Word Count: 4.7K

Pairing: Platonic!Pedro Pascal x Platonic!Reader, Paul Mescal x Reader

Warnings: sweet "father-daughter" moments, laughter giggles, just general fluff

A/N: This is something that's been on my mind for a while and with Gladiator 2 this only fueled it. CONTAINS CLAN OF THREE SPOILERS+WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. Read all of the Clan of Three Series here and also read Where the Wild Things Are here

------

“Alright, we are all ready?” The interviewer asks and the cameramen and sound people each give their sounds of agreement and then turn to give the go-ahead to start, “Hello guys it’s a pleasure meeting you two. It must be good to reunite once again. Let’s get a little introduction then go crazy.” He greets the two actors sitting next to each other.

“Hello world I’m Pedro Pascal.” “And I’m Y/n L/n and we’re here with Variety Magazine.” The two of you greet the camera before looking at one another. Pedro gives a fake serious look and you roll your eyes at his antics and he burst into laughter.

“This is what I dealt with for five years oh god how did I do it.” You pinch the bridge of your nose while the older man dies down his chuckles.

“Don’t act all innocent you were in just as much mischief as I was.” Pedro points at you, “I was barely an adult on set you’re supposed to be the responsible one.” It seemed like years had flown by. This TV show was your breakthrough role and allowed your career to skyrocket and it was all thanks to meeting this man.

“Plenty of fun stories from set between the cast and crew.” The interviewer asks you both and Pedro nods enthusiastically.

“The first two seasons this one was attached to my hip. I couldn’t even go for a nap without her waiting outside of my trailer.” He says with a chuckle and you cross your arms.

“You were the only person on set who was childish enough to want to hang out with a high schooler.” You reply sassily and the interviewer has to cover his mouth to hide his laughter while Pedro gasps dramatically while holding his chest. “How dare you call me childish.”

“So Y/n being the youngest person of the cast and growing up on the show how did it affect your character?” You smile smoothing out the wrinkle in your pants.

“Well, I was cast in 2018 a couple of months after Pedro was already cast. It’s funny cause Dave and Jon actually when creating this show my character was never meant to be in this show just an idea thrown around.” You explain, “But they decided why not add another bounty for Mando to take care of, but through the show, they both learn to take care of each other and he becomes a father figure to her.”

“And Pedro how was that playing a role of becoming a father figure and being there in her life?” He asks and Pedro scratches his beard.

“I mean at first not gonna lie I was very nervous. I have worked with younger actors before but this was something different. It wasn’t a child actor that played my son or daughter, or someone who was an adult it was a teenager that I would be working with quite closely. I mean we met for our first table read and you were just this shy girl who was meant to be this sassy badass character. But you blew me and the crew away when we started working together,” Pedro says glancing over at you with a nostalgic look in his eyes, “Both the relationship of our characters had this whole evolution from being adversaries and not even friendly with one another to a bond that ran deeper than blood. I watched her grow up with every episode and season from that timid little girl to this strong intelligent woman before me.” You give a pouting smile before putting your face in your hands.

“I hate you. You’re gonna make me cry.” You sigh making the interviewer and Pedro laugh and wraps his arms around your hunched-over body rocking you side to side. “You’re not the only one teary-eyed,” The interviewer says fanning his eyes and you smile at his attempt to not single you out.

“It’s all good I’m professional.” You steel your face wiping away any trace of sadness from his touching speech. “Yeah, Pedro is an alright guy I guess.” You shrug and Pedro bursts into laughter throwing his head back

“Okay getting back on track. You’ve both been very busy this past year. Season 3 of The Mandalorian has been out and fans are both crying over how good this show is and how you tore us all apart with the ending.” He says and Pedro fake cries remembering the ending.

“Hey, I didn’t want her to leave me. She went to go find herself.” He points his thumb at me and you slap it away, “I didn’t have a decision in it as well. You should have seen him on my final day of filming, so as you know this man over here was gone pretty much all of season three cause he was filming his show with his other kids.” Referencing Bella Ramsey and Nico Parker his two other ‘children’ in The Last Of Us.

“Pedro is just our favorite father figure.” The interviewer says and you nod in agreement. “You have too many children to keep count of.” You say and Pedro gives a sheepish grin.

“I’m just good with kids.” He shrugs.

“But anyways so since he was busy filming for that show we were able to have his amazing stunt doubles, I love you Brendan and Lateef become him. So comes my final scene where I leave and Din is left all sad with Grogu. I think he’s in Canada filming and we block out the scene Dave and Jon tell us we’re all set. That scene feels very close to me 'cause it feels like my goodbye to both the character and to the crew who’s been there since I was eighteen.” You remember the sadness that day on set knowing that this was your final hours with this group.

“So we start rolling and I go through my whole monologue,”

“Which was amazing by the way.” The interviewer butts in and you smile,

“Oh thank you. So I do my thing and who I think is Brendan just breaks down crying before he can say his line I panic and try to improvise to get him back on track but when Dave calls cut I expect it to be Brendan to take off the helmet and apologize but turns out it was this crybaby.” You point your thumb to an embarrassed Pedro.

