It felt like an eternity, although it was surely a couple of seconds, as the crew of the R.L.S legacy waited patiently in the dark void. A high pitched ringing came from below, causing them to screw their eyes shut and clamp their hands over their ears.

The ship suddenly jolts harshly, causing everyone to yell at the impact. A bright light suddenly surrounds them as a fiery wave pushes the ship forward, carrying everyone to safety. They manage to ride the wave a safe distance away from the dying star, the crew cheering and hollering in both happiness and relief.

Amelia looks around, her hands shaking slightly from gripping the steering to tight. The crew all turn towards her and yell happily, throwing compliments and thanks at her. She bows her head in gratitude, just happy to still be in one piece.

Morph sighs loudly before slowly sinking to the floor, becoming a puddle of pink goop. Jim looks towards the small creature and smiles in amusement before turning his attention to the shivering girl in his arms. "You alright?" He softly calls, bringing his hands around and cupping the girl's cheeks.

(Y/N) seizes her shaking and looks up at him, tears brimming at the edges of her eyes. Jim flinches slightly, not expecting this kind of reaction. "..am I alright?" She repeats, her head turning to the side as she eyes the nervous boy infront her. "AM I ALRIGHT??" (Y/N) suddenly yells, catching Jim and Silver off guard.

"That was the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me!" She rambles, detaching herself from Jim and pacing around the deck. Silver looks to the boy in question and raises a brow. "Yup..she's alright." Jim concludes, nodding his head along to whatever his best friend was saying.

Before she could continue however, Captain Amelia cuts her off, her attention focused on the cyborg. "Well, I must congratulate you Mr Silver!" She calls out, nodding her head towards the grinning man. "Your cabin boy and girl did a bang-up job with those lifelines, if they hadn't..why this whole plan wouldn't have worked!" Amelia further complements the two teenagers, nodding in thanks.

Silver chuckles and shoves Jim with his shoulder playfully, the boy doing the same with a laugh. Both men turn to eachother and smile, (Y/N) watching from just a few feet away, glad to see their finally getting along.

"All hands accounted for, Mr Arrow?" Amelia suddenly calls out to her First Mate, but receives no reply. She tries again, but receives nothing. The crew look around in confusion before a certain yellow eyed arachnid steps forward. Scroop makes his way towards the Captain, a certain cap in his grasp.

"I'm afraid.." he starts, his voice wavering. "..Mr Arrow has been lost." He says, handing Amelia the cap. "His lifeline was not secure.." the minute those words spill from his lips, all heads turn towards Jim and (Y/N), but Amelia's eyes were directed mainly towards the boy.

"Oh shut up!!" (Y/N) suddenly yells, making her way around Scroop and facing the Captain. "Please, you have to believe me! He checked them all!" She pleads, Amelia shakes her head slightly, turning back to Jim and glaring. "Please Captain!"

"She's right!" Jim yells, "I really did!" He rushes towards the beams, checking every lifeline before making his way towards Arrows, mortified to see it was untied. He turns back towards the Captain, about to beg, plead for her to listen, but Amelia looks away.

"Mr Arrow was a.." she starts, her voice breaking. "Fine spacer, finer than most of us could ever hope to be.." she trie again, gripping her lost friends cap in her claws. "He knew the risks, as do we all." She sucks in a breath, refusing to let her tears fall. "Resume your posts! We must carry on." She suddenly commands, her voice avoided of any emotion.

The Captain turns around and makes her way towards her cabin, her shoulders shaking slightly as she tries desperately to keep her sobs in. Jim watches her leave, guilt written all over his face. He looks down and clench's his fists, his breathing becoming uneven. Jim turns away from Silver and (Y/N), making his way down to the gallery, avoiding all the judgmental stares.

"Should we go talk to him?" (Y/N) suddenly asks, turning towards Silver and looking up at him, a deep frown on her face. "Nah..best let him clear his head." The cyborg says, nodding his head firmly. (Y/N) nods with him, looking down. "He did check all the lines, Silver.." she suddenly says, catching the man off guard.
"He wouldn't risk anyones life."

Silver looks down at her, a small smile making its way onto his face, he reaches forward and softly pats her head. "I believe you lass, I do." He says without hesitation, receiving a grateful smile in return. Silver looks around at the crew before stopping at a certain one, Scroop looks towards the cyborg and smirks, raising his pincers and snapping them, the sound echoing.

Silver glares harshly at the spider, understanding what he meant. He shakes his head and looks away, his hand curled into a fist.

