October 20th. 5:45 pm. 

Virgil had to force himself to stay still as Styx dressed him. 

Styx settled the suit jacket over Virgil’s shoulders, and it looked more expensive than Virgil’s entire life had been. Styx straightened his tie a few times, then immediately ruined it by grabbing it in a fist and yanking Virgil against him. Virgil gagged around the constricting fabric as Styx forced a kiss on him. 

Styx forcibly pressed their foreheads together and grinned maniacally. “Tonight’s going to be fun. You’ll be good, right?”

Virgil grit his teeth. “Yes.” 

“Good boy.” 

He reached into the teacher’s desk and pulled out Virgil’s leash. Clipping it on, he tugged and led Virgil out of the room. 

When Styx told him they’d be having a ‘family dinner,’ Virgil had expected the entire cult packed into the cafeteria. But Styx led him to the middle of the school and out a set of glass doors, where a small garden with a wooden pavilion in the centre laid. Bates, Janus, Remus, and a few people Virgil didn’t recognize sat at park tables. Everyone but Janus held a glass of wine. 

Styx shoved Virgil onto the bench across from Janus and Bates, atop a two-inch raised platform. Virgil looked at Janus in confusion, who just shook his head. 

“Finally,” Bates sighed, fingers sinking into Janus’ hair to scratch his scalp. 

Virgil grimaced as Janus leaned into the touch. Part of him was disgusted that Janus took comfort in that, but he understood. He wanted to kill himself every time Styx’s hand comforted him, or turned him on. 

Bates smirked. “We can finally get started. Let’s eat first, then we can get to the fun part. Janus, be a good boy and serve dinner.”

Janus stood, letting his leash drag behind him as he brought plates of food to everybody. Virgil’s mouth watered when Janus set his down, brushing his chest to Virgil’s back a second. 

“Really?” Virgil looked to Styx. “We get this, too? Not like boiled rats or something?” 

“When have we ever given you boiled rats?” Styx asked with a laugh. 

“Sometimes I wonder.” 

“Alright, everyone get to eating,” Bates said. “Entertainment will start soon.”

Styx ignored his plate in favour of scooping vegetables on Virgil’s fork and feeding him. He couldn’t find it in himself to be mad, being treated like a child. It tasted so good. 

He shifted uncomfortably, gaze scanning the pavilion. Everyone was staring at him. Some tried to be subtle about it, only peeking between bites, but others, like Bates, stared openly. 

A few bites in, Virgil noticed the vegetables tasted buttery, but they were so good and so fresh he convinced himself he was just being paranoid. Then the itching started, deep in the back of his dry throat, under the skin. He rubbed his tongue against it hard, but it didn’t stop. 

“Virgil?” Janus asked in concern. “Your mouth.”

“Hush, Janus, don’t ruin it.” 

Virgil scratched relentlessly around his mouth, which had grown slightly numb and swollen. He pushed Styx’s hand away as he tried to feed him more, grimacing. His stomach lurched. 

Everyone’s eyes were on him. He reached for his drink, hoping he ate little enough that he could drown out the reaction, but Bates pulled it away. He groaned. 

“You sick fucks planned this?” 

Styx poked his nose. “Don’t be rude. Finish your food.” 

“I don’t want it,” he snapped, and started to stand. 

Janus stared at him with pleading eyes as Styx grabbed Virgil’s wrist and yanked him back down. 

Styx leaned in and narrowed his eyes. “Don’t be ungrateful,” he hissed. “Finish your food. Now.” 

He grabbed a fistful of Virgil’s hair and yanked. Virgil let out a pained moan as his stomach jostled, swallowing a few times to try to stave off the vomit. 

Janus’ stomach growled, but he held his fists at his side, eyes watering. Bates cooed and held him close. “Not hungry anymore, love?” 

Styx force fed Virgil the rest just in time for him to fall to his hands and knees in the dirt, stomach contracting painfully. 

“Come on, baby,” Styx laughed, “get it over with. Show us how much you’ve got.” 

