Snake Plissken

Written for justlikedaddy and spider_on_acid. the_rebel_son used with much love.

Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight

OOC: In relations to this


8.2 - Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around,
when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again
Avenged Sevenfold - Dear God

Snake left Mel and his life felt changed somehow. Death always did that but he wasn't that close to her anymore. Hell he'd been told he wasn't welcome and still it crashed on him like a brick building that crumbled around him. It was too close to home maybe, too much like a past he never got to live or something else completely. It didn't matter. He needed to get home.

Plissken drove away from the villa feeling a sickness inside that had been kept away since Taylor died or maybe it was Maggie that was the last moments he felt it. No matter when it was last he felt it again. He had a long flight ahead of him. Too long before he would be home, hours. He didn't want to wait hours. Plissken pulled the rental car to the side of the road and got out. Nothing could wait. Not getting home and certainly not what was on his mind.

There was a means to remedy both. Normally he would have faltered making this call but not today. This was not a request for presence but demand when he called to Lucifer.

"How dare you demand my presence."

Snake turned on the voice using the emotion to set himself like a rock. Nothing Lucifer could say or do today would get an inch. "You owe me some favors."

"What do you require?" Lucifer seemed to relent too easily.

"Can you ensure someone gets to a "good" place after death?" Snake asked as he finally closed the car door.

"Your request is within my means." His words were flat.

"Good." Snake was closing the distance between them. His mind was racing wildly but he managed through something he couldn't explain to maintain control.

"Who do you wish to be spared agony beyond life? Surely you do not speak of some criminal who needs validated for wrongs."

The way Lucifer spoke with disinterest riled Plissken to anger. "No." Plissken all but spit the word with venom. "It's a friend's child."

"The unborn have no place in any world beyond this. They go into the same void you occupy between life and death. There they stay."

"I don't fucking care." Snake was not going to be turned away. "You WILL ensure he finds his way."

"There is no way to be found."

"Then make one." Snake was all but in the face of the angel. "You go soft and forget how to rebel?"

Snake saw a change in Lucifer's eyes. His gut said to run but his pride forced him to stay rooted where he was.

"I will do all in my power to ensure the boy finds peace."

"Good." Snake depuffed a little and looked out toward the west. "Take me home."

"Yours is healthy. Are you certain you wish to greet your wife in this state?"

"Did you know?" Snake asked and his voice was quiet.

"I did." Lucifer had a resolve that seemed on the verge of displeasure. "It is not my duty to choose which children will live a full life."

Snake nodded because really what could he say. "Take me home."

"You are as you wish."

Snake didn't understand until his eye focused. He was no longer in grass but chips of gray slag. It made no sense.

"It is a gift." Lucifer stepped away and Plissken was only aware of it because his shoes disappeared from his sight.

Snake finally turned his gaze up from the ground and saw his own home. Briefly he wondered about the abandoned car.

"Bria." It was a whisper before he burst into a full run. "Bria!"

He was screaming for her by the time he reached the house. All that pent up emotion turned to panic. Loss had seemed distant in regards to his children. Now they were full upon him like a weight.

“There goes our horseback riding.” Snake glared out the back door at the pouring rain.

“Baby.” Bria came up behind him and he shivered at her warm hands running up his biceps. “We’ll have to find something else to do.”

Snake turned curiously looking at her when they came face to face. “Like what?”

“What are you in the mood for?” Her fingers were playing with the buttons of his shirt. Plissken smiled. The first thing that came to mind having the whole house to themselves and standing in the kitchen was the first time they were together. Plissken leaned back against the wall watching her.

“How about we make some tea and watch some TV until we figure it out?” Snake really wanted to put her over the counter like he’d thought about more than once but didn’t. He had all day. Maybe when they made dinner together later he’d entertain that idea again.

“Are you sure?” She was teasing and briefly he wondered if she was interested in what he was thinking.

Snake leaned in and kissed her. “For now. Later I could go for dinner and some dessert.”

Snake slid his hand up over her hips. She purred and leaned in against him. That was almost too much for him to take.

“Come on. Let’s go before I change my mind.” Snake chuckled and tried to move past but she wouldn’t let him.

“What’s your other idea?” Bria asked with a sweet innocence that made his insides knot up.

“I’ll show you later,” Snake was really planning on it now.

“Tell me.” She wrapped her fingers in his shirt and held on.

Plissken’s gaze dropped to her fingers when he felt the fabric get tight around his chest. He leaned in and whispered. “Bend you over the counter, tear off those little panties you got on and fuck you 'til I can’t stand.”

The smile she had as she let go and smoothed his shirt was devilish. Bria was up to something. “You can’t do all of that.”

“Why not?” Snake questioned as she started walking toward the living room. He was watching the short skirt she was wearing swish. She stopped in the archway between the kitchen and dinning room. There, leaning against it, she looked like something out of a porn magazine. All legs and short skirt but not too short.

“I’m not wearing any.” She pushed off the wall and started walking again. Plissken blinked several times before looking at the tea pot. Taking a deep breath he grinned thinking about dinner. Dutifully he made the tea, biding his time. She was out for blood today and he was trapped in the house alone with her. He was suddenly thankful for the rain despite the increased pain in his bad eye. Who knew? Maybe he could use the pain as an excuse for a good massage while they had tea. Seemed promising.

Snake joined her in the den. Bria was already sprawled out on the couch. She looked amazing and he wondered if she knew. So often she thought she didn’t and it pissed him off but he tried to ignore it.

“Got the tea.” Snake sat the pot and two mugs down on the table before bending down to give her a kiss. She tugged his hand and he gladly slid in behind her with his back to the couch and Bria wrapped in his arms. The change in position too fast brought a spike of pain to his head. Plissken couldn’t help but wince.

