A/N: I'm doing a collab with Alphawolf19 (previously known as Hawkeye-33)! I love this person, from her writing to her personality! This right here is going to be the intro for our two OCs, Shadow and T-Rex. If you wanna know more about them, you'll have to keep an eye out for our story, Doom on You, Mr. Tango! Anyway, final post op appointment for my nose in the morning, hopefully no more surgeries so I can keep both stories going! Shadow belongs to AlphaWolf19 and T-Rex is mine!

SpitFire USN: Sweet! Ya know, my dad is Navy, has been for 26 years. He is on his last deployment. If you ever want pilot advice (I've flown a plane) or Navy advice, hit me up! Thanks for reading!

Onwards!

When the Captain returns, two woman join him. The surprise in the room is evident. A few men gasp and the shorter of the two rolls her eyes. Both are short, even by female standards. "Men, these two are Lieutenant Kylie "T-Rex" Long," Mactavish gestures towards the taller of the two, "and Sergeant Vanessa "Shadow" Lee."

The room doesn't respond for a moment until Roach steps in. "I'm bu-Roach. Sergeant Sanderson. But I prefer Roach."

The men go around with introductions, warming up to the FNGs.

"Well, I'm going to go unpack, I'll be out soon. You coming, Shadow?" T-Rex replies with a Texan accent.

Shadow shakes her head and plops down on the floor due to the lack of empty seats. "I'll do that later." Her Scottish accent is slight.

T-Rex smiles and walks out. Silwnce ensues, leaving Roach to break the silence once again. "So, Shadow, we were talking about how we got our call signs. Care to share?"

"Catch me up on yours first, sergeant." Roach mentally flinches a little at the professionalism but quickly recovers. "I'm impossible to kill, Toad tried to play a prank involving toads, and failed horribly, and Worm is shark bait."

"I got mine when I was 19 when I snuck onto an enemy base to rescue my captured team. I was bloody stealthy too, the men who survived claimed it was like catching a shadow." Shadow simply states.

Scarecrow groans, "Come on, details!"

Shadow allows a small smile, amused. Her grey-blue eyes flash as she remembers the day.

"Well, it was about three months ago, and it was what got me noticed by General Shepard."

Three Months Ago

Vanessa grinned, showing an emotion rarely shown elsewhere. As the body fell to the ground, she felt a grim satisfaction at killing those who would dare harm her team. As day progressed into night, the base was quickly falling into darkness. Perfect. She dragged the body into a small aclove and crept forward, blending with the shadows. As she rounded a corner, knife drawn, she quickly pressed herself against the wall. Coming closer were voices. "Shite." Vanessa whispered. Too close, no way to avoid them.

As they approached, Vanessa strained her ears to hear how many there were. "Shite." Too many.

Thinking quickly, Vanessa dropped to the ground and rolled her body so that she was lying on her side while pushed up against the wall. As the patrol approached closer and closer, she held her breath. The group looked ahead, oblvious to the threat right next to their feet, and continued conversing in Russian. Vanessa translated in her head. "That team we picked up, are we sure we got them all?"

"Pretty sure Nikkita."

"But what if we didn't?"

"Then they would go home. It wold be suicide to try to get them back."

Vanessa smiled, they had no idea. As soon as the patrol rounded the corner, she let out a small breath of relief. Getting back up, she contined on her mission. Checking her corners and checking each room, she progressed through the base undetected.

Present Time

"You might be better than Ghost here. He's our best with stealth." Canine stated.

"Watch it, mate."

"Yessir." Canine smiled.

"We may have to test that, sir." Shadow suggested.

"Eager to get our butt kicked, FNG?" Ghost mildly threatened.

"As I was saying, I progressed through the majority of the base undetected, but I did have to off a few guards. One body was found and the alarm went on through the base, putting it on high alert. I tried to maintain stealth, and I succeeded until I reached my team, Bravo Five."

Three Months Ago

Placing a breaching charge on the door, Vanessa prepared herself to ensure she didn't shoot her team. Thw charge went off and time slowed down.

Aiming quickly, Vanessa counted five targets and took them out with one shot to the chest each. Before the smoke had cleared, the room was clear. "About time sergeant."

"Apologies, sir. Let's go."

"You nust be a bloody shadow, sneaking through here like that. The alarm literally just went off."

"As opposed to theoretically, sir?"

Her CO smiled a bloody smile. "Lead the way."

Present Time

"My team was composed of five guys, including myself, and none were fit for combat at that point. I lead the way out and set fire to the base. We got our intel and our men back, and we went home to Credenhill. Since then, they called me Shadow."
