Request: A Lindsey x reader soulmate AU where people know they’re soulmates because they share dreams with them. Something angsty and happy and a lot of things.
LEGACY was my first published fanfic on here. It was based off a dream I had and I finally had the courage to write it down. I wrote it as an original character based on me, not really knowing about reader inserts yet. A while ago, I went back to it and began editing it into a reader insert and I think it's time that I share it. The OG LEGACY will remain on my Tumblr where it belongs, so apologies for any confusion that may happen.
As is my style, this story will cover several movies and contain three endings.
I hope that people enjoy it; comments, likes, reblogs, and/or asks are always welcome.
Summary: Sam tears her ACL during a game against WestHam, you get upset, Millie helps you understand, the team supports you and your Mum’s
Warnings: ACLs
You were sitting on the bench next to Millie, wearing your jersey, you were an avid Blues supporter which isn’t surprising considering you had grown up at Chelsea, your Mum was in talks with Chelsea when she found out she was pregnant with you, she was worried that Emma may no longer want her, so when she told Emma about her situation she was pleasantly surprised when Emma said to her that they would sign a contract early, especially considering the Red stars were dropping her due to her pregnancy and that she was talking to other clubs. Emma was very supportive, through the pregnancy and after, she worked with your Mum and helped her get back to playing surprising quickly after you were born, she arranged sitters for you, she even sometimes look after you herself. Sam was very grateful to have found Chelsea, they accepted her from day one and they were her family. You loved Chelsea too especially Millie, Erin and Guro.
Sam was a little surprised when she found out she was pregnant, as 3 months prior she had decided to stopped IVF her fifth round had failed, or that is what the doctors had said, but her national teammates were adamant the doctors were wrong, she kept vomiting and had weird cravings so one camp she ended up doing a test and found out.
Today you felt slightly odd wearing your blue jersey, you didn’t want to upset your Mama, it was also the first time your Mum and Mama were playing against each other, you had just recently moved from your old apartment to your new one, as now you lived with both your Mum and your Mama. You had known Mama for most of your life, but you had never lived with her, and your Mum had never versed her in a Chelsea game, it was only ever in a Matilda’s game. So, you didn’t exactly know which team to cheer for, but you decided to stay true to your roots and support Chelsea. Blue was also a better colour than brown or claret as your Mama always corrected you, your Mum would laugh every time she did so.
It was the 80th minute and with the knowledge there would be a lot of stoppage time Emma had come over to the subs bench to talk, she stood with her back to the pitch just beside you, everyone on the bench wasn’t paying attention to the field but instead to Emma, Millie had told you to be quiet for the new few minutes, but as always if there was an emergency you could interrupt, you didn’t know if your Mum lying on the grass holding onto her knee was an emergency or not but you decided to interrupt anyway so you got on your knees to be closer to Millie’s ear and softly spoke to Millie “sgoose me Millie,” she turned her head from Emma to you so you continued “why Mummy on floor?” she whipped her head to where your little arm was pointing too before saying “Shit, Emma you might want to see this,” Emma quickly turned around and as she did the ref blew the whistle, the medics were quickly running onto the pitch towards your Mummy and your Mama had made her way beside her, bent down next to her squeezing her hand, she was saying something to her but you were obviously to far away to hear.
“Fuck” Emma yelled causing you to get frightened, you jumped into Millie’s lap and a small tear rolled down your cheek before Millie hugged you saying, “It’s alright,” Emma must’ve seen your actions out of the corner of her eye because as quick as she was to turn around she sat down in your now empty seat.
“Sorry, y/n/n, I shouldn’t have done that, I’m just a bit stressed currently” she said softly as she rubbed your arm, you nodded before leaning back on Millie who placed her head ontop of yours, “it can’t be happening”.
“It might not be, she isn’t crying,” Millie replied optimistic.
“Mummy never cries, what Mama says” you replied, both women sighed, what you said what exactly true, your vision began to blur slightly as tears welled up in your eyes, you could sense something was wrong, you saw the stretcher being brought on and a few tears fell from your eyes, they landed on Millie’s arms which were wrapped around you, she squeezed you slightly tighter at the sensation and turned her head to Emma “Do you need me? I know you said you might want me to go on but like do you need me?”
“No no. Go. Take her. This has to be overwhelming for her, maybe head down to the medical room so you’re there for when Sam gets down there. Her and Sam matter more than the game,” Emma replied whole heartedly.
“Thank you, Emma, I’ll keep you updated” Millie replied before getting up, she gathers your things and headed down to the medical room. Your Mum was brought in shortly after, already having had scans, the doctors updated Millie and told her was going on, the three of you sat in the room in silence, Sam quickly falling asleep, Millie knew there would be a lot going through her head and so just let her be.
The door opened gently, and your Mama walked in, she kissed your forehead before she spoke, “Hey, baby girl, how is Mummy?” she ruffled your hair.
“Hurt”, you reply.
“ACL” Millie said informing your Mama better, your Mama’s face broke at the three letters and she turned to your Mum who had just woken up from her brief nap, her face relaxed slightly at the sight of her fiancé, they hugged as a silence filled the air, which was soon broken by your Mum, “Kris-” her voice broke as Mama interrupted her “Hey, it’s okay, I’m here now, I’ve got you, we’ll get through this together, I promise, I love you” your Mama said as your Mum broke down in tears, you started crying too, you didn’t know what was going on, your Mum was upset, your Mama seemed upset, Emma was stressed. Your cries made Sam cry even more, “I’ll just take her out for a second, I’ll calm her down and try to explain to her what’s happened” Millie told both of your Mum’s, who nodded gratefully, before she got up, holding you in her arms and walked out, she opted not to stop in the locker room and instead she walked out into the hallway and found a more quite spot, before she slid down the walk and sat on the ground, she positioned you so that you were sitting in her lap facing her, you just leaned into her and sobbed into her chest, she rubbed your back as she tried to sooth you, after a while you leant back at looked at her, “Millie,” “yeah?” she replied softly, “What’s wrong with Mummy?”
“Well, your Mummy’s hurt her knee,” “Oh, will she get better” “Yeah, she will” “Is it bad?” Millie nodded, before she pulled out her phone, she quickly did something on it before showing you a photo “See this. This is a knee, and this is a ligament”, the ligament was highlighted purple in the picture, “a ligament is sort of like a very strong rubber band, and this ligament is very important, it kind of holds your knee together, its an ACL, and your Mummy has hurt her ACL, and she will need surgery to fix it, and she will have to work very hard to get better, she will get better though, it will just take a long time. Does that make sense” you nodded in response still absorbing all of the information.
“You’re oddly good at that Mils maybe you should become a teacher when you retire” a voice from above said, the voice held an amused but kind tone. Millie looked up to see Magda and Pernille stand in front of her. “We thought to just come and check that you and Y/N were okay,” Magda said as they both sat down either side of Millie. You smiled at both of them, and they smiled back. “We’ve had showers and everything, if you want, we can take Y/N so you can have a shower and stuff” Pernille offered.
