Plot Bunnies: Ava Kazansky
Ava had promised her dad at a young age that she would never join the military- something she found hypocritical but understandable. She especially understood after he began to get sick- you kept your loved ones where you could keep them safe.
That didn’t mean she didn’t dip her toes into the TOPGUN lifestyle in her own way, waitressing at The Hard Deck. She frequently kept in touch with Bradley Bradshaw throughout the years and was ecstatic- to a certain degree- that he was making his way back to Fightertown, USA.
So were a number of TOPGUN elites though, all vying for a spot on the special squad forming for a supposed-to-be-classified mission. (“Loose lips sink ships” must not apply to drunk fighter pilots.)
But perhaps the deadliest fighter pilot to Ava herself? Jake “Hangman” Seresin.
