Chapter 5: "C-Cry?"

Cry's pov:

Somehow I survived the whole be sneaky thing. I don't know how. I just did. I'm about to die and then poof. I finished the job and Robert is close to us. Huh, I'm guessing it's Ogre.

We bust through a door, me holding a bottle. I open a door and then shots were fired.

Robert stood behind a desk. Gun in hand, pointing straight at me. I quickly react and move to the side.

"Get back! Get the f(ull) back!"

"We just wanna talk Robert." Tess tried to reason.

"We ain't got f(riends) nothin' to talk about." He said. He sounded panic.

"Put your gun down!" Tess yelled.

"Yeah...go f(art) yourself!" Robert threw the gun at us after finding out that he had no ammo. He started to run.

"He's running!"

We ran behind after Robert.

"ROBERT!!" I yell angrily.

"Screw you Cry!" His voice yelled back. It was getting faint.

"Cry-this way!"

I kick open a door and Robert looked at me with terrified eyes. He ran in a building, me gaining on him. I jumped over a thing that toppled over.

(I can just imagine him running with fire surrounding him and trailing behind him on the floor. He has an angry face with fire in his eyes and him running so fast XD)

"Almost got 'em!"

"C'mon. C'mon." I mumble. This is how you hunt in the south. XD

I jumped through a open window that led into an alleyway. Robert was against the fence, trying to get it open. But it wouldn't budge.

'Awe. Poor guy.' I thought. I had a little pity for him. Robert gave up and rubbed his face.

"Well hello Robert."

Robert chuckles and turns to us with a sigh.

"Tess. Cry. No hard feelings, right?"

Tess clicked her tongue and bent down to pick up a pipe. But her eyes still kept on Robert.

"Not at all."

"Alright..." Robert tried to run but Tess reacted and hit his front calf with the pipe. He yowled in pain and fell to the ground.

"Ah...! God(dess)!" He looked back at Tess, who dropped the pipe making a loud clanging sound. She walked in front of Robert.

"We missed you."

She glared down at him. He was grunting in pain.

"Look, whatever it is you heard. It ain't true, okay? I just want to say-"

"The guns. You wanna tell us where the guns are?" She circled around him as if he was prey. Robert nodded.

"Yeah, sure. But...i-it's complicated. Alright?"

Tess hums in response and looks at me. I push off the wall.

"Look, alright. Just hear me out on this. I gotta-"

I went up to Robert and kicked him in the face. Anger surged through me as I heard his pathetic excuses.

"F(udge)..." I crouched down and took out his arm. I then proceeded to push it to the ground...harshly.

"Ah. Stop. Stop. Stop." Robert grunted in pain.

"Quit yer squirmin'. You were saying?"

Tess crouched down as well. Robert breathes heavily from the pain in his arm.

"I-I sold 'em."

Tess opened her mouth and looked at him in shock.

"Excuse me?"

"I didn't have much of a choice. I owed someone!"

"You owed us. I'd say you bet on the wrong horse."

"I jut need more time. Just gimme a week!"

"You know, I might've done that if you hadn't tried to f(lipping out right now) kill me."

"C'mon, it wasn't like-"

"Who has our guns?!" Tess yelled.

"...I can't...just gimme a couple of days-" We both sigh at his answer. Then, before I knew it.

I broke his arm.

He screamed out in pain.

"F(ippershanzzles)..."

"Who. Has. Our. Guns?" Tess hissed.

"I-it's the Fireflies. I owed the Fireflies." We look at each other.

"What?"

"Look, they're basically all dead. We can just-just go in there. Finish 'em off. We get the guns. Whadaya say?" He breathed out. I looked at my hands.

I broke this man's arm.

And I don't feel sorry. At all.

"C'mon. F(ake) those Fireflies! Let's go get 'em!" Now he just sounded stupid.

"This is a stupid idea." Tess aims her gun at his head and shot 2 times as we stood up.

"Well, now what?"

"We go get our merchandise back."

"How?"

"I don't know. We explain it to them. Look, let's go find a Firefly."

"You won't have to look very far."

We both turned around. A lady came out from the corner holding her side. A gun was in her hand as she looked at us.

"There you go-queen Firefly." I said to Tess and gestured over to her.

"Why are you here?" She shook her head.

"Business. You aren't looking so hot." Tess states the obvious. Marlene looks at her side and shook her head. She then looked around.

"Where's Robert."

I moved to the side with Tess. Tess presented Robert's dead body. Marlene chuckled.

"I needed him alive."

"The guns he gave you? They weren't his to sell. I want them back."

"Doesn't work like that Tess."

