#day 17 roadrunner

[thesconesyard]

Yeehaw!

When the Cactus Blooms

17. Roadrunner

By the next morning the fire had passed. Smoke could still be seen, but it was to the northeast of the ranch. Chekov shifted in his chair at breakfast. Something was different at the table and he didn’t know what it was. He looked over and caught Sulu’s eye. Finally his friend looked back and Chekov gave him a questioning look.

It clicked a moment later as he followed Sulu’s eyes looking pointedly at Mr. Scott and then the doctor. They had been the ones to report the fire the previous evening. Chekov wondered briefly where they had been before they had come back to the house, then he decided he didn’t want to know. And besides, from the light dancing in the doctor’s eyes as he looked over at Mr. Scott, Chekov really didn’t want to know.

“We’ll need to ride out in a while,” Jim said from the head of the table. “Make sure there aren’t any small fires still burning.”

“And if there’s someone out there?” Dr. McCoy asked.

“Well, we need to find that out anyway,” Jim said.

The doctor frowned. “Seems like a job for Pike and his men.”

“It’ll be fine Bones,” Jim waved him off.

“The canyon is long with many twists and turns; it would make a decent hideout for those who don’t want to be found,” Mr. Spock said.

Next to him Chekov sensed Jaylah grow tense. Before he could say something comforting to her the doctor spoke again.

“It’s alright sweetheart,” Dr. McCoy said gently. “We’ll find who did it.”

“Thank you Doctor,” Jaylah said and threw a grim smile at him.

Chekov gripped his fork tightly as he took his next bite, trying to control his expression and not glare at the doctor.

“The tracks I found are probably gone now,” Sulu said thoughtfully.

“Maybe it will be easier to find now,” Miss Uhura said. “The fire will have burned away shrubs and trees. Less places to hide.”

“I will go with you,” Chekov said quickly, looking up the table at Jim.

Jim looked back at him with a concerned face.

“Ok,” he finally agreed. “Anyone else?”

Sulu and Mr. Spock both volunteered.

Jim looked at the doctor and Mr. Scott with an amused smile. “You two don’t mind getting the rest of the work done?”

“Nae lad, it’s fine,” Mr. Scott said and smiled down the table at Dr. McCoy.

Chekov caught a knowing smile on Miss Christine’s face.

“I can help,” Jaylah spoke up.

“I’m not sure if—”

“Please?” Jaylah asked, turning to look at the doctor’s protest. “I can work.”

Dr. McCoy looked at her for a long moment in silence.

“Let her,” Keenser finally said into the silence.

“Alright,” the doctor relented. “But try to stay out of the sun and if you feel tired, you rest.”

Jaylah nodded. “I promise.”

Chekov lifted his hat and wiped at his forehead. They were spread out trying to cover as much ground as possible. Sulu was off to Chekov’s left, distant, but still close enough to hear if one of them called out. Mr. Spock and Jim were to his right.

The fire had burned a wide swath, and the ground below his horse was blackened. All the bushes, the weeds, the few grasses and trees were the same. From a few spots smoke still rose, but each time Chekov got close there was no remaining flame.

It was a good few miles to the canyon, but they didn’t hurry. A strange lump in a tree caught Chekov’s attention, and he urged his horse towards it. From horseback, it was easy for him to look as he got close. He let out a soft noise when he did. It was the remains of a nest. Chekov looked around himself as if the parent birds would fly at him for peeking, but no birds sang anywhere nearby.

Four cracked and blackened eggs sat in the blackened nest. Chekov muttered a curse under his breath. A tragedy and a waste was a fire across the land like this.

Before too much longer they reached the canyon and Jim called them all together again.

“There are tracks here,” said Mr. Spock.

Jim’s hand patted the gun hanging at his hip, but he shook his head.

“No telling how many. We’ll have to tell Pike and come back. Four of us could be outnumbered.”