“Did you expect no waterworks when you were leaving me?” He defends himself, “I didn’t expect you there in the first place! But it was sweet and after many takes because he couldn’t get through his lines without crying we finished my last scenes.”

“I have seen that video from Dave Filoni of the behind-the-scenes of your final day on set.” On the TV beside the interviewer plays a video that shows the set and crew and there are the two of you going through the scene before Jon calls cut.

You remember that take vividly it ended up being the one used for the final cut, the second ‘Cut!’ was shouted the crew broke into cheers. You immediately crouch and break into tears and Pedro removes his helmet pulling you into a bearhug crying into your shoulder you both cry out your characters and each other's final goodbyes on set.

“Give it up to Y/n for her final scene! That’s a wrap for her.” Dave says behind the camera as it moves closer to you and Pedro. Both of you were teary-eyed, Pedro looking like a wreck as you give a cheesy grin through tears and Pedro presses a kiss to your temple before pulling you into another tight hug and that’s when the video ends.

“A very heartfelt video that shows the bond you two have working together over five years.” He says and the two of you smile. Just being a part of the Star Wars franchise had been a dream, growing up watching the original and the prequels as a child and now being involved in this story was game-changing. “Outside of Star Wars, you’ve both been very busy Pedro with Wonder Woman, The Unbearable Weight, hosting SNL, and one of the most popular shows of this year The Last of Us.”

“Stop it you’re making me blush.” Pedro waves his hand acting bashfully, “Don’t forget the three Emmy nominations.” You pipe in and Pedro covers his face at all the compliments headed his way. This man was way too humble.

“You’re not off the hook either you’ve been very busy yourself, you got your nomination for an Emmy for ‘The Mandalorian’, you’ve been in Bullet Train, Across the Spider-Verse, In the Heights, the latest Indiana Jones, and you just wrapped up A Quiet Place: Day One, all while going to school and getting your college degree now finally enjoying adulthood, how is that like.” The interviewer reminds you of the work you’ve done in the past five years.

You laugh twisting the rings that adore your fingers, “I mean high school was easier as I had an on-set teacher and graduated right around in the middle of filming In the Heights. Then for college right as the pandemic hit we all were on lockdown I continued with online courses and once it lifted it was working a schedule of classes and work but all the films I’ve been on have been so accommodating. With the program I took I graduated right after we wrapped Season 3 and before the Press Tour,” Pedro makes a cheering noise as the interviewer laughs.

“I’m assuming you were in attendance for that Pedro?” He questions and Pedro nods enthusiastically, “Of course, I was there for both high school and college! I made a sign and everything.” He and the interviewer laugh as you shake your head.

“Did he?!”

“It was the same big sign with a bunch of horrible pictures of me I think it said, ‘Y/n L/n my unofficial daughter’ with like a bunch of hearts.” You can picture the sign clearly remembering both high school and college walking across the stage to receive your diploma and hearing your friends and family cheer Pedro being one of the loudest.

“Since graduating and now fully dedicating yourself to film how has it been?” The interviewer questions and you give a wide smile.

“I love it so much, while it was stressful balancing work and classes being done is so rewarding. I’ve been able to accept so many new projects and attend so many events I couldn’t before due to classes.” In college, you and your manager had discussed your schedule working around sets while focusing on your education. You decided to strictly do online courses just to make things easier if you do need to travel for work but you’ve been to school events and made friends in college despite your virtual learning.

“Is this the first time you are meeting back up in person since the premiere of Season Three?” He asks and it makes sense with your guys’ busy schedules.

“No surprisingly since we wrapped Season Three there was a time when we didn’t see each other, with Pedro busy with Strange Way of Life, and I had just ended college. Plus I just moved to New York and then got involved with A Quiet Place we didn’t see each other in person until I think it was when you hosted SNL..?” You explain and Pedro perks up.

“Nooo you were there for the premiere of The Last of Us.” He calls you out and your jaw drops you completely forget how busy and how many premieres it all blends. “I would say you kinda stole the show when you appeared on the carpet, none of us were expecting you to be there.” The interviewer says with a laugh.

“That would be an understatement. So it’s the night before the premiere I’m in LA and I think she’s still in New York I remember I called you cause I felt like I was going to die,” Pedro retells and you laugh remembering picking up the phone to see a very nervous Pedro who was pacing in a panic about the premiere for the show.

“You were fine just being a big baby as usual you did the same thing during season one.” He shushes you trying to cover your mouth with his hand but you dodge from it.

“ANYWAYS,” He raises his voice, “Night of the premiere and I feel like I’m going to puke and crap myself all at the same time. But I get there everything is alright I see the rest of the cast happy to see Bellie again all those good things. I’m doing an interview and I think Bella was still on the carpet taking some photos when this roar of cheers came from the beginning. I’m thinking it’s Ashley Johnson or Troy Baker the original Joel and Ellie but I can’t see from down there. So they want me to get some photos with Bella and how I couldn’t tell they were planning something is beyond me.” You and the interviewer start giggling and you see queued up is a video from that night.

