Prompt(s): 36_stratagems: 21. "Slough off the cicada's golden shell. It's a strategy mainly used to escape from enemy of a more superior force. One use this strategy by slough off one's shell, which tricked the enemy to believe to have grasped one's essential. Mask yourself. Either leave flamboyant traits behind, thus going incognito; or just masquerade yourself and create an illusion to fit your goals and distract others."
Disclaimer: I don't own and didn't create The Losers or Leverage, and I'm not making any money from this. It's just for fun.
Notes: Set during Season 2 of Leverage and after The Losers. Contains spoilers for The Losers. This is not comic-verse canon compliant.
Summary: When the Leverage team decides to take down Vaughn Wilson, they don't realize that he's dealing in something a lot worse than heroin and assault rifles, or that Eliot's old boss has his eye on Wilson too. Things can go wrong in a hurry when whether you're a Loser or just providing a little leverage, but with Eliot's life on the line, his past and his present had better work together fast, or Eliot's future won't last longer than tonight.
