Search and Destroy

Ships: none, Implied BoomerBot (Brimstone x KAY/O)

Words: 855

CW: nothing explicit, implied death and memory extraction, talks of grief

Notes: this is a teaser of another series i want to start on AO3! once i finish the mainstay fic, i want to make ones of all of my favorite ships!! this is one that’s super near and dear to my heart, so i hope you love it as much as i do!!

“I want you to destroy it.”

KAY/O couldn’t bring himself to do it, holding the small device in his hands much like a small child would hold a lightning bug; with a gentle curiosity that produced nothing but destruction. 

It was one of Killjoy’s personal thumb drives, painted with little splatters that looked eerily like Raze’s abilities. He was handed it after being dragged here for “privacy reasons”, before the girl locked the door and began to divulge its contents; a trove of memories from the man that he technically was.

The memories of Alpha Earth’s Tariq Porter.

Apparently, Alpha’s KAY/O never got out of testing due to his “violent nature”. They still destroyed this man and took his memories, only to scrap his life’s work because of a testing flaw.

“Don’t you want to see who you were here? You can’t meet your Alpha Counterpart, but you have his memories!” The young girl’s concerned enthusiasm was almost endearing, had it not been for her subject matter.

“Killjoy.” Whether he sighed through his voicebox or took a moment to compress the steam out of his chassis, she will never know. “I have no reason to see his memories.”

“You are Tariq Porter, and I know that.” She crossed her arms. “The Tariq I knew was always so kind, and it’s such a shame that he died for this before I could step in to stop it.” According to Kingdom files, the project had been started immediately after First Light, and his memories had been extracted only months after. 

This was many months before Killjoy was promoted to take over Research and Development, but she still had not forgiven herself for his death. “This is just as much for me as it is for you.”

“His memories do not matter to me.”

There was some kind of pull from within him, but he pushed it aside.

“I know that’s a lie.” The atmosphere in the room quickly soured.

He would frown if he could. He hated seeing her hurt, something in his servos would ring and jitter every time, but he knew that this was going to be bad. He already had to partition his memory logs to deal with Brimstone, he couldn’t do this to himself again.

He turned to walk out of the room, but stops to look back at her for a moment.

“I want you to destroy it.”

He could see this pierce through her heart as they locked eyes and he nodded heavily.

“Not until you look at the memories. Until then,” she smiled fondly. “I miss Tariq!” Her smile dissolved into a chuckle, “so I’m going to scrub through them.”

“What are you looking for?” His body turned back to face her. “What do you know about him?”

“Tariq was like Brim,” she smiled. “There’s so much I want to tell you about him, but I need you to watch this with me. There’s something there, but I can’t tell you why without it.” 

He took a moment to think about this, morbid curiosity taking over. What was it that he needed to know about this universe’s Tariq? Was he not just the same man on a different path? Killjoy took this moment of contemplation as a confirmation that he was willing to go through with her plan as she dragged him back into the heart of the room, encouraging him to sit down.

“Wait!” She beamed brightly. “I need to have a third here for viewing non-mission Kingdom files, I’ll go get Brim!”

That felt too on the nose, and he needed to push. “Why him specifically?” His head cocked to the side as his display changed to a question mark.

She stopped for a moment and breathed lightly, seeming to collect her thoughts.

The silence continued to stretch before she blurted out her thoughts. “He’s important, especially in regards to Tariq.” The girl patted his head lightly, almost awkwardly. “Who was he to you, in Omega?”

“He was…” He had to stop himself, this wasn’t hers to hear. Even if she couldn’t know, she still needed to know. For her sanity and his partitioning. “… He is very important to me, and my purpose on Omega Earth.”

Her voice and face softened. “Well, he was very important to our Brimstone too.” The heaviness in the air seemed to dissolve as she smiled fondly. “He’d want to see these. He never got to say goodbye, I don’t think.”

“Did you?” His response was so quick, he almost didn’t even catch it. The young girl did, however, and almost looked offended at the question.

“Of course not!” Her harsh laugh broke through the still-slightly-precarious air. “He ‘went missing’ while I was still an intern, and…” She seemed to choke up a bit. “… and it really hurt both Brim and I. Tariq was like another dad to me, like Brim is, and having to grieve the loss of him and watch my father figure grieve the loss of his-“ Her voice stopped softly as she took a step back. “I’ve said too much, I’m going to get Brimstone.”

Speaking of ships... opinions on Kay/o/brim?

okay so. this is gunna be weird. bc there are two very distinctive sides of me. there is the half that quite literally forgets kayo exists. that sees him exclusively for lore purposes. that loses interest in him because he is not a girlboss. but. but but but but

there is a half of me that is like. THE ANGST... BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW WHO KAYO IS, RIGHT? LIKE WE ALL KNOW WHO HE IS TO BRIM, RIGHT? RIGHT??? BC IF HE KNOWS AND BRIM KNOWS IT'S SO EMOTIONAL AND GOD... lord... lord above help me... they both deserve to be happy in life... like idk if i'd write them but i have definitely read a fic for that ship before and would continue to if i find more

[svshiroll]

bisexual

raze: what’s the word for when your hands are bisexual

killjoy: do you mean ambidextrous

raze: i’m in love with u

[valorantmenheadcanons]

I'm a slut for this scenario, so I would like to request how the guys of your choosing would react to being in a really tiny and closed space with their crush? Ex, in a closet or in between a wall fjdnjxnd gender neutral pls! Thank you and I wish you luck for your blog 😖❤️‍🩹

Ty 💚 btw anyone else getting wacked out spelling harbors name like harbor and not harbour cos every time I do it just feels Wrong

Sova

- Sova is a big guy alright, we all know that

- that means he’s getting real close with his crush right now

- if you’re looking for it, you can feel his heartbeat. It gets faster the longer y’all are smushed together

