I’m sorry for the silence and inactivity my dad is having heart problems and is having surgery this coming weds for a 90 percent blockage in his left artery.

Listen, I know that he could come out of this totally ok, and that is what I hope but it is drudging up a lot of left over grief from when my mom died a few years back and yeah I’ve had mashed potato brain for a few days. I will hopefully get to posting some this weekend, not much going on but the usual life stuff other than the big life stuff. 🙃

Barbossa stilled at the knife at his throat, listening keenly to the words of the woman in his arms. He had been here before. Not with Mina but with the few others he had loved--really loved--in his long years. The moment where the dynamics shifted and Hector's place as an equal partner was lost, leaving him to either seize power or...risk losing it all together.

In the past he had sought to take that power back, desperate and it had perhaps preserved him in some ways but failed him in others. And now the choice was his again. He could defy the woman. He could even threaten or attack her.

But to what end?

The upper hand was clearly no longer his and he had little to bargain with and much to lose. The coldness in her tone...it gave Hector ever reason to believe that blade would find a home in his flesh and he'd be sent back to the cold depths of death if he tested her.

He released her willingly as she stepped from him, taking her seat and commanding him to go check on Turner. Something that made him bristle but he struggled not to show it too openly.

"As you wish." He answered, voice a low gruff mumble.

He excused himself from the cabin without looking back, not wishing her to see any of the turmoil that might accidently be visible on his face then. But once he stepped out onto the open deck into the night breeze, he was the stone faced man he'd always been.

The crew looked at him warily with a mix of emotions on their own faces. Some perhaps, knew already that he had lost a good deal of his power aboard the ship. This was dangerous. But others looked at him in a more accostomed manner. Like they were watching a dangerous animal from a distance.

It made Hector pause a moment, considering himself through their eyes. What was he exactly? He was no longer Jack's faithful first mate, but neither was he the feared cursed Captain of the Black Pearl. He was simply...Barbossa.

But even that name, that title, was not simplistic.

It was Gibbs, of all people, that approached him then. "Ye look lost, sir." He said, and Hector had to admit he was grateful for the small measure of begrudging respect the old man offered him.

"Aye. Lost as I've ever been I suppose." He admitted, and then blinked, surprised at the honest admission. He looked hard at the man as if to warn him not to say anything on the matter and Gibbs obliged.

"Where be the welp?"

Gibbs nodded down deck to where the man in question stood tending to the rigging, clearly restless and aggitated himself. Hector exhaled heavily and made his way towards the man, hating that of all tasks he was looking after Bootstrap's self-righteous whelp of a boy.

❛ how about a kiss goodnight? ❜ (Mina to Hector)

In the low lamp light the Captain halted in his undressing to see her there, emerging from the deeper shadows. He hadn't even heard her enter the cabin over the sound of waves outside and the distraction of his own thoughts.

The stern, worried lines that were so frequently etched into his face softened at her approach, making him look a younger man than he was. Mina had that affect on him he found; restoring some of his wild youth to the salt crusted pirate. Ironically her brother had exactly the opposite effect on him most of the time.

"Just a kiss?" he mused, smile quirking his lips. "I thought ye were still angry with me." he added, knowing damn well Mina never forgave anyone until she was good and ready to. He shrugged off his waistcoat, standing in his tunic and breeches, the rest of his effects already discarded. "What is it swayed ye I wonder?"

[sonofirishseas]

Whatever brief moment the Captain had of enjoyment in seeing the man who had brought so much chaos into their lives being rendered helpless--however temporarily--vanished with his explanation.

The situation was clearly more expansive and considerably more dire than he had initially assessed. As his attention was drawn to the battered state of the captive he found himself feeling a pang of pity for the other. Perhaps even sympathy. And something in him softened, the righteous smugness he felt deflating. There was no honor and not justice in taking pleasure in someone else's suffering.

Rogers nodded, "Alright...give me a minute..." he was casting about the room, seeing control panels and wall units with flickering lights, knobs and switches. But he wasn't Stark, he wasn't going to riddle out their elaborate workings in minutes with what seemed little effort. He moved closer to the controls, scanning them for something that vaguely looked like it might lower the force field around Loki. But nothing seemed clear, and he risked not only alerting more of their enemies or causing harm if he fiddled around blindly.

