MASTERLIST

The room was in chaos. Simon was scanning computers talking with Kate, getting frustrated with their lack of information. Kyle was looking at maps with Emma as they were analyzing flight paths and gas mileage for both big and small planes. Charlie was pacing while biting her nails. The small room was loud and yet all John could hear was the thumping of his heartbeat in his ears and he took a deep breath, attempting to calm the anxiety that was licking up his spine.

Ava walked in and called out to Simon. 

“He’s awake.” She nodded “I told him to stay put but.” 

Behind her Johnny pushed past her gently and staggered into the room. 

“What happened?” He asked, looking at the men. 

“They took Y/N.” Gaz told him and Johnny’s face fell. 

“How lang hae I bin out?” 

“Ten hours.” Simon snapped. 

“Ten hours?” Soap whispered and his knees started to give out but Charlie grabbed him and directed him to a chair. 

“Tell us what happened. Step by Step. Second by Second.” Simon demanded

“We wer, ah… we wer in ta forest. There wer two blokes and Y/N took em down.” Soap reached up and ran his hands over his face. 

“Come on Johnny, get it together.” Simon snapped

“I’m tryin. Fuck. Mae heads aye fuzzy. ”  

“Simon.” Ava said softly but firmly. 

“Sorry.” He ran his hands over his face and softened. “Sorry Johnny, continue.” 

“Thare was someone thare. We couldnae see them on thermals and Watcher couldn’t see them either. They were quiet, moved quickly. We dinnae see em coming. Then I was oott.”

“Konig?” Simon called out 

It was the first call Simon had made when they got back, despite protests from everyone. He knew that Kortac had been the ones to attack but no matter how much they didn’t think they could trust him Simon knew he loved Y/N and wouldn’t let anything happen to her. 

“Ja I know. Viper. She’s vast, stays in zee shadows, drugs her targets.” 

“Any way to get our hands on her?” John asked snapping out of his thoughts

“Leave zat to me and Keegan. We’ll get her.” 

As soon as Konig heard what was going on he dropped everything to help them find Y/N. Regardless that it was Kortac that had her, she was all that mattered. He called on Keegan to help knowing he would feel the same.  

“Boys, we ah… we have a video message that just came through. From Bako.” Kate’s sullen voice came from the computer. 

“Ava, Charlie, Ems out.” Simon said softly.

Ava and Emma headed to the door but Charlie stayed where she stood. 

“Charlie, you can’t.” Simon said gently. 

“Why not. She’s my sister. She’s my other half. Why the hell can’t I stay?” 

“You know why Charlie.” 

Tears filled her eyes and she stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her. 

Simon and the others crowded around the screen watching intently. 

“Ok Kate.” John’s voice just over a whisper. 

The screen filled with Bako’s face. 

“Boys, nice to see you again. You’ve been such a pain in my ass for so long. Making me deviate from well established plans, losing me money, killing my men. Did you really think I would let you get away with that? I told you I knew your weaknesses, and as it turns out you all have the same one.” 

The camera turned to show Y/N strung up with chains in a dark room, a spotlight shining on her. Her clothes had been removed leaving her in her underwear and bra, showing the fresh cuts, bruises and blood that now covered her body. Her head was hanging and John felt his heart stop as he stared at the screen intently, looking for a sign of life.

Johnny’s legs gave out and he fell into the chair behind him. Kyle had to face away from the screen, not able to see the damage. Simon though was staring just as intently as John was except his hands were gripping the table so tightly his hands were white.

Bako walked up to her and grabbed her by her hair, lifting her head up to show a battered face. Her lip split, her nose bloody and both her eyes swollen. 

“Say hi to your friends love.” 

Y/N’s eyes fluttered open and she looked into the camera. She’s alive. The thought made a strangled gasp leave John’s throat.

“Fuck you.” She wheezed out and he punched her in the stomach. 

John wanted to crawl through the screen and beat the man to death. 

“What did I tell you about manners bitch? Here I am doing something nice for you, letting you say goodbye and this is how you repay me?” 

Another punch to the stomach made Y/N’s head fall forward again. He grabbed her hair and pulled her head up again.

“Now I’m giving you one last chance to say goodbye. Are you going to take it?” 

Y/N looked up at the ceiling and a tear rolled down her cheek. She wanted to keep her resolve and not give Bako the satisfaction but if this was her last chance to say something to her family, both found and blood she wanted to take it. She thought of John and a small sob escaped her throat. 

“It was perfect. All of it.” She whispered.

Bako let go of her hair and her head fell forward. 

“Awe isn't that just so sweet. Well I have a lot of work to do now. So I’ll end it there but know boys if I ever see you again I will do this to each and every member of your families. This one can’t be saved but the others can.” 

The screen went black and John’s knees gave out and he gripped the table to stop himself from falling. Bako was going to kill her. Hell she may already be dead. Everyone was quiet, not saying a word, sitting in shock. It was Momma Lynn’s voice that broke the silence.

“Simon.” She said, her voice shaking. 

He looked up and wiped a tear from his eye. 

“Mom, you shouldn’t be in here.” 

“I’m going to do something now I’d hoped I would never have to do.” 

She walked into the room and placed a small box on the table. She opened it to find a small book and a burner phone. 

“Your dad, he was always prepared, even after he left us.” 

She took the book out of the box and thumbed through it until she landed on the page she was looking for. She grabbed the phone and put in a number placing it back down on the table on speaker phone letting it ring. 

“Pizza By George. Best pizza around. How can we help?” A cheery woman's voice filled the room. 

“Hi…” Momma Lynn cleared her throat. “Hi I’d like to order a number 12 with extra olives.” 

There was silence on the other end for a moment and they heard a computer keyboard typing. 

“Sorry about that, it seems we may be out of olives. Can I check and call you back on this number?” 

“Yes, that would be fine.” 

The call disconnected and Momma Lynn took a deep breath. 

“Never thought I would have to do this. Always thought your dad was just being paranoid.” 

