Chapter 2: Ace Merrill

Notes:

warnings: swearing, talk of menstruation, ace is a little bit of an asshole but it’s for the good of reader

I drove another car into the garage and set it up for ace. He smiled at me as I climbed out and popped the hood for him.

“thanks babe.” Ace said as he kissed my cheek. “Wanna work on this one?”

“Sure.” I said, smiling back at him as I secured the hood and looked into the engine. “What’s wrong with it?” There was a twinge in my stomach as I leaned into the car a little. I waved it off mentally and looked back over at ace.

“needs a new filter.” Ace shrugged. “Might as well check the oil while you’re in there.” I nodded and pulled aces tools over to me.

“what about the fan belt?” I asked. Ace moved next to me to look.

“yeah might as well change that too.” He nodded. “Let me go get it for you.” I cringed as there was another twinge of pain across my abdomen. I ran my hand across where the pain flared before leaning into the car to work on removing the parts that needed to be removed. “Parts are by the tools. I’m going to work on an oil change next to you.” Ace put his hand on my back so I didn’t jump. I nodded as I winced in pain again.

“sounds good. Thanks.” I shot him a smile and he nodded. His eyebrows furrowed before he walked over to start on the car like he said he would. Throughout the rest of work I was doing, I continued to wince and even had to bite back a soft moan of pain. Ace kept glancing over at me every time I did. “Hnng. Fuck.” I groaned and ace walked over, wiping his hands on a cloth as he grabbed the back of my coveralls, tugging me off the car.

“you’re not ok.” He said, his voice low. “What’s wrong?” I shook my head and smiled at him.

“I’m fine ace.” I tried to assure him. “Let me get back to the car.” I went to move back to the car but his grip on my collar tightened. “Ace. I’m serious.”

“you’re not fine. Everyone here can see it. Eyeball even mentioned something. And eyeball doesn’t notice anything.” I frowned at him.

“ace. I’m serious. I’m fine.” I tried to assure him. Ace sighed and let go of my collar. I went to love back to the car when ace ducked down and put his shoulder against my stomach. Standing up he tipped me over his shoulder, arm across the back of my legs. “Ace!” I cried, making some of the other mechanics look over. Eyeball and Vince started laughing as they walked ace carry me to his office. “Put me down you asshole!” I pounded on his back but it didn’t make him stop. “Merrill!”

“sit.” He said as he dumped me on the couch and gave me a pointed look. I pouted at him as he went around his desk to grab something from a drawer. He tossed me the small bottle and I caught it. I frowned at the bottle and looked back up at him. “Take those.” Ace rounded the desk again to go to the mini fridge in the corner. He pulled out a bottle of water and handed it to me as he sat down next to me.

“pain killers?” I asked as I did what he said. “Why do you have pain killers in your desk?” Ace gave me a wicked grin. “What aren’t you telling me ace? Did you get hurt?” I started to look him over, bottle shaking in my hand as I ran my hand over his arm. Ace caught my hand and pressed a kiss to the back of it.

“they aren’t for me.” He assured me. “They’re for you. That drawer is yours. Didn’t you see me unlock it?” I shook my head. “Well it’s locked. I have a key. I’ll get you one made. But come here. Look.” He pulled me up and unlocked the drawer again. Ace waited for me to open it and I looked over at him with a soft smile.

“ace.” I breathed out as I sat in his chair to rifle through the drawer.

“it’s everything you need for…uh…that time of the month.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “I know I’m not the best talking about it. Or even waiting for it to end.” He chuckled and I rolled my eyes with a smile. “But you always hurt when it comes round. And I don’t like seeing you hurt.” Ace pulled me back up and wrapped his arms around me, casually taking the bottle and dropping it back into the drawer. “Eyeball mentioned once that you accidentally bled through your coveralls. Whenever someone asked he said you sat in paint. And I vaguely remembered washing them out later so you wouldn’t be embarrassed.” I looked at him and tried to think through when that happened.

“I…I don’t remember that.” I admitted. Ace smiled.

“good.” He leaned his head against mine. “As embarrassing as that has to be, I’m glad you have no idea what I’m talking about. So I stocked up on what you have at your place and what you left at mine. I figured it covered everything.” Ace handed me the key, kissing me softly. “In case you need anything else today. And take the next couple days off. Relax. Sleep. I know you feel exhausted sometimes. Just…” he shrugged and kissed me again. “We’ll cuddle when we get home and wash up.” I nodded and laughed.

“and to think most guys would be embarrassed about this. More than me finding out I bled through my coveralls.” I said, cupping his cheek. “Thank you.” Ace smiled and tugged me closer.

“of course. It’s the least I can do.” He pressed a kiss to my cheek. “Anything for you sweets.”

Chapter 3: Dan Fielding

Notes:

warnings: mention of menstruation, swearing, blood

I yawned as I checked the alarm clock. It was too early for me to be up so I ventured into the bathroom to get a drink of water. I could hear Dan stirring before I heard the bedding being removed. I put the cup back and walked back into the room. The sheets were in a pile in the corner and Dan was putting on new ones. I watched him curiously before he looked up and smiled at me.

“hey.” He said, his smile soft. I smiled back at him and raised an eyebrow.

“hey. What’s up with this?” I asked, waving a hand in the direction of the sheets. Dan blushed slightly as he glanced over.

“you uh…” he chuckled and shook his head. “You started. I’m gonna finish the sheets and throw those in the washer. Whatever you need is under the sink.” I furrowed my eyebrows before checking the date on the clock.

“oh. Shit.” I said softly. “I’m so sorry Dan. I didn’t realize…” Dan climbed over the bed and put his hands on my shoulders. Kissing me gently, he squeezed my shoulders.

“don’t apologize. It’s normal. It’s not a lot on the sheets. Just a little.” Dan assured me. “Go. Take care of yourself. You can borrow a pair of boxers if you need em. Just toss what has blood on them out the door. I’ll throw them in with the sheets.” I nodded and kissed him gently.

“I don’t deserve you.” I whispered before heading into the bathroom. I checked under the sink and had to press a hand over my mouth to quiet the gasp I let out. He had everything I normally used and then some. I quickly grabbed what I needed and set about cleaning myself up. “Dan?” I called as I sat on the toilet. He opened the door slightly and tossed a pair of boxers in to me. “Thanks!” I called back with a laugh. Slipping them on, I made sure that I had put two pads in them before getting up. I grabbed the painkillers and took them before heading back out.

“you feeling alright?” Dan asked as he walked back in. I nodded as I walked over to hug him.

“yeah. I took some painkillers just in case though. This way I don’t wake you up again.” I said as I ran a hand down his back. “I didn’t mean to wake you up by the way.” Dan shrugged.

“I always wake up when you get out of bed.” He admitted. “It’s nothing you do. I’m just used to having you in bed next to me that when you aren’t…” Dan shrugged again.

“aren’t you romantic?” I teased as I kissed him. Dan hummed as I pulled away.

“I try my best. Now come on. Back to bed.” He ushered me into the bed, pulling me close as I wrapped my arm around his waist.

“thank you again Dan.” I whispered as he turned the light back out. “You…you didn’t have to and I didn’t expect you to…but thank you.” Dan kissed my nose.

“it’s the least I could do.” Dan whispered back.

“No it’s not. The least would be having a box of pads in your cabinet.” I cut him off. “You went above and beyond with what you have in that cabinet. Pain killers. Pads. A heating pad. Dan, that is fully stocked.” He blushed again before ducking his head.

“did I get the right stuff?” He finally asked after turning out the light and burrowing under the blankets with me. I nodded even though he couldn’t see me in the dark.

“yeah.” I confirmed. “Just another reason why I don’t deserve you Dan fielding.”

Chapter 4: Jacob Stone

Notes:

warnings: swearing, mention of menstruation

I pulled the blanket tighter around me after taking some more painkillers. I winced as there was a tinge of pain in my abdomen before settling back against the couch. Jake walked back in at that moment and smiled at me.

“want a new movie on?” He asked as he set down the cup of tea I had asked for on the coffee table. I nodded. “Any requests?”

“Not really.” I said as I shifted the blankets. “Just not something too sad or scary.” Jake nodded as he put on a movie we hadn’t watched in a while. I leaned forward and winced at the pain but picked up the cup anyway and took a sip.

“feeling better?” Jake asked as he sat down next to me.

“a little. Still sore though.” I admitted as I leaned back against him. Jake wrapped his arm around me and kissed my head. “This is making me feel better mentally though.” I turned to kiss jake and he rubbed my arm through the blankets.

“good.” About ten minutes later, I moved to get up. “What’s wrong?”

“nothing. Just need to go to the bathroom.” Jake nodded as he let me up. “Uh jake? Are there any…pads…in the uh…” jake nodded and got up.

“yeah.” Taking my hand, jake led me to the bathroom. “Now uh…well. I’m a…I’m just a country boy but let me tell you, i know how to treat my partner properly.” He teased. Jake opened the closet and gestured to the shelf in front of us. “Pads stocked up. Heating pad in the back. Towels in case you need them for whatever. And there are some bath supplies I saw online that might help with cramps. I don’t know if you want to use them or if they are even going to help but I figured if they might help they were worth getting.” I leaned over and kissed jake on the cheek.

“I’ll try them later. Thank you jake. I mean it. But you need to get out.” I laughed as I gently pushed him out of the door. Jake laughed and held his hands up as he let me shove him out. When I finished up, I headed back out to the living room. Jake had thrown the blanket over his legs and held it open for me when I went to sit down. “Thank you. Again. For all of it.”

“its nothing.” Jake shrugged. “If you ever need anything in there let me know. To fill it back up or get something new. Doesn’t matter. I’ll get it.” Leaning back against him, jake wrapped his arms around me and covered me with the blanket.

Chapter 5: Jenkins

Notes:

warnings: mention of menstruation, swearing

The couch was pushed up as close to the fireplace as Jenkins dared. There was a pile of books stacked up next to the couch. I was curled up in Jenkins arms as he softly read to me. Every so often he’d lean over and kiss my forehead.

“feeling any better?” He whispered. I shook my head.

”still sore.” I mumbled. “Cramps haven’t gone away no matter what I do.” Jenkins leaned his head against mine again. “This is nice though.” He chuckled before putting the book to the side.

“oh I’d imagine.” Jenkins wrapped his arms around me tightly. “What can I do to help you? Hmm? There has to be something.” I shrugged and sighed contentedly as I pressed my face into his neck. Jenkins moved his hand to gently rub my abdomen. “I have tea. I think the one you said helped is in the cabinet in my room.” I nodded against him.

“heating pad too please.” I whimpered as I curled in on myself. “And pain killers. Like a lot of pain killers. All the pain killers we have.” Jenkins sighed, standing up and easing me back along the couch. He tucked a blanket around me before brushing some hair out of my hair.

“I’ll bring you the correct dosage of pain killers.” He said softly. “Heating pad and tea too.” Jenkins kissed my forehead before straightening back up. “Then we can continue reading.” I nodded and whimpered as he set off to his room. Curling in on myself more, I breathed out slowly and counted the seconds before I heard the tea tray that signaled Jenkins coming back. I lifted my head and he gave me a tight lipped smile as he set the tray down and handed me the heating pad. I moved it into position after sitting up and turned it on. Breathing a sigh of relief, I took the offered tea cup and bottle of pain killers.

“thank you.” I whispered. “Now come back here.” Jenkins sat back down and pulled me against him. I settled against him and waited for him to pick the book back up. “No reading?” I asked.

“not yet.” Jenkins said as he pulled the blanket over us. “Finish your tea and then we can start again.” I nodded before draining the tea pot. Turning the heating pad off, I smiled softly at Jenkins.

“that definitely helped.” I breathed out.

“you know what this makes me want to do?” Jenkins smiled and nodded, pulling me back against him as he laid out on the couch. I shrugged as I laid my head on his chest. “Relax for the first time in days. Between that rambunctious group and…this…” Jenkins sighed as I moved my hand up to rest on his chest. “This is the first moment I’ve had to just sit and do nothing.”

“but you’re not doing nothing. You’re taking care of me.” I pointed out. Jenkins kissed my head and rubbed my back.

“taking care of you is relaxing to me. It’s not work.” He clarified. “I like taking care of you. And I will always take care of you.” Jenkins tilted my chin up and pressed a lingering kiss to my lips.

“thank you for taking care of me.” I whispered against his lips. He smiled at me before kissing me sweetly again.

Chapter 6: Norman Osborn

Notes:

warnings: mention of smut, menstruation, swearing

Norman crawled up the bed and over my body as I giggled, arms held out for him. The grin on my face matched his as he hovered above me before pressing his lips to mine in a passionate kiss. Norman’s hands started to roam as I tangled my fingers in his hair. Moaning, I pulled away and let him start kissing and sucking on my neck. Norman giggled against my neck and tugged on his hair. Moaning again, I tried to pull him off me.

“Norman.” I breathed out, scrunching my nose up as pain flared in my abdomen. “Norman.” I let go of his hair and pushed on his shoulders. “Norman.” He finally pulled back and looked down at me.

“What?” He asked, eyes roaming my face to see why I stopped him. “What’s wrong?”

“I…my stomach…I think…” I stuttered out as another cramp rolled through me. “Oh shit.” I breathed out as I curled in on myself. Norman sat back on his heels and stared at me transfixed. “Bottom shelf. There’s a box, a bottle and a wash cloth.” I waved my hand in the direction of Norman’s en suite. “Turn the water as hot as it can go and stick the washcloth under it. Bring me the box and bottle. Then go back and get the wash cloth.” Norman nodded and sprung into action as I moaned in pain again.

“box.” Norman pressed the box into my arm and pried my hand off my side. “Bottle.” He pressed a kiss to my head before going back for the washcloth. I heard him put a cup down on the nightstand before he gently rolled me onto my back. Norman took my pants off and, lifting my legs up, slipped a bath towel under me before peeling my underwear back and laying the hot washcloth against my abdomen. “I know it hurts but you need to sit up. Once you take those pills and drink some water, you can lay back down.” Norman softly coaxed me. I did as he asked, squeezing his hand tightly as I did. “I know. I know.” He soothed, brushing some hair off my face as I took the pain killers.

“hurts.” I mumbled as I wrapped my arms around myself again. Norman nodded and sat by my head, letting me press my head against his thigh.

“I know.” He whispered, running his fingers through my hair. “I know.” We sat in silence for a bit while waiting for the painkillers and hot cloth to go to work. “Whenever you’re ready, I’ve got clothes for you to change into. I can help you change or if you don’t want me there I can go get these cleaned.” I nodded weakly against Norman’s leg.

“just wanna lay here for a bit longer.” I breathed out. Norman nodded above me and rubbed my back. “Sorry for ruining the mood.” Norman chuckled before gently turning my head to look up at him.

“you didn’t ruin the mood. It happens. It’s natural.” He shrugged as he smiled down at me. “Honestly we can always pick up where we left off anyway once the pain goes away.” I made a face at him. “Oh don’t tell me you’ve never heard an orgasm helps with pain.” Norman laughed as I made another face at him. “I’ll wear a condom if that makes you feel better.” I have Norman a dirty look. “Alright. Alright. I’ll drop it. But I’m just saying it’s on the table.”

“Norman Osborn.” I groaned as I sat up. “You say the sweetest things to your bloated, in pain, and slightly pissed off partner.” Norman laughed as he kissed me softly. “Thank you.” I whispered as he pulled back. Norman brushed a finger down my cheek and kissed me again.

“you don’t need to thank me.” He assured me. “I’d do it for you any day.” I smiled at him as he got off the bed. “And seeing as you’re sitting up, I think that’s my que to go gets these clothes clean while you change.” Norman got off the bed and helped me stand up next to the bed. “You good?” I nodded. Grabbing Norman’s arm as he turned away, he looked at me with raised eyebrows. “I love you.” He smiled at me and blushed slightly.

“I love you too.” He whispered. Grabbing my discarded clothes, Norman darted to the bedroom door and looked back at me with a smile before leaving.

Chapter 7: Ian Malcolm

Notes:

warnings: mention of menstruation, swearing

Ian and I walked into the convention center arm in arm. I was looking at the itinerary for the lectures while Ian looked over where everything was.

“thank god it’s only one day we have to be here.” Ian pointed out when I showed him that he would have to attend at least four lectures before his lecture even took place. He rubbed his forehead with his free hand before taking off his sunglasses. “Next time I’m just going to agree to my own lecture and we can sneak away before we get roped into anything else.” Ian pulled me close and playfully bit my ear.

”Ian.” I laughed. “For fucks sake! We’re in public.” Ian pulled away and pulled me into a searing kiss.

“screw public.” He teased. “Anyway what are these lectures on anyway?” His head fell against mine as he looked over the paper in my hands.

“Well there is one lecture you won’t get out of.” I pointed out. Ian frowned as I pointed it out. “Led by one Dr. Ellie satler?” Ian sighed and nodded.

“right. The one I agreed to come to months ago and have always found an excuse to miss.” He pouted. “She finally managed to tie me down.” I playfully shoved him.

“shut up Ian. It won’t have anything to do with jurassic park as far as I know. Just something to do with her research on…something.” I laughed. I felt Ian lean some of his weight against me as he sagged in relief. “Now come on. Someone is giving a lecture on chaos theory and you need to be there for that.” I pulled him in the direction of the auditorium and grabbed some seats as far back as we dared.

Ian sat with his hand on my thigh, fingers playing with the hem of my pants. I had to grab his hand a few times to stop him from inching closer to my crotch. I shifted uncomfortably a few times and Ian looked over at me with a raised eyebrow. I waved him off each time and breathed a sigh of relief as I stood up at the end of the lecture.

“god that was long.” I said as I stretched.

“uh (Y/N)?” Ian said softly. I looked over my shoulder at him. Ian’s gaze was fixed on my ass and I almost smacked him until I turned fully to look. “Do you have a change of clothes?” His eyes jumped up to mine and I shook my head.

“I mean technically. But all I packed this weekend was light clothes.” I said, surprised by how calm I was with this. “Figured with the amount of people, and the natural light in this place, it’d be cooler.” Ian nodded.

“I have a change of clothes in the car. It’ll be big on you but it’s black and no matter what happens at least it will cover it up.” Ian stood up and wrapped his jacket around my waist, making it look like he was hugging me from behind so no one else noticed I had bled through the back of my pants. “I’ve got some pads packed too.” I nodded as I leaned back against him.

“you always think ahead.” I murmured as we followed the crowd that was exiting the auditorium. “Why do you have pads in your car?” I asked, looking over my shoulder at him again.

“in case of times like this.” He whispered before kissing my cheek. “Wait here. I’ll run out and grab it.” Ian left me by the bathroom and ran out to the car. He came back with a bag and ushered me into the bathroom. When I came back, I handed him the bag back. “Better?” I nodded. “Ok. Go to the next lecture and I’ll run these to the hotel to soak so they don’t stain.” I nodded and pulled Ian into a kiss. “What was that for?” He asked, eyeing me slightly as I pushed him away.

“for being the best partner ever.” I said with a smile. Ian smiled back and walked backwards out of the convention hall while I watched. Once he was gone, I headed to the next lecture to wait for him to come back.

Chapter 8: Ray Stantz

Notes:

warnings: mention of menstruation, swearing

“What do you want to eat?” Ray asked as soon as he walked in the door. I looked up from my spot on the couch as he came over to kiss me. “Anything in particular?” I shook my head.

“Not really hungry.” I said with a sad smile. “Cramps been killing me all day. Finally got them to subside a little.” Ray nodded as he put his hand on my abdomen and gently rubbed circles where he knew the pain would be.

“I’ll order for delivery.” Ray said as he pulled me into him. “Eat what you want and I’ll pack the rest away for leftovers.” I nodded as I laid my head on his chest. “What sounds better Chinese or pizza?” I made a noise and Ray chewed his lip. “Ok. Uh…hold on. You need to get off me a second.” I pulled away as he stood up to grab the take out menus from the kitchen. He grabbed the phone after pausing and sat back down next to me. “Ok. Get back here.” Ray held his arms out for me and I happily took my spot again. Rubbing my arm absently as he looked through the menus, Ray hummed quietly. “Mexican or Indian?”

