Jane Doe: Chapter Three
-A MHA ISEKAI
Jane Doe: Chapter 2
OMG GUESS WHO 😍
(Female pronouns used)
Tw: graphic detail of pain
As the weeks went by, Japan started to cool down.
You caught every single interview he had on the news, you’ve read everything single headline about him since he visited the little comic book shop where you worked. Very unfortunately, you have not seen him in person again, none such lucky run ins like the last two times have happened sadly.
You were promoted to manager at said quaint little shop which you were happy about, but you weren’t exactly itching to stay working at this place, you eventually wanted to move on to better paying things. You wondered about how your world and his could possibly overlap again. You couldn’t exactly become a hero, so it had to be corporate related right? Then you started wondering what would go into working at a pros agency or even becoming a pro hero’s PA. Did you need some sort of degree? You had time, you were down to try and get a certification.
You were locking up the shop when you were in one such moments of pondering when a small, icy, white fleck drifted down from the clouds above and landed on the tip of your nose. Your eyes drifted up to the sky as you turned around. Snow.
Winter had arrived.
You smiled widely as it greeted you.
The week went on quite uneventfully, which you were thankful for because these days, the cold was making you ache.
The ache that started to befall you was eerily similar as when you first transmigrated.
It was dull and debilitating. Making your body feel heavy, your ribs feel bruised and your head fuzzy.
You wanted to blame it completely on the cold but you didn’t know if you could. This type of pain was enough to make you feel like you needed a wheel chair on the extra bad days.
This was worrying.
On one such days where you had flared up quite badly, you started zoning out quite often. Your eyes defocusing and not refocusing when you tried to force them to. You started saying things wrong or completely out of order and your boss ended up noticing.
“You. My office please.” He said.
Oh no….
You expected a reprimanding, a shouting at or something similar. Your boss had been prone to mood swings so you never knew if you were getting angry or mega mad whenever you spoke to him, especially if one had mad a mistake and he found out about it.
What you weren’t expecting was for him to be kind.
“You’ve been overdoing it. I know you’re not the strongest health wise, so don’t push yourself so hard to the point where you’re basically unable to function.”
Your jaw went slack in awe just ever so slightly.
“You’ll give my shop a bad rep, making everyone think I run a sweatshop!” He laughs with a crooked half grin. “Go home, warm up, take a pain killer and get some sleep.”
“I’m not fired?”
He looks at you with wide eyes, eyebrows raised, “Fired?!? No! Your job’ll still be here for you when you come back on Monday next week. Take the next two days to rest up and when you come back, work hard.” He said with a look of genuine care and kindness in his eyes. Something you hadn’t seen in him since well… ever.
“Th-thank you sir… I uhm… I don’t know what to say.”
“Just say thanks and get outta here!” He says with a wave of his hand as he sits down at his desk.
You give him a smile before bowing slightly, placing your shop keys on the table and then backing out the room. You stood in the hall for a second, processing the moment. You didn’t think the man was capable of smiling, what a nice turn of events.
So you packed up your things, trying to ignore how your ribcage felt like it was about to implode and how your hips felt like they were about to dislocate. You slug your back over your shoulder with a wince before heading to your car. ‘No locking up shop in the cold, dark street for me tonight.’
You unlock your car and throw your bag onto the passenger seat with a smile on your face but it doesn’t last very long.
Just before you sit down your head rings. A stabbing pain starting from your jaw appears then migrates to behind your eyes, to the middle of your forehead then the back of your brain. You stand up abruptly to try and reorient yourself, bad idea. The blood can’t get there quick enough. Small little sparks of light float across your vision as your head drones. Your knees buckle and you grab onto your car for any sort of support as your vision starts to blacken but your hand slips on the ice that had formed on the roof of the vehicle during the work day. So you fall forward, your stomach slamming onto the drivers seat.
Then your feet get pins and needles as your neck looses its strength, your skull feeling like it’s suddenly heavy and your head drifts down to rest against the centre console.
Then your hearing goes.
A soft ringing.
Then you’re out.
6 hours later
You jolt awake, almost throwing up from how uncomfortable the position is that you’re in.
“UGH OW…” You grab your head as you finally sit down, pulling your legs into the car weakly. “What..?” You blinked before realising that the sky was dark and the street was completely quiet as snowflakes floated down. Your eyes widened and you immediately reached for your bag to check the time on your phone.
Your hands were unsteady and your body felt like it was falling apart and now your whole lower half was freezing cold from dangling outside the car for 6 hours.
You groaned in frustration as your irritatingly non-complacent hands dug through your bag. You finally found the small infernal device and pulled it up, only for a pang of anxiety to echo through your chest as the screen illuminates your face.
10:43 pm.
Almost 4 hours after closing time.
You immediately shut the door and shoved your keys into the ignition, the car humming to life.
‘I want to go home I want to go home I want to go home’
Was all that was on your mind as you pulled out from the alley.
‘Why had no one come back here or come to check on me???? Did no one come outside for a smoke break or something???’
You didn’t yearn for the comfort of granny and grandpas cottage that you had gotten used to, you wanted YOUR bed. YOUR kitchen. YOUR teddy bears. YOUR HOME.
You desperately sped down the street, making a beeline straight for the nearest hospital that you drove past every day on your way to work.
‘I feel sick…’
Your head was slightly spinning and it was very disorienting.
You drive down the street for a good 10 minutes as the white snowy landscape flies by past you, you almost get comfortable, relax a little.
Then suddenly the engine of your car came sputtering to a halt.
“No…”
As if things couldn’t get worse…
You pulled over to the side of the road and rested your head on the steering wheel of your silent vehicle. Before pushing the door open and popping the hood. It seemed like your car actually just decided it was done. That it was tired and gave up.
Tears started to slip from your eyes, feeling cold against your chilled skin.
Your body was hurting you so much right now, you could barely breathe.
So you grabbed your bag and opened maps on your phone before manually locking your car with your key and walking away from it. Thing was busted and old anyway and you were going to take it to the scrapyard soon anyway, you didn’t care if it got stolen at this point. Then you started walking. You wanted the hospital, so there you were going to go. They needed to hook you up to some magic iv or something because this pain had to GO.
About 20 minutes into walking, you realise that the map had frozen about 13 minutes back due to there being no signal in the area that you were in. You looked around you and realised you had no option but to go back because everything looked the same and you were already feeling confused. You weren’t making it to the hospital with your mental map, not with the state that you were in:
So you dragged your tired body back the way you came, past your broken down car and back to the comic book shop.
When you finally got there, you weakly knocked on the back door, looked in through the windows and desperately hoped someone was still there, the boss’s fiancé catching up on paperwork, anybody…
But no one was. So you collapsed outside of the front door, sliding down the glass until you were sat in the powered snow.
You bring your cellphone up to your face and check the signal before checking the map again. Every breath you were taking stinging your lungs with unforgiving winter air and unrelenting pain. You flinched as a liquid droplet plopped down onto your screen. Your brows knitted together as you stared at this blotch of a dark looking color against the bright, white, digital map. Till another dripped down. Your hand reached for your face and touched just under your nose before pulling away to inspect the wetness.
Blood.
Your head falls back against the glass as you stare up at the snowfall around you.
You sat there, defeated, for 12 minutes.
Then you forced yourself to your feet, using the door handles to pull yourself up then started walking toward the city lights as blood trickled down from your nose to your lips then staining your jacket.
The city lights looked so pretty to your blurry eyes.
You thought maybe someone would reach out to you, ask if you were okay, if you needed help but surprise surprise, as luck would have it there was NO ONE AROUND BESIDES 3 DRUNKARDS HEADING TO THE HOTEL TOGETHER AND 1 BLIND PERSON WITH A CANE.
You walked for what felt like hours, hoping you’d happen upon a hero or just anyone really who would help you. Every step you took made you feel like your meat was tearing off your bones. You’d never felt so desperate for help in your life.
Eventually you walked towards a light post in a residential district and just sat down. Looked like a decent enough area, big modern looking houses. When you woke up tomorrow morning, somebody would see you in the street and help you, you were sure of it. After all, didn’t people change after the war..?
All you could hear was the sound of your own breathing, or your own heaving rather, as your body stopped functioning. You blinked once, then twice.
A clear open sky above you and the warm light of the streetlamp.
Once then twice. It was cold.
Once, twice. So cold.
Once.
Blonde spikes.
Once. Then nothing.
~
1:03 am.
You woke up on an unfamiliar couch near an unfamiliar heater.
The room smelt of blood, salt and burnt sugar. To be specific, you smelt like blood and salt. The very lavish couch cushions smelt faintly of burnt sugar.
You sat up and groaned, your body tired but your head clearer.
“When am I ever going to run into you normally.”
You heard a low voice behind you.
You turned your head and your heart warmed.
“Dynamight…”
“You wanna tell me why you were sitting with a nose bleed in the middle of the street at 11 pm at night?”
“…. I felt sick…” you look down at your legs as you recount the events of the day. “So I was sent home early….”
“I take it you never made it home?”
You pull your lips tight. “I fainted when I got to the car.”
“And no one saw you?”
“Apparently not…”
“So why didn’t you drive home after you woke up? Seems like the logical thing to do?”
“I… I started heading for the hospital. Then my car broke down…. Tried walking but the signal died… then walked back to the shop but no one was there then just started… walking.” Your voice was small. Unlike the last time you and he had talked.
…
“And now here we are.”
“… and now here we are…”
…
You raised your head and looked around. The place was well put together, very clean and well decorated. It suited him perfectly.
“Am I in your home?” You asked, already knowing the answer.
“Obviously.”
“Why?”
“The only hospital near us is dealing with survivors of a villain attack that burned down their building. And you didn’t look sick enough for me to take you there.”
You felt your chest squeeze.
“Thanks.”
“Was I wrong.”
“Huh?” You looked up to where he was sat. He was in a black tank top with black baggy sweatpants, sporting mismatched socks.
“Was I wrong to assume you weren’t sick enough, comic store clerk.” His voice was unwavering and there was an edge to them but there was worry in his words.
You avert your gaze and furrow your brows, “… I don’t know… I feel a bit better now but… not to be dramatic or anything, but I… I felt like I was dying…”
…
The room fell deafeningly quiet.
He sighed.
“Where’d your car break down?”
“Sorry?”
“Damn woman, are you deaf????? WHERE DID YOUR CAR BREAK DOWN.” He stands up from his seat and grabs his phone. “I’ll call someone to get it towed.”
“I don’t have tow money-“
“Did I say I was letting you pay? I said I was getting it towed.”
“… ok…”
You explained to him round about where the car was sitting and after a few minutes the people are on their way.
Then he makes his way to the kitchen and starts rummaging through a white plastic bag. Must be why he was out in the street, he was coming back from a trip to the convenience store.
“I hope you don’t think I’m creepy…ending up in your street…” you say, putting your feet down on the wooden floor as you turn to face the heater.
“Oh I think you’re plenty creepy.”
You chuckle. He scoffs.
“But I don’t think you were stalking me if that’s what you’re worried about.”
“I don’t even know what area we’re in everything started to look the same about 10 minutes after i started walking.” You smile as you reach your hands to warm them up by the heater. Trying to make light of your situation.
The rustling paused.
“You think this is funny?”
You flinched then turned your head to face him.
“I was just trying to lighten the mood-“
“You were sitting there in the cold, middle of the night, blood pouring down your face and barely breathing. There’s no mood to lighten.”
…
“Sorry.” You looked down.
“Why didn’t you call someone?”
…
Why didn’t you call someone? Granny would have dropped everything to come pick you up, why didn’t you call her?
“…. I… didn’t think to…”
You never called people. You didn’t really know anyone. People never called you. You hadn’t made a lot of friends in the time you’ve been here, you’ve just been trying to make it from one day to the next.
“So you are just a dumbass, okay.”
“I could call you.” You smiled.
“Never in your life, you fan.” He says as he opens a granola bar and bites into it.
You laugh, the tension that was keeping your chest tight finally releasing.
“Hey at least you finally have a fan, aren’t you glad?” You retort.
His eyebrow twitches. You’re not exactly wrong but he doesn’t like that you’re right.
“Be glad I didn’t leave you on the street.”
“My bad Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight.” You say sarcastically with a dramatic courtesy.
He gives you a MEAN side eye before tossing a similar snack bar to the one he’s eating in your direction. It hits you square on the crown of the head “AUWA!”
“Ungrateful ass….”
You look down at it and you suddenly feel very hungry.
“Can I have this?” You ask, pointing down that it.
He gives you a blank stare.
“No I just threw it at you because I wanted to- YES. EAT IT.”
A few minutes of snacking later, you decide you are painfully sick and tired of your stinky blood stained clothing and decide to get up from the couch. Your legs aren’t fully with you so you stumble, grabbing onto the arm for support. The sound makes him lift his head from his current task of giving his gauntlets some TLC as finishes his own snack bar, holding it with his teeth while he works.
“Nuh uh uh uh sit your dizzy ass back down.” He exclaims from the other side of the room, placing down the small wrench he was holding on the granite counter and taking the bar out of his mouth.
“No no- I best be going, I’ve already intruded and eaten your food… I feel bad… I should be heading home-“
“In what car? You plan to walk again? End up in the same situation, passed out in the street, 20 minutes from now?”
“I’ll be okay, I feel a decent bit better! Plus I really want a warm bath and my warm bed right now…” you say, stretching your back.
“No.” He stands up from where he’s sitting and grabs his car keys. “If you want to go, then I’ll drive you.”
You immediately reach your hands “No no no no no, you’ve already let me into your home which is compromising you as a pro, I can’t possibly-“
“I wasn’t exactly asking.” He states, holding your bag out to you by its strap.
You walk around the couch and reach for it but as soon as the support isn’t there anymore, your head buzzes and your balance fails you.
When you’re aware again a second later, there’s an arm wrapped around you and a chest pressed against yours. Your hands instinctively grab at the first thing they can to steady yourself, which happen to be his biceps. You gulp. “Told you, you should have sat down…” His voice at this close proximity sends a chill right through you. His body was warm and he smelt so so so nice. For someone so angry all the time he smelt SO INVITING AND COMFORTING.
You pull your hands away and tuck them behind your back as you try to peel your eyes away from his cleavage, you’re no better than a man omg. Actually no, even a man would be looking if another man this well built was close to him, we all know that.
He retracts his arm after he makes sure you not about to plummet to the ground after he lets go and drapes your bag over your shoulder before wordlessly turning toward the door.
“You coming or what? It’s too late for this. I need to go to bed.”
Omg.
