Henry's POV
- - -

Charles would slowly land his famous helicopter in front of Ellie and I, before stepping out of it to greet us. However, his greeting with cut short almost immediately after seeing us two holding hands.

"Oh. Uh... are you guys..." he seemed very lost.

"Dating? Yes." Ellie responded as she kissed me on the cheek to symbolise our bond to Charles. I couldn't help but smile and get flustered.

"...Good for you guys. Anyway... do you wanna go in the chopper?" Charles seemed a little miffed at the sight of us two being affectionate towards each other for some reason.

As we got on board and lifted off, Ellie looked at me slowly before asking, "Why does he seem so annoyed today?"

"Should I ask? Or is that..."

"I mean... if you want to. But he might end up crashing the helicopter on purpose if you say it the wrong way." she told me, chuckling.

I tapped Charles on the shoulder as we flew through the air. "What?" He asked me, turning around.

"...Uh, why did you seem so... uh... annoyed about Ellie and I being together?" I questioned.

"...I'm not annoyed." Charles answered, seeming very much annoyed.

"Come on, we both know you don't like it."

"...Fine. You wanna know why I'm annoyed about it?" He said with a mad tone. "It's because I'm never going to find someone. It just infuriates me being around couples... knowing I'll never experience that."

Ellie could overhear the conversation from the back of the chopped, deciding to stick her nose in. "Come on Charles, don't be like that. You'll find someone."

"No I won't. I've literally tried everything."

She looks at Charles with thought. "...Maybe we could help you? You know..."

"You'd do that?"

"Yeah!" she says enthusiastically, whilst I stick my thumb up and smile instead.

"Thanks guys. That's made me happier. I mean, I don't know what I was thinking really. I'm probably just jealous or something. As long as you guys are happy, I guess." He answers halfheartedly.

"Yeah, we're happy aren't we Henry?" Ellie asked me, turning around.

I did the same thing again, merely sticking my thumb up. Ellie giggled at the sight of it. "Haha, that's my Henry."

"Yep..." Charles said in return.

Aktau, Kazakhstan

Charles got onto the radio as we saw land below us once again. "Okay, uh, we're here. The base should be somewhere close to the port. I'll keep watch from up here. Good luck."

The door swung open, allowing from Ellie and I to jump out of the chopper. It was pretty dark as the sun had mostly set, so we would be jumping out in the darkness. After a relatively safe drop off and landing for the both of us, we would begin looking for the 'secret Toppat base' Charles described.
