Chapter 2 - Moving out

((

The pictures I was going to use aren’t mine, so I think it’s better 4 me to just share the Wattpad link where you can see the story with the pics

))

I get inside my new home... it's very basic and simple, just a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and the living room, nothing to fancy but it's enough for the 3 of us.

I look at all the boxes in the living room's floor and sigh.

"Come on Haru, Void! Let me get you some water, after I finish unpacking we will go out to eat, who would like some chicken?"

Haru barks and runs inside, Void follows behind. I close the door, lock it and put a bow with water on the floor and the other on top of a tall box.

-

'It's hard to accept that they would put me out like this... at least they had some heart to get me a place to stay, and it's just a few blocks from UA, I still can't believe that I did it! I'm so happy! But so nervous... but I still did it!' I fist bump the air, then start getting the boxes that have "bedroom" in them in their place.

'I'm glad I passed the entrance, sadly I couldn't try for the hero course... they even had locked me up that day to make sure that I wouldn't even try' I start unpacking my things. 'If they see me in the hero course they will stop paying the bills of this apartment and I can't go make my dreams true while homeless and hungry... I'm so glad they gave me some kind of allowance'

After finishing getting the desk, bed and shelf set I start organizing everything. 'I heard a rumor that when you are in the U.A you get a few chances of getting in the hero course, I hope they are true, I will have to get the hard way around, but that's fine! I still have to learn how to fly and stuff, actually... I don't think I would pass even with my wings in the hero course exam... I can do so little with my wings...'

'But it's okay! Because I will go and be Plus Ultra!' I finish my room living it simple 'Maybe if I don't spend too much money, in a few months I could get this please a little better... but for now it's perfect'.

I go back to the living room and get the bathroom boxes to go unpack my things, but stop to take a better look at Haru and see her chewing something.

"Haru... what are you eating?" I approach her after putting down the boxes, but she starts to chew faster "HEY GIVE ME THAT!" I go to get her, but she is faster than me, so I had cornered her in the kitchen and immobilize her "Spit it out!" I open her mouth trying not to hurt her the best I can "SPIT IT OUT" I put my hand in her mouth and search for the thing "SPIT. IT. OUT." I finally get it and release her "Damn girl! You almost gave me a heart attack!" I look at the thing and see it's the cap of my shampoo "HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET THIS? The box was closed I'm sure..." I sigh and go wash the cap then go to the bathroom getting the boxes off the floor and taking it with me.

"Should I call then to tell that I got here safe?..."

'You are no daughter of mine'

'I wish I never had any of  you!'

"Maybe not... both of us hm..." I finish setting the bathroom. "That's better!" I smile at the result.

"Now I'm starting to feel more at home!" I go check on my pets and see they both in my bed, Haru by the feet and Void in my pillow "what time is it?" I look at the clock and see that is 16h(4pm) I started at 10h(10am) "Wow time pass fast when we are having fun! But not really... I'm starting to get tired... maybe I should take a break and- no! I can't! There is just the living room and the kitchen and I will have finished! Hmmmm... I deserve some good chicken tonight!"

I kiss the top of their heads "sweet dreams cuties!" I go to the living room and get everything ready to start the kitchen. "Hands to work people! And by people I mean me, myself and I" I get everything ready by 17h40(5h40) "Uuuuh! Pretty!"

"Damn! I'm such a sloth! I- need to... take a break!" I say between breaths while i go to sit in the bed to relax a little. "I really need to train hu?" I Sigh

"... is it normal to miss who doesn't love you?" The house was silent, I look at the window and see that it was starting to get dark "I will let my thoughts get to me later now I have shit to do" I get up and go unpack everything that was left.

...........timeskip

"FINALLY DONE! AAAAAAAH!" I trow myself at the couch and stay laying there for a few minutes.

'It's dark but there is a kfc near here so it won't too take long'

"Void! Haru! I'm going out! Do any of you want to come with me?" Void comes flying and sits at the top of my h/c hair "Okay big guy! We will have to come back so let's not get ourselves lost ok?" I get my jacket and put on some pants while at it 'these always hide them better'

"CAW!"

"That's the spirit! Sorry Haru, but only one at time" I pet her head and kiss it "You can sleep with me today because of that!"

"WOOF!"

"Hehehe bye! We will be back soon"

I grab my keys while I go I put the hood, then getting down the stairs.

'I like living in the 5th floor, I can have some nice view and am not so dependable of the elevator, that's good!' I get out of the apartment complex and go down to the right 'I remember passing by a kfc before getting home so it must be near'

Void goes to my shoulder and hide inside my hood behind my neck.

