This story follows the lives of the Operators of Rainbow Six Siege. This is based after the Bartlett University terrorist attack. Each Chapter will focus on one unit specifically. Every 2-3 chapters will incorporate several operators for a terrorist attack, and their own set of drama.

We start, with the SAS.

The SAS is from Britain, and the operators include Sledge, Thatcher, Smoke, and Mute.

Sledge:

Quick Facts: Age 35, Real Name:Seamus Cowden

"Seamus!" A large woman yelled from the stairs.

"Yes Maranda?" He replied grudgingly getting up and out of bed.

"Make sure to be up before the kids go to school!" Seamus rubbed his temples and groaned as he got up. He had a large bruise on his abdomen from his latest mission with the SAS. Once he was out of bed, he got dressed and headed downstairs. He smelled coffee, which he needed after arriving late to home last night. Once he stepped on the first floor of his house, his 5 year old daughter Lacey came to greet him.

"Daddy i missed you! Don't leave ever again." His daughter smiled with her front teeth missing and her golden blonde pigtails shaking as she bobbed her head.

"I'll try my love." He put his daughter down and headed to the kitchen.

"Hey Kasey."

"Dad." His 17 year old daughter mumbled as she typed on her computer.

"Well at least I got a word of acknowledgement." He walked over to his wife and kissed her. She frowned as he leaned and pecked him. Then the phone rang. Kasey reached across the table and picked it up.

'"Hello?...Yea he's right here. Dad!" Seamus peered over from the coffee machine. "It's for you."

"Well who is it?" He said as he sipped his coffee.

"Mark Chandar?" Seamus reached over to talk his co-worker, also known as Mute.

"Yea man whats up? Yea i can do that. Have to check with the wife first though. We are…. Trying. Yea, see you soon." Seamus put the phone down and walked over to his wife.

"Maranda?" She was sitting in the chair in another room reading as she looked up with exhausted eyes.

"Darling.. I am exhausted… I don't want to get into this again with the kids here. Can't this wait 20 minutes until the carpool arrives?"

"I was just going to say I am meeting the guys at Mark's. And, I'm so sorry." He walked out of the room, but he wasn't sorry about the fight they had last night. He was sorry about something much, much worse.

Things had been on the rocks lately with the couple. They met right before Seamus enlisted in the army at 18. He was at a party with some of his newfound army friends and they hit it off, and one thing lead to another, and they slept together. What he didn't know, was she became pregnant with their daughter Kasey. When he returned after several tours, several of the people in his hometown mentioned Maranda having a child 4 years previous. He thought nothing of it, until she arrived at his house, with the a paternity test and her birth certificate.

A large argument ensued, saying he should have told her previously but she said nothing would have changed. His parents threatened that they would disown him if he did not marry the mother of his child. And while love did seem to grow over the years, when Seamus was in the SAS, and soon team rainbow, the love dissipated and only arguments seemed to arise.

"Hey dad, can i ask you something?" Kasey walked into her father's room as he was gettting ready to meet his friends. He turned abruptly and sat down in his desk chair.

"Of course."

"Why do you and mom stay together? I know that Lacey doesn't understand, and probably is too asleep to hear the arguments, but I understand. And i don't sleep when all i hear is 'you are never fucking here, i hate you, i wish i never slept with you'."

"It's… complicated Kasey. She's the mother to my kids, and I am the father to her's. We are bonded whether we like it or not. And, while at times, I wish i never slept with your mother, I remember, it gave me you, and you are the proudest of all my accomplishments."

"Thanks dad. I just.. I want you and mom to be happy, and you're not with each other. I'm sorry I have been so standoffish to you lately. I just miss you, and I wish you were home more… also… I know what you did."

"What? How?... I didn't even do it here." Seamus' heart dropped.

"I eavesdropped on your phone call. You sounded… happy. I'm not gonna tell mom, and i'm not gonna stop you. I've never heard so much, glee in your words. It made me happy."

"Kasey, i don't know what to say… but, what's the catch?"

"I need your advice, without judgement, or punishment… please."

"What's wrong?"

"Daniel has been hitting me…. And i don't… I don't know what to do."

"You're boyfriend… did what?" His anger boiled inside of him, and all he could think, was he could take him out easily with the SAS.

