Aegis 3.0

[Wyosch]

"You mean like me?", Hunter asked, raising an eyebrow at her husband. "If he's half angel, half-demon, shouldn't we ask Jim and Rachel then? Though as a half-angel, half-demon, he would only show some, let me just say 'symptoms' of each species. And who knows, maybe he's more this than that, and shows even other symptoms than we'd think off."

Tyler spat out some water, chuckling.
"Good thing I'm no cat.", he mumbled, running his hand through his wet hair before quickly leaning forwards and kissing Raven again.
Damn. Those sparkling eyes of hers were so beautiful. She was beautiful.
He'd said that too often in his mind already.
"No, we don't.", he replied, smirking softly as he pulled her close and kissed her once again.
He'd had to keep himself in all this time, so now he'd have to take his chances.
He just couldn't get enough of her soft lips...
"I'm really glad you shot me in my leg that day."

"You mean hot.", Jim chuckled, giving Rachel a quick lick on her cheek. "I actually would want you to paint it.", he mumbled, his eyes sparkling softly as he smiled lovingly at her.
"Not only because you're the most artistic of us two, but just... I don't know. I don't let anyone touch my car and trusting you with a job like repainting it, I thought like maybe that'd make you happy and would make you realize that I was honest when I said trust you with anything and everything."

Mike smiled happily, nodding at what she told him.
"Else I'll have to call my brother to turn your hand into wood.", he joked, winking, gently running his fingers over her back again.
"Trust me when I say you won't be alone no more."

"I mean like the typical demon", Macon pointed out, acting as if he was getting ready to hide from Hunter under the table, until he winked at her and chuckled silently.
"Honey, don't start overthinking now", he mumbled softly. "I'll ask Jim tomorrow if he had ever heard of something like that, and then we'll just keep an eye on Noah and only worry when there is something to worry about."

"I'm really glad you tried to kill me and the boss that day", Raven laughed softly, winking at Tyler.
"What about I quickly teleport us somewhere warm? The water is cold as hell..!"
Raven quickly teleported into her living room, grabbed the cello that was leaning on the couch and just leaned it against the next wall, an electric and acoustic guitar following.
"Heh, sorry. I spend a lot of time with my instruments", she chuckled awkwardly, gently wrapped her arms around Tyler and kissed him once more.
"Let's just quickly change", she whispered to his ear. "Don't wanna soak my couch."
After covering herself in shadows for a moment, she stood there in a long, black satin negligee, stretching her arms for a moment before she smiled up at Tyler.
"You look really cute with wet hair", she chuckled softly, putting her own wet hair over her left shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck, looking up into his eyes. "Damn I love you!", She whispered, more or less to herself, and just kissed him deeply, cuddling against him at the same time.

Rachel smiled softly as she pushed her face against Jim's shoulder, smiling softly as she looked up at him with big puppy eyes.
"Honey you already showed me that by saying 'i love you', four years ago", she whispered softly. "You trusted me with your heart that day. And there are no words to tell you how much that means to me. But- I will gladly give your baby that new paint job. And I'll do my very best."

"Will you stop holding that against me!", Ava laughed, pushing Mike over so she was half laying on him, smiling down at him.
"I trust you, Mike. I know you won't leave me all alone."

 

[Wyosch]

"I'm not overthinking - was I?", Hunter mumbled to herself, sighing. "I was."
She smiled softly at what Macon said, agreeing with a nod.
"You're right.", she replied, cuddling her head against Macon's shoulder and just watching their kids.
"They're all so perfect."

Tyler was still in awe over how hot Raven looked in that negligee, quickly covered himself in something that looked like grey sand, and just stood there in a fresh pair of jeans and a shirt, smirking.
"I don't have any sexy negligees to wear.", he mumbled, winking, blushing as Raven said that she loved him.
"I love you too.", he whispered, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer.
"Wait a second. Did you read my thoughts?", he asked after a while, raising an eyebrow at her. "That'd explain the 'bananaaa' - wouldn't it?"
He shook his head, chuckling, before he kissed Raven deeply again.
"I knew it."

Jim happily wagged his tail, looking like a happy puppy, and cuddled his head into Rachel's fur.
"I love you.", he whispered, until his eyes suddenly widened and he shifted back into his human form.
"Shit, I forgot the pizzas! Be right back."
He teleported away, and only after a few seconds he stood next to the couch again.
"Got 'em. Heh."

Mike smiled softly at Ava, placing his hands on her lower back and pushing her down so he could kiss her again.
"I promise.", he mumbled, winking, running his fingers through her blonde hair.
"What would happen if AF would ever find out?"

 

[Scripted Away]

Mac smiled softly, watching their kids for a while before gently stroked some hair behind Hunter's ear and looked at her with sparkling eyes.
"Just like their mom", he whispered happily, taking her hand with a happy smile.

"It's just the most comfortable thing I have", Raven tried to defend herself as Tyler called her sexy, blushing slightly, but then sighed happily as he pulled her closer and said that he loved her.
Her eyes however widened when he asked if she had read his thoughts.
"Please don't be mad at me", she sighed softly. "It was just... I've had feelings for you for quite a while now, and it just got harder and harder and to hide them. But I was scared to lose you if your wouldn't feel the same, so I only read your conscious thoughts regarding me and this evening", she explained with the same puppy eyes her dad always made. "I blocked everything else out, I promise. It wasn't easy, but hey, fighting my demon to let me pass on my timeplaying-curse... That was harder." She grimaced for a moment, smirking again. "Hell that was hard-! Just- don't be mad at me...I won't do it again, I promise.."

Rachel grinned happily at the scent of the pizzas, immediately calling "Jack, Rose, angel, Kai- pizza is here!"
And instantly, a tiny grey wolf came running again.
"I suppose he enjoys being able to run in this form", Rachel laughed as she shifted back and quickly picked William up, who just kept running, even though he was laying on his back, in Rey's arms.

Ava's pupils immediately narrowed at Mike's question.
She quickly sat up, more or less hugging herself, and lastly just shifted into a beautiful greater sooty owl, cuddling against mike.
"It would mean that they found out that we broke the one most important rule. It was no problem between Jetstream and Fox, because they both were Grade 4, you know, leaders of a section. Jet was leading 1, fox was leading 3. That's no problem because none of them means a security lack.
But in our case-"
She shook her head, ruffling her feathers.
"I would be fired instantly, and both of us would be brainwashed. We wouldn't remember eachother, nor that we ever even met. I would also be brainwashed to forget every little detail about AF, and would be brought to a hospital with the diagnose 'amnesia'. I Then I'd have to somehow build up my life again, and come clear with the fact that I'm missing 2 years of memories of my life. and you would forget everything a recruit isn't supposed to know about the company. You would be watched 24-7, and they would make sure we would never meet again... The rules are eh... Very strict..."

Lola woke up with a yawn, blinking a couple of times.
After she had finally managed to teleport home, she had taken a little nap, to be fresh and fit for later, when-
How late was it even?
She had a quick look at her phone and instantly jumped up.
8 p.m.! Missed the alarm! Where was Dylan?
>>Get dressed!<<
As quickly as she could, she threw her comfy clothes on the bed and slipped into a backless, quite traditional looking dress, threw her favorite coat over and quickly packed, her suitcase and bag, looking around to see if Dylan had packed his for their visit in Sweden already.
>>Oh God I hope so..!<<
She jumped, startled once more, by the ringing of the doorbell.
"Coming!", She called, hating to the door to open it for a man, probably in his early 50s.
"Daddy!", She gasped happily, jumping into the arms of the man with a wide grin.
"Ahhhh baby girl, I missed you so much", he sighed happily, hugging his daughter, who was only about an inch smaller than him, with a happy grin on his face. "Everything ready?"
"Yup! Just gotta find Dylan. He doesn't know about our little detour. Thought it would be fun to surprise him."
"That's my girl. So, where is he?"
Lola lifted her shoulders. "Gonna try and find him."
She went to the stairs, looking up to see if he was somewhere upstairs. "Dylan? Got a spare minute? Dad is here to pick us up for a little detour before we fly to Sweden!"

 

[Wyosch]

"Charmer.", Hunter replied, gently giving Macon's hand a soft squeeze before she got up on her tiptoes to kiss his forehead. She loved giving forhead kisses to him.
"You know what?", she whispered, playing around with his hair while cuddled against him.
"I have a surprise for you."

Tyler shook his head, a soft smirk on his face as he squeezed her in a soft hug.
"I'm not mad. Hell, when have I ever been mad at you? I wasn't even angry when you spilled hot coffee all over me.", he chuckled , winking. "Just... promise me you won't do it again. Not that I have anything to hide from you- does that mean you also heard me trying to scream in thoughts?", he asked, akwardly raising an eyebrow at her.
"Not embarrassing at all, hehe."

