The Meg (Jonas x reader)

Chapter 12

  You wake up later, confused and slightly disoriented. Opening your eyes to find someone else's already on you. Jonas sigh in relief. You try to sit up, ignoring Jonas' try to stop you.

  "Take it easy. You were dead a minute ago." Heller tells you, you look at him with wide eyes.

  Mac is standing in the doorway. You look back at Jonas beside you.

  "You got me out." You state.

  "It was closer than I would've liked." He tells you, bothered by the close call.

  "Let's give them a moment." Mac tells Heller, who nods in return and goes to leave with him.

  "You saved me. Again."

  "I prefer you alive." He says, smiling.

  "My hero." You whisper, looking into his eyes. (Check out Bonus Chapters.)

  "Oh! Yn, you're awake. Have you shown her Jonas?" Morris says as he notices you as he walked past, totally oblivious to the moment you two were having. Jonas gives Morris a death glare but he's too exited to notice it.

  Sighing, Jonas looks back at you.

  "There's something you might want to see." He tells her unenthusiastically.

  You give him a tired smile and nod, then Jonas helps you stand up. When you managed to get your balance and stand on your own, you slowly start to take a step, when you don't loose balance you follow Morris out to the deck.

  As you get out, Mac takes notice and frown at the fact that you came back out so soon after them. When he notices Morris excitedly point to the Meg for you, he realises he had interrupted your moment. He gives Morris a glare without anyone noticing.

  "Wow." You whisper as you see the shark hanging off the crane.

  "Hey!" Wall notices you coming toward the Meg. "Look who's up."

  "Hey."

  "How are ya?"

  "I'm better. Thanks." You tell him as Jonas helps you get your jacket on.

  "Jonas, get a picture of me with this big smelly beast." He tells him, throwing his phone to him. Jonas laughs, catching the phone.

  "Okay. Wait. Here." Wall gets close to it's mouth.

  "Hey, you want to get a proper picture, get your head inside." Jonas tells him. He gets a little closer to the mouth. "Closer."

  "Closer?" He asks laughing.

  "Come on. Get in." Jonas encourage him.

  "Okay." Wall takes his head into its mouth, gagging at the smell before pretending to kiss the shark for the camera.

  As he does so the crane loosens the line a bit and the dead shark moves. Wall screams and falls into the water.

  "Nice one." You say, laughing at Dj's prank.

  "Yo, Jonas, please tell me you got that." Dj exclaims laughing.

  "I got that, Dj." He shouts in answer. The others laugh and clap.

  "That's not funny, man." Wall shouts from the water.

  "No. Like seriously, it's funny. Look, watch this." And Dj lets out a guffaw laugh, throwing his head back. Which earns a little laugh from Wall too. Dj starts singing about him and dancing.

  "Hey, Yn. Look at him next to the Meg." Jonas shows you the picture. "Look, remember the bite marks on the O-level?" He asks and you look at him and back to the picture trying to remember.

  "Well, how do you like that?" Morris asks Zhang. "That was a serious man vs nature moment. I'm just glad things went our way." He says and the older man looks at him.

  "It didn't go our way." He tells him. "Not for Toshi. And not for science. We did what people always do. Discover and then destroy."

  Morris just rolls his eyes and goes away with an Ugh.

  "Hey, I will end you." Wall threatens Dj.

  "At least you can use this as your dating app pic." Dj tells him.

  "Give you a little leg, you know." Wall jokes pulling his leg up over the surface.

  "Oh, yeah!" Dj cheers. "Jellyfish."

  "Whoo-hoo!" They shout and laugh.

  Then out of nowhere another Meg swallows Wall as it gapes to bite the other Meg hanging on the boat. It bites down on it and the boat turn over from it's weight.

  Jonas has instinctively taken a hold on you, and jumped with you away from the shark. Jax and Suyin are thrown over board at one side, Dj grabs the crane, but falls off. The others are trying to grab onto anything. Jonas made you grab the railing with him, but as the boat tips you have to let go to not get sucked under with the boat.

  As you finally reach the surface again you hear Dj's exclamation.

  "Two! There's two!?" He yells. "Nobody said there were two! How are there two?"

  You look around for Jonas, but can't find him right away. "Jonas!" You shout desperately.

  "I'm here." He says coming swimming to you from behind. You turn to see him, grabbing a hold of him, hugging him close in relief.

  He ushers you to swim to the now turned upside down boat. You do as he tells you and he swims toward an unconscious body floating a few feet away from them.

  "Help me! Get me out of this water! Help. Somebody help, please." Dj exclaims, frantically splashing around in the water. Morris looks at him after he gets himself up on the boat.

  "What's wrong with you?" He asks him.

  "I can't swim." Dj tells him.

  "No! Get outta here! Really?" He asks confused.

  "Don't pull that racist stuff on me." Dj says as he tries to swim toward him.

  "Come on, man. Give me a break. I'm not being racist." Morris says as he pulls Dj up on the boat. "You work, literally, on the middle of the ocean."

  "This wasn't part of the job description. None of this was part of the job description!" Dj yells at him. "They left that part out!"
