* REBEL / SOLDIER

Eggsy Unwin. Galahad. Are we going to stand here all day, or are we going to fight?

(¸.• ♛ → “That’s fine, if you want we can warm first, like a trial” She says with a small shrug now looking at him.

   it really had been a while since eggsy had just relaxed and done something for fun. pool had been a game he had enjoyed before. not that he would go about changing everything that had happened. “sounds good to me. you’ll probably still kick my ass.”

[galahadsjr]

darkvlght:

(¸.• ♛ → “Would you like to play?” She asked not looking at the person that was near her “I must to say, I’m pretty good at pool” The girl says now pointing out to the pool table.

    “count me in on this game.” eggsy flashed a small smile as he approached the pool table. “gotta admit, been a while since i’ve been able to play myself.”

“Eggsy.” She repeated, without so much as raising an eyebrow. Most names in this strange, textured world sounded bizarre to her. The voices, too, were often altered and strange. Eggsy’s voice had a more familiar sound than most. “I’m Myrcella.”

   well, at least she was able to pronounce it right. that was a bonus. most people never really got it right on their first try. which he completely understood. the name was an odd one. “nice to meet ya’, myrcella. can’t say i’ve heard that name before.”

[galahadsjr]

that smile alone was enough to make her feel as if she was fully cured, hazel eyes locking on those dimpled cheeks. there was a moment of embarrassment when she realized that her heart picking up was recorded for the both of them to hear in a series of rushed beeping from the monitor. it was all she could do to hope that eggsy wouldn’t comment on it. “—– I HAVE GREAT TASTE,” roxy wanted to add that a single look at him would tell everyone that she did. his words made her smile herself and she wanted to reach a hand out towards him. still, despite her bravery, she couldn’t muster enough to do so. “i’m glad it’s YOU looking out for me. feels nice,” a pause. “because i’ve never LET anyone do that before.”

instantly, cheeks warmed to a rosy hue at his words and she cursed the beeping that gave away her thrumming heart. “—– IT FEELS GOOD TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT. ALL OF THAT,” a pause and then she finally reached her hand out towards him, hoping he’d get the hint. “you didn’t fail. you’re here, you have my back. and i have YOURS,” her brows furrowed then, both wanting to change the subject and feeling an intense curiosity build up inside of her. “what was our relationship like ? in YOUR memory ?”

   this was just like back home when things had been normal. the two of them could talk like this for hours, go back and forth and just tease one another. doing so had always felt natural ever since they had met. even now, without her memories, it still felt that. eggsy wasn’t about to give up on his quest to help roxy regain the memories she had lost upon coming to this city. “i like to think i know ya’ a bit better than that one,” he teased with a playful wink. she did have great taste, there was no doubt about that one. then again, maybe he was just biased because this was his absolute best friend. he smiled at the words, glancing down for a moment. “you can be stubborn like that. but i’m always here. no matter what.”

   the words really had just slipped out, and before he could backtrack, roxy’s hand was reaching out towards him. slowly, he inched his hand out towards her and took it, threading their fingers together. “always will. and i know you got my back. wouldn’t doubt that one for a second there.” the question made him pause for a moment. “well -- best friends, i would say. we trained together, helped one another. we got real close during the whole training thing. saved the world together. we’re pretty inseparable.”

(¸.• ♛ → “Honestly I can’t believe I’m still here…” A small sigh escaped from her lips, frustrated about all of this “I must to admit though, a break from Riverdale doesn’t hurt after all”

    “you and me both. this place just wants to keep us here, it seems.” he may have been a bit frustrated at the fact he had been unable to figure out why they were being kept here. “can’t say i know where riverdale is. can’t be as bad as being kept here.”

[galahadsjr]

forgetmcnot:

“You’ve got it, Mr…?” She tilted her head, waiting for her question, left half-posed, to be answered.

   “eggsy. egssy unwin,” he responded. his name was odd, as he’d been told numerous times in the past. “what’s your name, then??”

