It's You

Summary: You and Benny go waaay back.

A/N: Another one. (just came back and realized I left some sentences hanging I'm so sorry😢.)

Warnings: minor DNI 18+, smut, dry humping, p in v, adorable origin story.

Word Count: 3.5k

Looking out at the endless stretches of land you're reminded of bits of your childhood, spent with your mother’s parents. You remember a massive backyard with no fence like the one at home and a tire swing that never caught a break. The stink of outside caused your grandmother to tell you to shower before you sat at her dining table. From those early memories, it was your favorite place. But the summer you turned 9 the cracks in your family were too big to ignore, unbeknownst to you.

When your parents' divorce was finalized all you thought was that you’d get two of everything but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Your mom got remarried first promising a new beginning, except eventually, that meant without you. Her husband, Liam, was lovely enough but after you refused to call him ‘dad’ the exclusion began there. You spent more and more weeks with your dad under the guise of them needing time together.

The announcement of your mother's pregnancy shocked you but you were happy to be a big sibling. Even though you spent more time with your dad it was explained to you they needed to set up for the baby. The tension between your mother and father was thick. He hated the way she was allowing her new husband to treat you like yesterday’s trash, seeing you cry after your mother denied you for the umpteenth time left your father feeling defeated.

He knew how much you loved going to your grandparents, despite the divorce they maintained a good relationship. So he sucked it up and called his former mother-in-law to have a heart-to-heart. His hushed whispers didn’t stop you from eavesdropping.

“I just don’t know what to do, I can’t fill in for Monica and she can’t be bothered to care,” Your dad sighs. “I need her to have some normalcy and more than me to fall back on. I just don’t think I’m enough anymore.” Your father’s hidden grieves finally aired.

“Baby you are doing the best you can, I’m sorry it’s been this bad. I don’t know what’s gotten into Monica but she's always welcome to stay with us, you too if you ever need to.”

“She does love it up there.” Although you only hear your father’s side excitement thrums throughout you, and only one place makes you that happy.

“Mhmm can’t keep her overactive behind in the house.” Grandma's quip summons your father's deep chuckle thinking of the time spent at his former in-laws. “So it’s settled then bring her behind up here and she’ll be alright.”

“Thank you.” In only two words anyone could feel genuine gratitude from your father.

……….

Your heart beats a mile a minute as you pull up to your grandparent's house, It’s been longer than usual and you weren’t sure if they still wanted you around. Noticing your hesitance your dad gives you space and goes to get the bags out of the trunk. By the time he drags the last of them to the steps he sees you standing at the door.

“You gonna let em’ know we’re here sweet pea?” He gently urges you with raised brows.

You raise your hand to ring the doorbell, listening to the wind chimes on the porch. Then you hear a flurry of steps come to the door, and both of your grandparents answer suspiciously. Once you’re in the house you can tell they are huddled together to hide something for you.

“Me and Nana talked and we know it can get a little lonely when you’re here with us geriatrics,” your grandmother swats him with a side glance. “This is someone we found to help with that.”

A black kitten with doll-like eyes stares back at you, gently you approach the pet and feel their fur. You get an instant response as a smile slowly blossoms across your face. “What’s their name?”

“We thought you could take care of naming him.” Your grandmother looks fondly upon you enjoying the kitten.

“Ok, but I need to get to know him better first.” You decide before running up the stairs to your room yelling a “Thank you,” to everyone involved.

Hours pass as you get to know your kitten. He’s not fond of outside but he’ll stay on the porch and watch you. He prefers to roam around in the same room as you rather than cuddle, not that you mind. Even though you don’t see him all the time you know he’s there, which was oddly comforting to you.

After spending enough time holed in your room you come downstairs to bother your grandpa while he watches sports. Except you find two teenage-looking boys sitting in the living room with him. The older one, you assume, has longer hair like the men in your grandma's ‘special’ books. He’s got blue eyes that are glued to the screen like he’s getting paid. The younger one though, is already looking at you causing heat to flood your cheeks. You back up the way you came and head to where your grandmother is.

“Nana who are those people on the couch with Grandpa?”

“Oh those are our new neighbor’s kids, They moved in the house a mile from here and they help out in exchange for dinner.” Your Nan lets out before adding, “Where’s your kitten sweet pea?”

“Sebastien’s taking a nap” you proudly tell her.

You saddle up next to her watching as she cooks and helping cut, albeit rather slowly, but she doesn’t seem to mind. The kitchen smells better than ever which attracts the three people dedicated to watching sports in the other room. The two boys enter the room and you busy yourself stirring the pot.

“Do you want me and Benny to set the table ma’am?” The older one addresses your Nan.

“That would be great, thank you, William. Before I forget this is my granddaughter,” she gives your name before turning back to you. “This is William Miller,” she gestures toward the older one. “And this is his younger brother Benjamin Miller.”

You manage to look at both of them with a small smile before going back to the pot. Once the dinner table is set the five of you sit down silently to eat, just the way you like it. Though you feel the stare of one particular person, you cast a glance at Benjamin who doesn’t bother looking away. You break first finishing your food and bringing it to the kitchen, Benny is right behind you with his plate.

“You know it’s rude to stare.” You attempt to chastise him.

“Weren’t you staring at me and my brother earlier?” He grins knowing he caught you.

“No.” You decide to lie.

“If you say so, what do you do for fun here?” Benny's been bored since Will, him, and mom moved next door.

“I have a tire swing out back and there’s a creek not too far from here.” You hope he picks the tire swing, it’s more fun if someone pushes you.

“The creek sounds fun.” He muses.

“So does the tire swing.” You counter.

“We can do the tire swing when we get back.” He assures you.

“You promise?” Your eyes narrow in suspicion.

“Pinky.” He holds up his to solidify his word.

On your way out you tell your grandmother you’re showing Benny the creek, she warns you to be careful. Throughout the walk you come to find out Benjamin isn’t as quiet as you thought. He’s very talkative rattling over so many topics it’s almost hard to keep up. You don’t mind though it’s nice being around him.

Benny follows your lead, so much so that when you stop abruptly he doesn’t have time to stop himself before barreling through you. The muffled grunt underneath him has Benjamin moving faster than usual. As Benny helps you emerge from the ground, he helps pick out leaves stuck in your hair. The death glare you send him has him primarily focusing on the back of your hair.

“Sorry, I should’ve been watching where I was going.” You roll your eyes but accept his apology no less. Luckily your clothes didn’t get mud on them.

“It’s fine.”

You begin moving to the edge to dip your feet in. Benjamin follows your lead, this time careful of your movements. “You know there’s a bunch of pretty pebbles at the bottom?” Benny cranes his neck to try and spot what you’re talking about. You inch towards him motioning straight down past the edge. “See all the green and blue ones?” You back up to let him get a better look.

Benjamin’s hands are planted on the edge as he peers over, what he doesn’t expect is you hip-checking him into the water. The loud and humid air that once surrounded him turned into cool still water. Once he resurfaced and found you peering down at him with a cheeky grin, he couldn’t even be mad.

“Now can we go back to swing?” Benny heaved himself out of the water, wringing his shirt out before trudging behind you. You practically skip the whole way to the backyard, surprised to find Will sitting on the porch. Upon seeing the both of you worse for wear he muffles a laugh. To make matters worse you look like you’re the one bossing him around on the swing.

When the Miller brothers walk home that night the squelching of Benny’s clothes has Will laughing the entire way home.

………..

At present, you and Benny are celebrating his return from deployment. Even now over a decade later Benjamin and you were glued at the hip. You watch as he pours another shot out for you, this will be the 6th one. Just like the good old days, you two are getting shit-faced by the creek.

Throughout the years of you coming to stay with your grandparents, Benny would arrive before you did. The pair of you got close enough that he told you about his parent's divorce and how he hadn’t seen his dad as much. You hugged him and reiterated the words your dad told you ‘their loss’. After you told him about your mom he was ready to storm her house and demand an answer to her absence in your life.

Sebastien and he got along well enough, Benny was always a little too excitable for him to be around. Benny had always had good looks but as the two of you got older, you couldn’t deny your growing attraction to him. His shoulders got broader, almost always stretching whatever shirt he was wearing. But his face chiseled out with facial hair, he had no idea what an ugly phase was. His hair was gorgeous and when he told you he was gonna have to chop it off for training you thought that was it. But no, his buzzcut enhances his face and makes you look into his eyes.

“What are you gonna do?” You peer down at him lying on his back while you sit up gazing at the water.

“You remember when I told you I wanted to do MMA?”

“So you wanna get the shit beat out of you for a living?” You were mostly jesting but a small part of you is worried.

“Don’t worry, I’m a real professional,” He sits up and playfully punches the air in front of him. “C’mon I bet you can’t take me.” He stands up rousing you to play fight with him.

“How many times do I have to push you in that water before I finally shut you up?” You finally take the shot that’s been sitting in front of you, standing with a little wobble to match his stance.

Benny stands nearly a foot above you, hunching his shoulders to somewhat meet your height. He rocks back and forth trying to figure out your next move. You keep a distance in an effort to defend against his long arms, which he tries and fails to swat at you. You charge at him full speed to knock him over into the leaves.

His arms circle your waist trapping you with him as he falls. When his big body hits the ground with a thud you laugh and try pushing off of him. But his arms don’t loosen, instead they slide down your waist and squeeze. Your breath momentarily stalls and you look into Benny’s eyes, his pupils blown with a thin blue outer layer. The smell of his Irish Spring soap encases you.

“Benny?” You say his name like a question hoping he’ll clue you in.

“Sugar.” He responds lowering his pupils to your lips, the sudden transition causing you to lick your lips.

Benny groans low and you feel it through your hands on his chest. Your faces almost touch but neither of you make the first move. He nudges your nose before turning his head to press his lips to yours. Despite this being your first kiss with him you wanted more. Your body pressed into his, closing what little distance you had between you. His left-hand glides up your body to grab the back of your neck, keeping you there.

You lick his bottom lip wanting to feel everything from him. Thinking you’re dominating the kiss, you eagerly lick into his mouth. Letting out all of your unabashed moans, Benny presses your hips to his groin needing to feel friction. You decide to pull back and sit up much to Benny’s dismay, the string of spit connecting you two brings a hazy look to his eye. You bring your knees up to either side of his hips, and before he can ask why you’re back on him.

Benny doesn’t give you the upper hand this time, his warm tongue sliding back into your mouth like it’s supposed to be there. You feel a pulse in your core that only gets more incessant with Benny exploring your mouth. You begin rocking your hips against his in an attempt to relieve the thrumming, but all it does is make you more needy. The kiss deteriorates since you can’t keep up with Benny’s mouth, not when your clit is rubbing against his zipper so deliciously.

“M’sorry it feels so good.” You let out before biting your lip to quiet the sounds.

“Show me.” Benny raises his thumb to your lip to release it. “Lemme hear you.”

Your eyes must be pitch black looking down at Benny while you hump him like a possessive dog. Benny’s hands find their way to your hips again, squeezing and pressing his bulge against your clit. He groans as you rub yourself against him faster, he loves the look of your scrunched-up face and pouty lips.

“You feel what you do to me?” He asks you while staring at you intensely.

“Fuck,” His mouth is hung open, letting out the prettiest moans just for you.

Another jolt of arousal heads straight down to your core, your panties are dripping. The wet spot on Benny’s pants from you grows, you would be embarrassed but your dignity left the moment his tongue went in your mouth. With your hands on his chest, you can feel the string within you about to snap. When you feel it snap your hips stutter and your hands find purchase on his biceps. Although your mouth is open you have no idea if you’re screaming or not, your hearing temporarily goes out.

You both stare at each other with blown pupils and puffy lips. Unsure of how to proceed both of you remain unmoved, the surrounding nature seems to follow suit. Benny sits up placing his palms behind him to nudge your nose again.

“I love you,” He pauses slightly “And not in a platonic way, I wanna marry you. I had a lot of time to think and all I thought about was you. I was counting the days to see you cause I missed you so bad. I mean we’re already halfway there.”

Benny’s confession leaves your heart beating so rapidly that you think he hears it too. You suppose you two are more than halfway there. The friendship you share is something intimate, not in a friendly way either more like a married couple that’s been together decades and knows the other inside out.

“Is this your way of asking me on a date?” You stare at him, waiting for an answer.

“Only if you say yes.” His eyes never leave yours, you can feel the warmth in his gaze.

“Okay but only if you come back and spend the night with me.” You bargain, though you know he’ll say yes.

“I’m getting too old to shimmy up that tree?” He laughs at the memories of staying up all night talking.

“We’ll go through the front if you promise to stay fucking quiet.” You pointedly tell him before pulling back from the intimate position you were in.

Standing up you adjust your pants trying to make sure there are no visible wet spots on you. Even though there are none Benny takes off his hoodie, handing it to you without a word. The walk back is surprisingly quiet but it’s not awkward, not when Benny’s eyes keep finding their way to you. The full moon illuminates the back porch of your Grandparents' place. With all the lights off you and Benny go around to the front quietly making your way up the creaky porch steps.

Benny’s hands slide down your sides, hooking his fingers in your belt loops. You take it one step at a time so as to not chance waking anyone up. Your shadow follows your every step with his warm breath bearing down your neck. If you weren’t as professional as you were he would’ve tripped you up. Once safely in your room the breath you were holding releases itself. Sebastien’s head pops up from where he lays on your bed, more specifically your side of the bed.

“I’m taking a shower you coming?” Without giving him a chance to answer you begin taking off your clothes on the way to the bathroom.

Benny wastes no time pulling off his clothes and placing them in one pile before joining you. He gets in before the water’s scorching, the feeling of your hand gripping his bicep before you slip in has him making room for you.

“Benny it’s freezing,” You shiver while gripping his biceps harder.

“Sugar it’s 90 degrees outside why do you even want hot water.” He’s just as confused as you.

“Because it isn’t 1800 we have air conditioning now.” You gently move Benny to the side, and he lets you get closer to the now steaming water.

With you in front, you take advantage of the hot water beating against your skin. When you turn around to face Benny again he rushes you into a heated kiss, his soft lips melting against yours. His hands cup your ass sending your hips straight into his. Benny backs you against the tile before lifting you.

“This what you want?” You don’t answer Benny with words instead grabbing the back of his neck to bring his lips to yours.

He lines himself up with your entrance before slowly sinking himself inside you. The groan he lets out vibrates against your chest. Benny’s cock stretches you in the most delicious way, you can no longer focus on the kiss and throw your head back against the tile. Benny takes the time to focus on your neck, licking and sucking on your sensitive spots to loosen you up for him.

“You’re perfect,” His sudden declaration has you clenching down on him. Benny’s hips begin to speed up, frantically humping into your own. The sound of your pussy keeping up with Benny was drowned out by the water. “Look at me,” Benny demands of you while his hips drive into you.

When your eyes meet his, he tells you, “I love you.”

With your mouth hanging open you return the sentiment, your hips driving into his on pure instinct. Benny’s hands grip your hips in a way that will bruise tomorrow but right now he can’t bring himself to care. He places his focus on the way your tits bounce every time he connects his hips to yours. Before he can warn you, ropes of cum shoot out deep inside your pussy. The rocking of his hips slows until you're both panting against one another.

Benny releases you to the ground but keeps his hands on you knowing you’ll need some assistance. He takes your washcloth and douses it in whatever scented body soap you have on your shelf. He rubs it thoroughly throughout your body creating suds that make your body even more inviting. He’s gentle while cleaning up the mess he made. Once you’re finished he quickly washes himself before dragging the both of you out.

Your eyes are barely open while he puts one of his shirts on you. He travels over to the drawer dedicated to him, pulling out a pair of boxers to sleep in. As he slides in bed behind you he kisses your neck before wrapping an arm around you.

AHHHHH I LOVE MOCHE AND THE CONCEPT OF HER AND HER UNIVERSE IT'S SO CREATIVE AAAAH

also EIGHT BABIES??? MULTIPLE SETS OF TWINS + TRIPLETS YOU GO GIRL much tougher than I am

anyway I love her so much and I love ur mild miguel concept because THAT'S WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING

anyway that's my ramble luv ur blog

-🍋

THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHH ahhhhHHHHHHHHH

Writing Moche scratches my history itch SO BADLY, and it makes me so happy to share my culture with other people. Because the Incas were DOPE

It makes me really really want to make a victorian era Spider-woman just so I can go history diving again (and model her after Bernadette Banner or something)

And I LOVE the idea of Miguel with a big family.

Context about me:

As an afro-latino, I grew up with a HUGE family in the same apartment. Growing up, I live in an apartment with my parents, my nana, an aunt, and two of my uncles. So, seven people. And this was not a big ass apartment it was three bedrooms. My grand-aunt and great grandmother also lived in the apartment above, so I was raised very communally. As was by dad and my nana. And I think it's SO enriching to have a community of adults to watch, teach, or listen to me. Plus it takes a lot of weight off the parents. I was raised alongside my cousin - and he didn't live with us but he was always there because it's free daycare. Just leave us with my nana or my aunt or my uncle or WHOEVER home. (When we moved out when I was 7 it was genuinely weird to me having only 2 other people around but now I'm use to it.)

I know Miguel doesn't have a good history family-wise, so I was like... 'I can't fix him but I can do something really wholesome'.

ANd I find the whole 'No daughters for you thing' SO FUNNY

Cause people love giving Miguel girls and I'm like...no no no...I'm not making it easy for him.

So like two twin boys. And if he tries again MORE TWIN BOYS. and if he tries again again THREE GIRLS ALL AT ONCE

Like even when Miguel gets what he wants the universe still messes with him

And also the idea of Miguel with like 8 teenagers in the house at once, I just think that's rich dlgjfkgfdklgj

The eight kids was mainly to mess with him. Stressed Dad Miguel

I guess the reason I like soft miguel so much is because he reminds me of my bosses

And I don't mean that in a bad way - I just mean Assistant Directors are stressed and tough as concrete which I LOVE. They're super blunt and orderly but they're the more attentive caring people ever.

BUT ANYWAY THANK YOU SO MUCH

Luster Dawn felt kind of bad about blowing up at her dads that night. It was true that she DID need to set some boundaries, she wasn’t a little filly after all. But even she had to admit that yelling at them was a little much. At least she’d get to apologize and talk to them about it when they got back from their business trip.

For now, though, her grandparents had come over to spend time with her for the weekend. She mostly only saw her Nana, Gramma, and Grampa on holidays and special occasions only, but “just because” seemed to be the occasion for now. Not that she minded too much.

Her Nana Stellar Flare leaned over her shoulder as she studied.

“I heard you’ve been learning some new spells in school! Do you mind telling me about them?”

“We heard from the grapevine that you’re studying under Queen Twilight! That’s a really big honor!”

Gramma Honey Bee chimed in from across the room.

“Put in a good word for us, will you?”

Honey nudged her husband, Ironwing, playfully as he said this.

“You’re just looking to get pardoned!”

This was the same overbearing behavior that Luster had gotten angry at her dads for, so she was a little peeved that her grandparents were doing it too. But she didn’t have to deal with them very often so for now the least she could do was entertain them.

“I’m not studying under her yet, I still have a couple years to go and more exams to prepare for. But hopefully I will. Right now I’m just learning basic transformation spells, like turning apples into oranges.”

But her grandparents still acted like she was already studying under royalty.

“That’s wonderful dear! You were always such a smart cookie!”

Stellar pinched her cheek.

Luster tried to play along.

“Well thanks, I’m going to try to perfect the apples-to-oranges spell so I can show my dads when they get home.”