“tacos.” I agreed, sneaking a peek at the menu in his hand. Ray nodded and dialed the number to order our usual. He absentmindedly played with my hair as he ordered, chin propped on my head as I burrowed deeper into his chest. I squeezed him around his middle and angled my hips to press against his stomach. Ray looked down to see what I was doing, smiling softly at me as I tried to get closer to his warmth. Ray shifted so I could lay on him, making sure that I got what I needed. I hummed appreciatively and pressed a kiss to his neck. Ray wrapped an arm around my back to keep me in place and hung up.

“they’ll be here in twenty minutes.” He whispered. I nodded. “I’ll pay this time.” Ray dug his fingers into the small of my back and I breathed out in relief. “Feeling better?” I pulled back to look at him.

“a bit yeah.” I agreed. “Sorry about the wiggling and repositioning and everything.” Ray laughed and pulled me in for a kiss.

“sweetheart, you do what you need to.” He assured me, rubbing his thumb over my cheek. “If I’m the heating pad you need then use me.” I laughed and let my head fall on his shoulder. Ray hugged me tightly and we both groaned when the door bell rang. “Fuck. I’ll get it.” Ray gently shifted me off him and went to answer the door.

“oh shit! You’re one of the ghostbusters aren’t you?” Ray smiled at the kid and gave him an autograph. He took the bag of food and paid the kid. When he finally closed the door, I gave him a smile.

“a ghostbuster? You’re my hero!” I teased as I held my hand out for my order. Ray rolled his eyes and put the bag on the coffee table. Digging through it, we split the food. Ray eyed the small amount I took before starting on his own. After a while, I grimaced and put the leftovers back in the bag.

“You ok?” Ray asked quietly. I shook my head and he balanced his food on the arm of the couch. “Come here.” Ray let me climb back into his lap and curl up against him. Ray grabbed his food again and continued eating as I started to drift off. I woke up again in his arms, being carried to the bedroom. “Shh. It’s ok. Just taking you to bed.” I nodded and leaned my head against his shoulder.

“take a bath with me?” I asked sleepily. “Been on the couch all day.” Ray paused for a second. “It’ll help with the cramps.” Ray nodded and started walking again. Setting me down on the counter, he drew the bath and put everything I normally put in. He helped me strip and gently put me in the tub. I curled around myself and watched as Ray got undressed. He carefully climbed in behind me and pulled me back against him. I turned to give him a kiss and he hummed against my lips. “Thank you.”

Chapter 9: Emmett (Quiet Place)

Notes:

warnings: swearing, mention of menstruation, quiet place monsters mentioned

I bit my hand to stifle the groan that was trying to rip out of my throat. Emmett paused and looked back at me. I shook my head, teeth still clamped down on my hand. With my other hand, I slid it down my stomach and paused before pushing in. Emmett nodded in understanding and looked around.

“two blocks.” He mouthed. I nodded and we set off again. It wasn’t long until we spotted the corner store.

“Wait here.” I mouthed and Emmett shook his head. I glared at him and he lifted up the shotgun. His eyebrows went up and I looked away. He was right but I didn’t want to admit it to him. Turning around, I walked into the store with Emmett trialing behind me in case a creature jumped out. There were no creatures and I went up and down the aisles looking for what I needed. Frowning, I grabbed the very last box and read the packaging. I wouldn’t make it through the week. But unless we ventured out even further than we already were, this was all I was going to get. Emmett carefully held out a pill bottle towards me and I nodded in thanks.

“I’ll watch.” Emmett mouthed while I went to the bathroom to get situated. I froze at the sound of the wrapper and nearly dove to turn on the sink. A small sigh of relief came out and I carefully did what I needed to do. When I was done, I turned off the water and went back out to Emmett. I nodded at him and we headed back to the refinery. “That won’t last you long.” Emmett pointed out once we’d gotten safely inside.

“I know.” I sighed as I leaned my shoulder against his. “And unless we want to go two towns over, this is the last we’ll find.”

“fuck.” Emmett groaned. “It’s dangerous as it is going to the edge of town. Going through two towns is worse. Especially since they’re now strange towns.” I winced at his tone.

“I know you don’t like this idea,” I said softly. Emmett stared at me and his eyes grew hard. “But we’ve reached the point of all or nothing. We can ransack the abandoned houses.” Emmett shook his head.

“no. There’s no telling what we’ll find.” He said, his tone firm. I nodded, looking down in my lap and shifting so I was more comfortable. “Look, we’ll figure something out. I promise.” He kissed the side of my head. I nodded and leaned further back against him.

Chapter 10: Chandler Bing

Notes:

warnings: mention of menstruation, swearing

I walked into chandler and joeys apartment and slammed the door. Chandler looked up from his spot in front of the tv and eyed me carefully.

“you idiot!” I groaned. Chandler looked around confused and stood up. He carefully made his way to me and put his hands on my arms. When i didnt pull away, he started to rub them.

“I’m sure you’re right but why?” He asked. I frowned as I looked at him before cupping his cheeks and kissing him gently.

“Not you. Me.” I assured him. “I just…I didn’t pay attention to the date.” Chandler froze under my hands for a second.

“hold on. Nope I remembered this one. I told you happy anniversary this morning. I got you flowers.” He broke away to grab the bouquet that was already in a vase. “I made the reservations.” I nodded with a fond smile. “And I know you didn’t forget it either because I’ve done a lot to remind you. So how does you forgetting the…OH.” Chandler broke off and came back to hug me. “Right. You doing ok?” He pulled me close to him and pushed my head onto his shoulder. I nodded against him and buried my head in his neck.

“yeah.” I mumbled. “I mean sore. And I feel like I want to cry. And I had to work with cramps for like half the day because they had me on register but like I’m ok.” Chandler kissed my head and leaned his cheek against me.

“we can cancel the reservations. Stay in bed and just…hang out.” Chandler offered. “Lay in the lounger and watch tv.” I nodded and we pulled away long enough to lay out in the lounger. “I love you.” He whispered as he tugged me closer.

“I love you too.” I whispered back as I curled up against him.

Chapter 11: Severus Snape

Notes:

warnings: mention of menstruation, swearing

I groaned as I got up from the couch where I had been lounging with Severus. He furrowed his eyebrows as he watched me but I smiled softly at him before heading into the bathroom. I groaned again, louder this time, as I realized what the cramping had foreshadowed. I scourgified my clothes and hung my head.

“Severus!” I called. There was a gentle knock on the door and Severus peaked his head in. “I can’t stay the night. I’m going to floo back to my chambers.”

“What on earth for?” He asked. His face morphed into something more concerned and I smiled at him.

“I’ve started and I don’t have any supplies with me.” I said softly. Severus nodded slowly before coming into the room fully. “Hey.” I teased. He rolled his eyes at me before shifting through his cabinet.

“these what you need?” He asked as he showed me a package. I raised my eyebrows and nodded. Severus opened the package and pulled out what I needed before handing it to me. “I’ll get a pain relief potion from my stores and something to help you sleep later.” He said, almost mumbling to himself. I watched him in awe as he left the room, leaving me to my own devices. I hurried to take care of myself before heading back into the main room.

“wow.” I breathed when Severus returned with the two potion bottles and a warm water bottle. He raised an eyebrow at me as he helped me get situated again.

“Drink this.” He held out the pain relief potion to me and I did as he said, feeling my cramps let up instantly. I chuckled and shook my head. “What?” Severus asked.

“nothing just…I’m imagining all the slytherins coming to you for monthly supplies.” I snickered. Severus rolled his eyes at me. “You know I always thought you would have been the worst head of house to go to.”

“really?” He asked, raising an eyebrow at me. I nodded.

“yeah. I mean I never had to but flickwit always just sent me to McGonagall or sprout.” I shrugged, smirking at him. “And I mainly interacted with them because I always had their classes first thing in the morning.” Severus chuckled and shook his head at me.

“well I’m glad to have pleasantly surprised you.” He said, pressing a kiss to the top of my head and burying his nose in my hair. “When that one wears off let me know. I’ll get another one.” I nodded against him and closed my eyes as I listened to his heartbeat.

“if I had known you were kinder and more considerate than the others, you would have been my first choice every time.” I whispered. Severus smiled and kissed my head again.

“I would have been honored.” He whispered back.

Chapter 12: Rusty Jennings

Notes:

warnings: mention of menstruation, swearing

I looked at my phone as I waited for a text or call from rusty. It had been a few hours since I heard from him and I knew he was running a job right now but the pain in my gut was making my thoughts run rampant. And not in a good way. So I picked up the phone and called him.

“hello?” Rusty answered. I let out a sigh of relief and slumped against the wall. “(Y/N)? Everything alright?”

“Yeah. Sorry. I just…” I breathed out a sigh of relief again that turned into a breathless giggle. “I’m just all over the place. Hormones and shit.” I ran my hand through my hair and closed my eyes. “Thoughts are kind of…”

“I get it. I know how you get.” Rusty said, a smile clear through his tone. “Why don’t you come up here? Let me love on you a little.”

“you’re in the middle of a job right?” I asked, worried I’d be walking into something I didn’t want to be a part of.

“Yeah. But they don’t need much. Everything is going smoothly.” Rusty said, slight rustling on the other line. “Come over. I’ve missed you.” I smiled at the soft tone he’d switched over to.

“I’ve missed you too.” I admitted. “You’ve spent too long on your ops rusty. We need a proper date night.”

“yeah.” He sighed. I heard the tell tale scratch of him running his hand over his beard. “When this one is done and you’re back to normal we should go out. Do something big.” I bit my lip and nodded.

“I’d like that.” I agreed. “I’m packing a bag now. See you soon rusty.” I started putting together a bag as I heard rusty shift through papers.

“I’m pulling out now. See you at the house.” He confirmed. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” I whispered before hanging up and making my way to his camp. I leaned out the window of my truck when I got to the check point. “Hey Mitch. Rusty’s expecting me.” I said. Mitch nodded and waved me through, radioing ahead so the other boys wouldn’t give me a hard time. I parked the truck in front of the house and climbed out, slinging my backpack on my shoulder as I walked towards the back of the house. Most of the men on the compound nodded at me as they passed by. “Rusty!” I called as I rounded the corner and climbed up to the porch.

“(Y/N)!” Rusty said, coming over and hugging me. “How are you feeling?” I shrugged as he let me go, hands sliding to the small of my back.

“been better. Been worse.” I muttered. “Took some pain killers before I came up.” Rusty nodded before leaning down and kissing me.

“good. I was just going to suggest that.” He whispered as he pulled away. I smiled at him and wrapped my arms around his neck.

“you mentioned wanting to love on me a little.” I mentioned. Rusty nodded, smiling softly at me. “Wanna do that?” Rusty stooped down suddenly and hooked his arms under my knees, pulling me up with him as he stood. I laughed as he used his knee to scoot me further up into his arms. Rusty kissed me again before carrying me into the house. He kicked the door closed and made his way up to his bedroom.

“I hope you know I meant taking care of you. Not…” rusty said as he kicked the door open. I played with his hair and nodded. “Ok. Good. I know you always talked about the guys were with before wanting to…” he rolled his eyes and I giggled with another nod. “I just wanted you to know I wasn’t…” he shrugged as he laid me on his bed.

“I know.” I assured him, reaching up to cup his cheek. Rusty leaned into it and turned to kiss my palm. “You’ve proven that time and again.” Rusty climbed into the bed next to me. “So, what does this loving look like?” Rusty pulled me into him and wrapped his arms around me.

“well I was thinking we could cuddle and watch some tv for a while. I could make you something to eat.” He said, rubbed his thumb over my hip. “We could talk. I know your mind drifts when you go through this and your anxiety flares up. We could make out. Maybe play a game later. Whatever you want.” I smiled at him and turned my head to kiss him. Rusty hummed as I ran my fingers through his beard.

“I like the sound of all of that honestly.” I said with a smile. Rusty nodded and reached over for the remote. He handed it to me and watched as I picked some random movie to watch.

“good choice.” Rusty muttered when I finally settled on something. Putting the remote to the side, rusty let me curl up against him with my head on his chest and our legs tangled together.

“thank you for this.” I whispered as I burrowed deeper into his chest. “I know you had an op to run…” rusty cut me off with a kiss.

“no op is ever more important than you. I’ll drop everything if I have to. Just to take care of you.” He assured me when he pulled away. I smiled softly at him before settling against him and taking in the movie.

Chapter 13: Prime Minister David

Notes:

warnings: swearing, mention of menstruation

David knocked on the door and I groaned. He opened it a crack and waved his hand through. I smiled despite the pain rolling through me.

“hello. Just checking in. Anything I can do?” He asked through the door. I bit my lip and hugged myself tightly.

“I need more…products.” I forced out. “I’ve run out and I’m not entire sure…”

“Of course. Of course.” David cut me off. “I’ll just have a staffer…” I could hear him trying to grab someone. “Can you text me a list? Or I can come in and get one? Just what you need.”

“yeah. There’s a list on the nightstand. Top drawer.” I called out. David snapped his fingers and pointed into the bathroom, making me laugh despite the pain.

“be right back. I’ll draw you a bath. And we can relax.” He called back before disappearing into the halls of Downing Street. I curled in on myself as the pain increased. There was another knock before David entered fully. “Hello. I know. You don’t like me seeing you like this. But I just…” David pointed at the tub and smiled bashfully. I waved him on with a roll of my eyes.

“Yeah. I get it.” I said. David cast me a worried glance before turning his attention to the tub. He turned it on and added the soaps that he knew I liked. He also started adding things he knew would help ease the pain. David walked over and offered me a hand.

“Come on. Up you get. Into the tub with you.” He said, smiling softly at me. I took his hand and let him pull me up. Kissing me softly, David moved to undress me. He moved slowly and kept his touches feather light.

“you’re being sweet.” I mentioned as I started to unbutton his shirt. David shrugged and let me push the shirt off his shoulders. “I don’t mind it. Just…” David kissed my cheek and took my hand as we finished undressing each other. “I feel like crap. And a little like I don’t deserve it.” David cupped my cheeks and kissed me softly. I kept my eyes closed as he pulled away.

“I love you.” David assured me and he ran his hands down my arms until he held my hands, gently pulling me towards the tub. “That means even when you feel like crap. Even when you don’t feel like you deserve it. Because you deserve it more than you know, especially at times like this. So, let’s get in the tub. And we can relax together.” I nodded as he helped me into the tub.

“ok David.” I mumbled as I sat down into the hot water. He climbed in behind me and wrapped his arms around me tightly. “Thank you.” I whispered as I tucked myself under his chin. David hummed as his hand wandered down my abdomen, gently kneeding the flesh there.

“anything for you darling. Anything.” He pressed a kiss to my forehead. “You know, it took me so long because it took three people to finally agree to go out and get you everything. Granted I should have asked Natalie first but the other two didn’t want to go. Said they wouldn’t buy their girlfriends that stuff so why did they need to buy it for you.” I could hear the eye roll in his tone.

“I bet you would have run out and got it yourself if they didn’t require you to take a copper.” I teased. David chuckled and gently tickled me.

“I would have.” He agreed anyway. “I used to. Do you remember how you called to cancel our second date because of it? And I practically forced the answer out of you to find out why you didn’t want to see me.” I nodded and tilted my head to look at him.

“and when I finally said why you went out and bought everything I needed. You even bought a heating pad, blankets, and my favorite movies just so I would come over.” I said with a smile. David nodded.

“and you spent the night. We slept on the couch.” He smiled back at me. “I’ve taken care of you ever since.” I nodded. “Natalie said she’d be a bit. Given that it’s the holiday season I believe it. She’s going to leave the bag in our room.” I nodded against him. “I don’t believe I have anything scheduled tomorrow. We can spend the day in bed, watching tv if you want.”

“that sounds lovely actually.” I admitted. David nodded.

“then that’s what we’ll do.” He said before kissing my temple again.

Chapter 14: Flynn Carsen

Notes:

warnings: swearing, mention of blood and menstruation

I sat in the chair Jenkins had brought into the annex, knees tucked up to my chest as I looked over the information Cassandra had brought in. The clippings book lay open on her most recent mission. It had been quiet since she got back. Everyone finally had a moment to relax. The pain in my gut made me lean my head against my knees. A soft hand on my back made me breathe out shakily.

“I’m ok.” I said, lifting my head to meet jenkins’ eye. “I’m ok.” He nodded as Flynn came bounding into the room.

“Hello.” He said, smiling at Jenkins and kissing me on the cheek. I gave him a shaky smile as Jenkins withdrew to his section of the table.

“hi.” I whispered as Flynn perched on the arm of the chair. “What’s got you back so soon? Thought you were still looking for the library.” He shrugged as he tried to get me to lean into him. Instead, I winced and got up quickly. Realizing my mistake, I wrapped my arms around myself and hurried off to the bathroom. I could just hear Flynn ask Jenkins what was wrong with me.

“they’ve been in so much pain they’re nauseous.” I heard Jenkins say. I made it to the bathroom and pulled the trash can closer just in case. I inspected my jeans as I sat on the toilet, willing everything to stop. I frowned when I saw a patch of red on my underwear and slowly shuffled my way out of the soiled garments. Opening the door under the sink, I smiled to myself to see the replacement pairs the annex knew I needed.

“thanks.” I whispered to the empty room. After the pain and nausea had passed, I left the bathroom and made my way back. “Sorry.” I muttered as I took up my previous position. Flynn wrapped his arms around me from behind and kissed my head. Jenkins smiled softly at me and left the room.

“I’m going to say it aloud. Since we both know it.” Flynn started. “I don’t have much experience with this. My relationships never really turned this serious or lasted long enough that I…” he cleared his throat awkwardly. I rubbed his hand where it rested on my collarbone. “Jenkins filled me in. Why are you still working here if you are in that much pain? Go home. I would have come to you.”

“everyone else needed me.” I responded. “Jake is checking into something on his own. Ezekiel needs someone to stop him from stealing every priceless artifact. Cassandra…” I trailed off. “Jenkins always needs help cataloging and researching. Eve went off looking for you. And you…” Flynn kissed my head. “Someone had to be here to keep the light burning.”

“we’re going home.” He said softly. “Come on. Jenkins already fixed the door.” I took his hand and stood up slowly. “You’re going to have to help me through your routine and making sure that you feel ok. But I’m willing to do whatever it takes to help.” I nodded as Flynn set the dial and our apartment appeared on the other side of the door.

“thank you.” I muttered as Flynn and I walked through, being forced to bed as soon as we closed the door. Flynn kissed me softly again before running off to get whatever it was Jenkins had told him would help.

Chapter 15: Nelson Wright

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation, talk of Nelson’s experiment

I curled up more on Nelson’s couch and flipped through the channels. A bowl of chips sat in front of me and I occasionally grabbed some. I looked at the clock and smiled softly. Nelson would be done with classes soon. A few minutes later the door to the apartment opened and Nelson walked through.

“honey I’m home.” He sighed as he saw me on the couch. Walking over, he dropped his books and coat on the side table before kissing my head. Reaching over he grabbed some chips before sitting down next to me. I curled into his side as he threw his arm over my shoulders. “How are you feeling?” He asked after a minute.

“Crampy. Sore. A little hungry.” I shrugged. “That’s what the chips are for. I had a big lunch but I’m still hungry. So snacks.” Nelson nodded.

“yeah well a major organ is trying to purge itself so…” Nelson muttered as he pulled the bowl closer. “Last time you took pain killers?”

“half an hour ago.” I said, used to his line of questioning.

“use the heating pad today?” I shook my head. He nodded, cataloging my responses in his head. “Hot shower or bath?”

“took an extra hot shower this morning. Not long after you left for class.” I said. Nelson squeezed my shoulder. “How was class?”

