《The Night Shift (Mike Schmidt x Reader)》11. Invasion

Fridge restocked - check.
Eat - check.
Now what? I couldn't think of anything else that I needed to get done. I guess I could clean up a little bit... Nah. I'm too lazy for that. I eventually decided to just go on a Steven Universe marathon. I opened my laptop and began watching the show.
Just as Peridot ran into Steven's bathroom, my phone buzzed. It was, of course, Mike. It was just the classic "what r u doing?", so I replied telling him about it. It eventually turned into me telling him all about my obsession with the show. He ended up recommending something called "Gravity Falls". I wasn't really into any of the Disney cartoons these days, but apparently this one was different than the rest of them.
Right as I resumed my marathon, I heard a voice from behind me. "'Sup?" It asked. I jumped out of my chair, the laptop falling from my lap. Shit, if that thing's broken...
It was Vincent. "How the hell did you get in my house?" I asked, trying not to scream. "Hmm. I have my ways," he replied. "Anyway, I heard that you had the day off. I decided to drop in for a visit."
"Vincent, get the fuck out of my house!" I yelled. He then proceeded to take the Freddy plushie off of my bed. "Hey, this is the gift the company gives new employees. You actually decided to keep it?" Vincent said, looking smug. "Yes. I love stuffed animals. Get out." I said. Vincent's usual shit-eating grin only grew wider. I pulled out my phone and quickly typed in, "Vincent in my house help" to which he replied with a shrug emoticon. Shit, he didn't know where I was. Wouldn't really make sense if he'd known where I lived.

Vincent jumped on me right as I read Mike's reply. I squealed and tried to writhe away, but his legs held me there pretty tightly. "Hmm, Mikey's been texting you? What's this about Steven..." he trailed off.
Once he was satisfied with reading through the conversation, he handed me back my phone and let me go. His grin looked a little more sincere. "Personally, Amethyst is my favorite," Vincent said. He then decided to...jump out the window.
Figures.
I let Mike know that I was alright before I once again resumed my marathon. He asked where I was, and I sent him the address of my shitty apartment building. I invited him over to watch Steven with me, and he agreed on the condition that we would watch Gravity Falls as well. Fine with me.
I leaned out the window that Vincent had jumped from. The purple man was nowhere in sight, but there was a note left on the windowsill. It simply read, "Bird Mom approves" in purple crayon.
What the hell?

His father King Bohemond and his mother Queen Renata were killed by the usurper Rancine, who is the current ruler of his home in the Middle Islands.

In order to protect the home he has grown to love, Beau must travel out of Hattan and journey to the Middle Islands to seek safety among people loyal to his father that he has never met. He must put his trust in Nasila and a hired warrior named Gavin with questionable motivations. He is afraid and unprepared to take the crown, but at least his cousin Julius is with on this harrowing journey fraught with assassins, wild mythical beast, black magic, and demons. His cousin is the only person he can truly trust, but he must take a chance and put his life in the hands of others if he plans to survive. ***This is the first long-length writing I have ever undertaken, and I wish to get some critical feedback. I am not professionally trained as a writer but I have tried my best to teach myself and make the chapters as clean as possible. I believe I have reached a point where my limited skills cannot improve the work or make any more corrections. It is very difficult to show this work, but if I do not, I fear I will never improve and learn. So here it is. To anyone who lends the time to read all of this and any of my chapters. Thank you.

8 129Anchor Points: Age of Heroes
If you had a chance to reset history, knowing what we know now, would you take it? Six years after kicking an alien expeditionary force off the surface of the Earth back to their staging bases in the asteroid belt, and aided by stolen alien technology, the United Terran Republic Navy has finally achieved enough warship production to put the enemy on the run. Despite the facade of unity projected by the Earth's new federal government, deep cracks still lie under the surface that threaten the stability of world peace and the ability to protect humanity with a unified military response. Within this backdrop, the North American Union, now a mere state in the greater union, has created or reopened multiple off-books projects and black sites to house secrets both old and new that would be far too toxic or dangerous to be known to the wider world at such a delicate stage in world history. One of these secrets will draw Captain Henry O'Toole from his comfortable posting with the Jupiter Fleet straight into a world of conspiracies and secrets that could destroy the new, still fragile world order. Captain O'Toole will take command of mankind's first true starship with a secret mission that would be seen as treason by the new federal government. His orders are to use a prototype faster than light drive to travel through dimensions higher than spacetime and ride the expansion of the universe to create an off-books colony solely for the NAU. There are consequences for escaping time's jealous grasp, which instead position them to have a chance to change the course of human history. Fate has called the Indomitable Will and her crew into the Age of Heroes, will they be able to rise to the challenge?
