I'm the son of the Scarlet Witch who thought I was dead but my soul migrated into the body of a gay, Jewish Avengers fanboy who grew up on the Upper West Side. Semi-Indie Billy "Wiccan" Kaplan RP blog M!A: None FC: Logan Lerman

[interdimensional-kickerofbutt]

(Puddle of blood) "I told you to stop looking for them." Faina swore, a litany of Russian curses dripping from her tongue as she ripped part of her shirt to make a bandage. She didn't trust the hospitals. She needed a healer.

America tried to complain but it came out like a whine as Faina pressed the cloth against the wound. Fuck that hurt, but her mind was too fuzzy for her to properly say so, or reassure her girlfriend. All she could do was try not to pass out for now.

[redroomdropout-archive]

Faina shed her hoodie, pressing the fabric against the wound, trying to stop the bleeding. She would have to get Wiccan to come and seal this wound with magic. While she was not fond of spells, she trusted him more than hospitals.

[interdimensional-kickerofbutt]

America whined at the pain of the pressure on the wound, but quickly brought her hand to it to make sure Faina wouldn’t move it away. She was still conscious enough to know it was necessary.

[williamwiccankaplan]

Billy teleported out to them, the moment he got the text. America might be bulletproof, but apparently there were somethings that could get to her. “What happened?” he asked, jaw slack. Okay, not really important, he knew why he was there. 

Billy knelt down next to the two girls, whisps of blue magic flaring from his fingertips. “IwanthertohealIwanthertohealIwanthertoheal~”

[redroomdropout-archive]

"I need your help. And your word that you will speak of this to no one."

Faina stood in her doorway looking the shapeshifter up and down warily. “Why…?”

[the-hulkling]

"Why didn’t you call me?" Teddy had to pause, landing on a random roof just so he could pull Billy closer.

"We’re always stronger together, Bee. You said that remember?" It was all he could do to breathe, the fear finally catching up to him. Teddy buried his face in billys neck, hating the smell of mold and the faint scent of chloroform that remained. He wanted to kill them. To tear them limb from limb for what they did.

"Promise me. Swear to me that you will let me know if something should happen like this again." He really hoped it woukdnt, but he was realistic enough that he knew better. All he could do now was hold Billy as tightly as he dared. He never wanted to let ago again.

[williamwiccankaplan]

"I know," Billy said. His hand curled in Teddy's shirt as he just sank into the embrace. "I freaked out. All I could think about was getting away, I didn't know where it was coming from and I didn't want to lead them home. They already knew where my parents were..."

[redroomdropout-archive]

"I need your help. And your word that you will speak of this to no one."

Faina stood in her doorway looking the shapeshifter up and down warily. “Why…?”

[the-hulkling]

His head immediately snapped to the left, the changes still clinking even after the notes died away. Looking around, he made sure there was no one in sight before he kicked the door open, the metal flying off it’s hinges and into the room.

The first thing that he saw was the metal strapped across Billy’s lips. Of course, they would need to make sure he wouldn’t cast. The smell of the place made Teddy’s nose crinkle in disgust. But he would focus on that later. He moved into the cell, tugging the chains from the wall first before bending the metal back enough that Billy could get his wrists free. Then Teddy took Billy’s face as gently as he could, checking to see how he could get it off without hurting the mage.

"How do i I get this thing off?" Teddy asked softly, not waiting to break anything in case it was embedded like the ear instruments had been.

[williamwiccankaplan]

Relief welled in his chest as the door fell away revealing Teddy in the hallway, dampness welling in his eyes. It was going to be okay, now. Seeing his fiance was all the reassurance he needed as Teddy set to work freeing him from the chains.

His arms felt heavy, lead-like as they fell to his sides. It took all the strength he could muster, to bring one up enough to tap the back of the collar, a seam present in the metal there. 

[the-hulkling]

Teddy moved and saw the seam, looking back at his fiancee. “It’s not inbedded anywhere right?” When billy shook his head, Teddy nodded.

"Don’t move." He slowly pulled the metal apart, gently moving it when the metal gave way. When he could, he flung the metal across the room. "Okay, do you feel like you can teleport us out? I don’t think I can remember how I got here."

[williamwiccankaplan]

Billy sank forward against Teddy’s chest, gasping for a few full breaths which he hadn’t been able to take since he had been collared. “I think I can get us outside,” he said. He felt too weak to get them much further than that.

There were footsteps approaching, time was closing in. If there were any short range power dampeners they were screwed.

"IwanttobeoutsideIwanttobeoutsideIwanttobeoutside—"

[the-hulkling]

For a moment there was nothing, and Teddy thought they would have to fight their way out. Just as he was about to pick up Billy, the two suddenly found themselves outside.

Teddy winced as his ear piece buzzed back to life, Faina’s voice demanding him to answer.

