Mr. Mysterious: Technoblade

"I'll go," Purple said and ran. Quackity and Techno dug a tunnel for the hostages and I stayed where I was. There was a gurgling sound behind me and I sighed.

"Yes?" I asked.

"I'm sorry," Ranboo said in enderman.

"There's nothing you can do about it."

"I thought you were gods."

"We are. We're not supposed to die. That's the thing." He was quiet and I turned to him. "Are you okay? You were enderwalking," I said.

"I'm okay," he said in English. "Thanks." I nodded and sighed.

"I-I should get going," I said.

"Yeah, of course," he said and I walked away.

"Scar..." Techno said at the exit.

"I'm not sad. He still has 2 canon lives left. I'm more worried. He's a god, he shouldn't be able to die," I said and walked past him. I saw Puffy crying on the bench to the side and walked up to her. "Hey, mom," I said and sat with her.

"I let him die," she said and sobbed. "One child is dead and the other is in jail. What did I do wrong? You're the only one that turned out okay," she said.

"Far from that, mom. I need to find out what happened to Foolish. We're gods. We shouldn't be able to die."

"Stay here with me for a while," Puffy said and I nodded. Ranboo walked by with Techno and Quackity.

"She should come with us," Techno mouthed to me.

"Mom, come to our place," I said and she didn't argue.

"I want to see Dream before we go," she said. Sam let us in and it was Techno, Puffy, and I. Dream looked at me and sighed.

"I told you not to come unless I called-" He started.

"Foolish was killed," I said.

"What?" He asked.

"We went to the banquet," Puffy said.

"And? Mom, who killed him?" Dream asked.

"Antfrost."

"Did you kill him?" Dream asked Techno and me.

"She did. Quackity and I got everyone out. Purpled followed Bad, Hannah, and Punz. We don't know where he is yet," Techno said.

We took Puffy to the house and Phil looked out his window. He saw Puffy looking sad and immediately came over with Jonathan.

"What happened?" Phil asked.

"Foolish was killed," Techno told him.

"Mama, who's this?" Jonathan whispered to me.

"Mama?" Puffy asked. "Since when do you have a son?"

"We adopted him a while ago," Techno told her.

"You two are... married and have a child?" She asked.

"Yeah," I said. "Jonathan, you know how that's grandpa Phil on dad's side? This is my mom," I said.

"Granma Puffy," he said and hugged her leg. She was in shock before she picked him up.

"Hi," she said and teared up. "Aww."

"Gold," he looked at her dress.

"It's late. You wanna put him to bed?" I asked Techno.

"Give him a bit," he said.

"Grandpa Phil gave me a n-neth-neth..." Jonathan said.

"Netherite," Phil said.

"Netherite shovel."

"A shovel, Phil? You couldn't give him a sword?" Techno asked.

"Sword!" Jonathan got his gold one and ran to Techno. "Dada, you promised we could go late night training."

"Ask your mom," Techno said.

"Mama...?"

"Keep him safe," I said.

"I teleport!" Jonathan teleported outside and I smiled.

"I'll bring him back soon," Techno gave me a kiss and left. Puffy went home after calming down and Phil went to look for Techno and Jonathan. They came back and Jonathan was happy. He was covered in blood though.

"I'll run a bath," I said and started one. Jonathan got in and I cleaned him, wrapping him in a warm towel. "Go get ready for bed and I'll read you a story," I said. He did and I got a book. "How about Six of Crows? It's like Phil," I said.

"Yeah!" Jonathan laid down and I started reading. He fell asleep soon enough and I set the book aside. I looked up and Techno was standing at the door. He gave me a smile and walked away. I followed and he kept walking.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Nether," he said.

"Why?" I asked.

"I wanna find netherite."

"I wanna come." I told Phil to watch over Jonathan and went mining with Techno.

"You find anything?" He asked in piglin.

"Yep," I said in English, handing it to him.

"You don't have to give it to me all the time," he switched languages.

"Yeah, but I'm not the one who needs it."

"Oh, right. You're Miss I'm-A-God-And-Don't-Need-Netherite-Because-I-Have-A-Trident-That-Kills-People," Techno said and I laughed. "Miss I'm-Better-Than-My-Husband. Miss All-Powerful." He started muttering to himself until I gave him a hug.

"Mr. I'm-Jealous-Of-My-Wife," I laughed and let go.

"Come on. Let's go home," he said with a smile and I nodded. "It's hard to be our old selves now," Techno said.

"Mh-Hm. Now we have actual responsibilities," I said and he chuckled.

"I don't mind. Jonathan's a good kid. I'm getting better at parenting, but I do need my time with you."

"Something we should think about setting up."

"Preach." We walked into the house and to Jonathan's room to find the couch from our room moved into his. Phil was fast asleep on it with Jonathan curled into him. I looked at techno and his ears had dropped. He had tears in his eyes and noticed me, so he turned and walked away.

"I'm fine," he said when I followed.

"You softie," I smiled. He went to sleep and I joined him. The next day, I made breakfast as he sat on the couch, playing with his horse skull mask.

"Hey. I'm sorry about sleeping over," Phil came down and told me.

"It's fine," I smiled.

"Your ears are down. What's wrong?" Phil asked Techno who didn't respond.

"He saw you and Jonathan sleeping last night and he thought it was cute. Though he won't admit it." Phil walked out of the house and I followed. "Phil," I called and he turned.

"Yeah?" Phil asked with his hands in his pockets.