“boring as fuck. The whole time I kept thinking of coming back and cuddling with you.” He complained. “Rachel wanted to invite you out for drinks. I got you out of it though.” I nodded my thanks. “Probably a double date with Horatio.”

“there’s nothing wrong with a double date with them once in a while.” I said. Nelson groaned.

“I’m fine with him. It’s her that sends me down the damn rabbit hole.” His head fell against mine. “Ever since the experiment, she’s been an uptight bitch. More so than she was before. It’s like everyone forgot the lesson that fucking experiment ended up teaching us already.”

“I’m sure she has her reasons.” I said. Nelson shot me a look.

“I’m going to chalk that up to the hormones.” He said. I laughed as I ran my fingers through his hair. Nelson let his head fall against mine. “Just please get me out of anything that she tries to set up with the four of us.”

“I’ll do my best.” I promised.

“good.” He muttered. “Now let’s just get you feeling better. Anything I can do?” I shook my head.

“thanks Nelson but not really. Nothing that doesn’t involve a medical procedure neither one of us really want at the moment.” I said. Nelson snorted and I smiled at him. “But I won’t turn down some cuddling if you feel up to it.” He nodded, kissing my nose.

“yeah. I’m always feeling up to cuddles.” He said before pulling me tight against his chest.

Chapter 16: Norman Bates

Notes:

warnings: mention of blood, mention of mother, menstruation

My head snapped up when I heard a small crashing noise come from the bedroom. Pulling up my pants, I made to move but was stopped by the cramp that coursed through me. Fumbling for the painkillers, I tried to take them as quickly as I could when I heard another crash.

"No. No. What did I do? What did you do?" Norman muttered as I came into the room. He looked up and sagged with relief. When he hugged me, I could still feel some tension in his shoulders. "I thought she had done something to you." He whispered as I stroked his hair softly.

"I'm okay Norman." I said softly. "Promise. She didn't do anything." Norman nodded against me.

"The blood..." He whispered. I nodded.

"I'm sorry. I thought I was better prepared." I said. "It's just my monthly." Norman nodded. We stood there holding each other for a second before I pulled back to look at him, brushing the hair off his face. "What broke? I heard a crash or something." Norman blushed.

"I backed into the dresser when i saw the blood. I thought something happened and I felt mother trying..." Norman shuddered and I nodded. "The other crash was me trying to fix the mess I already made." I looked over his shoulder at the dress and smiled at him softly.

"Just a vase. It's fine. I got it at the five and dime store down the road. Pretty sure they still sell them." I shrugged. Norman nodded, pulling back and chewing on his thumbnail.

"So what now?" he asked, voice going soft. Something in his eyes told me that mother was still trying to fight her way out.

“I clean these sheets and you put new ones on. Then we cuddle and try to go back to sleep.” I said with a smile. I leaned over and kissed his cheek before going to pull off the sheets. I bundled them up and went to leave the room. "Are you going to be okay? I mean is she..." Norman smiled at me and shrugged.

"She's quieter now if that's what you mean." He said. "I think not seeing the blood helps." I nodded before opening the door.

 

"Well if you need me..." I trailed off and Norman nodded.

"I know where to find you." He finished. I nodded and headed out to the laundry room. By the time the sheets were finished, I was too exhausted to bother folding them. "Norman can help in the morning." I mumbled to myself as I headed back to our room. Norman stood by the door with a pillow clutched to his chest. "Hey." I said softly and he looked up.

"Hey." He followed me back to bed and wrapped an arm around me. "I just wanted to say thank you." He whispered. "For keeping calm. I know it couldn't have been easy. Waking up with that and then me and mother on top of it all." Norman leaned over and kissed me softly. "I don't think I'll ever be able to thank you enough." I smiled at him and caressed his cheek.

"You don't have to thank me Norman." I whispered. He smiled at me before kissing my forehead. "Love you." I muttered before starting to drift off to sleep.

"Love you too."

Chapter 17: Elwood Blues

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation

I closed the door behind me and Elwood turned to look at me. I toed off my shoes and dropped my bag at the door.

“hey.” He said, holding his hand out over the back of the couch. “You don’t look good. Long day?” I nodded as I took his hand and let him lead me around the couch.

“Period came just after my break.” I mumbled as I sat down. “I’ve felt like crap even with painkillers.” Elwood brushed my hair off my face and tugged me closer to him. I curled into his side and sighed.

“first day is always the worst.” He said softly. I nodded. Elwood hummed softly as he rubbed my arm. “Anything I can do?” I shrugged.

“dunno.” I mumbled. Elwood nodded. He pulled my legs into his lap, stretching his legs out onto the coffee table, as he wrapped his arms around me tightly.

“cuddles sound nice.” He mused as he guided my head to his shoulder, making sure that he tucked my head under his chin. “I don’t have plans tonight. I’m all yours.”

“What’s Jake doing tonight?” I asked, finally wrapping my arms around Elwood.

“it’s more like who he’s doing.” He shrugged. “And I usually don’t care to find that out.” I laughed softly and Elwood let out a sigh of relief. “I’m glad you’re already feeling better.” I nodded against him again.

“you always seem to know just when I need you.” I said, turning my head to look at Elwood. He smiled down at me and I reached up to cup his cheek.

“Yap.” He said. Elwood leaned down and kissed me softly. “I guess we’ve just known each other long enough that I know you almost as well as you do.” Smiling, I laid back down on him. “Don’t worry about falling asleep. I’ll take care of you.” He whispered as he rubbed my back.

Chapter 18: Sherlock Holmes (BBC version)

Notes:

warnings: swearing, argument, menstruation

Sherlock paced the flat, occasionally tapping away on his phone. I sat in John’s chair, curled up around myself as tightly as I could.

“Sherlock.” I said. He continued to ignore me. “Sherlock.” There was a raise of the eyebrow but he still continued to ignore me. “Sherlock Holmes!” He jolted and frowned as he turned to look at me.

“What? What could you possibly want that is more important than this case?” He asked, venom dripping from his voice.

“and what about that case is more important than your partner being in pain?” I shot back. Sherlock looked me over.

“I see nothing wrong with you.” Sherlock scoffed.

“of course you don’t.” I muttered, getting up and grabbing my coat. “You’re such a fucking machine that you can’t even tell when your partner is in the middle of their period.” I shrugged my coat on and opened the door. “When you get your shit together Sherlock, call me. Until then…” I shook my head and left. I could hear him calling for me but I ignored him. Mrs. Hudson came out of her flat and looked up as I came down the stairs.

“what’s all that yelling about?” She asked.

“Sherlock being a dumbass as usual.” I muttered as I paused in front of her. “He thinks the case is more important than whatever I have doing on right now so I’m going to leave him to his own devices until he can get his shit together.”

“John will be back soon. Maybe if you wait…” I shook my head and sighed.

“I can’t wait for John to come back. I’ll rip his head off while we wait.” I admitted. “And as pissed as I am at him, he doesn’t deserve it.” Mrs. Hudson rubbed my arm.

“be safe luv.” She said before letting me leave. I wandered the streets of London, grabbing fish and chips from queensway before taking the London eye. I watched a couple take a picture in front of the parliament building, kissing before giggling at each other. I smiled softly to myself, pulling my phone out of my pocket as it buzzed.

‘The case can wait. You’re more important to me than anything. Please come home -SH’

biting my lip, I texted Sherlock back. I explained that I was still pissed off at him and I would be back later. I didn’t receive a response so I pocketed my phone and continued to walk around the city. When I had reached whitechapel, I started to head down towards the Jack the Ripper museum. I paused when I saw Sherlock leaning against the building.

“Sherlock…” I said, looking around before stopping in front of him. “What…”

“I’ve been an idiot.” He said, reaching out to touch my arm. “You always come here when you’re pissed at me. Or life. You’re looking for something to help solve it. Why I don’t know but it’s admirable. The unsolvable case.” He chuckled and shook his head. “You’re admirable. Everything about you. And you are more important to me than any damn case.”

“glad you finally noticed.” I said, chuckling as I shook my head. “John knock some sense into you?”

“Mrs. Hudson.” Sherlock admitted. “And you. I didn’t realize that you were feeling like shit. For all my deduction and reasoning…I failed you.” Sherlock wrapped his arms around me. “I’m sorry. Really. How does going home sound?” I nodded, wrapping an arm around his waist as he turned to lead me back to baker street.

“strange to hear you apologize.” I mused as I laid my head on his shoulder. Sherlock hummed in agreement.

“Someone must have really knocked some sense into me then.” He teased. I smiled at him. Sherlock leaned down and pressed a kiss to my head. “If you ever need help solving that case…I’d be happy to help.”

“I think I’ve got this one.” I said, pausing and turning in his hold. “But thank you.” I leaned in and kissed Sherlock with the sun setting behind parliament.

Chapter 19: Charles Lee Ray (Chucky)

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation, smut, AFAB reader with anatomy to match

chuckys head fell back as I groaned again. He dragged a hand down his face, tightening his grip on my shoulder.

“if you can’t keep it down, maybe I should give you a reason to groan like that.” Chucky muttered.

“Charles…” I ground out. “Fuck you. You’re not fucking me when I’m on my period.” Chucky lifted his head up and raised an eyebrow at me. Smirking, he leaned into my face.

“why not?” He asked. “Blood is blood. And you know me doll face. I don’t mind getting it on me.” I grimaced as he leaned forward and kissed my nose. “I don’t see why you’re so grossed out by it. Doesn’t fucking help with the pain or something?” I winced as pain rolled through me.

“where the fuck did you hear something like that?” I asked, curling in on myself more. Chucky rolled his eyes at me. Without warning, he grabbed my arms and pinned them to the bed. Laying over me, he forced my legs down and away from my body. “Charles!” I cried.

“I know things.” He said, grinning like the devil. “You gonna behave?” I nodded slowly, staring at him with wide eyes. Chucky nodded once before moving to undress me. Pausing before taking off my underwear, chucky disappeared into the bathroom before reappearing with a grubby bath towel. He laughed as he lifted my legs up and shoving the towel under me. I giggled as he stepped back to look at his handiwork. “Alright now do not…” he gave me a pointed look. “Kick me away or hit me. Cuz you’re not going to like what I’m going to do at first.” I swallowed as chucky pulled his shirt off.

“what are you going to do?” I asked as chucky laid on the bed between my legs. I propped myself up on my elbow as chucky kissed my thighs.

“watch and learn.” He breathed out. I gasp as I felt his mouth on me, arms giving out as he flicked his tongue over me. Chucky chuckled, making me gasp as I felt it vibrate through me. “What do you say now?” He said, popping up and smiling at me. A mix of arousal and blood dripped down his chin.

“fuck me.” I groaned as I fell back.

“I plan to.” He said with a closed my eyes as chucky went back to lapping at me. I grabbed the sheets and moaned as chucky curled his fingers around my thighs. He held me in place as I started to buck up against him. Chucky moved his forearm across my lower body before slipping two fingers in me. One of my hands slipped down and I tangled my fingers in his hair.

“fucking hell.” I moaned as chucky curled his fingers. “Chucky. Please.” Chucky hummed and started to match the way he lapped at me and the way he curled his fingers. “I’m…I…chucky!” I screamed as I came. Chucky laughed as he pulled away, propping his chin on my stomach.

“how are you feeling now?” He asked, teeth stark white against the bloody expanse of his mouth.

“for now.” I murmured, running my fingers through his hair. “Damn chucky. That was…” he laughed again before moving to lay next to me. “Hell no you damn vampire!” I laughed as he leaned in for a kiss.

“aw come on!” He laughed. “You usually kiss me after that.” I pushed his chest.

“you’re also not normally covered in blood Charles.” I said. He shrugged and laid down on his back. “Chucky please go clean up. It’s gross and I don’t want it on our sheets.” With a sigh, chucky pushed off the bed and headed back to the bathroom. When he came back, I let him kiss me.

“finally.” He muttered as he laid back down next to me. “Oh.” He frowned when he noticed I’d put my underwear back on.

“just to keep the blood off the bed.” I assured him. Chucky nodded as I rolled over to lay on his chest. “Want me to repay the favor?” Chucky shook his head as he traced circled into my back.

“nah.” He whispered. “I don’t need to be repayed. Just wanted to help you.” He kissed my head before pulling the blanket over us.

Chapter 20: Bruce Wayne

Notes:

warnings: swearing, mention of menstruation

Bruce rubbed circles onto my back as I curled up against him. He sighed before pressing a kiss to my head.

“how are you feeling?” He asked softly. I shrugged.

“I’m alright.” I said. Another kiss was pressed to my forehead. “Everything kind of hurts. I’m tired.”

“anything I can do to help?” Bruce asked, moving his hand to run over my shoulder. “I mean I know you already took pain killers and you didn’t want to eat since you weren’t that hungry but…” I propped my chin on his chest and smiled up at him.

“You’re doing all I could ask for.” I said. Bruce quirked an eyebrow at me. “Cuddles. Making sure I’m taking the medication on time. Making sure I eat something even if I don’t want to eat anything at all.” He nodded and smiled at me.

“ah.” He breathed out. “If there’s anything else you need me to do, just let me know.” I leaned up and kissed him.

“thank you.” I whispered against his lips. “Couldn’t ask for a better partner.” Bruce hummed happily and hugged me tighter.

“I could say the same thing.” He mused, burying his face in my hair.

Chapter 21: Roman Craig

Notes:

Warnings: swearing, menstruation, Roman is a bit of a dick, innuendos, mention of sex

I pressed my hips further against Roman’s side, trying to ease the pain in my gut with his body heat. His head was turned towards me, soft snores coming from him in the early morning light. I would have smiled at it if I wasn’t in so much pain. I tilted my head back a little, trying to bury my face in his jawline. He shifted a little and I nearly moaned in comfort as the pain lifted a bit. Roman’s hand flexed at my hip and I laid there with my eyes closed, hoping I’d be able to fall back asleep. Hooking my leg over his hip, Roman's legs moved so I could put my leg between his.

"What are you doing?" Roman asked sleepily. I winced and pressed my face against him more. "I'm sorry honey but I'm not in the mood right now. But maybe if you keep rutting against me like that..." He trailed off as I hissed in pain. "The fuck?"

"I feel like I'm being stabbed and you keep moving when I had everything all in place to help stop the pain and you want sex." I breathed out. Roman lifted his head to look at me, the light hitting his face making his eyes shine.

"Stabbed? Who stabbed you?" He asked, mind slowly catching up. The corner of his mouth quirked up. "I never heard you complain about it before." I rolled over onto my back and pressed my hands against my stomach with a groan. Roman's eyes followed the movement and a frown etched its way onto his face. "Honey I'm confused." His eyes trailed over me as I tried to curl in on myself. His hand hovered over me as worry wormed its way into his expression.

"I'm on my period you dumbass." I shot back, locking eyes with him and scowling. The way his expression fell would have been funnier if I wasn't so pissed at him. Not just for being stupid but for ruining the comfort I had felt. "So no I don't want sex and I'm starting to get pissed off with your face." Roman nodded, biting on his bottom lip.

"Yeah." He muttered, moving to get up. "I can see that one." He grabbed the sweatshirt he wore the night before from the floor but paused before putting it on. Turning towards me but not quite looking at me, he put it on his pillow. "In case you get cold." He whispered before going to grab a shirt from the dresser. I watched him, pain and anger rolling through me. Pulling it over his head, he left the room. My face relaxed some as I watched his retreating form. I squeezed my eyes shut to stem the tears I already felt. I blindly reached out and grabbed the sweatshirt and tugged it on. I rolled over and pressed my face into his pillow, trying to cant my hips into the bed at the same time to alleviate some pain. A sigh escaped me when the pain let up. Tugging the sleeves over my hands, I brought them up to my face and breathed in his scent. A tear escaped and rolled down onto Roman's pillow. I sniffed and tried to go back to sleep.

I was pulled out of my twilight by someone pulling a blanket over me. I turned my head and saw Roman focusing on the blanket in his hands. He paused when he realized I was watching him, eyes darting down to his sweatshirt before he finished tucking me in. Nodding once at me, he turned to leave.

"Hey." I called out. Roman paused in the doorway, leaning back against the frame. He started fidgeting and running his finger against the doorframe.

"Yeah?" He asked, focusing on the path his finger was taking.

"I'm sorry." I said. "I know it's no excuse but pain and hormones..." Roman cut me off with a shake of his head.

"No. I get it." he said with a shrug. "And I know I'm a bit much at times. You had every right to be pissed off."

"Doesn't give me the right to talk to you like that." I said, sitting up. I winced at the action and I saw Roman jerk, almost as if he was holding himself back. “and if we’re being honest…”

“have you taken something for the pain yet?” Roman cut me off, looking at me finally. I shook my head. His mouth twitched and he left the room, surprising me. I blinked at the spot he’d been standing in. Roman came back in, hesitantly approaching the bed. “Here.” I looked up at him before I realized he was holding his hand out with pain killers and water. I took them from him and took his hand. Roman hesitated before squeezing my hand. He sat down on the edge of the bed and stiffened when I leaned my head on his shoulder.

“you ok?” I asked, tilting my head to look at him. Roman nodded.

“yeah.” He said. He cleared his throat and wrapped his arm around me. “It’s just…this whole thing…it’s kind of gross you know?” I laughed and Roman pulled back to look at me. “What? Why are you laughing at me?”

“because you’re not wrong.” I said, reaching over and cupping his cheek. “It is gross and I hate every second of it. But it’s just something that happens every month as a natural bodily function.” Roman grimaced and shook his head.

“not what I meant.” He said. I shifted so I was kneeling on the bed in front of him. Roman leaned into my touch as I rubbed my thumb over his cheek. “I just mean isn’t there any other way to tell you hey you’re not pregnant? I mean why put you through this?” He waved a hand at me. “Hormones going nuts. Blood everywhere. Cramps that, I’ve heard, rival child birth. It sounds like the grossest thing ever.” I smiled at him as I shifted my weight. “Not to mention I feel like I can’t even touch you. Let alone make a joke.”

“Roman you can.” I whispered. “It’s just…” I sighed and looked away. Roman cupped my chin and made me look at him.

“I know.” He said softly. “I don’t have to understand it. Or like it. But I know.” I leaned forward and kissed him softly. “This whole thing kind of turns you into a monster. And while it’s hot as hell, I always feel like I have to watch myself so I’m not the one in the line of fire.” My face fell and I hung my head. “I know you don’t mean to and it’s largely my fault…” I kissed Roman again to shut him up. He raised an eyebrow at me when I pulled away.

“I don’t mean to.” I whispered, leaning my head against his. “Roman, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry you feel this way.” I slid my hands into his hair. “Roman I swear…I don’t mean to. I…” Roman kissed me. He continued to softly peck my lips as tears ran down my face. His thumbs wiped over the tracks and he pulled me into him fully. He leaned back against the headboard and held me as I cried.

“it’s alright.” He whispered into my hair. “I’ve got you. I know you don’t mean it.” Roman rubbed my back as he softly talked to me. “Shhh. You haven’t hurt me. Physically or emotionally. I know it’s not you. I love you.” I started to cry harder and Roman tensed. “Oh shit. What did I do?” He pulled back, pulling my head off his chest as he frantically wiped at the tears. “I didn’t mean it.” I grabbed his hands and shook my head.

“it’s not you.” I breathed out. “I mean it is but not the way you think.” I squeezed his hands. “Like we both said. Hormones.” Roman nodded, eyes wide as he continued to frantically look me over. “It’s just you…I don’t…” cupping his cheeks again, I leaned in and deeply kissed Roman. “I don’t know what I did to deserve you. I swear Roman…” Roman’s eyebrows shot up as I rubbed my thumbs over his cheeks. “Every time I think I couldn’t fall for you more, you do something like this to make me fall for you all over again.” Roman smiled at me, pulling me closer to him.

“oh. Well…” he muttered. I laughed as he tried to puff out his chest discreetly. “I guess I can do this more.” He shrugged and I smiled at him.

