Child of Tricks & Music

“You hypnotize everyone into walking out of the building and - I don’t know - doing the Macarena on the sidewalk. Bastian and I will go in by the loading dock.” Trickster grinned. This was gonna be fun. “Rogue’s Rules – no murder, just theft. I’ll drop a bunch of minor explosives and other distractions to cover out escape. I’ve already got a getaway van. Sound good?”

“Got it. I make citizens do the Macarena, you two do the explosions in the loading dock, no murder, just theft, getaway van. What do I do after I get the citizens out though? Or should you guys be done by the time I get done? And where’s the van?” Piper parroted then questioned. Had to make sure he completely understood so they didn’t slip up or anything.

“Eh, it was thrown together pretty recently. And don’t you know I’m nocturnal? Up all night and sleep all day. Actually I’m surprised I haven’t tried pulling a heist so late or.. early, before…” Piper considered. “Anyways, have you two met before? He’s more social than I am I think.”

“I needed to fix my shoes and he held my duck,” Jamie said, “A rubber duck.” That probably deserved clarification. “And speaking of heists -” she turned to Bastian - “Are you going to help or hinder? We’re going to rob a Walmart for stuff and to annoy them.” The kid didn’t seem to be the Lawful type, but you never could tell. Con looked like the Big Blue Bastard, after all.

“Mmhmm~! I also helped name the duckie too!” he stated, placing his hands on his hips and giggling.

Piper was confused but not completely as he turned to face Bastian. Trying his best not to sound like a child who was caught with his hand in the cookie jar he said, “Hey~ What are you doing out Bass?” Should he let Bastian in or not? He didn’t want to say the wrong thing and piss off his new friend.

Jamie blinked. “Bass?” she asked. “As in Bastian?” This kid looked about the right size to be her duck-naming friend. “Nice outfit, by the way, I like the aesthetic.” Flying person, wearing stripes – she hoped this wasn’t that Axel Walker kid who’d stolen her shtick.

Piper watched Jamie jump to the next building and hesitated for a second before jumping after her. After regaining his balance on the next roof he beamed happily at her.

Jamie gave Piper a thumbs up and recalibrated her approach plan. He was clearly not yet comfortable with roof hopping. And she was only wearing her everyday shoes. There was a fire escape on the nest building if she remembered correctly. And the shift from roof to roof would only take a downward climb. Or drop.

Bastian knew that something was up. Piper never went out. Ever. Especially not this early in the morning. He was getting suspicious and he wanted in on whatever his roomie was doing. Especially this early in the morning. Into his costume he goes. He adjusts his mask before he’s heading to go and look for his roommate.

It wasn’t that hard to find him. Jumping from roof to roof with....was that the female Trickster he met earlier. Heh. What a coinicidink~

Bastian, save me~ I’ve gotten into candy corn. Please don’t let me eat the whole thing…

“Like that’s any better. Better stick with Bastian. Sounds cooler. Still dorky, but Sebastian is dorkier.” Or just change names like he did. But he probably shouldn’t say that. Don’t want to give the kid any ideas. Especially if he picks a better name than his.

“Kid?! How old are you anyway?”

“Sebastian is a cool name shush. It’s my full name that’s weird so there you go.” He’s happy with his name thank you very much. No need to change it. Though really he thinks your real name is cool too. He never understood the change.

Oh Merde. Someone who can understand him. Just what he needed on top of finding a duplicate of him.

“What kinda name is ‘Bastian’?” And his name was Giovanno so he really wasn’t one to talk, but still. What person names their kids these weird names anyway?! But at least they have different names. Be weird if he really found himself a duplicate of him.

“Name’s James. Now how did you steal my face?”

“It’s short for Sebastian. Apparently strange names runs in the Dad side of the family. Nice to meet ya James.” Please don’t be a mini...mini version of his Papà. Please? With his luck you probably are.

Are you sayin’ you think I’m hot?

Alt universe is weird as hell. If he’s me I dunno wtf kind of parents the brat’s got but he should still be on the highwire training y’know? 

Possibly.

Well I’m still the cuter one so whateverrrr

The hell is that 

Another Axel?
