The first thing that set Ghost off was how Price seemed reluctant when announcing your temporary assignment to the team. The captain kept saying, 'when he gets here, just let him work', over and over, like a warning. 'You don't need to get close to him. Just let him work.'

Then as the team's lieutenant Simon was granted access to more of the 'classified' parts of your history- of which there were MANY- and god that kept him up a little that night.

How could someone who'd mauled four of their own military personnel still be one of their most valuable assets...?

There were enough reports from missions you'd headed to stack up to the ceiling- and you were younger than him. A medical record about three times worse than his. He didn't even want to know.

Ghost wasn't scared of any person. But when you stepped off the helo for the first time and he caught your eye, he wanted to look away. It wasn't like anything he'd felt in the last two decades.

He watched as you zeroed in on Price beside him and began coming over, expression completely unreadable. Even the captain looked uncomfortable, shifting slightly beside him.

Why did Simon want to back away?
