My Glorious Purpose | Loki x OC Chapter 8

A/N: I know this chapter is basically a repeat, but c’mon, we needed Loki in on this!

Pairing: Loki x OC (Tera Digitalis)

Word Count: 2.2k+

Warnings: Mentions of touching without consent

Chapter 8: Still Worthy

(Loki's POV)

I can not believe Odin decided to banish me to Midgard. I do not belong with those savages! But I had to accept my fate; once Odin made a decision, no one could sway him, not even Mother. Heimdall opened the Bifrost for Thor and I and we entered. We step out on the balcony of Stark Tower. Before I can head inside, Thor shoves me to the ground and places his hammer on my chest. I cry out indignantly.

"I will be right back," he says, practically skipping through the doors.

I lay there, waiting. I can hear Stark speaking on his contacting device with Romanoff. I'm not listening to what they were saying. I'm fuming with the fact Thor felt it a necessity to restrain me. As if I had anywhere else to go. My magic is reduced. I still have some, but definitely not enough to create a portal to escape this miserable planet.

I hear Thor say something in excitement. I begin listening in.

"Lady Tera! You are in this device as well? Splendid!"

"No wait, Thor! That button hangs-"

At the mention of the girl's name I begin to think of the last time I was on Midgard. It was after Thor and his companions had closed my portal, and had surrounded me. The girl had a wound to her head, it was bleeding profusely. I was appalled at the fact that they had allowed her to engage in combat. She's too young and untrained. Everyone else is either a super warrior or a highly trained assassin. But they still allowed her to fight. Unbelievable. Then the day at the park, when Thor was taking me back to Asgard. I was glaring at Romanoff, when she turned to Barton, whispering something. His smile irked me so I looked away, catching her eyes. She stared back at me until she blushed. I smile at the effect I had on her.

I'm brought out of my thoughts when I hear her voice.

"‒just hung up with you Tony."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Hey Point Break, the rest of the team is here," I hear Stark telling her.

"Hi Thor!" I hear her telling him.

"Lady Tera! I have missed you a great deal!"

I hear her laughing at something. Even though I have Mjolnir on my chest, I am able to raise my head to see what is happening. I watch Thor spinning her around. Annoyed, I drop my head back down.

"Okay you two. Put her down before you destroy my building Thor."

I stop listening to what they were saying. Thinking about my brother and Tera. I wonder if he had feelings for her. She clearly enjoyed his presence. I quickly push the thought out of my head. Why should I care if he did?

I start listening again at the mention of my name.

"Making him live with those he tried to destroy."

I hear Stark coughing. "You're telling me Reindeer Games is coming back to Earth?"

"No." Thor replies solemnly.

Stark sighs, "Hallelujah."

"He's already here!"

The next thing I know, Thor is running towards me. I struggle, trying to get up before they can see me lying helplessly on the floor.

"Thor! Get your stupid, glorified hammer off me this instant!"

Thor laughs, as he removed the stupid thing off my chest. I stand and Thor removes the cuffs. I brush myself off, embarrassed they had seen me on the floor.

Stark steps forward. "Thor, you can't be serious! You expect us to- to babysit a homicidal murderer?"

I roll my eyes. Stark is so dramatic.

Thor clasped Stark's shoulder. "Not to worry Man of Iron. I will be here to watch over him."

Stark frowns and walks back inside, annoyed.

"We don't have a room for him Thor," Rogers reminds him.

"Not to worry Captain. He shall have Mjolnir's room."

"Mjolnir has a room?" I hear someone ask, laughing.

I'm too annoyed by my situation to realize that she is standing mere feet away. When I look at her, it takes everything in my power to hold my tongue.

She looks stunning. Her black dress fits her perfectly. Her makeup makes her eyes sparkle and stand out against the black. At the sound of her laugh, my heartbeat quickens. I realize I have been staring, and hoping no one has noticed, I quickly look away.

"Alright Thor, I don't think we can refuse this, so if Loki does anything, you are responsible," Rogers tells him.

"Of course." My so-called-brother responds, with a bow of his head.

"I'm standing right here you morons," They have the audacity to speak of me in such a way when I am standing in front of them?

"Come brother."

I turn up my nose. "I would rather stay out here."

"Just leave him Thor," Tera tells my brother. "You come inside, I want to tell you guys about my mission tonight."

Thor smiles at her when she takes his hand and they re-enter the building. I hear Tera telling them about her night. I stand in the shadows, not wanting anyone to see me listening. I notice she hesitates several times and I hear her think about which parts she wants to leave out. She's worried about what her team would think.