‘NOBODY come and save me I’m EXACTLY where I want to be.’
WHAT DO WE THINK I DIDNT GET ANY SLEEP LAST NIGHT BECAUSE I WAS WRITING THIS 😛😛😛

BEWARE OF GLIMMER!!!! ARTISTS AND FANFICTIONERS!!!!!
ITS AI!!!!!!!
You might think omg fun a choices based fanfic, the writer must have spent so much time on this! but NO IT IS GENERATIVE AI SLOP.
It requires a person to write a bit of story to get an idea then it just goes for it and generates a story around either the og “writer’s” prompts or the ones you make yourself. You can pick up on the inconsistencies right away. DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!!!!
It’s sickening to see. Ai is NOT fanfiction and it never will be!
I really wish there was a fanfic site out there that you could do this with akin to the games episode or choices but ,unfortunately, no luck as of now. And with generative ai on the rise we might never see the day we get a true, passionate, choose your own adventure fanfiction website. Unless it comes as a rebellious act against ai. (Which I am 100% down for)
The company behind glimmer claims to be ethical, they are NOT. If they truly believed in human creation and that ai could never replace the human writer, they would program a PROPER website that the user can program their own story on with preset choices MADE BY A PERSON WITH HOURS OF HARD WORK GOING INTO IT.
BEWARE OF GLIMMER.
It’s super sad to see how people on here on tumblr are actually posting their glimmer stories like it isn’t a crime against the artist.
Hopped back on picrew, reawakened something in myself omg.

~A MHA ISEKAI
Took me a while gang because I got sick again 🔥 but here I am 😛
(Female Pronouns used)
Jane Doe: Chapter 1
Tw: mentions of death.(you know what it do.)
Two months have passed.
You’ve slowly been making your place in this world. Very slowly, but it is indeed happening.
Granny and Grandpa have been a huge help by letting you continue to stay with them to and you had been promoted at the comic shop. Business was great and you had even started doing marketing for the store which earned you some extra income.
This afternoon you were taking some photos of some of the new ARTFX figures that were going up for sale soon to upload them to the store’s website before closing up shop for the day. You took the pictures with your favourite little digicam you bought at the thrift shop a couple weeks ago that has become your new favourite item as of late. You keep it with you 24/7 and it takes such charming photos, perfect for a retro themed comic book shop. Well… retro in this era atleast.
The sun slowly sets, casting the perfect golden glow on the figure in front of you.
“Ugh gorgeous…” you whisper.
But just as you’re about to take the shot, your eye drifts to two silhouettes against the bright orange sun. Your feet lead you to the door and the little bell attached to frame rings as you pull the door open and step outside to take a closer look, your curiosity getting the better of you.
It’s picturesque.
You lift up the little camera and zoom in, framing the two people drifting together in the sky perfectly.
As their forms come into focus, you recognise them immediately and chuckle.
A woman and a man, Pros.
The woman grabs the collar of the man’s hero suit and pulls him closer, shoving her face onto his.
Deku and Uravity.
You snap the picture as a smile spreads across your face.
“Ever heard of privacy?” A voice suddenly says from your left, giving you the fright of your life.
“EUGH-“ You jump, your head instantly snapping to the source of this voice.
Your eyes widened.
He raised an eyebrow.
“Uhm…. Y-yeah…” you replied, clearing your throat and hiding the camera behind your back. “Was just… admiring the… sunset?”
“Right. Damn tabloid photographers…. Can’t even afford proper cameras anymore or what?…” Mumbled the spiky blond haired hero.
You scoff at that statement. “My camera is great, thank you, and I work at the shop you’re currently standing in front of.” You inform, bringing your eyes back to the two floating about happily in the sky.
The moment draws quiet as you simmer in that comment.
…
“Didn’t know this rickety old joint was still standing.” He says. You bring your eyes to him as he gazes at the store. You were quite taken aback at how quickly he could go from insult to reminiscence, “Used to come here often?” You ask.
“As a kid. Figured it got wrecked though.” He responds.
“In the war?”
“Where else dumbass.”
“My bad. Wasn’t around when that all went down.” You laugh.
“What, were you born last week?”
You smile, funny how weird that statement was compared to the truth.
“So what’s a big shot like you doing down town?” You enquire, bringing your eyes back to the sun, the two subjects of your photograph no longer frolicking among the rays, bringing a slight frown to your face.
“I’m with dumb and dumber.” He gestures with a point of his thumb over his shoulder in the direction Midoriya and Uraraka used to be.
“And you’re taking the scenic route why?”
“I don’t need to explain myself to you.”
You scoff.
“Right.”
…
“You get my letter?” You ask as the sun starts to fade away behind the city line, switching the digicam off.
His eyes drift over to you with a scowl on his face as you fiddle with the little machine. He gives you a once over and is about to insult you and tell you how he doesn’t remember much of any extra he meets but he pauses just as the words are about to fly out.
You.
He swallows what he was about to say and grabs the handle of the shops glass door. “Yeah I got your stupid letter. Left an orange stain on my tit for a week.” He says before pushing it open and stepping inside.
Your attention goes to the sound and you quickly follow suit. “We’re closed.”
“Seem open enough to me.” He says, shrugging off his gauntlets and placing them down before beelining straight to the trading cards.
“You like the candy?” You tried to keep some conversation going as you slipped behind the counter.
“No.” He answered, sifting through the older packs.
“Aww why?”
“Melted.”
“Oh… gross.”
“Yeah.”
….
You sighed, ‘He isn’t in a chatty mood I guess’ you told yourself.
You started packing up your stuff to go home and about 7 minutes later, he places a ton of stuff on the counter and stares at you with an expressionless look on his face. “Do your job.”
You blink.
“…. Are you for real right now?”
He blinks.
….
“I’m literally getting ready to leave..”
…
“… alright…”
You sling your bag over your shoulder with a groan and start ringing up his items silently and lethargically.
…
“You didn’t need to thank me. Or atleast you could have waited till we ran into each other when I wasn’t speeding past at Mach 7 and almost ripping your arm off.”
…
“Now or never right?” You joke.
“Suicidal much?” He retorts.
You chuckle. “Maybe you shouldn’t make that joke considering our first meeting.”
His turn to scoff!
“Is that what you were trying to do? Kill yourself? butt ass naked? Jumping off the highest building in the city?” He says, a mocking look on his face. But his eyes conveyed something different. His eyes weren’t mocking you like his outward appearance was.
“…. No… no I was…” KEEP UP THE ACT, AMNESIA GIRL. “I actually don’t remember why I was up there… I don’t know how I got up there or who I was before then… You paid for my hospital bills, so I’m sure they called you and told you I lost my memory.” Little lies sprinkled with a little truth. You truly don’t know why whatever force decided that you would plummet from the sky after getting isekai’ed so it’s not like that part was made up. You finish ringing up the last pack of trading cards and the 4 Silver Age graded All Might comics plus one in box All Might figure before placing them in a brown paper bag.
“No. I don’t take calls.”
…
“…You’re a good hero Dynamite.” You say, a soft smile on your lips as he pays for his things.
You can see his shoulders tense. “I’m the best alright?” He tries to play it off as if what you said didn’t mean something to him. “And I don’t need some damn comic book shop cashier to remind me.” He picks up his gauntlets and slips them on before grabbing the bag and promptly making his exit.
You laugh as he makes his way down the sidewalk. “Goodnight!” You shout in hopes that he was still with in earshot to hear you. What a pleasant encounter.
You clean up then lock up for the night, flipping the light switch before heading out the back door. You stretched as you walked to the little car that sat in the alley that you were borrowing from gramps, feeling pretty happy about the day you’ve had. Your body ached for a yummy meal and your bed.
“So nice to be upgraded from ‘extra’ to ‘damn comic book cashier’. Progress is progress I guess.” You giggle as you start up the car and drive home.
OMG????? CUTE??????? Or am I tweaking because it’s 4 am.

(𓁹‿ 𓁹)
Hmmhmhmhmhmhhehehehe
Jane Doe: Prologue
TW: mentions of anxiety and death ( mhm becoming a regular thing 😛)
Female pronouns
You woke up at about 11 am this morning, body aching.
You had indeed struggled to go to bed last night because of the pain you were in but that was seemingly going to be a regular thing for the time being so you tried not to think too hard about it or dwell on it any longer to spare you some sanity.
You had been moved out of urgent care and significantly less cables were attached to you in your much more comfortable room in another wing of the hospital.
You were living at the hospital indefinitely since you had ‘no memory’, no birth certificate, no emergency contacts and most importantly no where to stay.
You were a ‘Medical mystery’. So you were treated quite well and set up with a lot to keep you comfortable, since tests were being run on you everyday. Pretty lucky that the protocols for how people were treated in such situations are drastically different from the world you came from and had seemingly changed after the big fight with All For One that levelled more than half of Japan. So they don’t want another Shigaraki to happen, fair enough. You were quite pleased that you were being treated like a living human being rather than a test subject.
Everything was paid for and things were as comfortable as they could be with the current circumstances, so you tried not to stress yourself out too much.
it has been 4 months since you’ve awoken from your coma and you’ve been doing great work at physio. When you looked at yourself in the mirror for the first time after you woke up, you were basically just skin. And bone. Being in a coma that long would make you lose an extreme amount of muscle mass, it was simply logical.
Investigators and police officers have been in an out of this place to talk to you almost everyday, you were frankly very sick of it. There was 0 trace of your existence, it was bizarre to them. Your DNA proved that you were, indeed, quirkless but it also showed that your genetic makeup essentially hadn’t evolved to the norm of a quirkless human today. Which made sense to you but left every single medical professional, that had come into contact with you, perplexed. After a while however, your body started to adapt, slowly trying to keep up with the pace that this world functioned on. Luckily the DNA analyses sessions stopped right before that started happening, so you were simply labeled as a medical zebra and that was that, no further tests could be done at the moment.
Today was special though. You were psyching yourself up for an interview this afternoon with an elderly couple who were willing to give you lodgings, free of charge, until you could find your footing as a new member of society. Things had indeed changed ALOT after Shigaraki’s defeat. Everybody was scared that if they didn’t do a little extra to be kind to someone, that they could end up back in the same situation again that tore the country apart. So everyone was doing just a little extra to help out here and there to keep up the good karma. Which was a huge score for you.
The hospital had prepared you a walking stick and suitable clothes to wear for the day ahead of you, which you were grateful for and your police escort would be arriving in about 17 minutes so you had little time to finish up.
After you were all dressed and ready, you packed up the tiny little bag of things the hospital provided you with dumbing your stay that you would be able to keep then stood in the doorway looking back at the room. You took in a deep breath, your eyes scanning over everything before extending the cane and heading down the hallway. The cane was uncomfortable and hurt your hand as you pushed down on it but you would have been worse off walking on your own two feet.
You got checked out and the nurse that had tended to you got a bit teary eyed as you both said your goodbyes.
You felt your hurt thumping in your chest as you went with each wobbly step nearer to the exit.
All that your life for the past 4 months have consisted of were hospital walls, gurneys and drips. It was sort of nerve wracking to go outside again for the first time since you transmigrated. The doors slid open and you squinted as the sun reflected off a shiny white cop car parked just across the way.
A black haired man in causal blue button up and black trousers stepped out the vehicle and gave you a soft smile. He walked around the car and quickly headed toward you to assist you and introduce himself.
“My name is officer Yamamoto, I’ll be your escort today Miss.” he said bowing slightly before showing you his badge. You quickly glanced over to it then nervously bowed in return. “Nice to meet you officer..” “This way if you would.” He offered his arm for you to hold onto as he lead you to the car and as you reached it he quickly opened the passenger door for you. “I figure more leg room would be nice since Nurse Ikeda informed me that you had trouble bending your knees.” He gestures to the open seat. You smile awkwardly “o-oh thank you! Yeah… recovery has been… rough haha…” You huff in acknowledgement, rubbing the back of your neck. “Thanks…” you carefully slip into the seat before resting the walking stick on your knee and placing your bag on the ground between your feet for the journey.
The Officer gets in on the drivers side and shuts the door. He then enters the address for the old couple’s home into his gps before starting the car. “If you need anything at all let me know alright?” He says with a smile as he checks the mirrors. “Thank you, Officer Yamamoto.” Then the two of you set off.
The drive through the city was decently peaceful and thankfully quiet as ou didn’t have much you wanted to discuss with the man sitting next to you. You watched the buildings that you passed by and even caught a glimpse of Mt Lady fighting in the distance which was cool. Really cool.
When you had checked the gps again you were almost at your destination, which made you anxious. You really REALLY didn’t want to screw this up, this was such an amazing opportunity. If you messed up this interview, you would essentially be homeless. You knew how sketchy you must have come across as, say something weird or out of pocket now and you’ll be put under permanent surveillance or something. The couple lived in a fairly small, comfortable home in the suburbs of New Hosu City. They had a cottage on their plot which they had built for their son who sadly passed away soon after the city had been rebuilt. Instead of tearing it down, they wanted to put it to good use by offering it to people in need.
You were indeed someone in need.
As the car came to a stop in their driveway, you took a second to compose yourself. Officer Yamamoto got out first but you didn’t even noticed because you were so busy trying not to panic. So when he pulled the door open to help you out, you jumped. He jumped in return because you scared him by him accidentally scaring you. Your eyes snapped to him “omg I’m so sorry, I didn’t NOT mean to catch such a fright…” “No need to apologise ma’am, I didn’t mean to scare you.” He laughs before offering his hand. You take a deep breath to calm yourself before reaching down to pick up your bag and sling it over your shoulder. With cane in hand, you take his offer to help you and get out of the car. You place your stick to the ground and smooth out the creases in your trousers.
