Into The Fray | TWD (Male Reader x Clementine)

| 5 | Much Needed Downtime

You and the group go inside through the open shutters.

Shane: Close those doors.

Glenn: Watch for walkers.

You were the last one in, so you followed orders and shut the double doors.

Rick: Hello?

The room was empty, but somebody appeared in the darkness holding an assault rifle.

You held your gun at him along with the rest.

???: Anybody infected?

Rick: One of our group was. He didn't make it.

???: Why are you here and what do you want?

Rick: A chance.

???: That's asking an awful lot these days.

Rick: I know.

The man just looks at you and the rest of the group.

???: You all submit to a blood test. That's the price of admission.

Rick: We can do that.

The man then commands the computer system to shut the doors in the front, you begin to follow him to an elevator.

••

You follow the man, Dr. Edwin Jenner, into the main computer room.

Edwin: Vi, bring up the lights in the big room.

You hear a humming and then beeping as the room lights up.

Clementine: Wow....

You: It's like Star Trek....

Edwin chuckles.

Edwin: Welcome to Zone 5.

Rick: Where are the rest of the doctors? The staff?

Edwin looks back at him.

Edwin: I'm it. It's just me here. I'm all that's left.

You stay silent, along with the rest of your group.

Not long after, you start submitting blood tests. You already went and Edwin was finishing up taking blood from Andrea. As she got up, she felt faint.

Edwin: Something wrong?

Jacqui held Andrea.

Jacqui: She hasn't eaten in days, none of us have.

Edwin looks at Andrea, then at the rest of the group. You sit beside T-Dog and Clementine.

Edwin: I think I can help with that.

••

The group was eating dinner, thanks to Dr. Jenner.

Dale: You know....in Italy they let the kids have a little bit of wine during dinner.

Lori: Well, when Carl's in Italy I will let him have some.

Carl: Come on, mom. Y/N's not even 21 and he's drinking.

The table looks at you.

Lori: The young man is 18, that's way closer to 21 than 12.

You: And what's the rush? Wine isn't even that good.

Daryl: Oh, I beg to differ.

Rick: Come on, let the kid have some.

Lori looks at Rick, then complies.
