#twentysix

I introduce to you: TwentySix. Because the outbreak/Joel’s birthday is the 26th, and Sierra Six…. Are we seeing the vision guys

Okay picture Court Gentry, with about a decade’s worth of experience as Sierra Six, halfway into completing a job somewhere in Boston when it’s called off suddenly, people everywhere are dying, cities are being bombed and theres apparently zombies running rampant.

He tries to find somewhere safe to hide for then, he calls Fitzroy with lots of questions and needs an extraction because he has nowhere to go at the moment and gets no response.

It’s getting too hard to hide so he joins the crowd being evacuated to the Boston QZ.

There, he meets Tess, Joel and Tommy, and becomes part of their smuggling crew.

Somewhere inbetween yaoi happens, boom Joel x Court i guess idk how to write romance

One day Fitz manages to somehow contact him (idk im pulling all of this shit out of my ass rn) asking him to do one final job because technically he’s still Sierra Six, it was a lifetime contract thing…

Anyway, this urgent order from Fitz requires him to leave immediately, right before a big smuggling job. Obviously the rest of the crew would be upset with this.

which is to help his niece Claire survive because idk. They manage for a while but one day her pacemaker fails and Court has no choice but to watch her die.

10 years later, Court crosses paths with Joel and Ellie. Joel obviously has mixed feelings because he’s happy to see him again but also mad at him for leaving for a whole decade. So he’s having an internal crisis.

More angst potential is Ellie reminded Court of Claire. Guys do we see the vision

It would be kinda awesome if Court gets to reunite with Colt and Ryland too some way some how…

Headcannon: This is a “disguise” for whenever 26 has to work in public to not look suspicious. At least, it was… He’s been seen wearing this sort of fashion much more often in a casual manner.

Heavy inspiration from decora fashion!