The next few moments went past in a blur and now you’re seating on a couch with sweat dripping down your left temple because grandma does NOT LIKE YOU. She’s been scowling at you since you greeted her and you have NO IDEA WHYYYY. You’ve been giving short and sweet answers to every question asked and you’ve avoided her gaze as best you can because you were pretty sure if you made eye contact she was going to throw you out. She throws in a side remark every few seconds about how youngsters these days are always looking to use people who offer help, free load and cause chaos. You assume the person the couple helped before you was a nightmare to deal with and it’s left a bad taste in her mouth. Her husband has been nothing but kind which you deeply appreciated. “I plan to repay you for your kindness as soon as I get a job sir and madam, I promise-“ “N’ HOW LONG IS THAT GOING TO TAKE HMMMM? YOU COULD KEEP LYING ABOUT HOW YOU KEEP GETTING REJECTED, HOW YOU’RE TRYING SO HARD BUT ALL YOU’RE DOING IN ACTUALITY IS SITTIN AROUND SMELLING YOUR OWN FARTS AND LETTING TRASH PILE UP AND LETTING THE TAP DRIP LIKE EVIL YOUNG THING THAT YOU ARE-“ “Dear, be nice…” your hands squeezed into fists and you grimaced. The old woman kept going on and on and on and her husband tried to calm her down. “Madam… I… I understand your frustrations. I can’t prove to you in this moment the type of person that I am or how trustworthy I can be, no amount of words could change what you already believe, but please...” You look down at your legs. “I want to feel like a person… a person who lives in a house, goes on walks, goes for job interviews, sleeps in a warm bed without the smell of sickness and medicine constantly filling the room … I don’t want to live in a hospital anymore… so I’m begging you…” You stand up with all the strength you can muster. Your legs wobble but you force them straight. Then you lower your head and bow, bringing your arms to your sides. “Please let me live here and learn how to person again. I swear I will do my utmost to not let you down.”
The room falls silent.
You silently hope that someone will speak up soon because you are getting dizzy in the position that you’re in.
“… after my son died…” The old woman starts. You lift your head in surprise.
“Everything was different…” Her voice is hushed and her eyes are focused on a picture frame sitting on a cabinet just behind the couch you were sitting on a minute ago. “We built that little cottage in the yard for him to come home and recover in. He was injured by a villain during the nationwide battle 8 years ago trying to save a little girl that was trapped under rubble. Akito was such a kind boy…” she tears up. You sit down as a sad expression takes it place on your face. “We visited him as much as we could while he was in the ICU, told him that he WAS going to get better and come home soon.” He sniffs, wiping her cheek as her brows knit together. “Eventually I started telling myself that if we could finish building the cottage that he would magically heal. That was all we needed to do. Just as we did finish the damn thing, the Hospital called, Akito had passed away in his sleep the night prior. He wrote us a letter Y’know? Said that he didn’t want that room to go to waste, that we should use it to help others. He was interning at Crimson Riot’s agency just before he died.”
You could feel your heat squeeze in your chest. That was an inconsolable wound that would never heal. You felt so bad for them. “I’m.. so so sorry for your loss.” You managed to say. “Girl.” She says sternly. “Can you swear that you’ll respect us enough to do your best to become someone good? That if we give you this, you won’t use us?”
You automatically straighten your posture. “I will do my utmost.”
Her husband and her share a look before nodding. “You can stay.”
You smile widely. “Thank you!!!!”
12 weeks later.
Your physio has been going super well and you had gotten a small job at a local comic book shop since you liked comics a lot in your old world and read a bunch of new ones that belonged to the neighbours kid that the elderly couple would babysit from time to time, which you helped out with. You also had made a point to your self that you would somehow thank Dynamight for saving you that day and paying for your treatments, so one day before bed you just drew out a small note and sticky taped a caramel candy in it and kept it with you at all times. It wasn’t something you actually intended to give him since it was so janky but was comforting to keep on you.
One day you’re walking to your job calmly, taking in the scenery when an explosion is heard down the street, you immediately try to take cover but when you see a very suspicious looking man holding a very big bag stuffed with money that’s overflowing and falling out while he’s running, you raise a brow in confusion. In that same second a very loud voice is heard flying in this direction “GET BACK HERE YOU DAMN THIEF I’M GONNA KILL YOU!!!!!!” You feel a flutter in your chest.
Omg…
You quickly dig through your bag to find that little note you wrote. “Cmon cmon cmon!!!” You had a lot of random nonsense in there which hadn’t really bothered you before but was really really annoying right now. “YES!” You exclaim pulling out the orange envelope that said ‘To Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight’ adorned with a Miku sticker. You dashed out from behind cover and was just able to catch him in time as he flew by, slipping the note into the raised collar of his hero suit. One second he was there the next he was already down the street. The blow back from his quirk sent you tumbling to the ground, covering your ears as you laughed. You looked in the direction he went and smiled widely. You carefully got yourself back onto your feet and fixed your hair, starting back on the walk to work with an extra pep in your step.
00:45 AM
Heavy boots pad against the wooden floorboards as that singular moment replays over and over.
Bright eyes that looked right at him.
“Stupid woman.. could have ripped her own arm off.”
Buckles klink and clothes rustle as they fall to the ground around his ankles, his skin coated in the grime of the day.
He makes his way to the bathroom and flips the light switch on and as he does, a bright orange rectangle catches his attention from the corner of his eye in the mirror. He squints to get a better look then looks down at his chest. To his surprise there is indeed an orange paper stuck to his pec. He furrows his brows as he peels it off, the sweat from the day and the compression of his suit must have made it adhere to his body. “The hell? Where did you come from?” He flips it around and sees the big black words on the front. “Fan mail??? When did-“ he freezes. That woman. When she reached out her hand. He scoffs then goes to throw the thing over his shoulder but stops just before he can let go. He never really gets fan mail, he’s not really popular thanks to his explosive personality and women have always been afraid of him, writing him off as aggressive despite him being attractive.
Sitting down on the couch, now wearing a robe, he rips open the ‘stupid’ thing and pulls out the folded paper inside. There is a strange little bump in it which makes him hesitant to unfold it. He does anyway and a small caramel candy falls out and lands on his lap. He picks it up only to drop it again because it’s melted and made the wrapper sticky. “Gross…” His eyes flit over to the note.
‘Dear Dynamight,
Thank you for paying my hospital bills and saving me from becoming a bloody puddle on a sidewalk.
From:
Jane Doe’
Then there’s a piece of tape at the bottom that the candy was attached to he assumes.
…
????
“Who the hell is-….”
An image flashes into his mind.
An image of a woman dropping out of the night sky as he was on patrol.
‘Sir the civilian you took the hospital a few months ago still hasn’t woken up. The police have done a search and she seemingly doesn’t have any family or connections. The doctors in change don’t know what to do about payment sir, her condition is extremely unique-’ A voice echos in his mind.
He huffs a laugh. “Well damn…”
“Almost forgot about you.”
YAAAAAY!!!!!!!!

Jane Doe: Prologue.
- TIME SKIP MHA ISEKAI.
So I’m back on that manga reading and anime watching right and HOLY DID THEY MAKE TIME SKIP BAKUGO HOT.
So, HEAR ME OUT. You guys already know I’m always making fics about scarred up beefcake men so why not add pro hero Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight to the mix right? Picked one mouth full of a name omg…
So this is going to be an introductory chapter, you know how it goes.
(Use of female pronouns.)
TW: Mentions of anxiety and death.(How else did you think an isekai from me was going to work.)
Cold….
Overwhelming….
Everything and nothing…
Hot….
Your eyes blinked open and instantly the bright ceiling light above you burned like you had just looked straight at the sun. You squinted to try and adjust to the brightness and as you did, your head felt like it was about to explode. Every single artery felt like it was bubbling beneath your scalp, you could feel every single nerve in your whole body and simultaneously your joints felt like they had been pumped with air.
Everything felt so so so wrong…..
…
What happened????
You attempted to turn your head, gauge your surroundings and get a better look at where you were but something pulled at your insides as soon as you did. You reached your hand up shakily to investigate and touched your mouth only to feel a tube running up and in, straight down your throat.
This was heavily panic inducing to discover. Your eyes now frantically scanned your environment to understand where you were.
Modern white and blue painted walls, the smell of sanitiser and liquid vitamin drips.
You knew that smell… you’d been to a hospital enough times to recognise it.
What happened?!!??!????
You squeeze your eyes shut in a desperate attempt to backtrack, remember how you ended up in such a painful state.
Your memories start at the beginning of last week. The food you ate, the people you saw, the things you did, the aches that started getting worse… then last Friday, in march of the year 2026, you went to bed with the worst headache of your life. It felt like your whole soul was bruised. But you had an appointment in the morning so you decided to chill a bit, relax, let the 2 pain killers you just took kick in before attempting to sleep. So you decided to finish up on the last few chapters of the Boku No Hero academia manga. You liked manga, it was a fun thing to read. You fell asleep shortly after the time skip reveal with a bittersweet smile on your face.
…
What happened after that????
…
You can’t remember…
…
no… no no no no…. No…
You took in heavy breaths and fought the machines attached to you that fought you back as you tried to move. Suddenly nervous,muffled voices echoed around you as multiple pairs of hands pushed you back down onto the bed to restrain your movement. “-ん!落ち着いてよ-“ You could barely hear what they were saying… everything blurred as you pushed your hardest to sit up, your heart sending loud thuds straight to your ears.
Overwhelming…. Overwhelming….
Suddenly you felt extra dizzy… then you collapsed back into the bed as figures leaned over you, your fuzzy vision unable to make out their faces… then everything went black.
Your dreams that day were clouded with swirls of purple and violet.
24..
48…
72
…
6570 hours pass.
You next woke to the sound of children’s laughter and the birdsong of finches.
Your eyelids flutter open and you are much more calm than the last time you woke up. You look around and everything seems to be in a decent amount of focus. Your gaze flits over to the big window to your right. You seem to be on the ground floor of a hospital, there is a small children’s play area outside where 2 young boys are playing, pretending to be superhero’s it seems like.
Next thing you know the door slides open to your left and a lady in scrubs waltz’s in, her clipboard tucked under her arm. She hums a sweet tune and all seems normal until she turns to face you.
She’s got 2 completely navy eyes and purple irises.
Your eyes widen and so do hers as you lock gazes.
“マジで…起きてたの!?!”
?????
“ずっと目覚めないんじゃないかって、マジで心配してたよ!!!”
She’s Japanese…. How have I ended up in Japan????? You thought to yourself.
You spoke a little Japanese but it was literally only a few words here and there… and with the state that you were in, in no way shape or form were you understand what she was saying.
She spun around on her heel and shouted into the hallway, “吉田先生!!!急いで!!!吉田先生を呼んで!!!その身元不明の患者が目を覚ました!!”
Then, she rushed over to your side and checked the monitors that were attached to you.
“奥様?奥様?お気分はいかがですか???聞こえますか?” She seemingly asked you, but all that you caught was ‘how are’ and ‘feeling’.
You winced as you tried to sit up, your body feeling heavy, she placed a gentle but urgent hand on your shoulder,
“ああ!やめて、お願い、あなたの筋肉は全部萎縮しているの。動かないほうがいいと思うわ―”
Something rung loudly in your head like the sound of a microphone being pointed at a speaker, cutting off your hearing momentarily. The twang sent a sharp pain right through your brain, “-just yet. Please relax, Doctor Yoshida will be with us shortly.”
…
HUH?????
WASN’T SHE JUST SPEAKING JAPANESE?????
“What????”
“… oh! You can talk! That’s…unexpected…” she says, her brows knitting together, a confused look on her face.
“… unex-“ You start but start violently coughing, your throat feeing like it’s been sanded by 60 grit sandpaper.
“Yes… that’s to be expected… you haven’t been able to speak for a long time. It’s natural for your voice to be a bit hoarse, my apologies.” She says, softly rubbing a circle on your back.
“… a long time?? How long is a long time??” You say, voice cracking on every word.
“… You’ve been in a coma for 9 months, miss.”
“…. What?”
…
“… I’m sorry.”
An hour later.
Doctor Yoshida arrived and gave you a once over before giving you the run down on your current situation after deeming you cognisant enough as well as providing you with water for your sore throat.
He told you about how your body had been mysteriously making injuries and healing them over the past year. From random scrapes to fractures, illnesses and even burns. Injuries that you do remember getting. But they were from living your life over multiple years that is, not laying in a hospital bed unable to move or actually obtain such injuries. They even mentioned how for a while it was like your body was even rejecting oxygen as well as any sort of medicinal item they tried to help you with.
But after a while you …’acclimatised’ so to speak, vitals stabilising, up till now.
It was a lot to take in… too much to take in. 
You desperately tried to ignore the way these people looked too, because… what? Why does ‘Doctor Yoshida’ …. Look… like Yoshi from Mario… and why does the nurse have navy voids for eyes?!?!? It was like a freaking comic book-
…
“…. Hey uhm… Doctor Yoshida? How did… I… uhm… you know… end up in the hospital?”
“Pro Hero Dynamight brought you in. Said he caught as you were seemingly plummeting off the top of a building in the middle of New Hosu City while he was finishing his patrol for the night-“
Your hearing started going again as your jaw fell slightly open. Your hearing had to be going again because you could have sworn he just said DYNAMIGHT as in THE CHARACTER FROM THE MANGA AND ANIME brought you to the hospital after you were FALLING OFF A BUILDING.
“…iss? Miss?”
“Huh?”
“Are you alright?” The nurse asked, leaning over to you before giving you a once over, a worried look painted on her features.
“Uh… uh yeah… just… reeling a bit… uhm… it’s a lot to take in…”
“Take it as slow as you need to miss, all of your muscles have atrophied due to your prolonged hospitalisation. You’ll need to take some time get back on your feet… literally.” Said the doctor.
“And the bills?…. I’m aware of how expensive these things can be- and I- I don’t have the means to-“
“Don’t you worry about that. We contacted the Pro who saved you and informed him about your situation. He’s been funding everything needed to help you recover since the very beginning of your treatment. He said he felt responsible and has money to spare for someone in need.”
“….. miss?” Said the nurse nervously, your eyes then meeting hers. “I’m sorry to ask this and I really don’t mean to overwhelm you more than you already are, but… do… remember… anything? About who you are?”
“Nurse Ikeda! That is a matter we must wait for the police to be present for, please-“
“No… no it’s okay… Doctor. She can ask…”
Yoshida looks between the two of you before reluctantly nodding, giving the nurse the go ahead.
“Would you mind telling us your name?” She enquires hesitantly.
Your name.
Did your name really matter? Considering the situation?
…
You could start again… after all…
you didn’t exist here yet until now.
“What have you been calling me?”
“Well- since we couldn’t find your birth certificate or any sort of identification even after sending your data that we had to the labs and the police, you’ve been a Jane Doe…” she says regrettably, her arm falling to her side.
“… then keep calling me that… please.”
“Miss we need to-“
“I don’t have any memory of who I used to be.”
A lie, naturally.
But they couldn’t prove that.
“…. That’s… to be expected.” She sighs, clearly disappointed, but still upholding her professionalism. “Your brain activity has been strange since you’ve been admitted so it’s no surprise that your memory is a bit jumbled…” States the Doctor.
“Is there some sort of process that I can go through? To get rehabilitation?”
“Of course. But let’s focus on getting strong enough to walk again shall we? Then we can talk about your past first. Then, the future from there.” He smiles comfortingly.
