#i cried when saira got with that man

[the-whispers-of-death]

So I did get asked to expand more on the version of Stone who has a daughter and I'm a man who jumps on the first opportunity he gets to talk about his different AUs (someone please let me know if you all want to know about the AU where Stone still gets lent to the 141 but was previously in a squad called The Tigers, I don't care that it would make my OCs' count be 10 OCs,)

Anyways, so as previously stated in the dilf!reader post, this version of Stone got pregnant at sixteen because that's when he got kicked out by his father. So he gets kicked out on his sixteenth birthday, in November, and so he's in North Carolina now and he's living on the streets. (This is obviously before he transitions, since he does that when he enlists in the U.S. Navy two years later.)

He luckily manages to get a spot in the local youth homeless shelter and he spent quite a while there, and that's how he met the other dad. They were both sixteen, both kicked out and struggling to survive. It's important to note that Stone had barely any sex education due to previously being isolated and home-schooled by his father, so that's how he ended up getting pregnant because he didn't know any better.

The boy who impregnates him leaves the youth shelter before Stone finds out that he's pregnant and they never meet up again, because Stone was like "Why tell him something that would change his entire worldview?" And originally, Stone plans on putting his daughter up for adoption when she's born, because at this point in time he's planning to enlist in the U.S. Navy when he will turn seventeen.

But then he sees his daughter on the ultrasound and he just can't give her up, and he's now living in a Catholic church because a priest had taken him in when a staff of the youth shelter told said priest that Stone had gotten pregnant. The priest promises that the church will help him raise the child and so Stone keeps his daughter.

Flash-forward about nine months and Stone gives birth to his daughter, who he names Saira after his mother because while she did abandon him, the very few memories he has of her are better than the numerous memories he has of his father. He'll never admit this to anyone but Saira, but he cried for the first time in years (and honestly the only time after that) when he held her tiny baby form in his arms.

Stone and Saira both spend her first year of life in the church, due to the fact that Stone can't enlist in the U.S. Navy at seventeen because of there being no record of him having any education. So he's not only taking care of a child, he's also on a program that will give him his education so he can enlist when he's eighteen.

We're just going to condense everything that happens after he gets enlisted in the U.S. Navy because that's sixteen years. Saira grows up like any military brat, always on bases and in foreign countries. Despite how her father grew up, Stone made sure to give her as much freedom as he could while also making sure she was safe. He was heavy on making sure she grew up differently than how he did, so while he couldn't really express his emotions well, she knew he loved her.

He learned how to ride a bike so he could then teach her how to, he filled his entire house with children's books when she was younger, so he could read with her and help her improve on her reading comprehension (he refused to let her potentially be bullied about not being smart). He was so soft with her, kissing every boo-boo she got (every soldier who saw him do that was jealous because they wanted to get the same treatment when they were injured but they instead got his roughness) and he made sure she never got touch-starved.

Also in this AU, Kali spends way more time with Stone since he's Auntie Ashok here (though Saira tries several times over the years to set up her father and Kali) and he's part of the reason Saira knows how to smile and laugh (because poor Stone, even in this AU he can't manage to figure out to smile). He was the cool and fun uncle, helping Stone with anything he could help with.

And by the time Stone gets lent to the 141, she's about to be seventeen, obviously able to follow Stone to where the SAS base the 141 works out of, staying with an old Marine friend Stone served with who has a daughter Saira's age while Stone works. She's a senior and about to go to prom, which scares Stone so much because where did the time go by???

2, 18, 22, and 28 for the RQG asks :D

2. oh gosh! i binged the podcast in winter, i think i got caught up somewhere around the bite marks special? one of the first erasing the line episodes i remember listening to when it came out was the one where the party starts to go into the garden of yerlick.

18. that's also SUPER difficult! i'm gonna go with worldbuilding wise, i LOVE the garden of yerlick! i wish we'd gotten to know more about it and what it was like before the blight. if we're going locations as small as specific buildings, the temple of poseidon in dover is up there! how do the clerics live inside the temples?? what do they do all day?? is the pond with the magic water just there for aesthetic or does it serve a purpose?? i have questions!

22. "ashes to ashes, funk to funky, now go off to join the celestial hunty!" and its outtakes counterpart "ashes to ashes, hope you weren't a cunt, now fuck off to the celestial hunt!". if we're going more serious i really like "it's been so long that you all speak latin in my dreams now". there's probably more i can't think of right now though

28. uhm?? all of them?? okay no but seriously. how can i pick? one of them is definitely when azu felt grizzop being there in the garden and he hops on her shoulders ;_; saira telling hamid that he doesn't always have to do everything to please his dad. zolf having the boat dream in paris. grizzop using paladin's sacrifice to save sasha. when hamid fireballs himself in rome. when zolf dives in after sasha on the channel. when sasha realises that brock is in mr. ceiling. "i forgive you, barret" and her whole speech about him being unimportant and just a man on the floor. apophis being nice to the party. everything about azu's and hamid's friendship. ok but actually the biggest one is probably when grizzop wakes up in the afterlife. to say i cried would be understating.

Dear Kunal sir I am Shreyashi, one of your biggest and craziest fan of yours. I don't know crazy word is suitable or not because I never done any crazy thing for my favourite hero or anyone. I really love every character you played. After so many years now I got a chance to see Remix. Now I'm watching the show. I love it. After Mohan Bhatnagar you came into our life as shaurya urmi sinha & Krishna Sikhawat. Though both characters came into our life for too short but it took place in our hearts. After this I always feel that now if you will back on screen, then you will be back with a bang, and you did it. You come back to our life as Mohit Naik Raikar. I am seriously speechless. From introduction to end you give justice to the character. Specially the breakdown scene in the last episode is mind blowing. I never think that someday Mohan Bhatnagar will somehow fade from my mind & heart and any other character took the place but yes now Mohit took the whole place of my heart & can't get over from him & I'm not complaining. A big congratulations for your debut in web series. I really love your eyes which speaks a lot & also your sharp nose & long messy hair. In onscreen when you cry, you made us cry. When you laugh you made us laugh. Your simplicity connect audience towards him. As Mohan says "simplicity me hi sundarta hay" Though this line said by Mohan but you in real life or reel life perfectly follow this. That's why we never feel that you act in a scene, it's so natural to us. Love you a lot. Your fan Shreyashi

