Maybe a story about reader comforting Scott after an EF5 or vice versa

Comfort | Scott x Reader

A/N: Scott didn’t stop Javi from driving into town because he knew you were there.

You and Scott had agreed to keep your relationship secret. Storm Par and the Wranglers were supposed to hate each other after all. What would your teams say if they knew you were sleeping with the enemy?

But you couldn’t hide the horror on your face and the terror in your voice as you watched Scott and Javi’s truck be flipped on its side as the tornado moved dangerously close. “We have to do something!” Kate nodded in agreement.

Then the tornado went through the factory and caught fire and now the vortex swirled with flames. You’d never been more scared in your life. It was so close to Scott and Javi.

But by some miracle, debris large enough to knock the car upright slammed into the car. Back on wheels, Javi floored it, and in return, Tyler floored it in reverse.

As you all drove away from the tornado, you were an anxious mess. You barely heard Kate and Tyler’s conversation about the tornado heading straight for El Reno, how you needed to go into town and help.

You’d be in the path of that monster again. You were fine with that. But as you watched Storm Par follow your group into town, you realized Scott would also be in the path of that monster again.

You arrived in town before Javi and Scott, helping your group herd people to shelters. But the shelters filled up quickly, so you all began ushering people to the movie theater. You noticed, as you stood by the door to help people inside, that Tyler and Kate were missing.

You ran back out into the street, quickly spotting them. Tyler was pinned under debris and Kate was struggling to lift it. You watched in horror as flying machinery slammed into the water tower, knocking down one of its supports. The tower was going to fall.

And Tyler and Kate were right under it.

You ran over to help Kate try to lift the debris but even with your combined efforts, you just didn’t have the leverage to free Tyler.

Then suddenly, the debris was lifted. You looked towards the hero, who turned out to be Javi using a long piece of wood as leverage. “COME ON!”

You and Kate helped Tyler to his feet just as the water tower collapsed. Luckily you got out of its path, but as soon as it crashed to the ground, you were being swept away by the wave of water that came from it.

Someone caught you under the arms and lifted you from the water effortlessly onto your feet. You turned to see Scott, worry plastered across his face and barely concealed fear in his eyes.

Kate and Javi were helping Tyler to his feet and began moving towards the movie theater’s door. You and Scott followed them inside. “We have to find a basement,” Tyler was saying. “I’ll check this side!” Javi announced, running down a hallway. You followed Tyler to the other side of the building to check for a basement. There was none to be found.

Part of the roof crumbled in and fell, thankfully missing people. It sent people into a panic though, so you helped herd everyone into the back of the theater. The building groaned and the screen fluttered. “Scott, get down!” You pushed Scott down between the chairs just as the entire wall of the building was sucked away.

You and Tyler had been standing, but you both managed to catch yourselves on the bottoms of chairs. You hung on for dear life as the seats in front of you and the people clinging to them were swept away into the angry vortex heading towards you.

It was you, Tyler, Lily, and Boone, in the row that would no doubt be next to go. Scott, Dani, Dexter, and Ben were in the row behind you, the chairs you clung to the last barrier between them and the monster.

You felt your grip slip and screamed. “(NAME)!” You could hear Scott’s panicked cry over the wind. But last minute, Tyler caught you by the wrists, anchoring himself to the ground by hooking his ankle around the bottom of a chair.

“I’ve got you!” he yelled over the wind. “I’ve got you!”

You briefly wondered where Kate was.

Then suddenly, the winds died down and you were back on the ground, you and Tyler still holding onto each other for dear life. You looked over your shoulder to see the twister die out. You and Tyler released one another.

Tyler got up and limped to the gaping hole in the building, looking out at where the tornado had been.

You got as far as sitting up before you were trapped in a pair of strong arms. “(Name), (Name), Jesus Christ,” Scott sat down and pulled you into his lap, cradling you to his chest like you were going to disappear. You almost had.

“Scott,” you said, struggling to free your arms to hug him back. His shoulders shook and you realized with a start that he was crying. “Scott,” you said, firmer this time. “Look at me.”

Scott pulled back just enough to be able to look down at your face, but his grip on you didn’t loosen and he kept you in his lap.

His eyes were red and there were tear stains down his cheeks.

You kissed away rogue tears that fell, cupping his face in your hands. “Scotty, what's wrong?”

“I almost lost you and there was nothing I could do about it,” Scott said quietly. He held you as tight as he could without hurting you.

“Oh, baby, it’s okay. It’s okay, I’m right here, it didn’t get me,” you soothed him. You ran your fingers through his tousled hair. Scott just buried his face in your neck. “I’m right here. I’m right here,” you repeated to him.

You realized Boone, Dani, and Lily were watching you. Boone looked horrified, and Dani and Lily looked like they’d known all along.

Scott finally loosened his grip on you. He had noticed your teammates staring but he didn’t care as he desperately pressed his lips to yours. He had to know you were still here and he wasn’t dreaming.

You kissed him back sweetly. When Scott pulled away, he dropped his forehead against yours. “I love you.” Scott had never said that before. Your heart fluttered.

“I love you too.”

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O

it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”

the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997

it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)

two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama

and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio

edit: it has been brought to my attention that the native american “legend” part of this post was a rumor spread by a documentary.

i have been asked to remove it, but i believe in letting my errors stand because i’m not perfect. i make mistakes

Without looking it up, when you first hear "Tornado Warning", what does that mean to you?