"Dad don't kill him. Please. I just, I've tried to break up with him, but every time I do, he yells at me, and starts to hit me, and says we will never be over."

"Why would I punish you for this? Or judge you?"

"I meant don't punish Daniel."

"Fine, I won't kill him. But you don't want to know what I am going to do, to get him to leave you alone. And that's final." Seamus got up and walked out of the door, to Mark's.

Thatcher:

Quick Facts: Age 55, Real Name: Mike Baker

"Yea Mark, I'll see you soon." Mike put down the phone as he ate his omelet that his wife Samantha made.

"What did Mark want my love?" She put an omelet in the fridge and then started to eat her own.

"He wants me and the guys to meet up with him at his house. I don't really know what for."

"Hopefully not another trip, you just got back from saving Bartlett, don't you get a break?"

"Samantha, it's probably that he's met a girl or something, it's about time, I mean, he needs our approval. And advice from me, most likely, we are coming up on our 30th wedding anniversary." Mike and Samantha shared a loving kiss as footsteps came trotting in.

Mike and his wife Samantha met in the Army in 1983 when he was 24 and she was 21. She nursed him back to health after a grenade blast hurt his inner eardrums and shrapnel got into his leg. And they fell in love at first sight. They had 4 kids. Kenny who is 28, and has his own child and wife and live a few hours away. Lorelai who is 25 and is finishing up medical school with her fiance. Dean is 21 and is enlisted in the army and hopes to be part of the SAS, like his dad. He has a wife who is pregnant. And lastly, the daughter who came unexpectedly 15 years ago, and came trotting into the kitchen, Katy.

"Awh 30 years? That's so exciting! What are you guys gonna do?"

"Well tell me what college you want to go to and I will tell you what we are going to do."

"Touche'. Well, I applied to Harvard and Yale in the US, because they do have the best schools in the country, but Kasey, Uncle Cowden's daughter, is going to a community school here and wants me to move in with her across town.

"You guys have been best friends for the last 10 years darling, I think moving in together would be a great idea, but I also want you to go to a good college."

"Yeah that's why I haven't decided yet." Katy grabbed the omelet out of the fridge, and sat down to eat.

"Katy, speaking of Kasey, her dad just texted me with some, very interesting information.

"About Kasey I'm guessing?"

"I have to ask, if you knew about it."

"Well, probably, she tells me everything." Katy began to eat while she looked at her own phone.

"He says that her boyfriend Daniel has been beating her, and controlling her." Katy looked up from her phone mid bite, then put down her phone.

"Yea, I did. I was the one who told her to tell her dad."

"That was probably not a very wise decision. He says he is going to Mark's now, and I can only be scared about what's going to happen next."

"Babe before you go?" Samantha chimed in. "How are Seamus and Maranda? Any better? At the picnic last month, i could see the storm cloud above them."

"Probably worse, if I am being honest." Mike put his dish in the sink and started to wash his hands.

"Oh no.. What happened?"

"Let's just say, he fucked up back at Bartlett. Really bad. I don't know if he has told Maranda yet, but he promised he would."

"Oh… Poor Maranda… But i don't know if he was in the wrong. But, you go, okay? Make sure he doesn't kill or harm Kasey boyfriend."

"Love you both, I will see you later." Mike grabbed his car keys and headed over to Mark's house.

Smoke:

Quick Facts: Age 35, Real Name: James Porter

Though James was home late, he got up at his usual time to go running, 5 am. He does this because he sees the woman he likes, who goes running as well, so he can intentionally bump into her every morning.

All he knew was that her name was Laura, she had a husky, whom she brought with her on her run, she was single, 31, and a boxer who was a stuntwoman in movies on the side. Much like him, she enjoyed danger, and risk, one of the reasons when they first talked, he became attracted to her. But, he's always been to afraid to ask her out. Like usual, he stalled at the park near his house, to wait for her. When he sees her, he runs next to her as her dog starts to freak out in excitement.

"James! It's so nice to see you! I haven't seen you in weeks! Where have you been?" Laura smiled largely at the sight of seeing James again. She looked into his eyes and he smiled.

"Actually I was saving Bartlett from a terrorist attack." James continued to pet Laura's dog.

