The Bounty Hunter Duo (Male Reader x Samus Aran)

Chapter 3: An Icy Situation

(Y/N)'s POV

While we are waiting to show up at our destination, Samus and I were talking about the adventures we went on, enemies we have faced, and sometimes funny situations we had put ourselves into...well, it was mostly me that said some funny stories. Now that I think about, I have been the one that was telling her stories. She hasn't said much on how she became a bounty hunter or how she met up with the Galactic Federation. I even don't know what she looks like. Maybe she doesn't trust me enough to know her full story, which is understandable considering we just met each other. You would think that because I am a fan of Samus, I would know a lot about her by now. But I only know that she is a badass and has been on so many adventures. So, I hope that Samus and I get to know each other more and even have more trust in each other.

"So, tell me (Y/N)..." Samus begin to say, crossing her legs while still sitting across from me. "You say that your dad was a former bounty hunter. Was he well known or was he your usual mercenary looking for jobs to get paid?" She asks me. I rub the back of my helmet as I think back on it. My dad wasn't much of a known bounty hunter as he was more or less a simple hired help. "Well...my dad has done plenty of work here and there but I wouldn't say he is popular with everyone. But he had assisted big names like the Galactic Federation, which is one of the few reasons why I'm here now." I tell her. Samus tilts her head and slightly nod. "I see... it seems that they took interest in you after learning the fact." She responds. I nod my head and point at my armor. "They were even the ones that made this suit of armor for me." I say. "The Galactic Federation made your suit? I thought this was already made by you, or at least made by someone else." Samus says, confused with what I told her.

I rub the back of my helmet again and shrug my shoulder. "I do have a suit but it's underneath this armor. Think of it as extra piece of clothing to help protect me if the armor malfunctions or something." I say, "As for why the Galactic Federation made this for me...let's say it's because they knew I would be working with you for a while so they made something to compensate with what you already have. So, I'm still getting used to some of the features." I say, holding my hands out and look at them, clenching my fists. Samus chuckles. "Well, for someone that's adjusting to the armor, you did surprisingly well back then." She says softly. Good thing my helmet is on because she would be seeing me blushing. "I-I don't know...not as awesome as you've done in many of your missions." I say.

Wanting to switch over to Samus, I change the subject. "Now that I am thinking about it, I was always wondering about something." I begin to say. Samus tilts her head. "Oh? And what would that be?" She asks, seeming curious about what I want to know. "Well...I've been wondering where you have gotten your suit?" I ask her.

But before I could get a response from Samus, the ship starts speaking in a computerized voice. "You have arrived at your destination." It says. Samus gets up from her seat then move over to the pilot seat. "Seems that we have arrived at Phrygis." She says, ignoring what I asked her. I sigh softly and shake my head. I get up from my spot then move over to where she is, looking out the front window. The first thing I see is a light blue planet before, in a second, we quickly fly our way in. There, I see that the whole planet is covered in nothing but ice. "So uh...have you been here before?" I ask. Samus looks over at me. "You know, you've been asking many questions today..." She says bluntly. I got taken aback by that comment but I simply wave my hands up front. "W-Wait a moment! This one is actually relevant to what we are doing!" I say quickly. Samus looks at me for a moment then looks back. "No, I have not." She presses a few buttons as the ship begins landing close to a large mountain. She then presses another button and the elevator come down from below the ship. "Well, let's get going." She says as she gets up from her pilot's seat. I nod my head then walk over to the elevator with her, standing inside first since it can only take one person at a time. "Be careful scoping the area out there. There is supposed to be a blizzard soon." She tells me. I nod my head. "I won't go anywhere but I will check for any ruins of sort." I say before I bring the elevator down, taking me outside the ship.
