            whatever graves wanted out of such a confrontation , the captain refused to rise to the bait , though he could appreciate the man's straightforward behaviour .
            
            ' it'd be rather detrimental to our work .  regardless of what you believe , commander , we don't all think of you day and night . ' 

 ㇁    it's   okay!!    c:   
            
                 *      THIS   BEING,   one   of   power   and   anarchy.    he   hovered,    airborne  in  the   moment,    red   cape   afloat   behind   him.    eyes   are   cold,   icy,   fierce   as    nolan   stares   this   man    down   like   a    hunting     predator.    despite   his   threatening    gaze,    he   is   just   assessing.     *    really,    an   hour?     i'm    running   later   than   i   thought.

            ;      sorry for the late reply <33
            
            with over twenty years of service under his belt , the captain neither shrieked nor jolted away from the sudden voice . gun raised , he whirled on the stranger with a well-practiced ease , and keen eyes honed in on a familiar emblem . he'd only seen it in reports and digital screens , but there was no mistaking it ; omni-man . 
            price holstered his gun ; no doubt the m19 , nor any tool on his person , would so much as scratch the super .

@seergift 
            ;       it's just her enrichment , i'm not worried <33 
            
            ' captain john price of the sas , ' he gave a nod as a means of greeting , arms crossed over his vest , as he surveyed the scene behind her , unbothered by her jabs .
            keen eyes flicked to the presented badge and back , and while he understood her argument , the captain remained in place . 
            
            ' if this was simply a paranormal operation , i'd be happy to leave this in your capable hands , agent estevez — however , intel has it that a high priority terrorist group has gotten themselves involved . the way i'm seeing it , either our teams work together , or we get in eachothers way . ' 

unless YOUR superiors people are used to dealing with the paranormal──then i suggest you stand aside,  regardless of what your people tell you.   [    not budging one bit,  vanessa holds up her badge.   ]   agent vanessa estevez of the federal bureau of control.  we're taking this over from the fbi..  so,  i suggest you take your big boy pants and turn around and let me handle this.  
            
            /  ignore her attitude she can be so rude sometimes sigh 

@seergift 
            
            ' i'm afraid i can't do that , ma'am . ' 
            
            the captain offered a polite smile , too used to the less than welcoming environment within both the cia and british army to be discouraged . he had orders of his own , regardless of said agency's plans . 
            
            ' you'll have to take it up with my superiors if there's an issue , and i doubt the cia will budge .'   

@IINVINCIBLES 
            
            ' ah , ' keen eyes searched the other's face , as if to find some hidden motive or double meaning , always on alert despite the person or place . it was nothing against mark , of course . 
            
            ' cheers . i'll be better once this op is wrapped up , and onto the next shitshow . i appreciate the thought regardless . . . care for some cheap base coffee ? i was just on my way to the canteen , wouldn't mind the company . ' 

@0LDM4N 
            
            “ need ? no , i just wanted to stop by and see how you were doing , “ he replied honestly , mark felt safe around the older man having gradually warmed up to his presence . 
            “ guess i wouldn’t really be able to listen to top secret problems , but . . . i guess if there’s anything i can help with just let me know . “

@IINVINCIBLES 
            
            the man in question scrubbed a hand down his face with a sigh , before he turned to the other , a smile at his lips despite the visible stress . 
            
            ' the specifics are confidential , son , but aye , just facing some complications . did you need anything ? ' 

;       we don't like the military propaganda in this household , no sir 

Idle hands fiddle with his sniper,  inspecting every nook and cranny to regulate himself.  Familiar task brings much needed comfort,  as he finally casts a glance over at his superior.  Black,  worn out balaclava hides his true emotions,  unable to gauge what he’s conveying on the outside.  “No sir.  No reason at all.  I’m up for the task;  mind giving me a few more details.”

            ' by all means , if you believe you're not up to the task , just say the word . ' 
            
            and while the captain would need additional reasoning on why he couldn't , be it physical or mental , price would do what he could for the good of both the team and the mission . within reason . 
            
            ' any reason why i shouldn't ask for you , ilya ? '

            back remaining straight , graves was a look of utmost power— large confidence even .  the man knew what he wanted and wasn’t hesitant to get it by any means necessary , wasting his precious time was something he never liked .  at least price and him could agree on one thing at least , getting straight to the point— no bullshitting around .  letting out a small sigh , the commander knew it wasn’t going to be easy walking in here and would talk a lot more convincing than some papers with a side of fancy words .  “ i understand that completely  ,  sir .  and i can utmost assure you with all my heart that another betrayal is the furthest thing from my mind .  ” he made sure his tone was convincing , keeping things light but also a tang of his own authority .  just cause the captain outranked him in status , doesn’t mean graves didn’t have any pull here .  this was already dangerous territory due to betraying 141 , but like always..  the commander would always find a way to worm himself out of it .  “ and what do you suggest i do then ?  get down on my knees and beg for an apology ?  i’ve proven myself enough by showing up here myself  ,  plus those papers are genuine—  there’s no more lies here .  trust me .  ”

@gravesco 
            
            the captain set his glasses on the table and leant back in his seat , arms folded over his chest as he mulled over the requested payment .
            conflicts aside , it was rather skewed in the 141's favour ; they got manpower on the field from one of the top PMCs , and the target gets executed . the betrayal tainted those features .
            
            ' you understand this is no easy ask , i'm sure . broken laws can be ignored , betrayal not so much . once a thief , always a thief , as the saying goes . . . i will be honest with you , commander , as i admire your work : it would be foolish of me to not consider this op ample opportunity to turn on us once more , regardless of how useful your intel and involvement is . ' 
            
            john peered over at the commander , his calm tone a stark contrast to his subordinates . this made him no less dangerous . 
            
            ' i'll need more than your word on this , and the deal is yours . ' 

@0LDM4N 
            
            viciousness and brutality were made for the battlefield , not for petty arguments about things that happened months if not years ago at this point .  graves knew better than to let his heart bleed out for the shadows he lost , before las almas and after .  price wasn’t like ghost or soap though , especially soap .  didn’t show their dislike towards the commander so blatantly .  soon a hum would then leave said commander , offering a light shrug as he did .  “ the only payment we want is the fucker six feet deep in the group .  there ain’t no greater payment than that  ,  and i’m beyond cash .  i’m sure we can both agree on that  ,  can’t we ?  i give you the information and i’m allowed to join y’all’s endeavor .  simple as that .  ”
