Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia Current Resources List

Just found out that, sadly and unfortunately, the Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia (DFFOO) mobile game will discontinue or end its service on February 29, 2024.

That announcement came as a shock. Really wish that wasn't true. Wish the game wasn't ending at all.

I talk more about that in another post, but for this one, I wanted to list down the current resources and such that I have in DFFOO.

Want to take as many screenshots as I can, before it all ends, for the memories.

Current Gems in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia

When we got the end of service announcement news in the game, currently have 1323560 gems on hand. Haven't tried to empty out my gift box in a while so might have a few more gems in there too. Definitely have a lot more from the World of Illusions treasure chests but will talk more about that later.

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia is really generous. We also get free draws pretty often. And the pulling rates don't seem all that bad either. All this helps with saving resources.

It's also not necessary to pull for every single char that shows up. And it's possible to make most chars work in endgame content. Well, there are some caveats to that, of course. It's easier if they've been updated recently enough or if they can provide some utility or something.

Anyway, I've since come to realize that I've maybe been a bit too stingy when it comes to using my resources in this game. Like I use my tickets often and freely enough but I almost always reserve my gems for pulling for chars who I really want to have.

Sometimes, I also decide not to fully build a char even if I have all of their gear just because I don't think I'll be using them all that much, or I don't feel like I need them, or even just because I don't feel like it. LOL.

Heck, there are even times when I use my tickets on a banner then don't bother to build the char I just pulled for even if I managed to get their gear.

Been saving for upcoming chars and upgrades but sadly, with the game ending soon, we're no longer gonna get those chars and upgrades.

Ended up skipping a number of banners (although still threw a couple hundred tickets for some of these anyway) in favor of saving for future upcoming ones. For instance, was really looking forward to chars like Angeal Hewley from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (#ad).

Basically, if it's a char I really want to have, then I make sure to get them. Otherwise, if I don't mind missing out on them or if I don't feel like I need them or don't think I'll be using them much or at all, then I just use my tickets and hope to get lucky or skip the banner entirely.

I don't regret this. I like being able to pull for who I want as well as being able to use the chars who I like or feel like bringing to a fight. Been able to complete all the time limited content we've had so far even if I don't pull for and build all the chars who show up. At least as far as I can remember anyway.

Since the holidays are coming up, I've been wondering if we were going to get a Global-first char or new weapon for an already existing char. Assuming that happens, depending on who the new char or who the new weapon belongs to is, then would either use gems or tickets on said banner.

But if I'd known the game was gonna end soon, and that we wouldn't even get the rest of the chars and content that's in the Japanese version, then I wouldn't have bothered to skip so many banners. Would have just pulled and built all the chars who showed up even if I might not end up using them and/or even if I'm not all that interested in them.

Like I ended up skipping Cissnei from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and Arciela V. Adoulin from Final Fantasy XI in favor of saving for future upcoming banners. To be more precise, I did throw lots of tickets on those banners and was thankfully able to get Cissnei's and Arciela's Force (FR) weapons. Didn't get their Burst (BT) weapons though.

Opted to use tickets on those banners instead of gems so I have more resources for future upcoming banners.

But yeah, with over a million gems on hand, I'm pretty sure I could have gemmed both Arciela and Cissnei and still have plenty left over for a lot more banners even if I did end up having to pity those 2. Like I said though, ended up being a bit too stingy in this game when it comes to using my resources.

At least DFFOO added a few banners alongside the end of service announcement news. Sadly, these just feature all of the weapons that have already been released before.

They also made some changes such as making it easier to obtain some resources and such so it should be easier to fully max out chars and get any weapons you might be missing for them.

Looks like it will also be easier to complete the Crystal Rooms and Ultima Weapons and other such upgrades.

So after taking stock of all my current resources and such, will start making use of my gems, pulling on the available banners and trying to complete the rest of my roster.

Ahh, still mad and upset about the fact that the Global version of the game isn't gonna get the rest of the content that's in the Japanese version.

Wish we could have gotten the new playable chars and the new weapons and upgrades for existing chars. Was really looking forward to chars like Angeal.

Current Tickets in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia

Currently have 179 tickets on hand. As aforementioned, I use my tickets often and freely enough.

Probably have a few more tickets in my gift box as well as in the Summon Boards for chars. Definitely have a lot more from the treasure chests in the World of Illusions.

Player or User Data in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia

My DFFOO ID is 699770748. My current Rank is 1576.

My current in-game name is set as Genesis. This is meant to refer to Genesis Rhapsodos from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Currently, Genesis is my absolute, most favorite Final Fantasy char.

Been hoping for him to be added as a playable char here in DFFOO for what feels like forever now.

So when I heard that Angeal just got added as the latest playable char in the Japanese version of the game, I thought this greatly increased the chances that Genesis would soon become a playable char here as well.

Suddenly, the idea of Genesis being in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia didn’t seem like such an impossible dream anymore. Unfortunately, now that dream is dead. Won't even get to try out Angeal since he and a few other chars and upgrades never made it to the Global version of the game. Sigh.

Anyway, can't remember now if "Genesis" had always been my in-game name. I think back when I first started playing DFFOO, it might have been "Cloud". Pretty sure once I set my in-game name to "Genesis", never changed it anymore, and it's been like that ever since.

My current support is set as Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII. It's been Sephiroth for a long time now. Whenever we get a mission that wants us to change our friend support, I would briefly switch to a different char before switching right back to Sephiroth again.

Sephiroth wasn't always my support though. At one point, my support had been set as Quistis Trepe from Final Fantasy VIII. This was forever ago, way back when we first got the Summon Boards for chars and way back when Quistis was really useful for farming said Boards.

I know I switched my support a few more times before finally settling for Sephiroth but it's been so long now that I can't recall anymore who else I used to set as my support.

My in-game message is currently set as: "ore mo eiyuu ni narunda". Genesis says this line in Crisis Core. Its translation is: "I, too, would like to be a hero".

Pretty sure my in-game message hadn't always been that line but it's been so long since I changed this that I can't remember anymore what it used to be.

As for my current status or badge, IIRC, the one I currently have set was the one we got for clearing the last Dare to Defy event. I usually change my status or badge whenever we get a new one from clearing content. Sometimes, I might also change it to one of the ones that can be obtained from the badge shop.

Stickers in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia

When the game gave its end of service announcement news, there was another notice that said that they added all past seasonal and time-limited stickers (except for the Dragon Quest of the Stars collab stickers) back to the Dissidia Points Shop. A few new stickers have also been added.

Already have most of the stickers in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia. IIRC, only missing the New Year 2019 Mog Sticker 1 plus maybe 1 or 2 more other stickers but can't remember for sure anymore.

The game may be ending already but still want to get all the stickers that just showed up in the shop to complete my collection.

I like the stickers in DFFOO. They even come with voice lines. Wish a lot more chars got their own stickers too. Heck, I wish each and every char in this game got their own sticker set.

Took a few screenshots of some of my stickers as well as the ones I'm currently using. Will try to take more once I get the rest of the stickers from the shop, but I'll talk about that in another post.

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia Dissidia Points Shop

We get Dissidia Points regularly enough that I was soon able to buy all the stickers and voice lines that were in the Dissidia Points Shop.

Well, to be more precise, I bought all the available stickers and voice lines, all except for Sephiroth's Line 1 and Line 3.

Line 1 says: "... Mother... it's almost time."

Line 3 says: "... Good boy."

Just didn't like these lines and somehow never felt like buying them so I just left them in the shop. LOL. Now that the game will end soon, might end up buying these lines anyway.

But my priority will definitely be to get all the stickers that have just shown up in the shop.

There's a lot though so gonna need more Dissidia Points to get everything.

Remaining Content in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia

Already finished most of the available content in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia. This isn't including the content that dropped alongside the end of service announcement news though.

The main story goes from Act 1 to Act 4, and I've already cleared or completed all of the available Chapters in these Acts. The Japanese version of the game has like 3 more Chapters but sadly, these will no longer be added to the Global version.

At least these Chapters will still be translated and uploaded to YouTube but still. Wish us Global players had been able to experience playing the remaining Chapters in the game itself.

We're not even getting the rest of the chars and weapons and upgrades that the Japanese version got which still really upsets me. As if the end of service announcement news wasn't depressing enough. Sigh.

Anyway, I always make sure to complete all of the time-limited content that shows up. IIRC, have always been able to do this.

As for the rest of the permanent content in DFFOO:

Abyss Normalis and Perfectum

Six-Warrior Quests

Dimensions' End: Order

Dimensions' End: Pathos

Dimensions' End: Entropy

Dimensions' End: Transcendence

Intersecting Wills

Lost Chapters

Already completed and cleared all of the quests and such available in the content listed above.

As for the World of Illusions - there's a lot of content here, and I've already cleared most of them.

There are multiple treasure chests in each of the World of Illusions Spiritus maps. These chests contain gems, tickets, and Force Stone Fragments. Have yet to open and get the contents of most of these treasure chests.

Anyway, each World of Illusions Spiritus quest fight comes with 3 permanent missions: clear the fight using only certain Crystal Colors, weapons, and Final Fantasy chars.

Since these missions were permanent, whenever these Spritus events dropped, my focus was on clearing the missions that were time limited. If I can clear the permanent missions already, then yay. Otherwise, can just wait until I have more options to make things easier.

By the time the end of service news showed up, already managed to complete all of these permanent missions, all except for the following:

World of Illusions Spiritus: Ramuh - clear this quest only with chars from Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy XII, and Final Fantasy Tactics.

World of Illusions Spiritus: Leviathan - clear this quest with chars who use either daggers, swords, and/or bows.

World of Illusions Spiritus: Leviathan - clear this quest with Yellow Crystal, Black Crystal, and/or White Crystal chars.

World of Illusions Spiritus: Leviathan - clear this quest only with chars from Final Fantasy V, FInal Fantasy XV, and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.

Will try to complete these permanent missions before the game ends.

The Events tab in DFFOO includes Mog's Gym. This content is permanent. There's Mog's Gym: Novice and Mog's Gym: Intermediate. The latter will only unlock once the former has been fully cleared.

I started Mog's Gym: Novice before but never got to finish it. This is basically a tutorial where Mog teaches the players about the mechanics of this game.

Already know this stuff though. That plus the fact that this content is permanent meant there was no pressure to clear it all as soon as possible.

So although the quests here are really easy, still haven't gotten 'round to clearing everything. Since the game will end soon, planning to finish all of this already.

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia Training Boards and Force Enhancements

Currently, have 674690 Enhancement Points. Yeah, looks like I have been way too stingy when it comes to using my resources in this game. LOL.

Then again, these points are pretty scarce since we only get like 5k per event unless you get the Moogle Pass. The Character Enhancement Boards for a char's 15cp, 35cp, Ex, LD, and FR all require Enhancement Points.

Getting a char from Force Level 1 to 30 and then later up to 50 also requires Enhancement Points. So each char needs thousands of Enhancement Points just to fully max them out.

Have a few chars that are fully built with all of their Char Boards and FR Enhancements and such unlocked and completed. But for a lot of chars, don't have them fully built at all. I don't bother spending Enhancement Points for chars that I don't use or that haven't been updated in a while.

For some, I only unlock parts of their Char Boards, particularly the tiles that would give me their LD Call and/or LD extension passive. Sometimes, if it's available, I unlock up to their Force Board Echoes and/or Force Board extension passive as well.

Since the game is sadly gonna end soon anyway, now plan to spend these Enhancement Points and fully build and max out the rest of my chars. Looks like it's also possible to get more Points from one of the Exchange Shops that showed up with the end of service announcement news in case I need more.

As for the Summon Boards - most of my chars already have all of their Summon Boards completed. For a few chars, I have their Boards completed but didn't bother to unlock the tiles yet since I wasn't using them and I wanted to save the gems and tickets that came with completing these Boards for future banners.

There are also a few chars whose Boards I haven't farmed at all. This usually applies to the newer chars who just recently got added to the game and who I ended up skipping. If I didn't get all of their weapons, then there was no point farming for their Boards since I wasn't gonna use them anyway.

As for the Wild Points used to help max out a char's Summon Boards- used to have more of these but I ended up using a lot of them in the past in favor of grinding the Boards for some chars so now I don't have a lot of Wild Points anymore.

Since we only get a new char every once in a while these days, it doesn't really matter. Usually, if I actually pull for a new char, then I grind the Summon Boards for them instead of using the Wild Points just as one way to try them out in battle.

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia Crystal Rooms

Before DFFOO gave its end of service announcement news, I'd been able to complete the entirety of the Green Chamber in the Crystal Room.

Started with the Green Chamber since Sephiroth is a Green Crystal char.

After finishing with the Green Crystal Room, was trying to decide if I should go with the Blue Chamber for Weiss the Immaculate from Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII or with the Red Chamber for Kadaj from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

Couldn't make up my mind so ended up just interchanging between the 2 Chambers.

Currently, have 3 passives and 20 nodes unlocked for the Blue Chamber while have 2 passives and 12 nodes unlocked for the Red Chamber.

If Genesis had been added to this game, I wonder what his Crystal Color would have been. Was thinking it would be nice if I can max out the Chamber for his Crystal Color by the time he gets here.

But then again, I thought it wouldn't be that bad even if I don't have the Chamber for his Crystal Color finished yet.

In fact, that might actually be better since then I can bring him to the weekly Crystal fight and get to use him while working on completing said Crystal Chamber.

Of course, now I know that's sadly never gonna happen. Sigh. But the same thing applies to Sephiroth, Weiss, Kadaj, and Angeal.

Sephiroth was part of my weekly Green Crystal team so I got to use him while working on powering up my Green Crystal chars. Likewise, Kadaj is part of my Red Crystal team while Weiss is part of my Blue Crystal team.

I know Angeal is a Yellow Crystal char so was planning to work on the Yellow Chamber once he gets here so I can bring him as part of my weekly Yellow Crystal team.

Was looking forward to that as well as eventually finishing all of the Crystal Rooms.

I thought when the game gave its end of service announcement news that we wouldn't be able to complete the entirety of the Crystal Rooms anymore since we normally only get a few of the Sparkles needed to unlock passives and nodes in the Chambers each week unless there's a special campaign going on.

But now clearing the weekly Crystal quest will give thousands of Sparkles so it looks like it should be possible to fully finish the Crystal Rooms before the game ends.

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia Materials for Refining

Have lots of resources in DFFOO. Have lots of the materials needed to limit break weapons as well as the ones needed to upgrade weapons and armor.

Yeah, guess I really ended up being a bit too stingy when it comes to using my resources in this game. LOL.

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia Inventory

Currently, have 580/700 gear while the number of weapons I've upgraded is 145.

Will talk more about the weapons and armor and such that I have for each char in another post.

Summons in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia

DFFOO has 13 summons, all of which I currently have maxed out.

In the Japanese version of the game, the Odin summon can go up to Level 50. Really sad that the Global version of the game won't be getting the Odin event as well as a few other events and content anymore.

Wish the rest of the content that the Japanese version got also still made it to the English version.

Also, it's too bad that the Chocobo and Sylph summons never got upgraded past Level 20 and that we never got another summon.

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia Ultima Weapons

Currently, have 4 fully maxed out Ultima Weapons (UW):

Greatsword which is currently equipped to Sephiroth

Sword which is currently equipped to Weiss

Special or Unique which is currently equipped to Kadaj

Spear which is currently equipped to Aranea Highwind from Final Fantasy XV

Also have 725 Providence Cores on-hand so I could have made another Ultima Weapon and gotten that up to Level 4. A total of 800 Providence Cores is needed to fully max out a Ultima Weapon.

Was planning to cast or create my 5th Ultima Weapon but had yet to make up my mind on which one. I thought I'd wait for the next month's (December 2023) schedule to help me make a choice.

Like if Rufus Shinra from Final Fantasy VII was gonna show up already and if I decide to pull for him, then I could cast a Gun Ultima Weapon.

But instead of news about the next month's schedule, we got an end of service announcement so sadly, Rufus, Angeal, and a few other chars and upgrades will never make it to the Global version of the game. Sigh. Still really upset about that.

Anyway, I used to have a maxed out Fist Ultima Weapon for Cid Raines from Final Fantasy XIII and Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII. Then I switched it to the Spear UW for Aranea since I was currently working on the Blue Crystal Room.

At one point, way, way back, used to have a Staff or Rod Ultima Weapon. This was way back when Ultima Weapons had just been introduced to the game and we didn't have a lot of Providence Cores yet.

