    Summary

    The thing about time rifts was that, while most people who’d ever sailed a boat or flown a plane had heard of them, almost nobody believed in them. They were like UFOs or the Bermuda Triangle in that way.

    Two years after Top Gun, Maverick encounters an urban legend, gets thrown back in time, and saves Goose's life. It doesn't fix things the way he thought it would. Goose is alive, but he hasn't forgotten what it's like to grieve for him. Goose is by his side, but Iceman doesn't even know him anymore.

    The official statement is still that nobody knows what happened in Paris. Nobody knows how the mimics destroyed themselves. Cage is quite happy to toe that line.

    Summary

    Bradley wakes up late on Tuesday morning. It's the third week of classes and he'd stayed up too late in the lounge with the other guys watching the game. His alarm should have gone off at 7:30, but he probably forgot to set it the night before. He wakes up to a pounding on his door at 8:50, and by 8:55 the world has changed.

    Going to war. Uncle Wood says they're going to war and yeah, Bradley thinks to himself dumbly, that makes sense. But if the nation is going to war, his entire family is going with it.
    -----
    Or: Bradley hasn't spoken to his family in a year, when he stormed out and never looked back. Now, the World Trade Center is in flames and his family is being deployed. Returning home is never simple, but maybe it can start with a phone call.
