"You want me on your task force?" Aaron questioned. It was later in the afternoon in Hereford while Aaron attempted to eat a bowl of soup in bed, praying it would stay in her stomach. Price came to her after he talked with both Soap and Johnston. Soap told Price about Aaron being discharged and why she dreaded it. He talked Price into bringing her and what's rest of her team onto the One-Four-One…with a few exceptions.

"Yes." Price answered. "But there is a catch."

"I figured that." Aaron replied. "What is it?"

"I have seen your record and you are one remarkable soldier, but my task force is very elite." Price explained. "We have some of the best soldiers in the world who are amazing at what they do."

"Okay…"

"Now I based on your record you have been in combat, but I was truly amazed at your knowledge with computers. But you also have an understanding of basic mechanics."

"Where's this going Price?" Aaron finally asked avoiding the topic of her

"I want you on the One-Four-One as a technician on the computers and anywhere else I could use you."

Aaron sat up a little bit. No more combat? That would be kind of nice. Spending her days doing what she really loved… it was perfect. But she would feel weird staying behind when they went out putting their lives on the line. But by the look on Price's face, she could tell he wasn't up for a negotiation.

"Okay." she agreed. "As long as the others agree too."

"I have already talked to them and they said as long as everyone agrees to it, then they would all join."

This made Aaron smile just a little. "Thank you Price." She thanked him. "For everything." The captain stood up. "No need for thank you's." he told her as he stood up. "I'll go talk to Johnston." Price left the room, leaving Aaron with a small smile still on her face.

ONE MONTH LATER

Aaron slowly began to recover. Her stab wounds were healing remarkably and her bruised ribs were nearly healed so she was able to get out of bed for a little bit, but it she couldn't stand for too long because it tired her out. Her blood infection was still there though slowly going away and it would be a while until it was completely diminished. As far as her sickness went, she still suffered from the usual symptoms: fever, drowsiness, nausea, coughing, and of course throwing up. Her stomach still had trouble holding food down so she still suffered extreme vomiting episodes. Her hand and wrist needed another three weeks in the cast before she could start get it taken off. She also was gaining a little weight back, but not a lot with the diet she was on. She wouldn't regain all the weight she lost until she switched back to solid foods and began training again.

As for Ben, he was improving as well. He had suffered from a pretty bad concussion, a dislocated shoulder, three stab wounds, two infections, and a lot more minor injuries. He and Aaron got to see one another a few days after their arrival in Hereford and Soap could never forget the sight of those two reuniting.

FLASHBACK

Aaron was lying in bed reading when Soap came in. "Hey." He greeted. Aaron looked up at him. "Hi…" she replied.

"How are you feeling?" Soap asked walking over.

"Better than before." Aaron replied

"I have someone you might want to see…"

"Who?"

Soap looked at the door as did Aaron when someone came walking in. Aaron's face broke into a smile when she saw Ben even though he had his shoulder wrapped from it being dislocated and his other forearm wrapped with gauze pads from a stab wound. His skin regained color and he had put on some weight in the few days they've been there so he didn't look as sickly. Aaron dropped her book as she got out of bed and walked over to Ben.

Ben wrapped his arms around Aaron's waist carefully because he thought if he held onto her too hard he would break her. "Hey Aaron…" he said quietly. She pulled back and wiped her eyes that were filling with tears. "Hey…" she replied with a chuckle. Ben looked at her eyes and saw a spark of life in them again which he hasn't seen in months since they've been captured. Soap quietly walked past the two and out of the room, but turned around to see Aaron hug Ben again only this time she started to cry quietly into his shirt

REALITY

Ever since those two got to seeing each other again, it was almost as if they we always with one another. Aaron would sit with Ben in his room or he would go to his and they would just sit and talk. It also seemed to help Aaron with getting better from her illness. She was happier and livelier when he was around then when he wasn't. It also seemed like he was the only person she really talked to. Sure she would say something to Soap and Price when they in to see her, but she had conversations with Ben. Long meaningful ones to be specific. They would talk about anything and they would go on and on for hours talking.
