Shocking

Mako had been holding their finally snoozing toddler daughter and Angela had been cradling their new baby boy, the dog by their feet, they were just about to put the little ones to bed and enjoy some cuddling... when their thirteen year old daughter kicked open the front dooe and came running into the room, shouting about how, “I did it! I finally did it!” while holding her cupped hands in the air.

Waking her little siblings and making them cry.

“Oh, shite! Uh, I mean Shoot! Sorry, Willi! Sorry Ben!” the preteen cried,as she flung her bracelet off and the little ones floated up a bit and began rocking in the air. They seemed to calm a bit at this and the toddler looked at her elder sister with a squinty eyed pout. 

“So what did you do?” Mako asked as Angela collected their younger children from the air and pulled them to her chest. ‘Lightning Bug’ smiled broadly, revealing a retainer as she finally opened up her hands, where a tiny metallic thing sat in her palms before she carefully transferred it to one hand and tapped the side of a glass bottle she had attached to her hip. The metal speck became  a floating light at the sound, “I finally made a mechanical firefly!” she cried proudly as it slowly made it’s way around the room, hovering over the babies but managing to stay just out of their reaches. 

“Impressive.” Angela cooed.

“Huh, it’s pretty small,” he said, impressed as he reached a finger towards it, “ how’s ya get it to...” Just as he got his hand close enough, a shot of electricity shot out of it and towards the hook still strapped to his side, “Ouch!” he hissed.

Angela gasped. Willi started to cry at the sight of her father getting hurt and Molly looked horrified at her creation hurting someone she cared so much about as she cried out, “Da’!” But Ben? Ben watched carefully as another bit of lightning seemed to come out of the little light and hit Bob’s collar, making the dog yelp and jump backwards from it.

“Bob!” Molly cried as she grabbed it with both hands, “Gotch-AAAHHHH!” she cried, her open mouth revealing sparks jumping around her retainer as her hair stood on it’s end in all directions.

“Molly! Spit that out!” her mother commanded, indicating her retainer. Molly did, the metal tooth arranger still sparking on the floor as her hair flattened out, electricity still sparking between her cowlicks as she gasped out, “Tha’ wasn’ supposed ta happen...” 

“Put tha’ thing away!” Mako commanded, making Molly wince a bit, she was already upset that her invention hurt her family, but it made her feel even worse that her dad called her hard work simply a ‘thing’ as she gently tapped the glass on her hip again and opened her hand to reveal that the light was out.

“Sorry.” she said softly as she cupped both hands over her failed firefly, her eyes starting to glaze over with tears and her body quaking, “‘m really sorry... I... I didn’ know it would do tha’...I-I...” she managed before running out of the room with a sniffle. Mako deflating a bit from guilt as she did so before collapsing back onto the couch.

“Fuc-dge.” he groaned. Angela carefully placed the little ones beside him and gave him a kiss on the cheek, letting out a yelp when she got shocked.

“Her fireflies have quite the spark!” she said, covering her lips.

Mako paused for a moment, then let out a snort of laughter.

“Mako?” She called, surprised by the sudden snort.

“Sparks.” He repeated, “Loike lightnin’.” he explained. Upon seeing that his wife still did not get it, he decided that a further explanation was necessary.

“‘Er Junkername is ‘Lightnin’ Bug’.” Mako snickered, “Why are we surprised tha’ ‘er fireflies shoot out lightnin’?” 

Angela pondered this for a moment before smiling broadly, “It is quite fitting.” she chuckled.

Mako’s eyes widened as he looked at his wife, “’N now tha’ I think ‘bout it, she does want ta join Overwatch ‘n havin’ little lightnin’ shootin’ bugs could help her have an edge over th’ other applicants...” Angela’s eyes widened as well and the two smiled excitedly at each other.

“I’ll calm down Molly!” Angela exclaimed.

“I’ll call Rat ‘n Sat!” Mako cried.

The two looked at Bob, “Bob, you watch Willi and Ben!” they said in unison before Hog ran into the other room and Angela climbed up the stairs.

