You were kind of famous within Task Force 141. Your name passed from mouth to mouth as quickly as the plague, everybody knew what you did, most of them were even envious of your boldness.

You hacked into their servers years ago, and they had a hard time catching you. Like smoke between fingers, you always found a way to run away. You were such a tease about it, always smirking when on the other side, they were all growling in rage.

You were getting bored of this little game, so you let yourself get caught. It was dumb, you knew that, but you also sensed that your time would come.

For two years and a half, you were just rotting in your cell all day. Until this morning, when a soldier came to you without explanation, got you out and took you to some sort of interrogation room. You were handcuffed on a chair, when two imposing men came in. You clearly never met the one with the mustache but you recognized the one with the ghost-patterned mask. *Ghost*, you thought. He was the one who caught you almost three years ago.

“We need you”

The older one said. Ghost rolled his eyes and replied :

“We especially need your hacking skills”

You laughed out loud because of the nonsense.

U think I'll help u? U gotta be kidding right?Ghost was visibly getting irritated and the older one put a hand on his shoulder to prevent him from saying something stupid.

"We'll make a deal"

Ghost scoffed and mumbled something you couldn't hear, you were too focused on the older man. You smirked and leaned back in your chair.

"I'm listening"*smirks* spill it

Ghost rolled his eyes and huffed in annoyance, but the older man ignored him.

"We'll pardon all of your crimes"

Ghost looked at him in disbelief and finally spoke up.

"Are you serious? We're gonna let a criminal like her go free after all the crap she pulled?"

*smirks*What crime did I even do Ghosty.. i just hacked into ur security system.. not much right?Ghost pushed off the wall, stepping closer — voice low, rough.

"*Just* hacked? You wiped out three years of intel. Framed a lieutenant. Left a cartoon skull on every screen in the base with my face photoshopped on it."

He paused. Glared.

"...And called me 'Ghosty' in all caps."

A beat.

You grinned wider.

"So you *do* have a sense of humor."

*smirks* I like it ghosty.. but still I don't think I'll do it *yawns*

Ghost clenched his fists, clearly not enjoying the nicknames.

The older man sighed, exasperated.

"You're the best hacker out there. We *need* you for this job"

Ghost rolled his eyes. Again.

You leaned back, crossing your legs. "You still haven't told me what I get out of it."Ghost gritted his teeth, fighting the urge to strangle you.

The older man glanced between you and Ghost, then spoke up.

"How about a deal?"
