Whumptober Day 2: Trust Issues (ME:A Reyes/Ryder)

Spoilers for High Noon

"You look like you're waiting for someone."

The familiar words made Annabel Ryder freeze in her tracks. Light feet landed on the gravel of the cave floor and she didn't want to believe the sight of Reyes Vidal in front of her.

Quickly putting two and two together, Anna felt her chest tighten with...something. Through the roar of blood in her ears, she heard Sloane prattling on about how the second rate smuggler needed to leave, to let the adults in the room tend to the business at hand.

"That's why he's here." she interrupted sharply, her voice oddly cold-not betraying the mixture of emotions running through her mind.

"Correct as always Pathfinder." Reyes shot Anna his trademark wink, only realizing too late that she was staring daggers at him with her eyes. Pulling his attention back to Sloane, he was already wondering if he had chosen wrong; that Ryder wouldn't have his back during the showdown.

"Shall we get on with it then? Last one standing takes control of the port." Reyes started to slowly circle Sloane, giving his sniper a good view of her.

Ryder, there is a sniper trained on Sloane Kelly. I recommend intervening.

Anna flicked her gaze upwards at SAM's comment, but didn't move. Then the sniper rifle sounded and Sloane died almost instantly from the radioactive round.

Reyes glanced at Ryder while taking a hesitant step towards her, hoping that she'd let him explain himself before she fully made up her mind.

"Stay where you are Vidal." Anna said stiffly, not looking at Reyes while her hand automatically moved to her hip where her pistol was but it closed on air. She’d forgotten that part of the deal with Sloane was no weapons in the cave. "Or I'll shoot you in the chest."

"Anna-"

"Pathfinder. Or Ryder." There was a beat of silence before Anna continued, "You want to remove the knife from my back or are you going to kill me as well? A ‘no witnesses’ kind of thing."

"Ann-Ryder. Let me explain. I wanted to-"

"No." Anna yelled, cutting Reyes off. "I trusted you. I told you about Scott, about what my dad did, what I've been through since coming here." She let out a laugh that was laced with tears before continuing, "You were so helpful in solving the murders in the port, and I convinced myself it was because you were with the Resistance and you actually wanted to improve the port. But no, it was all just a game to get me on your side wasn't it."

Anna took a shaky breath, the tears blurring her vision and it took a moment for her to feel confident enough to continue. "Tell me I was wrong, that you didn't seduce me because you wanted the Pathfinder on your side when the showdown with Kelley happened."

Another beat of silence filled the cavern and Anna wanted to yell, scream, beg Reyes to answer her.

"Tell me I was wrong, Reyes."

Sneak peek: TK Gets An Unexpected Visit For His Birthday. (X)

[vaguely-concerned]

having seen at least the rough outlines of all the romances now I have to say that I think emmrich's is probably objectively the best in terms of coherence and completeness of story arc (with the understanding that ultimately the 'best' romance is whichever one makes YOUR heart sing anyway so objectivity is a silly thing to claim that way, it just felt like it's the arc with the most well-paced focused content and the least dangling threads)... but lucanis' is my favourite haha. just. the whole kneeling before your beloved full of reverence but without any of the distance that usually implies??? his complete undramatic certainty and calm in every scene with rook after this, having spent the whole game caught between fear and longing???? mr. lives in a pantry but it says nothing about my psyche don't worry about it it's purely for tactical reasons that I keep myself contained in a small dark room not entirely unlike a cell, love among the parsnips -- finally coming to rook in their room and it's so comfortable and comforting???? after all the times rook supports and comforts him through the game he's finally able to return the same to them when they need it while being so calm and steady and it's so fucking sweet and feels so effortless and with no price attached?????? he basically assigns himself the role of your bodyguard and he WILL stab a god over it??????????????? the turn to protector (which was in his heart all along longing to get out and find a place) of it all????? he sounds like he's found himself unexpectedly stumbling into such a soul-lightening state of revelatory existential relief, full on 'you only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves' mary oliver style, and he goes and he shares that with rook and protectively envelops them in it when they're hurting??????????????????????????? hello for the maker's sake hello can anyone hear me?????

