Chapter 3! 

I don't know why but I want to make references to this in Blended with Love

bonus:

Inspiring ;-;

I was shocked when I realized this 😳

For today's prompt, I give you the youngest I've ever drawn Jedediah. He's roughly 5 years old and has been in a test tube his whole life besides the few moments Winston takes to teach him to walk, eat, and breathe.

From day 1 Winston has kept the young boy a secret from his family. Only he knows that the day of the explosion, the day of young Kaaru's birth, a second child was born. Her twin brother.

He had given the boy a name and a purpose, knowing that the Asian archer and cowboy would never let him near their daughter unsupervised.

He named him Jedediah Sherbert Shimada-Mccree.

And his purpose?

Winston's labrat.

But the boy is dying and only one thing can save him.

Will she find him in time?

The Beginning part 18

Angela brings Kaaru back to the kitchen, all the measurements done and accounted for.

“Here you go Hanzo. All done.” She says, handing Kaaru back to her eagerly awaiting parent who holds her close and safe.

Hanzo smiles at Kaaru as she nuzzles into him. She reaches up and plays with his beard, smiling at him as he holds her.

“Go get ready, Anija. Then I’ll drive you two to the store.” Genji says, doing the dishes.

Hanzo nods and takes his daughter back to his room, changing her onesie and his kimono into some casual clothing. She giggles and smiles at him. He smiles back and sits with her on the bed, letting her look at Jesse as he lays unconscious.

She waves her little arms at him and Hanzo chuckles.

“That’s your papa little one.” He smiles softly, letting her sit on Jesse’s chest.

She looks at him curiously and pats his chest, trying to wake up Jesse.

“No no sweetheart.” Hanzo says, taking her off him. “Papa won’t wake up.” He says, with a sigh, taking her to the lobby to meet up with Genji.

Kaaru is then subjected to the pinching and pulling of her cheeks from rude store clerks and old ladies trying to help Hanzo find the best things for his new baby, three women, all pregnant, yelling at one another who had the best baby food for a newborn.

Genji had to break them up and stop the fighting to keep Hanzo from mentally breaking about baby food.

“Come on bro. Let’s just go look at cribs.” Genji says, dragging his brother away from the three women.

Hanzo looks at the wide selection and tries to find the best thing for his daughter.

“What about this one? It vibrates to help babies go to sleep easier.” Genji says.

“I don’t know.” Hanzo sighs in defeat.

Genji hums and grabs the crib before looking at his brother.

“Take a deep breath. Then look at Kaaru. She is going to be your pride and joy. You’re going to be raising this woman-to-be in the next 18 years to come. Maybe even longer. She will look up to you. And she will love you regardless. Kaaru is your baby. I am not here to tell you how to raise her, but I am telling you how to make the best decisions on how to raise her. Think about the woman you want to see this baby become. Then decide which thing of baby food, or clothing, or diaper brand is best to help make that happen.” He says.

Hanzo smiles softly and nods.

“Thank you, Genji.” He says as they finish up their shopping trip.

Genji nods and takes them back to the base, helping Hanzo build the crib and set up what they can for Kaaru as she sits on the bed watching them.

The Beginning part 6

Kaaru pants as she stops at a tree, the sun starting to rise.

“Ya had ta choose the largest hill.” She says as Jesse plops down beside her. 

She sits down and sighs, Jesse curled up in the serape to hide from the rising sun.

“Yeah yeah. I’m tired.” He groans. 

She huffs and lays down, tired too. 

“Ya want more story?” She asks and he nods with a little groan.

~storytime~

Hanzo hums as he thinks of questions that may be able to be asked of the girl without screwing with the timeline. 

“Which language were you brought up in? Japanese or English?” Mccree asks and she looks away.

“Neither actually. My first language is ASL.” She says as Toby licks her cheek. 

“What? Why?” Hanzo asks, confused why they would do that and not teach her to speak their languages.

“Y-You’ll find out once I’m born.” She says and they nod. “Any other questions?” 

“How old are you?” Hanzo asks.