“Roman.” I groaned. “I say something sweet and you turn it into something else.” I let my head fall on his shoulder.

“you knew what you were getting yourself into when you agreed to go out with me.” Roman chuckled. I laughed as he pressed a kiss to my head, laying his head on my shoulder after. “You feeling better?” He whispered.

“yeah.” I said, turning my head and kissing his neck. “Thank you. And I really am sorry about this morning.”

“I’m the one who should be sorry.” Roman shot back. “It’s no excuse but you know how I am when I wake up. I’m horny as fuck and I have no idea what the fuck is going on.” I snorted and Roman smiled. “Give me a minute to wake up next time. I’ll catch on. Let you curl up against me all you want.” I nodded against him as he pulled back and cupped my cheeks.

“sounds good.” I said. Roman smiled at me again before kissing me softly.

“good.” He said as he laid back down and pulled me with him.

Chapter 22: Tom Hanson

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation

The door slammed shut and I heard Tom walking through the apartment. It was clear he didn't expect me to be home as he rummaged through the kitchen. I buried my head in the pillows and groaned. The door to the bedroom opened.

"Shit!" Tom cried. I lifted my head and stared at him. "Sorry. Just didn't expect you to be here." I nodded and laid back down. Tom came to sit next to me. "Did you even go to work today?"

"No." I said, voice muffled by the pillow. Tom ran his fingers through the back of my hair. "I'm in so much pain I feel sick."

"I'm sorry." Tom said. He leaned down to press a kiss to my head. "You should have told me. I would have stayed home with you." I rolled over and Tom ran the backs of his fingers over my cheek.

“You’d be bored today. I didn’t do anything today. Just been trying to sleep.” I mumbled.

“Any luck?” I shook my head. Tom sighed and crawled over me to lay down. “Come here.” He held his arms open for me. I crawled over to him and laid down on his chest. One of Tom’s hands wrapped around my shoulders and the other settled on my abdomen. His fingers slipped under my shirt, warm fingers pressing against me.

“Or maybe you could have done this all day.” I moaned. Tom chuckled as he tugged me closer. “Tommy I swear you have magic fingers.”

“alright alright.” He laughed. “Just don’t tell Doug. He’ll want me to do something.” I giggled.

“I don’t want to know.” I said, burying my face in his chest. “Did you finish the bust?”

“no.” Tom sighed. “A few more days. And then I’ll be out. I’m starting to hate that school.” I nodded against him. “The kids might actually be right about this one. The threats to the teacher…man if I’d had a teacher like him…”

“that bad?” I mumbled. Tom nodded before resting his chin on the top of my head.

“he went off on a tangent about how students are little shits and they should bring back corporal punishment. He picked up a desk. I’m pretty sure he was getting ready to throw it at a student.” Tom sighed. “The principal walked in. He dropped the desk. I jumped. Half the class jumped. We got let out to recess early.” Tom looked down and smiled when he noticed me passed out on his chest.

Chapter 23: Tim Bradford

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation

“Tim.” I whined as I trailed behind him. “Can we please just go home?” Tim tugged my hand and wrapped his arm around me. My arm crossed my body to continue holding his hand.

“come on. Just once more around the block. Kojo isn’t ready to go home yet.” Tim said, turning his head to kiss my temple. I groaned and slumped against him.

“Then you finish walking him.” I complained. “If I keep walking, my insides are going to fall out.” Tim chuckled, lips still pressed against my head.

“alright. We’ll head home.” He promised. “And I’ll make you some tea and we can curl up on the couch to watch that stupid show you love.”

“hey!” I gently shoved him. “It’s not a stupid show!” Tim laughed and kissed my head again. “You’re just being an asshole about it.” We turned the corner and Tim let go of me to dig his keys out of his pocket. "I'll get the TV set up if you want to take care of the food?"

"Sounds like a plan." He agreed before unlocking the door and bending down to take care of Kojo's leash. Kojo took off and Tim laughed as he stood back up. I kissed his cheek before heading towards the living room. Grabbing the remote, I sat down on the couch. I found the show fairly quickly and put it on, pausing it until Tim came back.

“ready?” I asked as he sat down with a bowl of popcorn in his lap.

“nope.” He said, wrapping his arm around me and pulling me flush against him. “Now I am.” I laughed as he smiled at me. I hit play and curled up against him.

Chapter 24: Dean Winchester

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation, hunting a vampire nest, violence

“I said no.” Dean said, voice firm as we stood in the hotel room. I crossed my arms over my chest and stared him down. “That’s final (Y/N).” Sam glanced between us, hands frozen over the keyboard of his laptop.

“dean, it’s not fair and you know it!” I shot back. Deans jaw clenched and I raised an eyebrow.

“I’m gonna…” Sam said before slipping out of his chair and exiting the room. Dean sighed and rubbed his forehead.

“it’s a vamp nest (Y/N). They can smell blood.” He took a step forward and put his hands on my arm. “You’re bleeding ain’t you?” His eyes glanced down and I scoffed. “It’s blood isn’t it? And blood is blood!” I scoffed again and pushed him away.

“I’m coming dean.” I said. “Whether you like it or not. It’s a vamp nest dean. As you keep reminding me. And a big one. We’re gonna need the three of us.” Dean sighed.

“fine.” He said, throwing his hands up. “But I’m keeping an eye on you. One even gets close I’m shooting at will.”

“who’s will? And what did he do to get shot?” I teased as I went about gearing up. Dean started muttering under his breath and I sighed. Closing my eyes, I shook my head. I walked over to where he was standing and wrapped my arms around him. I kissed his shoulder and dean relaxed. “I know you’re worried. But I’ll be fine. Promise. This isn’t the first time I’ve been on a hunt while on my period. It won’t be the last. And you forget that I’ve had a long career before meeting you and Sammy. This isn’t my first time ganking vamps on my period.” Dean turned to me with shock on his face. I nodded and gave him a tight smile.

“(Y/N).” He said, holding tightly to my arms. “You haven’t…” I nodded and leaned my head against his.

“anything to survive. And wipe them out.” I leaned in to kiss his cheek. “Right?” Dean sighed and kissed my forehead.

“alright. You can come. But I have to be happy about it.” He said. I nodded and headed out to baby. The drive over was tense and quiet. Sam kept looking between dean and i, probably wondering what was going on. When we got there, we got out and checked ourselves over.

“everyone ready?” I asked. Sam nodded. Dean gave me a look before nodding.

“yeah. Let’s go.” He said. We pulled our guns and went in. It was quiet, making dean and I nervous. We shared a look and nodded. We fanned out and I took a deep breath to steady my nerves. I kept dean in my sight line as I headed towards the wall. I heard a shot to my left where Sam was and another vamp jumped out in front of me, teeth bared.

“Hi.” I deadpanned, pulling the trigger. The vamp fell back and another emerged.

“you shouldn’t have come here. We can smell you.” The vampire said. I raised an arm, keeping my gun level.

“didn’t realize I smelled that bad.” I said. “Hey dee? Do I smell?” There was a shot to my right and dean appeared next to me.

“no.” He said. “Thought you showered this morning.” I nodded.

“these suckers say they can smell me.” I said. Dean shook his head.

“told you not to come.” He said as the vamps started to swarm up. Dean and I ducked around each other, firing off shots as we went. I ran out of bullets and put my gun in my waistband. “You out?” Dean asked as I ducked under his arm and grabbed the knife from his boot.

“yeah.” I said, slashing a vamp in the neck. “But it’s fine. I got this.” I rolled away as a vamp got a little too close. I pinned the last one to the wall with the knife from my belt and slashed its neck, catching my knife on its way down. A shot rang out and I jumped. Turning around, I saw a vamp fall to the floor in front of me. Gulping, I looked back up at dean. His chest was heaving as he stared at me.

“like I said. I wasn’t going to take my eyes off you.” He whispered as I ran over to hug him. Dean wrapped his arms around me tightly, the fact that the vamp had gotten that close scaring the both of us. “But I will say I’m disappointed now.” I pulled back and frowned.

“what?” I asked. “Why?” Dean leaned in and kissed me hard, moving my hand down to his jeans. I giggled when my fingers made contact with his bulge.

“you were so hot doing that and I can’t even have you.” He whined. I laughed and pulled him in for a kiss again, tucking his knife into his belt.

“don’t worry dee. It’s only going to be a few more days.” I assured him as he picked me up. Carrying me out to the impala, he leaned his head against mine.

“a few more days too long.” Dean groaned. I laughed as dean put me in the passenger seat. “Sammy! Let’s go!” He honked the horn as Sam came out of the nest, tossing a lighter behind him to burn it to the ground.

Chapter 25: Sirius Black

Notes:

warnings: mention of menstruation, swearing, mention of azkaban

Sirius peeked into the bathroom, smiling softly at me. I looked at him from my spot in the tub. He tilted his head at me, glancing at the toilet before focusing on me again. I nodded as he entered the room.

“feeling better?” He asked. I shrugged.

“Not really.” I drew my legs up to my chest. “Still feels like something is trying to crush me from the inside out.” Sirius nodded and knelt down on the floor next to the tub.

“want me to join you?” He asked, brushing some hair off my face. I nodded, wrapping my arms around my knees. Sirius nodded and got up to pull his clothes off. I watched as I propped my chin on my knees. “I see you’re enjoying the show.” He teased before stepping into the tub behind me.

“yeah.” I whispered. “Even after all these years…”

“mmm. So you say.” Sirius teased again, gently pinching my side. I turned so I could rest my head on his chest, tracing the tattoos that covered him.

“Well…if anything…these tattoos make you that much more attractive to me.” I kissed across the expanse that was covered. “Especially this one.” I traced the moon that covered his ribs. It shifted into a crescent to match the moon that was rising out the window.

“I hope moony is alright.” Sirius sighed, looking out the window as I moved to curl against him. His hand rested on my hip and I gazed up at him. “By next week it will be the full moon. He won’t be able to get the wolfsbane he needs on this assignment. It’s going to be rough.”

“I was making sure he got it after he left Hogwarts.” I said. “I can’t imagine how much worse it is after getting used to that.” I shook my head. Sirius kissed my head and wrapped his arms around me tightly.

“and how about you?” He asked. “You were getting potions from…” he nodded his head. “And now you’re not. Maybe that’s why…” my head popped up off his chest.

“Sirius! You’re a genius!” I cupped his cheeks and kissed him. “I’m going to contact Severus. Maybe he can get me something. Or at least give me the recipe.” I climbed out of the tub, Sirius keeping his hand on my side until I was safely out and heading towards the bedroom to send the owl.

Chapter 26: Eric Draven

Notes:

warnings: mensuration, swearing

A tapping at my window made me stir. Eric was crouched down on my fire escape, staring in at me. The crow on his shoulder took off as I motioned him in. He slowly opened the window and ducked in. I smiled softly at him and reached out.

"What's wrong?" he asked, tilting his head at me. His eyes scanned over me as he knelt down next to the bed. "You don't look good."

"Period." I muttered. Eric cupped my cheek and nodded. His thumb rubbed over my cheekbone. "Hit like a fucking freight train this morning."

"I can leave if you want me to." He said, leaning forward to kiss my forehead. "Come back when you're feeling better." I shook my head and reached out to grab his shirt. Eric looked down with a raised eyebrow.

"That won't be for a week." I groaned. "Please don't." He nodded and I loosened my grip on his shirt. "What did you do for Shelly?" I asked finally. Eric moved to sit next to me on the bed.

"What do you mean?" he asked, brushing hair off my face and rubbing my back.

"What did you do for her? When she had her period? Did you hold her? Draw her a bath? Buy her candy? What did you do?" Eric looked away and focused on the rain pouring down out of the window. "Eric?"

"She kicked me out basically." He finally answered. "She didn't like me being around her. Said it was too much to handle at once. I played a lot of gigs during that week." Eric turned back to me. "I still bought her candy. Art supplies. Anything she would have wanted. I left it outside the door and headed back out after." I smiled softly.

"That sounds sweet." I said, reaching over and putting my hand on his leg. He nodded, eyes downcast. "What did she say after?"

"She didn't say anything. Just kissed my cheek and practically dragged me to the bedroom." Eric laughed. "That was her way of showing me her appreciation for what I had done." He shrugged, looking back up and meeting my eyes. "I never complained." I smiled at him.

"I would think you wouldn't." I laughed. Eric shrugged, smiling at me. "Well, I'd much rather have you here to cuddle with me." I squeezed his leg. "Unless you have somewhere else to be tonight." I added, noticing the crow sitting on the fire escape. Eric shook his head.

"Tonight I'm all yours." He said, climbing over me and taking his place behind me. I hummed happily as his warm hand pressed against my abdomen. "Sleep. I'll be here when you wake." I nodded sleepily, scooting back against him before nodding off.

Chapter 27: Egon Spengler

Notes:

warnings: menstruation, swearing

Egon gently rubbed my arm as I sat on the couch next to him. A book was propped open in his lap, egon flipping through it with his free hand while the other kept me pressed against him.

“so do you have any other symptoms?” He asked. I shook my head. “And you still…”

“Don’t you dare egon.” I sighed. “I am not letting you experiment on me.” Egon leaned his head against mine.

“it’s not experimenting.” He shot back. “I’m simply trying to better understand what you’re going through.”

“Egon. Baby. Sweetheart.” I shifted to kneel next to him. “You’re trying to turn this into an experiment.” Egon rolled his eyes and closed the book. He leaned back and ran his hands under his glasses.

“(Y/N)…” he groaned. “I’m not!” I laughed as I sat back down and laid down on his chest. Egon wrapped his arms around me and held me tightly against him. “I just want to help you anyway I can.” He pressed his fingers gently into my abdomen. I groaned and leaned into him further.

“but you don’t have to figure out anything about this!” Egon pressed a kiss to my head.

“fine. Fine.” He finally admitted. I closed my eyes as he kneaded the area where there was the most pain. I raised an eyebrow as his fingers dipped below my waistband.

“Egon.” I warned.

“Oh come on. Just one sample. Please.” Egon practically whined. I grabbed his wrist and pulled his hand away.

“Egon!” I yelled.

Chapter 28: Jack Bauer

Notes:

warnings: warnings: menstruation, swearing, mention of smut

Jack kissed my cheek, brushing his hand across my back. I groaned and slowly opened my eyes. He smiled at me before stroking my cheek.

"Hey." he whispered, sitting on the edge of the bed. "How you feeling today?"

"Like I got run over with a truck." I mumbled. Jack's eyebrows furrowed.

"I didn't hurt you last night did I?" He asked. I shook my head. "Too rough?" I shook my head again. "Then I'm confused."

"I got up around midnight and my period had started. Damn thing snuck up on me." I said. Jack nodded in understanding, moving to take his shirt off again. "What are you doing?"

"Calling in sick." He said, grabbing his phone and climbing over me to get back in bed. As he called the office, he shimmied his pants back off and threw the blanket over the two of us. I watched him in amusement before a wave of pain overtook me. Jack saw the look on my face and motioned me over while he talked to Tony. I slowly crawled over to his chest and laid down, sighing as my hips pressed against the bed. “Ok. I’m all yours today and tomorrow.” Jack pressed a kiss to my head.

“you didn’t have to.” I mumbled against his chest. Jack laughed.

“really? And leave you here in pain?” He asked, pulling back slightly to look at me. “I highly doubt that babe.” I rolled my eyes at him and tugged him closer. "Did you take something for the pain?" Jack broke the silence that had enveloped us.

"Yeah. When I got up at midnight. Then again a few hours later. I can't take anything for another hour or two." I sighed. Jack rubbed my back soothingly. "I feel like this is design flaw." I muttered. Jack laughed, tilting my head up and kissing me.

"You and me both." He agreed. "But I don't think this flaw is going to get fixed anytime soon." I nodded as he let me rest my head on his shoulder. He reached for the remote and turned on the TV. "Let me know when you want breakfast."

"Yeah." I said, wrapping my arm around his stomach. "To be honest I don't feel like eating much." Jack kissed my temple, keeping his nose pressed to my hair.

"I know. That's why I said to tell me when you want something." He teased. "One of these days, I'm going to have to make you eat something." I shrugged.

"Not my fault my body reacts like this." I brushed off. Jack snorted and kissed my temple again.

"No its not." He said. "But I think it is pretty bad that it rebels against you like this." I nodded in agreement. "Oh look at that. The president is in town. Wonder who woulda gotten that special assignment." Sarcasm dripped from his voice as Jack watched the news. I laughed, knowing he was right. "Its a shit assignment anyway. I'd much rather be here with you anyway." He flipped through the channels until he saw a movie I liked. Jack tossed the remote to the side and wrapped both arms around me.

"Its not like you're the reason he's alive or anything." I pulled back and smiled at Jack, teasing him. He rolled his eyes.

"Shut up." Jack said. "I know its my job but the man could try to keep himself out of trouble." I laughed and leaned up to kiss Jack.

"But then you would be out of a job and we'd be broke." I shot back. Jack scoffed and kissed me again.

"Says you." I curled up against Jack and held him tightly.

"Thank you for staying with me today." I whispered. Jack squeezed my shoulder.

"Just say the word." Jack said, pressing a kiss to my hair. "And I'll stay with you forever."

Chapter 29: Steve Rogers

Notes:

warnings: menstruation, swearing, reader is in pain

I sat down next to Steve with a wince. He looked over at me, eyebrows furrowed and nose scrunched up. He moved his arm so I could curl up against him.

“you alright?” He asked. I shrugged. “That’s a no. I thought you were taking pain killers for your cramps. What happened?”

“I missed the time window.” I groaned, wrapping my arms around my abdomen. “If I want to take some before bed, I had to take them a couple hours ago. I forgot. Well more like I miscalculated.” Steve rubbed my arm as I winced again. “So now I have to suffer until I go to bed. But I’m fine. Not the first time won’t be the last.” I tried to give him a reassuring smile but it came out more like a wince.

“you mean you’ve done this before?” He asked, eyebrows going up. I nodded. “What the fuck (Y/N)?”

“language.” It was a knee jerk reaction at this point. Steve rolled his eyes. “You know I’m forgetful and bad at math. It’s just bound to happen.”

“how much pain are you in right now?” Steve asked, moving to lay down on the couch. I shrugged.

“on my pain scale or a normal persons?” I asked as he drew me into his arms. I laid down on his chest and shifted to put pressure where I needed it most.

“your pain scale.” Steve sighed. “I’ve figured it out by now.” I shrugged and pressed my face to his shoulder.

“just making sure.” I muttered. Silence enveloped us.

“(Y/N), pain level.” Steve reminded me.

“about at 7?” I said. Steve looked down at me with concern. “Honestly it’s not the worst it’s ever been. Least I don’t feel nauseous this time. Or like I’m going to pass out from the pain.”

“why the hell don’t they tell us about this?” Steve muttered.

“well a hundred years ago I doubt they even wanted you to know what a menstrual cycle was.” I teased. “Now they just dont think it’s necessary for men to know let alone understand it.”

“what the fuck?” Steve muttered under his breath. I halfheartedly smacked his chest.

“language.” I said. “Believe me I once asked Tony what he thought a menstrual cycle was and he thought it was some kind of engine part he was missing. But that’s Tony. Clint called it the cycle of death. I don’t know. I guess Laura has threatened him a few times or something.”

“you should ask buck.” Steve suggested. “He had sisters. I’m sure he’ll restore your faith in the opposite sex.” I laughed.

“sure. I’ll ask him.” I closed my eyes and breathed out as a cramp rolled through me. “I even asked fury.”

“Oh I’m sure he had a good answer.” Steve laughed.

“he said it was the time of the month you left women alone.” I said. Steve hummed and rubbed my back.

“I mean some women yeah. Wanda scares me on hers. Pepper disappears apparently. Tony says she always books a week off every month and just takes it when she starts.” Steve said. “But you want me close by. So that’s where I am. Once a month. Every month.” I nodded against Steve’s chest.

