Jumanji: Call to Adventure (Male Reader Insert)

Footbridges

Veronica was dragged back to her cell by two guards. Her rib cage was sore and her legs felt worse than ever. She had a busted lip and a black eye along with a cut on her forehead. The guards placed her in another set of shackles, this time tightening them and chaining both her feet and wrists. She hung from the wall defeated.

When the guards left the room, Veronica drifted in her own thoughts. She was in immense pain after the torture she just went through. However, there was only one thing on her mind. 

Veronica: Y/N, please be safe....

Ruby: Who's Y/N?

Vile looked back up. She forgot she was not the only one in the cell. Ruby Roundhouse looked at her curiously.

Veronica: Nobody. 

Ruby: Doesn't sound like nobody.

Veronica: Just a friend.

She slouched a bit, letting her body dangle. Ruby looked at her busted state. 

Ruby: Pardon me for asking, but what happened to you to end up here?

Veronica: I had a change of heart. Pissed some people off. Got on the wrong side of some powerful people.

Ruby: I know that feeling. 

Veronica looked at her for a moment.

Veronica: What's your story?

Ruby: Found a guy, fell in love. We made the big brute a little jealous. When I refused to be his bride and insulted him, he locked me up.

Veronica: Did you spit in his coffee or something?

Ruby: More like lit his bed on fire. 

The two women chuckled a bit at that. Vile stopped when it hurt her side to laugh. Roundhouse decided to change the subject.

Ruby: So, what are you going to do when we get out?

Veronica: I don't think that's going to be a possibility.

Ruby: Come on! You need to be more positive to survive here. 

Veronica could only give a slight shrug. She kept her head down low.

Ruby: Me? I'm going to see the world. My fiancé will take me across the globe on grand adventures. New sights, a clear sky. It'll be great. What about you?

After a moment of thinking, Veronica gave her response. 

Veronica: I'm all adventured out. Maybe I'd try that guy thing you were talking about. Find the right man, settle down, take things slowly. Peace and tranquility.

Ruby: And would those plans involve this Y/N guy?

Veronica: What? What are you on about?

Ruby: Y/N. Do you see him as that type of guy to be with or not?

Veronica: What? No. He's just a friend. I mean, he's kind and wonderful. He knows how to make a good joke and can really bring up your spirits. He's optimistic and tells you what you want to here. He's gentle but is tough in his own way. What probably gets me most is his determination. I don't think I've met someone as strong willed as myself...

Ruby grinned at her. She knew what was going on in her head.

Veronica: But he's just a friend. Besides, I'm the one who got him into this mess. I'm not sure he'd be down for being with me. If he knows what's best from him, he'll stay far away from me.
