After the World Has Fallen~ John Egan x Reader

New Recruits

Authors note: Sorry that almost all the chapters have a party at the bar, but I do enjoy writing them, so, just let me know if it's too much. There will be a change in scenarios and background later in the story. Also, thank you for all the support on my book! I really do appreciate it especially when I know you guys are enjoying this story. Like always, don't be afraid to leave and chapter suggestions or writing tips.

Y/N, Bucky and Buck were all hanging out at Glenn Dye's 25th mission party. Live music, a bar, women, and men in uniform celebrating the near impossible victory of the bomber pilots. Y/N, dressed in one of her favourite dresses, enjoying the time she's able to be out of her uncomfortable and itchy uniform. (Choose you own dress) She was sipping on a small glass of whiskey, listening in on the conversation of her closest friends. She looks around the room, watching the others having a blast. Her eyes eventually land on an unfamiliar group of boys. Four to be exact. Must be the new crew that was brought in yesterday, she thought to herself before interrupting the best friend's banter.

"Looks like the new guys decided to join the party", she says motioning to the group of boys with her glass in hand.

They both look over, taking in the sight of their happy faces, clearly undamaged from seeing the horrors of the war. Immature, one could describe them as.

"I guess it's only polite to go introduce ourselves", Bucky says, throwing back his drink and placing the glass back on the bar.

"Don't embarrass them this time", Y/N scolds remembering the times where the boys have frightened new recruits from missions that they haven't yet been assigned to.

"When have I ever?", he whines looking down at the dressed-up girl beside him.

"Don't ask a question you already know the answer to", Buck backs her up to which she smiles in victory.

Bucky puts an arm behind his back and puts his other hand out in front of him, "M'lady."

She takes his hand and smiles, "Major."

The three of them walk over to the group of men, though the clicking of Y/N's heels caught their attention first, presumable assuming a girl was coming up to them to ask for a dance as they all stopped talking and averted their gaze in her direction.

"Fellas", Bucky greets, a wide smile on his face.

"Gentlemen", Buck greets right after.

"Major Egan", one of them say back.

"Major Cleven", another follows.

"Rosenthal, Nash", Bucky points to two of them.

"That's right", Nash replies.

"Copilots, uh, Spatz, and Lewis?", Buck tries.

"Speas, sir", Nash corrects him.

"Speas", Buck repeats ensuring he gets it right next time.

"Lewis, sir. But people call me Pappy", he chuckles.

"You boys, you were pilots before the war?", Bucky asks.

"Lawyer, sir", Rosenthal answers.
