Memories :: Chapter 2

The two of you followed Scout down the hall. There were five doors on each side of this section. Nine of them had the logos of each of the mercenaries, and the last one on the left was blank. Scout had stopped in front of the last one, the door without a logo.

"So, this is your room. My room's this one," Scout pointed to the one on your left. "And Spy's is the one across the hall, and Engie's is the one next to mine." He smiled. "The rooms aren't much, but they're pretty decent." He opened the door to the room that would be yours for the next month.

The room was simple, with a bed, a minifridge (yay!), a closet, bathroom and desk. "All the rooms are pretty much the same, so we've all got a room like this. You can customize it if you want, make it more... you." Sniper said, stepping into the room.

You followed him, tossing your duffel bag onto the bed. "It's nice, really." you smiled. Suddenly, a voice came from the doorway. "So, she 'as arrived, hm?"

You, Sniper and Scout all turned to the doorway. Nobody was there. Well, at least nobody visible.

"What do you want?" Scout made a face at the open doorway.

The RED Spy decloaked, becoming visible. He was leaning against the doorframe with a bored look on his face. "Really, Scout, do you 'ave to be so immature? We do 'ave a guest, after all." The Spy looked at you, like he was sizing you up. "I am sorry you 'ave to listen to 'is rudeness zis early in ze morning."

"N-no, it's fine, really, there's no problem." You said awkwardly.

Scout frowned. "I'm sorry you have to be around this frickin' creep, sneaking around like some invisible stalker."

"At least I do not act like a little child." The spy retorted.

"Hey, screw you, man!"

You turned to Sniper, who stood beside you. "Do they fight often?" you whispered.

"Every day..." He replied with a sigh.

Suddenly, a thud came from the doorway. You and Sniper whirled around. Scout was on the floor, on top of the Frenchman. "Don't talk about my ma that way, you creep!" He yelled, punching the spy.

"Oi. get off of him, Scout!" Sniper commanded.

"Stay out of this, Snipes!" Scout yelled, hitting the Frenchman again.

"Hey! Both of you!" you called, walking over. "Stop acting like children!" You pulled Scout off of the Spy and to his feet. Spy stood up.

"Scout, apologize for tackling him. Spy, apologize for whatever it was you said about Scout's mom." Both men frowned.

"Sorry." Scout spat.

"Sorry." Spy replied back. "Sorry that you 'ave the maturity of a five year old."

"Spy!" you almost shouted.

"Alright, I am sorry. Are you 'appy now?"

"Oi, you two need to stop acting like total morons in front of (F/N). You're making us all look bad!" Sniper chastised.

Down the hall, a door opened. "What in tarnation is all this noise?" A Texan-accented voice asked.

"Hey Engie, the Announcer's daughter is here!" Scout called.

"Hello there, nice t'meetcha. I'm the team's Engineer." the Engineer greeted.

"Hi, my name's (F/N)." you waved.

"Welp, I'll be in mah room if anybody needs me." He said, stepping back into his room and closing his door. "He's a good guy." Scout stated. "Now c'mon, I'll take you to meet the rest of the team!" Taking your hand, he led you down the hall, leaving Sniper and Spy alone.
