Chapter 7:

Imbecile

Mckinley Front

I'm not scared of much. I've endured pretty much all of the most popular, most common fears straight on, seeing them smack-dab in front of my face. Spiders? Puh-leese. Falling? Well, I'd fallen off a building as I missed the ledge. Yes, it was scary, but I survived. No harm done. Claustrophobia? A joke, and for me, easily survivable. Scared of death? Eh, slightly… but hey. I was in a WAR. Death happening around me was inevitable.

But everyone has a weakness. Superman: Kryptonite. Spiderman: probably Mary Jane, if she's in trouble. Batman: well, he's too cool for a weakness… never mind him… in fact, pretend I never mentioned the Dark Knight at all.

My point is, though the common fears don't bother me very much, I still DO have a weakness. A fear. And, much to my dislike, my fear was clearly represented in one of the Modern Warfare 2 levels, titled "The Only Easy Day… Was Yesterday."

And, even more to my dislike, that level came next in the sequence. I really had no choice in the matter; stupid Shepherd was all "Oh, you're part of Team 2 with MacTavish and Ghost…" which was total bait for me because I felt I was slowly falling for the masked man and I didn't want to leave his side. Grumbling, I reluctantly agreed to assist with the mission.

What am I afraid of, you ask?

Being underwater.

As we loaded into the submarines, there was one sentence that kept repeating itself over and over in my head like a broken record.

Ghost better not leave my side.

Lt. Ghost

How was I supposed to know she was afraid of being underwater? Queen decided to tell me this crucial and rather important piece of information right before we all loaded into the submarines. I offered to explain the situation to the men in charge before we launched, but she quickly rejected my offer. Apparently she had one condition I had to stay by in order for her to remain calm while underwater.

Suddenly I was a suck-up, a guardian, and an infatuated imbecile.

Much to my surprise—and probably to your surprise as well—I was not the first to say those three things. Queen called herself those things. I heard her.

Was she infatuated with MacTavish?

Or me?
