Which was building up to her relationship with Kya. Now, that that's out of the way, we'll be seeing more focus on other character acrs, Jesse should be up first, along with Damon, and a few of the Oc's. We'll be seeing more of Tanner, Miranda, and Yuri as we go through this section of the story. So, enjoy! Also, we might get more insight to Zack's past, along with Toni, and Kelsi's.
Also guys, feel free to leave a review, follow, favorite this story, all that if you liked what you saw here. If you dont, then no big deal, you dont have to, it would help though. But it's not a big deal, you feel me? Anyway, enough of that! Enjoy the chapter!
-Aftermath-
"So, now that we're a couple… is our training going to change?" Violet asked, she and Kya were sitting on Kya's couch. Violet was painting Kya's nails while leaning into her. Kya just hummed.
"I don't see why it would. If you mess up you could still die, I still wont tolerate failure." Kya answered her, Violet pouted as she continued to paint Kya's nails.
"But, you don't want to actually hurt me right?" Violet asked, in a sweet voice.
"I have before, and I probably will again." Kya told her honestly, Violet giggled a bit.
"Yeah, you're probably right. But still, I'm your girlfriend now, if I don't consent it's abuse." Violet teased her, Kya hummed, and pinched Violet's palm quickly, causing the blonde to squeak.
"I'm sure you can take a little pain." Kya said, Violet smiled.
"Oh, I can take some pain. Especially if it's in the bedroom." Violet teased the Guardian further, Kya shook her head.
"Violet, cut that out. Nothing is going to happen anytime soon, if at all."
"I noticed. It took four months after we kissed to actually become a couple… Could our relationship move a bit faster, I wanna see if you're all firm."
"You've seen enough." Kya told her, Violet pouted.
"Seen, not touched, or sucked on. Or caressed, or played with to my hearts content until I hear you scream my name in pure ecstasy." Violet kept going on, as Kya blushed slightly.
"Stop that, it's inappropriate." Kya said firmly, Violet just smiled.
"You're so cute when you blush." Violet said, with a smirk. Kya glared at the back of her head.
"I'm not blushing." Kya told her. Violet just giggled.
"Yeah you are. I know you too well." Violet said, Kya shook her head, annoyed that Violet did know her that well. Granted it wasn't too hard to tell Kya was blushing, considering what Violet was talking about. Kya just pinched Violet's palm once again, causing the blonde to once again squeak.
"Are you nearly done?" Kya asked, Violet shrugged.
"I could go a lot faster if someone would stop pinching me." Violet muttered, Kya just smiled at her, and moved her head forwards a bit, kissing Violet on the cheek, earning a flushed face from the blonde.
-Aftermath- San Fransokyo-
Yuri hummed, as he sat at the base of a large tree. He was in the middle of a park, watching people as they passed by. A girl walked up to him, she had black hair, with a few streaks of purple, and was chewing some gum. Dressed in a white t shirt, and jeans, he looked up at his friend.
"Tomago." Yuri greeted, she smirked at him slightly.
"Yuri. What are you doing here?" She asked him, sitting next to him, he shrugged.
"Enjoying the air mostly, watching people. How's the team?" Yuri asked, she shrugged.
"You know, still as unfocused as ever. We do good work though, don't know why you don't join us. I know Hiro has offered multiple times." Go-Go said, he shrugged.
"I'd rather work alone. Plus it might draw more attention to my mom, and she doesn't deserve that." Yuri told her, Go-Go nodded.
"I can see your point." She told him, he nodded, and checked his watch. He merely hummed before he stood up.
"I actually have to go see her now." Yuri said, Go-Go nodded, and got up as well, she dusted herself off, as Yuri opened a Corridor of Light.
"I'll be seeing you then." She told him, he nodded.
"I'll stop by Hiro's before I leave the world, so I might see you then." Yuri told her before he entered the Corridor of Light, it vanished moments after Go-Go let out a sigh.