“yep.” I agreed. “I like my cuddle buddy.” Steve laughed as I started to drift off. He pressed a kiss to my head before turning on the tv for background noise.

Chapter 30: Tony Stark

Notes:

Warnings: swearing, mention of menstruation, Tony wants to have sex with reader

Tony wrapped his arms around my waist as we stood in the corner of the room. Tony didn't want to be here and neither did I. The only reason were here was because Stark Industries was invited by Justin Hammer to network. The only issue is everyone that was here already knew Tony. It was more for Hammer to try to get more clients.

"When can we blow this popsicle stand?" Tony whispered in my ear. I turned to smile at him.

"Honestly I was waiting for you to ask." I said. "I was ready to go the second we walked in here." Tony chuckled and moved to warp his arm around my shoulder, leading me back out to the car. "Hey Happy. When we get home, I just wanna get out of these damn clothes. Maybe take a bath." Tony groaned. Happy started driving and

"You and me both babe." he agreed. "Maybe we can have a little fun of our own too." He wiggled his eyebrows and I rolled my eyes.

"Tony you know we can't." I shot back. Tony smirked.

"Not that we can't. You just don't want to." Tony teased. "I've been offering my special brand of pain relief but you keep shooting me down." I sighed and leaned my head against his shoulder.

"Because it is gross Tony." I groaned. "I get that you think it is going to help. And I get that it might. But I am not going to have sex with you just because you don't want to wait until this ends!"

"But come on (Y/N)! We keep having this discussion. I just want to offer you more pain relief than the pain killers are." Tony whined. "Really this is about you. I mean sure I get off and I get to see you in all your glory..." I gently smacked his leg.

"ANTHONY!" I cried.

"OW!" Tony yelped. "There's a but!" He wagged a finger in my face. "But...I just really want to make you feel better." He kissed me softly. "Baby I love you. And seeing you in pain hurts me. For about a week a month, you suffer. It hurts me. I don't like that. At all. I've told you time and again." Tony cupped my cheek and rubbed his thumb under my eye. "If you don't want me to, then we won't have sex. I will respect your wishes. But I will continue offering because I think it might help." I nodded and cupped his cheek.

"I know. And I appreciate that Tones." I said. Tony nodded as he leaned into my hand. "But no. I am not saying it because I don't want to have sex with you. I just don't feel comfortable doing that at this time of the month." Tony kissed me softly again.

"I get it." He whispered. "I love you."

"I love you too." I whispered back.

"And now, I'm gonna get you settled before I dote on you as much as possible and make you feel better that way." Tony said as Happy opened the door. He scooped me up and carried me inside, the two of us laughing all the way.

Chapter 31: Barry Kripke

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation

“Hey.” I knocked on Barry’s office door. “Mind if I crash here for a bit?” Barry nodded.

“yeah. What’s wwong?” He asked. I made a face as I closed the door and laid out on his couch. “Oh. That sucks.” I nodded as I laid my arm over my eyes.

“Yeah.” I groaned. “And I cannot keep sitting in that office while Sheldon cooper rambles on and on about different methods that may ease my pain just so he can get some peace and quiet. News flash genius! The only noises being made are coming from your fucking mouth.” Barry chuckled as he shook his head.

“coopah is an idiot.” Barry said. “Don’t wisten to him. He wouldn’t know what to do if he had a utewus.” I peeked out at Barry.

“still having flashbacks to that period simulator i made you try?” I asked. Barry shuddered and I giggled. “That sounds about right.”

“I sweaw I have PTSD fwom that.” Barry complained.

“sure you do.” I laughed. Barry rolled his eyes at me and went back to work. “Any point in me asking what you’re working on?” I asked after he’d been typing for a while.

“just editing a papew.” He muttered. “I owed someone. This is the cost.” I hummed and closed my eyes.

“I’ll just be here. Try to take a nap. Might work a bit later. Laptop is in my bag.” I said. Barry nodded.

“Did you take something? Or not yet?” Barry asked, glancing up at me again.

“yeah. I’m fine. It’s the final days. Just gotta wait it out and hope I don’t do something I regret to Sheldon.” I waved him off. “I do have to ask. How do you have such a quiet office?”

“Quad.” Barry said, jerking his thumb over his shoulder. “I face the wake.”

“oh.” I tilted my head to look out his window. “Yeah that makes sense.” I nodded before crossing my arms over my chest.

“want a bwanket?” Barry asked. “I have one. Spent the night a few times.” I furrowed my eyebrows.

“I’m good. But we’re gonna have a conversation about you sleeping here.” I said. Barry smiled at me and shrugged.

“yeah ok.” He said. I rolled my eyes and curled up. “I’ll wake you in a bit. Wove you.”

“love you too.” I said, closing my eyes and hoping to fall asleep.

Chapter 32: Mother/Darren Roskow

Notes:

warnings: mention of menstruation, swearing

I groaned as I left the bathroom. Carl looked up and bishop raised an eyebrow at me. I threw the heating pad away and stormed back to the room Darren had set up for us. I curled up on the bed and threw the blanket over me. I could hear the guys muttering in the other room and tried to block them out.

“mother!” I heard Carl yell. Bishops voice was next, calling after him. There was a knock on the door and I made a noise before it opened. I pushed down the blanket so I could see who it was.

“Darren.” I breathed out. He came into the room, closing the door softly. Darren kept his arms behind his back as he came by the bed.

“Hey.” He whispered. “How you feeling? I mean I know you feel like shit but otherwise…” Darren gave me a small smile. I shrugged.

“heating pad is broken.” I muttered, pulling the blanket up again. “Cramps are trying to kill me. I feel like utter crap.” Darren nodded before sitting down on the edge of the bed. He rubbed my arm through the blanket.

“I…may have an idea.” He offered. “If you want to try.” I pushed the blanket down and groaned.

“oh fuck yes Darren.” I practically moaned. “I’ll do anything at this point.” He smiled at me before motioning me forward.

“ok. Sit forward.” Darren said, climbing behind me. “Now sit back. Against me.” He wrapped his arms around me and I noticed he brought a laptop. “You’re going to laugh.”

“Darren…” I said, turning to look at him. He waved a hand at me.

“just let me try this ok?” He was close to pleading. “I want to try to help you feel better and this is all I have. The heating pad broke. This laptop heats up just as much when I run a trace. So please…” I nodded at him as I laid back against him. Darren put the laptop on my lap and let me move it over my cramps. He booted it up and opened the trace. “We don’t actually have anyone to try to trace so…” Darren kissed the back of my head. “Whatever you want.”

“can we play minesweeper instead?” I asked, tilting my head back on his shoulder. Darren laughed, making me smile as it vibrated through his chest and my back.

“yeah.” He said, squeezing me gently. I smiled at him as he booted it up. We laughed as we played, the laptop heating up against me. It started to ease my cramps and I turned to look at Darren.

“The fuck Darren?” I said, she’s wide as I stared at him. He tilted his head at me and I cupped his cheeks, kissing him deeply. Darren hummed against my lips before pulling away. “Where’d you come up with this?” He chuckled before kissing me again, this time more gently and sweetly.

“just figured it was worth a shot if the guys complained it got too hot to put in their laps.” He shrugged. “Liz was about the only one to tolerate it. Then come to find out…”

“so you kind of stole the idea from Liz?” I asked.

“sort of.” Darren shrugged. “I don’t think that’s what she was using the heat for but I mean if it works it works.” I laughed as I kissed him again.

“my ingenious man.” I rubbed my thumb over his cheek as he blushed.

Chapter 33: Bucky Barnes

Notes:

warnings: swearing, mention of menstruation

I leaned against Bucky as Steve wrapped up the meeting. I closed my eyes and bit back a whimper as pain rippled through me. Bucky moved his hand, the metal cool against my skin.

“Shit. too cold buck.” I whispered. He nodded and moved his hand.

“Sorry.” He whispered back. “What can I do to help?”

“nothing til we get back to our room.” I sighed, squeezing my eyes shut. Bucky nodded, turning his head to kiss my temple. Steve looked over at us with a raised eyebrow. Bucky shook his head and Steve continued. I pressed against Bucky the longer the meeting went on.

“Bucky? Can I talk to you?” Steve said as the meeting ended. Bucky looked at me and I sighed, turning to head out.

“Right now steve?” Bucky asked, hand still on my hip. “I’m a little busy.”

“yeah buck. It’s important.” Steve said. Bucky sighed and looked at me. I nodded and motioned him off, kissing his cheek before heading back to our room. I laid down on the bed and turned on the tv to wait. I woke up when Bucky kissed my head.

“hey.” He whispered, smiling sadly at me. “Steve wants to send me on a mission with Sam next week. Apparently he needed to talk to me just that second about it.” I nodded, sitting up and smiling at him.

“it’s ok buck.” I said. “I know how it goes.” Bucky kissed me softly.

“how about you? How you feeling?” Bucky asked. I shrugged.

“pain killers ain’t working. I’m tired.” I mumbled. Bucky nodded and laid down beside me.

“well i also stopped down in the lab.” He said, moving his hand against my stomach. I jolted against the cold metal. “Hold on.” As his hand started to heat up, I sagged in relief against him.

“oh buck.” I sighed. “You got an upgrade to be my personal heating pad?” Bucky laughed and I smiled softly.

“you could put it that way.” He teased. “But I’m happy to be of service. If it makes you feel better…” I kissed him softly.

“my hero.” I teased. Bucky chuckled before kissing me again. “Thank you Bucky.”

“of course sweetheart.” He sighed against my lips. “Anything for you.”

Chapter 34: Logan Howlett

Notes:

warnings: swearing, mention of menstruation

Logan sniffed again as he watched me during dinner. I raised an eyebrow at him and he drugged, shaking his head. I shrugged it off as rogue pulled me into a conversation.

“so why haven’t you gone on a mission lately?” She asked. I laughed, taking a bite of food.

“Ask the professor.” I said, glancing over at him. “Might have something to do with the new recruit getting mission time.” I nudged her shoulder before laughing. “No. I offered to take some time off to help train the next group of kids coming of age. Just in case.”

“and doing a good job of it too.” Charles said, smiling at me. I raised my cup and nodded at him, everyone applauding. Logan sniffed again and this time his eyebrows went up in understanding. I cocked my head at him and he held up a finger. I nodded and went back to eating. I tilted my head as I started to feel uncomfortable. Logan caught my head and jerked his head to the side.

“Great dinner guys.” I said as I stood up. I took my plate to the sink and put it in the water. “I’m gonna head to bed. See you all tomorrow.” Logan followed me as I headed up to my bedroom. He laid out on my bed while I went into the bathroom.

“it started didn’t it?” He called. I groaned as I swapped out my products I had already put on in preparation.

“I hate you.” I said as I walked out. Logan smirked and titled his head. “Your stupid enhanced smell. I swear Logan…” he chuckled.

“not my fault. I didn’t ask for the fucking ability.” Logan said, leaning back on his elbows. I laid down next to him and put my head on his chest.

“It does help sometimes though.” I admitted. Logan shrugged as he wrapped his arm around me.

“if you say so.” He said.

“it is. Warns me I need to prep for it.” I said. Logan kissed my head. “So I can appreciate it. A little bit.” Logan hummed. “And you’ve gotten better at not making a big deal about it.”

“I’ve never been around so many people who go through this before. I didn’t realize…” Logan shook his head. “It was overwhelming.” I nodded and rubbed his chest.

“I bet.” I agreed. Logan tilted my head up to kiss me softly.

“at least it comes in handy.” He said as he pulled the blanket up over us.

“from time to time.” I agreed as I turned off my lights.

Chapter 35: Oliver Putnam

Notes:

warnings: menstruation, swearing

I curled up in bed, sniffling as I looked at my phone for the tenth time. Oliver wasn't texting me back and at this point, I was just looking at the various pictures we had taken together. I swiped on the screen and took a shaky breath as a video popped up. Charles had taken it on New Years and sent it to me. I pressed play before the tears started to fall. Music from that night played out of my speakers as I watched Oliver spin me around the makeshift dance floor.

"Have I told you how perfect you are?" Oliver said through the speaker. I watched my cheeks heat up as I ducked my head. Oliver pressed a kiss to my head and I started to cry harder. I tucked my legs closer to my body as a wave of pain crashed through me. I wiped my tears away with my sleeve as I got up to go take more pain killers. I could hear my door open as I swiped to the next picture.

“Maybe it’s time to break out the ice cream.” I mumbled as I shuffled out of the bathroom.

“well it’s a good thing I bought some more.” I looked up from my phone to see Oliver standing in my kitchen. He smiled softly at me as I shuffled over and hugged him. Oliver held me tight as I ducked down to bury my face in his chest. Oliver kissed my head and rubbed my back. “How’s your pain?” He asked, putting his cheek on my head.

“manageable.” I muttered. “Just started going through old pictures.”

“ah.” Oliver gently pushed me back. “Well, let me assure you. I love you.” He cupped my cheeks and kissed me softly. I clutched at his sweater as he leaned his forehead against mine. “And I think that’s pretty clear from our pictures together.” I giggled as he wiped away my tears.

“yeah.” I whispered, putting my phone down and reaching up to hold onto his wrists. “That’s what got me so emotional.” Oliver smiled softly at me.

“You’re adorable.” He murmured. “Now come on. Let’s get you some ice cream and go cuddle up to watch that movie you wanted to see.”

“you got it?” I asked as Oliver grabbed my phone before heading back towards the bedroom.

“I got it. And a few others.” Oliver assured me. “Charles will be stopping by later with some food. And I think mabel will be bringing something over too.” He leaned into me slightly. “They were worried about you.”

“that’s sweet.” I yawned. Oliver held the blankets up for me to crawl under before joining me.

“how much sleep did you get last night? Or while I was out?” He asked, pulling me to his chest.

“not much.” I yawned again. Oliver held me tightly against him. “Hurt too much.”

“hopefully you’ll feel better soon.” He assured me, kissing my head. I nodded sleepily as he rubbed my back again.

“love you.” I murmured before falling asleep.

“I love you too.” Oliver kissed my head again as my grip on his shirt loosened.

Chapter 36: Captain Jack Sparrow

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation, Jack has a bottle of rum, mention of defilement

AN: to keep this historically accurate, this fic going to be a bit more graphic than I normally get with these. I’ll try my best to keep it at a minimum but I make no promises. Consider yourself warned.

I looked up from the desk as Jack walked into his cabin. He gave me a smile before putting the bottle of rum in his hand down. The pile of rags he had under his arm was placed on the bed.

“gibbs collected as many rags as he could. They’re as clean as they’re going to get.” Jack said, putting his hat on a bedpost before coming over to kiss my head. “How you feeling luv?”

“Been better.” I shrugged. “Getting run through with a sword hurt less than this.” I winced as I shifted, feeling the blood pool under me as the rag was saturated. “Can you get me another rag please?” I asked Jack. He nodded and went back to the pile he brought in.

“I should have gotten a damn bucket from cotton.” Jack muttered. I frowned as I stood up, arms coming across my abdomen as pain rippled through me.

“actually Jack, I’m going to lay down.” I said. Jack looked back at me and nodded. I took the rag from him and tied it to me like underwear. Grabbing another, I repeated the action. “Hopefully this lasts long enough.” Jack helped me onto the bed.

“would getting drunk help?” Jack asked as he reached for the bottle again. I shook my head and Jack shrugged as he took a swig. “All I have to offer at the moment.” I smiled softly at him as he climbed on the bed next to me.

“I still appreciate it.” I said, laying my head on his shoulder. Jack wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pressed a kiss to my head.

“wish I could do more luv.” He whispered before leaning down and kissing me softly. “I’ve never liked seeing you in pain.” I hummed as I leaned my head against him.

“I know. Nor do I.” I rubbed his chest, humming as I traced a tattoo. “It’s just one of those things I’ve had to deal with. And will continue to deal with.”

“maybe tia dalma…”

“no.” I frowned at Jack, gently pushing on his chest. Jack gave me a small smile. “I will not go back to that bitch. Last time I saw her she said I’d be dead by your hand. And defiled by hectors. Fuck no.” Jack chuckled as he kissed me, cupping the back of my neck.

“my feisty little one.” Jack mused against my lips. “Always the longest week of my life. You show off, act like a little spit fire and I can’t do a damn thing about it.” I laughed as I ran my hand over jacks chest again.

“maybe one day I’ll let you.” I smirked against his lips. “Not today. But maybe. If you’re good.” Jack moaned and sagged against me.

“fucking tease.” He whispered, eyes shining as he looked at me. “I love you. Spit fire and all.” I smiled at him as I pulled him on top of me.

“I love you too.” I whispered back.

Chapter 37: Aiden Wilde

Notes:

Warnings: swearing, menstruation

Aiden looked over at me before Alfred dismissed the meeting. I rubbed my abdomen as I gathered up my papers. Aiden put a hand on the top of my file, making me look up at him.

“everything alright?” He asked. I nodded with a smile.

“Nothing I haven’t handled before.” I assured him. “Meet you at home?”

“I thought I’d go with you.” Aiden said, looking at me fondly. “If Alfred needs me he can call.” I nodded as he helped me up. Making sure his hand was on my hip, he led me out of the bunker. I leaned against him as a wave of pain rolled through me. “Are you sure you’re alright?” I nodded.

“Like I said. Nothing I haven’t handled before.” I assured him. Aiden kissed my temple as we walked to our home on the base. “You ask me every month Aiden. I’ll be fine.” He nodded, bending to pick me up as we crossed into the house.

“I know. But that doesn’t mean I’ve gotten used to the damn thing.” Aiden sighed. “Anything I can do to make it better?” I smiled at him as I ran my fingers through his hair.

“nothing you don’t do every month.” I teased. Aiden rolled his eyes as he carried me into the bedroom.

“ah bath and cuddles.” He said. “Sounds like a good plan.” Aiden headed into the bathroom, setting up the bath before helping me down from my perch on the sink. He slowly undressed me, pressing kisses along my shoulders as he went. Once the bath was filled he helped me in.

“I thought you were joining me.” I said, laying my arms on the side of the tub with my chin on top of them. Aiden chuckled, leaning down to kiss me before pulling away. He pulled his tshirt over his head and tossed it behind him. I giggled as he undid his belt, shimming his pants off and toeing his socks off with them. Aiden smiled at me, turning a little red at the expressions I had while I watched him.

“Enjoying the show?” He teased. I nodded.

“very much so.” I smiled, looking at him dreamily. Aiden blushed some more, ducking his head before pushing his boxers down.

“Glad you did.” He said as he climbed in the tub behind me. Aiden pulled me to his chest and wrapped his arms around me, fingers gently digging into the flesh where he knew the pain was. “Doesn’t matter how many times you see me do that it still gets you doesn’t it?” I laid my head back on his shoulder and played with the fingers of his free hand.

“I have the same effect on you and you know it.” I teased. Aiden coughed, trying to hide his laugh. “Damn tease.” He kissed my head before propping his chin on my shoulder.

“hey it ain’t teasing if I can’t do anything afterwards.” He pointed out. “Besides, I’m happy to just hold you.” He kissed my cheek. “Anything you need, I’m happy to provide.” I melted back into him.

“I love you.” I whispered, tilting my head to kiss him. Aiden smiled and dug his fingers into me just a bit more.

“I love you too.”

Chapter 38: Beetlejuice

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation, mention of sex

I groaned as I pressed against the counter, the edge digging into my abdomen. The pain there subsided with the pressure, drawing out another moan. A pop next to me had me hanging my head.

“Getting started without me already? How could you darlin’?” Beetlejuice complained. I turned around and smacked his arm. “Ow. What? What?” I glared at him as I walked away.

“You asshole. Don’t make me three time you.” I shot back. I could hear the sound of his boots as he slowly trailed after me. “Because I will. Don’t you ever doubt it.”

“yeah alright.” He said. I could see him rubbing his arm out of the corner of my eye. “What’s got your panties in a bunch?” Beetlejuice muttered. I turned around and smacked him again. “Hey alright! Enough with the hitting.”

