Blue:Twisted Duty
Blue & Helen's Wedding day, 6th September 1988:
"Do you pledge to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her for better or worse for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, for as long as you both shall live?" the Priest asked Blue.
"I Do."
"Do you, Helen A. Park, pledge to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him for better or worse for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to him, for as long as you both shall live?" the Priest asked Helen as she smiled at Blue.
"I do." Park said.
"If anyone here knows any reason why these two should not be married, speak now, or forever hold your peace." the priest said as the room was silent.
"Then I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride." the Priest said as the entire gathering burst into rounds of applause.
"Already the padre." Blue said as he and Helen began to kiss before the father finished his sentence.
Blue's family was there, including Damien who was out on day release, Ciri, Yennefer, Geralt and Maxis. Adler and Hudson were in the crowd, clapping. Price was Blue's best man while Adler had agreed to walk Helen to the altar.
Blue went to open his mouth and speak but Park put her finger on his lips to stop him.
"No smart arse comments, for now." Park said smiling as Blue chuckled.
"You're the boss." Blue laughed as they walked out of the gathering, Blue's beloved black first generation 1962 Chevrolet Corvette was waiting.
As they got in, Blue ran his hand along the steering wheel, his face wearing a wide grin.
"Where to now?" Blue asked calmly, his voice filled with charisma.
"Home, our honeymoon." Park smirked as Blue revved the engine and sped off.
5 days later, Blue and Park's honeymoon location, the Cotswolds:
Blue arrived through the front door of the house, his hands occupied by bags full of groceries.
"Honey, I'm home!" Blue called through the house as he tossed his keys into the key bowl.
Blue could tell Park was cooking something special, the smell filled the entire house and she had the wireless playing music (The Power Of Love - Huey Lewis & The News) Blue carried the groceries into the kitchen putting them onto the dining table and sorting them into the cupboards, the fridge and the freezer.
"Has Michael J. Fox been through here in a DeLorean?" Blue smirked as he remembered the song.
"God I love that film. How were the shops?" Park sighed as she tested the meal.
"Boring, quiet, normally the way I like it but today it seemed eerie." Blue said as he walked up behind Park and kissed her on the cheek.
"They're usually so packed in this quaint little village aren't they?" Park mused.
"Shi-smegging hell, been asked to give a speech for the local veterans hall next week." Blue sighed as Park laughed.
"I thought you liked helping them, you do counselling for them don't you?" Park smirked as she pointed to the plates next to Blue.
"I counsel for them, doesn't mean I want to spend friday night with them, spend enough time with them at counseling." Blue pointed out.
"Just go and give them a good speech, then you'll be able to have a few drinks with them, it's not that bad." Park said as she noticed Blue staring out the window. She gently poked Blue with a fork in the arm.
"What yeah, I'll do it so long as nothing comes up." Blue said as he returned to reality.
"Are you okay?" Park asked as Blue smiled at her.
"Yeah, I'm here with you. Life couldn't be better." Blue said as he remembered the life he and Park had left behind.
"Not what I meant, what were you thinking just then?" Park said as she rubbed Blue's shoulder.
"No, just thinking about...somethin' stupid, it was nothing, honest." Blue said as he helped Park with serving the food.
"You were remembering an implant weren't you?" Park said as Blue gave a small nod.
"Yeah, just thinking about the memory of Adler and Simms being bladdered, a high ranking officer approached us and Simms was so drunk he just threw up all over the officers shoes. Just before operation Fractured Jaw." Blue said as he finished his whisky.
"What did the officer do to him?" Park asked as she sat down.
"Had Simms and Adler scrubbing rifles for a week." Blue laughed as he ate his food.
2 Days Later:
"How was your first day in the office?" Park said as Blue sighed.
"I prefer being shot at. At least I could fire back at them." Blue said quietly as Park flashed him a glare.
"You work as an operator for the police, it can't be that bad." Park said as Blue scoffed.
"You'd be swearing your head off at them within five minutes, prank after prank, I got a call from a feller asking for money because he was a Jehovah's witness, I told him this channel is for emergency calls only." Blue said calmly.
"Did he ask if he sounded like he was ordering a pizza?" Park joked as Blue laughed tiredly.
"No, mustn't have seen the opportunity." Blue sighed as Park held his hand for a moment. As he lent against the wall, Blue could hear someone talking outside, his mutated senses kicking in as he looked around.
"Blue? Is something the matter?" Park asked, noticing that Blue wasn't listening to her.
"Nothing, thought something was going on next door but it was nothing." Blue said as he gave an innocent smile to Park.
"Anyway, what are you going to be doing about the old directors request?"
"I'm not going to see him. Bastard betrayed me twice, got my friend killed, he can go and get fucked." Blue said calmly.
"Maybe he's trying to warn you about something he's found out about."
"then he should request Price to visit him." Blue said coldly. Park knew that Blue was unlikely to change his mind on the matter.
"The explosion at this airstrip has been narrowed down to a gas leak. While civil engineers have been recovered from the sight many of them have been declared dead, missing or like the case of war veteran Captain John Price critically injured." The News reporter on the TV said as Blue and Park looked at it. Blue heard clicking and noticed headlights shining through the front window of the house.
"Get down!" Blue yelled as he tackled Park into cover. "out the back I'll cover."
As Park ran out the back door Blue dived for a nearby locked cupboard and ripped the door off to reveal two colt M1911 pistols. he stepped out from cover and shot three attackers in the head before diving into another cover. Park was halfway down the street, knowing the plan Blue had relied on her making it back to an old safe house. She sprinted to the nearby safe house and pulled out her old MP5SD, readying herself in a combat vest with her ID in an arm strap. As she began to run back to Blue a police car stopped her.
"MI6, out of the way." Park said showing the officers her badge.
"Ma'am, get in we'll give you a lift." the officer said as Park got in.
Blue hadn't returned fire for a short period, leading the attackers to believe he was either dead or eliminate. as they moved in through the house Blue vaulted over a small couch he was using for cover and wiped the hostiles in the house out. Moments later gunfire burst through the window, forcing Blue to dive behind the kitchen island. Before he could react the suppressed gunshots of Park's MP5SD fired out, just about audible over the AK-47 fire. Blue peeked from behind cover to see Park looking around for any more attackers.
"Are you alright? You've got blood on you." Park asked as Blue instantly walked up to a living attacker, he grabbed them by the collar, Park had only hit him in the leg, a minor injury.
As Blue dragged the attacker to the kitchen a police man tried to stop him before his sergeant stopped him shaking his head at the young officer.
"Son, MI6 business you don't interfere with." the sergeant said as Blue filled the kitchen sink with water.
"Who sent you?" Blue demanded as gazed into the enemy soldiers eyes with a look that could pierce somebody's soul.
"Fuck you!" the soldier said as Blue shoved their head under the water, holding it there for four minutes before raising their head out of the water.
"Who?!"
the soldier was silent. His head went back under the water, this time for six minutes.
"the human body can usually last ten to twelve minutes of this before either dying or passing out, pick your next actions wisely." Blue snarled.
the soldier was silent until his head began a descent back into the water.
"the new leader of Perseus!" the soldier cried out, Blue stopped, holding his head inches from the water.
"You're coming with me. Park, we're heading to the office, pack your bags." Blue said calmly