“Thanks guys, that would be great.” She said to them before looking to you “Hey, I’m just going to have a shower quickly, but I’ll come back and then if you want, we can go see Mummy” she soft said to you. “Okay,” you replied before standing up and moving over to Pernille, you quickly found a place in her lap, and smiled at her again. Millie got up and went into the locker room, Magda shuffled closer to you and Pernille. “How are you feeling Y/N?” Magda asks, “Sad, and and I don’t know, why did Mummy have to get hurt?” you replied, for your age you were quite good at expressing your emotions and thoughts, it was something Sam had taught you, first with little amounts of sign then with words, it was important to her that you were able to do so due to her job and the fact that you would be around people often who didn’t know you inside out like she did.
Both women sighed before Pernille replied “I know, it’s unfair, isn’t it, and it’s also okay to not know how you feel, sometimes emotions are confusing, and sometimes they get to much but that is okay.” You just hummed and nodded in reply, Pernille’s words were oddly comforting. Magda whispered something in Pernille’s ear before she got up and went back into the locker room, she returned shortly later, with your water bottle, and blanket in hand, she sat back down handed you your water bottle, you took some big sips before handing it back to her, she then laid your blanket over you and within seconds you were asleep.
You had been woken up due to some movement and look up to find you were now in Millie’s arms, “Do you want to see Mummy now?” you nodded sleepily, Millie took you through the locker room and into the medical room, where your Mummy was.
“Hey, baby girl, I missed you.” Your Mummy told you; you could hear the sadness in her voice.
“Do you want her? She has been sleeping, probably will go back to sleep” Millie said to Sam, who nodded, so she carefully put you in Sam’s lap, your little legs were either side of her body, and you quickly snuggled into the familiar comfort of your Mum. “I love you Mummy, I will help you get better,” “Thank you baby, I love you lots, never forget that” she replied as she placed a kissed-on top of your head. The room was silent, as your Mummy just sat there, you in her lap and Millie in the chair adjacent.
You were half asleep when you heard your Mum mumble “I’m sorry” to Millie. “For what?” you felt her shrug, and a tear rolled down her cheek.
“Sammy, we’ve got you I promise, everyone was so concerned about you and already asking how they should help, I’m pretty sure little miss is going to get lots of sleepover invites but I did remind them that you love her and so maybe offering to take her away and possibly leaving you on your own wasn’t the best idea.” You felt your Mum’s chest vibrate as she laughed at what Millie had just said before Millie continued “I’ll be here every step of the way, if you need anything, anything at all I will come over and help, even if it’s just a square of chocolate, but in all seriousness we will all help you, with anything, I will literally be a text or call away.”
____
They next week was tough, for all three of you, you got sick, Sam had just had her surgery and Kristie was looking after both of you whilst also still training and playing at West Ham, however to ease the load Steph came over to visit, Dean had gone away and she was lonely or at least that’s what she said so that your Mum’s didn’t feel worse than they already did about her staying over and helping.
About 2 months into your Mum’s injury you went away on a Team Trip with the team but it was Emma and Millie who took you, they promised Sam that they would take extra special care of you in which they did, you had an absolutely fantastic time, you got lots of treats, got to stay up late, helped Emma with training, and even got to walk out with Emma as coach, during the line ups at one stage. The Matilda’s Olympic Qualifier Squad was being announced and so Sam was having a hard time emotionally with her injury, so Millie and Emma decided that they would take you with them.
______
After a long 9 months you Mum made her return, it was a home game and the fans went wild, you were just happy that your Mum was happy again.

bUT IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT BUT MINE
and it wAS YOUR HEART ON THE LINE
I REALLY FUCKED IT UP THIS TIME
didnt I MY Dear
mattie franklin, anya corazon, julia cornwall
okay so i watched madame web in theatres last weekend and omfg?? they were so cute and definitely giving me major throuple vibes i canttt
also i havent written in awhile i am so sorry! and im also so sorry if this isnt what you wanted from me, also this is just a quick writing i did in 30 minutes so PLEASEE bear with me 🙏
also title is from the mazzy star song obv and it has nothing to do with the song whatsoever i just didnt know what else to put.
it was a simple thing.
nothing to be jealous over, or make a fuss about, but yet anya was sitting alone in the swivel seats, staring across the diner.
staring at them.
mattie and julia, the three of them had just met in a life or death situation, and that was just what made this more special.
compacting.
primal, even.
she was jealous, jealous of those boys at the booths cheering the two girls on as they danced on the large-sized table.
julia, with her button up shirt tied up into a hairtie, showing off her stomach, asked anya to come join in on the fun. but all anya could do was nod a simple “no” in response.
her glasses were in the side pocket of the button up, not wanting to seem “nerdy” or “uncool” infront of the boys.
but a real man wouldn’t mind that.
a real man would love her nerdiness, her innocence, the way she tried resolve every situation with her apologies.
a real woman, wouldn’t care at all.
mattie, with her flashy attire and skateboard, danced with julia while laughing off. anya couldn’t just see how it was fun to dance on tables for boys, it just felt too seen.
mattie didn’t care what people thought of her, but anya did. every once in awhile she would catch one of the boys give her a dirty look, as if she was too eye-catching.
but since when was that a problem?
again, a real man wouldn’t mind that.
a real man wouldn’t care about the way she shows off, the way she acts and plays around, but these weren’t real men were they? no, they were boys.
a real woman, wouldn’t care at all.
every once and awhile the two would glance back at anya, finishing up her food. mattie would shrug, pulling julia back into a dance, while julia would crook a soft but sad smile, her guilty conscience taking over.
it wasn’t until anya caught one of the boys staring up julia’s skirt, and one of the boys eyeing too hard at matties pair, that she had finally decided to shut this shit-show down.
“alright come on.” anya scolded, she felt bossy, and mean, but this was just plain out weird. who would she be to not say anything?
mattie just looked at julia like she didnt hear anything behind her, whispering to her quietly, “pretend you don’t know her” and julia just responded with a look of both worry and guilt.
“toxic” by britney spears was still blaring through the diner’s speakers as anya caught one of the guys eyeing julia a little too hard. with too much sexual intention. she spoke up once more, this time towards the boys instead of the two dancing ontop of the table.
“could you quit that? you would think that guys like you would have the decency to not look at a girl’s body like that? it’s just fucking disrespectful. come on, can we just go?” anya finished off, looking at the two with almost a pleading look.
the two just stopped, hopping off of the table. mattie tipped the waiter, and julia untied her shirt, reapplying her glasses.
“im really sorry.” was the first word said when the three left the diner together. which had, obviously, came from julias mouth.
“for?” was all anya could respond with, she was just too angry. not from the two, but from that booth. she never thought that people could just be so disrespectful and disgusting.
