Welcome back everyone, hope that you're having a better day than me (looks at physics project), and let's answer some questions in the review!
Kingeddie16ne: I had originally thought about it but no. This story will strictly be a Valkyrie x Tiger with a bit of drama thrown in to add to the plot.
The Critic: Contrary to your name huh? XD But great question actually. So I figured that "Tiger" would have a similar playstyle to Caveira to where he bullies people that don't pay attention to their surroundings but that's every Operator so it would be like if he gets close to you then you're dead in one hit or some shit. I will make a Operator stylesheet for him near the end because there is one other feature that he will have that makes him unique and the way that I'm writing it is like any other novel. In IRL, he would probably be better as a private bodyguard than an anti-terrorist soldier if I was completely honest with myself. Great question and I hope that I have more of those to answer.
That's all the questions so let's read!
-X-
A constant knocking sound made Finka turn to her right and smiled as she saw Tiger waving at her from behind the plastic film of the containment unit. He held up a plastic bag and her stomach rumbled at the thought of food much to her own embarrassment.
Finka quickly finished up her work before walking through the decontamination tent as it hosed her down and the buzzer buzzed to announce that the process was complete.
"Well that's nice of you Tiger." Finka smiled as she took off her mask and set it down on a crate beside her, "I was just about to get a late night snack from the mess hall in a little bit."
"No offense to the cooks but they don't know much about flavor." Tiger said while sitting down on a much longer crate, "It is good for your body but it doesn't taste like anything at all."
"I can agree to that." She laughed before peeling off her gear and dropped them to the ground next to her, sweat soaking into her undergarments and shirt. (For a more clearer picture, look up Finka by Ganassa}
Tiger's eyes widened as he watched her undress before him before quickly turning in the other direction, averting his eyes out of respect.
"What's this?" Finka teased as she slipped her legs through a new pair of combat pants and threw on a sweatshirt, "The cool and mysterious Tiger that can rip through hordes of enemies using only his hands is suddenly embarrassed by being in the presence of a half-naked woman?"
"Well..." Tiger said while rubbing his head in embarrassment.
"I'm just joking with you Tiger!" Finka laughed as she smacked him on the back and sat down beside him, "So what did you bring me?"
"A bit of local food that I managed to buy off a passing vendor." He said before taking out a foam box filled to the absolute brim with tacos with a few assorted cups of queso, Tapatio, and some jalapenos, "I gave him about twenty bucks and he just gave me all of this."
"Pretty good deal if you ask me." She said before dipping one of the tacos into the queso, "I thought that you were supposed to be on the next mission to retrieve that space probe from someone's garage?"
"Ash said that Thermite, Doc, and Lion should be able to handle it and that she told everyone to get ready to return to Command." He said while tying his boots, "She also said that if I wanted then I could go and live there with you guys as well."
"Really?!"
Tiger looked to see Finka smile brightly before she turned away in embarrassment.
"Do you not want me to live at Command or-"
"No, no, no!" She exclaimed while waving her hands in front of him, "That's no what I meant!"
"Really?" Tiger asked while scratching the back of his head, "Then what did you mean?"
"Ah never mind."
They sat there eating through the mountain of tacos as they exchanged stories between each other. Finka found out that Tiger had jumped of a cliff and into freezing water on multiple occasions to escape practice. He found out that she was featured in a modeling magazine promoting the Russian military cause and that her fan base was through the roof.
"So why did you check me out during debriefing?" Finka asked as she lifted a taco up to her mouth before teasing him, "You looking for a new girlfriend already or-"
"You are sick."
Her jaw hung open as she paled before gently setting the taco down and asked, "How can you tell?"
"Your body itself is out of balance." He said while touching the underside of her wrists and parts of her head, "Your meridian is blocked and you didn't react to any of the pressure points that I had applied pressure onto earlier. So it had left me two options; that either you were really good at hiding your emotions or something was wrong with your nervous system."
"Meridian?"
"Ancient Chinese term when referencing parts of your internal body."
"Ahh."
"I'm guessing only a few know about your condition seeing how you acted?"
"The only other person in Rainbow that knows about my condition is Doc." Finka said before taking his hand in both of hers, "Please, just keep this between us. I don't want others to know."
"Why though? They're your friends." Tiger said as his eyebrows scrunched up in confusion, "They deserve to know."
