Summary: intro to a Dark!Pete AU where Pete works with Way to bring Babe back to the Chen Foundation - Using Martin as a hostage, found and taken by Kenta, Tony demands Pete work for him in bringing Babe back to the Chen Foundation before the auction. Desperate to keep his son safe, Pete agrees. There's nothing he can do against Tony if he wants to see his son again. Kenta is another story. With Pete’s hands closed tight around his throat, Kenta knows that he has finally gone too far. No matter what he’s done in the past, he always knew in the back of his mind that Pete could forgive him. Staying with their adoptive father, being used as a dog, threatening Pete and holding a knife to his throat- all of that had been met with pity and understanding. There’s no more of that. Kenta chokes, gasping for air. It feels like he wouldn’t be able to get any oxygen even if Pete released his vice grip because Kenta is drowning in the dominant pheromones the Enigma is giving off, drowning in the

Summary: Alan buys a new camera for North and Sonic to use for the team's social media and livestreams, which the two keep referring to as their baby, causing misunderstandings and chaos. It breaks. After being gifted a brand new camera for team use by Alan after receiving some more funding from new sponsors, Sonic and North had promised each other that they would take excellent care of it. Now that they knew the joys and heightened quality of a dedicated camera, neither of them wanted to return to just using North’s phone and a selfie stick for their filming. They’d already totally adapted to using it after filming a team introduction video and spending a race weekend with it in hand, and for them, there was absolutely no going back. They loved their new mechanical baby, referring to themselves as its parents and it as their child. Camera parenthood was going great. They’d yet to forget to charge it and never left it behind when they took it out of the garage. The two of them were

Summary: Way makes a comment in a conversation with Jeff and Charlie. Sonic and North, the team's now-official PR, decide that the whole team needs some sensitivity training before they get canceled if Way says something during a livestream. Sonic and North finished setting up and testing the new camera Alan had gifted to them at the start of the new season. With the extra money they were getting from Beyond Group and the other new sponsors that the team had managed to find, Alan had decided that it was for the best that their PR team got a bigger budget than North’s cellphone and Sonic and Charlie’s video editing skills and had splurged on an actual camera after casually asking North what kind was his dream to use. They’d debated what they should use it for first, wanting their first real material to be special, then decided they would use it to film a team introduction video. They had new people in the team now that everything was settled, and it would be something simple to piece

Summary: While watching over Martin when Pete is on a business trip, Way brings the boy along with him to the garage. However, he'd forgotten one thing- only Babe and Charlie knew who Martin was. Everyone else thinks Way has been keeping a child secret from them all. “Are you sure you don’t want to come with Papa and Banzai on this trip, little one?” Pete asked his son, trying to coax the four-year-old boy out from where he was hiding underneath a few pillows on the sofa. His Shih Tzu, Banzai, stood against the couch, small front paws just barely reaching the cushion to let him see onto it. The dog gave Pete a look as if he was also concerned. There was a strangled cough from the other side of the room, a clear coverup of laughter. Pete was sure the three of them made an amusing sight- Martin not at all covered by the few throw pillows he’d curled up under but seemingly believing that if he couldn’t see anyone that they couldn’t see him, Pete kneeling on the floor next to the couch

Summary: Way just wants to spend a nice afternoon with his pup at the beach while he's in hiding. Charlie just wants to relax as he fakes his death. Then they run into each other. “Way, do you have a swimsuit?” Way startled as the voice of one of two older people he was staying with suddenly cut through the silence of his bedroom, his body jolting and a hand instinctively going to his belly. He bit back a curse and looked over at the doorway. The beta woman had her hand up in a fist against the doorway, so he’d somehow missed her knocking even though he hadn’t been asleep. Not a great sign, indicating just how lost in his thoughts he’d been. She waited for him to sit up, swinging his legs off the side of his bed, before she repeated her question. For a moment he just stared at her, completely confused as to why she would be asking him that. The house didn’t have a pool. “Uh, no,” he finally managed to reply. He’d only packed a small bag of his clothes to bring along before Pete had

Summary: Alan asks North and Sonic to do an errand for him, bringing some financial records to Pete at Beyond Group, and the two decide to bring Charlie and Babe's pup along on an uncle-nephew errand outing. It goes great until it goes hilariously wrong, all during an X-Hunter Instagram Live. North and Sonic Lose Charlie and Babe's Baby on Livestream “Okay, here’s the financial reports for Beyond,” Alan said as he returned from his office with a folder in his hands, snapping it shut after one last glance to make sure the hefty stack of papers inside contained everything it needed to. He held it out to North and Sonic, who sprung up from the couch they’d been lounging on while waiting for him. As North went to grab it, a brief glimmer of anxiety crossed Alan’s face before he sidestepped past the Omega junior driver and instead placed it into Sonic’s hands. He squeezed Sonic’s hands around it to make sure he had a firm grip on the folder, and told him, “Don’t lose this. Bring it

- When his Dark Ultra daughters don't arrive to pick him up from the planet he was visiting, Alien Sturm Icarios Jaedas searches for the one person who can surely find them and save them from whatever trouble they're in - their progenitor, Noa. - Having been pacing back and forth for what felt like an eternity, Icarios Jaedas finally stopped and forced himself to accept what had happened. He’d been waiting a full 24 hours, and now he couldn’t deny it. His family was not there to pick him up on the day he specified, which meant only one thing: something terrible had happened to them, and he would need to go search for them, even if there was no way he could be of any help at all. For something to have kept both his daughters and their… Briefly, he wondered what he was supposed to call the other parent of his daughters. Typical parental terms didn’t seem quite right. They weren’t a typical parent. DNA donor seemed too detached and not entirely accurate, all things considered

- Before heading to an Earth in another dimension, two Dark Ultra clones escape from the space facility where they were created. - When her sister tells her they need to escape, Dawn agrees, because why wouldn’t she? Eve is always right. The only home they’ve ever known doesn’t treat them well, and there’s no reason for them to stay somewhere like that when there’s a whole multiverse full of planets and places that will suit them better. Though they’ve never seen any of it for themselves, their host vessel has told them plenty of stories. His home planet seemed to be a wonderful place, not just because of the things he’d said, but the music he’d played as well. Surely, Dawn thought, beautiful music could only come from an equally beautiful world. Though that dearly beloved home is gone, in an infinite universe in infinite variations, there must be another that can bring such happiness to them as well. Eve tells her this in a whispered ramble, desperate and pleading, and Dawn can only

Azriel gives her a wide smile, one that she’s gotten quite used to, but his eyes are cold, the light blue of them like ice. Madee hates that she’s suddenly scared of him after he’s been so friendly and cheerful the past few weeks she’s known him. Gone is the excited priest who convinced her to marry him on their second meeting, the kind and determined man telling her how to avoid frightening his son before introducing them to make sure the shy little boy was okay with his father’s choice of a wife. Instead, he looks like a hunter trying to judge how best to strike the killing blow on easy prey. He leers over her, and she’s not so thrilled about their height difference anymore, as she had been when she’d first considered accepting his proposal. His voice is as cold as his eyes as he tells her, “As I said, this is the only matter in which I will be demanding your complete obedience, as your husband. I have no desire to control you.” She opens her mouth to call the whole thing off if
