Notes: warning there is a little bit of angst in this chapter. Also I finally got motivated to add another part to the story and try to finish it, but it is at like 12:06 am! But hey motivation is motivation even if it messes up my sleep schedule a little because I’m not going to get this story done any other way. I do have more stories and one shot in the works and just haven’t finished them because I don’t have that much motivation to. But once I finish them I will post them. Also the one shots will have a different layout compared to the story’s.
Tw: mentions of death, kidnapping, losing a loved one,

Everyone was at their wait points, they were waiting for the shadow to come and pass on Kate to the other car.
“So how did you all get your call sign, because they sound more like somewhat bad ass but also not.” Soap had asked over the comms.
“Oh they are a joke, here in the US army your call sign or a nick name that you will get is a joke or something that is making fun of you. I don't know what it's like for you guys in the UK though. But Thunder got her because one time when it was thundering and lighting out she had gotten a little too excited and yelled a little. Then Buzz kept on saying that she could hear a buzzing in this barrack when thought there was nothing in there until he found out it was an alarm on his phone. And with Virus he had gotten a virus on his phone that ended up posting random photos he had, had in his photo to a group chat. Then with Mac he kept on finding macaroni shells in his shoe because Virus was pulling a prank on him. And then with me I got my name because one time all my glow sticks I had brushed open when I cracked them so I had the liquid all over me and was glowing brighter than New York City .” Glow had explained to Soap, while keeping an eye out for the trucks.
“Damn, I wasn't expecting to get a whole explanation.”
“I’m still pissed off at the Macaroni joke.” Mac said over comms, which you could hear someone else over comms chuckle a little.
“Oh hush Mac! You know that was funny.” Glow let out a little chuckle. “Well now you know. The names might sound badass but they have a whole different meaning to them.” Glow explained, “How did you get your call sign?”
“It was because I could clear out a room fastly.”
“Alright close your trap, I see headlights coming this way.” Ghost had said over comms.
“Alright everyone be on it now.” Crow had said over comms to everyone,
One of the trucks had rolled up into a circle where they were waiting for the other truck. Everyone had to wait for the second truck to pull up just so they could see which truck Kate was in.
Once both trucks had gotten there, men had unloaded from the truck along with Kate, she had her arms and mouth tapped up, she looked more annoyed than any other emotion. The man had meant up with each other and started talking a bit while Kate stood in the middle of the 4 of them.
“When I give you the sign, hard point 1 takes down those four and then the four at the front of the trucks. Kate is going to run to the side, pice you take one I’ll take the other. Alpha 06 gets ready for possible contact with the other guards.” Crow said as she moved into her new position.
“I’ll take the two on our left that surround Kate, Soap you take the others around Kate, then Glow take out the ones by the front, I’ll help you once I’m done with mine two.” Ghost had said over to Soap and Glow.
“Now.” Crow said. The sound of soldiers falling to the ground could be heard. Kate looked at the surrounding areas until looking which way she could most likely go without being caught. Crow had let out a whistle from the bushes that she was hiding behind as she stood up and waved to follow her up the hill. Kate willingly followed her wife. Once they had gotten far enough from the trucks Crow took out her scissors from her vest and cut Kate’s hands free.
“You would think they would use better material for a capture.” Crow said as Kate tore off the tape from her lips.
“Yeah you would think so. But then again the shadows soldiers aren’t that bright in the head.” Kate had joked around.
“Alright everyone retreated to Mac and Buzz.” Crow turned to Kate, “Also don’t think I’m letting this down quickly. I want to talk after everyone’s safe.”
Rose, Kate, Price, Ghost, and Gaz were in the truck that Buzz was driving. Gaz was sitting in the front with Buzz, while the rest were in the back of the truck. Crow had been biting her lip, you could tell that she was a little spaced off in thought.
“You need to be more careful Kate.” Crow had spoken up like she was annoyed at something.
“I’m always careful I don’t need you lecturing me like I’m one of your recruits.” The whole truck was silent, the only thing that could be hurt was the truck moving on the dirt, and the engine of the moving truck.
“Well this is your second time getting kidnapped so I’m pretty sure at this point you do.”
“Rose I’ll be perfectly fine, I have trained for things like this in the past. I know how to get myself out of these situations.”
“Really because I’m pretty sure that the two times you got kidnapped you had a whole team of military personnel trying to get you out of your holders.”
“No Kate, I don’t care about any reasoning. I don’t want you to get kidnapped again nor straight up put yourself into the enemy’s hands like those two times again.”
“Rose, it's a part of the job, it's not something I can control. I don’t do the work that needs to be done to be safe. I do the work that will bring justice to people and stop crimes.
“So why are you so annoyed over something that I can’t control, and you even know.”
“Because I’m still your wife, I care about you! I don’t want to lose you over a stupid mistake that could have been prevented.” After Rose's final words the whole truck had gone silent for the rest of the ride. But Kate had reached over for Rose's hand, and immediately felt Rose's little squeeze on her hand three times which was not hard enough to hurt but they were enlightened to notice it, Kate knew that was the sign that Rose wanted to cry or break down. Kate had kept her hand in Orse for the rest of the ride.
After the group had gotten back and had a little deep briefing, Rose had let her soldiers rest for the rest of the night and that they would have some time off tomorrow, while Price had followed the same instructions for his team and himself. Some of the members could be heard talking with each other as they walked back to their rooms or the locks. Rose had gone back to her room and started changing out of her gear in there. She had figured that she would just drop off her gear into the lockers in the morning because today has been too much for her. Kate followed behind Rose into the room. Kate had decided that she would get changed out of the dirty clothes and washed off the dirt and whatever was still in her from the kidnapping.
When she had gotten back into the room. The lights were already off and Rose was in the bed. Kate had climbed onto the other side of the bed, and laid to the way her and Rose bodies have always slept together, but Rose had her back turned. Kate reach her hand over Rose body, Rose took her hand into hers again and squeezed three times.
“Alright, why'd you turn over and we’ll talk about it.” Rose hesitated for a second but turned around and found her place again Kate’s body. Kate rubbed Rose back knowing that is something that Rose really likes.
“I just don’t wanna lose you. I know it stupid because that rest comes with our jobs no matter what, but I also know that my heart will not be able to lose you. I don’t want you going into any more trouble that can get you killed and taken away from me. I know it’s stupid because I should be expecting this because it comes with the jobs, but I just can’t.” Rose was trying to hold back her tears but Kate knew that she was failing at it.
“I just can’t stand to lose you, I need you, I can’t have a life without you in it. If you are gone I will lose everything.”. Kate didn't even know what to say, all she could really do is hold Rose close to her while she let out her emotions. “I don’t think I would even be able to move one when you wanted me to. I can’t lose you, you are too much to me. Too much just to be thrown away. I can’t see you die, or get the news that you were KIA. I want us to live until we can both retire from these stupid jobs and grow older in a life where we don’t have to worry about anything happening, and die together outside of war in the world. I just can’t lose you Kate…..you are too much to me.…..you are my everything and anything…. You are everything I ask for……the partner I wanted in life and the next. I need you.”
“I know Rose. I knew the same pain that you feel in your chest, and it would be the same for me too, if I were to lose you.” The rest of the night was quiet with Rose wimping from crying every now and then as she squeezed close to Kate. Kate’s hands rubbed and scratched Roses back until they both had fallen asleep.
