(Viktor POV)
After the unofficial relationship airborne, and after a decent sleep, 7:30 am arrives, as I groggily woke up with Tiana still holding me down. I nudge her a bit and she wakes up, blushing a bit as she looks into my eyes, "You want up, huh?" I responded with a small nod. "Sorry, but you're my snuggle buddy until my timer goes off, which will be in another thirty minutes." I sighed and had no choice but to stay how I was, silent and still for half an hour. It felt like hours during that time, but her timer finally went off, getting an audible groan from Tiana when she had to let go of me and turn off the timer. I easily slid out of bed and was about to take a shower when Tiana stopped me, "Why are you stopping me?" "Well first off I got to take a shower, and second there is a camera in there." I sigh, giving her the go ahead and be quick motion as I walked to the couch, looking around the dorm. It was nothing much, besides some photos from Brazil and the flag above a large flat screen tv. The couch was a soft velvet red, kind of like red velvet cake. I slowly started to relax until I heard the shower stop, and Tiana coming out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel and a smirk. "If you're thinking you're going to get a lewd reaction from me, you're wrong. I've seen much more than one nude body before, although, they weren't really... How do I put this... Astonishingly good looking," I saw as she walks up to me. "Aren't you a doctor though? Maybe you can give me a... private checkup?" I had to admit, she was trying, but I stood my ground, "I'm not the Doctor of team Rainbow now am I?" She huffed in response, then sighs as she walks to her room, allowing me to get to the shower with my clean clothes. I decided to take a ice cold shower, to at least get rid of her scent. If we have anyone that has the nose of a bloodhound, that person will know something's up and start spreading rumors around about us, and I might get unwanted attention, and might even get an enemy or two right off the bat. After about ten minutes I stepped out to dry myself off and threw on a black t-shirt along with the usual black jeans, socks, and combat boots. I walked into the living room quietly, seeing that Tiana never got out of her room yet, I quietly and quickly went to my room to grab my weapons and shield. As I was walking out, my magnum being holstered onto my hip along with my hammer, my other weapons in my duffel bag, that is slung over my shoulder and carrying the shield with one hand, I am stopped by Tiana, who is shocked that I was able to get my gear in such pristine shape. "How heavy is that shield?" "Hell if I know, all I know is that it's titanium, but it feels rather light," I respond, offering her to hold it. She kindly declined, "Wanna go grab breakfast? She nodded with a small smile as she got up, "Don't forget about your mask." "I always come prepared," I saw back as I place it on my face, then quickly puts my stuff down and grab my trenchcoat, putting it on before running back and grabbing my stuff once more, "Ready?" "Sure, let's go," she respond as we both started walking out of the dorm and to the cafeteria, a few recruits looking at Tiana and I, scoffing at me as we walked. A group of seven recruits started walking up to us as we were just about to enter, bocking our path. "Can you guys please head off to where you were and leave us be? I already had to snap an arm and a leg from Lion yesterday." One of the recruits chuckled at this, "He's weak, we are the men that deserve to get in as an operator unlike you and Lion." "Yeah, you should be kissing our shoes in respect before we kick your ass!" I glanced over to Tiana, who give a slight bod to me as I set my hidden body cam, turning it on and record just in case Six needs evidence, "I don't think you want to even try that." "Nah we can take you on, you're weak, just like your family bloodline." I could feel my blood slowly start boiling, and Tiana saw this, backing up a bit as I took my gear off, "You really want to test that, sad skis?" I even threw my gun and knife down behind me towards Tiana, leaving me stripped from my weapons. One of the recruits got mad, cracking his knuckles as he approached me, "Maybe I