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: "I don't care where I'm sleeping, as long as it's with you."
"Damn it!"
Jacoba furrowed her brow and shared a look with Gunnar and the rest of the team in the back before turning to face the cockpit. from where she was sitting, she could see Barney flipping multiple switches and (seemingly) swearing under his breath. It looked like Lee was just sitting back and holding in his laughter. Looking around at the rest of the team again, she rolled her eyes when she noticed that they were all looking at her in expectation.
Sighing, she stood and made her way to the cockpit. "What's going on, Barn?"
The boss man turned and glared at Jacoba (who just raised her eyebrow at him) before throwing up his hands and sighing. "For some reason, the plane won't start. So, unfortunately, we are stuck here until we figure out what's going on."
Amidst the groans from the rest of the team (who had followed her up there), Jacoba chuckled and shook her head before turning to the group behind her. "Alright, you all heard the man. Caesar, Toll, go set up the tents that are back with the emergency supplies. Yes, they are there, I checked before we left. And if I find them when you say that you can't, you both will be sleeping in the single person tent. Hon, could you and Yin please go get some firewood and maybe scrounge up something to eat? No guns, please and thank you." After she finished giving instructions to the rest, she turned back to the two in the cockpit, rubbing her hands together in anticipation. "Alright, boys, I'll hold flashlights or whatever light you want me to. Let's take a look at this piece of crap."
~~~A Stranded Night~~~A Stranded Night~~~A Stranded Night~~~A Stranded Night~~~
An hour later, Jacoba, Lee, and Barney joined the rest of the team at the campsite that had been set up. Caesar was manning the food, since he had a whole spice rack packed in the plane and was pretty much the master chef of the group. Jacoba sighed as she plopped down next to Gunnar, who automatically placed his arm around her shoulders and squeezed, not even stopping his conversation with Toll. Yin was inspecting the tents to ensure that they were put together well (a job that Jacoba had pulled him aside and asked him to do).
Barney cleared his throat. Once all eyes were on him, he sighed. "We found the problem but will need more light to fix it. So, we are staying here no matter what. After supper, we will figure out who is sleeping where."
As the rest of the team started to argue about sleeping arrangements, Jacoba just smirked and leaned up to Gunnar's ear. "I don't care where I'm sleeping as long as it's with you."
Gunnar started to chuckle as he placed a kiss onto her forehead. Both waited for one of the other team members to say something and weren't disappointed when they heard Caesar say, "Awwm naw, Amazon, y'all are nasty!"
The team ate to the laughter of everyone and eventually went to sleep a bit more relaxed than they were before. And, when they went looking for Jacoba in the morning, they found her right where she had said she'd be, sleeping next to Gunnar.
