hi I would like to say sorry for my long period of absence. I've been struggling a lot with my mental health and physical health over these past few months and finding no time to write anything anymore im going on a maybe year long hiatus as of now but I well come back I promise

hello this a fic that I made when I was really young and it a repost/rewrite of it I have no beta read so it only me

the state has balls and human form so they can go undercover as basic-looking human beings and go to places they also have names to go with the human form to not seem out of place. all humans can only see them as humans because how would you react if you saw a colorful thing walking down the Street. Everyone has a removable pin on a piece of clothing that shows the flag they represent.

this next idea comes from River364 on wattpad

Hazed: where the country is no longer aware or conscious of its actions due to a corrupt government taking control of the country It is noticeable when the country doesn't act or seem like themselves

Military mode: it is a mindset country fall in by being directly engaged in conflict against a threat or get overwhelmed by emotion and can be broken out of when the threat is nulled or the the country deems the situation safe

Fracturing: it is a phenomenon that countryhuman experiences when the thing they represent is going to fall/is falling apart. and the only to stop the fracturing is when the thing they represents country, Industries, government and etc stop falling apart

and these my og Ideas

ghosts: where the dead countries are no longer living but are present there are 2 types of ghost 

sprit: they are just there and are only able to watch and communicate with other ghosts or people with undead eyes

phantom: it is a phenomenon where a country become a ghost that is able to interact with other ghost and the world around them They are able to show themselves if they want to other countries but the ones that can see them at all time are the ones with undead eyes 

undead eye syndrome: it is a rare special occurrence that only a few individuals have that causes them to see the undead and are able to interact with them and can be passed down by their parents to children this can be treated with medication 

mediums: the ghost is able to possess a body to talk through them so they are speakers only if the living body agrees 

materializing: a country can materials a city, state, organization, and ect by casting a spell and a country can dis-materials them with or without the state's, city, and etc with or without there will but in the American instance they materialize without a spell and they cant dis-materials so he has to live with them

this for my fun in chapters may not be consistent and there may be some grammar's mistakes but and remember I'm a real person too I have a life outside of this I still go to school. and I may only work on the chapters during the weekend like on Sunday or Saturday. and I do use Google Translate to other languages besides English I'm not fluent in every language so sorry for the mistakes I blamed on Google Translate. I got a lot of inspiration from a lot of other fics like this I didn't know other books like this existed until I search it up. And there is some previous established relationship I only put some of the main relationship because the fic doesn't really revolve around it so it's not really a big deal but here are the ships because I cannot tag everything curse the tag limits on here :( and there already so many tags here so please read and if you guys see any mistake please tell me I have no beta reader

● Russia X america

● Germany x Poland

● UK x France
the UK to me is a fusion of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland and can separate

● Australia X Mexico

● Canada X Ukraine

● South Korea x japan

●ASEAN x UN x EU

● USSR x Third Ranch
it will rarely make an appearance but I will warn you

the first chapters will come out soon and more info will be add but for now see you pretties later

America P.O.V

I awoke to the beeping of my alarm 5:00 am I stretched my limbs beneath the warm blankets and blinked away the remnants of sleep. 

“break time is over now I guess” 

 With a tried sigh, yawning, and pushing the covers aside, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed gently not trying to wake up my dogs. my feet met the cool wooden floor as I stood up, sending a shiver up my spine I sipped on my sippers. walking over to reach for my robe hanging on the back of the bedroom door and wrapping it around myself, I opened the door letting the cold bathroom air hit me. I flicked on the light, walked to the shower got the shower ready slipped out of my robe and my boxer got into the shower getting the water through my long hair.

“I need to get a haircut soon”  

washing the rest of my body and drying off wiping off the fog from the mirror and my glasses drying my hair and putting it into a loose ponytail .

“I definitely need a haircut” I put on my glasses and walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist with my dog now awake I push them outside for a bit so I can change I walked to the closet and dresser picking out what to wear. Thinking about what should I wear “What should I wear I mean I do have a lot of work for today so baggy camouflage pants and a black long sleeve top it is then” I got them out of the dresser “Its kinda cold today” taking out my sage green hoodie with picking up my sunglasses and phone putting them into my pocket and putting on my socks before walking out of my room into the still empty hallway I walked by the grandfather clock 5:25 “just on time”.

 Walking down the flight stairs with the dogs right behind me to the bottom floor walk to the kitchen and see New York awake on the couch again. I stared at him before asking him why he was up I needed to get him better-sleeping pills.

 “Honey were you awake all night again” standing in the doorway 

He looked at me with tired eyes wrapped in his blanket with his baggy jeans and his navy blue hoodie with the New York City sky line watching illegally blonde 2 

“ya Dad” he spoke in a tried tone 

 “Did you forget to get your pills or do you need stronger ones this time” 

“I forgot to take them,” he said and a slightly embarrassed tone, sloping his face down 

“Hey do you want to help me make breakfast since you are getting any sleep now” I asked 

“Sure” he answered turning off the tv before getting up and stretching and walking over 

“It's always nice to have help around now come on” as we walked to the kitchen put on our aprons  

“so how about pancakes with bacon and eggs how does that sound son”

“Yup that sound good” as he was tying up his aropn 

I grabbed the bags of pancake mix from the cupboards I had New York to walk into the walk in freezer to get the eggs and 30 pounds of bacon and to set up the table in the dining room. I got all the bacon and made sure the dogs didn’t try and steal anything cooked the eggs into different styles and different pancakes from chocolate chip to plain. I got New York to pick some fresh fruits from the greenhouse and so I can cut them up so everyone can put their own personal topping an to take the dogs out with him

“Hey can you wake up everyone and to tell them we have pancakes for breakfast it's already 7:30” 

“Yeah sure Dad” ginned a mischievous as he went upstairs grabbing a megaphone and the speaker from the staircase closet I fed the dogs and cats and waited till everyone got down it wasn't much time until I heard yelling and the clatter of feet going down the stairs.

New York pov

I went upstairs with the speaker and megaphone 2nd floor thank god we lived mostly on the 2nd and 3rd floors because the the elevator is broken I cleared my throat " EVERYONE GET THE FUCK UP I DONT GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOUR TIMEZONE IS GET UP"

I smile as I heard collective groaning from each room I saw D.C walk out of his room still in his pj

 “hey D.C how you sleep“ he sleepy walked over rubbing his eyes

“could be better” still rubbing his eyes 

“oh by the way we are have pancakes" he immediately perked up “shit really” he immediately rush downstairs trying to get a good sit I smiled. I took another deep breath before yelling.