Reset Stones in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia

Reset Stones are used to remove activated Spheres without losing them so they can be used again later. If you don't use a Reset Stone and just overwrite an activated Sphere with a different one, then you'll lose the first Sphere.

When Reset Stones were first introduced in DFFOO, everyone got 3 for free. That seemed like forever ago.

Never ended up using any of my Reset Stones. Was always thinking that I'll save them for when Genesis finally gets added to DFFOO.

Because of course I'll want him to have the best of everything. So if I already ended up equipping the best Spheres for him on another char and can't get anymore copies of said Sphere, then I'll gladly use my Reset Stones.

With the game ending soon, don't need to save my Reset Stones anymore so if there's a reason to use them now, then I guess I will. LOL.

Conclusion

So what about you? What do you think about the news that DFFOO is ending its service on February 29, 2024? Are you planning to keep on playing the game until the end? Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions by leaving a comment below or by reblogging or replying to this post.

Notes:

[toastyblackcat]

I honestly love the delancey bros like they're lowkey bad people but I love them. gently holds. (some of the emotion reading may be off, idk man got a touch of the tism I'm bad at this)

I already spoke abt them in another post but now I'll do it again (off the top of my head)

So. Both their parents were out of the picture, father left them in the refuge and shit. They get paid to basically do dirty work I guess (eg. beating ppl up) because they're scary fellas yknow. They beat up the trolley workers for striking (one was their father) and as Oscar says "Guess he didn't take care of me"

Next. During Carrying the banner: the gate scene. Oscar has hit bit with Race where he shoves him and stuff, but Morris specifically only kinda dived at the bars after Race (and the rest of the Newsies) insulted him and Oscar. "You want some of that too? You lousy Cr*p" No Morris don't say that. In Jack's words, that's not nice. But. He only did it after Oscar shoved Race, making me think maybe he only did it because he thought they were gonna get in a fight or something? Obviously he could've just done it for the sake of it but still.

Next. So it gets to counting the papers and shit and it looks like Oscar flinches a little when Jack kinda lunges towards him. I like that detail. Also Oscar making that awkward ass face when he's giving Crutchie the papers is brilliant

Next. Before the world will know. When Davey is talking about his mum. THEIR FACES HURT. The way Oscar looks so sad, and Morris looks more. idk like angry? like still sad, but angry and I guess protective? Then again, Oscar flinches when Jack hits the box.

Next. Before Seize the day, first off they're idiots "We got bum word about a strike happening" (It shows Oscar smacking Morris to get his attention to point up at the 'STRIKE' Jack is writing. But also the "My skull busting arm could use a damn rest" It's supposed to be intimating, but added with the brothers past + details about actors portrayal (Specifically Mike Faist and Devin Lewis) it seems more of a defensive thing. Devin Lewis' Morris comes across as Loud=Scary, it seems like he's trying to intimidate the Newsies. Same with Oscar during Carring the Banner

Next. Crutchie getting arrested. Can't excuse Oscar spitting on him, or Morris calling Crutchie a Cr*p. (Going from after Wiesel shows up, because I don't fully remember the little scene before that) When the Delanceys are shown with Wiesel, they look guilty. Probably because they know how bad the refuge is. I also noticed about how they seem to exaggerate things when around adults (I'll talk more abt that further down)

Next. The bottom line reprise. specifically the cellar scene. They seem to yell everything "I've been polishing my favourite brass knuckles (eg.) Or when Morris bangs the press. As I said they seem to exaggerate it all which could be for two reasons.

1. They're dramatic

2. They're making sure the adults hear everything, making sure Wiesel and everyone else can hear that they're doing their job.

They could yell everything or act dramatic to show they're tough, it could just be how they are but it could also be an act to show that they can do their job. They might be trying to show Wiesel that there's no reason for him to fire them or put them back in the refuge.

Next. right before Finale. They both look more relaxed to me, like they're relived to be back to how it was where they were just selling papers and stuff.

Basically I really like looking at the Delanceys as characters rather than Villans, they're just 2 kids (assuming they're around the same age as the Newsies, maybe a little older) trying to survive, and growing up in the refuge has taught them that violence is the way to survive. In my eyes, with all the little background details of when it's just them to (Before + During the World will know) they're just these lonely fellas. I mean, all they have is eachother really. Wiesel only took them out the refuge to work for him. They were being used as goons by him and its not like they could go against him because they'd loose their work and possibly be chucked back in the refuge.

anyway. This was mostly based off Livesies (2017) and what I could remember from a OBC bootleg I watched. (I also haven't watched the 1992 one enough times to speak about those Delanceys, in my mind the Broadway and 1992 are separate characters)

more progress has been made on NaClYoHo!

for a while the list of what i wanted to do was getting longer faster than i could check things off it, but i think i am finally reaching a turning point where i am at least breaking even on accomplishing things vs adding new things.

last night I hung up my hats above my bedroom door to keep them out of the way and unsquashed. since i've not hung up most of the art in my bedroom yet, i dithered for a while on where to put them that was out of the way. i almost hung them up behind my bed but realized that if they fall they would land on the radiator which made me nervous. it is nice for them to finally have a spot that isn't the back of the front door, because i don't wear them nearly enough to excuse them getting in the way of opening the door as much as they did.

from the momentum of doing that, this morning i also hung back up the living room light that had been sitting where it fell on the floor for a few months. i finally gave up on using command hooks to hold it and just used a screw and a twist tie.

then i started on cleaning the bathroom sink, a real deep clean where i unscrewed the handles and everything to wash out all the gunk that was in there. it's been bothering me for as long as i can remember, maybe even since I moved in. it looks so beautiful and shiny and clean now, but it doesn't really translate to a photo, so you will just have to take my word for it.

i also went through my pantry and threw out anything that had expired and then took out the trash and recycling. i washed the top of the trash can, though i didn't fully check that task off my list because i still need to wash the inside. I also washed the mirrors and inside of all the windows, i'm still debating if its worth it to try to reach around to clean the outside of the windows.

i then went shopping for some things i needed and ended up spending 90 dollars on picture frames. i also got a new string of lights for the kitchen, some little trash cans for my bedroom and the office, a kit for sealing the windows for winter, and a dowel to hang up the pin banner i made for my roommate. but really the big deal was all the frames. i bought seven picture frames, three of which were extremely heavy and i ended up needing to take a lyft home because i just couldn't carry it all.

i am resisting doing anything else today because i am going to a friend's birthday tonight and im walking there so i need to spare my feet as much as possible. this does mean i won't succeed in putting the kitchen back in proper order before my roommate comes home but it is what it is. i got it in a lot better shape than it was when he left (my fault not his, but that is to say - he's seen worse) and the kitchen is usable, just a tripping hazard on account of my groceries still being everywhere.

Heya! I'm pretty sure you said something about accepting yandere platonic request so-

Can i request a Yandere Gregory where he can either sees reader as a parent figure, a best friend or both ! You can choose~ It can be adult reader for the parent or for the best friend one, it can be reader around his age ! The reader can also be a animatronic or just a human like him!

•Yes your honour, I did make the banner last second and I am a part of "Gregory is a menace" cult.

•Me trying to pull myself together and finally write for this kid so it's a little bad.

•I wanted the reader to be around his age first but then decided on an adult reader who works at the Pizzaplex and sorta takes care of the kids that are alone.

  ───────•°˖~❉᯽❉~˖°•─────── 

Somehow you ended up as the weird kid's best friend, in fact he's more like your child because you haven't seen neither his parents nor his older siblings around.

You ended up sharing some candy with him one day because he looked lonely in the crowd.

"What? For me...?"

The shock and suspicion on his face broke your heart, like was this kid being abused? But after he realized there wasn't anything wrong with the candy he just wanted more.

Honestly you just kept giving them to him every time you met because of how happy he gets.

Maybe he sneaks in so that's why you never see any adults around him.

You didn't mean to end up getting dragged around by Gregory all the time the second he grabs a hold of your hand 

"Come on [Y/N]! I wanna see the new games they added to the arcade! Huh? Of course you'll play with me!"

Gregory finally got his first friend! Obviously he's going to want to spend every second of their time together.

And for some reason he feels safe enough with you, like if he hides behind you nothing will hurt him.

"I think I've heard the others say something about this... A parent?"

Honestly he forgets about all his plans and just follows you around all day from now on.

He's getting mistaken for your child you took to work with you.

First Gregory was satisfied with you being his -only- best friend but now he wants you to be his parents.

Remember how I said your job was to take care of some young kids who don't have their parents around for the moment? Yeah you can't do that anymore, only Gregory deserves that kind of attention.

Gonna see someone holding your hand and the second you're gone the kid is gonna get pushed and probably get a broken arm or leg.

Hey he isn't registered anywhere, they can't find him if they don't know he exists.

A lot of kids you interacted with have gotten hurt- even a few adults because they went off on you.

"You deserve it. You have your own mom and dad, stop touching mine."

-I dunno why but I imagine Gregory with an axe- like imagine a crazy child with an axe chasing your ass 💀-

Then you had to work overtime because he got somehow stuck inside Freddy's stomach...

You were glad to let Gregory out of the Pizzaplex in time but you don't know where he lives.

Then Gregory admits to not having a family or anything like that and you adopt him cuz he wormed his into your heart.

Of course the sneaky gremlin planned all of this... Now he clings to you like an actual affectionate child with their parent.

If someone dates you they're gonna have to get his approval... If they're annoying they get hurt or God forbid they hurt you- instant death.

Cocky ass kid... Yet acts like an angel in front of you.

"[Y/N] and I deserve way better than some trash like you."

wordcount: 1158

Jean’s hand is tight in your hair as he holds your head still, he’s close to you, watching the way Reiner’s cock slides in and out of your mouth. “Fuck baby girl.” Jean’s muttering, “Knew you loved my cock but fuck. You’re just a cock whore, you’ll take anything you can get wont you?” You wanted to say yes, you wanted to be a good girl but you could only moan around the large cock in your mouth. 

The vibrations had Reiner’s hips thrusting particularly hard, his cock hitting the back of your throat. Your hands came up to brace yourself against his legs, trying to steady yourself while Reiner fucked into your throat. Your already dripping pussy was throbbing, the only attention you’d really gotten was Jean’s fingers sliding through your folds and gathering your slick for you to taste yourself. A show for Reiner he said as he held your legs open. 

“God damn Y/N.” You wanted to look up at him but the way Jean held your head there was no way for you to look up and see him. His words were egging you on and his moans sounded so nice and you wanted to see. 

It seemed Jean knew exactly what you wanted because he pulled your head back by your hair, making you look up at the other man. “You made a mess.” Your eyes fell back to Reiner’s cock where strings of spit were still connected to his cock. “It’s his birthday and you’re making a mess of him.” A whimper left you when he used his free hand to smear your spit over your face. “Tell him you’re sorry.” 

At Jean’s instruction you nodded quickly, “I’m sorry.” Reiner smiled at you and you felt your heart flutter, “I’m sorry I made a mess.” Your throat was hoarse but it seemed to please Reiner. Between your legs you could feel your thighs even damp from your own wetness. 

Jean’s laughter let him know he was pleased with your response as well. Letting go of your hair he moved back on the bed. “Well Birthday boy.” A loud yelp tore from your throat when his hand came down hard on your soaked cunt. “What do you want to do with her now? She’s your present.” Your whole body jerked when he slapped down again a little lighter than he did before. “If you want her pussy she’s ready for you. I’ll even let you go first.” 

Your head fell forward when Jean’s long fingers slid past your folds and deep into your pussy, he knew exactly where to touch you and how to make you scream. “Please. Please fuck me.” The words left you before you realized you were saying them. Jean had known this was a fantasy you both shared and when the chance came? You both jumped at the chance. “Reiner.” 

“See! Told you she was a slut! My whole hand is going to be wet.” His fingers kept moving inside of you, “Just take what you want from her, she’s begging for it.” 

In front of you Reiner nodded, “Yeah. Let me fuck her. Shit.” He was rock hard, his cock wasn’t longer than Jean but it was thicker. You wanted to know what if felt like inside you. “Trade me.” 

The fingers that had just been buried in your pussy were soon shoved into your mouth, Jean making sure he got your own taste on your tongue. “Begging another man to fuck you in front of your boyfriend and getting this wet for it?” he pushed his fingers deep in your throat gagging you. The smirk on his face and leaking cock gave away how much he too was enjoying this. “You’re disgusting.” 

Reiner’s hands grabbed your hips and you instantly tried to push back, your body ready for his cock. “Fuck you’re so wet.” He said in amazement. One hand was moved to his cock as he pressed the tip against your entrance, “Tell me you’re ready princess.” You preened at the nickname, thrusting back, trying to force his cock inside. It was all he needed to thrust into you.

He went in fully, his cock bottoming out in one thrust. He was big. Thick in a way that stretched you more than you expected. Jean’s hands were on your face and he was saying something but you didn’t know what it was. All you could do was focus on the feeling of Reiner’s hands on your hips and cock pounding into you from behind. 

You could hear the wet sounds of Reiner’s cock sliding into your cunt, his hard thrusts jerking your body. Your hips would be bruised later and you knew it, you craved it. You wanted to look at your body and remember what he’d done to you. How it felt to be split open on Reiner’s cock. 

A light slap to your face brought your attention to Jean in front of you. He was smiling, taking turns watching Reiner fuck you and your face. “Tell me you love it.” You nodded as he held your face, “I knew you would. You were made for it, made to take cock.” When he gripped his own cock and started stroking himself you tried to watch him but Reiner’s thrusts were jolting your whole body. “Maybe we should have you do this all the time. Have you on your hands and knees getting fucked all the time.” 

All you could do was whimper as Jean spread his precum over your lips. Behind you Reiner was letting out a string of praises while he pounded into you at a brutal pace. You couldn’t focus, your body was just reacting to the two men’s treatment. Everything was overwhelming and you couldn’t get enough. You’d never felt like this before. 

Your orgasm hit you all at once, your body seized around him and you were cumming. Again Jean was talking but you couldn’t hear him, the only thing that made sense was the feeling of Reiner fucking you through your orgasm. His own hips stuttering against yours before he was spilling inside you, his cum filling you up. 

Your arms gave out as soon as Jean’s hand left your face and you fell forward. The only thing holding your legs up was Reiner’s hold on your hips. His back was against yours as he caught his breath and your pussy throbbed again at the reminder of how much bigger he was than you. Laying there you worked on catching your breath as the two men moved around you on the bed. You missed the feeling of Reiner’s chest pressed against your back but the familiar feeling of Jean’s hands on your ass was filling that need. 

“Now.” Again his fingers slid into your cunt, Reiner’s cum making it even easier for him to slide three fingers in. “Time for Daddy to remind you who you really belong to.”

It wasn't real

Pairing: Bucky x reader

Posted: 04/30/2021

Word count: 2.5k

Warnings: None? Maybe a lil angst just a lel bet.

A/N: I think it might be good? Idk You let me know. But like frfr, don't just give me feedback in your mind, put it into words. Also I apparently have a thing for Bucky in a dotted apron soooo yeah.

FYI: time zone/era is open for interpretation. Bucky never became an avenger/soldat and steve isn't part of this one.

The wind that blew around you was warm and sweet with the scent of freshly bloomed flowers. Perhaps it was an act of kindness from some God trying to distract you from the cold bitterness settling into your bones. Closing your eyes you conjure the very memory that left you so desolate.

The sun snuck it's way through the curtains to illuminate the room, effectively disturbing the sleep that you always seemed to be craving. Waking up is always hassle but whenever you remember that you get to spend your day with the only person who tolerates you and you him, getting out of bed is the easiest thing. Bucky is crazy and the damn boy is never in one spot for to long and he always has something to say, but you can't imagine how boring your days would be if you guys had never met. well technically if your parents had never met.

When you were a child you parents had to move to new york for business and they decided that Brooklyn was the place to be. You had been Bucky's neighbor and the first day you guys moved in his mom had dragged him over with the most delicious angel food cake that he so proudly claimed to have made mostly on his own. He just loved cooking and baking since forever, he would tell you that he just liked experimenting with foods but you knew the truth was that the boy liked to eat and didn't have the patience to wait for his mother to come home.

Only a few years after your family had moved to Brooklyn you and Bucky had already built an unbreakable bond. You guys had found a beautiful cherry tree one day when playing tag and had deemed it to be your's and Bucky's spot. Whenever you had a bad day or needed time away from the world you guys would go to the tree and just pick cherries, in the winter time you and Bucky would lay under the tree and kick the trunk so that the snow would fall from the leaves. It was the place where at only 15 years old bucky swore he would open his own Bakery and to quote him "I'm serving my ma's food my way doll, It's gonna be the next best thing to hit New York."

