Hey everyone, I'm back, and happy New year! Nothing really to say here, just enjoy the cringe writing.
Gabe Woke up, not to an alarm, but to a quiet thumping seemingly coming from the other side of the wall. Gabe fell out of bed, and rustled through his duffel bag, finding his phone, getting blinded by the home screen, and looking at the time 1:38 AM "fuck me." Gabe said turning his phone off, and going out to investigate on the thumping. Gabe looked out into the Hall, and saw that he was grouped in with the FBI operatives. He went next door and saw the name tag, Eliza "Ash" Cohen. Gabe continued to knock on the door, hearing a very quiet gasp, and a little fumbling. The door opened revealing Ash standing there looking tired, with a hint of nervousness. "Oh, hey rookie… you need something?" She said nonchalantly. "Actually, I heard thumping coming from over here and I just wanted to make sure you were alright." Gabe said, already knowing what was happening. "Oh uhhh… I'm alright, I just fell out of bed" Ash said tiredly, in a weak attempt to get Gabe to stop asking questions. "Well, were you repeatedly falling out of bed?" Gabe said, breaking the thin facade. "Look, you probably already know what's going on, I'm sorry, but, I've been waiting awhile to do this, ok?" Ash said, giving up. "No, no, you look, I've got to be pepper sprayed tomorrow, tazed, and have to give my best for basic training, and I'm pretty sure that a full night's sleep helps, yeah?" Gabe said, trying not to get too loud. "Just… stop? Or do it in the bathrooms for God's sake." With this Gabe left, getting back to his bed, and wanting the sleep before basic training. "Yeesh, he is very on the nose…" Ash said to herself. Walking back to her… interests.
The next morning
Gabe Woke up, now being woke up by his alarm, only silenced by his hand after 3 attempts. "Third time's the charm" Gabe said, lifting his head from his pillow. After getting dressed, Gabe stepped out into the hall, his only thought being to get coffee. Gabe proceeded to walk down stairs, seeing the news on the TV, with sledge and Twitch being the only ones really paying attention, and a small line for coffee, an irritated groan coming from Gabe. Gabe looked around spotting more operators, with Tachanka grabbing his attention, when he saw the clear bottle with a red label, signifying either water, or vodka. But with Gabe's training in Russia, he already knew that he was drinking vodka, at 7 am. Gabe continued to the line for the coffee.
5 minutes later
Gabe had gotten his coffee, standing behind the couch watching the news. "In other words, reports in Russia suggest that terrorists of unknown alliance have set up an outpost in the Siberian mountains, the Russian government has yet to confirm these reports." The reporter said, before commercials aired. "Twenty bucks says it's white masks" Sledge said, leaning back. "I don't know" Twitch responded "that's pretty outside of their normal outpost escapades, the farthest they've gone is Germany, and even then they were shut down almost immediately. So I'll take you up on that bet" She said, smugly, crossing her arms. "I'm gonna go with Seamus here," Gabe said, butting in, "I'd prefer there not be a new terrorist threat." "yeah, fair enough, this is the first twenty dollars I hope I lose." Twitch said, looking back to the TV. "Oi Gabe! Training in half an hour!" Thatcher said, attracting the attention of everyone in the room. Gabe shook his head in acknowledgement, and took a long sip of his coffee.
Not even 3 minutes later
Gabe didn't exactly know how he got into this situation. He was currently being a shoulder for Tina, "Frost" to cry on, in the last 3 minutes, from when he took that sip of coffee, and when Frost came into the room, she was crying, and Gabe was going back to his room, so he was the first person she saw, so he was the victim, and, Gabe wasn't exactly good with situations like this, and almost immediately froze, while Frost held his shoulder, Gabe asked "d-do I know you?" "I'm sorry, I just need someone to talk to" Frost said, sobbing in between sniffs. Gabe looked over to the rest of the operators, looking for some modicum of help, with blank stares looking back, pitying his situation. Gabe walked her over to the couch, and made room, forcing Sledge over to a recliner, and sitting down. "You alright? Ummm… what's… your name?" Gabe said, still very confused on what's going on "it's Tina, I'm just… I'm just…" she said before crying uncontrollably. Twitch then came over, shooing Gabe away, much to his relief, and asked her some questions as Gabe walked away, needing to get ready for training. "Hey, Tina, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Twitch said, concerned. "Cav…Cav… Tiana slept with Sebat-" she tried to say, before sobbing more. After Gabe was out of earshot, the two girls laughed at the fact that they were able to trick Gabe into really believing that something were wrong.
Around 27-ish minutes later.
Gabe walked outside to the shooting range, ready for anything, and ready to be pushed farther than ever before. Except for maybe the 3rd week of spetsnaz. He would never forget those 5 straight hours of physical and mental pain and suffering being behind Vadim on that 20 mile hike. Gabe shuddered at the memory. "Oi, Gabe! Get your ass over here!" Thatcher said impatiently. "Alright old man, I'm coming."
