Chapter 15 - Abandoned.

A blue planet, with kilometers high waves.

Ezekiel observed as a wave of kilometers height approached to their way, he looked at Brandon, who was still in search and Cooper who seem to be realizing the fact.

Brand: "There is nothing here" while looking under the water with her hands.

CASE: "It should be around here" as if touched by something, he started digging, and took the broken beacon out in the open.

Brand: "Where is the rest?" she looked up and saw the wave which had previously passed through here, and from the distance it made it look like mountains, "its towards the mountains".

Ezekiel: "CASE bring Brand back, even using force if needed".

CASE didn't seem to object and went at full speed towards Brand.

Cooper: "Those are not mountains, those are waves" he ran behind and saw through the window the huge waves coming towards them and the ship, "get back inside, we don't have any time" he screamed as he prepared himself.

Brand looked at Ezekiel and Cooper, "we are not leaving without the data".

Cooper: "Get back NOW".

CASE seemed to ignore the talk of Brand and took her forcefully and went towards the ship.

Ezekiel already entered inside, and waited for the stupid woman to come.

Brand: "Leave me we need the data to further study…" but she shut up after seeing the wave behind the ship.

CASE got inside the ship with Brand, and the ship too flew up just right seconds before it was hit by the wave.

--

In their view was presented a slightly older aged Romilly who seemed to have woken up from his sleep.

Brand shocked to her very core, spoke first, "hello Rom".

Rom: "I have waited for years".

Cooper: "How many years?".

Rom: "By now it has been 14 years, 2 months and 3 days".

Ezekiel nodded for the will of Romilly, although left behind, Romilly not only did not go insane which is already remarkable, but also further studied all he could about gravity through looking, staying alone in space on an unknown Galaxy.

Brand and Cooper were shocked from the news, while Cooper went inside in bad mood, Brand went up to Brand and hugged him, Ezekiel himself just passed by him and patted his shoulder before entering.

--

Cooper watched the videos sent by his kids and father, who grew up already, although Murph wouldn't record tape as she was pissed for the fact that her daddy left her and didn't listen to her, it still made him cry seeing his son so big without being there for them and watching them grow up.

Ezekiel just watched Gargantua and the planets, which were around it, just above it's horizon, such beautiful sight, yet such natural birth.

--

All sat around, it was the reunion for where they will go this round as they don't possess the luxury of going to both planets available.

Cooper was first to speak, "is there a way to go back in time, through the black hole".

Romilly: "You know relativity", while looking in doubt at Cooper.

Cooper: "My daughter was 10 years old, I couldn't teach her the Einstein's theories before I left".

Brand: "Couldn't you tell her, you left to save the world".

Cooper: "No, you see, when you become a parent, one thing becomes really clear, is that you want your children to feel safe, so you can't tell your daughter that the world is ending".

Brand and Romilly went silent.

Ezekiel broke the conversation, "let's start which destiny to pick next, we only have enough left to visit one planet".

The three took their emotions back and listened to what needed to be done.

Ezekiel nodded, "TARS kept the Endurance where we needed it, although the trip was longer than expected, the fuel was overused, so now we only have one choice left, Dr. Mann's planet or Edmund's planet".

Cooper chose Dr. Mann's planet while Brand chose Edmund's planet, as for Romilly and Ezekiel they yet had to decide.

Cooper: "Well if we are going to vote, there is something you should know".

Brand shook her head to Cooper, while her heartbeat started accelerating.

Cooper looked back, "Brand? They have the right to know".

Brand nervously rebuked, "this has nothing to do with it".

Cooper ignored her and continued, "she is in love with Wolf Edmund".

Romilly surprised, although his face didn't seem to show it, "is that true?".

Brand took her courage and spoke her heart, "yes, and that makes me want to follow my heart. But maybe we have spent too much time trying to figure out this in theory".

Cooper interjected, "you are a scientist, Brand".

Brand: "So, listen to me, love isn't something we invented. It's something observable, powerful. It has to mean something".

Ezekiel looked at the nonsense spouted by her, and couldn't help but sigh, not only got almost all kill now even using her instincts to judge where to go.

Cooper and Brand discussed about love, while Brand felt as love is something powerful, a connection that traverses space-time, and Cooper told her to use the only scientific data.

He ignored both as they continued in their world, and looked at Romilly who seemed to have decided to leave for Dr. Mann's planet which finished the result of votes, as for him he also chose that planet to see how looks a completely frozen world. While also decided to take this man as his first contractor.

After hearing the results, Brand went running inside with tears on her eyes.

-----

Ice planet, Dr. Mann's discovery.

As the Endurance landed, the four went out while TARS too came, leaving CASE inside to watch out and take a look of the ship.

Going inside the base from Mann, they saw a Marine robot opened up its name was, KIPP.

The four walked towards the pod, and opened it.

Slowly as it unrevealed a bag, Cooper tore it and saw the man lying inside, he woke him and saw the man get up and spit a mouthful of water, as he looked around and he started crying.
