Hey Guardians! Thanks for showing interest in my first ever Fanfic! Feel free to leave comments and suggestions below positive or negative any feedback is appreciated! Thanks for reading! //-Cayde looked me straight in my eyes, "you'll be okay Phoenix ill take care of this and ill take over as Speaker, no one can know what happened here. Walk back the way you came and enter the Tower Plaza. Go as if you were walking towards the hanger but instead of stopping where you met Miss. Holiday continue down the steps and make a right. They'll have exactly what you need there." He gave me a smile. I scoffed and said "yeah...sure" in reply and made my way to the location he described. As I walked through the Speaker's burnt main chamber i turned around as i heard some clutter. I could see Cayde taking The Speaker's mask and robes and trying to fit into them. He kept trying to put on the mask but it wouldn't fit due to the large horn on his head. I heard him say, "there's a joke there somewhere..."-// I exited the main chamber and closed the large door behind me. I continued up the numerous steps and hallways. As I made my way through the Tower Plaza I was still trying to process everything. I thought to myself, "why am I the chosen one? I didn't do anything special. Why am I the one that needs to defeat the Darkness in a cataclysmic battle. I cant handle that type of pressure. I dont even know how to tie my shoes!" Skye laughed at that, [i]"Phoenix you don't have shoes and you forgot that you cant read either!"[/i] I paused, "whats a read and you're in my thoughts too?!! There's no escape from you woman." I heard her giggle and I could feel her smile from within me. At this point I was making my way down the stairs in the hanger when I turned right and was met by the entrance of a bar. I made my way in and sat down. I gazed over the assortment of drinks that are intended for adults only. I studied my surroundings. There were many guardians laughing and sharing war stories while having a good drink. I looked curiously as I found a large male titan surrounded by many female guardians of different classes and types. Our eyes met and he smirked. To avoid further awkwardness I turned away and called the bartender over to have a drink. A large hand slammed down on the countertop in front of me. I jumped a little while I looked up to see the large titan that was surrounded by the many female guardians before. He stood at least a head taller than me. His body fit snugly in his violet/gold armor with the personal touch of a jolly roger flag that hung from his waist. His bald head glistened from the overhead bar lighting while his bushy black beard hugged his face. We made eye contact again as he looked towards the bartender bot and said, "this man needs a jack and coke on the rocks asap." The bartender bot replied, "right away sir." I looked confused at the titan, "why'd you by me a drink?" The titan chuckled, "well honestly it looks like you've been through hell and need a drink." I replied, "yeah you wouldn't be wrong" The bartender came back with my drink and set it down. I went to take a swig when the titan stopped me. He smiled, "cheers bud" as he pulled out a large flask from his belt, undid the top, and raised it towards me. I forced a smile, "yeah cheers" and raised my drink to make contact with his. The glass made a large clanking noise as it tapped the flask. We then continued to drink our adult beverages. After I stopped drinking mine I looked up to see the titan was downing his entire flask. The female guardians from before surrounded us and chanted the titan on. After he finished his drink he burped extremely loud and nodded with a proud demeanor. The girls cheered and yelled as one of them approached me, "Hey there cutie whats your name?" I looked at her and laughed, "apparently the chosen one." I downed more of my drink. She looked at me confused, "uh...thats a weird name" I just ignored her and turned towards the titan, "so to whom do I owe thanks for this drink to?" The titan turned from the group of girls he was flirting with, "the names Roy, Commander Roy." I continued, "well Commander Roy, thank you for the drink and thanks for scaring the hell out me before by slamming this here counter" I pointed to the top of the counter as I took another swig of my drink. Commander Roy smiled, "well if that scared you, you don't want to meet Mjolnir." The Commander laughed. I looked at him confused and assumed it was a weapon of some kind. The night continued with drinks, laughs, stories, and good times.... //-The Next Morning-// I awoke on the stone floor of an apartment with my head pounding. I said out-loud, "Ugh my head" I looked around and saw a living room, kitchen, bathroom and a closed door which i assumed was the bedroom. The entire space was decorated in a minimalistic manner and the walls were a metallic silver that matched the Tower's color. The bedroom door opened and out came the group of female guardians from last night at the bar. One rubbed her back in pain, "ugh my back" Another held her side, "ugh my hip" And another held her neck, "ugh my neck" They made their way into the bathroom and closed the door. I looked on extremely confused when Commander Roy walked out of his room completely naked. I immediately yelled, "Bro what the -blam!- put some damn clothes on!!" He laughed, "told ya Mjolnir would scare you more!" Skye materialized while yawning, [i]"whats going on out he- whoah what the hell is that thing?!!"[/i] Commander Roy smirked with his hands on his hips, "I know, I know I'm used to this sort of reaction. its okay, is it your first time sweetie?" He started to laugh. Skye flustered dematerialized and said from within me, [i]"that thing needs to be registered at the armory its practically a weapon!!"[/i] I had my eyes covered and nodded in agreement. The female guardians walked out of the bathroom one by one and looked at Roy. They growled at him, exchanged their goodbyes and left. Roy looked towards me, "A few of them wont be walking straight for at least a week" and chuckled. He sat down to the couch next to me. I awkwardly said, "yeah I'm sure" as I pulled myself off the floor. Commander Roy still wasn't wearing any clothes. I asked him, "would you mind putting some clothes on? I just met you and this is a bit strange." He laughed and said, "you better get used to this, we are part of a Fireteam now. We are going to be best buddies FOREVER." He laughed and pulled a flask out of the couch. I assumed it was more alcohol. He proceeded to drink the entire flask and burped loudly after he finished it. Just like the night before. I turned to him while blocking the sight of his lower body with my hand in front of my eyes, "a fire-what?" End of Chapter 7.