First Time I saw you in Nenjam Pesuthey (NBTNMKK) I was really really really Obsessed with you... I don't know how to Express my words...Words can't describe my feelings for you...I hope Express my words well... Mohan Character was inspires me lots...Wowwww Your Acting and expressions killing us... You lived your character... Your Hard Work, Acting, Travelling, Photography, books Reading and Everything inspires me a lots... I leaned Many things from you...I love your personality, Simplicity, Calmness, humbleness, Childish Behaviour, Attitude and Everything...❤ You Impressed me With Your Magical Eyes - Wowwww Those Two Eyes are Express Many Words... 🙈You Messy Hairs - I just wanna to touch it... Your Sharp Nose Oops!!! Slanting Nose Love it😍 Your Magnetic Smile - That can help me Many Ways.. Your Body Language and Your Stylish Walk I Love it... Thank God for having a great person in the world...🙏 Whenever I feel like very Sad I just see your videos and photos.... It's just Cheer Me up well.. Because you are the person who kills all my pains and sorrow...You are My Pain killer of my all the problems...You are My Happiness...You are the Best...No One Can Ever Replace Your Place...You Having a Special Place in My Heart...❤ Love You...❤ I don't Know how much I love you...❤ Iam being Lucky to be Your Fan...❤ I just wanna to see you in big screen...Keep Rocking...😎 Stay Safe... kunalkarankapoorhugefan

Dear Kunal, Since I have been watching your serials, videos and interviews, I have realized many things about you from those and I really admire you for all those qualities💕.

Your lovely smile makes me want to smile.😍 The way you keep yourself busy with travelling💼, photography📷, reading📖 and music🎧, I too love doing all this.

Kunal is like an anaconda. He just surrounds us by his innocent gestures and then start to tighten up with his acting skills. He was one of the few actors who could perform any character in effortless manner. Nenjam pesuthey was my fav of his tv series. I would be happy if he could do a movie in tamil. There were many fans waiting for that moment (including me). Praveen De @crazyking_at_bluezone

Kunal is an expression king. He knows very well how to steal heart of the viewers.. He occupying full heart and our memories whenever we think about him some happiness surrounded us and make us smile... Sometimes his eyes become drug to forget everything and only thing about him... I like his nose very much and his hair eyebrows everything... Whenever he gets angry his eyes shrinks and his look so wow..😍😍😍😍His humor sense was outstanding... If I had an apportunity to meet him that's my most memorable day in my life... And I surely get a tight hug from him that's how much I love him... I wanted him to come back in any show... No one can replace his place in my heart memory phn and even my password... ❤❤Happy happy happy to my sweetheart❤❤❤❤❤... evlo per kunal apro vandhalum no one can replace his place in my heart memory phn and even my password ❤️❤️ kunal is an expression king ....he knows very well how to steal heart of the viewers...he occupying full heart and our memories whenever we think about him some happiness surrounded us and make us smile ....sometimes his eyes becomes drug to forget everything and only think about him _Dev @_devil_corpse

MY JOURNEY WITH KUNAL KARAN KAPOOR One day when I was watching one of our regional channel I came across a serial ‘MOUNAMELANOYI’ means ‘WHY THIS SILENCE DEAR’. I got attracted to the male character Mr.Mohan Bhatnagar. At that point of time I don’t know nothing about him even his original name. Then unfortunately due to unknown reasons the serial has been stopped in the midway. So I started searching for the serial in Hindi where I came across this great show of an unusual love story NBTNMKK. First I became a very big fan of Mohan. It’s through Mohan I came to Know about Kunal Karan Kapoor. A big thanks to Mohan who introduced me to KKK. Mohan taught me two things through his character. First is ‘Never give up’ and the second one is the unconditional and flawless love. I started watching all his other shows and his interviews with his co-star Akanksha Singh. Kunal is a versatile actor who has shown versatility in all his characters.I love his negative character as Angad Yadav with paan in his mouth. I loved Yudi in LRL. I fell in love with Madonna. He is sooo beautiful and lovely. And the best part is the suicide scene. I get goosebumps whenever I watch it. He has portrayed it sooo well.  

Kunal Karan Kapoor expressions are simple superb. He has a good talent Of expressing his feelings, emotions, anger and love with his eyes. It’s a God given talent where nobody can do it. I love Shaurya in DAK. Inspector Krishna Shekhawat in WAS Varun in Remix. Amrik Singh in RSB. Sukhi Singh in Maayka. Monty in MMDB. Lawyer Subhash in a Music album ADDA. As a deaf and mute parent in Pregakem AD, and he has done a voice over for the show Bhindi. I am also a big fan of his photography. He is an amazing photographer. I love him not only as an amazing and flawless actor but also as person. I love his respect towards women in his life. He is sooo humble, honest and down to earth.He has taken a long gap that I was desperately and eagerly waiting for his come back. He came like a roaring lion with a WEBSERIES called THE RAIKAR CASE as Mohit Naik Raikar. Now I am sooo emotionally attached to Mohit that gives tears in my eyes. Kunal has portrayed it sooo well with his expressions and his flawless acting.

On August 22nd 1982 a shining star was born who has changed my life and whom I lovingly call him Kunal Beta. Vadlapudi Latha

Kunal Karan Kapoor is the person who talks with eyes, rather than words.Whenever he is in certain character it doesn’t feel like he is acting. Everything looks soo real. Whenever he is acting happy/sad or crying or with any other co-stars, he is just perfect. His photography inspires me alot. How can anyone be soo perfect, it’s amazing...I wish to God, no evil eye wud ever bother you and you get whatever you wishes for. With lots and  lots of love. Neha

After nbt I have seen many other shows and movies... But the impact a good show has on you is quiet long lasting that I only celebrate mohan megha and their love for these many years... I've become such like that when people say my name immediately the nearby one addresses as Mohan meena(megha) mental 🤭 looks funny but it has that impact on me... I still look ahead for a bit of Mohan in all the males I happen to meet... I see him as a father, brother, friend, betterhalf, well-wisher and many more... And what else... I may not have met him but he is a part of my life in each and every phase of it... Secondly kunal is a step ahead of mohan... If I want a life partner like mohan I want a friend like kunal... He is such an inspiration for everyone... In the way he lives... Who lives a life of his dreams... Only very few... Other do a job and live a life of others choice...