Tears streamed down Virgil’s cheeks. Sweat pricked over his entire body, heart pounding. When was the last time he had an allergic reaction? A month, two? Not long enough. It was never long enough. 

“How is this entertainment to you?” He croaked. 

“You should see your face,” Bates mused. “Right, Janie? Isn’t he so precious?” 

Janus nodded shakily. “Y-yes.” 

Virgil threw up with a gag, his body pulled taut as his muscles tightened painfully. He pounded a fist against the floor, scratching his skin along the pebbles and sticks. Everyone but Janus cheered. 

“Lasted longer than I thought he would!”

“Who had twenty minutes?” 

“Janus, go clean that up, love?” 

Janus jumped to his feet as Styx dragged Virgil back to his seat, sweating and shaking. Styx set a bowl of soup in front of him. 

Virgil’s voice cracked. “Please.” 

Styx chuckled. “It’s really good, pet. Are you sure?” 

He pushed it closer. Creamy tomato drifted towards his face, and his stomach rumbled. He picked up the spoon and tested the texture, then shuddered and nearly gagged again. He shook his head and pushed it away. 

Styx laughed and took the bowl. He sipped it slowly with a grin. “Mmm. Your loss.” 

Virgil sagged as everyone finished their meals, chattering excitedly. Janus cleaned up the vomit and sat back next to Bates. He didn’t finish his food, as much as Bates encouraged him. Their knees pressed together under the table. Virgil wanted desperately to reach under and find Janus’ hand, to grip onto him as tight as he could, but they didn’t dare get caught and separated. 

They stayed for hours, even after finishing their meals, talking and joking around. If Janus and Virgil weren’t there as tormented prisoners, it would have felt normal. They got tipsy off wine and ate more than they needed, Bates’ and Styx’s hands rubbing over their pets lightly. 

Styx dragged Virgil back to his room afterwards, grinning maniacally. He stuffed Virgil in his cage, crouching. 

“You were so good tonight, pet.” 

Virgil curled in as tight as he could. “Thanks,” he mumbled. He couldn’t bring himself to pretend. 

Styx leaned in to kiss his head, and Virgil wanted to strangle him. Lucky for both of them, he didn’t have the energy. His muscles felt like jelly. 

The door creaked closed. Virgil buried his face in his arms, skull pressed to the bars, and squeezed his eyes shut.

[aro-aizawa]

Are you doing Legend of Korra at all for whumptober?

i’m not as confident writing for korra and it wouldn’t be something i’d think of myself, but i can absolutely do it if requested!! i have a few issues w the show itself, (particularly how they handled the gaang’s kids and erased sokka and suki entirely lmao) but i do actually adore the show. especially the third season and the fourth season was really good too, so yes if you wanna get some good whump from korra then request away!!! i’d be most comfortable writing for korra, jinora or kai. and depending on the prompt i could see myself writing some decent bolin and asami whump.

[aceofwhump]

ooh a question for you for today’s whumpmas in July - out of a few of your favorite fandoms (I couldn’t pick just one lol), what is the best whump scene in them? like if there was one single scene that I should check out, which would it be? :)

Happy Whumpmas in July!! Thanks for the ask!

This is such a good question. I'm gonna post a few because I can't pick just one either lol

THIS GOT LONG I'M NOT SORRY!!

This shouldn't be a surprise at this point but number one is without a doubt Graceland 3x08 the withdrawal and ice bath scene. Which you can watch right here: https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/655290634256711681/aceofwhump-mike-warren-going-through-withdrawal

I have a lot favorite whump scenes in Once Upon A Time especially for Hook but the Hook drowning scene in 3x20 is one of my favorites things. https://youtu.be/a9ityqYp5Yg

and the August passes out/exhaustion after being tortured/chagned by magic scene in 4x16/4x17 (it starts at the end of 4x16 and carries on into 4x17) https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/176338479214

You gotta watch season 1 episode 4 Poisoned Chalice for Merlin. This scene when Merlin is at his worst due to the poison is so good. https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/186060610467

