Afghanistan Camp Bastian June 2012.
"Watch out, in coming" Some yelled.
Four female soldiers ran towards the bunker, a shell hits right behind them, and they hit the ground with a big humph.
Then darkness and then silence.
Normandy June of 1945.
"Flash" A voice called out
"Ouch, what the hell! thunder" a female voice said
The private, who had called out flash, were surprised by the very feminine voice that answered him, he got even more surprised, when four soldiers, dressed in very strange uniforms walked out from the bushes.
The four weren't wearing any helmets and they were only armed with side arms. The private noticed that the four of them, all were wearing captain or second lieutenants bars, so should he shoot them or salute them, he decided on the later.
One of the lieutenants let out a breath, when she saw the private lower his weapon, she had realized that the explosion in the Danish camp had either killed them or opened some kind of time portal, sending back to the place they had always talked about if time travel was possible.
"What's your name private?" one of the lieutenants asked
"Frank Perconte" The private said
"What outfit are you with?" The same Lieutenant asked, even though she and the other three girls already knew the answer.
"Easy company, 506th, 101st" Frank said
The four girls had all attended West Point; they had studied Easy company like a religion and now they knew they would get to meet a hero of theirs, Richard Winters.
One of the Captains, who was currently carrying a lieutenant, who was moaning out in pain said "Private I am captain Dana Grey, the blonde over there is Captain Emma Hunter, this one my shoulder is Charlotte "Charlie" Kahne lieutenant in the united states airborne
infantry, and the brooding one over there, is Camilla Hamlin lieutenant" She said.
Perconte just nodded, not knowing what to say.
"So private, how about we find your rendezvous point, so our medic can get a look at lieutenant Kahne," Dana said
The group started to move out. On the way; they met up with some men from Dog Company, who was surprised to see Frank Perconte walking around in Normandy with a group of girls.
Walking towards the Rendezvous point the group came across a German platoon or what was left of it.
Emma was in the lead, she was a captain and decided to lead, the guys were still dazed and confused from the drop, just let her.
Dana, who was still carrying Charlie, was in the middle and Camilla was bringing up the rear.
The group huddle together "Ok so Kabul night maneuver, Perconte take Charlie into the bushes and stay with her" Emma said.
The girls nodded and each of them took two men with them, sneaking around the Germans, they had the platoon took out the platoon, and without losing any of the men
Late morning, Rendezvous point near Bret court manor.
Walking down the road with four girls, Perconte turned some heads. On their way to meet up with the rest of the company, the group walked by a dark haired lieutenant, he ordered the men from Dog Company to go to their meeting point yelling at them for being late.
Dana stopped and looked at the lieutenant, she blincked twice and let out a small moan, the lieutenant turned and looked at her and gave her a small smile.
They walked down the road and found Easy Company, Perconte was welcomed and the men were curious about where he picked up the girls.
"Hey you know where Winters are and where is the aid station?" Frank asked
"Yeah, the aid station is in the barn and Winters are over there with Buck and Welsh" Liebgott said and turned around and joked around with some of the other guys.
Dana walked over to the aid station and dropped of Charlie on a cot, Camilla who was the medic took over and looked Charlie over.
Dana and Emma followed Perconte over to where the officers sat and waited for orders "Sir I got someone who you should talk to" Perconte said and when Winters turned around and saw the girl stand there, in their strange uniforms.
Winters studied the two women and could not help but thought that the blonde was quite attractive and the brunette next to her would definitely be trouble.
"so who are you? and where are you from?" he asked wishing Nixon was there, being the intelligence officer he should be there, to conduct the interrogation.
"Captain Hunter and Captain Grey, US Airborne, 506th, 101st" Emma answered
To Winters knowledge, they didn't have any women in the company and not someone in uniforms like that.
"That can't be, this is the 506th and there are no women in 506th to my knowledge" Winters said
Emma glanced over at Dana and then looked at Winters "Can I talk to you outside lieutenant?" Emma said
Winters knew he had to hear whatever she had to say, Winters led her outside keeping a hand on the small of her back, he couldn't help himself,
Emma noticed Winters hand on her and she felt a shiver running down her spine.
"Look lieutenant, this is going to sound strange, but we are a part of the 506th just 67 years into the future, look here is my id card, dog tags and this is a cell phone and look at my side arm" Emma said.
Winters looked it over and he couldn't explain how the girls had shown up, but time travel, that was to far fetch.
"Look, I can see you don't believe me, in about 10 min, they are going to want Easy commanding officer up front, that's you, because Meehan is dead, his plane crashed, they are going to ask you to take out the 88 we can hear, except its 105 instead, before you take out the last gun the lieutenant from Dog is going to come running getting one of his men shot, because he runs out of the trenches" Emma said
Winters looked at her with doubt in his eyes, yeah he would see that before he believed it, before he could finish the thought, a runner from regiment came running telling Winters they wanted the commander of Easy at regiment.
Winters looked at Emma, she just stared at Winters "well since Meehan isn't here, doesn't that leave you next in line" she smiled at him.
