Come With Me: Mansk x Reader
Mansk kneeled by the edge of the boat railing with his gun pointed towards the metkayina , not believing his back here fighting another civil war over this planet. He didn't understand why they had to resort to so much violence and couldn't work out a peace treaty with the people. He kept looking around at his friends trying to gauge their reactions but most of them held neutral expressions so he shook his head trying to clear his thoughts when his eyes landed on you. You were currently being cuffed by Lyle but for some reason you had kept your eyes locked on him, it was like you were a sign to him.
You had gotten separated from Tsierya, Tuk, and Lo'ak, they opted to keep you as an extra incentive in case Jake had gotten bold and decided to pull something. You were currently in your cell wondering if your friends and family were okay when you heard your cell door open making you look up and see the man from earlier, the one you had gotten a sign from Ewya about.
lovers Fate
Chapter one
PLOT: Mansk believes he’s one of the only survivors after the sea dragon falls to the watery depths of the ocean. That is until he finds one person, one sole person amongst the wreckage. The one person he use to constantly flirt with before he had gone out on his mission.

The sea dragon had sunk to the bottom of the ocean and Mansk was seemingly left alone in the middle of the ocean. Remnants of the once buoyant ship came to the surface as wreckage and floated with the current. As far as he could tell everyone was gone, he was seemingly on his own. No idea where Quaritch was, last he had seen Lyle was alive but now he couldn't be so sure. The war itself was brutal, something that should have never happened. As much as he wanted to believe they were in the right he couldn't justify going after a man and his family as he did. It was only right for them to lose, only right for the sea dragon to be lost to the ocean bead below them. Burying it and everything else that had laid waste to the ecosystem around them.
Carefully Mansk had thrown his gun over his back, the strap resting along his front as he pushed himself forward towards some of the wreckage. Perhaps he could salvage somethings for his own survival and Somehow make his way back to a base or anything for that matter. He wasn’t entirely sure how his return would be reciprocated, there was a very strong chance they might deem him unnecessary. A failed re-creation of his former self seeing as how he was a part of the group that had lost the war, a part of the group that had failed the mission and still had no results to show for his efforts.
The closer he got to some floating debris, boxes and plastic bags zipped up with who knows what was when he spotted it. Or rather was when he spotted what seemed like another survivor. Not a human but another recom draped along one of the slowly bobbing boxes. This one wasn't a soldier, wasn't a part of his team that had taken on the mission that was Jake Sully and his family. Upon closer inspection he recognized who the drifting survivor was, one of the scientists the RDA had decided to give recom bodies in order to help assist in the study of the planet pandora. Explore what plants would be safe to human consumption and what specifically to stay away from. Or just regular doctors large enough to deal with the recoms bigger injuries, it genuinely helped get things done that was for damn sure.
Isabella, her name was Issabella if his memories were to serve him correctly. From time to time he would chat with her before they had been set out on their mission. Making it a game to see if he could get her to laugh as he quite enjoyed hearing that from her or even just pulling a smile on her face. They rarely had time to speak with one another though, those moments around her where few and far between.
“ Isabella.. “ Mansk called after the woman pushing forward as he spit some of the sea water That had collected in his mouth as he went slightly underwater from the current. He called out her name again when she didn’t answer him, his only assumption was the simple fact that she may very well be unconscious after the whole event. Somehow she has managed to pull herself up onto one of the floating pieces of wreckage before losing any sense of consciousness.
She had to be alive out of everyone he could’ve found at the very least she had to be alive, he was entirely unsure if he could do this all himself. Sure physically he could. But doing so alone wasn’t something he was entirely sure he wanted to go through with. His hands grasped the massive box she had been resting on, using its buoyancy in order to keep himself above water as well. A freehand came to slide across the side of her fac, brushing her wet hair away in order for him to get a better look at her and asses any injuries she may have. “ Hey, are you with me Issabella? “ His tone came a little more concerned this time around, worried he may have come to her far too late in order to save her. His index and middle finger had come to rest under her nose for any sort of breath, a sign of anything. He desperately just needed anything to indicate any sign of life. To his relief her soft breaths fell against his fingers, she was alive. He wasn’t alone and she was alive, he could get through this. As long as he had someone to look after, a goal to achieve he could get them both through this.
Mansk hand returned to the side of her face, thumb moving to stroke along Isabella’s cheek. He had to wake her up and they had to get out of the water. Find somewhere safe for the night and come up with a plan in the morning. If he was tired and beat after all of this he had no doubt she would be as well. Really it was just a given and he hadn’t even gotten to speak with her quite yet.
“ Issa cmon open your eyes for me, can you do that for me please? “ his hand came down to her back rubbing softly, shaking her was not an option as it would more than likely just scare her. Waking her gently ensured that if she was to have any injuries he didn’t initially see it wouldn’t be agitated any further than it already was.
“ Please princesa… open those pretty eyes for me. “ it took a few more minutes of coaxing, rubbing her back and simply just talking to get any sort of reaction out of her but it happened. Her nose wrinkled slightly as a soft wine fell from her lips. Weather that be from pain or just the fact that she was being pulled from her unconscious sleepy state he was unsure at the moment. All that really mattered to him was that she was waking and that he wasn’t alone. Wasn’t the only one to make it out of this and the fact that he didn’t have to swim up on her being dead in the water. What a cruel thought to think of, one of the people he had come to care about upon his awakening. If he had found her dead there as his own punishment well, he wouldn’t have handled it properly at all.
Her eyes fluttered open as she took a full deep breath before coughing, hands tightening on the piece of wreckage that had kept the both of them bobbing slightly in the water. Mansk simply stayed there waiting, speaking softly in order to reassure her of his presence and that he was in fact there. Waking up to all of this, seeing all of this? It was overwhelming even to him. Not that he was willing to admit that quite yet as his brain was solely on the fact of their survival.
