Interviews From Hell

It’s now time for our personal evaluations and then our interviews, the first today  and the second tomorrow at night. The last night before all 24 tributes, and former victors, are sent off into the 75th Hunger Games arena for a fight to the death. 

 

Daniel and Florence are both sitting at a table for breakfasts both not really eating anything as they think over what to do for the personal evaluations. “Any idea what you're doing?”Daniel asks, causing Florence to shrug. “Throwing knives maybe, something simple enough.”Florence says shrugging, not really caring about her score within the evaluation. Daniel nods with a hum. “I'm just playing to my strengths.”Daniel says, giving Florence a vague idea of what the man will do. 

 

Finishing breakfast the two are sent off to their evaluations getting in line in order of district as asked. Male tribute first then female tribute behind them, something Florence will never understand. What difference does it make who's in front if we're all going in and all going to die at the end of it, but it’s whatever the Capitol wants that you must do. 

 

“District 4 male, Finnick Odair.”is called, causing said man to get up with a small smile on his face, a front he’s clearly putting up in order to be appealing whenever he walks into the room. A mat rests in the middle of the room while the game makers talk amongst themselves. Finnick goes to the weapons station looking over everything offered to him before finding his signature trident. With a smile on his face he twirls the trident in his hand giving the game makers a show as all eyes are trained on him, more for his body then his actual trident skills, ready for him to make his next move. He smiles up at them before blindly throwing the trident at one of the dummies at the end of the room hitting it square in its chest. He does the same thing two more times before he’s finished and dismissed by the game makers. 

 

“District 5 male, Daniel Blossom”is the next name heard as the man stands up and sends a little wink at Florence who rolls her eyes fondly at the man but a frown is etched on her face. Daniel walks in a frown also on his face once he enters the room just wanting to get his demonstration over with so he can return back to his room, the solidarity of it a contrast to the rest of the capitol. He walks over to a display of swords before picking one up weighing it in his hand. He does a slice here and there for the right weight distribution before starting his demonstration. 

 

“With 2 swords and maximum effort.”Deadpool says through the speakers. “WADE!” is heard screamed back by many, causing him to just laugh before going radio silent again. 

 

Daniel takes the sword and slices each dummy in half. Once he’s finished he’s not even panting but a few beads of sweat do roll off his body. He’s then dismissed by the gamemakers, making him nod, dropping the weapons on the mat and then walking out of the room. He walks past Florence sending her an encouraging smile. “Meet you back on our floor.”He says, squeezing her shoulder before walking off. 

 

After a few minutes “District 5, female, Florence Roosevelt.” is heard booming through the speakers. Florence sighs as she stands up and walks into the room taking in the game maker, her eye staying  on Weathersbee a bit longer than the others before looking at the weapons and other stations that are laid out in front of her. She avoids the chain dagger station as they know how good she is with it per her past hunger games now…she just needs to show something new. She walks over to the knives doing exactly what she told Daniel. She throws a knife into the eye of each dummy for her demonstration before walking out as asked not wanting to stay in the suffocating room any longer than necessary. 

 

“District 7, female, Johanna Mason.”is heard next from the screen. Johanna walks in with an air of lofty confidence and a dangerous aura. She looks at the game makers with a glare on her face as she looks around the room. A smirk comes on her face as she looks over the many weapons presented to her. She looks at the axes deciding it’s her best tool…that or a chainsaw which is not in the room. 

 

“The author is a huge simp for Yosana Akiko with her chainsaw. I don’t mind the woman, minus her being an anime character. It’s kinda kinky and I never shy away from that.”Wade says through the speaker.

 

 People in the room have looks of disgust on their face from hearing the last sentence not wanting to her about the man’s lewd sex life. 

 

“Wade! Please keep that to yourself or tell the ‘author’ as you say to just not write that.”Florence screams to him. “I like when the author does this stuff. It makes me more attractive, not that I can get any hotter.”Deadpool says in response before turning off the mic. 

 

She grabs the axes and spins them in her hand. She looks at the dummies with disinterest as she throws the axes lazily at the body not putting in much effort or effect, just like Florence and Daniel did. She then leaves the room with her middle finger in the air as she’s dismissed knowing there;s no reason to not play nice if she’s gonna die at the end of it if the worst case scenario happens. 

