Silver's P.O.V
After helping (Y/N) to Amelia, I make my way down to the lower quarters. I put on a carefree smile, hiding my boiling rage behind a nonchalant exterior.
All chatter inside the lower deck halts when I'm noticed.
"So... We're all here, then," I casually greet. Someone brushes me and I see Tiko (I'm gonna make up names for some members since I don't know them) rush past me.
"Excuse me," he quickly says, finding a seat at a table.
Tiko smiles at me and I shrug, still smiling politely.
"Fine," I reply, walking forward a few paces. "Now, if you pardon my plain speaking, gentlemen..." I gently adjust a tentacle on Vlad, who was resting on his twin, Blumar. "Are you all..." My kind voice was dropped, replaced by my volcanic anger, and I shift my hand into my sword, making everyone gasp. "Stark-raving totally blinking daft?!" I bellow, swinging my sword around, aiming for some of the crew as they dodge my blade.
"After all me finagling getting us hired as an upstanding crew..." I glare harshly at Larri, the large alien, making him cower. "You want to blow the whole mutiny before it's time?!" I snarl, facing Scroop.
"The boy and girl were sniffing about," he growls back, lowly.
"You just stick to the plan, you bug-brained twit!" I snarl back, "ya almost killed that Lass!" I take a deep breath.
"As for the two of thems... I'll run them so ragged they won't have time to think." I grin maliciously, making the crew nod in agreement.

Jim's P.O.V
I tap my foot anxiously, sweeping the mop back and forth on the deck.
I let out a sigh, turning to the direction (Y/N) went, hoping she was alright.
Morph flies in front of my face, making cooing gurgling noises.
"What?" I demand with irritation as I scowl, making him giggle.
He splits his body into two pieces, and one becomes a small version of me while the other becomes (Y/N).
I blink at him slowly with an arched brow as I frown, leaning on the mop.
He makes little me and little (Y/N) kiss dramatically, causing my eyes to widen and my face to burn in a blush as I begin to sputter, nearly losing my balance.
Morph changes into himself while cackling loudly, wiping away a 'tear'.
"Morph!" I scold, looking around, thankful no one saw as I scowl with embarassment.
He squeals and flies around as I begin to chase him, Morph squealing and cackling. I catch him and chuckle as he squeals, rubbing against my hand affectionately.
"You little stinker," I laugh, making him gurgle.
I release him and grab my mop, noticing Morph morphing into a mop.
He mops along the deck, and cleans my boot before flying up again, hiccuping a few soap bubbles.
I smile and laugh, but stop when I hear another laugh.
(Y/N)...?
...
(Y/N)'s P.O.V
I finally convinced Amelia to let me go and help out Jim, my head much better.
She said it was a nasty cut, but didn't need stitches. She put some weird medicine on it that she said she had gotten from another planet, so I didn't question it. I was already feeling much better.
I pause when I see Morph as a mop, wiping Jim's shoes. Morph flies up to Jim and hiccups, making bubbles come from his mouth.
I let out a laugh while Jim chuckles, and he instantly stops laughing, turning and facing me with wide eyes.
"(Y/N)...?" He breathes out in disbelief, his face brightening. He drops his mop and runs to me, "(Y/N)!"
"Jim!" I joke enthusiastically, squealing with a laugh when he wraps his arms around me, hugging me while spinning.
"You're alright!" He shouts with a laugh of disbelief and I chuckle.
"Yes! Yes! Now put me down, oaf!" I wheeze out as he hugs me tightly.
He slowly sets me down but doesn't unwrap his arms around me. He smiles down at me and gently places his forehead against mine, smiling even wider if possible.
My cheeks heat up at this and he stares into my (E/C) eyes with his baby blue ones.
"I'm so glad," he breathes out, hugging me again.
Our little moment was interrupted by Morph making tons of gurgling noises, and we pull away from each other to look at him.
He morphs into Silver, and starts to mock-lecture us, much as Silver did earlier.
"Ah, he wants us to get back to work," Jim grumbles, and I look over at him.
"How do you know?" I question.
"Because he's been doing that to me every time I tried to sneak off to find you," Jim grumbles, a hint of red on his cheeks.
