Break the ice (Mighty ducks x reader)

11. New job...oh no!

The nightmares kept coming, unable to escape these feelings of being trapped. During my sleep, I didn't notice how I toss and turned, dropping from Nosedive's bed, down onto Wild wing. The goalie was also fast asleep, not feeling the impact on his chest. I blushed really hard, hoping to get off quietly, but his arm had another idea. He turned to the side pulling me along, now I became his little soft toy that he began to cuddle. With both arms around me, it was impossible to escape now.

And the next morning was horrible.

Wild wing didn't seem to be angry, neither is he pleased with this. He didn't say anything about it at first, at the meantime; I went into the kitchen to get breakfast. And boy, what a breakfast that was. The ducks were all present and the kitchen table looked like a giant buffet. I had to control myself not to drool at the sight. What surprised me the most, was the warm good morning sound of the entire team. Even Mallory offered me a seat beside her; Wild wing took the one next to me. The feeling of being the maid for everything was gone, it felt like a happy family, talking and having fun. Even Nosedive didn't seem to be angry with me anymore, offering me the butter I was seeking for. Overwhelmed at this, I began to cry. The happy tune at the table took another turn.

Nosedive looked confused at the others, "Was this the wrong butter?"

"No baby brother, she is just surprised that we can be nice too."

I wiped my tears away, speaking with a shaky voice, "Why are you all nice to me?"

Their sudden laughter didn't help. Duke cleared it up for me, "We didn't meant to be so mean to you, but we didn't want to be soft either. You need to understand that this is the punishment we decided to give you. It wasn't the jobs, it was the way we treated you." Dive stroked my hair from behind, "And don't worry about the comics, I just ordered the whole bunch again." He rubbed my shoulder, as I demanded o pay him back, "No need angel, we are loaded with cash. Just help me out at the house chores, deal?"

"Deal!"

Wild wing had to add something to the demand, "But keep a good eye on her, she seems to be the clumsy type." His little brother pressed his fist against his chest, "You can count on me bro!"

The only one that wasn't pleased with this swarm welcome of mine was Phil. His insurance was putting him under pressure, but he didn't tell his team or me. Instead, he acts all mean and rude towards me. Despite that the ducks paid everything I cased, the manager was far from satisfied. He wanted to make sure that no one will dare to do this again. And he did this in the most humiliating way, publishing it in the local papers. I almost choked on my bagel, as the papers were placed before Wild wing. Tanya, who brought it in, was out of her mind, "She might be a troublemaker, but this is going too far. What is Phil thinking?"

"I don't know Tanya, but I am going to stop this. Keep her busy while I am gone."

"Sure do bro!"

With the mask on, it was hard to tell how wing is feeling just now, but his voice made it pretty clear. He was annoyed with the manager. Duke had also walked behind me, wrapping his arm around my neck, hugging me lightly, "Don't be upset, our manager just loves money more than his own life. It is nothing personal." Grin, who hardly spoke up, just had to ask at how they are supposed to train if their team and goalie is not present. Their beaks went all into my direction, smiling wide. I shook my head violently, "No, no, no...anything but that!"

"Do you have a choice?" asked Mallory amused.

"Nope, you don't" answered Nosedive for me, carrying my body bridal style towards the changing room. From being nice to being vicious, they really had it all planned out. Thankfully Mallory help me with getting dressed. On the ice, I had no experience on how it felt to be on it with blades. With wobbly legs, I moved forward to the goal. The ducks were all there already, with their sticks and several pucks. "Come one N/A, we have to train!" shouted Tanya. I wanted to protest against it, finding it mean to place someone inexperienced inside the goal. But the fact that I owe them, make me close my mouth.

Wild wing and Phil are nearby, sitting in the office of the manager.

The team captain was normally calm and collected with his choice of words and actions, but Phil was capable to make him lose control. It didn't take long, till the manager was dangling in the ground, with wing holding him by his shirt, "She has it hard enough already, was this really necessary to get more money out of this?!" "She deserved it; she caused a lot of tr..."

"She is already paying her fee, what else do you expect from her?!"

"She needs to work harder than just taking a few jobs from you."

Wild wing sighted frustrated, "Remember what we are dealing here Phil. She is not one of the reptiles we are chasing; she is just a young woman that made a mistake. If you can't be nice to her, then stay as far away from the girl, Understood?!"

Phil had never seen him being this angry before, nodding quick.

From the distance, the two heard how pucks slammed into the walls. Looking form the window, wing notice me in the goalies outfit, fighting badly to defend the goal. For a beginner, I was giving my best, making Wild wing smile. Phil watched it as well, while his eyes sparkled, "That girl is quite something."

Wild wing had to agree, "Yeah, clumsy at anything else, but seems to hold a talent for hockey inside. She might be useful after all."
