[holyspiritoffical]

*A note appeared outside the nearest vent, very visible. It read*

I was asked by Rasine to convey the following:

'Savi's hurt. I don't know how long it will be before he's awake. He won't die. Please don't panic.'

The cobbled street Quinn loiters in is nearly flooded with earlier hour's rain, the water mirroring the low light of the streetlamps. The note is visible, but difficult to read in the dark. They focus hard, and slowly, the words come together.

They close their eyes, trying to sense anything, get information about anything, but their days of always knowing have been gone for a long time. And oh, they hate it. What they do know? someone hurt their dad. someone failed to protect their dad.

They move so fast it seems they vanish for a second. In little to no time, they're at the FUCS compound and absolutely furious. they definitely ignored the "Please don't panic" portion of the note, oh well. Quinn practically kicks the door down to Savi's room and charge in. They ignore the others in the room and make a beeline for Rasine, grabbing his collar harshly. "TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED."

@creativer-name-offical @supervillain-offical

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

*Rasine looked up at Quinn- he had been sitting, sleeping, besides Savi's bed. They had been crying again in their sleep, silently. Their eyes went wide, and they quickly shifted a small blade on instinct, but made no move to use it. They didn't respond for a moment.*

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He had been sitting against the opposite wall from the bed, as he had come to do a lot, just staring at the floor infront of him.*

*He looks up as Quinn enters the room, freezing.*

*After a moment he stands up, shaking slightly, but he doesn't move or say anything.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*alarmed, gently*

Quinn, Quinn it-it’s okay-

I-I’m okay-

Well-

*tries to quickly move the blanket above his bullet wound*

More or less-

But y-you don’t need to-

This isn’t Rasine’s fault, I can explain-

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn glances to Savi but keeps their grip on Rasine "WERE YOU THERE?! Who- what happened! ANSWER ME!"

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"I was-

He-"

Rasine unmade the blade, shaking just slightly, but speaking.

"We went out to a bar. I messed up. I made Lain leave. That led to Cain leaving. I went after Lain. I should've been with Savi- I shouldn't have let him be left alone while drunk-"

He said it quietly, barely loud enough for Quinn to hear, making no move to get away from Quinn.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Hesitates for a moment but walks quickly over to them, stepping as between them as possible, looking at Quinn.*

*Loudly.*

Get away from him. I know you want to know what happened. But this isn't the way to do it.

Leave Rasine alone.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*firmly*

It was my fault, Quinn. I-I’m so sorry, but I’m the one who should be explaining, not Rasine.

*gently*

I’m alright. Now let them go.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn reluctantly let's go of Rasine but keeps the closeness and tone. They turn to Vincent, "Don't you tell me what to do, I'm defending my father!"

Then, pointing at Rasine, "for gods' sakes, I just KNEW there was something off about you"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine shrunk back, looking down, still shaking.

"I'm sorry-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

I don't give a fuck about you "defending your father".

Get away.

*He looks to Rasine for a moment, taking his hand gently and reassuringly.*

They have done absolutely nothing but help. You're the problem here.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*Savi is torn, not wanting to hurt either of them*

*sharply*

Quinn-

*inhales*

No one is the problem here and no one is at fault e-except me. There is nothing off about Rasine. I-I know you’re upset-

*takes a breath*

I-I shot myself, Quinn.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

They were about to defend themself against Vincent when Savi said that.

Their eyes widen and their anger seems to leave them, they lower their hand and take one small step away from Rasine, facing Savi.

They're silent for many moments.

"You... why would you... I thought..."

Quinn's fingertips glow slightly with faint yellow light, a subconscious trigger of their ability to heal.

"Why, Dad?" ( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine gently squeezed Vincent's hand, looking up at him, then over to Savi, avoiding looking back at Quinn. He took a breath, then moved closer to Vincent and gently squeezed his hand again.

"Thank you-" he muttered softly.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He doesn't say anything, just glaring at Quinn and gently squeezing Rasine's hand in acknowledgement.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

I-I-

*looks away, ashamed*

I was drunk. I…thought I was being abandoned by some of my friends, I got overwhelmed and I wasn’t thinking.

Rasine…Rasine was the one who brought me back. If it weren’t for him and Cain I’d still be bleeding out in a bar.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn sends a glare to Rasine as his name comes up, then turns back to Savi. Their trying not to cry, but they're actually doing well at it.

"I should've been here sooner."

"You've had painkillers or something? Has a doctor been? Gods, how are you even a-"

"I- how can I help?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine flinched at the glare, looking down but speaking softly.

"He's had painkillers. He's had someone look at him. He's supposedly healing as he should be."

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He moved slightly closer to Rasine, squeezing his hand again. Still glaring at Quinn.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

Quinn. I’ll be okay, now stop glaring at Rasine.

It’s because of him that someone’s looked at me, and that I’ve had painkillers.

Because I’m immortal, it can’t kill me, it’ll just take a bit to heal.

I’m sorry I worried you.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn mutters to themself, "supposedly?" after Rasine talks, still bitter.

"Yeah, yeah I get it, devil horns and that, but..."

They take a breath.

"Does it still hurt?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"If it does, I can get you more painkillers, Sav- I didn't want to give you the highest dose of everything I could all at once so I wouldn't leave you with nothing you could take later, otherwise I would've given you more already-"

He leaned slightly on Vincent, comforted with him here, being close.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Yeah if you're in pain we can get you more painkillers, Savi.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

It hurts a little, yeah, but I’m alright.

I’m healing as I’m supposed to so the pain doesn’t really bother me.

*smiles tiredly*

Thanks. To all of you.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

"How'd you get the gun?"

"I mean, I know you always have weapons, but someone must've known it was within reach while you were drunk."

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"..."

Rasine looked down again. It hadn't crossed his mind that the normal things Savi always carried with him could be dangerous while he was drunk. He hadn't thought to ask Savi to leave them behind. Not that it would've mattered. Cain had guns with it, and Lain probably had too. There were weapons around, even if Savi hadn't brought any.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Nobody thought he was gonna fucking shoot himself when they looked away. Nobody was planning on leaving him alone in the first place.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

I-

Y-yeah they-they didn’t even know I had been drinking as much as I had before that-

And I probably wouldn’t have let anyone take my gun-

But I’m alright, Quinn.

And nobody’s at fault but me.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

(to Vincent) "I DON'T CARE. This should never have happened." (to the room) "Can we all stop being so okay with the fact my dad could've killed himself? Please?" "And Savi, gods, stop saying that. You blame yourself too much."

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine was visibly trying not to cry, squeezing Vincent's hand again.

"Savi.. it wasn't your fault-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Then you should of stopped him yourself if you blame everyone so fucking much for letting this happen.

We are not okay with the fact he shot himself-

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*snaps*

Quinn! It’s nobody’s fault, I’m an adult, I’m responsible for my own decisions, nobody is okay with that but what’s done is done. Please, calm down. I understand you’re upset but you can’t go pinning it on my partners!

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

They're about to shout something back at Savi, but with a glance around the room they see everyone looking angry or upset or right at them. Quinn forces themself to calm their voice. It's strained. They focus on a spot on the ground. ... "...right."

"How can I help now?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine spoke quietly- it was unclear who he was speaking to, or if he was speaking to everyone.

"Thank you."

He looked to Savi, also wanting to know how he could help right now.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Mutters.*

Better.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*sighs and nods*

Thank you, Quinn. I-I mean-

I don’t know if your healing power would work on this wound but we could try? If you’d like?

*reaches for Rasine’s hand and smiles over at Vincent*

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

"mhm..." They walk to Savi's side, their fingertips glowing even brighter now. Quinn pulls up a nearby chair and hovers their hand over Savi's chest. "Just guide it to where the wound is and breathe."

They glance at Savi reaching for Rasine's hand but don't say anything.

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine quickly took Savi's hand, squeezing it softly, also squeezing Vincent's hand. He smiled softly.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Quickly smiling back at Savi.*

*He was still watching Quinn, but was no longer glaring.*

*He gently smiles to Rasine.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*nods, takes a breath, slowly guides Quinn’s hand to the wound which is right through his heart*

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn winces as they feel it, but focuses and starts healing. At first, it hurts slightly for Savi, then the ache stops. Quinn sits down, still holding their hand there, and turns to Rasine and Vincent. Their voice is very deliberately monotone. "Savi's gonna need some more water and food if I'm healing him. If either of you could do that, please." The politeness is kind of sarcastic as much as they try not to be. ( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine didn't want to let go of either Savi's or Vincents hand- so they shifted a third, shifting a cup of water for Savi and handing it to him.

He hesitated, glancing at the door.

"I'm.. not as good with food-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He rolls his eyes at Quinn. Glancing worriedly at Rasine.*

I can quickly go get him something to eat.. If you're fine with me leaving for a couple minutes.

( @supervillain-offical probably got buried)

[supervillain-offical]

*nods*

Th-thanks.

*it’s unclear who he’s talking to*

(I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY!)

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

"Yeah, Vincent. Anything will do, Savi just needs energy." "And try not to move, dad. Tell me if there's any pain." With their free hand, they move the nearest chair (from behind them) next to the bed. Quinn gestures haphazardly to Rasine to sit near Savi if they want to.

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

( @supervillain-offical It's okay! Glad you're back :D )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine nods at Vincent.

"Alright- thank you-"

He hesitantly let go of Vincent's hand, then sat on the floor by the bed, holding Savi's hand still.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Mutters*

Wasn't talking to you.

Okay, I'll be back soon, Rasine.

*He quickly leaves the room.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*Savi watches Vincent go, then gives a quick nod to Quinn, squeezing Rasine’s hand slightly*

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

It's quiet for the tie Vincent is gone, and Quinn just stays in the same place, staring into nothing and lost in thought.

Sometimes their eyes land on Savi and Rasine's hands intertwined, most of the time they're not looking at anything in particular.

They keep healing. The wound gets/feels steadily better, like it's going through the natural healing process in a fraction of the time.

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine squeezed Savi's hand once in a while, looking at the door.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He gets back fairly quickly, holding a plate and a juice box with a death grip.*

*As he steps inside the room he takes a deep breath, exhaling slowly and relaxing a bit.*

*He walks over to the bedside, gently resting the plate, which has a grilled cheese, beside Savi. And quickly offers his hand to Rasine again, smiling slightly.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*Savi’s wound is mostly healing but the place where the bullet shot through doesn’t seem to go away, it just heals around it*

*Savi takes a breath, looking calmer*

*looks up to Quinn, teasing, hoping to calm them a bit*

Remem-remember when you used to help me all the time by turning me back into a half-demon? It’d always have those crazy side affects though.

Since you’ve been gone I’ve had to try to be more careful about turning into different types of food.

*looks gratefully to Vincent*

Th-thank you.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn quickly nods at Vincent in recognition of the food - it's actually the perfect type of meal for healing.

Quinn is more focused since the wound is different to normal human flesh wounds. It seems to be taking effort to heal it properly.

They almost get startled when Savi talks to them "Tch. yeah, I remember..."

"You missed me in the form of wacky transformations, huh?"

"I couldn't ask for anything better."

"Quick secret? I could've transformed you back perfectly every single time, but it made me laugh so hard I decided to chase the feeling."

They laugh, their hand moves as they do.

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine seemed half asleep, holding Savi's hand a bit tighter.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He smiles at Rasine.*

It's no problem, Sav.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

Hey! You-

*also laughs*

You humiliated me so much! It was hilarious.

