The Skies Are Mine

Chapter 50

3rd pov

After Y/N managed to drove the enemy's squadrons aces away, the Coalition forces celebrated their victory knowing that the nukes aren't in the WWB hands. Then the Coalition forces began to reinforced their position to defend the facility for any counterattack as some decontamination units starts emptying the nukes at Y/N's orders. As promised Y/N led Thorn onto the aircraft carrier, USS Enterprise for debrief. They landed their fighters on the carrier's deck and parked them next to each other as Thorn doesn't want to parked her fighter jet near other people for safety reasons. They turn off their engines before hopping out of their aircrafts. Thorn saw that they were not the only ones on the deck as Oracle, Gremory and Sitri standing by their respective aircrafts staring at her with suspension. Some were staring straight at her while others are side glancing towards her. They know that she was one of the aces from the previous battle due to them recognising her aircraft. Thorn feeling nervous and scared tried to avoid any eye contact. She heard two separate footsteps to her right and look to see Y/N and his WSO

Thorn: So... What now? You're gonna interrogate me for intel before throwing me in a cell?

She assumed that is going to happened to her when she lands on the carrier. After all, that's what a normal thing to do to a POW until the end of the war where they will be freed. However, she didn't prepared for this answer

You: I'm not gonna do any of those because that's not my job. I want to get to know you

Thorn was surprised that THE Demon King want to know more about her. She blinked and blushed at such a bold move to someone he just met while saying it in a nonchalant way. Ddraig saw her expression was stifling her laughter knowing that Thorn just thought that Y/N was hitting on her

Ddraig: Y/N, I think the way you say it made her think that you're asking her out

He look at his WSO and blinked wondering does it really sounds like he's hitting her

You: Oh, my bad, not in that way. What I meant is by learning your name and your perspective of this war

Thorn sigh while mentally face-palming herself for even thinking it. She knows that if her brother is here, he'd probably scold her for thinking that way

Thorn: Alright then, lead the way

He nodded and start walking inside the carrier with both women following him. After a couple turns, they have arrived at the command bridge where Thorn saw another woman with white hair and blue eyes sitting on a chair

You: Enterprise

Enterprise turn to see her husband standing there with his WSO and their POW. She gives them a smile

Enterprise: Hello Commander, I'm assuming that she's the one piloting the ADFX-01?

She got a nod from her husband before looking at Thorn signalling her to take a seat on a chair in front of her which she did

Enterprise: As you have already heard, my name is Enterprise and this is my ship

She gestured the bridge which Thorn nod in response

Enterprise: I'll be asking a few questions if that's alright?

Thorn nodded

Enterprise: First, what is your name and codename?

Thorn: Amelia Crowe, Codename Thorn

Enterprise: Second, from what world did you originate from?

Thorn: Same world as Osea

Enterprise: Finally, what are you fighting for?

Thorn: For world peace

Enterprise narrowed her eyes as she cross her arms and crisscross her legs
