Nicole's POV:

When Y/N came into the dining room, I felt relieved but mostly angry toward them. They made this dramatic entrance on the wrong topic. I thought they were dead. After Lizzie and Robbie calmed me down, I was soo grateful that the universe kept them here. I don't know what I would do if they didn't make it. We're currently waiting for Y/N in the living room. They companied their brother to the car for some time alone. Lizzie keeps teasing Scarlett, making her face red as the Scarlet Witch. "So I bet you're just waiting for us to leave," Lizzie says, smirking. "Liz, we haven't even gone on a date yet. First, some dates then we'll see." Scarlett replies, grabbing her glass of wine. "I'm going to check on Y/n/n while yall continue this." Poor Robbie. "And I'm going for a snack, I don't need to hear this. They're basically my sibling." "I'll join you," Hunter adds, clearing his throat. I excused myself, hearing laugh and sorrys.

Robbie's POV:

As I go outside, I can smell nicotine and hear deep breaths from Y/N. I clear my throat to warn them that I'm here. "Robbie, nice to see you out here." They said, sniffing as if they'd been crying. "Of course, I came to check on you. How are you really?" I asked, earning a long deep sigh. "I don't know, Robbie. I feel too much right now. With the investigation and adjusting that I'm home, I really don't know. Maybe... a hint of afraid and paranoia." "Why is that? If you don't mind me asking." I replied. They take another swing of the cigarette as they think.

"The short answer is that after this deployment, I don't feel the same as when I left

"The short answer is that after this deployment, I don't feel the same as when I left. I'm not the same person as before." "Well of course, you're not. You were just in a warzone with your survival mode on 24/7. That added to your PTSD. Take it day by day." I replied, comforting them. "Plus you have Nicole, Elena, Me, Lizzie, Dan, Fernando, and now Scarlett to talk to when you need to. " When I mention Scarlett, their smile widens even more. "So when are you going to ask Scarlett on a date? Because the amount of teasing the girls are doing right now to Scarlett will get worse the more you wait." I asked. "Oh god." They blush. "Let's go in before they scare her." They added, putting the cigarette out.

Scarlett's POV:

Lizzie just continues with the teasing "Oh also make sure you get a wheelchair for aftercare." "LIZZIE MOTHER OLSEN" "oh shit." I hear Nicole and Lizzie say. "Stop teasing her, you're going to scare her. But it's true, love." They say, sitting next to me. "God, you're like the real Tony Stark with that ego," I replied. "ROASTED" I hear Nicole yell from my kitchen. "Not Tony Stank, they have a love/hate relationship with Tony. RDJ though is a different story." Nicole adds, walking in with snacks and her drink. I just stare at Y/N's side profile. 'Goddamn it, Lizzie was right' I thought. "Stop drooling and help me prepare dinner, Scarlett." Lizzie comments. "Your Wanda is showing, Liz," I replied, annoyed. Y/N's laugh makes me shiver. 'Shit, I have to change now.' I thought to myself. "I'll join you in a bit, Liz. I'm going to change into something comfortable." "Ok, but hurry up." I hear her.

Normal POV:

After Scar headed to change, I asked Lizzie where the guest room was, earning confused looks from her. "I really need to get out of this uniform, it's full of sand and sweat. So please where's the guest room." "Well, Scarlett said that you'll be sharing her room." I can hear her smirk forming. But now I'm freaking out and my mind disappears. "What? No. I can't." "You can use my bathroom, I'll show you when it's at." Nicole quickly adds. "Thank you and let Scarlett know that I'll pass on the offer," I say, leaving to go take a shower. "Thank you, angel." "No problem, y/n/n. Are you planning to sleep on a bed or floor?" Nicole kindly asks. "Floor." "Well, the extra pillows and blankets are in that closet," Nicole added, walking out. "Thank you." I hear a hum as Nicole responds. 'This is going to hurt.' I thought as I undressed.