"Hey! Don't go-" I look around to see people looking at me with a weird look since I was almost screaming with no one, 'I feel so embarrassed, I can't go running back home because I'm hungry! And I can't go running in this neighborhood that I know nothing of' I sigh and keep walking straight ignoring the looks they are giving me.

'Wait... did I get my wallet?' I check my pockets "fuck!... Void... honey" I stop next to the wall out of people's way and cover my mouth with my hand, his head poke out of his hiding spot that is between my neck and my hair "I need you to go back and grab my wallet... please Void, I promise that you will get some tasty popcorn tomorrow, ok?" He nods and goes back home sigh.... I'm happy that it was hot today, or I wouldn't have let the window of the living room open' I wait a bit more until he came back with the wallet in his beak. "Yes! My sweet raven! My dark crow! My knight wing!" He drops it in my hands and goes back to hide behind my neck inside my hood.

"Thank you Void!" I whisper to him and go back to walk to the kfc to get my tasty chicken.

I walk in and drop my hood.

'I'm lucky that this place is 10min walking from home, but I will need to get groceries tomorrow while coming back from school... what class I was in? I think it was... 1-E General Studies, I have to use a skirt, so I will be missing some feathers... I already have my school uniform and my school material, since I already have the uniform I don't think they will let me change it' I sigh and go to the line to get my food.

I feel Void moving and turn my head to see his beak poking out of my h/c hair. "Void! If someone sees you I will get in trouble! Go back in!" I whisper while making him hide himself again and when I see is my turn to order, I make my order, pay and go sit in the farthest corner away from others eyes and take Void out. "You bird brain! I thought that crows were supposed to be smart!" He turns his back to me "don't you dare ignore me! I could get in trouble Void! If mom and dad get a call from the police for any reason I can say bye bye to my hero course dream... and would say bye bye to me you little-"

"Number 69?"

"Nice! Our order is ready!" I get up and go get it I see that Void still is in the table, I whistle, and he flies to me landing in my shoulder, I look at the lady in the counter, she is eyeing Void.

"Sorry form bringing him in, but he doesn't like being alone" I scratch his head and get my order to go "Have a nice night"

"Y-you too..." the lady goes back to work and I go out and start going home "I need a place to train... I can't even fly, so I will need to get everything right... how the hell will I ever-" I looked up to take a breath and saw him.... Hawks! I see doing inside the kfc that I just got out of "omg... what do I do? Hmmmmm..." I stare at the kfc door for a few minutes and am surprised that Hawks came out with a bow of wings already made, hot n steamy.

He turns his back to me and goes on to walk his merry way, but before he can get another step away from me my body acts on his on. "Pro hero Hawks wait, please!" He stops and turn around to face me 'damn he got all the good traits from mom and dad'...

"Hi! Need something?" He smiles down at me

"Could you tell me if you know any good place to train my quirk? I know that it's illegal to use it without the license but I need to train to become a hero!". He looks at me with a sweet smile

"Sure little bird, what's your quirk?" He faces me completely

"It's-..."

'Damn it... I don't think I should tell him and let him get suspicious of me... but I really need help with this so fuck it'

"It's just like yours but my wings can change colors"

He looks in my eyes, then look at my back and chuckles "Sorry but I don't see wings on your back little bird"

"Oh! I tuck them in!" He turns serious at that.

"Wait, what? You hide your wings? Why?"

"Hmmmm... mom and dad don't like them, so they tell me to hide them" this isn't a lie, but it also isn't the full truth.

"Can you fly at least?"

I shake my head. "I never tried before... and I am scared... really scared" I look at the ground in shame

"Hey is normal to be scared, I was terrified in my first flight"

"Really?! But you are so cool! And can fly so well" he laughs at that

"Yes, thank you, I am the way I am now because of my training, it would include things that I didn't want to do you will be fine as long as you have faith in yourself" he pets my head

"And a place to train" he chuckles again

"And a place to train, I have to go but here" he gave me a paper with an address not too far from home "that is a good and discreet place to train, good luck little bird" he pets my head again and flies above me "I hope to see you in the sky any day by now" he waves to me one more time and fly off.

'YES!' I smile wildly and start to sprint home 'thank you big bro! You are the best!'

Tomorrow is a new day, tomorrow is the day that I will start U.A! . . . . . . . ........................................................................