Bob looked at the little ones and sighed. Maybe these little humans of his would be less weird than the rest of his humans he thought as he looked at the two little ones.

Willi seemed confused as she tilted her head and sucked on her fingers, but Ben... Ben seemed curious as he looked at his eldest sister’s no longer sparking retainer on the floor.

Molly looked up at her younger brother incredulously from her spot in the workshop, “You want me ta make ya a what?” she asked.

“Gloves that shoot out lightning.” He said, his deep voice still sounding weird to her, as he hardly spoke and she was still so used to the voice he had when he was little.

“Yeah, okay, why?” she asked flatly.

“I need a weapon if I want to join Overwatch.” he said with a shrug.

“Ben, yer sixteen. I mean, I made Willi’s specialized hook ‘n helped Mum make ‘er a healin’ staff, but she was eighteen when I made ‘um. Eighteen, as in, th’ age ya are when you can join Overwatch.”

“You made your bugs when you were thirteen.” he pointed out

“Tha’s different!” she said sternly, her expression faltering as she looked at the table top, which was covered in her newest batch of lightning bugs, “I.. I didn’ know they’d do tha’ when I foirst made ‘um.” she admitted bashfully.

“You learned how to shoot at age eight.” He reminded her.

“I was bein’ hunted down by a bunch of psycho scientists ‘n Talon!” she cried, frustrated, “ I had ta know how ta shoot! You don’!”

“I’m not asking for a gun, just gloves. That shoot lightning.”

She scowled at him.

“That’s all.” He assured her.

Her scowl deepened.

“ Please.” he pleaded softly.

She let out a long groan as she turned back to her desk, “Mum’s gonna kill me fer this...” she murmured. Ben wrapped his arms around her neck, being careful to bend over so he wouldn’t pull on her neck too much due to their height difference, “Thanks Molly!”

“It’s Bug at work.” she said sternly. But it didn’t take long for her to gently ruffle his hair, “But yer welcome, Ben.”

If you don’t know who Ben and Willi belong to by now...

Wilhelmina is @glampyra‘s

Ben is @the-inline-rex‘s

Molly and Bob are mine. MINE.

Mercy and Roadhog are Blizzard’s.

Teeth

Satya was sitting in her living room, her youngest daughter, Rajni sitting in her lap, reading a book out loud to her and her eldest daughter, Eva was playing with some odds and ends that Jamie had given her on the floor (after she had approved of the pieces, of course). Jamie had taken Aarush to a nearby Junkyard to get pieces for their little father-son project (a surprise for her, apparently.) and they were due to return home any minute.

She heard their door unlock and open, “WE’RE HOME!” Jamie cried into the house with a cackle.

“Da’! Aarush!” Her little girls cried as they put down what they were doing and rushed over to the front door to hug tackle their father and brother. 

But they were ready for them, Jamie was on his knees, Aarush by his chest and both of their arms were out and ready for hugs. Rajni and Eva leapt in, their father’s flesh arm quickly pulling them in while he pushed them off of the floor with his metal one to greet his lovely bride with a peck on the forehead.

“‘N how were me girls today?” He asked her, beaming as he slipped her into the family embrace, “Perfect as always?”

“Of course.” She purred proudly as she snuggled her babies, “And how did you two fair?”

“We got some good ones, I’ll tell ya tha’! But tha’ wasn’ th’ highloight, though!” He said cheerfully.

“Oh?” She asked as he released them from the hug and picked Aarush up for all to see.

“Ready?” he asked him. Aarush nodded eagerly. “On the count of three, alroight?” Jamie said, looking to his daughers, “You two can help with the count down.” The little girls beamed at this and smlied broadly as he started with, “One!”

“Two!” Eva cried.

“Three!” Rajni squealed.

Aarush opened his mouth and revealed the hole where he had lost a tooth a week and a half ago and the bit of white poking out from his gums, “Mah new toofh is comin’ in!” he announced proudly.

“Really?” Eva said, amazed.