“i.. nevermind.. ” julia answered, she could feel herself about to cry, cutting herself off. mattie was completely silent as she kicked rocks in the dirt, suddenly feeling a warm touch to her cold hand.
anya was grabbing her hand, bring it to a soft hand-hold. mattie glanced over, seeing her holding julia’s aswell. “well there’s nothing to be sorry for, it’s not your fault people are just assholes” mattie responded to julia.
“can.. can i be honest with you both?” anya asked, scarce and worrisome.
the two nodded, looking back at anya as she spoke. “i feel like.. i have this responsibility to look out for you both.. and not just because i feel like its right, but because i feel like ive genuinely caught a liking to you guys. the both of you.”
the rest of the walk back to the forest was silent, just quiet steps through leaves and sticks.
and it stayed that way, stayed that way until mattie made her move.
she pulled anyas face towards her own, kissing her softly on the lips, and all anya could do was kiss back because she knew thats what she wanted. what she has been thinking about since they first met.
julia just stared from far off, stared at the two. she didnt know what to do, if she should feel left out or not. but even then, she didn’t have time to think as anya pulled away from mattie, then pulling julie into her lips.
it was different than kissing a boy, mattie thought, while julia thought about how it was different overall, as she has never kissed anyone before.
but a thought that the two both shared was the fact that her lips were soft, beautiful, like pillows.
but a thought that the three of them shared was love
and that thought was strong. but there’s nothing wrong with that.

The reader is an FBI agent like scott (she’s Rémi scott ‘daughter) they are married and working a case with the other units like the triple crossover I got inspired by that 😂. While working to stop a threat and after what happened to Nina, the reader gets chosen for an Undercover job with her father and scola but refuse because it’s too risky and later on everyone discovers that she’s pregnant and she can’t put herself into a dangerous position after Nina’s almost losing her life. Let’s give them an happy ending. After the case it’s done where everyone is together and remi being a proud granddad and scott being thrilled being a father even if he has his trauma because of his mother abandonment.
A/N So this is going to be like the crossover !! With the next chapter about Italy then one about New york !! I know this one may seem a little boring but i’m just trying to get an introduction going !!
P.S. If you like my work please comment like and reblog it means a lot to see interactions on my work !!!
Y/N’s Pov
When you woke up this morning it was unusually quiet in the house. You didn’t hear Scott moving around like he usually does. He always would wake up before you. He would make coffee and take Tank out.
Before you were even pregnant you always were a heavy sleeper. Always waiting until the last possible second to get up. But now that you were carrying a whole human it was so much worse than it was before.
This morning the sun was hitting you in the face and Tank was stretched out enjoying the heat from the sun. You really didn’t want to get up now. But suddenly your phone went off and you groaned loudly .
You reached over and grabbed it and it was your dad Remy calling you. When you saw it was him you quickly answered it
“Hey dad what’s up” You asked
“Can I just call to check in on my 2 favoriate people in the world.” Remy said
“You can but Tank is sleeping and Scott is at work so sorry you missed them” You said smiling in the phone.
You heard him laughing to
“Awe well damn i guess i’ll have to call back then” He said
“Mmm i guess because other than your stuck with me” You said laughing.
“I guess that will do for know how’s the baby doing” Remy asked
“It’s all good we just went for our 24 week check up and their fine” You said
“I know he’s doing good he takes after me” Remy said
“Good try dad but you know were not finding out the gender we want it to be a surprise” You said.
“I know I know thought i would for sure trick you up that time” Remy said
“I’m to smart for that” You said laughing
“Well you did get that from me. And listen I love you all okay but I just got to work we got a big case i’ll call you later” Remy said
“Okay I love you to” You said.
You hung up the phone and smiled. You really did miss your dad a lot. He was a single dad so the two of you were really close.
Looking at the time you realized you legit had to go. You rolled out of bed heaving yourself up. Tank immediately got up and followed you.
You walked down the hallway and into the kitchen and was surprised to see no sign of Scott.
You thought it was strange but figured it was something to do with work. Being the boss he had a different set of possibilities he had to focus on.
So you walked to the bathroom and got into the shower. The warm water was rolling down your body and it felt soo good.
You took a few minutes extra and just laid down and enjoyed it. You then washed your hair and body and got out.
After you began your usual routine of getting ready for the day. Being pregnant made it a little more harder but you powered through it.
Then you went into the kitchen and made yourself breakfast for the day. You were always so hungry in the morning.
Tank ate his breakfast too sitting right next to you. After you were done you grabbed your stuff and then headed out.
You and Tank walked out to your car and then made the journey into work. You liked to blast your music the whole way.
Tank stuck his head out the window and he enjoyed every minute of it.
After about 15 minutes you made it to work. You got your stuff and you and Tank headed inside.
You walked in and looked around for Scott but still didn’t see him. So you made your way up to the Pen and saw him walking out his office. He had a worried look on his face.
He looked up and saw you and walked straight over to you. He wrapped his arms around your belly and pulled you in tight.
“Hey good morning sorry we got a big one and I didn’t wanna wake you” Scott said
“It’s okay I figured that much what’s going on” You asked
“ A Diplomat’s daughter and family was killed on her wedding day he was the only surviror” He said
“Damn that’s horrible is he American or what’s going on” You asked.
“He is not but we think he is planning revenge and it’s connecting back to New York” he said
“That is a lot so what we have to look into something that may happen” You asked
You both heard footsteps coming up which meant Vo and Raines were also arriving. Scott un wrapped his arms around you and you walked over to your desk and sat down.
He stood in front of your desk with his arms folded in .
“Hey guys good morning” Raines said
“Good morning” Everyone Vo said
“Good morning” You and Scott both said.
They sat there stuff down and after a few minutes Scott started presenting to everyone.
“Hey guys listen up we got a big one a diplomat’s daughter and family was killed on her wedding day due to a bomb. I’ve been coordinating with New york because we think the diplomat is planning revenge in NYC” Scott said.
“So is anyone coming down to help” Vo asked
“Yeah and how do we even know there planning something” Raines chimined in
“That would be because we have intel from a CI that there is going to be a huge bomb attack we been tracking them down for the past 2 weeks” A familiar voice chimed out
Everyone turned their heads and Jubal Valentine and a blonde hair girl who was also pregnant walked inside.
We all got up and walked over to them to greet them. But we were also shocked as hell that they were here all the way in Budapest.
“Jubal Valentine my man what are you doing here” Scott asked smiling hugging Jubal.
Jubal dropped his bag and hugged him back
“Were here to help we been working this case to well Nina here caught it to. So it makes more sense to come down here in person over the phone” Jubal said.
“Well we surely appreciate and can use the help” Scott said.
“Yeah of course and everyone this is Nina she works with us and she is truly an amazing agent and a badass” Jubal said
“Well welcome and it’s really nice to meet you” You said walking over and giving her a hug
“Oh and congrats” You said winking at her.
“Thank you so much and congrats to you” She said
“Thank you” You said
You walked over and hugged Jubal
“Hey it’s been a minute how are you” You asked
“Good nice seeing you” Jubal said.
