The Warp Falcon

Chapter 4: First Blood

3rd POV

Y/n was about to leave the apartment when he noticed Maine was about to punch David. He activated the Warp Falcon Sandevistan, the world became a blue hue and he was leaving afterimages. He tackled David out of the punch's range although David got knocked unconscious due to his head hitting the wall.

"What the hell was that for uncle Maine?! You almost hurt my choom!" Y/n exclaimed.

"That runt has my Sandy chipped in" Maine explained

"And it will cost us eddies to get it removed." Pilar said.

"Ugh, that spiky-haired shit is a pain in my ass."

David woke up from his concussion and looked around. Maine grabbed him by the leg and raised him up.

"What are you doing parading in my chrome?"

"What do you mean yours?"

"I bought it off my supplier but she ghosted me once I put it down"

"That's what you get for paying in advance." Dorio said

"Shut it, she's just like us looking for fast cash. She's been good up till now." Maine glared at the other Edgerunners.

"Your supplier, you mean-"

"Gloria Martinez, ring a bell?"

"Aww, god fucking dammit..." Y/n grumbled

"Yeah, she's my mom."

"You're Gloria's Brat. What did she think when she handed it to you?"

"She didn't. She was put in a coma after a car accident. Some gang-war or something."

Maine dropped him to the ground as he sat down on the couch. He looked at David seriously.

"That's why she didn't buzz back." Dorio said

"Condolences kid, but don't think that we'll make it easy for you." Maine said.

"I didn't know it was yours." David tried to explain.

"Yeah, I remember the times I chipped myself with the mil-spec chrome my ma' left me."

"Can't help you there, choom." Y/n furled his eyebrows.

"So you guys... Are cyberpunks aren't you?"

"What's it to ya?" Maine pushed his glasses down.

"I'll pay you, no matter how long it takes."

"No deal, that shit's military-grade. You can't buy one off a shelf."

"I'll fire up the Sandevistan."

"You can't fire it up 2 times without flatlining." Maine said not believing David.

"Pfft-haha, that guy has a lot of surprises." Y/n said

David grabbed Pilarr's cigarette and put it back in a span of two Sandevistan uses. Every Edgerunner was surprised that he didn't go zero.

"Take me on a job. I won't fuck it up." David Promised.

Both of them focused on each other's eyes.

"Got quite a pair on ya, I'll give ya that. Okay, kid. You get one chance."

"Trust me Unc, he won't fuck up. That dude is a loyal choom."

Maine snapped his finger, Lucy nodded before slotting a tracer on David.

"The fuck is that for?" David exclaimed.

"Wouldn't want you to go AWOL on us." Maine replied.e