“Mom, who did you call?” Simon asked, rubbing his hand up and down her back. 

“Help. I called for help.” 

The phone rang on the table with an unknown caller and Momma Lynn answered. 

“Hello?”

“Lynn?” A deep voice answered 

“Charles.” Momma Lynn breathed a sigh of relief. 

“What’s happened?” 

“It’s Y/N. Someone took her. He’s going to kill her”

“Ok calm down, is Simon there?” 

“He’s here.” she looked at Simon and motioned her head to the phone. 

“Hello. Who am I speaking to?” Simon asked 

“Hello Simon my name is Charles. I was a friend of your dads, we served together. He spoke very highly of you and was very proud of you son. I know that you most likely have everything under control, however, before he died he put in place a system that Lynn could activate if something happened to one of you and if she has activated it that means you need a bit of help. Now I need details and I need to know who you have working on this. We aren’t here to take over, just assist where needed.” 

Simon looked at the guys on his team, all of them looking broken and he even had to admit to himself that he wasn’t exactly thinking properly. He felt relieved for the help.  

“So what now?” He asked tiredly, looking at the phone

“Now you put me in touch with your watcher and we will get the details. In the meantime you and your team get some kip. You’re no good to this if you’re drained.” 

Simon wanted to argue but Charles was right. They hadn’t slept since the attack and it was taking a toll. 

“Kate?” Simon called out 

“I heard, Charles, I'll give you a number to call and we can debrief.” 

“Perfect, thank you watcher.” 

“Konig?” Simon asked 

“Ja, on it, ve’ll contact when ve have Viper.” 

With that the room went silent and Simon looked at Momma Lynn. 

“You’re sure we can trust them?” 

“Your dad did. I do. Hell, I named one of my kids after him. He is a trusted family friend, Simon. He will find Y/N, or he’ll die trying.” 

“Ok.” 

“Simon, go sleep. We’ll watch the room and let you know if someone tries to contact you.”

Ava walked in and grabbed Simon’s hand leading him to the door as Charlie and Emma went to Johnny and Gaz. John was the last one left and he just stared blankly at the table. 

“John hun, you too.” 

“I don’t think I can sleep right now.” 

“Follow me.”

Momma Lynn led him out of the room to the end of the hall where the last door was. No one had shown John that door yet and he was curious what was behind it. She put in a number on the keypad and the door opened to reveal an office. It had dark oak furniture with a large desk and large bookcases. 

“This was my husband's office. There’s a couch and if you don’t tell anyone else I’ll let you smoke your cigars in here. Ashtray 2is on the table by the couch. The girls won’t come in here anymore, Y/N’s the only one that would… so you won’t be disturbed. Get some rest John, There’s a lot of work ahead of us. And Y/N would be mad as hell at you if she knew how badly you were beating yourself up.” 

She left then and closed the door 

John sat down on the couch and closed his eyes but opened them immediately at the sight of Y/N broken and bloodied. He was overwhelmed with grief, fear and guilt. His heart started racing and he couldn’t catch his breath. He felt like he was dying and he stood up and started pacing around the office. Suddenly he let out a scream, so loud he was sure the whole house could hear him. How was this happening? How is he losing the one good thing in his life just after he got here? It wasn’t fair. He continued to scream as he fell to the floor and then the tears came suddenly and hard.

More Bailey feelings

I was watching a compilation of Nik moments/interactions in both MW2 and MW3 and just realized he's like one of the coolest motherfuckers on the planet

Bailey hearing that Price is married. Laswell asking Price something and mentioning this "Nik" person. She doesn't want to pry into Price's personal life, and he doesn't seem to be a very open person. (Price is just emotionally constipated, it's okay sweetie)

She first sees Nik in passing. He's been the one transporting most of the survivors out of the 141 base. She has the instinctive response of "oh shit he looks like one of the men I was stuck with during the quarantine that was NOT a good person". She finds out he's Price's husband and is trying to tell herself "he doesn't seem like a bad person. Both Laswell and Price trust him, so I should too"

Bailey is terrified the first time she has to interact with Nik. She hasn't even seen him yet but the idea that she has to is scary enough.

But then she sees Nik walking towards them with his swagger walk and his cool sunglasses and that dope leather jacket and she's just like "oh okay, I guess I'm just paranoid"

And then when he actually speaks?? Maybe not addressing her directly but the first time she hears him speak??? He's just so Russian and just so casual and he intentionally says something to fluster Price

And Bailey wants to laugh. Wants to laugh cause he's clearly not a threat to her at all and he's so totally the opposite of what she expected that it's so relieving its almost comical.

Bailey who does befriend one of Gaz's little cousins. Gaz's mom and his aunt are pretty far apart in age, and their kids also end up with age gaps. Gaz and his sisters are between the ages of like 24-30 his cousins are all between the ages of 13-19.

Gaz's youngest cousin is Ava, who sees the new girl in her class and instantly has a "target acquired" moment for acquiring a new best friend. Ava who is a bit of an outcast from the social circles forming amongst the other 13 year old girls.

Bailey ends up actually meeting Gaz before ever finding out he works with Price. Bailey was invited by Ava to join her to the local fair or something. It was originally just her siblings and her, but then Gaz came back home on leave and decided to be "cool older cousin" and take them instead of Ava's mom.

He's actually so good at putting Bailey at ease it's honestly incredible. She has a couple of "oh shit crowds" moments but Gaz is playing it off and is like "Yeah we'll go do this thing instead to avoid the lines. Lines suck, we're just trying to have fun, yeah?"

And it works. Bailey has a lot of fun despite still seeming very anxious the entire time.

Ava and Bailey become inseparable over time. Ava definitely hits another kid for them saying something mean about Bailey. Gaz finds out and is definitely laughing his ass off. Until he remembers he has to go home eventually and face the wrath of both his mum and his aunt for teaching his little cousin how to throw a proper punch.

