"Man this was a long chapter to write but it ws brillinat mainly cause I wanted to write a chapter where Quiet realises that not everyone on Motherbase hates her, Flaming Buffalo is the first woman that Quiet see's and its in a bad situation if you wonder whats going to happen lets find out :)"
Chapter 12: The Silent Butterfly
Flaming Buffalo was on the medical platform and was approaching the cell where the new woman was being held until she heard trouble down below and ran to the stairs leading to the cell.
Flaming Buffalo reached the bottom of the stairs and saw two soldiers in the cell with her with one restraining her and one trying to put clothes on her and all of a sudden Quiet headbutted the soldier holding her and attacked the other soldier.
"Stop!" Flaming Buffalo called out but Quiet continued to attack the soldier so Buffalo headed to the cell door and entered then saw the soldier Quiet headbutted draw out a knife and charged at Quiet but Buffalo intervined and used CQC and planted the soldier on the ground.
Quiet took the soldier's knife from his belt and was ready to attack but the sound of the soldier being slammed to the ground got Quiet's attention and looked back and saw Buffalo disarming the soldier which really suprised her.
"Orders are to keep her alive!" Buffalo let go of the soldier's wrist and looked back and saw Quiet just standing there looking at her.
Time stood still as the soldier that Quiet attacked was out cold and the other soldier was getting up tending his wrists.
The two women starred at each other for a few seconds and Buffalo slowly approached raising her hand saying that she means no harm.
"Take it easy Quiet, All I want is the knife" Buffalo slowly approached her and she saw Quiet look down at the knife in her hand then back at Buffalo.
"I dont know what happened but prove to me you can be trusted just like Big Boss and Wolf trusts you" Buffalo saw Quiet look back at the knife for a few seconds then back at Buffalo again and made her decision.
Quiet slowly approached Buffalo and slowly handed the knife to her and backed away again.
Buffalo put the knife in her back pocket and smiled "Thank you Quiet".
Quiet was really suprised that this woman was being friendly to her unlike the other soldiers who despised her and deep down she was happy to find a few people who actually want to give her a chance, if only they knew why she was really there.
Quiet smiled and nodded but then saw the soldier behind Buffalo aiming his gun at her and her markings appeared which alerted Buffalo to the soldier behind her and she turned to face him.
"Stand down soldier!" Buffalo ordered.
The soldier was shocked "Are you kidding you saw what she did she needs to die".
Buffalo didnt back down "I dont know what exactly happened but all I saw was you retraining her and the other soldier forcing clothes on her".
The soldier took a step forward still aiming his gun "What about our comrade on the floor is he even alive or dont you care".
Before Buffalo could repond she saw the solider turn his attention to Quiet and she turned around and saw Quiet leaning down by the soldier with her two fingers on his neck and she looked up and nodded telling them the soldier was alive.
"You are a freak of nature bitch you dont belong here!" The solider shouted out and Buffalo turned to him.
"Stand down soldier!" Buffalo ordered one last time and the soldier finally gave up and put his gun in his holster.
"This is a mistake Buffalo she will be the end of us" The soldier gritted his teeth and left leaving the soldier he was with in there with the two women.
Buffalo turned and attended to the knocked out solider and she could tell he was in a rough state and would be in a hospital bed for a while so she turned to Quiet hoping to get answers.
"You cant speak cant you Quiet" Buffalo asked and Quiet was hesitant but soon she shook her head.
Buffalo sighed "At least you can understand me, listen I need to report this to Commander Ocelot please just listen to him and explain to him with sign language..you can do that right?".
Quiet rubbed her arm and Buffalo saw a bruise starting to form but Quiet nodded which pleased Buffalo.
"alright I want you to just sit on your bed while this gets delt with, can you do that?" Buffalo then saw Quiet get up and walk to her bed and to Buffalo's suprise she was happy to know that Quiet was causing no trouble with her but this incident was going to look back on her but what she also found strange was the way Quiet was dressed in just a bra and panties while wearing leggings she had to admit she was a beautiful woman.
An hour had past and a few medical personal finally got the soldier on a stretcher and out of the cell leaving Ocelot and Buffalo alone with Quiet.
"So what happened Buffalo?" Ocelot asked while looking at Quiet sitting on her bed looking to the side like a child in trouble.
"Well I didnt see everything but I saw the two soldiers in here with her, one was restraining her and the other was trying to put clothes on her" Buffalo explained.
Ocelot sighed "Quiet why would you wear clothes?".
Quiet finally looked up at the two and pointed to the clothes on the floor and pretended to put the jacket on and the put her hands to her throat pretending to be chocked.
Ocelot rubbed his head "So if clothes are put on you...you will sufficate?" Quiet nodded.
