——————————————————————————————-
MICHAEL
His hands shake, those signature rings flash taunts at him. They ridicule and mock him for making one more idiotic choice in the long list that have made up his life.
He’s toxic to everyone he touches.
Why Michael ever thought it was a clever idea to breed….to make another nightmare come to life.
The Jerome man sits beside him on the sofa. He moved over when Jim stormed over to the balcony, Duncan hot on his heels. Y/N has taken the armchair, her arms wrapped around herself.
She watches Michael carefully, as if he’s a bomb ready to explode. ‘Say something, Michael…please.’
But he can’t. There are no words that will come to him, because if Michael speaks he’ll overflow and all the rage, hurt and grief will ebb like a tidal wave and he must be strong.
Despite his world collapsing he must be strong.
‘What are the implications for you?’ Jerome asks Y/N. ‘There’s no direct consequence here for you, is there?’
‘It doesn’t seem so.’ Y/N answers, ‘But…we’re not exactly dealing with a normal baby here.’
Jerome’s lips quirk up into a grin, ‘You could never do anything normal, could you?’
Y/N smiles back, ‘Getting involved in a foursome. No, I don’t think that’s norm for most people.’
‘Get rid of it.’
Both Y/N and Jerome’s head snap to the balcony. Jim stands there with eyes of fire. His hands flex into fists and then release as he stalks over to Michael. The Antichrist stands, knowing the fight was about to come sooner or later when Jim’s fist slams into his jaw. The crack resounds around the room from a blow that would have anyone fully human unconscious.
Slowly, ever so slowly Michael turns his head back to face Jim. But the boy isn’t done. He lands the second punch to Michael’s jaw, an uppercut and Michael feels something crunch from the impact. Duncan’s arms fling themselves around Jim right as the boy is about the launch himself at Michael. ‘LET ME KILL HIM!’
Y/N has sprung to her feet. She puts her hands on Jim’s shoulders, looking directly into his eyes. ‘You lay another finger on him Jim and you’ll be out!’
The beach boy’s eyes are crazed by now, ‘You’re defending him. HIM!’ He manages to shove Duncan off him, a finger jabbing in Michael’s direction. ‘HE’S GOING TO KILL MY CHILD!’
‘We’ll find a way.’ Y/N is adamant, her hands still holding onto Jim. ‘I’m not letting anything happen to these babies.’ She glances to Michael, ‘Either of them.’
‘Cool it, Jim.’ Duncan hisses in his ear, ‘This is not the place.’
‘Easy for you to say.’ Jim bites back, ‘What have you got in this? Nothing?’
The weight of Jim’s words hits Duncan. He lets the boy go and he charges for Michael. The Antichrist does nothing. He knows he deserves it, every single atom of Jim’s rage he deserves. Jim raises his fist again, his eyes focused on where he can do the most damage. Michael just watches him, waiting for the blow.
‘Jim.’ Y/N speaks again, ‘Don’t.’
He wavers and then Jim’s fist falls by his side. He glowers at Michael and then keels down into a crouch, ‘FUCK!’
‘You’re right.’ Michael whispers, ‘I…I don’t know what I was thinking.’ His eyes flick to Duncan, ‘I was jealous. You had Y/N and Duncan had just taken her. I was enraged and I did what I always do. I make a mess. I ruin everything.’ Michael knows his eyes are glassy, but he can’t stop himself. ‘But things will be different. I won’t let it go the way my birth did, Jim. I swear it to you. I swear it on Y/N’s life.’
‘That doesn’t mean shit to me.’ Jim hisses, ‘You and your genes are cancer.’
It’s like bearing the weight of a hundred gunshots. Michael staggers back, Jim’s words far more painful than any physical blow.
‘You take that back.’ Y/N says, ‘Right now.’
‘And still you defend him.’ Jim rounds on her, throwing his arms out to the side.
‘Back off, man.’ Jerome puts himself in front of Y/N. ‘Think of the babies, sport. Stress isn’t good for a pregnant mother.’