“I can’t see!” Ranji pouted. Jamie chuckled as he knelt down to bring Aarush closer to his sisters, who looked at the new tooth in awe, “Does it hurt?” Rajni asked. Eva looked worried at the suggestion, but Aarush shook his head.

“Nope!” he said, pleased with himself. His sisters and mother were pleased with that as his father brought him back up for his mother to get a better look, “It seems to be coming in nicely, but I’d like to schedule a dentist appointment to be sure.”

“Oh, come on, love.” Jamie said dismissively as he put Aarush down with his sisters, “He’s far too much loike you ta get my teeth.” He then gave her a large toothy grin, revealing his pearly white (except for a few golden ones), but jagged, teeth.

“Da’s got shark teeth!” Eva teased.

“Oh do I?” he purred playfully before holding out his arms and began chomping his teeth like a shark seemingly would, their children squealed with delight at the thought of a fun chase with their father as they fled into the house, Jamie not too far behind them. Loudly singing made up lyrics to the Jaws theme song as they laughed and cried out playful, “Noo!”s when he caught them and pretended to eat them like a shark would.

Satya shook her head as she made the appointment anyways, secretly hoping that her son at least got the pearly white part of his father’s smile.

When the dentist had told her that, yes, the tooth was pearly white as all hell, but he also told them that Aarush’s new tooth was far sharper than it would be normally. Satya asked about the other teeth, worried for her son in case the teeth would cause him pain.

“They seem to be quite large, sharper than usual too. But they do need to pierce through the gums first, so time should wear them down to normal, but I thought you should know just in case he experiences any pain while these new teeth come in.” The dentist said, “If that happens, I’d like for you to bring him back so I can see how we can either help the teeth come out easier or at least dull the pain for him.”

“Thank you, we’ll inform you if that happens.” Satya said, her stomach twisting with concern as she left his office. She walked into the waiting room where Jamie was making their boy (as well as several other families in the waiting room) laugh with goofy faces and jokes.

“So?” he asked after they had paid and were on their way out.

“You were right, the tooth is coming in fine, but they told me to bring him in if any places where new teeth come in hurt.” she said, waving it off as if it wasn’t a big deal as they walked to their car.

“Why would they say tha’?” he asked, confused.

“He said that he tells all parents this, since it’s better to be safe than sorry.” She fibbed. Jamie pondered this before accepting with a shrug and a nod of understanding before he got to work opening the side door and getting Aarush strapped into his car seat. 

Mako and Molly sat in their kitchen, Satya looking at them, concern written all over her face.

“Alroight, let me get this straight ‘ere.” Molly said, “Yer worried ‘bout Aarush havin’ some Junker teeth?”

“Junker teeth?” she repeated.

“Yeah.” Mako replied, moving his mask and showing her his own large, sharper than normal teeth, “The radiation didn’t jus’ mess with our DNA, but our diets. Mine are pretty average in Junkertown, but they’re still pretty sharp compared ta th’ others ‘ere. ‘N kids exposed ta th’ radiation in Oz after the omnium blew all had sharper teeth than ones from the coast, prob’ly cause they had ta eat more meat due ta th’ plants ya could eat becomin’ scarce ‘cause of th’ radiation. Rat grew up in tha’ stuff, so it’s possible tha’ it could be passed down, but,” he motioned to Molly, “Molly ‘ere has Junker blood, but she wasn’t born in th’ Outback ‘n look at ‘er teeth.”

Molly opened wide, revealing that her front teeth were larger than most, her cuspids in particular were far longer and sharper than normal, if they were any longer, she’d think that the girl was wearing fake vampire teeth or something (making her wonder why the hell she’d never noticed how large they were before) but the tips had been worn down over time, looking almost as if she had sanded them down.

“Th’ bac ‘re big too, but tha’s it, stuth” she informed them with her mouth still open before closing her mouth, “‘N it hasn’t really messed with how I eat or nothin’ so I don’ see th’ big deal ‘bout it. I mean, we all loike Rat’s smile... Especially you.” Satya felt her cheek burn at the comment, “So, if Aarush happens ta get it, good on ‘im. ‘E’ll have a charming smile ‘n good looks. Worse tha’ll prob’ly happen is  you, Eva ‘n Rajni will be beatin’ sheilas away with flyin’ hard loight shields.” 

