The Meg (Jonas x reader)

Chapter 11

  "I prepared the spearheads to inject etorphine. A killer whale is knocked out with 10 cc's. Dead or with 20. What do you think?" Zhang asks Heller as he grabs the bottle from the fridge.

  "I think we use the whole damn bottle."

  The others are preparing the cage.

  "Remind me again why this is a good idea." Jonas tells them.

  "What? The shark cage? Or that Yn is going?" Jax asks.

  "Both."

  "It's a shark cage. And Yn has the most experience, she's worked close with Suyin to know where to aim, and she's a good shot."

  "Plastic shark cage." Jonas states.

  "I'm gonna ignore that you just said that. This beautiful thing is polycarbonate, specifically designed not to crack, not to break, but to deform." Jax tells him. "And in this case, at this thickness, it would take 20,000 pounds per square inch. And if you're talking about breaking, that's eight to nine hundred thousand."

  "I don't like it." Jonas states and walk off. Jax rolls her eyes and looks at Wall and Dj.

  "He doesn't like it." Wall says, shaking his head.

  "I wouldn't get in there." Dj tells her.

...

  You sit by the edge of the boat, strapping the oxygen to yourself while Heller helps Dj lower the cage into the water. Suyin comes over and sits down beside you.

  "Hit it in the eye. But if not, try the mouth, or at a last resort the gills should do." She tells you, you nod in affirmation.

  Jonas had been watching you, when Suyin leave your side he grabs the speargun and goes to sit beside you.

  "What did she say?"

  "She just reminded me of where to aim."

  "They have a lot of faith in you." He tells you. Admiring your friendship with this group.

  "And you don't?"

  His eyes widened. "What!? No, no.. I mean yes i do, i do have faith.. in you." He stumbles with his words and sigh. "It's not that.. Yn, just let me go instead-"

  You interrupt him. "I've done hundreds of shark dives, Jonas. I'll be fine."

  "Not like this."

  "Yes, but Suyin has taught me shark anatomy, so I know where this can penetrate through the Megs skin." You tell him pointing to the gun.

  "Yn.."

  "Hey. Don't worry about me. Let me do what i do best." You say, holding out your hand for him to give you the speargun. He looks into your eyes for a moment before sighing again and giving it to you.

  "I'll always worry about you." He mumbles as he stands up and you jump in the cage.

  You turn around to the others as they close it, saluting them.

...

  You look around to get a visual of the Meg, but there's nothing in sight.

  "Everything okay up there?" You joke about the fact that blood and guts are thrown into the ocean around you.

  "Just a fresh round of chum, so you, you know, taste good." Wall tells you as he pours out more.

  "I'm so glad you're looking out for me."

  You look around you, but nothing comes to view yet. Then suddenly the cage is hit and you let out a surprise gasp.

  "What's happening down there? You okay?" Mac asks through the coms.
