Just Your Average Army (JYAA)

-With Tom-

He looked everywhere, asked as many people as he dared, but Aquila and Elenora had seemingly vanished into thin air. After he made sure he had the other 9 kids asleep, he dialed Edd's burner phone. He heard someone answer and headed to the bathroom.

"Green its me Blue...." He said into the phone, there was a breath, "I'm...well.. I can't find two of the kids... I need to speak with her..." There was an angry sigh, he almost thought Edd wouldn't talk to him.

"Fine.. Let's hope for your sake she can find them." There was a sound as Edd set the phone down.

"Yaritza.. I need your help... can you find Aquila and Elenora so I can get them?" He knew who he was asking, Yaritza, Cat's biological sister. She had been protecting Cat using a small stuffed animal. But when the Felix Ceeiuses' Village was bombed she and Cat lost each other. Later Cat had found her and freed her from the toy she was possessing. Leaving her just a floating pink eye, that could see the past and future within circumstances.

"..The Blue Army tried to kidnap Elenora, Aquila was struggling with one, when his gun misfired. The bullet only grazed her shoulder, but it was enough to cause Elenora to panic. Her magic caught the attention of two Red Army soldiers who chased the men off and rescued the girls." Came the wispy female's voice, "I know not of where they are currently, but I do know they are safe."

"How can you not know?!" Tom demanded, a faint laugh was heard from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, Tom. I told you already. I cannot see something if there is a Felix Ceeius there... or in their future. That is how we work dear friend...But they are in safe and Caring hands I promise..." Came the reassuring voice, which didn't calm Tom down one bit.

"How can they Be safe with Tord?!" He growled through gritted teeth, his hand in a fist, "He killed Bella, Jon, And Cat, if I must remind you!" There was a pause, Yaritza had gone dead silent, almost making Tom regret what he said to her.

"You have no need to remind me Tom......Cat was the only family I had... you have others to help you with your grief... I have no one." Yaritza sighed her voice was the only way to tell her feelings, and it sounded broken. "I lost more than you think... I've lost myself... no one to actually see or talk to... my form maybe a eye, But I cannot see out of it.... I.. Just want to feel needed... loved... cared for.. Again.. Not just dusting me off when you need to... it hurts Tom it really does... I have no family.. At least you have yours.." She fell silent, Tom for sure felt terrible, he heard Edd grumble in the background.

"Yaritza.. I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have said that." He told the her,instead of an answer he heard the phone be picked up by Edd.

"She's done Tom, she ended your conversation, Just come back to Britain before you lose any more of those kids.. Alright?" Edd sighed, and Tom looked at himself in the mirror. His once spiked up hair, had a lot of gel in it to slick it back. His void eyes dripping blood, he sighed still looking at his reflection.

"Yeah, I got that... Edd please make sure she knows I'm sorry for what I said..." He heard Edd grunt before hanging up, Tom took off his striped shirt, and laid his head down over the tub to drain his eye sockets as he drifted off to sleep.

-With Aaron-

Aquila had moved over to Ellie's bed to cuddle her while she slept, he wouldn't bother them so he sat down and did some paperwork on what supplies were needed. He could almost feel Aquila's gaze burning through his back. He muttered under his breath, about things that would be needed soon. As soon as he got those done he realized he didn't have anything to do. Today wasn't as busy, even if they were recovering from an attack. The other medics were taking care of the injured. He was given Kathiren and 3 other soldiers, who died of their injuries not long after he treated them. He made sure the dog tags were given to the correct person. He even got one, mostly because one of the dead, was a very good friend of his. He was morning Alex's death, but he knew that he would have wanted him to keep doing his job. So he pushed himself, through his pain, he continued to do his job. Some of the soldiers thought he was bad luck, mostly because of how many have died in his care. Even when he was doing his best, they just die no matter what he does. He sat down on the bed that was the furthest away from the girls as his ward would allow, to give them some space. Each medic got their own medical ward and nurses too, but all of Aaron's nurses had died in battle. He was the sole worker in his ward, it was stressful most days, but sometimes it was relaxing. Red Leader thought he was capable of handling his ward by himself. Aaron's shoulders sagged as he let out a quiet sigh. Aquila looked at him before turning back to look at her sister who was peacefully asleep.
