It was enviable really.
What did they honestly expect leaving 4 bright teenagers on their own with no supervision and nothing to occupy them?
It was enviable really.
What did they honestly expect leaving 4 bright teenagers on their own with no supervision and nothing to occupy them?
It started innocently enough; with Toro begging a bottle from the kitchen and trying to get the others to play spin the bottle.
Bucky decried the game as “babyish” and Davey, rather red facedly, pointed out that Gwenny was the only girl.
Toro asked what game Bucky didn’t think of as “Babyish”.
Union Jack was passing, but he missed the manic gleam in Bucky’s eyes as he said, “Truth or Dare.”
Bucky’s dare.
German was actually fascinating when you got down to it.
Steve Rogers wandered along the corridor, reading and rereading the translation of the text that he had borrowed from Brian.
When spoken, the language seemed so harsh, so unyielding. But when you understood it, when you translated it, you could appreciate the poetry contained within….
He stopped dead, as he just avoided running into Nick Fury.
That wasn’t too uncommon. Part of Steve’s cover was to be the “worst soldier” in the army, so almost running into people was nothing new.
Running into them however, partial naked and determinedly gripping at a towel…that was a new one.
Nick’s hair was plastered to his head, lather from cheap carboxylic soap was peeking out from under his armpits, and dripping down to soak the white standard issue towel, which for some reason had green speckles on it
He blinked as he watched a trickle of green drip from the ends of Fury’s hair, and roll slightly down his chest.
Trying not to look too closely, as Fury looked about ready to commit murder, he realised that what ever the green stuff was, it stained. Nick’s hair was streaked with the stuff, and now he noticed it, most of the water on his chest was green too.
“Did,” Nick’s voice interrupted his musings, evidently remaining calm with effort. “Did anyone come past you?”
Steve shook his head. The blue eyes bored into him, as though searching for treason in him.
Then, with as much dignity as a man wearing only a towel and streaked with green can muster, Sergeant Nick Fury of the Howling Commandoes, spun around and walked back down the corridor.
Steve returned his attention to his book, deciding not to say anything about what he’d seen earlier that morning.
After all, there were many innocent reasons that Bucky’s vest and Jacket had green stains on them.
Gwenny’s prank
Gwenny slid into her normal place at breakfast, with a quick nod to the guys.
She felt Davey’s hand brush her thigh, and she slid the tiny shaker across, knowing his costume had more pockets and more places to hide them than hers.
Unconsciously, she swallowed and rapidly wiped her hands on her stockings.
It wasn’t like what they were doing was wrong, and the guy was so mean he completely deserved it.
But that didn’t mean her hands weren’t shaking as Toro passed her the margarine.
Less than three minutes, until he’d make an appearance.
The conversation carried on around them in Russian, but she didn’t speak enough of the language to understand it.
She ate without really tasting what she was eating, which knowing the situation and food shortages was probably a good thing. Bucky and Toro discuss the merits of powdered eggs next to her, and she wanders how they can be so calm.
Then he enters.
Kaprov always seems huge, towering above them all, though he’s shorter than Steve. A lot nastier too, and she isn’t completely sure whether it was Bucky or Toro who added his name to the list. He’d done enough to deserve it.
She watches, fighting to keep her face straight as he begins to fidget slightly. Not much, but with him it seems more noticeable.
Steve’s certainly noticed it, and he’s looking at Bucky and Toro with a great deal of suspicion in his face. Both are looking completely innocent, more so than when they’re actually responsible.
She cuts her apple into quarters, praying he won’t glance in her direction.
But Steve is a gentleman, so he doesn’t look at her, though Union Jack does. He’s got a sister, so he knows that girls aren’t as innocent as Steve thinks.
But given some of the things Kaprov said, (and after Jack had saved Uncle Joe too), she can’t see him squealing on her.
Especially as she sees his lips give a quick twitch, which is almost a smile, as Kaprov screams something that sounds nasty in Russian, and rips the coat from his back throwing it on the floor.
Not that’ll do him much good, the powder’s in his under garments.
She briefly catches Toro’s eyes, and smiles, as he poured the powder into the water jug, hastily stirring it.
It was useful that there were many innocent explanations for powdered rose sips.
Toro’s trick
A stink bomb would have been better, easier. But as Bucky pointed out there were so many worries about gas attacks, that stink bombs would be dangerous.
So cold water it would have to be. Not very original, but this was war. You made do with what you could get, and while it was only November (just), cold water was not in short supply.
The problem was going to getting it in without it heating up.
Even though it was strictly against the rules of the dare, he asked Bucky for help. They spent several hours trying to come up with ways. But ceramics conducted heat too well, as did metal, so carrying in a jug or any form of vessel was out.
Bucky suggested that if he could heat things up, he should be able to cool them down too, but a few experiments proved that this logical was flawed.
He was on the verge of giving up and taking truth, when they went to the Falworth’s estate.
He and Bucky were volunteered by Steve to help get the house ready for guests. This included getting some game from the ice house.
He couldn’t believe it when he saw the snow heaped around the walls, especially when Brian told them that it was always like this, even in the hottest summer’s day.
He pointed out the straw heaped around the walls, and explained how that keep the temperature constant, adding that if something kept things warm, then it would usually keep them cool as well.
He couldn’t believe it, and had to force himself to pay attention to the rest of the day. Getting hold of the necessary implements without anyone noticing was difficult.
But Sergeant Duffy looking like a soaked scarecrow and Bucky high fiving him when no one was looking?
Priceless!
Davey's Truth
He couldn’t believe it. He’d read it five times before he looked up.
Who had written this? Who had chosen her?
“Truth.” He said, his voice hoarse, as his fingers destroyed the paper.
He could never hurt Gwennie.
