Me and my sister just spent the last 117 minutes watching G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. I know, I am officially obsessed. (I also bought three G.I. Joe Snake Eyes comics {Heart} today lol) Oh and happy new year. Oh and the thing with the bed is because it is 1:52 am where I am.
Avery was following Snake Eyes the rec. room. She had nothing better to do and she would also bet that Duke and Ripcord would be there. Sure she was wounded, but she wasn't disabled. That is except her right arm which Snake Eyes had made her put a sling on. It may have only been that she had known the man for a little more than a day but she was sure that she had feelings forming for her. And no matter how much she told herself that it was only a crush, the feelings kept growing. Avery figured that it was because of his kindness and not being judgmental of her. He hadn't even known her, he'll he had thought her a guy up until a little while ago, and he had sat and conversed with her for half of the night. Then when she had torn her wounds open he gently stitched her back up, as gently as getting stitched up could be, and when that man had shot her he had fixed her up again. And he had let her have the bed, oh how she loved his bed.
His bed was soft and seemed to be made with no springs or feathers. Avery hated feathered stuff it always poked and hurt. But his bed seemed to be fit for a god. And a god he was, subconsciously Avery licked her lips remembering his shower earlier. She had truly fallen in love with his bed. And she hoped that was all she would fall in love with. Still thinking about the wonders of his bed she followed be hind until Breaker called to her. "You know chess?" Avery waled over and sat by the technition.
"Hell no. But I'm a good learner." She grinned and listened to what he had to say. By the time he had finished explaining a few things had changed. Scarlet had entered and was sitting silently besides the ninja man, Snake Eyes. Duke was pushing Ripcord and Heavy-Duty was sitting across from Breaker laughing as Avery muttered about chess being harder than she thought. Then things changed as Avery suggested seeing a game in progress. Breaker and Heavy-Duty played against each other answering Avery questions about why something had happened, Scarlet challenged Ripcord to an arm wrestling match that turned into many, and Snake Eyes was teaching Duke how to hold a sword. Or at least he was trying to teach Duke how to. Then the alarm went off.
"Warheads, Rip. Come on!" Duke yelled and raced from the room. Snake Eyes had already left before the words had left Duke's lips. Everyone followed right after and Scarlet grabbed a camouflage shirt. Avery had no idea why she needed the shit but didn't care as she dragged her feet along the floor. When she reached where the weapons were she grabbed several. She put a small hand gun in her sling, a bigger two handed shotgun with a strap went over her neck and shoulder then she grabbed, another pistol and carrying the last gun and headed to the open area. Just as she was about to enter something caught her eye and a slight smile came to her lips. Slinging the grenade belt over her bad shoulder she winced.
As soon as she entered the place where all the chaos was a man wearing the enemies uniform stood in front of her. Quickly she shoved the pistol in her sling and grabbed a grenade from the belt then rolled away as the man shot. Dashing forward she bit off the pin on the grenade and shoved it in the neck hole of the man. He stumbled back and gripped at his neck. She only had enough time to jump back as his head exploded. Grabbing her pistol she shot at another enemy that had turned to look at her. It took four shots but she managed to get him through the eye. She continued to do this until she ran out of bullets and grenades. Suddenly there was another guy in front of her. Lifting the two handed gun shakily she pulled the trigger. The force of being so close blew the mans head into tiny pieces and the back fire threw Avery back and she was sure that there would be yet another place bruising on her.
"Why can't things be easy for once?" She groaned and stood up. There on the floor ten feet from her was a pistol, and another five feet and enemy. Racing for the gun she just missed it as a ninja in white kicked it away. His eyes told her to stay down on the ground where she belonged. A sigh left Avery and she sat cross legged. He took a step back and she lifted the shot gun and shot at him. The ninja man dodged and she was thrown back by the back fire. The floor had to have been waxed because she had slid at least ten feet away if not more. When he looked at her she cocked the gun then shot again, she also slid back more.
Snake Eyes was all of a sudden there. He stood in front of her and then, with only a quick glance at her, he was racing towards the white ninja. Avery's shoulder ached and she felt like crying from the pain but she cocked the gun and shot again as another enemy neared. She was up pushed harshly up against the wall and unable to help it she cried out. Cocking the gun she waited for someone else to show up and when the guy was in range she shot. Unable to go back her good shoulder took the full force and she got the feeling that her 'good shoulder' was no longer good. It hurt to even lift her arm now but she cocked the gun and waited.
Her vision was going blurry and when someone approached she yelled at them. "Name yourself! Friend of foe." Through her blurred vision she saw the man raise something at her and she lifted her gun. "Five seconds till I shoot." When she still got no reply she counted. "Five...Four.. One!" She had seen the blue charge of her enemies gun. Then immediately someone cam up the fallen guy. They had poited something at him. "Friend or foe? I will shoot if you don't answer."
"Chill V, It's just me." Ripcord said and he approached her. "You don't look good."
"Gee, thanks." There was sarcasm on her words and he gave a short laugh. It was cut short as she once again raised the gun. "Friend or foe?" Rip was about to ask what she meant when she shot. It barely missed him but hit the guy right behind him. "He had a blue gun, please tell me he was a foe." Avery said with fear that she had hit a friend.
"Foe. Definitely a foe." Rip said as he looked at the third body she had killed from against the wall. He realized something. "You said he was a foe because of the blue of his gun, is something wrong?" Avery tried to glare at Ripcord but had trouble finding him because he was now blurrier than before.
"No, I'm just dandy. I mean I only have two bullet holes in one arm, a torn open stomach, and a shot gun with way too much back force for one single arm. So yeah, I'm real good Rip. Real fucking good." Each and every word of hers dripped with venom and sarcasm. "Friend or foe?" Rip turned with his gun held up.
"Duke, I really don't think she should be here." The new blob in Avery's eyes was identified as her partial brother. Raising her hand Avery had two cents to put out there. She waited several moments. Ripcord remembered that she was having trouble seeing and asked. "What is it V?"
"Hmm? Oh nothing. I'm just agreeing that I don't belong here." She let the gun go down because it felt too heavy all of a sudden. "And I want to go to bed. I have a fucking headache again. Can someone get me back to Snake Eyes' room so I steal his bed? I mean like that thing is fucking soft. I think I love it. It feels like sleeping on a cloud. Although in truth clouds are evaporated water meaning it is wet and couldn't hold me worth shit but you get my point. I want the bed." Avery had a little tendency to start to ramble when her mind was letting go. The boys both knew this and raced to her side. They got to her just as she passed out. Within moments she woke back up with a groan. Duke lifted her up.
"I'll pass her along to Snake Eyes once I get her checked out." He told Rip and went towards where she assumed the black ninja man was. She started to struggle, trying to get down and Duke set her on her feet. "You Ok to walk?" Avery pushed away from him and went forward a few steps then stopped and looked at him. "Got it, come on."
