Cortana and John's thoughts part 2
A/N: okay, John's thoughts when he's leading the marines out of the base on level 3
When I found out she was captured, I was numb, she was my stable support, and she always was there. She was the one in this world that I cared about the most, the one that manage to capture my long thought no existent heart.
She was just AI, but yet she was beautiful anyway, when the war ends maybe we'll find a way for her to have her own body, but that doesn't matter, we don't talk about it, because it's not important, because just like I've told her a million times, I love her just like she is, a AI in my head.
As I swerve quickly to avoid an incoming wrath I think of the time we thought about the future, when I asked her if she'd stay with me. I knew she was scared of having to stay with military but I still asked. When I did she just laughed and said smiling,
"Don't you already know the answer to that?"
I grinned at the fond memory, reveling in the fact that plenty of times when we had a conversation I had been doing just this, driving or shooting from a warthog.
When we manage to get away from all that I hear the marines talking among themselves.
"It doesn't look like he even cares." One whispered
"Someone once told me that they only work together because the commander tells them too." Another whispered
"I bet he wouldn't care if she dies." Another whispered.
Finally I couldn't take it any longer, I stormed out of the base, past Johnson and Miranda as well as all the other marines shocked stares. They should be grateful, I just saved their lives! I was shocked to realize I was shaking, not just out of anger but out of fear, fear that Cortana would die and just leave me here.
I'm so wrapped up in my own thoughts that I don't hear it when Johnson shows up.
"Come on Chief, let's go inside, we all miss her, we understand." He said, apparently thinking I would feel better.
"No" I said roughly
"No what chief, I don't have time for this!" He said, annoyed
"No, you'll never understand, any of you, because you don't know." I said as I walked by Johnson inside, ignoring the shock on his face.
Cortana, I swear I'll save you, not only because of that promise I made you, but also I because I love you, this I swear.
A/N: I know this sounds mushy but Chief needed a soft side, a mean come on he must of confided in her at some time and to have her captured must've killed him on the inside.
