knife_bender: easystreet (spec: chatting with number four)
As much as Diego hated to admit it, he was sort of grateful Klaus was with him right now. It distracted him from thinking about Patch and, besides, there was something obviously wrong with his brother. More wrong than usual.

"Are you okay?" he asked quietly, keeping his eyes on the road.

Diego broke many traffic laws to get to the seedy part of town to the motel where Patch said she'd be. He saw her car parked outside, and his heart sank when he saw that she wasn't in it waiting for back up.

He ran up the steps to the second floor, knife in hand. He tried several doors, calling out Klaus and Patch's names, hoping to hear an answer from one of them. He finally came across a door that was slightly ajar, but the room was dark.

And now things get sad )

Back to where Five is no longer drunk )

knife_bender: (neg: none of it makes sense)
Okay, well, there were some psychopaths after Five and Diego had to find him and deal with that. He would get to that in a moment. First, he had to give Patch the head's up about said psychopaths because she kept ending up where they were.

A phone call )

Luther and Diego have a civil conversation )

Everybody had split off to do their own thing after the family meeting. Luckily when your home was a literal city block with forty-something bedrooms it was easy to avoid other people.

Diego had found his way back into his childhood bedroom and was thinking about how he would go about taking Luther down if he tried to shut off their mother. Right now a knife to the neck was involved in the plans.

Fight fight fight )

Mother and son bonding time )

knife_bender: (neg: luther has a point and i hate it)
Diego was really starting to get sick of these damn family meetings. Luther comes back from the moon and he goes back to being Number One, bossing them around. He had a feeling what this was all about, and he was ready to straight up pitch a fit if he was right about it.

Another family meeting )

And after the meeting… )

Being weird and constantly listening to the police scanner meant that Diego was once again at a crime scene he had no business being at. But, look, something was weird here and he needed to figure out what it was.

Once again, it was extremely easy to get under the police tape and into the store. It looked a lot like the donut shop crime scene, only with less bodies. Diego bent down to inspect one of the bullet casings on the ground.

Dude can't stop poking around crime scenes )

[NFI, NFB, OOC is fine. Preplayed with myself and taken from 1x03 "Extra Ordinary"]
knife_bender: (pos: flirting at the wrong moment)
Diego was already confused by this time travel thing between here and Fandom. When he arrived to grab some stuff in the mansion, he found less than twenty-four hours had passed since the best funeral ever. Out of habit he was listening to the police scanner while rifling through his room and found out about the shooting at the donut shop down the street. Naturally he had to go check it out.

Diego stopped the car beside the docks, and unbuckled his seatbelt. He left the car running since he wasn't planning to be here long. Just needed to dump off potential murder evidence into the river to protect his robot mother. You know, normal stuff.

"I'll be right back," Diego said, opening the door to get out. "Klaus, don't be weird."

He's gonna make it weird )

[NFI, NFB, OOC is okay! Preplayed with [personal profile] defenderofdesmoines and [personal profile] apocalypsehow as Klaus. Taken from 1x01 "We Only See Each Other at Weddings and Funerals"]
knife_bender: (neg: pissed looking down)
It was pouring down rain when everyone met out in the courtyard for the funeral. Everyone was equipped with an umbrella, save for Diego who stubbornly just stood in the rain looking increasingly like an angry wet cat.

This will go wonderfully )

Diego wasn't fuming after the family meeting. He was just...whatever the step is before fuming. He wasn't sure what that one was, but he was currently it. He was just trying to get it together before Annie noticed.

She was gonna notice )

Q&A with your temporally displaced brother )

[NFI, NFB, OOC welcome. Preplayed with [personal profile] defenderofdesmoines and [personal profile] apocalypsehow. Taken from 1x01 "We Only See Each Other at Weddings and Funerals"]
knife_bender: (neu: uh huh sure)
The city was wet and rainy, which was appropriate for both a funeral and for the very special occasion of all the (living and non-time traveling) Hargreeves being under the same roof for the first time in over a decade. The place was pretty much exactly the same as Diego had left it, and even though his dad was dead he still felt like he was intruding on his territory somehow. He felt better about Annie being with him; if anyone could handle the collective Hargreeves charm it would be her.

He also had to do some investigating and hoped that "look, here's Diego's cute girlfriend" would help distract his siblings while he was rifling through Reginald's room.

Meet the family. Some of them )

A brotherly meeting )

The first of many family meetings )

knife_bender: easystreet (neu: trying to big brother)
It wasn't often that Diego spoke to Pogo, less often that Pogo called him, so when his phone rang that evening he knew that it was probably important.

And it was.

"He what?" Diego asked. "That's not--I just saw him."

...

"What do you mean he hasn't left the house in---oh." It all made sense now, why his father had visited last weekend. It was easy to brush off as a coincidence at the time since he hadn't known he was dead. Now...

"When's the funeral?" he asked. "Okay. Okay, I'll be there."

