I’m waiting so patiently for the next update of Iris. I know it’s going to be a full on roller coaster.

Oh it’s a roller coaster indeed nonny. I’m so glad I finally found it in me to get this thing done and out for you to read. Buckle in for 6k.

Warnings: Jake Seresin x Mitchell Reader. Angst! F-18 training accident. Mentions of harassment & sexual harassment.

As always, the I.R.I.S series is linked here.

“Iris—“ If there was anything that could have put you in a worse mood than you already were, it was the arrogant and agitating tone in Lieutenant White's annoying voice. “You’re with me.”

“Sorry? Since when?” You frowned as you ran through your pre-flight checks. Unsure as to why you’d be flying double.

“Since we’re down a few pilots after lunch.” Your dad interrupted as he came to explain the new pairings. “I’m gonna have White fly WOS with you because Scout is out with a reaction to something in the mess hall's food selection.”

“I don’t fly well with others.” You made a play on words with the term ‘doesn’t play well with others’ that had been thrown at you as of late. “I’m sure rebound would love a backseater to gossip with, Sir.”

“Unfortunately the pairings have been finalised, Lieutenant Mitchell.” Your dad sent you a soft smile, knowing you hated this more than he did. “Go do your pre-flight checks for the two maner, you two are up for the first run with Rebound.”

“Yes Sir, Captain Mitchell Sir.” Deep down you knew it wasn’t your dads fault you’d been paired up with Trash at the last minute—but regardless you still wanted to talk about it. As you snubbed his rank like the brat you could be your hand gesture told Pete the complete opposite. He watched as you stood before him, rubbing your fist over your chest. It was something the two of you had always done when words couldn’t be spoken. A silent ‘We’ll talk about this later, I’m sorry.’

Pete Mitchell wasn’t sure he’d ever been a great dad. But when you came along he knew he’d do just about anything to protect you. He smiled back at you, his daughter, and mimicked your movements.

“Hop to it.” He ordered before he turned around and headed on over to inform Mayhem he’d be flying WSO with Munich. You did as you were told, reluctantly, and made your way over to the fighter jet you’d been newly assigned to. White stayed hot on your tail with his helmet tucked under his arm.

“Rhodes told me that you two had a bit of a moment just before.” He spoke with a knowing tone, like he had something on you. “Care to share?”

“Rebounds masculinity is threatened by my ability to get under his skin.” You barely turned your head to acknowledge the aviator that followed you. “He knows I’m better than him, and that scares him.”

“You really think that?” White asked as you both made it over to where the F-18 was choked up. “Because I think he has a thing for you.” You nearly gave yourself whiplash as you turned to frown a grimacing look at Trash.

“Good thing I didn’t ask you for your opinion White.” You scoffed off the direction the conversation you found yourself in was going. “Men—you’re all the same, always thinking with your damn dicks and not your brains.”

“Lieutenant Mitchell!” Jake's voice made you flinch as he made his way over to where you and White were standing. “A moment?” He asked as he acknowledged White's presence before asking you with a head nod to follow him. Great—this couldn’t get any worse could it.

“Sure—“ You groaned. Leaving White to finish pre checks by himself as you followed Jake. “I swear if this isn’t professional Seresin—“

He’d been in his office just moments before with Rooster trying to talk him down off the ledge. He didn’t want to lose you. He couldn’t lose you. He loved you. Much to his own dismay. This whole entanglement had become a hell of a lot more than either of you were willing to truly admit. But Jake Seresin had fallen in love with his mentor's daughter.

“You don’t get to toss me away like that when shit gets a little messy.” Jake hissed through gritted teeth as you stood speechless on the tarmac, just off to the side and out of earshot from anyone. It was just you and Jake. Your Jake. “Now I don’t know if you’ve figured it out yet, because you’re a little self absorbed sometimes, but I actually really like you.” The backhanded compliment landed hard enough to knock the breath out of your lungs as you just stood before Jake in his tan service uniform—looking all sorts of flustered and fuckable. “And contrary to popular belief around here? You aren’t just Mavs kid to me! You’re Iris.” Hearing the opposite of what you were told on a daily basis by the man you were falling in love with made the heat in your cheeks rise to new heights. “You’re incredible and fierce and I’ve seen your file and I’ve read your statistics and if you keep flying the way you do against these guys? You’re gonna come out on top.” Speechless—for once in your life you didn’t have something smart to say. But the fact that you looked up at Jake like he was the only man in the world who had ever seen your true value, made his heart skip a beat. “So no, no this—“ Jake waved his arms around a little. “Whatever this is between you and me? Us, exclusively—It isn’t over and I won’t let you run away from this because you think you’re saving me from something, you’re worth any repercussions that come.”

It really was enough to render you completely speechless for a moment as you just drank in the frazzled nature that was Jake Seresin. Until you felt those all too familiar butterflies in the pit of your stomach ignite. You smiled at him, trying to hide the bashful nature that had overcome you as you reached out to pull him closer by the loop of his trousers.

No one could see you. Right? Wrong. Because as Jake leaned in to kiss your lips Rebound caught the sight of you in his peripheral vision as he walked on by. He made no attempt to stop the display in front of him from happening, nor did he make his presence known. He simply hit the camera icon on his phone and took a single photo. Capturing the moment your lips pressed to your superiors forever, before he moved along.

“You don’t grovel?” You finally spoke as you pulled away and put some distance between the two of you, completely unaware of what Rebound had just done. Jake chuckled softly. “And I’ll ruin your life.”

“You gotta be in my life to ruin it first.” Jake was quick to counter before he shoved his hands in his pockets. “Come over tonight, I’ll cook you dinner, and I might even let you do that thing I know you think I like.”

“I’ll think about it.” You murmured through a grin. “You really are obsessed with me.” It was as teasing as it was truthful. “Aren’t you?”

“Much to my own dismay, unfortunately I am Lieutenant Mitchell.” Jake held your gaze for a moment as he took in the sight of you. He wanted to say he loved you. He wanted to say those three words in order but they wouldn’t slip past his lips. “I’ll be watching you up there, so put on a pretty show for me.” Jake winked before turning on his heels. Leaving you to go back to work.

Blissfully unaware that his undisclosed relationship had now leaked out of his own group and into yours.

“You ready to rock and roll Iris?” Rebound smirked as he looked you up and down like a piece of meat. Like he was undressing you right there with his eyes. “Lieutenant Commander Seresin just giving you a little pep talk, was he?” He teased all knowingly, stepping closer to you as he eyed you off. Quieting his voice as he leaned in to whisper in your ear. “Or do you stick your tongue down the throats of all your superior officers just to get ahead?”