*offers Vincent his hand and gives half-sleeping Rasine a quick kiss on the top of their head*

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn keeps smiling. "I didn't even know how to be a villain then. Still don't, really, but my recent jobs have been fun." They look back at the wound and try harder to heal it. "That feel okay?" (SORRY for the late reply) ( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[holyspiritoffical]

*A note appeared outside the nearest vent, very visible. It read*

I was asked by Rasine to convey the following:

'Savi's hurt. I don't know how long it will be before he's awake. He won't die. Please don't panic.'

Well-

*tries to quickly move the blanket above his bullet wound*

More or less-

But y-you don’t need to-

This isn’t Rasine’s fault, I can explain-

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn glances to Savi but keeps their grip on Rasine "WERE YOU THERE?! Who- what happened! ANSWER ME!"

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

*Hesitates for a moment but walks quickly over to them, stepping as between them as possible, looking at Quinn.*

*Loudly.*

Get away from him. I know you want to know what happened. But this isn't the way to do it.

Leave Rasine alone.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*firmly*

It was my fault, Quinn. I-I’m so sorry, but I’m the one who should be explaining, not Rasine.

*gently*

I’m alright. Now let them go.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn reluctantly let's go of Rasine but keeps the closeness and tone. They turn to Vincent, "Don't you tell me what to do, I'm defending my father!"

Then, pointing at Rasine, "for gods' sakes, I just KNEW there was something off about you"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine shrunk back, looking down, still shaking.

"I'm sorry-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

I don't give a fuck about you "defending your father".

Get away.

*He looks to Rasine for a moment, taking his hand gently and reassuringly.*

They have done absolutely nothing but help. You're the problem here.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*Savi is torn, not wanting to hurt either of them*

*sharply*

Quinn-

*inhales*

No one is the problem here and no one is at fault e-except me. There is nothing off about Rasine. I-I know you’re upset-

*takes a breath*

I-I shot myself, Quinn.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

They were about to defend themself against Vincent when Savi said that.

Their eyes widen and their anger seems to leave them, they lower their hand and take one small step away from Rasine, facing Savi.

They're silent for many moments.

"You... why would you... I thought..."

Quinn's fingertips glow slightly with faint yellow light, a subconscious trigger of their ability to heal.

"Why, Dad?" ( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine gently squeezed Vincent's hand, looking up at him, then over to Savi, avoiding looking back at Quinn. He took a breath, then moved closer to Vincent and gently squeezed his hand again.

[creative-name-offical]

Yeah if you're in pain we can get you more painkillers, Savi.

I’m healing as I’m supposed to so the pain doesn’t really bother me.

*smiles tiredly*

Thanks. To all of you.

[holyspiritoffical]

"How'd you get the gun?"

"I mean, I know you always have weapons, but someone must've known it was within reach while you were drunk."

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"..."

Rasine looked down again. It hadn't crossed his mind that the normal things Savi always carried with him could be dangerous while he was drunk. He hadn't thought to ask Savi to leave them behind. Not that it would've mattered. Cain had guns with it, and Lain probably had too. There were weapons around, even if Savi hadn't brought any.

I-

Y-yeah they-they didn’t even know I had been drinking as much as I had before that-

And I probably wouldn’t have let anyone take my gun-

But I’m alright, Quinn.

And nobody’s at fault but me.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

(to Vincent) "I DON'T CARE. This should never have happened." (to the room) "Can we all stop being so okay with the fact my dad could've killed himself? Please?" "And Savi, gods, stop saying that. You blame yourself too much."

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine was visibly trying not to cry, squeezing Vincent's hand again.

"Savi.. it wasn't your fault-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Then you should of stopped him yourself if you blame everyone so fucking much for letting this happen.

We are not okay with the fact he shot himself-

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*snaps*

Quinn! It’s nobody’s fault, I’m an adult, I’m responsible for my own decisions, nobody is okay with that but what’s done is done. Please, calm down. I understand you’re upset but you can’t go pinning it on my partners!

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

They're about to shout something back at Savi, but with a glance around the room they see everyone looking angry or upset or right at them. Quinn forces themself to calm their voice. It's strained. They focus on a spot on the ground. ... "...right."

"How can I help now?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"Thank you."

He looked to Savi, also wanting to know how he could help right now.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

"mhm..." They walk to Savi's side, their fingertips glowing even brighter now. Quinn pulls up a nearby chair and hovers their hand over Savi's chest. "Just guide it to where the wound is and breathe."

They glance at Savi reaching for Rasine's hand but don't say anything.

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine quickly took Savi's hand, squeezing it softly, also squeezing Vincent's hand. He smiled softly.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Quickly smiling back at Savi.*

*He was still watching Quinn, but was no longer glaring.*

*He gently smiles to Rasine.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*nods, takes a breath, slowly guides Quinn’s hand to the wound which is right through his heart*

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn winces as they feel it, but focuses and starts healing. At first, it hurts slightly for Savi, then the ache stops. Quinn sits down, still holding their hand there, and turns to Rasine and Vincent. Their voice is very deliberately monotone. "Savi's gonna need some more water and food if I'm healing him. If either of you could do that, please." The politeness is kind of sarcastic as much as they try not to be. ( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine didn't want to let go of either Savi's or Vincents hand- so they shifted a third, shifting a cup of water for Savi and handing it to him.

He hesitated, glancing at the door.

"I'm.. not as good with food-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He rolls his eyes at Quinn. Glancing worriedly at Rasine.*

I can quickly go get him something to eat.. If you're fine with me leaving for a couple minutes.

( @supervillain-offical probably got buried)

[supervillain-offical]

*nods*

Th-thanks.

*it’s unclear who he’s talking to*

(I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY!)

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

"Yeah, Vincent. Anything will do, Savi just needs energy." "And try not to move, dad. Tell me if there's any pain." With their free hand, they move the nearest chair (from behind them) next to the bed. Quinn gestures haphazardly to Rasine to sit near Savi if they want to.

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

( @supervillain-offical It's okay! Glad you're back :D )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine nods at Vincent.

"Alright- thank you-"

He hesitantly let go of Vincent's hand, then sat on the floor by the bed, holding Savi's hand still.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Mutters*

Wasn't talking to you.

Okay, I'll be back soon, Rasine.

*He quickly leaves the room.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*Savi watches Vincent go, then gives a quick nod to Quinn, squeezing Rasine’s hand slightly*

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

It's quiet for the tie Vincent is gone, and Quinn just stays in the same place, staring into nothing and lost in thought.

Sometimes their eyes land on Savi and Rasine's hands intertwined, most of the time they're not looking at anything in particular.

They keep healing. The wound gets/feels steadily better, like it's going through the natural healing process in a fraction of the time.

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine squeezed Savi's hand once in a while, looking at the door.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He gets back fairly quickly, holding a plate and a juice box with a death grip.*

*As he steps inside the room he takes a deep breath, exhaling slowly and relaxing a bit.*

*He walks over to the bedside, gently resting the plate, which has a grilled cheese, beside Savi. And quickly offers his hand to Rasine again, smiling slightly.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*Savi’s wound is mostly healing but the place where the bullet shot through doesn’t seem to go away, it just heals around it*

*Savi takes a breath, looking calmer*

*looks up to Quinn, teasing, hoping to calm them a bit*

Remem-remember when you used to help me all the time by turning me back into a half-demon? It’d always have those crazy side affects though.

Since you’ve been gone I’ve had to try to be more careful about turning into different types of food.

*looks gratefully to Vincent*

Th-thank you.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn quickly nods at Vincent in recognition of the food - it's actually the perfect type of meal for healing.

Quinn is more focused since the wound is different to normal human flesh wounds. It seems to be taking effort to heal it properly.

They almost get startled when Savi talks to them "Tch. yeah, I remember..."

"You missed me in the form of wacky transformations, huh?"

"I couldn't ask for anything better."

"Quick secret? I could've transformed you back perfectly every single time, but it made me laugh so hard I decided to chase the feeling."

They laugh, their hand moves as they do.

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[holyspiritoffical]

*A note appeared outside the nearest vent, very visible. It read*

I was asked by Rasine to convey the following:

'Savi's hurt. I don't know how long it will be before he's awake. He won't die. Please don't panic.'

The cobbled street Quinn loiters in is nearly flooded with earlier hour's rain, the water mirroring the low light of the streetlamps. The note is visible, but difficult to read in the dark. They focus hard, and slowly, the words come together.

They close their eyes, trying to sense anything, get information about anything, but their days of always knowing have been gone for a long time. And oh, they hate it. What they do know? someone hurt their dad. someone failed to protect their dad.

They move so fast it seems they vanish for a second. In little to no time, they're at the FUCS compound and absolutely furious. they definitely ignored the "Please don't panic" portion of the note, oh well. Quinn practically kicks the door down to Savi's room and charge in. They ignore the others in the room and make a beeline for Rasine, grabbing his collar harshly. "TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED."

@supervillains-assistant-offical

@creativer-name-offical @supervillain-offical

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

*Rasine looked up at Quinn- he had been sitting, sleeping, besides Savi's bed. They had been crying again in their sleep, silently. Their eyes went wide, and they quickly shifted a small blade on instinct, but made no move to use it. They didn't respond for a moment.*

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He had been sitting against the opposite wall from the bed, as he had come to do a lot, just staring at the floor infront of him.*

*He looks up as Quinn enters the room, freezing.*

*After a moment he stands up, shaking slightly, but he doesn't move or say anything.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*alarmed, gently*

Quinn, Quinn it-it’s okay-

I-I’m okay-

Well-

*tries to quickly move the blanket above his bullet wound*

More or less-

But y-you don’t need to-

This isn’t Rasine’s fault, I can explain-

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn glances to Savi but keeps their grip on Rasine "WERE YOU THERE?! Who- what happened! ANSWER ME!"

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"I was-

He-"

Rasine unmade the blade, shaking just slightly, but speaking.

"We went out to a bar. I messed up. I made Lain leave. That led to Cain leaving. I went after Lain. I should've been with Savi- I shouldn't have let him be left alone while drunk-"

He said it quietly, barely loud enough for Quinn to hear, making no move to get away from Quinn.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Hesitates for a moment but walks quickly over to them, stepping as between them as possible, looking at Quinn.*

*Loudly.*

Get away from him. I know you want to know what happened. But this isn't the way to do it.

Leave Rasine alone.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*firmly*

It was my fault, Quinn. I-I’m so sorry, but I’m the one who should be explaining, not Rasine.

*gently*

I’m alright. Now let them go.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn reluctantly let's go of Rasine but keeps the closeness and tone. They turn to Vincent, "Don't you tell me what to do, I'm defending my father!"

Then, pointing at Rasine, "for gods' sakes, I just KNEW there was something off about you"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine shrunk back, looking down, still shaking.

"I'm sorry-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

I don't give a fuck about you "defending your father".

Get away.

*He looks to Rasine for a moment, taking his hand gently and reassuringly.*

They have done absolutely nothing but help. You're the problem here.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*Savi is torn, not wanting to hurt either of them*

*sharply*

Quinn-

*inhales*

No one is the problem here and no one is at fault e-except me. There is nothing off about Rasine. I-I know you’re upset-

*takes a breath*

I-I shot myself, Quinn.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

They were about to defend themself against Vincent when Savi said that.

