#simon ghost fluff

You stayed absolutely glued to Simon's side, which would've been fine but they really needed Ghost to be there while interrogating Valeria, he was the best at that. But you didn't want to be anywhere near her, nor would they want to bring you around her, the problem is you start panicking if Ghost tries to leave. Your little hand holding onto his sleeve, he promised to keep you safe which means he can't leave your side. Gaz was the one who volunteered to watch you while Ghost left, now Ghost just has to convince you Gaz is safe.

Gaz kept his distance while Ghost introduced him, Ghost pointed at him “Gaz, friend amigo” Simon wasn't 100% sure if you knew English or not so he simply used both languages even if it had Gaz giving him an odd look. You slightly peered around Simon's side, it was one of the guys you saw from earlier, he was dressed similarly to Simon which meant he probably meant he wasn't from around here. You didn't move, just kept staring at him. Gaz looked around trying to see if there was anything for a child to do here, which was unlikely, normal there would never be a kid here. He noticed a small tv tucked away in the corner, he pointed to it “show?” hesitantly you looked away to see the tv before looking back up at Simon “Volveré pronto.” (I’ll be back soon) so slowly you walked towards the little couch in front of the tv.

Gaz sat on the opposite end of the couch, trying to give you space. Ghost was already gone and Gaz just prayed the tv worked and had at least one kids station. The first station on was the news, probably the most boring thing for a kid ever, still you just sat perfectly still, eyes on the tv occasionally glancing at Gaz. Thankfully there were a few different kids stations. Gaz tried to ask you which one you wanted but you just stared blankly, so he slowly slid the remote over to you for you to pick. Very very slowly, you carefully grabbed the remote choosing one of the shows before placing the remote right back.

Even though there was a show on, you never fully got comfortable, you were hugging a pillow against your chest, not leaning too much against the sofa, and you would often look away as if you heard something but Gaz wouldn't hear a thing. Gaz carefully took you in without staring too much, if he had to guess, those ears have given you better hearing, which would also explain why you left the volume so low. He’s not sure exactly what they were trying to do with you, or what else they've genetically changed about you, but Gaz can only assume the reasons are vile.

–

Interrogating Valeria on where the missiles were didn't take long, but getting her to explain what they did to you and why was more of a challenge. She refused to say what she had done to you, or why, the only thing she did say "didn't work out like we wanted, we were going to get rid of them soon anyways” that's when Simon had to leave the room. The audacity to kidnap a child, torture them, and then plan to throw them away cause they didn't meet your sick expectations. 

Simon just sat in the other room for a bit, not ready to see you yet. Alejandro came in not long after “not sure what we’re going to do with them” for a moment Simon thought he was also suggesting to get rid of you, Simon turned his head to face Alejandro. He quickly clarified “not like that” Simon let out a sigh, “there’s going to be other cartels that want her for sick reasons, she’ll never feel safe here” Alejandro started leaving the room again while mumbling “¿cuál es el lugar más seguro?” (where is the safest place) and that had Simon thinking.

You may have gone a little further out than initially planned, but you did let Ghost and Gaz know and they both said as long as you weren't getting any closer to the building then it would be fine. Really you weren't planning on going closer, but then you noticed how there was an area up ahead, everything looked normal, too normal, too perfect. Sometimes people try to hide things in the forest using complex traps that perfectly disguise it, but it often ends up being obvious because the forest isn't perfect. And just like you suspected there were in fact vents hidden there, based on the location though you're not sure what rooms it could connect to. Still you guys might be able to hear something through it.

Ghost and Gaz came over as soon as you radioed them, if either of them noticed you being slightly closer to the building they didn't say anything. The plan was to send a long cord with a microphone attached on the end, and if it was a valuable area with easy access maybe even a camera. Ghost stood farther away keeping an eye out for the enemy, you stood next to Gaz holding the map, hopefully you would be able to figure out exactly where the vent led to. Before actually sending the cord down you radioed Price letting him know what you found “just keep it quick soldier” was all he said.

