The culmination of the "Worrying Teammates" storyline. For now.
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: "Are you there?"
"Physically, yes. Mentally is debatable."
Jacoba sighed as she looked through her sniper scope, following the team's progress as she did so. This was one of her first mission back since her gun shot wound a few weeks before. Even though the doctor had given her a clean bill of health, Barney had insisted that she sat as security for the plane for a couple of missions. It took Gunnar and Lee sitting Barney down and talking to him (as well as separate conversations with Trench, Tool, and the rest of the team) to finally convince the boss to allow her to at least be the sniper for a mission or two. Hence the position she was in now.
It had been a rather simple mission. The team was given express permission to blow up the compound, so they had been placing charges as they went. She'd kept a close eye on them all, though she was still yearning to be in the middle of the action. Well, she was only yearning for now, as she had a feeling that, in the future, she would rather be doing what she was doing now.
"Amazon."
Jacoba narrowed her eyes as she continued looking through the scope. There were a few of the mark's men grouped in front of the team, pointing weapons at them. Incorrectly, but at them all the same.
Before she could say anything in response, Barney's voice came through the comms once again, this time a bit more grated and softer than the last. "Amazon, are you there?"
Rolling her eyes, she quickly shot all of the men facing the team before responding. "Physically, yes, I am. Mentally is still debatable."
"Amazon."
Jacoba tried really hard to not start laughing at Barney's exasperated tone. It was partially compounded by the fact that the remaining members of the team were all chuckling in the background. "Barn, you guys have a clear shot to the other side of the compound right now, but I can't predict how long that I can guarantee that. So, I suggest that you all get a move on it."
Through her scope, Jacoba could practically see Barney roll his eyes before he motioned for the team to follow him. She shook her head. The team really needed to stop being such worry warts. She could take care of herself and all of them on her own. Now she just had to prove it to them. Oh joy.
