A/N Thank you very much for the follows, favourite and my first review. All much appreciated.

I will try to get chapters out more quickly, but my charger broke on my laptop, but we're all fixed now. The song in this chapter is not from the 1940s. It's Unforgettable by Nat King Cole, but I'd like you to imagine it as Sia's version. I realise this isn't in keeping of the time period, but I like the song and thought it was quite fitting for the impression I want for Fin. I hope you like this chapter. I'm working on chapter 4 now which is going to have a more fun. I may change slight things in this chapter, as I'm not overly happy with some bits. Thank you.

Fin stood just inside the doorway of her new accommodation with Easy as Nix stood just in front introducing her.

"…Corporal Finney has four combat jumps under her belt already, therefore if you have any questions about what it's like; she's the one to ask. I'm sure she'll have a lot of advice and wisdom to pass on. Corporal Finney is also an outstanding medic, so combined with Doc Roe, Easy Company is in very good hands. You're all good men and I know you'll show the Corporal the respect she has earned, the Red Devils are keen to have her back, so let's show her why she needs to stay with us!" Nix addressed the room.

Nix had failed to mention any names of the men, but that didn't matter, the best way to get to know them would be for her to ask anyway. Fin scanned the room and not one of the men made eye contact with Nix; they were all staring at her. If their mouths were open any bigger, they'd all be catching flies. Fin didn't feel intimidated one bit, the Red Devils had reacted the same way on their first meeting. Looking at each of them in turn, she flashed them a friendly smile, but they still all stood there with the same expression, she wondered if they were listening to Nix at all.

"…Well men, I can see you're all eager to get to know your new medic, so I'll leave you all to get acquainted" Nix said with a smile.

Nix turned to Fin as he made his move to leave, casually telling the men "as they were". He stopped to the side of Fin and leaned in to whisper in her ear "Have fun!"

Nix stopped outside the door, but out of sight from any one inside, he decided to hang around to listen in.

Fin moved slowly, scanning for an empty cot, which happened to be the third one up, her trunk, was on the floor at the end of the cot. She smiled and walked over to it. There was still no sound from the lads; Fin could probably have heard a pin drop.

Ok, time for something drastic, Fin thought. She stopped by her cot and put one foot up on it, she then slowly drew up her skirt which caused some shocked gasps from the men; she continued to reveal a black leather holster containing a rather nasty looking knife which she drew out and placed on the bed. She then carefully lowered her skirt.

"That's one crazy ass knife!" one of the men exclaimed

And the silence was broken. Fin suddenly found herself surrounded with questions firing from all directions, perfect she thought.

Nix had poked his head back in when he heard the gasps and murmurs just in time to see Fin's stunt. She sure knew how to break the ice! He must see about getting her promoted and moved to the Officers quarters. Nix assumed she did it not to flash but to lay down an unspoken rule, 'don't try anything you'll regret, I'm one crazy bitch, with concealed weapons on my body!' Nix left, it was time for the pub.

"Well this broad aint shy! I'm Luz, George Luz, welcome to Easy"

"Thank you, call me Fin please"

"Is this the sort of thing to be expected from you? I'm Bill, Bill Guarnere, or Gonorrhoea, thought I'd get that in before someone else does!" Bill held out his hand.

"Expect the unexpected with me and in life for that matter" Fin replied taking Bill's handshake.

"I'm Sergeant Lipton, we've never shared with a female before, but I'm sure we can sort something to give you some privacy"

"Thank you Sergeant, but it's not necessary, we're all adults and it's something we'll all have to get used to, after all there is no privacy on the front line." Fin replied

"Well I think we can all look the other way at times, until we're all used to you" Lipton replied

"Yes Sergeant, I wouldn't want anyone to feel uncomfortable around me"

"You all hear that, no staring or peeking" Lipton ordered.

A host of groans replied which made Fin smirk.

"I'm Tab, Floyd Talbert, pleased to meet you" Tab said, practically tripping over himself and pushing Luz out of the way to get to Fin. "She looks like a Hollywood siren" Fin heard him whisper to Luz.