“You to” You said
After all the introductions you gave Jubal and Nina some space to work.
They sat there stuff down and then Jubal got up and started presenting to everyone.
“So 2 weeks ago Nina came to us with a case apparently a CI said the russians were planning a huge bomb. And attacks in New York” Jubal said
“How do we trust this information” You asked.
“Because the CI was directly linked to a higher up and we have Scola under to trying to gather more information. What he was able to learn was there are some people in Italy working with them” Nina said.
“We tracked them to Italy right where according to some intel we got is where the Diplomat was last scene” NIna said
“So it looks like were going to Italy” Raines said
“Yes we are when we go Nina and Y/N I want to stay in the office for obvious reasons me and Jubal and Raines and Vo wil be boots on the ground” Scott said
“What plan are we working with i mean we got the intel but what will we even be doing” You asked.
“Right so the intel we got was that the diplomat was involved with James Delcua, a businessman in Italy with strong political ties. Last week James wired 100 thousand Us dollars to a unknown account” Nina said
“Okay” You said still confused as to where this was going
“Look I’m not being mean but there is just a lot of talk about intel and not an actual case” You said.
Raines looked at you and nodded.
“Yeah I agree I mean what the hell are we even going to Italy for” Raines asked.
“Were going and talk to this James guy then we know about some underground rings run by the russians. We figure we break those up someone will be willing to go turn” Jubal said
“Hell of a gamble” Vo said
“Yeah but right now this is the best lead we got we got to italy and try to” Jubal said
“I was thinking Jubal goes in as a handler see what he can get and Vo and Raines will work the Diplomat see if there is anything going on” Scott said
“Y/N and NIna will work in office doing surveillance, leaving no stone unturned any dirt on why this diplomat sent so much money to. Looking into these rings to who’s involved and who’s most likely to flip” Scott said.
“Okay we got a plan let’s go” Jubal said
“What about Smitty” Vo asked
“She’s already gonna meet us there she had some other stuff to attended to but she’s on the nex flight out like us” Scott said.
“So where does the dog go” Nina asked
“He’ll go with us we fly private one of the many perks of the fly team” You said.
“Awesome good to know” Nina said.
You all grabbed your go bags that you already had. Everyone headed out and there was something in your gut that was telling you this was a mistake.
I mean there wasn’t much to go on you know. Like going down and breaking some rings up and hoping they are gonna flip. People like this don’t usually turn on their higher ups.
What if there was just something more going on that you weren’t aware of.
Scott looked at you and he could see the worry in your face.
“Yeah I’m fine” You said smiling.
You all made your way to the cars and to the airport. Everyone was just talking amongst each other. Scott was sitting next to you and he usually wasn’t one for PDA so he wasn’t holding your hand or anything.
Tank on the other hand was laying all over you with his head sticking out the window.
After about a half hour drive you made it to the airport. Everyone filed into the Jet and Nina and Jubal looked in awe of everything.
“I think i’m in the wrong team” NIna said
“Yeah me to we lower class people had to fly coach” Jubal said laughing.
“Yeah well they only hire the elite team to work here” Raines said
“Elite to who” Jubal said
Everyone was laughing and making small talk with each other. You grabbed a window seat and Nina sat Across from you.
“So how do you do it” Nina asked
“What do you mean” You asked scrunching your eyebrows.
“Working with the babies dad and traveling a lot” Nina asked
“Oh” Was you started.
“I’m sorry if that’s to personal” Nina asked flustering
“No its okay it’s not how did you know about me and Scott” You asked
“I see the way he looks at you and the rings” Nina said
“I never noticed but yeah it’s hard he get’s overprotective a lot and even before the baby it got worse after but I’m thankful for him. I know someone always has my back and working with my husband has it challenges but I wouldn’t trade it” You said
“You work with the baby’s dad” You asked.
“Yeah Scola the one undercover right now and I’m really worried,” Nina said
“All you can do is pray and think positive things there is no point in worrying if you haven’t heard anything” You said
“I guess your right it’s just complicated between us” Nina said
“Listen i get that Scott is technically is my boss and in the beginning it was hard but we worked it out and now were really happy. I know it can happen for the two of you.” You said
“Yeah I hope so” Nina said.
“I know it will” You said.
The rest of the flight you two talked all baby stuff. She was having a boy and she was surprised to know you were waiting to know.
The flight flew by and finally you all touched down in Italy. The butterflies were heavy but you just had to keep breathing.
When everyone got out of the plane we all piled back into the car. Me and Nina and Jubal in one and Raines, Vo and Scott with tank in the other one.
NIna kept looking at her phone. And i felt bad for her. i could see Scott I can’t imagine being so far away from him and being undercover.
“Hey it’s going to be okay” You whispered to her
“Yeah I know” Nina said.
“So i forgot to ask Scott you don’t happen to know Remy Scott do you” Nina asked
“Actually i do he’s my dad. He inspired me join the breau do you know him” You asked
“I meant him a couple times when i was working under he said he had a daughter working in Budapest” Nina said smiling.
“I can reach out to him I know he can find out what’s going on with Scola” You asked
“No I’m good I don’t want to cause a big scene” Nina said
The rest of the car ride was silent after that. The conversation just kind of fell everyone looking at the beautiful scenes.
You finally made it to the American Diplomat office. Scott’s car was right behind.
“Everyone ready” Jubal asked.
“Yeah lets do it” You said.
You all headed in and all eyes were on you guys. Which was nothing new. You found Smitty who was waiting for you all.
“Were set up in here and welcome everyone let’s get started” Smiity said
“Let’s go” Scott said
You all headed into the office and put your stuff down. You were setting up. and all you kept thinking was
You were in good hands and it’s all going to be okay
It’s all going to be okay was all you kept saying. I mean what is the worse that could happen ??
A/N: this took so long to write, would have been longer but got loads of help from the 🐐 @codiemarin and some really sweet anons. Also not proof read as usual

You were showered, dressed and on your way to breakfast in record time, you had just made your way into the elevator and the door were just about to close when a hand stopped it and your heart stopped when you saw the two people you had been purposely avoiding enter.
Maria and Ingrid.
——
You really didn’t know how to react, you were sure the universe were playing some sick joke on you.
Your eye fell to the floor as you made yourself as small as possible, backing into far corner hoping the elevator would hurry up and get to your floor.
As your luck would have it, that was not the case as you felt the elevator stutter and the the lights flickered as the elevator came to an abrupt stop.
You couldn’t believe it. Your heart started racing as your chest stared to feel tight.
You hated small spaces and they knew that.
Sitting on the ground you brought your knees to your chest, focusing on your breathing to try and calm yourself down but it was no use.
Your ears were ringing and the longer you were sat in this elevator the worse it got.
You cursed yourself under your breath for forgetting to charge your phone, there is three people who can help you like this. Maria, Ingrid and Alexia, you didn’t want to ask the first 2 and you had no way to contact alexia so the next best option was to calm yourself down.