"I know but-"
"Comrade Tiger!"
They both turned to see Tachanka burst into the room along with Thermite and Valkyrie.
"We got the-"
He looked down and saw them holding hands before chuckling, "It appears that you are busy no?"
Tiger and Finka both looked down at their hands before quickly breaking apart and blushed hard as they corrected themselves.
"I think that we should just leave the lovebirds to themselves." Thermite suggested as Valkyrie seethed at the sight and suggestion.
"No, no, no! We're not-"
"Whatever you guys are doing isn't my business alright I get it." Thermite said before jerking his thumb behind him, "We got the capsule that's apparently responsible for this mess."
Tiger and Finka looked at each other for a second before joining the three to see the capsule.
-x-
It looked like something out of an old museum that had been bombarded with explosives since it looked like it made a road trip through hell and back.
"Is there anything in it?" Finka asked as she looked it up and down.
"Chopper says it's reading a single heat signature from it." Ash said as soldiers rushed by her before surrounding the semi-destroyed capsule, "But it hasn't moved the entire trip."
"Well we got several dozen barrels pointing down at it so if that thing even shows it face." Thermite said before sliding a finger across his neck.
A hiss came from the pod as its door opened, white gas spewing out as the soldiers backed up nervously with their fingers twitching on the trigger.
A single person staggered out as the smoke slowly faded and revealed a demented red headed girl with a ponytail in an ripped astronaut suit. Her skin was unbelievably pale with her hands bloodied and her eyes glowing a luminescent blue.
"My god." Ash gasped with her mouth covered by her hands, "Is that-"
"Patient Zero." Doctor Mackintosh said solemnly, "She is the reason why the virus is turning mankind into monsters."
"What unholy gift have the stars given us." Tachanka muttered while setting up his LMG before pointing the barrel at the patient's head.
"If we can take a sample of her blood then I can refine the vaccine so that this will never happen again." Doctor Mackintosh said while taking out her kit before a metal clawed hand stopped her, "Operator-"
Tiger calmly walked forward towards Patient Zero with each step that he took making everyone tense up even further.
"Tiger! What are you doing!" Thermite exclaimed as he walked forward before Tiger held his hand up to stop him, "We don't know if she-"
"I'm just going to talk to her." He said before eventually coming face-to-face with the Patient Zero.
"Tiger look out!" Valkyrie and Finka exclaimed at the same time before glaring at each other.
Patient Zero's face was less than a couple inches from him and a guttural growl escaped her mouth but she did not attack strangely enough.
"Are you the cause of this outbreak?" Tiger asked calmly.
She gave the small distinction of a nod.
"Do you wish to be free?"
She nodded.
"Can you undo this?"
She nodded once more.
"How will you?"
Patient Zero pointed and he followed her finger towards a dead Roach being examined by some scientists before it disintegrated into nothingness, leaving the scientists even more bewildered.
"Ahhhh." Tiger sighed before understanding, despite not being a scientist, "I see."
She nodded once more as he rummaged through his pockets before taking out a vial filled with neon green liquid. He slid it into a slot in his right gauntlet before extending out his arm and tucked in all of his fingers except for his index and middle straight at her head.
"Tiger what are you doing?!" Valkyrie exclaimed as she started to jog towards him but he stopped her with by pointing his left pistol at her.
Everyone in the base either pulled out their weapon and aimed it Tiger or immediately switch their crosshairs onto him.
"Tiger stand down!" Ash said with her pistol drawn as well, "What are you doing?!"
"Comrade stop it!" Tachanka shouted as he lined up his iron sights with him, "I really don't want to have to shoot you!"
"If you kill her then you'll potentially destroy the rest of mankind operator!" Doctor Mackintosh exclaimed as she tried to stop her but Doc held her back, "You'll kill us all!"
"Tiger you must think this over!" Doc said while getting his equipment ready to save a person if it came down to it, "What are you doing?!"
"What is right."
Tiger dropped his pistol before holding two fingers up to his chest and chanted, "Judgement!"
The tip of his finger sparked with a green flame before engulfing Patient Zero entirely in a fire so bright that everyone around him looked away but there was one thing that he saw that made him smile.
He saw Patient Zero smile as well with tears running down her face and mouthing a faint thank you while slowly turning into ashes.