There was a sudden shift in the room as she said this, the faces of all three of her grandparents dimming as if their smiles were masks falling off.

Stellar put on another smile which seemed a lot more forced.

“I’m sure they’ll love it...!”

Honey suddenly broke out into sobbing.

“Oh, I can’t take this anymore! Your parents aren’t coming back, Luster! They’re dead!”

“Honey, you weren’t supposed to tell her that!”

Stellar’s own eyes filled with tears as she pulled Luster into a desperate embrace.

“I’m so sorry, baby.”

Luster’s eyes were still dry. She was shocked. Was she hearing this right? Were they really...?

“W-what? How? When?”

Ironwing cleared his throat, delivering an explanation through his own tears.

“We found out last night. There...there was an accident. An avalanche. It took out the whole crew, including...”

He stopped, unable to go on.

Stellar shot a tearful glare at Honey and Iron.

“You two should be ashamed of yourselves! She wasn’t ready! WE weren’t ready!”

Luster barely listened to this exchange, she barely felt their attempts to comfort her. Instead those two horrible words kept ringing in her ears.

They’re dead.

In A Dream - Phoenix’s Cut

synopsis: Phoenix’s words throughout the showing of NCT Dream The Dream Show: In A Dream The Movie

note: trying a new layout for Phoenix’s cut in TDS Movie! enjoy!

HER OPENING WORDS TO THE FANS

“Are we really doing this? Wah... A whole movie dedicated to the Dreamies for Dreamzens. I think my first thought was, are they crazy? We can appear really different to how the fans see us but I hope through this they can feel closer to us and understand us a little bit better”

Nodding to herself, she ran her hands over her dress to smooth it out, the white a striking contrast to her normal fashion when promoting. Thinking for a moment, Phoenix paused as she tried to come up with her next words,

“My hope, for us doing this concert or these concerts really, is that I just want us to be able to finish proudly. We haven’t stood on a stage as a team in front of fans for such a long time I think it will be really hard for us. I want them (the members) to be walking off stage and be happy because they did well and are healthy”

PHOENIX AND JENO

Her laughter was what was heard first, the scene cut from Jeno and Jaemin calling him stupid to her sitting in front of the camera.

“Jeno, he is really like the kind of friend you don’t know you needed. He holds a lot of strength in the team, but he’s very confusing. Did he tell you that the cutout on his shirt was his idea? When I saw it for the first time... But he helps us a lot, and he’s always so playful he really is our pup”

Somin was trying to stretch her legs as the stood on the stage, the poor girl having to do the rehearsal in heels for the first time was proving to be more tiresome than what she first thought it would be for herself. As they began to take a break, most of the members moved behind the stage to escape the burning sun and heat for a little while but she stayed put, “Are you coming?” Shaking her head she looked down, “I feel like my legs are jelly already and we aren’t even properly dancing yet...” Nodding Jeno walked over to her and bent down, “Up you go, we don’t need you burning out from this sun before we start” She climbed onto his back wordlessly as the camera captured the two heading off screen.

PHOENIX AND CHENLE

Somin was half hidden behind Chenle as he was playing around with Jisung, the girl fiddled with his mic pack before tapping his side and passing it to him. Grabbing her own mic from his hands she patted him as the two separated to their spots in the line up.

“Chenle used to be my baby before he grew up. I think it took me a bit of time to realise that he didn’t need me to look after him all the time and I couldn’t hold onto him as tightly. He is very caring to anyone around him, even strangers. I don’t tell him I love him verbally as much anymore because I think it makes him embarrassed now but I do”

PHOENIX AND JAEMIN

“The easiest way to describe my Nana? He’s like my fairytale love honestly. He’s so different and he listens to absolutely everything I say and pays attention to all the little things. Sometimes life just gets too much and he helps me find things that make sense”

Phoenix waved Jaemin over to her as she was getting ready to do the air lift jump, he smiled as she held her arms open. The taller male wrapping his arms around her as they watched and waited for her turn. He had already tried it and it was fun but nervewracking at the same time. His eyebrow however, lifted at the girl as she traced her fingers over his biceps, “You good there pretty girl?” “Mmmh, when did your arms get so big?” “Checking me out?” “No just appreciating” She smiled up at him as her name was called, “Catch me when I fall?” “Of course"

PHOENIX AND JISUNG

“Jisungie... Jisungie worries me. I think that I worry about him almost more than I do about Haechan. I wasn’t someone who babied him a lot but he’s still our baby you know? Everytime I see him though, I’m always wanting to tell him how proud I am of him. But he asks so many weird questions about life I get a headache sometimes”

Jisung suddenly sat next to her as they were in the hall practicing their markings for the show, the older turned in slight confusion as he made himself small on her lap. His legs bent as he curled into her stomach. Immediately her hands fell into his hair as she soothed and separated any knots that had formed from practicing. “Noona?” “Yeah?” “Do you think I’ll do good out there?” Her hands stilled as she looked down, his eyes were closed but the crinkle formed between his brows and his breathing was unsettled, “Ji, you could walk off that stage absolutely hating your performance and I wouldn’t lie to you when I’d say you were amazing if not perfect. I have all the faith in the world that you are going to do more than good.” “Thanks...” “You’re very welcome, how about we just stay here for a little bit? Noona will wake you up when we get started again”

PHOENIX AND RENJUN

Renjun lay in the clear box as they rehearsed Quiet Down, the girl casually walking over and laying on top facing in as he ran through the steps, “Can I help you?” “You ignored me last night when we were meant to sit and read” “I was busy” “Doing what?” “Laying in bed,” Sighing the girl tapped the box to get his attention as she sat in front, “Tonight, we are eating together and painting. I don’t care for how long or what but you need to let your brain shut down a little otherwise you’re going to keep overthinking and then you’ll be mad when you mess up. And use your legs less and hips more when you do the moves so it flows better”

Smiling, Phoenix shook her head as she thought of the best way to describe Renjun, “Renjun holds a lot of power in the team. Everyone wants his attention and to protect him. He’s very soft and sincere - I wouldn’t say innocent. He talks about lifes possibilities a lot and he puts too much pressure on himself so I hope in future he loves himself most and cares about himself most.”

PHOENIX AND MARK

Their voices constantly kept overshadowing one another as they talked with the team, the rest of the member stood idle as they discussed things. Mark and Phoenix had began to grow more frustrated with each other to where their tone was getting harsher and short. Eventually the two were pulled away from each other to cool down before they picked back up again. As they sat in silence avoiding each others presence, Mark let out a defeated sigh, noting how he hadn’t seen her eat anything the entire time they had been in the hall. Grabbing a few things, he came to sit next to her on the floor, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have snapped and I really do appreciate your input Som” Nodding the girl took the water bottle he had opened, “I’m worried about you. Mark you’re not resting, both you and Hyuck are so busy that neither of you eat proper meals and now look at us,” “I know,” “Do you? I want you to be healthy and I want you to understand that us having this amazing concert doesn’t mean we have to jeopardize your health. Let us help you with carrying the stress, we’re a team” “You always look out for me Som, love you okay” “Someone has to, half the time it’s like there isn’t a thought behind those boba eyes of yours”

“Mark, he’s so precious. He’s the oldest but he’s like a baby. His mind is everywhere and thoughts are nowhere to be found sometimes, but he is the reason why we’re still here. Mark is our home, and we make sure to take care of him because without him we aren’t okay”

PHOENIX AND HAECHAN

“Haechannie, he is my comfort. Whenever he comes back after being away it’s like, ah okay everything makes sense again. He keeps us happy and always makes sure we feel energised. My favourite thing about him is probably his smile? Just seeing him truly happy makes me feel better”

Somin was walking around the stage as she watched the crew prepare for tomorrow’s concert, her eyes catching Haechan being projected onto the screen. Pulling out her phone she took a photo of him, turning to locate where he was before rushing over as she heard his laughter echo out from his mic. Standing back slightly she kept taking photos, now of the boy right in front of her. He wasn’t blind to the camera going off but he shrugged it off until he was lifting a brow in her direction as his conversation ended, “Trying to fill up your storage?” Shaking her head she simply sat in front of him, “Smile” Rolling his eyes he obliged, regardless of how confused he was. “Seriously though what’s up with you?” “You look happy,” “Okay?” “I don’t know it’s just, you just, I don’t know how to say it but looking at you right now? I want to keep this photo of your smile with me forever you know” Nodding, he slipped down to sit in front, turning slightly and pulling out his own phone, “Smile Som”

SOMIN’S INTRODUCTION

I think the best way to describe me is the calming voice of our family, I am your Neo girl Phoenix

DREAM’S WORDS ABOUT SOMIN

Chenle shook his head, “Phoenix is the best kind of crazy. She is so fierce in everything she does it can be overwhelming. But everything she does it’s always for other people so I hope she can allow us to look after her more” Nodding he wrung out his hands.

“My little love. I think she always fights to prove herself even when she doesn’t have to and she’s not afraid to love and that’s my favourite thing about her” Jaemin smiled as he spoke, looking down a little as his hand rubbed the back of his neck, “She’s always our biggest fan and she’s very vocal”

Jeno shook his head no, “She is the most powerful member in NCT, not even just in our team. Her mind is always ten steps ahead and she’s so smart everyone ends up just following what she says. She can be scary too which is funny”

“Noona, she worries about us a lot. Even though we’re all so close in age she always took responsibility for everything. If anything went wrong or if one of us got in trouble she always took the heat and protected us. So I always want to protect her now”

“Phoenix really matches her name well, she’s a rare kind of person to come across and it never mattered what was thrown at her back then or even now but she always comes back stronger than ever” Renjun fiddled with his ring, “She makes you want to fight to be better than you were and always makes sure that you’re loved”

“Som is I think my best friend, honestly. Honestly Somin is like my number one.” Mark crossed his arms as he tried searching for the words, “We are really similar but super different at the same time and she’s honestly just so cute. Yeah she’s mine”

Haechan laughed as he thought about how to describe her, “Phoenix is unlike anyone I have ever met before. She is very quiet but super loud and she’s so smart. I think if we didn’t have her we probably wouldn’t be as good of a team. She helps bring out the best in us”

SOMIN’S LETTER

Her hands were shy to open the note, Jaemin rubbing her arm slightly as she opened it and took a breath,

I was always worried about the person that I would grow up to be, but I feel like growing up and having someone like Phoenix unnie was what helped me become a better version of myself. I don’t know what my dream is and I don’t know if I will be able to survive as strongly as she has in this harsh world but everyday I wake up and am thankful that I have been lucky enough to hear Phoenix’s encouraging words. Words she says with love and belief that even the bad days become better in the end so I hope one day Phoenix will never have any more days where it’s dark but ones that are filled with only love and light. Phoenix, Somin, our dream girl hwaiting!

SOMIN’S ENDING MESSAGE

Dream will always be here, in your heart, in your lives and by your side. I think the thing that makes me understand how lucky I am is that I get to receive so much love and I hope that in a years time or two years time or even ten that people can turn around and say that they were proud to be someone who supported Phoenix

We are here together. We are NCT DREAM

~ 15 questions & 15 friends ~

tagged by my much beloved @czarcaustic <3

1. Are you named after anyone?

My grandfather!! Courtney was his middle name. (That spelling was originally the masculine form of the name, though it's pretty rare to see it used as such these days.) My middle name is also a family name :)

2. When was the last time you cried?

Uhh... oh it was a couple nights ago, when talking with my parents about my Nana. I still miss her a lot

3. Do you have kids?

Nope. At this stage of my life I can't say it feels super likely ever to happen, though I'd be lying if I said I don't feel a twinge of Something when I meet babies at work lol.

4. What sports do you play/have you played?

lmao I have never played any. I am extremely unathletic by nature, and also always struggled to get my brain around the rules of pretty much any of them when I was like, a kid in gym class

5. Do you use sarcasm?

Sure, but not a lot? Probably an average amount I figure

6. What is the first thing you notice about people?

Man, I dunno - probably their faces or their clothes, depending on context?

7. What's your eye color?

Brown!

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Big big fan of both! I'm not a big sad endings guy, though. Even when it feels right for the story, it's usually not my jam. (I guess sometimes sad endings can be good for scary movies, but that's like... sort of its own thing? because it's about The Horror.)

9. Any talents?

This is always a hard question for me to answer, bc I feel like most of the things I'm good at are more skills than talents - they're things I've practiced and developed over time, like with my writing and art. Although I guess it'd be fair, if unusual maybe, to say I've got a couple naturally strong interpersonal skills. I'm very good at communication, including figuring out what other people are trying to say, and I'm also pretty good at making people feel comfortable and understood.

10. Where were you born?

In southern Ontario, in the city where both of my parents did most of their growing up :)

11. What are your hobbies?

Writing (fiction prose, mostly) and the many kinds of thinking that go with it (worldbuilding, character development, etc). Arts and crafts (of many kinds; I'm often bouncing from one thing to another. Currently I'm having lots of fun learning to crochet). Taking in stories (reading books and comics, watching movies and TV, playing games, listening to podcasts - I love stories in all their forms). Goofing off with my family, especially my younger siblings.

12. Do you have any pets?

We have three cats - Neverland, Louie, and Smudge :)

13. How tall are you?

Uhh my ID says 165 cm, so that's... 5'5"-ish? I'm genuinely so incapable of remembering that on my own, for some reason.

14. Favorite subject in school?

It was usually English and art, growing up. In university it was always my courses that delved into genre fiction - science fiction, children's lit, the fairy tale... also that graphic novel seminar I took

15. Dream job?

Iiii. [sweats] I wanna be a novelist, but also, that's hard in its own way, and I think it's gonna take me a while yet to really Get There in terms of my own skills, disregarding the challenges of publishing. Beyond that... is something I've been struggling a lot with lately, because it's hard for me to imagine myself in a job where I'm both content and competent, let alone able to support myself. I've been wondering a lot again about library sciences, lately, but I just don't know. It's tough out here!

I definitely don't have 15 people to tag, but. @izupie @werewolfin @serenabeanie @womanaction @mana-sputachu perhaps, if you're feelin' it?

May 2023

An unexpected pizza party! I briefly thought it smelled like a pizzeria when I walked down the stairs and when I arrived at the dining hall two huge tables with many different pizzas were set up for us. We ate ate all together at a huge table like a family.

The first self-guided yoga practice I actually enjoyed. An asana plan and pre-programmed bells wth Insight Timer really help a lot.

Stepping outside after my yoga session, seeing a double rainbow in the sky.

Deep talk with Robert. Hard hugs.

The story about Kali appearing as a black cat.

Seva Day. Getting to sit in the Karma Yogi common room (sitting behind Ashley, giving her a back massage). Tarot and oracle cards everywhere (drawing a card suggesting to "bring joy to what you're doing"). Sanding and oiling two wooden benches in the workshop (a place where I felt at ease right away). Alexius gave me his scarf. Then I removed some masking tape from the floors on Clair Joie. I love practical work.

Picking flowers for the library.

Feta cheese, green olives, pink sauerkraut and leftover pizza for lunch.

Helping Judith set up and clean my room. Having a nice and easy conversation. Relating.

Another dream after which I woke up crying - sobbing, really. Ringing in my ears, seeing a bright white and purple light behind my forehead. So real I had to open my eyes and check if the light was coming from outside. Spooky. Happened twice now, Almost as if a portal has been opened and now all the stored sadness is just flowing out freely.

Conversations with Nana over lunch and nestled into a dark corner one night. About finding balance. Making decisions. Astrology and energies.

Turning the Karma Yogi lounge into a Berlin night club ca. 1998. Light effects, group hopping, Hadi DJ-ing.

A magical night with a bright waxing moon. Clear sky. The stars and the moonlight shining through the leaves, sitting in a swing. Listening to the sounds of the forest. Owls, toads, rustling leaves. Everything in full bloom. The smell of the lilac in the air.

A long talk with Maya. About everything and nothing. Meditation. The mind. My Vishudda chakra. Our families. It's so much easier to bond when there's not a ton of people around!

Spontaneous back massage for Ashley when I sat behind her at the Seva meeting.

A rebirthing breathwork session with Maya. I had a mainly physical reaction, feeling my whole body vibrating and pulsating - especially the hands and solar plexus. My channeled my inner child and all her sadness, hurt feelings, fear of connection. Afterwards I felt really good and had a long nap.

Sitting under a tree after lunch. Sunshine. Verima playing the guitar, singing for us in her beautiful voice. Robert, Lucie and Verima's friend from Berlin were there, Maya, Caroline and Alexius joined later. I made daisy crowns for every one and a few daisy rings as well. The hippie alternative for knuckle tattoos. It was a beautiful image, everyone singing, decorated with flowers. And it was so sunny. I was only wearing a short dress and had to be careful not to get sunburnt. Felt like the first summer day. A big ant ran over my arm and I decided to let it tickle me and play a little.

Stephen brought me sea salt chocolate from the bio shop and didn't even want money. I paid him with a big hug. What a cutie.

Blessing our food together (at dinner with Robert and a Dutch couple). Holding hands, singing Amour, Shanti, Sagesse.

My roommate during the three day retreat smelled extremely lovely. Probably her laundry detergent? Her clothes made the whole room smell fantastic.

Big buzzing bumblebees. Eating all my meals in the hammock or the swing. Watching the birds come and go, feeding their babies, whizzing from branch to branch. I even saw a robin a few times. Porridge and fresh bread for breakfast.

A blissful meditation on the second retreat day. Merging, blending, expansion. The eternal now.

Being fascinated with Thando's hair. My mat was right behind hers in Shiva Hall so I had plenty of time to admire her gradient dreads adorned with little seashells, coloured thread and metal cuffs.

Writing little goodbye notes for everyone. Closure.

The bright full moon reminded me of the little rituals I'd sometimes do during lockdown. So I felt the need to write down what I wanted to let go of and burn the note under a chestnut tree in the middle of the night.

Leaving Hridaya. Nice conversations with Paul from Colorado on the way to Lyon (he's a nerd, HSP, possibly on the autism spectrum... We found a lot of ways to relate to each other) Buying a bunch of local cheeses and lovely soft chocolate-walnut biscuits. Making my way to the airport, sitting down in "my" corner at gate 01. Meditating to the sound of crackling winter fire, tuning out as much of the noise and busyness as possible. It turned out to be an absolutely fantastic meditation. Feeling kundalini energy, realising which steps I have to take to work on my self-love. Crying quietly.

Getting fresh bread and orange juice, some tomatoes and the traditional "butterbreeze-upon-arrival". Hugging Frank for a very long time. Kissies. He told me everything about Marie. His problems with motivation, and finding a therapist. It's good to be here with him. I hope I'm not overstaying my welcome.

Meeting so many friends. Pub quiz with Margit, Raphael, Dennis and Frank. Lunch with Helga and Marlies, eating strawberries on the rooftop. Drinks with Peter. Snuggling with Manu, learning about his "dream guardian", an animal he sees whenever he realises that he's dreaming, basically preventing him from enjoying a lucid dream.

My energy seems to have changed. A woman asked me for advice on which pair of sunglasses to buy. Others were asking for the way. Perhaps I'm more open and approachable? More examples: racing a guy down the escalator. We both had fun! And discussing the strawberries on display with a random lady to find out which ones were the most beautiful.

60min Thai massage. So good.

A guest appearance as Sphinx in Frank's DnD group. I prepared riddles and anagrams. Pretty cool! And I just love Carolina and Kevin. Visited them the next day for lunch and a Kundalini yoga session. Caro and me have so many shared interests! We need to become friends.

Checking out the dice collection in the board game store. The cashier specifically showed me the cat edition. Good intuition.

