When Comes the Raine (Rainbow Six Siege X OC)

The New Arrival

Mike's POV

Everything sits as it normally does at Hereford base, though there was a slight commotion entailed by the announcement of a new arrival at the base. Everyone except the Spetznaz boys (who are currently nursing intense hangovers from the little shindig Aleksander threw last night) sit in the Chow Hall waiting for the new guys introduction. It is a little odd though, Six has been talking to stranger that obviously isn't the new recruit given he's already at least forty, though his physical development hardly lets that show. He's at least 6"5', weighs maybe 240-250, and his body looks like he should should be teaching us about workout routines. Hell, I might ask him about his later to see if he has something he can teach me.

It's as I'm musing about workout routines that Six walks up to the microphone that sits on the East wall and starts talking, which is still as underwhelming as the day his mother turned the job over to him, though the words he speaks are still important. He explains that the new arrival is currently ready to be introduced, but the man next to him needs to have a moment of our time first since he is the new guy's designated "Handler", which surprises everyone in the room because no one has ever required this before. Six steps out of the way for the man and smiles nervously, which is certainly a bad sign because even though he is significantly more subtle than his mother, he is certainly not meek. The words that come from the man are the real surprise though,

"Hello, uh, everyone", he says in a voice that doesn't fit his stature. Yes, it's as deep and gruff as you would expect, but he seems to shrink before the crowd in front of him, though he continues on anyway, "My name is Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Perryman, but I prefer to be called"

"Nomad", I hear Meghan, Taina, and Emmanuelle say at the same time while staring Lt. Col. Perryman down. Perryman just looks surprised as the three all excitedly sprint towards the mic to playfully berate him about his beard.

"Well, if it isn't the three lovely ladies from Bolivia", Nomad says cheerfully, now looking fully comfortable with the situation.

"Are you the new recruit?" Emmanuelle says excitedly.

"No, but one of my old teammates that you met is", Nomad responds with.

"Oh no, please don't tell me Midas will be joining us, I hate that idiota", Taina chimes in with sounding as annoyed as her words would lead you to believe.

"Nope, not him either, but close", Nomad says, starting to laugh at the exasperation on the girls faces.

"Then who is it? Just tell us already!", Meghan says, the rowdy American in her making itself present.

"You sure you want me to spoil the surprise?", Nomad asks playfully, obviously knowing the answer. His sarcasm is rewarded with a loud smack to the arm from Taina, after which he only smiles and says two words, "Dominic Raine".

The whole room goes silent excluding the gasp of horror from Emmanuelle that goes very well with the colour draining from Taina's face (which is interesting, because she's very tan). The room stays silent until Meghan chimes in with,

"You're kidding me, Ole' Nicky Raine is coming here?", the terror in her voice evident.

"Yup, y'all still remember the standard Ghost Recon greeting", Nomad says peacefully as though the words he just uttered weren't ominous as fuck. The three each give a small smile and draw a knife from their waistbands. Nomad draws a nine millimeter from a shoulder holster and nods to Six, who simply whispers something into his comms and steps away. Before I, or anyone else for that matter, can get involved the doors at the back of the cafeteria open and in walks the person I can only assume is Dominic Raine who at first look, doesn't look like much. Though, the closer I look, the more I realize: he walks like he owns the world and dresses like the worlds worst wannabe. He has a long black ponytail that trails to his upper back while his clothes consist of long black cargo pants that appear to be ballistic weave and have heavy duty knee-pads attached to them, though below the knee-pads things are even stranger. He wears a pair of knee high leather boots that appear to have full steel soles on their bottoms along with the toes also having a full steel plate with multiple bolt heads sticking out the front. His torso is adorned with what appears to be a button up black dress shirt and a blood red tie. Over this he wears a leather trench coat that literally trails the floor behind him while he has the front buttoned up to just about five inches below his neckline (which is the only way I knew about the shirt and tie). His hands are covered by a set of thin full-hand MMA gloves with a silver looking ring adorning his left ring finger. To complete this ensemble, he has a pair of black leather straps crossing his chest and back, a leather belt holding two 9-inch knives is looped through the belt loops of his cargo pants, a pair of dark aviator sunglasses adorn his face, and a modest silver chain that sits at the base of his neck completes the look. I hear a gasp beside me and look over to see Seamus grinning like a madman.