"Later…" She muttered before she walked away from the tree. At the same time Yuri exited the Corridor of Light, and found himself inside the front room of his house, he looked around to see his mother looking up at him.
Rhyme Lux Akiro, long blonde hair, bright blue eyes, pale skin, and a gentle smile. She stood up to greet her son, he smiled at her, and moved into a hug.
"Hey mom, how've you been?" Yuri asked, Rhyme smiled at him. She had suffered an injury during her days hanging around Zack when they were younger. During a fight someone hurt her, and took her ability to speak.
"I'm great son. How have you been?" She signed with her hands, and of course thought. Yuri, being that he could hear her thoughts smiled at her, one of the few genuine smiles he had. Though behind it was still something missing, it was sincere, but nowhere nearly as sincere as it could be.
"I'm okay I guess. I've been traveling the worlds, just like you did after you met dad." Yuri told her, she smiled, and sat him down on the couch.
"I'm glad. We have a guest though." Rhyme thought, Yuri nodded.
"Who is it? I cant see anyone's thoughts but yours around here." Yuri said, as someone came out of the kitchen with two glasses of tea.
"That's because it's me." Tanner told him, Yuri looked at him as he placed the tea on the table next to Rhyme, then sat in a chair close to them.
"Why are you here?" Yuri asked him, he wasn't accusing him of anything, but his emotionless tone made it hard to tell. Tanner however had heard that same tone many times over the years, so he knew Yuri was simply curious.
"Just visiting an old friend." Tanner told him, Rhyme smiled at him, thanking him with a quick sign before taking a sip of tea. "Haven't had a chance to visit since she moved here… Nice place." Tanner said, Rhyme nodded.
"It's nice seeing someone from the old days. I wish Zack would visit more though." Rhyme signed, Tanner nodded.
"He's been busy. I'm sure it's on his to do list. I mean, it has to be, you were his first girlfriend." Tanner reminded her, causing Rhyme to blush slightly and roll her eyes at the memory. Back when Zack first came to their school, and she had asked if he wanted to date her. They only went out for a week before they decided to just be friends, Tanner remembered it like it was yesterday, he had introduced the two.
"You dated Zack mom?" Yuri asked, his curiosity slightly piqued, Rhyme nodded.
"Not very long. We quickly realized that we worked better as friends." Rhyme signed, Yuri nodded, Tanner smiled. Those memories were great, Zack was less serious back then, he hasn't changed too drastically, but it was still noticeable to those who knew him in high school.
"I miss the old days." Tanner mused, Rhyme smiled. A Corridor of Light opened up in the center of the room, and Miranda came through it. Once the portal closed behind her, she smiled broadly.
"I knew you were here!" Miranda exclaimed, Tanner rolled his eyes.
"I told you I was here." Tanner told her, Miranda looked at him, before winking covertly, she, and Tanner knew who were watching, but no one else did.
"Oh, yeah, I meant Yuri!" Miranda exclaimed, Yuri hummed, he couldn't see inside her mind either. Both she and Tanner were fully immune to him reading their thoughts. He assumed Tanner knew how to block him out, while Miranda didn't have much in there to read.
"It's impolite to just barge in." Tanner chastised his sister, who rolled her eyes, and turned to Rhyme, smiling at her old friend.
"Hey Rhyme! You've grown a lot!" Miranda exclaimed, Rhyme smiled at her, and motioned for her to sit down, which Miranda did, smiling at her old friend.
"Is there a reason you're here?" Tanner asked, Miranda shrugged.
"I wanted to hang out with my brother, and cute little Rhyme. Though she's not as little. Do you remember when she was sixteen, she was so small!" Miranda exclaimed, Tanner smiled at the memory, Rhyme blushed slightly.
-Aftermath- Zack's Junior Year of High School- Winniplex Academy-
Zack Domino Keire rubbed the back of his head as he looked at the school. It was his first day here. He looked to his left to see Kelsi giggling about something, and Toni whispering in her ear. He hummed, and looked around, before seeing Tanner, and Miranda walking towards him. Both looking to be his age.
