Landing in the Past & Planning (Part 5)
As Emma was on her way to find Mia, her mind was racing so fast with so many questions that she didn’t notice that she crashed into Aiden, with them both landing on the floor, neither of them expecting the impact.
Emma heard a thud in front of her but still hadn’t realized what had happened.“Ow,” Emma exclaimed while rubbing her leg.
“What even happened?” Emma confusedly muttered to herself. Emma looked up as she heard a chuckle from in front of her, turns out it was Aiden who was slowly getting up with the help of his boyfriend Austin, who Emma didn’t even see run down the hallway when he saw his boyfriend after fall down because of their little accident.
What is happening to me? Why aren't I paying attention? As her mind raced with questions on how she was even in this mess to begin with, she didn’t see the hand that was outstretched towards her.
She looked up to get a glimpse of who the hand belonged to and it turned out it was Aiden. They were both staring at her in what seemed to be concern and Emma was once again confused until she realized she hadn’t moved nor said anything in the past minute.
Right, right, I should properly get up now. Emma sighed and grabbed the hand that was outstretched to her, as she got up Aiden started speaking and this time Emma was paying attention.
“Are you alright Emma?, you're not hurt are you” Aiden said in concern, as his inner medic came out, already checking to make sure nothing was broken. “I’m fine Aiden,” she responded as she swatted his arm away from her, to stop him from checking to make sure she was fine.
“Alright then, we’ve got to go. Bye Emma!” Aiden exclaimed. Suddenly her mind snapped back to it’s racing questions before she had fallen to the ground.
Maybe Austin will know why Mia’s going on the mission. Before she could stop her mouth from moving she had already shouted after them. “Wait!. Austin, do you know why Mia’s going on the recon mission? I mean she does them, it's just rare, I mean why would she go on this one, what’s so important about this mission?” Emma began to ramble but she stopped herself with a sheepish smile.
Aiden and Austin gave each other a look and smiled back at her. She wondered what that look was supposed to be and what it was supposed to mean.
It was Austin who responded this time. “You’ll have to ask her yourself, I think she’ll tell you...and then some,” They both laughed this time surprising Emma.
What was that meant to mean? Why can’t they just tell me why Mia’s going on the mission. Stupid secrets. It would save a lot more time if they just told me! After all, we have a mission today.
Emma thinking of the mission finally walked out of the hallway and into the room that was acting as their command center for the mission.
