Chapter 6: I KNOW WHOOP YO' ASS!
We were all in the tank and I laughed as every one of us was thrown to the floor of it by the explosion. While all the rest of them were exclaiming in terror I just laughed my ass off. If I'm dying at least it's in style! I did stop laughing when we were jerked by the parachutes. I didn't realize tell that moment that my feet were on Face's back and my face was in Murdock's crotch. I jerked away from both of them blushing like crazy.
"Everybody okay?" Hannibal asked. I grimaced and muttered violently.
"What are the chances they think we're dead?" Face asked as everyone tried to get up. I glanced at Murdock to see him looking me up and down to see if I was okay. I grinned at him. Suddenly I heard bullets hitting us. I cursed out loud.
"Not great." Hannibal replied.
"Tell me we ain't still on that plane." B.A. said waking up. I giggled before going to him and making sure he was all right. Murdock had put on the Captain helmet and was preparing the controls.
"We ain't on that plane." He said to B.A.
"Outlaw?" Face called.
"Yea?" I answered trying to pull myself up only to find no seat.
"If we're under twenty thousand feet, we can still breathe, right?" He asked.
"Yes." I told him. He laughed and I understood what he was about to do and laughed with him.
"What are you talking about, twenty thousand feet?" The previously oblivious Bosco screamed.
"Let's fire up the old weapons system." Hannibal said in response.
"What the hell, man?" Bosco said trying to get out of the straps we put him in to keep him upright.
"Hey, Bosco, a little stuffy. Let's pop a window!" Face said as I opened the top of the tank. I grabbed on to the large gun and started shooting at the jets trying to kill us.
"I know whop yo' ass!" I screamed quoting Madea. I think they were talking in the tank but I was still trying to hit the reapers. I managed to shoot one down and I whooped with joy.
I vaguely heard everything they were saying through an ear piece and I laughed when B.A. said, "I blame you, Hannibal!" That was I laughed until the plane that I just shot down made the parachutes collapse all but one making me get slung out of the plane.
"Outlaw!" I heard Murdock scream.
"Shit!" I said climbing back into the tank. I groaned as my back cracked on the way back in.
"Brace yourselves!" Hannibal said. I did as told on Murdock's seat, while he was out of it trying to brace himself.
"Awesome!" Murdock yelled.
We all exclaimed in adrenaline. I was cursing trying to sit down, and I did so on the weapons chair. "Outlaw get on to the main guns! There's a lake a half-mile away from this position." He told me. I put my eye and hand up ready to do as ordered.
"What the hell is she trying to hit?" Face yelled.
"Trust me!" Hannibal said. "Rotate the turret 82 degrees." I did as ordered. "Fire in the hole!" Murdock shouted.
"Fire!" Hannibal called and I did as told. I fired again leaving smoke to come in. "Whoa!" Murdock shouted as they were all sent flying. "Ha-ha! We're flying the tank!" Murdock said to B.A.
"You can't fly a tank, fool!" He said back. "Rotate 16 degrees!"
"Got it, Hannibal!" I called understanding what he was doing. I kept firing as ordered. Eventual I hit the other drone as Hannibal wanted.
"Bring turret full front and wait!"
"Aye Aye boss!" I said doing as told.
"Murdock! Close the hatch!" Hannibal yelled out.
"Hatch, okay!" Murdock yelled and started pushing buttons. "Did that work? Did that work?" He asked which in turn freaked B.A. out even more.
"Boss!" I called realizing we were getting really close to the ground. "Hatch control?" Murdock asked himself finding the button.
"I'm too young to die!" B.A. shouted.
"Suck it up and deal with it like a real man!" I yelled at B.A. laughing. "Boss she's aiming at nothing!" Face said still not understanding. Murdock and I were laughing our asses off.
"It's been an honor, gentlemen, Outlaw!" Murdock called.
"We're not going to die!" I yelled to them. I briefly closed my eyes and felt my power rain in however much it could in this human form just to make sure. I grinned before reopening my eyes and letting my power flow back out.
"Fire everything!" Hannibal ordered. I pushed the button and held it down so it would keep firing. Murdock was laughing hysterically and B.A. was shouting something about getting right with God and just for good measure I crossed my chest, still shooting.
Finally I saw the lake coming up and I grinned before bracing myself. The tank fired one more time before we were slammed in to the lake. I laughed breathlessly as we all took a deep breath. We all looked at each other and I felt my face just to be sure my hair was still in place, Thank God it was right?
"I say that one was a little close boys." I said to them. All at once they started preparing the tank for movement and soon we were driving out of the lake. Murdock was hanging out of the tank while I tried to fix the latch for the gun.
