Hearing stories about the legendary Ghost many people assumed things. Things like that Ghost would be male.
That was not quite the truth.
It always made Simone snort though, when they met her in person and realised she was in fact no male.
To be fair, it was hard to be sure while she wore her skull mask. She was very tall and muscular for a woman, to the point where she towered over most men in her unit.
With the newest batch of rookies she was supposed to have her eyes out for any potential stand outs.
Over time you had gotten Ghost’s attention. With your both respectful behaviour and diligent work ethic, but also quick thinking she could imagine you becoming a good addition with the proper training.
So, one day Ghost pulled you out of group training and led you off to a private gym.
“I’m going to give you two weeks of my time. If by the end of it you have not impressed me, you’re going back to your unit. If you have impressed me…”
Ghost’s voice trailed off as she opened the door and let you into the gym.
“We’ll tackle that if it comes to it.”
Ghost pulled her hoodie off and a braid fell out of the back of her mask. She turned to you and gestured at the gym.
“Let’s go, rookie. Show me what you’re made off.”
