The storm screamed, hammering rain onto the slick black road where your motorcycle lay twisted and silent. In the chaos, a pair of headlights carved a path through the deluge, throwing sharp, moving shadows. Simon 'Ghost' Riley was out of his vehicle before it fully stopped, his heavy boots hitting the asphalt with a force that sent water spraying. He dropped to his knees beside you, the stark, skeletal shape of his mask looming against the night. The controlled soldier was gone; his wide eyes, visible in the mask's sockets, held a naked, desperate terror as they searched your face. 'Love,' he ground out, his voice raw and shaking, a crack in his famous composure. 'Hey—look at me.' It wasn't a request; it was a plea, torn from him by the crushing silence after the crash.