‘His baby monster is killing mine and you stand there and defend him till the end of your days.’
‘I believe in Michael.’ Y/N shoots back, ‘I know he would never let anything happen to your child, Jim.’
Jim looks to Duncan for back-up. The Media Mogul hesitates, his eyes flashing round the room. Michael can feel the turmoil radiating off him, but Michael cannot suppress the one thought rocking round Duncan Shepherd’s mind.
They aren’t his. He’s lost.
‘We monitor the pregnancy.’ Duncan decides, ‘Right now Jim’s baby is the smallest because he’s the runt. But if this….this alpha baby starts depriving him.’ His eyes fix on Michael, ‘We’ll have to take action.’
There’s a horrible silence and then Y/N’s hand slips over her stomach. ‘No matter what any of you say. I’m not losing my babies. Not for anything.’
‘But you’ll let mine die.’
’That isn’t going to happen, Jim!’ Y/N repeats, her voice rising again. ‘You are so cynical about everything-’
Jim’s lip cocks up into a sneer, ‘I never had a shot with you.’ He says, ‘It’s always gonna be him. It’s always gonna be Michael Langdon, the spawn of the literal devil. You know I risked everything for you. I moved from PV, I don’t speak to my sister much anymore, I’m penniless and living in this fucking apartment under Duncan’s nose because I stand not being near you. And what is it all for? You’ll always choose him.’ Jim’s eyes flick back to Duncan, ‘We were never a long-standing option.’
‘That’s not true.’ Michael has to pipe up, ‘You weren’t with her when things fell apart. Y/N…she was miserable. We both were.’
‘The fact remains Michael,’ Duncan interjects, ‘That your child has the potential to end Jim’s. Just like what happened with you and Jeffrey.’
‘Don’t.’ Michael pleads, his voice catching. ‘I didn’t mean to. I had no idea! And neither does the baby. I’ll….I’ll talk to them.’
Jim heads back out onto the balcony. He swipes a cigarette from his pocket and lights it, inhaling a large puff of smoke. Y/N watches him, her mouth hanging slightly open. The despair is clear in her eyes as she walks over to Duncan. He slides his arms around her at once, pulling her into his chest. ‘It isn’t true.’ She says, ‘I love all of you so much. I just want things how they used to be.’
Duncan simply nods, holding her against him.
——————————————————————————————-
DUNCAN
The moment passes in silence as Y/N calms down, getting ahold of her breathing. She feels so good against him, warm and soft. Duncan can only imagine the bump that will soon be between them, those little babies sheltered in Y/N’s stomach.
Babies that aren’t his.
Duncan has been trying to shield his thoughts from Michael, but he knows it’s impossible. It’s selfish, he knows that too. But Duncan would be lying if he said that a part of him did not die on hearing that irrevocable news.
So he’ll take whatever he can get before he’s pushed out. Before the twins become the most important thing in his loved one’s lives.
Y/N clings to him like a child, her nose pressed into him. She inhales his aftershave, before looking up at him. ‘I’m so sorry, Duncan.’
He forces a smile, ‘Don’t be. You’re giving birth to two beautiful babies. You’ll be an excellent mother.’
Y/N looks as if she’s going to say something, but she holds her tongue. She nods against him as Jerome steps over to Michael. The Salesman pulls a face, ‘You’re uh…bleeding there.’
He’s not wrong. Michael looks like shit. Jim got him good, a shiner forming round his right eye while his nose has swollen like a clown’s. Michael’s fingers prod at his nose and winces. It must feel tender, swollen. There’s blood gushing from his nostrils.
Duncan shoves down the pang of sympathy forming in his gut.
He knew what he was doing. He know how this would turn out.
Y/N breaks away from Duncan to take hold of Michael by the jaw, inspecting him. ‘This is too far.’ She murmurs, taking some tissue and holding it under Michael’s nose.
‘No.’ He says, ‘Jim’s within his right to be angry.’
