'Weapon Identification; Cherry.'
She smiled as she picked up her rifle, 'oh yeah.'
She turned around expecting the robotic voice of the woman to say, 'weapon identification; Reaper,' but there was no sound.
Leah looked around the ship and got worried, why wasn't he here? She thought.
Sarge gave everyone the look to sit down and Leah had to comply, her thoughts were reassured however when before Sarge could shut the door, Reaper held him up.
Sarge smiled as Reaper walked past him to claim his weapon and sit next to Cherry. Cherry played it cool, 'need time to put your lipgloss on, sugar?'
Reaper smirked at her, 'only person sweet like sugar here is you.'
Cherry rolled her eyes but smiled anyway at the, sort of, compliment.
It was a long ride when suddenly, Sarge started speaking to Reaper. 'It's been ten years, you even sure she's still up there?'
Who? Was the first thing that entered Leah's mind when he said that. Reaper knows someone in Olduvai? A FEMALE someone?
'Yeah,' John said looking away. The light went red overhead signalling they were landed when Reaper continued, 'gotta face your demons sometime.'
Sarge made a face and went to look at Leah who avoided eye contact to pretend she hadn't been listening.
'Fall in.' Sarge announced before they left the plane in a single file.
Reaper and Cherry guarded the entrance of the elevator as everyone stepped inside, but The Kid was hesitating. Reaper looked over at Leah who glanced at him before looking at the Kid again.
Before she could say anything though, he swallowed and continued on. Reaper and Cherry stepped in after everyone else in time to catch Sarge say to Kid, 'you hesitate, somebody dies.'
Leah watched the Kid swallow hard again and couldnt help a tug on her lips, awww, poor thing.
Reaper looked up at the elevator roof as they depleted down below ground. Leah placed her hand on his arm and he looked at her and smiled. But it was forced, she could tell.
'Have you ever gone through the Ark before?' Kid asked Goat.
'Once, training mission.' He answered like it was normal. Leah remember the Ark on the Training Mission, she had felt ill for hours afterward and couldnt concerntrate on the Training.
This was going to be worse if she was distracted by feeling queasy, since this was an actual mission.
'Reaper.' Sarge ordered as he stepped forward and leaned forward before his entire body was completely overlapped in the liquid thing and he was gone as a flash of light disappeared into the ground.
One by one they went and Leah went before Duke and after Goat.
She landed on her back when she landed and like she had predicted, her stomach was in her throat and she thought she was going to be sick. In front of John. Embaressing.
Reaper's hand was in front of her face though as he offered her a hand to get up. She took it gratefully and they moved quickly out of the way before Duke appeared, landing on his ass.
'Ass hurt Duke?' Portman asked and Cherry laughed and she grazed her hand up Reaper's arm and around his neck. He chuckled under his breath but moved away leaving a pout on Leah's face.
Before she could say anything though, Sarge appeared, and landed on his feet. 'Everyone okay?'
'Portman and Kid threw up, we are good though.' Mac said. Leah looked around and then just as quickly looked away when she had been proved right, Portman and Kid had indeed threw up. There was a puddle of evidence on the ground to prove it.
'Is it always that rough?' Kid asked remembering.
'Believe me, it used to be a lot rougher.'
A man, or half of one, wheeled its way towards us. He then said a lot of stuff Leah didn't understand, and evidently nor did Kid as he asked her question for her.
'What does that mean?'
Reaper glanced at him and smirked, 'he means he went to one Galaxy, his ass went to another.'
'Marcus Pinzerowsky, you can call me Pinky, follow me.' He wheeled his way around and led us into an Atrium. Reaper seemed to tense up when suddenly, a blonde woman was in front of us.
'Hello Sargeant,' she said.
'Dr Grimm,' Sarge said back.
Then she said something that made Cherry freeze, 'hello John.'
Leah stared at her and then John when she answered, 'hello Samantha.'
'Oooh, Samantha.' Duke called making everyone look at him.
'Look, no disrespect but this is an RRTS mission, we really dont have the time to be taking passengers.' Cherry raised her eyebrows, say what?
'Excuse me but I am to collect data from three servers, Anthropology, Forensics and Gentetics.'
Reaper looked at her like she was being ridiculous, 'this is important, we really arent here to collect your Science homework.'
Everyone was watching the two now, married? Divorce gone badly?
Leah didnt want to believe any of those, Reaper was hers now, right? But Cherry, inside, knew that answer was a huge NO. He was never hers, and never will be. They are just sleeping buddies.
A comfort zone for one another.
'I have an idea, why don't you ask your CO, what your orders are.' Everyone looked at Sarge now. Sarge looked at Reaper, 'to neutralize the threat, protect the civilians and recover all UAC equipment.'
Reaper looked at him and back at the floor.
'Now are we done here?' Sam asked, 'because I have work to do.'
She walked off and they followed her. 'Hey,' Cherry said to John, 'you okay?'
'Yeah,' he said curtly.
'Dude, no offence on you Sugar Sweet,' he directed at her before turning to Reaper, 'but please tell me you didnt let a fine piece of ass like that get away?'
Leah's blood boiled as she waited for his answer.
Reaper looked back at him, 'she's my sister.'
Inside Leah was celebrating. He was still hers, right?