Chekov secretly agreed in his heart. He had no desire to fight anyone, but he would if pressed. And if it was the gang who had attacked Jaylah’s family, he would gladly take them on. They had to know if her family was safe.

They stuck closer together for the ride back, closer to where Chekov had ridden. He noticed a fluttering around the tree with the burnt nest. It took form as he got closer. A roadrunner.

“Oh,” he exclaimed to himself. “Poor thing.”

“That a roadrunner?” Sulu asked next to him, squinting forward.

“It’s nest burned,” Chekov said sadly. “Four eggs.”

The bird was scrambling around the base of the tree and crying out. If it noticed the four men and horses approaching it didn’t care.

“Wonder where it’s mate is,” Sulu said.

“It’s like Jaylah,” Chekov suddenly said. “It’s missing its family.”

Sulu looked at him and slowly nodded.

“Is it hurt?”

Chekov shrugged and stopped his horse. He hopped down and handed the reins to Sulu. Carefully he approached the tree and the roadrunner.

“Hey,” he said gently. “I’m sorry your family is gone.” He moved slowly closer. The bird cocked its head at him. Chekov held his palms out to the bird. He crouched as he stopped a couple feet from the tree.

“What’cha- oh,” Jim said as he and Mr. Spock caught up.

To Chekov’s surprise the roadrunner moved towards him and turned its head, examining his hands.

“We’ve lost family too,” he continued in his soft voice. “I’m sorry for what happened to yours.”

The bird regarded him for another moment, then jumped onto his arm.

“Oh!”

“You’ve got a friend,” Sulu laughed.

Carefully Chekov brought his other hand over and touched the roadrunner. It ducked its head at his face, gave a shake, then jumped off and ran away as quick as it could. Two feathers were left behind drifting to the ground in front of Chekov. He picked them up carefully and stood. The bird was already a dot in the distance.

“That was something,” Jim said.

Chekov made an acknowledging noise as he tucked the two feathers into his pocket and smiled. He already knew what he wanted to do with the feathers.

And The Roads Will Run Ever Onwards – Sarah Connor/Kate Riley

A/N: Day 17 of @yeehawgust . Some more Treminator. That's Terminator meets @thetremorssaga .

Silence had fallen for a while when Kate settled beside Sarah on the bonnet of the car, pulled up off the land onto rocks, just in case. Here, they watch and they wait. People had been talking about a recently returned roadrunner and Kate had wanted to see if El Blanco ate it. Sarah had been sure it wouldn’t be… but now they wanted to see who was right. The roadrunner flies down the road at speed, feet landing and rising so fast it’s kicking up dust. Blanco roars after it but when she breaks through the dust of the road, the roadrunner is long gone. “Told you…” Sarah laughs, glancing at Kate with a smile.

Yeehawgust 2023 - Day 17

Roadrunner

Word Count - 584

Heavy footfall echoed throughout the building. The small group all pushed themselves against the wall, out of site of the stranger stomping around. Leroy had lifted a bandana over his face. Boone pulled his rifle from his back, crouching by the door. Arcade gripped his pistol. ED-E had been given a silencing glare. Izzy gripped their pistol. Jules went to the window, judging the fall from this height.

Outside, a small contingent of men stood. Each sporting a rifle of some kind and pistols. Jules kept themself as out of sight as the men surveyed the ruins around them. She couldn’t deny their strategy, send one man in to clear a building and have the others outside in case anyone happened to be inside and happened to try and do a runner. And if the man never left the building then they had found their bounty.

The room fell silent as the footsteps got closer. Stopping at every door to inspect the room. They were doing a full sweep, very little chance of escape. As Jules made their way into the corner, adjacent from the door, they took one last glance out of the window and into the distance. In that brief glance they saw the shape of men who’d cleared the other building in the old town. The group was outnumbered. In a way Jules had never seen before. Jules knew that the group could take them, however they looked NCR, that would just bring more attention to the group than was necessary. They had to get out, preferably without being seen but definitely without shooting them. 