A new start… a fresh start…
Ugh what a concept.
You were dearly going to miss aspects of your old world, of your old life but … now you could begin again… a whole new perspective….
How fun :)
Please let me know if you’d want a mini series!!!

Jane Doe: Chapter One
BYEBYE
Creds to the owner for the gif divider
LEON HAS A RING IN RE9’s CONCEPT ART!
I think this is such a good way for capcom to wrap up Leon’s love story without angering any shippers honestly.
If we are talking about who he married though, In my personal opinion, I don’t think Leon married someone in the same field as him. And I definitely don’t think he married Ada. It’s very unlikely that he ever actually even saw her again after re6.
Ada is a very free spirit and she’s always danced to the beat of her own drum. She has a soft spot for Leon, a very big soft spot for him, but that doesn’t mean she’ll tie herself down for a man.
We saw in re4r how willing she was a get a piece of Wesker.
Let’s all be honest with ourselves here, Ada initially pitied Leon. This innocent, bright eyed rookie cop. She found him adorable and thus, easy to manipulate. As soon as he found out about her real intentions, she pulled a gun on him, no hesitation. She got shot first though before she could lower that gun or pull that trigger then she fell to what Leon assumed was her death. Coming to re4r however, Leon knew she was alive, “you don’t seem surprised…” yet the whole game through he seems to be quite annoyed with her. Like she’s scratched open a wound that was already near healed. “This is where we go our separate ways.” Like please stop causing chaos in my brain so nonchalantly.
Remake Leon doesn’t pine and yearn for Ada like og Leon. Capcom also got a crapton of hate for how they wrote Leon and Ada in 6 so I highly doubt they went down that route.
Claire is a very viable option for a spouse for him however that would make a lot of sense after Leon and Chris got closer after vendetta, even sporting matching watches in DI. It was stated somewhere that Claire and Leon made up after ID with a matter regarding Sherry if I’m not mistaken, and seeing as how Sherry is in 9, that makes a lot of sense. Leon was also bummed that Claire didn’t want to catch dinner with him, which shows he was down for a date.
But I digress.
If you ask me, I think Leon got with someone out of the BOW loop. Someone so drastically different from the life he’s lived up till that point and I think they met after vendetta. Leon is really happy in death island. He’s well groomed, put together and conveniently, wears gloves. His whole vibe in that movie is very… “fatherly?” Like happy old married man who likes to sit on the porch and watch the sunset vibes. Even in the scene where he has one glove off, it’s very conveniently his right hand. He also wasn’t very “women 🙄” like his previous og entries. He was like “Women 🫶”
The man is old. It would be so sad if he was still playing cat and mouse as a 51 year old man with a woman he’s only canonically only seen for 24 hours total and only slept with once over decades. Leon is exhausted of his life and desperately needs that peace. Capcom gave that to him in a spouse. And they are trying to keep everyone happy by not mentioning who that spouse is.
Yes the directors did mention that they are also very interested in the connection between Leon and Ada but they also told the actress of remake Claire that the two of them were supposed pretend they had crushes on one another in their interactions in the making of re2r.
Claire makes Leon feel like an equal when we watch them, Ada makes Leon seem like a fool.
I hope he got married to a random person with a boring ol job and they live in a woodland mansion where they do nothing all day but talk and do crossword puzzles ❤️ because that’s the calm that he deserves.
BUT LET ME SAY SOMETHING CRAZY HERE.
What if it’s not a wedding ring?
Because you know what so hilarious, SHERRY HAS A SIMILAR RING TOO. But it’s on her pinky.
How did we get to looking at the concept art anyway?
“But Lamp, it’s just concept art, it could have been removed in the final version.”
YOU SEE.
There is a challenge… that forces you to look at the concept art……….. the devs also said in a Q&A after being asked “is Leon single” THEY GIGGLED…. And said…. “We don’t think we should tell you guys, let’s let the fans find out for themselves.”
AHA!
now we are here…. And we are all a bit tender in the heart…. Because…. We all love Leon.
I truly believe they did him right guys, our man is happy and MARRIED…. I think….
TO A GOOD AND NICE PERSON.
But I don’t think that woman is ada I’m so sorry Aeon fans but Leon deserves a stable relationship.
Okay bye bye ヾ(°∇°*)
Doing Something Stupid
~ A Resident Evil story
Hey guys so turns out I am indeed a very sickly being 🌅 so here I am again, with some emo Leon fluff. What else do you expect from me at this point. Had to rewrite like more than half of this because tumblr refreshed and took 20 minutes of my hard work with it 💔 just wanted to voice my frustrations with you because you know I love you and you know how bad I want this middle aged man it’s not even a joke anymore.
This is for someone out there like who’s like me. Whose body doesn’t like them.
Getting a diagnosis is the worst, even if it makes you feel better to know what’s going on. So sometimes, you wanna take chances because what else do you have to lose. Your reputation? Ha.
This is maybe going to be a long one idk yet, but buckle up. Btw, this isn’t part of the chapters I’ve written before, this is new 👍
Setting: Just after the events of Resident Evil: Death Island.
Female reader in her mid twenties Leon is in his late thirties. So yes: Age Gap.
⋆꙳•̩̩͙❅*̩̩͙‧͙ ‧͙*̩̩͙❆ ͙͛ ˚₊⋆⋆꙳•̩̩͙❅*̩̩͙⋆ ⋆⋅•⋅⊰∙∘⋆ ❆ ⋆∘∙⊱⋅•⋅꙳•̩̩͙❅*̩̩͙‧͙ ౨ৎ⋆ ˚⋆꙳•̩̩͙❅*̩̩͙‧͙
For the first time in months, you actually felt like smiling and it was definitely because of him.
You and this hunk of a man had been friends for almost 4 or 5 years now.
You had always thought he was pretty attractive, extremely attractive but you never did make a move and he never made one either. You were pretty sure he saw you as nothing more than a younger lady who liked to be his friend and laugh at his bad jokes, that was IT.
And for the longest time you were so fine with that.
You were so fine with admiring from a distance as your casual flirting flew right over his head.
Then sometime last year, you started feeling really icky all the time. The worst of it would come and go but you eventually never really felt like you were getting better.
Your life got really stressful, as life tends to. But this time, your body couldn’t handle it.
Nothing was as easy anymore and everything always hurt.
You never understood why.
Why why why-
Why was every doctor not able to tell you what was wrong? What’s with all the vague “educated” guesses? The unsure diagnoses??
Then one day, you found someone who could tell you what was wrong.
That it was something you weren’t really able to get tested for so it flew under the radar in most cases. The kind doctor also informed you that there was no way to fix it.
Your family knew, your closest friend knew and that was pretty much it.
December rolls around and the cold makes your whole body ache, worse, so much worse than before.
You hadn’t really said anything to anyone but you had felt approximately about 2 times this year that you were not going to make it. That the ants marching along your windowsill were the last things you were going to experience. That you were going to die, rotting in your bed.
Alas, time dragged on.
You lived.
For how much longer?
You didn’t know.
And at this point you didn’t care.
You stopped watching clocks so intently everyday, you started doing things to regain some whimsy in your life while you still could. Laugh at whatever stupid thing you found funny, cry at whatever inconvenienced you weather you were in public or in private, without a care for what other people would think.
Because you never knew how long it would be till you were called to join the bone orchard.
The cold night air nipped at your nose, your cheeks hurt from all the laughing and smiling you’d done tonight and you had a hobble in your step. You blamed it on the booze but you knew it wasn’t the alcohol that was making you walk funny.
“-n then I- I don’t even know-“ he laughed, his sweet voice hanging in the air.
The more this wretched year went on the more you started appreciating him.
Stupid & Oblivious Scotty.
He had come back from another “hike” with Chris the other day covered in cuts and bruises. He said that he fell but you never did believe his “hiking trip” or “business trip” stories. You knew they were a cover up for something, but at this point you didn’t have the energy to dig.
You felt your lungs stinging and your knees aching with every step you took, your stamina was definitely not what it used to be.
“Ugh I can’t walk anymore- I need a break-“ you stretched your arms out.
“A break?” He scoffs “We’ve barely just left the bar! Don’t tell me you’re tired after walking like what-“ he checks his watch “5 minutes? We didn’t even drink much, you literally only had 1 double-“ he brings his eyes back over to you, amusement written all over his face.
“Shh you geezer.” You wave him off and trek ahead, your feeling feet heavy.
“Geezer?? I’m thirty eight!” You could practically hear the smile on his lips.
He catches up to you and lightly nudges your shoulder to tease you. Something he often does. It’s when you actually stumble that he recoils.
Have you always been that weak?
“Sorry bout that..”
“No it’s okay, must be more of a lightweight than I thought” you try to laugh it off and change the subject as quickly as possible, your eyes scanning the area.
“AH!” You point “a bench, my sweet saviour..”
You head a ways in front of him, jogging up to a small snow covered bench near a small park. You comically swipe the snow aside and sit down before dramatically slapping the spot next to you for him to take a seat.
He catches up after a second and taps your knee and a groan leaves him as he flops back, forcing a chuckle out of you.
“Old man.”
“Oh please.”
The moment grows silent as you sit there for a bit, a smile on each of your faces. Small, dainty little snowflakes drifting down from the sky, reflecting the light of the street lamps.
You appreciate the simplistic beauty of the scenery, but something was stirring in you. Something that made your chest tight with melancholy.
“You wanna go skinny dipping?” You blurted out.
…
“Huh?”
“You wanna go… skinny dipping?”
…
“Skinny dipping????”
“Yeah.”
“You?”
“Yeah?”
“And me?”
“… y… yes?”
“In the middle of winter…”
“… we could find a heated pool?”
…
“No.”
You leaned toward him and shoved him with your shoulder
“Cmooonnnnn.”
“No- who are you??? Skinny dipping???” He scoffs “YOU??”
“Maybe I wanna be a bit wild sometimes you know.”
“YOU? WILD??”
….
……
“Aw… is someone insecure of his pooch?” you tease, poking his side.
He scoffs.
“SCUSE ME??? NO I DON’T HAVE- YOU KNOW WHAT? Number one: skinny dipping is ILLEGAL. And considering I was top of my class at the police academy I don’t really feel like BREAKING THE LAW.” He waves his pointer finger at you.
“Number two: skinny dipping requires getting naked and pardon me if I don’t feel like flashing you or wanting to get flashed by someone I consider a close friend-“
You roll your eyes and shove him “psh your loss pal.” Deep down it did kinda hurt that he didn’t want to see you naked.
“Sureeee sure my loss.” He gestures to himself with his hands.
Then the conversation dies off, leaving you both to your thoughts.
…
Jezz I must really be the only one who’s had romantic thoughts huh?
I’m such a fool.
I’ve seen those watches him and Chris wear, he’s loaded. Why’d he want me? All that stupid flirting… ugh I’m so dumb….
“Yeah alright, you wanna go skinny dipping- let’s go.”
His voice breaks the silence.
“Yeah I get it Scott, it was a j-…. Wait sorry?”
He turns his head to look over to you.
“Let’s go skinny dipping.”
…
“Are you for real?”
“Unless you were kidding-“
“No.. I’d like to.”
“Great.” He slaps his knees and stands up.
“My pool fine?” He offers you his hand casually to help you stand.
“You have a pool?” You take his hand and push yourself off the bench.
“Yeah. Why not?”
The more you know…
This would be the first time you’ve been to Leon’s house. You didn’t know he had one. He’s so all over the show most times, you didn’t think he’d have one set address. He goes on so many “business trips” that when you guys usually spend time, it’s on the fly or impromptu.
So when you pull up in a taxi to an actually really suave looking home in the suburbs, you are kinda speechless. I mean you knew the man had money but not nice house money.
He helps you out the car and you walk up to the gates of his so called ‘abode’.
“When did you buy a house?” You ask him, genuinely puzzled and shocked by the whole shebang.
He starts sifting through a keyring with far too many keys dangling from it (and far too little charms in your opinion) “Oh- I dunno sometime maybe 3 years ago? Chris and another friend convinced me to get a ‘Homebase’ I guess” he says nonchalantly.
…
Right.
Eventually he unlocks the front gate.
“After you.” He dramatically gestures, bowing forward and swinging his arm toward the now open pathway.
You huff a laugh and make your way inside, eyeing everything.
With every step you took, you questioned if he actually lived here.
The garden was pretty overgrown and the paint on the outside walls were chipped. It looked like no one had taken care of this place, well ever.
He unlocks the front door and you’re genuinely surprised in his taste for decor. It’s pretty vintage. (Which you thoroughly enjoyed)
“Scuse the dust, haven’t been here in a while.” He mentions after you both step inside.
‘Haven’t been here in a while’ was the understatement of the century. Every piece of furniture was caked in dust. So thickly that you could smell it. You run your pointer finger across the surface of the wood cabinet next to you in the entry way and marvel at how the tip of your finger has now completely changed colour.
“I do have someone come every week to take of the pool however, so we should be fine.”
He shrugs his jacket off and blows some dust off the coat hanger before hanging it up. You pass your coat to him to hang it up for you, but you do do it very apprehensively.
…
You take a look at your surroundings again.
HOW DOES HAS HE AFFORDED ALL OF THIS??? JUST WHAT TYPE OF JOB DOES HE HAVE????
“I’ll go turn on the pool heater uh- make yourself at home. I’ll be back in a minute.” He smiles before heading down the hall.
YOU FELT EXTREMELY AWKWARD.
You didn’t think he’d actually say yes to skinny dipping, let alone let you do it in HIS OWN POOL THAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW HE HAD. I mean technically, I guess it’s better that it’s a personal pool…
You were overthinking immediately. You weren’t exactly the most confident in your body and now the guy you had been slowly falling in love with for the last 4 years was going to see ALL OF IT. WITHOUT YOU EVEN BEING SURE HE HAD THE SAME SORT OF FEELINGS IN RETURN. You didn’t even know if he saw you as a woman. Well a woman to be attracted to anyway.
What are we doing here? What am I doing here???
…
Focus.
It doesn’t matter.
You stare in the direction he went in.
It’ll be fine. This will be fun.
…
After about 30 minutes of just sitting there in deafening silence staring at every decoration in his house, his footsteps finally started coming back in your direction so your head lifted instantly.
“You wanna just jump in now or…?” He says, poking his head in the doorway.
“Uhhh…… yeah.” You shrug. “Sure.” You smile, giving your best attempt of hiding the nervous breakdown you were having inside your head.