Too focused on trying to calm down you didn’t notice the worried glanced sent your way by Maria and Ingrid nor did you notice them getting closer until you felt a warm hand cover the one on your right knee. You look up, met with the worried eyes of Ingrid,
“Breathe elskling.” She said in a soothing tone.
She began guiding you how to breath, showing you how to do it and getting you to copy her. Her hand on your knee started rubbing soothing circles as she continued to guide you.
“You’re doing so well carino, just like Ingrid.” You heard Maria chime in, you hadn’t noticed but she had been speaking to the staff through the emergency button on the lift.
Your breathing had almost steadied out and your heat rate dropping back to normal as you started to come back to reality but then reality hit and the past few weeks came flooding back.
Removing Ingrids hand from your knee, your gaze found your shoes as you mumbled a quick thank you.
You heard Ingrid sigh before she sat with Maria at the opposite side of the elevator, Maria mentioned that they would try fix the lift as soon as possible but until then we would have to wait it out.
After 10 minutes you started to get restless, you were so bored and with no battery on your phone you were stuck trying to keep yourself entertained.
You heard a throat clear so you snuck a glance to see two pairs of eyes already on you, trying to divert your eyes as quickly as possible but Maria spoke up.
“Amor can we talk? Please?” She said, voice filled with desperation.
“There is nothing to talk about.” You snapped back, unsure where the sudden burst of anger came from.
Hurt and guilt, two emotions so clear on the faces of the Spaniard and Norwegian. You didn’t care though, you had been to hell and back for weeks and not once had they apologised to you or at the bare minimum spoken to you.
“We just want to explain ourselves, please and if you still want nothing to do with us after then we will leave you alone.” Ingrid pleased, voice sounding as desperate as Maria’s did.
Anger bubbling up inside of you, unsure if it was due to wondering where they got the audacity to ask you to explain themselves after how they have been treating you or the fact you are considering hearing them out after everything that has happened.
“I have nothing to say to you and I don’t care what you have to say to me. - You spat, feeling tears welling up in your eyes - You both have had multiple opportunities these past few weeks and neither of you have even thought to apologise.”
You were emotionally and physically drained, you were really at the end of you patience and you couldn’t speak to anyone about how you were feeling, well other than alexia but you have been feeling like a burden to her so you really don’t want to bother her, not when she has her own issues.
The more they persisted that you listen, the more you were considering it. You had no energy to keep fighting so with a roll of your eyes you gestured them to start talking.
Ingrid started, “First off elskling we are so so sorry for how we have been treating you - Maria hummed in agreement next to her - when we bailed on you it was not intentional, we were getting dressed when a few of the girls randomly showed and made plans which we tried to had to get out of but we couldn’t, not without explaining why.”
Maria was next to speak, “We felt so guilty and then to see you in training, we really wanted to approach you but we thought it would be better to give you time to cool off. Then you got the concussion and we so badly wanted to run over.”
She had to take a deep breath to calm down before continuing, “We’ve done a lot of thinking, if you give us another chance we are done hiding, done not communicating properly because we love you so much, our relationship is not the same without you carino.”
Your head was spinning, did they really love you or were they just trying to get you to let them back in so they could hurt you again. You couldn’t handle that, not again.
You were broken out of your thoughts when the elevator came back to life, going down to your stop before the doors finally opened. You sprung to your feet, racing out past the maintenance workers and a very confused looking Aitana.
Entering the bathroom you leaned over the sink, taking a deep breath and splashing your face with cold water.
Silently berating yourself for even thinking about the possibility of forgiven them but you couldn’t help in, you were in love with them and no matter how much you tried to get over them, you couldn’t.
The door swung open revealing a concerned looking alexia, she rushed to your side, talking in really fast Spanish which you didn’t understand but by the tone of her voice you could tell she was concerned about you.
She held your face in her hands, searching your face for any kind of indication on how you were feeling.
You wanted so badly to tell her what happened, how it makes you feel and how angry with yourself you are that you were ready to drop everyone and forgiven then, even after everything they’ve done but it was as if you forgot how to speak.
You just shook your head, reassuring her you were fine and that you just got worked up due to the small space, not wanting to bother her with your issues.
She didn’t seem convinced but could tell you didn’t want to talk about it so instead she comforted you.
——
Later on in the evening you and alexia formulated a plan to make them jealous, you were excited but also nervous, when you were with them they were quite territorial and you don’t see why this would be any different.
It was the following day, you had just beaten Real Madrid 4-0 in the final and you were all celebrating with champagne in the dressing room when an idea popped into alexia’s head.
She grabbed a bottle of half finished champagne and made her way over to you, holding your jaw in one of her massive hands, you looked at her confused but she just gave you a ‘play along’ expression so you relaxed, she tilted your head back while guiding you to open your mouth, she brought the champagne bottle up to your lips without breaking eye contact and began to pour it in your mouth, you felt you face heat up as she used her thumb to wipe the excess that dripped down your chin as your teammates now focused on your two and we’re cheering.
There were 2 sets of eyes burning holes into you both and if looks could kill alexia would most certainly be dead, she noticed and sent you a subtle smirk before retreating back to her cubby, you’re still stunned.
You heard them sigh loudly before exiting the changing room, no one noticed and just continued partying, you were dancing with Frido and Mariona.
A while later you all were packing up and heading to the bus ready to go to the hotel and get ready to go out partying.
You were heading towards the exit alone, one of the last to leave when you were tugged into an empty room, your body tensed as you squeezed your eye shut, a surprised squeal left your mouth which was muted by a hand.
The hand was removed as your heard a light switch turn on but you never opened your eyes, “Please don’t kill me,” you begged.
Receiving no reply, you opened your eyes to see a confused but amused looking Maria and Ingrid, “We aren’t going to kill you cariño,” Maria spoke, her voice soft.
You visibly relaxed but were hit with a wave of anxiety, you knew they were probably wanting to talk about your ‘show’ with alexia but they had no right to an explanation from you, not after how they treated you.
“Uhh, not to be rude but why did you drag me in here?” you questioned, voice small as you did not like being under the intense gaze of the two older women.
“What was that?” Ingrid asked, voice filled with jealously.
“None of your business.” you snapped, getting defensive at the hint of accusation in her tone.
“Are you and alexia together?” Maria asked, completely ignoring your previous comment.
“Again, none of your business!” you spat, voice getting louder as they kept speaking to you as if you had done something wrong.
You shrugged off their attempts at reaching out to touch you before opening the door and slamming it behind you, storming to the bus, you mood doing a complete 180 than what it was before they had dragged you into that room.
You took your usually seat next to alexia, admittedly sitting in the chair rather harshly, alexia looked over confused at the sudden mood change but when she saw Maria and Ingrid getting on the bus, looking rather guilty when they noticed you, she knew they were behind it and she was pissed.