Kinder Happy Hippo is back! Creamy hazelnut filling. Fantastic.

Colour-coded thrift shopping. I only bought orange items.

A variety of Indian food to share, watching Hunger Games movies together. Yanch being vulnerable, talking about his weight gain. Sash's mum sending me a big box of beautiful, homemade macarons.

Meeting Valeria and Mark (and their little son Misha) at a café. Talking about equanimity, my studio/Heilanstalt idea. Buddhism, our jobs, finding the right community.

Meeting Marie for the first time. She seems lovely!

Spending more time with Raphael. Letting him write down the quiz answers. Asking for advice about Peru. I think he thrives when he feels useful.

Brand New Cherry Flavour - a random Netflix find. It has everything I want from a TV program: magic, kittens, lesbians, an amazing title, 90s vibes.

Building the little Lego forklift with Frank. It actually works! It was in the Schultüte I made for him when he went to work for the first time in months.

Spending exactly €22.22 at the store on my birthday. Of course I'll take it as a sign!

More birthday treats: going swimming, but I didn't force myself to swim for a very long time (a bit uncomfortable without goggles). Getting a Baba Ganoush wrap at Beirut Beirut. Instead of birthday cake: a pot of strawberries with whipped cream and a few Raffaellos on top. Ordering a few new piercings and earrings on Etsy.

Playing Kicker and pool with "my men". Frank, Manu, Raphael. It's a little pathetic but it made me feel special. I don't know what it is - a mix between the princess position and being one of the dudes. But I could definitely feel the love.

Spending more time with Raphael. I've missed him.

Realising how many amazing friends I have (and that I know most of them from school or met them on OkCupid). I feel very grateful. My Goldmarie/FLEX birthday was lovely.

Frank stepping up his game: he got me three big pink roses and strawberry cake with a box of Raffaellos for my birthday! Manu also told me that he'd almost organised an airport pickup for me. Maybe he actually meant when he told me that I was really important to him when we were in Amsterdam. Also, I'm so glad he's doing better. I really like his new girl Marie and watching him play his saxophone solo at the Jazz Night made me feel like a proud mum. We make very good flatmates, too! Feels like home.

Speaking of which: the Independent Women vocal ensemble was fantastic. Great voices and they chose pretty cool songs, too! Some of the girls wore great outfits as well (even though it was all black some of them really managed to put together something special and unique).

Seeing Bordeaux through fresh eyes. Jasmine growing up the walls in the alleys. So pretty in the evening light against the blue doors. Ramen noodle soup. Waking up in my little coffin, overlooking the sunlit rooftops. Meditation. Journalling, enjoying a coffee and a croissant on the rooftop terrace.

Orangina gummy candy.

My Ajna Chakra started tingling like crazy during my first meditation at Plum Village.

There is a cat house at Plum Village. I definitely came to the right place. The curious young kitten that regularly joins the walking meditations and makes somersaults whenever it's trying to catch a flying bug brings my a lot of joy. And I befriended Tiéu Nhi, a 17-year old senior cat. Super gentle, shy, plays like a young kitten. I gained her trust with sweet talk and good scratchies. She purrs when I pet her, even lets me hold her sometimes and accepts head boops. I'm honoured.

Very nice Vietnamese food every day. I especially love the half moon-shaped soup tofu and the amazing fresh baguette we eat with margarine and plum jam every morning. Fruit with tahini. Vegan spring rolls. Sweet bean soup with coconut milk. Even the soup broth is always delicious.

Sharing circles. I often relate to everyone so much more afterwards and I realise that I'm not alone with my feelings (something I just naturally assume). The sharings about ancestral trauma and the practice of "touching the earth" were super interesting. And when the sister talked about running away from home during her Dharma sharing I really felt her pain. Emotional contagion, compassion, a trigger?

Looking out the windows of the big hall, seeing the bamboo forest and the reflection of the lights in the glass. It looked like a fairy meadow with glowing lanterns between the leaves.

Getting to know Nora, Jade's friend. Talking about our experiences at Hridaya. The girl who handed me a tissue at the sharing circle (which means she noticed I was crying... ugh, why is vulnerability still so hard) Learning about languages in Madagascar from Sandia. So many lovely people around here.

Sweetened English Breakfast Tea as a regular substitute for dessert.

Practicing mindful eating. Eating slowly, stopping between bites, chewing really well. Giving thanks for the food. Waiting for the table to fill up before starting to eat. Bowing to each other. At one point during breakfast, I had this very clear feeling that I was full. It was amazing to see that my body is sending me signals all the time, I just have to be still enough to notice them. Tuning in. I'm going to experiment with smaller portions from now on to see if they'll already satiate me. Perhaps my way to stop overeating?

Walking meditation with all the monks and sisters, volunteers and short-term visitors. Quite the procession.

My little corner in Dharma Nectar Hall. Writing nook. Yoga mat. Cat nearby. All I need. Performing Ardha Chandrasana (half-moon pose) under the skylight which looked very much like lunar surface with the moos and dirt resembling craters.

A lovely Lazy Day. Talking to Lanting (she's got a master's degree in Buddhist studies, I love people who allow me to pick their brain) and Adele. Yoga in front of the Buddha statue. Dinner outside by the lotos pond. Painting while listening to podcasts. A walk to Happy Farm in the afternoon sun. Imagining holding hands with my parents. The orange poppy-like flowers. Daisies. Language tandem with a Sister. Partnering with Yara from Basel during the "Beginning anew" presentation (I really feel like I should visit Basel now, I keep meeting amazing people from there), relating to her sharing. Anne talking about an interesting educational program. Standing with Julie in the dark kitchen, listening to her stories about finding her practice.

The tiny snail attached to the glass door at eye level before morning meditation.

Tiéu Nhi walked up to me in the morning when I was sitting in my usual spot meditating. "I'm here now! Come cuddle!" So I followed her to her sofa to cuddle. I left for breakfast and returned with a cup of water to paint. On a whim, I offered her the water and she drank out of my hand! I'm in love. / The next day she meowed again in the morning and I picked her up, lying down on my sofa with her. She sat on my belly and seemed super content. Peaceful moment.

Vegan Pho with gluten/"vegan ham". A lime wedge. Tasty mushrooms and fresh herbs.

The Queer Sangha Dharma sharings, offline as well as online. Confirmation that my gaydar is on point. Gentle, open and aware people. So much love and respect. Feels very special.

I googled Jula and Frieda (yeah, I've definitely got a crush) and their CVs kinda confirmed my intuition that I really need to quit my job. One look and I was like... I am so much more. I want that for myself as well. Cried a tear into my porridge bowl upon this realisation.

Sister Spring sharing the Touching the Earth practice with us. Powerful.

Meeting Kati from Austria. Interviewing her about what's it like to have a psychiatrist and psychotherapist as a mum (apparently good).

Finding a cool "Breathe/Aloha" sticker for my water bottle.

Mark still sending me long voice messages (and a selfie of him and Tom, I think they met up in Berlin or Vienna!)

Jade. Her hugs, generosity, way of speaking. Learning from her, being more mindful, trying to speak in a more respectful and considerate way. I appreciate her a lot.

I'm really happy with the Caring Cacti family here at New Hamlet. Lots of lovely people. We've got a lot in common and the Sisters are lovely, too.

The moment I noticed I could actually listen to the Dharma talk in French and take down the headphones with the English translation. Practising French with my roommates (also I'm grateful that our room has been drama-free so far and we're getting along very well).

Bamboo stick exercise does wonders for my back. It feels SO good.

enemies to lovers trope w/ idol!skz

req — none!!

nana’s notes — my fav trope! way too long as always (5k rip). i struggled to find a reason for some of the boys, especially chan lol feedback is always welcome ^^

warning(s) — cursing? (does that count??) a lil suggestive at times! ps. tried keeping it gender neutral!! i am still used to writing fem!reader, so if i ever slip up, (since this is still unedited), lmk!

definitely unedited.

bang chan

you’re hannah’s bestfriend and are currently interning at jyp; chan doesn’t exactly know how to feel about you being so close to his baby sister, and he, unintentionally, makes for a lot of awkward interactions between you three

you just graduated high school and now, boom everyone just excepts you know what you wanna do?? what are you a fortune teller? a genie??

but!! you and hannah became online friends by coincidence a while back and y’all are besties now!!

after venting to her for a while, she was like “bro, wanna do an internship to figure out your life a bit?”

and you were like “aight bet”

so here you are now, doing a summer internship at jyp of all places! and tbh you were having so much fun!

until you met chan, who ironically enough was your bias

out of respect for your bestie, you never really brought skz up, eventhough she knew you were a fan ofc

you’d never want her to feel taken advantage of:<

chan on the other hand, didn’t really ask enough questions?

he thought is was kinda sus how hannah’s bestie was a stay and got an internship at jyp (once again, lacking info massively-)

so he’d try to be super friendly but it just be awkward?

big bro things ig-

“hey! i got you iced matcha since i’m on break, wanna go sit outside? weather’s nice!”

and hannah’s like:D yes!!

but then chan’s is like?? what if they kill her????

“so y/n! what’s your favorite song on I AM: who?”

you blink at him

“h-huh?”

hannah face palms, apologizing on his behalf quietly, “shut up chan…”

“uhm… ‘voices’ probably? though awkward silence is probably more fitting……”, you mutter the last part

it happens again and again so you ask hannah about it

and she’s like: “he’sreallyprotectiveandthinksyoureusingme? ahahahaha…”

and you go: “oh… </3”

because you put some much effort in to make sure that’s not the case yk???? plus he was your bias-

eventually you “resign” 2 weeks early and just spend the rest of the time going around korean with hannah!

and chan felt super bad… not only because you were his sister’s best friend and he was hella awkward, but also cause you’re cute?

he knew it was wrong, but the more he thought back to it, the more he realized how intuitive? understanding? helpful you were?? always assisting everyone perfectly

hannah does eventually catch on and she is a bit pissed cause like, seriously? my best friend, chan?? 🤨

“as long as i don’t have to watch you two way each other’s faces…”

her thought process was, ‘if they get married, no in-law drama’

she loves her bro so she gives him your number

he hits you up and eventually, after apologizing, he does ask to meet up and get to know you a bit better

you ofc can’t just be like, yea!! before asking hannah

she ofc agrees and appreciates you asking:)

and now, months in the future after you’ve gotten your uni business sorted out, you’re sitting on his lap, listening to him edit some track:3

hannah still gags everytime you two make eye contact but hey, we love a supportive tsundere bestie <3

lee minho

since jyp’s wifi and electricity are always going out, you, an engineering major, do chan a favor and fix it while your in the building (;)), this means, someone is constantly messing with the lights while minho is trying to practice

as a fan who’s also one of chan’s closest friends, you could positively say, chris was equally as annoyed with the wifi situation as stay are

you happen to be studying engineering and learning about electricity, smoldering, and such, is kinda part of the skill set;

soooo, you, bless your soul, sit with chan during his lives, and whenever he sends you a text or drops any hints, you fix the wifi for him

the whole lights going out business was kinda new, but hey, it’s jypapi what else is to be excepted

and so, whenever you go to fix it, you’ve got to mess with the lights for like a solid 10 minutes!! super tiring but anything to see chan go from :( —> :D right?

wrong. (well no ofc not but yk-) minho fucking hates those 10 minutes with a passion !!

“who’s the little bitch that’s messing with the lights again, huh>:( i thought the among us hype was over”

“i got the imposter!” “hyunjin sHUT UP”

istg this boy would rather dance in darkness smh

he’s complained to hyunjin and jisung about it plenty of times

but never to chan, come on, the man’s stressed enough already!! (awww caring minho everyone:))) )

i luv sungie and jinnie w/ all my heart ofc but….

they didn’t exactly give him the best advice?

perspective thing ig-

either way, it ended with minho lurking in one of the supply closets, waiting for the culprit you to show up

“AHA you little fucker”, “e-excuse me?…”, “….aren’t you chan’s friend?”, “aren’t you skz’s minho?….”

awkward to say the least ^^;;

“so let me get this straight, you’re the one who’s been playing irl among us? to help chan?? you’re the one who’s not letting me dance in peace???”

“i-, yes? no? how does one answer this correctly?”

n e wayysss, chan came to look for you cause it’s been like 20 minutes at this point lol

your korean is pretty good, but minho doesn’t know that >:)

“형... 그 친구가 정말 예뻐요” // (“hyung… your friend is really pretty”

chan: o-o —> ;)

you: o-o —> :o —> :>

minho: -^-?? —> ಠ_ಠ —> (@_@)

“thank you~” “fuck-”

suddenly minho doesn’t mind irl among us

he definitely doesn’t take you to am meet his cats as an apology. psshh who’d do that hahaha…

o-o

anyways! y’all chill now

and dating sksjksja-

seo changbin

you and jeongin have been friends for a while now; you needed to improve your korean, and he felt too shy to practice his english with his hyung’s. changbin and you have never really clicked, but when push comes to shove and he breaks chan’s laptop, he desperately needs you to fix it for him

“y/n… why don’t you like hyung? he’s super goofy once you get to know him! have you seen him and felix hyung do aegyo?”

*sigh*

it’s not that you ‘hated’ changbin per se, you two just…. don’t mesh well?

you had immense respective for changbin, though. you liked him a lot as a stay, before you met jeongin; of course now you still thought his talents were incredible, but as a friend? yikes…

bin shared your sentiments; he too thought it was crazy how you could study two such a difficult majors at the same time, in a foreign country, AND befriend jeongin, (he was lowkey jealous since you guys became friends faster than he did)

and yet still, something was off?

he knew deep down, he had not been trying nearly hard enough, but after you had given up, he didn’t see a point in trying either

jeongin, bless his little soul, really does try to make it work!

but it usually just ends with either of you leaving or avoiding each other and hanging out with other members that were present

you’ve contemplated pretending to be friends for i.n’s sake, but you felt it would be disingenuous:((

one fine afternoon, while you were translating and helping jeongin pronounce some of the lines he wanted to say during their upcoming concert:

“oh thank god, y/n! i need your help, please!”

jeongin ofc is like ^^ “psst y/n! he’s asking you for help! go bond!!” (spolier alert: i.n knew you found him kinda cute, and bby does not know how to whisper:D)

you smiled awkwardly and were like?? ‘changbin never looks this disheveled’ :((

“you okay? you seem kinda off”, you were mostly just confused

until he pulls out a 7/11 plastic bag, with want looked to be chan’s laptop

“yep, that’ll do it…”

jeongin gasps, “hyung!!! he’s gonna kill you if be finds out!”

“exactly, so unless you want me dead, and skz to be a 7 member group, please don’t tell him”, he murmurs out, (bby’s just a lil embarrassed)

you nod, understand; “i’m not even gonna ask, but you’re pretty lucky i double major, and i know how to do this…”

“i’ll treat you to literally anything, just please, save my head”

you grinned, it was cute getting to see this side of him for once:))

“no worries changbin, i’ve got this”

*cue jeongin and changbin starting at you, and occasionally leaning over in fear*

after a solid 4 hours, and two coffee breaks, you had successfully fixed his laptop!

“try running it first”, you chucked at his cheers

“his password is ‘bang-chris’ and his date of birth”, changbin sighed playfully, wiping away the tears

“and to think he’s technically still gen-z”, you played along, entering

he took you out for dinner, and an evening walk after that as a thank you, definitely no other reasons

he uh certainly didn’t think it was cute how a stubborn strand if your hair would continuously fall into your face, or how you’d puff your cheeks in frustration every once in a while, ahem.

jeongin, in typical maknae fashion, teases the crap out of you two 24/7

but you two are good now! and pinning after each other, but yk!

also, chan never found out? like?? sir there’s a massive dent on the bottom but okay?

“hyung’s getting old, he needs glasses now…” “jeongin, what-”, “it’s best you don’t know”

hwang hyunjin

you a felix are the best of friends! you and hyunjin on the other hand, just don’t get along, plain and simple. y’all can’t be a room together for more than 5 minutes before breaking out into a cat fight, and honestly, the members are tired of it

it’s really not all that deep; you and hyunjin just don’t like each other

whenever you go to see lix, it’s become normal to hear some sort of passing snarky remark, some statement about what you’re wearing or your personality, anything really

felix was at a loss, after all, hyunjin usually just dips when he doesn’t like someone, so why was he like this with you?

jisung and chan were almost certain he liked you

“oh come on, look at the way he’s looking at them! besides, hyunjin hating you is actually scary…”, jisung shivers, thinking back to their pre-debut days

felix agrees, “y/n’s probably just giving back the same energy… muhahaha my time to play cupid”

grins for like an entire day looking like —> >:]

the reason was he was acting like this towards someone he clearly liked, was unclear to them

but boy, were they dead set on finding und out!

and so, here you are, stuck in a closet, listening to a smug changbin twirl the keys, the threat of keeping you locked in there until you spoke to each other on his lips

not only that, but there’s like… no room there

so you’re basically laying side to side and on top of each other-

ten minutes in, you stop trying to shuffle around (thank god cause jinnie was strUGGLING), and felix, who was obviously tired of the silence:

“oh my god play 20 questions or something, jeez!”, minho chimed in happily, “we came for the tea, so give us some already!!!!!”

hyunjin got tired of the whining, “so uh… what do you do in your free time?”

you raised an eyebrow, “i… i like listening to music i guess?”, you gave a generic answer, not really wanting to open up to him like this

“seriously? i can’t think of anything duller…”, hyunjin rolled his eyes

on the inside he was dy!! ing!! his fingers itched to show you the playlist he has made you a few weeks back, but a) he was wayyy too shy for that, and b) moving was not a good idea right now

you huffed, rolling your eyes back, not that he could see, “i can…”

felix roared in laughter, clapping his hands a bit, “they got you there jinnie”

hyunjin suppressed a grin, he always liked how much of a smart ass you were

“tch… whatever…”, he leans in, breath hot on your ears, “let’s talk outside, hmm?”