 “WHERE HAVING PANCAKES" I saw Texas and Arizona bust their room door open. They are still in there pajamas but they saw each other in the hallway.

Texas yelled at Arizona “RACE YOU THERE” before getting a Headstart

Arizona looked at him with a smile “oh NO you don't”

I rush down with them because a lot of the other states we're running down stairs to get the best spot and on the table trying to get a good spot. I manage to be seated by the window with father by me.

America POV

all the state came running down the stairs they all sat down I serve everyone their food. I grabbed the to-do list today from the fridge before sitting down. 

“Ok kids listen up”

They became quiet and looked and listened at me 

“This is what we’re gonna do today” I stand up before I repeat it the list

I looked down at my watch It was 8:00 a.m. “OK is everyone ready to go” I grabbed my keys and wallet from the table near the front door we needed to leave by 8:10 The nearest town was over 1 hour and 30 minutes away and we had to pick up the medicine by 9:20 am and we had to pick up a lot of stuff and D.C, West Virginia and Wisconsin were already sitting on the couch and we were waiting for Tennessee I hear them yelling from the second floor hopping down “YUP ready” I was smiling. 

“FINALLY we've been waiting forever now can we go now,” West Virginia said getting off the couch and walking to the door I smiled. 

“OK everyone in the truck” I opened the door for them before I said my goodbyes to everyone else “BYE LOVE YOU GUYS WE WILL BE BACK BY 3:30 OR SO OK” I heard a few Love you too and byes before closing the door and putting on my sunglasses when walking to the white truck. D.C was in the front and everyone else in the back with Tennessee in the middle Wisconsin on the right and West Virginia on the left I hopped in making sure I had everything “ok everyone got their seat belts on” looking in at the back “yeah we are good” Wisconsin said already looking outside of the window with west Virginia on there phone and Tennessee listening to music “wait almost forgot” as I was reaching into my hood pocket “here your brooches” giving their broaches with their flag “put them on somewhere hidden ok” making sure they put them somewhere where it was somewhere un-noticeable.

 “Yup, we are good Dad” as they got comfortable again making sure I had mine on “ok good let's go” On the way there I made small talk with D.C to see how they were doing and how the documents were going. We made it to town at 9 stopping by the Pharmacy I parked in the CVS parking lot. Got out of the truck making sure everyone was off, when we entered the CVS before I released them to explore “OK you guys can get 2 things but only 2 OK”. They went to the aisles dragging D.C. with them I walked over to the Pharmacy Counter. 

 Ringing the bell on the counter “Hello hi am here to pick up” waving at the lady walking over 

“Hello sir what can I do for you today” fixing my glasses

“I need to pick up my kids and my ‘schizophrenia’ medication” reaching for a pen in my pocket knowing this routine so many times “Yup just sign here” reaching for the needed paperwork for me to sign and filling them out. She went looking for the medication and came back with a few bags “Am sorry to inform you but we do not have your needed medication sir” I froze before being able to speak. 

“Wait, what do you mean?!?” trying to stay calm and not freak out 

“Yup we won't be getting you medication for about a week am sorry sir” I just sighed “Well thank you anyways” I paid and start walking to find the States fuck Im out of pills too damn it they only last 24 hours and I took the one last night please I do not want to see them and I have a meeting to go to on Tuesday, FUCK FUCK FUCK I need to put on my special glasses but I'm going to hear them still, just my luck me and my stupid ghost eyes ugh. At least they don’t have to, they don’t have to go through that again.

  I turned the corner of the second-to-last aisle to find them picking out snacks and drinks “You guys ready to check out” I walked over to them “Yup” Wisconsin nodded I picked out a drink real quick from the freezer Arizona Sweet Tea sounds good right now, picking out some lays potato chips. “Ok let's go” We exit the building, jump back in the truck and head to Costco and the grocery stores to pick up some supplies. I wonder how the States are doing back home, hopefully, better than me right now. I only go out of home the times I am out of home to run errands, meetings, doctor appointments, and supplies runs. I only run supplies if I can't make or grow the things at home like garbage bags, clothing, fruits or vegetables that are out of season, sanitation products, etc,… 

It’s now safe to be out so offended especially when there are people that try and will kill you out there and when you have kids it’s just not smart unlike what the other countries think. It is better to keep up the act of being the dumb worry free ignorant country that everybody knows about it just better. I mean so many countries view me as a threat against them I mean, if I acted more seriously and more the opposite of what I act they see me as even more of a threat. We people see an unserious person; they don’t see them as something to be scared of. Anyway, we finished the rest of the errands that we needed to do and we needed to head home. I had to make lunch ready. It was a long day for them. I wondered if the rest of the state finished the chores that they needed to do for the day. 

Florida pov

8:30 a.m.  I was walking out of the house with 6 buckets full of meat of all kinds I was using one of the training staff I got from the shed to carry them with 3 on both sides. The staff lay on my shoulders on the back of my neck holding it there making sure it didn’t fall off and spill. It was a bit of a walk to the enclosure. The backyard was huge. We owned multiple acres of land about 190 acres and about 80 of it was field, another 50 was free space for the barn animals and horses to roam around 3 acres of swamp was for the crocodiles and alligators and another 5 acres of free space for us and the rest was forest. The enclosure was near the end of the property past the barn and through the fields on my way to the barn I saw California, Texas, and Arizona riding on the horses chasing down a few animals that escaped. I saw New York flying over with a case of water for everyone making a few trips to bring more water for everyone.

 All the states have an animal attribute about us like wings or tails I far as I know countries also do have animal-like features but we usually have one feature of one animal. It is usually a national animal or popular animal and we get the ability or feature of the animal but I and a few others have a rare type of ability where we have a few animal features I have the tail of an iguana that comes with claws and I can climb walls easily but I can interchange it between the tail of an alligator and crocodile the alligator come with better swimming and crocodile has better jaw strength. But there are those with no animal ability but to get power I think I heard the old man talk about a country named New Zealand with the ability to use telekinesis and in rare cases they can have a few powers. But with the old man, he has a really rare case where he has an animal ability eagle wings but also powers. He has a total of 4 powers one is called “all seeing stars” he has a few flying around him at all times and blend in with his hair hiding in there he can use it to spy on anyone at all times and hear them to but he rarely ever use them for that unless they are needed as far as I know they do not have a limit on how far they can go and another one called ”copycat” where he can copy anyone abilities for a certain amount of time and he uses that to help us train “The Beast caller” he can call any animal that he has tamed or owned and the last one is called “the house speaker” were he can amplify his voice it is the only ability that counties know Dad can use but doesn't show it off not after his incident it hurts him to use it.

