A/N: while i still have many ideas for chapters, you'll probably see a chapter every few days. If i run out, then these will take longer to make. anyways, enjoy the story. also the format for these chapters will be that the beginning is a sort of recap on what happened at the end of last chapter, and then it will go from there. also made up backstory cuz y not

Another knock, still no answer. At that point, Glaz was starting to lose hope on trying to talk to Kapkan for the day. He knew that Kapkan was stubborn, and would probably stand by his words and actions for the rest of the day, and only until the next day would he have cooled down a bit.

"Still no luck," commented Glaz to one of his russian friends, Fuze.

"I' know that man well," said Fuze, "I'm sure he'll have calmed down by tomorrow,"

"How dumb is this shit," said Glaz, "we bring up the fact that he probably needs a girlfriend and now he just shuts us all out,"

Fuze shrugged.

"Maybe it isn't a good topic to bring up," said Fuze, "I know that man well but much of his past is still a mystery to me,"

While Glaz and Fuze stood there, they saw Thatcher running up the stairs. A mission was announced and being the oldest, Rainbow decided it was a good idea to assign the oldest operator to call the others.

"You know where Maxim is?" asked Thatcher to the two russians.

"He's in here," said Glaz, motioning to the closed door, "locked though,"
Thatcher just pushed past him and started knocking on the door furiously.

"Maxim," said Thatcher, "new mission, and you've been assigned,"

Kapkan opened the door a few seconds later.

"I'll be down in five," was all the russian said.

With more operators to call, Thatcher quickly jogged his way down the hallway, looking for two germans, IQ and Blitz.

IQ's room was the closest, but when he got there the door was slightly ajar. He opened it up to find it empty.

"Monika? You here?" asked Thatcher.

No response.

IQ wasn't in her room, and everything was quiet. The next room down, however, was Blitz's. Thatcher proceeded to rapidly knock on Blitz's door, but no response. He did have an idea of what was happening, and put his ear to the door. What he heard made him freeze for a second.

"Elias! Monika!" called Thatcher loudly, "I know what you're doing in there! Get down to the briefing area in five minutes! Both of you!"
Thatcher knew that the two were in an intimate relationship, but never would've thought they would be at it this early in the morning.

A few moments later, the door opened to Blitz peeking his head out.

"Yeah yeah," said Blitz, "be down in five,"
Thatcher quickly left, trying not to stay in the presence of the german for too long, for risk of smelling like sex for the rest of the day. But with the two germans accounted for, there were two operators left to call. Continuing down the hall, he came across Thermite's room. Before even knocking, he heard his voice from inside his room.

"Yeah, be down in five minutes," was all he said.

And the last operator that needed to be called was Frost. Thatcher looked at his clipboard. He had seen what went down that morning, and thought it odd that Six would assign her and Kapkan for the same mission.

Probably just coincidence thought Thatcher.

Frost's room was at the end of the hallway, kind of in the corner. Thatcher was about to knock on the door when he saw a note taped to it.

No need to remind me old man, I'm already down there

With all operators accounted for, Thatcher could return to his daily activities.

"This will be a quick mission," said Six, "though be careful. It's a large complex, and we don't know exactly how many there are. Use your maps, and you'll be successful today..."

Kapkan wasn't exactly listening. The only thing he could think of was why he was assigned to the same squad as Frost was.

They give me so much shit and now she's assigned to my squad? thought Kapkan.

"...that's all for now, and good luck,"

Six had finished her briefing and the operators moved to gear up. Kapkan moved to his locker, and quickly inspected his equipment. His 9x19VSN submachine gun was cleaned the night before, and his EDD's were functioning as normal. Putting on his uniform, he looked around to the other operators gearing up. There was the pair of germans, IQ and Blitz. There was the american, Thermite, and then the canadian, Frost. Looking at the composition, Kapkan could figure out how this mission was going to work.

Six popped his head into the room.

"Be ready," he said, "helicopter takes up in about five minutes,"
And he left.

Within the five minutes, all of the operators had geared up, and were ready to go. All five boarded the helicopter, which then transported them to about two miles out from the terrorist base. Far enough out to not get seen, but close enough to where proper hiking gear wouldn't be needed.

In the helicopter, the american, Thermite reviewed the plan.

"Elias, you take point. Monika will be behind you and scanning the place with her electronics detector," said Thermite.

Everyone nodded.

"I'll be in support in case we come across any reinforced walls. Us three will spearhead down the middle'' said Thermite, "and Maxim and Tina will clear out the flanks. I've marked a point on the map and that's where we'll rendezvous,"

With the plan clear in everybody's minds, they were ready for insertion.

"ETA about two minutes everyone," said the pilot through the radio.

Soon everyone was on the ground.

"Gear check," said Thermite.

Everyone double checked all their gear to make sure everything was in working order. With their gear ready, everyone gave Thermite the thumbs up.

"Alright let's get moving" said Thermite.

The five moved as quickly as they could toward the base. They were entering some heavy forest, and could only see the terrorist base from about a mile out. As Six had said, it was a very large complex. It wasn't all that tall, but even from the forest, it was clear how long and wide it was. The five took out their maps to see where they were.

