New Recruit

Chapter 4

You are woken up by Lera at approximately 4:15 AM, she tells you that you need to get up and dressed since the introduction class is in forty-five minutes. During training you are to refer to her as Finka and in private, whatever you want. You dress in your black fatigues, helmet held under your armpit, and Lera gives you a look of approval, happy that she got such a 'stimulating' charge.

You two hang around her room talking about what'll take place during training, cuddling and kissing every so often, when you check the time and realize you have to be at the meeting hall in less than five minutes. You and Lera book it to the hall, making it just on tine and getting strange looks from some people you can only assume are active-duty Rainbow members.

About thirty seconds after you all are gathered, a woman comes in who the operators call "Six" as she passes by. She approaches a podium that is raising from the floor and as it comes completely out of it's hole, she clears her throat and begins.

"Hello recruits, my name is Six and I am the current Deputy Director of Team Rainbow.  You are gathered here today because we believe you all are the best of the best and can be molded into our perfect agents, able to keep peace in a moment's notice. You all know the world is changing, terror groups ever more prevalent after the tragic events of 9/11. Most recently, ISIS and a mysterious cell of terrorists known as the White Masks have been committing acts of terror on American soil and beyond, the Masks supplying chemical weapons similar to those used in the training exercises you all will be subjected to. Sadly, we cannot train you more than six weeks before you receive an assignment and get sent off to work in the field with a small group of operators, so learn fast."

You look straight in this woman's eyes, and she seems to look straight back at you in a fashion that demands instant respect. Lera whispers into your ear that she'll be getting you onboard with her after the training because of all the fun you two can have.

Six continues, " Your mentors are responsible for your training and you WILL be ready to deploy in six weeks, no later. The white masks and the Islamic State must be stopped, and you all are our best chance."

You are then dismissed and Lera tells you to follow her to the range, since you were never given proper training besides a course that Keanu Reeves went through to prepare for the role of John Wick. You are given the task of clearing a room filled with enemies and hostages. The weapons you are given to choose from range from a M4A1 Rifle to the famous Kalashnikov classic, the AK-47. You choose a gun called the 'Honey Badger,' integrally suppressed, firing a 5.56 cartridge, attaching a vertical grip and acog with a reflex sight on top.  You also get the FNX Tactical pistol, modified to fire the powerful .338 Magnum cartridge.

After gearing up, you prepare to breach the room, grabbing a drone and driving it into the room. Inventorying said room, you see three hostiles and one hostage, you quickly mark them and look at the marks through the door, kicking it down and immediately nailing one with your primary as you pepper the second with your pistol in the other hand. After that you bum rush the last hostile with a knife, stabbing him hard enough to put the knife completely through his skull.

"Mission Completed!" you hear from your earpiece.

"What the fuck was that?!" You hear from someone with a Texan accent.

"Jordan calm the hell down, he neutralized the hostiles effortlessly." Lera said, defending me.

" You two had quite the romp last night, so I won't be taking your defence into account on this one, y/n I ask again, what the fuck was that?!" Jordan asks angrily.

Candidly, you reply, "Sir, I neutralized the threat effortlessly and without error, every round hit the terrorists and one lost his already nonexistent brain thanks to my krav-maga training. In layman's terms: I fucked em' royally."

A female french operator who was walking by hears this and stops to see what was going on.  "Thermite, what the hell did he do?"

Jordan/Thermite responds by showing her my helmet cam footage and the camera footage inside of the training.

"Holy shit he's good!" you hear her mutter after seeing you clear that room effortlessly.  "Lera, I gotta get a piece of this man!"

"That's up to him, but I don't mind sharing." Lera replies, winking at you. You hide a blush and say something along the lines of 'okay?'

The rest of the day is quite uneventful, with Thermite giving you an unending amount of shit for that one exercise.