 

A few of the game makers find her attitude funny, others not so much. Yet everyone in that room is aware that Johanna Mason is a wild card even when it comes to President Snow’s orders. 

 

“District 12, female, Katniss Everdeen.”is heard over the speakers next as Katniss stands up and walks in. 

 

“You skipped me.”Peeta says, causing many to look at him.”It was for a reason….”Wade says, causing the blonde to scoff. “Yeah…seems like favoritism to me.”Peeta says, causing many to roll their eyes. “It is.”Wade says blankly, not explaining more as he starts back up the scene. 

 

Katniss walks in being hit by the cleaning smell of the room and the sound of whispers from the game makers on the platform. She looks at Weathersbee who avoids her eyes with every fiber in his being. She notices how all of them seem a bit irritated, making her wonder what Peeta did to make them that way. 

 

Katniss then makes up her mind as she makes her way to the knot-tying station. She makes a knot, consequently the exact one Finnick showed her.

 

“So you did take my lessons into consideration?”Finnick says, smiling at the girl who rolls her eyes. “Yes Finnick…though I already knew knots pretty well.”She says to the man not wanting his ego to explode too much but she knows under it lies the man she knows and learned to love somewhat like a brother. The man only chuckles. 

 

After a few minutes she comes up with a noose. She drags a target dummy into the middle of the room and uses one of the chinning bars to hang it by its neck. She walks over to the paint station that's a mess from the morphlings time playing in it. She starts writing on the dummy not the red staining the dummy who is quite an absorbent canvas. As she steps away from the dummy for everyone in the game room to see, and those in the theater. The words make out one name: Seneca Crane. 

 

Many in the room are shocked while others laugh at how the girl just blatantly threatened the room with her show of disobedience. Haymitch’s voice is the loudest out of the room, probably from his now tipsy state. “You and Johanna in the arena must’ve been hell.”Finnick says knowing both of them together is a deadly duo, and then if you add Florence. A shiver goes down his back just at the idea of what will be shown when it comes for everyone to be shown the actual footage of the Hunger Games. “We did alright.”Katniss says, shrugging, smiling at Johanna fondly who rolls her eyes remembering how the two started out. 

 

The immediate shocks of the game makers is satisfying for Katniss as some let out shrieks, others glasses slip from their hand breaking on the floor, and a few even faint at the sight. 

 

“Who the fuck is fainting over that…”Johanna says in disbelief. “The capital is centered around Snow, luxury, and the games. It comes to be expected.”Jack says a bit of displeasure in his voice;. Odessa and Cinna only hum in agreement with the man. 

 

Plutarch Heavensbee just stares at her before nodding. “You may go now Miss Everdeen.''He says, causing her to turn towards the elevator paint still in hand. Cockily she throws it over her shoulder as she hears the paint splattering on the floor and the rest of the dummy before sliding into the elevator seeing that no one has moved still. She only has the feeling of satisfaction coursing through her veins. 

 

As she gets up to her room, going to take a shower the reality of the situation sinks in. She realizes this is not a way this will help Peeta or her but rather probably get them punished in the arena, but they can’t punish her for the public yet as no one knows what she did within her private session. 

 

Time for scores to be shown rolls around as it goes district by district. Finnick scores an 8, Daniel a 10, Florence a 10, and Johanna a 7. Whenever the scores for district 12 roll around everyone’s on the edge of their seat all watching as both Peeta and Katniss score a 12 making Hunger Games history before the screen fades to black.

 

Most in the room, those from the past, gasp as no one has ever gotten a 12 in Hunger Games history but there is a first for everything. 

 

Haymitch wears a frown well aware why this could happen, to make the others target them and have them dead quicker. “You both now have a target on your backs.''Haymitch says to the two, both from the future just shrug but Peeta from the past is going crazy from how the future is going already and how fearful it seems. 

 

The next day, Florence is awoken by her prep team as they start from scratch on her looks, the re-dyeing of her as she knows the roots are probably growing back, and then she’s sent off to Odessa for what she would be wearing to her interview. 

