Everyone's got a daily routine when they wake up in the morning. For some people, it's working out. For others, it's sleeping in just an extra couple of minutes.

For Pyro, it was burning things.

So when Pyro awoke to their alarm going off, they went straight to their desk in the corner of their small room, grabbing their lighter and a piece of paper. They then lit the paper aflame and watch the paper slowly turn dark and crumble to ashes, a happy smile on their face. After grabbing their gear and slipping on their gas mask, Pyro went down to the kitchen to see what was cooking for breakfast.

The rest of the team was awake and seemed to have the same idea as their fire-loving teammate and were all sitting around the large table, awaiting Engie to finish cooking up this morning's grub. Pyro sat next to a somehow wide awake Scout as he chatted on and on to Sniper about baseball, the older man didn't seem very interested as he just nodded, eyes threatening to shut.

"And then my team managed to hit three home runs in a row. We won almost sixteen to three, it was freakin' amazing!"

"Uh, huh. Wow, mate. That's. . .wow", mumbled a tired Sniper.

"Yeah, and you wouldn't-"

Before he could continue his story, Scout was interrupted by Engineer walking over to the table, two plates piled high with pancakes in his hands. Everyone shut up quickly and stared at the glorious food. Engie set the food down on the table and smiled at his hungry friends.

"Well? What are ya'll waiting for? Dig in!"

No one needed to be told twice as the men grabbed forks and started to get their share of the pancakes. Pyro waited until they saw an opening and took a stab at one of the flapjacks with their fork, only for another fork to stab down next to theirs. The fork in question belonged to the Demoman, Tavish.

Demo smiled at Pyro, before removing his fork, "Sorry, lad. Didn't realize you wanted that one. Go ahead."

Pyro nodded their thanks and took the pancake, setting it down on their plate. They poured syrup and slathered it with butter before getting up and leaving the kitchen. This didn't confuse or bother anyone as they all knew Pyro didn't like to eat in front of the other mercenaries as it meant they had to remove their mask.

What was under Pyro's mask was one of the biggest mysteries in the RED Base and no one knew who or what was behind the arsonist's mask. But little did anyone know was that Pyro's biggest secret was about to be solved.

All it would take was a little bit too much to drink and the wrong room.
