Who: Brock Rumlow & Sam Wilson
When: 6+ months post-TWS
What: Tans knows. I know. Yet another reason we have poor life choices because of conversations with each other.
Warnings: Rumlow, dubious science, sex no doubt.


Time was a slippery mistress to chase when one hadn't seen the outside world in a long time. The Hive was a facility that was designed to be both a prison and a feast of scientific advancement, buried in the ground and having little need to have any come to the top three prison levels for any more than resupplying. It was a revolving door of fresh faces and experimentation, hidden within plain sight and maintained by an apparent good standing in a functioning if hard penal system.

Rumlow hadn't had a chance to look at the date when he was stolen from the hospital room, not exactly his first priority. He knew upon awakening and being told he was at the Hive that he had been traded to another division to use up what was left of him. That was fine by him as all previous estimations were that he would never been fully functional as an agent again with the extent of damage that he had suffered. He was fine living out the rest of his life being of service.

Except he didn't die.

HYDRA was always on some advancement, and it seemed interested in the relative youth of the super-soldiers and the limited youth effects of Centipede. It had a good serum made up that was in test phase, and who better to test the effects on then the washed out remains of soldiers from the Washington D.C. failure. It began slowly at first and earnestly when responses were recorded. Alphas, fueled by testosterone and aggression and dominance, showed little production and response, though there was some age-stopping effects noted. Betas, the middle ground that swayed between nature and nurture, were moderately successful and lost a few apparent years and maladies that were associated with age. Omegas, nurturing and estrogen based and designed to take all manner of punishment, responded better than anyone expected. Years bled away (literally), they returned to prime 'breeding' years as it was called and they were suddenly on great interest.

Brock had healed well, his scarring bleeding away with the years that reversed him. Aches, pains and old injures sorted themselves out. He was a rarity. Among the omega population, only twenty percent were born male and the rest were all female, who had a more nurturing nature. His rarity had been a curse for most of his life, only HYDRA saving him from life in the underbelly. He had joined first because he had been guaranteed heavy duty and very experimental suppressants; as one of the few male omegas, he had first crack at them and disregarded any danger associated with them. It was better to be on them than risk heats every three months in his prime.

Now with the experimentation at its peak, he was back to where he had started when he was twelve and showed his nature. He hadn't been on suppressants since the Triskelion had fallen on him, and his highly regarded and coveted 'maleness' fell away. His hips ached constantly, the scent glands on his neck had developed out of forced dormancy, a considerable amount of his old musculature had not returned despite his aggressive attempts, and looking every bit like the man he had been when he was twenty-five or so, even his facial hair, once so prized by him and always left somewhat rugged, struggled to grow.

Worse, his second heat in twenty-five years had come and gone, leaving him in isolation so as not to send all the other omegas (all female but one other) into heats of their own.

The worst of it was the itch that he had spent most of his time ignoring getting stronger. At first, he thought little of it until the noises of doctors and guards alike giving orders and hurried moving equipment and paperwork. Within hours, the itch grew and Rumlow knew. The Hive had been discovered and was being taken down by whatever remained of SHIELD or the Avengers or whatever organization was giving HYDRA the chase around at this point. He had hoped that he wouldn't come, but the thin thread of bond that was still so new and foreign was searching and crawling through his mind. It was deep already.

Wilson.

Rumlow remained at the back of his cell, his knees pulled up and his arms resting across them as he stared at the door. The prison jumpsuit was almost threadbare and at least see-through in more than a few places, an indication of the time that had passed. It was probably too much to ask that he would be passed over in the raid, and he huffed softly at the sound of gunfire and the invasion. Perhaps Wilson would consider him a lost cause and let him go, but no... even with only thirty minutes of contact, his near death and then disappearance, the bond remained unbroken. Who would leave their bond behind? Him maybe.

Maybe not with his hormones running on full, and while he certainly wasn't a typical omega, he still was one. Certain rules of his nature applied even after thirty years of neglect of them and the same amount of time hating them. He had learned long ago how to manipulate with his hormones; he could do so again as long as his bond didn't step in. Chances? Slim to none.

"Don't do it. You'll regret every single moment of it," he whispered at the closed door. "I'll make you regret."

"It's not so bad," Steve's easy reply came with a shrug. "Spent too long without him there."

Sam was the one to shake his head.

"Yeah, have fun making it back anywhere on your own." There'd been a brief sweep for trackers before getting into the van, who knew if Rumlow had anything internally that'd let HYDRA know just where he was but he wouldn't put it pass them. Hill still had a scatterer running, enough noise being produced that should throw anything off.

"What do you think I'm doing?" He was probably going to regret that question, wasn't he?

“But not guarding, okay.”

Sam considering himself to be though he had to keep reminding himself he was somewhat compromised right now. Every time Rumlow went to draw in his scent it was obvious. It brought a curling want right back to the front of his mind – one that needed to draw Rumlow closer to him than just at his side, mesh them together and...

“It probably would have been a lot easier if one of us had kicked it, true. I spent the first couple of months figuring you would. It felt...flickering. Then it got stronger.”