"Excuse me? Which way to Berlin?" He said in a weird accent. I laughed and waved at the dumbfounded old woman. "Cheers, sorry we hit your husband, I'm sure he's alright." I said to her.
I climbed up and sat beside Murdock. "Well, I think we have successfully broken you out of the ward, again." I said looking over to him. He was staring at me intensely. "What" But I didn't finish my sentence. Murdock lent forward and captured my lips in one of the most romantic kisses I had ever received. It was soft and sweet and it made my toes curl just like in the movies. I couldn't help but raise my hand to caress his cheek. I felt his arms around me and I had to wonder briefly if the rest of the team knew we were kissing up here. I felt him pull away slowly and I followed him leaving a few pecks behind. I opened my closed eyes slowly to see him staring at me or more importantly my right cheek.
I twitched and tried to distract him from asking questions about what I'm guessing felt like bumps to him. (no she doesn't have herpys! XD)
"What was that for?" I asked him with my hand resting at the nape of his neck while the other held the arm around me.
"I couldn't help myself; it's been six months after all." I smiled and buried my face in his sweet smelling hair.
"I've only kissed you once!" I said feeling him start playing with my hair.
"Not true there was that one time we were both drunk off our rockers and Face dared you to kiss him. Remember? You wanted to irritate him so you kissed me?" he said bringing up an almost lost memory. Before I could answer though I heard Face 'whisper' to Hannibal and B.A. "Are they making out again? That's just gross." I snickered and looked down at him glancing at Murdock's ass.
"Yes Face, yes we are. Don't be jealous I'm not the only one who said no to you." I told him vaguely hinting to Sosa though I knew it was below the belt. He stuck his tongue out like a child and I did the same.
Oh it's good to be back with the guys!
Face had done a wonderful job of getting us an abandoned warehouse and I was happy to just be alive but I was ecstatic to be sitting on Murdock's lap and I couldn't help but laugh even if Face was staring at us like we were some new disease. I ignored him though when Hannibal started explaining to us the plan. I stood up from my blissful place when I heard boss say, "If I had a way to get us information it would be better." He said leaning on the table by his hands, frustrated.
"I can get us information." I said blankly. Okay I can do this I can tell them straight out. "How in the world can you get us information that even Hannibal can't get? This information is probably in the white house!" Face said staring at me, well they all were….oh God I can't do it. "I have my ways." I said mysteriously.
"How the hell would you find us information, you've been in an asylum for the last six months!" Face persisted.
"Face-" Hannibal said trying to get him to back off.
"No we need to know, this is important life or death here." He said not even looking at Hannibal. I frowned at Face. "I want to know what your rank is, now. We deserve to know." He said finally. I sucked in a breath and stared at him in the eyes. I could feel my eyes sharpen and I decided I'd have to live with myself because there was no way in hell I was letting him talk to me like that.
"All right you want to fucking know so bad Face you can know, my title? I am an ANBU" I said throwing down my bandanna that I had been playing with. Every one of them drew in a shocked breath. I walked backwards closer to the door and not a one of them noticed.
"What?" Face breathed out.
"That's right. ANBU but no not just any ANBU either, I'm ANBU Black Freedom Operation Rangers and let me tell you something it's fucking bullshit." I said turning my head away so I didn't see their shocked faces anymore. I ripped off my lab coat and showed them my arm which held my ANBU tattoo. They seemed to stare at it but I grimaced and kept talking looking Face directly in the eyes.
"Do you know where the legend came from, the whole 'She killed 100 terrorists without one scratch?'?" I said taking another step back. "I announced what my rank was at the time, like a fucking newbie, and they took my ranger team and tortured and killed them in front of me. There wasn't a fucking thing I could do. Then they made the mistake of getting cocky. Those assholes took my chains off and I killed every one of them." I said feeling a prickly sensation behind my eyes; just the memory of that time killed me.
"Then my General sent me to a place where they ran tests and did experiments on me everyday. So from that day on I trusted no one….tell I met you guys." I said coming out of my memories to see there horrified faces. Then Face seemed to realize something.
"Wait can't you pronounce us free. If you just pulled a few strings." I laughed without any humor cutting him off.
"I tried, I have the president working on it, but he said I am not to give away my rank until I get a call from him." I said rubbing the back of my head.
"Why didn't you tell me- us?" Murdock's hurt voice cut in on Face and I's argument. I grimaced and stepped back again and they seemed to finally grasp that I was heading away from here.
"Where are you going?" Hannibal asked as they all stepped forward to do what I don't know but I was suddenly glad to have told them. I twitched and it was like a switch was flipped I could feel all my experience flowing back and I could do anything they wanted me to. I pulled out my iPhone and grinned insanely.
