[x] Commander Kazinski is next door, Jess. Go say hi!

“Commander Kazinski is next door, Jess. Why don't you go say hi?” You wheeze.

You sister pops up like she's got a rocket booster strapped to her back. “Tabby's next door? I'mma go see her!” She says, running out the room and hammering on Ice and Katya's door.

Given the shout of surprise, Ice opened it.

You struggle back to your feet and head into the hall yourself, noting a pair of witches, about your sister's age, standing outside Ice's door.

The taller of the two, a blonde with her hair cut short and round-lensed glasses, looks at you, her eyes wide.

“Is-is she always like that?” She asks, her voice incredulous.

“Yeah, pretty much. Unless she's sleeping or otherwise unconscious.” you say, causing the other one of the witches to giggle a bit.

“How much caffeine has she had” You ask, watching your struggling CO try to dislodge your giggling sister, both of them clearly using magic at this point.

“Well, um...” the blonde starts, looking at her shoes. “Uh... well, I mean, um...”

“She's had about three cans of coke.” her compatriot says. “And a cup of coffee.”

“Aw jeeze.” You groan.

[x] welp. Family motto, and all that. Can't let Ice deal with this alone.

Once upon a time, you used your family motto as an excuse to go into a suicidal fight and get shot to pieces to protect people you barely didn't even know.

You figure that was probably less stressful than dealing with your sister.

At least, it felt less stressful.

“So, you're her academy friends, huh?” You ask, brushing past them and into Ice and Katya's room. The blond nods.

“Classmates in advanced flight. They rolled our classes together so hers could graduate earlier.” She says.

“Ah, wonderful. Well, if she hasn't already told you, I'm Lieutenant Commander Frank Bishop. The young witches' eyes get wide.

“S-she wasn't lying then?” The blonde asks, her voice in awe. “The Eagle of Tanana is really her brother? She's really your sister?”

You have to think about the statement for a second. “That's a pretty bad nickname. Who gave it to me?”

“That's what they called you on the news a few days later, when they were still replaying it almost nightly.” The shorter witch says.

“ah well.” you muse, plotting your course of attack on your sister. “Can't win 'em all, I guess.”

It takes you a few seconds to pull your giggling sister off your thrashing CO, but working with her classmates, you finally get Jessica to deal with everyone else present like a normal human- by talking while everyone is comfortable, as opposed to sitting on them.

[] Other! (Introductions!)

“So, Jessica.” You say, deliberately placing yourself in a position where you can intercept her if she tries to 'introduce' herself to Katya, who's quite alarmed, it looks like. “You never did introduce your classmates to us.”

“Oh yeah!” she says, looking around at them.

“The taller one is Elizabeth Bowman! She's really, really good, but she's kinda quiet. The other one, the one with the black hair? That's Victoria Doe. She's a nightwitch!”

“I really wish you wouldn't tell everyone that.” Victoria says, sighing. “They always seem to think all nightwitches are supposed to be all shy and withdrawn and shit.”

You grin. “Well, I suppose that's fair. Lemme introduce you to My comrades here. The one that my sister attacked is Commander Tabitha Kazinski. The other one over there, the quiet one? That's Katya Litvyak.”

All three of the young witches eyes get huge when you say Katya's name. It's like invoking some spell or some shit.

“Li- Litvyak? Like... like...” Victoria stammers.

Katya nods, smiling slightly. “My grandmother.” she says, her accent almost undetectable.

1/2

Elizabeth turns to your sister. “Y-your brother is the Eagle of Tanana, and his commander is the white witch, and he's the pilot we keep hearing about that flies with... with...”

Jess is soaking up the attention with a smile. “Yep! And they even gave me a nickname already! Octane!”

“It fits.” Victoria says, bluntly. You find yourself nodding in agreement with the statement.

“So where are the folks?” You ask Jessica. She shrugs. “Asleep I think. Mom and Dad said they had a lot to do tomorrow, and I snuck out after they were asleep because I knew Liz and Vic were in town. We met up and then some girls from school said they were up training for night flight and said they saw a weird looking jet landing and I knew it had to be you cos it had dad's unit crest on the tailfins and so Vic talked to them and they trailed your car to the hotel so we came over here to see you!”

“I...see” you say, Taking a second to process your sister's sentence. “So where are mom and dad staying?”

“Mom got them rooms at the witch house on the river!” she says. “They're really nice, and there's a great old matron that runs the place, knows mom really well. She makes the best waffles! But we're gonna leave after the Christmas ball and- “ she stops to look at you.

“Heyyyyyyy.” She says. “Why are YOU here anyway?”

[] Same reason as you, I guess. Christmas ball.

“Sorry Jess, that's classified.” you say, shaking your head.

“It is?! Not it isn't! Is it? Really?” She says, shocked.

You grin. “Of course not. We're here for the Christmas ball.” You say.

Jessica beams. “I knew it! Mom and dad brought a set of really nice blues for you and Dad said he'd have to wear his just cos his ribbons weren't going to look as good as yours if you kept up like this and then he said he'd have to remind you that they don't award repeat clusters on the medal of honor and he'd have to kick your ass for that stunt over Tanana.”

Katya yawns. “If you don't mind, I am very tired. It was wonderful to meet you Jessica Bishop, but I think I'd like to get some sleep.”

“Yeah, I wouldn't mind that either. It was nice to meet you girls, but we'll have to talk tomorrow.” Ice adds.

“Awwwww.” Jessica pouts. As you shoo her out. “But I wanted to hear stories!”

“Tomorrow, Jess.” you say, Yawning yourself. Good god, what time is it? It can't be that late. Jet lag is a bitch, but you hand-flew the Wyvern, and you're beat.

“I'm going to go to bed too. You ougghta get back before mom and dad find out you left.” You say.

“It's ok!” she says. “I left a note, I'm going to stay with you tonight!”

You sigh. As much as you want to tell her no, she is your little sister- and while you seem to be acquiring those at an alarming rate, she's been your little sister since day one.

Well, at least since you were seven.

Either way, you can't bring yourself to tell her no.

“Fine. But I just flew in from our base, I'm very tired, so you'll have to either read quietly or go to bed at the same time, because I have to be up at oh-six, alright?” You say.

She nods her head rapidly. “Ok Frank!” she says, giving her classmates a look that says 'I told you so'.

Part of you suspects she's showing off for them- proving that her brothers are really who she says they are. You can only imagine how insufferable she is in class sometimes.

You go back to your room before Merlin's even out of the shower- she's enjoying the hot water here, just as much as you were enjoying it in your new building. While it's not usually an issue, you've still got a healthy enjoyment for hot water when you can get it, and that applies almost universally across the squadron.

Your sister flops out on Merlin's bed and you sigh, Imagining Merlin’s reaction. Still, she's capable of handling herself, and you've no doubt someone will wake you up if it's an issue. You peel off your won flight suit and crawl beneath the sheets, Falling asleep almost as soon as your head hits the pillow.
