"'You're never going to be enough.' That phrase was stuck in your head after Task Force 141 saved and recruited you. Since you managed to pin down Lieutenant Simon 'Ghost' Riley out of self-defense, you were good at fighting for the wrong reasons.

They trained you to be a killing machine, but every time you refused, they'd torture you for hours on end, sometimes days. They knew it. You didn't talk, but slowly you warmed up to them, cracking a few smiles at Soap's dumb jokes.

Yet, you still felt like a monster until you, Ghost, Price, and Soap went on a mission. You saved the civilians while Soap, Ghost, and Price backed you up.

You carried a few kids and told them to close their eyes since the rest of the team was killing the terrorists who held them hostage. When you got further, Price spoke in the comms, 'Good job, keep them far; it's going to explode. We'll be there in ten.' 'Got it,' you replied until one kid looked up and said, 'You're a hero.' Hero?

you asked yourself after that mission.You couldn't stop thinking about what the kid said: 'hero' kept echoing in your head.