"Directly head on," commented Blitz, "just like the plan said."
"Don't doubt Six," said Thermite, "his plans are always right,"

There were a few guards on the outside. IQ had her AUG with her, fitted with an ACOG and supressor.

"Monika," said Thermite, "take them out."

Without replying, IQ made quick work of the terrorists guarding the outside, with four bullets to the head.

"Targets down," reported IQ.

"Alright, let's move," said Thermite.

As planned, Blitz took point, with IQ following closely behind, electronics detector activated. Thermite followed closely, ready to give fire support. Kapkan and Frost fanned out, entering through side windows.

The three came to the front entrance, only to find it reinforced.

"I've got it," said Thermite, as he opened his backpack to take out a thermite charge. He set it live, stepped back, and activated it with his remote detonator. The thermite cut through the metal reinforcement like a hot knife through butter, and within seconds, the wall was blown out.

"Enemy contact!" called Blitz, as he raised his shield.

The AK-47's of the terrorists did little to the german's flash shield, but the reply was a spray from Thermite's 556XI assault rifle.

"Two tangos down," reported Thermite.

"There's a nitro cell on the first doorway in," said IQ.

With her high velocity P12 pistol, she lined the nitro cell up with the help of her electronics detector and disable the nitro cell through the wall.

"Nitro cell deactivated." said IQ.

The three made their way through the main entrance, clearing the side rooms, though encountering little resistance. Eventually, they came to a large room. At first it appeared empty, but there were bulletproof shields set up around the room, as well as barbed wire.

"Careful through this room," said Thermite.

"No electronics detected," reported IQ.

Suddenly, many terrorists popped up from behind the bulletproof shields and started spraying wildly with their AK-47's. Many of the shots were absorbed by Blitz's flash shield, but even his shield, as tough as it was, would break eventually under concentrated fire.

"Fall back!" ordered Thermite.

The three fell back a bit, to give Thermite enough time to pull out a flashbang.

"Flash out!" shouted Thermite as he threw the flashbang around the corner.

The white flash could be seen, and the three proceeded to breach the room while the terrorists were blinded.

Blitz ran in first, hopped over a bulletproof shield, and brought his shield down on a terrorist. They screamed in pain, but it was abruptly cut off as Blitz brought it down again, ending the man's life.

"Clear!" reported Blitz.

Meanwhile, Thermite had rushed another bulletproof shield. He sprayed his 556XI blindly in, and heard the sound of bullet meeting flesh. A gargled scream, but nothing more.

"Clear!" reported Thermite.

While the two were clearing out their positions, IQ had jumped over a bulletproof shield to find two terrorists. The first she smacked in the head with the butt of her pistol, and planted a bullet into the head of the other. She finished off the dazed terrorist with another bullet to the head.

"Clear!" reported IQ.

With the room cleared, the three found themselves at the rendezvous point. The three had to wait for the other two, for they were going to breach the last, and largest room, with five people.

"Maxim and Tina aren't here yet?" asked Blitz.

"Nope," replied Thermite, "we have to wait for them,"

Being a hunter and trapper, Kapkan was in his natural habitat. Not making a noise, he silently cleared out room after room. There was an occasional terrorist hiding, but his stealth kept him hidden until he popped out and killed the unfortunate terrorist who thought he was going to slip under the radar by sitting in a corner all day.

Between rooms, he would check his map, to make sure he was going the right way. He could hear the distant firefight going on, and by the sounds of the weapons being fired, knew that his team was pushing their way through.

A brief firefight broke out between Kapkan and a group of terrorists, but Kapkan made quick work of them with his 9x19VSN. Now that the terrorists knew he was there, he decided to hunker down for a bit in the room. He set up EDD's on the doorways and waited, holding the angle he expected the terrorists to come from. He could hear a faint beeping that was getting louder, and he knew immediately what it was. Suicide bomber. As the bomber ran through the doorway, Kapkan's EDD triggered, and even through the thick protection of the vest, killed the terrorist.

"Take that you motherfucker," said Kapkan under his breath.

A few more terrorists ran in, but Kapkan sprayed them down. Confident that there would be no more coming, he continued, and eliminated a few stragglers. He was nearing the rendezvous point when he was ambushed. A terrorist came up quickly behind him with a knife, and was about to stab Kapkan when he heard him and quickly turned around. He saw the terrorist running toward him, and was too close to fire his gun. Instead, he raised his gun and hit the terrorist on the hand. It was a heavy weapon, and the terrorist dropped the knife in agony. Delivering a kick to the stomach, the terrorist dropped to the ground, stunned. A quick step on the neck and he was dead.

As he rounded the corner, he saw three of his teammates waiting there.

"Tina not here yet?" asked Maxim.

"Nope," replied Thermite.

"Weird," commented IQ, "usually, she's quick and efficient. She should've been here before us,"
Suddenly, the four had a feeling that she wasn't going to be coming anytime soon.

END CHAPTER 2
