Catch

This is just a short little scene.

This is also @onereyofstarlight​ ‘s fault.

We have possible ship here, so be warned.

But it is just a scene.

I hope you enjoy anyway :D

“Tracy! Catch!”

He had split moment to spin on one heel as a firmly wrapped BLT was thrown in his direction.

He caught it without thought, specialised rubber squeaking against pavement as he shifted his weight. “You know you’re going to have to think of another name to call me if you’re going to work with all of us.” He put the sandwich down on the hood of her fire truck and undid his gloves. Bacon, lettuce and tomato did not go well with soot and ash.

His wrist control clunked on metal as he tapped in its security protection code.

The Scott in his head ranted about not letting the device leave his body when out in the field, but it was damned hard to eat his sandwich with it on.

Cass sauntered up him, her helmet perched back on her head, her grin breaking through over the huge bite she was taking out of her sandwich. “So what’s your callsign then, Tracy?”

He unwrapped his own. “Thunderbird Two, most times.” He didn’t realise how hungry he was until he took his first bite. There must have been something special on the sandwich because it tasted divine.

She arched an eyebrow. “Most times? What about other times?”

Virgil smirked. “It varies. Virgil. Virg, tank, tankhead, bear, Rembrandt, piano man, big bro, but mostly ‘hey, you’ or ‘Oi!’.”

“Family?”

A snort. “Of course.” And ninety-five percent Gordon on the prod before coffee. His little bro continued stretch the boundaries.

Virgil wouldn’t have it any other way, but eh, the occasional revenge prank fixed most things.

“Colourful.” She was still grinning and her sandwich was almost gone.

Virgil needed to pay more attention to his food.

He blinked slowly, but instead of doing exactly that, he took the moment to really look at his fellow rescue operative.

She was as grimy and as covered in soot as he was. That was the result of digging six people out of a burning and partially collapsed building on the outskirts of London.

Both of them and the fire truck were standing in what little shadow Two could cast on this murky cold grey day. He had hoped for rain, but John had shattered that thought early on. The fire was dead only because of the efforts of Blue Squad and Two’s water cannon.

But despite the soot on their clothes and the haze in the air, she was still grinning at him and he couldn’t help but return it.

Her eyes carried her silent laughter.

It had been great to run with the Squad today. They worked well as a team and Cass was a good leader. They put out a fire and saved lives and, in the process, had shared ideas and techniques.

After all International Rescue may have the best equipment out there, but it was his family that made it work. In this case it was Cass’ team, without the tech, that did their job well.

And while it was still a rescue and he had Two with him, along with all her equipment, it had felt good to run with people who were as good in spirit as all the members of his family.

Though, if he was honest with himself, it wasn’t just about the team and professionalism.

It was about Cass.

“You gonna eat that?” Her grin was still there, but her eyebrows were questioning his sanity.

He mentally shook himself and took another bite. Definitely something in the mayonnaise, or perhaps a seasoning. “It’s good.”

She smiled at him and swigged a gulp of soda. “Good.”

As he tore further into his sandwich, she looked away a moment and shouted across the road to one of her team.

He took the opportunity to look at her again - the dark hair curling around her earlobe, a tiny scar on her temple, the dimple that formed in her left cheek each time she smiled.

Yes.

It wasn’t about the team.

It was about Cass.

We are well beyond canary in the coalmine warning levels with the way trans people and particularly trans women are treated on this site.

Maybe you've heard the metaphor of allowing wolves and sheep to share the same space, welcoming everyone. You end up with just wolves because allowing them in that space makes it unsafe for any sheep. Or the story about how a nazi goes into a dive bar and is refused service. The bartender then explains to someone else at the bar that if you serve them once they tell their friends and before you know it you're the nazi bar they all go to and normal customers don't feel safe.

Terfs and other bigots are seeing these targeted harassment campaigns succeed against trans women and rejoicing. They see Tumblr ban them and officially stand by those decisions as endorsement for their harassment. It's a sign to bigots across the internet that Tumblr is a good place for them.

And what's more is that a lot of us probably don't realize just how much trans women contribute to Tumblr. The women banned recently were sources of site-wide memes and posts I wasn't even aware originated from them.any years old memes and references can be traced back to trans women on this site.

How many of these folks have to be removed before this is no longer a site you want to be a part of it? Sure you cultivate your own experience, but you can't follow or interact with people who aren't here. And if I wanted to interact with the nazis and terfs I'd go to reddit.

I encourage everyone to reblog this. Trans women shouldn't have to be the only ones speaking out against the bigotry they're experiencing. They shouldn't be the only ones risking their blogs being nuked by staff. We have to stand with them.

The funniest thing Stranger Things could do is reveal that Steve’s parents are like, really liberal. They donate to AIDs research. They were arrested protesting the Vietnam War. They campaigned for Mondale. Steve tells them that Nancy broke up with him and they’re like, “Thank god, that family believes in Reaganomics.”
