A/N okay so just want to say I really didn't post that review. That was my friend. She was really upset that people didn't see the story. I knew that fanfic wasn't working properly. I really don't care if it doesn't go the way most of my stories have. Anyway with that out there let's continue the story. Hopefully it won't have so much dialog.

Chapter 2

Starting the project

Carolina wakes up to her alarm clock and slams her fist on the button. She rolls out of her bed and puts on a cyan t-shirt and jeans. She walks down to the kitchen and looks at a picture of her mother.

"I'm not going to let you down." She walks out of the house with her bag slung across her back and she sees the transport taking her and the other freelancers to the pelican. She gets on the transport and automatically sees York and the others. She walks over to them and sits with them.

"Hey you made it." She looks at York and gives him a weak smile.

"Hey what's wrong?" She looks at North and then looks at the ground.

"Nothing. It's just hard leaving home and the only family I have."

"Hey I get it. We all have to go through that at some point." She looks at him and looks at South.

"Really you have your twin sister with you." He shakes his head and looks at Carolina.

"Not what I mean. South and I had to leave our home and leave the only thing close to a mother." Carolina's look changes from skeptical to regret.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think it was that hard on you two. I mean you have each other."

"Hey it's okay. Really, we all do and say things we don't mean to." York hugs Carolina and she hugs him back. CT looks at everyone and decides to get their minds off of the subject.

"So do any of you know who the director is?" Carolina laughs and York shakes his head.

"CT no one knows who he is yet. All we know is that he's the one leading all of this."

"Wait how do you know the director is a guy?"

"My father told me. He knows the director, which is why I'm here."

"Wow."

The pelican stops and Maine get's on. He looks at everyone and just sits next to Wyoming. The pelican takes off and goes to the ship project freelancer is being controlled from. As the pelican reaches the Mother of Invention, Carolina sees a man hiding in the dark near the cockpit.

"Hey York, who's that?" York looks to where Carolina's pointing. He looks at the man then looks at Carolina.

"That's Butch Flowers, a.k.a Agent Florida. He really doesn't talk to us a lot." She looks at him and then rests her head on York's shoulder. She closes her eyes for a brief moment before the ship docks. She feels York wrap an arm around her and she doses off.

When the pelican docks York gently shakes Carolina to wake her up but she just shifts into a new position.

"Hey can I get some help?" The others laugh and South walks up to York to help wake up Carolina. She takes Carolina's arm and pulls her until York can move his body to free himself.

"Thanks, now how are we going to wake her up." Maine growls a little and walks up to York and South.

"Leave that to me." He leans near Carolina's ear and then says something that only Carolina and him can hear. She immediately jumps up and looks at Maine.

"Never say that again." She laughs as she says that and everyone relaxes.

"They needed you up. That was the only thing I could think of."

"Well don't say that. That is really... there is no word to describe that." The group leaves and they hear a female voice sound throughout the ship.

"All Freelancers please report to the training center." They head to the training center and see 40 other Freelancers. The nine of them go to the front of the huge group and see a man wearing a commander suit and another man wearing a suit.

"Hello everyone. I would like to thank you for coming here." The man speaking has a soft voice and seems very calm for what he is doing.

"I would like for you all to meet the Director. He will be giving you your orders."

"Thank you Counselor. As you all know I am the Director of this project. I will call the shots. I will also be responsible for giving you teams, armor, and an A.I. unit." The Director has a southern accent that's familiar to Carolina. In fact too familiar.

"Crap." York looks at Carolina. She didn't say it loud enough for everyone to hear but loud enough for him to hear.

"What's wrong?" She shakes her head and looks at him.

"I know who the Director is." The Director pulls up a image of a roster.

"These will be your squads. The leaders are the first name on the squad roster. These are the leaders: team five, Nebraska. Team four, Utah. Team three, Arizona. Team two, Georgia. Team one, Carolina. These are your leaders. Once you see what team you are on go to them. Team one will get their armor first. That is all." Carolina walks up to the Director and he looks at her.

"Agent Carolina is something wrong?"

"There's something I need to talk to you about sir. Alone." The counselor goes to talk to the other Freelancers so Carolina could talk to the Director.

"Really you didn't decide to tell me that you are the Director?"

"Carolina I didn't want you to know until you got here."

