Warning: Since the Second Dream's release, it should be noted that this will contain SPOILERS for those who have not played it through yet.
A/N: This...is hopefully not a filler. I do want to approach the topic on the Tenno's and Warframe's relationships with one another, so I might expand more on it. It's not so much a story, as it is a study on the dynamics. Nontheless, I hope you all enjoy this!
Way of the Weapon: Monkey See, Monkey Do
Jun was friends with everyone.
When they first met contact with the Tol-Mesa duo, they were less friendlier than they actually were. They refused their help, opting to go about their own way. Only on a spy mission gone wrong did they begrudgingly asked for help; now they were stuck with Jun's wisecracks and his own nefarious pranks.
They met Mina-Excalibur and Ezra-Ivara after the Stalker fiasco. They were called on to help with a survival mission, protecting one of he many Tenno pods scattered in the system. When all was dead and done, Jun kept in contact with them, often joining in on their own missions.
The Shadow Squad was Wukong's favourite people: a Loki, an Ash and a Banshee, rolled into one fiesta. They often kept scores on who'd get the most stealth kills, raced on who'd reach the databases first and then wrecked havoc about enemy base. Currently he held the highest scores- no you don't, Jun ground out- details, details.
Then there was little brother Ming and Nezha. The babies, as Tol liked to call them. Well it wasn't exactly their fault...Ming had been one of the youngest during the Zariman incident. Jun, being who she was, took the little boy under her wing; he in turn, took Nezha as a complimentary 'frame to Wukong.
He digressed but it wasn't an understatement, Wukong knew. She really was that friendly with any Tenno she met. It was her personality, which bled with his own, the trickster in him. She was happy-go-lucky and outspoken, whilst he was deviously funny. It made them the perfect team, pre-Stalker-teamed-up-with-Hunhow era.
When he first met Jun...he was horrified. The sudden loss of her spirit from his own, the emptiness left when she pulled out. It was a feeling worse than death, a missing piece of his being and he didn't know what to do. But then he saw her...and she was beautiful.
The energy that sparked within her and the gentleness in her expressions. The glow in her eyes when she smiled, the slight tilt of her head in amusement when he does his tricks...just...wow.
Focus please, Jun mused.
Right, Wukong responded, and unleashed an Iron Jab at the Corpus group before him. Sorry.
You can profess my undying love to me later, she laughed.
Pfft. Love? No, he didn't see her the way Lotus saw them. But undying? That bit was true.
He would have burnt the whole galaxy down for her.
