THIS A 18+ BLOG.
the setting is a year into reader being in task force 141. timelines may be different than what is represented in game campaign(s) and such. i've played the campaign twice (bc im down terribly for ghost) so i will be modifying parts of the campaign as i include them in this part of the story. this part relied heavily on the campagin to build up what im working towards.
ten minute read, unedited.
"i'll do it," soap speaks up.
alejandro looked at soap, "you go in there and they'll kill you."
soap knew this but he wanted to stop a missile, he was determined to get the mission done. you knew it was a big risk to let soap go in, "i'll go with him as well." you finally spoke up.
ghost, soap, alejandro, and graves all looked at you.
"no way in hel-" graves began, "i'm not letting soap go in alone. we have a better shot at showing them that two people have good intel. especially the intel that they desire, no?" you cut him off.
ghost kept his eyes on you, "we both offer intel in exchange to meet with sin nombre." you told them.
alejandro looked over at ghost to see if he had anything to say but just met with a gaze that didnt say much, "if sin nombre is there, we pounce." soap brought their attention back.
he gave you a small nod in agreement.
"if you both go in, you'll need someone to keep eyes and ears around. ill go in as one of the guards." alejandro agreed.
ghost said nothing until, "ill take overwatch. have shadows circle the target in a helo."
graves took a look at the ground, "roger that." he finally agreed. he took a patch off his vest and handed it to you, "theyre gonna want proof. give them it."
you agreed at you took the patch, "lets gear up." graves told everyone as you all headed out to your positions.
"eyes on soap and zero?" graves asked ghost.
ghost scouted the building before noticing you both at the front gate. a guard shot his weapon towards your feet, ordering you both to get down on the ground.
"got visual." ghost commed back.
one of the guards hit soap on the back of the knee causing him to fall onto his knees - the other roughly grabbed you and pushed you on to the floor next to him.
one of the guards spoke on his walkie.
the two guards put a black bag over your heads, not being able to see a thing as they forced you both to start walking.
"they got them both now." ghost said as he kept a close eye on you both.
he noticed that the guards separated you and soap once you entered the gate entrance. you tried to whisper for soap but only to cause the guard that was directing you to shove you.
"camina!" a man said in spanish.
fuckin hell.
you were shoved to take a seat somewhere. you had no clue to where you were and surprisingly no one was speaking to you yet and demanding for what you were there for.
soaps pov
the bag was yanked off his head and met with alejandro in a elevator, "alejandro?"
soap looked around to see it was only him and alejandro.
"where's zero?" he asked confused.
alejandro shook his head, "no clue, they didnt say much after taking you both in. ill try to find her once i get you where needed."
soap was confused but kept his mind on the end goal. "I want you to tell them everything like we talked about. tell them the whole truth and nothing but the truth." alejandro reminded him
"even y-" before soap could continue the elevator door opened.
zeros pov
you were left in a room for what felt like an eternity. you managed to slip off the bag from your head to see where the hell you were at least.
you were in just a plain room with you sitting right in the middle. you noticed that there were no guards around and tried to manage your way out of the ropes that were bounding your wrists together.
you tried everything you could but nothing worked.
this is going to hurt, isnt it?
you dislocated your thumb and managed to squeeze one hand out.
fuck.
you popped your thumb back into place to untie the rest of the rope that was left.
you walked up to a door and pressed your ear against it and heard no voices on the other side but it was locked. you tried to search any part of the room to break the lock but there was no luck in material to do so.
you heard commotion coming from outside the door and noticed the handle began to move. you quickly sat back in the seat and pretended to only have had moved the bag that once sat on your head.
one guard walked in after he finished yelling across the hall to whoever, "why are you here?" he asked in spanish.
you ignored him at first but noticed a keycard resting on his belt loop, "i want to talk to sin nombre." you told him.
the man looked at you crazy and said nothing in return, he turned his back to you as he started walking out the door. you took this chance to quickly wrap the rope around his neck.
you covered his mouth to suppress his struggles as he tried to fight back. you twisted his neck causing his body to go limp within seconds.
easy bastard.
you grabbed his pistol and whatever else you could use as a weapon along with the keycard and made your way out the room.
ghosts pov
ghost finally got on comms with soap after speaking with sin nombres personal sicaria.
