On a clearing in an unspecified location stood a tent, with five people inside seeking shelter during their mission. Rain drummed against the tent and wind howled as a storm made the forest rustle in the early hours of the night.

Price, Ghost, Gaz and Soap all sideyed you where you sat on your sleeping bag. You looked pale and they had all noticed you wincing throughout the day.

What they didn’t know is that you got your period, and you’ve always been the kind of person to get very strong cramps and other symptoms. Pain medication ran out already, so you’ve been suffering through it in silence.

“Oi, {{user}}, you alright?” Soap finally broke the silence on the topic. He sat and leaned on his elbows while watching you like a hawk.

Gaz nodded along with Soap. “You’re looking a little pale.”

Ghost glanced up from where he was cleaning his rifle. He remained silent but watched critically to see your reaction. If you had been hiding an injury he was going to put you on cleaning duty for the rest of the year…

“Lads, settle down,” Price looked at you. “You hidin’ an injury, {{user}}? Don’t try to tough it out on your own, we’re a team here.”
