So I'm typing again for some reason. It may have something to do with the fact that I love Season 13 and I love Wash so much. He is a beautiful little biscuit that needs to be protected at all costs. I love him. So I decided to type again. I'm a loser just saying. We will have to see how long this lasts.
So the head-canon that I have fallen deeply in love with is the CarWash sibling AU. I have dreamed about this AU since the first time I watched Season 10 and now it is getting more attention and I love it. I'm going to be a little out of my comfort zone with the story for a while but stick with me here and I will eventually get to what I really want to type.
This is set during the Project Freelancers days with Carolina and Wash being brother and sister. Obviously the Director is their dad. They have to keep it a secret from the other Freelancers for whatever reason. Now remember, I haven't really ever wrote any other Freelancer that isn't Wash and it will be a work in progress. Anyway Enjoy. Please try to ignore any mistakes I make. I suck I know that.
+Well guys I made a mistake and if you read this, I hope you noticed that I fixed it
Please Read and Review!
(BTW I'm just going to leave Carolina's name the same. I don't want to have any mix-ups on her name or anything like that.)
!~!~!~!~!~!~!(Chapter 1)!~!~!~!~!~!~!
They were a family. At least they used to be. Well they still were technically but they were short one member. The Church family was a small but family, with a long military background on one side, and intelligence on the other. Allison was in the Army, just like many of her family members before her, while Leonard was a scientist. They were newly married and delighted to start a life together, to start a family together. When Allison first found out she was pregnant, she took a leave to have her first child, a daughter. Despite being anxious, like any first time father, Leonard was more than excited upon the arrival of their first child together. When she was born, they agreed on the name Carolina, considering Leonard's whole family with from North and South Carolina. She had been born with the hair of her grandmother, Allison's late mother, a bright and fiery red, but with the green eyes of her father. Years later, Allison was once again pregnant. This time, with a baby boy. While Carolina had been born on a wet Spring morning, their son who they decided to name David, was born on a cold Winter night. What surprised the Church's the most was that David was born with bright blonde hair. Blonde hair was a recessive trait in the Church family, on both sides at that. The most dominant hair colors were Red and Black, so it came to a surprise to Allison when David was born with her hair, the brightest blonde she had ever seen. However, hair color didn't matter to the family, they were complete. Well they were, until they day Allison left.
David was only four, and Carolina was seven, both innocent and unsuspecting children. Their mother left all the time, after all she was busy and served wherever she was needed. They had grown used to her being gone, only because they knew she would always come back to them. Unfortunately this time when she left, she didn't come back. Leonard tried to explain it to his children they best he could, but it was rough. At first, they didn't understand that their mother would never come home. Of course they were both broken hearted when they finally understood the severity of Leonard's words. Carolina, who had always looked up to their mom the most immediately broke down and shut herself off to Leonard and David. All while poor David cried his little heart out and mourned for his mother for as long as he could handle, but Leonard knew that in the end David wouldn't remember his mother when he grew up. Leonard considered him lucky for that. While David would get to forget, Leonard and Carolina were stuck with the memory of Allison, all that she meant to them and everything. That's just how life was, Leonard decided. However he refused to accept the fact that she was gone. That someone as strong and tough as his wife was dead. Leonard would bring her back, if it was the last thing he did.
!~!~!~!~!~!~!(Time Skip)!~!~!~!~!~!~!
"Carolina! Why is training so hard?" Her brother, David, who had taken up the name Agent Washington whined as they were walking back to the West wing of the Mother of Invention. Their father had given them some privileges over the other Freelancers. He could do that considering he was the Director of Project Freelancer. While everyone else's quarters were on the East wing, Wash and Carolina's were on the West side along with their fathers and other important members of the program. Leonard had insisted they stay close to him, therefore he wouldn't lose them as well. He even gave them some of the best equipment if that meant insuring their safety.
Carolina sighed and looked around at the world that her father created. Super soldiers that were trained for covert missions, experimenting on new technologies, it was all very different. At least it would be if she hadn't been raised with her father frantically trying to find a way to bring her mother back. It all started when she was seven and now many years later, Leonard had come a long way to get where they were now. While Carolina missed her mother, she knew that what the Director, her father, was doing was wrong. But what could she do know? Like the other Freelancers she had been trained as a super solider, and now so was her younger brother. Anything that they could have done with their lives was over. This was their lives now and they would have accept that. Besides, she was blind to what he was really doing, what he was really planning.
"You'll be okay David." Carolina assured him with a soft sisterly smile she only gave him when the other Freelancers weren't around. Father had prohibited them telling the others the truth about why they were here, what the Director was really doing, and their relation to him. He had told Wash is was to avoid be ridiculed by the others. Carolina doubted he even knew the truth. Maybe that was best, that way he wouldn't be in danger in the end. Wash removed his helmet and looked up at his older sister with his dark almond eyes, those he had inherited from their mother. Carolina had to wince at the resemblance she saw between her mother and David. After their mother died, it was hard for her to look at herself in the mirror and look David in the eyes. She soon realized it was probably just as hard, if not harder for Leonard to look at the children he made with Allison and only see the love he lost.
