Expression remained unchanged as the sound of footsteps approached. Brief look up from pages of book to check of who it was that had entered mostly empty guild hall. Finger turned page, and as the figure stepped in front of her, she kept silent for a while. Though when the person in question stayed where they were, she decided speaking would be the appropriate course of action.

“If you’re looking for Sting, you’re out of luck. He just left on a job.”

I wouldsay that I am sorry but I know that if Ray sees it, he will call me out on beinga liar again because I am never really sorry. I somehow seem to have no other hobbythan to drag everyone else down with me.

"six word story" ( be gentle with my fragile heart please )

”six word story” meme ;; accepting

For a certified GENIUS, Chen sometimes really happens to be areal IDIOT and usually, Sherry knows this and thus she has long given up to stophim when he rambles on and on. Actually, in her opinion, Chen only rambles whenhe is stressed – and right now, he better be stressed or she will personally makesure that he will be.

“Don’t panic! Airliners basically land themselves!” he says.

And Sherrywants to LAUGH.

She doesnot know how to FLY a plane but she knows, technically, how to BUILD one and sheis nearly entirely sure that they do not land by themselves. They need a pilot andtheir pilot is DOWN and everything is a DISASTER and now she is rambling, too, whichmeans that she is freaking out, too.Which isbad with a capital B because, statistically speaking, nothing good has ever followedwhen she and Chen have freaked at the same time.

(Mostly because the freakout hasalways been completely justified.)

There isnot much space for rational thought inside her head, not with the way her heartslams against her ribcage in a desperate attempt to get away, but she KNOWS thatif they want to get out of this mess, they need to wake up someone who can pilota plane. Only thattheir options are limited because Agent Milkovich has a bleeding gash on her foreheadand Agent Fullbuster looks like he has a broken arm – she is not Chen, she cannotconfirm this.

There isa tiny chance that they have to land the plane themselves and Sherry is NOT happyabout this because aside from some hours at the simulator for fun, she has no experienceat all. She can radio HQ and PRAY that someone down there has an idea but she doesnot have to look to know that the autopilot has been fried by a stray ICER bullet.

(And theregoes what would have been her preferred method; Meredy SOMEHOW hacking her way intothe plane’s autopilot and an experienced pilot on the ground taking care of therest.)

And her hands start to tremble again and she grasps thehem of her shirt and clings to it like an infant would cling to its favourite blanketbecause this CANNOT be happening to her now. Her body cannot betray her like this,not now, not when she has to think her way through the blockade in her head.

(Karma really is a bitch sometimes, Sherry decides.)

This isthe worst timing for any of this but she knows why her fear is kicking in, numbingher already messed up brain. She knows the feeling of FALLING into uncertainty all too well andshe REMEMBERS what has happened the last time this has happened: she has ended ina box on the bottom of the ocean with her cousin and the hardest decision of herLIFETIME at her hands.

She does not want to go there again.

She cannot.

She knows that if she ever gets into such a situation again,she will choose the selfless solution again – but this time, she will make surethat she does not get dragged out of it, her arm DESTROYED and RUINED and entirelyUSELESS and her brain NUMBED and SLOWED and WORTHLESS. She doesnot want to die but she does not want to live half a life either. And without herbrain and her right arm, she is only half the woman she KNOWS she can be, the womanshe HAS to be if she wants to get everyone else out alive.

She isno protector by nature.

Others are this, she is a SURVIVOR. But she is still bearingthe wounds of the last fall and she is out of tricks. There is no old-fashioned,outdated little gadget in her hand this time, she does not have one last ace upher sleeve. She is a scarred woman, a burned child and she is AFRAID. She canadmit this. She does not panic because this would take up too muchenergy. She cannot afford this now but she can afford some good old fear.

Because it is okay to be afraid.

Agent Milkovich herself said so.

And Sherry wants to trustthe other woman because they are on the same TEAM.

“I don’tpanic,” she says and it feels like a lie on her lips although she is not lying,although she is telling him the truth.

‘I am notthe same.’ ‘You are not broken, Blendy, you are just changed.’

Sometimes,being broken and being changed feels the same. Other times, she still feels thespark inside her brain – the old brilliance. On these days, she wants to BELIEVEeveryone when they say that she only needs time and that this will help her copewith the loss of what has made her SPECIAL, of what has made her a VALUABLE memberof the team once.

But today,the spark she feels is strong, is big enough to IGNITE the fire inside her brain,the fire she has been missing for weeks and months and nearly a year now. She isnot healed because she cannot be healed from what has been done to her.

“I gotthis.” I think.

She is not broken, just changed. And finally, her handsstops trembling. She can do this. She knows how to build a plane, she knows howthey work on a deeper level than most pilots. And while she doubts that she canbring it to the ground, she knows that she can keep it in the air until Chen getsone of the actual pilots back to their feet.