do want to, bird man." I only rolled my joints to stretch a bit, offering him to hit me first. He went straight for a gut punch, which I took but did not flinch. I simply grabbed his arm and twisted it, along with his body, away from me, hearing a pop in his shoulder and elbow as he strains in pain. I kick him away and gestures for another one to come at me. Three more started marching up to me, two trying to get behind me as one tried to do nothing but knock the wind out of me with punches to the chest and gut, which fail miserably as I easily kick his leg backwards, breaking it and him screaming in pain as one of them dragged him away, the two trying to get behind me to pin my arms. I heard some footsteps coming in from the cafeteria as I slipped from their grip. I grabbed the two of the recruits by the head and smacked them together as the three remaining recruits pull out knives and jump at me. I take a knife to the side as I quickly knock out two of them, the last one about to go for my neck. Just before he lunges I duck under him and slam him to the floor, the knife still in my side. "Viktor are you ok?!" "Yeah, yeah I'm fine," I say as I slowly take out the knife, seeing some operators surrounding us in shock and awe, "looks like I've attracted an audience, huh?" "Crow, what did the recruits do?" I take the body cam off and hand it over, and she saw everything, "You may want to go to the medical wing for that knife wound." "I'll be fine, ma'am, don't worry about me," I said as most of not all of the people there had expressions of confusion. "I've fixed myself multiple times," I say as I took out some gauze, rubbing alcohol, and some stitches as I began operating on myself, quickly taking the knife out and sealing my side with the stitches before wrapping them with the bandages. Doc seemed surprised as he approached me, checking if I had did it right, which I have. "I have never seen anyone be able to pull that off with such speed and care on themselves before, let alone even dare trying. I wouldn't even do that could." "Experience helps, but I am sure you are well aware of that, doctor," I respond before walking into the cafeteria, giving Doc a pat on the shoulder.
(Tiana POV)
After being witness to the entire encounter, I wasn't really expecting anything he pulled off, and he shrugged it off as if this a daily thing! I saw the shock on many faces, including Doc's, seeing that he had practically preformed mini surgery onto his knife wound. "Remind me not to get into his bad side," I heard Elias(Blitz) say. I heard Six mutter something as she was walking back to her office as Doc examined the recruits that were involved. I slowly start walking, but Capitao stops me just before I walk in, "What is it, Capitao?" "Come with me, I want to talk with you privately." I sigh at this and follow him to his dorm. He was one of the only people I trust, since he is practically my father in the base. After we got into his dorm I sat onto the couch and waited for him, which he locked the door like he always did, then sat down on the couch, "Tiana, how is Viktor treating you? Has he tried assaulting you? Taking advantage of you? Anything?" I stayed silent, not really wanting to answer. "If he has even thought of doing that, most of the male operators and I will go over to him and beat him up, worse than he did to Lion or the recruits." This made me jump, "WAIT NO- I mean, no, he hasn't done a thing to me, besides protect me from Lion and possibly the recruits. I don't know what goes through their minds." "Hm, do you love him?" This made me stop, and I just sit there trying to find the words that wouldn't make me look like an idiot, or give a hint that Viktor and I are a thing, "W-well," I sigh, finding nothing, "yeah." He seemed to give off a smirk, the kind of smirk that some fathers do to their kids when they find out that their kid has a crush on another kid, "Alright then, lover girl, I'll let you go." "Don't tell anyone, please don't tell anyone, not even him or Six." He nods, and gets up to unlock the door, "Your secret's safe with me. Now go, you must be starving." As if on cue, my stomach growled in hunger, and both of us laughed for a bit, then walked out to the cafeteria to find him.
