Six POV
Hereford base
0800 hoursI was sitting inside my new office reviewing potential missions and looking over my new team I have about 38 operators(leaving out Finka and Lion just in case I want to do something with outbreak) "well 39 if you include Scarecrow" I thought and as if by magic the lights flickered and he seemingly appeared by my doorway.
"Nice office," he said, "I hope that you haven't installed any of the security systems yet because I just strolled right in."
"Patience, Y/n, we're setting up bases in every country we pulled operators from, it takes time. Speaking of which I want you to be there when the new operators arrive." I said looking up from my desk to see Y/n with his buzzed h/c hairdo and stubble from being on the road too much to shave.
"I don't play well with others, you know that. they're a distraction and a nuisance." he said matter of factly I sighed "Y/n, I know you think that, but these people are the best of the best with a diverse set of expertise, and as good as you are you can't be an expert at everything. With you on this team, it'll be the perfect squad."
"Six, listen closely, I know what you're trying to do. You think if you include me in this little group of yours it'll mend my broken soul, but I don't need fixing . I'm perfectly fine on my own." He insisted, but I know the truth he just doesn't trust anyone anymore. He turned around and started walking out.
"Y/n, I understand that you don't want to be apart of any team since your time with the SEALSs. I've watched you turn down offers from Fourth Echelon, the Ghost's, and every army and mercenary group under the sun. Tell you what, do one op with them and if you still don't want to be apart of Rainbow I will leave you to it and you can go freelance." I said "Annnnd as an added bonus I will 'forget' to take you off our funding list. And I'll call us even." Knowing exactly what that means.
"One op?" he asked, I nodded "Fine, I'll stay up until after one op when do the newbies arrive?"
"You've got two hours. and Y/n come unarmed" I said knowingly.
"Ugh, you take all the fun out of everything." He said like a mopey teenager he opened the door and as he walked out he turned "hey, Six."
"Yes?"
"You know we'll never be even right? I'll always owe you," he said meaningfully before I could reply he walked out.
Y/n POV
1000 hours
Entrance to Base Hereford
Six and I stood outside the main facility of the base. We were staring down the driveway as I put my trenchcoat back on.
"This is nonsense, I can't believe you patted me down," I said to Six in mock disbelief.
"I found eight knives, not to mention you showed up with your mask on" I replied matter-of-factly.
"Not a single human being here needs to see my face. And if you didn't like the knife thing should've made it an order" I said, "and make no mistake I don't need the knives."
"Duly noted, Y/n what could you possibly be scared of?" she asked quizzically.
"I'm not scared just planning a little test," I said innocently "I wanna see what qualifies as the best of the best nowadays. Also please, Scarecrow works just fine in front of the team."
"Fine, Scarecrow it is and please don't kill or seriously maim anyone on their first day." she requested
I turned to her "Me, please, would I ever do-" I was interrupted by the sound of approaching engines. Several SAS DPV's pulled into the base, we watched as they parked and several groups got out and stood before me. Six really wasn't kidding when she said she was trying to prepare for every situation. I hope we have enough room for everyone. Six made sure to give me a tour earlier for some reason, there must be more than 30 people here and Six seemed to have conveniently failed to mention I'd know some of them. Six stepped forward and begun the introduction "Welcome to Team Rainbow, I am called Six and this happy and charming fellow behind me, is called Scarecrow" she gestured at me some of their eyes got wider, some gasped, I guess I'm a little infamous never really thought about it, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. "Anyways, this will be our current base of operations. I have hand selected every one of you by skill and merits, a lot of you probably recognize each other. You are here because the world is filling up with threats and due to that, the world leaders have granted me permission to form this team that can operate without borders. Now then Scarecrow here will show you around and once again welcome to Team Rainbow. If you need me I will be in my office." Good thing I was wearing my mask because my eyes went wide as snow globes at the realization I'd been had. As she walked past me she muttered "and that's an order." I have an education that is equivalent to two PhD's since the ripe age of 24 and she still pulls the wool over my eyes constantly. Damn she is good. "Well, everyone follow me I guess" I sighed out and walked towards the base.

"Now that you've seen the armory, mess hall, training room, workout area, garage, infirmary, lab, and range I will conclude your tour at your bedrooms. You all have your own separate rooms completely furnished, and a full bathroom, girls are on the right guys on the left I would ask if you have any questions, but I really don't care you have ten minutes to get situated for a combat simulation and meet me in the training room." I said and went into my room which is situated in the middle of the two corridors of men and women's rooms. I just took off my mask when I heard a knock on my door "what in the fuck could they want already." I sighed I put my mask back on and opened my door to reveal two operators Craig Jenson(Blackbeard) and Meghan Castello(Valkyrie) "Hello Scarecrow or should I say-" Meghan started "If you value your life you will stop right there, and get in here." I said as calmly as I could manage opening my door all the way gesturing for them to come in. They glanced at each other and stepped inside my room.
"Nice digs, Y/n" Craig stated looking around my room.
It's larger than the others to accommodate my own work station for my gear and my weapons as well as a chemistry station that I make and tinker my fear gas with. there are throwing knives all over the walls as well as my sword which was hanging over my bed, my M9 was on my workbench torn apart. I took of my mask revealing my tired but wary bloodshot e/c eyes "what do you want?" I said leaning against the door to my room.
"How about an explanation?" Meghan asked angrily "Where you've been? We thought you were dead I see you started wearing a mask. and how long have you been working for Six? Is that buckshot in your back? And-"
"Stop" I said holding up my hand "I can only answer so much. I've been working for Six since I was 15, even when I was working in the SEALs it was for her. As for where I've been, where haven't I been, after what happened I couldn't go back to the SEALs I had to leave so I began a new training regiment it was a day and night kind of thing. Then when I went back in the field it was as Scarecrow he was going to stay solo. As for my back don't worry it's not passed the armor. I kind of just got here from Mexico two hours ago this room was set up by some kick-ass movers I wasn't going to stay."
"I should kill you right now for running like you did." Craig said getting deadly close. I couldn't meet his eyes if he tried to kill me right now I wouldn't resist. Instead he just grabbed me and pulled me into a hug "But Six talked to us before she even recruited us and explained what you did after 'it' happened and make no mistake we will have this out later, but for now it's nice to see you again" he said he pulled back glancing between me and Meghan. "Well I'm going to go get prepped for the sim. I'll see you in a bit."
I looked at Meghan "So do I get a hug from you to or an ass whooping." I said
"Just one question," she said
"Let's have it then" I said.
"How do you sleep at night after all that happened and after what you do to people?" she said
I opened my mouth to respond, but she didn't want to hear it she just stormed out of my room. I stared down at my mask.
"I don't"
Well, what do you guys think I tried to get a good start here and try to open this up for some future storylines. Reviews are appreciated as I said before.
Have a good one guys.