She began standing, intending on confronting the pair but you assured her that you were fine and to leave it, involuntarily sitting down as the bus took off.
——
You were at a local club with the team, currently on the dance floor dancing to some song you don’t even know, alexia was pressed against your back, one hand holding a drink and the other securely placed on your hips, swaying you both to the rhythm of the song.
Maria and Ingrid were sitting in one of the many rented out booths, eyes not leaving you and alexia on the dance floor, both of their faces void of any emotion but when alexia leaned in to whisper in your ear, from their angle it looked like she was kissing your neck, their expression changed to one full of fury.
“I can feel them staring,” she giggled in your ear, you both laughed before the song switched to one alexia didn’t really like and she took that opportunity to get you both refills.
Later in the night you and alexia had separated, dancing in a big group of your teammates, you had drank more and were borderline drunk.
You’re dancing alone when a sensual song starts playing, you feel a body press into your back, hands holding your hips as Maria presses against your front, arms finding their way around your shoulder, essentially trapping you between who you now know is Ingrid. Being so close to them you could smell the alcohol on their breath.
You were so lost in the feeling of their hands on you, all of you dancing along to the music when you feel a pair of lips on your neck, you throw your head back getting lost in the familiar feeling, skins tingling where their hands roamed your body and lips touched your skin.
Suddenly hit with the reality of what was happening, you push them off and begin heading for the exit to the club, ignoring their calls of your name.
——
You had just gotten home from training when you noticed a bouquet of your favourite flowers along with a note at your door, you were very confused but as you picked it up and saw the hand writing on the note you rolled your eyes, it was Ingrid’s.
Removing the old flowers from your vase you replace them with your new flowers, you knew you should probably throw them away but you can’t.
The note was discarded on your coffee table, not able to bring yourself to read it.
Laying awake at night, your mind wandering to the note, curious to what is said but you didn’t want to give in, knowing then knew what to say to have you crawling back.
Huffing you threw off your covers and made your way to the living room where the note was sitting on the coffee table, covered by a book so you didn’t stare at it.
You ripped open the letter quite impatiently, almost tearing it in half and began to read, the letter had been split into two paragraphs, both handwritten by each Maria and Ingrid but both were along the same lines, both apologising profusely for their actions and how they have been treating you, saying there really is no excuse to have missed your anniversary dinner and professing their love to you but one line caught your eye, it was one of the last one.
‘We will make this right, we will love you how you deserve to be loved.’
That angered you, you were angry that they sounded like they think they deserved a second chance but it also made you feel warm inside, butterflies in your stomach as your checks flushed, their possessiveness done things to you and they knew it.
You didn’t want to forgive them, scared as to how they would treat you if you gave them another chance because you didn’t want to go through this again, you couldn’t but you fear you already have forgiven them.
You sighed, you had initially hoped that reading the note would calm you down but it just sent your thought spinning even more.
——
You were rushing into the training ground, cutting it fine after over sleeping, when you noticed a coffee and pastry from your favourite coffee shop sitting in your spot, you knew who done this as the coffee shop is one you frequented with Maria and Ingrid, your eyes traced the changing room to try find the duo, meeting their eyes you noticed they were already looking at you so you gave them a smile and mouthed a ‘thank you’.
They had spoken to you a few times during training but you were short with your replies, not wanting to let them in, you could tell they understood but they still looked hurt.
Pairing up with alexia for all the drills, you were basically glued to her side laughing and having fun, Maria and Ingrid were not fans of this, sending glares your way, alexia noticed and winked your way.
They approached you after training asking if you wanted to get lunch with them after, you decline, stating you had plans to get lunch with alexia, sadistically enjoying the hurt expressions they have but also feeling kinda guilt as there is no plan to get lunch with alexia, making up the excuse to decline their offer.
Bidding your goodbyes, you race off to find alexia, hoping she isn’t too busy and can actually have lunch with you.
You find her chatting with Irene and a coach so you hover close but not too close, not wanting to eaves drop.
She notices you and excused herself, making her way over to you, “Hola Bebita, are you alright?” She asked.
“I’m fine ale, would you like to have lunch with me? Maria and Ingrid asked me but I told them that I had already made plans with you,” you said, her face broke out into a teasing grin, “Lunch plans with me? I don’t remember seeing that on my calendar,” she teased.
You rolled you eyes but laughed, “But of course I’ll have lunch with you, let me finish up and then we can head out,” she continued, you nodded before disappearing off to the changing room to pack up your stuff and change.
You’re at lunch, having just told alexia about the flowers and the note last night along with the coffee and the pastry this morning, she was happy that your plan was working but she was hesitant, not wanting you to go back to them so easily after the hurt they caused you, you assured her that you wouldn’t let them in so easily, if at all.
——
The following morning you were awoken by a loud crash coming from your kitchen, you shot up before grabbing your ‘in case of emergencies’ baseball bat from your closet, slowly creeping down the hall, heart pounding out of your chest, when you hear another crash followed by Ingrid quietly scolding Maria for making too much noise, stating that the Spaniard would wake you if she was too loud, you sighed in relief, glad it wasn’t some psychotic murderer before you peaked round and saw Maria and Ingrid making breakfast and wearing matching aprons, your heart swelling at the sight.
You were confused as to how they got into your house before remembering you had given them a spare key. You made your presence know by clearing your throat cause them to whip around, Maria looking guilty as Ingrid swatted her, cursing her out for waking you before they had finished.
Your eyes trail to the mess behind them, ingredients scattered your kitchen worktop smoke, “We’re making you breakfast, it was meant to be breakfast in bed but someone can’t be quiet,” Ingrid said, facing Maria when she said the last bit.
The pancakes they were cooking began smoking, not noticing as they were too busy waiting for your reaction, “Burnt pancakes, my favourite,” you teased, they looked confused before the smoke alarm had their heads whipping around, Ingrid took the pan off the stove while Maria was wafting a towel trying to stop the smoke alarm.
They had made breakfast while your supervised, sitting on the countertop and tasting as they cooked.
You three spent the morning eating and chatting, it felt nice chatting with them, you felt relaxed and were opening up a tiny bit more which they seemed to notice.
It was an off day but they had errands to run so they bid their goodbyes and left shortly after, you were kind of disappointed when they left, you were enjoying their company and dare you say, you missed them.
You spent the rest of your morning sulking, missing the duo, deciding finally to complete your own errands.
Returning home you noticed a small box on the counter and a small note reading ‘ M & I<3’ next to it, it definitely wasn’t there before you left. Picking up the small box you opening it, revealing a pair of beautiful earrings, you were shocked as these looked expensive.
They had been so sweet ever since the elevator but you still had lingering doubt, doubt that if you let them back in things would go back to how they previously were, you didn’t want to accept there gifts and they assume that all is forgiven because it’s not and you’re not even sure what you want.
