POW

Summary: Male reader whose part of the 141 gets captured during a mission and the team rallies to rescue them.

Warnings for: Graphic depictions of injury, torture, violence

Pairings: None, not really. Soap x M!Reader or Ghost x M!Reader if you squint I guess, but I didn’t write this with pairings in mind.

Authors note: I have not played the game, I’m poor, so if the characters are ooc please forgive me. I’m going by the fics and drabbles I’ve read.

Part 1/?

Pt 2 Pt. 3

Sacrifice

“Gaz, I’m gonna make you an opening! Get out of here! I’ll be right behind you!” you shout over the gunfire. 

Gaz looks reluctant, but nods anyway. 

You turn your attention back to the fire fight, and empty your last magazine as you lay down cover fire for your companion to get away. 

“Go! Go!” you shout, watching out of your peripheral as Gaz makes a break for it through a doorway that leads outside. 

Ducking back down behind the makeshift barricade you’ve taken cover behind, you pat yourself down for any spare ammunition. To no avail. All you have left is a knife and a grenade. 

You curse. 

It will have to do. 

Lobbing the device over the barricade, you ready your knife and wait for the grenade to go off before exiting cover to run after your companion. 

There’s a lull in the gunfire, but you barely register it as your heart pounds in your head, legs pushing you forward as fast as you can muster yourself to go. 

You’re nearly there. You can almost reach out and touch the wood frame of the doorway Gaz had run through just moments before. He’s probably already regrouped with the rest of the team by now, waiting for you to join them.

A lone gunshot rings out, and before you can process the pain in your knee, your leg gives out and sends you to the floor. The knife in your hand knocked out of your grasp, sliding across the floor. 

“Gah!” A pained sound manages to rip itself out of your dry throat as the pain finally blooms in your kneecap. 

The sound of footsteps behind you has your heart leaping into your throat and you scramble for the knife. But just as your fingers brush the handle of the blade, a boot stomps down on your hand. 

You hiss, and dare to look up at your assailant, only to see the butt of a rifle coming down at your head before everything goes dark. 

---

“Gaz, you made it! Where’s (Y/C/S)?” Soap calls out as Gaz jogs up to the rest of the team. Ghost is tying a cloth around Johnny’s arm, reddening from a wound where he was clipped by a bullet.

“We were pinned down… (Y/C/S) covered my exit… said he’d be right behind me,” Gaz huffs, trying to catch his breath. 

Gaz turns around, and everyone else looks past him as well, expecting you to come round the corner any moment. 

Seconds pass, nothing. Not even any sounds indicating your approach. Even the gunfire in the distance back where Gaz had come from had ceased and an unnerving silence had fallen over the battlefield. 

“Maybe-” Soap starts, but a single gunshot cuts him off and he, Gaz and Ghost are already running.

By the time they get there, though, the building is clear. No one, save for the enemy corpses you and Gaz had managed to bring down in your firefight, was left inside. 

“He said he’d be right behind me,” Gaz says again, his voice wavering, and Ghost gives him a pat on the shoulder as he walks past, a silent comfort that he isn’t to blame. 

“L.t., I’ve got something,” Soap says, his voice laced with disappointment. 

On the ground, just inside the doorway, (Y/C/S)’s knife lay discarded on the ground, along with splatters of fresh blood and the tell-tale signs that a body had been dragged away. 

“They got ‘im,” says Soap, more to himself than to anyone in particular. 

“Fuck!” Gaz curses, and kicks at a piece of old wooden furniture, smashing it to pieces.

“We going after them then, L.t.?” Soap speaks up again, an edge to his voice this time, a quiet rage building within him. 

You hadn’t been with the 141 long, but in that short time you had, Soap had already grown fond of you. They all have. Especially Gaz, who had practically become your best friend and teamed up with often. 

You fell in with the group so easily, like you had always belonged with them, even Ghost seemed to enjoy your presence among them. 

Ghost looks up from where he had been quietly studying the scene, dark eyes taking in every bit of information to be gleaned from what was left. 

“Negative,” he answers, his tone low and dangerous. Then he turns and makes for the exit.

Soap blinks, confused, and looks over to Gaz, who looks equally as baffled by the Lieutenants response. 

