‘What role do you play?’ Nick questioned you randomly after you had just gotten off the case. You rolled your eyes as you stopped, along with the team, them standing to your side. ‘They’ve got the girl covered now so…’ He trailed of as he motioned to Chris. ‘You’re just a waste of space.’ He commented, you held in the groan, he had had it out for you ever since he joined the team, you knowing fine well that it was because he was self-conscious and he was trying to make himself feel better. ‘Nick.’ Hondo warned him. You shook your head, before turning around and being the bigger man, walking away from the situation, but Nick didn’t get the memo. ‘Look, she even runs away from the situations, how does she do her job.’ He commented, you froze in your spot and the team could feel your mood change and they all took a step back from him. You spun around on your heel before walking over to him, the smirk that was etched in his lips, didn’t last long as you flung your fist forward connecting with his face. You reached for you gun and handed it to Chris. ‘I’m going for a walk.’ You told them, they all nodded as they watched you turned back around and wiggle your fingers, checking them.

‘Where’s Y/N?’ Jessica questioned. ‘She went for a walk.’ Hondo stated. ‘When?’ Jessica questioned, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch. ‘An hour ago.’ He told her, he noticed the look on her face but then Nick walked in the room. ‘Maybe she’s given up.’ Nick commented, the bruises now turning purple around his eye. Hondo moved straight away pinning him to the wall. ‘Hondo.’ Jessica warned but looked at the others who shook their heads and continued on with what they were doing, so she stepped down but watched closely. ‘I’ve had enough of you. You come in here and we allow you to join our team, yet your out here bullying on of the members like a child.’ ‘You don’t know half the stuff that she has been through and you are lucky, very lucky, that you only got a single punch from her.’ Hondo said in his face, he swallowed thickly as Hondo let go of him. He shrugged his shoulders and stood up taller as Hondo turned around to Victor. ‘Can you trace her phone?’ He questioned, he typed away at the computer. ‘No, it’s switched off.’ He said, that when the team looked at each other before they nodded.

As the first bow connected with your face, your head swung to the side, before he grabbed your cheeks making you look at him. ‘You gonna talk?’ He questioned you. ‘About what?’ You managed to get out with how hard he was squeezing your face, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at you. ‘The names of every person undercover.’ He said, you licked your dry lips before closing them, watching him closely. ‘You going to talk now?’ He questioned, you only continued to stare at him. He sighed before dropping your face before hitting you with the pole again, this time hitting your ribs. You simply closed your eyes and took deep breaths and thought back to when you first joined SWAT.

You walked into the building, carrying a bag with you but you came to a stop when you ‘You must be Y/N!’ You heard a voice behind you, you turned around nodded. ‘Yes ma’am.’ ‘Oh don’t call me ma’am, it’s Jessica.’ She said happily, you nodded. ‘Come with me and I’ll take you to the locker room and you can meet the team.’ She said, you lifted up your bag and flung it over your shoulder and followed her, looking at all the gadgets. ‘Go ahead, I need to tell Sammy something before I forget.’ She said, you nodded and carried on, pushing the doors open, you stepped into the locker room. ‘You look lost beautiful, maybe I could help you.’ A voice said, you looked up to see a group of five people watching you, you then made eye contact with the man with styled blonde hair. ‘You wish.’ You told him, he looked taken aback but then footsteps b=made him look behind you. ‘Hondo, Deacon, Street, Chris, Luca and Victor. I’d like you to meet your new team member, Y/N.’ Jessica introduced you to them, everyone laughed but Luca who looked shocked. ‘You look lost their Luca, need help?’ You questioned with a raised eyebrow, using his own words against him.

‘It’s Y/N.’ Jessica said as she answered the phone, putting it on speaker before sitting it on the table. ‘Y/N, where are you?’ Jessica questioned. ‘Ah, so that’s her name, it suits her.’ The mans voice said through the phone, they set about tracing the call immediately and trying to get voice recognition. ‘Who are you and what do you want?’ ‘I want you to hand over all the names of the undercovers and CI’s or your pretty little friend here, may no longer be able to speak.’ He threatened. ‘Okay, we’ll give them to you.’ Jessica said, the team looked at her. ‘Great, the abandoned warehouse on 56th and 2nd street in an hour, two of your men, unarmed. No vehicles or anyone else in sight or you’ll be picking up a dead body.’ He warned them, Jessica looked to Hondo, who nudged Jim’s shoulder, they nodded before taking their guns offÂ
- They opened the back doors to the van, Jim and Hondo watched as your bloodied body rested against the wall. The man grabbed your arm, before pulling your along, until your dropped to the ground. He shut the doors before walking over to Jim and Hondo, grabbing the envelope. He then turned around and walked back to the van getting in the front and speeding off. ‘Y/N.’ Hondo said as he fell to his knees at your head. ‘She’s got a weak pulse.’ Jim commented as he pressed two fingers to your neck, waiting for a pulse. ‘We need an ambulance here now.’ Hondo spoke into the radio. They both rested on their knees next to you, watching as your chest raised and fell ever so slightly.

