#savage siblings

[fictional-at-heart]

Also, MAN. If you could hear the commentary while the bro and I were watching The Hunger Games tonight!😂 Right after Katniss whistles her signal and the Mockingjays pick it up:

“Oh!! Snow’s gonna lose it! He’s gripping wherever he’s sitting right now thinking ‘Oh, it’s all coming back!! LUCY GRAY!!!!’”

"I am Maul, this is Savage" I like to believe that Maul is this dramatic in every universe and Savage is just happy to be included in whatever the hell his brother is doing

while I'm talking about Edward and Lydia, I'm not sure Griffin ever got razzed enough for creating a trio of three siblings and then having explicitly the youngest be the one who fucking died in the start-of-darkness motivating backstory. you can tell how good a job he did at making the atmosphere tense in that exposition scene, because otherwise you know Justin would've done a whole bit about it

Crosshair: Aren’t you a bit too old to go trick or treating?

Omega: Aren’t you a bit too old to be crying over toxic men?

Crosshair: …

Does it show that I love these two?

Because I love them.

"We do care for you," Savage said. "We all do. I wish you were able to believe that."

I will never stop supporting this as the backstory we would have gotten for Gary.

As requested, Savage sibs and birthday party.

Been a while since I did a Tumblr prompt fill! Here you go, my dear.

********

“I really think it should just be me.”

“Gary, we’re a team,” Ava reminds him, bumping his shoulder with hers as they walk down the sidewalk of the suburban neighborhood. “We’re here to help out. If you need a team to talk to your sister, we can do that. You went with me to talk to my fake parents last week.”

Gary shook his head, trying not to squeeze the wrapped present in his hands. “We’re really not that close. And you really, really don’t need to be here, I mean, she kinda likes her space and she’s really private and-”

“Hey, maybe now that you’re reconnecting as adults, it’ll be easier. How long did you say it’s been since you last saw her?”

Gary nervously looked at the cracks in the sidewalk. “Uh, a long time.”

“Then showing up with a gift for your nephew? I think that’s a great start to repairing that relationship.”

“I hope so,” Gary mutters, finally finding the right house. It’s a larger house, not the biggest one in the neighborhood, but the exposed brick and garden in the front are gorgeous and well cared for. There’s a toy car in the driveway along with a small soccer goal. There’s chalk drawings of three women and a little boy, and balloons tied to the mailbox. It’s all set up for a birthday party.

Ava beams and gives him a thumbs-up as he rings the doorbell. There’s no sound of footsteps at all until the door opens and a woman with a red-dyed undercut and shiny bracelets opens the door. She’s not as tall as Gary but from the fire in her gaze he’s the one that has to meet her eyes with an awkward smile. “Scandal. Hey.”

Gary’s sister, Scandal, stares at him for a moment. Then she looks at Ava, then looks at the gift in Gary’s hands, then back at Gary. “Gareth.”

“Actually, it’s Gary n-”

“Who’s that with you?”

“Oh, this is Ava. She’s my best friend. And my coworker.”

Scandal stares them both down for another solid minute, before her face melts into a smile. The sunlight glints off two wedding rings on her hand. Ava relaxes. Gary doesn’t. “Oh. Gary. Hi. Nice to see you. Is that for-”

“Yeah, yeah, it’s for Felix, actually.”

“Felix.” Scandal repeats, still smiling. “My son.”

“Yeah, my nephew. Thought, uh, thought he’d like a stuffed penguin.”

“That's nice,” Scandal nods. She pulls the door the rest of the way open, invites them both into her foyer. “Party’s happening out in the living room, come on.”

Gary and Ava follow behind Scandal as they wander through the foyer of the big house, littered with pictures of Scandal and two redheads and a red headed little boy. Said redheads and little boy are on the floor of the living room, streamers all over the windows and wrapping paper all over the floor. A large muscular man sits in a recliner, his arms folded as he studies the party before him like he’s never been to one before. On the overstuffed couch, a woman is leaned across two men, her back propped up with a pillow as she pushes another present closer. The man in the middle has an arm around the man on the end, and the man on the end is in the middle of eating a slice of cake. The taller redhead on the floor beams as the little boy unwraps a book on zoo animals, ruffling his hair. Scandal clears her throat and everyone looks up. Everyone’s smile looks confused, Ava notices.

