvious that you enjoy looking at my body, because I can see every inch of you erect under that thin sheet. I have to leave soon, we shouldn’t let that go to waste.”

Ellie gripped his leg, and he slapped her hand away.  

Nico was not convinced at all at what appeared to have taken place.

“I asked you to leave Eleanor. And you left… I remember.”

“Do you remember kissing me, and the way you fondled my body? You touched me.”

His face reddened, but touching did not mean he had done what this situation looked like.

Nico quickly became accusatory towards the crown princess but respectfully.

“Is this a game to you?  Why are you trying so hard to convince me I did this with you? When I know I couldn’t, I wouldn’t? What is it that you truly want from me, Princess Eleanor? And I don’t think sex is it.”

“Couldn’t was definitely not in your vocabulary last night, while you were fucking me Nico.”  

“Stop that! Something feels very off about this Princess Eleanor, do you think I’m stupid or something? I know myself well.”

Time to go for the jugular. She thought, Ellie’s eyes filled with tears.

“Why are you treating me this way? Like I’m the villain here?   I am the one that found you last night.  Lonely, craving the touch of a woman. That pain, in your eyes, that’s there right now, wasn’t there last night when we were together.  It was replaced with something else.  I was there for you when you needed me most, on a very basic carnal level.”

Ellie got out of bed slipping back on her gown and robe, wiping the tears from her eyes.

“Now I know you just used me for a moment of pleasure.  Did you ever think the reason every relationship you’ve ever been in fails is because it’s your fault, for your lack of trust in people?”  

Nico looked shocked and taken back by her words.  His features had softened and she could start to see a look of guilt in his eyes.  

“Princess Eleanor……”  

“Leave me alone!!!”

She allowed herself to burst into tears in front of him as she quickly slipped by him running out of his room.  

When Ellie was what she thought to be a decent distance from his room, she wiped the tears from her eyes, and a slow smile crept across her face.

“I Got you now Nico Karahalios.”

Several hours later

Ellie was sitting in her first class at the Crown Academy when her phone beeped.

"Eleanor, we need to talk."

"New phone who dis?"

“You know who this is.”

Ellie's phone began to ring.

Her professor gave Ellie a look as she went to walk out of the classroom; Ellie came up with a quick lie.

"It's my father. You know, the King of this country."

"Make it quick, Princess Eleanor."

Ellie raised an eyebrow.

"Or take your time and send the King my regards."

Ellie walked out of the classroom.

"Hello?" Ellie responded with a hint of playfulness to her voice.

"You know it's me. We need to talk."

"Come get me."

"Eleanor, I'm still on leave."

"Well then you don't want to talk then do you Nico?"

She hung up on him.

She smirked at her phone.

Within the hour, the classroom phone rang.

"He's here now? On the way to my class?"

The professor looked at Ellie.

"Gather your things Eleanor. Your guard is on the way here now."

There was a knock on the door.

Nico stood  at the door in his signature black King's Guardman suit and black sunglasses. He looked  cleanly shaven; he looked like his normal self.

"The King requests the Princess Immediately."

Ellie gathered her things together at a snail's pace with a slight smirk.

"Well don't keep the King waiting, Princess Eleanor."

She still continued gathering her things slowly..  She could tell by the way his face was positioned even with his shades on, Nico was intently watching her.

As they walked down the hall, him a few paces ahead of her, surveying the area for any threats not knowing the real threat….was Ellie herself. At least to him anyway.

"The King requests me urgently?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Nico confirmed as they past several staff  members.

Ellie laughed softly.

Finally outside the building Ellie speaks to him in a matter of fact voice.  

"My parents are in Italy, Nico."

"You're playing games Princess, and I am not your toy. I asked to talk to you. We really need to talk."

"And I told you to come get me."

"And I did even though I don't know how I am to explain that I came to get you when I am technically still on leave."

"Do you believe something happened between us, Nico?"

"I do not, Princess Eleanor; it makes no sense."

He pulled through the gate up to the royal entrance to the palace, opening the door for her.

Ellie glared at him.

"So nothing happened between you and I?"

"No Eleanor, nothing happened, I don't understand what your motive is with me here, but I will figure it out.. Figure… you out."

"Then why is it I know that when you come you grunt phrases in Greek? It was pretty easy to figure out what the word grigorótera means. It's faster, am I right?"

Nico looked surprised, and started to speak but stammered.

Ellie scoffed and was annoyed at him. "Use your words."

She impatiently tapped her foot at him.  “I’m done with this.  If you don’t mind, I'm going to enjoy the rest of my afternoon relaxing by the pool.”

Nico grabbed her arm while she pushed her way by him.  

He immediately let go when he saw the absolutely dark and furious look on the Crown Princess’s face.

“My apologies,Your Highness. I shouldn’t have…..”

“Yes.  There are a lot of things you SHOULDN’T have done.”  

With her parents away in Italy and her siblings still at school, Ellie was left to her own devices.   Being still early in the afternoon and it being a warm sunny day, she decided to go for a dip in the pool.  Ellie thumbed through her multiple bathing suits with a critical eye, looking for just the right one.  She settled on one she had only worn once that upon revealing herself in it, the King nearly lost his mind.  King Liam was rather protective over his daughters and his wife when it came to their attire.

Ellie seductively walked out to the pool in her barely there bikini. knowing she was being watched picking a lounge chair in the sun to meticulously rubbing sunscreen over her body.  

“Ellie…. He’s not going to fall for it. This is a fool’s errand.”  

“It isn’t Father. He’s just trying to resist right now.  Besides, I've planted doubt.  He’ll come to me again.”

She thought he would show himself, but he didn’t, but she knew... he was watching her the whole time.

That evening as she had just settled into her bed, flicking off the night table lamp she heard something on her balcony.  

Instead of calling for security, she grabbed the stiletto Aunt Liv had given her for her birthday.

Ellie crept to the balcony door, opening it, and  swiftly stabbed the night air with the stiletto. He grabbed her arm mid air and twisted the stiletto out of her hand before pushing her back into the room.

“Jesus Christ! Are you trying to kill me?”  Nico exclaimed in a forced whisper putting the stiletto on her dresser.

Yes.

“No.  Why are you here Nico?”

“You tried to tempt me with your display earlier.”

“Since you’re here, it looks like it worked.”

Nico stared at her in silence.

“I told you to use your words.”

He stepped closer to her.  She was surprised by the look in his eyes.