 I was at the barn “HEY OHIO” I yelled as he was tending to the chickens and the chinks when he turned he was covered in feathers “Yes Florida” as he came walking over dusting himself off 

“Can I have 4 live chickens please” put down the buckets  

“Yep sure you want the big chunky ones there” point out some of the chickens “They stopped laying eggs a few months ago, and are eating most of the food” 

I slimed “Yup they are perfect can you put them in an empty sack, please?” he slimed as he grabbed the sack picking them up they tried to run as he was putting them in there 

”Here you go” Giving me the bag I grabbed it from his hand 

“Thanks, bro” tying up the bag to the middle of the staff before picking it up again.

“Yup no problem man” he said before tending to the chickens 

I continue to walk past the field waving at everyone working and getting everything really for the cold season soon. I finally reached the enclosures I put the buckets down taking the 2 chickens out as I opened the pen to the alligators taking a bucket with me. “HELLO BELLA AND ROBBIE” I yelled as they swam up to me wagging their tail “How are you guys doing, who are good alligators”

 still wagging their tail now on land doing small jumps “YOU GUYS ARE YES YOU ARE” throwing them some meat into the water and watching them chase after. I threw the chickens in before leaving to feed the rest of the animals I grabbed another chicken from the bag as I entered the crocodile enclosure saying hi Morris he is an old man he is almost 30 I threw him his bucket of meat before letting go of the chicken. I have raised them since they were young mothers who were killed by poachers and they were the only ones left.  And if anything bad happens to them I kill them and feed them to them. I left the enclosures and walked over to the forest I whistled grabbing the last chicken from the bag. Heard a weak-sounding call with a series of high-pitched whistling with piping notes. Before a big bald eagle landed right in front of me. “HI Chicken how are you” Chicken was Dad's pet that patrolled around the property he was over 6 feet tall in the past a few people tried to break into the house but they were dealt with quickly. I fed Chicken by giving the bucket filled with meat to him and the last one biggest one before he flew off to a tree to finish his meal. I made a different whistle sound this time calling for the others, 2 bears came out this time a black bear and a brown bear
 

“brownie and coal why aren't you guys adorable” Brownie the brown bear was covered in flowers from head to paws and Coal was covered in jams from who knew where.  They were smart bears they also patrolled the property from the ground they are able to fight in hand-to-hand combat and the old man went hand-to-hand with them from times he was the one who trained them AND GOD DMAN they were good too. Coal was 7 feet tall standing on his hind legs and Brownie was 9 feet standing on his hind legs too so they towered over me a good few feet. They took their bucket from me before heading back to the forest they brought them back over to the house by the back door when they finished their meals they were a strange couple of bears. I picked everything up before heading back home everyone should be getting done with everything for now It was 2:30 pm Dad was on his way back home by now and everyone should be finished with their work I was tired. I finally managed to get back home taking off my shoes and walking I'm going to go take a nap somewhere I don't give a shit where I want to go take a nap somewhere.

I checked my watch It was 3:00 the traffic was not as bad as I expected so I got here a little bit earlier. I pulled into the driveway waking up the kids to help me with the bags. I grabbed a couple of bags before walking up to the doorway and unlocking the door I walked out to the hallway put the bags in the dining area and walked out to the living room to see if anyone could help. I looked around OH FUCK FLORIDA why is he there of all places I need to get him down.

“FLORIDA WHY ARE YOU UP THERE” he was on the chandelier taking a nap “OH hey old man” he responded waving just waking up.

“DONT ‘hey old man’ me” he laughed awkwardly before retreating more into the chandelier “Why are you there” I waited to get a response “Well I felt sleepy and you know I'm not the brightest thinker when I get sleep” I sighed 

“Can you get down,” I asked pitching my nose “Haha no” What I'm going to do with these kids now. “Hang on let me get you down” I took a deep breath taking off my jacket and sweater I didn't need them to get ruined I backed away “This going to hurt later” jumping letting my wings free and flying over to Florida. It had been a while since I last used them I rarely ever used them since one of them is slightly crooked and hard to fly with.  “OK jump in my arms” I reached my arms out as he jumped from the chandelier shaking as it swayed from side to side he held on to me with great force before I landed safely on the ground he jumped out of my arms “Thanks old man” as he slimed “ did you finished your chores” I question before hiding my wings again and putting back my clothes “of course, who you think I'm am” 

“OK good” as I fixed myself, “I need to check on the groceries”  I turned and made my way out of the door looking back at the others with Hawaii and Alaska already helping bring them in “HEY IS THAT THE LAST OF THEM” I shouted from the doorway with their arms filled with bags “YUP” Hawaii responded as starts walking inside with the rest and setting them in the dining room, I turned my way back to Florida, “think I should get started on lunch and you will help me”  he sighed before getting ready, “I think sandwiches are going to be good for lunch” 

“Florida honey can you get everything please we're going to need at least 4 bread loafs” he went into the story area and grabbed the ingredients. Then we started working making the sandwiches in the ways of each state like them being told everyone for lunch and had a run down for the day everyone was done with everything.

“Ok great job everyone for today but you guys have homework too” they groaned “I'm sorry but prefer not to have uneducated children,” I said finishing the rest of my sandwich before taking my plate to the sink “dont worry I will do the dishes you guys rest for now ok” as they dropped their plates over in the sink I let go a tired sigh. One of the cats moewed at my feet they were hungry I grabbed dry food and placed it in their bowls and I fed the dogs their respective food before heading back to the dishes “Ok let's do this”. 

~Time skip 1 hour ~

it was now 5:48 I should get dinner ready soon maybe in an hour, maybe I should watch that show that I had been meaning to watch what was it called again Good Omens was it yeah I think it was. I dried myself off before going to the living room where Wisconsin and Wyoming were sitting playing something on their Nintendo. I laid down on the end of the sofa turned on the TV and before I knew it, I had already finished one episode those episodes are really long I got up and checked my phone it was already 6:30 Wisconsin and Wyoming we're still there “Hey how about you guy help me cook” they nodded getting up to cook with me I think today should be just some simple potato soup. walked over to the kitchen and put on our aprons OK, I'm going to need to get to 2 pots out for the states that don't eat meat and so there are leftovers for tomorrow for breakfast ok.  

