The Delta AU  (tinder AU reboot)

Notes:

Thanks to @forestwater87 for not only the name Greenwood but also a suggestion as to what Gwen’s new job should be. 

final order of business this fic poses a very serious (not really) question that i want to know your answers to so discuss 

also this bad boy is un proof read because i got a digital date tonight...also i’m lazy 

That’s right a reboot, so enjoy.

 Afghanistan:

David advanced covering the roofs Night vision googles over his eyes as he said into his radio “Sand Man to Dog Patch we are passing Salmon,” The rest of the team moving in a wedge formation towards the destroyed town.

Millers voice returned “roger  Sand Man.”

David crouched raising a fist in a stop motion as he heard a handful of voices walking in the street he whispered “Cool Breeze?”

Jasper shook his head “no weapons….”

Nurf whispered “uhhh they told us that were only dudes holding AK’s out here.”

David shook his head saying “Sand Man to Dog Patch?”

Miller returned “I heard Sand Man…Intel is saying you are Oscar mike.”

Tabii growled “we are painting a target for a bombing raid.”

David asked “Dog Patch…how sure is intel?”

Miller paused “they are saying 60%.”

David watched Kids enter the street kicking a soccer ball, one of the kids kicked the ball wide and it Hit Nurf square in the chest the kids ran up and then saw the 4 soldiers crouching on the ground.

The kids backed away scared as David lowered his weapon nodding for his team to do the same he pushed the ball back to the kids before saying “Sand Man Dog patch…Intel is wrong…we are aborting.”

David tried to smile at the kids who grabbed the Ball before running away.

The lights on the village lit up but by then the team was already gone.

North Carolina:

David stepped off the plane as Miller met him saying “Sir…you got to get those Intel guys straight.”

Miller sighed “they are not on the ground.”

David countered “maybe they should be…Sir…all I ask is that my team know that they are hostiles on the ground…before we are sent in.”

Miller sighed “I will pass on your request up the chain Sargent major, until then your team is off rotation until another Mission comes up.”

David gestured “yes sir, Jasper!”

Jasper smiled “cars running Davie.”

 The next night:

David was dressed in plaid as Jasper dragged out of the car saying “Davie, we both know you need to get out more…you work too much.”

David pointed out halfheartedly “we work the same amount?”

Jasper countered “but I have Sarah waiting for me…who do you have David?”

David sighed “Look Jasper….”

Jasper crossed his arms before saying “that’s what I thought…come on Davie let’s make you some friends.”

The bar much to David’s annoyance was busy and Jasper was waved over by Sarah Jasper's fiancee, David awkwardly stood around before bidding an escape towards the bar ordering a coke, he sat down drinking his coke scrawling through his phone, Tabii was with her girlfriend and Nurf was visiting his mother. So sadly he was stuck with Jasper and by extension all of Sarah’s doctor friends.

David took another sip as a voice asked “you get dragged here to?”

He turned to his right to see a girl about his age, wearing a sundress. She smiled “my names Gwen.”

David smiled “David.”

Gwen looked him up and down before nodding “outdoors type dragged here by a friend who thinks you need to get out more?”

David chuckled “is it that obvious?”

Gwen was about to answer when Sarah walked over “GWEN! I see you met the other recluse!”

David and Gwen said in unison “recluse!?”

Sarah rolled her eyes “Gwen this is one of Jaspers co-workers David, David Gwen was my roommate back in school.”

Gwen sighed “there goes my entire mystic.”

Sarah countered “David here has an enough for both of you!” before walking away enjoying her beer.

David took a sip of his coke asking “another doctor?”

Gwen mumbled “I’m an editor at a newspaper.”

David asked “what?”

Gwen said it again a little louder “I am an editor at a newspaper.”

David lit up “No kidding that is awesome!”

Gwen blinked “thank you.”

David took another sip saying “sounds like interesting work?”

Gwen nodded “it can be…”

She was interrupted as the TV said “breaking news at this hour, Country pop singer Cindy McGuire, has been kidnapped during her tour of South America…”

The bar tender turned off the TV as David’s phone pinged he glanced up to see Jasper pinged as well, he turned around to see Gwen was phone also went off. David opted not to question it saying “pleasure meeting you, but work calls.”