Bailey hugging Ghost. That's it, that's the feeling.

Bailey hugging any of them to be honest.

Bailey's first night home and she can't sleep so Price stays with her until she does fall asleep, except he also falls asleep. Nik waking up to see Price laying flat on his back in Bailey's bed with her curled up against his side.

Bailey getting her period and having horrendous cramps. She's just borderline miserable as she lays in her bed all day.

Surprisingly, both her fathers are good at acting natural about the whole situation, even if it's just checking in on her a bit more frequently and being a bit more hovering.

She's too emotional to not cry when Nik cryptically leaves only to come back with her favorite snacks. He genuinely doesn't understand why she's crying and oh god Bailey please it's okay and "oh fuck, I made her cry, John is gonna kill me"

Nik ends up sitting on her bed and holding her for a bit to help her feel better. It's still relatively soon after she started getting closer to him, so Nik's a bit in over his head with the whole situation.

Price checks in on her only to see her dozing off in Nik's arms. Nik is getting teary and Price can't tell if it's because they're getting closer or because he's so confused as to what happened.

Chapter I - before the worst

Flashback

2019

Kate Laswell was tapping her nails on her data pad impatiently, watching the man in front of her pace from left to right in her office like a predator ready to pounce. Just about sixty minutes earlier, they had received info that something was supposed to go down at the game at the Verdansk stadium that night. Something bad. 

John Price sighed and came to a halt. “I want her with us. She’s the best analyst I know. She knows the team, she is reliable.”

It was Kate’s turn to sigh. “I can’t do exceptions because she’s your girlfriend.”

“We need her and you know it. I’m not asking.”

“She’s not authorized to be on this team. We can’t just steal her away from her unit without the paperwork.”

“Kate, since when do you care about the paperwork? This is Makarov. She stays out of action and feeds us info. That’s all.”

Laswell looked up and was met by a facial expression shaped by determination, and blue eyes were piercing hers. She knew right then, there was no use fighting once John had his mind set on something. She knew him too well for that. “Fine. Call her. We need to leave. If the info is right, we don’t have much time.”

Price nodded and grabbed his phone, not wasting another second.

Your phone was vibrating on the kitchen counter, and as soon as you saw it was John, you dropped your fork and answered instantly. The Chinese takeout was immediately forgotten. There were two possible scenarios John would call in the middle of the day while he was at work: something bad or something really bad.

You didn’t even get a greeting, so it must be the latter.  “Ava, grab your things. We’re leaving for Verdansk, picking you up in 10. I’m sorry this is such short notice, but it’s bad.”

Your brain didn’t even have the time to process what you were just told, you desperately tried to find any question to ask to let him know you paid attention. But before you could even do so, the call ended. This wasn’t uncommon, but you were surprised that you would join John on a mission - this had never happened before. 

By the sound of his voice, there was no room left for any hesitation, so you grabbed your go bag as if on autopilot. You always had one ready in case you were called in, but usually it was never something like this.

You checked the stove, the windows and locked the door. A car was waiting outside already. Did he fly there? You were sure the call didn’t even end five minutes ago.

You got into the car and could already tell by John’s stance that he was in full Captain mode. No time for greetings.

“You stay under Ghost's command at all times. You’ll be at exfil in the helo.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Love, I mean it. Stay out of any combat unless it is absolutely necessary. You’re not officially authorized to be here, but since it’s Makarov, I need all my best soldiers in this.”

“Understood.” Makarov. Like a punch to your gut. You were taken on a mission that involved Makarov? 

“If there is anything off, you radio us. Don’t hesitate and think it’s insignificant. Anything feels wrong, you tell me.”

“I will.” He handed you a manila folder with the mission brief. You wanted to ask if he is sure about you being there, but you didn’t dare to. It was obvious the situation demanded you to be your full professional self, so you took a deep breath and clutched the folder close to you.

The car parked directly on the hem of a plane, which was ready to take off. It was only missing you two. “You’ll have roughly an hour to study that brief.” He said as he grabbed both your bags and slung them over his shoulders. 

You saw Laswell standing at the rear ramp of the plane, awaiting you. When you got to her, she handed you a data pad.

“You will have full surveillance access. I suppose I don’t have to explain anything to you.” You shook your head. 

She smiled and shook your hand. “I heard you’re good at what you do, so this is your chance to prove it.”

“Yes, ma'am,” You answered, and a hand on your back urged you to board. Familiar faces greeted you, and that’s when the feeling hit you again. You realized you would really be part of 141 for the first time. Even if it was just for intelligence, you were there, with them. With John. If only this could always be the case - but who were you kidding? You were not as experienced and lethal as any of these men. You’d be a liability, exactly why you would stay out of anyone's way and just quietly look at your data pad. But one could dream. 

You took a seat next to Gaz, who greeted you with a fist bump when you sat down. Soap, sitting opposite, smiled from ear to ear, ready to tease his Captain about his girlfriend, no matter how serious the situation you were in. But he knew better, so he just kept looking between you and Price, chewing his gum and looking like he was planning something mischievous.

Ghost was buried in the mission brief, same as you were about to be, and didn’t pay any attention to you.

“Okay, listen boys,” Price began and was interrupted by Soap immediately, who giggled and whispered, “And girl.”

Price sighed. “Gaz, Soap and me will jump right into a truck and get to the stadium as fast as we can. We can’t land close, so that’s our only option. Ghost and Fox, there will be a helo waiting for you. You’ll be our exfil.”

Then he turned to you. “Like I said, you're under Ghost's command as soon as we leave this plane.” He didn’t actually have to remind you, he was just looking for a reason to turn his attention to you and look into your eyes. Maybe for his own reassurance, to gather strength to prepare for battle, maybe to remind himself that he had someone to come out of this battle alive for. 

You blinked slowly and smiled. “I know, Captain.” 

