Unexpected Savior || Dinah & Cletus

onlyhvmcn‌:

The last thing Cletus ever wanted to do was lie to Dinah, but he was doing it for her protection. Frankly, he would rather no one know that he was Carnage because his handiwork was seen all over the news; he was a monster, period. But the worse part of it all was that Cletus genuinely saw no real wrong in what Carnage was doing and that was even worse. Unfortunately, Cletus always knew there was a dark, twisted, fucked up side to him that really nobody knew about, not even Dinah. He really didn’t care if others saw it or feared him, but Dinah he would protect from that at all costs. Someone like her, didn’t deserve to see all the darkness that was hidden within Cletus. He really didn’t see why she kept trying so hard to get him to confess, because he wasn’t going to; he decided sticking to his story of not knowing what she was talking about was best, denial was always best. Although he knew Dinah was smart and she knew him too well, she was the last person he could genuinely lie to without her noticing. It seemed she grew tired of his denial though, because she walked right past him upset and even though Cletus tried to pull her back he couldn’t.”Where are you going, Dinah?!” he questioned loudly, but instead he got the closing door as his answer. “Ahhh, shit!” he groaned and immediately took off to go follow her, he knew this couldn’t be good.

Cletus continued calling after her but still all she did was run and eventually they found their way on the roof of his building, “Dinah, stop this! You’re being ridiculous, let’s just go back inside and talk..” he trailed off as soon as he saw her stand on the ledge, a small gasp escaping him, “D-Dinah, what are you doing?” his focus was all on her, focusing on every step, breath and move she was making. “Don’t you fucking do this Dinah, this is stupid!” a low growl escaped him, but that wasn’t Cletus anymore, that was Carnage. And just like that Dinah let herself fall from the edge and Carnage immediately made haste and followed her fall. It didn’t take long and before she could even reach the third floor down, Carnage caught her with an almost web like material keeping them attached to the roof and he growled at the young woman now completely in his grasp, “Is THIS what you wanted, tiny human?! To see the true monster that your poor friend truly is?” the fact they were still hanging in mid-air not seeming to bother him at all; but it was obvious they both knew Carnage had no plans on letting her fall. But Carnage and Dinah were finally face to face, the closest any human had ever been to him without becoming food for him.

-----

It was all a blur to Dinah. You would call her crazy for not being scared to fall despite her past being nearly frightened of everything, but she knew Cletus would catch her. He always did. That man is and will always be her safety net. As she kept her eyes closed with her heart in her throat Dinah felt it fall into her stomach when she found herself no longer falling. Slowly opening her eyes the Scientist looks up to see her assumptions were correct; that brain of her’s was right once again. From following the symbiotes pattern and how they acted towards humans, Dinah knew she wouldn’t be food to Carnage or else she would already been eaten. There were so many things Dinah wanted to say and assure the symbiote that Cletus was no monster--not to her. But no words wanted to come out. All Dinah could do was lay there in his web in astonishment. The color of Carnage almost reminded Dinah of Cletus’s ginger hair, just more darker; the shade of blood. The web she was entrapped in was the same color though it also almost looked all black. “I...I’m not scared.” was all the Scientist could muster up to Carnage. Dinah really wasn’t even despite hanging in the air with the busy streets of San Francisco underneath her.

When being brought back onto the roof Dinah became thankful to have her feet on the ground and not on the sidewalk like a bug is to a windshield. Turning around Dinah finds herself face to face with Carnage once again. Saying nothing and doing something that could get anyone else killed, Dinah embraces the monster. In a way it was parallel to Persephone hugging Hades. It was the only way Dinah knew she could show she wasn’t scared of Carnage. There is a mount of evidence on TV that she should be running in a different direction and screaming at the top of her longs, but she wasn’t. “Not all monsters do monstrous things, Carnage.” she mumbled. “Cletus never was one to me.” Dinah had heard the stories of the darkness that resided in her best friend and guess what? The Scientist didn’t care. She saw herself as a light to his darkness and at times believed if it wasn’t for her, Cletus would probably be in a jail cell rotting away. Dinah felt pretty sure if she said she had hugged Carnage that there will be a place for her in the Asylum or a jail cell.

Now knowing the truth about this Dinah knew she should never reveal about her decoding the genetic codes to both Carnage and Venom. If she were to place money on it, if they learned the truth--that DNA could lead back to Cletus and then Dinah would truly become al alone in this sick twisted world.