- honestly this probably happened on a mission and was a duck-for-cover gone wrong

- so he’s like. Mildly out of breath, his eyes are all intense from the fighting

- if you ask, the blush creeping up his neck is just from exertion, totally not because he can feel you pressed against him the way he’s imagined so often

- he wants the moment to last, wants to keep looking down at you but there is a mission and he is the golden boy

Cypher

- this one also happened on a mission

- cypher was set up for surveillance and had covered his hiding spot to hell and back with tripwires and cages

- thoughtful you went to go check on him, tripped about 48 times, and narrowly avoided stepping on a piece of his equipment

- in the process of Not Dying, you end up knocking cypher against the wall

- and hoooooooo man if that doesn’t do it for him a little bit

- fr tho he is.. well he’s cypher so he’s gonna be suave and be grateful he wears a mask so you can’t see his dopey smile because cmon that was kinda endearing

- doesn’t mean you can’t hear it in his voice as he teases you tho

- “you should really look where you’re going habibi”

- he likes seeing your eyes this close, he thinks they’re beautiful

Chamber

- you and chamber were having a petty argument about weapon design whilst walking down the hallways of the VP headquarters

- he’s passionate about it and thinks he knows better than you

- so to get your point across, you pull on his tie to bring his head close to yours

- you figured he’d keep his balance but poor chamber wasn’t expecting that at all and one hundred percent stumbles forward

- now you’re caught off guard and both of you end up crashing backwards into crates of supplies left in the hallway

- thankfully for chambers ego, he holds himself up against the crates so that he’s leaned over you and you’re trapped between his arms holding his tie like an idiot

- and because he is chamber, he flirts

- “if you wanted me closer, all you had to do was ask. Best not to make a mess, non?”

Yoru

- remember how in retake phoenix ziplines with his gun or whatever

- so he’s bragging about that and yoru is like “watch this” and tries to do it too but Cooler B)

- so a small group of you are gathered in the practice room, watching yoru zipline across the room

- except he slips 3/4 of the way down and crashes right into you

- y’all end up falling back into a cramped space meant to be rubble

- his pride- but also he’s worried about you because he did kind of just fall on you

- you’re fine, just a few lil scrapes

- the embarrassment on yoru’s face makes up for him falling on you

- he’s totally trying to brush it off, especially in front of you and the other agents, but you saw that genuine care he has for you

Omen

- you’re hunting around in one of the little supply closets on the base when omen teleports in

- he was looking for some of his yarn that he’d ordered and didn’t expect anyone else to be in the closet

- so he teleports in and jump scares you basically

- he catches you by instinct but the supply closet really was not made for more than one person to be in it at a time, especially with all the stuff in there

- it’s a little cramped but he feels too awkward to teleport out now. And also he wants his yarn

- this close, you can really see the way his slits get bigger and smaller repetitively, mimicking a kind of blinking

- his hands are cold too, where they’re on your shoulders to steady you

- bless his heart, he doesn’t know what to say except for a quiet “sorry”

- you laugh it off and ask him what he was looking for

- “yarn.”

- if you pay close attention you can see that his face slits are growing brighter than they usually do and some of his shadowy smoke seeps from under his hood

- you help him find his yarn but not before omen moves to stand in the doorway instead so you have space

- he flexes his claws as he watches you, a nervous habit he’s picked up over the years

- y’all have some idle chit chat about what he’s working on. Omen even offers to keep you company while you do whatever

Phoenix

- he trips and falls forward onto you

- it’s not graceful At All

- he’s kinda dumbfounded, holding himself up with his hands by your head

- 1. He’s embarrassed but 2. Holy shit he’s this close to you and the way you’re looking at him

- huh that’s weird the heater came on but only in the common room

- “you okay phoenix?”

- that snaps him out of his little moment and he scrambles back on his feet to help you up

- he apologises so much but really it’s fine, accidents happen! Still, he feels like he wants to make it up to you in some way

- you suggest watching a movie

- and if you snuggle a little closer during it, it’s just cos he’s warm and toasty ;)

Kayo

- it happens on the way back from a mission

- y’all are in the back of the vulture

- you’re behind Kayo cleaning gunk and dirt off of him when y’all experience some turbulence

- you were standing to clean him and end up getting jostled around

- you probs would’ve fallen on your face had he not reacted ultra fast and pulled you close to him

- you’re basically in his lap now

- like Phoenix, his body heats up and it’s totally just a robot thing, no other reason

- you’re startled, being this close to Kayo

- but since you’re here now, you start cleaning the front of him too

- this is what makes him short circuit lmao

- the fact that he’s fully capable of doing it himself but you’re cleaning him just to be nice

- the face you make in concentration, picking at a spot that won’t come off- that’s his new favourite face of yours. The way your eyebrows pull together a little, a bit of a nose scrunch as you peer closer

- he has never felt so cared for by a human before

Harbor

- some of the younger agents wanted to see harbors powers so he was showing off a little bit

- poor you turned the corner at just the right time to be smacked in the face by a wall of water

- okay he laughs a little bit but he is immediately apologising

- he pulls you behind him to a bathroom and gets a towel to dry you off

- you just kind of let him dry at least your head off. You’ll go change into different clothes after

- he’s very meticulous in drying you off and when he gets to your hair he ruffles it with the towel

- you shriek and try to duck away from him but he is having way too much fun with this

- he finally stops when you put your hands over his and damn that big stupid smile on his big stupid face

- “you look like a wet sewer rat”

- you fake gasp and try to hold back a smile

- and harbor is just thinking about how he could get addicted to seeing that

Breach

- one of his arms came off during a mission so you’re hanging out with him in his room while kj fixes it

- he gets up to get smth but doesn’t realise how off balance he is without the other arm. I mean those things have gotta be fuckin Heavy

