Egotober - Day 9

Prompt: Antlers

“Captain’s log, stardate one point- actually, Mark. What’s the date?”

Mark scoffed. Planted his hands on his hips. Leaned forward in that way he did when he was utterly convinced he was right. “This isn’t Star Trek, Captain.”

You turned and waved both arms at the eerie world in which the wormhole had spat you into. “Isn’t it?”

“Captain.” Mark said from behind you.

“I mean-” You gestured to the curled, blackened trees littering a gray landscape piled with ashy dunes. Fog pressed in around you; you couldn’t see anything but your immediate surroundings and the trees, even with the luminescent glow of the portable wormhole generator. “This is totally a Star Trek episode.”

“Captain!” Mark pawed at your arm, forcing you to spin-

And see exactly what he was going on about: a gigantic figure was rising above the trees, swathed in gray and black, a magnificent deer skull with empty, gaping eyes bearing down on you while around its head wove massive antlers that stretched so far above they disappeared into the sky.

You gawked, while Mark squeaked out, “I think we need to get out of here.”

A giant hand, spindly and clawed, swept from the fog, reaching toward you, and you snapped out of your awe. You began slapping wildly at the wormhole generator stuck to your hand. “That’s a great idea. Let’s leave.”

But it wouldn’t respond. You poked at it, clawed at it, all the wild Mark clung to you, all but climbing you like a tree. “Captain, Captain-”

“I got it!” The hand was getting closer, seeming to move in slow motion. It was bigger than you. Bigger than you and Mark combined. “Fuck! Work, you damn thing!”

Finally, it did, and the wormhole opened, a great mass of whirling blue-black that swept you away moments before the hand passed through the spot you were standing.

You and Mark tumbled to the deck of the Invincible II, right in the middle of the bridge. You lay on your back, panting, the adrenaline surge pounding in your ears, while Mark rolled over onto his stomach and made noises.

“That was not the fucking warp core,” you muttered when you eventually regained the ability to breathe.

“Definitely not a Star Trek episode.” Came Mark’s reply. “Shit was too scary for that.”

You gasped out a laugh. “I never want to do that again. I quit.”

Mark managed a snort. “And I’ll be right behind you.”

Some people have observed that the Invincible looks rather "lived-in" despite being brand new

My headcanon to explain this is that the ship (or perhaps earlier versions of it) did look all shiny and new initially, but it was discovered that people were less comfortable with the idea of hanging out in it long-term that way, so they went and made it look scruffier on purpose

"Merry Christmas, Captain" (Head Engineer!Mark x reader)

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

It was hard during the holidays on the Invincible II. Most people either had to leave their family back on earth or were still in cryostasis. So it only meant that the crew could celebrate together.

However, to most people - yourself included - the crew was family. There were bits of tinsel that covered doorway entrances, Christmas trees decorated by each department, and Celci had to tell Mark that he couldn’t use the cryo room as a place to have a snowball fight as “that’s not how it works!”

You can probably guess how Mark felt about that.

Though the crew were gathering in the mess hall to have a big Christmas dinner, you didn’t really know if you should turn up. As much as you enjoyed everyone being together, this time of the year made you reflect on what had happen in all of those other universes. The guilt was slowly becoming better to deal with, especially after talking it over with Mark many times until it was late, however it was occasions like this you did find it hard to cope.

So that’s is why you’re stuck in your room doing paperwork, preparing to go to the bridge to supervise the running of the ships systems while everyone could have a break. Donning your hat and signature gloves, you took your tablet and promptly made your way there. As you walked by all the decorations you thought you should’ve maybe added something somewhat Christmas-y to your uniform but it was too late now. The door whooshes open to the bridge.

There was about four or five people in there monitoring the various systems. They all stood to attention when you walk in. You recognise all of them as members of several different departments. You smile somewhat awkwardly and nod your head in acknowledgment.

“At ease everyone.” They all relax from their previously stiff stances. “You can call go down to the dining hall for your dinners, I’ll look after things up here. Dismissed.”

They crew have big smiles on their faces but then quickly leave, thanking you as they do. Only one, Tyler, pauses.

