Treasure (Jim Hawkins x Reader)

Chapter 3

"Do you think the captain will be alright?" Jim asks. "Captain Amelia is a strong woman. Don't think something like that will be enough to take her down." Y/n assured him, though she was a little concerned herself. "I'm more worried about what we're going to do about those pirates." The thought of Silver made her blood boil, how could he lie to them like that? After everything he said to them, how they would grow to accomplish great things, it was all lies. "We'll figure out something." Jim says. The two continued to walk in silence before Jim spoke up again. "So uh, how did you get mixed in with that crew? You're not a pirate, right?" He says with a hint of suspicion. "No, I assure you I'm not." Y/n chuckles. "Otherwise, I would have down you in by now. Given that it's just the two of us, it would have been easy." She smirks.

"I wouldn't say so. I'm tougher than I look. Don't forget I'm the one who stabbed Silver in the leg." Jim informs her. "Yeah, but you got lucky." Y/n rolls her eyes. "But to answer your question, I was hired for my mechanic skills. If the engines or anything else on the ship was damaged, it was my job to take care of it." She explains. "It was all by chance really, I was short on cash, and this was the perfect situation. I'd get paid to go out in space and do what I do best." Y/n smiles. "I'd take any chance to get away from where I was. Even if something like this happens." Jim looks at her. "I take it your old place wasn't too pleasant then?" He asks. Y/n shakes her head, avoiding eye contact with him. "Nah, it wasn't."

"But hey, even if this didn't happen, I would still be having the time of my life. Some low down pirates aren't going to change that." She says, with a bright smile on her face. Jim had to admit, her attitude was never less than uplifting. Could nothing make her upset? "You sure are optimistic about this." Jim says. "Oh no, I'm scared for life actually. But me freaking out isn't going to solve anything, now is it. In situations like this, remaining calm is the best way to go." She corrects him. "Trust me, loosing your cool won't help a bit." She raises her robotic arm. Jim couldn't help but feel bad for her, he decided questioning her further on the subject wouldn't be wise. "Well, you got a good view on things that's for sure. I'm sure me and you can find out a way to get out of this, you seem smart enough to handle yourself." Y/n felt a slight blush rise to her cheeks, she laughed it off. "Heh, thanks! You're pretty bright yourself Jim." Jim was about to thank her before he heard something from behind him.
