OPEROSE | Neteyam X Reader (18+)

CH2 Foul

"What are you doing in our land? What's your motive?!"

Some inspector woman had been asking me questions all day. Like- quite literally the whole day. The whole room's covered with an orange opaque cloth which makes absolutely no light pass through. So, I don't really have anything to monitor the time but my body clock. Despite this, I just know we've been at it for a reaaally long time.

"How many times will I repeat myself? If you don't answer our questions, we'll be feeding you to a mountain of angry banshees. You wouldn't want a slow, painful, extremely excruciating death, would you?" She says for the- what now? - seventh time?

"Yeah yeah, and that I would have no one to save me and that mine and my allies' efforts would mean nothing." I lazily add while gravely trying to entertain myself with my hands, bored out of my mind.

The woman was about to speak again not until we both turn our heads to the curtain that was opened for the very first time since we both entered the room.

"Oh, Jake! Good day to you." She stands up and shakes hands with the man before turning her attention to the other guy beside him. "And Neteyam. How have you been?"

The younger man flashes her a wide smile. "I'm doing well, ma'am."

"Why the fuck are you here?" I interrupt their lovely moment, my eyes boring into the guy who turned me in.

"Apologies to you two. The human has quite of a foul mouth." The inspector says.

"Apologies as well for our sudden intrusion. If possible, I'd like to interrogate the girl myself together with my son, alone. I'm in the middle of teaching Neteyam the Military ways and this would be the perfect opportunity as he turned the girl in himself." Jake asks to which the woman immediately agreed.

Not long after, the woman leaves while the two men sat on the chairs in front of me.

"What gave?" I ask, pertaining to Neteyam with a brow raised.

To be honest, I messed up. But really, there's no way to deny that I come from the sky. I have five fingers, have no experience with anything related to this world, and cannot speak nor understand their language. It still won't hurt to ask, though.

"You were aimlessly wandering around an abandoned forest for hours. The English and Ikran ride was just a pretty plus." He replies, nonchalantly.

"Wha- Huh?" I blurt out, confused as hell. How does he know that?

"I train at that forest everyday and no one ever goes but me. Imagine my surprise when an unfamiliar attractive woman appears out of nowhere and claims she doesn't have a home." He continues, a tiny smirk making its way onto his face.

His father, feeling awkward between the both of us, breaks the lingering tension.

Jake clears his throat before speaking. "You're young and most of all, I know a fighter when I see one. But you're not just a fighter, aren't you, intelligence operative Rose?"

"Good lord." I scoff. "Damn, what an embarrassing way to fuck up a job." I sigh before slouching in my seat. Hell, he knows my alias.

He continues. "You're strong and smart. You not only have knowledge about the current motives, plans, weapons of the humans, but you're also very knowledgeable of the Pandora biosphere. With all that said, I just have one question: Do you want to die?"

I laugh at it. "Ofcourse not."

He nods, satisfied with my answer. "It's settled then. You'll be tightly working with our military. If you do anything that may harm our world, you'll be immediately dealt with and I'm sure the woman earlier made it particularly clear of what's going to happen." He puts an arm against Neteyam's back. "My son will be monitoring you while you work with us. He'll be teaching you our ways as well so you can blend in."

Good. I can get back on his kid.

The tatted soldier from yesterday enters the room and drags me up from my seat and outside the interrogation room. Jake and Neteyam followed from behind. The soldier proceeds to harshly take the rope off my hands and, hesitantly, he gives me back my kunai rope dart.

As soon as I saw the tatted dude move a good 3 feet away from us, I take my weapon, threw the rope, and used it to lock onto Neteyam's hands from behind. As soon as it successfully looped around it, I dragged him close to me. Then, when he's at a distance where I could reach him, I hit him with a jump roundhouse kick, and it makes him fall hard onto the ground. Felt real dang gooood. I've been meaning to do that for a while.

The soldiers around us weren't able to act as quickly and I had already long knocked out the infamous son of Jake Sully. Even Jake himself wasn't able to do anything. However, as soon as I did what I did, I was pointed with various spears and knives around me by the Na'vi's in the area.

They all hissed.

And shit it was scary.

A few people also tended to the wounded man including Jake.

"I'm not so sure she can be part of us, Jake." The tatted man from earlier says, his spear pointing real close to my neck just enough to cut me slightly.

"I'm fine guys. I'm fine." Neteyam stands up, a little wobbly, but he's okay.

"That's sad. I'll hit harder next time." I grin but it soon falls when the tatted guy digs his spear deeper into my neck and I bite my lip from the pain.

Neteyam pulls the soldier's spear away from my neck as blood starts gushing out of my skin. "Don't give her more reason to act against us. Really, I'm alright, sir." He looks at the other soldiers as well. "Everyone.."

The soldier puts his weapon down and the others do so as well.

"Will your son be alright? Especially with the sky girl around?" The inspector asks Jake as they gaze at the scene in front of them.

"We'll see. She's unpredictable and stubborn while Neteyam's reserved and obedient. Though one thing's for sure. She doesn't kill." Jake responds.

"Really? Hm, what an odd duo. I wonder where this scheme of yours is gonna go."