Setting his jaw, Steve looked up at the man behind the glowing wall. "Stand back." he cautioned. He didn't wait for the other to question or chide him, instead gripping the sides of the control panel and giving it a harsh yank away from the wall.

The loud scraping and groan of metal filled the small space, followed by the sound of cords snapping, and bright, hot sparks of electricity from abruptly severed wiring. There was a groan and the room was doused in dark as the walls around Loki powered down, leaving him in an otherwise open platform.

Overhead, emergency lights in glaring red kicked on, allowing Rogers to move towards the now freed prisoner. "Well, come on then. Let's get out you out of here before..."

The sharp, bone aching shriek of an emergency siren began to wail and Steve sighed. "Dammit..."

Without thinking, he reached to grip onto Loki, pulling him along with him as they made to flee the room before they were effectively locked inside.

@sonofirishseas continued from here:

Rogers stood blinking, hesitating in the otherwise empty holding cell. He gave a tentative glance around, as if he were expecting something to spring out at him because Loki was merely a distraction. But if that was the case than the main threat had missed it's dramatic queue. It seemed to be just the two of them. Steve lowered his shield just a tad as he took in the sight of the god trapped on the other side of the glowing cell wall. It was humming with what the captain guessed was so intensely high voltage of energy. Whether it was to keep Loki in or to keep everything else out he was unsure but it seemed to be doing it's job. "You have to be kidding me." he sighed, more to himself than the man before him. "If this is Fury's idea of a joke..." He moved another step towards the glowing wall between him and the Asgardian. "Let me take a wild guess...you tried to make a deal with HYDRA and it horribly backfired on you?" A small smirk from the blonde. "You know you and Thor both have the same knack for getting yourselves involved in things you shouldn't."

Resentment bubbled through the god's expression, his fists clenching with the desire to deal Rogers a smack if he could only reach him. Probably not the best course of action if there was a chance he might be released.

"Spoken by a member of a species doing exactly that at all times. I am here chasing after technology that belongs back in the hands of my own people, emphatically not with HYDRA. I didn't expect them to have dug up equipment that could hamper my magic. Clearly wherever SHARP stored it, it made its way into HYDRA's hands later down the line. I would appreciate some assistance. They have not been especially hospitable."

The damage to his armour and hints of laser burns seemed to corroborate this claim.

  Remy knew even before James spoke that he was not pleased. The energy he brought with him into the room and that particularly sharp gaze already let the Cajun know that his--albeit innocent flirting--had touched a nerve.

  He gave a sheepish little grin and carefully attempted to extracted himself from the ladies’ company with a quick nod. “Desole, ladies...can’t keep my man waiting.” He excused himself, moving to follow Norrington to give the other man a beat or two to relax. It was rare to see James get his dander up in such a notable fashion, so clearly there was something on the vampire’s mind. Though at this moment Gambit assumed it had little to do with his choice of company.

James relayed that there was something affected the telepathic mutants, and while Remy was about to ask for more details he was caught off guard by the venom and--was it hurt?--in his tone.

Remy lifted his hands, “Easy cher, slow down, what are you--?” But before he could get the full inquiry out, one of the girls was pressing against him again. Much too persistent.

Inwardly Remy cringed. Sometimes this mutation of his more all curse and no gift. Especially at moments like these.

“Would you please--” Before he could shoo the woman away James cried out, jerking his attention back to his partner in shock and concern.

“James?!”

The woman backed off quickly as the Cajun reached for his lover, concern rising like a flood through his core. “Cher what’s wrong?” He couldn’t see anything visibly wrong with the vampire, but there was a strange sensation in the air. Something that was making the hair on the back of his neck rise, goose bumps raise on his skin.

“Ugh, dramatic much?” one of the women asked, rolling her eyes, clearly thinking James was being dramatic just to ruin their good time with the handsome southerner.

being a stevebucky stan (brotp or otp) sucks bc on one hand we have all this canonical evidence both from the comics and the films proving that they’re the most important person in each other lives and they’d die for each other and they’ve been inseparable since they were six years old and their relationship slogan is literally to death do us part…….and then on the other hand endgame exists

[sonofirishseas]

Captain America's entire career is a series of revelations about how misguided his trust in the American institution is and how much they're not on his side.