The little boy is oblivious to it, holding up his book. “I got a book, Mamá!”

“I see, kiddo,” Scandal smiles, her hand reaching up to squeeze Gary’s shoulder. “Maybe Floyd can read it to you later.”

“Sure,” the man eating cake says through a mouthful of frosting. He’s setting his plate on the side table. “Who’s the dynamic duo, boss?”

Scandal smiles wider, squeezing Gary’s shoulder harder. “Everyone. This is my little brother, Gary.”

The room goes dead quiet and it freaks Ava out how suddenly everyone is now glaring at them. What’s she told them? What could be so bad? It’s GARY, for crying out loud.

The shorter redhead gets up, taking Felix’s hand. “Hey, sweetie, let’s go get more cake.”

“CAKE!” the little boy shrieks in delight.

“Thanks, Liana. Kay and I’ll be there in a second,” Scandal nods, watching her wife lead their son out. Kay, the other redhead, slowly rises to her feet. Ava has to crane her neck; she’s at least seven feet tall.

Gary’s still smiling because it’s what he’s best at. “Hi, everyone.”

Scandal moves from gripping Gary’s shoulder to wrapping an arm around his neck, a very forced sibling move of appreciation. “And this is Gary’s coworker, Ava. Do you know where Gary works, guys?”

Scandal and Gary have perfect fake smiles, as though they’ve practiced them for years.

“Gary and Ava work for the federal government,” Scandal continues, her teeth showing. “Under Waller, right?”

A sharp metal blade comes out of her bracelet and rests across Gary’s throat. He doesn’t look nearly as surprised as Ava is, who turns to look at the birthday crowd and watches everyone pull guns and knives out of the couch and chairs and point them at both of them. 

Scandal hisses her next sentence. “What the fuck are you doing here? On my son’s birthday? How do you even know about him?”

“Scandal, it’s not what you think. I don’t even work for Waller anymore! I got transferred to a different department. But then the department got dissolved so now I-”

“He’s stalling,” the man with frosting on his lips says, pointing a gun at Ava. “Answer her or it’s nonlethal organs to start with.”

Gary looks far too calm for this. Ava moves to pull him away but Kay grabs her, pulls her arms behind her back and holds her. Ava struggles but it’s like nothing for Kay. 

A body leans down from the chandelier, frosting on their face. “What's all the excitement?”

“It’s fine, Doll,” the woman on the couch says, knives in both hands. “Just a few new piñatas for the party is all.”

“Scandal, I’m not here to arrest you or threaten you!”

“Then what do you want?”

Gary manages to wave the present. “I don’t know, see you? I haven’t seen you in 15 years, maybe now would be a good time to start. It was 50 years before then, I don’t want it to be that long again.”

“How do you know about Felix?”

Gary sighs. “Do you believe me if I say time travel?”

Ava is horrified that Gary just brought their job up in the group of weirdos, but Scandal actually relaxes for a second. “Wait. Is this about that Rip Hunter project?”

“He died.”

“That doesn't surprise me,” Scandal sighs, finally letting go. She waves her hand for her friends to put their weapons down. They do. “Moron appeared out of nowhere with an offer for a ‘special job.’ That's how you get killed. What happened to him?”

“Long story,” Gary waves the thought away. Ava is still trying to catch up.

Wait… 50 years?

“So can we stay? Just for a little bit.”

“You still with the feds?”

“Uh… no. Not anymore.”

Scandal nods, taking a seat on the floor to start cleaning up wrapping paper. Kay lets Ava go, stumbling in surprise. Gary puts the present with the huge pile of other wrapped gifts.

“At least it’s just you,” Scandal tells him, shoving ribbon in a trash bag. “If Bishop showed up he’d be a stain on the carpet.”

Ava’s jaw drops open. Gary laughs nervously, wipes the back of his neck. “About that, actually…”

So I’m watching The Hunger Games with the little bro, and we’re at the part in the Reaping where they salute Katniss.

Little bro, laughing: “Woah, that is NOT what I thought they were doing at first! I was thinking really? To your own?”
