Liliana's PoV
"Sebastian," I said softly. "I'm ready."
"No, you're not," he replied. I let out a sigh.
"I am! If you don't think so, I can always do it with someone else," I explained. He narrowed his eyes at me. He shook his head firmly.
"It has to be with me," he spoke. "I'm not letting you do this alone or with someone else."
"Well, stop disagreeing with me then," I snapped. He didn't say a word but mumbled something under his breath. "What was that?," I asked sharply, my eyes narrowing at him.
"Nothing," he shrugged, innocently.
"I still need to talk to Dom," I sighed out. "He actually hates me."
"He doesn't. That also reminds me that I need to apologise to Vin."
"You haven't fucking apologised to him?," I asked in shock. He nodded his head before running a hand down his face.
Sebastian fired Vin to protect his plan of revenge and he also possibly maybe said some pretty hurtful things.
"I've been occupied."
"He went to your fucking wedding,"
"I forgot."
"You're useless."
"I know."
"Anyway, after we've done here, you can apologise to Vin and I can apologise to Dom," I planned. He nodded his head.

We walked through the cemetery. Sebastian grabbed my hand, probably thinking I'll need his support. Suddenly, we stopped. "We're here," he spoke.
I slowly looked down at the ground, my eyes landing on the gravestone.
Liliana Romano
Beautiful wife, daughter, sister and best friend
'The bright light in our darkness'
1998-2016
It could've been Liliana Di Salvo but my name was never legally changed. Plus, we never even thought about me having his last name.
My breath hitched in my throat as I finally saw it. I did come here years ago to stalk Sebastian but I never even dared to look at my gravestone.
There were fresh flowers leaning against it, no doubt from my parents still trying to keep up the lie that I'm dead. Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't heard yet.
I leaned down and just stared at it. "The caskets empty, right?," I asked warily. He shrugged his shoulders.

"I thought you were dead so I don't know," he shrugged. "But your parents wouldn't be sick enough to put some random dead and probably missing girl in there."
"They would," I spoke, quietly. "Some random girl could be in there. In my grave. Her parents were probably worried sick; they probably still are."
He stayed silent.
"Their little girl never came home," I spoke sadly.
"We don't know for sure if there is someone in there," Sebastian said. "It could be just an empty casket."
"I doubt it. They needed a body. It's not like I was missing." He nodded his head, agreeing with me. I stayed silent for a moment.
"I'll be back in a minute," he said before he walked away.
"Hey," I spoke, looking at the ground. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I let out a sigh as my eyes began watering. I was unable to fathom the idea that an innocent soul is resting in a grave that wasn't meant for them. "Whoever is in here, I promise I'll find out who you are-were. And I promise to try and give your parents some closure. I'm so so sorry."
I really am.

Sebastian's PoV
I walked away from Liliana. She decided to visit her grave today of all days. Now, today is nothing special. I just needed her for business. I needed her to sign some papers.
But now I can't because after this, she wants to go and pay Dom a little visit. She's also gonna make me apologise to Vin. I have no problem apologising to him. It's just today I wanted her to sign the papers and now I can't because she planned something else for the day.
I can't just give her the papers and say 'sign it'. She'll probably throw it back in my face. I need to be there and talking to her while she signs it because it makes it a lot less likely for her to read the whole thing while she's not completely focused on it.
"Hey," I spoke as the person I called had answered. "You're not getting them papers today."

"Why?," they asked, their tone raising. "We need them signed today."
"Push the meeting back. You'll get them tomorrow," I said flatly before I cut the call.
I ran a hand down my face as I glanced back at her small figure in the distance. She was crouched down with a hand touching the ground.
Her parents wouldn't have put someone else in there, would they?

Liliana's PoV
We had parked outside of Doms house. "Can-Can you come in with me?," I asked, gingerly.
He let out a sigh. It seemed like he had somewhere else he'd rather be.
Asshole.
"It's fine," I rushed out. "You can go. But you have to apologise to Vin today."
"I will," he spoke. I nodded my head and got out of the car. I pressed the buzzer on the huge gate. After a few words were exchanged between me and the security guard behind the intercom, he disappeared for a minute, probably getting permission before he opened the gate.
Sebastian didn't even wait another moment before the car sped off down the street.
Something's wrong with him. He hasn't been acting normal today.
I pushed that thought out of my mind as I reached the huge double doors that were at the top of the driveway.
The door was pulled open before I even knocked as a woman I never saw before opened it. She smile warmly at me before ushering me inside. "I'm Amara," she spoke as she took me into the family room.
"I'm Liliana," I introduced myself.
"The girl who returned from the dead," she put together. I nodded my head. "Everyone's heard about you. I have to say what you said at the wedding when you crashed it was absolutely fucking amazing!"
I let out a chuckle. "I'm glad to hear that you think so! Other people weren't so happy."
She shrugged her shoulders. "Want a drink or anything to eat?" I shook my head.
"I-I came here for Dom," I told her. "Is he here?"
She nodded her head. "Yeah. He knows you're here so he won't be long. He's just finishing with some stuff."
I nodded my head. "So are you two...?"
She nodded her head. "Dating."
"I saw him in London with a kid," I said confused.
"Oh yeah," she spoke. "We went there for a little getaway. You know, everything around here was so tense since it was right before Sebastian's wedding."
"So he's got a kid? You've got a kid?"
"Yup. We've got a kid. His name is Enzo. Honestly, I thought he'd be a little troublemaker but he's the exact opposite."
"I'm really sorry," I laughed. "You probably think I'm a really nosy person. I'm not. You know, I mean, we just met and I'm asking you a bunch of questions."
She laughed it off. "I really don't mind. I love talking to people but I don't really get out much and it's kinda driving me crazy."
"Really? So you like staying in rather than going out?"
She shook her head. "I love going out. But because of the mafia, I can't really go out without looking over my shoulder all the time. I don't enjoy doing that so..."
"That's understandable. So you weren't born in a mafia?"
She shook her head. "No. Dom and I met one night after I got into some trouble with some guys."
"That's how all love stories start," I chuckled.
Suddenly, the clearing of a throat made my back stiffen. "What are you doing here, Liliana?," Dom spoke as he entered.
I stood up from where I was sat and turned to face him. "I came to patch things up with you. I want us to be okay again. Dom, I need us to be okay again."
He let out a sigh as he crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the wall. "I'll hear you out," he decided. "Five minutes is all you're getting so you better make it good."
I nodded my head and took a deep breath.
I honestly hope this mends our broken friendship.

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.