Mr. Kunal Karan Kapoor... My friends and I became a huge huge fan of you after watching " Naa Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha " serial which was telecast in Tamil... There was not even a single day which went without speaking about you, during those school days. You captured our heart, SpiderMan❤️ Thank you so much for adding a charming chapter in my boring schoolhood. Wishing you all the happiness in the world. Wishing you a very happy birthday... With love, Aarthy @aarthy_chandran

Mr Kunal Karan Kapoor... I first saw him play Cadet Yudi Sahni in LRL and even though that has been his only show I watched him acting in...I knew from the first time that he was a very capable and amazing actor. The way he expresses through his eyes and tries to do justice to every role is commendable. I also saw him in the Raikar Case and can absolutely say he is a brilliant actor. His poise, his dialogue delivery, his ability to breath life into the characters he plays his remarkable. Yudi although was not the main focus on LRL...one can't help but smile at his impish charms and his childlike antics and innocence which was so precious and pure. His character development in Lrl from a determined yet lost young man to a confident, focused solider is worth mentioning. Yudi played by KKK really comes in his own by the end of lrl season 1. Also in real life Kunal sir seems a very genuine, polite, well mannered and courteous man ...all such admirable and precious qualities..I heard in an iv of Rajeev Khandelwal sir that Kunal sir used to have alot of fun with other on lrl sets and was a prankster. To sum up I'd say...I would love to watch of all his acting as he is one of the promising actors of our generation✨Yudi was definitely one of the most endearing and charming characters i saw on itv all thanks to Kunal sir. Hope he keeps doing good work like he does😀✨Also his comic timing in lrl was off the charts...so good😀😁...he was so entertaining and hilarious as " Madonna" and he never looked prettier😅😁🤣but jokes aside he rightfully deserves all the praise for his acting ability and For being the charismatic and mysterious gentleman he is😊 Amisha @leftrightleftfanpage

Hai Kunal sir. I'm your biggest fan from TamilNadu. I like your acting in NenjamPesuthe. It was so cute as like you. You are an expression king.please Comeback...My heart is getting stealed while watching you ...everything u have was outstanding acting especially anger and naughtiness makes me to become an addict...I wish u have a long life and be happy forever and ever ...continued your process until everyone become tired of describing you ...I wish to see you in front of my eyes in the birthday eve ...once visit tamilnadu and announce the good news soon we were eagerly waiting for that day to take selfie with you ,forget to go home some kinds of dreams to be fulfilled when u visit tamilnadu...Your eyes speaks more than your voice ...depth in your acting makes everyone to fall in love with easily... ❤_ nivetha_N @nivetha_nagendiren)

As we are coming close to celebrate the birthday of our Kunal Karan Kapoor let me talk about the Character Cadet Yadhuvansh Sahni he played in the show LEFT RIGHT LEFT. It’s one of my favourite character that he gave reel life. This character has his weakness. It’s not that YUDI did not know his weakness but it was difficult for him to accept them. He wanted to change become like others and compared himself to others and felt inferior. But the day he accepted his weakness his life changed. He could make those his strength. My favourite scene was his talk with Shalini after he tries to commit suicide. One could see the confidence in him. This character taught me that it’s important to accepts one’s weakness and one can convert them into strength. CADET YUDI THAUGHT ME THAT  IT’S IMPORTANT THAT YOU FIRST ACCEPT YOURSELVES THE WAY YOU ARE. THANK YOU ROCKSTAR KUNAL KARAN KAPOOR FOR BRINGING YUDI INTO OUR LIVES AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN ADVANCE. Belicia

First of all ..i thank to kunal ..bcoz he give more friends 🤗🤗 and they are support my drawings ...my first ever crush is kunal ..it may so many serial actors here but i still luv only kunal ji 😘😘 ...and his acting is mesmerizing still i can't forget nbtnmkk ...one of my Fav character is mohan ..and he is very romantic and lovable person..please stay with us and my more blessings to u for lift in your life above and above ...and last you are my ever ever ever crush in my life ..i can't give your place for anyone 😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘 - Abarna

By the side of a road, just outside Buenos Aires, Argentina

A short prequel fic to Carmen Sandiego (2019) about how VILE found Black Sheep and brought her to the island. I fully expect this to get proven wrong later in the series but it was fun to think about and I’d love any comments :D

[SPOILERS FOR THE CARMEN SANDIEGO FINALE / 1.7K WORDS / TW: MURDER REFERENCE]

[Note: I’m British so a few words may be different. ‘Tarmac’ = ‘Asphalt’ / ‘Mobile phone’ = ‘Cellphone’ / ‘Dummy’ = ‘Pacifier’]

The man known as Shadow-san would have been a strange sight: a Japanese man dressed in a traditional kimono and hakama walking the flat stretches of grass and road outside Buenos Aires. Except, tonight, there were no witnesses left.

He continued down the dusty tarmac, sweat beading his forehead from both exertion and the heat. He took a mobile phone from his trouser pocket and dialled.

“Mission completed.”

The voice on the other end, his colleague, gave a satisfied chuckle. “Excellent. This should insure VILE’s efforts in Argentina for some time. Proceed to the cleaners for pick-up. You can debrief us once you’re on the island.”

Shadow-san grunted in affirmation. He hung up and rested his hand on the katana sheathed at his side as he walked. He would have it cleaned when he returned. There were more efficient ways to wipe out a collection of houses – VILE had armies of operatives and warehouses of weapons for such a task – yet certain occasions required personal intervention.

A plane piloted by VILE’s cleaners waited for Shadow-san a mile in the distance. However, a scream pierced the evening air before he could reach it. He snapped into a defensive position. Wind ran through his ponytail but the roads were empty so the sound carried without interference.

He grabbed his sword’s handle. His eyes darted around but he saw no-one. As the sound continued, Shadow-san recognised it as a child’s cry. He bared his every sense for a trap then followed it to the roadside shrubbery. In the dry grass, something swaddled in woven blankets kicked and wailed.

He crouched low. He pulled back the blankets and found a baby girl inside them. She had tufts of wavy brown hair, tanned skin, and she’d screwed up her face in constant screaming. A plastic dummy had fallen out of her mouth but she did not seem injured. Shadow-san searched the rest of the blankets. He found no note or identification, just a full bottle she could not use and a set of empty Russian nesting dolls.

A familiar frown etched into Shadow-san’s face. He stood and scanned the area once again. While nearing the country’s capital, this area of countryside was sparse, with little civilisation for several square miles. As he looked around, he faced the way he had come. Smoke still trailed upwards into the air. The closest habitation was no use to them.