“Baby?” Bria was concerned.

“Just the eye. Damn rain.” Snake grumbled waving off her concern.

Bria reached over and started rubbing the temple next to his bad eye. Plissken went slack from the surge of pain followed by absolute relief. The pressure of her fingers pressing into his head caused him to groan. He rarely felt a moment without crushing pain in his head.

“God… uh…mmmm... I love you.” Snake moaned the words out as he had a moment to relax and not feel the tension and pain pressing in on him.

“I know.” Bria whispered kissing his forehead. Her fingers started working circles over his scalp. Certain areas of his head caused his whole body to tingle and others just killed the pain always surging from his eye into his back. All of it felt wonderful. He let his eye close.

“Keep this up and I’ll do anything you want.” Snake meant it. There was nothing that could compare to how much he wanted the absence of pain even for a few minutes. His usual scowl relaxed into a slight smile. He felt at peace.

“Anything?” She asked still stroking his head in just the right places.

“You name it honey.” Snake pressed his head back into her fingers feeling even the dull aches fading away as he relaxed.

“Are you sure?”

Snake couldn’t see her grin but he didn’t need to. He could hear it in her voice.

“Lay it on me honey.” Snake turned his head making her fingers work over the left side of his head.

“Ok.” She fell silent before leaning forward to whisper. “I want to go riding in the rain with you. Then come home and get in the Jacuzzi, wash my hair. Cuddle.”

“Mmmmmm.” Snake liked the idea even if it meant she was going to stop rubbing his scalp. “I like how you think.”

His eye opened as he started to grin. “Do I get some active cuddles with that?”

“If you’re good.” Bria kissed his forehead again.

“I’m not just good. I’m the best.” Snake wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to his chest. The pain rushed back but he didn’t mind. He was used to the pain. Bria was giggling and that was all that mattered.

“You best get out and saddle your horse.” Bria poked his ribs and Snake cried out.

“Watch out or I’ll saddle you.” Snake threatened playfully.

“Not if you don’t behave.”

Snake rolled his eye. “Nothing like asking for a miracle.”

“I believe you can do it.” Bria whispered against his neck.

Plissken went silent after she said that. It meant more than a little tease in a playful romp to Snake. He couldn’t help taking it that way. He gave her a hug and kissed her cheek.

“Come on.” He pushed her up a little. “Let’s go make you happy honey.”

Plissken took her hand and got up with her. It hit him like lead. Her words were still lingering. She’d be his wife in a few days and right now, after saying what she had, he felt like she already was for the first time since they were together.

Some people say that love's a losin' game
You start with fire but you lose the flame
The ashes smolder but the warmth's soon gone
You end up cold and lonely on your own

I'll take my chances babe I'll risk it all
I'll win your love or I'll take the fall
I've made my mind up girl it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

"You'll Accompany Me" - Bob Seger
Snake walked toward the house trying to understand what he had done wrong. He tried to teach her and it was an insult and when he didn't he was belittling her because she didn't know what to do. She was his own personal rock and a hard place. He really couldn't take it. Everything he suggested was an attack in her eyes when all he wanted to do was give her what she said she wanted.

His mind turned to his home when he slid the shed door open. His old bike sat there battered and dirty still like the day he'd showed up here. Everything was so dangerous back home. She just went on believing it was just like Greece, just like here. Snake had seen so many good people, prepared people, die.

The fear was rising in him. It was her need to prove herself and the dangers of the crazies. He feared she would just charge blindly into them to prove something to him. He was thinking about Maureen being pulled through the floor. His ears filled with her screams as they started taking bites out of her even as he tried to save her. Xena would never believe that something like that could happen to her but it could. Snake had watched whole squads of USPF with AK's fall under that swarm of humanity. He just hoped if they encountered that she would listen and run.

Plissken idily brushed the dust off the worn leather bags. He wanted a woman to run with and he thought Xena would be that woman. Now he discovered it was more dragging her along because she couldn't accept any of his skills or knowledge were worth a piece of shit. She wanted to be useful but refused to learn. What could he do? Nothing, other then be there to rescue her when they got home and she found things were as bad as he claimed.

Snake straddled the bike leaning forward on the gas tank. He was trying to clear his head so he could pack and get his gear ready. All he could see though were all the people he'd seen die. He was half tempted to leave her behind but then he'd just be fueling her hatred of him or whatever it was. Snake tried to think of anything at all. All he thought about was the woman he saw ride off on the horse.

Sitting up again he rubbed his wrists. Someone had put cuffs on him he couldn't break. He didn't want to break them oddly enough. He lived for the feeling, to be in love, to give everything he had and more to one woman. She scoffed at it and claimed his greatest joy was merely a ploy to break her down. Sighing Snake stood and wandered out to the pasture fence and stared at the horizon. There was a lump in his throat. He missed her already but if he asked her to stay she would see it as one more prison he was trying to erect for her.

He leaned on it watching Lucifer prance.

"I know your girl is gone with mine." The stallion tried to bite him as he rubbed his nose. Snake watched the horizon and then sighed as the horse chewed at his jacket cuff. Snake had a heavy heart as he looked away from the field and turned toward their house. His fingers twisted the ring on his finger. He couldn't help but wonder what she thought of it. Did she think it was a collar, a chain? Snake looked down at the gold band. He thought of it as a promise. It was nothing more then a reminder of the words he spoke at the altar. He meant every one of them. He hoped she did too. Maybe all of this was just her reaction to all the anxiety. It would calm and pass. He could wait for her come to terms with herself, with the "us" they had created. He always did.

Snake pulled away from Lucifer and headed for the house. He would force himself to concentrate on packing and his gear. There wasn't much else to do except wait for her to come back so he could grovel and apologize one more time to the woman he loved..