Their eyes widen and their anger seems to leave them, they lower their hand and take one small step away from Rasine, facing Savi.

They're silent for many moments.

"You... why would you... I thought..."

Quinn's fingertips glow slightly with faint yellow light, a subconscious trigger of their ability to heal.

"Why, Dad?" ( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine gently squeezed Vincent's hand, looking up at him, then over to Savi, avoiding looking back at Quinn. He took a breath, then moved closer to Vincent and gently squeezed his hand again.

"Thank you-" he muttered softly.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He doesn't say anything, just glaring at Quinn and gently squeezing Rasine's hand in acknowledgement.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

I-I-

*looks away, ashamed*

I was drunk. I…thought I was being abandoned by some of my friends, I got overwhelmed and I wasn’t thinking.

Rasine…Rasine was the one who brought me back. If it weren’t for him and Cain I’d still be bleeding out in a bar.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn sends a glare to Rasine as his name comes up, then turns back to Savi. Their trying not to cry, but they're actually doing well at it.

"I should've been here sooner."

"You've had painkillers or something? Has a doctor been? Gods, how are you even a-"

"I- how can I help?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine flinched at the glare, looking down but speaking softly.

"He's had painkillers. He's had someone look at him. He's supposedly healing as he should be."

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He moved slightly closer to Rasine, squeezing his hand again. Still glaring at Quinn.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

Quinn. I’ll be okay, now stop glaring at Rasine.

It’s because of him that someone’s looked at me, and that I’ve had painkillers.

Because I’m immortal, it can’t kill me, it’ll just take a bit to heal.

I’m sorry I worried you.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn mutters to themself, "supposedly?" after Rasine talks, still bitter.

"Yeah, yeah I get it, devil horns and that, but..."

They take a breath.

"Does it still hurt?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"If it does, I can get you more painkillers, Sav- I didn't want to give you the highest dose of everything I could all at once so I wouldn't leave you with nothing you could take later, otherwise I would've given you more already-"

He leaned slightly on Vincent, comforted with him here, being close.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Yeah if you're in pain we can get you more painkillers, Savi.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

It hurts a little, yeah, but I’m alright.

I’m healing as I’m supposed to so the pain doesn’t really bother me.

*smiles tiredly*

Thanks. To all of you.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

"How'd you get the gun?"

"I mean, I know you always have weapons, but someone must've known it was within reach while you were drunk."

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"..."

Rasine looked down again. It hadn't crossed his mind that the normal things Savi always carried with him could be dangerous while he was drunk. He hadn't thought to ask Savi to leave them behind. Not that it would've mattered. Cain had guns with it, and Lain probably had too. There were weapons around, even if Savi hadn't brought any.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Nobody thought he was gonna fucking shoot himself when they looked away. Nobody was planning on leaving him alone in the first place.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

I-

Y-yeah they-they didn’t even know I had been drinking as much as I had before that-

And I probably wouldn’t have let anyone take my gun-

But I’m alright, Quinn.

And nobody’s at fault but me.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

(to Vincent) "I DON'T CARE. This should never have happened." (to the room) "Can we all stop being so okay with the fact my dad could've killed himself? Please?" "And Savi, gods, stop saying that. You blame yourself too much."

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine was visibly trying not to cry, squeezing Vincent's hand again.

"Savi.. it wasn't your fault-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Then you should of stopped him yourself if you blame everyone so fucking much for letting this happen.

We are not okay with the fact he shot himself-

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*snaps*

Quinn! It’s nobody’s fault, I’m an adult, I’m responsible for my own decisions, nobody is okay with that but what’s done is done. Please, calm down. I understand you’re upset but you can’t go pinning it on my partners!

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

They're about to shout something back at Savi, but with a glance around the room they see everyone looking angry or upset or right at them. Quinn forces themself to calm their voice. It's strained. They focus on a spot on the ground. ... "...right."

"How can I help now?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine spoke quietly- it was unclear who he was speaking to, or if he was speaking to everyone.

"Thank you."

He looked to Savi, also wanting to know how he could help right now.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Mutters.*

Better.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*sighs and nods*

Thank you, Quinn. I-I mean-

I don’t know if your healing power would work on this wound but we could try? If you’d like?

*reaches for Rasine’s hand and smiles over at Vincent*

( @holyspiritoffical )

Then you should of stopped him yourself if you blame everyone so fucking much for letting this happen.

We are not okay with the fact he shot himself-

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*snaps*

Quinn! It’s nobody’s fault, I’m an adult, I’m responsible for my own decisions, nobody is okay with that but what’s done is done. Please, calm down. I understand you’re upset but you can’t go pinning it on my partners!

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

They're about to shout something back at Savi, but with a glance around the room they see everyone looking angry or upset or right at them. Quinn forces themself to calm their voice. It's strained. They focus on a spot on the ground. ... "...right."

"How can I help now?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine spoke quietly- it was unclear who he was speaking to, or if he was speaking to everyone.

"Thank you."

He looked to Savi, also wanting to know how he could help right now.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Mutters.*

Better.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*sighs and nods*

Thank you, Quinn. I-I mean-

I don’t know if your healing power would work on this wound but we could try? If you’d like?

*reaches for Rasine’s hand and smiles over at Vincent*

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

"mhm..." They walk to Savi's side, their fingertips glowing even brighter now. Quinn pulls up a nearby chair and hovers their hand over Savi's chest. "Just guide it to where the wound is and breathe."

They glance at Savi reaching for Rasine's hand but don't say anything.

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine quickly took Savi's hand, squeezing it softly, also squeezing Vincent's hand. He smiled softly.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Quickly smiling back at Savi.*

*He was still watching Quinn, but was no longer glaring.*

*He gently smiles to Rasine.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*nods, takes a breath, slowly guides Quinn’s hand to the wound which is right through his heart*

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn winces as they feel it, but focuses and starts healing. At first, it hurts slightly for Savi, then the ache stops. Quinn sits down, still holding their hand there, and turns to Rasine and Vincent. Their voice is very deliberately monotone. "Savi's gonna need some more water and food if I'm healing him. If either of you could do that, please." The politeness is kind of sarcastic as much as they try not to be. ( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine didn't want to let go of either Savi's or Vincents hand- so they shifted a third, shifting a cup of water for Savi and handing it to him.

He hesitated, glancing at the door.

"I'm.. not as good with food-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He rolls his eyes at Quinn. Glancing worriedly at Rasine.*

I can quickly go get him something to eat.. If you're fine with me leaving for a couple minutes.

( @supervillain-offical probably got buried)

[supervillain-offical]

*nods*

Th-thanks.

*it’s unclear who he’s talking to*

(I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY!)

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

"Yeah, Vincent. Anything will do, Savi just needs energy." "And try not to move, dad. Tell me if there's any pain." With their free hand, they move the nearest chair (from behind them) next to the bed. Quinn gestures haphazardly to Rasine to sit near Savi if they want to.

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

( @supervillain-offical It's okay! Glad you're back :D )

[holyspiritoffical]

*A note appeared outside the nearest vent, very visible. It read*

I was asked by Rasine to convey the following:

'Savi's hurt. I don't know how long it will be before he's awake. He won't die. Please don't panic.'

The cobbled street Quinn loiters in is nearly flooded with earlier hour's rain, the water mirroring the low light of the streetlamps. The note is visible, but difficult to read in the dark. They focus hard, and slowly, the words come together.

They close their eyes, trying to sense anything, get information about anything, but their days of always knowing have been gone for a long time. And oh, they hate it. What they do know? someone hurt their dad. someone failed to protect their dad.

They move so fast it seems they vanish for a second. In little to no time, they're at the FUCS compound and absolutely furious. they definitely ignored the "Please don't panic" portion of the note, oh well. Quinn practically kicks the door down to Savi's room and charge in. They ignore the others in the room and make a beeline for Rasine, grabbing his collar harshly. "TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED."

@supervillains-assistant-offical

@creativer-name-offical @supervillain-offical

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

*Rasine looked up at Quinn- he had been sitting, sleeping, besides Savi's bed. They had been crying again in their sleep, silently. Their eyes went wide, and they quickly shifted a small blade on instinct, but made no move to use it. They didn't respond for a moment.*

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He had been sitting against the opposite wall from the bed, as he had come to do a lot, just staring at the floor infront of him.*

*He looks up as Quinn enters the room, freezing.*

*After a moment he stands up, shaking slightly, but he doesn't move or say anything.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*alarmed, gently*

Quinn, Quinn it-it’s okay-

I-I’m okay-

Well-

*tries to quickly move the blanket above his bullet wound*

More or less-

But y-you don’t need to-

This isn’t Rasine’s fault, I can explain-

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn glances to Savi but keeps their grip on Rasine "WERE YOU THERE?! Who- what happened! ANSWER ME!"

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"I was-

He-"

Rasine unmade the blade, shaking just slightly, but speaking.

"We went out to a bar. I messed up. I made Lain leave. That led to Cain leaving. I went after Lain. I should've been with Savi- I shouldn't have let him be left alone while drunk-"

He said it quietly, barely loud enough for Quinn to hear, making no move to get away from Quinn.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Hesitates for a moment but walks quickly over to them, stepping as between them as possible, looking at Quinn.*

*Loudly.*

Get away from him. I know you want to know what happened. But this isn't the way to do it.

Leave Rasine alone.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*firmly*

It was my fault, Quinn. I-I’m so sorry, but I’m the one who should be explaining, not Rasine.

*gently*

I’m alright. Now let them go.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn reluctantly let's go of Rasine but keeps the closeness and tone. They turn to Vincent, "Don't you tell me what to do, I'm defending my father!"

Then, pointing at Rasine, "for gods' sakes, I just KNEW there was something off about you"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine shrunk back, looking down, still shaking.

"I'm sorry-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

I don't give a fuck about you "defending your father".

Get away.

*He looks to Rasine for a moment, taking his hand gently and reassuringly.*

They have done absolutely nothing but help. You're the problem here.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*Savi is torn, not wanting to hurt either of them*

*sharply*

Quinn-

*inhales*

No one is the problem here and no one is at fault e-except me. There is nothing off about Rasine. I-I know you’re upset-

*takes a breath*

I-I shot myself, Quinn.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

They were about to defend themself against Vincent when Savi said that.

Their eyes widen and their anger seems to leave them, they lower their hand and take one small step away from Rasine, facing Savi.

They're silent for many moments.

"You... why would you... I thought..."

Quinn's fingertips glow slightly with faint yellow light, a subconscious trigger of their ability to heal.

"Why, Dad?" ( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine gently squeezed Vincent's hand, looking up at him, then over to Savi, avoiding looking back at Quinn. He took a breath, then moved closer to Vincent and gently squeezed his hand again.

"Thank you-" he muttered softly.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He doesn't say anything, just glaring at Quinn and gently squeezing Rasine's hand in acknowledgement.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

I-I-

*looks away, ashamed*

I was drunk. I…thought I was being abandoned by some of my friends, I got overwhelmed and I wasn’t thinking.

Rasine…Rasine was the one who brought me back. If it weren’t for him and Cain I’d still be bleeding out in a bar.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn sends a glare to Rasine as his name comes up, then turns back to Savi. Their trying not to cry, but they're actually doing well at it.

"I should've been here sooner."

"You've had painkillers or something? Has a doctor been? Gods, how are you even a-"

"I- how can I help?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine flinched at the glare, looking down but speaking softly.