Picking just one from Hawaii Five-0 is sooooooo hard!!! So I won't pick one. Since I'm a Danny fan first and foremost, watch 4x19 when Steve removes the rebar from his side (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruT_TvnriG8), 1x23 when Danny can't breathe because of sarin poisoning and collapses (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivDwm76GXLY), 8x10 when Danny is shot and the team is stuck in quarantine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gi339gE_mo) and 10x22 when Danny is kidnapped and tortured by Daiyu Mei and Steve freaks out the rescue scene is SO GOOD (https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/634604946664407040/random-fandom-whump-whumptober-day-30-alt)

Grimm 1x08 when Nick is attacked and ends up in the hospital (https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/623731300027793408/grimm-1x08-game-ogre-whump-compilation-scenes)

Stargate Atlantis 1x04 is my faaav!! John Sheppard's scream is so delicious. https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/173515981429/tv-show-stargate-atlantis-s01e04-whumpee-john

Eureka 1x05 has such great Jack Carter whump but the ending when he gets shot with like a photon blast is ugh so good. https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/173577274929/tv-show-eureka-s01e05-whumpee-jack-carter

Lucifer has so many good whump scenes. My favorite is the scar reveal scene in 1x04. https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/174253741290

Prodigal Son. Oh man how to choose a prodigal son scene. I'm gonna go with this one in 1x11 when Malcolm is kidnapped, held captive, and has to break his own hand to escape. https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/190395163339/prodigal-son-1x11-malcolm-bright-breaks-his-own

The A-Team 5x13 when Face gets shot and their taken hostage and he's bleeding out and ahhhh i love it! https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/175999233127

Teen Wolf. Fuck how do I pick just one Isaac Lahey scene. Uhhh. Okay I gotta go with the ice bath n 3x02. It's just so good. https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/630370810628079616/teen-wolf-3x02

Oh but the panic attack in the closet in 3x04. OH and the electrocution scene in 3x19. AND THE ANIMAL TRAP IN 3x14!! FUck. Watch them all okay?

Thomas Barrow gets whumped a lot too but my favorite is a tie between him getting beaten up in 3x06 and his attempted suicide in 6x08

Oh how could I forget about Neal Caffrey!! I've watch his suffocating in soooo many times in 1x08. Also when he gets shot in the leg in 4x02.

And to finish because this is crazy long. The Weeping Monk. My baby. Watch this scene in 1x09 (when he's all emotional and you see his scars ) https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/655341616524132352/aceofwhump-cursed-netflix-2020-1x09-the

and this scene in 1x10 https://aceofwhump.tumblr.com/post/655347271242842113/aceofwhump-cursed-netflix-1x10-the-weeping (he gets beaten up)

No. 9 - Venom x Reader (continued)

Whumptober 2020

Run

Warnings: attempted assault, V apparently being a stalker but like not in a bad way?

After my first encounter with the Demon of San Francisco, I wasn’t so keen on being out that late at night again. I’d still heard stories about what the creature was doing around the city, not all of it necessarily bad, I was still pretty shaken from the whole thing. Yet, here I found myself speed walking at night with my jacket wrapped tightly around me. I had stupidly taken a ride share to work, thinkingI could just take one home, but I hadn’t counted on my phone dying before I left work. I kept my head on a swivel, praying that I wouldn’t mistakenly find the creature again and have to witness more people getting eaten. I was so distracted looking for the creature, that I missed the more prominent danger that lurked in the streets.

Humans.

I felt a knife press against my neck while a grimey, unclean hand clamped over my mouth.

“Don’t even think about screaming, bitch,” he husky voice sneered.

Just my luck.

“Take my wallet, it’s in my pocket! Please, just let me go!” I struggled against the man’s grip, feeling the point of the knife slice into my skin. I gasped at the sting and tried to wiggle away from him, which would have been easier if the knife wasnt still pressed against my neck.

“Now, hold still,” the man chuckled and gripped my hip roughly. “I can’t wait t—,” he was cut off by his own screaming as his body was ripped away from mine.