Home Troubles You || Thor & Serenity

hvriclvgnds

onlyhvmcn‌:

Serenity knew she was letting emotions cloud her better judgement currently, but how could she not? There was so much to uncover when it came to her emotions and her feelings towards Thor that she didn’t know how to properly express them or even if she should. So of course the easiest emotion for her to express was anger and resentment, because then at least those emotions were protecting her as best they could. It was no mystery to anyone on Asgard the trouble and chaos Loki had caused back on Midgard, Serenity was even there for when he was sentenced and was the one who led him to his cell. That was really the last time the two had ever spoken, strangely enough, if anyone could see Serenity’s feelings for Thor, it was Loki. The words from Loki still rang through her mind, “You know, you won’t be able to keep that facade with my brother forever, general Knight.” her title stinging her a bit, because it only reminded her of her father that she had lost, the one who helped her become the woman she was. “Alright, then you did what you had to do, as I said before I didn’t bring you here for a catch up I brought you here for your father, nothing more, nothing less. You have your duties, I have mine, let’s move on.” her words becoming more bitter than they were before.

Just as she was about to start walking away from him again, she quickly found herself thrown up against a wall and under Thor’s a bit under Thor’s weight, so it made moving a bit harder for her. Her stare became hardened towards him and if looks could kill, Thor would have been done for at this point. “It’s hard to go fetch a prince who acts like he would rather by anywhere but here.” her chocolate brown eyes still piercing through him, “And the difference between you and Ophelia, is that at least she said goodbye and even stayed in contact from time to time, that’s the difference!” but oh, it was so much more than that; because the real, true, huge difference between Thor and Ophelia, was that Serenity wasn’t in love with Ophelia.

Once he finally moved away from her a bit, Serenity’s body softened a bit and she bit down on her lip for a moment; a habit she had kept from her younger years. She sighed and shook her head a bit, “There’s nothing to tell Thor, so I don’t know what answer you’re searching for but you aren’t going to get it; perhaps if I still knew you, then you would. But all I see in front of me right now is a stranger that shares a few memories with me, that is all.”and that even hurt her saying those words, but how could she not? At this point she felt as if she lost Thor so he could have a new, better life and that was one without her, “You left..” she murmured, “You left and I was still here, even brought your human here and acted though as if I was nothing..” her voice becoming softer and internally Serenity wanted to cry, more than anything she wanted to breakdown and cry, but not here not like this.

The God scoffs at the General’s words. “Ophelia doesn’t have the nine realms to protect unlike I!” he grunts at the warrior. Though that was partially a lie too. Their dear friend has a job in protecting Midgard from threats that would come across the stars. He would be lying if he said Serenity’s words didn’t hurt him. Oh how it hurt him to see his closest friend to be this broken up over him leaving. “Serenity, I am still very much the same man you knew just wiser now and a protector of Earth--an Avenger.” Which is all true. So much has happened to him since his Father banished him to Midgard. Through that lesson is how Thor became the man he is today and of course he would change in certain was, but for the better.

Hearing her next words broke his heart and with no warning Thor brought Serenity into a hug. He knew she wasn’t much one for crying and was shocked to see her shed tears. “I never left, old friend.” He gently pulls away, but kept his hands on her shoulders. “I...You know that situation with Jane being brought here was dire with the Infinity Stone in her and the Dark Elves and my moth--” Thor stops himself there as he remembered see Frigga’s body on the floor and Odin weeping over her corpse.

As he kept his hands on her shoulders Thor looked into her eyes. “I forbid you to ever talk that way about yourself--you are not nothing to me, Serenity, do you hear me? I won’t have it.” Thor did not want Serenity to speak ill of herself.

Unexpected Savior || Dinah & Cletus

hvriclvgnds

onlyhvmcn‌:

If there was one sight he never thought he would see anytime soon, it was Dinah being back in his place and eating something he cooked. It had been so long since the two had seen each other, but it felt just like old times again as if nothing had changed almost. Of course he could tell she looked a bit different, but to him she still looked beautiful as ever, how could she not? As she started eating, Cletus maybe took a few bites here and there from his meal, but that was really all he could stomach. Unfortunately with him and Carnage bonded, Cletus didn’t eat much regular food these days, which was a downside considering he genuinely missed his own cooking. But, seeing Dinah chow down on it helped make up for that fact. When she pointed out how little he had eaten. a small chuckle escaped him, “Oh.. yeah, I guess I’m just not as hungry as I thought I would be? I’ll just store it in the fridge, save it for later, you know?” and he would, but chance are it wouldn’t be eaten anytime soon or ever for that matter. He grinned at her words, “Well, I’m glad I was the one that got the honor of cooking you, your first homemade meal back home then.”

