Looking at me,  Sabrina Capenter


The next morning Danielle was dreading going to Top Gun. For one, she was exhausted. But she was also nervous to see Hangman. Why? She wasn't exactly sure.

They both knew they had to figure things out, and of course it wouldn't be brought up at work. Right?

Danielle let's out a deep sigh getting up out of bed. After getting ready she went to check on Natasha who seemed to be even more tired than she was. Or maybe she was just hungover.

"Come on we gotta leave in ten minutes." Danielle says watching Natasha brush her hair back into a bun.

"I'm trying. I didn't get sleep like you did okay?" Danielle rolls her eyes at the comment. True, she did leave the Hard Deck before the rest and get a nap in. But after seeing Hangman again, she couldn't sleep. She maybe got in an extra hour but she had too much to think about. Hopefully it wouldn't affect her flying.

"Take a nap in the car, I'll drive." Danielle leaves the room to get her things ready and find the keys. She grabs herself a water to take in the car and waits in the kitchen for Natasha.

As she waits, she looks at herself in the mirror on the wall, adjusting the small pieces of hair coming out of her bun. Finally, Natasha comes walking out of the hallway.

"Took you long enough." Danielle jokes "Let's go."





Arriving at Top Gun, Danielle noticed Razor walking in just ahead of them.
"Razor!" she calls out, trying to catch up to him.

"Poison, Phoenix." He nods as the three now walk together. "How are you guys?"

"Fine. Though I think Phoenix needs a nap." Danielle laughs and Natasha rolls her eyes.

"Yeah yeah. I could've gotten more sleep i guess." Natasha shrugs. Razor chuckles then looks at Danielle again.
"Have you seen Hangman yet?"

Danielle's eyes widen. "No. Why do you ask?" trying to give him the hint she hadn't told Natasha yet.
"Oh- Just trying to avoid him. We uh got in a little argument."

"Interesting." Natasha raises a brow "What happened?"
"Uh it's not really important." Razor shrugs. The three come up to the building and Razor finds a chance to break away. "I gotta put my stuff up, I'll see you guys in a bit."

"See ya." Danielle nods and the girls walk off to put their own bags away.
"Hey Dani, I've got a question for you."
"What's up?"

"Did something happen between you and Hangman?"
"Tasha why would you even think that." Danielle laughs. "Everything was normal."
"And what's normal?"

"A bit of arguing, but since I had a headache I guess it was a little less." Danielle made sure not to make eye contact with Natasha. She was worried she'd give it away with one look.

"Alright." Natasha nods "I just want to make sure he isn't doing anything to you."
"Aww Tasha cares about me." Danielle pretends to cry. "I can't believe it."

"Oh shut it." Natasha laughs pushing her friend away. "I'll meet you out there."

After putting all her things away, Danielle made sure her uniform looked right before heading out to make her way to the conference room. Almost as soon as she stepped out, she saw Hangman heading in her direction.

She wasn't sure what to do. She had already made eye contact, so there was no use in avoiding him. Why did she even want to avoid him? She stared for a moment before turning away.