“Oh god, you have a video!” Pedro groans covering his face and you nudge him forcing him to watch.

The shouts of fans and photographers as Pedro poses for photos and you can see Bella go over and pull him over as the pair take photos together. Pedro places his hand on his stomach a technique he has used for years to quell his anxiety. The flashing lights and screams of fans only grow louder for a second and he just laughs confused at them. Bella squeezes his arm from his right side and he can sense a presence on his left side and he assumes it’s another cast member.

“Hey P…” A voice whispers in his ear and his eyes widen comically and he whips to turn to face you who has a cheesy smile on your face.

“What the fuck!”

The cameras show Pedro quickly wrapping his arms around your waist and lifting you in the air and you laugh loudly before he puts you down and immediately talks rapidly questioning how you are here, how this happened, when you planned this, he had just called you a few hours before. The cameras start yelling at you two to pose and the pair of you pose a big grin spread across Pedro’s face. The video ends as he pulls Bella and Nico making it a group photo of all his on-screen daughters.

You laugh as it freezes at the photo of all of you smiling and laughing.

“I’m still in shock you managed to pull a fast one on me but that truly made my night,” Pedro says.

“It was all Bella and Nico’s planning I didn’t even know how they even managed to keep it from you during all those press tours. I was fully there like four days before the premiere,” You say, and on the screen are photos you had posted following the surprise of you hanging with Bella and Nico, and the rest of the last of us crew. One photo that makes you giggle is you standing before a snoring Pedro on a couch in a green room that you had Bella take for you when you snuck to watch their interviews.

“Speaking of Bella and Nico. I would say you including Sophie Thatcher blew up the internet in the ‘Children of Pedro’ interview,” The interviewer mentions and you smile and a thumbnail of the interview with you and these amazing actors and actresses.

“Oh, that interview was so much fun. It was the first time I met Bella and Nico as I worked alongside Sophie during Boba Fett and we all had this instant chemistry. Following that we all became good friends and we try to hang out when any of us are in town or plan stuff.” You explain and you see Pedro has a warm smile happy to see all the people he cares deeply for are friends, “Pedro’s glad all his children aren’t fighting.” You smirk and both the interviewer and Pedro laugh at your comment.

“I’m glad my home has some form of order,” Pedro bounces off your quip and the interviewer looks over some of his notes.

“Alright, I have some fan questions sent in for the both of you to answer if that’s alright.” He asks as both you and Pedro take sips from your drinks.

“Sounds great!” “Hit me with them.”

The interviewer nods excitedly looking over at you, “Alright Y/n we’ll start with you. This is a question from @pedroswife1975 ‘I was just as gagged at Pedro’s SNL performance I wanted to know if you had any clue of Pedro’s plans or did you go in just as blind as everyone else.’.” The screen shows a college work on Pedro’s SNL night.

“Oh, that was a crazy night, I was so excited to hear he was hosting SNL cause I was used to this guy’s craziness,” You say pointing a thumb at the older man, “I didn’t realize he was dropping hints or asking for my opinion like the fan cam skit he asked me about how I felt about like fan edits. To those watching I love them so much and genuinely lay in bed kicking my legs seeing the crazy shit yall make of me or people I know. Also, that fucking voice in the memory lost one.” Pedro bursts into laughter.

“What voice? This is my normal talking voice.” He flawlessly does the valley girl's voice that makes you speak through giggles.

“I think it was when he was in New York to rehearse for SNL and we’ve been meeting up and hanging out and we were at this cafe and he slips into this voice and I literally couldn’t help giggling,” You say, “So when I go to the taping I had to cover my mouth to stop from giggling everyone second.”

“It’s an amazing voice though.” The interviewer says in the valley girl accent, “Oh totally it’s completely amazingggg.” You respond by going heavy on the vocal fry unable to burst into a fit of giggles alongside Pedro.

“Okay, next question for Pedro. This is from @y/nssoulmate ‘I’m dying to know cause those Instagram photos were insane, but how crazy was Y/n’s 21st birthday?! Please I’m dying to know I’ll give my first child to know!!’.” You immediately groan covering your face and the pair laugh. On the screen appears a photo of your twenty-first birthday it’s partially blurry but it’s of you looking plastered. A ‘21’ crown halfway on your frizzy hair from the humidity of Pedro’s apartment that he transformed into a club vibe, a drunk grin on your face with an arm around Pedro’s shoulder the other holding a martini. Pedro is practically holding you up looking drunk as well as a beer in his free hand.

Pedro chuckles rubbing the back of his neck, “I’m going to be so honest I don’t remember much of that night. Someone thought it was a good idea to try and outdrink each other.”

“Hey! I was given full rein since it was my birthday. You were meant to be the responsible adult. Luckily Sarah Paulson and Oscar Issac were the actual adults that night,” You defend yourself. Truly that night was a blur but it was such a fun night. Your friends had taken you out for breakfast and a full day of celebration before you received a text from Pedro to go to his apartment to get his gift that he accidentally shipped to his place. Turns out it was a surprise and he was able to come back from shooting for The Last of Us and bring along your close friends and family.

