As summer turned to Autumn and the days got colder and shorter, Phoenix and Dawn found themselves shifting focus to their careers. They both earned big promotions that led to higher stress and longer hours. With less time to see each other during the week, they made the most of what small pockets of time they could… like their 15 minutes over coffee in the mornings.
Tumblr media
Phoenix, who has been working for the San Myshuno Human Rights Commission, is now heading the Department for Housing and Community Development. At first, he was excited and had big plans for the future of the city. Unfortunately, it seems the more power he is given to make a positive impact, the more he runs into roadblocks and red tape. The stress and frustration started taking a toll.
Tumblr media
To cope with the stress, he began spending more time in Mt. Komorebi where he’d go snowboarding with his friends the way he used to before Kiyoshi ever presented the idea of climbing the mountain.
Nothing like the rush of flying down the slopes and landing massive jumps to get your mind off things, I suppose.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Dawn has been working for the Dreamer Foundation as an Event Planner. She organizes many of their fundraising events, and they’ve been doing so well that she’s started putting together more prestigious events for their larger donors. This, of course, comes with its own kind of stress and frustration.
Tumblr media
Rather than take off for the mountains though, she felt like she needed to make time to slow down and breathe. So, she started getting into wellness activities like yoga and meditation.
Tumblr media
Oh! Also, Atlas and Asher started coming over every Sunday to join them for dinner...
Tumblr media
...and to watch the latest season of Somnium.
Tumblr media
All four of them are now fully invested in the series. (how could they not be with a genius creator like @rebouks)

Dancing On My Own (Gambit X Reader, Part One)
Alrighty folks, this was meant to be a quick fluffy one shot that keeps getting longer and more angsty and has been sitting in my drafts for entirely too long now. Still very much a WIP that will be continued this week or next, PG13 for the time being with potential to take a turn for spicy down the line :)
A/N: Some quick background, the reader (Y/N in fic, described with she/her pronouns) is based off of an OC I tend to pull out pretty frequently. Half human, half angel, displaced from their home universe and dropped into this one (in which Lucifer, the tv show, is also cannon because why not maybe do a crossover down the line?). Gambit x Reader is the main ship we're sailing towards, but there's definitely some Logan x Reader if you squint. OH and last last thing, there's a party and I'm shamelessly linking the dress I had in mind for the reader here.
gif credit :) : @counterspelling
Dropping below a read more, don't be shy, come say hi when you're done reading! :)
“‘Stay for the summer!’ they said, ‘quiet and relaxing’ they said!” You throw the words you were told back at Jubilee who looks back at you completely unfazed as you continue untangling string lights to hang in the garden. 
“Honestly Y/N if you had stopped for two seconds to think about who was telling you that, you probably would’ve gone back to LA.” 
She was completely right, of course. You showed up to Xavier’s school not a mutant, not fully human either, and just looking for a place on the east coast to stay. Your uncle Lucifer made a few calls, found a friend willing to host a universe-displaced nephilim, and the rest was history. You might not be a mutant, but you were a partial human with powers you couldn’t always understand, and even other angels in this universe weren’t always able to help. Charles met and understood you quicker than anyone you’ve ever encountered in this universe or the next, so when you were asked to extend your stay and take on some guardian duties over the summer you were happy enough to agree. 
“Jean is the one who told you it would be relaxing, and Jean’s idea of relaxing is staying at a constant level 8 of activity.” 
“How is that not like the school year?” You rolled your eyes, dropping the lights. 
“Well during the school year she bounces between a 9 and 10, reserving 7s and 8s for the weekend. I can make you a diagram or something if you need it.” 
“I’m going to need a lot more than that by the time we’re done here.” 
“Maybe Gambit can help you with that?” Remy had sauntered over from the basketball court, at least that’s what you assumed given his current state of undress. 
“Unless you’re here to help decorate, I don’t think so handsome. If Jean catches us behind schedule the phoenix might make a reappearance…” You looked around and took a deep breath, realizing that other than the lights, everything looked pretty set. There was a reasonable sized clearing in the garden and Jean had hired a company to install a temporary dance floor. Chairs and tables were scattered around picnic style, and Jubilee had done an amazing job of setting up the bar despite being the only one unable to drink, legally.
“I think it’s actually just the lights,” Jubilee nodded to the messy pile at your feet, “And I think Gambit would be more help with that than me anyway, so?” 
“Go ahead,” you nodded smiling and she ran over to hug you, “And if you go to the mall, bring me back a pretzel!!!” You yelled after her knowing it was useless, she’d bring you a pretzel whether she heard you or not. 
“Avoiding me, chere?” Gambit eyed you with his usual flirtatious undertone that you couldn’t make heads or tails of. 
“In fact, I am. Grab that end?” You handed him the lights as he waited for an explanation, “Okay, I’m going to sit in the tree, I just need you to feed me the lights as we move. Ready?” You didn’t give him a chance to answer, disappearing and reappearing in the branch just above his head. 
Gambit stared back troubled and suspicious, so you nodded and gave him the sarcastic, albeit not entirely untrue, answer he was waiting for, “Oh Remy my attraction to you is just so strong and all consuming that I had to avoid you in order to get anything done at all. Every second I can’t throw myself at you is torture. Et cetera, et cetera, please start passing me the lights so I can go inside and shower.” 
He laughed and finally did as you said, “You know if you wanted ol’Gambit all you had to do was ask.” 
The two of you worked in a comfortable silence passing the lights through the trees. Just as you finished wrapping the last string, your footing slipped and you let out a quick yelp before bracing yourself for a fall that never came. 
“I never would have guessed angels could be so clumsy.” 
“If we weren’t you’d be short of a pickup line. Tell me honestly, how many times have you asked a lady if she fell from heaven?” Remy laughed and began walking away with you still in his arms. 
“Not as many as you think, chere. Are we about done out here?” 
You looked around and nodded, “Finally, yes. It was a good catch by the way, but I think I can walk on my own.” 
Placing you back on the ground, the two of you walked towards the mansion in another comfortable silence. Remy was probably tied with Jubilee as your closest friend in the school. You could remember the first day you arrived, how he couldn’t stop watching you. It wasn’t until later that same night, you were out in the garden and could still sense him watching you, that you decided to do something about it. You walked right up to him, introduced yourself, and asked him to kindly explain why he was staring at you like he’s seeing a ghost. 
It turned out the boy who grew up being told he was a demon had a lot of mixed feelings discovering angels and demons were not only real, but one of them was living under his roof. Remy felt a bit silly admitting it to you, but he owed you an honest answer when you confronted him so directly. And when he told you what people had said about him, what he suspected his own parents must have thought of him, your heart broke. You told him stories of all the demons and monsters you’ve encountered, and reassured him that he didn’t come close to fitting the bill.
“What’s on your mind, Remy?” There was quiet and then there was Quiet. You were still pretty new, but you knew well enough when something was bothering him.   
“Are you heading back?” You stopped short, and he stopped to face you. 
“Back where, Rem?” 
“Anywhere that’s not here.” He was facing you but he wouldn’t quite look at you, as if he didn’t actually want to hear the answer.
You took a deep breath, “The honest answer is that I don’t know. I don’t really feel like LA is where I belong, but I’m not a mutant or a gifted youngster either. I mean, I’m not even from this u-” 
“Okay, okay.” Gambit interrupted you with a hug, correctly sensing an impending panic attack from you, “Gambit just worried he won’t get to see you s’all.” 
You took a deep breath, sighing into the hug, “Well that’s really stupid.”  He pulled back to look at you, full of confusion. “It’s really stupid because if I were going anywhere you’d be the first person I tell, and because it takes me about 5 seconds flat to get anywhere. I’d be back before you even knew I was gone.”
You smiled wistfully and he returned it, “I’d know.” 
The two of you continued heading in and you finally felt brave enough to ask the question you’ve really been wanting to ask. 
“Well, I have to head up and start getting ready for tonight. What about you, getting ready for your date?” Of course, you weren’t sure he actually had one, but that was as direct as you could bring yourself to be. 
“Suppose I should be doing the same. Save Gambit a dance?” He kissed your hand and walked away, leaving you flustered and confused. You immediately pulled out your phone.
Y/N: okay so i said ‘gotta go get ready! what about you, getting ready for your date?’ and he said ‘suppose i should do the same’ what do we do with that??
JB: does he think you have a date?? 
Y/N: SHOULD i have a date??? 
JB: yeah, one of you should have asked the other out by now 
You dropped your phone on your bed, having finally made it to your room after a flurry of texts. Complicated feelings for your maybe best friend aside, it was still important to you to be slightly better than presentable tonight. 
Tonight was the first time all summer the adults of the mansion could relax and have a good time, and some non-residential mutants would also be joining the mix. You had never really been to anything so strictly social with the gang, and you didn’t take your invitation lightly. 
It wasn’t exactly formal, but Jubilee was able to confirm your suspicion that it wasn’t exactly casual either. You showered, taking more time than usual to exfoliate and moisturize, trying to pamper yourself into relaxing and getting excited for the night ahead, trying to ignore Remy’s words from earlier bouncing around your head. 
Two simple words that have had you in a tailspin since he said them so casually. ‘I’d know.’
The trouble maker in you wanted to test him on it, and you did a quick assessment of yourself to see if you could. Fresh out of the shower but mostly dressed, you were presentable. Should you take a quick trip overseas, hop over to France for some wine for tonight and back in a blink? You closed your eyes and heard a knock on your door just as you were about to take off. 
You opened your door more suspicious than you’d care to admit, suddenly paranoid that Gambit sniffed you out, but you were met with Jubilee instead, weighed down with garment and shopping bags from the mall. 
“You never answered me! I have your pretzel and you promised we’d do makeup together so-“ it was all the preamble she gave before forcing the pretzel on you and making herself at home in your room. 
“I was showering! And I really thought you were going to be gone longer?” 
“I just had to pick up some stuff I ordered for tonight, plus giving you and Gambit some time to flirt didn’t seem like a bad thing.” 
You rolled your eyes, “We have banter, definitely, but I’m not sure I’d call it flirting. He flirts with everyone.” 
“So you realize that what he does with you is different?” She turns it on you but you’ve heard it before. 
“Yes, different as in he’s not interested!” 
Jubilee made a sound of frustration before giving up and asking for help with contour. You dropped the subject and fell back into your usual routine, an easy friendship that reminded you more of sisters than friends. You showed up at the mansion looking for a place to stay while you visited old haunts, and you made a friend in Jubilee who was willing to venture into those places with you, even if it meant confronting ghosts.
“Lucky for you I think I found the perfect way to test his level of interest. You didn’t pick out what you’re wearing yet, did you?” 
“Well yeah, I was just going to wear-” You started motioning to the dress you picked for tonight, but Jubilee was moving and cutting you off before you even finished.
“Okay so scrap that, I grabbed something for you at the mall,” she reached for one of the garment bags she had laid across your bed, “and if this doesn’t get a reaction out of him, I’m at a loss. What do you think?”
She unzipped the bag and your eyebrows flew up so fast you wondered if they were still there. It was hot pink, sequined, and most noticeably, short and backless. You reached out to touch it and couldn’t deny how beautiful it was. Sure, the pink was a lot and it showed more skin than you were strictly comfortable with, but you couldn’t deny that the striped details of the sequins were gorgeous, or that the dress would hug and accentuate your curves…dangerously. 
“Now tell me what’s really going on because there’s no way you were able to afford this dress.” 
Jubilee snorted, “You got me, it comes with a letter.” She handed you a small envelope you promptly opened and started reading. 
‘Your young friend told me you planned to attend a party wearing some frumpy thing off a rack and that’s simply unacceptable for my niece, I have a reputation to uphold, Y/N ;) Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do! Sincerely, your Fairy DevilFather (p.s. TRY to have fun?)’
“Lucifer intervened to send me a dress?? How did you two even contact each other?” 
“I answered your phone once when he called while you were showering. We really hit it off, he actually sent me one too!” She excitedly pulled out another bag and showed you an equally gorgeous, albeit much more modest dress. Part of you wanted to argue, but another part of you realized how exciting this was for your friend and you weren’t about to let her down when she was waiting for you to join her excitement. 
“I think we might be best dressed tonight?” You smirked and she whooped, celebrating her victory. 
“Oh I’m ready, maybe everyone will finally accept the fact that I’m 20 and stop treating me like I’m still 15.” 
You knew it was a sore point for her, but you still smiled. The way all of the x-men treated Jubilee as their adopted child was something that endlessly warmed your heart, even if it frustrated your friend. The two of you took your time helping each other get your hair and makeup perfect before donning your dresses and leaving your bedroom, having already started to hear the arrival of a few guests and the slight murmur of conversation. 
You stopped just short of the stairs, turning to face Jubilee, “Don’t they say ‘fashionably late’ is a good thing?” Your anxiety was starting to get the best of you, wearing such a risque dress to attend a party with lots of new faces. 
“I think we’ve already reached fashionably late, babe, if we wait any longer they’ll think something is wrong.” You took a deep breath and started to make your way down the stairs. The mansion was empty, signalling that everyone else had already made their way out to the garden. 
The sun was just beginning to set when the two of you arrived to find the party already in full swing. Jean and Scott were dancing, Logan and Hank sharing a drink by the bar, and around 20 faces you had never seen interspersed with the rest of the team. You heard a low wolf whistle behind you and felt a hand on your lower back. 
“Breaking hearts tonight, chere?” Remy was on you before you could even turn to look at the sound. 
“If I’m lucky.” You shrugged. 
“Think I have enough of that for the both of us.” He winked and you tried and failed to suppress a snort that only made him grin wider. 
You turned to say something to Jubilee and your eyes narrowed when you realized the little traitor had run over to greet her friends, leaving you and Gambit alone. She looked your way and winked as you openly glared at her. 
“Well it looks like I’ve been ditched so I’ll need to borrow some of it.” You grimaced in the direction of the crowd, not needing to elaborate.  
“All yours, chere.” He offered you his arm and you accepted, making your way into the party and jumping right into a flurry of introductions, hugs and handshakes that Remy led you through, guiding you away when it was time to move on. 
It seemed innocent enough but you couldn’t stop focusing on the fact that Remy’s hands never left you. Whether it was an arm wrapped protectively around your waist or his hand on your exposed lower back, lazily tracing shapes you couldn’t make out, it was becoming increasingly distracting. He introduced you to Kurt and you only caught 30% of the conversation, too distracted by Remy’s hand tracing the curve of the dip at the back of your dress. You were relieved when Remy excused the two of you to go grab a drink.
“Admit it, not as bad as you thought.” Gambit smirked at you, leading you to a table where Logan and Jubilee were catching up. 
You rolled your eyes, “I never thought it would be bad, I just,” You took a deep breath, “I don’t know, I guess I was worried I wouldn’t fit in here, or that everyone would be wondering why I’m even here but too polite to say anything.” 
Logan and Jubilee both looked in your direction, hearing the tail end of your conversation that you didn’t bother hiding from them. Logan very openly looked you up and down before chuckling and taking a sip of what you suspected to be whiskey. 
“No one’s kicking you out of here looking like that, that’s for sure.” It was maybe the first time the wolverine had ever given you a compliment and you blushed. 
“You clean up rather nicely yourself, Logan.” 
“Then why are you spending all night with the cajun instead of talking to me?” You were surprised but did your best to cover it up, meanwhile Jubilee was fighting off a laugh herself by taking a sip of her drink.
“Because the cajun knows how a lady should be treated.” Gambit grumbled, leveling Logan with a look before departing briefly to get the both of you drinks.  
“Does he?” Logan asked you while you sat to join them, shooting him a quizzical look before he continued, “Know how to treat a lady?” 
“How much have you had, Logan?” You asked, eyeing his drink. 
“Not that much, darlin’. Answer the question.” If there was one thing you loved about Logan it was his lack of bullshit, and judging by the look on Jubilee’s face as she waited for your answer, right now it was probably her favorite thing about him too, 
“He’s been a perfect gentleman, but we’re just friends.” You tried to say it in a way that wouldn’t reveal how much that bothered you, but both of them knew better. Gambit returned a second later with your drinks and you only got two sips in before Logan insisted on a round of shots. 
One round turned into two, turned into three, turned into…you lost count. Jubilee was swaying happily in her seat, having convinced the two men to let her join in with half shots somewhere around round three. Everyone’s judgement was impaired by that point, but she made a great argument about drinking for the first at home where she’s safe or something else you couldn’t remember anymore in your happily inebriated state.
A song came on and you gasped, turning towards the dancefloor and excitedly announcing your love for the song. What it was called? You couldn’t remember if your life depended on it, but you needed to dance. You locked eyes with Remy who smiled but shifted his eyes away awkwardly, causing you to quickly deflate. 
“Have you even had a dance yet tonight, Y/N?” Logan asked you suspiciously. 
“Not yet.” You pouted, considering heading out on your own, dance partner be damned. 
“Knows how to treat a lady my ass.” Logan grumbled in Gambit’s direction, shooting a glare at him before getting up and begrudgingly but kindly offering you his hand. 
“Oh. my. GOD.” Jubilee squealed, far too gone to contain her excitement at the drama, as she would say.  
You beamed at Logan, accepting his hand and making a run for the dance floor, pulling him along behind you. 
“That crazy cajun might try to take my head off later for this.” Logan grumbled, settling his arms at your waist while you threw yours around his neck, getting closer than was strictly necessary so the two of you could continue your talk while dancing. Your eyes shifted over to where you just left your friends and you felt a stabbing pain in your chest when you looked for Remy just to see he had also made his way over to the dance floor, with Rogue. 
“I don’t think you have anything to worry about, Logan.” Your eyes were starting to tear up and you looked up trying to stop it as Logan became worried, turning to figure out what made you so upset. His eyes landed on Gambit and he growled, holding you a little closer as he actively tried to calm down. 
“I’ll kill him.” 
“You won’t.” You laughed, “He’s allowed to be with whoever he wants.”
“Yeah, but he’s not allowed to follow you around all night like a lovesick puppy just to ditch you when he catches another scent.” 
You smiled sadly, “He was being a good friend earlier, that’s it.” 
Logan pulled you closer and leaned down to whisper in your ear, “I watched his hands stray all over you, Y/N,” He touched your bare back to emphasize his point, “He’s not a friend, he’s a coward.” You couldn’t take it anymore and hugged Logan, hiding your face in his chest to let a few tears escape, hoping you would feel a bit better if you could get some of your distress out. 
“Might have to kill em for making you cry.” Logan grumbled and you laughed, smiling up at him despite yourself. 
“Believe it or not you’re helping enough like this.” The two of you continued dancing and Logan’s discomfort wasn’t wasted on you, but he’d be damned if he let the two of you leave that dance floor before Gambit and Rogue. He was making a point. 
The music began to slow down and Rogue and Gambit finally went their separate ways. You watched as Remy found Jubilee again and made their way back over to the table, you turned to Logan.
“Think we should head back?” He looked behind you and shook his head.
“We finally get a song that’s more my speed and you want to leave?” He shook his head no and pulled you closer, making you laugh and rest your head on his chest as the two of you swayed lazily. 
“Thank you, Logan. It’s not how I expected the night to go but I wouldn’t have gotten through it without you.” 
“Dancing with you looking like that isn’t exactly a punishment.” He snarked and you chuckled.
“Mind if I cut in?” You looked up to meet red eyes, Remy looking between you and Logan harshly before addressing you again more quietly, “Didn’t Gambit ask you to save him a dance?” 
You hesitated and Logan took that as his cue, “Bad timing cajun, Y/N just said she was getting dizzy, we’re heading back to the table.” Logan put his arm around you and lead you out of there, leaving Gambit to grumble and trail the two of you back. 
Jean had joined Jubilee to rest and eyed the three of you quizzically as you made your return.
“Y/N!! I found out that shots of vodka with cranberry juice is amazing, look!” She held out a shot for you and you grabbed it and threw it back before Logan and Remy could even finish their protests.
“Chere! Didn’t you say you were dizzy?” Gambit took the shot glass out of your hand, leading you to a chair. 
“From the dancing, Rem! I definitely haven’t had enough to drink yet.” 
Jubilee whooped and passed you another shot, clinking it to her own before you both threw them back. Jean looked at you even more confused and you tapped your temple with a wink, an agreed upon gesture inviting her to read your mind. 
“Rough night but I promise everything is okay, just need to drown my sorrows a little with you guys. Logan’s been doing his best.” 
You heard Jean’s response in your head, “Fair enough. I’ve been cutting Jubilee’s shots with a lot of cranberry juice. Seriously, a LOT.” 
You struggled to mask your laugh, “As I was saying, definitely not enough to drink, I’m gonna go-“ You stood and made your way to the bar on your own before anyone else could say anything, but you could feel a few sets of eyes watching you leave. 
Someone had been manning the bar, but as the night wore on and the guests dwindled, those of you remaining were left to fend for yourself. You assessed your options and reached for the gin, giving that a generous pour before adding sprite, a splash of cranberry juice, and a lime wedge before you can talk yourself out of it. 
“That looks amazing, can you make me one too?” Jubilee had appeared at your side and you smiled before making her a much more restrained version of yours. “Now I need you to tell me eeeeevery detail of you and Wolvie dancing I mean I neeeever-“ 
“To be clear,” you interrupted, sipping at your drink, “It was a pity save when it became painfully obvious Remy wasn’t going to ask.” 
“After spending literally all night following you around and basically growling at anyone that tried to get near you, what’s up with that??” She made a good point but you weren’t sure what she meant by that first part. 
“Pause, rewind, what are you talking about ‘basically growling’?” 
“You seriously didn’t realize how handsy he got with you when Kurt started getting friendly?” 
You realized you were drunk when you couldn’t stop the words from coming out of your mouth, “I was so distracted by him being handsy I didn’t even hear whatever Kurt was saying to make the connection.” 
Jubilee nearly spat her drink in your face and she started smacking you excitedly, “Can you please please go tell him that??” 
“But then he didn’t ask me to dance!! He pointedly looked away!!” 
“So Logan? What happened there?” You were starting to suspect your friend wasn’t nearly as inebriated as you thought, her tone sounding surprisingly sharp shifting gears. 
“I really don’t think there’s anything more than his mother-hen instincts going on there.” 
Her eyes rolled and she shrugged, “I’d agree if it was just one dance, but-“ 
“Again, pretty sure that was to save me from being zeroed in on Gambit’s dance with Rogue..” 
She didn’t have a response for that one and she simply clinked your drink before you both took generous sips, “Don’t tell Jean.” You whispered as you topped both of your glasses off before heading back to the group.
Jean had left to track down Scott who was mingling in the small groups that remained, some still dancing but most everyone else was doing the same as your small group. Jubilee bounced into the seat next to Logan and you drifted a beat too long before sitting next to Gambit. The silence that stretched between the two of you was no longer as comfortable as it was earlier, so you broke and piped up first. 
“I almost tested you earlier, you know.” 
“Almost?” Remy squinted at you, “Been testing me all night, chere.” 
You narrowed your eyes back but decided not to engage, continuing your thought instead, “When you said you’d know if I left?” His playful glare dropped and he waited on your next words, “Just a quick trip before the party but still, decided against it.” 
Remy chewed on what you were saying and not saying, wondering how the night had gotten so far away from him. Everything started out better than he expected, getting to show you around the party, not letting you too far out of sight in that dress, and then the hesitation. His own doubt sneaking in, reminding him that Y/N is quite literally an angel, he knew her place in the world, but his? He looked over at you waiting for a response and decided that didn’t matter right now.
“Still have sea legs or are you about ready for that dance, chere?” He didn’t leave you much room to answer, already standing with his arm extended. 
“You know I literally just sat back down, right?” He rolled his eyes at you, grabbing your hand and pulling you to your feet alongside him. Your night was clearly nowhere near over and you gave in, letting Remy lead you back onto the dance floor and into his arms.

