Summary
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

Summary
He’s on the rooftop of some grand apartment building by the time Omen shows up, touching down silently without even the slightest noise of his wingbeats or his boots settling on the concrete. Most of the reason Cypher even knows he’s arrived is because of the fact that Omen’s presence is tangible, almost. Familiar. He feels the shift in the air and sees the slightest movement of blue in his peripheral vision and he just knows.
Cypher really should've learned by now that trying to hide from Omen will never work the way he wants it to.
(That's alright, though.)

Summary
When Killjoy glances over, it’s to the sight of Cypher leaning back in his chair to look up at Omen, one arm resting on the backrest as he flips a tripwire between his fingers, saying something. Though the mask obscures his face, Killjoy can tell that he's smiling.
Omen’s response is to tug at his hood, the jagged slashes on his face flickering and dimming slightly. Despite his lack of expressive facial features, he somehow manages to look startled when Cypher reaches forward to tap one gloved finger over the blue center of his chestplate. Yet he doesn’t push Cypher's hand away. Instead he simply catches him by the wrist, holding him there, and inclines his head in a way that seems almost like a challenge even from this distance, even though she has no idea what they're talking about.
Oh, Killjoy realizes, having pulled up to a very shocking conclusion.
That’s what this is.
Oh.
It is by an ironic twist of fate that the only person in the entire protocol that doesn’t realize Omen is flirting with Cypher is, in fact, Cypher himself.
