Week 1 - A New Beginning

[dira]

Hello and welcome to the MCU Flash Meme! This is going to be a fusion of an old school LJ flashfic comm and a kinkmeme: there will be a new post every week with the week's prompt (from this list), and all fills to the prompt go in the comments to the post. Fic up to about 2,000 words will fit in a comment, or you can post a link to a tumblr post or work on the AO3. You can use your DW account to comment if you want reply notifications etc., or you can comment anonymously (or comment anonymously because you don't have a DW but link to your tumblr, or whatever floats your boat).

Fun, right? :D?

RULES

1. Marvel Cinematic Universe, liberally construed: MCU movies, TV shows, comics characters who theoretically will be appearing in movies or tv shows, you know, whatever. Knock yourself out.

2. Flashfic! Write it fast, because at the end of the week the roundup post cometh and then we're moving on to a new prompt.
2a. Yeah, or art, or whatever. Make a thing for the prompt! Make it quick! Post or link it in the comments to this post!

3. Don't be an asshole.
3a. Don't like somebody's work? Keep scrolling.
3b. Label your work so people who don't like that kind of thing know to keep scrolling. Canon source, pairing, characters, rating, all a good idea.
Please use warnings for major character death, rape/non-con, graphic violence, and underage sex.

4. Mod will make more rules if mod is forced to. Mod reserves the right to screen, delete, ban, etc. But don't make me do that, guys, I have better things to do. Okay? Okay.

ENOUGH OF THAT, ON TO THIS WEEK'S PROMPT:

A story entitled “A New Beginning”

We got a late start, so this prompt closes and new post opens on Friday, giving you just five days on this one!

Ready, set, GO!

***

He is a shadow, mostly unknown:
Few people know he exists
He is a deadly force, working alone
Killing with kicks, guns and fists

He has been empty, hollowed-out, Black
And they have filled him with lies
Something has happened, though, it's coming back
He fails to remember, but tries

There was a mission; explosions; a fight
A target, supposed to be dead
Kill him! No don't, stop, you can't, it's not right!
Voices inside of his head

The man fell (like he fell), they're both falling down
There's water, there's cold and there's blood
A body (a friend) sinking, He cannot drown!
Out of the water, to mud

He dropped him and left, still but alive
He should have been reporting back
But he sits down, shuts his eyes and takes five
A crack of light in his Black

He made a choice, then, and didn't return
Which is why he's standing here
In a museum, to find and to learn
... after which, he'll disappear

nice poem! really like the use of Black here. there's so much great action in the poem, but also good sensory details. :)