“Sir-” A protest already on the tip of Soap’s tongue, moving to follow him. But when Ghost whirls back around on him, the Scotsman’s lips clamp shut.

“They’re long gone, Johnny. And right now we’re not equipped to go after them. But make no mistake,” Ghost loomed over the Sergeant, brows knitted in what Soap could tell was a menacing scowl under the skull mask. “We will get him back,”

His eyes flick over to Gaz as he finishes, “Mark my words.”

---

You awake in the dark, tied to a chair by your wrists and ankles, presumably with some sort of sack over your head. 

The first thing you feel is the pain from the blow to the head that knocked you out. The second is the bullet still lodged in your kneecap and the third is the cold that seems to have settled into your bones, making you shiver. 

As you test your restraints, the leg of the chair you’re in scrapes slightly against the floor and the sound echoes around the room, telling you it’s probably some sort of jail cell. And as the bag is snatched off your head, you find your deductions to be correct.

The only thing in the room save for you and your chair is your captor, who stands in front of you, and a few guards by the barred entrance. The walls are made of a dingy concrete that look about as bad as you feel. Stained with who knows what, indicating you’re probably not the first person to have taken up residence here. The only source of light comes from behind you, you assume a small window high up on the wall that lets in the most pathetic amount of sunlight imaginable.

“Good morning,” your captor taunts, giving you a sick smirk. “I’m sure you understand the… situation you are in.”

You remain silent, giving your captor the nastiest glare you could manage.

The man continues, using his hands as he speaks in an almost casual manner, “This doesn’t have to be difficult. Your stay here can be as long or as short as you would like. It’s all up to you. I just have a few questions, and if you answer them honestly, you are free to go. Understand?”

Your lips, chapped and cracked from dehydration, curl back from your teeth in a snarl.

“What makes you think I would tell you anything?”  

Your captor sighs deeply and clicks his tongue, circling around to stand behind you.

“Shame. But you underestimate,” a rope falls over your head, and by the time you realize it’s a noose, it’s already tightened threateningly around your throat, pulling a choked sound from you as your airway is constricted. “In the end, we will get what we want.”

---

The days drag on, and the 141 are no closer to finding you than the day you were taken. Everyone has run themselves ragged trying to gain intel on your whereabouts, especially Ghost, whom Price has had to order to rest on more than one occasion. 

Everyone is exhausted and on edge, but hope is not lost, and when Gaz comes back with intel on a possible location, they all spring to action. 

“Sergeant, are you sure about this?” asks Price, going over the plan in the meeting room with the rest of the team.

“No,” Gaz answers honestly, “But at present it’s all we’ve got, sir.” 

“Why are we debatin’ this?” Soap chimes in, and all eyes are on him. “We should be stormin’ this place. Even if (Y/N)’s not there, we might find something else that could point us in the right direction. Besides,”

A dark expression crosses Soap’s features and he cracks his knuckles, “Wouldn’t mind cracking a few skulls in the meantime.” 

A hush falls over the team as Soap’s words are considered. But it doesn’t last long, as Ghost’s voice breaks the silence.

“Agreed. If there’s a chance, Captain, we should take it.”

Everyone’s attention is back on Price, who is looking around the table at the team in turn, noting the determination in their expressions.

“Right,” Price says at last. “Ready up. Let’s bring our boy home.”

I know that they probably named powder powder so vi can call her pow pow but I like to think vi and jinxs parents just had a severe case of second child syndrome so with vi they popped off with violet but with jinx they couldn't be fucked picking her name until she was literally born and just named her after the first thing they saw in the room. like you know which child was 100% an accident

"violet you are named after your mother's favorite flower, it bloomed as her pregnancy came to an end so you were born right in season for all the gardens topside to be filled with violets" "daddy what was I named after" "I mean your hair is blue idk"

This is a drabble that takes place a while after Ombra’s first day in Black Dragon. Ombra goes there just to see Alex ( @chadillacboseman ) again, and analyze him a bit more. Also, she meets Alora ( @bihanspookies ). This is not proof read!

It was worth it to encounter Kano so uncomfortably often just to see him for a few minutes. Alex Demir was making me more and more curious each day. He was handsome for sure, and also charming in his own way, but those kind eyes looking at me so cheerfully and that toothy smile which belonged to a baby boy, they did not belong to this mess of a fight club.