 

“What am I wearing today? ''Florence asks the woman who comes up to her. “Something glorious as always…but something that works well with the personality you are trying to portray to the audience.”Odessa says, causing Florence to roll her eyes. “I don’t want to portray anything but boredom and the suicidal tendency to get myself killed already.:Florence says to the woman who glares at her. “Fine…no talking about me dying at my own hands.''Florence says in a mock surrender fashion not wanting to deal with a mad, yet hot if she said so herself, Odessa. She’s not blind…she;s just not exactly her type of woman so they’re better in the friend zone. 

 

Odessa brings out a mannequin with a dress on it. The outfit is a body suit-like piece on the top that’s tight fitting to her breasts, that leads into pants that’s covered by a long skirt with a small slit in the front. A cape like sash is added for a neck piece of the same color with white at the top that will cascade down the left side of her back. This matched with her hair style gives her more of a powerful outlook towards the crowd. “I love it…out of the box than usual but it does fit me.”Florence says, running her hand over the fabric as Odessa smiles. “I knew you’d like it. Now come on, into you go.”Odessa says as she starts dismantling the mannequin and sliding the dress pieces on to the woman. 

 

Florence and Daniel meet up with each other at the elevator both taking in each other’s outfits with slight smiles on their faces. Daniel wears a blue under shirt with a black suit jacket over it but the buttons have been replaced with rope and metal loops that are connected. It has white and gold designs on the sleeves to match with the white accents within Florence’s dress. His hair has been done more into a curly and wavy hairstyle in the front. (imagine tom holland’s hairstyle just shorter)

 

“We look dashing now don’t we.''Daniel says as they step into the elevator. “I look better than you. I just don’t think they want you to look good with the suit variations you wear.''Florence says, causing the man to dry chuckle. 

 

“I take offense to that Florence.”Jack says to the girl to send him a small apologetic smile. “They’re nice suits if it makes you feel better.”She shrugged.

 

“I’d look better than you just walking around naked.”he says before the elevator stops and the two step out. “Believe whatever you wish.''She says as they both go looking for familiar friendly faces as everyone talks amongst themselves about many varying topics before the interviews start. 

 

“Boo!''Finnick says from behind Florence, causing her to whirl around and almost hit him in the face if he didn’t move. “Don’t do that Finnick!''She says as she puts her hand down looking at the man coming down from the adrenaline rush she went through. Finnick only nods with a look of sympathy on his face before it's quickly gone. “Most people would enjoy me doing that to them.”Finnick says, causing Florence to roll her eyes. “Tell Annie that.''She whispers quietly to the man, causing his smile to widen. “You a lovesick fool.''She says sas Daniel just smiles like seeing the man having found love in someone as many people avoid you after the Hunger Games as they are well aware of your killing nature. 

 

A gag erupts from the wall behind them showing Johanna who smirks before gagging again with her finger in her mouth as she pushes off the wall. “You're disgustingly in love.”Johanna says to the man who just rolls his eyes. “You're just mad.”He says, causing her to roll her eyes now. 

 

Suddenly the sound of the elevator draws everyone’s attention as they become quiet whenever Peeta and Katniss step off of it in their respective outfits. Katniss in a wedding dress leaves both Florence and Johanna in a state of bewilderment. “Fruity, the whole damn basket is what Johanna will be picking back in District 7 soon.”Daniel says, breaking them out of their daze as they glare at the man. 

 

“The whole damn fruit basket she did,”Future! Peeta says chuckling under his breath while the girls turn to glare at him causing him to roll his eyes. “It’s only the truth…plus they’ll figure it out eventually.”He shrugged.

 

Finnick separates from the group walking up to Katniss. “Can’t believe Cinna put you in that thing.''He says jokingly to the girl who frowns. “President Snow ordered it so he didn’t have much of a choice, did he?”Katniss says fakely and defensively as she would never allow anyone to bad mouth Cinna. 

 

Cinna has a smile on his face at the girl’s determination to protect her, glad to have made a friend out of the introverted girl. Katniss smiles at the man, a small hint of sadness behind it. Cinna just winks at her in return. 

 

Finnick understands this as he nods. “Well I think you look ridiculous.''Cashmere says butting into the conversation before grabbing her brother as calling time is starting as everyone starts getting into a line. 

