"what did you send her!?" "Please corporal, now is not the time for such concerns."
David peeked around the corner to see the giant green Octopus thing, as He took a deep breath “well this is bad.” 
Gwen joked “oh now I know we are in trouble.” 
she looked around the corner saying “uhh yea...that is a big alien.” 
David exhaled “well not sure how long we got till the nuke goes off and this place is given an express trip to the hot place...on the other side of the things portal is the maintenance door...I distract it you run like hell Gwen.” 
Gwen pushed him away “like hell I am letting you fight that thing on your own.” 
David grabbed her shoulder's “Gwen...I have already failed enough people today, my brothers in arms, the people we were sent to protect, all of them are dead because I was not good enough to save them, so Gwen...please someone needs to make it out, and it shouldn't be me.” 
Gwen grabbed his hand “like hell, David I have spent that last god knows how long crawling through vents, fighting aliens and CIA with you....so if we are leaving this place we are leaving together! got it.” 
David returned the hand squeeze  “Yes ma’am.” 
Gwen smiled reaching for David's leg she pulled out his sidearm “come on Jarhead...I always wanted to try calamari.” she then give him a quick peck on his the side of his gas mask. 
David looked at her and she winked “you can earn some proper cheek action when we survive this.” 
David checked the rounds on his MP5 as his PCV reported “increased heart rate detected.”
 David Grumbled “quiet you.” 
 Gwen grinned and they charged around the corner.
a few minutes later: 
David sprayed rounds at the creatures center as Gwen manned a nearby Laser gun, the glowing orbe in the  things chest flashed and the creature started to go almost transparent fading back towards the portal as black mesa started to fall apart.
David yelled “Gwen we have to move!” 
David and Gwen sprinted for the exit...then the world went black. 
the world came back into focus and David was sitting on the osprey he came in on flying over the desert, with Gwen next to him, he tried to move but could move anything  but his head, Gwen seemed similarly stuck.  a voice said “ahh Corporal Greenwood...we meet at last.” 
David eyes went wide “you!?” 
the man dressed in a blue suit carrying a briefcase said simply “please don't think I have been avoiding you, either of you...but quite a few matters required my attention in these trying times, I do hope you understand.” 
David said “the heck I do!” 
Gwen asked “David...who is this guy?” 
David answered “no idea, he saved my life, then stopped me from getting on the evac, and he rearmed the nuke.” 
the GMan said “yes my apologies for undoing that bit of hard work...but now I require another indulgence on your part, you see I can not close my report until all of the loss ends have been...tied up.” 
Gwen groaned “I don't think I like where this is going.” 
Gman nodded “the biggest of these has been the Black Mesa Facility…but that should be taken care of any second.” 
there was a flash of white and the Gman said almost self stasifed “Quite so.” 
there was a flash and the osprey was flying through the alien world as Gman said almost apologetically “but there is still the lingering question of...witnesses.” 
David took a deep breath Gwen did the same The Gman adjusted his tie saying casually “Doctor Santos...my apologies.” suddenly in flash Gwen was gone. 
David demanded “where did you send her!?” 
The Gman sighed “please Corporal now is not the time for such concern, she is not dead, at least not yet. she is with a another group of black mesa survivor's.” he finished with a sense of trying to make David feel at ease. 
The Gman grimaced “but that sadly leaves us with the question of what to do with you, my employers want you dead...but I must admit I have a fascination  with those who can adapt and survive against all odds, so for that reason I have argued to preserve you. 
there was another flash as the osprey was now in empty void, the GMan sat down across from David saying “while I believe a civil servant like yourself knows how to be discreet... my employer's are not quite so trusting...so we have decided to bring you where you can no possible harm, and no harm can come to you, I’m sure you can imagine there are worse alternatives .”  the door to a green ball slid open and the Gman started walking towards it
David said “what about Gwen?” 
The Gman paused “selfless...an admiral trait...she is well, simply she woke up in the trunk of a Black Mesa vehicle several scientist's used to escape...she will be watched carefully...but does not know what you and I do, and so I have spared her from this...consider it...payment for your fine effort...Corporal.”
and without another word he stepped into the circle and disappeared.  David sat there unable to move  letting out a sarcastic “Oorah.” before the world went dark.

some Gwenvid half life angst prompt for you "warning user death imminent."
i started writing a ficlet about David taking a shock roach for Gwen and his vest failing and Gwen rushing to save him, (it may have ended with some unnesscery CPR kissing) but I made myself sad...so if you send this again maybe I will write it, but for now...I shall simply tease you.

