“Alright, kid, talk.”

“Holy- this is the coolest thing that has ever happened to me!” The boy exclaimed. He was grinning ear to ear which Tony could certainly say was a first for one of his prisoners.

The boy looked normal enough besides his heavy breathing and excited eyes. Tony couldn’t see him being a secret Hydra spy but they were told he was carrying the-

“FRIDAY, scan him for the data,” Tony commanded. They had to know.

“Scan complete. The data is currently located within Mr. Parker’s arm. It is connected to a major artery. Removing is not recommended without specialised tools.”

“What? I don’t-“ the kid started.

Right. So he was a secret Hydra spy. Natasha reached over and yanked his t-shirt sleeve up and over his shoulder to expose his whole arm.

“There’s no scar.” She always spoke like what she said had no importance.

“I don’t- there’s nothing in my arm-“

“Have you had any surgeries recently? Anything you were unconscious for other than sleep?” Natasha asks. The kid shakes his head, suddenly looking a lot less excited.

“You’re with Hydra,” Sam said, although he posed it more like a question.

“Woah, you mean- you think I’m with the Nazi people from World War Two? Surely you’re not- you’re not serious,” the kid breathed. He was starting to sound funny with every inhale.

“Yes or no, kid. Are you with Hydra?” Tony asked.

The kid - Peter, according to his records - shook his head. “I am not with Hydra,” he wheezed.

Tony looked to Natasha. She worked like a human lie detector with all her training, so he trusted she would confirm that the kid was lying. Except she stood there looking like she was in the middle of decoding something.

“Where’s your inhaler?” She asked. Tony furrowed his eyebrows, looking between Natasha and Peter before finally realising that something wasn’t right. The kid was barely breathing, he was- he was basically turning blue-

Natasha found a pump and gave it to Peter, coaching him through inhaling and taking deeper breaths. Just when he started calming down and thanking her, she turned to Tony.

“He’s not lying. I don’t know how, nothing makes sense to me right now, but he’s not lying.”

But that didn’t make sense. Tony trusted Natasha completely but-

He has the data. It’s embedded in his arm. How can he possibly not be with Hydra?

DxP REWRITE - Emmet…?

If this scene looks a bit familiar, that’s because callbacks are cool. So is foreshadowing.

First of all, what's wrong with two white boys getting together? When it comes to representation, even white queer people are under-represented in mainstream media.

And I'm not at all saying that queer representation is non-existent in "twenty-twenty-fucking-six". But at the same time, is it enough?

Listen, we are talking about fucking Stranger Things. A show that is literally meant for "outcasts, nerds and freaks". For the people who don't fit into the goddamn society. The show literally quotes "It's forced conformity. That's what's killing the kids." If a show about outcasts can't give me a queer couple they have been subtextually developing, then I am going to riot, you cannot stop me.

You are the clown here, so stop looking like an idiot and do your research about the fucking show. Coming here and telling me I'm being too greedy for representation. I'm not going to settle for less, you can stop yapping.

Oh yes? The amount of courage and happiness it gave many people from Robin's speech in Sorcerer was not what I hallucinated right? I saw many reels of older people healing their soul with that speech. If that can heal us, what do you think Byler can do?

And it's not like I just pulled Byler out of my ass. It's an actual ship with one person canonically in love with the other party. And subtext (yes I know it's irritating but wtf do you think queer people have been surviving on?!) shows Mike reciprocating.

And idk what mindset you have to make your statement look anything but homophobic. You're actually telling me straight to my face that I'm greedy for asking what we deserve.

I want Byler to happen because I've fucking watched five seasons of this show to get an incomplete, half-assed subplot. What do you even know about plotlines and arcs. Apparently nothing. But I know the direction Byler arc was taking and I will not be satisfied until I get there.

You guys are funny, really. We can't have Byler, can't have queer couple in popular shows and animes, can't have them in history, can't have them in politics, can't have them anywhere near children, can't have Pride, can't have their rights... Yep.

I don't even know your view on LGBTQ+, but every time I see this kind of comment, this is what I think of. And you cannot blame me for that.

Lastly, did you like your own comment? That's pathetic.

So stop looking like a clown under any Byler content because you're seriously arguing about a queer couple in a show that is meant for outcasts. We are the target audience and I have every right to voice out my opinion.

Warning may include death of a child, please be advise.

"How could this have possible had occurred?!?!"

"I thought Hades made sure the bones of Kronos could never had been recovered?!?"

"..."

"Hades..?" Persephone said softly, holding Hades's tightly gripped fist on the table. Hades remained quiet, his face remained unchanged from the grumpy ticked off look that he held while among the other Gods and Goddess who glare or glance at him.

"It's not my fault that Ceberus was throwing up due to indigestion, Blame Cupid over there for sending me white chocolates skulls instead of Bitter chocolate when he knew I hate despised them." Hades stated placing his other hand onto Persephone's hand, caressing it softly.

Poseiden can admit it was a valid accused, but it was beginning to get a bit unnerving to see Zeus so quiet yet Angry with how intense he was glaring at the clear vision from the Shazam's host seeing Kronos and the godling babe while the other gods accused one another.

He look at the babe then back at angered Zeus, then glance back before a sudden realization hit him faster then a tsunami..

"You're not the youngest anymore.. now aren't you?" Poseiden blurted out loud causing every one at the table to Freeze, Zeus stiffen as the very clouds surrounding underneath their table rumbled with Lightening..

"How Dare You!?!"

Zeus growled menacingly summoning his prized lightening bolt in his hand before he can continue speaking, his temper nearly boiling.

"Well, he does have a point.. that babe reminded me vaguely of the corpse that was founded in Kronos's stomach.. but I thought it was because the babe was already dead as the soul was already gone due to how crowded it was in there." Hades commented, looking as though he was remembering a distant past..

"It should had stay dead where I had found it!" Zeus snapped at Hades before his eyes widen, covering his mouth quickly as the a kept secret had slipped out.

The Gods and Goddesses were stunned at the sudden secret revealed. If Zeus was not the youngest, then does that mean the godling babe shown before them was the one supposed to rules them?

"What happened on that day, Zeus?" Hera said softly as to tried to calm Zeus's nerves.

Zeus gritted his teeth before he close his eyes, ans sighed, seeing how everyone will only pursue the truth more later.

"It was after I pulled you all out of Father's stomach, only then I saw that there was a extra one sleeping unborn seemingly looking stillborn with a cord wrapped around, nested underneath Father's heart, I was about to grabbed it and pull it out as well, but then..it shifted as it was some kind of modern glitch, a girl one second, a boy a second after, black hair flash to white hair and back, before I saw it's eyes. It's eyes look inhumane Green and more souless then the titans. I realized that it was the youngest and not I... I was already enraged at the point of the prophecy wasn't about me before I even knew what I had done. I had snapped it's neck just as it was about to take it first breath and pulled it out of him, Father knew what I had done the moment the babe fell out lifeless and that was when he becomes truly descented into madness." Zeus said with his hands tighten into fists as he look like he was reliving a memory.
