The Soldier of Fortune (A Valkyrie x Male Reader Short)

The Name On The Stone

Y/N POV

The rain soaked your clothes as you stood in the cemetery. You shadow was cast over a simple tombstone. The grass was bright green in the dark rain. Crouching down you lay a bundle of roses at the  head of the grey stone. Carved into it was Here lays Rose L/N. A mother to be. The wind blew your jackets hood off. "I miss you Rose." You whisper as a tear ran down your cheek. It fell on the soft dirt at your feet. The light rain match your mood as you turned around.

You turn the corner into an ally. A figure following you went in after you. "What do you want?" You ask reaching for the gun hidden in your jacket. "Just wanted to talk." A female voice came from behind you. You turn around and the figure removed her hood. Your old friend Megan stood there. "Why didn't you kill me? You could have easily done it." She asked. You let out a small sigh. "I only kill those who deserve it." You repeat the lines from the building. "Than what did your platoon do?" She asked causally. Your face darkened. "Let me show you. But you can't tell anyone. Okay?" You said seriously. She nodded in agreement.

The two of you stood over the grave of your wife. "They did this." You said quietly as she just stared at the name. "Why haven't you told anyone?" She asked without looking up. "They framed me for the murder of my own wife." You said coldly. "That is why I killed them." She looked up from the gravestone. "But why haven't you told anyone?" She asked. "Nobody would believe me. The government turned against me. I went my own way." You said looking down. "You can't tell anyone. OK?" You tell her. She nodded. "Well do you want some tea?" You ask her. "Sure."She responded.

She looked confused as you walk up to the front door of a simple two-story home. "What were you expecting?" You ask with a small chuckle as you open the door. Inside was just as normal. A vase was sitting on the table with some fake roses. She sat down as you pull out a kettle and heat up some water. A few minutes later you return with two mugs and a pot of warm tea. You poor her a cup and set it in front of her. Than you poor your own cup and take a seat. "I would like for you to come with me." She said softly holding her mug. You choke on the hot tea. "You could join Rainbow." she added. You ponder this for a moment. "I'll do it on one condition. We take my chopper." You said sipping your tea. "Deal." She said excitedly. You stand up to grab your gear. 

A few minutes later your return. Bag slung over your shoulder along with a sniper rifle. An AR-14 was strapped to your lower back. Under it was a combat knife. Strapped to your leg was an american m-9. "You ready?" You ask Megan. She just nodded again. 

Pulling up to a hanger you step out and grab your bag from the trunk. A Black-hawk combat chopper was in front of you. You help Valkyrie on and power up the blades. "Hereford." She said taking a seat. "OK." You respond pulling up on the joystick. 

Time Skip brought to you by a chibi Y/N drinking tea.

"You a approaching a military airspace. Turn around now." You retch for your mic and remember it got busted on your last job. This will be fun you think to yourself as a F-14 pulled up next to you. Carefully you start to lower the throttle. "Buckle up. This is going to get rough." You said waking up Megan. She pulled the straps over her chest and nodded. You pull the aircraft in a sharp left. You pull it back into place before you hit the ground. Now at full speed you race towards Hereford base. 

A you approach the landing pad a armed guard runs out. They point their weapons at the doors. "This will be fun." You said grabbing your pack and open the door. Everyone is surprised to see a mercenary step out. You walk proudly past them as Megan stepped out behind you. This made them even more confused. They continue to point there guns at you as you walked past them. A woman stepped out of the building. She wore a white suit. "I've been expecting you. Come with me." She said turning around. Now everyone was even more confused. "Six, whats going on?" One of the troops asked. "I think you know." You respond stepping in the building. 

After a brief meeting with Six, she called all operators to meet the new member. "Blackbeard's going to so pissed." You said to yourself as the team filled in. "I'd like to introduce you to our newest member, and please don't piss him off." She said as you walked in. Everyone but Megan was surprised. "You can't be serious." Blackbeard said shocked. You ignored him and the other comments flying around the room. Megan turned to Blackbeard but you gave a small shake of the head. She turned back to center of the room. "He does need a room thou."Six started. "He can stay with me." Megan volunteer. The room went dead silent. You remove your mask. "Thank you Megan." You said with a smile. At least you had one friend here. 

She lead you out of the room and brought down a hall. She opened up the door to a clean, neat room. "Come in." She said holding open the door. You place your rifle and AR-14 in the corner. Than you follow her in to the bedroom. Two beds lay on the far side of the room. She sits on one of the beds with a little bounce. Placing your bag next to the opposite bed you take a seat. "I'm sorry that they said those things back there." She said guiltily. "Its not your fault. Besides, I can do more good here." You respond trying to comfort her. "I'm going to take a shower if that's OK." You tell her standing up.
