Curiosity Cursed the Leppard

(This is a stupid little idea I wrote 2 years ago- one of my first Leppard fics that I actually executed. Normally I try to be as historically accurate as humanly possible, but I’m a teeny bit lazy with this one. I didn’t edit much when it came to proofreading this. I posted this on ao3 and rockfic 2 years ago once it was done, so if you recognize it, thanks for reading it so long ago!)

Words: 3,406 Characters: Phil, Steve, Rick, Sav, Joe, Peter Mensch Setting: March 1983, beginning of the Billy Squier tour Summary: The baby Pyro Leppards are sick of sitting back and doing what they’re told. To spite their dearest band manager, they need to- as Steve once put it- “break up the monotony”. Unfortunately, their curiosity comes with some minor consequences...

------

March 1983, somewhere in Europe

“Look at this over here!” Phil called back into the hotel room from the balcony, “Swimming pool!”

Steve trotted out to the balcony and joined his Terror Twin at the railing. Down in the small yard of the hotel was an in-ground pool with a few lawn chairs and a diving board. It was nothing extravagant, but it was a pleasant sight no less.

“That’d be really nice, if it were a bit hotter out,” Steve leaned on the railing of the balcony. When he spoke, the fog of his breath was visible.

The Leppards were about to begin their tour as the opening act for Billy Squier. They had about a week before any of the shows actually started, though. With all this extra time and no plans, there really seemed to be no telling what they could get themselves into before they had a show. Since it was the first day of their down time, curiosity seemed inevitable.

“It’s still early in the morning, it’ll get warmer,” Phil encouraged, “Don’t know about you, but I’d take the chance!”

Steve hung his head, looking directly down from where they stood, “I think you’ve forgotten what season it is, mate.”

“It won’t make a difference if it’s winter or summer,” Rick appeared in the doorway, joining in on the conversation, “I heard the pool’s heated, anyways. They haven’t turned it on for the day yet.”

Phil’s head popped up and he cooed, “Ooh, even better; we can pop in for a hot swim after our runnin’ around today.”

“Don’t even think about it!” Peter Mensch echoed from the inside, “Heated pool or not, it’s only 34 Fahrenheit outside right now, and you boys can’t risk getting sick! Besides, you probably won’t even have time to swim after all that we’ve gotta do today.”

Sav appeared next to Peter, holding a few of his luggage bags, “Oh, it’s not that much to do; it’s mostly just the dinner with Bill!”

Peter had to object, “Maybe it mostly is the dinner with Bill, but it can still take forever. All I’m saying is, don’t take the chance; we’ve got stuff to do.”

And with that, he exited the one large hotel room the Leppards all had to share.

“All this ‘stuff’ he’s claiming we have to do is just the same old story,” Joe muttered to Sav, also carrying luggage, “He says its ‘super important’ and we’ve ‘got to be there’, but we just end up taggin along with him for the ride and he does all the work.”

“It’s like we’re his pets or something,” Rick flew past the two of them and jumped face-first onto one of the beds.

“Or his children,” Sav commented, “Either way, he thinks he needs leashes on us.”

Phil suddenly called back into the room over his shoulder, “I say we spite him.”

Steve yelled back in the same manner, even though he was answering to Phil right next to him, “Ditto.”

“But how?” Joe inquired to the men on the balcony, putting luggage on the bed right next to Rick, “You two are the experts of spite.”

Phil simply motioned his arm out towards the yard of their hotel with a formal demeanor, “Let’s go for a quick swim; it’s the perfect opportunity!"

Steve nodded in approval of Phil’s proposal, and silence fell between the band for a sudden and brief moment.

“Count me in,” Rick muttered into a pillow, which made it sound more like gibberish. He sat himself up and stared at Joe and Sav, awaiting a response to support the future actions of the rest of the band, “What about you two?”

Sav and Joe looked at each other and shrugged.

“I’m alright with it, ‘long as we do it later,” Joe expressed his agreement as he looked out to the Terror Twins on the balcony, smirking, “Can’t spite him too early in the day.”

