Two Survivors [Lara Croft x Male Reader]

Into The Fire

As Y/N and Lara made their way to the temple where Sam was being held they discussed the recent events.

"You're insane, you know that don't you?" Lara asked as Y/N chuckled.

"What just because I work with my mother running a motel?" Y/N joked as Lara let out a small laugh.

"Please, don't remind me of my fathers party." Lara said as with a smile as Y/N chuckled.

"Yeah, I admit, I preferred it the year before, when me and my dad went as Indiana Jones and his Dad." Y/N said as Lara smiled.

"Your father would be proud of you Y/N. I know mine would be proud of you as well. I am." Lara said as Y/N smiled.

"I'm gonna get you off this Island Lara, even if I have to kill every single person on this island." Y/N said as he looked to her.

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that." Lara stated as she paused for a moment. "Y/N? Why is this Jason person so interested in your name?"

"I don't know. Why?"

"He kept asking me when he had us captured."  Lara said as she and Y/N approached the burning and crumbling temple, it had clearly been attacked by someone or something.

"I've set up a rendezvous point back across the bridge. The chopper's going to be here soon!" Roth said over the radio.

"Lara's still with Y/N looking for Sam and Whitman." Jonah said as Y/N looked to Lara.

"Y/N, Lara, the two of you have to hurry up.

"Thanks, we're thinking about taking our time, maybe fucking in the ancient bedrooms, checking the gift shop on the way out." Y/N remarked over the radio. "Make sure that chopper lands and stays on the ground until we know it's safe to leave."

As Y/N and Lara moved through the collapsing monestary, they found a room filled with photos.

"That's Mathias. No one leaves... That's what I heard in Japanese before the plane crashed. The ritual from Himiko's tomb... Why is Mathias so interested in it?" Lara asked as Y/N looked to her.

"You don't think...?"

"No, there has to be some logical explanation." Lara said as Y/N looked at her.

"Sometimes logic requires a touch of madness." Y/N remarked as he and Lara climbed up to the roof of the building where they encountered mercenaries.

"It's the outsiders, keep them away from the shrine!"

Y/N drew his pistol and shot three mercenaries in the head while Lara drew her pistol and shot another three in the head.

"We should keep moving, they'll have heard that." Y/N said as Lara nodded. They pressed onwards until they reached a the building that the mercs were all rushing towards. As they entered they found none other than Whitman.

"Lara, Y/N, you're alive." Whitman said as Lara looked at him, seeing he was relatively unscathed.

"So are you... I mean, are you okay? What happened?" Lara asked as Y/N looked at Whitman, noting that he was seemingly untouched, his hand moved to rest near his revolver as he looked at Whitman.

"Once they stopped seeing me as a threat, they let me move about almost freely!" Whitman stated as Lara looked to Y/N for a second before looking back at Whitman.

"Did you know the others were captured?" Lara asked.

"Yes, yes... Sam's in there, but I couldn't free her without a weapon. These Solarii are an anthropological marvel, Lara!" Whitman said, sounding positively ecstatic about the Solarii.