"Hi Tab, pleased to meet you too" and flashed him a Hollywood worthy smile.

"I would really like to hear about your jumps" Tab said

"Let's talk down the pub, come on we've got a pass, lets welcome Fin that way and by the way Fin, if you need anything, anything at all, I'm your man, I can do it!" Luz announced.

"Well, thank you Luz, in that case can you see about some decent tea and the Koh-i-Noor?" Fin teased, although she was serious about the tea.

"Yeah, no problem at all, I'll get onto it!" Luz replied, not actually knowing what a Koh-i-noor was but he'd ask around, it's probably some posh tea.

A laugh came from the back of the men.

"I'm Webster" A dark haired soldier said squeezing through. "I'll also be interested in the Koh-i-Noor Luz!" Webster said winking at Fin.

A few of the men obviously knew what they were talking about as well from their laughter.

"Hey, I'm Malarkey… yes slang for Bullshit!" Fin stifled a laugh. Malarkey continued pointing to the men "Liebgott, Martin, Toye and Bull"

"Really good to meet you all, I'll make sure I remember all your names" which would be no problem to Fin with her photographic memory. "I'm really honoured to join Easy, I heard you're the best"

"We sure are!" Malarkey agreed.

"It's good to have you on board, with your experience, we've got a hell of a head start!" Lip stated "Your time with us will be much better than your time with the Red Devils! Currahee!" Lip announced

"Currahee!" the men shouted.

Fin smiled, a big, genuine smile "I'm sure it will be" she said gently.

"Ok, ok, enough, it's getting mushy, we've got a pub to tear up, you will come, won't you Fin?" Liebgott asked.

"Of course, I wouldn't be British, if I wasn't always trying to get to a pub!"

"That a girl! Well let's get a move on, dibs on the first dance Fin! Luz winked at Fin.

The Elephant and Castle

So far, so good Fin thought as she walked arm in arm with Luz one side of her and Tab on the other side, she broke their hold as they entered the very crowded pub. Not one of them seemed to have an attitude like Sobel, but she'll get to know their personalities sooner than later. She did wonder if they were being so nice because they only thought she was a medic, which is much easier to swallow than her true purpose in the company. That reminded Fin that she should seek out Doc Roe, the other medic, hopefully he'll be here in the pub somewhere.

Tab found them a table to crowd round as it only had a few seats. Fin had drawn some attention from the other American soldiers in the pub, but the cat calling was minimal, probably due to her many body guards that she had now acquired. Hopefully, they wouldn't be this protective when they're at war, they needed to be looking after themselves and one another rather than her.

"Look gorgeous, I know there is some heated attraction between us already, but we have to resist for the sake of the men, therefore if I get chatting to some girl in here tonight, don't go getting all jealous on me now!" Tab joked.

"Kicking me to the curb already Tab?! I'm hurt!" Fin replied giving him a little nudge in the ribs with her elbow.

Fin looked around the pub, closing her eyes; she took in the sounds and smells. It felt really good to be back on British soil and doing something normal. She had almost forgotten what it was like back home, 11 months in France and she had started to forget. Even when the Red Devils returned to England for R&R, she wasn't granted the same pass. She had to stay; they were always finding a new mission for her. Fin always thought that they were trying to make her crack, how far could they push a woman? Well, she didn't crack and accepted the American's offer straight away without hesitation, anything to get home, even if it was only for a short while.

"Are you ok Doll?" Bill asked snapping Fin back into reality.

"Yes, it's just been a long time since I was in a pub" Fin smiled a sweet, heart-melting smile.

"What's your poison?" Bill asked gently

"What's yours?" Fin asked

"Whiskey"

"Whiskey it is then"

"That's my girl! We're going to have a good time!" Bill called as he made his way to the bar.

Nix, Winters and Speirs were all seated at a table in the far corner of the pub. Speirs had left his men to get drunk. He preferred to people watch, than to be watched.