Mattheo was sitting in his bed thinking of y/n and remembering them before it all went dark. Once he had opened his eyes he had noticed an old friend that he and y/n had taken a liking to, was watching him.
“Tell me what actually happened to y/n” he told Mattheo. His name was Jordan and had been y/n’s friend for years. “I told you all I know” Jordan didn’t believe him so he ended up punching him.
Mattheo would have hit him back but his legs and hands were tied with rope on a chair. “Let me go” he tried escaping but it was no use. “You put yourself in this” Jordan told him with a smirk.
Mattheo had no idea what he would do but he didn’t want to think of y/n. He didn’t answer him but saw Jordan grab a remote and turned the tv on. Jordan got out his wand and penetrated Mattheo’s mind. Small bright pictures began showing up on the screen. Pictures of y/n and videos were playing of her too.
YEAR 1:
It was a bright sunny day as the sun shone down onto both of them. “Hey I’m y/n, nice to meet you” she said waving to Mattheo. “Mattheo, Mattheo Riddle” he expected her to run away screaming but instead she stood there smiling. “Have you had a nice day?” “Besides everyone freaking out at me then yeah, suppose”
Y/n was scribbling away at a small potions test that she couldn’t understand. “I can’t do this,” she muttered. Mattheo was sitting next to her and noticed how tense she was. “The answer is dragon heart and phoenix tear” he whispered to her. “Thanks”
YEAR 2:
“Do you think if there is an actual heir of Slytherin that’s opened the chamber?” Y/n asked Mattheo as she started reading some books about potions. “Maybe, I’m not believing anything till I see solid proof” he simply told her. Harry,Ron and Hermione were frantically running and splashing in the water and soon the teachers were rushing over..again. “There’s your proof, Riddle” she said before turning away.
“Mr Riddle please come this way” McGonagall had told Mattheo, taking him out of his lesson.”Now, this may be a shock” she said, guiding him into the infirmary. His jaw dropped realising that y/n was petrified on the hospital bed, Her hands were reading a book that was labelled ‘history of Hogwarts’ and her face looked like she had only just lifted up her head. “She was facing a mirror, take your time Mr Riddle” she said before leaving Mattheo sitting next to the frozen y/n.
YEAR 3:
“Those dementors scare the living daylights out of me” y/n laughed. “Well as long as they're doing their job I’m not bothered”. It was lunchtime as they were all gathered in the hall. “Do you think they’ll catch him? Sirius I mean” Mattheo thought about her question before responding. “I mean they have to”
The quidditch match wasn’t a great idea considering the fact there was a massive rain and lightning problem. “They honestly shouldn’t be letting them do this but it’s fun to watch” y/n said cheering people on. “It really is,” he agreed looking at y/n.
YEAR 4:
“Who are you hoping to win?” y/n asked Mattheo as they both were cleaning out their dorms but y/n came to help Mattheo clean his. “I’m not bothered who wins. Have you heard about the yule ball?” he asked. “Of course I have, why?” Y/n tied her hair into a bobble as a quick thing to stop her hair going into her face. “I was wondering if you wanted to go with me” y/n stopped doing everything. “Are you serious?” “You don’t have to-” “I would love to go”
“Oh my god, Theo someone’s dead” y/n told him as the body of Cedric was laying on the field. “It’s Voldemort, he’s back” Harry yelled. Y/n knew this was a sensitive subject as her best friend was the son of him. “Theo, ignore it” she held his hand to comfort him even though she knew she wasn’t great at comforting someone.
YEAR 5:
“Amortentia is the most powerful love potion in the world. It’s said to smell different to what attracts them” Hermione explained to Professor Slughorn. Y/n was talking with Mattheo about how he was now a player for quidditch until Professor Slughorn stopped them. “Y/n, Mattheo why don’t you come up and test this Amortentia” They knew they had no choice so they unwillingly walked over. “I smell vanilla and watermelon” Mattheo said, causing the other girls fawning over him to back away. “I smell..a cologne and,uh, cigarettes” y/n placed her hand on her arm and went to the back of the class distancing herself from Mattheo. They both knew he had smelt her and she had smelt him.
Mattheo was playing quidditch with his big supporter, y/n, cheering him on. “YOU CAN DO IT THEO!” she yelled as he scored a goal and massive cheers and claps flooded everyone’s head. “150 points to Slytherin” the commentator said. “100 points to Ravenclaw” the golden snitch zoomed past Mattheo as he told his teammate where it was. “SLYTHERIN HAS WON”. Afterwards, a small slytherin party was held for congratulations. “You know, you did better than I thought you would” y/n told him as he rolled his eyes. They shared glances as y/n noticed his eyes going from her left eye to her right and then to her lips. They both stepped in front of each and planted a kiss on each other’s lips.”Will you be my girlfriend?” he asked as she immediately nodded.
YEAR 6:
“Are you hiding something from me Theo?” she asked him as she started noticing his strange behaviour. “What do you mean?” “You keep skiving lessons, disappearing for days on end and not telling me where you’ve been. And I swear I’ve seen you going somewhere with Draco and pretending like you don’t even know what I’m on about” she felt relieved to let it all out. “I can’t tell you” “Yes you can, because I’m just going to think the worst. Like you fancy someone else or you’ve joined a cult or you hate me or something even worse like-” “I'm a death eater okay!” he blurted as y/n’s face dropped. “Are you serious?” He pulled up his sleeve to show the dark mark. “Why didn’t you tell me?” “I was afraid you’d hate me” he muttered more to himself than to y/n. She didn't yell at him, she didn't do anything but one thing she did do was hug him. Tightly. "I don't care, I just wanna know that you're okay"
Dumbledore's dead body plummeted to the ground causing alarm to anyone. The glass chandeliers smashed by Bellatrix as y/n and the other pupils started forming around what had happened. Y/n stood there noticing Mattheo with all the bad people. "why?" she mouthed, he bowed his head down as they all apparated away. "good god" she whispered.
YEAR 7:
"Have you seen Mattheo?" Hermione asked y/n as she stood their with Ron and Harry. "No I haven't" she coldy said. "Do you have an idea-" "No I don't! If I did I wouldn't be sitting here in Hogwarts" she yelled causing attention to herself. "Now please leave me alone" she said picking up her books and heading to her dorm. Pictures of them both were stuck to her wall so like a spitefull person she ripped them off the wall.
Voldemort and his followers stood in the grounds of Hogwarts as Mattheo came into view. Y/n rushed over so he could see her "You are such an asshole" she told him. Mattheo stood by his hand for a second till he decided to run over to her. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I had no choice" he was begining to panic. "Yeah well I still care for you no matter what you do" they both slightly laughed and it eased the tension. "My boy has gone soft has he?" they heard him say. "I rather be soft than be like you" he told Voldemort. He got out his wand and yelled "Crucio!" y/n was sent on the floor screaming in pain. "Father stop it, now!" indeed his father did stop using crucio but on one condition. "Kneel to me son" Mattheo lowered his leg onto the ground and bowed down to him. His wand was twisting about in his hand before he yelled a spell unleashing mayhem and Harry leapt out of Hagrid's arms. "Run!" Mattheo told y/n as she began disarming the witches and wizards. Mattheo was running with her before one of Voldemort's followers followed them both. They were getting close to a ledge that none of them wanted to fall down."How dare you disrepect the dark lord over a silly little girl" he cast a spell sending y/n falling down the abyss. "Avada kedavra" he said killing the man. She was holding onto Mattheo's hand. "Let go, you'll be okay" he kept shaking his head. "You can't hold on, I love you" "I love you too" she let go off his hand as she plummeted into the ocean.
••
"What did you want to get out of this?" Mattheo asked Jordan. "To know the truth about how she lived oh sorry I mean died" Jordan said. Mattheo gave him a puzzled expression before he pressed onto his arm and two men, tall and scruffy, stood with a girl in the middle with shoulder length hair. "Y/n?" he asked as his tears were mixing in with the blood from the punch. "Theo?". "I thought you died, I saw it" the blood dripped onto the floor and y/n's stomach churned. "Well turns out I almost did but Jordan sorta saved me. So, I wanted to go to you but me and Jordan had a deal so I couldn't"
Mattheo's eyes darted from Jordan to the guys and then to y/n. "You didn't even send me an owl or anything to let me know that you were alive. I was fucking hurting thinking it was all my fault when in reality you just lied, for months" Jordan was watching from afar "come on boys let's leave em to it" he said before they apparated away. "I did try to send an owl to you but my owl sent it back so of course I thought the worst. Jordan told me he went on a search to find you but said he couldn't" she explained. Mattheo couldn't pinpoint why she couldn't just tell him she was alive to save him from all the guilt and grief. "You could have told me that day but you didn't" "I was unconscious and thought I did die until I woke up and saw Jordan looking after me"
Y/n untied Mattheo from the ropes and let him stand up "I won't forgive myself for not telling you" "yeah well I still care for you no matter what you do" they couldn't help themselves from smiling. "I'm just glad you're okay, I still love you" "I still love you too"

BABY ON BOARD HAS A WHAT-?!
Pairing: Bob Floyd x Reader/Bob x OC (Nurse Anna)
Other Characters: The Daggers (+ JenPen Mitchell) and a few other background characters
Timeline: Set some time after The Uranium Project
Setting: The Bradshaw Household
Tumblr media
It was an delightful Tuesday afternoon, the sun was shining brightly but it was windy and a bit chilly outside. The crew was mostly there expect for Amber who was assigned with a few meetings with her father that day, other than that the Daggers were together at The Bradshaw Mitchell household.
Usually they would be outside on the patio but it was too windy to sit outside today, so they all hang out inside in the connected kitchen and living room area. Fanboy, Phoenix and Payback were fighting over which set of movies watch next on the flat screen Tv while Coyote and Bob was helping Rooster fixing the front windows that seemed to go scratched from week…let’s just say it no more playing inside.
JenPen was putting away groceries that they brought earlier while Hangman was sipping a beer in the kitchen island nearby one of the stools, plugging in everyone phones to charge.
“Hey, what time is Angel coming back home?” Jake asked using Amber’s nickname instead as he glances at his Instagram account.
“Why? You miss your girlfriend?” Jen teased the pilot, grabbing a bite of the freshly washed grapes left on the kitchen counter.
“Wha—No! I mean yeah, of course I do, Miss Bradshaw.”
“Mitchell—Bradshaw, actually. When I do get married, I might keep my last name.”
“Pfff, Bradshaw is too much a chicken to finally find a ring and propose to you.”
“Be nice, you’ll be Uncle Hangman one day you will have to be on your best behavior.”
Jake laughed at the nickname and rolled his eyes, “What you doing this weekend?”
“Uhh, I got to study the metrics for a few planes and might just wash my hair afterwards.” Jen said with a simple shrug and smile.
After a while, Coyote and Bob took a break from helping Bradley with the window. Javy went to wash his hands in the kitchen while Bob headed to the bathroom upstairs to wash his face. While Javy was drying off his hands, he heard a light ping coming from the section of phones being charged.
Coyote raised an eyebrow, checking to see who’s phone it was exactly. He flipped though the phones and lightly tapping each other curiously until another message came in. It was Bob’s phone.
You could’ve sworn Javy did a double take as he saw the message, the poor man’s jaw dropped. The message first being a photo dump of the beautifully made sky outside and the new message said ‘Hey darling! How are you?💘’
“Huh?” Javy muttered, he tries not to be curious about his friends business because everyone tends to be somewhat open with a lot of things. But this caught his eyes since he never heard of Bob Floyd having a lady. He read the caller ID and continued, “Who’s Nurse Anna?!”
Javy’s yell caught everyone in the room’s attention, all faces whipped around towards the tall man in confusion. Everyone expect Phoenix who was sorta listening but too busy texting Lieutenant Magnet Kenner about god knows what. Rooster was sitting next to his girlfriend messaging her tired shoulders as he asked, “Uh, what?”
“Who’s Nurse Anna?!” Coyote repeated again as if it was obvious the first time he questioned the name.
“Uh context please, pal..” Said Payback turning his head from the couch to look at him.
“I was drying my hands after helping Roo with the windows and I heard a ping coming from one of the phones. So I went to check who’s phone it was and guess who’s phone it was?”
“Who’s?”
“Bob’s!”
“Relax, it’s probably a friend of his from work.”
“A friend? Oh really?! A friend who’s a nurse…?”
“Uhh yeah…”
Fanboy stood up from the flooring in the living room to see the messenger ID on Bob’s phone lock-screen. Later on another message popped up from Nurse Anna saying 'Change of plans I might not be free Friday but we can definitely do Saturday instead 💞'.
Mickey smiled and let out a small chuckle reading it out loud, “Uhh I don’t know Ruben, the contact on the ID says Nurse Anna with a blue heart emoji! She called him ‘Darling’ in the two messages she sent to Bob. She asked about meeting up on Saturday and added a few love emojis too! I don’t think it’s a normal friend from work kinda thing…”
Coyote joked, “What? You think they’re just hooking up?! Like a causal hook up? Gahhhh no, that’s not Bob’s thing, last time I checked.”
The trio kept arguing on who is this Nurse Anna girl was and acting like they were trying to decipher a mystery case. JenPen added in a few jokes about how ridiculous they were acting, however she was just as curious about it all.
Hangman thought it was just a casual weekly hook up between the their friend and some pretty girl or something. The loudly voiced conversation kept going on for more than two minutes as all the Daggers expect Phoenix, who was just watching all of them discuss the matter at hand.
Little did they all know Robert ‘Bob’ Floyd was upstairs, standing in the hallway near the staircase hearing everyone, trying his hardest not to laugh.
Rooster eyebrows bounced motion and laughed as he exclaimed, “Damn! Well it looks to me that our WSO has himself a little girlfriend.”
Hangman was sipping his second beer as his mind was clearly in space. Soon enough his eyebrows popped up and he almost spit out his drink coughing, “BABY ON BOARD HAS A WHAT—?!”
“Awww he fell for a nurse.” Jen says in pure awe how Bob was probably in love, leaning into Bradley’s warm touch on her shoulders.
“I’m still on the part where Bradshaw said GIRLFRIEND!” Hangman said chuckling and coughing a bit.
“I think it’s cute.” Fanboy replies with a smile, “And she sounds super sweet!”
The conversation contained so much energy and no one noticed that Bob was gone, since they more focused on the mysterious lady.
Fanboy thinks she’s blonde with green eyes, Hangman thinks she’s gotta be a redhead with green eyes, Ruben believed she was a nurse on base for the longest time, JenPen guessed that she must’ve been one of the most talented nurses in school and Coyote had a gut feeling Bob met her months before they all returned to Top Gun for that mission.
Rooster was curious as he stated his questions to the group, “Who can she be? I never heard a nurse named Anna...or so I think?”
“I bet she’s hot! Like super hot!” Hangman said grinning as Coyotes chuckles slapping his shoulder mutter for him to shut up.
Ruben turned to Phoenix smiling, “Your awfully quiet, anything you’ll like to share with the class?”
Phoenix looked up from her phone confused, “What do you mean? Just because Bob and I fly together doesn’t mean I know everything about ‘em, he probably met her one day before we all met at the bar or something. Last time I checked nurses need a night off to have fun too.”
“Your sure about that? Phoenix you fly and eat together, you share teaching tips together. Also you guys even shared a life or death experience together with all of us. I feel like you know something!”
“Well I-”
Suddenly they all heard footsteps and the room went silent, some of them noticing their teammate walking into the living room. They all waited and looked around as if they were just caught in the act of a horrible prank.
“Phoenix doesn’t know because she was passed out in a hospital bed in another room, when it happened.” Said the voice of the man who’s phone started all of this with a soft smile. Bob stood there leaning against the wall fixing his glasses and trying not to laugh at their faces. Especially Natasha’s confused one.
Everyone turned to Bob in shock and motioned for him to continue. He said, “Well, after the whole bird strike that went down that same day, Phoenix and I was sent the to the med bay, when I met her. I woke up, less than half an hour after it happened, doctors came and checked on me. Then Anna walked in…she came in with extra blankets and check on my IV, to see if I needed anything…”
“And?” Phoenix asked, waving her hand gently as if to cue in that she wanted more information about this.
“She was pretty. I didn’t have my glasses on and I've just woken up with a headache, so my vision I was still slightly blurry, but I could tell she was absolutely stunning dressed in her blue scrubs and her brown hair that was in a ponytail…and she was very kind.”
Hangman smiled, “That’s her job, Bob, to be kind and treat patients well, for they can try and get better.”
Rooster looked up glaring at his blonde savior, “Who’s telling the story? Him or you?”
“Him duh!”
“Then let him tell it, Bagman!”
“Yikes..sorry, Floyd continues please, she sounds pretty nice.”
Bob smiled laughing softly and continued, “Because she is! Gentle and passionate too. She stayed with me for a while, asked how I was doing at the moment and what is my job in the Navy. Uh, eventually we started talking about movies and music, and then before she left to go see other patients..I asked her out, telling her once I got out the hospital and could be finished with our missions, I would like to take her to a nice restaurant…”
JenPen smiled listening as she heard Fanboy asking, “She called you darling? How long have you two been going out?”
“Oh no! She calls every single one of her patients darling or dear but for me darling just stuck I guess. I call her doll or honey, sometimes sweetie.” Bob said the last few nicknames with a laced dreamy smile as if thinking about his lady.
“You didn’t answer Fanboy’s questions though! How long?! I gotta—” JenPen asked but was cut off with a hand covering her mouth.
Rooster had his hand covering his girlfriend’s mouth snickering and looked up at Bob smiling, “Go on. She’s quiet now.”
Once again Bob laughed shaking his head and went on explaining, “We’ve only being seeing each other for 8 weeks more or less, with our busy schedules and all. I wanted to keep our relationship a secret for a while. You know, just the two of you and see where it goes."
Coyote rubbed the back of his neck chuckling awkwardly, "And I let it slip..I'm sorry man, I didn't know and you know I can get a little nuts sometimes."
"It's perfectly fine, I was expecting for you guys to find out eventually this month or so. Actually glad it wasn't Jake."
Hangman looked up with his eyes widen offended and gasped somewhat loudly, "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN-?!"
"You would've texted Javy! Better yet, you would've called Amber then she would've told the all ladies!"
"I wasn't going to do that!"
"Oh really?"
Bob pointed to the iPhone in Jake's hand brightly lit as his fingers were on paused. Robert asked, "Who were you texting, Hangman?"
"No one." Jake exclaimed quickly, closing the messages that he was sending to his girlfriend and throws his phone on the couch. Everyone's eyes darted to the iPhone that showed messages from Amber popping up like crazy.
"You were saying.."
"Shit."
All the group could do was laugh and roll they’re eyes at this point from seeing the scene play out. Truly none of them were sad or annoyed Bob for keeping such a darling secret, it’s his life and he should be able to keep such good things to himself, of course when JenPen and Bradley did say that when Bob and his lady were ready they would love to meet her one day. Bob appreciated the welcoming ideas and support he’s getting as he went on to actually reply to Nurse Anna’s text messages knowing she might be busy but 100% checking her phone waiting for a reply soon.
Coyote kept apologizing for spoiling that little surprise even though no one was really mad at him or anything, as Fanboy and Payback sending all the good thing to their teammate’s way. As for Phoenix, she was very much happy but a little disappointed in herself for not finding out sooner or at least pick up the clues firsthand.
If your wondering about Hangman, he left the gang early to pick up his lady and well this happened…
Jake sat in the car, opening the door seeing Amber as he grinned like an idiot bursting to tell her everything that happened today. And once Amber climbed into her seat grinning and buckled in her seatbelt she said, “Ok, oh my god. Tell me everything!”
“Yes!” Jake shouted as he buckled in his own seatbelt, “Baby on board has a girlfriend! I was like ‘What? That’s crazy?!’ I didn’t believe it, but from what I heard she’s really pretty cute and she’s a nurse.”
“Ugh! Why is it that the day I have to work, is that day all the good things happen? Let me guess, you found out!”
Hangman snickered, “Nope!”
“Then who?”
“Coyote.”
“What?!” Amber gasp laughing.
Let’s just say the rest of the ride home was full of gossip and laughter from that one single car. The rest of day went as follows, Coyote and Payback went out to keep helping Rooster with the broken window, Fanboy and Bob chatting about their day and future relationships, while Phoenix and JenPen were ordering stuff on Amazon as they fixed up a few things around the house.
Thank you for reading this story and I really hope you liked it! 💙

