Gazerbeam / Simon J. Paladino x Reader: Recognition

Word Count: 2,308 Warnings/Notes: Established relationship, but the Reader doesn’t know that Simon is Gazerbeam. Masked criminals are evading the Supers but literally run into the Reader (other than that, they do not harm the Reader, but there is an attempt at grabbing the Reader). Small scratches on the Reader’s arm from falling onto the sidewalk. Frozone and Mr. Incredible trying to be wing-men? Also, kissing and cute moments with Simon. Summary: The Reader is returning to work from an errand but gets swept up (knocked over, rather) into Super activity.

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

  Running a quick work errand was not what you had expected, but did not mind. The weather outside was pleasant. The white clouds that dotted the sky were nearly reminiscent of a cartoon. And, it did not hurt that while a good portion of people were at work it left non existent foot traffic for you on the sidewalk.

  Meanwhile…   The situation had escalated. As soon as the five criminals saw the arrival of the Supers, they split. Leaving the store they were holding up, and the unsuspecting citizens inside, they ran to the sidewalks in hopes of avoiding capture.   In the light crowd, they tried to lose the three Supers. Though as luck would have it, the police began to arrive to the scene. Two of the masked individuals were taken down, leaving the other three.   The Supers could only do so much in their pursuit. With other citizens around, they dared not risk a single one being accidentally hit in the process.

  As you walked back up the sidewalk, you only had one thing in mind. Return to work on time. It was not as if you were strolling and sight seeing. You just wanted to get back to your regularly scheduled day. Surely, there was no harm in that.   With all of the usual city sounds, it easily became background noise. Of course it those sounds came in the form of gasps and yells of protest, you would have noticed. Unless they originated from the next block over.

  Surprise wrapped your confusion as you were struck in the shoulder. The force of impact was so strong, that it sent you and the others tumbling to the ground. There was a sting of pain on you arms during the scramble, but other than that, you were unharmed.   Your nerves, however, were a different story. As soon as you looked over at who had ran into you, you wished that you had not left work in the first place. Looking at the black ski-masked face, how were you to know that you would mess up a criminal plan of escape? Unintentionally, of course.   And so, you found yourself lying on the sidewalk. Scuffed up and staring, you witnessed a couple criminals tumbling over each other. Once they were scrambling to get to their feet, time appeared sped up.

  Sirens blared in the distance and a colorful trio arrived. Three Supers ran over through the alley toward the scene. In a vibrant blue and white suit, Frozone created a short wall of snow, blocking the three criminals from leaving up the sidewalk. Mr. Incredible punched one of the men as he turned, weapon in-hand, but soon fell with a significant thud. Another almost got laser beamed at his feet as he went to grab at you, but stumbled back with a yelp.   Senses returning, you sprung to your feet and took quick steps away. Even as they were easily subdued by the Supers, you wanted to keep a distance. This was all too much for you to handle. All at once and unexpectedly.   Your eyes widened as the scene continued to unfold.   Mr. Incredible hit another guy while Frozone literally froze any weapon that they attempted to pull out and use against them.   Whatever else that played out went unseen by you. Gazerbeam had taken a wide stance in front of you, completely shielding you from the bad guys. You found yourself staring blankly at his back.

  After a few moments, it became relatively quiet.   Gazerbeam turned around, his visored helmet looking directly at you. “Are you all right?” He asked with a concerned frown.   “I think so,” you mumbled.   He nodded, “Excuse me for a moment.”   How hard did I hit the ground? You wondered in thought. He sounded almost like—

  Sirens blared as the police pulled up to the scene. Hopping out of their squad cars, they quickly thanked the Supers as they began to arrest the criminals.   You looked on as the criminals were handcuffed and set into the back of the cars; the supers giving more details of the event to the officers.