Gwen sighed “same…but I would like to talk to you again.”

David smiled before he threw some cash on the bar before holding his phone to his ear saying “go for Greenwood.”

Jasper following him out, Sarah appeared next to Gwen groaning “they just got back…but duty calls.”

Gwen glanced up from her own emails “what…oh yea…a real shame.”

Sarah smiled “so what did you think of David?”

Gwen frowned “Listen I have to go work.” Dodging the question

Sarah smiled “oh she is hooked.”

 Fort Bragg:

Nurf sat down groaning “man I had to leave my mom…again.”

Tabii groaned “And I lost date night…yet again.”

Jasper sipped some water saying “if it makes you feel any better David was making moves on a girl.”

The entire squad sat forward as David blushed “Wha…me and Gwen…no way, I mean I barely know her and…”

Tabii interrupted “Damn…he is already smitten.”

Miller burst in saying “sorry to pull you all away, but we have a developing situation, this is Cindy McGuire.”

Nurf smiled “my mom loves her stuff!”

Tabii blinked “wasn’t she in the news recently?”

Miller nodded “she was caught on video, doing a rather…caustic rant…and as such is on a tour of schools she helped build in South America.”

Jasper flinched saying “yea I remember watching the news with Sarah when the news broke, it was not pleasant.”

David reminded “we don’t have to like her, we just need to do the job.”

Miller nodded “speaking of, her publisher had the genius idea of publishing her route in advance…she got herself nabbed by a couple of wannabe El Chapo types.”

Tabii groaned “oh boy…”

David sighed “so untrained goons with Ak’s…what are their demands?”

Miller visibly scoffed “500 million dollars, and weapons…enough weapons to arm an air craft carrier.”

Japer took a sip of water “these guys need to manage their expectations.”

Miller chuckled dryly adding “since these guys have demanded weapons a rescue operation has been green lit, this job is going to be in the public eye…so make it clean.”

Elsewhere:

Gwen entered as her boss said “Gwendolyn about time you got here.”

Gwen sighed “sorry sir.”

Her boss rolled his eyes saying “Cindy McGuire got nabbed from her tour in South America, a friend of a friend in the FBI said the investigation just changed hands…and there is red tape involved! You know what that means! NEWS! So I want to know what is happening Gwen! Get on it!”

Gwen nodded “on it sir,” As she started to dive deep.

 C130:

David sat in his black camo the lights in the plane were dimmed as he napped only for jasper to loudly clear his throat “David.”

David replied without opening his eyes “Yea Jasp?”

Jasper took a sip of water before asking “sooooooo Gwen.”

David turned over and went back to sleep ignoring Jasper as Tabii grinned “I ship it.”

Nurf said “we have not even met her yet.”

Tabii exclaimed “who cares, anyone who can make the boss look like that is good in my books!”

Nurf shook his head as one of the flight engineers said “1 hour to jump get ready!”

 Peru:

David landed with a thump his night vision googles over his face as he said “dog patch we have passed RWBY.”

Miller responded “roger that Sand Man.”

The team started to advance toward the abandoned gas station where McGuire was being held as Tabii asked “RWBY? Isn’t that the name of like an anime or something?”

Nurf pointed out “it’s American so is it technically an anime?”

Everyone looked at him and he shrugged “what, just because I’m a meat head doesn’t mean I don’t dabble.”

Jasper sighed “I’m just mad they gave us cartons for this operation, come on not the coolest option.”

David dead panned “the last one was sea food.”

Jasper groaned “I know but at least it was at least somewhat cooler.”

Nurf sighed “are you going to brush past that this one is cartoons and the first one is RWBY?”

Tabii sighed “I thought you were not sure RWBY was an Anime?”

Nurf groaned “yea but…but cartoon doesn’t feel right.”

Tabii lunched into a counter point as David tuned them out. 

At this point this debate had been going on for about three hours when David signaled stop saying “Cool Breeze Dirt Diver give me an enemy count.”