It's an hour later when she's done recounting her story. The men and Romanoff say they are heading off to bed, while Tera walks towards the kitchen. I hear Thor saying he is going to come fetch me. I cast an illusion of myself, pacing the balcony and I turn myself into a raven, perched on the ledge.

He steps outside. "Come brother," he says to my illusion. "I will show you to your new room."

My illusion rolls his eyes at Thor, but follows dutifully.

"Are you alright Lady Tera?" I hear Thor ask her, when he is back inside.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, I'm fine Thor. Just relaxing."

"Alright then, I will see you in the morning. Goodnight!"

"Night Thor."

He walks down the hall to his room, with my double by his side.

I turn back into my Asgardian form and step into the shadows again.

I watch Tera slide off the counter, making her way back to her couch, munching on a biscuit.

I step out of the shadows. "Well, well. If it isn't the mortal child."

She opens her eyes.

"I thought you went to bed."

"Please. I just needed the oaf to think that," I pause, a silence fills the air. "You look lovely," I tell her.

"Thanks," she sounds suspicious of me.

I make my way across the living room and sit at the other end of the couch.

I decide to mess with her. She seems to be the only one who is willing to speak with me, the others merely ignore my presence, which I greatly appreciate. I want nothing to do with these mortals.

I smirk. "I don't think however, you dressed this way for me."

She glares in response. "No I didn't. I don't dress to please anyone. And besides, I saw you standing there, listening to my story."

"That is correct. But I believe that I am not the only one to avoid the truth."

"What are you talking about? I didn't avoid anything."

I shake my head. Did she forget the powers I possess? "I heard your thoughts. You felt it is necessary to leave parts of your story out. I am no fool. You left out information from the others."

"So what if I did?"

"Nothing," I reply airily. " I just want the full story."

She stands in anger. "Why do you care what he did to me?"

"So he did do something then?" I feel a smirk forming.

She slowly sits back down and hangs her head, staring at the ground.

"Yes," she whispers.

I scoot closer to her, debating if it is a good idea, if I should be making myself open to her.

"Do you wish to talk about it?"

She shakes her head, but I hear her think the opposite.

"Well which is it?"

She looks at me, and I am startled to see tears in her eyes. Whatever happened to her has affected her a great deal. I pity her. She looks away from me.

"Okay. I'll tell you. But you can't tell anyone!"

"You have my word."

She takes a breath and starts.

"Well, when Nat left us, he took my face in his hands and started looking me over. I felt like a piece of meat displayed for him, to do as he pleased."

I clench my fists. How dare this mortal look at her in such a way?

"He started saying how I'm not like other girls," she continues. "He started saying that I didn't throw myself at him like all the other women did when he entered the room. He said I was playing hard to get and that he likes that. Then he grabbed my waist and pulled me to him and whispered in my ear that women who are like that 'taste the sweetest'."

I hear her voice catch in her throat, she struggles to keep speaking.

Her voice quiets to a whisper as she continues.

"I told him we should go somewhere private, so I can get him on my own and get the information from him. He took me by my hand and we went into the elevator. As soon as the doors closed, he tried kissing me again, but I stopped him again."

Tears begin spilling down her cheeks. I want to take her in my arms, to comfort her, but I can't. She has been terribly violated by a man, feeling she had lost her worth. She doesn't need another one touching her.

"I told him if he wanted a kiss, he would have to do what I tell him to do. He then put both his hands on my waist. I tried to back out of his grasp, but I couldn't. He bent over to whisper into my ear again. He told me I taste divine, and I felt his lips placed at the base of my neck and I began to feel him trail his tongue upward toward my jaw."

At these words, I want to find that man. To make him suffer. Not kill him, no. There are much worse things than death.

"I couldn't take it anymore, so I made him think I would please him. I cuffed him to his chair and gagged him. Then I called Nat and Clint to come."

She looks up at me when she finishes, utterly broken.

I do the only thing I believe to be justifiable in this situation. I carefully wipe her tears.

She looks at me flabbergasted.

"It is not your fault, Tera."

She shakes her head. "Yes it is. I let him do that to me. I allowed it to happen. I gave up my dignity to him. He was enjoying himself, I knew it and yet I did nothing to stop him. I'm filthy, disgusting. I'm sick. I let this happen."

I take her hands in mine.

"Don't. Don't allow yourself to think of yourself in such a manner. You did what you needed to. This is not your fault. It will not make anyone think lower of you."

She gives me a hint of a smile

"Why don't you go to sleep? You need it."

She stands. "What about you?"

I wave my hand, standing as well. "I will find my way. It's not hard when your beacon is a snoring Thor."

She stands there. I feel remorseful. I wish there is something else I can do to convince her this is not her fault.