I feel my heart warm at this before grabbing a mop.
"Well, let's get to it!" I cheerfully grin, making him smile.
"I really missed ya, (Y/N)."
It was so quiet I barely heard it, and Jim no doubt intended for me not to.
I decide not to reply, but I do grin widely to myself as I make the mop wet.
"Well, this has been a fun day, huh?" I speak to Morph when he passes me, Morph cooing softly as he floats near me.
Morph smiles a gummy grin and follows me to Jim.
"Making new friends," Jim chortles, "like that spider psycho." Jim waves his fingers at me and Morph with a serious glare, making me laugh.
Morph morphs into Scroop, raising his claws and wiggling his legs, "Spider pyscho, spider pyscho!"
I stand next to Jim as Morph does this to the both of us and Jim and I laugh.
"Heh! A little uglier," Jim side grins to me, making my heart flutter.
Morph Scroop turns his head, before turning back, his face enlarging and becoming more insane-looking and uglier as he lets out a laugh, "Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!!"
I laugh loudly with amusement, grinning from ear to ear, "pretty close!"
Morph Scroop shrugs at me before switching back to himself.
"Well..." Silver's voice speaks, making Jim and I face him. "Thank heavens for little miracles!" He walks over with a pot full of old stew, and he dumps it over the edge. "Lassie is all better now... And Jimbo was up here for an hour and the deck is still in one piece!"
Jim looks over at me and down to his mop.
"Um... Look... I, uh..." Jim stammers, looking anywhere but at Silver. "What you did..."
"Thank you, Silver... You saved my life," I thank Silver, placing a reassuring hand on Jim's shoulder.
"Yeah... Seriously, thank you," Jim looks over at Silver, then at me.
Silver pauses his actions for a moment, glancing over at us.
"Didn't your paps ever teach you to pick your fights more carefully?"
Jim and I both look at each other, the good mood suddenly turning sour.
Jim looks away and I rub my arm.
"... Yer fathers ain't the teachin' sort?"
"... No," Jim speaks, his voice low. "He was more the... Taking off and never coming back sort." Jim harshly scrubs the floor, and I follow suit, however I slowly mop.
I set my mop down and lean over the edge of the ship, Jim following suit on my left.
"Oh..." Silver mumbles out, joining us on my right. "Sorry, lad."
"Hey, no big deal. I'm doing just fine with (Y/N)," Jim nonchalantly replies, but I can tell he was bothered. I place my hand on his arm and he grabs it with his other hand, squeezing it gently.
"Is that so?" Silver mumbles. "What about you, Lassie? What about your pap?"
I pause and Jim's hand squeezes mine tighter as I shut my eyes tightly.
"... He was killed. He... And my Mom..." I pause, swallowing. "There was a fire... And..." The words caught in my throat, and I let out a shaky breath.
I feel a warm hand on my back by my shoulder blade, and I realize it's too large to be Jim's.
Silver pats my back comfortingly before removing it.
"'S alright, Lass. Ya don't have ta say no more," he quietly replies.
It was quiet before Silver suddenly clears his throat.
"Well!" He cheerfully yells, making Jim and I look at him. "Since the Captain has put the two of ya's in my charge... Like it or not, I'll be pounding a few skills into those thick heads of ya's to keep ya out of trouble!" Silver grins, poking Jim's forehead with one hand and mine with the other.
Jim smacks his hand away, while I simply giggle.
"What?!" Jim demands, confused.
"From now on, I'm not letting you twos out of me sight!" Jim looks over at me, flabbergasted.
"Y-You can't do--" Jim was cut off by Silver.
"You won't so much as eat, sleep, or scratch ye bums without my say-so!" Silver states, making me laugh while Jim shakes his head, wrapping an arm around my shoulder.
"Don't do us any favors!" Jim shouts in protest, and Silver simply smirks.
"Oh! You can be sure of that, my lad and Lassie." He wraps a large arm around the two of us, looking down at us with his golden cyborg eye, "yous can be sure of that."
...
In case you guys forgot, in the chapter "Beware the Cyborg" you froze when you heard the fire roaring.
*Insert Morph crazy laughing* I am excited for the next chapter.
Sorry this chapter was so short, again!
