Rainbow Six Siege: A Ghost in the Shadows (Complete)

Chapter 11: New Members

The Next Morning (Your POV)

I rub my eyes and hold the side of my head due to a monster headache I've got from my hangover. As I'm holding my temples I feel movement on top of me and open my eyes to be met with a sleeping Caveira. I gently nudge her to try and wake her up, which she does moments later. She smiles at me and kisses my cheek. "Morning handsome~." My eyes widen as I quickly get out of bed to see her looking at me with a raised eyebrow. "Taina, what happened last night? I got really drunk so I remember absolutely nothing of the past 12 hours." Caveira gives me a sad look before flopping into her pillow and groaning. "I knew it was too good to be true. Well, you came to my dorm and kissed me and that's about it really. Can you leave me alone for a bit? I need to think about things." I walk over and pat her head, making her shoulders tense up before relaxing and moving her head closer to my hand. "Sorry, Taina. I'll go and have a nice calm talk with a certain American man. Since he loves making big fucking holes so much, I'm gonna rip him a new one. Bye, Taina." I hear her sigh as I close her door behind me to see Hibana smirking at me. "So, you've conquered the mighty beast and turned her into your one and only. Gotta say I'm pretty impressed dude. Not many men would even try flirting with her, much less try and bone her." I narrow my eyes at her before laughing slightly and walking down the hall, Hibana next to me. "It's not like that Yumiko. I got a bit drunk and apparently kissed her and that's about it. Unless she's lying so I don't feel bad or go nuts and try and kill Jordan or both, which is more likely." Both of us laugh as we push open the double doors to the cafeteria and see the Russians in the corner talking to a woman with a scar across her face, all of them looking completely unaffected from last night. Rook is trying to stop an argument between Doc and another GIGN member who was wearing a balaclava while Jackal and Thermite both have their heads on the table, coffee next to them and groaning as if they're dying. I grab a coffee while Hibana grabs a cup of green tea and both of us sit down across from the dying pair. "Morning wankers." All I get is two moans of pain in response before Jackal raises his head and gives me a look that screamed 'Can someone just shoot me already?'  Both me and Yumiko laugh at his expression while he smiles weakly, the laughter causes Thermite to raise his head in confusion before widening his eyes at me. "Ghost, I'm so sorry for that dare last night. She didn't do anything to you, did she?" I shook my head at Jordan, causing him to sigh in relief. We hear the doors open again and every other operator walks through, even Dokkaebi who never gets up before noon. Everyone sits down while the woman with the Russians and the other GIGN member walk up to the doors as Six walks through them. "Good morning everyone, I hope you all slept well." Next to me, I could hear both Thermite and Jackal snort in response to Six, causing everyone around them to stifle their laughs. Six cleared her throat and continued to speak again. "These two will be joining us as of today. Meet Finka and Lion, your new teammates. I'm aware some of you may have met them in the past and had some...altercations."  Six looks over to Thatcher while he just glares over at Lion, who glares back at him. Finka keeps glancing over to Tachanka and winking at him every so often, causing him to grumble and look away while the other Russians tease him. "I expect you to all put your past differences behind you and get along because they're here whether you like it or not. Dismissed." Six leaves the cafeteria and Thatcher walks over to Lion, followed by the other SAS while the GIGN also walk over. As I get out my seat to see what's happening, the SAS have to hold back Thatcher while Montagne holds onto Lion. I jog over to hear them yelling and cursing at each other. "Fookin' say it one more time you French twat, I dare ya!" "Lâche-moi Gilles, je vais tuer ce bâtard!" (Translation because I'm nice: Let go of me Gilles, I'm gonna kill this bastard!) I stand in between them as both of them calm down and are let go by their CTU members while Doc and Twitch sigh next to me. I walk over to Thatcher and raise an eyebrow at him. "Mike, want to explain what's going on?" He folds his arms while looking at Lion over my shoulder. "Yeah. He said that civilians are acceptable casualties as long as we still finish the mission, even if we're the ones to pull the trigger." I raise an eyebrow at him and walk over to Lion and Montagne. "Why did you say that, and what makes you think that one of us would kill a civilian in the first place?" He looks me up and down before narrowing his eyes at me before trying to walk away, Montagne held onto him and prevented him to leave while nodding at us. "Simple, civilians are asking to be shot if they're in the middle of a war zone. If they get caught in the crossfire then it's their own damn fault they got shot. Although, the British do seem to have a loose cannon who wouldn't mind shooting an innocent woman." I walk closer to Lion and stand almost nose to nose with him. "Take that back, Mike isn't a loose cannon." Lion scoffs at me before shoving me back. "Please, the man is old and deranged. He should do us a favour and retire before he puts a bullet in us." I punch Lion in the face without any hesitation and back him into the wall behind him, hearing shouts from everyone else in the room and benches scraping across the floor. "If we weren't on the same side you'd have been dead by now, if you talk shit about anyone on this damn team then you're going to get more than a punch in the face next time!" Multiple hands grabbed me and dragged me away from Lion as he takes off his mask and wipes the blood from his mouth before walking out. Everyone currently holding me lets go and either gives me a pat on the back or punches me in the arm. I sit down in my original spot as everyone goes back to what they were doing. Thatcher and the other SAS members sat down on our table and began to talk amongst themselves before looking at me. "(Y/N), I just want to say thank you. Not many people would have stood up for me like that apart from my squad, so it's good to know that someone else has my back. Everyone on the table nods their head at me and gives me a thumbs up or high five. Moments later, the intercom comes up to life with Six on the other end. "Lion, Ghost, my office now." Everyone turns to look at me as I sigh and walk out the doors. "Wish me luck guys!"