Jules made his way over to Boone, giving him a quick tap on the shoulder then waved their hand in a ‘Don’t do it’ gesture. He understood and backed off. 

“Do we have a plan?” Leroy whispered. 

“Kinda. If you count running as a plan.” 

“We run? Really?” 

The footsteps got closer. 

“You got a better idea?” 

“Yeah, we shoot our way out.” “No unless you want the bounty on your head to get higher, or for it to fully extend to your acquaintances.” 

Leroy rolled his eyes, sighed. Then nodded in agreement. “We take the window?” He questioned 

“No.” And with that Jules threw themself through the door. 

The men had expected a full frontal assault, or a leap from the window. They had not expected for the group to run out of the door and directly at them. None of the men had their weapons ready. They fumbled as 4 people and a robot barreled past them out into the desert. 

A moment later gunfire filled the air. The group shot back, hoping to scare some of the hunters off, while the hunters tried to hit 5 moving targets. Bullets whizzed past as they ran. Leroy and Izzy took the lead, with Arcade and Boone closely behind. Jules brought up the back. They all stumbled up to an old road then quickly crossed it.  An intense pain shot through Jules’ shoulder. They didn’t stop. 

The group ran. They ran until they couldn’t. The desert became a blur. They had no destination, just away.

As they began to stop, the world didn’t for Jules. They had survived worse than a bullet to the shoulder. But that hadn't stopped the bloodloss, heat, and loss of adrenaline from causing them to become closely acquainted with the floor. Jules saw the world fade out. Everyone else saw Jules suddenly fall, not long after they’d shaken the bounty hunters.

[belphegor1982]

New pinned post!

The links at the top of my blog don’t work on mobile, so if you’re curious:

What I look like (photos and the odd video of my dumb face)

What I sound like (same, but with audio clips of my dumb voice)

My art links (my art blog, Flash Rogues art blog (dormant for now), and where to find me on AO3, DeviantArt and FFnet)

My tags (only accessible via browser; some of the links are broken but you can still use the tags if you copy/paste ‘em after belphegor1982.tumblr.com/tagged/[tag name])

My OCs (general OC tag)

My fics  (with links and summaries, updated when I post things - also doesn’t work on mobile but you can find my stuff, fic and art, with the tag #my stuff)

Those of you who like a small Venn diagram of Justice League Unlimited/DCAU and my fics might remember a collection of ficlets back in 2010-2012, called Snapshot Collection. Well, a while ago I finished the long process of posting them on AO3! The entire series is there and appropriately called DC Snapshots. It has a collection of 200 words per work on average snapshots and then a dozen slightly longer works.

So, having started on 16th September 2022 and finishing (with a hiatus) on 17 July 2023, here’s Snapshot Collection!

Alternate list with summaries under the cut to make it dash-friendly, since I’m pinning this:

Ear Worm (Superman can honestly say that he loves music. But he likes a song a lot less if it’s continuously hummed while he’s on monitor duty.)

Encounter (When Batman meets the man Wally introduces as his uncle, he can’t help a slightly puzzling feeling of déj�� vu.)

Fear (Wally hasn’t had his old stuck-in-super-speed nightmare for a while now – not since he defeated “Brainthor”. But he doesn’t know what he would give to have it back.)

First Date (The first time Linda went on a date with Wally West, something bugged her throughout the major part of the night.)

Games (Something John can never quite figure out is why on Earth Flash keeps picking the green Brawlin’ Bot whenever he manages to get Green Lantern or J’onn to play with him.)

Infuriating (“Wouldja stand still so I can properly kill you?!” Captain Boomerang yelled, thoroughly aggravated.)

Middle (When people talk about the ‘Big Three’ – Superman, Batman and Diana – and the ‘Less-Big Three’ – John, Flash and Hawgirl – they always seem to leave out J’onn.)

Nobody Dies (When Batman hears that a member of Flash’s “Rogue Gallery” was killed, he shows up in Central to check on the kid.)

