The Only Honor (Based on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare)

Chapter 13- Weakling Turned Bad Ass

Picture is SOMETHING like Irons' place. ;)

"What the fuck are you doing, Keona?" Cormack came into the armory, steam coming out of his ears.

"Going out," I replied, adjusting my gloves to my Exo.

"You're putting Sentinel in harms way. Right in the open so Irons to see it! You can't go out," Cormack ordered.

"I won't give you away," I promised, picking up my secondary weapon- an HBRa3 with an ACOG scope and suppressor.

"If this is about Mitchell, we have the situation under control," Cormack spoke calmer this time. "You don't have to look for him."

"Yes I do, Cormack," I was arguing with my Commander....smart. "My best friend is out there somewhere and Irons could be killing him, torturing him. I know if I was in his place, he'd be doing the same thing as I." Cormack was silent and I added, "I can't let him be tortured, Cormack. We've both been through enough already."

Cormack was someone who had known Will, led him even. I could say things and he would know what I meant. He had seen the pain in Mitchell just as I did.

"How long are you expecting to be gone?" Cormack's tight shoulders relaxed just slightly.

"I don't know," I admitted. "As long as it takes to get him back."

"Which won't take you long," Gideon's voice made me look past Cormack to where he was walking in. "We've tracked Mitchell's location."

As Gideon swiped the screen, it updated my GPS on the wrist tablet I wore. Holding up my left arm, I looked at the map and zoomed up. It popped up in the air as I did this and I swiped it around until I saw a flashing green dot.

"I'm also uploading a threat detection, which will show you your enemies before they see you," Gideon swiped a few more things in my direction.

My gaze strayed from Gideon's as I looked at my wrist tablet. No one knew of the kiss we had shared in my dream two months ago. Yes, sadly-at least to me- it had been a dream and Gideon had avoided me ever since I had shared it with him, his attention on things related to Atlas or Sentinel. This was the first time he had spoken towards me in what seemed like forever.

"I'm going to fly you there with a pilot," Gideon squeezed the screen into a single stick-sized object and looked at me.

"You don't have to do that," I pleaded. The last thing I want is you near me.

"Too bad, I'm doing it anyways," Gideon had a gleam of amusement in his blue eyes when I groaned.

"If you aren't back in four hours, I'll be there," Cormack looked at us.

Gideon dipped his head and I blinked, walking past the two men to make my way to the Warbird. Shortly behind was Gideon, dressed in his uniform and Exo. He carried a weapon, but didn't look like he was completely ready to go along with me.

Unlike him, I wore white and gray waterproof clothes. Since Mitchell was located in a snowy place in Canada, I knew I would have to be warm. My clothes covered most of my skin, my only exposed area being the face.

"Mitchell will be heavily guarded," Gideon spoke, holding onto a bar and standing in the helicopter.

"I figured," I spoke loudly so he could hear me. "Let me guess, I'm going to have to either walk a long ways or drop from above."