Winters had noticed the Easy men and Fin walk in first. He observed Fin's obliviousness, or so he assumed her obliviousness to the attention she received walking through the sea of soldiers, but the Easy men had created some sort of protective circle round her and she look well protected indeed. He sighed in relief, they had accepted her. Still watching them, he drew concerned at Fin's almost trance like state. "Do you think she's ok?" Winters asked Nix and Speirs drawing their focus over to Fin.

Nix looked at Fin to see Bill Guarnere bring her back to reality "Yeah, she's fine, remember this is her first time home in nearly a year"

"Yes, of course, I think I'll keep an eye on her though, she may let loose too much" Winters replied concerned.

"I hear the Red Devils are hard drinkers, she'll probably drink Easy under the table" Speirs assured Winters.

"Speirs is right, you and her will be the only ones standing at the end of the night! But seen as though she's just pretty as a picture, I'll keep an eye on her too!" Nix teased.

Winters rolled his eyes and leant across the table to tap Nix's wedding ring.

"I said look, not touch!" Nix protested

Speirs smirked.

Malarkey and Bill lined up way more drinks than there were bodies.

Liebgott held up a glass of Whiskey "Let's make the most of our pass and welcome Fin properly, let's get drunk!" He announced.

"To Fin!" they all called.

Right on cue, Fin downed her Whiskey with them all. They handed her another and before Fin knew it, she had downed six glasses of Whiskey in a row. The men were whooping with joy at her. Too impressed with Fin's ability to keep up, the men didn't notice a group of Army Nurses enter the pub.

"Hey Cara!" Fin looked up to make out Nancy and Penny through her blurred vision.

"Hey girls!" Fin was impressed at her lack of slurring. She motioned the two nurses over to join them.

"Not only do we have a damn hot medic, but she seems to attract hotness too!" Luz exclaimed.

"You're welcome!" Fin winked at Luz.

"We need some slow music to get us in the mood! A slow dance with these broads would be real nice!"Tab said eyeing up Penny. Penny had noticed Tab too.

"Would you ladies care to dance with two of my lads?" Fin asked Nancy and Penny

"You betcha!" Nancy said

Fin turned to Tab "Go get her, the mood setting is on its way!" she said getting up from her chair and walking over to the live band. Tab watched as Fin spoke to the pianist. To his surprise the band stopped and brought out a microphone to which Fin positioned herself behind. Everyone in the pub had focussed their attention on Fin due to the band stopping. Thank God I'm half cut Fin thought.

The piano began the introduction to Fin's song choice.

Tab immediately grabbed Penny's hand and whisked her over to the dance floor, followed swiftly by Luz and Nancy. The floor filled with couples.

Nix, Winters and Speirs observed Fin with curiosity. Winters prayed she was good.

Fin began.

"Unforgettable, that's what you are

Unforgettable, both near or far

Like a song of love that clings to me

How the thought of you does things to me

Never before

Has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way

And forever more, that's how you'll stay

That's why darling it's incredible

That someone so unforgettable

Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Unforgettable in every way, oh, oh, oh

And forever more, that's how you'll stay

That's why darling it's incredible

That someone so unforgettable

Thinks that I am unforgettable too"

Fin's voice was beautiful and haunting. Bill and Toye immediately stopped. Webster closed his eyes and thought of his sweetheart. Malarkey grabbed the nearest girl and swayed against her on the dance floor. The Easy men were being serenaded and not one of them complained.

Fin opened her eyes to see that the song was going down well. From the crowd, she caught sight of a tall handsome lieutenant on the dance floor who was staring at her instead of directing his attention to his girl. Fin gave him a wink to tell him he had been caught and to re-direct that attention to his girl, but he didn't, instead his look intensified and a slight smile rose from his lips before finally averting his eyes to his girl.

Fin finished the song to a loud round of applause and standing ovation. Bill appeared in front of her and escorted her back to Easy's table.

"Well, aren't you just full of surprises! He said as he pulled out Fin's chair for her.

"I have plenty more surprises up my sleeve" Fin laughed.

"I don't doubt that!" Bill laughed back.

Returning to their table, Tab asked "Are you just the perfect woman?"

"Yes, in every way!" Fin teased "Where is Penny?"

"Powder break and thank you, think I'm definitely in there!"

