The General (Soap MacTavish x Reader)

6. Around the wolves

Y/n didn't sleep all night. The fact that she saw her parents who passed away many years ago while hallucinating in that broken jet underwater just scares the shit out of her till now.

It was early morning, around 7 AM and everyone was sleeping quietly, the base is quiet. The only thing y/n could hear were the birds chirping outside. She stayed in bed for another 30 minutes. After that she got up slowly. 'Fucking hell... my head hurts, I better go to Johnny's room. If I don't share this with someone I feel like I will go crazy'

"Can I come in, Johnny? I want to talk" Y/n asked nervously.

"Of courseee, come in!" he responded friendly.

Opening the door y/n noticed how comfortable his room is. Light blue walls, cute action figures on his shelf. Cozy vibe at all. She just stood at the doorframe admiring the view. Her jaw slightly dropped.

"From where do you have all this? It's beautiful!" Y/n pretended to cry.

"Oh, come here!" Johnny came next to her kissing her forehead and lifting her up, carrying her to his bed. "Now tell me what's wrong. Also I buy them, from time to time!" Johnny went back closing the door so they can chat freely.

"Umm.. i dunno from where to start"

"Don't worry. Take your time" said Soap playing with one of his action figures. "Also, look! Isn't this one cool?" he pointed at one of his handmade weapons hanging on the wall.

'Damn, this guys is mixed between "I'm a baby" and "I'm gonna kill you" type of energy...' she thought. "Yes, it's cool, Johnny. Now let me ask you something first. Have you ever hallucinated?"

"No? Why? Did you hallucinate? What did you see?" Johnny was kinda worried.

"I mean, you got it. And did you remember the time when I ignored your question about my parents?"

"Almost forgot it to be honest!" He said smilingly.

"Well in my hallucination I saw them, my parents" she said.

"W-what? What do you mean? Like, can I ask what happened?" he said with his smile disappearing from his face. "Since I know you from a couple of weeks I don't know that much about you like what happened before... How did you end up in military at all..." Soap really wanted to know her backstory at that moment.

"Firstly, my parents aren't alive. For some reason I saw them while I was completely panicking in that fricking jet"

Johnny stayed silent so y/n could continue. He wanted to hug her so bad.

"It all started when I was a little girl. I think I was 10 years old? I don't remember exactly. Terrorists knocked on the door of my parents' house, but any of us didn't know they were actually terrorists. My father opened the door and several bullets went right through his body. The view was painful to watch. My mother started screaming in fear and tried to tell them to spear us. They didn't. At least my mother. I quickly and quietly hid under my mother's bed which was low enough so they don't see me. I don't know who was their leader at that time. Hassan? Someone else? I didn't know what cruelty was possible. Long story short, I grew up hiding in my house, eating canned food from the basemen-"

Johnny interrupted her saying angrily "Whoever did this to you deserves to be slaughtered"

"Several years later I ran into those two again. This time I served in the army. They begged in front of me, didn't make it. Even after killing them it didn't feel right. I didn't feel better, just the emptiness remained. Like... killing a person means nothing when there's so much pain" Y/n glanced at Soap and continued talking. "In that F-22 I thought I'm going to die. Honestly being a general also means nothing. We still experience fear."
