"Hey why don't we tell them Bob stands for something." Bob was about to answer but Phoenix told me the story behind Hangman's name. "Don't fall for it Bobby, you know they call him Hangman?" But before I could finish Mav flew up straight between us scaring the shit out of me. "Alrighty Bob, this is the part where I need you to trust me." " You got it El, let's show this guy." I smiled at the nickname, I was probably just over thinking it. I made a harsh right bank increase my speed to get away before missile lock. "Hey Frosty, he's tailing me!" "Damnit" I turn right again just trying to get him to follow me, So I can take him out.
Just before I got where I needed Hangman tried to banked hard left, but Maverick got him, that threw a wrench in my plan but I got Mav to follow me so perfectly. I watched as he kept going, he left me defenseless. "That's why they call him Hangman, he will leave you out to hang". I kept speeding up, and thankfully so did Maverick. "Umm Frost, he's still following us! " I smiled and nodded my head. "That's what we want to happen." Then instantly I moved up and slowed almost all the way down, leaving him to fly right past us, I lowered just enough to be level and I heard the beautiful charm of missile lock. No push ups for Bob or I. "Holy shit guys." I smiled and nodded. "We'll see ya on the ground. " I strut past Bagman with my chest out and a smirk on my face. "Feeling the burn?" I ask sweetly, earning a chuckle from Bob who was right beside me. "It's giving me a hard on snowball, wanna help me with it later?" He asked douchy I laughed and shook my head, I gave him a gracefully bird before Hondo scolded me. "Oh I'm sorry I hate it when it does that." I said to him as I covered my hand with the other.
"God El that was so cool. How the hell did you know he was going to follow you like that?" "Oh sweet Bobby, I had no idea, I just hoped." I said with a small laugh while gently tapping his upper arm. "It's something that he did when he was in Top Gun, I read about once in a book for some kind of book report in school. I thought who better to retry it than me." I laughed almost letting it slip that I knew him more than an instructor. "My dad was one of the best, sorry, that was random, I just wanted to say that because it leaves a weird weight on my shoulders. It's like I have to live up to his reputation but there is no way that I can. I don't know, you're the only person I've said that too, I guess I just trust you that much, I don't trust a lot of people." I rambled. It was true, I knew that I was an amazing pilot but I had quite the reputation to uphold, not only from my father but also my mother, and uncle I guess for that matter. I don't know why but I feel so, safe and relaxed around him, I would for sure let him hold my drink at the Hard Deck.
"Hey, I'm glad you told me that. I think that your dad would be super proud! You were able to take out our teacher! I mean, not just anyone can beat a teacher like that, he was brought in since he was truly the best of the best, and you took him out. I know that I'm proud. I feel honored to be flying with you. I mean they recalled all Top Gun graduates but they called you because you were better. You were better than the top 12." He said genuinely, and it made me almost cry. "Thank you Bob, Thank you." I said, I wanted to hug him but I put my arm back down and opted to gently squeeze his shoulder. He smiled and squeezed mine back. "Of course Elenore. Of course." I heard someone clear his throat, so I turned and it was Hangman. "What the hell was that out there. You let me die." He said with his arms crossed. I shook my head when I saw Bob tense up. "No, you left us to die. I was coming to save you, but you burned out on me. Maybe you should figure out how to be a better Wingman." "You're only here because you sucked some dick, You didn't graduate from here but they called you. Why. Who was it. Iceman?" Without thinking my fist made contact with his cheekbone, right under his eye and beside his nose. It wouldn't break either but both would bleed. "I got here because I earned it. The PROPER way. And don't talk about Admiral Kazansky that way. He even deserves your respect!" I yelled at him while he was wailing on the ground holding his face.
"I'm sorry." I said not to Jake, no. I said it to Bob. I didn't wait for his response this time, I just kept walking. I walked to my car, and it only took one look at the small stickers on my dash for me to start crying a little. I shook my head and wiped my eyes before driving down to Pete's place. I got a text earlier saying he made plans for me to stay with him. I smiled, it would be nice to catch up after three years. Mav may not seem like it but he is a pretty family based guy. I guess that could be part of the reason that Goose dying broke him so much. But then I looked back on Bob, if he died, I would quit entirely. I pulled into the driveway and tried not to cry. But one thing made them start spilling from my face uncontrollably.
{T} How was your first day hun?
