Nik: If you chug a bottle of vodka on December 31st at 11:57:32, you’ll probably be vomiting horrendously when the clock strikes midnight.

Nik: Start your new year at rock bottom so you can only go up.

Rookies: Excuse me, where is Captain Price?

Nik: Resting. Now, pay attention.

In his shadow

Young Price/Nik | inspired by tweet

Price POV

Jonathan Price Jr. always stands in the gigantic shadow of his father. Coronel John Price Sr. was hard on his soilder and even hader on his only son. Being the best was never good enough and Mrs Price did as her husband told her. It was a shitty childhood filled with the feeling of being unloved, unwanted and to do as you're told. Price and his sisters just followed the rules, the punishment for breaking them was not worth it. They all learned that sooner or later. His older Sister Hannah run away with a significant older man at 17 and never heared of again, his younger sister Susane is struggling with addiction since shes 15 and he was forced to enlist at 18. And all the time he is still in the shadow of his father. If he exalted it is nothing special because he is Coronel Price son if he failed he was told they expected more of Coronel Price son. He could not win. It was the same when he joined the SAS even if he gave 250% its expected from him. He worked himself to the bone and slowly starts to crawl out of the shadow his father is casting over him. First he hated his current CO, but now he's grateful to not get any special treatment anymore. If he performed good he got praise if he performed bad he got criticism like another member of the squad. At the beginning being treated like everyone else felt like being treated worse even if it always was all he ever wanted. He slowly became his own person for the first time in his life things finally start looking good, that's till Nikolai is entering his life. Well Nik fall, literally fall in his life and is a pain in Price ass ever since.

Sergeant John Price is hiding behind some bushes looking out if unwanted visitors are aproaching the target zone. His squad the Hell Hounds under Captain Jones is trying to find some important intel from a weapon dealers house at the Rusian-Polish border. He heard yelling getting louder through the open window from the second floor. Someone is running he hears the person getting closer and closer to the window, foot steps loudly echoing through the hallway, but its a dead end. Who ever is this stupid idiot running for his life jumps out of the window, hoping to land in the thorn bushes under the window. He hears the voice of a young man cursing before a weight is landing on him. His face is pressed against a bunch of rocks and he hears his nose break, the air brutally pressed out of his lungs. "Ah thanks", the young man says in russian when he gets up before dashing over towards the woods, running for his life. Angry screams from the window yelled at the young man Price just stays as still as possible, while blood is running out of his nose. By dumb luck the man who is screaming death threats is not looking down. "This is Bravo-4 looks like some was here before us", Lieutenant MacMiller says over radio. "Please repeat Bravo-4." The gears in Price head are turning, the man that jumped out the window, can he be the thief? "We are to late Bravo-0, the files are gone." It a gamble the angry screaming from the second floor ended a while ago, but that's had not to mean anything, also his job is it to make sure they get out here alive. "This Bravo-7 a few minutes ago a the possible thief run past my position towards the forest.", Price reports keeping some details to himself. "How long ago, Bravo-7?" "3-4 minutes." "Is the road clear?" "Yes Sir." "Go get him Junior. Bravo 3 and 4 also move to the forest" Price hates beeing called Junior but he he's on his feet running behind the assumed thief.