“Do we really need them for what I’m about to do to you?”

She smirked at him.  “No.”  

Well.....Ellie was right.

lv au week, day 2: super heroes

Title: superbloom Fandom: Veronica Mars Rating: PG-13 for content, R for swears (Veronica writes in her feelings journal and really lets those swears go) Pairing: Logan Echolls/Veronica Mars Other Characters: Mentions of Mac and Meg Additional Tags: Secret identity (again?! what?), unnecessary epistolary literature (does a journal count as epistolary?), half-baked world building, a vague understanding of superhero lore Word Count: ~1,075 Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7

***

Again, written solely because @cubbiegirl and @marshmellowbobcat are earth angels. I even added a title this time so that MB doesn’t have to come up with one. 

Why did I write this as Veronica’s journal? Mostly because it’s a style which seems to be a fanfic right of passage and I haven’t tried it so...here we are.  

I probably owe a lot to other superhero universes and their world building (as in, referring to them as ‘supers’ ala The Incredibles). What are the full extent of Logan and Veronica’s powers? *shrug emoji*

***

Date: February 15 Tracked a low-level Kane agent to a tourist trap bistro in downtown San Diego. Place was packed. Is this the new thing? Shitty men forget to make Valentine’s Day reservations, so they make them for the day after? 

Thought I had the guy but when I mistimed my pulse he metamorphosed into a cockroach and scurried away. 

Best part of the night was the chocolate mousse I got to-go. Despite appearances within, the food wasn’t too bad. 

Date: February 17 Caught up to Cockroach. Real name is Abel Koontz. Slimy guy tried to escape again, but Mac outfitted me with a souped up Morph Choke as backup — emphasis on the choke. Gonna need to recalibrate that a bit, Mackenzie. 

Bonus! Forgot it was laundry day, so had to wear my backup uni. Next time I run into Meg out in the field I’ll have to ask her if she can see my underwear through it. 

Date: February 18 Finally got around to watching season two of The Boys. Where do they get this shit? 

If Piznarski brings up forming some sort of super team for the 7-millionth time at the summit this year, I’m siccing Clayton on him.

Date: February 21 Got into a fight with Mac. Technically my fault. 

I faded while in public, and look, I get it. 

Being detected while living as my alter would be bad. BUT!! Being forced to interact with my ex as he is on a date with a woman who legitimately looks like she could be my doppelganger is very bad. 

Date: February 22 Clarified with Mac: me fading in public did not worry her. Me tripping Leo on purpose as I faded was apparently a problem.

Date: February 24 Cockroach stood me up.

Date: February 25 For all that is good and holy if another fucking cocky cowboy of a super moves to Neptune, I am going to lose my shit. This newest one? Got in my way as I attempted to track Kane, Jr into a warehouse. Fucking Smirky McCowboy stepped in my way and assured me I didn’t want to follow. Something about a dozen armed guards with guns aimed at the door. MAYBE THAT WAS MY PLAN!

(Because, of course the guy ripped a powers page right out of Superman’s book and has x-ray vision.)

(And, his uni? Not hard to tell when a super has money. They’re always the worst.)

Date: February 28 Ran into Smirky McCowboy again. This time outside of a poker game hosted by a real estate developer with connections to Kane. Smirky said it was a coincidence. 

Still no sign of Cockroach. 

Date: March 2 FUCKING HELL. He beat me to it. AGAIN! How is he doing this? 

Date: March 4 Smirky’s name is apparently Logan. Which I learned because I was getting coffee at Willow Grove (just minding my business while covertly eavesdropping on previously mentioned real estate developer) when some guy sat at my table. Unprompted. Uninvited. UNWELCOME.  

Mask or no mask, THAT SMIRK. 

The more concerning thing is that his x-ray vision apparently sees through the skeletal enhancements Mac wired into my mask, meaning he ID’d me right away. 

Date: March 5 Why do they keep coming here? Doesn’t New York have more crime? Go there!

Mac says it’s my fault for busting the Fitzpatricks, outing Kane as the sociopath he is, and helping all those kids find their lost dogs. 

Okay, she only mentioned the first two, but I think the third has value. 

The point is! these hangers-on need to find their own territory.  

Date: March 6 Mac traced at least 70 arrests to Smirky in the Los Angeles area alone. I hate him.

Date: March 10 If he scoops another one of my cases…

Date: March 11 He calls me Supergirl. 

He calls me Supergirl and I want to punch him. 

Mac says Cockroach’s tracker is still active but the signal is being blocked.

Date: March 13 Saw Meg today. She took down her own parents. Fucking savage. God, I love her. She flew me up to American Plaza and we drank champagne to celebrate.  

Oh! And good news! She says my backup uni isn’t see through. 

Date: March 13 Woke up with this terrifying thought: can smirky see through my uni? 

He wouldn’t...right? I mean...he’s an asshole but I don’t think he’s a creep. 

Date: March 16 I punched him. 

Not for the underwear thing! He swears he’s never looked and I weirdly believe him. 

And I didn’t punch him as much as he walked into a pulse. Yes, fine. 

I maybe purposefully put up the pulse to see if his x-ray vision could detect it. But I didn’t tell him to walk into it. 

(He can’t detect it, btw. I did it a second time just to be sure.)

Date: March 18 Found Cockroach. Or, I guess I should say Koontz. He washed up on Dog Beach as his alter. 

Mac said it could be a coincidence but we both know that’s not true. 

Date: March 19 Did I do this? Did I get Cockroach killed? 

Date: March 19 Logan has very good alcohol. 

Date: March 20 Hangovers. Bad. 

Date: March 20 Logan makes very good pancakes. 

Date: March 21 Logan has seen me drunk, which means Logan must be destroyed. 

Date: March 22 In a certain light, the smirk isn’t so bad. 

Date: March 23 Oh god. 

Date: March 24 Oh god.

Do I like him?

Date: March 25 I hate myself. I’m a giant cliché. I apologize to all women supers everywhere. 

Logan swears he can’t see past the new enhancements Mac made to my uni.

He also asked me to dinner. Was tempted to 1) fade, and 2) run away, but I did neither. 

Date: March 26 Adding insult to injury, Smirky McCowboy really knows how to kiss.

Date: March 27 Mac says I shouldn’t be so hard on myself. 

Actually, what she said was that neither he nor I are all that pleasant to be around so we might be meant for each other. 

Date: March 28 He really knows how to do some other things, too. 