You were laying on the ground with your hands crossed behind your head looking up at Bucky swinging upside down from a branch when he told you all this. You felt something you had never felt before at that moment, looking up at the wild haired boy who loved to eat, loved his family, and had the most ambition you had ever heard from kids your age. Your heart felt full and your cheeks grew warm as you looked up at the same blue eyes you had know for years now, only this time you notice the way they twinkle in the sunlight and how rosy his lips are. Now 7 years laters you and Bucky were preparing to open the very bakery he promised you he'd open. Banners were beautifully strung along the walls and cute retro china was set out, ready to be filled for opening day. There was no hesitation from you when Bucky had asked you to run the bakery with him, you were excited to spend your days with the person you hoped you would spend the rest of your life with.

At around 6:30 in the morning you had arrived at the bakery but it seemed that Bucky had beat you to it. The smell of fresh angel food cake and cocoa danced up your nose as soon as you opened the door. Closing your eyes you smiled at the memories that it brought back. Moving to the back you grabbed your Disney themed apron and placed your bag and coat in its place before scurrying over to the kitchen while trying (and failing) to tie your apron. There in all his dorkiness was Bucky wiggling around to the chordettes. He knew that you loved the 50's aesthetic so he found a way to incorporate it without going overboard, by adding little trinkets, a jukebox, and even those cute little dining tables. In fact at the moment he was wearing a ruffly red polka dotted apron as he frosted some cupcakes.

Apron tied, you were finally ready to get to work. You walked up to Bucky bumping his hip as you reached for some cupcake pans, "Whatcha doin here so early Buck, we don't open until 12" he looks at you with squinted eyes, "The hell are you doing here so early." "Woah,woah,woah completely unprovoked. I'm just saying cuz' you were the one complaining about the opening time being set at 8. Like damn." Breathing out a huff of air he wipes his forehead with a towel "I'm sorry doll, I'm just super nervous and I couldn't sleep so I came to start baking things. I already frosted the ice cream cakes and I just finished the pies, but I was thinking that maybe we needed some cupcakes too, even though we already baked so many pastries and stuff last night I'm worried it won't be enough."

Setting down the trays you move to hug Bucky from behind holding him close to you. "Buck I know we'll do great your food is too good to pass up on especially when it's free." You place a soft kiss to his shoulder " I promise you'll do great, everything you do is amazing you try your hardest at everything Buck, You've worked your butt off and made mine considerably larger to get here, don't start losing your mind on me now." A cute little laugh from Bucky lets you know that he's hearing you and he isn't so stressed anymore. "I just want this to be perfect ya know?" with your head still against his back you nod, "I just want it to be a special day for my special girl."

You couldn't stop the slight blush that rose to your cheeks or the way that your heart suddenly started beating three times faster. You had also wanted to make him something special which is why you had got here so early. Finally releasing your hold on Bucky you straighten your apron out before gathering everything you need for some red velvet cupcakes. Bucky loved your red velvet cake so you loved making it for him. After hours of mixing, baking, and frosting had passed, you guys were rewarded with a bakery that looked as great as it smelled. "Alright doll, I'm heading out, I gotta go get ready. Meet you back here at 12 , Love ya." He didn't even give you a chance to answer as he ran right out the door. "Love you too."

You had stayed behind just a little while longer as you perfected your secret project. Carefully you added snowflakes to some of the cupcakes because you knew how much he loved snow even if he hated winter, some cats, flowers that reminded you of bucky, and one extra special cupcake. When you finish you decide to clean up a bit more and prepare some drinks for later before heading home to get ready. As soon as you got home you took a shower and did the simplest of make up with a light pink lip. You had decided to wear a dress to match the blossoming flowers that spring had brought. Pink with a yellow lace trim and flowers embroided all over the dress, matching it with some yellow flats.

You had decided that it was a perfect day for a walk so you grabbed a light scarf and slung it over your shoulders, grabbed Bucky's cupcakes, and headed over to the bakery. You felt as if a Hundred pounds had been lifted from your shoulders knowing that Bucky had felt the same way about you. You had decided that you would tell him today with your special cupcakes. As you rounded the corner you felt giddy and you couldn't wipe the smile from your face no matter how hard you tried. As you reached the bakery you saw that a majority of the people had already arrived and you knew that it would put Bucky at ease to see all the people enjoying his food. You stopped at the window, closing your eyes to take a deep breath to prepare yourself to join the celebration.

Opening your eyes you reached for the handle only to stop at the sight on the other side of the door. Bucky stood there arms wrapped around a woman eyes locked on hers as he leaned in for a kiss. It must have all happened in about 30 seconds but it felt as if time himself had slowed it down for you to watch the way he tilted her head and ran his tongue along her bottom lip before finally uniting their lips. Your heart dropped as quickly as your smile did and suddenly you felt so stupid for thinking this could be real. You willed yourself not to cry as you allowed your legs to carry you anywhere but there.

That's how you found yourself sitting underneath a blossoming cherry tree. A tree that held only happy memories because it wasn't a place you could be sad... back then. With your back against the tree and box of cupcakes full of unrequited love in your lap you realize how much you over romanticized Bucky. Opening the box you decide it would be a shame to let them go to waste. The first one you grab has a big red heart frosted in the middle, you let out a deep sigh before breaking the cupcake right down the middle. You shove half of the cupcake into your mouth and only then do you allow the tears to fall. You sat there for hours crying eating cupcakes, watching the sunset, and thinking about everything that Bucky did for you, as a friend. You realize you had no right to be angry at Bucky, after all you never told him how you felt you just assumed that he would feel the same way after so many years. With every broken memory another cupcake vanished.

He was always there for you, when no one wanted to come to your slumber party Bucky did and he even did all the girly things with you. Painting your nails, doing your hair, watching chick flicks, and pillow fights. once he even asserted that no one could protect you as well as he could, when you had decided to go camping with your friend from class so he insisted on taking you himself. Your friend was most noticeably gay so you had assumed he wanted to spend time alone with you. But now that you think back on those memories these are things that anyone would do for their bestfriend. And that's what you realized 8 hours and 11 cupcakes later.

The moon floated above you and as it's white rays settled upon the lake you decided it might be time to go home now. You get up and dust your dress off before leaning down to grab the mostly empty box. Turning around you are stopped again by what's in front of you. Bucky stands there brows furrowed as his eyes flash from you to the box in your hands. "Where the hell have you been, I've been calling you all day." swallowing the lump in your throat you go to answer but are interrupted. " everyone's been asking me about you all night and I had no damn idea what to tell them, but apparently you were just out here being inconsiderate. You go and tell me I can do great tonight, that you'd be there for me, but you weren't." You try to answer him but are again interrupted. "You could have told me something earlier instead of leaving me there like a dumb-" "SHUT UP!" this time it was your turn to interrupt him.

Taking a deep breath you look into his eyes before explaining. "Of course I was ready to be there today, you think I wore this dress to sit under a damn tree? Well I didn't. When I left my apartment I was ready and I was excited, so excited. I couldn't even stop smiling on my way over, but then I got to the shop and I saw-" Immediately you stopped as you realized what you were about to say. He cocked an eyebrow and shook his head slightly as if to say 'Hello?' "You saw what? What did you see that would make you abandon ship just like that?" Shame flushed through your being and you could no longer keep eye contact. "Nothing, you know what, it doesn't even matter. I'm sorry I was being dramatic I should have been an adult and dealt with it on my own time. And I'm sorry I abandoned you all, but the night was about you anyways."

"The night was supposed to be about the both of us so it does matter if you saw something that made you want to leave. Just tell me doll, what did you see?" his voice is soft as he pleads with you. "I saw... well I saw you kissing that lady and I just wanted get away and ended up here okay!?" You said it all in a jumble hoping that he wouldn't be able to understand what you had said. But luck wasn't your friend so of course he did. "So seeing me kiss another person was so gross to you that you had to run away, what the hell? are you 13 again?" You hadn't admitted it outloud yet and it seemed that the dumbass in front of you was going to force it out of you.

Stepping around Bucky you pull your scarf tight around your body as you focus on not crying anymore until you get home. You distract yourself by thinking of all the love you saw in all the little things Bucky did for you. Dancing around the newly furnished bakery body against body as frank sinatra brought you heart to heart, watching rom-coms and ugly crying together, but by the time you get home you force yourself to face the ugly truth. The Love was always in your head. It wasn't real.

A new wave of tears blurred your vision as teardrops fell perfectly to the ground. "It's because I have feelings for you Bucky, and I now know you don't feel the same way." Sniffling you don't bother looking up because your heart is to broken for that right now. "I'm Just gonna need a little bit of time and I'll be back good as new like nothing even happened." Still unable to lift your gaze from the ground you decide to focus on the last cupcake left in the box. 'I Love You' is written in tiny light blue frosting letters. "I uhm, uhh." That brought your attention to Bucky, as embarrassment pulsed as strong as ever through your veins. " You don't have to say anything Buck, It's fine, I'll see you next week, on monday" you hand him the box as you go to pass him "I think you would have a better use for this than me I ate 11 others already so."

Always be Yours- 2

Word Count 5,437 *not my gif*

Story Summary: Inspired by the 2 part I did of the same title. Follows Dean and Reader through season 9 into season 10

Chapter Summary: Adaddon is back and using two hunters to draw the boys into a trap so of course you're right there with them

Warnings: cursing, fights, minor character death

Dean could hear your laughter drifting down the hall the moment he stepped out of his room. You'd only been at the bunker a week or so but you'd always had a habit of making any place feel your presence. Hell even Crowley asked if he could see you when he found out you were there. Kevin was acting more normal than he'd ever seen the kid and it was a bit of a relief to know he wasn't the only one keeping a close eye on Sam should Ezekial decide to not hold up his end of the bargain.

He headed towards the kitchen and could hear music. The closer he got he made out the tune of "You give love a bad name" when he stepped around the corner he was met with the sight of Sam spinning you around while you sang along word for word. Kevin was sitting at the table working on a large stack of pancakes and laughing at the show of you and Sam dancing around the kitchen in your pajamas. The two of you had formed a close friendship back when you were both the youngest kids being pawned off on Bobby during hunts and Dean would be lying if he said he didn't wish you were as comfortable around him as you were Sam.

He could still remember the first case him and Sam worked solo with you. It was the Croatoan virus. You hadn't blinked an eye when you refused to leave Sam's side when he was exposed telling them both that if they were giving in so were you. Over the years you'd been in and out of their lives and the day he'd been dragged out of hell you showed up at Bobby's and had a blade to his neck before him or Bobby could explain. When they proved it was really him that was the first time you'd ever hugged him. You'd pratically squealed when you jumped into his arms "Dean! You're back!"

You always had a habit that no matter how long you went without seeing him or Sam you always treated them as if you'd just seen them the day before. When Sam was soulless you helped him to track down Death to get Sam's soul back. He'd never seen you back down from a fight especially if someone you cared about was fighting.

He was pulled out of his thoughts when you slid to a stop in front of him and held a hand out to him. "C'mon Dean" you pleaded and he shook his head "I haven't even had my coffee yet Y/N" you being the ever persistent woman you were rolled your eyes then looked over your shoulder at Sam "Be a good little brother and fix the man some coffee" Sam grinned as he moved to grab Dean's mug and you turned back around to Dean with a smile "So now what's your excuse?" the song switched to "Have you ever seen the rain" and your eyes lit up when he hummed the first couple bars before hesitantly taking your hand.

You slid your arms up around his neck and he put his hands at your waist careful not to catch the bare skin when your shirt rode up slightly. Normally he'd feel stupid as hell dancing in the kitchen? Especially with an audience but the smile on your face was worth it, most of the time you tried to keep up the front of a fearless hunter but since Bobby's death you'd started to let your guard fall more often and around more people than just Sam. When the song ended you winked at him and said "Who knew Dean Winchester can dance?" then moved to turn the player down. Sam cleared his throat and looked from you to Dean before holding the coffee out "Want your coffee Dean?" when you turned your back Sam raised his eyebrows and Dean shot him a glare "Thanks Sammy" you thankfully didn't see the look passed between them when you turned around to ask Kevin if he wanted orange juice.

-------

The ease of the morning was interrupted by a phone call coming in about a busload of bodies found on a naval base. That mixed with the freaky storms and dead cattle circling that area screamed demon. You grabbed your duffel bag and the bag with your fed suit then stepped out of your room and met up with Kevin in the hallway. He glanced down towards the armory so you shot him a smile "Just stay away from him Kev. He'll try to get into your head and it's not worth it" he gave you a small smile in return "I'll stay away from him Y/N" he turned to head to the library so you headed for the map room where Sam and Dean stood waiting. Dean's eyes skimmed over you and your crossed your arms "Is there a problem Dean?" he met your eyes and smirked slightly "Naw, just you're gonna be a lot more fun to look at all day than Sammy here" you rolled your eyes and chunked your duffel bag to him considering they both already kept go bags in baby's trunk "Easy tiger, we got work to do"

You walked next to Sam up the stairs talking about the case and what could possibly be waiting.

------

When Dean rolled to a stop right outside the area that had been tapped off you slid your ID into your pocket then climbed out the backseat. You had stopped off about ten miles back for all of you to change into your suits. "This place reeks of sulphur" Sam muttered and you nodded "Between the stink and the storms.." "Mixed with the dead cattle I'll take demons for a thousand Alex" Dean finished holding the police tape up for you to walk underneath.

The MP noticed the three of you and headed your way so you pulled your badges out while Dean did the introduction "Agents Stark, Banner and Barnes. FBI. Just need to have a look around" She didn't hesitate to ask "Why? This is a military case, not a federal one" "Well that's not what our supervisor said" you interjected and if anything you speaking seemed to make her attitude that much worse "That so? Then maybe him and I ought to have a chat" Sam cut his eyes at you and Dean said "Ok" then pulled his phone out. You wondered what he was doing and leaned up slightly to see him hit Kevin's number.

"Hey boss, we got a little problem" poor Kevin you just hoped he knew to play along. After a beat Dean continued "Yeah just a local badge needs a little confirmation we're supposed to be here. How the word came down from FBI headquarters in D.C." you were glad you were used to situations like this because if not you probably would've laughed imagining how confused Kevin must be but nonetheless Dean said "Yeah" then held the phone out to the MP.

She looked between the three of you before saying "This is sergeant Miranda Bates. Who am I talking to?" She looked back at Dean who you knew by far wouldn't break before asking Kevin "How old are you?" you were started to get annoyed with her attitude when she said "Listen kid, I don't have to do anything and I don't take orders from the feebs so unless you can give me one good reason you got a couple of pretty boy agents and their handler poking around my crime scene" "Handler?" you scoffed and Sam reached a hand out to pull you back next to him as she kept ranting "I'm gonna put them in cuffs and spank your ass raw"

Her face fell at something Kevin said "What?..How did you find that?" You looked between the boys to see if they had any idea what Kevin was telling her but they both shrugged. She finally said "Yes sir" then handed Dean's phone back and walked away.

Dean was barely holding back a smile when he said "Kevin, what the hell did you just do?" Sam motioned to the bus so Dean waved the two of you ahead.

You stepped on the bus behind Sam and went to the first body while Sam started looking over a different one. "Sam look" you pushed back the guy's shirt with a pen to show the bullet hole in his chest. All the bodies had fatal wounds but they were all also long dead.

Dean then stepped up on the bus and asked "Got anything?" Sam nodded to the body nearest you "This guy was shot in the heart" "That what killed him?" he asked and Sam looked at you so you shrugged "Maybe? but like ten or twenty years ago" Dean glanced at Sam who added "All these bodies have fatal wounds but they're all old" "So meatsuits?" Dean guessed so you nodded "Bodies took a licking but demons kept them ticking"

"And now they're riding the soldiers" Sam added. Dean looked behind Sam "Hey" you looked up to see sergeant Bates walking up onto the bus with a tablet in her hands "Excuse me agents. We pulled this off the security camera. You might want to take a look" Sam reached out for it so you moved to the side so Dean could see the screen as well. It clearly showed the soldiers walking away but Sam froze on one woman in particular. You knew they couldn't tell you why in front of Bates but the moment the three of you stepped off the bus Dean said "Abaddon? Seriously?" and you knew why Sam had frozen the screen. That was the demon that had attacked the men of letters and who killed their grandfather Henry after him and her jumped through a magical portal to recent time.

"I thought you kentucky fried that meatsuit?" Dean asked Sam who shrugged "I did Dean" "Then how did she get it back?" you asked and nodded to the cop that held the tape up for you to pass. "And why's she playing G.I. Joe?" Dean said and Sam responded "No clue. Why don't you ask her when we find her?"