DEFINITELY KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING KSSKSHSJ-

after getting your agreement, he spoke up, “guys, we’ll talk, promise. just let us talk in a… less cramped space”

you guys end up talking all night in his room, and you realize he’s no too bad

after, the two of you do hang out separately from the boys a few times before he confesses (shows you the playlist) and asks you out

“and i thought minho hyung was a tsundere….”, seungmin shook his head

“ew, i miss when my bestie didn’t have their tongue down their my other besties throat”, felix sighs

definitely a cute couple; unexpected, but cute for sure <3

han jisung

getting an intern position at jyp was fantastic; not only have you gotten to meet and close to one of your favorite groups, but you guys even hang out privately now. jisung has always been skeptical of your intentions, especially after finding out you’re a stay. when hate posts start to spread on social media, containing only information a staff member would know, he suspects you

“i wanna grab take out before going home, join us? or are you still feeling sick?”, felix asked, side hugging changbin

jisung rolled his eyes at this

why were they asking you this? aren’t you a little too close to the guys for just being a simple college student intern?

sure, he was impressed at the fact that you managed to put up with chan’s insomnia ridden schedule

and of course being able to run to three separate locations to get the boy’s coffee could not go unmentioned

that being said, he still felt it was unprofessional of you to hang out with them separately

part of him hope you weren’t ill intentioned; that and you’re super attractive, like super super attractive and exactly his type sooooo

but another felt as though you were abusing your close contact to them for personal gain;

ofc he couldn’t be sure, and so he tried not to judge you preemptively

did that work??? not really.

but a+ for effort right:)

last week had been great! you went out with felix and changbin to eat, chan had shown you a small preview of their new title track, and even hyunjin had offered to teach you a choreo you’d been shying away from for years

all was well, and you with school giving you a little break, you’d rarely felt better!

when you came in on monday, chaos was high at jyp

apparently someone had leaked private videos of the boy

nothing crazy, thank god, like them changing, but it was clear the boys had not consented to them

along with the images and footage, dates of upcoming events and two of the manager’s numbers were leaked

chan was furious to say the least, and he immediately called you to help him analyze the images/videos, hoping you’d catch something he and the other staff hadn’t

“why did you call them? it was probably their fault this leaked”, jisung huffed at chan, upset the lyrics he’d worked so hard on were captured on video

chan’s eyes widened, “oi, han jisung, aren’t you going a bit far?”, he pulls up a portion of the footage, “y/n was sick that day, remember? this was the photo shoot they missed. plus, they’ve never spoken to manager kim or cho. you’re way out of line here”.

jisung followed the leader’s gaze, noting that indeed, the day he had been forced to cosplay as a red highlighter, you were missing

(secretly he was thankful, he was kind of embarrassed at the fish nets top)

“s-shit… y/n, look-”

rolling your eyes you cut him off, “this isn’t where you guys normally get your make up done, no?”

chan nods, not quite following

“see the balloons in the back? maybe if we zoom in, we can at least get a glimpse of the person. and if i remember correctly, this room was going to be used for itzy; in that hallway there should be cctv footage available on both ends”, you spoke, pulling up the map you had initially made on your ipad not to get lost, but eventually just developed as a pass time.

he grinned, high-fiving you, “you’re a godsend y/n!”

to make a long story short; one of the external staff members had recorded and leaked the footage, so you were, obviously, in the clear.

legal charges would be pressed for multiple contractual violations but you had gotten praised and thanked for your quick thinking

“the police would’ve probably never gotten to actually taking a look at the footage”, one of the managers laughed, “but now i have an excuse to buy a new phone without my wife being too upset”

things were going well!

jisung on the other hand felt like shit:(

acting out like that was so unlike him; hyunjin even joked about not having seen him talk like that since their pre-debut days, to which han just :< —> :(((

with the help of chan, he eventually gets you alone and apologizes sincerely

he had come to the conclusion that part of his “hatred” towards you was fumed by genuine fear for skz’s wellbeing,

but the other part was the fear that he had of being rejected by you

“why didn’t you just so?”, you had accepted his apology, but you did want to get him back just a bit

“i don’t know jisung, you’re kinda asking a lot of me right now. a date? hmmm”

he just, @-@, “okay, i understand…”

after laughing at him you eventually do agree to go out together with him:))) and he just goes full anime blush you jaksjsk-

lee felix

felix has always been a super affectionate and cuddly person, especially with chan; but lately, he’s been spending an awful lot of time with you, and felix can’t help but resent you for it just a tiny bit

felix is not a bad person, he never wishes harm on anyone, you included

and as angel-like as he may look, he’s still a person like everyone else, and prone to jealousy at times

“sorry lix, looks like we’ll have to watch that movie another time!”, “aww sorry felix, hannah, y/n, and i are going to a concert”, “my bad lixie, i already have a hang out planned with y/n tonight, and i might sleep over… but we can talk tomorrow!”

chan, his honorary older brother, had been dipping on him a little (lot) more than usual

but he couldn’t blame him! he hadn’t seen you in a while

felix had been introduced to you, and he thought you were amazing in every conceivable way!!

he almost disliked you for it, or so it seemed to you when he avoided you religiously

felix’s jealousy stemmed from his own insecurities; he felt as though chan and you were both incredible!

you could make him laugh so easily! shouldn’t he be the one doing that? after spending so many years with chan???

these days his insecurities often get the best of him, especially since he already wasn’t feeling the best

was he really that unlovable? ‘of course, channie deserves someone better…’

lix would never want to make you someone, especially chan, feel bad for having friends and being close to them; his jealousy made him want to curl up into a ball and hide, so he did

even you could tell something was up with him

chris was running late, so, as per usual, you waited in his studio

“hyung! have you see-, oh… sorry…”, felix backs out slowly, voice lower than usual

you’re like:(( why you no like me sir ㄱ(-^-)

“wait! uh i know it’s not really my place to ask but… are you okay?”

after a lil bit of pushing, he eventually sits down with you and admits to feeling just a littttle jealous

“sorry if i made you feel weird, not cool…”

you shake your head, “no worries. would you uhm like to hang out with us today maybe?”

now it’s chan who doesn’t get to see lix and you any more dkshsk-

you both got super close!! as time passed, he found himself glancing at your lips a lil too long

or watching the reflection of light in your eyes with a bit too much fondness for it to be considered platonic

you end up asking him on a date after getting a chris style pep talk, and boom

two cuties are now going out together:)))

kim seungmin

seungmin has always been observant, and he can’t help but feel that you’re bubbly nature was a bit too unprofessional as a staff member; on the other hand, his “rudeness” and disinterest in most things, made you feel uneasy. the lack of communication seems to act as a catalyst for plenty of arguments…

“would it kill you to shut up?”, he huffed

“would it kill to take that stick out of your ass?”, you whispered back, “and i thought retail was bad…”

you and seungmin always argue

it’s like;;;; a natural law almost

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

stoichiometry is ass (lowkey kinda fun though-)

n you and puppy boy can’t get off each other’s backs

chan would always laughed about it

he knew that although this job was only part time for you, you were meticulous

you go y/n!!

seungmin on the other hand saw you as some sort of free loader with way too much mouth

TLDR: you two couldn’t be kept in the same room without arguing

“good morning! anything i can help with?”

“could you ask her to leave please?”

the other staff awkwardly glanced at you

“have your self a wonderful day, yeah kim?

instead, you’d try to work with other members, grab them their coffee, find the right tools for the stylists, just listening to them

but of course not without the back track that is kim seungmin in the buildingggg

the bitch was indeed present and you were tired of hearing it

literally anything you’d do was too loud or spontaneous

“hey i might actually take my 15 later”

cuts off the staff, “and inconvenience everyone? how unprofessional, you’re a real piece of work y/n”

eventually, you stopped having fun at work, not wanting to argue on days where college work already piled up

“not talking today? what, cat got your tongue?”

“no, i’m doing what evolution did”

“huh?”

“ignore you”

chan frowned, it seemed like you had genuinely taken his words to heart:((

everyone knew seungmin didn’t actually care about professionalism or volume, (i mean have you met han?)

but he wanted a reason to talk to you, even if he didn’t know it himself

during their next break, chan gently guided minnie, not having deemed it necessary until now

he basically said, ‘hey lil bro we all know you think y/n is cute. maybe actually try talking to them instead of just… you know, insulting them??’

“hey uh, i got you a drink?”

“is it poisoned??”

“no?”

“you’d be doing me a favor either way… thanks i guess”

over time, you two started genuinely bonding and hanging out 1-1

eventually it just lips out that he likes you

and you’re like: :o

he’s like: :0

and when you’re like: :3

and know you two are holding hands and chan regrets ever opening his mouth:)

yang jeongin

beomgyu and you had met by coincidence, but you had clicked and kept in contact. recently, he had introduced you to his other 01z friends, among them jeongin, who wasn’t thrilled. seeing one of his fans being friends with his best friend, he can’t help but assume the worst.

beomgyu and met in a convenience store by pure coincidence

he heard you talking on the phone about not being able to find a certain snack, and boom, he hands it over to you at the speed of light

(choi beomgyu everyone <3)

it was obvious you were a moa by the keychain on your bag, but you didn’t recognize him at first

you thanked him, and offered to pay for his soda can

long story short, y’all end up getting pretty close!!

you tried not to rub being a fan of him and his friends into his face, so you only brought it up, when he did

sooner rather than later, he found you not only stan skz, but also bias i.n., aka his bestie

and because you couldn’t attend their concert, and were kinda :< about it

he plans a meeting with you, him, and the three other boys!

you refuse, not wanting to ever make gyu think that’s the reason you’re friends with him

but he decided to just not tell you and invite you over after that!

master mind beomgyu strikes again;)

and you’d think nothing could go wrong, right?

afterall, you guys are at HYBE, behind closed doors, there’s plenty of food, and the boys arr chill, riiiight?

EHHHHN WRONG

see, jeongin wasn’t taking well to the whole idea

to be fair, gyu did tell him, but he forgot they wouldn’t be alone

he watched as you spoke to gyu, how you guys had inside jokes, or how he knew just what type of snacks you liked

you were, without a doubt cute, but, what were your true intention?

“i don’t know beomgyu, isn’t they’re a bit… too nice?”, “jeongin, what-”

he frowns at you the entire night, ignoring any and all of your attempts to have small talk or pleasantries

shrugging him off, you focus on having a good time with your friend

later, after coming back to the bathroom, you over hear jeongin talking to gyu again:

“can’t you see they’re just using you beomgyu? it’s obvious they wants in on this-, this lifestyle, whatever you want to call him”

you huff, shaking your head at him: “shouldn’t you trust your friend’s judgement just a little more?”

he’s kinda stunned, but doesn’t relent, “no, i’m just being careful”

he was right somehow, but still, you scoffed, “be careful all you want then, i’m not sticking around”

and you leave &-&

you being the good friend you are, send a message to gyu on your way home, thanking him and apologizing for how the night ended, eventhough it wasn’t exactly your fault

gyu shows jeongin the texts he had where you told him you didn’t want to meet

jeongin is like:< “b-but i thought-, was i mean?… oh no:((((”

so, he asks gyu for your number to apologize

‘this is yang jeongin’

‘i was wanted to apologize for yesterday, i was out of line…’

‘could i treat you to something as an apology?’

that’s how you guys end up in the jyp cafeteria, (away from the eyes of dispatch lmfao), with iced matcha and a piece of cake!!

“so, i heard i’m your bias”, “jeongin, shUT THE-”

all’s well that ends well!!

jeongin does take you out a few times after that, as… ‘friends’

but after a few months he does eventually ask you out on a date:D he was a lil shy but yk~

i think that everyone is and will be babying ezra and its the cutest thing ever☹️he js just their precious little thing

He’s everyone’s little baby. He needs an extra little love at all times.

also this turned from him to a briar blurbs idk enjoy

Harry and YN are in the kitchen, prepping dinner when four-year-old, Briar toddles in with six-year-old brother by the hand.

“Ezzie’s sad,” She squeaks, tugging her tearful brother along to their parents, “Cash was hiding an’ scared him!”

“Oh bubba,” YN hums, setting down the knife and squatting down so he can run into her arms and she hefts him up, “Tell me your feelings, baby.”

“I’m sad because he hid behind the couch and then yelled at me,” Ezra replies, sniffling as he speaks and nuzzles into his mom’s neck.

Next thing they know, Cash, is racing in with tears in his eyes as well and a furrowed brow, “Briar needs a time out!”

“Oh?” Harry asks with amusement, Briar glares at her brother in betrayal.

“No!” The little girl screeches with a foot stomp.

Cash returns the evil look, “Bry hit me with a book!”

“It’s ‘cause you scared Ezzie!” She huffs angrily, reaching over to smack him on his shoulder with frustration.

Harry steps in, reaching down to lightly grasp his daughter’s wrist, “Absolutely not. We do not hit, d’you understand?”

“He scared Ezzie!” She repeats, tries to wriggle away, using her other hand to smack her father’s arm with a pout.

“No, daddy!” Ezra whines, agitated with his little sister, as Cash watches in surprise with how she’s acting.

“Alright, c’mon. Step, now,” His voice is firm, his lips tight as Briar protests passionately.

Briar shakes her head and her father has to hold back a laugh because she makes the same grimace that his wife makes when she’s angry.

“Get y’bum on the step, if daddy has t’ask you again then you’re not going to Nana’s tomorrow with y’brothers.”

And well…YN can’t help but drool at little bit.

There was something about when Harry was parenting that was so attractive to her.

“Daddy,” Briar’s face drops in distress, “Want t’go to Nana’s. Mama?”

YN shakes her head, “Listen to your dad and go to the step with him, yes?”

She lets out a kittenish whine before stomping off to the staircase with her father in tow.

Harry gives Briar a little talk about how she needs to let them parent and she isn’t responsible for punishing Cash or protecting Ezra - that’s their job.

“Mama, m’sad,” Ezra tells his mother in the kitchen as she pops him onto a stool before patting the other one for Cash to climb up.

“Tell Cash,” She encourages her youngest boy.

“I don’t like when you scare me, it makes me cry,” Ezra tells his brother with a pout, his little arms crossed.

Cash huffs, unwilling to apologize, “I was just joking around!”

“It’s not funny!” Ezra returns back at him.

“You know he doesn’t like when you do that, Cash. If you do it again, you also aren’t gonna go to Nana’s. Now apologize, yes?”

At the threat of not going to Anne’s, he frowns but looks over and sighs, “I’m sorry I scared you.”

“S’okay. You play babies with me?” Ezra asks hopefully with bright eyes.

“Yeah, I’ll will,” His older brother agree, helping him off the stool.

YN squat down and pulls Cash into a big hug, “Sucha good big brother, Cashy. Thank you, baby.”

His bright green eyes lose the sadness at his mothers warm words and hugs back before trotting off with Ezra’s hand in his.

YN calls after them, “Are you okay, Ez?”

“Yes mama,” He chirps before scampering down the hall towards the playroom.

YN steps out to the foyer where Harry is standing with his arms crossed over his broad chest and his daughter is sat on the stair still.

“Uh oh, why are you still on the step?” She asks her daughter who is glaring at her father with daggers of anger.

“Daddy’s mean,” Briar tells her mother, she has one shoe in her hand and the other one is lying limply on the floor by her father’s feet.

She chucks the second one at her father, hitting him lightly in the thigh, and then it drops next to the other one.

“She throws like her daddy, I’ll give her tha’,” Harry mutters before he’s giving his daughter a stern expression, “You are not goin’ t’Nana’s anymore. We do not ever throw things at other people to hurt them, Briar Anne Styles.”

And YN again, just drooling at her husband being a father.

It ends up with a ear-shattering screech and an onslaught of tears, “No dada, no!”

“You threw a book at Cash and shoes at me, after y’already got put on tha’ stair. No Nana’s,” He repeats but YN can see his facade faltering a bit because he struggled to discipline his baby girl.

Briar absolutely screams bloody murder, turning to start to run up the long staircase but both parents hearts pound because she could get hurt.

“Briar Anne!” Harry bellows in frustration, taking the steps quickly to snatch her around the middle and carry her back down.

“Mama, mama, mama,” The toddler chants in hopes of being saved from the situation.

“C’mon, we’re going to go sit in the kitchen, okay? You, me, and daddy,” YN hums, brushing the tears from her hot cheeks.

When Briar is sat on the countertop, a sippy cup of water in her hands, and a sad tint in her facial features.

“I think you owe your father an apology for hitting him with your shoes,” YN encourages, standing next to her with a knowing look.

Harry’s eyes had softened now, stress level coming down, and he murmurs, “I’m waitin’, baba.”

“M’sorry, daddy,” She lisps out quietly, a shutter of her chest and tears start falling again, “Love you, love you.”

“Oh, no tears. C’mon, lil’ mama,” He pouts, can’t help but pick her up and cradle her with a few kisses to her curls, “We need t’use our words when we’re mad, yes? Like Ezzie, we don’t hurt others.”

She nods into his neck, “Sad I’m not going to Nana’s.”

“You know for next time now, smart girl,” He reassures her, they were always firm and didn’t give empty threats so she would have to stay home and she knew it.

“Love you,” Briar sniffles to Harry, hand twining into his locks and holding there to keep him close to her.

“I love you,” He tells her firmly, “Always gonna be m’baby.”

I miss her too

Pairings: Dad!Tom Holland x reader

Summary: Your and Tom’s daughter comes home having made something at school, for you. She desires to share it with you any way possible.

Warnings: sad, typos, mentions of death

Word Count: 1.3K

A/n: I’m back. Hoping to start part 2 to Guns, Glamour and Goodfellas. This a short blurb or possible one shot, whatever you call it. Still new to this. Wrote this spur the moment. Flashbacks are in bold.

Tom made it a priority to have dinner every night with his daughter, Poppy. It was a tradition that you reinforced. One that Tom liked to keep around even after. You would cook all these elaborate meals And Tom tries to live up to your cooking skills but would ultimately fail and seek the help of Sam.

Tom set the table and served Poppy as she sat at table, swinging her legs back and forth. There, sat the 5 year old girl, across from Tom. He watched her as she fiddled with her fork, just rearranging the veggies on her plate, not bothering to eat.

“So love, how was daycare?” Tom inquired curbing as he watched his daughter fiddle with her fork, just rearranging the veggies on her plate, not bothering to eat.

“We made cards for mumma’s day,” Poppy explained all giddy inside.

“Mother’s day?” Tom asked, his mind drifting elsewhere. He couldn’t believe it was already May and it was the first one without you.

“Yes, mine has pretty flowers on it. Wanna see it?” Poppy grew excited she practically jumped out of her chair.

“Sure baby doll, you can show me after dinner,” Tom murmured, still caught up on the fact that it was almost 5 months since.

“I’ll go get it!”

“Poppy wait, wash your hands first, please.” Tom called out but knew Poppy would carry on just like before. That girl marched to the beat of her own drum but Tom indulged in every beat. She is the spitting image of you.

“Here, look I wrote something.” She said holding the card up in front of him. It was adorned with glitter and stickers. Pink construction paper, pink flowers and pink doodles. Pink was Poppy’s favorite color, everything was pink from her shoes to her hair bows.

“C’mere lovie, show me,” Tom whispered, pulling her into her lap. “Darling this is so beautiful. What did you write?”

“It says, happy mumma’s day mumma. I love you soooooo much. I miss you too, so does dadda. We miss you.” She said with her faint lisp.

Tom listened to his daughter struggle to get the words out. Focusing on her breathing as she sounded out most words. He tried to only focus on that. Not letting his mind to stray to place he has been avoiding for a few months.

Next week marks the time stamp of living 5 months without you. Without your smile in the morning. Without your laugh that was so infectious at the time it would make your newborn giggle til she was burdened with a case of the hiccups. Without your love.

Life grew darker and sadder, but Tom didn’t give himself the chance to grieve. Too busy worrying about the life you both brought into the world. The girl that lite up his life was his only priority. Everything changed when his beautiful and amazing family of three became a two.

Tom now rarely took jobs outside of London, wanting to stay close for Poppy. He felt guilty always leaving her with his parents all the time. No one really knows how kids at the age process a loss but he hoped Poppy would remember all the amazing moments of you.

Ones that held a special place in his heart were right after the sun had risen. Poppy’s wake up calls.

She did the same thing since he can remember. Always busting through the door in the morning. Jumping on t bed then begging for food. It was good thing you were a morning person.

One time when you were weaker than you had ever been, she jumped right on top of you.

“Mumma! Dadda! Wake up!” You were jolted out of sleep from a shock that rang through your fragile frame. You gasped at the sudden body slammed on top of yours.

“Poppy Marie Holland! What did we talk about being careful with mommy? Honey are you okay?” Tom shouted quietly.

“I’m ok, Tom. I really am,” you said breathlessly.

“I’m sorry Mumma, I didn’t mean to hurt you,” Poppy whispered.

“It’s ok baby, c’mere. So what did you dream about my flower,” you said, pulling her into your lap as you peppered kisses all over her face. Giggles erupted as you pressed a finger to her nose.

“Well I dreamt of…” Poppy would trail off to these fantastical dreams. It amazes you how she could think such imaginative scenes.

