shiloh blinked owlishly, clearly surprised by the sudden request. the request was odd, one may even say a bit humiliating. on the other hand, the request came with the promise of two hundred bucks. imagine what he can do with that kind of money. all the groceries he can buy. the subway cards he can get. 

     “     uhhh,  meow  ?     ”

it was weak effort. after all, the other only asked for his best cat impression. it wasn’t like he just goes around the city impersonating a cat. 

His long silhouette shifted against the redbrick wall behind him, illuminated only by the light pouring into the uptown alleyway. Moonlight danced along his fingers as he lifted his bottle to his rose-blush mouth and took a swig. “Tell you what. I’ll give you two hundred bucks if you do your best cat impression. Right now.”

if shiloh was forced to describe the past few weeks in a single word, he’d choose stressful. it was narcissistic of him to feel this way, considering everything that had happened and how little effect it really had on him. but there were people that he would never admit to caring about who had gotten severely injured. and now here he was, speed walking down a pretty barren street after a rough (and stressful) day of classes because it was a shortcut back to his apartment. 

the distinctive sound of a fight cut through his internal monologue on what he had to do when he finally got back. he slowed his walk down as he approached an alleyway. without a second thought, shiloh dropped his backpack to the ground (he’d regret how careless he was with it later when he sees the cracked screen of his laptop). struggling to find a way to hide his identity, he pulled up the hood of his jacket and unfolded the collar of his turtleneck and tugged it over his mouth and nose. it’d have to do. 

he pulled who he assumed was the attacker off of the other. on the wall behind shiloh, a water pipe burst, catching the attacker off guard as the two of them got drenched. shiloh easily took care of the attacker, leaving them leaning against the wall with the pipe. without much thought, shiloh forced the water to flow normally through the pipe as it should. they knew it would break again when he left, but for now it would suffice. 

he grunted in response to the thank you. it was a sentiment he appreciated, but not one that anyone had time for at the moment. he picked up the (now wet) wallet and took a step towards the victim. shiloh squatted next to him in a way that the shadow covered the majority of what parts of his face weren’t covered. “is it okay if i touch you? make sure that there’s nothing broken? i just want to know how injured you are.” he leaned in a little to get a bit of a better look, frowning behind the collar stretched over the lower half of his face. “it’s not pretty. don’t pass out on me, now. c’mon, stay with me. i’m calling an ambulance.” from the depths of his pocket he pulled out his phone. it’s unsurprising that it’s wet, considering the pipe he’d broken. it wasn’t any trouble for him to use his ability to remove the water, and the device is good as new. he paused in the middle of dialing 9-1-1 and glanced over at the other. “you still with me? do you want me to call someone else instead?”

❛❛ 𝑒𝓇𝒾𝒸 & the league––

After having his head rebound from that concrete wall in the side of that alleyway, Eric Kim was rendered almost completely unconscious. The touch of the other caused his vision to grow dark. The fever that spread through his body almost numbed the pain of a couple of punches. What was worse: an incoming DEATH FLASH or the BEATINGof a lifetime? 

 “   YOUR WALLET, TOUGH GUY   “  A fist to to the nose, then another in the stomach, caused him to barrel, over only to be rammed into that alley way by his attacker.  As he fumbled around with his pockets.  Fingertips, in their desperate and frantic attempts, tried to find the right pocket before another punch was relayed on the left cheek of his face. The wallet he’d dropped made a modest snapping sound as it fell splat on the floor and the attacker was pulled off of him. His savior did little work, though completely rendered the mugger as unconscious as he was feeling.  Whimpering before them, his eyesight strained to see anything other than the mask that covered their face.  Even then his vision was still blurry. “   T-thank you so much.   “ His knees finally gave out as he sank to the ground that met that wall.

stupidly, he goes for his pocket though he doesn’t smoke and he certainly doesn’t have a lighter on him.   “   no, sorry.  ”   any source of fire wouldn’t last very long next to him, not with his ability, and definitely not with the fear he’s got regarding fire. 

shiloh nodded towards the car, taking a step forward.  “  i can try to help with that though,  ”   he gestured at the vehicle. “ i’m not totally terrible with fixing things. has this happened before  ?  ”

* BEELZEBVBS ╱ JAI .

