Thunderbirds are go one-shots

Avalanche...

Gordon opened his heavy eyes with all the effort he could muster, he was cold and in pain in almost his whole body, what was worse is that he could here his brothers through the Comms but couldn't be bothered moving his hand and facing the pain that would shoot through his body if he moved.

Gordon couldn't really remember what happened completely but he did know that there had been an avalanche and he had sent a girl up into TB2 on a rope just as the avalanche hit, the girl got out of it but Gordon wasn't so lucky and had been caught in the snow and dragged down the hill by gravity, John's, and now his nemesis. He used his remaining strength and pulled his arm through the snow towards himself "Sco-tty" gordon said into his comm on the other end Scott had never been so relieved to hear his brothers voice, Gordon was only 14 and this was supposed to be a routine mission until a factory on the top of the mountain exploded causing a second, much larger, avalanche.

"Gordon! Are u ok? Don't fall asleep are u under any snow? Are u o- Gordon? U still there?" Scotts heart leapt into his throats for the few seconds Gordon didn't respond "I'm here... Sorry Scott I'm tired s'okay if I go to sleep right, wait Scott NOOOO!" Gordon screamed Scott felt a wave of fear overtake him "Gordon?! What happened?" Scott could hear sobbing on the other end of the line "I can't feel or move my legs Scotty, what if I hurt them like in the hydrofoil I was riding on a few years ago that put me in a coma, I can't do this to Scott I'm going to bed night nigh" "GORDON NOOOO!" Scott screamed into his comm "please don't go, We all love you so much please don't go. Who's gonna help Georgia and Alan prank people, who's gonna get johnny, brains and Virgo to sleep, who's gonna stop Kayo or me overworking ourselves you can't go Gordon! NOOOOO!" Gordon did his best to keep his eyes open and made lifted his comm to his mouth "Sco-tty ke ee p m...e ta..lk...ing I don't wa...nna d...I...E"

Scott pulled himself together and connected the comm to base, thunderbird 5 and thunderbird 2 "hey Scott hey Gordon how's the mission going?" "Dad I'm gonna die" Gordon slurred between sobs, "the mission is going terribly Gordon got caught in the avalanche and I need u to keep him talking while Virgil and I find him" Jeff sat with a terrified Allan and Georgia on the couch and felt tears in his eyes Gordon shouldn't have been hurt he was just loading survivors into thunderbird 2 it was a safe job and Gordon was ready so how and why did this happen, he regained his earlier state of mind and with a shuddering breath began talking to Gordon through the Comms

"hey Gordy, look, I know this is scary you've only just turned 14 for gods sake but you need to stay calm, why don't u tell me what happened here?" Jeff suggested there was a deep breath on the other side of the line and Gordon began explaining what had happened, Scott had just dug out the survivors from the snow and was heading back to tb1 to check the mountain one more time Gordon had gone down to load people into the harness and send them up to tb2 so they could be taken to the city hall and warmed up, Gordon was helping the last girl into the harness when an explosion from a nearby factory caused a second larger earth quake, Gordon sent the girl up as quickly as she could but before the harness could come back for him the avalanche swept him away into the rocks and trees and snow. Gordon's voice was quiet and scared but it also sounded as if he was in pain or gasping for air, "da-d I c...an't breath I'm ru...nning...outa Ai...r"

Jeff attention had momentarily drifted to Georgia and Alan who were currently listening to their older and twin brother in pain as soon as he heard his second youngest son say what he did he called grandma and brains to take Allan and Georgia out into the lounge, the pair was kicking and screaming as they were pulled out of the office and were crying so hard they could hardly see, this was turning out to be the most traumatic mission yet and it was supposed to be one of the easiest!

"Hold on Gordy I just got to your coordinates we'll get u out in a jiff" Scott said in his most reassuring voice possible but by now Gordon had lost consciousness. Scott jumped out of tb1 almost as it was still moving and immediately started to dig Gordon out of the snow, it took him around two minutes to reach his head and then a further ten minutes to ge the rest of him out, when he was pulled out the snow around where he was buried was scarlet with blonde and his battered face was pale with bright blue lips. Scott checked his pulse and was relieved to find he still had one, it was weak, but still there. "Oh, Gordon why didn't I get here sooner or help people on the ground instead of you? Maybe I could have found a way to escape since I'm older and stronger than you" Scott held back the tears that threatened to fall down his face and held his brother close "heh, me th..inks scot..tys gots sum ne...w gr...ey..s" Scotts head shot towards his brothers pale and battered face "GORDY!" scott let his tears fall and tb2 arrived with its med bay, as Virgil came running off the elevator having obviously put on auto pilot to get here faster, he froze at the sight of his injured brother and took a shuddered breath he stepped forward slowly and walked towards his body laying in Scott's arms, Virgil gulped and touched Scott's shoulder "is he..... dead?" He whispered Scott's head flung round to see Virgil standing behind him looking horrified "no, but he isn't doing amazing. We need to get him home and safe" Gordon chose this moment to open his eyes and talk "I wa...nna ta..lk to g..eorgie a..a..and a..llie" he mumbled "Gordy now is not the time to-" he was interrupted by Gordon and his typical Tracy stubbornness "NOW" he yelled as loudly as he could "I WILL fa ll asleep I I if u do n't pa tch them th rough t o m e" he said threateningly, Scott winced then looked at Virgil who already had his comm out and was calling the pair...

Let's hope that Gordon can be saved before oxegyn runs out...