“Yeah, I say we do it later when it’s not freezing outside,” Sav suggested, “Spitin’ him doesn’t mean we have to freeze our arses off.”

***

When leaving for their day activities about an hour later, the five band members gazed in awe at the steam coming off of the pool water. As they walked on by, a woman with long dark hair and pale skin was in the pool.

“Ooh, can’t wait for that later,” Phil cooed.

“Can’t wait for what?” Steve asked him while they both stared outside, “The pool, or the girl?”

Phil casually joked, “Ah, I’ll flip a coin.”

“Okay,” Joe whispered to the rest of the band as they fell behind Peter a little more, “After we get back, we hide out in our room and wait until he’s gone.”

Sav added onto their plan, “And hiding time is prep time. We get changed, we check to see if anyone’s around the pool, all that jazz.”

“Sounds like the most exciting thing we’re gonna do all day,” Rick commented as they strode along into their “busy” day, “Don’t know how long I’ll be able to last through all of this useless shit we’ve gotta do.”

“It’ll all be worth it,” Phil assured them, “We’ve just gotta wait... and Lord knows for how long.”

***

They ended up waiting until about 7pm that night before they got back to the hotel. It was strange, because once they did get back, Peter said that he was going to simply leave them for the night. At the time they found out, the Leppards reacted normally, talking about being cooped up with the telly for the night or getting a good drink or two in. They all knew Peter had to run back out and do other manager-type things, but they didn’t know when he was leaving.

While they were waiting for him to leave, they all hastily got changed into swim trunks and fished out towels from the bathroom and kept peeking around to see whether the man of the hour still remained close by.

“I can’t take this anymore,” Phil said at one point, “We’ve been waiting 11 bloody minutes!”

“So?” Steve walked out of the bathroom in swim trunks, “It’s just 11 minutes. We weren’t expecting him to leave right away.”

Phil put on a pair of jeans over his own trunks, threw on a shirt, and made his way to the door of their room, “Well I’m impatient, and it’d be nice to know where this little plan of ours stands at the moment. We gotta look to see if he’s gone yet.”

“Be careful out there, solider,” Joe joked, strolling into the room with a bath towel.

***

Phil slipped out of the room and into the empty hallway silently. He walked towards the end that had Peter’s room, when Peter himself suddenly turned the corner in front of him, making him jump.

“Oh- Peter!” he awkwardly greeted him, “Hello, there!”

“Long time no see,” Peter greeted him back, not taking a second to stop walking. Phil, however, needed that stolen second.

He turned around to look at Peter and tried not to sound rushed when he asked, “Hey- uh, where are you headin’ off to right now?”

“Just to the arena where next week’s first show is,” he began, “Then I’m off to another meeting with Bill’s managers, then I’ve got to meet up with Mutt for a phone call to-”

“Oof,” Phil interrupted hastily as if it were bad news to him, and kept walking along, “That’s a lot, that’s tough. Hope you get it all done, bye!”

He suddenly turned and walked in the opposite direction, waving farewell. It prompted Peter to wave back (confusedly). Once their paths had crossed for good, and Phil turned a corner, he slowly peeked back around the corner to see if his target had completely gone. Once he saw the man in question enter the lift, the guitarist made his way back to the band’s room with a smug grin on his face.

It was go time.

***

“He’s been gone longer than I thought he’d be,” Steve commented as he gazed through the peep-hole of their door after only about three minutes of Phil’s absence. The other three were close by him, awaiting any news from their foot solider.

Joe pitched in, “Maybe he had to hide?”

Rick suggested, “Maybe he got in trouble?”

Sav countered, “And what would he get in trouble for so quickly?”

“Oh, he’s coming!” Steve whispered excitedly as the four of them back away from the door, leaving room for Phil to open it. When he did, he came in quickly, shut it behind him and exchanged a pleased look with the rest of the band.

They all waited in anticipation for a quick moment before Phil announced, “Our plan is a go, lads! He’s gone!”

The other four clapped and cheered briefly before each heading in a different direction to get their towels and shoes.