"He's had painkillers. He's had someone look at him. He's supposedly healing as he should be."

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He moved slightly closer to Rasine, squeezing his hand again. Still glaring at Quinn.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

Quinn. I’ll be okay, now stop glaring at Rasine.

It’s because of him that someone’s looked at me, and that I’ve had painkillers.

Because I’m immortal, it can’t kill me, it’ll just take a bit to heal.

I’m sorry I worried you.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn mutters to themself, "supposedly?" after Rasine talks, still bitter.

"Yeah, yeah I get it, devil horns and that, but..."

They take a breath.

"Does it still hurt?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"If it does, I can get you more painkillers, Sav- I didn't want to give you the highest dose of everything I could all at once so I wouldn't leave you with nothing you could take later, otherwise I would've given you more already-"

He leaned slightly on Vincent, comforted with him here, being close.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Yeah if you're in pain we can get you more painkillers, Savi.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

It hurts a little, yeah, but I’m alright.

I’m healing as I’m supposed to so the pain doesn’t really bother me.

*smiles tiredly*

Thanks. To all of you.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

"How'd you get the gun?"

"I mean, I know you always have weapons, but someone must've known it was within reach while you were drunk."

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"..."

Rasine looked down again. It hadn't crossed his mind that the normal things Savi always carried with him could be dangerous while he was drunk. He hadn't thought to ask Savi to leave them behind. Not that it would've mattered. Cain had guns with it, and Lain probably had too. There were weapons around, even if Savi hadn't brought any.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Nobody thought he was gonna fucking shoot himself when they looked away. Nobody was planning on leaving him alone in the first place.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

I-

Y-yeah they-they didn’t even know I had been drinking as much as I had before that-

And I probably wouldn’t have let anyone take my gun-

But I’m alright, Quinn.

And nobody’s at fault but me.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

(to Vincent) "I DON'T CARE. This should never have happened." (to the room) "Can we all stop being so okay with the fact my dad could've killed himself? Please?" "And Savi, gods, stop saying that. You blame yourself too much."

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine was visibly trying not to cry, squeezing Vincent's hand again.

"Savi.. it wasn't your fault-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Then you should of stopped him yourself if you blame everyone so fucking much for letting this happen.

We are not okay with the fact he shot himself-

( @supervillain-offical )

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

They're about to shout something back at Savi, but with a glance around the room they see everyone looking angry or upset or right at them. Quinn forces themself to calm their voice. It's strained. They focus on a spot on the ground. ... "...right."

"How can I help now?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine spoke quietly- it was unclear who he was speaking to, or if he was speaking to everyone.

"Thank you."

He looked to Savi, also wanting to know how he could help right now.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Mutters.*

Better.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*sighs and nods*

Thank you, Quinn. I-I mean-

I don’t know if your healing power would work on this wound but we could try? If you’d like?

*reaches for Rasine’s hand and smiles over at Vincent*

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

"mhm..." They walk to Savi's side, their fingertips glowing even brighter now. Quinn pulls up a nearby chair and hovers their hand over Savi's chest. "Just guide it to where the wound is and breathe."

They glance at Savi reaching for Rasine's hand but don't say anything.

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[holyspiritoffical]

*Macey is out walking in the city when she spots Quinn-something about them is familiar to him and they subtly view Quinn’s recent memories to realize who they are-she stops and turns back*

*walks over*

Oh-

You’re Savi’s child, aren’t you?

- @backstory-character-offical

Quinn turns around quick, startled. "Hello- uh, how do you know about that?" This kind of thing happens with FUCS members, since Quinn regrettably isn't around all the time. They're relatively calm, assuming this is an ally. "Did he send you?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*smiles then looks sad*

No…I…haven’t been able to see him in a while…

You looked familiar to me, and now I know why-

*tilts head*

My name’s Macey, I’d be surprised if he’s mentioned me.

[holyspiritoffical]

"You're... uh... you're Macey?"

"He has mentioned you. briefly. i- uh, honestly don't even remember a lot of what he said, hah."

[backstory-character-offical]

Mhm!

It makes sense he wouldn’t talk about me much-

*looks down*

And probably not in the best light…

[holyspiritoffical]

"Well, let's hear your story, then."

Quinn gestures to a nearby diner with a soft smile.

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey looks genuinely surprised*

Really? That’d be lovely!

*giggles*

I’ll pay.

[holyspiritoffical]

"I'm good with that." They both go inside and sit down. Quinn gets an ice tea first thing.

"so, how do you see... everything...?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey gets a cappuccino and looks down*

The goddess who enslaved me for years and ordered the killing of my family.

When Savi and I killed her, she put her powers into me knowing there was a high likelihood they would destroy me or that Savi would turn against me because of it. But here I am! God of time and space now. And she’s gone. So.

Yeah, that’s how!

[holyspiritoffical]

"Sounds... like lot's of fun now you're okay." "And your perspective? On your history with my dad...?"

[backstory-character-offical]

It’s hard sometimes because of the memories I have associated with it, but I’m learning to enjoy it!

*tightens a bit but nods*

Right…okay…

Savi led a raid on my village when I was fifteen years old. His forces set fire to my home and killed my parents and sisters. I got home from school to find the house…and they…

*looks lost in the memory for a moment before shaking head*

Savi didn’t want me dead for some reason so he pretended I was eighteen and forced me to join Ora’s army.

Ora…the goddess…she hated me for bringing out a human aspect of Savi. So she used me as her torture subject for years. Thus-

*gestures to the deep scars on their lips*

I try to hide most of the scars. Unfortunately even being a god I can’t get rid of them.

I loathed Savi for what he did to me, but when our mutual friend Brune was murdered by Ora to keep Savi in line, we formed an alliance to get revenge.

After killing Ora…I got her powers…and Savi turned to a former enemy of his in order to imprison me outside of time and space because he couldn’t trust that all I wanted to do was leave all of that behind. He thought I’d chosen to get Ora’s powers.

Well, fast forward three years, I got free. And I wanted revenge so badly. So I teamed up with the one being I deemed Savi hated the most-the Agent-

*pauses, looking concerned*

There’s more but…this isn’t too much for you, is it? You’re just a kid?

[holyspiritoffical]

"Yeah. That's about the same to what he said. Though, there was more regret on his part. More believing he'd made a mistake. And no, it's not too much for me. I may be in a crap, hormonal, teen body but I've lived longer than you can believe. If only I'd remember the time before this body, heh."

Quinn, in an attempt to soothe Macey, is sat really casually and smiling. @backstory-character-offical

[backstory-character-offical]

*giggles*

I believe you! I get it-I’m nineteen but also became somehow as old as my powers when I got them. It’s…strange.

*nods*

He did regret it…

*relaxes a bit*

He and I have reconciled since…

But at the time I just needed to get back at him. I didn’t trust the Agent or agree with the way he hurt people, hurt me, but…then he started being nice to me, protective, parental, saying I’d always have a home with him if I helped him. And I started to realize that I was never going to be able to live a normal life…nobody had been kind to me like that for years…so I agreed to stay with him.

Then Ora possessed me, Savi and the Agent worked together to get rid of her. During this time, the Agent got his emotions back and really, truly loved me like a dad. He reconciled with Savi. And we were happy. The happiest I’d been.

But someone impersonated me and made the Agent think I was abandoning him…

*purses lips and looks away*

So he got rid of his emotions again…and…when I came back he told me that I was a waste of space and had to prove I was loyal to him-

He made me kill illusions of my family-

Then he acted like he love me again-

But he killed Savi’s sister in front of me after he tried to get me to.

Savi took me back to the lair where I sought refuge for a while, but then…but then the Agent threatened Savi’s sibling-in-law so I had to go back to him and…prove myself again.

But Ora returned to life and he protected me from her! He does care about me! He said so!

*looks away*

It’s just…twisted.

And I have to make sure I stay useful to him…

*closes eyes briefly before looking back to Quinn lightly*

Sorry for dumping all that on you! That’s…all for the most part!

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn listens intently

"it's... it's okay."

"Yknow... me and the agent have some past too."

"He tried to, uh, torture me into being his... apprentice. he saved me from torture once.

but it's not saving if he's doing it to keep control of you, Macey.

There are people out there that actually would help, given the chance. protect you, give you a good life, stay by your side.

people who know the agent is hurting you."

Quinn smiles again.

"you don't gotta be useful to be valuable to someone, y'know?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*looks away*

Yeah…he…did mention you once.

But it’s not like that-he’ll keep me around if I’m not useful, he’ll just try to force me to be more useful. He…wouldn’t let me leave even if I wanted to, so…y’know…

*shakes head*

Don’t worry about me.

[holyspiritoffical]

"It just... doesn't feel like you're safe there."

Inbetween talking, Quinn orders another ice tea.

"He's not really the type for fatherly love. And we've beat him before, even I escaped and I was an emotional klutz."

[backstory-character-offical]

I…I’ll be okay, don’t worry about me. He is sometimes, and I promised him I wouldn’t leave-

He’s terrified of being alone, and if he were alone I think he’d make all of your lives a whole lot more miserable. So don’t worry for me, I can handle it…

[holyspiritoffical]

"Why should you care about his fear?" "You're having to reassure me you're safe while defending someone who's 'sometimes' loving? In what world is that supposed to make me not worry?" Quinn sighs, "you're more stubborn than I thought you'd be."

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey falters for a slight second then sighs and smiles*

I know…it’s bad…but it’s my situation and I can’t get out of it so I might as well come to terms with it.

[holyspiritoffical]

"You can't get out of it, no. Not by yourself."

Quinn grabs a nearby napkin and a pen from their pocket. They speak as they write.

"If you're in that place, and you finally realise you need help, call this."

They hand over the napkin, their number in messy handwriting on it.

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey looks down at it, concealing a smile*

Thank you. I appreciate it. You’re really kind.

[holyspiritoffical]

"If... um... if it's at the right time, I could even come to the agency to help you sneak out or something." "and I'm not kind, just... everyone deserves help if they need it."

[backstory-character-offical]

*looks up again*

Thanks…I’ll keep that in mind…

*folds the napkin neatly up and puts it in their pocket*

*tilts head*

You are kind. Savi’s lucky to have a kid like you.

[holyspiritoffical]

"I... I'm more lucky to have him. I wish I could do more to help. to protect him, y'know?" "sorry, hah. I don't mean to be cliché"

( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

(Thanks for tagging me!)

*Macey shakes their head*

That’s not cliche at all! But you don’t need to worry yourself, your dad can look after himself

…

For the most part.

[holyspiritoffical]

"yeah, I mean... I f-feel like I'm crowding him most of the time, like he'll stop wanting me around if I'm always begging for- for his time. I'm worried I'll fade out the picture if I'm not with him..." "The worry's gotten better, since knowing he's- uh- immortal, but I've still known other i-immortal people that got ripped away from me, so that means he could still b-be- and-"

...

"I'm sorry, side-tracked. I don't mean to make any of this about myself."

( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

No, no, don’t apologize! That sounds really hard and I can…kinda relate.

[holyspiritoffical]

"Oh thank gods, I sound crazy to most people."

Quinn props their feet up on the booth chair opposite them, next to and not touching Macey but still relaxed.

"It's strange, immortal doesn't mean always around. it just means always alive."

"You know all about that, then?"

( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

*quietly*

It doesn’t sound crazy to me at all.

*looks up, surprised and curious*

Know all about what?