Family line
The noise of the briefing room was at a gentle hum as the group of aviators waited for their commanding officer to arrive. The chatter from the pilots and WSO’s was a satisfying buzz of quiet enthusiasm, even at the early hours of the morning. Rooster was talking with Phoenix and Bob about their weekend activities. Fritz, Omaha, Yale and Harvard were at the back of the room discussing the new top gun recruits and ,most likely, how they can mess with them. Halo was talking animatedly with Steel about a new show and Coyote was sitting next to Hangman, leaning over taking to Payback and Fanboy.
Jake wasn’t listening, he couldn’t. The gentle buzz of the room sounding like a loud static TV blaring in his ears. The room felt like it was getting smaller. He tried to keep his breaths even, while not bring attention to himself. The memories that had torn into his mind during night were still as fresh as if they had just happened yesterday.
The sound of John yelling, the fear and upset he felt and the flash of that assholes face. He hated it, hated that 13 years later he still managed to make him feel so scared, so small. For god sake, he was a navel pilot. He was in life or death situations almost everyday, it was pathetic. His leg started to bounce as the anxiety of the thoughts washed over him. He disassociated from the world, couldn’t hear anything, anyone.
All he could see was the angry face of his dad, he felt frozen he couldn’t move. He could do anything. He was stuck. He need out. He need to get out. He couldn’t. Everything was blurry, muffled.
He could faintly hear his name being called. The voice. He knew the voice. Who was it. He felt a hand on his shoulder, flinching, he turned to who it was in a panic. Javy. It was just Javy. Everything came rushing back to him all of a sudden. He was in a briefing. He looked up. When did Maverick get here? Mav was looking at him concerned. He must have been who was saying his name. The room was quiet until Maverick broke the silence. “Lieutenant, are you alright?” Maverick asked. He cleared his throat “Yes sir.” He said, he caught Alex’s eye, she was watching him and then Jake realised everyone was.
“Don’t worry Captain. Bagman’s just worried about all the push ups he’s gonna have to do after he gets trashed during dogfight training today.” said Rooster looking at him smirking. “Very good Bradshaw.” He replied in a monotone voice. Rooster looked at him confused, so did everyone, he was expecting a snarky reply or at least some form of an insult thrown at all of them. The confused and worried looks everyone was giving him annoyed him. Why do they care!? Why did they have to be so concerned about his personal life all the time? “Can you all stop looking at me?” He looked around at everyone, who all looked away out of embarrassment. “Maverick clearly has some stuff to tell us, so just listen to him.” He said settle back into his seat.
This made Maverick even more concerned. Since when did he want to listen to him? Mav looked at his daughter, her gaze still fixed on Jake. He knows that look, she was worried, really worried. Alex turned in her seat making eye contact with Mav. She tapped the side of her glasses, their code for wanting to talk to him after. He nodded. “Ok, well I was saying Rooster, Hangman and Steel will be the first in the air today. Rooster you’ll be the team leader and it’s just basic dogfight training. To start the day off. Dismissed.” They all nodded, Jake leapt off his seat and rushed to get changed, the rest of them followed but Alex hung back.
“What’s going on?” Mav said walking over to her. She bite her lip, she looked around checking for people. Alex took a deep breath, trying to stop herself from getting emotional. “I….i can’t tell you. I….just need” she sighed “You just need to trust that Jake can’t be in the air today. It’s a bad idea.” Mav stepped closer to her. “What’s going on , honey?” He quietly asked. She looked at him and then away. “I……I would but I can’t……Im sorry” she started tearing up “It’s Jake’s stuff to tell. I can’t.” He rested his hand on her shoulder. “Are you guys alright?” He asked. “Yeah, we’re ok. It’s his…..I can’t. Just trust me. Please. I don’t want him to hurt himself or anyone else.” She whispered.
Maverick hugged her. She held back tight to him. He pulled back and sighed. “I can’t I put it in the brief this morning to Cyclone and the plan was you, Bradley and Jake were to be first in the air.” He spoke softly. “You can’t do anything?” She said exasperated. He shook his head “Im sorry Hun”. “Ok…….I’m sure it will be alright.” She said looking worried. “Just….keep an eye on him.” “Of course” Mav pulled her into a tight hug again. “Im sure he’ll be ok. Whatever, it is going on” She sighed. “Look….I’ll tell you but no one else can know.”
All four of them were up in the air, Rooster and Alex were preparing to get their asses kicked by mav and it was only 8 in the morning. Jake ,however, was far off in the dark memories that had been creeping into his mind all morning. Maverick was approaching them from their rear about 20 meters out. “Good morning Aviators, You guys know the script, try shoot me down before I shoot you down.”
The three pilots were flying in arrow form, Rooster in the middle, Alex to his left and Hangman to his right. “So Hangman, why so jumpy at the brief this morning.” Rooster said, you could almost hear the smirk on his face. “I don’t think that’s any of your damn business Bradshaw” he snapped back. This surprised Rooster as he had never heard that tone on Jake before. “Alright, alright. Don’t try shoot me down, we’re on the same team”. Hangman hummed. Alex looked over to him, he was looking forward like he was purposefully avoiding her eyes. He was. He knew if he looked at you he would break down and was determined that that wouldn’t happen today, not yet anyway.
Alex looked ahead “You ladies done chatting. Keep your eyes on the skies”. Just as the words left her mouth Mav dived from above them, cause the three to disperse. Rooster ,as team leader, had them line up. Rooster, then Jake and Alex at the back. “Steel break off right. We can try cut him off from the front.” Ordered Rooster. “On it”.
As Alex moved she could no longer see Jake. She could see that he was losing his concentration. That he was slowly breaking in and out of reality as the memorise pushed to the forefront of his mind. “No, not right now” he whispered to himself. His breathing became heavy and fast, eyes filling with tears as he remembers that hellish night.
Jake always wonder what the perks to living on a ranch in the middle of nowhere had. I guess one was the neighbours couldn’t hear you arguing because ,well,they had no neighbours. It meant cops didn’t show up during those midnight arguments that had went on for hours, just like this one.
“How many times do I have to tell you not to spend my goddamn money!” Jake’s dad yelled “I told you not to buy that fucking car. That ungrateful shit doesn’t deserve my money, you stupid bitch.” Jake was listening on the stairs. Sitting in his guilt as he listen to his mother cry. He couldn’t intervene until he hit her otherwise he would be told to go back upstairs. No, when John hit her then Jake could help her, threaten to call the cops but not tonight. No, tonight Jake had found Johns shotgun. He wouldn’t use it on him, just scare him off, hopefully for good.
“I do everything in this goddamn house. I work nine to fuckin five everyday and you waste my money like this!” John continued to yell. Every insult just added to Jake’s anger giving him more confidence in what he was doing. The car they were arguing about was a birthday present for Jake. He didn’t ask for it but his mum surprised him with it. That rusting, dirty pile of eroding metal was the best thing Jake owned. Until his dad came in after work, smelling of booze, as usually.
Jake heard a noise from upstairs to see his sisters. Mia was holding Missy the youngest while Emma held on to her older sisters arm. He hesitated, this was a bad idea, not in front of them. This can’t be how they remember him. This can’t be the memory that comes to mind when they think of their big brother. He was about to go back upstairs, put the gun away when he heard it. The unholy sound that haunted Jake still and the sound that changed Jake next movements. His mum let out a shriek, “John no, put…put that away please…” she begged. Jake moved fast as he stormed into the kitchen. He aimed the gun at John’s back. He had a knife, looking down at Jane in the stance of a man about to plunge that knife and do what would haunt his kids worst nightmares.
“Put it down.” Jake managed to say with a steady voice. His stomach turning in on itself. John turned around “Put that away boy. Before you hurt yourself” his dad said sternly. “Put it down” John laughed “You ain’t got the nerve to do shit, boy.” Jake cocked the gun “Wanna find out, asshole.”
John looked between his wife and Jake before he dropped the knife on the floor. He stepped towards Jake. “What now boy. You gonna shoot me.” John sneered. “I don’t need to.” He moved closer to his dad, the gun touching his chest. “Leave now or I’ll tell everyone about you and the McKenzie girl you’ve been fucking. How old is she? 16?” It was Jake’s turn to laugh. “You should really make sure you’re not being followed next time you go on your little midnight adventures.” “You-“ John stopped himself. “Fine Ill go”
John began to walk out of the kitchen, Jake followed his movements with the gun not letting his guard down for a second. The John lunged at his son but Jake was ready he hit his dad with the end of the gun before grabbing him by his clothes and dragging him out of the house. John got to his feet outside and punch his son in the face. Jake took his invitation and launched himself at his dad, taking 17 years worth of pent up rage out on Johns face. Jane ran outside desperately trying to stop her son. He finally listen to his mother’s pleas to stop.
“You go now and don’t ever come back or I’ll tell everyone your a wife beating, cradle robbing piece of shit.” Jake yelled at him, the rage and anger wash over, through and out of him. John opened his mouth to say one thing but closed it and pathetically ran to his truck and before Jake and his mom knew it he was gone. “He’s finally gone.” Jane whispered. At this she broke down, sobbing into her sons arms. Repeatedly apologising between sobs.
The panic and anxiety of that night filled Jake when he thought about it but right now it was coming back in tenfolds. He was getting claustrophobic in the plane cockpit. His fight or flight was kicking in and the familiar urge to run washed over him. It was getting worse he couldn’t breathe, his vision was blurry, he couldn’t think. He need to go, he need out and away from here. Now.
In his panic, he didn’t see Rooster begin to slow down. He didn’t even realise what was happening until a comforting but panicked voice was heard over the radio. “Hangman watch out!” yelled Alex. He panicked as he saw the other pilot right ahead of him. He surged downwards in a dangerous and very illegal move. Only to realise Alex was right underneath him, they must have changed positions. A worse pilot wouldn’t have been able to get out of his way, but Alex did. “Shit, Steel are you ok?” Came the concerned voice of her dad. “Yeah yeah I’m fine Maverick”
“What the hell hangman! Watch where you’re flying” came roosters voice. “Shit, s……sorry I….i icant i need too..” he stuttered. Alex heard it the moment he spoke. She heard, saw it in him this morning. Why didn’t Mav listen to her! “Maverick, I think we should get back to solid land” she looked over to his plane as he caught up with them. “Yeah, everyone head to base” Maverick saw the look she gave him, the look of ‘why didn’t you listen to me’.
They all safely got back on solid ground. As soon as the plane touch ground, Jake almost ran out off his plane to the changing rooms. He knew what was happening, what was coming. He didn’t need his colleagues seeing that let alone his father-in-law/commanding officer. He heard Rooster and Alex call after him, he didn’t stop. He could stop. Rooster ,however, was quick and caught up to him, was right on his heels interrogating him. “Dude, what the hell was that back there. You nearly killed me and then nearly did the same with Alex. Then ,what, you run off cause your ego got hurt!” Said clearly agitated. Jake didn’t stop. “Stop, Bradley just leave it.” He muttered.
“No I’m not leaving it cause you cannot pull shit like that. Hey listen to-“ he grabbed Jake’s arm but was cut off by Jake throwing him against the wall. He was in fight or flight and unfortunately right now it was more fight. Rooster was about to yell at him until he saw a fear in Hangman’s eyes, he only saw once in the whole time he knew him. Jake didn’t look at him just focused on the wall next to him and trying to breath. Alex and Mav caught up to them. Jake let go of Rooster before looking at Mav and Alex before he stormed off to the changing room. “Rooster, you alright?” Mav asked walk up to him. “Yeah…i just….i think he panicked ?” He questioned looking at Alex. Worry was write all over her face, she looked at rooster. “I’ll explain later, but this-“ she looked at mav “-is why i said not to put him in the skies today.” She glared at mav before run off after Jake.
When Jake got to the changing rooms he didn’t know what to do with himself. He was angry at himself for what he did, for freaking out Rooster. The flashback was bring back feels that Jake hadn’t had to deal with in a long time. He did his time in therapy, the nightmare, flashbacks, the fear was gone. It was dealt with why was it all back. Jake ,in his anger, threw his helmet and then punch the locker next to him before sliding down on the wall next to it. He couldn’t hold it in anymore he let the tears fall let his breathing get faster and didn’t try to stop the panic attack from washing over him. His Gran was right, he was cursed with his dad’s anger.
The noise of the changing room door did nothing to get Jake’s attention as he sunk deeper into the pit of despair in his mind. Not until a gentle hand was on his knee and a voice he oh so desperately needed to hear. “Shhh it’s ok. Just try and breathe. I’m hear baby.” She spoke softly. She contuined in her shushed, soft tones to talk him out of it. He let her, he followed her direction. Clinging to her every word like it was a lifeline.
When he was calm he finally spoke “I’m sorry….Im so sorry steel..i” his voice was hoarse from crying. She smiled and shook her head “please don’t apologies to me. I don’t want you to.” He nodded. “Is Rooster ok?” He asked looking away from her, not make eye contact, he couldn’t after nearly hurting her the way he did. “He’s fine just concerned. Worried. Everyone is”. ‘Fuck’ he thought to himself. He forgot everyone would have been listen to the radio in the break room. She reached for his hand and took it. “If you need to talk then talk, if no then we can just sit for as long as you need.” She said pressing a kiss to his hand. “I don’t…I don’t know what to say.” He tried not to breakdown again “I’m…I’m fine. You should go back to training” he said. “No, you’re not fine. Please don’t do this, not to me. Hide from everyone else but don’t hide from me please.” She whispered softly.
He didn’t speak. She looked at him, her magic ability to know what you were thinking before you knew you were thinking it. “Yes, i told mav. No, i have told anyone else and i told him if he told anyone i would fuckin find him.” This made him smile. “You were right to do so. He should know” he looked at her. She smiled “i knew that’s why id did it” She then looked down for a moment before looking back at him “and i think you should tell everyone else. Im not saying this just as you’re girlfriend but as you’re wingman and teammate. They need to know what could be going through your head up there and not that you’re just being an egoistical ass” He looked away “Darin, i would but i can’t. It’s all they’ll see from me if i tell them. I can’t deal with the pity.” She sighed “but they might not. They wont. They’re your friends, dare i say family. You have seen have seen every single one of them at their lowest points, you know all their baggage. Why can’t they see yours?”
He looked at her. Those dark brown eyes, always so intense like they were begging you to lie to them so she could call you out. But they were so sincere. Alex always laughs about having a face that everyone trusts and one that looks like it will trust everything you tell her. Guess that’s why he need her, she saw past his bullshit. She was here for the real stuff. All those years ago when he told her about his childhood, he expected her to haul ass out of there far away from him. She didn’t though, she listened, she comforted and she kept it a secret for all this time.
“Fine but i,……I can’t be there….please I don’t want to be there.” He begged. She smiled at him “It’s ok, I’ll do it. Tonight at the hard deck. You can go home workout, binge drink and eat, call your mom whatever you need to do it distract or comfort yourself.” She paused, looked in his eyes “I’m proud of you. This is a good thing. You’re doing something really difficult but it’s the right thing and I’m proud of you for that.” He kissed her. Slow and loving, not his usually style but Alex accepted it. Kissed him back with the same amount of love. When the pulled apart, Alex helped him up and got his stuff together. She walked with him to her car. “Take my car home. Ill get a ride off of Rooster or Dad. I’ll text everyone to met at the Hard Deck, ok?” He nodded. Kissed her one last time and got in her car driving off. Alex took out her phone and text the daggers group chat. ‘Meet at Hard Deck at 8. Something important to tell you guys. Xx’ She closed her phone and walked back on into the building.
When 8 finally rolled around, everyone one was there with Playboy coming in last. It was a Wednesday night so the bar wasn’t busy, aside from a few regulars whom Penny was keeping busy. The team huddled together in a corner table at the back of the bar. The concern was clear on their faces. Hangman may be a giant arrogant dick most of the time but he was still part of the little family you guys created for yourselves. He pretended not to but Jake cared about all of them. Giving off his big brother energy the moment any of them looked even a little sad. Alex sat down between Rooster and Coyote.
She took a deep breath before starting. “As I said earlier I have something important to tell you about Jake and I need you to ,in the nicest way, shut up until I’m done ok?” Everyone nodded at this. “Awesome.” She took another breath, calming herself. Anger surged through her every time she had to think about what Jake and is lovely family went through. They didn’t deserve the hurt that ass put them through. “If you ever asked Jake about his family or parents he probably would have told you that is dad left when he was 17. This isn’t a lie but also isn’t the full truth. Jake’s dad was a raging alcoholic that liked to take his drunken rages out on Jake and his mother. His younger sisters didn’t get the same treatment because Jake told his dad to take his anger at them out on him.”
“When he turned 17 his mum brought him a car behind his dad’s back and when his dad found out he went after Jake’s mum and he got his dad to leave by threatening him a shotgun that his dad kept. He didn’t hear about his dad until about 5 years ago when a family friend told him his dad was arrested for possession of drugs with intent to distribute and being in a relationship with a minor. Then 4 months ago he got a call from his dad informing him he was out on compassionate release because he had liver cancer and was going to die in a few months. He wanted to reconcile with Jake but he ignored him. Until last Friday when he got a call from the cops that his dad was found dead in a park and as his next of kin he was informed.” She sighed.
“His dad side of the family are holding a funeral on Thursdays for their shit for nothing son. His two younger sisters aren’t going but his oldest is which means he is on the fence about the whole situation. He went to therapy years ago for panic attacks and nightmares but he hasn’t gotten them for about 7years. So in Jake’s head he is cured but as most of us at this table suffer from some form of ptsd we know that’s not true. That’s why he freaked out in the air today, he had a flashback and that’s why he was so angry because he doesn’t think he should still be suffering from them.” She looked up, waiting for everyone’s reaction. They were all speechless. The concern on their faces from earlier being replaced with dread and upset. They didn’t know, they didn’t even suspect that under only of Jake’s stupid arrogance and self-confidence that he was hiding that.
Rooster spoke first, breaking the silence. “Shit. Well know i feel like an ass.” “Why didn’t he tell us?” Coyote questioned, he looked hurt. He had known Jake since flight school, they went to top gun together. He knew Hangman the longer than the rest of them. “He thinks that if he told you, the you would treat him differently. Take pity on him and he doesn’t want that.” She told him, link arms with him “It has nothing to do with you Javy. I think he just also wanted to leave it behind him when he join the navy. “But if he told us then we wouldn’t think he was being a dick, when he is actually suffering” “I told him that but you know what Jakes like when he doesn’t have his listening ears on.” Coyote nodded.
Silence took over the group again. Alex cleared her throat “any other questions?”.” Why didn’t he come and tell us?” Phoenix asked. “He doesn’t wanna talks about it. I mean he practically torn my head off when I first suggested telling you guys.” Alex said “ Again, i think he wanted it leave behind. “Is he alright?” Bob asked quietly. “He will be. He just needs time. I will try keep you guys in the loop with him but I can’t promise telling you much. I don’t want to upset him by making him think i was telling everyone his secrets, you know?” They all nodded. “If you guys don’t have anything else to ask. Im gonna head make sure Jakes alright. If you got anything else to ask then doesn’t hesitate to text or call, alright?” Alex got up and hugged Rooster and Javy. Her dad got up to give her a ride home. She bid them a goodnight and walked out.
When they drove up to her house, the windows were dark. She got worried and hurriedly kissed her dad’s cheek and said goodbye before speeding to the door. She opened it to the living room. The house was in complete darkness apart from the light from the TV. It was playing the office, Alex smiled as she neared the couch and saw Jake asleep. He hadn’t been sleeping well so she decided to leave him and not wake him up. However, as if he sense her presence he stirred and woke up to her figure in the dark. “Baby?” He asked tiredly. She walked over and ran a hand through his hair. “Yeh it’s me. You should try go back to sleep.” She whispered. He grabbed her hand and pulled her on top of him on the couch. She was lying with her face hidden in his neck, arms and legs wrapped around him. He placed one hand on her waist and another in her hair, stroking it softly. “Not without you here” he whispered into her hair before softly kissing her temple. They lay still and as the minutes passed Alex heard Jakes breath being to slow as he fall back into sleep. She wanted to makes sure he was alright, make sure he wasn’t too self-destructive when he got home but that could wait until tomorrow. She allowed herself to follow Jake into a deep sleep.
It had been had been two days since everything happened and it was the day of the funeral. Well it was the evening after the funeral. Maverick managed to get Cyclone to give Jake Thursday to Monday off and he was very grateful for that. He didn’t think he would be able to face everyone on Thursday. But now it was Friday, Jake had made it, he made it through his awful and oblivious family members talking about how amazing his dad was with out even get angry at them. Emma and Missy came to the funeral. Mia couldn’t or didn’t , in her words, she wasn’t strong enough to not yell at those crazy rednecks and wife beaters. Now it was over and he didn’t have a reason to see any of them ever again.
He was currently sitting outside the church, smoking. It was a habit he picked up in flight school but he had dropped it a couple years ago. It helped with his nerves so it was only on occasion. He was lost in thought that he didn’t see his mom walking over to him. “Excuse me mister, you can’t do that on Gods ground” she spoke in her snarky southern tone. Jake looked up at her and smiled “Just once mam, I’m sure the big man won’t mind.” She hummed and sat next to him before taking the cigarette from him, she took a long drag of it and then crushed it on the ground under her heel. Jake protested but one look from his mum made him stop.
“You did good today honey. Im proud of you.” She said looking at him. “You didn’t need to come but you did. You took the high road you should be proud of yourself.” He sighed and looked at the ground. “Alex called me.” He looked at her “For what?” He questioned, he didn’t even know Alex had his mums phone number. “Well, she congratulated me on my loss.” This made him laugh. “But mostly asking for advice about you. She told me you’re getting nightmares and panic attacks again. Baby, why didn’t you say?” She was looking at him, concern filling her face. He looked away from her “I…..I didn’t want you to worry.” He started picking his nails. Jane took her son’s hand to stop him “Jacob, you have been strong for me since the moment you were born. Then you were strong for your sisters and even now you’re protecting Alex and your friends. You don’t need to be like that now. You have people that care about you, that really love you. Don’t be strong around them all the time, they need you to remind them that you’re human.”
Jake smiled “Yeah, well I’m working on that.” He looked at her. “I promise”. Jane kissed his cheek “Good” She reached for her purse. “Now one other thing, I wasn’t gonna bring this up today but I brought this.” Jakes mum brought out his grandmothers engagement ring. He looked at his mum shocked. “Gran asked me to keep this for you when need to ‘give to that special girl’. Jake I’m not pressing you to do anything yet but I want you to have the option. So, I don’t care if you marry that girl tomorrow, next year or in ten years but you better marry her. You got her, now don’t let her go again. God knows she the only woman aside from me that’s gonna put up with your shit.” Jake laughed “Don’t worry I know that.” He took the ring for her, looked at it briefly before putting it in his suit jacket pocket. “Thank you mom”
Jane stood up and dusted herself off. “Don’t be. Now Missy, Emma and I’s flight is at 9. I don’t want you hang around so you head back.” Jake stood up “No mom let me drop you guys at the airport at least” he protested. Jane put up her hand to hush him. “No, I saw that messages you were trying to hide. Your friends are waiting for you. Alex is waiting for you and it’s rude to leave your lady waiting.” She cupped his cheek and smiled. “Go. Be with your other family. I have a feeling they’ll be worried about you just as much as me.” Jake smiled and kissed his mamas cheek. They head back towards the car park to Emma and Missy.
Jake had checked your message about a thousand times. It was brief. ‘All at Hard Deck. Here if you need us to talk or drink. Love you xx’. He consider just heading home but then decide he needed to see Alex and the team. He needed normal. He parked next to Roosters rusty, dying truck and headed in. It was busy inside, well it was a Friday night. Penny noticed him as he walked over the bar. “Jake, what can I get you?” She half shouted over the buzz of people. “Somethin’ strong” he said. She smiled “one of those days, huh” he nodded. She went to find her strongest liqueur.
Alex was chatting with Mickey and Javy, they were remembering stories from their time as top gun students. New students had just arrived so the Daggers were taking great pleasure in torturing the poor newbies. They were laughing and then Alex saw Jake at the bar so she excused herself. She walked over to him, catching his eye. He smiled when he saw her. “Hey Baby, You-“ She began to say to be cut off by Jake pushing his lips to hers. It was a long passionate kiss that Alex let Jake fall into. He pulled her closer by her waist and cupped her face brushing her hair back. She moved with him, running a hand through his hair while the other rested on his chest.
“Hey! Rule two!” Yelled Maverick from across the bar. Jake pulled away and laughed “Sorry Captain. Just can’t resist” He had the same cocky, arrogant smirk on his face that made Alex want to cry, she hadn’t seen it in a while. She opened her mouth to say something but stopped herself. She hugged him tight, wrapping her arms around his waist. He did the same before pulling away “Im ok, I’ll tell you everything later.” He said to her. She nodded before dragging him to the group.
Jake felt a lump in his throat form as he saw everyone. The sudden panic of being judged left as soon as it had arrived when Javy pulled him in for a hug. When they pulled away Jake sarcastically went “So do we kiss now or something” Javy laughed leading him to the pool table where he, Bradley and Billy had set up for the night. Alex smiled as she saw him be for the first time in months, relaxed.
They were on the outside balcony of the Bar, only Pete, Bradley and Penny were still inside. The two men were helping her clean up for the night. Alex and Jake stood outside sharing a cigarette in secret in the useful darkness the balcony provided. “Wow, what assholes” the slight anger and surprise at his families callousness evident in her voice. ‘Yeah, pretty much.” He said looking out to the dark ocean ahead of them. Alex turned and looked at him “Are…i mean how are you feeling?” She had her worried look on again, he hated being the reason for that. “Honestly, Yeah” He turned and leaned on his side. “Im doing fine and i promise I’m not lying. There’s just something kinda comforting knowing he’s not still out there, you know?” She nodded. He moved over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist and leaning into her from behind. He buried is face in her neck, breathing her in. Alex pressed back against him, head resting against his shoulder.
They stayed like that a while until Jake remembered something. “Hey I forgot to tell you. Mama has informed me that now she is a widow, she can official become pubic with her relationship with Pastor Williams.” He said. Alex gasped “What?! How could you forget to tell me that. And why didn’t she tell me? I mean i totally get he’s a silver fox but-” She began rambling to herself about the situation. Jake listen to her but mostly watched her move and talk. He smiled softly at her excitement. “Hey hey wait you can’t call him a silver fox that could be my future stepdad.” He said sarcastically offended. “Well I hate to break it to you cowboy, your future stepdad is a silver fox.” She laughed.
They were quiet again for a moment, leaning against each other. “How long do you think you need to wait after your divorce until its consider to acceptable to get remarried?” He asked smirking. Alex turned a look of surprise and realisation. In all the time she knew Jake he never once mentioned marriage and she was ok with that but know. “Wha…What do you-“ she was cut off by Rooster telling them it’s time to head and that Penny was closing up. Alex followed Bradley back into the bar, she looked back at Jake giving him a knowing grin before heading in. Jake took a breath before following after her.