I let out the breath I was holding, thankful that the knife hadn’t gone with him and through my neck. I turned seeing an oddly familiar man in a hoodie with black veins running up his neck and face. He smirked at me as my attacker struggled to get back to his feet.

“Good to see you again, little one,” the man’s voice changed half way through the sentence, sending chills up my spine as a black goo enveloped his body at the same time. Half of the man’s face and half of the creature’s fought for dominance at the last second, the man smirking and the creature grinning widely. The man underneath never stopped looking at me as a long, black tendril shot out from his shoulder and grabbed my attacker by the neck. His gravelly and chilling tone punctuated by a deep chuckle sounded over the other man choking, “Run.”

TW: Drugged whumpee? It’s for his own good; Intubated whumpee

V***V

Markus didn’t want to sleep. 

If he slept, then he was back with Lucien. Alone. 

The drugs were pulling him down though, the empty reserves of strength that he’d been drawing from pushing him forward on whispy fumes. 

Please, please, I don’t want to. I don’t wanna be alone, please. 

He stared up at Clint, tears blurring his already unfocused gaze, and clung to his hand. Trying to communicate, begging him to not make him sleep, not to let that opaque darkness take him and swallow him up. The dark was where Lucien could find him, where he could come and drain him again, bite him again. Possess him even as he fought to free himself of the overwhelming and suffocating clutch of the vampire’s hold on him. 

Clint didn’t understand. He wasn’t there when Markus was asleep. He didn’t want to leave the comfort of his friend. 

He didn’t want to go. Please, Clint, please don’t make me go. 

Exhaustion tugged sharply on his eyelids, and they slipped closed to bury him in an unfathomable dark. His heart turned over in his chest, and he surged up with a jerk, his eyes flying open to see where he was at, to see what new horror had overtaken him while he gave in. His eyes roved, latching onto Clint’s face, and he could see the pain there, the were’s brows drawn together while his eyes flared with that steady golden yellow. 

His big hand smoothed over Markus’s hair, and his deep voice rumbled through Markus’s chest as Clint tried to soothe him. “I’m not going anywhere Markus, shhhh, you’ve gotta calm down, please brother, please,” Clint squeezed Markus’s hand gently. “Shhhhh, I know you’re scared, Hun’, I know, but you have to rest, okay?” 

Markus wanted to sob, but the tube in his throat made it impossible. 

<~> 

Markus was fighting sleep with every ounce of determination his exhausted body could summon, holding onto Clint’s hand like it was a lifeline. 

The terror and desperation seeping through the bond had Clint almost in tears, and he leaned closer to his friend, his hand brushing through his dark hair, smoothing it away from his forehead again and again as he tried to get him to settle. “It’s okay, Markus, I’m not going anywhere, okay?” He shook his head, hating the way that Markus’s green eyes pleaded with him. “I’m not going anywhere. You’re safe, and I’ll be right here when you wake up, nothing is going to get to you while you sleep, I promise.” 

The witch tightened his hold around Clint’s hand, his weak grip implacable as he practically begged Clint through the empathic bond, more tears, precious as diamonds, sliding down his temples. Clint hated this, that he couldn’t do anything to help his friend who was so clearly terrified, but there was nothing for him to do but try and comfort Markus. Every time the other man woke up, there was this fear in his expression that was all consuming, his eyes flicking across every surface until he saw someone he recognized and the fear settled into something weaker. Clint understood that he was disoriented, that he didn’t always know where he was at, but there was nothing else he could do to keep him oriented other than being there for him when he woke up. 

In his periphery, he could make out Anna, one of Markus’s nurses, as she sidled into the room. She was eyeing the monitors with enough concern to have Clint’s breath catch.  He caught her eye, and she shook her head. If Clint couldn’t get him to calm down then she was going to have to increase his meds.

“Markus, Sugar, shhhh,” Clint leaned in until their eyes were level, not even a foot of space separating their noses. “You’re gonna feel better when you wake up, okay? I know you’re tired, just sleep, nothing can hurt you, okay?” 

Markus turned from him, agitated, reaching toward his face and the tubes there. 

