Pirates Three: A series of one shots.
I know a lot of people here write a stack of one shots but I was so inspired by watching Pirates Three I just had to get into the characters head and figure out what they were thinking during some scenes. Trust me, no humour intended, all serious.
Chapter One, of Beckett and Swann.
Various parchments had passed their way under Beckett's hand, his new laws and requirements clearly not the apple in the eye of his men. Yet, he knew that they all served a purpose and as such in order to have such laws passed he would need them stamped by a particular Governor.
The quilted haired man sat opposite him, stamping and signing for hours on end, muttering about ridiculous requests. Beckett in the mean time looked up for a mere moment to spy Norrington brandishing his old glory – if it were the appropriate term, causing a small smirk to curl at the corner of his lips. Sometimes things were said, and some things that had been said were in fact too dangerous to be let out.
Executions, of various pirates didn't falter his emotions. He eyed Swann curiously, as Norrington left, and then Beckett rose to his feet and left the room to let the few men lingering in the room discuss certain things. No doubt they would, they were perhaps the untrustworthy types that he figured would be incredible leverage in regards to Governor Swann and his undoubtable return to England.
Oh, he'd return to England all right, in a casket.
Beckett let a coin twirl between his knuckles, waiting for the moment for one of his guards to exit the room where Swann was happily stamping away. "Is it done?" He asked, barely looking him in the eye. Nine pieces of eight...
"Yes".
"Escort Governor Swann to the brig, it shall be carried out there, and if anyone asks where he is..." Beckett paused flicking the coin between his knuckles, pocketing it, and withdrawing a sheet of parchment, "...here are his signed papers to ensure his safe trip back to England".
The guard took the papers. It had already been stamped, no doubt confused with an extradition order. A small smile returned to his lips as he watched an angry Swann being pulled from behind his desk, and pleasantly ignored said words of anger being thrown in his general direction. One down, one to go...
