The Start Of Something New...

WHAT!?

HOW IN THE ACTUAL HELL DO 54 PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE MY WRITING?! IT’S MINDBOGGLING!!!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FOLLOWING!

The Beginning part 5

Come nightfall in the desert, Kaaru is loading her gun as she smokes a cigarette, a serape draped around her shoulders that she bought, the pattern and color much like her father's except brand new and untorn. Jesse snores next to her, still fast asleep. 

She's ready to kick him.

"Jesse, get your ass up." She says, flicking his nose.

He groans and turns over.

"I said, get up." She says, rolling him into the still hot sand.

He jumps up and pouts at her, rubbing the hot sand off his singed arm and face.

"We gotta move." She says, getting up and flicking her cigarette into the sand, starting to collect her bags.

“What for? The sand is still hot and when the sand’s hot, the snakes are out.” He says, shivering at the thought of the animal.

She thinks for a minute, looking over the desert. 

“My father once taught me somethin about that. He and I had awful fears of snakes when I was little so when he took me on a campin trip out inta the desert, he showed me a snake nest. At nightfall, they all were borrowin inta the sand to keep warm. No snakes bothered us at dusk or all night.” She says. “And they won’t here neither. Them snakes are borrowin in for the night. And if we do happen upon one, I’ll shoot it before you can say “tickle me silly till i’m blue in the face, the checkered flag is mine i’ll win this race”.” She smiles at him and he stares.

“Was that a NASCAR reference?” He asks in disbelief.

“Yeah? What of it?” She asks as they start to walk.

“Nothin’.” He says, looking away from her.

She chuckles.

~storytime~

Mccree looks at the girl in absolute disbelief. 

“I’m sorry, what?!” He asks as Hanzo tries to process the information he was just given.

“My birth, I have to write a report on it.” She says. “It’s for the lowlife of an ape that calls himself a scientist.” She adds, letting her anger for Winston seep into the conversation.

“Why do I get the feelin you don’t like him much?” Mccree asks. 

“Oh I don’t. He’s a selfish asshole who wanted to and did experiments on me as a child. But only during my lessons with him and after he had me kill-” She suddenly stopped, unable to physically say anymore. 

Hanzo looks at her, his attention perked at the last thing she said.

“Finish that sentence.” He says but she shakes her head, mouth shut tight. “I order you to tell us what you were saying!” He shouts.

“I can’t! It’s against the rules! If I do tell you then you’ll remember too much when I leave! Once I disappear, all you remember is my code name and that I once existed but everything else goes away! You won’t remember who I am or what I’m doing here! You won’t even remember the things I’ve already told you! And if I break the rules the entire timeline will be broken! I won’t exist.” She says and Mccree puts a hand on Hanzo’s knee.

“Darlin, we better listen to her.” He says, convinced she’s telling the truth. 

“Why are you believing a child? She has no proof of any of this!” Hanzo scowls at him. 

“You didn’t believe me when I proposed.” Mccree says with a bland and upset face. “Or Genji when he said he forgave you.” He adds, making Hanzo back down. 

“Fine. But I won’t believe her until she gives definitive proof.” He says and she shrugs.

“Would this count?” She asks, two purple dragons in her lap growling at the men, summoned from her adrenaline spike. 

She hushes them as they glare at Hanzo the most. 

“Shinpaishinaide. Kore wa kakodesu. Sore ga otōsandesu. Kare wa tada konran shite imasu.” She says in hushed Japanese to the dragons. (Don't worry. This is the past. That is Otōsan. He is just confused.) 

Hanzo is astonished.

“You have dragon spirits.” He says, shaking his head slightly.

“Yes. They appeared two months ago on my first mission.” She says.

“How are you born?” Mccree asks.

“I don’t know. You’ve never talked about it.” She shrugs.

~reality~

“She has dragons?” Jesse asks. 

Karru nods. 

“Yes. But that’s not even the best part.” She smirks. “But that’s enough for now. I’ll tell you more in a few hours.” She adds, putting her serape on him as he shivers. “Keep ahold ah that for me.” She smiles.

The Beginning part 7

Kaaru woke up at the buttcrack of dusk to Jesse poking her as he held a canteen out to her.

“W-Wha are ya doin up? We still got ah hour before night.” She groans, sitting up.

“Might as well get up now and get ready to move.” He shrugs.

She sighs and nods, getting up and taking a drink of water.

“So what happens next in the story?” He asks and she chuckles.

“Okay. You hear the last bit I said?” She asks and he nods. “Alrighty, let’s see…”

~storytime~

The girl hugs young Hanzo before having to push him off.

