Hello everyone! It seems like everyone loves where this is going, so here's the next chapter.
Enjoy!
Scarlett looked over at Zero and smiled. "I love you." She said through the microphone.
Zero looked over at Scarlett. "I love you, too." He said through his microphone.
Scarlett readjusted her headset. "Altitude?" She asked.
Zero looked at a gauge. "41,324 feet."
Scarlett looked to her right out of their aircraft's windshield. She smiled. "Do you see that?" She leaned out of her seat to see better.
Zero turned to see what Scarlett was looking at. There was a tiny chain of small islands sticking out of the water with incredible blues ringing around it.
"Beautiful." Zero smiled.
"I know right?" Scarlett fixed some of her hair that fell in front of her face.
"I'm talking about you." Zero looked forward again.
"I know." Scarlett laughed lightly.
Suddenly, alarms were blaring and alert lights were flashing. Zero quickly took hold of the private jet's controls and pulled to the left. Scarlett fell back down into her seat to see a missile just miss their plane and land in the water some distance away. It exploded and Scarlett could see the small crater it made by the island chain.
"What weapons does this jet have?" Scarlett asked, flipping switches and turning knobs.
"None!" Zero answered.
Scarlett pressed her headset closer to her ears to hear better. "What?!"
"We're heading to our honeymoon!" Zero yelled for Scarlett to hear. "Why would I stock up on weapons to get us to our goddamn honeymoon?!"
Scarlett took off her headset and gathered the layers of her wedding dress. She stood and moved to a cabinet in the back of the cockpit. She opened it and pulled out what was inside. Zero turned when he heard the cocking of a gun.
"You brought an assault rifle on our honeymoon?" Zero asked as he pushed the jet down a few thousand feet to avoid the plane pursuing them.
"This might be shocking news, but the honeymoon's over." Scarlett sighed.
Zero swore.
Scarlett took an oxygen mask.
"Where the hell are you going?" Zero asked.
"Just keep the jet steady." Scarlett ordered.
She stepped out of the cockpit into the cabin and sealed it off. Zero spoke through the intercom. "Attention everyone. This is your Captain speaking. There is a deranged woman about to walk on top of this jet to shoot down the plane that's following us. She also happens to be my wife. Please leave her to her business."
Scarlett laughed since she was the only other person on the jet other than Zero. She stepped over to the jet door and slammed the open button. Alarms started but she ignored them. The door opened and wind whipped around. The cabin depressurized and Scarlett leaned out of the plane. She took a deep breath through her mask.
Scarlett planted her feet on the side the plane and stood upright. She nodded at herself, impressed.
This was pretty awesome.
She trekked to the top of the jet and swept the horizon. The other plane was incoming. Scarlett waited for the right moment. She threw up a telekinetic shield and starting firing. The plane banked right and fired two other missiles. Scarlett lifted a hand and swiped it to the side. The missiles curved downward on each side of the jet and down into the ocean. She started firing again.
She hit one of engines. It sputtered out smoke as the plane continued its pursuit.
It fired another missile. Scarlett swiped it to the side into the ocean while she ran along the jet towards the back. The plane put on a final push of speed.
Zero pushed the controls forward, jerking the jet forward and faster. Scarlett lost her concentration, and her footing. She was falling off and away from the jet. The ocean was rushing towards her. But this couldn't be the end. She loved Zero too much. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath in her mask. She kept her hands still at her sides.
Scarlett's eyes shot open and she shot upwards into the sky.
The damaged plane shot its last two missiles directly at Scarlett. With only a thought, the missiles aimed straight towards the water and then collided into each other, the explosion ineffective against Scarlett.
Scarlett narrowed her eyes.
The plane crumpled and peeled apart. The engines exploded as debris from the plane dropped into the open water.
Scarlett stared down as the water started to envelope the plane. She plucked the only two men on the plane from their seats and out through the broken windshield. One was the pilot and one bombardier. Scarlett blinked and both of the men's necks snapped to one side. Scarlett let the bodies drop down into the ocean.
She flew back to the open door of the jet and sealed it up. She waited a few minutes for the cabin to pressurize. When the process was complete, Scarlett took her oxygen mask off and let it drop to the ground. She leaned her rifle against the bulkhead.
Zero came rushing out of the cockpit. "Are you alright?" He had set the controls to autopilot.
"I'm fine." Scarlett answered with a weak smile.
"Did you see yourself out there?" Zero held Scarlett close. "All you did was give that plane a look and it was completely destroyed."
"Yeah." Scarlett nodded.
Zero backed away gently. Then his eyes widened. "Oh my God, your noseā¦ It's bleeding."
Scarlett lifted her hand and wiped her fingers under her nose. Her fingers came back with blood. "What the-?"
Zero went to the on-board first aid kit. He pulled out clean dressings and pressed it to Scarlett's nose. Scarlett used the dressing and waited for the bleeding to stop. Then she wiped away the dried blood.
"Doing that was probably too much of a strain for you." Zero explained. "Take it easy, okay?" Zero eased Scarlett down into one of the seats on the jet.
Scarlett nodded and leaned back into the chair. She started to relax. Zero went behind the jet's bar and pull out a pair of glasses and a bottle of champagne. He smiled, holding them up for Scarlett to see.
Scarlett laughed lightly. "Yes, please."
Zero popped the cork and poured the champagne. He handed a glass to Scarlett and sat down across from her. He tapped his glass against Scarlett's. They each took a sip.
"What did you say before about the honeymoon being over?" Zero gave a half-smile, fixing his wedding tuxedo.
"I suppose I spoke too soon." Scarlett took another sip. Then she smiled.
"We're still two hours away from Bora Bora." Zero set his glass down. "That gives us plenty of time to ourselves."
Scarlett smiled. "I think our honeymoon is officially back on." She moved closer to Zero and kissed him.
Zero pulled Scarlett onto him as he reclined his seat. "I love you, Mrs. North."
Scarlett kissed Zero again. "And I love you, Mr. North."
