“Everyone has a nightmare.Maybe I want you to be mine.”

“Everyone has a nightmare, I guess I’m yours.”

“Some people were always meant to be heroes.

“One cannot be awed who has no soul. Just as one cannot be brave who has no fear.”

“She had a vision of her own and, for the first time, it did not align with his.”

“One does not have to be competent to be an enemy.”

“Once you’ve seen as much history as I have, you won’t believe in coincidences anymore.”

“Just like some people were always meant to be villains.”

“One can not be brave who has no fear.”

“How can we expect people to change if we don’t give them the chance to?”

“There are many dangerous people in this world. but there are also many good people. Brave people. No matter how bad things get, we have to remember that. So long as there are heroes in this world, there’s hope that tomorrow night might be better.”

“Heroism wasn’t about what you could do, it was about what you did. It was about who you saved when they needed saving.”

“If people wanted to stand up for themselves or protect their loved ones or do what they believe in their hearts is the right thing to do, then they would do it. If they wanted to be heroic, they would find ways to be heroic, even without supernatural powers.”

“What exactly are we looking for?

Villains, doing villainous things.”

“We were all villains in the beginning.”

“Your days of villainy are over.”

“You mean people don’t like to see hypocrisy in their leadership? Shocking.”

“Heroism wasn’t about what you could do, it was about what you did.”

“So long as anarchy is synonymous with chaos and despair, the Anarchists will always be synonymous with villains.”

“There was a freedom in anonymity. There was power in not having to answer to anyone.”

“It’s good to be queen.”

“Teach them ethics and martial arts and… I don’t know. Bravery. Do you think you can teach someone to be brave?”

“Now we’re talking. Let’s go be superheroes!”

“Sometimes the weak must be sacrificed so that the strong may flourish.”

“What the people needed was to learn to take care of themselves, but that would never happen so long as superheroes were running things.”

“Humanity loses faith in times like that. With no one to look up to, no one to believe in, we all became rats scrounging in the sewers. Maybe Ace really was a villain. Or maybe he was a visionary. Maybe there’s not much of a difference.”

“You missed a sprinkle.”

“She’s one of us now, whether she likes it or not.”

“knowledge is power.”

“I am not your enemy.”

“I’m taking you into custody, and you will answer for your crimes.” “Lovely as that sounds, I actually had other plans for this afternoon.”

“She once told me that it’s difficult to give things up, once you know what they’ve been through.”

“The world needs heroes.”

“been worse. They say probation—I hear vacation.”

“Be careful, little Nightmare.”

“They were supposed to encourage every prodigy … no, every humanto be as heroic as possible. How was publicly rejecting anyone going to further that goal?”

“Humanity loses faith in times like that. With no one to look up to, no one to believe in, We all become rats scrounging in the sewers.”

“There was the potential for evil everywhere, and the only way to combat it was if more people chose goodness.”

“There are many dangerous people in this world. But there are also many good people. Brave people. No matter how bad things get, we have to remember that. So long as there are heroes in this world, there’s hope that tomorrow might be better.”

“So much of her childhood was lost in a haze of pain and loss, mourning and anger, betrayal and a sadness so raw there were entire days in which she couldn’t summon the energy to eat, or even cry. “

“Entire nights in which shadows terrorized her, becoming murderers and monsters. There had been but one source of light in those first months. The only real family she had left.”

Dusk was turning fast to night. Though the sky was full of clouds, to the east those clouds were tinted deep purple and heather gray. Somewhere beyond the gloom, the sun was setting.”

“Intention. He’d learned at a young age that it mattered far more than anything else where his ability was concerned. Not skill. Not execution. Intention.”

“- And if revenge does not bring you joy?

It’s not joy what I’m looking for.”

‘ well, if i have to go out with anyone, i’m glad it’s with you. ’

‘ i can’t believe i’m going to die with you at my side. ’

‘ come here, we only have tonight. ’

‘ i can’t sleep. ’

‘ how can you sleep at a time like this? ’

‘ shouldn’t we be planning? ’

‘ what’s the point of planning? we’re doomed, anyways. ’

‘ save your strength. you’re going to need it for tomorrow. ’

‘ try to get some rest. ’

‘ share a drink with me. ’

‘ it’s our last night alive, you know. ’

‘ a toast to our short lives. ’

‘ dance with me? ’

‘ no one deserves to spend tonight alone. ’

‘ for old times sake. ’

‘ there’s so many things i want to tell you. ’

‘ there are so many things i want to say, but our time is so short. ’

‘ i’ve got nothing more to say. ’

‘ i could’ve done so much more. ’

‘ you could’ve done so much more with your life. ’

