Y/n POV
Helicopter
After a long and grueling, seven day mission I was finally able to return back to base Jericho, where team rainbow was currently stationed. While I didn't see myself as part of the team, in the eyes of Harry and the government, I very much was. My transport started its decent towards the landing pad which made me sigh in relief, knowing I would be able to rest soon. If I was in that flying metal box for another five minutes I may have jumped out.

When I entered the base, I immediately grabbed stares from many operators and recruits. Now while this wasn't something new, the stares were more excessive than usual which leads me to believe that something has happened or is going to happen... that or they are all surprised to see me come back from a lone wolf mission with nothing but fatigue. Yeah, that wasnt a common theme here at team rainbow. If you were lucky you would only suffer a sprained ankle, most others often get grazed in a gunfight. My eyes narrowed with suspicion as I stalked through the halls towards my dorm, intent on sleeping back the 72 hours I've been awake for. Without remembering that God awful mission, it was required of me to stay awake for three days in a row and it was miserable. I would rather have been tortured for the week... and that wasn't sarcasm. I stuck to the shadows of the structure to avoid the rambunctious ginger who would beyond a doubt drag me about and try to talk to me about the mission I completed. Eliza Cohen was her name and sometimes I wish I never saved her... oh who am I kidding? Its difficult to hate the woman, she's so lively and positive it's hard to pick out something you can dislike about her. Ever since I saved her life she has made it her mission to try and make me social and to get me to open up, which can get annoying sometimes. Everyone else ignores me or are too intimidated to approach me, which allows me to enjoy peaceful silence, a rarity in this place nowadays with all the new operators. With Eliza, that is thrown out the window as the bundle of energy shatters the peaceful silence.

I was dragged from my thoughts when I finally stood in front of a plain, white door. Plated to the right of the door was the word 'cutter', the curves of the letters etched finely into the golden coloured plate. With a sigh of relief I slammed my key into the lock and twisted it until I heard the tell tale 'click' of the lock opening. When i pushed open the door i was greeted to a well lit room.
"Strange, i could have sworn i turned off the lights when i left" i mumbled to myself.
Silently, i placed my bag onto the floor before removing my 1911 from its holster, steadily aiming into the dorm. When I entered the room, everything appeared to be as I left it except for the creases in the sofa and the glass on the table. My brows furrowed in confusion, who breaks into a dorm just to sit down and have a drink? On the coffee table lay a set of glasses consisting of two clear cut, crystal pieces of fine craftsmanship aswell as a large crystal glass that is half full with whiskey. I usually used these when I'm having a serious conversation with someone or I get slightly depressed and need a drink... which tends to be the latter. As I scanned the room with my eyes, shuffling from the other room caught my attention. My eyes narrowed, inhaling a deep breath and steadying my hands I aimed my gun towards the door and awaited who would come through. While they slowly moved towards my location I quickly cycled through the people who would be either brave enough or foolish enough to break into my dorm. Eliza is not one to be intimidated, which is one of the few traits about her I admire. A natural born leader she's never one to shy away from a confrontation, no matter the strength of the enemy. Unfortunately, this intruder could not be her as she despises Whiskey, can't handle the stuff. Next would be Taina, often the one to incite fear not the other way around. Despite her petite size she is one of the few people I am wary of, for she is a formidable killer and an expert in stealth. Unfortunately, or fortunately, this cannot be her for I can hear their footsteps approaching me. One thing that infuriates me about the Brazilian is that I can never detect her due to her expertise in being more silent than a gentle breeze. Their steps were extremely close and would round the corner any second now. My finger tensed as I waited for a clear shot...

What rounded the corner was a stunning woman with snow white hair and emerald green eyes. Her eyes held no fear, not even a hint of suprise at the gun leveled directly between her eyes. A small smile tugged at her lips, which made my heart jump with a feeling foreign to me.
"You must be cutter right? Second best stealth operator team rainbow has to offer" she stated, a cocky smile appearing on her face. I didn't like her lack of respect but I admired her lack of fear to insult me when I have a weapon pointed to her face. While I pride myself on being one of the best stealth specialists in the world, I'm not blind to who team rainbow has. Taina, known only as Caveira to her enemies, a stealth specialist that i admit is above me in skill and record, even if only marginally. Secretly, I do admire her skill but that is as far as I go and I will take that information to my eventual grave.
"Who are you? Not many people have the foolish idea of breaking into my living space and I would like to know the name of the woman that I will curse in annoyance as I scrub the blood off my wall" I threatened in a cold tone. To emphasize my point i applied a small amount of pressure to the trigger. The woman noticed this and her smile dropped a fraction, but she did not let up.
"Names Iana sweetie and didn't you hear? This isnt just your dorm anymore sweetheart, we're roommates" she replied in a calm but condescending tone. As if I was a child that forgot what his mother had told him to remember.
"Nice try you silver tongued bitch but Harry doesn't have the balls to go against what I told him. If you were gonna lie a conviciable one would have gave you a chance of leaving this building uninjured." I stated, letting out a chuckle.
"Well, if you would kindly think back and try to remember your conversation with Harry you would also remember that he agreed to your demands under the condition that you behaved like a good dog. But by the looks of things you couldn't even comply with that simple instruction" she laughed, now disregarding me as a threat entirely and sitting down.
"So? Ever since that deal I have done my missions perfectly and have had zero confrontations with other operators so there is no reason to go back on his word" I snarled, letting an outburst of anger slip through.
"Apparently your actions in Canada last week has slipped your mind. My my, are all rainbow operators this... unprofessional?" She asked rhetorically, picking up the half drunken glass of whiskey with her signature smirk. Within a second her smirk dropped as I blasted the glass in her hand, causing shards to explode in every direction and a few to be embedded in her hand. Her head snapped to me as i shot a fiery glare at her.
"I'm going to go confirm what you have just told me but understand this you prick, other people may put up with your repulsive personality and disrespect.. but I won't. Next time, remember that I won't put up with your bullshit" i spat before barging out the dorm, stomping down the hallway on a warpath to Harry's office.

3rd Person
After recovering from the shock, Iana let a genuine smile Grace her lips.
"My my, he is what you made him out to be. Ha, atleast I got his attention though" she hummed, looking down at her hand that was slightly pulsing in pain from the Whiskey sinking into her open wounds.