You slid into the backseat and pulled your suit jacket off while Dean pulled out onto the road and said "Oh I will and then I'm gonna chop her freaking head off..again"

------

After stopping off long enough for all of you to change back into normal clothes you got back on the road to the bunker. It was already dark out and you were laid across the backseat when Sam's phone rang and you heard him say "Hold on Kevin..Wait..slow down" Sam cut his eyes back when you sat up then put the phone on speaker while Kevin repeated the coordinates he'd been given then said "And she gave me two names. Irv Franklin and Tracy Bell" "Irv's a friend, don't know Tracy" Dean cut in before Kevin continued "All right, the lady said they were hunters and that if you didn't go save them that she would kill them" "Yeah heard that song before" Dean grumbled but you were looking up the coordinates to see where you were all headed.

"Dean, who was she?" Kevin asked so you answered without looking up "The bad guy" Dean asked Kevin to dig up everything the men of letters had on the knights of hell. Abaddon was one although you didn't know exactly what that entailed. After Sam hung up with Kevin you leaned up between him and Dean "The numbers point to a spot on the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon" then glanced between the two of them "Are we gonna adknowledge this is a trap right?"

"Yup" Dean said matter of factly. You turned your head to look at Sam when he asked "And we're just gonna walk right into it?" "Guns blazing" you answered and saw Dean glance your way in the mirror. "Well Y/N's with me, Sam?" Sam of course said "You know it"

------

You drove through the night and stopped a few miles shy of where Abaddon wanted to meet so all of you could be as well prepared as possible. The place was completely abandoned. Dean gave voice to your thoughts when he asked "What the hell happened here?" "A local chemical plant sprang a leak years ago. They evacuated three square blocks. Guess it's still contaminated"

"Wait? So this whole place is poison?" you asked, a little worried. "Yeah" Sam replied and you laughed when you saw Dean's hand move to cover his crotch "That's not gonna help" Sam told him with a sigh. Dean realized you'd seen him and shrugged "It doesn't hurt"

One thing you'd gotten used to was that when you hunted with them both they had a habit of keeping you between them when they could. You weren't sure if it was on purpose or not. The three of you walked further into the town then heard a slam coming from an old diner that caused you and Sam to pull your guns. Dean nodded so you covered Sam while he kicked the door in.

"Clear" you and Dean went in behind him so you kept an eye on the kitchen to make sure there was no surprises while Dean untied Irv and who had to be Tracy. You glanced back when he said Abaddon had been torturing hunters to get information on Sam and Dean. If you hadn't been with them she might have gotten her claws on you.

Dean gave Irv a shot of holy water while Sam gave one to Tracy who rolled her eyes "Happy?" she was slinging more aggression towards Sam than you would've liked but now wasn't the time. Irv nodded to you when Dean untied him "Y/N, good to see ya" "Yeah" you said then once again Tracy got mouthy with Sam when he introduced himself. You knew the look you had when Irv quickly explained "She's new. We worked a shifter job in Sacramento together. Smart but got a mouth on her" She scoffed so you clicked your tongue "Honey we ain't got time for whatever you got going on. We need to gear up and clear out" Dean tilted his head towards you "What she said"

------

You were helping Dean lay out every weapon you'd grabbed. "We got jesus juice, devil's trap bullets shoot a demon with them and put em on lockdown" He explained and you spun an angel blade in your hand "Angel blades work"

Irv took a gun loaded with Devil's trap bullets about the time Sam said "They're coming" "Good" Dean said handing you a vial of holy water. "They've got assault rifles" Sam added and you cursed under your breath "Ok, less good"

Irv looked at Dean "So, what's the play?" Dean looked at you "Give me your phone" you handed it over without question and watched him record a voice memo of himself saying "COME AND GET IT YOU DICKS" and knew his plan. You grabbed one of the cake trays and drug it over in front of him "Prop it up here" he did as you said then looked between everyone else. "Let's go"

------

All of you made it out behind the cafe so Dean looked around "We got to flank seal team douche in there so uh Irv, you and me will go left. Sam, you Y/N and Tracy go right" "Ok let's move" Sam said and reached for Tracy's arm but she shoved him back "Don't touch me" "What is your problem?" you asked feeling Dean grab you around the waist with one arm to hold you in place while he repeated the question.

Tracy's eyes never moved off of Sam "My family's dead because of him" "What?" Sam asked and in that moment you could've knocked Tracy flat just for the guilt in his eyes. She looked back at you then at Dean before saying "I watched a demon slaughter my parents and the whole time it talked about how it was celebrating how some dumb kid let Lucifer out of his cage" you looked over your shoulder at Dean and he slid his arm from around you. "Ok we got to move. Y/N you go with Sam and Irv, Tracy with me" you didn't really want to leave her with Dean in case it became a your brother did this to my people so I'm gonna do this to you type of thing but it wasn't like you were in a position to start an argument. You simply nodded and tapped Sam's shoulder "Let's go"

------

You were walking close to Sam gripping your gun and trying to keep an eye out, He had the demon blade in his hand and Irv was behind you. "Sam you copacetic?" Irv asked and Sam nodded "I'm good" Irv glanced at you then said "Good. Give me that toothpick, grab Y/N then you two get Dean and Tracy and get the hell out of here" "What?" you asked in shock and Irv explained "I'm going in there alone. I'll buy you as much time as I can"

"Irv, that's death" Sam glanced at you for help but you didn't know what to say at a friend basically asking for the two of you to be ok with him killing himself. Irv looked ashamed when he finally spoke "Yeah, well it's what I got coming..It's my fault. I was in some dive and I was sloppy and lonely" Sam glanced at you as Irv continued "And I met some girl and the next thing you know, I'm strapped to some bed and she's twisting things that ain't supposed to be twisted" "She who?" Sam questioned but you had a feeling you already knew the answer Irv saying "Abaddon" just confirmed you were right.

Irv's voice broke when he said "I gave em up. Pete,Tracy,even you Y/N. I gave em all up. So Sam you hand me that blade and you let me do what I got to do or so help me" but he had moved to the point his back wasn't blocked by any building and a shot rang out a second before Irv fell. Sam instinctively pushed you back and pulled his gun. You nodded that you were ok then you both leaned out to return fire then make a break for the diner that was across the street.

You fell in behind Sam and looked up to see one of the demon's holding you at gunpoint "Boo"

He snatched you to your feet and Sam dove for him with the demon blade but another demon popped up and knocked Sam sideways then both of you were thrown over the counter. You scrambled to your feet again about the time the third demon walked around the corner and smiled "Cool. I didn't miss the best part"

------

Safe to say you and Sam were getting your asses handed to you. He had his head slammed into a wall and you thought he was unconscious then suddenly his eyes glowed blue and he looked at "GET DOWN" "Bout time you pop up" you muttered diving back behind the counter and tucking yourself into the smallest ball possible as Ezekiel's wings shown on the wall of the diner.

You stayed in that position until the door of the diner opened and Dean called your name. He let out a visible breath when you popped up. "Fuck don't hide again!" "He told me to!" you argued pointing at Ezekiel who was stabbing the last demon in the head with the demon blade. "They were going to kill him and her Dean" "Ezekiel?" Dean asked and you nodded. "What the hell did you do?" Dean pushed and Ezekiel turned to face him "I was protecting your brother and Y/N. I thought that was what you wanted" "Yeah of course, Thank you we're just still getting used to all this" you cut in and Ezekiel looked around "As am I" "Sam's ok?' you asked and Ezekiel explained that he had been knocked unconscious and in a way still was and wouldn't remember what happened. "So what the hell am I supposed to tell him when he comes to?" Dean asked and Ezekiel held the demon blade out "Which was why I used the knife"

"Right, smart" Dean took the blade then looked at you when Ezekiel spoke "You are troubled still" Dean turned back towards him "Yeah it's just that uh. Yeah this is on me. I was the one who talked Sam out of boarding up hell so every demon deal, every person they kill you're looking at the person who let it happen" "Dean" you tried but he wouldn't even look at you. "You were protecting your brother" Ezekiel offered then continued "I am in Sam's head. Everything he knows I know. and I know that what you did you did out of love"

Dean scoffed "Look Zeke, I'm gonna call you Zeke. I'm not really with the whole uh love and well love" you were standing there looking between the two of them when Ezekiel said "but it is why I said yes" "Yeah and if that goes sideways that's on me too" you finally snapped at Dean "PLEASE STOP HATING YOURSELF FOR FIVE SECONDS"

They both looked a little startled so you took a breath and said "We're trusting you Ezekiel" Dean finally shook himself out the shock of you hollering at him to say "and I just hope you're one of the good guys" "I am" Ezekiel said then added "But I suppose that's what a bad guy would say...Dean Winchester you are going the right thing" you took a deep breath and look at Ezekiel "How about letting Sam take back control? me and Dean will clean up before he wakes up" Ezekiel nodded then walked over to where Sam had been knocked out and sat back.

------

Once his head drooped over you moved to help Dean load the weapons back into the bag. Neither of you spoke until Sam started to stir.

When he groaned you made it to his side first "Sam?" "Sammy?" Dean asked helping Sam to his feet. Sam looked at you "What the hell happened?" you shrugged "You took a shot to the head, I was about to be the pinata for these asshats before Dean decided to slide in and save our asses"

Sam looked at Dean "You killed three demons, alone?" Dean shrugged "Took them by surprise. Got a little messy, I got a little lucky oh and I'm awesome so there's that" Sam looked around and you smirked when he said "You are pretty damn awesome"

You heard an engine roll up and looked out the window to see Tracy roll up in baby and looked back at Dean "She gets to drive baby and I don't?" Dean tried to explain but you simply grabbed the weapons as the three of you headed outside.

------

Tracy looked at Sam "You good?" "Yeah, more or less" and you smiled when her reply was "Good." She chunked the keys to Dean "I got everything but guess I'm late to the party" "Lucky you" you muttered and walked around to get in behind Sam as Dean said "Let's blow this toxic dump. Burgers and silkwood showers on me"

------

After you dropped Tracy off at one of her friend's houses you and the boys got back on the road. You hadn't really said much to either of them. You were thinking about Ezekiel and if he truly was a good guy. Sam was used to the way you'd get quiet sometimes but Dean had looked in the mirror about a dozen times before you finally said "Speak Dean" he shrugged "You pissed at me?"

You knew you had to look as confused as you felt so he clarified "Tracy driving baby?" you laughed "Naw if you wanted to let me drive her you would" and shrugged he looked a bit hurt so you winked at him to let him know you weren't upset about that. 

------

Twenty miles from Lebanon Dean decided to stop to get Kevin some food. You were sitting in the backseat with your head leaned back while Sam checked his emails.

You glanced up when the door closest to you opened and was surprised to see Dean holding the car keys out to you "I really don't want you killing me in my sleep" you grinned and snatched them from him not risking him changing his mind.

-------

When you pulled up to the bunker and killed the engine you looked back at Dean who was watching you and smiled "Thank you" he took the keys that you were holding out and nodded "Wait, you're still staying around right?" you didn't stop to think Sam hadn't heard that conversation between you and Dean before he said "What?" you shook your head and climbed out the car "Don't worry about it Sam I'm not going anywhere any time soon."

-------

Kevin was nowhere to be found and considering Crowley killed his mom the three of you ran to the armory.

Crowley was beat up but at least not dead and neither was Kevin. "Who worked you over?" Sam asked. Crowley looked at you then said "Martin Hayward and Brandon Favors" "They did this?" you asked but he shook his head "No they're demons. Your boys wanted names, I'm giving names. They're underperformers. Spike them, You're doing me a favor"

Dean smirked "Wow, you break easy" Crowley rolled his eyes "Please,your little plan to have me stir in my own delicious juices? Pathetic. You want intel, I want things too. Maybe we can come to some kind of arrangement. Quid pro quo gentlemen" "So these names are freebies?" you asked and Crowley smiled at you "Not at all sweets.You can consider them fair trade for the enjoyment Kevin gave me" "What the hell's that supposed to mean?" You and Dean asked in unison and Crowley quirked an eyebrow at that before saying "He's my new favorite toy. Wind him up and watch him go" You glared at him "You red eyed bastard" then spun around to walk out the armory and find Kevin. You heard Dean tell Sam "Check the names, I'll help Y/N find the kid"

------

You found him packed up and trying to leave "Where are you going?" Dean asked but Kevin kept walking so you stepped in his path. "Y/N you can't keep me locked up here. I'm leaving" "Like hell" Dean said and you cut your eyes at him "Kev we told you not to talk to Crowley he messes with your head" "He said my mom was alive, that if I let him go he'd give her back"

"And you believed him?" Dean asked with a scoff. "He's still in there isn't he?" you moved to put yourself between Dean and Kevin before saying "Kev, Crowley's lying" "And if he's not?" he asked and you were glad for once that Dean answered "Than she's dead, in every way that matters anyways. We're sorry Kevin"

"I know you're dying to bolt. I get it but out that door it's angels and demons and they'd all love to get their hands on a prophet so even with Crowley here..It's still the safest place for you" you took a breath hoping you'd gotten through to the kid. "and we need you" Dean added.

It hurt your heart when Kevin assumed "Because I'm useful?" but you couldn't help but smile when Dean answered "No,because you're family. Same as Y/N. If you don't think after all we've been through together we all wouldn't die for each other man I don't know what to tell you. We're all we got but hey if none of that matters to you then I won't stop you and I won't let Y/N"

Kevin looked at you then slowly nodded "Ok" you cut your eyes at Dean "I'm gonna get him to his room then I'll come find you and Sam" 

-------

You walked into the library and heard Dean telling Sam "You have helped a lot more people than you've hurt" and guessed it was due to what Tracy said so you stepped further in and Dean waved you over and sat a glass of whiskey in front of you. 

You took it then sat down next to Sam. Dean looked back at him then said "All of that was then" he held up his glass so you did the same and bumped Sam's shoulder so he'd join in when Dean said "Here's to now"

You clicked your glasses against theirs then took a sip. "You both ready for it?" Sam asked so you looked at Dean who questioned "Ready for what?" "Fallens angels, Abaddon. Cas losing his halo, Crowley living in our basement"

You half laughed "Dean you invited me to move into a freakin sitcom" Dean shrugged "At least you have company?" Then turned his attention to Sam "What about you? How's the engine running?" 

Sam looked between the two of you before saying "Honestly? I feel better than I have in a long time. I know it's crazy out there but I look around here and I see friends and family. I'm happier than I've been in forever. It's just things are good" Dean met your eyes and nodded "Never better" 

------

Sam had already headed to bed and Dean went to check in on Kevin. You knew you wouldn't wind down for a while so you collected the books Kevin had pulled about the knights of hell and laid them out across one of the tables in the library. 

You poured yourself another glass of whiskey then sat down. You were halfway through the first book when Dean cleared his throat and you glanced up to see him leaning against the doorway "I figured you went to bed" you said and held the bottle out. He took it then sat across from you "I figured you did too"

He poured a glass then reached for one of the books so you slid it across to him. The two of you read in silence for a few minutes before he called your name. You glanced up "Yeah?" "What was that about?" You weren't exactly sure what he meant so you asked "What was what about?"

He closed the book and for once there was no humor in his face when he asked "You yelling at me about not hating myself for five minutes?" Oh that was what he meant. You finally answered "You're very self deprecating Dean even worse than Sam. I can't stand it" he nodded but still pushed "Why?"

You sighed and laid the book down pulling your bottom lip between your teeth and trying to get the words right before you spoke them "You're a good man Dean. You damn near raised Sam, you have saved so many people. You have a good heart and even when you fuck up it's due to good intentions and don't start about the road to hell being paved with good intentions you know what I mean. When it comes down to it there's no one else I'd rather have to back me in a fight or as a friend" the corner of his lips ticked up in a small smirk "um thanks?" You shrugged "It's the truth. Now let's finish with these books we're currently on then I think we should head to bed" "Yours or mine?" He teased with a smirk but you knew the best way to handle Dean was to give his own medicine right back to him so you quickly fired back "Oh honey I just don't think you could handle me"  and laughed at the look on his face "Yeah I can definitely see why Sam likes having you around" "oh and you don't like having me around not even in the least?" You asked and and he rolled his eyes then pushed the book you'd been reading back at you "Read your book Y/N" 

You turned your attention back to the book but noticed the way he kept glancing your way for the next half hour. When you finally closed your book to head to bed you stood and stretched "See you in the morning?" He nodded "I'll be the best looking one" you shook your head with a smile then headed to your room.