 

Many sympathetic looks are thrown at the star-crossed couple. Those who know it's fake- Daniel, Florence, and Johanna- do the same. Florence stops as she looks at Katniss. “I do hope you make it out alive, you and Peeta that is.''Florence says, sending the girl a small smile before following after Daniel leaving behind a bit of a shocked Katniss who recovers before Johanna comes beside her. “Your pearls are twisted, may I?''She asks the brunette who nods as Johanna fixes them, her fingers grazing against the woman’s neck sending shivers down both their spines before they seperate. “Make him pay for it.''is the last thing the District 7 female says to the girl. 

 

“Since watching you all has made me lonely, Peter is coming on the next break-mainly cause the author just wants to write us two because we’re just so cute. Plus the kiss between Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield was so hot, maybe me and Pete can remake it.”Deadpool says before turning off the mic. (I do not ship the actors, this is simply a joke)

 

Peeta watches both of these interactions with a frown on his face at the reactions Katniss has to them but has decided…maybe it truly is a lost hope that he’s been hanging onto. He should just be happy for Katniss and that’s when he decides to just do so. Leave his nonsense about maybe he’ll get her to marry him behind as he sees how the women around Katniss, even if their enemies, affect her. He hopes that they could at least stay friends but during this Quarter Quell they need to be the star crossed lovers…even though Katniss does despise as she told him after the first Hunger Games when it was over…when she explained her dislike for men. He stands by Katniss sending her a smile, one that doesn’t meet his eyes.

 

Then the interviews start. 

 

The interviews start with Cashmere and Gloss. Cashmere talks about the suffering of the capital people at seeing the victors die as they’ve connected with them all, yeah and not in ways people usually think of. Gloss talks about the pleasure the capitol has been and the nicest the people have provided them every year since their, his and his sister’s, games. Beetee questions the legal use of the games, which in many matters there isn’t any, and if it’s been fully examined by experts that aren’t the game makers. 

 

Then Finnick is called on-stage. He walks with his typical aloof confidence and charming smile on his face as he looks over the crowd and comes to stand in front of Caesar Flickerman. “I understand you have a message to a very certain someone out there.”Caesar says to the man, causing his smile to grow unbelievably bigger before he chuckles. “Can we hear it?”Caesar says, causing FInnick to nod as he looks into the camera before speaking into the mic. 

 

“My love, you have my heart for all eternity and if I die in the arena, my last thought will be of your lips.”He says, ending it off. Caesar chuckles while many in the crowd swoon over the man thinking the message was directed at them. 

 

 This causes Florence to roll her eyes knowing damn well no victor wants to date someone from the capitol. Especially with everything that goes on behind the scenes. She however is happy Annie is getting one last message from the man before the potential big death of him. 

 

Daniel walks up to the stage next with a charming smile on his face. “Daniel Blossom, the man himself.”Caesar says, introducing the man who smiles at him. “I wouldn’t say the man, that title belongs to President Snow doesn’t it.”Daniel says, earning a chuckle from Caesar. “Right it does. Now tell me Daniel, anything you’d like to say to the people?” Caesar asks, causing the man to shrug.

 

 “I think the people have just been awarded the best show of their damn lives, don't ya think. It’s like a finale that will always keep you captivated.”Daniel says, causing Caesar to nod. “With you in there I’m sure the ladies sure will be rooting for your win.”Caesar says, causing Daniel to shrug. “Now am i to disappoint.”Daniel says winking at the camera making the crowd swoon the same as Finnick did before his time ends for his interview. 

 

When Florence walks up on stage, cheers of people can be heard and a few screams of the name Mad Hatter, which causes her to frown a bit but she quickly masks it with a smirk as if she enjoys it. As if the name doesn’t remind her of the people she’s killed. 

 

In the theater Florence gestures for Johanna to pour her some alcohol which the woman does about a quarter of a glass before Florence downs it in one gulp knowing that having to rewatch her interview would be no fun for no one involved. 