Did it hurt him at certain points that Dinah hadn’t thought to reach out? Of course it did, but he also understood the work she was in could be quite time consuming, so he tried not to let it bother him too much. But when she mentioned the names Venom and Carnage, he choked up on his water a bit and tried to play it off normally, “Mhm, yeah.. I’ve heard about those, uh, things? If that’s what you would call them? It seems like they’re causing quite the mess out there lately being.. you know, free and everything.”

He was more than thankful when something on the TV distracted her, but when he saw what it was? That thankful feeling went away, “Oh shit..” he murmured to himself. And then when she looked back at him, he immediately stood up and went over to her, “Hey, hey, Dinah listen to me, okay? That news story could just be a coincidence, maybe Carnage was what scared them off! I mean.. What does it matter anyways?” he questioned and shrugged, “They were bad men anyways, if anything.. maybe what Carnage did was a good thing, honestly the worlds better off without scumbags like that.” When she didn’t seem to be buying his story, Cletus tried another card and frowned a bit, “Do you really think I could have hurt those men Dinah? It’s me, Cletus, your best friend, you’ve known me for years! Do you really think I would hurt anyone like that?” hoping that his regular, innocent charms would work as they always did.

Listening to Cletus’s words made Dinah think back to how he always did treat he. Sure the ginger was nice to her, but Dinah knew damn well the man before her was a menace to those who would harm them. Remaining silent for several moments Dinah looks back to the TV just in time as it cut’s to commercial. “I...” Dinah became lost for words as she looks up at the ginger. The best friend who always protected her. “...You’re Carnage.” It made sense with what she discovered in the lab along with him now denying he is Carnage, not Venom. With no warning, Dinah places her hand to where his wound was to feel there was no cut. Surprised and determined more than ever she walks around quickly to see it has healed up. “How do you explain that?” A rage began to burn in her as Cletus continued to deny such things when the facts were screaming itself to Dinah. “Fast healer my ass, Kasday.” she declared.

“Cletus, tell me are you him?” she motions to the TV as it shows an image of Carnage. “You can tell me.” Dinah pleads to him. “I promise I won’t think of you any different, you are my best friend and I don’t want to get you into trouble.” Oh it would hurt Dinah if she continued working on the decoding that it would eventually reveal Carnage is her Cletus. “Please tell me.” When he kept denying the of her assumptions just made Dinah even more furious. It wasn’t that threatening of her anger due to her small frame. She had no muscles or a rough built frame like Cletus. “Fine. Be a stubborn ass.” The woman huffs at him. Saying nothing no more Dinah storms out of the apartment and goes up the stairs to the top of the building; the roof.

Taking a deep breath Dinah goes onto the ledge as she hears Cletus come outside. “No.” the woman lashes out at him. “You want to be a stubborn ass? Fine. I will be one too.” She knew deep in her heart Cletus would never let anything happen to her even with being Carnage now. It just hurt her how Cletus kept denying it and Dinah knew when he would be lying to her. The man was horrible telling Dinah a fib no matter how realistic it seemed. Looking up at the night sky Dinah closes her eyes and just let’s herself fall.

Serenity walked ahead and ignored the small joke he made at her, the less she spoke to him on this trip the better. There was so much she wanted to say, but couldn’t because frankly what good would any of it do now? Why was she going to waste her breath when he had clearly already made his choice as to who he wanted and where he wanted to be. It didn’t take them long once they finally reached the palace, the statue of the late Loki Laufeyson coming into view, making Serenity crunch her nose at it. She really didn’t understand why Odin wanted a statue of all things? Especially for Loki, of course he was still his son, but how could Odin easily forgive all the things Loki had done in the past, that was the one thing even Serenity could not understand. But, she herself was yet to be a parent so perhaps it would be something she would understand then. When Thor asked how long the statue had been up, she shrugged slightly, “Odin asked for it to be built.. just right after you had left actually, but, we all assumed he was mourning so we didn’t really think much of if.” the people didn’t, but Serenity did. “Ophelia?” she questioned, Serenity had not even known Ophelia had returned to Asgard, “..Thor, I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but, I haven’t seen Ophelia on Asgard in years and surely Odin would have said something to me if she had.” the warrior was only beginning to get more confused.