As much as you would like to grab his hand and tell him everything would be okay, this was neither the time nor the place for it. Also, you weren’t sure if you would believe yourself. The touch of your hand would probably give away how nervous you were, as you were trying to hide it by holding on to the mission brief as tightly as you could. It was a mission brief like any other, just that this time there were so many civilians and a notorious terrorist involved.

You paid extra close attention to exits and possible evac points. With a pen, you drew circles on the printed map in front of you, drawing double lines where the guys would enter the stadium. It would certainly help you with surveillance, and somehow you weren’t sure if you should be relieved that you had access to surveillance or should be worried about what you could possibly see.

In a small moment that you didn’t expect, the Captain broke out of his character, and a hand found your chin. The scratchy fabric of the glove he was wearing tilted your head up so you would look at him. He didn’t say a word, but offered you a smile in return to yours earlier. Just a fracture of a second, and then his entire demeanor shifted back to serious mode.

“We’re 2 minutes out. Get ready.” His voice loud, speaking over the roaring engine for everyone to hear.

And then it all happened so incredibly fast. Price, Gaz and Soap jumped into the truck that was waiting for them, while you and Ghost stayed behind. You knew him, you had met him a few times before when John introduced you, but you always had a feeling he didn’t like you very much. You knew he wasn’t a man of many words, but that didn’t really help with the feeling.

Ghost nodded towards you when you exited the plane, then gestured for you to follow him. He led you to a helicopter, and when you entered, your breath got caught in your lungs. General Shepherd was sitting there, equally stunned when he spotted you.

“Hello, sir.” You said and saluted, but he just looked right past you.

“Is this a joke?” He was clearly talking to Ghost.

“No, sir.”

“What is she doing here?”

“Intelligence, sir.”

“Who authorized that?”

“Laswell.”

He had his phone out faster than you could blink. You turned to Ghost, who looked like he didn’t give a damn about what was going on. He grabbed a sniper rifle from his weapons bag and prepared it. 

“Are you out of your goddamn mind, Laswell?” Your attention was back to Shepherd, who was clearly upset about you being there.

“There is no time for this, General. Let her do her work, you won’t be disappointed. Don’t let her leave the helo under any circumstances.” Laswell was clearly not amused by the call, you could hear her voice booming through the cell.

“I don’t take orders from you, it’s the other way around, and I say she can’t be here.” 

“Well, it’s too late for that. She has my data pad. Let her do her work.”

The helicopter took you closer to the stadium, close enough to have a view of it, but far enough away to stay out of any trouble. But the situation was worse than you had anticipated. Either nobody knew, or you weren’t told so you’d keep your cool. Either way, the sight of fire and smoke rising from the building and upset civilians running everywhere made you feel uneasy. You watched as the chaos seemed to be in full progress. You weren’t here to prevent anything, you were here to do damage control. You came to realize that this was about capturing the terrorist, not stopping an attack.

You instantly started to worry about the others who would run into this mess head on. 

“I’ll be on overwatch. I’ll be back for exfil.” Ghost said, not even looking at any of you, and then he was gone. He had pulled you out of your thoughts, and that’s when you realized you needed to get a grip. It was a terrorist attack. The team relied on you for information. This was no time to be worried.

You sat on the opposite side of the helo, trying to avoid any possible conversation with the General. You took out the data pad and started getting to work. Laswell had thought of everything, you had access to surveillance, news and police reports and even the hospital communication.

“Oh shit.” You muttered, Shepherd instantly focusing on you. “What now?” A very annoyed sound left his mouth, which made you want to roll your eyes at him. If everyone else was confident about bringing you here, he should not be so dismissive towards you. But could you blame him? Probably not.

You focused on the data in front of you. Stolen ambulance reports, break ins into several hospitals - it couldn’t have been a coincidence. In the past hour or so, there were reports across the entire city that uniforms, medical equipment and ambulances had been missing. On the surveillance cameras, you spotted paramedics and ambulances everywhere. Of course, you did. There were casualties everywhere. But why would the reports be about stolen properties when the medical staff were there doing their job? 

You knew the answer.

You fumbled with the buttons on your radio. “Fox to Bravo 0-6, don’t trust the paramedics, I repeat, the paramedics are his men!”

You didn’t hear anything back immediately, and the General shot you a worrying look. He suddenly didn’t seem to mind that you were there anymore.

Static came back through your radio. “The police, too. They are shooting at civilians!” Soap’s voice roared through the helo. 

“Heard, Fox. We just found out the hard way. No sign of Makarov, moving ahead. Gaz out.” You always noticed that Gaz was usually the one keeping a level head in these missions.

“What do you mean, you found out the hard way?” You cringed a little for asking this question as soon as it was out of your mouth, since it was not really professional, but you knew this mission was way more serious than anything you had ever done. So naturally, you were worried about everyone.

A few moments passed before a voice spoke through your radio. “Soap got hit in the chest plate. No need to worry. We have it under control and thanks to your info we might have a lead.” Price’s voice calmed you down a little. “Gold Eagle Actual,” Price’s voice was audible once again. “Explosives located, but no sign of Makarov.”

“Copy. They set up a cordon, so he will have to exfil fast. Don’t let him escape.” Shepherd answered, also looking at a data pad.

“Roger that. Fox, check surveillance in the garage for anything suspicious. If an ambulance is how they got in, it might be their way out.”

You pressed the button on the radio. “Got it, Captain. Fox out.” You answered and immediately went to work. But no matter what camera you accessed, it was no use. Everything was blocked by buses or the camera was showing you images of black and white static. You could offer absolutely no help.

You kept switching back and forth, but to no avail. There were no comms, nothing. It was as if suddenly there was a standstill and nothing was moving. The camera footage was more like a photograph. You looked at the General, who was on the phone with someone, he didn’t seem to be as bothered by the situation as you were. 

“All stations. We have Makarov. Moving to the extract.”

A heavy weight that kept spreading on your shoulders was suddenly gone. You looked up at Shepherd, who looked more smug about the terrorist being caught than relieved to hear that the soldiers were alive and well.