“OK Wisconsin and Wyoming we are going to make a nice creamy potato soup so I'm going to need, 40 russet potatoes, 3 bags of bacon, a bag of carrots, celery sticks, 6 onions, milk, heavy cream, all-purpose flour, vegetable broth, chicken broth, parsley, cheese, salt, and pepper you got that,” said while getting the need tools and measurements for the ingredients 

“HUH??? I barely got even the first five ” Wyoming as he looked at me puzzled while putting on his apron Wisconsin perked up “Only hear cheese”

I laughed “ok ok I will write it down so you can understand it better” I graded a pack of sticky notes and a pen from the fridge and wrote it down for him handing it over before he went to the storage and fridge looking for the needed thing. in the meanwhile, I got everything in order and the heating up the pot for cooking Wisconsin and Wyoming finally came back for some of the ingredients we started to cook bacon, peel, and cut the potatoes and before I knew it, it was done by 7:20 we started to clean up dishes and utensils that were used set up the table with bowels and spoons I had Wisconsin and Wyoming call the states for dinner. everyone got downstairs we got the pots on the carts and we served them their respective soup. putting the extra toppings in the center of the table for the states could add more bacon more cheese or whatever they like in their soup more of. a few of them prefer more cheese less cheese more bacon whatever it feels better to have cheese and all that stuff in the center of the table so they can add themselves. I finally took my seat we chatted and laughed about some stuff we were having a great time I looked across the table a smile I was happy to see all the states getting along and being happy with each other. a lot of us will never forget what happened back then I will never forget what happened back then when we were separated and no longer a united family. 

I would prefer we stay United and stay together I wish these moments will forever last because it is not often when they are calm and content me and each other. we became separated all because of that demon I don't think I will ever be able to forgive them for what they did and what they will do when I see them again after this medicine wears off. we finished our dinner I asked New York, Alaska, California, Wyoming, and DC to stay back to help me and to take their medication. we managed to clean up all the dishes wash and dry them so we could put them away. it was already 8:30 it was time for them to take my medicine I wish I had my medication by now it was already wearing off I could feel the effects. “Ok it time to take you’re guys medication” I handed them their bottles of pills “Make sure you guys take them before going to bed ok” They agreed already knowing the procedure on what to do and how many they have to take “ok good” they went back up stairs and repeated to their rooms. It was just me the dogs and cats on the bottom floor.

I am so lonely I mean am not that lonely I have my kids and pets but I rarely meet up with friends or family and I only ever called them or text them. I mean when did they last to see me it's been over 9 months and my hair grow very quickly it already reaches my upper thigh, I Wonder how they would react when they see me with long ass hair I have never let my hair reach this far down ever let it pass my shoulders. but I have just been so busy these past months that I haven't had time to cut it professionally I just have to see how they would react. only my family has ever seen me with long hair but that's only rarely the last time they saw me with long hair was when I was in the Great Depression. what a terrible time that was, but for now I am just going to cuddle with the dogs and cats and ignore my problem for now and that's okay, and not worry about anything I think I might even take a nap with them. I lay down on the couch with one of the cats lying on me and the dogs lying by my side I turned on the TV as I rested my eyes my back hurts tough.

“Helloo” a voice echoed through my head with a condescending tone I know that voice way too well I hadn't heard it in years. 

“I know you can hear me now” I try to ignore that voice the voice that causes me and my states so much pain and that causing so much trouble for the people. We are trying to fix all the damages caused by him and take away the rights of so many people in this country he is something we will never forget.

“ANSWER ASSHOLE” it yelled in my ear it hurts it hurts so much 

“You know you can never get rid of me united” I keep my eyes closed trying not to be fazed by this

“YOU CAN’T KEEP ME DOWN HERE FOREVER” Banging started and the lights flickered 

 I got up I couldn't do this anymore I had work to do for the meeting tomorrow I was almost finished with the document about reducing carbon emissions by 5% in the next year or so. Need to get that finished I placed on my slippers turned off the lights and walked up to my office I opened my office door I let the cold air hit me. I turned on my office lap my desk was filled with papers and copies of documents of all types boxes and cabinets filled with paper. I sat down at my desk took off my glasses and put on my reading glasses I checked my phone it was 10:30 I was about to put it away till I heard a buzz I checked my phone again it was a text from Canada

I need to rest now I can’t be late for my flight I need to be on time and I need to wake up D.C so they can come with me. I made it to the bedroom.

I woke up to the beeping of my alarm in the morning it was 4:30 a.m. I needed to get everything ready for the morning meeting and to get myself I needed to get ready and get to the airport by 6:20. I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to get myself clean and ready. once I got out of the bathroom I quickly changed into my suit and tie. trying to get this bird nest of hair done I slicked back and then did two small side braids with my side hair then tying them up in the back together. I made sure had my nice shoes on for the meeting before walking to get DC from his room I knocked at his door and I heard him say come in. I opened the door his room was nice and clean only leaving his desk in disarray and such. He had his suitcases packed for the 3-day trip he was putting on his tie in front of the mirror, and his hair was also slick back into a neat professional look. He finished his tie grabbed his jacket placed it on and finished the look of sunglasses and his pin with his flag on it, on his chest on his heart before walking over to me. When we got downstairs I wrote a note and placed it on the fridge telling them there were leftovers in the fridge and to call me if they needed anything in an emergency. I placed the note on the fridge before making sure I had anything pin, laptop case, laptop, papers, house keys, and gun. Cant be caught lacking out there especially when you have kids, always have to stay strapped no matter what, and especially if there are countries that hate your guts and will try to kill you. We hopped into the car and made sure that our human disguises were on properly before pulling out.

Time skip 

 One day and they arrived to the meeting place because I don't fell like writing that much

We just finished getting ready and we were leaving the hotel leaving to the genal assembly I had my hair in the same way I did the day we left I kinda like the look, we rented a car and when we got to the parking lot we had 40 minutes to spare I entered the building with D.C. right behind me.

“Hey DC give me a rundown on the meeting” he fixed his glasses before speaking 

“apparently the E.U, U.N., and ASEAN were going to be there the meeting was important to do about what about moving forward in this floating rock in the endless space.”