- so he instantly starts tilting over and then you shoot up to help balance him

- but he’s too far gone and now you’re falling with him

- at least you land on his chest which is softer than a metal arm

- he’s kind of at a loss for words though and the fact that you’re basically laying on top of him does not help his brain function

- for once he has nothing to say

- which is only worrying to you

- “are you ok? That looked like it hurt. Sorry for falling on you too”

- he’s totally fine except for not being able to get that image of you out of his head

- he totally imagines you cuddling up to him while sleeping now

Brimstone

- not to be an old man but he definitely got a sharp knee pain and stumbled

- you made him sit down so you could make sure he was ok, that it wasn’t bruised or anything after a mission

- he’s fine just aging but the thought makes him feel fuzzy inside

- he tries to reassure you he’s okay but you seriously insist on taking him to see sage or Skye just to make sure there’s nothing wrong

- he secretly adores how doting you can be and won’t complain if you stick close to him for a bit after

Gekko as your Boyfriend |H.C.|

Pairing: Mateo “Gekko” De La Fuente/ GN! Reader

In which we take a dive into what Gekko would be like as your Boyfriend!

CW: Fluff, The Critters (❤️), Reader is assumed to be a part of VP

note: I LOVE GEKKO SO MUCH AND DIZZY AND WINGMAN AND MOSH AND THRASH HAVE MY HEART AND OMG IM GONNA DEDICATE MY WHOLE ACCOUNT TO THEM NOW

Ok starting off, you cannot tell me his creatures wouldn’t love you. If Gekko likes you, they like you.

(snuggles with dizzy, playing games with wingman, etc)

His love language is quality time, with physical touch as a close second.

He just wants to be around you 24/7, with you in his arms and just loving each other.

He doesn’t care what dates are like. As long as he gets to be with you and see you smile, hes the happiest man in the world.

Would def let you dye his hair, or ask you to help if he needs to dye it. He thinks it looks better when you do it (and he totally doesn’t just want to spend time with you)

Matching tattoos?

yes. matching tattoos.

Imagine he had a little heart of your favorite color on his wrist, and you had a matching one of his favorite color on yours (i’m melting)

Boba dates are a must

If you have never had boba, he is just so excited to introduce you to the world of flavors you can explore

If you do like boba, expect to have it a lot, he likes to come home and surprise you with it a lot.

Since your on the Protocol with him, you both like to train together

One time, Brimstone caught you both kissing in the commons area, he almost had a stroke.

(He had to go find Sage to tell you to both knock it off because he thought it would be awkward if he did it)

((it would be))

You’re both best friends with Neon, but you do get jealous of her sometimes.

Gekko and Neon just had this chemistry that can be mistaken for romantic, but they both assure you it’s totally platonic.

If you ever got hurt out on a mission, he would be right there to take care of you in any way he could, and vice versa.

He absolutely hated seeing you get hurt, so much so that he would jump in front of you to protect you

It was cute

Sometimes.

Once he threw himself in front of the line of fire and took a bullet to the shoulder, yet refused to get out of the way.

It was sweet, but you hated seeing him hurt as much as he hated seeing you hurt.

Sage was not happy that he was being so reckless.

In which Mateo would tell her it was his knight in shining armor moment.

I feel like he would brag about you a lot.

Like “I have the best parter in the world, they’re so caring and… ugh I miss them so much, Im going to call them.”

He wouldn’t talk to Reyna about you at first though, he was scared of her

When he did start to open up about your relationship to her, she started to like you more.

You always thought Reyna was constantly judging you, but when she came around, she protected you and Mateo like you were her younger siblings.

She secretly holds so much love for you both in that small heart of hers.

Did i mention skating dates?

They’re a must.

If you don’t know how to skate, Mateo wants to teach you so bad he literally drags you out to do it.

(It’s totally not an excuse to hold your waist as he keeps you balanced)

If you do know how to skate, y’all are constantly competing. Races, Tricks, anything you can think of, you’ll challenge each other.

You really do bring out the best in each other

Except for that one time that Mateo broke his board because he was angry you beat him…

He’s been super gentle with his gear since that day.

You also learned to let him win most of the time

welcome to my gekko arc.

I will write for other valorant agents, juuuust mostly gekko :>

My inbox is open! ask away people!!

[agentgumsh0e]

heyy can I request some headcannons of maybe something with an agent who the VP kinda views as like a little sister? u can do whatever you want with it and whichever agents u choose are fine :) hope u have a good day/night ^^

being protocol's "little sibling"

word count: 940+

warnings: none

notes: the agents are sorted into categories based on how i thought they would act (you can talk about how i did in the comments), some have special headcanons, some don't + the woodworking class and the morning jogs thing with skye is apparently something she actually does, according to the val wiki

congrats! (regardless of your age) you're the little sibling in the protocol family! :)

responsible older siblings: brimstone, sage, sova, skye 

these people will always be looking out for you and your best interests. they're not really the type to allow you to get into trouble and are serious about setting a good example. this doesn’t mean they don't have fun with you (sova definitely does with archery and his owl drone), it's just that their idea of fun is a lot more restricted. they'll let you get away with a few things at most.

skye only allows you to get into trouble with her creatures. if she catches you doing anything you're not supposed to (or if she just chooses to invoke her power as an older sibling), she’ll probably make you take her woodworking class and participate in her morning runs.

sova and skye are more lenient than brimstone and sage, as you could probably guess.

if you pester him enough, sova would eventually give in with a heavy sigh and try to keep you from getting caught if you're up to something. he swears he won't let it happen again… until you give him puppy dog eyes, exploiting his one soft spot.

older siblings who do not care/are too busy to: viper, chamber, and (bonus) omen

nuff said. jk, they just…have looking after a younger sibling on a much lower priority than most other things, whether it be experimenting in the lab or working on gun design. that, or they just don't care in the first place. don't expect any family bonding time from them.

