Chapter Text

It was close to the end of day for the day shift. Everyone was busy doing their own jobs around base. Some had no work or finished it early and their job was currently waiting for instruction. Which for some was one of the most annoying fucking things. However, it gave them the opportunity to find out who the fuck was making noise in yet another closet. 

The suspects list was not the same anymore. Most people knew Menace had just left on a mission. Other just saw Angel carrying a stack of files to Merrick's Office. Others knew Konig was in his office and if his wife had come to visit they wouldn't be sneaking around in closets when they have his entire office. Which they normally used. 

So who was it? 

Grim heard it first. Walking by with his face in a file that he was trying to read over to make sure his report was done before giving it to Merrick. He didn't want to have to redo it and stay longer than need be. When he heard the moan followed by a bump. He stops, looking up and slowly closing the file. He takes a couple of steps back. 

Bump. moan. 

He looks at the door. 

Bump. Moan. 

His lips press together under his mask and then he takes out his phone. Texting Keegan first. 

Grim: Care to see who framed you and Angel? 

Keegan: where.

So then Keegan was there. His arms folded across his chest in front of his chest. His head tilted to the side slightly. Grim Sits with his hand over his mouth as they just wait. 

Bump. Moan. Bump. Moan. 

"You know who else would wanna know?" Keegan asks, Grim looks over him. 

Then that's how Merrick was called over. Then Ghost stopped by when he was walking that way to get to the training room. Then Kick was next. All standing outside the closet waiting. Merrick just wanted to make sure it was no one on his team. Ghost wanted to know who the fuck it was since he got questioned if it was him. The rest were there for the tea. 

"How long you reckon this'll take" Ghost grumbles 

"I don't know? Want me to ask?" Kick asks, Ghost rolls his eyes and Keegan chuckles. 

"Yeah let's just knock and ask them for an ETA" Keegan jokes "Pun intended" 

A collective groan. 

It seemed like the bumping was getting faster which everyone knew that meant they were almost done with this little show. Soon after it was silence. Then the doorknob began to turn. Swinging open and then Alexis was the first one out. Her eyes widening. She tries to close the door but a hand keeps it open. 

"What are you doing- oh fuck" Torch says looking out at the group of people. Merrick shakes his head. 

"My office. Now" He says, Keegan chuckles Ghost just looks disturbed. Alexis looks at him on her way passed the group. Biting her cheek. 

"LT" She says as she passes him. He doesn't say anything. He had no intention of doing so. He would keep his distance from he regardless of who she was fucking. She made sure of that with her behavior. As they follow Merrick to his Office, the rest of the guys start chuckling. 

"Can't they do it in the barracks like normal fucking people" Grim says 

"Who fucking knows man" Kick says 

"Why where they could get caught? Did they tell Merrick about their relationship thing?" Keegan asks

"Did you and Angel when you two were fuckin?" Grim asks, Keegan shakes his head. 

"We weren't together. Just sleeping together" He says, Grim chuckles. 

"Right, I forgot you two just fucked each other stupid while fucking hating each other for being stupid" Grim says, Keegan laughs 

"Basically"

"Hey when is Menace supposed to be back? I gotta ask her something about one of the new recruits" Kick asks 

"Uhhh, two or three days depending on how well behaved Mr. Small dick is" Keegan answers


With Menace 

The trip had started quiet. They made it to the first stop easy. It wasn't a straight shot. However, Menace was more than capable at Keeping watch. They stopped at a hotel. She locked the door and let the guards have some time to sleep for a couple of hours. Having stopped only at six pm. Hopefully allowing she could sleep by midnight. She kept the locks on the door. A chair in front of it. She also didn't remove his cuffs. 

"Do we get food?" Brodie asks, She shrugs. 

"I can order room service but I wouldn't get you anything" She admits. He scoffs. 

"I'm a free man. You can take the cuffs off and treat me like one." He says, she shakes her head. 

"I'm good. I know what the paperwork says. Doesn't mean for a second I believe you aren't a shitty fucking person" She says 

"Jesus Christ. Of course they sent the bitch who hates men with me. Right? Is that what this is? You hate men?" He asks, she scoffs. 