“then enough being a smartass!” I countered. We stared at each other for a minute before he furrowed his eyebrow.

“alright. I won’t do this. I’m not arguing with you. Especially when I don’t even know why we are arguing.” Beetlejuice said, hands hovering over my arms. I gave him a look. "OK. I have a pretty good idea of why we're arguing but I don't know what we're arguing about." I nodded as I bit my lip. He continued to stare at me before sighing. "What can I do to make it better?" I shrugged and Beetlejuice pulled me into a hug. "I know. But I ain't got those kinds of powers. I would if I could babe." I nodded as I curled against his chest. There was a pop and some smoke as he transported us to my room. Beetlejuice rubbed my back before pressing a kiss to my head.

"This sucks." I breathed out, clutching the lapel on his suit. He nodded before kissing my head again.

"Could be worse." He whispered. I rolled my eyes. "Hey shut up. I know things. And it could always be worse."

"Whatever you say Beej." I teased. He squeezed my ass before kissing me. “Fucking jerk.” I mumbled as he started to pull me into his lap. “You know we can’t beej…” I reminded him, pulling away to put my hands on his chest. Beetlejuice nodded.

“I know. But if it takes your mind off this a little…” he shrugged. “Making out never hurt anyone.” I smiled softly down at him as I cupped his cheeks. I nodded before leaning down to kiss him again.

Chapter 39: Austin Millbarge

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation, fitzhume is an asshole with a tiny heart

Austin frowned as he sat down next to me on the bed. I laid with one arm draped over my eyes and the other clutching my stomach. He rubbed my leg as I peeked out from under my arm.

“you coming to work today?” He asked. I sighed and let my arm fall off the side of the bed. “I bet I can get you to do paperwork or something small or something.”

“Yeah. I’ll go. It’ll be pretty shitty to just stay home wallowing in pain all day.” I said, wincing as I sat up. Austin shifted and his frown grew.

“you do kind of look like shit right now.” He said softly, squeezing my leg. “I don’t know how to make you feel better. But maybe work…” I squeezed his arm.

“Austin, I’ll go. I’ll be fine.” I assured him. Austin nodded before kissing me softly. “I just need to get dressed and take some painkillers and we’ll be good to go.” Austin nodded before moving to let me up. He hovered as I struggled to hurry, even after taking something for the pain. I nodded before heading out the door. “See? Told ya I’d be fine.” Austin rolled his eyes as he held the car door open for me.

“if you need to come home…” Austin said, reaching over for my hand.

“I’ll let you know.” I assured him, squeezing his hand. “this isn’t the first time I’ve had to go to work while on my period Austin.” He flinched. “And I’ve had far worse than this if I’m being honest.” I said. Austin glanced at me as we pulled up to the guard hut. We both handed over our ID badges before driving through.

“sometimes i wish you didn’t tell me these things.” Austin muttered. I frowned at him. “Not that I find it gross or wrong. But…” he sighed and shook his head as he pulled into his normal spot. “I do not need to know how much you’ve been in pain. I don’t like it to begin with when it’s now. But at least I can try to do something about it now. When you tell me how bad it’s been before…” Austin leaned over and kissed me softly. “I feel like I can’t do a damn thing about any of it.” I squeezed his hand before getting out of the car.

“I know Austin. I’m sorry.” Austin wrapped his arm around me as we walked into the building.

“don’t apologize for something you can’t control.” He said. We flashed our badges before heading up to our offices. “Check in at lunch?” I nodded before kissing him softly and heading in. My morning was filled with meetings and paperwork.

“fitzhume.” I sighed as he walked in. “What can I help you with?” Fitzhume sat across from me and put his feet up on my desk. Setting my jaw, I walked over to his side of the desk. I raised an eyebrow at him as I looked from his feet to him. Fitzhume smiled at me as he seemed to settle in his seat more. I shook my head with a sigh. I sat on the corner of my desk and motioned for him to talk.

“well i came in here to see if that little lunch i had the other day was filed correctly.” He said, voice smug.

“You mean your lunch date?” I asked. He nodded. “Fat chance. You took her on a date. Gentleman pays. Not the agency he works for. It was denied.” I glanced over at his feet that had edged closer to me. Shifting, I put my foot under his legs. He either didn’t notice or didn’t care so I moved it closer to his knees. I gently pushed upwards but he locked his knees. “Not that you’re a gentleman anyway.” Changing tactics, I slid my foot down and lined up with his thigh. I shoved as hard as I could, pushing his feet off my desk but also doubling over in pain. “Fuck!” I screamed. Fitzhume sat up, leaning towards me as he looked me over.

“are you…that’s a dumbass question.” He said. “Of course you’re not ok.” He paused for a moment. “Do you want me to get millbarge?” He asked. I nodded, holding my arms tight around my abdomen. He got up and hurried out of my office, nearly bumping into Austin on the way. “Oh. I was about to get you.” Austin nodded as he closed the door in fitzhumes face. I started to laugh but curled further into myself when it hurt.

“what did you do?” Austin murmured, gently pulling my head up.

“kicked his feet off my desk as usual.” I groaned. “This time I timed it wrong. Cramp and force…it hurts Austin.” I whined. He nodded, eyes roaming my face.

“want to go home now?” He asked. I nodded. “Ok. Can you walk?” I shook my head. “I’m gonna carry you then.”

“that’s fine. Just get me out of here.” I said, tears gathering in my eyes. Austin nodded, scooping me up and carrying me to the car. There’d be talk when I got back, but Austin would take care of it. Just like he always did.

Chapter 40: HR Wells

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation

I smiled as HR came back into the room. He was carefully balancing a tray of snacks and hot cocoa. The only thing that would make it even cuter was if he was sticking his tongue out in concentration. HR slowly slid the tray onto the table and smiled brightly at me.

“and success.” He laughed. I playfully rolled my eyes at him before reaching out for him. “So blanket fort. Snacks. Drinks. You, my dear, just have to pick a movie to watch.” HR looked at me expectantly.

”I don’t know.” I shrugged. “What is a good Christmas movie that exists on both our earths?” HR tapped his chin in thought. “Home alone? Christmas vacation? Christmas with the kranks? Uh year without a Santa Claus?” I listed off. HR shook his head to each one.

“what the fuck is year without a Santa Claus?” He asked. I giggled as I shifted, the giggle quickly turning into a soft groan as I was reminded of the pain ripping through my abdomen.

“it’s a classic Christmas special. Stop motion. It’s cute. Let’s watch it.” I said. “I think you’ll enjoy it. I love it personally.” HR nodded before he went to put on the movie. Crawling back into the fort, he gently grabbed the tray. “Wait!” I grabbed the cups of cocoa before letting him pull the tray towards us.

“good call.” He said, nodding as he accepted the cup from my hands. Leaning back on one arm, HR looked at me as I got the movie ready to play. “How often does this happen to you?” I hummed as I got to the main menu. “Your period the week of Christmas. How often?” I paused in thought.

“not often. I mean once or twice I’ve had it on Christmas. But honestly it hasn’t been that bad.” I shrugged. “I mean yeah it’s painful and horrible and I barely want to get out of bed. But the sugar and presents and being with the ones I love almost always make it better.” HR hummed before taking a drink. I laughed as he set his cup next to him.

“what?” He asked, smiling softly at me as I laughed at him.

“you have some…” I motioned to my lip and HR furrowed his eyebrows at me. “Whipped cream on your…” HR blinked at me before smiling again. “I’ll get it.” Grabbing a napkin, I wiped off the whipped cream mustache. “There. Besides, I quite like you clean shaven.” HR chuckled as he shook his head.

“Why thank you.” He said, moving closer and wrapping his arm around me. “Now. Show me what happens when Santa takes a year off.” I leaned into him with a smile and pressed play.

“gladly.” I said. “Be warned. I will sing along.” HR chuckled before pressing a kiss to my head.

“I wouldn’t expect anything else.” He said, foot already bouncing to the beat of the music.

Chapter 41: Hawkeye Pierce

Notes:

warnings: swearing, Korea war, menstruation, drinking

I crashed on Hawkeyes bed as soon as I stepped foot in the swamp.

“before you say anything Charles I know he’s not here.” I said into the pillow. Charles hummed. “Shut up.”

“I didn’t say anything.” Charles shot back. I flipped him off and he laughed, patting my back as he got up to leave the tent. I groaned as I rolled over, staring up at the ceiling as I waited for Hawkeye to finish his rounds. BJ walked in, ruffling my hair as he headed to the still.

“hawks running behind.” Bj said. “One of the kids spiked a fever. Margret asked hawk to help with it.” I nodded as I closed my eyes. “Want one?”

“nah.” I said, peaking at bj. “If I have one my stomach will just start up all over again. Finally got it to stop.” He nodded, giving me a sympathetic smile. “You hear from peg and Erin?”

“yeah.” He said, sitting down with his martini and pulling the letter out of his pillow. “Peg is trying to sign Erin up for preschool already. But they need my salary. You can guess how that went over with the administration when they found out I was on a military salary.” I chuckled as bj rolled his eyes. “We’ll see if they let her in. Uh what else. She sent hawk and you some stuff. Hawk got a blanket and some cookies. You got…” bj started digging around his footlocker. “A blanket, something for that time of the month which clearly,” bj tilted his head towards me and I nodded. “And some pie.”

“hawk can have the pie.” I said, wrapping my arms around my stomach. “Not that I don’t love pegs baked goods. But I don’t feel like I could eat anything right now without getting sick.” Bj nodded.

“understandable.” He said, putting the pie on hawks table. “Want the monthly thing?”

“yes please.” I said, reaching out for it. “Oh thank fuck. A heating pad.”

“why do you get a heating pad?” Hawkeye said as he walked in. “Hi.” He said, leaning down to kiss me.

“because I’m the one with the organ trying to purge itself.” I said, positioning the pad and turning it on. I moaned as the pain alleviated itself. Hawkeye chuckled as he sat down next to me. “You can have the pie.”

“ah yes!” He cheered. Bj laughed. “Hey laugh all you want but your wife is a damn good cook.” Hawkeye lifted my legs into his lap as he started to eat. “Could you make me a martini beej?” Bj nodded before turning to the still. “How you feeling?”

“sore as fuck.” I sighed. “And I know what you’re going to say but I tried to eat and felt sick to my stomach.” Hawkeye nodded.

“I did too. But then again that’s what comes out of the mess tent.” He said. I nodded.

“yeah.” I said, shifting on the bed. “I’ll try to eat again later. Hopefully this will go away enough in time for my rounds.” Hawkeye leaned over and kissed me.

“already got you out of them. Talked to Margret and she’s going to cover for you.” He assured me. “Figured you were out of it.”

“thank you hawk.” I whispered. He smiled at me before bj handed him his martini. Winking at me he took a drink.

Chapter 42: Beau Arlen

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation

“So…” beau started as I walked into the kitchen. “Wanna talk about why you ran outta my place last night?” I closed my eyes and sighed through my nose as I grabbed my coffee mug.

“As much as I don’t want to…” I filled the mug and slid into the seat across from him. “Probably have to.” I took a drink before wrapping my hands around the warm mug. “Got my period last night. Had to go get supplies.” I said, taking another drink to hide behind my mug. Beau gave me a tight smile.

“Oh.” He said, looking away slightly.

“yeah.” I sighed. “I’m sorry. I really am. It just came out of no where and…”

“you weren’t prepared. I get it.” Beau assured me. “Uh how about we do dinner at your place tonight then?”

“sounds nice.” I said. He smiled at me as he got up, kissing my head as he passed. Later that night, I had just finished making his plate when he walked in.

“smells good.” Beau said as he came over, wrapping his arms around my waist. “Feeling better?”

“not really. But I mean…” I shrugged as I turned my head to kiss his cheek. “I’ve had worse.” Beau took the plate from my hand and went to sit at the island. “How’s your knee? Hoyte said you hit it pretty hard when you fell today.”

“oh she did did she?” Beau said, a small smile on his face.

“yep.” I said, trying and failing to hide my smile. “And pops body cam footage. And the call from the hospital that you had checked in. Hoyte make you go?” Beau was openly laughing now.

“yeah.” He admitted. “Said you would kill me if I didn’t.” I nodded and made a face. Beau looked away from me as he tried to fight laughing. “Oh shut up.”

“Fuck off beau.” I laughed. He shook his head as he took a sip of his drink. “Love you.”

“love you too.” He said, smiling at me. “Movie night?”

“movie night.” I agreed.

Chapter 43: Ben Wyatt

Notes:

Warnings: swearing, menstruation

“Ben?” I asked, drawing my knees up as I put the phone on speaker.

“yeah? What’s wrong?” He asked, concern dripping from his voice.

“Can you stop at the store before you come over?” I asked. “I ran out of supplies and don’t really feel up to venturing out.”

“just text me a picture of what you need. I can get it.” Ben responded. I groaned as I twisted to look at my phone better. “Whatever it is you just did don’t do that.”

“I know. I know.” I muttered as I sent him the picture. “Got it?”

“got it.” Ben sighed. “I’ll be over in half an hour. Love you.”

“love you too.” I said before he hung up. I groaned as there was a knock on my door a few hours later. Getting up, I shuffled through my apartment to open the door. “Ben?” He squeezed past me, grocery bags rustling as he did. “What’s all this?”

“I didn’t know what to get you so I just got a bunch.” Ben said. “Yes you sent me the picture but there were five of the same thing with the same packaging. I didn’t know what to do.” Ben put the bags down and ran his fingers through his hair. “And I didn’t want to ask anyone because I’m a good boyfriend. I can do this. But turns out I can’t and that just got me more flustered and…” I hugged him and put my head on his shoulder.

“you tried.” I said softly, rubbing his back. “You tried and that’s all that matters.” Ben nodded as he slowly returned the hug. “Next time I’ll be more specific. That’s on me.”

“no. Nothings on you.” Ben whispered. “I just…there’s a lot of shit for this. I don’t think I ever realized…” I giggled as Ben looked down at me with a small smile. “Oh shut the fuck up.”

“Welcome to my world Ben Wyatt.” I teased, pulling away to see what he bought. “There’s more than just supplies in here Ben.” I said as I pulled out a stuffed bear.

“an apology for being late.” He shrugged. “And in case I still somehow got the wrong stuff.” I laughed as I hugged him again.

“Well you’re forgiven.” I said, smiling as I drew him in for a kiss.

Chapter 44: Dante Hicks

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation

I tapped my thumb against the counter as I pressed against it, trying to relieve some of the pressure in my gut. Dante was late, probably finishing his hockey game. I glanced at the clock before putting out the sign and a pile of change. Reaching into my bag under the counter for supplies, I headed towards the back to the bathroom. The bell over the door rang as I was locking it back up.

“(Y/N)?” I heard Dante call. I waved as he ducked behind the counter. He shook his head with a smile as he put the change back in the register. “Thanks for staying late to let me play.” I shrugged as he leaned over the counter. I cupped his cheek before kissing him.

“Of course.” I said. “But next time please don’t ask on my day off. Just let me take the sick day.” I tapped his nose before heading behind the counter.

“and do what? Ask Randal? He won’t come in and you know it.” Dante scoffed.

“there’s still Elias.” I pointed out. Dante groaned.

“yeah. You’re right.” He said. Dante wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close. “But then how can I take care of you?”

“like you were taking care of me when you were playing hockey?” I asked, gently shoving him. “Which you stink by the way. If you were gonna be late you could have stopped at home to take a fucking shower first.” Dante lifted his shirt to his nose and sniffled. He shrugged before rubbing my arm.

“ok i admit it wasn’t my best idea.” He said. “But I do want to take care of you. How you feeling?” I shrugged.

“it’s been a long shift. Let’s leave it at that.” I said. Dante frowned and kissed my head.

“I’m sorry.” He whispered against my head. Debating for a minute, he pulled some change out of the register before putting the sign back out. “Come here.” Tugging me down, Dante sprawled out on the floor. I settled against his chest as he wrapped his arms around me. He gently pressed against my abdomen until I melted against him.

“you sure know how to use your hands. I’ll give you that Dante.” I practically moaned. Dante chuckled as he kissed the back of my head. “Who won?” I asked after a while.

“Kevin lost the damn ball. And they only had the one so…” he shrugged as he pulled me closer. “I guess it was a tie.” I hummed as Dante looked up at the register. “Give me a minute.” He said, helping me move to the side so he could stand up. Handing the guy his cigarettes, Dante waited til he was out of the store before sitting down again. I moved so I was leaning against the counter and Dante chuckled before laying down on me. I wrapped my arms around his chest and Dante started to play with my fingers. “Better?” He asked.

“a bit.” I said, pressing my face against the back of his head. Dante intertwined our fingers. “Did Randal open the video store?” Dante shook his head.

“no. I think this is the third day he hasn’t opened it.” Dante shrugged. “I honestly don’t care at this point. Not like we make a ton of money from there.”

“not like we make a ton of money here.” I said. Dante nodded. “Jay was in earlier. Said he wanted to talk to you about buying some retail space or something.” Dante looked over his shoulder at me. “I wasn’t really paying attention. I told him you would find him later.” Dante nodded.

“probably ask him later this week. We’ll see what he wants.” Dante said. “What about silent bob?”

“just handed me a couple chocolate bars and winked.” I laughed. “That man always knows I swear.” Dante smiled.

“yeah well he cares about you in his own way.” Dante shrugged. “Just like we all do.”

“yeah some more than others.” I teased. Dante rolled his eyes before picking my hand up to kiss it.

“I’ve apologized for that.” Dante said. He tilted his head back to kiss me. “I love you.”

“I know.” I said, smiling at him. Dante laughed before kissing me again.

“alright solo. Time to send you home.” He said, moving to get up. I pouted as he helped me up.

“I wanna stay with you.” I whined. Dante sighed. “No matter how much like shit I feel.” Kissing me softly, Dante rested his head against mine.

“ok. But only because I feel bad about leaving you here along all morning. And being late.” He said. I smiled at him.

“yay!” I cheered as I tucked myself under his arm. “Love you.” Dante smirked over at me.

“I know.” He said, smiling softly at me. I laughed as he pulled me close to kiss me again. “I love you too.”

Chapter 45: John Constantine

Notes:

Warnings: swearing, menstruation

John looked over as I shuffled out of the house we’d just finished clearing. He raised an eyebrow at me as I wrapped my arms tight around myself. I shook my head as he gave me a look.

“period. That’s all.” I said. John looked away and rolled his eyes.

“Damn.” He muttered. I let out a shaky laugh.

“yeah.” I sighed. “Back to the house?” John nodded, offering me his hand as he helped me up.

“I’ll tell chas to take whatever comes up this week.” He said as he pulled me to lean against him. “No use leaving you alone at the house. Nothing to do but feel like you’re dying.” I nodded as he helped me into the cab. John shook his head at Chas who nodded once before pulling away. “Need me to do…” John wiggled his fingers at me and I laughed before wincing.

“no. Not yet at least.” I said as I settled in, head on John’s shoulder. Next thing I knew, I woke up wrapped around John in our bed. He was reading through some book that he made float so he could hold me close.

“ah welcome back to the world sleepy head.” He chuckled when he noticed I was awake. I rubbed my eyes as I started to sit up. John quickly put his hand on my abdomen and muttered something in Latin. “There. You should be good to go now.” I glanced down where his hand was still pressed against my skin.

“thanks.” I mumbled as John grabbed the book to put it on the side table. “How long was I out?”

“couple hours.” John shrugged. He held his arms open and I scooted back across the bed to curl against him. “Figured you would wake up with cramps. The way you sought me out once I sat back down on the bed.” He chuckled before looking down at me on his chest. His smile softened as he leaned down to press a kiss to my head. “How you feeling?”

“like crap.” I muttered, turning my head into his shoulder. His scent enveloped me and I felt myself relax some. “Magics out of wack like normal. Cramps are creeping in. Even with that boost you gave me. I’m still tired and I’m a little hungry.” John hummed as he kissed my head again.

