FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE (2021) dev. Square Enix

#VISAGE.#):#POOKIE!!!!

promise you'll come and save me.

dangerous territory were the memories of his life before SOLDIER, before the cracks formed & fragmented his life forever. yet it is the only destination for the boy who wanted to become a hero & the girl who waited for him. the creaks of seventh heaven fill the air, adding to the ambience of tifa's home & business. it helped alleviate the silence between them, not that were was much with tifa ensuring cloud didn't retreat into himself. truthfully, he didn't want to either.

the half empty glass rests firmly on the table with his hand fastening it, eyes wandering off as to not let himself become too obvious. their conversation had taken tangents tenfold, though now reaches its inevitable destination. she recited their conversation from their childhood, atop the water tower, where she made him take this promise originally. cloud's chest ached, his heart beating in tandem with the pain banging in his head. yet he perseveres, for this moment to become fulfilled & for her most of all. eyes flicker back towards her, nonchalance dominating his posture as he throws back the rest of his drink. ❛ i'm here now, aren't i? ❜ a beat, swallowing down the burning sensation that followed. ❛ not that you'll need saving. you look stronger. but ... ❜ cloud tapers off into silence, as if the promise were about to become renewed through his own lips. albeit, he lost himself in his own thoughts again. ❛ yeah. you got it. ❜

having cloud back was still strange. he'd changed so much since she'd seen him last — then again, she'd changed too. both formidable fighters, both having gone through the destruction of their home, both in completely different places than they probably thought they'd be. tifa never expected cloud to leave SOLDIER. it was all he talked about doing as kids, his dream. maybe he'd had a harsh awakening after joining shinra. she'd always wanted the best for him. to think that his dream wasn't actually what he'd wanted it to be hurts her heart.

“ a promise is a promise, cloud. ” she dries off a freshly-washed glass, watching him as she sets it back in its spot without having to look. he was right, though. tifa was more than capable of defending herself now. she's had to do it for the past five years, all without him. “ i'm happy you finally came back. can't wait to see more of that training in action. ” she leans forward on the bar counter, hands clasped together, staring into his eyes. she doesn't know if she'll ever get used to the mako blue that replaced the sky blue he once had. “ want a drink? it's on the house. ”

aerith lays with her back turned to tifa, though sleep far eludes the cetra. wide open eyes trace the timeworn wood panels of the inn's modest wall. she could sense it — tifa's restlessness, of wounds reopened. her heart aches with empathy, for how could anyone sleep about hearing what cloud shared tonight? least of all tifa. memories once buried must now be stirring in her chest like the embers of nibelheim caught in the breeze.

she hears the rustle of bedsheets as tifa shifts behind her, followed by her voice breaking through the stiff silence. ❝ ... barely, why? ❞ the reply is quiet, despite aerith having been wide awake this whole time. aerith rolls onto her side, emerald eyes finding tifa's in the dim light, and an arch weaves through her brow. ❝ it's about cloud, isn't it? what he said ... about nibelheim? ❞

she knew her so well. it was almost scary. she'd barely known aerith, but somehow, she was able to read her better than everyone she grew up with and had known for years. even cloud. tifa sighs quietly, propping herself up on her elbow and staring at the ratty sheets on the hotel bed. “ yeah, it is. ” she says, looking up from the bed to aerith. she'd have to be delicate with this. it wasn't that she didn't believe cloud — he knew everything perfectly, down to the detail. he had to have been there, somehow.

“ there's just something that wasn't right. ” she says, eyes narrowing slightly as she tries to figure out how to go forward. “ he got everything right. down to sephiroth attacking me. there's just one thing. ” tifa sits up in bed, turning her body to face her friend. “ cloud wasn't there. ” her eyes widen, eyebrows knit together. “ it was a different soldier. he was tall, and he had brown hair, and mako blue eyes. i would've remembered if cloud was there when nibelheim burned. but he wasn't. ” an unfulfilled promise runs through her mind — just promise me one thing. when we're older and you're a famous SOLDIER, if i'm ever trapped or in trouble, promise you'll come and save me. he did eventually fulfill that promise, of course — but she selfishly wished it was earlier. maybe nibelheim would still be standing. “ it wasn't cloud. it wasn't him. i don't know how he knows what happened there. ”

