    He thought - he was certain - that he'd been past this.

    Stupid.

    His fingers tangled in his hair, beginning to pull.

    Stupid, stupid, stupid.

    Summary

    The insurmountable sound of the roof caving in, the support beams failing, and the marble decorations shattering around him seemed to stop all at once. There was nothing but silence. Cold, abrupt, threatening silence.

    As quickly as it had begun, the disaster simply ceased.

    “Woah,” an unknown voice chimed, echoing through the rubble. A man smiled down at him, his expression bordering somewhere between surprised and amused. “You’ve caused quite a bit of chaos here, haven’t you?”

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, Grian,” Scar repeated. “Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?”

    For a moment, Scar thought he saw Grian’s gaze dip again, but with distance between them, and the glare from a lamp on the other man’s glasses, he couldn’t be entirely sure. It made his heart squeeze all the same.

    Grian straightened, huffing, “No.”

    Scar hesitated. “Are you sure?”

    “Positive,” Grian said. He leaned into the couch cushions, his countenance changing with the wave of a hand. His face relaxed, his legs crossed in front of him, and a wide smile split his lips. “You’ll pay for what you’ve done in due time.”

    After an April Fool's Day prank goes wrong, and his fake flirting attempts go south, Scar has to endure an entire day of Grian giving him a taste of his own medicine.

    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -
