XP And is it that obvious about Baird, nevermind, don't answer that, in fact i'm gonna delete that, arrggh, to. lazy. to. push. delete. button!!!! Curse you lazyiness!!!

On With teh story!

Delta Squad walked up on a compound with a metal wall in-closing it, Stevie was walking behind Baird and Cole, with Marcus and Dom walking in front of them.

'Wait a minute,' she thought looking at the compound, 'This looks like a Stranded base!'

She glared at it and then stopped and watched the rest walk up to it, she could still her them talking as Dom said, "Hey, man Franklin here," to the Stranded who apparently was watching the gate.

Marcus looked around and then at her, he moved his head a little to indicate her wanted her over there, reluctantly, she walked over and stood by Cole and Baird.

The Stranded noticed her and she looked away, although she could still feel his eyes on her, "Yep, usual spot," he said answering Dom's question, the gate opened and they walked in but before it close she heard, and probably all of delta heard him say, "Don't get to cold in there chicky."

She growled and rolled her eyes, "Pig." She got more nervous as they continued threw the compound, she knew every Stranded in that compound was looking at her.

The rest of delta most of known it two as they made a square around her, so she was in the middle, "Hey chicketta," a Stranded by a fire said out loud, "Wanna come warm yourself by the fire, plenty of room."

She looked the other way, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her nerves. Delta squad walked up to three men, one was slightly dark with it looked like night-vision goggles on, and to others which she guessed to be his body guards.

She looked away again as she felt both the body guards eyes on her and she discreetly hide behind Baird.

"Hey, Santiago!" the man said to Dom, "Sorry man, no news on the lady, you know I would tell." The man then leaned in and said to Dom quietly, "Hey man, I don't want people seeing us together, its not good for business."

Dom looked back at the rest of delta squad and began to talk, "I need the junker man." The man looked surprised for a moment and then shook his head vigorously, "No way man, your crazy if you think I'm gonna give you my ride."

Dom glared at the man and shook his own head he then lifted his arm and started to poke the man vigorously, "You owe me! I'm calling in the favor, right here, right now."

The two body guard started to advance when Franklin lifted his arm slightly and they stopped.

"Okay, man, okay, on one condition," he pointed to Baird and Cole, "They stay here, we could use the extra guns, man, its collateral." She could she Dom smirk and nod some, "Done."

The man smirked back and gave him the keys. Marcus and Dom started walking and Stevie followed slowly when the man said, "Hey! No more favors asshole!" She heard Dom grunt and sighed with relief as they were almost out of the compound.

"Hey, Hey! Hold on Santiago!" Dom, Marcus, and Stevie all turned and faced him, "What about are condition?!" Dom raised an eyebrow and looked at Cole and Baird, "They're staying here, that was the condition."

The man shook his head, "Yeah they're here, but what about the babe behind you, man." Stevie immediately froze, she did not want to stay here, not with these Stranded.

The man then smirked, "You see, we don't have any women at this compound, and we, as men, can get a bit lonely, if ya know what I mean."

"You said you wanted them, not her." The man laughed a little, "I said 'they' and I know that doll was standing behind the blond guy, so, she stays to, or, no junker."

Stevie growled a bit, 'Karma! Karma! Karma!' She then sighed again and looked down, guess she had to, "Now wait a minute," Marcus begun and Stevie quickly cut him off, "Its okay, Marcus, I'll stay," she then walked up in front of both and them, "But if any of you assholes touch me, I will shotgun your fucking head off, and I mean it."

This made the man laugh all the more and a wide smirk spread across his face, "You should know where your place is, bitch." Stevie immediately froze as she thought of her past, when the Stranded out-casted her, when she was treated like dirt.

"Watch it." Baird 's voice shook her out of it and she looked up to see him glaring fiercely at the guy, which, he just laughed even more, Stevie found her courage and commented, "Love to laugh, don't you bastard."