“Okay, a girl needs to breathe.” She chuckles lightly.

“Not when that disgusting riffraff is near. We must go now, my future child.” He says and presents Hanzo groans as young Mccree looks devastated.

“I’m his future kid too. And it ain’t like ya can just up and leave a hospital bed.” She says.

“What did you put in my drink you disgusting cowboy?!” Young Hanzo barks at young Mccree.

“Nothin’! I swear!” He cowers as the girl gets between them.

“Boys! I will personally castrate both of you if you don’t calm down.” She barks at them and they both cower away.

She sighs and rubs her temples.

“How did I end up babysitting?” She asks as the young and present versions of her parents start to talk, figuring out when and where the younger ones are from.

The sound of a guitar playing draws her attention to a supply closet.

She goes over slowly, a golden glow coming from under the door. She opens it slowly and pokes her head in, curious who was in there.

Inside was a man with long white hair tuning a guitar with two little glowing dragons and a small light bulb.

She gasps and hugs him tightly.

“Otōsan! What are you doing here?!” She says, smiling widely at the Hanzo she grew up with.

“Kaaru, my child.” He smiles and hugs her back. “I know I am not supposed to be here but I wanted to check up on how your mission was going.” He says, leaving the closet with a smile.

“Are you sure it’s not because you and Pa grounded me?” She asks as she’s leading him out.

“Yes my child. Quite positive it is not that.” He laughs as they leave.

Present Hanzo and Mccree soon found their past selves too annoying and cringey to handle so they went to their room and laid down, mentally exhausted already and it wasn’t even 8 am.

“Han, I’ve been thinkin.” Mccree says as he holds his tired archer in his arms.

“That’s dangerous.” Hanzo snickers, looking up at him attentively.

“And here I was, about ta say we should get Zenyatta ta marry us taday.” Mccree says with a pout.

“I wasn’t being serious, my silly cowboy.” Hanzo chuckles, pecking Mccree’s lips. “Though, I am not opposed to the idea of getting married today. But, should we?” He asks and Mccree looks at him.

“I say yes. I want ya ta be my husband taday. Predetermined future or not. I’ve been fightin ya on it for years. I want it to finally happen.” He says and Hanzo smiles.

“Alright Cowboy, we’ll get married today.” Hanzo says, kissing him softly.

~reality~

“That was mushy.” Jesse laughs and Kaaru nods.

“That my parents are.” She says, looking off into the distance.

“What?” Jesse asks.

“What?” Kaaru asks, covering her tracks.

Jesse shrugs it off and Kaaru smiles as they walk the night desert.

I updated my BwL au Gregory ref sheet

Bonnie putting baby Gregory to sleep?

Lullaby time~

Omg is his chest really that fluffy?!?!

Freddy might've broken Monty's snout with how fast he was moving sDK;erwfkjlre

BwL! keeps quiet as he walks with the others of the exploration, staying behind the others as his computer starts to categorize the others into different risk levels of being vulnerable, despite them being himself.

His Ma would be proud of him volunteering and not immediately hiding in the broken ship and breaking down. He still feels like running away but he's around other kids so he can't show his weakness and insecurities.

To keep calm, he holds onto a keychain he keeps in his pocket that his Ma made him. It's a mini Bonnie Bunny plush only about 3 inches tall that he can squeeze in his right hand and not twinge his scar to the point it gives him phantom pains of his missing finger.

He just hopes it's not too dark...

Meeting of the Gregs

Chapter 5

The sea breeze made the trees rustle as the group chatted, the waves lapping at the nearby sand making a relaxing backdrop to the hubbub as a lone seagull eyed the group, eager to swoop in if food was brought out.

RayB's question of what the first few people had found was what prompted Aftermath to finally reply, having been silent when Viva was here. The bags under his eyes enough to tell the others he had little sleep.

"Well, I'm pretty sure myself and slumber were here first." He said as D and T slapped each other to try see if they were dreaming, prompting a few Gregory's to move away from them. "....anyway, all I found out is this island is just super small. You can see the ocean on the other side just through those trees." He mentioned, pointing a thumb behind him.

Slumber piped up. "Yeah, I checked out foxy's ship. Or at least I think its foxy's. Its called Foxy's Booty." Slumber explained, pointing to the crooked nameplate above the door as a few of the Gregorys chuckled at the name. "It's got some cool stuff inside, like a hook and a pirate coat, so it might have some useful stuff inside, but myself and beacon didn't get much of a chance to explore before everyone else arrived." Slumber explained, glad to be able to take his mind off of things.

Rbay looked over the ship. It wasn't particularly big, but it was clear it had been here for a while, with several holes in the Hull. The door in the side looked like it had probably been used to haul cargo inside at a port. He sighed.

