Love is a battlefield - Chapter 2

Clide put his helmet on as the elevator stopped on the bottom floor and slightly nudged Romero out the way has he says his trademark "i'm Swift like a Moa in mating season" Romero chuckled while Ocelot and Nightflash groaned, Maria just stayed silent still wondering what brought on Clide's sudden compliment before she noticed a hand waving in her face, it was Brass "Yoo hoo Reach to Whisper, you in there or is it just a suit of armor now" Maria laughed a little before replying "no i'm here brass just wondering something" brass suddenly also wondering now what she was wondering "about what Maria" Maria didnt answer him instead using her jetpack to land right next to swift at the landing pad, bringing forth swift's other trademark "oh helloooo" Maria caught off guard by since she landed about a nano second before he said that "hello to you too Clide" Swift looked at her "so what's up" Whisper looked at him slightly wondering how he knew she was gonna say something "well I was just wondering what brought on that little compliment before" she turned to look at the sky again "just saying it like i see it" he codnt see but he had Maria blushing again, Maria had already taken her helmet off while waiting for the pelican, before swift can say anything Maria takes off his helmet and kisses him for a few seconds, leaving a stunned Swift standing next to her a stunned Ocelot and Nightflash behind them and a "Whoooo you go Clide" from Brass, Maria just puts her helmet on as the other 3 approach the 2 with swift still completely stunned Brass just waves a hand in front of Clide's face, no answer "oh good going Maria you killed him" Maria just giggled with her audio output on her helmet off so no one else could hear, Clide just broke out of his paralysis before putting his helmet back on and trying to open a private comm channel to Maria, as the channel opens he simply says "what was that about" Maria just said "shhh it's a secret" much to the slight annoyance of Swift as he closed the comm channel hearing an instant "What was that about" from David, Clide turns to look at him and says "I have absolutely no idea" nightflash just shrugs as the pelican approaches which he noticed cause of a loud annoyance, namely Brass, shouting "here comes our ride" everone piles on the pelican when it lands, nightflash gets on last and bangs the cockpit door when he does, letting the pilot know they're all on board before strapping himself in next to Ocelot they knew it was gonna be a long journey before they get there and they all turned to look out the pelican's small back window to watch the crumbling city get smaller and smaller as the pelican flies away from the chaos
