《Outlander》Chapter 30

"I want to see Claude today." I mumbled, tossing and turning in bed, "I want some dried mangoes. Unripe mangoes with sautéed shrimp paste. Or soy sauce with spicy vinegar and sugar." I added, exhaling a sigh, "Dinuguan and puto." I sighed, hiding myself under the blanket.
"Good morning, baby." Nat greeted, "Not for me." I muttered, "Why? Are you okay? Are you ill?" She asked, worriedly, shaking my head even though she couldn't see me, "I'm feeling tired right now." I answered, exhaling a breath, "I don't know." I added.
"Here, let me see you." Nat said, tugging the blanket, "Nope, don't wanna." I replied, tightly gripping the blanket, "Come on, angel, do it for me." She said, exhaling a breath. Nat successfully grabbed the blanket, placing a hand on my forehead, "Hm, you don't have a fever. Why don't you just lie down. I'll bring some food to you." She said, standing up.
"No, I don't want to eat something right now." I declined, Nat exhaled a sigh, "Then what do you want to eat?" She asked, "Hmm, I want some dried mangoes. Unripe mangoes with sautéed shrimp paste. Or soy sauce with spicy vinegar and sugar. Dinuguan and puto. Balut. Turon. Chicharon." I answered, Nat looked at me confusingly, "Okay." She replied, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion and left.
Grunting as I forced myself to get up, doing my routine, I came back to the bed. My steps halted, sighing knowing the culprit of what I'm feeling today, "Bloody murder." I mumbled, staring at the red stain on the bed, "So she decided to visit me today." I mumbled, shaking my head.
Clicking my tongue in disapproval, tying my hair in a bun, hearing rushed footsteps coming to my room, their thoughts were so loud for me, enough to make me wince.
Is she okay?
Is she ill?
Is she hurt?
What happened to my bunny?
What kind of weird food did she just mention?
Do we need to go to the hospital?
We need to call the ambulance!
Is she perhaps pregnant?
Choking at my own saliva hearing the last one, as the door opened, "Stop." I said as they were about to open their mouths, "It's just someone decided to visit me." I added, "Who?" Tony asked, "Aunt Flo." I answered, earning confused looks from them.
Rolling my eyes, "It's my time of the month." I continued, earning a chuckle from Nat, "Oh, I see. Leak week, huh?" She asked, smirking at me, clicking my tongue in disapproval.
"What? Care to elaborate." Tony asked, "Period. Menstruation. Code Red." I replied, "For someone who is a self proclaimed genius it's a shame you don't know what Code Red is." I added, earning a chuckle from Loki.
Tony rolled his eyes, "Sad to say sweetheart, I don't do girl language." He countered. "Leak Week?" Bruce asked, "Yep, cause I'm a leaky mess for the next few days." I answered.