honorary mention: omen, but idk, he just kind of seems like a hit or miss with a younger sibling. he would probably be too preoccupied with figuring out his whole situation to take care of someone else. he may not even know how to express his consideration outside of knitting them something.

teasing/immature older siblings: phoenix, cypher, breach, jett, raze, astra

they relentlessly pick on you (in a lighthearted way), but at the end of the day, you're still their younger sibling. they'd never let anyone else outside of protocol talk to you like that. they do a lot of dumb stuff with you and pretty much enable tons of idiotic stuff. even though they're not the best role models, they sure do let you have fun.

cypher makes sure you eat well and keeps you out of trouble for the most part, but he'll bend a couple of rules for you. like sova, he'll keep you from getting caught, but sometimes, unlike sova…he’ll just partake as well.

phoenix, jett, and raze all must have babysitters of their own when watching you. they cannot be trusted.

cool older siblings: cypher, reyna, killjoy, yoru, astra, fade, neon, jett, and (bonus) phoenix

they let you get away with most stuff, and they end up being that sibling that you want to model yourself after because you're just so amazed at everything they do.

killjoy is mostly working in the lab (and in that way kind of goes in the ‘too busy to care’ category), but occasionally, she appears and gives you little robots to keep you company. then, she blips out of existence for another year. jk, she tries to spend time with you and teach you everything she knows in her lab, even if you don't understand half of what she's saying.

i was gonna put yoru in the teasing/immature category, but he's really just the teasing part of it. he's kind of ruthless with it. he wants to look cool and succeeds most of the time, and he’s not as immature as some of the people in there (phoenix in particular).

a normal conversation between you and neon is you saying, “wow, that was so cool, ate (older sister)!”, and her replying, “oh, uh, thanks?”

honorary mention: phoenix, but only because he wants to look cool but fails miserably.

i mean…how could you not find astra cool? she literally controls the cosmos

protective older siblings: cypher, reyna, omen, yoru, kay/o, neon, fade

the other agents would certainly stick up for you, but these are the people who would kill for you if it came down to it…that may be a bit of a stretch for some, but they’ll definitely take all precautions when it comes to your safety and would go a step further when actually defending you.

kay/o MAY go in the category with viper and chamber, but honestly, after losing brimstone (who he was obviously very close to), i would imagine that he's learned how to care and have close relationships with others, including a familial one with you. and he doesn’t want to lose you too.

neon may not seem like she's on the same level as the other people here, but she is still really passionate about her family and may not be able to control herself and her anger when it comes to you.

yoru can obviously fight, and if he finds out that someone other than him (and the protocol, he guesses) is being mean to you, they're getting those hands.

cypher and fade are definitely going to be revealing all the secrets and fears of people who hurt you. only if you want them to, though. 

omen, as i said, is a hit or miss, but if he does care, he cares deeply, and he’ll do everything in his power to give your enemies a nightmare.

have you seen the lengths reyna goes to for her little sister? if anyone dares to lay a finger on you, they’re getting the same treatment

[l0serloki]

I don't know if I have the ability to explain this properly but hear me out 😂.

The reader is a radiant but their powers pain them (kind of like Omen but reader is still human). The reader has recieved Kay/o's trust and respect (maybe because they weren't all that bad from where he came from) and one day he sees the extent of how much in pain the reader is in and decides to help. He has the power to rid radiants of their powers, right? So, he pauses the reader's hurting for a few moments and that has been the best the reader has felt since they recieved their powers (I, honestly, don't know if it works that way lol). Now, the reader comes to Kay/o often when they want a break from the pain. And the relationship goes from there. Could be either platonic or romantic, your choice!

I know that you have yet to write for Kay/o but this has been in my mind for a few days now 😭. Thank you for reading this!

Kay/o x Reader

Genre : Fluff, Angst/Comfort?

WC : 800

Summary : Your radiant powers suck away at your lifeforce, making you live in pain. Kayo wishes to lighten your burden.

CW : Pain, dark thoughts/negativity, reader can manipulate blood

A/N : I KINDA LOVE THIS IDEA THANK U SO MUCH, IM GONNA WRITE A PART TWO

You were a radiant with the power to manipulate blood. You would think this was a blessing but in truth it was a curse. Ever since you had received the power it had slowly turned dark, sucking at your own lifeforce. You couldn’t control the way your blood moved, or how your powers yearned to end everyone - including you. You simply accepted the pain and moved on, there was nothing else you could do.

“Y/N, will you go grab me some tea?” Fade’s voice echoed around the meeting room. You only nodded at the request and made your way to the kitchen. Today wasn’t a good day for your powers - but when was it ever? Your hands shook as you dipped the tea bag into some water and looked around for the coffee machine. 

“If you are looking for the coffee machine, it’s in the right corner. Phoenix moved it earlier.” You turned to meet Kayo, his body glittering with power. You always were jealous of him and some deep wish inside of you dreamed that he would lodge his knife up your skull and end your powers for good. You shook the dark thoughts away, mumbling a thanks to your robotic friend. You got busy with making everyones drinks, Kayo still standing behind you.

“Where I come from, you’re not so bad Y/N. I know you’re new to the team and iffy about everything but you will grow into it. We were pretty close.. If you ever need someone, I’m here.” Kayo sounded and your eyebrows raised in shock. You two were close? “That’s kind of you K’, I will take that into account. If you ever need help as well, don't hesitate.” You sent him a soft smile as you placed the drinks on a platter, dreading going back into the meeting.

“I could use help actually. Meet me in the training room at 7?” You thought the request odd but didn’t mention it, agreeing anyway. “Sure. See you then.” His metallic hands waved you off as you made your way back, anxiety filling you at the slosh of the drinks.

The meeting went fine, Chamber and Fade had talked about the recent battle and Brimstone set up a new squad. You would be going on a mission in two days time and needed to practice. Sage had recommended going to Reyna due to the similarity in your powers but you didn’t want to. Reyna was terrifying and if you had the attitude of her and indulged your powers… Lord knows what could happen. 