She had already seen the play due to the fact Odin made the first showing mandatory for all citizens, no exceptions. It all seemed like some odd shrine to his late son and frankly it made her feel uneasy, but again, she was not one to step out of line with Odin, never had and never would. So she let Thor go up and witness some of the play himself, letting him gather his own thoughts about it. Once he did, Serenity could sense the anger radiating off him but her eyes widened when she heard his response, “Excuse me, why did I not get you sooner? Who do you think I am Thor, your personal messenger? You forget I serve Odin, not you!” she exclaimed and continued, “And I wouldn’t have had to fetch you like some child in the first place if you had stayed where you belonged, which was here on Asgard, with your people. So if you want to blame anyone for you not knowing sooner then blame yourself!” the anger was more than evident in her voice, which at this point she felt he rightfully deserved for trying to put some blame on her for this. Her walls of defense were coming up and they were going to stay that away, at least till her left back to Midgard. As he took a seat, Serenity crossed her arms over her chest and sighed, trying to find her calm again, “Frankly, I don’t care why you stayed on Midgard, because once you’re done here you can go back to your life down there and the rest of us will go back to our lives without you.” She scoffed, “Maybe because I’ve had other things to attend to, like training new recruits in the Army, guarding our planet and helping the people unlike you, I do care about Asgard and the people here so excuse me if my coming to get you wasn’t soon enough for your liking, maybe trying showing up more often yourself and we wouldn’t have this problem..”

Seeing Serenity become confused when bringing up their beloved friend, Thor nods. “Yes, Ophelia was here little over a week ago.” He remembered running into the woman at Stark tower. The Sorceress had informed Thor about her coming home and retrieving Lorelei for her crimes against Asgard. “Did you not see her flowers at Loki’s feet? Those are her flowers.” Shaking his head some more Thor began to question who Odin wouldn’t let the warrior know of Ophelia being there. Maybe it had slip his mind with everything that was going on?

Leaning against the wall after going off on the warrior Thor found himself quick on his feet at her words. “Wrong, you serve the people of Asgard, not Odin!” In his mind that is how Thor saw it nowadays. As a warriors duty they should see the safety of the people in Asgard. If he were still the arrogant Prince he was before the hammer had taken away Thor would’ve said something else. Something that would’ve been far too nasty and harsh. “Where I belonged? I belong where people need me the most and Midard needed me the most, Serenity, you know this! It is my destiny to protect all of the Nine Realms not just Asgard.” If Thor were to be King someday he had to start early and starting on Midgard seemed like the right place to start. Especially after what Loki had tried to do to people of Earth. “Everyone in all the Nine Realms are my people and you know this better than anyone. Father had that hard wired into not only my mind, but Loki’s--what made you think he deserved to rule of Midgard, huh? He was slaughtering innocents and if succeeded, it wouldn’t be enough and we both know it.” From watching Loki in Midgard and how desperate he was for power Thor knew his brother would do just about anything for it.

In a fit of rage and growing a headache from Serenity’s words, Thor grabs a hold of her and slams her against the wall. His hands resting against the wall above her shoulders. “I understand your duties, I do, we all learned our duties in the same room when we were children. But I remember something from your duties and that was to fetch a Prince if you believed something is wrong with the King.” This whole conversation and how Serenity blew up at him got Thor to thinking. “Why are you so angry with me? You weren’t like this at all when Ophelia left decades ago for Midgard.” Sure the two women were close, but if Thor remembered correctly Serenity didn’t lash out at everyone.

Pushing away from Serenity with softness in his eyes, “You know you can tell me anything Serenity, no matter how foolish you think it sounds.”

Unexpected Savior || Dinah & Cletus

hvriclvgnds

onlyhvmcn‌:

Cletus took it upon himself to stay with Dinah for a little while and make sure she was alright. Eventually it had reached the two hour mark and Cletus could practically hear his stomach growling at him, so he decided to cook himself some dinner and leave a plate for Dinah when she finally did wake up. As he was cooking he turned on the TV and left a movie playing so he would have something going while he was focused on the cooking. Cletus found himself talented in a few things, cooking just so happened to be one of those talents. It took sometime, but he smiled seeing the two plates ready; filled with steak, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. “Maybe I should check to see if she’s awake, try and see if she wants some food.” he thought to himself. So with that Cletus walked to his room, opening the door and immediately being greeted by a blow to the head; instantly bringing him to his knees, “FUCK!” he yelled out and brought his hand to the back of his head and finally looking towards his attacker seeing Dinah standing and well. “Damn, you’ve been practicing those hits on some poor suckers over in New York, D? Any harder and you probably could have knocked my ass out.” a light chuckle escaping him, trying to ignore the pain.

“Ah it’s fine, the alarm clock was a piece of shit anyways, I’m just.. glad to see you’re alright, had me worried there.” he let her help him up and get him to the kitchen, taking a seat on one of the chairs. He nodded a bit, “Yeah, I uh.. Something most have scared those dudes away because they came running out of that alley, I didn’t realize it was you till I went to go and see what it was they were running from.” that was all a lie, but she couldn’t know about Carnage nor what he truly did to those men. As he let Dinah attend to the wound, he couldn’t help but laugh at her question, “Not the pervert’s place I promise, just my crappy, small ass apartment. I’m surprised you didn’t remember it, I haven’t changed much about it since you were last here, honestly…” he trailed off, but a lot of other things had changed.