He slaps the doorframe “alrighty, cmon.” He nudges his head in the direction of what you assume is the pool.
You push yourself up off your seat and follow closely behind.
Oh I’m gonna throw up.
As soon as you step foot into the little indoor pool area, the heat melts off the winter air that clung to your face and that makes your shoulders relax unintentionally.
“Wow Leon, this is niiiice.” you say, nodding your head as you admire the area.
“Thank you kindly.” He says as he switches off the lights that illuminate the bottom of the pool.
Good call
“So… who’s getting in first?”
….
“You get in, I have more layers to take off.” You sniffle, your eyes looking everywhere but in his direction.
“Alright.” He says with a sigh and soon the sound of a belt unbuckling is heard. Within a singular minute, he’s stripped and already diving in.
“AGH LEON-“ you cover your face as waves of water splash on you. He comes up to the surface and throws his hair back, a big smile on his face. OMG.
He was so gorgeous and that was so attractive. Omg.
“You getting in?”
“In a minute man. Turn around.”
He turns himself around so his back his facing you and brings his hands up to cover his eyes, “I won’t peek, swear.”
You then stand there and switch your weight from one leg to the other for a good solid minute, contemplating the whole situation.
Am I really doing this? Did I even shave? Ugh….
Your eyes drift over to his pile of clothes as you slowly begin taking off the layers you had on, folding them so super slowly to as waste time. You were heavy stalling for sure.
Okay he left his boxers on, that means I can keep mine on, at least. Pf no I’m not disappointed, who said that?
“You gonna take seven more years or what?” He jokes.
“Someone’s impatient I see. Perv.” You counter.
“Shut up.” He responds in a huff of laughter.
Eventually your clothes are all neatly folded on the floor and your shoes lined up next to them so you spin around to look at his back… oh dear heaven.
STOP.
You squeeze your eyes shut and take three large strides toward the water before jumping with all the energy you could muster, tucking your knees to your chest.
As soon as you’re in, every single worry falls away.
When you come up for air and you feel a hand come to your arm to help you keep your balance. “Holy shit, you scared the crap out of me.” He says, helping you get the hair sticking to your cheeks back behind your ears.
You had goosebumps all over your shoulders and forearms and a smile spread wide across your face. You were pretty sure the goosebumps were from cold shock though.
“LEON THIS WATER IS FREEZING YOU BABOON.”
You slap his chest with one hand as you wipe the water from your eyes with the other. “Sorry guess we didn’t give it enough time to heat up.”
You give him a side eye when you can finally open your eyes again before splashing him.
He splashed you back in retaliation.
And so a fight begun.
You dodged his attacks and countered with your own, water flying everywhere. You were holding up decently well… up until he used his secret technique. Using both of his hands that were significantly bigger than your own.
He sends a wave your way and you drive to dodge it, only for him to dive right after you and grab your ankles.
You come up for air with gasp. “YOU FAT KIDNEYED FLEA.“ you couldn’t see a thing.
All you could hear was the sound of water in your ears and his muffled guffaws as he strained to get out this one sentence.
“You look like the hairy guy from the Addams family.” He said between cackles.
You gasped again “COUSIN THING???? HOW DARE YOU!!!”
He swims over to you and helps you free your face from its hairy prison. As soon as you are free however, you pounce on him, sending you both underwater. You try to make your daring escape to abandon him there but he’s a bit more of a faster swimmer than you.
He catches up QUICK, grabs you around the waist and suplexes you. BANG, a nose full of water. You take the chance when you’re down there to bite the back of his left thigh. Revenge. He lets out a muffled yelp, “what the fuck-“ which bubbles from his mouth before he surfaces to spin around and look at you but you’re already swimming away, chuckling as you go.
“I’M GONNA CATCH YOU, YOU DAMN PIRANHA.”
…
You don’t know how long passes nor do you care.
That was so fun.
Now you’re both just here, leaning back to back, enjoying the warm water now that it’s finally heated up.
It’s a really nice moment.
So much of a nice moment, you both haven’t even really comprehended that you’ve both just seen each other in their underwear yet. But shh shh, let’s not think about that.
You feel his back against yours, his very muscular, beautiful… I’m sorry.
Anyway, it’s very grounding. It feels so real.
For a second you think about everything.
Your life, your past friendships and relationships and how badly some of them have ended, recently even. And how badly all of its affected you.
Then you think about this big teddy bear behind you.
Oh you want him. You want to hold him, you want things like what you guys did today to be a regular thing.
…
How long would regular last for?
… stop.
Oh stop it. Oh stop moving, what are you doing? You might screw up one of the only good things you have left, don’t you want to keep things this good while you’re still here to experience it?
…
No.
I feel like doing something stupid.
“… what’re you doing..?” He asks as your arms wrap around his midriff and your chest comes to press against his back.
“Do you hate it?”
…
“… no…”
….
:)
That’s a very good answer.
…
You two sit there like that for a good minute or two before he tries to turn around, you loosen your grip and as soon as those hazy blue eyes look down at you, you feel very self conscious. You take this chance to take a good look at him too single he’s already doing the same to you. Your heart does funny little acrobatic tricks in your chest as your eyes travel down his torso.
He’s sure got a lot of scars… they’re faded but… those must have hurt.
You felt bad for him… and he obviously notices that.
Pity was not something he wanted you to feel while looking at him right now, not that you knew that anyway.
Now that he’s really looking at you… you don’t really look well… which worries him…
You didn’t give him much chance to think about that though, because you were already going up on your tip toes, leaning in toward his face.
His eyes go wide and he puts his hands on your arms to pull you away.
“Don’t do something you’ll regret.”
…
Your heart sunk.
“…sorry… didn’t mean to gross you out.” You immediately retreated, pulling yourself out of his grasp and turning to climb out of the water, wanting nothing more than to shove your head into a wall over and over again out of sheer embarrassment.
You thought you knew what type of eyes he was giving you, that you knew what that expression meant. You were wrong obviously, you dumb idiot.
As soon as you put your hands on the edge of the pool to push yourself out, his arms come to cage you in.
You freeze, your shoulders tensing.
“Never said you grossed me out…”
Omg. Has his voice always been that reverberant?
“Just said that I didn’t want you doing anything you’ll regret.”
…
“Why’d you stop me then?” You ask quietly, your ears and face dusted with a rosy tint.
“…because. I’m old…”
You mentally face palmed. Guess he didn’t catch the memo huh.
“… I’m gonna kill you.” You muttered.
“Hm? I-“
You spun around, closed your eyes and smashed your lips against his. You felt him stumble… and at first he didn’t react which made you nervous but as soon as those hands laid themselves on your back, you both melted.
You’d been dreaming about this for years. And it was exactly and wonderful as what you thought it’d be.
The room is silent with nothing but the sound of the water softly dripping from his and your hair.
You bring your arms up to wrap around his neck and he wraps his arms around your body, pulling you closer against him as he leans his head to the side for a better angle. Oh it was perfect, he was so comfortable to lean on, like his body was made to be the perfect pillow. His warmth, the callouses on his hands, his arms pressing against your sides, it was all so nice. He begins to slowly walk to the edge of the pool as things get more heated. And then that’s where your guilt creeps in.
He sits you down and you pull away from him, his lips chasing after yours after the loss of sudden contact.
“I’m dying.”
He huffs.
“Didn’t think I was that good at kissing-“
“No… Leon…. I’m…”
Your purse your lips as tears well up in your eyes, your throat becoming tight.
How could you do this to him. How could you.
Look at how happy this man is. You can’t drop a bomb on him like this now after doing all that.
“I’m dying….”
….
His whole expression changes.
“What do you mean?”
He straightens up and steps closer to you, his brows knitting together as he tries to gauge you.
You huff, blinking away the tears stinging your eyes.
“I’m dying.”
“From what?” He says sternly.
“… I don’t really know…” you felt utterly defeated. You were pretty much utterly defeated…
“Is it cancer or-?” His voice cracked.
Your head immediately snapped up and your hand come to touch his chest.
“No! No it’s not cancer no oh I’m sorry- No my body is just really pathetic- it’s not anything that bad-“
“But it’s killing you?”
You both just stared at each other.
“Well… technically no…or yes? I don’t… I’m just… fading I guess.”
He looked so confused and upset. Oh you were the worst.
“My body just can’t keep up with me anymore or with anything anymore… and what ever I have… it’s not treatable… trust me, I’ve looked.”
He sighs so deeply, then he comes to sit next to you.
Then you both just set there in heavy silence. Which gives both of you some time to think about what’s just happened and what’s been said. You decide to speak up first.
“Leon why is your house so dusty? Why haven’t you been here in while?” You ask plainly.
He sighs even harder.
“I’m dead anyway. I know you’re Italian American, so if you’re wrapped up in something dangerous you can tell me-“ you start.
“No! Shit- no I’m not a gangster.” He stops you. “But it’s… sort of not something I can talk about.”
…
“That’s sort of scary…”
He laughs.
“Didn’t mean to sound so ominous… no it’s just… classified?” He says, raising an eyebrow.
“Classified??? Are you sure you’re not a gangster?”
“I’m more worried about why you’re so causal about it if you thought I was a gangster, makes me kinda want to question your morals- but no I’m not a gangster. I do have a job and that job forces me to kinda move around a lot as I’m sure you’ve guessed.” He brings his hand up to rub the back of his neck as he tries to think of a way to explain himself without outing his profession. He sits there and ponders it over in silence for a good few seconds.
“???”
…
“I uhm… I work in security. Yeah… let’s go with that.”
“Five nights at Freddy’s.”
“SORRY?”
“Nevermind, so you’re not a gangster. This is good to hear. I was slightly having a bit of a panic attack about that.”
“…sure.”
You clear your throat.
“So. I don’t… I don’t really know where to go from here.” You say awkwardly.
“Maybe we can start with I dunno, a timeline? When did you, Y’know… get sick I guess.”
Your turn to sigh deeply.
“Started around maybe… 2 years ago? Injures stated happening one after another and I just wasn’t healing right. Then I just eventually started not really healing from anything. I don’t… I don’t really know what’s going to happen to me… I’m kinda just living day to day now. Trying to find reasons to live. Things to be happy about.”
You sniff.
“Because after all those hospital bills and fighting my own body… I really don’t want to die.” The words fall out of your lips like they each weighed a ton. Your head dropped into your hands and the tears started rolling.
“I don’t feel like I’ve done anything with my life yet, I don’t feel like I matter yet… I don’t want to just fade away. I worked so hard… for what? Just to die before I was able to prove myself worthy of life? I’m not special, I’ve gone through the whole depression and suicidal phase. But now I really just want my life to work… and it feels like the more I want it the more I try and hold on the more I feel like it’s being sucked right out of my hands….like some cruel joke.”
…
“I can’t do this anymore-“
“You can.”
…
He brought his hands up to your cheeks and turned your face toward him then wiped the tears that clung to your lashes away with the pads of his thumbs.
“… I had no idea things had been so hard for you recently… I’m sorry…” he said softly.
You chuckled between sniffles, “no it’s okay, makes me feel better to know I was decently good at hiding it.”
He was happy to see that even after all that hardship, you still found something to smile about.
“… I know it’s hard but… keep pushing. Even if you’re out’ve steam now take it slow, till you can crawl then from there you can figure out how to walk again. I’m sure it’ll take long but it’s worth it. I’ll also try n’ help with hospital bills if you want.”
“I can’t ask that of you-“
“Money can come back, you can’t.”
…
He was far too good at comforting.
“Also please don’t even say that you’re dying again because I kinda really want uhm… this to happen” he gestured to the both of you. “Is that selfish? I feel like that’s kinda selfish I’m sorry-“
You smiled, “no- no I… I also want this to happen. Actually has made me feel 7 times better just having had some of my feelings reciprocated.”
He looked down at you with warmth in his eyes, a warmth you had thought you’d never feel from another person ever again. “So, if I can ask… when did you… you know. Start feeling things for me, I guess?”
You sigh and look up, wracking your mind to try and think of a specific time you started seeing him as more than a friend. “Sheesh…. Maybe… uhhh… Oh.” You smiled to yourself as you recalled the memory. “Ha!”
“What?” He said curiously, his lips curving up as he mirrors your expression.
“Uhm do you remember that time you asked me to bring you some coffee while you were sorting through some paper work?”
He scoffs then sits there a second to think, brows furrowing, “… No? Wait…. WAIT YOU MEAN-“ his whole face lights up “That was 4 years ago…” he looks utterly dumbfounded. “I was a total mess that day…”
“I think that’s what made me be like ‘oh’ Y’know?”
He looks at you with a puzzled expression “no?”
You sigh. “Well I mean it’s kinda embarrassing.”
“Well now I have to hear this.” He makes himself comfortable- well as comfortable as he can, sitting on concrete at edge of a pool.
“So uhm… when you uhm…. Opened the door. Looking all tired and messy, hair unkept and stubble grown out, a casual shirt, I definitely felt like… y’know? Then I take a proper look at you and you’re wearing glasses and I know they’re only like blue light blockers and you don’t really need them but I mean like Wow, right?” You say awkwardly, not really being able to say any of this properly or without busting out a fat blush.
“No I don’t think I do know but…go on.”
You clear your throat. “Mm. Right okay. Then you like lean against the door, sighing in relief when you see me- and I dunno I was like waw and that was just enough. The I was like, Man he’s actually like y’know.” You make a weird kind of bubble popping gesture with your hands. Leon looks heavily confused but luckily, flattered.
“Thank… you? Gee I guess I thought maybe you started liking me because I was nice or something not because one day you suddenly found my casual attire attractive.” He shrugs, a breathy lighthearted huff leaving his lips.
“NO no I do think you’re so nice, you’re one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met Scotty, I swear-“
You cuts you off, seeing the panic in your eyes and wanting to not add fuel to the overthinking flames, “I’m messing with you.” He notifies.
This does earn him a bit of a slap on the arm.
“Ow-“
“I’m trying to be serious here.”
“So am I! I’m sorry.” nothing about his current demeanour says that he’s sorry. He goes quiet for a moment, just looking at you.
You’re just sitting there trying to sort through all of your thoughts, swirling your foot around in the water, when he decides to speak up.
“I’ve been thinking about what it would be like to kiss you since the second day we met”
Your heart literally stops and every single gear in your mind comes to a halt. It takes a second for everything to start back up again before you respond.
“Wuh…? For real? And… how long have you had… if you do… feelings for me?”
“If I have feelings for you? Are you kidding?”
“I don’t know… you might have kissed me in the heat of the moment I don’t-“
Before you can even finish that lousy sentence, he’s pressed a feather light kiss onto your lips. And before you could even close your eyes and reciprocate said kiss, he pulled away.
