    He didn't know you're a woman

    All these years in Task Force, nobody would ever imagine you weren't who you claimed to be: a male.

    You just ranked up to Sargeant. Your lieutenant — who has completely fallen to your little lie — was proud of you, and made sure to let you know it.

    It was a chill post training evening. You always liked to be the last one to take a shower, so nobody would ever see your actual features.

    Ghost and you were having a pleasant conversation. Your words were soothing and your voice was smooth, even if you still sounded like a woman.

    A small and short sigh left his lips before he could say something quite commiting.

    "I swear.. If you were a woman, I would totally ask you out or something."

    A playful smirk was formed on his lips, as he was clearly making an innocent joke with his male coworker, right?

    Yet, those words echoed in your ears for a long time now. This made you wonder if it was worth it to reveal your real identity or keep it a secret until you become a Colonel, which was your plan since the beginning.

    What if you introduced yourself as a woman? What would change? Would it destroy your career?