Your shoes clanked against the shiny tiles as you entered the training room, Kayo waiting on the couch. His body turned as his face glowed with seeming happiness. You could never truly tell if he felt emotions that deep but hoped he could. “Hey. What did you need help with?” You made your way over to him, hand lingering on his metal thumb. He made a little whirring sound and gripped your hand in his. You felt butterflies grow in your stomach at the closeness of the man, his hand caressing your skin. 

“I don’t need help, but I wish to help you.” You let out a gutted breath, shocked he would go to these levels to aid you. “Kayo..” You felt your eyes roll back as the soft hum of his power sounded around the room. He had effectively killed the switch, getting rid of any pain in your body. Your hands gripped hard onto the metal ones, head falling against his chest. You slowed your breathing to the vibrations of his chest, the grip against your body was gone. It felt so relieving even getting a few seconds to breathe on your own. Kayo was right, you needed this. 

It had to have been at least an hour when you woke back up. The pain was dull and your usual migraine was gone. You wiped the sleep out of your eyes and then noticed the weight against your torso. Kayo’s arm was wrapped around you, his body cradling you. Were you two.. Cuddling? You couldn’t help but grin at the sight, turning to face him.

“You are awake.” He pointed out and you snorted. “Very observant. Thank you for this..” You could honestly not think of a better gift. He crooned a yes into your ear and tightened his grip. “Rest up a bit more. You have a big day ahead of you.” You could only comply with his wishes, glad to have him by your side.

VALORANT

Ayun, so bukod sa kadramahan ko kanina, nahilig rin ako maglaro ng FPS pero siguro itong game lang na ito since yung sa PUBG/FORTNITE/COD kasi parang survival doon and may loots eh ayoko pa naman nang ganon, kasi malay ko ba sa bala ng baril? HAHAHA. Well may mga nakakalaro rin akong friends sa Valorant and mostly before gabi-gabi talaga. Lately lang ako nag i-skip sa play.

Yung game parang CSGO daw na Overwatch, 5 members for defending and attacking. So yung mechanics is pag defending ka, don’t let the attacking side plant the Spike (bomb) or ubusin nyo sila agad. For the attacking naman dapat makaplant kayo ng Spike maliban kung naubos nyo na agad ang defending before mag end ang time. 

May 4 types yung game: 

Spike rush- first to get 4 wins after 3 games ata switch na (attacking to defending VV). 

Unrated- first to have 13 wins, ito medyo matagal talaga mga 40mins max. after 12 rounds switch ulit.

Competitive- first to have 13 wins pa rin pero dito may rank na.

Custom- dito naman kung marami kayo like 10 or 6 pwedeng kayo kayo magpatayan. Same rules sa unrated.

May 4 maps rin yung game.

1. ASCENT

2 sites: A and B

2. HAVEN

3 sites: A, B and C

3. SPLIT

2 sites: A and B 

4. BIND

2 sites: A and B, for me nahihirapan ako dito eh ang layo ng ikutan and delikado sa portals hahahhaa

May 11 Agents sa Valorant:

Jett

Brimstone

Sova

Sage

Phoenix

Raze

Reyna

VIper

Cypher

Breach

Omen

Each agents may different skills! yung 1-5 unlocked sila pero yung 6-11 need mo ng mission to unlock them all.

Ito yung madalas kong magamit na Agents, Sage and Viper.

Sage: Madalas ito yung auto pick ko since madali yung mga skills nya and nakaka heal sya ng kakampi and resurrect rin. Press Q- slow skill sa mga kalaban even sa kakampi pag tumapak doon sa binatuhan nya, Press E- pwedeng ma heal kakampi mo or ikaw mismo. Press C- para mag lagay ng wall sa phase nyo para ‘di makapasok mga kalaban. Actually gamit na gamit ko talaga yung wall nya lalo na pag defending na and kung ikaw lang mag isa sa site and narinig mo na footsteps ng kalaban ,okay ito to delay yung pag dating nila at ma broadcast mo sa kakampi mo na nandoon na ang kalaban HAHAHA. Press X- for ult, ito yung need ng 7 ng ult points para makapag revive ka ng kakampi mo. Mostly ng nirerevive ko is yung friend ko talaga AHAHAHAHA.

Viper: Second pick ko ito pag nakuha na si Sage :(, sorry Viper! Pero ayun maganda ito gamitin lalo na sa Ascent na Map sa B site hehe. Press Q- poison cloud, ito yung parang may fuel sya na nababawasan maganda ito pang block sa mga kalaban kasi nababawasan ata life nila (di ko sure?) pero sa buff nya ngayon sabi doon hindi na daw nababawasan sa poison fuel nya. Press E- Toxic screen, ito yung abot hanggang kabilang kanto basta na place mo ng maayos, pero pang isang placement lang sya. Press C- Snake bite, ito naman yung kulay green na parang natapon na liquid, damage rin sa kalaban pag natapakan nila haha. Press X, ult-Vipers pit, ito naman yung as in buong swamp sakop ng pit nya, tapos nakaka drain sya ng life ng kalaban talaga, maganda to gamitin pag nakaplant na ang spike para wala makakapasok na kalaban and sa point of view ni Viper kulay red mga kalaban and madali nya mapapatay.

Good game sya to release your anger haha pero hindi talaga ako magaling as in pabuhat lang rin naman ako sa game :P.

Ayun lang, have a great night everyone!

Cloak and Dagger

Veg●notable: Okay, I had a little fun with this and took a few liberties with one of the boys… It worked for I wanted but I am not sure how it will be received... ::ducks behind a Tracy so she doesn’t get hit with anything...::

Also I am kinda being a pantser with this chapter.. I have a general idea of where I want it to go but I didn’t suss it out like I have in other chapters so please excuse if the pacing if off. I kinda let the Boys tell me where they wanted to go and what sort of interactions they wanted to have….and they may have gone a bit off course..

