The excruciating pain in Signal's head intensified, throbbing like a relentless hammer. The cause of his migraine was a fast-moving, chaotic display of static right in front of him. he was used to processing and interpreting data from various sources, including visuals beyond the human spectrum. But this was unlike anything he had encountered before.
The static-like phenomenon seemed to defy any logical explanation, its erratic patterns and blinding flashes evading his understanding. It was as if he was witnessing a bizarre fusion of dimensions, a collision of realities that defied the laws of physics.
Despite his extraordinary abilities, Signal found himself overwhelmed and disoriented. Whatever he was witnessing was beyond his current comprehension, and the frustration of not being able to make sense of it only exacerbated the pain in his head.
Desperate to alleviate the torment, he clutched his head tightly with both hands, as if trying to physically hold the chaos at bay. He averted his gaze, hoping to find relief from the overwhelming stimuli.
When he turned back the phenomenon was gone, whatever it was he hoped he never come across it again.

Her heart pounded in her chest as she witnessed the unthinkable - her partner was seemingly entranced, melting under the gaze of the spawn of a demon. It was inconceivable, as their primary objective was to keep a watchful eye on this dangerous individual, not be lured in by any form of seduction.
The boy's smile, once charming to her, now appeared sinister, like the smile of a devil. It made her cringe to think that she had fallen for it initially. But now, she saw through the facade, recognizing the true nature of this enigmatic individual.
The sound of a pencil snapping echoed through the room, drawing the attention of both Tim and Emiya. Their eyes met the fiery gaze of Stephanie, and they could sense the intensity of her anger. It was clear that she had reached her limit, and her patience had run thin.
Stephanie was not one to be trifled with, and both boys knew that they had inadvertently crossed a line. The air in the room seemed to crackle with tension as Stephanie's fury hung palpably in the air.
For Tim and Emiya, it was like being caught in the eye of a storm, where the winds of Stephanie's wrath threatened to consume them. They could sense that today, there would be consequences for their actions, and they would have to learn a valuable lesson.
It wasn't long before Stephanie managed to trace the source of her anger. Following her instincts, she swiftly caught up to Emiya, her emotions still simmering beneath the surface. As she approached him, a mix of frustration and concern fueling her actions, she placed a firm hand on his shoulder and slammed him against a nearby locker.
Emiya's eyes widened in surprise, taken aback by the sudden intensity of Stephanie's actions.
"Listen, Mr. Exotic," she began, her tone unwavering. "You better stay away from Tim, or you'll have me to answer to. I won't hesitate to show you why it's a bad idea to put your hands on him."
Her words were a warning, a declaration of her unwavering loyalty and protectiveness over her family. She wasn't just threatening him; she was making it clear that she would fiercely defend those she cared about, and that included Tim.
There was confusion written over her prey's face. Yet he still got the Idea, and with that he simply nodded.
"Good" this time Steph said it with a smile.
"Now take care" leaving with her last words for him she left a very confused Emiya behind.

The dimly lit room was filled with the faint glow of monitors, each displaying a different aspect of Gotham's criminal underworld. Jason Todd, the Red Hood, sat before one of the screens, his eyes fixed on the report detailing the heinous crimes committed by Kiritsugu Emiya. The name itself struck a chord within him, igniting a fire of anger and resentment that had been smoldering beneath the surface.
Jason clenched his jaw, his fingers tapping impatiently on the desk. Kiritsugu Emiya was a name he had heard before, a name that brought back memories of a time long past, a time when he was still Robin, and Bruce was his mentor. But that was a different life, a life that ended with pain and betrayal.
As he read through the report, the list of atrocities committed by Emiya seemed never-ending. Each line was a reminder of the darkness that lurked in the shadows of Gotham, a darkness that he himself had once embraced as the Red Hood. But now, he fought on the other side of the law, seeking justice for the innocent and vengeance for those who had been wronged.
In a twisted way, he could see a reflection of himself in the crimes attributed to Emiya. Both were men driven by pain and anger, seeking retribution in a city that seemed to revel in its own corruption. But there was one crucial difference - Jason had found his way back from the abyss, while Emiya had seemingly embraced it.
A bitter laugh escaped his lips as he thought about what he would do if Kiritsugu Emiya were still alive. A bullet to the head would be too merciful.
The dark thoughts consumed Jason as he continued to pore over the information about the young Emiya living in his city. The weight of the name Emiya seemed to press down on him like a curse, a reminder of the pain and suffering it had brought to his life. He clenched his fists, feeling the anger rise within him like a storm waiting to be unleashed.
With a deep breath, he forced himself to push the memories aside. He knew that dwelling on the past would do him no good. The focus now was on the present, on the potential threat that this new Emiya posed to Gotham. His instincts as the Red Hood told him that this boy had the potential to become a formidable adversary, and he couldn't afford to underestimate him.
He had dealt with many dangerous criminals in his time as the Red Hood, but there was something different about the Emiya name that sent chills down his spine. The idea that this young boy could follow in the footsteps of his predecessors.
In his mind, he saw the faces of all the innocent lives that had been lost at the hands of the Emiyas. He saw the chaos and destruction they had left in their wake, and he felt a deep sense of responsibility to protect Gotham from any future harm.
His thoughts drifted to Carmine Falcone, the man who was now the guardian of the young Emiya. Falcone was a dangerous and influential figure in Gotham's criminal underworld, and Jason knew that dealing with him would not be an easy task. But he also knew that he couldn't allow someone like Falcone to have control over a potential threat like the young Emiya.
The Red Hood's mission was clear - to protect Gotham from any and all threats, no matter the cost. And if that meant eliminating a potential danger, then so be it.
I wanted to give a supervillain name to Shirou, so from now he is Mr Exotic, though it will be just used as a joke, with his superpower being seducing anyone unintentionally. I don't think Kiritsugu's training was super hard, he never tortured Shirou to learn stuff unlike parents of a certain member of bat family, yes he did teach the trade to Shirou but it was mostly so that he could live independently and complete the job, while watching OUS, not once did I feel that he also want his son to follow some mission to be hero of justice and kept on refusing that they are not one. Majority of skills he acquired are from Archer, and for someone who is excellent in his mission, he also seemed very clumsy when it comes to actual human interaction. The pretence that he does is not intentional, Shirou doesn't even realise he is actually faking his personality in front of others and simply does it, because he in indifferent to majority of human life. At least that's how I perceived his OUS character to be, I could be wrong no doubt about it, so am I writing him from my perspective. Like he was a pretty emotional character in starting and even in Prisma Illya when it comes to his sister, so I don't think he will actively hide his emotions when it comes to her. It's just since Archer has been so good at putting up walls and faking everything about him. Using his Sarcasm as a crutch to hide his broken self, this is also something he absorbed from the card. Like the card gave him Archer's skill and physical memory.
Also thanks Server lock, you did give me some stuff to look into, I am using OUS Shirou because frankly I don't want any major fights. I know he is too powerful but what is the use of power when he doesn't even use it, I don't want to write a hero nor do I want to write a villain. I just want to write a simple character who wishes to go through his life, doing what he likes but still getting dragged around a bit.
