-time skip about 7 years- (also, im aware that the mission in this doesn't exactly match up, dont mind that- my memory is shocking and i dont really remember it so i'm making it up)
Your POV
It was an average day on the compound, me and the team were in the training room. some were on the mats, sparring. others were just working out on the equipment, listening to music or talking to each other.. me and my best friend, melissa, were just chatting as we worked out on treadmills.
i had changed a lot over the past couple of years. i had gotten a few tattoos. one on my thigh, which was a skull with roses coming out the eyes and one clenched in its mouth, a sleeve on my left arm, which had random designs, one on the back of my neck, it was a medusa tattoo, and one on my right wrist which had the numbers '141'.
i was so grateful they had found me that day. i wouldn't be where i am today if it wasn't for them. i wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for them.
i had also gained a few scars over the years. one going across my face, making my eye have a nasty gash on it. thankfully i didnt go fully go blind. it was a horrible experience. it took months of healing and ages of care. but it looks pretty cool in the end.
as me and friend were running on the treadmills, talking, our captain walked into the room, announcing we had 30 minutes before we were needed in the briefing room. There were rumours, that a team was going on an important mission but i had never thought it would had been ours. as our team were known as the ones who always goofed about on missions, never taking it seriously.
i say my goodbyes to my friend as i turn off the treadmill. i was extremely sweaty from the workout, so i had decided to take a shower, and get into some proper uniform. most of my teammates had the same idea. i wave and say goodbye as i leave the training room, making my way threw the hallways. as i make my way towards my room i fumble with my keys.
i enter the hallway where the rooms were. i eventually get to my room, unlocking the door. i step inside and close the door. i throw my keys on my desk as i walk past it. i walked over to the laundry basket, taking off my clothes form the workout, i chuck them in there once i was finished. i walk to my bathroom and turn on the shower. i wait for it to hit the perfect temperature before stepping in.
--------------------------------------------------------
After my shower, i dried myself off and went to get changed .I was now in some black cargos, beige boots, a black shirt and a black cargo jacket. i grab my keys, pocketing them. i make sure i have my phone before leaving the room. my hair was up in a slick back ponytail, having no bumps or wispy bits. after i lock my door i turn around to see melissa waiting for me.
"Hope i didn't keep you long." i say with a smile. i walk over to her and link my arm through hers.
"i was waiting for 29 hours. you took so long" she says with a dramatic sigh, soon transitioning into a giggle. we had been best friends since training, eventually getting into the same team, we stayed by each others side. when we met we just clicked. we had absolutely nothing in common, but we just understood each other.
i laugh with her and start walking through the hallway with her, arms still linked. " I wonder what the missions about" i wonder out loud. opening the door that separated the rooms, from the rest of the compound. allowing Melissa to exit first, walking after her.
"i heard its something to do with Cartel." Melissa replies back to my though, earing a hum from me as we make our way towards the debriefing room, as we had 5 minutes to get there.
"We have to little of a group to do a cartel take down." i say after a minute of thinking. "we'd have to be mixed with another group, or a separate one all together." i say as i look at her.
"maybe." she says with a shrug as she glances at me. "c'mon were going to be late" she says as she starts to speed walk.
i glace down to my watch that sat on my wrist. we had a minute "oh shit" i say as i show her the time. we quickly break out into a run as we run through the halls to where the debriefing rooms were. We open the doors to the hallway and run to where we were told our room was. we see our other teammates walking into the room. i stop running and break into a walk when i get to the door, turning my head, seeing Melissa panting as she stood just behind me. we enter the room and take a seat at the back of the room, as they were the only seats left.
Soon our captain ,Elizabeth, had walked in the room with some files. "Thank you for getting here so quickly" she says as she side eyed me and melissa, earing a weary smile from me. "i'm sure your all aware about the mission. Luckily we were selected to participate in this mission. the reason why? not a clue." she says with a smile, earing a few laughs from us. she clicks a few buttons on the iPad that was on the table and soon, the screen behind her lights up with a mans face, information flooding the screen. "This is Hassan Zyani. He's a major in Iran's Quds Force. He was seen a few days ago crossing the Mexican border. His forces had attacked some of the military there." she says as she swaps to another slide, showing 6 faces. my face dropped as i recognised 4.
"We've been assigned by Kate Laswell to this mission. two groups we'll be working with us. TF141 and Los Vaqueros. We'll be departing here at 6 am tomorrow. We'll arrive in las almas about 3pm, driving to their compound, where we will meet them around 3:30. any questions?" Elizabeth asks. no hands shown "alright, get ready and get a good night sleep. see y'all bright and early" she says as she dismisses us, walking out the room. people start leaving the room, heading back to their barracks.
melissa stood up about to walk away when she looked back at me. i was frozen in my spot, eyes pointed towards the ground. i didnt know how to react. i was going to see them again. i was absolutely shitting myself. I think melissa realised this because soon, her crouched figure appeared in front of me. she grabbed my hand and slightly shook them.
"Y/N?" i hear her say, it was slightly mumbled as i couldn't really hear. she knew of my history with 141, as sometimes i would ramble on about them. she know i had grew up with them just before i went into training . she reached her hand up to my face and wiped a piece of hair out the way of my face. "y/n? can you hear me?" i hear her say again in a softer tone, i shift my eyes to meet her gaze. she gives me a small smile.
"are you okay?" she asks me. my head slightly shook. i was shaking and i wasn't ready for this. i hadn't heard a single thing about them in about 7 years. and now i was going to see them tomorrow. i felt melissa shake me. "come on, ill take you to your room." she says.
she stands up, before helping me up. my legs felt weak and i think she knew that. we walked slowly out of the room, closing it behind us as we were the last ones that had left. we walked slowly towards the exit of the hallway. i had melissa's arm wrapped around my arm as she softly stroked it with her thumb. it took us a little longer then usual before we made it to the hallway that led us to the rooms.
she opened the door before letting me in after her. we walk towards my room. i put my hand in my pockets and hand her my keys. she grabs the key that unlocked my bedroom and opened it. she walked me to my bed. she smiled at me and gave my hand a squeeze before leaving. she stated something about getting ready for tomorrow. i didnt really pay attention due to the fact i was still freaking out. i had told her years ago that if i ever freaked out, to just leave me be as i had a bad reaction if i was pestered too much.
after a good few minutes, i decided to just get ready for the mission tomorrow. i grabbed my black duffel bag and placed it on my bed. i sigh and rub a hand over my face. i turn around and go over to my closet. i knew Mexico was a very hot country so i decided to back my thinnest cargo's and some black/sage green shirts. i start packing the rest of my essentials and eventually finish.
after about an hour of it i place the bag on top of the ottoman that sat at the end of my bed. i grab my vest and set it up on the floor, leaning up against the wall. i undressed from the outfit of the day and got into my pyjamas, brushing my air before putting it in a messy bun and getting into bed. i stared at the ceiling for what felt like hours before setting my alarm for 5. i close my eyes and start to drift off to sleep.
the last thought running through my mind was having to see them again.