He lowered his arm as everyone converged onto him and he looked into the rim of several barrels.
"Why did you do that Tiger?! We had the cure right in front of us!" Finka exclaimed as her finger tensed on the trigger of her rifle, "Why?!"
"Look into the sky and you'll see why."
They all looked up and saw the break of dawn decorated in fiery colors as a crystalline mist escaped into the air. The corpses of the Roaches that had been collected for examination all disintegrated into the air as everyone looked on in wonder.
The soldiers flipped up their visors or slid off their helmet to watch the scenery. Civilians did the same as their children jumped up and down, admiring the pretty sight.
"All of the Roaches must've been linked to her so when she died," Tiger smiled as he watched the sun reveal all of the particles flying into the air, "They died as well."
"Incredible." Finka said as she watched the Chimera virus disappear right before her eyes, "I've never seen anything like this before."
"But why didn't you let us examine her first?!" Lion demanded while getting into his face, "The possibilities and benefits from having such a rare specimen were limitless!"
"And so were the problems." Tiger said while looking down at the man, "That kind of power in this world would make matters worse than better. What's to stop another outbreak in a populated city or a government weaponizing it?"
They group quieted down as they thought about it as Tiger walked over the pile of ashes that used to be Patient Zero before picking out a dog tag that shined as he brought it up to the light.
"Sasha Ivanov." Tiger said as he turned toward Tachanka and gave him the tag, "The defender of mankind by God's decree. Both fitting and ironic at the same time."
"Indeed." The Russian sighed before accepting the tag in his gloved hand and nodded at him, "Thank you for doing that for her."
"She didn't deserve to be captured and abused like a guinea pig." Tiger said while popping the empty vial out of his claw, "After all the pain and suffering that she had endured, it was the least that I could do."
"So that's why you incinerated her." Doc said while nodding in understanding, "You took her life to save so many others."
"Not really take Doc." He smiled while looking at the French Operator, "I prefer, freeing."
Valkyrie suddenly sunk her fist into his gut and he coughed while sinking a little bit from the pressure.
"You ass." She hissed while crossing her arms over one another, "I actually thought that you were going to shoot me!"
"Relax angel. It's a blank." Tiger chuckled while picking up his pistol and pulled the trigger at the ground, clicking to show that it was empty, "See?"
"Angel?" Thermite grinned as the rest of the group turned towards Valkyrie, who was blushing lightly as everyone turned to look at her, "Is that your new pet name Meghan?"
"Umm-"
"Looks like Valkyrie found her match." Ash smiled while leaning on to Thermite's shoulder before looking at Tiger, "You work fast Tiger. It hasn't even been a day and you already got her hooked."
"But we're not dating though." Tiger laughed but he blushed nonetheless and looked down at Valkyrie as she met his gaze, "But then again, I wouldn't mind if we did."
Valkyrie blushed even harder as the group laughed and shook her around.
"But she better act quick!" Tachanka teased while wrapping his arm around Finka, "Because I think our mutual friend has her eyes on comrade as well!"
"What?!" Finka exclaimed as she tried to shake Tachanka off but Jager and Lion pushed her forward so hard that she landed in Tiger's arms, "Umm, hi?"
Everyone laughed as the teasing intensified to the point where Finka and Valkyrie had to chase half of the group around the base screaming bloody murder.
Ash turned to see Tiger being congratulated by the other soldiers and the rest of the Operators.
"Well I guess it's better to get this out of the way now than later." She said before tapping Tiger on the shoulder and asked, "Do you want to come and live with us at Command Tiger?"
"Really?"
"I'm sure that everyone won't mind." She said while gesturing towards the rest of the Operators, "You're on good terms with everyone here so what's stopping you from having a good time with the rest of us?"
Tiger thought about it for a bit before nodding, "I think that I would like that."
"Very well then. I'll make the necessary arrangements." Ash smiled before turning towards the other Operators and announced, "Tiger's coming back home with us!"
A loud cheer erupted as the Operators crowded around Tiger before congratulating him. Tachanka wrapped him in a big ol' grizzly bear hug as Jager patted him on the back with Blackbeard and Lion standing nearby. Valkyrie and Finka smiled at him before glaring at each other as he laughed at their actions before Ash said,
"Welcome to Team Rainbow."
