The Secret of the Unicorn ~ Tintin x Reader

'We will meet again, Haddock, in another time, in another life!'

Eleanor's POV

Sir Francis uncorked a barrel of gunpowder and picked up it, drawing a line with it behind him as he made his way up deck. He had to be silent so as not to wake the pirates around him. He made it to the top deck and continued his line, only to stop when he heard a voice shout behind him.

"You dog!" Red Rackham exclaimed, "You'd blow us sky high?!"

"Ah. Come on, then." Sir Francis rolled his eyes and placed the barrel to the side. "Let's have you!" He challenged, swiping his sword to the side, cutting down a lantern, and sparking the gunpowder on fire before engaging in a fight with Red Rackham.

Red Rackham fought to get behind Sir Francis, resorting to tripping him. He quickly swiped at the blazing gunpowder, snuffing it out. "Not this time."

The two once again battled for dominance as the lantern reignited the gunpowder, it passed the fighting men and began to go down the stairs - Rackham followed it quickly, ignoring his battle with Sir Francis for a moment. He chased it down the stairs, still trying to avoid Sir Francis's attacks but it was too much, he had to stop and fight for a moment. He grabbed a pirate of his that was nearby and threw him at Sir Francis, gaining him the time he needed to catch up and extinguish the burning gunpowder.

Sir Francis, having taken down the pirate, turned back to Red Rackham and engaged in battle once more. He tripped him behind him, using the same trick he had used on him before, allowing him to reach out and cut down another lantern, igniting the gunpowder once more.

Rackham was outraged and quickly caught Sir Francis's sword his own. He spun around and elbowed him, knocking him back and allowing him to kick the gunpowder away. But Sir Francis wouldn't give up. He got up and once again, challenged Rackham. He cut down another lantern and began the process all over again. 

Rackham once again set out to chase the blazing gunpowder, now traveling down the stairs into the hold below him, but the fire was fast and Sir Francis was tough. As they fought each other, they could see the fire travel below them through the hold they were standing on. 

Enraged and impatient, Red Rackham swung his sword at Sir Francis irrationally while Sir Francis blocked all of this attack, patient and with good form - one hand behind his back. Rackham got so impatient that he charged at Sir Francis without thought. Sir Francis quickly turned around and stuck his foot out, tripping him right into him, impaling him with his sword. Red Rackham groaned in pain before Sir Francis raised his elbow, knocking him back to his knees. 

Haddock had come around the desk and knocked me to the ground, his sword pointed right at me. Lieutenant Delcort held back Tintin, who had a horrified look on his face. 

Red Rackham collapsed to the ground, leaning up against a support beam. 

I sat up against the table leg and held onto it, not knowing what was about to happen. 

Sir Francis approached him, sword still at the ready. With it, he reached forward and swiped the red bandana from his face - unmasking the famous pirate captain. 

"You..." Haddock said to me before his eyes went wide, realizing something.

"Captain, what is it?" I asked him, he lowered his sword and Lieutenant Delcort let go of Tintin who rushed over to me and helped me up, pushing me behind him. 

"How could I be so blind?" Haddock questioned. 

"What are you talking about?" Tintin asked, now a little calmer since he knew that Haddock wasn't going to hurt me.