[holyspiritoffical]

"Being friends with immortals. Fear of loosing people, things not turning out how you expected." "you can relate?" ( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

Ha, yeah-

*looks down*

Very much so.

[holyspiritoffical]

"...sorry, you don't gotta talk about it. Just keep that number safe for when you're ready. And after you finish that coffee, I can pay."

[backstory-character-offical]

*looks back up*

Oh no, you don’t need to pay! I can pay!

[holyspiritoffical]

"Your sure? I just got a lot, so it's really not a problem for me."

"Thank you, though."

[backstory-character-offical]

Money’s one thing I do have abundance of. I’m sure.

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn laughs lightly "Alright then, go ahead." They're genuinely smiling

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey giggles and then pays when the server comes over again*

Thanks!

[holyspiritoffical]

"Heh. you are not what I thought you'd be like." Quinn stands and stretches, and funnily the pockets in their jacket audible jingle when they do.

[backstory-character-offical]

*smiles, raises an eyebrow*

Really? What’d you think I’d be like?

[holyspiritoffical]

"mm... more guarded. More hidden away." "I definitely didn't picture me and the one I was warned about in a diner. Maybe you planned this, but I don't think I mind."

[backstory-character-offical]

*frowns*

*quietly*

He warned you about me?

And…

*smiles*

I didn’t intend to meet you today, but I’m glad I did!

[holyspiritoffical]

"yeah... I... it doesn't matter." "I'm glad too. I lost track of time so much I'm almost late for a job."

[backstory-character-offical]

Oh-

Well good luck with that then!

[holyspiritoffical]

"Thank you!" Quinn offers a handshake at the door, smiling

[backstory-character-offical]

*hesitates then takes their hand*

Of course!

[holyspiritoffical]

The next time Macey blinks, Quinn seems to have vanished entirely, soundlessly.

[holyspiritoffical]

*Macey is out walking in the city when she spots Quinn-something about them is familiar to him and they subtly view Quinn’s recent memories to realize who they are-she stops and turns back*

*walks over*

Oh-

You’re Savi’s child, aren’t you?

- @backstory-character-offical

Quinn turns around quick, startled. "Hello- uh, how do you know about that?" This kind of thing happens with FUCS members, since Quinn regrettably isn't around all the time. They're relatively calm, assuming this is an ally. "Did he send you?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*smiles then looks sad*

No…I…haven’t been able to see him in a while…

You looked familiar to me, and now I know why-

*tilts head*

My name’s Macey, I’d be surprised if he’s mentioned me.

[holyspiritoffical]

"You're... uh... you're Macey?"

"He has mentioned you. briefly. i- uh, honestly don't even remember a lot of what he said, hah."

[backstory-character-offical]

Mhm!

It makes sense he wouldn’t talk about me much-

*looks down*

And probably not in the best light…

[holyspiritoffical]

"Well, let's hear your story, then."

Quinn gestures to a nearby diner with a soft smile.

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey looks genuinely surprised*

Really? That’d be lovely!

*giggles*

I’ll pay.

[holyspiritoffical]

"I'm good with that." They both go inside and sit down. Quinn gets an ice tea first thing.

"so, how do you see... everything...?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey gets a cappuccino and looks down*

Oh-

Well good luck with that then!

[holyspiritoffical]

"Thank you!" Quinn offers a handshake at the door, smiling

[holyspiritoffical]

*A note appeared outside the nearest vent, very visible. It read*

I was asked by Rasine to convey the following:

'Savi's hurt. I don't know how long it will be before he's awake. He won't die. Please don't panic.'

The cobbled street Quinn loiters in is nearly flooded with earlier hour's rain, the water mirroring the low light of the streetlamps. The note is visible, but difficult to read in the dark. They focus hard, and slowly, the words come together.

They close their eyes, trying to sense anything, get information about anything, but their days of always knowing have been gone for a long time. And oh, they hate it. What they do know? someone hurt their dad. someone failed to protect their dad.

They move so fast it seems they vanish for a second. In little to no time, they're at the FUCS compound and absolutely furious. they definitely ignored the "Please don't panic" portion of the note, oh well. Quinn practically kicks the door down to Savi's room and charge in. They ignore the others in the room and make a beeline for Rasine, grabbing his collar harshly. "TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED."

@supervillains-assistant-offical

@creativer-name-offical @supervillain-offical

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

*Rasine looked up at Quinn- he had been sitting, sleeping, besides Savi's bed. They had been crying again in their sleep, silently. Their eyes went wide, and they quickly shifted a small blade on instinct, but made no move to use it. They didn't respond for a moment.*

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He had been sitting against the opposite wall from the bed, as he had come to do a lot, just staring at the floor infront of him.*

*He looks up as Quinn enters the room, freezing.*

*After a moment he stands up, shaking slightly, but he doesn't move or say anything.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*alarmed, gently*

Quinn, Quinn it-it’s okay-

I-I’m okay-

Well-

*tries to quickly move the blanket above his bullet wound*

More or less-

But y-you don’t need to-

This isn’t Rasine’s fault, I can explain-

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn glances to Savi but keeps their grip on Rasine "WERE YOU THERE?! Who- what happened! ANSWER ME!"

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"I was-

He-"

Rasine unmade the blade, shaking just slightly, but speaking.

"We went out to a bar. I messed up. I made Lain leave. That led to Cain leaving. I went after Lain. I should've been with Savi- I shouldn't have let him be left alone while drunk-"

He said it quietly, barely loud enough for Quinn to hear, making no move to get away from Quinn.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Hesitates for a moment but walks quickly over to them, stepping as between them as possible, looking at Quinn.*

*Loudly.*

Get away from him. I know you want to know what happened. But this isn't the way to do it.

Leave Rasine alone.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*firmly*

It was my fault, Quinn. I-I’m so sorry, but I’m the one who should be explaining, not Rasine.

*gently*

I’m alright. Now let them go.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn reluctantly let's go of Rasine but keeps the closeness and tone. They turn to Vincent, "Don't you tell me what to do, I'm defending my father!"

Then, pointing at Rasine, "for gods' sakes, I just KNEW there was something off about you"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine shrunk back, looking down, still shaking.

"I'm sorry-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

I don't give a fuck about you "defending your father".

Get away.

*He looks to Rasine for a moment, taking his hand gently and reassuringly.*

They have done absolutely nothing but help. You're the problem here.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*Savi is torn, not wanting to hurt either of them*

*sharply*

Quinn-

*inhales*

No one is the problem here and no one is at fault e-except me. There is nothing off about Rasine. I-I know you’re upset-

*takes a breath*

I-I shot myself, Quinn.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

They were about to defend themself against Vincent when Savi said that.

Their eyes widen and their anger seems to leave them, they lower their hand and take one small step away from Rasine, facing Savi.

They're silent for many moments.

"You... why would you... I thought..."

Quinn's fingertips glow slightly with faint yellow light, a subconscious trigger of their ability to heal.

"Why, Dad?" ( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine gently squeezed Vincent's hand, looking up at him, then over to Savi, avoiding looking back at Quinn. He took a breath, then moved closer to Vincent and gently squeezed his hand again.

"Thank you-" he muttered softly.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He doesn't say anything, just glaring at Quinn and gently squeezing Rasine's hand in acknowledgement.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

I-I-

*looks away, ashamed*

I was drunk. I…thought I was being abandoned by some of my friends, I got overwhelmed and I wasn’t thinking.

Rasine…Rasine was the one who brought me back. If it weren’t for him and Cain I’d still be bleeding out in a bar.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn sends a glare to Rasine as his name comes up, then turns back to Savi. Their trying not to cry, but they're actually doing well at it.

"I should've been here sooner."

"You've had painkillers or something? Has a doctor been? Gods, how are you even a-"

"I- how can I help?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine flinched at the glare, looking down but speaking softly.

"He's had painkillers. He's had someone look at him. He's supposedly healing as he should be."

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He moved slightly closer to Rasine, squeezing his hand again. Still glaring at Quinn.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

Quinn. I’ll be okay, now stop glaring at Rasine.

It’s because of him that someone’s looked at me, and that I’ve had painkillers.

Because I’m immortal, it can’t kill me, it’ll just take a bit to heal.

I’m sorry I worried you.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn mutters to themself, "supposedly?" after Rasine talks, still bitter.

"Yeah, yeah I get it, devil horns and that, but..."

They take a breath.

"Does it still hurt?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"If it does, I can get you more painkillers, Sav- I didn't want to give you the highest dose of everything I could all at once so I wouldn't leave you with nothing you could take later, otherwise I would've given you more already-"

He leaned slightly on Vincent, comforted with him here, being close.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Yeah if you're in pain we can get you more painkillers, Savi.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

It hurts a little, yeah, but I’m alright.

I’m healing as I’m supposed to so the pain doesn’t really bother me.

*smiles tiredly*

Thanks. To all of you.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

"How'd you get the gun?"

"I mean, I know you always have weapons, but someone must've known it was within reach while you were drunk."

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"..."

Rasine looked down again. It hadn't crossed his mind that the normal things Savi always carried with him could be dangerous while he was drunk. He hadn't thought to ask Savi to leave them behind. Not that it would've mattered. Cain had guns with it, and Lain probably had too. There were weapons around, even if Savi hadn't brought any.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Nobody thought he was gonna fucking shoot himself when they looked away. Nobody was planning on leaving him alone in the first place.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

I-

Y-yeah they-they didn’t even know I had been drinking as much as I had before that-

And I probably wouldn’t have let anyone take my gun-

But I’m alright, Quinn.

And nobody’s at fault but me.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

(to Vincent) "I DON'T CARE. This should never have happened." (to the room) "Can we all stop being so okay with the fact my dad could've killed himself? Please?" "And Savi, gods, stop saying that. You blame yourself too much."

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine was visibly trying not to cry, squeezing Vincent's hand again.

"Savi.. it wasn't your fault-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Then you should of stopped him yourself if you blame everyone so fucking much for letting this happen.

We are not okay with the fact he shot himself-

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*snaps*

Quinn! It’s nobody’s fault, I’m an adult, I’m responsible for my own decisions, nobody is okay with that but what’s done is done. Please, calm down. I understand you’re upset but you can’t go pinning it on my partners!

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

They're about to shout something back at Savi, but with a glance around the room they see everyone looking angry or upset or right at them. Quinn forces themself to calm their voice. It's strained. They focus on a spot on the ground. ... "...right."

"How can I help now?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[holyspiritoffical]

*Macey is out walking in the city when she spots Quinn-something about them is familiar to him and they subtly view Quinn’s recent memories to realize who they are-she stops and turns back*

*walks over*

Oh-

You’re Savi’s child, aren’t you?

- @backstory-character-offical

Quinn turns around quick, startled. "Hello- uh, how do you know about that?" This kind of thing happens with FUCS members, since Quinn regrettably isn't around all the time. They're relatively calm, assuming this is an ally. "Did he send you?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*smiles then looks sad*

No…I…haven’t been able to see him in a while…

You looked familiar to me, and now I know why-

*tilts head*

My name’s Macey, I’d be surprised if he’s mentioned me.

[holyspiritoffical]

"You're... uh... you're Macey?"

"He has mentioned you. briefly. i- uh, honestly don't even remember a lot of what he said, hah."

[backstory-character-offical]

Mhm!

It makes sense he wouldn’t talk about me much-

*looks down*

And probably not in the best light…

[holyspiritoffical]

"Well, let's hear your story, then."