"Hey! There's Domino!" Tanner exclaimed, Zack smirked at him.
"I would call you by your middle name, but I don't know it." Zack told him, Tanner smirked at him.
"It's Natoosh." Tanner told him, Miranda smiled.
"Mine's Natashae." Miranda chimed in, before seeing who else was here. "Wait… They're here too?" Miranda asked, Tanner glared at her.
"Stop that." Tanner told her. Miranda smirked.
"Okay, come follow me then. You guys stay here, and talk." Miranda said, as she walked away from Zack and Tanner. Miranda smiled as she recognized that they were in fact following her. Once she was out of earshot, she stopped and turned around.
"Hey guys, okay this might be a bit strange. You see, we're in a flashback right now. But I still remember you guys. Also you might have noticed that me and Tanner are still seventeen present day, and here. The reason for that is simply, magic guys. Fucking magic. You'll find out later, when we end up explaining it fully to Violet. Well, Tanner is going to." Miranda stopped, humming for a quick second.
"Anyway, I know it's strange. But, I like breaking the rules. I'm able to talk to you guys now because I've lived this before. But we should get back, I need to introduce Zack and Rhyme, and set things up for Zack and Fiona to nudge history, you know?" Miranda asked before walking off. She turned around. "Well, why don't you teleport over to them."
"So, where's Janice?" Toni asked, her arm around Kelsi's waist protectively holding her close. The blonde was happy being this close to her girlfriend, Zack and Tanner were talking, just as Fiona waked up to them.
"Could anyone tell me where the office is?" Fiona asked, Zack shrugged, he was about to reply before Miranda jumped on his back.
"We do! We can take you there!" Miranda yelled, Fiona jumped back, her hat falling off of her head. Zack pushed Miranda off of him, and picked Fiona's white hat up off the ground, smiling as he held it out to her.
"Nice hat, what's your name?" Zack asked, Fiona smile at him gratefully, as she placed the hat back on her head, and held out her hand.
"Fiona." Was all she gave, Zack smiled at her, and shook her hand.
"Zack." He replied. Miranda smiled knowingly, choosing this moment to interrupt.
"Okay, so we can take you to the office. I'm Miranda by the way." Miranda said, Fiona smiled. Miranda led Zack, and Fiona to the office, where Miranda knew Rhyme would be currently. Toni and Kelsi smiled as Tanner walked up to them.
"So, how are you two love birds?" Tanner asked, Toni smirked.
"Just peachy Tanner." Toni answered him, he smiled at them.
"How was your summer?" Kelsi asked, Tanner shrugged.
"You know, just hanging out with Miranda. She's only slightly annoying at this point." Tanner told them, Kelsi smiled, as Toni hummed.
"She's so fucking annoying though. I don't know how you live with her." Toni muttered, Tanner chuckled.
"Oh, it's certainly a true test of patience." Tanner told them, Kelsi smiled, and leaned a bit closer to Toni, causing the brunette to kiss her on the cheek, Kelsi giggled as he cheeks turned bright red.
"You're so sweet love." Kelsi said, Toni smiled at her.
"Only for you." Toni told her, Kelsi smiled. Tanner chuckled.
"I love your relationship with each other. Certainly my favorite to watch." Tanner told them, Toni smirked at him.
"I thought you got off on dudes?" Toni asked, Tanner nodded.
"Oh, I do. But seeing the pure chemistry between you two is something else. I hope more people can find happiness like you guys did." Tanner said, Kelsi nodded. Several moments later another person joined their group. Shane Harvey, one of the most popular people in the school, he had shaved sides, and hair styled up, with a cocky smirk usually on his face.
"Hey cutie." Shane said, smirking at Tanner, who just gave him a look.