“Ok good I see you did your research” I patted him on the head before we entered the elevator and went to the 6-story where the meeting was going to take place. when we exited the elevator into the lobby area of the floor I saw my brothers there waiting in the lobby Australia, Canada, and New Zealand in their suits they were sitting in chairs talking with each other and their human disguises. I could tell it was them New Zealand had fluffy hair that nearly covered his eyes in his human form he had light brown hair with honey-like skin with light yellow eyes. Canada he had Brown hair he kept to his shoulder and never past that with creme-colored skin with blue eyes. Australia had dark brown hair that he kept short never past 3 inches with dolce skin with dark brown eyes. I signal to them they seem surprised to see me and my appearance New Zealand runs over with an amazed look but with slight worry. 

“OMG AME” he jumped onto me hugging me, the rest of my brothers got up to greet me. New Zealand finally got off me. 

“Hey how are you guys doing” I spoke with my iconic smile hugging my brothers “We are doing good mate” Australia spoke up “ame what's up with your hair it's so long” Canada spoke to me picking at my hair

“Oh yeah that,” I said fixing up my clothes and giving a smile “These past months I couldn't get it cut due to me being busy” I spoke with that ever-fake tone of happiness in my voice 

“Busy? Doing what gaming”  Aussie said with a slight laughter in his tone I laughed back with him

“Well, I think you let pretty with it, especially in your human form” New Zealand spoke with Canada nodding in agreement. 

“OH I see you brought D.C. with you today” Canada pointed out D.C. was still behind me he stepped forward sticking out his hand to shake “Hello sir good morning”

Canada shook his hand followed by Australia and New Zealand. 

“How come you materialize him today?” Canada questioned 

“Oh, it's because he is a great help when it comes to these things,” I said trying to keep the smile on my face from dropping.

 We heard the elevator going and we turned to see our father’s and it didn’t take long for us to recognize them. The UK human disguise was a noticeable one because he rarely ever took that stupid hat off. He had black hair, kept short prim and proper, dark purple eyes, and a dark blue suit. Our other father France human disguise had blonde hair that was mid-length but always kept in a low ponytail. He was not wearing a suit but a white lantern-sleeve blouse with black wide legs and baggy trousers that were snatched at the waist. And it didn’t take long for them to see us.

“MES GARÇONS” Papa shouted rushing over to us practically dragging Father with him to greet us papa came to hug us tightly almost crushing D.C in the process he only stood at 5’4 and most of us were over 6’3 “ mon garçon je ne t'ai pas vu depuis si longtemps (my boy I haven't seen you in so long)

“ARRÊT ARRÊT ARRÊT” I yelled practically begging to breathe and to save D.C. from suffocation 

“Oh sorry sorry” Papa apologized before letting us go free from his clutches D.C. was gasping for air clutching his chest with his hair and suit in a mess you would have thought he ran a Marathon by the way he looked. 

“Hi Papa, hey old man” I waved over to my other dad he gave me an eye roll before coming over to say hello 

“I see you brought D.C. today” he pointed out looking at the disoriented district trying to fix his hair. I threw some of my hair gel and comb that I had on me.

 “Yup, they going to listen on the meeting with me today” I laughed a little watching him redo himself. Before coming up to say hi to my parents a.k.a. His grandparents but they don't have to know that.

“Hello Mr.France and Mr. United Kingdom” he stuck out his hand to shake theirs they shook his hand with a smile 

“Oh, son I love your hair I love how long it is” Papa said with a smile looking at my hair before going behind me and gently grabbing it but with a sad look on his face. 

“Are you okay the last time you had it this long was during your great depression” he looked into my face with a worried look so was Father.

“Yeah I’m doing great, it’s just I hadn’t had time to cut my hair, and time does fly” I spoke in a cheery tone 

“You know you can tell us anything and we will listen ok” Papa came in front of me putting his hands on my shoulders and looking into my eyes. I wish I could I really do want to tell you guys everything and show you everything but I can't, I will when I am ready. 

“Yup understand” I gave them a smile to put them at ease D.C. gave me that look he could tell when I was lying. He had a certain look on his face when he catches someone in a lie it was hard to lie when he around, he doesn’t like it when I lied. I looked at the clock it was time to go to the meeting room.

“Ah, look it's almost time for the meeting” pointing at the clock on the wall

“Aw that soon” Papa gave me a sad look puffing up his lips 

“Alright I will be there soon I just have to go to the bathroom D.C. Sit by Canada Ok talk to you guys later” he shook his head before walking with the rest to the room.

I walked down the hall to the restroom I opened the door to look around the restroom for anyone in the stall. the cost was clear I had to do this fast I stepped into a stall.

“Staring eye” My hair was rustling around before one of my stars popped out of my hair. It was as small as a penny but grew to the size of a doorknob and opened its eye. I stuck my hand out and it landed on it looking at me. “Stay on the wall above the doorway” It did. It was a little version of a nod that snuck away into my sleeve as I went to the sink mentally preparing myself for what was coming. I can't get my pills until next week so I have to deal with the ghost that comes with counties.

I left the bathroom heading to the meeting room doors I put my hand on the doorway so the star could position itself. I did this for every meeting It’s just a precaution to protect myself and the others you never know what’s going to happen one day you might get shot I enter the room.

 The room was like a small Auditorium but more circular with an empty area in the front of the room. I looked around hardly any counties in the room and no ghosts in sight I found Canada sitting by my nameplate all the seats had nameplates for each country to find their seat. I took my seat with Canada he was on my right with D.C. on my left we were in the front row. I took out my papers getting ready for the meeting as the room started to get filled with other countries along with ghosts.

Japan was followed by the ghost of J.E looking worried for his son who came in looking tired I bet he was reading manga till late at night again that dumbass and then there was Russia a long-time rival the alcoholic especially when he drinks that much vodka the man he came in with his  15 other siblings I mean most of them are adopted. I really do like Ukraine's nice fellow who had a little crush on my brother Canada and so does Canada but they won't confess to one or the other scared that they might be rejected. and right behind them USSR, me and their father have a secret agreement. As long as I bring Pepsi or vodka to the community shrine where we keep memorabilia of formal fallen countries we going to be good. That was the man who gave the soda company a whole Navy fucking crying out loud and became the sixth-largest navy in the world for a lifetime of Pepsi. And Australia was all the way down to seven, me and my brothers made fun of him for being bumped down to 7th place by the soda company for a while. Then came Germany with third reach right behind him reach looked nervous I mean understandable he did kill thousands of people but it was due to him being hazed when his government became corrupt he was no longer in control of his actions or himself and when he got some control over himself. He killed himself because he believed that if he died the war would finally end and it did but leaving his child behind. I can't forgive him but I synthesize with it not his fault for being hazed but It is his fault for killing himself instead of trying to find different ways to resolve the conflicts. Then a few others came in with ghosts following behind them Italy with F.I in tow and a few other fallen countries came to hear the meeting since this is important It is rare to have the UN, EU, and ASEAN all in the same meeting. to watch the room get filled with ghosts and countries alike, with the ghosts floating around like no one can see them, and they are mostly right

everyone besides me can't see them as of now, the Axis powers with the USSR started to talk with each other and I could hear them they mostly talked about their concerns about their children, a few other countries and ghosts gathered around to talk before the meeting began.

