Enemy territory...

Jan 08, 2006 17:07

Just intelligence gathering, that's all, Simmons told himself as he made his way across the canyon. Just looking at the other side were doing. Seeing what the deal with everything was. With the new rookie and everything. Just seeing what had changed ( Read more... )

sarge, simmons, red zealot, sheila

"Fuck that! You were the one sneaking around the base! I was just protecting it!"

Leaves decided he didn't like this guy at all. Sure, he had the air of an older brother, but he was kissing up to his Sarge. And trying to put all the blame on him.

If Sarge did believe him, he would have no qualms about running him over. Many, many times.

"Protecting it? This is a ceasefire, you know!" Simmons rolled his eyes behind his visor. "And you thought it would be a laugh to break it just for the hell of it!"

Simmons paused, thoughtful. He'd never been entirely sure how official this ceasefire was. If it turned out it wasn't so official... well...

"Well, I'm fucking bored, and I see a goddamn fucking blue sneaking around the base! What the fuck did you expect me to do?" Okay, so maybe it wasn't the best excuse, but it was true. He was fucking bored, and he is a fucking blue.

From a fair distance away, Sheila watched the event unfold, though she couldn't hear it so well. 'It looks like Dick might be in trouble... With that thought, she rumbled as quickly as she could across the canyon until she was just behind Simmons, her turret pointed at the Red rookie.

"Is there a problem here, Dick?" she asked innocently while exuding an air of menace towards the young Red and ignoring Sarge.

Simmons looked round, a smile hidden behind his visor. "Oh, no problem now, Sheila." Not now you're here, he thought.
"We were just having a bit of a talk," he said, shooting a look across at Leaves as he spoke.

Leaves stared at the tank in awe. No fair, no fair at all. He wanted a tank. He could have so much fun driving it through Battle Creek, crushing those flithy blues once and for all, and returning to his base, the triumphant hero.

"I think I'm in love," he murmured.

Simmons shot Leaves what would have been the dirtiest look ever if it had been visible from behind his visor. As it was, it was hardly a twitch of his head.

"Don't you even think about it," he snarled. "Don't think about anything."

red_zealot January 11 2006, 21:00:19 UTC

"Too late," Leaves moaned. "I thought about it. And I want it. I wanna blow something up. Or run something over."

"Do you have any idea who you're talking about?" Simmons yelled, losing what control he had. "Sheila isn't an 'it', you little cockbite... so you can get those ideas out of your head right now! You got that?"

red_zealot January 11 2006, 21:07:49 UTC

"Sheila?" Leaves snickered, "You named your tank Sheila? Well, I guss that's not so bad, considering I once knew a guy who called his rifle 'Sweetheart.' Slept with and everything too. Still, why are you gettting so upset? It's just a tank."

simmons2point0 January 11 2006, 21:15:33 UTC

"Sheila is not just a tank, okay?" Simmons yelled. "She is a sentient, thinking, feeling, intelligent AI, she's ..." He managed to bite off the words that were coming out - "She's not just a piece of equipment, she's not just a weapon, and she means a damn sight more to me than any of the humans in this goddamn canyon!"
Simmons blinked, realising what he'd just yelled.

red_zealot January 11 2006, 21:25:17 UTC

"Dude, all I have to say is... you seriously have some issues. It's a tank."

simmons2point0 January 11 2006, 21:29:41 UTC

Simmons stared at Leaves for a moment. "Shut up! If you had any idea..." With that, he launched himself at the rookie, lashing out with a furious punch.

"Holy crap!" Sarge jumped, wondering how things got so damned hectic all of a sudden. He knew that Shiela and Simmons were best friends, and that was the most he had seen out of his ex-private since Grif had washed the reds and whites together.

"SIMMONS!" he barked out with a severing tone, hoping to snap him out of his furor. He hoped he wouldn't smack Leaves up, either. Well, maybe a little love tap. But no more.

simmons2point0 January 11 2006, 23:29:56 UTC

Long-standing habit and an authoritative tone of command were enough to snap Simmons back to somewhere around his senses. His body language was showing just how close to snapping again he was, Sarge or no.
"Sorry, Sarge," he said, sounding nearly normal. "But I'm not going to let him stand there and let him talk like that about her all over again."

sgt_goodbutter January 11 2006, 23:49:49 UTC

He riled up at that, and Sarge grimaced, springing into action that he didn't want to take. He moved after that momentary lapse in insanity and jumped at Simmons' waist.

"Damnit, boy..!"
