"Hey sis you in?" Thunderbolt calls out as you slide in by the door, ready to run out and have Sidney kill you rather than have to deal with the Yandere that traumatized you. Talk about awkward, Thunderbolt's so nice compared to her sister.
"Hey Warthog you dolt, Anon's in our hangar." Thunderbolt says as you instinctively go into your pockets and grab a handful of rusted bolts just in case you needed to cheeki breeki a bitch.
"Oh yea that's right, she's not allowed to leave the Wonderbolt's compound. Silly me, how could I forget something like that." Thunderbolt said as you now slide down the wall of her hangar relieved that the Yandere isn't here.
"Thanks for the near heart attack. Please don't do that again Thunder." You say as you put the bolts back in the bag you keep them in.
"Just make yourself comfortable Anon. I'll get dinner started." Thunderbolt says as she goes off into the kitchen of her hangar to make something that you hoped would be edible for you.
Everything in her home was oversized to fit their proportions, so having to climb up onto a couch wasn't really a problem, but more tiring that anything else.
You swore you fell asleep on top of the couch before waking up on Thunderbolt's table to the smell of something that you thought you'd never ever eat again. Bacon.
"Where in god's name did you get bacon?" You ask with your mouth watering for the greasy gift of the gods, well the meat eating gods anyways.
"Well, some of the gryphons owed me a favor after I screamed at a few of the gliders in their airspace. This was it, I don't even know what it is, but they said humans love it." Thunderbolt said as you were too busy eating to listen to where exactly it came from and how old it was. You didn't care if it made you ill, it was bacon and it was delicious.
"What was it you yelled at my sister again?" Thunderbolt asked.
"Can we please not send me to that place. I have nightmares whenever I even hear her name mentioned." You say after inhaling the bacon
"Well, what was it you yelled? That won't cause any harm would it?" Thunderbolt asked as she looked you in the eyes.
"I may as well Thunder, I'm going to end up with nightmares anyways." You say before recounting the horrors that was the third time you've ever dealt with Warthog.
"You stupid fucking Yandere! Are you trying to fucking kill me! Get out of my shop! Get out! Flanker! Fyodor! Hell Phantom! Get this psycho out of my shop!" you say in a very vivid recall of your own terror.
"Right, you called in the Su-27s and Phantom to restrain her. Sorry about that." Thunderbolt said as she looked away from you.
"Thunder, it wasn't your fault. She just doesn't have very much restraint that's all. Hey, don't be so upset about it. I still owe you remember? You saved my skin today, I think I can put up with Warthog again if I had to, as long as you're there Thunder." You say as you get her to look at you again.
"Hm, you still owe me that date don't you." Thunderbolt says with a hint of love in her voice.
"Yea I do. This doesn't count. I fell asleep on you already, if you're counting this I really wouldn't this is really crappy." You say as she pulls you off the table and places you on her back.
"You know I wasn't done eating." You say as you look back to see that actually you were. You just didn't pay attention to what you were cramming into your mouth because of bacon.
"Oh, I guess I was. Nevermind then." You say as the air is filled with awkwardness between both you and Thunderbolt.
"I.. I guess we sh.. should g..go to bed." Thunderbolt said stumbling over her words.
"I guess so. I hope I don't wake you." You say as she carries you off to her bedroom.
The both of you sleep on the same bed, but far from eachother, as the awkwardness of being near another A-10 makes you wary of Yandere, and she's awkwardly in love with you.
You wake up in a cold sweat and holding onto Thunderbolt's foreleg, terrified.
"Anon are you ok?" Thunderbolt asks as she notices youre awake
"Yea, I'm OK Thunderbolt." You say as you wipe the cold sweat off of yourself.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Thunderbolt asks as you sit up next to her.
"Yea, I told you I was. I'll be alright, I hope I didn't wake you or anything Thunder." You say as you lay back down and try to go back to sleep.
"Thunder?" You ask as you notice she's not next to you.
"Shh, I'll keep you safe Anon. Don't you worry." Thunderbolt says as she lays down over you leaving you in the gap between her neck and her forelegs. Effectively Thunderbolt cocooned you with her body protecting you from all sides in a dark, but warm space. You proceed to go back to sleep in this warm space listening to her breathing. In this comfort it's only a matter of seconds before you're asleep.