Oops Chapter 2: Knock Knock, Get the Door It’s Depression
Series Masterlist
Pairing: ex!rooster x afab!reader, best friend!jake x afab!reader, platonic!dagger squad x afab!reader
TW: ANGST, pregnancy, brief mention of abortion, swearing, Bradley being a douche
Summary: Bradley doesn't receive the news of his impending fatherhood well, but lucky for you Jake is always just around the corner.
Word Count:1.4k
Tumblr media
“I’m pregnant.” You blurt out and you gnaw on your lip nervously as Bradley’s face contorts with confusion. You feel your breathing speed up and your knee bounces uncontrollably.
He’s silent for a few seconds as he stares at you. “Congratulations? Why do you look so scared? What is it Jake’s or something?” He laughs and you frown.
“What?” You question, your mind not quite grasping what’s going on. He thinks you're pregnant with Jake’s baby?
Your brain catches up and realization dawns on you. Oh. He thinks it’s not his.
“No, Bradley. It’s yours. I’m pregnant with your baby.” You clarify and his smile falls. You see his face blanch and he leans forward.
“Excuse me?” He stammers and you observe his appearance. His pupils are dilated and a bead of sweat is starting to form along his hairline. There’s red crawling up his chest and he's shaking slightly.
He’s either mad or panicking. Probably both. You don’t repeat yourself, well aware it’s a rhetorical question. He heard you loud and clear, that much is obvious.
“Are you sure?” He argues and his voice has dropped a couple octaves.
You suppress an eye roll and try to keep your voice steady. “That I’m pregnant or that it’s yours?”
His eyes bore into yours and you notice his jaw tick. “Both.”
You take a deep breath to try and ease the panic creeping into your chest and nod. “I’m sure. I have a doctor's appointment next week and you’re the only man I’ve been with.”
You avert your gaze and he stands abruptly, beginning to pace the room. You watch silently as he runs his hands through his hair and tries to process the information.
After a couple of minutes, he stops and laughs humorlessly. “What do you want from me? Money for an abortion?” He seethes and you feel your throat constrict.
Your eyes are bloodshot and you can feel the tears gathering on your lash line. You feel your lip tremble and you take a short breath to try and regain control.
“What? N-no.” You stammer. “I just..I-I thought-”
“You thought what, Y/N? That I'd be happy? That I'd want to play house with you? ” He growls and you feel a hot tear slip down your cheek.
“I just thought you weren't ready before.” Your voice cracks and Bradley scoffs. 
“Ready for what? I don't want this, and you know that!” He yells before turning on his heel walking away. You hear the door slam and let out a choked sob.
He’s right, you know he doesn’t want this. It was a big part of why you broke up in the first place. You wanted a family and after what happened with Goose, he didn’t.
You aren’t naive enough to think he’d be happy, but you didn’t expect him to be so cruel either. Your knees give out and you feel Phoenix wrap her arms around your trembling figure.
Her heart breaks for you and rage courses through her body at her friend's actions. She holds you for a while before helping you up to your room and making sure you’re situated.
~
The next three days you call out of work and stay in bed. You spend your time rotating between crying and watching shitty reality tv shows to take your mind off your situation.
Phoenix brings you food and makes sure you’re still alive, but doesn't say anything when people start asking where you are. You haven’t heard anything from Bradley since you told him and with each passing day you get more accustomed to the idea that you’re doing this alone.
Meanwhile at work, Jake is losing his mind trying to get information from Phoenix. He doesn’t want to just pop in on you, but by the third day he’s ripping his hair out.
He knows from Bradley’s behavior that you told him and decides to take a shot in the dark.
“Hey!” he calls out and Bradley stops walking.
“What?” He snaps and Jake’s brows furrow.
“I was just wondering if you’ve heard from Y/N. She hasn’t been here and her phone is off.” He tries and the other pilot rolls his eyes.
“No, I haven’t.” He shrugs before walking off. Jake stands there for a few seconds debating whether or not he should follow him before deciding that checking on you is more important.
You’re in your usual position in bed when you hear the front door open.
“Hey Nat, can you bring me some water?” You yell out and you sit up when you don’t get your usual response.
A couple minutes later the door cracks open and you see your best friend walk in holding a glass.
His eyes widen at the state of your unkept room and greasy hair and you fall back with a groan. He makes his way over to you and sits on the edge of the bed.
“What are you doing here?” You mumble with your face buried into a pillow and Jake's eyebrows shoot up.
“Making sure you’re not dead. Phoenix wouldn’t tell me anything and your phone has been off for days.” He explains gently. “What happened with Rooster? I've never seen you like this.”
You sit up to look at him and his heart shatters at the sight of your puffy eyes and tear-stained cheeks. He sees water gather on your lash line and quickly pulls you into a hug.
“Hey, it's okay. You don’t have to tell me. Why don’t you go take a shower and I’ll order us some takeout?” He offers and you nod into his shoulder.
Forty-five minutes later you're on the couch freshly showered and in clean pajamas eating your dinner. Jake keeps glancing at you and you sigh.
“I don’t want to do this alone.” You choke out and he looks at you like you’ve grown a second head. You’re grateful he’s not treating you fragile and giving you pity looks the way Phoenix does. It makes everything feel almost normal.
“You’re not doing anything alone, Y/N. You have the entire squad, and even if they bail you’ll always have me. I’m not going anywhere.” He says while opening up his arms and you crawl into his lap.
“Thank you, Jakey.” You sniffle and he kisses the top of your head. “Anything for you. Roosters a dick and a douche. He's a dick-douche.” He says and for the first time since this all started, you let out a genuine laugh.
~
The next day Jake walks into work on a mission. The second his eyes land on the curly-haired pilot laughing, he stalks up to him and shoves him back.
Bradley looks at him with wide eyes and stands up to his full height. “What the hell is your problem, hangman?” He roars and Jake feels his blood boil.
His eyes narrow and he bumps his chest into his teammate while pointing an accusatory finger.
“What the hell did you do to her?” He growls and Bradley takes a step back.
“What are you talking about?” He plays dumb and Jake clenches his fist.
“You know exactly what I’m talking about, you spineless piece of shit. What did you do?” His voice is raising with each word and Bradley jerks him into the hall away from prying eyes and ears.
“She knows I don’t want a kid. I’m not putting my child through the shit I had to experience when my dad died.” He tries to reason and Jake scoffs.
“You’re a fucking idiot. Do you think that the kid growing up fatherless because their dad didn’t want them is any better? Do you have any idea what that’s going to do to them? To her? Or do you not care?” He spits and Bradley rolls his eyes.
“I didn’t tell her to keep it. That’s her problem, not mine.” He says casually and Jakes uses all his restraint not to hit him.
“I figured your mom would’ve raised you better than to talk about the mother of your child like that.” He scoffs. It's a low blow, but it needs to be said.
“That woman is going through hell right now because you’re not enough of a man to own up to your shit. You played just as much a part in this as she did.”
Bradley sighs and crosses his arms over his chest, but doesn’t say anything. Jake shakes his head at the blank expression on his friend's face and steps forward until they’re nose to nose.
“Fix it, Bradshaw. She deserves better and you know it.” He mutters before turning on his heel and leaving the man reeling in his thoughts.

Galactik Football season 3 rewatch, eps 10 - 12
Episode 10:
So we open up with Yuki getting mad at Micro-Ice and thinking Zoleen is his girlfriend, and Mice is dumb enough to not reject that claim when she asks him directly if they're going out. He also barely acknowledges Yuki's birthday despite previously rehearsing this dramatic confession of love to her. Thran and Ahito are literally, and I mean literally the only Snow Kids that don't have any love drama going on (I know Mark's got something coming) and every single one has revolved around love triangles, whether misunderstood or not. I can't take this anymore, I'm at my limit.
Anyway, *hits play again*
Since when did this Cyclops dude have a wholeass funded show, when he wasn't even a proper journalist before?
WOOWAMBOO RETIREMENT RUMOUR?! SAY IT AIN'T SO!
Oh christ this is the start of the Sinedd parents arc isn't it. Holy shit they try to stuff so much into this season. But happy we finally got the backstory on Sinedd with him not being born on Akillian!
Tumblr media
I can barely watch this segment holy shit it's just so awful (in universe, I mean, not the writing). Not just because I know they're con artists but it's so sudden, Hush Sharky making a whole spectacle of this on live TV in front of an audience and Sinedd had NO IDEA that he was going to meet his freaking PARENTS. WHO HE THOUGHT WERE DEAD ALL HIS LIFE. This emotional and insanely personal moment being used for entertainment fits with the corporate hellscape that the show takes place in, but what the hell. He has the full right to be pissed at Sharky.
Not the con artist parents running off immediately when the ground starts shaking 😭 Parents my ass
lol of course Micro-Ice has to fall in the cake. I think they use him for slapstick too much in this season
Tbf I quite like the villains in this season, it's an interesting dynamic with Lord Phoenix having his own motives but losing control of Vega
Sinedd's reunion with his parents is a pretty sweet moment if it weren't for the fact that IT'S A LIEEEE ToT.
Aarch yelling at Artegor about Adim... all this drama...
THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTIINNNNGGNGNGG and it's so silly
Tumblr media
This is how I picture it
Is that the fucking Netherball music
The little TV spots with Yuki and Mei talking about each other before the match are cute! Makes the world feel more lived in and gives us some more interactions between the girls, even if not directly face to face here
I like Mei berating Sinedd for taunting Yuki when she's injured but... girl. He was always like this. You knew this. Why are you surprised?? They never actually showed him becoming a better person, just that he suddenly liked Mei and convinced her to join the Shadows. And Mei does not strike me as a poor judge of character so why would she date him....?
Wow Elektras not letting Mei through to help her friend? Why? They were literally celebrating her birthday together tf??
Poor Yuki, what a shitshow of a match for her although she did score a goal (I'm guessing the Breath is more powerful than the Elektra's flux since she's running in to attack). Loved her lil' chat with Mei though, I will say this season gave us more of the girls in the team being friends which I really do appreciate.
Here for the other Shadows players cooing and awing at Sinedd with his parents, I want to see more of what the team dynamic is like since they seemed to welcome him quickly back in season 1
Thran coming through with his tech knowledge!
Episode 11:
Does Bennett just carry a harmonica on him all the time haha
Tumblr media
Harvey fought in the flux war?? ok cool lore I guess?????
Corso wondering whether to trust Sonny just because he didn't bring up Magnus straight away is a bit weird? I just feel that with all they've been through, it would take more for Corso to start questioning his faith in Sonny. This is also like, a 5 minute plot point that goes nowhere so why???
Tia talking with her parents about her concerns is an improvement from what their relationship used to be like in season 1, it's good to see!
Oh so Mei is a striker now. Is this implying that Mei's decision was influenced by her mother? Weren't we over that?? Still kind of sad to see her mum dismiss the SK and seem like she's still the same. Mei probably feels she'll never be good enough for her.
Not Sinedd complimenting D'jok just to be polite to Maya 😂 But what do you mean they haven't met yet? It's literally this season (I think?) that shows Sinedd was friends with D'jok when they were young kids! Maya hangs out with Mama Ice at the cafeteria as well, there's no way they've never interacted before!
Yeah Tia, it WAS stupid of you to be jealous of Lun-Zia. Weird though bc the show previously implied Lun-Zia liked Rocket but turns out she had a boyfriend all along?
Aarch: Artegor? Aarch: I'm sorry we started a bit earlier today, I forgot to mention it
Aarch you're such a petty bitch 😭
Oooo Micro-Ice is up for kick-off. Seeing them antagonistic towards each other is so sad :( Although season 1 Micro-Ice would have found a way to roast D'jok lol
I just realised team Paradisia and the Elektras probably have visors so they can have more diverse character designs in the 2D animation, while still copy-pasting models in the 3D scenes lol
Go Mark! Why did the goalkeeper run out from the goal I don't know anything about football
Nice to see Mark and Micro-Ice working together and having fun
D'jok's plan being to pass to Nikki-4 because the SK will think he's too selfish to let someone else score is so fucking funny
Oooo you don't get penalty shootouts that often in GF
I do love and miss sassy D'jok
Nikki-4: I guess you'll always be a Snow Kid at heart D'jok: At least I've got one
Bold claim with the way you've been acting, D'jok
Niki-4 threatening physical violence on D'jok lmaoo I guess she is a cyborg but it's weird D'jok actually held out until now with the way he's been acting towards the SK. Why does he suddenly now have a moral dilemma?
Episode 12:
Now to rant about the Ahito betrayal plot <3
Ok this how to beat Ahito thing is dumb from the get go. It's treated like some big secret and it would be a big betrayal to reveal it, but that's not how sports work. They could easily have figured out his weak points by just watching a load of videos of his saves, in fact they SHOULD have been doing this anyway – the best teams don't win just by playing their best, but by knowing their opponent's strengths and weaknesses and being able to exploit that! It's not dishonest it's just... how it works! Rocket was doing this back in season 1 when he was suggesting tactics!
So to treat it like a big betrayal to reveal something that's easily obtainable public knowledge is dumb. And also, they're treating this as if knowing a player's weakness is some magic key that means they can definitely beat him if they exploit it, which is... also not how sports work!! It's not like he'll definitely fail to save your shot if you hit in a certain way, and it's not like he can't adjust his play after you score a goal. It just.... it makes no sense!!
It was also kind of weird to hear D'jok talk about wanting to win honestly when he was fouling Warren last match and got scolded for disrespecting the game, they made it look like D'jok fully only cared about winning now, whatever the cost, but now suddenly he's having second thoughts and doesn't want to betray a team he's been shit-talking all this time?
I also don't like that what made him cave in the end was mind control, it takes away a lot of accountability. It also would have fit more for D'jok to continue doing anything it takes to win, so he can realise he's wrong later and that he's just been using that to run away from his feelings. As stupid as this “betrayal” is, it should have been his low point showing how far gone he is, his big mistake, that he can then work up from.
Rant over <3
Nork, commenting on a player's health problems is just rude
Of course Rocket starts feeling ill the second he has to go up
THRAN SCORES!!! Nice to see him do some shots
Goooo Lun-Zia! She's been a good addition
Last season I got sad that Micro-Ice was the first to flunk his shot, please don't let me down this time
YESSSSS
D'jok: Ahito always jumps in place, a little more to the side he's gonna leap to. He can't control it, it's stronger than he is!
And THAT's the way to beat him? Totally foolproof? Bruh. If all the SK knew this and it's sooooo easy to score against him once you figure it out, surely Aarch should have.... I don't know, helped him train so that he doesn't reveal which way he's jumping as easily?? THIS IS EASILY DISCOVERABLE INFORMATION GUYS THE POINT OF TRAINING IS TO IMPROVE ON YOUR WEAKNESSES
NOOOOO TIA OF ALL PEOPLE???!!! I HAD TO TRADE A MICRO-ICE GOAL WITH THIS? 😭😭😭 It happens though. Also weird she's the first to use her flux so far for this like, it's penalties. You don't have to conserve your energy, just use the goddamn Breath!
TT^TT Nooooo they look so devastated :( On the other hand, kind of crazy it took three seasons for them to actually lose an important match lol it's been win win win the whole time so far, so kind of refreshing.
I want to cheer on Mei for putting Sinedd in his place after shit-talking the Snow Kids but like, girl, HOW IS THIS SURPRISING?! HE'S BEEN LIKE THIS IN EVERY MATCH YOU'VE PLAYED AGAINST EACH OTHER, YOUR LAST INTERACTION BEFORE SEASON 3 WAS HIM PUSHING YOU TO THE GROUND AND THREATENING YOU!!!
She thought he only hated D'jok and now she's realising he's just nasty to everyone? Girl where were you when he was bullying Micro-Ice on your team lol. I mean she didn't care back then but she does now! Mei is not dumb, writers
That was a pretty good pick me up speech, Aarch
Tumblr media
The animation makes this kind of funny out of context but, Artegor hesitantly reaching out to Aarch but then thinking better of it... aarrrrgh </3
Quick shoutout to the background designs in this show, they look really cool and I love how it's futuristic while still being colourful and bright. There's some beautiful art of the natural scenery too
What's up with reporters immediately wondering if a team is done for, or the coach might be resigning, after ONE loss? They're still GF champions, losing once doesn't mean it's all downhill from there
Adim standing up for her man <3
In this dub he calls her Mum-Ice lmao. So I guess it is just Mama-Ice? I do prefer the novelisation with her actual name, she's not mum to everyone, although I wouldn't mind having -Ice at the end of a name being some family tradition or cultural thing. Also love seeing her hanging out with Maya!
Poor Kernor just can't eat her ice cream in peace huh 😭
Aww Mama-Ice's speech is so sweet
Aarch needs a new start now more than ever? Why exactly?
Norata dancing in the back <3
Holy shit, Brim Simbra actually intervening?
Oooooo secret supplier guy was Harris all along, who would have guessed?
Huh looking at the ending screen of this youtube upload, I didn't know Robotboy was Gaumont animation too! Well probably Alphanim back then

