Imagine being put into the world of Invincible and having no idea what you are doing or who are the many people in the storyline—having not watched the show yet or read the comics, you absolutely knew you weren't making it out alive.

You did your best to not draw any attention to yourself knowing that as an anomaly you didn't need to make this worse than it already is. But it seems like the more you hide, the more involved you are in the story. You met Mark and quickly befriend him thinking to yourself— if I've already disrupted the story this much, I might aswell.

You and Mark became close and it got to the point where you almost forgot you weren't suppose to be here. Hanging out with him and his friends were a breeze, and knowing you haven't watched the show yet made the friendship you formed with one another more natural, as if you were ment to be there.

Hangouts became your routine and late night talks with Mark became your norm. Talking about whatever in the dead of night as you miss the way he looks at you with something sweet, soft and gentle as you look at the stars and feel the cold air that the night brings.

Time passes quicker than you ever thought it would, and before you knew it, you were now in the middle of destruction all around you, buildings crashing down, people screaming in agony left and right, and you had no idea where to run without being crushed by a building or being seen by one of the variants.

You aren't supposed to be here, and you could only think about what could possibly happen if even one of them found you and figured out that you weren't from here. You were absolutely heaving from all the running and smoke around you, and your body felt like it was on fire. I knew I should've done some damn exercise.

And in a blink of an eye something or someone crashes into the building close to you making you lose balance. Your ears start ringing, head spinning and heart absolutely pounding as you try to get up.

"and what do we have here?" a voice rose in the midst of the chaos.

A variant.

"you get away from her or I swear-" Mark's shout could be heard. He was near but not near enough like the variant infornt of you.

"seems like I hold you very dear in this universe." the variant floats closer as your breath hitches "Though I don't recall ever meeting someone like you from my universe, I'm sure I would've remembered."

The variant floats closer and grabs a hold of your arm until you're floating inches from the ground as he looks at you "I wonder..."

As he trails off you could already feel your arm bruise in his hold.

You were absolutely screwed.

Life has just been a bit too hectic, and when I say 'hectic' —I mean wayyyyy hectic. And since that was my situation in life, I did what I always did and just disappeared (since I also disappeared from the faces of wattpad SHSHSH) But as of now—a lot has changed but my life? As hectic as ever. HAHAHAHAHA. Thought right now, i really want to try to get back to writing. I've missed it a lot. Not to mention that tumblr has been lacking SOOOOO much angst. As someone who craves and has a love and hate relationship with angst, it makes me sad I can't find any. Instead all I see is smut and nsfw. It kinda makes me sad to be honest most especially I cannot find the angst I've been wanting, that is why I'll do my best to get back to writing!

But let's just not get our hopes up that much that yet. We still don't know what can life throw at me (again.) And an addition is that I am a lazy person which I kinda find ironic knowing I want to do so many things and have so much hobbies I want to do in one day. Though, I shall still try my best to get back to the writing community. ^^

Taylor went to Ash's place about 2 hours ago since they had a group project together. Tyler dropped his head on the desk and sighed, he let out groan and looked at the clock on the desk.

3:45

There was still a couple more hours before going back to the phantom realm. He didn't even realize that his eyes were closed until they shot open when he heard a knock on the door. He furrowed his eyebrows 'That's weird? Tay wouldn't be back in another hour or so' he stood up and opened the door to their shared bedroom.

Another knock was heard as Tyler mumbled some words under his breath "can't this person wait?" Another knock was heard and Tyler swore that if the person behind the door would knock one more time- "what?" all the anger that was bubbling in him faded as his face softened when he recognized the familiar face infornt of him.

"Hi Ty! Hope you dont mind me coming here without telling you" the girl let out a chuckle, and oh how Tyler would have loved to hear it again, it was like music to his ears a melody that he would chose to listen forever if he could "hope I didn't annoy you with knocking more than I should have" Little did she know that she did, but it was her so he didnt mind.

He stepped aside to let her in and closed the door once she was inside "before I went here I actually got some bread since I wanted to go to that new Bakery people were talking about, and I got us some cinnamon rolls to try!"