"Really dad? That's how you wanted me to find out that you were here?"

"Carolina I did this so you could focus on the missions."

"I almost cried because I was leaving my only family and you know that. You should have at least told me."

"Carolina I didn't mean to not tell you but you were still sleeping. Now we'll finish this later you have a team to get ready." She nods and walks away.

When she gets to the rest of the team she shakes her head. She sees the group and walks over to them.

"So looks like your our boss now."

"Yeah well I'm not that good at being a leader. That's the only trait I didn't get from my mother."

"Hey I'm sure you'll be better than the others. I guess that's why you are on Team one." Carolina shrugs and goes to the armory to get her armor. The rest of the team follows and they walk through the blast doors. Carolina looks around at all of the different armor before setting her eyes on a rouge helmet and rouge armor. She walks over to it and grabs the armor. South, North, Wash, and York grab mark IV variant armor. CT grabs EOD class armor, Maine grabs EVA armor, and Florida grabs ODST armor. They put on their armor and Carolina looks more dangerous than when she was just wearing her t-shirt. They go to color their armor and sure enough Carolina is first. She steps into the color generator and selects her colors. When she steps out her armor is cyan with silver trims and a gold visor. CT's armor is brown with white trims and gold eyes. York steps out wearing Tan armor with sliver trim, Maine comes out with white armor and orange trims, Florida has blue armor with a silver visor, North comes out with purple armor and green trims, South has magenta armor with green trims, Wash has steel colored armor and yellow trims. The last agent to walk out is Wyoming wit white armor and a gold visor. They walk out of the armory and go to their locker room.

"Hey guys has anyone seen that there is an extra locker?" York looks at Wash and shakes his head.

"Sorry Wash, didn't notice. Maybe that's supposed to be there." Wash just shrugs it off and looks at CT. She looks at him and smiles under her helmet. He realizes that he is and he smiles back. Carolina looks over at the two and shakes her head.

"Well you guys have fun doing whatever you are going to do." She starts to walk away but South stops her.

"Wait where are you going?" Carolina looks over her shoulder and glares at South.

"I have to talk to the Director." She leaves her team staring at her and York just smirks.

As she walks to the training center she sees the Director and Counselor talking.

"Director!" He looks over to Carolina and shakes his head.

"Carolina is your team having difficulties?"

"No but you and I have a conversation to finish."

"Right well luckily for you my conversation with the Counselor just ended."

"I should go get ready for our new agent." The Counselor leaves and Carolina takes off her helmet. Her eyes are a little red and the Director can only guess that she cried a little on her way here. She looks at him and then looks up at the viewing station.

"Carolina I know you're mad at me but I have a good reason for keeping this from you."

"I sure hope so, I really do, because if you don't I will make sure that I'm a pain in your ass until I think you've suffered enough."

"Carolina I did this without your knowledge because I wanted you to have a reason to fight as hard as you could. If you thought that you would only see me if you lived you would become the best agent in this project. Please Carolina hear me out. You know I would never do anything to hurt you and that I wouldn't keep things from you as a father if I didn't have a good reason."

"Well you have a good reason, but next time you want to do something to make me a better agent tell me. I don't want to go through this again."

"I promise Carolina. Now get back to your team. You'll be getting a new addition soon."

Carolina walks into the cafeteria and sees the team. She walks up to the table and sees Wash eating in his helmet.

"Hey Wash do you want to choke?" Wash looks up and sees Carolina.

"No I was trying to see if this..." He tries to talk but his mouth is full of food.

"Wash swallow." Wash swallows and finishes his sentence.

"...would work." Carolina shakes her head and laughs a little. York looks at her only to see that she is right next to him standing. 'Damn she's hot. I wish she wasn't in her armor though. That way I would see more of her.' Carolina hits York on the arm and looks at him.

"York what are you staring at?"

"Hmm oh um nothing."

The friends talk for a while before a agent in black armor with a gold visor walks in. The Director follows shortly there after. He looks at the group and then at the new agent.

"Team one meet your new agent. This is Agent Texas."

A/N okay so longer chapter but this has a little more descriptive parts. Anyone excited to see how Tex and Carolina will get along? I am anyway sorry for the language. I should have put a disclaimer about the Red vs. Blue language but anyway hope you liked the chapter.