It took a lot of tries before you guys managed to actually get the cord somewhere where you could make out conversation “you have any clue what this is about” it sounded like some recruits “no one knows, super fucking sketchy if you ask me” another voice, “he’s talking to everyone individually, whatever it is, it seems serious” the rest of there conversation was just theories on what could have happened. You guys still listened hoping it would maybe give you more intel about the people inside but when one of their theories started involving aliens you guys gave up. You tried moving to other rooms but the vent seemed to only lead to dorm-rooms where none of the conversations had any valuable information. 

Ghost came over after a while “we need to head back soon” it was a bummer you hadn't found out any new information but the fact there were vents over here meant there had to be more nearby. You helped Gaz pack up everything before heading back. As soon as you were back you were explaining what you had learned to Price and Soap, even if it was only a little information. Gaz pulled out the map, marking the spot where the vent was and drawing a small line to where it connected in the building. Soap bursted out laughing when you told him about the recruits alien theory, while Price was quiet, just thinking of the next step.

Soap spoke for him “the radio didn't tell us much, but their boss is intent on interrogating all of them, kinda seems like he’s going mad, a few of the soldiers are worried about it” both the higher and lower ranked solider were worried about it. “If we go back tonight I'm sure we can find something” Gaz said. Price put his hand up “the night is too risky, they'll be skittish after today. Not to mention we still don't know exactly who we’re dealing with, it’s better if we wait for Laswell to learn more” you didn't say anything but you were disappointed, sitting around waiting isn't fun. Price remembers seeing that same look on Ghost all the time “getting trapped in the enemy's base wasn't enough for you?” Price said, you just mumbled “touché” while going to sit. Either way, you have a feeling they'll be more than enough action for tomorrow”

Simon's theory was that you killed someone in the higher ranks, maybe someone who wasn't particularly liked by recruits, and that's why they're going through and seeing if it was someone inside the base. Occasionally someone would talk through the radio, it seemed like they were carefully clearing rooms, looking for the missing weapons or something showing guilt, they wouldn't find it though. “And what happens when they don't find it” you asked, Ghost just shrugged and Gaz mumbled “guess that's what we’re waiting to see” you took a seat with the sergeants, this could take a while.

You guys just waited patently while the checked the rooms not once but twice, then a voice you recognized came through the radio, “search them then, there has to be something” you perked up “that was the boss” Price was immediately paying more attention "they're gonna search all of them” Soap muttered. “Maybe they really don't think it was someone on the outside” Gaz said,  which would be amazing for you guys, but it really doesn't seem like these guys are that smart, the more you watch them the more confusing their actions get.

They took a group of recruits at a time, and then after ten minutes another group, until there was no more recruits “there can’t be nothing, someone obviously did this” it was the boss again, his voice still held the authority but he seemed more desperate “there’s nothing sir” someone said, the boss sighed before saying “I’ll personally interrogate everyone. Send them back to their dorms” Simon chuckled slightly before saying “sounds like you Price” Price gave him a side eye before leaning over and smacking Simon, his way of saying don't compare me to the enemy, still Simon added “he’s got yer ‘I’ll do it myself’ attitude” something Price couldn't exactly argue with.

The radio sounded again "they're all asking questions sir, what do we say?” immediately the boss came back on “nothing, just keep them in line, it’s better if they're scared and confused” he was clearly pissed. You guys watched as they all slowly made their way back inside. As soon as the last soldiers were inside you all turned to Price for directions “use the maps and see if there’s somewhere we might be able to listen in. One group will go listen in while the others stay here and keep an eye on the building while listening in on both radios” he paused before adding “me and Soap will stay here, Ghost and Gaz will go out” he stared for a moment at you, unsure exactly where to place you, “you can go with Ghost, but play it safe” you nodded, heading inside to prepare with them.

Gaz called you and Simon over, he pointed to one side of the building on the map “there should be some vents on the surface in this area, if we’re lucky we might be able to send a mic through” you nodded. Your team slowly made your way around the building, there were still soldiers on look-out outside and they were on extra alert so it was safer to take the long way around. Once you were on the other side of the building you guys briefly split up. Price radioed in “they just started their interrogating, if you could find that room it would be a miracle” it was a big ask, you guys would be lucky if you even found a vent, and even luckier if it actually connected to a room people were in.

