"You, probably."

The words spill from her lips on a breathy whisper, as distant as the images that flicker into existence between shifting curls of mist, there one moment and gone the next. Even as a silver gaze hungrily takes in the wrinkled face of an older Angelo, creased in achingly familiar humor, it fades back into the churning mass of possibility. Away from her reach.

"Seems like something you would do, Angel," Skyler says, grinning, "if only to watch me hit things with it."

To be able to see the slow wrinkling of Angelo's features, the silvering of his hair, the kiss of time's passage... 

Her forehead touches Angelo's gently, briefly. If longing touches a surface of darkened silver, it's expertly hidden by their proximity.

From over Angelo's shoulder, Skyler only catches the last moments of his vision. Confusion stretches itself across her face, though she's quick to squeeze his hand back, thumb sliding over the back of his hand. There's an uncharacteristically hesitance when her lips part and no words come out.

Then, slightly baffled- "I thought you didn't want kids?"

As if summoned by her words, an ominous flash of lightning materializes within fog. By the time thunder follows, Skyler catches sight of a figure leaning down above another. Another vision, framed in darkness and sheets of torrential rain.

The scent of the ocean is unmistakable, as is the splashes of blood that stain the deck of - is that the Sotally Tober? 

A cold shiver slides down her spine. 

Especially when she finds dulled ocean blue staring sightlessly at the clouded sky. And her own face staring down, blood-stained and alive with grim purpose. Teeth gritted savagely against the storm and - a blade in her hands.

This time it's her hand that squeezes his, and it's her lungs that struggle to breathe past the growing knot in her throat, past all the furious denial that has her suddenly surging forward. 

Dispelling the image with an aggressive swipe of her arm.

Now why would I do that?” Noticing her subtle shift, Angelo tilts his head down to accept the brief forehead touch. Blue eyes droop shut and a shoulder-loosening exhale slowly brushes past his lips, lulled by Skyler’s wordless comfort. [break][break]

We both know I’m the thing you’d hit the most.” [break][break]

Although his gaze diverts from the image of their golden days spent blessed beneath sunshine and palm trees, his mind lingers on silver eyes framed by wrinkles, still sparkling with mischief and fire. [break][break]

To stretch the moments shared until they’re both slow and grey, contently weathered by traversing time’s long road together. He doesn’t think he’d ever not be greedy for more.[break][break]

For a moment, Angelo relishes in the familiar feel of her calloused thumb caressing the back of his hand, until their silence is broken by two questions. Each about as bewildered as the last. “What’re you talking about?” [break][break]

He wouldn’t get an answer, however. Not when the scent of maelstrom and blood washes over him, their next possibility rushing over with all the unrelenting cruelty of a winter storm. Numbingly cold. Lifelessness illuminated in a flash of lightning. [break][break]

Angelo only gets a moment to see the scene but even in all of its bloodied, dark hopelessness, it doesn’t spark a reaction in him as fierce as the look on Skyler’s face when she frantically tries to banish the image away. [break][break]

Hey, Sky. Baby. Look at me.” Despite lunging after her with fierce purpose, his touch on her cheek is far gentler. Even when tugging Skyler’s chin his way, determined to pull her attention towards the present. Towards him. “It’s not real. I'm right here. Always will be, alright?” [break][break]

Attentively, his thumb brushes her cheekbone as uncontrollable vows he intends to honour are made, watching the play of emotions brewing in storm cloud eyes and willing it to move along. Just as they should be... [break][break]

Let’s go. We’ve got an exit to find.” Fingers enclose around Skyler’s hand, squeezing with the same firm resolve as his voice. Encouraging her to join him as he stands. [break][break]

It’s as Angelo gets to his feet however, that colour blooms vibrant behind him. Another window of possibility drawing back the curtains to reveal their next performance. [break][break]

Verdant violently sways, fronds of lush jungle foliage dancing as figures race through the labyrinth of green. Blades of wild wind slash through the labyrinth of tree trunks, water threatening to tear them from their roots. [break][break]

And in the corner of his gaze, a familiar smirk flashes nearly as bright – triumphant – as the gold that sparkles in his grip…

The smile that briefly flashes, shameless, down at Angelo seems to agree with his interpretation of things: that he'd be the favorite target for her future-maybe-cane, should both of them survive long enough to make it to retirement in, apparently, Alola.

