Ok, I decided to write the second chapter of "The Sides We Choose" so here we go.

Enjoy 😉

Virgil looked at the clock for the millionth time, the constant ticking was driving him insane. He's glad that their science teacher Mr. Bart had finally stepped out to copy some tests. Now at least the students could talk freely amongst each other. Not even looking at Logan who was typing away on his computer, Virgil asked, "he's looking at me, isn't he?"

Logan responded with a robotic, "Most likely." With that, he continued with his work. Virgil risking his pride and dignity, glanced at Roman behind them. Thank Tim Burton he didn't see, he doesn't know if he would be able to resist throwing him through a wall if he started talking. He was almost relieved when Mr. Burt came back, until.

"Alright, time for some new seating arrangements find where you'll be sitting for the rest of the school year. And I don't wanna hear any complaints, my word is law." Mr. Burt had this cocky arrogant air to him. As he pulled a diagram up on the projector. And sure enough, there was Roman right next to his name.

There was no doubting the horror-struck look on Virgil's face. Logan gave him a sympathetic glance as he sat next to Valerie. However, Logan also couldn't help but notice how unsurprisingly Roman acted. Like he knew this was going to happen. Virgil looked like he was ready to catch a murder charge, and Logan honestly didn't blame him. After what Virgil had told him about what he had tried to get him to do, while Virgil was still a bit vague, he would definitely keep an eye on Roman. For Virgil's sake at least.

After class, Virgil was absolutely done with Roman and his antics. The entire class was just him glancing at Virgil and shifting in his seat. Roman tried to initiate small talk but one furious look his way and he clamped up and looked away.

Logan then pulled Roman aside after their last class, to talk. "So why didn't you look so surprised when we had a seat change? Did you have anything to do with it?"

With that Roman scoffed, "Like I'd pay someone to sit me next to Virgil. Do you know how crazy you sound?"

Logan didn't falter he had that calculated look, that said 'I know what you're trying to hide' and he continued with. "If you want to hurt Virgil, think again because I won't allow it." Roman tried intersecting but Logan was quicker. "No, I'm not going to let you hurt him, even if my boyfriend is your brother. You want forgiveness then earn it. But not on your terms, on his. If you feel even a modicum of guilt tell him genuinely. Not the insincere dribble that anyone else would say, stop acting, stop reciting, and start speaking." Logan was very close to him now almost challenging. Despite being only six feet compared to Logan who's six foot three, Roman was contemplating summoning a dagger to stab him with. But that would jeopardize everything he's worked for.

"Very well, I just want to mend things right now." With an act that would fool god, Roman was able to get Logan off his back. However, with newfound determination, he went to find Virgil. Not hard he had the same routine, after school, he usually goes to the library to work on homework. Like clockwork, there he was sitting in the corner of the library.

Roman also noted that almost no one in the library save for Mr. Picani the librarian. Perfect, he'll just apologize properly, and take Logan's advice to heart. As he approached Virgil he saw the new hoodie that he had made and he had to say, It wasn't bad. Virgil had always had an affinity for fashion and clothing. After all, he was the artist. But now he could see it close enough to appreciate it, unlike his grey hoodie, this one looked slightly weighted, the dark purple is a nice choice of color he must admit. The embroidery was spectacular, especially the small storm cloud on his chest.

"Earth to Roman," Virgil said as he waved a hand in Roman's face. "Gezz, what is up with you today?" Now was his chance, he just had to apologize what was it Logan said.

"OK, that's it I'm leaving." Virgil already had his stuff packed and was about to get up when. "Wait, please." Roman's voice was on the verge of shouting, he quickly composed himself. Virgil was caught off guard, but decided against the alarm bells ringing in his head, and stayed.

"Ok, well spit it out." Virgil said getting incredibly tense. Roman took this opportunity to collect his thoughts.

"I want to apologize, really I do, I know you don't have to forgive me and I don't expect you to. I at the very least want to bury the hatchet between us, we are gonna be sitting next to each other in Mr. Burt's class we might as well. All I'm asking for is a chance, I'll understand if you think I don't deserve it I mean it's not like we talked this summer, so I don't expect you to believe me. But just let me show you that I have, just one chance, but I'll understand if you don't want to give me one." Roman finished not with his usual bravado when he was acting or wooing someone, he sounded tired and quiet. Roman himself was a bit shocked when he heard himself. However, it might have worked in his favor.