Quinn gestures to a nearby diner with a soft smile.

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey looks genuinely surprised*

Really? That’d be lovely!

*giggles*

I’ll pay.

[holyspiritoffical]

"I'm good with that." They both go inside and sit down. Quinn gets an ice tea first thing.

"so, how do you see... everything...?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey gets a cappuccino and looks down*

The goddess who enslaved me for years and ordered the killing of my family.

When Savi and I killed her, she put her powers into me knowing there was a high likelihood they would destroy me or that Savi would turn against me because of it. But here I am! God of time and space now. And she’s gone. So.

Yeah, that’s how!

[holyspiritoffical]

"Sounds... like lot's of fun now you're okay." "And your perspective? On your history with my dad...?"

[backstory-character-offical]

It’s hard sometimes because of the memories I have associated with it, but I’m learning to enjoy it!

*tightens a bit but nods*

Right…okay…

Savi led a raid on my village when I was fifteen years old. His forces set fire to my home and killed my parents and sisters. I got home from school to find the house…and they…

*looks lost in the memory for a moment before shaking head*

Savi didn’t want me dead for some reason so he pretended I was eighteen and forced me to join Ora’s army.

Ora…the goddess…she hated me for bringing out a human aspect of Savi. So she used me as her torture subject for years. Thus-

*gestures to the deep scars on their lips*

I try to hide most of the scars. Unfortunately even being a god I can’t get rid of them.

I loathed Savi for what he did to me, but when our mutual friend Brune was murdered by Ora to keep Savi in line, we formed an alliance to get revenge.

After killing Ora…I got her powers…and Savi turned to a former enemy of his in order to imprison me outside of time and space because he couldn’t trust that all I wanted to do was leave all of that behind. He thought I’d chosen to get Ora’s powers.

Well, fast forward three years, I got free. And I wanted revenge so badly. So I teamed up with the one being I deemed Savi hated the most-the Agent-

*pauses, looking concerned*

There’s more but…this isn’t too much for you, is it? You’re just a kid?

[holyspiritoffical]

"Yeah. That's about the same to what he said. Though, there was more regret on his part. More believing he'd made a mistake. And no, it's not too much for me. I may be in a crap, hormonal, teen body but I've lived longer than you can believe. If only I'd remember the time before this body, heh."

Quinn, in an attempt to soothe Macey, is sat really casually and smiling. @backstory-character-offical

[backstory-character-offical]

*giggles*

I believe you! I get it-I’m nineteen but also became somehow as old as my powers when I got them. It’s…strange.

*nods*

He did regret it…

*relaxes a bit*

He and I have reconciled since…

But at the time I just needed to get back at him. I didn’t trust the Agent or agree with the way he hurt people, hurt me, but…then he started being nice to me, protective, parental, saying I’d always have a home with him if I helped him. And I started to realize that I was never going to be able to live a normal life…nobody had been kind to me like that for years…so I agreed to stay with him.

Then Ora possessed me, Savi and the Agent worked together to get rid of her. During this time, the Agent got his emotions back and really, truly loved me like a dad. He reconciled with Savi. And we were happy. The happiest I’d been.

But someone impersonated me and made the Agent think I was abandoning him…

*purses lips and looks away*

So he got rid of his emotions again…and…when I came back he told me that I was a waste of space and had to prove I was loyal to him-

He made me kill illusions of my family-

Then he acted like he love me again-

But he killed Savi’s sister in front of me after he tried to get me to.

Savi took me back to the lair where I sought refuge for a while, but then…but then the Agent threatened Savi’s sibling-in-law so I had to go back to him and…prove myself again.

But Ora returned to life and he protected me from her! He does care about me! He said so!

*looks away*

It’s just…twisted.

And I have to make sure I stay useful to him…

*closes eyes briefly before looking back to Quinn lightly*

Sorry for dumping all that on you! That’s…all for the most part!

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn listens intently

"it's... it's okay."

"Yknow... me and the agent have some past too."

"He tried to, uh, torture me into being his... apprentice. he saved me from torture once.

but it's not saving if he's doing it to keep control of you, Macey.

There are people out there that actually would help, given the chance. protect you, give you a good life, stay by your side.

people who know the agent is hurting you."

Quinn smiles again.

"you don't gotta be useful to be valuable to someone, y'know?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*looks away*

Yeah…he…did mention you once.

But it’s not like that-he’ll keep me around if I’m not useful, he’ll just try to force me to be more useful. He…wouldn’t let me leave even if I wanted to, so…y’know…

*shakes head*

Don’t worry about me.

[holyspiritoffical]

"It just... doesn't feel like you're safe there."

Inbetween talking, Quinn orders another ice tea.

"He's not really the type for fatherly love. And we've beat him before, even I escaped and I was an emotional klutz."

[backstory-character-offical]

I…I’ll be okay, don’t worry about me. He is sometimes, and I promised him I wouldn’t leave-

He’s terrified of being alone, and if he were alone I think he’d make all of your lives a whole lot more miserable. So don’t worry for me, I can handle it…

[holyspiritoffical]

"Why should you care about his fear?" "You're having to reassure me you're safe while defending someone who's 'sometimes' loving? In what world is that supposed to make me not worry?" Quinn sighs, "you're more stubborn than I thought you'd be."

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey falters for a slight second then sighs and smiles*

I know…it’s bad…but it’s my situation and I can’t get out of it so I might as well come to terms with it.

[holyspiritoffical]

"You can't get out of it, no. Not by yourself."

Quinn grabs a nearby napkin and a pen from their pocket. They speak as they write.

"If you're in that place, and you finally realise you need help, call this."

They hand over the napkin, their number in messy handwriting on it.

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey looks down at it, concealing a smile*

Thank you. I appreciate it. You’re really kind.

[holyspiritoffical]

"If... um... if it's at the right time, I could even come to the agency to help you sneak out or something." "and I'm not kind, just... everyone deserves help if they need it."

[backstory-character-offical]

*looks up again*

Thanks…I’ll keep that in mind…

*folds the napkin neatly up and puts it in their pocket*

*tilts head*

You are kind. Savi’s lucky to have a kid like you.

[holyspiritoffical]

"I... I'm more lucky to have him. I wish I could do more to help. to protect him, y'know?" "sorry, hah. I don't mean to be cliché"

( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

(Thanks for tagging me!)

*Macey shakes their head*

That’s not cliche at all! But you don’t need to worry yourself, your dad can look after himself

…

For the most part.

[holyspiritoffical]

"yeah, I mean... I f-feel like I'm crowding him most of the time, like he'll stop wanting me around if I'm always begging for- for his time. I'm worried I'll fade out the picture if I'm not with him..." "The worry's gotten better, since knowing he's- uh- immortal, but I've still known other i-immortal people that got ripped away from me, so that means he could still b-be- and-"

...

"I'm sorry, side-tracked. I don't mean to make any of this about myself."

( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

No, no, don’t apologize! That sounds really hard and I can…kinda relate.

[holyspiritoffical]

"Oh thank gods, I sound crazy to most people."

Quinn props their feet up on the booth chair opposite them, next to and not touching Macey but still relaxed.

"It's strange, immortal doesn't mean always around. it just means always alive."

"You know all about that, then?"

( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

*quietly*

It doesn’t sound crazy to me at all.

*looks up, surprised and curious*

Know all about what?

[holyspiritoffical]

"Being friends with immortals. Fear of loosing people, things not turning out how you expected." "you can relate?" ( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

Ha, yeah-

*looks down*

Very much so.

[holyspiritoffical]

"...sorry, you don't gotta talk about it. Just keep that number safe for when you're ready. And after you finish that coffee, I can pay."

[backstory-character-offical]

*looks back up*

Oh no, you don’t need to pay! I can pay!

[holyspiritoffical]

"Your sure? I just got a lot, so it's really not a problem for me."

"Thank you, though."

[backstory-character-offical]

Money’s one thing I do have abundance of. I’m sure.

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn laughs lightly "Alright then, go ahead." They're genuinely smiling

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey giggles and then pays when the server comes over again*

Thanks!

[holyspiritoffical]

"Heh. you are not what I thought you'd be like." Quinn stands and stretches, and funnily the pockets in their jacket audible jingle when they do.

[backstory-character-offical]

*smiles, raises an eyebrow*

Really? What’d you think I’d be like?

[holyspiritoffical]

"mm... more guarded. More hidden away." "I definitely didn't picture me and the one I was warned about in a diner. Maybe you planned this, but I don't think I mind."

[backstory-character-offical]

*frowns*

*quietly*

He warned you about me?

And…

*smiles*

I didn’t intend to meet you today, but I’m glad I did!

[holyspiritoffical]

"yeah... I... it doesn't matter." "I'm glad too. I lost track of time so much I'm almost late for a job."

[holyspiritoffical]

*Macey is out walking in the city when she spots Quinn-something about them is familiar to him and they subtly view Quinn’s recent memories to realize who they are-she stops and turns back*

[backstory-character-offical]

Mhm!

It makes sense he wouldn’t talk about me much-

*looks down*

And probably not in the best light…

[holyspiritoffical]

"Well, let's hear your story, then."

Quinn gestures to a nearby diner with a soft smile.

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey looks genuinely surprised*

Really? That’d be lovely!

*giggles*

I’ll pay.

[holyspiritoffical]

"I'm good with that." They both go inside and sit down. Quinn gets an ice tea first thing.

"so, how do you see... everything...?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey gets a cappuccino and looks down*

The goddess who enslaved me for years and ordered the killing of my family.

When Savi and I killed her, she put her powers into me knowing there was a high likelihood they would destroy me or that Savi would turn against me because of it. But here I am! God of time and space now. And she’s gone. So.

Yeah, that’s how!

[holyspiritoffical]

"Sounds... like lot's of fun now you're okay." "And your perspective? On your history with my dad...?"

[backstory-character-offical]

It’s hard sometimes because of the memories I have associated with it, but I’m learning to enjoy it!

*tightens a bit but nods*

Right…okay…

Savi led a raid on my village when I was fifteen years old. His forces set fire to my home and killed my parents and sisters. I got home from school to find the house…and they…

*looks lost in the memory for a moment before shaking head*

Savi didn’t want me dead for some reason so he pretended I was eighteen and forced me to join Ora’s army.

Ora…the goddess…she hated me for bringing out a human aspect of Savi. So she used me as her torture subject for years. Thus-

*gestures to the deep scars on their lips*

I try to hide most of the scars. Unfortunately even being a god I can’t get rid of them.

I loathed Savi for what he did to me, but when our mutual friend Brune was murdered by Ora to keep Savi in line, we formed an alliance to get revenge.

After killing Ora…I got her powers…and Savi turned to a former enemy of his in order to imprison me outside of time and space because he couldn’t trust that all I wanted to do was leave all of that behind. He thought I’d chosen to get Ora’s powers.

Well, fast forward three years, I got free. And I wanted revenge so badly. So I teamed up with the one being I deemed Savi hated the most-the Agent-

*pauses, looking concerned*

There’s more but…this isn’t too much for you, is it? You’re just a kid?

[holyspiritoffical]

"Yeah. That's about the same to what he said. Though, there was more regret on his part. More believing he'd made a mistake. And no, it's not too much for me. I may be in a crap, hormonal, teen body but I've lived longer than you can believe. If only I'd remember the time before this body, heh."