“What took you so long?” Steve asked him with a laugh, “I thought you were just snoopin’ around, weren’t you?”

“Well,” Phil shrugged, walking over to a bed where his towel lay, “I had to hide for a bit to watch him leave because I accidentally ran into him, and I also asked that lovely girl we saw in the pool earlier to join us...”

The older guitarist exchanged a smirk with the rest of his band, and they all suddenly looked excited. Whenever they hung out with girls, it tended to get wild (and almost certainly meant that one of them would get lucky).

“And?” Rick anxiously inquired, speaking for the whole band.

The smirk left Phil’s face instantly, and his voice dropped to a tone of disappointment, “She said she had to go meet up with friends.”

A collective chorus of “aww”s and “dammit”s subtly filled the room, but they all headed out the door and down to the pool no less. They passed the front desk along the way when-

“Excuse me, gentlemen?” the fairly young American man at the desk called out to them as they walked on by. They stopped in their tracks and faced him, trying to cover up their bare chests with their towels. Their turning around was a good enough answer to the man's question.

“I’m sorry, but we’ve just gotten a report that the heater in the pool has stopped working. We’ll have maintenance around in the morning to fix it,” he informed them. The band all sighed and moaned in defeat. Their one rebellious act on this boring day was cancelled.

“Can’t we still go in?” Steve asked him, resulting in a slap on the arm from Sav.

“It’s freezing out, and you wanna go swimming in an unheated pool?”

Steve shrugged, trying to prove a point, “Well if it hasn’t been broken long, the pool’s probably still heated a bit, right?”

“If you all wanna go in, you’re more than welcome,” the man at the desk offered, “But I wouldn’t recommend it.”

“Right, thank you, sir,” Phil smiled, turning with the rest of the band towards the exit to the outdoor patio where the pool was. They didn't care about temperature at this point; they had a goal. Right about now Joe would normally be the one to turn them onto the right path, but he knew that they all had their minds set on the same path. He knew they weren’t just gonna stop.

“We’re all mad, we really are,” he mused excitedly to them, “Old man Peter’s gonna have our heads if he finds us right now.”

Rick tied his towel around his neck like a cape and laughed, “If he finds us, but we know he won’t!”

They all giggled like children as they walked outside to patio where the illuminated in ground pool resided, their breaths now visible. The freezing air of the evening enveloped them immediately, causing them to pull their towels around them tighter. After a moment, though, they all tossed their towels onto the chairs nearby, embracing the brisk temperature.

“Little chilly,” Sav stated as they kept walking towards the pool. When they got there, Steve kicked off his shoes and dipped his toes in right away.

“Little heated,” Steve said back as he felt the water with his foot.

“Little jump!” Phil threw his towel behind him and suddenly jumped into the pool, splashing the others in the process. They all gasped and started laughing at the guitarist’s perfect entry.

Rick pointed at the water where Phil was, “Okay, he’s mad!”

Phil came back up, wiped his eyes and told them, “It’s actually quite nice! Just come right in!”

“Well someone’s gotta go first!” Joe proclaimed, “And it’s not gonna be me!”

A quick pause between the remaining four ensued. It was broken when Sav suddenly yelled for a split second and fell forward into the pool. Joe, Phil, and Rick all turned and looked at Steve, who had just been standing behind Sav (and was now giggling).

“Oops,” he sarcastically snickered before jumping in after Sav and swimming as far away from the bassist as possible. Rick and Joe both broke down in laughs and wheezes, along with Phil in the pool.

Sav resurfaced with a curtain of wet hair over his eyes and called out to no one in particular, “Where the fuck is he?! Steve!”

“Over here!” Steve playfully called out from the middle of the pool, far away from where Sav currently was. Sav scooped his hair out of his face, located Steve a few yards away, and dove after him.

"Okay, okay, who's next? Me or you?" Joe said to the drummer.

"Actually," Rick proposed immediately after the inquiry, "I've got an idea for both of us."

