The Meg (Jonas x reader)

Bonus Chapter - First Time Meeting (Part 2)

  Jonas team are back on the helicopter, the boats with the civilians are sent off but they are pushing the time limit.

  "That's it, we need to leave." The pilot say, looking at the time on his screens, they've already waited past the countdown.

  "But Jonas and that girl is down there with the kid." D'Angelo says worriedly.

  "They need to find another way, I have orders to get out at the time limit and I've already pushed it too far. Your safety is in my hands." The pilot says and start flying away.

  The boys look toward the ship, worried about their friend.

...

  "Alright, let's get outta here." You tell Arturo.

  You help him stand and lift him toward the vent opening where you came from. Jonas is reaching through and gets a hold of the kids hand, he yanks the kid up and out of the vent. He lets him down on the floor and turn to the vent again.

  He reaches into it again, and you jump, you manage to get a hold of his hand and he holds you tightly, and lift you up and out too. As you land on the floor you go to the boy.

  "You're gonna be okay, sweetie. Hang in there." You reassure the shaking boy.

  Jonas hoist the boy from the floor and looks at you.

  "We need to leave, now!" He tells you.

  You run out of the room, Jonas with the boy on your tail. Once you're out on deck you look around and don't see any helicopter or the boats. Jonas curses under his breath and looks down at his watch.

  "They had to leave to get away in time." He says.

  Looking around, he sees a lifeboat and goes to run for it and you follow him.

  "Come on." He tells you and gestures to the ropes to realise the boat.

  You do and it goes flying out into the ocean before you.

  "We've got to jump." He tells you.

  To his surprise you don't hesitate. You do as he said and run, jumping off the boat. He jumps after you with the boy.

  He reaches the surface again looking at the boy to see if he's okay. Then he looks around for you, just as you come up the surface, with a gasp.

  "Oh, that's cold!" You exclaim.

  "Come on." Jonas ushers you toward the life boat. But while you swim off, you frown at it.

  "There's no way we'll get out of here fast enough in that." You realise.

  "It's all we've got." Jonas tells you.

  "No, it's not." You tell him and stop swimming.

  "What are you doing!?" He asks, but doesn't stop swimming with the boy toward the lifeboat.

  You reach for your pocket underwater and take out a small device. You push a button and it beeps like a car key. You look at the tiny screen, seeing it's close but the other way.

  "Hey, this way!" You wave to Jonas and he stops swimming.

  You swim away from him, thinking he'll follow. He doesn't, so you turn to him you see the confusion.

  "Hey! Trust me." You say.

  That makes him look you dead in the eye. You look so certain and confident, so he does. He decides to trust you, a stranger. He starts swimming after you with the boy, the boys mouth is blue and he's struggling to keep his eyes open.

  "Hey kid, stay with me alright? Stay awake." Jonas tells him. The boy just mumbles something.

  "Hey Arturo, can you sing for me?" You ask the boy. The boy looks at you. "You know baby shark?" You ask and the boy slightly nods. "Good, now go. Baby shark do do do, baby shark do do do.." You start and the boy joins in.

  Jonas can't help but chuckle in disbelief, you turn back to him smiling as you sing and swim. That reaction was not what you expected from him but you liked it.

  As the beeping gets slightly louder you stop. Jonas comes to a stop beside you. Now angry at his decision to trust you since there's nothing in sight.

  "Wait here." You tell him and dive.

  He looks at the spot you just disappeared, dumbfounded. Then look at the boy.

  "Where would we go?" He asks. The boy just shrugs weakly.

  After a more seconds and you don't come back up, he starts to get really worried. Then a huge splash is heard beside them. The boy screams and Jonas tries to shield him from whatever it is, but what he sees stops him.

  He takes the kid and swims toward the small submarine. As he gets closer, the top hatch opens and you get out, ushering them to hurry.

  "Hold on to something." You tell them once back in your pilot seat and take off, getting out of there as fast as the sub can. Just in time to get away from the blast, but still the blast hits you slightly and the sub is pushed forward but since everyone is holding on to something none of you fall or hit anything.

  You turn to the boys from your seat. A wet dripping Jonas is looking around curiously, still holding the shivering wet boy.

  "There's towels and some extra clothes through that door and some blankets in a cabinet in there." You tell them. He looks toward the door before nodding to you, he goes to dry the boy and himself. Once he's done, they come back, Jonas sets Arturo in a seat on the side of the sub, then looks around.

  The sub isn't big, it has that one room and a bathroom and this open space. He looks to you and see you concentrating on the screens and controls in front of you.

  Jonas notice you're still wet and grabs a blanket, he goes to put it around you from behind, you jump and tense, squirming away slightly from the unexpected contact. When you look you see Jonas had stopped his actions and looks at you with a slightly raised brow, but once he sees you're okay he takes the blanket around you. You mumble a 'Thank you'.

  "You need to change into something dry. Can you put it on autopilot or something?" He asks you.

  "No, but I'll be fast, you just watch the screens for me." You tell him and leave to change, tugging the blanket Jonas gave you firmly around you for warmth as you go.

  Jonas look after you dumbfounded again, then back at the screens and consoles, he hasn't driven a submarine before. How do you expect him to know what to do? But you come back fast, changes and still the blanket around you.

  "You cant just-" He starts to scold you, but you interrupt him.

  "Yeah. I was joking, it was on autopilot." You tell him and chuckle at his dumbfounded reaction. He looks at you and then sigh in relief. "Sorry, I just find your expressions and reactions funny."

  "Glad I can entertain you." He says sarcastically.

  You chuckle. He looks at the back of your head with a stern look but find it hard to be mad or even annoyed at you when that sweet sound leave your lips.

  "How long until we reach land?" He asks you. "Can you take us here." He points to the screen that has a map on it, where he recognises the area where their base is.

You tell him the time it will after you put in the coordinates and the computer has calculated the time.

  "Do you have a radio or something?" He asks you and you point toward it.
