Summary: Where did Ben go after Legendâs and before visiting Countessâ sanctuary?
Characters and pairings: Soldier Boy/Ben x female character, The Legend
Words: 2900
Tags/warnings: explicit, rough-ish sex
Authorâs notes: love and thank you to @cracksinthewalls and @wayward-and-worn for pre-reads and poking. â„ïž

âGonna have to burn those clothes, the stink alone...â the Legend mutters, trying not to stare â but heâs right fucking there, stalking through his penthouse like the Ghost of Glory Days Past.
As the former SVP of Hero Management follows the trail of ratty trainers and a filthy tracksuit, he retrieves his phone from his pocket to dial housekeeping and anything else his guest might want.
âSo, uh, yeah, help yourself to whatever.â His master bath is cavernous, modern, and sophisticated. The tension that seizes the thick shoulders of his unexpected visitor roils the air. Luckily, he mastered the perfect tone to ease that familiar tension decades ago. âStraight ahead there, just hit the second button on the left, youâll like it.â
Ben rumbles a deep growl before the hot spray of water and billowing steam enshrouds his immaculate shape.
Soldier Boy is alive as a shadow of his former self, traumatized by whatever heâs been through. No matter how this experience has changed the soldier, whether it be a knock-down or an epic fucking glow-up, the Legend salivates over the public relations extravaganza Ashley Barrett is about to enjoy.
âIâll order ya somethinâ to eat,â he calls over his shoulder as he turns to exit the bathroom. âGetcha a beer and a little pick-me-up.â
Ben closes his eyes and breathes in and out in the moist heat. He lets his lungs expand and contract, feels his chest grow heavy then light. He tries not to think of the screams and the smoke and debris from moments before, only whatâs in front of him at the moment.
Once heâs able to imagine something less terrifying than the aftermath of whatever he exacted upon those innocent people, he opens his eyes and begins to clean himself.
Wheeeee!
Weâre not getting nearly enough Soldier Boy in the show, so here - have some more!
How to Stay Cool Without A/C
A lot of Northerners were very kind during the freeze in Texas this winter with tips on how to stay warm for people who had lost heat. This is an attempt to repay that favor for people in the Pacific Northwest and other northerly locations who are facing dangerous heatwaves without built-in A/C. My qualifications to give this advice are that I was a summer camp attendee and counselor with no A/C for many summers in humid-ass central Texas with highs over 100F basically every day. Hopefully some of it will be of use to somebody who isnât used to the heat.
1) PUT ICE WATER IN YOUR BODY. Ice water is your best friend and the #1 way to drop your body temp. Drink more than you think you need (like, at least a half-gallon a day and closer to a gallon or more if you have to be outside doing manual work all day) to cool your insides down and stay hydrated. Have some bananas, trail mix, or a sports drink to help replace the electrolytes youâre sweating out and keep you from getting cramps, but try to have most of your fluid intake be water. I used to take a giant water bottle, fill it part way with water, and freeze it on its side so the ice would slowly melt over the course of the day and my water would stay cold longer.
2) PUT ICE WATER ON YOUR BODY. Cold water, ice, or a damp rag on your head and neck, the backs of your knees, the insides of your elbows, and under your armpits will help you cool down the best, because your blood runs close to the surface in those places. Cold packs designed for injuries or lunchboxes, bags of frozen vegetables, etc. can substitute for ice water as well. Even room-temp water will pull heat away from your body better than body-temp sweat will, especially if itâs humid, so if you donât have enough ice, the sink, bathtub, or hose will do fine. Dipping your feet into cool water helps a ton as well if you have to sit and work and donât want your clothes to be wet.
3) WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO GET SO MUCH ICE? To make sure you have enough ice to last you the weekend, especially through a potential power failure, I recommend getting a cooler (even one of the cheap styrofoam ones is fine in a pinch) and ~10lbs of ice from the big coolers at most gas stations, drug stores, or grocery stores. Try to do this now, before anybody loses power, and store as much in your freezer as you have space for to keep it from melting. You can use it for drinking or to keep your food cold in a power failure. You can use it for a party later if you donât end up needing it during the heat wave, but you will probably be very happy you had it.
4) AIR FLOW. Being inside a room with the windows closed is the worst possible place to be if you donât have A/C, because glass windows create a greenhouse effect and the hot air canât escape. If at all possible, find a shaded place outside where you can catch any possible breeze. If not, open all your windows and, if itâs safe, doors so you can get a cross-breeze. Hopefully you have window screens to keep pets and kids in and bugs out. If not, youâre gonna have to do your own risk assessment. Fans of all sizes and descriptions are your friend; ceiling fans should be set to spin counterclockwise in summer. Even if you have A/C, finding or making a handheld fan will be worthwhile for when you have to venture outside. If you arenât in a situation where you need to conserve ice, blowing air over a cooler full of ice will give you a makeshift A/C.Â
5) SHADE. You will probably immediately notice that direct sunlight is a miserable place to be when itâs super hot. Find or make a shaded location, and donât be afraid to move around to avoid the sun as the day goes on. Stay on the shady side of the sidewalk whenever you walk someplace. Try to shade your windows as best you can without obstructing airflow using blinds, curtains, shutters, etc. especially if theyâre directly in the path of the sun. Do not be a jerk to your neighbors if their shade solutions are ugly. If you can get a shade for your car windshield, I highly recommend it, as the steering wheel, dashboard, seatbelts, and even seats can quickly become too hot to touch in a sealed car and will hold that heat for a long time.
6) CLOTHING. Light-colored, loose clothing that is as close to 100% cotton or linen as you can find is your friend. It doesnât necessarily have to be short as long as itâs breathable. You will sweat through anything you wear, so I personally prefer only wearing machine-washable stuff. Sun hats, sunscreen, sunglasses, aloe gel for sunburns, mosquito repellent, anti-chafing supplies, etc are all worth looking into if you arenât used to spending time in the heat.
7) TIMING. Try to stay out of the sun and avoid doing anything strenuous in the middle of the day when the heat is the worst. If you have a choice, plan to be more active early in the morning and late at night when the temperature is more bearable, and take a break in the middle of the afternoon.
Hereâs a graphic from the CDC about how to recognize heat-related illnesses and what to do about them. I will add to this that if itâs hot and you stop sweating, you are getting to a dangerous level of dehydration and need to drink something BEFORE you start having more serious problems.
With all the heatwaves this needs to go around again.

