A/N

I've been writing fanfiction for a while now, although I never got any off my computer and online. So here goes. Please review. I have a few more chapters written, just not typed up. If people like it, I'll continue.

Eagle slammed his foot down on the brake, bringing the car to a screeching halt. Wolf, Snake, and Badger all turned to glare at him.

"Next time," Badger said, "I'm driving."

Wolf, now slightly pale, nodded. "Agreed."

"I'm not that bad!" Eagle protested.

Snake raised an eyebrow. "The light's green." He pointed out, then winced as the car gave a jolt and sputtered before racing forward.

A block later Eagle hit the brakes again, pulling over to the side of the road and staring at a building.

"Did you forget the way there?" Wolf asked him, and sighed when he got no response. "Eagle-"

"Isn't that Cub?" Wolf stared at him, mouth still slightly open from what he had been about to say. He had not been expecting Eagle to say that, As the sentence registered, he whipped his head around to stare at the building Eagle was watching: the Royal and General Bank. He stared at the slight, fair-haired boy for a moment before jerking his head back around to see Snake's look of shock and Badger's incomprehension. Eagle just looked excited.

"I mean," Eagle continued, "what are the chances?"

Wolf was now getting annoyed. "So what?" He snapped. "So it's Cub. Big deal! It's not like he only existed at Brecon Beacons."

Badger was now most definitely confused. Cub? A codename for a kid? A kid at the Beacons?

Eagle sighed before pulling back out onto the road, but not before Wolf had glanced back. A second later, he wished he hadn't. Cub was looking right at them, a surprised look on his face.

As they shifted back into traffic, Badger asked the inevitable question.

"Who's Cub?"

An hour later K-unit was sitting around at the flat and Badger was completely astonished. He was struggling to take it all in, and if it wasn't for the fact that his unit had been so surprised to see the kid, he would have thought they were pulling his leg.

"You trained with a kid." It was more of a statement than a question. Wolf answered anyway.

"Yes."

"At Brecon Beacons."

"Yes!" Wolf was getting snappish again, but Badger had a smirk creeping up on his face

"And you didn't kill him?" The amusement was now evident in his voice, and the rest of the unit, excluding Wolf, started laughing. Wolf just glowered.

"Why didn't we go say hi?" Eagle asked, "It's not like we had anything better to do."

"Because that would imply that we wanted to see the him again, not that we just happened to see him outside a bank."

Badger started laughing. "Was he really that bad?"

Snake answered before Wolf could. "Actually, he was damn good. Kept up, put up with us, never complained. He even swiped matched from the Sergeant on a survival run."

"Course, it was his fault we were on the run in the first place." Eagle put in, but he was grinning. Nobody noticed that Wolf wasn't looking at the others, but studying the floor with a look of shame on his face.

Badger stared at him disbelievingly. This was harder to believe than anything else he'd heard. "He pulled one over on Sarge?" At Eagle's nod, he let out a low whistle. "Well, damn." Then something else Snake had said registered. "Hang on... he put up with you?"

"He was a kid stuck with our unit for who knew how long. We... well, weren't very nice." Snake replied, a little shame-faced.

"They mostly just ignored him." Wolf bit out. "But I was an arse."

His tone told Badger to drop the subject. Wisely, he complied. But he was also surprised at what he'd heard from Wolf. That was probably the closest he'd ever heard him come to saying that he was wrong.

It was a week later when they were once again all heading over to Snake's flat. Eagle was driving (against everyone's better judgement) and he pulled over again, in the same spot.

"Eagle..." Wolf started to growl, before he noticed the absolutely dumbstruck expression on the man's face and turned, resigned, to look at the door of the bank.

He had expected Eagle to be staring at Cub again. He wasn't. It took a moment to convince himself he was really seeing what he thought he was seeing, then Snake started laughing, shaking his head.

"There is no bloody way."

Walking out of the doors of the Royal and General Bank was Fox.

Wolf hesitated for only a second. "Eagle, park the car."

Eagle pulled a U-turn instead, and pulled up beside the young man with short-cropped brown hair who reached the sidewalk at he same time. He looked up and stopped dead when Eagle rolled down the window and said cheerfully, "Need a ride?"

"Eagle?" He looked in the passenger seat. "Wolf?"

Snake rolled down the back window. "Me too. Hey, Fox. How've you been?"

Fox grinned. "Not too bad. How about you guys?"

"Stunned by coincidence," Eagle replied dryly. "Last week we saw Cub here. You two have the same bank!"

Fox appeared to be surprised by this, but he was smirking inside. "What? You caught up with Cub, too? How is he?"

Eagle looked awkward and Wolf looked grumpy. Snake didn't say anything. Badger looked at the others, and then back at Fox.

"What they're not telling you is that they were too chicken to actually stop and say hi. He held out a hand. "I'm Badger."

The other man reached over Snake to grasp his hand and shake it. "Fox. You're my replacement, then?"

Badger searched the man's words but found no hint of bitterness in his tone over being binned and replaced by some other man. He decided he liked Fox.

Fox glanced behind them. "You're slowing down traffic."

It was true. They were blocking one of the lanes. Fox sighed. "Well, I should get going."

"Want a lift?" Eagle offered. Fox laughed and pulled open the door, gesturing for Eagle to get into the back. "Not if you're driving." Eagle put on a mock offended look while the other men laughed. Fox pulled smoothly out onto the road, and after a minute Badger patted Eagle on the back, saying in a mock consoling voice, "Sorry, Eagle, he's got a point."

Fox parked in front of a nice restaurant and grinned at the others. "I've got a prior arrangement for tonight, but it was nice seeing you guys.

Snake eyed the building. "Prior arrangements, huh? Lucky girl."

He smirked as Fox raised an eyebrow at him. "You haven't met her. Lucky me. He got out and waved. Eagle made to get up, but Snake pushed him back down firmly. "No, you are not driving." Snake got into the driver's seat, and Fox laughed as he walked away.