He and Anna both surged forward at once, catching his clumsy hand and gently restraining him. The heart monitor and the ventilator both gave a high pitched, vicious warning shriek, and Clint winced, feeling his own heart plummet with worry. “Fuck, Markus, fuck,” he cursed, his voice softening on the second curse as Markus’s eyelids fluttered, his body relaxing slightly against the pillows. Even that small burst of movement was too much, and Clint could see the strain in his vitals as Anna’s shook her head again.   

Doggedly, Markus’s half-lidded eyes searched out Clint’s, and the frustrated, angry fear he’d been sending through the bond turned into a pitiful yearning. The witch shook his head, struggling weakly against Clint’s restraining hand, reaching for his chest. Clint let him, and Markus’s hand clutched around the grahm under his gown, holding the metal and charms tightly. 

“I’m sorry, Bud, I’m so sorry, but I’m here and nothing is going to hurt you, okay?” Clint swallowed roughly, wishing he knew what was wrong, wishing he could do something more to make his friend feel better.  He didn’t let his gaze leave Markus’s, trying to impress upon the other man that Clint wasn’t going anywhere, that he was safe. He would figure this out, once Markus was safe, wasn’t hurting himself anymore. Even without breaking his gaze, he could see Anna messing with the pumps at the bedside, and he squeezed Markus’s hand. “You’ve got to sleep, Sweetheart, don’t fight the meds okay?” 

There was another bubble of fear as the medication hit Markus’s system, but it didn’t take more than a few more seconds and his bruised eyelids slipped closed, the race of his heart slowing as the tumult of his emotions quieted. Clint shuddered, breathing out a choked, shaking exhale as he pressed his forehead against his friend’s. “Fuck, Love, what’s wrong?” he whispered under his breath, sniffling quietly. 

Anna’s slender hand came to rest on his shoulder, her thumb swiping back and forth gently. “He’s on a lot of different medications, Clint, and he’s been through a lot.” Her voice was soft, soothing. She was a lot gentler than Catrina, but no less vicious when it came to taking care of Markus. “He’s probably having some really strange dreams—it’s just making him agitated, okay? You’re doing great with him, I’m sure it’ll taper off once he gets a little better.”

Clint straightened, looking at her with wide eyes. “Strange dreams?” 

She nodded, her eyes sad as she looked down at her patient. “Yeah, painkillers are notorious for giving people nightmares, and with everything he’s experienced. . . I don’t want to know what he’s dreaming about.” 

“I could kiss you,” he said, the words flying out of his mouth without filter as exhaustion and relief made him giddy. 

Thankfully, Anna laughed. “Okay, can I ask why?” 

“Cause I think I know someone who can do something about dreams.” Anna shook her head, but she’d become used to the odd things that Markus’s friends said and just left as Clint picked up his phone, dialing Theo. Markus’s coven sister would have something to help, he was sure of it.  

<~> 

The next time Markus woke, it was with the normal lethargy of medicated sleep. He shifted slightly on the bed, and Clint held his breath as his eyelids fluttered, but there was none of the stark terror from before. His green eyes took their time focusing, but the wolf watched as his gaze was drawn down to where Theo was asleep next to Markus’s hip, hand wrapped around Markus’s wrist, hiding the new charm from his gaze. She’d exhausted herself making the charm, the magic convoluted and ephemeral, something even Theo wasn’t sure how long would last. 

But it was a start.

Markus didn’t fight this time, settling back to sleep quickly, not even seeing Clint in the corner of the room.

v. where do you think you’re going?

part two of the runaway academy

the umbrella academy | five & diego | 3.6k

summary: [whumptober 2020] Five was looking for his siblings.

One, Three and Seven had all run away, and although Dad said they were sick, but Five didn't buy that for a minute. They must be hiding, and if they were hiding, Five would have to find them.

Only, he'd already looked all over the house. Which meant he'd have to enlist Number Two's help to find wherever they were hiding out in the city.

October 22nd. 7:51 am. 

They couldn’t sleep. 

Logan had a migraine. 

Janus couldn’t stop thinking about Virgil. 