Every morning was like that. Different topics of conversation but always began with a dose of Poppy bright and early.

Even after everything. It was a grad adjust for her. One minute you were there and next you weren’t.

Tom’s nightly routine shifted. Every night he would go to sleep dreaming of you. Dreaming of the life you were supposed to share. And every morning he would wake up with tears in his eyes as he felt the empty side of the bed.

Desperately trying to bring himself back to the place with you in it. It was a gut punch every morning, always coming to the realization that you were gone.

However, like clockwork he is reminded of the one shining star in his life as she bursts into his room and hops on the bed. Jumping up and down to get him to wake up.

“Dadda, wake up. Wake up!” Poppy shouted as she waddled up to the bed, trying to climb on. Her nightgown was a little too big, but she wore it because you had.

“Daddy’s awake lovie. Just one second.” Tom jolted, brushing the wetness from his eyes.

“Come on, I want pancakes,” Poppy pleaded.

“Pancakes huh? Mommy’s specialty with Mnm’s inside?” Tom reminisced at all the mornings of breakfast together as a full family.

“Ya, can momma make them?” Poppy asked, it was hard for her to understand the events that just occurred. Tom wasn’t very good at explaining it either. The most he could muster up, is mommy’s not here anymore.

Leaving out the word “dead” or “passed away” was denying the truth from him as well. It was all too new and he didn’t know how he could accept it just yet.

“Lovie, we have talked about this remember? Mommy is not here anymore.”

“When will she be back? I miss her.”

“Umm, darling mommy is never coming back, remember baby. I told you mommy had to leave but wasn’t her choice. Lovie, I miss her too everyday,” Tom said, holding back tears.

“Dadda?” Spoke Poppy as she noticed the wet streaks across Tom’s face. Trying to bring attention back to her.

“Yes, baby.” Tom said, coming out of his trance. Tears riddled his face as he thought of all the stuff that Poppy will miss out on. More specially what you will never get to experience with her.

“Why are you sad Dadda? Did I make you sad?” Poppy asked, trying to comfort Tom the best way she knows how.

“Oh no darling. Not at all.”

“Are you sad because you miss mumma?” Poppy mumbled, her eyes getting stuck to the ground.

Tom just nodded and pressing soft kisses to her forehead. He could only hold back so many tears.

“I miss her too. You never go to the place anymore where you talk to her. I want to talk to her like you do,” Poppy pleaded.

“Lovie what place?”

“The one with the statues. You never take me anymore. We only went twice with nana. But no more,” Poppy said as she started to cry along with him.

“The cemetery?” Tom asked.

She nodded, sniffing away the tears. “Mumma misses us like we miss her. I don’t want her to think we forgot about her. I made the card because. I want to give her my card. Can we go?”

“Yes baby, I’ll take you. I promise you, you’ll never forget her. I even have videos I can show you later with her in them,” Tom explained.

“Dadda I love you,” Poppy said wrapping her hand around his neck.

“I love you too, my flower.”

MANAGER!SEIJOH AU

a/n: this is kind of an au like what if you were

for more seijoh content, check this masterlist out!

anon:

- 🥺👉🏻👈🏻 i would like to request a seijoh!manager reader who’s a first year and is siblings with ushi and the team’s reaction to finding out that she was supposed to go to shiratorizawa with ushi and their reaction with her getting along with the shiratorizawa volleyball team and maybe the manager is a small cute soft little energetic ball of sunshine 🥺🥺 also hewwo, hope youre doing well! ☺️ -🎷🐛

- Ir seijoh manager series is so gooood. Can we get something where by some weird reason yn-chan is close to ushijima and tendou and the seijoh boys dont know about it and how they'd react to her being so affectionate w them ahahwindkdn

EVERYONE SHUT UP AND LOOK AT HOW FREAKING PRETTY TENDOU IS LIKE AKLFDJLASKFJDLSKFJDSFLKD

okayokayokay

so this is a what if thing

like what if ushijima was your older brother

SLKFDJADFLIJSDKLDF I CAN ALREADY IMAGINE OIKAWA SCREAMING

you didnt exactly have the best relationship with your mom

you remember when you were younger that she used to yell at your brother for using his left hand and you got angry a lot because you were fiercely protective of your brother

this caused her to yell at you too for being nosy and being involved in something you shouldnt be in

duh we know that ushi’s dad takashi actually supported him for this and protected him too and you were also a papa’s girl so you always ran to him

he understood you both better and while your mother worked, he was at home taking care of you two

then when they mentioned wanting to separate, you were very sad but somewhat relieved

mostly because you hated hearing your parents arguing and you felt bad for your brother as he constantly did whatever to get you out of the house

thats what brought on your love for volleyball

you werent exactly the best player but you were interested in it and often watched matches with him

but you also liked volleyball because your brother liked it

you liked whatever your brother liked

he adored you too and he was a boy who didnt talk much due to your mother but he was always a talker with you

especially when you couldnt sleep, he would sneak you out of your room and you both would run to the kitchen and eat ice cream

even with just a 2 year age difference, he looked as if he was older than you due to his massive height

‘just wait nii-chan! i will drink enough milk to reach your height!’

*insert lenny face*

AKLDJFSLDKFJDF I HATE MYSELF

CAN I PLEASE DIE

however

when they divorced, you thought your father would take both you and ushi

like the lady at the court even asked you where you wanted to go and not a breath of hesitation you chose your father

you weren’t very concerned because you knew your brother was going to choose your dad as you both were closer to him

so imagine your surprise when he said he didnt care and naturally, the mother would get the child

lowkey you felt hella betrayed and when your dad whisked you away overseas, there was this grudge you held against toshi

yall youre like 5

i would be hella mad too if my brother chose the person who yells at him all the time

in california, your father made sure you still remembered your brother and you tried to detach from the japanese lifestyle to your new one but you just couldnt

maybe around 6 years you were already fed up with the hot california heat and you wanted to go back to japan to see toshi again

you got over that grudge years ago but your mother refused to have any contact or anything to do with your father and so that included you too

she refused to let you both video chat and any type of connection

your dad obviously noticed your sad expressions and your obvious longing to go back to your brother again and so he arranged something

you shut the door gently before taking off your shoes by the doorway

the large house was often quiet except for the constant typing of a keyboard in your father’s study

‘tadaima’

you meekly mumbled but his sense of hearing never wavered so he heard your voice

‘oh? y/n?’

his voice echoed through the hallways and you heard his chair squeak as it was moved back so he could stand

your sock-cladded feet padded against the hard wood floor and you walked towards his study where indeed he was standing there

your father has definitely aged yet his job as a coach made him as fit as he was decades ago

as much as it disgusted you, you could tell what your friends meant when they said your dad was good-looking

they actually said your dad was hot but you refuse to acknowledge that

you and your friends are like 12 tf

you closed the door and sat down on the loveseat at the corner of the room as it was your designated spot

‘hey, papa’

you greeted with a smile and he gave you the same grin

‘i ordered f/f (favorite food) for dinner tonight so try and listen for the bell to ring, okay?’

you nodded

there was bit of small talk and you asked about his team while he asked about school and you both arranged to hang out over the weekend at some ice cream shop

the conversation dragged on until you heard the doorbell and you ran to the door to answer the delivery man

your dad put out the plates on the table and you excitedly dug in

‘also, you remember your grandmother? and her terrible back?’

oh god of course you did

they lived about 30 minutes away from your house in japan and she constantly worried your father bc the woman was approaching 90 and was still picking peppers!

with old coach ukai

‘what did she do now?’

your father chuckled at the exasperation in your voice

‘she misses you. says something about the family’s princess needing to go back to her country or something’

there was a smile in your face

your grandmother was your favorite and she always said you were the princess

she hated your mother because of how insensitive she was so she only acknowledged you as the only other female in the family

obviously your brother was also liked but there was just a special bond between you and your grandmother

‘so when are we going back?’

you asked and it was clear that you were excited at the thought of going back to japan as you havent been back since you moved due to your father’s busy job and your school

takashi swallowed his food before revealing the news

‘actually, if you want, you could finish your schooling there. but only until college first though because your old man needs you over here too’

nah bro you didnt even care about the last part

literally your fork fell to the table and you shrieked

‘WHAT?! SERIOUSLY?!’

and thus brought you back to japan

you stayed with your grandmother on your dad’s side and you quickly got accustomed back to japan life

your BROTHER!

okay

so waka-chan def heard you coming back

your mother was grumbling about it the other day and he was sure he heard your name in there

‘sdkfjkdslfjdkslfj y/n dkfjlsdkfjldkf’

LMAO THATS ME TRYING TO SAY THAT WAKA COULDNT UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE SAID SINCE SHE WAS MUMBLING SHE WASNT KEYBOARD SMASHING LMAO

there was a mutual giddiness in there too and he was excited to see you again after many years without contact

however

there was a bit of fear in there that thought back to when you were younger and his choice of not really having a specific parent despite your pleads to stay together with him

but he was going to make sure your bond was still intact!

he would do anything in his power to do so!

when you arrived

your dad accompanied you back to japan and you both were walking out to the exit of the airport when you saw your grandmother excitedly waving a sign around

in bold sparkly letters, it said ‘USHIJIMA’

okay wait i love grandma usui

you quickly ran over to her and she grasped you into her arms

‘nana’

you sobbed and she hugged you tightly

‘im so happy youre back home’

your father shook hands with the friend she brought to help drive you guys back home

old man ukai was basically the chauffeur but hes really good friends with your nana so it was okay

the entire ride you guys basically caught up with each other and you couldnt help but laugh whenever your dad would go on a rant about your grandma being too reckless and your nana defending herself

‘oh stop it, takashi. i was only given one life and if it’s over, it’s over. for now, ill live it how i see fit!’

your old family home was exactly as you remember it but you didnt expect the 6′2 boy in the living room

‘nii-chan’

you meekly whispered and he let out a soft smile before opening his big arms

you ran into them and he held you tightly

‘i missed you. so much’

he whispered and you nodded

it was def such a nice thing to have your brother again

oooo your dad been knew that you would be sticking to waka like you did when you were itty bitty young

so when you practically begged waka to stay at your nana’s house the entire summer, he couldnt refuse you

duh your mom went to see you but you just quietly sat there and smiled at her

polite but distant

due to being around waka so much, you naturally went to his volleyball practices and their training camp

there

you met his friends and you guys quickly got acquainted especially with tendo bc he was just so fun

and he was your brother’s boyfriend best friend

the others were still kinda distant with you ahem ahem im looking at you shirabu

but they were mostly amazed at how powerful the genetics played in your appearances because wowza you were beautiful

lmao dont let waka hear them say that bc they would be benched all season in a single snap

during training camp, you usually sat at the sides or you would be their stand-in manager

goshiki absolutely LOVES you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOSHIKI MY SON MY BABY

him and you were the same age so there was an easier way of being friends and your energies just matched so well

he would run up to you whenever he got a play right and you would ruffle his hair affectionately

LADKSJFLDSKFS FLASHBACK TO TENDO!SISTER X GOSHIKI

‘y/n-chan!’

hell even ushi was getting annoyed at goshiki’s constant need for you

tendo would steal you away and he would be giggling to you about how adorable you were and you just giggled along bc wow this beautiful man is really talking to me right now

ALKSDJFLKSF CAN YOU TELL IM ALSO A TENDOODOO SIMP?

‘cmere, y/n-chan. i taught toshi this the other day and he was very impressed and wanted me to do it again. okay so it goes in a rhyme, ya ready?’

you nodded along and he shot you a close-eyed smile before starting to draw on the dirt with a stick

‘there once was a man with-’

lets just say

you were definitely your brother’s sister

sometimes though

you would try and go towards the calmer players to get away from the rowdiness from baby daddy tendo and baby goshiki

you would find them at the gym just doing drills and at the sight of you, they would turn red but continue playing

they didnt really mind seeing you there bc youve always been such a positive energy and cheered them on which gave them strength

‘NICE ONE OHIRA-SAN!’

‘WAHHH SO COOL YAMAYAMA-SAN!’

you were like a cute ball of serotonin >o<

‘wah, of course its expected for you guys to be the top in the prefecture. youre like,,,,, silent but deadly~!’

duh a compliment from a girl?

dead

shirabu’s bangs would get in the way of his vision sometimes yall i will never stop making fun of that ridiculously adorable haircut so you would use a clip and tuck it away for him

this big babie is so awkward that he turns red when you whisper in his ear that you were done

semisemi baby and you got along bc you guys had a similar taste in music and because you lived in california, he was fascinated that you were in the music capital of america

‘did you see celebrities down the street?’

he asked you excitedly one day during lunch

you stopped then smiled softly

‘semisemi-kun, i didnt live at that part of california’

nah to him, america is just filled with celebrities

OH DEAR BABY BOY KAWANISHI

taichi is a generally quiet guy

like you thought he was actually selectively mute when you first met him

but you gradually got him to talk and you would help him whenever he would want to practice

usually it was during the ungodly hours of the morning

you woke up and went to grab a drink from the common room but you noticed his large build exiting the door so you followed him into the gym

‘kawanishi-san?’

you called out and felt guilty when he jumped

‘oh, hey’

he aknowledged

‘wha-’

you stopped to yawn causing your eyes to close making you miss the brief second of softness that flashed in his eyes

‘what are you doing?’

you tiredly asked

taichi dusted off his trackpants after kneeling down to rummage through his bag and you couldnt help but gawk at his height

‘im training early’

he answered

‘why? is it because you want to keep up with the others?’

you mumbled and he was surprised for a second but reverted back to his stoic expression

‘i have to make sure i am able to reach my seniors level for next year’

taichi turned away to grab a stray ball and you moved to go to the storage room for the ball cart

‘oi, what are you doing? go back to bed’

he said from the other side of the gym but you just looked back at him with a tired grin

‘meh, i want to spend time with you, senpai’

you reasoned

he shook his head before walking over to you then ruffled your hair

‘no wonder youre so tiny. you dont sleep enough and let your body grow’

yep that was the closest youve gotten to taichi joking with you

usually, hes training and when hes in the zone, nothing else has his attention but the ball

maybe thats why the others ahem goshiki has said that he was very scary

his game face was practically a mean face

basically you spent the entire training camp with them and then soon, you were going back to school

duh everyone hmm maybe not shirabu bc he most definitely read the school book of rules thought you would be going to shiratorizawa with them

but you broke the news to them one afternoon and imagine the tears from both tendo and goshiki

‘WHHYYYY!!!!’

‘NOOO!!!!!’

‘why can’t you?’

semi asked and you were about to answer when shirabu beat you to it

‘the school doesnt allow late transfers’

oh right

the american school system was set in a different schedule than a japanese school system

it was considered the summer for them yet school already started a few months ago

since shiratorizawa was a very academically and physically prestigious school, they refused anyone who would potentially be late or behind their curriculum

‘so where ya headed to then, chibi?’

tendou pouted and you leaned against his arm

‘hmm some school named aoba johsai? i dont know its near my grannie’s so that’s all that mattered’

oh dear

USHIJIMA NO Y/N WILL NOT ASK TOORU TO GO TO SHIRATORIZAWA

they consider seijoh a rival bc theyve played against them practically in every prefecture tournament and they were worried for that infamous setter

‘ne, y/n-chan, promise us that you won’t be swept away by them! especially a guy named oikawa tooru!’

uhhh

well

tendou’s warning was kinda ignored bc you ended up being seijoh’s manager

hehe

surprise?

but they weren’t really really shocked tho bc they knew you liked volleyball so you would naturally be in the volleyball team

even as a manager

meanwhile in seijohhh

OooOOOoOoOooooo sEiJOOhHHHH~~~~~~

okay so you were actually registered under your father’s last name usui rather than the ushijima last name

therefore you werent exactly immediately known as HEY! USHIJIMA’S SISTER!

you still became the manager the way you did as mentioned in part 1

and you still are their adorable baby manager

you were aware of their oikawa’s hatred for wakawaka so you try not to talk about him even though youre literally the closest person to him

was it traitorous?

maybe

but you actually even help them when they practice

duh the boys are like eyebrow raise emoji

‘wow youre really into volleyball, huh, manager-chan?’

matsukawa commented and you just smiled

‘hmm, my family likes it so ive picked up a thing or two’

LMAO

little do they know your brother is literally the best volleyball player around and is a member of the under 19 team and your father is a volleyball coach in america and would someday be someone iwaizumi hajime (19) would apprentice under

there was a lot of times you thought you would slip up like your home screen was of you and waka but youve been careful to cover it up

BUT

you cant always be sneaky

it was during the first day of the tournament and you were filling up their water bottles I SWEAR WHY IS MANAGER-CHAN ALWAYS FILLING UP WATER BOTTLES when you found a familiar bunch of boys at the end of the hallway just chatting

you havent seen tendou and the boys in so long so you placed the bottles down and rushed over there so quickly

‘TOMUTOMU!’

you shouted and the oddly-haired boy turned and he gasped before grabbing you into a large hug

this grabbed tendou’s attention and he cheered then hugged you too

your giggles and happy cheers were so infectous and they just absolutely missed you so much

these tall boys were at a advantage so someone scooped you up and you were just affectionately being talked to and hugged and LKDSJFSLDFJ SO LUCKY SO LOVED

meanwhile

the plant babies were wondering where the heck you went to

‘y/n-chan?! where is she?!’

oikawa panicked quickly while iwaizumi hit him to shut up

‘be quiet! you won’t find her if you’re too busy freaking out!’

‘ill find her’

matsukawa volunteered and they nodded, feeling at ease of him being capable to find you if you were in trouble

but when he returned empty-handed and with large eyes, they knew something was up

they ran behind mattsun to stop and copy his shocked expression at the sight in front of them

is that

you?

with

shi

oh my god

‘y/n-chan!’

oikawa shouted, being the first to speak

you jumped and your own eyes widened

‘oh. oh no’

you mumbled

the others were so stunned and seijoh itself was so hard to make speechless but they were just shocked

period

‘what is happening’

iwaizumi mumbled

yea the others were just shocked period

‘hey guys’

you waved and you motioned them closer

‘uhh,,, well,,, um they are my friends’

you smiled uneasily and they could see that

‘aaand?’

oikawa signalled you to say everything bc he knew it wasnt the whole story

you sighed

‘ushi,,, jima is my brother’

you mumbled the last part

but they heard you

‘HAH?!’

you cringed and the shira boys were about to move to protect you but they saw you glare at them

‘what? what about it? hes my brother? and?’

you babbled

‘but,, why are you,, in seijoh? dont get me wrong! its just,, youd naturally go to shiratorizawa right?’

mattsun waved his hands around and asked the question thats bugging the team

‘i came to the country late’

‘THE COUNTRY?!’

well,,

turns out you havent exactly told them everything about you yet :/

even when youve cleared the air and introduced waka as your brother, seijoh still didnt say anything

they were stuck in this shocked and surprised moment even at the end of the day and when you went straight to the shiratorizawa team,

they watched with wide eyes as you laughed with goshiki and was jumping around with tendou

‘AH! TOMU! MY HAIR!’