Several hours later
"Welcome to Command."
Tiger hopped out of the Black Hawk and looked around as all of the other Operators did the same.
It resembled your average military base with the exception of a pretty large building in the center where he assumed was the heart of the complex. Soldiers and staff walked around, performing their regular duties and other Operators used the facilities and grounds to their liking. This place was the home of the elite fighting force that ignores politics and other people to do their job.
"Look's homey." Tiger said while pulling down his mask, revealing his mini-goatee and average Asian face, "I guess it wouldn't be that bad to live here."
"Come on Tiger." Valkyrie smiled brightly while taking his hand and pulled him along, "I'll show you to your room."
The two disappeared towards the dormitory section as the Operators watched them walk away and turn a corner.
"There goes your chance Finka." Tachanka teased her with a small elbow jab before he was promptly decked in the face, "Ow!"
"You ass." She snapped before walking towards her own room to get changed.
"Well everyone lets meet up and introduce him to the others later at dinner." Ash yawned before joining Finka with the walk towards her room.
"I'll get everything ready to properly welcome our new comrade." Tachanka laughed before going god knows where.
"Why do I get the feeling that we won't be sleeping tonight." Blackbeard yawned while looking at the other Operators left.
"I'll get the hangover medicine ready." Doc sighed while walking towards the infirmary, "I just hope that we have enough this time."
-x-
"Here you go Tiger." Valkyrie said while opening the door for him before tossing him they key, "Your room's right next to Doc so you'll feel right at home."
"Thanks angel." He said before walking in and started to unpack his things into dressers, setting up his bed, and etc.
Valkyrie leaned against the door frame and watched him work. She would be lying if she said that she wasn't attracted to him. He was strong obviously but he cared about others and was unlike anyone else that she had ever seen. Those claws that he wore and the way that he fought was so fierce but yet elegant. It suited his name quite well and she wouldn't be surprised if he managed to tame an actual tiger.
"Meghan!"
She turned to see a sweaty Ying dressed in a sports bra and sweatpants with a towel hanging from her neck, showing off her very impressive shiny six-pack and toned muscles.
"Hey Siu." Valkyrie smiled as she waved to her usual workout partner, "You just finished your run?"
"That and a couple of rounds on the punching bag." Ying said while uncapping her water bottle before taking a large gulp, "How was New Mexico?"
"Well do I have a story for you." Valkyrie laughed as Tiger came out in a simple T-shirt that had a picture of the chi symbol along with a few symbols written across it and maroon red sweatpants.
"Alright I'm ready for dinner." Tiger said while fixing a long bead bracelet onto his wrist before he looked up and saw Ying, "Oh hello there."
"Siu, this is Bà or Tiger. He's the newest addition to our team." Valkyrie introduced them, "Tiger, this is my friend Ying, or Siu. She's one of the other Operators on site here."
"Northern Shaolin?" Ying asked almost surprised while reading the symbols on Tiger's shirt, "You actually trained there?"
"When I was younger yes." Tiger chuckled while showing her his shirt, "It's been a while since I had seen them but I still train."
"I've always wanted to know how tough those monks could be." Ying smirked while tugging on the towel hanging from her neck and swinging her hips and chest, "You don't mind a light private spar tomorrow morning do you?"
Valkyrie's jaw dropped at the blatant flirting as Tiger smiled and said, "I wouldn't mind at all."
"Great!" Ting exclaimed before leaning forward and pecked him on the cheek, leaving him blushing and Valkyrie silently fuming, "See you at dinner."
"Umm, right." He said with uncertainty as she smiled and bumped his hip with her own before passing him. Before she did, Ying gave Valkyrie a smirk before making her way towards the mess hall and she swayed her hips as she did.
"Wow, I wouldn't mind seeing her again." Tiger grinned as his head tilted and his eyes glued to her rear.
Valkyrie grabbed him by his collar before shoving him into his room and quickly closed the door behind them.
"Woah angel!" He exclaimed after regaining his balance and saw her close the distance between them, "What are you-"
Valkyrie grabbed the sides of his head with her hands and cut him off with a searing kiss that surprised both him and her.
She pulled away and he looked into her eyes. They simply stood there for a couple seconds before Tiger clumsily closed the distance and they kissed again. The second kiss wasn't as forceful and it was much more welcomed by the both of them.
