A/N Hi I would like to thank 'Alpha Virus' for giving me some feedback on the beginning and for being my first review, that first one means a lot.

I had a severe case of Writers block on this so it's not going to be the best, I will eventually update this chapter much like that last one. Thank you again.

Running, just keep running, that what she though as she ran through a shadowy world surrounded by mysterious shadows which she somehow thought she recognised. She ran into one of the shadows while looking behind her, upon closer inspection of it she realised that it was one of her former team mates and hat she was behind haunted by people who she felt was her fault they died. Before she knew it they were all surrounding her and shouting her name "SPARTAN".

She woke up with slowly regained her senses, then she saw an ODST sitting next to her shouting her name for her to wake up, shot up with immense speed and made the sitting ODST jump a little. She turned to look at the ODST who was trying to calm her down by saying "Hey you're okay, it was a dream you were shouting random names" she shook her head to get rid of blurry vision and recognised it was one who was staring at her to where she replied by saying "Just stay away from me, I'm fine." He backed away slowly and tried to leave the tent before suddenly said "Stop, I'm fine I didn't mean to snap like that I'm just not use to people especially ODSTs comforting me…" she said almost feeling embarrassed about talking about her problems. Before the ODST left the tent he said in an empathetic tone "I'm here if you ever want to talk about it, we all suffer from nightmares and it's good to talk about them". He then proceeded to walk out.

Alexia decided that she needed something to get her mind off her nightmares so she decided to do some exercises at the makeshift gym, as she was getting ready for it a chronic pain in her arm reminded her that she was not going to be doing any activities like that. With her plans for today ruined she decided that what better way to get unwanted things out of her mind? She walked out of the tent and headed to a private area that was set up just for her, a place where she could be away from prying eyes. She sat down to do some calibrating on her armour and visor HUD, her armour consisted of a light red Mk IV Mjolnir EVA variant (Similar to Kelly-087 I like hers the best). She was trying to sort out the HUD by moving all the interfaces into places which she felt was comfortable as well as making sure all the pieces were in top quality before she would be heading out un be known to her was that she was being watched by someone, a certain ODST who found it fascinating, watching her calibrating her suit.

He kept watching for a while before she suddenly got the feeling that there were eye on her, being keep tabs on by someone, could it be ONI? She thought they like to keep tabs on their 'assets'. She spun around with fasts speed and just about caught the person spying, the only thing she saw was an emblem on the shoulder and helmet, a shield with 2 swords across each other, where did they get that idea? She thought. Anyway if she found out who had that emblem she would find out who was spying on her, she hated to be spied upon…

Back to calibrating her armour she eventually finished everything on that and ran out of things to eventually do, she thought about talking to some of the people she would be commanding, after all they would have to get use to her sooner or later.

I'm sorry this chapter isn't that long it's just I've had trouble setting up the beginning of their relationship, in noting that I'm not good at starting things.