“For my soulmate unfortunately neither Pedro nor I remember that night but trust from what those there that night it was the best birthday someone could through for me. Though I did avoid alcohol for like a month.” You say and Pedro groans remembering the hangout you both suffered the following day.

“Okay question for you Ms. Partyer. @imstillsadfromkazsdeath,” You laugh at hearing from the person’s social handle, “Their question is with news of both Wicked which you worked alongside Director John Chu during In the Heights, and Gladiator 2 has your co-star, Joseph Quinn, your father-figure Pedro, and your friend Paul Mescal coming out at the same time. Which are you seeing first Wicked or Gladiator 2?” On the screen, it shows a college of you with each respective person mentioned. A photo of you nineteen on set in New York City with John Chu and Lin Manuel Miranda, a picture of you and Pedro during premiere of season 3 of Mandalorian, a picture of you and Joseph Quinn on the set of A Quiet Place both dusty and covered in fake blood, and finally a picture of you and Paul Mescal at the this recent Met Gala a candid photo of inside the event talking during dinner.

“One more of a sidebar, I’m still sad about Kaz’s death if I could’ve changed it I would’ve both Freddy and I were so bummed filming those scenes. But for your question fuck you.” You answer so seriously that both Pedro and the interviewer burst into laughter.

“Seriously fuck you for making me choose. One I love John Chu and I am so excited to see Wicked I’ve been obsessed with it since a kid and I saw Idina and Kristin on Broadway so I need to see what Cynthia and Ariana do with this. But I also love all three guys and want to support them too 'cause I also love Gladiator and I know my father would be super betrayed since it’s our go-to movie to watch.” You were in such a rough spot.

“Can I clone myself?” You ask and both Pedro and the interviewer shake their head which makes you let out a frustrated groan, “You know what? I’ll see whatever movie I get invited to first. This leaves me not to choose it’s in the hands of John and the boys so they need to battle it out.”

“Wow, seriously such a cop-out,” Pedro whines and you shrug, “You can’t force me to decide if I don’t have the choice.”

“Very well played. Alright, our final question for Pedro from @pedroiszaddyfr they ask ‘Hey Pedro if I get chosen I’m absolutely in love with you and just want you to know that.”

“Aw, I love you too,” Pedro replies and the interviewer continues.

“So my question is in The Last of Us after season 1 in the books ‘The Last of Us: Where the Wild Things Are’ we do get introduced to Joel’s second biological daughter is there any potential plans to include them in the show making them canon since they aren’t in Part 2 and if so. Please for the love of all these mighty get Y/n to play your daughter she would kill the role!” The interviewer chuckles at the question and you look over at Pedro who thinks over the question.

“Well as I’m sure many of you do know in the books we do get an extremely interesting character that changes and adds more depth to the characters of the game. I’d love them to add her into the show and we see the change in Joel and Ellie during the period before season two. I mean I’d be so down for Y/n to be a part of this but that’s in the hands of Craig and Neil. Unless you know something I don’t?” Pedro turns to look at you and you raise your hands shaking your head.

“I’m just as clueless as you. But I would love to be a part of the show. I’ve read the book and she truly is such an interesting character. I mean that opening fight scene in the cabin before Joel and Tommy pull up is so fucking cool. But yeah Craig and Neil hit me up before Pedro starts begging and whining.” You say and a bark of laughter comes from the older man.

“Well thank you both so much for taking the time and talking about your lives and this amazing reunion. Is this the last you too will see each other until the next reunion?” The interviewer says.

“Nope! This girl can’t get rid of me now that we’re both back in New York for the time being.” Pedro says wrapping an arm around your shoulder and resting his head on top of yours.

“If anyone wants to take this old man off my hand you can have him,” You comment and Pedro gasps pushing you away from him as you giggle, “I’m kidding I love him and he’s amazing but yeah we got tickets for Beyonce coming up so I am very excited while I need this one to listen to her entire discography before we go,” You point your thumb at him and he raises his hand.

“Hey, I got a decent chunk under my belt. Plus I’ve known Beyonce longer than you.” Pedro says and the pair of you being bickering having that be the outro of the interview.

The pair of you collect your items from your dressing rooms before heading outside. Pedro has his arm wrapped around your shoulder to make sure you don’t bump into anything your gaze glued to your phone. The cool New York breeze sends chills down your spine as you scroll through Instagram. A buzz from your phone a text saying ‘Look up’ and when you look up you see Paul standing a few feet away in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt a trench coat over it with a cap and glasses.

“Paul!” You smile lowering your phone and pulling away from Pedro to go over to Paul who welcomes you in his arms, “I thought we were gonna meet at dinner?”

He shrugs a half grin on his face, “Thought I surprise you and then we can head together. What’s up Pedro” You smile at his thoughtfulness. Pedro accepts his handshake.