Buffalo then spoke "So that explains why you are dressed like this, you need you skin exposed to air to breath...is that correct?".
Before Quiet could respond she heard someone coming down the stairs and soon enough she saw that it was Wolf and she turned her face to avoid him and she even still refused to look at him as he entered the cell.
"What happened in here Ocelot" Wolf asked.
Ocelot continued to look at Quiet as he explained "Well according to Quiet she was being forced to wear clothes by two soldiers but it turns out she will sufficate if clothes cover her skin".
Wolf frowned "Forced clothes on her?".
Ocelot turned to Wolf "Thats what I find strange but we dont know much else".
Wolf then turned to Buffalo "I heard you handled the situation quite nicely" Wolf smiled at her.
"One soldier drew a knife to attack her while she was attack the other so I went to stop him then Quiet stopped her assault, she has listened and thanks to her the situation calmed" Buffalo turned to Quiet and saw her look up and smile at her before looking back down.
Wolf decided to step closer to Quiet which made her go tense but he stopped and knelt down in front of her but she looked to the side avoiding his gaze.
"Quiet I said I would give you a chance here and I still trust you, we dont know what exactly happened but please help us understand why so we can help you" Wolf said in a calm tone and after a few seconds Quiet turned looking at Wolf and nodded.
"What happened Quiet" Wolf asked and after a few seconds Quiet turned to the end of he bed and reached for her cassette player which was a gift from Wolf and handed it to him and he examined it and looked back at her.
"You recorded what happened?" Wolf asked and she slowly nodded then she placed her finger on the rewind button till it stopped and Wolf stood up and went to Ocelot and Buffalo and hit play.
"Hey sweetheart rise and shine" The soldier chuckled.
"She looks sexy in that doesnt she" The other soldier sounded perverted.
The tape continued on reveal the soldiers harrassing and soon hear the soldiers enter the cell and grabbing her.
"Dont be shy you must get lonely down here" One of the soldiers laughed.
The tape then revealed the sound of Quiet struggling against them and then then the tape revealed her get slammed to the side of the cell and heard her fall to the ground.
"Those fucking bastards" Buffalo gritted her teeth as her, Ocelot and Wolf continued to listen.
"Looks like she is playing hard to get no matter her ass will be ours soon, now come on beautiful time to get you dressed". The soldier could be heard restraining Quiet as the other tried to put clothes on her then Buffalo's voice came on the tape and Wolf hit stop.
"Now we know what happened" Wolf was fumed with anger.
"They will be delt with later and I promise they will recieve the biggest punishment possible" Ocelot supported Wolf and Buffalo just looked at Quiet completely sorry for her as Quiet just looked at the floor as they listened to the tape.
"Thats how you got that bruise on your arm wasnt it Quiet?" Buffalo asked and Quiet slowly nodded.
Wolf approached Quiet and pulled out a medical cream in his backpack and Quiet looked at him.
"Trust me Quiet as I trust you" Wolf undid the top and put cream on his finger tips and after a few seconds Quiet nodded and allowed him to apply the cream on the bruise on her arm and as he applied and massaged to cream on the bruise deep down she began to enjoy the feel of his fingers massaging her skin hell she started to love it but remained emotionless.
"This should fade the bruise in a few hours" Wolf then turned and then realised the ceiling was covered and no light could get in.
"Buffalo do me a favour and turn off the shutters covering the cell, lets get some light in".
Buffalo went out the cell and hit the switch on the wall on the shutters pulled back revealing sunlight and it landed right on Quiet.
Buffalo returned to Wolf and Ocelot as they explained what to do next and all of a sudden they heard Quiet moan and they turned their attention to her and saw she was looking up at the sun with her arms stretched out and soon enoungh they saw the bruise on her arm fade immeadiatley and after a few seconds she breath a sigh of relieve and smiled.
Ocelot chucked "So sunlight is what gives her full strength".
Buffalo walked up to Quiet and she examined her arm and saw the bruise was comepletley gone and looked at Quiet.
"In sunlight it looks like her wounds heal quick, wish I had that magic power Quiet" Buffalo smiled and Quiet let out a little chuckle.
"Got to admit its impressive" Wolf agreed
Ocelot then interrupted "Anyway we better get this to Miller and Big Boss for all we know that soldier has gone and reported what Quiet did so we better head there quick before Miller acts".
"Alright I'm gonna head to medical and report to the doctors what really happened I will see you two later" Buffalo stated and walked out and made her way to the stairs not before looking at Wolf with a wink reminding him that she was having him tonight and Wolf returned the wink.
Ocelot caught on and chuckled "I'm gonna take this tape and take it to the Boss, I want you to be there to present it Wolf".
