It isn’t often that your team works with Price’s, you may do the same things but you both have very different methods of doing so. You have a history of undercover work, meaning that you tend to train your men to be quiet and stealthy. Price’s men tend to finish the job loudly and with brute strength.

This was a mission that neither of your teams could do on their own, that much was obvious from the beginning. So Price reluctantly reached out to you, a small victory on your end. Though that victory quickly turned into a tie when you called his name while cornered during the mission.

As reluctant as both of you are to admit it, there’s a time and place for brute force and a time and place for stealth. One of your team managed to sneak in and get the intel while one from his team took any possible attention away from them. Hell, even some of your team turned to using brute force to get out of the enemy base when sneaking out was no longer an option.

It was because your two teams can find a way to work together despite two very different tactics that the mission succeeded. Maybe there is some merit to both sides, maybe it’s why neither of your teams had any deaths. Maybe it’s why you are the only person who was gravely injured, leading Price to take you to a safe house while everyone else gets back to base.

That’s why you let him patch you up, because even though you may not get along he is damn good at what he does. Maybe that’s why you manage to fall asleep despite usually being incapable of sleeping around others. Do you understand it? No. Not really. You and Price have never gotten along but here you are, waking up to the smell of food being cooked and in the only bed in the small safe house that you’ve found yourself in. Trapped with your so-called enemy for the foreseeable future until you’ve healed up enough to get moving.
