A/N: It's a Roslyn story!
Chapter 1
12 surprisingly short years after Other Felicity and Rodney's deaths, we open at the manor's out door pool where a familiar girl's head popped out of the water her naturally dark blue hair cascading around it. She pulled herself out of the water knowing it was almost breakfast time. She was watched the sunrise as she dried herself off. For reasons her mother will never understand, she went for a little swim every morning. "Happy birthday, Lyn."
Roslyn jumped slightly in surprise before throwing the wet towel playfully at her cousin. "Don't scare me like that, Slate!" Slate Thomas is Connor and Isabella's son. He's two years younger than Roslyn and has his fathers brown hair but because of the chemicals in his mother's system, his eyes are solid black. However, neither child seems to have inherited the super strength or speed. She processed what he just said. "...It's my birthday?"
"Yeah didn't you know?" Slate asked
Roslyn shrugged. "Dates have never really been a major priority for me."
"You're just like Uncle Adam and Aunty Feliss." Slate sighed
"Yeah, like Aunt Isabella and Uncle Connor are any better at that." Roslyn reminded folding her arms over her chest with a smirk.
"That's true."
"Hopefully someone other than you remembered what day it is though." Roslyn commented pulled her hair back in it's usual lose ponytail.
"Uncle Adam and mom did."
"Well then, I should probably get dressed and see what they have planned." Roslyn said with a smile.
"Can I come?" Slate asked excitedly.
"To whatever they have planned or to watch me get dressed?" Roslyn asked jokingly in a grossed out tone.
"Ew! I want to come to what they have planned." Slate said in the same tone
Roslyn chuckled. "Well, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to."
Slate whooped and hugged her. "Thank you!"
"You're welcome but it was really nothing." Roslyn said hugging him back. "It's what family's for."
"Still thank you." The excitable ten year old said.
"You're welcome." Roslyn said with a smile. "We should get inside though, knowing dad and Aunt Isabella they have something huge planned."
"Yeah, I know what do you think it is?" Slate asked.
Roslyn shook her head. "You know I don't like to think about what it might be. It's less fun that way."
"I know, but you know I'm a curious person."
"Then you think about it." Roslyn stated simply with a smirk before heading inside to get dressed.
"I can't be alone with my thoughts, you've heard them!" Slate yelled after her.
"You're not alone, Slate." Said a kind of creepy voice in Slate's ear. He didn't notice it but the tone sounded rather flirty.
Slate jumped and spun around behind him was Eve, Phineas and Katie's daughter. She was his age with cream colored skin, blue eyes, and bright blonde hair that fell to he shoulder blades.
"Oh, Eve it's you." Slate said a little pink in the face at her managing to sneak up on him.
"What? Are you not happy to see me?" Eve asked rockin on her heels slightly.
"No, I am I just don't know how you mangae to sneak up on me like that." Slate said
"It's not really that hard, you just need to know how to time it well." Eve said. "So, it's Lynie's birthday?" Almost none of the kids in the manner called her by her full name, they all had different nicknames for her.
"Yeah she turns 13 today." Slate said smiling.
"12 actually. One more year and she'll be a teenager." Eve corrected.
"Right, sorry I mis counted." Slate said blushing
Eve shruged, "It's ok, you're still one of the few people in the manor that even knew that it's her birthday."
"Of course I did, she always remembers mine, but not hers for some reason." Slate said.
"It's always been a difficult concept in the manor. Mom told me that once they even had to have a combinative birthday since so many had just been skipped over."
"Really? My parents never told me that." Slate said surprised
"Yeah, I'm surprised they never told you." Eve said starting to question if it ever really happened.
"I don't ask about that sort of stuff often." Slate shrugged.
"I don't either actually." Eve said simply. "Mom just likes to tell stories."
"Mom says she started doing that since she started dating your dad."
"The last she being your mom or my mom?" Eve asked. "They both had dated my dad at one point."
"Your mom. My mom does not like to talk about that often." Slate said
"Right, I can imagine she wouldn't, I heard that was a really rough break up. She locked herself in her room for a whole week." Eve said looking down.
"Yeah, did your mom ever tell you what Uncle Adam did after that?" Slate asked
"I know that whatever it is almost killed him but she never knew the whole story and I couldn't bring myself to ask dad." Eve said with a shrug.
"Mom told me what happened." Slate said.
