Summary: Stork wasn't always the pessimistic Merb he is now. When he was a child, he had his baby sister to brighten his day and put a smile on his face. One day, his sister was kidnapped by the Talons. What happens when Stork and his sister see each other after many years apart? Inspired slightly by the song "It's Not Over" by Chris Daughtry.

Flashback/Author's Note
Chapter 2: It All Seemed to Make Sense
"Crane!" a young Stork cried, running as fast as he could. He reached his hand out, trying to grab his sister's as she dangled in the Talon's grasp.
"Stork!" little Crane shouted in return. "Stork, get help! Please big brother, you can't beat them by yourself!" The Talon that held the little merb hit her over the head, causing her to pass out.
"CRANE!!"
"Crane," Aerrow repeated. "That's a great name." he told her, smiling. He smiled wider when the girl in front of him giggled. Soon, both captives were laughing for no reason. 'Wow,' Aerrow thought, 'insanity really isn't so bad.'
However, their laughter didn't last long. Crane collapsed, coughing. Aerrow knelt down, and gasped. Blood. Crane was coughing up blood. That was NOT a good thing.
With the Other Storm Hawks
"Where is he?!" Piper asked for the umpteenth time. Finn and Junko only looked at each other and shrugged. "We don't know." Radarr, who was normally with Aerrow, was just as worried as the rest of them. However, Stork only pointed to a strange ship ahead of them; a ship with the Talon insignia. "We have company," he informed the team.
The team jumped on their vehicles, except Stork who had to pilot the Condor, and headed towards the Talon ship, ready to tear it apart in order to find their missing leader.
Back with Aerrow and Crane
Aerrow watched helplessly as Crane finished her coughing fit. Her blue eyes looked apologetically at him as she wiped the blood away with the back of her hand. "Sorry you had to see that," she told him, smiling slightly. The Sky Knight only grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her into a hug.
"Don't worry," he whispered into her ear, "my team will be here for us, and we'll get you some medical treatment." He pulled away, locking his eyes with Crane's blue. "Alright?"
Crane nodded, her smile widening slightly. "So, your Stork," she said, going back to the topic they started with, "what's he like?"
Aerrow spent the next few minutes telling his new friend what the team carrier pilot was like.