DJ Cam Girl
Marco X F!Reader
AU Modern Day
🔞18+ NSFW Like One Scene
Tumblr media
Inspired by Suckerpunch the movie but with a twist~♡
I never said I was good at writing...
This is the short story from my poll.
Characters: Marco, Ace, Law, Baby Five, Doflamingo
Neighbors and Best Friend, to Girlfriend, to Proposal
You started being a online DJ Cam four years ago going on five years when you moved into your apartment. Little did you know who was watching you. You try to hide the fact that your a DJ Cam girl but eventually Marco figures it out and someone else too. You also work at a high class club as a cage dancer with Baby Five run by Doflamingo named Blue.
~
Setting up your turntables you get ready for a mix set after dancing in a cage at your work in a highclass club/bar called Blue. To be clear your just a dancer. There is a dress code but you pick what you wear everyday. Your in your big room and turn on your camera then set up Tweet a streaming service.
"Hello everyone its so nice to see you all again! Hi my OGs Kiwi, Robot, Slick, Blue Phoenix! And hello to my new subscribers!~ Im gonna start with S&M - ayesha erotica (mashup) by iiblxssom_angelx" as you mix songs skillfully together you mix into Slayyyter - Stupid Boy (ft. Ashnikko, Ayesha Erotica, Big Freedia) [mashup] by dogbby07 while dancing erotically for the camera. After the session you say
"I hope you all liked this mix session thanks for watching I hope you all have a good night or day wherever you may be thank you for the donations and subs~♡" you end the stream then big sigh and go change into a t shirt and shorts then put away your turntables taking off your wig and putting it away. Then you hear a knock at your door so you go to your hallway, unlock and open your door to see your neighbor, apartment two and your apartment three, Marco Phoenix who is hot and a doctor. You crack the door and say
"Hey Marco whatsup?" He looks at your attire your dressed in shorts and a tshirt no shoes.
"Have you seen the news (n)? Yoi" he asks politely and you shake your head no
"No I havent I dont even have a tv remember? Why? Whatsup man?" You ask as you walk into the hall to talk.
"Well apparently theres a serial killer on the loose. I figured id let you know since you know your a woman living alone Yoi."
He replys.
"Oh shittt ugh who this serial killer after?" Asking you cock your head to the side as you cross your arms.
"Well their calling him the Cam Girl Killer right now. Just thought I should let you know since I know you live alone Yoi"
"Well dam thanks Marco ill have to buy a taser or something. Why is it that serial killers only go after women? Fuckin weird right?" You say as he shrugs
"Well most likely because women are easier targets but if anything does happen just yell my name and ill come out. Yoi" he says and you retort.
"I hope it doesnt come to that Marco.. thanks for letting me know since I work nine pm - five am everyday. They say having a regular schedule is bad. That serial killers like that to stalk their prey. But I dont have any control over that my boss Doflamingo is super strict." He raises an eyebrow as he says
"Well just be extra wary okay. Id hate for anything to happen to you. Do you want to hang out tonight or no? Yoi" he asks as you say
"Hmm sure just give me a minute to wipe my makeup off and ill be over in a few." You see him smile and nod
"Okay see you in a few (n)" as you both enter your apartments and you go clean your face. Thats Marco for you always caring and sweet. Your best friend but you never invite him over because Cam girls have a stigma against them. Of course you have a big fat crush on him too. Youve known him ever since you moved into your apartment. Going on five years now. After you wipe your makeup off and you grab your lanyard with your keys on it exit your apartment and lock up. Then knock on Marcos door as he opens it revealing a happy smiling Marco. He looks at you as he lets you walk in placing your shoes on his shoe rack.
"So what you thinking for tonight?" You ask him as he goes to his wine rack grabbing two glasses pouring some wine into each glass then going over to you handing you a glass. You sitting on his couch.
"How about some uno? Yoi" he says as you take it and take a sip.
"Thanks Marco and are you sure about that? You know im competitive haha" you laugh as he smiles and says
"Its no worries haha you know I dont mind Yoi" he retorts as you say
"Okay well we need some music then not tv this time"
"Okay okay there is this one woman I follow on Tweet she does cam DJing here ill put her on.
"Ouu you have taste in music? I never knew I cant wait" you say teasing and giggling then he turns on the DJ and you hear your set, eyes widening slightly as you realize he listens to you. You had tried to hide it.
'Does he know its me? No way I wear wigs and wear different clothes for my sets and work. Does he know where I work? Probably not hes not the type to go to clubs right?'
"Okay are you ready to get mad (n)? (N)? Hellooo? Yoi"
"Oh yea sorry spaced out haha" you laugh and say
"Im totally taking you down and shes hella tight I love this music!"
"Ya I love this music now. I discovered her a couple years ago her name is SlayStar on Tweet stream. I used to not like this kinda music but it grew on me. Yoi" he says as you take a big gulp of wine.
'Okay so it seems he doesnt know in fact no one should know besides my gurl friend Rizza who lives in another state. Thank fuck the walls are super insulated in these apartments. I mean we all pay a high price to live here' you think as he starts shuffling the deck and you move with the beat.
"I fuckin love this song!" Marco chuckles and says
"My favorite parts coming up. Okay lets start cutie Yoi"
'Hmm cutie? Does he like me too? Maybe hes just a flirt?' You think as you both play uno until he wins which was two hours later.
"Fuckk mann you win okay I guess I admit defeat tonight" you giggle as you feel a bit tipsy.
"I should go its getting late and I have work tonight" he nods and says
"Yea you should drink some water dont want a hangover tonight at work do you? And you shouldnt drink so much before work. Yoi" you point at him laughing.
"Your funny Marco you gave it to me. Silly im only a little tipsy" you say and stand swaying a bit as you head to the door as he crosses his arms and gives you a look.
"Uh huh you sure about that? Yoi" he says as you say
"Okay Mr. Phoenix I promise to drownd myself in water when I get in my apartment. Better?" You get on your shoes as he opens and holds the door open for you, him watching you go to your apartment unlock it then say loudly
"Ill get you next time Marco!"
"Ya ya suree now drink some water (n). Yoi" he says as you give him a thumbs up and go into your apartment locking the door. You get dressed and do your makeup then put on your trench coat so noone thinks your a hooker. After your completely ready you call an Uber and wait inside the locked lobby door for your ride. Once you get to work you clock in as Doflamingo or Dofo for short comes into the dressing room.
"Allright everyone do touch ups then go shake your asses out there!" He says loudly then heads out to the front of house greeting big spenders. It was a busy night and the night DJ was pumping up the jams. You look at Baby Five who looks peppy tonight.
"Hey Baby Five why are you so peppy?"
"Well I got together with this new guy and he totally needs me!" She sqeals in happiness.
"Well as long as your happy" you say finally ready and go out to be let into your cage. Your wearing pvc bralette with straps snaking around your curves, booty shorts and thigh high boots.
~Weeks Later One Night At Work~
"Erotica just quit so I need you to change your shift (N). Nine am to five pm since your my most experienced dancer. I need you for the day time audience start working on singing. Ironically weve been lacking lately anyways due to her anyways so I need you to bring the crowd back" Mr. Doflamingo says and you nod.
"So when do I start?" You question.
"Tomorrow we need a pick up in traffic pronto." He says as you nod. You call an uber home as your shift ended. Once home you pass out.
~Once Your Alarm Rings~
You hear it but dont want to get up. A couple minutes pass and you decide youd like to keep your job and apartment. Getting ready you drink and eat breakfast then shower dry off and get dressed. Doing your makeup you put on your trench coat and grab your phone and keys and purse. Walking out of your apartment you hear and see Marco locking up his apartment.
"Morning Marco!" You say as he turns around seemingly surprised.
"Hey (n) why are you up so early? Yoi"
"Doflamingo my boss switched my schedule for a day shift since a girl quit *yawns* im so tired. Now my schedule is nine am to five pm now" You reply and he nods
"Well look at that, now I dont have to worry as much. Guess ill see you at five pm Yoi" he chuckles and smiles in his casual attire his muscles defined almost popping out through his shirt.
"Okay sounds good~"
'Hes not going to work today I wonder where hes going? Ahh he fills out that shirt perfectly' You think looking at his backside. You both walk to the lobby as you had called an Uber in your apartment. Walking out you part ways with Marco and you go to work. In the changing room in the back of house you do touch ups then go to the cage.
~Nearing The End Of Your Shift~
You hear more customers come in as your party at your table left and the table had just been cleaned. It didnt mean you could just stand there though your job was to dance. You see three men slide into your booth as your in the cage then recognize one of them, but the dancers arnt allowed to talk to customers unless they order the sing a long package. There was huge led screen tvs for the dancers to see the song lyrics to sing a long and dance too. He looks at you shocked
"(N)? Yoi" Marco and you make eye contact as you continue to dance you both blush red as he becomes fidgety.
"I can explain, later though! Yoi" He waves his hands in front of himself as he sinks into the booth which didnt do much since he is six foot eight. The other two men raise their eyebrows
"So this is the famous (n) we hear about all the time? Shes pretty I can see why you like her Marco" The man in the middle asks Marco as Marco blushes
'He talks about me to others?? Intresting. Like me? Like how though? As friends or like like?' You think as you dance.
"I never knew she worked here before now. Yoi" you hear Marco say which stings your chest.
"Well im ordering the sing along since it is MY birthday"
'Great ill have to suck up my pride and grit this. I still have two more hours on the clock. Im so embarrassed that Marco is seeing me like this' your dressed in velvet booty shorts, a velvet bralette with extra straps thigh high pvc boots and jewelry with your (C) (L) hair up.
"Whyd you have to drag us to a place like this Ace? Ya" the guy on Aces left from your view said. Another painful sting to your chest.
"Ah come on Law dont be a buzzkill lets drink! And I like Blue its not a strip club but more high class especially for you refined gentlemen haha" Ace says to the man on his left a presses the sing a long button on the table. Suddenly you hear your boss Dofo come up to you and give you a headset while talking to the three men.
"Hello Ace nice to see you again. Nice to see you brought friends too. Now this one here came from the night shift she doesnt sing much but let me know if there are any problems." Dofo says as Ace responds.
"Hey Dofo wheres Erotica? She is so good. I came cause todays my birthday I wanted to see her but (n) is okay too"
'Im just okay too?! Ill show this cocky brat I bet hes younger than me anyways' you think angrily as you have a smile on your face because youd loose your job otherwise.
"Unfortunately Erotica left the club but (n) is one of our most experienced dancers so your in good hands. Ill get your regular bottle tab going" Dofo says while taking Aces, Laws, and Marcos credit cards.
"Hello all you sexy men please push which song youd like to hear and ill sing it for you" you say. What no one knew was that you DID sing just not at work until now. Ace tried at every attempt to flirt with you and you noticed Marco looked slightly upset.
Ace chose a song which was
Britney Spears - Gimme More (bass boosted) As you skillfully sing and dance erotically they all take shots and drink what you assumed was votka. Marco ordered the most drinks then it was Law then Ace. After awhile of only Ace picking songs he says
"Come on you two pick some songs im paying for the sing a long anyways!" Ace says obviously tipsy as the other two seem to hold their liquor. Law picks timbaland - give it to me ft. Nelly furtado, justin timberlake (sped up) then the other two men are peer pressuring Marco into picking a song. He picks S&M - ayesha erotica (mashup) to which you kinda couldnt help but meet his eyes during the song. Which was also part of your job but you also couldnt help your blush throughout the entire song.
"Awe look shes blushing! I think she likes you Marco!" Ace notices as he talks with the two men.
"Ace quit embarrassing me. You should respect places you go to. Yoi" Marco says
"Even I know you dont shit where you eat. She is very skillful ill admit. Ya" Law says as hes eyeing you. Now all attention was on you as they passed the control pad around picking songs. Eventually your off the clock but you knew you couldnt stop dancing and singing as long as there was a party at your table and until Dofo came to unlock your cage. Marco looked at his rolex watch then says to the two men.
"I think its time to go its five pm weve been here for two hours. Yoi"
'Thank god I told Marco my schedule this morning but now things are probably gonna be weird between us or actually maybe not???' you think as the men reluctantly agreed with Marco. Dofo finally came around opening your cage when Ace asked for the tab. You overhear Ace say
"Hey Dofo you need to keep (N) on this shift ill definitely come back!" You enter the dressing room and wrap yourself up in your (c) trench coat, grab your purse, put on your sunglasses then walk outside. You were about to call an Uber when you hear
"(N)! Heyy you were great! Dont worry I told Dofo you were great too! Its nice to finally meet you!" Ace yells as he holds his hand out to shake yours. As you shake his hand you say
"Its nice to meet you too Ace and Law what do you mean finally?" you say shaking Laws hand now.
"Well Marco here talks about you all the time!" Ace says gently punching him in the arm while smiling as Marco blushes slightly.
"Ahh okay so how do you both know Marco?" You question as Marco says
"Ace is a nurse practitioner and Law is a surgeon at my hospital. Today is Aces twenty third birthday so he drug us out here. I didnt know he was a regular at Blue. Yoi" you nod
"You dont own the hospital Marco even if you are the number one doctor there" Ace says
"Ahh I see... well I should really get home and change"
"I should be getting home too. Ill call us an Uber Yoi" Marco says as you were about to stop him but let him call.
'He talks about me all the time??' You think.
"I better go home too Ya" Law says as he walks off in the opposite direction of your apartment down the sidewalk.
"Okay itll be a couple minutes theres a Uber coming for us. Happy Birthday Ace but were going home, take an Uber home okay? Yoi" Marco says as Ace nods and says
"Ya ya I know im tipsy dont worry I wont drive home! Dont be too naughty you kids" Ace says, and winks as he pulls out his phone calling an uber as your uber arrives you both say goodbye to Ace and get in. The ride home was uneventful you both blushed to embarrassed to say anything. Once in the lobby you both say at the same time
"I didnt know-"
"Sorry about them- Yoi"
"You go first" you both say the same thing.
"Please go first Yoi" Marco says as you say
"I didnt know Ace was a regular either. Ive always been on the night shift when the club is packed so theres no need for the dancers to sing since we have a night DJ." Marco nods and replys
"Sorry about them today I didnt know you worked there. Not that theres anything wrong with working there. What I mean is I hope this doesnt get inbetween us. Yoi" Marco says nervously as you say
"Dont worry Marco its just a job someone has to do it plus it pays really well your fine handsome" he nods and blushes at your comment and then let a silence grow inbetween you two before saying
"Haha I dont suppose you want to hang out after this? Yoi" Marco chuckles nervously as you raise an eyebrow.
"Sure sounds good just dont tell anyone where I work" you say sternly and Marco says
"I wont but Ace is another story. Yoi" you facepalm.
"Okay well let me go change and wipe off this makeup then ill be over Marco" you say and he nods
"Okay see you soon. Yoi" you both unlock and walk into your apartments, and you get ready. Once ready you grab your keys, lock your apartment and knock on Marcos door. You wearing a tshirt and shorts like usual. The door opens and you walk in under his arm since he is six foot eight leaving a whole head off of you. Going to his couch and ploping down you ask
"Sooo whatcha wanna do?" He pours two glasses of wine as usual and hands you a glass. Taking a gulp you ask
"Shouldnt you I dont know drink some water? Arnt you tipsy at all?" He glances at you and answers
"I drink socially besides it wasnt alot for me at the club. Ill be fine no need to worry. I dont really get tipsy im a heavy weight. Yoi" he smiles at you as you take another gulp of wine and you nod.
"I figured we could finish that uno game from last night. Yoi" he says and turns on the TV. Its showing the news as something cetches your eyes on screen.
"Wait turn it up Marco." Which he obeys and turns the volume up
"The Cam Girl Killer strikes again on Rose St. in.....last night...." the TV reporter says.
"Rose St. Is right down the road Marco" you state as he sips his wine and turns the channel to MTV Music.
"Im sure youll be fine as long as you keep your daytime schedule. Yoi" he tries to calm you. You take another big gulp of wine. He shuffles the deck and places the cards out on his glass table in front of his couch.
"Marco im a-" you stop yourself as you realize
'No I cant tell him not after today! Bad (N)' you think and he raises an eyebrow.
"No nevermind lets play your going down this time!" After you lost again your on your third glass of wine and Marco cuts you off.
"Alright thats enough wine for you cutie. Yoi" he winks at you and puts the bottle away then sits back on the couch a bit closer to you this time. Hes close enough for you to lean on so you do in your inebriated state, as you both blush he picks up his arm and wraps it around your shoulder, you leaning on his chest now.
"This feels nice~" you whisper but loud enough for him to hear.
"I agree. Yoi" he chuckles slightly as you listen to his heart rate raise. As you finish your third glass of wine your tipsy now and look up to Marco who looks down at you, making you both blush. Completely forgetting the TV was on.
"(N) I...I..... well.. let me just show you.. Yoi" he says as he suddenly tilts your chin upward with his fingers gently and leans down meeting your lips. Reciprocating you kiss back then use your tounge as he uses his flicking yours. He seems shocked you have a tounge bar. Eventually breaking for air he says
"(N) How was it cutie? Yoi" feeling bold with liquid courage you ask
"It felt awesome Marco can I have more? Hehe" Your a blushing mess and he knows this because its so obvious.
"Sure. Yoi" he slides you onto his lap so its easier to kiss him, you feeling his bulge making you blush hard but hes also blushing. You raise your hands to his cheeks, stuble, lean up as he leans down lips meeting in the middle. First it was a kiss then it turned into making out which became more rough. Soon you both were moaning in eachothers mouths as your hands went through his hair. Finally breaking for air you were both panting slightly as you felt his cock twitch in his pants under you.
"Listen (N) I have to admit I really like you. But I dont want to mess things up between us. Yoi" he says while you brush through his hair making him shiver slightly. Your blush deepens and he noticed as you reply
"I really like you too Marco, actually I like you alot okay" you admit as he seems shocked.
"Are you ... alright to make these decisions? You are definitely tipsy. Yoi" he says sounding concerned.
"I may be tipsy but ive liked you for years now Mr. Phoenix. Im glad you made a move." You say poking his nose as he chuckles.
"Really now well ive liked you for years now too. Yoi" he says then pecks your lips again noses close together. He seems hesitant about something but says
"(N) weve known eachother for years, since I like you, and you like me .... would you please be my girlfriend? Yoi" he looks you in the eyes.
"Hehe your so cute when your nervous. Of course id love to be your girlfriend Marco" saying then kissing him making out as he nips at your tounge making his cock harder. You could feel how wet your pussy was becoming with every slight movement. You both moaning as you unbutton a couple buttons on his shirt. He starts to get the drift as he breaks for air and asks
"Are you sure about this? You dont know who your messing with. Your tipsy as well. Yoi" he teases and chuckles.
"Oh im sure Marco and Im okay dont worry." you lick his neck and nip at it making him moan off gaurd. As you unbutton the rest of his shirt to reveal his abs and manly chest making you blush hard making him notice.
"See something you like? Yoi" he chuckles as he has a small blush on his face as he gently rims the bottom of your shirt seemingly unsure. MTV starts playing Ayesha erotica - Luxurious (Remix) by clouds.s0ftt You grab his hands and lead him to pull your shirt off revealing your bra.
"Marco do you know how hot you are or are you clueless?" Taken aback he says
"I work out if thats what you mean. Yoi"
"Being modest is so hot too you know" you kiss him making out, moaning as he grabs you bridal style stands and goes to his room laying you on the bed him unbuttoning his pants dropping them as you take off your shorts flinging them on the floor. Then him going to you he takes off your bra with one hand as the other slides off your panties you moaning.
"Oh wow nipple piercings too your always full of surprises (n) Yoi"
"Ouu Marco~ and yes nipple piercings" you slide off his boxers and jump off the bed kneeling down, he watchs you
"What are you- Yoi!" You take in his ten inch cock in your mouth and he moans out
"Ahh (n)! Yoi" swirling around his mushroom head you lick under his crevasse making him grip the bed.
"Fuckkk!!! Your so good at that!! Yoi" he moans out as you rib the bottom of his cock with your tounge bar making him moan your name
"(N)!! Yess!! Yoi" him gripping the sheets as you go deeper and deeper going in and out sucking while moaning on his cock making vibrations which made his cock twitch. After some time of deep throating him, him moaning your name he says
"God (N) your- your gonna make me cum!!" He yells as you mumble something but dont stop as your in the zone going in and out as fast as you can while sucking and slurping his cock. His cock stiffens and you could tell he was going to cum but he was trying to hold back.
"(N) you dont have to- Yoi" a couple more thrusts and
"Fuck your making me cum!!! Yoi" finally he releases his hot load down your throat as you swallow and slurp up your saliva thrusting through his high then gradually slowing to a stop. Suddenly your being picked up and thrown on the bed detaching your mouth from his dick with a *pop* sound.
"Your in for it now cutie. Yoi" he spreads your legs with his elbows and goes down on you
"Marco what are yo-!!! Ohh!!!" He licks your folds as he slurps up you wetness making you moan out
"Ahh yess Marco!!! That feels so good!!" He rubs your button with one hand as he sticks his tounge into your entrance making you moan loudly.
"Fuckk!! Handsome!!" He slurps and presses your ridges with his tounge getting you very close.
"Fuckk Marco your gonna- gonna make me cum!!" Him rubbing, sucking and moaning into your throbbing cunt sends you over the edge.
"Ahh!! Ma-arco im- im cumming!!" You feel your juices leaking out as he sucks them up through your high. Once finished he comes up wiping his face and crawls ontop of you both of you panting hard as no words are needed to know what eachother wants from the other. He adjusts his precuming cock at your entrance and slides in his tip making you gasp. Kissing you, making out he starts to thrust, inch by inch slowly going deeper with every thrust stretching you out as you both moan into eachothers mouths. Once he hits your back wall you moan loudly as you both break for air huffing. He starts thrusting deeper and harder trying to find your g spot. He finds it quickly, surprising you making you moan loud
"Fuckk!! Yes Marco!! Right there!!" He smiles at your lewd face and continues pumping
"Youve been such a good girl so ill reward you!! Yoi" you snake your arms around his neck running your hand through his hair as you continuously moan out his name.
"Yess!! Marco!!! After about ten minutes
"Aghh!! Marco im gonna cum!!"
"Cum baby girl cum on my cock!! Yoi" he moans out panting as he picks up speed and going harder. A couple more thrusts and