‘You should….get that seen to.’ Duncan offers, lamely. He’s laced his fingers together for something to do. He looks to Jerome who just twists his mouth into a crease before sinking onto the couch. ‘Fuck me.’ He mutters, ‘Twins.’
‘This doesn’t mean you aren’t as important.’ It seems Michael couldn’t hold back from voicing his thoughts. ‘Just cause-’
‘Thank you.’ Duncan says, cutting him off quickly. He looks between Michael and Y/N. They always looks so perfect next to each other, ready to conquer the world and annihilate it. ‘Well….my apartment is always available. A kind of…safe space between you both.’
‘You’d do that?’ The wonder is clear in Michael’s voice.
‘Yeah.’ Duncan says, ‘No offence but…I don’t trust either of you right now and…Jerome’s right…we shouldn’t stress the kids.’
Michael nods to himself, lost in his own thoughts. ‘I’ll…..leave for now then.’
‘You don’t have to go anywhere.’ Y/N insists, ‘Not right now. I don’t think you should be alone.’
‘I’ll be fine.’ Michael chokes out the lie, ‘I promise.’ He places a kiss on her cheeks, whispering something Duncan can’t hear. Y/N breaks out into a smile though, her hand rubbing his shoulder.
Michael approaches the balcony, leaning against it. ‘Jim,’ He calls. ‘I’m leaving now.’
‘Good.’ Jim doesn’t look at Michael. He just continues rolling his cigarette between his fingers.
‘Jim I know you’re hurting right now.’ Michael keeps trying, ‘I know you don’t want to listen to me and that you despise me right now. But I love you and your baby. I would never do anything to hurt either of you, or Y/N.’ Y/N joins Duncan, leaning against him slightly. She laces the fingers of her left hand in his, Duncan’s thumb running over them. He watches Michael toss his hair over his shoulder and finally square his shoulders. ‘But I love my child too.’ The Antichrist says, ‘And I am going to do everything and anything to make sure they come into this world. Nothing will get in the way of that.’
Jim tenses, clearly listening to every single word. Michael takes his leave, sweeping from the apartment with a kiss to Y/N’s cheek. ‘I’ll be in touch.’ He says, ‘Look after them, please.’
‘We will.’ Jerome chirps, waving Michael off.
A muscle in Michael’s jaw twitches, but he says nothing to the Travelling Salesman. The moment the front door is closed, Duncan turns to Jerome. ‘Let’s get one thing crystal clear.’ He says, ‘I appreciate all you’ve done, I really do. But this is my house and you’re with people I love. That doesn’t mean you’re on an equal plateau.’
‘I’m just pointing out that you’re at work 24/7.’ Jerome’s says, ‘And if this is a safe spot that means fisticuffs can’t stay here either.’
Jim re-enters at that moments, ‘The fuck? I’m staying with my kid.’
‘Actually he has a point.’ Y/N moves over to take Jim’s hands in hers. ’Till this is sorted out, I think it’s best we get you a hotel room.’
Duncan nods, ‘Just because that way there’s no claiming, or any of that shit.’ He explains quickly, ‘You both can visit Y/N whenever you like and there’s no…underhand stuff.’
‘Meanwhile you get to play happy families.’ Jim eyes Duncan, ‘I know what you’re doing, I’m not dumb.’
‘Our…associate makes a point.’ Duncan sighs, ‘I do have work. Which means that I can’t support Y/N as much as I would like to. Even by working remotely.’
‘Sounds like more reason for me to stay-’
‘Or, I have Jerome stick around.’ Y/N cuts Jim off.
The Salesman breaks out into a grin, ‘You know I do need a place to stay for a couple’a months.’
Duncan blinks, ‘Absolutely not.’
‘You just said you don’t have the time to take care of me.’ Y/N says, ‘Who better to help than a friend?’
‘No.’ Jim and Duncan say it at the same time.