Every evidence of its existence is erased by the next vision. When Angelo finally manages to pull her attention back to him, her face is pale and the silver of her eyes is darkened by an ugly maelstrom. Denial. Fear. Anguish. Fury.

Little by little, the slow rasp of his fingers on her skin unwinds the knot in her throat, and Skyler finds herself lightly pressing her lips to his hand. He's the safe shore she always comes back to whenever the ocean grows too rough.

No matter how passionate, no sailor wants to be forever at sea.

She leans down to press her lips to his, muscles relaxing as she basks in the simple fact of Angelo's existence, in his solid warmth under her, in the eyes that chase after her like she's the freedom of the deep blue skies. Hers, in every sense of the word.

His, too.

The 'I love you' doesn't make it past her lips, not yet, but it's etched in the way she chooses to follow him always into the next adventure, towards glory and ruin both. 

"D'you have any idea where to go? Or where we came from, for that matter?" The mist blurs any distinguishable features in the landscape, save for the visions that churn amongst foggy curls.

Before a decision can be reached, the sound of a foul curse uttered in an entirely too-familiar voice has her turning back.

The triumphant smirk amongst leaves of green has an edge that she's seen many times before. But not quite like this...

'Get your ass back here with my treasure, you -' The next string of profanities assures her that this is, indeed, herself. Growled threats follow in Angelo's wake as vision-Skyler races after him, fury flaring bright in her eyes and promising painful retribution.

They reach a sandy beach, verdant green giving way to deep cerulean. Vision-Skyler is a mess, and looks as if she'd brought half the jungle with her in her hair. Twin spotches of red color her cheeks, either due to exertion or to anger - or maybe both. 

Either way, she looks as if she's about to commit murder.

"Vestri." She spats his surname out like a curse, like she's about to declare war on him and his whole legacy.

"Give it back."

Enthralled, Skyler leans forward to watch the scene unfold.

Angelo’s fingertips, solid and warm and real, have enough time to give Skyler’s hand a brief squeeze before the next vision ensnares their attention away. Reassurance resonating through a singular, simple gesture of a calloused thumb rasping over sun kissed skin – that they’re in it together. Always. [break][break]

No idea,” he admits, a flash of boundless cerulean peering at his beloved over his shoulder. “But we’ll find it.” [break][break]

It’s what they did, after all. What they’d always done. Always will, he’s sure. [break][break]

This was just another adventure in their logbook of wild tales and perilous escapades. [break][break]

All the while they become transfixed by an adventure that had never been.[break][break]

Come on, Dross!” Says the version of him on the beach, finding the breath to toss petty taunts over his shoulder even with sweat trickling down his neck. “Not getting tired already, are ya?” [break][break]

While she looks like she’s ready to burn his lineage to the ground, exertion does not make the triumph that spreads across his features fade. Cerulean eyes are as consuming as the ocean, devouring whatever pebbles and seashells lay within its wake. [break][break]

A slightly different flavour from Angelo’s own… [break][break]

Apparent in how when vision-Angelo takes a leap to grasp hold of a Salamence’s neck, his draconic beast taking his feet off the ground in a storm of sand. The stolen flash of gold is tossed and snatched out of the air in a scratched hand. Arrogant as sin. They spark to life at Skyler’s fury, her desperation nothing but fuel.[break][break]

You’re not going to kick my ass from all the way back there, Dross!” [break][break]

The real Angelo raises a brow, peering at his Skyler out of the corner of his gaze. “How'd you feel about going on an expedition together when we get back?” [break][break]

He hides a smile, poorly.

Bereft of her prized treasure, the other version of Skyler grits her teeth savagely at the taunts that come her way. Despite the foliage that has seen fit to make a home out of her mess of golden curls, vision-Skyler somehow manages to make it look menacing. "Running away again, Vestri? Figures. Never seen a man leave my bed that fast either." Her teeth flash in a parody of their playful real-life banter, bloodthirsty.

While vision-Angelo takes to the air in a flurry of sand and ruby-red wings, a shape materializes by Skyler's side. Real Skyler blinks at the familiar star-shaped pokemon as it exerts Gravity on the airborne dragon and its rider, stalling their departure.

"Now come here and give me a kiss, lover." Skyler approaches him, silver eyes flashing like a freshly-whetted knife and equally as threatening. Around them, gravity seems to grow stronger. "Before I make you."