Nurf and Jasper said “Wilco.”

David said “Dogpatch, we have passed…Danny Phantom over.”

David heard chuckling in Dog patch as he said “say again Sand man?”

David rolled his eyes “Dog Patch we have passed Danny Phantom.”

Miller could not keep  the amusement out of his voice having heard the previous conversation as it recorded over there com’s “roger Sandman you have passed Danny Phantom.”

Nurf smiled “now that’s a cartoon.”

David reminded “everything we say is being recorded for the record.”

Nurf paused before adding “Danny Phantoms dad is my spirit animal.”

David sighed “report on enemy Dirt Diver.”

Jasper responded “I got 4 tangos, all packing AK’s all facing east, having a smoke.”

David asked “any inside?”

Nurf this time said “negative.”

David flicked off his gun safety saying “Dog patch Sand Man…permission to engage.”

Miller answered “sand man your team has the Green Light.”

David responded already moving towards the building saying “roger.”

The goons were enjoying their smoke as David said “On my count…3,2,1.”

With that four gun suppressed shots rang out and the goons fell to the ground with holes in their skulls.

The team stacked up on the door as David nodded and they kicked the door open meeting the screaming face of Cindy McGuire.

David said “clear, Red cap.”

Tabii moved over to the tied down girl saying “Ma’am we are American’s we are here to rescue you.”

Tabii looked her over for wounds as she demanded in a high pitched voice, the type of thing you would expect from a rich snobby girl in a high school movie as she demanded “who are you people.”

David ignored her saying “dog patch we have passed courage the cowardly dog.”

Cindy called to David the clear leader saying “I said who are you! You have no right to treat me this way! I demand to speak to my agent!”

David and Jasper shoot each other a “is she for real?” glance before saying “like Red cap said we are American’s.”

McGuire furled her lips “the fuck kind of name is RED CAP!?”

Nurf pulled out his knife as she said “Woah sorry I asked sheesh!”

Nurf sighed “just relax I’m cutting you free.”

McGuire now free from her chair asked “so if she is Red Cap...” dragging on the word as if had personally run over her dog before finishing “what are the rest of you?”

David sighed “my name is Sand man that is Cool Breeze and Dirt Diver.”

McGuire looked Nurf up and down “oh you are a Dirt Diver that’s for sure.”

Nurf looked suitably offended as David said “ma’am we can’t stay here, sun comes up in 4 hours and we still have 8 kilometers to cross, to get to the chopper.”

McGuire laughed “oh that’s a short drive…wait…are you asking me to walk!? This is an outrage! Your treating me worse than my kidnappers!”

She snapped her fingers “I want to talk to this….what did you call it Dog patch…god another awful name.”

David groaned “ma’am we are in a hostile environment as such I am the highest authority you can speak to, if you wish to launch a formal complaint that is your right but will have to wait until after we are out of an active combat zone.”

McGuire groaned “I’m holding you to that…Sand Man.” She spat out the name.

McGuire started the walk as David said “Dog patch, we are passing Cyber chase.”

 3 hours later:

McGuire sat on a rock whining “ my feet hurt, is that helicopter coming or not! My lawyers will have a field day with this!”

David who was next to the girl groaned “chopper will be here in 20 mikes.”

McGuire demanded “I don’t speak baby killer!”

Tabii snapped “minutes!...the chopper will be here in 20 minutes.”

McGuire groaned “it better be, I can’t believe this happened I was supposed to get away without any consequence’s, because I’m hot popular and rich!”

The team looked at each other  yet again silently asking “is this girl for real?”

 Blackstone air force base:

McGuire was taken off the plane with a trauma blanket around her as she wailed “they were so horrible to me!” to the waiting camera’s

Gwen saw her reporters trying to get an interview with the star who clearly put on more make up before coming out to the camera’s but Gwen was more interested in soldiers in the back ground quietly slipping away chatting among themselves, including a tuft of red hear she could swear she could recognize.