***

“Okay, ready?” Rick asked Joe, who was standing on the side of the pool opposite himself.

“Ready,” came the response.

“One...” Rick counted.

“Two...” Joe continued.

“Three!” they both shouted as they began to run. Once they both reached the edge of the pool, they jumped simultaneously and just as clumsily as one another. For the second that they were both in the air, they managed to high five each other perfectly with a quick scream before plummeting into the slightly heated water. The three other band members that were already in the water applauded them at their success with enthusiastic claps and laughs. When Rick and Joe resurfaced, they were immensely pleased with their accomplishment, celebrating it with a proper high five. And thus, the private (but still forbidden) pool party had begun.

The next two hours housed a wide variety of spontaneous activities. These happenings ranged from cannonball competitions, to genuine conversation, and to reenactments of live shows (but played underwater, of course). The band’s wading in the water went unnoticed by the hotel staff the whole time it commenced, just as the cold temperature outside went unnoticed by the band themselves. Once the pre-provided heat had worn off into nothing but steam, the band's energy began to wind down slowly as well.

"Man," Phil remarked at one point when they were all still swimming, "Who knew that swimmin' for a bit could make your throat hurt."

"We've all been yelling too much, you know what that does to your voice," Joe told him knowingly (after all, he was the singer), “You know what happens when your energy gets up.”

“I feel like we’ve just played a show,” the drummer pulled himself up onto the edge of the pool and stretched both of him arms, feeling how sore they now were.

Sav, on the other hand, kept his shoulders underwater in order to provide some protection from the bite in the air. His hair was also acting like a scarf to the back of his neck to retain some of his body heat.

His jaw chattered when he spoke, “Is-sn’t anyone g-gonna mention how cold it is n-now?”

“He’s r-right,” Steve supported Sav, floating right next to him in the exact same manner, “It’s gotten a l-lot colder...”

“Guess it’s time we all called it a night, then,” Joe pulled himself out of the pool and quickly wrapped himself in a towel, now visibly shivering as well. The four other men followed his lead as the water on the ends of their hair slowly began to chill to a freezing temperature. In a few minutes, they were all heading back to their room, smushed together in the hopes of heating up even a little bit.

"Can't wait to get me some nice, hot tea," Rick rubbed his towel back and forth around him, "Now my throat's killin' me."

“Blimey, can you believe how cold it is in here?” Phil asked his friends once they were back inside the hotel (even though the heaters were most certainly running). They all nodded and murmured in collective agreement at the remark.

The man at the front desk had heard this interaction, and sighed as he continued to fan himself with a folder, sweating in the excessive heat of the hotel.

***

“You guys are all idiots, you know,” Peter stated bluntly to the band members the next morning.

They were all grumpily moaning in front of him on the beds and couch, far from being ready for any sort of activity. They were also all as sick as dogs; each of them running a fever, each of them huddled up under several blankets, and each of their noses acting all kinds of crazy.

“I can’t believe you guys would go swimming in an unheated pool when it’s 39 fucking degrees outside, and think that you wouldn’t get sick- especially when you know we’re at the beginning of a tour!”

“Hey now, Peter,“ Joe croaked sassily from under the covers, his beloved voice now destroyed, “We’ve still got a whole week before any shows.”

“Besides,” Phil added nasily, “Aren’t you happy we’re learning our lesson?”

“You got me there,” the manager pointed at him, “I shouldn’t be surprised; I don’t know why I am, but lucky for you dumbasses, you just got yourselves out of today’s activities.”

Soft sighs of “yes” swept over the hotel room as Peter covered his eyes with his hand in disappointment.

“No, not yes!” he couldn’t help but chuckle with a hint of anger, “You're still very sick! Now you boys have to get better, and fast! The fact that you’re sick doesn’t take away the fact that we’re on tour!”

“We’ll try to get better soon, we promise,” Sav whined before sneezing loudly, then holding his head in discomfort, "Ughh... I hope so..."

“We’re real sorry, Peter,” Steve pouted and made a fake but sleepy apology, “But we’re actually gonna need you to get some medicine for us, if it’s not too much trouble.”

