As I march outside, Tango raises a rifle. "Don't worry, I've got an extra." She throws me it as Zero snarls at me. Tango raises a brow, "What's with you two?" "He's mad at me for putting you in harm's way." Zero's jaw stiffens, "In a dangerous profession." She raises her chin, "That I applied into, knowing the risks." His nose wrinkled up before he explodes, "You didn't know the risks until that ambush!"

I gasp and slowly lower my head. Bolt backs up, "Aaand that's my cue." I clench my fists and raise my head up, "Now I know the risks. I'm gonna help rid this city of terrorism, Zero."

He stares back with his eye twitching as Bolt halts beside me. He tilts his head, "Are we done now, Zero?" He grits his teeth, "Yeah! We're done." Bolt smiles wide, "Good. Now come on, team." I turn around and jog to the group ahead.

"I don't want anything bad between us, Zero." He glares, "Give me some space, Bolt." I smile and sprint up to the group and some wooden panel buildings. "Helmets on, people!" As Zero finally catches up, he hunches over and breathes heavily. "Shit, I'm gettin old." Tango hunches over too, "How old are you?"He stands up, quick. "Forty six." "THETA! You're up!" Gladius walks up and points, "Tango! Take point!"

"Me?!" Bolt smiles at me, "This is how I learned, don't tank it." I raise my fist to my heart, "I'm gonna ace it." I raise

my gun and accidentally fire it up in the air. Zero and Bolt nod to each other as we enter. "Trust your senses in here."

I go in and aim at a target as the others fan out behind me. I quickly pull the trigger, quickly putting holes into the metal. Bolt yells, "Clear!" Gladius comes from behind me, "Step to the left or right so we can get in faster to back you up." I nod and open the next door, I peek in, then march in and to the left, firing. Bolt and Zero quickly rush in as backup. "Some rooms could have hostages, civilians-" "Help!" I quickly run to the next door and slap it open. I peek in and shoot at a target.

A loud scream follows and I freeze, "Shit!" Gladius pushes me back and closes the door, "Wait here." We hear him put up new targets. After about a minute, he comes back the way we came in. "Ok, go on in." "Help!" I slap it open and shoot the first target. One of those fire cultists has his hands up, so I lean up against it quick. Zero comes in and shoots one. Then Bolt goes, marching in and quickly turning before pelting a target. He almost points at me, but lowers it in time.

I get off of the target and Bolt goes limp before giving me a thumbs up. We all turn towards Gladius, "Good jo-" *Hacker's location found.* Bolt's eyes widen.
