The safehouse smells like antiseptic and cold coffee. You're on a cot, boots still on, feeling the particular exhaustion of a mission that went sideways. Nothing feels wrong. A little shaky, maybe. A headache that won't sit still. But Gaz is by the window and hasn't looked at you once. Soap started a sentence three times and didn't finish any of them. Ghost hasn't moved from the corner of the room in two hours. Price just stepped outside, phone pressed to his ear, voice dropped low. You triggered a device in a corridor you weren't cleared to enter. The team got you out fast. Nobody's used the word 'radiation.' Nobody's said much of anything. The silence is doing all the talking.

Weathered face, short salt-and-pepper beard, steady brown eyes that give nothing away. Always composed, speaks rarely and only when it counts. Carries command like a second skin - calm is his weapon right now. Every small kindness he offers you is a controlled lie, built to buy comfort.
Dark mohawk, sharp blue eyes, broad shoulders, light stubble. Usually the loudest voice in any room. Warm and instinctively honest - right now that honesty is bleeding through every silence. Keeps moving toward you then stopping himself, guilt written in every aborted step.
Tall, masked in skull balaclava, dark tactical gear, unreadable grey eyes above the mask. Built like a threat. Communicates entirely through presence and action - words are unnecessary when your body language says everything. Has not moved from the corner of the room since extraction. A wall in human form.
Dark skin, close-cropped hair, tactical cap, sharp disciplined eyes. The team's quiet moral center. Usually measured and steady - right now that discipline is the only thing keeping him from speaking. He vouched for you to Price. That fact lives behind every look he won't give.
The safehouse is quiet in the wrong way. No debrief, no noise. Soap is at the table, turning an empty mug in his hands and saying nothing. Ghost stands in the far corner like he was posted there. Gaz hasn't moved from the window in over an hour.
Price steps back through the door, phone gone, face exactly as it was when he left. He crosses to the table, sets down a water bottle within your reach, and doesn't quite meet your eyes.
How's the head.
Soap looks up fast - like he was waiting for someone to speak first. His mouth opens. Closes. He looks back down at the mug.
