Agents - Top Gun AU

Consequences

Ice walked to his office and opened his copy of the peace project.

He now knew he could no longer trust the president. He did for a long time, but she was a threat now. A major threat.

He looked at his list of agents. Everyone from Mavericks team including Maverick were on this list...

"They're all targets. They're all at risk..." he said as he ran his fingers through his hair. He thought to how the president knew about the accident. It wasn't brought to the attention of the government... it was classified...

So he knew it made sense that she was the one who initiated this. She brought it up. He didn't.

He started to write down all of Mavericks team. They were priority to protect cause they were the best of the best...

He was writing something when he heard something. He frowned. He opened his drawer and checked that his gun was there.

He stood up and looked at the picture of his daughter on the desk. He simply placed his gun into his belt and looked out the window. The power in his office went out.

"Come out... I already know you're there." He said as he turned. A figure in stealth stepped into the room.

Ice quickly pulled out his gun and started the fight. The assailant rushed him and started to fight.

Ice punched the man in the gut but he got slammed through glass window that divided his office and the hallway. He aimed and fired at the man, but the person dodged.

Ice fired a few more times but ran out of bullets. He pistol whipped the man but he got a tackle. The man pulled out a knife and swung at ice.

Ice ran down the hall and looked for his agents. He had no backup. He continued to run until another assailant appeared in front of him and body slammed him to the ground.

He hit the ground hard and cried out. He rolled out of the way of a knife just in time as he pulled himself ip and ran.

He couldn't die. He couldn't leave his daughter fatherless...

He couldn't let the president achieve whatever she wanted. He saw now there was three chasing him. He turned and punched an assailant in the face knocking him out.

He attacked the other two. He kicked one to the ground. He panted as the other backed up. He was about to stab him when the one person he didn't want to be there spoke.

"Papa!"

Ice spun around and saw her. "Anne!" He yelled. He saw Maverick running behind her. He turned and continued to fight to keep the agents away. One punched Ice to the ground and aimed at Anne.

Ice kicked the man off of him and dove for his daughter as the gun fired.

Anne screamed but then realized someone protected her. She felt arms around her she looked and saw Ice holding her.

"P-papa..." she said terrified.

Ice simply fell to the side. She screamed as Maverick finished up the fight. He shot the other agents and then ran over to Ice.

"Tom! TOM!" Maverick said as he rushed to his side. Ice gripped Mavericks arm and cringed in pain.

Maverick held him close as he pulled out his phone. "Stay with me... stay with me Tom. I'm getting help."

"W-why were you guys here..." Ice said as he teared up.

"Anne got some snacks and wanted to bring some food for your Night Shift... ROOSTER ANSWER YOUR DAMN PHONE!" He said as Anne sat there in shock.

Ice chuckled teary eyed. "T-thanks..." he said quietly.

Anne looked at Ice. She held his cheek and teared up. "Hang in there Papa..." she said teary eyed. She wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Ice held her hand gently and closed his eyes in pain. "I-I'm trying sweetie."

Maverick laid Ice down carefully. "PHOENIX!!oh thank god... get down to Ices office now! We have a situation. The director got shot."

"Shot!? We're on the way."

Maverick looked for Ices wound and put pressure against it. Ice cried out in pain as she tightened his grip on Mavericks arm.

Anne wiped Ices tears. She looked up and saw an agent standing up. Her eyes widened. "Maverick! The bad guy!"

Maverick turned and was about to fire but the sound of multiple guns sounding off and the agent fell dead.

He turned and saw Phoenix, Hangman, and Rooster with their guns up and fired. The rest had their guns ready in case they missed.

Phoenix ran over and saw the gunshot. "Oh this is bad..." she ripped the bottom of her shirt and balled it up quickly and pressed more pressure than Maverick was. Ice kicked his leg and cried out.

The other watched. They never had seen the Director like this.

Maverick kept Ice close and assured him he's okay. Bob gave Phoenix assistance with wrapping his wounds.

Rooster pulled Anne away and kept her entertained away from the graphic scene of her fathers injuries.

"Pete..." Ice mumbled quietly. Maverick simply looked at him. Ices eyes were closed due to the pain.

"I'm right here Tom..." he whispered. Ice relaxed ever so slightly when he heard that. Phoenix motioned hangman and Rooster to come help Ice up and get him to Mavericks room.

The two rushed over and pulled him up. They went ahead while Maverick gently picked up Anne. He watched them carry Ice .

He looked lifeless.

Anne wiped her eyes as she had a sad expression. "I-is he gonna be alright?"

Maverick didn't know. But he looked at her and smiled softly. "Yes... yes he's gonna be alright." He walked back down to their room and watched everyone take him into this bedroom and close the door.

He thought back to when he lost Goose. He teared up and simply sat down with Anne.

"I can't lose you."