It felt like time stood still as you pulled off your check tag. Signalling you’d checked over your fighter jet. There was no way Coen Rebound Rhodes knew about you and Jake. He couldn’t. If he did, you were in serious trouble.

“What the hell are you talking about?” You tried to hide the panic that rose from the depths of your soul as the realisation set in that Coen had seen you with Jake. Or had he? Maybe he was just bluffing? He surely had to be bluffing to get a rise out of you.

“I just saw you—“ Rebound trapped you with his arms on either side of your shoulders up against your F-18. “Kissing Seresin.” He smirked to one side of his mouth as you turned your head to the side. Just to get away, just to avert your gaze. Rebound let his forehead rest against your temple as he chuckled. “I was right about you, wasn’t I?” He stopped to inhale your scent. “Daddy's little girl, bet you’ve climbed the ladder this high by that stupid last name of yours and sucking whoever you can get your hands on.”

It wasn’t anything you hadn’t heard before but something had flipped inside Rebound. His voice was laced with venom. He didn’t have Krod around to keep his head level. Usually the two lived in each other’s pockets but right now they were in separate groups. Leaving you to deal with the unhinged nonsense of Rebounds jealousy and egomaniacal power play.

“Stop—“ You whispered softly, closing your eyes as tight as you could. “You know nothing.” Rebound had never seen you so scared, so caught up in the moment. He thrived off the way he had you trembling in fear, so much so he slammed his hand against the jet you stood strapped up against just to see you jump. “Ah-“

“Don’t worry Mitchell—“ Rebound snarled as he took your hand in his and guided it between his legs. “Your secret’s safe with me.” He paused to kiss your temple and you flinched when you felt just how hard he was under his flight suit. It made you sick. “So long as I get to see exactly what else that pretty little mouth of yours is good for besides talking shit.” Rebound guided your hand across his hardened and clothed dick as he growled in your ear. “I bet that’s what Hangman thinks too? Isn’t it?” A few weeks ago Rebound would have been right, but your relationship with Jake had evolved since then. “Daddy Mav doesn’t know does he?”

You couldn’t breathe as you shook your head no in defeat. This was a new low even for Rebound. He chuckled with a wicked smirk plastered on his smug face. He had you on tone.

“Well, trust me when I say I have zero hesitation about sending this pretty little picture to all the staff at Miramar.” Rebound let you go as he pushed himself up and away from you, unlocking his phone as he did so to reveal the photo he’d taken only a few short moments ago. “Including Mav—“

“You know I always knew you were a piece of shit Rhodes but even this is a new fucking low for you.” You spat as you tried to keep your tears from showing. “Extorsion and sexual harassment will look awfully disgusting on your discharge papers.” You’d always had a bad feeling about Coen Rebound Rhodes, but this had thrown you for a loop. “You’re meant to be my fucking wingman.”

“Maybe so—“ Rebound sighed. He was once again looking at you like a piece of meat. “But at least I didn’t fuck my way to where I am, I got here all by myself.” He paused, chuckling as he held your chin. You didn’t dare move, you held your ground. “Unlike some of us.”

“Woah—“ White's shock echoed inside your head as you turned to see the two of you standing so close and personal. He had no idea you’d just been blackmailed. Like you said before—all men thought with their dicks. “I was just telling Iris I thought you had a thing for her man.”

“Yeah—yeah you got me man.” Rebound smiled as he moved away from you and walked towards White, patting him on the back three times. “Let’s get these birds in the sky shall we?”

Adrenaline coursed through your veins as you tried to regulate your breathing. In out, in out, in out, as you stood by and watched the two men interact like one of them hadn’t just threatened you, hadn’t just assaulted you.

“Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck—“ You sobbed to yourself as your nails dug into your palms for five consecutive seconds. Deciding that’s all the time you were going to allow yourself to freak out. Five seconds, that’s it. “One, two, three, four, five.” You counted under your breath before you shook out of your own head. You had a job to do—you’d deal with this shit heap after your run.

***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***~**

People have scars in all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret road maps of their own personal histories. Diagrams of all their old wounds. Most old wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar, but some of them don’t.

Some wounds we carry with us everywhere, and through the cuts long gone? The pain still lingers.

“Alright aviators, this is your captain speaking.” You’d all been told during the debriefing before lunch that this afternoon's training session was based on a mission your instructors had undertaken a few years prior. The file you’d been given while Phoenix explained the HOP was titled Uranium 2019. “Time to target is set at three minutes, go over that time limit or exceed an altitude of three hundred feet and you’re out.” Maverick explained as he gained altitude, watching from above as you tailed just behind Rebound. “You’ll fly a pre-programmed route in your Nav systems that simulates the canyon flown.” He continued as you flew to your starting location. “White, Rebound and Iris, are you ready?”

“As we'll ever be Captain Mitchell.” Rebound spoke confidently through the comms as you and Davie both confirmed the same thing with a simple:

“Roger.” And “Yes Sir.”

On the ground, the majority of the Daggers were in the red room, watching on as the newest recruits tried to tackle the same thing they were challenged with a few years prior. For some the mere mention of that mission brought up raw emotions. Like scars that never truly healed.

“So how’d you go Romeo?” Bradley sighed as he came to stand next to where Jake had been looking out the window for your jet. He’d asked you for a show and you were gonna give him one. “Did you confess your feelings? You unapologetic love for what could be considered my little sister?” Jake scrunched his nose up at that very thought, he’d been so focused on you being Mavs daughter that he hadn’t really stopped to put two and two together that you and Bradley were all each other had in terms of a sibling bond. “Or am I to expect a brooding and broken hearted Hangman from now on?”

“On your left, Rebound, let's move.” Your voice was barely audible as the little radio commentator in the corner crackled away.

“I told her she isn’t allowed to quit me because she thinks she’ll ruin my life.” Jake admitted, his eyes never left your jet as you sawed through the sky. “But no, I didn’t tell her I love her, I don’t wanna freak her out at work before a HOP.”

“Smart.” Bradley crossed his arms over his chest. “Good strategy.” He murmured under his breath. “Phoenix is staring a hole into the backs of our heads.” Nodding Jake chuckled.

“How’s my ass looking Iris? Drooling yet?” Rebound taunted as you followed him through the pre-programmed route.

“Yep—“ He popped the P that left his mouth as he refused to turn around. “I can feel the burning, but unfortunately for her my love life and subsequent consequences that may come of that said love life are none of her damn business.” Jake made sure to say it loud enough for Phoenix to hear. She did. And it didn’t take long for her to retaliate with a huff.