"Care to share?" Eve asked curiously.
"To say it was bad would be an understatement." Slate said seriously. He explained the whole story to her.
"Wow, really I did not think Adam could do something like that." Eve said
"Well, he does have super stregnth." Slate reminded.
"Yeah, but still that's pretty bad." Eve said.
"Yeah, that's pretty much what mom was thinking when she watched it happen." Slate said looking down.
"Well at least dad ended up being okay." Eve said
"Yeah, otherwise you wouldn't exist and I'd be doen one of my best friends." Slate said unintentionally friend-zoning her but no one uses that term anymore.
"Oh yeah, I guess you would." Eve said blushing.
"Maybe you should get inside, you look a little red." Slate said being an oblivious ten year old boy.
"Oh, uh yeah it's just really hot out is all."
"Come on then, let's go inside." Slate said and the two of them headed back inside the manor.
"I could get you a drink if you want?" Slate asked.
Eve nodded. "Yes, please."
"Well come on we've got plenty of cranberry juice. I know it's your favorite."
They headed over to the nearest kitchen and Slate poured her a glass of cranberry juice. "Thank you Slate." She said in a dreamy sort of voice as she watched him pour himself a glass.
"You're welcome, Eve." Slate said not noticing the dreamy tone in her voice.
"So, what do you think they have planned for Lynie's birthday?" She asked.
"Well, I don't know what her dad and my mom have planned but with mom's help, I got her the BEST birthday present." Slate explained excitedly, he just knew his cousin would love it.
"You did? What did you get her?" Eve asked.
"Remember how Lynn always loved her parents time altering device but was never aloud to use it because she usually breaks stuff like that on accident?" Slate asked earning a nodded from Eve. "Well, now she'll have her own."
"You made one!" She asked excited.
"Well, mom certainly helped a lot but yes." Slate said rather proud of himself for it.
"That's amazing she'll love it! You're so smart." She sighed.
"You ok?" Slate asked noticing her sigh and falsely associating it with sadness. His mom's emotions come with an instruction manual but no one else's do.
"Yeah, just thinking." Eve said blushing.
"You're red again." Slate observed simply. "Are you sure you're not sick or something?"
"No, I'm not I just need to lay down." Eve said turning away from him.
"Well, if you're sure." Slate said hesitantly.
"So, I guess I'll see you at the event?" Eve asked carefully.
"See you at the event." Slate said awkwardly as he finished his own glass, Eve left the kitchen. "She is so weird." Slate said outloud.
"Some things never change." A male voice said from behind him.
Slate turned and found Adam standing there his hair still short and spiky. "You really need to stop doing that, Uncle Adam." Slate said simply.
"Why, you seem to do it all the time to others." Adam said opening the fridge.
"Not really, only with Lynn." Slate said simply.
"And your mother, and Felicity, and.."
"Okay, I get it. I do it a lot, but that does not mean you have too."
"To be fair, Feliss and I did it long before you were born." Adam reminded.
"Oh, so I get it from my uncle huh?" Slate asked.
"Well, you're mom actually did it to." Adam said now that he thought about it. "I have no idea how Roslyn avoided that trait." He said since his daughter actually never does that.
"Maybe she just doesn't?" Slate shrugged.
Adam shrugged. "I guess that just proves that she's her own person."
"She is, but she's fun!" Slate said.
"She's always been a fun girl, smart, too." Adam commented thinking about this day twelve years ago.
"Smarter than me?" Slate asked. He was no slouch
"Now adays it's about equal but definately when she was an infant compaired to when you were the same age. When she wasn't even a day old yet you could ask her any yes or no question and she'd nod or shake her head accordingly." Adam explained. "She would only do it when I was the only one looking, though."
"So, even back then she liked to mess with you." Slate said smiling.
"Everyone thought I was crazy because of it." Adam said looking down. "People who are suppose to be there for me: my wife, my sister, my mom, my best friend, everyone."
"She was a really good actress at such a young age." Slate said laughing.
"Yeah, I still don't understand her motive for doing so though and Roslyn doesn't remember."
"Maybe she thought it was funny."
"Maybe," Adam said. "It certeinly was annoying though."
"Maybe, she just wanted time with her dad?"
"I guess that makes sense. Wanna help your mother and I with her birthday surprise?" Adam offered kno"Yes! Please can I!?" He asked.
