Call Me Rio and I’ll Call You Jack Ch. 1

Call Me Rio and I’ll Call You Jack Ch. 1

AU Note: THIS HAS MANY SPOILERS FOR PURPLE HEARTS, IF YOU HAVE NOT READ IT, DON’T READ THIS.

Now that that’s taken care of: we didn’t get to see a lot of the budding relationship between Rio and Jack after the war. But guess who has a few ideas about what happened. Me. The answer is me.

So, this little story will have a lot of fluff and maybe a little smut. Maybe? I lied. It will have smut, but later on. I’ll tell you when it’s coming and when it’s done so you can bypass it if you don’t want to read.

 1964

Kid knew something was familiar about the man that limped up to her desk, cane in hand. She knew the signs of veterans, being one herself and working with them for almost ten years now.

But, studying the man, she knew that him being a veteran wasn’t why he was familiar.

“Can I help you?” she asked, noticing that he wasn’t in uniform, when he had pressed up against the desk to get out of the traffic in the room, “Sir, how did you get in here?”

The red-haired man smiled and pointed to the man right behind him, battling the many people trying to push him out of the way, “Frank let me in.”

“Not even close,” the supposed-Frank said, “Child, right?”

She nodded.

“He’s here to see your boss.”

The caned man turned to her and smiled, “I’m here to see your boss. I’m assuming it’s Rio?”

Kid made a confused face.

“Richlin. Rio Richlin. West Point. Medal of Honor. I don’t know what her rank is anymore. She was a sergeant when I knew her.”

“And what’s your purpose for being here?” Kid asked.

“Well, Child, a scary Sam—“ he turned around fast and the man behind him shook his head, “Damn. I’ll guess it right, don’t you worry. Anyway, this scary man in the suit showed up at my flat in London and told me by order of Rainy Schulterman that I was to pack a bag and leave with him. I got on a plane and now I’m here.”

Kid was silent for a second and then, “I’m sorry. Are you--?”

“Jack Stafford, at your service. You are?”

“Sergeant Melinda Child.” She shook his hand, “Wow. Okay. I had read about you, from, you know, the memoir, but I never thought…. I’m going to see if Colonel’s available.”

“Please do.”

Kid almost ran to Richlin’s office, knocking softly before entering and closing the door quickly behind her, “Colonel.”

She shot a hasty and somewhat sloppy salute towards a bewildered Rio, “There’s someone here to see you.”

Richlin looked back down at the papers in front of her, “Tell the major that whatever it is, I don’t care.”

“Ma’am. It’s not the major.”

When Rio came out of her office she was both the most happy and nervous that she had ever been in her life. The folks in the office were known for pulling pranks, but never against her. And the way that Kid had seemed completely flabber-ghasted meant that he was really here. He had to be. It would be a cruel joke if he wasn’t.

But there he was, still so utterly recognizable even if his face had aged and his clothes changed. It was still Jack. And it was still his smile.

“Hey, Sarge.”

Rio’s awe-filled gaze changed to one of pure joy, and before she knew it she was across the room and in his arms.

The whole room stopped. Literally. People stopped moving, phones dropped from ears, conversations died instantly as everyone watched their lieutenant colonel throw herself into the stranger’s arms.

“What are you doing here?” she asked, finally withdrawing, but not really letting go.

“Well, I am a gift from Rainy.”

“Rainy?! That bitch. You know she’s working for the ‘commerce department’ now?”

“No shit.”

“Just saw her about a week ago.”

Jack turned to look over his shoulder, “Bob, do you work for the commerce department?”

The man in the suit crossed his arms, “My name is not Bob. And sure, I work for the commerce department.”

Jack twisted again to look at Rio, “You know, he also told me that his name was Ben, but I didn’t believe him then either.”

Rio laughed, “It’s good to see you, Jack.” Realizing that it was too quiet, she turned towards the soldiers working, “Don’t you all have a job to do? I can give you one!”

Jack smiled as the government building returned to normal (while still watching the Colonel of course). “Well, some things just never change, now do they?”

“I thought I had gotten a lot better at that!” Rio said, half-heartedly offended.

Jack laughed, “You doing that yelling anywhere else these days?”

“What do you mean?”

“Kids, of course.”