[galahadsjr]

hiddcninplainsight:

eggsy’s guilt hit her in waves and slender, but well muscled arms moved away from her head to cast a hazel gaze over him. it was with a great deal of effort that she managed to let her dry lips curl into something of a teasing smile. “—– it might make you feel better to know that i’m ALWAYS HAPPY to see you these days,” her voice was still frog-like and difficult to sustain, growing strong and then failing in weakness. “even in this hospital bed. it’s a bit less scary knowing you’re here,” the words somehow felt easier to say when her body was as vulnerable as her emotions.

brows furrowed at his words and she attempted shaking her head, wincing at the pain such a simple gesture caused. “you’ve no reason to apologize, eggsy. i’m just a tough as you are — probably SMARTER too,” her tone was teasing, wanting him to know that she was completely certain of his high intelligence. “i could have watched out for myself. just.. BAD LUCK, wasn’t it ?” she asked with a soft sigh, eyes scanning over the worried expression on his face. “but if you need to hear me say that i forgive you, then i FORGIVE you.”

    that brought a smile despite the concern that he was still displaying. knowing that roxy was still fully willing to tease him even now definitely helped out. eggsy had been so worried she may not ever wake up. “guess you don’t got good taste,” he responded, voice light and teasing as he smiled down at her. why roxy had ever bothered with him in the first place, he still didn’t know. she really had been the only one who had his back the entire time through their training. and eggsy had made sure to have her back as well. “as if i was gonna leave you here all alone. you have to have someone looking out for you too, roxy.”

   frowning at the wince, he nearly jumped out of his seat to make sure she was alright. “we both know you’re tougher and smarter than me. you’re a god damn genius, ya’ know. and fearless on top of that. you really are the most amazing person i’ve ever met.” words that just slipped out. he wasn’t thinking, not properly. not when roxy was in the hospital. “i always got your back, but i failed this time.” his expression fell a bit, guilt rising up once more. “means a lot to hear it. i just... i fucked up. but you’re okay. that’s all that matters now.”

[galahadsjr]

“I’m starting a book club.” Myrcella said, smiling at the person who had peered over to look at the sign she was pinning to the cork board. “Do you like to read? Will you join?”

    “i do like a good book. can’t say i’ve had too much time to read on my hands, but this just might be the best opportunity.” it would be something different, at least. “sign me up.”

—– CLOSED STARTER ! [ roxy & eggsy. ]

hazel eyes blinked open slowly, the world appearing as nothing more than a watercolor painting that blended together without discernible shapes. a rhythmic beeping was the first sound that she’d honed in on, eyes closing once more in hope that the her surroundings would take the form of something recognizable when they reopened. lids moving upwards, there was still a blurred aura around everything, but it was quite obvious to her that she was in some form of a hospital room. 

“—– WHERE AM I ?” her voice sounded like the croaking of a frog, likely out of disuse. an attempt to sit up proved to be a horrific idea as her head screamed in agony at the slightest jostling. hands shifted up to cradle the injured sight and a sigh sounded from her lips. it was then that she finally noticed the form in the chair beside the bed and jumped slightly. it was eggsy, of course it was. he’d be able to give her the answers she needed. head resting back against the pillow once more, she turned it to look at him. “what HAPPENED ?”

                                                  ( @galahadsjr ! )

   seeing roxy in that hospital bed was absolutely tearing eggsy apart. things had been going perfectly fine until they had gotten ambushed by a few of those that were infected. even now, he was beating himself up over allowing someone to surprise them. if only he had been paying more attention, or hadn’t allowed himself to let himself get even the slightest bit distracted. perhaps eggsy could have done better -- could have protected her more. not that roxy needed that sort of protection, not when she was the strongest person that he had ever known. but she was the one in the hospital right now, not him. it should have been him.

   staring off at the white walls that tended to be customary for hospitals, eggsy nearly jumped in his seat when he heard the familiar voice. his head turned quickly, eyes widening as he moved from the seat to approach the bed.”you have no idea how happy i am to see you’re awake.” he’d been so worried that roxy would be out far longer than necessary. “someone knocked you out during a fight. i couldn’t do a damn thing, and i’m so sorry i let that happen.”

  Pale hands were buried deep in the pockets of oversized jeans, his posture slightly slouched as he looked around. “ It’s over? No more havin’ to hide and run from weird people? “

   “yeah, man, it’s all over.” at least, it seemed to be. things had worn down from what eggsy had noticed. “don’t gotta hide or run anymore.”

[galahadsjr]

‘‘I don’t think I trust you..’‘ Melinda eyed the stranger with apprehension. She had seen how violent some people had become with whatever poison had come through the town. It didn’t seem to effect everyone including her but she could never be too sure. ‘’Who are you?’’

   “i get that you don’t want to trust just about anyone right now, but i am one of those good guys.” this poison, whatever it was, clearly only affected a certain group of people within the town. eggsy has in his right mind. “name’s eggsy. i’m here to help ya’ out, yeah?? that’s my job.”

