Twisters (Male Kate x reader)

Back to Oklahoma

Arriving in Oklahoma, Kade reunites with Javi and meets the Storm Par team. The team members are men with PhDs from NASA, FEMA, NOAA, NWS. Javi introduces them to Kade. Among them Javi's business partner Scott, who seems to doubt Kade's abilities.

"It's gonna be the wildest tornado week you've ever seen, fellas!" Javi says, feeling confident and excited about this, especially now with Kade on his team.

"Yeah, and everybody with a 10$ weather app knows it." Scott says looking at the crowd. "We gotta to stay ahead of this circus."

A big crowd of people has gathered at the location, all storm chasers here for the tornado outbreak. People are getting ready, gearing up their vehicles and chatting. Music is playing in the background.

Hearing horns blare, their attention turn toward a few incoming trucks and an caravan comes driving up to the crowd. 'Ain't no Love in Oklahoma' is blaring loudly from their speakers. The crowd cheers excitedly as you arrive with your team.

You drive past the Storm Par vehicles, acknowledging their presence with a taunting smirk. Glancing over the rival team, your eyes linger on a new face among them. Kade's eyes lock on you sitting behind the wheel, smirking at him. He's standing with his arms crossed as he watches the scene.

"Who's that?" Kade asks Javi, not moving his eyes from you.

"Chasers outta Arkansas." Javi tells him.

"Hillbillies with a YouTube channel." Scott says.

Boone in your passenger seat pulls his head out of the window with his camera. "Hey, Storm Par! You're live on YouTube. Say something."

"Blow me, Boone." One of the team members says as he glares at him.

"Don't engage." Scott tells his team.

"Hey, smile, man! Science is fun, right?" Boone says and cheers as you drive past them.

You're a famous YouTube star, who goes live during your storm-chasing adventures with your team called the 'Tornado Wranglers'. The team members are: Boone, a hyper videographer. Dani, the mechanic. Dexter, a scientist and humanitarian. Lilly, the drone operator. And for the time being it now also includes Ben, a journalist writing a piece on American storm chasing.

After parking your truck, you open the door and step on the side of it. You take your cowboy hat on, looking at the crowd from a higher level. Smiling with your slightly cocky but charming expression you greet the people. Fans excitedly running to greet your team.

Boone goes around the car to your side with the camera on you. "Hey, Yn, tell the folks how you're feeling."

"It's a beautiful day, Boone. I'm feeling pretty good." You tell him and then turn to the crowd again. "And if you feel it.."

"You chase it!" The crowd shouts in unison.

You turn and look at the new guy on the Storm Par team again, giving him your famous flirty smile, taking off your glasses.

"That's Yn Owens. Her and her friends call themselves tornado wranglers."

Kade frowns. "What does that even mean?"

Dani jumps out the RV, holding up a t-shirt. "Hey, you tornado nerds, who wants a T-Shirt?"

"Just means our work is going to shit." Javi says.

Kade looks at your team selling merchandise to the crowd, then his eyes land on you again. You wink before turning to your team.

"Alright, let's get ahead of this bunch." Javi says, taking the tablet, then hold it out to Kade. "Which storm should we chase, Kade?"

"There's a nice looking cell over to the east." Scott says, pointing to the tablet.

Kade clears his throat and walk away, but the team follows. Turning to them, he looks at Javi. "It's, uh.. It's been a while. I'll just watch on this one."

"No. It's alright. You got this, Kade. That's why you're here." Javi then sees him glancing at the team. He turns to them. "Alright, guys. Let's go. Everybody gets their last bathroom break in."

Kade walks away to think. While you're signing autographs, you notice the new guy walking away and looking at the sky. You watch him as you make your way to him. He picks up a dandelion and let the seeds fly away with the wind.

"You know, I used to do that too." You say and he gets startled by your sudden appearance. You step up beside him. "Compare the wind direction to cloud movement. Gets you a feel for the shear. Yep. Sometimes the old ways are better than the new. So, where are you coming in from?"

He just glances at you and keeps gazing at the sky. "New York."

"Oh, you're a long way from home, city boy. So, you like working for Storm Par?"

Ben comes running up to you. "Yn, do we know which storm we're going after yet?"

"Why don't we ask.." You gesture to the new guy.

"Kade."

"Hi, Kade." You smile at him. "I'm Yn."

"Uh, and I'm Ben." Ben offers his hand, which Kade shakes. "I'm a reporter. Doing a piece on American storm chasing. Yn's letting me ride along."

"And Ben just had to promise to write nothing but good stuff about me."

"Good luck with that." Kade says and move to walk back.

"Hang on." You say and he turns back to you, holding his tablet to his chest. Cute, you think. "You didn't say which way we were going yet. Now, from my gather, west, we double our chances. East, well, it's high risk, high reward."

Kade shrugs. "Then go for the reward. Don't want Ben to think you're boring."

You chuckle. "Now, boring is not usually a problem for me, Kade."

He nods and point to the west. "Two cells to the west are fighting over the same inflow. They'll choke each other out. This one to the east, has the sky all to herself. Moisture, wind shear, instability. All the things you need to give Ben a good show." He says and turn back.

"Well, city boy knows his stuff, Ben." You say but Kade is just walking away. "I said city boy knows his stuff, Ben." You repeat louder.

Kade turns around with a forced smile. "Thanks. Maybe if I work real hard, I could be a tornado wrangler too."

You just smile at his back as you watch him walk away. Kade walks back to Storm Par.

"Talk to us." Javi says as he reaches them.

He gives him the tablet. "We want the cells to the west."

"Uh, the one to the left east has much better numbers." Scott says.

"Conditions don't feel right. Cap is too strong. It'll never break."

Javi gives Scott the tablet. "You heard him. Let's move."

"Fine. I guess we're listening to the dandelions now." Scott mumbles before getting in the car.

You watch as the Storm Par vehicles drives off. Seeing what way they're heading, you scoff slightly with an impressed smile.

"I thought he told us east. Isn't he going the wrong way?" Ben asks you.

You put on your sunglasses and head for your truck. "Nope."
