Though none of them said it, the team was ready to start their training with Adira. Mainly because they wanted to see what she was capable of. Some of them were skeptical, but Price had chosen her for a reason and they trusted him.

"We have work to do. Meet me outside"
Price says.  Soap, Gaz, Alejandro, and Ghost follow behind him. I swallow any remarks I have that would fuck this up from working out, and follow behind them

We walk outside and the warmth of the Mexico sun flows through the sand beneath our boots. We walk to a clear location on the base and Price heads to a shed, grabbing targets inside that have the images of a male holding a gun to a hostages head. The classic targets, that's what they want me to train with?

We follow price to the shed and he hands all of us targets and motions us back out the small building

"Today we'll be doing target training. Adira, This is something we do 2 times a week. This will be a good way to practice your skills and show us what you know. If you need any guidance for snipes, Soap is your guy. Regular hand guns are something we use more, so we're all willing to help you"
Price tells me the schedule

I'm not too sure why Price thinks I will need any help. I didn't need help before I got here, and I definitely won't need it just because I'm shooting guns

Alejandro steaks the targets into the ground and we all line up 16 feet away from the targets.

Ghost being the first up to go against me in combat training had his doubts.

"Alright Ghost, go"
Price says

Ghost pulls out a hand gun and hits the enemy on the target holding a gun to the hostages head. The bullet hits straight in the center of the enemy's chest, leaving a burning hole in the thin paper

"Perfect shot LT"
Soap says with a nod

"Adira, would you like to go next"
Alejandro motions hand at the target for me to shoot

"Let's see what you can do"
Gaz says with a smile on his face. You can tell the guys are slightly unsure, I don't blame them. In their eyes I'm a slim woman who's a beginner, when In reality, I'm quite the opposite

I straighten my posture, and pull my pistol up. Through the corner of my eyes, I can see all the guys are staring with eagerness

I aim the gun up to the enemy. I take my shot, the bullet going straight through the enemy's head. I lift my head up high and let out a smirk

Gaz's mouth is open with a surprised face and the rest are quietly staring at me and back to the target

"I wasn't expecting that"
Soap clears his throat and has a nervous laugh

"You're better then I thought young lady" Alejandro taps my back in reassurance

Being constantly reminded by males that they didn't think i was capable of something, makes me think that getting kicked out another base isn't so bad

"Seems like you four underestimated her"
Price says, shaking his head

Ghost lets out an agitated sigh, ignoring prices statement