“what do you need me to do?” John asked. I shrugged as he tightened his hold on me, shifting us both so I could press against his warmth. “Chas can make some food. We can sit in here and eat and watch some crappy movie. That sound good?” I shrugged again and John sighed. “You know sometimes I never know with you. Sometimes youre starving and almost eat the whole house. Others you won’t touch a bite.” John playfully tickled my side, making me press closer to him. “But the one consistent is how much you want to cuddle.”

“yeah well. You’re soft and warm and smell good.” I mumbled as John pulled me closer. “The perfect cuddler.” John chuckled.

“don’t go telling anyone that.” He playfully reprimanded me. “No one needs to know…”

“the big bad demonologist and exorcist is a cuddler.” I pulled back to look up at him. John smiled softly at me. “I know.” John kissed me softly before leaning over to rest his head against mine.

“I wish there was something more that I could do.” John whispered, kissing my head. I smiled softly against his chest.

“you do all you can. And I appreciate it more than you’ll ever know.” I assured him, tilting my head up to kiss the corner of his mouth. John hummed before dipping his head to kiss me properly.

“if you say so.” He whispered as I patted his chest. He kissed me again before tugging me as close as he possibly could.

Chapter 46: Billy Rosewood

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation

“are you sure you’re gonna be alright?” Billy asked, tucking the blanket back up to my chin. I smiled softly at him. “I can call off. Tell them I’m sick and can’t come in.”

“Billy. I’ll be fine. Nothing I haven’t handled before.” I tried to assure him. Billy leaned down to kiss my forehead.

“I know. But it’s a real fucked up combination…” Billy started.

“that is completely normal for some people.” I pushed. “Billy go. I’ll be fine.” He stared at me and I sighed. “If something happens or I get worse I’ll call you. I’ll call the station if I have to. Taggert. He’ll I’ll call axel if I have to!”

“axels in Detroit what’s he gonna do?” Billy laughed.

“he’ll get through to you quicker than I would.” I teased. Billy narrowed his eyes at me.

“No he wouldn’t.” He shot back. I gave him a look.

“he would. But I don’t hold that against you. Sometimes the job takes precedent. I know that. You know that. And axel knows that. He’s just better at getting through to you than I am. And you still refuse to get a damn cell phone so I can’t reach you on a personal line anyway.” I have Billy a look and he started to turn pink, looking away as he nodded.

“alright. Alright.” He finally agreed. “But if you need me I’ll be here as fast as I can.” Billy leaned down to kiss me.

“don’t go breaking any laws Billy.” I broke out of the blanket cocoon he placed me in to pat his chest. Billy huffed before tucking me back in, fighting a smile the whole time. “Love you.”

“love you too.” He whispered before kissing me again. He smiled softly at me before getting up and heading to work. I curled up and tried to go back to sleep. A few hours later, I bundled myself up in a blanket and headed to the kitchen. I stared at the fridge before reaching for the packet of crackers that were left on the counter. I picked up the phone and dialed Billy’s car phone number. I rolled my eyes when it kept ringing.

“Ok. The station then.” I muttered to myself. “Hi. Tina. Is Billy…” I frowned. “Right. Alright I’ll try him again. Thanks.” Signing, I tapped my finger against the phone before dialing axels number. “Hello! We’ve been trying to contact you about your gun license.” I snickered when axel picked up.

“Gun license? who the fuck do you think you are?” Axel asked.

“it’s out of date axel maybe you should come out to the Beverly Hills shooting range.” I winced as a wave of pain rolled through me.

“(Y/N)! What’s hanging? How’s Billy?” Axel laughed. I smiled before wincing again.

“he’s good. I couldn’t get a hold of him. Think you could?” I asked. Axel laughed.

“of course.” He agreed. “That time of the month again?”

“bane of my fucking existence.” I muttered. Axel laughed and agreed before hanging up. The phone rang a few minutes later. “Hello William.” I laughed.

“you had to go through axel didn’t you?” Billy laughed. “Taggert says hi and feel better soon. Although I’m not quite sure he understands how this works.”

“I don’t think so either.” I agreed. “I’m not feeling great. Think you could come home and take care of me?”

“yeah. Give me an hour.” He said, voice softening.

“ok. Love you.” I murmured before hanging up to wait for Billy.

Chapter 47: Dr. Marcus Kozak

Notes:

warnings: swearing, mentration, mention of unethical science experiments, mention of sex

I groaned as I shrugged on my lab coat, wincing as the pain slowly subsided. Marcus looked at me with a frown. Walking past me to the lab, he held the door open for me.

"Everything alright?" He asked, eyes scanning me for any visible injuries. I nodded as I brushed off his concern.

"Yeah. Nothing I haven't dealt with before. Happens every month Marcus. Thought you would have figured that one out by now." I said as I grabbed a pair of gloves from the box on the wall. "What are we working with today?"

"More DNA from that dog." Marcus said, still eyeing me as I grabbed the slides.

"I thought after everything..." I said, turning to look at him.

"Well its not THAT dog. Technically its me. But since we separated the genome..." Marcus shrugged as he gloved up. "Why not?"

"Interesting. So it is still viable without a host?" Marcus nodded. "That's fucking weird." I laughed. Marcus chuckled as we fell into work. We moved with a practiced ease around the lab and each other. By the time lunch rolled around, I was ready to go home. "There any painkillers left in the first aid kit?" I asked as I went through my bag with no success. Marcus looked up from his computer where he was finishing logging the data.

"Uh I think so." He said. "I'll add some to the order sheet anyway. Can't hurt to have them even for none monthly emergencies." There was some clicking as I found the pain killers and took them. “Alright. Ordered. Time for lunch.” Marcus held his hand out to me and I took it, smiling as he kissed the back of my hand.

“smooth Marcus.” I laughed as we headed to the break room. “Real smooth.” Marcus chuckled and shrugged as we sat down next to each other.

“so I’ve been thinking.” He started as we started eating. “We could splice the genome again. It should remove enough of the dog portion of it but keep the good parts. Like the slowed down aging and the advanced healing. Then I could splice it with yours.” Marcus eyed me carefully. I looked at him before scoffing.

“yeah sure. And instead of bleeding out every month I go into fucking heat.” I huffed. Marcus gulped. “Which don’t me wrong I’m sure you’ll love. Crazy sex for a week or more.” I rolled my eyes. “Thanks but no thanks Marcus.”

“I’m just trying to help.” Marcus mumbled as he turned back to his food. I sighed and reached over and squeezed his hand.

“I know. And I appreciate it. But Marcus there’s really nothing to do except suffer through it.” I assured him. Marcus nodded before squeezing my hand.

“right. I’m sorry.” He smiled softly at me. “After this, let’s check on that formula we were testing out on the side. Maybe we got something there.”

“maybe. Or maybe we just made some really expensive perfume.” I teased. Marcus laughed before kissing me softly.

Chapter 48: Lucifer Morningstar

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation, smut, unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it kids)

AN: I already know people may not like this one. But here we go anyway.

I curled up into a ball on Lucifer’s bed, groaning as I moved. He watched me as I tried to get comfortable, face unreadable as his eyes roamed over my hunched over form.

“this has to be the greatest design flaw ever known to mankind.” I mumbled as I huffed and settled for sitting in the middle of the bed with a pillow pressed against my stomach. Lucifer chuckled as he finally climbed onto the bed. “There had to have been another way. And before you say anything about eve, fuck her and her listening skills but also fuck the whole she needed to punished thing. Getting cast out should have been punishment enough.” Lucifer wrapped his arms around me and guided me to lay back against him.

“Well well well. If someone isn’t a little spite fire today.” He teased as he absentmindedly drew circles into my abdomen, gently pressing against my skin as he went. “Although I do have to agree. If he had left the punishment up to me…well it wouldn’t have been this. Too cruel to punish half of the worlds population for someone’s first offense.” He chuckled as he pressed a kiss to my head.

“fuck.” I whined as I melted against Lucifer’s shoulder, head falling back at the feeling. “Magic fingers luci. I tell ya.” He chuckled again as he ran his nose down the side of my face.

“it can be arranged darling.” Lucifer whispered against my temple. I almost moaned as his fingers dug into me. “Tell me dear.” He gently cupped my chin and tilted it back so I had to look at him. “What is it you truly desire?” His eyes flashed red briefly and I moaned as his fingers kept massaging me.

“you.” I breathed out. Lucifer chuckled before kissing me. “That wasn’t the answer you were looking for was it?” I asked sheepishly.

“no but it is much appreciated.” He smirked at me. “I can take away your pain. Undo gods greatest design flaw. But you have to ask. I can’t just undo it of my own free will. All you need to say is you desire me to take away your pain.”

“can you really?” I asked. Lucifer nodded.

“I have the power to do it.” He gazed at me lovingly. “Seeing you in pain month after month…it wears on me luv. Let me take it away. Please darling.” I looked at him skeptically.

“I don’t know.” I murmured.

“it isn’t that difficult. We just need to have sex. Simple as that. Nothing we haven’t done before. And it’s done. Forever. No repercussions. Children can still be had if you desire it. And there are always other options there anyway. Please luv. Let me take away your pain.” Lucifer waited until I nodded. He smiled devilishly as his eyes flashed again. “So what is it that you truly desire?”

“my pain taken away. By you.” I said. Lucifer kissed me deeply.

“your wish is my command darling.” He whispered before easing me onto my back. He slipped his hands under my shirt and quickly pulled it over my head. Kissing me softly, Lucifer reached down and undid my pants. His hands hovered on my hips before I covered them with mine and pushed down my pants. He hummed as I reached out to unbutton his shirt. Lucifer shrugged out of it before bringing his hands back to my hips.

“luci.” I murmured as he started kissing along my jawline. “Lucifer.” I went to work on his pants and giggled when I realized that he wasn’t wearing any underwear. He smiled against my lips as he helped push his pants down.

“Are you ready darling?” He asked, already panting. I nodded. “Words luv. Words.”

“yes. I’m ready Lucifer.” I whimpered. “Please luci.” Lucifer kissed me again as he thrust into me. I wrapped my arms around him as he pulled out before slowly thrusting back in. He balanced himself on his forearms, moving one hand down to my abdomen.

“it might hurt. It might trigger your orgasm. Or you may feel nothing.” Lucifer warned as he spread his fingers over the area. “Each person is different.” I raised an eyebrow at him. “You’re the first I’ve done this to. But I’ve seen it done.” He assured me. I nodded as Lucifer started muttering under his breath as he continued thrusting. I moaned as Lucifer gave a particularly strong thrust. A brief red light glowed from his hand.

“Lucifer!” I cried, my orgasm washing over me. “Oh fuck. God dammit.” Lucifer chuckled as he moved back to lay over me.

“no need to bring my dad into it.” He teased as he snapped his hips against mine. “He caused this issue remember.” I chuckled before moaning at the way Lucifer ground against me.

“Lucifer.” I whimpered as my second orgasm washed over me. “Fuck Lucifer!” He chuckled as he leaned down to kiss me, pressing his hips flush against me as he shuddered through his orgasm.

“that’s more like it darling.” Lucifer chuckled as he pulled out. I shivered at the empty feeling.

“damn. I feel better already.” I said, sitting up as Lucifer leaned over to kiss me before reaching for a rag to clean us up.

“good.” He said, smiling at me as he pulled me into him. “Oh bloody hell. It’s gonna come out anyway. We didn’t actually need to have sex.” Lucifer said as we settled against each other.

“we didn’t?” I asked, looking up at him. He shook his head.

“I’m sorry darling. It was just easier. A way to stroke my ego if we’re being completely honest.” Lucifer looked at me sheepishly. “The reaction part is true. The last woman that had that had that done came uncontrollably. I figured if that was your reaction…” Lucifer shrugged.

“Yeah well.” I leaned up and kissed him, pressing my hand against his chest. “Devil made me do it.” I giggled as Lucifer rolled his eyes.

“Cheesy luv. Cheesy.” He chuckled.

Chapter 49: Vic Zeck

Notes:

warnings: swearing, mention of sex, menstruation

I rolled my eyes and sighed as I heard Vic coming down the stairs. I barely got my bag over my shoulder when Vic grabbed it and pulled it off. He grabbed my jacket and put it on the bannister.

“oh no no no. Absolutely fucking no.” He huffed. I turned to look at him with a frown.

“What do you mean no?” I asked. Vic raised his eyebrows at me. “I need pads Vic. Tampons. You sure as hell aren’t gonna go. So I do.” Vic crossed his arms over his chest.

“and how are you so sure I wouldn’t go?” He asked. I rolled my eyes. “You dont know. Maybe I’ll do better than you think.”

“how about a compromise?” I asked. Vic gave me a look.

“earl.” We both said at the same time. Vic relaxed and wrapped me up in a hug.

“I just know you feel like crap.” He whispered. “I’m trying my best here sweetheart. But captain vic is a little lost here.”

“what do you mean?” I asked as I let him guide me back up the stairs to our bedroom. Vic held up a finger as he called earl. After talking to him for a minute while I got comfortable on the bed, Vic turned to me.

“he’s going. Apparently I’ll owe him money but he’s going.” Vic smirked as he sat down on the bed next to me. Gently cupping my chin and tilting my head up, he kissed me softly. “The only thing I know about periods is that wild and crazy sex can help alleviate the pain. And while that sounds awesome as fuck…” Vic rubbed his thumb over my jaw. “I don’t think you’re up for it. Right now anyway.” Vic looked at me before leaning in and kissing me again. "I don't know what I'm doing here."

"Come here." I whispered, opening my arms. Vic settled against me and sighed. I kissed his head and closed my eyes. "You're warm. Like my own personal heater." Vic grumbled slightly before turning in my arms. "Don't give me that look. You wanted to help."

"Shut up." He grumbled. I giggled as he twisted around, pulling me into his chest as he swapped our positions. "It's going to be a long week." He mumbled. I nodded.

"Yeah. But you get used to it." I muttered, curling up under his chin. Vic scrunched up his face and stared at me.

 

"Excuse me?" He asked. I tilted my head up to look at him.

"Yeah. Eventually you get used to this crap." I shrugged. "Starts when you're a kid and goes until you're old. Gotta get used to it."

"How do I stop it? This sounds like fucking hell." Vic complained. I laughed and leaned up to kiss him.

"If I tell you, you're gonna wanna do it. And I am not up for that. Yet." I warned. "Especially not with you. And no offense Vic, but you ain't ready for that either baby." Vic rolled his eyes.

"Yeah alright. You have a point. But still." He whispered. "If it would help. I would do it in a heartbeat."

"Let's stick to practicing." I patted his chest as I laid back down on it. "I'm not saying right now. But maybe later today when we know Earl won't interrupt us with the shit I need."

"Whatever you say sweetheart." Vic said, voice muffled as he pressed his face into my hair. "Whatever you say."

Chapter 50: Older Ray Stantz (Afterlife/Frozen Empire age)

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation, mention of vomit

The bathroom door opened as I sighed. My head was tilted back against the cool shower tiles as the hot water beat down on me. Through the foggy glass, I watched as Ray assessed the damage in the room.

"What happened?" He asked, voice soft as he looked around the room before staring at my outline through the glass. "Looks like a tornado flew through."

"Not quite." I called out. "I got blood on the rug. And the bathmat. And I'll probably get some on the towel. I'll clean it up. Promise." Ray stepped into the shower, having undressed at some point.

"Hey. Hey. Its ok." He soothed, running his hands over my arms. "It happens. Not like you can control it. A soak for a couple of days should get it right out." I nodded as he leaned over to kiss my cheek. "Cramps?"

"From hell." I muttered as I wrapped my arms around myself as I stood under the water. "I already took something but they haven't gone away. I felt lightheaded earlier too." Ray nodded as he hugged me close. I sighed at the feeling but grimaced as pain rolled through me.

"Seems like this time is worse for some reason." Ray muttered. I nodded against his chest.

"Like I said. From hell." I groaned. "There was a moment before you came in that I thought I was going to throw up I was in so much pain. Still not entirely sure I won't." Ray pulled back to look at me.

"That hasn't happened before." He said, concern on his face. I nodded.

"Once. Before I met you. Like years ago at this point." I explained. "Not the thing with the rug though. That's never happened. Fucking freak of nature thing. But the lightheadedness and the being in so much pain I wanna puke. That's happened." Ray rubbed my back as he kissed my forehead.

"What can I do to make it better?" He asked. I shrugged as I started my shower routine, feeling slightly better now that Ray was here.

 

"Nothing really." I said with a soft smile. "I know." Ray frowned as he looked me over. "You want to help. I'm in pain and you will whatever you can to help me feel better. But there isn't a whole lot you can do." Ray kissed me softly as he cupped my cheek. "I will tell you that you being here helps though. A lot."

"Then I'll stick around." He promised. "They don't really need me at the firehouse today. Closed the shop because I went there to help out so I'm free the whole day." Ray chuckled and shrugged. "Actually I'm kind of free the whole week. Trevor thought they needed more help than they did so I made sure I was available." I giggled as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Lucky me." I teased as I kissed Ray. "How does watching a movie sound? Whatever you want. Then we can order some take out and just relax."

"That sounds lovely honestly." Ray agreed. "Do you need anything? I can pick it up when I head out to get the take out." I tapped my fingers against his shoulders as I thought.

"I think I'm good but a package of pads wouldn't hurt." I said, finally focusing back on Ray. He nodded.

"Just one?" He asked, a knowing smirk on his face.

"Ok. A couple." I caved, smiling sheepishly at him. "It is a little heavier this time too." Ray nodded, kissing me again. "Damn you. You know me so well."

"I'll grab at least three. Or whatever they have." He promised. "And some candy. And a new movie for you and a new book. I know you've been eyeing that one." I felt my cheeks heat up slightly at how attentive Ray was. "And the take out. But for now..." I nodded.

"Yeah. Finishing showering." I sighed, burying my face in his neck. Ray laughed as he held me close.

"This doesn't feel like finishing a shower." He teased, gently tickling my side.

"Shut up." I laughed. "You're comforting. I need to be comforted." Ray shook his head, resting his cheek on the top of my head.

"Alright. But not too much longer. The water is gonna go cold." He warned. I nodded before pulling away a few minutes later. I stepped back under the water and screamed.

"Holy fucking shit!" I cried as I jumped back into Ray's arms. He laughed as he turned it off.

"Told ya." He smiled as he stepped out of the shower, holding the towel open for me. I glared at him as I followed, letting him wrap the towel around me.

Chapter 51: Steff (Pretty in Pink)

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation

I pressed the heel of my hand further against my pelvis and tried to surpress the moan that accompanied the sharp wave of pain that rolled through me. I doubled over myself on the toilet and tried to breath through my nose as I squeezed my eyes tight.

“hey everything alright in there?” Steff called. “You’ve been in there a while.”

"Just peachy." I groaned. Steff slowly opened the door and stuck his head in.

"You sure look it." He snorted. I flipped him off as I rested my head on my knees. "What can I do?"

"Nothing." I sighed, finally glancing up at him. "I took painkiller half an hour ago. I'm waiting for them to kick in now. And don't laugh but this is far more comfortable than laying in the damn bed." Steff shrugged and sat down on the floor next to me. As I laid my head back down, he started to rub my back. It was quiet as I slowly rocked myself. Steff moved to play with my hair, keeping himself busy while he waited for me.

"Did you see that notice?" He finally spoke up.

"What notice?" I asked. "We being fucking kicked out?" Steff chuckled.

"No. They're making the building pet friendly. We could get that dog if you wanted." Steff cocked his head at me. "Or we could get a cat."

"Maybe start you off with a goldfish." I teased, slowly sitting back up. Steff's hand fell to his lap as my head was now out of his reach. "I'm still not entirely sure you can take care of yourself let alone another living thing."

"Oh fuck you." Steff laughed. "I take care of myself just fine. Always have. Always will." I smiled softly at him. "You feeling better?"

