Did Reggie get actually knighted or does he just like to call himself sir, because I can't really think of a valid reason for him to be knighted unless the queen knows that guy is an alien.
In the last four days, a lot of you might have seen the video of Mr. Philip Banks catching a baby boy that was thrown out of a burning building - the baby was saved by both him and the mother who sacrificed herself to help save her kids. In the video, you can hear neighbors pleading with her to jump down herself, but she didn't. She was completely engulfed in flames by the time she went back in to try and save her daughter. There are two heroes in this story, and both of them are angels, one in Heaven now, and the other here on Earth.
Both of the children made it, but sadly it was too late for Mrs. Rachel Long. She leaves behind a little girl that will need more surgeries to start her recovery, a baby boy that is getting better but is extremely traumatized, and a husband who is now heartbroken and left homeless with their two children.
I implore you, if you cannot donate yourselves, I completely understand, but please at least share the donation link, that helps too!
Mr. Phillip Banks is a true hero. The way he sprinted to catch the little boy, throwing himself with everything he got to save him - without a doubt, the boy would have been severely more injured or gone if it wasn't for him.
Rachel Long, rest in peace.

Klaus: Progress doesn’t come from “the desire to understand” like Luther says. No, it comes from the need…to be lazy.

Bad batch spoilers, rated M
Imagine he gets to the planet Omega and Crosshair are on. He manages to get into the base somehow, and he doesn’t even wait for Echo and Wrecker. He doesn’t use the stun feature. The entire landing pad is gone by the time the other two join him.
He’s pushing on, through hallways. He shoots down storm troopers as he goes, paying attention to which ones are just troopers and which ones look like higher ups.
“Um, Hunter?” Echo asks, his blaster raised but still cold from disuse.
Hunter finally finds an officer. Grabs him by the throat, slams him into the wall. “Where’s Hemlock?” He growls, teeth bared.
Echo and Wrecker pause behind him, blasters raised at the ready for any back up this officer may call.
“I don’t know,” the officer chokes, hands uselessly clawing at Hunter’s arms. “But if I did, I wouldn’t tell you.”
“I believe you,” Hunter spits, and the blast in the officer’s stomach forces the man limp.
“Hunter?” Wrecker asks, eyes looking on worriedly.
Hunter doesn’t answer. He goes through a door. Another. Dead bodies pile up, never even had a chance to shoot back. Hunter doesn’t pause, doesn’t stop moving. He shoots as he goes.
Through another door. Down a flight of stairs. Another officer. He shoots everyone else, aims his blaster at the officer’s face. “Hemlock,” is all he says.
“I know where he is!” The officer says, hands raised in surrender. “I can take you to him!”
“Where is he?” Hunter growls.
“Floor -70. He’ll have heard the alarms by now. He’ll be in his bunker.”
Hunter shoves the man into Wrecker’s chest, who grabs him by the scruff of the neck and starts walking him to follow Hunter.
Elevators. Hunter fucking hates elevators. They’re slow, they force him to stand still. The officer won’t stop whimpering, face forced to look at the floor.
“Hunter,” Echo tries again.
Hunter works his jaw. Tilts his head just slightly to show he’s listening.
“What’s the plan?”
Hunter rolls his jaw again, looking back at the elevator doors. “Find Hemlock. Make him take us to Omega. Get out.”
“Are there any…in between steps?”
Hunter doesn’t answer. The door opens. He shoots down everyone running at him. Echo stuns the ones running away. Wrecker punches a few people in white coats standing in doorways.
“Take a left up here,” their captive whimpers out, refusing to look at the fallen teammates. “It’s a long hallway. His bunker will be at the very end.”
Hunter does. It’s only lab coats now. Hunter shoots them down, uncaring.
They reach the door, and Hunter kicks it in easily. It’s not a bunker. It’s an office. Hemlock isn’t there. He turns to their captive, fury turning his vision red.