Soon the mists encroach upon the vision, colors fading as it dissipates into the ether. Real Skyler blinks, startled. She'd been really getting into it...

"I might find some time in my busy schedule for you, Angel." She catches his gaze with her own, traveling down to linger on the tempting curve of his lips. "If you make it worth my while." Her grin deepens. "And if don't run away from my bed. I quite like you there." 

The mists part at their passage, and despite the slivers of alternate realities that cross their path at times, none lingers long enough to tell a story. That is, until...

Mommy! Daddy!


"Oh, fuck no." Skyler ducks under an open window to yet another vision, all but dragging Angelo with her at the sound of childish voices.

The finale of the clash between they alternate selves is a muffled blur, their electric tension lost as Angelo’s attention focuses on the Skyler Dross he loves. [break][break]

Even now, after hearing those tones countless times before, he’s helpless to not lean into the flirtatious curl of her tongue. Pulled in by the burning of her gaze, lingering on his lips. “Anyone tell you you're a saint of generosity, mia amata?” [break][break]

Everything else, even an alternative dimension filled with twisted visions and droves of Unown eyes looming, is inconsequential.[break][break]

Can't say I haven't been tempted once or twice. You're not an elegant snorer.” [break][break]

They carry on through the mist after that, bypassing snippets of images that fail to ensnare their attention like the previous. Slithers of realities slipping beneath their radar, at least, until she’s suddenly dragging him down… [break][break]

Damnit, Sky. You trying to rip my arm out of my shoulder?” His voice tumbles out in a hiss as she forcibly leads him towards the ground, but there’s little irritation to be found there, not when his focus is mainly captured by the voice beyond the mist. [break][break]

Mommy! Daddy! echoes in his ears, rippling down into his chest. It’s not an uncomfortable feeling, he finds. But unlike the image of their older figures, longing does not manifest. [break][break]

C’mon. Let's take a look.” Angelo chuckles quietly, only partially motivated by her apparent repulsion. Curiosity primarily guides the pilot to rise to one knee, peering over the edge of the window so he can catch a glimpse of the scene. [break][break]

At first glance, Angelo can’t tell whether the child is a daughter or a son but the child is, without a doubt, definitely theirs.[break][break]

From the way storm grey eyes are focused on the task ahead, charging unconcerned through the apartment with their fist clutched around a grumbling Dorado’s paw and a band aid sits on their nose with tiny Ducklett print. [break][break]

How their hair is a wild mane of chocolate brown like a bird’s nest, curly and probably scarcely seen the tooth of a comb. [break][break]

Angelo can’t help but scoff in amusement under his breath as the footfalls make an impressive thundering as they burst through the apartment, on a mission. Even more so when an older, greyer Dorado looks less than pleased, being dragged around by the spawn of his beloved Captain.[break][break]

Look wha’ me an’ Dory found on the deck! [break][break]

In their hand is a broken Corsola horn, pink and blue. Nothing particularly special if you take walks down the beach often. And yet they hold it up high for inspection, bouncing on the tip of their toes as they pass it over to a version of them who’s backs are turned to the window. [break][break]

Is it tweasuwe? Is it?! They ask, toothy grin beaming and proud. [break][break]

What’s the matter, sunshine? It's not like it's us us, right? You're safe.” He asks, glancing towards his wife with a lopsided smile.

She feels her momentum slow down to a stop, arm stretched taut as Angelo stalls their progress to peer up at the vision Skyler had been trying to avoid. She's sure he's doing it on purpose, but the curiosity in his eyes is also reflected in hers. And so she follows, grumbling all the way, to peer up at the child that could only be theirs.

Her eyes and unruly mess of curls, his hair color. A mix of features that could be either, being far too young to have fully grown into them. Longing doesn't settle into her, but her hand tightens around Angelo's, almost painfully.

It isn't a future Skyler has ever pictured for herself despite the countless jokes she's done about it. Even so, she finds her eyes fixated on following the small human being as they excitedly (and very loudly, to her amusement) make their way to the deck, dragging an unfortunate Dorado behind them. 

Cute...

"Is this your revenge on Dorado, Angel?" The older cat does seem less than enthused at being this child's favorite toy. "Roundabout way of going about it."

One of the figures crouches down to talk to the child, turning just enough to unveil an older Angelo's profile. How much older, she can't really tell. 

