Summary
None of it happened on purpose. None of it was supposed to happen.
For Babe and Gene, going to war involves a lot more finding home than either of them had expected. It's not quite that simple, of course, because nothing in war ever is, but it's closer than you might think.

Summary
Eugene thought he might would like jumping if it was under different circumstances. Almost enjoyed the way his breath got caught in his throat as soon as he was out of the plane. The pleasant weather on his face. How the adrenaline pumped through his entire body. The way he felt almost weightless. Just how much of the world he could see all at one time.
However none of that mattered over the way his heart pounded with dread and fear. Nothing could possibly drown out how sick he felt at all the things that could go wrong that kept running through his mind in endless wave after wave. Anyone could get tangled in their shoot on the way down. Enemy planes could roar overhead and open fire on them, while they were in the air. Someone could break their jaw on equipment not properly tied down on themselves. Far too easy to break a leg or an ankle upon landing.
OR: Eugene gets injured in the jump into Holland and tries to keep his wound to himself. New replacement Babe is having none of that.