“It’s disgusting! is what it is Hangman, she’s twenty something! and you’re thirty three!”

“We should increase our speed, Iris.” Trash could be heard as he assessed and observed the flight path and time. “We won’t make it at this speed.”

“Roosters thirty seven and still sleeps with a night light.” Jake chuckled as he turned around to face Phoenix who stood stern and firm on her belief Jake's relationship with you was wrong. Bradley just scoffed.

“I do not! It’s a scented wall diffuser!”

“Hear that Rhodes? Increase your speed, you're holding up traffic back here.”

“What has that got to do with anything?” Phoenix asked as she frowned up at Jake. All he did was shrug his shoulders.

“I thought we were just stating facts associated with our age.” Jake was growing tired of the way Phoenix would look at him like he was the scum on the bottom of her shoe. He did however notice that she still sported her ready glasses as she pushed them up the bridge of her nose. So he did what Jake did best when he felt threatened, he went on the defense. “Those glasses make you look indecisive, you should probably change the frames before you have your quarterly review with the admirals.” Phoenix didn’t falter as Jake stepped in her direction, she couldn’t hardly look at him without wanting to throw up. “What are your weaknesses, Lieutenant Commander Trance? Because if me being an easy mark for Mitchell junior worries you so damn much I can’t wait to find out what skeletons you stuff in your closet.”

“We’re fine, we’ll make up time in the straight, you got somewhere to be Mitchell? With a certain Lieutenant Commander perhaps?” That comment didn’t go unnoticed by your dad who was circling above, watching every move the three of you made like a Hawk. It didn’t go unnoticed by Payback either as he sat by the radio. He slapped at Fanboys chest to get his attention, pointing to the communication radio for him to listen in on too.

“I don’t have any, I’m just that good.” Phoenix smirked as she watched Jake saunter off over to the lounge. He sat with a groan as his knees cracked. Something you teased him for. Old bones and all. “What exactly do you think Mavs gonna do when he finds out you’ve been sleeping with his daughter?” Phoenix raised a concerned brow, contrary to popular opinion all she did was care about her team, she cared about Jake and didn’t want to see him taken to the slaughterhouse over some school kid crush he was mixing up as full blown love and admiration. “When he finds out the man whore of North Island has tainted his daughter and half the female population here.”

“Correction—“ Bradley entered the chat once more as he moved back into frame. “He was a man whore Nix, Jake and Iris have this exclusivity clause.” The look Phoenix sent Bradley made his spine go ridged before she shook her head and held the bridge of her nose in disbelief.

“What’s he on about?” Davie asked as panic rose in your chest. “Shut the fuck up.” You muttered back. “Increase your damn speed or I’m taking over.”

“You’re a fucking idiot Jake, wake up to yourself!”

“Go fuck yourself Natasha! Or find someone else to do it because I’ve just about had it up to here with you sticking your nose all up in my relationship!”

“Oh how I’d love to see you try sunshine.” Rebound smirked under his mask as he slightly increased his speed, so did you. But only so you could stay hot on his tail while you waited for an opportunity to pass. “Wouldn’t mind getting a good look at your ass.”

“Okay okay that’s enough—“ Bob finally intervened from where he’d been eating his late lunch. He wasn’t all that hungry after finding out about Jake’s most recent conquest. He’d finally managed to stomach a peanut butter sandwich. “Both of you.” He warned firmly. “Nat, I know you worry but Jakes a big guy—let him lick his own wounds when he realizes playing with fire is a bad idea and Jake? Just because you think you know what you’re doing doesn’t give you the right to dismiss others' concerns, be honest—you surely can’t think anything good comes out of whatever you and Lieutenant Mitchell think you are to each other, right?”

The silence was deafening, all that could be heard was the mundane radio chatter happening in the background between you and Trash and Rebound as you ran your course. Jake took a deep breath and balled his fists. He’d told Bradley earlier how he felt but with what felt like the world against him? He felt he needed to make his intentions clear to everyone who stood in the rec room.

“That’s enough Lieutenant Rhodes, inappropriate misconduct won’t be tolerated.” Maverick reminded the cocky pilot flying lead as he observed and tried to stay out of the situation as much as possible. He knew you could fight your own battles, but even this was overstepping the line. Pete would have stepped in for any pilot.

“I’ve never felt this way about anyone before.” He said with eyes closed. Pretending it was you he was admitting his true feelings to. “She’s the most incredible person I’ve ever known and I know I don’t have the best track record, but I love her. Genuinely love her, so much that if it came down to choosing her or the navy?” You could have heard a pin drop in the silence. “I’d turn my wings in tomorrow.” Fuck.

“I’m sick to death of your inability to understand that I’m a better pilot than you!” The tighter the turns you took, the more intense the force of gravity was on your body. It multiplied. You could feel it compressing your lungs, you could feel it forcing the blood from your brain—impairing your judgment and reaction time. But you could handle it. What you couldn’t handle was Rebound. “Fucking child!”

“We just wanna make sure you know what you’re heading towards, I know you’ve heard it a dozen times by now, but we aren’t kidding when we say Mav is going to delete your entire existence from this earth if you don’t quit while you’re ahead.” Bob argued although he respected Jake's feelings, something most of the time he thought he wasn’t capable of feeling.

“Lieutenant Mitchell, remember what the Admirals agreed upon when allowing you to rejoin this group of aviators.” Your dad felt that it was necessary to remind you now before you took things too far.

“Guys?” Mickey tried to gain the group's attention as he listened in on the communications radio that was starting to pick up some concerning issues unfolding. His voice was drowned out in the forefront of Jake impending doom.

“You might be right, but I think I can take Mav.” Jake puffed his chest a little as Rooster rolled his eyes and caught the distressed look on Fanboys face.

“Hey guys—“

“Yeah right.” Phoenix countered through a laugh of her own. It was laced with disappointment. “He’s gonna put you in the ground.”

“Guys!” Mickey shouted. “Somethinga wrong, listen.” He snapped, silencing the group who were so concerned about arguing over Jake's mental status that they had completely drowned out the chaos that was happening in the sky.

“Give me the binoculars.” Jake hissed as he stood, he snatched them off the table close to where the lounge had been before he settled in to set you in his line of sight. “What’s going on up there?”

“Increase your speed Rebound! We’re falling behind!” Your voice could be heard as clear as day as Bradley turned up the volume on the radio. “We need to move faster!”

“We’re not gonna make it.” White added. “Recommending an increase to five hundred knots with an altitude of two eighty five for good measure.”

