(Um. I am so sorry. I wrote this because of the prompt, and it doesn't fill it at all, but, well. Here.)

...

“This was never the plan, you know,” the angel says.

The fallen angel scoffs. “Would it have come to pass, if it wasn’t?”

The human sighs. When they both look over, she asks, “So, is God ineffable or isn’t he? Is there a plan or is there not? Did he just go out for a beer one day and never come home?” When they both open their mouths, she gestures sharply. “It doesn’t fucking matter, you dickwads,” she says. “We’ve got a job to do, so let’s get to it, yeah?”

Outside, the sky is still falling.

Any, any vs any, the origin of a grudge

the weapon with no name - spoilers for Captain America: Winter Soldier

[tigriswolf]

(Spoilers for Cap2. Mentions of torture/brainwashing/violence. Steve/Bucky.)

---

There is a weapon with a title but no name, and he is a powerful weapon indeed. He is the greatest weapon ever built by Red Room, and when Red Room fell, he was sent to Hydra rather than be destroyed.

Let Tony Stark have his Jericho Missile, his Iron Man suit – just as the Winter Soldier once killed Howard Stark, Howard Stark’s son will be no problem at all.

…

There is a weapon with no name, and he is awoken only for the greatest of targets. He has caused wars, terrorized nations, wiped out bloodlines.

(He has done none of that, Captain America will say in a few years’ time. He did none of that. The weapon will not believe him.)

There is a weapon with no name, and he is awoken to kill Fury, Nicholas J., director of SHIELD.

There is a weapon with no name, and he is sent to kill Captain America and the SHIELD Agent Black Widow.

There is a weapon with no name, but –

I knew him, he repeats as his handlers order him wiped. I knew him.

…

There is a weapon with a name. As he fights Captain America, as Captain America keeps talking, as Captain America falls into the water -- James Buchanan Barnes. Bucky. All your life. My friend.

There is a weapon with a name and he plunges into the water.

…

There is a man reading a museum display about himself. He could kill everyone in the building in under ten minutes, if ord—no, if he chose. He chooses not to.

There is a man in a stolen hoodie and stolen baseball cap, hands in his pockets, his metal fist clenched.

There is a man whose identity was taken from him. Who was turned into an unstoppable weapon and set loose, loyal only through torture and mindwipes. That is no loyalty at all.

There is a man somewhere looking for him. A good man. The best man.

There is a man who watches the old videos, who looks at the pictures, who wonders – once, he loved Captain America. That much is obvious. No, he corrects himself, staring at his own face smiling so wide, so true. James Buchanan Barnes loved Steve Rogers. Enough to die for him.

Enough to break through Winter Soldier to save him.

…

There is a man with a name. He is still the greatest weapon ever built by Red Room, still the best weapon Hydra ever wielded.

Red Room was dismantled, but Hydra… Hydra still wants Captain America dead, and James Buchanan Barnes has all of Winter Soldier’s skills, and love enough to defy death.

Cut off one head, he thinks. The weapon had no knowledge of mythology, and Bucky Barnes hadn’t cared much for book learning, but James decides to study while he builds his strength back up. Heracles killed the hydra by cauterizing the stumps as he cut off the heads.

James is going to tear the remaining cells down and burn it all until nothing is left, not even ashes.

…

There once was a weapon whose name was taken from him.

Loyalty under duress is no loyalty at all.

James remembers being a child and defending another boy, who grew up into a good man, the best man. James remembers loving Steve Rogers before he even knew what love was.

He has never been worthy of Steve’s love in return, he always knew that. But he protected Steve, from bullies, from cold, from enemy combatants, from death itself. He was good at it when he just a man; he’s the best at it, now that he has 70 years as the weapon’s experience to draw on.

He goes hunting.

The Simpsons, Bart, years later the police and their profilers will wonder where this psychopath came from

FILL: El Barto [The Simpsons, Bart, PG-13]

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

They all know him as El Barto, nothing more. He lurks in the shadows, and the only sign of his presence is the debris left behind – the tear stained faces, the scattered limbs, the ruined lives so broken and scared.

“Where did he come from?” They whisper, “what caused him? Who could do something like this?”

They don’t know, of the small ten year old boy with the wicked smile and the ideas growing ever bigger. Drawn on by glee and then fascination and then madness sharp as a knife.

They only know El Barto, and he’s ever so proud.