The manager sighed at the innocent request and gave in, “Yeah, yeah, I can do that. Maybe it’s actually a good thing you’re all sick; now you don’t wanna run off into trouble.”

Sav mumbled to Joe next to him, “Told you he wants to put us on leashes.”

Peter spoke up, “What was that?”

“Nothing!”

“And for god’s sake, guys,” the oldest man in the room began to make his way over to the heater, “Would it kill you turn down the heat in here?”

“Yes, it would kill us!!” came five disgruntled objections, making the manager freeze in his current action and back away from the heater with both of his hands up in surrender.

“Alright, alright, I guess I’ll see you guys in a few. Is there anything else you want me to get?”

“Tea,” was all Rick needed to say.

“Gotcha,” Peter confirmed with the young drummer before quitting the Leppards’ room. A bit of quietness took place right afterwards, just to make sure that Old Man Peter didn’t come running back in to see if they were faking the band-wide illness.

“So what do you think?” Joe asked his four other friends, “Worth it?”

There was another brief silence before Phil answered, “Yeah. Definitely worth it.”

“Same here.”

“Agreed.”

“It was delightful.”

Low, evil, chuckles made their way around the room and faded away. The band members then laid in silence and stared up at the ceiling, now uncertain of what to do next in their unexpected down time.

“So...” Phil proposed to them, “First one to break their fever wins?”

Steve immediately turned his head to answer for the entire band, "You’re on.”

Top 10 father/son fantasies

Recently, an anon wondered if I have ever had thoughts of a father and son combination and offer one to me. Because of that I decide to make this list.

My parameters here. I had to be attracted both father and child when both were still alive. So no combos like Dan Blocker and his son Dirk Blocker.

Mmm... on of my favs though.

#10. Lou Holtz & Son Skip Holtz

I've been fantasying about Lou Holtz since I saw him on the sidelines at Notre Dame. I first spotted Skip when he was coaching under his father at South Carolina from 1999-2004, but it wasn't until he was at Louisiana Tech that the father/son fantasies started happening.

#9. Paul Sorvino & Mia Sorvino

I known it's his daughter, but I'm BI and I wanted to dick these two down for years now. So of course I'd imagine doing them together.

#8. Bum Phillips & Wade Phillips

I enjoyed Wade Phillips on the sidelines over the years. And when the announcers would talk about his his father Bum Phillips, I had to look him up. The Cowboy look is one many things that do it for me and Bum definitely had the look down pat. And the Bum and Wade fantasies began.

On a Side Note: Check out Wade’s tits.

#7. George H. Bush & Sons

I just like dreaming of George, GW and Jeb having their way with me. Individually, together and in combinations.

#6. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Queen Elizabeth II and Children

Even though I have Queen Elizabeth and Princess Anne in this one, I also have his sons too. So it counts. Basically, the fantasy takes aspects of Cinderella and Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I'm at a royal ball and while there, I happened to fuck Prince Charles, Princess Anne (still BI), Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. Apparently, the next day, all of them announced they’re leaving there respective partners for one of them to marry me. So Queen Elizabeth II ordered me to the palace and after I gave her and her husband a taste of THE DICK. What? She's the queen. Anyway, I fuck her children again, some multiple times until I settle on one. Usual, Andrew or Charles.

#5. Ed Asner & son, Matt

It's only recently that this father/son tag team fantasy has manifested in my mind.

#4. Buddy Ryan & Sons, Rex & Rob

I'd like to imagine Buddy in my mouth, Rob on my cock with Rex sucking my toes and jerking off on my feet.

What? It's well documented that Rex has a foot fetish.

#3. Spike Dykes & Sons

Spike Dykes, Sonny Dykes and Rick Dykes. At first this was a 3-some, but in making this list, I found Spike's other son, Rick. And now it's a 4-some.

On a Side Note: Mmm... Sonny tit.

#2. Albert II of Belgium & Sons

King Philippe, Prince Laurent and I, going at it while former King Albert watch in a corner. Preferable in a nice, dark suit. Eventually, he'll be in me after his boys have their fun.