Who ever the guy is he clearly is unexperienced, getting on his track with no problem. The trace of stomped down flowers and farns, pieces of cloths on bushes made Price job easy. And soon he sees the back of them man. He has black hair, that is nearly shoulder long. He's wearing cloths to look like the personel of the arms dealers so he could blend in with out problem, maybe not such a bloddy amateur. Price gets closer and closer and the guy looks over his shoulder giving him a big grin. The look in his eyes seems to challenge him 'catch me if you can'. He can already touch the back of the jacket with his fingertips when the man suddenly takes a hard right, Price is sliding a bit over the floor before he is on course again. His lungs and legs are buring, having trouble to breath with his bleading nose. The Russian is trying to take a hard left but Price is able to ram in him they both fall on the hard forest floor. They tumble for a while, angry Russian and English curses echoing throughthe forest. Price gets a elbow to his face, against his nose, the pain making Price pull back a bit by instinkt. The Russian uses this to crawl away and trying to get on his feet again so Price can to pull him back by his ankle. They roll over the floor fighting each other for a while. During their fight the ear piece falls out of Price ear, so he dint hear the others asking for his postion. Price needs his whole body weight to keep the thief down so he can put the earpiece back in. Price pins the arms over the captives head, sitting on his lower stomach, they are facing each other. Both panting heavily blood running down both their faces. Price now having additional to his broken nose a bleeding eye brow, the Russian had a heavy bleeding lip and will get a big black eye. They angrily stare each other down. "You know normally I get diner first before I let people do this with me", the man says winking at Price. "Usally I do the pinning down, it's a interesting change." Price mouth is dropping open, he is speechless his russian is just good enough to understand what the man said based on context. "Bravo-7 what your status, we are on your track", it sound over the radio but Price is still to shocked to answer. The guy head buds him and against his nose again, but Price grip on him stays strong. "Motherfucker", Price curses in pain. "Who do you work for?", the Russian asks. "Who do you work for?", Price asks back in broken Russian. The Russian thinks a bit trying to figure out his accent. "British, huh?", the Russian states confused Price stays silent.

Bravo-4 is the first to get to them. His Lieutenant claps him on the shoulder as a good job. "Bravo-3 reached Junior and the target, turn right where we split up." "Understood." Price hates beeing called Junior, he is the youngest team member, but thats not why they call him that. They call him Junior because of his fucking father. The Prisoner watches Price reaction intresstet looking for a way to hopefully get out of the mess he got himself into. Even if the young Russian don't have what they look for he still has possibel information they need. They restrain their prisoner waiting for information about exfile. Bravo-3 patches both if them up, getting nearly bitten by their prisoner as a thanks. Besides this the Russian Price asumes is around the same age as him so 28ish. They ignore him way more worried about someone else also tracking their prisinor in this forest. They left so many traces behind a bloddy child could track them down. The silence is tense "This Bravo-0 exfile in 3 hours at point gamma." "Understood Bravo-0, see you there." They would have to walk rather fast to get to point gamma in time, it's the furthest West of the 4 exfile locations. The walk should take them this long and it's not like the prisoner is slowing them down on purpose he simply can't keep up their speed. Even Price struggels to keep up, because breathing his heard with a nose filled with dried blood. But he is to stuborn to be the reason they miss exfile and likely stay the night right in enemy territory. They maybe would have need 2 hours for this way with out him, now they only have half an hour left for still a 4th of the way to go. Bravo-4 throws the young Russian over his shoulder simply because they are faster this way. Angry russian curses are spat at him, but Bravo-4 seems to think they are funny. "I like this one Price, good catch." "Thanks Sir." Price would love if they didn't had to carry him with them. They didn't even check if he even has the documents, at least he will have some sort of useful information. They barely reach exfile on time. They basically throw the prisoner in the helicopter before climbing in themselves. "So that our thief?", Bravo-2 ask curios. "Gave Price a good fight", Bravo-3 sniggers, causing Price to roll his eye and their prisinor to smirk. So he does understand alteat a littel bit English.