As per the norm.. All errors and such are my own.

Read, review, like, reblog.. Whatever the platform, it is very, very much appreciated and it all acts as my motivational fuel.

Chapter 3: Games 

Enjoy!

o0o

Scott drummed his fingers along the careworn surface of his father’s desk, his gaze lost to the middle distance as he thought over the information that had just been brought to him. Not that there was much, which was the problem in and of itself.

Kayo and Lady Penelope had had very little to tell him. After Fuse’s botched attempt at the old, disused power plant to obtain nuclear material he’d just up and disappeared. Their security expert and London agent had been traipsing around the globe trying to track down leads for weeks now but there was no sign of the Chaos member, his sister or for that matter the Hood… anywhere..at all.

For the Hood on his own, it wasn’t that unusual. The criminal would go quiet for a spell and not resurface for months. Now that he was with the Crew, that was an entirely different story.

Normal some tidbit of information would crop up of a sighting in some far corner of the world, or a rumour of some heist or another would drift about on the dark web. Either Lady P would poke at it to figure out if it was worth further effort or Kayo would get a call from the GDF to check with some contacts but everything had gone silent. There was nothing, no where.

Scott looked up at the muted holo-cast. A variation of the same headline scrolled along under the chrome anchors’ desk and something in the pit of his stomach tightened. This eerie feeling of foreboding had been dogging him since the plant and he just knew this wasn’t going to end well.

Picking up an old school stylus that for some reason his father had kept even with the advent of modern computer interfaces, Scott examined its length. His father had owned it for as long as he could remember. He’d once asked Jeff why he insisted on keeping it and his father had smiled in that way he did and had said that ‘somethings were just worth keeping.’ He hadn’t elaborated in any other way or given any other hint to his reasoning after that. It left Scott scratching his head in confusion.

Even now all these years later he still didn’t understand though as he looked at the smooth finish and felt the weight of it between his fingers, he could understand its appeal. It provided something tangible to hold on to, tactile.

In his case not only physically but it also provided him with a psychologically connection to the man they all missed so much. A man he truly wished was with them right now.

Maybe the great Jeff Tracy would be able to wrap his head around all this, come out with a master plan so at the end of the day the world was a better, safer place. Scott certainly didn’t think he had the chops to do it himself. Self doubt was a bitch especially when there was no supporting hand to guide you.

His father was going to come home, Scott knew that for sure. WIth Brains basically locked away working on the zero-x engine it was only a matter of time. Scott just hoped that when they got their father back…. Why was he even thinking about this? Setting the stylus back down, he rubbed at the back of his head in hopes of dispelling the direction of his thoughts. This was not helping.

Snagging his forgotten cup of coffee, he took a swig and grimaced. Cold and it was the good stuff from Virgil’s hidden stash behind the lima bean in the pantry. Eyeballing the drink with its thin layer of cream film on top, he sighed and tossed the rest back. It was too much effort to haul his ass downstairs for a fresh cup, besides his brother would kick his butt if he were to find out he knew of the existence of the rich, smoky ground beans and had wasted it. Better to just suck it up and deal with the cold brew then risk the engineer’s wrath.

“Thunderbird 5 to base.”

“Hey John,” Scott greeted with the raise of his now empty coffee mug. “What’s up?”

“Just letting you know Grandma is on approach. Will be there in t-minus 5”

“Thanks for the heads up.”

John nodded in return and they sat in silence for a moment. By the controlled look on John’s face Scott could tell that the monitor was working up to say something more. Leaning back in his chair, he cocked a foot over one knee and steepled his fingers as his brother processed whatever it was that was on his mind.

Scott didn’t want to push but time was ticking. “Johnny….?” He knew the use of his brother’s childhood nickname would get the ball rolling.

John’s eyes narrowed in annoyance at the moniker but the redhead let it slide. “How’s it going down there?”

Scott dropped his hands, pushed up to his feet and walked the short distance to the sunken seating area. “As well as can be expected.” Taking the steps down he parked on his usually couch with a heavy sigh. Sinking into the cushions with a slouch and tossing an arm up and over the back.

“That sounds...” John paused as he searched for the appropriate word, “to steal a phrase from Alan.. craptastic.”

One shoulder went up in a shrug and Scott dragged in a deep breathe. “Ya, well. Shitty situation but you know how these things go. Time and space and all that.”

“Time and space?” A smirk settled on John’s face. “This coming from you. Eos mark down the time and date. Scott is being reasonable”

“Time and date noted, John.” Came the young voice of the A.I. “I have also taken the liberty of recording this interaction for posterity in the likelihood that you want to revisit the momentous occasion.”

John chuckled as the light ring came into the view field of the camera. The array of little lights flashing in what Scott could only conclude as amusement at his cost. The A.I was learning and learning fast and Scott didn’t know how to feel about that.

“Hardy har.” A dry sound, accompanied by an eye roll. “Am I really that bad?”

The stare and awestruck look he received by way of answer should have been enough.”Aw, come on…”

“If smother hen was in the dictionary, Scott. You would be the picture beside it.” It was said rather frankly and that irked Scott into yet another eyeroll. “Matter of fact, it might actually already be in Urban Dictionary..”

“Okay. Okay..I get it. Enough already.” Scott’s boredom and disdain at the direction of the conversation wasn’t hard to miss. “I can’t help it. I worry about all of you.”

John took pity on his elder brother, the smile leaving his face. “I know you do, Scott. Especially when it’s Virgil.”

Scott sagged further into the couch.

“We all need to fall apart every now and again. The same applies to Virgil.” John spoke, his voice carrying across the distance. “As much as we rely on him to be the family rock, even a rock wears down over time when enough stress is applied.”