“Good to see you Paul, how’s the city treating you?” He asks knowing that Paul came here just a few days ago from London when you mentioned it.

“Good real good. You know how the city usually is but luckily I have a good guide,” Paul says squeezing your shoulder and you flush shying away. Pedro smiles glad to see you are happy as the pair of you look at each other with loving looks.

“Well, I’ll leave you both be to enjoy the rest of your night. I got plans to meet with Sarah and Lux soon,” He says giving Paul a handshake before you pull away and give Pedro a big hug which he equally reciprocates.

“Send Sarah and Lux my regards.” You say and Pedro nods, “Lux wants to see you soon so be sure to reach out to her.”

“I will and don’t forget we have drinks this Friday,” You say pointing your finger at him and he nods while pulling out his headphones.

“Yes, mom…” He rolls his eyes before starting to walk away sending a final wave, “Have a good night!”

“Bye Pedro.” “Bye P I love you!” You shout so he can hear over his headphones.

“Love you too kid!” He says blowing you a kiss before disappearing within the crowd. You bring your attention back to Paul who tucks a stray strand behind your ear.

“What are you looking at? Is something on my face?” You ask trying to reach for your face but he stops you holding your hand and giving a squeeze.

“I’m just looking at you, a chuisle mo chroí. You’re just beautiful is all.” He says slipping to Irish so easily it sends a shiver down your spine at his accent.

“Stop being so cheesy,” Your face flushes hot as you shove him away starting in the direction of the subway station. You hear him run up after you easily wrapping his arm around your waist before placing a kiss on your lips which you eagerly accept your hand reaching up to cup his cheek. Pulling away a bit, he gives a familiar smirk that makes you grin as you fully step back taking hand and the pair make their way to your plans.

“You’re such a sap.”

“A sap for you my love~”

“Shut up!”

a/n: y'all I'm alive I swear these finals have truly been killing me and TRUST, any paused work will be coming back I swear on my unborn child.

Chapter One: The Phantoms

You have been on your own since the fall of you clan and the Fall of Mandalore. Memories of the night of escaping Mandalore. The Empire has recently fallen which you naturally celebrated in the nearest cantina (aka finding a bounty.) in Tatooine. Little to your knowledge another Mandalorian visits the same cantina, starting a beautiful partnership.

Warnings: violence, blood, childhood trauma, trauma, mentions of death, din being super damn awkward and stubborn, and swearing

Masterlist

Chapter Two

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5 Years Ago

The celebration of the Empire falling was a big one for sure. People hollering and killing or beating the troopers down to a pulp. Some of the Empire soldiers left as soon as the rumor started, which brought the eyes of the civilians of Tatooine. You thought it was irony from what they did to Mandalore. You were not there when it fell, you were there when Vizsla was murdered by Maul. It took a while before Maul was overthrown by the Republic. It didn’t matter, the Empire soon after came and destroyed our planet our city.

When you fled a lot of Mandalorians dispersed throughout the whole universe. You would occasionally come into contact with other Mandalorians through the galaxy. The more of the Empire grew the less you saw Mandalorians. We hid more and became space rats, gathering food, and credits to survive. That’s why some of us joined creeds or just became solo bounty hunters.

You leaned against the wall of a cantina, you wore your beat up Mandalorian armour. Your helmet was Vassk with silver baskar parts and blue paint melded into the armor. However with not being able to upgrade is that it was battered down, scraped up, and some pieces destroyed.

While everyone celebrated you were sent to do a job. It would be easy to track and grab the target. You were a freelance bounty hunter, haven’t found a creed to stick to. Fireworks went off near the Hutt palace, you watched as it lit up the sky. Bringing back memories as a child, watching the missiles fly and hit buildings around you, as you ran for cover.

“Fuck the Empire!” your thoughts were interrupted as a flying glass flew passed you vision and hitting a speeder bike. The poor scout was flooded over with people beating him to death.

You looked over at the crowd and saw your target. They were wanted for killing the clients children, he was also a Devaronian, so he was naturally tall. Devaronians are not a joke, the last time you went toe to toe with one they broke your collarbone. Almost killing you, if you weren’t able to stab them with a wooden spoon you could have fire yourself.

His name was Jovur Ceihk, the children wasn’t the only crime he has committed, he has murdered tons and tons of people, theft, kidnapping, and smuggling. Jovur stumbled passed you and into the cantina you were leaning against. You followed him giving a couple minutes of space. You leaned off of the wall and started to walk into the cantina.

It was busy people singing, cheering, and drunk off their minds. You watched the small screen that showed Coruscant, people taking down statues of the past rulers, troopers. Fireworks going off with celebration everywhere, you could see people very happy. You were relieved but this Empire doesn’t help you survive.

You couldn’t help but to think who would be the next one to “rule.” All the men and women you came in counter with were hierarchy rulers, wanting to take instead of serve. Dishonorable. You sighed looking around for Jovur, you saw him next to another Devaronian, that one was much bigger. “Great.” You shifted through the crowd to make your way to him.

