BitterSweet

Chain of command

A few days later....

You wake up to a text from McCree telling you to check the upcoming missions tab on your tablet, but when you opened the page you noticed your name was not listed for the mission, you didn't know if it's because Reyes hated you or it was a mistake but its best to check with him.

You arrive outside his office but hesitated to knock on the door because you hear Reyes yelling at someone inside.
"I am not doing any more of your bullshit paperwork Jack! Did you forget I'm busy running Blackwatch!"
You then here something being thrown, "get out of my face Jack"
You stumbled backward as the door open to see Jack stomping out, he passed by you without a glance at you.
You didn't know if you should go into his office after that but you needed to know about the mission.
You knock on the door and you hear Reyes shout "What!"
"Commander I-I need to talk to you"
Reyes gave a loud sigh so that you could even hear it from outside "Fine ...Come in"

You enter his office to see Reyes sitting at his desk leaned forward with his elbows on his desk and his hands covering his mouth and piles of paperwork on his desk. "What is it y/n" he sounded deeply annoyed.
"Well um...Commander, I was just curious if it was a mistake that my name isn't on the mission list?"
"I don't make mistakes y/n" he growled
"Well, then why can't I take part in the mission?" You began to be annoyed.
"This is an advanced mission and I cannot allow my cadet with a week of training take part in such a mission." His voice now sterner.
"That's some bullshit! You damn well know I am advanced enough!" You are now furious.
Reyes stands up and leans over his desk and gets in your face "Watch you mouth cadet! I am your higher up and I call the shots! Now get out of my office my choice has been made!"

You storm out of his office completely pissed off that all of Blackwatch is going on a mission and not you. As you storm down the hallway you literally bump into McCree and you nearly fell over but McCree was holding you stable. "Woh there y/n, what got into you," McCree said with a friendly laugh,
"Reyes said I won't be going on the mission with you guys" you look down avoiding McCree's look.
"Reyes always has reasons for things, just let things take course"
McCree was right no reason starting fights with Reyes.
McCree leans over to your ear and whispers "you know I snuck in some tequila the other night if you want to come to drink and forget old grumpy Reyes, just don't tell him I have alcohol, I'd get into shit"
After all this, you needed a good drink "alright I'm in"

It was about 8 pm and you decided to sneak over to McCrees making sure to be extra quiet past Reyes's room.
You knocked on McCrees door and McCree answered with a smile, "howdy"
You enter McCrees room it was just like your but on his wall he has a poster of Santa Fe it must mean something to him and there was also some chairs and a small table, and by his bed, there was a stereo. "Well have a seat, don't be a stranger" McCree pointed to a chair.
You sit down and look over to McCree who is kneeling looking under his bed for something, he stands back up now with a huge bottle of tequila and a sly grin on his face. He then turns on the stereo to some classic rock.

Hours go by as you a McCree talk about everything and anything and you can tell you both are on the verge of being wasted.

"So what is the deal with Morrison and Reyes, Reyes seems to hate the guy"
McCree takes a shot of tequila and then answers, "well for starters they are pretty much opposites, Morrison was a country boy and Reyes was raised in Los Angeles, they where friends at one point but Morrison took Reyes position as Strike Commander and gave Reyes the position as Commander of Blackwatch and ever since Reyes seems to hate him." McCree shots some tequila again.
You felt bad for Reyes, you too would be grumpy all the time if that happened to you.
"Poor Reyes" you said and lifted your glass in the air before drinking, McCree nods and does the same.

The laughter and smiles come to a halt as you here slams on the door and before McCree could stand up ...Reyes slams open the door.
McCree couldn't hide the tequila in time Reyes is already eyeballing it with a frown.
"Boss I-" McCree was cut off by Reyes
"You two have just earned yourselves bathroom duty tomorrow" Reyes walked over and snatched the tequila from McCree.
"Get up y/n I'm taking you back to your room, and McCree I better not catch you with alcohol in your room again" Reyes voice was filled with anger as usual.
You wave to a McCree as you left with Reyes.
Walking became so hard that Reyes had to assist you. The walk was very quiet and tense but them was broke by Reyes.
"I decided to add you to the mission list but that means your training will be doubled"
You stopped and Reyes stops in front of you. You were completely shocked.
"Really! Thank you, commander, I won't let you down" you had a beaming smile.
You begin walking again Reyes still holding you upright.
You reached your door and gave a smile to Reyes.
"Goodnight y/n, I still expect you and McCree to clean the bathrooms tomorrow"
Your mood can't be put down now so with a huge smile you saluted Reyes "yes sir!"
Reyes chuckled and began to walk away.
"Thank you again, it means a lot"
Reyes gave a little nod and you smiled.