"Why would I asked if you couldn't Adam said grabbing his nefew's wrist nowing he'll know what that means. "Ready?"
"Ready!" Slate said bracing himself
Adam blurred them both into the forest surounding the manor.
"Your turning the whole forest into a hidden amusement park?
"Why do you seem surprised?" Adam asked with a smile. "Does that not seem like something we would do?"
"Well...Yeah" Slate said.
"Then lets get to work, shall we? Feliss!" He called up to his wife.
"I'm over by the water slides!"
Adam and Slate headed over to the water slides meeting her there.
"Really a wave pool and water slides?" Slate asked.
"Why not?" Felicity asked simply. "Roslyn loves water."
"I just can't believe you guys have done all this it's 10 in the morning."
"I will never understand how someone could underestimate his own mother, aunt, and uncle so much." Felicity said with a smirk.
"It's just impressive is all." Slate said staring open mouthed at the amusement park
"So, you should expect that from us." Adam said simply.
"I do, but never on this large a scale."
"Really?" Felicity asked before turning to her husband and wining. "Adam, we're losing our touch, then."
"No, we just have not done anything like this in a long time." Adam said
"Like I said, we're losing our touch then." Felicity repeated before turning to her nephew knowing him well enough, "I suppose you're here to help right?"
"Yeah! How can I help?" He asked.
"Could you finish this part for me?" Felicity asked climbing down as her still forever bare feet touched the ground. She knew he's smart enough to figure it out himself. "There's one more thing I have to do before it's ready."
"Yes, I can finish the waterslide. Give me ten minutes." Slate said
"I knew I could count on you." Felicity said ruffling up him hair before blurring off to where she needed to get the last part done.
"So, is there a giant cake too?" Slate asked.
"Of course." Adam answered simply. "Just like every year."
"Yes! What kind is it this year?" Slate asked.
Adam sighed. "Every year since you could talk you ask that question and you never get an answer till you try it. What makes you think this year will be any different.
"Nothing, but I have to ask it's for good luck."
"Yeah, don't want Roslyn to have an unlucky birthday." Adam said as Slate set to work.
Felicity and Isabella and well virtually everyone was icing the cake because it was basically like chesetopia, but with cake. "Why did we do this again?" Isabella asked.
"It's tradition." Felicity said simply while applying icing while trying not to blow it up. Adam tried to teach her but it was pretty much hopeless.
"No, I meant why German Chocolate this year?" Isabella asked
"Because I know my daughter." Was all Felicity had to say on that.
"Good reason." Isabella sighed.
"It's always a good thing to know your children." Felicity said thinking about her own mother. The one he tried SO hard not to be like. She was doing a fairly good job at it though.
"Of course if you don't your a horrible parent." Katie said
"Like my mom was before Adam took her to Mexico." Felicity said casually.
"Did he leave her in a town?"
Felicity thought back to that. "I'm pretty sure that's what he said."
"I just wondered you never told us." Katie shrugged.
"Oh, that's right. Sorry about that." Felicity said right before an awesome time skip to the party/event/park/whatever it is.
"Ready Roslyn?" Adam asked his blindfolded daughter.
"Yes Daddy." Roslyn said practically jitty with excitement. Her parents NEVER disappoint.
Adam took her blindfold off smiling.
Roslyn gasped looking around the park before huggin her father. "Thank you, daddy!"
"Hey what about us?" Everyone else said though smiling.
Roslyn let go of her father and turned to everyone. "Thank you everyone!"
"Your welcome, now go have fun." Felicity said.
"Where's anything have to do with water?" Roslyn asked in her Roslyness. She always wore a swimsuit under her clothes so she's always ready for a swim.
"The waterslide is over to the west." Adam said.
"Ok, thanks dad." She said giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before heading over there.
"She has you wrapped around her finger." Felicity chuckled.
"I told you this would happen." Adam said since he really did while she was pregnant with Roslyn.
"I know, but I never thought it would be this bad." Felicity said.
"I didn't really actually." Adam said honestly.
"However he did tell you so." Isabella said.
"Point taken." Felicity said with a sigh.
"Plus she has you wrapped around her finger too just not as much." Katie said.
Felicity knew she was right anout that. "We made too smart of a daughter." She said to her husband half-joking.
"No, just too cute and smart."