Quinn, in an attempt to soothe Macey, is sat really casually and smiling. @backstory-character-offical

[backstory-character-offical]

*giggles*

I believe you! I get it-I’m nineteen but also became somehow as old as my powers when I got them. It’s…strange.

*nods*

He did regret it…

*relaxes a bit*

He and I have reconciled since…

But at the time I just needed to get back at him. I didn’t trust the Agent or agree with the way he hurt people, hurt me, but…then he started being nice to me, protective, parental, saying I’d always have a home with him if I helped him. And I started to realize that I was never going to be able to live a normal life…nobody had been kind to me like that for years…so I agreed to stay with him.

Then Ora possessed me, Savi and the Agent worked together to get rid of her. During this time, the Agent got his emotions back and really, truly loved me like a dad. He reconciled with Savi. And we were happy. The happiest I’d been.

But someone impersonated me and made the Agent think I was abandoning him…

*purses lips and looks away*

So he got rid of his emotions again…and…when I came back he told me that I was a waste of space and had to prove I was loyal to him-

He made me kill illusions of my family-

Then he acted like he love me again-

But he killed Savi’s sister in front of me after he tried to get me to.

Savi took me back to the lair where I sought refuge for a while, but then…but then the Agent threatened Savi’s sibling-in-law so I had to go back to him and…prove myself again.

But Ora returned to life and he protected me from her! He does care about me! He said so!

*looks away*

It’s just…twisted.

And I have to make sure I stay useful to him…

*closes eyes briefly before looking back to Quinn lightly*

Sorry for dumping all that on you! That’s…all for the most part!

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn listens intently

"it's... it's okay."

"Yknow... me and the agent have some past too."

"He tried to, uh, torture me into being his... apprentice. he saved me from torture once.

but it's not saving if he's doing it to keep control of you, Macey.

There are people out there that actually would help, given the chance. protect you, give you a good life, stay by your side.

people who know the agent is hurting you."

Quinn smiles again.

"you don't gotta be useful to be valuable to someone, y'know?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*looks away*

Yeah…he…did mention you once.

But it’s not like that-he’ll keep me around if I’m not useful, he’ll just try to force me to be more useful. He…wouldn’t let me leave even if I wanted to, so…y’know…

*shakes head*

Don’t worry about me.

[holyspiritoffical]

"It just... doesn't feel like you're safe there."

Inbetween talking, Quinn orders another ice tea.

"He's not really the type for fatherly love. And we've beat him before, even I escaped and I was an emotional klutz."

[backstory-character-offical]

I…I’ll be okay, don’t worry about me. He is sometimes, and I promised him I wouldn’t leave-

He’s terrified of being alone, and if he were alone I think he’d make all of your lives a whole lot more miserable. So don’t worry for me, I can handle it…

[holyspiritoffical]

"Why should you care about his fear?" "You're having to reassure me you're safe while defending someone who's 'sometimes' loving? In what world is that supposed to make me not worry?" Quinn sighs, "you're more stubborn than I thought you'd be."

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey falters for a slight second then sighs and smiles*

I know…it’s bad…but it’s my situation and I can’t get out of it so I might as well come to terms with it.

[holyspiritoffical]

"You can't get out of it, no. Not by yourself."

Quinn grabs a nearby napkin and a pen from their pocket. They speak as they write.

"If you're in that place, and you finally realise you need help, call this."

They hand over the napkin, their number in messy handwriting on it.

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey looks down at it, concealing a smile*

Thank you. I appreciate it. You’re really kind.

[holyspiritoffical]

"If... um... if it's at the right time, I could even come to the agency to help you sneak out or something." "and I'm not kind, just... everyone deserves help if they need it."

[backstory-character-offical]

*looks up again*

Thanks…I’ll keep that in mind…

*folds the napkin neatly up and puts it in their pocket*

*tilts head*

You are kind. Savi’s lucky to have a kid like you.

[holyspiritoffical]

"I... I'm more lucky to have him. I wish I could do more to help. to protect him, y'know?" "sorry, hah. I don't mean to be cliché"

( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

(Thanks for tagging me!)

*Macey shakes their head*

That’s not cliche at all! But you don’t need to worry yourself, your dad can look after himself

…

For the most part.

[holyspiritoffical]

"yeah, I mean... I f-feel like I'm crowding him most of the time, like he'll stop wanting me around if I'm always begging for- for his time. I'm worried I'll fade out the picture if I'm not with him..." "The worry's gotten better, since knowing he's- uh- immortal, but I've still known other i-immortal people that got ripped away from me, so that means he could still b-be- and-"

...

"I'm sorry, side-tracked. I don't mean to make any of this about myself."

( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

No, no, don’t apologize! That sounds really hard and I can…kinda relate.

[holyspiritoffical]

"Oh thank gods, I sound crazy to most people."

Quinn props their feet up on the booth chair opposite them, next to and not touching Macey but still relaxed.

"It's strange, immortal doesn't mean always around. it just means always alive."

"You know all about that, then?"

( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

*quietly*

It doesn’t sound crazy to me at all.

*looks up, surprised and curious*

Know all about what?

[holyspiritoffical]

"Being friends with immortals. Fear of loosing people, things not turning out how you expected." "you can relate?" ( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

Ha, yeah-

*looks down*

Very much so.

[holyspiritoffical]

"...sorry, you don't gotta talk about it. Just keep that number safe for when you're ready. And after you finish that coffee, I can pay."

[backstory-character-offical]

*looks back up*

Oh no, you don’t need to pay! I can pay!

[holyspiritoffical]

"Your sure? I just got a lot, so it's really not a problem for me."

"Thank you, though."

[backstory-character-offical]

Money’s one thing I do have abundance of. I’m sure.

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn laughs lightly "Alright then, go ahead." They're genuinely smiling

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey giggles and then pays when the server comes over again*

Thanks!

[holyspiritoffical]

"Heh. you are not what I thought you'd be like." Quinn stands and stretches, and funnily the pockets in their jacket audible jingle when they do.

[holyspiritoffical]

*A note appeared outside the nearest vent, very visible. It read*

I was asked by Rasine to convey the following:

'Savi's hurt. I don't know how long it will be before he's awake. He won't die. Please don't panic.'

The cobbled street Quinn loiters in is nearly flooded with earlier hour's rain, the water mirroring the low light of the streetlamps. The note is visible, but difficult to read in the dark. They focus hard, and slowly, the words come together.

They close their eyes, trying to sense anything, get information about anything, but their days of always knowing have been gone for a long time. And oh, they hate it. What they do know? someone hurt their dad. someone failed to protect their dad.

They move so fast it seems they vanish for a second. In little to no time, they're at the FUCS compound and absolutely furious. they definitely ignored the "Please don't panic" portion of the note, oh well. Quinn practically kicks the door down to Savi's room and charge in. They ignore the others in the room and make a beeline for Rasine, grabbing his collar harshly. "TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED."

@supervillains-assistant-offical

@creativer-name-offical @supervillain-offical

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

*Rasine looked up at Quinn- he had been sitting, sleeping, besides Savi's bed. They had been crying again in their sleep, silently. Their eyes went wide, and they quickly shifted a small blade on instinct, but made no move to use it. They didn't respond for a moment.*

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He had been sitting against the opposite wall from the bed, as he had come to do a lot, just staring at the floor infront of him.*

*He looks up as Quinn enters the room, freezing.*

*After a moment he stands up, shaking slightly, but he doesn't move or say anything.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*alarmed, gently*

Quinn, Quinn it-it’s okay-

I-I’m okay-

Well-

*tries to quickly move the blanket above his bullet wound*

More or less-

But y-you don’t need to-

This isn’t Rasine’s fault, I can explain-

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn glances to Savi but keeps their grip on Rasine "WERE YOU THERE?! Who- what happened! ANSWER ME!"

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"I was-

He-"

Rasine unmade the blade, shaking just slightly, but speaking.

"We went out to a bar. I messed up. I made Lain leave. That led to Cain leaving. I went after Lain. I should've been with Savi- I shouldn't have let him be left alone while drunk-"

He said it quietly, barely loud enough for Quinn to hear, making no move to get away from Quinn.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*Hesitates for a moment but walks quickly over to them, stepping as between them as possible, looking at Quinn.*

*Loudly.*

Get away from him. I know you want to know what happened. But this isn't the way to do it.

Leave Rasine alone.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*firmly*

It was my fault, Quinn. I-I’m so sorry, but I’m the one who should be explaining, not Rasine.

*gently*

I’m alright. Now let them go.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn reluctantly let's go of Rasine but keeps the closeness and tone. They turn to Vincent, "Don't you tell me what to do, I'm defending my father!"

Then, pointing at Rasine, "for gods' sakes, I just KNEW there was something off about you"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine shrunk back, looking down, still shaking.

"I'm sorry-"

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

I don't give a fuck about you "defending your father".

Get away.

*He looks to Rasine for a moment, taking his hand gently and reassuringly.*

They have done absolutely nothing but help. You're the problem here.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

*Savi is torn, not wanting to hurt either of them*

*sharply*

Quinn-

*inhales*

No one is the problem here and no one is at fault e-except me. There is nothing off about Rasine. I-I know you’re upset-

*takes a breath*

I-I shot myself, Quinn.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

They were about to defend themself against Vincent when Savi said that.

Their eyes widen and their anger seems to leave them, they lower their hand and take one small step away from Rasine, facing Savi.

They're silent for many moments.

"You... why would you... I thought..."

Quinn's fingertips glow slightly with faint yellow light, a subconscious trigger of their ability to heal.

"Why, Dad?" ( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine gently squeezed Vincent's hand, looking up at him, then over to Savi, avoiding looking back at Quinn. He took a breath, then moved closer to Vincent and gently squeezed his hand again.

"Thank you-" he muttered softly.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He doesn't say anything, just glaring at Quinn and gently squeezing Rasine's hand in acknowledgement.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

I-I-

*looks away, ashamed*

I was drunk. I…thought I was being abandoned by some of my friends, I got overwhelmed and I wasn’t thinking.

Rasine…Rasine was the one who brought me back. If it weren’t for him and Cain I’d still be bleeding out in a bar.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn sends a glare to Rasine as his name comes up, then turns back to Savi. Their trying not to cry, but they're actually doing well at it.

"I should've been here sooner."

"You've had painkillers or something? Has a doctor been? Gods, how are you even a-"

"I- how can I help?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

Rasine flinched at the glare, looking down but speaking softly.

"He's had painkillers. He's had someone look at him. He's supposedly healing as he should be."

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

*He moved slightly closer to Rasine, squeezing his hand again. Still glaring at Quinn.*

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

Quinn. I’ll be okay, now stop glaring at Rasine.

It’s because of him that someone’s looked at me, and that I’ve had painkillers.

Because I’m immortal, it can’t kill me, it’ll just take a bit to heal.

I’m sorry I worried you.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn mutters to themself, "supposedly?" after Rasine talks, still bitter.

"Yeah, yeah I get it, devil horns and that, but..."

They take a breath.

"Does it still hurt?"

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"If it does, I can get you more painkillers, Sav- I didn't want to give you the highest dose of everything I could all at once so I wouldn't leave you with nothing you could take later, otherwise I would've given you more already-"

He leaned slightly on Vincent, comforted with him here, being close.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Yeah if you're in pain we can get you more painkillers, Savi.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

It hurts a little, yeah, but I’m alright.

I’m healing as I’m supposed to so the pain doesn’t really bother me.