Until you caught a glimpse of another armored person. You snapped you head up to see them sitting in the corner watching carefully. Your blood ran cold as you stared into their visor. A Mandalorian. They got up as they noticed who you were going towards, so you quickly and purposefully ran into Jovur.

“Watch what you are doing yelp.” He growled down at you, usually others would cower down or shake out a sorry.

However Jovur and his friend haven’t met you yet. “Oh man, couldn’t help myself people pushing others and all. You are Jovur?”

His friend snapped his head towards him then looked into you black visor. The ‘t’ shaped looking at Jovur, ignoring the death glare. “Who’s asking?”

You pulled out the puck fiddling with it. “Ya know one of the highest clients to ask. You can come nicely so people can…” His friend smashed his cup on your head.

It didn’t really do anything but slowly look over at him. He started to grunt and growl at you, you knew it was him talking in his language, so you turned to face Jovur, pointing your hand towards him. “Care to translate?”

“He said your a dead Mandalorian.” He growled throwing a punch at you, you already had a knife at the end of your boot just in case it was going to go south.

You kicked his friend with the knife in his side while dodging Jovur’s swing. His friend howled as you grabbed up to Jovur horns, pulling him down to jab your boot in his shoulder and kicked him away. He stumbled backwards into other people, as they tried to yell at him, I pulled out my blaster pistol and shot his friend in the side, with no work on it he charged and slammed into me.

With a grunt we both went flying to the ground. You pulled out a knife from your side and jabbed it into his eye, he yelled loudly as he tried to pry out of his eyes but you jabbed more into it and kneeing him in his good parts. You pulled out a smaller knife and jabbed it into his other eye, he lifted himself up and was frantically trying to pull them out. He was angry, oh you knew that but the last time you encountered one of these beasts, you almost died.

They might be bigger yes but if you blind the mud horn it can’t charge. “Take it outside you two!” The bartender yelled. Two?

You snapped your head to find no Jovur. Your patience no on thin ice you realized the other Mandalorian wasn’t to be seen. “Oh Maker.” You grunted looking over at the Devaronian. “Sorry man gotta go, hope your eyesight get better.” You bolted out pushing people out of the way. They moved quickly some of them, the ones sober.

You remembered the time on Mandalore talking to your foundling mother, while getting prepared for your armor. You were 14 receiving your own armor or getting ready to at this time. You were given the underclothing to be able to place the armor on you. Your foundling mother watching, you never got to see her face until she died.

“Mother,” You whispered walking towards her. “Do we get our signet today?”

She tilted her helmet down towards you. “Not yet my cub. Someday when we both work on missions together to bring Mandalore back to how it was.”

You looked puzzling towards her. “Are we almost there?”

She went quiet. “No no we are not,” It was silent for a moment as you frowned. She lifted you chin up towards her visor. “Don’t worry we will. Let’s meet with the armorer.”

You made sure you were on top of the sand duned buildings, using your scanner that popped in front of your visor. You used heat vision to do so. There was so many people that it worried you that you lost both the bastard Mandalorian and Devaronian. People now throwing any kind of fireworks in the air, sparking sticks, and some things that pop on the ground making it almost impossible to see. You almost gave up until you remembered a training session.

You were about 18 at this time training a bit more for the take over of the throne. You were a bit nervous just because unlike many others, you didn’t like how they planned on taking over. You thought it was a terrorist action, people killing, and trying to overthrow Satine. Yes it wasn’t right on how she was running their world, it should be how it has always been. That is what you were taught in your belief lessons.

You almost had your target that was set up until the other Mandalorian teen beat you to it. You immediately stopped thinking it was over until your foundling mother yelled to continue. Confused you and the other one started to go hand to hand, eventually you pinned him and we were ordered to stop.

Panting you stared at her, you knew she was disappointed by how her body language was. It was silent all the way back up to camp, you walked with her side to side. You knew not to talk until she did about things like this. You remembered the last time you did you had to scrape up any animals that they had feces up until it didn’t smell at all period.

She spoke right before you both were on the borderline of the camp. “When your prey is taken by another hunter, don’t give up on the hunt. The hunter is now the hunted.”

You jumped roof to roof and found both of them. You smirked underneath the helmet and jumped down, behind them. You waited for the opportunity to eject your wire to wrap around the Mandalorian’s legs. There was dust gathered up and a oof, you detached it and sprinted towards Jovur. He tried to sprint away with no luck as you tackled him. “Gotcha.”

You then felt a line around your neck. You forcefully slammed into the ground and was sliding against the dust ground. You were able to slip your fingers between the wire and you neck giving some breathing room. People either walked over you or just stared. You scrambled your feet to try to lift up with no success. When you felt that your body stopped being dragged you looked up to see the other Mandalorian looking down at you.

“Hey.” You croaked since the line was tight around your neck. He didn’t say anything but instead tried to throw a punch in your face.

You blocked it and kicked your legs to his helmet having him stubble back. You rolled to the side and intertwined your arm with the wire pulling him closer. You elbowed him in the throat hearing him gurgling a bit as he kicked you in the stomach.