Rio laughed, “The only kid I have is Kid,” she said, pointing to Melinda Child, “I got out of screaming households a while ago.” At Jack’s raised eyebrows, Rio explained, “I’m divorced.”

“Oh, yes! The pilot. Castain sent me a letter. Told me you were getting married and also told me not to worry because it wouldn’t last long.”

“You’re kidding me? She did that?”

“I’m not lying.”

“Oh, God!” Rio covered her eyes mortified, but before long was smiling up at him.

“Say, Rio, do you have a lunch break soon?” Jack asked.

Child was right behind Rio, “She already went to lunch.”

“But coffee will do just fine,” Rio smoothly interjected. “Let me grab my things. Kid, if that major shows up, tell him to fug off. I’ll be back before the meeting at two.”

“Got it, Colonel.”

As Rio came back, tying a scarf around her neck, she turned to Rainy’s agent, “Tell your boss that she’s not being very subtle.”

Then, the whole building watched as their boss left work early for the first time.

 “What have you been up to, Jack?” Rio made sure to slow down her pace to match Stafford’s limping steps.

“Working mostly. As a real-estate agent in London.”

“Really?”

“Shocking, I know. Your job, however, is not shocking. I always knew you were bound to abandon your own and become an officer.”

“Ouch, Stafford. That hurts!” Yet, they both laughed at the familiar joke. “Any kids of your own?” she asked, looking straight ahead.

“Never married actually.”

Rio looked up, shocked, “Really?”

Jack shrugged, looking straight into her eyes, “I never found anyone that measured up. I went on a couple of dates, of course, but no one ever stuck around.”

“I can’t imagine why they would ever leave.”

Rio realized her mistake as soon as she said the words. “I would assume you wouldn’t have to imagine, since you should know.”

“Look, Jack, I—“

“Did you come visit me? When I was at the medical station back in Germany?”

“You don’t remember?”

Jack thought back to that time, “I remember the shape of you, but I don’t know if that was real or a dream. I didn’t know what to believe I was on so many painkillers.”

“You had a whole conversation with me. And I sat by your bed until they knew without a doubt that you were going to live.”

“What did we talk about?”

“You. Going back to Britain. I told you that your job was done, and you told me that you weren’t going to give up fighting until either the war was won or I left it. Then you went back to sleep and I made sure you were on a ship headed home before you woke up.”

Jack was silent for a moment, “I don’t remember that.”

Rio looked up at him as they entered the coffee shop, “For what it’s worth, the whole platoon went home after that. What was left of it, at least. Those who were POWs got released a week after the Russians took Berlin.”

“You didn’t let me come back with you,” Jack stated.

Rio shook her head.

“Why?”

Richlin shrugged, “For lots of reasons: Britain was your home, you were injured, I was your sergeant, I had already given myself to someone else—“

“I thought you didn’t care about that. That’s what it said in the memoir.”

“God, I hate that thing.” She took a deep breath, “I didn’t care when I was on the battlefield, but back out here…I knew it would mean more. I knew that people would expect me to marry Strand and if I had brought you back here, you would have married a fallen woman.”

“Maybe I wouldn’t have cared.”

“Maybe. But other people would.”

Jack laughed, stepping up to order his coffee. Even by the time they were sitting down with the steaming cups, Jack was still shaking his head, “I should have known. I should have known that it wasn’t that you couldn’t have been happy with me. It was because of your stupid sense of self-sacrifice.”

He laughed a little, and Rio looked down at her cup.

“Rio. Just answer me one thing, honestly: would you be happy with me? If I stayed here, could I make you happy?”

Rio shook her head, “Jack, you have a life in Britain—“

“That’s not what I asked, Rio. Could you be happy with me? Can we try it? Just for a little while. And see if this, us, is worth looking into.”

Rio looked at him, as he shifted nervously in his chair. She grabbed his hand in hers, “Jack, I would love to try. You just need to make sure that this is what you want. I won’t leave the States, which means if this works out, you would be giving up your life. You need to think about what you’re doing.”

Jack shook his head, “I don’t need to think. I would give up the world for a chance to be with you.”