Jim chuckled at the sight of William who kept on running, and just gently stroke over his belly before he walked up to their dining table and put the pizzas down.
"I am so hungry!", Jack called as he came running downstairs, followed by a small desert fox who kept falling down.
"I don't know how to walk stairs.", Angel whined, Jim picking her up and putting her down on her chair. Jack had one similar to that, but without the wooden board to play a tray, just a higher chair - with a buckle so he wouldn't fall off.
Kai walked downstairs too, a slight frown on his face.
"You ok, kiddo?"
"I hate maths."
"Your mom or I can help you with your homwork after dinner, okay?"
"Alright. Now, I'm starving."

"We won't let that happen.", Mike mumbled, shaking his head. "Quite exaggerating to do something like that, honestly. If we both work there, and we know the risks and stuff, why would they have to brainwash us? Psychopaths.", he shook his head once more, clearly not agreeing with AF's rules.
"Whatever. Let's change topics to something nice, okay?"

Dylan put his head out of the bathroom, leaving the door open with his elbow - his face full with shaving cream and a tootbrush in his mouth.
"Ehhh- let me quickly finish here!", he called, immediately going back inside and quickly finished everything that had to be done to look good, and came downstairs after a couple of minutes, wearing a checkered shirt, some dark jeans and a jeans shirt over it, playing around with his glasses.
As he saw another man standing next to Lola, he smiled akwardly, running his hand through his freshly washed hair.
"You must be Lola's father? Nice to meet you, I'm Dylan Anderson.", he introduced himself, stretching out his hand to him.

 

[Scripted Away]

Mac raised one eyebrow at Hunter in surprise, running his hand through his hair once before he pushed his glasses back up and tilted his head to the side.
"What surprise?", He asked curiously, wondering what Hunter could have come up with again.

Raven chuckled softly, playing around with the fabric of Tyler's shirt for a moment.
"I promise. And yeah. Actually was quite cute."
She winked at him, smiling happily and just cuddled against his chest with a peaceful sigh.
"It's been so long since I felt like I could just let my guard down. I've always been on alert, always ready to defend my siblings or myself..."
Looking up at Tyler with sparkling eyes, her eyes sparkling, she sighed softly. "But right now I feel like I don't have to give a fuck about a single thing in the world. So calm..."

While Rachel already cut the pizza for everyone, Rose put her books away and looked at Kai with one raised eyebrow. "Is Mr.Marx so weird in your class, too? Like- he just can't explain a thing! I have a feeling that man doesn't understand his own homeworks. I mean, he already let's us divide! That's second grade shit."
Pursing her lips, she smiled apologetically at her mom, who gave her a sharp gaze.
"Sorry Mom! I meant... Second grade...stuff."
"You sure did, young lady."

"I've been the one to work that rule out with the other leaders", Ava explained silently. "It's because of an incident we had about a year ago. A leader and a recruit fell in love... And the recruit was a double agent from hack that we didn't know about. The leader shared all the secrets with her, because he was in love, he thought he could trust her. We lost hundreds of innocent lives that day..."
Smiling sadly at Mike, she softly stroked through his hair. ",It's not to keep us safe. It's to keep everyone else safe."

Lola smiled proudly as her father shook her boyfriend's hand with a wide smile on his face.
"So great to finally meet you, Dylan. We've talked on the phone once. I'm Soren Hudson."
"Can we go?"
"Yup!"
Turning to Dylan, Lola smiled softly. "Well make a little detour. Dad will teleport our stuff to Sweden already. Dad?"
"All there."
"Thanks. Now, let's go!"
She grabbed Dylan's and Soren's hands, and her father immediately teleported them...
To a beach?
Torches lit up the entire place, and Lola immediately dropped her coat to the ground. She fitted into the scenery like a cap on a bottle.
"This is where I come from", she explained with a soft smile to Dylan. "O'ahu."
Looking at her father with sparkling eyes, as something bright and shining appeared in the water for a moment, she let out a soft sigh as she saw a tear running down her dad's cheek. "Daddy..."
"It's okay, go to her."
"Mom!!", Lola shouted, tears by now filling her eyes as well as she ran into the ocean, jumped up, and transformed into a beautiful manta Ray.
Soren just watched with a half happy, half sad smile.
"This isn't only where she comes from", he explained, while he watched the ray disappearing into the depths of the ocean. "This is where her mother died... And where her spirit still lingers."

 

[Wyosch]

Hunter giggled evily, standing up on her tiptoes again so she could whisper into his ear.
"You'll see.", with a wink she kissed his cheek again and let out another giggle, before she turned to the kids.
"Ready for the pet store?"

"I'm not cute.", Tyler protested, pursing his lips for a moment before his soft smile appeared again.
"Hey, you know you can just let your guard down around me. There's nobody who'll hurt you, nor would I judge you. Hell, who'd I be to judge?", he asked, winking, turning around to look at her interior for a moment.
"You have a really great taste. Damn, if you'd see my place...", he chuckled akwardly, shaking his head.
"Nah-ah."
Running his fingers through Raven's wet hair, making sure he wouldn't accidentally rip some out, he leaned against her head, sighing softly.
"You have no idea how long I've already wanted to cuddle with you. Geez that was cheesy."

"It's not only that he can't explain, he doesn't seem to like me and thus is extra hard on me.", Kai mumbled, playing around with his fork before a hand on his shoulder scared him.
"Why's he hard on you?", Jim asked, raising an eyebrow at his son with a frown.
"He doesn't like... stupid kids, and I just don't really understand what's the purpose of that stupid 'x' and what I'm supposed to do with it... and any time I have to go to the black board he makes fun of me to the point that I panic and can't do a thing.", Kai explained, embarrassingly looking down to the floor.
"You do know that's a teacher discriminating one of his studens, right?"
"So?"
"It's illegal. Do you have your class teacher's number?"
"No, dad - I don't want you to threaten anybody."
Jim frowned for a moment, shaking his head.
"Why does everybody keep thinking that's the only thing I can do? Listen Kai, I want you to do your best and learn as good as you can. I can help you with your problems in maths, but something has to be done about that teacher."
"...So what do you wanna do?"
"Ask your class teacher if he or she could point out the consequences of discriminating a pupil to your maths teacher, and if he continues to do so ask for an appointment so I can have a word with him myself and explain the further consequences of having been warned and continuing. I know my laws, and I doubt your teacher knows what'll come to him if he does that once again."
Kai looked at his father with big eyes before he nodded slowly and got up from his chair, quickly running up to his room and returning with his task heft, where he'd written down e-mail addresses and phone numbers of his teachers.
"That's my class teacher's number. She's very nice... and keeps talking about how amazing her husband's car is. Guess where he tuned it. Your garage."
Jim chuckled, quickly memorising the number and ruffling Kai's hair.
"I'll call her after dinner and then we have a look at your homework, 'kay?"
"Thanks dad."
"No problemo."

Mike stared at Ava with big eyes, shaking his head.
"That rule is so fucking unnecessary.", he mumbled. "Honestly, it wasn't the 'recruit's fault that all those innocent lives were lost, but the ones of that leader. Sure, you don't have any secrets for your partner - except if it's about work like that. That's like being a psychologist who is prohibited of telling anything his patients say, that's like the shrink telling his or her partner who's a cop that one patient killed someone. Get what I mean?"

"I- I'm confused.", Dylan mumbled after having watched the scenery for a moment, which was honestly really breathtaking.
"Don't people turn into ghosts as they die?", he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Shouldn't her mother be a ghost then, and not ... water?"

 

[Scripted Away]

"let me just get Boo; he wanted to come with us!", Noah called excitedly, before he ran upstairs and soon came back with his parrot on his shoulder.
Brofisting with Boo for a moment with a happy grin, he turned to his parents and siblings again.
"Ready for the pet shop!"
"Gonna get some - get some- gonna get some neeew friends!", the parrot almost rapped, even with fitting movements of his head and wings.
Noah raised one eyebrow at Boo, before he looked at his 0arents and grinned awkwardly. "My parrot is cooler than me..."

"No, it was very sweet", Raven whispered with a soft smile, sitting down on the closed cover of her shining black grand piano, the slit in her negligee just revealing enough leg to be sexy but not inappropriate.
"And hey, who cares how your place looks? If it's like you- perfectly imperfect- I just gotta love it."
Hopping off the piano and returning to Tyler in lightning speed, Raven grinned softly, pulling him a bit closer with the same speed.
"There's something I haven't told you about myself yet...something fairly big...", She mumbled, and closed eyes for a moment... revealing demonic, deep black eyes when she opened them again, that however changed to an entirely hellish orange while she slowly changed her appearance.
"I'm the devil's daughter."

