I was awaken by being shaken, I turned on my side and started coughing water up

"Hey" Mitchell said, I looked at him and saw him drenched

"Thanks" I choked out, he smiled

"No problem" he replied before helping me stand up, Joker ran over. Joker and Gideon were talking.

"Drinks on me tonight" Gideon said as I leant on Mitchell's side

"Never drowned before huh?" Gideon asked

"And you have?" I asked making him chuckle.

I sat in my room staring at my gun that sat on the table while I sat on my bed, I stood up slowly and picked it up having another look at it. I ran my fingers across it with my eyes closed. I put it down opening my eyes and listening to the guys yell in the next room about how the mission went; we were waiting for Irons to release the Atlas ad with us in it. I sat back onto my bed cross legged

"Gideon told me you did good today" I heard Irons' voice say, I looked up and saw him standing at the door smiling. I looked down

"How long you been there?" I asked as he sat down at the table

"Long enough to know something is bothering you" he said, I looked up at him

"Nah, just tired I suppose" I said, he chuckled

"I had a son, Jaelyn." He said, I smiled

"Well I guess you can see through all my lies than" I said making hum chuckle

"Did I really kill people today?" I asked as I got tears in my eyes, he frowned as he got up and sat next to me.

"They're bad people" he said as I started to choke up

"Bad people or not, they're still humans" I said as he hugged me, I rested my head on his shoulder as if he wasn't a guy from a video game but like he was my father. It felt like he was, I don't know why but I felt safe around him and the guys.

"It'll be ok" he said, I sniffed and wiped my tears away

"Now let's go watch the ad with the others" he said, I smiled and we walked into the guy's room.

It was up to me where I threw the guy into the pole

"Did you see that?" Joker asked

"Damn that girl is good" he said laughing, I raised my eyebrows. Gideon looked at me smiling as I stood in the door way listening to Joker

"Oh you think my ass is good looking huh?" I asked, he turned to me with a red face making me laugh. I rolled my eyes and walked in with Irons. They all stood up and looked at him as I rolled his eyes.

I sat next to Mitchell on his bed resting my head on his shoulder as Irons talked about losing Will, I held Mitchell's hand knowing he lost his best friend.
