[On Hold!] Joker of the Cards (Epithet Erased X F! Reader [Story])

Chapter 5-- Fort Cool Guy! ...And Family Issues.

"Wait, what are we doing again?" (Y/N) asked as she was walking around with Giovanni and Molly.

"We're looking around to see where we'll put up our fort!" Giovanni answered looking around.

"Oh! Right." (Y/N) nodded. A few minutes of searching passed before Molly decided to speak up.

"How about in there?" Molly suggested as she pointed to a large room. It looked like a nature exhibit. There were sections with animal modules and in the middle of the room, there was a large column that went pretty high up. Surrounding the column were a few metal benches.

"This is perfect! Good job, Bear Trap!" Giovanni smiled as he looked around.

"Alright, but how are we going to make the base?" (Y/N) asked trying to think of ideas.

"Oh! I got it!" Giovanni claimed as he walked over to one of the exhibits. He went over to a section with two bear modules and... tried to pick one up?

"Uh... what are you doing?" (Y/N) questioned, confusion clear in her voice.

"We're gonna use these bears here to establish our fort! Ace, Bear Trap, come help me out with these!" Giovanni answered, still trying to pick the bear off the ground.

"Wha-- uh-- okay?!" (Y/N) stammered as she quickly walked over to Giovanni with Molly trailing behind her. After a few minutes, the two large bear modules were both propped up near the column. A long, dark blue cloth was tied around the two bears, making something like a makeshift roof. Another red long cloth was tied around near the bear's feet. (Y/N)'s... not sure where they found the cloth, Giovanni just sort of pulled them out of nowhere, but she decided not to question it.

"Alright! Fort Cool Guy complete!" Giovanni smiled admiring the base.

"Yeah. It's very... cool," (Y/N) said nodding, not sure what to say.

"I mean better than nothing, right?" (Y/N) thought, staring at the two bears.

"I feel like it's against the rules to take the bears out of their homes like that..." Molly faced Giovanni with uncertainty.

"Uh, this IS their home now! And I told you! You don't need to worry about 'rules' anymore, Bear Trap. You're a bad guy now." Giovanni told Molly.

"Right! Plus, no one's around to really stop us so..." (Y/N) added shrugging.

"Exactly! These guys are like... our guardians!" He nodded. "They're part of the Banzai Blasters too!"

"Wait, our guardians? How would that even work?" (Y/N) wondered.

"Then they need uniforms!" Molly smiled.

"YES." (Y/N) gasped, letting out a large smile.

"You are SO RIGHT." Giovanni nodded vigorously. Molly then reached into her yellow backpack and pulled out a... sewing kit? She opened the kit, took out a yellow cloth, a needle, and some thread. She started to get to work sewing, putting the thread in the hole at the end of the needle and started to poke it through the cloth.

"Yo, what--?" (Y/N) began.

"Ohh, you carry a sewing kit too, huh?" Giovanni smiled.

"Wait. 'Too'?" (Y/N) thought, confused.

"Yeah. My dad breaks a lot of stuff around the house so it's good to have supplies on hand." Molly replied.

"Her dad breaks a lot of stuff? Yikes. That sounds like a pain, I won't lie." (Y/N) thought, shaking her head slightly.

"Hol' up. You sew, Gio?" (Y/N) asked, turning around to face Giovanni.

"Gio?" He looked at (Y/N) with confusion.