"Oh, I thought you're pregnant." Clint said, shaking my head, "This is the clear evidence that I'm not." I answered, pointing at the stain on my bed sheet.
Groaning as I bowed my head, "Hey, hey, are you okay?" Steve asked, sitting beside me, leaning my head to his shoulders, "Just feeling nauseous." I replied, humming feeling a hand on my abdomen, "Here, it'll help you in some way, darling." Loki said, saying my thanks.
"Do you want to eat anything, my queen?" Thor asked, "Can you say it, Jay?" I asked, tiredly, "Very well, RJ." Jarvis replied, repeating what I said to Nat, "What kind of food is that?" Tony asked, confusingly.
"A food you aren't familiar with." I mumbled, earning another chuckle from Loki. "You should rest first, princess." Steve said, "Don't worry, darling. I'll find those for you." Loki said, "Aw, aren't you the sweetest?" I teased, placing a quick kiss on his lips.
"Okay, JARVIS find those foods Via mentioned. I want a kiss too." Tony said, "Very well, sir." Jay replied, "Not before I found those." Clint challenged, "You sure about that?" Nat asked, "Oh, never one to shrink from an honest challenge." Tony replied, "I'm in." Loki said, raising my eyebrows, "Me too." Thor joined in, chuckling looking at them.
"I'll be right back, my queen." Thor said, placing a kiss on my forehead and left, "Hey, I didn't say go yet." Tony said, placing a kiss on my cheek and followed Thor. Nat and Clint also placed a kiss on my forehead and left.
Leaving Steve, Bruce, and I inside my room, "I'm living with a bunch of kids." I mumbled, hearing both of them chuckled, "You sure do." Bruce replied, "I'll go get some medicine and a hotpad." Bruce added, nodding my head and humming.
"You should change her before she falls asleep." Bruce continued, shaking my head, "I can do it." I said, gasping as Steve effortlessly carried me.
"Let me be of your service, ma'am." Steve whispered, nibbling my ear, sending shivers and goosebumps all over my body, "Steven Grant Rogers." I said, looking at him with wide eyes, "Hm?" he asked, slightly tilting his head to the side looking at me innocently, chuckling at him and shaking my head.
"Such a naughty boy." I teased, "Oh, I can be naughtier if you want." He replied, laughing at what he said.

Sitting in the living room leaning my head on Steve's shoulders, my legs entangled with his, his hand resting on my thighs caressing it with thumb, his other hand resting on my shoulder.
"Where the hell did everyone go?" I asked, hearing him chuckle, "Probably finding what you craved for." Steve replied, Bruce appeared, sitting behind me, caressing my back, a satisfied sigh escaped from me.