Despite the distance. Despite their ages and the brief amount of time around one another. Despite pretty much everything that should have made bonding impossible between them or at least sent the tether fraying and dissolving once they weren't in immediate proximity.

“Likelihood someone's going to come and try and put you down?” HYDRA wasn't so fond of loose ends they could tie up, after all.

Thinking about HYDRA recapturing him, taking him away earned a clipped growl- gone almost as soon as it formed. Sam shook his head though he knew it was completely viable. Years just...gone. Rumlow had the unfortunate privilege of being some sort of fountain of youth, or at least a product of it.

“I am,” he insisted. He wouldn't let anyone hurt Rumlow and he wasn't going to let Rumlow harm anyone else as much as possible.

But he'd admit, he was too easily distracted now and the moment he felt Rumlow reach for their bond his attention fell solely to that. His eyes shut and he sighed, tension bleeding out from him as he stopped pushing the awareness away and just let it run through. It felt like finally bedding down after a long day, the air cold around but everything cozy and perfect and right underneath the covers.

He knew what home left like and he knew, so acutely, that he hadn't felt it ever since SHIELD came down.

Just this much contact was already strengthening the hungry thread, building it further. Sam reached out without thinking, needing contact along with the wrap of their minds and slid his hand down Rumlow's forearm until their wrists were pressed together, scents mingling just above the line of the cuffs.

It felt right. Resonating all through him. Sam turned his head in and towards his bond, wondering how the hell he could miss someone he barely knew this much.
Sunday, March 22nd, 2015 04:07 pm (UTC)
Too much. Too much all at once after nothing and Rumlow hadn't even had the same resources or freedom to try and stave off the effects of being separated for so long. Sam felt his panic well as he turned to him and his fingers reached down, threading with Rumlow's like it was the most natural thing in the world and held tight.

That wasn't really reducing contact but he found that he was moving automatically, instinct guiding him in what he should do. He wanted to kiss him- feed at his mouth with the brutal intensity ripping at them both but he had the good sense to know that if he started he wouldn't be able to stop. Again, Steve's presence was a godsend and a torment. He wasn't going to get on and start rutting with someone else watching.

But that desperate keen, Rumlow's wide searching eyes made him want and need to do something. God, it was too strong. They shouldn't be like this with HYDRA making Rumlow some sort of engineered omega. Something should be wrong.

He set his face into his omega's neck without thing, nuzzling close to tilt it back. At the same time he took the mass of their bond and dragged it back in his head, shifted the tide so it was flowing towards him more than anything else. Sam grunted at the intensity, a shudder running down his spine but he breathed in Rumlow's scent and found strength in that. “Right here. I'm right here. I've got it. Easy.”

Teeth nipped but didn't bite. They ached too, though. God, did he ever want to mark him.

Rumlow ripped himself away with a violence that echoed in his head far more painfully than the yank and scrape of his cuffs against his bared wrist. The clanging thud of him hitting the van's walls echoed. Steve's eyes had snapped open, his whole body shifting into the ready but Sam was already shoving himself to the opposite side of the truck, hand coming up to cover his mouth.

“No biting,” he repeated, promising it with a pained knit over his features as his gaze settled on Rumlow's shaking form. Apology was there, for what it was worth. Guilt washed through him thick enough to echo down the bond.

He'd asked back in Rumlow's cell with hitching hopeful uncertainty if they could-

And he didn't know what he'd been thinking.

“Shit, Steve. Steve. I can't hold all this, how do you shut it down- just- make it less-” There were remnants of something raw and lashing from Rumlow cutting into him. That on top of still pulling the majority of the bond like he'd done was threatening to send him into a similar drowning spiral. He hunched over, head dropping between his knees as Steve put himself directly in front of him, leaning close while he tried to talk him through easing the intensity of their open connection.
Sunday, March 22nd, 2015 06:06 pm (UTC)
Maybe it was a testament to both of them being poor guards, assuming a little too much with Rumlow's current state both cuffed and omega, that he got the jump on Steve. Both Steve and Sam jerked up at the snarl, the lunge. Rumlow had the chain around Steve's neck throwing him back in a flash.

Rumlow” Sam barked it, pushing up to his feet even as the resonate of his voice rounded with alpha tones filled the cabin.

The bond flooded open both ways at the same time and with it Rumlow was already leaving Steve, crawling across the brief space and Sam was there to grab him. He hauled him up against the front of the cabin back up on the bench, pressing close on top of him and caging him in. “You stand down.” It was hissed viciously in Rumlow's ear with the same tones. Attacking Steve was not acceptable.

The van lurched to a halt with that final crash, urging them closer for a second before it settled. He heard the front door open but didn't move, too caught up waiting for Rumlow's submission. His very breathing was ragged against the renewed flare of their bond. It didn't hurt but it did through sheer intensity. If they could just calm down it'd probably start feeling overwhelming good again.