Satya chuckled at that as Mako spoke up, “There ain’ no reason ta worry ‘bout it unless Aarush says ‘is mouth is hurtin’. I don’ see a reason ta get worked up when ya don’ know how it’ll turn out.”

“You two are right, thank you for talking with me about all this, I was unsure about how Jamie might take the news.” She said, relieved.

“He’d probably be happy ‘bout it.” Mako said flatly.

“Shoutin’ it to th’ rooftops.” Molly agreed with smirk.

Satya laughed again and thanked them once more for their time before getting up to leave with a wave.

Ten years later, Aarush Fawkes was waiting on a street corner for his ride back to the Gibraltar base, a plastic bag filled with a few missing supplies for a cake he and his sisters planned to make for their parents’ wedding anniversary in his hand.

‘I hope I haven’t forgotten anything, Molly was nice enough to give me a ride here and back and I’d rather not ask her to have to bring me back here again later just because I forgot something...’ He thought. He pulled his phone from his back pocket and quickly texted his sisters for a short list of what they needed, just to be sure when he felt a tap on his shoulder.

He turned to see a random person looking at him with a partly curious but mostly judgmental look, “Yes?” he said, despite feeling a bit annoyed at the look he was being given, “Can I help you?”

“You’re that skinny Junker guy’s son, right?” the man asked.

“Junkrat is my father, why do you ask?” He said.

“’Cause you look nothing like him.” The man said accusingly.

Aarush managed to be mature enough to not let out a sigh or tell him that did not mean that he was not his son, but knew better than to fight people on this and instead did what normally shut them up. 

He gave the man the biggest, toothiest grin he could manage, revealing the large, sharp glisteningly white teeth he inherited from his father.

“Holy shit..” the man said as he staggered backwards.

“They’re pearly whoite as all hell, ain’ they?” Molly teased with a laugh from behind the man, making him jump, see the armed woman in the motorcycle and flee. 

Aarush closed his mouth and gave her a flat look, “That last comment was not necessary.” he said, unamused.

“Nah, but it made ‘im scamper.” She pointed out before patting the side car, “Come on, me Da’ says tha’ they’ll be back soon, so we better leg it if you wanna have tha’ cake done in toime.” he scowled at her, but got in anyway, a bit upset at the reaction to his teeth. It was because of people like that he hardly opened his mouth when he smiled.

“Oi, Aarush, don’ let blokes loike tha’ get ta ya,” Molly said, most likely reading his thoughts, “They’re jus’ jealous tha’ their smiles don’ have any charm. Tha’ bloke in particular was prob’ly jealous of those pearly whoites you got. I mean, did you see his teeth?” She made a gagging sound before telling him that, “It was loike lookin’ inta a bowl of piss! Teeth shouldn’ be tha’ yellow!” 

Aarush started to laugh as she continued to mock the rude man’s teeth, his laugh not much different from his father’s as they made they’re way back home.

Aarush is @bowlersandtophats

Eva is @raedoodles

Rajni is @the-inline-rex

Molly is mine.

This is kinda based off of a comic bowlersandtophats did a while back about Aarush’s teeth. I love that comic far too much, but I wanted to know how Satya reacted when she first wondered if her son would inherit his dad’s chompers. 

So I made this. :P

@bowlersandtophats if you think she’d have a different reaction to learning how her son would have pearly white shark teeth, PLEASE TELL US, I’M DYING TO KNOW!!!!

[bowlersandtophats]

I'd like to know a little more about Junkmetra's youngest child Rajni, what is she like? does she have any abilities that counter/match her parents? what is her relationship with the rest of OW?

Youuuu wanna ask meeka ( http://the-inline-rex.tumblr.com/ ) about Rajni cause that’s their oc. :’ D I just draw them.

[formlessvoidbeast]

Roadhog couldn't remember the last time he laughed. Somehow, Junkrat had a way of knocking him off balance to make him do just that.
