Phase 7: Misunderstandings

"Tell us why you'd help someone like him," Orga demanded for the question on why anyone at all would assist a bio CPU was beyond him, "If you want some kind of favor from us then know that it ain't happening."

"Hey, I can have my own reasons can't I?" Sasha replied, not wanted to divulge her true reasons and motives for saving the pilot just yet.

"Hmph...if that's all you're gonna say..." Orga remarked, too exhausted to interrogate further as he took a seat.

Shani still stood there, silently watching as the girl as she worked. 'There's something she's not telling us...' Shani thought as he carefully watched her expression.

The minutes seemed to slide by as Sasha finally gave a sigh of relief causing the other two pilots to look up.

"He'll be alright, although his recovery's gonna take some time though..." Sasha explained as she started cleaning up the clutter of equipment from the tables and counters, "And you two should get some rest...knowing Azrael, he might send you back out there tomorrow..." She flashed them a look of reassurance as they reluctantly stepped out of sickbay.

Sasha slid into a chair as she stared at the unconscious pilot adjacent to her. 'You must know what it feels like, right..? To be used and thrown away...' Sasha thought as she slightly slumped down into a more comfortable position on the chair.

She continued to silently ask questions, as she failed to notice that sleep was beginning to catch up to her. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep, still lost in her abundance of questions. Sasha hadn't realized that she had fallen asleep until she had woken up several hours later in the pitch black dark of the recovery room. She was about to return to her slumber until a noise caught her attention.

'What the..?' she pondered as she tried to locate what the noise was and where it was coming from. 'Wait...that sounds like coughing...' Sasha thought as she rushed over to the pilot's side. Her suspicions were confirmed as she heard his labored breathing in between his coughs. "You're awake..." she whispered as she walked over to adjust the lights in the room.

"W-Who are you..? And where am I..?" Crot groggily questioned before going into another fit of coughs.

"Hush...you're only going to make that worse if you talk..." she replied as she looked around the room trying to find something that would help, "You really landed yourself into a heap of trouble from that last battle..." she commented, "You should be more careful..."

"You know...that didn't answer my question..." Crot gruffly replied, trying to stifle his coughs. "That's not supposed to be your biggest concern at the time now is it?" Sasha asked, giving him a concerned look.

"It's not like I asked for your help..." Crot mumbled after getting his coughing under control. "You wouldn't be able to ask for anything if I hadn't done something about it!" Sasha retorted, a bit hurt that he was being quite rude and ungrateful.

"Hmph, I don't need anyone's help...especially some girl's!" Crot grumbled, still feeling pissed off about the last battle.

Sasha was beyond words at this point. She couldn't believe what was happening.

"W-well...fine! If you don't need my help then I should just leave!" she yelled, "I thought you were better than him, but I guess I was just wrong about that then wasn't I!"

"I don't care what you think, now just leave me alone!" Crot hollered, which caused him to start coughing all over again.

Nearly in tears and frustrated beyond reason, Sasha dashed out the door.

Crot had immediately regret what he had said when he saw the hurt look in Sasha's eyes before she ran out.

Minutes later, thanks to the commotion, Shani and Orga came running into the room turning all the lights in the process causing Crot to shield his eyes.

"Damn, that girl really did save him..." Orga murmured, noting that Crot was now fully awake. "Hey...what's with that face?" Shani questioned after getting a better look at Crot, "You look like you committed another murder or something..."

"It's nothing...who was that girl anyways?" Crot asked, wincing as he tried to sit up.

"She was hanging around sick bay when you fucked yourself up," Orga began to explain, "Azrael was gonna have you killed when she stepped in...she saved your life."

This did nothing to lighten up the guilt Crot was currently feeling. 'Fuck...what's my big mouth gotten me into this time..?' he thought, not bothering to pay attention to anything else Shani or Orga said.
