#and it changed my brain chemistry

Hi. Have a request for a prompt! Thenamesh au where Gil is a special force agent and Thena being his commander in charge. Gil is at a risky dangerous mission and Thena, having a secret crush, is watching worriedly through his and the other teammates bodycam, talking with him at a quiet moment. A bit of angst and fluff? :) would be interesting to read something like that!
"All teams in position."
"T minus ten minutes," Thena spoke into the mic from the safety of the command post. She eyed the monitors, displaying their access to the security feeds as well as her team's body cams. "This happens fast, it goes smoothly. You move as we practised...no one gets hurt."
"Yes, sir."
Thena stepped back, holding her arms folded around herself. They had gone over this, they had trained and planned for it. Everything was in place and things were expected to go fine. But she was worried.
She shouldn't have been. It was...inappropriate for her to be.
But her eyes drifted up to the corner monitor, displaying Gil's position at the end of the hall. He was one of the only ones of the team isolated from the others. But his strength would be needed if they had to restrict access to the windows and stairwells.
"Hey, Boss?"
Thena switched over channels, uncaring how suspicious it was to want the privacy. "Gil."
"Sorry," he sounded like he was smiling. He could always speak casually, even if they were in the middle of a critical and dangerous mission.
"No, what is it?" Thena asked softly--too softly.
"I guess," he sighed. Anyone else pulling this would have gotten an earful about her not being a therapist, and that if they were having doubts then they didn't have to be part of her squadron. But Gil was different. "Are you sure you're safe over...?"
Thena bit into her lip, trying not to smile. It was silly, really. She was in a secure location, the command post for operations being just within range for her to keep an eye on her team. "The area's been cleared. We're perfectly safe."
"You're right," he mumbled, shifting anxiously as their countdown continued. "You know I just...worry."
She did know. She knew that he was entirely too sweet for this line of work, and that he was a great home cook, and that his favourite colour was green-
"What if they know where you are?"
"They don't," she answered plain and simple, hoping she sounded like a commanding officer when she said it. This wasn't the first time she had gone out of her way to assure Gilgamesh wasn't worrying about her when he needed to have his eyes in front of him.
"I guess they'd be in for somethin' else even if they did," she heard him chuckle on his end. "I wouldn't wanna face down the Goddess of War one-on-one."
Thena let out a faint laugh before she could stop it. He heard it, though, and she could tell. "Focus, Gilgamesh."
"Yes, Ma'am." It sounded dangerously like flirting when he called her that.
"Gil," Thena began again before she could stop herself. But her nails were digging into her palms and her heart was pounding. "Keep your eyes on the prize. No unnecessary risks."
"Get in, get out," he finished for her, and she watched his bodycam rise slightly as he straightened up his posture again.
"Just," she paused, her throat tight and dry. "Come back...to me."
Whoops.
"Alive!" she rushed out to add on, "come back to me alive!"
There were a few seconds of silence on his end, and Thena felt as if the temperature in her saferoom had increased tenfold.
"Count on it," he promised her, sounding much more serious than he had before.
"Gil, I'm serious."
"So am I," he responded quickly. "We'll be back before you know it, Boss."
Thena went back to folding around herself, pacing as their time ran out second by second. "You better mean that."
Gil held position as the first unit blew the door open down the hall. They were out of time. The image of his cam feed blurred as the smoke bombs went off.
"Thena, I promise."

"But remember that an "angel" is anything that carries out a mission for God. This includes forces of nature. An angel doesn't have to be an intimidating, fiery being... Photosynthesis? That's an angel. Gravity? An angel. Magnetism? Angel. The Midrash in Bereishis Rabbah (chapter 1) says than an angel only performs one job. That job doesn't have to be destroying Sodom; it could be peristalsis, centripetal force or condensation."
- Rabbi Jack Abramowitz, The God Papers
