i NEED to see more of that au where future edd takes the present gang away from tord. like omg what does red leader do, what does tord do???
Thinking about it is so funny to me. Like Future!Edd won't explain a single thing to any of the present gang so for a while they're just like. "This might as well just happen." Meanwhile present Tord freaks out since Edd missed their monthly phone call and isn't answering his phone at all. Red Leader freaks out because his lovers disappear lmao.
Thank you so much for helping me flesh this au out <3
______________________________________
Edd wasn't answering his phone. It'd been a few days and Tord had been trying non-stop. This wasn't like him at all. Whenever Edd missed their agreed time, he always sent a text to apologize and explain what was going on. Or if his phone was destroyed, he'd send a text from one of the other's phones.
All Tord has gotten from his friend was silence.
It unnerved him to no end. Not for the first time, he cursed himself for moving out, for not figuring out a way to make things work with his growing army while still being able to live with his ex-boyfriends.
Though he had heard recently of a new partner.....
Tord shook his head. Not important, he thought.
"Uh, boss?"
Tord snapped his head up from his phone. Pat stood awkwardly in his makeshift office doorway.
"Paul's been trying to call you this past hour. He said, um, that a large man has been chasing your friends around with a gun? He also said that all of them have disappeared and that he can't find them."
Tord felt nauseous with anger and fear. He knew Paul had been trying to call him but he ignored him in favor of trying to reach Edd. Now he really wished he didn't.
Dialing Paul's number, he quickly shooed Pat away and yanked his curtains shut. It wouldn't do shit to stop anyone from hearing if they passed by, but it gave him a nice sense of privacy. And no one could stare at him if he shattered some of the things in his office.
"What's the situation?" he barked out.
"Large man in a trench coat and green hoodie was waving around a gun at Edd," Paul responded immediately. "Kept going on about being Edd from the future and needing to kill him. He saw your friend's new partner and went quiet. Before I could even do anything, he lunged for all four of them and they disappeared in a flash."
Disappeared....?
Tord couldn't stop shaking. "Keep searching! I want updates every hour."
"Got it boss."
He hung up the phone and sat numbly in his chair. With a scream, he picked up his landline phone and threw it across the room.

"So um. What's the plan?" Tom asked. "I thought you wanted to kill Edd."
Edward, as they had dubbed Edd's future self, didn't look up from the stove. They watched as he poked at the big pot containing spaghetti.
"Uh, hello?" you ask. "Is this an elaborate murder plan? Did you get tired of holding a gun? Also, we can't eat spaghetti tied up."
"Yeah! Untie us!"
Matt wriggled in his ropes and promptly fell off his chair. "Ow!"
Edward sighed. He dropped the spoon and turned around to heft Matt back into his seat.
"Knock it off or I'll leave you on the floor."
He went back to the pot.
"I say we heckle him," Edd whispered.
"Your home sucks," Matt said.
"Yeah I second that. This is a shithole and I mean that lightly."
Edward sighs again. "I am very aware of that Tom. Being on the run from Red Leader doesn't exactly give me a lot of options for places to live."
Since his back is turned to the four of you, he misses the questioning looks you give each other.
"Ok, now I'm going to untie your arms enough that you can eat. Make any sudden movements and you'll fall on the floor. Then you lose all being untied privileges."
