But What If || Neteyam x reader

No Quick Getaway

      That's when your eyes were caught to the right. Even though your Dad had just been a vendor he knew the ins and outs of how Amrita was obtained. You'd sifted through his files when you were trying to find out what Amrita was made out of and the surface boat that was coming around was something you recognized as a threat. "Payakan, watch out!" When the harpoon shot out he closed his mouth and deflected it onto the ship. There was an explosion on impact and Payakan then went back underwater. Easing himself down but still causing a few last-minute damages in the process. Everyone's attention was then drawn out to everyone on their Skimwing's. "Open fire!" Upon firing they dipped underwater for cover. "Sully's inbound. I want eyes on!" As you heard Quaritch yell you still felt hopeful. He was angry, good maybe he felt a little scared along with it. "All right, let's go. Saddle up! We're up!" Quaritch mounted his Ikran quickly and Lyle followed, the deck was starting to look very empty.

     You looked along the deck as if everyone was just leaving you there. A few stayed but only a small few and they were humans. You could easily overpower them unless you got shot first. You moved your sights back onto the chaos of war, Neytiri was up in the sky and you watched her take down a gunship with ease. In the gunfire it was harder to find Mr. Sully, but hey. It looked like they were succeeding in bringing down the enemy. That was until they started firing more rapidly and using the sound cannons. It looked rough out there as you were trying to find Mr. Sully to see if he was okay. You didn't find him. Tuk grunted next to you as she pulled on the cuffs. Tsireya and Lo'ak were trying to get loose as well. You knew it wouldn't help to struggle so you looked around, in all the chaos Payakan had created, maybe someone dropped a knife, or maybe yours had slid closer.

      "Tsireya!" You had spotted her knife, it was close enough to reach if either you or her stretched out. "Look," She saw what you were motioning towards and tried reaching out to grab it. "It's too far!" Tuk had noticed your idea for escape now too. "Come on! Tsireya stretch harder!" She grunted as she kept trying to touch the knife with the tip of her toes. "Come on!" You decided to try stretching out as well. After all, you were slightly taller than her and it was your hands that were bound to the rail instead of your bicep. "Come on!" You heard a loud explosion hit and felt the ship vibrate with it. "Hurry, someone might see!" You couldn't see the blast so you assumed you were okay. "Come on, hurry!"You touched the knife slightly at first making it spin. "Hold on!" You almost had it, you stretched out your limbs so far it hurt like hell. "You're almost there!" You got it, you pulled it close fast but not fast enough. The ship started moving fast and it yanked all of you.

     You cursed loudly as you lost the knife. "Fuck!" Tuk screamed as the ship was going fast enough that you were all slipping. Then you hit rocks, you tried preparing yourself for them but you were preparing yourself for the rocks to stop you. Not send you flying. You screamed with Tuk as only the bound parts of your bodies touched the ship. Your feet were above you now. "Tuk!" This was going to hurt like a bitch. You all came crashing down with the ship and yeah, it hurt. "Are you okay?" Lo'ak moved next to Tuk still trying to break free. Tuk just grunted in response and though there was little hope you tried looking back to see if the knife hadn't gone too far. It had, you couldn't even see it anymore but you did spot someone else on the floor knocked out.

    You turned around quickly and started yanking your cuffs along with the others. "Come on!" You pulled as the others did. "Try it together!" Tsireya stopped as she gave off a count. "Ready? One, two, three!' You all tried and it still didn't budge, damn these things were well made. "Come on, move!" Tuk's small grunt and squeals were heard every time she tried pulling herself out. "Hurry, before someone comes back!" You grunted as you had pulled your feet up and pushed with your legs while you pulled with your arms. This didn't go well, when you stopped resisting you dropped. You hit your head slightly but you were still trying to break free as you then kicked the rail from on the ground. "Move, you stupid thing!" If the railing just broke you, Lo'ak, and Tuk could get loose and find a knife to free Tsireya, damn it.

      You could go grab your knife as you'd found it in his hands. You kicked at the rail again in anger, what right did he have to touch your knife? Why was he so determined to get you back now? All you knew was that you didn't need him and you didn't want him. He could stay there and rot for all you knew. Warning sounds started ringing and you knew the ship must've taken a tremendous amount of damage from the rocks. You moved up and started pulling again, Lo'ak kicked the rail just as you had before. It wiggled which was something better, maybe he could wriggle it loose! "Lo'ak!" You were going to tell him to do that again but you didn't need to as Tuk shouted. "Neteyam!"

     You looked over instantly and smiled. "Neteyam!" There he was, heroically saving the day. "Hey, baby brother, need some help?" Your smile cracked wider at his jokes while he cut Tsireya's cuffs first. "Shut up, come one. Get us loose." Neteyam rolled his eyes as he then made his way to you. "Are you alright Tanhì?" You are now. "Yeah," He cut yours quickly and you just wanted to hug him there. Instead, you let him move onto Tuk and lightly brushed his shoulder as you went over to your father. You went to retrieve your knife but, you had thought he was dead but when you took it you could still feel him breathing. Damn, "Okay, Tsireya, (Y/N), get Tuk out of here." You turned to just tell them to go. "Go Tsireya, I'll catch up." You had your knife now. "Bro, hurry up!" Tsireya looked between you and the man knocked out in front of you and hesitated to say, "Okay. come on Tuk." They then both leaped off the ship and were gone, thank Eywa they were now safe.

    But now the issue with what you would do to him remained. "Who's the mighty warrior, huh? Come on, say it." Your solution was close by, even though he could rot for all you cared. "Bro!" You still couldn't let his death be something you could have prevented, it just wasn't who you were. "Come on. Let's go." You found a spare oxygen mask and quickly grabbed a dead person's life vest and secured it around him. "Lo'ak!" As you finished tying the life vest on tightly you worked on tucking the air mask in the knot. "They've got Spider, we've gotta get him." You turned and knew you'd be going with them. "Come on." You saw Lo'ak had taken a gun from a recom who you didn't recognize and went over as Neteyam struggled to decide whether this was a good idea or not. "Neteyam, come on." You egged him on as you grabbed the pistol from the deceased recom. "Come on, bro. We can't leave him." You concurred, if you got to save your father then why not save Spider? Neteyam gave a grunt as he made the last decision. You were already bouncing over with Lo'ak when he joined you both.
