My twin sister and I were given a chance to go back to Earth. She and I decided to see our mom once again. Neither of us feel regret for going to Cyber Space, if anything it changed our lives for the better. At our home in Germany, there was nothing. The entire house was empty. Cobwebs were everywhere and there was a trail of blood on the floor.
As Ash and I both made our way towards the end of the trail, right in front of us was a dead body, a woman chained to the wall in a white dress, a wedding dress no less. A low growl was let out from behind the two of us, to which Ash had turned around and tapped my shoulder, then slapped my arm when I didn’t turn around right away. A tall figure stood there – our dad. The one who mistreated not just her but us as well.
“...you two were both mistakes, I hope you know that. I have a little… fun… with her for one night and somehow you two were a result of that fun. You two were mistakes, and so was she.” He pointed to the body as he spoke. It slowly sank in that he hadn’t wanted us at all. Our dad held up a gun to Ash’s head, growling low. “Say your prayers, kids, it’s better off that you two die. That useless bitch isn’t here anymore, and I don’t need either of you two to ruin my life even more.”
“...You’re a monster.” Ash, grabbing a nearby knife and shoved it into our dad’s chest as he fired the gun, the bullet going into Ash’s shoulder. I couldn’t just stand there, so I lunged forth and strangled our dad dead with a sudden leopard tail that had grown on me.
“You fuck off from my sister, you hear me? You’re a bastard. Nobody. A coward who couldn’t even love his own wife and kids. You never cared for us when we got groomed, because you know who was there when you weren’t? Mom was. You treated all of us horribly. I hope you rot in Hell where you belong.” Letting go of his neck after I spoke, I rushed to my sister’s aid and patched her up. As she and I walked through the streets, I rushed her to a hospital to have her properly treated.
Ash and I visited Russia again, a place where she and I would have easily been banned from if they knew the two of us are LGBTQ. The two of us sat in the snow, throwing snowballs at each other just outside of the elementary school we went to. We also built a snowman and gave him a little scarf. Ash and I also walked down the streets and, in places where people normally didn’t look, we set various pride flags. As soon as we were finished, we said our goodbyes to Russia and went back into Cyber Space.
“No one will believe you Robin.”
“They won’t believe you because your story is never straight.”
“They’ll believe me because I’m the woman and you’re just a stupid trans boy.”
“You’re a failure to women.”
“No one will love you after I find your family.”
These are all things I had been told by my groomer. I tried for years to move on. I fear change, it’s something I absolutely hate. However, Jay had reminded me of something. His words always echoed in my mind: “You moved on and let go of that one streamer guy who groomed you… what’s different with her?” Honestly, I never knew the answer, and letting go is extremely hard. I never had a chance to properly say goodbye to her, never had a good ending with her. Because really, she still lurked in the shadows, watching my every move. I never got justice, ever. The times she threatened and harassed me, the time she got me sent to a psych ward after our breakup… Sure, even after letting go, the trauma and damage she still caused is there, it stays with me regardless of anything.
In the psych ward, I was nearly raped by a female roommate. A guy nearly had sex with me in the bathrooms and then told me to touch him under the main room’s tables. He told me to keep going, even when guards were watching. There was a transphobe who nearly killed me just for being trans, and I watched a girl’s hair being torn out. The first night I was there, I wanted to kill myself again with everything already happening. This was part of the reason why I was silent in other psych wards. That, and I didn’t wish to be seen as insane, even though I already was.
“Baby… Listen to me…” Jay’s voice echoed as his arms wrapped around me. The feeling burned as I cried into his chest. All I wanted was to let go but it was extremely hard. “You are capable of so much. I’ve seen what you can do. You no longer let that one dude control you. You no longer let the other pedophiles control you. She’s just like them. She’s worse, actually. But still, my point stands… I know it’s still gonna cause you trauma and panic, but sometimes… it’s best to truly let go. She’s not in your life anymore. She no longer controls you.”
“Mmm… It’s… gonna be hard… I want to try, I’ve been trying for years… Nothing ever works…” As I spoke, Jay softly kissed my lips as he held my hands. Moments later, his hands trailed around me to rub my back as he cuddled me.
“Darling, hey… Hey… You’ve tried, and that’s what matters. You stood up your other groomer’s shadows, you need to do the same for her. Show her who’s boss. Even if you can’t get full justice here… You can at least for your mentality’s sake…” As Jay spoke, his hands trailed up to my hair to run through my hair gently. Sighing, I clung to him and entered my White Space again, inside my mind. Right there she was, a broken down shadow of her.
“YOU RUINED MY LIFE! YOU GROOMED ME! YOU’RE A CREEP! CANCEL HIM!” She screamed at me, trying to grab at me. Kicking her hand away from my ankle as I held my knife down to her, blade facing her face.