“I uh, I made some dinner and left a plate for you, I wasn’t sure if you had eaten and well, I figured a nice, warm meal would be good.” he gestured over to the two plates on the counter. When she asked what happened, he shrugged a bit, “Just what I said, I was on a walk and saw those guys running.. You know I’ve never been an easy scare so I went to go check it out and I saw you..” he gulped a bit, feeling that familiar anger beginning to course through his veins at the thought of seeing her like that. But, he needed to keep it under control, “..I don’t, I don’t think they had a chance to finish what they planned on doing but of course I wasn’t just going to leave you there, so I immediately picked you up and brought you back here; have you wake up somewhere, familiar, safe rather than some hospital.” He looked to her and raised his brow a bit, “If you do want me to take you to a hospital though I can, just say the word and we’ll go.”

“Thank you, Cletus.” With that and no warning, Dinah brought the ginger into a tight hug. It was well overdue and very much needed to the Scientist. Breaking away from the hug she welcomed the smell of his cooking--it was one of his best skills and something he was clearly better at than Dinah. When she had left for New York the woman mostly ate on take out and or microwave dinners. Dinah wasn’t much one for cooking. Grabbing a fork and without missing a beat the woman began to dig into her food. If it were true for a woman to have an orgasm in her mouth, Dinah being have a handful of it. “My God I’ve missed your cooking.” Before the raven haired knew it her plate was completely clean of food. Leaning back into her chair Dinah looks over at Cletus’s plate to see he barely touched his food. “You uh, going to eat that C?” She questions him. When he told her to dig in, oh Dinah sure as hell did. “Would you believe it if I told you it has been so long since I had a home cooked meal? It’s a surprise I haven’t gained any weight from take out.” Then again Dinah always has had a fast metabolism. At times the Scientist would joke she is a bottomless pit for food.

Taking a sip of her water and becoming close to finishing her food something goes off in Dinah’s mind. “I am so sorry I haven’t been by or even called you,” she began to apologize. “I’ve been so busy working around the clock at the lab, y’know? Whenever I think I have free time--’Oh no, I don’t anymore since Carnage or Venom has done another killing’.” Taking another bite of her steak Dinah swallows it before remembering something. “Can I tell you something?” A light smirk was residing on her lips. “I figured out the genetic coding of both Venom and Carnage.” Dinah had figured it out on her way back home from work when she was on the subway. Of course it wasn’t written down anywhere, but her mind. In this line of work with science she had learn it was best to keep things like that to yourself until you come before the big man which in her case is Tony Stark who is known to the world as Iron Man. “I haven’t told anyone yet,” Dinah looks down at her plate. “I think my superior wants to use the formula to make symbiotes of his own encase we have a repeat of the attack on New York.” Though something in Dinah’s stomach made her turn. She got a bad vibe from Gary and thought about what if he turns into what happened to Carlton Drake.

As she looks to Cletus with fear in her eyes is when Dinah sees the TV behind him with the headline, ‘CARNAGE STRIKES AGAIN’. “What the hell?” The Scientist gets up and walks past Cletus as she listens to the news. Her mouth drops at seeing the crime scene taking place in the alleyway Dinah was in hours earlier. Though that isn’t what made her stomach drop, what did that trick was the photos they released of the symbiotes’ victims. They were all the men who attacked Dinah. “I thought you said you scared them away, C.” the raven haired turns to face him.

Something then clicked in her head. “When I was scanning the samples I took from each crime scene it revealed their was human blood entangled with the symbiotes DNA.” Dinah could still remember the shock when learning it, then again it was no surprise. “It was two different types of human DNA so there is no way they are the same person.” the Scientist looks to Cletus.

For months Serenity had been concerned for Odin and how things were changing on Asgard and not for the better. He seemed more controlling, demanding almost egotistical; which was unlike him, something wasn’t right but she could never place as to what it was. But of course, she was his general so her pointing out something would only seem like disrespect to their king and considering how much he began fancying throwing insolent citizens in the dungeon, she really didn’t want to take the risk. So, she decided upon calling the only person she knew could talk to Odin freely; Thor. It had been six months since he had left to start his ‘new life’ with his human and The Avengers and while that thought still stung Serenity, she needed to look past it for now and think of Asgard. Which is what brought her to where she was now, at the entrance of their home and as soon as they got there, Serenity detached herself from him gave a small thank you to him. It was clear she was harboring some resentment towards him, but, it wasn’t truly resentment; just hurt and feelings she had been keeping to herself for years.