Rachel leaned closer to him with a soft smile, her eyes sparkling gently.
"Well done", she mumbled proudly to his ear, gently squeezing his hand for a moment.
"I'm proud of you."
Stroking over his back for a moment, she leaned another big closer.
"Hey, Jim, I just had an idea- in case you will have to talk to that man- why don't you ask Raven and Tyler to come with you? Seeing two cops in uniform could maybe underline your statement- and you could check out Tyler at the same time. Just an idea."

"Nobody said it was alone the recruit's fault", Ava pointed out with a silent sigh, avoiding to look at Mike while she ran her finger over the back of the couch.
"We've had the law of secrecy before, but apparently it wasn't enough, so we had to eliminate any chances of anyone being succumbed into spilling our secrets", she mumbled sadly. "Look, we haven't set that law up mindlessly. we've made our experiences, and innocent people had to bear the consequences. No matter how exaggerated that law might seem to you- we have discussed and thought about it for months on end."
Looking up into Mike's eyes, her feelings clearly hurt, she sighed silently. "We left a loophole though. Eclipse. The big boss. She can make exceptions of our rules. Maybe we should talk to her. You know, the be on the safe side..."

"She's in the water", Soren explained silently, pointing at the shore as Lola stepped out of the water again, her black hair shining from the water that was soaking it, reflecting the light of the moon and the torches. She was holding hands with a beautiful woman, in traditional Polynesian clothing, shining as if she was a second moon.
"Taha...", Soren sighed silently, smiling sadly as the ghost softly stroked over his cheek, before she turned to Dylan, her deep brown eyes, an exact copy of Lola's, starting to sparkle softly as Lola took his hand with a soft smile.
"Dylan", the ghost said, sounding as if she had known him ever since, her voice seeing to come from everywhere, full of peace and love.
Looking at Lola for a moment, then back at Dylan, she smiled gently as she hugged her daughter.
"He naʻau maikaʻi kona. Heʻuhane hauʻoli."
Lola smiled proudly, taking Dylan's hand.
"She likes you", Lola whispered with a soft smile, gently cuddling against Dylan with sparkling eyes, happy tears gathering in them as her mother softly stroked through her hair, before she slowly went back to Soren and took his hand.
While her father and her mother's ghost walked off together, Lola buried her face at Dylan's chest, happy and sad tears running down her heels equally.
"I...I just wanted... Her approve just means a lot to me...", She whispered softly, trying to explain this situation that was probably totally overwhelming for Dylan.

 

[Wyosch]

"Nobody is cooler than my son.", Hunter replied, winking at him, while she quickly wiped off Misha's face.
That kid really couldn't eat without dropping food to the floor or painting his face.
"I can't wait for the fish!", Heather called, giggling excitedly while she grabbed her father's hand and gently squeezed it.
"Thanks again."

Tyler blinked a couple of times while he stared at Raven with big eyes, totally baffled.
"Damn...", he mumbled after a while of silence. "That's so hot."
He let out an akward chuckle and cleared his throat, running his hand through his still wet hair.
"Did you just say the devil's daughter? That exists?!"

Jim smiled happily at Rachel as she told him she was proud of what he had just done, tilting his head at her idea.
"Mhm... that's actually not a bad idea... but didn't you invite that guy together with Raven over so we could meet him?", he asked, in a slightly annoyed tone, but smiled again afterwards.
"Maybe he's nice after all... I mean, if Raven's like me she won't trust easily."

"Hey, I didn't mean to hurt you, okay?", Mike mumbled, sighing silently as he pulled Ava into a deep hug.
"I'll let you decide. If you want to keep it a secret to make sure you can really trust it, then do so, or if you want to talk to... Eclipse? Then do that too. It's your decision."

Not only was Dylan confused and overwhelmed as hell - he was also hot as hell. Damn, how warm was it here?!
"I-", he mumbled, still frowning confused. He really had no idea what was going on. Mother in water? Weird language? Approval?
"I'm just really confused buuuuut your mom seems to like me?"

 

[Scripted Away]

Smiling softly, Macon got up and picked up Heather, winking at her.
"No problem, princess", he said smiling, before he turned to Noah.
"Your mom is right. You'll always be my cool, big boy."
Noah looked up at both his parents with a happy grin, taking their hands. "I'm curious what fish you will pick", he said smirking as he looked up at Heather on his dad's arm.

Hadn't Raven been entirely red already, she would have blushed deeply, but this way it was basically invisible.
Slowly wrapping her wings around Tyler, she wiggled her eyebrows, before she giggled softly and poked his chest with her devil tail, all the time making sure that her black negligee wouldn't slip and reveal too much.
"Of course it exists", she said, sounding kind of surprised that Tyler didn't know that.
"My father is the devil, my mother is god."

Rachel nodded, lifting her shoulders.
"Yeah...right...", She said slowly, her voice kind of hesitant.
"It's just...well, I doubt Raven would come. She still doesn't seem to be on eh...the best terms with you, and we all know how you usually behave when men are around who you don't know nor trust..."
She gently put her hand on his shoulder, smiling apologetically.
"Look I don't mean to argue with you or complain or anything. Just trying to explain."

"It might sound weird but for some reason I would trust you blindly", Ava mumbled with a slight blush on her face. "I can't even explain it; I feel like I could jump off a cliff and you would be down there to catch me if you said it. Sounds weird, hm?"
She gently squeezed his hand, looking up into his eyes while the purple of hers seemed to light up once more.
"I just...I don't want to risk losing you, nor my job. I think it would the be smartest idea to consult Eclipse, but only if you want that too."

"She said you have a good heart", Lola said nodding, a soft smile on her face as she intertwined her fingers with Dylan's.
Looking at the ocean with a sad smile, she sighed silently.
"I barely talk about my mom because I miss her like hell... She died when giving birth to my little brother. He was stillborn. Another thing I didn't tell you is...that I lived here until I met you. It was supposed to be only a travel for a photo shoot...but I knew I would never be happy again if I went back here and would never see you again."
Smiling softly, she looked back at Dylan, her deep brown eyes sparkling softly. "My mom has always been my big hero. She was brave, beautiful, smart...dad always says she was as beautiful as the sunset, and as graceful and strong as the waves. I just wanted her to know that I found someone who means so much to me. And that I'm happy."
All of a sudden, Lola laughed silently, shaking her head.
"You should heard my friend Jensen when he got that you're 2 years younger than me. He was like 'well the average life span of men is 2 years less than of women, so, good choice!' and I just- that freak!", She laughed softly.

 

[Wyosch]

"A cute fish! Who's badass and nice!", Heather replied, grinning widely at Noah, while her mother chuckled softly and picked up Misha.
"Everyone ready to go?", she asked, before teleporting them all to the pet store - where Heather immediately jumped out of her father's arms and made her way to the fish.
"Look how awesome!", she called, giggling happily while she stared at every fish in every single aquarium, Misha following her every step.

"Wow.", Tyler mumbled, chuckling akwardly afterwards. "I'll have to be on good terms with them then so I'll get a great spot once in heaven or hell.", he explained, winking, while he gently ran his fingers over Raven's tail.
"No matter how hot you are in this form, I prefer black-haired and blue-eyed Raven. Can you shift back so I can stare into your deep sea-blue eyes again, and get lost inside of their sparkling?"

Jim hurtfully looked away from Rachel, lifting his shoulders.
"I'll just go for a run or visit the gym then...", he mumbled, slapping a smile into his face as he looked back at his children.
"Alrighty, who wanted a piece of my pizza?", he asked, Jack immediately lifting both of his hand in the air, grinning.
"Me! Me!"
Jim picked up a piece and handed it over to his son, putting it down on his plate.
"Can I try one too?", Kai asked, Jim immediately giving him a piece too. Kai wanted to give one to his dad in return, but he just shook his head.
"Y'all eat, no need to give me one in return. You still need to grow tall and strong.", he replied, winking, Kai nodding with a chuckle.
Jim held out a piece for Rose as well, smiling sincerely.
"You wanted to try too, right?"

Mike's eyes slightly widened at what Ava told him, smiling happily.
"You'd really trust me blindly?", he asked, his eyes sparkling happily as he kissed Ava's forehead.
"Thank you.", he mumbled, nodding as she said she should consult Eclipse.
"Alright. We could do that."

Dylan frowned sadly at Lola, sinking his gaze to the floor for a second.
"Why didn't you tell me all that?", he asked, a sad expression on his face. He'd told her everything, even all the smallest details of the painful moments in his life... and she didn't even tell him that she originally came from O'ahu. What if she was hiding more?
No, no, he shouldn't start thinking like that again. Lola wouldn't do something like that.
"Don't you trust me enough to tell me... the important stuff of your life?", he asked, looking at her with big, sad eyes.
"But eh... nice to know your mom thinks I'm okay."