You felt your lunch come up before swallowing back down. You pulled the wire to have him swing down, slamming into the sand. You turned around to see the Javur gone. “Oh for kriffs sake.” You whispered having your scope come down and scanned the area but was soon pushed down.

The Mandalorian was above you pinning you down wrapping your arm behind your back and lifting up. “I caught him before you.” He panted out. His voice was a bit deep, silky. You tried to push up but he used his weight even harder on your back.

“Ohh hohoho no buddy you caught him once he was injured so to be fair I did.” You argued still trying your best to lift up. “Plus he is already heading to the docks, so how about we make a truce and split whatever.” You offered praying to the Maker he would take it.

For how much this dimwit was it was still enough for you to have a room and food for a couple of days. The Mandalorian groaned in frustration. “10%.”

You laughed a bit. “50%.”

“30.”

“40.”

“Fine.” He exhaled the word as he cut the wire and lifted his body up off of you.

Once you regained you balance you looked at him. “That wasn’t nice.” He didn’t say anything but started to run towards the docks.

You both pushed people out of the way as you saw the tall red man. “There.” You said as you caught up next to him. “I will take the sky while you stay below?”

He snapped his head over. “How do I know you just wire him up?”

“Lucky for you that was the last time,” You sighed and rolled you head a bit almost slamming into a woman. “This is the Way Mando.”

It like that shut him up for good as he just nodded. You saw a stack of boxes that led to the roof of a building. You sprinted and jumped until you reached to the top.

“Sometimes cub you will have to make alliances with you to succeed. When you do, you can’t and will not betray that trust. For it would be a dishonor.” Your foundling mother instructed as you both sat over the ridge. You were 5, you promised to help someone get there things back (like a some stupid doll.) But kept it for yourself.

“Yes mother.” You whispered feeling embarrassed and ashamed.

You felt her hand on your shoulder. “You will fit it one day, the others don’t understand just yet. They have been born into this clan but you…you were special to be welcomed in,” You turned to her looking into her visor. “You will always be special to me cub. This is the Way.”

You have always hated allowances, you felt that you would be cut short or betrayed. So you tried to do it before them however, you never have done that with a Mandalorian, it would bring you to that lesson that conversation. You didn’t care if it was pirates or some other kind of bounty hunter.

You caught up to Jovur and leaped to land on him. You both rolled until you had your knee against his back. “For a big horned dude you are fast.” You panted as you pulled his arms up to bring that pinpointed pain in his shoulder blade.

You heard footsteps behind you, the Mandalorian looked down at the both of you. “Done?” He asked.

“Oh eat a womp rat Mando.” You snapped before pulling him up. You pushed Jovur to him. “Since I caught him you get to walk it.”

It was quiet between the three of you, obviously Jovur was not saying anything due to knowing he was caught and no way out. I didn’t want to talk at all to anyone, was hungry and tired. Mando, seems like he isn’t just a talkative dude. People still cheering as the sun rose slowly from afar, the moons disappearing. It reminded you of the last time you saw you mother.

You and your Foundling Mother were the only ones left. You landed on a planet that was similar to Coruscant if it was a dump. It was most for ports for smuggling. It had two moons beautiful but barely noticeable from the smoke of the factories. That’s where she died, was helping smuggling some red sand until we found that it was a bust. You sighed as the Mandalorian paused and looked over at you.

“What?” You asked looking around to see a big ass ship.

“Where’s your ship?” He asked while the ramp came down.

You watched as it came towards you guys. “I don’t have one.” You whispered, you would hope that he didn’t realize that and moved on but here you are.

“This is going to shorten the cut,” He said casually while walking up the ramp. “For fuel.”

“Fuel?” You mumbled.

“I am not a taxi service.” He grumbled as he tossed Jovur to you.

You grunted and looked up at him. “This fucking guy.” You mumbled.

Juvor nodded his head as he sat down on one of the seats. You kept a good eye on him as you flew through whatever was making you fly through. Juvor actually fell asleep and wasn’t giving any more issues even when landing. Mando came down the ladder and grabbed Juvor by the arm lifting him up.

“Where are we?” You asked as the hatches opened.

Once you were able to see everything it was just a small town ahead, it had an arch for you to go under to walk inside the small area. You looked over at Mando and he walked forward. You passed every sort of different species and hunters. The would stare in awe as both of you passed by them.

Mando looked straight ahead ignoring the onlookers. You then noticed when walking through sticks with stormtrooper helmets on top of them. They were bloodied and little mud on them, some visors broken. Good celebration here as well.

You noticed as you walked up to what you assumed was a cantina, two large Gamorreans. At first you thought you landed on the other side of Tatooine, you never seen them anywhere else. They followed you in as the cantina went quiet, a middle age black man stood up. “Mando once again you have ceased to…” He paused looking over at me. “Looks like you found yourself a girlfriend.”

“No temporary alliance.” He mumbled looked at him back then the two Gamorreans.

“Don’t worry they are here for him.” The man explained as the two Gamorreans took Juvor away. We watched as he tried to fight but on of them stabbed him with one of their staffs making him scream before pulling him out. Mando sat in the booth across from the man and I followed suite sitting next to him.

