Mushroom Day

It’s Mushroom Day!

Now I love these guys!  Have a few good recipes for them!

Love them? Keep them away from me?!

And as this month has all been about Birthday Fun!  Here’s the teaser/snippet for you.

This also ties into one of the songs from Deadpool’s Vampire Soundtrack – which can be found in the Archive!

Here’s the song:

The reason the snippet is to honor ‘Mushroom Day’ we’ll we all know Hobbits love mushrooms!

Bilbo was shoved into the chair, that sat in the middle of an empty room on the second floor of an abandoned warehouse.

“Excuse me.”  He held up his hand, only for it to be grabbed and tied behind the chair. “This seems a bit unnecessary.”

The two Rogues ignored him as they continued tying him to the chair.

Not very good actually, as far as Bilbo was concerned.

Amateurs.

“Being a good sport about all of this.  I just thought you should know that if you let me go now, I can distract him and you can leave the country.”  He gave them a charming smile, neither of his two guards acknowledged the situation.  “Seriously.  I’m not sure your goals, but it is obvious you haven’t thought this all the way through.”

“Shut up!”

Bilbo took the backhand with ease, it wasn’t the first time.  “Well I was just trying to be polite.  But if you are too stupid to realize the situation you are in, well it’s just not going to end well for you.”

One of the captors rolled his eyes.

“One last … ”  The front doors to the warehouse was blown open,  the screech of metal as they were ripped off the hinges and crashed into mangle heaps on the concrete floor.  “To late.  I would say it was nice knowing you, but not really.”

“BILBO!”  Thorin’s voice boomed across the warehouse.  There was no doubt in anyone’s mind, he was pissed.

The rogues left Bilbo tied to a chair, and ran out of the room onto the landing, watching in horror at the view below.

Thorin knew his Mate had gone missing the moment some idiot decided it was a good idea to take what was his.  There’s a certain feeling that Bilbo gets that he can feel through the bond, almost like a ‘you’ve got to be kidding me with this shit’.   After working with Jake over the past couple of years, he ended up with one of the nice new phones, which led him to his Mate.  He politely thanked the phone. 

He checked the perimeter of the building, listening for sounds on the inside, hearing his Mate try to talk the kidnappers into letting him go.   He stretched out his hearing, no heart beats.  

Rogues.

Well at least they weren’t Templars, then again they were getting a rash of Vampire Templars.

He kicked in the doors sending them skirting across the concrete floor, there was no reason to be subtle.   

The first two who rushed him, was dust behind him.   As he went up the stairs, tossed a third rogue over the railing, and a fourth lost his head in seconds.

“BILBO!” He called out, when he heard a yelp.

“Coming!”  

Thorin rolled his eyes, then took on three that rushed him, it didn’t take long to dispatch them.  When he turned, he coughed slightly at the dust in the air, only to see his Mate standing in the doorway looking board.   “I got something for you.”  He pulled a sword out from under his coat and tossed it towards his Mate.

“Sting!”  With ease he caught the crafted sword, and settled to Thorin’s lefthand side.   By this time most of the rogues had fled the building, a few commenting that they hadn’t signed up for the crazy.  But a few still remained, mostly taking aim at Bilbo because he was the ‘smaller’ one.  He really wasn’t a hobbit!  With practice ease from years of training from Dwalin and the boys, he easily dodged the first attacker, slicing the sword downwards taking out the knee before turning swiftly and taking his head.   As he turned to face the second he found Thorin holding him up in the air, choking him while demanding answers.

“Honey though this is very dramatic he needs to breath to talk.”  Bilbo gave him a pointed look.

Thorin dropped him to the ground.  “Who are you working for?”

“Look man we were just told to snag him, so we did.  I have no idea who paid us.”   

It wasn’t the answer Thorin was looking for, so he took his head, then glanced at his Mate.

“Don’t look at me I haven’t pissed anyone off, well there was Mrs. Turnstall who lost to my prize winning tomatoes, but I doubt she hired a hit squad.”

“I’ve seen those competitions and yes they would hire a hit squad.”  Thorin shook his head.  “Fili and Kili are prowling around to see if they can find some information, but right now it feels very random and disjointed.”

“It’s been a while since we had an outing like this.”  Bilibo cleaned Sting then handed it back to his Mate, who slid the sword into the sheath that was tied to his back.

“Bilbo, this was a kidnapping not a date.”

“Ate you sure?”  He gave him a wink.  “You are very hot when you go full Assassin pissed off Mate mode.”

“You hired these guys?”

“Well no I wouldn’t waste my money!  Besides total amateurs.”  He slid up to his Mate pulling him down for a kiss.  “But still hot, when you slam through the enemy like a damn freight train.”

“No making out!”  Fili yelled as they walked into the warehouse.  “Wait until innocent eyes are not present.”

Thorin glared at his boys.  “And who would these innocent eyes belong to, not you two.”

Kili glanced around.  “I see freight train dad came through.”  He kicked at some dust, then made sure to take the head of the one left who’s neck was broken.  “Nothing outside, so you two are free to make out … well once we leave.”

Bilbo chuckled giving his Mate a quick kiss before heading down the stairs.  “How about some lunch, you two can run off, and I’ll thank my hero personally.”

Fili and Kili gagged.  

Thorin smacked both of them as he walked out.

“Adad!”

Bilbo shook his head as he caught up to his Mate, taking his hand.  “Thank you.”

“I will always come for you.”
