Colbert/Fick – werewolf AU. Bravo Two as a wolf pack. Fick is the Alpha - 4/4

Being a werewolf isn’t really a disease. It’s a condition. It’s something that’s manageable, most of the time.
Once a month it can’t be stopped. You are the beast. The blood coursing through your veins is calling out for more blood and you have to answer. You have to stop it. The rest of the time most people would hardly notice.
You can hear better than everyone else, sense more. You’re an animal but only in so much as every human is an animal.
But when a werewolf is angry, truly uncontrollably angry, there isn’t really anything human about him.
When Nate goes for Craig’s throat there is no second of hesitation. No chance that he will pull back. When Nate goes for the Alpha’s throat there are claws where his hands were moments ago and will he kill. He will kill or die.
-
They get assigned the reporter and Godfather delivers the news like a eulogy but there’s just a hint of pride lurking in his eyes, just a glimmer that he deserves the attention.
Nate isn’t happy and Brad isn’t happy. But that could just as easily be because they got handed a few more pups by the Marine Corps (and who the hell saw that coming, the US government knowing all along? Well, everybody to be fair but you know) and Q-Tip and Christenson aren’t so bad but Trombley might just be a psychopath.
So Ray takes Rolling Stone under his proverbial fucking wing, doesn’t let Chaffin molest him or Doc tear his head off. He turns out not to be such a bad guy. He smells of fear, but he doesn’t mind being afraid, doesn’t seem to care that they know he’s afraid. So he stays and he follows Ray around and sometimes Brad and then on the fourth day he looks at Ray from under that stupid hat and asks, “So, Fick and Colbert-“
“No.”
“What-“
“No, Homes. Just don’t ask.”

When Nate goes for Encino Man it’s not really an ensured victory. It’s not even close.
It would have been nice if it had been, would have made Brad way less angry in the aftermath, but Craig kept the job for years and it was never because he was good at it.
Nate’s fast but Craig’s strong and there’s this moment where Nate isn’t going to win this one. Where he can’t.
He does though, in the end. Which is awful fucking lucky because that would have pissed Brad off for the next eternity. Would have made him kill Encino Man himself, which yeah, Ray’s been telling him to do for years but really who wants Brad as the Alpha.
Instead, when Nate finally manages to stop the bastard’s heart and that little piece of shit Casey Kasem goes for him, Brad rips his throat out so fast no when else has even blinked.
It’s really quiet then, deathly quiet, and Nate looks up from where he’s still sitting by Craig’s body. Looks up at Brad and his eyes don’t waiver and he says, “Mike will you-“
“You heard him gentleman, let’s clean this up before the locals start getting suspicious.”
And that’s the end of it. And that’s how Nate becomes the Alpha.
-
Before all of this Nate used to run.
Five miles every morning, his feet against the asphalt a heartbeat not his own, the wind catching against his skin. Nate used to run and what it really felt like was flying.
Of course, this was only until one day, with the wind at his back and blood rushing through his veins, a car swerved and didn’t stop. The pack thinks he remembers. They think he knows what happened, who changed him, why the world went from mildly bemusing to insane. He doesn’t though.
All Nate Fick can remember about his last moments as a human being is the cold slick of the road beneath his body, an unearthly howl somewhere in the distance and a pair of ice blue eyes.

THIS WAS AMAZING. SERIOUSLY AMAZING. I want to read 70,000 more words of it! Really - the insight of who would want Brad as Alpha, the way Encino Man isn't anymore, the mystery at the end - this is awesome.

*blinks* That is just not the way I pictured that prompt going at all and I have never been so glad to be wrong, wrong, so wrong in my life. I'm with everyone else, I could read endless amounts of this.

I was so hoping that someone would write this prompt!! And this is so awesome!! Love it!!
The fact that they aren’t exactly men? Well, they’re stone cold killers, which as it turns out is close enough.
May I repeat - AWESOME!!!
Which is awful fucking lucky because that would have pissed Brad off for the next eternity. Would have made him kill Encino Man himself, which yeah, Ray’s been telling him to do for years but really who wants Brad as the Alpha.
Uh...? ME! ME! ME! ME! ME! *g* I also really loved this "would have pissed Brad off for the next eternity"!! :D
And omg eeeeek!!! The ending!!!! Anyone, huh? ;) Omg, so awesome!!!
