Unexpected beginnings

Past fights

You wake up in your bed alone. You drag yourself out of bed and slip on a t-shirt and sweatpants then head out of your room to make yourself something to eat.
When you step into the kitchen, you already see Soap making scrambled eggs while Ghost leans on the counter next to him and listens to Soap talk.
"And that's why I- oh, y/n, you're up," Soap cuts himself off, "I made eggs, I hope ya like them," Soap gives you the smile that made you fall for him in the first place.
You sit down at your small kitchen table. Soap begins to plate the food and head over to the table, Ghost follows.
Ghost sits down across from you, "I think we're gonna stay for a while,"
Soap sits down, "we want to keep ya safe, lass," Soap takes your hand and sets the plate in front of you, "we're goin' to stay by your side."
You give him a smile.

After you had finished, Ghost looks at you and says, "get dressed, we need to go in for a briefing."
You follow his orders and get dressed in jeans and a nice shirt.
As you are in front of your mirror fixing your hair, Soap walks in and leans in the door way, "ya know we're doing this just to protect you. You matter to us now, even if you had pulled some things in your past."
You continue fixing your hair and don't look at him, "I know, but why are you not turning me in?"
"Because you're now part of 141, and we're a team," Soap walks up behind you and wraps his arms around your waist and rests his chin on your shoulder. You can see the comforting look on his face in the mirror. You feel safe in his arms, but you're afraid that you could cause more harm to not just him, but the rest of the team if you stay.

You finish your hair and rest your hands on Soaps and stand with him for a second, soon Ghost walks in, "let's got, we've got things to cover."
Soap lets go of you, and walks out of the room.
As you arrive to the base, you realize you haven't genuinely been there for quite a while. Walking through the halls, past the offices, and even to your office, you remember how much you finally realize you belong here.
Ghost leads you into the briefing room.
You take your seat and watch as Price walks up to the front, "glad to have everyone back, but now we have a bigger threat to face. C is back," Price's tone is serious, "I know that we have faced them before, but this time they are holding a grudge with us, and now y/n is in danger," Price looks at you, "Pink, I want you to start digging up the places we could find C, you know them better than any of us."
"On it, Captain," you say feeling slightly awkward hearing the name 'Pink' come from Price's mouth again.
"Good, as soon as you get a solid list with evidence, we move out," Price redirects his attention to the whole team, "let's not let C get away this time."

The briefing is dismissed and you start the walk back to your office alone. You reach the door and slightly hesitate before you open the door and walk in. The room looks just as you left it. The bookshelves are still slightly empty, but you have added to them with your time here. Post-it notes litter your dear and the edge of your monitor. You close the door walk over to your desk and sit down.
You open a new document and start compiling places where you think C could be.
You get into the groove of work of researching and looking through your old messages between you and C from years ago. Before you know it, 4 hours had passed. You look at the time and stretch out your back. You look back to your monitor and send out your document to the rest of 141.
You recline in your chair and stare at the ceiling. You close your eyes for a second, then decide to get up and walk over to Ghost's office.
As you walk down the hallway, you're not sure how to feel. The conflicting feeling of your past makes you want to run away again, but you have found two amazing people who continuously pull you back in.

You stand in front of Ghosts office. You raise your hand to knock, but instead decide to promptly walk in without notification.
Ghost is sitting at his desk and Soap in a chair near Ghosts desk. They have papers and files covering the entirety of Ghosts desk accept for space for a simple desk top set up.

Soap looks up from the papers in his hand, to you, "Ya okay, babe?" His face slightly puzzled.
"Oh- yeah, yeah, I'm fine," you quickly wipe the tired look on your face for a slight smile, "I just wanted to go over some things with you," you take another empty seat next to Ghost's desk.
You pass your file to Ghost and Soap to look over what you had found. Soap flips through the pages, "guess ya knew them fairly well, Pink," he continues to flip through the small packet.
Ghost reclines in his seat and skims the messages, "you really have a lot on them, huh?" He makes brief eye contact with you, then sets the paper down and puts his attention back on his monitor.

You sit quietly for a second. "When are we heading out?" You ask sheepishly and bowing your head.
"As soon as we get enough information to find C," Ghost speaks carelessly, keeping his eyes on his computer.
Soap moves the paper in his hand down to his lap and grabs your attention, "hey, ya don't need to worry about this too much, we've got your back," his smile is comforting, but you can't shake the feeling that you're presence will only jeopardize everyone.
