Disclaimer: I don't own Gatchaman. If I did, I would change nothing.
AN: Just to let new readers know, this is the third chapter of my "The lost Owl and the Phoenix" fiction I decided to kick off last month. So if you don't mind spoilers, read on. Otherwise you'll find the previous two fic in the Gatchaman section (since I kinda wanted to surprise everyone with the crossover, which is a little spoiled by the second section of the fic)
Ryu has woken up on the helicarrier, specifically, the infirmary. After extracting himself from the situation, he has tried to find a way off the ship and found out that SHIELD personnel were examining the God Phoenix. Since he didn't know that SHIELD is the (relatively) good guys, he assumed that it was either Galactor or an unknown military organisation attempting to plunder her secrets.
Initiating the self-destruct sequence, he double checked to make sure she wasn't salvageable before evacuating to the deck and saluting his long-time companion. After a brief attempt at escaping the soldiers, he encounters Iron Man and Hawkeye.
Already having a terrible run against large mecha's from Galactor, a human sized mecha was virtually unbeatable for the Owl on top of a large army of gun-toting soldiers. Giving up almost all hope, he decided to make his last stand. Called an Alien by a Doctor earlier, he gives his last speech and prepares for combat...
His speech worked… Well, kinda. It just so happened, that he was thinking about some alien films he saw with Jinpei a few years back and putting two and two together to make fifteen he may of mentioned something that managed to diffuse the situation.
Taken in for an interrogation, he managed to get some info out of them before spilling any beans. Of course, just as all the comments about being called kid gets to him and he final shouts out his real age, a certain Captain enters the room having observed the Owl from behind a one-way mirror. He knows when someone has military based training but when you're not a legal adult, the Avengers was slightly (very) shocked about that fact.
Which left him wondering how exactly to explain to these people, where he came from, how long the war against Galactor has been going on for, the Science Ninja Team's purpose, how much death they have experienced, how bloody the war is and the age range of the team. And with how shocked they are about a 17 year old in the special forces branch of the Military, that is going to be a rather, delicate subject.
And now to skip the entire second half of the interrogation because it works slightly better as memories and/or flashbacks.
A/N: That was what happened previously in the fiction. Super short, but it's a summary. The next chapter is slightly longer so that's the apology.
Again, please critique honestly, I want to know of any mistakes I've made whether it's spelling or grammar mistakes. Expect the next fic to crop up in a few weeks while I shuffle ahead with the drafts.