They pulled away with a string of saliva between them as the only thing that Tiger could say was, "Ummm."
"I owe you two life debts Tiger and you are everything that I could ask for in a boyfriend. Strong, sweet, and more importantly, you are mine!" She said while trying to sound tough but much of the effect lost with her face burning bright red and her expression quite embarrassed, "I couldn't handle it when the other girls got close to you and when Ying got all flirty, I was angry! And well, you did say back in New Mexico that you wouldn't mind dating."
"Well then." Tiger blinked as he absorbed all of that information before chuckling, "That's quite a surprise to me."
"What's so funny?"
"It's just that it's the first time that a girl has actually confessed to me." Tiger smiled with his back pressed against the wall, "Usually I'm the one confessing and I'm usually turned down every time."
"But now it's my turn to confess." Valkyrie said as she scratched her head in embarrassment smiling at him sincerely, "Bà. I love you. Will you be my boyfriend? At least see if our relationship will work and-"
"At least you said it properly angel." Tiger teased as he closed the gap between them and they embraced again in a hot exchange, cutting off all the words that she had for him.
Doc opened the door behind them and asked, "We're going to eat Tiger so are you-"
The French medic's eyes widened as he saw Valkyrie in the middle of getting her shirt off and Tiger had his hands on her rear.
An awkward silence came over them as Doc slowly closed the door while smiling, "I'll go tell them that you two are busy.
The door closed as Tiger and Valkyrie looked between each other before laughing and got off each other.
"Kinda sad that Doc came in but he's right about the others waiting on us." Tiger said as he kissed her forehead before rummaging through his clothes, "Why don't you wash up and I'll get you something to wear?"
"Why don't you join me?" Valkyrie suggested while hugging him from behind, making sure to press her ample chest against his back, "I'm sure that they can wait just a little bit."
"I actually want to meet the rest of your friends mind you." He laughed as she pouted and punched him playfully in the side before going to take a shower.
Tiger watched her back disappear into the shower with a smile as he found something that she could wear. It had been a long while since he had a girlfriend and even longer since he had experienced this much love from a single person. His last relationship ended off on a bad note but he was ready to start anew.
"Ohh Tiger!"
"What's up ang- wow."
Valkyrie was completely nude with only a towel covering her up to her breasts as she smirked at him. The water left in her hair glistened like a crystal and her skin did the same to produce an almost mirage like effect.
"Umm."
"Like what you see?" She teased while pushing the towel down a bit more, "Or what you don't see?"
He was definitely ready to start fresh alright.
Mess hall
Thermite sat down with Ash to his side as Lion, Finka, Ying, Lesion, Doc, Blackbeard, and Jager joined him after grabbing their food.
"Where's everyone else at?" Blackbeard asked while looking around, "Did they go off on missions?"
"Capitão and Caveira had a mission in France, Vigil and Dokkaebi in Japan I think with Hibana and Echo, Buck and Frost are on an escort mission in Antarctica, Pulse went back to America for some reason, Montagne, Twitch, Mute, and Smoke went back to Europe to visit family and to take care of some business." Doc said as he took a bite out of his pasta, "The Russians are still here as are the Germans. As for everyone else, I do not know."
He looked up to see everyone staring at him in wonder before explaining, "I'm the best doctor we have on this base so of course I have a duty to check on everyone."
"So I heard from Ying that we have a new Operator." Lesion asked while taking a swig from his beer, "And he's Chinese as well. Mind introducing him to us?"
"I believe our friend friend Finka can tell us a little bit about him." Blackbeard grinned in her direction as the Russian blushed and turned away, "Isn't that right Lera?"
"I don't know what you are talking." Finka said while developing a sudden interest of her food, "We just talked a bit. That's it."
"Boo!"
Finka backhanded the person behind her as he quickly dodged out of her hand and into view.
"Dominic I swear to god that I will beat you someday!" She growled as Bandit laughed and I.Q and Blitz walked up behind him.
"So I saw Valkyrie showing someone around the dorms earlier." Blitz said while sitting down with a plate of greens and cuts of pork as I.Q and Bandit took a seat on his side, "We have a new guy?"
"Did someone say new guy?" Castle asked as he, Zofia, and Ela arrived at the table as well holding a plate covered by a massive steak.
