fixed wounds

I had woken back up in the BLU medbay again, I began to look around as I saw Claire at the window, she looked a bit distressed near the window. Perhaps she was reconsidering her actions, I didn't feel as betrayed as Tik or Nick had felt. I attempted to move and she suddenly looked back a bit shocked but calmed down. She watched me get up, I felt a small pain in my stomach and grasped it as I tried to speak to her.

"You look troubled.. is something wrong?"

She was silent for a moment, she sighed and looked downwards removing her medical mask.

"Yes.. they want to transfer me over to another base.."

"What why would they do that?"

She didn't respond as I walked over to her

"Y-your not really gonna let them do that.. are you? What would we do without you around to keep us all healthy and good to go for battle?"

"Look Mike.. thats sweet you think of me like that but thats not the reason. My old team needs me again, I can't exactly just leave them behind and put you all in risk of keeping me here."

Claire crossed her arms and sighed again as she began her way to the door and I looked at her.

"Wait what old team are you talking about?"

She didn't say anything as she left the medical bay, the room felt cold and alone. I crossed my arms and shivered a small bit, the AC wasn't the only thing freezing the mood of this team.. no it was something else.. this war was tearing us apart.

I walked out of the medbay after a few minutes, and decided to check out the workshop as perhaps JET had some answers. As I was approaching the metal door of the workshop I could hear Richard talking with the engineer Sarah, they were.. flirting? I listened in a bit and peaked inside, seemed she was working on a few inventions before Richard had come in and disturbed her work though she didn't care. She wore a hard hat like any engineer, long brown hair and BLU overalls that was also partly a dress. In the workshop I could see JET up against the wall, he suddenly activated and stepped forwards. The spy and engineer were both a bit shocked by this, Richard looked a bit annoyed but Sarah giggled as JET proceeded to walk past and out of the workshop where I immediately confronted him with my questions.

"JET I got a few questions, Claire said she's leaving because some sort of older team needs her? Are there other teams than us out there? Whys this one so important?"

JET simply starred at me

"Lady Claire is leaving due to complaints of traitorous actions."

"Traitorous actions? Didn't she just let a single spy in? She's our medic why would we get rid of her over such a simple thing!?"

I was all confused at him

"Letting an enemy into our base undetected is more than a simple action master Mike. Mines could have been planted underneath our floors, we could be getting tracked or worse.. data could have been stolen. It was I who filed for her to be removed from this team for the safety of the rest of us. She is not the first traitor BLU has dealt with."

JET said as he proceeded to walk away, I was unsure of what to say after that. Suddenly I was grabbed from behind by Alice our soldier. She had a strong grip but eventually let go of me, behind her was Tik and Nick as Tik began to speak.

"Heya pet! Me and the others were planning to go out to tuefort tonight! You wanna come?"

I looked at them they all looked happy to bring me along.. or well I could only see Alice's expression due to Tik and Nick both wearing masks. I decided to I would join them, though in reality I wanted to go and lay down for a while. These sudden changes in mood and emotion made my head spin, I followed them out of the base as the sun began to set.
