@shutteredsouls: [cont’d from here]

He continued walking away from John, the itch under his skin too hot to keep still. Shoving a couple items into a bag, he finally faced his friend with a determined look on his face. “I don’t know what you want me to say, John. Sorry? I’m not. That’s my child out there, and I’m going to do what it takes to make sure they’re safe.” Ever since the Hellfire Club had completely wrecked the Mutant Underground, Marcos had taken great care to make sure not to mention Lorna. It was still too raw to touch on, especially when it felt like everyone else had someone but him. His family was gone, corrupted. “I lied to you, fine. Wasn’t the first time and it won’t be the last. Are we done?”

           John stared at Marcos for a long moment, taken-aback by the aggression in his response. He wasn’t surprised, exactly -- Marcos had been struggling in a pretty obvious way since Lorna left, and John hadn’t known how to reach out and help him. “I just want to know why,” the leader of the Underground told him, his voice full of forced calm. Getting into a fight with Marcos wasn’t going to solve anything. It would only make John feel worse, and leave the already-weak Underground with even more division. 

          “You know that I would do anything I could to help you make sure that baby is safe, Marcos. You’re my best friend-- and just because Lorna is lost right now, it doesn’t mean she’s always going to be. You don’t have to lie to me about these things.” It wasn’t clear if Marcos was listening or not, or even cared that John was talking. Sighing, he dragged a hand through his hair and shook his head in surrender. “Yeah, sure. Fine. We’re done. Go.”

It was one of the only places that Astra could think to go. She had no idea how long it had been since last she’d seen her, how long she’d been held captive. The only thing that was on her mind when she slipped past the guards and eventually stumbled into the night was to see Kara again. Rain beat heavily against her skin as Astra raced as fast as she could through the sky. It had taken her a long time to find National City and she was running out of solar energy in her cells. Part of the experiments that had been performed on her had been to see how much she could hold and how much they could take from her. The end result was that Astra was exhausted and could barely use any of her powers. Just flying was pushing her towards her limit. 

The fact that she could be messing up the two apartment complexes of Alex and Kara didn’t cross her mind. It had been so long since she’d seen either of them. Still she landed on the balcony, feet skidding slightly, not quite able to get the right tension on the water that had pooled there. Hands gripped at a window, unthinking about why it might be so dark in the apartment itself. Something breaks and Astra thinks that she’ll have to apologize later. She moves inside and her vision swims as she walks. Astra bangs into a side table and swears softly. Hopefully she’ll find the couch and just be able to collapse there before anyone hears her.

@shutteredsouls​ for Tommy.

He had tried to keep his distance from Tommy, too ashamed for the things he had done even if the other probably knew none of them. Sure, they probably had heard about his parent’s deaths but he doubted his own supposed death and the stuff he had done had made the news. Nevertheless, Chase knew what he had done and what he had gone through and he didn’t want Tommy to realise any of that. So he had kept his distance at first and maybe that’s why it had taken him so long to realise that something was wrong and by the time he had realised things had happened quickly.

Now the least he could do was to offer some sort of support, right? Even though he doubted it was wanted... With quiet steps he walked closer to where Tommy was and sat down beside them. Stuffing his hands into the pockets of his jacket to keep them from fidgeting nervously, Chase stayed silent for a few more moments before finally breaking the silence between them. 

“...How are you?”

trimberly in long distance au

ngl i love this.

they meet relatively younger through happenstance on online forums and chatrooms and know each other almost exclusively through their screen names for the very early two years ( 14-16 ) 

trini sees this person as one of her best friends and one of her constants in moving around so much all the time and confides in her about things that she can’t with actual people she knows in person 

she does eventually move to angel grove and starts telling kim through IMs that she really likes this town, but the people can be pretty shitty. starts telling her stories about the “popular” kids and things she overhears. kim complains about her things right back.

she tells kim about this girl she has a crush on, but never mentions details enough to pinpoint her exactly. and definitely doesn’t delve too deep into it because she isn’t sure what their relationship is.

trini often texts kim throughout the day and most of the time they’re okay about not getting caught. except at some point, when trini and kim are in the same damn class, she texts her about being bored and hears kimberly hart’s ringtone go off. it shocks her and she texts her right after laughing about the coincidence that she heard someone’s phone go off right when she texted her and how funny that would be if they were in the same class for a whole year and didn’t know it. 

and her phone dings the entire time.

austen and dylan in cowboy au

this fucking au i can’t.

dylan teaches austen pretty much everything she knows about handling the farm and doesn’t force her to go to school, but does set up a sort of home schooling regimen to teach her the basics while showing her how to tend to the animals

she also shows her the abernathy family traditions that dylan herself kept and adapted through the years, including annual halloween haunted house visits and volunteering at the soup kitchen during the thanksgiving holidays

sometimes dylan will take austen to the veteran’s group and the first thing she does is introduce her to shaya because dylan is fucking smitten and it’s terrible

for austen’s 16th birthday instead of buying her a car, she gave her a fucking horse and let her name it

there is relentless RELENTLESS teasing on both sides about their respective crushes and literally everything else as well. dylan is basically her big sister and definitely acts like it.