As they began their walk through the village and to the palace, Serenity couldn’t help but give a small smile at the memories of them all playing together; those were the good times. Of course, before Thor abandoned them, their home, her and that thought alone was enough to make the smile quickly disappear and go back to the displeased look she had on her face. When Thor stopped her in her tracks, she glared at him and crossed her arms over her chest, “Please, stop being a child and let’s just get to the palace, then you can go back to your human and your new friends..” but of course he wasn’t letting her move past him. Serenity took in a deep breath and tried to contain herself, but as soon as his remark came out? Oh, it was over. She immediately took hold of his hand and kept an iron grip on it, making sure it would hurt him and an innocent smile came to her lips, “Listen here and listen well Thor, I didn’t bring you here to toy with me! I brought you here to help your father, so unless you want me to rip your arm off I suggest you do not touch me again and continue walking, do we have an understanding, old friend?” those last words dripping with hostility. When she received a nod from him, she nodded herself, “Good.” and finally let his hand go, seeing some bruising already begin to appear, a small smirk coming to her lips, “You might want to have that looked at when we get to the palace..” and just like that she began walking right past him and ahead.

Feeling the warrior crush his hand, Thor regret what he assumed to Serenity and nods to her words whatever they were. He had to get his hand before she ripped it off. When Serenity had released his hand the God of Thunder held it close to his chest. “Have you been working out?” he half ass jokes to the woman as she passes by him. Letting out a sigh and nodding at those who witnessed what had happened, Thor nods and clears his throat before beginning to follow Serenity. As they neared to the palace the God of Thunder came to a halt as his eyes landed on the statue of his late brother. “Wh..What in Odin’s name is this?” he asks. Thor understood his father would be grieving over Loki despite what he had done, but to built a statue in his honor? That is absurd. As he began to overlook the statue and how uncanny the resemblance was, Thor looks to Serenity. “How long has this been here?” Looking back at the statue he rose an eyebrow at a piece of paper attached to it and read, ‘LOKI’S SACRIFICE PLAY TODAY’. “Seven Devils, Father isn’t a rather big fan of these things.” When Thor was a child he would always attend the theater with his mother and Loki. Maybe his father is doing some of his mother’s favorite actives to keep her alive? “Ophelia did not say anything about how things have changed here.” His eyes stopped on a bouquet of winter roses at Loki’s feet. They were the Sorceress’s favorite flowers.

Walking past Serenity and through the crowd of people, Thor stood on the sidelines as he watch a play take place. It was so eerie similar to how Loki had died from fighting the elves. The resemblance was so close as if Odin himself were there as the God of Mischief died. “How long has he been acting like this, Serenity?” He kept his eyes on the play before looking over at where the royals would be sitting and to his surprise Thor did not see Odin sitting there, but empty barrels of wine. Shaking his head Thor walks away from the crowd before facing Serenity. Fury in his eyes. “How come you did not come get me sooner of this? Clearly my father has turned into a drunken fool with losing his wife and one of his sons within a day of each other.” Taking a seat on the bench the God looks down at the ground as he began to think everything that happened. He finally registered what Serenity had said earlier and looks to the warrior. “As for what you said earlier about ‘my human’, she isn’t.” Thor grunted. “Jane Foster and I are done--I stayed on Midgard for everyone, not her.” Which indeed is fully true now. He lived with Jane until they separated from each other and Thor staying at Stark tower in New York. The God of Thunder decided to stick around and help them find Loki’s scepter that was taken by Hydra. He did not want one of Loki’s toys put into the wrong hands. “Why are you only getting me now?

Unexpected Savior || Dinah & Cletus

onlyhvmcn‌:

It had been a few months since Cletus had bonded with Carnage and while the two had worked out their own arrangements so Cletus could still live a semi-normal life and Carnage could be fed, they still had their struggles from time to time. Especially when Carnage took control without so much as warning Cletus, but they were slowly working on that. At the end of the day Cletus couldn’t change the fact that what Carnage needed was human flesh to sustain himself, which luckily he didn’t taste at all when Carnage was the one in control. Just the mere thought of eating people for food made Cletus’ stomach churn. “Oh, stop your complaining Cletus, I’ve been doing fairly well these past few weeks.” Cletus scoffed and grabbed a water bottle from the fridge, “Yeah and you’ve been here six months, for you to just now start grasping things, Carnage.” he opened the water and took a sip from it. After landing a new job at an auto shop things seemed to be looking up for the red haired man, at least in the sense of his professional life. His personal life was still a bit of a mess considering he found out his biological mother was dead from an overdose and the woman he was seeing basically ended things abruptly with him; but did he really care? Not in the slightest considering he mainly saw her as a fling, there was only one woman who had his heart, even if she would never know it.