“Ya, I know. You’re right.” Scott leaned forward, his elbows coming to rest on his knees as he looked at the floor. “I just wish…” He didn’t finish his train of thought.

“Scott, he’ll be fine. Just give him the room to breath and in a day or two he will be right as rain again. He needs to stew this over a bit.” John shifted his gaze away from the cam, his projected hand skimming over something off screen.

“Well from what Brain’s has told me, Virgil has him doing system checks on all the wash-bays. Maybe an answer will be there for him.”

“You talked to Brain?”

“Yes, just before calling you. He wanted me to look at some computations. Double check his math and he didn’t want to bother Virgil with it” Floating about the space station some 22,000 kilomitres above them, John glaced backup a moment. “Why? Haven’t you talked to him?”

Scott sat up a bit straighter, sheepishly ashamed that the yelling the night before had sent the mousy genus into hiding in the bowels of the island. “Not since we got back..”

“Oh,” John failed to hide the nonplussed expression that flashed across the screen. “Glad I was off world last night than..:”

“Jay, you’re always off world”

John couldn’t say anything to counter that and Scott knew it. The star obsessed Tracy rarely made landfall and Scott tried to think back on how long it had been since the astronaut had been forced to submit to some down time.

“Scott, you’re getting that look in your eyes again.”

“What look?”

“The ‘I need to smother’ look that comes with the forehead wrinkles of the elderly.. Don’t you dare set your sights on me. I am needed up here with full access to all of 5’s systems and you know it.”

Scott put his hands up in surrender, not wanting to have another sibling forcibly shutting him out. “Message received and watched the old person jokes. They are laugh lines not stress.. The hair though, that’s all from you guys.”

John looked off camera again and his expression changed from brotherly bemusement to curious. “Aunt Val is reaching out. I’ll patch her though.”

Scott cursed under his breath and ignored the admonishing glare from space. Seemed he hadn’t sworn as quietly as he thought, good thing Gran….

“Scott Bartholomew Carpenter Tracy!”

Scott flinched at the sudden loud bark of reproach directed his way as his Grandmother marched into the room, fire and brimstone in her wake. “You were not raised in a barn, young man.” Crap, his diminutive elder was not impressed, especially if she broke out the little known and seldom used ‘Bartholomew.’

He was the only brother out of the five to be graced with the additionally middle name, gifted to him as the first born from his great, great Grandfather. A Tribute to a war vet that his father had been blessed with as well and one that made Scott shudder every time he heard it.

“Well technically… “John piped up earning him a warning glare from Scott.

“Gee John, thanks for the warning.. “ Scott grumbled with little enthusiasm and dripping with sarcastic annoyance.

“I did,” John blinked.

Scott contemplated several ways to seek revenge over the tirade of the fierce and feisty Sally Tracy and most of them involved airlocks and a module full of moldy bagels.

John did his level best to hide his smile at the misfortune of the eldest. “I told you she was on approach and you know she has the ears of a bat, Scooter.”

Scott glared at the space nut but all he got in return was a very large grin before the monitor disappeared and the 3D rendition of his Godmother materialized.

“Colonel Casey” Scott acknowledges, his Grandmother patted his knee in greeting and settled down on the couch beside him, the vexed look still sparking in her cerulean gaze.

“Valerie,” His Grandma piped up. “You’re a sight for sore eyes”

“Scott. Sally.” A crisp, formal acknowledgement. Definitely a business call.

The tone made Scott straighten his spine, posture ramrodding as his years of military training kicked in. Pushing to his feet, the Commander of International Rescue took up the forefront of his mind. The dilemma of the current Tracy drama brushed aside as the call to arms; so to speak, was issued by his honorary Aunt’s projected persona.

“What can I do for you, Colonel Casey?”

“Orders come down the pipe, Scott. General Abner informed me this afternoon that World Council has declared Kazakhstan a no fly zone. All personnel, both combative and civilian are on evac orders effective immediately. As of 23:00, anything in or outbound found crossing restrictive airspace will be termed hostile and dealt with accordingly.”

“And as our liaison..?” Scott asked, bracing for the answer that he feared.

“I’ve been advised to inform you that the restriction extends to International Rescue as well. Under no circumstance is International; Rescue to enter that airspace. Any action will be seen as an act of aggression against the WC and those perpetrating said act are to be shot down.”

“Noted.”

“Scott, you need to abide by this ruling. This is from way up the food chain. There will be nothing I can do to help you if these orders are disregarded. “ Casey stressed. “You will be on your own.I’ve also been instructed that anyone aiding and abetting is to be brought in and prosecuted under the full force of the law.”

Meaning, the whole family would be under threat and the whole might of the GDF would be pointed in their direction. Even though they claimed no allegiance to any known entity, International Rescue and by turn the Tracy’s would be marked as traitors “I understand Colonel.”

Essentially the country has been walled off and Scott wasn’t sure how he felt about that. He just hoped that there would be no call out for iR in the vicinity of the damned country but he knew from experience hopes and wishes were very seldom taken into consideration.

-o-o-

Some 6,500km away, tucked under a remote mountain village on the furthest edge of Kazakhstan a display monitor beeped to life with the flow of garish, green text. Servos hummed, fans ticked on and a smile crept across the harshly angled face with amber eyes.

Piece by piece plans that had taken months to arrange were finally starting to come together. Money had passed hands, people had been bought, information exchanged and like pawns on a chessboard, the players were shifting into their places.

Looking at the board, the queen slipped into place and unbeknownst to all but one, the king now sat vulnerable. The end was in sight.

