guess who saw the Wolverine movie? dis gal

I enjoyed it, but I thought the dialogue was sub-par. SOOOO CORNY. Hugh Jackman, you get points up for the sheer number of times you scream furiously at the camera and make your veins pop out. Also, hellooo, Gambit, why have you not been in the 3 previous X-Men movies?! Obviously something went wrong in the production process; FOX, you are not forgiven.

Anyway, now I'm in the mood for mutants and so I'm going to obnoxiously shove myself into [personal profile] fantaisie's superhero!Arashi AU. Who is going to stop me?! No one! Me and my adamantium claws. Um.



"Who do you work for?"

"No one," Sho says, trying to enunciate through the blood pouring from his nose.

"Bullshit! I'm not a patient man, you know, but I'll ask you one more time. WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?"

"I work for no one!" Sho says again. It's hard to sound sincere when you're blindfolded and bound to a chair, but Sho is really doing the best he can, under the circumstances.

The circumstances are not in Sho's favour. He'd told Jun that it was too early for him to go on missions. He'd explained to Aiba that he still really didn't know how to contain his powers. He implored Nino and Ohno not to split up from him, once they were, you know, out there. But there were three things that were in need of immediate attention and they needed more than four people to deal with them. Jun and Aiba had taken to the skies, heading towards the mad bomber who'd locked himself in a room with ten hostages. Nino and Ohno had looked at Sho and then each other, mutually deciding for Nino to catch the bank robber so Ohno could deal with the gun fight that had suddenly broken out in one of the town's seedier neighbourhoods, well known for being a hot spot for mafia business. Sho was to be Ohno's backup. It had been a bad idea then, and it was even a worse idea now, because now they're separated and though Ohno is still communicating with Sho telepathically, his voice in Sho's head is faint and is being all but overwhelmed by the stench of his captor's breath as he screams in Sho's face.

"I ASKED YOU WHO YOU WORKED FOR, MOTHERFUCKER, ANSWER ME!"

Sho really doesn't know how else to answer the question to make it any clearer. Sho doesn't work for any organization. He works with a few select individuals, but "works" might be the wrong verb to use. Sho's powers very much do not work, and in fact, Sho doesn't want to work with them at all; he was thrown into this whole mess head first and now he's just doing his best to survive and try to control his temper so he doesn't hurt his friends again, trying to understand his new found abilities, trying to help a city that apparently spits on people like him. Sho wants to share all of this with his assailant, but he can't. It's not like the guy would empathize, or even believe him. This is ridiculous, who is he justifying himself to? Sho's just a normal guy. He's not a superhero.

Sho-chan, Ohno murmurs in his mind. Can you just blow up something in the next room? Then maybe it'll distract everyone, and you can run away.

I'm blindfolded!
Sho reminds Ohno for the umpteenth time. I can't see the next room; I don't even know if there is one! And I can't blow up things at will yet! And I can't run away, I'm tied to a chair!!

Okay, then I guess just hang out there for a second. If you're comfortable.

How can I be comfortable?!
Sho broadcasts this thought as loudly as he can. The guy just told me he's going to cut my balls off if I don't talk! What do I say?! Help me!

I'm kind of busy right now... I'm sort of surrounded by a lot of people, and they all have guns aimed at me. Do you mind if I worry about that for now? I'll come get you soon. Oh, here they come.
Ohno doesn't wait for Sho's answer; Sho feels a bright flash of sheer energy explode from Ohno before his voice blacks out completely, and Sho is left alone in his mind.

Someone throws a bucket of cold water in his face. Sho sputters, coughs. Electricity crackles from his fingertips, tied behind the back of the chair, and his whole body jolts as the current runs up everywhere Sho is soaked with water. The person interrogating him also notices the sparks and Sho feels him take a faltering step back.

"Woah, what was that?"

"What?" Sho asks, faking ignorance. His mind is whirring. If he can get the other man to step close enough to touch the water pooled at Sho's feet, then Sho can take him out. Just two steps closer and Sho could win this. His first mission, successful. Then he could go help Ohno, and then find Nino and the others.

"I thought I saw something..." the man trails off and his shoes make a soft sound as he approaches Sho again. Either the man is really as light as a feather (strange, considering how heavy his voice sounds) or he's wearing some slippers, because he walks so quietly. One more step, Sho thinks.

"You mean the water you just threw on me?" Sho says loudly, lifting his chin. "Actually, I'm kind of thankful. I was feeling filthy from you shoving me around so much, so the bath was appreciated. To wash off your germs. When did you last shower, anyway? The 90's?" He tells himself this is the the first and only time Sho will ever use one of Nino's insults. (And in Sho's defense, he only avoided showers when Nino and Ohno were around, because they spent the whole time molesting each other and not actually washing, and always called Sho to join in on "the fun" in creepy voices.)

"You little--" There! The sound of a wet footstep. Sho opens his palms as far as he can in the rope, and focuses his energy like how Jun instructed. His skin thrums with an immediate surge of energy and the snaps and pops echo in his ear before a huge crack is heard through the air, pushing Sho's captor back with its force. Something heavy lands on a pile of cardboard boxes and crashes to the ground.

Sho sighs in relief.

Until the person stirs. "What the fuck was that!!" the man roars, marching to Sho. And now Sho can tell why his footsteps are so soft - he must be wearing rubber boots. DAMN. Just Sho's luck! One person in the entire world who wears rubber shoes on a clear day and it's the person threatening to castrate him. Sho hears a very familiar clicking sound, and the cold tip of a gun suddenly makes its acquaintance with the side of Sho's head. He swallows.

"I don't know what kind of trick you're pullin' here," the man sneers. "You seem like a dangerous guy. I probably shoulda killed you before, but better late than never."

"Did somebody call for a trick?" says Nino's voice, and the room explodes with the sound of breaking glass.



I don't know what I was thinking. I'll continue this another day!

Dammit have I told you lately how much I love you?
Seriously, Nino should blow things up ALL THE TIME. =D And since I love secret vigilantes and I love Arashi, this is probably the best AU combo ever.

My only beef with Gambit was that now there is no chance ever for him to hook up with Rogue like he was supposed to. I mean, by the time Rogue shows up, this guy would probably be a 40-year-old geezer. Who's going to be the love of her life now?
