My Protector (Clementine X Male Reader)

Chapter 16: Omid and Christa

Y/N's POV

The trained stopped and all of us got out to see and gas tank in front of us hanging off a bridge.

Kenny: Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! FUCK! FUUUUUUUUUCK!!!

Chuck: Hmm. I dunno; I ain't got much experience with y'all's fortitude but we could probably deal with that. We got a goddamn train.

Kenny: That thing's not full of milk, Charlies. That's gas or diesel; something that's going to explode.

Chuck: YOU gotta get a hold of yourself. This is a crew here.

Kenny: This ain't shit.

Chuck: This-

???: Yo, you keep screaming like that and you're gonna get your face chewed off.

We look up to see the man who was talking. There was also a woman.

Woman: Are you guys going to be trouble? Because we could've just kept walking.

Y/N: No, we're friendly. Put your gun down, Ken.

Woman: That's what everybody says.

Y/N: We know.

Man: You guys got a problem with your train?

Kenny: Yeah, you're standing right in front of it.

Man: Dude, it's a wreak. It's not so bad from up here. Send your buddy to have a look.

Y/N: If I come up there you better not be murderers or thieves

Woman: I guess you'll have to find out.

I then climbs the ladder.

Man: Hey dude, I'm Omid.

Y/N: Y/N.

Woman: Christa. What's the deal with the train?

Y/N: We're driving it.

Omid: OH, MAN.

Y/N: You guys mind if you help us? We need some good people.

Christa: What's in it?

Clem climbs up the ladder.

Omid: Oh shit. Goddamn, you guys have a kid!

Y/N: What are you doing up here?

Man: Do you know how long it's been since I've seen a kid? Shit! What's your name?

Clementine: Clementine.

Y/N: Oh, so he gets to swear?

Omid: Well, this is great. See, things are looking up.

Christa: You're not their dad. They down there?

Y/N: No, he's not down there.

Christa: Hmm. What's your story?

Y/N: I came across Clementine alone the first day all of this happened.

Christa: And everybody down there, they're cool?

Y/N: Kenny lost his whole family an hour ago.

Christa: Oh, that's sad.

Omid: We're sorry for anything that happened to you guys. The train is awesome, though.

Christa: The tank is your real problem. We'll help you with it, but if we see anything we don't like, we're moving on down the road. Alone.

Y/N: We'd appreciate the help.

Omid: You can't just blast through it, I guess.

Christa: If you could get it down, the rest would be easy.

Y/N: We'll start there.

Christa: We'll come down and settle in, and see if we can help.

We then went back down the ladder. We walked back towards the group.

Y/N: Guys, this is Omid and Christa.

Omid: Not big on welcomes.

Y/N: Like I said we could use some good people. The plan is to cut that tanker down and be on our way.

Kenny: Seems like plan enough to me.

Omid: You want to start on that tanker?

Christa: I'll get to know the kid for a minute, if you don't mind.

Kenny: And why don't I show you how this thing works, in case something happens.

Y/N: Really, Ken?

Kenny: It's probably for the best. Someone might want to have a look inside of that station back there, too.

Omid: Sounds great. Let's do this thing.

I walk towards the station. Clem ran over to me.

Clementine: Can I follow you over there?

Y/N: Don't like the new girl?

Clementine: I do. But... We're a team. Like you said.

Y/N: Yeah, all right. Come on.

I look at the group.

Y/N: Clementine and I are checking out this train station, all right? Hustle over If you hear anything.

We then walked to the train station.