Still the gesture was nice and you liked the earrings so you decided to keep them and wear them for the team night out tonight, you had a game at the weekend so instead of going to the club, you were going to dinner at a high end restaurant in Barcelona. Alexia had texted you while you were out, telling you that she was picking you up to head to the restaurant together and to be ready by 6:30pm.
It was just after 5pm so you decided to shower and get dressed, you put on a fancy all black outfit and decide on silver jewellery to match your new earring.
You had just finished the final touches of your outfit when your phone buzzed, it was a text from alexia informing you that she was outside, you lock up and make your way out to meet her.
Alexia had decided on a slim fitting black dress, matching black heels with red accents, a black coat and a red bag to match the accents on her heels and if you were being honest, she looked phenomenal.
You and alexia had entered the restaurant, one of the first to arrive, Maria and Ingrid had not arrived yet. Sitting in between alexia and Irene at the far end of the table, too engrossed in the conversation to notice Maria and Ingrid arrive, as soon as they arrived their eyes scanned the table looking for you, frowning when they notice the seats next to you taken, especially by alexia, alexia was their friend but she was too close to you, you were theirs.
They sat across from you, you looked in their direction and they finally noticed the earrings you had on, with a sly smile Maria commented first “You look gorgeous and the earrings go with your outfit, are they new?” Ingrid hummed in agreement, eyes fixated on your outfit.
“Thank you, they just showed up,” you teased, they just chuckled.
You spent the majority of the night in conversation with the pair, you tried to engage with your other teammates but your mind was always on Maria and Ingrid, even though they were right in-front of you.
——
The following 2 weeks were similar, they would give you gifts relating to interests of yours, but it wasn’t only gifts, they spent time with you and were genuinely trying to make it up to you, even though you hadn’t explicitly gotten back with them, the line of friendship and relationship between you three was fading, no physical activities like kissing or cuddling but the chemistry between you was definitely not friendly.
There was still a deep rooted insecurity, the one that caused this whole issue, you knew before forgiving them you had to set clear boundaries, you didn’t even mind not telling the whole world but not telling the team or your family is a big no.
They were coming over tonight, Ingrid claimed it was a movie night but you knew there was something they wanted to say and your best guess would be taking the next step.
You were on your couch, knee bouncing as you waiting anxiously for their arrival any second now. You must have zoned out as you jumped when you heard a knock on your door, composing yourself your answered and were met with Maria and Ingrid, they had a few bags of what you were assuming was snacks and dinner from your favourite restaurant, opening the door wider for them to enter you greeted them with a hug.
You three spent the evening eating takeaway and watching movies, you were sat in between them but you were not cuddled up, your eyes were fixated on the screen but every so often either Maria or Ingrid would turn to look at you, they would go to say something but stop themselves and turn back and focus on the movie.
It was after the third Harry Potter film when Ingrid turned off the tv, Maria flicking on the floor lamp so you were not in pitch black, they both looked at you and you shrunk under their gaze. They sensed this, Ingrid placing a comforting hand on your knee, trying not startle you by pushing you too far, your eyes were locked on your hands and you picked at the skin around your finger nails.
“Bebita, we need to talk to you,” Maria started, she sounded nervous.
You hummed urging them to continue, “I know we have been apologising continuously over the past few weeks and we can never apologise enough.” Ingrid started, Maria agreeing before continuing, “Me and Ingrid have been talking and we want you back, want you to be ours again.”
You were silent, of course you knew it was coming but to hear them actually say it was a completely different story, you must have been lost in thoughts for so long because both girls started to get nervous, like they read the signals wrong and pushed you too early. “That of course is if you want us, we understand if you’re not ready,” Maria blurted out, voice shaky with a hint of disappointment laced in her tone.
You lifted your head and looked at them for the first time since the conversation began, “I do want to be with you again but I can’t be with you if it’s going to be the same as last time, I don’t care if we don’t tell the world but I want to tell the girls and our families,” they looked sceptical by your request.
“I’m sorry but if we can’t do that then I can’t be with you,” you told them firmly, finally growing a backbone and not letting them walk all over you.
No one said anything for what felt like ages, you assumed the silence meant that they didn’t want you if it meant outing your relationship, you accepted this conversation as closure but you would be lying if you said it didn’t hurt any less now there was basically confirmation of the end of your relationship, your eyes found your hands again, eyes stinging as you desperately try to hold back the tears.
“Ok,” Ingrid said nonchalantly, your head shooting up, confusion written all over your face as you see both girls trying to fight back smiles.
“Ok what?” You asked, slightly irritated that they were smiling while your relationship was ending but you were even more confused.
“Ok we’ll tell them, tell everyone that you’re ours. We love you so much carino and we won’t let anything stop us from loving you so if this is what you want, this is what we will give you,” Maria stated, now both girls grinning from ear to ear, unable to fight back their smiles, you look over at Ingrid with a questioning look as she nods in confirmation.
The only way to describe your sudden feeling is euphoric, like the stress of the past few months had suddenly disappeared, you pulled both girls into you, hugging them both as best as you can but the hug was at an awkward angle, you couldn’t care less though as you held onto them with a vice grip, scared that if you let them go they’d leave you again.
You feel them trying to pull away so you respond by gripping tighter, you feel their bodies vibrate with laughter, eventually Ingrid wriggles her way free, her eyes lock to yours, you both sporting matching grins as she lifts her hand to cup your face, wordlessly she leans in and you do too, meeting her half way, when your lips finally meet its amazing, her lips are plump and soft as they move against your own, her hand that’s cupping your face tightens on your jaw as the other cradles the back of your neck, you change the angle by tilting your head slightly cause her to groan and press her lips harder against yours, your hand is still holding Maria while the other tightly grips her bicep.
So caught up with kissing Ingrid your surroundings blurring until your hear someone clear their throat, you turn around to see Maria feigning jealously, you grin apologetically at her before leaning forward and capturing her lips with your own, her lips soft like Ingrids though her kisses are rougher, still they send your head spinning all the same, she kisses you fiercely and passionately, teeth nibbling your bottom lips as you gasp, using the opportunity to slip her tongue into your mouth. You felt teeth nipping at the exposed skin on your neck as the Norwegians hands roam your clothes body, tracing from your shoulders down your back and around to your torso.
Eventually pulling away, your chest heaving as once again your face is plastered with a goofy grin, just ecstatic to have your girls back. You spent the rest of your evening watching the rest of the Harry Potter movies before begging them to take you to their apartment so you could have a much needed reunion with Bagheera.
That night they both had composed instagram posts to announce your relationship to the world, you tried to assure them that you were fine with just telling the team and your families however they were insistent, claiming that the world needs to know how in love with you they were so they posted a photo dump each, some with the three of you, some randoms ones of you on your own like when you fell asleep on the couch and Bagheera had claimed your head as his new bed.
You cuddled up in between them, content with how things panned out and hoping that that is the drama over for a while so you can just focus on your girls, not forgetting to text alexia an update, thanking her for her support over the last few months and wishing her well on her date and demanding an update when she returns home. Locking you phone and relaxing you shut your eyes as you three call it a night.