The baby flailed her small, weak arms at the blankets. She cried without stop. Even if she survived tonight in the open, she would not survive the next. With her parents likely dead, Shadow-san doubted anyone would find her before then. She would die from exposure, starvation, or the wild animals in the area.

Shadow-san eyes didn’t move from the baby. He stood as if carved from stone. His hands were not bloodless, both indirectly or directly. Meanwhile, his deadline to leave Argentina pressed into him like a chain lead. However, the child was helpless. Even he found himself unable to turn his back on her.

Shadow-san had nowhere else to take the baby but to VILE island. He coaxed the dummy back into her mouth, wrapped her up in the blanket, and took both her and her things in his arms before then continuing to the waiting plane. He and the other VILE faculty members would find somewhere to relocate her.

VILE had access to technology beyond any of the world’s public and most of the world’s militaries, largely in part to the work of Dr Saira Bellum – another of VILE’s five faculty members. The absolute earmuffs she’d invented allowed the baby to sleep past the roaring of the plane’s engines and the plane itself arrived in record time. The cleaners didn’t comment to Shadow-san directly about the baby in his arms and Shadow-san didn’t invite them to as he stepped out onto the tropical island of VILE’s headquarters and academy.

The sky was black and hot at night. Artificial hills shielded the main grounds from outside view and palm trees and strip lights circled the large, eclectic building in the centre. Balancing the baby and its things in his one hand, Shadow-san took his phone.

“Professor Maelstrom, alert the other faculty members of a meeting in the faculty room. I am ready for debrief,” he said as he approached the main doors. It was past curfew for their student operatives so he met a welcome lack of other people inside. With one look at his face, all security posts let him pass without stop.

The VILE faculty room was a large room with its grandeur hardened by metal adornments and fluorescent lights meant to make any face seem unearthly. A green carpet emblazoned with the VILE insignia led to a raised table where Shadow-san’s four colleagues waited: Coach Brunt, who surpassed the size and strength of a bear; Professor Maelstrom, a calculating former Doctor of Psychology; Countess Cleo, a regal collector of all things valuable; and Dr Bellum, who held inside her head countless inventions capable of destroying cities.

From the USA, Norway, Egypt, and Pakistan respectively as well as Japan, each faculty member had the command of thousands within their personal syndicates. Combined, they had created an organisation capable of bending the world to its whim from within the shadows.

Whenever the five of them wished to talk amongst themselves, their long straight table collapsed into a V-shape so they could sit face to face. Bellum busied herself with a portable screen. Meanwhile, Brunt, Maelstrom, and Cleo conversed. Shadow-san entered and they turned. Maelstrom laced his fingers.

“Shadow-san, finally. How is the situation with our opposition in Argentina?”

“They’ve been dealt with,” Shadow-san said. “I eliminated the ringleader and killed everyone else in their base of operations. The buildings themselves are destroyed and our message has been left to anyone in their organisation who was not there.”

“Is that…a baby?” Cleo backed up in her chair, waving her hand at the blanket in Shadow-san’s arms.

“Yes.” Shadow-san lowered her onto the floor.

Ripples of shock and intrigue rippled through his colleagues. They wheeled their chairs to get a better look at the sleeping child on the floor.

“Why in the world did you return with a baby?” Cleo demanded.

Brunt smirked and rested her chin on her fist. “I didn’t take you for the father type.”

“I’m not,” Shadow-san said, glaring. “I found this child abandoned on the side of the road without any explanation or identification, only these Russian nesting dolls.” He took the dolls from the blankets and laid them on the floor as well for the faculty to see. If the dolls had a significance, it hadn’t made itself apparent. “It would have died if I had left it so I brought it here for us to relocate.”

Maelstrom’s pale lips twisted into a smile. “You found a child hidden away outside the houses you had just razed. You don’t need my doctorate to deduce what happened, Shadow-san. Surely, the irony is not lost on you. You return from a mission to kill with a life to save…Of course, I’m not suggesting we do anything to it now,” he chuckled, eyeing the baby. “A thousand deaths is a statistic. A single death, however, is a great tragedy.”

Shadow-san remained stone-faced. A silence fell over the room, each of them weighing the options. Cleo wore her disapproval and incredulity unabashedly. The others’ faces were less clear.

Brunt leant back in her chair. “We’ve got plenty of room on VILE island.”

“What? You can’t be seriously suggesting we house this child.” Cleo shook her head. Shadow-san thought similarly. “Childcare goes far beyond my role as faculty.”

Brunt laughed at her. “Aren’t we all teachers?”

“Of adults, all of whom are fully capable of speaking and” – Cleo wrinkled her nose – “taking care of themselves.”

“Nobody here’s suggesting putting you on diaper duty,” said Brunt. “How many billions have we got between us again? We could have it on the island without any of us having to worry about it. I’m willing to make the arrangements.”

“What an interesting experiment this could be,” Maelstrom mused. “The psychological effects of a child growing up on an island of thieves alone is something I’d be curious to study.”

Bellum spun around in her chair, her eyes still on her screen. “I can certainly see the benefits of having a child nearby for my experiments and it would be a unique future operative for the academy.”

Cleo straightened her already immaculate posture. “As long as I don’t personally have to deal with the child, it is of little import. What would you suggest? If your plan is to raise the child adjacent to the academy, would you give it the same ‘Valuable Imports, Lavish Exports’ front as the rest of our students?”

“It would be wise to have it believe the same as those on the campus,” Maelstrom said.

“Enough of this ‘it’ talk. Let’s decide a name for ‘em.” Brunt walked over and took the baby in her massive arms.

“She had no identification,” said Shadow-san.

“That doesn’t matter. VILE’s rule is first names or codenames only. Ain’t that right, Shadow-san?” Brunt bounced the baby in her arms. The baby babbled. “She’s a lost little lamb,” Brunt crooned.

“Is that your suggestion for her codename? It doesn’t exactly inspire fear,” said Maelstrom.

Bellum swiped from page to page on her portable screen. “Since she is of Argentinian origin, we could give her a Spanish translation: ‘El Cordero’.”

“Or some variant of ‘sheep’?” Cleo suggested.

Brunt watched the baby’s face and smiled. “Black Sheep. After all, she isn’t like the rest of her family now,” she said with a cruel humour.