Hot and Cold

Words: 4.626

Paring: Loki Laufeyson × reader

Warning: Accident in Mission, Dominion of fire and ice and unprotected sex scene. Internal ejaculation.

Y/N didn't call the Avengers attention in a good way. It's not like she wanted to cause trouble in New York, but since she couldn't properly control her powers, she ended up being seen, initially, as a threat.

But even though Y/N sometimes froze some innocents in an attempt to catch the thieves or accidentally set off a diner, Y/N was called to be part of the Avengers.

It's an honor. That's what she thought. Working with the Black Widow and Captain America was a dream that Y/N had since she developed her pyrokinesis and cryokinesis powers.

In other words, it creates and controls not only ice, but also its complete opposite, fire. This was unusual even for mutants and this yielded many days of testing on Y/N on the part of Banner and Stark.

However, the lack of control that Y/N was not just something that worried her. She was insecure and most of the time Y/N felt out of tune with the other team members. It was too much power to control and learn to use, it was too much pressure for Y/N to handle.

--------

Y/N was alone at a diner table. She had just ordered a juice and the same came, but the warmth of Cuba was so strong that even if Y/N ordered the iced juice, it came almost at room temperature. Of course, this was not a problem for Y/N, because being a manipulator of ice and fire, it can freeze the juice at the temperature she wanted and without attracting attention.

"All right, what do you see?" Steve's voice came through Y/N's earpiece.

"Regular patrol cops. Few men, busy streets, yet not too noisy." Y/N consisted before taking a sip of her juice observing everything with description. "A good target."

"We're facing the biggest bank in Cuba, what does it mean?" Steve's question came as a teacher's and Y/N had to restrain herself so as not to turn her eyes.

"Cams." Y/N answered the obvious. "But that's not gotta stop him."

"Surely not, this guy isn't afraid to be seen." Steve agreed, seemed pleased with Y/N's comment.

"You see that SUV?" It was Natasha's turn to ask, she was at the diner across the street, also at an open-air table, just as Y/N was now.

"The red one? Cute." Y/N took another sip of her juice. Field recognition was the worst part of her training and that she could say for sure.

"That means it's private security. Which means difficulty for some people. These people are us." Natasha added.

"You know, with a snap of fingers, I can incinerate or freeze them?" Y/N asked looking at Natasha across the street and the two faced herself for a moment before Bucky finally spoke.

From above one of the buildings, Bucky was watching everything with Sam's support. "We've seen very well how your snap of fingers is effective, Y/N."

Y/N's right hand began to heat the juice unintentionally. "Are you gotta get into this things, Barnes? Shall I remind you of the Starks?"

It was Bucky's turn to get angry and growl.

"It's not helping, Bucky. Focus on the mission, you both." Steve scolded and Y/N practically growled.

A sound from a heavy vehicle caught Steve's attention and he had Sam check it out. With one of his drones, Sam scanned the old garbage truck that went straight from the bank and went to the big building at the end of the street.

"It's at its maximum capacity and the driver is armed." Sam said analyzing the scan, it left everyone on alert.

"They aren't attack the bank." Steve said and everybody went out where the truck was going.

Bucky ran to the car where Natasha also went and went out together. Sam went to Steve's meeting and took him flying to the scene while Y/N used her ice powers to glide down the floor and quickly go to the scene.

Steve and Sam were the first to arrive on the scene, there was already a small trail of destruction while Steve was recognizing how many were still there.

"Sam, I counted eight..." Steve said after he knocked down three men. Sam who was in the air, struck one with his feet and shot another. "I counted six..."

Men started shooting in their direction and Steve and Sam used their equipment to protect themselves. But soon some shots were fired and the men fell dead on the ground.

"You counted better, Steve." Bucky provoked him as he approached his friend.

"Now there are six..." Natasha said accompanying Bucky's quick walk.

The loud sound of a rifle shot echoed and the gun was flying all the way to the team's direction. Steve automatically pulled Natasha under his shield while Sam and Bucky protect themselves from the attack behind the Hawk's wings.

But the shot never came, because the gun was frozen in the air and then fell to the ground, undoing it into little pieces.

"I thought you all were more attentive..." Y/N commented, serious and with her ice powers she create ice stakes and throw against the enemies.

Sam's drone flew over the building while they were protecting themselves from the shots and managed to find the location of the people behind it.

"Romlow is on the eighth floor." Sam announced to Steve and the same has already turned to Y/N.

"How we train, Y/N!" Steve ordered it.

With both hands and using all the concentration he could, Y/N created a pillar of ice for Steve to enter the building directly on the eighth floor.

The team went into confrontation with Romlow, but unfortunately he managed to steal the bio weapon and try to escape with it. In the midst of the crowd they parted and the whole team also separated to try to capture what was with the weapon since there were not many men left. Sam and Natasha went west, Bucky to the north while Y/N and Steve went east behind Romlow

Y/N went into a melee fight against Romlow, but he was clearly stronger than her in this category and ended up tipping her off. But he before he could give a fatal blow to it, Steve came in and knocked him down with a punch. The two began to fight eagerly. Steve had lost his shield in the fight process, but didn't stop tearing down Romlow, several times.

However...

"They'll coming after your little friend, Bucky..." Romlow said provocative when he was visibly impossible for him to win Steve. "They'll frying his brain like they did in the last 70 years..."

Steve, who until then held Romlow by the collar of his clothes, lost a bit of firmness and that made Y/N apprehensive.

"And when they get to him, he'll forget about you again, because there's nothing left to remember!" Romlow said showing the grenade in his hand.

Steve automatically walked away and Y/N took her front so that Romlow detonated the grenade. Because of her pyrokinesis, she managed to restrain the fire from the bomb blast. Y/N only didn't count that Romlow, still carbonized, would make one last act of cruelty throw another grenade toward the innocent population of Cuba who watched frightened the situation.

Again Y/N tried to use her ice powers, but it didn't work out. The bomb exploded and in an attempt to freeze the fire, Y/N ended up doing the opposite and the fire spread, it ended the lives of many innocent people.

Y/N didn't know how to do it, she reduced Romlow to ashes while Steve was trying to help save as many people as possible from the fire. Bucky and Sam arrived next to help, then came the firefighters, finalizing the mission of the Avengers.

Still on the way to where they had landed the Quinjet, they were all in an absurdly uncomfortable silence. Y/N looked at the landscape from outside the car just like everyone else, or maybe not all of them.

"Really, we're not going to talk about what happened?" Bucky was the first to talk.

"There's not much to talk about, Bucky." Steve said without taking his eyes off the road.

"Yes, there is, Steve. She burned over 100 innocent people and you're not going to say anything?"

"It was an accident!" Y/N defended herself, not that she was in the mood to talk about it. She kept serious and looking into the landscape without paying attention in Bucky.

"Bucky!" Natasha scolded him, but he turned to Y/N looking from the front passenger seat.

"A fatal accident. If you had trained your powers better, you might have prevented it."

"You're the last person who can judge me, HYDRA Pinocchio." She lifted her right hand and a flame appeared in her palm. "Now shut your damn mouth before I fry you too." Y/N added, and as much as Barnes was ready to Retruffle, Steve made him sit right on the bench.

"That's enough! The mission didn't end the way we hoped, but it's over. Don't prolong that anymore." Steve said, stern and they both crossed their arms like two angry kids.

That failure was all Y/N didn't need. Incinerating people wasn't in her plans when she woke up in the morning.

Y/N was the first to leave the Quinjet as soon as it landed. As soon as she entered the compound, Y/N went to her own room where she intended to be isolated. She didn't turn on the TV, didn't turn on the radio, didn't touch her phone, because Y/N knew she'd be in every kind of media her failure as an Avenger.

The only thing she did was climb into her bed and grab her knees. Y/N still heard in her head the screams of the burning people while she could not change from fire to ice. That's the enraged, she hated not being able to control her powers properly and so ending innocent people dying.

A knock on the door caught Y/N's attention, there was Steve still in his Captain's uniform. Y/N diverted her attention to the window and sighed. The frustration of knowing that he had disappointed Captain made Y/N even more upset with herself.

Steve sat next to her in bed and touched her hand. "Don't cover so much of yourself..."

"Don't touch me! I don't want to hurt you!" Y/N said she was trying to loosen her hand. Steve held her hands and looked at her. "You're not going to hurt me, see?" He raised his hands together and no fire.

"You must be disappointed in me, won't you?" Y/N asked, afflicted, finally looking into Steve's blue eyes. "I tried to stop Romlow, but I ended up burning innocents in the process..."

"It's not your fault, there was no way you could imagine he had two grenades." Steve lowered his gaze and released Y/N's hands. "Romlow said those things about Bucky, and suddenly, I was 16-year-old Steve in Brooklyn." Steve sighed and looked at Y/N, she had lowered her gaze too and now looked at her own hands. "I never expected you to use both of them at the same time with so little training time. We don't even know if it's possible... "

"But..." Y/N would argue, but Steve interrupted her. "I already said, don't cover so much of yourself, with more training you can control it. "

"How many people gotta die there?" she asked about dropping Steve's hands. "I don't wanna hurt anyone else, Cap. So... I think I'd better stay in the compound while I try to find a way to switch. It's safer..."

Steve sighed giving up for an hour and agreed. Y/N was already determined not to act, unless it was extremely necessary or when she was in complete control of her powers.

Days later, Y/N still didn't have the guts to go out on missions and because she refused to leave the compound, the security secretary, Ross, understood that Y/N was in some kind of house arrest, so he didn't arrest her for what happened.

It was Y/N sitting in the garden, it was the maximum limit that the secretary had free air tax to Y/N within the premises of the complex. She looked at her right hand and she began to light up, then ignited her and a flame began to spread as if she was burning her, but Y/N felt nothing. She made the fire go out and with the same hand tried to create ice, but could not.

Y/N went on with it until the thunderously loud sound followed by a colorful light came to reach the garden, meters ahead of Y/N. She rose immediately, but remained standing where she was while she saw the strong light burn a circle on the earth and gradually the other Avengers left the complex, standing beside her.

"Looks like you'll finally meet Thor." Banner commented when he put himself next to Y/N.

She said nothing, just watched and breathed deep. One more to disappoint.

When the light subsided there were two men in the middle of the burnt-out Earth circle and they began to walk towards them. One was Thor, pompous and with his blond hair and short, he walked with confidence and with a huge smile on his face. The other was dark and Y/N didn't recognize him at first, he didn't seem comfortable to be there and so walked slower and with less haste than Thor.

"It's good to have you back with us, Thor." Natasha commented as the tallest approached and greeted everyone. "I just can't say the same about your brother..."

"Nonsense, Loki is learning not to be so selfish... Please give him a vote of confidence." Thor said greeting Banner with a strong embrace.

The others did not seem comfortable with it, but by Thor they decided to accept to give Loki a chance. Now when Thor saw Y/N, he looked at her with doubts.

"And you are...?"

"Y/N..." Y/N responded a little intimidated by the enormous man in front of her. "I'm relatively new around here..."

"It is a pleasure to meet you, young Lady Y/N..." Thor said and soon entered the complex with the other Avengers.

While everyone was away, Y/N stayed behind with Loki who watched her from the feet to her head, jerking her lips while analyzing her. Y/N was somewhat intrigued by his constant gaze and returned to sit on the grass. Soon Loki approached and lowered the front of Y/N, making her more intrigued.

"What are you so special about getting into my brother's super-gifted group of friends?" Loki asked curious, even if he had a smile playing on his lips.

Y/N spoke nothing but raised her right hand in front of her face and Loki's. And with that hand she created a strong flame of dense and very red fire.

"I can control ice too, but I can't make the transition from one element to the other yet." Y/N said looking at the fire.

"Wow! That is... Amazing!" Loki commented by trying to touch the flame and removed his hands the instant it burned.

"It would be better if I could control..."

Y/N's frustrated gaze intrigued Loki and, as strange as it seemed to him, Loki settled next to Y/N.

"It is a matter of improvement and this comes with training." Y/N kept staring at the fire in her hands and laughed Unbeliever. "You spoke like the Captain now."

Loki twisted his nose with the comparison, but he didn't say anything. A newcomer doesn't have much right to say anything, especially when he was taking refuge.

"I'm a freak even for my own kind..." Y/N commented frustrated when she finally extinguished her hands. Such a commentary caught Loki by surprise. "I practice, I study about pyrokinesis, about cryokinesis... But since I'm the only one on the planet that can manipulate both elements, I have to figure out how to control it myself..."

"Maybe you just needed someone to understand you..." Loki said with a softer tone in his voice, there was no sarcasm there.

For the first time in more than 1500 years of life, Loki was being entirely sincere. He gently held Y/N's right hand and gave her a kiss over her fingers. She was blusher and instinctively her hand warmed, almost burning Loki's hand.

He released Y/N's hand quickly for it and instead of fighting with her, he began to laugh. It was the beginning of a friendship between the two... Or something else.

Six months have passed since the arrival of Thor and Loki. And as much as Loki found a lot of tedious things, he learned to appreciate some things from Earth. One of those things was Y/N's company. Since they met, Loki is almost always with her.

Y/N understood the motives of everyone in being insecure with Loki, but for some reason, with her Loki lowered the whole cynical wall that had built in front of the others. He smiled cheerfully, had fun with her and helped her control her powers.

With a very rudimentary method, Loki made Y/N able to change the elements in the same hand and almost use both elements at the same time. This made Y/N hopeful of being able to finally get back to work properly this time, so much so that when she realized she could make the exchange with more freedom, Y/N asked the captain to integrate it again into the new missions.

The relationship between Loki and Y/N was not only in friendship in those six months. Loki learned that the more time he spent with a girl as inconstant as Y/N, the more he fell in love. After almost three months of living with each other, just as friends, he finally broke the pride barrier and declared himself to Y/N after one of the trainings.

She was shocked to hear about his feelings, but as Y/N also fell in love with Loki, it was inevitable that they would enter into a relationship.

On any day, Loki enters his room ready to rest. He had come out on his first mission with Thor and Barnes, and now he understood why everyone came back extremely tired after they left and battled. And to his surprise, Y/N was in his room, lowered in front of his bookshelf. She was wearing a small shorts, a big shirt that almost covered the shorts and barefoot. Y/N looked at him as soon as the door opened.

"Oh, you're back!" Y/N excried and stood up. Loki arched an eyebrow and went to her. "What are you doing here?"

"I... I missed you, so I came to read one of your books to soften." Y/N confessed and Loki came to the ruborize.

Never in his life did he feel so important to anyone besides Fregga. Y/N smiled at Loki and he couldn't stop the smile. He closed the door, and it was up to her whom he kissed fondly, matched likewise.

To relieve some of the stress and enjoy a little time together, since Y/N would be the next to go on a mission the next day. Loki chose a book on his bookshelf to read it together.

Together they settled in bed, Y/N laid her head on Loki's chest as he read aloud to her. It was wonderful to hear the story told by Loki's voice. Exciting until...

When the story's over. Loki closed the book with one hand and left on the nightstand.

"You read so well... I like to hear you reading." Y/N confessed to stroking Loki's face.

Loki gave a malicious smile and stole a time-consuming and warm kiss from Y/N. She corresponded in the best way she could, she did not expect a kiss like that and Loki's hands stroking her by the waist, pulling her closer already said a lot of what he wanted with his girlfriend.

When the kiss was over, Loki's eyes were pure lust. Y/N felt a shiver running her spine, but it was a good chill, made her smile.

"Do you like my voice? "Loki asked, the voice a little more hoarse and laden with desire. Y/N stated with her head, slipping her hands to his neck. "I like it a lot."

"You haven't heard her in a more sensual way, have you?" Loki asked, provocative, descending his hands to Y/N's bare thighs.

She already had her body in hot, not literally. Still panting, Y/N climbed on Loki's lap and practically devaged him with his eyes.

"I'm anxious to hear..." Y/N's voice was pure desire and the two finally surrendered.

As they kissed, Loki began to take off his coat, soon after it was Y/N taking off her shirt.

Loki ended the kiss and descended his lips to Y/N's still-covered breasts. He removed her bra and started sucking on the nipple while using his hands to rub Y/N's hip against her own. Y/N signed by the feeling of Loki's waking erection between her legs and rushed into taking off her bra as quickly as possible.

Loki laid her down in bed and stood over her, kissing her again and he massaged Y/N's breasts with both hands, making the woman sigh during the kiss.

But Loki needed more, Y/N also needed more. Loki rose from the bed and, once standing, he took off all his clothes. While Loki undressed himself, Y/N also took advantage of what she had left of her clothes.

