Thunderbirds are go one-shots

Day 1

Today is the first day that Gordon has been missing since he ran away yesterday afternoon. Everyone is looking for him, he left a note on his desk addressed to the family:

Dear Tracy family,

This is Gordon and I'm running away. I am a disappointment I have terrible grades and I'm all ways getting in trouble, I hope by doing what I'm about to do despite the fact I'm 15 will help prove I'm not a disappointment. I will come back one day, as soon as I achieve what I want to.

I love you guys a lot, 

Love Gordon 🦑

He signed off with a cute little squid at the end. Soon after reading his messy black ink note everyone was on the verge of tears, did he really think they thought that? Guess they won't know until they find him.

it's been a year since day 1 of Gordon going missing, the Olympics trials was on at the moment, that's what Georgia and Alan were watching. "OMG ITS GORDON!" Georgia screamed as she saw a boy named Mason ycart go on screen, he was wearing a USA jacket and apparently representing the United States for butterfly, something was different though, he had brown hair now instead of his usual dirty blonde, it was still spiked but much shorter, he also had a lot more muscle than he did a year ago.

The Tracys ran into the lounge and gasped, their long lost brother was on screen about to undergo Olympic trials, he dove into the water coming first by far in his race  and the fastest time so far in the butterfly division. It showed him standing on a podium that says he's going to the Olympics and is handed some flowers and a proper jacket, a reporter comes up to him and puts a microphone in his face "hello Mr. ycart? Would you like to say anything to your family and friends out there?" Gordon paled a little bit but stil, smiled "umm... Hi?" He said sheepishly, the reporter chuckled then continued interviewing the now 16 year old.

Scott swallowed, "we need to get to the Olympics and confront him" there were sounds of agreement from around the room, they just want their Gordon home.

(A YEAR AGO) 

He'd finally done it, he got away from school, he has his fake id and passports, birth certificates and documents all saying he's 18 years old and named Mason ycart. He brought some hair dye and grabbed his savings so he could stop at an inn near the navy intake building, tomorrow he would be going over to the building and applying for the navy.

He was accepted, they were suspicious at first but he convinced them that he just looked really young, years of ranking his siblings coming into play and helping him sound convincing. He trained for two months, then passed top of his class in weapon handling, combat and swimming, then he went on his first mission 3 days later and somehow got asked to join the navy seals, a prestigious group that not many are asked to join, he showed leadership and good instincts which lead him to the seals, and after his 1st mission, he was joining their team.

It was now day 1 with the navy seals and he was going into his first mission already. They were told to extract a weapon from inside an enemy base, there are armed guards and security cameras everywhere so they have to be careful. First off, rosa (resident hacker/tech genius) turned the cameras onto a loop, before Gordon, Robin, Lila, Nathan, Oliver, Lance and Hanna snuck in to retrieve the weapon, as they got closer they engaged with the guards, taking them down before they could call backup. They got inside and split up, Gordon took the left hallway and started along, gun in hand as he walked down the hall, at the end was a large door with a lock,apparently a last minute ditch at hiding the weapon.

Gordon shot the lock and opened the door, inside was what seemed like a harmless brief case but was actually the most dangerous weapon on this area of the planet. He grabbed it, placing it on a table, once he opened it and saw the weapon, he closed it again and Locked it away. He slowly made his way back through the hallway and towards the meeting place "okay, I have the weapon I'm heading to the exit" he talked into the comm but nobody responded, he quickened his pace to a jog, twisting around corners and going to the shadows as much as he could "hello? Robin, Oliver, Nathan, Lila, Hanna, Lance? Anybody? Do you respond? Rosa can you hear me from the boat?" There was silence for a second before Gordon heard her voice come through the Comms "y-yeah I'm here but everyone else isn't responding you get out of there with the weapon then go back in and find them." Gordon acknowledged and continued to the exit.

Once he dropped the weapon the 15 year old made his way towards the building again, he maintained radio silence for the moment as he went through the cement hallways, he got to the end and saw a door, on the other side he could here talking and exchanges between his team and some men who seemed to have taken them hostage. Making up his mind he peaked around the corner and after realising nobody but his team was watching he crept through the door and into the shadows becoming almost invisible, Lila smirked as she saw him take out two men silently and without problem and sneak back into the shadows, his whole team was mentally cheering for him as he then took out another 3 men leaving 3 behind, one he assumed was the leader and 2 henchmen, he got in position and shot the 2 henchman, this caused the leader to be prepared, he turned around and smirked, his hands in the air, "hello there... you seem very skilled for someone so young, to bad you won't continue your career much longer", Gordon pressed the trigger but the man dodged it and ran forward to attack him.

They fought for a few minutes, Gordon getting in some good hits but the man also doing well, Gordon backed towards his team Hanna being closest "right boot... dagger" he breathed into the comm getting the message Hanna reached for his boot and pulled out a dagger, she freed her ankles and wrists then freed the rest of the team while Gordon continued to fight the man after 5 minutes everyone was free, deciding it was his time to escape, the mystery man grabbed a smoke grenade and threw it down, before sprinting to the door, "by the way, I'm Alexi straighten, and I'll get you one day mason, just you wait" Alexi ran out the door leaving the coughing navy seals behind in the smoke, they tried to go after him but by the time they got out the man had disappeared. 

Gordon was congratulated by his team for saving them and getting the weapon, when they got back to base he was Called into the commanders office and given a promotion he was now petty officer 2nd class. Within the next ten monthes he moved up in the ranks and was currently chief petty officer, the only thing that annoyed him was the fact he never found Alexi Straighten, they found many of his hide outs and destroyed many of his plans but they never found the man himself. Throughout his career so far he has had many men disrespect him because of his age, he was apparently only 19 nobody figured he was younger, anyone who disrespected him soon realised their mistake as he made their life more difficult and gave them the worst jobs until they took him seriously, it was also a well known fact never to get on his bad side, he would quickly put you in your place.

One day Mason (Gordon) was just chilling in the break room with his original team (and closest friends) when Oliver turned on the TV, there was a thing on the news about the Olympic trials and he smirked "oi mason, bet you $100 you can't win 1st 2nd or 3rd in the Olympics for butterfly" Gordon glared at him "god damnit now I literally can't say no because you dared me to, it is against my moral compass to do something like this because of a dare but I literally can't say no" Oliver smirked again "it is a well known fact that Mason Ycart cannot refuse a dare and also your moral compass is a fucking roulette wheel so excuse me if I don't take it seriously. Why do you think I said in the first place? Plus your like half fish you'll be fine" Gordon sighed "fine" his team cheered loudly, and the commander who was walking by looked slightly concerned "is everything alright in here?" Lance looked over at the door "yes sir, everything is great Mason is gonna trial for the Olympics!" The commander hummed in thought "so I suppose the 8 of you will need about 2 weeks off?" Everyone froze "really sir?" Robin said hopefully, the commander nodded "its about time you guys got some time off anyway, next month during the swimming part of the Olympics you will be granted 2 weeks paid leave" everyone cheered louder than before, and some passing cadets looked slightly scared as they walked past the break room to see the commander face palming and 8 navy seal said running and jumping around the break room cheering.

That brings us to the present day, Gordon passed the trials and was standing out the back waiting to be called on to the blocks, Gordon got to his starting place and got ready to dive, noticing at the front of the crowd his 7 closest friends holding a sign that read go Mazza in bold messy writing while the humans holding it wore face paint and funny t shirts with his name on them, he really wished his family was here, but that thought was pushed out of his mind as soon as the presenter yelled "ON YOUR MARKS"
