Just an Idea I was playing on and got help from XGlacierSkyx who is helping me co-write this. I don't own anything except for Jack/Kaida so Eve out and a word from Glacier
Glacier: Hello readers we hope you enjoy this remember to R&R so... TA DA!
I know there's something in the wake of your smile,
I get a notion, from the look in your eyes
Jackie was sitting down on her father's lap. She was watching him fix the small stealth droid, if she asked he would say "To watch you and mummy when I'm gone to fight bad men" he said.
She had his hair, dirty blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, but contained her mothers facial features. For a little girl she was beautiful.
Jackie didn't understand it, she had just learnt to say her name properly, "Jacqueline Renee Baird" She would say, being so little had made it hard to understand her. Kaida her best friend and dog, was in the living room with their mother. "Okay now we have to give him a name, Jackie?" he father asked.
"JACK! DAMEON! The trucks here" Her mother yelled.
"Coming Lilly, geeze more terrified of your mother than the bad men Jack, hmm...I think that's a good name JACK for Jackie" He said tapping with the droid once more it became active and started dancing around Jackie following her where ever she crawled.
Her father picked her up and took her out the front of their small house, a truck pulled up and her father friend came out.
"Unc'e Coly" She said jumping off her father. The man bent over and being picked up Jackie she saw he wore top and military pants. "Hey little Miss Jack been keeping out of trouble?" He asked her. Jackie made a face and he laughed, "I guess not" he said.
"She nearly set the bodyguard droid on fire by trying to dress it up as a fairy" Her father laughed.
"Have you finally named it yet or is it going to be just pretty numbers?" His father's friend joked.
"It's going to download a set for us to choose between" Her father answered
Her father kissed her mother goodbye and gave Jackie a hug and placed his dog tags around her neck. "You keep them safe Jack, I won't be gone forever, keep your mother safe" he said before climbing into the truck and waved until they couldn't see him.
Jackie went into the backyard and played around on the small playground out back with her dog Kaida, she felt the ground ruble and hit the ground, Kaida licked her face until she woke back up, her head hurt she rubbed it and felt blood come down it. How long had she been on the floor sleeping? She thought stumbling back into her own house. She entered inside her mother was they're looking at her but not moving, she was on the ground in a heap and blood seeped out of her heart.
Jackie saw the broken window and screamed "Mummy!" She tugged on her mother's dress "Mummy! Wake up!" She screamed at her mother. She wasn't waking up, Jackie grabbed her hand and her mothers wedding ring slid off her fingers. Jackie grabbed it and hugged it running out of the house, only she was greeted by strange lizard looking men. "DADDY! Save me!" She screamed.
Jack bolted up from her bed and fall off it, her roommate woke up to her thump. Sam Bryn rubbed her eyes and looked at Jack she got up and rubbed her shoulder.
"Same damn dream?" Sam asked.
"Yeah it never gets better" Jack got up and headed towards the shower they shared in a small bathroom.
"Wish you remembered your dream Kaida, it seems a bit off for that you seem all you remember is waking up" Sam said falling back on the bed and going back to sleep.
Jack sighed and looked at her mothers ring which was on her middle finger, she had one of her mothers teacups with a small chip in it and a small lock on her dog tags of her father to keep her safe. Her father's dog tags lay under her pillow and she kept them there when she slept or attached to her armour, she felt close to her parents that way. Even if she didn't know where the father was she knew where her mother was, she had long given up hoping he would come and save her.
Jack joined the COG when she was fifteen and lied about her age, she was tall enough but muscle was a different thing and she had proven she was worth it. Lucky she had inherited her father's skills with machines, got her a ticket to the frontline pronto. Not many mechanic's these days, rare as getting a break. Jack grabbed her belt and hooked her small pocket toolkit latched it to the belt before running outside and tied her blonde hair into a pony-tail.
"Kaida!" Her friend Terry Woods called to her.
Kaida had become her name around the base it meant 'fiery dragon' since she had a temper of a real one, also because they had found her with her dog's collar in her hand with Kaida written on it before she ran away from Jack.
Jack admitted it was wierd but she was really young when the locust attacked, probably five or six and the COG found her yelling at a dying locust to leave them alone. She didn't even know her age. She went over to Woods and knew he placed her to fix something she didn't want to.
"What is it Woods?" She asked.
"Delta Sqaud's coming in, they want you to do check up on weaponry, direct orders from command" Woods said.
"Delta huh? I thought they had their own mech?" She asked.
"They do, just the guy is an asshole. He's also a blonde like you, must run in the hair color or the mechanic part" Woods joked, Jack wacked him on the back of the head.
Jack headed into her workshop where a truck battered and dented to hell was lying in the middle. Jack grabbed her toolkit and began fixing underneath it and lay on a rollar-board she personally made and half used for skating when relaxing and that didn't happen often. She grabbed a spare engine part and fixed it in place when she felt someone enter the room. They were cursing and she just ignored them, something grabbed her foot and dragged her out.
"Who the hell is under there?" A man's voice said as she was pulled out with a wrench in hand to defend herself with if he got any idea's.
Jack stood up and looked him in the eye. He grabbed her arm rather hard, but Jack held her ground and looked him in the eye. "Jacqueline Renée Baird" she answered. "Who the hell are you?" she questioned leaving him gaping.
"Shit!" was all he said.
"Yeah you are, now let go of my arm asshole!" She snapped.
"Lady you can't order me around" he responded, why did it feel like he knew her? She tried thinking back, something must have placed him somewhere in her memories, right?
"You're a corporal" she concluded looking at what his uniform was. "I'm a Lt Captain! I can make you run the whole frigging base if I like now let go of my arm!" Jack pulled away.
"Yeah well…" he couldn't come up with a response.
"Am I interrupting something Captain and Corporal?" a voice came.
"Guess it's just another one of those days" she said before starting to fix the car. The man who owned the voice came in and looked at her questioning what was going on "Nothing Sarge, jut some dickhead in my garage" Jack said pointing to the blonde guy.
"Okay then, your on patrol in three hours don't forget!" He warned before leaving.
"Really that's all?" Jack asked,
"Yes..." he interrupted.
"Is it the radio again?" she questioned.
He handed it to her, the Sarge started going red as if embarrassed. "It's not picking up signals from as far as the comm tower," he said awkwardly. Jack grabbed it and fiddled with the dials, "I'll return it after patrol to see if it works" she said chucking it carelessly on a bench as the man left her alone with the blonde.
"This is your garage?" The blonde guy asked her.
"Yeah is that a problem?" she said placing her wrench up and grabbing her goggles to weld the car's bonnet back on, from the rack that contained her tools and other various stuff.
"No just didn't think a woman would be interested in mechanics, these days" he said.
"I wasn't originally from the beginning, but I had a knack for them like my father and they were needed in the COG. I guess that counted for something when I told them I wanted to be in the army plus they gave me a place to stay, sleep and food to eat. What's your name?" Jack asked looking up at him removing the goggles.
"Uh..." he trailed off.
"Nice to meet you, uh? Seriously though, what's your name?" she joked.
"Damoen Ramiraz" he said quickly.
An alarm sounded off and Jack quickly went to see outside, soldiers were rushing by to get into there sqauds and defense positions it had to be today didn't it? She thought. They just had to attack today, she ran inside to quickly place on her armour. The Ramiraz guy wasn't in here anymore probably with his squad, Jack didn't care she just didn't want to lose her home!