Y/N went to the edge of the bed where Loki also approached, he kissed her again. A more warm kiss while Loki tried to pass on all of his feelings to Y/N, but without leaving the desire they felt sideways and he transmitted all of it by his touches. Loki's hands held Y/N's hips and pulled her out of bed.

Loki ended the kiss and turned her back on him, surprising Y/N. The kisses before fallen were to Y/N's neck and now she also felt the erect penis of Loki rubbing her buttocks.

"You wanted to hear my voice, didn't you?" Loki asked almost in a whisper and Y/N shudced in her arms, agreeing with her head. She had no strength to answer. "Because you will only hear me and feel, but you will not see me..."

Loki laid Y/N in bed and imbeded her hips carefully. Every move of Loki was delicate, as if she could break to a harder touch--indeed she could, since he was a Jotun.

Y/N cannot contain a groan in anticipation when the glans of Loki swiveled her vagina, but did not enter. But when he finally penetrated her, Y/N arched her back, feeling Loki's chest touching her back.

Loki's movements began slow and sensual, came along with the groans of Loki's satisfaction. Those hoof moans right at the foot of Y/N's ear along with the delightful sensation of him coming in and out of her made her drop a moaning. She needed more, she wanted to feel more like Loki.

Y/N chiped and gasped before taking a breath and finally talking. "More.... Loki, more... Hmmm..."

"You want some more?" Loki asked in a hoarse whisper between his groans and that made Y/N even more ecstatic.

"Oh, yes! Please, fuck me!" Y/N asked and continued to moan.

Given his girlfriend's requests, Loki moved away a little and holding Y/N by the hip and with faster and stronger moves, Loki made Y/N delify even more.

The bed began to creak as the movements got faster. The high groans of the two showed to themselves how much they were delivered to each other, how much they were passionate for each other.

Loki loved to feel Y/N pushing his own hip against his in search of more. He loved the way she gaily and that ironically she was almost burning him when he was almost freezing on the inside.

Loki felt his climax approaching, Y/N was already close to her orgasm as well. Loki's big hands went to Y/N's shoulders and firmed there, and with the pleasure growing for him, he made Loki start to rush against her with more brusquely, almost howling with pleasure when her orgasm came.

Y/N turned her eyes to pleasure by feeling the icy jets of Loki on her buttocks and fell on the bed, panting and without strength. Loki lay beside her, as weary as, panting he pulled her to her lap and embraced her.

"I don't know if I can go on a mission tomorrow." Y/N commented and Loki laughed.

"So stay... Ask Maximoff to take your place. " Loki suggested and Y/N lifted her face to look at Loki.

"I don't think the captain's going to accept that..." Y/N said and received the mumps of Loki as an answer.

They stayed a few moments just enjoying each other's affection before finally falling asleep.

The next day very early, Y/N met Steve, Bucky and Sam for a mission in Germany. They were all on their way to the Quinjet, all with their uniforms and heavily equipped. Steve was ahead with Sam, the two seemed committed to the Bucky mission was a little further behind and Y/N behind them.

She noticed Bucky looking at her a few times over her shoulders. First Y/N thought it was some silent complaint that she was walking slower, but when she squeezed the step and put herself next to Bucky, she could see a malicious smile on his face and it puzzled her.

"What's wrong?" Y/N asked, confused. Bucky kept his eye on the Quinjet where Sam and Steve were already climbing. "I always hated having neighbors, you know?"

"I don't understand."

"Oh, you don't understand?" Bucky laughed and made her stop him. "More.... Loki, more... Hmmm..." Bucky pretended to moan is Y/N turned red and all in flames at the same instant.

"You..."

"Well, I'm a neighbor of Loki's room has its disadvantages." Bucky said provocative. "I didn't know you was so noisy when you were going fuck someone..."

Bucky was going to keep teasing, but Y/N acted faster. She made a layer of ice grow from her feet to Bucky's calf and ran to the Quinjet, the fire in her body went out when she climbed on the ship, but she was still blushing red.

"What's that? Anyone in the compound heard you!" Bucky's screams left Y/N even more embarrassed, she looked at Steve and Sam to make sure what Bucky said.

The fact that Steve blushing and diverting the look and Sam smiling maliciously for her left Y/N even more embarrassed. But soon she began to burn again.

"Oh, don't you bother me either. You going to say you don't have sex?" Y/N accused her of rage and pointed to Steve. "You can't judge me, Cap, I've heard very malicious noises from your room and it wasn't your voice there."

"No exposing the others! Focus on the Mission!" Steve sentenced to go to the pilot's seat under the laughter of Y/N and Sam.

[otomelavenderhaze]

Hii Fa! If I could I would pay for the boosts too haha things would be less difficult. What you did there was some nice thinking! And it's even better if you don't regret it.

I'm sure there are going to be so many great four-stars, at least one of them is going to suit me better. Yeah, I'm gonna save for a little while, maybe two weeks more? But, I'm gonna try for sure in this banner, just gotta wait a bit more!

Was Diona good for your team dynamic? If you really liked her, she'll come back... In a year or so....

Oh, so there's this too, this 47-50... The things they don't tell you in the official statements. Wow your sister, it's like getting the perfect grade without studying, admittedly she tries hard, so she has my respect too.

Tho I don't think there's anything wrong in just having fun without doing everything, it's a game and that's what it's for! - I say, while being lazy and not wanting to walk miles in game to find chests. I really mean it, pushing yourself too hard is just not worth it. I only finished one game 100%, and after I hardly worked for months for it, I was leisurely driving my flower car, when the game crashed and never worked again haha

I wonder what these things even are... I see people talking about potions and special foods and I am just ignoring it for now, a die hard gamer routine is something I'll never achieve

So pulling on different banners has a difference in the character's skills? Did I misunderstand it? So the 4 stars are better than the 5 stars that have no proper buildings... hm hm lol this game has a way to make me confused, but it's fine

I'm almost there, I'm in Lvl 15. But 60 primogems after every course, I'll speed up! Funny story, I decided that i wanted to unlock the Liyue area, but I wasn't aware it was Liyue, so I walked up to the statue of the geo archon and resonated with it and unlocked the map! After that I pretended nothing happened, and ignored its existence to avoid spoiling the main plot.

I don't remember well, but yes he was really good, while he was alive I had a lot of fun!

Is your Keqing building going well? She must be really fast if she's quicker than the traveler, since to me they're really swift!

What is this resing system? The blue moons used to collect the prizes? Must suck to play through a lot of things that require them at once, if that's what you mean.

I always do maths for games that I care for and I try to make the smart move about money - besides I never mind waiting in Genshin, I’m cool with collecting it every day and doing my tasks. 

It’s more like... Diona is a cat little baby and I love cats xD besides my only healer is Barbara and Bennett xD which don’t leave me much space to try different things. However, Diona is added to the banner, like I said, all 4 stars in banners will be added to the standard banner, so she’s not lost for me!! 

Besides support ice characters does great combos reactions, some element reactions cause more damage and normally it has to do with fire and ice. 

My sister told me actually that she got it reaching 70 pulls actually D: but yeah, actually the rarest is 45-50 pulls. But yeah, those of 70 and that less one are for single pulls made strategically and you could end up getting one 5 stars or not!! There’s tons of videos about rating and they can explain it better to you than me xD

Yeah, I know right? My sister loves grinding, when she downloaded the game she got so addicted and she wanted to clean everything fast, because this is just how she likes playing games. I’m hella more laid down even if I do grind too. 

ALSO, besides what you said and that I totally agree on, Genshin is the type of game that you should take your time really, precisely because it is not finished yet. 

Don’t worry about potions and food in the start, the game will teach you everything about it and you will get used to it too eventually. 

No, you understood wrong. Or I probably explained it wrong... lemme see... hm... Mihojo is getting better and better at creating 5 stars, they’re learning with the community what kind of characters can balance out the game and which wouldn’t, so there are no characters in the standard banner that can change battle styles in the middle of combat like Childe can OR there’s no character that can strike a meteor with their ult and stop enemies like Zhongli does, those characters got created after that feedback and they’re more “dynamic” than the ones created at first for the game. 

Don’t get me wrong, Diluc is an amazing dps, Qiqi is an amazing healer and Keqing is good at being a dps as well, the 5-star from the standard banners are good ones, but none of them can be as good as the new ones because the new ones are evolving with the game’s mechanics, so there’s a possibility of those characters become outdated in front such better ones. That’s what I meant. 

BUT in long term is easier getting 4 stars, so let’s say that while Diluc is great and all, if you have a Xinyan with 6 constellations, she will be better than a dry (with no constellations) Diluc in theory. Because she will be having a boost from those that will make her stronger. The thing is, the number of 4 stars will increase and it’s going to be harder getting duplicates of them xD 

Ah, I’m pretty sure I did the same with Liyue LOL and you’re indeed almost there!! It worthed, it’s going to be a lot more than 400 primals in that event and you can do the courses any day, they just unlock one everyday, if you play through them all you can get them all in the same day... you just have to not miss the last day or leave it all for one day....... 

I was farming for Keqing and her sword today, I had to stop exactly because of the resin system xD because I ran out of chances to keep collecting things, so I will have to wait and wait and wait kkkkkkkk I can’t really explain everything about the resin’s issues... because I just understand that it takes way too long to accumulate and stops the player from farming enough. 

I recommend you watch a video about it tho, I really don’t think I know how to explain that one to it’s fullest, the issue is better explained from the players that have a real routine in the game and are focused on farming - I’m that type that goofy around xD

AHH, I will keep your ask about Horizon in my inbox for future reference. Yeah, I figured that I shouldn’t fall in love with any side character and not romanticize them, I got that feeling from the beginning. Thank you for the tips, pay pal!!

RNM 2x07 - Como La Flor

Apologies for being so late this week!! Lots of translating to do, and research. Mucho gracias to @queenrikki for reviewing this one for me!

EPISODE SUMMARY:

OLD WOUNDS — Liz (Jeanine Mason) is forced to revisit a painful part of her past when her mother Helena (guest star Bertila Damas) shows up at the diner unexpectedly. Michael (Michael Vlamis) urges Maria (Heather Hemmens) to seek help after she experiences a strange vision, and Kyle’s (Michael Trevino) attempt to get Steph (guest star Justina Adorno) to open up doesn’t go as planned. Finally, Helena’s arrival in Roswell sends Rosa spiraling. Nathan Dean and Lily Cowles also star. Barbara Brown directed the episode written by Danny Tolli & Carolina Rivera (#207). Original airdate 4/27/2020. 

DETAILS:

Max and Isobel both describing to Rosa how it feels to use (and control) your powers.

Isobel:

"Ground your intention.  Feel the current running through your body, your hands guiding it with purpose."

Max:

"Okay, draw energy from your spine…"

Arturo on Rosa:

"I heard a little mouse crying in her room this morning."

Escamoles - like Liz says in the episode, they're ant larvae. One article I found called them "the Caviar of the Mexican desert". 

Helena calls Liz "mi corazón", which means "my heart".

"Arturito, te ves bien."

Arturo, you look good.

Adding "ito" to someone's name in Spanish can both be positive or negative.  It can refer to smallness or also tenderness (like an affectionate pet name).

@tasyfa pointed out that there was a little timeline error in this scene.  Arturo says that he hasn't seen Helena in 7 years, since Jim Valenti's funeral, but last season it was established in 1x12 that Valenti died in 2014.  Also, remember the show is a year behind reality right now, so it's still 2019. So off by 2 years.

The reason for Helena's visit - transferring her ownership of the Crashdown for Liz so that Liz can sponsor Arturo's residency for citizenship. I did a lot of research trying to understand and clarify why this is.  Thanks to those who weighed in when I was struggling to find a clear answer. Eventually I reached out to Define American, the non-profit org that provides support to the show on racial and immigration related issues.  Here's the response:

The short version is that Liz has to meet minimum income requirements in order to sponsor Arturo, because she has to be able to certify that she can financially support him.  Since she's currently unemployed except for the Crashdown, transferring half of the ownership to her makes her a business partner and helps her to meet the income requirements. 

The Spanish:

"¿Cuánto quieres, Mamá?" 

How much do you want, Mama?

"She has a very thoughtful manicure."

If you don't understand, it's cool. I'm not going to explain here.  Feel free to DM me though! I won't judge, promise!!

Narrative thread about Max's nightmare/memory continues from 2x03 and 2x06.  Don't forget that 2x03 was just Isobel remembering it. Max was a hallucination. So when he brings it up here, it might be something they haven't discussed in a very long time.

The Spanish from Rosa on her red jacket:

"Eres una mujercita."

Basically translates to you're a little woman or young woman.  I assume the "cita" is supposed to be diminutive here.

"Mom is an opportunist.  If she found out she had a kid who came back from the dead she would use you to get to Anderson Cooper. And then she'd use him to promote her latest lounge singer gig."

"Isobel pays double.  Becky tax." 

A Becky, according to common colloquial use, is an annoying white woman, usually entitled and privileged.

Lead bartender quit..meaning there's a job opening at the Pony…hmm. Wonder if any of our characters need a job... 🤔

Maria's vision:

Michael drops the change

Flash to Kyle dropping his keys & bending down to pick them up.

Kyle staring into a bright light.

Maria shouting his name.

"My heart was broken.  Liz ended things and a part of me died."

Max's story to Valenti… not all THAT far off from the truth.

Note: has anyone told him about Valenti investigating him? We know Liz and Isobel were questioned.  Michael was present when Liz was questioned. Kyle knows the whole theory his mom was pursuing. And he just wanders in there like nothing happened?

"Try leading several short staffed investigations with the mayor breathing down your neck."

Another subtle reference to the mayor, including the election banners hung around town in S2 and his "anti-immigrant agenda" which was referenced in S1.

Max has been with the department since he was 18 - this is the first time we learned that.  In 2x05 we learned he was there at 21. So that timeline has now been further clarified. Which also means he was hired during Jim Valenti's time as Sheriff.

"I need eyes on you at all times now."

Definitely implies a lack of trust, or possibly still wanting to keep an eye on him for the purpose of her investigation (not a fact, just a theory).

Steph tells Kyle that she's always hanging around the hospital because she's doing admin work for her dad.

"I'm starting to feel like you're a ghost who only I can see."

"Ask them if they can see me. Or if you were just talking to a ghost." 

Note that ghosts have been a running theme this season with Rosa returning from the dead. This seems to be in line with that. Or are they subtly tying Steph to Rosa (I'm grasping at straws here, probably).

Liz leaves the safe on 3...but before she changes it is on 81. Helena leaves it on 78 after stealing the ring. Good continuity, RNM!

The whole "my mom hates cops" theme is a little confusing to me.  I mean, it makes sense given what we know about Helena. Except that she had an affair with Jim Valenti, who was… a cop. And also an addict.  Maybe it was different because they rehabbed together (just an assumption, not a fact). Or maybe the Jim experience contributed to her dislike of cops.

Liz...might be grasping at straws when she refers to police work as "something you love" to Max.  He didn't exactly seem enamoured by the job when we first met him in Season 1.

First time we learn Max and Isobel's father's name. And it is… Dave. 🤔

The Spanish Helena uses when she meets Max:

"Pero que guapo estas."

But how handsome you are.

"Cuidado Arturito."

Careful, Arturo…

Helena found Liz and Diego's wedding registry online. 

“Look there are medical reasons for non-drug-induced hallucinations - epilepsy, schizophrenia…”

“My mom has a degenerative brain disease. My grandma did too. I've always known I'd be next.”

Helena wanted to be Selena.

Which fits with Liz's lounge singer comment earlier.

And the "drunkenly singing in the car with your daughters in the backseat" fits with the story Liz and Rosa discussed in 2x02 about the car accident they got into as kids with Helena driving drunk.

Helena shows Liz her ten years sober chip, suggesting that she's been sober since Rosa died, but Rosa finds pills in Helena's car later in the episode.  Oxycodone. The same drug that Rosa used to steal from her mom as a kid (which we learned about in 2x04) and the same drug that she and Kyle discussed when he was checking her health in 2x01.

During Helena's toast to Rosa:

Preciosa = precious

Rosa Linda… still not sure personally if this is a continuity error or a pet name.  I’m inclined to go with a pet name. Throughout the whole episode Helena uses lots of pet names, nicknames, diminutives to address people. Rosa Linda may be just another version of this since Rosa's middle name was pretty well established as Helena in Season 1 between her grave, memorial pamphlet, etc.

Kyle calls attention to Steph's bandage on her arm.  She says she gave blood, but it feels like she's evading.

Also she calls him McDreamy, which is a Grey's Anatomy reference. Kyle called himself McSexy (another Grey's nickname) in 1x08 as well.

