Ch. 1

The sun shines through the giant window leading to the balcony, right next to the Traveler. I try getting up but my body is sore from Crucible yesterday. Mayhem truly does live to its name. I manage to get up and walk out of my room. I look inside the empty room that my roommate would live in- if I had one. My previous one moved out because he found a house down in the Last City. We're still good friends, he's a gunslinger Hunter, his name is Arcane-10: obviously an Exo. So I've been living on my own for a long while. Usually I'd have a roommate by now, but I guess I'm lucky. I decide to shower to see if I can shake off some soreness. All over my body I see cuts, bruises, and red marks. Even as a Titan, it hurts like a bitch. After I shower I make myself some breakfast and I sit down on the couch to watch TV.

"Ahhhhh, good morning Jason." I hear from my left. I turn to see Pyro- my ghost- barely waking up. "Mornin' Pyro. Any news from the Vanguard?" He just shakes his shell, "Nothin, guess we should report later for whatever they assign us today." "As usual," I sigh. Lately, I've been sent on patrol missions to scout uncharted lands. Supposedly, the Vanguard hope to expand to retake lost lands. I don't complain, I tend to have fun whenever I go, whether it be sparrow racing with my fireteam if I get paired with one or just taking in the fresh air when solo. But still, I hope to get some change to my routine soon.

As if on cue, my doorbell rings, "I think I spoke to soon." Pyro turns to me before getting the door, "What was that?" I snap up and quickly reply, "Nothing…nothing." Pyro opens the door and in walks Cayde-6, the Hunter Vanguard. "Morning Jay, sleep well?" I smile and reply, "Yes I did Caydey, thanks for asking." He just chuckles, then I continue, "What's up? New mission?" Cayde replies nervously, "Well yeah um, it's not like any other you've done." I just laugh and reply, "I think I can handle whatever you throw at me." "Alrighty then," he looks outside and calls out, " Come on in!"

In walks a new guardian, a Hunter I would assume. She has hair in a mix of brown and dark red, with big brown eyes, small lips, with a slight tan. Body wise, she has an hourglass shape with a flat stomach. Truly fit enough for a Hunter. "Hiya! Names Leslie. And who are you?" "This man," says Cayde, " is your mentor. Just because he's a Titan doesn't mean he can't teach you valuable skills. Therefore," he looks at both of us before finishing, "you are his new roomate." The silence was there, until I broke it.

"WHHHAAAAAAATTTTTTTT?!" I pulled Cayde aside quickly. "Cayde, you know the rules; male and female guardians can't dorm together. So why is she my roommate?" Cayde looked at me and said, "Well err, she's a bit of a airhead." We look back at her to see her trying to figure out the advanced technology that is the TV remote. "Point taken. But still." Cayde looked at me for a while. Finally, I gave up. "Fine, I'll do it." Cayde smiled and turned to Leslie "Congrats Leslie, meet your new roommate." She gave up on the remote and jumped with joy and running to me, squeezing me the best to her ability. She summoned her ghost and he spawned a suitcase. Cayde walked towards the door and said, "Enjoy your stay."

I showed her to the vacant room so she can unpack. In the meantime, Cayde sent me a message, according to Pyro. "Hey Guardian, it's me again. You're hereby free from duty until you're associated with your new partner. Enjoy" Transmission end. "Cayde, you son of a-" "Easy there Jason, no need to be upset!" I relax a bit, and decide what we're gonna do. "I got it!" Leslie walks out with a confused face. I yell, "To the shooting gallery!"

[Later]

"How about this?" I drop my First Curse in her hands. She tries to aim the weapon but she can barely hold the barrel straight. "Too heavy for a pistol, don'tcha think?" she complains. "Hand Cannon. It's called a Hand Cannon." I repeat for the millionth time. "Oh, guess I forgot." She genuinely looks like she's serious. I guess she really is an airhead. Of all people, why did Cayde pick me to care for this nutjob? She'll be killed on her first mission. No, I can't let that happen. I can't- "Mister Jason?" I get snapped back into reality from my thoughts and I see her looking down at my waist. I start to get red and I step back, "Y-yeah? What is it? And just call me Jason." She points to my Imago Loop hanging on my side, "Can I try that one?" I unclip the gun and hand it to her, "Sure, it's my personal weapon but you can give it a try." She aims the weapon with ease, probably because the thing is light. "Wow, this is so much easier to hold. Can I fire it?" "Go ahead." I stand behind her to make sure she's aiming it right. As soon as she pulls the trigger she gets pushed back…right into me.

I hit my head on the floor kinda hard but it was nothing compared to what I've been hit with. When I come to, Leslie was sitting on top of me staring me down, concern obviously on her face. "Jason? Are you okay? Thank you for breaking my fall." I rub my head, "Ouch, no problem." I try getting up until I realize how she's sitting on me. "Umm, Leslie? Can you-" And at that moment, my Warlock friend Alex Nova walks into the range, "Jason! I knew I'd find you here. Can you…am I interrupting something?" He saw how Leslie was sitting on me and I quickly jumped up. "Hey dude, nice catch, she your new someone?" I glare at him before I start talking, "Well actually, she's my-" "I'm mister Jason's roommate!" She exclaims with joy. "Woah dude, you finally got a new roommate? Bout time." "Yeah," I respond, "Her name is Leslie. Leslie, this is my best friend." "Nice to meet you, I'm Alex Nova, a Voidwalker Warlock. I see you're warming up to my friend here quite well Leslie." A big smile comes across her face, "Oh yes, Jason has been super nice to me ever since I moved in. He even cooked me dinner last night. It was so yummy!" Alex turns to me, "How come you don't cook me any food?" "Shut up." He laughs and continues, "Well it was nice meeting you, I have a mission to get to. I was gonna invite you but I see you have your hands filled. Catcha later!" He runs out, leaving me and Leslie alone. Again. For once I actually wish the annoying bastard was still here.

"Okay, now it's time to do something I want to do!" she quickly says. Oh damn, that was the deal. "Let's go shopping!" Traveler help me.