#1 Bobby Bowden & Sons

This is what I'd like to call 'the real' Bowden Bowl. Bobby Bowden, oldest son Steve Bowden (not picture), second oldest Tommy Bowden, Jeff Bowden and last but not least Terry Bowden, my favorite. All locked in a hotel room with me for a weekend. Yeah... that's the fantasy.

the swan - chp.9 twisted

nurse, friend, lover, assassin. these are the titles you were known under in his head, something he never wished to share until rumours spread of the swan being out of retirement.

overview / chapter one / chapter two / chapter three / chapter four / chapter five / chapter six / chapter seven / chapter eight / chapter nine / chapter ten / chapter eleven / chapter twelve (final chapter)

* masterlist of sorts *

As Bucky walks through the compound your pleading voice echoes in his mind, the fear in your eyes as you focused on the camera as if you could see him. He could sense that threat, the horror that could happen if you step one toe out of line. Bucky knows it all to well, having lived it alongside you and dealt with the consequences countless times, but nothing quite like yours.

Steve follows silently behind Bucky, seeing his shoulders tense tightly along with the metal plates of his arm whirring together. “Bucky, you gotta keep calm.” Steve tells Bucky, but he refuses to listen.

All Bucky can think about is getting Rick, the sick lab rat who got power hungry. With each step Bucky can see him, the greasy man who witnessed you fall apart in Bucky’s arms. He can hear that laugh, the awful sound that sends a chill through his spine. Yet all he wants to do is snap him, have the last laugh.

“Bucky.” Steve states sternly as the pair reach the front door.

Standing still, Bucky lifts his head up and turns around to face his friend. “What Steve?” Bucky asks, exhaustion controlling his voice as pain lies heavily in his blue eyes. “What do you want me to say?” He raises his arms as he waits for his oldest friend to respond, but no words follow. “Thought as such.” He mutters under his breath before pushing the front door open, not expecting it to be held open.

“I told you, Buck.” Steve comments as he walks alongside him toward one of the cars. “I’m with you til the end of the line, even if it’s doing something stupid.” A small smile cracks on the Captain’s face as he thinks back to the pair of them as children, so naive to the world they’d grow up in.

“I can’t do this alone, Steve.” Bucky quietly admits as they stand on either side of the small red car. “Rick, the man controlling her, controlling Y/n,” Your name is one he still struggles to form after all this time. Before he could talk about you in passing, but now knowing you’re alive it feels wrong. You’re not who you were, but neither is Bucky.

“It’s okay, Buck.” Steve tells his friend as he opens the car door and slides into the driver's seat.

Bucky follows behind him, shutting the doors as the engine turns on. “Where to?”

Staring straight ahead, Bucky tries to wrack his brain for anything, any kind of clue. “Try central park.” He tells Steve as the car begins to move. “He talked about it in there,” Bucky mutters to himself. “how he dreamed of having that freedom. Ironic, huh?”

Sitting with your back leaning against the bed, you let out a soft sigh. Everything you dreamt about, tossed and turned during long nights and screamed about was happening. Bucky was back, your Bucky was alive but not as safe as you want him to be.

You saw him sometimes when you were having hallucinations. A decade ago, Rick starved you in a chamber beneath Belgium. You were beginning to lose consciousness, slipping in and out of living when he appeared. Bucky sat down beside you, held you close and told you it’ll be okay. He helped you through your loneliest moments, even if it was all in your head.

It wasn’t in your head anymore, he wasn’t a figment of your imagination. He was here, he is alive and you’re unsure if it’s a good thing or bad. “How you feeling?” Tony walks in, sitting down in front of you as he remains on the other side of the glass wall.

“I’m doing swell, Tony.” You sarcastically mutter as you sit upright on the bed, wincing silently. “Has Bucky gone?” Your immediate thought, the one thing you need to be sure of.

