Simon's voice crackled urgently through the comms. "Sergeant Grey, status report! Are you hit?"
Ross's massive frame appeared ahead, providing cover fire as Blade sprinted towards the extraction point. His eyes widened behind his mask as he saw her condition.
"Fräulein Reign! You're injured!" he called out, his German accent thick with concern.
The extraction helicopter roared into view, hovering just above the ground. Simon's sniper fire kept the pursuing hostiles at bay, but their window of escape was rapidly closing.
As Blade reached the helicopter, Garen, Sab and Ross helped her aboard. The chopper lifted off just as a hail of bullets peppered its side.
Simon's eyes blazed with a mix of anger and relief behind his mask. "That was bloody reckless," he growled, his hands clenched tightly around his rifle.
The mission was complete, but at what cost? As the helicopter sped away from the compound, the team's attention turned to Blade's injuries and the data she had risked everything to obtain.
"I got the data!" She announced, her tone slightly lively just to lift the tension. Masking the pain from her injuries in a chuckling.
Simon and the rest of the team couldn't believe what they would feel. Anger and concern and amusement from Blade's actions.
As the helicopter sped away from the area, Blade silently suppressed the pain cursing through each of every part of her body. The jump was risky but the gun was deadly. She wanted to still live and succeed in the mission. She kept her eyes close not showing any pained expression in her face.
Simon's eyes remained fixed on Blade as the slight twitch of her brows, a clear sign that she's in great pain but never allowing it to be exposed to her team. Simon was so frustrated to watch how she keep it. His posture rigid with a mix of anger and concern. Garen hovered nearby, his large frame tense with worry.
"Medic!" Simon barked, his voice gruff. "Check her over, now."
As the medic approached, Blade's eyes remained closed, her jaw clenched tightly against the pain. The adrenaline was wearing off, making each movement a struggle. Her mind racing with the thoughts of her previous action. The geeling so strong that she's been doing such dangerous stunt before but she couldn't make out when and where. She had never tried to jump from heights before but the feeling was so familiar.
Simon leaned in close, his voice low and intense. "That was bloody reckless, Izy Grey. You could've gotten yourself killed."
Ross watched the exchange nervously, his eyes darting between Simon and Blade. "Fräulein Blade," he said softly, "you were... incredible out there. But please, let them help you."
Blade knew their concern and she deeply understand them. Her mind was in n whirlwind of confusion from her own action. Asking herself why she decided to do that. Blade looked at her friends. To Ross and then to Simon,
"I'll be fine. Don't worry..." She said softly, trying to console her worrying friends. But her words only caused them helpless and frustrated but accept.
"Well, what's done is done. Blade was still Blade..." Sab broke the silence.
The helicopter continued its journey back to base, the success of the mission overshadowed by concern for Blade's condition and the potential fallout from her risky decision.
Simon's eyes narrowed behind his mask, a mix of frustration and grudging admiration in his voice. "Aye, the intel's valuable. But your life's worth more than any bloody data, Blade."
Ross and Garen shifted uncomfortably, their large frame cramped in the helicopter. "Fräulein Blade, you were incredible, but... perhaps too reckless?" he ventured hesitantly, his German accent thick with concern. "Jah, don't do such a stunt again... Its very dangerous." Garen added.
The medic continued working on Blade's injuries, their movements careful and precise in the confined space. The tension in the air was palpable as the team grappled with the aftermath of the mission.
As the helicopter neared the base, Simon leaned in close, his voice low and intense. "We'll debrief once you're patched up. But this conversation isn't over, Izy Grey. You can't keep pulling stunts like this."
"I guess I need to prepare my ears later..." Blade joked, Simon shot her a warning gaze while Sab just let a chuckling.