Just you and your girls and the cat.

You stood on the ledge, hands in your pockets as you gazed down below. So this is where she died. Where Natasha decided to sacrifice herself for the greater good. Resentment stirred in your stomach. Normally, being at this height would make your head light and vision blurry but today- today your mind was clear. You knew what you had to do. Closing your eyes, you took a step back away from the cliff, letting the memoires wash over you one last time.
Druig x reader x Makkari word count: 1272 warnings: ANGST, crying, nightmares, abandonment issues, shirtless druig, druig calls reader sweetheart, no use of y/n, robin writing in an in-laws induced rage (ง'̀-‘́)ง A/N: the reader views Druig and Makkari as parental figures and is in a younger body (think teenagerish). This isn’t poly, they’re concerned for someone who they basically view as their child/someone they’re very protective over. I would also like to ask the court to ignore how I wrote this within the span of an hour and had no intention of posting it because I was pissed off and here we are now.
“You haven’t been okay recently,” Druig states from across the room. “I’m sorry?” You look up from your desk to face him, quirking your eyebrow. “You’ve been quieter, more resigned.” Makkari signs. “I just lost two close family members and had another backstab us before flying into the sun, so pardon me if I haven’t been ‘okay’ recently.” you jab back at her. “Don’t take it out on her, she’s just concerned.” Druig fired back with the same energy, ever ready to defend Makkari from your emotions. “I just need space, I only need space for a little while and then I’ll be back to my chipper self.” Makkari’s face twisted, her eyes scrunched. “I don’t believe that,” her hands began to move again, “you’ve been like this since we found you.” You opened your mouth to defend yourself before the anger and realization won over all common sense. “Please just get out, I’m tired and I don’t need a lecture right now.” Druig looked ready to protest again but Makkari beat him to the punch, grabbing his arm and dragging him out of the room. You collapsed onto the corner edge of your bed, rubbing your hand over your shoulder to calm yourself down. You don’t owe them an explanation. Hell, Druig was the one who left. He caused your whole family to break up. You sighed and ran a hand through your hair. You’re allowed to be upset. You nodded to the air before you jumped up and started to get yourself ready for bed. ‘What do they care anyway,’ you thought to yourself, ‘they have each other, always have. They didn’t need to worry about you.’ You changed into one of Druigs old shirts that you stole a few weeks ago and a pair of shorts, continuing to pace around your room. Trying to convince yourself you were in the right. It’s only when the lights are off and you’re hidden underneath the warmth of your blankets does the smallest bit of guilt seep in. You can feel how tired you are peak in between the edges of your forming sadness. The bad feeling makes you uncomfortable, makes your skin crawl and your body squirm. You don’t like sitting in the feelings because that requires you to, well feel them. You let sleep win over, going down easy. Little did you know that the guilt wouldn’t throw in the towel so fast. That it would follow you to your dreams and transform them to nightmares.
You can feel the dirt beneath your feet, seeping in between your toes. Frogs croak all around you, the humidity making your hair frizz. You turn to look over your shoulder when you hear the first scream. Your head whips in the direction that it came from. Smoke dances across the sky, accompanied by more screaming and crying. You look over to the other eternals but they’re frozen in place next to you. You’re trying to move- trying to help the people, Ajaks rules be damned, but you can’t. Your feet are cemented in place. You call out to Druig, begging him to make it stop, to end these peoples suffering. You cry out about how you don’t care that it will cause your family to break apart, that these people shouldn’t have to die. He doesn’t acknowledge you. You turn to look at Makkari, lifting your hands to sign. They are frozen to your sides. The other eternals turn around to walk away. You tried to call out to them again. Tried to plead to end the madness that was unfolding in front of you, but your mouth was stuck too.
You became a statue, subjected to watch the genocide unfold and then watch civilization build atop of Tenochtitlan. Watch the forest around you become apartment buildings, grocery stores, jewelry shops. And at the center of it all you watched yourself move in across the street, a darkness surrounded you as you took in the sights of where your family fell apart centuries ago. You sat, silent and still as a statue. You watched the world forget the tragedy that occurred right beneath their feet. And eventually, they forgot you too.
You awoke with a small cry. Your chest heaved as tears slid down your face. You placed your elbows on your knees and raked your fingers across your scalp, trying to forget the visions of you being abandoned and cemented in place. You let out a loud sob, your mouth betraying your command you’d sent to your body to suppress your emotions. The cries kept on coming as you saw flashes of your dream, over and over again. You threw your blankets off of your bed and placed your feet on the cold floor hoping it would ground you, but all you could feel was the dirt between your toes and your cries grew louder. You placed a hand over your mouth to muffle yourself before standing up to look for some water, something to help remind you that this was reality.
When your search came up empty your tears just began to flow faster. You threw open your door and flew into the hallway, towards the room that Druig and Makkari shared. Their door was left slightly ajar. You placed your hand on the cold stone before a dark voice in your head whispered ‘What if Druig’s still mad that you were rude to Makkari,’ you sucked in a gasp as the voice continued, ‘what if they’re tired of you pushing them away.’ You slid down the wall outside their door, “please stop,” you begged the voice. ‘They don’t love you anymore.’ Your body jolted forward with more crying. You knew, deep down, that you were just being ridiculous and that the voice was just a result of your heightened emotions and looming hysteria. You couldn’t distinguish that right now, though. You stood up and turned to go back to your room and stop bothering everyone with the sounds of your crying, as the door opened. You were greeted with a shirtless Druig, rubbing sleep out of his eyes and looking around to find the source of the sound that was, no doubt, keeping him up. “What’s going- hey what’s wrong, sweetheart?” He picked you up and placed you on your feet. “I just had a bit of a bad dream,” you sniffled, “I’m going back to my room now, sorry if I woke you up.” He considered you for a moment with concerned eyes before stopping you. “Why were you down here in the first place,” you shut your eyes before whispering, “I just didn’t want to be alone.” You felt strong hands maneuver you around and into Druigs chest. He soothed his hand up and down your back, shushing your gentle cries. “It’s all going to be okay, sweetheart, it’s all going to be just fine.” He walked the two of you backwards into the room before lifting you off of your feet and walking you over to the bed. He placed you on the mattress and you turned around to face a worried Makkari. “What happened,” She signed. “Bad dream,” you moved your hands in response as she wiped the tears off of your face. Your lip trembled and you moved underneath their covers, hiding your face in Makkari’s chest hoping to suppress your tears. Druig rubbed his hand up and down your back as he slid into the bed next to you. “You were right,” you sobbed. “What do you mean,” Druig responded looking at Makkari with a concerned look that you couldn’t see. “I’m not okay.”

It was an accident.
If confronted about it Ingrid will vehemently deny snooping.
Because she wasn’t. In any way.
It all began with a simple tidying up. No matter how many times Ingrid reminded Mapi not to leave her various books and bags around the house the Spaniard just never took it to heart.