"I got him. I found him, we’re heading back now." The alarms were already starting to sound when Teddy shifted and lifted Billy before launched into the air.

"So…." he looked down at Billy. "Care to tell me how they managed to catch you?"

[williamwiccankaplan]

Billy curled into Teddy's embrace as he lifted them up into the air. Normally flying didn't bother him, but right now he was fighting the urge to dry heave.

"Short range power dampener," he murmured. "Couldnt port from home... So I started walking trying to get away. I was followed."

He leaned his head on Teddy's chest, eyes sliding shut.

"I need your help. And your word that you will speak of this to no one."

Faina stood in her doorway looking the shapeshifter up and down warily. “Why…?”

[the-hulkling]

He paused when he heard something knock against the wall. Or thought he heard something knock against the wall. The silence rang loudly in his ears as he strained to hear which room it had come from. There were still too many. But if he heard what he thought he did…. Billy was awake, and he was in one of these rooms. But which one?!

He started whistling again, softer than before, some of the higher notes fading because of the lack of air he was pushing through his lips. But he walked slowly, trying to make as little sound as he could. Tell me where you are…

[williamwiccankaplan]

Billy held his breath as he listened to the footsteps approaching. Teddy was so close, he just waited until he could hear Teddy's footsteps directly in front of the door. He thrashed against his chains.

I'm here, I'm here.

His wrists were bleeding now with the effort, but he needed him to just find the right door. Please.

[redroomdropout-archive]

"I need your help. And your word that you will speak of this to no one."

Faina stood in her doorway looking the shapeshifter up and down warily. “Why…?”

[the-hulkling]

It took him no time to find the building. Of course it looked abandoned, but Teddy could hear the electricity running through the wires beneath the ground and through the walls. Just as he started searching for openings, a door on the south end of the building opened and a guard walked out. Shifting into the man, he slipped in through the door before it closed.

The inside was darker than he was expecting, the silence heavy enough that his ears were ringing. He knew from the static that speaking with Faina now would be damn near impossible. His only hope now was to find Billy and pray he could still teleport them out of there.

There was nothing but long Tunnels. It would take hours for him to search every locked door he encountered. Even if he knew it was a long shot, he tried anyway.

"Recluse, do you have a floor plan?" Static was his only answer, just like he knew it would be. It looked like he was on his own.

"Jenkins? I thought you left?" Teddy froze before whirling behind him to see the man dressed in what looked like military issued clothing. Teddy - Jenkins- Shrugged.

"I forgot my wallet. It must have dropped out when I was leaving. You haven’t seen it have you?" The man shook his head.

"Where were you last?"

"With the prisoner." Teddy stated, looking down the hallway. "But you know with these old buildings, I always get turned around." The man nodded before pointing back the way he came. "It’s back this way. I’ll let the others know you’re coming back. And be careful. The prisoner’s not looking so good. God only knows what kind of disease he’s carrying." Teddy had to shift to hide the blood draining from his face but he nodded.

"Thanks." He smiled and nodded to the man before stepping in and walking briskly down the hallway. Well, it was a start. But all of the hallway’s looked the same, and the few people that he did manage to brush past didn’t give him a second glance.

Minutes felt like hours, but eventually he found what looked like utility rooms. A long row of at least 15 rooms, and with the metal doors, breaking them down one by one would only cause a commotion he didn’t want. But where was Billy?

With his hands dug deeply in his jacket pockets and his heart hammering out of his chest, he began to whistle the tune of Hobbiton. If Billy could hear him…. if he was close enough…. God Teddy hoped that his boyfriend was conscious. Because if not, this was going to take a lot longer than planned.

[williamwiccankaplan]

In the darkness, Billy lay limply, arms chained to the wall, wrists rubbed raw from the cuffs. He couldn't tell how much time had passed. It might have only been a day or two, he hadn't been fed since his arrival, and though he was hungry and weak, he still felt far from broken--like he might have some fight left in him. 

That is if he could get this damned collar off his neck, covering his mouth. He couldn't make any sound whatsoever, which meant all his magic had been cut off. He really needed to study more, harder, which he would when he got out of here.

If he got out of here.

Down the hall, Billy could hear the faint footfall of someone approaching. Shit. Were they coming for him again? He held his breath, waiting until...

Wait...

The whistling... Teddy.

He let out a small, muffled sound, jerking against the change. Oh god, Teddy. Please. Please hear me.

[the-hulkling]

(Williamwiccankaplan) “This is a disaster waiting to happen.”

"That hurts, Bee. That hurts a lot." Teddy pressed a hand to his chest in mock pain before going back to preparing the ground beef. Normally, he would agree. If there was one thing Teddy Altman could not do, it was cook. Except for when it was his mother’s homemade lasagna recipe. That he could cook.

"Just because you’ve never seen me make it before, doesn’t mean I can’t cook it.