             ‘  what do you mean i need to  brush up on my  SUBAWY ETIQUETTE ? ’        he spoke loudly,    so much so that his voice was heard over the rumbling of the train car.     so far,    three people had move away from him.    he was starting to think it was something he said.     maybe he smelt bad.      

              pulling his hand out of his pocket,    jai waved a finger in the strangers face,   ‘ no , no,  no,    let me tell you something … ’    he was beginning to ramble,   one of his  greatest  talents.     ‘ how is it impolite  to make casual conversation to my fellow   HUMAN   as we ride this   mechanical wonder   together? ’     he turned the conversation to the rest of the train,    hoping someone would jump in to explain it to him.   all he felt was the seat next to him empty.    now    another one bites the dust    was stuck in his head.    no wonder he was so biased against non-mutants.      ‘ y’know,    this is one of the many things that’s wrong with this city. ’    feeling a new victim take up a seat next to him,    he smiled,       ‘don’t ya think? ’

between college, a part time job, and hero stuff, shiloh was at his limit. he was certain that if someone even so much as looked at him today, he’d go utterly bonkers. so maybe the subway wasn’t the best choice today, but he sure as hell wasn’t about to walk all the way back to his apartment. as he stepped into the subway car, he purposefully increased the volume of his headphones. 

with a quick scan of the relatively crowded car, he was surprised to find an empty seat. perhaps there was a reason for that, but his feet were tired. without a second thought, he settled in and placed his backpack on his lap, fidgeting with the charms that were attached to it. 

a voice filtered in through his music, and he cursed at the cheap quality of the headphones. if he ignored the other person, they’ll stop talking to him, right? right. shiloh gave him a disinterested look and a roll of the eyes for good measure. better to not engage.

* CHAOTIDE ╱ LUNETTA .

        “   can’t fool me shiloh,   i know you weren’t listening.   “   gave a small,   teasing but direct smile.   and her shoulders rose and fell,   unlocking her phone to give the same air of being   UNFAZED   .   she was used to people not listening to her   !   she didn’t mind,   not really.   well,   maybe a little bit.   “   doesn’t matter though,   you just agreed to come on holiday with me next time.   so like,   i   HOPE   you’re ready for that.   it’ll be really fun though,   PROMISE   !   “   she laughed.

     “     i’m not that easy to read, am i   ?     ”

the corners of their mouth turned down the slightest. he’d been excessively rude, hadn’t he   ?   an apology was appropriate in this situation, he supposed, but anything he said now would probably seem insincere at best. moving past what had happened should be sufficient. 

     “     i just agreed to what  ?   lunetta, i’m a full time college student. i hardly have time for my part-time job.    ”     besides, he wasn’t really fond of leaving the city. but she didn’t need to know that.

cherry ( for lia )

cherry find blood on them.

it wasn’t unusual for shiloh to get injured, not with how reckless he was during missions. they had nothing to lose, nothing to gain. they didn’t notice the cut on their upper arm until the other brings their attention to it.

     “   well shit   ”

they touch the cut, picking up a bit of blood on their finger. “   that sucks, huh. it’s fine.   ”   he shrugs, it doesn’t really hurt. he’s sure it’ll sting like hell when he’s back home and trying to fix it up by himself.

❛❛ Seriously, that was your best idea? ❜❜ 

❛❛ I didn’t know what I was expected. ❜❜

❛❛ As long as you drop everything and focus on me, I should be fine. ❜❜ 

❛❛ I don’t like this, so I’m going to bed. ❜❜

7. how did your mutation manifest?

“   i was fifteen and over at a — uh — at a friend’s house. we were swimming in his pool and both of our mutations manifested at the same time. i’m not exactly sure how it happened but all of a sudden the side he was at was frosting over and i was creating these insane waves. that’s all i really remember. i don’t like thinking about the past that much.   ”

11. have you ever lost a loved one to the fight between syndicate and league?

“   no.   ”   the answer is blunt and his face is closed off, unwelcome to any further questions regarding the topic.

12. which one of the league members is your favorite?

"   don’t have favorites. now get lost. i’m tired.   ”

5. what is the thing you love the most about crystalline?

“   nothing   ?   i have no attachment for crystalline. it’s a city and a live here and that’s it.   ”

26. do you think mutants are superior to humans?

