Commander Wolffe x mute! reader
A pretty long one Iβd been working on for ages. Hope you enjoy! :β)
The seemingly endless battle continues, blaster fire and explosions erupt in the once peaceful village, destruction following the noise. Running as fast as your legs could carry you, you stay down low and crouched against a wall, eyes set on your destination. It was a cage of your people, trapped and imprisoned by the Separtists. Jumping and grabbing onto a ledge of a crumbled home, you pull yourself up and walk along the thin wall, bending down before you leap onto one of the droids guarding the cell, the one nearest to you. Arms wrapping around itβs neck piece, feet steadied against itβs back, you grab itβs head in attempts to rip it off before it yells. But,
That didnβt work too well. Itβs friend turns and shoots at you, one of the lazer bolts skimming your shoulder but you donβt let go, you jerk your body to move the clanker with you. The other shoots the one youβre on, blasting itβs head off of itβs shoulders and making you fly backwards. You tumble, with the disabled droidβs head in hand, you sit up enough to pitch the thing at the last droids head with all your might. You knock itβs block off as well.
No time to rest. You tell yourself as you get up off of the ground, your brown robes dirty and torn from past encounters, placing a firm foot on the droid you grab its arm and rip it off with a large yank. Sparks fly.
Walking up to the entrance you wave the people back, then swing and smash the controls, setting off an alarm but opening it. You wave them forward, summoning them to follow you, they all mummer and thank you, expressing how grateful or scared they are. Running and stopping at the end of a hallway, you lift a slab of stone up, jerking your head for them to go inside and quickly.
They all file inside and crouch down, it wasnβt much, but they were away from captivity and danger for the most part. It was an old basement of a destroyed house that youβd noticed running over there, smiling softly and putting a finger to your lips before you close the entrance for good. Youβd caught smiles, thank yous and tears before the hole was covered again. Your hands were bloody, as well as your legs and shoulder now, but you couldnβt stop. You climb the building and scout the best way to the next capture point. But something catches your eye.
One single clone, standing in front of a small girl, defending her from waves of droids. Your eyes dart everywhere, when you see a nearby building with some supplies. Your feet start to carry you before you could even react, leaping the large cracks of the different structures and when you land, you snatch a grenade. Pulling the pin and pitching it as hard as you could to the flood of droids, it explodes and does two things.
One, is that it gives him a moment to breathe because it took down many droids. And two is that it caught the attention of fellow clones nearby, so heβs getting reinforcements right now. His brothers skillfully shooting down the enemy forces and assisting him.
Smiling in satisfaction, you turn away and gather the newly found stuff into your empty satchel. Sliding down a pole from the top of a building, you adjust your robes and begin progressing into more dangerous territory. Your hands grip the staff that youβd found tightly as you turn a corner, coming across another prison, but also more droids. You slide against the walls and duck, when they turn your way, checking before dashing to a closer spot.
They should walk directly beside me, then I can take them down and free my people before more of them come. I can lead them back to where I left the others.
Gripping the staff and steadying out your trembling hands, you can hear their clanking footsteps.
Swinging around the corner and smashing the one, you jump sideways to avoid the shot, then destroy the other one. Panting and hurrying to the door of the cell, not having to wave them backwards because they were already huddled together in a corner, you swing relentlessly and shatter the control panel. This cell being the biggest youβve ever penetrated, you were worried something would go wrong, so you hurry. Ripping open the door and waving them to follow, the reluctantly do so, you check if the coast is clear then you lead them back to the previous hiding place youβd found. Struggling to move the slab again, you hear strained gasps and choked sobs, but you pop into the doorway and smile to reassure them.
Waving at them to make room. They donβt understand, so you mouth to them to move. Still not understanding you grunt and move backwards, just continuing to show the others inside, theyβll readjust. You donβt have time for this.
After all of them crawl in, you are barely able to move the slab back, your body shaking madly. Youβd lost too much blood and exerted yourself in many ways, but you push yourself to walk from that position. You couldnβt be caught, having them found as well. Swaying as you speed walk to a small spot you see across the way, you get knocked off of your feet by a Commando Droid.
Your mouth moves to cry out in pain, for help, but you couldnβt. The strain of itβs metal foot pressed against your chest makes you gasp for air, beating on itβs leg in an attempt to move it, but you couldnβt. Looking to the side and seeing two more of them stalking towards where you were, you panic, moving your arm far enough back to dig in your bag. You pull you a detonator and activate it, struggling to roll it across the ground, you throw it towards the enemy forces.
Somehow, out of sheer luck, it knocks them off of their feet. And when they stand back up they storm towards you. Clacking in their robotic language the one stepping on you presses hard, making you wheeze, tears prick your eyes as the world goes black slowly. Pointing the gun at you, you flinch, but nothing happens.
A loud bang is heard as the pressure is released, your eyes snapping open as you attempt to scurry away. Gunfire is heard from behind you, which makes you jump. Looking backwards and seeing a force of clones invading, you almost cry. You were safe. They were safe.
Once they shoot down all of the commandoβs and secured the area, one of them kneels beside you. On his helmet, under his visor had a smeared looking design. βYou okay, maβam?β He asks, touching the singed clothes around your shoulder wound.