You looked at the white car a few cars ahead of you, you then noticed the door opening. You quickly opened the door and got out. ‘What are you doing?’ Hondo asked you. You pointed to the cars in front of you and they all turned and looked out, noticing him run through the gaps between the cars. ‘Look, it’s grid lock. You guys can wait the flashing your lights and tooting your horn but I’m going by foot.’ You announced to them, they nodded as you flung the door open and took off down the road. You watched as he reached up and grabbed the back of the lorry pulling himself up onto the roof, running along it, before jumping down onto the cab and then onto the car in front. You heard the others leave the vehicle behind and start following. You tucked your gun away before you ran full speed down the outside of the cars, so he couldn’t see you. You could still see him, so you looked for a gap in the cars, which you didn’t see so you sighed before pushing yourself fast. When you were in align with him, you quickly crossed the cars and leapt over a bonnet of the car before tackling him to the ground satisfied to hear him groan. As you reached for your cuffs you heard heavy footsteps, you looked up at them and the people that were slowly emerging from their cars. ‘What?’ You asked, they shook their heads. ‘You flew like a bird.’ Hondo commented, you all heard Luca gasp before hitting Streets chest. You all turned and looked at him. ‘Got yourself a nickname, Birdie.’ He said, and you groaned, hoping you wouldn’t get a nickname, although you were glad that it wasn’t a bad one. ‘Really?’ You questioned, he shrugged his shoulders as watched you stand up and pull the man up behind him. You shook your head but smiled before you started walking the man back down between the cars, Luca and Hondo in front with Victor, Street behind you, Chris walking next to you. ‘You gonna chirp Birdie?’ The man in the cuffs asked, you turned to him. ‘You will when I hit your eggs.’ You answered with a straight face, before Chris burst out laughing the others smiling to themselves.

She walked through the compound, all eyes on her as the bruises hadn’t healed yet. The stitches still fresh, as everyone watched you walk through, you ignored them as you made your way through to the debriefing room. When you arrived at the door way you noticed Nick look at you before doing a double take, he stood up taller and on defence and the others got wind and turned to look at you. ‘You shouldn’t be here.’ Jessica commented. ‘I remembered something.’ You told them. ‘There’s a thing called a phone.’ Chris commented, you playfully glared at her. You walked around the table and stood in front of the table before typing into the computer with one hand. You then shared it to their screens. ‘They started speaking in a different language before they put me into the van, it only just came back to me.’ You told them, you typed the phrase into google translate, and let them hear it. They listened but it didn’t click. ‘Once we find him, he'll know not to mess with Dagger.’ You said, they looked at you as if you had two heads. You searched through the data base before clicking on a man, you let you see him. ‘Gregory ‘The Dagger’ Kowalski.’ You said, they then looked at you. ‘The crime boss.’ Victor commented, you nodded. ‘Who is he looking for?’ Luca questioned. ‘His younger brother, who went into police instead of the family business, putting a lot of the members behind bars.’ You explained to them, standing up taller, winching at the pain that ran through your side.

You sat on the metal bench, staring at the ground thinking about the past and what you had down. ‘You okay?’ Hondo questioned, you looked up at him and nodded before looking back down. You heard him walking over, before taking a seat next to you. ‘What are you thinking about?’ He questioned, you focussed on your fingers before looking up. ‘That maybe it’s time for me to retire.’ You said, and his head snapped up to you and watched you closely. ‘Don’t be doing this because of Nick.’ Hondo warned you, you shook your head. ‘Oh god no, I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction, but it’s what the doctor said to me.’ You said, he looked confused. ‘I’m lucky to be alive, and I am.’ You explained to him. ‘Y/N, it comes with the job.’ He said, you gave him a small smile. ‘I know, but I’m always the one that get kidnaps as everyone sees me as a weakness.’ You said, he looked at you and noticed that you had made up your mind, so he only nodded in understanding. ‘What will you do?’ He questioned, you shrugged your shoulders. ‘I have now idea, but first I’ll be going on a holiday that is long overdue.’ You said, he chuckled and nodded as he placed a hand on your knee. ‘You better send us a postcard.’ He commented and you laughed before nodding your head.