"   absolutely not. that’s stupid. no one is superior than anyone. a mutation doesn’t suddenly make you better than everyone else. i’m sure some humans can easily overpower some mutants.   ”

27. who do you think is the real threat to crystalline?

”   the syndicate. they harm everyone in the city, doves, civilians, the league. even themselves. they’re probably a huge part of the reason people are against mutants in the first place.   ”

28. what do you want for the city’s future?

“   harmony   ?   i dunno, it sounds really stupid but if everyone — mutants and non-mutants alike — could live together peacefully that’d be great. just want some fucking peace and quiet.   ”

3. if there was a cure for mutation, would you take it?

“   no. my mutuation is as much a part of me as everything else. why would i get rid of something i can use to help others.   ”

10. have you ever thought of leaving crystalline?

"   i don’t have anywhere else to go, so no. never. maybe one day but not any time soon.   ”

16. why did you join the league of heroes?

"   i learned quickly that as much as i hate it, teamwork is the way to go. it’s always better to have someone by your side.   ”

22. what kind of qualities do you think the mayor of crystalline should have to keep the city safe?

"   i understand that this is a difficult word for people in politics to understand but the ability to compromise can do a fuck lot in keeping everyone in the city safe. being able to step into others’ shoes is also important. be welcome to different opinions.   ”

25. are you afraid of doves?

"   fuck no. what’re they gonna do, huh   ?   kill me   ?   i sure hope the fuck they do. i have nothing to lose.   ”

33. who knows about your secret identity? 

"   do you know what secret means   ?   no one knows and it’s going to stay like that.   ”

* DONNIESM ╱  DONNIE . 

“Oh, I cut in line?” Donnie looked around, feigning cartoonish innocence. “I’m so sorry. Next time, I’ll take into consideration that your time is more valuable than mine.“ He pointed at his jacket, SECTOR OF HUMANITY symbol prominent, and scoffed. “Because I can assure you, it really isn’t.”

@whirledpool

     “   well, that is what i said isn’t it   ?   ”

the symbol that the other was flaunting didn’t sway him. shiloh gave him the same flat, emotionless stare he has when he’s bored out of his mind in class. like he was scared of a dove. hell, he lived with one. he just wanted to buy the shitty food in his cart and leave. 

easily, he could drop the conversation as it began, but his mind to mouth filter had disintegrated a while ago and he wasn’t too fond of the other guy’s personality.

    “   and i can assure you that you and your friends are doing more harm than good. have you done anything other hurt innocent people   ?   did you save anyone   ?   ”

shiloh doesn’t regret their words. they would have said it any day at any time. just... maybe not to this person. they don’t look away from him as they continue talking.   “   if you insist on killing people and cutting in line, then i plead you to at least continue moving forward as the line progresses.   ”   they gesture to the absurdly long queue that had moved a little.

         “   can i   HELP   you,   darlin’   ?   “   pandora had noticed they had seemed to be lingering for a while.   laptop was   CLOSED   instantly   ;   didn’t want her research falling to the wrong hands,   after all.   if the   MUTANTS   got wind of what she was   SO   CLOSE   to finding out,   she was sure it would somehow,    miraculously,   end up disappearing.   she was    PARANOID   ,   said her therapist,   so maybe she should accept this as nothing.   but shouldn’t   GUT   FEELINGS   be listened to   ?

“   can i buy you a   COFFEE   ,   how much did you read of it   ?   and don’t lie to me,   i want to know what you might think about it.   it’s for school,    OBVIOUSLY   .   biology major,   you see.   “   she only hoped that they hadn’t noticed her lies,   the obvious tells being the   ID   she had from her work laying on the table.   didn’t matter anyway,   who would question a city official like her,  right   ?

     “   who are you calling darlin’   ?   ”

shiloh sipped on the iced peach tea drink that he’d chosen randomly off the menu. it was overly sweet, even for his taste, but it cost five twenty-five, so he wasn’t going to let even a single drop go to waste. he’d be lying if he said he didn’t at least try to read the words on her screen. he shook his head and moved to take the seat across from her.

     “   couldn’t read a thing.  and please refrain from buying me coffee.  you know i hate how it tastes.   ”

he offered her a half lie. a few words had stood out, but nothing that he could make much sense of considering the fact that he’d left his glasses at home.   “   do you need an opinion on it   ?   ”   he overly emphasized the question, as if he didn’t believe her.
