Let it Snow: Blue Start

[voidtreckermods]

The moment the doors open for purple to jump the train is speaking again. “Blue team to doors. Void shift imminent. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one” The train lurches and shudders as the windows flash the colour of the void for a split second before it shakes again and they are back in that frozen tundra.

The doors open and blue can jump down into a large snowdrift. They are at the foot of an impressive mountain range. Snow swirls around them, the wind hows. Ahead of them, half obscured by snow is a tunnel entrance.

Even getting there is exhausting, wading through the snow. Inside there is no snow but it is cold. The walls and floor shine with ice and the way is treacherous. It is pitch black.

Their task is to find those hiding in the tunnels. Some have formed makeshift camps in large caverns, others have fled into the small tunnels and have gotten themselves lost.

The voidtreckers are lucky to at least have a map on their SCA though it does not show where anybody else it. It is time to start the task of rounding everyone up and making sure they can survive the storm.

"I have a very good reason to return. So I most certainly will." In the back of his mind Ignis wondered if he'd have to explain anything to the Blue team about he and Tony but he really hoped not.

The advisor smiled carefully. "Madoka isn't old enough to be in charge of me I'm afraid."

The blue team was full of smart kids. What was going on was obvious enough, wasn't it? Tony sure didn't bother to hide it and hadn't completely noticed that Ignis was. He might have questions at that point. Right now, he wasn't thinking of anything but the man in front of him and hoping he'd return to him safely.

"You might be surprised," Tony tossed back lightly. It was amazing what young people were capable of. Sometimes that was a bad thing, but he bet this one would be a good one. "Don't resist help if it's offered. You need to take care of yourself too. That's part of being a good leader is showing them balance." Like he ever followed that advice.

Ignis snorted lightly at the advice, knowing full well Tony didn't do such a thing. "I'll remind you that you gave e that advice."

He knew it was good advice in and of itself. He just knew this was a 'here take my advice because I'm not using it's type thing.

This mission was going to be long slow and painful. Cold too, so to that end, the advisor removed his long green scarf and put it around Tony's neck. He smiled and gave a satisfied nod. "It looks better on you darling."

He was definitely reminded of when he handed over his necklace which he knew Tony barely ever took off.

"What advice?" He joked, becoming more aware of how hypocritical the warning had been. "It's still good advice even if I don't do it very well either!" At least he admitted it?

The scarf being draped around his neck surprised him and yet it warmed him more than physically. He pulled Ignis back in for another kiss. "I'll return to you, Tiger. I promise." He looked back toward his team and sighed. "I have to go. Be careful."

"I see. So it's the usual case of do what you say and not as you do." the advisor smirked.

He was surprised at the kiss but couldn't help but to stare as his lover walked away after making his promise to return.

There were so many things that he wanted to say but nothing actually came out. When Tony moved out of sight, Ignis sighed and turned away to head back to his own team.