“ M-mansk? What happened? “ his voice, she could always tell it was him simply by hearing his voice before she was to ever see him. Lyle used to tease her about it when he could. Poking at her and asking why she could recognize mansk without turning around but never his own. It was always all in good fun and the three of them always had a good laugh. He wanted to go back to that, to before his mission had started. Maybe he could have escorted scientists to explore the planet instead of this. He knew it wasn’t possible seeing as how his skill set was meant for this. Meant for acts of war he wanted no part of any longer.
“ We sunk.. we lost. I couldn’t find anyone else but you. Everyone either fled or… “ he didn’t want to finish his sentence, not in front of her. She was his last bit of innocence he had and he couldn’t break that. Couldn’t break any hope of her friends still being alive, she needed hope just as much as he needed her.
“ What do you remember? “ He had to figure out where her head was in all of this, figure out what she remembered. Had to figure out if she had received any sort of head injury in the scuffle. Sure she didn’t join in the fight as she didn’t agree with it but that didn’t mean she didn’t sustain any injuries trying to escape the flooding sea dragon.
“ I.. I don't know. It was dark. There was an explosion and.. and I fell back. I was in one of the labs I think…. It was so bright and then nothing there was nothing until now. '' Shock, she was in shock and the memories would come flooding back. Isabella remembered bits and pieces of what went on so it was either the shock or she had a mild concussion. Both things he could deal with and roll with the punches as they came. Minor things he could deal with, he had minor medical training. All of the recoms did as they Rda made it mandatory incase they couldn’t get back in time. Basic medical technique could mean life and death, buy someone a few extra minutes.
“ That’s ok, we can work with that. It’s alright princesa for now we just need to get to shelter. Worry about the rest later. “ actually having someone to look out for made it easier for Mansk to gain a level head, he wasn’t as lost as he would have been if he was on his own. His first goal was to get them to an island or at least a collection of massive rocks in order for them to mount his Ikran and fly a short distance to some land. Flying all night would do them no good after all and it would really only tire out his ikran to the point of exhaustion or death. Then they really would be stuck and stranded.
“ Alright follow me.. we’re going to get out of this water and take shelter, regroup a bit before we make any other decisions. “ Mansk patted her hand before pushing himself off of the floating wreckage, towards a band of massive sea boulders deeply rooted in place. From there they could follow through with his plan.
“ Mansk wait..! “ Isabella had instantly reached out for him only to grab onto nothing as she had let go of the wreckage in order to get to him. Her head bobbed under the water a moment before she resurfaced sputtering as her hands tried to reach for anything as an anchor once again.
“ I cant see. '' She sobbed out, still able to stay above water but have absolutely no idea what direction she should be going in. Isabella had been blinded somehow during the fight and she couldn’t do a thing about it.
“ I cant fucking see. “ Repeating that again came as a realization to her, what was she going to do? Her voice had been filled with fear, fear of what was going to happen and if her sight was ever going to come back. What if he left her? What good was she if she couldn’t see in order to help out and pull her own weight.
A hand had come to hers as she reached one’s more in hopes to find the side of something floating. Mansk had reached out for her during her struggle in order to help steady her. It hurt him, hearing her repeat the fact that she couldn’t see. How devastating that had to be for her. Carefully he had pulled her back to the original container they had been floating on beside one another, his hand never left hers simply to offer some sort of comfort in knowing that he was still there with her.
“ it’s ok, Issa it’s ok. I’m not going to leave you.. I couldn’t leave you, I can’t leave you. “
Fuck, she was blinded in the mess of all things? Was it permanent? Was it temporary? How could this have happened? She was innocent in all of this if anything it should have been him. He wanted it to be him instead of her. He hated how terrified she was. How scared she seemed to be upon the realization. It pained him to realize just what that fear was about. Being alone-, being left behind because she felt as though she was useless to him when in reality she wasn’t. She was so far from useless to him and she didn’t even realize that.
“ keep your hands in place ok? I’m gonna steer us where we need to go, just swim. I’m not leaving, you’ll be fine. We’ll be fine I promise. “
I promise.
I love you I promice.
Words unspoken meant so much and yet he still hasn’t admitted it.
i promise.

Night Na’vi are called that for a reason.
Not that Mansk or the RDA would know. After all, Night Na’vi are considered quite a rare bird.
Almost done organizing the plot for Nikea and the Night Na’vi’s story, so once that’s done, y’all won’t know what hit you
*Audio from Castlevania
There’s a possibility, that somewhere in another universe… you could have lived to see the morning.
You can’t tell me that the recombinant’s deaths didn’t affect Lyle and Quaritch at all. Quaritch must feel responsible and guilty for their death in a way because he’s their Colonel. They probably weren’t as close as we imagine, but there is no way they don’t think about it. I also feel like them being the first Recom Team in Avatars brought them closer (trauma bonding). Which is why I feel like they both decided to give them a small funeral-like goodbye ceremony. They had to leave their dead bodies behind, so they decided to put them to peace like this.
May their paper boats float until they reach the horizon,
For their eyes have never seen it,
May they last longer than their bodies,
Because their creators have demeaned it,
Let them live within the stars and far from the scene,
Their lives should have been their own,
And not foreseen.
Damn, getting all emotional and shit. This poor excuse of a poem basically means that they should have lived longer and not under the command of the RDA. The RDA treated them like lab rats to see if things would work out and didn’t properly value their lives because to them the recoms were ‘just Avatars’. In many parts of ATWOW you could see that the recoms weren’t sure what they were doing and why. They just followed orders because that mission was their life purpose. They deserved a chance to properly live like Jake but their time was cut short too quickly. And of course, I miss them.
