Masterlist
“What do you mean we’ve got a new medic on the base?” Ghost asks as Price slides her file across the desk. He picks it up and reads through it quickly, his eyes skimming the qualifications, more the lack thereof. “What the fuck is this Price”
“Miss y/l/n is a young woman whose been sent here by Laswell. She’s good at her job, she’ll do just fine here”
“Shes not military”
“No she’s not”
“Then why is she here?” he questions once more
“Between you and I, Laswell sent her in because her sister is training for 141”
“Emma” Ghost realizes as he puts together their last names.
“In order to get Emma here, Laswell had to pull some strings. One of the requirements was the transfer of her younger sister”
“Its a waste of space!” he states, crossing his arms in annoyance “what good is a medic who has no military background or field experience? Sounds like a fucking liability to me”
“She’s strictly on base, she won’t be in the field”
“So I say again, what’s the point of her? We need medics for the field! She’s only 26!”
“Ghost I don’t make the rules, I just follow them. When Laswell gives me a transfer I deal with it, just like you’re going to listen to me when I say that this girl is more than welcome here. If she’s the price we pay for Emma then so be it” Price says, taking the file out of his hands. He nods to the door and Ghost shakes his head before exiting the office. He was livid, just one more mouth to feed. One more person he’d have to worry about. He didn’t care if this girl was the best in the world, without military or field experience she was as good as useless to him. He fucking hated useless people.
He walks through the base angrily, searching for Soap and Gaz to inform them. He stops dead in his tracks at the sight of Emma with her arm wrapped around a much shorter woman’s shoulders as she led her through the room. She was gorgeous, her long hair fell down her back, she was wearing a pair of scrubs, with a long sleeve underneath it. She had large golden glasses sitting uptop her small nose. He watches as she spots him, she stops in her tracks and stares at him in confusion.
“Oh perfect timing, y/n I’d like to introduce you to our Lieutenant goes by Ghost” Emma says
“Nice to meet you Ghost, I’m y/n, I’m excited to be here” she says with a kind smile on her face, holding her hand out for him to shake.
“A medic with no combat experience, I’ve heard about you”
“Yeah, I’m on base only”
“Fucking useless” he grunts before walking away and leaving the women in shock.
“Excuse me?” she calls out to him, dropping her bag and walking over to him, he stares down at her, his dark eyes boring into her. If looks could kill, she’d be dead. “How dare you speak to me like that!”
Ghost is taken aback at her words, he hadn’t expected her to react this way. Nobody ever talked back to him, this was quite new. “I’m your Lieutenant” he reminds her
“Okay got it, that gives you no right to be a dick!”
“Oh fuck!” Emma calls out, hurrying over to her sister. “You can’t talk to him like that”
“I’d listen to your sister” Ghost warns as they continue to glare at each other
“I’m so sorry Ghost, please ignore her, it’s been a long day she just got off a 10-hour flight, and she’s a little delirious” Emma rambles
“No I’m not delirious, I’m just-”
“y/n!” Emma snaps, clutching her sisters arm tightly. “We’ll be on our way now”
Emma pulls her sister out of the room, trying to ignore the whispers and small laughs from the others in the common room and. They hurry to her room and set her things on the ground. Nobody had ever seen anything like it, this young woman, fresh off the plane looked Ghost in the face and yelled at him, calling him out for being rude.
“What the fuck were you thinking? That is my fucking Lieutenant! The only person above him on this base is Price!”
“He was a dick Emma!”
“He’s allowed to be a dick! He’s the Lieutenant!” she exclaims
“I really don’t care who he is”
“do you have any idea how lucky you are to be here? You aren’t a trained military medic, you don’t belong here! Ghost knows it, that’s why he reacted that way! The only reason you’re here is because Laswell wants me on his fucking team! You forget that I’m in training with him right now, that’s why I’m here, I can’t have you fucking it up for me!”
“I’m sorry Em, I don’t want to get you in trouble”
“Then don’t pull that shit again okay?” Emma asks, she sits down on her bed and nods watching as her sister sighs angrily before leaving her alone.

Later that night she walked out of her room for the first time in hours. Admittedly she was embarrassed about what happened earlier. She shouldn’t have lost her cool with the Lieutenant, but she was hurt by his words. They were simple yet they cut so deep. She walks to the dining hall and all eyes turn to her. Whispers spread through the soldiers and her cheeks burn.
“Don’t worry about them, they’ll be over it in a day” a man says as he walks up to her with his own plate of food, his was stuffed so high she wasn’t sure how he’d gotten it all to fit. “I’m John MacTavish, call me soap”
“Why soap?” she asks
“I clean house” he answers with a smirk, as he walks over to a table with several people sitting there eating “come sit”
“Oh it’s okay-” she starts
“Come on lass we don’t bite” Soap says holding his hand out to the empty seat across from him. She nods and takes a seat next to another young man with a hat on.
“y/n this is Kyle aka Gaz”
“Nice to meet you love”
“It’s nice to meet you, Gaz. How do you guys know my name?” she asks
“That was quite a scene you made earlier, you’re a celebrity”
“Great, my sisters gonna kill me”
“Yeah if Ghost doesn’t get ya first” Soap jokes
“You’re a brave soul” Gaz chuckles “in all my time here I never seen anyone do that”
“Oh so you guys know him?”
“Yeah he’s our Lieutenant”
“Oh you guys are on the taskforce?”
“141” Soap nods as he shovels food into his mouth.
“Thats what my sister is here for, she’s training”
“Emma”
“Oh you know her?” she asks in surprise
“Of course, we train with her daily, she’s one hell of a solider”
“Yeah she is” she responds
“So you must be y/n” a deep British voice says, she looks up to see a tall man with mutton chops.
“Yes”
“I’m Captain John Price, it’s a pleasure to meet you” he says holding his hand out to her, she takes it and shakes it.
“Its nice to meet you too Sir”
“I hear you’ve made quite an impression already” he smiles
“Seems like it” she says nervously
“Between you and I, you’ve got guts I like that. Keep your head up, you deserve to be here. Stop by my office tomorrow at 7 and I’ll introduce you to the other medics”
“Yes sir” she smiles
“Have a good night guys” he nods before leaving their table
“Looks like you might survive, if Price isn’t mad at you then you might have a chance” Gaz comments
“Great” she smiles sarcastically
“Eh you’ll be find lass, just takes gettin used to is all” Soap says
“Thanks guys”
“Anytime you wanna go toe to toe with LT let me know so I can get front-row seats” Soap says causing them all to laugh.