“I’m taking over, we’re gonna get caught in his jet wash or go over three minutes if we don’t.” You explained as you started to pull up on your throttle. Gaining altitude but remaining under the ceiling altitude. Jake watched on from the rec room as he watched you pull a stunt he hadn’t seen in a while. None of them had. Not since Mav had done it last.

And it was easy to tell in that very moment who’s daughter you were as you inverted above Rebound, cockpit to cockpit as you flipped him the bird before you took off and straightened out—leaving him in your wake.

“Holy shit.” Jake chuckled as he watched the gap grow bigger and bigger between you and Rebound. “She’s gonna have some explaining to do for that stunt.”

“ARE YOU ON CRACK!?” Rebound shouted through the comms as he sped up to tailgate you, far too close for your liking. “Dangerous! You’re damn lucky you didn’t kill all three of us!”

“Damn they’re really going at each other aren’t they?” Rooster frowned. “I knew this Rhodes guy was cocky but he’s just not even trying to be a team up there.” Jake pressed his lips into a fine line, the way you got treated by these tools was downright disgusting on a good day.

“I’ll lead the way from here on out.” You counted through a chuckle before Rebound excelled to a speed that surpassed your own, cutting right up the side of you as he spun around—creating a vortex-like paradox with his jet stream. “Holy crap!” You jolted from the shock of it. A slight miscalculation in proximity to your aircraft is what saw the next few seconds play out like a bad dream. Every pilot's worst nightmare.

Burning in.

“Fuck she’s caught in his jet stream.” Phoenix gasped as she watched on from beside Jake. It wasn’t hard to see the scene playing out up in the sky above base. “He did that on purpose, he would have known he was too close.”

“He’s a dick like that.” Jake hissed, he’d never once taken his eyes off your jet. “At least I never did that to you, no matter what you think of me.”

“White I’m losing it here!” Jake had never heard you sound so panicked. None of them had. You were a Mitchell after all. It didn’t seem like the kind of thing you and Pete did. “I can’t, I can’t pull up!”

“Iris, you okay?” Mavericks' voice mimicked your own concern as he watched on. Then—the warnings began. Davie began listing off the signals blaring in his face, from engine lock to hydraulic pressure failure.

“We’re losing systems, Iris get us back on track!” White shouted as his own panic caught up to him. All the while Rebound had begun to circle back towards you in the commotion, watching as the nose of your F-18 tilted towards the ground. “We’re losing altitude! Mav what do we do here?”

Jake Seresin had stared down death on a number of occasions, the last time he did just that was when he went after Rooster and Mav. Without permission. But as he watched on in silence as the fear of losing you before he even had a real chance to have you crept up on him, he’d give anything to make a deal with god and get him to swap your places.

“No.” He mumbled to himself in panic. “No no no no.” This couldn't be happening. “Come on baby, pull up, pull up.”

“They’re going down.” Rooster panicked as he took off out of the rec room and down the corridor. He was heading out to the tarmac, he just needed to be outside. “No no no no no!”

“Iris eject!” Everyone could hear the panic in Mavs voice and the warning sounds blaring through the comms, "If you can’t control it, eject!”

“White, eject eject eject!” You confirmed the orders as Jake dropped the binoculars and raced after Rooster. He could feel the warm tears rushing down his race as he ran down the corridor. Pushing past anyone who got in his way. The hallway felt forever moving, like it kept expansion in length the faster Jake ran. He didn’t exactly know where he was running to, but he knew he needed to get to you. He couldn’t help but he needed to get to you.

Davie reached down between his legs and pulled at the yellow and black emergency handle. It sent him and the cockpit flying. But as the system screamed at you that you were losing altitude and losing altitude fast? You froze. Perhaps you weren’t the better pilot after all.

“Get out! Punch out Y/n! Punch the fuck out!” Rebound shouted, he was in denial already that this was his fault. He watched in shock horror as smoke bellowed around you. Black, all consuming smoke before bright orange flames ignited—melting your flight suit into the skin of your legs.

“Fuck!” The last thing that went through your mind were your kneecaps as you flung out of the cockpit at the very last second before it broke up into a trillion pieces in a flaming fireball that set the sky ablaze. The pressure you fighter jet had been under was enough to have it combusting.

“Mav, did you see a chute!?” Rebound asked as he curled around. “Captain Mitchell!?”

“No! No, I don't think so!” Pete panicked through the comms. Phoenix held her hand over her mouth as she looked at Bob who was looking at her. That could have been her. It could have been him. They’re own training accident came dashing back to the forefront of their minds. Like old scars that never healed.

“Oh my god.” For Jake and Bradley on the ground as they looked up into the sky from the tarmac—they could only see one parachute. They couldn’t spot you in the sky. “Rooster, did she?” Jake didn’t want to say what he thought was true. They couldn’t see you. They could only see the flaming fragments of your jet burning in towards the ground as Lieutenant White pulled his chute.

Jake's heart stopped inside his chest at the words Bradley spoke next. His knees hit the tarmac as his legs gave in from the shock of it all. He couldn’t believe it. He wouldn’t believe it. This type of accident didn’t happen in training.

“I don’t think she made it.”

***~***~***~***~***~***~***~***

By the time Rebound and Maverick were landing, Jake had had enough time to place the blame for this on one man. One person who’s reckless and irresponsible intent could have gotten you killed.

“Lieutenant Rhodes!!” Jake spat as he marched up the tarmac towards where Rebound was just hoping off the wing of his jet. Still visibly pale and shaken from what had just happened. “So help me god you better pray she’s okay or else I’m gonna make sure you never fly another day in your damn life!” Jake hissed through gritted teeth as Rebound dropped his helmet to his feet when Jake balled his fist into the Normex of his flight suit and pulled him in as close as he could. “DO I MAKE MYSELF FUCKING CLEAR! THIS IS YOUR FAULT YOU PIECE OF SHIT!”

“Jake! Woah, easy! easy!” Bradley tried to intervene as Mav rushed over. Around the four of them search and rescue had already managed to get a lock on Lieutenant White's tracking beacon. But they still couldn't see you on their system. That was a cause for concern. It was chaos on the tarmac.

“Hangman! Get off him.” Pete sighed, still trying to wrap his head around the fact his only daughter might be gone. But for now he was still a captain, this was still his team and his responsibility. “Let him go.”

“You know why Lieutenant Commander Seresin is so pissed don't you Mav?” Rebound shoved at Jake's chest as he was let go. “Its because hes fucking your daughter!” Pete froze in his place, as did Bradley. But Jake? He lunged at Rebound with pure rage coursing through his veins. His hand wrapped around the younger aviator's throat as he pushed him back into the side of one of the search and rescue vehicles. “He’s fucking your daughter right under your nose!”