Virgil took a minute to respond, the seconds ticked by on the clock next to them on the wall. Until Virgil looked up at him, looking Roman in the eyes. Roman doesn't know what Virgil was looking for, but after a grueling minute he said, "I'll think about it."

More gargoyle doodles. And some Lexington angst

[zoitza-pizza]

I decided to post some 2 Broke Heroes au.

[zoitza-pizza]

I did something and I don't even know what it is.

Please add context, thanks.

Let the chaos ensue.

[zoitza-pizza]

IM NOT STAYING CALM DENKI DONT TRUST HER!

Sorry, too late.😈

And considering Tokoyami's quirk related to shadows I think it'd make sense if he could at least sense her. Or had a book of spells that could harm her. So he knew about her before the war, almost after they moved into the dorms.

Also, Kaminari lore drop. He was homeless a few years before UA.

[zoitza-pizza]

I love Virgil just saying no, good for him! Polish off that spine of yours!

I thought it would be counterproductive if he just believed him right then and there. And Virgil's whole thing, is not falling for Roman's charm. Besides what's a good story without challenges?

[zoitza-pizza]

I love Virgil's spider plushie, reminds me of one I have :>

Aww, I know so cute. If you're interested please read my first chapter of the fic its on my page.

Ok so enough beating around the bush, time to write the first chapter of "The sides we choose" Please enjoy.

Virgil was rudely awakened by his alarm clock an hour early today, he had to sit through another torture session with Mr. Burt and his monotone voice that just makes him feel like a zombie, and on top of that he bumped into Roman who complained about Virgil ruining his jacket. And now he was in the middle of a bank robbery, wonderful.

Thankfully they weren't as dangerous as the new villains on the block, but at least they didn't carry guns. They had most of the hostages huddled against the wall while the employees were behind the counter. One of the men pointed a gun at a teller demanding cash. Throwing a bag at her yelling at her to fill it. He then turned to a more timid man who oddly enough was one of the robbers. He started whispering harshly, about making sure "they" showed up. Turns out "they" were the heroes. Virgil found that out when the man lifted his gun at Virgil, and Bobcat jumped down from the roof, yelling, he created a force field. As the two men fired, they shouted in surprise as they had their weapons stripped from them by some invisible force. They were thrown to a pillar and tied up by Serpent. The heroes then practically disappeared after the police showed up.

After that, Virgil was practically crushed in a bear hug from his pops Patton. He let his parents fuss over him, until he got home so he could distress and calm his anxieties and panic. Janus was sitting at their dinner table mulling over everything that Thomas had told them about what the robbers had told Detective Remy Nocturne in the interrogation room. About how they were paid by someone who calls himself the king to cause chaos. Regardless of whether his name is a bit cliché he's still a threat.

"You've got that look again" Patton had become Janus's rock and his most trusted ally. Although he has also gotten into the habit of memorizing when he needs a break. Which is never.

"What look?" Janus asked knowing full well what Patton was talking about.

"That look, the look you get when you're about to work yourself to the bone and obsess over a new enemy." Patton looked exhausted, the force field he conjured was pretty big and powerful. Not enough to take a lot out of him.

"Virgil was in danger-"

"And he needs us right now." Patton had his own look on his face, the 'stop being a hypocrite' look. And Janus will have to concede that he's right. Virgil is more important, always was, always is.

"Fine then, any ideas for dinner." Janus then saw the phone screen Patton held up.

"I just ordered pizza, veggie with black olives. Virgil's favorite." Patton couldn't help the sheepish smile on his face. "I just hope he'll eat, even a little bit."

Janus stared down the hall at Virgil's room, he honestly hopes he'll eat as well.

Later that evening the king was in his study reviewing the footage from the bank. Seeing their powers in action was crucial for looking for weaknesses. So far nothing, he decided to review the footage once more before calling it a night. This time from a different angle. In the chaos, the hero Bobcat jumped down while calling a civilian by name. Virgil, he remembers that one of his sons knows someone by that name.

Sending one of the servants to fetch them he waits in his study. When his sons arrive he starts to inform them of his plan.

"This mission is of the utmost importance, I need you both to befriend a civilian whom the heroes know personally. Gain his trust and learn everything you can about their powers and their weaknesses, everything. The civilian is named Virgil Crow, and he attends the same school as you since Remus is affiliated with his friend i want you to take the lead on this. I expect this mission to conclude in six months. Or at the very least by the end of the school year. Is that understood?" The king sneered down at them.

