Jay was a good leader, and Jared had no problem being his number two. His helmet was off, which was scary, but necessary. Knowing his magic could tire him, he used it only when needed or when ordered. He had no idea if there would be emergencies.
Jared aimed, taking out enemy soldiers. Jay was getting into it and was using the armor suit to it's full potential. At his orders Jared unleashed a column of air through their ranks. Soldiers fell like bowling pins, and Jared grinned slightly at it. SWAT had prepared him for this type of thing. He moved quickly but purposefully, providing cover fire for his team as much as taking out the enemy.
He was getting warm though. The suit kept him cool as much as possible, but unlike his brothers-in-arms, he was exposed to the elements. Jared sometimes coughed a bit at the smoke and other debris in the air. It wasn’t bad enough that he wanted to spend the time figuring out a spell to filter the air, and besides his magic needed to be saved for other reasons.
A grenade flew towards them and Jared, with enhanced senses reacted quickly. Using the same air spell, Jared diverted the grenade into a group of enemies. Caught by complete surprise, the group fell as the grenade went off.
Jared’s team was acclimating well. At the very least they were taking this all into stride. Not only was the entire situation chaotic, but they had someone in their midst who could move shit with his mind and throw balls of fire. Even if they believed, it wasn’t something that was seen everyday.
His team took cover behind a destroyed vehicle and fired, taking out more of the Loyalists. The battle was moving in their favor. A comm came into Jared’s ears. Jay needed him and it sounded fairly urgent. Jared turned to one of his men.
”Where is Legionnaire Carpenter?”
The soldier hesistated for a moment as he checked his HUD before pointing in the direction. ”We’re heading there, lead the way.”
Jared ordered.
Jared’s team made their way in that direction, picking off more soldiers as they did. Enemy fire was diminishing and at this point, was barely slowing them down. Jared was covered in sweat, his hair matted to his face. Before too long, Jared saw Jay over the body of a blonde woman. She looked familiar to him, but Jared didn’t pay too much attention.
Jared could see the look in Jay’s eyes. The look that said that he cared for her. Jared continued forward as the four other Legionnaires fanned out to the cover the trio. Jared knelt down besides Jay and took inventory of the woman’s injuries.
The woman had mostly small cuts, but they were deep and bleeding. A larger gash was on the back of her head. Jared could see the rising and falling of her chest that indicated she was still alive and breathing. A quick check of her jugular vein indicated she still had a pulse.
”Still alive,”
Jared said more for Jay’s comfort than his.
The question remained unasked. Jared knew exactly what Jay’s answer would be. Jared summoned his magic and began his healing spell. Cuts began to close and disappear, not even leaving a scar.
As Jared finished, he was breathing hard. The woman was stabilized and should be fine, but he was spent. He had very little in him. ”That’s all I have for now,”
he said.
A Legionnaire handed him a canteen and Jared passed it to Jay, indicating it was for the woman. He used his own to take a deep drink. Jared wasn’t sure how much more he could do.
