Hey guys, sorry for the late update. I was just so caught up with things and then boredom took over me, which prevented me from writing. Anyways, enjoy.
P.S. there's a surprise.


"Pss... Axis. Wake up." Toad whispered to the body in the darkness. All he recieved was a grunt.

"Wake up!" He shook the body a little.

"Piss... off." she mumbled.

"That's no way to talk to your brother."

"I don't care. Let me sleep, dammit."

"Don't make me do it." he warned.

She stayed silent and dozed off again. She felt someone remove the covers and a pair of hands grab her leg. She was too lazy to even care about it. The person pulled her off the bed and onto the floor, to which she responded with a punch and a gasp.

"Fuck you, Chris." she spat, getting up.

"You wouldn't get up! It's already 1 in the afternoon." he smiled.

"What!?" she panicked and turned on the light. She glanced at the clock and gritted her teeth.

It was only 3 in the morning.

Toad laughed and bolted out of the room with Axis in pursuit.

"Toad I'm gonna kill you!" she yelled after him waking up the others as she passed by their rooms.

"What is wrong with you two?" Price shouted (Sorry, I forgot to mention him in the other chapters. ;P)

"Those two at it again?" Soap asked coming out of his room and yawning.

"I wanna sleep with my teddy." Roach mumbled.

"Baby." Ghost whispered to him. Roach just gave him a weak glare due to his tired and dizzy state.

Axis followed Toad into the cafeteria and pounced upon him. It resulted in both of them on top of a table with Axis on top. They were out of breath and their faces were so close that they could kiss any moment.

"So you're just gonna kiss me as a punishment?" Toad asked with a smirk.

"Heck no." She said with a disgusted face which was hidden by her mask. She raised her fist to punch him and tried too but failed as she was feeling too weak and tired. The others entered the cafeteria and eyed the pair. "Making out?" Meat asked.

She groaned and nuzzled her face into his neck. Toad held her and got off the table.

"Hence proved." Royce said proudly to Meat, fist bumping him. Archer's face held a look of jealousy.

"We were not making out you idiot." He said getting off the table. "I obviously won't make out with my sister."

At those words, everyone's mouths dropped open. "SHE'S YOUR SISTER!?"

"Cousin sister." He corrected.

"HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD US, MAN!?" Roach, Archer and a few others shouted.

Toad smirked "I thought you knew."

"No!" Hesh said.

"I hate you bro." Axis murmured quietly.

"Love you too sis." He whispered back to her.

He pushed pass the others and carried her to her room. He dropped her on the bed. Hard. She opened her eyes and kicked him in his groin. "Dude I'm 3 years older than you and your superior, show me some respect."

He chuckled and laid down beside her.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

He hugged her tightly and said, "I had a nightmare."

"Oh that nightmare shit again." she groaned and decided to hug him back.

"I swear to god if you snore-"

"I won't!" He cut her off.

"Yeah right." She grumbled.

Toad smiled and fell into a dreamless sleep.

*the following morning*

Toad shuffled and held the warmth closer.

"Some sibling love." someone mumbled.

Axis was literally on top of Toad with their fingers intertwined and a wide smile plastered on their faces. Toad's other hand was on her hip as she rested her head on his chest. Basically, they looked like a couple.

Someone decided to poke him in the ribs, a little. He let out a small grunt at the contact and blindly swatted the person's hand away.

Toad slowly fluttered his eyes open and yawned. He looked at the lump on top of him and smiled. He hadn't slept with her like this since... he started snoring. He glanced around the room and saw five people staring and grinning at him.

"What?" he asked in confusion.

Archer shook his head and pointed towards the lump on top of him. Toad blushed and pushed her off of him. Axis jerked awake at the sudden push and glared daggers at him. She frowned at the other people in the room and asked, "How did you get in?"

Kick and Hesh quickly pointed at the other three and shouted together ,"They told us your password!"

She glared at them too and mumbled incoherently "I should've changed the fuckin' password."

Silence fell over them as they stared at random things. After a while she asked again, "Where's Roach?"

