Runs in the Family

Crashing and not burning (14)

We all sat quietly in the classroom waiting for someone to come in and teach us. Bradly and I would periodically exchange glances. 

3 hours previously: 

"Brad! Brad! Bradly!" I come running into the mess hall. 
He turns with a horrified expression, "What!?" 
"Mav got fired." 
"What!?"
"Maverick. Got Fired," I say out of breath. 
"No."
"Yes, Iceman can't save him anymore and Cyclone fired him."
"How do you know?" 
"I over heard it." 

Present time:

I didn't tell Nat or Bob, for good reason, so everyone else was virtually clueless. Finally Cyclone walks in and stands in the front of the room.
"There is going to be some changes." 
There is a collection of mutters and gasps among the pilots. 
"The time stamp of the mission. 3 minutes not 2.15. Altitude will be higher." 
"But Maverick said that-"
"Maverick is not in charge anymore, I am. and I say higher altitude and more time," Cyclone snaps.

Beep. Beep. 

Our heads snap to the screen in front of us.

"Good day aviators." 

Maverick.

"Let's do this." 

Maverick is trying to fly the mission. 

"He's at altitude," Jumbo says. 
Maverick whisks through the canions and pulls up, shooting at the intended target. 
"Here we go!" we hear him call, he pulls the gear and shifts straight upward. 
"Holy shit he's gonna do it." Brad whispers to himself. 
"Time," Maverick calls. 

"Holy shit," I mutter.
"He did it," Bob says behind me.
"Maverick get your ass to base!" Cyclone yells. 

More to come! 

Lots of love <3 :)