 

She smiles as she walks up to Flickerman who leans in and kisses the girl’s cheek as she does the same as if they’re friends. “Now Ms.Roosevelt, the outfit today has not disappointed,”Flickerman says, causing Florence to throw on the same smile she’s mastered. “Yes well, my stylist, Odessa Croftman, has to take the credit for that.”Florence says, causing Flickerman to nod. 

 

Odessa has a proud and cocky smirk on her face clearly happy with her future self’s design. “See jack, that is greatness.”She says to the man teasing him. “Oh screw you.”The man says playfully, shoving the woman who just smiles at the man’s antics, finding it amusing. 

 

“Yes she does. But now about you, are you excited to get back in the arena? I know we are all excited to see the Mad Hatter in all her glory.”Caesar says, causing the girl to nod. “I think the excitement of it is definitely something that’s in my blood. But I do wonder how everyone will feel losing their favorite Victors to the games. Are they ready for it?”Florence says, turning the question back onto the man. 

 

“Well done Flo.”Finnick says, smiling at the man. “Well thank you water boy.”She says to the man clearly proud of herself.

 

“I know the relationships we’ve all made is something that goes beyond what the creators probably expected. But the audience and us are one in a sense, I’m not ready to lose that collection.”Florence says as Caesar nods. “Yes well, I guess that will be a question dawning on all of us as your time is up for today.”Caesar says smiling at the girl. 

 

She returns it before making her way to her post standing beside Daniel. “You did good.”The man says, making Florence chuckle. “The world really is ending since you’ve thanked someone else. That isn’t another way to compliment yourself.”She says causing him to chuckle before they go quiet to listen to Johanna who is walking onto the stage. 

 

“We have seen a lot of tears here tonight.''Caesar says to Johanna who rolls her eyes a slight smirk on her face, well aware of the game they're all playing. “But I see no tears in Johanna’s eyes. No, Johanna, you are angry. Tell me why.”He says. 

 

“As if he can tell you what you feel, didn’t know he was you all of a sudden.''Florence mutters under her breath, getting a slight pinch in her side from the brunette. “Ow!”She mutters looking over at the girl who’s glaring at her causing her to roll her eyes not caring about her comment as she knows she’s right. 

 

“Well, yes, I’m angry.”Johanna says slightly laughing, giving the audience a slightly mixed message of sorts. “You know I’m getting totally screwed over here. The deal was if I won the Hunger Games, I get to live the rest of my life in peace.”She says before turning her gaze directly to the camera, challenging President Snow in a way. “But now you wanna kill me again.”She says with a small chuckle under her breath. 

 

“Is it bad that I found that hot?”Florence says whispering into Johanna’s ear causing her to slightly blush. 

 

“Well you know what? FUCK THAT!”She screams causing the audience to slightly ‘aw’ while others scream on board with it. “And fuck everybody that had anything to do with it.”She says looking directly at the audience. 

 

When Katniss finally makes her way on board the audience is in absolute distress of emotions. People have been weeping, and fainting, and a few even calling for a change in the game rules. The sight of Katniss in her wedding gown causes many people to riot as they will no longer have the ‘star-crossed lovers’ act they so gladly enjoyed. 

 

Even Caesar frowns a bit of his professionalism cracking for a minute before it’s gone. Whenever he finally regains his composure he says. “Well Katniss, obviously this has been a very emotional night for us all. Is there anything you’d like to say?” Katniss throws on a sad look making her lip tremble a bit as she speaks. “Only that I’m so sorry you won’t get to be at my wedding…but I’m glad you at least get to see me in my dress. Isn’t it just…the most beautiful thing?”She says before going to twirl the dress, raises the sleeves above her head. 

 

“Damn sweetheart, never knew you to be an actor.”Haymitch says slightly chuckling as he drinks more out of the flask he has. “You told me to do what I needed to so they’d stop the games. So I guess you can thank your sober self for that.``She says to the man who chuckles, waving her off clearly in a  drunken state. 

 

As she twirls smoke comes from the dress as it burns. Panicking, she continues spinning with the question ‘why has Cinna decided to make my dress burn?! for me to be naked?!’ repeating in her head. 

 

Many laugh at being able to hear the girl’s thoughts while Katniss leans into Peeta covering her red face with her hands as she blushes from embarrassment. 