"Oi, what's got you all riled up", I say, knowing he doesn't get like this for no reason.

"Mike, do you not realize? He's at least 6"11, he's a giant!", he says, obviously happy that Max now has someone else to pester for being a human mountain.

Before we can say anything else, Emmanuelle charges Dominic down with her blade drawn. This turns out to be a mistake as Dominic simply catches her by her throat and shocks all of us as he lifts her to at least five feet above the ground and swings his arm wide to smash her off the marble with so much force he cracks it, knocking her out immediately.

Before Dominic can rise from the knee he'd had to drop to to finish Emmanuelle, Taina rushes in to use the same move she used against me at the Six Invitational in 2019, which is sprinting and using her momentum to leap up and lock her ankles together, effectively trapping his head between her thighs and using his head to pivot around to knock him off balance. Though, instead of being knocked off balance or being choked, Dominic just raises his left elbow to meet her face as she swings around. When this happens, there is a distinctive "crack" of her nose shattering before Dominic grabs her by the jaw (and yes he did wind up sticking a large portion of his hand into her mouth) and flings her away, finishing her fighting spirit with a swift kick to the kidneys, causing Sebastien to rush to her side with that one loving-yet-terrified look in his eyes.

By this point, Meghan just charges Dominic and starts her battle with a swift right slash with her nine inch blade. This is to no avail as Dominic just catches her wrist in his left hand and swings his left leg into hers, dropping her to her knees. Dominic then twists her wrist until Meghan lets out a shriek of pain and drops her knife. Dominic apparently see this as an opening because he starts brutally punching her neck, shoulders, and face until she kicks his legs out from underneath him. By the time Dominic is back on his feet, Meghan is still on the ground scrambling for her knife. Once she gets it back, she scrambles to her feet and faces her opponent who, unlike her, looks like he just started. Meghan charges again, this time starting with a right handed jab which yet again, Dominic catches without any hesitation, this time using her momentum to drag her head into a left armed head lock. From there, he locks Meghan's arm out and apparently wants to make her stay down this time because he kicks her arm outwards causing it to break and then spins her around to grip the back of her head and repeatedly smash it it off of a nearby table, earning a scared whimper from Mark who is obviously worried for his dame. Much to Mark's relief, Dominic stops after about the third hit, obviously only wanting her to stay down.

Finally done with Meghan, Dominic turns to Nomad, his final contender who, unlike everyone else in the room, looks completely unfazed. Dominic simply charges forward, ignoring the loaded nine millimeter being pointed at him. Nomad fires twice, but misses as Dominic drops into a slide and I watch as the definitive burst of simunition rounds happens on the opposite wall before Dominic slams into Nomad's ankles and catches him as he falls before slamming him into the marble. Nomad then shoots back up to standing and tries to fire at Dominic again, but Dominic simply grabs the firearm and twists it around till Nomad lets go and then takes the opportunity to kick Nomad in the kneecaps so he drops to the ground before Dominic smashes the grip of the handgun into Nomad's temple, knocking him out cold.

Now that he's knocked four highly trained operators out and scared who knows how many more in the span of a few minutes, Dominic gets up off of the ground and starts walking away with a curt wave that consists of him raising his right arm to a 90 degree angle and flicking his hand about three inches to the right before dropping it back to his side and exiting the room, presumably to find his new quarters. Suddenly, the whole cafeteria is alive with chatter as Mark rushes to Meghan's side and Gustave to Emmanuelle's and the last thing I hear before having to sprint away to retch is Grace's small Korean voice saying "Holy shit Yumi, that was so fucking hot", followed by a surprised gasp and light slap presumingly originating from Yumiko.

Yo, just a little authors note down here, if anyone here was for some reason wanting to illustrate Dominic, feel free to, I don't care so long as you send it to me to showcase.