‘TORI-SAN! SATORI-SAN! TAKE THAT!’

wow you were actually really beautiful when youre happy

‘i dont think ive seen her this happy with this much energy’

makki said and they nodded

it was true

you were usually calm and collected and was the perfect balance to this chaotic team

so seeing you so free and loose with them was so refreshing, even if it was with damn ushiwaka

you finally went back to the seijoh boys and they all sent glares to the violet team before sending you a smile

‘you ready to go, manager-chan?’

watari ruffled your hair before handing you your bag to start walking to the bus

‘yea. lets go home’

as you all walked, oikawa was already starting his tantrum

‘y/n-chan~! why aren’t you that happy around us? are we not enough for you?’

oikawa whined and pouted

but you just turned to smiled at him and stopped walking to pat his head

‘im not their manager, therefore im not pressured to act like anyone except as a friend and a spectator. but i try to be as professional as i can with you guys to make sure you dont appear bad to others. and you guys are perfectly chaotic enough, adding me into the mix will just about kill coach’

oikawa didnt seem satisfied though

‘but! thats not fair! they get to see you smile and i dont!’

iwaizumi growled at him to be quiet but you beat him to it

well

you smiled at tooru but your eyes shone maliciously

‘i knew you would act like this, oikawa-san. as punishment, i gave nii-chan your phone number. good luck avoiding him now’

oikawa screamed

a/n: AAWWWWW LETS NOT KILL COACH IRIHATA OKAY? HES LIKE OUR GRANPAPA AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LEAVE OIKAWA ALONE WAKAWAKA-KUN!

hiii cait! can we a blurb abt henny with her mama, nana anne & auntie gem backstage at wembley watching her daddy sing and dance his heart out 🥹 id bet she’d be so happy watching him

THEIR HOME SHOW (ONE OF THREE!) IT WOULD BE SO SWEET

"Are you excited to watch Papa on the big stage? Are you? Tu es excité?" Harry coos to the toddler on his thighs, the sounds of her giggling echoing around the dressing room as Amélie talks to Gemma, Anne, and the whole family that came out for the shows. It's exciting, to have his family and her family there, especially his wife and daughter, and to see how proud they are of him in these moments. It makes everything worth doing.

He knows they won't be able to come to every show on the European tour, in fact, this would be their last show until Paris, and after that, they would be apart for a few weeks until Italy, and then apart again until they make their way back to America for the residencies. It's just the way things are now with a baby and the art galleries and exhibitions and talks of new movie deals in the works for Amélie. He cherishes these moments instead, soaking in the moments that he's listening to his daughter laugh backstage and wife is talking with his sister and there are ninety thousand people filtering into the venue to watch him perform his songs.

"Are you proud of me, Hensley Grace? Are you proud of Papa?"

"Of course, she's proud of you, baby," Amélie whispers, leaning over and kissing his cheek, wrapping her arms around his shoulders, and leaning her chin on his shoulder. "I'm so incredibly proud of you. You sold out this place, all by yourself. That's absolutely insane. Totalement fou."

Harry tilts his head and stares into Amélie's eyes without saying a word, a smile breaking onto his lips as she stares back at him and leans down without a word, capturing his lips in a kiss. "Yeah? You're proud of me, Amélie Fay?"

"More proud than words in any language can express."

"I can't believe I'm playing here. Wembley."

"Better believe it," Amélie says, reaching down and lifting their daughter onto her hip, "because you have to go get ready to go on stage."

"Can you bring Hens into the dressing room before I go on?"

"Course," she promises, nodding her head and kissing her cheek, their daughter smirking up at her father and laying her head on her mother's shoulder as he tickles her belly.

"Je te verrai bientôt, mon petit papillon. Je t'aime."

"Say, Je t'aime, Papa! To Jupiter and Pluto," Amélie smiles, waving with Hensley as Harry excuses himself from the room and goes to get ready for the show.

Amélie and Hensley make themselves busy with family and friends for the thirty or so minutes Harry is changing and getting ready, talking with Gemma and Phoebe and Hensley toddling around the room, going up to everyone she knows and giving hugs and sloppy kisses on the cheeks. Her first birthday was just over three months ago, and all of the milestones she's beginning to hit are astounding to everyone. Hensley just seems so big.

Hensley says 'mama' and 'papa' and the routine babbled words of 'hi' and 'bye'. Hensley walks around the room and holds everyone's hands. Hensley loves being cuddled to sleep, and will likely do so during the show tonight, especially when her father is singing.

And when Amélie gets a text from her husband saying that he's ready for the evening, Anne, Amélie and Hensley take a walk down the hallway to visit Harry's dressing room.

He's pacing a bit around his room, but as soon as he sees Hensley Grace, every ounce of nerves washes away and he's reaching for her and kissing all over her face. "Hi, my little good luck charm. Are you Papa's good luck? Is Papa going to do extra good because you're here?"

Hensley laughs and gives him a sloppy kiss on the mouth.

Harry brings her close, holding her head to his shoulder and she immediately tucks her face into his neck. He turns around, facing the wall, and kisses her head, breathing in her scent one last time, and whispers, "Papa's going to do his best for you and Mama. I love you with my whole heart, Hensley Grace. My little butterfly."

Outside, someone shouts that there's five minutes, and Harry turns around and hands their daughter to his mother with a kiss on the cheek and grabs Amélie's hand, immediately walking towards where they're leading him backstage.

Harry and Amélie's little ritual has been something they've done for years, and he doesn't plan on changing it now. Amélie will be the last person he sees before he goes on stage, no matter what.

"I love you, baby. Good luck, although you don't really need it," Amélie smiles brightly, grabbing his arms and bringing him in for a kiss. He tilts her back and she giggles and he swears that's the best sound in the world - even with the thousands of people chanting his name just feet away. "Hensley and I will be watching. We love you. You're our everything. We adore you."

Harry kisses her again and smiles, "Like I've said a million times, I wouldn't be doing this without you. I love you. I love Hensley. Thank you for everything. I do this all for you."

"I know, but do this, tonight, for you. For all your hard work that led you here. You did this. You brought ninety thousand people out to sing your songs. I couldn't be more proud of you and everything you've done over the last who knows how many years."

"Been around too long to keep count?" Harry laughs.

"Yeah, way too long. Think I'm going to head out, actually," Amélie smirks and goes to turn around, only to have Harry grab her cheeks and kiss her deeply. "Have fun. I love you endlessly."

Being A Stark (11)- Peter Parker x Reader

Word Count:1955 Warnings: Nothing I can think of Author’s Note: So was I planning to leave for a few months and not write? No. Did school kick my ass for a bit? HELL YEAH. But I have the next chapter already written so hopefully you won’t have as much of a wait! Let me know what you think/if you want to be tagged.

“Nana! Pops!” You fall into your grandparents arms and hold on. You haven’t seen them since the Blip. They aged in the five years you missed, so you can only guess that they didn’t Blip.

“Hi sweet girl.” Your nana’s voice is like music that you haven’t heard in a while.

“Hi Nana and Pops!” Morgan says, or rather yells, as she also runs over to give a hug to the two people she’s never met. Your grandparents look at the little girl that has wrapped her arms around their legs in surprise. They look to you for an explanation.

“This is my little sister Morgan.” You scoop her up.

“I want to go back to my grandparents.” She whines, trying to get out of your arms.

“Maybe in a moment Morguna.” Your dad comes over and takes your sister into his arm. “You, me and Mom are going to go to the table while we give your sister a moment with… Nana and Pops.” He pauses before saying your names for them, not wanting to tell Morgan that they’re not technically her grandparents. Pepper just gives you a smile before walking away with your dad and sister.

“Your sister thinks we’re her grandparents too?” Your pops asks, smiling softly.

“We haven’t really explained that we’re only half siblings, since Mo-Pepper adopted me and stuff.”

“Calling her mom isn’t going to hurt us. Our daughter has been gone for twenty years. She lost her chance to be a mom when she chose drugs and alcohol over her baby.” Nana states and Pops nods in agreement.

“Morgan just knows me as her sister. We have the same parents as far as she knows so when I said that Nana and Pops lived in Queens, she just assumed that you were her grandparents too.”

“What about Tony and Pepper’s parents? Won’t she be confused on why she would have three sets of grandparents if we are also her grandparents?” You shake your head, thinking back to when your dad explained about his parents.

“Dad’s parents were killed back before I was born. So Morgan technically only has one living set of grandparents. It’s where she and I differ because I technically get two sets because I get Mom’s and you guys.”

“I think we can manage to have another grandbaby.” Nana says softly. “We’ve got plenty of love in our heart for another kid.”

“Good, because I think she might have cried if we told her you weren’t her grandparents. She was excited the whole ride over here about meeting her other grandparents.”

“Let’s go meet our new grandchild.” Your pops says with a smile, his arm wrapping around you as you walk towards the area where your family had walked off too.

“Nana, Pops, over here!” Morgan calls from her seat next to your mom where there are two open seats waiting, presumably for your grandparents. Your dad motions for you to sit next to him on the other side of the table. You sit down next to your dad, smiling at him before you glance at the menu. You’ve been to this place a few times, but not since the Blip happened. There’s a few items missing from the menu, but also a few new ones taking their places. Morgan starts chattering away to your grandparents as they sit down. They glance at the menu, but are paying more attention to Morgan then their choice of what to eat. You can see the pull that is impossible to feel when near Morgan. You love your little sister so much.

Dinner passes easily, your grandparents listening to the stories Morgan wants to tell them. Through lunch you can see your grandparents treating Morgan in the same way they had treated you growing up. They listen to stories, share some of their own, and give a lot of love and support where needed. Morgan loves so big and so easily. It’s hard not to love her. You know this from experience. It took mere moments to fall in love with your sister, so it’s unsurprising to you that your grandparents also love her too.

Your parents and grandparents still seem hesitant around each other. They speak to each other in light but cautious tones that make you wish they could just learn to accept each other. You love all of them so much that you wish they would just be family instead of being hesitant strangers around each other. Pepper seems to be making more of an effort than your dad, but on the other side of the table it’s the same with your Nana making more of an effort than your Pops. Something about the men in your life makes them hesitant around each other. But you’ll just keep pushing them towards each other and hopefully one day they’ll be like the family you always dreamed of.

“Next time, you’ll have to come over so I can show you my Barbies and my Avenger action figures. And you can meet Finn. He loves to cuddle and play fetch. Ok?” Morgan asks as she cuddles into Pops’ arms for a hug.

“That sounds like a fun day Morgan.” You listen to this as your Nana holds you for a hug.

“You’re alway welcome to come over if you need to escape the limelight of being a Stark.” Your Nana whispers in your ear. “Especially if it comes down to people sharing your personal information in the press again.”

“I know. I love you.”

“I love you too babydoll. We haven’t moved. Your key still will work.”

“I’ll remember that.” You kiss your Nana’s cheek. “I love you lots.”

“Love you to the moon and back babydoll.” Morgan is reaching for your Nana so you switch grandparents.

“I love you Pops.” You say as you curl into his arms, taking in the scent of him- earthy and tobacco from the pipe he smokes occasionally.

“I love you too sweet girl. Always have, always will. You’ll always be our first grandbaby. Nothing changes just because we have another little love now.” You curl a little further into your Pops arms.

“Maybe we can take Morgan to the planetarium one day. Share space with her too.” You say softly.

“That sounds like something that would be fun. Maybe we can bring your dad along too. Since he’s been to space.” Pops suggests, trying to be civil towards the man that you clearly love, even if he took you from him.

You reply honestly as you say, “he’d probably love that.”

From across the way, Pepper and Tony watch as their kids hug the grandparents that one of them spent fourteen years of her life growing up with. They owe a lot to these two people, especially since they’re loving a kid that they have no actual relationship with as if she’s their grandchild. But more than anything, they played a major role in bringing you into this world. Without them, there would be no you. And both Pepper and Tony are in agreement, the world needs you in it.

“We’ll see you later lovebug.” Nana says to Morgan as she sets her on the ground.

“Pinky promise?” Morgan asks, not wanting to say goodbye yet. But Nana holds her pinky out to your little sister.

“Pinky promise.” You watch this interaction from inside a side hug from your Pops. You’re not totally ready to say goodbye either. But you also know that you need to go pick up Peter before it gets too late. It’s already almost seven and if you wait much later, he’ll be getting back to Queens really late after hanging out with your family tonight. So being the big sister Morgan needs right now you reach a hand towards her.

“Come on Momo, we have to go pick up Peter.”

“Really? We’re picking him up? He’s not just going to meet us back at home?” You nod your head.

“It wouldn’t make sense to have him meet us at home because we’re like ten minutes from him right now.”

“Can we see where he lives?” You look towards your dad on that one. You had been expecting to just have Peter meet you outside his apartment.

“We can see the building where he lives Morguna.”

“Does he live in a house like us?” She asks as you start to walk towards where Happy is parked. She turns around to wave at your grandparents who are walking in the other direction. You wave too as they wave back at you all.

“Peter lives in an apartment building. Do you remember when we talked about what those are?” Your mom asks.

“Yeah it’s stacks of houses on top of each other.” Morgan says as you all climb in the car. You sit down next to Morgan and after buckling in, you text Peter that you’re headed to pick him up. You’ve missed him. It may have only been a few hours since you saw him in the hallway at school, but you’re so used to being with him all the times that you can be with him, especially on Fridays, that your heart misses him from being away from him.

You realize, you’ve never felt this way about someone before. Sure you’ve had friends and other significant others that you don’t like missing days from, but only a few hours? Never.

“You’re rather quiet back there.” Your dad says from the passenger’s seat, where he’s forced to sit until he gets approval to drive.

“Just thinking.”

“About a certain teenage boy?” Tony’s eyebrow raises at you.

“I mean we are going to pick him up. Is there something else I should be thinking of?”

“I don’t know, maybe the convent I should have sent you to before you got together with my teenage mentee.”

“You would miss me too much to send me away.” You kiss his cheek before climbing out of the car. You’re pretty sure your dad said something in response, but you don’t hear it as you walk up the stairs to Peter’s building. You don’t get to come here that often because of school and a certain protective parent, but being in Queens always makes you feel like being home again.

Practically floating up the stairs, you make your way towards the door you know Peter will be behind. You wave at his neighbor walking into their own apartment before knocking on the door. And a smile illuminates your face when the door opens.

“Hey Y/N!” Your smile is contagious because Peter can’t stop either.

“Hi babe.” Peter steps into the hallway, looks both ways to see no one else is there, and then pulls you into his arms before placing three quick kisses on your lips. “Mmm.” You sigh into his kiss. You could stay like this all evening, but you know there is an excited five year old waiting to see Peter. “We should probably head downstairs before my dad comes looking for us.”

“Yeah, probably a good idea.” Peter turns back towards the apartment and calls out. “Aunt May I’m leaving.”

“Have a fun time! Be safe. If it gets late, call me and I’ll come pick you up.”

“I’ll be fine May. Bye!”

“Hi Y/N. Bye Y/N.” May teases as Peter shuts the door. Peter’s hand wraps around yours.

“Family fun night?” He asks as you walk down the stairs.

“Family fun night. I think the plan is a game and then a movie. And Morgan trying to get juice pops at some point I bet.”

“Well I can’t wait.” If you could spend every Friday with your boyfriend and your family, life might be the best.

Phantoms of the Past Chapter 16 - High Voltage vs The Super Sonic Skaters

"Nana, Nana, look what came in the mail!" Stu rushed into the room waving a letter in the air.

"Not now Sugarcakes," Sue sweetly sang, "Nana is busy planning our next crime spring."

She looked up at the blackboard before her. It had a map on it and push pins marked the locations of her potential targets.

"Now that my dear old friend, Kensei, is in the slammer, we don't have to lie low any longer. This whole city is just ready for the picking." She chuckled in her throat.

Stu pointed at the letter in his hand again, "That's great Nana, but I also..."

"Now what did I tell you about interrupting people, Stu?" His grandmother said, ironically interrupting him while at it.

"Not to do it." Stu replied with a sigh and hung his head in shame.

"That's right, darling. Now go get your gear, we're going for a test ride." She grinned and Stu hurried off to find his stakes. Pocketing the letter as he went.

------------------------

"And that's why my baby girl and I decided to give up crime. Ain't that right sweetheart?"

"That's right mama, and the police said that we could get time off on our parole if we attended therapy."

"That's how we found your little reform school."

Varian and the rest of the members of the Supervillain Reform School listened intently as mother and daughter finished their story. They both had long blond hair and held each other's hands as they recounted their unique crime spree. They both controlled electricity through dance. Where they got the technology to do so was still a mystery, but with it they had held up banks and fought superheroes. Until they got tired of going to jail whenever they lost that is.

"Well thank you Barb, and Juniper, for that touching confession." Globby said from behind the podium. "While our meetings aren't a replacement for any needed physiatrist visits, support groups like ours can be a beneficial addition to regular therapy. In fact I know many of our members also attend regular counseling. Why don't we go around the room and each introduce ourselves to our newest members. Carl, will you do the honors of starting us off?"

Carl stood up, holding Noodle Burger Boy in his arms. "Hello, My name is Carl."

"Hi Carl." the group stated, though everyone already knew who he was. Carl nodded his recognition before continuing on. "I used to be a goon for hire, but it's been a full six months since my last shake down. Since then I've straightened out my life, found love, obtained new legal employment, and most rewarding of all I've become a foster parent."

He hugged Noodle Burger Boy afterwards who returned the embrace gleefully. Globby beamed proudly at both of them, and even Trina couldn't help but give a little smile at that.

"Yeah, and you're the bestest stepdad ever! You and Globby both!" NB crowded.

El Fuego busted a gut laughing and slapped his knee. "Aye! You are in good company, senoritas. We're just one big happy family here."

"Would you like to go next, Salinas?" Globby asked.

The large man became uncharacteristically sheepish. "Uh yeah.. My name is Salinas and I'm also known professionally as El Auga, formerly the mecha wrestler El Fuego, and I may have tried to beat up a fourteen year old."

"You tried to beat up a little kid?" Barb asked.

"Well in my defense, I didn't know that he was a kid at the time." Salinas pouted. "I thought he was just a really short guy. Besides you fought him too, remember? He's the head of Big Hero Six?"

"Captain Cutie?" Juniper asked.

El Fuego nodded yes.

Varian snorted despite himself and coughed to cover himself.

"He's only fourteen?" Barb asked, "Huh... that must be why we ran into them at a high school dance."

"Are they all in high school?" Juniper innocently asked.

"No college." Trina corrected. "'Captain Cutie' got into undergrad school early."

Both Varian and Trina started snickering after she had finished.

"What's so funny?" Barb asked.

Globby gave both teens a frown and they straightened themselves up. "They happen to know 'Captain Cutie' personally. Many of us have befriended Big Hero Six since reforming ourselves."

"Really, what are they like?" Juniper asked.

"Annoying." Trina snarked, and Varian snickered again despite himself.

Globby gave the teens another stern look.

"What?" Varian defended. "You don't have to live with him."

"You live with a superhero?" Barb asked.

Varian nodded his head sheepishly.

"Doesn't that make dinner kind of awkward?" Juniper followed up.

"W-we usually don't discuss such matters at the dinner table." Varian answered.

"Then why are you here?" Barb asked.

"Yeah, what is your story anyway?" Salinas said. "I've never heard it either."

Varian pressed his lips together tightly.

"It's ok," Globby reassured him.; resting a slimy hand on his shoulder gently. "You don't have to talk about anything you do want to. Share as little or as much as you would like."

Varian looked around the room wide eyed. Everyone was sitting in a semicircle inside the conference room of the community gym. They were all staring at him expectantly. This was only his third meeting with the help group but he already knew most of the people here.

His eyes rested on Trina who sat next to him. She was one of the few people he had ever confided in, and here she was now ready to give him her support as she rested her hand on his other shoulder.

She understood. They all understood. They were all broken just like him; that's why they made this support group.

Varian took a deep breath and squeezed his shut before blurting out. "I led a violent revolution against my home country's ruling class; designing deadly weapons, overthrowing the royals, and subjecting loyalists that supported them."