Hereâs the thing about LGBT+ vs. Queer.
Iâm ace, nonbinary, and demiromantic. With LGBT+ Iâm included in the plus. And Iâm happy to be included! Indeed, folks pointedly using LGBT without the plus makes my hackles raise.
But. I am sick of being in the fucking plus sign like an afterthought.
And no, adding more to the alphabet soup doesnât help that feeling. Thereâs a limit to what human brains can cram in. I donât think itâs reasonable to make folks say an increasingly long acronym every time they mention the community. I appreciate the effort, but youâre always going to either leave someone out or cram them into the miscellaneous field the plus sign represents.
With Queer Iâm just there, alongside my queer siblings. The details may be different, but Iâm just as queer as a cis allo gay man or a trans allo straight woman or a genderfuck individual.
We already tried to meet folks who donât like queer as a word halfway with MOGAI. Marginalized Orientations, Gender Alignment, and Intersex. Itâs inclusive without using the Dreaded Q-Word. Surely, if the objection was to âqueerâ as a Terribly Traumatizing Word (just like, oh, every other word used for us: âgayâ was the slur of choice where I was growing up), MOGAI would be the perfect solution, yes?
And yet, that was thrown back into our faces and turned into an insult. So, at that point, I said fuck it and fuck you. Iâm queer, and if its inclusivity makes you mad, good.
Look at his tan. Looks great. The lightingâs right. Maybe Stevie should take a few candid shots and see what happens.

US SUICIDE PREVENTION HOTLINE IS CHANGING ITS NUMBER
Taking effect July 2022, the US Suicide Prevention Hotline will change from 800-273-8255 to the three digit code of 988. Especially with families and communities reeling from back to back tragedies, it is super important to share this information!
Repeat: Starting July 2022, the US Suicide Prevention Hotline will be 988
Important add-ons, though, as someone whoâs done policy work on this:Â
Itâs July 16, not just the start of July.
988 can not only be used as the suicide hotline, but for any sort of mental health or substance use crisis situation. As opposed to 911, the goal of 988 is that when dispatch is necessary, youâll be met with a trained crisis response team rather than the police. The police will only be involved if there is an immediate threat to safety, which has almost never occurred in pilot programs - in one of the most well-known, Denver STAR, (which a lot of yâall seem to be familiar with) the police has actually never been called for backup. Weâre hoping that this is going to get more individuals directed towards help rather than a prison cell.Â
Uhm yeah Iâll add more stuff if I can think of anything.
Thank you for the added information. Reblog this version as well, folkz.