"Yeah sure. Hate em." She says sarcastically. "So much so I married one" 

"He's probably cheating on you back home" He says

"He serves with me." She answers, unbothered by his comments. He nods. Clicking his tongue. He knew if he was going to get off this route, he needed to do it when the other guards were asleep. When all he had to fight was this woman. 

Why would they not send enough to cover every shift? 

It didn't matter to him. He knew what was waiting for him. Sure he was cleared of all charges. His team however, wouldn't be as understanding. They knew what he was like without the serum and they were not going to give him the benefit of the doubt. He was going to die over there. 

Chi and Persia had already threatened to kill him if he hurt Angel. Before they even met her. When they were all just talking around a campfire one night and he was talking about her. Talking about how difficult she was. How she doesn't speak to him while at work despite him knowing she could make time. They saw the signs. They warned him. 

He looks at the clock on the wall. It's seven. He had a couple of hours to think of something. He looks her over. 

"They send you on missions without a pistol?" He asks, she giggles. Looking over at him. 

"They aren't worried and neither am I. Behave Brodie" She says lightly. Well he didn't fucking like that. He fucking hates being told what to do. Especially by a woman. Brodie waited, another thirty minutes in silence. Mentally he was pouting but outwards he was just looking over the room. Looking over her. He could tell she must have some kind of leg injury. She walks heavier on her right leg. Which means her left leg has some kind of injury. One he is sure he could irritate if he tried. He just needed to find an opening. He could get out of the handcuffs. It would just hurt. He waited until she went to the bathroom. Dislocating his thumb and sliding the cuff off that hand before pushing it back into place. He bit down on his lips to cover his scream. He didn't have time to leave though. 

She had come back before he could. He reaches out as soon as she's within reach trying to uppercut her. She leans away from it grabbing his arm and pushing it against his back. Forcing him to turn. She pushes him into the bed. 

"You know I think I see mens fascination with this position" She says, he growls. 

"Let me up and I'll put you in it" He growls. 

"Ew" She replies and the goes to reach for his other arm. He bucks his elbow back hitting her in the chest. Which does make her loosen her grip. He Gets onto his back and she removes her knife from her belt. 

"I would't" She says, he chuckles

"I'm not worried about you bitch" He says and then goes for his attack. He tries to knock her hand from the knife but her grip on it is firm. He kicks the left leg. Then feels like something cracked in his shoe. She shoves him back and holds the knife up to his face. 

"What the fuck?"

"I have a metal leg you dumbass" She says "If you dented it I am going to fucking skin you. It'll look horrible dented" 

"The fuck is wrong with you?" He asks, she sighs  pulling up her radio with her other hand. 

"Menace to detail. I need y'all to wake the fuck up. He's starting his bullshit" She says, there is grumbles. 

"Copy that Menace" A tired voice says. Brodie seems to realize who the fuck he just tried to attack. Sighing and closing his eyes. 

"Yeah dumbass. You didn't stand a chance." She says "Now are you gonna be a good boy or do I have to kill you and tell everyone you tried to escape. No one will question it" 

"I'm dead if I get back to Colorado anyway" He says, she nods. 

"I know. I'm the one that told them you hit Angel" She says, "Now, do you want me to kill you now? I can make it slow. I can make it painful. I can make you beg for me to stop because I heard what you did to Angel. I don't fuck with men like that." 

"I'll be good" He says, she giggles. 

"I don't trust you" She says before slicing his throat. She lets him sag against the bed gargling. The other two guards coming up and bursting through the door. They look at it.

"Are you okay?" They ask, she gives them a teasing look.

"He got a couple of cheap shots in. He was done for the moment he tried it." She says, they nod. "Radio Price. Let him know we are coming back early. I'll call the local police and let them grab his body" 

"Copy that Menace" One says reaching for his radio. 


Torch and Alexis didn't get into too much trouble. They both had to fill out a form for dating or sleeping together. Had to be talked to about the ways they are allowed to go about it. Talk to about what they are allowed to do and what they aren't. 

They both had to tell Merrick they were not a couple. Just sleeping together for fun. Which was all it was to Torch. He thought she was cool. He didn't want to be with her though. She was still too immature for his taste in far off emotions. 