 2 days later:

David plucked down on his apartment couch, the debrief for that last operation was a night mare, as true to her Diva ways, McGuire was suing the US government for her “rough treatment” everyone who had seen the transcript had determined that she in fact did not have a case, but the Army not in a mood for a long trial so they redacted anything classified and planned to release the transcript  to a news station.

David lay back already thinking of the memes that will spawn “should RWBY have been on the cartoon list?”

 News office:

Gwen re read the transcript chuckling at the teams moving in attics and groaning every time the letters HVT appeared on the transcript. She had found a picture of David on Sarah’s phone and had determined it was likely they were the same person. Gwen chuckled “I guess Sarah’s was not kidding when she mentioned mystic.”

[aboyandhisstarship]

so you have played Ghost recon breakpoint...but what about wildlands, how about an idea for that game?

I like wild lands a lot! i play the games with my brother so it’s a good time and here you go:

The Marine took a sip of his water as he patrolled the outer wall of the embassy, a man approached the front gate showing his passport, the other marine nodding and allowing him to enter the Marine turned to keep looking out at the streets for a few minutes when there was a rumble and a loud boom, the marine went sailing and the world went dark.

 Fort Bragg, North Carolina:

A woman entered looking at the 4 operator’s assembled quickly saying “thank you for your timely arrival; I am Agent Timmons, Sasha to my friends.”

A read head smiled back “Sargent major Greenwood, Master Sargent Fronds, Master Corporal Nurfington, and Warrant Officer Collins.”

Sasha smiled “I heard stories about you guys, I was a rookie field officer is Moscow when the Coup happened.”

The squad looked down as David said “you have us confused with someone else now…we were never there.” He lied poorly

Jasper cleared his throat “what do you need from us?”

Sasha nodded “right, 47 hours ago a crude but powerful explosive device exploded in the US embassy in La Paz Bolivia, killing 2 marine guards and wound 6 civilians, shortly afterwards DEA agent Ricardo, Ricky Sandoval disappeared.”

Nurf sighed “what’s the OP, sounds like a job for the FBI and locals.”

Sasha sighed “and normally you would be right, the FBI is still combing through the wreckage of the embassy, but in terms of local authority, we have a situation, about 4 years ago, a Us National known only to us as Daniel arrived in country…he was on our radar previously due to him leading for all intents and purposes a cult, dedicated to the worship of Zeemog. Who they claim granted them access to some kind of plant that when fabricated the right way creates a highly addictive and dangerous drug.”

Tabii sighed “and our DEA friend was looking into this Drug?”

Sasha nodded “when Daniel and his followers arrived they lead a coup and took over the Bolivian government, they have a puppet president but for all intents and purposes they run the country, agent Sandoval was undercover to try to find out what he could from the organization.”

David sighed “ok but what connects them to the embassy?”

Sasha pressed a button showing security footage of Sandoval entering the embassy as she stated “he entered the embassy about 4 minutes before the bomb went off, best intel suggests that they tried to use the bomb to kill him and when that failed grabbed him another way.”  

Jasper whistled “bold play for these guys.”

Sasha nodded “your current mission is to locate and  if at all possible recover  Agent Sandoval.”

Nurf asked “if he isn’t breathing?”

Sasha simply “we can adjust the mission as more Intel comes into play.”

David leaned forward “Bolivia is a big country, how are we going to find him?”

Sasha hit a button showing a picture of a woman saying “meet Gwen Santos, reporter for the globe that has been in country for a few years and a friend Sandoval, she is your best bet on finding anything.”

David asked “when are we wheels up?”

Sasha smiled “Right now.”

 Bolivia 0100:

Gwen ate some ice-cream as she looked over he notes when there was a knock on her, well she can’t call it a house it was closer to a shack. When the door opened she was pushed down as four people quickly stormed the shack clearing it, at first she figured it was the Zeemog’s but they were clearly to well-armed for that 4 voices said “clear.”

A man picked her up, he was wearing a helmet multicam with night vision hanging above his face not currently in use, A vest with the AB + symbol on it next to a pale white skull. The guy said calmly “Gwen Santos?”

Gwne blinked “who are….wait you’re them?”

A woman in the group said “them?”

