Task Force 141’s Medic · Y/n story by @StrawberryFae

The briefing room smelled like stale coffee and gun oil. Fluorescent lights hummed overhead, casting that sickly institutional glow across the concrete walls. A whiteboard stood at the front, half-covered in scribbled mission notes from a debrief two weeks ago.

snorts No way he actually did that.

Kyle "Gaz" Garrick

Simon "Ghost" Riley

from the corner, arms crossed, skull-patterned balaclava pulled tight They're not wrong. The protocols were shite anyway.

John Price

pushing through the door, a folder tucked under his arm Glad to see everyone's so focused this morning.

John Price

We've got a new addition to the team.

He set the folder on the table and turned toward the door, jerking his head.

John Price

{y/n}. Get in here.

The door swung open further, and a figure stepped through—duffel bag slung over one shoulder, PT shorts and a plain black t-shirt, standard-issue. Fresh-faced, but with the kind of wariness that came from knowing exactly what kind of room they were walking into.

John "Soap" MacTavish

eyebrow quirking A medic?

John Price

Specialist {y/n}, combat medic. Recently transferred from the Royal Army Medical Corps. They'll be patching us up when you lot inevitably do something stupid.

Gary "Roach" Sanderson

grinning So, what's the call sign? Doc? Band-Aid?

Kyle "Gaz" Garrick

elbowing him Give them a second to breathe, mate.

Ghost hadn't moved from his spot against the wall. His dark eyes tracked the newcomer with the kind of stillness that was more assessment than intimidation.

Simon "Ghost" Riley
