"We need to keep a low profile. Which means, Bell, none of those bright ideas of yours."

"I'll put them away for later," You promised with a nod, coming to a stop beside Adler.

He retrieved a pack of cigarettes, offering it your way first so that you could take one. Then, he took one for himself, placing it between half scarred lips. As he grabbed his lighter and lit it, his eyes scanned the crowd for your target.

This is the cutest fanfic 🤭🥰

man I’ve been on a roll with old AdlerBell fics

second time’s the charm | Dark!Adler/Bell Post-Solovetsky AU snippet

“Нова-6 только что вошла во вторую фазу разработки. Главный научный сотрудник Кузьмин встретился с Кравченко, чтобы обсудить испытания на людях.”

You blinked, registering the sound of the chatter of a radio crackling through the air and the steady rolling of the tape in the corner. You could vaguely understand the Russian voice in the tape even though your Russian was hazy at best. MK Ultra hadn’t been the best thing for your linguistic skills. All you could catch was Nova-6, Kuzmin, and Kravchenko…a familiar name. 

What were you…

Your thoughts were cut short by the sudden pain in your shoulder as you tried to pull yourself off the bed only to wince. You brought a hand to your shoulder-

The sound of chains clanging against metal resounded in the air. You looked down and found your hands bound to the posts on the bed. 

What the hell-

However, the sound of a door opening cut your thoughts short. 

You opened your mouth, ready to confront whoever chained you up like this because the others-

…the others, you realized with horror.

Adler. 

He and the others weren’t going to come for you. 

The vague memory of a gunshot hitting you in the chest and your vision fading to black hit you. They must have captured me, you thought numbly. 

Adler hadn’t even bothered to finish you off. 

And that in and of itself was a fate worse than death. 

You braced yourself for the interrogation by whichever Soviet or Perseus officer had happened to find at the cliffside-

And then you noticed the smell in the air. It was a familiar one you instinctively relaxed at because it was something that had accompanied you through hell and back all those years ago in Vietnam-no, no, no

Remember, Bell, you told yourself. Yet you winced at the name…”Bell”. 

Even that was created by Adler. 

Everything about you came from him. 

And he tossed you away. 

Like damaged goods. 

“Bell.”

You flinched from the sound of his voice.

Even now, you were hearing that damn voice of his, rolling your name off like it was a real true one. But it wasn’t because everything was a lie and you had to remind yourself of that again and again-

“Now, Bell, you know that we have a job to do.” This time, you closed your eyes, praying that the trembling of your hands at the sound of that didn’t show to the Soviet officer before you. 

Not real, not real, he’s not real Bell-

Yet even as you knew he was but a hallucination by whatever substance your captors injected you with, you just couldn’t stop one word from falling off your lips hollowly.

“Why?”

Even as you looked down, you could almost see him take a drag of his cigarette before sighing out the smoke which curled into the air. The all too addictive feeling of nicotine seeping into your lungs as you were forced to breathe in the small, cramped cell. 

“Why?” he asked out loud before saying almost amusedly, “Hudson’s an idiot, not knowing a good thing when it appears. But don’t worry, kid.”

“I sure as hell know when that happens. And you were that diamond in the rough, Bell. You did your job so well-”

You nearly shivered at his words. What the hell did they give you for your fucked up hallucination of him to say these things? The worst thing about it was you couldn’t help but feel that damnable sense of pleasure at that. 

You did your job so well. 

Just like a good dog, you thought as you felt your hands tremble against the chains once more. They had trained you to be that way, after all. 

A good loyal dog for him until you were to be put down. 

“Besides,” Adler continued on, “We still have a job to do. Perseus is at large and I need the best operative we have for it.” 

“Go away,” you bit out, trying to keep the desperation in your voice from coming out. You weren’t going to give them the satisfaction of seeing you break so soon. 

“Alright, kid,” Yet you didn’t relax at the easiness in his voice. In fact, you only tensed because you knew him…maybe not in reality but in those memories in that lab. All those times you heard his voice over and over again like a prayer…

You suddenly heard footsteps coming closer and closer before you felt gloved hands tilt your chin up firmly. At that moment, you opened your eyes instinctively only to find yourself staring up at those eyes always obscured by those sunglasses. 