"I'm going to get us some information." I said swaggering out the door and started the process of calling the ANBU hotline again while walking to the back of the warehouse. After the third call and all they picked up. "ANBU lines state your name and who you wish to call." I grimaced as I heard the nervous teenager again.
"ANBU Black Freedom Operation Rangers" I said. I heard the male squeak again and someone launching themselves at the phone. "I want to talk to the pentagon." I stated. "Yes ma'am." The teenager said. I was put on hold for a good 20 seconds again and then they connected.
"Yes ANBU Freedom?" Ah it's good to be alive.
After a while a truck pulled up leaving me with bags of stuff that I asked for. "Thanks Liana." I yelled as she rode off. I hummed happily forgetting that my team was inside until I got to the door where I stopped for a second. I was suddenly glad I did.
"She was ANBU for who knows how long and didn't tell us!" B.A.'s voice rang out. I grimaced and sat the bags down so I could hear them better. "She was under orders!" Murdock said furiously. I smiled sadly wondering which one of them would turn on me first.
"I know it's just irritating that she couldn't do anything. After what she went through I'm not surprised she didn't tell us." Hannibal's voice said.
"Hey she said she had the president working on it right? So all we need to do is work at it until Outlaw gets the call." Face said.
"No matter what I refuse to turn on any of you guys, and there is no way I will turn on her." Murdock said.
"Agreed." Hannibal said.
"Your right." Face said.
"Never shall I turn against those who mean the most." B.A. joined in.
I couldn't stop the tears as they leaked out. I stood there crying thinking of how much I loved this team and how proud I was to serve with them. I wiped away my tears and then took a deep breathe and walked in with my bags continuing to hum. I walked right up to the table that they were at and pulled out a package and slapped it down on the table.
"I come bringing presents." I sang. "Here we go straight from the Pentagon." I said smirking as they opened the package. They were looking at me with extreme intensity like they would jump off a bridge for me and I thought I was going to burst in to tears again. "I also got you guys some clothes, guns, and other necessities for those who are fugitives." I smiled at them happily.
"I'm sorry," Face said, "I'm sorry I blew up on you. I'll stick by you no matter what." He took my hand and I smiled at him patting his hand as well. Then the others started agreeing.
"I'm glad you are all still my friends." I said just happy that they were here. I flopped the bags onto a bench by the table opening the package and spreading out the picture and giving Hannibal an information sheet that came with it.
As Hannibal took his time reading it I was pulled by Murdock so that my back was against his chest. I felt him kiss my neck and smiled. I'm so happy they took it well. I turned my head and kissed him on the lips once. I heard Face cough but didn't care. I turned back around and waited for Hannibal to finish reading it.
"Pike has been moving the stolen engraving plates to the Konigsbank Tower in Frankfurt over the past month. Tomorrow the last of the cases containing these plates will be transferred to the Arab. This will mark the only time in the last six months that all the plates have been in one location." Hannibal said looking at all of us having thought up a plan. "It's our best and only shot at getting them back. They leave the Konigsbank Tower for the 7:15 train to Zurich. Gentlemen, we're going to make sure they miss that train." He said looking at all of us proudly.
"Face," He said looking at Face. "Yeah?" Face answered. "It's time to bring in your former flame. If she's as good as I think, then she'll be on her way to Frankfurt to intercept those plates."
"Why would you want to tip her off?" Face asked.
"She's a crusader, and we're going to need her teed up at some point. Now the wrinkle, if Sosa's onto us, we can assume that Lynch is onto her. And if he thinks she stands between him and those plates, he won't hesitate to kill her." Hannibal said, before giving out orders.
"Face get to the train station. If there's a threat from Lynch, deal with it. See, don't be seen." He warned Face. I almost laughed out loud at even the idea that Face could hold himself back from warning her. "But do not engage her or anyone else directly." He warned again.
I was mentally thinking of ways that this could go wrong if he got a hold of her. Oh the trouble I go to for these men. Murdock squeezed my waist pulling me tighter against him and placing his capped head on my shoulder. I smiled again and paid more attention.
"For now get some rest and relax. Face I need you to get something's that Outlaw didn't get." I pulled away from Murdock and wondered. "All right who's hungry?" They all turned to me. I pulled out from the bag a few pizza boxes from a bag and placed them on the table. "I hope you guys still like the same kind as last time I knew you because that's what I ordered." I said. They all grabbed at the pizza and I hurriedly pulled away the cheese pizza box and began eating and catching up with the guys.
Sorry for the long wait guys! My wireless was completely shot in a storm the day I was going to upload and then i had to go another day because I forgot about her scar. I thank everyone who reviewed and those who didn't! I just get so excited when I upload a chapter so yay!