Adjusting my position, laying my head on Bruce's lap, my legs on top of Steve's lap, Bruce gently brush my hair while Steve on my legs, closing my eyes.
I wish Bucky was here.
Hearing Steve's longing thoughts about Bucky, exhaling a sigh and opening my eyes, "Don't be surprised on what I will say, Steve." I started, hearing him hum.
"It's about Bucky." I said, feeling a light grip on my thighs, "Who's Bucky?" Bruce asked, "Our soulmate." I replied, "How did you know about him?" Steve asked.
What am I supposed to answer him? Oh, I have a brother who's an avid fan of Marvel. Died and got reincarnated here inside this universe. That's why I know everything about what's to happen.
"I... I heard your thoughts." I answered, "I'm sorry for intruding your mind." I added, "No, it's okay princess. Buck is also your soulmate. He was my best friend and soulmate. Back then, we couldn't really express our feelings. But, what did you want to say about him?" He asked, "He's alive. HYDRA has him." I replied, "What? How can that be when I saw him fall?" He asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
"HYDRA kept him alive. At their Siberian Facility." I answered, "That can't be." He mumbled, disbelievingly, "I secretly investigated and got his file." I confessed, "What? That's dangerous, Via." Steve said, tone slightly angry.
"I know. He's our soulmate and I want to save him." I replied, feeling myself tearing up, "I just want my soulmates to be safe." I added, "Hey, hey, it's okay. I'm not mad. I'm just worried for you." Steve cooed, grabbing my hands and placing a kiss on the back of my hands.
"Fucking period." I mumbled, hearing both of them chuckle, wiping my tears, "Captain, there seems to be someone outside." Jay said, "Who is it?" Steve asked, Bruce placed a kiss on my forehead, "Shh. It's normal to be emotional during your period." He said, comforting me.
Gasping as I saw who appeared on the hologram, "Peter." I shriek, "Cute." I whispered, staring at him as he fidgets and looks around, making eye contact at the camera, giving a small smile and wave.
"I'll go fetch him." Steve said, Bruce and I nodded as he left. Closing my eyes, Bruce continued to brush my hair, "Aren't you hungry?" He asked, shaking my head, "Nope." I replied, "Via?" He asked, humming my response.
"What's your favorite food?" He asked, opening my eyes, staring at him directly as our eyes locked, "If you let me taste you. It might just be you." I answered and winked at him, hearing him clear his throat, giggling at his reaction.
"I have a question. How do you relax after a stressful day?" I asked, curiously, "Just by seeing you." He immediately answered, my eyes momentarily widened at his answer, "You never fail to amaze me, Brucie." I mumbled, hearing a soft laugh from him.
"Where's Via? Is she okay? Did something happen to her?" A voice asked, "Isn't he the cutest? Looks like you'll meet Peter today." I commented, smiling at Bruce.
"Couch with Bruce. She's having her time of the month." Steve replied, "Oh, by Bruce you mean, Bruce Banner, Mr. Hulk?" Peter asked, giggling at him.
"Yeah." Steve answered, they soon both appeared waving at them, "Hello, gorgeous boys." I greeted, "Via!" Peter called and excitedly approached me, "How are you? Are you hurt?" He asked, worriedly, "Just some cramps." I answered.
"Oh, I have some chocolates here. Maybe it'll lift your mood." He said, opening his bag, grabbing a bar of chocolate, instantly getting up and enclosing his face with both my hands.
"Oh, Peter Benjamin Parker. Thank you so much." I said, kissing him on the forehead, nose, and lips.
His eyes widened, his cheeks and ears reddened, "Stop harassing the poor boy." Steve teased, Bruce laughed. "Come, sit with us." I offered, grabbing his hand as he sat down beside Bruce.
"I'm home." They said in unison, carrying a bunch of paper bags on both their hands, squealing as I opened my arms, everyone laughed as I raised my eyebrows, "What?" I asked, "It's just our first time seeing you act like that." Nat replied.
Slightly tilting my head to the side, "Act like what?" I asked, "Like a kid who's excited to have new toys." Tony answered, "Oh, we have a visitor." Thor said, looking at Peter. "Is he the high school genius Tony said?" Loki asked, nodding my head, "Yep." I cheerfully answered.
"Hi, there. I'm Clint. Please to finally meet you." Clint said, introducing himself. "Is this real? Are the Avengers really my soulmates?" Peter asked, looking at them with wide eyes, "Believe it or not kiddo, we sure are your soulmates." Tony answered, winking at him.
As each of them introduced themselves to Peter, I managed to discreetly snatch all the paper bags and went to the kitchen, "Let's see what they got." I mumbled, opening one-by-one, "Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ." I muttered, covering my mouth with my hand as my eyes widened seeing what's inside the paper bags.

The Isekai Police (aka "Earth's Advocates")
When evil kings summon kids from Earth to be used and abused as fast-leveling soldiers in their petty wars, the Isekai Police will be there to stop them. A group of ex-isekai protagonists in their own right, they utilize their collective skills to fight for the end of summoning abuse. Artyom Choi, cynical ex-hero and founding member of the organization, is sent to investigate the presence of an Earther on an innocently idyllic World where no summoning has supposedly taken place. His mission: rescue the Earther and figure out how he got there. Dark secrets lie beneath the surface of paradise, however. Will he be able to find this new hero and get out before whatever malicious forces brought them there doom them both? Book 1 has been finished! You can read Book 2 here in parallel or even before Book 1 if you want more TOAL than Artyom! https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/47708/the-isekai-police-hero-summonings-are-overrated This story is meant to be a deconstruction of the isekai genre that references and sometimes pokes fun at various tropes. Artyom isn’t some kid whose goal is to amass Levels or a harem. In fact, all he cares about is protecting other Earthers, and won’t let anything like that get in the way! So expect to see: -A mature main character who still has some flaws. -Character development over the course of the story. -No harems! (see last point) -A vibrant world full of interesting people, deep culture, and mysterious lore that gets uncovered as the story goes on. -Plenty of funny moments along the way! -The presence of a few cliched tropes and stereotypes only for the sake of poking fun at them. So step in, take the first leap, and uncover the next hot take on this expansive genre! My discord here: https://discord.gg/Zc8CHSrxVr
