Fenrir in the 501st

Phoenix down

The sound of the window startles me awake. I sit up quickly and look around. At the window, I see a very enraged Beurling in a striker. The very same striker I gave her back when she visited the 501st. I blankly stare at her then to the window, then back to her. She suddenly forces herself through the window in to the room. She kicks her unit off and walks up to me. Tears slowly start coming down her face, that still shows an angry expression. When she gets up to me I see her raise her hand and smack me. The sting brings tears to my eyes. Then she pulls me into a hug.

Beurling- ' Why would you do something so stupid! You could have died, don't you know how many people care about you! How many lives you've changed, that you've saved! I wouldn't have been able to handle it of the person who gave me my wings back died. '

I silently let her hug me and cry. I slowly rub her back as she cries.

Ashley - ' I'm sorry, I had to try. I had to try, so I can fly with everyone again. I got my magic back... so... you know, I can be with everyone again. '

Seeing someone like Beurling crying like a child starts to make me tear up too. I pull her down into the bed so she doesn't have to kneel at the bed side anymore. We both pass out from crying.

The next morning I wake up to the sound of the door being shoved open and the head of the abominable tanuki pops in. We make eye contact then she clicks her tongue. She the shuts the door and leaves. The commotion also roused Beurling from her sleep. She sits up and rubs her eyes.

Beurling - ' What time is it? '

Ashley - ' I don't know, looks to be morning though. '

Beurling them freezes and looks at me then to are state of dress before letting out a sigh of relief. Is that really the first place her mind goes. Like she should have woken up and remembered last night before jumping to conclusions. I look into her eyes and see some gears turning. Then a look of realization.

Beurling - ' It wasn't a dream! '

Ashley - ' Of course not. I know what I'm doing. '

Beurling then looks at me a with a straight face. Her gaze burnning deep into my very soul.

Beurling - ' With the amount of injuries you get, it dosen't seem likely. '

I just stick my tongue out at her and look away.

Beurling - ' Very mature. '

Ashley - ' Hey! Thats mean! Apologize or I'll tell the tanuki that you secretly want her. '

Her eyes shoot open in suprise and fear.

Beurling - ' You wouldn't do such a thing! No one should go through that. '

We both stop and look into eachothers eyes, we both break into laughter.

The rest of the morning is filled with medical checkups. The last medical checkup ended late afternoon. My stomach growling for food, I make my way to the dinning room to see if there is any food left. When I open the door, I'm surprised by everyone in the 507th waiting for me. They all offer me congratulations on my recovery. We had a party till late evening. Alcohol was brought out, but I refused it. Minna said I shouldn't have any. The Tanuki kept trying to get me to drink even offering some crazy ideas to 'enjoy' the night. Definitely not sad to say that she was quickly dealt with and the rest of the night when by nicely.

The following morning, everyone had a hangover, I was fine as I had nothing to drink. I wonder what the others are doing right now? Well not like they could get into to much trouble without me there.

《502nd base》

Pokryshkin - ' How did the two of you break your units, in a single operation? '

Nippa - ' Well.... '

Kanno - ' Not our fault the units stoped working! '

Mechanic - ' Ma'am, Neuroi fragments have gotten into the intake and ripped apart the magic turbine. '

Pokryshkin - ' Do we have any replacements for that? We don't have O'Neil anymore, so this has gotten a lot harder then it should be. '

Mechanic - ' we only have one spare magic turbine, it fits for the Fuso striker but not the Karlsland unit. Why couldn't all the magic parts be uniform. '

Pokryshkin - ' Both of you will kneel and think about what you did! Karibuchi, don't end up like them. '

《Ashley》

Well, they are probably doing fine. That Krupinski though, I still have to unplug her morphine.  But by now the pain should be gone so, she obviously won't be hooked up still.... wait thats perfect,  ill practice my long range shooting using the wine, the full bottles of course. I can picture her face of despair, I can feel my face heating up to that thought.  No! Danger thoughts. I shake my head to get rid of them. I should take a plane back to the 502nd base soon, tomorrow sounds good, actually I'll see of one is going later tonight. I'll just tell Beurling and the other girls, the thing doesn't need to know.

Later in the evening after I finish telling everyone, I wait for the plane to finish its final checks. I turn around to see Beurling. 

Beurling - ' Don't do anything reckless again. Promise me that? '

Ashley - ' I can say that I won't but, we both know if some one I care for is in trouble. Well, I can't exactly sit around can I ? '

Beurling - ' Hahaha, I guess you're right. Take care of yourself. '

Ashley - ' I will, you take care too. '

I walk up to her and give her a hug. We hug eachother till the pilot come out of the palne amd tells me its time to go. I walk over to the plane and board it. It going to be a long flight back.
