Young Avengers: Random drabble time!
Monday, March 30th, 2009 04:09 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Even though the clock this morning said 6am, my body was still on PST and was convinced it was 3am. I am so tired right now. Damn time zones. So instead of working on my thesis and havign to redo everything tomorrow when I'm more awake, I wrote Young Avengers drabbles. First one is something I wrote in
attilatehbun's comments. The other four are evenly divided between my weird sense of humor and AU's that will never get written.
Drabble 1: In which there is off-screen destruction of the vehicular kind
"You are allowed to laugh for five minutes and then I want some grade A sympathy," Billy says as soon as he sees Teddy. Teddy blinks a few times, before the corners of his mouth turn up.
"Okay. Why should I be laughing?"
Billy takes a deep breath and lets it out in one go. "I was having driving lessons with mom today and rear ended a cop car."
Teddy's first question is "Are you okay?" and once Billy assures him that no one was hurt, he lasts all of three seconds before he starts laughing. "A cop car? You rear ended a cop car?"
"Laugh it up. You have three minutes and 53 seconds left."
"Only you." There is a world of affection in Teddy's voice.
"Only me."

Drabble 2: In which there is no destruction and no demons either.
"Billy, Teddy, did you find out what was going on over on 70th and Lexington?" Eli asked. Teddy snorted and Billy rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, obviously it was amateur magic night at Sweet Valley High. We stopped it," Billy replied. Eli opened his mouth, but Billy beat him to it. "Before you ask, no buildings were destroyed."
"No demons summoned," Teddy added.
"No one almost discovered our secret identities."
"And no one was brought back to life in any way, shape or form," Billy finished. "Although the administration of the school is probably going to want to redecorate the girl's locker room. Does that cover everything?"
Eli sighed. "Given the way our last few missions have gone, I'm going to call it a success and just not ask about the girl's locker room."

Drabble 3: In which there is fail cake
Prince William Maximoff, aka Billy, was currently unscrewing the leg off of the metal frame bed in his cell. He was in trouble. Deep trouble. So much trouble. But instead of focusing on the big picture - like say the fact that he'd been kidnapped by someone and bad things were probably going to happen to him because of it - Billy was focusing on a much smaller detail.
Like the fact that there was no way Alice, the royal family's PR person, could put a positive spin on this.
He could practically see the head lines now. "PRINCE WILLIAM KIDNAPPED FROM NOTORIOUS GAY CLUB." "HOMOSEXUAL ONE NIGHT STAND LEADS TO KIDNAPPING." "SHOCKING TRUTH: PRINCE WILLIAM LIKES COCK." The tabloids were going to have a field day.
Being outed to his family by the press? Yeah, it was pretty much going to be the icing on the fail cake that was this whole incident.

Drabble 4: In which Billy and Teddy travel all this way just to wind up at home
"You know, I did not come to Las Vegas just to wind up back in in New York," Billy said. Teddy pulled his eyes away from the giant castle across the street to ask what Billy meant. Then he saw it. The Statue of Liberty. The Empire State building. Grand Central Terminal. The Chrysler Building.
The large roller coaster on the roof?
"Something's missing," Teddy said.
"Not enough pigeons."
Teddy considered Billy's response before agreeing. "Not enough pigeons." Movement caught his eye, and Teddy looked over just in time to see a guy remove the wallet from a tourist's back pocket. "I see the pick-pockets are the same though. I'll be right back."
"As if I'd let you go without back up," Billy said softly as he followed Teddy through the crowd.
***
Drabble 5: In which Teddy is kind of a bastard, and Billy has no idea who he's really talking to.
Teddy watched as Billy poked unenthusiastically at the kr'llac fruit sitting in the bowl in front of him. The corners of his mouth wanted to twitch upwards, but he resolutely made his face as bland as possible. "You don't want to try any of the fruit?"
"Fruit? You mean they're not giant insect eggs?" Billy asked. The skins of the fruit were pale and translucent, each piece slightly oblong with no blemishes. They really did look like eggs.
"Who told you that?" Teddy inquired. The trick was to seem just interested enough. Too much indifference would only make the human suspicious.
"Dork the VIII. Who else?" Billy made a face as he picked up one of the fruit. It was ripe and Teddy knew from experience that it squished slightly. That didn't stop Billy from determinedly peeling it. He popped the fruit in his mouth, then closed his eyes as sweetness flooded his tongue. "This is actually pretty good."
Teddy felt his mouth go dry. He wasn't sure if Billy should never make that face again, or should always make that face. Preferably with Teddy's help. Billy didn't seem to notice Teddy's sudden interest. "I swear, the Emperor just enjoys tormenting me.""
Kind of like you torment me. Teddy made sure his voice was steady before he responded. "I can't imagine why."