He took the water in his hand out to the balcony of his apartment and plopped himself down onto the chair, enjoying the view of the city. It seemed so much was changing for Cletus and frankly, it scared him; change always did. “You’re lonely.” the darker voice in his mind spoke to him, he scoffed and shrugged, “How can I be lonely when I have you always with me Carnage?” but before Carnage could give a response, Cletus’ ears perked up hearing a particular conversation not far from where he was at; one of the benefits Carnage gave him was top notch hearing, better than the average human. “Assholes..” he muttered under his breath, “You hungry Carnage?” The symbiote chuckled, “Famished.” and with that Cletus quickly became Carnage.

The symbiote found his way towards where he heard the voices and came upon the scene that disgusted him. And finally made himself known to the attackers, “Sad to see your mothers couldn’t raise your parasites better, it seems I’ll be doing them a service tonight.” a cynical laugh escaped him. Then he felt the hand of one of the men punch him and with that Carnage showed his ever so sharp teeth, “My turn.” and began to kill each attacker one by one, until they were all ripped to shreds. He was covered in their blood, not that anyone would really be able to tell considering his color. Finally, he turned to see a now unconscious woman, but, not just any woman; Dinah. Carnage looked at the raven haired young woman, usually his instinct would be to take her as a meal.. but this time was different; whether it was because of Cletus or her, Carnage didn’t know but all he simply did was pick up the young woman and took her back to Cletus’ apartment, laying her upon the bed and finally letting Cletus take control once again. Cletus smiled to himself a bit, “Thank you Carnage..” he murmured and simply took a seat on the empty spot next to Dinah. He frowned seeing her this way and took it upon himself to fix her shirt that the men had attempted to take off, then brought his hand to gently a move a few strands of hair back behind her ear, “Don’t worry Dinah, no one will ever hurt you again, we promise.” the tone of two voices coming from one person, because it was a promise both Cletus and Carnage planned on keeping.

After calling her cry for help is when Dinah received another blow to the head. Her world becoming more black now. The last thing Dinah could register was falling hard onto the cold concrete ground. When her world became nothing but darkness is when memories from her past began to play in her head. Most of the memories she began to recollect is from her time in the orphanage and being picked on due to her brains. She had the highest IQ in the whole building and even surpassed the lady that looked after them. Due to this made her walk around with a huge target on her back and if it wasn’t for her best friend, Cletus being her back bone--Dinah wouldn’t know what to think what happened to her. “I promise to video call you once a week with a phone call every day, Kassady.” smiled brightly an eighteen year old Dinah at the twenty year old Cletus. “You would be lost without me.” Her being at the airport with Cletus to drop her off was one of her favorite memories; it was a bittersweet one. Dinah Scuito was leaving to go to the Big Apple on a Stark scholarship for Forensics. She wouldn’t admit it, but Dinah cried on the plane. Not because she was leaving San Francisco behind, but Cletus--the best friend she harbored feelings for.

If is wasn’t her head throbbing constantly, Dinah probably would’ve slept for a few more hours. A low groan escapes her lips as she began to move around on the bed. Realization shot through Dinah like cold water and began to question where she was. Did they bring me back somewhere? she thought. Panic began to rise in her. Oh God, I’m going to end up being found in a bathtub with a kidney missing. Opening up her eyes and taking in the sights of the bedroom she was in, Dinah scurried out of bed and onto her feet. Fighting off the fatigue and remaining on her feet despite feeling dizzy Dinah powered through. She began to dig through the drawers of the nightstand to find a phone but to no avail she did not find one. The Forensic Scientist froze as she heard someone past the bedroom door and fear began to settle more in her petite frame. Scratching her brain to think of something while running a hand through her black locks, her blue eyes stopped on metal alarm clock that rested on the night stand. “That’ll have to do.” Yanking the plug out of the wall and picking it up, Dinah walks over to the door for her predator to come back. Seeing the door knob rattle she rose the alarm clock to above her head. Not taking time to register the appearance of her man Dinah strikes against him when the door opened and he walked in. “Take that you fucking pervert!” the woman roared, her voice so powerful it was a shock someone as tiny as her could be so loud. The alarm clock clashed with the man’s head and brought him down onto his knees. Not letting go of the alarm clock and still gripping it despite the glass being broken, Dinah reels it back to her for another swing against him. She froze though as her eyes finally took in the appearance of him. “Cl...Cletus?” her voice almost childlike.