“You could have killed her, you know exactly what you did up there!” Jake shouted as the thought of losing you hit him again. “If shes gone, if a single hair on her fucking head is gone you better learn how to sleep with your eyes open.”

“I didn't cause this.” Coen shoved Jake off of him as he dusted himself off. “She showboated, I showboated back, she lost control and she couldn't figure out how to gain it back!” As medics and teams of search and rescue personnel piled into their respective unit vehicles, Rebound set the record straight. “And im not the one fucking around with her, sleeping with the captains daughter.” He snickered. “You are a freak after all Seresin.”

Rebound had a date with the medics to get assessed and cleared. He didn't need to be looked over, but it was standard practice. The rest of his class stood off to the side after having heard the entire training session through their own comms units as they waited by the hanger. Jake feared what he would be met with when he turned around. He thought for sure it would be mavericks fist. But to his own surprise? The connection was never made.

“Mav–” Jake didn't know what he could say to try and deescalate the tense situation he and Rooster found themselves in. Bradley had his thumb at the ready to call 911 if needed. He was sure Jake Seresin was about to be a deadman. But again, to his own shock. Nothing happened as Pete held his hand up to silence Jake from speaking another word.

“If what Rebound said is true, I need you as far away from me as possible.” He said as calmly as possible. “Because if I find out you've so much as touched my baby girl I'll skin you alive Jake.”

“Mav–” Rooster tried to intervene, but again was silenced by only a look.

“My daughter might be dead out there.” He spoke again as calmly as he could, trying not to believe in the high probability of that fact. “I need to make sure she isn't, so we will circle back to this at a more appropriate time.”

“I hope you have a really good security system.” Bradley watched as Mav piled into one of the search and rescue movers. Jake and Bradley moved to a separate one all together. Making sure that needed distance was well and truly in place. Jake listened to Mavs warnings, but there wasn't anything on this planet that would stop him looking for you. Not even your own dad. “Because something tells me you’re gonna need it.”

Jake sighed as he sat in the back of one of the search and rescue vans. He wanted to scream and cry and throw up all at once. But he couldn't even find the energy to breathe properly. He just needed you to be okay so he could tell you the three words he wished he told you before you went up. That he loved you. Oh so much.

“Shut the fuck up, Bradshaw.”

I know I joke about hurricanes, because I am a Floridian and that's what we do. But that's because they're Normal, and so all Floridians know the Hurricane Rules. We know how the song and dance goes. West Coasters don't know the Hurricane Rules. You've never needed to know the Hurricane Rules. You guys know the Earthquake Rules, because that's Normal. But because of climate change, Hillary and her cousins are probably going to be a more common occurrence for the southwest. So here are the Hurricane Rules, straight from the Floridian's keyboard.

1: Assume the forecast is going to be wrong, and reality is going to be worse. Get your water jugs and batteries, get your Hurricane Cake, stack the sandbags, board the windows, and put your electronics on a high shelf. And if the NOAA says "category 5" and "landfall" in the same sentence without a "will not" in there, you pack your bags and get the fuck out.

2: Do not fucking go outside. There's surprisingly little lightning in a hurricane, but that's not the problem. It's the wind. The wind will knock you off your feet, either outright or by flinging heavy debris at you. You will not get back up again.

3: If the wind doesn't get you, the water will. Even after the storm has passed, stay the hell away from moving water, both on foot and in a vehicle. When the the flooding has settled down, then you break out the flat bottoms and jet skis and kayaks. Don't fucking swim in it, okay? Don't. The southwest may not have alligators like we do, but all the same you do NOT want to know what's in there. (It's mostly sewage.)

Also, your soil isn't built for inundation, and you've got hills there. Mudslides are going to happen, so be careful of mountain driving in the week or so after the storm comes through.

#important post #safety #Hurricane Hillary #please be safe

[English] Pokespe Diamond and Pearl Go! Go! Jet Coaster ダイヤとパールでGO!..×2ジェットコースター

Video link: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm40601739

Both: Sparkling, Pure Pure, yes! Our dream!!

Dia: Hey, Pearl! Since we're going through the trouble of singing, let's make it a showier, sparklier song~! Pearl: Oh!! But a slow song would get old fast, wouldn't it? Soooo… Speed up! Dia: Uwaah! Pearl~ it's amazing! Just like a Nibbleking~!* Pearl: No, why would I be-! Well, whatever, let's go!

Pearl: Come on, Go! Go! Hurry up and follow me! (Dia: Sparkle, sparkle, glitter! Wonderful) Dia: Changing even the bad things to smiles (Pearl: We'll definitely never give up!)

Dia: Make some sweets, relaxed and carefree. If you have fun, you might express yourself Pearl: Well, well? Was there any doubt? If you wish for your dreams Both: They'll come true!

3, 2, 1, 0!

Both: Sparkling Dia: On our journey of encounters Pearl: Aiming for the peak of that mountain!! Both: Until we reach stardom Let's go hurry after it!! Take our hands

Pearl: It's always showtime Dia: We'll dance away at the rice ball** Pearl: Let's advance together to shining days Both: To the top, here we go!!

Dia: I want to stuff my face full of food (Pearl: Special training start "Let's go!") Pearl: The world is mira-curl-curl-curling (Dia: Nothing to worry about)

Pearl: Aim straight ahead, reaching for the peak of comedy Dia: Gotcha! I'll make my own material*** Pearl: Eh!? Dia: Senbi, cake- yum, delicious~!! Pearl: No, you just wanna eat!!

Both: Steady to the west Pearl: But what about the east… oh no Dia: It's ok! We'll take it leisurely! Both: If we send out the SOS The Drifblim will come! Thank you

Dia: Let's have lunch~ (Pearl: But I don't really want to…) Dia: Let's laugh together, my dear friends To the future Both: Let's fly away!!

Pearl: Dia… don't just go changing the lyrics like that! Dia: Ah… you can't say that, Pearl; since it's recording, the mic can pick up all this chattering, right? Pearl: I don't want you telling me thaaat!

Both: 3, 2, 1, 0!

Both: If we're men Pearl: We'll aim for the heavens Dia: That's right, just as promised Both: Even a miracle Is something that can be grasped!! C'mon, one more time

Both: Sparkling, Dia: Even after our journey of encounters Pearl: Is over, our bonds won't disappear! Both: Until we reach stardom Let's keep going bit by bit!! Take our hands

Pearl: Even on a sketch-y trip**** Dia: Old gateau will be your old friend~***** Pearl: We'll roar to the universe our brilliant song Both: To the skies Here we go!!

