Corrie lay against the comms, sleeping off thoughts. People she once knew always called her Six, others called her Corrie or Corriana on special occasions only unless she trusted them above anything. That was before Reach had fallen to the Covenant. She told no one her name or anything about her and that was the way she planned to keep it.

She had just come back from a drop in New Mombasa, her trip had almost been as crazy as her first day on Reach, as a part of Noble team, of course she had more time to herself here, than she did on the glassed planet but she still missed all of her teams natural talented gifts even the ones that made her completely nuts! Like Emile with his ability to be annoying

Her ODST captain had been changed from Gunny sergeant Eddie Buck to Commandeer Veronica Dare. Then they were supposed to take out a heli-carrier that posed a major threat but instead the course had been changed by the new captain, landing her twenty feet off the ground tangled in power lines all for an AI.

And on top of that instead of the AI they had found an alien which had all the information inside its head. Then she had to bring it back to the drop-station and now it was hanging around her like it was her new best friend and was the only one to realise she wasn't a man, because he had seen her face by mistake.

"Rookie, hey wake up!" that would be Romeo tapping on her helmet.

As if she didn't have enough to worry about with this being her cover, Romeo had snuck up on her when Corrie was looking at a holographic picture of Carter hugging her.

Romeo wolf-whistled at the photo "who is the pretty woman?" Romeo asked. She just shook her head as if to say shut up before I make you.

"Oh, sorry, did she die?" Corrie shook her head again; she was getting madder he had called her pretty. "Well then, if you introduce me to her I guarantee she won't be yours anymore" Romeo laughed.

"Oh yeah we also have an incoming pelican apparently they want you down in the hangar" and took off before she could slap him. Corrie felt her blood begin to boil.

"So who are our guests?" Buck asked Veronica over by the com controls.

"Two Spartans, coming to make a general inspection and then they get to tag along on a drop" She said. Corrie focused on what they were saying "and they were kind enough to send a message" Dare said leaning over the screen.

"What's it say?" Dutch asked from down near the ammo station.

"It is from an AI called Auntie Dot it says. 'All pretty girls who happen go by the name of Noble Six and can sing, get your ass to the hangar bay signed no. Four and Three' they do sound nice" Veronica said sarcastically.

Corrie jumped up and bolted straight to the hanger bay.

"What is with him?" Veronica asked

"Don't know. Don't care. Let's find out" Mickey responded running after the rookie.

Corrie ran straight to the hanger dropping her helmet on the ground along the way and her long brown hair flew along behind her. The pelican had already landed by the time she got there, she saw two familiar people outside one with a skull helmet on his head and the other had a sniper rifle attached to his back they were talking and hadn't seen her come bursting in.

She snuck up quietly behind Emile. Jun saw her and smiled.

"Hey? Emile, man"

"Yeah what!?" He responded.

"Officer on deck" he screamed Emile saluted turning to face Corrie.

"Sir!" he saw her and if she could see his face, she knew he was smiling, "holy crap! Please never do that again! Don't do that ever! Hello Six" he said lifting her two feet off the ground, hugging her and nearly crushing her.

"Emile I can't… I can't breathe... Emile put me down!" she screamed he did and then Jun did the same thing.

Veronica and Buck as well as Mickey entered the hanger. Dutch and Romeo stopped them, before they could be seen by the two Spartans and the Rookie. Only the Rookie wasn't who they were expected to see with the Spartans being hugged, laughed and talked at.

"Is that the rookie? Hey rookie over here? What are you doing hugging a Spartan?" The group stopped and looked over to where the call came from.

All their mouth dropped the Rookie was a girl! A girl that happened to be the Rookie all the time!

"Who the hell is that?" they heard Veronica say. Buck turned and saw her mouth dropped, the Rookie heard them turned and approached them.

"Hi guys umm…. Here is where things stop making sense" she said awkwardly.

"Six who the hell are they?" Jun asked.

"Who the hell are you? And Six? What kind of name is that? Wait how do you know these guys? And why are you a girl? We all thought you were a guy? Hello? Rookie, are you in there?" They all kept asking questions

"Shut up everyone! Ok long story short, my name Noble Six. I served on planet Reach with a team called Noble henceforth the name, which is how I know these two idiots they were on my team as well. When Reach fell and we left, I ditched Spartan services and became a ODST soldier, that is how I survived in New Mombasa alone, which is why Dare said I knew my stuff in fighting covenant and what is even worse from everyone no one knew I was a freaking girl! So I am really not in the mood for this. Okay everyone got that?" She said impatiently.

Staring at the two Spartans, she kept her fierce glare pinned on them.

"Why are you mad at us? What did we do?" Emile said innocently.

"I was waiting for one of you to say something that would make me have to kill you both for being complete idiots" she looked even smaller now because she wasn't wearing her MJOLINER armour on but just as intimidating.

"Ok, ok if you are going to kill us I am going to ask, first, you're being called rookie? Come on Six I know this is a joke right? We both saw what you did in Reach when in lone wolf mode. And I kept thinking I was a badass until I meet you. I think I will like calling you Rookie though" Emile said laughing. Corrie lost it. She tackled him faster to the floor than he could talk.

"Don't ever call me rookie if you want to live!" she snarled at him her leg was on his stomach and her hands were around his shoulders she had he pinned to the ground.

The others stared at the standing Spartan "You get used to it after a while. Trust me, she can do worse to him than that and don't ever tick her off it is scary as hell" He said.

"Okay you two need to stop now! Six! Emile! Off the ground" He pleaded.

Corrie looked up and arched an eyebrow "What?" He asked

"You called me Six" She said bluntly

"Sorry I-"

"No it's just no one has since Reach" She answered.

"Come on Six, there is something I think you need to see" Jun said leaving the ODST team very confused..

She raised an eyebrow then followed him into the pelican. "She won't be happy when she sees this. Not by a long shot"

"Why?" Mickey asked

"Wait for it" he held up three fingers. "Three… two …one!" Nothing happened "maybe I was wrong she didn-" a yell came from the pelican

"What the hell! I though you knew I was never ever going back! What is that doing on board!" Jun came out running from the ship.

"Run Emile she is ticked! Really ticked" he yelled out came the Rookie running after him.
