Last night, I posted the new chapter that was meant to be out two years ago but got lost in time until I’ve finally break free after watching the Bad Guys 2 and the chapter was Catalina’s dream of her family and friends before tragedy struck. Here’s are the characters in my au of the Bad Guys and the Black Diamond of the Legendary Wolf

Takes place in Cassandra’s Revenge, when the gang got back to the castle with Varian. Hope you enjoy!

         The princess watched as Lance set Varian down on the bed. The group were in a guest room. The alchemist had passed out when Rapunzel and Eugene met up with Lance, the girls, and Maximus.

“Is he going to be ok?” asked Catalina in a trembling voice.

Lance smiled at her. “I’m sure he’s going to be right as rain tomorrow. Don’t worry.”

Eugene cleared his throat. “Hey, Lance? Would you mind if…” he trailed off still a bit shaken up about what happened with Cassandra.

Thankfully, Lance got the hint and quietly lead the girls plus Max out the room. Rapunzel went over to the bed. She gently shook him awake. “Varian? Varian, wake up.”

Nothing.

Pascal got off her shoulder, walking to where Varian’s ear is and stuck his tongue in it.

That woke him up.

“Ack! Ahh! Don’t eat me!”

Rapunzel shushed him. “Calm down, Varian. It’s just us.”

Varian stared blankly at the couple, waiting for his eyes to adjust. When he saw it was them, he relaxed. 

He chuckled nervously. “ Oh. Hey. I-I must of went to sleep there. Sorry about that.”

Eugene sat down at the foot of the bed beside Varian. “Are you ok, kid?”

“I’m..ngh.. really shaken up from what happened in the tower.”

Rapunzel raised an eyebrow, puzzled. His answer came out rather quickly. 

“What’s going on?” she asked him. 

Before the alchemist could respond, Eugene piped up. He covered Varian’s mouth as he replied, “Cass-an-dra had drugged him with his own truth serum in order to tell her the third incantation. Also, he’s compel to answer any questions you ask him.”

Rapunzel was horrified. She can’t believe Cass drugged Varain and then put him in a cage. “No…Is…Is that true?” She looked into the terrified blue eyes of the alchemist. Eugene removed his hand so he can answer. Varian winced in pain of the serum. “Agh! Y-Yes.”

He slumped forword causing Eugene to grabbed him before he fell off the bed. While Eugene explained to the princess, Varian answered automatically which exhausted him. Rapunzel took her place on the other side of Varian on the bed. She placed her hand on his shoulder. “I’m so sorry, Varian.”

Varian sighed. “It’s okay, Rapunzel. You didn’t know Cass kidnapped me.There was a lot going on back at the Demantius Chamber.”

“He has a point, Sunshine.” said Eugene.

Rapunzel grabbed Varian’s backpack, wanting to cure the alchemist. She opened it and started rummaging through it finding an antidote. Rapunzel pulled out small bottle that is labeled “truth serum antidote.”

“Here’s the cure, Varian.” She opened the bottle, held it out in Varian’s direction.

“Say Ahh.”

“Ahh.” The alchemist open his mouth so Rapunzel could pour the antidote in.

Varian swallowed the stuff, feeling better already. He was glad he made a cure for the truth serum. The princess put the backpack aside. “Ok..” she began, testing to see if it worked. “How are you feeling?” Eugene and Pascal nervously waited for Varian to respond. The alchemist’s face did not show any signs of pain whenever he felt the truth serum kicked in.

Varian sighed in relief. He was cured.

“Well, I’m fine now. Thank you, Rapunzel!” he hugged her, letting out a joyful laugh.

Rapunzel laughed along with him, returning the hug.

“Soooo what happened after that tower…uh, got build?” Eugene asked.

Rapunzel pulled away from the alchemist. She wanted to know too, but judging how Varian bit his lip nervously it was probably not the time. “Eugene, Varian has been through a lot today. Maybe we should let him rest first.” she suggested.

Varian suddenly grabbed Rapunzel by the shoulders, startling her in the process. “No! I…have to tell you now.” he said, replaying the whole ordeal in his head. Rapunzel didn’t say anything. She motioned him to go on with her hand.

Varian breathed in sharply before taking his hands off the princess and got his backpack. Brows furrowed, he held it tightly against his chest.

Eugene started to comfort Varian by rubbing his back in repeated soothing circles. “It’s okay, Varian. Take your time.” The man told him.

Varian looked between Eugene and Rapunzel, mouth covered by the backpack. The princess gave him a warm smile as Pascal climbed back on her shoulder. 

Varian finally calmed down and began to tell what happened.

