Note about warnings: Normally, when I do oneshot collections, I put content warnings at the beginning of each individual story. But seeing as this is Hellsing, I figure that if you made it through canon there's not a whole lot my writing can do to hurt you. I'll still warn for stuff that I judge to be sufficiently outside the scope of canon, but other than that, I'm declaring this collection to be read at your own risk. All other tagging principles continue to apply.
Universe: Ultimate
Characters: Integra, Seras
Another street. Another husk of a burnt-out pharmacy. Another stop.
Seras left her sack outside and ducked in to sort through the rubble. There was a time when she might have worried about the ceiling falling in on her or the floor collapsing under her feet, but now, she had no such fears. The building might still collapse, but the time was long past when such things could hurt her.
Thankfully, it was not hard to find what she was looking for—not many looters, in a city where no one had been left alive. Stuffing her bounty into the sack, she slung it back over her shoulder before leaping into the sky.
Supplies were running short, and so was time. She could only hope that she would not be too late.
"Sir!" she yelled, bursting into the room after a short run down the hallway. "Sir, I got it!"
"Took you long enough."
Integra was speaking through clenched teeth, sweat standing out on her face and her brows drawn together with pain. Given the circumstances, Seras couldn't exactly blame her for her snappishness, and hustled into the room to deposit her load.
"This is all that I could find." She opened the sack, and upended it onto the nearest available table.
Bottles and bottles of conditioner spilled out, so many that some of them scattered onto the floor. Integra smiled faintly with relief.
The poor maid who was currently at work attempting to unsnarl her hair, which seemed to have turned into one big mat over the course of the attack, also looked relieved. "Thank you so much," she mouthed over Integra's head.
"Timely as always, Seras. I was starting to be afraid I was going to have to cut it."
A/N: There was a time in my life when I had Integra-length hair. There is a reason I chopped it all off and started taking an electric shaver to my head on a semi-regular basis. So while I was watching the finale, there was always that little Fridge Logic part in the back of my head thinking that okay, she's just been in a car wreck… and stood atop a building amid a burning city with the wind dramatically blowing her hair… and then been flown out of an exploding blimp… seriously, if her super-long luxurious hair isn't all tangled and knotted by the end of that, it'll be a miracle.