You just needed to watch from the sidelines while waiting for actual law enforcement to show up, but keeping Soap from barging over there was proving much harder than expected. You can’t even begin to count the amount of cages, and you're sure there's more out of view, that alone puts the guys on edge. And every time there was some distressed noise, Soaps head would snap in that direction and a few times you even had to hold him back. Ghost is just leaning against the tree staring towards the cages, his expression is utterly unreadable but he’s clearly pissed, and you're sure if you let Soap forward Ghost would be right behind him.

Soaps head snapped in the other direction before he moved slightly behind the tree, before you got the chance to move or ask him what he heard Ghost was pulling you against him and covering your mouth. You were confused until you heard voices closer than before “the stage is set up, buyers should be arriving soon” then someone else said “did those dragons finally settle down? we can’t risk anything here” you could see Soaps fist clenching, the first guy said “yeah fucking finally, they even woke up the big guy. How much do you think he’ll go for? I was thinking-” they were too far for you to hear the rest of their conversation. 

Soap immediately came over to you two “we have to go over there” Ghost added “the stage is where everythin’ is going to happen” moving was risky, and getting closer to the ‘action’ meant a higher risk of being caught, but on the other hand, if more people are coming then that's more people to hide from. Either choice was a risk, but in the end, moving closer to the stage had advantages, that's if you guys can find this stage without getting too close. “Fine, but we’re walking, flying is too risky” Soap and Ghost nodded.

Making your way through the forest was hard, you had never been this far out so you had no prior knowledge to help you, you guys couldn't get too close but also had to be careful not to go too far out and lose the area. As long as the row of cages were in view you guys were good, but eventually the row ended, you were about to turn around, there was seemingly nowhere to go. That's when Ghost tapped your side and pointed out a small dirt road, all the trees and branches had been cleared out. You guys backed away slightly before following parallel to the path, you had to stop moving multiple times when people passed, but eventually you made it through, and on the other side was a wide open area.

Honestly it was the oddest sight in the middle of the forest, there was a pretty big raised platform towards the front of the large area, but in the middle heading all the way to the back was rows and rows of seats. Soap muttered “what the hell is this” that was exactly what you were thinking “it’s an auction” Ghost said in a tight voice. That explained everything, and it meant there were going to be much more people here than you expected. Before you could say anything someone ran down the path and yelled "they're coming in” before running back. You turned to Ghost and Soap “okay we need to backup while everyone is moving around so they don't see us, and then once everything starts we can move closer, if your comfortable” you couldn't even imagine the things that they might show on the stage, you would understand if it was too much for either of them. But they just shook their heads, they needed to see Gaz.

Part 25

So thus began the waiting game. If things went south there was a plane on the way, but the longer you guys could stay here and get information the better. It was still way too risky to get close to the building, they haven't found the body or missing items, or so it seems, but when they do you guys don't want to be near. So Price has two people on watch duty, they are to stay near the house and alert the others if anything happens.

Thankfully you weren't on watch duty first, which is good because you definitely would've passed out. As soon as the adrenaline wore off you needed to lay down, and even though the bed was still as hard as a rock, the moment you laid down you were out. When you woke up it was still dark out, when you left the room the only person you saw was Ghost. “Who’s supposed to be here with you” Simon shrugged “you” you immediately went to complain how no one told you, not wanting to get in anymore trouble with Price but Simon just stopped you “it’s okay, I choose not to wake ya up” 

You mumbled thanks before sitting on Simon's side “anything different” you already know the answer, they would've woken you up if something had happened “nothin’ same routine” he didn't say it but you could hear he was worried. You sighed “when is Laswells plane getting here” Ghost kept his eyes on the base the whole time “last she told Price, later tonight. Doesn't necessarily mean we're gettin’ on though” he was right, as much as the plane gave you a sense of safety and rescue, it all depended on how the enemy reacted. You got up again “I’m going grab food” hopefully that would help you think.

