The legalities: I do not own any of the Expendables franchise (characters, places, and objects especially) and this is mostly au.Rated M just to be on the safe side.
Also, please don't be afraid to write reviews. I would love to hear from you all!
Hope you enjoy!
Prompt: "You go. I am fine."
"I know you're not."
"I can never lie to you, can I?"
"No."
Infiltration work sucked. Somehow, it always seemed to be on Jacoba to carry the brunt of this category. She was going to have a really long talk with Barney after this.
This just so happened to be a, supposedly, quick routine infiltration by the team to rescue a hostage. Since this was a government contractor with ridiculously high security as the bad guys, the Expendables' usual method of going in guns blazing just wouldn't cut it. So, Jacoba got to be a "specialist" to con the company's owner to believe that she could "take care" of his problem. As soon as she saw the hostage, she was to make a way to get herself and said hostage out and the Expendables would take over from there.
As Jacoba walked next to the company's CEO, she kept scanning her surroundings, finding a few good possibilities for escape to the extraction point. Focusing again on her "companion," she followed him through a doorway to see a young woman bound and gagged in the center of the room. Sneering, she turned toward the CEO.
"What the hell is this?" Thank God for Lee helping her toget her British accent right, it was really helping this character. "Do you call this a 'blank' canvas? She's gonna have ligature marks that could lead back to you! How the hell do you expect me to deal with this?"
To say she wasn't fully expecting him to pull a gun on her was an understatement, but she kept her face impassive. This man was an idiot. "Now why would I let you deal with it? I brought you here because you're another loose end." Jacoba could hear all of the guys grumbling in her ear, Gunnar being the loudest. "In fact, darling, everything in here can kill you. But I can do it the most efficiently."
Jacoba couldn't help it; she snorted. The guy was getting super pissed, but she didn't care. Smirking, she said, "Oh hon, you really are out of your league. You know why?" she leaned forward. "Because I'm and Amazon." She proceeded to headbutt, disarm, and knock him out. Quickly freeing the hostage and putting him in her place, Jacoba picked up the gun and spoke into her comm, "Just so you know boys, we're coming out hot. And Barn, we are so having a long conversation about this one."
She was right. Infiltration work sucked.
