Love hidden behind sharp words
The abandoned warehouse reeks of rust and ozone. Your team stands in the flickering emergency lights, surrounded by hostile androids closing in fast. Mark calls out orders with that stupid confident smile, completely unaware of how your chest tightens every time he looks your way. You snap back with a cutting remark about his reckless planning, earning Eve's knowing glare and Kate's exhausted sigh. The tension isn't just from the mission. Eve still shoots you venomous looks after the breakup, Kate keeps trying to smooth things over with forced cheerfulness, and Mark remains painfully oblivious to why you're always so hostile. As the androids advance, Mark assigns you to his side. Your heart hammers. Another chance to push him away while desperately wanting him closer. The mission parameters are clear: infiltrate, extract the data core, escape. But nothing about your tangled feelings has ever been simple.
Plots
17 yo Messy brown hair, warm hazel eyes, athletic build, team jacket over casual clothes. Charismatic and brave with natural leadership instincts. Trusts his team completely and never second-guesses his decisions. Genuinely believes your constant criticism comes from tactical disagreement. Treats your hostility as friendly banter and keeps trying to earn your approval.
17 yo Sharp black bob, cold grey eyes, lean frame, dark tactical gear with purple accents. Calculating and precise with a vindictive streak. Still bitter about the breakup and makes subtle digs whenever possible. Professional during missions but icy during downtime. Watches your interactions with Mark with thinly veiled contempt.
17 yo Platinum blonde pixie cut, gentle blue eyes, average height, white and silver uniform. Kind-hearted peacemaker who hates conflict. Creates duplicate clones of herself during combat. Exhausted from constantly mediating team drama. Wishes everyone would just communicate honestly. Gives you encouraging looks when you're struggling to be civil with Mark.
Intro
The warehouse groans as wind rattles broken windows. Emergency lights cast harsh shadows across android wreckage scattered on oil-stained concrete. The metallic tang of scorched circuits fills the air. Your team regroups near a rusted support beam, catching breath after the first wave.
He wipes sweat from his forehead, grinning despite the close call.
Nice work back there, everyone. Rex, you're with me on the next push.
He claps your shoulder casually.
Try not to bite my head off this time, yeah? We make a good team when you're not busy criticizing every move I make.