  After they spoke with the officers, the Supers turned their attentions to you.   “Are you all right?” Asked Mr. Incredible, stepping over to you in his blue suit. You swore the width of his shoulders could block out the sunlight.   “It’s just a few scratches. Nothing serious, thank you.” You replied hastily. Not that you even gave yourself the chance to actually look yourself over.   “Well, it’s a good thing you were here,” Frozone praised. “You just helped us stop some bad guys.” Collectively, he and Mr. Incredible sounded a lot more encouraging than you were expecting.   “It was definitely not what I had in mind for today,” you said, peering over as the officers were getting ready to drive off with the criminals.   “Perhaps you should be more mindful of your surroundings,” said Gazerbeam. The Super stepped over to the other two, but brought a foot back when it appeared as if he was going to walk much closer to you.   Did…did he sound familiar? You found yourself looking at the helmeted Super. “I guess I should.” You replied calmly, taking in his entire appearance, even down to body shape. Yes, definitely familiar.   “Easy, Gazerbeam,” said Mr. Incredible, “it’s not like they knew a couple of guys were going to run in their direction.”   “And bulldoze me over,” you mumbled, crossing your arms.

  From your commentary, their eyes zoned in on the scratches and marks littering your arms.   “You’re hurt,” Gazerbeam said, stepping over. Gently, he grabbed your arms to examine them before you could fully understand the evolving level of their conversation.   “It’s not that bad,” you said, involuntarily flinching as he put his gloved fingertips to the marks.   “I would hate to see what qualifies as bad,” he added.

  The gentleness of his touch sent your mind whirling before you collected yourself. “Anyway, they’re expecting me back at work.”   “H-hey, how about we walk them over there? It’s the least we can do,” offered Mr. Incredible with a bright smile.   Gazerbeam released your arms at his words.   “What a great idea,” Frozone said, patting Mr. Incredible on his shoulder.   You smiled kindly, “That’s not really necessary.”   “We insist!” Mr. Incredible said. “Lead the way!”   “Oh, um, okay then,” you wrung your hands together.

  And so began your superhero escort back to work. You could only hope that it was not too noticeable.   “I’m Frozone, by the way,” the Super smiled. “What’s your name?”   A quiet laugh left your lips before introducing yourself.   Mr. Incredible lit up at your name. His eyes went to Gazerbeam with a smile that did not go unnoticed by you. “It’s great to put a name to a face. I’m Mr. Incredible, and this is Gazerbeam,” he introduced cheerfully, the other Super giving a soft smile. “So, how’d you get caught up in all of this?”   “I was on my way back to work. They asked if I could run an errand, and so I did. Everything was going very well…up to a point.”

  There was nodding and silence before one of them spoke up again.   “Not married?” Mr. Incredible asked of you.   You gave a small laugh, all the while Gazerbeam looked toward Mr. Incredible, with a frown. “No. I do have a boyfriend.”   “Good guy?” Asked of Frozone.   “The best,” you beamed. “He’s a pro-bono lawyer for the city. You might know him. He mostly works for the rights of Supers. Simon Paladino.”   “Oh~” Mr. Incredible and Frozone smiled, their face practically lighting up with recognition.   “He’s a great guy,” said Mr. Incredible.   “Smart too,” added Frozone.   “And those crazy light blue eyes,” Mr. Incredible awed at.   “Hey, he’s my boyfriend to gawk over,” you laughed, before lowering your voice, “and I do love his eyes…”   Gazerbeam’s attention directed more to you at your words.

  Soon, the four of you arrived at the front of an office building. Stopping, you turned toward the Supers. “Well, I guess this is goodbye.”   “Have a good and safe rest of your day,” Frozone shook your hand.   “And tell that Simon of yours we said hello,” Mr. Incredible said with a grand smile.   “I hope to see Simon later but…I’m not so sure because of his schedule.”   “Too busy for you?”   “Oh, no. Not at all. I don’t mind. He’s a great man doing good for the city.”   With final nods to the end of the conversation, they waved as you took your leave into our place of work.

  “You were being far too obvious,” Gazerbeam chided.   Frozone put his hands to his hips while Mr. Incredible pressed a button to summon his car. “I think we did pretty well..all considering.”   Gazerbeam’s frown deepened in his confusion. “All considering what?”   “You throwing yourself in front of them.”   “I cannot risk them furthering injury.”   “And don’t forget how he held their arms,” added Mr. Incredible. “You should surprise them with flowers. Be spontaneous!”   Gazerbeam’s head all but tilted at the thought. “But we had no plans scheduled for this evening.”