“You get the memo now…?” He says with a soft smile.
…
MHMHMHN.
Relax.
“Yeah alright… doesn’t mean you’re my boyfriend yet though.” You say with faux confidence.
He scoffs and leans back with a sly look on his face “and why’s that?”
“You’ll have to be a man and actually ask me out first.”
His lips spread into a grin and he promptly slides off where he’s sitting right back into the water. Then comes to stand in front of you, clasping his hands together and laying them in your lap before clearing his throat.
“Well then.”
He looks up at you and it’s almost blinding. Lethal face card omg.
“I would very much like to make dinner plans with you. With romantic intention. Would you do me the honour of letting me take you out on a date?”
He was so good. UGH.
Contain yourself.
“…Why yes. The honour would be mine. Say, tomorrow?” You offer, trying your best to hide the oncoming smile that’s threatening to burst out.
“Tomorrow it is. Want me to make you breakfast?” He suggests casually.
You scoff, “How gentlemanly of you, you have all my meds on standby then? to back up that claim?”
…
“Dinner it is, I’ll pick you up at 8.”
“Let’s just get out of the pool first, then we can negotiate. My toes are already raisins at this point.” You pat his cheek.
“Anything for you.”
Oh just give him another kiss at this point l, he deserves it. And you sorely need it.

~ A Resident Evil story
Guys guess who’s sleep deprived again and feeling ill guys 🌼 that’s right it’s me and what’s better to heal an aching stomach and headache than some depressing Leon fanfiction am I right 🌞🌞🌞🌞. (Send the ambulance)
Set just after RE6
Reader and Leon are married and have a daughter
✃✂︎✁✃✂︎✁✃✂︎✁✄✂︎✁✃✂︎✁✃✂︎✁✃✂︎✁✃✂︎✁✃
It was on that wretched summer night that you had that your life had changed forever.
They called your husband in for an “easy job” he said.
“Won’t take me more than 3 days, tops.” he said.
It didn’t even take one full day before you got that dreaded call after tucking your 6 year old daughter into her soft sheets, telling her that her father would be home before she even knew it and kissing her head goodnight.
The woman’s voice was hushed, like she wasn’t even supposed to telling you in the first place.
“Mrs Kennedy I’m so… I’m so sorry. He’s been presumed dead.”
Then she hung up.
There was no room for you to even ask any sort of questions.
A cold overwhelming shower of horror washed over you.
“It’s just security detail, stop stressing!” The vestige of his lighthearted voice echoed cruelly in your mind.
…
The house was silent.
Your heart was silent.
…
Your eyes creeped over to the direction of her room.
And when you started actually realising the reality of the situation. Salty droplets were already burning your skin as they trickled down your cheeks.
…
She refused to wear black at his funeral.
She actually refused to come to his funeral at all because that would “make it real.”
…
You felt the same.
…
But there wasn’t anyone else there for him besides his little family.
So you took her kicking, crying and screaming to the cemetery to bury an empty casket about 3 days later. You just wanted this all to be over now, you could worry about a headstone later.
It broke you, so safe to say it broke her too.
You let her skip school for the current week and every week after that too if she didn’t feel like going and since then she’s been permanently wearing his T-shirts as nightdresses and can’t sleep if she’s not holding your hand.
…
It was on another warm summer night in June, 2012, that you woke up from a horrendous dream hyperventilating and shaking. But before you could even calm yourself down, you hear crying.
You pull yourself out of bed and almost fall over your own tired feet as you rush to her room.
You practically bodyslam into the door trying to make a make that quick corner turn.
You fall onto your knees next to her bed and immediately begin to cradle her.
“Papa… papa….” She cries.
Seems like you weren’t the only one getting horrendous nightmares.
“Shh… shh… don’t think about that now… shh…” you try to console her, brushing shaky fingers through her hair.
You struggled to keep your own emotions in check as her tears wet your shoulder so you pull her close as you both sob.
…
Hours later, after you’d finally calmed her and yourself down. She passed out, exhausted and so sleepy.
So you lugged yourself back to your bedroom you shared-…
once shared with your spouse.
You put on something presentable and looked at yourself in the mirror for the first time in a while.
You could almost laugh.
You look terrible.
…
Grief does that to a person.
…
Now you’re sitting here, staring at the makeshift wooden headstone that sit stuck into the freshly dug up ground of his grave.
“You must miss him a lot.” A soft voice speaks behind you.
Your heart burns in your chest at the sound, your mind playing tricks on you that another passerby sounds like him again.
So you compose yourself, finally placing the pink carnations your brought into the small stone vase that sits by his grave.
“…Completely and utterly.” Your voice faintly whispered.
The stranger didn’t speak again, you both just stood there in hushed silence.
You stood there for what felt like hours.
“… I’m sorry…” the voice mumbled.
“I’m so sorry….”
…
Your eyes widened.
You couldn’t bring yourself to turn around.
It’s a dream, a nightmare, it had to be.
His voice was evidently guilt stricken, he could barely muster a word and eventually he started sniffling.
…
You squeezed your eyelids shut and tried to convince yourself that this was definitely some cruel dream, that you were still at home and that you’d fallen asleep comforting your daughter. It had to be. It had to be.
Because this definitely couldn’t be real.
Your thoughts became overwhelmingly loud with that woman’s words “He’s been presumed dead.” He’s been presumed dead. He’s dead. He’s been dead. He’s been dead for months. He was dead, he is dead. Your husband is dead, she clearly said that…
“He’s been presumed dead.”
…
You slightly turn your shoulder to face him and your eyes flutter open to look at his shoes.
Presumed…
You could feel this horrible stinging in your chest of false hope, you really really didn’t want it to be false hope.
So your gaze traveled up his body till it settled on his face.
The sunset shone so sweetly on his features, features that you’d spent years committing to memory.
The streams of tears on his face glistened in the light as he looked at you with such soul gripping regret. His eyes scanned you. To see how much grief had changed you in a little less than a week broke his heart.
Before you could even stop yourself, tears were stinging your eyes.
“… Leon?” Your voice broke as you spoke.
“Yeah.” He responded with a crack of his own.
“…. You’re dead…”
He let out a bitter and short huff “Yeah the city that I was in got nuked.” He looked down, his expression detailing just how drained he was, “then had to use the status of dead man to move undetected to catch the guy responsible.”
…
As much as you just wanted to grab him and kiss him all over his tired face, you also wanted to slap him so hard as you felt the anger boil in your blood.
“And you didn’t tell me…? THAT WOMAN CALLED ME LEON. SHE TOLD ME YOU WERE DEAD-“
You pointed your hand in some far off direction.
“…I had to explain to our daughter that her father wasn’t coming home again… can you even fathom….” You drift off.
He grimaces at your words “I didn’t tell her to call you, I didn’t want you to know-
“THEN WHY DID YOU NOT CALL ME?!?!” Your arms fell weakly to your sides.
“…I don’t…” he’s at a loss it seems.
“THIS IS YOUR GRAVE LEON. I HAD TO DRAG OUR DAUGHTER HERE KICKING AND SCREAMING TO BURY AND EMPTY CASKET.” You burst.
“… things have been so rough… and it would have been a disaster if Simmons found out about you and interrogated you to find out if I was still alive- It’s better that you thought-” he tries to defend as a last resort.
“THAT MY HUSBAND DIED?!?!”
He closes his mouth.
“Leon….” Your legs are threatening to give out and you have a searing headache from all the stress and crying.
“I should have called… I’m so sorry…”
“You should have called…” you repeat.
His hands squeeze into fists. Why did Hunnigan have to call you why did she have to tell you…
You look up at him and no matter how angry with him you are-
Your husband came back to you…
You take a few shaky steps towards him then just collapse into his embrace, your hands grabbing fistfuls of his jacket.
“I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry…” he says as his arms wrap around you so tightly.
Your voice cracks and trembles as you sob into the crook of his neck, just taking his presence in.
“I’m never going to forgive you for this you complete fool.”
“I would have been highly worried if you were to.”
He’s back…. He’s back…. His smell, his laugh, his voice, his heart, he’s back.
“Please just retire…. I don’t… I don’t think I can handle this anymore…” you cry weakly.
He chuckles, putting the palm of his hand onto the back of your head ever so comfortingly.
“best idea I’ve heard all year.”
He wasted no time picking up your bag and basically carrying you back to your car. He’d taken a taxi straight here with nothing but a small backpack after getting done with the admin at the white house due to the now forced changes in command the he had to go and give testimonies for, so he was able to drive you both straight home with no other setbacks.
He helped you out the car with a gentle hand then as you unlocked the door to your shared home m, you could see that usual look in his eyes
‘I can’t wait to see my daughter’
But it was laced with worry. His expression painted a good picture about the types of nerves he was feeling now that he was going to be seeing her again after this whole fiasco.
“When I left, she was sleeping.” You whisper, looking back at him as he drops his bag and your bag on the small cabinet near the entryway.
“Go and wake her up.”
He gives you an unsure look but you reaffirm him with a nod in the direction of her bedroom.
…
He makes his way down the hall, heart hammering in his chest, guilt making him extremely nauseous.
He nudged open her door and it’s like his heart is just ripped straight of his chest cavity then stomped on by a very heavy boot violently.
His shirts are strewn all over the floor, the curtains are closed and her little bin in the corner of her room is filled to the brim with tissues.
Her form sit curled up under her comforter and as he draws closer to her, her small, tear stained face comes into view.
He brings his hands up to cover his mouth as he crouches down next to the bed she lay in, his eyes now blurring with tears of his own.
He’s got to be the worst father ever, he thinks to himself.
He hesitatingly reaches his hand out to brush her hair from her face as it sticks to her cheeks. She stirs in her sleep and he immediately pulls away.
He closes his eyes and musters all his courage.
He then gently pats her shoulder.
“…sweetheart…” he whispers.
She hums and furrows her eyebrows due to the disturbance.
He brushes her cheek with the back of his index finger, beckoning her softly to wake up.
“… mm…” she groans, lifting her self up to investigate, rubbing her left eye.
Her eyes flutter open and take a second to focus on the man in front of her… and when she does, her whole expression changes.
“Papa…?” She says softly.
“Hey sweetie… I’m home…” he smiles.
“Papa????” She brings her self closer, tears already brimming her eyes “is this a dream again????” She asks, scared for his response.
“No- no I’m here…” he replies, bringing his hands up to cup her face “I’m here…”
Her lips quiver and she launches herself into her father’s arms.
“Papa!!!! Papa!!!!!!!” She wails, squishing her right cheek to his left one.
You smile as you watch the scene unfold from where you stand in the doorway.
Leon makes eye contact with you and his expression says it all: he feels like utter dirt.
It’s going to be a long and hard recovery but, your family was back together and that was all that could possibly matter.

To return
~ a Resident Evil story
I’m not consistent but hey at least we’re here ❤️ and for that we are so sexy guys. Enjoy this one hey I wrote it while I was hyper sleep deprived 🌅
Reader is about a year or two younger than Leon.
Gender is up to you, it’s not specified.
✐✏︎✎✐✏︎✎✐✏︎✎✐✏︎✎✐✏︎✎✐✏︎✎✐✏︎✎✐✏︎✎✐✏︎✎
(Picture taken by me ♡)
To sit there, alone, was something you were quite used to. You never minded it either.
Till one day he ever so clumsily tripped and toppled right into your life.
Now the solidarity wasn’t so great.
Things with him happened not too slow and not too fast.
He was bit older but than hardly mattered.
You met and fell when he was 22 and were engaged by the time he turned 24. Now that might seem fast, but for him, things needed to happen now just in case they couldn’t happen at all.
A week prior to his proposal, that he had been planning for about 4 months. Was now suddenly. Happening alot sooner than he had hoped. Thanks to the Government of the United States of America “asking” him to join a top secret programme.
Leon was emotional but traumatised, it took him a whole year to breathe even a word to you about his past. But eventually, he did.
Sometimes you wonder if that’s what jinxed it.
For the very next month, after you’d just become a Kennedy officially, he was whisked away for years.
It was so top secret, that for the first year, you couldn’t even contact your brand spanking new husband at all.
It was horrific.
Eventually, due to his outstanding performance at where ever he was doing whatever he was doing, he was allowed to receive mail as a reward.
So you would send him letters under the guise of a “Monthly Book Recommendations List” to keep your existence a secret for your safety, at his request.
You exchanged letters like so, telling each other about what you’ve been up to, how much you miss each other, much needed gossip and interesting things you’ve heard from passers by.
And you did this for longer than you’d prefer…
One day though, he came home.
And it was dreamlike.
At first it was quite the shock, he did look a bit different but that’s to be expected.
But to hold him again, to hear his voice.
A remedy for your soul.
That lasted for what felt like a second.
Then off he went again . You didn’t even know where.
Now here you sit.
All you could hear was the buzzing noise of nothing around you and the annoying tick tocking of that stupid clock in the other hallway you’d sworn to take down 3 weeks ago but kept forgetting about.
Your tea had gone cold about 2 hours ago and your tears dried 20 minutes ago.
You’d done everything you needed to do today, everything you needed to do for the next week and all of your hobby work was completed.
It was 4:53 in the morning and all you could do what sit there and wallow.
Your fingernails clinked against the porcelain of the cup as you stare at the picture frame sitting on the cabinet a little ways away.
It held the picture of the happiest day of your life.
But looking at it now just hurt.
It’d been a week and you were overwhelmed with miss.
You had just gotten him back after years of separation and now it’s already been a week since his frame had hugged yours or his unique presence filled the air.
The silence is broken as the sound of a car engine is heard from down the street, fallen leaves crunching under its tires.
You twitch.
…
You sit there unmoving, waiting for the car to pass as every single one has thus far, upsettingly.
…
The car slows.
It turns into the driveway.
The engine stops.
…
You stand from your seat and place the cup down next to the picture frame before taking slow steps towards the door in a daze.
The car door opens and shoes hit the pavement.
The car door slams shut.
You stare at the front door with anticipation and disbelief as your eyes begin to sting.
7 steps are taken, then the jingling of keys.
The keys clatter to the ground.
“Ugh, man…”
That voice…
You raise your hand and grip the frame of the doorway you’re in to keep yourself on your feet, knees unsteady from sitting too long, you tell yourself.
Your breathing becomes uneven and you can hear your own heart threatening to climb out of your chest cavity.
Keys turn in the heavy wooden door’s lock and soon it’s pushed open, revealing a head of blonde hair and the frame of an extremely tired man that casts a long shadow in the moonlight that seeped in from the window adjacent.