I put my hands in my pants’ pockets, and watched General Argen dodging a woman’s poweful punches and kicks. Argen happily followed me and insisted on fighting all day in the cage; just like a toddler going to the amusement park with his mother. The savage crowd around the fighting cage were ripping their throats apart by their endless screamings.

I scanned them from where I was standing - away in the shadows -, hoping to catch a glimpse of Alex. I would not miss that messy bun and headband, and of course, that height. But apparently, he wasn’t there.

I turned on my heels to go for a walk around the club; all around it. That was the main reason I came here in the first place, and that very motovation blooming in me made me nervous. From the first second Argen and I entered the portal to Earthrealm I kept reminding myself that this would pass. I would analyze him, his behavior and who he actually was, and I would erase him from my mind. The only reason that dragged me all the way from Metalrealm to Black Dragon was his Turkish accent, not his cute jokes and the way his pretty eyes gleamed when he looked at me… .

No! No, no, no, no, no!

I stood still. I was obeying my emotions.

“There you are, Ms. Ironhead.” A feminine voice called, a little bit lost in the distant yellings and deafening music. Her auburn hair was neatly braided, and the sleeveless turtleneck highlighted her well trained muscles.

“Alex and I heard that you have paid us another visit. He’s looking for you, I guess. He was thinking that he could use your help with that new explosive he’s crafting. And I have found you now. Guess I’ve done a big favor for him.” The woman explained.

Despite her implied humor, he intense blue eyes were daggers to my own.

I nodded. “Thank you.” And I started walking again.

“Nice jaw, by the way.” She threw a compliment in a totally monotone voice.

I rose my hand in appreciation, then immediately made a turn, and the increasing volume of the noises was reduced dramatically. I dashed in the corridor untill I reached the stairs. I flew upstairs, passed a corridor, and made another turn. My heart was booming in my chest.

Finally someone else said it!

The Telegraph:

Brad Pitt – and nine other men who get better with age

Looking better as you get older is something that’s happening to men a lot these days. You assume they’ve reached their as-good-as-it-gets point, usually somewhere in their 30s, and then you realise that was, in fact, pre-properly hot – the fluffy foam on the double espresso, so to speak.

Here are some of the other top ­better-with-age (BWA) contenders of the summer.

Prince William

There are lots of people – republicans, women closer in age to Princess Anne, baldists – who never in their wildest dreams imagined thinking, “I quite fancy the heir to the throne,” yet who are now doing just that. William is only 41, so it’s early days to be discussing a late-life blooming, but it makes sense if you remember that his supposed hotness peak was just post-St Andrews, when some people thought he bore a passing resemblance to Val Kilmer.

Since then, he has grown into his teeth and fixed his clothes, and the hair loss that’s done for Harry’s looks (maybe it’s just us) has given William a kind of GQ Awards smoothness that rather suits him. We’re also aware that practically anyone looks hot in polo kit, but the PoW really does; and he’s a hands-on Dad, so that helps, too.

Progress in the press?

Hi Skippy & Friends-Pilgrim here just poking around the usual sites the Carparkles use. Welll…as of today the 24th of March here are a few quick stats…at People under Royals guess what I see listed? Rows and rows of articles on the P&PoWs and other working members of the royal family. There are only a few waaaay down at the bottom of the listings on the Carparkle’s; their one sentence “get better” message with old video of them and 2 about their friends defending their photoshopped photos. Serious scrubbing there.

Still at People under News there is a fun, colorful story about the big 60th birthday party this weekend for Rob Lowe -the famous Montecito actor and longtime resident who loves to surf and redo homes. The articles list all the other really famous area residents who attended, photographed by Backgrid. No ex-royals shown. Robert Downey Jr, Zoe Saldana, Amy Poehler, Kevin Costner Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow with Brad Falchuck…Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom, Ellen and Portia, Adam Levine & Behati Prinsloo, Cameron and Benji with mention of the arrival of the 2nd child.

Over at Us…LOL…under Royals, they have an old video of them with the Carparkle’s one sentence message.  One has to really dig to see it though. The video is from the first NYC PR fake fest tour.

Over on the NY Post’s Page Six, there is an article about Andy Cohen getting slammed by one of his former housewives who says, “Andy Cohen gets a kick out of being cruel to women and Kate Middleton is no exception.” “Cohen has not yet retracted or addressed his comments about Middleton.”