Skyler whistles, impressed. "Have I ever told you that you look really good with a beard?" Her eyes flick to the remnants of stubble on Angelo's face, mentally juxtaposing the older version over the real one. "Lookin' rugged, baby." And unfairly handsome too.

The vision flickers, drawing Skyler's eyes to it. A frown creases the skin between her eyebrows as a familiar beach takes the place of the former scenario, stretching empty save for two figures in the shallows.

"Come on, Lil Ducklett. I won't let go, I promise." 

She finds herself easily, halfway sunk into the ocean while her arms reach for a grey-eyed child. Their swimsuit has the words 'Sun's out, guns out'. A Lapras float sits around the kid's waist as they fearlessly waddle into the water. Their face is one of deep concentration, stubby legs kicking determinedly (and ineffectively) at the water.

Vision-Skyler is barely containing her laughter, so much so that she almost doesn't notice the rogue wave that draws near. Her hand immediately shoots out to grab at the child's ankles, but by the time the wave passes they're still pretty much waterlogged.

"Fuck!"

Real Skyler blinks at the foul curse that leaves the kid's mouth in a squeaky voice. Then she loses it, laughter spilling from her mouth as she clutches at her belly.

That's their child alright.

What big discovery have you found, my Stellina?” Vision-Angelo asks his child, crouching down to inspect the shard of Corsola horn that’s placed onto his scarred, outstretched palm.[break][break]

Carefully, he turns it over in his fingers and points to the tiny branches of colourful coral with embellished tales of worth. All eagerly consumed beneath innocent, enraptured grey eyes. [break][break]

Their child isn’t the only one absorbed. [break][break]

For a long time, Angelo had been certain that children of his own was not meant for him, no matter the path that he walked. Not for a lack of dislike, mind you. It was a personal choice crafted from many years playing caretaker – or second father, some could argue – for his siblings. [break][break]

Now that he forged his own way, going back to a world of tethers and bonds was none to appealing… [break][break]

So… If this is weally, weally special I can go on the next a’ventuwe with you!? Wight?! [break][break]

Even if the fragment of this potential future has him squeezing Skyler’s hand just as tightly in return, an anchor when a part of himself wavers soft. [break][break]

Hm?” His gaze flickers towards his beloved as she draws his attention away, catching molten silver eyes lingering on his face with familiar appreciation. Of its own volition a lopsided grin materialises, chest warm. [break][break]

Yeah?” An arm winds behind her, fingertips lightly slipping into a golden mane of curls as he guides the captain’s head into a slight tilt towards him. The scratchy surface of his cheek brushes her skin, sharp in contrast to the kiss and whisper hushed against her temple. “Maybe I could be convinced to grow it out… If you ‘make it worth my while’.” [break][break]

When Angelo peers back to the scene, it’s already dissolving like paint dipped into a cup of water, bleeding into a different spectrum of colours and shapes. Transporting them to a familiar stretch of beach. [break][break]

There’s nothing particularly abnormal about the next tease of a life that did not quite belong to them, just a mother teaching their child how to swim in the ocean. [break][break]

And yet it’s not exactly mundane either, is it? Because it’s Skyler and it's their child.[break][break]

Skyler, older with sharpened features and fierce battle scars, uttering sweet terms of endearment to their kid in attire so obviously chosen by them. (He could see her picking out that Lapras inflatable ring and himself the swimsuit.) She's ever beautiful, unfairly alluring, even in this world that takes them out of their normality. [break][break]

Real Angelo is already laughing at the sight of her and his kid being nearly swept away by the stray wave. But it’s the swear word that rips, foul and so full of emotion, from such a small child that has him howling with fingers clutching onto his wife’s arm to keep himself standing. [break][break]

O-Oh fuck… We'd make shit parents.” He doesn't sound repentant about it in the slightest.[break][break]

That’s when the Unown find them, their approach silent. Although they probably wouldn’t have been heard over the roars of laughter, anyway. They float around Angelo and Skyler’s doubled over forms in a dance that sees them drifting close then out again, encouraging them to follow. [break][break]

Ready to go, babe?” Angelo asks her, taking in a breath to ease his laughter. A smile still remains on his face when he reaches out to brush the cheek where a scar may or may not tear in the days to come, lips finding hers in a kiss that's unashamedly loving. [break][break]

Maybe they’d meet 'Lil Ducklett' in the future. Maybe not. But for now, they had their own path to find – to create. [break][break]

As long as they were with Skyler, then it would be a happy one.
