Author note

Wow I've been coming out with a lot lately… Oh well! But don't worry I shall not abandon any of these projects until they are finished! This will be a bunch of one-shots centered around…. You guessed it… Noble Team : D! And these ones are serious : |. I know what your thinking, Emile/Six wtf! But! I assure you it make a moderate amount of sense to my odd brain. The thought came to me one day and I just fell in love with it, I mean their both badasses right? So it fits, just read hopefully it will be good. Most of these will be Six/Emile, Kat/Carter (My favorite : D), and some slight or more Six/Jorge (I don't know who I like Six better with D : you guys will just have to read and help me decide ; ) ) Sorry for long explanatory AN!

I do not own Halo!

Enjoy : )


Six was leaning against the wall of the cave Noble Team had decided to take a rest in, relieved at the chance of getting at least a short break. She shifted, trying to get comfortable but found she couldn't, not with the her helmet on. She let out a huff of frustration towards the offending piece of armor. She let her eyes sweep the cave, Carter and Kat were at the entrance, keeping watch over the team, Jun and Jorge were on the other side of the cave, engrossed in a private conversation, and Emile was sitting against the wall across from her with his head bowed to his chest, seemingly asleep. Sighing Six turned around, reached up and grasped the sides of her helmet. She was about to pull it off when she sensed a presence behind her.

"So we finally gonna see that face of yours?" Emile's voice asked behind her. It wasn't coming from inside her head, he had turned his com off. She did likewise with hers.

"I'll show ya' mine if you show me yours." She challenged. He let out a chuckle.

"You're a tough one, I'll give you that Six." He was silent and for a moment and she thought he had left her in peace, but she wasn't so lucky. "Well since you won't show your face, how 'bout your name.

"How about no." She replied, getting irritated. Before she could blink, Emile had darted in front of her, trying to see the name written along the armor next to her neck.

"Sol-" Was as far as he got before her hand covered it. His brow twitched in annoyance, this new Six really got under his skin. He straightened up and looked down at her slightly, crossing his arms. "We're team mates now Six, I should at least now your name. But if ya' don't want to share it with me then your face will do just fine." Her unoccupied hand clenched into a fist at her side, there was no escaping Noble Four, that was for sure.

"Fine!" She snarled and turned her back to him. "I'll take off my helmet!" She grabbed her helmet once again, and with only a split-second of hesitation, pulled it off. She replaced her hand to covering up her name while the other held her dark orange and brown helmet loosely. Six took a deep and calming breath, and turned to face Emile. The other was surprised by what he saw to say the least.

Six's hair was longer then that of most Spartans, down to her shoulders and was a burnt-orange-brown, a very strange color. His eyes focused on her face. She looked like she could easily be beautiful, but multiple scars marred her features. Two long slash marks covered the left side of her face, the first starting above the eyebrow and running down over her eyelid to the center of her cheek, its twin started a little lower and was placed next to her eye, reaching down to her jaw. She also had a scar from the bottom of her right ear down her neck, it was accompanied by a few other smaller nicks that dotted her slightly tanned face. His eyes locked on hers, Augmented blue one starred back at him. "Happy now?" She snapped before she roughly shouldered passed him. He made her uneasy and she didn't know why. Maybe it was because to her, he didn't have a face, or maybe it was because they were more alike then any Spartan she had met before. She had befriended the rest of Noble Team quite easily but Emile was just a stone cold antisocial killer it seemed.

"Not entirely." He answered. She whirled on him.

"Fine then, I'll let you see my name, but first, you have to take of your helmet. That way we're even." Emile leaned back and Six waited for a reply. After what seemed like forever Emile finally spoke up.

"Deal." Six's eyes widened. He agreed to it? She was shocked but couldn't help anticipating seeing the other Spartan's face. Emile slowly lifted his hands to the sides of his helmet and pulled it off slowly, as if taunting Noble Six. She wasn't that surprised by what she saw.

Scars lined his face as well, the most noticeable being one perfectly straight line that horizontally spanned his right cheek. His skin was a very dark tan, the darkest skin color she had ever seen on a Spartan. She knew humans could easily be darker then that, but it was rare for a Spartan to have dark skin due to the fact that their bodys rarely saw the sun. His hair was nearly a buzz cut and jet black, but what was most unnerving about his intimidating appearance were his eyes, she couldn't tell the color, they were so dark they looked black.

"Looks like I got to keep my end of the deal." She said without a hint of emotion and removed her hand. Emile's eyes sought out the name faster then he could think and he read the female Spartan's tag almost eagerly.

SOLARA - B312

"Solara huh?"

"I go by Sol, its quicker to say out in the field." She unnecessarily explained. Emile nodded in reply, his face understanding.

"Glad to see you have a name and face Six."

"Glad to see you have one too Emile, its nice to see a face under that skull." Emile couldn't help but smirk, it seemed he and Six reached a mutual understanding of eachother, the distance between them suddenly bridged by the fact that they now knew that there was infact someone underneath that armor.


Well hope that was good. If you've seen the "Birth of a Spartan" trailer you'll understand the name thing or just look closely during game cinematics I think. I hope you guys like how I portrayed Six and Emile. Emile was SSSOOO hard to visualize, I must of spent forever just trying to picture his face :P I might go into his apearence in more detail but I don't know. I just absolutely love the name Solara so that's where Six got it, but don't worry if you happen to not like it she will mostly be referred to as Six anyway unless you want otherwise. These should be coming out quick (hopefully) but they definitely will be shootin' out during winter break. Hope you guys liked it see ya'll soon!
