'Rescuing; no matter what-.'

@thunder-tober Day prompt: 11 - Rain Characters: Gordon Tracy, Thunderbird Four, Virgil Tracy, OC Word count: 540

Writing with covid-brain is not recommended x’D but if I have to suffer, Gordon gets to suffer too lol- A little wet weather never bothered anyone, right? Unless you want to end up catching pneumonia..

💙💛TB ~~~ TB ~~~ TB ~~~ TB ~~~ TB ~~~ TB ~~~ TB ~~~ TB 💛💙

“Gordon, this was a bad idea. We should get you home.”

“Mnn… I’ll be fine, Thunderbird Four…”

Any other circumstance, he would be. But even the Thunderbird was smart enough to know what happened to sick humans that stayed out in the rain too long… The sub quietly overlooked his vitals, noticing his shivers and fluctuating temperature. But the aquanaut continued to insist he was fine.

“Captain, I know how stubborn this family can be. I will call your brothers.”

At that, Gordon did pause; hands slipping from the rope he’d just tied into a knot. He pressed one hand to his forehead and sighed; she was right though. And Virgil was only a couple of minutes away – he could be back there in no time.

“Just-… I got this, Four,” Gordon insisted, hands finding the rope again as he hauled it over his shoulder. Thunderbird Four exhaled a gush of air through her vents, picking at the rope between her fingers.

“Okay… but if this rain gets any heavier, and we’re not done, I’m taking over,” she rumbled softly, watching her pilot carefully shimmy down the sloped surface beside her. She couldn’t hear the climber calling out to them anymore, but had faith the aquanaut could find them. If his sickness got the better of him, then they’d be in trouble…

::How’s it going, Thunderbird Four?::

“Gordon’s just gone to retrieve Rennels. The area’s pretty slippery over here so, I’m keeping an eye out, but they should be up soon,” the sub relayed to the cargo ship’s pilot, optics darting back briefly to watch her own. “… Virgil, did you know he wasn’t feeling well?”

A sigh. ::I did, but you know Gordon. A little cold isn’t going to stop him. He’s going to pay for it later though, especially in this downpour.::

“He’ll ask me to be his entertainment then, I’m sure,” Thunderbird Four giggled softly. She wouldn’t mind as long as it kept her pilot out of trouble while he was resting.

She quietened briefly at the footsteps coming back up the side of the slope; Gordon leading as he and the climber, Daisy Rennels, hauled themselves back up. Both were drenched, but uninjured. The Thunderbird happily provided them shelter while they got situated, but her gaze was mainly trained on her pilot. He was still shivering.

“T-Thunderbird Two? You can come get us now,” Gordon called to his brother, collecting up the remainder of rope and circling it around his hand. A sneeze snuck up on him, and he ended up dropping it to the ground instead.

“Seems I’m not the only one who’s going to need to rest up after today, Mr Tracy,” Daisy teased lightly, grabbing the rope for him. Gordon made a soft noise of defeat; his Thunderbird then beating him to responding.

“He should be glad he’s not a whole lot worse off from this weather!”

The aquanaut groaned, brightening up the slightest when Thunderbird Two appeared, and landed nearby to pick them up.

“Let’s just go homeee…”

“FAB Captain,” Four giggled, getting to her feet and following after them as they headed to the cargo ship. “Promise Virgil won’t be too hard on you.”

“Nhg, it’s not him I’m worried about…”

Hello friend! I've just finished watching all of doom patrol and really loved it. I want to give the comics a shot but don't know where to start, can you recommend a good run to start from? Or is the answer to read all of them lol. (Also my favourite character is Larry if that makes a difference)

A lot of people start with the most recent run! The 2016 doom patrol is kind of more of a sequel to Morrison’s doom patrol than the 2009 comics, and since a lot of the show is based on Morrison you’d probably like that! Rita isn’t in morrison’s run, though, and in 2016 she only comes in til the Milk Wars tie in which is… weird. We all have to live with the fact that dc made an alternate universe centered around milk. I think 2009 is a good comic, though it might be a strange place to start because it does reference a fair amount of the older comics, like the end of silver age, and new doom patrol, but if you want a more “down to earth” (they fight alternate reality versions of themselves, this is relative), i’d read that one too! I’m not sure where you’d want to go from there, so here’s my review of all the doom patrol comics based on how much larry is in them

