RAINBOW SIX: Reckoning

The gym wasn't currently occupied with too many individuals, and those few bodies in there with her were just as concentrated in their routine as she was. Alejandra was breathing hard, beads of sweat making her skin glisten. Classic rock filled her ears, those sounds accompanied by the steady thud thud thud of her feet making contact with the textured surface. She usually attempted to run in beat to the music, although such pace couldn't be reached in this instance. Instead, she increased the speed to the fastest setting she had been using in order to go on her sprint for another full minute. More often than not, Alejandra performed her interval training indoors while saving the outdoor trails for a nice, long jog.

A minute passed, and Alejandra slowed the machine down to nearly a halt. She took rather slow steps, her reflection on the mirror in front of her proof that she had reached peak performance. She grabbed the towel draped on the handle beside her and dabbed her face. Alejandra also grabbed her water bottle, intending to get some fresh air. Turning off the machine with one hand, Alejandra got off of it and made her way outside, once there welcoming the light breeze through her hair. It was a nice day outside, and she debated whether she should go for that jog or head back to the barracks. But the latter sounded too good to pass up. Alejandra settled on taking a short walk around the complex instead of walking right across to her quarters. On her walk she acknowledged a man on a bench, quickly waving at him as a polite gesture, but not necessarily stopping to have a conversation. Alejandra still had her headphones on, for one, and she wasn't in a hurry to get acquainted with anyone just yet. She hadn't been on location long enough and there was plenty of time to intimately get to know her teammates down the road.

She continued on her stroll when her phone rang, interrupting the current song on her playlist.

"Buenos días, mamá."

Alejandra was glad her mother had called. It'd been a while since they'd last talked. Not that their conversation would be all that different from the other ones. Her mother, Alicia, would ask her a series of questions about her wellbeing. That was the joy of being an only child; having overprotective parents looking over you a little more carefully than normal. Once Alejandra had given her enough satisfactory responses, the conversation then shifted to her mother's ramblings surrounding her political affairs. According to previous conversations, her professional life was anything but boring. One could make a TV show out of it and be entertained for days without changing the channel.

"¿Y esos tiros?"

Her mother was alarmed. Alejandra had to tell her someone was in the range and she wasn't being gunned down. There was no reassuring the woman, not until Alejandra was back home safe and sound, and it'd be a while before that happened. The two women spoke for a little while longer before hanging up, but not without another reminder about Alejandra's father's upcoming birthday. She hadn't forgotten, but maybe she would purchase a gift online after eating a snack and taking a shower in order to get that out of the way.

Post should be up tomorrow. I'm too tired tonight and tomorrow is my birthday but it's not like I can have a party so Alex will be hitting up the gym!

Post a random fact about yourself.

<Snipped quote by Xandrya>

Ouchie. I guess there's no "work at home" option for you?

On that topic though, I'm an introvert and have been working at home for six years now, so being quarantined isn't effecting me as badly as I imagined.

@Hellion

Unfortunately no. I'm going through the academy but believe me, I could take a break from the 5 am alarms and daily beatdowns. But good for you for having that option. I've always been curious as to what it's like to work in my PJs.

I still have to show up to work until the state officially shuts down.

@HaleyTheRandom

I've already looked at pricing for the floor ;)

Post a random fact about yourself.

If I move in with my boyfriend, I'm gonna use one of his 5 bedrooms as a black room. I'll paint all the walls and ceiling black, get black floors, black curtains and window shades, black furniture etc. For lighting, I'll use purple lights. I saw a similar design model in Ikea and I fell in love with it. It had a bachelor pad feel to it, but I'd use it as my own private space. Play whatever music I want, drink, practice belly-dancing, and whatever else I feel like doing. No one would be allowed in without my permission. If I'm having a bad day, I'd just go into the room and kick sobriety to the curb all while not knowing whether it's day or nighttime outside.

That's roughly what I have in mind anyway.

BIO: Alejandra was born and raised in Seville, Spain to politician parents. From a young age, the girl was used to being in the spotlight to a certain extent, although she didn't necessarily enjoy the experience. More often than not, she'd shy away from cameras and would only be in pictures whenever her parents would pressure her until she would give in. Despite the long family tradition of holding office in one form or another, Alejandra was never fully convinced it was the right decision for her. Instead, she sought to serve the public in a more humble manner.

Throughout her teenage years, Alejandra grew interested in a law enforcement career. She took a basic course and it was then she realized she could easily see herself doing police work. After completing her education, Alejandra went ahead and submitted her paperwork. Her parents weren't all that happy with her decision, but she advised them that it wasn't her intention to please them with the decisions she made in life. Some time passed and Alejandra received a phone call telling her she was moving forward through the selection process. She made sure she did everything right every step along the way to avoid being knocked out by the competition, and in the end, it paid off. Alejandra would go on to the training phase where after long months of work, she graduated top of her class.

After a couple of years doing basic police work, Alejandra went on to become a negotiator. She'd been given the green light by her supervisor and she went through additional training. During that phase, she attended various medical courses. The mindset was that the negotiator on scene could tend to injured individuals if the medics couldn't get to them. Alejandra did very well in her classes, and once she finished her training, she joined the elite unit. The young woman was welcomed with open arms and right away embraced her new position.

Alejandra was on call on one of her nights off. She was reading a book when her cell phone rang, and she picked it up to receive the news of a suicidal adolescent standing on one of the ledges in his apartment building. She immediately got dressed and rushed to the scene, arriving to find a crowd complete with various media networks. Alejandra rushed under the tape and asked her uniform counterparts the fastest way to reach the boy before hurrying upstairs. That night, Alejandra's life would forever change. The boy, whose name was Máximo, jumped to his death after interacting with her for only a few minutes. The aftermath of the incident was disastrous for Alejandra. She received death threats, was harassed by some people in public blaming her for the boy's death, and even her parents received some nasty letters addressed to their office.

Given the problem wasn't going away, the first day back at work since the incident Alejandra was advised she could put in for a transfer to whichever location she desired. But Alejandra only went into work that morning to resign. She was completing some paperwork that morning and that afternoon, she enlisted in the army. Alejandra's parents, once again, pleaded with her to not go through with her decision, but the woman wouldn't budge. Given her experience, her recruitment process went smoothly. They only questioned her previous resignation, asking why she was running away. Alejandra let them know she wasn't running away, but she would not be in a position where her parents could possibly suffer because of her actions.

Once she joined, Alejandra made her choice to become an intelligence officer. She received intensive field training, not only working with her peers but learning how to lead them as well. To add to the hands-on training, Alejandra was taught how to be proficient with a computer, going well above the skillset of an average person. There were a lot of stressful nights for Alejandra, but she persevered through her hardships, managing to grab the attention of a few high ranking officers. She was a natural on the field, appearing level-headed where others possibly wouldn't do as well. Eventually, upon her graduation, Alejandra was given her first assignment. She did some work in Kosovo for a few months before returning back to Spain. A year or so later she was out again, this time serving in Africa for additional classified work. During her time there, she was presented with an invitation to join Rainbow and given her desire to continuing bettering herself, she accepted the position.

This forced "Staycation" from Coronaphobia we are enduring has given me more time for role playing.

@Gunther

Let me know if an RP is born out of boredom. It's been a while and even though I still have to go to training, all the bars and restaurants are shut down so I'll be a homebody when I'm not at work.

Post a random fact about yourself.

The other day I had a fight my mother and went to bed angry. The next morning I was driving to work as usual and as I was reaching the lot, I broke down crying. I couldn't help but think how I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I never saw her again so I called her and asked a question I already knew the answer to just to break the ice. Later that day everything was back to normal.
