Call of Duty: Ghost

07

Axle stared ahead out at the ocean not caring the salt water hit her face aggressively. She could feel eyes on her, tilting her head she stares into the bright blueish green eyes of Ghost. She never saw his eyes up close although it was because they were always at arms length but the last couple hours, she had taken notice he was slowly standing close to her.

"Like what you see Ghosty?", she smirked as he rolled his eyes with a grunt. She shook her head with a small chuckle but the boat crashed through a wave causing her to slide off her seat but was caught by Ghost who tensed and she knew why, her left hand was on his thigh as her other hand was in his skull covered gloves, she raised an eyebrow at the sharp intake of breath that he took,
"Right...uh oops", she muttered getting back in her spot but frowned when he hadn't let go of her hand, instead he was looking close at the scars that were their which she wasn't trying to hide it.
He looked like a child as he placed their hands together and just like she expected her hands was small compared to his large ones,

"It's not that interesting", she softly said pulling her hand away.

Axle turned her head back to look forward as they were approaching. Ghost and her along with some shadows would be heading to a ship on the outside of the oil rig while Alejandro, Soap and cocky ass Graves were to actually be on the oil rig itself.

Axle muttered in Spanish which the whole boat went silent turning to her. Alejandro frowned,
"Hermosa...", he softly says. Axle opened her eyes to look at them,
"What?", she raised an eyebrow as Alejandro gave her the soft look any father would give a child,
"We got you", he said as her shoulders sagged, "we got each other".

Axle nodded silently her gaze shifting to Ghost who held his hand out, she eyes it quietly as the others were shocked,
"Simon Riley", his British accent thickened.

Axle smiled softly,
"Axle Valhalla", she placed her hand in his skull gloves ones.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

"Eyes on the rig", Soap speaks as they look ahead and sure enough their it was coming into plain view,

"All right! That's our target. Shadows 1 and 2- push to your hook points. Let's invite ourselves in", Graves says as they hopped off the boats and climbing up the ladder to the oil rig.

Axle pulls her knife out and sneaks up behind a man killing him with ease, giving a nod to Ghost.
"Clear", she said as they crept through.
She slowly followed after Ghost who stopped as they see flares in the sky.
"Shadow-1. Ghost, visual on flares coming from the rig! What's your status, over?", he kept his eyes ahead hearing grunts, he turned to see Axle had taken down two men.

"Ghost, Axle, they're signaling the ship, they're gonna launch that missiles!", Soap yelled.

Axle raised her M4 as the time was shortening, they didn't have much longer till the missile would reach the final stage and launch. She shot a couple men down who fired at them. Ghost was in his own world taking down any men he saw head at them,
"Ghost the controls are on the ship", she yelled as he pressed comms,
"All stations! Visual on the missile controls! I say again, missile controls are on the bridge", he motioned for Axle to head towards him.

Soap along with Graves were headed towards the ship they were on so that they could disarm the missile.

"Ghost, Axle, this is 0-1! Back to the water. Inbound to your position", Graves yells.