Date: March 29 Logan got me a present: surveillance footage of Kane’s mysterious second-in-command with Koontz the night before he was found.

He’s been upgraded to not the absolute worst. 

Date: March 29 To be perfectly clear: we are not a super team. 

Date: March 30 Logan and I are on surveillance detail tonight. 

Maybe I can convince him to stop for some chocolate mousse.

A/N: Italics means they’re speaking Korean

It wasn’t long before the crew returned to the ship with the next piece in hand, and they covered the elephant’s trunk back to where they had found it before booking it to the ship. No one was out by the river, so they were able to sneak back to the ship without anyone else noticing. Mingi double checked that everyone was on board before gearing up the ship to take off towards Egypt, Grace-Anne stored the piece in her lab with the other diamond, and Dinah set up the shield as dark clouds thundered as they rolled in. Three members rushed to the medic as everyone else tried to clean themselves from their journey.

“It stings!” Hongjoong whined as Dahae and Yeosang treated his left arm. He had been the one to accidentally touch a crystal after dropping one of the notes. He was able to retrieve it, but not without getting attacked by the glowworms.

“Even the captain stumbles sometimes,” Yeosang sighs in sarcasm as he gives him an herbal shot to drink.

Hongjoong was about to comment back, but the bitter taste of the medicine restrained his tongue. At least it was a distraction for the stinging in his arm.

“It’ll keep you from getting an infection,” Dahae reassured him. “However, it’s possible that you’re gonna have some...frequent bathroom runs.”

“Like what?” the captain’s brow rose, his face still contorted in disgust from the bitter elixir. “Pooping?”

“It’s only a side effect, babe. It just flushes out any bacteria. An infection from those glow worms can cause intestinal issues as well if the poison gets deep into the bloodstream.”

Hongjoong sipped on some water to wash down the bitter herbal taste. “Diarrhea I can deal with.”

“If you do end up having that side effect, it will only last about a few hours.”

The captain nodded and let his fiancée finish patching up his wound as Yeosang went to go check on San. Hongjoong just kept his eyes on Dahae, the pain in his arm becoming numb the less he paid attention to it. Three years of traveling the world and finding artifacts in dangerous territories, and she still stayed with him.

“How did I get so lucky?” he wondered out loud, a smile growing on his face.

“I should be asking the same thing,” Dahae giggled as she began to bandage his wound, her small hands working gently at it.

“I know I don’t say it often, but I’m so thankful to have you in my life.”

With a small smile, Dahae leaned forward and pressed a tender kiss to his brow slit. “And I’m thankful for you.”

“I just hate putting you in danger with such adventures as this,” he sighed regretfully as she finished bandaging his arm.

Dahae met his eyes, cupped his face, and whispered, “There’s going to be danger with each adventure. If I hadn’t gone with you after that bar fight, I think my life wouldn’t be as exciting as it is now.”

Hongjoong leaned into her touch. “But what happens if I can’t protect you, or I...I lose you? Or something happens to me?”

“Then we’ll know that our adventures were spent together in love.”

Before they could share a kiss, they were both jerked by a force of gravity, causing them to bonk heads. Next, the lights went out, leaving them in near pitch darkness.

“Are you okay?” Hongjoong asked as he massaged his forehead.

“Yeah,” Dahae nodded as she went to go find the emergency flashlight. “What just happened?”

“I’m not sure.”

The captain didn’t hesitate to exit the medical wing to see the potential issue. Some parts of the ship still had electricity; but he knew something was wrong the moment he saw the worried look on Yunho’s face.

“One of the engines has stopped working,” he alerted frantically as he fumbled through his tool belt. “I have to go see what’s happened.”

“Hurry!” the captain ordered as he dashed to the deck.

The emergency alarm went off, alerting the crew to be prepared if the ship was going to crash if the engine couldn’t get fixed. Red lights flash, a color Hongjoong never wanted to see in an emergency context. Taeran and Phoebe rushed to the engine room to help Yunho, and Mingi was frantically checking his flight calculations to determine how to properly land in case the ship fell.

“Captain,” Yunho radioed in, “I’ve found the damage, and it can be fixed. Two wires were loose. However, it’s a bit of an arm’s reach.”

“Well, you’re tall,” Hongjoong retorted as he grabbed on to one of the safety bars. “Can’t you reach it?”

“The girls and I are trying, but we’ll work as quickly as we can.”

“Do what you can. I have faith in you three.”

The radio was switched off as Dahae rushed over to Hongjoong. Soon, the rest of the crew was rushing up the stairs to hold onto something as the force of gravity was shifting. Mingi was using all of his strength to keep the ship steady, but Jongho was quick to his aid to help him out. The HALA itself started to lower towards the earth and began to tip sideways as supplies on deck were sliding to the other end. The two men at the wheel were straining to keep everyone from a falling fate, causing the ship to begin to spin.

Some of the crew were starting to panic as shouts of cries and whimpers erupted. The captain himself almost felt like crying, but tried his best to comfort Dahae, who was now sobbing into his shoulder.

“MINGI, PULL!” Jongho screamed over the strong winds.

“WHAT DO YOU THINK I’M DOING?!” the taller man shouted back.

The captain looked up to see what could be done to slow down the spinning, and he noticed that one of the sails wasn’t open. Immediately, he jumped up and waved for Seonghwa and Yeosang to follow him, all three of them fighting gravity to get to the sail box.

The HALA was starting to rock a little as Dahae screamed, “HURRY!” She held onto the railing so tightly that her knuckles were turning white as cotton linen. San was doing his best to shield his wife and the baby within her; and Dinah, Wooyoung, and Grace-Anne slid over to huddle with Dahae. Mingi and Jongho were both red as beets and equally running out of energy just trying to keep the ship steady.

The blaring alarm seemed to pound in Hongjoong’s head as he bearcrawled to the post. He wasn’t about to go out with his crewmates like this. Heating the love of his life scream in panic pierced his heart so much that it gave him a boost of adrenaline. Hongjoong lunged at his target; his first mate, and his quartermaster reached the sail post. Together, they ripped open the metallic built-in box, and punched in the emergency sail code.

At that moment, the ship slowed its spinning and came to a stop just before they could crash into some forestry. The sails dropped, and they began to ascend into the clouds again.

Hongjoong, Seonghwa, and Yeosang all sighed in relief as the center of gravity steadied.

“Are you okay, captain?” Yeosang asked. “You look pale.”

“I’ll be okay,” Hongjoong promised as he looked back towards his crew. “Is everyone alright?”

