"It's him!" Finn yelled.

Piper walked away slowly, unsure if should believe in that.

And then went to the hangar.

Junko and Radarr were already there. Looking to whoever was approaching.

And riding his usual and almost ruined skimmer, was the knight they knew very well.

Piper didn't noticed that she was holding her breath until she met the green eyes of her captain.

As soon as he landed, the others ran to him to commemorate and greet.

Radarr jumped in his lap to hug him. Junko hugged both of them, lifting them off the skimmer. Finn just putted his hand on his friend's shoulder, and Stork just waved.

But Piper... she was freezed.

Aerrow lifted his head, looking for her.

He passed through each of them, heading in her direction.

For a moment, they just stared at each other.

Then he pulled her firmly by her waist and hugged her.

And looking in a direction others wouldn't notice, tears started to drop from his eyes.

Piper realized, by the contact, that he was shivering. After that, she hugged him back. Holding him tight.

It made him calm again.

He putted his lips close to her ear and whispered "We have to get out of here immediately."

She nodded.

"Go get some rest. I'll take care of everything."

He pulled away a little and looked into her eyes. He lifted his hand to caress her cheek. "Are you feeling better?"

"You shouldn't worry about me right now."

Then he said in a rispid and low voice, holding her shoulders. "I will always worry about you." and released her. Walking to the door. Leaving everyone.

He must be... tired. Probably is going to take a bath, eat something and sleep.

Piper stayed at the same exact place she was since the start. Looking to an invisible point at her left, she said "Everyone to the bridge. We're going back to Atmosia."