"The hell it doesn't."

"I paid for those guns. You want 'em back? You're gonna have to earn 'em." I rubbed my chin and had a thinking face on. Tess glanced at me and looked straight back at Marlene.

"Cat fight." I mumbled.

"How many cards are we talking about?" Marlene scoffs.

"I don't give a d(isco) about ration cards. I need something smuggled out of the city. You do that-I'll give you your guns back and then some."

"How do we know you got 'em? Way I hear it, the military's been wiping you guys out." I stepped forward towards her. Marlene clicked her tongue.

"You're right about that. I'll show you the weapons."

"Search the area."

"Yes sir!"

"I gotta move. What's it gonna be?" Marlene said. as we glanced to the side from the new voices. She started to step back.

"I wanna see those guns."

"Follow me." And then we ran after Marlene.

Le short timeskipu~

"Give me a hand with this." We stood in front of a big metal blue door. We pushed it open and entered.

"How you holdin' up?"

"I'll live."

We ran through a little dark thing. After killing the soldiers blocking our path we arrived at the door under the bridge. We blocked the door with lockers after going in.

"Where are we going, Marlene?"

She grunted in pain from running.

"This way, not so far now."

We walked to catch our breath.

"The place is right up ahead."

The speakers spoke saying that it was curfew now. "Crap." I mumbled.

"The hell we smuggling?" I ask Marlene.

"I'll show you."

We walked up some stairs and went through a kitchen. I helped Marlene with a door and Marlene fell to the ground with a cry of pain. "Hey take it-" I say as I tried to help Marlene up. But someone interrupted me.

"Get the f(udge) away from her!"

Ellie tried to knife me but Tess kept her back.

"Hey. Hey. Hold up."

I stand up, towering over Ellie but she showed no fear.

"You're recruitin' kind of young, aren't you?" I ask Marlene.

"She's not one of mine."

"Sh(ame). What happened?"

Ellie mumbled as she grabbed Marlene by the arm and helped her sit down. I wanted to hug Ellie so badly but I gotta keep my cool.

"Don't worry. This is fixable. I got us help." Marlene nodded towards Tess and me. I closed the door quietly but firmly so no one could get in.

"But I can't come with you."

"Well then...I'm staying-"

"Ellie, we won't get another shot at this."

"Hey-we're smuggling her?" I ask.

"And her." Marlene pointed to behind me. I turned around and gasped quietly at what I saw.

(Y/n) stood in front of a hidden door. (E/c) orbs wide and mouth slightly open. She wore black leather skinny pants with mid-calf black military boots. Fingerless gloves covered her slim (s/t) hands that I love to hold. Her leather black jacket, thick but cool, was open, showing a black tank top underneath. Her (h/c) hair was down and a belt filled with ammo, pistols, bombs, knives, basically everything rested on her hips. A rifle and shotgun and a small backpack was slung on her back. In her hand was a pistol but that dropped to the ground.

"C-Cry?" She whispered.

"(Y)-(y/n)?" I blurt out.

"Wait, you know this girl?" Tess pointed at (y/n) and raised an eyebrow.

"She does have good taste though. Like your clothes. But where did you get those guns?" Tess's eyes were narrowed at (y/n).

"I earned them. They're not yours. I had these even before this all started." (Y/n) said not looking at her.

She was looking straight at me.

(Y/n)'s pov:

I heard voices in the other room so I went in there with a pistol in hand. But once I walked through the door, I instantly dropped that gun.

Cry turned around and saw me. He gasped quietly.

"C-Cry?" I whispered. It's him not really is him. He came to get me out of here. He's with me...

"(Y)-(Y/n)?" He whispered back.

I answered Tess and couldn't help it anymore. I ran towards Cry and jumped on him. Hugging him tightly with tears almost streaming down my face. Cry hugged me back tightly. Like he didn't want to let go.

"I missed you." I whispered into his neck. He hummed in response and put me down. I smiled at him and I could feel him smile back at me.

"Good you know each other already." Marlene smirked at me. I blushed and looked to the window.

"There's a crew of Fireflies that'll meet you at the Capitol building."

"That's not exactly close."

"You're capable."

A/n: You get back together with Cry!!!

I'll give you a moment to cheer and fangirl (insert moment here)

Wasn't that cute. He even checked you out!

Did you count how many times Robert said the F word? XD

Your outfit up top. Pretend everything is black and leather. There's also a song that I think matches with this chapter. I was just thinking about it :D

I know I stopped halfway through the episode. But yeah, I'll continue that in the next chapter. Because I just want to give you a moment to process all of this.