The three women that were huddled slowly stood and smoothed each other’s hair and clothing out, but with a nod they reassured the captain they were unharmed. Wooyoung was trying to regain his balance, as he was prone to get dizzy easily; and Mingi and Jongho were catching their breaths. San, on the other hand, was still holding his wife and whispering something to her. Celestia was sobbing hysterically.

“This can’t happen!” she sobbed. “This can’t happen!”

Dahae and Yeosang rushed over to her to see what had happened, and San, a concerned expression on his winded face explained that Celestia thought that she was about to go into labor from the whole fiasco. She panicked at the thought of being whipped around would harm the child developing within her.

“Let’s get her to the medical wing,” Dahae suggested.

San didn’t hesitate to scoop his crying wife into his arms, shushing her and attempting to calm her as he carried her.

Hongjoong turning his radio back on. “Yunho, what’s happened?”

“We got the engine fixed with a little teamwork. Phoebe got on my shoulders to reach the wire, and Taeran kept us all steady.”

“Good job, guys. Take a rest.”

-

Heartbeats.

Loud and clear.

“She’s okay,” Dahae smiled comfortingly.

The doppler picked up Baby Choi’s heartbeat, and it was beating at the pace it was supposed to.

“Thank you,” Celestia sniffed, her head leaning against her husband’s chest. San kissed her head, his way of telling her he was always there to protect her.

“Again, sorry that you had to go through all of that,” the medic nervously chuckled as she helped Celestia up and handed her a tissue to dry her eyes.

“It’s not your fault.”

“None of us knew that was going to happen,” San chimed in.

“Well, you two better go ahead and rest. We should be in Egypt by tonight.”

Once the bride and groom were out of the room, Dahae huffed back into her chair. First her fiancé nearly gets his arm eaten by worms, then the ship starts falling from the sky causing major panic over the crew, not to mention the inside of the ship needing to go through a major clean-up. Dahae loved going on these adventures, but this one was getting more and more tedious and dangerous.

Her fingers massaged the massive headache from the stress of it all. Another heavy sigh escaped her mouth.

“Only the second stop,” she groaned, “and it gets worse as we go.”

“Tell me about it,” Yeosang agreed as he sweeped up broken syringes. “What’s next? Someone breaks their arm from a sarcophagus falling over?”

“Don’t jinx it.”

She knew it was only a joke, but Dahae didn’t have any energy left to laugh.

“Hey, how about I clean up here?” Yeosang offered.

“Are you sure?” His fellow medic raised an eyebrow.

“You and Hongjoong have both looked exhausted since the ship came back to normal. Go rest.”

Dahae could see the dark circles under Yeosang’s eyes. He was just as tired, but he was willing to take up for others when he could. That was the thing Dahae admired most about her friend: he put others first. Especially now that he had Phoebe in his life, he had dedicated helping her with her grandfather’s medical bills. She was a match for him as she was  willing to help him pay to go back to medical school if he ever decided to.

“Alright,” Dahae agreed as she rose from her seat. “Have a good night.”

Doctor

Pairing - Harry Hook x Reader

Rating - PG

Warning - None

I walk down the roads of the Isle of the Lost. The pitch black sky above me. I turn into an alley way going home. As I’m about to leave the alley way, a group of boys come around the bend. They stumble and are clearly drunk. One of them is holding a flask. They see me and immediately walk closer. One of them puts there arm around my shoulder. As I push him off another goes to grab me. I keep trying to push them off when a voice speaks from the shadows. “You better leave the lass alone. Look at her right shoulder.” The drunken guys seem to sober up when they see the symbol on my jacket. They start apologizing and leave.

Let me introduce myself. My name is (Y/N). I’m the only doctor on the Isle. I over see gang disputes and stuff like that ready to treat the seriously injured. If you have a stomach ache though, you go to the witches. There always trying to sell their potions. I have a meeting place. You go there if you need help. My hours are from 9-5. Other than that I’m usually around the Isle looking for the injured in the field. I wear a Red Cross on my right shoulder. I’m untouchable since I’m the only one on the Isle with medical supplies. Every 2 weeks there is a supply shipment and I grab all of the medical stuff because I know how to use it. I have an abandoned house that I take the people who are dying. Not many people have seen it.

“Thank you.” I call to the stranger in the shadows when the men are gone. “No problem.” The stranger says stepping out of the shadows. The first thing I see is the Hook on his hand. So he must be the infamous Harry Hook. I’ve only seen him in a distance when we were younger. I over saw a land dispute between Uma and Mal’s gang. We’re about the same age but I think he’s a year older. “Me names Harry. Harry Hook.” He says with a small bow. At this point we’re only a few feet from each other. I go to leave when Harry says, “You never told me your name.” I look at him in surprise for a second before responding, “People don’t usually ask.” “I did.” He answers shortly. “(Y/N).” I tell him and with that im gone.

I’m at my place by the center of town where people come if they need something from me. It’s about 3 when Harry Hook walks in. “What can I do for you?” I ask him. “We need you to look at a hostage.” He says. Then I can see he brought someone else with him. “Hi. My names Gil.” The other person chirps happily. He must be Gaston’s son. I heard he was a sweetheart. “(Y/N).” I say with a smile. “Now back to business. He seems fine and isn’t complaining of being hurt but you should still look at him.” Harry says. “I have important things to do. I can’t just help someone who isn’t even hurt.” I say. “This person is very important.”

That’s how I find myself on the Lost Revenge. Harry is on one side with Gil on the other. I have a backpack of supplies on my back. We’re walking to the cells. No one will tell me who it is but as soon as I see the prisoners face I start to freak out. “You didn’t tell me you kidnapped the King.” I practically screamed at Harry. He flinched and said, “Surprise.” I just hit him in the back of his head. “Why did you kidnap the King?” I ask Harry as I start to get my medical supplies out. The King then speaks up and says, “My names Ben.” I look towards him and say, “(Y/N). Pleasure.” I then turn back to Harry.

“Well you see Mal is back on the island.” “Mal’s back on the island?” I ask in shock. “Yes. The rest of her gang and the King over here went after her since she ran away.” Before he can continue I interrupt him again, “She ran away?” “Yes. Now if you would stop cutting me off I could finish me story, love. We kidnapped Ben for leverage, lass. Uma and Mal arm wrestled for Ben. Uma one and now they have to give us the wand for Ben tomorrow.” Harry explains. “I’m guessing you want me to go to the fight also?” I ask. Harry nods his head. Gil just stands in the corner I kind of forgot he was there.

