Hi all and thanks for reading/reviewing/following! Im sorry I haven't brought in Cherno yet, this section was supposed to be maybe 1 or 2 chapters but I got carried away! Im hoping to bring him in the chapter after this and focus more on the Jaeger/pilot side of things, I just want to tie up loose ends. And sorry for not posting a chapter for a while, I have been away and there were no computers! Thanks again for reading and I hope you enjoy this chapter!

I awake in a hospital bed and for a second I am confused, but then I remember where I am and what happened. I jump out of bed and I see Mako, sitting up in bed and drinking her 'nasty tea' as Raleigh and I call it. I run over and throw my arms around her and I hear the protests from one of the nurses but I ignore them.

"Mako! I was really worried and where is Raleigh and what happened and what will they do with Gipsy and, and…."she laughs and covers her hand with my mouth.

"So many questions! To answer them, Raleigh is in another ward and I don't really remember what happened because the last thing I saw was water and kaiju coming down on top of me." She still hasn't answered one.

"What about Gipsy?" I persist.

"Raleigh wants to see you."

"Mako!"

"And if you go up there then he will tell you. He is in ward 3." I hug her quickly and run out of the room up the stairs to ward 3. In there I see Dominika and Viktoriya talking to each other in quiet voices. I can't make out what they are saying but by the looks on their faces it must be serious. I see Summer and Marshall Hopcroft and a few other people around a bed. The Summer moves and I see Raleigh. I go over. His face lights up when he sees me.

"Hello squirt!"

"Raleigh! You're ok!" I would hug him but his right arm and right leg are in bandages and I don't want to cause any more damage than there already is.

"And why woudn't I be?" He jokes. I glare at him then remember what I wanted to ask.

"What's going to happen to Gipsy?" He sighs.

"Well, she is damaged beyond repair so the Russian President has given permission for the remains of Cherno to be fused with the remains of Gipsy, throw in a few parts and make a new Jaeger."

"I thought you said that I was going to pilot Cherno when he was rebuilt and what will they name the Jaeger? Cherno Danger or Gipsy Alpha or something?"

"I was just coming to that. It will take a while to rebuild so you will still pilot if you pass the drift compatibility test and Mako and I will be piloting one of the new Jaegers, Lyrical Angel which is being commissioned by the Russians."

"But can the president even do that?" I don't see why he should just be able to make Mako and Raleigh pilot a new Jaeger and fuse the remains of Gipsy and Cherno. Raleigh smirks.

"People with money can do whatever they please and the Russian President has a lot of money and power."

"That's not fair!"

"I know but that's the world for you." He smiles, but then his face turns serious. "I hear you said something not very nice to one of the Hansen boys." Oh dear. I had completely forgotten about that. I go red.

"I was scared!" I protest.

"So you took your fear out on this boy?"

"I didn't mean to!"

"Did you apologise?"

"Well… umm…. No not exactly." I say.

"Well don't you think that you should?"

"Yes." I mean, he is my friend after all. "I will go and find him."

"He is with his Mother helping repair her Jaeger. He came by earlier. Looked pretty miserable."

"Bye Raleigh, get better soon." I smile half heartedly and go off, walking slowly. I'm not eager to get there. He is my friend, but I don't like apologising because I don't like admitting I was wrong. Call it a pride thing, but you can't change it. Eventually I arrive in the hangar where James is sitting by Danger's foot. I head over.

"James? I need to talk to you." He pretends that he hasn't heard me. "James? I'm really, really, really a million times over sorry." He turns to face me. His eyes are red and he has a blotchy face. He has obviously been crying. Now I feel really uncomfortable. I hate it when people cry because of me, especially boys.

"You were right you know."

"What?!" Now I am confused.

"With what you said. It was right and even though I didn't like hearing it, you were right."

"No! No I wasn't! I was scared and it was really mean and I definitely don't hate you! Can we please be friends?" He doesn't speak for a bit.

"Well, ok." I smile and give him a hug and he smiles back. And I know that things are going to be ok between us.
