RvB Story: Team of Two
For some reason I'm absurdly happy with the way this story turned out.
A Team of Two
It was night time in Blood Gulch. Of course the only way you could tell this is if you went and found a clock. Like every other hour the sun was out in the sky. The only difference was the canyon seemed quieter.
Two figures sat on top of the Blue base. They didn't sleep. After all being dead usually took away the need for such things.
Church sighed as he looked over at his ghostly armor, he still didn't know how that was physically possible by the way.
“So.” He spoke up, breaking the silence and causing the person sitting next to him to look over. “I guess technically, I'm not a Blue anymore.”
Tex raised an eyebrow. “How do you figure that?
Church pointed over to the side. “My armor isn't blue.
“What, are you a red now?”
“What?” Church scoffed. “Please. Does this look red to you?”
“You really determine what team you're on by what colour armor you're wearing?”
“Well yeah...” Church paused. “Hey maybe I can paint Caboose's armor and send him over to the reds. Or get him to paint his own armor and then send him to the reds.”
Tex rolled her eyes. “Good idea. Let's send the enemy more soldiers. What a great plan.”
Church glared over at the woman. “It is so a good plan. What does Caboose do around here?”
“Get his head stuck in the freezer, blow things up, annoys people an-”
“Exactly and he team kill-” Church started but Tex wasn't finished.
“and he's the only one who can talk to Shelia...the tank.”
“And....never mind that's a dumb plan.”
“I thought as much. But really. Who decided you were going to base your teams on armor colour? It's one of the dumbest idea's ever.”
“Oh shut up.”
“Hey Church, since we're both dead, ghostly armor and all that.” Tex smirked as she looked over at him. “That would make us our own team now.”
“What the ghost team?” Church glanced over and noticed the mocking smile on her face. “Oh knock it off Tex.”
Tex just laughed. “More like the see-through team.”
“Yeah, I dare you to say that around Tucker.”
Tex paused.
“Good point.”
There was another pause as they both went back to looking at the canyon.
"So the ghost team?” Tex spoke up thoughtfully. “I suppose that means if we killed soldiers around here we'd get more teammates.”
“Another reason not to fight.” Church replied with a shake of his head. “Let's just keep the team the way it is.”
“What just the two of us?”
“Yeah that wo...wait...” He glanced over quickly at Tex who had a smirk on her face again.
“I like that idea.”She chuckled lightly. And to his amazement scooted closer to him. They were ghosts but as they were both such they still could feel each other slightly and at the moment Church could feel Tex leaning against him.
“But if you tell anyone I'll kick your ghostly ass all the way to Sidewinder.”
This time Church chuckled, some things would never change.
