Russian Medicine

Aftermath

Jace's POV
I moved to the cells and entered after passing the security check, I walked into nøkks cell "good news, we got your mother." She looked up hopeful for the first time in a while "Really? Where is she? Is she okay? When can I see her?" I chuckled "Hey hey, calm down. Yes really. The osprey with mike. As far as I know yes just shaken. When she lands in an hour I'll have her brought down here" she nodded "I don't think I ever told you my name before the rift happened and I got dragged away" I leaned back "I don't think so, I think I was busy trying to get a lead most of the time you were still here" she nodded "Freyja, that's my name" I looked at her "Like the Norse goddess?" She seemed surprised "Yes, actually it's spelt the same way" I smiled "well nice to finally meet you Freyja, I'll talk to Harry about getting you out of this Cell tomorrow, alright?" She nodded "thank you, for everything." I shook my head "No need. I didn't do anything" she sighed "You told Harry and got the operation to happen, you saved my mother" I shrugged "I guess, I'll have Ana come down and do a medical check to make sure you're okay after we release you alright?" She nodded as I walked away. I walked to my dorm as I turned on the tv and started history channels Warfighters(A/N a very good tv series you should watch if your into war stories) I walked out to the kitchen and thought about what to make, I checked my watch Lera will be home in half an hour. "Mmhmm I guess I'll make her favorite" I set about rummaging through the pantry getting everything I needed for Borscht, pierogis and chicken Kiev, kilo sticking her head in the cupboard. All in all it'd take around an hour since I'd premade most of the stuff for pierogis earlier. Around 30-40 minutes later, Lera walked in and took in a deep breath "what smells good?" I looked over from the pan "your favorites" she smiled as she walked into the kitchen with me, stopping to pet Kilo before taking over making the borscht. I heard Lera "What's wrong? Something's eating at you" I sighed "Sledges osprey got shot down about 45-50 minutes ago" Lera gasped "Are they okay?" I shrugged "I don't know, there's some survivors. The Navy is offering any air support we need and the 160th is making their way there as fast as they can. I've got Kim monitoring the entire situation with an AURIEL and Jacks orchestrating the air support" she sighed "I hope they're okay" I nodded "I do too... I do too." I focused in on the episode of Warfighters on the TV "I remember this" Lera looked over "what do you mean?" I kept watching "I was on team 7115, I was in that box canyon" she seemed intrigued I glanced over "Why don't you go watch that and I'll finish up here and bring it in" she nodded "thank you" and walked into the living room kilo right next to her whining for attention, I smiled. After a grueling 25 minutes I finished everything and made the plates. Walking in I set down the plates and the bowls of borscht, "You'll have to tell me how I did on the Borscht I haven't made it in a while" she nodded as she leaned against me and we ate watching the episode. I looked over as I finished my bowl and saw Lera struggling to finish it "Give it here" she looked at me "No I can finish it" I chuckled "Hon, don't force yourself to eat it, I can tell I fucked something up. You won't be hurting my feelings" she sighed and handed me the bowl as I walked to the kitchen and started doing dishes. I heard Lera "The rest of it was good though" I chuckled "you don't have to try to make me feel better" she sighed before falling quiet, I could hear kilo growling lightly while bouncing around. I finished the dishes and dried my hands, moving back into the living room I handed Lera the remote "put on whatever you want to watch" she looked at me as I laid down on my side of the couch. "You okay?" I looked over "yeah, I guess Im just worried about the team" she nodded "I think we're all worried about them" I sighed before turning to her "so what are we watching?" She laid down cuddling into my side as she put on Rocky IV I glanced down "The one with the Russian vs the American?" She looked up "What?" I chuckled "are you trying to start a fight?" She shrugged "I don't know what you mean" I sighed "sure you don't" I watched the movie silently while Lera cheered for Ivan Drago. Eventually I had enough and got up walking to the gym, setting up a punching bag and taking my shirt off, I channeled all the rage, worry and boredom into each strike going faster with each doing combos before long I heard someone clearing their throat behind me. I stopped and turned seeing Freyja