 A few minutes passed everyone got settled The UN, EU, and ASEAN walked in with the EU and ASEAN taking a seat behind the stand UN took the stand clearing his throat before talking. 

“Hello everyone I hope this meeting finds you well” Speaking into the microphone as some countries turned on their translators they were little earpieces that automatically translated any language that existed to their main language. 

“Before we start this meeting I would like to ask you to turn off your human disguise”

Everyone pressed on their pin turning off the disguise showing their flag colors and their Supernatural features. Some have animalistic features like wings, tails, ears, horns, etc Others have halos or flying objects around them due to their super ability if they don't have animalistic features. 

UN smiles “Let's start this meeting shall we” fixing up his papers, wings, and halo.

Chapter Text

We were 1 hour into the meeting and it was already a drag I wish I was home with my kids and not here it so long and we have to be here for 6 hours UUGGHH. The E.U., U.N, and ASEAN were flirting with one another It was pretty obvious but no one else seemed to notice except me and Japan he was trying to keep his fanboying side showing. Only a few people know about his other side like me and S.K To other people he's a huge overworked nerd but when it gets night he's completely another person he goes to every bar he can go to he becomes a fun as-hell drunk but we have to careful with him he has cat ears and tail but keeps them away. But when he is super drunk he slips up from time to time but we are always there to stop him especially when he is in human form. we love to do a lot of nerdy stuff he likes to read and write manga he invites me to go drinking with him and to go shopping and watch anime he has become one of my best friends over the past years I need to talk to him more. Russia with a few other countries kept looking at me as if I looked weird or something, Russia was looking at me the most I hate being looked at like a clown performing at a circus.

 I was trying not to zone out watching the clock tick and tick waiting for a break or something to happen.

”Sir. United States” I heard my name get called I looked at the stand UN was looking at me waiting for my answer.

“Oh huh yes” I quickly fix myself up sitting up straight and checking my notes again for the meeting.

“Do you have any input about the reduction of greenhouse gasses for your country?” he asked looking at me, others were starting to look at me. 

“Yes within the next 5 years, we are hoping to reduce them by more than 10% with my country putting new laws and regulations with goals of hitting it in less than the needed time frame” I spoke fixing my papers this felt so awkward when are we going on break.

“Alright thank you” he smiled before speaking and calling out to others I zoned out by then already, I think we have recess in 20 minutes or so I can't wait to get out of the dump my glasses are getting foggy I needed to clean them when I'm out of sight. D.C. is still paying attention he loves these types of stuff due to how much he can learn from them is the main reason and he right but this meeting is nothing important besides learning about what countries are going to do for the world.

 maybe I should check the star really quickly just for fun to keep me entertained for a bit as I wait for the last few minutes to be up. I closed one eye “Staring down,” I said in a whisper my vision split in two I could see the hallway and the meeting at the same time. A human man was coming down the corridor humans are not allowed to be in the building right now only security, But they stay down and are not allowed to be on this floor. He looks nervous like he was running away from something SHIT DID WE LOCK THE DOOR I watched him in a panic looks like he stood at the entrance of the door. Canada and D.C. looked at me in worry I kept watching hoping he was just lost and security was going to get him fast. I watched him tilled he backed away looking like he was going to break in, fuck .

“EVERYONE GET DOWN AND HIDE NOW PINS ON” I shouted in a panic tone using my power speaker of the house. taking D.C. down behind me and putting him under the table he turned on his pin I’m not about to have so asshole harm my kid. I jumped over the table and pushed my pin jumping to the podium to UN grabbing his hand and pressing his pin turning on his disguise. Some people were shaken a few listened and turned on their pins before the man burst through the doors. the countries duct turning on their pins the man had a gun how the fuck did he find us this meeting was supposed to be confidential.

“EVERYONE GET NOW DOWN HE HAS A GUN” I yelled for the last time before getting down pulling UN down with me good thing I always have my gun on me. He looked around the room pointing his gun looking for someone specific. His eyes quickly landed on UN and Me. Me and Him was his target fucking damn it, before I could be anything quickly he shot at me but misses I used my body as a shield pushing him behind the Podium stand. You can smell the gunpowder and the chipped wood and the ringing of the shot. I pointed and shot that man in the arm so he would let go of the gun. He let go of the gun and yelled in pain yelling out profanities before trying to grab the gun again. I tackled him down to the ground wrestling with him for the gun shooting at me 3 times 2 right in the Torso and arm this motherfucker. The ringing in my ears got louder and more painful I smelled the blood on me,

this was a direct attack…

I shot him in the arm he yelled in pain again I was running on adrenaline, but I managed to pin him down before he could run away and hurt anyone else. I yelled for Father to use his power to hold him down. A black pool summed under him black tentacles wrapped around his body pressing him down to the ground I got up and walked over to UN. 

“Hey are you good” I smiled he looked at me with a shocked look on his face looking me up and down. “The FUCK YOU MEAN IM OK” he got up in a rush I'm grabbing my shoulder and shaking me.

“Look at you you’re bleeding out” I looked down to see my clothes becoming a blood puddle. Stumbled a bit my vision started to get blurry and dark ah shit what am I supposed to tell the kids how I got shot in the Torso by a guy trying to kill us. I was falling fuck, but before I could do anything someone caught me I looked in DC's direction, and DC came over with a chair and bandana he sat me down taking off my glasses I kept my eyes closed till he put the bandana over my eyes and tying it on. Everything is becoming burry and incoherent at least no one else got hurt everything is fading to black, maybe due to blood loss, the pain is getting to me right as I was passing out. 