“You know what they say. Second time’s the charm.” 

Incredible 😍

💜💙🩵Oh this was a good one💜💙🩵 always wanted to know what happened next

Flashes of various memories flickered through your mind, going too fast to see each one clearly, Adler had forced himself to get Park to give you an intracerebral injection to calm your mind and allow him to help you "Are you sure?" Park eyed him with an unsure look, Russell glanced at you and back to Park, he slowly nodded.

"This is for the good of the world, Bell" Park leaned toward you, large needle in hand, you could see it coming toward you but you couldn't react to it "Right through the eye? That's cold, Park" Sims shook his head "If we want answers quickly, this is the way to do it" you felt the needle pierce into your eye, a small portion of your sight went dark.

"She's ready, Adler" Park leaned away from your sweating body, Adler sighed sadly, he gingerly grabbed your hand, not caring that anyone saw him being so emotional with you "We had a job to do, Bell" your mind quieted, awaiting Russell's commands.

"Your helicopter crashed in the jungle, you were the only survivor..'Nam soldiers were sweeping the field for survivors" your mind filled with the vision of an upside down war tattered field, you slowly rolled onto your stomach, pushing the dead body of a fellow soldier off of you.

"You jumped down from the helicopter, bow and pistol with suppressor ready to take the enemies out quietly" Adler's voice echoed throughout the field, you aimed and started shooting them where they stood.

You were left alone in the silent field, the soft howl of wind breezing passed and around you "You made your way through the jungle" you started to walk through a clearing. "You came to a fork in the road, Bell, I want you to take the path on your left, not the right" you seen a small t.v in the centre of the fork in some temple-like doorway "Ignore that, Bell" his voice came softly, you could feel a gentle pressure enveloping your left hand as you went on.

You approached a bridge "You could see a red metal door on the other side of the bridge" your vision clouded for a moment, once you could see, there was a red door that felt so familiar and foreign at the same time. Your mind said no, turn around "Bell, please go through the door" Adler's voice tried to coax you forward but your body seemed to listen better to your mind "Bell, no, cross the bridge" you saw a zipline on your right, that led down into a small canyon.

You slid down the rope, your feet colliding with the ground "Damn it, Bell" Adler sighed, almost frustrated "Please stop fighting me, the faster we get through this, the faster I can pull you out" another red door appeared in front of you. "Please go through" Adler begged, seeming to sense your conflict "I..I can't" you muttered to him, your voice echoed softly "Don't do it for him, do it for the good of the world" Park said in a firm tone "If I could, I'd be there right beside you".

"You can do it, my bluebell" he whispered to you, you eyed the door with caution, it seemed to beckon you ominously, your hand reached out to it slowly. "That's it, Bell" your hand was wrapped around the cool metal, a wavered sigh passed your lips as you slowly pulled it open, the door opened up into a neatly kept hallway, you could see a room at the end of the hall, someone slowly pacing around in it.

You cautiously walked toward the room, your mind was screaming to stop but you didn't listen, you were standing in the doorway, the figure had its back turned to you, it looked to be a man "I just want you to know that this little thing that happened between you and me.." The figure turned to face you, it was Adler dressed in some covert ops outfit, his face smudged in black camo paint.

"What..? What's happening?" You muttered in shock as you backed into the now closed door, Adler walked around the table "It was always for the greater good, heroes have to make sacrifices.." Adler got closer to you, his aura was threatening, and for the first time in your life- you were terrified of him.

"That's why when I ask you for one more, I hope you understand..". Adler was right in front of you, your chests almost touching, you could smell his cigarette tainted breath, an arm barricaded you between him and the door, the other was on your hip.

"I loved you, Bell..actually loved you, I would move mountains for you, bring the sky to the earth for you.." His voice was low, the hand that was on your hip gently caressed across your cheek, his finger trailed along your jaw, his hand came back to cup your chin.

"I hope you understand that it was never personal" Adler grunted, a white hot surge of pain filled your body, you gasped in shock, your fearful eyes traveled down to your stomach where a knife protruded from your body, the blade becoming coated in blood- your blood, your breathing trembled at the sight of it.

