Sorry again, it's been a bad week. I will however be free of my girlfriend for awhile starting today, so free time should be abundant... when I'm not firing shotgun rounds at Alma every time she skitters out of an elevator or giggles at me from behind a locked gate.

Double post! Ahh the power of being a thread creator... this is just to assure you guys that I haven't given up on you... lol...

The equipment room was full of the members of Alpha and Bravo squads. Abyx was zeroing in the scope of his PSG-1 when Wolf walked in. The young soldier wiped the lens carefully with a soft cloth, not looking up.
Wolf seemed to think for a bit before he spoke. "That wasn't much of a pep talk back there..." he said awkwardly. Lara looked at him a second, and he could see in her eyes a painful shimmer of hope. She smiled sadly. "Urban fighting is the worst when it comes to these things... but hey, with three squads-" she began.
"Two," Abyx interrupted, "two squads. There was no confirmation that whoever out there was part of Delta. We can't even assume they won't fire on us," he said.
Wolf looked between them both. Abyx looked at him. "Twice a month or so a chopper comes in with supplies for the base. When they arrive, they'll take you somewhere safe. In the event we don't return, be careful, there aren't a lot of people here and this place could be breached," he warned, voice calm and analytical.
Macon looked at the sniper as he slid a standard 9mm handgun into his leg holster. "Don't listen to him Wolf, he's just worrying too much. We'll be back in time for dinner," he said, voice upbeat.
Wolf shook his head. "This isn't right though... you guys shouldn't be going out alone like this..."
Lara brushed a stray lock of hair from her eyes and looked up. "Hey, it's our job... and my reason for fighting might be out there in the first place..." she replied.
Abyx secured his two 9mm handguns and shouldered his sniper rifle. He selected an assault rifle from the case and began checking it. Soul shouldered his bullpup and walked to Wolf. He reached out and clasped his upper arm. "Hey... just in case, it was good to meet you," he said warmly. Wolf nodded mutely.
Abyx just finished loading when he saw Wolf calmly take a pistol holster from an unused locker and begin to secure it around his leg. The rest of Alpha stopped and looked to him.
"What are you doing?" Butcher asked, paused in the middle of loading his combat shotgun.
Wolf didn't look up, but tightened the straps around his thigh. "I'm going with you," he responded lightly. The Alpha members looked among themselves, unsure of how to react.
"What makes you think you can just hop in our squad? You have no training, no discipline, no military background," the squad leader insisted. Wolf shrugged. "Neither do you, really. You said you were volunteers. I'm volunteering," he announced.
The newcomer began pulling on an equipment harness. "You can't do that," said Abyx sternly. Now Wolf wheeled on them, fire in his eyes. "Like hell I can't. You people are going into a potentially suicidal situation without a full squad and almost no intelligence. You might very well be flying out to die protecting the corpses of civilians that may already be dead. Maybe you all have your reasons for going out, but now I do too. You may be the only people who have given a shit about me in the last couple of months, and after all I've been through, all I've seen, you're the only friends or family I have left, so don't you dare expect me to sit here and let you guys die," he cried.
The room was silent for awhile, each person lost in their own thoughts. Abyx scratched his head a bit and took a deep breath. "I meant you can't put the harness on yet, it goes over your body armor. Otherwise you can't get to your pouches and whatnot," he corrected. Wolf blinked, surprised.
Butcher shouldered his shotgun and slid a combat knife in his sheath. As he walked out, he looked at Abyx. "Make sure he's suited up right, I don't want him choking to death on his shirt collar or something," he said.
Wolf smiled to himself and looked back. Abyx finished suiting up and helped him don his armored vest. When they were finished equipping him, he was carrying two 9mm handguns a combat knife and a bullpup. Abyx was helping to straighten out his communicator when Lara stepped up to them.
"Why are you coming out there? You know the chances, you could go back, have a life, forget about all of this..." she said, meeting Wolf's eyes. He looked back, forcing a smile. "I have to, I owe it to my friends... we all have to stop running away someday... and there's no way I could forget all this... this is the first peace of mind I've had in who knows how long... even before the invasion," he replied. "If I let you guys go... I'll never sleep again... I know it..." he finished.
Lara smiled warmly and left, heading for the helipad. Wolf sighed softly, and then let out an 'urk' when Abyx jerked his abdomen strap tight. He looked to the young soldier who tapped him on the forehead. "You'd better damn well be paying attention out there. No daydreaming until after we're back," he accused, not without a glint of amusement and understanding in his eye. "Now let's get moving. I'll give you tips along the way..."