"You literally just said that she's not too smart she's just too smart." Felicity pointed out.
"She's our daughter, did you expect her to be easy to understand?"
"No but she's not suppose to be able to outsmart us." Felicity stated. "But I totally called that one."
"Well the girls a genius trust me." Adam said smiling.
"She has nothing else to be." Felicity said simply.
"She could have been crazy." Adam pointed out.
"But if she was crazy she'd still be a genius. Just like me." Felicity reminded.
"Yeah that's true." Adam said wrapping an arm around Felicity's shoulders.
About halfway though the party/event/fair/whatever it is, it was time for presents and caketopia so Felicity went over to the water slides to get her daughter but she wasn't there. In a panic, she blurred all across the park thrice but couldn't find her anywhere.
"Adam! I can't find Roslyn!" She said in a very panicked voice.
"Okay calm down have you look everywhere?"
"Three times, she no where to be found." Felicity said having obviously not calmed down at all.
"Okay everyone scatter search everywhere. Look for any trance of her find my daughter!" Adam said.
Everyone young and old scattered across the property in search of the head and second-in-command's daughter.
They looked everywhere and it was Isabella who came back with a note.
"Adam, she's...been kidnapped."
Adam ripped the note out of her hand so fast he almost actually ripped it as he frantically read over the note.
"Oh no it's her." Adam sighed angrily.
"Who her?" Isabella asked notably worried as she looked over the note in his hand failing to notice what Adam did.
"Kristina." Adam said simply.
Isabella went paper pale only knowing one Kristina. "Kristina? Felicity's mother? That Kristina?" She asked angrily.
"That would be the one." Adam muttered bitterly.
Isabella kicked a random rock so hard it almost wound up where Kristina was SUPPOSE to be. "I though we got rid of her years ago."
"Guess she fund her back." Adam said hitting a tree so hard it knocked two other tree's over as it fell.
Isabella took a deep breath. "Done? 'Cause you have a daughter to rescue and a mother-in-law to murder brutally."
"Yeah you go get Felicity. I think I know where to look tell her to meet me on the fifth floor." Adam said.
Isabella took the note from Adam and blurred off to Felicity.
"Felicity, I have news." Isabella said.
Felicity turned to Isabella still completely paniced and Isabella handed her the note.
"That, bitch! When I get my hands on her I'm going to choke her until her eyes pop out! Where's Adam?" She asked.
"The fifth floor, he told me to have you…" Isabella started but didn't finish because had already blurred off.
On the fifth floor she found Adam starring at what had been her mothers personal room for relaxation.
"I think she's in here. What better place to hide than right under our noses?" Adam asked.
However, before they could even touch the door. It suddenly flung open.
Inside the room that had not been touched since was there last was Kristina and tied to a chair behind her was Roslyn.
A huge smile crossed Roslyn's face from the otherside of the door. Kristina was unconscious on the floor behind her since she figured they'd want to kill her themselves. "Mom! Dad!" She said hugging them both. "You'll never guess what!"
"We appearently raised a small ninja?" Adam asked.
"Well, yeah but you'll never guess how I did it!" Roslyn said rocking back and forth on her heals.
"Well calm down and tell us." Felicity said
Roslyn's smile only widened she didn't care if she was just kidnapped, she couldn't be happier. "How about I just show you?" She said before suddenly 'appearing' across the hall.
"You have powers!?" Adam said shocked
"Appearently!" Roslyn sad excitedly. "Isn't that great! Just like you guys have!"
"Well that's great!" Adam said cuffing Kristina.
"You're not gonna kill her?" Roslyn asked in surprise. "I left her alive knowing that you guys would want to."
"Well, probably, yeah." Adam said.
"Oh, there's no question on that." Felicity said simply.
"Your mother gets the honors, unless she wants me too because I have an idea." Adam said.
"Killing my own mother? Of course, I'm up for that but it's no fun when she's unconscious." Felicity said with a smirk.
"Roslyn, I think you should go see aunty Isa and give us a minute." Adam said.
Roslyn kind of wanted to watch but she knew it would get VERY bloody. "Ok." She said before blurring off to her aunt.
"I'll get the knives." Adam said.
"But I sort of wanna do what I told Isa I would do." Felicity said looking at Kristina in thought.
"Should I leave you alone?" Adam asked.
"Your choice." Felicity said using that one pressure point to wake her up.