Bates stayed true to his word and hadn’t come back. Logan tried for a while to get Janus’ shackles off so he could at least be comfortable, but all they succeeded in was rubbing his already raw wrists. 

Around 6am, the door creaked open and closed again. Logan leapt off Janus’ lap and bristled. He held his fists up defensively, eyes narrowed. 

His eyes widened. “Remus?” 

Remus flew down the stairs and threw himself into Logan’s arms. Logan grunted a little but caught him and held him back tight. 

“I’m so sorry,” Remus whispered, pulling Logan’s head to his neck, “I’m so sorry, you shouldn’t be here.” 

“What are you doing here?” 

Remus pulled back, just a few inches, and held up his backpack. He shook it a little. “Medic duty.” His gaze slipped to Janus, who watched with a pale face. “Looks like it’s not needed, though.”

“Logan has a headache.” 

Remus looked back to Logan. “Come on. I have some medicine, let’s sit down.”

Logan took pills for his migraine, which only helped marginally without his glasses, and Remus undid Janus’ shackles. Logan laid between Remus’ legs with his head in his lap, on his back. Janus curled into Remus’ side. He held Logan’s hand and played with his fingers while Remus massaged his scalp and temples.

They stayed up all night. Remus insisted they needed their rest, but they hated the thought of closing their eyes just to open them moments later with Bates and Styx. They wanted these hours together to stretch out as long as possible. 

“Where’s Virgil?” Logan murmured after a while.

Remus and Janus grimaced. 

“Styx,” Janus mumbled. 

He flinched. “Ugh… What happened to the girl he was with?”

Remus shook his head. 

“Please tell me we’re leaving soon,” Janus whispered.

Remus kissed the side of his head. “As soon as we can. Just waiting for the right opportunity.” He hesitated. He stayed silent for a moment, biting his lip, before asking in a soft voice, “You trust me, right?”

Janus opened his eyes. He cupped Remus’ face and pressed their foreheads together. “Of course I do. When I doubted you… I regret that. You’ve never done anything to hurt me.” 

“That’s not-”

“In my book, you’ve never done anything to hurt me.” Janus stroked his cheek. “It’s not like the situation we’re in is… Cut and dry. You’ve always done your best. I appreciate that.” 

Remus kissed him softly, and Janus pulled him closer. They kissed for a while as Logan dozed, hopefully allowing the medicine to finally take effect.

Whumptober #27

I severely overestimated my ability to write with a broken tailbone, y’all. x) Like, it hurts to sit so it’s really hard to work on my laptop. But I’m gonna try! I’ve made it this far!!!

xxx ok, who had natural disasters on their 2020 bingo card?

“Get him inside, hurry!” Clay commands turning the lights on as they enter the abandoned dwelling-turned-safe house. It’s the new guy, this time. Only been with them for three months. Clay and the others were fine without him, but the boss had insisted because apparently someone who understands all that techy hacker bullshit is a “necessity”.

The techie is currently being supported by Roque on one side and Pooch on the other. He’s barely standing, which, Clay has to remind himself, is better than not standing at all. He’s not shouting anymore, either, which seems like less of a good thing. He’s gone quiet, and it’s the quiet that Clay knows comes with shock. His glasses had gotten lost somewhere on the way back, and the humidity and sweat have plastered his usually styled hair to his forehead, and he just looks really young.

Clay hates it. 

“Lay him down,” he says, though the guys already know what they’re doing. 

Jensen lets out a small cry as Roque and Pooch carefully lower him to the ground, facedown. 

“Hey, you with us new guy?” Roque says. 

“With you,” Jensen gasps, eyes squeezed shut in pain. 

Cougar steps forward now and pulls one of the knives from his belt, cutting the back of Jensen’s shirt open. Clay doesn’t need to see it to know it’s bad. He can see it in the slight widening of the Colombian’s eyes, and in the way Roque winces and Pooch averts his eyes. But he looks anyway, and it’s worse than he thought.