"OK... we should all eat and then try figure out if there's anything we can use around here. Aftermath, can you share your supplies?" The younger Gregory nodded, though he looked a bit apprehensive. "Once everyone has eaten, we should split into two groups. One group will explore the ship and look for anything useful. The other should take a walk along the beach and see if anything has washed up." He explained as cans of fizzy faz were quickly opened and drunk.

Nightmare had been silent till now but piped up. "Well... I got my flashlight. Wouldn't it be better if I helped explore the ship?" He asked, surprising Rbay. "That'd be good, we need to allocate who goes where by items and skills really."

D&T stopped whispering to each other to interrupt. "What about some of us setting up a camp?" Asked D, "If someone gets hurt, we need to know where we can heal up."

Rbay nodded, glancing up at the sky. The sun was pretty high, but having somewhere to rest was a good idea. "Alright. D, T, you two help in camp with..... Beacon and Puppet." Rbay continued.

HiWfi interrupted. "Hey, I'm all up for going on the explore team, but why are you taking charge? I can lead too you know." He asked with a frown. Rbay had been expecting this, he knew how quickly he'd gotten annoyed when he was their age. "Perfect. You feel like leading the exploration team?" He asked, as HiWfi looked happy for a moment, then tried to hide it. "I mean....sure, no sweat." He replied, his eyes glinting.

Aftermath raised his hand. "So.... slumber and beacon should probably keep checking the ship as they already explored a bit. I'd like to stay in the camp group as I'm in charge of the food I guess. Oh, and Uf! Would be best to be at camp with their communications watch." Aftermath said, stifling a yawn.

BwL! had tilted his head slightly as he pondered his options. "I'd like to volunteer for exploring. If we find anything heavy, I'm able to assist in bringing it back." They reasoned, which made Rbay nod.

"While I do agree with you about Slumber, Beacon and yourself Aftermath, Uf! Should be exploration so they can call for help if something goes wrong. Also, the ability to locate useful items is better for that." Rbay explained, causing the group to talk amongst themselves.

Chapter 14 is here! 

I’m going to be posting a chapter a day this week as celebration for finishing my college semester. 

The Beginning part 20

Kaaru had fallen asleep as Jesse began to ramble off all the things that machine malfunction could have done to him and Hanzo, the vibrations of him constantly talking a lot like the crib base, but more comforting.

He rambled off theory after theory for a good two hours before he actually noticed that she was asleep, making him smile and hum to her softly instead of talk, the gentle vibrations making her snuggle up.

“Sweet thing. So tiny and vulnerable.” He smiles before putting his metal hand on her gently, making her whine from the sudden cold of the metal. “Oh, sorry princess. Fergot about the cold metal.” He chuckles, taking the hand away before putting a tiny blanket on the nightstand over her to keep her from getting cold as he holds her.

He yawns and starts to drift off a bit, a smile on his face.

Hanzo eventually comes back and chuckles at the sight of his husband and daughter cuddling. He lays next to them and smiles, watching them slowly breathe and take on their own calming aura that filled the room and pulled Hanzo into a relaxing sleep with them.

~~~~~~~

It isn’t until early the next morning that Hanzo and Jesse are rudely awakened by the shrill of Kaaru awake and in need of a diaper change and food.

“Oh shit.” Jesse groans as Kaaru writhes on his chest.

Hanzo takes her and sits himself up.

“Dumpling. Why are you crying?” He whines, trying to rock her back to sleep. “Are you hungry?” He asks uselessly as he gets up to try and find a bottle in the mini fridge they have in the room. “Why do we have so much fucking beer?” He groans as he searches more, Jesse sitting himself up in the bed.

Hanzo eventually finds the bottle and tries to feed Kaaru but she pushes it away. He sighs and puts the bottle on the nightstand before sitting down next to Jesse.

“Maybe she needs a change.” Jesse grunts, rubbing his eyes.

Hanzo lulls his head to look at him, leaning on him as he holds the fussy baby in his arms.

“That would make sense.” He eventually says and gets up to change her. She fusses the whole way to the changing table. But once she gets a clean diaper she calms and coos at him. “That better my little dumpling?” Hanzo asks as he goes to sit down on the bed.

“What’s her name?” Jesse asks as Hanzo leans back onto him.

“Kaaru-Seishin Mizuki Shimada-Mccree.” Hanzo nuzzles, tired.

“Damn long name doncha think?” Jesse asks softly, kissing his head.

“I had to give her some form of name to represent your side of the family.” Hanzo chuckles a little before sighing. “She’s deaf.”