Candan

When I heard UN call on America I looked at my brother for an answer from him he was zoning out again. Surprisingly he answered quickly and UN seemed pleased with that answer before beginning to talk again, I was already daydreaming Jeez I'm becoming just like my brother who was right next to me I rarely get to see him nowadays.  He never visited because he said he was busy and we can't visit him either because we don't know where he lives he knows where we live asshole. I looked over at Ukraine their so pretty with the flowers that decorated their head with yellow and blue ribbons that fell from their hair I wished they liked me back but there was no way they would fall for me. I looked over back at my brother zoning out I looked over to see DC fiddling with America’s hair america didn't seem to notice he and America have a bit of a strange relationship. With most counties and their parts State and organizations they only really have a coworker type of relationship. But he and DC seem to have a different type of relationship almost like Father and Son, given that the father acts childish sometimes in times and the son is the more reasonable one at times, but nonetheless but the few times I have seen them together they do seem like Father and Son. And I wasn't really expecting my brother to have that type of relationship with his parts of him but he always has been unpredictable. 

I looked back at my brother he had a worried look on his face like he seemed looking at something but it was hard to tell with his sunglasses. He suddenly yelled out it startled me because he used his power of the Speaker of the House which he doesn't use very often I almost jumped out of my chair. America told us to get down and to turn on our pins. I don’t know why but he seemed panicky, he pulled DC down and under I got behind a table not knowing what was happening till I heard the doors slam open I peeked over and then I saw the reason why there was a man a human. I wonder how the hell he was able to predict that we needed to hide he jumped over the table and ran over to UN bringing him down and turning on his disguise. Then I saw America pull out a gun he's not talking about fighting the guy he thinking !!??! RIGHT, I ducked again when I heard a gunshot I heard the man yell in pain and a few more shots rang in the air I peeked over the table to see if it was safe to get out. I saw the man being pinned down to the ground by America he yelled for Dad to use his powers to pin him down. then I saw America he was bloody from the waist. He walked over to UN to ask him if he was ok but Un just shouted at him asking if he was ok. Ah shit he was about to pass out and hit the ground "AMERICA" That bastard I hopped over the table with DC and started running towards him to catch him before he fell but Russia got there before me. He caught his arm DC brought over a chair he sat him down on the chair DC took out a red bandana from his pocket he took off America's glasses covering his eyes with the red bandanna he was now unconscious and losing a lot of blood by now guards came by taking care of the asshole "SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE" I yelled countries ran out of the room got a hold of some supplies Germany came towels and we started pressing down on the wounds to keep the blood from coming now until the ambulance came. It felt like hours even if it was just a few minutes but those minutes were hell till the ambulance came.  Dad looked scared for him we got him on the ambulance Australia and New Zealand got in the car with me to the Hospital Père, dad and DC got on the ambulance with ame. so they can stay with him oh my God what was he thinking we just got to see each other today and he's already going to the hospital. We got to the Hospital a few minutes after America came in we ran to the lobby area where we saw père and DC waiting but no Dad.

“W-what can you tell us about US” as I try to catch my breath asking Père about America. 

“He went to surgery” DC answered with a worried look on his face “They said that he will be there for at least 3 hours luckily WHO always comes on our travels when in meetings and is never far” New Zealand spoke up “Dad where is Dad” looking around the lobby “he having trouble holding himself together so he went to deal with it” père spoke jumping and shaking his leg up and down with his hands folded with his eyes focus on the door of the surgery room dad finally came back but he was now separated into England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, we couldn't do anything but wait in Lobby for America to get out of the surgery room. Those hours felt like years but America was finally out WHO came to talk with us.

“Hello everyone Mr.USA should be waking up soon the surgery went great. He should stay in the hospital for at least 3 days and rest for about 6 days after that” We all let out a breath that we did not even know that we were holding in. 

“No major organs were hit luckily But we did make a discovery ” he took off his glasses before speaking again 

“His body is over-exhausted do you guys know how he got like this” We were shocked to hear about this.

“No we don't we haven't seen him in a long while” Père spoke with a look of worry in his face DC had a look on his face but hard to tell his emotion like a face of worry or disappointment. 

“Well then we just have to ask him when he wakes up” he fixed his glasses on his face 

“Would you like me to take you to his room” checking his clipboard while writing something 

“Yes please” Wales spoke we followed WHO to the room where America was already there, he had bandages around his waist and head his eyes no longer covered by the red bandana with it being on the side table.

“Hey you guys should get something to eat from the cafeteria” We looked over to DC who spoke while taking off his jacket and sitting in a chair near America. 

“ And what about you” Socland spoke looking at DC

“I'm going to be okay just get an everything bagel with cream cheese with black coffee, you guys haven't eaten anything since the morning so go eat” He pointed down his gassles looking up at us and taking out his phone.

“Ok call us if he wakes up ok,” I said as we left the room and headed down the hallway.

D.C. pov
I'm tired, worried, mad, and so many other emotions I'm feeling all at once I feel so numb like I'm going to throw up but I have nothing in me to throw up. I took off my glasses placing them on the table next to Father I needed to call the States right now. before they come back the cafeteria breakfast should keep them busy for a bit. I looked over at Father aging, he is lucky that he could heal quickly, always putting us first and not himself what would we do if he died and left us in the hands of the government it was bad enough that they made him from alliances and enemies with countries all over the world when he wanted to stay neutral. The reason why we aren't being controlled in every aspect of our lives is that he was founded by the people and not the government and also he materialized long before the Americas were founded. I picked up my phone and going through my contacts called Delaware he won't pick up after 5 calls so let's try Pennsylvania he won't answer either, ok ok let's try alphabetically dialing everyone not even California won't pick up What is happening? Slowly going through all the contacts calling them one by one till I last on. the home landline I dialed the phone one more time I let the phone ring someone picked up please pick up. Why isn't anyone picking up

~ 20 minutes ago ~
Delaware pov
chaos, chaos absolute FUCKING chaos with us it California wildfires season and he is not listening he can catch any one of us on fire. some of the original 13 are arguing about who is better and who should be in charge. And I do say none of them should be in charge considering how childish act with each other and it doesn't help when Pennsylvania and I are tied up hanging from the ceiling with duck tape over our mouths when we tried to intervene and mediate the whole situation and I don't think the Chandelier is strong enough to hold us. then there are Hawaii and Alaska the two are throwing darts at pictures of Imperial Japan and the Russian Empire and almost hitting Wyoming in the process. Texas was having a horse race with Arizona and New Mexico outside luckily this time. Florida was climbing on the walls like a possessed demon with Alabama and Georgia trying to fend him off. I'm starting to lose my sanity in this household a little more every day.

