Sentinel drabble 'Call of Duty' Jim PG
This is for the 'hero' challenge at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sentinel_thurs.
Call of Duty
He's been called a hero many times; when he walked out of the jungle, alive, job done; when his body was still aching from hanging from a helicopter strut; after the final whistle in a dozen games he saved.
Said seriously or not, it never feels like a word he's earned.
Because in his head he always hears his father's voice, cool and scornful. "Don't be a hero, Jimmy. Let some other sucker take the risks."
He's not sure he's a hero, but he's damn sure he's a rebel.
And each time he goes above and beyond, he proves it.
