            Alex pressed some buttons on his forearm activating one of his stratsgems as he throws it to where some of the bots where. The eagle-1 dove down delivering the airstrike killing some of the bots. He glanced around it was hard to see the mech that had entered combat but he trusted she was still nearby.

            << helldivers? you're a long way from super earth... i have a paladin chassis capable of assessing threats like automatons. should things get uglier than they already are, you can use those close air support beacons, if you have any left. if not, then hunker down while i provide a distraction. trust me. sparrow out. >> the fixer replied, ending the transmission before conversing with the mech's AI. << asher. mark the unknowns as follows: mark the signature closest to the source of transmission as friendly and all unknown as hostile. do the same with any automaton reinforcements.
            
            << understood. IFF data has been updated. suggesting hit and run tactics to divide the forces. >> A.S.H.R. responded, as skye readied the mech weapon. it began to open fire on the incoming dropship. with exceptionally high caliber, in a dozen shots the engines would be shredded and it began to plummet to the ground, hopefully destroying at least any bots that didn't have the chance to jump just yet. as soon as the dropship was destroyed, the mech enabled the active camouflage protocol in other to facilitate repositioning. another cool feature for this, is that the photo reactive panels also conceal the heat signature.

            Picking up on her transmission Alex scrambled to reply before she runs into the fire fight. "This is Alex Brandon of the helldiver corps. flare is not friendly automoton forces are closing in do not engage i repeat do not engage." He warns her as the automoton dropship appears as more bits landed along with a tank.

            << so, there are truly no limits... >> skye murmured in conclusion, letting out a soft hum of thought. she didn't know exactly what a coral beam was when iguazu brought it up, but it sounded more like a railgun, if anything. as the AC came to a halt, the inertia made her lean a tiny bit forward before going back to normal, turning around to look at the pilot and locking gazes with him.
            
            when those words were said to her, the fixer's face became more flustered, as that smile on her face grew even larger. those words were something she hasn't heard from him until now, and she knew that as well. after that, she decided to lean back and rest her head on his shoulder as a gesture of comfort. << i would do the exact same for you, iguazu... even if it means going through hell and back, i wouldn't think twice. >> she affirmed. at that point, she no longer referred to the pilot as a 'corpo'. she was already past that stage.

            she's always preferred running a dodge build instead of tanking- she'll fly like viper from titanfall which I GOTTA SAY- HE'S ONE OF THE MOST MENACING MFS THAT DESERVES MORE SCREENTIME

                 “ Tch , ACs are capable of anything from what I’ve seen.  I would kill to have a Coral beam one of these days… “  he scoffs , stopping his AC as it was now standing idle.  The snow was falling slowly as it was fogging up the cameras , but that wasn’t an issue right now.  He just wanted to sit here and chat with the fixer , his dark eyes gazing at her with the little light they had within the cockpit.  The pilot couldn’t help but to admire her beauty…  wondering how he was able to get this lucky.  Must’ve been his / charm / , and by charm it was his grumpy attitude. 
            
                 What he wanted to say next was dreadful , he opened his mouth to try to speak but it wouldn’t come out.  He’s never spoken this way to someone before , it was foreign to him.  “ Yeah , of course.  Anything for you , “  he gives a slight smile.  It was a shocker that she was able to make him feel this way , it made him want to protect her more.  “ I’ll have to go back to Rubicon sometime and see what I can find.  I might have to bring you with me because I’ve no idea how I would bring it back here… “ 
            
            
            /    The L in my name stands for Legend…. :sunglasses:  (I’m never saying that again , omfg— ☠️)  BUT YEAH !  NO PROB !  I can see her having a light weight AC , that way she can have more flexibility while in the air.  She seems like the type to focus more on boosting and staying in the air while in combat !  The downfall is that they are fragile and can be taken out easily—

            regarding iguazu's change in attitude, it was something that the cyanette also noticed - she saw him smile more, has way fewer outbursts, and overall she felt like he was feeling happier than when they initially met, which was something she was also thankful about.
            
            regarding the AC's while it may be true that some mechs are easier to take down, an undeniable fact that remained was the shock and awe factor. when iguazu mentioned getting an upgrade eventually, skye perked up. << no way, you'd do that?! are the ACs really modular? >> the cyanette inquired, however, the last sentence didn't register to her until after the kiss on her cheek, which in turn made her face turn a little red and let out a small chuckle. << hah... you'd think so? >> she asked, trying to focus a little more on the subject, but her mind already began daydreaming about flying one... soaring through the skies, much like an angel of death.

            seeing ivana remaining more with the light side, skye felt like she was of the same opinion as the slayer, regarding the fact that she was this planet's last hope. when the latter stated her purpose, and her wish to protect everybody she can, skye's mental image of ivana switched to a guardian angel, protecting the innocent and punishing the wicked.
            
            when she saw the slayer's arms open for an expected hug, the cyanette did not hesitate one bit, getting up on her feet and approaching the slayer, before closing the gap by wrapping her arms around her chest, as high as her height allowed, before resting her head on ivana's shoulder. in all honesty, this was a big difference. she wasn't a big fan of touching, but when she genuinely appreciates other people, she won't hesitate to pull them in an embrace.

