Reunion
A/N Spoilers for the final episodes of Storm Hawks! Read at your own peril!
The Wastelands... The last place on Atmos he ever wanted to be, and now... It was to be where he spent the rest of his life. He flinched as a lave geyser burst forth from the ground. Why? Why did this have to happen to him?
"Ravess..." This had to be her fault! His sister had been the one who ticked Cyclonis off first! Then again... That whole fiasco had been partly his fault... His anger fizzled away as he began wondering. What had happened to his sister? Was she still alive out there somewhere?
Snipe let out a sigh as he sat cross-legged on the ground. When he found out that she had been banished, he first felt pleased, his vindictive side being stoked, but after a time... He began to realize how important she really was to him.
No, not to say that he was feeling anything much toward her- no, he hated mushy stuff. Rather, he missed how much fun he had annoying her. Now... Now he would never see her- never mind annoy her- again.
"Hmph. Stupid Cyclonis. Never should have let her push me around... Stupid witch. She ruined everything!" It was true, his rank, his life, his family... They were all destroyed by her. He thought back to how he had groveled at her feet and instantly felt ashamed. What a coward he was, to be terrified by a little girl who was barely a third his size.
Snipe whipped around as he heard a sound behind him. A skimmer had landed, and it took him a moment to comprehend who its rider was. "R-Ravess?" He took a step toward her, then stopped, staring at her a few moments.
"My brother... I heard what has happened to you," she walked towards him, stopping few feet away.
"Come to rub it in?" he snarled, taking a step away from him.
Ravess shook her head. "Of course not... I've come to get you out of here."
He stared at her, disbelieving. "And why would you do that?"
"I would do anything right now to defy that witch Cyclonis." She turned from him. "Now come on, we're getting out of here." He followed after her as she returned to the skimmer. After a few moments of silence, she spoke. "Besides... You're my brother."
Snipe found himself staring at her once again, his throat tightening with some sort of... feeling. Before he could stop himself, he found himself embracing his sister.
Ravess found herself hugging him back before she caught herself. Stepping away from him, she cleared her throat. "Yes... Well... Er... That never happened."
He nodded, disturbed by his sudden show of emotion. "Agreed."
A/n Yes, I was always disappointed that the show never delved into the relationship between Ravess ad Snipe, I mean why even bother having them be siblings of you're not going to go into it? I was especially disappointed when Ravess was banished and it didn't even show Snipe's reaction.