You came back out not long later and silently handed Simon some food before taking a seat. The sun was just starting to come out when you and Simon noticed unusual movement. All the patrolling soldiers on one side of the building suddenly went inside. You and Simon didn't move yet, just waited for anything else. After a while the other soldiers went in as well, and a bunch more, likely higher ranked soldiers came out, their guns were out and they were on high alert “go get Price” you were already half way out the door when Simon finished saying it.

Price immediately came out while Soap and Gaz quickly put on their gear before coming outside as well. All of you watched as seemingly every single soldier was escorted out of the building, most of them in little clothes, not a single weapon on them. “What’s happening” Gaz asked, it was a weird sight, not at all what one would expect in a situation like this, Price shrugged "they're counting soldiers” simple right? But Simon shook his head “no, they think it’s a traitor” I mean, it would explain why they were on such high alert and why only the higher ranks had weapons.

“But isn't this a bit much still” Soap said, slightly grimacing as a soldier was shoved onto the ground after slightly stepping out of line, “when you're running a secret operation, you're weary of everything” and you all knew Price was speaking from experience. “Exposing all your soldiers isn't a smart move though” Gaz added and none of you could really oppose the statement. Then the guy you had seen earlier, came out, "that's the man, the one who gave me the map” Price slightly chuckled "definitely the one running the place” it was even more clear now, his presence alone had everyone standing straighter and tensing up. Then Simon asked you a question “the guy you killed, you saw his rank?” you shook your head, there were much more important things at the time. Simon turned to Soap “go get the radio” then back to you “don’t think you killed an ol’ soldier kid, startin’ to seem like someone much more important”

Part 17

Now, years after his surgery and transition, Simon loves his scars because they look badass, no they don’t have good stories behind them but it shows what Simon has been through. He loves the way people stare, he knows he scares the shit out of him, and in a weird, maybe a little fucked up way he likes it, when he was younger he was always the one afraid, and it makes Simon feel proud of himself knowing he’s not that scared little boy anymore.

tf141 x reader

The world was starting to get too quiet for your liking, You had a cold wine in your hand as you sat outside in your balcony. The stars were quite visible today, you smiled to yourself. 

You lived on the 35th floor in a high-rise apartment building. It was the first thing you bought when you started making money being part of the TF 141. You fucking enjoyed the view, quiet, peacful area, no crazy neighbors and most importantly, no gunshot sounds.

As much as you hate to admit it, you were starting to get sick of the noise. The killing, the bombs,You just wanted to disappear, and this was your way of disappearing. 

A phone call disrupted your calm thoughts, You looked at your phone.

“Ghost?’’

That was unusual, you thought. He doesn't do calls, ever. Heck, you didn’t even think that number was active. You answered the call thinking it might be something very important.

As soon as you picked up the call, You could hear  Soap and Kyle fighting in the background.

“Goddamnit Ghost…your heavy as a fucking elephant’’ You could hear Kyle half screaming half grunting over the phone.

“Hello?’’ you said quietly. You heard a thud and soap saying something about not holding his liquor well, quite annoyed. “See you tomorrow Ghost, don’t say anything you’ll regret tomorrow’’ Kyle laughed, you could clearly hear Soap laughing too, both drunk and barely sober. You could hear keys being thrown on the floor and the door closing. 

“Hello? LT? “ you said nervously as you bite your fingernails.

‘’Fuckin hell..’’ you could hear ghost grunt, Is this a butt dial? You said to yourself as you looked at your phone.

“Hey Y/N’’ you could hear him say it in the most quiet voice

“Hello Lieutenant, good evening, how can I help you..sir?” you said as you stood up. You were starting to feel hot. 

“I think you’re beautiful.” You paused, you were looking around just in case someone was pulling a prank on you.

“Lieutenant sir, I think you have the wrong person, I’ll end the call now sir.’’ You quickly said flustered. Maybe it's the wine, you were trying to find excuses.

“Is there any Y/N in my team then?” He took a deep breath and let out a little chuckle.

He. was. definitely. Wasted.

You lowkey screamed in your head.

“No sir. There is not’’ you said as you grabbed the edge of your table.

“Well then I’ll be damned, I think—I think you have the most…beautiful eyes.” he said, clearly slurring his words. Your head was starting to go frenzy mode because, what the fuck? This is your Lieutenant you were talking to. He hardly ever says a word to you on base. You were starting to freak out.