I studied him, he seemed well kept for what it looks like out there. His clothing seemed pretty nice as well. His facial hair well trimmed and he seemed nice but never could be too careful. The man sighed and pulled out credits. “Better use these fast since the Empire is gone,” Mando quickly grabbed them and overlooked it with a firm nod he placed them in a pouch. You glared at him before the man spoke. "I have a big puck for you Mando but before we discuss this puck...You," You snapped your head over. "Are you a true Mandalorian?"

You glared at his finger and stared at it for a moment before he retracted it and sat awkwardly. You nodded my head. "Yes I am."

He waited to see if you were going to state anything else before clearing his throat. "All Mandalorians are the same huh? Are you in any Creed?" You shook my head, sharply. "Well good you are now, my name is Greef Karga, if you want good jobs you come to me," He paused then closed his eyes for a moment then turned his head to Mando. "Alright Mando you won't like what this puck requires...this puck is a team up type job." He placed the puck down and a Bivall popped up, it caught your eyes just because she worked with the one and only Emperor Palpatine. Her head was to be brought to the client themselves. It was worth a lot of credits: 10,000. It stated her name which was Sionver Boll that was it, no location. You sighed loudly and shook your head firmly.

"No, I work alone." You said quickly, still shaking your head.

"I agree." Mando mumbled loud enough for all three of you to hear.

Greef sighed. "Well Mando it requires two participants, if not I can give it to..."

"We will take it," Mando replied quickly as you snapped your head. "Where was she last sighted, do you know?"

"Yes, she was last sighted at Coruscant once the glorified Emperor was killed, she fled." He stated before folding his arms smirking. "I would start there." Mando nudged my leg indicating to get out of the booth. You sighed irritated before scooting out and stood waiting for him to get out. He started towards the door and you looked down at Greef. "Good luck he is hard to work with."

You nodded you head before sighing out. "You are telling me." When you got out of the cantina he was waiting outside for you and starting walking into the alleyways. You followed closely as it became more packed, passing some vendors yelling towards the both of you in a different language. You both trekked on, until there was a hole in the wall, he barely looked over at you and led you in. You pushed the cloth make shifted door and walked down steps, it got darker until you reached the bottom.

The long hallway had people inside you waited until he walked through the arch way and you followed. It still being dim you noticed that there was other Mandalorians, your heart skipped. You watched as some started to stare at you when walking through the long hallway, you stared back not scared of them, but you were cautious. You thought that Mandalorians didn't stay in one area, you were told to split. You saw that Mando was ahead, so you walked faster until he stopped and looked at you. "The armor."

You slowly looked over and saw a Mandalorian woman fixing a weapon, hitting the hammer down on it. You thought she didn't even notice you until she paused and slowly looked up at you. "Clan Vizsla, you have some of your brothers and sisters here. Many haven't come back but they are here," You didn't know what to feel, relieved, comforted, angry, tired. You couldn't believe an amorer was here, in front of you. "I know who you are y/n, you were there when the reign of Maul happened, left with your foundling mother, as did others. You were young, yes?" She explained a bit looking over at you.

You nodded and inhaled deeply. "Yes, I was."

She nodded before walking over to you. "Children of the Watch is what we are now, living and collecting...have you forgotten the ways of Mandalore?"

"No, I have not." You quickly said looking right into her visor. Her armor was beautiful, the gold and the red mixing in as what the legend of the Pheonix was.

"Have you removed your helmet?"

You felt your heart racing, you never did, you almost had plenty of times due to fighting or being knocked on conscious. However, none of your enemies truly pulled it off. You felt Mando's eyes on you, why did he bring you here if he didn't trust you, let alone just meeting a few hours. "No I have not."

"Good. I am surprised that he has brought you here for only working together once." She said almost asking it as a question.

"I saw how her armor is. I noticed it on others here." Mando answered pointing to your gauntlet part of your armor, the blue indicating it.

You looked around and noticed that other Mandalorians were gathering, nosey buggers. You felt like they can and always will be. Some were head taller than you, mind you Mando is almost the same height as them, he towers over you. Some were women, some men, mostly men. You hoped that someone here you would recognize back at Mandalore.

"I see," The armor said slowly. "You need a little fix on your chest plate, for you staying now. I will fix it before you head to your next destination."

You nodded and walked into the room that she was in, it was roomy, rightfully so due to what she needed to create. When you took off your chest plate you placed it on the small table then sat in front of it. "Night of Thousands of Tears were you there?" She asked grabbing the chest plate.

"Unfortunately, I wasn't able to return after the reign of Maul." You said, your voice little shaky from the thought of how your world is now in shambles.

She nodded and walked over to place it down. "That is very unfortunate," She overlooked it then slightly looked over her shoulder to Mando. "You will show her the way that we live now, whenever she understands it, you may depart. It will be your choice," It was silent until Mando accepted her words. She inhaled before slamming the hammer down. "This is the Way."