This was going to be worse than the 3rd week of spetsnaz, all because of 2 words.
"You fucking whot mate?" Thatcher said as Gabe approached "you did not just call me old man? Did you?" "Well, di-" Gabe said before being stopped by a swift blow to his liver. "Ohh f-" Gabe groaned while crouching on the ground, trying to regain his balance, his G18 falling out of its holster. Gabe regained his composure, stood back up and got back to business, at least he tried. "Look, you do not refer to me as old man, alright, rookie?" Thatcher said, pointing to Gabe. "Yeah, yeah, alright, I get it." Gabe said, still clutching his stomach. "Alright, first task of the day is just some basic mid-range shooting, I'm assuming you've brought your weapon of choice, yeah? Thatcher said, hands behind his back, like the last minute didn't happen. Gabe nodded, and reached over his back to pull out a medium sized weapon carry case, undid the two latches, and assembled his gun.
After about 2 minutes, he had the AS VAL assembled, and loaded, with Thatcher commenting on the strange appearance of the gun. "Looks like the barrel is a cylinder of salami that was put in a microwave and was left In for too long." "Is it tradition to mock the rookie?" Gabe asked dryly. "Well, maybe, we always try to get at least one big prank in." Thatcher said, putting some things into perspective. "So that Tina girl from earlier was one?" Gabe asked, not really preferring either answer. "Actually, if it was, I wasn't in on it, now get to it." Thatcher said, trying to end the conversation. A few silenced rounds flew down range, hitting the targets, yet this was only the beginning of training.
"Oh my God, that worked perfectly!" Twitch said to Frost, wiping a tear from her eye. "I know! He totally froze and everyone didn't do anything!" They sat and laughed for a minute before going their separate ways. Twitch was walking g back to her room, but on her way, she noticed Gabe's room on the left side of the hallway. An idea suddenly hit her.
She snuck into the room, and saw Pai, sitting on the table. This was going to be good. Twitch sat down, and before she could do anything, Pai spoke up. "Hello, you must be Emma Pichon, yes?" It asked, as cheery as ever. "Oh… uh… hey, you're on… wait, how do you know my name? Twitch asked. "I downloaded every operator file, and only what was on them." Pai responded, ready to answer any questions. "So, your Gabe's robotic wife, huh?" Twitch said jokingly. "Were you planning to tamper with me?" Pai said, quickly revealing Twitch's master plan. "Ummm… no? Why would I do that?" Twitch said, suddenly needing a way out of this situation. "Because if you were, I would send a message to Gabe, with a picture, of your face, and what you did." Pai said, ready to do so if she tried. "Woah now, no need to get arduino boards in a twist, I was just going to play a prank on Gabe, alright?" Twitch said, tempted to just leave at this point. "Look, I'm not going to lose an argument with a robot, much less you." Twitch said, now ready to stand her ground. "But you are." Pai said, earning a look of annoyance from Twitch. "Look, I'm done with you, ok?" Twitch said, leaving the room, forgetting she was heading to her own room. Twitch stepped back out into the rec room, and saw everyone crowded around Dokkebi. "Hey, what's all this about?" Twitch asked, confused by the crowd of people. Everyone looked up at her, and then Glaz spoke up. "You just lost an argument with a robot." he said, before Twitch knew exactly what was going on. Pai had broadcasted her attempt at a prank to Dokkebi, giving everyone, but Twitch, a good laugh. And as things went on, Gabe and Thatcher went by the rec room to get to the basement to get some more targets "what's all this about?" Thatcher said, looking at the crowd of people. "Someone may have just tried to mess with Gabe's gadget" Echo said, looking up from Dokkebi's tablet, not giving any major details away to Thatcher, so he could see the video later. But, Gabe already knew, because Pai had sent him a notification, telling him all the details. "Well then, we have to work harder on these pranks, we still got 12 hours to prank this guy, an I don't even know about any of them, if any at all." Thatcher said, making Gabe want to have eyes on the back of his head for the rest of the day.
The rest of the day went on as usual, mostly hanging around base, and not doing too much. Once Gabe was done, the operators had an idea. "So you guys are having a party tonight?" Gabe asked Smoke. "Yeah, lots of alcohol and stuff like that, you probably don't want to drink too much, seeing as you've got more training tomorrow." Smoke said, trying not to laugh at the fact that the prank would involve a lot of alcohol, a car, and about 5 miles of distance. "I'll probably stick around for a little bit, don't want to be pranked." Gabe said, a little sad he wasn't going to be able to party till midnight. "Alright, it's at nine tonight, i'd recommend that you stay away from Twitch, she has probably got some payback planned." Smoke said, trying to give the slightest hint to what was going to happen. "Alright, well, I'm going to go to my room and work on Pai if you need me." Gabe said, walking away. "Alright, see you later." Smoke said, reaching for the remote to change the channel.
