For All You Sidekicks Out There! [He/It] (Unreality Warning ⚠️)

[sidekickblr]

Well. I'm here now! Hi :]

My hero said I should socialize more

My name's Indigo!

[sidekickblr]

Please, the gargoyle is a coward. If you two truly were enemies, you could detain him easily. I’m not sure he could even manipulate a baby.

-magicblr

Oh, now who are you exactly?

Please, if you're another villain, I have no clue why I'm following you, if you're not a villain then please tell me why there are so many interactions between me, an upstanding hero, and evil-doers.

[magicblr]

Just a wizard. I’m no villain, my only motive is the study of magic!

[sidekickblr]

The study of magic, really? That's interesting, I know of a magic user in the commission but I never met them face to face.

How does one study magic?

[magicblr]

It’s simple! I test magical ingredients, to create stronger potions! All supernatural beings have an inherent magic that can be used in spells! :)

[sidekickblr]

:0 that's interesting!

I've never really looked into magic stuff I think, I'm more of a... Scientific mishap ? If i were to say what I am exactly. I dunno much, just that there was this really cool cloning and revival study done a decade and a half ago and I was a product of it 👍

Why is well known villain Halloween and his henchman in my phone contact list

[sidekickblr]

Why is his henchman's name in my phone "Bestie <3"

[evilblr]

WHY DID YOU BLOCK ME?!?

[sidekickblr]

WHO EVEN ARE YOU ??? WHY IS A VILLAIN'S CONTACT IN MY PHONE IN THE FIRST PLACE ???

[evilblr]

Argyle???? Your best friend???? We hang out whenever my dad and Ceru fight????

Sidekick-henchman solidarity?!??! D:

[sidekickblr]

Please, Cerulean is too good of a hero to allow 'hanging out' to take place during a fight.

Doesn't your blog literally say heroes DNI?

[evilblr]

you’re not a hero, you’re a sidekick! :(

[sidekickblr]

I'm going to be a hero when my internship type thing with Cerulean is done! The commission (the one the government runs, super top secret, only the best for me!) already has a spot for me to fill when I'm old enough.

Wait don’t! Indigo I think you’re having some sort of memory loss? The bestie contact is your friend!

Well I can say I remember everything perfectly for the most part, and I would never be friends with someone so vile. I know I've fought that henchman before.

*Cit. Vaporeon feels a cold shiver run down her. A bad feeling in her gut.*

Sage needs help...

*She tucks Auryn into her bed and texts Sylveon.*

I need you to come to my apartment. It's urgent.

On my way

*Sylveon arrives at the apartment quickly, Cit. Vapor letting her inside.*

Sylve, Sage needs help getting Assistant back home. I can't help her as I need to watch Auryn, but you can. Would you be willing to do that, sweetheart?

Of course.

Ok, take my sword. It won't be as strong for you, but it's something. The sword has a button on the side that activates the water blade. It's easily transported in pen form, do you understand?

Yes, I understand, Vapor.

Okay.

*Cit. Vaporeon gives her gf the pen and hugs Sylveon tight.*

Stay safe, Sylveon.

I will, my love.

*Cit Vapor lets go and cups Sylve's face for a moment.*

Now go save our friend.

@sagehyperfixates

[sageiswherethemageis]

*Meanwhile, Sage is still sobbing in Assistant’s apartment. She stopped screaming when it felt like her throat was going to break*

[evilassistantbutnotmean]

*Alex is lying on the floor and covering his face, silently crying*

[dr-catherine-sherman-owens]

*A few blocks from the apartment building...*

I need to get there and help them... they can't do this alone.

*Cathy starts sprinting, trying to reach the blue building...*

[vaporeon2010317]

*Sylveon reaches the apartment before Cathy, finding Sage and Alex.*

Oh dear... things are really bad, huh?

[evilassistantbutnotmean]

*Alex groans, waving hello to Sylveon without looking up*

[vaporeon2010317]

Hi, Alex... oof, this is not looking good...

*She takes a deep breath; first step : calm the two down.*

Sweetheart, I know you feel bad about this... but we're going to save Assistant. Vapor sent me to help, and I'm going to do my best. For you and for them.

[sageiswherethemageis]

…I failed. I failed. I had this whole plan to save Assistant and then everything happened at once and the plan I made failed. I failed.

[evilassistantbutnotmean]

“Ugh.. I promised Ross I would never let them get taken by anyone., I got here too late.”

*Alex’s voice is uncharacteristically quiet, the sit up and his makeup is smudged, eyeliner streaking down his face from tears, he stands up and sits down next to Sage with a sigh*

“Neither of us failed, sure we got here too late, sure it feels like a failure, but remember that Ross is tough, it’s faced shit we can’t imagine and their still standing, we gotta keep hope that he’s somehow befriended someone to help them out*

[vaporeon2010317]

Exactly. All we need to do is try again and make a new plan. Then we'll save Assistant.