Wolf nodded " Yeah just give me a second with Quiet I will catch up".
Ocelot padded Wolf back and left leaving Wolf and Quiet alone.
Quiet looked up at Wolf wondering what he wanted and she saw him sat next to her.
"Quiet I am truly sorry for what happened to you earlier and after what I heard on the tape I know you were just defending yourself" Wolf assured her and saw her grip her bedsheet tight in anger now that her full strength was back.
"I also know you hate me for what I did to you in Cyprus at the hospital" Wolf added and saw her look away being reminded of that.
"You were just following orders like any other soldier just like I was and I'm not asking for forgiveness I know its impossible but all I ask is you give Big Boss, Ocelot, Buffalo and me a chance to prove that we arnt like the rest" Wolf saw Quiet thinking it over but still didnt look at him.
Wolf got up and picked up the empty cassette player which caught Quiet's attention wondering what he was doing with it and then she saw him put another music tape in it and even though she hid her emotions she was smiling inside and he offered the cassette tape with the new music in it.
"We dont have to be friend's Quiet if you dont want to, but we also dont have to be enemies" Wolf saw Quiet look at the tape before looking at Wolf and she slowly took the cassette tape from him and she examined the tape and it was labeled "Kids In America" and she hit play and the music started and then she saw Wolf put a pack of cigerettes and a lighter on her bed.
"I'm quitting anyway so if you want them there yours" Wolf smiled and left leaving Quiet looking at the pack and then watched Wolf leave area she was very shocked that Wolf was this nice she assumed it was to gain her trust but she started smiling, she never had anyone be this nice to her so she placed the cassette player on the floor and layed on her bed opening the pack of cigirettes and lit one up and took a deep drag and sighed with relief.
Back at the command centre Big Boss, Ocelot were dealing with an angry Miller who heard what happened and even had one of the soldiers with him.
"She attacked this soldier and a fellow comrade just cause she wouldnt wear clothes and now that other soldier is breathing through tubes" Miller stated.
Ocelot folded his arms "Is that all that happened soldier is there anything else you want to tell us?".
The soldier stood to attention "No sir we just went in there and she got violent".
Ocelot frowned "Are you absolutley sure?".
The soldier frowned "No sir me and my friend just went in there to put clothes on her".
Miller sighed "Boss she cant stay here, we need to deal with her before something else happens".
Big Boss was about to speak but Wolf soon entered and had daggers in his eyes at the soldier next to Miller as he approached Big Boss.
"Wolf is Quiet alright?" Big Boss asked.
Wolf nodded "Yes Boss she is fine".
Miller's anger rised "What! you are more concerned about her then your own men!".
Wolf turned to Miller "You dont know what really happened Miller".
Big Boss took out his cassette player and Ocelot took out the tape they got from Quiet and handed it to Big Boss.
"Is there anything you want to say before we play this soldier?" Big Boss inserted the tape not looking at the soldier.
The soldier was hesitant "No Boss".
Big Boss hit play and placed it on his desk and soon the audio revealed the truth.
"Hey sweetheart rise and shine" The soldier chuckled.
"She looks sexy in that doesnt she" The other soldier sounded perverted.
The tape continued on reveal the soldiers harrassing and soon hear the soldiers enter the cell and grabbing her.
"Dont be shy you must get lonely down here" One of the soldiers laughed.
The tape then revealed the sound of Quiet struggling against them and then then the tape revealed her get slammed to the side of the cell and heard her fall to the ground.
"Looks like she is playing hard to get no matter her ass will be ours soon, now come on beautiful time to get you dressed".
The soldier could be heard restraining Quiet as the other tried to put clothes on her then Buffalo's voice came on and Big Boss hit stop and the room went silent and Ocelot, Wolf and finally Big Boss looked at the soldier.
"Soldier you and your buddy are discharged from Diamond Dogs you will be escorted off this base with immeadate effect if you resist you will be shot on site" Big Boss stated and signalled Ocelot to take him away leaving just Wolf, Big Boss and Miller.
"This is what happens when we jump to conclusions Miller for all we know this soldier could have done the same thing to other female soldiers without us knowing" Big Boss stated and Miller was still angery.
"Even if she was a victim I dont want her here she is too dangerous" Miller didnt back down.
Wolf frowned "Miller, she defended herself god know what would have happened if she didnt".
Miller turned to Wolf "She is Cipher Wolf, sooner or later she is gonna strike and we will lose everything".
Big Boss walked around his desk and folded his arms looking at Miller "Its my decision Miller, I am not going to throw away a possible asset just cause you dont like her she is staying and that will be the end of it.