But before I can think of what to do, she does something that surprises me.

She throws her arms around my waist, embracing me.

"Thanks for not degrading me," she whispers. "And for listening."

She grabs her heels and hurries to retire. I stand there, rooted to the spot, and utterly confused. Why would she do that? She knows what I did to this city, what I had planned for Midgard, and yet she believes she has the right to display any sort of affection or thanks to me? Her reasoning must be impaired.

I head down the hall, towards the sound of Thor snoring. I enter the room next to him that has a name card; Mjolnir is written on it. I snort in disgust and rip it off. As soon as I walk in, I notice everything is red and gold. With a wave of my hand, I turn the red to green.

Much better.

I lay down on the bed but I'm unable to sleep; I'm livid. In Asgard, if a man ever touched a lady without her permission, the penalty was his hands, at least. We haven't had any incidents occur like that in Asgard for centuries. If anything ever happened to a lady, she would be seen as a hero, having to deal with something so low and dastardly. And yet, on Midgard, if this ever happens to a woman, it would be deemed as her fault. I do not understand the customs here on Midgard. They are so backwards.

And that fact that she felt like she had to thank me for not degrading her? As if this were her fault? I do not understand how mortals believed it is the female who is at fault. It's baffling.

I slowly drift off into a dreamless sleep, seeing Tera's eyes filled with tears, burned into my eyelids.

For the characters HCs Darman? He's so precious and we need *more*

Link the meme here. Accepting, but if you send me the whole meme as opposed to specifics it might take a bit. Thank you to anon for the ask.

clothing style.

Dar dresses pretty simply even after he leaves the army. Bright cheery shades of color -anything but red or maybe orange- and well fitting, but comfy. Probably starts wearing dad cardigans very early on. Lots of space!hoodies, which Etain steals. Comfy, practical, cheery. Likes to roll up the sleeves of things to his upper forearm because Etain notices ™ and also keeping the fabric out of the way of whatever he’s working on. That said, he spends as much time in armor as civvies.

before - bed routine.

In barracks, his routine is exceedingly simple. Dar is one of those people who dozes off easy, so he more or less wraps up whatever he’s doing, figures out the best way to secure the door or react to it opening, washes his face and brushes his teeth and is out. Never trust that you’ll actually get all 8 hours of sleep you’ve been promised.

Out of barracks, it’s a little bit more indulgent. If they have the water/aren’t rationing, Dar likes a second hot shower before he goes to sleep. Checks on the little ones, small snack or maybe hot chocolate, brush teeth. If he’s at home with Etain or they’re deployed to the same place, the he typically has to go retrieve her and coax her into bedtime - he can and sometimes does fall asleep while she’s still working but drastically prefers the bed with her in it even more so with her in his arms or holding him- maybe listen to Etain read or flip through a holozine for the roughly 10 minutes it takes him to pass out. (Etain frequently is taking things out of his hands after he falls asleep.)

In the Rhedian/Etain/Dar verse he has to track them both down, probably, and then they negotiate who gets to be the middle and who gets to be the edge. Darman can only sleep facing the door while laying on his side, so if he’s on the outer edge of the bed, he’s the little spoon and whoever curls up behind him has their arm on his hip, and if he’s in the middle or outer edge he’s big spooning

eating habits

Darman eats a lot. While he’s in GAR he eats big meals and eats them quickly, and it takes a few years after getting out to change the habit in any significant way, but left to his own devices in peace time he’d be a grazer. He doesn’t have strong preferences, taste-wise, but he loves novelty of food choices, even when his wife and kids are slightly intimidated.

As it is, he snacks a lot and is completely unabashed at eating things off of Etain or a brother’s plate. He makes up for it by becoming an excellent cook and spoiling his loved ones with their favorites. Absolutely steals all of the sweets Etain isn’t overly attached to, but makes up for it by offering her a lot of his fruit. Always drinks from her caf cup. When he gets the cure and his metabolism slows down a bit, it takes getting used to.

concept of home and family

He’s got a very, very Mandalorian view of family. Home is where his brothers and Etain and the kids are not only around him but safe and comfortable. Family isn’t blood- it’s the people who he can rely on to have his back no matter what who have chosen to show him love and trust and earn it in return. It’s a chosen obligation and support network.

hobbies.

Cooking, working out, sparring, casual team and pairs sports (though it’s as much about the challenge/social interaction as him actually giving a shit about sports), reading general-interest just casually informative holozines (like, space!Time or NatGeo) , watching the odd romantic holo, playing with his kids, word puzzles

fighting style.

listen, I do not know enough about SW weaponry /combat or even real life weaponry and combat to answer this question thoroughly. I do think he looks into at least the basics of Teras-Kasi once Sith start showing up looking for his kids.

what calms your muse down after a bad day?

