A Shit Place
“YO TOM, I'M HOME, YA HERE?”
you said walking through the door, silence. ‘Strange, But oh well he's a grown man after all. He can do what he wants” you thought
as you walk to the kitchen to get something to eat and grab a drink. As you got to the fridge you saw a note:
‘Went to the store be right back for more food :D’
“oh, so that's where he is,” saying out loud. You open the fridge and grabbed a pop and a pudding cup and go to plop down on the couch. You just got back from your avatar training. You were going to Pandora as a Xenogeologist. you did ok with said training but the language was a bit difficult to grasp.
you finished the snack and opened a laptop to study and practice said language, but just as you were about to start, a knock at the door interrupted. A sigh escaped your lips as you got up and opened the door with some sass.
“Are you Y/N Sully” two men in suits greeted you at the door, “yeah what do you want?” attitude rolled off your tongue
“Is your brother Tom Sully, age 22”, “yeah, what about him?” you asked warily
“He’s dead, stabbed in a mugging gone wrong,” one agent said with zero emotion as if he had said it a dozen times already, “he's at the morgue if you'd like to see him,” the other said
*
At the morgue, you looked down at the box that was about to be pushed into the inferno you tried calling jake but he never answered
you looked over to see that none other than your older brother jake rolled in with two agents.
“We're looking for Sully T” the agent's voice boomed, you recognized them as an RDA agent.
“Yeah over here”.
“Jesus Tommy” “yeah, two cops came to our place, said he was stabbed by some thug for his cash” was all that was said between the two.
You heard the two agents talk to Jake about replacing Tom in the avatar program. You just tuned it out and thought of what to do, you had three days till you were shipped out. you had just graduated college a few months ago, so had a shit ton of free time. Then a thought popped into your head.
“Hey Jake, wanna go get a drink?” a smirk formed on your lips
“what? Aren't you 20 though” jakes face was confused, both from the fact he was already drunk and the fact you were two years younger than him
but with a shit-eating grin, you pulled out your wallet to show your fake ID
“don't worry, i'll be fine,” you said with a smile
“Jesus N/N” jake couldn't help but chuckle
“Relax, besides I turn 21 in a few months. Plus we get shipped out in three days, so why not live a little”
He only shook his head with a smile “fine” was his final answer
“nice let's go to this bar I know, two streets down I think”

Location–Cherry Tops Bar
“TO TOMMY” both of you toasted to his memory, then took a swig of the liquor
“So how’d you get a fake id,” he asked “ahh I knew some art majors back in college, had them whipped one up for me when I was 18”
“Good lord Y/N, you graduate high school at 16 with that brain of yours and you get an id to drink”
“Hey, at least I waited, 'cause I seem to remember you coming home drunk” pointing out his hypocrisy seemed to get a laugh outta ya.
Growing up it was just you three, so, of course, you'd pick up both traits of your brothers
“So how ya been anyway,” you asked Jake, the two of you hadn't talked in months. Jake sighed saying
“same old same old,” he said with a gloomy face
“ah well, that's gonna change in about three days and about 6 years from now” you both laughed with jake returning your question to you
“oh you know, I finished college about two months ago, Zoe and I broke up, and got my ears stretched” “oh you and Zoe broke up?” “yeah, just didn't feel anything anymore, plus I'm leaving for what 16-18 years so might as well call it off,” you said with a neutral expression, sure she was a nice girl beautiful too. There just wasn’t anything there anymore
As you and Jake were getting caught up in your lives, you felt a hand on your shoulder. You looked over to see some dude looking down at you with a stupid smile clearly drunk. You recognized him as a former classmate, he was a known creep who'd get up in everyone's space
“Ya need something dude?” there was a hint of annoyance in your tone as you shrugged off his hand
“yeah, Just need you in my bed tonight” he wore a sleazy grin while looking at your chest
“ah sorry man, I already got your Ma in mine, can't keep her waiting, right bro,” you said as you looked at your brother to continue your joked
“yeah sis, let's bounce and go to yours,” he said with a playful smirk
Obviously, he was a momma's boy and didn’t take kindly to calling his mom a whore as he looked at the two of you, he looked like he was about to punch you, and when he eventually did, you swung back faster.
Knocking him to the ground. His buds went to help him by knocking you down but Jake had your back by wheeling into them. You straddled the guy getting a few licks in before you were pulled off by the bouncer and you and Jake were thrown out. You got up laughing while helping Jake up.
“Why don't you crash at my place till it's time to go, bet you still live in that shoe box” you offered
“Yeah sure, i'll head to my place and pack up tomorrow” he agreed, and started rolling away
“sounds like a plan”

Location– Y/Ns and Tom's apartment
The apartment was small but still bigger than jakes. It had two rooms and a closed bathroom but was still small though with little space for anything else, but since Y/N and Tom were out of the house all the time it didn't matter.
“Hmm kinda cozy” jake commented
“Yeah, and pretty cheap for what it is. You can sleep on the couch ". You moved the coffee table so Jake could have a place for his wheelchair. Then retired to your room to sleep. As you were sleeping, you had a dream, you were in a jungle. You heard giggling and it ran off as you chased it into the forest. Then you woke up.
///
Location– Jakes Place
In the morning you and Jake went to his place to help him pack up.
“wow, I really do forget that you literally live in a shoe box” you looked around his place, it was an open floor plan, and very cramped
“shut up,” Jake said as he pinched you
“OW,” you yelped.
It was a quick activity as he didn't have much to his name. As you two head to your house you thought about the dream again. Jake noticed and asked:
“Hey, what's up? Been spacing off all morning,” he asked concerned
“hmm oh nothing, had that forest dream again,” you said nonchalantly as if it was breathing
“Wow, this is like what? The hundredth time” he joked. You've been having this dream since you were a kid. Sometimes you'd be flying, running, or swimming after someone. Your mother always said that it was god giving you dreams of the past, but you wrote it off as just a random recurring dream, stemming from the fact you like nature.
Jake only nodded as you two made it to your door. You decided to order some food and just relax for the day.
It felt weird to you, Jake and Tom were identical twins, but Jake had longish hair. So seeing him do the same routine as Tommy gave you a sense of Deja Vu.
Once you finished you retired to your room to get some studying in and rest. As of tomorrow, you and Jake would be put in cryosleep as you journeyed to pandora.