You nod slowly, your body trembling. Mouthing to him frantically and pointing towards where your people were, he tilted his head in a puzzled way. His hand retracting and body freezing.
Your face drops as you attempt to stand, knowing youβd have to show them, but your knees gave out which made you fall back down on your ass. Making your shoulders drop, your eyes darting downwards.
βDonβt try to get up, youβre hurt pretty badly. Erm, just stay here, mβkay?β He asks as he stands, declaring as he walks away. βIβll be back in a sec!β
You watch him walk towards another clone, placing his hands on his hips as they talk. Both looking back at you, the one he walked up to nods before starting towards you, the other following behind. Taking his helmet off when he reaches you, he kneels down, looking you in the eye.
You blink a couple times, cheeks gaining a pink hue as you look at his handsome face. He had strong, sharp features; his jawline could probably cut a diamond. His skin was a dark shade, a lighter colored scar running through his left eye, which you take note that it was a cybernetic eye. But his other eye was a natural, deep brown. His ears were big, lips were big and hands were big as he reached forward and touched your arm to inspect your burn.
Looking away from him in a shy way you let out a large breath, continuing to tell yourself mentally that youβre okay and theyβre okay. Youβre okay and theyβre okay. It was hard to believe that you didnβt die due to the risks that you took.
Jerking your arm away quickly because of the sudden pain that was caused, you look at him wide eyed. Shaking slightly and trying to steady your breath, you look down apologetically.
βSo youβre mute?β He asks sort of awkwardly as he takes your arm again, more gently.
You nod and glance at him, not meaning to stare a bit too long as he was focused on your arm. Heβd wrapped it up and was now tying off the bandage. His brows creased and lips pressed together, he glances to you and meets your (e/c) eyes. βIs there a problem, miss?β He raises a brow. The fact that you think heβs hot totally flying by his head and making him think youβre just trying to gain his attention.
Caught off guard, you shake your head with a blush. Lifting your arms to ask him to help you up he understands and does so, but doesnβt let you stray from him. He lets you use him as a crutch as he walks with you. You lead him and his men to the spot that youβd lead the people to, your heart hammering when you see that the building beside it had been completely demolished, leaping away from the Commander you fall to your knees as you move the rubble with much problem. Your eyes were watering and you could barely move a few pieces, looking back to the clone with a panicked expression.
Wolffe took action off of that and ordered his men to start moving the slabs of stone, him helping after comming his General and informing him of his status, he grunts once him and his men carry away a large piece. Dropping it with a thud you scamper to the now exposed entrance. Tugging on it with much resistance, you manage to move it.
Looking into the not so big space, you narrow your eyes. You couldnβt really see anything but you began crying once you saw that they were all there.
Your shoulders slouch and you look back to the Commander with a huge smile, who had a puzzled look on his face, but when he squatted down and saw those people he realized.
βDid you save them?β Wolffe looked at you, eyebrows raised.
Your tears didnβt stop as you nodded. Your emotions all hitting you at once you couldnβt function properly, you couldnβt bring yourself to your feet or to move. So he scooped you up carefully, allowing his men to start helping the civilians out. Cradling you in his arms as your wiped your tears, he didnβt seem to mind holding you either.
All of them are safe, theyβre all okay. You think and that only makes you sob harder, curling up in his arms. Closer to him as you whimper.
Wolffe carries you to the Medic that had just arrived with Master Plo Koon, explaining to him the extent of your injures, which werenβt too bad but he still wanted to get you fixed up. At least he thought they werenβt.
The medic made him lay you down on a mat heβd rolled out, which made you whine slightly, flinching. Looking up at Wolffe who did the same, they exchange a look then the medic begins looking over your form. You didnβt break your legs nor arms, but you did sprain your wrist and bruise your ribs. Your adrenaline had worn off by now and you were very obviously in pain, so he gave you strong pain killers.
Eyes half lidded as you blink and look around frantically, startled by the numbness, you meet the medicβs kind eyes.Β βTake a hold of his hand.β
He softly directs you to hold Wolffeβs large hand, in which you do, and smile at him as he nods down at you. Not noticing that the large clone had glared at the medic because of this.
You finally fall unconscious and the medic finishes his job, bandaging up your bangs and nicks. He re-bandages your shoulder wound after applying bacta, sighing. βShe lost a good bit of blood and when she wakes up sheβll be quite weak. Iβm assuming she did all of that destruction that we couldnβt track?β
βShe did.β The Commander grunts in reply. βSurprisingly enough she took out a couple posts, where they were using her people as human shields, and brought them to that building. Saving them.β
βShe must be very tired then.β The medic smiles and smooths your hair out gently, wiping some dirt off of your face, before standing to leave. βIβm assuming youβll be taking care of her until sheβs well?β He smirks.
Wolffe was dazed, only slightly, as he ran his fingers through your hair. It was so soft. Heβs never touched something heβs liked so much. Such a beautiful (h/c), even if it was dirty. He didnβt even hear the medicβs remark, and then the click of his tongue as he walked away. He kept your hand as he moved you, setting your head on his thigh and for more comfort he folded a blanket to tuck it under your head.
He kept your hand until you woke, actually. His large fingers playing with your hair the entire time. And when you opened your eyes, you were met with his deep brown ones and a smile.
You could definitely get used to this.
