Welcome to Nuketown! (On Hold)

Ties Broken

"You!" Hunter stomped towards Braxton. "The next time you want to kill our boss, give me a fucking heads up!!" Braxton stood with a blank look on his face while the others looked around the corner that they were hidden behind. Bri peered over the redhead's shoulder and you started to slowly back away.

Hunter 's jaw dropped. "Do you not care? Did it honestly not cross your mind that I would be without a job when you did that?" Still, Braxton stood quietly.

"You don't care, do you?! Ever since she ran off to join the fight, you didn't give me a second thought! Before we got our job you were always talking about her! Even when we were in the middle of a super important mission you would look off into space and wonder what she was doing!" Hunter shouted. Something in Braxton snapped.

"You leave her out of this!! Bri has nothing to do with how you treated me!" Everyone winced. There was such anger in Braxton's voice that it immediately changed the feeling in the air from relaxed to gloomy.

"How I treated you? You're bickering about that when you almost got me killed?!" Hunter's hands were curled into light fists. "That was your own fault! I told you that there was incoming fire but you didn't listen to me!!" Braxton's hands had curled into such tight fists that his knuckles were turning white.

"Both of you stop!" Bri jumped in between the men and placed a hand both on Braxton's chest and on Hunter's chest.

"Seriously? You guys are gonna fight over something like this? When Christmas is tomorrow?!" Bri looked back and forth between the two as she spoke. Her gaze finally landed on Braxton and stayed there.

"He's saying that I treated him like shit!" Hunter pushed against Bri's hand to get to the redhead, but Bri started to dig her fingers into his chest. "Ow, fuck!" Hunter backed away from where he originally stood so Bri was no longer able to reach him.

Bri looked at the floor in front of her. "Now, you two can get along, at least for the holidays, and all three of us will sort this out later." Braxton and Hunter reluctantly nodded. Bri smiled a bit. "Good." She grabbed Braxton's shirt and pulled him in for a kiss, then stood beside him.

Hunter pulled up the bottom of his shirt to look at his chest and the marks that were probably on it. "Damn. This stings." He ran his finger over claw marks that were on his skin.

"Well boo hoo, I'm sorry your feelings are hurt, princes." Bri mocked him. "Are you kidding me? This hurts like hell!"

"It's just a little scratch. Don't be a baby Hunter!" Gillian butted in.

Bri smirked as Hunter looked at her. "I've done worse to Braxton." She winked, turned, and walked off to put on her shirt. Braxton turned a slight red as everyone was looking at him.

"Really? She can't be serious." Gillian crossed her arms as she looked at the redhead. "No...I mean...Yes...Maybe." Braxton couldn't find anything to say.

"Give me an answer now or you'll be spending Christmas in a cast!" The blonde woman walked closer to Braxton as she popped her knuckles. "I've been waiting to give someone a broken leg." She popped her neck and glared over at Steel, who shifted in his spot.

Braxton buffed his chest. "You don't scare me Gillian. I know you wouldn't try to hurt me, because that's also hurting Bri." He reached behind him to his back pocket to grab his switch blade.

Everyone was quiet once more. Gillian took slow steps towards Braxton, and he slowly took his switch blade out of his pocket.

Gillian charged at the male, her hands curled into fists. Braxton flipped his blade open and held it in front of him, the blade at the bottom of his hand and pointing to the floor.

When Gillian rammed into him, Braxton's arm held her a bit away from him, but he still had his breath knocked out of him from slamming against the wall that was behind him.

The ginger panted slightly as he shoved Gillian off of him. Gillian growled as she charged again, this time attempting to shove her shoulder into his stomach.

"Gillian, why are you doing this?" You asked her frantically. She answered as Braxton blocked her once again. "Because Bri's my sister! And I'm not okay with her having a baby!!"

"Because you couldn't have one?" Bri's voice was soft as she spoke from the doorway. Everyone turned at once to face the brunette who was now starting to cry.

Bri walked further into the room as Gillian spoke. "B-Bri, I...didn't mean it." Gillian stood straight as tears started to fall down her friend's face. When the blonde tried to step closer, Bri took a step away.

"Why? After all these years, I thought you be happy for me to start a family. But because of your inability to have kids you've turned so sour to the idea of anyone else having what you can't." Sobs came out of Bri's mouth as she tried to take a breath.

"Bri please, I didn't-"

"You didn't what?! Mean that you were completely against me having a kid? Didn't mean to say that aloud?" Hot tears rolled down Bri's face as she yelled.

"But he could've-" Gillian still tried to explain herself, which wouldn't do anything to help her.

"He could've what? Hurt me? Drugged me?" Bri scoffed. "I honestly can't believe you G. All this commotion, over something that didn't even happen."

"But you said that you've made worse marks on Braxton..."

"I was joking! Do you really think that any one of us could support a baby right now? With the conditions we live in?" Bri wasn't crying as much now, but a few tears still raced down her cheeks.

"Braxton could find a way." She mumbled. Braxton and Hunter both slightly nodded in agreement.

"Gillian, I'm the main leader of this group. Yes I do love Braxton and yes I'd like to start a family, but I have to look out for you guys. I was assigned this group and I will do all that I can to protect all members of this group, new or old." Bri paused to wipe the tears from her face.

"But this, I can't just let go of this. That hurt me Gillian, more than I could ever explain." Bri turned and walked off to her room. Braxton glared at Gillian and followed the brunette.
