I'm standing next to a wall quietly. My regoing today's events. I saved rodgers life. But two other soldiers, who were supposed to live. Died in his place.

Is that how this works? Save a life, two die? Hmm. I'll have to test that theory some more to be sure.

I'm drawn from my thoughts at a tap to my shoulder. I look up. Felix is standing at my side. He waves lightly. I return the gesture just as an obnoxious voice shouts. "Tucker!"

"If you hug me, I will shoot you."

"Ah it's okay Tucker. I-I know you're more into groping. Come on, let's grope."

I snort, shaking my head he guys start to converse. When Simmons asks, "What happened?"

Felix pats my shoulder once before moving away from me to join in the conversation.

"Oh, I'll tell you what happened." He cocks his head deviously. "Captain Tucker here decided to disobey orders and and took it upon himself to recover a hard drive full of Federal Army secrets. A decision that only cost him the lives of three of his men." His voice was hard. And cold. And it turned me on immensely.

I knew he wasn't mad. He'd told me so earlier. Sure enough. He slaps his thigh lightly, voice much more cheery.

"That's a pretty damn good trade if I do say so myself!"

"What?" Tucker asks, surprised.

Felix laughs, "Man, you should've seen this guy!" He raises his DMR. "He was all," Felix Lowers his voice. A thing most wouldn't think twice of, to me, that was really attractive. "I don't play by the rules! Fucking James Bonding and shit all over the place! It was crazy!" His hands danced all over as he spoke. Accentuating his depiction."

Tucker cocks his head confused. "Wait, I thought you were pissed?"

Felix drops his voice again. "Oh, do not get me wrong, I wanted to beat your worthless skull into the ground until it was paste." I grin at that. Remembering him shouting those exact words. "But look where we are now, you took a risk and it paid off."

"Paid off?!' Dude, three of our guys are dead." Tucker shouts. I purse my lips for a moment. He had a point. Or, did he? I mean it was only two guys. And this is war. People die everyday.

Felix shakes his head, "And three more will probably die tomorrow. Seriously, what don't you people get about that?"

Hmm. Great minds think alike.

Kimball appears. I instantly feel a small spark of anger. I know i shouldnt. But i do. "That's enough, Felix." She chides.

'That's enough Felix' I mock in my mind.

Felix clears his throat. "Just sayin'." Before moving to stand beside me. "Can you believe this shit?" He asks. Mostly to himself.

I shrug. "They're idiots. Its kinda their thing." He glances at me. "Yeah. I guess you're right." It sounds almost like, appreciation in his tone.

After the conversation drifted to morals, and what everyone felt was worth what. If also seemed that they'd found Washes location. Felix leaned into my ear and had told me though we'd never be able to break them out.

And with this rag tag group of soldiers. I found that very easy to believe.

In the end. Kimball noted that we had five days to prepare. And if we were ready by then, we'd be allowed to go on a mission.

In the end Felix stated, "...Yeah, um, if this is really happening, I'd like to be paid in advance."

Drawing a giggle from me. But. Low and behold, Kimball agreed. Deigning to lead him to a room full of alien weaponry.

"Woah." I gasp at the alien tech. Felix chuckles. "First time seeing this kinda stuff." I wrinkle my nose at him. "No. Just the first time its actually been real!"

I scramble off to look at a table covered in plasma pistols. "Don't touch those Sabrina. They're weapons. Called -" "Plasma pistols. Thank you. I know what they are."

I replied dryly to Kimball. I pick one up and hold it out, as if aiming. But in reality I was gaging its fill level.

"They're all busted." Felix states. Moving to my side. "Not one thing in this room is still active. But. They're still worth a pretty penny."

I frown. "It's not busted." Making both people freeze."

"What?" Kimball asks.

I turn, holding the pistol out. "See when the ammo capsule is empty it powers down the gun. And this clip sticks out. So it looks broken. But really you just need to refuel it." I say. Tossing the gun to Kimball.

"How do- how do you know that?" Kimball asks in shock.

I go to answer, saying I just play a lot of video games. But I pause. That's kinda lame. "Oh, I uh. I studied up on alien technology and languages in college." They both stare blankly at me. Before Kimball clears her throat. "So uh. Felix. You can choose one gun for payment on that hit and run."

He nods moving to a table with a few carbines on it. "You don't want those." I say walking up behind him. He gives me a curious amused look. "Oh yeah? What do I want then?" His tone held an almost hidden meaning. I play innocent though and move to a table with plasma rifles.

"They may not look as cool. But when it's reloaded this thing kicks ass." Felix nods approvingly.