The man stopped laughing, but still had a sick smirk on his face, he motioned with his head for her to come here, Stevie let out a small raspy breath and, glaring at the man the whole way, walked over.

"Good, girl," his smirk grew all the more bigger as he turned to Dom, "Okay, Santiago, I got the chick, you can go." "I am not an object." Stevie retorted still glaring, "Well in here you are."

Dom and Marcus looked at each other, and back at Stevie, she could tell they were uncertain if they should go, so, she put on a smile and said, "Don't worry guys, I'll be fine, plus I have the Smartass and Cole here, so, it'll be okay." She heard Baird grunt from behind her.

They still seemed a bit uncertain but Marcus nodded and they left to go get the junker.

Stevie held back a sigh and turned to see all the men, once again, staring at her. She started to feel a little nervous about it and rubbed the back of her neck, but then Baird commented, "You know you guys should learn its not polite to stare," he put his hands on his hips, "I know, I know, I'm gorgeous." he smirked.

Stevie, since the first time they arrived, giggled a little, only a little, but Baird was satisfied with it and his smirk grew. "Looks like we have a smartass in the facility", Stevie turned and looked at him, she had momentarily forgotten about Franklin, and crept closer to Baird.

"You know I wouldn't classify you as a smartass," Baird said with his hands still on his hips, "I would classify you as a Jackass, or even an Asshole." he smiled at the man.

Stevie couldn't help but smirk, Baird was a smartass at sometimes, and he was called it a lot of times, but he seemed to know about turning it on the person, rather than himself.

The man sighed and shook his head, "You should watch it." he took a step forward along with his bodyguards, "Around here you could get your head blown off for saying that kind of shit."

Baird just shrugged, "You seemed to do it a lot, although I bet Stevie would have blown your head off if you would have kept it up." She could resist but to laugh a bit more and this time even Cole chuckled.

The man just smiled and then looked at the girl beside him, "Stevie?" he chuckled a bit, she narrowed her eyes at him, she hated it when people made fun of her name, "Shut up!" she stepped in front of Baird, "I'm proud of my Name, so what if its a bit boyish, my mother loved it and so do I!"

"Awwww," he chuckled a bit more and crossed his arms, "I think I hit a wittle nerve." the men around him also chuckled a bit and Stevie could feel her face going red, "Did you wittle mommy also give you those goggles, or what about that attitude? ha, ha," he once again chuckled.

"I bet your mom was a bitch." Stevie had him on the ground in a second with herself on top of him and one of her hands smushing his face in the dirt, she cocked her shotgun with one arm and held it to his head, "Say one more fucking word about my mother, and I will blow off all of your limbs one at a time, let you almost die by bleeding, and then, when your almost dead I'll blow your fucking head off."

All the men were taken back for a few moments, even Baird and Cole were shocked, yes Baird had been threaten with her shotgun before, but not as violent as this.

Franklin had one eye shut to keep dirt from getting in it, he mumbled something but then he smirked, "What?!" Stevie pushed the shotgun into his hard harder, "Do you think I'm kidding?"

"No, I don't actually," he chuckled a little, "The why the hell are you laughing?!" "Because, you shoot me once, and you'll all be dead in five seconds" she looked up to find about every stranded out, looking at them, and they all had guns, "So go for it." his smirk grew.

She scowled and let up a little, "Besides," he started again, "I believe I'm suppose to be on top." She stopped and looked at there position, she could feel a light blush coming on and quickly got off the man, who started to laugh, and all the other Stranded joined in.

She turned and faced Baird and Cole but instead of looking at them she looked at the ground and she could feel her face getting redder and redder as the men continued to laugh.

She closed her eyes tightly and wished it would all go away, that her family were still alive, that she stilled lived in her home, and that she never had to fight in this stupid, stupid war.

A young girl at the age of about six skipped happily down a dirt road leading to a big white house. Her brown, slightly curly, hair was down to her shoulders and it bounced with every step she took.