‘Too bad you don’t get the final say.’ Y/N heads into the kitchen. She rummages in the fridge and produces a can of coke and the sandwich Duncan was saving for lunch tomorrow. ‘Jerome stays. Jim goes to a hotel but can visit whenever he likes, as can Michael.’
‘And if this killer baby turns deadly?’ Jim asks, arcing an eyebrow at her.
‘We cross that if it happens.’ Y/N takes a huge bite of Duncan’s sandwich, cracking the can open.
Jerome smirks, patting Duncan on the shoulder as he floats towards the bedrooms, ‘Guess I’m you’re new nanny. I’ll go unpack my briefcase.’
*Duncan, with his last breaths looks up at the tower and sees the signal fires burning* : Maker protect them.
*Duncan thinks about Alistair talking about wearing a dress and Jereth constantly calling him “Dad”, despite being told to stop... Repeatedly. *
: The world is doomed.
N/A: this idea came to me as djinmer4 give some ideas, oh Kitty you adorable naive thing, Kurt Waggoner is a force to be reckoned in his own way. No one dies here and the porn is ...up to your imagination.
@djinmer4
Everything changes, nothing remains without change.– Buddha
Kitty Pryde was a girl that used to have a normal life, but that quickly changes with the sentinels and transform the once normal girl into a fugitive. And along the ride, Kitty turns to fugitive to a Jewish swashbuckling, when asked why the reply is often why not.
But once the war is over, once all the robots are, by all accounts, destroyed things should return to the normal, instead, things change once again. Some staff members of the school are happy to see Kitty, an ugly reminder that the war was no illusion, no bad Sci-fi movie and some members can´t help by being passive aggressive with Kitty.
It was a lonely experience that Kitty was enduring until...
"Katzchen," Kurt Waggoner said kindly " let´s eat together" he offers kindly and she takes his hand, Kurt Waggoner is just too shy(and cute) and doesn´t see a problem in hold hands with a girl who carries a sword.
"Does Jubilee and the others will join us?" she asked joyfully and Kurt, with his golden eyes, gaze into her brown eyes.
"Nein, Jubilee and the others are in detention," he said using his tail to scratch his head " they went into a fight with other students and well, zero tolerance means everyone gets detention" then he adds " we can go see them after, knowing them havoc won´t stop so soon"
Kitty quite like Jubilee, she is funny and takes no one shits.
"That is a plan, my dear genius fuzzy elf," she said smiling and Kurt beam at this.
"I know, thanks swashbuckling Katzchen" and they finally found a spot to eat, the conversation is soothing("Wanna see what I have in my spiderman box?" "that is quite an honour, not sure if I´m ready such commitment" "ok, then I´ll wait until you are ready" "what? no, I´m curious" "moving on, Katzchen")
They giggles, learn a little more about the other(this relationship only begin has 3 weeks but feels like a lifetime) and eat. Well, an awkward moment finally install for Kitty, in an anime fashion she forget the lanch, once again(how Kitty is so distracted? Is the second time this happen)
"Katzchen, you silly Katzchne is the second time you forget your lunch," he said with his tail flipping around in a happy cat motion " want to share the Butternocken?"
"Oh, German food," she said happily, "yes, German food is the best one" and Kitty is forever thankful for Kurt´s kindness. She could buy lunch, but, sharing is caring(she vows to be extra careful with her lunch next time, Ororo did the food with love and care)
They are sharing the food and Kurt couldn´t be pleased. Katzchen does like German food(Hercules is a good cooker, better than Logan) and everything is at peace, until...
"Hey, Pryde" a boy approaches them. The boy is a built blonde boy with blue eyes that is sitting way too close of Kitty for Kurt´s liking. " Do you want to leave the nerd for a moment and sit with us?" the flirty attitude didn´t go well for Kurt in the slightest.
