#‘we don’t acquire the engines when the class is withdrawn’

D7102 (1/10)

Fuck it let's write something

I blame @mean-scarlet-deceiver. Like, this is 100% their fault.

1970

D7101 is a diesel hydraulic locomotive on the Island of Sodor. He came to the Island several years ago along with another engine, D199. Both engines failed during their trials, and had to be rescued by Henry, who himself had failed as well.

Because his personality had failed just as badly as his mechanicals, D199 was sent back to the other railway in disgrace. D7101, on the other wheel, was a pleasant, personable, and all-around likeable engine, and so The Fat Controller had retained him, using the diesel on The Limited as well as freight services.

7101 has fit in quite well on Sodor - he is especially close to Henry, with whom he struck up a friendship after their "super rescue" during the trial period.

One morning 7101 was sitting in the yard when The Fat Controller approached him.

"7101, may I speak to you for a moment?"

"Of course sir."

"I have a small problem, and I will require your help to determine an outcome." If 7101 didn't know any better, he'd say that The Fat Controller looked embarrassed.

"What is it sir?"

"Well, you see, when I acquired you for this railway, your Region was... less than inclined to give you up."

7101's eyebrows rose. "What does that mean?"

"It means that they never agreed to a transfer, no matter how much I argued. Technically, you are still here on trial."

"But sir, it's been three years! I've been repainted!" 7101 exclaimed. He thought he'd been one of The Fat Controller's engines.

"Yes you have, and as far as I'm concerned, that makes you one of us. Now, I came over here to ask you if you wished to stay, but I think I know what your answer is. Now the question is, how can we make the Western Region come around to our way of thinking...?"

-

Two days later, the Fat Controller was informed that the head of the Western Region was traveling to Tidmouth to personally track down his engine.

Forced to accelerate his scheming, he eventually managed to hatch a master plan.

-

"I feel like a stolen car!" 7101 complained as the men painted over his numbers with quick-dry paint.

"That’s because you are." Henry said, sotto voce. The Fat Controller had claimed that he needed a "reliable presence", and had recruited Henry into his plan.

7101 laughed a little at that, knowing that Henry held no malice towards him. He really liked this Island - the engines were friendly, and everyone seemed to care about each other in a way that you didn't get on the mainland. He didn't want to leave.

-

A few minutes later, with his 'new' numbers drying on his side, 7101 watched from the yard as the Fat Controller left his office in Tidmouth Station, following a tall man in a sport coat.

"-now I know that you're full of it, Hatt! I can see it! And why've you repainted it? They're going to the chop soon anyways. And what the hell is that next to it? Is it 1930 all over again?"

7101 gulped. He knew his class was non-standard, but he hadn’t realized that he could be withdrawn so soon. Now he really didn’t want to leave.

"Frederick," Growled the Fat Controller, his voice unexpectedly harsh. "As I have said four times now, this is not your engine, and this is not your region."

"Bullshit. This is my locomotive! It's a Hymek! Do you know where every other Hymek is? MY REGION! Except this one!" Frederick was a very excitable man, and was practically jumping up and down in an effort to prove his point.

"I think that if you investigate a bit more, you will discover that D7102 is most definitely not yours."

"7102? 7102? They only go up to 101!"

"Well, as you can clearly see, this engine is D7102, not D7101, whom we returned to the Western Region three years ago."

"What I can clearly see is that you have a stencil and a pot of paint around here somewhere! What kind of a moron do you take me for Hatt?! This is my engine!"

"Excuse me sirs," Henry said suddenly. "But 7101 was sent back in 1967. This is Bear, we got him from the Midland Region."

Frederick began to turn purple, while the Fat Controller suddenly found the ballast beneath his feet to be of great interest.

"The Midlands!? What?!" Frederick shrieked like a tea kettle.

"Yes." Henry ploughed on with his lie. "He was borrowed from Carlisle and then The Fat Controller decided to keep him."

"Reeeeaaalllllly?!" Frederick was unimpressed. "And what say you, Dee-seven-one-oh-two? Are you magically from Carlisle?"

7101 had no idea why Henry had decided to call him 'Bear', but decided to apply the one fact he knew about Bears to the situation.

He growled unintelligibly, making it seem like he had answered his question like a Bear would.

"What the fuck was that?!" Frederick was turning puce.

"He doesn't speak." Henry and The Fat Controller said at the same time.

Mr. Frederick was so upset that he had to go sit down, and didn’t notice the astounded glances the three Sudrians made at each other.

"I give up!" He shouted after he took his heart medication. "Keep the damn thing! It's not worth it! You're nothing but a fucking thief Hatt! A brazen criminal with a suit! You'll get yours!"

With that, he strode off to the station. Henry, 7101, and The Fat Controller watched him go.

"If he thinks that this was brazen," The Fat Controller said slowly. "I hate to think of what he'd say about my father."

"What did your father do sir?" 7101 asked as Henry rolled his eyes at the memories of the First Fat Controller.

"Well, to start, he stole Thomas from his original owners."

“And Edward.”  Henry chimed in.

“And Edward.”

"One of the original express rakes was acquired through insurance fraud."

“Was it? I thought that was just most of the fish vans." ”

“Yes.”

“Interesting.”

"And the station clock."

