Summary: The girls' latest hobby is met with an unforeseen saboteur.


"Cover me! I'm about to fucking die!"

Max's hands were a blur as she played, her avatar rushing towards Chloe's. But before she even got halfway to her, her avatar's head exploded, falling to the ground from a well-aimed sniper shot. "Fuck." Max hissed, tossing her controller into the ground.

Victoria wasn't fairing any better; her limited experience with first-person shooters left her falling behind her teammates, and she had seen the respawn screen more times than either of them combined. Just as she was prepping her rocket launcher, another sniper shot took her out. "Son of a BITCH!" she screamed, hurling her controller at the screen; but Max was already there, and caught it expertly, handing it back to a surprised Victoria.

"Did you rewind?" asked Chloe.

"Nah, just figured that's what she'd do."

The blonde turned to glare at her girlfriend. "Am I so predictable, hipster?"

"Yes."

Victoria hissed and crossed her arms, glaring at the screen.

Max was never really one for videogames, but when Chloe had burst into her room one day with an Xbox and a copy of Black Ops 2, she couldn't resist the puppy-dog look the punk rocker gave her, and decided to humor her.

Chloe didn't count on two things; Max realizing she liked the game, and her having an apparent knack for it. Eventually Victoria got in on the action, but she, in a word, sucked. They never asked Kate, feeling that the game would be too violent for her, and might conflict with her beliefs.

Lately, the trio's gaming sessions had been ruined by an almost unbeatable sniper, one who seemed to have all three girls pegged.

"Who is this fucking asshole?" spat the blonde, pulling up the menu. It was easy to see their username; they had the most kills. "'GodIsGood'? What kind of bullshit username is that?"

Kate set down her controller and smiled as one by one, the usernames belonging to Chloe, Max, and Victoria exited the lobby. Before Victoria left, she shouted a series of expletives into her headset, and the sound of it crashing into the wall was the last thing she heard.

"That 360 no-scope headshot was for the lord." she whispered to herself, shutting off her game.

Just because the didn't ask, didn't mean she didn't know how.