[galahadsjr]

—– CLOSED STARTER ! [ roxy & eggsy. ]

there was something natural in running alongside eggsy, the pair remaining consistent despite the insanity that was taking place around them. the weight of the pistol tucked into the holster at her hip felt oddly as if it had always been there, as if she’d always been at his side. a glance was given, hazel eyes settling on the man beside her. even as adrenaline pumped through her veins and a wild heart pounded away inside of her chest, a smile curved rosy lips. 

“—– THERE !” the sandy haired woman called, hand raising to point a slender index finger towards what appeared to be a person huddled behind a wrecked car, seemingly hiding for whatever creature, infected by the toxin, was going to find them next. “we can take them to the safe house three blocks west. it’ll be FASTEST, we know the path is CLEAR.”

                                          ( @galahadsjr / @ragefulheart ! )

   finding roxy had been his first goal when everything had started to go to shit around them. even if she didn’t remember him fully, they could, at the very least, still work together. really, there wasn’t anyone else that eggsy would rather have at his side during this period of mayhem. they were in their zone with this, though. saving the world was their thing, it shouldn’t be too difficult to help out when one city was in trouble.

   head quickly turned to where roxy had been pointing, zeroing in on the person that appeared to be hiding from whoever, or whatever, was trying to get to them. “sounds like a plan to me,” he remarked, glancing over towards her with a small grin. “think we can get there before the infected catches sight of us?? could be fun if we make it a bet. i’ll play distraction, though, if needed. i’d like to say i’m pretty damn good at being a distraction.”

[hiddenemmc]

“If you think this is bad,” Emma holds the ice pack away from her face, showing off a bruise, “you should see the other guy.”

[galahadsjr]

“fuck, that looks pretty bad. guess the other guy looks worse off then you do right now. the hell did you get yourself into??”

[galahadsjr]

hiddcninplainsight:

“—– NOT A JOKE. I PROMISE,” naturally, there was a bit of guilt building up inside of roxy’s chest, manifesting itself as a sort of pressure. there was such uncertainty about her now, a lack of understanding at the way she was feeling just looking at this man. there was a connection here, almost as if she’d FORGOTTEN him and was being reminded upon seeing his face. still, she couldn’t place him — the name was so UNFAMILIAR, but there was something about his voice and the look on his face that made her feel like he was a part of HOME returned to her here in d.c. “i have a diploma. i.. i think you’ve got the WRONG person.”

the woman nodded then, making a mental note to correct herself. “eggsy, right ! i apologize,” her tone was genuine and she shook her head at his question. nothing about that sounded familiar until he said that name, one that had resonated with her earlier and she cut him off from speaking. “did you say LANCELOT ?!” her eyes were wide then, finally believing there may be some honesty to his words as opposed to him just being mad. curiosity was gnawing away at her, the desire for comprehension propelling her words from her mouth.  “what’s… what does that MEAN ? i.. it’s familiar to me, but i can’t remember. can you.. tell me more about it ? help me understand ?”

    any hope that he had left began to fade at the words. eggsy knew there was something off with this place, and it appeared that he finally had his answer. roxy didn’t have any of her memories. something about this place had to have done that. but why was his still intact?? perhaps whatever it was chose those that would lose their memories randomly. whatever it was, eggsy needed to figure it out in order to get her memories back. that had to be his main goal right now. “i really don’t. i would know my best friend anywhere. maybe you don’t have your memories right now, but i got you. i always do. we can get through it.”

   despite the sadness that had crept in, a faint smile managed to form at the apology. “it’s alright,” he responded, waving the entire thing off. with her, he had never minded it. she had corrected herself while the others had used it as a tool to mess with him. yet here they were, and all of the others had failed. they were the last ones standing. “yeah, yeah i did. ‘cause that’s who you are.” watching her carefully, he studied the reaction. maybe this was a good thing. if he triggered something, perhaps all of her memories would come back. “there was a kingsman named that before you, that died. the remaining kingsmen brought in candidates that would go through a series of tests to see who would come out at the end and become one. you succeeded in all of the tests and took the name lancelot. you’re a kingsman, roxy. you helped me save the world.”

[galahadsjr]

hiddcninplainsight:

brows knitted together when the man began to question her and vaguely, she wondered if he was a little bit mad. a brilliant mind whirred, trying to connect the dots of how this man had come to know her. the look in his eyes told that he was being completely genuine, that he felt as if he truly knew her in a way that seemed to be more than a little bit deep. “i’m really sorry. i.. i don’t think i KNOW you. if i’ve forgotten, i apologize..,” a pause and she was eyeing him once more, assessing him for some criteria that she’d not even come to make up yet. even if she didn’t KNOW him, there was some strange familiarity, a connection that drew her into the conversation. “i know how i got here. i came here for university, i’ve been here for YEARS.”

