Lieutenant Colonel Araina

L.C | 19 |

| Third person |

"Kamusta na kaya sila Araina?" Lutang na saad ni Cole. Kakatapos lang ng rounds nila ni Brazzen sa mga pasyente kaya napagpasyahan nilang magpahinga sa labas ng medicube. May isang mahabang picnic table sa labas nito kaya dun na ang naging tambayan ng medical team "kahapon pa sila ng hapon umalis ha"

Naging saad rin ni Rue tyaka sinubo ang chichiryang hawak hawak niya "hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin sila bumabalik. Magaalas kwatro na ng hapon" nakasimangot na sagot ni Kitty. Sinundan niya ng tingin ang mga naglalakad na Supreme, naiinis siya dahil hanggang ngayin ay hindi pa rin bumabalik ang team Alpha "Siiiirrr!"

Napahinto ang Supreme na napadaan sa harapan nila, tinapunan naman ni Rue ng chichirya mula sa lalagyan nito si Kitty "wow, close kayo?"

"Hindi" nakangiting wika ni Kitty sabay hila sa Supreme na kanyang tinawag "do you need anything?" Mabait na tanong nito, napa 'o' ang labi ni Kitty sabay tingin kay Rue.

"Taray, English speaking. Ahhh anyways, wala naman po. Tatanungin ko lang po sana kung anong oras babalik sila Suprema?"

Nagsitinginan ang mga lutang na sina Cole at Brazzen sa naging tanong ni Kitty sa lalaking Supreme "ang bilis ha, hindi naman halatang may hinihintay" humahagikgik na saad ni Rue.

"Pag dating ng mga Supreme mula Pilipinas"

"Ene? Em sherri, hindi ko ata nasundan, sir?"

Napangiti ang lalaking Supreme sa kakulitan ni Kitty "a new batch of Supreme is on the way, they'll take switches with team Suprema. Then vice versa until the war is over"

"Bakit naman po magswiswitching sher?"

"The plan A was ruined, the enemies were able to detect Suprema and the team. They have to do the switching to buy some time for others"

Napakagat labi naman si Rue nang marinig ang sinabi ng lalaking Supreme "that means they're in danger?" Tipid na napangiti ang Supreme "we're always in danger. In Supremes's life there's no assurance if you still have tomorrow"

"Miss Katana's team is on the way, prepare for their landing over" natigil ang sandaling katahimikan ng lugar nang tumunog ang walkie talkie ng lalaking Supreme "affirmative, call all the troops to gather over"

"Areglado Hawk!"

"Ah, sorry but I need to go. Do you still have questions?"

"Wala na po! Thank you for your time po" tipid itong ngumiti bago tuluyang linisan ang lugar. They stayed silent for a couple of minutes when Kitty shouted, sounded like panicking "nasan naaa?!"

"Ingay mo, sino?" Naiiritang saad ni Rue nang magulat sa naging reaksyon ng kapwa nurse "si sir pogi?"

"Tanga, kanina pa umalis. Lutang lang teh?"

"Anoooo? Hindi mo pinigilan beh?" Tinapunan ulit ni Rue ng chichirya si Kitty dahil sa naging saad nito "may gagawin daw siya pusa, ano bang utak meron ka? Untugin kita dyan eh"

"Pusaaaaa?! I'm not a cat kaya, hindi mo ba alam na–"

"Oh ano? Wala ka nang masabi? Ituloy mo nga, hindi ko alam na— sino bang tinitignan m. ."

Napahinto ang dalawa sa pagsasalita nang makita si Katana. Maladyosa itong naglakad papunta sa kanilang direksyon, sa katanuyan ay isang specialized black suit lamang ang suot nito na pinapakita ang kurba ng kanyang katawan.

Maladugo rin ang kulay ng labi nito at maangas na hawak ang isang mahabang espada "greetings" malawak na ngiting saad ni Katana sa dalawang nurse na kasalukuyang nakanganga

***

"Ayoko na"

"Nasaan ang hustisya?"

"Bakeeet?"

Natatawang palipat lipat ang tingin ni Cole sa dalawang nurse na kasalukuyang tulala at patuloy sa pagsasalita. Mahigit isang oras na din ang nakalipas nang nakaalis si Katana at mga kasamahan nito "huehue"

"What happened to them?"

Kunot noong tanong ni Brazzen nang mapadaan sa tatlo, kakatapos niya lang maglibot sa mga pasyente at tignan ang mga kalagayan nito "star-struck"

Cole said while preventing his self from laughing "what?" napailing iling na lamang si Cole sabay kibit balikat *bang!*

Sabay sabay silang natigilan at kumaripas ng takbo papunta sa pinanggalingan ng putok "anong nangyari?"

"Si Suprema dok, mukhang galit na galit sa mga kapwa niya team Alpha"

Brazzen tilt his head to see what's really happening "WHAT WERE YOU FVCKING THREE THINKING?!" Halatang galit na galit si Araina habang nakatutok ang baril sa kapwa team Alpha "I THOUGHT THAT TEAM ALPHA IS DAMN FVCKING PROFESSIONALS?! WHAT WAS THAT?!"

Hindi maiwasan ni Brazzen na hindi maawa sa sitwasyon ng tatlong team Alpha, nakayuko ang mga ito at nakaluhod sa malamig na lupa "bobo ba kayo?"

"Hindi po Suprema!"

"THEN WHY WEREN'T YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO THE MISSION?! THE HOSTAGES COULD'VE DIED BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPIDITY!"

Nanatiling tahimik ang buong lugar "what? Will you take responsibility if anything had happened to the hostages?" Nagtitimping tanong ni Araina
"YES SUPREMA!" walang pagdadalawang isip na saad ni Baymax

"Oh no you won't"

Nanghahamong saad ni Araina, itinaas ni Baymax ang tingin at itinayo ang sarili mula sa pagkakaluhod "I will" Baymax said without hesitations.

"You won't"

"WHY ARE YOU SELFISH SUPREMA?! AKALA MO BA IKAW LANG ANG MAY KARAPATANG MAGBAYANI-YANIHAN?!"

Those words made Araina stopped from talking, anger started to build up inside her. The fire in her eyes flickered, she gritted her teeth as she took out her dagger "you sh*t"

She's near from stabbing Baymax but the soldier didn't even made an effort to avoid her attack, the dagger was ready to make contact with Baymax's flesh but a hand stopped Araina's from doing it so "that's enough baby" Katana said softly.

Her invisible suit's now ruined. Half of her back is now exposed, her body's full of scratches and even her face– specifically, her lower lip— bleeding. They managed to finished the rest of the mission, it was chaotic, but they survived "you won't"

Naiiyak na saad ni Araina kay Baymax "you know why? Because death will be the price of the responsibility you're willing to take and I will never let that happen"

"Araina, let's go"

"Because before you could even take that responsibility, I will take it willingly. Ah! With SELFISHNESS, just like what you've said. . ."

". . . I will face death just to spare my Team Alpha's lives, that's how selfish I am Baymax" Araina finally said with sadness in her voice, leaving the place with Katana, leaving them all— guilty.