“...You ruined my life, actually. Have you ever looked back at your document and realized how weird and disturbing it is for a 36-year-old woman to be taking screenshots of your DM history with a minor where you were blatantly romantic with him? Buddy, I was literally seventeen. And need I remind you that you openly spoke of sex with that same minor and played it off as you being one year and six months younger than him? You claimed to have been born September 30th of 2004, but you bamboozled everyone. Why don’t you tell them the truth then, huh? Go on. Tell them, or I will.” The moment I finished speaking, she looked me dead in the eyes and screamed. Trying to find an exit, she ran around the white, empty room.
“NO! NO NO! I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING! YOU CAN’T KEEP ME HERE! I DEMAND MY RIGHTS AS A WOMAN! PLEASE!” As she screamed and banged on a door, I pinned her to the wall and held my knife up to her neck. A shaky breath released from her mouth as she suddenly stopped screaming and squirming. Looking back to my old friends, who were also shadows, I glared at them.
“You all sided with her despite the signals being all right in front of your faces. The hints were there and you all overlooked it because she kept falsely accusing me of the things she did. You wanted to know why I wanted nothing to do with you? This is exactly why. She’s transphobic. She’s a bigot.” After I spoke, one of my former friends spoke up.
“She still has the document… Knowing what we know now… we want justice for you. We promise, we will get justice.” As the words left his mouth, a wave of relief washed over me as the White Space faded, and the last thing I heard was her screams. Jolting back to reality, I nuzzled into Jay and sighed. He chuckled softly and kissed my forehead.
“I’m still gonna be hella traumatized but damn… I… I’m ready to try to move on…” As I spoke, Jay planted soft yet gentle kisses on my face as I purred, my shark tail wagging. “Heh… and yet, she still thinks of me… she’s pathetic…” I thought, smiling genuinely for the first time in what felt like ages.
Sobbing a ton, unable to even feel anything, Jay held me in his lap while Darrius sat aside of him. The two were trying to comfort me while I was having panic attack after panic attack from gender dysphoria. Jay, smooching my face as he holds my hands and Darrius rubbing my hips a bit.
“Hey, hey… Honey, hey… We’re here…” Darrius calmly whispers in my ears while wrapping his legs suddenly around me, Jay kissing my face a bit more while rubbing my cheeks. I hadn’t been feeling quite myself, and was disassociating plus hallucinating as well. This was one of the worst feelings I had ever experienced, and all I wanted was to make it stop. Yet it wouldn’t stop. The feeling kept coming back over and over again. “You think he needs to see Reed?”
“No, he needs me. Usually I’m the thing that–” As Jay started to speak, my whimpers could be heard, the blood on my wrists from self-harming trickling down my wrists, along with the blood of the cuts on my thighs trickling down my thighs. All I felt was pain as the two quickly grabbed me and rushed me to Reed’s medical bay, where I blacked out on the way.
Waking up with stitches in my wrists and thighs, I whimpered as the others surrounded me with our kids, all of them worried for me. All I felt was aching, I had let them down again, or so I had felt I let them down. The others rested their hands on me, letting me know they were there for me. Sighing a bit, I just simply rested with them by my side. All they wanted was for my dysphoria to be taken away, but maybe it was normal to be feeling this way as a trans person.
“Oliver, I… I think…” Ash, holding Oliver’s face, suddenly let him go as he took a small step back. The two had been having disagreements, and Ash had been questioning her sexuality for some time. “No, no. I know I’m a lesbian. I like girls. I’m… I’m sorry. I just don’t experience attraction for you anymore.”
Oliver, looking a bit upset, just shook his head and looked to the ground with a sigh. Not a single word left from his mouth… until… “That’s fine by me.” No other words were needed.
“Huh…?” Ash seemed confused for a moment. The one person she loved for months seemed to not give a crap that she was just leaving him like this. “I’m literally dumping you because I’m a lesbian, how are you fine with this?”
“I’m fine with it because I’m gay! I’m not even attracted to women anymore! I thought I was bi but no! I like men! That’s… That’s why I’m so fine with this happening… Because frankly I stopped caring how or if I even came out, I was worried how I would be treated or if I would be dumped for it like this. I just wanna use the gay label regardless who I like and not have to deal with anyone being on my ass… I’m just me, I’m Oliver!” Oliver’s voice was slightly raised but not shouting at all. It was clear he was scared, worried even.
“I… Whoa. Okay… Alright then. Are… we still friends, at least?” Ash, seeming worried, looked up to Oliver, who nodded. The two went their way. Oliver still went to his house every now and again, but mostly stayed with the others. Ash also stayed in Oliver’s place still, as she became the one looking after it mostly. Oliver still went there to do his job, which was work on computers and sell things. Oliver began dating me, and Ash began dating Alexa. Both Ash and Alexa helped manage Oliver’s business with him.
