BRADLEY WAS SITTING on one of the uncomfortable chairs in the hospital hallway in front of the room where Emily was in. He had been there for hours with Logan and Natasha. Logan was fine after the fall and had to stay in observation for about two hours.
Emily on the other hand had taken the hardest hit. When she ejected she hit the broken windshield which had done a deep cut along the left side of her abdomen. It wasn't so bad that she couldn't fly for a while, but it still hurt like a bitch when she got it. They hadn't seen her since that morning. It was just like that time Logan's incident happened, except this time it was even worse since they had stayed there for even more hours.
Many had come to visit, quite literally everyone, but they didn't know that not too far from them Maverick had been staying there for just as long as they had.
Suddenly they heard the door open and immediately looked up. When they did they all let out a sigh of relief as they quickly stood up. There Emily, still in her suit, was standing in front of them. She had removed the upper half and had her tight-fitting black t-shirt on and underneath it a big bandage on her wound.
The three immediately went to hug her tightly and she hugged them back as tight as she could.
"God, I was so scared. Don't do that again!", Natasha told her as she wiped away her tears.
"I'm sorry, I'll try not to", Emily replied with a teary smile.
"You idiot, next time I'm flying the plane", Logan playfully told her with the same teary smile.
"Yeah, as if I'll let you do that", she told him with a teary chuckle. When she looked at Bradley again he simply moved closer to her and hugged her again and soon the other two joined the hug too making her chuckle.
She had her chin on Bradley's shoulder when she slowly looked up. At the end of the hallway she saw a familiar figure looking at her with tears stained eyes.
Maverick looked at his daughter from afar. He had been so scared to lose her and Logan today, but he still stayed away knowing that they probably didn't want him close right now. But what Emily did surprised him because she smiled softly at him and gave him a nod, as if to say 'thank you'.
He couldn't help the big smile that formed on his face as he nodded back at her. For now, that was enough for him.

Emily had to stay home another day before being able to fly again. She had to seat through a whole three hour kind of examination from Warlock and Cyclone in which they told her that she was only going to fly carefully, no joking around. But when they tried to tell her that they were thinking of not making her go in the mission she immediately objected and said that she was going, no matter what. They knew it would have been hard to convince her not to, so they eventually agreed. Now she was with everyone else back in their class as Cyclone spoke before them.
"Captain Mitchell is no longer your instructor. And as of today, there are new mission parameters. Time to target is now four minutes. You'll be entering the valley lever at reduced speed. Not to exceed 420 knots", Cyclone explained and they all looked quite confused. That was definitely not what they were expecting to hear that day.
"Sir, won't we be giving their planes time to intercept?", Bob asked him with a frown.
"Well, lieutenant, you have a fighting chance against enemy aircraft. What are the odds of surviving a head-on collision with a mountain? You'll be attacking the target from a higher altitude, level with the north wall. Gonna be a little harder to keep your laser on target, but you will avoid the High-g climb out", Cyclone went on leaving them shocked.
But suddenly they started hearing a beeping sound and on the screen a plane appeared.
"Who the hell is that?", Cyclone asked.
"Maverick to Range Control, entering Point Alpha. Confirm green range", they suddenly heard Maveirck's voice and the two twins looked at each other with a frown.
"Uh, Maveirck, Range Control, uh, green range is confirmed. I don't see an event scheduled for you, sir."
"Well, I'm going anyway", Maveirck said, the smirk evident in his voice.
"No fucking way", Emily mutter with a smirk of her own as she leaned forward in her seat.
"Setting time to target, two minutes 15 seconds", he said.
"Two fifteen? That's impossible", Reuben said with a frown.
"Final attack point. Maveirck's inbound", and like that they watched through the screen as he went step by step through the course as the time passed quickly.
He went through every step as fast and as clean as he could and they all watched at the edge of their seats as he reached the target.
"Pumping in three, two, one", he announced before his plane started going up surpassing the first mountain. Then he got closer to the target and launched the bombs before he reached the higher mountain and started the climb. Some people even stood up in the room to see if he was going to do it with five seconds remaining. And then he hit the target perfectly and the time stopped.
"Bullseye! Holy shit!", Bob exclaimed with a shocked expression. The two twins behind him were simply laughing as everyone else was cheering in the room.
"That son of a bitch", Logan muttered still laughing.
"Damn", Jake murmured as he looked at the screen. That guy was crazy, but he was damn good.
