Daily Entertainment, Songfic Edition!

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you're all as excited for the weekend as I am. (Or at least excited for the next three days if you don't have a weekend per se.)

In honor of #ficfriday, I'm just going to throw out an oldie but goodie.

Song Prompts! Post in with your characters, and other muns can comment, either with a specific lyric, or something from a playlist on shuffle. Write a short (whatever you deem to be short, probably 2-5 sentance) fic based on the lyric.

Have at! <3

late-S4 spoilers, ish

(For everyone else: Based on a hypothetical late-S4 thing we're not actually going to do in-bar, thus containing more actual spoilers for that than our plan.)

Truth be told, they probably wouldn't need the telepathy-inducing rings as long as they could maintain a line of sight; they've always been able to tell each other a lot with a glance. But they can't, and anyway, they're dealing with an immortal psycho who seems to have conned Pete into giving him the Artifact Force, so she can see why Joshua doesn't want to take the chance.

It's not long before it occurs to both of them (all three of them; even with her not-so-low-level panic, the Warehouse is part of this equation now) that not everything in the place is so easily manipulated. Sure, most of it's open to Artifact-Force abuse, but Claudia doubts the dude'll be expecting a sticky string bomb dropped on him from the zip line - and that'll keep him in one place long enough to figure out how to get him into the umbilicus (his immortality experiments probably didn't account for blowing someone to smithereens; it won't be pretty, but it's what they have to do).

The only problem with that is that the sticky string's in Akron sector and Claudia's work station is nowhere near that - but suddenly, she's standing in front of the sticky string, and she grins. This really is the best job perk ever.