Received Idea (It’s a well-known notion that if Flash can get to Italy for a pizza and China for Chinese takeout in a blink if he wants. Not exactly false, but not exactly right either.)

Selfless (Wally often hears people pointing out that selflessness is the chief virtue of a superhero. He disagrees. Having a lot of self had never kept him from doing the right thing.)

And then there’ll be the (longer) one-shots. I tried to put them in chronological order, even those where the timeline wasn’t that clear. Here’s what I came up with:

(Justice League)

Nickname (The first time that Flash calls him ‘Bats’, they're in the middle of a fight, and Batman has other things on his mind. The second time is another matter.)

Onomatopoeia (Diana doesn’t understand why Flash seems to mistake Batman for a disgruntled coyote, so Hawkgirl explains the subtleties of the Roadrunner cartoons.)

Gone (set during “A Better World”) (It’s been two years since the White House Incident and the change in the Justice Lords, and Lois wonders where Clark has gone.)

Prerogative (Flash wonders how come they almost never go to Gotham. When he stops to think about it, GL knows the answer.)

Company (set after “Eclipsed”) (At the end of the day, Flash reflects, it could have been a lot worse. Now, if only he could get some sleep…)

Mother (set during “Hereafter”) (For the first time since she was banished from the sunny shores of Themyscira, Diana feels cold.)

Dinner (It may not amount to much for Lex Luthor and his ilk, but tonight the Ultra-Humanite had everything: a perfect dinner with the most beautiful woman in the entire history of art.)

(Justice League Unlimited)

Return (Each step is hard, and every stare is painful. But Shayera Hol holds her head high and keeps her back straight.)

Sidekick (Ollie shook his head. “When did I become the uncool, Bruce?” Batman’s response was short and curt. “When you got yourself a sidekick.”)

Song (set after “This Little Piggy”) (Sure, Batman had specified to Zatanna that she couldn’t keep the video Circe recorded of his little jazz number – but he hadn’t said anything about the soundtrack.)

Draw (set before final scene of “Divided We Fall”) (In the aftermath of the Cadmus and “Brainthor” crisis, Superman asks Flash a question that’s puzzled him for years.)

Cape (“I’ve always wondered, Clark… You change into Superman in phone booths, right?… Where the hell do you keep your cape in that suit?”)

Mission (set during/before “I Am Legion”) (Copperhead and Atomic Skull can’t get caught. They’re on a mission from… you know the guy.)

Team (set during “Destroyer”) (Giganta felt herself blushing a tiny little bit as she climbed the Eiffel Tower and crushed a handful of Parademons. Darn it, but Flash had a cute smile.)

Glasses (Lois decides she’s had enough pretending, so she intentionally lets a not-so-innocent remark slip. Status quo be damned.)

Door (As a kid, knocking on a door and running and hiding always seemed the funniest thing to Wallace Rudolph West.)

Perfect Picture (If you were to ask Jimmy Olsen whether there are pictures of his he loves most, he’d say that everyone has its importance. But one in particular will always make him smile.)

Huh, look at that - it’s pretty balanced. 

I hope you like ‘em 💜

Not long after they volunteered for the Hydra experiments and the rest is history. Except in this story, Pietro doesn't die. Instead of shielding Clint and the boy, he rushes them to the boat while his sisters and Phoenix took care of Ultron. He's an extrovert through and through though he does like his alone time, very flirty, confident, sarcastic and protective of his girls and those he cares for.

@thesoulofthesea

Full Name; Cordelia Ara Odinsdottir Other Names; Cora, Lia, Ara, Goddess of the Ocean Age; 1400+ Species; Goddess Sexuality; Bisexual Zodiac Sign; Gemini Face Claim; Ashley Benson Universe; MCU About; She was born, along with her twin brother Cedar (one of my darlin' @chaos-awakens oc's) not long after Odin brought Loki to Asgard, most of her upbringing she spent time with all of her brothers, but she's always favored Cedar and Loki. Once they were old enough Lia and Cedar left Asgard and moved to Norway, near the ocean and woods so they could both find a sense of peace. If she's not in Norway she's traveling around visiting the oceans all around the world. She's more of an introvert than anything though still enjoys going out occasionally, very sweet and friendly, also pretty calm unless she's protecting the people she cares about.