9:00, at the party.
"Hey guys, how's it going?" Gabe asked as he walked into the rec room. "Hey, it's Gabe, make sure to not drink too much tonight, you got training in the morning, and whatever you do, don't order a toxic beauty, you will most likely wake up with an STD." Thatcher said, taking a sip of whiskey. "Alright, but no guarantees though." Gabe said, walking over to the mini bar. Rook passed another drink down to Bandit, the glasses beginning to pile up, and it was looking to be a long night of keeping Bandit out of trouble for the GSG9, but other than making drinks, he was looking out for Gabe, to give him a specialty drink, made to taste and look like water, but hit like a truck. Then he spotted him, walking over to the far right seat, next to Ying, who was drinking a glass of water. Rook walked over to Gabe, hoping to God that he ordered water. "Hey, you're the new rookie, aren't you? What can I get you?" Rook said politely. "Yeah, I am, just popping down here for a minute to get a water or something." Gabe said. "So one water?" Rook said, about to go and fetch the drink whether he said yes or not. "Yeah, sure." Gabe said, averting his attention elsewhere while Rook got his drink. "Here you go." Rook said, sliding the drink across the counter top. "Thanks, by the way, don't believe I got your name." Gabe said before taking a small sip. "Julien, I'm part of the GIGN." Rook said before being distracted by another order by Bandit. "Hold on, got to get this." He said before going over to Bandit to try and cut him off. Gabe suddenly got a notification from Pai saying that someone was in his room. "Oh fuck me, not again" Gabe said, quickly finishing his drink and heading to his room. Little did he know, he would be shit-faced in a few minutes. Just as he left, a few operators burst out laughing, including Thatcher, who knew he would not be ready for training tomorrow. Gabe got up to his room, and checked the room for anyone. "Hey Pai, did anyone mess with you?" Gabe said, slightly concerned. "No, noone has been in your room in the last hour, not including you." Pai said.
"I should stay with you just in case, shouldn't I?" He said, starting to feel a little woozy. "That would be recommended." Pai said. Gabe sat down and browsed through the laptop that Pai was hooked up to. He browsed for a little bit, his typing being a little sloppy, and eventually, got bored and came down stairs.
Gabe Woke up the next morning, in someone else's bed. He shot up immediately, then seeing Ying in bed with him, then recognising that he had no clue where he was. He looked out into the street, seeing that he was multiple floors up, in a hotel. "Oh, fuck me." Gabe said, starting to feel the symptoms of a hangover.
12 hours earlier
Gabe came downstairs and greeted everyone, and came down, and sat back down next to Ying. Gabe asked for another water, as well as Ying. Rook got their drinks, then went to talk to Smoke. "You gave him the second one, yeah?" Smoke asked, not able to wait for the answer. "Yep, I just hope I didn't accidentally give it to Ying, she just ordered more water as soon as Gabe did." Rook said, looking over to them. "I swear to God, if you gave Ying, the known lightweight queen of lightweights, she will be shit-faced faster than Gabe will be." "Well, if so, tonight is going to be a long night." Rook said, suddenly regretting his choices in the prank.
30 minutes later, both Ying and Gabe were shit-faced drunk, and Ying had suddenly become part of the prank. Twitch looked at them both and turned to Smoke. "So are we going to drop them both off at the hotel, check them in, and make sure they sleep in the same bed?" Twitch said, still confused on the sudden change in plans. "Yep, that's it" Smoke said, swinging the keys of his car around his finger. "I'll get them both, you guys don't worry about it." He said, approaching Ying and Gabe.
1 hour, a car seat in need of cleaning, and a prank completed later, Smoke came back, frustrated that he would have to clean his seats. "This better be good." Smoke said as he walked in the door. "Oh my god, you did it? Even the camera is in place?" Twitch said, excited to get revenge. "Yes, especially the camera. That was a bitch to do." Smoke said, going to get another drink.
12 hours later
"Huh…? Wha- Oh my god!" Ying said, quickly realising where she was, and covering herself, noticing she was only in her undergarments. "What the hell rookie? What the hell did you do?" Ying asked, afraid of the possible answers. "I'm not…sure... exactly what happened last night, all I know, is that I got drunk… and-" he said, being cut off by Ying "And what? Did we have sex?" She said, not sure what happened last night herself. "Look, just, I'll turn around, and you can change in the bathroom, alright?" He said, just wanting to get back to base.
20 minutes later, they were outside the hotel, waiting for smoke to pick them up, and them being especially mad we they they found the note that said "welcome to the team, rookie" on the table.
Alright! Thanks for reading this garbage, and yet again, happy late new year, and I know this isn't very
New year of me, but I will probably break a few of the rules I set at the beginning of the story. Thanks again for reading, and if you have any suggestions for a story, just let me know, and it doesn't have to include my OC. Bye!
