Sharpshot- Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw

Fear not for the Future, Weep not for the Past

I can hear everything around me the heartbeat tracker and the doctor's conversation.

'Come on Amy wake up, please'

It's Bradley but someone else is with him.

'She'll wake up soon, the doctors said-'

'I don't care what the doctors say'

'Bradley calm down, she'll wake up'

It can't be, I mean Bagman come to see me in a hospital bed. Never would I ever think of that happening.

Just a peak please some light just please.

ROSE, IS SHE OK?

I NEED TO WAKE UP.

Forcing my eyes to squint just to get some light catches the eye of Bradley.

'HER EYES'

'What do you mean Bradshaw'

'They're moving-'

'Bradshaw, she isn't meant to wake up for another day or so'

'NO, I KNOW WHAT I SAW'

I hear Bradley get up and walk over to where Bagman's voice came from.

'LIEUTENANTS GROW UP' And that's the voice of Maverick. Great.

I no longer want to wake up but I need to.

I need to check on Rose.

Another peek at the hospital ceiling abd another and another.

I feel the air move as I think Bradley sits next to me but it's not.

'Come on sweetheart, wake up'

It's Maverick.

This time his voice is somehow comforting and drives my adrenaline to open my eyes, no matter how much I can hate my dad at times I will never allow him to feel what happened to Goose again. (A/N oh how she promises this but..)

My eyes open and close just after. It's like I just went to Heaven and back. One thing I'd change if I ever became President of the U.S is dim hospital lights those things are bright.

'Bradley, you may want to come over'

No snarky comment just his footsteps. How did I get so lucky to know this man.

'She opened her eyes for a bit Bradley'

'SHE WHAT? TOLD YOU BAGMAN SHE IS STRONG I TOLD YOU. Amy can you open them again?'

'Yeah dumbass, it's just too bright'

'That's her, that's my Ams'

I feel the heat in my cheeks but right now I'm more worried about Scarlet.

'How's Scarlet, is she ok? Is she safe?'

'She's going to be ok'

'Is she awake?'

'Yeah she woke up a few hours ago'

'How long have I been out'

'About a day and a half'

'A DAY? I THOUGHT I WOULD BE OUT LIKE AN ENTIRE MONTH IF THAT HAPPENED'

'Yeah I know, I remember the night you screamed it at me'

'Oh, yeah' I chuckle at that memory and open my eyes slightly then a bit more until they are fully open.

'Ok, this is all touching and all but I need to go polish my truck'

'Bagman, I have wanted to tell you this since I first saw you' I make a scene and sit up with my dad trying to hold me down.

'Shut the actual fuck up'

'Nope, you'll have to deal with my amazing voice'

'Yeah please go say that to your mirror'

He smirks and walks off typical Bagman.

'How are you Ams?'

'Alright, definitely didn't crash my F-18'

'Alright we get it Sweetheart'

'Sweetheart?' I look at my dad with suspicion

'Bradley's idea'

'Sure, sure whatever you say'

'When can I get up out of this hell hole'

'Don't know docs weren't expecting you to be up now'

'Can I see Scarlet?'

My dad goes to talk to the docs which leaves Bradley at my side.

'I thought I lost you out there, when you didn't answer me'

'I'm sorry'

'Do not do that to me again'

'I will Brads'

'Nickname, already?' He looks at me dumbfounded.

'Yep'

'You just woke up after crashing an F-18'

'And?'

'You say that like you have done that before' he thinks for a moment. 'HaveyoudonethatbeforeAmy?'

'Nope'

'Why do I even try?'

'Because you care for me'

'And what makes you think that?'

'Bradley Bradshaw, I am wounded'

'You should be after that crash'

'How dare you, you should be happy I am not wounded'

'Only a Sith deals in absolutes, I will do what I must'

He used my favourite scene against me.

'Surely we can't be civilised about this?'

'You wish'
