SL - Chpt5 Awkward Sniper

Awkward Sniper

The Red Medic, Deryk opened the double doors leading into his medi-bay. The new Sniper had spent the night on one of the cots in the back and the medic had decided to wake him up if nothing else but to make sure to get some food into him.

The German's black boots echoed in the room as he made his way through his medical domain. The doctor smiled slightly as he approached on noticing that the young man's booted feet dangled off the ends.

Cameron was stretched out on the cot still fully clothed face down into the pillow his short ponytail behind his head half hanging down his right shoulder into his peaceful face, his arms were flopped out in front of himself, hanging off the cot front, like his feet at the other end. Deryk bent over him a hand out stretched to wake him with a genital shake but the doctor didn't get to.

Cameron tensed all over and woke with a start, flipping himself over so he could see his attacker, He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized he wasn't back at his old Orphanage. The person standing over him was not who he had thought.

"Bloody oath there fella, ya gave me a damn fright" Cameron slurred in his native aboriginal accent which mixed in with his normal aussie slang.

"Zat vas not miene intent herr Brunby" Deryk stated as he straightened up again, pushing his glasses back up his long hooked nose from where they had slipped.

Reaching out with a hand to help the lanky man out of the low cot Deryk watched Cameron with inquisitive steal grey eyes. The new Sniper eyed the hand in front of his face with slight suspicion, before using is as leverage to get out off his low makeshift bed.

"you do not trust people, ja?" Deryk stated as the Sniper was pulled to his feet.

"not if I can 'elp it fella"

"Vell that vill have to change, ve are a tight nit team here." The Doctor stated. A rumble issued from Cameron's stomach and Deryk's smile returned.

"Anyvay right now, you must eat I unserstant zat you haf not eaten at all since before arrivink ja?" The medic stated as he turned to lead the way the Sniper following silently behind.

Deryk walked briskly and before Cameron knew it the two of them were walking into the mess hall where the only other person inside besides themselves was the teams Heavy.

"Ahh Doktor! Early as alvays!" the big dark brown haired and bearded man behind the kitchens halfway window bellowed in their direction.

He gave a wave and a devilish grin when he spotted the new sniper with Deryk.

"Liitle Sniper here too? I am Heavy weapons guy Egor Leonti. And you are?" Egor roared from the kitchen , causing the Sniper to jump slightly.
Deryk chuckled as he led Cameron closer to the kitchen.

"I'm Cameron Brunby. nice meetin' ya Egor, even if ya are big en loud and bloody intimidatin'." This received a roar of laughter from the Chef.

"You jumpy, but I give you credit… for having da balls to say that to Egor face." Egor chuckled, as he sliced through a leg of ham in one fluid chop causing the Sniper to gulp and widen his eyes.

"Do not tease him mine Heavy, zat is just cruel" snorted the Doctor, who was smiling regardless of the fact that he had just told the heavy to stop.

"Can not help, Rookies fun to tease" chuckled Egor.

"Less talk more food mine Heavy, za boy is hungry unt neets his breakfast." Deryk  stated.

The two choose their meal from the bay marie Egor filled while they watched and sat down soon after at the table closest to the kitchen so the doctor could continue to converse with Egor while Cameron, having realized how hungry he was, gulped down his breakfast.

"Yo! Mornin Doc... Heavy my man, what's on that menu this morning" called Brian as he wondered in. Jarrod following with a groan.

"Damn Amigo, how can you be so full of energy before eating" Snapped the Pyro who was not a morning person.

"Hey isn't my fault you stay up half the night doing hell knows what"

"I do not do hell knows what mochacho. I drink, I smoke, I trip out, wonder around a bit until I fall into my bed."

"Or someone else's bed herr Dangerfilt" Huffed the Doctor, his statement receiving chuckles from his colleagues.

The rest of the team had trickled in while the Pyro and Scout were bickering.

"Aww don't start senor Deryk I did not mean to"  The Pyro whined over his shoulder while he poured himself a glass of pineapple juice.