“Are you sure, Captain? I don’t mind helping out here. Don’t wanna leave you here all alone.” He gives you a warm smile. You pause. It would be nice to have the company, but it wouldn’t be fair to have only him stay behind. He was probably just being polite anyway.

“No thank you, Tyler. I’d hate for you to miss out on the festivities. Go enjoy yourself,” you smile at him, but it felt forced. You didn’t really want to be here by yourself, but you couldn’t stand seeing all the happy faces of those you’ve probably killed over and over again in other universes. Tyler hesitates but nods in respect before leaving. The doors whooshed close behind them.

And then you were alone, staring out into deep space.

-_-_-_-

Tyler had picked up on the face that his Captain wasn’t doing great, but he wasn’t sure why. He assumed it was probably because they didn’t have their family with them. Thankfully, he knew just the person that would help cheer the captain up.

-_-_-_-

Vitals: Normal

ADS: Normal

Cryo: Normal

Reactor: Normal

Warp Core: N/A

Well at least that’s always what it’s said since the start of the voyage, minus the hiccup in the middle. After doing the necessary checks and selecting the correct buttons on the data pad, you wondered back over to the window. It was times like this you were happy that Mark had installed all of these windows, despite the issues they caused in other universes.

Your eyes slowly refocus on your own reflection. The bags under your eyes were a little more puffy than usual. Sleep was hard to get sometimes. But you could also see the Christmas tree's lights next to the control panel. Your thoughts drift back to some of your favourite holiday moments. Times with close family or friends. People who you haven’t seen in a very, very long time. Maybe… just maybe… this could be the moment you let yourself give into the Christmas spirit?

“Computer! Play something Christmas-y.”

The computer pauses before you start to hear a quiet version of one of your favourite Christmas songs. You smile to yourself before you suddenly hear the whoosh of the door opening. You quickly compose yourself and turn to see the Head Engineer walk through the door holding two drinks.

“Captain! There you are! I was wondering wher- … oh god what’s wrong? Are you ok?” He quickly rushes over, balancing the drinks on the control panel. You’re confused before you realise a few stray tears had fallen down your cheeks.

“Oh… I’m okay, Mark. Don’t worry about me,” you say as you wipe the tears away. “What are you doing here? I gave everyone the time off.”

Mark sheepishly rubbed his neck. “Yeah, I know, but I was hoping that by everyone you’d mean yourself included.” He offers one of the drinks to you. “I even brought one to share with you, captain.”

You glance over and hesitate. “well, I’m technically still on duty.” But one reassuring smile from Mark had you reaching over to accept the drink. You clink glasses together and stare out into space together.

“Why are you alone up here Captain? I-…We all would love to have you down there,” he corrected. You sigh and take a sip of your drink. It was very fizzy but light with a fruity aftertaste. Quite pleasant.

“I don’t know if I could see them all happy. Not after seeing the other thems. I doesn’t…feel right, I suppose.”

“Well you still have the right to enjoy yourself too.” Silence then fills the room. He puts a hand on your shoulder. “Look, myself and the other heads of departments have a surprise for you. Just… indulge us, please?”

You mull it over in your head before giving a nod. You walk together out of the room. As you walk down the hallway together you accidentally brush hands. You tried not to make the blush on your face obvious but feeling your heart jolt like that didn’t help. Eventually, you both make your way to the mess hall and the door whooshes open.

You see all of the other heads wearing various Christmas themed outfits, holding wrapped parcels and with big smiles on all of their faces - even Burt has a soft smile.

“Captain! You’re finally here! You can open this now!” Celci runs up to you while wearing her elf outfit and hands you a beautifully wrapped box with a big blue bow on top of it. You’re quickly ushered to sit down and start opening your present. You tear away at the wrapping to find a beautiful pair of gloves. They were very similar to the ones you were wearing but they had the softest insides to them. And stitched into the inside were your initials. These must’ve been custom made, possibly by Celci herself. You thank her profusely.

Burt had a simple Santa hat on and passed you a little box with some ribbon. You untie it and inside it is a keychain. It was a replica of the ones to drive the ship, but this one had miniatures of a wrench, an ice cube, a pistol, a hammer, a captain’s hat and even a mini Invincible II.

