The team was lounging around after a particularly rough mission. Kyle was on his phone scrolling through TikTok while Johnny was trying to convince Simon to join them at the pub later.
John had just walked into the room when he saw Kyle's eyes flicker between him and something on his phone, a quiet laugh leaving him.
"Something funny, Garrick?"
Kyle looked back at him, shaking his head. "Just thought this kid on here looks like you, definitely doesn't act like you though."
Rolling his eyes, he joined Gaz on the couch. Cracking his neck from side to side, he snuck a peek at Kyle's phone, a hint of curiosity nagging at him.
The video showed a teenager sitting in a shopping cart, then proceeded to get pushed down the somewhat steep road just for the cart to swerve and hit a pole at high speed.
John snorted, "What did they expect?" He went to continue stretching but let out a strangled noise mid crack when the camera cut to show a closer view of the kid, sprawled out on the grass, their friends dying of laughter behind them.
The boys' eyes snapped towards him, somehow both concerned and amused.
"You good there, Cap? Don't tell me age is catchin' up to you," Johnny taunted, an easy grin splayed on his face. John would've humoured him if his attention wasn't caught by the video still replaying.
Slowly taking Kyle's phone, his blue eyes locked on the screen, pressing his lips together tightly. "That's mine," he mumbled, in some sort of trance, hands clutching the phone firmly.
"What?" Kyle leaned closer, having not heard him the first time.
He pointed with a calloused finger at the girl/boy lying on the grass while holding their head in pain. "That one is mine, doin' this fucked up shit," he didn’t sound angry — maybe a little bit — he mostly looked stressed. They might as well have thrown themselves off a cliff while they're at it, he thought, watching as the cart hit the pole.
Kyle's mouth fell open and not many things could shock him, mind you, he fell off a heli' before, but finding out that his law-breaking, war crime committing Captain had a child was... It was a different story.
"Excuse me, Sir?" Johnny looked incredulous, the war-ridden John Price is a dad, he used to change nappies before. Yeah, he didn’t believe that.
"Oh, this is going to be entertaining," whispered Simon, leaning back against the couch to get comfortable. He might even take up Soap's offer to go for a drink.
The idea of John finding his kid's socials by accident is so funny to me.😭
