i refuse to believe im the first person to think of hotwarp.

Walker wouldn't have expected it, but one of the worst parts of being imprisoned by the GIW was watching Phantom suffer through the descending stages of violent obsession failure.

All of them were feeling it, obviously, but for most of them it was a slow decline - the pull of longing, developing over days and weeks into a sharp ache. Ember, ignored and silenced, was lashing out, kicking the glass walls and screaming for attention, even when it hurt. Johnny and Kitty, kept out of each other's sight, pressed against the walls closest together. Walker's whole body throbbed with frustration and self-loathing, needing to return to his territory and drag everyone back with him, away from this place of torture.

But Phantom, not three years dead and with an obsession that demanded that he keep everyone completely unharmed, had declined rapidly. Sure, for the first week or so, he'd been preoccupied with troubles of his own, strapped constantly to a table with hands digging through his insides. But then they'd started to spread out their attention.

At first, Phantom didn't seem to realize what was happening. He cried out in anguish and fear, trying to break open his cell and being punished for it, collapsing under the shock collar's control. Walker could almost see when he figured it out, when he started to clutch at his chest, and scribble constellations onto the walls and floor in his dripping ectoplasm with hands that trembled, trying to ease the pain in his core.

Then he started to curl up and choke on his tears, shuddering in pain whenever screams echoed down the hall. Finally, in between his own turns on the table, he started to shove his hand into his open chest, clutching his burning core directly, moans of pain rising into yells in nearly perfect unison with whoever else was the victim this time.

(Sidney had declined in nearly perfectly unison with Phantom, which a part of Walker hoped the punk hadn't noticed.)

If Phantom wasn't a halfa, he probably would've shattered into dust by now. It probably would've been a mercy.

When the yelling started, Walker almost didn't notice. Phantom, delirious with pain, for sure didn't. But before long, most of the rest of them had stirred to alertness, dragging themselves closer to the glass to peer down the hall. A troop of GIW stormed down the hall without glancing at any of them, and an alarm started going off. Phantom whined and rolled over, his hand buried in his autopsy wound while he shivered. (The scientists had tried stitching it closed, but Phantom just clawed it blindly open.)

"What's happening?" the Lunch Lady croaked. (Youngblood and Phantom were starving, and it was doing her no favors.)

An AU where Steve, in high school, present himself as an Omega. But his scent is strong and very alpha, and let's not forget, it's Steve, so everyone thinks he's an alpha. Except for Jonathan, who takes one look after Steve and is like " Hun, King Steve is an Omega." And he expects everyone to talk about it, but no.

Jonathan thinks the whole school gaslights him because, "Hello? Can't you be any more Omega? Are you kidding me?" But Harrington says nothing, and life goes on.

He thinks things will change when he starts dating Nancy Wheeler, but no, everyone still thinks he's an alpha, talking about AlphaxAlpha, and "purity blood". Even after his popularity drops, everyone still thinks he's an alpha, even Hagrove!

But the worst part is when he starts babysitting the children, taking care of them, cooking for them, etc. and everyone says, "Oh, what a good alpha who takes care of the pups of his pack !" And Jonathan, want tears his hair out, yelling internally, "Yes, he takes good care of the pups, but he takes good care of HIS pups, like an Omega! He scent them, and there are nests at his place, hello?!"

The worst part was when Jonathan started providing for him, because he's the Omega of the pack/party, one of the only ones, so it makes sense for him to do that. But the others were like, "Jonathan, Steve isn't going to appreciate you questioning his Alpha abilities like that!" Jonathan felt like jumping out the window.

I AM LATE BUT I HAVE SO MUCH FUN!!!!!