The helo started to lift off, moving in closer for exfil.

“We’re on the east side of the stadium. What’s your status?” Price asked.

“We are close.” Shepherd looked through the window, then checked his watch. 

Ghost’s voice boomed through the radio for the first time this day. “Be advised, there is enemy personnel moving in from the north. I’m on overwatch, providing sniper support.”

“Affirm. We see the helo. Meet you at primary exfil. Six out.”

There he was. The most wanted terrorist sitting about six feet away from you. He was restrained and unarmed, and you were surrounded by the best soldiers you knew, yet his presence made you incredibly anxious. It didn’t help that he was smirking, staring at you. 

“Didn’t know you had such beautiful women around, General.” His thick Russian accent was poisoning the surrounding air.

“Shut up.” Price said.

“She can’t speak for herself? That mouth only good for -”

“Shut up.” You responded in what little Russian you could muster, your British accent thick with it though, definitely better in understanding than speaking it.

His grin only grew wider. “Russian sounds filthy from your lips, love.” Your stomach twisted. 

“Don’t call me love -”

“She said shut up.” Ghost said at the same time. “What’s the rest of your plan?”

“Ah, Simon Riley. I expected you to stay at the airport. And die there.”

“Don’t threaten my men, Vladimir.” General Shepherd leaned back against the helo and grabbed onto the railing for support.

"I asked you a question." When you looked at Ghost, he was towering over Makarov, Soap just a few inches next to him. They both looked absolutely terrifying, at least to you.

“This.” Makarov answered, still with a smirk on his face.

Price leaned forward. “What do you mean, ‘this’?”

“Amazing, you’re all dumber than you look.”

Then suddenly there was a loud bang in the distance. Your ears rang with a high-pitched noise for a second, before you could even realize what just happened. There clearly was an explosion somewhere. You looked at Price, whose eyes immediately found yours to assure himself you were okay, and you gave a slight nod.

Ghost looked out of the window to confirm. “The airport! He pulled us off target!”

“You fuckin’ sonuvabitch!” You had never seen Soap lose his temper before. They tumbled and moved so fast you could barely follow, but suddenly, Makarov was on the ground, Soap above him, with his gun aimed at the terrorist’s head. “I’ll blow your fucking brains out, Makarov, you hear me? I swear to god, I'll do it!” Soap shouted, and suddenly everyone tried to talk louder over the other. Price was trying to deescalate the situation, Makarov was taunting Soap to pull the trigger, General Shepherd was barking out demands for everyone to stand down. “I say we need him alive. Captain, get your soldier to stand down!”

“Sergeant, stand down.” Price repeated. “We have him, he is in custody, he’s not going anywhere.” His hand rested on Soap’s shoulder as if it would calm him down.

A few more seconds passed before Soap retreated, Makarov was being pulled off the ground while tutting towards him. 

“I’ll be seeing you again, MacTavish.” 

That grin. It was burned into your memories from this moment forward.

The words echoed through your head. He was going to be in the most secure gulag possible, yet somehow the words still haunted you. 

It wasn't just a threat. It was a promise.

John Zorn had  a trio with the legendary drummer Milford Graves and bassist Bill Laswell (someone please take away his chorus pedal), and they were joined by Peter Evans for the last piece. I had to split before Ava Mendoza’s Unnatural Ways.

The Line - Part 14

Reader and John have always straddled the line between playful flirting and taking things further. However when they are forced into a safe house and a secret comes out will they be able to save what they were heading for or is all lost.

Reader x John Price, Ghost, Soap, Gaz, Laswell, Original characters.

MDNI

Warnings: Starts fluff, ends angst. Trouble, violence.

Y/N had never been happier. Her and John had fully embraced being together and everyone could see how in love with each other they were. He doted on her, wouldn’t let her lift a finger and was constantly asking if she needed anything. 

It was Christmas morning and after spending the last hour making love to each other they finally joined the family in the living room where everyone gathered to open presents. John had gotten Y/N her coffee and was snuggled up next to her, his arm wrapped around her shoulder. 

They watched as the children all opened their presents, allowing them to go first was somewhat a tradition so the adults could later open their presents in peace. It was a heartwarming scene that the men weren’t used too, usually spending their holidays on missions or on the base. 

After the kids were all done and now thoroughly occupied with their new toys and gadgets the adults started their Christmas. Ava opened her gifts for her and Clara from Simon and cried seeing the thoughtful gifts. Others laughed and smiled as they opened gifts from each other and the guys all got gifts from the family, which they didn’t expect. 

Finally Y/N got up and grabbed a bag walking over to each of the team and handing a small box. Handing John his last. 

“What’s this?” Kyle asked and Y/N smiled. 

“Why don’t you open it and find out.” Y/N smiled.

All the guys opened the boxes to reveal a compass inside. On the top was their callsign and when they opened it the task force 141 logo was inside. 

“So you always find your way home to your family, if you’re ever lost.” 

“Y/N this is proper nice. Thank you!” Gaz grinned. 

“Yeah thanks love.” Johnny added

Simon just winked at her and nodded his head. She knew he would corner her later and thank her.

Y/N glanced over at John who hadn’t opened his yet and was just looking at her with a smile on his face. 

“Open yours. It’s a bit different.” 

On the face it said Captain but when he opened it there was an etching of a Belladonna flower inside. 

“So you always find your way home to me.” She whispered and he smiled before kissing her. 

“Always.” He whispered back. “Did you call Kate?” 

They had had a discussion the night before about the transfer and Y/N agreed to stay. 

“Yeah, we spoke this morning. She didn’t even file the paperwork when she got it. Figured I would change my mind.” 

John smiled and then reached behind him and pulled out a gift for Y/N. 

“Happy Christmas love.” 

She opened it to see a first edition copy of Pride and Prejudice. Her favourite book.. 

“John, this is crazy! How did you get this?”

“I have my ways. Do you like it?” 

Tears formed in her eyes and she wrapped her arms around him. 

