       To some, the air of Fest was cold and barren -- and it spoke of the days in the Rebellion that the rebels were forced to hide out in similar conditions on Hoth. But, to the Captain, the chill in his bones felt like home ; unsure if anyone in the Resistance was even aware that it had been his home planet when some of them scattered to it after the events on Crait.         It was no matter of importance, it was merely a resting ground -- a base that they could consolidate on as opposed to flickering around the skies and hiding within the shadows to evade the First Order. Their numbers were small enough as it was ... -- “Jessika Pava,” the spy greets, meaning to establish some line of initial communication before the mission ; it didn’t matter to him either way, he could complete a mission with a complete stranger if need be. But he was told it was better for morale.  He then extends a hand after tucking his parka tighter around his form, “Captain Andor.”

“ i’ve got a plan. “ this may be motivated by a few beers & the fact that some of the people in this particular bar seemed to think that he looked like their dads ( which was just cruel ), but it seems like sound logic now. snap had already told him that that he looked like he could be the dad of the woman he was talking to. “ if i turn forty, no pava i’m not already forty, & we aren’t married.... we could, ya know. “ he shrugs, taking another sip from his bottle. ( he still had eight years to go, damn it. )

“i didn’t know where else to go.” (jess to becker)

meme: this one status: accepting (from mutuals)

there is something hesitant about the way jessica holds herself as she stands in his doorway. becker hates it. she has never been hesitant like this, cautious and wary, not with him. never with him. did she think he would ever turn her away?

he silently opens the door for her to enter, and gently places a hand on the small of her back once she's standing in his home. "you are always welcome here, jessica," he says. it feels inadequate, small in a way that does not encompass just how much he likes having her in his life, how much more he would like to invite her in. "what's happened? what can i do?"

"if you can get this bill from me, you can have it." (jess to becker)

he's got a small smile on his face as he watches her hold the bill behind her back. not one most would see, it's barely a slight upturn of the edges of his lips, but for becker, that's practically a neon sign. jessica's cheeks are flushed pink, eyes bright with the drink she really should not have been drinking, and becker is suddenly selfishly glad the rest of the team have already left and he's the only one that gets to see her like this. playful and bright and so very beautiful that he can only stare at her and bask that he's the one she's giggling at.

"i think, jessica," he finally says slowly as he takes a step towards her and reaches around her - she is warm, warm, and it would be so easy to wrap both his arms around her and make this an actual hug and pull her close and bend down and - "that it is time for us to get home."

@rebelthree​ said:  Georgie is eight, Oliver is five. There's yelling coming from Georgie's room. There's also the sound of things crashing. Ollie's not supposed to use magic against family members but he doesn't always understand that. Georgie's not supposed to use her power on family members either. Both children are found in the middle of a room in chaos, with items littering the floor including a broken camera and broken dinosaur toy. Both are crying and yet still glaring at each other.

John hears the prelude to the symphony of chaos seconds before the first crash resounds from the other side of the house. Initially, he’s struck by immediate queries of concern racing through his mind: are the children hurt? has something happened? are they in danger? As he approaches Georgie’s room with a swiftness, however, such trepidation trickles away. Now, the sound of their argument supersedes all else and, while John is certain that the root of it has been deemed ‘ severe ’ by her and Oliver, it’s liable to be of the sort that only a kid of eight or five believes justifies it.

Pushing open the door to his daughter’s bedroom, his gaze goes first to Georgie and her brother, then to the mess on the floor between them. “What’s going on in here? How’d this happen?” He gestures to the broken camera and toy that prompted the question, then to Georgie. “Both of you tell me what started this, one at a time.”

even though they are being chased by a dinosaur that very nearly just made him its' meal, becker feels secure with a weapon in hand. his other is wrapped around jessica's, fingers tangled together as they keep ahead of the creature behind them. despite her impractical shoes - how does she run in them? how does she even walk in them? - she keeps up with him. he can feel her pulse in her wrist, against his own wrist, a matched set with the heavy footfall of the dinosaur.

becker chances a quick glance at her as she speaks and then it is back to the path that lies ahead of them. one down, he thinks, and resolutely does not think about the fact that she would have been alone near the dinosaur to know that. he focuses instead on the rest of her words. there is a problem at hand - multiple problems - and he needs to focus on that. he can make sure she is alright after they have managed to curb the incursion and close the anomaly.

"think i saw an electronics store a little away from here," he says at a low level once he's tugged her into a small alcove after turning a corner. the dinosaur chasing them - not a bright thing, thankfully, all animal instincts and no strategy - runs past their hiding spot. "we'll have to call for another locking device." he chances a glance out. it is clear, but he does not relinquish his hold on her hand and instead tugs her lightly to stick with him. "and back up."

hopefully, the latter will not be too necessary, but the anomaly has been open for a lot longer than he likes, and without working communications at the moment, he does not know the situation anywhere but where he currently stands. at least he knows jessica is safe. her pulse against his is a comfort and a reassurance.

(     *     VALENTINE’S DAY ALPHABET   !

@rebelthree​ said: W  :   WEDDING. (for bruce wayne)

would your muse get married? why / why not?

bruce’s thoughts on marriage ( specifically, whether it’s a viable option for him or not ) vary depending on the stage of life he’s in. overall, growing up with parents who were very much partners and in love gave him a positive view on the institution of it in general so, regardless of whether he believes it’ll happen for him or not, he’s not someone who perceives it with cynicism. if it’s between people pursuing it for the right reasons, he believes it’s a good thing.

when he’s in his twenties, bruce is not interested in marriage. he’s too fixated on his own anger over his parents’ deaths and a desire for vengeance to think too far outside of those things. he’s never been in a genuine relationship, either; he doesn’t feel compelled to pursue one, even though there have been people he developed an attraction towards to some degree or another. the only commitment bruce is open to is one towards g.otham. he’s even fully prepared to die for it, and he doesn’t want to place the burden of that onto a person who loves him.

however, by his early thirties and the point of the r.iddler’s incarceration, his mindset has radically shifted. bruce still possesses a lot of rage, but he’s realized that focusing on hope and life is far more beneficial to enacting change in the city. in addition, nearly losing alfred leads him to stop pushing people away who are trying to get in. he’s terrified of losing someone like he lost his parents, but that incident showed him that can happen whether he’s allowing the people he cares for to be close to him or not. maybe it’s better not to waste that time with them.

while bruce is hardly searching for a serious romantic relationship, much less a marriage, he won’t be quite as inclined to fight it should he meet the right person. and once he knows that it’s what both of them wants, he would absolutely marry them.

It is rare for Jessica to be out in the field with them. Still happens more often than Becker likes, but rare enough that when he can, he sticks close by her. He remains at the ready as she works on the mobile contraption she has set up, his ears and eyes focused on the environment around them and not on her murmuring to herself under her breath as she types something out furiously.

Becker's grip on his EMD is tight, his lips pressed together furiously. This is not a case he wants her out on, not with what they've heard has come out of the anomaly.

Sometimes he dreams of not having gotten that epipen on time...

Movement flickers in the corner of his eye. Instinct has him flinging himself forward at Jessica to drag her down. He remains as gentle as he can, but he can see the shock on her face as she stares up at him. Can feel her unsteady breath against his cheek as he very carefully holds himself over her, eyes flicking down and then back up quickly. He places a finger on his lips, and sees the flicker of understanding in her eyes.

The moment passes, something scurries away. Becker holds himself where he is still, his heart still hammering unevenly in his chest.
