Roach awoke the next day exhausted, the rush of infiltrating the Dreadnaught was still fresh in his mind, and so were the nightmares. Roach had a close call when the stealth drives failed him, and he knew today would have another suicide mission in store for him. To his surprise, Agony never did come knocking on his door, nor did Cayde. When Roach checked the time it was two in the afternoon, something was wrong. Roach slowly got out of bed and prepared for the day. Whoever made Exo's feel pain is an idiot. Roach thought to himself as he made his way to the top of the tower while rolling his shoulder. The few guardians he ran into on the Tower gave him a pat on the back of just cheered his name. Roach entered he hall of Guardians, per usual Zavala, Ikora, and Cayde were all present.
"Cayde, where's Agony?" Roach asked as he looked around the room to make sure she wasn't hiding.
"She's on Earth hunting. Hey since you're up go down to the Forgotten Shore, I just told Agony to head over there."
"What's so special there?"
"We need new stealth drives, and Rasputin is where I got them in the first place."
"You tell Agony what you're making her do?"
"Nope, she already knew when I called her up. Now get moving guardian, come back with some stories." Cayde ordered as he gave Roach a wink. Roach made his way down to the Forgotten Shore.
Meanwhile down on Earth Agony was waiting for Roach. A sparrow sped by while honking it's horn madly, Agony rolled her eyes. Some of these guardians were so childish. The sparrow swung back around and stopped in front of Agony. Agony looked at the guardian before her, she remembered that armor, it was Cooper.
"Long time no see bitch." Cooper greeted holding his hand out to Agony.
"Well I'll be damned, it's the blind man." Agony teased while taking Coopers hand and pulling herself up to stand. "What brings you to Earth?"
"River and Jake have left me... I can't imagine why."
"I can, you're s short tempered piece of shit that tells everyone to suck a dick when they prove you wrong and you can't take advice from anyone else."
"Ouch..."
"Takes one to know one Cooper." Agony admitted
"So what are you doing here? On a mission? You are the Vanguards favorite knight."
"I am actually, going into Rasputin. We could probably use a titan such as yourself. Can you bubble?"
"Yeah, I've been practicing." Cooper said as he took a step back and raised both of his arms up. A purple bubble appeared around both him and Agony who nodded in approval. The sound of a sparrow got louder as the two turned around. Roach pulled up alongside the duo.
"Cooper." Roach said bluntly.
"Roach."
"Okay Roach, we're heading up the hill. That's actually where our first mission was.... I'd rather not remember that." Agony said as she began walking, "let's go you two!" Roach was surprised at the words 'you two', he knew this meant Cooper was coming with them, and he was not excited about that. The last time they worked together Cooper wanted to leave Agony to die. In Roach's eyes, Cooper had no loyalty, he only wanted to glory. Once at the top of the hill the trio made there way down into Rasputin's bunker.
"Cayde I haven't had much luck breaking Rasputin's security," Tenebra said worried, Rasputin was known to protect his domain, many a guardian went missing after Zavala ordered them to explore the warmind.
"You have the same bypass frequency that got me inside," Cayde responded calmly.
"How did you get that anyways?" Agony asked