“Thank you, I love it.” 

The rest of the day was spent with amazing food, some games and talking. It was, in Y/N’s opinion, a perfect day. Both her families were together in one place. Dinner was amazing as usual and eventually everyone made their way to bed, happy and full. 

Y/N and John were laying in bed cuddling in each other's arms talking about the day and how wonderful it was when suddenly a red light started flashing above the bed. Y/N jumped up. 

“Get dressed, that’s the perimeter alarm.” She said as she reached over and pressed a button on the wall. 

Around him he could hear mechanical noises and then looked at the window just as a metal shield covered it. 

“What’s happening?”

“Don’t know yet.” 

She grabbed a handgun out of her nightstand and handed it to John before reaching up above her door pushing on the wall revealing a panel. When it opened there was an assault rifle which she grabbed. 

“Come on.” 

She led them out of the room and saw Simon with Ava and Clara getting ready to go down to the safe room through the cold storage room. 

“Si, take John, look at the cameras and figure out what’s going on. I’ll go help get everyone else down here. Contact Kate too, see if we can get an overview of the situation.” 

Simon nodded and ushered his family through the door as Y/N turned to head upstairs. 

“Y/N, be careful.” John called after her and she smiled

“I always am.” 

She raced up the stairs and made it to the base of the stairs leading to the third floor when she ran into Johnny. 

“Wat in ta hell is goin on?” 

“We don’t know. Go grab Grandma. She won’t make it downstairs fast enough. John and Si are down there looking at the cameras.” 

The rest of the family started coming down the stairs and Y/N was directing them to the basement. Johnny came back with her grandma in his arms and Momma Lynn right behind them. 

“Get them in the safe room, me and Kyle will clear and secure these floors and meet you down there.” She instructed and he nodded. 

Kyle was heading down the stairs with the gun that was hidden in his room but Y/N stopped him. 

“Let’s sweep up here and then we can secure this floor.” 

They went room to room checking everywhere for anyone left behind or anyone who wasn’t supposed to be there but it was clean. When they were done Y/N reached up and pressed a button on the top of each door frame causing a metal gate to come down. 

“Wow you’re dad made this house insanely secure.” Kyle 

“Yeah he wanted to make sure we’re safe. Even the windows are bullet proof. Let’s do the main floor. Same thing, clear a room and then shut the gate over the door.” 

They made their way through securing every internal door, all external doors and windows previously covered when Y/N put the house in lock down. Finally they made their way down to the safe room which was behind one of the two doors that they had not been through in this area. Knowing the family was safe they headed back to the conference room.

“What’s going on?” She asked, walking over to where Simon, John and Johnny were looking at several monitors. 

“It’s not good. Several hostiles advancing on the North side.” 

“You get Kate?” 

“I’m here Y/N.” A voice came from one of the monitors.

“What are we looking at?” 

“There are about fifteen hostiles on the North side advancing to the fence. There are an additional eight heading east along the fence line."

“Alright, Simon, John and Kyle you take the North, me and Johnny will head East. Let’s get ready.” 

They went back into the locker room and Y/N led them to a bank of smaller lockers. When they opened there were winter camos with vests and all the gear they needed. They quickly got into their gear and then went into the armory to get armed. 

Charlie was standing there with Emma and they were loading guns for the family. Five guns laid out, as the girls expertly got them ready. 

“You get those loaded and you get the door closed. You don’t open it for anyone, do you hear me?” Simon instructed and Charlie nodded. 

“Yeah Si we got this.” 

They took the guns and left the room, the sound of a door closing and locking filled the room. 

“Grab what you need.” He then instructed the group. 

Above them they heard an explosion but Y/N and Simon didn’t seem bothered. 

“House is secure, they can’t get in no matter how hard they hit it. The frame is practically indestructible.”  Y/N assured them. 

After grabbing their guns Y/N led them back upstairs through the cold storage room. They went to the far side of the laundry room where she reached over and pulled a lever that opened yet another secret door that led to a tunnel.  

“Alright, me and Soap are right, the rest of you head left.” 

Simon and Kyle started walking to the left and Soap to the right but John walked over to Y/N. 

“Be safe out there.” He leaned over and kissed the top of her head. 

“You too.” 

He turned and left her taking one last quick look back at her. 

She then ran to catch up with Soap and they quickly made their way through the tunnel. Eventually they had made their way to a door that Y/N pushed open and they found themselves in a root cellar. 

“Alright, up the stairs and out the door take a left and we’re facing the forest. It’s open ground until we get to the forest so stay sharp.” 

Soap nodded and they quickly went up the stairs. Y/N slowly opened the outside door and took a look around before exiting. They ran quickly, making it to the forest in record time. 

“They are climbing the east wall. Belladonna , Soap I see you, straight ahead.” 

“Got it Watcher approaching now.” Soaps voice 

They silently headed in the direction of the wall but then stopped when Kate’s voice warned them of two approaching hostiles.

“It’s quiet on this side.” One of the men said. 

“Too quiet.” the other agreed. 

They were approaching the tree that Y/N was crouched behind and she motioned to Soap to stay where he was. She pulled out two knives and held them in her hands. When they reached the tree she threw her hands backwards stabbing them both in their lower stomachs before ripping out the knives turning around and driving them up through their chins into their heads. 

“Weel tha was effective.” Soap smirked. 

Y/N however was preoccupied looking at their uniforms. 

“Guys we have a problem.” She said into the coms while motioning at the crests on their uniforms to Soap. 

“What’s wrong?” Price’s voice sounded strained. 

“These guys are Kortac.” 

“What the fuck.” Simon sounded just as strained. 

“Yeah I’m looking at the uniforms now.” 

“Why the fuck did they agree to work with Bako?” Kyle asked and Y/N sighed. 

“Let’s just figure this out first and deal with this after.” 

In front of them Soap and Y/N heard a branch break but couldn’t see anything. 

“Watcher how many are approaching?” 