"Um cum in me Marco!!"
"I dont want to get your pregnant! Yoi"
"Im on birth control!"
"Oh! Allright sexy!! Yoi" he moans as he speeds up from him being slowed down to talk which edged him on. Thrusting harder and faster again into your g spot another hour passes you cuming once more in that time before you feel his cock stiffen
"(N)! Im gonna cum are you- Yoi" you cut him off panting loudly, lewd face
"Im close handsome!!" As he continued thrusting you felt your core build and build until
"Fuckk I couldnt hold it! Im cumming Marco!!" You feel your walls constrict around Marcos cock tightly as he moans out
"Aghh!! Take my hot cum in you (n)!!" Sweat dripping from him onto you as you feel his cum squirting into you as you both moan eachothers names.
"Marco!!"
"(N)!! Yess! Yoi" he moans him pounding through your sex highs as he slowly slows down then eventually stops. Resting his head inbetween your breasts panting you both take time to breath again. Once both of your breathing normalizes he asks
"How was that my precious girlfriend?" Looking you in your eyes as you brush a hand through his hair. The other caresses his cheek as you reply
"Best ive ever had to be honest Marco" he smiles as he clutches you tight making his cock go deep inside you causing you to moan as your legs are twitching wrapped around his torso. You hang onto him as he holds you getting off the bed and headed to his bathroom he turns on the water waiting for it to warm up he rubs your back as you kiss his neck.
"Thank you my handsome boyfriend"
"Of course. Yoi" he says as he kisses your forehead and steps into the shower supporting you.
"Okay I have to pull out now (n)" whining you just nod releasing your grip. He holds your thighs as you slide out and down until hes all the way out and you reach the floor shaking. He holds you close to him as the water cascades down you both, you closing your eyes hugging him.
"Im glad you made a move hehe" you giggle and he smiles.
"Me too. Yoi" he says in a huff. Soon you regain some control of your legs as he soaped you both up then you both rinse off. He turns off the shower and grabs two towels one for you and one for him. As you dry off your (L) hair he seems to already be dried off. You watch him grab both your clothes and hands you yours as you hand him your towel you get dressed in your panties, bra, shorts, and t shirt.
"Whew how long was that?" You ask as your legs shake still, while you wobble to the living room and plop down on the couch.
"About three and a half hours. Yoi" he yells from the bathroom. He comes out dressed in different casual pants but no shirt. You blush
"How are you cutie? Yoi" he asks you. You giggle and say
"Im great its hard to walk but how about you?"
"Im doing great too sexy. Yoi" he comes round the table to sit close to you as you cuddle his side he wraps his arm around your shoulder.
~Three Months Later~
Dofo made your schedule permanent since you were bringing in more customers for the day time shift. Ace was one of those customers who loved coming in on his days off specifically requesting you when he comes in. Youve gained more of a following on Tweet too. You had a green screen up in your studio living room to prevent anyone from knowing where you live. You adjusted your set times to at night after "hanging out" with Marco. The Cam Girl Killer struck two more times over the months. You and Marco have been actually hanging out more frequently now that youve adjusted to your new schedule which happens to be Marcos schedule too. You have a healthy sex life. One day Doflamingo said youd have to take over Baby Fives shift at night the next night. You text Marco that you have to fill in for Baby Five.
(N) <Hey babe I have to cover for Baby Five tonight we wont be able to hang out>
Marco <All right just be careful. Ill stay up tonight>
(N) <No please sleep. Ill get in around five am thats so early>
Marco <Then ill wake up around that time. Im gonna do what im gonna do dont worry about me. I just need you to be safe>
(N) <Allright dear goodnight>
Marco <goodnight cutie be safe>
(N) <I will be handsome>
~After Work Covering For Baby Five~
You call an Uber to go home. As you walk into the lobby the door closes. You walk and open your apartment. You feel someone behind you. Instinctively you turn around and dodge a knife that a masked man dressed in a delivery uniform for UPS thrusted at you.
"Marco!!! Help!!!" Yelling at the top of your lungs you grab your taser and aim at his neck as he thrusts again you not seeing where it landed. You connect with his neck as Marco runs out of his apartment with only pants on and a baseball bat. He sees you against the wall and the perpetrator convulsing standing as you keep the taser on his neck.
"(N)! You can let go now hes done! Yoi" you let go of the button and drop the taser in your bag while Marco calls the police. The man falls to the floor. Then you feel faint as you feel Marco cetch you. You passing out.
~A Day Later In The Afternoon~
Flickering your eyes open you hear a HBM rise in BPMs and a familiar voice saying.
"Marco shes awake!" You try sitting up seeing your in the hospital but you hear.
"Hey lay down. Dont sit up yet let me get the bed for you. Yoi" you see Marco come into your room and you obey him laying back down as he adjusts the electric bed to sit you up while your laying on it.
"What am I doing here Marco?" You question as he calls on his phone
"Hello yes this is Marco Phoenix (N) (L)s awake now yes come now okay bye Yoi *click*"
Cocking your head to the side you feel a dull pain in your side as you realize youve been changed into a hospital gown.
"Marco" you say as he directs his attention to you now.
"(N) do you remember what all happened? You were stabbed by the Cam Girl Killer. Law said it was a miracle the knife didnt cut through your organs. Hes the one who did your surgery. Yoi" he says as it all comes rushing back.
"I was coming home from having to cover for Baby Five and the delivery guy thrusted a knife at me so I tased him then you came out and it all goes black from there on." You explain to Marco as he nods.
"I just called the police they wanted to talk with you since they caught the Cam Girl Killer because of you. And I called for an ambulance yesterday for you by the way. Yoi" Marco says.
~Once The Police Arrive~
"Hello miss (N) (L) could you tell us what happened?" The police and a detective asks as you explain your SlayStar on Tweet a Cam DJ, Marco doesnt seem fazed. Then explain the events as they unfolded. Marco is released to go see other patients as you finish with the police. Eventually Marco makes his way back to you.
"Hey Marco when can I go home?" He looks at you then says
"Ill get you discharged soon okay. Dont go anywhere cutie Yoi" he says then dissapears out the door.
'Haha dont go anywhere? Like I can barely move anyways haha'
You blush red as Ace comes in with a bag of your things and paperwork for you to sign.
"Woah why are you blushing? Or are you just happy to see me? Haha So tell me (N).... is it true your SlayStar?!" He blurts out as your face says it all.
"Oh shut it Ace!"
"Haha you are thats awesome! I know a famous person now!" Ace blurts out as Marco comes back in and says
"Ace stop harassing her and keep it quiet she probably doesnt want anyone else to know Yoi" Marco says as he undoes all your cords.
He addresses you
"(N) you all set you can get changed now. I hope you dont mind but I brought you some clothes from your apartment so you dont have to wear your work clothes. I put your key back on your lanyard. Yoi" Ace snickers as Marco explains.
"Thank you handsome" you say greatfuly.
"Ouu wait are you two like a thing now?" Ace asks as you and Marco blush looking at Ace.
"Oh man you are thats awesome! Congrats guys!" Ace exclaims.
"Anyways (N) I told Doflamingo about your situation so dont worry about it he says your job is secure just to get better quick dammit that hes taking this out of your sick pay." Ace explains.
"Thanks Ace it means a lot."
"Come on Ace let her change. (N) be careful of your wound. Ill help you change the bandages when they need changing. Ill see you tonight we have things to talk about" Marco says as you nod and gulp.
'Did I just ruin our relationship by omitting the truth that im SlayStar?' You think as Marco and Ace leave closing the door. You slide your legs out, sit up carefully and stand with some effort. Getting the hospital gown off you see gauze and tape on your abdomen with some blood spots in the gauze.
"Shit" you say and get dressed in black denim shorts and a t shirt.
'Wait Marco must have found out im SlayStar first when he went into my apartment fuck Im gonna have to apologize to him' you think as you put on your black sneakers which you wore to your work when you covered for Baby Five.
'Thank god I didnt wear my thigh high boots that night' thinking as you get your phone and lanyard out wrapping it around your neck.
'At least I have battery left in my phone to call an Uber. What?! Its three pm in the afternoon well at least Marco will get off soon. Who checked me in here? Probably Marco I mean he is my boyfriend.' You grab your bag which had your purse and work clothes in it and head out of the room. Walking outside you call an Uber home. Once home you eat and drink some water then lay in bed for a couple hours until you hear a knock at your door. Slowly getting up you unlock the door and open the door wide revealing
"Hello beautiful. Yoi" Marco says poking your nose as you giggle and open your door wide swinging your arm out gesturing for him to come in.
"Whats this? Am I finally being invited into your apartment? Yoi" he chuckles and pets your head as he walks in taking off his shoes putting them next to yours. You close and lock your door as you go to your bedroom feeling Marco following you. You lay down as Marco lays next to you. Looking into each others eyes he says
"So when were you gonna tell me? Yoi" you blush and think before speaking
"I didnt want to lie to you... you know the stigma against cam girls... I was gonna tell you eventually..... im so sorry Marco. I understand if you want to breaku-" you were cut off by his lips on yours. After a soild couple minutes of kissing you both break off.
"Dont even think that (n) I dont want to breakup thats not what I meant when I said we need to talk. Yoi" he says and cups your cheek.
"Then what did you want to talk about handsome?" You ask as you gently turn over on your side more facing him.
"Well for one youve been hiding half your life from me for over four years... let me inside (n) I want to be apart of your life like your apart of mine. Yoi" he says then removes his hand from your face.
"Okay handsome come with me" you say getting up and headed to the living room, him following you, which you converted into a studio but it still had a couch at least. You go to the kitchen and the fridge getting two Dr. peppers then set them on your desk as you set up your turntables chose and put on a wig. Doing your makeup quickly. And change clothes into a comfy DJ outfit. Marco grabs a Dr. Pepper opens it and sits on the couch watching you. You turn on your computer and start up Tweet.
"Hello everyone im back at it!"

"Ya wow I am in the news, and thank you my OG Robot and Blue Phoenix I love you too awe! And yes I was stabbed but it missed my organs. Hi Surgeon of Death and whatsup Fire Fist"
'Surgeon of Death must be Law and Fire Fist must be Ace' you think. You look at Marco who was smiling on his phone then clicked it and set it down.
'So hes Blue Phoenix well makes sense'
"Anyways im gonna start with Lizzo - About Damn Time" you start skillfully mixing that song with Ed Sheeran - Shivers then continue and eventually end with Ed Sheeran - Shape of You.
"Whew how was this set guys? I hope good. Ive been feeling inspired lately" you glance at Marco whose staring at you work sipping his Dr. Pepper.
<night>

"Night Kiwi, thanks Robot, ya right Slick, thanks Surgeon of Death ill do that, thanks Fire Fist okay ima call it a night thanks to all my subs and viewers~♡ I hope you have a good day or night where ever you may be goodnight" *click* you end the stream and open your Dr. Pepper sipping it as you take off your wig and change your clothes. Then you use a makeup wipe to take your makeup off throw it away and break down your turntables.
"You did wonderful (N)~ Yoi" You hear Marco say. You make him some udon which he happily accepted. After he finished you put the bowl and fork in the sink and say
"Come on I wanna cuddle my boyfriend. Do you work tomorrow?" You question as he follows you to bed.
"No I dont im free and I know you dont work tomorrow so we can cuddle all night babe. Yoi"
"Oh but first let me go grab some stuff youll need. Law may have done a great job stitching you up but youll still need to heal. Yoi" he says then heads out of your apartment. After a couple minutes you hear the door and it lock as Marco rounds the corner of the hallway headed to your bed and lays some medical bandages, gauze, and tape out on the bed.
"Here come lay down flat. Yoi" you hear Marco say and you obey as your flat on the bed in front of him now. He changes your bandage as you pick your head up watching him. Then he tapes the gauze in place and goes and throws away the used bandage then comes back.
"Thanks handsome" you chirp as he puts the rest of the bandages on your nightstand along with his glasses and slides into bed cuddling you gently.
~One Year Later~
At the restaurant Shellfish. You and Marco sat at an outdoor table with a firepit next to you. He had told you to dress up, so your wearing a tight short black dress that shows your curves with matching your black furry pump shoes with a pleather black purse with metal strap.
"You look stunning this afternoon (n). Yoi" Marco says dressed in a grey suit and grey pants and white collared shirt as you blush.
"Awe thank you. Your looking very handsome as well" Smiling at eachother he reaches over on top of the table to hold your hand. You see the waitress come up to you both.
"Welcome to Shellfish what can I get started for you?" Looking at her name tag you could see her name was Sara.
"Ill have an Irish Ale. Yoi" Hearing Marco say as it was your turn next.
"Ill have a Malibu Sunrise thanks" you say as Sara nods then heads inside to get the drink order in.
"Starting strong I see Yoi" You look up to meet Marcos eyes from your menu.
"Huh oh yea well It was a tough day at work." He raises an eyebrow at you as you explain.
"Well I got this four person group of rude guys who kept commenting on my look saying what they would do to me outside of work but they got drunk and left so its whatever" You say as he squeezes your hand.
"You know I support you in your job but I have to say I dislike your clientele. Yoi" He says as Sara comes back with your drinks.
"Thank you. Yoi"
"Your welcome you two. Are we ready to order?" Sara asks. Marco orders his food first as he sees you looking at the menu still hands still intertwined.
"Ill have the steak drizzled in pineapple sauce and diced tomatoes and mushrooms."
"Allright sir and for you miss?" Sara asks.
"Ill have the Ahi tuna roll with a side of rice and lemons please and thank you." she nods writing down your orders then goes to put your orders in.
Making small talk as your waiting for your food he seems antsy.
"Are you alright my love?" He looks like hes been caught thinking about something.
"Ya- ya im fine dear just hungry Yoi" he says rubbing his stomach chuckling. You both continue talking about work when you see Sara come back with food and sets it down backwards. You and Marco just smile and wait for her to leave before swapping plates you giggling. After finishing dinner you sip your Malibu Sunrise finishing it off.
"Thanks for dinner you didnt have to honey~" You coo as he replies
"Anything for my love~ Yoi" He says then stands up and stands in front of you.
"Marco what are yo-" he shushes you then gets down on one knee getting out a small black box, opening it to reveal a sapphire heart ring.
"(N) (L) Would you do me the honor of being my wife? Yoi" Making eye contact with you. Mouth agape your shocked but respond
"Awee Marco id love that yes of course sweety!" You both smile as he slides the ring onto your finger.
"Ah perfect fit" You say as he sits back down and others clap for you both. After Sara comes back with the bill Marco puts his card down after writing up the tip. After leaving the restaurant he calls an Uber while holding your hand.
~At Marcos Apartment Celebrating The Engagement~
"Congratulations guys Im happy for you both Ya" Law says as Marco fills the four glasses with wine.
"Thank you Yoi"
"Thanks Law it means a lot" You say smiling wide just like Marco. Marco hands everyone a glass as Ace says
"Ya congrats you both. So whens the wedding?"
"We just got engaged Ace we dont have a date set yet." You giggle as Ace shrugs.
"I dont know you guys coulda been planning this" he says as Marco explains
"Ace she didnt know I was going to propose she was shocked. Yoi"
"Ahh okay well anyways congrats guys" Ace says and sit on the couch with you and Law leaving space for Marco.
"Hey Marco what do you have planned? Ya" You hear Law ask.
"Were going to play some rounds of Uno."
"Yess!! Your all going down!!" You yell as they all chuckle. Law won the first round then Marco won the second your all on the third round. Its been hours and sipping your drinks.
"No fair I have half the deck!" Ace whines and complains as you, Marco and Law snicker and laugh at Ace. You all have a glass of wine, each on your second glass. Your getting too tipsy by the third glass since you had that drink at the restaurant too and Marco notices.
"Uno!!" you yell laughing evilily as you sway and show one card to them all.
"Heyyy!! Shes cheating guys!" Ace yells as you chuckle evilily.
"No your just bad at this game Ace. Ya" Law says which makes you giggle.
"Hey I am not cheating. S'not my fault you suck at Uno" You snicker while sipping your third glass. Ace just glares at you with a blush on his face mouth open.
"Okay okay thats enough you two. Ace its your turn go. Yoi" Marco chimes in.
"Oh yea well take this (N)!" he yells and slaps down a yellow skip card which makes your mouth hang open, making Ace laughs maniacally. As the time ticks by you had to draw more cards but won the game. Now your all watching TV surfing through channels. After awhile of channel surfing
"Aight I think I better get going guys congrats again" you all hear Ace say as he stands grabbing his phone from the table and head to the door. Then Law gets up grabbing his phone too, following Ace.
"I better get going too my girlfriend is waiting on me. Congratulations you both. Ya" Law says as he opens the door and they both say goodnight and leave. You help Marco clean up the glasses as you down the rest of your glass.
"No more drinking for you. Dont want a hang over tomorrow do you? Yoi" He says while washing the glasses as you dry them.
"But its a special occasion Marcooo" whining you put away the glasses in the cupboard. He chuckles then says
"Ya your right I guess ill have to just take care of you tonight. Yoi" Giggling You wrapped your arms around his waist from behind you kiss his shoulder leaning your head on him as he finishes wiping his hands off.
"Hey let me hug you. Yoi" You release him as he turns around hugging you.
"Can I have cuddles tonight?"
"Of course you can beautiful. Yoi" Letting you go he cleans up the cards then heads to the bedroom too which you follow. Unbuttoning your shorts and sliding them off you slide into his bed as he takes off his shirt goes to the kitchen you hear water running then he comes back and hands you a cup of water. Gulping the water down you set the cup on the nightstand with your phone alarm allready set. Marco slides into bed motioning you to cuddle with him. Sliding over to him you wrap your arm around his waist as he slides his arms under your head and around your waist pulling you closer. Inhaling his scent makes you wet but your too tipsy to initiate anything.
"I love you Marco~ Im glad you chose me."
"Of course my dear. I love you too now get some sleep. Hopefully you wont have a hangover tomorrow. Yoi"

blood of the covenant (natasha “phoenix” trace)
a/n: there is criminally not enough fics for our dear nat. so i finally decided to try my hand at writing for her. as a bisexual woman, knowing i probably won’t be able to come out to my parents is disheartening and upsetting because all i’ve ever wanted is acceptance. so i decided to write some found family/chosen family fluff with nat because that’s what the world needs. cool? cool. 
(also: @a-reader-and-a-writer-for-all​ wrote a very awesome coming out fic with phoenix that if you like this, should go read. or even if you don’t like mine. anyways.)
summary: (bisexual!reader) growing up in a military family, you know what will happen if the Iron Daggers find out about your relationship to their fellow pilot. she doesn’t seem to agree with you on the certain doom you’re expecting.
callsign: Ace
main masterlist | top gun: maverick masterlist
warnings: discussion of past experiences with homophobia from family members, outing as retaliation, mentions of being disowned, swearing, dear god please have mercy i am so in love with natasha, bob is bisexual and i stand by this, he’s also the best friend, Mav is the resident father figure i don’t make the rules, is it obvious i have the flirting skills of a rock, i’m not labelling Nat’s sexuality because everyone has different opinions on it, idk if this is clear but it takes place post-suicide mission, i have no idea if I got Nat’s character right

The feeling of Nat lightly moving her fingertips up and down your arm, the steadiness of her chest rising and falling, the muted sounds of the TV playing, all were slowly lulling you to sleep. Natasha gently shifted under you and you hummed, peeking an eye open at her. “Baby?” She asked softly. 
"Yeah?” 
“How do- how do you feel about telling the team?” She asked and you glanced up at her. “About us?” You shifted, moving to look at her fully and she moved to an upright position, keeping her arms wrapped loosely around your waist. 
“I mean, I don’t know, it freaks me out a little bit to be honest.” 
“Why honey?” She asked, moving a stray piece of hair behind your ear. You shrugged. 
“I know how military folks are, and I know that they aren’t gonna be supportive so- why-”
“Baby, it’s okay. We don’t have to tell them right now, not if you don’t want to. But I don’t think they’re gonna be mean about it.”
“Nat-”
“Just think about it okay?” You nodded, the look of pure love in her eyes overwhelming you. “I love you.” She whispered, placing a soft kiss to your cheek. 
“I love you.”
-
You giggled at your girlfriend as she approached the showers in the locker room. “You’re gross.” You said as she set her stuff down. 
“Yeah, Hangman left Bob and I out to dry again and it cost us the game and my not-having-to-do-200-pushups-in-95-degree-heat.” You snickered. 
“When will he learn?” You teased, admiring how your girlfriend managed to be exceptionally pretty even while sweaty and disgusting. She shot you a smirk, moving towards you, despite the fact that you had just gotten out of the shower yourself. “Oh, no, no, Phoenix, you’ll get me all gross too.” You groaned as she moved towards you. 
“Oh no, guess you’ll have to shower with me then.” She said smirking as she placed her hands on your cheeks, pulling you in for a kiss. Your hands found her waist as she slowly deepened the kiss. Sweat be damned, you couldn’t get enough of her.
“Jesus Christ, you two!” Halo yelled and you leaped away from Phoenix, heart beating against your chest. 
“Sorry Halo.” Phoenix apologized, a laugh gracing her features. You felt nauseous and put a hand out against the tile of one of the showers to steady yourself. Halo was still covering her eyes, making Nat laugh harder. “You’re fine Halo, I promise I won’t go back to making out with my girlfriend. Least not while you’re here.”
“Last time I forget my stuff.” She grumbled, moving towards one of the showers. “Wait- girlfriend? The two of you are-”
“Halo, you can’t tell anyone.” You found yourself saying, a pit of ice forming in your stomach at the sheer horror of the thought. 
“You let the wrong person find out then.” 
“Halo, I’m serious.” You said firmly. “No one can find out.” A flash of hurt crossed Phoenix’s face but almost as quickly as it arrived, it was gone. Halo raised her hands in surrender. 
“Fine, I can keep my mouth shut about this one. But maybe the two of you should consider keeping your hands off of each other in public if you don’t want people knowing.” You flipped her off as she snickered, disappearing back into the rest of the locker room. You turned back to your girlfriend, still feeling slightly nauseous. She shook her head and turned on the water to the shower. 
“Nat.” You groaned, already feeling that she was angry with you. You were greeted with the shower curtain shutting in your face and you sighed as you moved back to your locker.

