Often than not, there’s usually one mistake, one miscalculation on a mission- not with you. For once that overthinking your brain does comes in handy, forming confidence for every single outcome it could think of.

It made you a menace in the field, ruthless, deadly, too silent. It scared some people how calm, how collected, how confident you were in your ability to make every step count, how you thought of four different situations and beat them accordingly.

Even now, faced with a gun to your forehead, Alejandro watched as your brain worked- he had to watch because he ruined your plan by taking a step too far. He’s been your partner for nearly four years, he’s learned to watch the signs of your overthinking come to life. He knew if you moved, the enemy would shoot you, would end you like you were nothing more than a roach.

And, yet, you surprised him once again. He watched as your lips pulled into that damn smirk when you thought of what to do, the one that told them you had the outcome planned and your counter ready.
