Feeling the impossible

Just following orders

Root's POV :

I was kinda apprehensive about this mission at first,but I would do anything She asked me to.I was deep undercover when the machine called in reinforcements.It was now or never and it didnt hurt to have team machine close.Although i wasnt fond of the idea of sleeping with the number,i was following orders and now i know why.Turns out he's the perp.Apparently apart from being lousy in bed and rough in all the wrong ways,he had a kink for shooting his partners dead right after he..well you know.Huh,maybe we should name this one the praying mantis.
I didnt always have a problem with sleeping with a number ,i was just following orders after all.At least that's what i keep telling myself to feel a little in control and not to feel somewhat disgusted i suppose,I just block it out.But knowing Sameen would be next door and listening made me nervous for some reason.Yet it was comforting knowing my little sociopath would be next door if i needed her.I can handle this fool dont get me wrong,but i do enjoy our little badass girls run the world routine.
Just as he pulled the gun out on me,i kneed him in the misters and flipped him around so that i could wrap his arm the wrong way round as i took his weapon from him.We struggled for about half a minute before he pulled out a spare gun .We both fired our weapons,thankfully he was at an awkward angle and only got my arm.He however ,wasnt so lucky as the bullet hit him right between the eyes.

The next thing i know,the door was kicked in by none other than my compact fierce little sociopath who looked around murderously. Upon seeing the number on the floor,she sighed and holstered her weapon looking up at me
"Couldnt leave me any of the fun huh" she half joked before a look of realisation dawned upon her and her eyes widened.
"Okay not what i meant" She tried to glare at me as i raised my eyebrow in amusement .
"Oh sweetie,it was so sweet of you to come to my aid,oh and youre right,why do guys think its fun when they get rough all wrong" i teased whimsically.
She looked at me puzzled for a moment before squinting "wait hold on,you were lis- you had your earwig in the whole time?"
She shook her head in disbelief as i nodded.
"Well i wasnt exactly enjoying myself sweetie ,i have more fun listening to your sweet voice whispering in my ear" i flirted as she scoffed and rolled her eyes at me."you know sweetie,you should be careful,i was starting to think you might have been a little jealous" i said with a wink. As shaw gave me her best "im going to end you" glare and opened her mouth in retort,i took a step forward before wincing.
It was a slight movement but Shaw noticed.Her eyes immediately darted to my arm as she rushed towards me and removed my jacket.
"You got shot?!" Her voice louder than it was a minute ago.
"Is she alright Ms Shaw?" Harold said in our earwigs.
"How did i not see this straight away" Shaw cursed under her breath.
"Well my badass black jacket sorta hides it well,and i was facing it the other way"
"Still" she frowned inspecting the wound "I should have-"
"Isnt youre fault Sameen" i whispered softly.
I felt her hand tense for a second and i held my breath expecting her to walk away.Instead she looked up at me "You shouldnt have gotten shot i should have been in here and killed the son of a -"
"Sameen,as much as i love the idea of a 3 way with you" i teased watching the corner of her mouth turn a little as she tried to hide it."Im alright,really.Thanks for having my back" i continued the last part quietly looking away,partly afraid i had gone too far.
"Always Root" a whisper so quiet i wasnt sure if i had imagined it. I looked at surprise Shaw in surprise and she looked thoughtfully back at me.
Clearing his throat from the corner ,Reese stepped forward. "We should get back to the subway where Shaw can get a better look at that" he said gruffly gesturing to my arm.
"Im alright guys" I took another step and grabbed my ribs with my good arm."okay that may be bruised but im okay"
"Oh come on" Shaw said putting her arm on my waist so that i could lean on her.
It was a simple gesture,but it made my heart do a lunge in my chest.
