Decades Between Us

(iris - the goo goo dolls )

George walked through the forest, he'd let his wings out. He wanted to try get used to his abilities, so he'd have more of an advantage in the future.

George raised his hand, clay said it should just come naturally. He noticed smoke appearing from his hand, he picked up a stick and it instantly set on fire, he blew on it to put it out. Handy to know.

He stared at a log, he focused and to his surprise it started to lift he threw it mentally and it crashed into a tree smashing.

he took a notepad and jotted down what he was aware of so far

• Telekinesis
• Element Manipulation
• Flying
• Strength
• Speed
• Natural physical mutation
• Phasing

he heard a twig snap in the distance and looked up, schlatt was approaching his hands in the air, he walked with a terrible limp and one of his horns was completely snapped off, a scar across his eye.

"Killin me would put me out my misery" he chuckled, he sat on a log stump

"what do you want schlatt"
"he killed tubbo"
"i'm surprised you care"
schlatt looked slightly shocked at georges comment
"i might have been a shit dad; he was still my son though. Of course i fuckin' care" he spat
"he didn't like you"
"don't you think i know that, ever since his mom died he's hated my guts, don't blame him either"
"your wife's dead?"
"We were divorced, she didn't like me either, one time fling turned into a kid what can i say i didn't expect to be a parent, nobody gives you a manual on this shit."
"i'm sorry for your loss"
"yknow, i don't think she's dead. i think she faked it"
"what makes you say that schlatt?"
"the union was on her ass, she probably pretended to off herself to escape it, don't blame her either. Left me with the kid though"
george sat in silence unknowing of how to react

"you were when he died, right?"
george nodded
"was he- was he in pain?" schlatt sighed
"it was quick if that's what you're asking"
"that fucking pink haired fucker beat the shit out of me and took him- i shoulda- i shoulda fought more" he let out a heavy sigh, his voice shook through it.
"there's nothing any of us could've done"
"i s'pose youre right, he just deserved better."
"he was a sweet kid"

"i was watching you, somebodies gotten powerful" schlatt chuckled
"is that the only reason youre not beating my arse right now?"
"no i've just decided to be less of a dick now"
"hm"
"i'm sorry george, for the way i treated you"
george shrugged
"now tubbos gone i don't have anybody"
"i don't know what you expect me to say schlatt" and with that george flew back home leaving the conversation abruptly, he didn't sympathise for schlatt in the slightest.

He stopped in his tracks noticing bad, bad was talking to a figure, the figure was tall, large wings.

philza?

that doesn't make sense.

philza is meant to be dead?

bad nodded and philza disappeared, bad continued to walk back to the house.

George flew to his bedroom window and went through that way, startling clay

"george i'm live!" he yelled muting
"oh shut it! i just saw something weird"
"what?" he groaned
"philza"
"he's dead though?"
"he was just talking to bad"
"bad? are you sure"
"no clay i'm lying"
"oh right the-"
"OF COURSE IM BLOODY SURE"
"no need to yell" clay frowned
"i'm sorry, just stressed" george planted a kiss on clays head and retracted his wings which soon disappeared.

karl felt sapnaps chest rise and fall beneath him, he stood and walked to the living room.

just as he suspected, bad was talking to skeppy. Karl observed

"so does techno know he's really alive?"
"no, he believes he's dead too skeppy"
"then why did he come to you?"
"he needs my help"
"with?"
"overthrowing the union"
"bad! you can't do that, it's too dangerous"
"if i lose my life so those i care about can be safe, i'd say that's a pretty honourable death"
"bad" skeppy frowned
"besides geppy, we can be little ghosties together!"
"hm, okay"

karl gasped and headed back to his room.
this isn't what happened in the time jump.