He was going to kill that idiotic spider and keep his pincers as trophies...

3rd POV

Later that same evening, Jim made his way towards the edge of the ship, resting his elbows on the side and sighing, his shoulders slumping. He's to caught up in his own thoughts that he dosnet here the sound of footsteps slowly approaching him.

"Jim.." a voice calls softly, Jim turns around and isn't surprised to see both Silver and (Y/N) standing side by side. He grunts softly before standing straight, releasing a frustrated yell. "For two seconds I thought that maybe I could do something right but.." he rants, cutting himself off with a chocked sob. "I just.." he tries again, the words not comming to him.

"Just forget it." He says, waving his hand dismissively towards the two, who in turn raise their eyebrows at him and fold their arms, not moving a muscle. "You must think we're stupid to leave you in this state." (Y/N) firmly says, her voice steady as Silver nods along with her. "(Y/N) please.." Jim tries to say, not wanting to argue with her.

"I get it you don't want to talk about it" she starts again, walking forward and placing a hand on Jim's shoulder, turning him around so he's facing her. "But try." (Y/N) says more firmly, shaking the boy slightly.

Jim looks down at her and sighs, shaking his head. "..I'm good for nothing." That sentence causes (Y/N)'s eyes to widen. She knew that Jim had never thought highly of himself, but she didn't know it went this deep.

All of a sudden, Silver raises his voice, putting enough emotion as he could. "Now you listen to me Jim Hawkins!" He starts, catching the two off guard. "Ye got the makin of greatness in you. But you gotta take the helm and chart your own course!" He finishes with a smirk, before turning towards (Y/N). "And the same goes for you Cima!" He says, making her eyes widen, she didn't think the old Cyborg had anything he wanted to share with her.

"You are probably the most stubborn women I've ever laid me one good eye on!" He jokes, causing both teens to chuckle. "But ye also have the courage to stand your own, which is somethin others can only dream of havin'!" He finishes, flashing another award winning smile towards the grateful teen. He faces the two, his hands his hips, smilling softly upon noticing a few tears spilling from Jim's eyes.

"Stick to it! No matter the squalls, and when the time comes you get your chance and show what your made of." Silver continues, turning his face towards the sky. "And well, I hope I'm there..catching some of the light comming off you's two on those days." He finishes, smilling softly. He freezes, noticing that both teens were sniffing uncontrollably and wiping their eyes harshly.

Jim take slow steps towards the cyborg, stopping inches away from him. He slowly rests his head against Silver stomach and continues to sniff. Silver freezes at the action before loosening up, wrapping his arms around the boy and engulfing him in a hug. (Y/N) watches a few feet away, laughing softly and wiping her own tears. Silver takes notice and opens one arm, inviting her in.

The girl releases a few short chuckles before jogging forwards and crashing into the cyborgs belly, wrapping one arm around him and another around Jim. Jim wriggles his arm so one is around (Y/N) and the other clutches onto Silvers jacket. "There there.." the cyborg comforts. "It's alright you two.." he pats them on the back gently. "There there."
...

After a moment, Silver clears his throat before detaching himself from the two teenagers, their eyes already dry and sniffs gone. "Now, you two.. I, uh..must be getting about me watch." He says, stumbling over his words, causing both teens to laugh. He points a finger at them, trying to regain his composure. "And you's two should best be gettin some shut-eye!"

He gently sets his hands on their backs and pushes them thirds the stairs leading below the ship. "Night old man!" (Y/N) calls, turning her head back and waving slightly, Jim doing the same. "And a good night to you as well lassie!" Silver calls back, watching as (Y/N) shoves her elbow into Jim's side and races down the stairs, the boy whispering/yelling after her.

Silvers smile drops as he runs the palms of his hands against his face, Morph flying out from behind him and chirping in confusion, the cyborg groaning. "Gettin in to deep here, Morphie.." Silver says softly to the creature. "Next thing ya know..they'll be sayin I've gone soft!" He says with a laugh, turning around and making his way back to his cabin, unaware of the silent threat lurking just above his head.

Scroop watches Silver walk away with a sneer, his grip on the beam becoming more tight by the second. "Captains gettin all chummy with a bunch of rats!" He hisses, his eyes darting towards the stairs where Jim and (Y/N) walked down. The spider huffs before climbing down the beam and making his way to bed, his pincers leaving two small dents in the wood.

It seems he's going to have to knock some sense into his dear o'l Captain.