Tony nods to you, and you feel your shoulders easing as they sink. “He and Steve left a few hours ago, gone to find Rick.” Tony tells you slowly, hoping it won’t respond in an outburst. He knows that there is only so much the glass wall can take, and the outrage of a super serum charged person isn’t something it’s designed to take.

“What?” You ask coldly as you begin to shake, fear bubbling under the surface of your skin as you feel the device behind your ear burning. “I, they, they can’t.” You plead with Tony. “He, he’ll kill them.”

With all your might you rise to your feet, seeing black spots in your vision as you weakly step forward. It’s just like all those nights in your small office. The times you were beaten close to death, but you wanted to see the damage. Countless times you dragged your body across the room to the small mirror, you listened to the cracks and breaks of your bones becoming worse but you needed to see it. You needed to see what they were doing to you.

Slowly, Tony stands up and moves closer to the glass. He watches as you fall to the ground with a thud. “Stop moving, Y/n.” He tells you, but you ignore him.

You outstretch your hands, digging your nails into the floor as you slide your legs underneath you. With a muffled scream you stand up, leaning against the glass with wide eyes. “He’ll destroy them, Tony. And you’ll have no hope of stopping me.” You tell him bluntly, but his expression doesn’t shift.

Stepping away, Tony returns to his chair. “Why is this Rick making you do all this, what are you getting in return?” Tony questions, his eyes not leaving you as you stumble back and fall on your tailbone.

Sitting upright, you rest your hands in your lap. “Rick was the lab rat, the scum HYDRA tested.” You close your eyes, remembering what Rick had told you. “He wanted justice, justice for what every single person in HYDRA did. Anyone who was there, anyone who was associated needed to be brought down, tortured like he was.”

Tony remains silent as a cold chill spreads through his body as you explain everything with no emotion. You’re simply repeating his words, an echo of who Rick is.

“But why you?” Tony asks again, wanting the answers desperately as the clock by the camera ticks on. “What is it about you that he needs?”

You lift your head up, locking your gaze with his. “Because I’m their most elite assassin, their prized creation.” You scoff lightly. “And, and they stole everything from me, I, I lost my memories because of HYDRA.” Your voice softens, but you fight back the tears that form behind your eyes. “I don’t remember anything before HYDRA, an entire part of my life is gone. Rick he, he told me if I do this and complete my mission, he will help me get my memories.”

“And you believed him?” Tony asks you bluntly.

“What choice did I have?” Your voice begins to crack. “I knew nothing else. Anything I had was taken, wiped clean. All I know is Y/n when she isn’t the Swan. The version of me who isn’t ruthless, who wishes she knew how she can patch herself up with ease and wants to know who her family were.” The tears flow freely down your face as Tony rises to his feet. “I just want to be free, Tony Stark.” You tell him as you place your hand on the glass.

Sitting in front of you, Tony rests his hand on the other side of the glass, mirroring yours. “We’ll make sure you’re free, Y/n.” Tony reassures you. “It’s a promise.”

Walking into Central Park, Bucky’s eyes scan the grounds visible to him. He keeps his fists clenched tightly as anger pumps through his veins. “You go that way,” Bucky tells Steve, but Steve shakes his head.

“I’m not leaving your side, Bucky.” Steve sternly states. “Who knows what you’ll do if you’re left alone with the guy.”

“I think you’ve got a solid idea what I’d do.” Bucky mutters under his breath as they begin to walk through the park, past families and couples all happy, those completely oblivious as to the evil that lurks.

The pair walk further into the park, heading toward the neck of the pond. “You sure he’d be here?” Steve questions once again, only to receive a cold glance from Bucky as he silently walks on.

Reaching the bridge, Bucky looks down to the rocks that lie beside the pond. Amongst the ripples in the water from the ducks that glide by, a shadow of a figure appears. “There.” Bucky nudges Steve, motioning discreetly to the spot.

Cautiously, the soldiers climb down without drawing too much attention. They walk beneath the bridge where a pile of rocks rises. “Wondered when we’d meet again, Barnes.” His voice echoes with a sense of humour as he licks his lips, forming a wide grin.

