JJBA: Totally Unexpected

Reunion at the Fountain

( a/n warning, there's a mention of suicide)

3 years later, Joseph's POV

'I never thought I'd come back to Italy after all these yrs and not for a real state deal, man this takes me back.' I thought smiling as I sat on the fountain ledge reminiscing on the fight I had with Caesar that if anything was my introduction to the insane world of demon hunting and helping the soul reapers deal with supernatural creatures.

Along with that, I met quincies, other Fullbringers, and magic users that a quarter of the world population don't know that the world is a shit ton bigger and not small like they say with all the crazy crap I've seen. Looking up I watched a black-haired man with blue hair dyed streaks walk up, he was wearing a navy blue sweater and black jeans as he sat between me and another man.

The man was my age, he was wearing a grey fedora with a checkered strap, and he was wearing a matching grey jacket and black dress pants, my eyes widened a little bit looking back to the raven-haired man" Casey! You're still here?" I asked he snorted" I'm stationed here, by the way, whose blood was it leaking from the stone cross in the abandoned hotel?" He asked, a smirk coming to his face.

I scoffed holding back tears" it was Caesar's, don't get my hopes up." I said," do you remember what my zanpaktou ability is?" He asked' what are you getting at?' I thought but went along with it" yeah I still remember, it allows you to copy whoever you want with their abilities and personality with memory manipulation on the side." I said, Casey grinned standing up.

"Hey Casanova, get up." He said, I choked' do you mean...' I thought" I got over that nickname, I've been married for decades." The man in the fedora said, it felt like a rock hit me in the brain with that ridiculously familiar accent watching as he stood up, the moment I saw the dual purple tattoos under his eyes and the scars I nearly fell into the fountain with my shock but I sprung up screaming in joy and took him into a tight hug.

"How the hell are you still alive?!" I sobbed" the copy can bleed too, I pulled him out just before his battle was over, put him under the cloaking spell, manipulated that pillar man's memories, and there you go. it was to get you motivated." Casey explained, I glared at him"I was motivated! I had a fricken poison ring around my heart for crying out loud!" I shot back.

"That's the soul reapers for you, brilliant strategists, so what happened after Kars was dealt with?" Caesar asked," just give me a minute!" I hiccuped, and after a few more minutes of crying my eyes out we sat back down" you probably want to know what happened after Caesar was presumed dead." Casey said, "I would like to know, yes." I said.

1939, Casey's POV

Dismissing my shikai after sensing that Lisa Lisa and Joseph left the room to follow Wamu's blood trail and proceeded to heal Caesar"  why did you save me?" He asked softly, I grumbled" shut up! You went and committed suicide because of your damn pride, you should've waited for the other 2 to back you up but NOOO, you decided to be an idiot and fight a fallen angel that manipulates wind solo with nothing bubbles of different forms!" I scolded.

"It was a matter of my pride, you shouldn't have interfered," Caesar said, grumbling I stopped healing him, unsheathed my sword, and held it to his heart," say anything else and you'll end up dead by my hands! Your pride is now in Joseph's hands! Just accept it!" I yelled, his eyes widened, and then relaxed a little" if you say so." He said, sighing heavily I sheathed my sword and continued healing him.

"So what happens now?" Caesar asked" you are going to stay here for the next 6 yrs, war is on the horizon, and with the current fuhrer in Germany who just signed a pact with Russia is going to be violated at any time in the next several months, after that you will under no circumstances go and seek out or get involved with Joseph's antics, you got that?" I explained" crystal, I won't get involved with him, how long will I wait until I get to see him again?" Caesar asked.

"I don't know, it might take a few decades until another Soul Reaper tells him to go back to Italy, just suppress the signal your emitting," I said," what signal are you talking about?" He asked" if you're wondering about Joseph's mind reading it's an evolution of Hamon, it's called a Stand, your bubble launcher is also a Stand and they send out a signal to gain a friend, in Southern Japan a group of people has mastered this to the point of illusions, they call it elemental breathing and they're the demon slayers. A drawback of this signal is that you also attract the minority of Stand users who have gone insane with their power." I explained.

"I didn't see anything coming from Jojo's hand." Caesar said," I did, it was a purple rose bramble wrapped around your head when he was trapped in your bubble." I said finishing up healing him and we bailed.

Present day, Joseph's POV 

"I didn't see Hermit Purple back then." I said," you didn't make them visible to your eyes, were you able to see them after the battle with Kars?" Casey asked," a month after the battle so yes." I said smirking" that smirk says you lied to your family about that, did they get back at you?" Caesar asked," yeah, 3 yrs ago." I said.

"So what happened after your recovery?" Caesar asked," I got married to Suzi Q in Italy and we went to America, turns out she didn't send a call to the others that I wasn't, in fact, dead, thanks Stroheim - not, so I sent him a spite fuelled prank call and 2: Suzi started a prank war because of said omitted call, the Joestars are a family of pranksters, no surprise there and it lasted for 5 months." I explained.

"I do remember Lisa Lisa explaining that along with their tendency for pulling dark pranks," Caesar said," depends on their mood, their family curse broke 3 yrs ago with the death of Dio but there's still a mess to clean up." Casey said," damn, sounds like it didn't break at all but who am I to judge." Caesar said," yeah, we're going to need help cleaning the mess." I said," we've been doing that." Casey said.

"Anyway, do you still have my bandanna?" Caesar asked," yeah I did and then I gave it to my grandson when he was 10." I said," I would like to have it back." He said," dude, you looked better with it 51 years back." I said," I meant as a memento." He said I snorted looking back to Casey who was walking away, I smiled and we continued to catch up on everything that has happened over the last 5 decades.

(a/n, I'm pretty sure the prankster family thing is canon, there have been 5 prank wars after every mission, Speedwagon helped Jonathan start the first one, that's how he and Erina got engaged, the second one by Suzi, the third one Joseph ripped a page out of her book, there was a 2 year waiting period on the 4th one and Jotaro started it, the 5th was started by Mista and Trish)