"I'm afraid Car. I'm afraid that I'm not strong enough to fight. I'm afraid that we're going to go on a mission and I would drag everyone down and get left behind. I'm so afraid." Wash murmured lightly, his eyes finding the ground faster than they had ever. At first he was scared to voice his fears, considering that Carolina was the strongest fighter on the team and would only find him pathetic like many others would and have. Wash had always felt like he wasn't good enough when it came to his older sister. She was always faster, stronger, smarter, better and everything else. Not to mention the more than capable Freelancers such as Maine, York, North and the others. Wash felt like he didn't belong, that maybe he never had.
"Hey stop that. David listen to me." Carolina stopped them in front of their quarters which were across the room from each other. Wash stopped and turned to look at Carolina they were about the same height, and both clearly remembered the time in which Carolina was taller. However that was many years ago and things have changed. Wash continued to grow and Carolina knew he wasn't a little kid anymore. Maybe that was what bugged Carolina so much. Wash was growing up and it was getting harder to protect him from the pains and terrors of the universe. "You're not weak. You're strong, strong like me and everyone else, you just need some time to get used to all of this. Besides you know I would never let anything happen to you. I would kill everyone just to keep you safe, you know that."
"I'm not a little kid anymore Carolina…" Wash complained with a blush on his face. He was worried that this would happen, that Carolina would never stop being the over-protective sister she always has been. Carolina laughed lightly and reached forward to ruffle Wash's bright blonde hair. The younger brushed her off with some complaints, but that didn't stop Carolina as she shot forward to tickle Wash in the side. Wash was always the ticklish type.
"Carolina no, don't start this!" Wash said hurriedly while laughing. He knew that if Carolina started, she wouldn't stop until Wash was laying on the floor crying his eyes out and couldn't breathe. Luckily for him, Carolina backed off with a soft smile on her face. A rare sight to see since they came to live on the Mother of Invention and became Freelancers.
"I love you David." Carolina said smiling, she grabbed both of his lightly freckled cheeks and brought her lips down onto his forehead and planted a light kiss on his brow. Wash blushed even more, but silently enjoyed the attention he was receiving. It almost felt like the old times. While he didn't want to be treated like a child, he relished in the love and security that Carolina provided for him. It made Wash glad to be the youngest for once, that feeling of always being protected by an older sibling was one that he welcomed happily. He murmured an 'I love you too' into her neck, their arms wrapping around each other in a goodnight hug.
"Try to get some sleep okay? You'll feel better once you've had a good night's rest." Carolina told him as they parted from the hug. Wash nodded and they bid each other a 'good night' before parting ways and going into their separate rooms. Carolina went into her room and stripped down out of her armor and into some comfortable pajamas to sleep in. She took one last glance at the framed picture frame on her bed stand. It was a picture from her sixth birthday. Allison was holding the cake out to her, on the top sprawled out in light blue icing was 'Happy Birthday!' with six candles perfectly space apart. To the right of Carolina was Leonard, holding an excitable three year old David in his lap, both smiling. It hurt Carolina to think of the past, but she knew without the memories of her mother, she wouldn't have the strength to go out and fight to protect the ones she loved.
Similar to her, Wash walked into his small room. The walls were decorated with pictures of Cats and pictures of the Freelancer family. Wash knew that if anyone other than Carolina saw his room they would make fun of him. Especially South and York. He didn't care though, his room made him feel safe and secure. Wash shrugged off his heavy armor and changed into some sweatpants and a soft yellow hoodie. Carolina always made fun of him for being cold blooded, but it wasn't his fault he got cold easy. Wash yawned and stretched out on his bed, and pulled the covers over his body before finally exhaustion took hold of him.
!~!~!~!~!~!~!(End)!~!~!~!~!~!~!
Well that's enough for Chapter 1 I think. I was planning on adding a lot of flashback to when Carolina and Wash were young and growing up before and maybe even after Allison died. I wanted to get your guys opinion on it first. I have no doubt that most of the people that read this would want flashbacks but I wanted to wait for what you all thought first.
This chapter turned out much better than I had expected. Especially considering I haven't typed in like a year or so. I have no idea. Sorry about that by the way. I get busy and lazy and just give up. Hopefully that won't happen considering I'm in my senior year of high school and they say that's they easiest year there is. We shall see I suppose.
Also, I am holding out on informing you all any possible pairings or future ideas because I have some surprises for you all. And I hope that you all will enjoy those surprises.
Until the next time! Buh-Bye!