It depends on the kind of bad day. If he’s feeling drained, sometimes a hot shower, a cup of hot chocolate, sitting with Etain as she meditates, his legs bracketing hers and letting her deep breathing set the pace or else just outright cuddling.

But if he’s restless or overloaded or angry he kicks everyone else out of the kitchen so he can be alone and takes it out on the vegetables until a particularly difficult technique or recipe distracts him and pulls him out of his head a bit. Occasionally he goes back to his roots and works on some stripped down demolitions projects at the nearest work bench. Working out alone doesn’t help in that kind of mood because he’s still in his own thoughts, but if he’s up to being around other people, sparring or some sort of high-intensity pairs game (slingball, etc) does.

(Depending on her own mood/the reason for the upset Etain sometimes starts out sparring with him but is amenable to shifting to other distractions, too. Sometimes they skip straight to the pinning down if she notices he needs to burn tension and who ever starts off gets the go ahead.)

ways your muse says i love you.

his love language is in nurturing and gift-giving. he’s highly sensitive to small changes in his loved ones demeanor and part of his way of showing them he loves them is immediately trying to give or do something to make them feel better. have they eaten? do they need painkillers? what’s small thing he can do or give to fix it?

alternatively if it’s less of a “need immediate support” situation he’s still trying to figure out what small thing he can give to show his affection: a stolen gift for Etain, sharing a food he’s fond of, double checking Rhedian’s kit for her without asking, or something he’s made for them in particular “I thought of you, and I want you to be content”.

describe your muse’s laugh.

softer than you’d think, but Dar has a terrible time forcing laughter, so if you hear it it’s warm and genuine or angry/bitter AF and which ever emotion it is feels readily apparent.

what items can be found in your muse’s pockets

assuming we’re just talking civvie pockets and not his gear belt then the star wars equivalent of a swiss army knife, credits, a false identchip (he swaps out which one), spare blank datachip, comlink/holoprojector combo, hard candies that are less prone to melting or some sort of snack, his wedding ring if he’s working on something dirty or delicate, sometimes little handwritten notes Etain has left him on flimsiplast, a stylus and a all-materials marker of some sort

talk about your muse’s most prized possession(s)

Dar really doesn’t get too hung up on possessions. His wedding ring is highly sentimental but if push comes to shove can be replaced. The only thing he couldn’t easily abandon would be the very few holos he has of his first squad (which, like, SW has the Cloud, right?), a few surviving love letters of Etain’s, and maybe when he’s older and his brothers start dying some of their armor plates.

describe your muse’s walk

He always tends to walk like he’s wearing Katarn armor even if he isn’t: chest forward, long strides, walking with intent and clearing civvies easily out of his way. He does fuck up a knee as an older man, but unlike Kal, no one has to beg him to go to treatment and it only bothers him if he’s been extremely rough on it or he’s run down in general.

talk about your muse’s accent.

A weird, hard to place amalgam unless you know that he’s a clone commando. Part basic non-distinct Core World Broadcast Pronunciation from lots of flash training as a young child, the slightest edge of Kuat and of Keldabe from learning from Kal Skirata, eventual hard edge to his Mando’a that’s unique to the Neshurok district on Nar Shadda. People tend to be surprised he doesn’t sound Concordian, but he didn’t have enough exposure to Fett for that.

describe your muse’s smile

wide, artless, not the “crooked and charming” type so much as genuinely expansive

how often does your muse get sick?

Not too often- he has a good immune system, special genetic modification, and more vaccinations than any reasonable being could keep track of. That said, it’s impossible to avoid getting sick forever with kids.

does your muse know when to rest, or do they push themselves?

Dar’s a lot better at giving himself physical rest (training to make the best use of his efforts and preserve his ability to keep going kicking in) than mental rest in a daily context, though he absolutely has overdone it on missions (conditioning that you are less than your objective and replaceable is a bitch.)

does your muse snore? sleeptalk? sleepwalk?

He snores. Etain says terribly, he says he’s not as bad as any of the rest of Omega, which may or may not be true.

the thing(s) your muse thinks about before falling asleep.

depends on the night. anything from galactic politics to memory of his first squad to the annoying squeak from the air vent that needs looking at to the breathlessness edge of Etain’s voice or her touch before they finally settled down

is your muse a fitful or a quiet sleeper?

