(y/n)'s pace quickened as she wandered down the winding corridors of the expansive compound. She held tight to the small stack of envelopes she carried as she rushed to her room. The young fighter turned a corner, charging straight into an iron-like chest and cool metal arms, the impact knocked her to the ground.
Jax scoffed at the girl sprawled out on the ground. "You should watch where you're going."
"That would probably be smart."mumbled the girl as she started to gather the letters that had scattered when she fell. The special forces officer helped her gather together the fallen papers.
"What's your rush anyway?" he inquired pausing to look at one of the letters.
Her face turned a brilliant red as she snatched the envelope from his hands. "Mail finally got here, and I've been expecting a letter from home, and well, I wanted some privacy when I read it." she confessed.
"Why, is there smut in it?" he chuckled and reached for her mail.
(y/n) clutched the letters close to her chest and jumped a step back. "Of course not!" she shrieked. "It's just...personal."
"Whatever you tell yourself." he laughed. "I should probably check my mail before Johnny steals my magazines, again."
As he left, she took off running to her private quarters. She flickered the lights on and plopped down on her bed before shorting through the envelopes to find the most recent one (it had a fireworks stamp on it where the others had flowers, hearts, or Christmas trees). The youngest of Earthrealm's warriors took a moment to savor the look of her lover's handwriting on the address.
This was always the hardest part, not having to do battle with ancient sorcerers, fighting monsters straight out of nightmares, not the ludicrous amounts of time spent training or the stress that comes from knowing the fate of the entire world could depend on you. No, it was having to deal with all the pressure so far away from home, from her friends, family, from the ones worth fighting for. From Jamie.
She opened the letter and savored the scents of home that still lingered on the paper before she begun to read:
"Dearest (y/n),
I've started to worry. Have you been getting my letters? Are you alright?
(y/n) there is something I need to tell you, I would have preferred to say it in person, however we both know that is not possible. So here it is: We're over.
I thought I could do this but I can't. Staying up all night worrying about someone I haven't seen in over half a year, never hearing from you, having no idea what goes on in your life, what kind of relationship is that?
I don't blame you. I can't blame you. It's just the way thing are. I'm not strong enough.
You should know, there's someone else. We've been seeing each other for a while now and I..."
(y/n) set the paper down on the bed, unable to read anymore. A few stray tears wandered down her face. How could (he /she)? (He/ She) was her one hope at a normal life, her one contact with the world she fought so desperately to protect. Every time she raised her fists to battle, every time she got back up, every scratch and bruise had been for Jamie, so ( he/ she) could go on living a normal life.
All her pain and sacrifice had been so carelessly tossed aside. It was to much to bare. She fled from the letter, from the room. How could (he/ she). How dare (he/ she).
(y/n) jaw clenched with hate. Perhaps all the time she'd spent training with the world's most vicious fighters was rubbing off on her, because as she clattered down the halls, all she thought of was revenge, making (him/her) feel what she did, making (him/ her) hurt, and know betrayal.
These thoughts whirled around in her mind as she turned the same blind corner as earlier, the one that had caused her to run into Jax, only this timeā¦
