---------------------------------- 

“Here friends, a medkit!” Pathfinder pinged heals inside the deathbox that was still warm to the touch. His squad had just gotten out of a fight, and everyone was trying to heal. 

“Give me that.”, Revenant growled out as he finished recharging his shields. Ash watched as Pathfinder quickly grabbed the red and white box. He handed it to the murder bot, who snatched it away without any recognition of the friendly squadmate. 

Ash just shrugged and began looking through another deathbox. She sorted through the contents, pinging a frag and a thermite. “Explosives here.”, she said in a monotone voice. 

“Take your paws off those, I need them.”, Revenant replied harshly, standing up from the corner he had been healing in, refreshed. Annoyance fluttered around in the back of her mind, and despite not wanting to start anything, she was bored and wanted something to bicker about. 

“Well what if I don’t?”, Ash snapped back, still in a monotone voice. She quickly stuffed the explosives into her bag as Revenant began making his way over. Even though she obviously wasn’t afraid of him, having him near her just gave her a feeling of insecurity. As he walked up beside her, she had to look up just to see his face. Seven inches really made a difference. 

He loomed over her, staring down into her face as she defiantly stared back. She was sick of him bossing people around, even though she didn’t care for Pathfinder very much and didn’t mind what happened to him. “You don’t wanna test me, missy.”, he growled, his voice ringing in her ears even after he stopped talking. He was irritated.

“Oh but I do.”, Ash replied, chuckling. “I like getting on your nerves.” She whispered the last part. Revenant made a weird sort of grunting noise before reaching out. However, his hand froze in midair before dropping back to his side, and he spun and took off in the other direction. She heard him muttering under his breath, and she could only imagine the vile things he was saying about her.

She looked over to see a confused Pathfinder just sitting there, watching Revenant storm off. He looked at her after a moment, but before he could say anything stupid, Ash walked off after her brooding teammate. This match was going to get interesting fast.

---------------------------------------

“Dammit!”, Ash heard Revenant shout as the totem shattered. The inner shadow she had acquired sucked out of her, and for a second her vision throbbed and her body was not her own. But soon she regained control, and just in the nick of time, because Bloodhound was aiming between her eyes.

Ducking and rolling out of the way, her body scraped on the concrete floor of the bunker. Revenant followed suit, quickly whipping out a shield cell. Pathfinder had rushed, an obvious mistake. Within seconds, the words “I’m down!” were cried out, and gunshots were heard before he was boxed up.

“Well, looks like it’s just the two of us.”, Ash muttered out enthusiastically. “Good thing this is the last squad and we will die anyway.” She was still annoyed from earlier and was fed up with her teammates, the fighting, and the whole of the Apex Games in general. This was surprisingly out of the norm for her, but then again, she had gotten more emotional as of late with Horizon joining the games.

Revenant growled at this. “Why give up so easily?” He peeked out from behind the wall, and shots whisked past his head. He took a deep breath before activating his tactical, chucking it towards wherever the gunshots were coming from. Ash leaned her head up against the wall, sighing and closing her mechanical eyes. 

Revenant must’ve noticed, because he muttered, “Wake up.” She grunted, and he sighed deeply. There was silence other than for the enemy team trying to heal up after being hit with Revenant’s ability. “Fine then, you need encouragement?”

Before she could even respond, he grabbed onto her waist, pulling her up onto his lap. It shocked her so badly that she couldn’t even muster a word. He pulled her farther back into his chest, leaning his head down beside her ear. Even through her hood, she could hear him. “Now that I’ve got your attention..”, he growled out seductively. “Help me win this game, and I will reward you later tonight.” If simulacrums could blush, Ash would’ve been a red hot mess sprawled out on Revenant’s lap.

She must’ve been radiating heat; she was so excited by his words. Even though she had just been picking on him earlier, she didn’t expect this much of a reaction from him, let alone one at all. Either way, she wasn’t complaining. She was confused as to what she could be rewarded with, but then again, she was still ready to earn it nevertheless.

Bounding up, Ash whipped out her sword, getting ready to launch into battle. Revenant just chuckled, amused. “Damn, you really want to please me.” She didn’t reply, she was not only focused, but also too embarresed to even say anything to this bot, this guy that was seeing her other side for the first time. He grunted unsatisfactorily, grabbing her chin suddenly and making her look at him. “Do you want to please me?”