Over and out from a chilly Cape Cod.

Excellent post!  Thank you so much dear Pilgrim🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Perfect Finale Ch35

The kids stared in horror as the Tim and Negati were fading away. "It's worse than I thought! We're running out of time!" Balan exclaimed "What's happening?! Why are they fading?!" Mei gasped. "The unfortunate consequences of staying out of The Thea-...of Wonderworld for too long. When the theater was here, Those in Wonderworld could stay in and out as long as they pleased. But now that the theater is destroyed, we have no link to Wonderworld, effectively cutting off the magic that keeps all of us alive." Lance said.

"So...Without the theater, you'll all fade?!" Trisha Jane realized "Yes...and if the Tims and Negati are starting to fade, then our window of opportunity is closing..." Balan said. "But the only one who can do this right now is Kaylo, and she's having problems controlling the power of an entire world." Leo said. "PLEASE STOP BRINGING THAT UP!!" Kaylo screams, feeling the power of the heart flood through her again.

That's when Emma got an idea. "Hang on!" She said, going to the back of the auditorium, and bringing out...a Keytar. "Here! You play the Keytar right? What if you play this. It might calm you down a little." She said. Kaylo raised an eyebrow. "I don't know if this is the right time to be playing an instrument Emma..." she said. "Well...Don't you go to your happy place when you play?" Emma said. Kaylo froze. Emma did have a point, one of her happy places was when she had her Keytar in hand.

"Hmm...OK. Give it here..." she said. Emma handed her the instrument as Kaylo's hand ran across it. A sense of familiarity filled her as she played a few chords on the Ivory kegs. Soon, those chords became more melodious, more like actual music the more she played it. She closed her eyes as the music got faster, her hands now moving quicker as a smile began growing on her face. Unbeknownst to her, in her happy place, a glowing set of doors began to form and come into existence.

The costumes all silently gasped as the maestros stared in wonder. However, the door wasn't the only thing coming into existence, for at the same time, through that melody, the auditorium stage became larger, and more grand than how it was before, as Wonderworld Flora blossomed on the stage. The Tims and Negati, while still somewhat weakened, squeaked and chirped in joy at the familiar fauna that bloomed around them.

When Kaylo finally stopped playing, she slowly opened her eyes, but was confused at everyone's staring "What?" She asked. "You found you happy place..." Balan said with a smile, as he gestured for her to turn around. When she did, Kaylo gasped as she saw a glowing version of one of the theater's doors in front of her. "Wow...I did it..." she whispered. Lance gave his own smile, until he remembered what they were dealing with.

"Alright...Let's not squander this opportunity now." He said. The humans nodded as a Merry Ghost gave a cheer "LETS GET OUR HOME BACK!" She exclaimed. However, Balan shook his head. "No. With Yin back in Wonderworld, there's no telling if it's safe for you to return yet. Once we stop Yin, we'll get everyone back into Wonderworld." He said. The costumes weren't particularly happy at the statement...but they knew the risks that came with re-entering Wonderworld while Yin was in there.

"Yes! Its payback time!" Kaylo said, marching towards the door, when Balan's hand gently placed itself on her shoulder and stopped her"That...goes for you too Kaylo..." Balan said. "What?!" She cried "With Wonderworld's heart inside you, you'll make yourself a walking target. You need to keep that thing away from Yin..." Emma said "But I wanna help! I made the way back to Wonderworld, without magic Yin's probably gonna destroy you!" Kaylo argued. "I know you want to help, but if Yin gets the heart, it spells doom for us all. We need you to stay here so you can protect the heart." Balan said

Kaylo gave a sad sigh, she really did want to help, but the heart was the first prioity, even if the maestros were powerless. "Alright. I'll stay here then" she said, although still worried. Balan turned to the Tins ans Costumes as Lance did to the Negati and Negabosses. "Until we return, or at least until Yin is taken care of, You all must protect Kaylo, and Wonderworld's Heart" He said "Got it! We'll guard her and the heart with our lives." A Guardian Bird said. "Good...We wish you all good luck." Lance replied. The humans all turned to the door, staring it down.

It was time to reclaim Wonderworld...