His gaze is focused downward.
He’s wearing a dress shirt with rolled up sleeves and a tie that’s been very sloppily made, along with dark work trousers and a pair of black patent leather shoes. He carries quite the pile of yellow folders in under his left arm and his sleeves are rolled up.
He hasn’t noticed your presence yet, and you’ve yet to announce your self due to your being frozen in place out of pure shock.
He shuts the door behind him with a very big sigh then as he turns around, his eyes meet yours.
And the world falls away.
…
And so do his files.
Right out of his arms and straight to the floor.
“Awake…” he tiredly raises a finger to point at you, surprise evident in his expression.
You take a small step forward and his emotions finally catch up with him.
Suddenly, both of your surroundings are extremely blurry as you make your way towards him.
His shoulders start to droop and his arm falls to his side as he’s stuck in his place.
“The lights weren’t on… and…” his sentence fades off, voice quiet and worn but gaze never leaving yours.
Your foot accidentally kicks a folder as you take your final step to stand in front of him.
The sound makes him look down.
He sniffs and starts to bend down to pick up the mess but you put a soft hand on his shoulder, stopping him and nudging him to stand back up straight so you can observe him.
He can feel the shake in your touch and you can sense the exhaustion radiating off of him.
Your face contorts as tears slip from your eyes.
Relief washes over you like a cool waterfall.
You bring your arms around his middle and pull yourself to his chest.
Nothing needed to be said.
He wraps his bigger frame around yours and it’s like you’re moulded to hold each other.
Just as he begins to squeeze, he winces.
You jump and pull back to look up at him, then you begin to scan him.
Your eyes diligently search for the cause of his pain.
Till you spot a purplish mark on his skin just under his collar.
You immediately begin to hastily unbutton his shirt, cursing your hands for shaking so much. You pull off his tie and throw it to the coatrack before yanking open the white button up to reveal the body of a heavily bruised and cut up husband.
Your heart falls to your feet as your eyes unwillingly spot a new wound everywhere you search.
“Leon…”
He doesn’t protest, he doesn’t say it’s fine.
“I know..”
He simply takes your hands off his shirt and begins to bend down again to pick up his reports. You firmly stop him and begin to lead him to a chair, sitting him down before bending down yourself to take off his shoes.
He winces as you pull of the left one then the right.
You try your best to compose yourself as you then hooking your fingers by the heels of the shoes then turning for the door and place his them at the entrance before then picking up the yellow files scattered across the entryway floor. You pack them in a neatish pile and place them on the cabinet just next to you, not caring for how it looks.
You lock the door by the 3 locks it has then make your way back to your battered husband to hold out your hands to help him stand up.
He sighs then pushes himself off the small suede chair that sits in this welcoming area of your home. He does soon find himself stumbling however, adrenaline and energy GONE.
You catch him.
Then you both make the (what feels like) long journey and definitely painful journey to your shared bedroom.
You sit him down on the edge of the bed and he slouches into the mattress.
He’s clean and they obviously let him change, but they didn’t treat any of his injuries.
You curse them for that.
You turn your back to him to get the first aid kit but as soon as you lift it up and place it on the dresser, you stop.
He’s back…
Almost instantly you turn on your heel and make your way back to where you sat him down on the bed.
He looks up at you with surprise in his expression at your quick pace toward him, which causes him to straighten his posture.
You grab his face and smash your lips into his, all of your emotions coming out all at once.
You cry into that kiss.
So much so that both of your faces end up tear soaked.
…
No, he’s crying too.
He can’t help it and he doesn’t have the willpower or energy to try and hide it.
…
20 minutes later.
There you both sit, eyes puffy as you gently pat salve onto an open cut on his bicep. He’s been practically scrapbooked with how you’ve plastered every single little scrape with bandaids. Hello kitty and superhero themed bandaids of course.
You guys have barely spoken a word to each other but there wasn’t anything that needed to be said, not tonight anyway.
He was home, he was alive and he was warm.
That’s all that mattered.
“Hey…”
You call softly, laying another one flat over another cut.
“Hi…”
He replies.
“I missed you.”
…
“I missed you so so much more…”
…

To Show Kindness.
~ A Red Hood Story
Wrote this a WHILE ago and it’s been sitting in the drafts for atleast a year so.
Cooked this one up after replaying Arkham knight’s Red Hood story pack because I was getting butterflies like some buffoon listening to his stupid little one liners.
Reader is female and in her early 20’s
♠︎♤♠︎♤♠︎♤♠︎♤♠︎♤♠︎♤♠︎♤♠︎♤♠︎♤♠︎♤♠︎♤♠︎
You moved before you could think. You heard a shot, you heard a grunt, you saw that man fall into the water, then you jumped.
The water was salty and it burned your eyes… you just wanted to get some late night emergency groceries… what were you doing? Your heart was beating so fast… you reached your hands out and clasped onto him. You turned yourself around and tried to drag him up to the waters surface but the air shot out of your lungs and rose to the surface with bubbles. He’s heavy, too heavy and you can’t breathe… you turn to look down at him and grab onto more of his clothing only to realise that he’s a brute of a man- with a small cloud of blood rising from his abdomen- but you yank him. You yank him up with dear hope that your praying and adrenaline will save you both of you, if one of you wasn’t already a corpse. Your legs are working overtime and your chest is stinging. With your every struggle you inched closer.
As you were about to clock out physically, your head breaches the surface of the water and you gasp for air and it practically burns your lungs with how deep you breathe.
You pull yourself and this seemingly lifeless log over to a dock. You throw your leg behind a pole and begin dragging this man out of the water. Your breaths were laboured, your eyes hazy and your wet clothes and hair sticking to your cold skin was overwhelming your senses. Those few seconds you were in that water felt like an hour… you flop down on the cold concrete and suck in deep breaths, shutting your eyes to try to process what just happened.
You lay there for a few moments before something seeps under your hand… it’s warm..?
It’s warm…
It’s warm.
Your eyes snap open and you look over to the person you just risked your life for.
A small puddle of watered down blood pools beneath him.
Just as your panic subsided, a wave of coldness washed over you.
You rushed to his side and tried to asses the injury… never mind you can’t see it, he’s wearing some sort of body armour… body armour? Anyway, let’s just look for signs of life then.. a pulse..a pulse.. your eyes scan his body to look for an open area of skin near his neck or wrists… neither are visible… NEITHER ARE VISIBLE?!?! Your heart picks up its pace as you begin to panic again, what the hell is this guy wearing??? You look up to his face and everything stops…. The world falls silent… you can’t even hear your own heart beat. That mask… all those witness news reports… all those newspaper articles… ones that you’ve never payed that much attention to but still skimmed over … but maybe you should have paid attention… maybe you should stand up right now and run away… No… no maybe, you should already be running.
All your could hear was your laboured breaths as your hands started to shake… your eyes were glued to that mask… that cherry red mask…
A vigilante…
though that was common in this dark, demented city… there was one that did business differently.
All caped crusaders held by this one certain rule:
No Killing.
But one… adorned with no cape…
Liked to break that rule.
You didn’t care that he was a so called hero to some… he killed people… took lives… albeit they were bad people…still…
Who the hell did you save?
Warmth seeped beneath your knees. Your eyes traveled down to the puddle of crimson.
He’s dying…
You look back to his shiny red helmet. What do you do? What even is there to do? Do you call the police? Do you run away? Do you.. let him die?
Let him die…?
How could you even think that?
Let someone die??
Someone you’ve just risked your own life for???
You shake your head, contemplating your life’s decisions as you reach over and attempt to pick him up.
You grunt as you try to slither yourself underneath his right arm so you can support his weight.
You shakily get to your feet and drag him to your car, his legs shlepped along behind you, leaving a long trail of smudged blood, groceries long forgotten.
Luckily you were dumb and tired enough to leave your vehicle open… so you whipped open the door and pushed with all the might you had left onto your back seat. You threw the door shut then plopped down in the drivers seat.
You sat there, staring straight ahead but at nothing in particular as tears pricked your eyes.
What am I doing?
I almost died…
You sniffle and slap your face.
He’ll die if I don’t help him.
You start the car and drive off, heading straight for your place of living.
You stopped at the least used entrance and quickly went around to collect the anti-hero laying on your backseat.
Grandpa Ansen is gonna kill me..
Both sopping wet, You lug the large man out of the car and over to the door. You searched your drenched pockets for the key and unlocked the door.
You groaned as you pulled the extra weight inside before freezing after someone clears their voice
“What an interesting grocery, fille.”
You felt your heart drop straight to your feet…
“I didn’t think you were still up grandpa Ansen…”
The old German man sighs…
“You promised me instant noodles.”
You both remain silent. The only the audible, are the drops of water from your clothes hitting the floor.
“Is that unmensch bleeding all over my wood floors?”
“.. I’m afraid so…”
The old man sighs deeper and you wince internally.
“Take him…upstairs there is a medical kit. I’m just a senile old man, what could I have possibly seen…”
“Grandpa…” you stare at him, gratitude filling your heart.
Grandpa Ansen turns around with his hands behind his back and dodders away.
“Good night fille, you owe me noodles.”
“Goodnight Grandpa.”
After much effort of trying to keep yourself standing in an elevator ride to the top floor of the small apartment building, you drag the seemingly lifeless man into your small attic room.
Grandpa Ansen has let you stay here for very little rent for the past year because he thinks you similar to his granddaughter that passed away a few years ago, So you help him out with any and all menial task he may have as thanks.
The room you have is homey and cozy, decorated with small little trinkets and anything you find interesting.
You try to place the man gently, well as gently as you can, on your small lounge chair before sitting down on your bed a little ways across from him. You’re reeling and still trying to catch your breath and perhaps maybe make sense of this whole thing,
Is he even still alive?
You ponder as you stare at him.
You tie up your hair and push your doubts aside, deciding the pondering best be left for later.
“Sorry… oh I’m so sorry..” you whisper to him as your begin lifting off his red helmet. You place it down on the floor then pull his body up to remove his heavy leather jacket. You put that to one side before trying to figure out how to unclip this armoured chest plate of his.
Eventually he lay there in a simple black turtle neck that had a gaping hole where he seems to have been shot.
You place your two fingers on his neck to check for a pulse, squeezing your eyes shut in fear of no response.
Then you wait…
You breathed a sigh of relief..
You grabbed the pair of long tweezers and lifted up his shirt, preparing to pull out the bullet.
“ I thank you, spur of the moment emergency medical course I took 4 years ago…”
Plink.
Huh?
Plink?
Did something fall?
You look down at the floor to inspect only to spot a small deformed copper-coloured looking object, covered in a bit of blood.
…
Isn’t that?
You look back up at the wound on his abdomen only to find that it’s stopped bleeding.
Huh??
Wh
What???
You blink your eyes 4 times in confusion then reach for a steriliser.
You wipe up the excess blood and spray on some antibacterial safeguard before sticking on a big plaster and wrapping him up with some gauze.
You take a deep breath and sit back. “Right then… live I guess…”
You then slap his knee twice for good measure and stand up, heading off to take a much deserved warm shower.
…
Maybe you should just turn the heater up a bit just in case…
Clink clink
You grab a pair of clothes that are suitable for sleep but could also be worn in case your guest woke up and needed help. Then off you trod to the bathroom down the corridor.
As you walked, you contemplated your situation…
The clothes you were wearing were cold against your skin but the feeling seemed to be so small compared to the wave of thoughts consuming your mind.
Red hood was not a crowd favourite, but he did help people. Why does he though? Where did he come from anyway? And what’s with his very public gripe with The Batman?
As you turned on the shower and stepped inside you continued down this rabbit hole of endless questions.
Was he someone who lost a loved one due to one of Gotham’s many psycho villains and is angry that Gotham’s “protector” didn’t dish out what he sees as “justice?”
….
Maybe you’re letting your imagination run wild again.
A side effect of being a connoisseur of the arts.
You let the salty ocean water melt off, trying your absolute best to just think rationally about the whole situation, to keep your rising anxiety to a minimum.
…
It wasn’t really working.
When you finish up and open up the shower curtain, the room is filled with warm mist and smells of the body wash you used. It was comforting to come back to some normalcy. So much so that after you’re dressed, you’d almost completely forgotten about the stranger who’s currently (hopefully) still passed out in your apartment.
You hum as you make your way back down the hall, slippers patting against the tile.
Was any of that even real?
You ask yourself.
Well even if it was, he’s probably already left out the window right? There’s no way he’d stick around.
Convincing yourself that this was most likely the case was easy. Hell of a lot easier than building the courage to now have to face one of the most feared vigilantes in Gotham.
You lift your keys to the door and push it open, sighing as you rub your neck to relive to tension. Who would have guessed that lugging a 225 lbs, six foot log of a man would have pulled a few muscles.
You don’t even have both feet through the door yet before something grabs you by the bicep and chucks you to the floor before slamming its knee into your back, PAINFULLY.
It felt like your heart was gonna climb out of your mouth by the way it hammered in your chest and before you could even choke out a word, there was a cold, sharp steel pressed to your throat.
Your eyes were glued to the floor.
Suddenly everything was deafening.
Nausea quickly set in as you forgot how to breathe.
“Talk.”
This voice was deep and demanding, leaving no room for debate.
Your breathing was erratic, your brain wasn’t even functioning right-
“a-about what-”
“Don’t get smart.”
You winced as he dug his knee into your spine.
“Who the fuck are you and where the fuck am I?”
…
He doesn’t remember…
You couldn’t even talk as the thoughts began to fly around your head.
What if he kills me because he thinks I kidnapped him???
What if he kills me because I saw his face???
…
Did I risk my life only to die at the hands of the person I saved..?
“Hellooo?? Are you deaf? I told you to talk, n’ I don’t enjoy having to ask something twice.”
His voice was loud as he put pressure on the blade, just breaking the skin enough to scare you.
“OKAY- okay-okay,okay-” your voice broke as you spoke, squeezing your eyes shut.
“I pulled you out of the harbor- you got shot and”
You try your hardest to think of a way to explain the event in a way that made sense but it was hard. Someone like him doesn’t believe in funny coincidences, you gather.
“I was- I was at the store nearby and I heard gunshots and I saw you fall into the water- I didn’t even think, I just jumped and I pulled you out-”
“You expect me to believe that shit??” He laughed bitterly, cutting you off.
“n’ what? You decided to be the good samaritan and bring me home to patch me up? Seriously?”
You let out a shaky breath in fear.
