Lera(Finka) Pov

4th Eschelon Med Bay

I sat in a chair my arms crossed, I was overlooking the results of horrors to which I had before believed impossible. In one bed was Sledge, Doc and Scarecrow worked on him for about four hours to make sure he had a chance at pulling through. He had several hundred stitches, a constant flow of oxygen, stims flowing through his system, and a very mild sedative to keep him under he reverted back to his regular size, which was a good sign, but his system was struggling to keep up. It was a coin toss whether he would make it, and another if he would even be functioning. From what I hear Scarecrow was seriously injured after his last fight, but despite his injuries, he was still stable enough for surgery.

In the other bed was just a bloodstain from Lion, only further set in the reality that he was really gone. I took a deep breath we need to recover, a vacation is a good idea. I hadn't known my teammate very well, frankly I never really wanted to I always thought of him as kind of an ass. I really don't blame Scarecrow for his death. It could've happened to any of us, but I had to be objective at that discussion. He probably hates me for it. I slowly stood up and walked out of the med bay headed towards the rear of the plane. I got to the living quarters and was thinking about my future with Team Rainbow when I bumped into someone. I looked up to see Y/n, fresh shaven and showered, he was wearing a very tight fitting t-shirt and a pair of black cargo pants. I have to admit I would climb that man like a tree if he let me. Unfortunately, he was very committed to this Valkyrie, loyalty is hot, I would like to spar with her when we get back to see if I could discover what he sees in her. He just stared at me with those deep and intense e/c eyes. I nodded silently to him and he nodded back. We just stared awkwardly at each other for a while, he is unreadable I honestly can't tell if he's angry or if that's just his natural face.

"Scarecrow, how are you feeling?" I asked nervously.

"I'm fine, thank you for asking." He responded shortly, but respectfully. After another long, awkward pause in the conversation, I started to walk around him and he moved aside. As I walked down the hall.

"Lera," he called I stopped and calmly turned around.

"Yes, Scarecrow?" I asked surprised he stopped me.

"I'm heading to France soon to notify Lion's next of kin of his passing since you were his squadmate would you like to go with me?" He asked calmly. I didn't realize he was going to France to personally tell his family, I couldn't believe it. He just earned a lot of respect in my book. I turned around and looked at him for a moment, after a while, I just looked back at him and said.

"Absolutely,"

Y/n POV

I was in our command tent packing what little belongings I had in there. I was in my full combat gear minus my top where I had my t-shirt instead, there is a significant dent to the plates in my chest armor from Sledge's hit I would need to bang the plates back to there original shape or replace them. It will be a very time-consuming ordeal, I will take some time when I get back to base. I turned to leave the tent and saw Kyle(Reaper) and Pedro(Lucifer) standing at the entrance helmets under their arms. I nodded to them both and walked between them out of the tent towards the tarmac.

"Gentlemen," I said as I walked through the camp, I heard them trail me.

"You look a lot better than when I found you at the school, I'm glad," Pedro stated in his usual emotionless voice. I just grunted we mesh well due to the amount of conversation we could have without truly speaking.