Shadow-san’s frown deepened. While he couldn’t argue he was unaccustomed to it, he didn’t indulge in their violence like some members of their faculty. He hid the change in expression.

Maelstrom addressed the faculty. “This was an unexpected course of events. I ask in the future we limit our compassion to this one instance. We can’t take in every orphan we come across. However,” – he glanced around  – “all in favour of housing Black Sheep here on VILE island?”

Everyone raised their hand.

Two new padawans

It all started when they had landed on Tatooine. Blue led the way to a nearby village when he saw a twi'lek woman, she was looking away and dropped something on accident. Being the polite person he was he moved to pick up the item before he was grabbed by the scruff, and Tarragon hoisted him up.

" what are you doing?"

' she dropped something."

" who?"

" that lady over there?"

" blue there's no one there."

Blue squirmed out of his grip and lifted the lost object only for it to disappear from his palm. He blinked then looked around, the twi'lek towered over him and pointed towards the desert.

" go. Now."

He looked towards the sand, he could practically feel the heat radiating through him already.

" why?"

" Go. Now." She hissed and advanced towards him before disappearing.

He backed into Tarragon who was shaking his head, " ... Because I think we need to get some food or water in you before you get heat stroke."

Blue hummed nonchalantly, not really paying attention, " you know what sounds good? A nice desert walk. You know get all that sand in your boots, fight a jawa and not get murdered by sand people?"

" that sounds terrible are you alright?"

"I gotta go out there."

" no you don't."

Tarragon set his hand on his forehead, " you feel warm"

" we're in the karking desert you Dikut of course I'm warm. Look let's divide and conquer, you and Robin go get the food and supplies, I'll go wander around a bit."

" no. I'm taking you inside a canteena."

" I'm fine!"

Tarragon dragged him inside as Robin panted heavily behind them, the former commander led them to a booth and plopped them both down into it. He pointed to Robin," don't let him leave"

Robin nodded and tugged at his shirt collar trying to get circulation, the heat was practically killing him. Tarragon looked behind him towards the two of them, Blue leaned back and gave a sarcastic wave.

The moment his back was turned away blue looked to Robin, " I'll meet you at recovery."

" wait don't-"

He promptly sprinted out, ignoring his wounded leg, night was beginning to fall and a feeling of dread spread through him. He continued his pace out into the desert, the woman appeared next to him accompanied by a dathomirian man.

" run."

" Faster."

He sped up his pace, he didn't know what he was looking for but it felt right. He continued his running until he found what he was looking for, a rock. He raised his saber and ignited it, violet light spread across the rock formation revealing deep cravasses and small tunnels.

" hello?" He called out and jumped at his own echo roaring back at him. ' and that's how you get murdered and eaten by sand people...' he grimaced at the thought and circled around the rock.

" come on I know there's something here the force just doesn't decide ' hey you know what would be funny-'."

" excuse me-"

Blue spun around with a loud screech that would make a wookie jealous, he quickly got into a defensive position to find two younglings. A Ssi-ruu and nautolan, both looked ragged, sun burnt and thirsty. Blue dropped his position, " oh goodness you poor babies."

" babies?"

" have you seen our masters?"

Blue looked above at the other rocks where the phantoms stood, both nodded to him then faded. He gulped and looked back to the kids, he bent down to their level.

" I... Did. They told me where to find you." It wasn't a lie, not technically, " why did they leave you here?"

The nautolan bit her lip, " our clones attacked us... Master hijàn And Saira saved us and put us in these caves."

" but we're safe if you're here right?"

" Yesh..." Blue hissed between his teeth, and quickly looked around him, he swore he saw motion in the distance as the sky faded to violet. He reignited his sabers allowing them to illuminate his face, the younglings tilted their heads.

" my name is-"

He was inturupted by a scream, he spun to face his opponent, unprepared to be face to face with a massive whomp rat, several started to circle himself and the padawans. Blue scooped up the younglings and side stepped two of the rodents he carefully set one on his shoulder and held the other on his front.

" Turn on your light sabers, don't hit me or eachother! Face your sabers out infront and back."

The duo both ignited their sabers and did as ordered, blue flicked both of his on as well and took off running. Both padawans cried out as the rodents sprang towards them only to be burned by their guard, blue grimaced as his legs trembled from the added weight as he defended and raced to recovery on the outskirts of mos eisley. Rats leapt towards them only to be burned or slain, quickly learning they would not get through

" master they're stopping!"

" oh thank the maker, don't stop defending!"

The duo continued their defense as blue slid towards recovery, Tarragon leaned on the door to the ship looking ready to kill.

" Oh no!"

" They took your ship!"

The younglings squirmed and yanked blue down, lightsabers turned off and knocking blue over. He hit the ground with a soft grunt and felt himself be pushed forward. Tarragon tilted his head, " those better not be stray's."

Blue blinked, " Not technically." He scratched his hair.

Tarragon raised his only brow, " Not technically?"

The little ones peeked their heads around blue, Tarragon bent down, " oh I see them now."

The duo cowered behind blue, he gently turned to them, " Hey it's okay, Tarragon won't hurt you he's a good guy! he's my little brother" Blue soothed and punched Tarragon's shoulder.

The two younglings slowly crept out, tarragon gave a lopsided grin and offering his hand out, " Like he said my name's Tarragon. What are your names?"

The nautolan grabbed his hand, " I'm kallah." Tarragon hummed. The Ssi-ruu quickly copied her, "My name is Migi."

" it's a pleasure to meet you Kallah and Migi. Let's get you into a pool you feel dried out Kallah."

" thank you."

Tarragon scooped her up and quickly walked into zero. Migi limped after her, Blue quickly stopped him.

" let's get that limp fixed before you hurt yourself more." He carefully scooped him up.

" we never got your name"

" it's Blueberry, Blue for short."

" That's a weird name why did they name you that?"

" I chose the berry part, the blue is because my brothers were unoriginal and the moment we learned colors." Blue trailed off, it was better to leave it at that. He didn't dare think about if rex or any of the other CC's were alive.

Blue shook his head out and quickly jogged in, closing the doors not wanting any uninvited guests, he carried Migi into the medbay and set him down. Now that blue could actually see the kid his heart dropped, the little one was dirty and scratched from the rocks, green skin tainted with bright blistering burns from the sun. Blue bent down and lifted his foot.

" Tell me when it hurts okay?" He pushed around Migi yelped as blue put more pressure on his heel, "right here?"

