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're insane."
"I know! Isn't it great?"
"I'm not sure about you."
Jacoba didn't even look up from the stacks of paperwork covering her desk. "Good morning to you too, Smilee."
Smilee rolled his eyes as he sat down in the chair that was set in front of the desk. "Yeah, yeah, good morning. I'm still not sure about you."
"How so?"
"You're just, like, an anomaly is all. You don't have the military or similar that the rest of us have and yet you've been doing this job for how long now?"
Jacoba sniffed and rolled her eyes before leaning back in her chair to look at the young man, crossing her arms. "Fairly long. And just because I don't have the same background as you guys doesn't mean I'm not as good as the rest of you."
Smilee put his hands up in surrender, a slightly panicked look on his face. "I'm not saying that, J.D. I'm just a bit in awe of all that you have been able to achieve."
He kept his expression neutral as Jacoba looked at him critically before she smirked and leaned back down to continue with the work she was doing. "Oh, I know. But I have to get my laughs in somehow."
After a couple of silent minutes where she went back to doing paperwork, Jacoba started to realize that Smilee wasn't responding to her statement. Looking back up at him, she had to stifle a snort. Smilee was sitting there looking rather gob smacked at how she had answered. That set her off, making her almost fall off her chair. This brought Smilee out of his stupor and he frowned. "Amazon, you're insane!"
She sobered a little but kept a creepy smile on her face and manic look in her eyes as she looked at him. "I know! Isn't it great?"
They both kept a straight face for about half a minute. Then they both started to laugh heartily. By the time that Tool and Gunnar walked in, the latter coming to drag his woman home, Smilee and Jacoba had calmed down for the most part. As she and Gunnar walked towards the door, Jacoba looked back over her shoulder and locked eyes with Smilee again, causing both of them to start snickering again. Catching Gunnar's confused look, Jacoba leaned in, kissed his cheek, and said, "I'll explain later. You're gonna love this."
