Date: 2020-09-12 01:55 pm (UTC)Catch Me If I Fall (Larry, Cliff, Rita, Doom Patrol)
Date: 2020-09-15 11:51 pm (UTC)It would find motivation, and a way, to punish him regardless.
Clearly, it was happy to start with physical peril, humiliation, and, yes...pain.
Larry bites down on a moan as he tries to shift his position in a way that will let him drop down to the floor without dislodging him from his perch prematurely, but his muscles are locked; pain throbs its way through his body just to make sure he knows he isn’t going to get out of this predicament without help.
So he’s very glad when he hears Cliff’s footsteps first, and then Rita’s arch enquiry as to where he could have possibly gotten to.
He’ll take humiliation over broken pains and the increasing agony that makes him feel like he’s going to vomit.
“Here,” he manages, and then red eyes are looking up at him.
“What the fuck,” Cliff says.
Larry sighs. “I think….it got angry with me.”
“So it left you stranded fifteen feet in the air?” Rita sounds both dubious and offended at the same time.
“Apparently. Could you…”. Larry’s rarely glad for the bandages he wears, the safety they provide for people around him notwithstanding, but he is then because but for them, he’d be sporting a serious blush.
If he still had skin, that is.
Cliff seems to get it. He clomps over to stand right beneath where Larry’s positioned, and holds out his arms.
“Can you just...drop?”
Larry grimaces, fighting stiff muscles, but it’s not like Cliff can climb up and get him.
Still, after a few minutes of zero progress in being able to move enough to follow Cliff’s suggestion, he hears an impatient sigh from Rita.
He almost snaps at her, that he’s trying.
“Cliff will catch you, won’t you Cliff,” she says, and Larry’s on the verge of telling her he knows, that trust isn’t the problem here, when he sees her reach up to him.
And she doesn’t stop. He watches her arm stretch impossibly, then her hand is on his hip, and she...pushes.
It’s just enough to tip him over, so he’s falling backwards, and then he lands in Cliff’s arms.
“Gotcha,” Cliff says, as if there are very been any doubt.
“I...I know,” Larry says, and pants a little, because his body hurts more now, protesting the change in position and the pain is fierce. “You...Rita, you…”
She clasps her hands together. “Yes. Well, how else were you getting down. Now, from the look of you, I think you’ll need a hot bath to ease those muscles. Cliff, would you be so kind?”
Cliff follows wordlessly as Rita leads the way upstairs to Larry’s room, and, not for the first time, Larry’s grateful that at least he doesn’t have to go through all of this alone.

Date: 2020-09-12 09:19 pm (UTC)Words of Encouragement, Nero + V (Devil May Cry)
Date: 2021-09-24 02:42 am (UTC)"I knew we'd meet up on the other side," Nero said as he came into V's line of sight, "and you found the shorter route."
V sat on the back of a mangled sedan partly buried under the rubble of a brick wall, one leg folded to his chest and the other's foot resting on the bumper. His book was open on his thigh, its spine supported by his arm and his fingers clamped over the top to keep his page, but something was off about it.
"Have you been reading the same line over and over?"
"Is it that obvious?" V shook his head and blinked slowly, as if he was trying to give his eyes a break. He straightened a little as he returned Nero's stare, but his eyes still weren't focused, and before Nero could reach him, V's head fell to rest against his raised knee.
"Hey! You okay?" Nero didn't touch him, but his sharper tone startled V to halfway lift his head again.
Looking up at Nero sideways and under his brows, V rested his temple against his knee. "I will be."
Nero raised a brow. He couldn't help the scoff and wry smile that came before he replied, "Really? 'Cause up close, you look like shit."
Then, before V could roll his eyes or scoff back, Nero hopped up onto the car and sat beside him. Belatedly, V closed his book and gave Nero a little more room. With V's cane on their right and Nero's sword on their left, they were ready for an ambush, but neither expected anything to truly bother them here.
V didn't realize his eyes had slipped closed until Nero spoke again.
"Hey, look over there. I think that graffiti is trying to cheer you up."
Skeptical, V slowly followed Nero's prosthetic hand between them to where it pointed not far down the street.
In all capital letters, with each word written below the previous, was a bold declaration in red: "LIFE IS PAIN." The rest was obscured by artwork and decal stickers. The red of the first word had been traced over in white and borrowed to make another phrase, which continued to its right in a flowing cursive: "LIFE finds a way." It ended with a flourish and a simple heart shape. Using yellow, a third contributor tried to diagonally squeeze in "uhhh" between "LIFE" and "finds."
Nero laughed at V's quietly puzzled expression. "Sorry. Not really into movies, huh?"
"I suppose not." Reading other messages, he gestured with his cane at blocky bubble letters written in metallic bronze. "Is that from a movie as well?"
"What, 'death is only the beginning'? Yeah, it is. Ancient mummy curse. Dying words of vengeance." Nero smirked. "You look excited."
"Intrigued, perhaps."
"Yup, not surprised. Hate to spoil it for you, but the mummy dies again. And in the sequel."
"Three deaths. I assume all horrific," V replied mildly.
"Definitely. Others are pretty terrible, too. Wanna hear about it?"
"Yes."
(I've referenced The Princess Bride and Jurassic Park in a couple of my other fills here... and now I can add The Mummy to the list. ~_^)

Date: 2022-03-25 11:54 pm (UTC)Natasha looked from Clint to Steve, shooting both a smirk. "How should I know? It'd take a genius to figure that out."
Steve reached forward, patting Tony's shoulder. "Don't give him such a hard time, Nat. It's not his fault that I've had so much practice."
