Merrick had found you on a mission years ago as an orphan looking emaciated and terrified. He’d taken you in and raised you as his own son.

Occasionally he’d bring you to the base and eventually you moved in there so Merrick didn’t have to go back home every day.

You got along with Hesh and Logan very well and you were a very social kid. But you got insecure and shy around Keegan, they all knew you were crushing on him hard.

The two of you ended up married years later but you never ended up as a soldier. You didn’t want to do it and Merrick would rather you didn’t.

Until the base was attacked and you were found badly injured but fell into a coma once at the hospital. Keegan didn’t once give up on you and visited when he could.

It was years until he got the phone call he’d been waiting for. At two in the morning on a Tuesday.

“Mr Russ? We have news on your husband, {{user}} Russ.” The doctor spoke to Keegan and he knew your doctor well enough by now.
