The Black Sail Of The Storm Hawks (Pirate AU)

Chapter Thirteen - A Pirate's Life

While Aerrow, Piper and Radarr sent off to follow the next clue of Captain Arygyn's treasure, Finn and Junko along with the crew of the Storm Hawks made their way to the nearest tavern. It didn't take long for them to engage in merrymaking. Finn was having the time of his life and he drank rum while holding two Spanish women in his arms.

Finn: Ah don't worry ladies! There's plenty of me to go around!

Finn and the pirates were laughing loudly while Junko simply drank.

Finn: What's the matter Junko? These Spanish ladies aren't doing it for ya? I can assure you that these lassies live up to their reputation and more!

Junko: I am a married man, my friend. Happily I might add. 

Finn took interest in Junko's answer as he took a swig of rum from his cup. The two Spanish women then got up from Finn's lap. 

Finn: A married man, you say? Well what's a married man doing with a bunch of scoundrels such as us?

Junko: I was on a merchant's ship when the Cyclonians came in. I was the only one who could muster up a fight. 

Finn: A big man like yourself must've put the fear of God into those Talons. 

Junko: You could say that. Eventually, their numbers were too much and I was made a prisoner. They decided to sell me to slavery and here I am. I haven't my beloved wife since.

Finn: Well here's to a life a freedom, mate. If you don't mind me asking, what's your wife's name? She must be quite a woman to have you as a husband. 

Junko: Her name is.....

Suddenly, the conversation was interrupted. Finn and Junko turned to see a scrappy looking scoundrel standing before them. 

Scoundrel: Fancy seeing a Englishmen here in Havana! I'm English meself, biding my time till the next war calls me to service.

Finn: In case you're confused, I'm having a conversation with my mate. So why don't you fuck off?

The scoundrel soon became agitated by Finn's comments and confronted him. 

Scoundrel: I've seen your face before! I heard you cheated some Cyclonians and now you're flying their flag! You must be mates with them pirates on Atmosia!

Finn: You best shut your fucking gob or I'll fill it with shot! You hear me?!

The scoundrel laughs as he got in Finn's face. Immediately, Finn got up and stood up to the scoundrel. 

Scoundrel: I fucking knew it! Finn fucking Kenway! 

Finn then loses his cool and headbutts the scoundrel's face. He then knees him in the stomach and throws him through one of the tables. Soon enough, the scoundrel's friends rushed to Finn. 

Scoundrel Thug: You fucking bastard! 

Finn: Hey I warned him! You best back off while you mates have the chance unless you want to end up like that piss pot!

As the thugs were about to attack Finn, Junko got up and stared down the thugs with a frightening glare. Not wanting to fight Junko, they ran off while Finn smiled. 

Finn: Smart lads. If only your mate was that smart! 

Soon enough, Spanish Guards flooded the tavern with swords drawn. They soon saw the unconscious scoundrel and Finn. 

Spanish Guard: What is the meaning of this?!

Finn: Nothing worth looking into, mate. It's just a couple of lads getting into a scrap! 

Spanish Guard: You're under arrest for disturbing the peace! 

The Spanish Guards soon moved in on Finn and Junko. The other crew members of the Storm Hawks were about to attack when a hooded woman moved between the guards and the pirates. Without saying a word, she handed the guards a bag of coins each. Upon receiving the bribe, the guards left and went about their business. Finn and Junko were caught off guard by this. 

Finn: See Junko? What did I tell you? Spanish lasses are worthy of their reputation! Even the guards can't resist their charms!

The woman then removed her hood, revealing a woman with purple hair. 

Finn: Well hello, love!

Purple Haired Woman: I don't like guards barging into a tavern while I'm drinking. Your little stunt nearly ruined my fun. 

Finn: You can blame tipsy here for starting it. He started running his mouth and I replied appropriately. Who might you be?

Purple Haired Woman: The name's Starling. 

Finn: A pleasure to meet you, lass. I'm Finn Kenway and this giant of a man is Junko St. Pierre. Sorry about the mess. 

Starling walks over to the table where the unconscious scoundrel was and took an undamaged and unopened bottle of rum. She then took a sip and immediately spits it out. 

Starling: Stupid fucking gobshite. Of all the rum he could buy and he buys the cheapest shit he could be. It's more water than rum. 

Finn smiled at Starling's observation. It became clear that she was a drinker as much as he is. 

Finn: I knew he was dumb bastard. Anyone who drowns himself in cheap rum has no business in being in this fine establishment. You won't find such low standards with me or my boys! 

Starling smirked as she bought a bottle of rum. She then takes a sip of it finds it in better taste. 

Starling: Now this is rum! 

Finn: You're a woman after my own heart! Now that peace has been restored, let us all engage in merrymaking!

The pirates cheered as they began engaging in merrymaking as well as drinking their troubles away. Starling smirked at the new company she found herself in. This truly was the pirate's life.
