Cayde-6: a new avenger

Chapter 4: Sharing

Song: Radio by Lana Del Rey

I put my feet up on the edge of the armchair and settle in taking a bite of my pizza.

"Mm this is so good." I mumble to myself more than anyone else.

Sam chuckles slightly before asking "A fan of pizza huh Cayde."

"Um I'm partial to ramen personally but pizza is a close second."

Steve cuts through the light easy atmosphere to ask "So Cayde we don't actually know that much about you, care to share?"

Facing Steve and looking up from my food I respond "No i suppose you don't, what do you wanna know?"

Bucky's stern tone flattens the light mood, "How about you tell us about your lightning powers?" A challenge in his eyes as he looks at me testing the knowledge he no doubt overheard earlier.

"It's called Arc actually and..." I hesitate, conflicted about sharing how classes work to these people I barely know, I glance over to Cassini who gives me a reassuring nod. Sighing i relax again and get comfy to explain this.

"Well, where I'm from we have Classes, 3 in fact, Titans, Warlocks and Hunters."

I look around at the people here to see their easy curiosity and genuine interest so I continue.

"Titans, they're strong, brave, they lead the charge as Zavala once said and they stand with a fierceness to protect the last city that the rest of us will never understand."

Nat cocks her head to the side as she asks "Whos Zavala?" The concept of a lack of recognition at that name is entirely foreign to me so I pause for a second before explaining.

"Zavala is the Titan Vanguard, say he's like the head of that Class." Everyone nods along understanding so I continue.

"Warlocks are courageous and incredibly wise, they believe knowledge is power and hey maybe they're right, you'd be foolish to underestimate them and pass them off as just some book smart wizards as they are incredibly powerful, like Ikora for example, a legendary Warlock and one of the strongest light bearers to ever exist, as well as being the Warlock Vanguard."

"Finally, Hunters, the best class."

Tony chips in after that statement "I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you're a Hunter?"

I nod my head not even denying it, "Makes sense." He mutters.

"ANYWAY, Hunters. To me being a hunter is all about where you belong, Titans have their walls and Warlocks have their libraries, but us hunters belong out there in the wild. Most of us are lone wolves though we have learned the value of a fireteam every now and again. We're loyal and deadly and we're not to be messed with. We're also for sure the coolest class by FAR."

"So then if Zavala is the Titan Vanguard and Ikora is the Warlock Vanguard, then who's the Hunter Vanguard?" Peter asks me curiously.

"I am." I simply say.

A/N: hey everyone just for the record I've decided Cayde is going to have male love interests in this story, if that's not your thing its chill but I'll most likely be writing another Destiny or Marvel story at some point so you can go check out those on my profile if they're out but otherwise if this sounds like your cup of tea, enjoy reading ❤️