[williamwiccankaplan]

"I still think I should have the fire department on stand by, you know, just in case." Billy's teasing was good natured. And while he was wary about some of Teddy's cooking, he could tell from the effort he was putting into this just how important it was to him. "Do you need me to do anything?" He offered.

Surgery is in 4 days

I’m posting this again, in hopes that I can get some reblogs this time. My out of pocket costs are going to be more and I’m going to be out of work longer than I thought I was going to be.

For those of you who don’t know, I work in sales, and while I do have a base pay, it’s below minimum wage so most of my money comes from commission. Needless to say, I can’t make commission if I’m not actually at the job. I work at a gym, so you’d think that they care about health, right? They don’t. I am only eligible for seven paid days off this year that includes the times I’ve been too sick to work, so let’s just say I’m very concerned about being able to make rent, help my parents pay my coinsurance, etcetera. 

I only have a few days left at work, and it is among the slowest months of the year for gym sales. So please, if you can reblog, if you can donate, I’d love it so much. Thanks tumblr. 

[the-hulkling]

Billy honked the Zipcar's horn as he pulled up in front of their apartment building. Sure they could have teleported out to the camp grounds, but the whole point of this trip was to spend more time together, to connect, so driving it was.

He couldn’t stop the laugh when he heard the honk. Ignoring the siutcase on the bed, Teddy walked over to the window and poked his head out. “It’s not nice to honk at the buildings you know!” He was teasing of course, but if it brought a smile to Billy’s face then it was worth it. 

[the-hulkling]

It wasn’t something that Teddy wanted to admit, even if they both knew it was true. Teddy had been so concered, so worried about Billy slipping back into the depression that seemed to engulf him at every turn, that he reaized he hadn’t been even thinking about himself. It was a weight that he didn’t realize he had been carrying until it was lifted from his shoulders.

"Well, let’s make a promise." He cupped Billy’s face, his eyes bearing into his fiancee’s. "We take this week. We work things out, whatever they are. And when we go home, we move on. We don’t look back." It was a challenge for both of them. Because Billy wasn’t the only one with chains attached. And just because the past happened, it didn’t mean that those things had to affect their present or their future.

[williamwiccankaplan]

Billy's hands moved instinctively to cover Teddy's with his own. They had fought so much lately, foolish things, letting too many others get in the way. That was the reason they needed this, to forget about everyone and everything else and just be them, sort everything out, and remember why they'd chosen each other over everyone else in the world. 

"I promise." He took Teddy's hands and kissed the knuckles lightly.

[williamwiccankaplan]

Ask anyone, I don’t like taking money from other people beyond mooching a meal off my awesome roommate. I like to be as self-sufficient as possible. But I find myself approaching my surgery date with more than just the procedure on my mind. 

My doctors suspect that I have, and are performing surgery to diagnose and remove any lesions from, endometriosis. This has been an eight year battle with mystery pains that have stopped me from working and nearly cost me several jobs. 

Right now, I work as a salesperson and the majority of my pay comes from sales. My company only gives me 7 paid days off a year—my surgery will keep me out several days and I have already used at least two from being ill and one so that I could spend Thanksgiving with my family. Not only that, but my paid time off will be issued at my sub-minimum wage rate of $6/hr. (Which they are allowed to pay me because I earn commission.) 

Luckily I am insured and have my parents helping with the out of pocket costs of the surgery, but I do depend on my commission to pay my rent and my other bills. So if anyone can pitch in a few dollars or even a reblog I would be so grateful. If you can’t, then a reblog would be loved

[the-hulkling]

His hands automatically slipped to Billy’s hips, as if gravity was pulling them into those two points. Humming against the kiss, Teddy smiled. “I think that’s a great idea. You still have to show me around after all.” An entire week out here with nothing but the two of them. The excitement was almost overwhelming and is arms wrapped around Billy’s torso, lifting him up off his feet to kiss him again.

"I love you. Thank you for doing this."

[williamwiccankaplan]

Billy grinned, feeling great for the first time that he could remember. "I did it for us," he said, lacing his fingers with Teddy's. "I know it's been rough lately, but this? Us? There's nothing more important. I promise."  He rested his hands on top of Teddy's. "And I lost sight of that for a while..."

[the-hulkling]

Teddy had always had an appreciation for nature. It was something that his mother had instilled in him at a young age. Stepping out of the car now, hearing nothing but birds, eagles and the wind through the trees for miles was enough to make his ears ring. He loved it.

"It’s perfect. Bee." He wouldn’t wait. catching their food, cooking over a campfire, and yes, even dealing the bugs. He loved it.

[williamwiccankaplan]

Billy circled around to Teddy's side of the car, threading his arms around his neck. The peaceful look on Teddy's face had a rush of relief flowing through him. "Glad you like it," he said, pressing a kiss to his lips. He patted his shoulders. "What do you think about getting our campsite set up and going for a walk?"