“Oh Error~ I have something for youuuuu…” Null, walking around the suite to find me, entered the master bedroom to see me using my ukulele. As I look at him and kiss his lips, a blush creeps up on my face. “I wanna take you on a fancy date to one of the diners downtown~”
“Wait, no way? Oooo! Do take me, I wanna go!” My tail wags of pure excitement as he grabs me by my hand and we head out the door. Heading to the downtown area, we get a booth seat in a local diner. Our legs swing back and forth as the two of us talk about random nothings, constantly calling each other little petnames. The diner had an old car theme mixed with vaporwave, and the blackout curtains helped ease my mind from the fact that it was midday. The glows of the neon blues, pinks and purples glowed over Null, and the subtle tones of greens, whites and blues glowed off of me.
“I hope you know you look gorgeous…” Null spoke, his hand grabbing mine as the two of us ate our food together. Our fingers interlocked each other as I softly purred. The blush on my face had only grown more the longer I stared into his dreamy eyes.
“Yeah, well, and I hope you know you are too…” The two of us kissed each other’s lips and I nuzzled into his cheek softly while softly purring. Once our little dinner date was over, I carried Null all the way home and gave him a flower bouquet along with an assortment of candy.
Christmas was… super chaotic for the whole gang. Firstly, I gave birth to yet another child, this time it was a girl we named Lily. Lily was an off-gray purplish-green color, looking almost ghostly. I had given birth to her Christmas night in our suite since I had entered labor in the afternoon. The morning of Christmas, Void had joined us and was being his usual self-centered self, as always. Alexa and Ash had also joined us as well. The kids were already almost knocking over the tree from excitement as they opened gifts. Venom had already tried wrapping the entire suite in wrapping paper to try and anger the others in the polycule.
Since I had been having contractions most the morning, Dex and Darrius took it upon themselves to cuddle me and calm me down. Jay took it upon himself to do the recording of the kids opening the presents. Reed tried getting Venom to calm down by sprinkling red and green glitter on him. The whole morning was extremely chaotic, yet super enjoyable for everyone.
Once I gave birth and calmed down, and the baby was out for a bit, we sat by the fireplace together as a family. As much as we are chaotic, we’re still family.
“Look kiddo.”
Biro came home crying one day, clearly upset over something, but I wasn’t sure what it was. He immediately went into his room with the others and just curled up in bed, not talking to anyone. No one was able to even get anything from him. That was, until Jesse managed to speak to him late that night.
Biro couldn’t stop thinking of his biological parents and how horribly they had treated him constantly. He even questioned at times if anyone in his new family even cared about him. Jesse tried to convince him otherwise and calm him but nothing seemed to work, to which Biro… just went “insane”. (Jesse’s words.)
“You aren’t perfect, and neither is this family. And that’s okay. But that doesn’t mean that we don’t love you. Why else would we have taken you in, especially me?”
Jesse ran to the master bedroom just to knock on the bathroom door where I was taking a bath with Jay. He told us that Biro had snapped and explained the situation as calmly as he could. As I rushed out of the bathtub, drying off as fast as I could and getting dressed, I made my way to the kids room and sat beside Biro on his bed. I began to ask him if he was okay, to which he explained what was happening.
“There’s going to be ups and downs to every family, yeah, and while not every moment is happy, not every moment is sad either. You’re safe now, you don’t need to worry anymore. Your biological parents can’t bother you as long as you’re here with us, your real family.”
As I spoke to him, I felt his arms wrap around me as he brought me into a hug, crying a bit. His voice was shaky but he thanked me regardless. Heading to the kitchen and coming back into the room, I hand him a mug of hot cocoa. It made me think of why I even started a family to begin with - because I never got to experience a childhood, a proper one, due to the abuse I was subjected to online, in real life and in school. To combat this I wanted a family of my own to prove that I’m a better parent than my biological parents and that family is strong, regardless if it’s blood or not. I wanted my children to have a childhood and adulthood that I wasn’t ever given.
Because of this, I grew little puppy ears on my head as a result of me proving my loyalty and dedication. The tip of one was rainbow colored, strictly because I now also make hyperpop music.
The start of 2026 was normal, almost. I had anxiety the entire first day of the year and ended up harming my upper arm again as a result. I wasn’t feeling myself at all, and it hurt badly. The second day, I ended up having a panic attack around 4am and hallucinated a bunch. This sparked Jay to calm me and hold me close, cuddling himself into me.
“Baby… Hey… Focus on my voice…” His voice lingered as I laid my head on his chest, sobbing into him as he kissed my forehead a bunch. I began to relax in his arms as he held me close, snuggling me and rubbing my scars and wounds. My arm was still a bit bloody but I wasn’t hallucinating now that I heard his voice and felt his touch. “I’m here now… They’re not gonna hurt you… It’s okay… Shhh… I love you so much… You’re everything to me…”
“I l-love you so much… I n-need you… Mm…” As I spoke through sobs, Null entered the room and cuddled into me, followed by Dex and Darrius, who heard my sobs. The four snuggled into me, kissing my face and rubbing my body in attempts to calm me, which instantly made me feel at ease and put me to sleep, relaxing under their voices.