Darman has nightmares that wake him up and leave him upset, but unless you’re a Jedi it can be hard to tell because he doesn’t move around very much in his sleep until he wakes up full of adrenaline and gasping. On a normal night, he’s a pretty quiet sleeper and most of his movement comes from adjusting to Etain, who absolutely is restless. That said, he’s fairly easy to wake.

your muse’s thoughts on cops and other authority figures

Cops are initially sorted into the Jaller Obrim schema of tentative friendship/support, but that falls by the wayside pretty quickly when he’s a fugitive from the galactic regime.

He’s respectful of authority figures in theory and knows how to follow a chain of command, clone-officers being easily followed, but his experiences with Jedi Generals who didn’t know what they were doing, outright malevolent Imperial Army officials, the constant threat of death from the Kaminoans, Kal’s subtle manipulations, etc all mean he keeps a weary eye on them until they prove otherwise.

He doesn’t strive to be an iconoclast, but he’s inherently aware of the danger authority figures pose to his survival and those he loves.

skills and special talents.

cooking, singing, hand to hand, demolitions, shooting, chemistry, covert ops, battlefield first aid, good listener, decent at sketches though he doesn’t pursue it

disabilities or illnesses.

Darman has very clear PTSD plus possibly some other comorbid mental health conditions. He does have old battle injuries that bother him somewhat as he gets older, including one knee, but nothing that’s immediately physically obvious or debilitating espc since he gets appropriate medical care.

habits and mannerisms.

lots of soft humming or mouthing a song he will never sing alone in front of strangers, deceptively calm expression even when he’s ruminating, going over his gear and equipment for the fifth time as a comfort thing

introvert or extrovert.

Ambivert.

religious or non - religious

Ambivalent- He’s married to a Jedi and the father of multiple Force-using kids, so he can’t exactly deny the whole Force-thing, but he doesn’t philosophize it the way Etain inherently does.

As for te kara’se… again, ambivalence. When Etain start taking to a… worship isn’t precisely right, but neither is relationship with Tarre Vizsla and Ranah teh Naast, he listens and doesn’t disapprove, but also doesn’t necessarily disagree. If he speaks to the Mand’alore of old, if he sometimes asks for advice, when his brothers have gone quiet too long or his wife’s blood is spotting his armor or his children are crying in fear… he doesn’t know whether or not he expects them to listen.The asking is still worth something, though. He’s likely to ask his brothers in the manda too, as much as anything else.

something your muse could never forgive.

injuries to his loved one, especially life-threatening or shattering ones, especially purposeful neglect or abuse or the cheap spending of their life. It’s easier to forgive his own blood spilt than that of his heart.

something that makes your muse smile.

naps in the sunshine, his kids being goofballs or learning something new. a brother earning some new happiness, the little looks Etain gives him when they talk without talking, the pleasure of a new taste or mastering a new skill, someone running his fingers through his hair or holding his hand

something that scares your muse.

the constant risk to his wife and children, and once the Mandalorian “Great Purge” starts to his entire family. the possibility of somehow letting down or disappointing or becoming estranged from a brother. Kaminoans, for years. his own anger, sometimes.

something that gives your muse hope.

Koa and Kad and Scout sitting around the family table solving a problem together, Koa with her aruetii science degree in one hand and a musical instrument in the other, Kad holding baby Etta (Dar’s granddaughter) tightly to his chest with a look of wonder on his face, Etta and Sivvar (Kad’s husband) laughing as they paint a mural on a bare expanse of wall, Etain wrapping a niece or nephew in her cloak as she holds them and smiling quietly back over her shoulder at him, Fi with a baby strapped to his chest, Atin and Laseema curled quietly together in an oversized arm chair, the first time he sees excitement in Niner’s face after the war

how your muse responds to being helped / taken care of.

He’s not used to in originally. With strangers he’s excessively polite, but with someone he actually loves and trusts, he gets incredibly soft- lots of little touches to their hands/arms (or face/neck if romantic or as platonically close as Omega) and his shoulders just kind of unspool tension

how your muse responds to unconditional love.

Similar to the above, but Dar’s loyalty runs deep, and he’s a romantic and a family-oriented person, so it tends to inspire devotion

how your muse responds to danger

To himself, a reasonable amount of stress or anger, but mostly his instincts kick in until later when he potentially has the ability to process how fucked the situation was. he becomes very decisive under pressure but he isn’t taught how to handle it after until he’s been fighting for years.

how your muse responds to stress. // how your muse responds to anger.

He tries to hide a lot of it to avoid being a burden, and it’s way more successful than you’d think. He doesn’t start developing explicit coping skills until after the war and his break down, although he does talk to Omega and Etain about it, alternating between showing them his soul in an expression of trust and hiding things so as not to trouble them.