“You son of a bitch.” Bucky mutters as Rick rises from his feet out of the shadows. His dark black hair still slicked down one side of his face exposing new scars Bucky hadn’t seen, but the one he remembered still visible from his hairline past his neck.

Steve kept his eyes fixated on the man as he took a step forward, clapping his hands. “Good to see you too, soldier.” Rick holds his hand out, but Bucky keeps his fists clenched. “Cold greeting, fair enough.” Rick retracts his hand before sitting back down. “Honestly, I expected to be beaten to a bloody pulp by now.” He half laughs.

“I’m not doing anything until you tell us how to stop it.” Bucky states, stepping forward.

Rick raises an eyebrow. “Oh, you mean, how to stop the Swan?” Rick asks innocently whilst his twisted smile remains etched on his face. “That’s easy, boys.”

Bucky takes another step forward. “Well,”

“You can’t.” Rick begins to laugh loudly, beginning to go into a state of hysterics.

Bucky lunges forward, slamming Rick down on the rocks with force as he grunts, but his laughter still sounds. “Tell me!” Bucky yells in his face. “Tell me how to stop it, you tell me you lab rat!”

Rick’s laughter dies down. “Well, there is one way. But I don’t think you’re going to like it.” Rick explains, and Bucky slowly eases his grip. “In order for Y/n to stop being the Swan, she has to complete her mission in order to receive her reward.”

“And what’s that? When does she stop?” Steve questions, stepping forward alongside Bucky.

“She has to complete her last mission, to kill the only living member of HYDRA.” Rick states bluntly, simply motioning to Bucky. “Only then will she be free, and I can live out the rest of my life knowing justice has been served.”

“You think this is justice? Having her kill everyone.” Bucky asks as anger rises in his tone. “You think she can live on after doing this, live a normal life?!”

Rick shakes his head. “Well of course not, Barnes.” He scoffs. “I told her she’ll get her memories back of everything before HYDRA. That’s the only reason she’s doing this.” Rick explains as he spits blood onto the rocks. “But I’m in control of her. And once she kills you, I’ll just make her kill herself.”

“Serve full justice.” Steve mutters and Rick claps to himself.

“Finally, someone who gets it!” He excitedly states.

“After all this time, you’ve just lied to her to get what you want?” Bucky mutters softly, pain wrapping itself around his heart, slowly cutting into it.

Shrugging his shoulders, Rick places his hands in his pockets. “How else was I supposed to get this far?” He questions to the two men. “Besides, all I have to do is flick the switch and she’ll become the Swan, just like that.” Rick clicks his fingers and laughs lightly.

Bucky cannot control it. The sound of Steve’s yells to stop are drowned out as Bucky holds Rick down against the rocks. He punches him, slams his head against the rocks until he sees blood pouring. Yet all the time as the cuts emerge, the life drains out of his body, Rick keeps a smile on his face.

“You, you didn’t think I expected this?” Rick coughs. “I always have a backup plan.”

Fear fills Bucky’s eyes as he glances down to see Rick weakly holding a remote, pressing a button before letting it slide down into the pond.

“What did you do?” Bucky yells into his face. “WHAT DID YOU DO?!”

Rick forces a laugh as he remains breathless, wheezing now. “Set her to do kill herself. By ending herself, she, she’ll end you.”

“No, no.” Bucky stutters, looking back at Steve as tears fill his eyes.

“She’ll be dead in ten minutes.” Rick states.

Bucky turns back to face Rick and lifts him up one final time. “I won’t let that happen.” He slams his head down against the rock with all his force and listens to the crack.

Rising to his feet, Bucky wipes the blood from his face and begins to walk away. “Do what you have to, I can’t lose her.”

Post-PyeongChang Timeline #03

Carried over from the original creator and curator, @balletfever89. Links to her original Post-Sochi timeline and her Post-Comeback timeline, as well as the original version of this timeline, Post-PyeongChang. Some of the dates may be slightly off, as I’m looking backwards at blogs instead of keeping up as things happen.