"Yeah." Thermite said as he gave the big man a fistbump, "Sit down and I'll tell you guys all about him."
They sat down and Thermite started to tell about Operation: Chimera along with how Tiger had came in and helped them. How he managed to destroy the virus and basically save the planet from a threat that was no like no other.
"He sounds strong." Zofia grinned with her hands steepled in front of her face, "I like those that are strong."
"I'm more interested in those claws that you said that he was using." I.Q commented as she took a bite out of her salad, "The way that he finished off Patient Zero sounded pretty cool."
"Sounds like one hell of an adventure bro." Castle grinned cut up a slice of his steak, "Too bad that I couldn't join you and Ash on that one."
"Well it was pretty terrifying if I was honest." Ash said while shuddering as she remembered the face of the first Roach that she saw, "The thought of turning into one of those things just made my stomach churn."
"Tiger? Really?" Bandit said while turning towards Lion, "Sounds like your long lost cousin huh Oliver?"
"The guy's cool." He said while scooping up some chowder, "Just needs to learn his place."
"Oh give it a break Lion." Jager laughed while gesturing towards Finka, "You're just jealous that he managed to get Finka to notice him more than you."
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too who?" Sledge asked as he and Thatcher showed up with a plate in his left with a pack of beer in the other, "What are we talking about mates?"
"We got a new guy Seamus." Thermite said as he caught the beer that Sledge tossed him, "His name's Tiger and he's Chinese."
"Why's his name Tiger?" Thatcher asked as he stabbed his piece of steak and lifted it to his grizzly mouth, "Is he as fierce as one or does he look like one?"
"He has these metal claws that ripped through the guys that we were fighting like." Jager explained before snapping his finger, "That. Plus he's a pretty cool for a guy that rips people apart with his bare hands."
"Well where is he?" Zofia asked as she looked up from her plate, "Unless he can turn invisible as well then I don't see him."
"Eeeek!"
"Oh shit!"
"I'm going to kill you Tiger!"
The door threw open as Tiger bursted through and made a beeline for the group with a fuming Valkyrie on his tail.
"Speak of the devil." Blackbeard grinned as he stroked his beard while watching Valkyrie tackle Tiger down to the ground.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" He laughed as he patted her arm as she got him into a sleeper hold, "I'm sorry angel!"
"I hate you." She muttered before loosening her hold and helped him up, embarrassed that he had gotten the jump onto her.
"You two look close." Jager teased while taking a swig of his beer as they sat down, "You two tie the knot while we were gone?"
Valkyrie blushed before taking Tiger's hand in hers while taking a seat and explained, "Well, me and Tiger are dating now."
Thermite, Jager, Blackbeard, Lion, Castle, and everyone else except for Doc, Ash, and Ying coughed or spit out their beer in surprise as they tried to regain their posture, looking up at the new couple as Valkyrie was beyond embarrassed and Tiger was rubbing his head sheepishly.
"I knew you two would tie the knot sooner or later!" Ash laughed while congratulating the two as everyone else did the same.
"Way to go big man!" Thermite grinned while gesturing for him to sit down, "Sit down and enjoy the food bro!"
Finka looked on with a kind of jealous look but shook the feeling away as she too congratulated them. They were her friends so it's her responsibility as one to help them along.
"What's this?!"
Everyone turned towards the door to see the Russians barging in with each person carrying a large crate.
"Comrade Tiger and Valkyrie are dating?!" Tachanka exclaimed as he looked down at their entwined hands before laughing up a storm before wrapping his arms around Tiger's shoulder and shook him roughly, "This is fantastic news! We must celebrate comrade!"
"Is this the one that you say can rip apart men with his hands?" Glaz asked with a heavy accent, "He does not look like much."
"Here, here!" Fuze grumbled as he looked him up and down, "Are we really bringing out our secret collection for this man?"
"I say we test him." Kapkan said while drawing his knife, "Just to make sure that our collection is for a good cause."
"No fighting! It is time for drinking!" Tachanka shouted while breaking open the crate and slammed a clear bottle onto the table with a solid thud, "Come! Who else wants to join?!"
"I'm always down for booze." Bandit said as he managed to pull Blitz and I.Q along as well, "Come on you big babies!"