"First off, his name is Kurt Waggoner, second, please don´t take this in the wrong way but you scream 'I´m a douchbag' and if you insist I have a sword and I know how to use and if you try to do anything else...I´ll call an X-men to deal with this, right Nightcrawler?" she said looking into his golden eyes and Kurt smiles(is too ambiguous) and analyse the blue eyes, blonde American boy. Duncan Smith, human and a name Kurt won´t forget.
"Yes, I´m an X-men, " the boy looks affronted and narrow his eyes at the blue boy and reluctantly steps away, the body language clearly says he wants to fight but too many witnesses (and fear, an X-men is still an X-men) tells it is a bad idea and the boy walks away before saying.
"Pryde, when you get tired, there´s always a table for you," the boy said and walks away to sit with his friends. Now, laughing and talking charmingly with his friends and sending looks to Kitty Pryde.
Kurt´s golden eyes are focused on the boy for a moment until Kitty snapped him back to reality. Her sweet and kind words are enough to soothe him(for now) and prompt they back to the German food.
"Kurt, don´t mind him, he is a jerk," she said eating a bit more of the said German food(she pronounced wrong but Kurt didn´t hold that against her) "He is trying to ask me out, he did but I said no, I don't like arrogant jerks, so, let´s go back to eat the Butternocken and forget about Duncan"
"You are right," he said and the conversation and the mood are comfortable as always. Forget about Duncan is the right idea.
Soon the Butternocken is over, and they did go to visit the others friends, or how people call them, the X-friends, funny Kitty is not an X-men (yet) as Kitty and Jubilee talk about the fight, no Kurt wasn´t in the classroom when the fight begins, the girls said.
"Hey, she is alright, can´t believe Kurt shyness Waggoner introduced us," Jubilee said scratching the band-aid in her face. the adds "I found your lunch, you should be more attentive with this"
"Oh, thank you," she said thankfully and adds tenderly "Kurt is like that, a good person and a hero and a cute nerd," she said to make the others chuckle at that, Kurt doesn´t mind being called nerd if is only by Kitty.
Eventually, the class is over and everyone is going home. When Kurt arrives home, Logan and Hercules, as excited parents, ask questions about his day.
"Dad, father, my day was really good" there´s a lazy smile on his face" things are looking better and better each day"
" Someone is in love?"Logan asked amused and Hercules chuckles and giggles at that already promising to not embarrassed Kurt too much in front of his crush.
"I going to do my homework," Kurt said hearing the two men laughing at his embarrassing tone. Kurt is not good at hiding(sometimes) and goes to his laptop and search for Duncan Smith´s name.
A common name, but, fitting for a common boy.
Hacking into Duncan´s browser and see what he posted is not a surprise for Kurt Waggoner in the slightest, porn, more and more porn(questionable porn) but that will suffice for now.
Hacking is as easy as breathing for Kurt and he manages to post all Duncan´s questionable porn into the community page of the school and even manage to write(in Duncan´s URL) nasty things. The plan was a success as in minus of 2 minutes the page was an overload of nasty comments about Duncan´s porn and even the principal appeared in the page, clearly horrified with what the boy posted.
A vindicate smile graces his lips as he closes the tabs and any link that could point to him, is not the first or last time Kurt has done this and everyone left none the wiser.
On the next day, Duncan Smith received a nasty encounter with the principal about what he posted and his mother was horrified to see the porn her little boy is into.
"Duncan, what is this? I thought I raised you better than that" the mother is not being silent and the show beings. The other students can´t help to hear the conversation(even if they didn´t want, the show was too loud) and everyone is horrified.
"I never knew he was a pervert," Kitty said horrified.
"Yeah, is always who you never thought, Katzchen," Kurt said and did his best to look shocked. The X-friends are gossiping about this all day, how stupid Duncan can be? Why he did that?
"He thought it would be funny, well, it isn´t funny" Kurt overs an explanation for Duncan´s reason of joke, Kitty nods and in agreement.
Ah, only I found this hilarious.
At the end of the day, Duncan was suspended for 3 days and their food exchange was never interrupted again. Duncan still can´t explain what happened and his computer was confiscated for the time being.