Realizing that she probably had attacked her savior Dinah throws the alarm clock onto the ground and rushes to his side. “Was it you who found me?” she questions as she helped the childhood friend back onto his feet. “I am so sorry--I will buy you a new alarm clock.” Dinah helps him to the kitchen and sits him down before beginning to dig through his first aid kit. She didn’t do much damage to him, maybe give the back of his head a pretty good scratch with a nasty migraine that would follow. Placing the wet cloth on the minor wound to clean it up, Dinah looks around at the apartment before looking at the ginger. “I guess this is your place and not the pervert’s?”

Taking a seat at a chair across from Cletus she took in her friend’s appearance and made a mental note he had changed, but was still her Cletus. “Thank you.” was all she said after first. “Wh..What happened?” Dinah had to know.

Home Troubles You || Thor & Serenity

@onlyhvmcn

The God chuckles as he shook his head. “Serenity, Father is still sitting on the throne is he not?” He questions the warrior. When he got the answer he was looking for, Thor nods. “Then how come it troubles you so? Ophelia said all was well in Asgard when she went to get a prisoner and bring them here.” Just like Thor did with the warrior in front of him, he always trusted Lady Ophelia--someone who is well trained in the arts of magic. Coming to a stop in the middle of the field the man’s oceanic hues looks around them. There was no one in their sights or in the path of the bifrost. Shaking his head at Serenity’s words Thor raises his hammer into the sky and then a strike of lightning fell down onto him. His midgard clothes of SHIELD were now gone and replaced with clothes worn by Asgardians--a Prince in fact. His blonde locks were no longer in a messy bun, but flowing down a little past his shoulders. Thor had decided to grow it out a little longer, an advice from Pietro who had told him he looked like a Drag Queen trying too hard to dress like the God of Thunder. His eyes look up to the sky, “Heimdall, when you’re ready.” he grins seeing the rainbow colors coming straight down on him. “I don’t see what is troubling you so far.” Thor says smugly to the warrior.

No longer seeing the open fields of Midgard, Thor found himself standing before Heimdall with Asgard behind him. “Hello old friend.” He spoke as he passes past Heimdall. “I would love to stay a chat, but I gotta prove our little warrior here,” Thor places an arm around her and hugs her with a grin on his face. “wrong.” Removing his arm from the warrior Thor kept his eyes on the bridge and took in the beauty of Asgard.

Seeing the horses waiting to take them across the rainbow bridge and into Asgard, Thor looks to the warrior beside him. “You going to stop being stingy and let me teleport you across the bridge or you going to be a stubborn ass and take a horse?” The man questions to which he heard Serenity grumble as she walks by him. He chuckles at her reaction before placing an arm around her and with that spins the hammer, Mjolnir into the direction of their beloved home. Within a few seconds the God and warrior were at the end of the bridge with the market in front of him. He didn’t know why, but seeing the market before him made him remember the good old days. “You remember the days Loki, Ophelia, you and I would come play hide and seek throughout here?” It was damn near impossible on finding the two blessed with the arts of magic, but Serenity? Thor always knew to find her at or near the arena or training grounds. He still remembers how he first met the warrior and of course it was through his arrogance in thinking he could defeat the little girl in battle. When it was all over and Thor on the ground with a black eye, his mother gave him advice. ‘Someone like Serenity is who you should be friends with--not on the other side of her sword.’ Of course Thor returned to the training grounds the next day and asked for her to train him, to train alongside her. He knew of her family and that she will one day be on the front lines with him for he is the son of a King and she is the daughter of a General--it was in their blood. Many didn’t know it despite the four acting like four peas in a pod, Serenity was more so his best friend while Ophelia was Loki’s. “You were almost always easy to find.” then again she didn’t have any magic to make herself disappear.

Walking through the market and becoming greeted by all his subjects, Thor smiled at them all. But it didn’t go unnoticed of Serenity’s sour look. “Okay,” he turns around to face her, stopping the woman dead in her tracks. “what is wrong? You got me here back on Asgard--yay you!” Thor almost sounded childlike when he cheered Serenity on for it. “I know you are not that old, but are you like going through--oh what do them Midgardians call it?” Thor heard Jane’s mother speak of it in the past when he was courting Jane. A light bulb suddenly went off in his head. “Oh, I know--menopause!” Being the ignorant idiot he can be, Thor ignored the stares of those passing the two. “Is that what you are going through?” Thor places a hand on her shoulder. “You need not to be embarrassed Serenity.”
