You flick your bedroom light off, walking across the hallway to Shaw and Charlie's room. Shaw opens the door, Charlie is in the background looking in the mirror. "Hi y/n" she smiles warmly.
"You ready?" You ask, unsure of how you felt already leaving.
"Not really" she smiles.
"Hey, what's he doing?"
"He thinks there's something in his eye"
"It's probably an eyelash"

That night.

"David has visited, prior to this mission. It's okay to continue the mission" Vickers says, she was staying behind to watch through the head cameras.
"You will be in, out, and we can leave"
"2 years sleep, for not even a couple of days, to then piss off?" Fifield says.
Vickers breathes out heavily, ignoring his comment.
"David will lead, remember to keep your cameras on" she says, squinting at David.
Nothing more. No instructions, not even what to expect. You all stand in silence.
Everyone watches as she leaves the room, she turns to look through the window before walking off to the control room.
"It's a bit early to-"
"At least we get paid" fifield says, placing his helmet on.
"If we aren't killed" Millburn adds.
Fifield scoffs and turns to face him.
"What are you, a coward?"
"No" he says defensively.
