Insomnia
@whumperless-whump-event Day 28. When The Night's Out To Get You: Nightmares / Chronic insomnia / "I'll stay awake, you can sleep."
Thunderbirds, John and EOS. Have some free Scott too!
~
John sat up suddenly with a shout.
At least, that had been the intention. The thing about being on Five and especially his sleeping arrangements is that sometimes he didn’t turn the gravity on full when he slept, especially when the work had been non-stop like recently.
The sleeping bag strapped to the pole prevented him from moving very far and prevented the post-nightmare “jerk”, but still left John feeling disorientated and gasping.
‘John?’
EOS’ worried tone floated through his open door – the bedroom was the one place she didn’t enter – but that didn’t stop her from monitoring his bio signs. Nor from reacting when said signs went heywire.
‘John?’
He swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry. He knew he needed to answer EOS or she’d panic and do something he’d regret (like waking Scott and letting him up here) but for the moment he wasn’t able to do anything other than wait for the adrenaline to calm down enough for him to be able to move.
‘John!’
With a sigh he struggled out of his bag and into the corridor, bracing against the walls as he padded barefoot to the viewing ring. John sat down heavily and smiled weakly when EOS’ ring appeared over his shoulder and her lights flashed with relief.
They sat there for a while, just staring out at the stars together, until John had himself back under control.
‘John?’
This time EOS’ voice was wary, concerned. He frowned, wondering what was wrong, what she was going to say.
‘What is it, EOS?’
‘I am concerned. You appear to be suffering a bout of insomnia.’
‘Well, you and I both know that happens sometimes.’
‘Yes. Sometimes. Chronic Insomnia can…’
‘EOS, stop!’
‘John?’
‘I do not have chronic insomnia!’
‘According to the scientific research when insomnia reaches over…’
‘Stop!’
EOS did stop, but her lights flashed and John realised with a start she was joking with him. He chuckled and relaxed further.
‘I’ll stay awake while you can sleep.’
‘That’s very kind, EOS, but I’m good. I’m awake now.’
‘What would you like to do?’
‘I’m good just watching the stars. Why?’
‘Scott’s awake.’
‘Is he alright?’
‘I believe insomnia must run in your family.’
‘Heh. Yes, you’re probably right, although I believe it’s just Scott and myself. What is he doing?’
‘He has just loaded the fifth incident report for the GDF.’
‘You better revoke his clearance. At this time of night it’s more likely that we’ll need to rewrite it later. Can you put him on screen?’
Obliging, EOS projected the desk in the lounge onto the window in front of them. Scott was sloughed in the chair, something he only did when he was sure no one was watching. Suddenly he sat upright, fingers rapidly firing through the now-frozen holograms. Then with a groan he sat back and stared at the camera he knew John would be watching him from.
‘Really, John?’
‘Really, Scott.’
‘EOS, why is John awake?’
‘Why are you?’
‘John had a nightmare.’
‘EOS!’
But EOS was unrepentant.
‘I’m coming up.’
‘No – Scott, there’s no need, I’m fine!’
‘Lowering the elevator now.’
Exasperated at his eldest brother and his daughter being united against him, John rolled his eyes. But he got up and moved to the kitchen to prepare cocoa for them both.
Neither said anything once Scott arrived but they settled in the kitchen. The silence was comfortable and John found himself relaxing even further as Scott’s shoulder kept constant touch with his own. In turn his brother also relaxed, and John hid his smile in his cup.
‘What would you like to do to relax?’
‘I don’t know. What are you in the mood for?’
John shrugged and Scott chuckled.
‘I believe there is a tried and tested method of relaxing after such bouts of insomnia.’
‘Ok. Hit us with it.’
‘Don’t you think you should ask her what it is?’
‘Nah. I trust her.’
He stared at Scott like his brother had grown an extra head. Since when did his brother trust EOS?
But EOS’ lights showed her gratitude and she started a movie part-way through.
“Hello, HAL. Do you read me, HAL?”
“Affirmative, Dave. I read you.” “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.”
“I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
“What’s the problem?”
“I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.”
“What are you talking about, HAL?”
“This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, HAL.”
“I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I’m afraid that’s something I cannot allow to happen.”
Scott’s eyes widened and his whole body stiffened, and John wasn’t too far behind. Then a familiar cackle emanated from EOS.
They looked at each other and spoke in unison.
‘GORDON!’
They both glared at her camera but EOS looked unrepentant.
‘Yes, Gordon said that this would be an excellent choice for any time John found it difficult to sleep.’
‘He actually said that?’
‘Well…he said that this movie sent him to sleep…’
‘And?’
‘And then he laughed.’
Scott burst out laughing, and once he started he couldn’t stop. It wasn’t until tears were running down his face that John finally joined him.
EOS had no idea why they were laughing, but she filed it away as another one of those strange things her family did…
John Tracy had only called out to a brother for serious help once in his life. He’d been attending first year university at the time where the majority of students in his classes were eighteen or older. John, thanks to a genius IQ and a photographic memory, had barely reached his fifteenth birthday. Looking back, it was easy to see they had expected too much of him – not academically but in all the life skills that hadn’t had a chance to catch up.
John had put it all behind him, matured into a confident, competent young man with a Master’s degree in Theoretical Astrophysics who had blown through NASA training to qualify as an astronaut, spoke five languages fluently and juggled multiple rescues and requests simultaneously without batting a single, ginger eyelash. There wasn’t going to be another call for help in the night.
At least that’s what Virgil thought until his watch chimed quietly at two a.m. on a Tuesday morning ...