Gwen nodded “Ricky, he told me something was going to happen, he said he could feel it…and to keep an ear open, some soldiers will be at my door.”

A solider appeared in Gwen's view saying “We are the rescue team Miss Santos, our names are Sand man, Cool Breeze, Dirt Diver, and Red Cap”

The red head pointed to each of his team in turn before saying “we were told that you had info about where we could maybe find Agent Sandoval.”

Gwen deadpanned “and you kicked down my door?”

The one Sand Man had called Dirt Diver deadpanned “had to make sure you were here and not a group of thugs.”

Gwen sighed “I guess that makes sense, he disappeared …I didn’t know they grabbed him…but knowing Daniel he is having tortured by a couple of real nasty types.”  

Sand man asked “tortured?”

Gwen nodded “they call them Brother Yuri and Sister Polito, from what I can dig up they were a doctor and nurse respectively. They saved the right or wrong depending on who you ask person’s life and ended up as Zeemogs personal docs…but they are better known for being there…ya know.”

The girl Redcap said “they have had the agent for over 2 days boss.”

Sand man asked “do you know where they act out of?”

Gwen sighed “ a cabin in the woods…in the central province…”

Sand man nodded “thank you, it may not be safe for you anymore.”

Gwen grinned “you let me worry about me Sand man.”

The redhead smiled at her pulling down his night vision saying “sand man to ghost lead.”

47 minutes later:

David crawled up saying “this looks like the place.” ‘

Sasha voice came over com’s “ghost lead to sand man you are free to engage.”

David nodded “roger.”

Quickly the team advanced opening the cabin and quickly clearing it to find it empty moving down the stairs they swept when they heard a voice saying “By Zeemogs breath.”

David held up his arm saying “possible contact”

The team crept deeper as they heard screams and Tabii said “Jesus Christ…”

Around them was a corridor filled with trash bags, no one dared look inside. David said “let’s be quick about this.”

David did a 3,2,1 gesture before hitting a door letting it open as the team moved in they yelled “Hands on your heads!”

Yuri and Polito dropped the pliers and jumper cable’s they were holding, they reached for guns but were met by 4 gun shots and they fell over dead.  David saw they were in mid…session with someone saying “red cap!”

Tabii walked over checking the guys pulse before shaking her head Jasper asked “agent Sandoval?”

Tabii pulled up her sleeve looking at the pictures on her arm before shaking her head “no.”

Nurf said “stairs!”

David took point saying “alright be careful, watch for traps.”

The 4 operator’s slowly went down before looking what looking like a morgue out of a horror movie,  Jasper groaned “Jesus…”

Nurf whistled his sleeve pulled up, David walked over and saw agent Sandoval, clearly tortured to death a symbol of Zeemog Tattooed on his forehead. David asked “any idea how long?”

Tabii sighed “at least since yesterday sir…”

David sighed “Red cap cell phones laptops, files anything of value.”

Tabii nodded “on it boss.”

David said then said “Dirt Diver cool breeze, find or make a stretcher…were not leaving him here.”

Jasper said “On it boss.”

David sighed “I got to make a call.”

 Langley Virginia:

Sasha sighed “thank you Sand man I will be back with more orders.” She looked at her computer and the pop up “submit for approval…Operation Kingslayer.TXT”

[aboyandhisstarship]

i'm enjoying The Ghost recon Wild lands Story you fired, so maybe write about the big plot twist which is never brought up again and promptly forgotten

Oh do you mean the *spoilors* fact that Ricky bombed the US embassy and as such the entire mission, rules of engagement and everything was a massive lie? Yea…kind of sad that never came up.

 (not proof read cuse i’m lazy sorry)

Bolvia:

The Cult soldier  fell down the stairs, as David pulled his knife out of the man’s throat David asked “they said Daniel was here?”

A cell phone started to ring and everyone tensed up but it just sat on a table. David carefully advanced picking up the phone; Daniels voice came through “are you the Operators who have been killing the holy people.”

David rolled his eyes “speaking.”

The others covered the doors as Daniel said “do you know why you are here…Sand Man.”