  “Simon! I wasn’t expecting you today,” you practically jumped up out of joy. “Come in, come in,” you ushered him inside.   “I hope my visit here is all right. I do not want to intrude,” Simon said.   After shutting the door behind him, it was then that you noticed him carrying a small bundle of flowers in one hand.   “Not at all!” You threw your arms around him. “I am absolutely delighted to see you.”   There was less tension in his shoulders when you said so. That, and you gave his cheek a firm kiss before pulling away.   “I got these for you.”   Now Simon was not one for grand displays or huge gestures, which made the flowers an added bonus to his surprise visit.   “They’re beautiful. Thank you, Simon. This is so sweet of you,” you gushed as he handed them over to you. “I’ll have to find something nice to put them in,” you said, leaning in to give his lips a kiss this time before running off to find a vase of some sort to hold water.

  After you set the flowers for display on a table, you returned your attention to Simon. “So, what brings you here today?”   He grabbed ahold of your hands and you stepped even closer. “I wanted to see you. Is that a good enough reason?”   “That satisfies my curiosity,” you laughed softly. “You can surprise me any day.”   Simon’s gaze lowered to your arms and his brows furrowed. Slowly, he rotated your arms until you were palms up.   “What happened?” His voice softer.   Honestly, the kind, concerned expression on his face almost made you want to cry.   “I was knocked over by accident today on my way back to work,” you replied, the scene playing out in the back of your mind. “They, uh, were a bunch of criminals running from the Supers. I’m all cleaned up and patched up now though.”   Delicately, Simon skimmed his fingertips along the wrappings of your hands and forearms. His eyes were darting faster than usual to every inch of your arms.   “I’m sorry I could not have caught you today.”   “Mmhmm.” A smirk threatened to grow on your lips as you thought about the conclusion you came to earlier in the day. “Thank you for saving me today.”   “Did you really need those flowers after the day you had?” He inquired as you lead him over to the couch.   “Yes, but I will always need you more,” you smiled.   The pair of you sat comfortably on the couch before you pushed the topic on your mind.   “You’re not going to say it, are you?”   His nose scrunched in the slightest under his glasses. “I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean.”   “Mm,” you frowned at his face. Putting your palm up to cover his eyes, right in front of his glasses, he closed his eyes reflexively.   “What are you doing?”   “Testing a theory.” You said as you inspected his lips, chin, and jaw.   A smile tugged at his lips. “And that would be?”   You sighed, putting your hand to his shoulder, allowing him to look around more freely again. It had become obvious to you now that Simon was indeed Gazerbeam. His jaw, lips, and nose were the exact same. And how could you not recognize his smile or that voice you love so much.

  You figured that Simon was not going to tell you without any evidence or defense to your own side. So, you thought of a plan that you would sort out later. As for now, you would just settle for kissing him. And you knew for a fact that he definitely did not mind that at all.   Bringing your hands to his face again, you held him gently. Admiring his features and thinking of how kind and trustworthy he was. That, and how he could make your heart feel so warm and full.   He simply watched every little movement.   Slowly slipping off his glasses, in the off-chance that he wanted to keep them on, they were soon off of his face and in your hands. Setting the glasses aside on the table, you tenderly kissed his eyelids while his eyes were closed in his relaxation.   These moments were rare and treasured. Moments where the two of you could enjoy the quiet and each other’s company without a single other soul or incident to interfere.   Running your fingers through his hair, Simon basically melted at this point, and sank further into the couch as you both continued to kiss. And as his hands went along your waist and back, you forgot all about the previous events of the day.

Gazerbeam / Simon J. Paladino x Reader: Boring

Word Count: 342 Summary: Simon, a.k.a. Gazerbeam, asks the Reader if they find him boring and awaits their reply. Warnings/Notes: Very light angst, maybe. The Reader’s disbelief turns into reassurance and praise. Fluff. Established relationship.

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

  A bustling metropolis and an array of apartment buildings, and yet, a quiet night. It was not necessarily something rare to have at home, though enjoyable. The company that came with it, however, was a rarity some nights.   Usually the crime fighting, heroically super-powered and form fitting, suit wearing Gazerbeam, Simon sat beside you on the couch. He occupied himself with a book that he had been wanting to continue reading, but found it a little difficult to do so over the course of the past week. Some times he had quite a busy schedule. Both for superhero duties and work in general.