Note: I've seen some people talk about the speech about his sick friend as being about Maria, but I think he's really talking about Steph.  Or both, vaguely. He's certainly trying to get Steph to open up to him. Here's what he says:

"I just found out a friend of mine is sick. And I can't do anything to help her. And I hate feeling helpless."

Only after Steph puts her walls back up, does he gesture to Mimi's files.

The Spanish:

"Oh, ándale, gùero."

Ándale is like, go! Or let's go! Gùero we discussed earlier...basically white boy.

Por favor - please 

Rosa's art that we first saw in 2x05 now looks finished:

Isobel's graffiti "In Pod We Trust"

Both Isobel and Rosa's graffiti:

Isobel's assessment of Rosa's art

"That's a black hole. An unstoppable force of destruction. And it's getting closer. I see a girl looking into her own doom. She thinks it's inevitable, that she can't stop it, but she can. See, she created it. That means she can destroy it."

Rosa on Isobel's efforts to help her:

"You and Max, you keep talking about harnessing emotion and grounding myself, right? But I can't do that.  It is in my DNA to be screwed up. Literally. My mom's mentally ill. So, so am I. I was broken long before Noah did what he did. That's why he chose me to prey on.  That's probably why he chose you too."

Maria on her grandmother:

"When I was a child my Grandma Patty was the only adult who understood my make-believe world. Thing is, I was six.  So my favorite things about her were just illness, I guess…"

Maria on her mom:

"She was always kind of out there.  By the time I realized it was more than that, I just became obsessed with money. Wanted to be able to take care of her. I invested everything Grandma Patty left me, and I worked, scrounged.  It was about three days after my mom was finally fired from her job at the Pony, I bought the place."

Maria's blood does not contain the alien protein that Kyle found in the Pod Squad and Rosa after being in the Pod for a decade. (and yes, he actually said Pod Squad, which feels like an OG fandom victory)

"Look, there is one thing I noticed in your grandmother's file. Her insurance company is the same one that paid for my dad's cancer treatments...My dad got cancer because of an alien incident at Caulfield Prison. A fake insurance company established by Project Shepherd covered his bills."

"Okay so my grandmother got sick at the same alien prison where your mother died?"

More Spanish (there's lots of it this week).

Helena, when she gestures to the present:

"Abre tu regalo."

Open your gift.

Quinces is just slang for Quinceanera.

Just in case you're not familiar with quinceaneras (Liz's was also referenced in 1x02).

"Mija, me enseñas tus prom photos?"

Daughter, show me your prom photos.

Regarding the power outage.  Liz thought it was Max. Max thought it was Rosa. But the wire is frayed, like it was cut or chewed through. So it wasn't alien power related.  When Arturo finds the wire though, he says, "Must have been a little mouse." Which is how he referred to Rosa earlier in the episode. So the question is, does he actually think it was a mouse? Or does he think Rosa cut the wire? And if Rosa did cut the wire, then why? To distract them while she goes after her mom's car?

In the big Liz/Helena argument, Helena calls Max “a güerito cop”.  Güero means white person, similar to the more commonly used gringo.  But by adding the “ito” onto the end (like discussed before), Helena is basically diminuitizing Max.  She’s using the “smallness” above to basically imply that he’s some white nobody.

“I may not be the PTA mom who made cookies for bake sales or hosted sleepovers, but I sacrificed everything to come to this country to give you a better life.”

This is...not actually true.  Liz and Rosa are both natural born U.S. citizens, born in Roswell.  So she didn’t “come to this country” for that reason. She was already here when Liz and Rosa came into the picture.  And it’s not like she came pregnant with Rosa or anything, since Rosa is Jim Valenti’s daughter.

The ring that Helena took was ARTURO'S mother's ring.  It wasn't even Helena's family's heirloom.   

Liz and Arturo sharing flan for dessert.  At the start of the episode before Helena arrived they discussed making flan for Rosa.

Arturo admits that he always knew the truth about Rosa's heritage. (*fistpump* that's one of my headcanons coming true). 

"Rosa es mi hija, siempre y para toda la vida."

Rosa is my daughter, always and for life.

"Maybe you're right. I am playing the hero. Just like you're playing the politician's perfect arm candy.  See, I did a little digging. And your boyfriend, Dirk-- he ran for city council. It's very impressive. But there's no mention of your daughters. I'm guessing Dirk doesn't even know about Liz or Rosa.  Does he know anything about you, Helena? 'Cause it would be such a shame if he found out about a little town called Roswell."

Helena gives Max the ring, but keeps the box… maybe that's what Helena really wanted?

Huevos = eggs.  Basically, slang for balls.

"I know that face.  You uncovered a massive conspiracy."

"I checked the Caulfield drives. No sign of a Patricia DeLuca, but there was a Patricia Harris. Her maiden name. She signed up to participate in an experimental trial. Government was interested in weaponizing alien abilities. They wanted to create super soldiers. Your grandma was one of the first human subjects."

"Kind of wish I was an alien instead."

"What happened to the experiment?"

"It was a total failure. Caulfield shut it down in the '70s after people started dying. I don't understand how your grandmother got involved."

"I do. Henrietta Lacks, Tuskegee, Holmesburg.  The DeLucas aren't the first black people to be secretly experimented on."

Highly encourage you to read these if you're unfamiliar with any of these references.  It's African-American history (and really a black mark on U.S. history) that's rarely taught in schools.

Henrietta Lacks:

Tuskegee:

Holmesburg:

Reality versus Maria's flashes… great gifset by @rosaortecho on this here:

Kyle rips his jacket, staggers out to the parking lot, drops his keys, and is almost hit by a car, but Michael throws him out of the way with his powers (and Kyle still ends up injured because he lands on a glass bottle).

"Now that we know your illness is related to Caulfield we can find a cure for it."

"Maybe it's not an illness. I saw the future today, Guerin. When I first found out Grandma Patty was experimented on, I was furious.  But what if my genetic inheritance isn't just injustice? It's also actual superpowers. Saved a life today. And not just any life-- Kyle Valenti's. Tomorrow he's gonna turn around and save five more lives."

Liz and Rosa's dueling big sister act is super fascinating.  Rosa admits that she wasn't going to burn the car, and then she saw Liz crying, felt helpless, and that's when her powers went all wacky and caused it to explode.

Meanwhile, Liz has spent the whole episode trying to keep Rosa safe from Helena, and is trying to comfort her here by talking about Helena's sobriety.

But--Rosa stole Helena's pills, so she knows Helena is not sober, and she doesn't tell Liz that.  Why? To protect her.

At some point these two should probably stop keeping secrets to protect each other and start actually sharing what they know.

Kyle stitches himself up.

Steph quoted in this scene:

So... let's talk about how I met some of my dearest friends!

I remember it perfectly: it was 2019 Chuseok special ISAC and us members were participating for the first time. It had been fun but extenuating. We had mostly spent time cuddling on the floor waiting for the games we were in to start. Skitz slept for most of the time and I was really bored because I only participated in team archery, so I had a lot of free time.

I was thirsty so I decided to go look for some water. I started walking around tons of idols and, on my way to the water stand, I stepped on someone's hand.

That someone was Seventeen Hoshi and he screamed very loudly.

I was terrified thinking that maybe I broke one of his fingers or something, so I immediately sit next to him.

-Are you okay, sunbaenim?

He was holding the hand to his chest and he said: -That was not ladylike.

I giggled and then said: -I really apologize, sunbaenim, there are too many people and I didn't see your hand. Does it hurt a lot?

-I mean, I'd have preferred for you not to step on it, but I'll be fine.

-Can I bring you some water or something? Maybe some ice?

He smiled and his eyes became like two half-moons: -I already have water but I'd enjoy some company. You are in Solar, right?

I nodded: -I am Yueliang.

I went to shake his hand but I realized I stepped on his right hand. He laughed: -I'm Soonyoung. And these are Wonwoo and Jun.

He pointed at his members, that nodded smiling. I knew already who they were (I'm a fan) but I bowed again.

-So what were you doing before crushing Hoshi hand?- asked Wonwoo.

For some reasons it didn't felt awkward chatting with them and I actually spent a while sitting with the boys talking. We found out we were all born in 1996 so we decided to drop formalities pretty quick. I listened to their funny episodes and laughed so much I nearly cried.

While we were talking, SF9 Rowoon passed by and, since I knew him thanks to my unnies, I introduced him to the Seventeen members. Rowoon talked with us for a while, before Inseong called him back.

-Who else do we know that was born in 1996?- asked Hoshi, looking around the venue.

-Well, Woozi- said Wonwoo, pointing at their member who was sitting with Jeonghan. When I noticed him I blushed because holy crap that was Lee Jihoon a genius composer and overall amazing person. That day I did not get the opportunity to meet him but, with Hoshi and the others, we decided we had to go out one day and invite other people who were born on the same year as us. We heard of the '97 friendship line and we were determined to do the same, but bigger.

So this is how I ended up exchanging contacts with Hoshi, Wonwoo and Jun. We made a group chat on KakaoTalk and we added Rowoon and Woozi. The chat was always lively and full of memes and I thought I had just found an amazing group of friends.

•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•

About three weeks later, we decided to go out together for the first time.

Just to be clear, it was ALL Hoshi idea.

He sent a message in the chat with time and place and we found ourselves in the coolest samgyeopsal place I have ever been to. It was so difficult to reach and my manager got lost twice but we made it.

It was me, Rowoon, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Jun and Woozi, whom I only talked to through Kakao and I still felt starstruck when I saw him and he coolly said hello.

-Can we go inside?- I asked, -It's kinda cold.

-Not yet, we're waiting for other people.

-Who!?

-Changkyun, Doyoung and Chungha- said Hoshi, smiling in front of our shocked expressions.

-How did you contacted Chungha!?- I said, thinking about how much I admired her and how much I dreamed to meet her. And she was coming to dinner? With us?

-I know someone who knows her and we got her number- he explained.

-What about the others?

-We know Monsta x quite well- Wonwoo said, -so it was easy to invite him. Doyoung was more difficult to reach but seems like we made it work!

-I don't know if I should be wowed or terrified by you- Rowoon said.

-If you lived with him, you'd be terrified- replied Woozi, with a small smirk. He was the funniest person in the chat, even if Hoshi was amusing, Woozi had this humor that perfectly matched mine and I hoped I could get closer to him.

In that moment, two cars stopped in front of the restaurant and we saw Chungha and Doyoung getting closer. Was this a big fangirl dream? Was I even awake?

We all introduced ourselves and after a while Changkyun approached us too. Now that we were all present, we got into the restaurant. We got a nice table that allowed us to have some privacy.

We sat down and I was between Woozi and Chungha. We ordered food and some drinks. And, while we were eating, conversation just flowed so easily that it felt like we've known each other for years.

We laughed so much and we definitely ate too much. We talked about careers and funny episodes and I think I gained Woozi friendship when I gave him the rice I couldn't finish (I swear, they boy loves his rice). Hoshi was pretty much drunk and Chungha and I could not stop giggling at Rowoon that was already showing his motherly side, calling all the managers to make sure we had people coming for us.

There was a fight for who should pay but we found out Changkyun had already paid when he had gone to the bathroom. Needless to say that everyone was mad because we all wanted to pay. Doyoung pouted a lot and Jun tried to make Changkyun accept some money. Wonwoo was too busy trying to keep Hoshi standing.

Overall, it was the funniest dinner of my life and we also took the ugliest picture ever, that I jealously keep in my bullet journal. I often look at it and it always makes me smile.

So this is the story of how I made a lot of friends just by stomping on someone's hand! 😂💕

This week's book recommendation is the Raven Cycle by M. Stiefvater, which is definitely one of my favorite series (do I say this every time?). I love the atmosphere, the detailed yet graceful description of Henrietta, I'm so fond of these characters and, c'mon, how can you not be intrigued by a story that starts like “You will kill your true love with a kiss”.

If you already read this series, let me know your thoughts!

Stay tuned for the next episode! 🌒 📖

[jean-and-ali-liveblogs]

Ali, I know it's not comfortable to talk about homophobia, so you don't have to, but I was wondering if there was a time when you were ever worried to say to your family or to friends like jean that you are a lesbian? do you think things are better in Poland for LGBT than in countries like America?

(You asked easy question and I went of and just rambled about stuff, sorry. You can kinda skip the start of it and start reading from “I did go to one Pride parade once“ to get a feeling for how it feels in Poland)

Ali: I can’t really talk about Poland overall,  because I had a lot of luck, I think. I already talked about that in one post during CYM liveblog 

https://jean-and-ali-liveblogs.tumblr.com/post/182872527674/ali-ughgh-but-you-could-maybe-just-maybe-just

So, adding to that, I don’t really want to say “Poland is great for LGBT!”, because I can’t really know for everybody. I was lucky enough to find myself in environment that was supporting of me, but I am sure there are people who didn’t have that luck, and I don’t want to predend there aren’t people who suffered, that just seems ignorant and offensive. In the end I think it’s a mixed bag. There will be always people who won’t care what or who you are, there will be always people who will hate you for who you are. 

As to Jean, uh, what went down with him many many years ago was a bit complicated. The way he found out I am gay, well, it was a long and complicated and messed up story in which everybody involved got hurt. We were 14yo and we didn’t know what we were doing and I, ugh, I kinda cheated on him with a girl. And I am kinda putting myself in a really bad light here, summarizing it like that, but well, I did fuck up back then! And you know how now Jean is like “Connie and Steven should stay as friends, falling in love with your friend always ends really badly”? I kinda think that’s my fault. Still, after half a year in which our friendship was completely obliterated by us, we worked things out and apologized and forgived each other. This days we just laugh about all the idiocy we cominted when being teenagers. And Jean is friends with that girl too. She is not with me anymore, she now lives with her kinda wife and they are raising kid together. Also, that whole tragedy taught me how important communication in any kind of relationship is! That one day when we sat down with Jean in coffee shop and spent five hours rehashing everything I did wrong and he did wrong and what to do to never have it happen again is one of my most cherished memories. 

As to my parents, I was worried, I was worried a lot. I didn’t really have any reasons to be though. My mom just figured out stuff on her own, and asked me if I am gay, so I told her then. It changed nothing. Oh well, it changed one thing, now she had another thing to fret about over me! Whenever I was going out somewhere with my girlfriend, my mom would be always like “Be careful, don’t hold hands outside, people can be mean to you”. I always found that heartwarming,because it wasn’t “Don’t show who you are, because it’s shameful and what people will say?”, it was “Don’t show who you are, because I am worried you will get hurt by people who don’t understand”.

To my dad I came out by myself, but that was rather ridiculous discussion of me asking “So, dad, did you know that girl who used to visit us was my girlfriend?”

“Yes”

“Oh. Um. Cool!”

The end. 

I do think he was somehow umcofortable with that. But never made me feel bad about it. And I honestly don’t even know if he was actually umcofortable about the gay part or just “I don’t know how to talk about love with my daughter”, because he was never too good with emotions. 

I did go to one Pride parade once in my life, when I was in high school. Totally by accident. I was just in city center and there was a parade getting ready to start - which I had no idea was planned. I was just going to ignore it, but it turned out my classmates were there so I “marched” with them, more for the sake of hanging out with them rather than for the sake of parade itself. It was curious experience. On one hand we passed a lot of people who set themselves with banners saying “Homosexuality is evil”, “You are dirty” etc., on our way. On the other hand, when we were passing apartaments people were waving and smiling at us from windows, and some old ladies threw flowers all over us from balcony. So, like I said, “mixed bag”. 

When I went to Uni, I didn’t really plan to come out to anybody. But it all kinda happened by itself? One girl asked me if I am lesbian, so I didn’t see a reason to lie. She was like “YAY, I KNEW IT!” and I was jealous because I can never tell just by how somebody looks like. And since I am studying psychology, homesexuality is talked about by professors rather regularly. 

In fact, there were three situations that really stayed with me. 

One was when our lady professor derailed her own lecture for 15 minutes to tell us about her “dream wife”. She would need  to know how to cook! Because our poor professor doesn’t know how to cook. And she would love to have a breakfast served to bed by a beautiful and loving woman. 

Other one was when our genetics professor spent half a hour preaching about a “homesexuality gene” . He was really passionate about it. “We should not predend we are all the same! We are born as white or black or straight or gay or woman or man and we are all different and it’s beautiful! Why do we get so hang up over that? It would suck so much if everybody was the same. How boring that would be!”