Reasons to Love Frangie Marr

- enlisted in a deadly war to support her family - helps little animals - wants to become a doctor - became an army medic - stayed behind in a camp being overrun by nazis to give comfort to a man who would die either way - treated germans while captured because her compassion is unending - helped miss lion - volunteered to be a field medic rather than stay safe - got hit by a grenade - lost a finger - kept treating soldiers - saved a man who would have died before passing out - learning to accept her self-worth after being pushed down all her life - a true example of black excellence - she's amazing??? how do you not already love her

[annabreaksthings]

You read my mind with equally-balanced power couples! I haven't seen most of ATLA or Legend of Korra, but it's on my to-be-watched list! I love what I've seen so far of MakoxKorra.

So, questions.

2) Talk about three of the most important ships throughout your life.

#1 would have to be Fitzsimmons. I think I've talked about this before somewhere on here, but there were so many similarities to my own relationship (especially S1 & 2), it was uncanny. Like you said, their power balance was amazing (again, early seasons particularly), and I loved watching them nerd out and experience life together. They instantly felt so familiar to me! Plus, I caught my boyfriend doing Fitz's pregnant woman pose while surveying his project a couple weeks ago (he doesn't watch the show, so that makes it even better), and I'm STILL not done laughing about it.

#2 This is an obscure one, but I love John and Penny Pope in Space by James Michener. I love the way they respect each other's careers (and the demands those bring) while loving and supporting each other through everything. It's a beast of a book, but I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in space, aviation, or history (and I will gladly geek out with anyone who has read it because this book is one of my all-time favorites).

#3 Maybe James/Lily or Scorpius/Rose? I originally got on tumblr and started reading fanfic for Harry Potter content, but I couldn't stand fics that messed with canon too much, so I gravitated towards marauders or next-gen stuff where there isn't much canon, particularly these two ships. I haven't seen much HP fandom stuff lately, but I guess they're why I'm on here today!

4) What's your current NOTP?

I can't think of any canon NOTPs at the moment, but as far as fandom ships go, I really don't care for DaisyxCoulson. I've always seen their relationship as more father-daughter (at the very least, mentor-mentee), so even without considering Philinda, anything romantic just seems weird to me. But, to each their own.

20) Talk about a ship you feel alone in shipping.

I'll be the first to admit that I pretty much stick to canon ships, so this is a hard one. I do feel alone in my Front Lines ships because the fandom is so small on here! I need more Jack/Rio content in my life! (I'm working on contributing, but I am so slow and my list of WIPs is a mile long.) Besides the canon pairings, I was kind of shipping Rainy and Captain Herkemeier (for balanced power couple reasons), but I think she's far too proper to ever consider a relationship with someone who is effectively her boss.

Thanks for asking! :)

Here's the rest of the questions for anyone else who wants to talk ships with us!

Let's talk ships! How about #16 and 26?

YAY, ship talks!!! Thank you for asking 😊

16) Talk about a ship you initially disliked. I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of a ship that I went from disliking to liking (cause I know a lot that went the opposite way). I guess the best one I can think of is Zutara from Avatar: The Last Airbender. First time watching it, I was all for Aang and Katara and could not stand Zuko and Katara. But second time around, I realized how weird Kataang was. While I’m not a huge ZukoxKatara shipper, they make more sense to me than Kataang. The one that makes the most sense to me is Zuko and Aang (THE PARALLELS) lol. Plus, I now understand what it feels like when ATLA hands you your ship on a silver platter and then takes it away last second, so I’m sympathetic to Zutara shippers (Can you tell I’m bitter?) 

26) Have you noticed a pattern in your shipping? Is there a romantic dynamic you’re more drawn to? Heck yeah! I love equally-balanced power couples. Like I love MakoxKorra (from Legend of Korra), LadybugxChat Noir (from Miraculous Ladybug), ElizabethxDarcy (from Pride and Prejudice) and JakexAmy (from Brooklyn 99) because they are perfectly balanced and compliment each other; they are equally powerful and aren’t afraid to show their  strengths to each other or anyone else.

 And I love the dynamic of two people who are so close that they are simultaneously friends, lovers, and soulmates. Their bond is so deep that is undefinable. Like Philinda, Fitzsimmons (I’m not as huge on Fitzsimmons these days, but that’s the kind of love I’m talking about), and MerlinxArthur (from Merlin). 

Now, I get to ask you! How about #2, #4, #20?