"My pleasure!" Fin replied knocking back another Whiskey.

"Jeez girl! Do you have a death wish?" Luz said joining them with no Nancy, maybe she'd gone to the powder room as well.

"huh?" Fin answered

"Winking at Speirs!"

"Who is Speirs?"

"The scariest mother fucking soldier you'll ever meet" Luz said with a slightly serious tone.

"Oh him! I was trying to embarrass him into giving his attention to his girl rather than me" Fin explained.

"Well, you're in his sights now, your days are numbered girl!" Luz joked.

"Stop trying to scare her!" Buck nudged Luz

Fin wasn't scared though, more intrigued, why was he the scariest soldier she'll ever meet?

She was thinking too much and was starting to feel extremely light headed. "Right lads, I'm in need of some fresh air, I'll be back in a jiffy" The Easy boys acknowledged her and Fin made her way through the crowd to the door. Unfortunately, she didn't make it through without a few gropes of her bum, but she was too pissed to bother doing anything about it.

Outside the fresh air hit her like a brick wall and she quickly decided that maybe this wasn't the best idea after all as she stumbled to the side of the building and steadied herself against the wall. Fin observed how pleasant the early evening was, not too cold and very little breeze. How she longed to be home, to stay in Britain, to maybe be normal, whatever being normal was of course. Enlisted at 16, she'd only really had a normal childhood, her adulthood was far from normal.

"Impressive voice" Fin was snapped from her thoughts by a deep voice.

Fin turned her wobbly head to her right to see a tall figure step out of the darkness lighting a cigarette dangling from his lips. It was the lieutenant she had winked at on the dance floor.

"Thank you Sir" she replied with a slight slur.

"Cigarette?" he offered holding out a packet of Lucky Strikes.

"No thank you Sir, I don't smoke"

"Why not?"

"I'm pretty sure they kill you eventually…one day…maybe" Fin replied very drunkenly.

"And War doesn't kill you?" Lieutenant Speirs enquired

"Not me!" Fin quipped with a cheeky twinkle in her eye "Excuse me please Sir" Fin high tailed it back into the pub. Bloody hell he was sexy, any longer with him and she may have said something she'd regret.

Speirs was amused and intrigued. Normally he naturally intimidated others, but she didn't seem intimidated at all. It was a pity she left so quickly.

Fin quickly made her way back over to the men. "Hey Fin! Where have you been all my life?" Luz called.

"Waiting for you of course!" Fin called back.

"Well come here toots and make a guy happy!"

Fin walked over and gave Luz a peck on the cheek.

"Hey! I want some of that action!" Tab demanded "Sure know how to make a guy jealous!"

Fin walked over to Tab and gave him a peck on the cheek too.

"Are we going to hear any of your stories from overseas yet Fin?" Lip asked.

"Another night Lip, if that's ok? Fin asked she was too drunk to talk about her military experience; she needed a clear head to filter out anything she shouldn't be saying. Lip nodded in acceptance.

"Hey where are your nurses?" Fin asked turning to Tab and Luz.

"We lost them to the Officers" Tab said with an annoyed tone, directing Fin's gaze over to a table in the corner where Nix, Winters and that Lieutenant Speirs were seated.

"Speirs gets around, he was dancing with a different girl on the dance floor" Fin acknowledged, feeling weird that Penny had draped her arm around his neck.

"I heard he was dating some local English girl" Liebgott added joining the conversation.

"Obviously doesn't like to keep all his eggs in one basket" Fin laughed, joined by Liebgott, Luz and Tab.

As if Speirs had heard them talking about him, he looked up at the three Easy men and their pretty medic at that precise moment causing the four to avert their eyes and shove a drink down their necks. But, he hadn't heard them. His attention was drawn to Fin from what Nancy was saying from Nix's lap about the nasty scar Fin had at the top of her thigh. Nancy had noticed it when Fin dressed at the Nurse's quarters. Nancy had wondered what would cause such a scar, but didn't want to appear rude and ask. Winters looked to Nix for answers, but he was at a loss, there had been no mention of a serious thigh injury in her military record.
