Winter & Vision's (not so) Excellent Adventure
Who: Winter, Vision, & You
Broadcast: n/a
Action: Forest, planetside
When: July 9th
[ This thread is going to serve both as a canon update to post Captain America: Civil War for Winter and Vision, but also be used as a monthly catch-all with prompts. ]
[ It's been a few weeks since they've landed, so Winter's finally gotten over most of his initial uneasiness. Enough to finally venture into the forest for a hike and get the lay of the land. He's familiar with the beach and the markets, and he's heard things about the forest and a certain tree, so he needs to see for himself if the rumors are true.
It's relatively peaceful, and he hasn't come across anyone else yet. He's making his way around a fallen tree when an animal jumps out of a nearby bush and startles him. Winter stumbles back, and his immediate reaction is to reach out with his left hand to steady himself. Unfortunately it's still broken, so it doesn't cooperate like it's meant to. Which means that he trips and falls. Down a steep hill. Only having one functioning arm means he raises his right to shield his head until he can manage to slow down or run into something. Which is exactly what he does before his head smacks solidly against a hard surface. ]
[Meanwhile, the Vision is similarly engaged in heading toward the tree to investigate it. He’s heard you need someone’s hand to hold in order for the magic to work, but his curiosity has the better of him and he’d like to observe it in action first. A scuffle down below his flight path catches his attention, and he swoops into the forest to see what’s going on just in time to see Winter, of all people, taking a tumble down a steep hillside. He rushes over to try and intercept the man before he seriously hurts himself, and in his rush he miscalculates his own density and slams down hard enough that Winter smacks his head against the Vision instead of catching himself safely.
Oops.
The impact is enough to snap the Vision’s head back and hit it against the tree he’d been trying to prevent Winter from hitting. So now there are two enhanced individuals knocked out on the forest floor. How very impressive.]

Maybe it does. There's at least the same comraderie and intention behind it. She's got his six no matter what, the same way he'll always have hers. Winter doesn't know what the fuck he would do if Wrath ever disappeared. ]

She focuses on the memory of that, or one of the memories. It was something she and Envy said to each other a lot, as the Line stretched from its first one hundred days to over four hundred. But most vivid is
A sunset molten in the sky, and the battlefield stinks, three hundred and seventy-nine days of blood and weapons discharge and burnt corpses and melted metal. And they sit back to back on a hill that once was green and is now sticky black mud, and eat their ration packs. The warning siren sounds in the distance, and she's so goddamn tired, it's the third wave today, if it's more goddamn kids turned to monsters she's going to lose her fucking mind, and Envy starts pelting her with his fucking protein nuggets. Because he's nuts, they're all crazy by now, but it makes her laugh and call him an asshole.
Envy picks up his gladius and starts the plasma cycling up and says yeah, til the end of the Line. In the distance, figures break free of the wreckage, running toward them.
She picks up Howl, and her hand fucking aches, but they've got a job, and it's just the two of them now in this sector, no relief. They stand until they fall. And she says, No, Octavian. You'll always be a fucking asshole.
Yeah. But I'm your favorite asshole.
And they both know what it really means.]
no subject
There's no way to replicate that.
I'm with you 'til the end of the line. Those words pulled him through the dark. They do so, even now. His hand remains firm in Wrath's. ]

Always.
[There's always a light in the dark, no matter how small.]