“I’ve got nothing on screen. They are all just standing by the perimeter wall.” 

“Someone’s here, we can hear them.”

Y/N pulled up thermal but couldn’t see anything. Suddenly there was a flash in front of her eyes like a person had run in front of her. 

“What was that? Soap, what are you seeing?” 

Beside her she heard a body drop and she looked over to see Soap on the ground. She ran over to him while calling out on the coms. 

“Man down. Soap is down. There’s someone…” 

She felt something hit her neck and then everything went black. 

—------------------

“Bells. BELLS. Y/N copy.” John yelled

There was an explosion behind him and he shoved his finger into his other ear trying desperately to hear anything on the other end. 

“Watcher, what’re you seeing?” 

“Their beacons are there but they aren’t moving.” 

“Cap, it looks like they’re retreating.” Kyle peaked over the wall. 

“Kyle, stay here, watch this wall. Simon with me.” 

John ran with Simon beside him, the snow under their feet frustratingly slowing their process. 

“Soap. Bells. Answer now.” John barked 

They were met with silence and John could see that Simon was passing him so he motioned for him to go ahead. 

They made their way up the hill in front of the forest and Simon disappeared into the trees. 

“Watcher, what do you see?” 

“Both Soap and Belladonna’s trackers are in place, neither have moved. No threats present.” 

John pushed forward with all he had and past the clearing and pushed through on the other side. 

“Captain, I have Soap no sign of Belladonna.” 

John joined up with Simon seeing him kneeling in front of Johnny. 

“Is he alive?” 

“Yeah he’s breathing. Had this in his neck.” Simon held up a dart of some kind. 

“Watcher, where is she pinging? We don’t see her.” John frantically looked around them

“She is to your left about one hundred yards.” 

He walked over that way and looked around not seeing her. 

“Watcher?” 

“You’re practically right on top of her, John.”

He started scanning the forest floor and his stomach dropped seeing her beacon. 

“Ghost, get over here.” 

“Did you find her?” Simon came up behind him and saw the beacon. “FUCK.” 

“Watcher where did they go? Which way? They have Y/N.” 

“They headed east. There is a small town there with an air field.”

“We have to catch them before they get to that airport or we'll have no idea where they’re taking her.” 

John and Simon jumped into the pickup truck, speeding off towards the gate. Once clear of it they headed east on the gravel road, the truck fishtailing as Simon hammered on the gas.  

“You need to go faster.” John grunted in frustration. 

“You don’t think I know that? This is as fast as this truck will go. My foot is on the floor John.” 

“FUCK!” He suddenly cried out and smashed his hand against the dashboard. “How did we let this happen? I should’ve gone with her to the East and let Soap cover the North with you.”

“Then you’d be unconscious right now instead of Johnny. There was nothing he could’ve done differently just like there’s nothing you could’ve done. So just stop and let me focus on driving.” 

They had made it ten minutes down the road when they were ambushed. Bullets whizzed through the air, several hitting the truck. Simon slammed on the breaks and they jumped out of the truck shooting at the source of their ambush. John was ready to step out from behind the truck and run at the assailants but Simon grabbed him by the back of his vest and pulled him back. 

“You’re no good to anyone dead for fuck sakes.” 

“We don’t have time for this!” John yelled and Simon pushed him against the truck. 

“I fucking know that. She’s my fucking sister and I am barely holding it together. I don’t have the capacity right now to fucking babysit you so get your shit together. NOW.” 

John nodded curtly but felt the truck sag to the left. They had blown one of the tires on the truck. His heart sank. He froze and broke out in sweat. They weren't going to make it. They were going to lose her. 

The gunshots around them ceased and they heard a vehicle take off at a fast speed. They had accomplished their mission. John walked to the front of the truck and saw steam pouring out of the radiator also noticing two flat tires now. They had no way to follow now and John dropped to his knees. 

“Watcher?” Simon said into the coms. 

It took Kate a moment to answer and when she did her voice was quiet. 

“We lost them. They jammed our satellite feed.” 

John heard Simon scream followed by the sound of breaking glass. He’d punched out one of the windows in the truck most likely injuring himself. 

John stared into the darkness in disbelief. They just started their life together but now she was gone and there was nothing he could do to save her.

The Lighthouse (CH.1)

Years of dating and raising a baby boy.

Price had decided to throw in the towel and retire. He trusted Kate and Soap to take over.

Now, John would admit, he and Phil were probably overprotective of Kyle, but, how they found him was… horrible.

And he remembered it every time he looked at him.

—

Price woke up, hearing Phil over in the kitchen to make them breakfast, and he smiled, getting up to see him.

He had just finished up, and he smiled, "Morning, John."

"Morning, my dear." He plated his food, and they sat down, but Phil saw something outside

"Get it after breakfast." John said, "it's probably just the post."

Phil nodded, sitting down and eating while they spoke about their plans for the day. John had taken him off the crew for now, since he was injured, but he was getting better and likely would be able to go back. 

John went outside to check the porch, and-

He froze when he heard a little whimper, and he looked down.

To see a little basket, with a little baby inside, and a note.

"I'm sorry. Please take care of him. I can't anymore. His name is Kyle. He's a magic user."

And he immediately felt attached to him.

He picked the child up, and looked into his eyes.

He felt a small cold patch on his shirt, and saw that he had turned it to ice.

He sighed, yelling for Phil, who looked shocked.

"Oh my God!" He yelled, going up to him.

"Phil, please, watch him, I'm going to the village to get supplies." John said, and Phil nodded

"I'll be back."

Phil sat on the couch, calming down and putting the child to sleep.

"You'll be alright... your safe now, little one." He whispered, wrapping him in a blanket, “You might be a little warm. But, I’ll make you a blanket, just for you, Okay?”

He knew he had too. This child was now theirs. He would never go back to the crew. He knew what he had to do.

John finally came back with baby formula and clothes, and gently took him from Phil, giving him a break from holding him to feed him.