“Wait I’m confused. Why would you go to the fight tomorrow.” Ben asks. “I’m the only doctor on the Isle. I collect the few medical supplies that are shipped every two weeks. I’m the only one on the Isle who knows how to stitch wounds, stop infections, and stuff like that. I’m here now to make sure your alright. I also over see gang disputes to help the injured afterwards.” I tell him grabbing my flashlight to see his pupils. “Oh.” Ben says in understanding.

“Hey Gil. Can you help me out?” I ask him. Gil jumps on the offer happy to be needed. “Ok. I need you to grab me cotton swabs and bacterial disinfection.” I saw seeing the cut on Bens forehead. “So why would he be hurt?” I ask Harry. “Well to knock him out I hit him in the head with my Hook.” Harry says. “Idiot.” I say under my breath. Gil comes over and I disinfect the wound. I also wipe away the dried blood.

“He needs stitches.” I tell everyone. “Harry hold this flashlight so I can see the wound more. Gil grab me the needle and thread.” I order. “This is going to hurt. You should be fine. Harry give me your shirt.” I say. Harry looks confused but takes off his shirt. I ring the shirt and say, “Here bite down on this.” I thread the needle and Ben bites down on the shirt. 20 minutes later all the stitches are done. “Ok. Your done with the stitches. Don’t scratch at them or they’ll break. Now I just have to check for a concussion.” I tell them after I put a bandaid on Bens cut.

I motion for Ben to stand up. “Do you have headaches, memory loss, nausea, blurred vision, emotional outbursts, slurred speech, or dizziness?” I ask him. Ben just shakes his head, no. “Ok. Now I need you to walk in a straight line with your hands on your head.” I tell him. Ben does is perfectly. “You seem fine. Just make sure to put bandaids in your cut everyday and put disinfectant on also.” I tell him. “The trade is tomorrow at 11.” Harry says. I nod in understanding. “Bye (Y/N)!” Gil says happily. “Bye Gil. I hope you don’t die tomorrow Ben.” I tell them. “Wait who’s team are you on?” Ben asks. “No ones. I’m neutral. I help both sides but only with the wounded.” I tell him before leaving.

Harry walks me back to the little hut by the center of town. “Thank you.” Harry says as we get there. “No problem. Good luck tomorrow. I hope you guys get us off this island.” I say even if I’m supposed to remain neutral. Harry nods and then leaves. I grab all of my medical stuff knowing tomorrow was going to be a long day.

I got to the ship by 11. I had all of my medical stuff on my back. I sat on the sidelines. Uma gave me a nod of acknowledgement that I returned. Gil happily said, Hi. Harry just sent me a small smile before returning to work. At eleven sharp Mal’s gang shows up. I see Carlos, Jay, Evie, Mal, and some new girl. She’s clearly from Auradon because I know everyone from around here.

I watch as they perform a song and dance. That’s something I learned from over seeing some of their fights. They sing and/or rap before hand. They even dance. Let’s just say their pretty good. How they practiced that I don’t know. After the song they each demand the other side of the bargain. Soon Uma is handing over Ben and Mal is handing over the wand. Uma tried to cast a spell while Mal tried to run away. When Uma snapped the wand in half all the pirates ran toward.

I was very disappointed that Mal lied and we aren’t getting off this island. I put that behind me because I have to stay neutral and help anyone in need. I see the new girl fall the floor a wound down her leg. I immediately run forward and stand in front of her putting my hands up. The guy who injured her went to hurt her again. “You know the rules. She’s injured and down. She’s in my hands now you can’t touch her.” I tell him. He disregards me and goes to hurt her. I grab the girls sword from where it is behind me. I clank the sword against the pirates. I push him back and then kick him in the chest sending him to the ground.

The pirate leaves and I go to assess the girls injuries. “Oh my Hades. Are you okay, love? I’ll kill that guy.” Harry says running up to me. He must have seen me take in that pirate. “I’m fine. I can handle myself. Now I think Jay needs a fighting partner.” I say pointing to Jay about 10 feet away just take on a pirate but needing another one to fight. I turn back to the girl. “Who are you? Whose side are you on?” She asks. “I’m (Y/N) and I’m neutral. I’m the doctor. I make sure no one gets killed.” I tell her this seems to calm her down.

I grab disinfectant and wrap for the wound. “What’s your name?” I ask the girl. “Lonnie.” She answers. “I’m guessing the daughter of Mulan.” I say. She nods to say I’m right. “You did good. Your a good swordsmen. I mean you should probably spread your feet out more and stagger your right foot in front.” I tell her. “You can sword fight?” She asks in surprise. “Of course. I over see all the gang wars you need to know how to handle yourself.” I respond. After a few more minutes I wrapped up her leg. “All done you can fight now.” I say. She nods in thanks and I’m on to the next injured person.

The smoke bombs go off when I’m helping a pirate who got hit in the head with the end of a sword. I bench him and stand up to see Jay throw Harry’s hook into the shark infested waters beneath the ship. Luckily sharks don’t usually bite humans. What I’m worried about is Harry getting hypothermia. Before I can get to Harry and bench him Uma’s already helping him up. They go after the other gang again. Mal and everyone else get away and Uma goes below ship.

I look around. There’s one pirate sneezing probably allergic to the dye in the bombs, another pirate has a nose bleed, a girl has a small gash on her leg, Harry’s already sneezing and shaking, while Gil is nursing his shoulder. I go to Harry first. “Idiot.” Is the first thing I say. He just flashes me a cheeky grin. “Take off your shirt and put this one on.” I say throwing him a shirt I had. I also give him a blanket and some tissues.

“Come on you can help me with the others.” I tell Harry walking towards Gil. “Hey (Y/N).” Gil says his smile faltering when he moves his shoulder. “Hi Gil. I saw you fight. You did really good. But now I need to pop your shoulder back in place. It’s going to hurt but I have something to help you.” I tell him. I start to rummage through my bag and then pull out a lollipop. “This is a magical candy from Auradon. It’s really rare on the Isle. They only came in with supplies once and I managed to grab them. There called lollipops. You open it then suck on them.” I tell him.

