During a mission, Athos is captured by Very Bad Men. They take him to a hideout in the woods or a vacant warehouse or something with a bunch of other captives/hostages. Life is unpleasant, but escape, for whatever reason, looks pretty unlikely, and someone who doesn't know him could be forgiven for assuming that Athos is helpless.
So Athos spends his time waiting for rescue by prepping the Bad Guy Camp for his friends' eventual arrival. Peace-tying the Bad Guy's swords, organizing the other captives (bonus if they are primarily women and children), and quietly making Molotov cocktails out of their liquor stores. Maybe he rigs some of the more tenuous architecture to fall with one well-placed shove.
When the moment comes and the small but fierce cavalry arrives, Athos unleashes chaos, orchestrating a firestorm of shit onto the unsuspecting baddies. His audience is appreciative.
Any or no pairings welcome. And this may be better with added angst and h/c, but it may also be fun as sheer crack, so do with it what you will.