[evilassistantbutnotmean]

“May I throw in my hat? I’ve known Ross the longest of us three, I say we search the city for anything left behind by the foundation, maybe contact this Strawberry Anon that Cathy mentioned, if we get into contact with that Anon, we get our lead to Assistant”

[dr-catherine-sherman-owens]

*A 22 year old woman with magenta hair, clear glasses, and hazel eyes rushes in, seeming to have runned over quickly.*

I'M HERE, AND I'M GONNA HELP SAGE WHETHER SHE LIKES OR NOT!

*She catches her breath, noticing Sylveon and Alex in the room.*

Oh, sorry I.. don't think we've met. Catherine Owens, but people call me Cathy for short.

[vaporeon2010317]

Looks like we found her, Alex. I go by my username, Sylveon2010.

@evilassistantbutnotmean

[evilassistantbutnotmean]

“Yo, im Ro- Assistants partner, im Alex”

*Alex throws a peach sign to Cathy, not seeming to be bothered by the obvious tear tracks on his face*

[dr-catherine-sherman-owens]

Nice to meet you two. So, what are we thinking? Try to contact Straw anon to get more info?

[evilassistantbutnotmean]

“Thinking about it, that’s my best guess, Sage you got any ideas?”

[sageiswherethemageis]

Anything I come up with will probably crash and burn…Besides, my mind is blank.

Her pupils are still weirdly faded and dull. She hasn’t moved from her spot facing the wall the bastards that took her friend left through. Her tears have stalled, but other than that there hasn’t been much of any change.

[vaporeon2010317]

Oh, love...

*She goes over and hugs Sage...*

[sageiswherethemageis]

My magic isn’t working. I’m at full capacity. So it’s just me. It’s not that I don’t have enough strength to open a portal, it’s that I can’t open a portal. And I don’t even know why.

Portals…S.V. came through a portal. How did she do that? I never asked.

[evilassistantbutnotmean]

“That my friend, is called Shock, you gotta give yourself a second before winding up to do magic, when Ross lost the ability to put up their glamor it was due to stress, magic from what I’ve seen is linked to emotions, so if your shocked and can’t think, your magic doesn’t know what to do”

*Ross cleans up glass shard, grabbing a broom and sweeping up the debris*

[vaporeon2010317]

I can text Vapor to try and see if we can get S.V. over here. She could likely help.

[dr-catherine-sherman-owens]

I don't know who S.V. is, but I have a feeling we'll need all hands on deck for this.

[evilassistantbutnotmean]

“Agreed, I’ll call in Halloween and Cerulean”

( @evilblr @sidekickblr )

[sidekickblr]

Cerulean doesn't have my phone anymore. I got it back after waking up.

Plus, why would I help a villain in the first place?

[evilassistantbutnotmean]

*Alex pulls a face at the text he recived, but answers anyway*

Weeell, you remember when you and Argyle got kidnapped? That was scary right? Well wouldn’t it be fair to help Assistant when they helped you? Equivalent exchange and all that

-friend

[sidekickblr]

Me and who? You're talking crazy, I wouldn't expect less from an evil person though.

[evilblr]

It's Cerulean. We found Indigo. Well, not me, some of the other heroes, and sadly the shady government jerks, I don't know what happened before I met up with them. But Indigo was unconscious, and dehydrated, with a few scrapes and bruises- but he's okay. He's just in the hospital for a bit, he'll make a quick recovery.

Nothing to worry too much over. I'll hand him his phone when he wakes up.

He ok? You sure?

[sidekickblr]

He's okay. He's breathing well, no major injuries. We got an IV hooked up so he gets hydrated. We just gotta wait for him to wake up. It won't be too long I'm sure of it.

[evilassistantbutnotmean]

I’m glad he’s ok and found! I was worried sick, care to burn down that facility and the humans that took indigo?

[sidekickblr]

This is my workplace.

Indigo wasn't taken, he was lost in the tunnels underneath the government facility- and I just wasn't on the rescue/search team that found him first.

But I'm glad Indigo has people willing to do that for him.

[sidekickblr]

@evilblr Hey, it's Ceru.

We found Indigo's phone not too long ago. It needed to be charged and the glass cover replaced but otherwise it's okay.

...no sign of Indigo yet, but I'm sure he's alive at the very least.

[evilassistantbutnotmean]

Any way I can help out finding Indigo? I’ve kinda been worried about the kid

[sidekickblr]

I don't think so. He went missing in the tunnels under a government building. I don't think I could sneak any villains here, it's a hassle trying to get myself in.

[sidekickblr]

[evilblr]

:(

[sidekickblr]

Don't worry kid. Me and my team are already doing everything we can to find him.

...I don't want to but we may need some of those shady government guys to help out.