So he radiated calm, pulled on a more controlled set of breathing.
Sunday, March 22nd, 2015 11:23 pm (UTC)
Sam wouldn't completely blame his superiors for taking one look at the mess of their bond and deciding that it was too much of a liability to try and fix. At this point he wasn't sure if they could balance each other, nevermind the strength. They'd just shove him in a lab, keep him alive for the feat that HYDRA accomplished with what they did to him and he'd have to go on forward, living with the giant bleeding hole of a missing half as best as he could.

It sounded hellish, honestly.

Sam stayed where he was hovering over Rumlow's form as he heard the front cabin of the truck open and shut. He had closed his eyes once he started focus on his breathing and soothing the thrashing panic being tossed between both of them. Hill's (probably Hill's, no idea if anyone else was up with her in the front) footsteps tracked around the van, muffled through metal.

He opened his eyes just in time for the full treat of Rumlow's impressive glare from under the tossed spill of his hair.

"Yeah, I know. You hate me." Didn't stop him from taking the line of his neck that Sam offered. He hunched forward, dipping down so Rumlow didn't have to strain to have what he was seeking. The back door open and while he tensed he stayed where he was, shifting through the tides of the bond starting to settle instead if giving his whole attention to Steve's low conversation with Hill behind him. The swipe of Rumlow's tongue was fine distraction. Sam had to swallow down the moan that wanted to bubble up. Shivered instead.

The tone was tense and clipped. Not a happy one.

"Wilson?" Hill questioned at length.

"We're good. It's fine. Just a little excitement." One hell of an understatement but hey, what could you do.
Monday, March 23rd, 2015 12:03 am (UTC)
Not that either of them could see it but Hill was strictly giving Steve the most long-suffering expression she could muster. It ramped up several degrees at Rumlow's snarl. She didn't want to have to see more than she strictly needed to, thank you very much.

“Just...keep them decent for when we get there.” The door slammed shut again leaving all three original occupants. Sam relaxed, blowing out a hard breath of air and burying his face into Rumlow's neck in return. He felt the rumble of the engine starting up again and the van pulling forward.

“You know hating everything is really shitty for your blood pressure.” They were curled up in the middle of a van with Captain America politely trying not to intrude and Sam couldn't keep his hand from threading into Rumlow's hair, scratching his scalp.
Monday, March 23rd, 2015 12:34 am (UTC)
“Don't play that card when we both know you're the old one here.” Sam's lips were conspicuously away from Rumlow's neck. The warmth of the bond couldn't wipe away the sheer terror that'd flared at even a hint of a mating bite being laid and Sam didn't want a repeat performance.

He pressed his cheek and and his nose into skin, muttered back with a rumble of annoyance too soon smoothed by Rumlow allowing the touch in his hair. Those little intimacies had always been his bread and butter with relationships even if none of them had been the bonded sort.

They rumble along for a few more minutes before Sam eased himself up, pulling Rumlow with him by his bound hands. Strange as it was he hadn't been thinking about mating in the least as they calmed down but the glint of the metal made him catch on a possibility, a want. “I can't stay braced like than for an hour an a half.”

Sam reached down, picking up his fallen jacket. “Scoot. On your side.”
Monday, March 23rd, 2015 04:14 am (UTC)
“Don't think you can go and be an asshole to everyone I know all the time,” Sam shot back mildly enough. He sat himself on the floor on the van right next to where Rumlow's head was and shoved his jacket at him until there was a lift and proper pillowing. After that he left his arm where it was, half-draped over the edge of the cushion in a position that wasn't really more comfortable but far more sustainable.

He could pet, touch and keep mingling their scents like this which is all he felt like he couldn't get enough of.

“But yeah, about that long.” Sam added to answer the question. “How old are you, anyway?”
Monday, March 23rd, 2015 04:34 am (UTC)
"Well, that's fair warning for one," Sam replied, glancing over to where Steve was watching with his personal brand of dry amusement. One of the most important save for his family. The thought of them made him sober a bit. He hadn't told his family who had a long and strong tradition of impressive bonds about his own. Classified for one and the second-? How was he supposed to explain?

They'd want to meet him, know him, make him a part of the family and at this immediate moment he's really not sure how to mesh both parts of his life with limited bloodshed.

And he'd honestly kill the man if he did anything to his family. Bond or no bond.

There'd been a hint of a smirk on Sam's lips until that train of thought, by the time Rumlow gave him his age it had faded. He whistled though. Not too far off from what he'd estimated. "People offered to give it to me. Turned them down. Didn't want to get too attached."

For a severe bit of irony.
Monday, March 23rd, 2015 05:02 am (UTC)
Probably the latter.

His world was about to narrow down a whole hell of a lot and not all of him could resent Rumlow for it at the moment. More, he chafed against knowing what was waiting once they climbed out of the van at the end of this little trip.

Sam sighed out, laying his head on his outstretched arm. “No joke, man. This is nuts.” To be perfectly frank.

Can we-? The question still echoed in him. Another one started to form which didn't have the easy answer it should have: if they can get this thing dissolved, would they? He figured Rumlow would in a heartbeat for his own freedom, couldn't blame him. He wanted the same but... “You don't reach and I won't. Can't promise it'll keep things as they are right now but it certainly won't add to the process.”
