It's been more than six weeks, since Team Metal heard anything from The Task Force. The whole team was pretty worried about them not contacting them with any details.
Diamond was completely worried about Price, Soap, Nikolai, Yuri and even Melody. She wondered if their mission was a success, or was it their last mission.
It was 5:45 A.M, Diamond has been getting up earlier than expected for the past two weeks. She was in the gym, with her earplugs on and lifting forty pound weights. She was the only one in the gym, so she didn't expect to be bothered by anyone.
But suddenly, she felt a tap on her left shoulder. She opened her eye's to find Grinch standing above her, she gave him a straight look and closed back her eye's and kept lifting the weights.
Grinch knew she woke up early and went to the gym, due to multiple times he would knock on her door and she wouldn't be there
For the past two weeks, Grinch and everybody else has been getting the cold shoulder from Diamond. Grinch was getting tired of this kind of mood from her, she had changed.
She was acting the same way, she was acting a few months ago when she found out Price, and Soap went Disavowed. Emotionless, took everything seriously, and didn't want to be bothered by anybody.
Grinch then took the weights out of her hands, and dropped them on the floor behind him, and took out her headphones. Diamond looked up at him with a very smug and depressed expression.
"Diamond! We need to talk" Grinch stated, Diamond just looked back down and saw the weights. She tried to reach over to get the weights, but then Grinch got in the way. Diamond looked back up at him.
"Can you move?" Diamond asked, in a very deep deprived tone.
"No, talk to me first" Grinch replied, crossing his arms. Diamond stood up.
"Fine" Diamond said, Grinch got out of the way. Diamond started to walk, then tried to run over to the weight station.
Grinch caught what she was trying to do, and acted fast. He hurried and picked her up by the waist and threw her over his left shoulder. Grinch was waiting for Diamond to start struggling to get out of his grasp, but she didn't. Grinch realized, Diamond had changed more then he had thought.
Grinch then walked out of the gym, and started walking to his room. Once he arrived to the door, he saw Sandman come out of his. Sandman saw Grinch carrying Diamond, and couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm not going to ask" Sandman stated, then walked the opposite direction.
Grinch just grinned at his comment, then entered his room, he locked the door behind him. Then headed for his bedroom, he then laid Diamond down on the bed.
Diamond then stood up, and headed for the door. Grinch then quickly grabbed her hands behind her back.
"Grinch, why don't you leave me alone?" Diamond asked, with a deep voice.
"Because you need...You need to talk me Diamond. Tell me why your acting like this" Grinch answered, letting her go.
Diamond didn't run off, she just turned around and looked up at him.
"You know why I'm acting like this?" Diamond asked, furrowing her eyebrows.
"No, I've been trying to get you to tell me!" Grinch replied, crossing his arms.
"Because, 141 could be dead for all I know" Diamond answered.
"How is there death such a big problem now? Before you saw them, you hadn't seen them in like six years!...And I thought you were the one that said, you would never cry about death or anything for that matter?" Grinch stated.
"Does it fucking look like I'm crying? I'm not made of brick, Cole. I still have to show that emotion in another way" Diamond paused for a moment, Grinch was surprised that she had used his real name.
"Before I entered the Military I used to cry about everything, once I started out it was a new start. So I promised myself I would never cry about anything...Anybody...I had to be ruthless. So this was my next way of expressing that emotion" Diamond explained looking up at him.
Grinch pinched the bridge of his nose, then put his hand down.
"I rather you cry once, than be like this. For weeks or even months!" Grinch explained.
"What do you not understand! Crying is for bitches..." Diamond then got interrupted.
"And what! Depression is for assholes...Because that's how your acting." Grinch pointed out.
Diamond looked up at his dark blue eye's. She then noticed his eye's were anything but dark, they were filled with love, happiness. And it was all being held back, by her. She then looked down at the ground.
"Grinch...We shouldn't be together.." Diamond said, still looking at the ground.
"What!" Grinch yelled, widening his eye's a bit.
"I'm holding you back from any happiness, or love you have. I rather you be free from me, and find somebody better, that can love you back." Diamond cleared up.
Grinch couldn't believe what she was saying. Then he took his left hand and held up her chin, to have her eye's facing his.
"Diamond! I don't want to hear you say that, because without you..I won't have any happiness, and I only have love for you...Diamond I love you, I would never leave you like this! So weather you like it or not, your stuck with me!" Grinch explained.
