Patching Pain With Presents

Aaaaaand once again, a day late. Hopefully I’ll catch up soon. Anyway, this is my fic for Day 2 of Scarlet Inertia Week. I hope you enjoy it in its fluffy glory. (And yes, I realize how weird it is to think of these three being fluffy at each other. It can happen.)

And if anyone’s curious, the song mentioned in this fic is [this one].

Day 2. Gifts/Presents

‘I got you something’ were the most dreaded words in the English language as far as Thad was concerned. Every time he’d ever heard it from Zoom it was always right before he got thrown into one more situation he didn’t want to be in. A new friction-less suit? Go fight Flash or Impulse and make their lives hell for me. A suit that had a stealth mode that could disguise him as Bart so he’d be less likely to be harassed? Go take Impulse’s place for me and sabotage that family from the inside. More reliable communications systems built in? Listen to me bitch and complain constantly over how you’re doing everything wrong no matter how hard you work— no it’s not good enough and how dare you question me. A decent computer that could almost keep up with him? Learn how to use this so you can be useful for once— and while you’re at it work your ass off until I’m satisfied that you’re better with computers than Impulse can ever be. It was always a trap, a back-handed gift, another way to use and manipulate and maneuver him to whatever ends Zoom had— all while constantly being given the message that no matter how hard he tried that it would never be good enough.

So when Red bashfully said, “I got you something,” that worry slammed full-force into his mind.

Thad eyed him warily, not quite looking at him head on. “Yeah? What?”

It’s a day late, but here’s my fic for day 1 of Scarlet Inertia Week. I hope you enjoy it.

Warning: casual mention of murdering people. (It’s Scarlet Scarab and Inertia. What do you expect, honestly?)

Day 1: Destruction/O R G A N C O L L E C T I O N

 “I’d call that… 10 points,” Thad smirked as a car erupted in flames.

“10 points? 10 points?” Red scoffed, “It’s on fire! That’s at least 15!” Khaji Ad gave an audible agreeing chirp.

“Yeah 10. It’d be worth 15 if it blew up.”

At that Red and Khaji Ad shaped a plasma cannon from one arm and shot the burning car, causing it to explode and rocket into the air a story or two. “It was fucking 15.”

Thad couldn’t keep the grin from his face. “Well now it is.”

Red gave a huff as his arm returned to normal. “You can be so fucking hard to please sometimes.”

“I don’t know about that. I think the Bedbug would say otherwise.”

“Oh don’t even-” Before Red could even complete his sentence Khaji Ad took over just enough to interrupt.

“-He’s right though.”

Thad deliberately stepped closer and said in a tone full of mischief and glee, “See? He agrees with me.”

“…Traitors. Both of you. Should’ve never met your gringo ass so you and the pendejo in my spine wouldn’t gang up on me.”

So it’s still the 16th where I am, so I’m not technically late for Scarlet/Inertia week. >_>

Day 1: ORGAN COLLECTION

(I’m still a bit disorganized from recent events, so I went with ink and marker instead of my usual digital art (although I really shouldn’t have drawn it on notebook paper >_> ))