“It’s true- it’s true I swear… I don’t know who shot you I didn’t get a good look at your face or anything I promise please….please…”
“Why not take me to a hospital?”
“I don’t think you’re exactly welcome in a public hospital- NO OFFENCE- I just.. I just thought it’d be better to bring you back here since it was closer where your uhm identity would stay more of a secret than if you were checked into a hospital…”
You panicked as the words fell out of your mouth, you were surely digging your own grave here, maybe taking him to the hospital would have been for the best but no, you had to try and be considerate to the person whose literally famous for killing people he thinks have done wrong. He doesn’t know you, he can’t trust you, you could be lying for all he knows. This could all be some elaborate ploy set up by someone that wants him off the streets.
He scoffs.
“You’re seriously going with the act? Well, sorry buttercup but no one in this shithole is that nice, so you better start telling the truth or you’re gonna loose a finger.”
“IM TELLING THE TRUTH I SWEAR I SWEAR PLEASE YOU CAN EVEN GO BACK TO WHERE I FOUND YOU MY GROCERY BAG IS STILL THERE-”
You had had enough of salt water for one night so the salty tears slipping down your cheeks burned and stung, landing on the cold wood floor under you.
It was silent…
One second passed then two, you didn’t dare to move.
You stayed frozen in your position till the pressure on your back and the sharp blade by your throat were gone.
Your eyes hesitantly fluttered open at the sound of heavy boots walking around the right side of you.
“Get up.”
…
Was… did he believe you?
You push yourself off the floor and wipe your cheeks.
Your gaze follows him to the other side of the room where he’s currently inspecting his jacket, still soaking wet accompanied by the scent of fish.
He groans in frustration as he watches the droplets drop down to the wood flooring, his brows knitting together.
“Why’d you take my helmet off?”
You sniff,
His voiced was less intimidating than before but still held grit to remind you that he’s not lowered his guard.
“I couldn’t check your pulse… and you weren’t breathing… so I took it off, I’m sorry…”
He glances over at you, clad in your pyjamas with a tear stained face looking frazzled, as if someone just threatened you at knifepoint…
Oh wait.
“Right…okay.”
…
“I won’t tell anyone I swear.”
He lets out a crude, short laugh.
“Well I’m not gonna have you sign and NDA or anything so as long as you’re the only one that knows I’m h…”
He cuts himself off as he observes your open your mouth to talk but no words coming out, a nervous expression on your face.
He sighs.
“What?”
“The old man who owns the building- he he saw us come in-” you gesture to the door behind you as you explain.
He groans, hanging his head and closing his eyes in frustration “fuck.”
“He didn’t see your face! Your helmet was still on, I only took it off when I sat you down up here…. He didn’t even know who you were… he doesn’t go out much or read the news or watch tv- so he’s oblivious. Really. He doesn’t even know who Red hood is so please..”
He narrows his eyes at you.
“What type of fucking monster do you think I am? I’m not just gonna murder a little old man, what the hell???”
“I dunno- I’m sort of panicking here I just know you kill people b-but I know you help people too-”
“I kill those who deserve to be put down. Rapists and the like, I don’t go around killing random people woman- what is wrong with you…?”
You give him a blank sort of stare.
Sure, maybe there was a lot wrong with you considering you just dragged a costume wearing vigilante out of the ocean and to your house and said vigilante just held a blade to your jugular but you know. Details.
“Anyway-” he shrugs his wet jacket on and makes his way to his helmet to inspect if it’s gained any damage.
“Thanks for the help but I wasn’t here, cool?”
He places it under his arm and turns to head for the window.
You do feel some relief now that he’s leaving and that he doesn’t seem to be mad.
Your eyes fall to the small copper speck on the ground that so elegantly tumbled from his abdomen earlier and rush to pick it up “please take this with you- it fell out while I was cleaning you up.” You stretch out your arm and hold the bullet with as little contact as possible, only the nails of your index and thumb keeping it between your fingers.
He raises a brow at the small object in your hand before bringing his eyes down to his stomach, spotting the bloody splotches on his shirt he puts two and two together. You’d probably not know what to do with a bullet or how to get rid of it.
He grabs it from you and puts it in his pocket “thanks. Bye.” He slips his helmet on and before you know it he’s already got one boot out the window.
“Bye….”
He’s gone.
You drop to your knees and sigh very VERY deeply. This was one of the most stressful nights of your life. You deserve a sweet treat after all that for sure, luckily you did buy a bag of white rabbit sweets at the store.
…
“Aw… my groceries…”

Here we are at my first entry into the fanfiction space on tumblr with a fanfic I wrote when I was like 13 💀
I did spruce up a few things as to not be so cringé~
This is also my own timeline since Jason’s first appearance as the Red Hood was in 2005 but his first appearance as Robin was in 1983. So I set this back a few years so Jason is in his early to mid twenties to make more sense, since he became Red Hood at 18-19 n it took him a couple years to warm back up to Bruce.
I hope you enjoy…

Christmas at Wayne Manor….
( listened to this while writing it ) (the video was removed so I added another one)
Wayne Manor
Gotham city
1994
It was a cold winter night in Gotham city, many people shutting their windows and snuggling close their fires.
Sitting alone in front of another fire, inside the beautiful walls of Wayne manor with Alfred the cat at foot and pen in hand was you, (Y/n). Writing a story about a town with peculiar a ruby red road and even more peculiar residents. Writing was a hobby of yours, you liked making up stories and writing them down as a fun way to pass the time. You weren't paying much attention to what was going on around you as you had lost your train of thought between the dancing flames of the fireplace. Old fashioned Christmas music flew from one ear and out the other.
You were alone this snowy evening.
Just because it’s Christmas doesn't mean that our beloved Wayne family is off duty, though you remained hopeful nonetheless.. hoping a certain member of this family would visit you.
Jason Todd
Man.. were you whipped for him and his white highlights.
But alas it was 40 Minutes past midnight and no sign of Mister Todd or any of the Bat-family members.
So you continued to daydream..
Jason was always nice to you.. well he never said anything mean.. or anything at all... ever.. but that didn't mean that he didn’t care for you, right? You couldn’t think of anything you had done nothing to anger him, so theres no reason for him to hate you, is there?
You had been crushing on Jason since you first saw him when he was Robin. You were not a risk-taker, per se, but you were a curious person. Curiosity got the better of you when you saw a pointy eared shadow, followed it, got caught by Batman, Robin was careless and had already taken off his mask at that point and called Bruce by his name, so on and so on, n’ now you’re one of the secret holders of the Bat family. You've even done a few recon missions with The Bat. He mostly told you to sit in one place and stay quiet and alert him if you saw anything suspicious or caught any incriminating chatter among guards but still.
You weren't athletically incapable, you could at least do a couple pushups and run at a decent pace as to not be complete dead weight. Although, you have been getting more fit though since you’re living with Batman. (You had moved in 3 years ago since it was just easier and they had an extra room.)
You were so completely lost in thought you didn't hear the large front doors open or the sound of heavy boots walking on the marble floors.
The person stopped in the doorway of the office were you were sitting in and stared at you for a moment. You, still oblivious to the world around you, failed to notice this presence.
"What's got you so spaced?"
A raspy voice said behind your ear.
You almost had a heart attack. Your head flung around and you came nose to nose with the visitor you had hoped to have.
Your face instantly heated up, you tried so hard not to react as he stared at you wide-eyed, surprised by your startled reaction.
You pulled away quickly and turned your back to him in attempt to hide your rosey cheeks.
It stayed quite for a small moment before Jason cleared his throat.
"… you’re up late. Aren’t you usually in your room at this hour?”
He said as he dropped his helmet on the foot stool, plopped down on the couch and stretched his arms out over the top of the seat.
"uh-"
Your eyes wandered over to him.
You looked at the way he was sitting and your face instantly turned beet red all over again. You averted your gaze as you said
"Just because l'm in my room doesn't mean Im sleeping..."
"Ahh the anti-social type. I get you,l get you" he said with a chuckle and you cringed internally.
'Well great. Now he thinks l'm anti-social. I mean, I don’t really like anyone in this awful city but still.' You thought to yourself.
"Hey why don't you come and sit over here. You tryna set yourself alight sitting so close to the fire or something?" he laughed.
Your heart skipped a beat and you tried to come up with an excuse as fast as possible. You could atleast hide your flusteredness sitting where you wer. Chalk  the redness of your cheeks up to a reflection of the fire on your skin.
"U-uh, I can't. Alfred's sleeping on my feet sorry-"
He raised a sceptical brow.
"Ps Ps. Alfred" he whispered. The two-toned kitty stretched and gazed tiredly over at Jason.
"Come er'e” he whispered again as he beckoned the cat over.
Alfred stood up from his comfy position on your feet and waltzed over to Jason, jumped up on the couch and curled up in the space between Jason's legs.
"Well now he's laying over here.” Jason said as his eyes fell on you. You sighed deeply and Jason snickered in triumph. You slowly walked over to him and plopped down next to him.
You both sat there in silence for a while listening to the crackle of the fire.
"You know I don't get you.." Jason suddenly spoke up "hm?" you replied, your face turning to him.
"I mean why didn't ditch when you found out about us."
"Well- how do you mean?"
"Well this family.. you know what we are-" he said
"Jezz, you make it sound like you're all vampires, don’t say it like that” You laughed.
"Ay maybe we are, I've died and come back to life. For all you know I could be sucking people dry every evening~" he said as he leaned closer and used his hands to make fangs
"Thank you! for putting that wonderful image in my mind! I now feel instantly uncomfortable." you said leaning forward to put your elbows on your knees, rubbing your forehead as he chortles.
"Still though it takes guts. Being apart’ve all this. It’s not easy." he said returning to his original position "thanks?" you replied.
After a few more seconds, he spoke up again.
"Why’re you so on edge? I’m not actually a bloodsucker y’know…" he asked as he eyed you over, chuckling.
"Hm? oh well... this is kinda the first time you've ever talked to me, so l'm kinda tryna figure out how l'm supposed to act.." you smile, trying to relax.
"Really?! You’re kidding right?? theres no way-" he said in astonishment but you cut him off by nodding your head.
"Wow... and we've known each other since I was Robin.. I mean I know I'm not at the mansion all that often but still… wow.. crazy." he said in exasperation.
"You know just because we haven't had the pleasure of exchanging words before doesn't mean that I haven't been paying attention.." he said looking down at Alfred as you looked at him with nervously.
"huh?”
"I've noticed you staring at me through the corner of my eye.. always used to think maybe you thought I looked funny….” He extends his leg and runs his eyes over his boot. “n’ then a couple years went by and I thought, oh c’mon she musta gotten used to my ugly mug now so… what’s the deal?” he said as his lips gradually spread into a smirk, looking over to you without turning his head.
Your heart sunk.
“I mean… stealing little glances… cheeks turning red.. there’s really only one thing a guy can guess..”
You sit there practically burning holes into the floor with how you’re staring at it.
“The Christmas music is really not helping me think of a sentence to say.” You pull a face to try and focus but you physically cannot.
Jason laughs breathlessly at your reaction. “I’m sure you’ll think of a good excuse eventually.. n plus…It's cute.." he says. You could feel your legs turn to jelly as those words left his mouth. K.O.
Jason looked over to you as your ears are dusted in a deep shade of red "aw man" he laughs and you looked at him with shock.
‘???????’
"I'm just gonna go and die in my sleep, you have a great Christmas now mister Todd, haha. Buh-bye!” you said as you stood up in a panic and sped-walked over to the door, an over dramatised customer service grin plastered on your face.
"Hey, hey! (y/n) wait! You miss what I said before??” he calls out to you.
You oeme to a stop.
"We may not have exchanged any words but that doesn't mean I wasn't paying attention.."
Your heart dropped down to your feet ‘yeah…. He definitely knows.’ You stood there for a second before you heard the most brilliant words in your mind……
‘book it’
At full speed you tried to escape the impending doom of your heart as you begun making your way out the door.
"Sit down."
The sudden strength in Jason’s tone sent chills down your arms and stopped you in your tracks.
"It's so rude to walk away when you're in the middle of a conversation…”
You dropped your head and walked over the the sofa across from him
"Next to me."
Your heart rate was going insane, this encounter had for sure taken at least 10 years off your life.
You hesitantly schlepped your feet over to him and sunk into the place the furthest away from him, which still pretty much had you squished right next to him.
"Sorry Alfred, you’re gonna have to get up now." he said softly ushering the cat off his seat.
"Now…. Eyes up…" he said
Your eyes refused, they could only muster as far as his lower abdomen.
He gently grabbed your jaw with his right hand and lifted your face to look at him. Your heart was beating so fast that you started worrying if he could hear it.
"What about me? I barely say a word and you run away… don't I get a say in the matter?" He said in a low tone as his crystal blue eyes focused onto yours.
"Relax." He breathed as his hand that was on your jaw glided down to the nape of your neck and rested there.
"I didn't object did I?" he said with a smirk as he pulled your face nearer to his own looking down to your lips as he brought his own closer, you closed your eyes as your breath hitched in anticipation….
‘?’
You still felt nothing after a few seconds and became increasingly confused.
"Merry Christmas (y/n)." he whispered.. then the warmth of his body vanished. You opened your eyes in curiosity only to see him walking away. "Oh and would you be a doll and put my helmet back in the Bat cave for me? thanks. You have a good night now…" he said chuckling as he exited the room, waving goodbye nonchalantly.
You snapped back to reality and your head was instantly spinning. Your heart was going crazy and the butterflies in your tummy were performing aerobic manoeuvres worthy of a flight show as you sat there in pure shock.
"HUH?"
He heard from the doctor room behind him as he walked away…
“Hehehe…. Cute.”
ZEE END HAHA!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Now that I have your attention.
I’ve had tumblr for a while now and all I do is read silly little fanfics 💀
I’ve written a few in my time and thought it’d be banger to post my old ones I wrote on ol wattpad here and upload some new silly little ones. I didn’t write much and didn’t write them when I was like… 14 😭😭 but I promise the one specific one I’m thinking of is banger I SWEAR.
Anyway, so I’ll be yammering on now about what type of stories I’ll bubble bubble toil n trouble and what characters I’ll be writing about.
Most of my stuff is like purely what I would what to experience but it’s not smut, na mean?
I like writing cozy stuff or stuff that makes you feel static in the brain. A nostalgic type feeling ig?
Universes I’ll write about:
⚀ ( Resident evil )
⚁ ( Dc Universe )
⚂ ( Red Dead Redemption 2 )
⚃ ( Naruto )
This is all that I can think of the the moment but I probably will add more in the future