Her eyes were big and hazel and looked like they were full of life. She hummed a nice little tune as she neared the house and saw a women wearing a straw hat picking flowers in the front yard.

She stopped when she got to her and smiled, "Hi momma!" The women looked up and smiled back, she also had brown hair, but she had blue eyes, instead of Hazel.

"Hi, sweetheart." her voice sounded kind and gentle, and it went along perfectly with her smile, "Watcha-doing?" the girl put her hands behind her back and started to sway slightly, "I'm just picking flowers for the vase on the dinner table, the other ones are almost dead."

The girl nodded and looked around, "Where's Ricky?" The women looked back down and continued to pick the flowers, "Your brother is over at Jason's." "Oh," she stated plainly and sighed obviously bored, "Is papa still at work?" She saw the women nod and she sighed again, "I guess I'll just go inside then."

She started toward the house again but stopped when she heard her name, "Stevie, darling, since your brother isn't here to help, you wouldn't mind helping me, would you?"

The girl whirled around showing the women a huge smile and said, "Would I ever!" This made the women laugh a bit and look back up at the girl.

In which the girl smiled back, happy as ever, she sat down next to the women and started to pick some of the flowers, humming the same little tune in which the mother started to hum it as well.

And they sat there picking flowers, without a care in the world.

Stevie shook her head trying to escape the memories and still had her eyes tight shut but she could still hear the men laughing, "Shut up." she about whispered but the men paid no mind.

She gritted her teeth and shut her eyes tighter, "I said shut up!" she whirled and and fired her shotgun, of course she wasn't aiming to kill, just to scare, all the men at once stopped laughing and she opened her eyes to find she missed Franklin by an inch, she could hear him gulp.

She cocked her shotgun, pointed it at him, and glared, "Come on, keep laughing, I dare you." she was a bit surprised on how much hatred was in her voice.

Franklin gulped again and finally stood up, got his composure and he held out his hand, "Give me that shotgun," he took a step forward with every other Stranded in the compound, "Now."

Stevie scowled, she knew they couldn't fight all these people, she sighed and glared at him some more, but, recluntently, gave him her shotgun, which when she did he smirked.

Franklin then turned to the men and lifted his head slightly, apparently dismissing them, and then he turned back to the Gears, "You have got to be the roughest chick I've ever meet."

Stevie, still glaring replied, "You would be after what I've been through." the man was about to reply back when the Gears radio crackled, "Baird, Baird are you there?"

Baird reached up to his ear and, along with Stevie and Cole, walked out of hearing distance of the Stranded, "How are you guys doing? More importantly how's Stevie doing?" Stevie sighed at his comment.

"I'm fine Marcus, although most of them here are assholes, especially that Franklin guy, but if he ever makes fun of my mother again I'm apologizing in advance for what ever I do to him."

The radio crackled again, "That good, huh?" Stevie allowed a small smile to grace her lips. "Well, we're almost at the station, hang tight guys." she then clicked her radio off and put her hands on her hips, "Man, I really wanna leave." She sighed once more and kicked a rock.

Crack! She looked up, and then looked at Baird and Cole and asked, "Did you guys hear that?" Baird looked around, "Hear what?" She just rolled her eyes at him and turned to walk back to Franklin.

she held out her hand, "Give me my gun back," she smiled, "Now." Franklin looked at her with a stern glare, "Excuse me?" Stevie cleared her throat, "Give me my fucking shotgun, now."

He crossed his arms, "Why the fu-" "Boom!" his voice was cut off by a loud explosion as they at the gate to find two boomers and a whole lot of Locust standing behind them.

She narrowed her eyes and pushed Franklin to cover, she was still beside them, "Boom!" another shot was fired and it almost hit Baird and Cole, which they quickly took cover, along with the rest of the stranded.

She started firing her lancer and the two Boomers along with Cole and Baird, and she could feel bullets fly past her, she took cover behind the rock again and was she was reloaded finally responded,

"Thats Why!"
