Moxxie: *kicking Blitzø’s ass*

Striker: *proudly* I love that man…

🐍Striker x Rolando🐟

A possible scene from my upcoming Three Musketeers parody.

Kaitlin sadly looks down at her musketeer hat, after finding out that the Flaversham sisters, Clover and Olivia are in danger and are imprisoned in the dungeon, left to drown by Ratigan. She asks herself after Striker leaves in shame to reflect on the fact that he helped Ratigan, "Could this be the end of the three musketeers?"

A conflicted Striker unexpectedly receives encouragement from none other than Blitzo, himself, who tells Striker that he has a choice after saving Kaitlin. After Striker sings the breakdown song, he turns to Blitzo, thanking him for the song, which tells him it isn't the end.

Striker is a good guy in my AU. So, please don't criticize me for doing this.

Songs that work best for this scenario:

"This is the End":

Blitzo:

This is not the end! (2x)

You won't leave poor girls to drown (Chorus: Don't let them drown!)

And Kaitlin trusts you, you won't let her down! (Chorus: Don't let her down!)

Striker:

Can't breathe, vision's gettin' blurry now!

Nosebleed, never been so worried!

How'm I s'posed to handle the pressure?

It would've been better if I were anybody else!

Dear Satan, tell me what you would've done.

Too bad that I'm not your braver son.

Why'd I have to be picked to lead?

I wish that I could be anybody else!

I'm supposed to do something.

Am I, am I supposed to do something?

Do I run, do I dare, can I grant my own prayer?

Get a grip, grow a pair!

Dedicated to @OddCrossovers , who helped me change the lyrics of "This is the End" from Mickey, Donald, and Goofy: The Three Musketeers to fit Blitzo's encouragement to Striker. Striker helps Kaitlin save the Flaversham sisters. He's conflicted at first, but Blitzo encourages him, telling him that he now has a choice.

Striker cares about Kaitlin and wants to help her, but given that he worked for Ratigan and tried to kill her, when the rat tried to separate the three female musketeers. Ratigan gets the Flaversham sisters, Clover and Olivia and brings them to the Mont-Saint Michel to leave them to drown.

Howdy indeed!

I like them meeting through the Pain Games somehow.

I don't think it's my preferred time for them to start getting together romantically but it could be a point for them to bond and be anything from admiring strangers to mutually respected friends to annual fiercely competitive rivals. Really it depends on whether Striker would participate often enough for Millie to notice him. He doesn't seem the type to want to participate too often, either from seeing it as a waste of time since he seems himself above the other imps or from wanting to keep a low profile combat-wise for assassin reasons.

Additionally, and I've talked about it before but Millie going by Mildred (or specifically Mildread) during her time as a Pain Games player and Striker knowing. When they meet after her ban, he hangs on the "dred" in her name in a way she hasn't heard for years.

Millie can keep up with Bombproof.

It just feels right. I can clearly imagine her running along a fence or jumping on & over wagons to hold a conversation with Striker.

Very affectionate couple when in private.

Millie is always affectionate. She restrains herself a bit for Striker's sake but Striker also lets her act on it more than he'd usually like for her sake. His dislike of PDA is purely a reputation thing for Striker, being too lovey-dovey would disturb his proficient lone wolf image that wrathians know him for.

In private, they get to be open. And Striker makes sure it's private. There's a ritual feeling to it when he bolts the door and latches the windows shut. He can feel his muscles relax the more he blocks out the world just to focus on his love.

Perhaps unintuitively, I feel like Millie's insecurity would be lessened.

Like, her insecurity over being seen as a brute only good for violence seems to partly come from the fact that she's around others who aren't as physically capable or enjoy it as much as her, meaning brute force became her niche within the group and that became her fearing that brute force is all they value her for.

So, if she's with Striker — someone who is also physically capable and enjoys violence — then she isn't filling a niche within their relationship. Maybe that insecurity would ease up, maybe it would just take on a new form of feeling like she always has to be up for fighting & matching Striker's energy or else she's not enough or something.

Striker allowed to show his face without being objectified? Unheard of, lol.
