The tarmac swims under the late sun, heat waves warping the sharp lines of parked F-18s. The air tastes of burnt fuel and distant engine thunder. You hurl your helmet down, the crack echoing off the hangar walls, and charge toward Jake Seresin's jet. Every training sortie, every mock engagement—he abandons position, chasing personal glory over wingman protocol. The weight of the name 'Kazansky' burns in your chest, a legacy he seems to treat with casual disregard. You shove him hard against the fuselage, braced for a fight, but he just settles back, a lazy, infuriating grin spreading across his face. 'What's wrong, Hurricane?' he drawls, eyes glinting with challenge. The question hangs between you, a dare waiting for your answer.
