War stories
Helena's P.O.V
I sigh as Kat, Alex and myself enter the limo and begin the drive back home. "Well that was pointless." Alex was pretending to be my bodyguard while the two of us are in public. He doesn't mind it but he does complain about not carrying any of his sentinel corps weapons. While he is in public with me he uses a pistol like mine. "Miss Douglas I'm afraid there is a traffic jam and it looks like it will take a few hours." The driver said through the speaker. Kat was smiling. "Hey Alex doesn't this remind you of the time we were stuck in that dropship?" He smile wrapped his arm around me. "No that was very unpleasant unlike this." I give him a confused look. He sighs. "OK, Kat and I had just completed a mission. It was a simple babysitting opp just watch the scientists and wait for the troops. So when the dropship got there to pick us up we were so bored." Kat then cut in. "And You wanted to head straight for the VR chamber." Alex sighed again. "Hey I needed to blow off some steam because those egg heads were driving me up the wall. I mean seriously if that dropship had been a few more hours I would have killed some of them." I giggle at the way he just said that. "So after the dropship picked us up we were the only ones in the back of the ship. So it normally took about one hour to get back to base . Well after a half hour we heard some bad noises from the engines and then before we knew it they were fried." "So how long were the two of you stuck in there?" Kat smiled. "About five hours." "So what did you do to pass the time?" Alex was laughing. "Believe it or not we had a five hour long starring contest." I started laughing. "Really?" He nods and then kisses my neck. "Ah." I say in surprise "Well well well you have a soft spot on you're neck. I'll have to remember that spot." I look in the widow to see that my cheeks are a deep red. Oh that felt strange good but strange. And I can see Kat trying to hold in a laugh. "Well that killed about two minutes. Any other stories?" Alex nods his head. Kat then opens her mouth. "Hey Alex did you ever tell her how you and raptor met?" Alex think for a moment. "No I don't think I have. Well Helena do you remember why each sentinel has a cyber-organic pet?" I think for a second. "Isn't it to teach you the value of loyalty?" "Yes in a way. So during our training we have to pick a pet. We are given a wide choice to pick from but they creature had to also pick you. You know the rest of my squad Clinton aka ghost picked a wolf. Luke aka revenant picked a big scorpion. His sister Lilly aka spectre picked a tiger. Sarah aka slicer picked a big spider. And Kat picked a anaconda. As for me I looked and looked but nothing wanted to pair up with me. So late that night I left I thought if none of the tamed creatures wanted to join me then I would have to find a wild one that would. I spent the night looking until a heard a tiny call. Naturally I went to see where it was coming from and there in a little grove a small raptor with two adult raptors dead in front of it and a bigger one looking to eat it. It was like something inside me snapped so I leaped into action acting the big raptor with my war blades. After it was over the little raptor came up to me and it was like we were meant to be friends. When I tried to name him I came up with a lot of names like lightning, razor, stuff like that but all he would answer to is raptor. So that's what I called him." Then Kat added. "Yeah you should have seen the pair of them walking in the base it was awesome." Alex sighed again. "It took a while but after a lot of training we became a great team taking down alien creatures so big and strong some I still have as a few keepsakes." I stare at him. "So they're hunting trophies ?" He nods. "Basically." Kat laughs. "What is so funny Kat?" See looks at me. "Helena what Alex and raptor hunt are some of the biggest meanest monsters in the galaxy. The two of them have brought things back bigger then the tallest Doatec building." I can't even picture what these things could look like. Alex kisses me on the cheek to snap me out of my train of thought. "Don't worry about it Helena." Kat shakes her head. "Well I think we've killed about five minutes so far." I look out the window and see all the cars. "So anyone have a deck of cards?" Kat asked but I shake my head. I don't usually play cards. I have played on a few occasions but not that many times. So I don't keep a deck with me. "Hey Alex does Helena know about that slavery ring you single handedly took down." That got my full attention. "Oh Kat is there a time when you won't bring that up?" "Nope because it's one of the best missions in corps history!" Now I want to hear it. Alex sighs. "OK it was about five years ago. I heard rumors of a slave ring taking young girls and using them for … well let's just say after hearing about it I had to stop it so I found a way to board their ship and what I found was unbelievable. The slavers had no morals what so ever. I could barely contain my rage at what I was seeing them put their slaves through but I was able get a hold of my self and I came up with a plan." As I listened to Alex tell how he found a way to free the slaves I was caught in awe as Kat adds things here and there. "So after I set the alarm off the whole crew came in stop me they thought if they could kill me they would be able to do as they pleased so they charged at me and the few that survived the first charge didn't last long soon it was down to the leader and me the fight lasted hours we fought from the bridge to the engine room. We fought blade to blade now he thought he had the upper hand and got cocky so as what he thought would be a fatal blow he didn't see my right arm with my blades out come from the side and cut his head clean off. I could swear I saw surprise in his eyes." Kat then cut in. "Alex them called the in to evacuate the slaves. When I got on the ship the smiles on the girls faces were so big that I thought their faces would break." I pull Alex into a kiss and we start making out right there. "Um should I step out for a minute ?" Kat trying to make a joke but I didn't really pay much attention because Alex was holding me. Oh I wish that we could be together right now but I don't want to rush him. I held on to my virginity this long I can wait. Alex breaks us a part because I was too into the kiss to come up for air. I only hope I didn't whimper as he stop. "Helena that was um ..wow." I can see his cheeks turning red. Kat finally lost it and started laughing. Alex gave her a look and she stop immediately. "Smart move." Alex said darkly. Kat turned to me. "Hey Helena does this limo have anything in it?" Then it hit me. "Well it does have a TV with movie theater quality and a ton of movies for it." Kat smiled. "Well why don't we watch a film while we're stuck in here. Or we could turn some music on." I look outside and looks like we're going to be in here for longer then we thought. "OK anyone have any ideas toward a movie?" Kat shrugged. "I'm good with anything at this point. What about you Alex?" "Same really although I would prefer something funny." I look through the movies until I find a film that should be funny.
After they get home
"Well that was fun." Alex was helping me out of the limo and he pulled me into a kiss. Kat sighed "Ok could the two of you get a room before you get busy in public?" Alex and I both start blushing. "Well let's just get inside." Kat giggled. "right behind you boss."