Let the games begin.

cheering on/up each other with phoenix (phoenix x reader)

summary: you two are each other's best motivators <3

word count: 780+

warnings: none

notes: this is part of the warm-up series, found on my masterlist + sorry for the wait, i was feeling really lazy so this one might be worse than the others. i'm also gonna post a special soon so be aware

“WOO! keep it hot, babe! not a problem for you!” phoenix shouted through the viewing window of the training room. it was your turn, along with kay/o on his now second try, to face max-bot. your boyfriend was being the hype-man he always was, even after his (first) loss against the machine.

with max-bot still stationary in front of you, awaiting your move, you turned around and waved towards the cheering agents with a smile, shooting a wink at phoenix.

the gunfire started as soon as you faced max-bot again, though of course, you and kay/o were not successful in taking him down. kay/o was once again left deactivated on the ground, and you were left no choice but to sprint out the doors, narrowly dodging an array of bullets behind you.

“ayyy, you did great out there!” phoenix said once kay/o was back online and the adrenaline wore off. as you inspected your gun and your body, he slung an arm around your shoulder where a bruise was forming. you hissed, and he quickly dropped his arm with a ‘sorry’ before resuming, “we’ll get them next time, yeah?”

you doubted it would be that soon, but the fiery optimism in phoenix’s eyes made it hard to disagree with him. “yeah, definitely!”

-

“LET’S GO, PHOENIX! bounce back harder, and prove yoru wrong!” you cheered, which earned a scoff from yoru next to you. the roles were switched, with phoenix back in the training room after a couple more losses from the squad.

you could tell that it was getting harder to be upbeat with the onslaught of defeats, but still he looked back at you with a spirited smile spanning across his face. “‘course, i'll do it for you, (y/n)!”

his thoughts were of your beaming face while he was battling, which may have not particularly benefited him or his partner, sova, in the rush of the fight.

you could tell that phoenix was being more reckless than usual, probably since your eyes were on him and he was distracted. he tried to pull off flashy stunts that he typically would get away with (just barely), but instead he mostly ended up blinding himself or sova, much to both of their chagrins.

“you almost had him,” you consoled when he came back into the room a little beat-up with bullet holes in his signature jacket again.

“yeah, almost.” he tried for a smile, though it turned into a wince while he moved to get a new jacket from his locker. you rubbed his back comfortingly as he internally sulked.

-

a couple more losses went by, and almost everyone was feeling pretty demotivated. however, through some stroke of luck, cypher managed to get through to phoenix.

he put down the chess piece he was holding with a reanimated look, like he was ignited again. “hey fam! let's go again! all together this time ‘round!”

“you have a plan, phoenix?” you asked from your seat on one of the couches, smiling with a raised eyebrow.

kay/o shook his head wearily. “when does he ever…”

“wellll, maybe i don't,” phoenix conceded, yet he still retained his determined smile, “but it won't do us any good workin’ separately, will it?”

when a thoughtful silence ensued, phoenix pushed on ever unabashedly, “ahhh, see, you lot agree with me, yeah?”

“save the wise words for cypher, pretty boy,” you teased, heading to the doors first, “but i’m in.”

that's all it took for everyone to be lining up at the doors with you, guns in hand. phoenix only lost his proud smile when he entered the room, summoning fire into his hand with a seriousness that only presented itself in battle. “that bot owes me a new coat.”

this time, you and phoenix were basically fighting side-by-side, so that he wouldn't be as preoccupied with how cool he looked surrounded by fire or how amazing you were doing.

eventually, max-bot was taken down with a well lined-up shock dart from sova. after an appearance of brimstone and sage, announcing for everyone to ready up, you congratulated everyone and moved on to praise phoenix. “you did great, phoenix!”

“i know, i know, but look at yourself! you were so hot—,” phoenix caught himself, cheekily smirking and continuing, “i mean, doing so hot, you're peng obviously— i couldn't stop lookin’!”

“believe me, i saw,” you snickered, following after the rest of the agents.

phoenix looked shocked, standing in place before catching up to you. “i'm seriously not that obvious! i was suuper sneaky. you have to be mad, love.”

the loving bickering continued until brimstone called, “come on, lovebirds. we don't have all day!”

[agentgumsh0e]

Okay gumshoe, Hear me out. Kay/o has a crush on (y/n) and he feels the robot equivalent of butterflies, and his crush gets bigger and bigger and for a moment he freaks out bcs he thinks hes malfunctioning And he tells this to brim (bcs I guess hes the only one kay/o trusts?) And he just starts laughing like a hyena.

"Whats so funny?! Im malfunctioning!"

"No you idiot! You like (y/n)!"

"Of course I like her!"

"No, you have a crush on her"

"A what?!"

Cue brimstone helping kay/o get a date with (y/n).

Brimstone being a wingman for his robot friend I think its so funny!

pt. 2 of this

“brim, i have a question,” kay/o said, standing in brimstone’s office despite there being a chair in front of him.

brimstone looked up from the stack of papers on his desk. “yeah? go on.”

“it's about (y/n). whenever i see her, i start getting,” kay/o hesitated, searching his databases for a word that could describe this strange feeling, “...jittery, like i'm glitching. there's got to be something wrong with my system.”

brimstone stared at the robot in disbelief before starting to laugh. it started off as a deep chuckle, then it became a hyena-like cackle.

“what's so funny? i'm malfunctioning!”

“no, kid,” brimstone said, wiping a tear from his eye. he’s never seen something like this in his years. a robot catching feelings for something other than hardware. “you like (y/n)!”

“of course i like (y/n)! why wouldn't i like her?” kay/o said, ready to defend you by listing all of your positive traits.

“no, i meant you like-like her,” he leaned forward in his chair to see that kay/o was still confused, the image on his face showing he was scanning his databases, probably to look up what ‘like-like’ means. “for godsakes, you have a crush on her!”

kay/o seemed even more bewildered at that. “a what?”

brimstone got up from his seat, the stack of papers on his desk ignored, and put a fatherly hand on kay/o’s shoulder. “c’mon, kid. i'll help you get a date with her. but first, let's learn what having a crush is.”
