Top Gun: Maverick | Miles Teller & Tom Cruise

LINA'S POV

I took off my flight suit slowly as I felt my entire body ache. I could see small cuts and bruises over my body where the flight suit had been ripped or burnt. I took off my shirt and winced as my upper back was sore from the massive hits. I there my clothes away and stepped into the shower. The hot water hit my skin making me wince when it washed over the cuts. I slammed my fist in the shower wall when the water washed over my legs. Getting hit by a missile was nothing easy. It hurt.

"Lina." I heard Miles voice say from outside the shower room.

"Wtf Miles. This is the ladies locker room." I said trying to contain the pain.

"I hear you wince in pain." He said and I sighed.

"Get out Miles." I said and I heard a door close and I felt the anger build up inside me so I screamed. Very loud.

"Fuck!" I screamed and banged my hand on the wall. I turned off the water and leaned onto the wall for a second. I felt the cold air wave over my body and I opened the shower door and grabbed my towel. I wrapped it around my body before walking out of the shower. I stopped in my tracks as I saw Miles lean onto the wall next to the shower holding my clean clothes.

"I told you to get out." I said.

"Yeah, well, I promised to never leave you and I intend to keep that promise." He said and I sighed as I snatched my clothes from him.

"How did you know?" I asked.

"What?" He asked.

"That I crashed, how did you know?" I asked.

"Tom has his ways." He said and I sighed.

"So unbelievably irresponsible." I mumbled as I walked over to my locker. I pulled over my black t shirt and put on my spare flight suit. I tied the arms around my waist. Brushed through my hair and put it in a neat low bun. I could feel his eyes burning, I closed my locker and turned around and he almost looked a little sad, shocked as he saw the bruises and cuts.

"This can't happen again." I said as I put my aviators on my head.

"What?" He asked.

"You can't barge in here like this. It doesn't work like that." I said.

"We can if you are plummeting towards your death." He said and I looked to the side.

"No, Miles, not even then. Because you aren't supposed to know until they call you. I don't know what stunt my dad pulled so you found out but it can't happen again." I said.

"We managed to get on the right channel." He said and I sighed.

"I'm here to do my job and I can't do that if you guys are eavesdropping. Whatever I do here, is between me, my colleagues and my bosses. Whatever happens here doesn't concern you unless they give you a call." I said.

"You can't know what happens up there!" I said angrily.

"What you did can get me fired!" I said and he looked down at the floor.

"I wouldn't just barge in on your set if you hadn't asked me to." I said.

"This won't work if you don't trust me." I said and he slowly looked up at me.