Awkward silence fell over the crowd and Varian timidly opened one eye to see everyone's shocked reactions. His eye landed on the newcomers last, whose mouths hung open agape.

The mother, Barb, tapped her daughter on the shoulder eagerly. "Now see that Juniper," She said, "that's a man with ambition."

Juniper sighed and rolled her eyes to the heavens, "Yes, mama." she moaned as if she was used to such lectures.

Varian only blinked in confusion.

"You said you were dealing with bullies," Carl added, "I can't think of any bully that's meaner than a corrupt government."

"Aye, amigo. No wonder you came to America." El Fuego said.

Globby coughed, "Well yes, while we don't want to encourage violent behavior, it would seem that your situation is rather a unique one, Varian. However, we're very happy that you're here with us now."

"Told you so." Trina whispered in his ear.

"Hey you skipped over Sis!" Noodle Burger Boy called.

Trina rolled her eyes. "I caused a robotic uprising and tried to conquer the city." She recited annoyed.

"And I used to be a master thief." Globby said, taking the attention away from Trina so she wouldn't feel placed on the spot any longer then needed to. "We all have our pasts. The important thing is that we do what we can to work for a better future. That's why I want to challenge each of you to do at least one good deed for this week. It doesn't matter what it is, big or small, but try to do something for someone else and give back to the community. Now, who wants cookies!"

And with that Carl brought around a plate of his homemade cookies.

------------------------

"Welcome to Big Hero Six's headquarters!" Fred shouted as Wasabi parked the car.

"It looks like an abandoned candy factory." Tadashi commented as they all got out of the vehicle.

"On the outside that is..." Fred said as he opened the doors to the building.

Tadashi looked around at the worn out conveyor belts, machines, and scaffolding. "Yeah, it still looks like an old candy factory."

Hiro walked past him with a smug smile and punched some numbers on a nearby keypad.

Suddenly the wall unlocked, split in half, and slid open; revealing a high tech office space with monitoring screens and super-suits lining the walls.

"Woah."

"See I told ya!" Fred cheered. "We're superheroes now!"

"Wh-where did you get all this gear?" Tadashi whirled around looking every which way at the electronics and custom armor.

"Made most of it myself," Hiro said,"uh, with some input from the rest of the guys. As for the headquarters itself, Fred hired a specialist to build it out of his family's old factory."

"Specialist?" Tadashi asked.

"Roddy Blair, King of Lairs." A middle aged man with a bushy red beard proclaimed as he walked out of one of the adjacent rooms carrying a tool box. "How ya doing?"

He handed Tadashi a business card as he introduced himself.

"Uh... fine?" Tadashi responded as he read the card completely bewildered.

"Good, good." Roddy nodded absently before turning towards the rest of the teens. "The last of the bedrooms is finished and I installed another bathroom. Seems like you'll need it with this many folks comin' and goin'."

"Oooh, did you paint my room pink?" Honey Lemon eagerly asked.

"All bedrooms have been built to the requested specifications; including the dinosaur shaped bed with the interior drawers." Roddy replied.

"Aaaandd the inside pool with a water slide?" Fred asked.

Roddy looked at him deadpanned. "No." he said and then turned to leave.

"Thanks for all your hard work Roddy." Hiro said, stopping the man from leaving. "We appreciate it... uhmm, but we might need another bedroom. See my brother just got back an-"

Roddy held up a hand. "Sorry Hiro, but you'll have to leave a note with my secretary if you want any more commissions. Now, I need to hurry or I'll be late."

"Late for what?" Wasabi asked.

"I gotta date tonight." Roddy winked. "See ya later. Bye."

"Awe, how sweet." Honey Lemon exclaimed as he walked away.

"I guess there's someone out there for everyone." Gogo commented once he was gone.

"Okay, so Fred has enough money to build an elaborate clubhouse, and you've come up with some pretty cool cosplay costumes, I'll admit," Tadashi said. "but you don't really expect me to believe that the five of you go out and fight crime on a daily basis. Come on."

"No, of course not." Wasabi said with a sly smile. "There's also Baymax."

"Together we're Big Hero Six." Fred shouted as he wrapped an arm around Tadashi.

"Big Hero Six?" Tadashi echoed. "Let me guess you came up with the name."

"Sure did!" Fred beamed.

Just then an alarm rang out. Hiro ran over to the large computer screen on the back wall.

"Looks like Supersonic Sue and her grandson are back." He commented as a news report flashed up on the screen.

"Who?" Tadashi asked as he watched an old lady on roller skates exit out of a bank carrying a large sack of money on her back.

"Hey, this is great!" Fred cheered.

"Why are two supervillains holding up a bank, 'great'?" Gogo asked.

"Because this gives Tadashi a chance to join us!"

"With what armor?" Wasabi pointed out.

"Hmmm…." Fred thought for a moment and then snapped his fingers as he came upon an idea. He ran to his chameleon suit hanging on the wall, pulled it down, and flung it at Tadashi. "Here, you can use my spare suit. It turns the wearer invisible."

Tadashi looked down at the dead-eyed head of the lizard mascot suit and made a face. "Yeeeeaaah, thanks, but no thanks. Y'all have fun though."

"Oh please." Fred begged and gave Tadashi his best pouty face.

"What's the matter? Don't think you can handle it?" Hiro teased with another smug smile.

Tadashi threw him an annoyed glare and then looked back at Fred's puppy dog eyes. He rolled his own eyes and began to put on the suit.

------------------------

"Bye, see ya later Trina." Varian waved goodbye to his friend as the support group dispersed from their meeting. Trina waved back and Varian made his way to the bus stop. Barb and Juniper exited the building behind him.

"A good deed huh?" Barb mussed.

"Maybe we can donate our old dance shoes to the needy?" Juniper suggested.

"Now what would a homeless person need with ballet slippers, Juniper?" Barb shot back, and her daughter shrank back from her disapproval. Barb ignored this as she continued her thought. "No, what we need is to do something big. Something important. Something that utilizes our unique talents....' Barb suddenly stopped and snapped her fingers. "I got it! We'll become super heroes!"

"Super heroes!?" Juniper protested, "But mama, I thought we were trying to have a normal life. What part of being superheroes is normal?"

"Now, Juniper, why would you want to be normal when you have all the makings of a star!? Besides, we have a debt to society to repay, and who better to catch supervillains than former supervillains? If Globby can do it, so can we."

"But mama, we don't even know the first thing about superheroing. Where would we even start?"

"Oh nonsense, baby girl. It's the same as showbiz. You got to know the right people... remember?"

"It's all about contacts." Juniper recited in a tired fashion.

"That's right, and I think I see our contact right over there." She grabbed her daughter by the hand and dragged her over to the bus stop.

"Yoohoo, hello!"

Varian looked up from his phone to see Barb waving at him.

"Uh... hi?"

"Juniper and I were just so inspired by your story today. Imagine going through all that, running away to America for a better life, and finding it with superheroes as roommates. That just.. must be so.. so.. um.. thrilling."

"Uuuh... I guess?"

"Tell me, do you do any superheroing as well?"

"Well, not exactly... I mean I help out sometimes b-but I'm not-"

"Good! Then you can show us the ropes!" Barb interrupted and both mother and daughter each hooked an arm around his.

"Oh but I'm not exactly a superhero..." But his protests were ignored as they escorted him onto the bus.

"That's okay neither are we." Juniper said as the door to the tram slammed closed shut.

------------------------

Tadashi tripped and fell for what felt like the millionth time that day as his friends raced ahead.

"How does Fred move in this thing?"

Honey Lemon skated to a stop beside him to help him up. "It's okay, Fred can't move very well in it either. That's why he prefers his regular monster suit."

"Great, my first time superheroing and I get a defective suit."

"No, the suit is fine, you just both need some practice with it." Gogo said as she also skated past, turning around and skating backwards just to show off. She gave Tadashi a cocky little salute as she did so, just to tease him a bit.

Tadashi felt his cheeks grow red, both in embarrassment and admiration. Damn, was she cool.

Honey Lemon gave him an apologetic smile and followed after her best friend.

"Okay, gang, if we're going to take down Sue and her grandson then we have to get the drop on them." Tadashi heard Hiro's voice over the intercom. "We don't want a repeat of last time."

"And by 'last time' you mean when she disarmed both you and Varian, crushed Baymax's personality chip, and locked the two of you in a giant shipping crate?" he heard Fred say.

"Wait? She did what now!?" Tadashi asked. He was ignored.

"Or are we talking about how she attacked us with an army of robot ninjas and almost sucked us all into the void before blowing us up?" Wasabi asked, finishing Fred's first inquiry.

"You guys are kidding me right?" Tadashi asked, but he was still ignored.

"To be fair, the portal going boom was Callaghan's doing." came Gogo's radio.

"When was this? I thought he was in jail?" Tadashi jogged after.

"Also the robot ninjas was Momasake's doing." Honey Lemon helpfully offered up.

"Is this intercom just not working?" Tadashi shouted.

"It'll be fine." Hiro slyly smiled, "this time we got a secret weapon."

"Wh-zz 's th- zz?"

"Oh sorry Tadashi, you cut out. Try using the intercom again."

All Hiro heard next was an annoyed groan on the other end.

------------------------

"Ah, Look! Look-look-look!" Barb called out as she shoved a phone into the two teens' faces. "Looky here Juniper! There's a jewel heist in downtown. We're in luck!"

"B-but downtown is in the opposite direction of where we're going." Varian pointed out.

'Not for long!" Barb grinned and pulled the emergency brake on the trolley. "Sorry, it's an emergency!" She called out as everyone around them grumbled in irritation.

Before Varian knew what was happening Barb and Juniper were hurrying him off of the tram. As soon as they got off Barb took off running towards downtown.

"Hurry up, Slow pokes! We don't want to miss them!"

Varian and Juniper shared a look before she apologetically shrugged and ran after her mother.

Varian had a mind to get back on the bus but the trolley was already driving away when he turned back around. He gave an aggravated sigh towards the heavens before also running after the two women.

------------------------

"I don't know about this, Hiro." Tadashi said as the wind whipped around his ears.

Baymax had finally picked him up and was just carrying Tadashi in his arms as they flew through the air. It was embarrassing having to be carted around, and Tadashi was frustrated by how hard it was to keep up. The chameleon suit was in need of a complete redesign, he had decided.

However, what was even more upsetting was just how natural everyone else moved in their own armor. They had been doing this for over a year now and they soared, skated, jumped, and drove around with practiced ease. Even Wasabi had taken to driving faster and with more confidence than Tadashi had known him to do. And it was all just more reminders of all that he had missed out on in the year that was stolen from him.

So rather than acknowledge this uncomfortable truth, Tadashi preferred to complain about the ridiculousness of the situation he found himself in now.

"You seriously want me to fight armed criminals while dressed like a giant lizard?" He continued.

"It'll be fine." Hiro assured him. "All you have to do is distract them so that we can get the drop on them and capture them; and with the cloaking system turned on in your suit, they won't even know what they're 'fighting'."

"Ooookay and how do I turn that on?"

"Just press the little button on the palm of your hand?" Fred's voice came over the intercom.

"Which hand? What button?" Tadashi asked as he fiddled with the suit. Finally he pressed the button on accident and he disappeared from view.

"There see, you got this." Hiro assured him.

"Yeah, but I don't know how I did it..." Tadashi complained, only for Honey Lemon to interrupt.

"There they are! They're heading into an alleyway!"

------------------------

"Woohoo, boy, look at all this loot!" Sue cheered as she and her grandson hid in the alleyway. "Ain't it just like I told you? Stick your good old Nana, Stu, and you'll make it big in this business."

"Uh-huh, Nana," Stu agreed as he shifted through the stolen jewels. "This will pay for my tuition easily!"

"Tuition!?" Sue asked. "What tuition?"

Stu was going to answer her when a loud noise sounded behind them.

"Ssshh, hold that thought, dumpling." Sue whispered; pressing a finger to Stu's lips.

They heard someone shout in pain and a trash can lid rolled across the alley and clattered on the pavement.

Grandmother and child shared a knowing look. Together they snuck behind the trash bin, each taking an opposite side in order to pin down whoever was hiding behind it. Only no one appeared to be there, the space was empty.

Both looked at each other confused. Only to hear another sound as someone kicked the lid. They looked towards the noise and suddenly a giant lizard fizzled into view.

Well not a real lizard, but a person wearing a lizard suit.

Giant chameleon and supervillains stared at one another in surprise for a brief moment.

"Oh shoot!" The person in the lizard suit said before trying to runway, only to trip and fall almost immediately.

The super skaters stalked towards him, wicked grins forming on their faces.

"Well, well, well, what have we here, Stu?" Sue said in amusement. "Another wanna be superhero?"

"Uh.. Hiro? I need you to come in now!" The lizard-man shouted as he struggled to get away. "Hiro!? Guys!?"

He continued to trip over the suit's tail even as the larger of the two villains reached a hand out to grab him. "Uh.. fellas? Are you there!? Stupid intercom !?" He cursed.

Just then he felt himself being lifted off the ground and his helmet flipped back revealing his face. He gave a nervous grin at the two villains.

------------------------

"Uh-zz... Guy-zz... I need-zz"

"What does he need?" Fred asked as they heard Tadashi's broken intercom call.

No other sound came.

"We better move in," Hiro said. "Let's go."

------------------------

They found Tadashi strung up and hanging from a lamp post, with some old sheets the speedster villains had found in the dumpster.

"Let him go!" Hiro yelled.

"Ah, I knew you goody-two-shoes brats were in on this." Sue said. "You ought to train your newest recruits better."

"Get me down from here!" Tadashi struggled with his bonds.

"I can take her." Gogo said, itching to fight her rival.

"Sue, this is your last warning." Hiro said.

Sue laughed. "You wanna him? Come and get 'em."

With that Gogo rushed forward, and the fight was underway.

------------------------

"Hurry up! We're.... we're almost there." Barb panted before leaning against a street lamp to catch her breath.

Varian and Juniper easily ran past her and towards the flashing lights in the sky, indicating the fight that was happening down the block.

"Wait for me!" She called out before picking back up the chase. "Kids these days."

------------------------

Gogo and Sue raced around the block trying one up each other as the rest of the gang worked to free Tadashi.

"Give it up girly. You know you can't beat me in the speed department." Sue gloated.

"I'll admit, you may have more speed, but do your old bones have the agility to do this?" Gogo led Sue to an out of order construction sign and slid underneath it, like a limbo dancer on skates.

Sue had to jump over it instead, avoiding getting slammed in the face, but breaking the board with her skate. The rocket on the back began to smoke. She failed to notice it as she growled and rushed to catch up to the younger girl.

------------------------

Varian, Juniper, and Barb made it to the end of the block that the fight was taking place on, just in time to see the supers battling Stu.

The large burly guy quickly dogged the projectiles flung at him and bulldozed his way through the heroes, knocking them all down. Save for Wasabi who was in the middle of freeing Tadashi.

Sue skated onto the scene, tripping Gogo up with a sudden stop.

"Let's blow this popsicle stand, Stu." She said and both began to skate away at top speed.... right towards the trio.

"Oh no you don't!" shouted Barb as she ran after Sue, shooting lighting bolts from her fingertips.

"Barb, wait! What are you doing!?" Varian turned around and ran after her groaning in frustration and huffing and puffing all the way.

Juniper readied her own lighting and took a shot at Stu.

She hit her target, but her victory was short lived when Stu lost control and ran right into her.

Both teens went tumbling into each other and landed on top of one another in the grass by the roadside.

"Get off of me you, you , oaf-" Juniper paused in her insult when Stu's helmet fell off as he lifted himself upon his elbows. Their eyes met and suddenly Juniper didn't mind having him on top of her.

"Hi" She breathed.

"H-hi" He whispered back.

They laid there for a moment more, just staring at each other, until reality sunk back in.

"Sorry" Stu blushed, as he got up.

"No, I.. I shouldn't have shot at you with my electricity. " Juniper apologized as he helped her up.

"I'm glad you did." He smiled at her and she blushed an even deeper crimson.

"Stu! Stop Lollygagging!" Sue called as she rushed by them a second time breaking the spell.

Barb hurried after her, using static electricity to surfer on a trash can lid.

"Don't let her get away, Juni!" Barb called out.

"Uh... I guess I better catch up to Nana..." Stu awkwardly said.

"Yeah, Mama will be expecting me to help her as well." Juniper agreed as she stared at her toes.

"Hey.. umm.. since we're going the same way, we could.. go together?" Stu asked.

"I'm supposed to catch you though." Juniper sighed, as their eyes met again.

"Well consider me caught then." Stu grinned. "Shall we?"

He offered her his hand and Juniper nodded enthusiastically, before jumping into his arms. Together they skated away while Juniper giggled with delight at being carried by the man of her dreams.

Varian came back around just in time to see them both flying by. He called out to them but they were already out of ear shot. He let out a whine as he slowly slumped after them.

------------------------

Baymax landed on the rooftop where the rest of Big Hero Six had gathered, carrying Tadashi in his arms.

"Don't ever make me do that again!" Tadashi snarled as he struggled out of the robot's grasp, only to land on his butt with an 'ooofff'.

"On a scale of one to ten, how do you rate your pain?" Baymax asked him. Tadashi didn't dignify that with an answer. Not that anyone was paying attention to him though.

"Do you see where they went to?" Honey Lemon asked.

"No." Fred said as he perched on the corner ledge and scanned the sky line.

"As fast as they skate, they could already be in San Jose by now." Wasabi pointed out.

"Grrr, and I almost had her too!" Gogo pouted.

"It's okay Gogo," Hiro said as he joined them last, using his electronic whips to swing himself up onto the roof. "We'll get 'em. Baymax, start scanning the city for Super Sonic Sue's bio readings. The rest of us need to come up with a new game plan to take them down."

"Are you kidding me!?" Tadashi shouted, finally gaining their attention. "This is what you've all been doing for the past year!? Picking fights with crazed lunatics on super steroids or something!? What's next? Giant man eating monsters?"

"Naw, that was like two semesters ago." Fred said. "We're at the start of phase four now."

Tadashi only stared at him in disbelief and the rest of the gang gave Fred an annoyed look.

"You know what? This ends now." Tadashi firmly ordered. "I'm telling Aunt Cass what's up, because I know for a fact she wouldn't let you do this Hiro."

"You… you wouldn't?" Hiro looked completely startled by this revelation.

"I would, and I am, and the rest of you guys ought to be ashamed of yourself for going along with this scheme and letting Hiro put himself in danger."

"I'm not in danger," Hiro protested, "and leave them out of this! They only went along with this 'crazy scheme' to help you!"

"Help me!? How does risking your lives help me, Hiro?"

Hiro pouted in confusion. He looked towards the rest of the gang for support. This wasn't what he had been expecting. He thought Tadashi would be proud of him. He thought his brother would want to join them in their noble mission.

However, his friends seemed as equally surprised as he was and were too uncomfortable with the conversation to butt in.

"Let's call the police," Tadashi continued, as if he had just won the argument. "They can handle the robbers and we can get on with our lives. Ugh… as soon as I can figure out how to get this stupid suit off, that is." He grunted in annoyance as he struggled with finding the zipper.

"The police can't handle them." Hiro argued. "That's why we do this. We're the only ones with tech to match what the supervillains in this city come up with."

"Then why not donate your tech to the police?" Tadashi argued back even as he continued to fight with the lizard suit. "Face it Hiro, you do this cause you like it. It's a high thrills game, same as the bot fights."