Frontlines by Michael Grant

“1942. World War II. The most terrible war in human history. Millions are dead; millions more are still to die. The Nazis rampage across Europe and eye far-off America. The green, untested American army is going up against the greatest fighting force ever assembled—the armed forces of Nazi Germany. But something has changed. A court decision makes females subject to the draft and eligible for service. So in this World War II, women and girls fight, too. As the fate of the world hangs in the balance, three girls sign up to fight. Rio Richlin, Frangie Marr, and Rainy Schulterman are average girls, girls with dreams and aspirations, at the start of their lives, at the start of their loves. Each has her own reasons for volunteering. Not one expects to see actual combat. Not one expects to be on the front lines. Rio, Frangie, and Rainy will play their parts in the war to defeat evil and save the human race. They will fear and they will rage; they will suffer and they will inflict suffering; they will hate and they will love. They will fight the greatest war the world has ever known. New York Times bestselling author Michael Grant has created a masterful alternate history of World War II in Front Lines, the first volume in a groundbreaking series.” (source)

Women’s Army Corps

This week’s post is a sorta continuation of my Original Fly Girls post. Sorta in that, well, it deals with another women’s military branch. Sorta not cuz the came from Michael Grant’s Front Lines series (still in progress *sigh*). Although, Front Lines is alternative history, in which women were drafted into the war. And, well, technically speaking, two of the main girls are soldiers, one is intelligence, and one is a nurse (and, I swear, I’ll get to nurses at some point. That’s a promise. You can hold me to it. And even remind me, if you feel it necessary). Oh, well, anyways: [Below: my picture, as if that isn’t obvious enough. My YA WWII shelf that has turned into 2 shelves since the last time I took a picture myself for this series. And it’s rapidly turning into 3. Oh, and if you look hard enough, there’s a picture of Wayne Rogers.]

Summary: Rio Richlin, Jenou Castain, Frangie Marr, and Rainy Schulterman join the army, each for her own reasons - a chance to escape family, to revenge a sister’s death, to provide for the family, to kill Nazi’s because they’re killing her people. Rio seems to take to army life, killing Nazis and Eye-Ties are almost a pleasure, but this changes her in the eyes of her friends and fellow soldiers. Jenou has been Rio’s best friend forever. They joined up together, they serve together. But Jenou doesn’t have the knack Rio does. She knows her end is near. Frangie has good intentions, but her small stature makes bootcamp even more difficult, luckily, her love of caring for injured animals got her foot in the door, so now she can serve as a medic instead. And Rainy wants to use her brains to rid the world of Nazis. She wants to prove that a woman’s brain is just as good as a man’s. Together, these girls and many more serve on the front lines of the bloodiest battle in our world’s history. And they don’t back down.

I apologize profusely for nothing being overly filled-out. Sometimes it can be harder than one expects to find substantial information. Hopefully, though, this will at least give an idea of women’s roles in the army.

Women’s Army Corps (WACs):

Created during WWII “to enable women to serve in noncombat positions. Never before had women, with the exception of nurses, served within the ranks of the U.S. Army” (Source). Although, women did serve unofficially during WWI as telephone operators - their job was to “enable communications within the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) and with the allied armies” (Source). Women who were fluent in both English and French were sought out by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. They were Hello Girls; Soldiers of the Switchboard. These girls were sworn in, given uniforms, were subject to military discipline, and even served under fire, and were decorated - everything but given official military status and military benefits. But they still SERVED! 

On May 15, 1942, the Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC) was established, giving them full military status, but with little benefits. They were initially trained as switchboard operators, mechanics, and bakers, but this eventually spread to include training as postal clerks, drivers, stenographers, clerk-typists, and seamstresses. Nurses served under the Army Nurse Corps (ANC).

Initially, Americans were uncertain about women in the military, but commander, Oveta Culp Hobby, reassured them with the promise: Each woman serving will “release a man for combat” (Source). General Douglas McArthur cited them as his “best soldiers” because they “worked harder, complained less, and were better disciplined than men” (Source). In fact, many generals wanted women and even proposed a draft. “A total of 657 WACs received medals and citations at the end of the war” (Source).

150,000 WACs served. 

[Below: Hello Girls - still an important role to be played]

Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS):

Founded on September 9, 1938, the ATS included all army women “except nurses, who served with Queen Alexandria’s Imperial Military Nursing Service (QAIMNS)” or those part of the Women’s Transport Service AKA First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY) (Source).