  “Love?” He asked, gaining your attention away from the grocery list you were writing currently. “Do you find me boring?”   You froze at the collection of words before your head nearly whipped to the side. You honestly could not believe your ears. Were you truly hearing such a question from your dear friend and partner?   “No,” you shook your head. “Of course not, Simon. Have you forgotten how many times you’ve made me laugh? Why would you think such a thing? Is this about your voice or… what you talk about from day to day? Because, quite frankly, you sound amazing to me.”   His eyebrows furrowed, hiding behind the rim of his glasses. “Amazing?” He asked in his curious surprise.   “Yes,” you smiled. “I…I didn’t want to overwhelm you right now by saying sexy. However, both are correct.”   Speechless, Simon set the book down on his lap. Looking around the room, there was no interest in his eyes at any object. Perhaps your words, two simple descriptors, really did boggle his mind.   As he placed a thoughtful hand to his chin, you giggled.   “See what I mean?” Reaching over, you took up his face gently into your hands. “I could always give you a new nickname, you know.”   Simon smiled, his gaze holding yours for nearly a full moment. “I think that would be hardly necessary.”   “All right,” you said in conclusion, pressing kisses along his face.

Check out my writing commission info here.

[ivorydragoness44]

That feeling when you finally finish a fanfiction that you started a while (years) ago and had fun doing so? It's great. It's really great 😄

Finally giving Gazerbeam some love 😆 Switching point of views was fun, brief but fun. Like, the Reader is minding their own business meanwhile Frozone, Mr. Incredible, and Gazerbeam are chasing down criminals. And then crash those two plots/stories together! Kinda literally, but the Reader is mostly unharmed, just a few scratches from the sidewalk. AND Frozone and Mr. Incredible being wingmen for Gazerbeam as subtly as they can. Even though Gazerbeam and the Reader are already dating, BUT Reader doesn't know that he's a Super!

Well...I just rambled on 🤣 but I really enjoyed this one and I hope that you'll enjoy reading the insert reader when I post it for my mini October Halloween event.

I mean...

Gazerbeam/Simon J. Paladino x Reader: Comfort

Word Count: 460

Summary: This takes place after the Supers were announced illegal. However, the Reader does not know that Simon was Gazerbeam

~~~~ ~~~~

It was a calm cool night. As ordinary as any other. You woke up and squinted at the time on the clock beside the bed. It was still far too dark outside to be anywhere near morning.

Simon woke up with a kick of his legs, making you jolt.

You felt Simon stir on the mattress. You peered over at his resting form to see him move to get out of bed, but stop.

He did not settle comfortably back down onto the mattress, he just laid there.

After a pause, you put a hand to his shoulder gently. “What’s wrong?” You asked, assuming that he had a bad dream.

“I thought I heard the phone ring,” he said in a low voice.

Moving yourself closer to him, you propped yourself up on your elbow, and in doing so, looked over his shoulder at him. You saw that his eyelids were squeezed shut and he had a fistful of the bedsheets in his hands.

Something was bothering him, but you were not sure if it was in an angry sort of way or sad.

He obviously knew that you were behind him, feeling your body warmth mingle with his.

You neither asked why nor said anything more.

So, you settled down right behind him. Wrapping an arm over him and up against his arm, you found his hand. It was still clenched, but not at all shaking; you smoothed your hand over his.

He took a breath, your arm moving up when he inhaled.

It felt as if it was just as relieving to you as it was to him.

After a few moments, Simon let go of his grip on the bed-sheet and moved to take your hand instead. His grip was gentle yet firm.

You were sure that he was not planning on letting you go just yet, especially by the way he gave your hand a squeeze as if thanking you for the comfort and understanding.

You loved that man of yours. He worked hard and was so passionate about superhero rights. So now that they were deemed illegal, he seemed more determined than ever. And you were in complete agreement.

If supers can help where others cannot, or do not, then let them. They were using their powers for good. Given, that there were a few super villains out there, what made anyone think that they would just stop because the supers were out of the picture?

You hoped that someday, soon, supers would be legal again. It was not a false sense of security, it was knowing that there were good people out there wanting and doing good deeds.

Pressing a kiss to his shoulder, you hoped that things would be even better tomorrow.

Gazerbeam/Simon J. Paladino x Reader: Puzzle Pieces

Word Count: ~1,747

Notes: Here, Simon and the Reader already know each other and are dating. The thing is, the Reader has no idea about his superhero persona. Also, I got on a roll with Gazerbeam insert Reader ideas the other month. It was insane and I felt like it came out of nowhere lol