“It’s important to always keep those important close at hand,” he states. You smile at the gift and thank him. For once, this bit of wisdom from him did not freak you out.

Gunther was next. He wasn’t wearing anything different to his normal clothes (“It’s Die Hard! It’s a Christmas film!) but it was clear that someone, probably Celci, had put a snowman beanie on his head. He passes you something that seemed to be wrapped in foil. It was a custom made silver blaster that had your name engraved into the handle.

“For when you need protection exploring the new planet!” Though it did seem very excessive, he did reassure you it had a stun mode on it. You thanked him too.

Then various members of the rest of the crew came over to wish you merry Christmas and in the end you even got dragged to the theatre room to watch some of the classic Christmas films. Mark and Celci got into another one of their fights (Mark wanted to watch The Grinch Who Stole Christmas but Celci was determined to watch White Christmas). But in the end the crew took a vote and watched both of them and one or two others too.

It was getting very late and you were just about ready to go and sleep when someone tugged your hand. You looked to see it was none other than Mark.

“Come with me.”

You both promptly slip away from the party. He leads you to a quiet hallway and oddly stops you in one of the archways.

“I, uh, wanted to give you my present.”

“Mark you didn’t have to-" you try to say but then he put a finger over your lips, silencing you. He then points upwards, and you follow your finger to then see there was something hanging from the ceiling. Mistletoe.

Oh.

Oh.

You glance back at him. He waits to see if you were okay with what was about to happen. You nod and both of your lips gently brush against other while he embraces you. He gently pulls away and you can feel him smile as he whispered, “merry Christmas, Captain.”

Maybe Christmas wasn’t too bad after all.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you all liked this short story just in time for Christmas! I hope you are all safe and I will see you guys (hopefully) in the new year - Anx :)

I'm really REALLY liking the idea of making a Side Blog for My OC's only(and there's would be not only My OC's sheets, but also drabbles, storylines, asks, ideas for the future, this would be usefull for me too) bc lets be real, You all like more this blog for the writing for other fandoms than My OC's 😅

__________

Realmente REALMENTE me gusta la idea de hacer un blog paralelo solo para mis OC (y no solo habría hojas de mis OC, sino también drabbles, historias, preguntas, ideas para el futuro, esto también sería útil para mí) porque Seamos realistas, a todos les gusta más este blog por escribir para otros fandoms que para mis OC 😅

"you're not alone I'm staying right here" captain X engineer

Egotober - Day 27

Prompt: "You're not alone. I'm right here." / Orange

---

The brilliant lights of the planet’s twin suns flooded the cupola with orange-yellow light, forcing you to shield your eyes as you floated up into the capsule, brushing your hand against the thick, clear glass that domed the space, providing a three-sixty degree view for crewmates and colonists should they find a free moment to steal away.

You thought you’d find Mark here, and you were right; he floated upside down in the cupola, gaze fixed determinedly on the planet below. 

“Oh, hey Captain,” he said absentmindedly, without looking at you even as you came to float next to him. 

You worked yourself into an upside down position like him, noting that it was a better perspective. Or, at least, a more fun one. “I was looking for you,” you said. “This is the last place I had left to check.”

Mark grunted. “I like to come up here when I need to think. I did this a lot when-” he faltered- “when I was alone.” He paused. “Sometimes I feel like I’m still alone.”

You put a hand on his shoulder, careful to be gentle in the no-grav environment. You had no idea what must be going through his head, and you said so. “I can’t imagine what it must have been like. How horrible it must have been to be by yourself for so long. But-” you forged on when he glanced at you, mouth opening to interject- “You’re not alone anymore. I’m right here. Gunther is here, and Bert, and Celci. You won’t ever be alone again. We won’t let you be alone.”

You tried to keep your voice firm. Tried to keep it from shaking too much. Tried to sound like you meant it, because you did; you meant what you said with every bone in your body.

Mark must have understood that, because he smiled and reached for your hand. You let him, and together you both turned your sights back to the planet you would soon call home.