ATS’s were employed as clerks, cooks, and storekeepers. As the war progressed, their responsibilities were extended to include training as orderlies, drivers, postal workers, and ammunition inspectors, etc. Some were even trained to operate machinery, such as the Kinetheodolite.

In December of 1941, the National Service Act called up all unmarried women between the ages of 20 and 30. Later, the act was amended to include married women who were not pregnant or had small children.

190,000 ATS’s served.

[Below: ATS girls operate a projector]

Australian Women’s Army Service (AWAS):

On August 13, 1941, the AWAS was established to “release men from certain military duties for employment in fighting unites” (Source). They recruited women between the ages of 18 to 45. 

It, too, was a non-medical women’s unit. Here, women were initially trained to fill roles in administration (clerks and typists), catering, signals, and intelligence. Like their counterparts in other countries, their work expanded as the war progressed. Eventually, their areas of training grew to include: Artillery, engineers, survey, signals, Infantry, Intelligence, supply & transport, ordnance,  veterinary, postal, and printing & stationary, etc.

“They were expected to have qualities of enthusiasm and confidence in the contribution which women could take to the Army, balance and dependability in carrying through a task, consideration for the requirements and needs of other women, and most importantly, tact and patience necessary for pioneering a new organisation” (Source). 

24,026 AWAS’s served.

[Below: AWAS’s operating a radio set]

Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAS):

On August 13, 1941, the CWAS was established because of a personnel shortage. They recruited women between the ages of 18 and 45.

Canadian women wanted to be apart of the war effort. Joan Kennedy “was the driving force behind this groundswell of demands by Canadian women to serve their country” (Source). They insisted that they would make the perfect recruits. 

They were trained as as secretaries, clerks, canteen workers, vehicle drivers, typists, stenographers, telephone operators, messengers, quartermasters, and in many other non-combat military jobs. Prior to this, many women had, “on their own time and at their own expense, [voluntarily] enrolled in  military-related courses like Morse code signalling and map reading” (Source). This provided them with the necessary skills to function proficiently within their military positions.

22,000 CWAS’s served.

Silver Stars by Michael Grant

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Synopsis:

She’s fighting to survive.

The summer of 1943, World War II. The Germans have been bloodied, but Germany is very far from beaten. The North African campaign was only the beginning of the long journey for Frangie, Rainy, Rio, and the millions of other Allies.

Now the American army is moving on to their next target: the Italian island of Sicily. Frangie, Rainy, and Rio now know firsthand what each of them is willing to do to save herself—and the consequences. With their heavy memories of combat, they will find this operation to be even tougher.

Frangie, Rainy, and Rio also know what is at stake. The women are not heroes for fighting alongside their brothers—they are soldiers. But the millions of brave females fighting for their country have become a symbol in the fight for equality. In this war, endless blood has been spilled and millions of lives have been lost, but there could be so much more to gain.

The women won’t conquer Italy alone. But they will brave terrible conditions in an endless siege; they will fight to find themselves on the front lines of World War II; and they will come face-to-face with the brutality of war until they win or die.

Thoughts:

Another great novel from Mr. Grant. The girls are getting deeper into the hell of war and it's changing them. My heart hurts for Rainy Schulterman especially. I'm nervous for what's going to happen to them next. I'm so involved with these characters and I just want them to be okay. Guess I'll have to wait and see what happens in Purple Stars...I might die.

Cover art for Michael Grant’s Purple Hearts released last week 😍

January 30 needs to hurry up and get here!

[soldiergirlscorned]