"This is nothing like that!" Hiro shouted back, and everyone's eyes went wide.

Tadashi stopped struggling with his super suit. "You're right Hiro, this is nothing like bot fighting. It's even more dangerous, and probably just as illegal. You finally have a future now, and you're wasting it on playing the hero.

"Says the guy who threw his life away by running into a burning building !" Hiro screamed.

Everyone stood still in shock at that.

"Oookaaay, I think we better… not be here right now…" Wasabi said after a moment of awkward silence. "Maaybee we should go over to the next rooftop, what do ya say?"

"Yeah, we...we can scan for the Super Skaters over there." Honey Lemon agreed. "Come on, Baymax."

And with that everyone left save for Tadashi and Hiro, who simply stood there staring each other down.

"Why are you doing this, Hiro?" Tadashi quietly asked after they had left.

"Why did you run back to the fire?" Hiro angrily sobbed.

Tadashi sighed. "I was trying to help…"

"Well so am I! Why do you get to risk your life and be the hero, and not us!? Why can't we do what's right too? You said 'someone has to help'. You said that. I heard it. It- it was the last thing… the last thing you said be-before…"

Hiro couldn't fight back the tears as he broke down again, and he hated it. Tadashi was back. Everything should be good again. So why did the memories still hurt so much?

"You're… you're doing all this because of me?" Tadashi asked softly.

Hiro nodded as he wiped his nose. He didn't trust himself to talk without bursting into tears again.

Tadashi for his part looked utterly lost. As if he was only just now coming to terms with how much of an impact his actions had.

"My god... Hiro… I'm so sorry." He whispered as he knelt beside his brother and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Hiro blinked in confusion. "Sorry? F-for what? For doing the right thing?"

"I'm.. I'm no longer sure if what I did was even the right thing anymore."

Hiro searched his eyes in confusion, and it finally dawned on him that his big brother was… scared?... Tadashi was frightened, but when was Tadashi ever afraid of anything?

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"I mean… look at you! Look at our friends. Look at what's been going on; how much everything has changed… and... it's all my fault."

"No… no. It's not your fault. It's Callahan's, a-and the Super Skaters, and all the other villains that we've fought."

Tadashi shook his head. "It's not that simple Hiro. I'm still the one who chose to go back in. You… you're still the one who chose to dress up like a comic book superhero and stop crime…. And these choices have consequences. Mainly, making those you love worry about you."

"Aaand what's the consequence if we choose not to do what we do?" Hiro asked. "Who gets hurt instead?"

Tadashi sighed and then gave Hiro a sad smile. "You got me there. I don't know. Hiro, I act like I know it all, because I'm your big brother and I know you look up to me, but the truth is… I'm just a dumb college kid trying figure things out the same as everybody else… and right now, my whole world has been thrown for a loop."

"Now there's an understatement." Hiro joked, and both brothers snickered.

"I just don't want you getting hurt." Tadashi reiterated, getting back to task.

"I won't. Honest… The guys and I have actually been really careful. We know what we're doing. Just give us a chance… Who knows, with a bit more practice, you might find that you like it too? "

Tadashi slowly nodded. "Alright… I'll give it another shot, and regardless of whether or not I'll join in any more superhero outings, I'll support you and the rest of the guys."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"And you won't tell Aunt Cass? 'Cause she'd never understand."

"And I won't tell Aunt Cass." Tadashi agreed. "I'll spare her from having another heart attack. That is, of course, so long as no one gets hurt. The moment anything goes wrong, anyone gets injured because of this, then I'm telling her everything . The superheroing, the lies, Varian being from an alternate dimension, all of it. Got it?"

Hiro nodded in agreement. "Okay, fair. Nothing is going to happen though. I have this under control."

"Do you? Well, okay then. I guess San Fransokyo has nothing to worry about, Hiro Hamada is on the job." Tadashi teased. "So long as he doesn't blow the city sky high."

He gave his little brother a playful shove and they both started to laugh.

"I'm glad you two made up." Wasabi said over the intercom.

"Wait, you guys were listening the whole time?" Tadashi complained.

Fred ignored this. "We spotted Super Sonic Sue." He said. "And you'll never believe this but High Voltage is with her!?"

"I thought they got out of prison early for good behavior?" Honey Lemon chimed in.

"Well, it looks like they're back to their old ways. There goes Stu being all chummy with Juniper. " Gogo pointed out, as the couple sped past.

"High Voltage teaming up with the Super Sonic Skaters could mean big trouble." Hiro said. "Meet us back on the roof. We'll head out after them."

------------------------

Varian finally caught up to Barb and Juniper at the corner of Main Street and First. He's legs ached, his stomach growled with hunger, and his head hurt from dealing with both of the two women's stubbornness. They were way in over their heads, and it just wouldn't do to show up at the next SRS meeting having to admit to everyone that two latest members had died because Varian couldn't save them from themselves. Trina wouldn't stop laughing at him for weeks if that had happened.

To his horror, Barb and Sue were in the middle of a major brawl, causing a vast amount of collateral damage while trying to one up each other.

Varian ducked as the window shattered next to him from being struck by a stray lighting bolt. This was even worse than he thought it would be. They were surely all going to be arrested for property damage, and going to jail again would be even more embarrassing than dying.

"Barb! Barb!" Varian called out trying to get the older woman's attention. She didn't hear him. He fished out a spare chimball out of his coat and threw it at her, knocking the trash can lid that road upon out from underneath.

"Hahahaha" Sue laughed. "Next time you ought to get a better dance partner."

"Why did you do that!" Barb shouted at him. "I had her on the ropes!"

"Sure ya did, Sugar." Sue taunted. "And I'm the Possum Queen of the Ozarks."

"Barb, you need to stop!" Varian explained. "Look at what you're doing! I know you want to help, but we aren't prepared for this. Let me just call my fri-"

"Nonsense. I got this! She ain't any tougher than a slippery talent agent." And with that Barb called the garbage can lid to her once more and flew after Sue, who was already skating away.

Varian silently prayed to the heavens and whatever being controlled them, if such a being existed, to just take him out now.

That's when he noticed Stu and Juniper cuddling on a bench nearby.

"Don't you ever feel like you just want to skate away and never come back?" Stu asked her.

"Uh huh," Juniper nodded as she rested her head on his shoulder. "And never have to listen to someone nagging at you ever again."

"Uh, guys!" Varian waved at them trying to get their attention. "Yoo-hoo, Hello!?" They didn't notice.

"Hey, we should run away together!" Stu cheered.

Juniper laughed, "and go where?"

"I don't know… I hear Oregon is nice."

"Oooh, and own a quiet little ranch with a pond." Juniper enthused.

"Yeah, with duckies!" Stu said.

"Uh, that's great you two, but what about stopping your parents first!" Varian butted in. He was still ignored.

"Oh, but Nana would never allow it." Stu suddenly said with a pout.

"Who cares what your Nana will allow." Juniper insisted. "Who cares what Mama says either! We're both 19. We're legal adults now, literally that's what the judge said when they sent us to jail. We can do what we want. It's our lives, not theirs!"

"You're right! I'm going to go right up to Nana and tell her that we wanna live our own lives! Th-that is... if you'll come with me and hold my hand while I do it?"

"Of course honey lips, and I'll tell Mama that I don't wanna be a superhero, or villain, or even a dancer. I just want to be your girl."

They shared a kiss and Varian sarcastically slow clapped for them. That finally gained their attention.

"I'm very happy for both of you, but in case you haven't noticed, both your Nana and your Mama aren't here anymore."

Both Stu and Juniper took a moment to look around, finally noticing the destruction around them.

"Where did they go?" Stu asked bewildered.

"They took off down that way, still fighting one another." Varian pointed out.

"We better go after them before they hurt one another." Juniper said, grabbing Stu's arm for comfort.

"Yeah, they won't be able to attend any future wedding if they're dead." Stu innocently, and matter of factly, commented. With that he scooped Juniper into his arms again, who in turn sighed contently and nuzzled her head onto his broad chest. "Hop on my back little dude and I'll give you a lift."

"Oh, I don't know…" Varian declined.

"Hop on," Juniper encouraged. "It'll be faster."

Warily and with more than just a little embarrassment Varian crawled into Stu's back.

"You good back there?" Stu asked.

"Yeah… I guess…"

"Great, here we go. Hold on tight."

Stu wasn't kidding as they took off like a shot and the world blurred around Varian as they went faster than even Gogo on a motorcycle.

------------------------

"There they are, I see them!" Fred shouted, "And it looks like… they're fighting each other?"

"They must have had a falling out." Hiro commented. "That's good for us though. We can surprise them both while they distract each other."

"Yeah, if we can catch up to them," Wasabi said over the intercom. "There they go again."

"They are heading towards Bakers Street." Baymax helpfully pointed out.

Big Hero Six followed the given directions and made chase after the supervillains.

------------------------

Sue sped up the side of a skyscraper at top velocity, trying to shake her pursuer. But Barb still flew after her. The annoying woman was even more relentless than those typical do-gooders that Sue usually fought.

She came to a stop on the roof.

"Give it up, and turn yourself in, villain." Barb announced as she joined her on the roof.

"You're one to talk." Sue snapped. "Didn't you just get out of the slammer yourself?"

"Yes! And my daughter and I have turned over a new leaf. It's called self improvement, ya old hag!" Barb shot another lightning bolt at her, which Sue dogged easily.

"Honey, you ain't no spring chicken yourself." Sue commented. She gauged the distance to make a jump to the next rooftop when another voice called out.

"Mama stop!"

Both women turned to see Stu skate onto the rooftop as well, carrying Juniper and Varian with him.

"You too Nana. This has got to end." Stu said as he gently set Juniper down and Varian fell off his back with a groan.

"Oooh I never want to do that again." He said as he gagged.

"Stu, what's gotten into you boy?" Sue asked.

Stu gave a questioning look at Juniper, who gently laid a comforting hand on his chest.

"Go on, you can do this. Tell her Sugar bear."

Stu took a deep breath… "Juniper and I are in love."

"What!?" Barb shouted.

"Awe, ain't that sweet." Sue cooed. "His first girlfriend. Now, if you're all done being sappy we still got a lot of banks to rob."

"No, Nana."

"No? Whatta mean, 'no' !?"

Stu straightened himself up and looked his grandmother in the eye. "I don't want to be a supervillain any more."

"You gotta be kidding me. What garbage has she been filling your head with, son?"

"Juniper!" Barb interjected. "Of all the silly, childish, nonsensical things you've ever done this has got to take the cake! I refuse for you to date this… this great ape of a correctional facility drop out!"

"No Mama." Juniper said as she hugged Stu. "I love him. He's the only one who understands me, and he actually listens to me!"

" I listen to you." Barb insisted.

"No you don't." Juniper shot back. "I said I wanted to be normal. Nothing has been 'normal' since you made me compete in that dumb beauty pageant when I was three. I just wanted to be a regular kid for once, and you broke your promise again seeking glory."

"I.. I was just thinking of your future baby." Barb defended.

"By turning me into a felon !?"

"See what you're getting into Stu?" Sue butted in. "You don't want to be wrapped up in all that family drama. Let's get going. We can count the loot at the hideout."

Stu held firm. "No, Nana. Stealing is wrong, and we're returning the loot."

"Well now you just sound like your mother." Sue sneered. "And just how do you plan on making a living?"

Stu looked to Juniper for encouragement and then pulled the letter he had been carrying around in his pocket. "I got an acceptance letter to San Fransokyo Art Institute. I wanna become an illustrator for children's books."

"He's really good at drawing." Juniper insisted.

"Oh for the love of Pete." Sue snapped. "There ain't no money to be had in being an artist!"

"She's right." Barb sighed, agreeing with her rival. "There's just no respect for hard working, talented, and not to mention beautiful individuals in this world "

"This ain't about you Mama." Juniper snapped and Barb looked as if the wind had been knocked right out of her. She only stood there gaping like a fish that had just been caught.

Just then Big Hero Six surrounded the quarreling group.

"Alright, hands up...'' Hiro ordered and then paused when spotted his adopted brother standing with the villains. " Varian ?"

Tadashi flipped back the mask of the lizard suit he was wearing. "What are you doing here?" he accused. "And why are you dressed like a pirate?"

Varian stiffened. "W-well why are you dressed like a chameleon?" He sputtered.

Tadashi went beat red, and shoved the helmet back down over his head.

"Sorry, if we made dinner even more awkward at your house." Juniper whispered to Varian sympathetically.

Varian brushed her off her concern. "Eh, don't worry about it."

"Varian, what are you up to this time?" Hiro asked.

"I'm trying to stop a disaster from happening." Varian said, offended. "And you're welcome by the way."

"For what!?" Wasabi said. "Joy riding with supervillains?"

" Supervillains !?" Barb screeched. "Well how do you like that!? That's gratitude for ya, Juniper. After all we did to help them?"

"That's right, mama." Juniper agreed.

"Uh... you helped us?" Gogo asked.

"Of course, we stopped the bad guys for you." Barb insisted.

"Bad guys?" Stu whined. "Are we bad guys?" he asked Juniper.

"Well, you did steal from a bunch of people, babydoll." Juniper meekly pointed out to him.

"Oh, yeah, right."

'Argh, I've had enough of this fiddle faddle." Sue rolled her eyes. "Contact me when you come to your senses, Sweetie Pie. I'll break you out of jail. Love you." And with that Sue started to stake away. The rest of the group moved in to get the jump on her, but were too slow.

Unfortunately, just as Sue was about to jump to the other rooftop, her broken skate sputtered, sparked and died; killing her momentum. She found herself suddenly falling.

"Nana!" Stu called out.

Just then Tadashi tripped on the tail of his super suit once more and out shot a sticky 'tongue' that wrapped around Sue's ankle, catching her.

"Wo-woah!" Tadashi yelled as he felt himself being dragged along the ground towards the ledge.

Fred rushed towards him and grabbed him from falling. Though they both struggled with Sue's weight.

"What the heck is this thing?" Tadashi grunted at Fred.

"It's a tongue. I use it to swing around in the suit." Fred explained.

"And you didn't think to tell me about this earlier?" Tadashi complained, as he gripped the tongue, to help keep from falling further. Fred could only give him a sheepish grin.

That's when Stu came behind them and lifted them both off the ground easily, pulling all three of them back to safety.

Everyone else also pitched in to help Sue back over the ledge without getting hurt.

She sat back down on the rooftop with a huff. "Okay... that could have gone better. Don't think just cause you saved my life I'm going to go all soft, now; get all sappy and start blubberin' like a loon."

"Are you okay Miss Sue?" Juniper sweetly asked her.

Sue blinked at her in surprise. "Oh, so it's 'Miss Sue' now? Next you'll be calling me Nana too, I guess?"

Juniper gasped, "I can ? Oh, thank you Nana." and she wrapped the supervillian into a tight hug.

"Wait... I didn't mean..... awe, shucks."

"I'm glad you're safe too, Nana," Stu said before giving them both a huge hug.

"Oooh, I can't stay mad at y'all. Let me in on this group hug!" Barb called out as she raced forward.

All three ignored Sue's annoyed glare.

"So now what?" Varian asked.

"We call the police." Hiro said.

Barb broke away from the group. "Oh we don't have to go back to jail do we? We were only trying to help."

"I... don't know…" Hiro said.

"It seems kind of hypocritical to leave them hanging just for doing what we do." Wasabi pointed out.

"Well… I guess we can… we can leave them out of our report…" Hiro said. "But next time... let us know whenever you're wanting to 'help out'."

"What about us?" Stu said. "I can't go to jail! I'll miss orientation!"

"Maybe if you return all the stuff you stole, and told the police that you're really, really sorry, and that you won't ever do it again, they'll let you off on good behavior?" Juniper suggested.

Sue rolled her eyes, "Oh, give me a break."

"That might not get you off the hook completely, but it would be a start." Hiro said.

Sue snorted, "Fine… let's get this over with." And she held out her hands as if she expected to be handcuffed then and there.

Not knowing what else to do, Honey Lemon placed sticky gel seals on her hands, as if to oblige her.

"Great! Now that's settled... can I go home and get out of this blasted suit!?" Tadashi asked as he stretched his back.

------------------------

"You know," HIro told Tadashi as he plugged Baymax into his charging case. "You did actually save the day back there. If you wanted to join the team... we could probably slot you in. We'll call ourselves Big Hero Seven instead."

He walked over to join his brother at his desk, where he sat hunched over his notebook.

Tadashi snorted back his laughter. "Yeeeaaahh, I think I've had enough superhero antic to last me for awhile. Besides I got a lot of school work to catch up on. Why not ask Varian instead?"

'We have, and he keeps insisting that he's not a superhero"

"Gee, I wonder why?" Tadashi sarcastically quipped. "After doing it for a day, superheroing a lot less fun than it looks."

"Awe, that's just because you haven't practiced enough." Hiro dismissed. "What is you're always telling me, 'If you want to get better at something you gotta keep trying''"

He took up a mocking posture and deepened his voice, doing a bad impersonation of his big brother.

Tadashi snickered. "Yeah, you got me there." He gave Hiro a soft smile. "I'm really proud of you; of what you're doing, how you've been helping everyone. It's... not what I had in mind when I said you should find new hobby... but you're helping a lot of people and I realize that now."

HIro flushed with pride. It was all he had ever wanted to hear for over a year, and now that he had heard it he didn't know how to respond. "You're such a sap... but thanks.. th-that means a lot to me... Hey, if it's just the super suit you had problems with, I can design you a new one. It can have whatever powers you want.. Super strength? Control of the weather, perhaps? You wanna fly?"

"Oh no... no.." Tadashhi laughed. "I'm good with keeping my two feet on the ground, thanks. Besides, you got school in the morning. You haven't time to build any more super armor. Good night."

Hiro rolled his eyes. "Night." He said and curled up in his bed to sleep. He didn't notice his brother filing away plans for his own super armor inside his notebook before going to bed himself.

------------------------

"And that's how I found my snuggly bunny." Stu said as he and Juniper held hands as they sat next to each other inside the conference room of the gym.

"And that's how I found my apple dumpling." Juniper sighed and the two of them rubbed noses at each other while making kissy noises.

'Awe, how adorable." Globby said as he stood behind the podium; ignoring Trina making a gagging face next to him. "True love really does conquer all. Thank you for sharing that inspiring story with us, you two. Now let us all welcome our second newest member to the reform school, Supersonic Sue."

Sue slouched in the folding chair, arms crossed in irritation, and grumbled. "I'm only here for my grandson... and cause the police said it was part of the parole."

"Well... It's admirable that you're willing to change for your child's well being. " Globby said, put off by the woman's obvious displeasure.

"Ehhh, whatever..." Sue rolled her eyes. "Just keep me away from blasted superheroes."

"Well.. heehee... then.. umm.. Let's move on to old business. Does anyone want to share their good deeds for the week? ... Varian?"

He turned to Varian, who was laying face first on the floor. All that was heard from the teen was a muffled moaning noise.

"Uh... you seem to be having an off day.. are you good?"

Varian responded by giving him a thumbs up from where he continued to lay.

"Okay then, well come back to ya, any else?"

"Yes! Oooh me! Me!" Barb raised her hand and jumped up and down.

"Okay Barb, what is your good deed?"

"I took up superheroing, and I've realized now that it's not for me, but how many other poor lost souls have been beaten down by the system and think they can't be better? So I'm writing an inspiring tell all book about my experiences! I call it: 'The Fall and Rise of a Superstar! If I can do it, so can you!' Copies start at $59.99 a piece."

Varian let out another muffled groan from where he lay as soon as she was finished.
