A Family (Oc x reader)

Reunion

  After working enough for fuel and food to keep travelling, you left the city. Now you're heading back to where you hid the vehicles when they went empty for gas. You payed to hitchhike on a train that someone has gotten working and use to make a living by going back and forth a great distance, working as a public transport between three cities in different countries.

  You'll have to get off the train at some point because they're not stopping anywhere you need to get off. Ethan and Jason has a plan to get back to your vehicles faster and safer. You're going to jump off when reaching the bridge over a giant river. It will let you float fast to where you can get to where you left your vehicles. It lets you save energy from walking and it's slightly safer than strolling through that area.

  But now the train has stopped by one of the cities. For their safety and to not risked getting overrun, it doesn't stay long on the stops, and they don't have a scheduled timeline when they reach anywhere. People just have to be ready and take the rare chance when they can, or wait until whenever next time they show up. It's also to not risk anyone just forcing others off the train to get a free ride.

  All the spots on the train are filled. But in this city there are some people that are paying slightly more than you to take the train. And anyone wanting as much value as possible, the crew then give them the cart you had been in. You and Jason argue for them to let you stay and after a lot of arguing they eventually agree that your group can stay somewhere outside on the train if you still pay the amount you had promised. You're pissed, but agree.

  Ethan had left the train alone on a quick run to the market in the city, in hope to find some food. It has been bad for a while, the city you came from was awfully poor and on the travel from there to here you have gone empty of rations even though you made the energy bars you were given last as long as it could. Being the youngest and most dependent on it, Parker is starving. All of you are hungry, but Parker is getting sick and is very thin.

  You had been against the decision, too worried he wouldn't make it back in time. And you hadn't been to this city before so you had no idea how bad it might be. But he said he had to take the chance. You're waiting on the train with the others, extremely worried about him. In your head you're preparing yourself for that you might have to jump off the train with your kids before it leaves the edge of the city, there's no way you leave Ethan. If he doesn't get on the train, you prepare yourself to grab your kids and jump off before it reaches the end of the city.

...

  The B-boys has successfully eliminated their target and are heading back. The man still hasn't been found dead yet, so no chaos has erupted and no one saw who and how they did it. But they still wore cloth covering most of their head and face. It wasn't unusual around here, because of the dust storms.

  Sully suddenly stops mid walk and Charles was just glancing his direction when he noticed.

  "Blue? What's up?"

  "Uh.. I don't know. I just, I thought I saw someone familiar, but I'm not sure who." Blue says as he tries to look through the crowd in the busy area. "That guy. Black hood, red bandana."

  They look in the direction he points, seeing a man walking among the crowd in the distance, with a black hood hanging low over his head and a bandana covering his nose and mouth. He didn't look very out of the ordinary here but they couldn't get a good look at him. He has a bag over his shoulder and seemed to glance over all the booths as he passed them, looking for something.

  "I don't know why, I just have gut feeling, Bullet. Of what, I don't know." He shrugs, looking at Ryan.

"What do you say?" Bandit asks Bullet.

  They look at their team leader and he decides they'll stay to observe him. They all get in different positions and just casually blend into the crowd. The man moves his head slightly to see someone looking in his direction but they look away like they aren't watching him.

  Ethan pulls his cloth further up and starts walking. Getting oriented of how many is following him, he makes a plan. He gets close to one of them in particular. He intentionally trips into him toward an alley way and before Bolt can react by just catching himself or protect himself, the man has him in a knife hold from behind. Soon surrounded like he suspected, their guns aimed at him.

  "What do you want?" He asks them.

  Bolt's eyes widen and try to move his head slightly. "Boss?"

  Ethan's is taken aback. He turns him around, still holding him and pulls down his mask, revealing it to be Colin. They look at each other in disbelief.

  "Bolt?" Ethan pulls him into a tight hug.

  When he pulls away, he cautiously glance around at the others walking closer in a group around him. When the next pulls down his mask, Ethan freeze at the sight.

  "Dad?"