" mm hmm."

Blue clicked his tongue and grabbed a splint and some wraps.

" okay Migi, I'm going to make it better but first let's get you cleaned up."

Migi hopped into the shower and sighed as water ran over his back, blue turned away to give him privacy and gathered up a towel.

" I'm ready."

Blue tossed a towel to him then pulled out some burn ointment, quickly helping him apply said ointment then quickly wrapping his foot in a modified brace.

" did you study medicine in the temple?"

" I studied on kamino for a while, I wanted to be a medic when I was a cadet."

" you talk weird."

Blue snorted, " no you talk weird I speak normal." He teased and set Migi on the floor, " let's go check on Kallah."

" Are the clones going to hurt us?"

" no? I mean if we were wouldn't we do it already?"

Migi looked puzzled but didn't say anything blue led him towards the physical recovery room was located not far from the sealed off barracks. Tarragon was sitting on a chair with Robin hovering next to him and Whiskers across the pool from them, Kallah lounged in the water, absorbing as much water as she could.

" Kallah!"

She rolled over and pulled herself up as Migi raced to her at the edge of the pool.

" don't get wet, soggy braces are no fun."

Blue glanced up at Whiskers, the latter scowls down at him and gestures towards the door. Blue gulped and stood up straight, " I trust you can handle them?"

" I can do that."

" be nice. They don't trust us."

" I'll try and be less scary." Tarragon said dryly.

Blue nodded and followed the medic out, the moment they were out of the room Whiskers smacked the back of blue's head.

" What the hell were you thinking?! Running into the desert with no food, no water, at night?!"

" it could have gone worse, I saw two Jedi who guided me to the padawans and... Oh by the maker Whiskers," Blue rubbed his eyes and let out a sad sniffle , " they were so scared... They reminded me of buzz and DK. Two little cadets booted off kamino too early. They're away from their masters too early whiskers. I can't just leave them alone to die..." Blue started to tear up, " By the maker I couldn't do it. I could never leave a kid alone like that. They shouldn't have been alone. I should've been faster getting to them."

Whiskers softened, " Blue you just barely found them you didn't know they were out there."

Blue gave a weak nod then released a small chuckle that dissolved into sobbing, " I'm sorry I shouldn't blame myself."

Whiskers pulled Blue into a hug with a soft sigh, " oh blue."

Blues heart clenched, it had been doing that a lot lately, Ever sense he had touched the crystals and Tha'hali visited him it was like something was placed inside him. Every so often it would clench then overwhelming sadness would hit him full force, some times worse than others, sometimes it was a hollow cold feeling then burning rage sprang from that. He hated to admit that he was having mood swings from it but he was starting to get it under control.

The fear as he found the two padawans abandoned in the desert had spiked his own rage, anger towards himself at the time and anger at his brothers. He should have been faster, what if he had waited? The guilt tugged at his heart.

" I'm-I'm sorry Whiskers..." Blue tried to pull away from Whiskers only to be pulled back.

" you're okay."

" it hurts."

" I know blue."

" I'm broken again aren't I? Tha'hali isn't here to fix me this time." Blue said quietly, Whiskers scratched blues head.

" you aren't broken."

" I don't know what to do Whiskers, I feel broken. We're running out of credits and there's no where safe to go."

Whiskers rubbed his hand down blues back, " what do you think we should do?"

Blue bit his lip and rubbed his eyes, " get those kids a good place to sleep for the night."

" good start."

Blue gently pulled away from Whiskers and reached into a cupboard for a pump and a pair of hammock's that he quickly tied up, he went back to retrieve the padawans. As he stepped in Tarragon pushed him back out.

" what the fek Tarragon?!"

" they think you're a Jedi."

Blue blinked, " I'm sorry what."

" they're referring to you as master blueberry."

" I dislike that. I'll go tell them-"

" Don't. Don't tell them anything. They're terrified of us I can see it in their eyes. You need to stay a Jedi master."

" if I lie this will destroy the kids in the future."

" if you don't lie now they'll never trust us."

Blue bit his lip tarragon copied him, " Damned if you do damned if you don't what's the plan boss?"

Blue ran his hands down his hair then sighed, " I'm going to keep it to half truths."

He stepped inside to find the padawans curled up together asleep, blue carefully scooped Kallah up, tarragon took Migi. The duo set them into the hammock's. Blue ran his hands through his hair again as he stepped out with tarragon.

" Tha'hali had better give me some Jedi insight because I have no idea what I'm doing."

Tarragon snorted, " well let's keep going at it. We'll figure it out"

Blue gave a nod then went to his room, he definitely needed a good night's sleep.

Metal clattered against the concrete floor. Donna’s eyelids fluttered somewhere between open and closed as she faltered on the edge of consciousness. 

“I’ll... kill... you...” She breathed the words, her head lulling from one side to another between each one before she finally gave in to the pain and tears spilled over her eyes. Her head slumped forward as her body hung from the chains holding her wrists to the wall.

“I can’t believe we still haven’t fucking found her.” Dean slammed his glass down onto the table in the motel room.

“Dean, relax.” Sam jumped at the sound, yawning as he pulled away from his computer. Sam’s back popped twice as he leaned back on the chair. 

“Relax? Sam, Donna has been missing for four days. Do you know what that means?” Dean stood up and started pacing. “It means our chances of finding her are getting slimmer and slimmer. It means the chances of her being - of her-” Dean couldn’t even finish the sentence. He couldn’t stand the thought that he’d put Donna in so much danger that she could be dead.

“You’re not going to be able to think straight if you don’t take a breath, Dean.” Sam pushed away from the table and moved toward the bed. “It’s almost four in the morning. Get a couple hours and we’ll start up again when we wake up.”

Dean grumbled something and poured himself another glass of whiskey, finishing off the bottle. He threw back what was left and set the bottle and the glass down on the table, then fell onto his back onto the mattress. “Yeah, sure. When we wake up.”

“Oh good.” The demon, whose name Donna had come to learn was Eligos, hissed at her. “You’re awake.”

“Fuck you.” Donna spat at him. 

He cackled and slid the edge of a knife along her forearm. Donna cried out in agony and clenched her hand into a fist as she cried Dean’s name.

“Oh, that’s who we’re calling for help these days?” Eligos scoffed. “I haven’t heard the name of a Winchester since - well, since I found out about Azazel’s deal with ol’ Johnny. You think your Winchester boy will come running to your rescue and save the day?”

