Chapter 02
Everyone was sitting in the mess hall easting breakfast. or the schlock they called "breakfast".
Artorus sat down with his tray of food and joined the other marines. Everyone was talking and laughing and generally having a good time.
Artorus felt something tapping on his left shoulder and her turned around to see Pvt. Raul Salazar looking at him, he was making his usual odd little smile. He then opened his mouth and started talking. "I was talking some of the guys and the rumor is that you've got strength, is that true?" He asked.
"I guess you could say I'm pretty strong." He replied simply.
Salazar looked back at some of the other marines- Joel Haggert, the Medic, and Sean McKenzie, a regular soldier like Raul and Artorus- and they exchanged a glance between them.
Salazar then spoke up again. "Some of us was wonderin' if you'd arm wrestle old Charlie, here." He said, pointing at another marine.
Charlie was big, a large man of with a short military haircut. He was from some sort of Germanic ancestry. His expression suggested that he was eager for the challenge.
Artorus looked over at Swanson, who smiled reassuringly back at him, and then turned back to face Salazar and his buddies. "Alright, let's do it."

Rita was sitting next to Cathy; the two women were talking quietly with one another.
"I don't know, I just had strange feeling when he looked at me," She stated. "But it wasn't as if he was giving me a dirty look or anything like that, he just looked at me and I suddenly felt awkward being there, next him." She explained. "He's still part wolf, even if he isn't trying to frighten you, he's a predator and he is dangerous." Cathy replied. "There's a dangerous edge to him." She added. "If you asked me, I think he's a hunk." Inserted Pvt. Mia Frost as she sat down across from Rita. The two women looked at her in surprise as her comment. Frost was a cute, thin woman with dark brown hair (that came down in long curls) and tanned skin. She was supposed to part Greek. She was the team's assistant pilot and she worked closely with the senior pilot, Cpl. Hunter Redford.
"Are you serious, he's got fur all over his body." Cathy Replied, half in disbelief. Frost sighed and looked Cathy in the eyes. "What's wrong with that?" She asked impishly. "I bet it'd be really nice to have that fur touching my bare skin." She added in a sultry tone of voice.
"You really are weird, girl." Cathy replied in amazement.
Frost leaned forward and smiled devilishly. "Oh come on, aren't either of you just the slightest bit curious about it?" She asked. "And besides, he's probably a real animal in bed." She said with a smile.
"I'd rather pass on that thought." Cathy replied.
Frost frowned. "Suit yourself." She replied, and then leaned towards Rita and spoke in a low tone of voice directly to her. "What about you, you ever thought about what it would be like to sleep with him?" She asked the young marine mischievously.
The whole conversation between the two women had made Rita unbelievably nervous, so when Frost asked her the question, a blush spread across her face and she was forced to look down.
"Cut that out, Mia, you're making her nervous!" Cathy injected the exclamation into the conversation.
Frost backed off. "Alright then." She replied with a smile.
A few feet away, two of the other Marines were arguing over the lines of a song. One of the men stood up abruptly. It was Pvt. Goldman, the only Jewish marine in the group. He was a little on the short side and had dark curly hair and dark eyes and a slight tan. "That's not how the words go!" He exclaimed, stepping up onto the bench, the Star of David swinging around on the necklace around his neck. "It's not 'falling down the stairs', it's 'falling into despair'." He corrected. "It'll show you." He said before he began singing.
Some of the marines began hooting and hollering while some other began throwing paper cups at him.

Blake and Jaeger stood up and called the marines to attention.
"When you all get done eating, I want you all down in the briefing room for the lowdown on your assignment." He instructed. "And be prompt, no screwing around, I want to see all your smiling faces down there, ready and waiting."
And with that, Blake and Jaeger stood up and left the mess hall.

Artorus just managed to overpower Charlie and beat him. He slammed his hand down onto the table top. He leaned back.
"Well, I think I've answered your question." Artorus replied, giving a toothy grin and showing off his sharp teeth.
Salazar and the others were quiet as Harmon looked at his hand and didn't reply. Then, he stood up and looked at Artorus sternly, who didn't even flinch, and then, suddenly, he just started laughing and patted him on the back. "You're a mighty strong man, 'Mr. Wolf'." He spoke cheerfully. "I think I'm gonna like you." He said and walked off, rubbing his hand.
Salazar stood up and grinned at him. "You really are a Grade-A badass." He said as he left the mess hall. The others fallowing behind him.
Artorus leaned back and held up his hand and opened and closed his fingers a few times.
"Did you even strain your muscles at all?" Swanson asked him cleverly.
Artorus smiled and looked at him. "Well, maybe just a little." Artorus replied shamelessly.
Swanson laughed hard and got up to go put his tray away. "You're something else, alright." He remarked as he walked off.
~End of Chapter 2~
Well, I had fun writing this chapter. I think that I was able to better expand the personalities of the characters a lot more. I really thought that the part with Rita and Frost was pretty funny to write. Rita is pretty shy and Frost is so over the top that they just succeeded in creating a pretty entertaining scene. Thanks for reading, and please let me know what you all think of this story so far.
