So tired...ZZZZZzzzzzz...

The two months dragged by and Avery was quite irritated by the end of it, and now two weeks later she was still pissed. Liam had made sure to stick to her side like glue for the two months, it wasn't that that had irritated her, but the fact that he refused to sleep without her had made her unhappy. She had become sexually frustrated and it seemed that Snake Eyes just found it funny. Every time that they had come close to being close Liam had found a way to get past his guardians watchful eyes and came knocking at the door. Avery wanted Snake Eyes so bad by the time the two months had past she was relieved. But then hawk sent him out on a mission, immediately. And as soon as he had returned he had to report to Hawk, then once again Hawk had sent him out.

Alpha Team had realized Avery sexual tension several weeks into the two month wait and had a good laugh about it. But now Ripcord had taken to making fun of her obvious state of unhappiness. "Hah, this is hilarious. Avery can even get her sons father into her bed. I mean I have know Snake Eyes to go to drastic measures to Avoid a confrontation but this is-" Ripcord let out a strangled sound and a growl ripped its way out of Avery's throat. He was gripping his abdomen where Avery's kick had made contact. Then her knee went up into Ripcords chin and he fell back to the ground. Just as Avery was about to stomp on his family jewels, a fitting punishment cause she also couldn't have a sexual experience, she was distracted by the one she deemed the reason behind all of this. Her distraction was enough so that Ripcord managed to get away and he hid behind Duke.

"You!" Avery hissed. She was hormonal, horny, and denied. "If it wasn't for you none of this would be this way. I loath you." She glared at Hawk as she slowly circled around him and exited the room. There was silence after, save for the whimpers from Ripcord. General Hawk looked at the way Avery had gone ,then to the rest of Alpha Team, and once more to the way she had gone.

"What did I do?" Hawk hadn't heard anything from Alpha Team and Avery had successfully threatened Fate that if she told one soul, besides her twin, she would suffer a fate far worse then anything her brother had seen or done in battle. By the time Avery had left, Fate had been shaking in her shoes and hadn't even been able to tell her sister for days afterwards. Alpha Team hadn't said a word because they didn't need a warning from Snake Eyes, they all knew it quite well what would happen. So Hawk truly had no idea why his niece was so pissed at him. Or what he had done to make her pissed. "Do any of you know?" No one dared to open their moth and let him know. "Attention!" They all stood up strait. "Now why is my niece unhappy."

Scarlet spoke out. "Sir!" Hawk stood a few feet in front of her and nodded for her to continue. Taking a single step forward Scarlet spoke. "None of us are going to say anything because it would push her anger upon us. And you saw what she was about to do to Rip." The said man whimpered when his lover mentioned what had been about to happen. "We would rather face you then her wrath." And when she finished Scarlet stepped back.

Hawk paced back and forth in front of the Joes for a few moments. He knew that Scarlet wouldn't let him know what was going on and that Ripcord wouldn't risk his manhood against Avery for quite a while. What he needed was to find the weak link. Anna was to faithful, Breaker wouldn't tell him for Snake Eyes' sake, Duke just wasn't the type to tell, and Heavy-Duty was on kid duty for some reason so he wouldn't say a word. And besides, Heavy-Duty wasn't there. "Is this true? Will none of you risk her wrath? I will make your lives hell." Ripcord mumbled something and Hawk was in front of him in seconds. "Care to repeat that?"

"I said 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.' And if any of us speak out she will indeed feel 'scorned'. And if you are 'hell' I fear what she will be like." All of the Joes visibly shivered with just that thought. "None of us will speak out against her."

"Do all of you agree with not speaking out?" He saw them all stiffen their spines and chorused a 'Sir! Yes Sir!' together. "Dismissed." Hawk left and went to find Avery. He desperately wanted to know what was the matter. But he stopped when he felt a little hand tug on the bottom of his shirt. "Yes Liam?" Hawk squatted down to his great niece's level.

"Mama is upset because I am. I wanna hang with Snake Eyes but he is staying away from me." Liam knew that lying was bad, but if none of the team would tell Hawk then he had to help his mother and make Hawk not find out about his new little sibling. So this little lie he was about to spew out wouldn't hurt anyone. Well not that he knew of. "Can you help me find Snake Eyes? If you are with me then maybe we could find him." And then to put the cherry on top Liam grabbed Hawk's hand.

"I'm sorry Liam. I hadn't realized. But Snake Eyes is out on a mission right now. He will be back in several days though. This is a very important mission for him. But don't worry this is the last one for him for a bit." When hawk said this Liam's eyes genuinely light up, but not for the reason Hawk thought. Hawk thought that it was because he would be able to spend time with his father, but the real reason that Liam's eyes light up was because if Snake Eyes was back Avery and him could work on getting Liam a little brother; or sister.
