Reaper and the rest of the team reached the med lab, where he laid Arora on the gurney and starts pulling off her vest, but she stopped him," please ..... Do Goat, John... G....". Her eyes fluttered closed but he saw that she was still breathing so he rushed to Goat and tried to revive him. Goats pulse kept disappearing. Defibbing didn't work either, they tried their best but Goat was gone.
Reaper ripped Goats dog tag off his neck and pocketed it.
He ran to Aroras side an seen that her chest wasn't moving,"Ro.." He shouted which caught his teams attention. Duke ran first an checked her pulse, their was nothing. Reaper took her tank top off which left her in her sports bra," give me the fucken adrenaline Sam....Ro come back!", he snapped. Sam handed him the shot which he stabbed it in her chest releasing the liquid compound.. They waited to see if her pulse would spike but nothing happened. "Fuck, we're gonna defib", he defibbed her and her heart spiked but dropped. He had The Kid crank up the volume and defibbed her which her heart spiked and grew steady.
He signed in relief and had Sam bring a blanket and covered her with it.
Sam watched as her brother pushed a strand of hair from the woman's face an placed his forehead next to hers. She hasn't seen her brother act like that towards someone even though she hadnt seen him for ten years!

Sarge asked Reaper of her condition which he replied with," she's stable, we just have to see how she is when she wakes". Reaper held her hand as Sarge asked his sister what the fuck was going on up there.
His sister looked confused about it, which led to Sarge showing her just what the hell happened.
Samantha screamed which Aroras body twitched to Reapers surprise, he watched as her eyes fluttered open," Ro, can you hear me baby?" He said which he didn't care if she heard him call her baby. He almost lost her and he damn well won't let it happen again.
My whole body hurted, my lungs were soar, but my heart thumped loud as I heard John call me baby, that was shocking enough!
She could hear Sarge asking Samantha if there were any other entrances but before she could respond Reaper beat her to it," the door to the archeological dig".

Sarge them checked their ammo as Reaper helped Arora to sit up which caused her to wince.
"I think you should lay down and rest, your not in any condition to move. Your lungs collapsed", Reaper said as he checked her over. Arora being the stubborn girl that she is said that she was fine and threw her tanktop and her vest back on," I'm fine John.. Thank you but I'm not staying here and waiting for you boys to come back. I'm a marine Ive handled worse". She responded as she shouldered her weapon.

Reaper shook his head an watched as his team filed out leaving Sam to work on the creature," I know I just... I just ...". Arora stood their waiting for him to continue but her surprised motive caught her off guard, she kissed Reaper deeply, which caused him to wrap his arm around her waist and push her up against the wall. She broke apart from him as they both breathed heavily.

"Wh....what was that for?" He asked shocked with what just happened.
"I guess you can say, I'm feeling something tugging and cracking my hearts cold exterior and now I understand why... I'm... I'm in love with you John and ive been trying to understand what it means because I've never felt love in years. And you've always been there for me even though I've hurt you many times and said some things but you were still fighting to help me!" She rambled which made John chuckle and kiss her lips to stop her from rambling," I feel the same way, I jus wanted to wait till you were ready. I've cared about you since what happened all those years ago"! She smiled and for the first time since the accident; it felt so right to do.

They shouldered their weapon and walked out following after Sarge and Mac and they were heading to the archaeological dig.

The dig was empty with rocks and it was a bit dark to see anything, so they stood on guard. Reaper kept checking on Arora which she didn't notice and glad she didn't cause things were just fine with them and he didn't want her raging on him. Especially when she was still injured with a collapsed lung but promised him she was fine.
Arora looked at Sarge for instructions and with a signal she advanced forward. Keeping very low, and kept her guard up at all times, she didn't want another surprise attack. Arora headed up a small hallway, and all she saw was dust, dirt, rocks and of course more rocks...
She could hear someone walking up behind and knew that it was Sarge as she suddenly stopped which caused him to bump into her. "There's two more bodies". She stated.
Two very dead scientists lay on the floor one feet to the door and they're emotion was terrifying.
Reaper made his way to them as Sarge spoke ," look at them, they weren't stopping something from getting in, something stopped them from getting out!" Arora shook her head and though to herself 'can't this shit get any more interesting'. She just didn't know that she was just about to find out how more dangerously the creatures are!!!!!
