Captain Man x Reader | Danger Force Reader Insert: SEASON 1

Episode 11: The Thousand Pranks War Part 2

Days passed since the beginning of The Prank War, and with each dawn, the end became more and more obscure.

Neither Swellview nor Rivalton showed any interest in ending the bitter feud, with new, mischievous attacks happening daily – the latest more prank-tastic and devastating than the last. It was only to be expected as everyone took sides; those from Swellview jeered from their side of the Jandy River, and, on the other, Archduke Fernando led his fellow Rivaltons.

Amongst them stood Mika, who sneered at those who cast her out – namely Ray. Her deferment to the enemy left a bitter taste in the hero's mouth, and he swore he'd never trust that traitor again. How could he?

Not only had she ruined his gorgeous locks – which still required a wig to keep up the façade – but she was also the catalyst for his argument with his beloved wife. The hero blamed her, cursing her name every night when he slipped between icy bedsheets, longing for his sweet girl.

In all their years of dating, they'd never had a fight last this long, and it was beginning to show.

"Hey, Bosey..." muttered (y/n) as she plodded into The Nest, looking like a physical wreck. She heaved a heavy sigh as she plonked on the couch across from the boy, burrowing her ashen face in her arms on the table after another night of next to no sleep.

"Hey, (y/n/n)!" The boy chirped, although his chipper mood died when he saw her unkempt hair and baggy, Adam Sandler-like clothes. She didn't have the energy to get dressed nicely, too busy moping around and avoiding her doofus – kinda difficult when they lived in the same place.

She glanced at what he was doing and was surprised to see the boy writing a note with paper and a pencil. She didn't even know he could write. Or read. "What are you doing?"

"I'm writing my letter to the Tooth Fairy!" Bose told her happily, turning the sheet around so she could decipher his barely legible scrawl. "Y'know, 'cause of what happened..."

"Oh..." All the heroine did was nod, having heard through Schwoz's grapevine of the terrible rise in pranking, to which not even Danger Force was immune. Still, she chuckled and thought the kid was too old to write to the Tooth Fairy, not that she'd ever tell him and ruin that happy, go-lucky optimism.

"What are you telling her?"

"Do you want me to read it to you?" The boy asked, poking her forehead when his friend nuzzled into her arms again, clearly going through a severe doofus withdrawal.

(y/n) nodded, not even opening her eyes from the tiredness she felt. Everything felt so droopy and colourless, a symptom of barely being around Ray in days since they couldn't be in the same room without bickering, but she missed him. Oh, God, she missed him, sighing every few  minutes from the utter heartache in her chest. 

"Sure."

"Dear Tooth Fairy..." Always a good start. "This wretched Prank War with Rivalton rages on. I write to you because I recently bit into a prank sausage, resulting in the loss of my final baby tooth."

The woman couldn't help but raise her head at that, shaking it with exasperation. After checking the Man's Nest security cameras, everyone knew how The Archduke preyed on poor BrainStorm, luring him in with a frankfurter on a fishing line like a pig with a carrot. "What have I told you about eating random sausages, Bose?"

"Not too?" The boy winced. In hindsight, he felt a little dumb, prodding the empty, fleshy gap in his teeth, and he remembered the pain of biting into the rock-solid wiener.

"Exactly," (y/n) answered, although her smile was gentle as her gaze returned to his endearing letter. "Carry on. What else have you written?"

He cleared his throat and moved the tip of his pencil down the page, using it to find his place and follow the words – they could be so tricky sometimes. "Even worse than losing that tooth was losing my friend, Mika, to the other side. She pranks for those no-good Rivaltons ever since Ray banished her from Swellview."