Silver age: Larry is just a nice young man who wants to live with his mom and only became a hero through happenstance. Literally cannot go a second without fighting with cliff but that’s how friendship is sometimes. I love him. He accidentally helped a super villain make evil cookies. If you don’t want to read all of the comics and just want a shorter version of what the comics like, just read My Greatest Adventure (1955) Issues 80-85

New Doom Patrol: Larry wakes up from a coma and immediately decides that he hates his replacement. He’s like super depressed and just kind of mopes around until like, the last couple issues but then he immediately needs to go to the hospital because he hurts himself. He doesn’t really do a lot, is what I’m saying. Basically all you need to know is that he and negative woman are teammates but they’re also sworn enemies. This is part of the same run as Morrison, but most people skip it but if you do want to read it it’s Doom Patrol (1987) issues 1-18

Morrison: It’s everyone’s favorite run but there’s no larry so that’s at LEAST minus 100 points. There IS Rebis tho, who has Larry’s body merged w the body of a woman named eleanor, so xe’s just a cool intersex bigender person who knows xe’s Better Than You. Everyone calls hir larry tho (except jane) so minus another 100 points for misgendering and another 50 for that one weird comment about hir being mixed race (eleanor is black). If Morrison hired a sensitivity reader, I think Rebis could have been really good. I love hir as a character but xe deserved a better writer. This is the comic that introduces Jane and Danny, the Decreator, Mr. Nobody, Dorothy and Flex so like. It does have non larry related good points. Personally I found the brotherhood of dada very cool but you do have to see Larry have sex in a mindscape with Eleanor so like. Mixed bag, you know? This is Doom Patrol (1987) issues 19-63

Pollack: There’s no Larry but there are the bandage people, who live in a house with sex ghosts. The Chief is a living severed head, Cliff and Dorothy get the character arcs they deserve and we meet Coagula, aka the best super hero in the entirety of dc comics. She’s a trans woman who developed the power to dissolve and manipulate molecure structure after having sex with Rebis. Yeah. There’s a lot of sex here. It’s also pretty witchy. Cliff and Dorothy meet forest gods. It’s a short run and even if you don’t read Morrison you should read it and it’s Doom Patrol 1987 issues 64-87.

2001: there’s only one issue of this that matters and surprisingly, it’s the only one with larry and rita in it. The issue is called “Sell Out” (Issue 20) and it’s literally just… people trying to write an episode of a doom patrol tv show. Issue 13 was fun too because cliff got trapped in the past with his new team in the bodies of his old team but on the whole this is just. kind of boring. if you really want to see cliff be a mentor for a bunch of new heroes, you can just read new doom patrol

2004: good news! larry is back. Bad news: what he’s wearing. Please google it so you can laugh at him with me. Also I will never forgive this comic for including rita/cliff and the fact that they made it uber creepy by making rita a kid when cliff ended his career and also that weird pedophile apologism they stacked onto that. also the racism. Nudge is good tho, we love Nudge and her gorilla bff

2009: Since Jane comes in later on, this basically has the same basic team structure as the show, only with bumble bee instead of cyborg. Larry is very deadpool-ish but he’s valid. I keep on making posts about giffen larry and that’s because he has exactly the personality you’d expect for someone who’s lost their body several times over. According to this run, Larry and the Negative Spirit are intertwined, which means that as long as the spirit doesn’t die, larry can’t either. he just needs a body to inhabit. I also really love this take on Rita. She punches a vampire. She’s also just super angry and you know what? She deserves it. Other good points: danny the bungalow, danny getting tossed around as a brick

2016: Larry has to get like, rebonded with the negative spirit, who now has a name (Keeg). Keeg decides what Larry needs to cope with the whole splintering of his personality is a nap so he spends this entire run falling asleep on people. I really like this larry! at one point he just makes cliff go to the mall with him because he wants a smoothie but it’s also very weird and cool. Mr Nobody gets a daughter! Danny gets a daughter! A cat turns into an anthro! if you read this you should also read the milk wars tie in. one of them is called doom patrol/JLA special and the other is called JLA/Doom Patrol. I don’t remember which comes first
