Shadows of war ch 4
A/N: I don't own gunslinger girl only my ocs.
As the skies lightened over the training field of the SWA all that was heard was the controlled suppressed bursts of ump-40s and sniper rifles as Rich and Taylor were training with triela and Henrietta along with rico and her handler and even though only the girls knew they liked each other they weren't officially dating. During the training raid Rich felt a stinging pain and realized to his and the girls' horror, he had been hit and jean wasn't about to stop the exercise for a wounded man and as the training raid wound down Katy started to patch up his arm and asked if he knew who shot him.
"Give you two fucking guesses" he said as he was stitched up just as would happen during combat and then was sent to the doctor with a teary-eyed rico and shocked Etta and triela in tow. After he was patched up and was discharged back to his dorm he bumped into jean and told him
"What the fuck I know you shot me" he nearly screamed and then as he settled down he said under his breath "its rico isn't it?" and the look on jeans face said it all. Katy had seen it all as well as heard it and said
"to you she is a tool but to him she is the love of his life so deal with it for both of them ok?" Later that night Rich couldn't sleep and he snuck out to see the girls namely a blonde haired bombshell and after he quietly knocked on her door she opened and kissed him as he asked her if she wanted to go out to the training field before the mission and as she said excitedly
"YES' he was met with Triela snickering before she remarked, pissing him off,
"Now you two lovebirds play nice" and he was happy of rico's response of "yes mom". As meteors streaked overhead he quickly kissed Rico and asked what she thought about them dating for real and not in secret. After she said yes to it he revealed that they had to destroy a FRF/RFB stronghold and looking in her eyes he said
"I plan on keeping you all safe and I'll take no prisoners if that's what it takes" right before she kissed him teary-eyed and then fell asleep.
Humming she's my kind of crazy by Brantley gilbert and then maroon 5 she will be loved which he sang to rico as he had carried her into her room after jean saw and in a very rare gesture smiled and said that he had a choice cause there were to outposts he could snipe then breach or vice versa. He accepted the chance to be near rico using a 110 as she used her classic dragunov they saw a man in black join them eating a small packet of noodles before he was introduced by Rich with the words of
"Well this mine and Chris' older brother David. He is an excellent marksman and will most likely be a raider". At 6'2 he was a hardened veteran of numerous wars and raids so to him it was just a walk in the park and his hardened features caught claes' eye but to the others he was a crazy scary son of a bitch. That fact was stated ten-fold when after a sniper shot his ramen he tried skinning the guy alive as revenge but that had been before the raid so he was only on his second raid after that and lived in a secluded villa on the beachfront of Sicily. Watching as the girls and his brother tossed in flash bangs and 9-bangers David and Chris both saw a rocket team aimed at their brother and at Etta and triela. Barking over the radio
"get down now RPG!" Richard started firing at the rocketeers with his 417 trying to get their heads down the flash and explosion made him think he'd lost his brother. Through tear stained eyes he started unloading all his mag not caring when Jean and rico yelled, his anger and desire for revenge making him think he was invulnerable
"stay down or you could get hurt" and that's when jean said
"I know rico loves you so don't die for her" followed by an automatic weapons burst as David had spilled his ramen in the blast and was none too happy about it. After etta and triela came out of the raid with intel and claes tried earning David's love but realizing that the ramen thing was a quirk she would get through. As Richard geared up for his turn with David on a tac-50 rifle for he thought overkill was underrated he started getting teased by triela about leaving his girlfriend behind. As he admitted it was hard jean came over the earpiece and told him
"don't worry I know you'll do fine" as daves 50 barked and caused a terrorist lookouts head to explode and that signaled the game was on as he kicked in the door as triela and etta who had both teased him and kept him close so
"he would be home to his girl in one piece" they systematically cleared the house with Beatrice who afterwards revealed they hit the mother lode as he lowered the last guard who's neck was broken in a struggle with triela. As they all opened a hidden stairwell he saw that etta was bleeding from a cut on the arm he started to patch it up and then they saw military weapons and they were the same type being used by terrorist and anarchist in both Europe and Asia so they decided to blow them sky high and even burn the drugs that the RFB used to make money with when bank robbery and the like including guns which explained those and as triela searched for more she found a few girls who had been smuggled in and they were freed by triela who decided any perps still alive would be tortured or killed only keeping a few alive to get intel on terror plots in Italy and roanapur and other Asian and even American targets. As they returned back home triela mumbled as she popped anti-depressants and meds for nerves that etta and rico had both taken earlier
"Damnit that never gets any easier" as Rico and etta got dressed up to go out with Richard and etta was going with Jose for a late birthday meal not realizing it may be the last time they had a peaceful night to themselves as rico and Richard shared long kiss and Italian dinner by candlelight as Chris grabbed a bottle of rotgut and headed toward Petra's room.
A/N: well this chapter was a good introduction for my recent OC loosely based on my big brother. The other stories will be added next and I may start strike witches 1991 if you all want