Translator's notes: *Dia makes a pun off of Japanese Koikingu (Magikarp), instead saying "Kuikingu" which would literally be "eating king." I decided to keep the pun instead of the specific Pokemon he used, instead making a pun off of Nidoking (Nibbleking). **Diamond alters an old Japanese saying: "Warau kado ni wa fuku kuru," which means "good fortune comes to the smiling gate/those who smile." He changes it to "warau kado ni wa onigiri" or "onigira to those who smile." I decided to keep the rice ball pun instead of the old saying. ***"Neta" can mean a joke, material for a story, or ingredients. Dia tried to trick Pearl by saying he would make his own joke, but the joke was that he was making food instead. ****For once, Pearl makes a pun. He literally said something along the lines of "Even on a flurried/flustered journey," but the word dotabata means both "flurried/flustered/panicked/noisily" and "slapstick comedy." *****Diamond makes the same joke as the first translator's note, but instead of saying onigiri, he says mori no yokan, which is what the old gateau is called in Japanese. Once again, I kept the pun instead of the meaning, which means that in my translation, Diamond's same joke actually looks like two different jokes.

Original song: Go! Go! Jet Coaster! Illustration: こんぶ (Konbu) Lyrics/video: yami

#pokemon #pokemon adventures #pokemon special #pokespe #Diamond #Pearl #Trainer #yuera #konbu #yami #i don't make videos #i only translate them #not mine #pokesupe #Go go jet coaster #Fujima Hitoshi #Sinnoh

What songs are you most looking forward to playing in Live Emotion?

A particular dance MV, a new song that was never in Shining Live, an old favourite Shining Live beatmap, or just a favourite Utapri song.

Personally I'm really curious about the new songs we never got in Shining Live, but Lycoris no Mori and Go x2 Jet Coaster were always favourite beatmaps of mine in Shining Live, so I'm really curious how they'll play in Live Emotion!

#I wonder if every song will get a dance MV or just special ones #Id guess they all will so they can draw in more players #make unlocking new songs more exciting #and may as well to make the most of the models and assumedly hired choreographers since theyve made it such a big selling point so far #Likewise i wonder if there'll be special outfits for certain songs available via gacha #like the outfits from the gekidan shining songs #I wonder if the MV will be restricted to the members that sing the song or if they'll be based on your team memebrs #id assume limited to the singers of the song #But then MVs like Pri Love Universe with 18 members would be a lot and solos might feel empty. very interesting!

A Sweet Mishap - Chapter 4

Pairing - Jensen Ackles x Reader

A/N: Here's the first of the completely new chapters. I hope you enjoy. Let me know if you want to be added to the taglist.

A Sweet Mishap Masterlist | Main Masterlist

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

I wake up to the deliberately annoying sound of my alarm blaring from my bedside. I look out at the still-dark skyline outside and slide off the alarm before checking my notifications. A smile instantly replaces my sleepy scowl as I read the messages that filtered in overnight.

I know it’s late, but I’m wired from sleeping on the flight… even though it was only three hours. I know I should be better at this flying thing with how much I travel for work but I guess I never learn Also…I could get used to you colliding with me 😉 God that was too cheesy, I’m sorry, forget I said anything, I blame the jetlag! I need to stop before I permanently scare you away if it’s not already too late. Good night

I smile at his dorkiness before dragging myself out of bed. As much as I’d love nothing more than to message him back now and text all day, my shift starts in an hour and I need to get ready first. I force myself through the motions of showering, donning my uniform, eating a light breakfast, and brushing my hair and teeth before slipping out the door. The sun is just beginning to rise overhead as I stroll through the quiet streets. As much as I’m not a morning person, I do enjoy this little slice of quiet before the rush of the day.

Once I get to the cafe, I greet the baker who is finalising the baked goods for the day. I help him stock the fridges, leaving the tray of burnt muffins on the bench in the kitchen as per his instructions and then open the store.

With the Christmas rush still in full swing, the morning passes quickly but leaves me exhausted. Once I finally get a break I take one of the slightly burned and therefore, unsaleable candy cane muffins and a bottle of water and sit at a small table out the back of the cafe. I pull out my cracked phone and finally allow myself to reply.

I sell festive drinks & snacks to people who haven’t yet had their morning coffee - It’s gonna take more than a jet lag-induced comment to scare me away Watching you behead someone on TV though, that was rough You sure I can trust you? I promise I’d never hurt you, that is unless I catch you draining someone of their blood Wait! Are you working? I didn’t mean to disturb you Not at the moment I can chat for a bit So, you promise you won’t drink anyone? I get queasy when someone cuts their finger, so no chance My show’s probably not for you then The eye candy’s worth it But I also live alone, so horror is generally a no-go That’s ok. As I said, it’s more interesting to me that you’re not a fan There are no expectations to live up to But eye candy, eh? I don’t know about Dean but there was the vamp was pretty sexy Till he lost his head anyway Oh…🥺 Nah, Dean’s alright too… Though I do think he’s the most scary. I don’t think he would take kindly to wearing a cup of hot chocolate Probably not But he’d find you charming He’d probably use it as an excuse to try and get your number He’d have more confidence than shyly writing his number on a coaster and hoping the pretty girl makes the next move You think I’m pretty? You don’t need to try and flatter me You’ve only seen me when I’m exhausted and covered in rotting milk If you’d seen me on a day when I’d actually put in some effort then maybe I’d believe you Then maybe one day I’ll have to give you a reason to dress up for me Take you on a real date You plan on coming back to New York? It’s not in my schedule yet But maybe in the new year Unless I can tempt you to come to Texas? I live in a single-bedroom apartment in downtown New York And I work in a cafe I can’t afford airfares and hotel accommodations in Texas at Christmas! How about if it was all-expenses-paid? Jensen…

Just as I’m typing a reply my colleague bursts through the backdoor. I check the time and realise it’s been over ten minutes since I came outside. I quickly type out a halfhearted excuse and shut off my phone before scurrying back inside.

Sorry, my break’s over. I gotta get back to work. Talk later

Despite going through the motions; making coffees, heating muffins, and delivering orders, my mind continues to wander back to Jensen’s offer and my lack of response. We barely know each other, how could I let him pay for a holiday in Texas? While a holiday sounds like heaven after working my ass off all year, I refuse to let it be at someone else’s expense, even if that person is a successful and wealthy actor. I refuse to be seen as a gold digger, even in my own eyes. Also, I can’t stand the thought of him finding out my true passion and then accusing me of using him to get a leg up in the industry. By the end of my shift, I decide to come clean about everything.