“Cass put hand cuffs on me with her powers, then she took me in the tower. As we were going up the stairs, she….started talking to herself…but it wasn’t herself.”

Rapunzel narrowed her eyes. “She did that back at the Demanitus Chamber.” The princess pointed out.

Eugene groaned. “Oh, great. She’s gone completely insane. Well, not as insane as before, but this is a whole different level!”

Varian went on. “It was really weird. It’s like she’s having a conversation with someone she can see. When we got to the um, top, Cass said that I wasn’t part of this, she didn’t want to hurt me. Cass took the hand cuff off me.”

The alchemist was looking at Rapunzel, his expression sorrowful. “I tried to talk her out of what she’s doing, Rapunzel. She is on the same path I’ve been! I-I really didn’t want to see her go through that route. But…it wasn’t enough. And that’s when she put me in that cage.”

Varian hung his head. “I failed getting through her.”

Rapunzel exchanged a concerned look with Eugene before placing her hand on his shoulder.

“Varian, I appreciate you trying to convince Cass. It shows how far you come. You know how it feels to be on the dark path that you want her to not go the same way.”

Varian lifted his head back up, his gaze downcast. “It’s a horrible way to handle anger. It twists your mind until you can’t think straight.”

He shivered. “One of my biggest regrets of my life.”

Eugene gave him a gentle nudge. “We’re proud of you for trying though.” he said grinning.

Varian stared at him in surprise. “R-Really?”

Eugene nodded.

Varian rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “Gosh. I don’t know what to say.”

“Well, you could say thank you.”

“Um…thank you, Eugene. heh.”

They both shared a laugh.

Varian started to remember how threatening Cass was when she pulled him and Eugene back in the tower. She never looked more like a villain than the alchemist has ever seen. “Varian? What’s wrong?” Rapunzel asked, noticing him tense up again.

Eugen felt the alchemist trembling slightly. “She scared you, huh?” he said in a gentle voice. The man wasn’t teasing him, Eugene was worried about Varian.

“Yeah.” The alchemist admitted, bringing the backpack closer to his body.

Varian sniffled, a tear rolled down his cheek. “Cassandra…”

Rapunzel offered him a hug which he took, sobbing uncontrollably. Eugene held his backpack for him. The princess comfort him like a sister to her little brother. She was glad Varian is safe now. Rapunzel considers making him stay for the night so he can recover.

-Hugo loves winter and when he and Varian where traveling with the whole vat7k gang they got hit with some snowfall, nothing to serious, and Hugo loved it. When he went to tell Varian and the others Yong and Nuru got excited but Varian just shut down. Hugo figured Varian wasn’t a winter guy and left but found him having a panic attack later that night, he helped Varian through it and heard a little bit about the blizzard and Quirin getting trapped in amber.

-speaking of the blizzard, Varian suffered from frostbite that went untreated for sometime, luckily he found a doctor who worked with criminals so Varian wasn’t worried about judgment, but he did deal with some nerve damage and can’t feel much in his fingers. He and Cass often talk about their damaged hands and even joke about it

-the girls (Catalina and Angry) often still steal some things out of habit, usually from their friends and they always return them after a few days to a week. Later they learn Eugene did this too

-whenever Varian and Hugo are next to each other with expensive items behind them (candelabra’s and stuff) you can comically see Hugo sneakily grab it, Varian taking it from him and putting it back, and Hugo grabbing it again just in a repeating cycle all while their still talking and holding eye contact with them

-Cassandra has to get her burnt arm amputated for various reasons, it messes with her head for a bit but she gets used to it, and Varian makes her a super cool prosthetic arm

-speaking of which, you know how a lot of people give Hugo a prosthetic leg in fics, I imagine like two years after Hugo loses his leg Varian loses an arm in some sorta lab accident of course in the beginning hugo is terrifying and comforting his lover but after a couple years they joke about it and love to show how functional their prosthetics are (bonus: they make all the pub thugs with missing limbs prosthetics too)

-this one’s kinda random but I like it, faith is a lesbian. The first person she tells is Cass who assures her “it’s okay to like girls instead of boys” and it just becomes and lesbian older sister telling her younger, also a lesbian, sister how to talk to girls (Cassandra’s advice sucks and never works) and such

-varian and faith are surprising besties, part of it is their just the same age, but also because faith used to live in old corona, and the kids are all super close and if your bullying on of the other kids your kicked out of the group. Varian and faith immediately recognize each other and even say their childhood nicknames for each other, just rushing up and saying “var-var?!?” “Fae?!?”

It's crazy how a tv show and its characters can feel like home ♥