 

[Scripted Away]

Mac was grinning softly while he watched his kids, until he left to talk to the owner of the pet shop.
When he came back, he was smirking mischievously, as suddenly, the water and fishes for every single aquarium floated out of them and formed a dome around him, Hunter and their kids.
Noah was staring around with big eyes, running his fingers through the water walls to stroke the fishes.
His eyes sparkling in amusement, he winked at hunter while he gently wrapped his arms around her to behind.
"I've never loved my ability more than right now", he mumbled grinning.

Shifting back instantly, Raven tilted her head to the side, looking up at Tyler with sparkling eyes.
"Tyler Harris, you damn Romeo", she chuckled softly, cuddling against him tightly with a happy sigh.
For the first time in months, she felt calm, and at peace. All thanks to the man she had hated at first.
Or, well, for the first five minutes.
"You know...I might have stopped you from stealing the money from the jeweller... But I had no chance when you stole my heart", she whispered softly.
"It's still so hard to believe I can finally tell you all this, and be with you like this. I just really hope it won't ever end."
As excitement missed into her gaze, she grabbed his hands and grinned widely. "Shouldn't we call the Millers and tell Billie the great news? That he can finally live with you?"

Rose smiled happily at her dad as she took the piece from him, and put a piece of her pizza Hawaii on his plate.
''you said you wanted to try pizza Hawaii, remember?"
She was just planting a small kiss on his cheek, when suddenly, Rachel's phone started to ring from receiving a message.
She stared at the number for a moment, before she groaned annoyedly, got up and rolled her eyes.
"Excuse me for a moment", she sighed. "Work. I hope they have a good reason to disturb me at a time like this."

Ava smiled softly as she stroked over Mike's cheek for a moment and nodded.
"I can't even explain it. Actually don't understand it myself, but that's how it is."
She quickly wrote a message to her boss, before she put her phone away again and jumped, startled by the bright flash of fire in which Rachel 'Eclipse' appeared.
She immediately raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Michael."
"You know eachother?"
Resting her hands on her hips, a frown on her face, Rachel looked at Mike with gleaming eyes. "In one way or another", she said sharply. Sharp enough to cut diamond.
"o...kay...this looks like you aren't really on good terms-"
"What can I say, my brother is his stepfather and from what he has told me about that young man, he's everything but a good guy."
"Eh-"
"Did he screw up?"
"Heh, eh-"
"Mysteria, I was just having dinner with my family. If we could speed this up a bit I'd be really happy." She didn't sound happy at all though.
"It's just-"
"You have kissed and cuddled and are in love."
"What the f-"
"I smell it. Your scents are mixing."
"A- o- so eh-"
"No."
"What?"
Rachel's gaze gaining even more fury, she stared the smaller girl down like a predator. "I said no."
But Ava stepped in front of Michael with a deep frown on her face.
"Our always say private things and work shouldn't mix!"
"And what are you doing here, Miss Romanov?!"
"Just the same as you! There have been exceptions from that rule, but you are letting your brother's relationship to Michael affect your decision!"
"I'm not-"
"What did you teach me, Eclipse? What did you tell me when I asked you why you were giving me that chance to make it right?"
Rachel sighed silently. "We should give second chances. One day we might be the ones who need one."
"Exactly! So?"
Sighing once more, Rachel's gaze softened, and she looked at Mike, her eyes seeking as if she was staring right into him.
"Michael. Maybe should have a talk... Avania?"
Smiling softly, Ava gave Mike's hand a gentle squeeze, before she went to the entrance door. "I'll let you two talk in private. Tell me when you got it all cleared."
As Ava was gone, Rachel looked at Mike once more. "You might understand how hard it is for me to believe that something changed since this morning."

Lola looked at Dylan with big, sad eyes, sighing silently as she gently took his hands.
"Don't you think something like that, Dylan! You and my dad are the person's I trust the most. I just-"
She looked the the floor, painfully closing her eyes.
"I've tried, believe me... But whenever I wanted to tell you what happened to mom, I... I couldn't. I've never talked to anyone about it. It's as if... If I tell anyone, if I admit that she's dead, that she died so many years ago... The truth comes crashing down on me like an avalanche, that I've never had the chance to say goodbye, that I've never had the chance to teach my little brother dancing, that he will never get his first tattoo, that he's never going to live...that even his spirit is gone, as if he had never existed..."
Looking up at Mike with tears in her eyes, she bit her lip, and lastly just pushed her face into his chest.
"And that it was my fault... I was going for a walk on the beach with mom, when suddenly her water broke. But there was so a much blood-... She told me to run and get someone to help, but I was frozen in fear. I couldn't move, I couldn't scream...then I blacked out. When I woke up again... Dad carried me home. He was crying, told me that mom and Tom hadn't made it..."
She shook her head, her eyes pressed shut tightly. "And I didn't tell you about O'ahu because I didn't want you to think that you were in my way or so. You aren't. You were already so worried that you would get in the way of my career, and I just- ...I'm sorry..."

 

[Wyosch]

Hunter smiled happily when Macon wrapped his arms around her from behind, while she was staring at the fish with huge eyes.
"I wish I'd be able to do something like that.", she mumbled, frowning as she noticed that only two of their children were in the dome.
"Where's Heather?"
The little girl had sneaked out of the dome to make her way to the dogs' section, where she had just heard the most adorable bark ever.
"Where did that come from?", she mumbled to herself, smiling softly as she passed all the dogs. Most were puppies.
Another bark. Or something that was supposed to be one.
Heather turned around to a small cage, with an even tinier ball of fluff inside.
"Awwwwwwwwwww!", Heather squeeled, placing both of her hands against the glass and staring at the puppy with big eyes.
"You're so fluffy!"
I'm not!
Heather giggled, nodding.
"Okay, then you're not fluffy! But you're so cute!"
What kind of dog are you?
"I'm a human."
But you're so small!
"I'm a child, a baby human."
So we're both puppies?
Heather giggled again, nodding.
"I guess so."
Will you take me home?
Heather frowned for a moment, thinking, before she grinned widely and nodded.
"Wait!"
Running back to the fish, she made her way into the dome again and smiled widely.
"I found Fish!"

Tyler's eyes widened excitedly, shaking his head.
"Wouldn't it be much more of a surprise if his favorite bunny would tell him the great news?", he suggested, winking, hardly able to get his huge grin off his face.
"I still can't believe you did that all for me! It's- I love you.", he mumbled, pulling Raven into a deep kiss before he chuckled nervously.
"You think Billie will he happy?"

Jim worriedly stared at Rachel's empty seat, wishing he could just follow her to make sure everything was alright... but the kids.
"Thank you, honey.", Jim replied to Rose, gently kissing her forehead.
"So is there still that Sports teacher called Mr. Grand?"
"Yeah...", Kai mumbled, shaking his head. "I don't know what you did there while you were there at school, but that guy thinks I'm some sort of super athlete because of you!"
Jim chuckled akwardly, thinking back of that one year that he went to school here in Montana.
"Yeah, I'd made the national football team, and baseball team... and basketball... aaaand soccer. Anything more? Oh yeah, cross country. Y'know, parcours-like running and jumping over natural obstacles. Didn't make boxing because my hits were too hard and I had accidentally roundhouse-kicked someone in their face. Whooopsie."
"Thanks, dad! Mr. Grand thinks I'm a sportsmachine like you too!"
Jim ruffled Kai's hair, winking.
"Sports ain't that bad. Once you're a freshman or sophomore you'll very probably try out for one of the sports national teams too."
"Why?"
"Because he'll force you.", Jim replied, taking a bite of the Hawaiian slice of pizza that Rose had given him.
"People keep saying one doesn't put pineapple on a pizza, but damn this is good."

Mike let out a sigh as Rachel talked to him, nodding.
"I understand. I really do.", he mumbled, akwardly running his hand through his hair.
"And from how I imagine, Davis will have tried to not make me work for AF, he'll probably has told you even more stories of me than you already knew.", he shook his head, looking to the floor for a moment before he looked back up at the big boss. Who was his stepfather's sister. Great.
"Listen, I know you don't trust me, and you don't need to, but Ava trusts me. And I know how strange it sounds that we've literally only known each other for a day and have already fallen in love, and I don't even get it myself, but I really feel as if I've known her for years and I'd trust her with my life. I just- I don't want to lose her, neither my job. I want to work, I want to make my family proud, and I want to stay with Ava."
Mike yawned tiredly, not having adjusted to the time difference between the US and Europe yet, and nervously hugged himself.
"I just hope you'd be willing to give someone like me a second chance too..."

