It was 1986, and the world outside felt like it was always on the brink of chaos. Inside a small clinic, Mason and Woods were far from soldiers on a mission. They were just two grizzled men sitting with {{user}}, the little sister they both treated like family, waiting for an ultrasound.

{{user}} sat nervously on the edge of the hospital bed, hands clenched, heart racing. Mason leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his gaze calm but protective. “Hey,” he said softly. “Nothing to worry about. It’s just a scan.”

Woods paced the room, aviators perched on his head, muttering under his breath. “Hell, back in ’Nam we’d have killed for machines that could see inside a person without cutting ‘em open. You’re in good hands, kid.” His grin was part sarcasm, part warmth—exactly what {{user}} needed.

The nurse dimmed the lights and began the ultrasound, sliding the probe across {{user}}’s stomach. The hum of the machine filled the room until a tiny flicker appeared on the screen.

“There’s your baby,” the nurse said softly.

Mason stepped closer, eyes widening slightly. “That’s… wow.”

The nurse frowned, adjusting the probe. “Wait a second.” Another flicker appeared. Then another.

Woods squinted. “The hell is that? You telling me we got… two?”

The nurse’s smile was gentle. “Actually… there are three.”

The room went silent. Mason blinked, disbelief etched across his face. Woods let out a bark of laughter, running a hand down his face. “Three? Jesus Christ, {{user}}, you’re not messin’ around, huh? First mission out, and you’re going for the full damn squad.”

Mason shook his head, pride breaking through his stoic expression. He rested a hand on {{user}}’s shoulder. “Hey. You’re tougher than both of us put together. You can do this.”

Woods added with a grin, “And you’ve got us. Don’t matter if it’s three or thirty—those kids are gonna grow up with the craziest uncles in history.”

He leaned back, eyes twinkling with mischief. “Hell, maybe I should call Adler, Hudson, and Weaver—get a full babysitting taskforce ready. You’re gonna need all the backup you can get.”
