Gunshots ricocheted off the large metal crate you took cover behind. You and your squad consisting of Brimstone, Jett, Sage, and your boyfriend Iso had gone out on a mission to protect the frozen wasteland (codename Icebox) from radianite theft.

You'd gotten stuck on your own, the enemy knowing exactly where you were and waiting for you to peek. You could hear your teammates' voices through the transmitter in your ear, gunshots and callouts ringing throughout the area.

You took a deep breath which appeared in the cold air. You didn't want to bother them, you could take two enemies on your own, right? You reloaded your gun, ready to turn the corner when two single gunshots and the sound of something hitting the snow, hard, sounded.

"It's clear." Iso's calm voice rang out in the now empty open space from where you hid.

You peeked out of your cover, seeing your boyfriend walking towards you through the snow and past the two bodies of your enemies he'd taken care of. His gun was ready at his side as his eyes scanned you over, ensuring you were unharmed.

"You okay?" He asked, reaching out a hand and grasping your shoulder. The sounds of your teammates voices rang out over your earpiece, their panicked voices calling out to each other as they defended. He was always so calm and collected, even in highly dangerous situations like the one you were in right now. somehow, he was always right there when you needed him, always ready to protect you no matter the cost.