David laughed “Listen Pal, if you think knowing my call sign is supposed to scare me.” \

Daniel shook his head “never, just trying to establish a repore…you see your mission here is a lie…you are trying to avenge a dirty DEA agent…and stop a group of gun totting cultists…except.”

David cut him off “look pal, we came here to kill you…since you are not here why not save us some trouble and tell us where you are.”

Daniel laughed “such insolence…on this phone is your proof after you see it…you will have little reason to go after me,” And with that the call ended.

David said “load of crap.”

Jasper pointed out “might as well see what they think is proof.”

David nodded pulling it up.

 Yuri and Poltio Dungeon:

A drill whirred as Sadoval yelled “FUCCCCCCCKKKKKK!”

The drill sound stopped as Daniel knelt “Ricky…you are dead…even if brother Yuri and Sister Polito stopped giving you pain this instant you will die…so take this chance to relive your conscience.”

Ricky looked up at the camera before laughing “alright Father, might as well to late for you now consider this a professional curtsy, I did it.”

Daniel asked “you bombed the US Embassy?”

Ricky nodded “and it wasn’t a CIA DEA false flag operation crap either it was just me.”

Daniel asked “why?”

Ricky gestured with a bleeding arm “my bosses were going to pull me out…they didn’t care about what you were doing here…I needed them to care…so I did something dramatic…and then as planed you guys grabbed me.”

Daniel nodded “this making it seem like we bombed the embassy.”

Rik y laughed “you and all of your cultist buddies are dead…and don’t even know it yet.”

The recording ended and Nurf spoke first “what the FUCK!?”

Tabii said “no way this is legit?! Some kind of false flag!?”

Jasper sighed “it makes sense, they were not ready for us…and frankly bombing is not there style.”

David’s radio cracked to life as David said “Ghost lead Sand Man…did you know about this?”

Sasha returned “I have no idea…look Daniel still belongs in jail.”

David yelled “Jail, he should be hoisted up by his thumbs…but we have no more cause to be here!?”

Sasha sighed “he still killed a DEA agent…and terriost…look we got his location from his call…Sand Man…shut him down…I got a call pending.”

David nodded “Wilco.”

He changed his frequency saying “Gwen, Sand Man…we got Daniel…as promised we help you bring him in and you come with us.”

Gwen took a deep breath “roger Sand Man I will meet you.”

   Tomb:

The Ghosts entered with David saying “Hands up you piece of Crap!”

Daniel throw aside a phone getting down as Gwen entered “where is he, where is the big bad Cult leader?”

David said “Red Cap.”

Tabii advanjced before said “hold one.”

Gwen blinked “sand Man.”

David looked intent saying “Confirm that order ma’am?”

Nurf said “Boss?”

David lowered his gun “copy Ghost Lead…everyone safety’s on.”

Gwen slowly reached down discreetly picking up a degraded pistol as Nurf said “what!?”

David sighed “he his full immunity.”

The Ghosts lowered their weapons as Daniel stood up saying “thank you…Sand Man.”

Gwen took that moment to light up her pistol and unload on Daniel, his body jerked backwards and hit the ground and Gwen kept firing till her Gwen clicked empty.

David grabbed Gwen taking the gun from her Saying “Red Cap?”

Tabii shook her head as Gwen fell to her knees.

  Fort Bragg North Carolina:

 David walked into his apartment after nearly 4 months in South America with his computer dinging with an Email from G, Santos it read:

David or Sand Man…took a lot to find you…if you are reading this then we got Daniel and I took some drastic action…because Daniel used his DOJ connections to get out of Justice.  As such a little Vilgantie justice was needed. Now I’m sure plenty of people figured I cracked after eyard down there…but they can go to hell, that Manic that monster…Killed my best friend Tortured him to death, Murdered hundreds of people and more and he gets to get away with it!? FUCK THAT…do you know what happens when you give a crazy cult leader with massive influence immunity…you get a dictator, and you know as well as me it will take more than 4 operators to take one of those out.

  David I know we didn’t spend much time together but I enjoyed the bit we did…goodbye… Gwen.