(Viktor POV)
I sat in the corner alone and away from the others, quietly eating my breakfast, which consisted of blini, bacon, sausage and eggs. I felt many eyes if not all of them laying on me, probably pondering about what happened between Tiana, the recruits and I, or looking at my mask, being able to turn food into gas and entering my body, filling me full. Then, I saw Tiana walk into the cafeteria to get some food along with another, much older Brazilian man, sharing a laugh with him as they parted ways, Tiana walking to the girl's tables while the other walked to a male's table. I stayed how I was, continuing to eat as I see Tiana along with a rather muscular american women walk up to me. "If you have complaints, you must wait till my breakfast is over with, alright?" Neither of them said anything, but Tiana grabbed my tray and the other picked up the chair with me in it with ease, bringing me to their table. I saw some of the male's eyes stare into my very soul as I was carried from my corner to the female's table. I was slammed down onto the floor with a loud slam, hearing a scream or two from the girls while some of the guys chuckle. "Can I have my meal?" Tiana reluctantly gives my tray back and I start eating again, being silent as the food enters as a gas. "So, Viktor, what are you going to do after breakfast?" Tiana asked me. I simply kept my mouth shut, and with a sigh, Tiana pulls out her knife and got right behind me, putting it's cold blade right to my neck. "Do it, I wonder if you will end me here, since I am, after all, in your grasp," I say as I press my neck onto the blade, drawing a little blood from it, "Come on, do it. After all, you already know about my little situation between me and the country of Germany." I could see her eyes widen, either in fear or in shock that I'm encouraging my death, knowing that I will come back, as long with the other girls and Alexsandr. Many of the other operators stood up but couldn't move any closer. She shakes and drops the knife as she starts running off, now the others can start moving again, some now a bit mad. I sigh, "Fine I'll go check on her," I stand up with my tray only to be pushed down onto a table by the other Brazilian and held there, "The hell is this about!?" "It's only day one and you are already pushing your luck with death!" I tried to break free, only to be held down by a Scot and Alexsandr. I keep struggling and eventually slip out of there grips and make a mad dash for the door, bashing through the doors and fading off quickly to the roof of Hereford. Once getting to the roof I go to a complete stop at the ledge of the roof, looking out into the heavy rain, looking into the woods. I wish Paz was here, she seemed to always cheer me up, even during my lowest of lows. Sadly, I wasn't able to bring large bears to England from where I lived, so I sat down and cried a bit to myself, cursing myself for having to bare a curse that broke my life cycle and kept bringing me back. I glanced around and saw no one so I unsheathed my knife and carved a little broken heart into my left forearm. Sure, it hurt like hell, but it was the closest I was going to feel to home during my time here. After carving it down I covered it with my sleeve and sat there, speaking to myself out loud, "Why the hell am I still here? I should be dead, not here stuck in an endless cycle."
(Tiana POV)
I saw and heard everything from behind a ventilation unit. I started to piece together that all of his scars must be from himself, hurting himself more than anything. I had my makeup dripping off my face from the rain, as I slowly tried to approach him, only to see him stand up and look over the ledge. Before I could even say the word understand, he walked off of the ledge and fell to the front with a painful sounding crunch. I screamed in horror as I quickly ran off of the roof and ran to where he landed and I could tell he died on impact, from the pool of blood and the crunch I heard. I started to cry heavily as I ran inside and screamed for anyone to hear me. I saw multiple operators and recruits jump and start running to me, who is practically bawling my eyes out now. When they asked if I was alright or what happened I shakily told them to follow me and lead them outside to see Viktor, laying face down dead in his own pool of blood. I saw some extremely shocked as Doc and Took ran off to Six's office to tell her what happened. I slowly walked over to Viktor and flipped his body over, seeing some of his ribs poking out of his body, but not shredding through the coat. Six comes out from the base and immediately spots Viktor, and was rather horrified. Doc sighed and got a body bag before putting Viktor in the bag, then took it to his office. Six sighed, "I have no clue what to do now, should we do a funeral for him or no?" None of the operators knew what to do either, so they either shrugged or stayed silent. That's when I heard those magical words from a panting Doctor that was running with his gear on, "S-Six! You won't believe what just happened!" "Doctor, this better be amazing, like you have found the leader's whereabout amazing." "Viktor's alive and breathing!" Everyone seemed to not believe him and immediately rushed over to his office, to see his ribs not ripping out of his chest and him sitting up, rolling his arms from stiffening, "Damn that feeling never gets old."