~~~~

    Your absolutely new favorite fun activity to occupy your weekend had anything and everything to do with that boyfriend of yours, Simon J. Paladino. Did he usually have crazy hours? Oh yes. It was amazing how he always made time for you. So, finding yourself over at his apartment again was not unusual in the least.

    “I could only imagine what sort of sand castle we could make just by looking at how we’re putting together this puzzle,” you laughed beside him.

    “Because we had agreed to arrange the bordering pieces first?” Simon asked, adjusting his glasses as he looked over at you briefly.

    “Yes. And for the record, I think that we would need a deep moat for when we ever make a sand castle.”

    “Noted.”

    “That, and I’m sure you’d look great in a beach setting,” you said off-handedly. “Here, I think this piece goes over there.”

    Simon blinked, but said nothing about your comment, only thanking you for the puzzle piece and linking it with another.

    It was a random thought, or so you figured, that assembling a puzzle together would not only help with strategy, for the fun of it, but also teamwork. If you both were going to continue dating even more exclusively, it would be beneficial to understand one another at various levels. And so far, you had concluded that Simon did like his way of doing things. Or, at least, how you saw it, his ideas tended to be more of the logical options. It would be more off-putting if he had not considered anything that you had to say. Thankfully, he did. It made you smile even more when he concluded with any one of your ideas over his own. For the most part, you were finding that your thoughts and Simon’s either lined up together or were within the same orbit.

    “I want to say that this puzzle is easy,” you began, your eyes searching for a piece that would even remotely adhere to the shape and correct colors that you were looking for, “but there is so much of this color.”

    “What is it supposed to look like?”

    Pointing at the picture on the box, you said, “It’s mainly this color. But I think there’s at least a dot of the other right there.”

    “Ah, I see.”

    You watched as his eyes raced around each piece with the upmost seriousness.

    It was not surprising to you at how quickly he found it either. Pushing one piece aside, he grabbed ahold of the one hiding beneath it.

    “You’re keen eyesight is astounding,” you complimented as he placed it into your hand, his hand lingering a moment longer.

    “Thank you,” he smiled. “But, um…I think you didn’t see it because it wasn’t in plain sight.”

    “You’re very welcome,” you kissed his cheek, eliciting a wider smile from him that he could not hold back. Laughing quietly to yourself at the reaction of his, you gave his cheek another two kisses.

   “I-I’m sure you’ll have no problem finding the rest of them.” He said, sinking into your touch as you placed your hands on his shoulder.

    “Mmhmm,” you agreed.

    Of course you wanted to work on a puzzle with Simon, but you also wanted to get in at least a moment or two to show him your affection. So, it was when you softly kissed his ear then you stopped, lest you never return your attention back to the puzzle.

    Simon let out a small breath as he dropped another puzzle piece into place. “Uh, an-eh anytime you need water or anything, let me know. It’s no trouble at all.”

    “I’m fine right now, thank you,“ you replied, settling back down beside him. “Do you think we’ll be able to finish this puzzle today?”

    “It would seem that we might not, in regards to our current pace.”

    “That’s all right, I’m in no rush.”

    “I can see that.”

    Then, from another room in his apartment, a phone rang. You saw as his body went rigid. It was a demeanor that you were not familiar with in regards to Simon. He was almost always calm and collected no matter the situation.

    Simon cast a glance at you before he stood. “I’ll be right back,” he said, taking a few long strides out of the room.

    You did not question why he left the room to answer the phone when there was one on the end-table. But then you noticed it. The one in the room with you was silent the entire time. Peculiar.

    When Simon returned, he was wearing a coat.

    You stood. “Is everything all right?”

    “Yes,” he assured you as he approached. “I will be back as soon as I can.”