"Hello Shane." Tanner said civilly. He and Shane had some… Complicated history with each other. A couple make out sessions at several parties. Shane liked to play the field, and didn't like serious relationships too much, Tanner wanted something deeper, and didn't just want to be another notch in Shane's belt.
"You miss me at all? Because I know I missed seeing you." Shane flirted with Tanner, whose cheeks turned red as he turned away from Shane. Not wanting to give him the satisfaction.
"Hey, if it isn't the man-whore." Toni remarked, Shane smirked at her.
"Hey, if it isn't Gertrude." Shane said, using Toni's middle name, causing her to quite literally growl at him, and let go of Kelsi, storming towards him, before Kelsi gently grabbed her arm to stop her.
"Toni, please don't." Kelsi asked, with big puppy dog eyes, Toni let out a sigh, and glared at Shane.
"I'll cave your pretty fucking face in if you say that name again, get it?" Toni asked, Shane held up his hands.
"Nothing to be ashamed of you know." He told her, she growled at him once again. "Fine. Wont happen again, Ton-Ton." Shane said, causing Toni to shake her head, as Kelsi gently led her away from Shane. The two never stopped fighting. Shane just smiled at Tanner, as Tanner continued to ignore him.
-Aftermath- Present Day- Virtuoso City-
"So, that was a good movie, very enjoyable!" Emily exclaimed, Jesse smiled at her.
"It was. I think this was a great way to spend Valentines Day, just hanging out with my best friend." Jesse said, as they walked down the street, on the way back to Emily's house. It was dark out right now. Emily smiled at him for a moment, before looking away, with a slight frown.
"Yeah, we are best friends, aren't we?" Emily asked, Jesse smiled, and nodded.
"Of course." Jesse told her, Emily smiled. She loved being best friends with Jesse. He was one of those special people who could use magic, and she was… Normal, and she was grateful for that, but it was hard living here when most people had some weapon, or magic that they used to fight with, while Emily was against fighting entirely.
"So, how's Violet?" Emily asked him, Jesse shrugged.
"She's good. Did I tell you that she kicked me and Damon out as soon as Kya got there. Man, that crush has gotten out of hand." Jesse said, Emily shrugged.
"I don't know, it seems mutual to me."
"Does it really?" Jesse asked, Emily nodded.
"I'm a woman, we can usually tell these things. Have you noticed how whenever we're out as a group, Kya seems to always find a way to stand next to Violet, or sit next to her. She never talks about it, and neither does Violet, but it's all very intentional. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually got together today."
"It is that kind of day." Jesse said, Emily nodded, slightly irritated. She wished he would just ask her out already, or kiss her, or something like that. She was getting tired of waiting on him to make a move.
"Yes Jesse it is." Emily muttered sarcastically, Jesse looked at her genuinely confused. Her entire demeanor just changed.
"What's up with you?"
"Nothing apparently." Emily told him, in a tone that told him she didn't want to talk about it. However, she desperately wanted Jesse to just grow a pair, and make a move already.
"Did I do something wrong?" Jesse asked seriously, Emily rolled her eyes, running a hand through her bright orange hair, before glaring at the street.
"You did nothing Jesse." Emily said, bitterly. Jesse just gave her a look. He had no clue what she was talking about, or what suddenly changed, but he didn't like it.
"No, something changed. You're all mad at me now." Jesse said, Emily shook her head, refusing to say more about it. She did hope Jesse just stopped them, swept her off her feet, and kissed her right there. But he didn't. He wouldn't, of course he wouldn't, he was too dense, and too respectful.
-Aftermath- Four Months Earlier- Hart Residence-
"I have to warn you, Violet can be… Abrasive." Jesse said, Emily nodded. Jesse knocked on the front door, waiting for a moment.
"So, do you like Violet?" Emily teased him, poking his side, Jesse shook his head.
"Of course not. She's not my type." Jesse said, Emily smirked at him. It was good to know, she still had a chance with him. Seconds later the door opened, a woman with short dark brown hair answered, glaring at the two.