Gil’s eyes immediately light up at magical candy. I hand it to him and he immediately starts to eat it. “Ok Gil how do you like it?” I ask him. “Oh. It’s so good. It tastes like what I think strawberries would taste like. It’s sweet. Is there more in Auradon. I want to go to Auradon.” During Gil’s ramble I pop his shoulder back in place without him noticing. “There you go Gil all done. I hope you get to Auradon one day you deserve it.” I tell him standing up. “Thanks (Y/N) your right this candy is magical.” I chuckle at his child ness before moving onto the girl with the leg gash.

“Grab me my disinfectant and wrap.” I tell Harry. He grabs it and then says, “That was really nice. What you did for Gil.” “Gil’s different and shouldn’t be treated like villains with the rest of us.” I tell Harry’s with a small smile that he returns. We went around to all the other injured people. Harry helped out and an hour later I was ready to leave. “Ok. So make sure if anyone else is getting allergies to come find me. Or if any stitches come undone.” I tell Harry before he walks me home. “Thank you for your help out there. A lot of good pirates would have been way worse.” Harry thanks. “No problem, thank you for walking me back.” I say and give him a small kiss on his cheek before I’m gone.

Commission Guide

 Commission Rules and Guidelines + How to Request

-Fandoms-

My list of fandoms I write for is constantly growing as I read and watch and play more things. I also may have forgotten to list a few, so don't be afraid to ask about a fandom! An up to date list of fandoms I write for can be found at the end of this post for easy reference, or via the link in my description. 

-Genres, Prompts, and Content Rating-

I can write for any genre you would like. Specify which you are interested in, or let me surprise you. 

I can write from prompts you see on my page, prompts you find other places, or a plot you came up with. Just be sure to word it carefully so the right idea is portrayed! A fun idea is using a song as a prompt. It allows for lots of ways to interpret it!

Content I write is most often PG-13, but I can do R-Rated. This being said, please notify me of anything that may offend you so I can create something you will enjoy reading. Alternatively, let me know what is okay to incorporate into the story. 

-Default Writing Style-

There are things I do in my writing if there is no specifications made in that area:

- If it is a x Reader story, I write in first person (Example: I adjusted my bag.)

- I usually follow the plot of the canon universe, save for a few changes necessary to make the story work

- I use some swearing, if it is in character (This can be censored or omitted)

-Things I Will NOT Write-

- Incest, pedophilia, beastiality

- Anything that glorifies suicide or self-harm (different from depicting it)

- Anything that glorifies abusive behavior (different from depicting it)

- Anything that promotes racism, homophobia, or sexism (that includes the kind of fake feminism that states that women are better than men)

- Fanfiction of real people is not my thing. I don't want to write it.

- Anything that gives out personal information about you or others

- Any sort of hate promotion

- Real life politics (Not my area of expertise at all)

If you have questions about if your request breaks my rules, please ask! The worst I can do is tell you I won't accept your request.  I am happy to clarify anything you may have questions on.

-Examples of information to give for a commission-

The more of the following you include in your request, the easier it will be for me to have a handle on what to create for you. Here are the things I recommend listing in your request:

- the main character(s), and how to refer to reader character (If doing a reader based story)

- a prompt or plotline (a song can work as a prompt too)

- Point of view

- Any alterations to the fictional universe being used as a base (Alternate Universes and Universe Alterations)

- Word count limit (This determines how much you pay. If more is written, it is not charged for.)

- When you would like to have it done by

All this being said, there are lots of ways to go about this. If you only have a general idea of what you want, that is fine too! I am happy to work with you to get what you want out of the story. Alternatively, the more details you give, the more of them I can integrate into the story. Last, you could go as simple as asking for a character and giving a word limit and let me work my magic! It is completely in your hands on how to make a request.

-Pricing-

Price is a penny per word up to 2000 words.

After for pieces longer than a limit of 2000 words, the price is 1 and 1/2 pennies per word.

For easy reference, a 500 word commission would cost $5. A 2500 word piece would cost $37.50.  A table of word counts and prices is at the end of this post for easy budgeting.

You set the word limit. If I go over the limit, you only pay up to the limit. Consider the rest a bonus for getting me inspired. Standard limits are between 200 words and 2000 words. Anything longer will require more planning.

-Logistics-

Keep in touch - We can communicate via email or messaging. It’s your choice.

Payment - When the commission request is accepted, I will send you an invoice via PayPal or Square based on your preference. The invoice can be done one of 2 ways, either pay in full up front, or pay half before and half after completion.

Publishing - I will not publish the commission unless I have your express permission to do so. If it is published, you can choose to be tagged in it or not.

Receiving the document - I will send you a PDF file with your completed commission.

Altering a finished commission - If there is something you want changed about the commission for any reason, I will do so and send you the new version. If the alterations require 100 or more words to be added, the base rate of a penny per word will be charged. If the alterations remove 100 or more words, the amount removed will be refunded.

When you send in your request, please use the phrase 'Cybernetix is the future' as a pass code so I know you have read through this and understand my process.

When you picked up Jungkook's call you didn't expect him to utter a desperate and exhausted "I need you", followed shortly by a deep, wretched sigh.

You didn't ask follow up questions. Didn't ask where he had been for the last two weeks, why he didn't answer you texts or calls. Simply because you know exactly how he must feel like if he calls you because he feels vulnerable and helpless. And you'll always be there for him whenever needs you.

20 minutes later and you're knocking on his door. He doesn't open immediately, but once he does you're left with a very confusing picture.

Jungkook has a tiny, sleeping baby in his arms.

"She just fell asleep, please don't make too much noise," Jungkook whispers.

You close the door as you enter his apartment, your eyes not leaving the small baby girl in his arms.

The second thing you notice is how tired Jungkook looks like. His hair is a mess, you can see the dark bags under his eyes from a distance.

You don't notice the state of his apartment - messy, unorganised and chaotic - until later, you are too distracted fixing your attention on Jungkook's big arms carrying a tiny human. His tattooed arm is supporting her neck while his other hand is placed on her back.

Jungkook walks down the hallway and you follow him.

"Are you a babysitter now? What have I missed?"

Jungkook enters his gaming/home gym room and the slight jocularity that had spread through you disappears as soon as you take a look around the room.

There's a crib. In his room. Where his whole gaming set up was supposed to be.

Jungkook bends down, softly placing the little girl inside the crib. He saunters back to you, leaving the door ajar.

"Who's baby is that?" you inquire. The answer should be obvious but it can't be.

With a deep stare into you eyes he says, "It's my baby." He closes his eyes, seemingly aware of how bizarre and sudden this must sound for you.