Omg this was so fun to write! I know that this chapter was kinda bland n stuff, but I wanted you all to feel connected with y/n, so a chapter with her alone may help me active it.

Also having Hawks in the end was by accident, I was planning on putting him after the usj incident, but this chapter would be too blunt if it would end with nothing to hold on to, so I changed a bit!

Hope u all r enjoying! A lot of kisses to u all , until next week

send me a ship: martha and bill!!

ew / nonono / maybe / could (very possibly) ship it / aww / otp / MY HEART

HMMMM I hadn’t ever considered this ship before, mostly because I’ve always enjoyed the idea of Martha and Mickey getting together and Martha seems pretty straight-coded to me, and the five-year age difference makes shipping difficult for the time period in which Martha travels with the Doctor. HOWEVER, that being said, I think it’s entirely possible that Martha could be one of those folks who prefers the opposite gender something like 99% of the time, but every once in a while, someone comes along and piques that other 1%. In such a case, I think she and Bill would work splendidly together.

I can imagine that, in a universe where the two of them are the same age, they meet in school–maybe they walk the same route, maybe one day Bill falls down and Martha fixes her up, maybe the fiery-spirited Bill saves Martha from some bullies; nobody can quite remember how or why, only that the two of them bond straightaway–and for years, they are just the best of friends. Schoolday afternoons, you can find them together at the park, or the mall, or in either of their gardens, holding hands and laughing and swinging and whispering secrets, as if they don’t already know each other’s hearts exactly. Bill talks Martha into skipping classes every once in a while–the scandal!–and Martha sneaks her an answer or two for a test on more than one occasion. They go to the cinema every Saturday and share a popcorn during and an ice cream after, and sometimes, even when they’ve spent the whole day together, they’ll fall asleep talking to each other on the phone at night.

Bill spends so much of her time at Martha’s house that she’s sort of absorbed into the family unit. Francine fusses over her, Clive gives her all sorts of embarrassing nicknames, Tish ignores her in the way that older sisters do, and she and Leo get into all sorts of scrapes together. In exchange, something about Bill seems to embolden Martha, give her confidence in a way that no one else can quite manage. She’s there when Leo and his girlfriend have their baby, and she’s there when Martha’s family breaks apart; she holds the strings together on the days when Martha is so tired she just can’t do it anymore. And on the nights that Bill misses her mum so much that her heart feels like it might split apart, Martha is there, with a carton of ice cream and a selection of terrible movies, and the two of them snuggle up under a duvet and just the warmth of Martha there next to her lessens the hurt a little bit, enough for Bill to survive it.

Martha and her family are the first folks Bill comes out to. Martha’s not surprised–how could she be, with how close the two of them are?–but she is the first to give Bill a hug and tell her how proud she is. She even gives her a little coming-out gift, something she’s been holding onto for a while, waiting until Bill was ready to tell her the truth, and she gives it to her now–it’s nothing fancy, just a cheesy little rainbow charm on a chain, but Bill absolutely adores it and wears it every day, even when the metal starts to tarnish and some of the colors begin to fade. She’s just so happy that Martha is such a good friend, and that she doesn’t have a problem with any of Bill’s girlfriends, either.

Well. Maybe that’s not entirely true, but Martha tells herself Bill doesn’t need to know that. The fact is, Martha gets a little jealous, because now Bill is spending all this time with other girls. It feels a little like being replaced. But Martha supposes it’s the same way Bill feels when she has a boyfriend, so that’s fair, right? Never mind that something squirms in her gut when she sees Bill exchange kisses with other girls; never mind that her cheeks heat up when she sees Bill and another girl holding hands, and she has to physically fight not to roll her eyes whenever Bill waxes poetical about this cute girl or that. She’s just being a stick in the mud, just being awkward because it’s two girls, or maybe she’s just being overprotective, Martha thinks; she’s just being defensive of Bill the same way she would be with a sibling. Just like she is with Tish and Leo, she thinks! Except that she’s never been quite that way with the two of them, but never mind that. It all makes sense and she congratulates herself on a reason well-rationalized.

But a trip to the moon and a chance meeting with a strange alien fellow has a funny way of broadening one’s perspective, especially after encounters with Shakespeare and Daleks and Weeping Angels and trips to the end of everything, everywhere. Shakespeare is a dreadful flirt and Martha laughs at how Bill would wrinkle her nose at him. A bloke kisses her when they’re moments away from death and it would be nice enough but Martha can’t help but think she wishes it was someone else. And she’s so dreadfully, dreadfully lonely, stranded in 1913, wishing that Bill was there with her; she’s not sure why, but the nights are the worst, and sometimes she imagines Bill curled up in the tiny bed with her, sometimes she dreams–well, but dreams don’t mean anything, right?