@noteviljustbroken

Full Name; Nikolai Nathaniel Novak Other Names; Nik, Niko, Death's Soldier Age; 123 Species; Heretic Super Soldier Sexuality; Bisexual Zodiac Sign; Taurus Face Claim; Daniel Sharman Universe; TVDU to MCU About; Born and raised in Louisiana, grew up okay besides being bullied for being a siphon at least until his mother passed away and his father became abusive. The only thing he had was his best friend Elyza whom he eventually followed into war and turned just like she did, making him a heretic. He also followed her after the war on a ripper spree (her, not him) before she was caught by Marcel. He fled before he could be captured too though he was caught states away by a coven of witches who sent him to another world. It was there after entering a Hydra base that he was turned into a super soldier before fleeing again. Before turning he was way more introverted but now, he's more an extrovert though he does still have his days. He can be impulsive and unpredictable, sometimes dangerously so. As well as super cocky and confident, and he's also a major flirt and extremely charming.

@thelittleredwolf

Full Name; Seraphina Rose Ward Other Names; Ser, Sera, Phina, Rose, Little Red Wolf, Little Red, Red Wolf Age; 27 Species; Tribrid Sexuality; Pansexual Zodiac Sign; Scorpio Face Claim; Madelaine Petsch Universe; TVDU About; Grew up relatively normal, friends with the Mystic Falls Gang but closet to the Lockwood's as her Dad was best friends with theirs. After her parents passed when she was a young teen she moved in with them though they all drifted apart. She started smoking and partying more until she activated her curse and then she isolated herself besides spending time with her closet friends, Elias & Jeremy Gilbert and her cousin, Reagan. She was Klaus' third successful hybrid, though different than the rest which is probably why they became so close. Years later after a run in with Kai Parker she learned more about her family history, her Dad had been a Crescent wolf and her Mom had been a witch. She's also an extroverted introvert, confident, sarcastic, very protective of the people she cares about, loyal, somewhat of a flirt, can be untrusting towards new people.

@sociopathicheretic

Full Name; Malachai Silas Parker Other Names; Kai, The Sociopath, Homicidal Maniac Age; 50 Species; Heretic Sexuality; Pansexual Zodiac Sign; Aries Face Claim; Chris Wood Universe; TVDU About; Before the murders and the prison world he wasn't a bad kid, he acted out sometimes but not as often as you might think. Having other siphons in his family helped though all of them still felt like outsiders from the rest of the family. At some point he just gave up trying with his parents and other siblings and instead of reacting to anything they said or did he kept quiet and acted as if he didn't care though the rage was slowly building inside. Besides the other siphons he was close with he'd met a young witch and the two quickly became friends, and then something more before everything happened and he was sent to the prison world. He never knew what happened to girl he'd started to have actual feelings for until decades later when he managed to get out and found out from her daughter, Seraphina, that'd she passed away a few years prior. It wasn't long after that both of them found out her Mom had another daughter, his daughter, Paisley. He's also an extroverted introvert though leans more introverted. He's impulsive, unpredictable and can be quite cocky when he wants. Lives for chaos and is very sarcastic, always finding a joke in serious moments. He can flirt when he wants to though he's usually just himself and that works well enough.