"A bit yeah." I nodded. "I think I'm ready to head back to bed." Steff nodded as he stood up. Fixing his hair while I watched, Steff leaned down to kiss me before leaving the room. I stood up with a groan and righted myself before following him out. Steff was already in bed with a hot water bottle and an extra blanket. Once I had climbed back into bed, he helped me get situated again before pulling me into his arms. "Thank you."

"Of course." He kissed my head as he rubbed circles into my arm. I closed my eyes as the pain started to subside. "I think I've proved I can take care of another living thing." Rolling my eyes, I tilted my head to look at him.

"You need to learn how to pick better fucking timing Steff." I complained. Steff laughed and shrugged.

"But I did." He teased as I shook my head at him.

Chapter 52: Nick Fowler (the 355)

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation

I eased into the seat on the plane, closing my eyes in relief as my body finally slowed down. Nick chuckled as he sat down next to me. We were both bruised and bloodied but it wasn't anything we hadn't handled before.

"How are you feeling?" Nick asked as he leaned over me to close the blinds over the window. "Still sore as fuck?"

"From the mission? Nah that's better now. From the other thing? Somehow that got worse." I breathed out as I sank into the cushions. "Any word on that first aid kit?" Nick's hand rubbed circles into my thigh.

"You're gonna hate me." He breathed out, making me open my eyes and turn towards him.

"You forgot to prep one." I sighed. Nick shook his head.

"No one was prepped. It just got shot up and lost in our escape." He admitted. I sighed and let my head fall back against the seat.

 

"Well fuck." I breathed out. "This is going to be interesting."

"I'm sorry." Nick whispered. I shook my head.

"It isn't your fault." I said softly, reaching over to cup his cheek as we took off. "It was those assholes who were chasing and shooting at us. They shot my painkillers. Not you." Nick chuckled as he turned his head to kiss my palm.

"I guess you're right." He sighed as he leaned back in his seat. "Its only a three hour flight. You gonna be alright?" I nodded.

"Nothing I haven't had to do before." I confirmed as the plane leveled out and the seatbelt sign went off. I winced at the change in cabin pressure but curled in on myself. Nick watched with a frown. "I'm fine." I assured him. Nick nodded with a weary look. I sighed and shook my head at him. It was going to be a long three hours.

Chapter 53: Haymitch Abernathy (Hunger Games)

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation, mention of the Capitol

I trudged into the house from across the street. Haymitch was surprisingly already up, glancing at me from his place at the table.

"You look like shit sweetheart." He mumbled, glancing away as I walked over to his stove. I flipped him off as I started making breakfast.

"Just means another month of the Capitol not getting what they want." I sighed. Haymitch fiddled with something on the table before getting up and wrapping his arms around my waist. He pressed a kiss to my neck before burying his head there. “You alright?” I asked, letting my free hand tangle in his hair.

“I’m alright.” He breathed out. “Just hate seeing you in pain. But that’s not new.” I nodded as I leaned back against him. Haymitch swayed while I hummed. I could feel his lips curl into a smile as we moved. “How’s Katniss?” I sighed as he hugged me tighter.

“still with the nightmares. Still trying to admit she doesn’t need peeta.” I murmured. “They’ll come to their senses soon enough.” Haymitch rubbed my abdomen gently, pushing where needed as the warmth from his hand soaked into my skin. I hummed as he pressed another lazy kiss to my shoulder. “God that feels good.” Haymitch chuckled as I served up our plates. He broke away just long enough for me to put them on the table before drawing me into his lap. “Haymitch!” I laughed as his hand returned to its spot just below my waistband.

“gross.” Katniss muttered as she walked in the door. “Can’t you two at least wait until breakfast is over?”

“Well if you didn’t walk around here like you owned the damn place we wouldn’t have this problem now would we?” Haymitch teased as he propped his chin on my shoulder. Katniss glared at him while he blew her a kiss, making me giggle at the action. “You know the sooner you realize you have your own place the better this arrangement is going to work out.”

“prim has overrun the kitchen with her animals.” Katniss sighed as she sat down with her plate. “And peeta has taken my oven for his baking.”

“I thought he was painting now.” I said offhandedly, watching her reaction. Katniss pushed her food around.

“depends on how bad the nightmares are.” She shrugged. I nodded. Haymitchs hold on me tightened.

“this one’s get worse when they start bleeding.” Haymitch said, eyeing me as he ate. “You can’t stay here tonight. Go be with primrose and your mom. Hell peeta might even enjoy your company.” Katniss eyed me as I smiled softly at her.

“he’s not wrong. Been around me long enough to know.” I shrugged. Katniss nodded and took her empty plate to the sink.

“good to know. I’ll steer clear. Give the others the warning.” She nodded before heading out.

“be careful!” I called after her. She raised a hand in acknowledgement before disappearing towards the fence line. “Why did you have to tell her that?” I smacked haymitch in the chest as he chuckled. I got off his lap and went to do our dishes.

“because I want to be alone with my partner in our bed tonight.” Haymitch teased. “And…” he paused long enough for me to turn around. “Hattie gave me this. Greasy sae confirmed what it was.” He looked from the bottle to me. “If you want all this to stop. End it here and now. I’ll understand.” Haymitch looked at me with sad eyes.

“poison?” I asked. Haymitch shook his head violently.

“fuck no.” He growled. “Something to end the cycle of pain.” I blinked at him while looking down at myself. “But it’ll mean…” haymitch took a deep breath. “They won’t win. Break the board. From within.” I paused a moment to think.

“we’ve both lost so much.” I murmured. Haymitch nodded. “This wouldn’t be much more. Protect ourselves from the inevitable. From the pain.” I looked back at the bottle. “But no. One day, when we’re good and ready. Not when the capitol decides. Not when snow decides. When we finally break the board.” I promised. Haymitch nodded, eyes teary as he kissed me.

“I understand.” He whispered against my lips. “For now, this joins the rest of what greasy sae gives us. And no one knows any better.” I nodded.

“tell them thank you though.” I whispered as I stroked his cheek. Haymitch nodded before kissing me again.

“We’re going to get through this. One day.” He breathed out. I nodded.

“one day.” I whispered back. “I love you.”

“I love you like all fire.”

Chapter 54: Johnny Lawrence (Cobra Kai)

Notes:

warnings: mensuration, swearing, Johnny being a little dense

"You're still where I left you this morning." Johnny said as he sat down on the sofa next to me. "Am I gonna have to take you to the doctor or something?" I shot him a dirty look.

"No dumbass." I groaned as I curled up on myself. "This is normal. Unfortunately." Johnny stared at me like I had grown a second head. "You should know that by now. You're a grown ass man."

"This is normal?" Johnny asked, tipping his beer bottle towards me. I nodded as another wave of pain rolled through me. "I find that hard to believe." I sent him another glare. "Can't you take anything to make it go away?"

 

"I did." I muttered, letting Johnny wrap his arm around me and pull me close. The heat radiating off his body made me groan slightly. "It isn't working." He hummed as he propped his chin on my head. "I guess I just have to suffer."

"You know what always helped me when I felt like crap?" Johnny asked. I shook my head and I curled into him. He got up, making me frown at him. "I would always go train." I groaned as he tried to pull me off the couch.

"Johnny..." I sighed as I watched him get into a fighting stance. I flinched a little at the loud yell but softened when Johnny smiled at me expectantly. I shook my head and covered his fists with my hands. Johnny's smile fell as I gently lowered them. "Honey, I know you're just trying to help..."

"Yeah. So what's the problem?" He asked, gently moving forward and putting his hands on my hips.

"Johnny, I'm bleeding. I'm cramping. I feel like complete and utter crap. If I move around the way you want me to move around, I'm going to hurt myself worse than what I am." I explained. Johnny's eyes flickered down to my abdomen. "I get it. After everything with Kreese..."

"Pain did not exist." He whispered. I sighed and stepped further into his embrace. I tucked his head into my shoulder and ran my fingers through his hair. Johnny held me tight against him. I smiled softly when he pressed a kiss to my neck. "I'm sorry." I hummed in response. "I am. Sometimes I forget...not just about how fucked up Cobra Kai and all that was. But that you're a lot stronger than me." Johnny pulled back and took my hands in his. He kissed my knuckles as he smiled at me.

"What do you mean?" I asked. Johnny chuckled.

"Of course you don't get it." He shook his head. "Babe, if I went through half of what you go through with this alone..." Johnny shrugged. "I would be making return trips to the hospital screaming my head off. And yet you’re here sitting on the couch.”

“curled up into a ball.” I pointed out. Johnny smiled and kissed my head.

“yes but that’s it. Nothing. No screaming. No crying. Just annoyed complaining.” He chuckled. “So much stronger than me.” I smiled at him before gently smacking his chest.

“sometimes you’re an ass.” I laughed. “But a sweet ass nonetheless.” Johnny smiled at me before pulling me down into his lap on the couch and kissing me softly.

Chapter 55: Justin Hammer (MCU)

Notes:

warnings: Swearing, menstruation, Justin Hammer is an ass, mention of pregnancy

I stood at the island, eating ice cream straight from the container as I read through a file on my tablet. The edge dug pleasantly into my abdomen as I shifted my weight. The painkillers had done their work for once and I was just trying to make myself further comfortable. Putting the container down, I typed out my notes for the tech department to deal with the next day.

"Hey." Justin said as he came into the kitchen, jacket discarded somewhere in the house. I leaned into him slightly as he kissed my cheek. "Still working?" I nodded. Justin moved away to grab a glass from the cabinet before heading to where the bourbon was. "I thought we agreed to leave that shit at the office from now on. After that whole..." He waved a hand at me. "Thing."

"Yeah. But the tech department needs to be reminded of that. They sent a file for me to look over. By tomorrow morning." I said, shooting him a look. Justin sighed and took out his phone. After typing on it for a few minutes, my screen bleeped before doing blank.

"There. They're locked out until tomorrow afternoon." He said, smiling at me. "You'll have plenty of time to look at it tomorrow morning when we go into the office." I chuckled and shook my head at him.

"You're incorrigible." I said. I winced as a twinge of pain rolled through me. His face fell.

"You good?" Justin asked, glass halfway to the counter. I nodded and waved him off.

"Not that. Just my period." I assured him. Justin smiled again. He raised his glass at me.

"Hey. You're not pregnant. Congrats!" He cheered. I paused, giving him a dirty look. I rolled my eyes before leaving. "Wait. What'd I do?" I could hear him trailing after me. "(Y/N) hang on a minute. What did I do?"

"If you have to ask, then..." I took a deep breath and grabbed his pillow off the bed. "Then you don't know. And until you figure it out," I threw his pillow at him and grabbed a blanket before tossing that at his feet. Justin bent to pick it up, eyes never leaving me. "Have fun sleeping on the couch." With a solemn nod, Justin left the room. I sighed as I stared at the empty side of the bed before changing and climbing in to watch tv. I didn't hear Justin come back to change or notice when he turned off the tv with a kiss to my forehead. The next morning I ventured out into the kitchen and wistfully watched him sleep on the couch, a cushion pulled close to his chest. I walked over to fix the blanket then left for work.

No one from tech bothered me while I took my time reading over the file and the notes that I had made the night before. My phone rang a few times with updates about meetings. It seemed Justin had gotten me out of most of them which I appreciated. At lunch, I sent off the file with my notes and took a much needed break. There was a soft knock at my door before Justin came in, lolipop in his mouth and a sheepish look on his face.

"Still working through giving up smoking?" I asked, tapping on my phone to pull up the show I was currently watching. Justin took the lollipop out of his mouth before looking at it.

"Uh not really. Maybe. I'm not entirely sure anymore. I wanted something with sugar and this was the first thing I grabbed." Justin shrugged. "Can we talk? About yesterday?" I looked at my computer before nodding, eyes trailing back to him. "I figured it out." He rocked on his heels.

"And?" I asked, looking at him exhausted. Justin twirled the lollipop in his mouth before pulling it out again.

"I shouldn't have made that joke about you not being pregnant." He said. "I thought it was a funny joke that would make you laugh and get your head out of work. But I was wrong. I shouldn't have done it. I'm sorry." I nodded and fiddled with my jacket sleeve.

"Thanks." I mumbled. Justin looked at me worried.

"Unless there was something else..." He trailed off. I shook my head.

"No. Its just..." I sighed and looked at him. "I'd had a long day. And I just wanted to finish the file, watch some TV and cuddle. But instead things went the way they did." I shrugged. "I kind of feel like shit about it."

"But you didn't overreact." Justin said as he pulled a chair over to mine. Cupping my cheeks, he pressed his forehead against mine. "Baby you did what any normal person would do. Put me in my place. I appreciate that. You didn't do anything wrong that was all me." I nodded as Justin kissed my nose. "I'm the fuck up. We've been over that enough times." I giggled and he smiled. "How about tonight is a redo? We leave early, I grab something from that little Italian place down the street and we cuddle on the couch while watching trashy movies. How does that sound?" I nodded and wrapped my arms around him.

"Sounds perfect." I whispered. Justin kissed my head as he held me tight.

"Good. Then instead of working on that stupid Stark Expo presentation, how about we take a nap?" He asked, already pulling me out of my chair. I was about to protest when he started talking again. "Slept like shit last night. And it wasn't the couch. Needed you next to me." With a small smile, I nodded. Justin laid down on the couch in my office and helped me get situated next to him.

"I needed you too." I admitted as I grabbed the blanket from the back of the couch. We smiled softly at each other before sharing a soft kiss.

"I really am sorry." Justin said, letting me use his arm as a pillow.

"I know." I assured him. "I know."

Chapter 56: Commissioner Jim Gordon (Dark Knight)

Notes:

warnings: swearing, menstruation

I shifted how I was sitting as Jim came back into the bedroom with a bowl of ice cream. I happily took it from him before he climbed back into bed. Once he was settled, Jim pulled me back against him.

"How are you feeling?" Jim asked as I unpaused the movie we were watching. "Better?"

"Yeah. I mean not completely better but at least it doesn't feel like the pain is going to confine me to the bed anymore." I said. Jim pressed a kiss to my cheek as he chuckled.

"And yet you haven't left the bed all day." He teased. I hummed as I ate my ice cream.

"That's not true. I left to take a shower and grab lunch." I pointed the spoon at him. Jim leaned forward to lick a drop of melted ice cream off the tip, winking at me as he did. "Hey! That's my ice cream!"

"And it was going to drip all over our bed." He shot back. I rolled my eyes at him. "Now hush. We're going to have start this movie over again if you can't keep quiet."

"Who gives a shit? You've seen it several times. You know it by heart I'm sure." I teased as I leaned my head on his shoulder. Jim huffed as he made a point of ignoring me to watch the movie. "Jim..." I whined, batting my eyes at him as he finally caved.

"Alright!" He said with a laugh. "Background noise it is." I smiled at him as I offered him some of my ice cream.

"How's this thing with Batman?" I asked. "They still want you to bring him in and take down the signal?"

"Yeah." Jim licked his lips before taking the spoon from me to feed me. I giggled as he held the spoon to my lips before rolling my eyes at him and accepting it. "They think he's a danger to the city. Even with the task force I've been building to help Batman...they want me to bring him in dead or alive." I frowned.

"They don't see all the good that he's doing for the city?" I asked. Jim shook his head. "Well that's bullshit."

"Its complete bullshit. If it wasn't for him, we'd have Joker copycats running around. Or worse yet Crane would still be coming after us. Now they're all locked up in Arkham." Jim shook his head and set the empty bowl to the side. "I don't see how no one can see that."

"What about that Robin?" I asked, eyebrow raised. "The kid running around with him."

"That does worry me." Jim agreed. "I know Bruce Wayne just adopted a kid around the same age. But..." Jim paused. "Fuck. It couldn't be...could it?" He got out of bed and I hurried to follow him, pressing against my abdomen as the sharp movement caused a cramp to shoot through. "I'll be damned."

"Jim, what..." He turned towards me with a newspaper and pen. Drawn over the picture of Bruce Wayne and his adopted son were a pair of masks. "Holy shit." I murmured. "Are you sure?"

"Not entirely." Jim shook his head. "But they're a perfect match. I mean we've both seen Batman. And Bruce plenty of times."

"The match is uncanny." I said as I took the newspaper from him. "And I've never seen the two men in the same room. I mean when Joker went after Rachel, Bruce left the room."

"Exactly." Jim confirmed.

"We can't just come out and ask Bruce can we? I mean he would just deny it." I looked at Jim and he nodded.

"I mean I can ask him a question only Bruce would know the answer to..." Jim thought. "But I wouldn't know what to ask him."

"Ask him something about his childhood." I said. "He already practically confirmed that you were the officer that took care of him after his parents were shot. Ask him something about that night. Like something you said to him. Or what your badge number was." Jim nodded.

"I can ask him about that." Jim said, moving about in a daze. "He'll be out tonight. Patrolling. After that thing with Lex Luthor..." Jim finally looked at me. I nodded, walking over and cupping his cheeks.

"Go do what you need to do." I said, kissing him softly. "Keep me updated." Jim nodded as he kissed me again. "Make sure he knows that his secret is safe with us!" I called after him as he ran out the door, coat fluttering behind him. The door closed with a soft click and I headed back to the bedroom to finish the movie while I waited for news.

Chapter 57: Robert Doob (Eye for an Eye)

Notes:

warnings: stalking, swearing, menstruation

I groaned as there was a knock on the door. Rolling off the couch, I yelped as I hit the floor.

“crap.” I muttered, pushing myself off the floor and onto my knees. There was another knock on the door as I hoisted myself up. “I’m coming. I’m coming.” I opened the door and stared at Robert. “Huh?”

“You forget i was dropping shit off today?” He asked as he looked me over. I ran my hand down my face and nodded. “You forgot.” He chuckled as I held my hand up, beckoning him into the house while also asking him to wait for me.

“shut up Robert.” I shot back. “It has been a long ass day. Hell a long ass week.” I heard the bags hit the table.

“well that explains the…products.” He said. I giggled as I pictured the disgusted look on his face as he peeked into the bag. “What the fuck kind of thing is this? Different sizes for different…what the fuck is a flow?” I openly laughed as o came back into the room with the money. Robert tossed the package at me with a confused look.

“if you must know, Mr. Macho man, a flow is how much blood comes out of you.” I shot back. Robert furrowed his eyebrows and looked at me like he’d just licked a lemon. “Yeah. Wish I didn’t have to know that too.” I said as I put the package back in the bag. “But…” I sighed as I handed him the money. “I’m gonna have to skip your tip. You forgot my painkillers.” I shook my head in mock disappointment. Robert chuckled and pulled a bottle out of his pocket.

“keep em.” He said with a wink. “I pulled a muscle the other day and grabbed some.” I nodded as I played with the bottle. “All better now.” He said, rotating his arm to prove it.

“thanks.” I said. “Tips already in there. But you knew that.” Robert nodded with a smile. “See you next week?”

“yeah. Unless you find something else that was forgotten.” He said with a smile.

“if I find out you left something out so you could come back…” I teased. “Asking me out would be easier.” Robert shrugged with a teasing look in his eye. Shaking my head, I held the door open for him.

“Well…” he shrugged. “See ya next week.” He winked at me before leaving. I shook my head with a smile. Closing my door, I turned back towards the bag. I groaned before grabbing the bottle and heading towards my kitchen. I grabbed a bottle of water before taking two of the pills. The bottle was left on my counter as I headed back to put my groceries away. I gripped the table as I felt the room sway, package of pads clinched tightly in the other hand. I felt my nails break the plastic wrap as I pitched to the side. My door opened and I hit the floor. I squeezed my eyes shut as the impact jostled me. a dark chuckle made me open them.

“Robert?” I slurred as he reached out and moved some hair out of my face.

“took you long enough sweetheart.” He chuckled. “Taking you out on a date isn’t enough.” My head lolled to the side as he picked me up.

“what do you mean?” I mumbled as it got harder to stay awake. “Robert…what…did…”

“I plan to keep you.” My door slammed shut behind him as he pulled me out to his truck. “Forever.”
