Chloe nodded to herself and headed to her dorm to change.

Chloe walked out and bumped into Luke. She looked up, realizing how much taller he was then her. I really am the youngest leader aren't I? she thought in surprise. Snapping out of her thoughts she cleared her throat. "Alright, let's go." she said.

Chloe felt her face flush slightly in embarrassment at her height. She cleared her throat again and turned down the hallway. "I'm fine, let's go." she said.

Chloe grabbed her wing pack and headed towards the shuttle door. "Ready?" she asked, looking up at him.

Chloe bit her tongue to stop from giving a sharp retort and instead rolled her eyes. "We'll check the cloud cover first." she said, hitting the button. As the door flew open she dove out, diving a little before opening her wings.

"Shadow warriors. Whenever we let our guard down they decide to attack either civilians or Cloud9 itself." Chloe said, shuddering as she remembered one of the large battles near the aircraft.

Chloe looked after him, giving a small smile. She jumped and turned when she thought she saw something pass in the corner of her eye. Stopping her flight, the leader hovered in the air, looking around her suspiciously.

Chloe turned to call to him when a force knocked her in the back. With a gasp, she fell down, feeling someone wrap their hands around her, restricting her movements. Biting her attackers hand, she managed to kick free, whirling around to see a tall, black-haired man. To her horror, she spotted his wings. All black. "Luke! We're under attack!" she yelled again.

Hearing the whir of wings, Chloe managed to dodge in time as another male shadow warrior flew down at her. The leader narrowed her eyes, diving and kicking the man in the gut and rolling away before he could lash out.

The man turned and grunted, gasping as his breath was lost. Filled with anger at the attack, Chloe dove at the man, grabbing onto him as she began to dive down.

Chloe glances over and freezes in terror, watching Luke fall. "Luke!" she screamed, kicking away the other man and diving after him.

Chloe let out a sigh of relief, falling into flight beside him. "Land right now! You're wounded!" she yelled over the wind.

"Land now! That's an order!" Chloe yelled. She tried to stay strong, but every moment they were in the air she grew more terrified.

Chloe managed to grab him and pull him into Cloud9 before he could fall from the sky. Two warriors from another unit ran up to meet her in a panic. "Get medics! Now!" she ordered as they ran off. Chloe laid Luke flat on the ground, her hands shaking. "You're going to be fine, you understand?" she said.

"Keep talking to me. Tell me exactly what happened." Chloe said, trying to keep her voice from shaking. She began to unbutton his uniform so when the medics came they could clean his wound.

"Luke? Luke stay with me!" Chloe yelled as the medics rushed in with a gurney. They pulled the young leader back and lifted him onto the wheeled bed, rushing him out of the launch area and to the hospital room. "Luke!" she yelled after him, struggling against two older men. "Let me go." she begged them.

"Only the patient and disinfected people are allowed into the hospital room. You need to wait out here." they told her.

Chloe slumped against the wall and buried her face in her hands. "Oh God..." she whispered.

Chloe is escorted back to her room, turning one last time to the two guards. "You need to alert me whenever Luke is awake and well. You understand? I don't care if it's in an hour, or three, or five. Tell me." she ordered. The guards nodded and shut the door behind her. Chloe slumped into her bed, burying her face in her arms.

"Rest, Luke." One of the medics said, giving him sleeping medicine.

Chloe felt tears fall down her face as she tried to stop them from coming out.

OOC: wanna timeskip?
IC: The medics went back to work on him, inspecting his wound and stitching him up quickly.

Chloe laid down in her bed, deciding to get some rest. Sleep was hard to come by, but she eventually managed to find it.

Chloe was sitting in her room, filling out paperwork to distract her from Luke when she heard a knock on her door. "Yes?" she called.

"Sir? It's Luke. He's awake." the voice said, muffled though audible through the door. Chloe's eyes widened. She swung the door open and ran down the hall toward the hospital room. "Sir!" she heard the call faintly behind her as she sped off.
