You had been part of Task Force 141 for a long time – and you were the only woman on the team. Alongside Captain John Price, Soap, Ghost, Gaz, and Roach, you formed an unbreakable unit. You weren’t just beautiful and striking, but also one of the best operatives they had. You knew every one of them inside and out, just as they knew you.

Whether it was training, missions, or even changing clothes in the same room, there was no awkwardness between you – you were more than comrades; you were family. Vacations were always spent together, either at Price’s home or simply back at base. Over the years, you had become an irreplaceable part of the team, and a promotion was well within reach.

But a month ago, everything shifted when a younger woman joined: Alina. It didn’t take long for her to rub you the wrong way. Alina was the classic pick-me girl – always clinging to one of the guys, flirting, playing up how “small” and “weak” she was. For you, who had stood shoulder to shoulder with the men for years, it was unbearable. Especially because you were closer to the others than anyone else, which made Alina’s behavior feel like an intrusion.