 

Cinna just shakes his head at the girl’s thought knowing that the girl had no idea but the mere thought of him burning the dress for her to be naked on stage makes him have an amused smirk on his face. 

 

As the burning finishes she lifts her arms again seeing she isn’t naked. Whenever she looks into the camera she sees the reveal of her dress. The dress is now black, charcoal, and it looks like tiny feathers escape from the arms. Then it dawned on Katniss, Cinna had made her into a mockingjay. 

 

Still smoldering, Caesar slowly touches his hand to the girl’s new transformed dress. “Feathers, you’re like a bird.”He says, whispering in slight awe. “A mockingjay, I think.”Katniss says to the man. “It’s the bird on the pin I wear as my token.”She says innocently. 

 

A shadow of recognition goes across Caesar’s face giving away that he knows what the symbol means in the districts, especially since he is a part of the plan to save the victors not that anyone knows but Heavensbee. He then quickly masks it with his usual smile. 

 

“Well, hats off to your stylist. I don’t think anyone can argue that that’s not the most spectacular thing we’ve seen during an interview. Cinna, I think you better take a bow!”Caesar says as the camera pans over to the man who stands up from his chair. He does a small bow kissing his lips and sending it up to the stage gracefully as if he was a part of the act on stage himself. 

 

A frown comes on Katniss face on stage with a slight look of fear, a fear for what Cinna’s actions may cause for him to get as a consequence. 

 

“Don’t worry about me Katniss, you got a games to win.”Cinna says to the girl sending her a small smile that she returns but a look of sadness is hidden behind it as she knows what happens to the man due to his actions with trying to save her, make her the mockingjay.

She turns back around when she feels two hands squeezing hers in comfort. She smiles at both her girlfriend’s trying to convey that she’s okay. “You know you don’t have to pretend with us right?”Florence says to the woman who nods. “I’m not.”Katniss says, causing Johanna to slightly chuckle. “You know you’re stubborn at the wrong times sometimes.”Johanna says fondly to the girl who shrugs. “It's a quality that you both love.”She whispers lowly to the two. 

 

 “I can hear you three over here.”Peeta says butting in, causing all three women to turn to him. “And Katniss, we’re here for you.”Peeta says, turning to the woman while the looks on the threes face, the playful glares, soften. “I know.”Katniss replies to the man. 

 

The audience who was momentarily stunned by the display broke into a wild applause. The buzzer indicating that her time is up is barely heard over the audience’s roar of screams. Caesar says one last ‘thank you’ to the girl on fire before Katniss returns to her seat the dress feeling ten times lighter than it was when she walked on stage. 

 

She passes Peeta who doesn’t look at her as she walks by. She thinks nothing of it as she carefully sits down as the boy walks onto the stage. 

 

“So Peeta. What was it like when, after all you've been through, you found out about the Quarter Quell?”Caesar asks the boy. “I mean it was a shock, one minute I was watching Katniss in these beautiful wedding dresses and the next…”Peeta trails off grimly. “You realized there wasn’t going to be a wedding?”Caesar asks gently, pushing the boy to finish the sentence. 

 

“Can I tell you a secret?”Peeta asks carefully, thinking over his words. Caesar laughs a bit nervously before looking towards the crowd and then nodding yes. “We’re already married.”Peeta says, causing the crowd to burst out in screams while Katniss buries her head in her dress in pure confusion on where the blonde could possibly be going with this. 

 

Many in the room uproar with shock responses while those from the future laugh at the whole ordeal finding it funny as hell.

 

 “Imagine we are just a big affair.”Florence whispers to the rest of the group, causing them to laugh even harder. “If Taylor was here she’d be beating up on all of us.”Peeta says as they continue laughing clutching onto to each other and holding their stomachs that are starting to hurt from laughter. 

 

Everyone calms down at hearing the laughter coming from the group, past Peeta going from having a smile on his face as bright as the sun to a frown wondering what would be so funny about him and Katniss being married.

 

 “What’s funny?”He asks, causing the group to stop laughing and calming down as they turn to him. “Me and Katniss are not married. It was just to trick the capitol.”Peeta says to his past self who frowns even more. “But we are in the future right?”He says, causing Peeta to scoff. “Just watch the movie.”He says not caring to deal with himself right now and turns back to the front. 

