Summary
Everything has changed. There's no denying multiple realms exist, or that there are dangers, or that Johnny Cage is stupidly into Sonya Blade—and by the kiss she gave him in the koliseum, it may just well be reciprocated.
There's a lot between them that she's not sure about yet, and it's time they had a...talk.

Summary
There are a lot of things struggling hockey hotshot Johnny Cage would prefer to do than show up to the team's Friends and Family freeskate night, but a desperate need for good PR gets him on the ice—where he watches his teammate Jackson Briggs drag a blonde out onto the ice. He—and his smart mouth—can't be blamed for what happens, can they?
Sonya Blade has any number of flaws, but one of them is that she can't say no to a challenge. Recovering from an injury, the one-time worlds champion figure skater would rather be anywhere than on the ice again, but she has to prove her friend wrong—and gets more than she bargained for, but strangely, just what she didn't know she needed.

Her plans are thrown into chaos with the arrival of the man in question who proceeds to throw her plans for the day and the weekend into question. With the aid of Sonya's spotter, sergeant, and friend Mikka, Cage arranges a dinner date that not even denial and a swimming race can get Sonya out of. The surprises don't stop there with both of them getting more than they bargained for.

Summary
Recovering from the flu, Sonya Blade is bored, lonely, and unwilling to admit to either. Her best-laid plans of a pity party are utterly foiled when Johnny Cage shows up at her door to play nurse. Despite her annoyance and assurance she'll be just fine on her own, it turns out sometimes that's the last thing she really needs… or wants.

Summary
“It’s going to make me look like a desperate, horny asshole,” Johnny said, crossing his arms over his chest. He scowled slightly, pulling at the lapels of his duty uniform, squinted at the dust on his boots—he’d have to clean them before the next inspection. More if he beat the hell out of his friends, which was a really tempting experience.
“You’re a single lieutenant in the US Army. Of course you’re a desperate horny asshole,” Comeau said with a snicker. Johnny raised up one finger in a universal salute that was met with laughter. “What do you have to lose, man?”

Summary
After Liu Kang defeats the One Being and sunders the realms once more, the consequences ripple out for the warriors who fought to survive.
In Between the Ridiculous and the Sublime, Sonya Blade has lessons to learn about life, love, and identity: it turns out sometimes pushing through the pain alone isn't the best way to recover. When she learns to accept help and how to bridge the two warring sides of her heart, she finds things might actually be easier with someone else to rely on.
In Legacies of Memory and Dust, the consequences of family play hard for Kitana and the twice-orphaned Liu Kang as they recruit two friends to help manage the royal wedding and the worry of a nascent resistance. Johnny, bored and desperately dodging conflict with his narcissistic father, is ready to plan parties and do whatever it takes to prove he can hack it in the OWIA as a diplomat. Especially if it means foiling a rebellion, bouncing between realms, and confronting his own emotional baggage around what makes a family.

Summary
Cassandra Cage was over the moon with the developments in her parents’ relationship. What began as a “we’re going to be amicable and work together” eventually turned into friendship, which grew into a second chance romance, and finally found its natural conclusion when Johnny Cage dropped to his knee with a new engagement ring.
Cassie immediately named herself the official party planner. She wanted her parents to have the day they deserved; It monopolized her every waking moment.
Which meant that it monopolized theirs, too.
So, a quiet night at the Cage/Blade residence quickly turned into another planning session, one which sent Cassandra on a quest.
“Well?” Cass looked between them. “We can’t have a re-wedding without a re-wedding song!”
=====
In which Cassandra Cage forces her parents to listen to wedding songs while they reflect on how much they admire and appreciate each other.

Summary
When Shao Kahn slaughters Jackson Briggs in front of a bloodthirsty crowd, the Earthrealm warriors lose more than just a teammate—they lose one of their strongest. Sonya Blade loses her best friend. And Johnny Cage? He loses the illusion that any of this is just a game.
Grief collides with fury as Sonya spirals into rage, and Johnny—actor, cynic, and self-proclaimed screw-up—finds himself the unlikely anchor in her storm.

Not Talking About It by TheNotebookWizard

17 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Sonya didn't want to talk about it.
Not being airlifted to the hospital (she didn't know which hospital or where it was. She hadn't asked. That would have meant talking about it.) Not how long she would be on medical leave. Not what kind of injuries she had. And certainly not what kind of injuries she had or how she might have gotten them.
And not about Johnny Cage being the one to take care of her during her recovery.

Summary
When contact is lost with a deep-sea submersible, Johnny Cage—high-stakes deep-ocean rescue diver and survivor of a classified dive gone wrong—is dragged back into the depths for a rescue mission he never wanted. But what he finds is worse than the nightmares: the wrecked sub, one teammate dead, and Sonya Blade clinging to life. He hasn't seen her in almost a decade after a brief, tumultuous relationship, but she's the one that got away...and it turns out she's been keeping some important secrets.
She's also not the only thing waiting for him in the deep.

Summary
Which had led to them going to the park. Which had now lead to something that had every soldier on base or close enough to get there fast enough trying to find a good vantage point to watch.
Standing in the middle of a baseball diamond of all things, Johnny Cage and Liu Kang were sparring.
Liu Kang comes to LA for the season finale premiere of Johnny Cage's new show. After all, it was partially his fault. And the two of them can't help but show off. On Sonya's military base.