Kristina sat up right and the first thing she saw was her daughter look furious.
"I know that for whatever reason you just have some kind of weird thing against me but what kind of psychopath kidnaps their own GRANDDAUGHTER!" Felicity shouted far beyond furious.
"THE KIND THAT WANTS BACK WHAT YOU STOLE FROM HER!"
"I NEVER STOLE ANYTHING FROM YOU!" Felicity hissed though gritted teeth. "You didn't have a job or anything! Everything you had you had you sleazed out of my father! The money, the manor!" She paused for a second looking down. "Me."
"You were more effort than you were worth!"
"Like you put in any!" Felicity hissed lookin back up at her. "You barely even know my name much less my personality, what I like, what I'm afraid of, when I was on the table you probably never even noticed I was gone!"
"I noticed I didn't constenly have a headache."
"You know what happened to me on that table?!" Felicity hissed in a level off anger that shouldn't even be possible. "Straped stark naked to what's literally just a large steel table?! Being beaten, tortured, injected with pretty much everyone chemical on the planet and then some, raped! Even got pregnant once because of it but they killed the baby right after it was born… but you know what?! He would always come in and chat with me, made sure I stayed alive, not only kept me fed but made sure I had all the nutrients nessessary for a well balanced diet. So, all and all, I can't really complain because he treated me a HELL of a lot better than you ever did!"
Kristina was speechless which was how Adam liked it
Felicity grabbed onto her mother's neck with a cold-hearted glare. "Give me one reason I shouldn't squeeze and kill you right now. With the super strenth I could decapitate you as if crunching an empty soda can. Since you're an absolute idiot, that means cut your head off, of course, that would be the quicker and less painful option… maybe if you try reallly hard you could talk me into that one."
"F..Felicity please you wouldn't kill me right? Just take me to prison please I'm sorry for everything." She stammered out.
"It's about tweny-nine years too late for that, Kristina." Felicity hissed emphasising each syllable of her mother's name as she tighten her grip slightly but not enough to cause any real damage or prevent her from talking.
"Please, just tell what I can do! Please don't kill me!?" She begged starting to cry.
Felicity clenched her eyes shut. "We already gave you that option." She said sounded kind of weak as she made a fist causing her mother's head to fall onto the flood. "I picked the wrong day to wear my favorite shirt. Now there's blood all over it." She said as if she had not just committed matricide.
"Blood cleans out easy, you know that." Adam said.
"Thank goodness for that, but where do we despose of the decapitated bitch?" Felicity asked having not thought of that part.
"Oh, I'll take care of that you go change and enjoy the party." Adam said
"Well, ok." Felicity said giving her husband a kiss. "You promise you'll be back right afterwards though?"
"Promise, now go have some fun." Adam said.
"Ok, I'll see you soon." Felicity said before blurring down to the third floor.
Adam wrapped the body in the carpet and flung it over his went into the basement and threw it in the incinerator.
They had both made it back to the party at the same time.
"See, told you I would be here." Adam said.
"I knew you would, I was mostly just messing with you." Felicity said with a smile as if nothing had just happened.
"You thought it would take me forever." Adam said Roslyn appeared beside them.
"Is she dead?" Roslyn asked curiously.
"Yes, she is." Felicity said.
"Good." Roslyn said with a sigh of relief awkwardly rubbing the back of her head. This was not something she did often. "I can see why I never met her."
"Yeah, that's why she's a bitch or she was." Adam said
"She's still a bitch, just a dead one." Felicity said simply before noticing the way she was rubbing the back of her head. "Wait, did she actually hurt you?" She asked worriedly regreting choosing the quick way.
"Well, just a little whne she knocked me out." Roslyn said.
Adam moved her hand and hair to check for damage. "There's a bump but nothing major." He said angrily.
"Daddy, calm down, I'm alright."
Adam sighed. "We just worry, ok? Kristina was truely a horrible person, just like all the other people your mother and I have killed."
"She was that bad?"
"More than you could ever imagine." Felicity said looking down. "But you're lucky you were born in the generation you were, in our generation in this dimension you would have to assume that at the very least 1 out of 4 people are out to kill you and 86 percent of the people who aren't are nothing more than mindless robots."
"Isn't that an exaggeration?"
"I really wish I could say it was." Felicity said simply.
"I am lucky then, but I have you two." She said hugging them.