“You have no idea.” Donna managed a smile, showing her bloodied teeth through swollen and split lips. “You have no idea who Dean Winchester is. No idea what he’ll do to you. He killed Azazel, you know.” Her smile grew as Eligos became stunned. “You heard me. Dean Winchester killed your precious Yellow Eyes.”

Eligos grabbed Donna’s hair, twisting his wrist and ripping it from the follicles. “How do you know all this, you dumb bitch?”

Donna choked back a whimper, regaining her composure quickly as she grit her teeth and looked up into the black eyes of her tormenter. “I know, because he’s Dean fucking Winchester.”

“Dean.” Sam’s eyes widened as he scrolled through his browser. “Dean!” He threw a granola bar at his brother. Dean let out a groan as Sam scoffed and brushed him off. “Get up, Dean. I think I found something.”

Dean sprung to his feet and hovered over Sam’s left shoulder. “Is it her? Where? How?” Dean spat the questions.

“Breathe.” Sam glanced back at him. “I don’t know if it’s her for sure, but there have been three people missing in Rochester, Minnesota for almost a week. No one has gone missing there since 1997, and now all of a sudden, three of them. It could be something else, but it seems a little weird that it would be so clo-”

“Let’s go.” Dean slammed Sam’s laptop shut and ran to pull on his boots. “Let’s go, now.” He was out the door and in the Impala before Sam could turn and stand from his seat. 

Sam’s quick to step into his shoes and grab his bag, heading to the car before Dean had the chance to blow the horn. Dean’s hand was hovering over the middle of the steering wheel as Sam threw the door open and climbed inside. 

“Chill, dude.” Sam huffed, tossing the duffel bags into the back seat. 

“We don’t have time for chill, Sammy.” Dean reminded him. “Donna’s out there, and we still have time. We can still save her.”

Sam checked into the motel while Dean searched for the local police department once they got to Rochester. The station wasn’t far from the motel, and Dean had his fed suit on within minutes of parking the Impala in the motel’s lot. Gravel flew off the asphalt as he squealed the tires and whipped the car onto the street. 

“She’s a sheriff, from Stillwater.” Dean showed the officer Donna’s picture. “Real spunky, always happy.” He couldn’t resist the way his lip turned up slightly at the thought of her.

“Haven’t seen her.” The man shrugged. 

“Well, if you do...” Dean flicked a business card between his index and middle fingers. “Number’s on the bottom of the card.”

“Yeah, sure.” The officer raised a dismissive brow and gave a single nod.

Dean turned and walked toward the door. “Dickwad.” He grumbled.

“If she’s here, we’ll find her.” Sam tried to force a reassuring smile, and while he was hoping for the best for Donna, somewhere in the back of his mind, he also knew he had to be realistic. It’d been almost a week since they’d lost her, and the face that no one had seen her was just another sign pointing to bad. Sam had to stay hopeful - for Dean.

“We’ve looked everywhere, Sam!” Dean shouted in exasperation.

“You can’t give up yet. We’ve been here for a day. We haven’t looked everywhere, we’ve looked everywhere we’ve thought of so far.” Sam corrected. 

“Fine. Then we go out now and we keep looking.” Dean reasoned.

“You’ve had a fucking fifth of whiskey. You’re not going anywhere.” Sam reached across the table between the beds and grabbed the keys before Dean had the chance. 

“Give ‘em here, Sam.” Dean extended his hand, palm up. 

“No one is going anywhere. We’ll pick up again tomorrow morning.” Sam shook his head adamantly. 

“We can’t fucking wait until tomorrow morning.” Dean spat. “Donna needs us, man.”

“I’m driving, you hear me?” Sam stood and pinched the bridge of his nose.

“I don’t care, we need to keep looking.” Dean agreed, pulling on his jacket and opening the door. “Donna needs us.”

The Impala swerved slightly as Sam’s eyes closed for slightly longer than a blink. Dean smacked Sam’s upper arm with the back of his hand. 

“Pull it together.” Dean grunted, fighting the bags under his eyes pulling him into drowsiness.

“Where are we even going?” Sam sighed. 

“There’s one more place. I looked into it. Used to be a hardware store.” Dean pulled his GPS up on his phone. “It’s not far, just another couple minutes.”

Sam nodded and pushed his foot down on the accelerator, urging the black car farther into the night.

Eligos was gone, and had been for - how long? - Donna couldn’t remember. Time held no place for her, she had no way of knowing when the sun was up or down, no clock, no watch. The passage of time seemed impossible to track in a windowless space.

Her head hung low as she tried her best to remain still, keeping the pain mostly at bay. When she heard the low rumble creeping closer, though, her head perked up, her neck pulling faster than she realized when she whipped her face toward the noise. She let out a pained gasp and winced, slowly relaxing the muscles again.

Donna continued to listen to the sound, moving closer and closer, and she swore it was so familiar to her.

“Dean.” She breathed. Tears pricked in her eyes and her chest heaved with her relief. Donna gasped and exhaled it in the form of a sob. The engine cut and Donna’s breath grew shakier with anticipation. She heard thudding footsteps come toward her, so she listened more carefully. One, two-three, four. Two sets of boots.

The fluorescent lights above her flicked to life and she heard the unmistakable cock of a gun. The barrel peeked around the corner before the man holding it. 

“Dean.” She repeated weakly. Her voice broke in the single syllable of his name, and the second their eyes met, Donna crumbled. Her body gave under its own weight and sobs shook her chest.

Dean shoved his gun into Sam’s chest and ran to Donna. He braced Donna’s body against his and reached up with one hand, picking at the lock expertly. “I’ve got ya, I’ve got ya.” He assured her, tightening his arm around her waist. The metal cuffs around her wrists clicked open with a rusty creak and she fell forward. Dean brought his other arm down to hold her, cradling her against his chest as his hand smoothed over her hair. “It’s okay. I’ve got you.”

Jannat Khan: About Mohit's character i would say it's very different from other His layered personality make him different he has so many secrets in ownself And his issues with his father and he neglected him always his mother was with him But she is with him or she is controlling him Everything was superb and his acting and performance is commendable and Flawless hats off kunal Love you Keep Shining always 👏👌👏👌👏👌❤️❤️❤️ #Unconditionallove #Loveandrespect

Shweta Deshpande: Kunal you were fantastic as Mohit Naik Raikar. My heart ached out for Mohit as he opened up to his baba. I am very thrilled to see that expressions and emotions are your strongest suit. You are the Best! All the very best for all your endeavors, I would very gladly say Kunal you are back with a bang as Mohit with your Midas touch. Love you loads.

