Bloodfall: I'm Thinking of a Song
When J took me to get a pilot's license, I thought it was a stupid waste of time. He flies a helicopter for one, not an airplane. Today though, I've gotta thank him for it. At least now I sorta know what I'm doing. This thing is massively outdated. Still, I found the throttle and pushed it as hard as I could, no idea if J was behind me or not. As I'm going down the runway, there's nothing but explosions and fire on all sides. The Jet feels like it's gonna rip itself apart before it even lifts off. I see the light at end and start pulling up. While I'm doing this I'm closing me eyes, pretty much expecting the worst. After a good 5 seconds I open my eyes and I just start screaming out of joy. We made it! Nothing but blue arctic skies now! For a bit I was too busy enjoying the fact I was alive, then I remembered J. Shit, I can't see out the back of this thing. He must've made it out, he was right behind me! I let the throttle go for a bit so the jet slows down. Give him a chance to catch up. For a few minutes I'm looking everywhere, starting to fear the worse the longer I don't see him. Just as I though I was the only survivor, J goes from the right and gets into formation. I breathed a sigh of relief. We're going home together. After a minute of calming down I noticed what looked like an old two-way radio. Maybe I can talk to J with this. Would make landing easier. I mess around with it, trying to pick up a signal. I keep calling him name through the mic piece, or whatever it's called, until...
"Linda?..."
"J! Oh thank God, these thigns work... we made it! We're going home."
"Yeah. We are..."
"....Anne was pretty good friend, wasn't she?"
"......"
"I'm really sorry, J. She at least went down fighting. And we got out, like she'd want."
"......"
"Above all, we won, J. We killed what was left of the Nazis, and discovered that some old WWII legends were true! We'll....never get to tell anyone, but still!"
"......."
J's taking Anne's death pretty hard. I don't wanna see him like this, though. I should do something to make him a little happy, but what?......
".....J? Hey, J?"
"...yeah?"
"We're in fighter jets, y'know."
"...what about it?"
"It makes me think of a song. A song you really like."
"What are you--oh for...just no, Linda..."
"I know you really like it, J. You always work out to it. C'mon, let's sing it! You like singing!"
"Linda, no--"
"Revvin' up your engine, listen to her howlin' roar... Metal under tension, beggin' you to touch and go..."
"Please just--"
"Highway to the danger zone!! Right into the danger zone!!
"Seriously, I--"
"Headin' into twilight, spreadin' out her wings tonight... She got you jumpin' off the deck, and shovin' into overdrive!..."
"........"
"Highway to the danger zone!! Gonna take you right into the danger zone!!"
"........"
"What the next part, J?"
"........"
"C'mon, you know the words! I don't wanna sing this by myself, J..."
"........"
"You can do it J, C'mon, be happy. For me?...."
".......You'll never say hello to you until you get it on the red line overload!!! You'll never know what you can do until you get it up AS HIGH AS YOU CAN GOOOOO!!!!"
There's the J I know...