Young Price/Nik

Nik POV

Nik sits in the interrogation room, waiting. Its not his first time, will not be his last one. Someone gave him a ice pack for his eye. A older man walks in, probably the leader of the Squad. "So what did you want from the weapons dealer?", the man asks in nearly accent free russian. Nik stays silent. "Who do you work for?" "What's your name?" "Where are the files?" The files are still hiden in his jacket. "Not that talkative huh?" This goes on for a while till a young blond woman is entering the room. "I will take it from here Captain", she says with a polite smile, putting down a folder on the table. "You pulled something on our guest, Laswell?", the captian asks impressed. "A littel bit", Laswell confirms, its honestly barely nothing. The Captian leaves the room, leting the two alone knowing that Kate Laswell is more then capebale of handeling herself. "Im, Kate Laswell, Nikolai", Kate indruduces herself and Nikolai is turning pale, she knows his name, his real name. "You think your father aproves of this?", she asks him still smilling politly. She knows, she fucking knows! Who is she? Did she get this information from what just a picture of him with a bloddy lip and a black eye? "Dont think my father even knows I left", Nikolai says like he dont give a fuck and not as ud he is about to panic. "Mhm, imagin what happens if he hears that is only son is selling his body like a common whore", Laswell threatens him, in the most friendlyway Nik ever experienced. Does Nikolai want to join a separist group because the leader is playing right in his daddy issues? Maybe, but he dont want it THIS bad. "What if I answer the questions?", Nikolai asks, not having another choice. "He will never know", Kate answers with a fake smile. "Deal", Nikolai answers, still afrait how this woman knows about his not so gloriuse time of not caring who is fucking him.

"Who you're working for?", Kate asks him and Nikolai has the feeling in the folder are some answers to the questions. "Seperist group, they dont like how Moscow is doing thinks", Nikolai answers, getting a not from Kate. Something she likely knows already. "Who is the group leader?", Kate asks looking up from the fille. "He intrudidet himslef as Artyorm to me, but I cant tell you if its his real name or not", Nikolai answers, getting shown a photo. "This the man you know as Artyorm?", she asks getting a head shake as answer. She pulls out another photo, another head shake one last photo answerd with another head shake, Nik never seen these man before, was this a trick or did he simply didn't know everyone in the group yet? "Discripe Artyorm", Kate tells him picking up a pencil. "Around the age of the Captain, bolt, nazi tattos he says he dont belive in anymore, brown eyes", Nikolai trys to recall Artyorm as good as possibel, at least the ones that will help to identify him and not well other things. He probablycan duscribe the mans dick better then his face. "Position of the tattoos?, Kate asks, the best identifier you could get with a face less, name less threat. "Swastica on the left site of his head, but he covers it up most of the time. Doppel ss that looks like lighting bolts on his left chest", Nikolai recalls the ones you could see outsite of a bedroom. "Anymore?", she asks him and Nikolai has the feeling shes knows that he knows that he has more. "A... destroyed David star on his right thigh", Nikolai answers looking at the table not wanting to see any judgement in the eyes of the woman. "Is it normaly covert?", Kate asked and he nods, feeling ashamed of himself. Ahe was not wrong when she called him a common whore. "What did you do at the wepaons dealer?", she asks thankfully moving on, not sounding like she is judging him. "Stealing or destroying sertain paperwork", Nikolai answers still looking at the table he knows if he looks up know the shame will get worse. "Why?" The scratching of pen on paper is filling the silence why Nik trys to rember if he ever was given a explanation for that. "Was just told, what the folder looks like not what was in it and i have to do it to join the group", Nik explains a knot slowly forming in his stomach did they sent him there to get rid of him? "They where ready to sacrefice you in there", Kate lays out the facts to him. Nikolai wants to tell her shes wrong, that he would never do this, but he cant, knowing she's right and it hurts. "I made it out", Nikolai conters weakly, he probably would not have found out of the forest. "Because you had dumb luck and Price eh.. stoped your fall", Kate says amused clearly have heared of how he and Price first 'meet'. "Well would not have to jump out the window if you guys wouldnt have shown up", Nikolai huffes, everything worked perfectly till they shown up kickign doors down. "Where are the documents?" Niks heartrate picks up, what should he answer to this. He knows the file is still hiden in his jacket, but should he give it up? He probably should use it to negociate a deal. He needs time to think, alone, he needs a plan, he owns Artyorm nothing he was used by him in more then one way. It makes his skin crawl and he has the familiar urge to shower for hours to get clean. "I will only tell Price", he answers, hoping to be able to stall some time with this request.