Ruchi Gupta: He was lucky to work with all those super actors.. I wish it should open new doors for him.. Only one thing I felt, ki is level ka star and is level ka talent hoke he still getting small role, the other actors of his time period r getting lead roles in big web series.. But still this opportunity was not at all bad and he got to work with prominent actors with strong story plot.. This is very important.. All the episodes were very interestingly and intelligently made to build up the suspense.. I thoroughly enjoyed🤗😄I m taking it as a life changing opportunity for Kunal as I didn't felt disappointed at all because he was flawless in his acting.. Wishing him lots of best wishes and good luck for his future ventures😄😄🤗

Vadlapudi Latha: What an amazing, fascinating and brilliant performance by Kunal beta as Mohit!! Kunal has come back as an explosion with a power packed performance as Mohit. He knows how to lock the audience with his expressive eyes. I loved his brilliant expression of anger and frustration when he is being neglected and looked down upon by his own family. And I loved the scene where his Dad comes to his room and confesses to him and the emotions shown by Kunal was sooo real that made me cry. Kudos for his outstanding and flawless performance 👏👏👏👏👏. The makers of the web series ‘The Raikar case’ did an excellent job by selecting a great talented actor Kunal Karan Kapoor as Mohit Naik Raikar. Hope to see more of Mohit In season 2. I am missing his Leo 🦁tattoo. Love you Kunal beta. Always stay blessed.😘😘😘😘

Saira: Kunal Karan Kapoor as Mohit Naik Raikar in "The Raikar Case " did a Marvellous job.In last episode, He is one actor who makes My Heart restless when He cried. I can't see him in Pain... even though I know it's a series and He is just acting. He makes it look So real that one Can't help but feel the Pain of His Character and Cry with Him. Kunal what a "EXCEPTIONALLY GREAT ARTIST" YOU Are ❤👏👏

Priyark31: The Raikar Case is the first web series I've watched and it is Kunal's first web series too, so I feel very happy about it. The role of Mohit was a very essential one, as, though the character wasn't focussed on much, it was central to the storyline. Kunal has brilliantly given justice to this role. I really loved the scene between father and son, when Yashwant and Mohit were shown emotionally connecting for the first time. The regret that this bonding did not take place before is clearly visible in the interaction. @kunalkarankapoor has played the part of an overwhelmed son who finally gets the attention and love of his father, that he had longed for all these years, perfectly and watching his scenes is a treat. Atul Kulkarni sir has also played the part of a guilty father to perfection.

Anvi: I will start  off by saying  that I'm overwhelmed  watching  .. kunal karan Kapoor's portrayal  .. as #mohitnaikraikar  in #Theraikarcase. The end  of season  1 was ambiguous.  Which  means  season  2 is in the  pipeline.  And we will definitely  get more to see more of kunal karan Kapoor.  Mohit is a character  who is seeking  for his parents  acceptance  n love from  his parents.  Baba-yashwanth naik Raikar.  Aai -sakshi naik  Raikar.. sadly both his parents are unaware of mohit's trauma.. and that was so beautifully  portrayed  by kunal.. specially when  his father  openly  shows his preference  for etasha (mohit's  sister)... mohit  doesn't  have much dialogues to say ....but his eyes n his body  language  said a lot . That's a plus point  for kunal.  No other actor can boast of this .. kunal's talent  is GOD'S  gift to him. And he is using  it to the optimum.. leaving  his family  craving  for more. The other  scene  which made an impact  on me.. is when mohit  tries  to jump out of the  window... fearing his dark  secret  will be out in the open.. and when  he breaks  down  in rushad's arms... there is a pause.. though the  scene  was for few seconds.. kunal  aced it... he is deprived  of his father's  love... n was looking  for a father  figure  in rushad. Their relationship  was not much defined  in season 1.. but I'm certain  it will be shown  in season 2... The twist  gave  me a shock.. I honestly  was not expecting such a 360 turn  in the story. And when  mohit  clings to rushad n cries.. made my heart ache for him.😢. Kunal  is an actor  who always  moves out from  his comfort  zone . He knows he will  be appreciated  n would  grow  as an artist.

Kunal  is an actor  who always  moves out from  his comfort  zone . He knows he will  be appreciated  n would  grow  as an artist.

When the news broke  out that our talented  kunal  is making  a comeback..everyone  was in a state of frenzy.. we just wanted  him back.  I personally  didn't  care what role he had been  locked..  the man was back.  I was floating  in air n delirious  with happiness. Kunal's  performance  reached the  crescendo  in the final  episode... you had  to sit still... so dat u could  catch his performance  n didnt  miss out on any of the minutest  detail.. We as his viewers  could  see various  shades emoted by kunal..guilt , pain ,  fear and frustration.. I could  also see relief.. dat now he had come out from the closet.  And his baba understood  him n his pain... regretted ignoring  his child . Kunal  was as a volcano  waiting   to explode. And the best part is  he was working  with a legend  in his own  right... I'm speaking  of atul sir. I was not feeling  bad that his character  was not that prominent  in session  1..  because  he got  a chance  to work  with some great  actors.. I am waiting  for  season  2... because  kunal  is going  to open  a pandora box.. all the  dark secrets  of the  Raikar  family  will be out in the open..All the best kunal...

Janat:  Welcome back our hero 😍 in The Raikar Case you are mind blowing because kunal's brilliant performance is praiseworthy no doubts he is a king of Expressions but in TRC . In His every scene's expressions and body Language is very different and superb 👏👏  and what I would say About his acting Kunal Karan Kapoor is effortless and exceptional actor I love his performance in The Raikar Case 👏👌👌

anshkunalian: The surprise package of this whodunit is Mohit Naik Raikar. The character is played by this amazingly talented actor KUNAL KARAN KAPOOR. He brings a new dimension to the story.

vml_brahmam: Kunal Karan Kapoor makes a wonderful comeback as Mohit Naik Raikar and did justice for his role with his fabulous and flawless acting. The King of expressions is back.

suchismitamishra-43022: Performance of actors as kunal karan kapoor, Atul kulkarni , ashwini bhave were absolutely remarkable.