This is not a moment for science.

This is a moment for FAITH.

" Yes, I'm sure this is a good idea. Pretty sure. 100%. Well... maybe 67%"

Remember this? Here’s more of this

Little known facts about Sherry Blendy, engineer and former wunderkind, included the following:

a) she had been deadly afraidof drowning even before she had been thrown into the ocean by someone she had thoughtshe could trust b) she did not always blindly support her cousin in everything he did because whileChen was hardly a rebel, he was sometimes a little reckless and got carried away c) she did not mess around when someone had taken her breakfast tea and had notinformed her about it so that in the morning, she opened the box to find it empty.

Tea hadbeen stolen,war had been declared on her.

Findingthe culprit was easy.

Chen had not taken the tea because he preferred another brandand had his own stock in his room. The director preferred coffee over tea – somestory about a woman working in a coffee shop might be involved but no one ever wantedto hear Gildarts Clive’s stories about his numerous conquests. The Agents Milkovichand Frost had both been out on an assignment and Meredy had made it quite clearthat she only liked coffee. She was willed to believe that Lyo— Agent Vastia had nottaken her tea and even if he had, this would not have consequences for him.

Somethingshe probably should not mention to Chen lest she wanted to hear another speech abouthow she should stop being nice to everyone because she would only get hurt again.

This left themercenary since the Agent Fullbuster had gone out with Milkovich and Frost and hadalso mentioned that he hated all kinds of hot beverages – well, he was an odd bird.But there was no way that Sherry Blendy would pick a fight with Silver Fullbusterunless she had backup. And when one was part of Blendy², backup was always in reach. This had been one of the things she had missed most whenshe had been in a difficult situation with her cousin after she had woken up fromanother therapy session to hear that he was gone. To find out, much later,that he was undercover in HYDRA.

And Chenalready had a plan on how to prank the man, mostly because he had not forgottenthe way the thing with the leg had played out. Only thata part of Sherry could not help but question whether Chen might be willed to goa little too far – which was something she could not deny that she had done as wellin the past months, the most notable event when she had nearly killed the prisonerbecause she had been furious and not quite herself and, which had been the decidingfactor, desperate to control something in her life after everything had been takenaway from her.

And whenshe wanted revenge, there was little in the world that could keep her from takingit.

»Alright. I’ll take your 67% over most people’s100%.«

Becauseshe trusted him and in all the years of her life, this trust had never been misplaced.If Chen said that something would work, she was willed to bet more than her lifeon it. He was the one person who could probably backstab her and she would closeher eyes and let him do it because until the very end, she would ignore it and pretendnot to notice that he was out for her blood.

(Only didshe doubt that Chen would ever turn on her; this would not be like him at all.)

»So, we’ve had a lotof trouble lately … but let’s pull off this prank in the most perfect way possible… no one takes my tea and gets away with it.«

Dance, dance, dance, little doll, And never forget to smile. Being ugly is the privilege of the good And you haven't been that in years. So paint your face, hide the ugliness That you harbour deep in your chest. If you don't let it show, they won't know. (No one looks close enough anyway.) Dance, dance, dance, little doll, And tell us how you fell into the rabbit hole And how you found yet another nightmare Where you would have found Wonderland If only you had been fair and gentle like Alice Who was a heroine whereas you are not. (They keep telling you this and you believe.) Dance, dance, dance, little doll, And never stop because you're just a puppet, Dangling from the strings another pulls Because ever since you went to Wonderland And found a nightmare, you haven't done it. It is easier for you, is it not? (That's what they try to tell you, at least.) (And history is written by victors.) (No one cares about survivors like you.) Cut the strings, little doll, and get back up Because you always danced best When you chose your own song. You are a snake, remember? So shed the skin off already, it's not you. Wash off the makeup, show your fangs. (They'll tell you that you can't but you're smarter.)

survivor, left alone in the woods

MULTIPLE LIVES AU

Sherry tries so hard to fit in.She remembers her past livesand they have left her marks on her – she has not forgotten that she was killedonce by drowning because she was accused of being a witch and even though she nolonger is Sophia, although Sophia is buried far away in a nameless grave, she cannotstand being around large bodies of water without someone she trusts unconditionally.And thereare people she has met in previous lives, people she has trusted then and trustsnow, too.It is notalways easy for her to be the friend, the ally they deserve because they have alltaken the same damage over the years but she tries very hard to be there for them,to help them carry the burden of having lived too many lives when it gets too heavy.In her current reincarnation, in her life as Sherry Blendy, she tries to keep a low profile because this is what she owes to the ones who have been her beforehand. Unsurprisingly, she still gets dragged into the mess because no matter what, she is not going to abandon her friends when they need her help when the past comes back to haunt them once more.