(Bill dreams, too, while Martha is gone; she dreams that Martha stops traveling with this Doctor fellow, whoever the hell he is, and maybe, just maybe, she realizes just how Bill feels, just how she’s always felt, but always been too afraid to say…)

And during the year that never was, as Martha walks the earth, treading miles and miles until her feet ache and her soles bleed, all she can think is that the Master got most of her family, but he didn’t get Bill. At least Bill is safe. At least she’s safe.

(Bill, on the other hand, spends the year hoping, desperately, that Martha is still alive; at night, she looks up at the stars and clutches her little rainbow pendant, now hopelessly tarnished and completely bleached of all its original colors, and she prays that if there is such a thing as a God, that she will please bring back Martha. She doesn’t even have to love Bill the way she loves her, just please, please keep Martha safe.)

After the year rewinds itself, when the Doctor drops Martha and her family off back at home, Martha offers the Doctor a hug and a peck on the cheek before running out the TARDIS doors as fast as her feet can carry her. It’s been a hell of a trip, she tells him, but she’s learned a few things and now it’s time for an adventure much closer to home.

Bill, of course, doesn’t remember the year that never was, but something stirs in the back of her mind nonetheless when the front doorbell rings; the hairs on the back of her neck stand up on end, and when she looks down at her little rainbow pendant, she swears she remembers a time when its paint was chipped and its metal black. But all of that is pushed straight out of her mind when she opens the door to receive an armful of Martha, ramming into her with all the grace of a freight train and a kiss on the lips to match.

“Sorry,” Martha laughs a little shakily, pressing her forehead to Bill’s; she can’t look her in the eye yet, it’s all too fresh, too new, too tender, “I just–I thought you should know.”

Stunned, Bill doesn’t say anything in response; instead, she lets her hands and her lips do the talking for her.

(They still go to the cinema every Saturday, after; they just share kisses along with their popcorn and ice cream, now.)

Four Names for Love

Gotham | BatCat | BabyFic | Multi-chapter | Read on AO3

Summary: When Bruce parted ways with Gotham he was leaving behind more than he thought. Meanwhile Selina is trying to find a way to herself after being abandoned again and on top of that she finds out she was left with a lot more than a heartbreak.

——————————————————————————

Philia part V

‘Lena? That movie you wanted to watch is on the catalogue now. Have you finished your homework?’

No answer. Holly frowned.

Sighing, Holly grabbed her phone from the coffee table, Helena must have be listening to music with her headphones again.

Lena? The Cat Returns is on Netflix. Wanna watch with me? I’ll make us some popcorn :)

Sorry, too tired. (sleepy emoji)

R u sure? It’s only 10.

No answer.

Even though Holly believed in miracles, that one was a tiny bit hard to believe. When Helena was five and she moved in with Selina, the girl never went to bed early. I was actually a routine fight between mother and daughter until one day Selina gave up and said she could sleep as late as she wanted as long as she was ready to school in time every morning.

So Holly decided to check it out. She knocked on Helena’s door, no answer, she pushed the door a little, the lights were out the Helena lied asleep in her She-ra pyjamas. Well, maybe she had a busy day at school. Holly sighed and went back to the kitchenette thinking about stealing a bit of Selina’s nice martini when she found a handmade chocolate truffle wrapped on yellow cellophane with a post it on the top of It, ‘For Holly’ written on Helena’s curly handwrite.

‘Awwwn, cute!’

She took the candy and a glass of martini and went back to the sofa, there was another thing she have been wanting to watch but it was not appropriate for a nine years old and it didn’t involve enchanted cat royalty.

ooo

Helena sneaked out of her room, her mom was still out and she knew she wouldn’t be coming at least until 3. She tiptoed silently to where Holly lied asleep, her plan was working. It wasn’t hard to take one of her mother’s prescription sleeping pills, crush it and put it on Holly’s favourite coconut cream filled chocolate truffles. Alfred taught her to make them, and they were very good. Helena turned off the TV, some weird vampire drama with a lot of blood was on. They needed to talk about Holly’s taste on fiction. She grabbed the throw blanket from the chair and coved Holly, she didn’t even stir. That stuff her mother was taking was strong. Maybe they should talk about that too. When her mom and Holly stopped being mad at her that is. Helena felt a pang of guilty, but it didn’t last.

ooo

That was being a very, very demanding job. She had to go in three terrible dates with Brad Ritchie, the most absurdly dull person she even known in her entire life to get information for that heist. He was a new money guy, with no idea what to do with his millions so, she thought, he had spun a wheel of rich people’s hobbies and picked art. Most of the things he would buy were pure overpriced pretentious crap, but he recently bought a genuine piece of Mughal art that was in her client’s wish list for a very long time.