Their eyes widened in realization. "I-I dunno..."

"Shit..."

*Meanwhile*

"Roach, you're dead." Ghost chuckled as he dragged him into the underground room created by them for emergencies.

They had kidnapped him early in the morning before anyone woke up. Their plan? A fake emergency. After the incident with Ghost, the Dare Devils were hungry for revenge. They had tied Roach and thrown him into the room till night. He kept screaming and squirming which only made their jobs tougher. But somehow, they managed to gag and tie him him.

"I'm gaawin' o fuuuuukin' iiiillll ya!" he screamed through the gags.

"Shut it bug." Worm said before closing the door.

"That'll show him."Chemo said rubbing his palms together.

They went over to Logan and Keegan who were playing with Riley.

"Showtime." Rocket announced mischievously smirking. Now all of them wore mischievous smirks.

They stopped right in front of the cafeteria for a while. Ghost, making sure no one was around, instructed, "Okay, so here it goes. We go in there, casually and act normal. Stick to the plan I told you. We'll kidnap her and keep her and Roach out of sight until they give up."

"Rodger that." All of them said in unison.

They entered the cafeteria all at once, trying to keep the smirk off their faces but were failing miserably. The others kept giving them weird looks. Especially the Pranksters.

"Something's wrong." Archer mumbled to Toad, who just nodded. Axis eyed them suspiciously.

They motioned her over to their table, which didn't go unnoticed by Captain Mactavish. She stood and headed over to their table but was held by him. He nodded to her as warning. She just smiled and nodded back.

As soon as she reached them Royce pulled out a flashbang and threw it in the middle of the room. Luckily the Dare Devils wore shades, who dragged a blinded Axis away.

"You're dead too." Ghost whispered to her. She recovered from the blindness and tried to free herself from their grip but it was too tight. She could hear the others screaming in the distance. She felt someone inject something into her. She sighed and closed her eyes as the screaming faded away.

Everything was black. No sounds, no movements, no nothing. Just pitch black. "What the fuck...?" I said trying to swim around in the void. "Yup, I'm dead."

There was a sudden bright light disabling me to see. I turned away to avoid it. The light faded and I was in a room. 'Wut?' was going on in my mind. I turned around and saw a girl sitting on the bed and a young boy lying in her lap. 'What is this?' I got a closer look at them and widened my eyes. The girl was me and the young boy was Toad.

I realized that it was a memory. I was born in India and I had come on a vacation to America. This was the day when I was revealed that Toad was my only cousin. And the surprise hit me like a slap to the face. I smiled and headed over to the two. My fingers were playing with the blonde locks of his hair and he just simply stared at me. I must have been around 13 at the time and Christian must have been around 10, I think. We were so young.

I was singing something. I kept getting closer and closer until I could hear them.

Wait a second, let me catch my breath

Remind me how it feels to hear your voice
Your lips are movin', I can't hear a thing
Livin' life as if we had a choice
Anywhere, anytime
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
Yesterday got away
Melodies stuck inside your head
A song in every breath

Sing me to sleep now
Sing me to sleep
Oh just sing me to sleep now
Sing me to sleep

The young me paused for a while and laid Chris properly in his bed. She smiled and patted his cheek before continuing.

Remember me now, time cannot erase
I can hear your whispers in my mind
I've become what you cannot embrace
Our memory will be my lullaby

Sing me to sleep now
Sing me to sleep
Oh just sing me to sleep now
Sing me to sleep

'That song...' A perfect song matching the situation. I remember. Suddenly someone said my name once, then twice and so on and there was ringing in my ears. My name and the ringing kept getting louder and louder until I couldn't bare it anymore. I held my ears and screamed until everything was pitch black again.

Roach's P.O.V.

I sat in a corner drawing on the floor with a stick. 'Guess no one's coming' I sighed. I had managed to cut open the ropes with a sharp rock half buried under the ground. Took a lot of energy. Currently my wrists hurt like hell. And it was really dark. The only light in the congested room was a dull bulb which kept blinking once in a while. This place stunk like crap

My head snapped towards the door at the sound of a lock clicking. The door opened revealing Ghost and the others and an unconscious Axis in his arms. He gently laid her down and stared at her face.

