We are green and grey

"Hello, Agent Washington."

Wash turned his head towards the voice. "Hey, Delta," he spoke before turning back to study the ground.

"You are troubled. Does it have to do with the setback of your surgery date?" Delta blinked closer to Wash. Wash sighed. Like it or not, Delta always seemed to figure out what no one wanted him to. Wash nodded. "I see." Delta paused. "Agent Carolina has taken your AI, yet you show no signs of animosity towards her. I do not understand."

"If I had been just a little better on missions, this would'nt've happened," Wash stated, running his fingers though his hair. "Carolina is - uh, was the best of us. She deserves those AI more than I do, and more than South does. As much as South hates to admit it, we can really only blame ourselves."

"That is an interesting point of view, Agent Washington," Delta replied.

Wash shrugged. "Maybe." He stood up, slipping his helmet on. "I'm off to train. Tell York I said hi." Delta nodded slightly, acknowledging the request, and disappeared.


"How long has he been out there?" North asked, leaning over the observance platform and frowning at Wash. Poor thing had been slowing down over the past hour, and every Freelancer knew that training sessions over two hours without break weren't recommended.

"According to D, about five hours," York responded.

"And no one's stopped him?"

"Hey, I already tried a few times to calm him down, and so did Wyoming. He's really been taking this AI thing rough." York winced as Wash was shot by a training bullet and fell. Wash lingered on the ground a few seconds, long enough to give the observing pair hope that he would finally rest, before jumping back up and resuming his routine.

Delta's hologram flickered to life. "Agent Washington believes that he is too weak to receive an AI."

"Aw, man, is this about the grappling hook thing?" York asked. North snickered.

"There may be a correlation."

"Whatever caused it, I hope he gets over this soon. Wash is gonna drive himself insane if he keeps training like this," North said.


Hey, Wash. You're really strong, you know that? Like, those biceps, I wouldn't fuck with those. And you actually got Tucker to run and train and shit, which I thought was impossible. Don't ever sell yourself short, buddy.

And that time you tried to hunt us down and kill everyone? I was actually scared. Terrified, to tell the truth. Don't tell anyone I said that, though. I have to keep up my reputation of being a complete badass.

I wanna keep on reliving memories that we've had together, but I'm running out of time. Wash, just know that you are possibly a bigger badass than myself, if being that badass is even possible. Don't tell anyone I said that.

Oh, and uh, sorry I went batshit crazy in your head.

Sexily yours, Epsilon