they'd seen every attraction possible in the gold saucer — each more exciting than the last. they'd watched the chocobo races, they'd played with boxing robots, they'd even seen their best friend sing her heart out and receive a standing ovation and a call for an encore. all that remained was the skywheel, and despite it being the most tame of the attractions, it was the one that scared her the most. it was kind of romantic, wasn't it? going up there with someone you liked? maybe she was overthinking it. maybe cloud felt the same way too. “ okay! last one. ” she puts her hands on her hips and looks at cloud, then motions to the wheel with her thumb. “ and we have tickets. i say we go on before they decide to shut it down again, hm? ” tifa grins, walking over to him. she should just grab his hand. he didn't pull away last time — he actually moved to lace their fingers together. feeling brave, she does the same thing as she did the last time they were here. her gloved hand curls around his, giving it a squeeze before heading towards the wheel again. “ i wonder if there will be fireworks. wouldn't it be cool to see them from that close? ”

AS SAID BY THE INVISIBLE WOMAN IN MARVEL RIVALS * adjust as necessary

i'm not the type who fades quietly into the background.

power like yours can change worlds. i'm glad you decided that it should change them for the better.

please tell me this isn't the date night you've been planning for us.

i appreciate you looking out for me, but i'm not about to miss the final battle.

for someone so brilliant, it's amazing how oblivious you can be.

that kind of violence isn't really my style.

i'll strike when they least expect it.

i thought we were supposed to be on the same side.

something bothering you, [name]?

some villains don't just know when to quit.

i could help with that... but not in the way i think you mean.

trust me. you were born for this.

people think they can see right through me.

you know me. when i'm needed, i'm there.

don't make me hurt you.

can we just focus on what we're doing here?

i need you to promise me you'll show some restraint out there.

was that supposed to be a compliment?

it's been so long since i've had a night out. this will have to do.

after all these years, saving the world still hasn't gotten old.

family still comes first.

even when you can't see me, i'll still make you believe.

it feels good to step outside my bubble every now and then.

we didn't ask to be heroes, but we always answer the call.

who wants to see something fantastic?

they'll never see me coming.

i won't disappear so easily.

thought you wouldn't see me again?

it's clear i'm still needed here.

i'll fight for my family until the end.

i hope this is important. i had a date night planned.

this is just a normal tuesday in our family.

we'll do this the same way we always do. together.

some things you just can't unsee.

i don't give up so easily.

what they're doing here, it's unspeakable.

i could be in and out of here with no one ever noticing.

you forced my hand.

you have no clue how long i've wanted to do that.

you should've seen that coming.

everyone saw that. how embarrassing.

i've got you covered.

you should pay more attention.

it was an honor to serve alongside you.

i'll make them pay for this.

i hate to admit it, [name], but i'm going to miss you.

we can always count on you, [name].

i was getting worried.

a little help please?

anyone willing to help?

i'm afraid we're outnumbered.

this place is begging to be attacked.

i need a hand over here.

no need to worry.

i'll make it through.

over here! i can heal you!

get ready to do some damage.

this place is worth a good look.

don't give up what's ours.

we can't afford to slow down.

even small victories are worth celebrating.

be proud of what you did here.

let's get this done.

this isn't the time for a slow dance.

it's up to us to end this.

we're out of time.

#this is the prettiest woman alive. this is her #OOC.

there was something about cloud's story that seemed wrong. she wants to believe him, of course. fighting sephiroth should unite them together — but there was one thing wrong with the story he told. every single detail was right, and it even seemed like he was there. it had tifa questioning herself. but the SOLDIER that was there wasn't cloud — his name was zack. visually, he was the complete opposite of cloud. dark hair, a bright face. now that she's thinking about it, she's pretty sure he had the same sword. was it standard issue or something? “ hey, ” tifa rolls over to face aerith, the old hotel bed creaking as she does. “ are you awake? there's something bothering me, and i don't know if i'm just going crazy or remembering it wrong... ”