Maverick had decided to reward the team with a day of dogfight football, given the San Diego heat wave happening and per usual, it turned into a day of utter chaos. You sat off to the side with Bob after a few hours, sipping beer as you watched Rooster and Hangman stand in a very heated debate about who had actually scored the point for their team. “Nix is mad at you.” He said softly as you watch Phoenix pull Rooster away from Hangman. 
“I know.” Bob was the only one on the team who knew your relationship and the WSO had been sworn to secrecy, only being told after confessing his own bisexuality to you and Nat late one night. 
“Are you gonna fix it?”
“Explain to me how I’m gonna fix it Bob.” 
“You could start by telling them.” Before he’d even finished his sentence, you were shaking your head. “Why are you so against telling them?” 
“Because it’s not safe. Because I know how this ends.”
“How does it end?”
“With me losing my friends and the only decent father figure I’ve ever had and I can’t- I can’t go through that again.” Bob took a sip of his drink, studying you carefully.
“Your family isn’t supportive, are they?”
“I’m living in sin. This isn’t what’s expected of me and until I start acting like I’m supposed to, there’s no place for me among the greats.” You whispered, repeating the words your Dad had said the night he’d kicked you out and cut off contact. 
“What are we girlies gossiping about?” Coyote asked, placing himself in between you and Bob and you startled. Bob rolled his eyes at Coyote as Hangman, Rooster, and Phoenix made their way over, Fanboy and Payback not far behind them. Halo was currently trying throw Fritz into the ocean while Harvard and Yale cheered her on. Omaha was nowhere to be found and if you had to guess, he was probably down the beach talking to some girl who’d caught his attention. If you turned just slightly, Maverick was stood on the porch of the Hard Deck talking to Penny. 
“You done already?” Bob called out, choosing to ignore Coyote’s question. 
“You quit like halfway through, man.” Coyote said. 
“Who won?” You called, also ignoring Coyote. Coyote threw his hands up in the air in exasperation as he grabbed a beer from the cooler. Phoenix chuckled. 
“No one. Hangman and Rooster kept forgetting they were on the same team.” 
“Will there ever be a day where we can live with peace and harmony between the two of you?” You asked as the group arrived. “I mean, the bickering was entertaining for like, the first 5 minutes, but now the two of you just sound like an old married couple.” The two boys immediately began protesting at your words as Phoenix sat down next to you. You shot her a smile and she returned it. Things had been weird ever since Halo had found out about your relationship and although she’d kept her word, you knew keeping the relationship from the team was tearing at your relationship. Ignoring the two men who had now devolved to bickering with one another and a muttered agreement from the team about throwing them in the ocean, Payback and Fanboy sat down with the group. 
“What were you and Bob chatting about up here?” Fanboy asked as he popped his beer open. 
“Man, y’all are so nosy.” You muttered and Phoenix shot you a side glance. 
“Ace, you keep so many secrets from us, you never tell us anything.” Coyote groaned and you raised your eyebrows. 
“Hey Ace, is your Dad Admiral Frank Roberts?” Maverick called as he and Penny moved towards the group. “Penny thinks so but I think she’s wrong.” You slowly nodded. 
“I didn’t know you’re from a military family.” Rooster said, clearly having lost interest in his argument with Hangman as he grabbed a beer of his own, sitting down in the sand with the rest of the group. You shrugged. 
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t talk to them.” You felt Nat’s eyes on you as the group turned to look at you.
“How come?” Coyote asked and you shrugged again, not loving all the attention. 
“It’s complicated.” Rooster waved his hand, expecting you to continue and you shook your head. 
“Nope, that’s all you’re getting Bradshaw.” Maverick made a face and almost gave half a laugh and you turned to look at him. “What?”
He shook his head. “Nothing, I’ve just never had that great of experiences with your Dad.”
“Yeah, well, that makes two of us.” He looked at you, studying for a minute. 
“Well, despite that, you turned out pretty damn good kid.” Your cheeks burned, and you hoped everyone would think it was the beginning of a sunburn. 
“Thanks Mav.” You whispered and he patted your shoulder. Maverick quickly changed the topic, telling a story from his early days as a pilot. Phoenix nudged your shoulder as you tried to blink back tears. 
“You okay?” She whispered and you nodded, but quickly got up and walked away from the group. You couldn’t let them see you cry. 
-
You stood in the kitchen of your apartment, quietly getting a glass of water. Natasha had come over that night but things had been awkward and she’d long since fallen asleep in your bed anyways. Your brain was too busy weighing the events of the day, the ghosts of your past, the dilemmas of the present, so no, sleep was not exactly an option. You hadn’t wanted to wake Natasha so you stood in the kitchen, arms keeping you upright against the sink as you looked out over your yard. After you had left the group, Bob had come and found you and urged to let Nat in, tell her about why you didn’t want to tell the team. She knew you didn’t talk to your family but not why. There was no reason to project onto her or upset her. It would merely cause problems. 
But now this was causing problems. You knew that the two of you were at a standstill in your relationship and you knew, that on some level, Nat being able to be authentically herself with her friends was a top priority for her. And she couldn’t do that if she was in a relationship she was hiding. You swallowed, taking a sip of water as you thought about where the two of you would go from here. So lost in thought, you hadn’t heard your girlfriend come into the kitchen until her arms were wrapped around your waist and her head tucked up on your shoulder. “It’s late baby.” She muttered, still sleepy. “Why’re you up?” You shrugged.
“Couldn’t sleep.”
“Why baby?” She whispered and you thought about telling her the truth as you eyes burned with tears. You knew where this was headed. 
“Are you going to break me up with me if we don’t tell them?” You whispered, keeping your attention on the garden. She startled up, blinking away the sleep on her face. 
“Baby...”
“Answer the question.”
“Baby, I just wish you’d tell me why you don’t want them to know. Why you freaked out so bad when Halo found out.” You shook your head, moving away from her. 
“You’re avoiding the question.” She sighed, biting her lip. 
“Please don’t make me do this.” She whispered and you shook your head, trying to blink back the unshed tears. 
“Nat, I can’t- I can’t tell them.” You said, the first few tears starting to fall. “I can’t.” 
“Baby, what’s going on? Talk to me.” 
“I love you Nat, I do, but I can’t lose my family again. I just finally got one.” She moved towards you and you didn’t stop her from wrapping her arms around your chest, bringing you to hers. Your head fell into the crook of her neck as you cried, shoulders heaving with sobs. She held you tightly, whispering soft nothings in your ears as you broke down. You chest ached with the pain of knowing you’d lose your second family over this, but also maybe that you’d lose Nat too. Being with you wasn’t easy, and you knew you gave the pilot a run for her money. Eventually, after what felt like hours but was probably only a few minutes, when it felt like you had no tears left to cry, you tried to pull away from Nat. She kept her grip firmly on your waist, not letting you go far. 
“Darling, please tell me what’s going on. I’m worried about you.” She whispered, reaching up to tuck a piece of hair behind your ear. 
“God, it’s so stupid.” You muttered, shaking your head. 
“It’s not, sweetheart.” She assured and the use of the name she reserved for you and you only made your heart flutter, no matter the circumstances. You bit your lip, glancing away from her and reaching up to wipe away the remnants of your tears. 
“Penny’s right, that my Dad is Admiral Frank Roberts. And he, uh, he’s very clear on how his children are expected to act. And uh, being bisexual is on the very long list of dishonorable ways to behave. According to him, it’s a sin and isn’t right, and below the standards we were raised. And, well, in my early 20′s, my sister and I were fighting about, god I don’t even remember what-” Your voice faltered as you thought back to the painful nigh that took everything from you.
The kitchen door slammed behind your sister and your heart sank. You knew what she was about to do and with a deep breath, you followed behind her. Your parents, who had been in the middle of eating dinner, paused, listening to her as she angrily told them she had something to tell them. You froze in the doorway, heart beating against your ribcage. 
“(Y/N)’s bisexual. She’s got a girlfriend and everything.” Your sister spat and you briefly closed your eyes. You Dad dangerously lowered his fork to this plate, eyes narrowed. 
“(Y/N), is this true?” He asked slowly, the venom clear in his eyes. You knew there was no point in lying, knew with one look through your phone, it would show the truth. You nodded slowly as your Dad rose from the table. He paused in front of you, dangerously close to your face. You willed yourself to remain firm, defiant. “You know how I feel about those kinds of people.” He hissed and you swallowed. “You know how I feel about my kids being associated with those kinds of people.” He took a step back. “You’re living in sin, what you’re doing. This isn’t what’s expected of you and as far as I’m concerned you are no daughter of mine. There is no place for people like you among the greats like me.”
“Dad-”
“You’re a disappointment and a disgrace to the Roberts name and legacy. You always will be.” You took a shallow breath as he took every shot at you that he could. 
“Frank-” Your mom protested but he turned to her. 
“Can you honestly say that that is the kid we raised?” He asked pointing to you. She shook her head slowly, a distance in her eyes. He turned back to you, anger radiating off of him. 
“Get out of my house.” 
“-well, to make a horrible story short, she outed me to my parents and my Dad disowned me.” Phoenix took in a sharp breath as you finished your sentence. 
“Darling, I don’t-” She took a deep breath to steady herself and moved her hands up to grasp your face, forcing you to make eye contact with her. “Darling, there is nothing wrong with you, do you hear me? It’s not a sin, or dishonorable, or anything else that he might have said to you. You love who you love. You’re human. You’re so, so well-loved. By me, by Bob, by Mav, hell, even Hangman’s got a soft spot for you.” You snorted at that and she gave you a soft, albeit watery, chuckle. “I love you, and I’m so proud of you. I know your parents probably aren’t saying it. What your sister did, well-” She took a deep breath as a flicker of anger crossed her face. “Well, it was shitty and it was cruel and you didn’t deserve that. You didn’t deserve any of that.” You nodded, feeling the tears once again crawl up your throat again, but this time for a different reason. “I’m proud of you and I wake up grateful every day that you chose me to stick out life with and I want to shout it from the rooftops and rub it in our friends faces every goddamn day.” You chuckled and she smiled, rubbing your cheekbone with one of her thumbs. “We don’t have to ever tell the team if you don’t want to but they’re not going to react they way you think they’re going to, the way your family did. And if anybody dared to speak to you that way, hell, I’d be getting in my F18 getting ready to take a dishonorable discharge for crushing them.” You let an outright laugh at that, a warm feeling settling in your chest. You nodded, pulling Nat into a hug. 
“Thank you.” You murmured into her shoulder. You weren’t sure what you were thanking her for specifically but you wanted her to know how grateful you were she was there with you. As if hearing your thoughts, she pressed a soft kiss to your neck. 
“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else baby.” 
-
You took a deep breath as the two of you entered the Hard Deck, holding her hand. You had made the decision to tell the team tonight and you were willing to brave any reaction they had, so long as Phoenix was by your side. You appeared at the pool table, where everyone was located, minus Mav. Phoenix squeezed your hand gently as the two of you stopped and attention turned to the two of you. “Alright fuckers, listen up. Ace and I are dating and we love each other very much. If anybody has a problem this, you can take it up with me.” The table stared back at her in shock as you gripped onto her hand, sure your knuckles were going white. 
“You all owe me so much money.” Rooster said finally, turning back to the group. Nat raised an eyebrow. 
“Bradshaw, you bet on my relationship?” 
“Oh, hell yeah. You two were not exactly subtle. We just placed bets on when you’d tell us.” Nat cocked her head as you spluttered. 
“Halo, you promised!” The team looked over to her, curious. 
“You knew?” Coyote asked incredulously. She shrugged her shoulders. 
“I walked in on them making out.”
“But she was sworn to secrecy.” Phoenix reassured, watching as Rosoter’s eyes went wide.
“As was I.” Bob said from his seat on the side. The team swiveled to him. 
“Trace, I can not believe you didn’t tell me!” Rooster exclaimed and she chuckled. 
“Rooster, don’t blame her, it was my decision.” You protested as he stared in shock at Nat. After a few minutes, when the shock wore off, the table picked up it’s normal chatter as Bob hugged you. 
“Proud of you Ace.” He whispered and you squeezed him. 
“Thanks Bob.” You pulled away and glanced over to the bar, seeing Maverick talking to Penny. 
“Does he know?” He asked and you shook your head. You took a deep breath and turned back to Phoenix. 
“Hey, I’m gonna go talk to Maverick real quick.” She nodded, pressing a chaste kiss to your lips. 
“I love you.” She whispered, and you smiled. 
“I love you too.” You shook out your nerves as you walked over to the bar and towards Penny and Maverick. They smiled at you and you had to remind yourself that this was Maverick. “Hey Mav.” You said and he greeted you. “Could I possibly- could we go talk outside for a moment?” His eyes flickered over to Penny but he nodded. He grabbed his beer and the two you left the relatively busy Hard Deck and out to the beach. He sat down on the bench and you sat next to him, taking a deep breath. You felt his eyes watch you carefully as you fiddled with the rings on your hand. 
“You okay, kiddo?” You shook your head, feeling on the verge of an anxiety attack. He shifted as his position went from casual to concerned. “What’s wrong?” 
“Well, nothing really, I’ve just- just got something to tell you and I’m scared.” He took a sip of his beer, nodding slowly. 
“Well kid, I’m ready to hear it whenever you want to say it.” 
“Um, well, okay, here goes nothing I guess. Um, I’m bisexual. Phoenix and I are dating, have been for the past few months.” He was silent for a minute. 
“You worried I’m gonna get the two of you in trouble? Cause I won’t-” You cut him off with a shake of your head. 
“No, um, it’s kind of embarrassing actually. Um, well, you’re kind of like my father figure, uhm, especially because I don’t talk to mine, and uh, well this is the reason why I don’t.” Maverick took in your words. 
“I don’t think that’s embarrassing at all.” He said finally and you let out a watery laugh, not realizing you were close to tears. “I love you all, and yeah, I guess I’ve kind of taken on the role of Dad figure, haven’t I?” You nodded as he pulled you into a side-hug. “Kiddo, if we’re being honest, I’ve known about you and Phoenix since she ripped Coyote a new one for screwing you over during training.” You gave a small laugh and he shook your shoulders. “But, uh, being in the military for as long as I have, I’ve heard a thing or two about your Dad.” 
“Oh yeah?” He grimaced, nodding. 
“Yeah, you- you hear a thing or two about how he treats his kids too.” You looked over at Mav. 
“Does, he- does he talk about what he did?” Mav nodded slowly. 
“He’s very proud of how he treated you. And, uh, when I first met you, I thought ‘There’s no way this kid is his.’ Because Ace, you are an outstanding pilot and an even better woman and in no way compare to the vileness that is your father.” You sniffed. 
“Thanks Mav.” He smiled at you. 
“I love you kid, and I’m happy that you’re happy. I’m happy that Phoenix make you happy because you deserve it. And I know that the Navy loves to tout it’s diversity, but I also know you know how it really is. So thank you for trusting me with this, because I know it’s not easy.” Maverick squeezed your shoulder. “What the saying, blood is thicker than water?” 
“The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” You corrected and he laughed. 
“Of course you know that. Anyways, my point is, you’ve got a pretty good group of friends in there, who really care about you and Trace. And, uh, your family might not have been supportive but they sure as hell will be.” You smiled, not realizing how badly you needed to hear those words. 
“Thank you, Maverick. You really- really don’t understand how much this means to me.”
“Of course, kid. Your family’s always gonna be here for you. Never gonna lose them again.”

From the Ashes the Phoenix Rises
Enji Todoroki X Reader
Summary: Dabi wants to punish Endeavour by slaying his girlfriend on Live TV for the whole world to see
Warnings: Character death, torture, description of murder.
Masterlist - Tip Jar
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
His malice laughter rings across the speaker.
There’s absolutely nothing Enji could do but watch in abject horror unfolding on the screen before his eyes.
His girlfriend Y/n sitting in an uncomfortable awkward position. Her wrist are bound behind her, stuck to a hook on the wall making her shoulders shoot out unnaturally, her arms look like they’ve been dislocated from her shoulder. Her head is hunched over, fainted from the excruciating torture Dabi was putting her through.
“Quickless little bitch! Wake up!” Dabi growls, he places his hot hand on her thigh, searing the meat. She squirm under the painful flame that burns her flesh. A scream pierces his ears, a painful level of which Enji has never heard her achieve.
He feels utterly defeated watching his first born torture his beloved. Watching helplessly, unable to do anything.
Dabi stares blankly at the camera as her soft sobs echo in the background. “I’ll ruin your chances at happiness just like you ruined mothers.” A sick smile stretches across his face.
Panic rising within Enji he watches his son shove two fingers own her throat. His hand ignites blue flames making the fire burn down her throat, killing her from the inside out. The camera captures the very moment the light left her eyes and begins to melt in her skull. Her flesh shrivelling forcing the liquid to the surface and evaporating under the extreme heat.
“Endeavour! We located Dabi and Y/n, they underground on railroad 7, approximately 4.8km from the manhole 94 located on Debussy Street.” One of the computer technicians yell, wholly unaware of her demise.
Enjis knees give out beneath him, staring at her body dissolving to ash. Dabi echos a sick laugh as he flees the scene.
The feed continues rolling as the fire is completely burnt out leaving nothing more than a pile of ash. Enji would have to be sure to collect the ashes, she deserved that much. He would also have to tell his son Shoto about your death, Shoto will be devastated. His brain switches off emotions, fully focused on the methodical tasks he will need to complete in your death.
“Look!” One of the other agency technicians yell pointing at the screen. The ashes begin to sift as a naked woman springs out into a sitting position, gasping for air clutching at her throat she continues to heave heavy breaths, leaning back she lays back down into the pile ashes, her breathing finally slows down. Her hair cascades to the floor to reveal Y/n’s face.
It couldn’t be, maybe it’s a hallucination, maybe it’s a sick joke. But all doubt falls away as he watched her scrunch her face in that way she does when she’s upset.
“Enji.” She moans with a wobbly lip, tears streaming from her eyes. “Enji!” She screams hysterically, tears falling from her eyes in fat blobs. “ENJI!” Her screams pierced his heart. Though screams were distressed, they filled his heart with utter relief.
———————————————————————————
They stand in a tight embrace together in their shared home.
He holds her tightly, terrified that she would disintegrate all over again, terrified that this part wasn’t real and that Y/n really was dead.
“H-how?” Her sniffles began to subside, taking deep breathes she finally speaks.
“I have a Phoenix quirk, when I die I’ll burn up and turn to ash to be reborn at my current age. My life span is 500years.” She pulls her sleeve down to reveal her familiar tattoo with the numbers 300 printed on her wrist. “But I can sacrifice 100 years to bring back another person, it doesn’t matter how many times I die though, it won’t effect my life span.”
“So how old are you then? Why didn’t you ever tell me about your quirk? I thought you were quirkless.”
“I am the age you know me to be, I sacrificed 200 years for my loved ones. I don’t tell anyone out of fear that people will kill and torture me since they know I’ll come back to life anyway, that’s why I moved to Japan. Where no one knew who I was, so they couldn’t do what people in my home town did.” Enji pulls his beloved girlfriend back into his chest.
He has no idea how anyone could do that to you. He doesn’t even understand how you have such a bright and loving smile, how you are so welcoming and loving when you have such a quirk that people turn evil all around you.
He will protect you from the world.
He cannot bare the feeling of loosing or watching you be tortured again.