@thexoutcast

Full Name; Valerie Mae Henderson Other Names; Val, Mae, Maes Age; 24 Sexuality; Bisexual Zodiac Sign; Aries Face Claim; Willa Holland Universe; Stranger Things About; Growing up she'd always been a troublemaker though she tried to keep up a "good girl" act for her parents and younger siblings, after losing her Dad and moving from her hometown where she had a few friends and was bullied somewhat to Hawkins where she knew no one and was bullied severely the teenager completely shut in on herself and spent less and less time at home. The only friend she had for a while who she meant not long after moving there was Eddie Munson and the two were practically inseparable. He taught her how to play DnD and more songs on the guitar, and she taught him songs she knew and how to play the piano (that went about as well as you'd think-). When Will went missing and she felt like the police weren't doing enough she went looking for him herself. She eventually found him, though that was after she'd been dragged by the Demogorgon to the Upside Down herself. After they both eventually made it home safe Val became closer with everyone though didn't really tell anyone about what she went through. She's an introverted extrovert, sarcastic, honest, very protective, especially of her siblings, can be very guarded, flirty, and adventurous but cautious after everything.

Full Name; Jonathan Ross Byers Other Names; Jon, Jonny, Byers Age; 23 Sexuality; Pansexual Zodiac Sign; Virgo Face Claim; Charlie Heaton Universe; Stranger Things About; Growing up he didn't have the best home life because of his dad and being bullied at school though he had a few good friends, the closest of those being Eddie Munson and Elie Henderson. After everything that happened with Will and all that came after it, he shut in on himself a lot more and started smoking weed, even before he moved to California. When he moved, he made friends with Argyle, or more so Argyle kind of just took Jonathan under his wing and introduced him to his other friend, Stella. After going back to Hawkins he ended up breaking things off with Nancy and then returned to California, spending half his time there and half back home until he completely moved back. Though he still visits from time to time to see Argyle and Stella and they visit Hawkins to see him. He's definitely an introvert but has his moments, is pretty quiet especially around people he doesn't know or isn't comfortable with but when he is around his friends and can be himself, he really shows it, and he's also very protective and caring of the people he loves.

The Family and TM - BROCKHAMPTON

I’ve been thinking about how I want to do this for the past couple days and I figure it’s probably best to do a double review. Flashback to the beginning of the year when brockhampton posts on twitter that they’re taking an indefinite hiatus out of the blue. You knew this was going to happen eventually, but not this soon. Then they come back to announce the final album, for real this time, because they’ve done final albums before.

Running up to the release of The Family, I held this small inkling in my head that it won’t actually be their last album, it’ll just be their last with RCA. That’s not the case of course, they’re actually done.

The show is over, get out your seats. Get the fuck up.

The Family is a comprehensive look as told by Kevin on how the band fell apart, and how his addiction and demons drew this rift between him and everyone else, and it’s profoundly sad. He mentions so many times that they told themselves they would do this forever, but “forever only lasts as long as this song.” I so badly wish it could last forever, so badly, but I guess all good things have to end.

Over the years, brockhampton have been with me like a good friend through troubled waters. At 17 and 18 in 2017, I had them all year, having brand new music every few months to bump in my car at full volume with the saturation trilogy. In 2018 during an incredibly difficult point in my life, I had iridescence to turn to when times were feeling particularly bleak. That cemented it as my favorite of their albums even now. 2019, when I was also extremely depressed, I had Ginger. The vulnerability of it kept me grounded. Then they come back in 2021 with roadrunner, bringing some stability back to my life in the middle of the pandemic. It seems like they’ve always been there.

TM came out the day after The Family. I imagine it stands for The Memories, since a lot of the songs on here sound like finished snippets that they’ve teased over the years. Listening to that this past Friday night took me right back to those nights in 2017. The wave of nostalgia hit me, as did the realization. The realization that I’m going to miss this so bad. I’m going to miss these drops and I’m going to miss these boys. I think I understand how people felt when One Direction broke up now, sort of.

I’m not going to give these albums a number, but I wanted to take a minute to talk about how much these albums and this band have meant to me over the past 5 years. I hope the next chapter is everything they said it would be, and I hope their solo stuff is everything they could hope for. Goodbye brockhampton, thank you for the memories.
