Punishment?

Y/n Pov
Hallways
Recruits parted way for me as I stomped through the hallway, my fury scaring anyone in a ten metre radius. My thoughts repeated what Harry had said to me just a few minutes ago.

____
"PUNISHMENT?! I'VE COMPLETED EVERY MISSION WITH EASE AND HAVE HAD NO NEGATIVE INTERACTIONS WITH ANYONE IN TEAM RAINBOW" I growled, gripping the sides of his desk. Although to my dismay, Harry seemed unfazed by my anger.
"Your actions in Canada were unacceptable and do not reflect team rainbow in the positive ways we hope for" he calmly replied, taking a sip of his tea. The cup was white with dark blue patterns covering the ceramic, giving it a classic 1980's look. A well known favourite of Harry's.

'Ever since the old six left I have done nothing but help team rainbow, even dialed back my brutality. And how am i repayed? Punishment! FUCKING PUNISHMENT! Just because I made the hostage slightly uncomfortable, while saving his LIFE.
____
"Unacceptable? I saved a hostage and disarmed two biological bombs in under ten minutes by myself. How is THAT unacceptable?" I questioned, glaring harshly at the man Infront of me.
"Let's focus on your acquisition of the hostage. A complaint was filed concerning your handling of the V.I P. Duct tape applied to the mouth, thrown out of a window with a rappel attached to his chest and most of all, used as BAIT" Harry replied, letting anger consume the final part of his sentence. It was rare to see Harry as anything but calm, meaning he was very stressed at this moment.
______

I mean come on, a grown ass man couldn't handle a bit of duct tape and a perfectly safe exit strategy in a high pressure situation. I had no-

______
"-other choice, he wouldn't keep quiet and he needed to be thrown out the window because it was either that or 20 bullets in his torso" I replied
"What about tying him up and letting a squadron of seven highly trained and highly dangerous terrorists gather around him?" He asked with grit teeth.
"I was low on ammo, plus they needed him alive. I simply just utilised that to their disadvantage" I replied, rolling my eyes.
"This is not how we do things here at team rainbow" he stated, slamming the tea cup against the desk. The ceramic chipped slightly at the bottom and the liquid it contained sloshed about inside, some spilling over the rim.
_____

Not how we do things, what a load of shit. The old six only cared if the mission was complete, the methods did not matter, only the end result. This new guy... he wanted everything perfect and with the missions we undertake... perfect is far from what we get.
____
"This punishment is non-negotiable. Until you can prove that your an operator capable of representing team rainbow in a professional manner, this punishment will continue" he stated calmly, getting his emotions back in check. Harry was never a guy to show negative emotion like that, which was all the more confusing.
"Out of everyone you could have picked, why did you have to stick me with the most insufferable bitch i have ever had the misfortune I've witnessing?" I asked, accepting defeat.
"Miss Meijer is a new and talented individual that has recently joined team rainbow, I do not care for her personality unless it incites a negative reaction amongst the team" he calmly stated, leaning back casually in his chair with a small smile tugging at his lips. I hated that, people who knew something and find it funny that you don't.
"Well pretty soon shes gonna incite a bullet to her skull" I threatened. Harry's demeanour changed immediately.
"The only reason your here right now is because of your actions in saving Miss Cohen, if not you would be on the first transport back to black gate prison" he replied.
"..." I glared silently at the man Infront of me. Harry didn't back down though, staring directly into my eyes.
"... the old six made risks, she took all of us from across the world, put us on a team and ensured we worked well together. Know this, you will never be as admired or as respected as the previous six, she was our friend.. your just our boss" and with that I walked out the door, ignoring the slightly hurt look on Harry's face.

After that argument I just wanted to be away from everyone so I headed towards the gym. It was currently dinner so no one was going to be in there.
'How am I going to put up with my new roommate? It seems her mission is to enrage me and I very nearly put a bullet in her hand to shut her up' as I was deep in thought, I failed to notice the rambunctious ginger bolting towards me from down the hall.
'All I gave to do is complete my next mission perf- ACK'
My leg went back as far as it could, barely steadying me enough to stay on my feet. Hanging around my neck was Eliza, a beaming smile plastered on her face.
"What's up y/n? You look extra grumpy today" she said, gaining an eye twitch from me. I remember when I foolishly gave her my name in confidence but of course she couldn't keep her mouth shut and would constantly call me by my name infront of everyone. That made people think they could do the same... they couldn't. I vividly remember six making an announcement stating that it was a terrible idea to go around using an operators real name without their permission, especially if that operator can break a bone fifty different ways. Even after putting seven of her best recruits out of commission for a few weeks she still held that amused look on her face, even seemed proud that I had told Eliza my name in the first place.
"Hello Eliza, a warning would have been much appreciated" I stated with a sigh.
"Nope. Now what's got your panties in a twist?" She asked, her beaming smile now a mischievous grin.
"I don't know, maybe because everytime I walk down a hallway I get tackled so hard it would put the NFL to shame" i replied, rolling my eyes.
"Nope, because you looked grumpy even before you saw me so what's up? You know i won't stop until I get the answer" she replied. One thing that Eliza had was this sixth sense to tell if someone's lying. It's kinda cool until you realise that there's nothing you can say to her, apart from the truth, to get her to leave.
"... apparently my last actions on the Canada mission were unorthodox and I'm being punished with a roommate, one of my main demands for staying at team rainbow" I stated. It was no secret that I made demands to the new six if I was gonna say. The old six had taken a risk with me, which I respected. In return I served team rainbow, even risking my life to save one of it's prized members. After that, six wiped my record and we would often make small talk wether it be passing in the hallways or inviting each other for a drink. Most likely, I possessed more classified knowledge than anyone on base.
"*gasp* I'll put in a request! Maybe we can be bunk mates" she beamed with dreamy eyes, which I quickly wiped away.
"I wish it was you, this new girl is insufferable and disrespectful" I replied. Eliza looked at me with slightly hurt eyes.
"You may be insufferable but your rarely disrespectful, also you may have many redeeming qualities while she has none I have witnessed as of yet. And you know you wiggled your way into my soft spot so dont go giving me that look" I demanded, causing her to smile proudly. Quite the accomplishment when your the only one to befriend someone after one year of their self isolation.
"So who is it?" She asked, curiosity dripping from her voice.
"All I got from Harry is 'miss Meijer'" I replied, to which Eliza smiled.
"Oooooh, you mean Iana. Oh my what a woman, she's so kind and funny and attractive and.. gosh you know? She just..." Eliza stopped herself when she finally saw my scathing glare. But it wasnt directed at her, rather at a wall.
"Your telling me she's like that with everyone apart from me? It must have been harry, or I've done something to piss her off. Well you know what? Two can play it that game" I grumbled to myself, while Eliza just watched.
"Well then.. let's go" she said, grabbing my arm and dragging me.
"Where?" I asked
"Cafeteria, I know you haven't eaten much recently" she replied, continuing to drag me.
"I don't need to eat right now, what I need is-"
"Food. What you need is food, no discussion" she cut me off, continuing to drag me down the corridor.
