Remembering

Hereford Base

Hendrick POV

You woke up and got out of bed. You were still wearing your undersuit with your gear lazily placed on a chair in your room. You walked over to your gear and started to put them all on. You strapped on your chest piece and lastly grabbed your white helmet. You looked into the little eye holes as you first remembered when you first put it on. You turned it around and placed it on your head. You opened your room door and looked around.

Hendrick: *in head* Huh, no ones up it seems was kinda planning on asking Ela about where to go to work on my lancer*

As you thought that, you heard a door open and looked over to see well... monika. She walked out looked over and saw you were looking at her and just slowly walked back into her room. She was about to close the door until you put your hand inbetween the door and the wall blocking it.

IQ: Can I close my door?

Hendrick: Look, you dont like me and I sure as hell dont care about you. But I just need help finding a place to work on my lancer. That's all.

She thought for a second

IQ: Alright fine, on one condition.

Hendrick: What is it.

IQ: You tell me why you have the initials A and B on your chest.

Hendrick: *sighs* alright. There were four of us. Just a band of brothers. There was my older brother clayton, my younger brother Anthony, and *chuckles* the runt of our group Benjamin. When me and clayton were young a day happened called Emergence Day.

IQ: Why Emergence Day?

Hendrick: Because the Locust came from everywhere. And they all started in one spot. A hole they made from underground.

IQ: I couldnt really imagine having to fight an enemy that could be beneathe me.

Hendrick: Yea, well years go by and when me and clayton were able to enlist we did. Because were so needed we were only 16 when we both went in. He went in first and then 2 years later I enlisted.

IQ: Just 16?

Hendrick: There were not alot of us left after Emergence day. We lost over a majority of our population by nightfall.

IQ: So you and clayton both enlisted when you came of age.

Hendrick: Yea. We always stuck together. Although I stuck to being a medic. Two years goes by and we find out Anthony got out of basic and is on his first mission. We were nervous for him.

IQ: Well what happened.

Hendrick: He was apart of Delta Squad and they were sent to get a resonator from alpha squad from the House of Sovereigns. He didnt make it inside since he was shot and killed by a locust sniper.

IQ: I'm sorry to hear that.

Hendrick: Benjamin was the last of us to enlist. He was sad to know Anthony was gone but was also glad to know we were still out there kicking ass. He skipped basic and just got right into the fight. Just like my brother he was designated into delta squad. He did good in the beginning. Although as green as grass, he was always there to assist anyone who needed help. If only we knew he was at Jacinto before it sunk.

IQ: What happened to him.

Hendrick: Before me and clayton split up so i can go to anvil gate, he told me Cole said to him that he fell out of a king raven and into a city sinking worm.

IQ: Did he get out?

Hendrick: Sadly no, Delta squad found him in not so good shape and he ended up passing away from his wounds. If me and Clayton knew where he was we couldve been there for him. But we werent.
