Stranger Things Thunderbolts* AU - 2

“This is so irritating.” Joyce sighed, as the Sentry started to monologue about how she needs to show the real her. Thank god she had a kill switch installed for such occasions, it is a bit of a bummer to take out her best ace in the hole but super-powered egomaniacs were the worst type of pawns. She discreetly tried to press the button behind her back but the blonde grabbed her by the throat to slam her onto the nearby window, making her drop the switch.

“You were gonna turn on me like the rest of them.” Sentry angrily spat.

“I am not afraid of you Chrissy.” Joyce wheezed out as the girl chocked her.

Sentry looked at her intensely to silently add. “Its not Chrissy you need to be afraid off.” Then proceed to squeeze her her throat to eliminate the real threat to her existence.

Before Joyce could think of her final regrets, Sentry’s eyes went bloodshot, collapsing to the ground. Joyce found her assistant Robin with the kill switch in her hands, standing in the middle of the room.

“Good girl you came to your senses. Come here help me up.” She said nonchalantly, like she wasn’t just about to be killed.

Robin was going to let it happen but then she saw the rag tag team running out the building with the unconscious Nancy carried by the big Santa looking guy. She remembered the conversation they had the other night about how they could be the heroes that saved the day this time, and maybe a part of her wanted to believe there were good guys unlike what Joyce preaches her. So she walked cautiously to help her boss up the floor.

“I wanna raise.” Robin simply demanded, as Joyce started rambling on about taking down the losers, maybe she could convince for her to go easy on the congresswoman.

Stranger Things Thunderbolts* AU

Nancy had achieved her mission already, she captured Joyce’s old agents, the so called Thunderbolts now apparently, as they were escaping. She just needs to wait for six minutes for the plane to arrive and get them to the court to testify against Joyce to impeach her from power. It was going to be the single biggest achievement of her political career if successful. But then they had to start telling her about a girl called Chrissy who can fly, and how potentially dangerous she is under Joyce’s hands.

She didn’t believe them of course, but then Robin had to call her to tell her about the failure of project Sentry and how unbalanced this Chrissy person was. If the royal assistant was willing to go this extreme to betray her boss then this was serious. And not just because she can’t say no to Robin’s soft pleas for help. After some deliberation, she removes the group’s shackles to go save the way the old fashioned way.

“Why you got some place to be?” Nancy asked, as they looked at her in disbelief.

“Nancy, you have the wrong people. We have all done bad things.” Max argued, not believing they were the heroes she was looking for.

Nancy, the ex winter soldier, knows more then anyone about not having a clean slate so she isn’t going to start judging the others’s dark pasts now, even Harrington’s past actions.

“Look, I've been where you are. The past doesn't go away. So you can either live with it for ever, or do something about it.” Nancy said, subtly giving them a last chance if they wanted to abandon ship for survival.

In other news, has anyone seen Barry Allen today? He didn't come into work this morning.

ronancetober - day thirteen: extraterrestrial [doctor who au, doctor!robin buckley, companion!nancy wheeler]

“Who the hell are you?”

“I,” the taller woman responds, thumbing her suspenders with an infuriating grin, “am the Doctor.”

“Doctor what?” Nancy asks, and there’s something a little funny to her about how the stranger’s face drops for half a second, not actually sad, but as though Nancy’s failed to participate in a game she had no idea she was playing.

“Er, just— just the Doctor,” the woman replies, shoving her hands into her pockets. “And who are you?”

“Nancy. Wheeler.” Nancy replies, adding her last name on as an afterthought. She doesn’t know why she gives the woman her real name, doesn’t make up some bullshit lie, except that Nancy has never been good at bullshitting. She cuts straight to the quick no matter what.

“Well, Nancy Wheeler,” the woman begins, but her eyes have begun to focus on something just behind Nancy’s head, and her mood spins on a dime. “Come with me,” she says, immediately insistent, and extends a hand.

“What?”

“Come on, Nancy Wheeler! No time to waste!”

Nancy spins on her heel to investigate what it is that has this woman— the Doctor— so nervous, and finds herself staring down the eyestalk of a domed robot. Instinct puts her hand in the woman’s, laces their fingers together. They run.

