My dad's officially caught up. He is confused about why hasn't Mordred told everyone about "Emrys" yet. DO YOU REALIZE HOW HARD IT IS TO ANSWER WITHOUT SPOILERS?!

Ahem, on a happier note, he inadvertently inspired me to write an AU for the finale. Not that I'm going to reveal what this inspiration is just yet.

Disclaimer: I think that whoever the real owner of Merlin is really a huge conspiracy. No one owns it, therefore no one can claim it.

Prompt: From me: Arthur's been kidnapped by a crime ring; Merlin uses magic to track him down.

Rating: K+

Genre: Adventure

Characters: Arthur, Merlin, random evil guards

Time Frame: Despite everything, this somehow became a modern fic I suppose?

Summary: In the modern age, Merlin and Arthur have reunited and have kind of become sort of superheroes (not really). Someone gets kidnapped.

Let's Go On An Adventure

There were some loud thumps outside. Smirking slightly, Arthur took advantage of his guards' distraction and head-butted them.

Moments later, the door flew off of its hinges. Merlin lowered his hand dramatically. "You all right?"

"About time you showed up." After Merlin removed his bonds, Arthur wiped away a trickle of blood from his chin.

"Sorry, they saw me coming." Merlin's eyes flashed gold, and two burly guards were knocked into the wall.

"Did you knock over a jug again?" Arthur punched a guard in the face. That is going to bruise, Arthur noted with wry satisfaction.

"Yeah."

Because banter between punches is the best idea in the world.

I can't remember which movie, but I drew inspiration from one of the MCU movies with Black Widow pretending to be a damsel in distress. I want to say that it was the first Avengers movie, but it's been awhile.

So, um, it's kind of hard to say, but, um, next drabble won't feature Merlin and Arthur as the main characters (though there is a tiny little cameo). The last time that happened, it was the Leogana series, the one that you all claimed broke your hearts.