"Of course", Kate says before leaving Nikolai alone. Think, think, think, Nikolai tells himself, but his brain is empty. What can he ask for giving them the folder? Getting send home? Why should he go there? A way out of Russia, but where to go? What if they deam the info's not worth it? He's in a very bad postion. Kate comes back, with a angry looking patched up Price following her. His nose covered with gaze, bruises have formed by now. "Nik, that's Johnantan Price, the guy you fallen on and who's nose you broke? Twice?", Kate is introduced them, Price just looks pisst, his ears turning a light shade of red. "Have some maners John", Kate critises John's behaivor. "We fought on a forest floor, I think its to late for manner now", John states clipped its clear he wants to be away from Nik. "The folder", Kate simply says and well Nik was nothing to stall further, no think he can negotiate. "Hidden pocket in the jacket", Nik give up the information not being able to get it himself, because he is chained to the tabel just given enough motion range to put the ice pack on his eye.

Price pulls out the keys to open the hand cuffs and Nik gets out of the jacket puting it on the tabel sliding it towards Kate. The woman looks impresst but also concerned with the way the hiden pocket is worked in the piece of clothing. An expensive job because you have to know there is a hiden pocket to begin with to kniw what to look for to open it. The folder she pulls out it well it looks a bit rough, a few tears and wrinkles but it's not his fault he had to fight on the floor. He looks at Price with a your fault look. The brit is angry with it but is keeeping it together. Kate looks through the papers in a similar bad state as the folder and holds in the mid. "A customer list", she says to herself, seeing some familiar names. Now it makes sence to Nik why they need the folder to disappear. Going trough more papers till she finds a few photos that where made secretly. "Is one of these men Artyorm?", Kate asks him. Nik takes the photos, that are from bad quality, he looks at everyone till his eye stop. "The man with the hood on that is Artyorm", he says, he himself wore this piece of clothing sometimes while sleeping in Artyorms bed. "You know other names?", Kate asks him. So he looks at the other men again. "That one is Jason", he taps on a scrawny man. "Not very Russian name", Price comments, trying to frown but flinching becauseit hurts to much. "After Jason Voorhees", Nik clarifies seeing the two nodding along, they dont get it but well if they ever run into Jason they will. "The one in the green jacket could be Vitaly and I have seen the one in full black a few times but don't know his name, he always leaves when potential new members show up", Nik explains further. Kate notes everything down before asking him a dangerous question. "How hard is it to join?" Nik turns pale shit, what ever answer he gives his in deep shit. "I was ehh acquaintance with Artyorm for 5 months till he took me to a meeting", Nik answers, the shame slowly coming back. Kate notes it down. "How did you meet Artyorm?", Kate asks, having likely a idea how already if she knows he sleep around alot. "In a bar, didn't know he's part of the group then", Nik answers the feeling of disgust spreading again, making his skin crawl. "When did you learn about the group?", Kate asks him with a understanding smile. "The meeting after the 5 months", Nik says, not liking how fast Kate is writing her notes. "I have to go over this with one of my superiors", Kate says before standing up leaving him and John alone in the room.

"They will ask you to go back, this group didn't apear on any intelligence", Price says to him, his face unreadable. Nik goes even pailer by this going back? What should he even say about his delay if they even let him talk at all and not instantly killing him. "The longer I'm here the worse are my chances of survival if I go back", Nik states, feeling nausea from the fear his feeling. He maybe get fucked by the boss like a whore, but that don't means he's not disposable. "Why do you want to join?", Price asks sounding curious and like he cares a tiny bit. "Hate my dad", Nik answers regradefull, god he was so stupid, getting a littel bit of attention, a sense of worth and Artyorm had him on his hook and bed. "I hate my dad too", Price says understanding. Price is the first person his age Nik is intressted since a long time and he don't understands why. What the Brit has that draws him in and well he dont has to figure that out he's practically a dead man walking if, no when, they send him back as a spy. He can only hope he gets a good deal out if thus for risking his life, he knows what happens to suspected traitors of the cause. It was the day he understood how much blood is in a human body.