Back in my apartment, I shower again and change into comfy clothes before collapsing on the couch. I switch on the TV, not caring what’s on, just looking for a little comforting background noise. The random Doctor Phill reruns don’t take long to lull me to sleep.

The continual vibrating of my phone on the coffee table drags me back to the land of the living. I rub my eyes to wake myself up and check who’s blowing up my phone.

I’m sorry if I came on too strong I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable You’re right, we barely know each other I promise I’m gonna stop making stupid comments and just give you space I’m sorry again

I mull over the messages for a few minutes and type and delete multiple replies before mustering up all the courage I can and giving in and pressing the call button instead. I listen to the dial tone for a few rings before he finally picks up. Wanting to smooth things over before he jumps in all apologetically I rush to speak first as soon as the call connects.

“Look, I know we’re texting people, not calling people. But this conversation needed to be had like this.”

“Are you telling me to lose your number? Because I will if that’s what you want.”

“No. I just think we’ve been living in some fantasy, and maybe you’re used to that since you’re an actor. But here in New York, no matter how badly I want to be a performer, I have to live in the real world. Any handouts I take, and any relationships I make will be used against me.”

“A holiday is not a handout. But wait, you want to be a performer?”

“During the year, I took acting and singing classes. I also auditioned for roles on Broadway. But obviously, I didn’t get any of the roles. But I swear, I didn’t recognise you when we met the other day. And I don’t intend to use you to get a role. I’m not a gold digger. I want to do this myself,” I ramble, hoping he believes me.

“Hey, I’m not accusing you of anything. I believe you. I’ve met people who are just trying to use me, I know the signs. So unless you’re a much better actress than I’m giving you credit for..?”

“None of this has been acting. I promise.”

“I believe you.” I hear knocking and someone calling out from the other end of the line. “I’m so sorry. They’re ready for me. I've got to go do soundcheck. Can I call you back later?”

“Soundcheck? Yeah, yeah. That’s fine. Bye, Jensen.”

“I’ll call you and explain later…or maybe tomorrow…I promise I’ll call you!”

The line falls silent and I sigh. I drag myself off the couch to make a sandwich. Just as I sit down to eat it my phone starts buzzing again. I glance at the caller ID and answer it with a smile.

“Hey, Stella!” I greet my best friend happily.

“Hey, Bestie! We still on for tonight?”

“Tonight?”

“You promised you’d help me with my wedding! I’m getting married in three weeks and there’s still so much to do!”

“Oh yeah! Of course! I can be there in say 30?”

“You’re the best, Bestie!”

“I know! See you soon!”

I hang up and finish eating my sandwich, clean up, throw on some warmer clothes and head out to catch the subway.