The 119th future plans and what will actually happen RIO
EXPECTATION: She fully intends on doing what her mother told her she would do. Get married (most likely to Strand), have kids, an hang up the gun.
WHAT HAPPENS: She stays in Europe for a while after the war. There are so many people that felt the sting of war and she wants to help. After that she works in the military, but in the states this time. She works through the Cold War. Eventually, she marries Jack and they have beautiful twin girls. They follow their parents into military service. 
JACK 
EXPECTATION: Goes back to Britain after the war and live a quiet life. 
WHAT HAPPENS: His life is nothing but loud. When he’s not chasing his girls around or making his wife laugh, he’s giving talks about the wars, raising money for the military, and supporting women in the army (how could he not).
ZHENOU 
EXPECTATION: Dies in the war 
WHAT HAPPENS: Ha. Psych! This girl outlives them all, with a successful career as an author. Her and Cat live in an apartment in NYC near Rainy.
CAT 
EXPECTATION: Opinionated Cat lady 
WHAT HAPPENS: talk about a ladies lady. Seriously, her war talks get her a long way with the ladies. Even into a couple of beds. 
STICK: 
EXPECTATION: Long career in the military. 
WHAT HAPPENED: Unfortunately, Stuck gave his life for his country before the war ends. He gave up his life so that his friends/his family could get away. There is no better way Stick could think to die.
GEER: 
EXPECTATION: Becomes a successful businessman. 
WHAT HAPPENED: War takes its toll in certain ways. Geer ends up assaulting a man for talking shit about women in the army, especially black women. He’s in jail for two years before the rest of the 119th manages to pull him out. 
RAINY 
EXPECTATION: Leads an exceptional career as a spy. 
WHAT HAPPENS: Exactly that. She also ends up with the biggest family of them all. Five beautiful, multilingual, rambunctious kids and a more than happy husband. 
FRANGIE 
EXPECTATION: Goes back to Tulsa and starts a job. Doesn’t end up as doctor. 
WHAT HAPPENED: She starts to do that, but a year after the war, Rainy and Rio show up at her doorstep. Turns out, the only thing that was needed to get Frangie into medical school was a forged high school diploma (courtesy of Rainy) and a threat to show up with a gun at the school (courtesy of Rio). She becomes a successful surgeon 
BEEBEE: 
EXPECTATION: Goes on to live a quiet life 
WHAT HAPPENS: Well, quiet in a way. This scavenger becomes a successful broker for the United States. He spends a lot of his time glaring at foreign diplomats across the table

The 119th Headcannons

-Everyone knows Rainy and Frangie are in the squad. It's an unwritten rule. -They have Miss Lion, but after Rio finds a dog in the woods and Frangie takes a thorn out of its paw he won't stop following them. They name him Mister Wolf. -The 119th has a rule: they can be mean o each other, but others can't. This rule has started many a fight. -The 119th hates Strand. Why? He's not Jack, therefore he's not good enough for Rio. -They will also do anything to get Jack and Rio together. -Don't tell me that they have jam sessions when they're marching from one place to another. -They make up the lyrics and even some of the instruments which makes them the best acapella squad in the division. -They may or not have choreographed their songs. -Zhenou is the best singer. -They still hold Richlin's Raid over Rio from back in boot camp. -After the war, they travel the globe before settling down in different parts of the US. -They still get together every year though. Every year. -They have kids and grow old, but never forget the war and what it brought them.

Rainy Saturdays are for art and Front Lines

[soldiergirlscorned]

Staffin Headcannons

-After the night in the minefield, they can't sleep unless it's right next to each other. They've even given up a bed so they could sleep next to each other on the floor. -Jack has never been a morning person, so when Rio wakes up at 0600 she has to wake up him. Her favorite way is to lay down in front of his face and lightly touching his nose with her finger. She knows when to do this when Stick says, "Commence the booping." -They stand in front or behind each other in line when marching. It's never been discussed, but it's been understood by their squad. -The later on the in the war it gets, the more the squad stops trying to be subtle about their hints about one another's feelings for the other. Eventually, they lock the two in a closet and Zhenou yells through the door, "Just fuck already!" -They come out looking a little disheveled. -Jack is the one that Rio finally tells that she thinks Strand is cheating on her. Sure, it's always been in the back of her mind, but he's there the first time she actually puts two and two together. -Jack and Rio are by far the best fighting duo the squad has. -Zhenou is the one that finally persuades Rio not to marry Strand, but Jack is the one she has help her write the letter. -They never dated, per say. The whole war was kind of their courting, but, in the middle of a bad fight, Jack asks her to marry him. -She's shocked at first, but then replies, "Hell, yes!" before throwing a grenade. -They're married that night. They have no rings, and no preacher, just a captain on a ship, but it's enough for them. -Their first time was when the two of them found a pond in the moonlight while they were scouting. Truthfully, it didn't start that way. Stick had sent them out after a battle to scout the way when they found it. They were covered from head to toe in dirt and blood and had immediately jumped in.