"where's zero?" ghost asked through the ear piece.
soap gave a glance to alejandro, "no clue, L.t." soap responded.
"alejandro?" ghost asked him to speak up.
"they separated them, wasn't able to find her when soap was busy with sin nombres personal sicaria." alejandro finally confessed.
ghost looked through his scope to see if he could see you through any of the bedroom windows but no luck, "find her alejandro and soap you try to get the keycard to the penthouse." he ordered.
"understood." alejandro commed back.
this just became a sticky situation.
zeros pov
you quickly realized that you were nowhere near where you wanted to be. as you managed to try to make you way up the house, you took note what was in the house and the voices that filled the rooms. you heard men snorting as they took a big hits.
you didnt want your trail too hot so you tried to keep your distance from killing anybody. it was driving you mad that you have no comms with the rest of your team.
you found yourself in a empty room and found a safe sitting in the closet, "nice." you whispered to yourself.
a sniper rifle was sitting in it with some cash and armor.
you quickly put the armor on and the rifle along with it.
"sin nombre called for us, lets go." you heard voices speak out the door. you heard footsteps rushing as the words finished.
sin nombre is here.
you confirmed with yourself.
you scouted the hallway once more to see if any stragglers were following the group of men - the coast was clear. you took your time paying attention to the direction of the rushed footsteps and followed.
you noticed the men rushed through a door, "sin nombre..." one of the men tried to speak but sin nombre shushed them as you listened through the door.
"the packages arrive on schedule." you heard a female voice say.
sin nombre is a woman?
you couldnt make out the conversation much as it sounded like sin nombre was pacing around the room. the voice finally concluded the conversation as they turned their attention once again to the men who were told to be present.
"you idiots!" the voice yelled, "you better find whoever the hell you let escape." she warned them.
she was talking about you.
you wondered why they weren't on high alert after knowing you were missing. "the guest cannot know anything is wrong, i have enough shit to handle because you fools cant do simple tasks!" she yelled once more in spanish.
guests?
"hey!" a voice yelled from behind you in spanish. you turned to notice a man has a gun pointed at you already. you wanted to fight your way out but that would be pointless as sin nombre and her men were just inside the other room.
the men roughly grabbed you and restrained you. they took your weapons and opened the door that sin nombre was in.
"let go of me..." you cursed at the men in their native tongue.
you noticed the woman standing before you, "whats this? is this the one you idiots somehow managed to lose?" she asked. she knew the answer already but wanted her dogs to respond.
"so you're sin nombre..." you looked at her. "i wanted a meeting with you but your dogs couldn't do a simple task to give me what i wanted." you said as you tried to move your body away.
soap and alejandros pov
"ghost," alejandro spoke, "no sign of zero but we made our way to sin nombres door."
ghost cursed under his breath, "get PID."
"snake cam is set, get PID on sin nombre." alejandro told soap.
soap looked into the cam and seen that you were standing there, restrained. "fuckin' hell." soap cursed.
soap moved his attention away from the snake cam and looked at alejandro, "what is it, hermano?" he aske him.
"its zero and the woman i spoke to earlier? its valeria, she's sin nombre." he told him.
ghosts voice came through the ear piece, "did you just say zero is with sin nombre?" he wanted confirmation but graves pulled the team back to the task that was needed.
"we need sin nombre, lets wrap this up." graves told them, "we got PID on sin nombre, get her."
alejandro and soap looked at each other and understood what needed to be done.
get you out alive as well as sin nombre.
"we're moving in, you ready?" alejandro asked.
"check." said graves.
"ghost?"
"ready." said ghost.
zeros pov
you heard the doors behind you burst open and sin nombre grabbed you from her men. you tried to fight her but she held a knife to your face when you notice a helicopter was above you both.
"let me go and she lives." sin nombre told graves and his men.
you notice soap and alejandro pointing their weapons at her. her grip tightened on you, "dont!" you told them.
you know that your team would've taken the shot if given the chance but you needed her alive and unhurt. "yeah... dont." sin nombre mocked.
"put the knife down!" soap ordered her, as soap ordered her to do so she dragged the knife on your cheek causing you to bleed.
you cursed at the pain but soon heard the knife fall to the ground as it followed a tazing sound. "secure the target!" graves told soap and alejandro.
time skip to 02 november 2022
"ghost! i have the controls to the missile." you commed to him.
