Welcome To the Team-Female Fox McCloud x Male Reader

7)Solo (Y/N)

      "And that's Peppy says, 'Ace pilot, my ass! Ye almost hit me!'" Falco says laughing. I respond with a laugh of my own. Falco has been telling me stories of his many battles and missions. After Falco rescued me, we have become much closer. Note: All it takes to make friends is some crazy lady kidnapping you. "Anyway," Falco says still chuckling, "I forgot to ask, what did wolf want with you anyway?"

      When Wolf kidnapped me that had to be the worst place I've ever been. That room was dark and dank. It strongly smelled of alcohol, so much so that when the rest of the crew parties I feel super sick. Not to mention Wolf was telling me the horrible torturous ways she would kill my teammates, after using me for ransom. Plucking Falco's feathers was just one and the least horrible. "She just wanted me for ransom, that's all," I said lying through my teeth, "Nothing you should worry your pretty little feathers about."

      Falco pats me on the back, chuckling. I stand up, wave goodbye and leave Falco's room. I walk to the rec-room where I see Slippy and Peppy playing cards... and drinking. I hold down my feeling to barf and move over to the couch in the room. I pull out my phone and scroll through my messages. One catches my attention, an unknown number. 'Hello member of Starfox. I've got a job. I work for the Cornerian army and there is a criminal we don't have the resources to take out. He's taken my family, please get rid of SKULKER. And keep this low-key.' 

      I decide to respond with, 'Hello, I will do the job. If it helps, I'm sorry about your family.' I move out of the room, this trying to make sure none of them notice me. In my room I open my closet grabbing out my (f/c) jump suit and coat. Moving to the launch bay, I start climbing into my arwing when someone speaks up.

      "Going somewhere?" My captain asks suspiciously. Of course she'd find me.

      I gulp and turn to face her. She looks serious and I know immediately humor isn't an option. I hop off my arwing to talk to her,"I was just uh... Fixing up my arwing," I lie, "Just personalizing it a little." 

      She glares at me trying to spot any evidence of my lie on my face, I hope none is showing. She shrugs, "Alright. Just don't break it," she kisses me on the cheek and walks off. Crisis avoided. I hop in when she leaves and blast off quickly, heading for the stars. I fly to the asteroid belt near Venom and try to spot anything. I quickly notice a bright gunship with a skull marked on it, I can practically smell my target.

(Author's Note: To set the mood. Put it on if you want a little immersion.)

    I know they notice me because the skull ship turns to face me. I prepare myself to take a life. Firing first my lasers graze a wing and barely hit the hull. Returning fire SKULKER takes their own shots, missing. I start fly in a circle, making myself harder to hit. They try to emulate that themselves but I manage to launch a torpedo in to their hull. 

     It's a solid hit but not enough to take out the ship. The ship rams me and fires a shot into my hull. I move away and fire two more torpedoes. They miss and explode a nearby asteroid. I start flying around to slip them up if they fire at me while I steady my aim. They fire a few times but miss, great. I take a few shots at them with my lasers. I take out their wings, but even without mobility they hit me with another shot. 

       Ready to finish this, I put finger on the trigger, "I'm sorry, but I've got a job to do," I say as if they could hear me, but I know it's just to make myself feel better about killing. I wonder how the rest of Starfox does this. I fire and the ship explodes. But my sadness is short lived as see a robot rather than a sentient being. This makes me feel much better as it was probably just a machine gone rogue. I pull out my phone scrolling back to my previous conversation, 'The job is done.' I fly myself back to the Great Fox. 

(Author's Note: If you haven't already, stop the music now.)

       I'm grinning as I dock. Yes! I think to myself, Fox and the team will be so proud of me. As I land on my designated pad, I see the faces of my crew mates... And they are not happy. I feel like flying back out but I know that's a bad idea. I get out of my ship preparing my self for a earful.

       "What the HELL  were you thinking?!" Fox reprimands me on the bridge. I feel like crying, I always do something wrong. "You left without letting someone know, took a mission from someone who 'said' they were part of the Cornerian army, and engaged in a dogfight?" 

        "Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry ma'am," I apologize. I wish I could just disappear or shoot myself with my blaster. 

         "Get to your room and stay there!" She yells, "For the next three weeks consider yourself grounded!" I don't respond I just look at my girlfriend-no! My captain and walk to my room somberly. As soon as I shut the door, tears stream down the (fur/scales/feathers) on my face.  I throw my jacket on the ground. 

         "HOW DO I MANAGE TO FUCK UP EVERY TIME?!" I scream to no one. I throw my chair across my room. I grab the picture of my family (or friends) and almost throw it on the ground, but I stop myself. I hold it against my chest and flop on my bed. Tonight, I'll be crying myself to sleep.

Captain's Log #437: Today I had the newest member fly on his own, without anyone knowing, lie to me, and engage in a dogfight. Does he not know I'm his superior. I reprimanded him in front of the others, he has been grounded for three weeks. Peppy told me I might have been too hard on him. Maybe he's right. Either way, I will check on him soon.