I’m watching the ace attorney live action movie so you’re gonna have to hear my unhinged thoughts. Liveblog under the cut
God they made the whole spirit channeling sequence look horrifying. I heard that the movie was directed by a horror director and I can definitely see it. Also I love the detail that Mia and Maya were there it just makes it that much sadder. And the implication that Gregory intentionally lied to protect Miles ooof.
Love the parallels between Miles’s and Phoenix’s trials with miles being calm and collected and Phoenix being a hot mess. Also the Dee Vasquez cameo and the turnabout samurai reference. Also the trash confetti lol
I love that Von Karma randomly has a horse skull. Also the foreshadowing of him rubbing his shoulder.
Ooh I like getting to see Mia investigate dl6
Steel samurai jumpscare + Phoenix and Larry friendship
Phoenix why on earth would you pick up the murder weapon with your bare hands. Also Gumshoe!
The childhood flashback my heart 🥹🥹
Damn they really emphasize how grim the three day trial system is. Also von karma in the gallery is a nice touch
I know that the projector dropping was supposed to be dramatic but it was so over the top it made me laugh
What the fuck did they do to my boi red white. They made him emo😭😭. Also making him a reporter instead of a ceo is an interesting choice but clearly they wanted to simplify the case so the could focus on dl6
I love that dystopian future projector ™️ is apparently controlled by dramatic finger snaps and desk slams
And now he has a megaphone because reasons.
Phoenix screaming and tossing papers everywhere seems very in character
The project also comes with trumpet effects and virtual and real confetti good to know. Also maya sitting there deadpan with the confetti is way funnier than it should be
How did they manage to make the blue badger more terrifying
Damn Maya braking down and yelling at white was heart wrenching. Let Maya be angry 2k16
Ooh Phoenix and Maya deciding to investigate dl6 for Mia’s sake is the good shit.
The evidence room? The weapon a piece of evidence? Interesting. Wonder why they changed it since the circumstances of dl6 are so vital to the aa universe. Maybe they wanted to add suspense for longtime fans?
Also damn that cut to yogi and edgeworth
Of course the blue badger has a matching umbrella also him holding it for gumshoe lol
Also what is going on with Maya’s scarf
Lotta’s bedazzled camera. Love hippie lotta
Von karma and Phoenix awkwardly shaking hands
Edgeworth’s face when lotta said she wanted to be a witness
Nessie… well it is gourd lake… Gourdy!!!
What’s going on with Redd white lol. Why is he so edgy
“My cravat does not flutter” everyone collapses in shock
I appreciate that the high tech projects can be used as projectiles
Did yogi keep Polly in a fucking locker
The fucking tv in the flashback
How did they make dl6 even more convoluted
Phoenix talking very slowly to draw out the verdict is once again very in character
The empty husk of the blue badger inexplicably showing up to stop the verdict is the scariest thing I’ve seen in a long time
Polly shitting on the floor and demanding food while Phoenix tries to question her
The look on his face when Polly climbs on him
Damn I feel so bad for Yogi he didn’t deserve all that
Also the scene where he burned off his fingerprints was brutal
Also him training Polly the bird to say I love you so he could pretend his wife was still there was heartbreaking
Love Maya dramatically playing piano in the background
Phoenix shitting himself at Mia’s appearance
Von karmas motives make a lot less sense without the penalty
Larry crouching in anticipation lol
Paper stack ex machina
God damn that’s convoluted
Man is there anything that the future projected can’t do. Now it has bullet analyzing lasers
Also the gun firing because it bounced of yogis back is so stupid and so fucking funny
What the fuck is going on with those camera cuts with Von karma’s breakdown
Larry playing with the confetti is cute
I love the detail of the poor workers that have to sweep up the confetti
Phoenix wanting to take on yogis defense is really sweet and such a good characterization choice
Music swells on the worlds most homosexual handshake
Them yelling at Larry lol
Mayas suitcase is cute :)
Gay eye contact
Jamming ninja and engarde cameo at the very end
And one final objection to round us out
Overall I enjoyed it it was a fun time. Definitely super over the top but it’s ace attorney so it comes with the name. There was some things I didn’t like like the changing of the circumstances of dl6 and the lack of development with phoenix and Maya’s friendship but overall it was enjoyable

When She’s Gone
Plot: Phoenix leaves Hangman and their children behind as she goes on a mission. Leaving Hangman to try and help the kids when they miss there mom. 
Warnings : None, just fluff :)
Authors Note: This is my first fic so please be kind! Also I do not own the right to the characters of Hangman, Phoenix, and Bob
Goodbyes were always the hardest no matter how many times it had been. Phoenix was used to saying goodbye to Hangman it hurt but they had a rountine. They both understood that this was difficult thing to do, but being married somehow made it harder and easier all at once.  Leaving her kids was complete different story. Her sons Nick and Shepherd or more affectionately known as “Shep”  were 6 and 4 had started to understand why mom had to leave. Her daughter on the other hand Sasha who was only two threw a fit when Jake had to take his daughter out of his mothers hands. 
“Bye sweetheart, I love you okay. Be good for you daddy.” Natasha ever the brave held back tears. 
Her daughter was still wailing in Jake’s arms confused as to why her mom was leaving her. Sasha had Jake’s glowing green eyes and it hurt to see them upset. Phoenix’s WSO, Bob passed by giving a knowing glare to Jake. 
“Make sure she comes home to me.” He directed to Bob. 
Bob smiled knowing that partly he couldn’t make that promise to hangman and that if anyone was in charge up in the air it was Phoenix. 
“I love you Nat. Just come home to me okay.” Jake softly spoke which landed one last goodbye kiss confirming that she loved him too. She kissed each of her children on the forehead before walking away. 
The boys managed to hold it together and by that point Sasha had calmed down a little. The four of them walked away going back to there car. 
----- 
It had been two weeks since Natasha had left and for the most part the kids were good.However, they were only at the half way point of the mission and she wouldn’t be home for another two weeks at best. Once Jake had gotten everyone to sleep and headed back downstairs to watch a little TV before going to sleep himself. It hadn’t been that long when he heard little footsteps make there way down the staircase. The green eyed and dark hair girl turned to corner and tried to hide her face so that her father wouldn’t see her. 
“Sasha Seresin what are you doing up young lady.” He chuckled. 
The little girl a bit frazzled showed her face and walked over to her dad where he sat her down in his lap. 
 “miss mommy.” She looked down and a tear fell down her face. Hangman heart sunk as he took his hand to her face and whiped away her tear. He hated how upset she was when there wasn’t anything he could do about it. 
“I know you miss mommy and I miss mommy too. But, she's helping people right now and we got to put on our bravest faces alright. Sasha can you show me you bravest face.” He smiled. 
The little girl straighten her shoulders and put her little fist on her hips and looked straight ahead. Jake pushed her hair out her face and kissed her on the forehead. 
“That’s my girl.” He exclaimed. “Hey do you want to watch some video’s of mommy on my phone.” 
Sasha nodded her head and hangman whipped out his phone flipping to his camera roll. He turned his little girl around so now she was laying on his chest so that they could both see the video. He started one video and it was in the hospital after Sasha had been born. Nat was teasing about what she would do with a little girl. The video panned to the newborn sound asleep in her mothers arms. 
“You know who that is?” Jake questioned. 
“BABY” Sasha yelled. 
“Not just any baby thats you sweetheart.” He smiled. She shook her head in disbelief “Just watch it okay.” 
The video went back up Nat who had the biggest smile on her face. She held her daughter up to her face making sure she could get her into the camera frame. “This is Sasha Michelle Seresin. Oh Jake isn’t she perfect.” 
Sasha looked up at her dad in disbelief and he winked back at her. 
“Of course she is” You could hear him behind the camera. “She looks just like her mama.” 
“But with your green eyes.” Natasha giggled looking down at the baby. The video ended and Sasha looked up with those big green eyes this time filled with joy. 
“More, More” She insisted. 
“Alright a few more videos then its off to bed for real.” Jake exclaimed back to her. 
He pressed the next video and a few more after that before the little girl feel fast asleep in her fathers lap. He finally moved her back up to her bed and fixed the photo on her nightstand which just so happened to be the photo of Jake and Nat bringing there baby girl home from the hospital.

Public opinion
A must requested ‘I have wings, so why do I feel stuck to the ground like never before’ snippet. 
Hope you guys enjoy 😊
Gordon lay lazily on the couch, flicking through TV channels. It was a hot summer day on Tracy island, and the air con was broken…And Gordon was banned from swimming because of a broken arm and ribs…
Speaking of Air-Con, Virgil was halfway in the vents trying to fix the damn thing, while Scott ‘the smother hen’ hovered below him. Dad was conversing with brains in the corner, about something vaguely thunderbirds related. 
But if it wasn’t about thunderbird four, Gordon wasn’t interested. Watching Scott smother-hen was somewhat entertaining, an added bonus it wasn’t aimed at him, thank goodness! 
Scott’s worrying/overprotective self hasn’t been the same since Ala-
“Ugh, this is the worst!” Gordon groaned dramatically, throwing the remote down on the coffee table. Don’t think about Allie-Don’t go down that rabbit hole of pain Gordo… 
“I’m borrrreeeeed and there’s nothing on…”
Scott frowned at him. “Don’t-” 
“Hey, Virg?” Tilting his head up, Gordon grinned as he found his perfect distraction. “Is the air con-”
Virgil growled, head appearing out of the vent dishevelled, “If you say ‘is the air-con fixed yet?’ one more time! I swear I’m going to shove this wrench up your-”
“Virgil!” Jeff snapped, frowning at his middle child, “I would not finish that sentence, young man!” 
“Sorry, Dad…”
Gordon snickered at the cowed look on Virgil’s face.
“And Gordon?” Jeff sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose, “If you are so bored as you say, instead of provoking your brothers, why don’t you go help your grandmother and Omaha in the kitchen?” 
In the kitchen… in the kitchen?! With two alpha females?! With varying cooking skills?!
Oh Hell no!!
“Ahhhh, a-actually I’m feeling really tired, with being injured and all…” Dialling poor sad squid-pup eyes up to eleven. “s-so I’m just going to rest here if that's okay with you?” 
Was Gordon’s life flashing before his eyes? Yes, yes it was.. Was he sweating/grinning in terror? Also yes. Did he want to wipe that smug smirk off Scott’s face?
Oh hell yes! 
Jeff hummed with a nod, “Very well, you do that, Son…”
(Translation: Behave or else) 
And to drag the point home, Scott decided that a light slap behind the head was in order. 
“Owwww!” Gordon pouted up at the frowning older man. “That hurt, I’m already injured you know…”
“You deserved it, squid…” Scott scoffed, rolling his eyes with a smirk, “anyway, as far as I was aware, it was your arm that was broken, not your head-” 
“Breaking News!”
All eyes snapped to the screen, each ready to deploy if needed. (Wasn’t the first time they learnt of a rescue by seeing it on tv) There were two poshly dressed news presenters, reporting about a violent protest in progress. 
“The Vigilante known as Phoenix was spotted trying to calm things down, but as this video taken an hour ago shows, he wasn’t very successful…”
The screen changed to a video recording. It was obviously taken by someone in the crowd as the camera kept shaking as it focused on the vigilante. Who looked overwhelmed; urgently talking into his comm. 
The crowd was getting more feral by the minute. Someone threw a rock at the hero, who caught it with ease; posture tense. The crowd went silent as piercing blue eyes stared at the rock, then into the crowd. 
A shiver ran down Scott’s and Gordon’s spines. (The crowd didn’t know what they were dealing with or provoking…) 
Then one of the braver (Read: stupid) protesters yelled a slur and the crowd followed. Shouts of ‘Freak! Go back to where you came from!’ ‘Fake hero! Fake victim! Murder!!’ ‘Get lost!’ and ‘mind control, my ass!’ echoed for miles. 
The police were now getting involved, as more projectiles were thrown. 
The video ended with Phoenix finally reaching his limit with a shout, (in another language Gordon noted, was that arabic?), powerful wings sending a shock wave into the crowd as he took off. 
Virgil couldn’t help but notice how distressed Phoenix had been as he fled; the big brother in him aching for the young teen. (His heart knew something he didn’t, and that confused him like hell…) 
The TV switched back to the newsroom,  “Well, that was something, wasn’t it, Mike?” The obviously fake blond mused, acting like she was talking about the weather, not…not whatever that shit had been. 
“It sure was, Karen…” Mike responded with an annoyed frown; like he had other places to be. “While I don’t support violent protests, I have to say I agree with these protesters, standing up to that vigilante…”
Something sour stirred in Gordon.
“How so, Mike? Isn’t Phoenix one of those ‘heroes’?” Karen put a weird emphasis on the word ‘hero’, clear disdain in her voice. “Isn’t he on the side of the police?”
Virgil’s brown eyes were staring holes into the tv, while Scott and Dad just watched with neutral frowns; Scott obviously more unsettled out of the two men. 
“Can we really call him a hero, Karen? Isn’t he an assassin?” Mike paused momentarily, a smug look appearing on his face, “-or excuse me, former assassin; As if that makes it any better…” 
Karen hummed softly, “They say that ‘apparently’ he was mind-controlled…”
“Very convenient excuse, don’t you think?” Mike spoke mockingly, before looking at the camera. “How can we trust those ‘heroes’ with our children, when they let Phoenix, who I remind you have killed hundreds of innocent people-”
The TV shut off with a deafening click.

The new era might be a Danger Days sequel
So this has a lot to do with merch drops as well which are more so circumstantial and could be for the album's 10th anniversary, except that would be a year late, bc we got a shit ton of merch drops for Danger Days last year. The masks and stuff all came out in 2021, not 2020.
We also just got Killjoys National Anthem and the TV show that was announced but haven't heard anything else about yet last year. Why would there be such a huge focus on Danger Days after the anniversary, while National Anthem did come out during 2020 that can be argued being for the 10th anniversary. More on National Anthem specifically later.
The rest is more speculative and connecting some dots that may or may not be linked.
Killjoys: California features the character the Phoenix Witch called the Phoenix Witch and there may be an analog to her in National Anthem in issue 4, but is left unnamed, if that's who it's supposed to be the phoenix is symbolic of life after death, the Ash (foundations) of Decay bring back the phoenix to new life.
Going towards the comics I also feel like I have to bring up the costume Gerard wore at MK1, the Moon Knight, and possibly an I'm Not Ok album art ref, basically I think this is BL/ind in some sort of compacity. There are a number of striking similarities to what we have seen from BL/ind
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think the outfit he is wearing is pretty similar to the draculioids and I can't remember what the other mask is called, but the main thing that gets me is the black boots and the mask, white suits are uncommon as well but that could just be that Gerard was watching too much Moon Knight, this whole thing could just be Gerard cosplaying Moon Knight for all we know. The mask looked familiar and to me, it looks like a torn-up version of the last image, and if it does take place after Killjoys California that could make a lot of sense. Spoilers for the comic, but at the end of California, Battery City is pretty much destroyed by Destorya and people are free from BL/ind from what we know, that might be the backdrop of the show.
Speaking of Destorya, we have Gerard yelling Rats a lot in concert, rats are mentioned a number of times in Danger Days and its associated canon, such as the lyrics of Destorya and again in Mastas of Ravenkroft, both of which are being played on tour. Honestly the fact Mastas is being played at all makes me very curious if this is a Danger Days concept. But reats are again mentioned in the backdrop of the show
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Beyond rats we also have Swarms of bugs, mainly flies. We don't really know what Swarm means yet, it could be a tour name or it could be an album title, or something else entirely. But the imagery of the fly is brought up a number of times on the tour merch, as well as mentioned in National Anthem.
In National Anthem we actually saw a familiar face, Tommy Chow Mein, and you know what his head was? A fly. Tommy has always been associated with bugs in Danger Days lore but it's awfully convenient that between Gerard's post with him in the fly mask, Tommy Chow Mein specifically being depicted with a fly when his twitter avatar was an ant, and this new tour iconography, are all flies.
Tumblr media
Is any of this definitive proof? Absolutely not, it's just speculation on my end that I've been thinking about since we first saw the Swarm merch. I keep on noticing little tidbits so I might change this post or add onto it later, but I figure I'd share it because I thought the similarities were interesting and Im always down for more Danger Days related content.

Chapter 3 of "This World Sucks"
(Joebear POV)
Chapter 3: Wednesday, September 9, 1987
Once we got onto Thunderbird Road, there was a lot of traffic. Many people looked forward to the awakening of a Greek God that was occurring that day. Some people got so excited that they failed at driving that morning. Traffic was backed up for at least three streetlights. The paramedics, fire department, and policemen were trying to figure out how to get the passengers in the two cars to safety. By the time we inched up to see what happened, we noticed a van was flipped over on its back like an upside down turtle.
The other car was a red 1984 Toyota Celica, or what was left of it. My eyes popped out of my head looking at it.
Chris looked at it and said, "Whoa!!!! What a crash!" At the tender age of six, my brother was already sadistic. He seemed more amused than mortified.
"BY GOD! None of that would have happened if they would have learned how to drive. Slow down. You'll live longer!" my mom ranted. "Because of them, now we're playing Bumper Cars!
I knew better than to interrupt my mother's rants.
“Okay! Green means go. Green means go. GO! GO! GO! Gas pedal's under the right foot! Try pressing it! BY GOD!" my mom shouted at the drivers in front of her.
Chris giggled.
Mom kept driving for a few minutes before the next crazy thing happened. Apparently, the city of Phoenix, AZ was having a Greek Festival in the middle of the morning rush hour. “Of course, I have to get caught up in this mess! By God!” she said as she spent ANOTHER stupid period of time inching through traffic. I was pretty sure one of the grizzly bears riding a unicycle gave us the paw as he crossed our path in traffic. Apparently, Mom had a medical condition called Tourette’s syndrome in which she couldn't control the language coming out of her mouth. I'm not going to repeat the speaking-in-tongues Mom did while driving that day. She gritted her teeth at the bear who was riding a unicycle and gripped the plastic on the steering wheel with her veins popping out of her paws. I didn’t know who was more aggressive. My mother or the bear?
Mom stared at the back of the car in front of us with an intensity of burning a hole through the rear window. She was seriously ready to run over the next clown that cut us off.
A blue car pulled up next to us and honked. When I saw who honked at us, I waved. Chris made a funny face at Pippy and her younger sister.
Mom honked at her and rolled the window down. "Hey Genevieve, how do you like this traffic? It's INSANE!" she yelled.
"Sure is! It took us forever to get up here! I know a Greek God is being awakened, but they need to do something about this traffic!" Pippy's mother, Genevieve shouted kindly to Mom.
“YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! Two bears gave me the paw. Five clowns cut me off, and now we got Greek kids are trying to cross the fucking street!!!” Mom shouted as we inched forward.
Pippy's mom laughed and shook her head. "I know it! Mm Mm! They should have at least given detours around these festivals! People might actually be able to see the Greek God awaken!" she said.
"It's retarded to drive in these bullshit conditions. Might as well have watched the awakening on TV!” Mom screamed.
Pippy's mom laughed even louder to the point where my brain jumped to the top of my head. "It's a mess," she said.
Chris was making faces at the girls, and they and I rolled our eyes. 'Ugh, Chris, why are you dumb?' I thought.
Mom waved goodbye to Pippy's family and sped ahead of her. She grumbled to herself. “Thank Goodness we're almost there! By God this drive has been painful,” she ranted.
"Yeah. It was boring until Pippy and Patsy showed up. I like torturing them," Chris said with a small blush.
I rolled my eyes at Chris again.
"I'm sure you do, Chris," Mom said before we heard a thud! "Oh shit! I ran over a small clown!" Then there was another Thud! This time, she ran over a traffic cone. I looked behind us and saw two clowns shaking their fists at us. One was the small clown that Mom accidentally ran over, and the other was a normal-sized clown who was helping the other clown get up. Mom gave them the finger from behind us and spoke in tongues for a moment before she continued with, “I wouldn't have run them over if they weren't in the road!" She was slowing down from 10 miles per hour as she drove past an Apollo float going toward Encounter Church.
Before I could think, Mom honked the horn again. She had another Tourette’s fit directed at a clown in the midst of her honking the horn. “Another <insert a slew of curse words> clown cut me off again. I almost ran him over,” she said.
"Why are there clowns running around in the road, Mom?" Chris asked.
“I don't know, Chris, but I am going to run over this trapeze artist if he doesn't get out of my way. He needs to go back where he came from,” Mom responded. She sighed a long sigh. She was the master of sighing. I swear that she sighed every hour on the hour. And then she sighed every five minutes in between. She was a Master Sigher.
I was relieved when we were finally at the Encounter Church. That drive was beginning to make me nervous.
"Come on, kids! Let's go check out the awakening of this Greek God. I heard he's going to make everyone's life easier," Mom said as she ushered us out of the car.
We walked toward the church and around a bunch of excited people, and once we opened the door, a bright light shone so brightly that all we saw was the head of a dark-haired baby with bright green eyes. He looked like the random baby that was on the screen of a Teletubby episode.
"Hello, Earth. I am Pauno, the Greek God of food, milk, video games, and common sense. Thank you for coming to my awakening!" the Greek God baby spoke.
At that moment, I felt peace and was happy that we endured that drive down Thunderbird Rd.

This is really our stuff cuz I can't fit into cars the two I really heavily involved. And we've been kind of saying it and we know how to do it and we understand how to make it work.
-you need to have a motorcycle that's a trike or a rough tribe with a certain amount of horsepower 45 horse is not going to do it you can soup the motor up but it might break. They don't make any trikes nowadays that are 45 horsepower the tracks they make are all 55 plus what really makes it work is the torque. And anything with 55 or plus torque no 45 and that's a lot of torque. We're going to rip this guy Trump a new one and he's going off into movies saying is going to kidnap our son same dumb things anything and put them in the hospital and he gets beat up bad in the movie with Steven seagal he was going to be executed and is on TV and he's the warden and they're going to execute him anyways and they end up doing it and about half his brain is dissolved but poison the long way gets out is on the warpath against her son gets killed a whole bunch of times and excluded from here try to get them out trying to get our son out using tons of ways nobody falls for anything finally he says how about money then lack of money and then he gets his ass kicked and this it's coming up this month people are yelling at him the whole time.
An example of why you should not support him he opposes this idea basically it's because the empire does everyone's pushing for it and this idiots in the way so we're talking about his story and what people going to do to him that's punishment..
We told you the horsepower requirements and torque and what you do is use the engine to turn turbines and it is completely that you have to add gears but you don't have the gears to the motorcycle, you have them at the wheel which will each wheel has a geared turbine then it's a very fast turbine and you wonder how you can control the speed of it with one throttle the answer is you can't and your Force vector by simply turning the tires so they ask how do you get the front end off the ground and the answer to that is that you have a fairing that goes to the front under the bike and when you're on the ground it will push you up in the front and it works till about 10 ft and at that point your turbines are moving fast and you can hold the nose up by directing the air some people add small fins and it does help and they detract and they retract and their titanium and most of the time it's hard to tell it's a fly motorcycle. And we shall leave you with this he thinks this is what one reason why just a legend of the Phoenix it's most of the special ship but it's why Harley-Davidson has the eagle and it might be what these motors are intended to be used for by the max tons of people caught on to it no but you will

Zues Hera
I gathered up trillions of these now I'm going after a lot more I'll see what he's saying you couldn't tell me I've got a big mouth mine don't listen so I just told him to told them to and I said we're going to move stuff around and they did it with Glee now I'm going to see how I have one and it works and it's stupid we have a ton of these for cars and the cars aren't fast enough but these are and they're much faster when you put a real fairing on they go extremely fast and they're hard to hit and that's this point
Bja
I got to tell you we're going to start working harder and we do work and he knows it but this is great I see why it's the screaming eagle it's going to sound like it's screaming when it's close by because of the noise from the turbines and it's intense I've never heard anything like it bja made one and it's just massively awesome you're going to all of it
