Hi again! As requested by MASHlover23, this is yet another HEAIM fic! OK, this is the prologue, not the whole thing, but still.
In a war, your friends become your family, and that's fine. Then sometimes you stay in touch with your war family in peacetime, and that's also fine. But sometimes your peace family and your war family hate each other. That's not fine.
Sometimes, though, you force your peace family to spend time with your war family. That's really not fine. That will never be fine.
That's how I, Beck Pierce-McIntyre, came to lose it in a Californian prison. OK, it wasn't exactly Alkatraz.
Maybe that would have been preferable...
