Chapter 2

The group consisting of Alex, Jack and K-Unit sat on the bunks in the larger room. Nobody said anything for a few minutes as the two parties looked each other over. Alex was determined to not be the first one to speak.

Just before Wolf could start yapping and yelling (even though he did have respect for Cub, he still did not like the idea of a child being involved with anything this dangerous), Jack clapped her hands once and smiled, ''Well then, I am Jack Starbright and I am A...'' Alex kicked her swiftly, Jack scowled, ''Uh yes I am Cub's guardian. And also don't make me angry!'' Ben, a.k.a Fox, was the only one of K-Unit to laugh. Wolf glared at the red head and both Snake and Eagle looked a tad fearful.

''Fine. If you want to start with introductions. I'm Wolf, over there's Fox and those two are Eagle and Snake respectfully.'' Jack mumbles something that sounds alot like 'Finally able to place faces to the names.'

''Now... CARE TO TELL US WHY YOU ARE HERE?''

Jack jumped slightly and glared at Wolf. Alex sighed tiredly. ''Sergeant already knows the gist of it. But I'll explain.'' He had K-Unit's attention (Fox occasionally glanced over at Jack who for her part just acted oblivious).

''I'm here to recover properly after my latest injuries and when recovered, I will train with the Unit.'' Wolf, Snake and Eagle frowned. ''What are your medical details in regards to the shooting?'' Snake asked. He really needed to know so that he is able to help Cub in future.

Jack frowned, ''How did you...?'' Fox was the one to answer her, ''He is our team medic. It's his job to help our Unit.'' Fox smiled at Jack who answered with a nod and a quiet 'oh!'.

Eagle frowned, ''Okay so we now have an idea as to why Cub is here, but why are you here Miss Starbright?''

Jack pulled a face and Alex turned towards Eagle to answer, ''Protection.''

Eagle nodded thoughtfully and then got a huge smile on his face. ''Good. Because if you were here for training, we would have been screwed!''

Jack barreled over and tackled Eagle of his bunk, she then proceeded with punching him. Fox and Eagle had to move quickly in order to atleast try save Eagle.

Wolf looked over at Cub and met his eye. Wolf nodded at Cub - showing his respect to the young man. Cub silently appreciated it. He already had more than enough enemies.

Wolf put on his best glare and stalked towards Eagle, he pulls him up, ''Come on Twinkle Toes, before Red castrates you!'' Wolf dragged Eagle out the door and left the remaining four laughing.

Alex felt the pain shoot from his chest to his arm and winced, holding his chest.

''Right let's get you to your bunk and then I can check you over.'' Snake got up to move Cub with Jack helping.

''Snake, should I go get another first aid kit from the infirmary?'' Fox asked. Snake nodded, ''Also get some painkillers would ya?''

So with that, Fox made his way over to the infirmary. He past a group of new reqruits who respectfully greeted him. He returned the greeting wondering why there is such a high level of reqruits this year. His mind started to wander. To Alex being here and recovering. To the red haired female now sharing their cabin. And finally to the private situation at hand.

Alex laid back down on his bunk and stared up at the roof as Snake started checking his healing wound.

Snake let out a low whistle. ''Cub! You could have been killed!''

Alex didn't reply and Jack sat on her bunk smiling sadly at him. He smiled back and turned his head to face Snake.

''Snake? Even though the rest of the Unit and Sergeant knows, nobody else can find out.'' Alex said in a dead serious tone. He looked directly into the medic's eyes. Snake sighed and nodded. ''I understand. Plus you are part of our Unit. You are one of us.'' Alex understood the meaning behind the man's words.

Wolf and Eagle walked towards the dinning hall. It wasn't time for dinner yet, but Wolf had taken it upon himself to get Eagle to calm down from his hyper mood. So after about five minutes of constant talking from Eagle, Eagle grew quiet. But unfortunately the silence didn't last long for Eagle started whistling.

Wolf groaned and then scowled at Eagle, ''Do you ever shut up?'' Eagle laughed and shook his head. Wolf rubbed his head and stopped a few feet short of the dinning hall. Eagle noticed and stopped aswell.

''So we stopped because?'' Eagle asked. He turned to look at where Wolf was staring. ''Ha! I forgot the newbs have to do that shit!'' Eagle laughed. Wolf smirked as he watched for a few minutes at how a group of new reqruits are handling a mud bath. As mundane as it may seem, it does build character.

Wolf headed over to where C-Unit and members of some other Units were busy with the new soldiers. Some of the Units stayed at camp to train reqruits whilst others go out into the feild. And some, like K-Unit, do both. But K-Unit was different...