"You know you could have been that gentle with me." I told him.

He replied with a snort and exited the room with the others. I crawled over to Axis and poked her with the stick. She began humming some tune, then started mumbling the lyrics and finally started singing the whole song. I think she's dreaming. The bad side of me told me to scream her name whereas the good side told me to let her sleep and go back to drawing.

Unluckily, the bad side won.

I repeatedly said her name. "Axis, Axis, Axis." My voice kept getting louder after each word. She grimaced and started screaming and shouting 'stop'. She jerked awake and grabbed the closest thing to her, which happened to be a pebble and threw it at me. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!" She hissed. The pebble had hit me on the nose, which was already wounded.

"I hate you and your habit of throwing." I said quietly.

She just glared at me and got up. "So where are we?" She asked, placing her hands on her hips.

"In an underground room." I replied harshly.

She ignored me and tried to start a fire before asking, "You hungry?"

I nodded and admired her and her fiery red hair, which reached her knees. I wonder how she manages them.

After a while, she was successful in starting a fire. She looked around the room and saw a dirty, torn bag thrown across the room. She began searching it.

"The oxygen is already low over here and you're making me eat fire." I objected.

She scowled at me and pulled out some water, a pan and a packet of noodles. My expression must have been hideous at this moment. 'How did she know?'

She chuckled at my expression and placed the pan on the fire. "Y'know, whenever there's an emergency room there are always supplies somewhere." She just read my mind. I swear I could almost see that amused expression. 'Damn that mask'.

She poured the water into the pan and tried to open the packet. She tried to tear it open with her teeth but failed. "Need some help there?" I asked.

She just tossed it to me and said, "I know that you won't be able to-" She stopped mid-sentence as I opened the packet. Her shocked expression must have been hilarious. But because of that mask and that strand of hair... 'Fuck it'

She snatched the packet away from me and poured the noodles into the pan. The noodles looked like snakes. Snakes, snakes, snakes. Why snakes? I hate snakes. Fucking snakes. Snakes are bad. Snakey snakes.

"I could become a snake for you." she interrupted my train of thoughts. I was confused for a moment then realized that I had said those things out loud. I blushed in embarrassment and averted the gaze.

*meanwhile*

"Where is she!?" Toad shouted on top of his lungs at Archer. After the incident in the cafeteria, Toad had gone crazy. He kept shouting, screaming, tearing or breaking things. Everybody had a few tries to calm him down but all of them had failed. Right, now he was sitting in his room with Archer while the others were searching for her.

"Shh... calm down Toad. Everything's gonna be okay." Archer cooed, running a hand through his hair in an attempt to calm him down.

Toad scowled at him with red eyes. "I swear if anything happens t-" He was cut off by Archer who crashed his lips against his. He realized what he just did and closed his eyes. Toad was too shocked to react to what was happening. Archer broke off the kiss and held his shoulders. He looked him dead in the eyes and said, "Much better."

Toad blinked a few times. He pieced together all that happened and blushed. "Why'd you do it?"

Archer smiled and said, "'Cause I wanted to since the first time I met you."

He gave him a quick peck on the lips and exited the room. Toad just sat there bewildered and touched his lips once. 'Guess this day's not so bad' he thought.

He suddenly heard some voices talking. He got to the door and eavesdropped.

"You think those two can get out from that underground room?" A voice asked.

"I don't think so. Besides, who cares?" Another voice replied.

Toad felt his heartbeat quicken. He switched on his comms and said into the receiver, "Everybody report to my room ASAP."

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Luckily, Soap and Merrick had found the underground room. Everybody on the base was talking about it so it was a piece of cake for them.

"Do you have the keys?" Merrick asked him.

"No, but I have this." He pulled out an M9 and aimed at the lock. He shot it and kicked open the door. All he saw was Axis and Roach doing a 'tug of war' with noodles.

"What the hell?"
