Fic Update: Lightning in a Bottle

[27dragons]

Chapter 8 -

Rhodey hitched in a huge breath as soon as the door closed, but the collar around his neck sang its evil song, vibrations running from the wall, down the chain, and into the collar around the dragon’s neck. Rhodey shrieked, beat at the air with his wings, lashed his tail, but let the breath out without setting the room on fire.

 

Which was probably good, because Rhodey was several clutches older than Tony, and his breath was, therefore, several times more deadly.

 

Bucky was not the least bit fire-proofed, either.

 

“Rhodey!” Tony scurried down Bucky’s arm and flung himself at Rhodey. “Oh thank the Egg, you’re okay! It’s okay, we’re going to get you out of there!”

 

Tony found himself scooped up by silvery wings and practically flattened against Rhodey’s shoulder. “Where the hell you been? Next time, you stay with me. You hear me?”