Diamond laughed a bit. Grinch grew a smile seeing her laugh again. He hadn't seen any type of emotion from Diamond in two weeks, and he was glad to see her happy again. Diamond looked up into his eye's.
"I swear, your the only other person...To really make me happy..And I have to say.." Diamond was interrupted, by Grinch smashing his warms lips with hers. Grinch then looked down at her.
"Remember, that's how you thank me" Grinch pointed out, seeing Diamond smile once more.
Grinch then gathered her in his arms and hugged her. Diamond laid her head on his chest, hearing his slow but steady heartbeat. Diamond felt relaxed at that very moment, then glanced at Grinch's eye's then looked down.
Grinch then took his for head, and brought up her head with his. Their for heads were leaning against each other, they both closed their eye's, Diamond then felt a striking pain in her head. Diamond then quickly backed up, and started rubbing her head.
"Damn Grinch...Ow! Your big head, gave me a headache" Diamond stated rubbing her head still.
"God damn it, Diamond. Why is that every time I try to be romantic, you always find a way to ruin it?" Grinch asked, joking.
"Who ever said I liked romance, in my case I think it's disgusting and a waste of my time" Diamond explained with a smile.
"Oh really, then why did you kiss me? That's romance you know" Grinch said.
"That is not! That showing affection for a person." Diamond replied.
Grinch then got a idea, Grinch then picked up Diamond in a bridal way.
"So is this romantic?" Grinch questioned. Diamond nodded yes.
"Well I have to pick you up like this if we get married" Grinch pointed out.
"Hold up Whitey. Who said were getting married?" Diamond asked, with a arched eyebrow.
"What? You don't want to marry me?" Grinch questioned, still having her in his hands.
"No not really, I still have my sights on that guy in that movie" Diamond joked, and was referring to Battle Los Angeles.
Grinch laughed at her. He then fell backwards onto the bed.
Grinch laid completely flat, vertically. Diamond was sitting up, looking at him closing his eye's.
"Diamond, what would you say if I did ask you?" Grinch asked, Diamond widened her eye's a bit at the question.
"I don't know, probably no" Diamond answered, making Grinch open his eye's.
"No? Why?" Grinch questioned, looking up at her.
"Well because, were in the military Grinch. You never know when this or that person will die, so I don't want that close of bond with them" Diamond explained.
"Well, you being with me is already a bond you know." Grinch pointed out.
"Marriage is a bigger bond. Your legally, physically, and mentally bonded. That's why I'm going to wait till Makarov's dead, and the world is at peace to marry someone" Diamond cleared up.
"Why does the end of that bastard matter, for your future?" Grinch questioned.
"Because that bastard, has killed millions of innocent civilians and soldiers." Diamond explained.
"So say after Makarov, and were both living. Will you say yes?" Grinch questioned.
"We'll see" Diamond answered, getting up from the bed. And heading out his bedroom door, and then out his front door.
Grinch followed her, out the front door.
"Where are we going?" Grinch asked.
"Well you can go see where the guys are at. And come wake me up when you find them" Diamond stated, with a grin.
"Yeah right, lazy ass. We're going together" Grinch stated, grabbing her hand and pulling her down the sidewalk pavement.
They then made their way over to the staff room. Where they found, Sandman on the wall phone. The two walked over to him.
"Yes sir, we will get it done" Sandman said, then hung up the phone.
"What's up, boss?" Grinch asked.
"We're being called in" Sandman replied.
"For what?" Diamond questioned.
"Gather the team, in the conference room I will be there to explain it all" Sandman stated, the two nodded. Sandman then walked out of the room.
Diamond looked over at Grinch.
"Well you heard the man, go get 'em." Diamond said, about to walk over to one of the chairs by the T.V. But was then was grabbed by the waist by Grinch, she looked at him, he had a very stern look.
"What! I'm so tired" Diamond explained.
"Who fucking told you to wake up early in the first place?" Grinch pointed out, Diamond then gave him a exhausted expression.
"Why don't you pick me up and carry me? It seems that you like that" Diamond replied, with a flirty grin.
"Hell no, I think I pulled a muscle just carrying you the last time" Grinch joked, rubbing his shoulder.
"Weakling" Diamond said, and started to walk out the staff room, Grinch followed behind.
They then walked all the way back to the team's quarters, which wasn't that far only ten meters away.
