GhostSoap who gets trapped in a collapsing building after a bomb goes off.

Their hands were sticky red with blood and gritty with concrete dust. Creaking rebar and prayers Ghost were pretending he couldn’t hear filled the air occasionally.

Otherwise it was a silent doom. Ghost had stopped trying to get his broken comm working hours ago, and he couldn’t move without risking anymore building giving way from above.

Ghost didn’t know what to do besides conserve air and maybe wait for a rescue. But it was impossible for him to sit there, useless, while he listened to Soap’s muttered prayers again.

“What do you call a traveler that never gets angry?” The words were out of his mouth, filling the silence between the two like a blanket.

A beat went by with no response, and then a scratchy, “I don’t know, Sir. What?”

Ghost could barely see Soap even ten feet away from him, so he scooted closer. “A nomad.”

Soap snorted quietly, and a wide grin spread across Ghost’s face in response. Even in situations like this, lives hanging in the balance between two concrete beams, the very hint of Soap’s laugh could wring a smile from Ghost.

“Do you want another?” Ghost asked, moving a bit closer to Johnny again. He hoped the distraction would be good, but he would use up more of their oxygen while they waited for help that probably wasn’t coming.