The Scout turned around and moved to sit beside the Doctor.
"Hey, Cameron right? I'm Brian Lewis teams scout and natural born killin machine" Brian grinned while he held out his hand over the table for Cameron to shake, while Deryk scoffed at the 'killing machine remark'.

"I guess everyone knows me name, while I'm left high and dry with only a few of you buggers having introduced ya-selves."

"Hey look Camz, me and Jarhead here will help you out ok" Brian said enthusiastically.

"Look, you know Deryk here, Eric ya met, and there's me and Jarrod right? And Egor is the one in the kitchen. So that's about half of us"

"Don't forget he met Mac yesterday afternoon" Added Jarrod as he slid in next to Cameron.

"Yeah. I couldn't believe Old MacSnipes would do that man, his always lookin' out for the guys out there on the battlefield. His always using up his shots to save half of us guys." Brian stated popping open his glass bottle of milk and taking a long guzzle.

"Si Amigo, my first battle, I was staring down the barrel of a demoman's grenade launcher and Bang. That demo was down, no head left just a bloody mess." He said before taking a swig of his juice and stuffing a large piece of fried spam into his mouth.

"Anyway so you just haven't met the Demo, Boyd that's him over there with his head in his cereal, not much to meet really. And that there, talking to the black board, is our fearless leader Jeff." Jarrod cut in "brainless more like it amigo" he whispered to Cameron .

"And then there's our Spy, Tony. Or really his name is Ant.... Annatow.."

"Spit it out amigo… its Antoine for Christ sake. You've been here longer then me and you still can't twist your tongue around his freaking name. Or is it something else you'd like to twist your tongue around of his?" Jarrod chuckled, as Brian turned red from embarrassment.

"Look Flamer Shut the fuck up man ain't anything like that and you know it asshole. And the name Tony suits him way better" The three of them laughed at the humiliated scout.

"ATTENTION MAGGOTS! We have a big fight ahead of us today" Jeff shouted addressing the team.

"This is an important day men and we will not LOOSE to those blue slabs of meat! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!" Jeff roared and in answer Boyd, Egor, and Brian shouted 'SIR!' if only to pacify the mental Soldier.

"We all know our parts in this PLAN so get cracking" Jeff added as Eric, Antoine and Mac walked into the mess hall. Mac with his head low, his hands in pockets and Akubra already on his head.

"We are LUCKY that the rookie is a ranged class SOO he will have less a chance of SCREWING things up… NOT only does she give us an INFINITE battle today but the Administrator has also DUMPED a rookie on us as well!" Jeff thundered making the pit of Cameron's stomach drop.

"unt zat is za verds of a mat man who has no right to be leadink us anyvhere" snarled Deryk to Cameron quietly before standing up, his uniform making him look talker and leaner then the man probably was.

"Ve know very vell how to do our jobs, just concentrate on not blowink your own fuckink legs off. Zere is no need for zis against our newest… besides he vill be followink orders to help us in zis attack. I 'ave arranget  zat Mac vill direct Cameron"

Cameron jumped up.
"You wanna put me with a bloke that tried ta strangle me yesterday, what sort of doctor are you!" Snapped the Sniper his blue eyes filling with anger.

"vone zat cares for his team… It vill give Mac za time to clear up za mess he has made vith you and for us. Ve are a close nit team. unt it vill stay zat vay!" barked the Medic glaring in Mac's direction as well as causing the Cameron to back down from his argument.

"Aww hell this should be bloody interestin'" Muttered Cameron while Jarrod gave him a pat on the back.

"Hey don't worry about it amigo. He is not going to try strangle you. There is no point now, if you die… you'll just get re-spawned" Chuckled Jarrod.

"I… what!" Cameron yelped but his voice was drowned out by a siren that started up over their heads, the Administrators voice followed the ear-piercing sound. "Twenty minutes to the next battle, report to the re-supply room and await further instructions!"