With anger his protective anger is the easiest to glimpse at first, but eventually it comes out in other situations- normally the thought of being lied to or deceived or used. With all of the above, he gets cold and harsh until it tips too far. Less yelling than quiet anger.

He’s not by nature inherently violent, but between his training and untreated PTSD, there are episodes where he feels as if he loses control of himself entirely and retreats to the violence he was taught would keep him alive. Part of his recovery is learning to stop things before they get there and recognize his own threat response.

With stress, see the above about bad days. also probably some explicitly PTSD related coping strategies but I’ll admit I haven’t researched that

did your muse grow up too fast?

Absolutely. Dar may have been socially naive on his first deployment, but he didn’t have a childhood, he had a product development phase haunted by the threat of Kaminoan culling.

So anyway, The Neon Demon was duuuuuuumb.

(Cut for spoilers, discussions of gore & general badness)

First off, I think Elle Fanning’s character is supposed to be some kind of sweet ingenue, but her acting is too flat/bad and she just comes off as cold. (The director may have insisted, because EVERYONE’s acting is like this).

And then the entire premise/conceit hangs on the main character being the Most Beautiful Model of All but all the models looked the same.

Horror movies don’t need to be two hours long??????? What kind of pretentious bullshit?????? Edgar Allan Poe is rolling over in his grave. (The reason it’s 2 hours long is that the director just....holds every shot.)

At some point the plot collapses and it’s just a bunch of random scenes?????

How the fuck does someone swallow an eyeball whole? And then puke it up just as whole? WTF?

already in love | angeline & clint & jackson

I'm already in love This doesn't happen to me You can't just swagger on up And turn my head, oh so suddenly

“What d’you recommend, darlin’?”

“I might recommend the coffee at this coffee shop,” Angeline says drily. She’s just coming off a seven hour shift, and Michael is an hour from close. He doesn’t let her help with closing lately. It probably has something to do with Tera coming to ‘visit’ last time, the woman in the apartment upstairs screaming suddenly and one of his regulars turning up with a bullet in their skull not even a block away before close. Sales dropped for the day, and Angeline’s hours dropped for the year.

“Then I’ll take some of that ‘coffee’ you speak of,” he says, and okay, Angeline has to see this dork, so she gets the machine started and looks up to take his payment, and – fuck.

Oh no he’s hot.

His eyes are gleaming and he’s clearly amused with himself, pleased with his absolutely ridiculous sense of humour, which is a bright spark in a day of hazey-eyed caffeine addicts like herself. His jaw is sharp enough to cut glass, stubbled, and she kind of wants to run her fingers through his hair. Calm down, she says to herself, trying to think of Tera. Tera is probably the hottest woman she can think of off the top of her head, and Tera is an absolute sociopath. Tera flirts her way into the confidence of dozens of people a year, and then sees them dead for their trouble. Maybe this dude is a dick, behind the terrible humour and killer good looks. “Four dollars,” she says, taking the notes he passes her and shoving them in the till.

“You’re trusting me already, darlin’? And not even on our first date.” He clucks disapprovingly. “You didn’t count the cash.”

She bites her lip, turning her gaze back to the machine. “I figure you’re too busy flirting to rip off my lovely employer,” she says, telling herself she absolutely isn’t flirting back. She focuses on making his coffee the same flawless way she prefers, as black and bitter as she likes to say her soul is.

“Do you charm all your customers, or is this lip reserved for me?”

“No, I can’t say many people challenges me for coffee recommendations.” She watches him lift the takeaway cup to his lips, removing the lid and blowing on it gently. She tells herself she isn’t staring at his lips, and then has to fight not to laugh as he reacts to her preferred coffee. Strong, bitter and hot, the way it’s supposed to be.

“Such a rose as yourself, I didn’t expect you to drink tar,” he explains, peeling off the lid to start adding sugar. “I’d expected something sweet. Maybe a little spicy.”

She feels her face heat up. “It’s not my fault if I didn’t know you have no taste.”

“Please stop flirting and get out, Angeline. Your shift is over,” Michael says, sounding distinctly unimpressed.

Angeline pokes her tongue out at him, because this – this one is normal. She isn’t inclined to flirt with him. She isn’t drawn to Michael, and thus she doesn’t want the ground to swallow her up. She realises as she rounds the counter that the customer didn’t so much as try to pretend he wasn’t flirting. “Um,” she says, awkward, trying to figure out how to say Please don’t tempt me without letting on that she is definitely thinking about what he’d look like if he took off that shirt. That tight black shirt with Travis Masters’ most recent tour in Port Lyndon advertised across it. As in, Travis Masters, her boyfriends’ father.

