Warnings: trapped by rubble, death, explosions, killing a mother in front of their child
Themes: family, motherhood

Memory One You are running towards a door way, a figure there bursts fire into the air, the ground begins to shake and the ceiling gives way. Pain as you are struck, rubble building up around you, burying you.

"General?" The voice is worried over the comms, but broken up, something interfering. "General? You can't do more that manage a small sound of frustration and pain in return.

You hear horrible sounds as the soldiers you led here die around you under the rubble. Your face is unburried, the only reason you are still alive.

"General can you hear me?" Footsteps, a scrambling of hands on rock. "General? Mom?"

"I'm here Cass." You manage.

"Hang tight, we'll get you guys out."

You close your eyes, "They're gone, Cass." You cough, pressure on your chest. "And I'm not going to make it."

"What?" The voice is incredulous. "I'm not leaving you behind!"

"Get your team home. That's an order. Your duty. Mine's to finish the mission..."

You've managed to get hold of the detonator, brought it up to where you can see it.

"Mom, no! We can save you!"

You smile, it's pained. "I love you Cass." You cough again, painful. "Give your dad a kiss from me." You eye the detenator.

"No, mom don't!"

You close your eyes, and press the button.

Memory Two You stare down at the child in your arms. Your child. Yours, fussy, small, premature, clean now, cleaned up by the doctors who have stepped back for now, giving you time with your daughter.

You are exhausted, sore but this child here, too early to the world and yet strong all the same. You smile up at the man next to the bed, he reaches over to take her from your arms. His face doesn't conceal his love for your new daughter and a tear slips from your eye before you can stop it.

Memory Three The fighting is fast and thick, Sonya and her team are fighting, mostly hand to hand though there are gun shots fired. "Come in Shaun. Where the fuck is my hello?" She is talking through a radio, frowning at the answer.

"Kenshi," She calls to a man currently fighting four enemies, "Our rises heading south."

"Copy that." They fight their way towards the rendezvous point.

"There's our bird, I'll cover us."

She spots a woman, aiming at the hellicopter. "RPG at six o'clock." Sonya calls out.

"Can you neutralise?"

"Got her in my sights." She lines up the shot, pauses.

Because it's not just a woman. Next to her is a little girl. No older than ten, watching the scene with frightened eyes.

"Sonya take the shot."

"I..." She takes the shot, tears run down her face.