And the last one was during a practical exercises about communication. Our taks was to “think of something somebody did to you, but you never told them about it and compose a speech you would give them to tell them how you felt about it” . 99% of the group just spoke about things other people did that hurt them. Things  they were never assertive enough to admit to those people. But one girl stood up, looked at another girl in the group and went “You are always there for me, and I appreciate you being in my life. I don’t know what I would do without you. All those ways you help me through the life are worth more than anything else. When I wake up by your side in the morning, there is no greater feeling in the world. I love you and I don’t tell you that often enough”. And everybody started clapping and professor had the biggest dumbest grin on her face. 

I think that’s just something about studying psychology. We all are there to learn that it’s normal. Even small things, when we are on lecture about family and professor corrects himself “So, when a woman finds a husband then… or a wife, of course, then blah blah”

Well, I guess all that actually paints quite positive approach of Poland towards LGBT stuff. But I still don’t find myself being comfortable to talk about the whole country. In the end we are a “religious” country. It’s just that there are some places, towns, universities, school etc. that are more open minded than others. Like everywhere else. 

Bad stuff happens too. Few months ago there was this thing, it was called “Rainbow day”, I think? No, it was “Rainbow Friday”. All schools all over the country were supposed to come together and spend one whole day teaching about acceptance, diversity and tolerance. And it did work in some towns and places. In others parents protested or schools backed out at the last minute. There was even a group of people who threatened to attack or raid schools that would take part in it. 

People seem to feel safe overall though. Every day when I go outside I see at least one woman or man caring shopping bag with rainbow colors. I know of at least one queer coffee shop in the city center and I know for a fact there is more. I regularly see that one person - who has body of a man and the most amazing, well-kept, beard I have ever seen - walking around in the stunning dress and high heels and not even once I saw anybody react to them in any negative way. The one time I actually saw somebody approach them was when some lady really wanted to know where they got those boots. I remember when I was still working in shop, a client, a boy had painted nails and it was so pretty purple color, so I had to compliment him, but I drawn attention to him and some kid went “Mom, look! This boy has so pretty nails! Can I ask him where he bought the nail polish?” and the mom was totally unfazed, just smiled and let her kid ask.

So, yea, I think it’s that, even though government itself may be a bit shitty when it comes to dealing with all this, most of the people you can meet on streets are pretty awesome.

TONY'S P. O. V.

“... Tony. I’m sorry for...”

“... I promise... ever again. Not even...”

“... said ‘I love you’, I meant it...”

“... sweetheart.”

I opened my eyes slowly, just to shut them again due to the painfully bright light of the room. I rolled to my side, wincing in pain. Goddammit every part of my body hurt.

I opened my eyes again, and this time I noticed it wasn't a bright light, it was just the sunlight.

I blinked a couple of times, thinking about what I heard. It had seemed Y/n's voice, but I highly doubted it. Maybe it wasn't even real, maybe I dreamt it. "Good Morning, Tony."

"Doctor Cho" I greeted her. I had to have been in a very critical condition if Dr. Helen Cho herself came to the compound. I tried to turn around again, but I was feeling too much pain. "so... That bad, huh?"

Helen walking to the opposite side of the room, so she was able to see my face. "well, it sure wasn't a scratch." for her scolding tone, I could tell she wasn't in the mood for a joke. "you fractured your cheekbone, badly." she added the last word looking into my eyes. "you even needed stitches. You also had two fractured ribs and a thoracic contusion."

I scoffed, which was a bad idea, since it only made my pain increase. "just a fractured cheekbone and a couple of bruises?" she darted me a deadly glance. "c'mon Cho, I came back with much worse things than that"

She pinched the bridge of her nose, sighing tiredly. "you had internal bleeding and an almost second-degree burn over your ribcage."

"wait" I frowned, placing my hand over my side, feeling the bandages covering said burn. I understood the fractured ribs and cheekbone, and even the thoracic contusion. I didn't really know why I had had internal bleeding, but the weirdest thing was the burn. "what exactly happened to me?"

Helen started to write down some things, checking her tablet while doing it. "Sergeant Barnes told me your suit shut down, and Wanda had to stop you from crashing. However, she ended up throwing you into a lake." she explained distractedly.

"what about the- fuck!" I hissed, trying to sit up and failing. Helen sent me a warning glance before going back to her notes. "what about the burn."

She shrugged, turning of a couple of devices in the room. "they didn't say anything" she walked to the door, disappearing from my view. "God morning, Natasha"

"Morning Helen" Natasha said. "is he awake?" I guess Dr. Cho nodded in response, because Natasha murmured an 'Okay' before I heard the door closing, followed by a few steps toward the bed. "you gave us quite a scare."

Natasha sat down in front of me, and I just grinned. "isn't it my whole purpose?" I asked jokingly, but I just earned a sad smile from her. "how did I get the burn?" I asked, every joking tone fading from my voice.

Natasha crossed her arms loosely, leaning slightly and resting her elbows against her thighs. "you were choking, so Y/n and Barnes broke your suit." I knew there was more, so I just waited for her to finish. "Y/n had to use her pyrokinesis, and her hands reached your skin."

"Oh" she had saved me. I didn't care if I had a burn, she had saved my life. Maybe, after all, I didn't imagine those words. Maybe Y/n had come here, and maybe, just maybe, she had said those three words.

"Anyway" Natasha got up from the chair smiling at me "you have to rest. Doctor Cho said you had to stay here for a few days" as soon as she said that, she made her way towards the door.

"Natasha" I heard her steps stop, and a questioning hum coming from her. "has Y/n come to see me?"

There was a few silent seconds before she replied. "No. She went to her room as soon as we came back."

Okay, so I had dreamt it. I don't know what I was expecting, though. After all, I had pushed her away, I had shut her out, and I had avoided her for a long while.

She probably had moved on, since it was supposed to be something temporary, something passing. We weren't supposed to fall for each other.

But I had fallen so damn hard for her, and I didn't even know when. Maybe she figured it out, and that's why she didn't try to talk to me again, she was really smart after all.

"Okay" I said, closing my eyes "thanks Natasha"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Did Helen let you get to work already?" Bruce asked. He came in to the lab with a frown showing up in his face.

"Nope" I stated plainly, discarding one of the parts of the hologram's left side. "But I don't work for her. I'm a free man who makes his own decisions"

"what the..." I glanced at Bruce, catching a glimpse of his shocked face "Tony, are you listening to yourself?" he got closer to me, however, I didn't look at him, but I noticed how he stared at my current project "that's Y/n's suit?" he asked confused. "I thought you updated it a couple of weeks ago."

I darted a glance at him "are you spying me now, Banner?" I questioned, more bitter than I meant to. "Sorry. Yeah, I did, but it needs more improvements" I explained distractedly redirecting my attention to the now incomplete design. "Wilson took her to the medbay this morning. He said one of her suit's external protections got burnt"

I saw how Bruce opened and closed his mouth a few times. "how do you know that? I mean- you know- I" he sighed, walking to his own work space "I thought you two didn't talk anymore?"

"we don't" I tried to sound emotionless about it, I tried to sound like I didn't care if we talked or not. And I prayed for Bruce not to notice. "I just saw her there when Cho was checking my stitches."

A few minutes passed by in a comfortable silence, until Bruce broke it "You know, I think you should talk with her." I looked up confused. "with Y/n, I mean."

"That's not happening" I replied, finishing with Y/n's suit and starting with Steve's shield's new prototype.

"you two are so..." Bruce let out a tired sigh. "you know, maybe she's just feeling guilty because she caused you a second-degree burn." he kept talking, turning on his laptop. "so go and talk with her." he stared at me before speaking again. "Now, Tony. Go to talk with her now."

I nodded, leaving the prototype over my table, and heading out of the lab, walking to Y/n's room. Probably Bruce was right. Probably she was feeling guilty and I was being an ass by ignoring her.

I knew talking to her would be awkward, but before anything else, she was my friend, and friends are there for each other.

I knocked her door a couple of times before she answered. "it's open" I took a deep breath before turning the knob and pushing the door, getting in her room.

I didn't look at her. Not while I was getting inside, because I knew if I did, I would probably back out, and I couldn't.

So when I closed the door, I turned around, realizing she had her eyes closed. It was logical, she was probably resting since she had gotten hurt earlier that day.

"Hey, sweetheart"

Queening a Pawn, 20

If you’re new: this is my procrastination fic. It is what I drabble around with when I’m being my worst self, and ignoring all my other WIPs and responsibilities! Enjoy!

X

Summary: During the Time Heist, Loki stole the Tesseract and escaped. He did not expect, however, to be pulled through a Time Loop that delivered him to a Midgard more than a decade older, wiser, and bitterer. Having just lived through his unsuccessful attack in New York, Loki must learn to live in Midgard after the defeat of Thanos (post-Endgame). The question is, who is Loki without a quest for a throne or total domination?

Pairings: Loki x OC

Warnings: language, suggestive content (I think nothing terrible), soft fluffiness, two idiots in love.

=

Loki awoke with a sharp inhale. Wild eyes hopped form place to place, taking in the moody lighting and dark woods of his own living quarters. He did not remember getting here. He certainly didn't walk, which meant that, more than likely, Banner had carried him to his room while he was unconscious. He didn't know whether or not he was OK with the idea, but the pounding in his head did not allow him to focus on the quandary. Atop the sheets, Delilah was kneeling beside him, her fingers gliding gently over the collection of scars marring his pale skin.

Despite the fact that he had awoke quite violently, she did not seem to have noticed him. Instead, she was intensely focused on prodding at the circular areas of shiny flesh. His chest felt heavy with sorrow that was not his own and a fear of the unknown prickling at his skull.

His long fingers closing around her own made her start, and she glanced up, cutting her eyes at him, instantly. A lazy smile tilted his mouth at the wide-eyed gaze. "Counting scars to see how many are new will not make you feel better, dove."

"You don't know. Maybe I'm a secret sadist."

"Oh, there is no secret about that, but I rather believe that you enjoy my pain more when it brings pleasure," he riposted without missing a beat. "I have the bite marks to prove it." Delilah did not respond. Instead, she stretched out alongside him and buried her face into the crook of his shoulder. Loki chuckled, turning his head just enough to press a kiss to her crown. "I do not die so easily, darling. Many have tried, none have succeeded."

"That's not true."

"The Titan did not kill me." He drew a finger beneath her chin to cast her eyes up to meet his. "I will always make it back to you, I swear. Even if just to die at your feet."

"Don't… don't say things like that," she mumbled, trying to blink away tears.

"Darling," he whispered, brushing her hair back away from her eyes. They were so terribly vulnerable and open and their emerald hue glinted with her tears. His heart, a part he had foolish thought dead for hundreds of years, twisted painfully. How could he keep her from feeling this way? "My purpose has never been to be safe. Even on Asgard, my well-being was unimportant in relation to the good of the realm. In some cases–"

"No."

When Loki glanced down, Delilah looked like she was livid and his eyebrows slowly rose in a surprise. "What do you mean?"

"Stop… stop talking like you don't matter."

"Love–"

Tears were streaming down her face at this point. "You fucking matter to me. If you died because you decided the greater good was more important than you I would raze the Earth in vengeance. Do you understand?"

Swallowing at the lump in his throat, he nodded.

"Say it."

"Say what, my Queen?"

"Say you're important," she demanded, heatedly. "I need to hear you say it. I know how easy it is for you to ignore what you don't acknowledge. So, say it."

"You know me far too well, I must say." Taking Delilah's hand in his, he raised it to his lips. He kissed her palm and sighed wearily, like a heavy load was set on his shoulders. "I am important, if to no one but you."

"Is that not enough?"

"On the contrary. I'll have to start taking care not to accidentally die. I'd never want you to be upset… or to raze the Earth for my sake." He continued pressing kisses to her palm, seeping in the warmth of her hand and taking solace in it. She was fiery, electric and obstinate. He adored it more than life itself. He coveted her protective nature more than he ever did a throne.

"Hey," she whispered, pulling away from the dungeon he built in his mind. "Where did you go just then? I'm sorry if I upset you."

He smiled "You could never. I just… find it hard to believe I've earned your protection and it throws me for a loop, as it were." With a groan, he sat up against the headboard, pulling her along with him. "I'll make you a promise. For as long as you wear that ring, I'll do everything in my power to come back to you. I can't guarantee I won't take stupid risks for the sake of what is right, but–"

"I'll take it." Delilah brushed his shaggy hair back, undoing knots with her fingers before grasping the dark tresses to pull him towards her. "I don't want to keep you from doing whatever it is you want. I just want you to make sure you spare a thought about whether or not you'd survive afterwards." As if remembering herself, she started. "Oh, one moment."

With another kiss, she hopped off the bed and out the door before he even had the sense to question her. The sound of the front door closing irked him enough to debate whether or not he could physically chase after her. He was Aesir and had improved healing over Midgardians, but that building had done a number on his form and every bone in his corporation ached. The door opened and closed once more before Delilah scurried into the bedroom.

She hopped back onto the bed with a giddy leap, crawling up to the head and sitting back on her heels. "So, between days six and eight of you being entirely MIA, I got antsy and sat down with Tony in his lab. I was going through some of your old files and noticed that we had data about the specific signature your magic leaves behind."

"That is interesting." It sounded like a question rather than a remark.

"That's not the point, Lo. The point is that since we could tell the specific signatures it left behind, maybe we could predict what the magic looks like. Then, if we could do that, the next logical step would be find a way to amplify it."

Loki bobbed his head side to side, weighing out the probabilities with a serious frown. "I suppose it's possible. How would you validate it?"

"Oh, we used Strange's signature as a base model. It worked well to predict his energy." Her expression brightened with the small smirk of pride blossoming at the left corner of his mouth.

"Very clever, indeed, but I am still unsure as to what it all means." For a moment, she fidgeted and the excitement that had been brimming within her a second ago is dimmed with nervousness. "Delilah?" He rarely uses her full name, so it has the desired effect of forcing her to look up, instead of her knotted hands.

"It's stupid…," she trailed off.

"That is invariably untrue. You were excited. Tell me… or perhaps show me is the appropriate request," he amended, seeing her hands twitch tighter around something.

Her fingers loosened fractionally, a golden chain tinkling through her fingers for him to see. He waited patiently for her to reveal her secrets.

"You don't really wear anything, so I didn't… I put it on a chain, but it can also clip onto your lapel or go around your wrist. It just needs to be on you somewhere."

Loki grinned excitedly, leaning forward. "Go on, show me."

With a reluctant groan, she gripped his wrist and deposited the object in his palm, immediately looking elsewhere as she burned red. Along the gold chain rested a golden ring, etched in simple geometric designs like a circuit board. It consisted of a longer circle, twisted and doubled upon itself. He could slip the two bands apart just the slightest bit to slide it onto a lapel or the chest plate of his armor. Small pin mechanisms belied the ability of pulling it apart and expanding what he now noticed were two twin snakes.

"I'm gonna go," Delilah irrupted, suddenly, flushed from head to toe and feeling awkward at his quiet contemplation. Loki pounced from bed, tackling her onto the floor before she had even made it to the bedroom threshold. Caged between his arms, he trailed kisses from her neck to her jaw until ending on her lips, giving a contented sigh when she responded in kind.

"How would you prefer me to wear it?" She shrugged, looking awkward again. He nipped at her pulse point in protest for the shift. "Certainly you had an initial design in mind." He hummed against her throat in thought. "You're practical, which is why you've added the chain. Easy to keep around, minimal effort in minding it. While on the lapel offers visual advantages, it would look out of place with the clothes I've been wearing as of late." An open-mouthed kissed burned the hollow of her throat. "And while you are all for practicality, you are also fiercely possessive. Don't bother, you know you are," he added in a haughty tone when she went to protest. "So, your initial design was for my hands–visible and apparent. The others were an afterthought."

Another nip, much more forceful landed on her collarbone and she bucked into him in surprise. He repeated the action with a growl, pressing into her. "A ring. It was a ring. I didn't want your wrist to get caught on anything, Jesus!" A moan cut through her defense. "You don't wear jewelry and I didn't want you to think I was being stupid and sentimental with a ring, so– oh god." Delilah shuddered against him as Loki hitched one of her legs over his hip.

"I love stupid and sentimental," he husked. "Our whole relationship can be described as stupid and sentimental." He pressed a kiss behind her ear. "You're going to put that ring on me and then I'm going to take you like I almost died on what should have been an easy mission. Yes?" Delilah barely nodded before Loki eased off, pulling them up to sit beside each other. With shaking hands, she freed ring from chain and slipped it over his finger. With a wicked grin, he swooped down and threw her over his shoulder, gracefully slipping onto his feet and towards the bathroom. There was a warm bath with both their names on it.
