Summary
Bob’s eyes snapped back open with a start.
Memories came crashing back, assaulting his already pounding brain—the briefing, the helicopter, the mission. Phoenix. Her voice clear in his headset and then suddenly cutting off. The radio malfunction. He remembered tapping the side of his comms in a panic, trying to reestablish the link. They were flying blind. Then the sudden tilt. The sky spinning. Alarms blaring.
He’d blacked out.
They’d crashed.
He had to find Phoenix.
***
Or, the Daggers were only supposed to be a team for one mission. When they're unexpectedly made into an official squadron, Bob learns what it's like to finally feel like he's home.

Summary
“Are you happy with yourself?” Nat asked Rooster. “You’ve made him into a circus attraction.”
“Kinda,” Rooster laughed, crossing his arms. “It's his fault for falling asleep out here. Hey, who's got a sharpie?”
“Okay–” Nat huffed, setting her hands on her hips.
“I'm kidding, I'm kidding!”
“Floyd!” Nat said, her voice loud and assertive, and Bob jerked awake immediately, knocking his book off of his lap.
“Huh?” he breathed, lifting his head off of the back of the armchair. Fanboy snatched Bob's wallet back from Harvard, tucking it under his leg hastily. Halo took a step back from where she was leaned over peering at his book, but she knocked her shin into the coffee table and swore. Rooster clasped his hands behind his back and tucked the twenties into his pocket, making his best attempt at a poker face, but he knew he was failing miserably. And Hangman, thank fuck, finally muted his stupid phone and looked up in earnest.
“That woke him up,” Payback said under his breath
“That'd wake any of us up,” Fanboy replied, nervously glancing at Nat. “Was she a drill sergeant in a past life?”
***
Or, five times the daggers wake Bob up, and one time they can't get him to sleep.

Summary
“What about you, Bob?” Phoenix asked when she noticed her WSO wasn’t joining in. She knew Bob was a little shyer than the rest of the group, so she’d started being more intentional about bringing him into conversations. “When was the last time someone picked you up?”
“I’m not sure,” Bob said. “I can’t remember, but I would have been five I guess.”
“Why five specifically?” Fritz asked.
“That’s when my parents died,” Bob said. “My grandparents raised me after that, and they were too old to do stuff like that.”
Five times the Daggers picked Bob up, plus the one time he carried them.

Summary
"You've been arrested?!" Phoenix shouts. Even she didn't know this about her own WSO. Jake's mouth went dry.
Bob nods, opening his mouth to reply when Javy cuts him off. "Did you forget to turn in your library books, Bobby?"
The group erupts into giggles. Bob stares straight at Javy, mouth a straight line. "I punched a cop when I was 16."

“I’ve always been a wallflower” he chuckled weakly, flush burning at his checks as he glared at his feet lips pursed, “I didn’t think anyone noticed me”. The gentle nudge on his jaw urges him to look up, following its inference he found himself staring into gentle blue eyes, “I did” Tom mused.
