#defection au

Fujin: Release Kung Jin to the Wu Shi at once!

Sonya: Not happening.

Fujin: That was not a request, Sonya Blade.

Dom: I read your file cover to cover.

Takeda: Then you know I won’t go down without a fight.

Dom: You’ll die the same death as your mother.

Fox: This fight isn’t about you! Stay out of it!

Jacqui: You mess with Takeda, you mess with me.

Fox: Then I’ll burry you with him.

Erron: Double crossing ain’t your style, Blade.

Sonya: Routing out traitors is.

Erron: Aw, shoot. And here I thought you finally lost it.

Your turn! I wanna see what you come up with 😁

oooooo fun fun, I like

Frost: Cassie says Hi

Sonya: If she's that desperate to talk to me, she can come here herself

Frost: She always talked, you just never listened

Takeda: Please, Fox, just come home

Fox: I don't remember a home, I remember death

Takeda: And I remember wishing I'd had a choice

Hanzo: I won't fight you

Fox: Then you'll die, old man

Hanzo: In your place? Gladly

Kuai Liang: I know the agony of being manipulated and controlled

Fox: So you know why I have to do this

Kuai Liang: I know the reasons you should change your mind

Jacqui: Dad always spoke well of you, what happened, Blade?

Sonya: I'm doing what I have to do

Jacqui: No. You're doing what you want to do.

Jack: are we sure that they’re really brothers?

Anna: yes. I’ve seen their birth certificates.

Jack: my condolences.

Ruby: don’t worry. We’re into it.

unlike malgus, eirn has a narrative connection to draagh that she cares about beyond ‘was too busying being blackout drunk as a trauma response to not fuck up killing him’, even if it’s just ‘this shithead failed to kill me three times. even the fucking jedi battlemaster did a better job of trying to kill me. the fact baras replaced me with him is actually highkey insulting.’

it’d be really fucking funny

cons of replacing malgus with draagh in the defection au

malgus always terrified eirn and she thus respected him as an opponent and a sith. seeing him stapled together and forced to dance to vowrawn’s jig would equal parts terrify her and cement in her mind she did the right thing in leaving the empire behind

draagh on the other hand

all she’d be able to do when encountering him at the top of the meridian complex would be pointing and laughing and it would kill the mood of that scene entirely

Jin reading over Raiden’s old journals: After combing through these things I think I’ve got an understanding on how Raiden kept track of all the reincarnations of your siblings.

Fujin: That’s fantastic! How so?

Jin: There’s a pattern to all of them. Shared interests, similar appearances, even their tastes in food. Some of them even have dream like memories of their time as gods and are naturally attracted to their elements.

Fujin: Interesting. Do you think my meeting them would stir something within them?

Jin: Raiden had the same thought. He’s approached a few in the past. All were instantly distrusting of him. One of Kojin’s even became actively hostile. Looks like their subconscious still remembers.

Fujin: I see… This is very helpful. Thank you. I have much to think about.

Hanzo, having listened in on the whole conversation and suddenly having the abject realization that Takeda has been Satoshi the whole time: … Oh… Oh Fuck…

I do love your reincarnation hc, I must say

---

Hanzo: So...this is going to sound insane but, is there any chance that you have...memories?

Takeda: I remember most of my life, yes, as people tend to do

Hanzo: I mean...from before that

Takeda: From before my life?

Hanzo: Yes

Sam: 94 women in total since you got me from Stanford. Not counting your ahem “long term relationships”, the car, what you call me when we’re in bed together, Anna, the four years we spent apart while I was in college and the fact that I originally started counting when I was 14.

Dean: only 94? I could sworn it was an even 100.

Sam: well. It’s not.

Dean: huh. Weird.

Jack: should we be worried that Sam knows all of this?

Anna: no. Believe it or not. This is normal for them.

Jack: right.

Ruby: take notes honey. This math actually matters.

Anna: do you want to tell him or should I?

Ask and ye shall receive

Nightwolf: Does your boyfriend have to be here?

Kabal, with stryker in his lap: Does yours?

Fujin, in Nightwolf's lap: no, but I'm here anyways

---

Kuai Liang: I question your taste in men

Bi-Han, currently draped across Sareena and Johnny: Oh?

Kuai Liang: I mean, Sareena is wonderful, but Johnny?

Johnny: Oi! I'm right here!

Bi-Han: A least my boyfriend isn't a murderer

Kuai Liang, opening his mouth to argue and getting defensive: How dare-!

Kuai Liang, deflating: Actually, you know what, no, that's fair

---

Nightwolf: It would appear that our brothers have become friends

Bi-Han: Kuai Liang likes to take in strays