    You opened your mouth to ask why or even where he was going, but quickly decided against it. It just did not feel appropriate to ask, if only because he was in such a hurry. But knowing him, it was safe to assume it had something to do with a client or a case. And you knew how important his work was to both him and those that he helped.

    “Do you want me to leave?” You began to ask.

    “No. You can stay. Please. Continue the puzzle without me for a little while. Make yourself at home.” All the while his eyes were going all around your face and towards different points in the room. His eyes were moving faster than usual, making you think that this must be rather important.

    Gently, you grabbed ahold of his face and kissed him chastely on the lips. “Be careful.”

    Simon’s eyes stayed on you longer than on any given day, and you loved that. To have a moment like that no matter how fleeting with him as you looked into each other’s eyes.

    He looked away for a moment before returning his eyes to yours, he nodded. “I will.”

    A smile spread across your face. “Go on,” you whispered, releasing his face to push at his abdomen.

    He spun on his heel and headed toward the front door.

    “Be sure to lock this,” he instructed as he stepped out into the hall.

    “I will, see you soon,” you said as he closed the door between you.

    You proceeded to lock the door, but then leaned against it.

    Now what? You thought.

    A good minute or so had passed as you just continued to stand there looking into the space of the room. Both the kitchenette and the living space were all in view, and you were not exactly sure if you were comfortable being left alone in an apartment that was not yours. It was not as if it was your first time visiting. Or your second. Perhaps it was a good idea to pass the time by continuing the puzzle.

    Did you imagine hearing a sound coming from his bedroom even though you were clearly alone? Yes, oddly enough.

    Did you further organize the pieces from color to the style of the piece within it’s colored section? Yes, you did.

    Did you even remotely consider to leave the room to venture around the apartment aside from using the bathroom? No.

    Did you nearly jump out of your own skin when you heard the front door unlock, and hit the coffee table with your knee in the process? Regrettably, yes.

    Nearly half an hour later, Simon had finally returned. To be honest, he arrived back a lot sooner than you had expected. However, it was more of a surprise that he was now carrying a bag in one hand. A bag that made the room smell instantly amazing.

    “Sorry to keep you waiting,” Simon apologized, shutting the door behind him.

    You sprung up, ignoring the still throbbing pain in your knee. “You’re forgiven,” you said, kissing him more than he expected. “As long as you’re back in one piece.”

    “I brought dinner. I hope that is all right with you?”

    “My boyfriend’s back and he brought food? That is very much alright with me.”

    Simon smiled and you followed him over to the dining table.

    “I did try to get your favorites,” he said, setting the bag down on the table.

    “You spoil me.”

    “I do not think that I spoil you. I want you to enjoy the food as well.”

    First, he pulled an even smaller bag out.

    “Is that what I think it’s going to be?” You smirked as you waited for him to empty out the contents of the bags.

    “I think it was an obvious choice without going overboard.”

    And there it was. Dessert. A package of Reese’s.

    “You’re too adorable, Simon, and I love it.”

    “Would you mind helping taking the food out of the bag while I change out of this?”

    “No, go ahead,” you said, eagerly reaching into the bag.

    As he walked off toward his bedroom, you glanced at him. Did you give him a full once-over in a loving way? Maybe. There was one thing that you had never seen before, those slim boots of his. You had never seen him wear those out.

    Shrugging, you pulled out the few boxes of food and opened them up. The sight and scents made your mouth water. He definitely did not lie when he said about getting your favorite meal.

    “Can you read minds?” You asked as you heard him walk back into the room.

    He paused, his eyebrows furrowed in thought. “No, why would you ask such a thing?”

    “Because I was craving this,” you said, now sitting at the table as you poked your meal with a utensil.

    “That does not mean that I have the ability to read minds. Believe it or not, I do pay attention. Even at the smallest of things. Um…I quite enjoy seeing you smile. I would say it makes me happy. Or rather, more happy when I’m with you.”

    “Simon,” you practically melted in your seat.

    Standing, you wrapped your arms around him in a warm embrace that he hesitantly matched. “You are, without a doubt, the sweetest person in my life.”

    “I think you are giving me too much credit,” he said, resting his head on yours.

    “Not at all,” you nuzzled your head against his chest. “You’re perfect just the way you are.”

    It was all a step closer to those three little yet monumental words to be shared between the pair of you.