"We don't want what you're selling. Fuck off." Toni told them, Kelsi poked her head out from around Toni, moving her out of the way.
"Love, we shouldn't speak like that to guests." Kelsi chastised her wife, Toni gave her a look.
"How the fuck are these two kids guests?"
"They're Violet's friends. Or at least Jesse is, who are you?" Kelsi asked, Emily smiled, and shook the blonde's hand.
"I'm Emily." Emily introduced herself, Kelsi smiled at them.
"Well, come in you two. Violet is in her room, I'll let her know you're here." Kelsi said, moving out of the way, grabbing Toni by the arm, and dragging her along with her. Emily, and Jesse stepped inside, Jesse closing the door behind them.
"This place is nice! You didn't tell me Violet was rich!" Emily exclaimed, looking at all the expensive furniture. Jesse hummed as he looked around, he had never actually been inside the house. A few seconds later, Violet came out of her room. The blonde was dressed in a t shirt, and jeans, she smiled at the two.
"So, this is Emily eh? Good to meet you, I'm Violet Alexandria Hart." Violet introduced herself, Jesse smiled at her, Violet just smirked at him, before looking to Emily.
"It's an honor to meet you Violet." Emily said, Violet nodded. Emily smiled at her, and extended her hand, Violet looked at it.
"Get that out of here, and let me hug you. Any friend of Jesse's is a friend of mine, plus you're a cutie." Violet said, Emily blushed and hugged Violet.
"Oh, thank you but I'm straight." Emily told her, Violet smiled, as the two separated.
"Oh, I know. Doesn't change how cute you are Emily, that is your name right? Jesse told me, but I've been through quite a lot recently." Violet said, Emily nodded.
"It is. We just came to say hi, we do have a movie to get to." Emily told the blonde. Violet smiled at her.
"Could I talk to you for a quick second?" Violet asked, Emily nodded, and walked towards Violet. Jesse gave her an accusatory look, but Violet ignored him, and led Emily to her room. Once the two were alone, Violet looked at the pale girl.
"Is something wrong?" Emily asked, noting Violet's serious expression.
"I know you like Jesse." Violet said, Emily widened her eyes, and covered Violet's mouth with her palm, shaking her head.
"Shh! No, no, no! How do you know that?" Emily asked, Violet shrugged.
"Hm hhrrlll wwss hhss…" Emily got confused, and took her hand off the blonde mouth. "A girl knows this." Violet pointed out, Emily let out a sigh.
"I thought I was being covert…"
"You were. But, you should know… Jesse likes you too." Violet told her, Emily looked at her.
"Wait, does he really?" Emily asked, Violet nodded.
"He told me himself. He also said he wont make a move because he's too respectful, and scared of ruining your friendship. Quite frankly I cant blame him. Last time I slept with my best friend, I ended up crying for a week." Violet told her, Emily hummed.
"So, why are you telling me this?" Emily asked, Violet bit her lip.
"I get that you like him, and he likes you. But be careful okay? Jesse is my friend, and if you hurt him… I cant say I'll be nice to you." Violet warned her seriously, Emily nodded.
"Don't worry, the last thing I want is to hurt Jesse." Emily told her, Violet smiled at her, nodding. Happy the two could reach an agreement.
-Aftermath-
Yes, it's ending there. I was kind of iffy about it, but I like it. Next chapter should be the beginning of Damon's arc, along with some more insight to the past four months. It should be fun, guys. I'm pretty excited for the rest of this story, and we havent even hit some of the big plot points I have planned. The biggest one so far has been Violet, and Kya's relationship, dont worry. There's so much more... An alarming amount. I dont know how long this will go on, but we're still relatively early in the plot, and already 19 chapters in. Though Chapter 1 isnt much. I'm probably going to update that soon, so be sure to check that out. I'll let you guys know. Well, see ya!