Anyone left down there now is on there own. Repeat, if you weren't already, you are now fucked"
Gwen day was truly awful, I mean she had some rough days before, but this was on a new level.  she wondered aloud “is it even the same day.” as she crept along holding a crowbar like it was the most valuable thing in the world. 
she shuddered a resonance cascade! that should only be theoretical, but well there was nothing theoretical about the aliens invading Black Mesa...were they even technically aliens, I mean they are from another dimension...meaning these “aliens” could just be humans from a widely different timeline...wait that's another realty not dimension...damn it she was making the classic Hollywood mistake she must be tired.
just then a man rounded a corner, he was carrying a submachine gun, pistol knife and a pipe wrench, for some reason. he was wearing urban camouflage a Powered combat vest, gasmask and a helmet. on his left sleeve was the American flag, and on his right was a black patch with two coloured lines moving diagonal over it, with the letters HECU underneath. 
But Gwen did not see all this at least until after she had already swung crowbar letting out a battle cry “HAAAAAAAAAA!” 
the crowbar hit the HECU helmet with a *ping* and he stumbled lifting up his weapon for a second before seeing it was an scientist and lowering his weapon “easy.”  the flittered voice said from underneath the gasmask. 
Gwen still held the crowbar in her shaking hands ready to make another swing. the HECU carefully removed the magazine from his weapon and lifted up his gasmask so she could see his face “hey there, my name is David, and see look I’m friendly.” 
Gwen glared “not from what I have been told.” 
David looked dumfounded “what do you mean?” 
Gwen gestured “that you lot are the worst rescue team ever!” 
David looked hurt “ouch, I mean aliens certainly complicit things, but I have been doing my best to help any personal I see.” 
Gwen glared “so does killing everyone to “silence the facility I bet that complicates your rescue mission” 
David blinked “your joking?” 
Gwen laughed sarcastically “yea I hit you with my crowbar on sight because I’m such a godman joker!” 
David answered seriously “Well, I don't know what the hell those guys are doing, but my standing orders are to ensure the safety of civilian personal, and even if they did order me to kill a bunch of unarmed people, I would be forced to refuse the order and report the officer who gave it to the power that be...my plane was shot down before they could give my squad there orders...damn they really are ordering a cover up.” 
Gwen looked at him “you really didn't  know?” 
David smiled “at the risk of hurting my case, if I wanted to shoot you I would have done it already Doctor...?” 
Gwen reached out “Santos, my friends call me Gwen.” 
David grinned “nice to meet you Gwen, don't worry everything is going to be fine.” 
Gwen grumbled “why did you say that.”
David lowered his mask back over his face “jeez aren't you a bit superstitious  for a scientist.” 
just then David's vest radio crackled to life “Forgot about Freeman! we are cutting our losses and pulling out!  Anyone left down there now is on there own. Repeat, if you weren't already, you are now Fucked!"
David looked down as Gwen said simply “well shit.”  as Black Mesa rocked as the bombing started.

who we always have to clean up a mess the grunts can't handle...you would think sooner or later they would figure it out.
there was a bang followed by a thump and a mechanical  voice saying “armor Comprised.” 
David reached for his side arm, but a man in black stepped on his hand as the voice yet again rung out “fracture detected, Morphine administered.” 
Gwen watched this from the vent where she hid, her lad coat darkened form crawling around in vents and covered in alien guts. 
the guy grumbled “I wish these damn vests would shut up!” 
the person next to the man in black a woman simply chuckled as David glared from beneath his gas mask.
The man sighed as the woman aimed her guns at David's head just like she had with every other HECU Marine she had seen saying “why do you we always have to clean up a mess the grunts can’t handle...you would think sooner or later they would figure it out.” 
the female agent lowered her weapon to shoot David, Gwen slips out of the vent grabbing a nearby fire extinguisher, and cursing herself for doing something so stupid she swung for the female assassin. 
she fell down with a *tonk* and the male raised his weapon to shoot Gwen, but David pulled his knife stabbing the man in the carotid artery.
David pulled his knife out of his neck saying “are you ok?”
Gwen paused before answering “if I have had better days, but the CIA trying to kill me, has really raised the bar.” 
David smiled “at least it can’t get worse.”
just then a group of aliens teleported in.