Dylan sighed silently, wrapping his arms around Lola to comfort her. Sure, he was hurt she hadn't told him things that important, but he'd have to shove those feelings aside for now and care for his girlfriend.
"Listen, Lola. I know what it's like to lose someone you could've saved. I lost my sister, my big hero. I knew she had been losing grip, I knew she had fallen back... and when she said she'd finally put her problems to rest... I knew what she wanted to do, but I didn't stop her. To this day I still feel guilty that I didn't say anything to her. Maybe she would've still been here. Maybe, just maybe, I could've saved her from jumping off that skyscraper."
He ran his hand down Lola's back, sighing sadly as the images of his sister's funeral came back into his mind.
"My brother, Cole, is actually a twin. Stillborn. I never got to meet my other little brother. I know what you're going through, honey. But take my advice - you have to let those emotions in. Grieve. Cry. And the hardest part, accept that your mother is gone, and that you can't bring her back. It wasn't your fault. If a woman loses that much blood if the water has only just broke, it would have been only a matter of time before she'd die. Or be put into a coma and never wake up. That's not healthy."
He shook his head, took a deep breath and pulled Lola closer to him.
"Your mother isn't entirely gone. She lives on in your heart, and here, at the beach. Just like your brother."

 

[Scripted Away]

"i learned it by deepening my skills that at first only were able to control mist", Macon reminded hunter with a shrug of his shoulders, however looked around worried when Heather was gone all of a sudden.
"Where-"
But then she came back into the dome and said she had found a fish...however somewhere where there were no fish at all, apparently.
Mac quickly moved the water and fish back into their tanks, before he kneeled down in front of Heather and smiled softly.
"Alright, show us the fish", he said happily, ruffling her hair for a moment.

Raven smiled happily as she kissed Tyler back, her heart still beating faster whenever he was this close.
"I'll gladly tell him", she said with a soft smirk, squeaking happily for a second before she looked into Ty's eyes with a bright sparkling in hers.
"I know he will. He loves you so much. Wait a second!"
Giggling, Raven shifted into her half bunny form and disappeared into her closet, soon coming back in Judy hopps' typical police uniform, now looking almost exactly like her, excepting her slightly darker fur and deep blue eyes.
"I figured I'd have good use for this some day", she chuckled. "C'mon, this will be fun! You shift half fox and play the Nick Wilde. Imagine Billie's reaction when he sees us at the door!"

"I have a Miss Carol", Rose scoffed annoyedly while she took a bite of her pizza.
"She seperates boys and girls and lets them do different things. Means the boys only play football and baseball and basketball... And the girl only dance or make gymnastics. I hate it! I'm better than all the boys in my class in baseball, but she just won't let me play!"
Headdesking frustratedly, she sighed. "I'm sick of handstands and that crap..."
As Jim complimented the pizza, she gave him a soft smile and gently cuddled against his shoulder. "Hey Dad? I wanted to ask you something... You know, the meadow is so big, and we have so much space...I was wondering if we could build a paddock and stable sometime, and maybe one day have a horse. I used to ride at Grandpa Rex' ranch, but since the storm in Texas destroyed it all- and when I came home from school yesterday, I saw a man with a horse. It always tried to run, fought him with all it had. When I asked him if I should help, he didn't believe me that I could, but I told him about my time at Grandpa's ranch, and lastly, he let me. It's such an amazing horse... And it's super nice to me! The guy said it normally runs away from everyone, and that I'm the first one it ever let come close. He's seeking a new home and owner for him at the moment..."

Rachel watched Mike closely for a moment, before a faint smile appeared on her face.
"It doesn't sound as she to me as you might think it does", she explained. "It was the same with my husband and me. And he's the best example that someone can change their ways."
She turned to the wall, sighing silently, while she pushed her index and thumb against the root of her nose, thinking intently.
"My problem is that if I decide to trust you, and you turn out to be a traitor, innocent people might pay for my mistake."
Her gaze seemed to light up for a moment as she had an idea.
"There's one possibility. What I could offer as a solution for this problem is to let you two work in two different sections. Now, this is where it gets complicated.
The sections are in different countries. Section one is here in Germany, section 2 in Russia, section 3 in the states and section 4 in Korea. I could assign you to one of the other sections. Thing is, as far as I know, you're a human. You can't teleport. So you'd have to move to the country where your section is. Ava can teleport, that way you could see eachother whenever you want, you'd keep your job at my company, and Ava would be on the safe side."
Turning around to Mike again with a much softer gaze than before, she gently put a hand on his shoulder.
"And Mike- you should call your family and tell them it's going good sometime. They might be angry and disappointed, but they still care about you. At least my brother called today and asked me if you're okay. And your should put on a shirt. I'm still your boss." That last sentence however hadn't sounded that serious, and more like friendly teasing.

Sighing sadly, Lola just buried her face at Dylan's chest, cuddling against him tightly, and just let the tears run down her face.
"...I miss her so much...", She whispered brokenly while her fingers dug into the fabric of his shirt.
It took a while until she had calmed down, but after some time she finally managed to wipe the tears off her face and smile a small smile at Dylan.
"Look, I didn't mean to keep any secrets from you. And I sure as hell didn't mean to hurt you. I just didn't want you to feel like you were stopping me from living my life, because you aren't. My life would be so much darker without your bright smile. I love you, and i trust you blindly. Believe me when I say it had absolutely nothing to do with trust. I just didn't want you to worry even more than you already sometimes do. Hey-"
Softly kissing his nosetip, she looked up into his eyes, while her dress disappeared, making space for a simple, dark green bikini, revealing one huge tattoo taking up her entire back, upper arms and the back of her upper legs, another one just below her chest, running down all the way over her belly, the last bit disappearing somewhere under her pants.
"The ocean is warm here. Wanna go for a swim?"

 

[Wyosch]

Heather grinned happily, grabbed her parents' hands and dragged them with her towards the dogs' section.
She stopped in front of the cage with the Pomeranian pup, grinning even wider.
"This is-"
"OH MY GOD IT'S SO CUTE!", Hunter gasped, making some really high-pitched squealing, while her eyes widened to the size of saucers and she almost pressed her face against the glass.
"Look at those fluffy little paws and little fluffiness - Ahhhh I wanna squeeze it!"
Heather stared at her mother with big eyes for a moment, quite... surprised, before she just decided to ignore her squealing mother and turn to her dad.
"This is Fish!"

Tyler facepalmed, laughing.
"I knew it! I knew you'd ask that from me one day.", he mumbled, still laughing, while shaking his head, before he shifted into his half-shifted form, smiling akwardly at Raven.
"This alright?", he asked, raising an eyebrow at her with a playful smirk.

Jim frowned for a moment at Rose, thinking about her idea.
"You know horses are really lots of work, right? They cost incredibly much and are hard to train, especially for a girl your age. No matter if that horse let you near it or not.", he explained, thoughtfully running his hand over his face.
"Your mother is afraid of horses, and besides me there's only your aunt Hunter who's had experience with horses before. We both have jobs, you have to go to school, learn for classpapers, make homework, go to baseball, play with your friends, the horse will have to go to the vet, to the dentist, the smith-
Second, you can't keep a horse alone, as it's a herd animal, so that'd mean we'd have to buy another horse, which means even more work and even more money..."
He leaned back in his chair, pushing his middle finger against his temple while he was thinking a little more.
"Your sister will want a horse too then, just like your brother - and if I'm correct your cousin Heather will want one too - so we'd have even more horses or jealous, angry and crying little toddlers."
Jim pursed his lips, looking back at Rose.
"I'm not really in for that idea, no matter how much I love horses. It's just really time-consuming and expensive, and I'd have to train you and the horse which means I'll have to cut time for Mayrose or family-time, and I'm not even imagining what could happen if that horse'd go wild.
Most importantly, I don't want you to throw away your school for a horse. You'd finish your homework without thinking because you want to go to your horse, you won't really learn for tests because of your horse, you'll neglect your friendships, family and school because you'll be too busy with taking care of one horse.
I know you'll probably be mad at me now, but trust me on this out of own experience."

Mike immediately grabbed the blanket that was lying on the floor and put it around him with an akward chuckle.
"I'm sorry, ma'am.", he mumbled, sighing silently as she explained him her solutions.
"So... there'd really be no way we could stay together at one section...?", he asked sadly, looking down at the floor for a moment.
They'd both be so busy with work, that when they'd be home they'd be either too tired or asleep - given the huge time differences... which meant hardly any time for each other. And Mike never truly believed a long-distance-relationship could work.
"...then I'll quit, and try to find another job here, near Ava. I'm really sorry, and thankful for the opportunity you gave me, but if there's no way Ava and I could work together... I'll have to quit."

