Heart Shaped Box - A Soap MacTavish x Reader story

Dark Waters

~1St Person POV~

Before I knew it, we were all heading to the oil rig where the missile was supposedly located. I was told to go with Ghost's group because Graves would be going with Alejandro, Soap, and some other shadows. Ghost placed a hand on my shoulder "We need to clear this ship just in case there are cartel members crawling anywhere." I nodded and looked dead ahead. I could feel anxiety building up inside of me. Even though I've been in the special ops for some time, I still get nervous about my missions.

While I was mid thought, I felt a slap on my back. I looked up and saw Ghost standing next to me "Get up Angel, we need to go up." I quickly stood up and used the ascender. As we got up, we saw a shit ton of shipping containers. I let out a groan and grabbed my gun. We had to gun it past the containers or else we would be squished. I saw a room like structure on the side and ran into it. I set up my gun and started to shoot at the cartel. After I helped clear deck I ran towards the control center.

In the background I heard Soap and Graves yelling. I turned my head for a second then all of a sudden I felt something hit me in the arm. I let out a yell and looked down. I saw that there was a bullet imbedded in my arm. A cartel guy ran at me so I grabbed my knife and chucked it at his throat. When his body collapsed I pulled my knife out of his throat and cleaned it off. I heard another pair of footsteps behind me and I quickly spun around, only to be face to face with soap. He gently grabbed my arm and looked at me with an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry Lass, I didn't mean to distract ye..but we have to get into the control room." I gave him a nod then he grabbed a piece of his shirt and ripped it off. He quickly tied it around my arm and placed a quick kiss on my masked face.

Graves ran up to us and told Soap to place the breacher on the door. After Soap placed it we moved out of the way. The door busted open and we rushed inside. We took out the cartel that were crawling all over the damn place. We made it to a room that had some stairs. I bolted up the stairs and threw a flash. After about three seconds I pushed in and started to shoot at the cartel. They boys came in after me and started to set up so they could destroy the missile and the oil rig. I grabbed my radio and tried to contact Alejandro.
"Colonel, you need to get the hell out of there. We're taking out that damn rig with the missile."
"Copy that hermana ." After I got a hold of him I sat next to the wall to hold my arm. I looked up for a second and saw the missile hit the rig.
"Holy shit! That was crazy man!" I heard Alejandro yell. I smiled but then looked back down at my arm. Graves approached me and gently held my arm.
"Let me help you Angel, you can ride back with me so my shadows can patch you up, ok?" I looked over at Soap and he gave me a nod.
"I'll go with you guys then, thank you Graves."

After we got back to shore I got into Grave's car and sat next to his medic who started to tend to my wound. After around 20 minutes they patched me up. I could see Alejandro's base approaching. Before we drove all the way in we came to a halt at the gates. Graves stepped out and looked over at me.
"I'll only be a minute doll, don't step out, ok?" I had a confused look on my face but I watched as he approached Alejandro. I got out of the car despite the medic begging for me not to go.

"This is the immediate future, step away from the gate." After I heard Graves say that I knew something was wrong. I placed my hand over a knife that was strapped on my leg. Alejandro looked at Graves with a confused look "You're crazy, this is my base." Graves looked back at soap then at Alejandro "it's not a base. This is a sizable covert facility and I admire it. So, I'm taking it. You boys have been relieved. Thank you for your service." Alejandro cleared his throat and shook his head. "No, no, no. I don't take orders from you." Graves bit his lip "Didn't Valeria say that? Now that makes me wonder what else I don't know about your affiliation with a drug-lord?" Alejandro stepped forward "What the fuck did you just say to me Pendejo?" before Alejandro could reach graves, Soap gently grabbed his shoulder and walked forward towards Graves. "You're out of line, Graves-" Before soap could finish Graves interrupted him "Don't do that. Don't... do that. No one needs to get hurt here."

Ghost looked over at Graves and spoke with his usual stern tone "Are you threatenin' us?" Graves looked over at Ghost "Soldier, I don't make threats. I make guarantees. So let's not do this." Soap turned around and headed to the car. "I'm callin' Shepherd-" once again Graves interrupted him "General Shepherd sends his regards. Told me y'all wouldn't take this well." Ghost let out a scoff "He knows about this?" Graves nodded "He's put me in command of this operation from here on out. So, y'all need to stand down and let the pros finish this. And why the hell are we talking like this is some kind of a negotiation? It's not. I've got my orders and now you have yours." Graves turned back and saw me right next to the car. He let out a silent "shit" before yelling out. "Angel! I told you to stay in the damn car!" Alejandro grunted, making Graves turn his head. "And who the fuck do you think you are cabrón? My men are inside!" Graves grinned at him "I'm afraid not. Your men have been... detained."

Before I knew it Alejandro attempted to attack Graves before he was shoved into the side of the car and restrained. They knocked him out. Soap grabbed his gun and yelled "Graves what the fuck?!" Some of the shadows started to shoot at Soap. I quickly drew my knife and got behind one of the shadows on my side of the car and sliced his neck. I grabbed out my gun and started to shoot at the shadows who were shooting at Soap. I saw Ghost take out the other shadows that were next to him. Before I could attack Graves, one of his shadows tackled me to the ground. Graves looked back at us and yelled at his shadow "Knock her out before she gets back up!" I couldn't react in time and got a gun slammed into my head. I could hear Soap faintly yell out my name before I fell unconscious.