The machete wound starts at the top of Jensen’s right shoulder, arching slightly toward the center of his back before curving back toward the outside of his ribcage. Clay has seen plenty of knife wounds, but this is different--the wound is less of a cut and more of a valley, with a wide opening that closes down to a v at the bottom. If it had been any closer to Jensen’s spine, he’d be paralyzed, or dead. 

“‘sit bad?” Jensen’s voice is high and tight. When there’s no response, he tries to lift his head, craning his neck to look at Clay, his voice taking on more panic. “Colonel, ‘sit bad?”

Clay can feel the other men looking at him, and he takes a deep breath. 

“It’s not good,” he says, and Jensen lets out a sound that Clay knows is the sound that comes from trying desperately not to make a sound. “Cougar, you got this?”

Cougar’s lips are pursed tightly, and he nods once. He hasn’t said it, but for whatever reason he’d taken to the chatty Jensen right away, and it’s clear he’s worried about the newest team member.

“Whaddya need?” Roque asks. 

“My med bag and the strongest alcohol you can find,” Cougar says, stepping into the tiny bathroom to wash up. 

“I got the bag,” Roque says. “Pooch, you got the booze?”

“On it!”

And then it’s just Clay and Jensen in the living room, Jensen breathing in quiet gasps, his fists clenching and unclenching. Beneath the blood, his skin is pale and covered in a sheen of sweat, and there are tiny tremors running through him. Clay kneels down next to him so Jensen can look up at him.

“How’re you doing, soldier?” he says.

“Doin’ great, Colonel. Might, uh...might be b-better once I get some of the alcohol in me.”

Clay grimaces. “You’ve lost a lot of blood, I don’t think it’s for you to drink.”

Jensen lets out a groan. “Course not...If, uh. ‘f I don’t make it, you gotta tell m’ sister I was brave, ‘n…’n a hero. Promise?”

“I promise. But Cougar’s gonna patch you up and we’re going to get you home. You can tell her yourself.”

And then the lights flicker and turn off and they’re pitched into darkness. Clay stands. 

“What the hell was that?” he calls. 

The others appear a second later. Pooch pushes a bottle of vodka into Clay’s hands and opens the door, stepping outside. 

“It’s not just us,” he says, turning to the little team. “Power’s out as far as I can see. It’s a blackout.”

Roque puts Cougar’s bag down and clasps his hands behind his head. “Son of a bitch…”

Whatever Cougar was about to do, it’s about to get ten times harder. Clay steps to his side and lowers his voice. 

“Should I try and get an evac out here?”

Cougar shakes his head. “It would take too long. I can do it.”

“I got infrared goggles in my bag,” Roque says. 

“Get them,” Cougar responds, and then he’s sitting on the floor next to Jensen, rifling through his bag.

“You, uh. Ever stitched someone up in the dark?” Jensen asks.

Cougar doesn’t look up, still searching for something. “Si.”

“Liar.”

“Don’t speak,” Cougar says, pulling out a small box that Clay recognizes as his suture kit. “You need rest.” He reaches for the vodka and opens it. “This will hurt.” And then he pours. 

Jensen lets out a scream before his eyes roll back and he goes still. 

“Is he okay?” Pooch says. 

“It’s the pain,” Cougar says. 

Roque walks back in with the goggles, holding onto them while Cougar tries to thread his needle in the dark. He looks down at the unconscious techie.

“Probably for the best.”

Clay looks over at him. “If he wakes up while Cougar’s working, you’re gonna have to help me hold him.”

Roque crosses his arms over his chest. “I don’t know why they sent him out here with us. Oh, geez.” He turns away from Jensen as Cougar puts the needle into his skin. “Pooch, you’re gonna need to hold him, I can’t watch this.”

Clay steps toward Roque, lowering his voice so the others can’t hear. “I need you to track down his sister, just in case. We owe him that much.”

Roque nods. “You got it. But he’s gonna get through this. Cougar’s good at this shit, even if the conditions are...well. This.”

“Yeah, I’m sure you’re right,” Clay says, even though he’s not.

The only thing he is sure of is that if he gets through this, Jensen is definitely off the team.
