Save Me (James Conrad x reader) (ON HOLD)

Chapter 5: Skull Island

This is the font for something that is coming in over the headsets

"Yo Chapman!" I say, jumping onto his back. His arms immediately grab the bottoms of my thighs to hold me up. Believe it or not, this is not the first time I have done this to him.

"Hey Weaver. Now, why are you on my back again?" He asks with his southern accent.

"'Cause why the hell not?" I question back, just now noticing the rest of the Devils around us. I'm honestly questioning how I didn't see them before that.

"She's got a point dude." Slivko says.

"True." Mills continues.

"Ha ha! Take that jerk!"

Chapman just shakes his head laughing at my antics and continues walking to the helicopters. Helicopters is a weird word. Wait, words are weird. How am I just noticing this? Eh. Doesn't matter I guess. "Take me to my ride, noble steed!" I say, pointing to the helicopter that I'm supposed to get into with Slivko and Mason. The boys just chuckle and Chapman makes a noise that sounds like a dying horse, sending us into fits of laughter.

"Alright, here's your stop. Now get the hell off, you're heavy." Chapman says as I slide off his back, hitting him in the arm after he finishes talking.

"Did you just call me large? Fat?" I question playfully, sneering at him.

"Oh you messed up Chapman!" Reles said.

He just laughs and I get into the helicopter. Mason and James are in it and sitting opposite of me. "Hey." I say to them, waving at them slightly. They just wave back. "Slivko, get ready to leave!"

"Aye aye ma'am." He responds cheekily.

I just shake my head, grinning. "You son of a bitch."

"Let's go! Headsets on boys!" I hear going across the deck.

"You heard him. Put it on boys." I say, putting mine on.

"This is Fox Leader to Fox Group," Packard starts. "It is time, once again, for the Griffin and ant show. As usual, remember, hold onto your butts!" I smile at Packard's words. He always knows what to say.

The helicopters all start to take off at once, flying out over the open water and to the hurricane that awaits us. "Alright boys!" I begin into the headset. "This should be very easy. We fly into the storm and come out the other side. Got it?" I ask, hearing affirmatives come back through. "Good."

"Combat formation. Keep visual. Fox Five, let me know when you close."

"Fox Five is in the slot." I hear Cole say.

"Roger that. Fox team, form up on me. Keep it together!"

Mason snaps a picture of the hurricane in all of its purple and grey glory. I have to admit, it is really pretty. "Let's do this." We keep getting closer and closer, and when we are about to fly in, the winds pick up just a little. Gets a little rough.

"Maintain course." I speak. "This is nothing we haven't done before."

"Dear Billy," Mills starts. "You ever looked into a hurricane and decide... 'Maybe I should fly straight through it?' 'cause that's what's about to happen."

"Dear Billy, you might want to hang on." Cole says.

As soon as we fly into the storm, everything is being jumbled around. Everything is shaking and moving. It's kinda like a roller coaster. Except there is a very real chance that I might die. The alarms start blaring. Everything is going crazy.

Mason is holding on while James just looks completely panicked. It would have been funny if lightening wasn't striking two feet away from us all the freaking time. Packard end up telling us a story about Icarus and his wax wings and talked about how America wasn't a bad father and gave us, and I quote, "white-hot, cold-rolled Pennsylvania steel". We did switch to inertial navigation though so that's great.

All of a sudden, though, everything stops shaking. We can see the sun again. We can see the beautiful island that we have been meaning to get to this whole time. I unbuckle and stand up, moving to Mason's side of the chopper and leaning out of the helicopter, holding on with one hand and leaning as far as I could go.

I only have one word to say.

"Woah."

A/N: Hey guys! I'm really sorry that it has been so long since I posted an actual chapter. I did take out most of Packard's story of Icarus because this chapter was already really dialogue-heavy and I didn't want to make it worse. Also, we are 25 minutes into the movie! Crazy right? Thank you all for almost 500 reads on this crappy story! Enjoy your day!