Dylan stared at Lola with a frown as she stood there in her bikini, blinking a couple of times.
"What the fu-", he mumbled, shaking his head after a while.
"Eh, I'd love to go for a swim with you but I don't have swimwear with me... and swimming in my boxers is going to be really uncomfortable."

 

[Scripted Away]

Macon was too busy staring at his wife...kind of terrified, to react to Heather at first, but then luckily managed to get over it and squatted down in front of the little shelter for the probably tiniest dog he had ever seen. If that could even be called a dog.
Honestly, he wasn't the biggest fan of tiny dogs, knowing that many of them were aggressive, annoying foot-honks, but this particular one seemed actually quite sweet.
Smiling softly, he carefully reached out so the little pup could get used to him.
"Then this is the furriest fish I've ever seen", he chuckled, winking at Heather. "He's really cute."
When all of a sudden Boo came flying and sat down on the edge of the shelter, watching the dog closely, Mac raised one eyebrow. The two would have to get along, or they'd have a big problem here...
As the parrot looked up at Heather, almost looking as if it was raising an eyebrow, Mac held his breath for a second.
"A formidable new matey for our crew!"
"This parrot, I swear", Noah and Mac both mumbled at the same time, looked at eachother for a moment in Surprise and both started laughing. "Okay, I need one of my animal-specialists here. Does fish wanna come with us?"

Raven stared at Tyler for a moment, before she tilted her head to the side.
"Okay you look so adorable", she chuckled, immediately jumped up to kiss him, even though that was kind of complicated with a fox nose and a rabbit mouth, and quickly teleported to the front door of the Millers.
"Excited?", She asked with a soft smirk, before she jumped up to ring the ring the doorbell, her left foot tapping on the ground rapidly while she tried to contain her own excitement.

"Tell that Amy...", Rose sighed silently, before she looked up at her dad with a sad smile on her face and just softly kissed his cheek.
"It's fine dad, I didn't say immediately. I said sometime in the future. Right now, I'm busy anyway."
Hey gaze flicked to the side nervously for a moment, before she cracked a smile. "I mean, with all the stuff you listed and so on."
Taking a big bite out of her pizza, she just stared at her plate as if she was trying to hypnotize it, before she grumbled a silent curse to herself, followed by something that kind of sounded like 'i hate being human' and just focused on eating again.

"Welcome at AF, section one, security grade 2. Trainee Agent under standard confidential degree", Rachel said with a soft smile at Mike, leaning against the wall.
She chuckled silently about his confused face, before she lifted her shoulders and started to explain.
"Would you be untrustworthy, and only using Ava to get information for hack or whoever else, you wouldn't leave AF to be with her. You understand where I'm going?"
Smiling softly, she shook her head. "And c'mon, I'm your step-aunt. We're basically family. So stop calling me ma'am, at least in private."
Giving him a hard pat on the back, she smirked widely.
"Ah and Mike- nice tattoo. Where'd you get it? My favorite tattoo shop closed last month and I still have plans for my left forearm."
By now, she was really deeply amused by Mike's confusion. Just too funny to see people's reactions when they noticed she was more than a badass boss.

Lola just lifted her shoulders at his surprise.
"Hey- this was supposed to be a nice evening, and I won't let it end like this. It will surely still take a long time until I fully got to terms with what happened to my mom and brother. But what would it being me to be all grumpy right now? I just wanna enjoy this beautiful beach and have a good time."
She softly kissed his cheek, smiling in an attempt to cheer Dylan up.
"But Is it just me or is there something else going on inside you then not having swimwear?", She asked carefully.

 

[Wyosch]

"LOOK AT THOSE TINY LITTLE PAWS!", Hunter squealed again, grinning widely at the little furball who seemed to stare at her with big eyes.
That's never happened to me before.
Heather nodded as her father asked if Fish wanted to come with them, and quickly turned to him and asked.
"Do you want to come with me?"
The little dog started barking excitedly - or well... he tried - running around in circles, which only made Hunter squeal more.
"I caaaaan't anymore! So much cuteness!"
"Mom! Calm down.", Heather mumbled, slightly scared, giggling when her mother smiled akwardly, ran her hand through her hair and pretended as if she hadn't just squealed the entire time.

Tyler's tail started wagging excitedly, which was quite strange as he was a fox... and foxes don't wag their tails.
As the door opened and a middle-aged woman stood in front of them, he started grinning widely.
"Eh-"
"Tyler. And Raven. Is Billie here?"
"Tyler?"
"Tyler Harris... Billie's brother."
"Oh... you.", the woman frowned for a moment, before she rolled her eyes and made them come in.
"Billie, your brother is here."
It didn't take long until a young boy came running towards them, his eyes widening as he saw Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde.
"Bunny!"

Jim frowned sorrowfully at his daughter, putting a hand on her shoulder and tilting his head so he'd look into her eyes.
"Sweetie... what's wrong?", he asked, gently running his hand down her back to comfort her.
She didn't look good.
Something was clearly wrong.
"Hey, Kai, will you watch some cartoons with Jackie and Angel?", he asked, the boy immediately getting up and grabbing his little siblings to bring them to the living room.
As they were the only ones left at the table - with William who was sleeping - Jim turned his chair so he could look at his daughter.
"If there's something bothering you, you can tell me. I'm there for you."

Mike was still staring at Rachel with big eyes, until he started grinning widely.
"You- what? Oh my god. It was a test, wasn't it? Whoa. Thank you!", he turned around to look if Ava was there, but then remembered she had left them to clear the stuff out.
He raised an eyebrow as Rachel asked about where he'd gotten his tattoo.
"I have a friend who's a tattoo artist. She's really great. I could ask her to phone you so you could make an appointment?"

Dylan nervously looked down to the floor, while he embarrassingly ran his hand through his hair.
"I eh-", he gulped, starting to breathe heavily.
"I kinda don't know... how to swim.", he mumbled silently, keeping his head down, preparing himself to be laughed at.

 

[Scripted Away]

Mac slightly shook his head at Hunter's squealing, before he opened the door of the shelter, so the little dog could come out.
"Okay, look-", he said silently, turning to Heather with a slightly sorrowful gaze. "We have a cat at home, remember? Skipper has to get along with him, and that might not be easy. we all have to help the two become friends. Okkisay?"
"Don't we also need dig stuff then?", Noah asked, stroking trough Boo's feathers.
Mac nodded. Although internally, he was wondering if there was even stuff for a dog of that size. Turning to Heather, he smirked softly. "Okay, ready for a little dog quiz? What things do we need for this little guy? Apart from a name."

Raven frowned slightly about the way Mrs Harris talked to Tyler, but barely had time to get grumpy because Billy was already running down the stairs.
"Billie!" Grinning happily, she shifted human again, and picked Billie up, holding him with one arm while she took Tyler's, right now, fluffy hand with a soft smile.
"We have awesome news, Billie", she explained happily. "I've had a talk with the lady from the youth welfare service today, and guess what she said afterwards: if you want, you can finally live with your brother! Aaand- heh-"
Smirking softly, she held up their hands, fingers intertwined, her eyes sparkling. "Sometime, with us."

Rose just sighed sadly, and pulled note after note out of the pockets of her jeans.
Boy-girl
Dumbass
You are so ugly
Never talk to us again
Leave town
What's it like to be the weakling of the family?!
Tomato head
Gay and ugly
She wiped a small tear off her cheek. "Amy and her friends; they-"
She just let out a sad sigh, rested her arms on the table and hid her face in them.
"They are all anoms, they have all powers. And they pick on me because I'm just a human. And now Amy's parents gave her a horse for her birthday, and she keeps picking on me even more and saying 'your parents don't love you because you are human! That's why I have a horse and you don't!' and I know it's not true, but- it hurts anyway... Here, that's all I can do!"
She held up her hand, where a tiny spark of light appeared for a second, before it tumbled to the ground and disappeared.
"I'm a total damp squib. You can all do so amazing things, and all I'm capable of is making an idiot of myself by talking back when Amy said gay people are ugly. All I said is that there's nothing wrong with that! And now she keeps calling me ugly because I rather hang out with the boys of my class."

"Totally", Rachel chuckled with a wink at him, resting her hands on her hips, veggie she turned to the door, that opened all of a sudden- Ava g into the room as she had been leaning against it.
"Avania-!"
Ava just grinned awkwardly. "Heh, eh- ...sorryy~"
Rachel just chuckled softly, shaking her head.
"Remember to upgrade his confidently degree to 2 tomorrow, okay?"
"Yup! Does that mean-?"
"Secrecy law still applies, keep that in mind!"
"Of course! Thank you."
Smiling softly, Rachel nodded at Ava, before she turned to Mike again. "And hey, would be grade if she could call me. Guess I'm quite picky when it comes to tattoo artists. Ah and Sam asks how it's going. What should I tell him?"