Miller gritted his teeth and left not before turning to Big Boss "This is a huge mistake she will be the end of us!".
Big Boss sighed and rubbed his head and Wolf spoke "Boss do you still want me to overlook the tests on Quiet".
Big Boss looked at Wolf "Yeah go and see to it I think she will alot calmer if you and Buffalo are there, I'm heading back out in a few hours so let me know the results when I return".
Wolf nodded "You got it Boss" Wolf left Big Boss alone and soon enough Big Boss took out a tape and started writing on it.
Wolf finally made his way back to the medical platform and saw a soldier spraying on a board near the cell.
"Hey! Stop right there!" Wolf called out and the soldier stopped and turned around.
"Explain yourself solider" Wolf went straight up to the soldier waiting for an answer.
"Sir she attacked our soldiers she doesnt belong here" The soldier stated.
Wolf snatched the spray paint from his hand "That is not for you to decide, if you have a problem with it go see Big Boss and as for her attacking our soliders she defended herself and if you want prove go and see Big Boss aswell".
The soldier sighed and walked past him but Wolf grabbed his arm and starred right into his eyes.
"Dont you dare start acting funny pal if you have a problem with the way things are run here you can leave, this isnt a kindergarden and if I ever see you graffiting on motherbase again I will send you to hell personally..understood" Wolf said in a dark tone which frightened the solider.
"Ye-yes Sir it wont happen again" The soldier responded and Wolf sighed and let go of him.
"Look I know everyone is on edge with her here but what happened down there earlier has not been revealed to everyone so go and see Big Boss and he will tell you what happen" Wolf saw the soldier nod.
"Yes sir i will again I apologize" The soldier saluted.
"Its alright just dont do it again just be better then this" Wolf patted the soldier's shoulder and he turned and went done the stairs to the cell.
Once he turned the cornor he saw Quiet in the shower just basking in glory it was quite the site.
"Shit sorry Quiet I didnt realise" Wolf felt disgusted showing up at this time but Quiet looked at him and continued showering and then she started to shake which alerted Wolf.
"Quiet whats wrong?" Wolf went to the cell door fearing for her health and as soon as he opened the door she stopped shaking and turned the water off.
Wolf was at the door just looking at her making sure she wasnt going to collapse but then she turned to him and then sat on the floor playing with the water.
"Quiet what are you doing?" Wolf was puzzled as she looked at him and resumed playing with the water.
Wolf felt like he shouldnt be here but he had to make sure she was alright.
Soon enough Quiet stopped playing with the water and stood up in the sun and Wolf saw soaked skin suddenly dry and he pretty sure he saw the water on her body absorb into her and then she turned to him.
"Quiet are you alright?" Wolf slowly approached and she nodded and she pointed to the water and rubbed her arm and the pretended to drink.
"Wait..you were drinking..through your skin?" Wolf frowned and Quiet smiled and nodded happy that he understood.
Wolf looked to the sun then back at her "I see...listen Quiet I have been tasked to take you with me to medical to run some tests on these abilities".
Quiet frowned and backed up and her markings appeared and Wolf raised his hand to ease her "Easy Quiet nothing bad is going to happen Big Boss told me and Buffalo to be with you there, there will be no one else except for two doctors and me, Buffalo and Ocelot...trust me".
Quiet looked to the side thinking for a few second then the markings vanished and she turned to Wolf and nodded.
Wolf sighed with relief and walked up to Quiet until he was at arms length "Its only up the stairs and the centre is right there it wont take long I promise"
Quiet looked up towards the stairs then back at Wolf and she slowly raised her hand offering it.
Wolf looked at her hand and slowly raised his own hand and they shook hands and then Quiet placed her other hand on her chest and tapped it a few times then pointed and Wolf and smiled.
Wolf smiled "Thank you for trusting me Quiet, I wont betray it".
As soon as Wolf let go of her hand and went to the cell door but Quiet looked down at her own hand hand she felt tingles in her palm and fingertip which suprised her and all of a sudden she missed having Wolf's hand in hers but she shook it off knowing it was nothing but acts of kindness from Wolf.
Quiet went to the bed and picked up the cigerettes Wolf gave her and showed them to him.
Wolf chuckled "You can bring them".
Quiet smiled and took the cigerettes and followed Wolf up the stairs and was finally out in the open she quickly looked out to the sea and saw how beautiful it look with the sun just touching the ocean and soon turned and followed Wolf to Medical.
"So Buffalo is willing to trust Quiet and it looks like Quiet is started to take a liking to Buffalo and Wolf ESPECIALLY WOLF lol guess time heals wounds as they say and as for the soldiers that harassed Quiet they will return cause I have a good idea coming but you wont know just yet ;)
