Loyalty
"And that's a kill.", said Mavericks scratchy voice through the comms as Phoenix swore under her breath and punched the canopy.
They landed the bird as her and Bob hopped out. Hondo smiled mischievously as he counted. He reached two hundred as the few annoyed aviators hopped to their tired feet.
Phoenix and a few others got in pushup position on the hard pavement as he began once again. About halfway through as the sweat dripped into their eyes so did the evening sun just above the horizon. Phoenix looked up instinctively and blinked away the golden spot the bright sun left in her iris's. Turning her head back toward the pavement she saw Bob to her right. What was he doing, he wasn't the one flying earning the push up punishment.
He held his own, in fact he made it look easy, though she saw the beads of sweat that dripped over the tufts of hair pointed toward the ground.
Suddenly Hondo said 200 and they found their feet beneath them.
A few breaths to catch and she looked over at her back seater. "Why'd you do that?", she asked.
"We're a team.", he replied.
She looked at him puzzled still.
Bob smiled wiping his forehead with the outer shirt he'd removed. "Whether or not you're in the pilots seat, and whether or not we're up there or down here I've got your back. That doesn't change.", he said casually, still breathing slightly heavy as they stood under their jets nose.
Phoenix smiled and nodded. "Agreed, same here.".
Okay too mushy. Phoenix rolled her eyes and threw her arm around Bob's neck. "Come on.".