Eagle walked along with Wolf and started whistling again. The two of them stopped a couple of yards away from some of the other members of other units.

Some people had noticed their arrival. Even though nobody ever said anything to indicate it infront of any member of K-Unit, the members of K-Unit were legends. Heck, their whole group was extreme. Very few others were at the same level. And some have speculated that K-Unit often did missions for MI6.

Fow returned to their cabbin with an extra first aid kit, two bottles of pain medication aswell as a bag with bottled water. Sometimes it did help when you have nurses drooling over you. He put the stuff down on his bunk and ran his hand over his relatively short black hair. He heard Jack talking to Snake in the other room. He put some of the bottles in his locker behind some clothes (knowing Eagle, they would be empty by tomorrow morning if not hidden) and stood to take the other stuff to Snake in the other room.

However he didn't have to move more than a few steps with Snake and Jack coming out of the room. Jack closed the door behind her quietly.

''Good, you're back.'' Snake said in a low tone. Cub must be sleeping.

Jack smiled at Fox, ''Snake gave him some meds and he drifted off to sleep.'' Fox nodded, ''Thought as much. How's it looking Snake?''

Snake sighed, ''He could have died. But he's lucky. Very damn lucky!'' Fox frowned but decided to not comment seeing the look on Jack's face. ''Hey I got some bottled water aswell. Get yourselves some and hide them. Then I'll put the rest on Wolf and Eagle's bunks.'' Snake accepted some bottles whilst Jack looked at the bottles.

''What's with the water?'' She asked. Fox smiled at her, ''Well unfortunately it does happen from time to time that drinking water around here isn't always suitable for drinking.''

Jack pulled a face. She gratefully took some bottles for Alex and herself and quietly went to put them in their lockers.

A couple of minutes later, Wolf and Eagle returned. Eagle was laughing about something or another before he got a headslap from a very irrate red head motioning for him to keep it down.

When it was time for dinner an hour later, Fox had volunteered to bring Jack and Alex some food in order for Alex to get some more rest.

''Thank you, I would appreciate that!'' Jack answered with a genuine smile.

On their way to dinner, ''So... You like Red?'' Eagle taunted Fox. Fox punched Eagle on his arm and glared. Snake laugher at the exchange and Wolf shook his head as if to say, 'What happened to my team?'

The four of them were in line waiting to get some grub (or rather mush) with Fox and Snake making sure they get food for Cub and Jack. One of J-Unit's members was standing behind Eagle and questioned the extra food.

''Hey Eagle, what's with the extra plates?'' Panther asked. Eagle gave him a cocky grin, ''Well that you will find out soon enough!''

Fox quickly finished his dinner and headed back to the cabbin with Cub and Jack's food. He walked inside and found the door to the second room open. Walking over, he popped his head inside to check that they were there.

Jack was sitting on her bunk reading and Alex lay wide awake looking at Fox.

''Brought dinner! By the way, it's good to see you awake Alex!'' Fox smiled.

''Well Ben, I can't sleep my life away now can I?'' Alex answered sarcasticly.

''Oh! So the two of you are on first name base?'' Jack had put her book down and looked between Alex and Ben who only smiled in return.

Fox sat with them as they ate their dinner (Jack gave the food a 'what-the-fuck' look) and Fox told then about some of the stuff K-Unit teach around camp when they are here.

When both Alex and Jack had finished and their plates were on a small table in the corner, Jack spoke up. ''Uh, where is the bathroom?''

A couple of minutes later found Fox standing guard outside the closest bathroom to their cabbin. Alex was sitting just inside the door waiting for Jack to finish her shower in one of the stalls. Alex had finished his own shower in just over ten minutes - it takes a while to make sure his bandadges don't get wet.

''So Cub... How does it feel being back here?'' Fox asked kindly at Cub after he glared at some passing soldiers who wanted to use the bathroom. Cub glanced out the door and glared at Fox. Fox just laughed until he noticed a reqruit staring at Cub.

''Oi! Stop staring and move your sorry arse!'' Fox yelled at the blonde haired soldier.

''You know they will talk and stare in anyway right?'' Cub looked up morbidly at Fox.

Fox shrugged, ''You are ranked higher than them even if they don't know it yet.'' Silence fell between them. Alex could laugh at the situation he now found himself in. He would never have seen himself as a part of K-Unit. But then again, not so long ago he didn't see himself as anything other than normal.

''So is the coast clear for us to head back?'' Jack asked from where she was tying her hair back and pulling a hoodie over her head.

Alex got up from where he was sitting and Fox turned to face Jack, ''Uh yes, yes let's go.''

Alrighty then! Remember to review!