"Wow, that's amazing. I thought you threw smoke grenades, if there was already a strange smoke, what would yours do?"

"That is a fabulous question, one of which has a valid premise, but um, actually, i was just there for backup for the rest of the SAS. I was actually trying to figure out what the smoke was, I never went inside the battlefield. I was more responsible for taking out the smoke. Since it is my specialty." He started laugh as he stood up. He was still sweating from running the 5 miles before, and she was sweating also.

""I, uh… I missed you while you were gone James… It was sad not seeing you on my run every morning." Laura blushed as her dog tried to walk away.

"I missed you too Laura." Her dog suddenly jolted forward and threw her into James' arms. Then, they both pulled away and said at the same time,

"I don't have time for a boyfriend/girlfriend". They looked away from each other. Laura broke the silence.

"I do really like you though. I actually just got a contract with this company who makes sports drinks. They're going to have me drink the energy or whatever drinks then go skydiving, rock climbing, you know, dangerous fun things."

"That's one of the reasons I really like you too. You're a lot like me. I love taking risks and being dangerous, that's why I am in the SAS." James took a step forward, and put his hand on her face. Then, finally, he kissed her. They kissed passionately for several minutes until James broke the silence. "Would you like to come back to my house?" He laughed awkwardly.

"Mine is just around the block, so how about we race to mine, and then… see where it takes us." James then sprinted forward. "You don't even know where I live!"

"Then run faster than me!" Laura ran ahead and led James to her house. She unlocked her door and started to open it when James kissed her again. She brought her dog inside and unhooked him from his leash. They paused a moment from kissing as he whispered where her room was.

"It's the second room down the hall," He smiled and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around him while still kissing him with every emotion in her body. As the door closed behind them, they were on their way to a very strange place.

A little over an hour later, James' cell phone rings, and it wakes him up. He looks around him seeing a naked Laura in the covers laying next to him. He smiled at the events that just occurred. He answers his phone to see Mark as the caller ID.

"Hey Mark what's up? Well, I uh do have some news to tell you guys. Yea I'll head over soon, but I might be awhile. I'll explain why later." James hung up the phone to see Laura still sleeping. He stroked her hair and kissed her.

"Hey.. Laura…" She woke up and turned towards James. She blushed and rolled over to go on top of him under the covers. He laughed as he noticed his emotions run high again. "While I would, love, to repeat our previous actions, I actually have to go. And this isn't me running out and never going to call you again, because I want your number, and I'm going to see you every morning for our run. My best friends are all meeting together to talk, and i have to go." Laura kissed him and got up out of the bed. He couldn't help but glance at her naked body getting dressed.

"Well you bum get dressed, I'll drive you home. That way if you don't call I will just show up at your house."

"Thanks…" James got up and got dressed into his clothes. "I'm gonna need to change when I get back to my house. Luckily I won't need to shower." Laura turned to him and laughed. After a few minutes, she grabbed her keys and brought James back home.

Mute:

Quick Facts: Age 25, Real Name: Mark Chandar.

Mark hung up his phone as James was his last call. He ran to the store quickly to get sandwiches, beer, chips, and cookies. By the time he got back, a raging Seamus was at his door.

"Dude, I told you to meet at 8, it's only 7:30." He opened his door to bring in the food and beer into his house.

"I need you to come with me now." Seamus walked into the bathroom, and came out a few minutes later dressed in his sledge uniform.

"Um, what'cha wearing that for? Have your hammer too?" Mark laughed and it suddenly turned to a frown.

"Put on your uniform, my hammer is my truck. We are going to fuck Kasey's boyfriend up. NOW." Seamus looked at Mark with a very serious face.

"Well if you expect me to mute him, I don't think it will work, but may i ask why?"

"He's being beating Kasey. She told me this morning, and we have to make sure, he never lays another hand on Kasey ever again. I am tracking his phone now, looks like he's on his way to school, so if you get in your uniform now, we can scare him and threaten him and be back by the time the other guys get here."

"Not without me…" Mike said. He held up his uniform and an emp grenade. "Thought I might be able to scare him a little with this. James texted saying he was going to be late, so let's go."