Whumptober Day 9: Obsession (ME:A, Reyes/Ryder)

Some would say that Reyes was obsessed with the Pathfinder.

He would reply that he saw the strategic advantage in making the Pathfinder an ally in the fight for control of Kadara Port.

He'd made the decision in trying to get the Pathfinder long before he realized that it was Alec Ryder's daughter in the position, but once he learned that fact it changed his plans. Instead of highlighting the alliance with the Resistance, he'd play the rogue and helpful hand in solving some of the many problems the port presented.

"A little game of cat and mouse never hurt anyone." he thought while taking a sip of the glass of whiskey in his hands. His omni-tool buzzed as he set the glass on the table in front of him and he opened it to see a message from his spy in the loading bay.

Tempest just landed.

Letting a half-smle appear, Reyes opened the feed to the bay in time to see Ryder and some of her crew disembarking.

He'd be the first to admit that Ryder was attractive, but at same time knew that he needed to keep his distance so he didn't lose focus of his goal to wrestle control of the port from Sloane Kelly.

"Which is why I need to endear the Pathfinder to me. Luckily that can be easily arraigned." he thought as Ryder waved to her crew and peeled off from them.

He continued to watch as she headed towards the elevator that led to the slums of the port, switching feeds in time to see her exiting onto the acidic pool covered ground. "Any minute now." he murmured out loud, absently reaching for the glass and finishing it in a smooth motion.

Setting the now empty glass back down, he continued to watch as she made her way towards the collection of pre-fab buildings that defined Tartarus and the few barely legal business's that Kelly allowed to exist down here (for a price of course). Movement from the top of the screen caught Reyes's attention and he straightened as a small gang of humans sauntered to where the Pathfinder was.

He'd chosen the number carefully, too few and she could easily take them out while too many and she'd be seriously hurt. Reyes didn't want that, just the right amount of pressure and then he'd appear with a quip and a right hook.

"It also helps that they've been promised good positions within the Collective once we win the port." Reyes watched as the gang surrounded Ryder slowly, giving her room to move but still making it so she couldn't escape easily. She put a hand on her hip, above where her pistol was but didn't draw it; probably making a quippy remark that she was known to do when she felt threatened.

Good. That meant she was going to make it an equal fight.

"Not that I hadn't planned for her pulling her gun."

Reyes stood as one of the leaders threw the first punch and Ryder ducked, twisting as she moved so she could throw an elbow- catching his chin as he went by. The rest followed and Ryder held them off for a few more minutes than he had thought, which only made Reyes's admiration for the Pathfinder grow that much more; she was handy in a fight, he would admit that.

Then the other men gained the upper hand, landing punches and shoves that Vidal knew would leave a mark, and he knew that his time to 'stumble' onto the scene had arrived.

Smoothing back his hair, Reyes closed his omni-tool and stepped out of his private room in Tartarus, the music and conversation filling the room before cutting off once more as the door slid shut.

Enter stage right.

TK STRAND + terms of endearment I 9-1-1 : LONE STAR

#he’s so baby shaped to every single woman#they’ve all taken him under their wings 🥺🥺

[rangersoup]

I am placing my official bets for the Lone Star ending. Nancy gets pregnant. Mateo marries Nancy. Marjan gets proposed to (I’m not sold on this one. I’m really hoping for something bigger than that). Paul takes a trans youngster under his wing. Tommy’s cancer goes into remission. TK decides to quit to be a full time dad. Carlos is perfect. TK becomes Judd’s sponsor. Owen dies heroically, saving the 126 and fulfilling his destiny (seriously!!! I don’t even hate him anymore. This would just be such a good way to bring his story line full circle!! He was the lone survivor of the 252. He should be the lone casualty of the 126 saving them. And then going to be with his fallen brothers and his ex wife who he still very much loved!!! IVE WRITTEN ESSAYS ABOUT THIS SHIT!!!). Judd becomes captain of the 126 (as is his destiny). And the young trans character that Paul takes under his wing becomes their new probie.

And that’s how it’s gonna go, folks!