Same night, four hours earlier. 2200hrs. Russian VTOL hangar.
"So, what did you two bring me?" Pyotr asked as Sasha and Sergei returned home.
"Very little, understand we got carried away with Lightning the newer VTOL. Pyotr talk to Anon, see what he can relay." Sergei said as he looked at the PAK-FA sitting in the dark.
"Little one does not want to be associated with his sister. Uses terms I barely understand. Sorry we did not bring you more Pyotr." Sasha said as she walked off to her room.
"Well, at least I know the brat won't get in the way. Or even be around her for that matter." Pyotr said as a smile creeped across his hidden face.
"What are you planning? You know ops doesn't like us fighting each other. Even if she is your biggest competition, you shouldn't be trying to fight her. There will be a day you will Pyotr." Sergei said as Pyotr excused himself from the VTOLs' hangar.
"I am only planning to surprise her." Pyotr said as Sergei caught the drift of what he was saying.
"Pyotr, her brother did say she was whorish.Never took you for that type of chaser. Not to mention that AV-8." Sergei said informing the PAK-FA of a couple of weaknesses.
"Good work Sergei. I'll see that we commend our comrade. I have many things to do. Many things." Pyotr said as he left the hangar leaving Sergei alone in his thoughts.
Sergei sighed as the hangar door closed after Pyotr left. Left on the table was a bottle of vodka, and so begins Sergei's binge drinking. Sergei's drinking usually clears his mind enough to break it of the normal pattern of him then Sasha, with that it took him mere seconds to figure out what Pyotr was going to do. The only thing that the T-50 was good at. Ambushing lesser aircraft.
Sergei walked over to his sister's room to check on her, only found her crying with the door closed. It took him a moment to build up some confidence to knock on her door.
"Sasha, are you alright?" Sergei asked after he knocked.
30mm rounds ripped through her door as an answer. "I'm far from alright Sergei! Did you see that big slow bitch he was with!" Sasha said with an intensifying rage.
"Sasha, he has his own feelings. Not everything is about you. Sister, please don't do this again. He's already had one accident with another, an A-10 at that too. Don't do the same with him." Sergei said trying to impart is wisdom from all the times he and Anon have talked during his repairs.
"Another A-10?" Sasha asked
"Yes another A-10. If I am remembering correctly, Thunderbolt's sister." Sergei said as his memory now started to fade out due to the vodka now having detrimental effects on him.
"Either he's insane or got a lot of balls. I like that." Sasha said as she started to calm down a little.
"Don't go making it about yourself again Sasha."
"If I wanted to do that Sergei, I'd start talking about the little one. You know as well as I do that Pyotr has something nasty planned for that F-22." Sasha said as she managed to get Sergei back on the question of the night. What the fuck is Pyotr doing.
"Are you being selfless for once Sasha?"
"What?" Sasha asked very conflicted about what her brother just asked. Being selfless was his job not hers.
"You want to protect Lightning from Pyotr don't you?"
"You think I want to protect him?" Sasha said as she questioned her brother.
"What?" Sergei said as his central computers were hazed over by the effects of alcohol.
"Lightning's actually kinda cute."
"Sasha! Mixing NATO and Russian, that's not going to be a good mix on the base."
"Look at the veterans Sergei, Allied ponies shooting the shit with Axis ponies. You and I are out of service like the old timers. I think I can."
"But Lightning is in service. What are you thinking?"
"He and I are similar in design. if you don't remember our design bureaus worked together for a short while." Sasha said bringing up design similarities like their rear lift turbine and their forward lift fan.
"I'll give you that, you two are similar. but are you certain you want to get in that mix of AV-8 and F-22?" Sergei said never bringing their names into the conversation.
"So, it's agreed then? We're bringing Lightning into our home?"
"Not completely." Sergei said as there was a few bricks thrown at their hangar. "Hey you two shut the fuck up before you wake Bear. If you wake his noisy ass up I swear on Stalin's grave I'll go and murder you two myself." Fyodor an Su-24 yelled wishing that the noisiest plane on the base was not woken.