“Don’t suppose you’d be up for giving me a grand tour of the best coffee in the city?” he says, a guy after her own heart. Angeline winces, still not sure how to address the most pressing issue. She looks up when the bell rings over the door, the sound of rain slipping in for a moment.

“I know this is Port Lyndon, and the rain is a fact of life, but I swear it’s been heavier lately,” says the new arrival, shaking off his coat. He glances up and lights up to see her. “Angeline, you good to –”

“Jackson!” she exclaims, a mess of guilty and relieved as she launches herself past the customer and into his arms. “Fuck, you’re soaked.”

“I just said it’s been raining heavier than usual,” Jackson says, a combination of amused and bemused. “Hey, Angel,” he murmurs, quieter and just for her, leaning down to kiss her.

She feels at ease like this, in his arms. She’s in love with Jackson, she doesn’t have any interest being involved with anyone else right now. It feels like coming home, though the thrill of a rapid-fire heartbeat has eased. Maybe he’s less exciting than this charming nobody, but he’s not no one, and he means the world to her, and she can probably figure out how to avoid serving this uncomfortably flirty customer again in the future. Maybe he’ll get the hint. Maybe she never has to tell him she doesn’t want him flirting with her.

“Jackson, man, hey. This is your Angeline?”

Angeline tenses, and Jackson loosens his hold on her so she has the freedom to turn and stare at the customer, baffled. “You two know each other?”

“Sure,” Jackson agrees, smiling his usual sincere, broad beaming smile that looks completely at home on his face. “Clint and I met ages ago. What was it, like, two, three months?”

“Jack here’s completely charming,” apparently-Clint says, almost as drily as Angeline when she first spoke to him.

They talk around her, catching up or saying their greetings, Angeline isn’t sure. She tunes it out, too busy having a minor crisis.

The Tomb (1986) Review

Reviewer Matthew Fishgold

Though loosely based on the classic 1903 Bram Stoker novel, The Jewel of Seven Stars, The Tomb (1986) is a unique beast that aims to deliver a good time. This isn’t the refined storytelling found in Stoker’s paranormal mystery, The Tomb sets out to be a simple action flick with a creature feature overtone, much like The Mummy (1999). Mostly succeeding, The Tomb does tend to suffer now and then from what seems to be a lack of creative direction. Where the film opens strong and manages to end with a bang, it sandwiches a ton of mostly pointless filler that doesn't maintain the strength of an 80’s action adventure that The Tomb was setup to be.

Bram Stoker’s The Jewel of Seven Stars is a shining example of an age where the art of conversation was prominent in literature. Though extensively flowery in dialogue, the tale is has much to offer for anyone who wants to explore the mythos of the mummy.

Misogyny was common in the time of this literary work, though it was not more than a reflection of society in Stoker’s works and is merely touched upon by the narrative of the main protagonist in a passing manner of nonchalance.

I adore that Stoker depicted such a powerful antagonist as a woman. His mummy, Tera, even surpasses the men within the tale; she’s a dominating woman whose quality, intellect, and willpower stands above mankind itself.

I find this to be a feminist statement from Stoker, unbound by those of his time, he smartly weaves a social commentary into his most brilliant of works.

If you search this book out, be sure NOT to read the revision that occurred in 1912, the ending was altered to basically negate the entirety of the tale.

Once you’ve become accustomed to the novel, you can really see where inspiration was pulled for this movie. It’s a joy to read Stoker’s tale and then watch The Tomb, which is basically the equivalent of taste testing wine at a fancy Gala, and then going to Chuck E Cheese’s to eat pizza in the ball pit. OUR RACE IZ GET’N DUM YO!

Anyway… enough about that badass book, let's discuss this assbad movie.

With a run time of an hour and twenty four minutes, and a rating of NR, The Tomb (1986) was directed by Fred Olen Ray and written by Kenneth J. Hall & T.L. Lankford. It stars Sybil Danning (Jade), Michelle Bauer (Nefratis), John Carradine (Mr. Andoheb), David O’Hara (John Banning), and Cameron Mitchell (Dr. Howard Phillips).

Listed as fantasy/horror on IMDb, The Tomb’s main strength in the horror genre would rely on Elvira doing a riff track. Beyond a small amount of blood and a scene with a scarab burrowing into a man’s flesh, there's just not enough terror to be found in this tomb.

Despite my qualms with this movie, I still thoroughly enjoy it, it's a bad movie for sure, but there's an off-beat style to it with a few unique characters that you don't usually get in other movies.

One of the best characters in the film is a pinball-playing, alcoholic asshole tomb raider that'd make Laura Croft dry up in seconds after meeting him. Played by, David O’Hara, this bastard is so unusual that you have to enjoy how comically shitty of a person he is, and how terribly he dresses.