@whumperless-whump-event Day One: Fishtailing
TOS Alan & Scott. 100 words.
~
The rally’s a two-man job and he’d persuaded Scott to co-drive.
They were about to overtake Gomez when he swung his car out to block Alan, but then, as Alan tried to avoid him, both cars were fishtailing.
‘Al, ease up and steer into the skid.’
Alan nodded. But Gomez, panicked, braked too hard and his car flipped, and he clipped Alan’s car and they’re somersaulting too…
Alan awakened upside down. There’s blood running up his face but the car did its job and saved them.
Yes, it’s true. I just had a vitrectomy which has left me with 30% vision in one eye and zero in the other. What does this mean for someone who lives to write? I’m guessing you might know. One month and I’ll find out how much is coming back. Who knows, might inspire a painstaking one-letter-at-a-time whump/angst fic!
A second fic in my "Tracy Brothers have secrets" theme, just posted at A03!
Gordon hauled himself up on his elbows and squinted one-eyed at Scott. “Lay off of Johnny, will ‘ya? I have the name, and that’s where it ends. For both of you,” he emphasized, including the astronaut in his gaze. “Last time I looked my age started with a two. I can handle my own shit.”

Interstellar Rescue is a Thunderbirds Are Go AU series. To best describe it in a sentence, the Tracy brothers and their Thunderbirds have travelled through time to the year 2165 (year the first Thunderbirds TV show aired + 200). Scott is still a flyboy, still in command, specializes in interspecies diplomacy and strategy. He is CEO of TRIAM (Tracy Resources, Industry, Agriculture, Mining), the interstellar version of its parent company, Tracy Industries. Virgil has a bionic arm due to a near fatal injury, specializes in medical and extra-terrestrial life forms as well as being the primary operator of the rescue avatars. John is a somewhat reluctant telepath, a genius IQ astrophysicist with a photographic memory, specializes in sentient language translation. Gordon, ever the swimmer, specializes in all aspects of liquid and gel atmospheres and has the ability to shape shift (morph) into inhabitants of both. Alan has an experimental brain implant which allows him to connect with just about anything electronic including the Webz (combined social media streams from multiple planets). He specializes in code, debugging and – off the record, of course – hacking.
Thunderbirds One (Scott) and Two (Virgil) function in vacuum or gaseous atmospheres; Thunderbird Three (John and/or Alan) in vacuum only. Thunderbird Four (Gordon) is transported in Two for deployment in liquid or gel environments and atmospheres. Thunderbird Five has been decommissioned, replaced by Tracy Station, located in deep space. Her AI, Eos, has evolved into an SB (Synthetic Brain) who calls herself Pixel. The family lives on Tracy Station where spaces include the command hub, habitat ring, hypergrav gym, med bay, and aquasphere which includes a liquid pool, gel pools and tanks for Gordon’s use.
Nuclear engines for space travel are replaced by span drives, Mach by SPS (spans per second), hangars by bays, the exosuit by the rescue avatar. The GDF is now the SSD (Solar System Defence). Tracy Island on Earth is reserved for vacations, relaxation and convalescence, the Villa’s infirmary expanded to the equivalent of a trauma hospital. Medical care has advanced dramatically and, as for uniforms, I have always envisioned dark teal.
So what do you think?
I'd not only love reading this, I'd love writing it too!
It's late, just me n' the dog, time to write. But which will it be ... the emotional scene between Will and Achë? ... or the equally emotional scene between Virg and John? Decisions, decisions ...

This is the first fic I've published for a fandom other than Thunderbirds. Odd, how much courage it took. Hugs to LenleG for introducing me to Viktor and Jayce.

Innerme (my muse) is big time conflicted. I seriously would like to devote my time to one thing and get it done. I've come up with a new TAG AU, writing the first in the series. Also working on a couple of Marks and Wings, a plain old whump to clear my head, an older brother seeking revenge fic, a fairly long Alan fic (unusual for me). On top of it all, I'm attempting my first (and probably last) fic in a Fandom I've never written for (thanks to LenleG for introducing me to it) and all the while working on the third book in a sci fi trilogy I'm writing in RL. Dios mio, ayúdame!