 

“How so?”Caesar asks, completely confused. Peeta then details the marriage ritual that happens in District 12 to the crowd. 

 

“So this was before the Quell?”Caesar asks, causing Peeta to nod. “I’m sure if we knew about the Quell we wouldn’t have gone through with it so quickly,”Peeta replies. “We couldn’t have seen that coming though, I guess no one could really. I mean we were victors, guaranteed peace and everyone was so happy about our relationship and then this happens.”He says a bit bitterly. 

 

Caesar puts his arm around the boy’s shoulder. “AS you said no one could have predicted this. But I must say I am happy that you and Katniss had some time together as a married couple. A few months of bliss.”He says smiling trying to make the conversation happy again. “I’m not happy about this.”Peeta replies, backing Caesar to be taken back. “Surely anytime is better than none right?”He says, causing Peeta to shake his head as he sighs looking down..”I’d think that too…if not for the baby.”He says. 

 

Everyone in the room is shocked at the statement, aware of what the four had mentioned earlier, but they still can’t get over it. 

 

Past Peeta the most at hearing himself say these things but he is bitter that they aren’t real but he has seen his on-screen self accept defeat when it comes to Katniss so shouldn’t he do the same. 

 

The audience is silent before voices start whispering confirming that Peeta had actually said something about a baby. Then the crowd goes wild screaming and protesting for the games to be stopped as they can’t lose the possibility of the couple being happy with a baby by killing them off in the Hunger Games. 

 

Haymitch sits in his seat raising a glass up to Peeta smirk on his face, clearly proud of the boy who only smirks right back at him. 

 

“Everything goes according to plan.”Deadpool sings out over the mic. “Ya know that is an extremely rare thing these day with so many fuck ups. If you wanted my second movie you would know as my plan for a X-Force died as soon as it started.”He says sighing out a bit sadly before he lets out a laugh before turning off the mic moving on. 

 

Katniss' face is zoomed in on screen, something she is clearly aware of. Katniss herself seems to be taken back by the  information. She doesn’t make any effort to hide any emotion that comes to her, clearly displaying it for the crowd to see her inner turmoil. 

 

Caesar can’t even reign in the crowd whenever Peeta’s time to leave the stage is ready. 

 

Peeta returns back to his spot where Katniss is with tears in his eyes making her look at him. Peeta reaches his hand out to Katniss in which she returns needing the comfort of a friend as she spirals from what Peeta had said. During this, she reaches her hand out grabbing Chaff’s, the female tribute from District 11, hand. 

 

Then as quickly as it began it ended as all the victors one by one grabbed each other's hand. Bringing them into the air. This is the first display of all the districts standing together publicly, something the capitol always preached against since the Dark Ages. But they don’t turn off the program too late as everyone in the capitol and districts see the victors holding hands. 

 

Then the lights on stage go black as the victor’s start to fend for themselves. Finnick, Florence, Daniel, and Johanna try to follow after Peeta and Katniss as they are pushed into elevators but the four are stopped by peacekeepers being pushed back. Even if they try fighting they know it’ll only make it worse. 

 

As the two go up Peeta grabs Katniss' shoulder making the girl look at him. “We don’t have much time so is there anything I need to apologize for?”He says hurriedly in a panic. “Right now, nothing. Maybe later”She says not have had enough time to stomach or process anything to give him a real answer.Peeta nods in understanding. 

 

Florence and Daniel make it back to their room, having been separated from Johanna and Finnick quite harshly by a peacekeeper. When they return they see everyone, their prep squad and trainers have gone home. 

 

They sigh, turning to each other. “This is worse than meeting rock bottom, like worse than when the people who did the human centipede movie signed up for it.”Daniel says in an attempt to bring humor to the situation but also say how serious it is. He smiles as a chuckle comes from Florence. “Honestly, that is such a horrible movie.”She says before sighing.

 

 “We need to get some rest, the games start tomorrow. Let’s just hope we make it out alive with some form of sanity intact.”Florence says patting the man’s shoulder before making her way to her room to rest for the night, taking a bottle of alcohol with her so the nightmares won’t wake her up.
