It was Christmas, but there was no tree in Morgan’s apartment. It was Christmas but there were no presents in Morgan’s apartment. It was Christmas but there was no hot chocolate, or cookies, or even slight smiles. It was Christmas and the only other people in Morgan’s apartment were a few of their atheist and non-religious henchmen. It was Christmas and Morgan was putting the final touches on a heist that was going to happen in five hours. “Alright, I think we’re good, go home, get some rest, just remember to meet me in the back of the bank in five hours.” And all the henchmen started filing out of the room.
TW: SELF HARM
Morgan was perfectly fine
They walked into the kitchen
Everything was perfectly fine
They saw the knife
She was fine
They grabbed the knife
It was fine
They sat down
She was ok
They rolled up their sleeve
Everything was ok
They made a cut on their wrist
Everything was not ok
Their other wrist
She was not ok
More cuts
It was not fine
Up their forearms
She was not fine
Both sides of their arms
Everything was not perfectly fine
On their hands
Morgan was not perfectly fine
Everywhere
Fuck
TW OVER
Morgan almost used up the rest of their bandages, she should really buy some more. Never mind that, she had a heist to get to. They put on their black undershirt and yellow tank top, as well as some jeans, and she was ready to go.
The heist was a success, no hitches at all whatsoever, everything they planned for happened and they got out scot free nothing else happened.
Morgan had a fairly high pain tolerance and ignored most of her nausea, so when she collapsed on her kitchen floor she was fairly surprised, until they went to feel their arm and felt the wet stickiness of blood “fuck” they said and grabbed thier phone “hey Siri, Call Diego”
Diego was having fun during Christmas, her and Dave were at the Stewart’s because Dave’s best friend since highschool was a Stewart, specifically Atlas Stewart, the twin sister of Alex. So yeah, Diego was having fun, then they got a call from their older sibling “hey Morgs, wadayaneed” “I need more blood, sleep, food, water, and to not see or hear or smell anything that resembles Alex Stewart for a good few days at least.” “Oh shit, ok,” Diego started heading upstairs and motioning for Alex’s mother to follow, “stay with me ok? Don’t fall asleep yet, I’ll teleport you here in a minute” Diego was spraying febreeze that she knew was different from the ones Alex’s parents or Alex got “ok, can I close my eyes?” “Yeah but don’t stop talking, have you done any heist’s recently?” She started setting up an IV and heart rate monitor that Alex’s mom had made “Yeah! Actually I just got back from one!” “That’s cool, I’m going to teleport you to me now ok?” She shewed Alex’s mom out of the room “Kay” and Morgan was now there, in one of the Stewart’s guest rooms bleeding out, bandages on their arms and legs at ten fifty seven AM on Christmas Day.
It was now twelve twenty three PM on Christmas day Morgan was no longer bleeding out, but still quite low on blood, eating a meal that was actually good for them, and blasting their music. Everyone else was downstairs, listening to Diego explain the situation, Alex’s (soon to be dead) current girlfriend quite was confused “who-” she started before Alex cut her off “I swear to god, if you do not shit the fuck up you will stain my parents carpet with your all of your blood and internal organs!” Alex yelled at the same time Morgan paused their music
Morgan & Diego
Morgan: please give me context for that yell
Morgan: I need to know if I want to fight him or give him a second chance
Morgan: PLEASE!
Diego: I believe it’s the latter?
Diego: Apparently he planned to kill her at the wedding?
Diego: she kept talking
Diego: she’s dead now
Morgan: lol ok
Diego: Do you not believe me?
Diego: I will send you a picture
Morgan: no I believe you, just trying to process this
Morgan: tell Alex that I will text him when I’m ready to talk to him again
Diego: I’ll tell him when he comes back
Diego: I’m fairly sure he’s putting her heart on the desk of that one guy that totally had a crush on her
Diego: these are all red flags btw
Morgan: ik
Morgan: I’m still falling in love again tho
Morgan: tell him I want to talk to him when he comes back
Diego: don’t die
Morgan: I’ll try not to
A few minutes later Morgan heard a knock on their door “Come in!” Alex Sterling, the S-Tier villain, one of the only S-Tiers, walked in carefully and cautiously said “hi” softly causing Morgan to smile softly and say “hello” “I am so sorry.” Alex began “I know and I don't think I can forgive you just yet, but I do still love you, I always will” Morgan said, still smiling “That’s more that I deserve, I love you too.”