[@-thiswarofhers]
            
                 Sure , the two only knew one another for not even a year , but it was the thought that counts.  The slayer wanted to show some gratitude for the woman in front of her , it’s the best she can do. 
            
                 Having Skye finally make her choice , leaving Ivana with the light side was rather fitting…  considering she was humanity’s last hope in survival , even though she has a little bit of a dark side.  Her connections with the dark gods wasn’t something to be proud of , and she hated it.  However , it’s a fate that she cannot escape.  As long as she’s able to ensure everyone’s safety on earth , it was enough for the brunette to feel at ease. 
            
                 “ Don’t mention it , I’m just wanting you to be safe.  That’s my job , to be a shield for everyone… “  she gives a kindhearted smile , opening her arms slightly for a hug from the fixer.  As she was aware that the cyanette didn’t like being touched , remembering how she reacted from having her shoulder touched before.  Ivana was wanting to respect her boundaries even more.

            skye was watching ivana's hand intently as it was reaching for her empty holster. it took her a few moments to realize what the slayer pulled out, but when she saw the two connecting necklaces, her eyes widened a little more in awe. she hasn't seen twin necklaces like these before, but always liked the idea of having matching items with her partner. she wished she could've done that in the past as well.
            
            when both necklaces were shown to her, the fixer knew she'd have to make a choice. when the slayer spoke once more, she quickly fixed her attention to her eyes. hearing those words of reassurance from her, she couldn't help but tear up a little bit. despite the fact that it hasn't been that long since the two met, ivana already impressed the cyanette by going above and beyond to pull her out of that dark place in her mind, and now giving her a sentimental gift... on top of the already badass feats which captivated her in the first place. 
            
            << thank you, ivana... words can't express how much i appreciate you being here... even though that small meltdown from earlier wasn't part of the deal... >> she murmured softly, trying to soften the blow of that panic attack episode with humor on her end. after closing which necklace she should take, she resonated more with the "yin" side. despite the darkness of her past tormenting her to this day, she still has that glimmer of hope that barely keeps her together.

            as for skye, she wasn't really sure what to make of things, as she was still processing her ex-parther's death, somewhat. despite the fact that she was mostly over it, losing him left a lasting pain in her soul which persisted until now. to her, it felt wrong, but at the same time, it felt right. she felt like she was "betraying" daniel, but the other half of her felt like he wanted her to move on. being with iguazu made her realize that being with him was enough to dull her pain, too. she was just as broken. however, her soul could still be somewhat mended, even if she thinks it's beyond repair.
            
            after another minute or two, skye pulled away as well, locking gazes with the pilot, her icy blues looking much more lively, as if a flame had been rekindled. the cyanette was panting softly for air and couldn't help but notice the string between the two. when she was asked whether or not it was good enough, a genuine grin crept up her lips, which was the first time in a long while, before lettings out a hearty giggle. << yeah... yeah, i guess so. >> she replied, as that cheeky smile remained plastered on her face.

[@-thiswarofhers]
            
                 In all honesty , this was relieving Iguazu’s stress just by a tiny bit.  Of course , it wasn’t going to relieve him of the voices in his head…  the terrible voices that do nothing but torment him on a daily basis.  However , they were being drowned out just by Skye being here.  Maybe she was his light , his savior.  Perhaps if he hangs around long enough…  his broken parts might be fixed.  Only time will tell. 
            
                 The heavy make out sessions continued on for one more minute or two before the pilot finally pulled away.  He was panting softly as his eyes linger down to notice a bridge of saliva connecting from their lips , it was a slight turn on for him.  His face was flushed red , giving her a cheeky smirk.  “ Was that good enough for you , freelancer ? “  he mumbles to where only the two can hear , catching his breath slightly.  It’s a wonder what might happen if these two keep teasing one another.

@g5_redguns 
            
            her heart was pounding just as fast, if not faster than the pilot's. she found herself in the same circumstances of being stuck on base for administrative reasons, and that already lasted a good while. that same rush was also felt by her. that experimental paladin mech was also assigned to her, but never got the chance to try it out on the mission either. but for now, that didn't matter.
            
            skye fully shut her eyes and decided to just revel in the moment as well, feeling her hands no longer pinned and her partner's hands on her waist, before pulling her closer. with that newfound freedom, her arms went on to wrap around his neck, to make sure this doesn't end soon. her soft hums of pure delight during the kiss was a clear indicator that she already lost herself in the feeling. as for that fight for dominance, she was holding her own pretty well, but wanted to see what iguazu was / truly / capable of.