"You know I'm always down." Castle chuckled as he pulled up a seat across from Tiger to the left before shaking his hand, "Nice to meet you Tiger. The name's Castle but you can call me Miles."
"Gimme the bottle Alex!" Finka grinned as the man threw her a bottle, "I'm gonna drink you under and break that tie!"
"Pass me some Alex!" Lesion grinned as he sat down along with Ying before reaching over and shaking Tiger's hand as well, "It's nice to meet a fellow brother Tiger."
"The pleasure is all mines." Tiger bowed slightly while shaking his hand, "I didn't even think there would be more Chinese here as well so the feeling is the same."
"Now I know why you got all hot and bothered Meghan." Ying teased as she sat a bit closer to Tiger than she should with their sides touching before placing her hand on his thigh and leaned closer to him, "So how far will you go?"
"You bitch!" Valkyrie hissed while reaching over her new boyfriend to try and strangle the S.D.U soldier as Ying and everyone else laughed at her attempt while leaning away from her, "Don't you dare-"
"Enough talk!" Tachanka roared while sitting down on the seat across from Tiger's right with Kapkan taking a seat right in front of him before sliding everyone a bottle and raising his own, "In Mother Russia, we drink by the bottle! Cheers! To our newfound comrade and his equally newfound love!"
Everyone raised their drinks, clinked it, and drank deeply.
I.Q coughed as the burning liquid ran down her throat and Blitz helped her out by clapping her on the back, knowing that she was a lightweight, he drank her own share.
"That hit the spot!" Bandit laughed as everyone else agreed before taking another swig.
"Props to the Russians for having excellent vodka." Zofia cheered as her sister nodded with a bright red face.
"Let's keep on going boys!" Blackbeard cheered with his arm around Lion with his expression as red as everyone else, "We gonna party!"
"To our new mate Tiger!" Sledge cheered while shaking Jager to his side, "Come on Marius drink!"
"It's as strong as the wine from back home!" Lesion sighed with a big smile before gesturing towards Tiger, "Drink up brother! It is very rare that Alex brings out the good stuff!"
"It's not that bad." Valkyrie coughed while wiping her lip with her finger, "I don't mind the hard stuff but-"
"Is poor Valkyrie too weak for vodka?" Ying teased but her face was tinged a little bit pink as well before she hung onto Tiger's shoulder, who was still drinking, "You should go for a girl that can handle her drinks Bà."
"Drinking contest!" Tachanka shouted while slamming more bottles down and sipping his own, "Whoever can finish the entire bottle first wins!"
"Are you crazy Tachanka?!" Ash exclaimed as she watched him pop open the caps, "Most people can't even handle a couple of shots! How the hell do you think some of us will handle an entire bottle in one sitting?! It's suicide!"
A loud clunk caused everyone to look towards Kapkan, who had slammed his half empty bottle down and grinned at them, "What is wrong with you people? Can you not handle your vodka?"
"What do you mean?" Thatcher grinned as he slammed down his own bottle that was half-empty as well, "I can handle my alcohol mate."
"Let's go!" Finka laughed while slamming down her own bottle but it wasn't as empty as the rest of them, "Drink! Drink! Drink!"
"Come on friends!" Tachanka laughed while looking around at his friends, "Can no one finish a full bottle?!"
"Did you say something Tachanka?"
He looked over and his jaw dropped as he saw an empty bottle in front of Tiger, who was looking no more than a little bit flushed.
Everyone else looked at Tiger in shock as he managed to drink a bottle that contained more than 50 percent alcohol. (A/N: Please drink responsibly folks XD)
"That's my man!" Valkyrie cheered while pushing Ying off of him, "Get off of him you wench!"
"I don't know how you did that but my hat's off to you Tiger." Blackbeard chuckled as he barely managed to get in a few gulps from the large bottle.
"I've had my fair share of the good stuff." Tiger smiled as he took in a couple of large breaths before taking Valkyrie's bottle away from her, "I think you've had enough angel."
"I can handle a few more sips." She whined while trying to grab the bottle from him but flicked her head backwards with his index finger, "Wah!"
"I won't be beat!" Finka shouted as she tried to drink more but she fell backward onto her rear with her bottle spilling across the table.
"Save the alcohol!" Glaz shouted as he dived for the bottle.