A robotic "Yes, sir." It was heard all around the study. As the brothers exited through the large double doors. Remus had that annoying smirk on his face. He's seen that same smirk in training when he's not taking anything seriously. He wont let him ruin this mission.

"How about I try to mend things with Virgil, we both know I'm the better actor." When they were finally in the seclusion of their bedrooms they started talking.

"I don't know Ro, you were kind of a jerk." Remus's smile disappears and is replaced by a hard look. "You know how Dad gets when we don't follow orders."

"Don't worry if he throws a hissy fit then you and Logan can swoop in like knights in shining armor. And besides, all I really need to do is apologize I mean we've been friends for a while, and I can probably guarantee that I know things about him that even Logan doesn't know. Just let me try, ok." Roman shoot Remus a hopefull look. And in the end Remus chuckled and said.

"Y'know what go for it. I wanna see what happens."

The next morning, Roman walked into school with his usual stride. But with something else, a purpose. That purpose arose when he caught Virgil grabbing books from his locker. He strode over and flashed his usual Prince Charming smile. The one that could charm anyone. Well almost anyone.

"What do you want?" Virgil's flat tone caught Roman off guard ever the actor, shook it off. And regained his composure. "I wanted to apologize for my previous behavior, I really am sorry for how I had treated you. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"

Virgil's nonchalant and flat tone cut through the air, "No."

Ok so that's all for the first chapter, thank you all for reading sorry it was so long. Take care of yourselves. Byeeee ✨️

I'm curious about your Janus design- The place where his scales would be, does he have some kind of scarring, a skin condition, or something else? Whatever the case, really creative!

Ok so Janus was and still is a scientist, and he was actually working with Richard on a project. The project in question was a microchip to study brain waves as a medical instrument to alert the subject and others along with authorities if the subject is about to have some sort of seizure or something worse.

Janus got suspicious of Richard when he started tinkering with the device they had created. Forcing the subject to stand up, sit down, and even tell them all kinds of personal things about themselves for blackmail. He confronted Richard, and that didn't go well. He threw acid on Janus getting half his face, his upper arm and shoulder, and finally his hand.

And I can already hear you asking; Do they know about each other's powers? No they don't. And Janus doesn't have the microchip in him. But that might come up later.

[zoitza-pizza]

Baby Virgil definitely would sneak into Janus's room when he has nightmares

Omg yes and I headcannon that Patton snores.

Ps extra

The next morning

Anywizle, have a nice day.

Ok I gotta share my thoughts here on the amazing 👏 digital 👏 circus episode 6

Spoilers ahead this is mainly going to be a deep dive into Ragatha and Jax. They're my favorites, my favorite characters consist of those I find most intriguing.

Ragatha is a people pleaser, and she bottles up a lot of her emotions and puts others before herself. This is something I relate to she also carries a lot of responsibility on her shoulders by blaming herself for Jax's behavior. She's constantly there for others, and I think I have a theory for why Jax is the way he is. But we'll get to that later, she takes Jax's friendship with Pomni as corrupt maybe because she's seen this happen with Jax. She's constantly belittled and bullied by Jax and in the softball adventure she finally snaps. I personally think it's justified, and I think Jax wanted her to snap back so she won't care about him when he's gone. Regardless I'm glad she's growing a backbone even if it's slowly.

Jax is such an interesting character and I love that. There are layers and layers of insecurity, guilt, and despair. He's genuinely suffering and he doesn't want to be alone in his pain. Again I don't condone his actions just adding this for context. Now my theory is that Jax's friendship with Ribbit was toxic. And what if Jax wasn't the abusive one, what if it was ribbit? Jax had said that when people are going to abstract they get worse. What if the abuse started as small jabs here and there? Then the words got harsher and harsher, until things got violent and they started blaming him for everything. Then they abstract, who's left to blame but himself? So I think Jax is causing all this chaos so people leave him behind so nothing like this happens again. He might be close to abstraction and he might not even know it.

That's it for my rant please tell me your thoughts and let me know what you think. Do you have any theories you wanna share, go ahead.

Imagining Janus with lil baby Virgil, aaaaaa-

Well, wait no longer 🙃
