But What If || Neteyam x reader

Shooting In The Dark

       You all were panting and in a slight state of shock. Neteyam brought you all out when he tapped his brother's arm, holding yours in the other. "Bro, come on." Maybe Spider wasn't as affected as you'd thought. "Let's go." You tightened your hand around Netetyam's and moved with him. You both jumped down over a small set of stairs. You were intrigued by how Spider did the same without slowing you all down. "Thanks, guys." And at least he was grateful. But it was like an instinct for you all to look behind Spider and see Lyle. "Go!" You moved for cover as you knew he'd shoot instantly. "No!" Lo'ak was apparently just going to shoot out in the open until Neteyam stopped him. "Bro, come on!" Neteyam shoved him to where you and Spider were headed. "Come on! Follow us!" You waved over as Lo'ak made his way over, going off the momentum of his brother pushing him. "Go, go, go!" You were still in an open spot and were running over to a spot that looked like it was okay cover.

     An exit was right next to you too, it would make a quick getaway. "Go, go, go!" You all kept dodging bullets as you made your way over. You fired one shot over as you had almost forgotten you had a gun. You were sure you hadn't hit anyone as you all made it over to a go spot for cover, at least for a small while. "Give me that!" Neteyam took the gun from Lo'ak and started shooting over his shoulder. This gave them a bit of cover. "Go, go, go!" You knew he was telling you all to go but as Lo'ak and Spider left you stayed. Neteyam shot back again while Spider and Lo'ak kept over to the open part of the ship. "This way!" They jumped together and looked safe. Neteyam moved to put his gun down. "(Y/N)!" You looked between him and the gunfire and stopped him. "Wait!" He looked at you as you moved him back and took his spot. "He's going to have to reload soon. You fired a few rounds and pulled back. "Just wait for a second!"

     He looked uncertain but agreed with a nod, looking over at the stray gunshots again. You relied on your ears to hear for that sound, you'd had to hear it a dozen times when you'd first woken up. When you did hear it you moved to fire another shot, "Come on, let's go!" You moved your body into the open to fire. Hopefully getting a better shot. "Go, Neteyam!" Neteyam moved next to you as you dropped your gun as it was now out of bullets and jumped together. You were in the air and you could feel a sting just before you hit the Ocean. When you fell into the water it stung more, like putting salt in a fresh wound. You looked around and saw a new wound forming that made your great bleed. There was a fog of red around Neteyam, he was shot. You swam over to him ignoring whatever felt like water rushing through your body.

     Neteyam swam to you as well, when you both got a hold of each other you moved out from under the ship to where you saw an ilu and two sets of legs. Underwater you called for another ilu hoping there was still one near. You both helped each other move and get above water, you gasped for air finally letting yourself breathe. It hurt to keep your leg and arm moving but you were more worried about Neteyam. He was wincing in pain and you moved to look at where the blood was coming from. "Come on, bro!" An ilu popped up next to you and you moved to grab the reins. "You Skxawng, I'm shot." You moved your leg over the ilu, wincing in the process. Neteyam was holding his hand up to where the blood was as you pulled him up. "Well don't just stay there, help me!" Your right arm hurt like hell.

       "Shit." You knew you'd also been shot when you were pulling Neteyam up. "Pull him up!" Lo'ak helped bring him up onto your ilu and as Neteyam's body came up you felt your thigh throbbing, you'd been shot twice. Damn it. "Move, move, go!" Neteyam was secured on your ilu, you did your best to hold onto him and your ilu. "You guys go with Tsireya, I've got him!" Your voice sounded raspy. "Lo'ak, they have Kirk and Tuk!" You were off, but your head twitched back at Tsireya's confession. Hopefully, Lo'ak would go back for them, you had Neteyam. "Come on, Neteyam." You looked at his wound, it was in his shoulder. He had his hand over it to try and stop the bleeding but you kept scratching his body and found another wound down his torso. You moved your left hand to keep pressure on it. "Dad! Dad help, it's Netetyam!" Lo'ak was behind you, next to you almost as he was nearing a rock Mr. Sully was on.