Diego hung up a few moments later and immediately shot off a text to Five. This was news best told in person.

[For a few!]
knife_bender: proverbially (pos: all up in this shit)
Diego had been having some weird ass dreams lately. Creepy ones, really. He dreamed about his father occasionally, but usually they were flashbacks to training and Ben's funeral. But these were focused on the rare (so very rare) moments where his father had given him praise and when Diego woke up he was left with a vague feeling of wanting his father to be proud of him.

Which disturbed him even more than the nightmares, really.

He was considering just not sleeping again, so he was doubling up on the coffee this morning.

[Open]
knife_bender: easystreet (neu: creeping)
Well, that interrogation had been mostly pointless yesterday. So Diego was back to looking for holes and avoiding his brother. Mostly the former, even though he should have been more focused on the latter. He'd learn his lesson eventually.

[For one!]
knife_bender: easystreet (pos: look behind)
It was very hard to fall asleep while handcuffed to a radiator, who knew? Still, Diego had managed it sometime after the fifteen hour mark of being held captive by his own brother. Five was nice enough to provide him with a blanket so it was comfortable enough for him to forget about the handcuff thing when he first woke up. Until he went to stretch and was stopped by the cuffs bouncing against the radiator with a clang.

"I'm going to kill him," Diego mumbled for about the millionth time in the last twenty-four hours. He sat up as much as he could, and realized that Dolores was staring at him from the kitchen table. She must have been set up as a guard, which was even more humiliating.

At least there was cold coffee and a gross Danish for him to eat for breakfast? Thanks, Five.

[For one!]
knife_bender: ([neg] you make me sad)
Diego had assumed Annie had gone off on Seven business, so he wasn't expecting her back home any time soon. It was rare that they had actual work to do (aside from filming and interviews), so he was hoping she was enjoying herself.

And then he got a text message from Queen Maeve of all people. He had forgotten Annie had made them do a little phone tree thing after everything that happened last month.

Starlight's boyfriend, tell her she better get her ass here ASAP Ashley is irritating the shit out of me

Diego groaned. Well, fuck.

[Open, sure. Possibly some SP while I figure out wtf happened at work while I was on vacation]
knife_bender: ([neu] striped sweater time)
Okay, well, it had been pretty well established that patrolling the town was useless, but what else were people like Diego supposed to do? It had been hammered in his head since birth to take action, even if the efforts were futile.

Which probably also explained Five's determination to stop the apocalypse even though he had nothing to go on.

So, yeah. Walking around town yet again. For some reason. Maybe he'd find a hole to jump in.

[For a few!]
knife_bender: (neu: caught in the act)
Diego and Annie had gotten back pretty late last night and immediately flopped into bed. They were both covered in bruises, Diego had a concussion and Annie had emotionally been put through the wringer. They were due for some actual sleep. 

It was later than usual when Diego managed to get out of bed, and shuffle out to get coffee from the kitchen, still limping slightly from being thrown around by Stormfront. He had gotten a mug out of the cabinet and was half-turned towards the coffee machine when he noticed a bald lady mannequin sitting at his kitchen table.

"Oh, Jesus!" And now there was a broken mug on the floor. Thanks, Dolores.

[Creepy mannequin girlfriend modded with permission. Post is open for people wanting to check in on Diego and/or Annie]
knife_bender: (neu: uh huh sure)
To say today had been rough was quite possibly the biggest understatement ever. It had started with watching porn at way too early in the morning, went into cutting off a guy's hand to get his girlfriend out of jail and somewhere between that Annie had absolutely gotten her ass handed to her by Black Noir.

Diego was worried. He knew why Annie was playing it cool. Her mother was there, and Billy Butcher wasn't exactly someone you wanted to look weak in front of. But she had been hurt, and neither of them had gotten the chance to process that and he just really needed to make sure she was okay.

When everyone seemed to be as settled as they were going to be, he found his way to Annie's side. "Can we talk?"

[Last post for the day, I promise. For the girl! NSFW!]
knife_bender: ([neu] striped sweater time)
About half an hour after Annie had left, the meeting with Ms. Neuman concluded, and Butcher and his associates were crowded around Colonel Mallory again for orders.

At least, everyone except Hughie, who was stuck on the couch injured. He flagged down Diego, probably hoping that the person who knew him the least of this group might be a soft touch? Either that or he saw a guy with scars and assumed he'd be cavalier enough about injuries to let a guy with a bleeding stomach wound come along on whatever they were gonna do. "Hey, dude, I'm going with you guys. Tell Butcher I'm coming too."

Because if nothing else, he needed to get the hell away from Lamplighter. They all needed to get away from Lamplighter.

Daytime porn viewing and accusations of treason, oh my )

[preplayed with [personal profile] defenderofdesmoines as Hughie and Lamplighter, and unfortunately taken kind of directly from canon, yeah -- The Boys 2.07, 'Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker' is responsible for all of this. warning for three dudes watching porn during the day, NFB/NFI/OOC welcome]
