Flight Force (Poe Dameron X Oc)

'The scum of Mos Eisly'

                                                                                

"Can we get a comms check please."

"I copy you Gold leader, this is gold two over."

"Gold 3, Copy gold leader."

"Receiving Loud and clear Gold leader, Gold 4 over."

"Gold 5 copy."

"All good over here in Gold 6, over."

"Alright Girls its time to party." I say into the coms, dragging out the y. I flood my engine with fuel causing the twin engines on either wing to blast to life, blowing out a cloud of fire and smoke and shaking the entire cockpit.

"Hell yeah." Peter chimes

"Let's go catch some bad guys."

"That's right bell, its been too long."

Using the instinct I've earned from years of flying , I flip every switch and pull every lever needed to get this fighter up in the air. After I'm done I pull up on the flight stick but instead of the weightless feeling I was expecting from the upward force,  all I get is a whining sound from the engines. I quickly toggle off my comms, so the squad doesn't  hear whatever curses I know ill be blurting out.

"What the  ." In confusion I begin re-flipping all the switches and scan over the dash board to check if id missed anything. After doing so and not finding anything I huff in frustration. "What is it bb? Is it the engines- is there something wrong with the fuel line?" I begin to panic that something had happened to my ship but then BB calls out.

"The restraint- no that's the first thing I did- I definitely- shit." Embarrassed, I flick the lever up  and once more pull up on the flight stick, this time I have more success and my ship flies up into the sky.

"Thanks BB- i- im not sure how I missed that." I deflate a little, im not usually one to make mistakes like that- the restraining switch is the first thing I do every time I fly. Well that wasn't a great start to my first mission back.

"All good down there Jenkins?" Blues voice sounds out through the comms link and I switch my mic back on. Looking out my canopy I can see the other X-wings ahead of me.

"Yep just thought I saw a cloud that looked cool."

"Yeah right." Kenny laughs . "Wait really?"
...

"Alright we all know the drill, stay in formation, no straggling, call out as soon as you see anything." As soon as we exit light speed in the sector we were sent to investigate i'm already back to my commander ways. It feels nice.

All I can see is a few planets, the two suns of this system off in the distance and the 5 other x-wings belonging to my squad. On the top of each fighter is a crudely spray painted number, corresponding to their gold squad number, something they all did as a joke after I kept getting them mixed up when practicing formations. Even though it was done to take the Mickey, it actually is quite helpful.

Blue speaks up, giving his usual quick speal he does at the beginning of each mission, "The Tatoo system, also known as the Tatooine system. Is a A binary Solar system located in the Arkanis Sector of the outer rim territories. The planet Tatooine orbits around the twin suns, Tatoo I and Tatoo II."

"Aaand there it is." Peter teases. Followed by a few laughs from the others.

"Eyes up guys. Never know what we will find out here." My warning does quick work to quiet them up.

Peter is the first to say anything for a few seconds. "Aye captain."
..

We aimlessly fly around for a while not landing on any of the planets, simply scanning for any enemy ships or TIEs.