A few minutes passed and Sledge, Thatcher, and Mute walked out the door into Sledge's truck. They drove for a few minutes until Daniel was near an alley was as he rode his back.

"Alright, on my go, 1...2….go!" Sledge said as they hopped out of the truck. They ran up behind Daniel, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him into the alley.

"What the fuck?! Who are you? What do you want?!" Daniel said frightened. He looked at the 3 men in masks. Sledge pulled up his hammer, and smashed the cement wall behind him.

"If you ever go near Kasey again, this hammer, that just smashed this cement wall behind you, will make contact with your face and every bone in your body." Sledge backed up, and Thatcher moved forward holding his glowing EMP grenade.

"This grenade, can make any electronic device, disappear in a second, just… poof. If I ever see you within 50 feet of Kasey, if i ever see you lay another hand on Kasey, I will shove this down your throat and make you swallow it. I've never seen what it does to internal organs. Are we clear?"

"You gonna threaten me too glowing mask guy?"

"You see, I'm not much older than you, and I've killed hundreds of people. Terrorists, enemies, you name it. My aim with a gun, is godly. If you don't believe me, you can go near Kasey, and find out for yourself. And i repeat as my friend said, are… we… clear?" Mute's mask glowed in Daniel's face.

"We're dating what do you want from me?" Daniel asked shaking. Mute stroked Daniel's face as he started to speak.

"You're going to text her, right now, that you guys are over, then you're going to block her on everything, and avoid her. And if you see her, or bump into her. You're going to say I'm sorry, and walk away. And if you think for one second, we are not watching. We ARE." Daniel quickly pulled out his phone and followed Mute's instructions. Sledge walked up again with his hammer slowly.

"You may go now. Daniel." Sledge said in a monotone voice. Daniel ran to his back and headed for school.

"Let's go back to my house and change before James get's back. I have something to discuss with you guys."

"Ah the vague guy returns." Sledge said. Once the 3 men got back into the truck, they all removed their masks and remembered why they love doing what they do.

"It's not as exhilarating as being in a yellow smoked up university, but it definitely was worth it for Kasey." Thatcher said. When the group arrived back at Mark's home, they almost instantly switched from being the SAS, to just being Mark, Mike, and Seamus. They took off their uniforms and once they put them away, James walked into the house.

"Guess who finally got laid!" He said smiling and slightly dancing.

"With the runner girl?" Mark said running up for high a five.

"Yea man! I was on my run this morning and she said she missed me, i said i liked her we kissed, ran back to her house, then fucked. And i definitely am going to do that again. I really like her guys. I'm 35 and now, i just know i have found the one."

"While I have still yet to find the one. Even if I am 10 years younger than you." Mark laughed and opened up a can of beer.

"Then there's me, who's stuck in a loveless marriage, and a dishonest one too." Seamus drank almost the full can as he thought about Maranda.

"Still haven't told her?" Mike asked not being able to understand, since he was in a happy marriage.

"No but Kasey knows. She was on the phone while I was talking to her." Seamus replied. "But how am I supposed to tell my wife, that while on a mission to save Bartlett, i was in a group with random people from around the world, and i fell in love with Ash, or Eliza Cohen, and then, we slept together…"

"Multiple times…" James added.

"Yes.. Multiple times. Oh and even better, that I've been talking to Eliza, and we plan to be together, and I plan to leave Maranda and then be disowned by my entire family. Easy topic right?" Seamus sat and laid his head on the kitchen table.

"Oh yea… Easy… I'm sorry man. But, uh, speaking of Eliza, or more so Ash, I've been contacted by the FBI Swat unit, apparently there is a group of terrorists in Redmund, Oregon, they have 2 bombs we need to disarm, and they feel that us four with their four, would be a good pairing, and I thought we should talk about it, considering you and Ash, and we just got back last night from Bartlett." Mark looked at his 3 friends in hope.

"When would we leave, how long would we be there, you know all the details please?" Mike asked.

"Well, we would be flown out tomorrow morning, and be back within the next couple of days."

"I think I can manage." James said.

"Me too, I'll have to consult my wife of course, but she should be fine with it." Mike replied.

"I mean, of course I am going. I miss Eliza already." Seamus said.

And with that, the 4 friends looked at each other, ready to get back in action.
