Gone

11.

Amoura sleeps through the plane ride and once she reaches ground she is lead to the barracks passes out on a bunk by the doors.

She was to drained to walk to the back to her private room, almost dying can do that to a person. She would have slept through the night and 'till morning if it weren't for all the chattering.

"I'm one of those Squad Leaders, I'll be observing your training and within your time here you'll be placed in one of the four front lines units that are stationed here," Stone interrupts the barracks S.L as she sways over to them, apparently the blood loss still has the better of her.

"Normally I'd introduce myself as you arrive but considering I almost died three days ago, I'm exhausted. Okay just remember you being in here doesn't mean you have been assigned to a unit it just means you are being trained in that specialty," She address the new recruits.

"For now you'll be here with my unit." She points to females in her unit who were laying on their beds. Stone excuses herself and takes her things to her new room.

Stone wakes up hungry for breakfast the next day, after a checkup she eats her fill at the cafeteria with Williams, "hey you two are the Captains who took down Captain Loki's rogue plans right?" Williams showcases a cocky smirk and says yea. "so who's Stone?"

"We'll considering Stone is female, I'm going to go with the one with lacking a penis," Williams comments as Stone hits her Co S.L with an apple.

"Sorry, all we heard Stone was the bad-ass S.L took down humans left and right in the streets of San Antonio," S.L Row sits down to talk with them.

"Yet taken down by a Captain with a weird sword," Stone mutters as she eats. "We heard that too." Two more S.Ls walk up to the table.

"I'm Row and this is my partner Coon. We are Captain Lance's S.L's. We have the same General as your Captain." Williams shakes their hands first before Coon asks to join them at the table.

Row and Coon share their war stories since this was Williams and Stones first real battle experience, according to Row and Coon that was calm compared to what has been happening all over the States.

"I can't believe someone would go off script like that," Row comments as he looks at him food, "some people change in the face of trail." Coon speaks up as Amoura listens and eats.

"What do you think made him turn that way?" Row asks them, "maybe the lack of power broke him."

Williams speaks up, "no, he must have was always been like that he just needed opportunity to take charge," Stone looks at him.

"That doesn't necessarily have to be true, you be surprise at the smallest things that can break a person."

Williams looks ar her seriously, "so who broke you?" Amoura gives him her msot serious expression and tone, "Ricardo."

"Ricardo?" She nods before doing a off handed plagiarism of the movie The Vow. "Wow really?" Williams asks.

"No you idiot. I changed because I wanted too." Coon and row fall into a fit of laughter.

"Damn it Stone! Why aren't you ever serious with me?" She raises an eye brow, "why am I never serious?!" Amoura counters.

"You always either give me literal anwsered or sarcastic one, it wouldn't kill you to be honest!" Amoura looks at him amused, "considering the fact that I almost died for giving my honest observation, shows it can kill me." Williams makes a face as he sits back down.

He throws her a piece of bread and she catches it, "see this is why you're always hungry." She throws it back and it hits his eye.

After breakfast Amoura heads into town to stock up on her supplies. She returns when Captain Granger sends for her.

"Observe the recruits training and start picking out new Rook, we need to be prepared for our next departure." Stone nods and takes the clip board full of the new Rooks names.

"Give me your recommendations as soon as possible," Amoura nods and heads to the fields, among the Rooks was an old familiar face, "Stone." Shaw mutters bitterly, still angry about the ring scene.

Shaw smiles and looks at the instructor, "I know who I want to sparr against." The instructor nods and picks up her clip board, "Stone." She looks over the names and Stone smiles.

"Oh I'm not on the list, you see I'm not a Rook," Stone leans back and crosses her legs, "I'm here to observe, my Captain wants new Rooks and as his S.L it's my job to recommend him some Rooks."

She wages her hand, "so ignore me and continue your training session." Amoura grabs her clip board and looks over the names, she skimmed right through Shaw's name, didn't even see it.

Amoura doesn't look up as another S.L approaches, "you here to scout to Coon?" He smiles and shrugs, "Row doesn't have the patience for this kind of stuff. Any one stand out yet?"

Amoura looks at him and points wirh her eyes to the girl who hasn't missed a a block, "fast eyes." Amoura nods at Coons words.

Amoura watches the training and only sees a handful of Rooks she'd be willing to recommend.

"Hey, you got your town pass!" Stone looks up and sees Row behind her, she raises the pass from her jacket, "yeah this morning." He breaks into a smile, "let's all head to the beach! Come on." Stone watches him run off, "it's like being around another Williams."

Row runs off, "how are you doing," he looks at her chest, "perfect, who doesn't want a piece of metal threatening to stab their heart?"

"They still won't take it out?" Amoura sighs and explains they think it's to dangerous to do so, "they're hoping it will travel back instead if side ways. So no force to the chest for now." Amoura sighs and sits back down.

"They'll find a good course of action just be patient," Amoura laughs, "if only I was the patient type." Coon smiles amused, they return to watching the recruits.

By the end of the month Row and Coon and Williams and Stone had become friends. So within the next few months each time they were deployed and stationed together they'd catch up. Grangers squad went from two days in California to spending three weeks in New York trying to get humans out of Supernatural zones. Once the proper barriers arrived they were able to return to California.

Amoura joins Williams and the guys for breakfast Monday morning. "Whats up with you?" Row asks.

"Impending deaths, you?" She asksnas she sits down, "oh calm down they're remove the metal eventually." Amoura waves Coons words away, "so beach day? Our squads are training with the recruits today so we're free."

"We're nit free today the Captain tells us who he picked from the recommendation lists I gave him. We need to get them use to working with lut unit."

Before Williams can complain the base siren goes off signaling for all units to meet up at the quad. "Listen up, Japan has gone into a state of emergency, Captains find your generals and they will tell you what you're unit is assigned to. Everyone deploys by tonight! Dismissed!"