Oddly Specific Marauder Headcannons!!

~~~♤~~~

James Potter hates flamingos. He doesn't know why, he just despises them.

Remus didn't actually like chocolate for most of his childhood, he acquired the taste after he started hanging out with Sirius (who has a MASSIVE sweet tooth)

Peter will never turn down a trip somewhere. Going to hogsmeade? He's in. Off to visit a friend by the lake? Already got his shoes on. Stopping by the library? He's got books to turn in anyways. Literally just going to the bathroom? Might as well get some steps in.

Sirius' favorite color is actually green, but he just tells people it's black because everyone already assumes that.

James Potter had a massive collection of succulents at home that he would talk to and treat like they were people. He used the words "sad" and "happy" to describe when they needed to be watered.

Remus went through burnt out gifted kid syndrome in sixth year and refused to touch a book unless absolutely necessary because he just couldn't handle the commitment.

Peter was actually extremely gifted at potions because he grew up learning how to bake with his mums.

Sirius 100% named his jet black owl something like "Princess Sugarplum Cutie Patootie Fluffy Feathers" and would coo over her every time she brought him a letter.

James is obsessed with everything kiwi flavored but if you hand him a kiwi he will literally throw it at you.

Remus actually does NOT know how to deal with small children and would make small talk with baby Harry in his normal voice and instead of holding him on his lap he'd just sit him up next to him on the couch like an adult would sit.

On any given day Peter would have an entire package of jelly beans in his pocket or a pepper up potion that serves double as a hangover cure for James and Sirius and there was no inbetween.

Sirius has a surprisingly low tolerance for pain but he's just so damn stubborn that he refuses to give in.

James is terrible at describing anything about himself. Ask him his favorite song and suddenly he's never heard a single one in his life, ask him his favorite food and he literally doesn't remember eating anything ever. If he sees the "Name three strengths/weakness" question one more time he's going to drown himself in the black lake.

Remus would despise roller coasters, and no, not because they're unsafe or because they're scary or because of the germs, he just hates the idea of them and would honestly rather go eat a chocolate funnel cake.

Peter WILL take a paint sample card no matter how large his stack gets and you CANNOT stop him.

Sirius draws on everything, literally put a writing utensil in his hand and make him bored enough and he will just start drawing on whatever is in front of him, his friends included.

James overshares every little detail about his day and all of his favorite stuff and many things the others should probably (definitley) not know about but when it comes to important information he just... never talks about it? It took two and a half years before the others even learned he was an only child. (Though his behavior made it a little obvious)

Remus dressed up as himself three years in a row for Halloween because "The real monster is inside me" successfully earning horrified and/or angry looks from all of his friends.

Peter is obsessed with cranberry juice, the variants of Cran-Apple and Cran-Grape??? Perfection.

How would the companions react to riding the nuka cola space rollercoaster?

(p.s im so glad your back! Your my favorite fo4 blog)

Companions React to riding the Nuka-Cola Space Rollercoaster (+GAGE)

Once the Nuka World Roller-coaster, finally got electricity and was fixed up. Sole wanted their companion to go with them and try it out. While some of them are fine with it, others aren't.

Cait:

The short answer was NO. No matter how many times Sole asked Cait it was a straight NO. But with a few bottles of beer and a bet of 150 caps from Hancock. Cait strapped herself into the rocket. For the first few seconds Cait was fine but when the machine started moving forward. Suddenly 150 caps weren’t enough but it was too late. And with that, the ride took off taking Cait with it. While Sole was laughing and cheering, Cait was clawing at the machine while screaming. Seeing Cait freak out Sole immediately takes her hand to calm her down. Without hesitation, Cait instantly calmed down followed by a blush. Soon after the ride was over and they arrived at the beginning again, Cait screamed, “One more go!”. It's gonna be a long night.

Curie:

Roller-coaster? This is something that she read about in the lab a long time ago. She always wanted to ride a roller coaster. Some of the scientists that she worked with used to talk about the Nuka World rollercoasters every now and then. Which made her wish she could experience one. But that was all before she got her new body, so she could definitely experience that now. And with that both of them got onto the coaster and shot off past the coaster doors, speeding through the coaster, Curie was so overwhelmed with such happiness. She didn't know what to do, either cry, laugh, or scream. So why not all three. Even though the coaster started only minutes ago it felt like seconds to her. Begging to ride one more time they went off again. After the third time, Sole got off spinning while Curie kept going. She was so happy!

Danse:

Absolutely not. This was a firm no. There was no getting around it. The fact that Sole would even ask a question like that, and the fact he was even entertaining it by answering them was even crazier. But a drunk Danse was completely different. He was faster jumping on the roller coaster than Sole was. Though it was absolutely hilarious to see Danse so excited on the coaster, the one downside was that Danse throw up halfway through the ride which got on the coaster railing. Hopefully, Codsworth could clean it up later. Once the coaster was over Danse wanted to go around again but Sole got him out of the coaster and got him to bed. Geez.

Deacon:

This is an obvious answer YES! There is nothing this man will not do. So the fact that Sole had mentioned it, he was already there. Even before Sole. In fact, Deacon had already ridden the coaster twice by the time Sole had brought it up. And of course, he wouldn't mind going with Sole this time. Jumping into the coaster with Sole the coaster started as soon as they buckled in. The coaster then sped off. With this being Sole's first time they shrieked with wonder and surprise as the lights flashed and the aliens battled. So to not ruin Sole's experience Deacon acted shocked and he also pretended to be surprised. Once the roller coaster ended they both got off happy that they got to experience it together.

Hancock:

HOLY FUCK YES. We all know Hancock was down for absolutely anything. Hoping in the rocket with Sole in between his legs, he took some jet and they were off. Feeling the rush of jet and the adrenaline. Hancock cried tears of joy. He has never felt such a high as this one. But all things must come to an end. So holding a screaming Sole in his arms while the ride came to a close, he got an idea. He wouldn't tell anyone, but this was probably one of the best days ever since he discovered he could make BuffJet. Coming to a stop Sole got out but before they could help Hancock out, he was off again. Leaving a hearty scream and an empty jet canister behind.

MacCready:

ABSOLUTELY! There was no way in hell he was gonna pass up this chance. He strapped in and even before Sole could get in Mac ordered the Mr. Frothy to press go. Shooting off like a rocket all anyone could hear and see was Mac smiling and screaming with his hands in the air. By the time the rollercoaster was over Mac still wasn't ready to get off. He had to go around 5 times before Sole gave up and left. But Mac was none the wiser he just kept asking to go again. Maybe later he will ask Sole to join him.

Valentine:

Well, he wasn't entirely against it but also not entirely for it. He mainly got on just to ease Soles' constant begging and bribing. He gave Piper his hat and sat down next to Sole accepting his fate. Shooting off Sole looked at him with a huge smile. He smiled back but his smile soon turned into a loud scream followed by laughter and then more screaming. He was having fun but this still scared him. Minutes go by of this same emotional cycle. And once it ended Sole smiled brightly and thanked him. Even though he was a little scared at first, it was really fun, and seeing Sole happy made it 10x better.

Piper:

She was a little on the fence but it took very little convincing from Sole to do it. Plus maybe she could put this story in her paper. Maybe something a little positive to give her readers. So she strapped herself in with Sole not too far behind and waited for the ride to start. As if on cue the ride shot off before she could even finish her thought. This was probably the most fun she's had in years. This was such a crazy feeling. She never felt joy and fear at the same exact time before. The pits in her stomach were knots the whole time and she couldn't help but sweat through the palms of her hands. But in the end, it was all worth it, she enjoyed it so much that she might have to bring Nat to try it one day.

Preston:

He was super nervous about it at first. It's not like he has a fear of heights, it's just that he doesn't like being up high that long. The highest he was fine with was the castle wall or even the window at the Museum. So this was a bit of a bigger task he was quite ready for. But with Sole's constant reassurance and their hand on their shoulder, Preston felt okay and ready for anything. Strapping into the coaster with Sole right next to him, he closed his eyes to prepare but before he could even start... BOOM! The coaster shoot right off instantly without hesitation Preston began screaming at the top of his lungs with Sole laughing right next to him. Which felt like seconds to Sole felt like hours for Preston. He didn't stop screaming until the coaster stopped completely. All he could say was never again as he left the coaster.

X6:

There is no shock with this one. NO! There was absolutely no way that X6 was going to sit his ass on that rollercoaster. That was until Sole was made the leader of the Institute and anything they order he had no real choice but to follow. Even though secretly he would have gone but he's a courser he has a reputation to uphold. So with that both Sole and X6 strapped in and enjoyed the ride. While Sole was happy and screaming, X6 kept his face completely straight. Though on the inside he was screaming like a schoolgirl. After the ride Sole got off and walked away, along with everyone else, heading back to the Fizz Top for dinner. X6 stayed and hid until he knew everyone was for sure gone. Once the coast was clear X6 ordered the Mr. Frothy to start up the roller coaster. Jumping back in the coaster went around again and again until he was tired of it. If only Sole knew...

BONUS:

GAGE:

Absolutely the actual fuck not. FUCK NO. There will be nothing that will get Gage on that damn roller coaster. Not unless he had a gun pointed at his head, and even in that case he would still say no. So if that's the case and he feels that way, why the hell is he sitting next to Sole on the coaster waiting for the ride to start. This wasn't how he wanted to spend his night, he just couldn't remember how he got there. And then he remembered CAPS. Mags Black. She had bet him 3,000 caps that he wouldn't ride the coaster and wouldn't scream. So here he was sitting on the coaster with Sole while the other raider bosses stood and watched. Shooting off like a rocket they were off, zooming through the ride, which made it harder and harder to keep his composure. Letting out a small shriek he quickly covered his mouth. Soon coming back into the platform again Mags glanced at Sole and before they could say anything Gage kicked them. Sole waving off Mags and letting her know that Gage won. She tossed Gage the bag of caps and left with a puff. Before Gage got out Sole snatched the caps back with a smile and said "I wasn't gonna say anything about you screaming but since you kicked me, I think I'll keep this." Gage just shrugged and nodded his head. Well, at least he had a little fun.

This was requested by Anon. I hope you enjoyed it it's been a little while since I've made these so bear with me guys :)). Thank you so much for requesting and let me know if you guys want more. <3<3