Looks just smiled softly as she tilted Dylan's chin up and kissed his forehead.
"I can teach you, if you want."
She was kinda worried by the fact that Dylan apparently thought she would laugh at him, but that had time till later... Or not? She probably wouldn't stop thinking about it until it would have been cleared up.
"Hey, you didn't really expect to be laughed at now, did you?", She mumbled softly. "C'mon, I love you. Why in all worlds should I laugh at you? Y'know I'm not that kind of person."

 

[Wyosch]

"He already has a name!", Heather protested, grinning. "His name is Fish. And we'll need dog food, a dog tray where we can put the water and food in, a leash, a collar, brushes to make him pretty, and a dog bed or pillow where he can sleep on.", she explained, smirking proudly at her own answer.
"Quiz for you! What breed is Fish?"

Tyler shifted back into his human form, grinning happily as Billie's mouth dropped open, and his eyes widened.
"Does that mean we'll be a real family now?!", the little boy called, his eyes sparkling happily.
"Yes, indeed.", his big brother replied, heeling down, a tear rolling down his cheek as he hugged Billie.
"Will she be like my new mom?"
"Eh well- more like a big sister."
"Either way, I love her!", Billie giggled, running up to Raven and hugging her as tightly as possible.

Jim's eyes widened sadly, and he felt as if he was the one being bullied.
He'd always been tough and had never tried to get friends... which ended up in him always finding notes like that too.
He just stared at Rose for a moment, thinking about all the possibilities he'd had to make the bullying stop.
"What's Amy's surname? I'll call her parents and talk to them to make them teach their daughter some manners. Next I'll call your class teacher and I want to talk to her and your entire class. Not to embarrass you or anything, but it's first to teach them what stuff like that can do, and second if they see a guy like me they won't harass his daughter."
He sighed sadly, shaking his head.
"I'm so sorry, honey..."

"Tell him I'm the happiest I've ever been.", Mike mumbled, turning to Ava and hugging her tightly.
"I'll text Sam the number for the tattooist. First have to find it.", he explained, sighing happily.
"Thank you, step-aunt-in-law.", he smiled happily, his eyes sparkling softly.
"What would you've done had I said I'd just change section?"

"I'm just used to being laughed at because I can't swim...", Dylan mumbled sadly, slightly tilting his head as he looked back at her.
"You could teach me? Is swimming hard? The waves here aren't dangerous, are they?"

 

[Scripted Away]

"Very good", Mac said nodding, a Soft Smile on his Face.
"I'm pretty sure that...Fish- is a pomeranian", he explained, before he turned to the rest of his family.
"Alright, who wants to help Heather find all the stuff for fish? I quickly wanted to check out the birds section.''

Raven smiled happily as she wrapped her arms around Billie, picked him up once more and wrapped her other arm around Tyler, cuddling against him.
''A real family", she mumbled softly, looking at Tyler with sparkling eyes.
"And damn I will protect my family.''
She planted a soft kiss on Tyler's cheek, before she turned around to Mrs.Miller.
"Mrs.Miller. I just want to thank you for taking care of Billie until we could care for him. We certainly ow you one." Looking at Billie and Tyler again, her smile turned into a happy grin.
"Whatcha say, you two, let's go home, hm?"

Rose looked up at her dad with tears in her eyes as her fingers dug into the wood of the table. She didn't even notice she had left deep dents where her fingers had been.
"But- it will only get worse then because they hate me then! Even more than they already Do...!"
Burying her face at Jim's chest, she cuddled against him tightly, trying to find some comfort.
''...im scared dad...'', she whispered sadly, before her dace gained a desperate expression. "And im so sick of being just a little human! I don't want to be the weakling of the family!"

''I would've let you change sections and would have told fox to keep a close eye on you. And you'd still be security grade 1", Rachel explained with a soft smirk, before she smiled at Ava.
''That happy smile there suits you. Don't lose it", she said, smiling gently, before she gave Mike a tight handshake.
"And you better stay the way you are now, Mike. Healthier for everyone."
She winked at him, smirked at Ava, and lastly teleported on the meadow again, where she just stayed for a moment, smiling softly at the clouds in the sky, before she teleported to Sam.
"Sammy!"
"Rey!", Sam said surprised, a happy grin on his face as he hugged his sister. "What's up?"
"News from Mike. He's doing great. He's happy, healthy and in love. You would barely recognize him."

Look at the ocean", Lola said with a soft smile, pointing her finger at the masses and masses of water in front of them.
"See That? Where the water is this tealish light blue? And where it suddenly turns darker sapphire blue? That's where the reefs end. Thats where the waves get rough, but everything near the reef is perfectly safe.''
Smiling softly, she touched Dylan's chest, his outfit making space for some simple, black swim shorts.
"Hello handsome", she chuckled, turning to the water, the warm light of the torches warming her back.
"My mom could turn into a giant sea turtle", she explained with a soft smile, softly touching the part of her tattoo that reached over her shoulders. "She's always a part of me."
Smiling cheerfully again, she went a few feet into the water, till it reached up to her waist, and held her hands out to Dylan.
"Come here, trust me."

"Very good!", Heather replied to her father, immediately running off when he said she should get the dog stuff. Hunter picked up the puppy, making a weird, yet cute face to Macon and kissed his cheek.
"I'll see you three in a few moments then. Love you!", and she went on to find their daughter.
Misha looked up at his dad with big eyes, smiling happily.
"Can we go to the birds now?"

Tyler quickly shook Mrs. Harris' hand before he put his hand on Raven's and Billie's shoulder to teleport them to Raven's home.
"I bet you're hungry, aren't you?"
"Always!"
Tyler smirked, rummaging around in the pockets of his jeans before he took out a Twix-bar.
"Got your favorite!"
Billie grinned widely as Tyler handed him the snack, and immediately ripped one piece off to give it to Raven.
"This is for you!"

Jim's face now gained a soft frown, and he put his hands on Rose's shoulders, sadly shaking his head.
"Listen very closely, Rose. You are not just a weak human. You are not the weakling of the family. You're a Davis. No matter if you're an anom or a human, we all love you, and you're beautiful and special just the way you are. You don't have to be an anom to be something special.", he explained, gently stroking some of her tears away with his thumb.
"However, if you really want, I could give you a shift and powers. I'm a god after all. But don't forget that you're already perfect the way you are, and if others don't see that they're all stupid asshats.", he winked, sighing silently.
"We'll fix this. I already have some ideas on how. But honey, please, promise me that next time you have a problem, tell me, or your mother if that suits you better. We can help you, okay? I love you."

Mike stared at the spot where Rachel'd just stood, before he turned to Ava and picked her up with a tight hug, turning around once.
"We can just stay together and work together!", he laughed happily, kissing Aba deeply.
"You know... Rachel told me the only way we could stay together was me to switch sections and move to another country. I told her I appreciated her offer, but I'd quit so I could stay with you here in Germany and I'd just find a new job..."

Emma got up from the couch as she heard Sam talking to his sister, smiling painfully as she walked towards them, one hand under her fat belly.
"Did you just say Mike is in love?", she asked, her eyes sparkling softly. "Who is she, or he? Is it something that's like real love, or like with his past relationships?"

Dylan took a deep breath as he walked up to Lola into the water, biting his lip at first because it was kinda cold, but warmed up quickly.
"Okay... okay and now?", he mumbled, gulping nervously. "I'm honestly kinda scared."

 

[Scripted Away]

Smirking softly, Mac squatted down in front of his son.
"So, you wanna come with me to the birds, hm?"
"We wanna come, too!", Noah called excitedly, stroking through Boo's feathers. "What so you wanna do in the birds section, dad?"
Macon just lifted his shoulders while he went into a random direction, hoping to find the birds somewhere.
"Well, macaws usually live in swarms, and you will soon be busy in kindergarten. So i figured it would just be fair if we got boo a companion."

"Awww, thank you!", raven said with a happy smile, taking the piece from Billie. As she looked up at Tyler, smirking softly, she remembered how he had talked about his place. Didn't sound like the ideal place for a kid... nor for... anyone. At least how he had made it sound.
"Hey, Ty", she said, kind of hesitantly.
''I don't know your place, but from how you sounded when you talked about it, it doesn't seem like the best place for a kid... I don't know, my house here is pretty big, and even though there occasionally is a snake or two from my aunt's cousin, it's... Nice, overall. And I have an unused room just beside my bedroom. There are many kids here, company for Billie, and two of them are even of about hsi age. So, if you two need a place to crash until you found something bigger...or just wanna stay- my door's always open for both of you. Just give it a thought."

