Dark Angel

She's the first thing he sees when he starts to wake up. "Damn, am I dead? Because I see one hell of an angel." Tex turns from the empty medkits she was stacking and sees York stirring. She runs to him and hugs him. "Hey Tex," he says.

"Oh my god, York, you're alive!" Tex sobs into his shoulder.

"You know me Tex, always seeming to be dead and then surprising you by surviving," he smiles at her. His helmet had been removed when Tex was working to save him. Tex removes her helmet to wipe the streams of tears that had formed down her cheeks. He reaches up his injured hand and brushes the loose hair out of Tex's face.

"I thought you were dead!" she cries out.

"Shh, it's okay Tex, I'm here, I'm alive," he attempts to soothe her. Tex collapses down beside him and rests her head on his shoulder, trying to stop her chest from heaving as she calms down.

"I love you York," she says to him.

"Okay, I love you Tex."