The Doctor, just a half-step in front of Nancy, stops short suddenly and tugs her around a corner, the pair of them breathless and hiding in an alleyway.

The first thing Nancy thinks, with some strangely misplaced humor, given the situation, is that the woman is maybe the strangest runner she’s ever seen.

“What the hell was that?” Nancy asks, leveling the woman with her best glare. The Doctor shrinks under it just a hair.

“That,” she says, digging in her jacket for a moment, “is a dalek.” The Doctor seems to find what she’s looking for, because she pulls some sort of tool from inside her breast pocket, the top lit brightly. After a moment, she holds it up as if to wield it, though Nancy’s not sure to what end. It buzzes strangely in the woman’s hand. “And I’d like to know what it’s doing here, in Boston, in the…” She hesitates just a second, looks around. “Eighties.”

“Nineties,” Nancy corrects, and the woman snaps, points at Nancy as though she’s correctly answered a question.

“Nineties! Knew it.”

“Then,” Nancy asks, narrowing her eyes at the Doctor in a way that’s made grown men nervous, “what does that make you?”

The woman laughs nervously. “Can’t imagine what you mean, Nancy Wheeler.”

“I don’t go chasing around women for no good reason,” Nancy tells her, sharp. “So you’re going to tell me what’s happening right now.”

“What’s happening,” the Doctor says, breathless now from excitement instead of exertion, “is an invasion. And you, Nancy Wheeler, have just found yourself in the middle of it!”

fox's ronance moodboards - hercules au

It had been a full day spent with Robin, but to Nancy, it felt as though it had only been a couple of hours. They'd seen Oedipus Rex (Robin thought it was creepy, and Nancy tended to agree), they'd walked by the bay, and now they strolled through the statue garden behind the Temple of Hera. It had been perfect.

So perfect in fact, that she'd almost forgotten that she was there under Vecna's command. This was her job. To get Robin to like her. To discover her weak spots. And yet...

Nancy, bringing herself back to reality, made her next move. She let her ankle give way under her, putting her right into Robin's strong arms. Of course she was able to catch her with ease. Of course she was.

"You okay, Nance?"

"Yeah. It's just... weak ankles, y'know?"

Robin helped her to the stone bench nearest them, and sat down next to her. The look of concern on her face made Nancy feel a pang of regret for a moment. Only a moment, she would swear.

"You don't have any weak spots, do you, Wonder Girl?"

Robin laughed and moved to pick up a flat stone off of the ground. She swung back her arm, aiming quickly before answering.

"Nah, I'm afraid I'm fit as a fiddle."

She tossed the stone and it skipped right over to the nearest water statue, knocking it's left arm clean off. Nancy couldn't help but chuckle as she sidled up to Robin's side.

"Y'know, I think it looks better that way."

There was a moment of silence before Robin sighed contentedly. Nancy noticed her gazing up at the stars. She couldn't help but wonder what was going through her brilliant mind. What stories were etched in the stars about her. Which ones were yet to be written.

"Y'know," Robin started, cautiously, "When I was a kid, I would've given anything just to be like everyone else."

Nancy couldn't help but let out a snort.

"You wanted to be petty and dishonest?"

Robin looked at her with surprise in her eyes. Nancy almost wished she hadn't said anything at all just to avoid that look on her face.

"Everyone's not like that."

Nancy gazed into the water. She saw their reflections staring back at her. Robin's quizzical. Her own pensive.

"Yes, they are."

"You're not like that."

Nancy turned to her, and she couldn't help but allow a brief glimpse of longing shine through her eyes. All she'd ever wanted was to be known by someone she could really trust. But that was softness speaking. Softness that wasn't allowed in her world, with Vecna.

"How do you know what I'm like?"

Robin smiled.

"All I know, is that you're the most amazing person with weak ankles that I've ever met."

once a week i think about how dc films canned a fully completed batgirl film made by filmmakers of colour, threw out the superman franchise plans with henry cavill AND delayed aquaman 2 indefinitely due to amber heard's trial and mamoa's activism........but the same dc films also took care to adjust The Flash's reshoot schedule to accommodate [checks notes] ezra miller's evasion of court and arrest for the abduction of a child and family.
