Smoke and Mirrors (Ash x Mira)

Trapped

ASH POV 

"Clear out! The bombs gonna blow!" Thatcher yelled into your headset. At the moment you were in the basement. You were  so shocked you didn't hear the White Mask behind you. Bang! A sharp pain arched across your leg. You looked down st your leg. A clean hole was painting the floor crimson. The man responsible stepped up to your crippled body. The butt of his gun slammed into your head. Warm blood tricked down your forehead. His foot flew up into your stomach. The loud crack of your ribs breaking echoed in the empty room. 

You laid on your back, clutching your ribs. He stepped up to your bad leg and lifted his foot. It came down hard on your wound. He continued to dig his heel into your leg. You screamed out in agony. Your vision blurred with tears as he continued to dig his heel deeper into your leg. You looked up into his eyes. They were filled with joy. This fucker was enjoying this.

 He noticed you looking up at him. The next thing you felt was the sole of his shoe pressing your head into the ground. Your coms broke against the cold floor. A louder blast echoed out. The man's body fell forward and landed next to you. His back was blown open. Now standing over you was Mira. Smoke trailed out of the barrel of her shotgun. She glanced down at your leg. It was a mess. 

She calmly bent down and picked you up in a fireman's carry. Suddenly the entire building shook. The lights flickered and went out. Dust and drywall fell from the ceiling. The bomb had gone off. You pointed to a closet. Mira dove inside and kicked the door shut behind her. The building continued to shake. The rumble of the building collapsing was terrifying. You were breathing heavily. 

Finally everything was still. You pulled out a flashlight and looked around the room. It was a small storage closet. Mira pressed her body against the door but it wouldn't budge. You opened up some storage containers until you found what you were looking for, glow sticks. You cracked a few and turned off you flash light. 

Mira returned from the jammed door. Crunching down, she started to inspect your leg. In the blue glow, you watched Mira's face as she looked at the wound. "We need to cover that up." She said looking back at you. She reached over and grabbed your shoulder. She than yanked her arm towards herself. You heard your shirt rip. In her hand was your right sleeve. She slipped the makeshift bandage around your wound and tied it up tightly. 

The two of you sat in silence. "Why did you come for me." You asked with a blank expression. You could feel her gaze shift to you. "Well I mean, you knew the bomb was gonna go off. You risked your life for me." You continued. "Eliza, you and I might not get along but you sure as hell are a good at what you do." She responded. You let that sink in. "Is there any other reason that you hate me, other than because of Operation Blue Orion?" You asked fearing the answer. "Blue Orion is in the past. It's just that I've always been a little jealous of you." She said tilting her head back ageist the wall. "What do I have that you don't?" You asked surprised at her answer. "Please, Everyone loves you, you have a killer body. Men are always hitting on you." This surprised you. "I really don't swing that way." You said before realizing what you'd said. Nobody knew about your little secret, you were in to girls. You slapped your hand over your mouth. Mira turned towards you. "Then You won't mind if I do this." Before you could ask what you felt her lips press against yours.
