Volt awoke to find trinity had thankfully rolled over in her sleep
Excalibur was already awake what volt did not know was that Excalibur had seen trinity curled up besides volt and honestly envied him last night he was awake for a bit thinking about mag
He liked her
He liked her alot
But he was a rookie she had loads of victorys under her belt and him? First major mission and he gets the whole team stuck in a glorified closet
Okay it was much bigger then a closet but he still felt bad dammit!
And while mag and trinity did try to make him feel better volt was right HE was the reason they were in this position
"Hey volt"
"Yeah?"
"sorry for y'know all of this"
"Relax kid we all make mistakes"
"Your not mad?"
"If it was mag or trinity or myself I'd be mad but this is your first major mission I'm not going to be to harsh on you we all mess up my first big misson I caused a meltdown trinity put an Oberon unconscious and mag crashed her liset into a ship"
"Wait really?"
"Yep no one's perfect"
Excalibur smiled truthfully at first he did not like volt but he was quickly growing on him he reminded him of a big brother
"..."
"..."
There was a long silence they were interrupted by trinity stirring in her sleep
"So enjoy your sleep?"
"Wait you saw?"
"I envy you"
"Wait you envy me w- ohh mag"
"Yea mag"
trinity jumped up
"OH MY GOD I KNEW IT YOU DO LIKE HER"
"Shhh don't wake her up"
Said Excalibur pointing at mag
"How long have you been awake?"
Volt asked
"Not important but to answer your question excalibur I did enjoy my sleep"
"That makes one of us I could barely breathe"
Volt muttered out
"Shhhhh I need to give relationship advice"
Trinity said happily
"Wait your gonna help me?"
Excalibur asked with hope in his chest
"Of course do you know how boring it is listing to mag whine about how lonely she is? Now truthfully i think she's already kinda falling for you but what ever you do don't push it don't act any different or treat her any different or spend a ridiculous amount of time with her you need to let these feelings blossom over a large span of time you know what happens when you don't do that? you get your weird "high school" relationships that last for like a week"
She explained rapidly
"Oh uh thanks trinity that was surprisingly in depth"
"What can I say I'm a natural match maker"
She said laughing merrily
Mag eventually woke up to a familiar sight
Trinity and excalibur talking and volt getting frustrated with a door
She joined trinity and excal while volt decided to refocus his efforts to communication with the lotus in hopes she could send another team to get them out
After a while he finally got a stable signal and explained the situation surprisingly he said it was a storm that caused the malfunction not excalibur
"Understood Tenno I'll send a team to free you"
She said much to everyone's joy
"Any idea how long it will take?" Volt asked
"24 earth hours"
She said bluntly as the transmission ended
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Well get comfortable guys"
Mag sighed
"Hey trinity how did you know so much about relationships?"
Volt asked curiously
"I've been in one before...it wasn't a good one"
She said sadly
"Wait what"
Volt said now angry at whoever upset her
"Loki I was with Loki at first I thought he genuinely liked me but about a week into our relationship I found him with a titania
"Bastard" volt growled
"Forget about it volt I left him a while ago"
"That doesn't make it right"
"Thanks for being there for me"
"Don't mention it"
After a while of talking excalibur had managed to star a conversation with mag keeping in mind what trinity told him he made sure not to be to forcefull
"Y'know excal I'm kinda glad this happened"
"Your happy this happened?"
"Yeah I mean normally in missions you only say what needs to be said in the dojo I only really talk to trinity so it's nice just to talk even if one of us is in a permanently bad mood"
She laughed excalibur laughed too he found it hard not to
They shared a moment together
"Hey mag when we get back to the dojo I'd like to spend some more time with you"
She smiled
"I'd love that"
