After a long and tiring day on the job, Team Rainbow finally got the chance to rest in their beds at the base, where no conflict had been stirred before. A particular operator, Ash, has been very tired the past few days from all the missions she's been selected to undertake in nonstop. Day and night was she out making runs with the other operators, just hoping that one day this terrorism act would end so she can rest. After her latest mission ended, her and her team disbanded at the front entrance, all heading to each others rooms, just anticipating the good rest they've been thinking about on the way back. Ash walked back to her room with sleep conquering her mind and fatigue in her arms and legs from all the running, gunning, and vaulting she's been doing.

Ash finally entered her room and sat her R4-C rifle down by the door, next to her ruby skinned G36C. She squatted down and untied her red boots and tossed them to the side, hopping straight into bed, disregarding her armor vest, hat and glasses. Ash rolled over and looked at her alarm clock,seeing that it was 11:54pm. She rolled back to her original position, turning off the light beside her, and slammed her eyes close. About five minutes have passed before Ash was awoken from bed. "Not another mission, please..." she thought to herself as she stood back up, turning on the light in the process.

She opened the door and was greeted by her friend, Valkyrie. The op was still wearing her outfit, from her head cloth that covered her blond hair, to her desert camo pants and boots, deagle still attached to her thigh. "Meghan, whatever it is can it wait until morning?" Ash groaned, hoping she would say yes. "Actually," she started, "me and some of the girls are going out tomorrow since we have the rest of the week off and wondered if you were interested in coming with." Silence filled the area before the red headed FBI op responded, "No I'm fine." before closing the door and jumping back in bed.

*The Next Day*

As the other ops awoke and began their morning in the cafeteria for the coffee and breakfast or in the rec room surrounding the coffee pot, Ash remained at peace in the comfort of her bed. Hours passed before she finally awoke and checked the time; It was 2:31pm. She sat up and moved to the edge of the bed, wiping her eyes and removing her combat vest. She stepped from her bed and walked to the door, sleep still in her eyes. She opened the door and entered the halls, the smell of lunch was drawing her to the cafeteria.

As she entered the cafe, Ash saw her friends IQ, Hibana, Thermite, and Ela, all sitting in a booth table by the entrance. "Well look who finally decided to wake up." Hibana laughed, sipping her water. "Yea, you didn't rush in here like you did the last few missions you were in." Thermite added, scooting over to allow Ash to sit. The red headed op sat at the edge of the booth and placed her head down on the table, dropping her hat on the floor. "Man," Ela started, "You seem exhausted. Maybe you should take a break." Ash just gave a tiring groan and slowly rose from the table, "I really wish I could. But it IS my job and I can't really decline anything from Rainbow." IQ chimed in, "Maybe you should go out and do something on your free time. We can go to the spa, go to the movies, go shopping, ya know, fun stuff." Ash yawned, "I think I'll stay here and rest."

Ash returned back to her room and sat on the edge of her bed, pulling out her phone from her pocket. She began scrolling through her Siegebook feed when she heard a loud thud outside her room. She quickly hopped off the bed and ran to the door to see what was going on. Upon opening up, she saw that Fuze had tackled Pulse onto the floor. "What the actually fuck are you two doing?" Ash asked, relieving a disappointing sigh. "Ah, Eliza," Fuze grumbled, trying to restrain Pulse, "maybe you can help a Russian by kicking some sense into you partners head here while I have him down." Pulse underneath Fuze, can be heard struggling on the floor, trying to escape the heavy operator, "Hey c'mon man it was a joke. Besides, if you kill me, you won't know where your vodka's at." Ash backed away and closed her door.

*Hours Later*

Caveira came walking down the hall, after a long mission she was on, and knocked on Ash's door. Eliza opened the door and saw the face painted BOPE op standing in front of her. "Ah Taina, I see you're back from your mission." Ash stated, walking back from the door. "Yea," Cavi replied, walking in and closing the door, "I got some blood all over my knife; Alot more than I normally do actually." Ash chuckled, "Heh, I remember you always getting so excited to interrogate someone as you knocked them out." The two girls laughed it out for a minute before returning to the conversation. "Oh man Cohen," Cav chuckled, "you still remember that?" "How can I not? It was your first week in Rainbow." Ash replied as she walked into the kitchen portion of her room.

Taina looked down towards the lower part of Ash's waist as she walked away from her. The FBI op's ass was the eye grabber to Cavi's attention and sweat began beating on her face. Ash broke the silence by sparking up the next conversation. "So how'd the mission go?" Eliza asked, bending over in the fridge. Cav was quiet for a minute, taking in the sight Ash was revealing to her. "Taina?" Ash snapped her out of her frozen state, "Are you ok? Your sweating alot. Are you sick?" Cav wiped her sweat off, "Oh no, I'm ok." she replied, walking to the door. As she opened the door, she looked back to Ash, "I like your small ass." she stated and walked out.
