A/N: Wowowow! Thank you so much for the lovely reviews, I was on the verge of rewriting because of the few which said I was copying ect. Anyways, disclaimers, I only own Ava, now enjoy the lovely chapter!
Ava's flashed shut. They stayed shut for a couple of seconds. Ghost stood there arms crossed across his chest. After the few moments she opened her eyes cautiously, believing she was dead. Once she was sure she was alive she glared at Ghost, "I didn't mean the target to be me!"
"I wouldn't miss by accident, I'm way to skilled for that." He smirked.
She shook her head, "Isn't your ego big enough?"
"You'd think so. I should've shot you. " He complaint.
"You'd actually shoot me?" She said, emphasizing me,
"Nah, 'Tavish would kill me."
Ava pumped a fist into the air, "Yes! I won't be shot by Ghost!"
"You're so sarcastic."
"You've only just realised?"
"Nope, just saying the truth." He turned back to the targets, continuing to shoot them down.
"Any idea when Roach and 'Tavish are back?" Ava asked,
Ghost shrugged, "Whenever they complete the mission." Moments passed of no one talking, and just the noise of the gun was heard. Ghost heard a low rumbling, where Ava instantly clutched her stomach, "Ava, have you had anything to eat since you've been here?"
She shook her head, "Not a thing."
"You should've gone to the food hall or something!"
"There was a load of guys I didn't know, it was kind of awkward."
Ghost put down his guns, "Come on then." She slid of the ledge, landing on both feet. They walked the small distance until they reached the food hall, where more men Ava knew were sitting down and eating. Ava and Ghost grabbed a plate full of food each and sat down. Sitting there was Archer, Toad and Meat and there was another man Ava didn't know, "Royce, that's Ava!" Meat said, so Ava gave a small awkward wave towards the man she didn't know.
"Hey, you're new, right?" Royce asked,
She nodded, "That's why you haven't seen me before today." She went back to eating her food, whilst the men around her were discussing recent issues in the world. She wondered when Roach and MacTavish would be back, and when Shepard would be coming to assess her. Despite her many years of training, she was still pretty worried, worried about Makarov finding her. She knew if she didn't make it into the 141, she'd be back in Russia, her personal hell.
A man was running over to Ghost, "Shepard's here to see you, sir."
Ghost nodded, "Thanks, Private." The Private walked away, and Ghost sighed, "Meat, go with Ava to find some form of spare uniform."
Meat nodded, then looked worried, "Shit, I'm not even changed myself!"
"Or me!" Royce said.
"Then go!" Ghost said, walking away.
Meat pointed at Ava, "C'mon then." They walked over to the supply shed, and they yanked it open and Meat walked inside, "Stay there." He told her.
"Alright." She shrugged, leaning against the door casually. After a couple of minutes he walked out, holding nothing.
"Nothing's anywhere near your size, Shepard's going to have to deal with it." Meat said, as they walked back into the main building.
"Fair enough, as long as I don't have to get changed."
"Probably best you go see Ghost and Shepard." Meat said, as he walked away. Ava took a deep breath, and looked around for the two men. Near the heavily guarded gates where two men talking. There was Ghost, and a man who was a bit taller than Ghost. She walked over to them quite quickly, and holding her body up straight, keeping herself from slouching. She stepped next to Ghost, and when Shepard turned to look at her, she pulled her hand up into a salute.
"You're the one I'll be assessing today?" He asked her,
She brought her hand down, "Yes, Sir."
"So, why aren't you in uniform?"
"I uh, all the spares were massive." She replied, trying to keep the Russian out of her English accent.
Shepard nodded, then walked. Ghost started following behind him, and Ava gave a little sprint to catch up with Ghost. "You're a muppet." Ghost hissed into her ear.
"Shut up." She hissed back at him. They walked over to the course in silence, only the sounds of footsteps, and other men to be heard. She stepped down the steps whilst Shepard was observing. The usual Desert Eagle made its way into her belt, and the ACR into her hands.
"Go when you're ready." Shepard yawned, making her dislike him. Her hands gripped in same rope. It swung as her weight fell down before hitting the floor. Her ACR was instantly sending bullets towards the wood which had popped up. She ran through the door, and down a few steps, shooting another bullet to another target. A flashbang was out of her hands and she was ducking away. She ran into the small room, knifing both targets. She ran out and sprinted to the finish, grinning as she done so. She walked over where Shepard and Ghost were discussing.
"Well, how did I do?" Ava asked, innocently.
"That was actually very good." He said, taking Ava by surprise.
"Well…" She replied vainly, flicking her pony tail.
"It would be a shame to let you pass up an offer into the 141."
Her eyes widened, "So… I'm in?"
Shepard nodded, "Don't let me down."
"Thank you, Sir!" She replied, a smile stretching ear to ear. Shepard walked out, continuing talking to Ghost, who looked relieved. Ava on the other hand skipped off into the rec room as happy as she had been in years. There wasn't a ton of people in there, only Meat on the computer and Roach sitting down. Wait, Roach? Ava thought.
"Roach! You're back!" Ava exclaimed, sitting next to him, "How'd it go?"
"Well, objective accomplished, so not a total failure." Roach chuckled, "Heard Shepard was assessing you, how did that go?"
"To put it short, I'm officially in the 141."
"Congrats Ava!" Roach said,
"Yeah, welcome." Meat said from his chair.
Ava nodded, "Thanks."
She got up to go up to her room, to grab her notepad. She was able to make her way around basically now, but still did get lost quite a bit. She walked up the stairs to hear a couple of recognisable voices. A Scottish, and British. She stood by the corner listening in.
"You didn't tell him? She was working for a bloody terrorist!" Ghost said, voice raised.
"Of course I didn't bloody tell him, he'd kill her in seconds." MacTavish retaliated, sounding aggravated.
"Isn't that the point?" Ghost asked.
"There's something going on with her. And we're going to find out." MacTavish replied, calmer.
"What? That she's a spy?" Ghost said bitterly. There was a moment of silence, and Ava didn't even realise she was holding her breath until she breathed out slowly, still avoiding making any noise.
Suddenly one of the two men was in front of her, making her jump and giving away her looking in.
"Oh shit." She said, taking a step back causally.