I curled up on the U-shaped sofa just in the middle of the living room. Dex, taking notice, stepped over and started petting my head. On my screen was a text message sent to Red over Discord where I had cut ties with Red for both of our mental health’s sake. The relationship Red and I had wasn’t healthy at all, and I wasn’t even sure how to break it to the kid that Red and I had.
“You… doing okay? I… know it’s hard to do but trust me… it’ll be over soon…” Dex reassured me, nuzzling into my neck a bit. His hands dug through my hair as he slowly peppered kisses over my face, rubbing the sides of my face a bit as I cuddled him, holding him on top of me as he laid his head on my chest. Darrius, who was off work, slid under me and held me on him as the three of us cuddled together.
Sooner or later, the other five in the polycule joined, Dex nodding at them to let them know the message had been sent to Red. Jay was the first to speak up: “He better not have saved those nudes of yours. Or the images of what human you looks like. Because I swear, if he tries absolutely anything, I’ll…”
“Honey. Hey. It’s fine. He ain’t in our lives no more. He can screw off if he tries doing any of that bullshit with us. It’s blackmail if he leaks images like that. He can seriously get into trouble for that.” As I spoke, the others curled up close by or on the cuddle pile, all of us holding hands and keeping close by. Our love is strong, too strong.
…Until our moment was ruined, again, by the smoke alarms and sprinkler system. Another fire had started by someone known as Crimson who was one of the only known firebenders in the universe. Crimson was known for being rather angry and aggressive but chill when you get to know him better. All of us decided to take him in as a friend over Christmas since he had no one to celebrate with. He said that he had committed suicide when he was 16 and went to Cyber Space as a result, becoming an eternal flame of anger because of his highly abusive parents. He mentioned how he had a younger “sister” who was just four years old. Funny enough, I was the same age when my brother committed suicide. When all of us met outside, Crimson was there apologizing to the landlord, so I decided to confront him about his “sister”.
“Hey… uh… did you and your ‘sister’ live somewhere in Pennsylvania and do you guys happen to have German background…?” Crimson froze after I spoke, his eyes trailed up to me. “...and was your ‘sister’ named Robin…?”
“...How do you know all this, what the Hell…?” As he spoke, he looked into my eyes and I looked into his. “WAIT WHAT THE FU-... YOU- That’s… How? Holy fuck YOU? You killed the parents? But… wait, I’m so fucking confused, what?”
“So… I guess our initial deaths were in the same manner.” He looked at me, holding my face. My body was immune to flame after I burned our parents house down and after I gained half-half powers. The waterbending split to half waterbending, half firebending, allowing me to not only be immune to fire but also be able to breathe in water.
“Guess I should start callin’ ya bro instead of sis then. And… I’ll keep callin’ ya Error. Don’t care what the parents say, even though they’re dead. You’re my lil bro and I’ll always protect my lil bro.”
After Crimson joined the gang, a new guy also joined. One of Crimson’s roommates, Mordekai, also joined us. He became instantly attached to me, and I became attached to him. And he also became attached to the other guys in the group as well. It didn’t take him long to come out as polyamorous and abrosexual. We found out that he makes frutiger aero music and is a survivor of a murder. A guy tried attacking him in the human world and he nearly died. The attempted killer claimed he wanted to kill Mordekai because he “was commanded to by God”. The attempted killer was sent to a mental institution for 20 years and would later be moved to a jail, where he would be served life. We already started feeling very comfortable with him, and if Crimson could trust him, so could we.
He was exceptionally shy and scared, but it was rather normal and he warmed up quickly. We realized how hyperactive he is and how loud he gets after only a few days. He seemed to trust people easily but also fall in love easily. This I related to a lot, mostly because of how much I had been abused by ex-partners of mine. We found Kai had also been abused by ex-partners of his, and he took the pain out on the music he created.
“So uhh… Do you guys maybe wanna uhh…” Kai couldn’t really even finish a single sentence before burying himself into my chest while whining a bit, making fragile yet adorable noises. Holding him close, I lifted his chin up so his eyes looked into mine. The others nodded at me and all said “We’re fine with it” in unison as I gently nuzzled into his cheek and kissed him on the lips. His arms trailed around my waist suddenly as he blushed a ton while kissing back, trying to hide his face in my chest. “Mm… Please kiss me more…”
My lips slowly kissed him more, lightly peppering his face with kisses as the others joined in, cuddling the two of us. We were comfortable, happy, and together we were us.
