3rd Person
Cafeteria
Sat on a bustling table in the cafeteria sat one of team rainbows newest members. Her dazzling smile made many swoon as she conversed with her new colleagues.
"So new girl, what's your name?" Asked James.
"My name is Nienke Meijer, it's a pleasure to meet you all" Nienke replied, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. It was enough to make anyones heart skip a beat.
"So, what made you want to join team rainbow?" Asked Monika, gaining the attention of the tables in the vicinity. Part of the cafeteria quietened down to silence, intending to hear the woman's reasoning.
"Well team rainbow is a prestigious team and well, I have a mild infatuation with a certain operator here." She replied, garnering looks of shock from everyone around her
"Who is it?!" Almost everyone exclaimed simultaneously. At this Nienke giggled, covering her mouth with her hand.
"Well, I don't know his real name because it was classified but his codename is Cutter" she replied. Everyone became deathly silent at her reply. Not a sound was uttered until Nienke broke it.
"Why's everyone gone quiet?" She asked.
"Well Nienke, you must understand that Cutter isn't... isn't your average operator much less a common crush, it just took us by suprise is all" commented Meghan, earning nods of agreement from everyone else.
"How can you not like him? He survived for 2 hours by himself against repeated white mask insurgents, carried a dying man for three days through a desert and he's not hard on the eyes" Nienke stated, a daze in her eyes. Everyone else just sat there stunned.
"Did you not know this?" Asked Nienke in confusion.
"No, in fact we don't know much about him apart from his name" replied Monika, causing Nienke to be shocked.
"You know his name! How?" She asked.
"Well he told Eliza and she started using it around the base. But he only allows her to call him by his actual name." Replied Meghan.
"Wait so what is it? And who's Eliza?"" Nienke questioned.
"His real name is y/n and Eliza is the most lovable woman in the world who cutter has a soft spot for, they became close friends after he saved her life on a mission a few months back" Monika replied, glancing to the pair in question opposite their table across the room.
Nienke didn't like the sound of her 'competition' as she glanced to Cutter. A rare smile was present on his face and it made her heart jump. But her smile dropped slightly when she saw who had caused that. Eliza.
"So who else is he close friends with, maybe if I befriend them I can get closer" Nienke commented, earning a chuckle from those around her.
"What's so funny?" She questioned, anger slightly seeping into her voice.
"Sorry lass, it's just you were looking at her. Eliza is the only one to befriend him during his time here" Seamus told her. Nienke looked downtrodden upon hearing this.
"I've messed up my chances then. I thought if i was to grind his nerves he would complain about me to his friends and then he would continue to think about me. But now he must find me annoying and the person he will complain to will be Eliza. He's gonna think I'm a terrible roommate" Nienke complained.
"Wait, your roommates with him?!" Asked Monika.
"Yeah, apparently he's being punished for something about his mission in Canada" she replied.
"Anyway, I dont think you have to worry about Eliza. She's friends with everyone, it just so happens that she's friends with cutter too. But if you want a chance of getting close to him then befriending Eliza is your chance" commented Emanuelle.
Nienke only went deep into thought, staring at the pair in question on another table."I'll go get you another tray" Eliza commented, getting ready to dash to the food line again. Before she could I gripped her wrist tightly, preventing her from dashing for more food.
"Eliza, this is enough for me. I do not need more" I told her, gesturing to my minuscule plate. Eliza just stared at me.
"That is not enough for someone who hasn't eaten in days" she argued, causing me to roll my eyes.
"Its all I need" I responded, letting go of her wrist. Eliza glared at me slightly before she suddenly grinned, flashing me her pearly white teeth.
"Okay" she said, pulling out her phone.
"Okay?" I repeated, suspicious of her sudden change of attitude.
"Yep, it's fine" she replied, a bright smile on her face.
"Hmmm" I hummed, scanning her for any hint of what she was planning. There was no way THE Eliza Cohen was giving up like that.
"Buuuuuut, I think Harry would agree with me that you would be unfit for duty if you were to miss the required nutrients that allows an operator to perform at their best" she replied, an eyebrow raised and a cocky smile plastered on her lips. I grit my teeth but held back any... choice words I would like to tell her.
"... go get something then" I reluctantly gave in, causing her to dash off. That woman will always know how to play me and it infuriates me.Shuffling caught my attention, cutting my thoughts off. What I expected was Eliza carrying a huge tray of food. Instead, my new roommate had sat down at the table with a warm smile plastered on her luscious lips. Her heart stopping eyes stared into mine and I felt as if she was looking into my very soul.
"Hey again" she spoke up, doing a two finger salute.
"What do you want?" I spat, venom filling my tone. I still remembered earlier and just because she flashed a pretty smile and batted her eyelashes doesn't mean I'm gonna look past her disrespect.
"Wow, kind of harsh. All I did was say hi" she replied, tilting her head slightly.
"You broke into my dorm, drank my expensive Whiskey gifted to me by the previous six and then completely disrespected me. As of now, I dislike you the most on this entire fucking base and that is impressive." I replied firmly, glaring directly into her bright blue eyes.
"That whiskey was expensive? It tasted like shit" was her only remark. Immediately my fists balled and my teeth grit. Only a few moments and I despised her very presence.

"Do me a favour and don't punch every operator that annoy's you. Most people were opposed to the idea of bringing you into rainbow and Harry was one of them. When he becomes six, he won't trust you at first and if you keep attacking his operators then you may just be removed" six told me, taking a sip from her glass. Her face didn't even twitch upon swallowing the burning liquid.
"Why Harry of all people?" I asked, taking a sip of my own glass. Unfortunately, my eyes slightly twitches as I struggled to keep a neutral facade. I could never drink this stuff as casually as six, but I still tried.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you" was her only reply, a smug grin following suit. With that I rolled my eyes, a smile tugging at my own lips.

That short reminiscence was the only thing that stopped me from lunging for her. Silently, I stood up and walked off. Recruits parted way for me as i exited the cafeteria, not wanting to potentially piss me off any further.3rd person
Eliza returned back to the table, only to see a down trodden Nienke and an empty space where cutter once sat. With a sigh she placed the tray down before sitting down next to the white haired woman. Said woman glanced up at Eliza before standing up.
"Sorry, I'll leave" Nienke mumbled.
Eliza swiftly grabbed Nienke's wrist before tugging her back into her seat.
"Nonsence, I can't let a gloomy friend suffer by herself now can I?" Eliza asked rhetorically, causing Nienke to furrow her eyebrows.
"Friend? You don't even know who I am, why would you want to be friends?" Nienke asked in confusion.
"Because any friend of cutter Is a friend of mine" Eliza replied, causing Nienke to let out a laugh.
"You think we are friends? Please, he can't even stand me" she laughed, though you could see the sadness in her eyes.
"Well all he's done is talk about his new roommate for the last 30 mins" Eliza replied, causing Nienke to raise her eyebrow.
"You mean complained?" Asked Nienke.
"That doesn't matter. You are the only person that he has cared enough about to complain about them. The way I see it, he wants to like you but your going about it the wrong way" Eliza replied. Nienke looked towards the ginger haired woman with a hopeful glance.
"You actually think that?" She asked, to which Eliza nodded.
"My advice to you would be to try and sit down and have some of his whiskey, he opens up more when he has a drinking buddy. Also, talk about your experiences and don't stroke his ego too much, if he thinks your trying to butter him up he'll resent you even more" Eliza replied, before standing up.
"I'm gonna go back to my dorm now, good luck" and with that, Eliza was gone.
