A/N: Bleh... I feel like crap. So guys... you probs already saw but I published a story called Roach and Ghost Oneshot Collection. That's Roach/Ghost slash... Personally, I think it sucked, but people have different opinions so... yea. I mean, it was somewhat fluffy but not very much. But you should totally go R&R because it's only got 2 reviews so far. please! Please! PLEASE!

Btw- Luke left Mark back in Vermont to watch the house. Plus, Mark was busy anyways, but he'll probably be back sometime later. No promises though...

*MyLittleRobin is my muse!*

Two Days Later...

The Ghosts and captains of the 141 sat in the rec room, waiting for Luke to arrive. Toad and Archer were with Ghost in the infirmary. Ghost was on sedatives right now, but those two still wanted to stay with him.

"Soap... do you really think he's gonna bring him? What if it's a trick?" Merrick asked apprehensively.

"I already told you guys, if he's fooling around then I'll torture him to death." He sighed, twirling his combat knife in his hands.

"Well yeah... but what if he blows up the fucking base?" Logan asked, his eyes growing wide.

"He's not gonna-"

He stopped when he heard what he quickly identified as helicopter rotors. He grabbed his P226 off the table next to him and stood.

"C'mon, he's here."

The rest of them stood and followed him outside, to where a heli was landing. They waited until the rotors slowed down before approaching it. A guy with light blonde hair who looked like he was in his mid 20s jumped out. When he walked up to them, they saw he had emerald green eyes.

"Hi, I'm Luke Murray." He said with a smile, holding out his hand.

None of them took it. After a minute he sighed and put it down.

"Where's Roach?"

"You mean Gary? I really did bring him, you know. I'm not fucking with you, he's in the heli." He said, rolling his eyes and gesturing to the helicopter.

Soap held his gun up and said, "You pull anything and I'll shoot you."

Luke raised his eyebrows.

"I bet you would." He said, giving him a look that said 'fuck off'.

The only reason Soap didn't hit him was because he was too busy looking at Roach, who looked like death had warmed over. He was asleep because Luke had sedated him before leaving, but he was shivering even though he was covered in blankets. His cheeks were flushed, and it looked like he had a fever. They could see hand shaped bruises around his throat where someone had choked him. Just seeing that made Soap's blood boil with anger.

"Damn he looks bad..." Logan whispered.

"Yeah, he looks like shit. At least he's back though." Keegan shrugged.

They were talking and Luke awkwardly stood behind them. Finally after about 10 minutes, one of them grabbed Gary and carried him inside. He followed close behind since he needed to get him settled in the infirmary. Once they got inside, it didn't take long to get there. The person set Gary down on a bed and looked him over with wide eyes.

"He's not as bad off as he looks." Luke said, getting an IV ready.

The person looked up and gave a small smile.

"Yeah, that's how it always is. I'm Keegan." He said, holding out his hand.

Luke paused in what he was doing to shake it.

"At least you'll shake my hand. All those other people avoided it like the plague." He laughed.

"It's just because you called out of nowhere offering to bring Roach back. We all thought you were messing with us."

"I know. I didn't mean for it to seem that way, but I didn't have any other way to contact you guys."

"I understand. So... when you're done here they'll probably want to see you, ask a bunch of questions and shit."

Luke nodded as he slid the needle into Gary's arm.

"I figured as much. Just let me get a heart monitor on him and we can go."

Keegan said okay and leaned against the wall while he waited. It didn't take long and soon they were on their way. When they reached the rec room everyone was in there waiting. It was very... odd. Everyone looked up when they came in. Luke sat down in an empty chair and sighed, waiting for the questions to come. After about a minute of silence, he laughed.

"Wow. You guys are a lively bunch, aren't you? Seriously, are you just gonna stare at me or do you have questions?"

There was a bit more silence while they were thinking of what to ask. They had so many questions that their thoughts were all over the place.

"Where'd you find him?" Price asked.

"Whatever dumbass that ran off with him crashed the helicopter. I saw black smoke, so I looked at his tracker and it said he was nearby. Then I basically just went over there and found him laying out in the snow beside a burning pile of wreckage."

"Wait. You have a tracker in him?" Hesh asked.

He nodded and said, "That kid was a lot of trouble at 15. I was trying to make sure no one killed him because he TP'd their house or screwed their girlfriend."

"Screwed their girlfriend?!" Logan shrieked.

"Yeah if someone pissed him off enough, he'd beat the shit out of them and go screw their girlfriend or sister." He shrugged, as if that was a normal reaction to anger.

"How? You can't just walk up to a girl and say, 'Hey, wanna fuck?'" Keegan said.

"He could. I'm not into guys but I've gotta say that when he was 15, he looked like a fucking model. I think I have a picture actually."

He dug around in his pockets until he found his wallet. After looking around in it for a minute, he found it. He passed it to Keegan, whose eyes nearly doubled in size when he saw it. Roach looked so different. He looked like he was 16 now, but in the picture he looked 13 even though he was 15. His hair was the same color as it currently was, but unlike the straight perfection it had now, it was an unruly mop of curls that fell into his eyes. His skin was pale and clear, devoid of the scars that now took up the space. His eyes were like gems, shining brightly with life. His teeth were the same as now, straight and white as snow. He was wearing a black jacket with a red scarf and snow boots. A red beanie that matched his scarf sat atop the curls. To put it shortly, he looked adorable. They passed it around the room, all of them shocked that it was the same person.

"Damn, he's cute." Logan said, staring at it in awe.

"Hey, don't get any ideas. Your boyfriend over there will miss you dearly." Kick smirked, pointing at Hesh.

"I'm not his boyfriend! I'm his brother, ewww!"

"Hehehe, come here hunny!" Logan squealed, jumping off the couch and chasing him around making kissing noises.

Hesh screamed in terror and ran away. Everyone laughed so hard it hurt. When they finally stopped, Luke looked around the room.

"So... ummm... I don't know any names..." He said awkwardly.

"Oh shit, sorry." Soap said, and they all introduced themselves.

Hesh and Logan came back and sat down, both panting. Then Merrick thought of something.

"Hey Luke, how long have you known Roach?"

"Oh God... since he was around 10 years old. But that was before he started living with me, which happened when he was 13."

"Why'd he live with you? Doesn't he have parents?"

Luke paled slightly and looked down.

"His mother died when he was 11. His father... well, that's for him to tell you. He probably won't though, the only reason I know is because I lived nearby and saw most of the shit that went on."

Everyone looked sad.

"Does he have any siblings?"

"Well... he did. He used to have a brother named Charlie." He said sadly.

He remembered Charlie. The kid was adorable, he was just like a mini version of Gary. An eerie silence filled the room. After a few minutes, he got up.

"I'm gonna go check on him." He muttered, walking out the door.

A/N: Waaaah, his past is so sad. You guys probably won't believe me, but I really did think up his past by myself. It's really... complex... and angsty, CAN'T YOU TELL I DID IT?! Lol, I know you guys probably miss Ghost about now. He'll be here next chappie, don't worry. Well, he'll be here as long as I get some reviews. If I don't get reviews there won't be a next chapter... for a long time... Hehehe! :)