“He’s supposed to be here!” The man cries, wincing as Wrecker’s hold tightens on his neck. “He said he would be here if there was ever an invasion.”
Hunter walks over to him, grabbing his chin. Wrecker lets go. The man whimpers, the words to beg for his life dying on his tongue. “I believe you,” Hunter says. For a second, a flicker of hope lights up the man’s eyes. But then those eyes go dull as Hunter quickly snaps his neck.
“Hunter!” Echo hisses, disapproval painting his voice.
Hunter ignores him. He pushes past them both, forcing his way back down the long corridor. He takes a right where he before took a left.
“Clones!” Wrecker yells, looking at the cells upon cells of locked up clones.
“I’ll let them out,” Echo says, something raw in his voice. “This must be where they’re taking the decommissioned clones. Rex was telling me about a mission to save-“
Hunter holds up a hand, indicating silence. Echo’s voice falters, stops.
Hunter listens. The prisoners are yelling, begging for release. Distractions. “Silence!” Hunter yells, after shooting three rounds into the ceiling.
Quiet. Good. He closes his eyes, focusing. “Wrecker, with me. Echo-go ahead.”
He feels more than sees Echo nod his affirmative, and he sets to work on unlocking the doors.
Hunter leads Wrecker down the hall. Left. Right. Another right. Through a door. Another left. Pauses, has to shoot a guard. Through a door.
Hunter raises the gun, aiming it at the woman in a white coat. “She looks important,” Wrecker says softly.
“My name is Emerie Karr,” she stutters out. “I’m the lead scientist.”
“And I care because?” Hunter growls, stepping forward and getting the blaster closer to her chest.
“I’m the one working on Omega and Crosshair.”
Hunter’s blood goes cold. He stops breathing. His hand shakes. “Where. Is. She?” He spits through gritted teeth.
“This way,” she says, but doesn’t indicate or move. She only stares at the blaster.
“Move!” Hunter yells, frightening her. She starts to back up, but realizes that’s not fast enough quickly. More rooms. Moor hallways. More doors. It takes no time at all and an eternity.
“She’s in this room,” Emerie says softly. “Hemlock is in there.”
“Open. The. Door.”
Wrecker moves closer, blaster trained on her. “I’ve got her, Hunter. You check it out.”
Hunter can barely hear over the blood pounding in his ears. The door opens. His blaster aims inward, no target yet. He looks around, his own breathing deafening him.
“Hunter!”
He almost breaks.
The high pitched voice is scared. Hunter momentarily worries he’s covered in blood. If he’s scaring her. But no; it’s not him. It’s Hemlock.
“Take one more step and I shoot her,” Hemlock’s low, soft voice lilts. As if he’s the one in control.
Hunter aims his blaster, teeth bared in aggression. “I won’t ask you twice,” Hunter spits.
Hemlock presses the gun more firmly into Omega’s temple, and the girl cries out in pain or fear. “You aren’t the one making demands here, Hunter.” His voice annoys Hunter, and the growl which rips through his throat is involuntary.
Hunter’s entire body is shaking with the desire to rip Hemlock apart. “Omega is too close,” Emerie whispers unhelpfully.
“Put the gun down, Hunter. It’s over. Put the gun down and let my scientist in the room. My guards will be here shortly.”
Hunter grins, too much teeth to be anything other than threatening. Any guards will be meeting the fury of countless decommissioned clones right about now.
Hemlock seems undeterred. “I’m only keeping her alive to control Nala Se. I don’t care if she lives or dies. Now that Nala Se has seen her, I can convince her Omega is safe and held in a cell. You’re the one who wants her alive.”
Hunter laughs, and it sounds so unlike anything he’s ever made before. “If you kill her, I will tear you apart, piece by piece, until you beg for mercy that won’t come.”
Hemlock has the sense to at least hesitate now. He looks between Hunter and Wrecker, whose gun is still aimed at Emerie.
Omega cries softly, not looking at Hunter anymore. “I’m scared,” she whispers.
