“Well it’s about damn time. God, I thought you two would never shut up.” Malchior said as he walked in. “He makes you happy doesn’t he? I haven’t seen you show that much emotion in ages.”

            “Yeah, but he has to return to earth now.” I said as Malchior helped me rearrange him in my arms. He put Mark’s hands together on his torso and put his white shirt and glasses on his hands. I carried him properly this time and backed away from the windows.

            “What memories did you let him keep?” He asked, following me to the middle of the room.

            “I let him keep the basics and space.” I answered as I opened a portal behind me.

            “Like?”

            “Wings, and me, of course, and I had to block everything else.”

            “That’s it?” Malchior asked.

            “Yes,” I answered. “He’ll be okay with just that.”

            “Alright, you better go though, before he wakes up.” Malchior advised.

            I looked at him, “He’ll wake up after I leave him in his bed.” I said as I stepped back. The portal closed in front of me and in the middle of the portal I turned around before it opened up again in his apartment. I stepped out and breathed in. I let the gravity sink in and Mark’s unconscious body got heavy.

            I walked up the spiral staircase and found his room. I levitated him into his bed and put the covers over him. His glasses levitated onto his nightstand. It was mid day and I expected him to wake up soon. Tim floated in from downstairs and nudged his way in between Mark’s arms. I walked over to Mark and put my thumb on his temple and manipulated his dream a bit.

            I closed my eyes to watch it change. It turned from an all black unconscious dream to a space filled, unrealistic flight through it. It was mostly his doing, by the way. We were flying through space with our wings and soaring through the different things he had so much curiosity about. Like Eve and Wall-e in that movie.

            I pulled my hand away, smiled and left him asleep in his human life. I walked out his bedroom door and jumped from the staircase, through a portal and dropped from the ceiling of the lunch room of the Earth quarters on HQ. I sat in one of the chairs and put my head in my hands. Someone sat next to me and waited for me to look up.

            “So he’s gone?” Zorka asked me. Malchior sat next to her.

            “Yes, for now.” I answered.

            “Hopefully someone else can make you smile like that again, and hopefully it’s not Mark when he returns.”

            Zorka turned to Malchior, “We all know damn well you know who won’t ever fucking return because he’s a treacherous ass who doesn’t deserve Hawk anyway.”

            I smiled. That actually made me smile. I put my arms down and looked at my friends. I watched them argue about this particular thing for a while. It’s nice to have friends that aren’t human. But, truthfully, all I could think of was how happy Mark made me feel.

            I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see the captain there. “Kietzke?”

            He leaned down to my ear, “Next time you let Zorka record a Transformation, you should make sure she doesn’t upload something he’ll see.”

            His skin reflected out the technology lines that intricately traced across his neck and up his face. He’s a Techtite and knows everything about every technology on this ship. He pilots HQ and a few ships when sent out on a mission. He also sees Archived information right when it’s posted.

            He pulled out a small tablet and showed me the same thing Zorka showed me. I looked at her and saw how red her face was. She hid behind Malchior.

            “Thank you Kietzke,” I replied. “Try to put that in a private file so not everyone can see the new recruit’s crotch. I know the armory and uniform sectors will be looking at his file soon. 

            “Yes Ma’am.” he answered and pulled it away from my face and did what I told him to do. “Now it’s on private so it doesn’t matter.” he slowly walked away.

            “Stop watching it!” I yelled at him, making him jump and walk faster. I laughed again, “You guys really know how to keep me smiling.”

            Malchior smiled, “Yes we do, Hawk. We’ve known you for over a decade so why wouldn’t we?”

            Zorka started laughing and Malchior and I joined in.

           

It’s a nice ending to something that would change things forever isn’t it?