Once they got there, they knocked on both Truck and Frost door. Truck opened his door, looking half asleep. Then both Diamond and Grinch widened their eye's at who opened Frost's door.
"Sasha? What the hell?" Diamond said, very confused. Why she was seeing one of the privates opening Frost's door.
Diamond and Grinch then saw Frost come up behind her shirtless. Sasha just walked in between Diamond and Grinch and soon disappeared in the distant, without saying anything.
Grinch looked at Frost.
"You hitting that man?" Grinch asked with a arched eyebrow, Frost nodded his head in a relaxed way.
"Aw man...I'm..." Grinch started to say, then got a punch in the stomach back Diamond.
"Yeah. You finish that sentence I swear, your not going to be able to hit anybody" Diamond said, in a way very threatening.
"You know I love you right?" Grinch asked, trying not to make her jealous.
"Frost, Truck meet up in the conference room. We're being called in" Diamond stated, Truck and Frost nodded, then went back inside their rooms.
Diamond just took one look at Grinch and scoffed at him. She then started walking without him. Grinch just sighed, and started to walk, a few feet behind Diamond.
Diamond then met to the conference room, Diamond sat in a seat by Sandman. Sandman was looking at a few files.
"They should be coming, just now" Diamond informed, while putting a book and a pen on the chair next to her.
Grinch then walked in, and went to go sit by Diamond. He looked down at the chair, and looked over at Diamond. Diamond looked back at him, with a quite satisfied look.
"This seat is already taken" Diamond lied, crossing her legs.
"Hell it is" Grinch said.
"I'm serious, I'm saving that for Truck" Diamond said, with a slight evil grin.
Grinch rolled his eye's and just pick up the book and pen, and put it on the table. Grinch knew what she was trying to do.
Grinch then took his seat, Diamond then turned her chair so her back was facing Grinch. They then heard the door open, Diamond looked back. And saw Truck and Frost. Sandman looked up from his files and toward the door.
"Okay, so Overlord called me this morning. We're being called in for Berlin" Sandman stated, as Frost and Truck sat down.
"What's the mission?" Diamond asked.
"We have to save Alena Vorshevsky. As you know her father is captured, and it seems Makarov is targeting her, so her father will give up the nuclear launch codes." Sandman explained.
"So when are we going?" Grinch asked.
"Now. They have a jet ready for us. The pilots will be waiting" Sandman informed.
"Tell them, we can fly there by our self. When were done, I want to make a stop since were on that side" Diamond explained, Sandman nodded knowing what stop she wanted to make.
Diamond and the rest of the team got up, and walked out of the door. They headed back to their quarters, to get there gear on.
It was 10:28 A.M, and the team was now boarding up onto the plane. It was a smaller jet then they used the last time, but enough room for the five of them.
Diamond and Grinch just got into the cockpit. Diamond sat in the left seat and took off her helmet and black shaded sunglasses that covered almost her whole face. Grinch sat in the right seat, and took off his cap and glasses. Grinch started up the plane, and Diamond pressed five buttons above her. Grinch pressed two buttons on his right, Diamond looked over at Grinch.
"We're good" Diamond informed, putting her hands on the starring wheel.
"Okay ready?" Grinch asked, looking at her. Diamond nodded.
They then started to raise the speed of the plane, once they got over 180mph. They pulled up on the starring wheel to get it higher.
"Three-forty" Diamond informed. As they we're not to high.
After five minutes, they got the plane up to one thousand feet high.
"So it should take us a shorter time to get to Berlin?" Diamond asked.
"Yeah, this is a smaller jet. And Berlin is closer, I would say two hours tops." Grinch explained.
"That's pretty quick" Diamond pointed out, being slightly surprised.
"After two hours, the team made it to the base near Berlin. They got out of the plane, and informed the base that they were there. They all got into one chopper, and was already in the air.
After fifteen minutes, the chopper was already entering Berlin airspace. As Diamond and the team saw the now almost gone Berlin. Diamond closed her eye's and thought of the millions of that were here before.
"Damn, I rather fight in world war 1. Then to be stuck in this war" Diamond stated.
Hey guys, sorry for the slight delay. Yeah I almost forgot about this mission, so I'm glad I went over the missions before I wrote a chapter which would jump the timeline. But yeah, here it is.
So what do guys think will happen to them on this mission? Who do think died on 141's mission? And how will Diamond deal with it, will she go back in to depression mode, or will it be too big of news that she will just cry? R&R Please and Thank You!
