Fic: Force Of Habit 3/3 - complete
The third reel. Thanks to everyone for the feedback on this so far, it's been really heartening. I hope you guys like the finale as much as I liked writing it. Thanks for reading!
(p.s. Credit to joasakura for the notion that tequila and Shatterstar may not combine well. This is now firmly canon in my head XD)
Title: Force Of Habit, pt 3 of 3 : Clockwork
Fandom: X-Factor
Pairing/Characters: Rictor/Shatterstar, Jamie Madrox, Banshee (formerly Siryn), Monet St. Croix, Longshot, Strong Guy, Rahne Sinclair, Layla Miller, Pip the Troll (all Marvel Comics)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Swearing. Reprehensible amounts of comic-book violence, but mostly off-panel ;)
Words: 1,856
Comments: This is a lot more fun than my last one, I promise. It's an angst-free three-act action movie of Rictor and Shatterstar getting their X-Force on and demonstrating their awesome old-school teamwork to the rest of X-Factor. Uh, which teamwork would of course be measured in cracked skulls, property damage, creatively interpreted orders and other frankly appalling mayhem which Terry might have warned Jamie about if she'd thought about it in time. Poor Jamie; exploding warehouses are so not noir. In my head this comes with a David Yardin cover showing Ric and 'Star in scowling badass mode, back to back, surrounded by soon-to-be-terribly-sorry bad guys. And that hat is my personal fanservice. Somebody in X-Factor ought to have a fedora, right?
3. Clockwork
For catch-up: 1. X-Force Rules, 2. Quality Time