"Sasha, perhaps it is time for us to be quiet.'
"Then it is my turn to drink. Sleep Sergei, sweet dreams." Sasha said as she walked to the kitchen regretting shooting her door with her gun. Though now was time for her to drink all conscious thought into oblivion.
 
2400 hrs. Raptor and Lightning's hangar.
Lighting was alone in his room digesting what he heard from the Russians today.
"I know they're retired and aren't fielded anymore, but damned they know a lot about us. Sasha seems to know a creepy amount about me. She seems pretty nice at that too. Sucks that Raptor probably won't let me talk to them again if she hears I've been talking to them. What do I do?" lightning thought as he laid awake on his bed as the rest of the hangar was dead quiet he came home to Sid passed out on the couch and Raptor was nursing an injury
Hey Lightning, you still awake?" Raptor asked as she cracked open Lighting's door.
"Yea I'm still awake." Lightning said as he laid there.
"Sid busted my radome. Fuckin asshole. There's only one tech I trust on this base to make this type of repair, but he's probably just going to laugh at me." Raptor said as she leaned on the door frame.
"He might not. You don't know Raptor until you go. Unless you're that self conscious about that."Lighting said not really revealing that he apologized to Anon for shooting up his shop.
"What in the name of Celestia, you're going righteous on me. Damn it. Why'd you go useless all the sudden?" Raptor said.
"Useless? Excuse me, at least I can multirole, not very well, but I can." Lightning said getting mad at his sister.
"I... I'm sorry Lighting. I guess I've just had a rough night."
"You've done that to yourself, but I understand, and wish you would stop. I understand Sid would have no friends otherwise, but you got to stop this. You're only going to get us both in deep shit. Last thing I want it to tangle with the Flankers. Let alone the cheating bastard." Lightning said as Raptor's face went blank in the dark, but with Lighting's advanced night vision sensors he could see it.
"T-50." Raptor said shuddering at the thought of the ambush king. The only one that it seemed T-50 did not ambush was other Russians or Anon, the first time Anon was ambushed he threw bolts into his intake all the while screaming Cheeki Breeki, whatever the hell that meant, but it taught T-50 not to ambush him.
"Well, you going to go and see Anon about the Radome?" Lightning asked changing the subject.
"It's not that bad, there's a little interference with my radar, but I'm still capable. If it falls off I'll go to him for a replacement and claim battle damage." Raptor said as she pushed herself off the door frame.
"Night little bro. Love you." Raptor said as she left Lightning's room
"I know. You just be careful. Love you too sis" Lighting said.
Lighting was relieved to have Raptor out of his room. Gave him time to think, and his thoughts turned to the Russian VTOLs. Primarily Sasha, she had the same style of lift system he did, the vectored thrust off her turbine was exactly the same as his, their forward lift fans only differed in size. He started to wonder if she was supersonic or not.
Lightning looked outside at the clear night sky and thought about going for a flight to clear his mind, but in the dark even with how good his night vision and radar is, the T-50 was a hard guy to spot. This was the major deciding factor for him to stay inside, out of sight and safe.
Lightning couldn't sleep, and morning was coming fast, so he had to try. He focused on the one thing that baffled him the most, Sasha, the Yak-141.
 
Morning Raptor and Lightning's 0830 hrs.
Lightning was washing his sheets to cover up an accident he had last night. Sid was hung over, and barely stirring, Raptor was more concerned with her nose to even notice him doing laundry.
"Raptor where are the dryer sheets?" Lightning asked as he rarely ever does laundry.
"They should be on top of the dryer, why? Your room smell like Jet-A again?" Raptor asked as she was taping her nose.
"Yea, my room smells. Probably because of my sheets.' Lightning said as he was now really relieved of his wet dream not being discovered.
"Wait, is the washer running? Are you actually doing laundry?" Raptor asked as Lighting stood mouth agape terrified of being found.
"I'm so proud of you little bro! But seriously now you can do your own. I've got enough shit with my own and Sid's." Raptor said with two tones first of excitement, and the second monotone explanation.
"I'll try, no promises Raptor." Lightning said as he attempted to laugh it off.