He watched her put the plastic bag on the dinner table as she took out the stuff she had bought. I raise my other eyebrow and looked at the different kinds of bread she was taking out "why did you get so many?" She responded with a simple 'hmn?' and put the plastic bag away once she took out all of the bread inside the bag.

I look back to Tyler once I put the empty plastic bag aside, and see him holding one of the loaf bread that i had bought. He lift his head up and looked at me as he rose both of his eyebrows waiting for an answer from his question, I let out a small chuckle as I went back to the dinner table "I wasn't planning on buying three, my original plan was to buy some cinnamon rolls and a plain loaf bread, but thenn"

He looked at me as I took the loaf bread out of his hand and took the other one from the table "I saw that they had different flavors" I lift my right hand and showed him, as if then - and only then he realized that the loaf breads didn't look the same "this one is purple yam and this one is cheese" I smiled at him as he shook his head.

"You still shouldn't have bought so many" I watch him pull a chair out for himself and sat down, as he dropped his head on the table, I cringe as I heard his head hit the table. I put the loaf breads down and walked to his side "You okay Ty?" I asked as I sat on the table and played with his hair.

Ever since his dad passed, he was responsible of taking care of his mom and sister he became the head of the house running errands and doing chores, all at such a young age, he was probably used to it but - he was still human. He eats, sleeps and breathes, he was no boy with super powers, he was just a child. A child that needed to be protected to be kept safe. He went through so much at such a young age, he didn't deserve any of that.

"How about we go sleep for a while hmn?" I continue to play with his hair as I wait for his response "we still have a few more hours before we go back to the phantom realm" He lift his head from the table and stared at me with tired eyes.

My eyes softened and my heart ached, it hurt to see him like this, I just wanted to hug him tight and tell him how much of a good job he's doing staying so strong for his family. He pulled me closer as he hugs my waist and rests his head on my lap, we stay like that for a few minutes in comfortable silence as I continue to play with his hair.

"Let's go to your room so you can properly rest hmn?" He squeezed my waist then let go as he lift his face from my lap, I hop off from the table and as if on que when Tyler was about to stand up from his seat, his stomach let out a sound.

...

I look at Tyler and laughed, he looked away clearly embarrassed of what just had happened "okay, okay - maybe you should eat first then we can go sleep" I took the four cinnamon rolls that i got earlier and went to the kitchen counter "do you want to try the cinnamon rolls now or do you want me to make you a sandwich?"

He stood up and walked up to me "sandwiches are fine" I smile at him and went to put the cinnamon rolls in the fridge "you can go sit down I'll make the sandwich" He rose an eyebrow at me and I scoff "goo, shooo" he let out a chuckle as I push him to go sit down.

I grabbed a plate from the cabinet to put the sandwich on and then took the plate and walked to Ty "here" I smile at him and placed it down, I pulled a chair out next to him and sat down - I looked back to Tyler and he looked at me with confusion on his face "what?" He made a face that said I had the nerve to ask him 'what?' "You didn't make one for yourself?"

I smile and lightly shook my head, to think he doesn't get the hint that I want to take care of him, that all he has to do right now is rest yet, he still cares and asks why I didn't make myself one "not hungry, I eat a few chips before I went here" He looked at me for a moment like he didn't want to believe me or was about to protest that I should eat.

"Ya know, you're making me look like I'm a greedy boyfriend that wouldn't care if their partner were starving"

I let out a dramatic gasp "I am not!" He smirks and I gave him a playful smile and rolled my eyes "just eat" he started eating as we told eachother about our day, well mostly me but I knew he didn't mind.

Once he was finished eating I took his plate and went to the sink to wash it, while I was washing the plate I'm the corner of my eye he leaned on the counter with his arms crossed as he watched me do such a simple task "what?" He gave me a soft smile and said nothing, I rinse off the soap on the plate and put it in the rack "Alright let's go?"

We went to Tyler and Taylor's shared bedroom as he went in and went to the upper bunk bed, I close the door and went up aswell, I crawled to the other side as he opened his arms as I went to lay down beside him, I let out a sigh as I close my eyes slowly drifting off to sleep.