*smiles tiredly*

Thanks. To all of you.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

"How'd you get the gun?"

"I mean, I know you always have weapons, but someone must've known it was within reach while you were drunk."

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[supervillains-assistant-offical]

"..."

Rasine looked down again. It hadn't crossed his mind that the normal things Savi always carried with him could be dangerous while he was drunk. He hadn't thought to ask Savi to leave them behind. Not that it would've mattered. Cain had guns with it, and Lain probably had too. There were weapons around, even if Savi hadn't brought any.

( @creative-name-offical )

[creative-name-offical]

Nobody thought he was gonna fucking shoot himself when they looked away. Nobody was planning on leaving him alone in the first place.

( @supervillain-offical )

[supervillain-offical]

I-

Y-yeah they-they didn’t even know I had been drinking as much as I had before that-

And I probably wouldn’t have let anyone take my gun-

But I’m alright, Quinn.

And nobody’s at fault but me.

( @holyspiritoffical )

[holyspiritoffical]

(to Vincent) "I DON'T CARE. This should never have happened." (to the room) "Can we all stop being so okay with the fact my dad could've killed himself? Please?" "And Savi, gods, stop saying that. You blame yourself too much."

( @supervillains-assistant-offical )

[holyspiritoffical]

*Macey is out walking in the city when she spots Quinn-something about them is familiar to him and they subtly view Quinn’s recent memories to realize who they are-she stops and turns back*

*walks over*

Oh-

You’re Savi’s child, aren’t you?

- @backstory-character-offical

Quinn turns around quick, startled. "Hello- uh, how do you know about that?" This kind of thing happens with FUCS members, since Quinn regrettably isn't around all the time. They're relatively calm, assuming this is an ally. "Did he send you?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*smiles then looks sad*

No…I…haven’t been able to see him in a while…

You looked familiar to me, and now I know why-

*tilts head*

My name’s Macey, I’d be surprised if he’s mentioned me.

[holyspiritoffical]

"You're... uh... you're Macey?"

"He has mentioned you. briefly. i- uh, honestly don't even remember a lot of what he said, hah."

[backstory-character-offical]

Mhm!

It makes sense he wouldn’t talk about me much-

*looks down*

And probably not in the best light…

[holyspiritoffical]

"Well, let's hear your story, then."

Quinn gestures to a nearby diner with a soft smile.

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey looks genuinely surprised*

Really? That’d be lovely!

*giggles*

I’ll pay.

[holyspiritoffical]

"I'm good with that." They both go inside and sit down. Quinn gets an ice tea first thing.

"so, how do you see... everything...?"

"The worry's gotten better, since knowing he's- uh- immortal, but I've still known other i-immortal people that got ripped away from me, so that means he could still b-be- and-"

...

"I'm sorry, side-tracked. I don't mean to make any of this about myself."

( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

No, no, don’t apologize! That sounds really hard and I can…kinda relate.

[holyspiritoffical]

"Oh thank gods, I sound crazy to most people."

Quinn props their feet up on the booth chair opposite them, next to and not touching Macey but still relaxed.

"It's strange, immortal doesn't mean always around. it just means always alive."

"You know all about that, then?"

( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

*quietly*

It doesn’t sound crazy to me at all.

*looks up, surprised and curious*

Know all about what?

[holyspiritoffical]

"Being friends with immortals. Fear of loosing people, things not turning out how you expected." "you can relate?" ( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

Ha, yeah-

*looks down*

Very much so.

[holyspiritoffical]

"...sorry, you don't gotta talk about it. Just keep that number safe for when you're ready. And after you finish that coffee, I can pay."

[backstory-character-offical]

*looks back up*

Oh no, you don’t need to pay! I can pay!

[holyspiritoffical]

"Your sure? I just got a lot, so it's really not a problem for me."

"Thank you, though."

[backstory-character-offical]

Money’s one thing I do have abundance of. I’m sure.

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn laughs lightly "Alright then, go ahead." They're genuinely smiling

[holyspiritoffical]

*Macey is out walking in the city when she spots Quinn-something about them is familiar to him and they subtly view Quinn’s recent memories to realize who they are-she stops and turns back*

*walks over*

Oh-

You’re Savi’s child, aren’t you?

- @backstory-character-offical

Quinn turns around quick, startled. "Hello- uh, how do you know about that?" This kind of thing happens with FUCS members, since Quinn regrettably isn't around all the time. They're relatively calm, assuming this is an ally. "Did he send you?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*smiles then looks sad*

No…I…haven’t been able to see him in a while…

You looked familiar to me, and now I know why-

*tilts head*

My name’s Macey, I’d be surprised if he’s mentioned me.

[holyspiritoffical]

"You're... uh... you're Macey?"

"He has mentioned you. briefly. i- uh, honestly don't even remember a lot of what he said, hah."

[backstory-character-offical]

Mhm!

It makes sense he wouldn’t talk about me much-

*looks down*

And probably not in the best light…

[holyspiritoffical]

"Well, let's hear your story, then."

Quinn gestures to a nearby diner with a soft smile.

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey looks genuinely surprised*

Really? That’d be lovely!

*giggles*

I’ll pay.

[holyspiritoffical]

"I'm good with that." They both go inside and sit down. Quinn gets an ice tea first thing.

"so, how do you see... everything...?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey gets a cappuccino and looks down*

The goddess who enslaved me for years and ordered the killing of my family.

When Savi and I killed her, she put her powers into me knowing there was a high likelihood they would destroy me or that Savi would turn against me because of it. But here I am! God of time and space now. And she’s gone. So.

Yeah, that’s how!

[holyspiritoffical]

"Sounds... like lot's of fun now you're okay." "And your perspective? On your history with my dad...?"

[backstory-character-offical]

It’s hard sometimes because of the memories I have associated with it, but I’m learning to enjoy it!

*tightens a bit but nods*

Right…okay…

Savi led a raid on my village when I was fifteen years old. His forces set fire to my home and killed my parents and sisters. I got home from school to find the house…and they…

*looks lost in the memory for a moment before shaking head*

Savi didn’t want me dead for some reason so he pretended I was eighteen and forced me to join Ora’s army.

Ora…the goddess…she hated me for bringing out a human aspect of Savi. So she used me as her torture subject for years. Thus-

*gestures to the deep scars on their lips*

I try to hide most of the scars. Unfortunately even being a god I can’t get rid of them.

I loathed Savi for what he did to me, but when our mutual friend Brune was murdered by Ora to keep Savi in line, we formed an alliance to get revenge.

After killing Ora…I got her powers…and Savi turned to a former enemy of his in order to imprison me outside of time and space because he couldn’t trust that all I wanted to do was leave all of that behind. He thought I’d chosen to get Ora’s powers.

Well, fast forward three years, I got free. And I wanted revenge so badly. So I teamed up with the one being I deemed Savi hated the most-the Agent-

*pauses, looking concerned*

There’s more but…this isn’t too much for you, is it? You’re just a kid?

[holyspiritoffical]

"Yeah. That's about the same to what he said. Though, there was more regret on his part. More believing he'd made a mistake. And no, it's not too much for me. I may be in a crap, hormonal, teen body but I've lived longer than you can believe. If only I'd remember the time before this body, heh."

Quinn, in an attempt to soothe Macey, is sat really casually and smiling. @backstory-character-offical

[backstory-character-offical]

*giggles*

I believe you! I get it-I’m nineteen but also became somehow as old as my powers when I got them. It’s…strange.

*nods*

He did regret it…

*relaxes a bit*

He and I have reconciled since…

But at the time I just needed to get back at him. I didn’t trust the Agent or agree with the way he hurt people, hurt me, but…then he started being nice to me, protective, parental, saying I’d always have a home with him if I helped him. And I started to realize that I was never going to be able to live a normal life…nobody had been kind to me like that for years…so I agreed to stay with him.

Then Ora possessed me, Savi and the Agent worked together to get rid of her. During this time, the Agent got his emotions back and really, truly loved me like a dad. He reconciled with Savi. And we were happy. The happiest I’d been.

But someone impersonated me and made the Agent think I was abandoning him…

*purses lips and looks away*

So he got rid of his emotions again…and…when I came back he told me that I was a waste of space and had to prove I was loyal to him-

He made me kill illusions of my family-

Then he acted like he love me again-

But he killed Savi’s sister in front of me after he tried to get me to.

Savi took me back to the lair where I sought refuge for a while, but then…but then the Agent threatened Savi’s sibling-in-law so I had to go back to him and…prove myself again.

But Ora returned to life and he protected me from her! He does care about me! He said so!

*looks away*

It’s just…twisted.

And I have to make sure I stay useful to him…

*closes eyes briefly before looking back to Quinn lightly*

Sorry for dumping all that on you! That’s…all for the most part!

[holyspiritoffical]

Quinn listens intently

"it's... it's okay."

"Yknow... me and the agent have some past too."

"He tried to, uh, torture me into being his... apprentice. he saved me from torture once.

but it's not saving if he's doing it to keep control of you, Macey.

There are people out there that actually would help, given the chance. protect you, give you a good life, stay by your side.

people who know the agent is hurting you."

Quinn smiles again.

"you don't gotta be useful to be valuable to someone, y'know?"

[backstory-character-offical]

*looks away*

Yeah…he…did mention you once.

But it’s not like that-he’ll keep me around if I’m not useful, he’ll just try to force me to be more useful. He…wouldn’t let me leave even if I wanted to, so…y’know…

*shakes head*

Don’t worry about me.

[holyspiritoffical]

"It just... doesn't feel like you're safe there."

Inbetween talking, Quinn orders another ice tea.

"He's not really the type for fatherly love. And we've beat him before, even I escaped and I was an emotional klutz."

[backstory-character-offical]

I…I’ll be okay, don’t worry about me. He is sometimes, and I promised him I wouldn’t leave-

He’s terrified of being alone, and if he were alone I think he’d make all of your lives a whole lot more miserable. So don’t worry for me, I can handle it…

[holyspiritoffical]

"Why should you care about his fear?" "You're having to reassure me you're safe while defending someone who's 'sometimes' loving? In what world is that supposed to make me not worry?" Quinn sighs, "you're more stubborn than I thought you'd be."

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey falters for a slight second then sighs and smiles*

I know…it’s bad…but it’s my situation and I can’t get out of it so I might as well come to terms with it.

[holyspiritoffical]

"You can't get out of it, no. Not by yourself."

Quinn grabs a nearby napkin and a pen from their pocket. They speak as they write.

"If you're in that place, and you finally realise you need help, call this."

They hand over the napkin, their number in messy handwriting on it.

[backstory-character-offical]

*Macey looks down at it, concealing a smile*

Thank you. I appreciate it. You’re really kind.

[holyspiritoffical]

"If... um... if it's at the right time, I could even come to the agency to help you sneak out or something." "and I'm not kind, just... everyone deserves help if they need it."

[backstory-character-offical]

*looks up again*

Thanks…I’ll keep that in mind…

*folds the napkin neatly up and puts it in their pocket*

*tilts head*

You are kind. Savi’s lucky to have a kid like you.

[holyspiritoffical]

"I... I'm more lucky to have him. I wish I could do more to help. to protect him, y'know?" "sorry, hah. I don't mean to be cliché"

( @backstory-character-offical )

[backstory-character-offical]

(Thanks for tagging me!)

*Macey shakes their head*

That’s not cliche at all! But you don’t need to worry yourself, your dad can look after himself

…

For the most part.