I heard the back door open with Texas laughing in victory with Arizona and New Mexico groaning almost no one can beat him in horse racing.
Arizona groaned in annoyance “I can't believe I lost again to you” while pulling at his face
“You know the procedure now” Texas spoke reaching his hand out, New Mexico, and Arizona giving him both 20 dollars.

Nevada came yelling across the whole household yelling state war, all the while waving around a red and blue flag
oh
Oh…
Maybe I can get out of this I wonder who's playing this time it seems like the west and east states are fighting this time with the center states watching from the sofa and the upper balconies ok this is good this means they're going to need me. Looking down watching this spectacle unfold this is going to lead to a giant mess and I DON'T WANT TO CLEAN I cry silently to myself, But I see Alaska flying towards us.
“Yo,” he said as ripped the tape off us
“OW” I yelled as he ripped it off
“Oh stop being a baby,” he said as he untied us from the Chandelier with Florida at the bottom ready to catch us.
“Florida to ask me to untie you guys so they had enough people playing for them,” he said right before he had as falling onto Florida.

“You guys ready,” Florida told us with a smile on his face
“Wait I didn't agree to this-” I try to speak before Pennsylvania cut me off “OF COURSE WE ARE let's beat their asses come on” hoping out of his arms running off and smiling. Florida dropped me to follow Penny, fucking assholes I muttered to myself before getting up to review the damage around the house it was a mess. I couldn't do much more before Massachusetts carried me away to help them build a fort. If there is a god out there please help me not to fucking lose it here with them anymore.

Massachusetts
LA RÉVOLUTION HAHAHAHA

Long live the revolution it’s war with the west and east states, and the central states are just sitting and relaxing, It's a full-out war out here the living room is divided into two it's crazy we rarely get to do this type of stuff when dad around besides in training but it not as fun when we can't get to pick our teams.

The west and east separated into two teams the red team and the blue team. The “war” we play is like Capture the Flag but with some modifications to it each team gets around 13 loose flags depending on how many people are playing can be up to 18 for teams or even 6 but we're playing with 13 flags. There are empty poles around the area with no flags they are called “territories” and there should be at least 2-3 that should not have loose flags on them and you have to place them on the pole while in the game. Ecah team should have an even number of “territories” and should we have 6 territories each that aren't our base with 2 of them unclaimed? When the game begins we need to replace and take over territories of the enemy while protecting ours they can also take back their “territories”. The whole point of the game is to take over all the teams ‘territories” and this is where the 13th flag comes in it is to put on the enemy main base and when the “territories” are taken over with the main base the game ends and you win. You can be taken out of the game if you have a total of 5 red tapes on your body every one gets 10 pieces of tape to “hit” people with and if you got hit you had to wait until someone “heals you” But then you have to go in 6 minutes timeout. Dad says it is to sharpen our skills in practicing strategizing and teamwork but it is honestly enjoyable to do too bad we don't do it as much.

For the blue team, we have Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Texas, and Wyoming on the west.

For the red team, we have Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Virginia, I am on the red side

We need to set up before the round begins
“OK EVERYONE HAS 15 MINUTES TO SET UP BEFORE WE START” I yelled before running over to collect pillows and other things before this place went to hell.

~14 minutes later and 55 seconds later ~
“1 2 3 4 5… WAR!” I yelled before running back to our base time was up we started to throw objects at one another. North Carolina and Rhode Island started to run to the unclaimed poles of ours quickly putting on the flags before running for cover. New Jersey yelled that a state coming in it was Wyoming being flung over in his stateball form to our side with one of dad military helmets trying to destroy our fortress. like we are going to fall that easily Florida caught him mid-air and threw him back to their base. " TAKE THAT HAHAHA " I laughed as I saw California trying to catch him before he hit the ground. Where is Delaware? We need him if we're going to fight with an even number of people.

Delaware's pov

finally got away from that cause can't with that shit anymore but the home landline has been ringing for a way now I need to answer it because it seems like no one is paying attention to the phone I picked up the phone.

“Hello…” I answered
“FUCKING FINALLY” It was D.C. on the other end of the line calling us.
“OW wait D.C? You know you don't have to yell and why are you calling on the landline?” I questioned him.
“IT BECAUSE NO ONE ANSWERING THERE PHONES” he yelled into the phone in an angry voice but there was a tone of worry in his voice.
“You sound worried right now what happened” I asked because D.C rarely yelled only when he was mad or worried he rarely got mad.
He calmed down a bit before answering “Dad got shot”
“DAD GOT WHAT!” holy shit “Is he ok?!?”
“Yes he ok now but he should be waking up soon”
“Are you ok DC what happened” I was getting worried now.
He took a deep breath “I’m ok, there was a shooter”
“A WHAT HOW WHEN” I fucking hell some of the other states stated to realize some up and starting to enter the kitchen.
“A shooter got in the meeting room and shot it up this morning we're still trying to figure out how they got In since the building was closed to the public for this meeting I'm currently in the hospital right now with Dad in the room”
“OK then, I'm coming over there right now just send me your location so I can get Washington” waiting for an answer from D.C.
“NO you can’t come here right now” Can’t come here right the hell does that mean why can’t he go over there?
“What do you mean we can’t go” I asked him we need to be there for Dad I can teleport us there I have enough energy for a two-way trip that far away.
“Dad has some company here right now they're out of the room right now but I don't know when they're coming back and they can't know about you guys” When DC says their company like that he means countries they did go to a global meeting. Of course, there would be countries there visiting him what now…
“WAIT” I yelled into the phone
“Ow but what is it del ”
“Me and pen can disguise ourselves with our human shelves and not like the “company” is going to know it us,” I told him
“Ok fine just the 2 of you guys can come but you have to be quick I will text you later bye see you guys soon” DC hung up the phone.
I put the phone back in place, I turned around to see that almost everyone was there waiting for me to answer them, they had long gone and stopped playing the game already.
“So what happened Del” Pennsylvania asked
“Dad is in the hospital we need to go now to check on him it will be quick ok,” I told him putting on my jacket it was already getting to teleport checking my phone, geez he was calling for a bit, checking my message see that D.C. sent the location and floor the room was on he also sent the floor layout so I don't accidentally appear in a random ass room.

“Wait Dad in the hospital?!?!” running quickly to get his things and placing on his jacket
The other states started questioning me, asking how he was and what happened. I explained to them that I needed to get there quickly right now and that I would explain everything to them, as soon as possible. As the oldest, I need to take responsibility for what happening right now.
“We will be back in a few minutes ok,” I told them, grabbing Pennsylvania's hand before teleporting to the hospital.