“Well.. thankyou–Lieutenant, I think you should get some sleep?” you asked him, your heart was beating so fast. 

“Hmmm, i don’t know im talking—to uh–a pretty lady “ You can clearly feel him smiling through the phone.

“I think I like you a little bit too much…. sergeant” he sighed and smiled. He was slowly starting to fall asleep.

Your eyes were as big as the moon right now, That is not the lieutenant that you know for God's sake?

‘’LT–’’ You were cut off right away.

“Simon..it’s Simon–call me that” You were really starting to lose it. You were pacing back and forth in your balcony. You were biting your nails so hard, you were losing nails to bite.

‘’Okay..Simon…Tell me when you're sober” You said as you set your hand on the table, head hung low. You were starting to get dizzy and your hands were turning cold.

“Fuck..okay pretty lady..ill call you when im—” you could hear his voice getting very sleepy and you suddenly hear light snoring from the other side of the phone. You put your hand on your forehead, took a deep breath.

“Call me when you're sober..you idiot’’ You said as you pressed the red button. You need a breather.

It didn't take long to meet back up with Gaz and then head back to the base. Price and Soap were already there when you three arrived. Price looked pissed and tired and Soap seemed to relax once he saw that you three were safe. Price took a breath before pointing at Soap, Gaz, and Ghost “you three outside, keep watch for any suspicious activity” Soap gave you a sorry look and you just stood up straighter, knowing what was coming.

“What the hell were you thinking, what you did was needlessly risky, you're playing with your life and could've ruined this whole operation” Price just went on and on, and it eventually became evident he didn't even fully understand what went down. Still you just stood there quietly, only once Price paused did you speak up “Captain, I think you misunderstand, I didn't choose to go into their base, I was in the open with multiple enemies approaching. And more importantly, I am not some new recruit, I have training and experience, I know what I am capable of”

Price just shook his head, you were just like Simon, the only one of Price's soldiers who has ever corrected Price while being in trouble. Price rubbed a hand over his face “still, you need to be clearer on your future actions” Price went to open the door, motioning for the guys to come back, and when Ghost pasted Price mumbled “just like you this one” once they were all there you gave a recount of what happened inside.  

You explained why you entered the base, where you hid, and the rooms you entered, Price paused you. “So you still have one of their guns and a knife” you nodded, Price sighed “well there definitely going to know someone was in there” you looked at him confused for a moment before realizing you still hadn't told anyone about the man. So you explained that part, and how they would probably be finding him some time today, and how you got his radio. Ghost was smiling proudly but didn't say anything. You explained the new area you entered, and the office you entered, Soap blurted out “so you saw their captain?” he was looking at you absolutely bewildered “captain, sergeant, lieutenant, general, I don't know” somehow that was even more impressive. You explained how he let you off and even handed you a map, now Gaz stopped you “so he just handed over a map?” he seemed pissed that they had gone through so much effort for nothing. Then you explained where the exit was and how you got out.

Price, who had been standing by the window looking at the enemy base the whole time, finally spoke up “sounds like you did what you needed to and got lucky” it was his way of acknowledge that he underestimated you and still saying it was risky “take it all out” you pulled out the map, radio, gun, and knife. Gaz took the map and started comparing it with the blueprints they had gotten earlier, Soap was looking over the weapons, and Price grabbed the radio. Ghost just sighed and said “guess we’re callin’ Laswell” Price put the radio back down carefully and nodded towards Simon.

“Sergents, you're on watch duty. Two people on duty at all times” Gaz reluctantly put the map down and followed Soap out. You sat on the couch next to Simon while Price paced back and forth waiting for Laswell to call. When she finally did call, Price explained everything, or well mostly just the important bits, including all the information you had learned. She was quiet for a moment before saying “I’ll get a plane ready just in case, but for now you guys stay there and see how they react. Don’t go inside, just observe from outside, which I could have sworn were the instructions I gave last time.”  She sounded a lot like a mother, Price just sighed, getting ready to hang up, but before he could Laswell added “told you they were going to be useful” in a smug tone before hanging up.

Part 16
