Fear of Heights

By Alasse Fefalas

"Flynn, jump!" Eve shouted as she strapped on her parachute.

Flynn looked out the doorway of the rapidly descending airplane. The fire on the wing was quickly spreading. Looking down, his grip on his parachute straps tightened. "Uh, you go first."

She sighed. "Don't tell me you're afraid of heights!"

"My Guardians should stop saying that!" he siad exasperatedly. "It's just that we're really close to the ground and either way we're gonna crash and die so staying on the plane would be a faster death, that's all!"

Eve rolled her eyes. She placed a hand on his shoulder and looked him square in the eyes. "We are not dying today." Without warning, she pushed him out of the burning plane and jumped out after him.

Flynn screamed as he fell through the air, fumbling with the deployment system. Eve caught up to him and pulled the string, letting loose his parachute and followed suit. When they reached the ground safely, she took hers off and ran up to help him with his.

"You okay?"

"You Guardians should stop pushing people out of planes," Flynn mumbled. "Seriously."

"Fastest way to get you out of the plane." Eve smiled sheepishly and quickly added, "Sorry."

Flynn smiled. "Apology accepted."


A/N: Slightly long but it's too short to be on its own so I'm dumping it in here. Quite a bit of reference to the first Librarian movie (Quest for the Spear).