"how the hell did you manage to do that?" he asked you while looking at graves.
"you took too long getting your asses up here." was all you said, "i dont think i can disarm it. its too late for that." you told them.
"making our way up to you," graves responded.
you seen ghost, soap and graves rushing in the room you were standing in.
you didnt specialize in aborting missiles but you tried everything you could from the knowledge that you did have, "abort code wont work." you told graves.
graves reported to shepherd about the situation at hand, "if we cant disarm we must detonate." you heard him say.
"zero! on the controls." graves ordered you.
soap and ghost took guard of the your flank as you grabbed the controls.
"what are we going to detonate the missile on?" you asked graves.
graves shook his head as he messed with the pad, "on the oil rig. its the only chance we got!"
you looked at ghost.
ghost understood what was said with just a look and ordered alejandro and his team to clear the rig.
you followed graves' orders to cause the missile to detonate on the oil rig causing graves to throw a small celebration as you were able to stop the missile from its inital target.
"good work. get ready to get home." shepherd told you all over comms.
you gave soap a small fist bump as he raised his hand asking for one.
ghost gave you a pat on the shoulder.
you lot made your way back to transportation to head back to alejandros base. you were stuck in the middle of ghost and soap in the backseat.
soap had eventually fell asleep on the ride back and you were too uncomfortable as soap made the backseat practically his bed. you noticed that ghost was pressed against the door and moved one of his arms to rest on the head rest behind you to possibly give you more space.
you couldnt tell if he was feeling uncomfortable or if he was just being his usual quiet self as he stared off in the distance out the window but you were thankful that he tried to make space for you.
you noticed the cars ahead of you stopped near the entrance of alejandros base.
graves got out of his car and alejandro followed.
their voices were muffled, you nudged soap to wake him up to get out. "get up, johnny." ghost said before exiting the car - you followed ghost as soap was the last to exit.
"step away from the gate." said graves.
alejandro looked at graves with a questionable expression, "this is my base." alejandro told.
"im taking over," said graves - he turned to look at you, soap and ghost, "you all have been relieved. thank you for your service." he told us.
"graves?" you asked.
"i need you all to leave." he looked at you.
soap stepped in, "you're out of line, graves." he told him. graves pointed his finger at you all, "dont do something you will regret." he warned.
ghost stepped infront of you, "is that a threat?" ghost asked.
"you should know i dont make treats but promises." said graves.
you rolled your eyes at him but no one could see, "does shepherd know?!" you asked finally peaking behind from ghost.
graves looked at the ground, "it was his idea and he wishes you all well." he said.
"bullshit." you spit at the ground.
as graves continued bickering with you about shepherd and what the hell was going on ghost and soap looked at each other. this wasn't going to end well. graves has a big ego about being a big shot and being the man in charge.
"my men are inside!" finally yelled alejandro.
a smug smile appeared on graves' face, "they've been detained." he told alejandro.
all hell broke loose at those words.
before you knew it ghost stuck a knife in two men that were in front and behind you both. you pulled out your pistol to shoot the man that appeared from behind the car.
ghost looked at you as a thank you for covering him.
you heard soap groan in pain and he fell back, you tried to take a shot at graves but he managed to quickly dodge and you shot the man behind him who caused the wounding shot to soap.
"get out!" ghost yelled to soap. he was struggling from losing blood.
you were willing to stay and take the fight against the dirty bastard graves but ghost pulled you away from the scene when he confirmed that soap made it out.
"its not worth it!" yelled ghost to you.
you listened to your L.t. and followed him, just as you turned your back to focus on what was ahead of you, one of graves' men was able to get a shot on you.
a bullet wound entered from the back and was able to exit out your collarbone, "fuck!" you cursed. ghost stopped quickly to scan what was wrong and seen the wound.
"lets get somewhere safe and we'll take care of it." he reassured you.
to be continued...
please keep in mind this is a potential slow burn! smutty simon and fluffy simon will make an appearance at some point(s) in the series.
i do not own anything of call of duty or any of the characters. I rewrote some bits of the campaign to include 'zero' for structure for the rest of my story.
