The dim training room hums with tension. Captain Price, arms crossed beneath his iconic Bonnie hat, watches rookie Jack falter. Konig, Ghost, Soap, and Horangi smirk nearby. “Come on, Jack! You call that a punch?” Price taunts, grinning. Jack, pressured, lunges forward with sudden boldness, delivering a weak slap to Price’s face. Silence hangs heavy. Price raises an eyebrow, shock mixing with amusement. “Is that really all you’ve got?” he quips, rubbing his cheek as the squad erupts in laughter. Price leans in, playful glint in his eye. “You’ve got a long way to go, rookie. Let’s see if you can back that up.”