You blink once, twice. But you don't know what to say.

Jungkook starts walk towards his living room and you're right behind him.

"I...I haven't seen you for two weeks now and you...you have a baby?"

He leans against the back of his couch and you halt in front of him.

"God, I know how fucking absurd this looks like. I mean, I didn't know either."

Your brows instantly go up at this. "What? What do you mean you didn't know either?"

"I-" He ruffles his hair, eyes cast down before he continues a moment later. "Sora showed up, like two weeks ago, with Nabi in a car seat and told me that she'd been pregnant after we broke up and..." Jungkook trails off, one of his hands forming into a fist. "She said she thought the baby was from her boyfriend - or ex-boyfriend now, I don't fucking know - but after Nabi was born he insisted on taking a paternity test. He wasn't Nabi's dad."

Your mouth hangs open. "Are you sure that you're...?"

"She promised. Sora promised she hadn't been with any other men." Jungkook continues, "She was crying. And I told her that we should talk about this, discuss things. But she wouldn't listen. She said she couldn't do this alone, said that she had tried but everything became too much for her. And then she left. She fucking left me alone with a baby. I didn't have food, or clothes or diapers or anything."

"I was...I didn't know what to do. I called Sora. Hundredths of times. She didn't pick up once. I messaged her, asked her to help me, told her that we could somehow figure this out. But she blocked me. She fucking blocked me!"

"Fuck, Sora left without even telling me Nabi's name!" He raises his hands in the air, his anger taking over. "I only found out because she put the birth certificate in that stupid baby car seat."

You see the tears shining in his eyes, but you stay quiet, allowing him to continue his rant.

"And then I went to the store to buy her stuff. I bought diapers and clothes and formula. But then this lady told me I wasn't allowed to buy more than two boxes of formula, which, what the fuck? I don't fucking understand that."

"You know, I thought, I though maybe I could handle this. But I just - I can't, y/n. I swear I tried. I tried so fucking hard to be a good dad but this, this won't work. I don't - I don't know what to do anymore. I haven't showed up at work since she's here. I could hire a babysitter, but shit, you saw how small she is? I'm not letting Nabi alone with a fucking stranger. She is my...I can't do that."

A single tear rolls down his cheek. "Hey," you whisper softly, a hand traveling up his face to swipe his tear away.

"I tried to be good. I tried everything, y/n. But she's always crying and screaming and I don't know what to do anymore. I'm exhausted."

"It's okay," you tell him, wiping away another tear. "We can figure this out together."

In that moment, Nabi's wailing is heard from her room. You stop Jungkook before he can move to get her.

"I'll get her. You can stay here."

Once you're in Nabi's room you scoop her up in your arms. "Hi Nabi," you coo. You sway her in your arms and she slowly calms down. She's still awake though, watching you with her big eyes. They look similar to Jungkook's.

As you look around the room you can't help but think about how ridiculous it looks. There's a treadmill, a power rack and a pec deck machine and then there's a wooden crib in the corner. How lovely.

"You're not gonna leave that room like that, are you?" You ask as you walk back and sit down next to Jungkook on the couch, Nabi still in your arms.

"I'll renovate that room. I just haven't had time for that yet."

You look down at Nabi, her eyes slowly falling shut. "How old is she?"

"Almost 4 weeks." Jungkook gazes at you both. "Her cuteness makes up for the restless nights she gives me."

You look at him and notice the redness in his eyes. You don't know if it's because of the lack of sleep or because he just cried a little. Nonetheless, he looks exhausted as hell and you feel sorry for him. He shouldn't have to do this all by himself."

"Thank you for coming."

"I'll always be here when you need me." With a soft smile adorning your face you try to tame his unkempt hair. "How are you feeling?"

A gloomy sigh escapes his mouth. "Tired."

"Didn't get any sleep in the last 2 weeks?"

He rubs his eyes. "Barely." Jungkook puts his head back, sighing deeply with closed eyes. "I just don't get why Sora thought Nabi would be better off with me. I'm fucking miserable at this. I'm alone and supposed to raise a child? A baby ? This- this is not gonna fucking work."

"Hey," you frown and nudge him lightly on the shoulder. "You have me." You scoot closer to him. "You'll always have me."

He doesn't look assured yet, so you add, "We can do this together, Koo. You don't have to be alone. We'll go through this together. You and me. Just like always." You give him an encouraging smile and you see the hope  slowly springing up in his sad eyes.

"You'd to that?" he inquires. "You'd to this with me?" His voice is quiet, almost like he's afraid to ask that question.

"I'm not leaving you. Not ever."

"You're like-" He pauses, brooding over his next words. "You're the best thing that has ever happened to me."

Your whole body gets drowned in a silly, euphoric feeling. A shy smile appears on your face.

"Get some rest. I'll be here for the whole time." Looking down at the tiny girl in your arms you say, "I'll take good care of her."

Jungkook gets up and stands in front of you. "Thank you," he whispers. Gently, he cups your face with his big hands. His thumbs slowly skim over your skin. "I don't deserve you." Jungkook leans down, pressing a feather light kiss to your forehead.

You cleaned Jungkook's whole apartment. It was a mess when you got here and now every thing is tidy again. Hopefully it'll stay like this.

Now it's 2am, Nabi is in a deep slumber after you fed her, and you need to go home.

You don't want to leave without letting Jungkook know. Slowly, you open his bedroom door. He lies on his stomach, limbs outstretched and fast asleep, just like his little girl in the next room.

You knock on the door. "Jungkook?"

He tosses in his bed but contrary to your expectations, he immediately rises from the bed, stumbling on his feet as he strides towards you.

"Everything good?" he makes sure, voice groggy.

"Yeah, everything's fine. Nabi's asleep and I've tidied up your apartment. I don't think I've ever seen it this clean," you chuckle.

A weak smile falls on Jungkook's lips. "You're the best," he mutters, pulling you into a hug. He rests his chin on your head and slowly sways to the left and right with you. "You're the the best," he repeats, his nose rubbing against your hair and inhaling deep. "And you smell good."

You giggle. "And you're drunk on sleep." You push him back by the chest, leaning away a little. "I think I should go now."

"No, no no. What are you talking about?" A slight frown settles on his features. "You can stay here." He pauses, then adds, a little softer, "I need you to stay over. Please?"

Before you realise it, you're already nodding.

And then Nabi starts crying. She cried a lot while you were cleaning up Jungkook's apartment, but never for too long, somehow she always calmed down when she was in your embrace.