And also Brad was the kind of the guy that made her job feel less than a crime and more like a public service. Of course only herself and her client were being serviced, but so what? They were part of the public too.

The actual heist was no trouble at all, the penthouse apartment was easy to break in, she hacked the security system in just a few seconds and the lock in the vault was from a model she had already done before, the actual harder part was to find the small black velvet box among all the crap he collected. It was a stunning piece, a dagger, it’s handle was sculpted jade with gold, rubies and emeralds embellishments. If her client wasn’t paying an obscene amount of money she would have kept it for herself. A girl can enjoy nice things.

She was about to leave the scene, already thinking about the sinking in her bathtub with her new honeysuckle bath salts when he appeared with his ridiculous flying rat costume.

‘Put it back.’

She just rolled her eyes. What gave him the strange idea that dress like a weirdo gave him permission to give her orders?

‘Selina, put it back.’ He said again grabbing her arm.

‘How did you even know I’d be here?’ Selina asked perplexed.

‘I know about you little business, Catwoman. You got famous. I knew exactly what you were doing with Brad Ritchie.’

‘Yeah? And what was that exactly?’ Was he calling her an opportunistic slut? Well, she could admit that she was opportunistic and being a sexually available single mom made you slut according to Brenda, that bitch head of Helena’s school PTA.

‘Seducing him to steal from him.’

‘So what if I was? It’s nothing of your business. Unhandled me!’ She said pulling her arm back, but he didn’t let go.

‘Put it back.’ He said one more time, one too many.

Selina used the arm he was holding to elbow him in the stomach, Batman took the hit, but didn’t seen out of breath like she expected and instead tried to grab her again, but it was too late, Selina had already started to flew. He chased her through the rooftops.

‘I see that you have been training’ she shouted between jumps. ‘You might be all big and strong now, but I’m still faster.’

He didn’t answer to her provocations just kept pursuing her, and as she jumped each time higher and faster Selina felt adrenaline coursing through her body like she hadn’t felt in a very long time. She found after a while that the reason for the face to be starting to hurt wasn’t caused by the cold wind at all, but because she haven’t been able to stop smiling during the whole chase. And to give Batman a little of credit he had almost touched her a few times, each fleeting contact even through their full covered bodies sending electric straight to her centre.

But the fun ended when the sirens started to wail coming from the city. Batman stopped and Selina, from safety, observed him, it was like he was hearing some sort of comm, then he left following the sirens. He didn’t look back at her. But he didn’t before either.  

ooo

Bruce is tired, if running after Selina wasn’t hard enough, he had already stopped three muggins before getting to her, and there was a robbery at a department store downtown with a hostage situation, fortunately nobody died but two cops and a victim were shot. Police and people didn’t trust Batman yet to complicate matters, and he wasn’t exactly trying to be friendly either. But what really got to him that night was Selina. Why was she still leading a life of crime? Haven’t she changed at all? Or had she changed indeed, but not improved? He knew she was a good person, so why did she continue doing bad things? He couldn’t wrap the reason around his mind.

He was going to stop at the study to get his laptop for his report when he had such a weird flashback that he thought his tired mind was playing tricks on him.

Selina was coming down from the window, the wind coming from outside blowing her curls and the curtains. But that Selina was even younger than the one he remembered from their first days, she also wore a pair of neon purple sneakers what child Selina wouldn’t never be caught dead wearing. Her wide smile was missing a tooth.

‘Hi! Have you seen my Alfie?’

  ——————————————————————————

Yay! We had classic BatCat dynamics in this one and you had a peak on Miss Helena. And she is a piece of work as expected to a kid raised by Selina and spoiled by Alfred and Barbara as her pseudo-grandparents (but Barbara will personally gut anyone who points that to her, her own daughter is after all just a few months older than Helena). Bruce also has to let his lovesick memory Selina go and face the real thing, meanwhile Selina’s anger don’t stop her feeling other things for Bruce. Hmmmm.

There is A LOT of story to happen still, guys. I hope to be able to keep you with me until the end.

Keep taking care of yourselves and your loved ones. I’ll be back soon.
