SEAL TEAM

Chapter One : The First And Second Time

The first time Clay Spenser saw Theresa Kane, he was sitting in the cafeteria, across from Brian Armstrong, talking about a football game. She walked into the room and he couldn't take his eyes of her. She was and still is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. She was walking to a table, dressed in miltary attire - which meant that she worked here on base, with a killer glare on her face. Her hands was shoved into her pockets and there was an air of danger rolling of her in waves.His eyebrows rose when he saw her sit down with Bravo Team. He heard whispers that there is a woman on Bravo Team but didn't think it was true. Female SEAL's were a rarity in and of itself and he's never seen one himself. And even if it was, how did a girl as breathtakingly beautiful and short as that - who looked like a real handful if she wanted to be - end up on Jason Hayes team?

Clay watched as the killer glare slowly faded from her face and a smile and later a laugh took it's place as she started stealing fries of the plate from the main man, Jason Hayes, himself. The Master Chief gave her a reprimanding look but the bun-tied, dark haired woman just gave him an innocent smile. Clay was once again taken by surprise when Hayes just deflated and pushed the plate forward and she took it with a gleeful smile.

The second time Clay Spenser saw Theresa Kane was in SEAL physical training. It was more intense and more gruelling than that of a normal Navy Sailor or an Army Soldier. That was also when he learnt her name.

"You're late." Master Chief Adam Siever reprimanded with a disapproving look on his face when she finally arrived.

She gave him an smug, yet sincerely apologetic smile, "Sorry, Sir, the curls weren't co-operating this morning." With one hand, she gestured to her head. Siever just sighed defeatedly and gestured to the group of cadets. He didn't know how Hayes put up with her sometimes.

"Good morning, cadets. My name is Lieutenant Commander Theresa Kane, but you can all just call me, Four. Most people do." Before he could stop himself, Clay's hand went up. She looked at him and he face felt hot with embarresment and a tinge of something else. "Yes?"

"Why do they call you 'Four'?" He asked, eternally grateful and relieved that his words came out steady.

"Because I have a short temper and I explode like the forth of July." She spoke bluntly, shrugging before adverting her gaze. The blonde's gaze was to intense for some reason. "Okay, moving on, I will be helping with your physical training and-" A scoff coming from one of the trainee's stopped the female SEAL short. Eyes narrowing on where the sound was heard from, the woman narrowed her eyes. "Does someone have a problem with that?"

One guy met her steel-like gaze, jutting his chin out defiantly. "Yeah. Girls aren't supposed to be SEAL's."

"Well, I'm not a girl. I'm a twenty-three year old woman." She responded easily. Then she tilted her head. "Why don't you come over here, speak to me face to face?" She challenged and the guy did. He stood up and walked until he was not more than five feet from her.

Clay wondered if this guy had a death wish or was just plain stupid. By now, they all knew that the female SEAL, the only one, was on Bravo Team. And Bravo was one team you didn't mess with as they were well known for being fiercely protective of their own.

The SEAL-in-training looked down at Theresa with clear distaste. It didn't bother her, she didn't have much of a liking for him either. "Still, woman, girls, you're all the same. You're weak and you slow everything down."

Theresa raised her eyebrows, she could feel the rage bubbling beneath the surface as her fingers started itching to hit something. "So, because I have a vagina, I shouldn't be allowed to fight for my country? To protect her and her citizens from whatever threats are out there?"

"No, you shouldn't. You should just let us men do it. You're not qualifi-" He didn't get to finish that sentence because the female SEAL exploded. Theresa stepped forward and punched him. A crunch sound was heard right before the trainee fell on his ass, blood pouring from his nose. The whole of Green Team was surprised and watched the clearly infuriated Lady SEAL with wariness.

"I am just as qualified as the rest of my team to be a United States Navy SEAL. I trained and worked my ass of for two and a half years to be a SEAL, just like everyone else. So, say what you will, call me what you will but if you call me unqualified again, I will put you in the hospital." She took a deep breath. "Understand?"

He nodded, fear shining in his eyes. "Yes, Ma'am."

"Good." She gave him a fake smile. Then she looked back to the rest of the trainee's and went back to her previous words as if nothing happened.

But something did happen. Well, two things happened.

One - they all learned that Lieutenant Commander Theresa Kane, also known as Four, is, woman or not, one hell of a force to be rekconed with.

And two - Clay Spenser fell head over heels in love with a woman that was not just absolutely and very far out of his reach, but also out of his league.