She however, was in love with him. She didn't tell him that and didn't plan on it either. Since her track record hasn't been great. She would take the attention where she could get it. 

Angel was happy to know that she would know longer have to worry about Alexis annoying Keegan with her poor attempts to get in his pants. Though she understood the whole reason why she wanted him so bad. Since they established their relationship they barely kept their hands off each other at home. She got it. 

Everyone was happy for the most part. 

Menace did come home early. Her metal leg having a slight dent in it that made her angry but at the same time it was better than him going for her good leg and breaking it. Ghost was just happy to have her back home. 

Vivian and Konig were raising their daughter. Splitting the time with Menace and Ghost having T-man who loved his niece. 

Angel and Keegan don't go back to their toxic ways but the sex was always just as toxic. Neither one of them wanting to give up that part. Who could blame them either. 

Keegan did take Angel home to meet his mom. Which he was right he was bullied all the time by all three of them. Thought it was more than just a couples trip. He brought all his friends. Menace and Ghost brought T-man because they needed to get him some Chilis. They wanted to show the other guys the place he was obsessed with. Vivian and Konig went because Vivian wanted to show him America when he wasn't on mission. 

Sitting around the park table, Price grilling burgers and hotdogs. Angel, Ghost, Vivian, Keegan, and his family were laughing. Enjoying the park day while Gaz, Soap, Konig, and T-man were playing soccer. Or Football as they were argue. 

"I must say it is so nice to see the people that my boy works with" His mom says, Menace giggles. 

"It is nice to hear them" Layla says, Keegan elbows her. 

"Married. Most of them are Married" He says 

"I can look. I just can't touch and that's okay" She says leaning on her elbows. 

"What happened with Kyle?" Keegan asks, she looks away. 

"I broke up with him" She says, but she is surrounded by trained liars. Who know how to spot liars. Angel sees it first. 

"So he hit you?" Angel asks, Layla's eyes widen. 

"What the fu-"

"It's ninety degrees out and humid. you are wearing a long sleeve shirt and an infinite scarf. You keep your arms close to your body like you are afraid if someone gets too close they will see it through the clothes. You flinched when your mom moved her hands into her lap. You have been keeping a watchful eye on every man since they showed up and I know it's not for sex because you look mistrusting" Angel says, Layla just stares with her eyes wide and her mouth agape. 

"Clocked" Menace says, 

"Ace" Ghost scolds 

"Sorry" 

"He fucking hit you?" Keegan asks, she sighs 

"He got drunk. It was only the one time and I broke it off because I know better. I just pissed him off and he got really upset." She says Keegan bites back a scowl. 

"Where does he live?" Angel asks

"Please don't do this" Layla says 

"I have his address" Keegan's mother speaks up. 

"Great! Give it to me" Menace says "I'll throw my leg at him" 

Keegan snorts. 

"I'll send it to Keegan and he can share it" His mom says 

"I hate you. Keegan do not fucking dare" Layla says, he chuckles. 

Yeah no they kicked his fucking ass. Menace really did throw her leg at him. Keegan warned him. He really should have listened. 

Notes:

Yes this is the end I am afraid. However, there are still plenty of stories to read! Knives and Battering Rams is still ongoing. I have some out of this fandom if you are into DC. If you want more of these Traumatized men who wear masks to sexualize. (same) Those are also up. Then I might be writing a new story soon which will be a new OC and Ghost. Most likely still Angsty as fuck. Come on it's me. I don't know how to write happiness as I rarely experience it. ANYWAY! Thank y'all for reading this. Thank you for being around. Your comments always fueled me to keep writing and Your reactions give me life. I appreciate every single one you.

For those who saw I changed my username, I was Lovinghell yes! However I switched it to this as I am being more open about who I am off of this app. As I have welcomes a lot of my friends I met through cosplay to these stories. So now is a great time to inform you guys IRL- I am actually nicknamed Menace. I go by it on the daily. SO writing Menace as a female badass character was insanely amazing to watch y'all love her so much.

Onto the next project. I hope to see you there xx