"So how do you power up on of these weapons?" I gesture to the gage. "Well it depends on the make and model. With most there's cartridges you can pick up. Others, high concentration of light radiation will do the trick." He looks down at me. I can only imagine the face he made beneath the helmet.

"Well alright then. I'll take this-?" "Plasma Rifle." "This plasma rifle."

I hear Kimball muttering aggravatedly. That Felix was showing me more interest than her. I turn to leave but Felix grabs my arm.

"Hey, you think maybe tonight you could stop by my room? I've got a lot of, weaponry, I'd like you to take a look at."

I smirk beneath my helmet. "Sounds great."

I was just heading towards my room for the night when I heard talking.

"Or are- are they laser babies?"

Caboose.

I then also heard the sickly sweet sound of Felix's voice. "While we're talking business, if you guys are serious about rescuing your friends by the end of the week I could always be persuaded to increase my level of assistance. For a one time fee of course, maybe something along the lines of an alien energy sword. Mmm, any takers? Tucker?" He purrs in a sexy sing song voice.

Tucker chuckles back dryly. "I don't think so. If you like the New Republic so much, how come you still charge them for your help?"

Felix tilts his head. "Because when I retire, I want a television the size of a billboard. And a mansion to house my beautiful wife I plan to have."

I feel a small pang of jealousy in my gut. Wishing lightly I could be that wife.

Caboose responds. "Who? Like miss trex lady? Well, that's gonna be bad for you guyss eyes." Felix chuckles.

"Exactly like miss trex lady."

I blush brightly and move so I couldn't be seen behind my wall as they kept speaking.

" I'm just saying, you could always help us out for free. You know, mix it up a little!"

Felix chides, "Ah. Mmm. Okay. So you want me to help you rescue your friends, because...what, it's the right thing to do?"

" Yeah, it's called 'not being a dick."

"Hmm. You know, if I recall, the first time these people ever asked you for help, you turned them down,Well. All except Sabrina. Who, sweetly offered her services. Though, I do think that may have been for her own gain.".

Well he's not wrong.

"You all, Figured this whole 'civil war thing' wasn't your problem. (chuckles) In fact, I bet, if your friends had never been captured, you'd still refuse to lend them a hand. Even IF it was the 'right thing to do."

Damn. When he goes off on a tangent like that, does he sound hot. But then his voice drops. To, an almost sad tone.

"Everyone has their price. I learned that a long time ago...and

you're no exception.

Felix then turned and walk away.

I frowned. Hmm. I don't have a price. Guess I'll have to show that to him somehow.

I'm currently standing in my room. My armored pants were off. But at the moment, I'd somehow managed to get the clasps of BOTH my arms, stuck to the back of each my shoulders. Then, when I'd tried to manuever them to a more easily reached position.

I somehow got a cord coming from my elbow hooked to the cod piece.

"Mother FUCKER!" I growl yanking my hands violently to try and unget myself stuck.

I hear a light knock and the door creaks open. "Everything alright in-(chuckles) Here?" I turn to see Felix. I blush wildly. I wasn't wearing pants. Only panties and my codpiece were on my legs. While my upper half was still armored.

"I uh. Yes?" I reply flustered.

Felix was wearing a pair of baggy camp cargo pants, socks, and a simple black tee shirt. I could see a sleeve of tattoos on his right arm.

"Liar. Here. I used to have the problem when I wore this type of armor too."

He moves up to stand in front of me. Hands deftly moving across my armor and unsinching certain areas that were hooked. I blush even wilder when he reaches down to my codpiece and unclips the strap that was hooked there.

The tips of his knuckles brushing against my tender inner thigh. Sending nervous shivers through me. Like I'd never experienced before.

With a snap all my armor fell to the floor around my feet. I squeaked out of surprise. But luckily I was still wearing my under suit. So my chest was covered.

Felix chuckles moving to stand closer to me. "How is it. You can go from being a badass super incredible soldier. To being a blushing, adorable, awkward mess?"

I frown. "I am not." I cross my arms. Unintentionally stomping my foot as well. He raises an eyebrow.

"You sure about that?"

"Yes! I am comp-"

I don't get a chance to reply as he grabs my face and brings my lips to his.

A small startled sound escapes me. Before I lean forwards and melt into the gesture. His lips moving brusquely with mine.

After a minute he pulls away. Looking down at me smugly.

My mind races for any idea what to do. But I don't have a moment as he leans down to whisper in my ear. "See ya around Sai." Punctuating the statement with a bite to my earlobe.

Then he's gone. And I'm left standing alone and flustered.