"No, that 'fell off a goods wagon'".

"Did it? He must have been feeling brave that day."

7101 listened with raised eyebrows and wide eyes. "Does this mean that I'm one of you now?"

Henry and the Fat Controller, stopped, looked at each other, and burst out laughing.

“Yes!” The Fat Controller eventually said. “If there was any doubt left, that’s it done! I’ve stolen you from the Western Region just like my father would have!”

“Now you really are one of us!” Henry snickered.

7101 was thrilled!

--

Later

“Henry,” 7101 asked later. “Why did you say I was called ‘Bear’?”

“I don’t know.” Henry said after a moment’s reflection. “I thought that it would be more believable if you had a name.”

“And you chose Bear?”

“There are thousands of words in the English Language, and at that moment I couldn’t think of any of them other than than Bear or Marmaduke, and-”

“MARMADUKE?”

“-And since it isn’t 1874, I said Bear.”

“I’m so pleased you said Bear.”

astle is picking up feminine products for Alexis or Martha (depending upon what age you want him to be) when some teenage boys start teasing him about it. Kate overhears and decides to pretend she is his girlfriend, kisses him on the cheek and thanks him for holding her stuff. (Not myn)

A/N: I get the impression that this was potentially meant as an AU meeting idea, but I hope this is still acceptable!

Set post 3x12, ‘Poof! You’re Dead”.

-

After their comfort food truck dinner, the urge to extend the evening, to refrain from telling her good night is almost visceral, desperate, and the excuse to remain with her awhile longer presents itself in the form of a text message from his daughter.

“Hey, do you mind if we stop by the drugstore on the way to my place, Alexis just texted me and wants me to pick something up for her,” Castle asks as they slide into her cruiser, internally delighted when Beckett nods her assent without hesitation. 

“Sure, is there a particular store she prefers?”

“Nah, anything on the way will work,” he assures her, buckling up while she starts the engine. 

They alternate between small talk and comfortable silence through the drive that takes longer than it should due to traffic, everything about this evening with her a comfort, and that single, dramatized word from his mother flashes through his mind.

He never would have thought something so simple could hold the magic he’d been looking for. 

Kate comes into the store with him, but they part ways for a bit while he wanders towards hygiene, striding towards the feminine products with familiar ease, glancing back to the text from Alexis on his phone to ensure he buys the right brand.

He hears the snicker of voices when he plucks the box of tampons from the shelf, catches sight of the two teenage boys peering at him from the other end of the aisle, cracking up as he snags another box to keep in stock. It doesn’t bother him, never has, but he does roll his eyes at the immaturity. 

“Hey, man, are you sure you got the right box?” one of them calls out. 

“Yeah, sure your girl doesn’t need the supers?” the other teases, but Castle merely nods. 

“I’m good, thanks.”

“You might want to take some of those mini diaper things too, the ones with the wings,” the first chuckles.

“You know, I might. I hear they’d be crucial for bandaging wounds in a zombie apocalypse,” Castle muses, his late nights of binging doomsday prepping shows coming in handy, but the two boys only laugh harder at him. 

“This dude’s pathetic,” he catches one of them get out through his amusement, and the words don’t hurt him - as if he’s going to care what some uneducated, fifteen year olds who spend their free time in a drug store think - but the memories of his own grade school years, before he figured out his niche as the class clown, it elicits are less than appreciated.

Rick checks his phone one more time, texts Alexis to be sure she doesn’t need anything else before he goes to find Beckett and check out, but he pauses at the touch of a hand to his shoulder just as he’s about to press ‘send’.

“Hey, babe,” Beckett hums at his side, her other arm twining through his and the scent of her perfume infiltrating his senses. 

Castle’s eyebrow arches, but it’s nothing compared to the spike of his heart rate when she leans into his side, plants a chaste kiss on his cheek.

“Thanks for holding my stuff,” she murmurs, snagging the boxes of tampons, dropping them into the small basket she’s acquired. 

He doesn’t spare a glance in their direction, but he notices the boys at the other end of the aisle have gone quiet, and he understands.

Beckett must have overheard and now she’s teaching them a lesson.

Castle plays along with the arm he wraps around her shoulders. “Anytime.”

She smirks and tugs him out of the aisle, but keeps her arm linked through his even once he’s withdrawn his and they’re out of their audience’s sight.

“My hero,” he chuckles, relishing in the soft sound of her laughter so close to his ear.

“I hate kids like that,” she mutters, curling her fingers in the crook of his elbow. “You’re a great example of how men should act when it comes to periods.”

Castle straightens his shoulders and puffs out his chest with pride. “The perks of being a single father raising a teenage daughter.”

“Alexis is a lucky girl,” she concedes, releasing him once they reach the register. 

“I used to do the same for my mother,” he shrugs as the employee scans his items. “People just like to make a big deal out of nothing.”

He stretches past her for the candy on display before he has to swipe his card, tosses her favorite brand of chocolate into his bag of purchases, and pays for the items.

Kate hums, the smile on her face soft but illuminating her face as they walk away from the counter, and he tries not to falter as her arm slips through his once more. The warmth of her side brushing his penetrates his coat as they step out into the night, his stride slow to prolong the moment, heating his skin, his soul. 

“Any girl would be lucky to have you then.”
