Heyy Guys!! It's my first fanfic for nearly a decade!!!! I'm going to try again with a Thunderbirds fanfic, movieverse!
Enjoy!!
Chapter 1
It was dark, he felt lonely, he was cold. Shivers ran down his spine. He gasped for breath but couldn't fill his weak lungs with air. Was he dying? Was this the end?
24 hours earlier….
John Tracy stared out of the clear window of his Thunderbird, smiling as he thought to himself how peaceful earth looked from space and how safe he felt. It was just over a year since the Hood had attacked his family and made International Rescue insecure and look like a failure to the whole world, but the Tracy family came back strong, and the Hood never returned.
His time was up for another month on the space station, John was happy. He knew Alan was going to spend his first time up in the space station and he had every faith in his little brother, he had the training, he shadowed John for a couple of weeks, if the patriarch was happy, so was John.
"Thunderbird 5 to Tracy Island, come in."
Jeff swivelled round on his chair and pressed the intercom button, smiling at the screen as his second eldest appeared on the screen in Front.
"Hey John, you caught me in time. I was just going to get a coffee" John rolled his, as long as Jeff Tracy was around, coffee would never go out of business.
"Just waiting for an ETA on Thunderbird 3? I just want to come home" Jeffs eyebrows knitted together. His space loving son was never excited to come home! Was he ill?
"ETA 2.5 hours, are you ok son? You're not ill are you?" Virgil overheard as he walked past his father's office and sprung into medic action and bolted for the computer. John took a deep breath in at the sight of his younger brother in a state of panic.
"Virgil, I'm fine thanks before you ask. I'm excited to get back home and get some decent food, I could sure do with a good meal"
John winked at his younger brother. Virgil nodded in agreement, food on board thunderbird 5 was basic to say the least.
"I'll let you go and pack John, I'll make sure dinner is ready for you for when you arrive"
"FAB dad, thanks. See you later." John cut the link with his father and went to pack. He thought to himself it would be a long 2 hours ahead.
John packed his stuff up and went to listen to some signals across earth for a while. Deep down he hoped for no emergency calls but nothing was guaranteed. He closed his eyes and let himself doze off for a little while.
Thunderbird 5 to Tracy Island, Mayday! Mayday!
I'm losing all power, I repeat, I'm losing all power
Re-entry into earth's atmosphere in 37 minutes
John bolted up, sweat pouring from his forehead. Taking a deep breath in, he wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. He couldn't let Alan and Gordon see him like that.
"John? John? Do you read me?" John recognised the voice of either a very frustrated or very concerned Gordon but John was too tired to care.
"Thunderbird 5 to Thunderbird 3, reading you loud and clear"
"John! Where have you been? We've been trying to get through to you for the past couple of minutes! I nearly sent a distress signal to dad."
John sighed deeply, he didn't mean to upset his brothers but he just wanted to have a nap.
"I'm sorry Gords, I must've dropped off. Initiating docking sequence I presume?"
"Yes please, see you in a couple of minutes"
John got up from his chair, stumbling as a wave of dizziness hit him.
You can call me the hood
John shook his head to clear the voice and carried on to his room to collect his bags.
The door of thunderbird 5 opened and there appeared Gordon and a very excited Alan who's excitement vanished when he saw a flushed face, sweating John exiting the bedroom.
"Hey sprout, you ready to do your first term up in my baby?" Alan gave John his concerned look and nudged Gordon for back up. Alan knew something was up with his older brother.
"John, what's wrong? You're not well" Gordon went over to John and put the back of his hand against John's sweaty forehead.
"You're burning up big brother, I better warn Virgil." Just as Gordon went to activate his communicator, John put his hand over it.
"You warn Virgil, and trust me fish feet, you'll take the scenic route back home." Alan couldn't help but snigger at his blonde brother's rare but fiery temper.
"Any problems sprout, call me and fish feet will give me a ride back here ok?" Alan rolled his eyes.
"I'll be fine John, now go, before I change my mind and I warn Virge." John sighed in defeat, he picked up his bags and walked towards the door towards thunderbird 3. Turning to face Alan, John gave his little brother an approving nod before leaving with Gordon and coming home to earth.