"I'll get her," Jungkook says. "I think she got used to sleeping in my bed at night."

He leaves the room to get Nabi and you're left with a slight pout on your lips, the thought of Jungkook sleeping with teeny tiny Nabi in his big bed making your heart clench.

Not soon after you're dressed in something comfier and have brushed your teeth. You slide into the bed, Nabi already in the middle of the bed, close to Jungkook. Despite her loud cries from earlier, she seems to be fast asleep again.

"She's so tiny," you say, brushing over her soft cheek with your finger.

"Thanks for staying with me."

You look over at Jungkook, smiling. "Of course."

Jungkook pecks your cheek, whispering the softest "Love you" you've ever heard.

"Love you too, new baby daddy."

Jungkook grimaces. "Don't call me that."

"But that's what you are now," you point out.

"Well, then you're my baby mama."

Now you're the one grimacing. "Ew. That sounds awful."

"But that's what you are now," he mimics you.

You roll your eyes. "Just go back to sleep please."

"The come closer. Why the fuck are you so far away." Jungkook grabs your waist and draws you closer.

"I don't wanna crush Nabi."

But Jungkook is having none of that. He grabs your calve, pulling your leg over his body. "Now I can go to sleep." He slides an arm across Nabi, placing it on your hip.

You nuzzle your face into the pillow that smells of him. "Good night."

"Good night, baby."

Time is flying before my eyes, I cannot believe one of my favorite high-school era movies is now 20 years old with today’s entry for 1999’s Detroit Rock City (trailer). 1999 was an influential year for then-16-year old Dale with fond memories at the theater that year like The Matrix, Fight Club, Office Space, South Park, Payback and yes, even Go! I vividly remember my high school friend Rich and I being the sole people in the theater for Detroit Rock City and once we realized that a few minutes into the film, we then jumped at the opportunity to snag the pair of the far more comfortable handicap seats in the theater. Rich and I were somehow tamer version of the four high-school rebels who will overcome all odds put in their path to see their favorite band KISS, circa 1978 when KISS fever was running wild! Hawk (Edward Furlong), Jam (Sam Huntington), Trip (James DeBallo) and Lex (Giuseppe Andrews) are ardent KISS fans and even do routine garage-band jam sessions under the moniker, ‘Mystery.’ The opening features a fantastic Mystery rock session of them butchering I Wanna Rock N Roll All Night and setting the stage for all four being hyped to finally see KISS in concert. Obstacles are in their way however as Jam’s super-Christian mother (Lin Shaye) finds and burns their tickets and now the four must persevere on a road trip to Detroit and promise each other that no matter what they will find a way into that KISS concert.

I forgot how fast Detroit Rock City moved, it is only a 90 minute film and nearly the entire back half is the four arriving in Detroit and agreeing to split up with each Mystery-member going on their own mini-adventure to find a way at scoring KISS tickets. There is a lot of fun setup in the opening half, especially a couple fun high school hallway chase scenes and a delightful encounter with a pair of disco thugs, but the back half where the four split up is where the film shines. Jam bumps into an old classmate Beth (Melanie Lynskey), but not before bumping into his protesting mother. Lex gets into all kinds of mischief trying to sneak in backstage, Trip lives up to his name by attempting to beat up a little kid for tickets while Hawk enters a strip-dance contest in hopes of winning enough cash to get tickets from a scalper. All four paths go wildly off course, and when the four reconvene for one last ditch plan of scoring tickets I nearly lost it all over again watching the resulting plan unfold. I feel obligated to give props to the 70s rock tribute soundtrack. This can easily be a substitute for the next Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, and this is one of only several movie soundtracks I own, but for good reason! Rest assured, it is not a slapped together best of KISS album, as the film’s featured band only has three songs in the soundtrack. The other 12 songs are a nice variety of classic rock jams and all-new covers. Everclear covers The Boys are Back in Town while Thin Lizzy themselves have Jailbreak included. Pantera has an awesome rendition of Cat Scratch Fever while Marilyn Manson reels in his own take on Highway to Hell. Black Sabbath’s Iron Man kicks in at one of my favorite scenes in the movie, and yes KISS’s Detroit Rock City is here in all its glory.

The original DVD release of this was one of several DVDs I purchased while eagerly awaiting the months leading up to the PS2 launch. It and the Fight Club DVDs were what turned me into a bonus features junkie with both having slick menus and loaded with extras. I am glad all the original DVD extras were carried onto the BluRay, but a little bummed at the lack of any BluRay exclusives. A quick thrown together panel with the cast and crew looking back many years later on the film I would have loved. As it stands, the returning extras are not slim picking by any means. There are 18 minutes of deleted scenes worth diving into to see interesting extended takes on several scenes and the only scene to a super-secret second movie they were going to make during downtime, but never panned out. Other bonus features highlights include an instructor teaching how to play I Wanna Rock N Roll All Night in under 10 minutes, alternate angles of the opening and closing scenes, a pair of music videos and two unique behind-the-scenes videos. Looking into the Sun features some wild editing as the four main cast members borrows a camera and films them goofing off intermittently throughout the production. Misc Shit is a longer, 37 minute all-encompassing making of feature interviewing the cast, crew and Gene Simmons too! Topping it off is three feature-length audio commentaries. Director Adam Rifkin is solely on one, several cast and crew members are stitched together from several recorded interviews in another, and all four members of KISS are interviewed separately in 15-20 minute chunks for the final commentary. I bounced between all three on my second viewing which was a fascinating experience, especially the way the interviews were kind of pasted together in some of the commentary tracks. Highlights from the commentaries include displeasure of not landing Jonathon Taylor Thomas in the lead role, KISS members reflecting back on their first film from 1978 and Rifkin fighting against the studio’s orders to edit down the film to a PG-13 rating. Despite lack of new extras, the recycled bonuses are well worth checking out again.

This movie hit at the perfect time for me which is why I have been raving about it throughout this whole entry. After seeing it initially with Rich, I watched my DVD copy several times in the following years after turning my brother onto the film. I am not a diehard KISS fan by any means, but you do not have to be to enjoy this film. I resonate with it on many levels because I can relate to the fandom of doing anything to see some of my favorite bands in my teenage years and how those first concerts I saw felt like mind-blowing experiences. Detroit Rock City nails that feeling to a T and the whole trek to get there is a journey as riveting as the final destination, and because of that I can only give Detroit Rock City my highest recommendation!