Hunter fights back the urge to growl again. He works his jaw instead, eyes flicking from her to Hemlock. He sees movement behind the pair as he does; it takes everything inside of him to not focus on the body slowly inching towards them.
“You hear that?” Hemlock asks, voice somehow still calm and soft. Taunting. Hunter bares his teeth in rage, allowing Hemlock to think he took the bait. “She’s scared. Do you think she’s scared of me, or of you?”
Wrecker shifts behind him, and Hunter can practically see the excitement he’s trying to conceal. Hunter ignores them both. “Omega,” Hunter pleads, lowering his gun. “I’d never hurt you,” he promises.
Omega looks up, eyes full of tears. “Hunter,” she whines.
Hemlock pretends to coo, mockingly. “Hunter,” he copies, but a wicked smile distorts his face into something inhuman. Emerie’s breath catches as she notices, but Wrecker presses the blaster more firmly into the back of her neck. “Go ahead and put the gun down, Hunter. I win.”
Hunter holds his gun tighter, still lowered to point at the floor. He grits his teeth, pretending to fight himself on what to do. “It’s okay, Omega,” Hunter says softly. “Just look at me.”
Omega stares into Hunter’s eyes, her own full of tears. “I want to go home,” she says.
Hunter takes one hand off the gun, pretending to raise it in surrender. “I’m here, Omega. I’m here.”
Hemlock laughs in victory, aiming the gun instead at Hunter. Stupid, arrogant mistake. “That’s right. Put that gun down. Nice and slow.”
The blow is sudden, and hard. Hemlock loses consciousness immediately, and Omega sprints for Hunter’s arms. Hunter catches her easily, arms wrapping around her and holding her as tightly as he can.
“You lose,” Crosshair spits, swaying on his feet. He leans heavily on the bench Hemlock is now slouched over.
Wrecker hits Emerie over the back of the head with the handle of his blaster, and is pushing past Hunter and Omega before her body hits the floor. He throws Crosshair’s arm over his shoulder, using one arm to help support his weight. “I knew you were still in there somewhere,” Wrecker says lowly.
Hunter pets Omega’s hair, holding her to his chest. “I’ve got you. I’ve got you. I’m here now.”
“Hunter,” Omega cries, tiny fists clenching at his hair to keep him close.
“Hunter,” Echo calls from behind them. “Rex is on his way to get the decommissioned clones. Or…” his voice turns sad for a moment. “The ones who are left. There were a lot of guards here.”
Hunter raises himself from his kneeling position, bringing Omega with him. Her legs wrap around his waist, and he half rests her on his hip. “Good. Help Crosshair. Wrecker, grab Hemlock.” All three of his brothers hesitate, questions on the tip of their tongues. “Now,” Hunter growls.
Wrecker gently passes Crosshair to Echo, and then throws Hemlock over his shoulder. Omega buries her face in Hunter’s neck, quiet sobs breaking his heart.
They make their way to the elevator, and Hunter glares at the escapees so they won’t join them. There isn’t much room left anyway.
“I’m sorry,” Crosshair says after several minutes of silence.
Hunter looks to him, and for the first time since Ord Mantell, his face softens. He raises the hand not holding Omega to cup his shoulder, squeezing. He doesn’t say anything; he doesn’t need to. The sigh of relief Crosshair tries to hide is indicative of message received.
There’s a lot of questions which will be asked later. Later. Once they’re free from this hell planet. Once Omega is safe on their ship. Once he has time.
I think now this looks better :)
”I’m just a kid from Brooklyn.”
A tribute to one of the best characters of the MCU, brought to magnificent life thanks to the hard work of Chris Evans. He not only gave us a living incarnation of Captain America but imbued him with the best of his personality and vulnerabilities.
Thank you for 8 years of the best Steve Rogers we could’ve hoped for, and no matter what happens in Endgame, we’re with you until the end of the line, Cap.
