Meeting Rudo for the first time - what could go wrong?
Enjin x GNReader (sorta), Team Akuta x OlderSister!Reader

“It’s okay Zanka, I would have ran away too” you try and comfort the poor boy next to you after hearing about the embarrassing encounter he had with Rudo on the boys first day on The Ground.
Riyo and Enjin were still laughing, the latter doing so a little too loud, that both Zanka and Rudo were looking down and away from their Team Leader. A swift kick had Enjin shooting up a little, glaring across the table for a second before running a hand through his hair as he relaxes into his easy grin.
“Thanks (Y/N)” Zanka mumbles from beside you, giving you a glance before trying to come back from his embarrassment, though a faint blush of red still covers his cheeks.
You hum, smiling over at him. “Besides- I can’t think of some other stories that-“
“Okay!” Enjin almost shouts, returning the kick. “So, (Y/N), you busy today?”
You shake your head, “nope, Boss said I could have a few days off but…” you trail off slightly.
It wasn’t unknown for you to get restless. Being a Cleaner didn’t give you a lot of time for hobbies, and the ones you had usually revolved around work. Your time was either spent training, training younger members, or simply doing paper work. The only real breaks were the parties that were thrown from time to time, but you seem to have missed the most recent one - Rudo’s welcome.
The man across from you hums, leaning on his elbows, chin resting on his hand. “Wanna join us for a mission? Semiu’s got us on one for this afternoon”, he states, tilting his head.
“Yeah?” you lean forward, just as eager.
He nods, “course - you can help us show Rudo what a real Cleaner is”.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It wasn’t long before you and Team Akuta, alongside Gris, Tomme and Follo were shoved into two of the HQ vehicles and sent on your way. Much to the joy of the team, you’d chosen to drive rather then Gris to avoid anyone falling asleep, leaving you, Tomme, Follo, Gris and surprisingly Riyo in one car, while the others travelled with Enjin.
The job wasn’t that bad: a rogue Trash Beast that had managed to get past a towns wall was causing some trouble. In truth, you didn’t see why such a large Team had been sent out for a simple mission.
“It’s because of what happened last week” Gris supplied when you’d asked. “The Raiders already seem to know we have Rudo”.
Ah- that did cause a problem. “Did they attack HQ?”
“No, but Zanka lead a mission to some abandoned building where they’d reported a Trash Beast. Went to investigate and.. well…”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me!”
No one had told you that both Gris AND Zanka had been horrifically hurt last week. Not once did someone decide to mention that you could have gotten home back to HQ and be missing two of your family members.
At least both of them had the decency to look sheepish, while Enjin just stood off to the side holding in a laugh, which wasn’t helping.
“We can sort this out after the Beast is done with” Enjin told you, sliding his arm around your neck and tugging you away from the two men. “Besides- they feel bad enough ya know”.
You huff, crossing your arms, but allowing Enjin to tug you away. “You could have told me too”.
“And ruin the show?- OW!” a hand flying to his side as he side steps a second jab.
Organising the perimeter and who would do what was quick, leaving you on the side to help keep an eye on Rudo. Your Jinki hummed against your wrists, prepared for anything that might come your way.
The Trash Beast was big, bigger than reported at least, towering at least three stories. It seemed to have a knack for attempting to bulldoze into things, mimicking the shape of what you assume must be some animal lost to time now. Four thick legs and an even larger body and head to match, with horns jutting out from the front of its temple.
“I got it!” you hear Riyo shout, her hair flying in a streak of red across the sky as she cuts into the Beasts side attempting to find the point of its Anima.
Zanka follows after quick, Lovely slashing through metal and trash, attempting to dislodge one of the horns.
Rudo, he just seemed to be… looking. For what? You knew his Jinki by now- the gloves he wore on his hands. Thick and worn, branded with a sigil you’d never seen before, and clearly loved dearly for him to have awakened it as his Vital Instrument. What else did he need?
Before you can ask, a shattering bang shakes the ground beneath your feet. Your eyes dart up to find the Beast half submerged into the side of one of the abandoned buildings, concrete and rock trickling at the side of its body as the building starts to tilt from the pressure.
Your body moved before you’d even realised what was happening. Your wrists thrumbed once, twice, before chains flew from your Jinki: two simple golden bracelets that sat on each wrist. The bands thickening into something similar to a chain, growing stronger as they reached lengths of 5ft, then 10, then 15. The ends sharpened into a form of hook, allowing you to dig into the ground to help slingshot yourself off and up - straight towards Riyo.
She’d started to attack, both her feet pressed against the handle of Ripper, momentum carrying her too fast to stop. You extend an arm, chain flowing through the air until it wrapped around her middle, hooking through the Ripper’s handle, and tugging them both back, avoiding the fall of a concrete slab.
Tugging Riyo off to the side you used your other arm to change direction, using part of the collapsing building to swing around towards where you’d last seen Rudo. You didn’t know if the boy had had time to move, if he wasn’t too distracted with searching for whatever he needed.
“Rudo!” Follo shouted, already running towards the younger boy. Running right into danger. As brave as that boy was - he could be an idiot.
You whip your hand to your neck, pressing your chocker. “Jin, get ready”.
“What?” comes back, crackled, but you don’t have time to explain.
Shooting off one of your chains you pull Follo off the side, using his movement to help him fly in the direction of Enjin, praying the man would be quick, otherwise there would be a serious trip to Alice on the way home.
Twisting your body around you slide the other around Rudo, pulling him towards you rather than out, following the momentum of your own fall. The teenage seems to buffer, hanging almost lifeless before he registers what’s happening, hands flying to grip onto the chains around his waist. “What the-FUCK?!”
Both you and Rudo slam to the left, barely dodging part of the falling building as you skid across the floor, travelling too fast to register where you are until you roll to a stop.
Dust starts to settle around you, the feeling of stone and rock against your back and limbs. A groan from besides you was a good enough sign Rudo was still breathing - not crushed.
“I should have stayed home..” you groan, eyes closed.
Thankfully, Zanka and Enjin had finished off the Trash Beast while you’d pulled the others out of the way. Follo had also been grabbed out of the air, meaning he only had. a few bruises. Ironically, you and Rudo seemed to have the worst time, both sporting some nasty form of road rash on your arms.
“I had it” Rudo complains, sitting next to you. His eyebrows narrowed and mouth pulled into grimace as he looks over at you. “You didn’t have to yank me around like a rag doll”.
You scoff, grinning. “Oh yeah? maybe next time i’ll leave you to be flattened huh?”
He stands, arms crossed. “I wouldn’t have been flattened, dickface”.
Oh yeah, this kid was definitely a younger Enjin if you’d ever seen in. “Would too”.
A hand plants itself on top of Rudo’s head, stopping the boys next outburst in its tracks. Well- at you anyways. A shout of disgust and grumble towards Enjin followed. “Get off would ya!”
“Well, I’d say this was a success!” he grins, looking between everyone.
You hum, still picking dirt out of your arm. “Oh yeah- amazing”.