“—– EGGY ?” she asked curiously, a strange sense that she’d asked this same question to this same person before. it was something that shook her to her core and her shaking hands were forced to perch against her hip to end the trembling. “what’s the kingsman ?” she asked him then, expression showing her confusion. “TRAINING ? no. i’ve never seen you in training.. i would remember. i’m there EVERY DAY and i haven’t gotten the spot yet.”

  this could not be happening. no, no it had to be some horrible dream that he was currently living. or a nightmare. that seemed more probable. there was absolutely no way that roxy of all people could actually forget him. or not know who he even was. not after all they had gone through. not after saving the world together. none of this made sense. maybe, somehow, roxy had been hit by an amnesia needle. that was the only thing that could make sense. why it would erase all her memories of him, eggsy didn’t know. bad batch, or something. “you sure this isn’t some sorta joke, yeah?? ‘cause if it is then you gotta get a better sense of humor, roxy. this ain’t funny. you know me. you don’t go to university here.”

    at the mispronunciation, his expression fell. just like their first meeting. “eggsy,” he repeated. “it’s eggsy. with an ‘s’.” maybe he would wake up at any moment. everything would be back to normal once he finally did. “you don’t remember the kingsman?? now that i cannot believe. we’re agents. we help people, and keep the world safe.” he had to be yanking his chain now. “we went through it all together. you became lancelot. my mentor, he --,” eggsy grit his teeth together before forging on, “he died. and i became galahad. we work together. we’re best friends.”

[galahadsjr]

hiddcninplainsight:

a high ponytail swished in the air as roxy’s feet propelled her farther down the sidewalk, earphones in and music making the world a bit more interesting. it was all that she could do to keep herself in peak physical condition, not wanting to be worn down in the final months of her secret service training — roxy would GET her spot, even if it nearly killed her. luckily, the air was pleasant against her face and the heat wasn’t near to exhausting her quite yet. 

pausing at a crosswalk, she hopped a bit from heel to toe in anticipation of beginning the next section of her jog through the city. hazel eyes focused on the sign across the way, readying herself to keep moving when a pair of arms wrapped around her. instantaneously, she turned, fist ready to barrel into the face of the person who’d grabbed her. still, she was halted when her name sounded from the lips of a rather handsome young man, a look in his eyes that told of genuine joy at the sight of her alone. a hand came up and ripped earphones out, her eyes wide and surprised as she tried to step out of the hug. “ —– SORRY. but.. who are you ?”

   the reaction was -- unexpected. eggsy had been so certain that roxy would be so excited to see him, yet here she was, trying to step of the hug. brows furrowing, he pulled away, arms dropping back down to his sides as he glanced at her, confusion written over his features at her words. “who am i??” he repeated, pointing at himself. “oh, come on, roxy. if this is a joke, it ain’t a real funny one. you get that, right?? this isn’t funny at all. we’re in this weird place, unsure of how we got here.” it had to be a joke. there was no way that roxy couldn’t know who he was. that was absurd. 

   taking a step back, arms fold across his chest as he regards her carefully. it doesn’t look like she’s joking, as much as he may want to think that’s what’s going on here. “it’s eggsy. you’re best friend, eggsy. we go way back, roxy. well, not way back but we’ve been through a hell of a lot of shit together. don’t you remember the kingsman?? we went through the training together. you got that spot we all wanted.”

[galahadsjr]

   this city was nothing that eggsy was used to. coming to the states so suddenly, and with no knowledge as to how or why he had ended up here was certainly not what had expected. one moment he had been home, and the next here he was. really, it was all so disorienting and it wasn’t like he could just up and leave. eggsy had a duty to uphold with the kingsman. being away from all of that, after all that had happened felt unnerving. still, he remembered his training. if there was a way to leave this place, he’d find it. the reports of people being unable to leave had been confusing in the beginning, it was slowly becoming something that he had accepted. something was keeping them here. whatever it was, eggsy was going to find out.

   making his way through the city now, his thoughts were all but railroaded whenever his eyes landed on a familiar sight. roxy. ever since he had arrived, eggsy had never expected someone he knew to be here. relief flooded through him as he quickly crossed the street over to his best friend and fellow kingsmen, arms slipping around her. “i had no idea you were even here, roxy !! you got no idea how happy i am see you. there’s a lot we have to discuss.”