“Almost 16. I think. Time is a little funny for me.” She says as Toby hops down and tugs her pant leg of her pajamas. “And it’s my bedtime. Good night you two. I’ll see you and your younger doubles from 15 ish years ago in the morning.” She says, waving to the highly confused men as Toby waddles behind her.  

They go to bed, curious what she meant by younger doubles and come morning people are running around freaking out. 

Except for the girl. She looks absolutely calm and collected, like she expected it to happen.

“Hey kid, what’s goin on?” Mccree asks, yawning as he puts on his prosthetic arm for the day, having taken it off so he wouldn’t get Hanzo cold. 

“New arrivals. 22 year old Jesse Mccree and 23 year old Hanzo Shimada. They’re both passed out from the sudden time jump in the infirmary.” She shrugs. 

“What are ya talkin about? I’m 37 and very much awake.” He says and she laughs. 

“Sorry no but they’re your younger self, being brought here by the major time table event that’s going to happen. It’s a fixed point in time and enable for it to work 2 versions of the people that will be majorly affected within the past and future 20 years will come and be put through an experiment they won’t remember to create the thing that will change the course of their present versions lives forever.” She says and Hanzo frowns at her, wearing a white kimono coincidently. 

“So you’re saying you brought them here.” He says and she nods. 

“Pretty much. Let’s go see em! I’ve only visited the past twice and both times you two acted like total cheese balls.” She smiles before making a mad dash to the infirmary.

“Total… cheese balls?” Hanzo asks, assuming it’s something that Mccree would say. 

“Don’t look at me like that Han.” Mccree frowns as they follow the girl to the infirmary. 

“Like what?” Genji asks, butting into the conversation as he starts to walk with them.

“Like I’m you.” Mccree says and walks faster as the doors to the infirmary are opened by the girl.

“Agent Mcada recognized. Access granted.” Athena chimes and Mccree and Genji stop dead in their tracks.

“What’s wrong?” Hanzo questions. 

“Agent Mcada was a friend of ours in BlackWatch. But she died during a raid.” Mccree shakes his head. 

“Incorrect my fine gentlemen! Now hurry yer butts up!” She says, poking her head out of the door. 

The three men go in, only to find a 23 year old man, who looks identical to how Hanzo did, yelling at a 22 year old man, who is identical to how Mccree did, in japanese, using foul language and hitting the younger with a hospital pillow.

The girl interjects and the young Mccree hugs her. 

“Mcada! How’s my time travelin future daughter doin?” He smiles widely. 

“Oh ya know, just a little older and a whole lot more grounded.” She smiles before the young Hanzo yanks her away from Mccree.

~reality~ 

Kaaru laughs a bit at her story before realising Jesse is already asleep. She smiles and turns over and dozes off herself with one final goodnight to the boy.

The swarm has arrived

I just had a thought.

In FNAF Security Breach, Vanessa confronts Freddy in the Utility tunnels. Everyone knows this fact because of all the memes made from it.

But while writing out my Blended with Love au, I was rewatching clips of the actual conversation to get the wording closer to the game dialogue before my au would break away from the canon time line.

But I noticed something in this line.

"Ok, look. We're like fifteen minutes from closing, and some kid is sneaking around backstage. If you see ANYTHING, notify me immediately. I already alerted the others. Now, go back to your room!"

By itself it doesn't seem odd at all until you start to think about when you're first introduced to Vanessa while in Freddy's room.

She's looking around in the main walking area for Gregory. Not in the rooms.

So why would she say "backstage"?

My theory is that this is an activation phrase.

These animatronics are made to entertain children and make their visit memorable. So it's safe to assume that part of their safety protocols is to not harm a child.

The Afton corruption overrides that and puts them into a hunting mode.

But how do they stay safe while there's hundreds of children in the pizzaplex?

That's where the activation phrase comes into play.

The activation phrase would activate a dormant version of the Afton corruption and then it would make the animatronics unsafe for children.

So when Vanessa says "some kid is sneaking around backstage" she's trying to activate the dormant corruption inside Freddy. But it didn't work. Which is also why he also didn't immediately go back to his room when told and why he promises to help Gregory at any cost.

That's my rant for the day.

Peace.
