Paladin Danse X Reader

2. Arcjet Assignment

"Morning."

I say, alerting the two to our presence.

Haylen turns around, rubbing one of her half open eyes with a tierd smile and Rhys just glares.

"Hey."

She greets, looking from me to Danse.

"How'd you two sleep?"

I could see Danse looking at me from the corner of my eye but I just ignored him and smiled at Haylen.

"Great thank you."

I say and Danse nods, turning back to Haylen.

"Same."

She nods, then yawns and Rhys rolls his eyes.

"What you staring at new guy?"

He looks at me and I just sigh,

"Alright Knight. You want some coffee with sugar for that bitterness of yours?"

I say to him, not waiting for a reply as I bounce back into the office to pour everyone some coffee.

Once everyones got their drinks, and Haylens finished stitching Rhys back up, we all stand around getting ready to leave for Arcjet.

"Paladin Danse..?"

I say as I finish gearing up and sling a new rifle that Haylen lent me over my shoulder.

He turns towards me, now back in his Power Armour, and nods.

"Ready to head to Arcjet?"

"Ready."

I say, nodding back at him and I can see the hint of a smile on his lips.

"Outstanding, now follow me. And try not to lag behind."

He started walking to the door and I turned to follow him, locking eyes with Haylen.

She gave me a thumbs up and I nodded with a half smile as I followed Danse out the door and back into the streets.

☆°~♡~°☆

We didnt walk for too long, Arcjet wasnt far and most if not all of the walk there was in silence.

Once we got to Arcjet, it was really quiet... I eyed the building suspiciously and went to reach for the handle for the door when Danse put a hand ontop of mine to push it away gently.

"Listen up. We do this clean and quiet. No heroics and by the book. Understood?"

He says, sternly.

I look at him for a moment then nod.

"Got it."

"Good. Remember our primary target is the Deep Range Transmitter."

He explains again, as I pull my rifle off my back and load it up.

"Stay focused and check your fire. I dont want to be hit by any stray bullets."

He says and pushes open the door.

I cant tell if his joking about that last part or not, but I dont want to test the theory, so I just follow him.

We walk in, and again it's really quiet.

Danse steps further into the facility and crouched down by some destroyed protectrons.

"Look at these wrecks. It appears as though the facility's automated security's already been dealt with."

"Is this the Brotherhood Of Steels handy work?"

I asked,

"Unfortunately, no. Look at the evidence. There isnt a single spent ammunition casing or drop of blood in sight. These robots were assaulted by institute synths..."