Winters and Emma walked up to were regiment was gathered "Lieutenant Winters, and who the hell are you" Colonel said.
"Captain Emma Hunter, Sir" Emma said.
"Well, I have to deal with you later, Dick there is a four gun battery holding up the invasion, its located over by the manor, I need Easy to take them, the boys are stuck on the sand until it's done" Colonel said.
"Yes sir" Winters said and turned around and walked out to find Easy company.
Dana followed Emma over to Easy and listened to Winters give the men their orders, he ordered them to only bring ammunition and leave everything else. Dana and Emma decided to tag along, to witness one of the great strategies from their lessons from West Point.
"You two hang back" Winters said when they moved out.
At the Aid station.
"Looks like you broke a rib and you have a ricochet in your behind" Camilla said with a chuckle.
Charlie moaned "Well hurts like a son of bitch" She said
"Well you are better off than some of the guys here, so get up so I can bandage you" Camilla said.
Camilla bandaged Charlie and sends her on her way, she helped the other medics treat the wounded. Since the female medic handed out orders with a form of authority and knowledge the men never experinced , that they didn't ask any questions.
Charlie was wandering outside, trying to find out what she had to do, she stumbled upon the regiment headquarter. She was an intelligence officer back in her company and when she realized she was listening to Hester and Lewis Nixon, she stopped and froze.
This was the Lewis Nixon, a man she had admired, even though he was depictured as a drunk in most litterateur, Charlie knew better, the man had been brilliant.
Nixon turned his head and looked straight at the brunette who was staring at him, she was wearing a strange uniform and she looked a little pale.
Then he noticed she had hard time breathing, he hurried over and grabbed her arm and sat her down.
"Thanks" Charlie said and leaned forward trying to catch her breath.
"Hey Nix, I will be right back" Hester said and walked away.
"Are you ok?" Nixon asked
"Yeah, I just hurt myself during the drop or whatever" Charlie said
"You need a medic" Nixon asked
"No, just saw one, but maybe you would like to share some of the stuff from your canteen" Charlie asked a smirk
Nixon laughed and handed Charlie the canteen with Vat 69 in it, Charlie took a drink and handed it back, to Nixon.
Nixon sat down in front of her "So who are you" he asked
"Lieutenant Charlie Kahne, regiment S2" Charlie said
"How did you get here?" Nixon asked
"Hell if I know" Charlie said
"Ok, we have to get to the bottom of this" Nixon said
"Well ok, the others are at the aid station or with Winters" Charlie said
"There are more of you?" Nixon asked
"Yeah, there are four of us" Charlie said.
Nixon ran his hand through his hair and put his helmet back on, and stalked off to find Sink, to get an explanation.
Charlie decided to stay where she was, she closed her eyes and she fell asleep, she woke up when she heard the other girls sit down next to her.
Dana and Emma went on and on about how they helped in the attack on the guns and how Speirs had taken the last gun almost alone.
Dana sighed, she had always thought he was a fine man, when she was studying Easy at the Point, but seeing him in person, damn.
The girls followed Easy to Culoville where Strayer had set up CP
Regimental HQ
" I am telling you the truth" she had explained how they ended up there over and over again, she even told them things the girls had no way of knowing if they hadn't been reading about them in history books, Emma even tried to tell them what was going on at the beach in that very moment.
Sink got on the horn and got a hold of the commanders at the beach, he went silent when he realized Emma had been telling the truth.
Sink looked around "no one breathes a word about this, and you girls, well since you are in the army I a sign you to Easy, I know you two are Captains, but Dick is still in charge he knows the men understood" Sink said
"Yes sir" They said
"Now Nixon and Winters, they are your responsibility and get them some M42 and weapons, except you, you are hereby in charge of the medic's lieutenant Hamlin, now get" Sink said.
The six officers walked out and Emma and Dana let out a sigh, good thing they hadn't been kicked out or court martial, where they would have gone.
Nixon walked of and came back a few minutes later with some uniforms, weapons and everything else they would need to be soldiers in 1945.
The girls walked behind a truck to change, they had to give Nixon that he had a good eye, the uniforms were perfect.
When the girls were done, Winters motioned for them to follow him, it was time for them to meet the men of Easy company.
"So I want you to meet the men, but first your assignments, Captain Hunter you and lieutenant Kahne, will be with first platoon, as platoon leaders, Captain Grey you are with third with Compton and lieutenant you are in charge of the medics, but when third platoon goes on missions you go with them" Winters said and the girls agreed.
"ok… let's go meet your men" Winters said.
The men had settled down in Culoville, Winters took the girls over to the house, the men was staying in. Winters knocked on a door and the company first sergeant opened the door "Lieutenant sir, what can I do for you?" Lipton asked
"Well Lipton, I am here with some, well in lack of a better term replacement officers" Winters said.
Lipton let the group and when third platoon turned, they saw Winters standing at the door with four women, he claimed was the new officers.