“The note said he was only five months old.” John said as he started feeding him, “His name is Kyle. A magic user.”

“Where are the Sigils?”

He briefly checked, unwrapping the blanket, seeing two small Sigils. Ice and Teleknises.

“I’m disbanding the crew for a while.” John said, “he needs to be taken care of.”

“John, I have it-” 

“It’s not fair to you. We are going to raise him together.”

So they did.

Kyle was eighteen now. He was still young, but he had grown up. He was their baby boy. He always would be.

“Morning, little one.” John said as he got to the kitchen, seeing Kyle at the counter, turning a small glass of water to ice.

“Hey, dad.”

“You hungry?”

Kyle nodded softly, and John smiled, “What would you like?” he asked, moving in front of him.

“Pancakes?” Kyle said, looking up from the glass.

John nodded, “Of course.” He looked down, “I don’t understand why you do this. It just drains your energy.”

Kyle shrugged, pushing his braided hair behind his shoulder, “its calming and entertaining.”

“Its draining.”

“Not on such a small thing. If I were to freeze the sea, it would be.”

John chuckled softly, “Oh, Kyle, what am I gonna do with you, mate?”

“Probably be a little confused because I’m not big on sailing and fishing.”

“Nope, we all love your paintings and how creative you are. Such a smart boy, you are.”

He smiled slightly, pulling his hand away from the glass.

“Your a precious little thing.” John said, giving him a plate of pancakes, gently cradling his face.

“I agree.” Phil said as he walked in, kissing Kyle’s forehead, “perfect little boy.”

Kyle smiled a little, “You remind me every day.” He said as he started eating.

“Becuase its true.” John said, smiling down at him.

Kyle smiled, “Thank you.” He whispered.

Once he finished eating, he went back to his room to get his drawing stuff and head out to sketch the ocean.

“Be back for lunch!” John called out before Kyle left.

“I will be!” He ran out the door, out to his favorite spot to draw.

“John?” 

“Hm?”

“Do you… think he’s alright? With just us, soap, Kate and Ava? He only goes to the village to draw… don’t you think he’s lonely?”

He paused, sighing. “I’m… not sure. I feel like he would bring it up to us. Or it would be clear that he was… upset.”

“I just… I don’t know, he’s eighteen now. I feel like he just… needs people around him.”

John nodded, “well… we can ask if he feels lonely. And if he does, then… we can try to get him out more.”

Phil nodded, sitting at the counter, “How’s the crew doing?”

He smiled, sitting with him, “It’s good. I’m going to finally retire, leave Kate and Soap in charge.”

Phil lit up, “Really?”

“It’s time. And I want to be around you and Kyle more.”

Phil smiled, leaning on him, “I’m glad. I’d love to have you around more.”

Eventually, John started to make lunch, and Phil went out to collect their son.

"Kyle! Where are you?" he called out, walking through the field.

"Coming!" He heard from down the hill, where the dock to the ocean was.

He smirked, but then got a little confused. Why was he down there?

Then he saw the tree that Kyle normally sat on, a branch had snapped.

He panicked, running a hand through his hair before looking to the hill, about to head down when he saw Kyle coming up.

"Kyle! There you are!" He yelled, running up to him, "the tree- did you fall? You're soaked- are you hurt?"

He shook his head, "I fell... I'm okay..."

"Come, let's get you home, changed and warm." He said, gently pulling Kyle along, "Did you hit your head?"

"I'm okay, pops, really."

He sighed, kissing Kyle's forehead, "Okay. Dad's still going to check you out, though, okay?"

"I'm not a child... I'm 18."

"You'll always be our little baby boy." he smiled, “Come on, let’s get home.”

He noticed how Kyle kept looking out to the ocean, but he was just focused on getting him home.

“John!”

He looked over, and panicked, running up to him.

“What happened, son?”

“The tree snapped… I fell.”

“Go get changed, I’ll get a fire going.”

He nodded, going off to his room. He was walking good, he didn’t look hurt, but they were still worried.

Kyle came back out, sitting on the couch in front of the fire, eating the food that John made.

“Are you okay, little one?” John asked.

“I’m fine. Shaken, is all.”

He wasn’t bleeding, at least.

“And your magic?”

He looked at the side table, making a small glass of water float, bringing it towards himself to freeze it, which he did.

“Okay… that’s good.” He gently kissed Kyle’s temple, taking his braid out, “eat and rest, okay?”

Kyle nodded, looking down at his half empty plate, eating what he had left before putting it off to the side and laying down on the couch.

Phil sighed, laying a blanket over him, “There’s a storm on the way.” He said to John.

He nodded, “Let’s get to the village. We need to get supplies.”

They had to prepare for that storm. And they needed to do it quick. Warn the village. Make sure Kyle was safe.

They had a little time.

Day 11: Gift shopping

Gazalex

Alex smiled as he heard something be placed at the door, and he went out, seeing the packages he was waiting for. It was a few gifts that he had ordered for everyone.

For Laswell and Ava, it was a few pieces of Decor they'd been wanting. 

For Ghost, it was a set of bullet casings that he mentioned a while ago.

For Soap, since he always needed something to keep his hands busy, it was a butterfly knife.

For Price and Graves… They were notoriously difficult to shop for. Kyle was taking care of it for both of them.

Speaking of Kyle, the jewelry he ordered came in. A necklace, and two bracelets. Matching ones, for him and Kyle.

But he still needed to get a few more things for everyone, so he decided to run to the store and see what he could find.

There were a few nice-looking art kits, but he wanted something even better than that for Kyle.

He found sets of the pencils Kyle always bought, as well as the pens. He also found paint markers that he wanted to try.

He found a few smaller fidget toys, and thought Soap would like them.

He found a nice set of throwing knives, and figured Ghost would like them.

He managed to find some decor and picture frames that matched what Ava and Kate wanted.

He happily went back home, hoping to hide everything from Kyle.

Which wasn't always as easy as it sounded