‘ i’m sorry, but they sent you here to die. ’

‘ no regrets, right? ’

‘ do you regretting signing on for this mission? ’

‘ nah, i’m not going out with any regrets. ’

‘ we’ve all got to die sometime, right? ’

‘ i guess we’re just going out sooner rather than later, huh? ’

‘ i’m sorry i didn’t tell you earlier. ’

‘ if it’s my last chance to say it… i love you. ’

‘ i wish i could’ve done everything in the world with you. ’

(Zayn, on their Italy trip, after they accidentally ended up in bed together because Simon gave Angela a little bit too much of his Vodka and left her alone with Zayn)

Morning After Starters

@overwatch-agentsingh

Angela snorted, hand running through his cropped hair. Her hand shifted to rest over his chest and then teasingly slipped lower.

Her hand slipped lower, onto his chest first and he sighed a little, his ribs still hurt but there was no way he'd let it show.

Hell, a lot of things were painful to do right now but that didn't stop him from doing them anyway.

He was just stubborn like that.

tw; blood

Inspired by this extremely angsty RP with @el-sacrificio​ <3

More under the cut

tw; blood, tw; medical procedures

More under the cut

He promised he’d come and yet he wasn’t here.

Hadn’t answered to his texts, hadn’t called him back once.

They’d buried Jack without him.

Not that there was much to bury anyways - they’d never found his body.

Tears began to fall as the rain dripped down on his shoulders.

Desperate. Disappointed. Hopeless tears that rushed down his cheeks to meet with the water gathering in the puddle around his dark brown dress shoes.

Markus wasn’t here.

He hadn’t come.

@el-sacrificio​

“Okay. Thanks for waking me up. And playing with Cupcake.”

He flashed her goofy smile as gladly took her hand to pull himself up, groaning a little. Damn his stupid broken ribs…

He just wanted to feel normal again.

“Come on, Cupcake! Who’s gonna get food? Who’s gonna get it? Youuuuu.”

Cupcake barked at him, tugging at his jeans as he trotted along with him, clearly excited.

Zayn made a mental note to text Jack later and thank him for gifting him that dog because hell he loved him so much already.

-

If one thing was sure in these weird times, it was that Simon was just as a good cook as he was a doctor. The food was divine - even though it was just a simple pasta dish.

It didn’t matter. Zayn was starving.

He scooped spoonful after spoonful of noddles into his mouth until he’d emptied his whole plate and Simon had to get him a second one.

Where those nanites running on carbohydrates too and not only oxygen? Because that would definitely explain his appetite.

-

“So you wanna go on a beach trip?”

Zayn asked as they’d finished eaten and had cleaned up the kitchen. His good hand was nervously tapping on the counter, he hated having to watch them do everything without having the chance to help him.

Simon had told him he should just sit back and relax but it was easier said than done. He was just so very antsy at this point.

Sit still. Recover. Don’t do this, don’t do that.

He sighed. It was frustrating.

Angela nodded and released her hold on him to let Zayn go on at his own pace.

Was this trip even a good idea this soon after the incident? She knew logically, it was fine. On the other hand, however, her mind screamed ‘abort! Go home!’. Angela, for obvious reasons, was annoyed with her conflicting views on the issue.

Tests were fine. Scans are clear. He’s up and moving. He’s stable. The treatment for what lingered was getting him out.

Dinner now, worry later.

.

She agreed without even looking up from where she was putting the silverware in the dishwasher. “I am certainly up for a walk. I’m sure Cupcake would enjoy it as well.”

The fresh air would do all of them a world of good right now. Trapped in a car most of the day and offices or bedbound for the last few weeks. They could use it.

The blonde doctor flashed them a bright genuine smile, leaning against the kitchen counter with his elbows propped on the cool marble stone.

Outside, the weather was perfect. Not too hot, not too cold, just a gentle breeze and the endless sea stretching out in front of them.

He couldn't wait to get to the beach.

"Cupcake, where's your leash? Where's your leash?"

Even he couldn't resist talking to the puppy like that.

Not when he got so excited everytime someone literally said anything.

Cupcake's tail was wagging, he barked and jumped around his legs, tugging at his jeans.

"All right. All right someone wants to go I get it. Zayn, get your shoes and a water bottle..."

-

There was sand everywhere. Itchy, icy, sticky sand that stuck to his skin like clay but Zayn couldn't be happier.

He was feeling something again.

Even if it wasn't pleasant, it was a beginning.

The last months had just...been so so numb.

He had shut himself up, had been so distanced, so far away because the pain had been so unbearable, he wouldn't have stood it if he focused too much on it.

Sand. Beach. Water underneath his feet.