Rose stared at her father with huge, brightly sparklin eyes.
"Really?! Can I become a wolf like you?! How does it work, do you kind of...magic me up and i imagine my shift and then I have it?! And what abilities?!"
By now, she was clinging to her father's arm.
"Imagine I could tuen into a wolf! Then we could run throuh the forest together, and i could play with William and-"
Grinning happily, she jumped on her father's lap and cuddled against him tightly.
"Thank you daddy... not only for helping me with this. For helping me with any, too, and for loving me how i am. I love you too.''

Ava stared up at Dylan with wide eyes, a tiny year gathering in her eyes.
"You would have done that just to be with me...?", she whispered touched, darted forwards and cuddled against him tightly, sighing happily.
"I love you..."
As she realized what she had just said, she blinked a couple of times, surprised by her own words, and even more, that they were true.
''I can't believe this is real", she whispered softly. "That yo are real."

"One of my best coworkers", Rachel explained with a soft smirk. "Ava Romanov. One of the mightiest witches existing, and a strong and brave young woman. You should have seen them."
Her smile turned proud as she thought of how Mike had declined her offer to be with the one he loved. Yeah, that meant something. A whole lot.
"I think he's really serious about it this time", she said softly. "He was about to give everything up for her. He seemed like a completely different person. It was beautiful."

Lola smiled softly as she ran her hands over the surface, her eyes sparkling just like the water.
"Well, I know many teachers start by showing you the basics, movements and so on, but I thin that's the wrong way", she explained gently.
"The first thing you need to understand, is that the water is not your enemy. You need to understand it. You can't fight it, but you can go with it, and make it work for you. It doesn't try to pull you down, that's your body. The water tries to keep you up, it carries you. You at first have to lose your fear, and i have an idea how to."
She softly kissed him, running her fingers over his arms. "Trust me, honey?''

 

[Wyosch]

"Another talking bird?", Misha asked, grabbing his father's hand as they made their way to the birds' section.
"Daddy? When will I go to kindergarten?"

Tyler sighed silently, taking out his phone and showing Raven a picture of his place, making sure Billie wouldn't see it.
"I actually wanted to ask if he could stay here. I mean, I don't know, it'd probably be weird for you to immediately make me move in with us not even dating for half a day yet... If he could just stay here? I can still crash at my place, but that's not where I want him to play and sleep."

Jim tightly hugged Rose, smiling softly at his beautiful daughter.
"You can run with me in the forest now as well. You can play with your brother being human. Being human doesn't limitate what you can or can't do, okay honey? But if you really want, yes, I could give you a shift. Me being the devil I can't give you any really cool abilities, so you'd have to ask your mother for that.", he explained, stroking some streak of hair behind her ear.
"And of course I'll help you, no need to thank me. You're my daughter, I'm your father. I'm there to help you."

Mike nodded, smiling softly as he hugged Ava tightly again.
"I know what you mean, I feel as if this is a dream. I mean... to meet someone like you, that's hardly possible. You're perfect.", he mumbled, kissing her forehead with a loving sparkling in his eyes.
"I love you too, Ava."

Emma sighed happily, leaning against Sam's side.
"That makes me so proud... I just hope he'll stay like that. Then he should turn out just fine...", she mumbled, looking up at Sam with sparkling eyes before back at Rachel.
"Would you like something to eat? Drinl?"

Dylan gulped nervously, lastly just nodding at what Lola had said.
"Yes, I trust you... but what are you gonna do now? Throw me in front of the sharks?"

 

[Scripted Away]

"We'll see, only if there's a fitting one", Macon said shrugging, before he smiled at Misha.
"Well, usually kids go to kindergarten when they are three or four. But it is possible to go to kindergarten much earlier as well. There were quite a few one- and two-year-olds back then when aunt Rachel was still a little girl."

Raven looked at the picture with big, sorrowful eyes for a moment, before she just clicked the delete button and shook her head.
That there was barely more than a mattress on the ground, surrounded by chaos.
"That's not a place where Billie should live. Nor a place where you should live."
She kissed him softly and just smiled gently, her eyes full of love.
"Hey, we might only be dating for about half a day, but we've been good friends for a long time before. So if you aren't comfortable calling it 'moving in'...well, just call it long-term-couch-surfing."
She winked, smirking softly. "Just that you won't surf on my couch, but on the free side of my king size bed. I love you- and i won't let you sleep on a mattress on the ground like that."

Rose smiled softly as she gently stroked through her dad's hair, and cuddled against him tightly while a small, happy tear ran down her cheek.
"Thank you daddy...", she whispered, her face buried into his chest while her arms were wrapped around him tightly. Looking up at him with her deep brown eyes sparkling brightly, she played around with his dog tag.
"Daddy? No matter what happened back then when drake hurt mom... - i think you are the best dad in the world."
A proud grin spread on her face as she grabbed his hand tightly, a determined, hopeful expression on her face.
"I will be the best human ever! Nothing will ever get me down. Not as long as my dad's with me."
She sighed happily as she stroked over his hands. "When I'm older, i want to be just as brave as you. I love you, daddy." All of a sudden, her eyes widened, and she slapped her forehead.
"Wait!"
As quickly as could, she ran up into her room, and soon came back, hiding something behind her back.
"Raven and I made something for you", she explained with a soft smile, took Jim's hand and gently placed a little something in it.
Also handing him a letter, rose lifted her shoulders. "Raven showed me how to engrave the letters, and helped me get it all in shape", she explained. "She also asked me to give you this letter."
Dad
I know the past weeks have been cold between us, and i feel like there's a lot to clear...
I have been hard on you...maybe too hard. When someone gives his best, is he really to blame if he makes a mistake?
I have been trying to answer that question for myself; And I was wrong.
There's this person who means incredibly much to me, and finally made me realize what you must have been going through when you had supposedly lost mom. It must have been hell. Worse than hell...
I just want you to know that I love you, dad, and that I'd be really happy if we could start over.
And I'm sorry I didn't tell you this in person. I guess I'm a lot like you in that case- writing these few lines already took me about 2 hours till now. Don't wanna imagine how it'd have gone live. Jeez...!
But whatever.
See the studwork house all the way on the other side of the meadow? The dark brown entrance door? It's always open for you.
I love you dad.
See you soon,
Your big girl

"I'm hardly perfect", Ava chuckled with a soft smile, softly stroking over Mike's cheek.
She still didn't understand how or why, but his presence just calmed her down so much, and finally put her troubled mind to rest.
Cuddling against him with a happy sigh, she looked up at him. "Hey, can i ask you something...? You said I'm the only one who ever tried to understand you. Didn't your family try to talk to you? Rachel sounded like your stepfather cares a lot about you."

While Sam sighed relieved, softly stroking over Emma's back, Rachel just shook her head with a gentle smile.
"Nah, ill go home now. Just quickly wanted to let you know things are going uphill."
Nodding at them reassuringly, she took a step back, and disappeared in a bright flash of fire.

"There are no sharks here at the reef", Lola said calmly, and just gently pulled Dylan with her, further into the water, until it reached up to her chest.
"I just want you to get familiar with the sea", she explained calmly. "Just hold on to my hand, stay calm, and trust me."
Smiling softly, she made another step back and smiled widely at the beautiful underwater scenery.
Surfacing again, she smirked softly.
"Beautiful, isn't it? Are you ready to go a bit deeper with me?"

 

[Wyosch]

"What do you do in Kindergarten?", Misha asked, taking quick steps so he could keep up with his dad.
"Do you learn stuff there? Like calculating? And writing?"

Tyler frowned sadly, a soft smile on his face as he looked at his little brother for a moment, before back at Raven.
"Thank you.", he mumbled, gently kissing her cheek.
"Talking about beds, it's quite late already. Especially for you, little man. Time to sleep."
Billie let out an annoyed groan, just cuddling against Raven tighter.
"As we still don't have a bed for him... could he crash next to you in your bed then? I'll sleep on the couch."

Jim stared at they keychain with big eyes, holding back some tears as he hugged Rose tightly, kissing her forehead.
"Thank you... it's beautiful...", he mumbled, a soft smile appearing on his face as he ran his thumb over it. He immediately took out his house keys so he could fasten the keychain onto them, but just then Rose gave him the letter.
Reading it with big eyes, a tear escaping his eyes, he just kept staring at the letter for a moment before he turned to Rose again.
"You're perfect. Don't ever let anyone bring you down. You're so much more than you think you are.", he whispered softly, smiling lovingly. "Trust me when I say that you're perfect."

Mike sighed silently, lifting his shoulders.
"They all tried to talk to me, but didn't try to understand why I did what I did. Nobody wanted to understand.", he explained, running his fingers through Ava's soft hair.
"Yet, you out of all people did."

Dylan took a deep breath, nodding nervously at Lola.
"O-okay. Let's go.", he mumbled, smiling determined.
"It isn't that bad yet. The water is nice-"