O’Hara and his tomb raiding sidekick raid a tomb that’s recently been uncovered due to an earthquake, and find themselves awakening a vampiric mummy named Nefratis that drains the life out the sidekick and enslaves O’Hara to do her bidding. Her world domination goal is pretty vague beyond performing a ritual that’ll allow her to extend her life while maintaining her fine body (FYI: no amount of moisturizer can help an ancient undead being), but I’m pretty sure if she wanted to be my overlord, I’d vote for her. Nefratis 2020!

Nefratis is pretty awesome, and not just because of what’s under her wrappings, a vampiric mummy is a pretty sweet amalgamation and it works damn well to fill the void of what to do with a mummy that most stories struggle with. I love the idea of a female mummy whose pursuit is that of personal gain rather than love, and boy oh boy is she one hell of a selfish bitch.

All the doom and none of the gloom. The vampiric side of Nefratis doesn’t follow the depressive nature we see in most blood suckers, instead, The Tomb uses her batty nature simply to make her more feral of a creature.

Many people were excited for a female mummy in 2017, but The Tomb did it better in ‘86.

Special effects in The Tomb are hilariously bad, utilizing your standard after effects lighting to give Nefratis some laser beam powers that still look cool as fuck in 80’s cinema, but ultimately make little sense for the characters using them. PEW PEW!

I happily give The Tomb six out of ten cobwebbed cooters, and suggest you dig this one up when you got some free time to kill.

This movie is proudly part of my Cakewolf’s Collection of Horror VHS tapes.

take the shot

Who: Tera Michiligan What: Take the shot. Triggers: Murder, gunshot, blood, gore

Through the sights, the target is small. They’re wearing all black, she notes absently; a suit, probably, appropriately professional for their line of work. Everything she could find on him calls him a lawyer, convincing and conniving enough to cause problems. A dozen rapists have received less than six months in jail – even no punishment at all, when the judge and jury are suitably persuaded. She has no qualms about killing him.

It would be – ironic, in a way, or maybe satisfying, to seduce him. To get him to lower his guard, get him naked, get him arrogant, and stick a knife between his eyes. But. But.

The idea of his hands on her – it makes her shudder. Even from this distance, something like a kilometre away, far away to be nowhere near close enough to contaminate her. She’s killed murderers before, corrupt politicians and people who piss them off. It’s nothing on hits like this – on people who help people that victimise defenceless nobodies – hits that feel justified, for once. There are no leaps of logic here – she genuinely thinks this asshole defense attorney deserves to die. And she’s happy to do it, even.

Happier still that it’s from a distance. She likes kills like this, the way Giovanni specialises in. When people hire her, it’s often for honeypot betrayals: seduce, destroy, disappear. She doesn’t get to caress a rifle very often, to grasp it between her fingers, to feel smooth aluminium under her fingers. She does this rarely enough that she can pick up a new gun for each job; it is more practical than carting a specially designed weapon between jurisdictions, states, countries and continents, as she suspects Giovanni does.

She exhales slowly, tracking the target with the scope. Tera breathes slowly and evenly, alone before a window frame that holds no glass. There is nothing in her way, and she has been timing the lights. This idiot does not jaywalk; for all he is a terrible person, he does not commit small crimes like that. He will wait for the flickering person to appear and the countdown to start.

His steps shorten as he watches, and she hums softly. She breathes in, finger on the trigger. He’s on the phone; he is either talking to the vapid slut he calls a wife, who she does not expect to mourn extensively, or to a colleague, or to a prospective client. It’s his work phone, case gleaming sapphire blue in the sunlight. She exhales.

He stops moving.

She inhales once more, lines up the shot – allowing for the wind she can monitor from the sock across the road, limply twitching in an inconstant breeze. Her finger pinches as she squeezes the trigger. There is a pop, muffled by the silencing headphones she’s been wearing for the past ten minutes. Her ears will likely still ring after she removes them, and it will be some time before the sensation stops.

Still, she watches through the scope as the bullet hits the target. There is no grace to his death; the woman beside him – and she regrets, for a moment, the way his blood and brain matter spatters the covered stroller the woman pushes – does a double take before she starts screaming, covered in blood herself.

A kilometre away, Tera’s self-satisfied smile lingers even as she packs away her weapon. She will sell it to a pawn shop or a weapons dealer in the city, but only once it has cooled slightly. It will not be traced back to her, and the flight she will take to get away in the coming days.

A clean job. She even feels clean, for once, free of the sour taste that comes with trading her dignity to a stranger whose death is guaranteed.
