Hiya Guys!
As the usual, I don't own Wreck-It Ralph nor it's characters. I do however own my character, which will be introduced in a later chapter.
So yeah, here's the first chapter.
Enjoy~
"Kohut." Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun barked as she stopped at an unusual metal door. The door seemed to blend into the walls beside it. It didn't have a handle, nor was it labeled. The soldier beside her stopped moving.
"What is it Sarge?" Kohut asked. He was one of the very few who wasn't completely scared of his commanding officer.
"Have you ever seen this door before?" Tamora asked as she tilted her head to examine the door. Their game, Hero's Duty, had been plugged in for over a year now, and not once on her many times of patrolling the tower had she noticed it.
"I can't say I have Sarge." Kohut said, his curiosity now peaked at the strange door.
"Alright, carry on." Calhoun ordered. While she was interested in the door, they still had to finish checking the perimeter. Their top most priority was keeping the civilians of Litwak's Arcade safe and free of cy-bug attacks. She could always come back and investigate the strange door later.
On her way back to her office, Tamora walked by the area that she and Kohut had seen the strange door. She, however, could not find it.
That's strange. I know it was around this area somewhere. Tamora thought to herself. She had made a mark on her holographic map.
"Sarge?" Kohut's voice called from her communicator.
"What?"
"Felix is here ma'am. He's waiting for you in your office."
"Understood." Tamora smiled. She and the handyman had been together for almost a year. He was the light in her dark life.
Taking one last glimpse around, she continued her off to meet her husband in her office.
"Hi honey!" Felix exclaimed happily. He was sitting in one of the spare chairs by her desk.
"Hey short stack." Tamora said. She walked over to Felix, grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and kissed him passionately. Felix placed both hands on either side of her face as he deepened the kiss.
After a few moments, they pulled apart. Tamora placed him back on the ground. Felix turned slightly red. "It's nice to see you too Tammy."
"How was your day?" She questioned as she sat in her chair and finished some paperwork.
"Just dandy! All the players did such a good job." Felix said as he stood beside his wife. He loved the simple times like this. Even if it was just him admiring her HD features while she was preoccupied with paperwork. He frowned slightly. He could tell something was bothering her.
"Everything okay Tammy?"
Tamora gave him a small smile. "Yeah, everything's fine." She said as she knocked his hat down over his eyes teasingly.
"Tammy…" Felix scolded as he fixed his hat. "I'm your husband. I know when something's bothering you. Please, tell me."
Tamora sighed. She hated when he pleaded with her. "It's nothing really. I just found a mysterious door today. Neither myself nor Kohut has seen it before. And I walk that hallway all the time. I had the weirdest feeling about it. "
"Did you check it out?"
"No, we had to finish doing our perimeter check." Tamora explained. She had no idea why it was bothering her so much, but it was.
"I'm sure it's nothing serious Tammy. You can always check it out tomorrow. I mean since it's Sunday, we can come back and check it out if you want." Felix offered.
"What do you mean 'we', soldier? You're not coming."
"But Tammy! What if it's something dangerous?" Felix whined. Even though he knew that Tamora was perfectly capable of taking care of herself, it was his duty as her husband to at least try and protect her.
"Exactly. That's why I can't let you come short stack." Tamora took a breath as memories of whatever being behind that door taking Felix from her. She wouldn't, no couldn't, deal with losing him. He was the most important thing in her world, just imaging the worst upset her.
"But Tammy!" Felix protested.
"NO!" Tamora growled in her commanding voice. Felix froze for a second, startled by her sudden change. He had only ever heard her use that tone with her soldiers, and it meant that there was no room for discussion. "I can't lose you Felix. I won't take that chance." She whispered.
Felix pulled her into a hug, and began rubbing soothing circles on her back. He could hear the pain in her words. He sighed, knowing full well that she would win this argument. The last thing he ever wanted to do was upset her, and he had managed to do so.
"Okay Tammy. I'll stay away. Just don't be mad at me, I didn't mean to make you upset. I'm just trying to be the husband I should be." Felix explained. He hated feeling so useless. He wasn't tall or strong, unlike all the men that the sergeant commanded.
"You already are the husband I need you to be." Tamora said. "What would make you think that?"
"But I'm not tall. I'm not strong. I can't protect you." He mumbled, looking down at the ground.
"Felix, look at me." Tamora said. Felix didn't move however. Tamora placed her hands on his face and forced him to look at her. "Listen to me. I don't care that you're not tall. I don't care that you're not strong. You don't need to protect me, physically. You protect me mentally. You're there when I need you. Whenever I start feeling low. You're there when my nightmares scare me to the point I can't sleep. Those are the reasons I married you. Those are the reasons I love you. Don't you ever think that you need to change, I love you the way you are."
"Thank Tammy. I love you too." Felix said as he kissed her again. "Let's head home."
Tamora nodded in agreement and picked up her hoverboard. She and Felix hopped on and headed to their home in Fix-It Felix Jr.
