Rebellious Connection (Ela x Reader)

Mission Insertion

Being a late member of the operation, you weren't exactly caught up on the tasks that needed to be executed. Under regular circumstances, you are sure that you would have been rejected, or at the very least ignored. Zofia's request is what was needed however.

It seems there was a biker gang that had some info on the White Masks. German intelligence traced back some money and found that trailed back to a club. Illegal drugs and munitions were apparently sold and traded here. German special forces and police were ready to make an assault on the building, with the special assistance of a carefully put together task force. Most of the members were "standard" black ops, you knew Zofia had picked another operator from the base. You heard of him before, but hadn't personally gone with any missions with him. He was known as Sledge, an SAS agent.

Aside from your team, there was a separate ground team that would be assisting the ground forces when the assault begins.

...

...The helicopter shook a lot as you settled inside. You, along with the other operators acting in this mission were silent. You were in Germany again, but under much different circumstances. This was the first time you've been in such a serious task force. Everyone wore a black uniform with no insignia of your country or unit, the only part that made you different from each other was how your rigs were set up, other than that this was strictly a black op mission. This probably isn't going on record.

Beside you, you knew was Zofia, but the others were strangers. They all kept silent with their heads pointing down. The goggles very subtly bounce on their helmets, as did yours. The pilots clicked and worked on their dashboards as the buttons sometimes blinked. The sense of having adrenaline had long faded since your first mission, instead this felt oddly calming as you sat back in your chair. Some soldiers said that during the transportation phase they'd either sleep or set things right with God, but you found yourself recalling old memories. They were mostly calm moments - being alone, either walking or in bed, just having the silence as your company as you thought about your decisions.

You felt something hitting your boot, which brought you out of your day dreaming state. You saw Zofia tapping the toes of your boot with hers. When you looked up, you saw her gesturing to her headset. You brought the mouthpiece of yours and started talking.

"What is it?"

"You look confused," Zofia says. "Is there something wrong?"

"No," you follow. "Just thinking."

She nodded and adjusted. "Don't stray too far from the task on hand. Stay focused. I hate mistakes. No matter who causes it or why it happened."

You can't help but let out a soft chuckle. "You would have hated the first, uh,  operation I ran with your sister then."

"Oh?"

"Yeah...everything that could have gone wrong happened all at once. I...I actually got shot. Thankfully a little green-haired angel kept me alive."

Zofia snorts. "I'm sure."

The helicopter shakes. Some turbulence causes you both to adjust for the readjust for the situation once again. You lean back and exhale; your heart starts to race a little. It's impossible to say what will happen once the operation starts, but you know the part you are playing is extremely important. You mustn't screw up, for not just your own sake, but everyone else's too. You inhale deeply and exhale heavily. Zofia knocks your boot again.

"It's OK, I'll be watching over you the whole time."

"Just need a little guidance," you chuckle. "I'm not hopeless."

Zofia laughs, but doesn't say anything in reply.

You fly out a little longer. Your pilots start buzzing with your estimated drop off. Everyone, including yourself, put your weapons in condition 1. That rush of excitement bursts through your veins. The adrenaline rush wakes you up. You feel as though you are ready for almost everything now. Your headset buzzes with a new voice. "Visual on OA. Prep for breach."