The Adler that stared at you with a sickening smirk on his face was not your Adler, at least you didn't think it was. Tears fell from your eyes, Adler chuckled at your reaction, you yelped in pain as he removed the blade from your body, your knees colliding with the concrete floor "This is for the good of the world, Bell".

"Bell?!" Your eyes shot open with a gasp, your body throwing itself up into a sitting position, your skin was covered in sweat, your heart was racing and your eyes read fear to anyone that merely glanced at you "Bell! Are you okay?" Russell leaned in front of you so all you were looking at was him.

"Bell?" Russell grabbed your chin gently, pulling your thousand yard gaze to him "I'm right here" the fear seemed to slowly melt away from you "You're out, you're out and safe" you let out a shaky breath finally, as your sight focused on Russell "There you go, there's my girl" Russell pulled you into a firm hug "What was that..?" Your voice was barely above a whisper in the crook of his neck.

"I don't know, but I promise you..that was not real, I would never do that to you" he whispered in your ear, tears threatened to fall down your face, the vision felt all too real, you could feel the blood soaking your shirt and sticking to your skin. "I'm sorry we didn't get Perseus's location.." he gave you a gentle squeeze, pulling away to look into your eyes "That's alright, Bell, we can try again..when you're ready" he helped you off the bed, looping your arm around his as he helped you out of the small room.

"Adler, a word" Park came up to you both about 30 minutes later, you were sitting in front of the mission board, eating takeout that Sims had ordered a little while ago "You're alright?" Russell eyed you, waiting for your reply, you smiled softly "I'm good" he nodded in response, standing to follow Park into the room you were all previously in.

"We need to get a move on" Park stated as soon as she closed the door behind them, Adler sighed as his head dropped down in frustration "Bell is ready, she's been, her mental will is weak around you because she knows you won't push her, she could have learned the location of Perseus..I have no idea what that glitch was, but it shouldn't have happened" Park sighed, her arms crossed over her chest.

"Maybe it was a..glimpse into the future?" Adler's eyes shot to her, he scoffed with visible annoyance in his features "What the hell are you saying?! That Bell saw her death? That Bell is going to be at the mercy of me?" He spat in a venomous tone "It's possible, rare but possible" Park said calmly, watching Adler's reaction "Calm down, christ, it was more than likely just a bad trip, it happens" Park grumbled at the older man.

Adler's gaze traveled to you, still sitting down on the table in front of the board, your meal was long gone though and you looked to be deep in thought "You wouldn't hurt her, Adler..that surprisingly wouldn't be like you" Adler felt Park's hand gently grasp his shoulder, as she left the room, leaving Adler alone to his own thoughts.

"I hope you're right, Park" he muttered to no one, eyes still on Bell.

I love this 🤭

💜💙🩵another one of my AdlerBell Holy Grails found!. Thank you so much for reblogging it @nikkibell1937

the inspiration of Adler’s nickname for Natalia(and her flower association with bluebells in general)

Happy Anniversary!

Toxic!Russell Adler x Toxic!F!Reader

Ah, what's married life without a little toxicity? (Pretty good, allegedly.)

It's your twentieth wedding anniversary, and Adler seems to have forgotten all about it. However, you are the perfect match to his toxic nature, and are going to make sure that he makes up for it... and then some.

'"Divorce" and "therapy" are for normal people' - reader, probably

💜💙🩵(reblogging to support a fellow)💜💙🩵

Another great COD reader insert writer. Come check out @hedgehogsaretheultimatelifeform’s blog(think they are currently doing some requests as well as of the moment) if you have the time, maybe drop some love as well(they are kinda feeling down at the moment due to some bad news they got today about one of their fics)

So many fanfic fuel cause by this guy

Check out @adlerboi’s blog by the way, they have so many amazing screenshots of Adler starting from all the way back in 2021

Love the dynamic of a Bell who completely understands what Russell did and why he did it, and an Adler that is so riddled with guilt, but they’re both utterly devoted to each other. Scratches my brain just right.

sums up my version of Adlerbell(thought it took about 2- 4 months for Natalia to fully forgive him) in a nutshell

Perfection

Thank you for giving us this handsome fine ass man
