Treacherous // Podrick Payne

10. Impressed

Bran and Rickon woke up screaming, their father was dead, they saw it, they saw him lose his head, they saw Joffrey give the command. War was upon them and things were only going to get worse, Bran could tell.

After the news of Ned Starks death everyone else was absolutely miserable. Robb sobbed at the death of his father then he got angry needing to hit someone, to kill every last Lannister. He swung his sword mercilessly at a tree trunk, tears flowing down his face. Catelyn heard his grunts and sobs as he smashed away.

'Robb... Robb..' Catelyn called he was smashing mercilessly at a tree trunk tears in his eyes when he looked up to her. 'you have ruined your sword my love.' he dropped it at his feet before collapsing into her.

'I'll kill them all.' he said sobbing into Catelyn 'every one of them I'll kill them all.' she held him close

'They have your sisters we have to get the girls back and then we will kill them all.' Catelyn agreed.

"I am very impressed with you my lady." Tywin remarked as Storm poured herself another drink.

"Most are." Storm agreed. "But the war isn't over.... you think you can get us home yet?" Storm questioned taking a roll from Fives plate.

"I'm off." Five told her.

"What good are you then?" Storm countered and Five chuckled.

"I have other talents." Five assured.

"None that help me."

"I don't know about that... you seem stressed, I could help with that." Five offered waggling his eyebrows.

"I like my men a bit older and less cocky then you.' Storm reminded him.

"You don't like cocks?" Five mused. "Shame."

"Hardy, har, har." Storm said sarcastically.

"I would love it if you stayed on my service." Tywin remarked.

"Seems I don't have anywhere else to be." Storm agreed. 'But five you have to start pulling your weight around here."

"I'm a child." Five mused. "I should still be sucking on tits in this realm." Five corrected.

"This place is strange." Storm remarked. "You think Allison is here somewhere too?"

"I hope they all are." Five admitted. "But I don't know."

"Why did I get stuck with you?" Storm countered.

"You mean why did you get the great opportunity to be with me for this new adventure?" Five retorted and Storm chuckled.

"Sure." She agreed filling her glass.

"No clue, time travel is tricky business. I'm honestly surprised it worked at all."

'It is clear if we join forces with Renly Baratheon then he will help us get justice.'

'But Renly is not the king.' Robb remarked

'You cannot bend the knee to Joffrey my Lord he put your father to death!'

'That does not make Renly King, he is Robert's youngest brother.' Robb told them 'if Brandon can't be Lord of Winterfell before me Renly cannot become king before Stannis.'

'Do you mean to tell me that you stand with Stannis?'

'Renly is not right!' Theon looked around the outraged men before stepping forward a united front with Robb. They started bickering amongst themselves agreeing and disagreeing who would be a better king who should they follow who would win?
