Hey everyone, first of all I will continue my other Danny & Kara fic "Our Future". So this will be my try on the scenes between Danny and Kara that we will never see on TV. I'll start with ep 2.01/02 an continue through out the season. And a huge shoutout to my new beta reader Vicky (Scousedancer) thanks helping me out!
"Are you sure that you can do this?" Rachel asked Kara when they stood at the entrance of the helicopter hanger, where they had set up a medical bay for the injured crewmembers.
"Yeah." Kara replied not really paying attention to what Rachel had said as her eyes scanned the room for Danny.
"Kara?" Rachel asked a little concerned when she noticed that Kara wasn't listening to her. "I want to help." Kara replied. "And I have the medical qualifications. So why shouldn't I?" She asked even though she knew that Doctor Scott wasn't talking about her medical qualifications. "I'm not talking about that." Rachel said her eyes wandering down to Kara's belly. Kara looked at her for a moment. "I'm fine."
"Okay, but promise me you'll take a break if you need one." Kara nodded and then she grabbed a pair of gloves and started working.
She was glad that she was able to help, because she knew the moment she would give herself a break she would start to reflect the events of the last 48 hours. She would start to ask all those "what ifs", that she had successfully stored in the back of her head. It didn't take long until Kara had lost track of time and was in complete work mood. She had just put her penlight back into the pocket of her uniform as she saw a familiar SEAL uniform from the corner of her eyes. Danny, Kara thought to herself when she turned around to get a better look at him. The first thing she noticed was the blood splatters on his left should but when she looked at his face and he nodded she realized that it wasn't his blood. A wave of relief hit her and she nodded back at him. For a moment they just looked into each other's eyes and exhaled in relief, happy that they were both alright, at least on the outside.
She watched him as he walked past her and she knew where he was going to. How could he? She asked herself as she felt the anger rise. Doesn't he know that her mother was willing to…? Kara stopped her thoughts right there, she couldn't allow herself to think about what could have happened. She couldn't understand why he would want to sit with Alisha, out of all their injured shipmates. "Lt. Foster, can you help me?" Doc Rios ripped her out of her thoughts. "Yeah, sure." Kara took a deep breath before she continued her work.
About an hour later Kara had made sure that everyone was in good hands so she allowed herself to take a break and looked around the hanger until her eyes landed on Alisha. Danny had already left her, so she was alone and looked like she was lost in her own world as she stared at the celling of the hanger. Kara caught herself whet ever she should go over or not. On one side she felt sorry for and all she wanted was to go over and hug her and tell her that everything will be alright, but there was something that hold her back. She knew it wasn't Alisha's fault, but everything that had happened in the past 48 hours had been the work of her mother. She knew that she would have to figure out how to handle the situation with her, but right now she had no idea what she should do.
"You should get some rest." Rachel's voice ripped her out of her thoughts as she gently placed a hand on Kara's shoulder. "Yeah." Kara nodded as she took off her gloves and then she left the hanger.
Kara walked down the p-ways of the U.S.S. Nathan James and into her cabin where she quickly grabbed some fresh clothes and her shower gel before she headed to the showers at the end of the p-way. A couple of minutes later she was back in her cabin and had just closed the door of her closet after she had stored her stuff away again, when her eyes landed on her hands. It was then when she realized what had happened. The State Troopers taken over the ship, the hostage situation on the bridge, Quincy getting shot,… Kara closed her eyes and tried to block out the memories but she couldn't. The blood, Quincy's blood running down my hands, Kara thought as she took a closer look at her hands and even though they were now clean she still felt like it was still on her hands. The moment he had removed the bandage from his wound followed by the moment when they had tossed his lifeless body over board flew through her head. The moment when she had been taken off the ship and got forced into the car. No matter how hard she tried to stop from thinking she was powerless against her own mind. The pure fear she had felt when she saw the table and realized that they wanted her baby. She could still hear her own desperate screams as they strapped her onto the table. Immediately Kara placed her hands over her belly as if she was still trying to protect her unborn child.
If the power wouldn't have gone out…, if the nurse wouldn't have freed my hand…, Kara hung her head and looked down at her still flat belly.
"I'm so sorry." She whispered her hands carefully caressing her belly through the thin fabric of her shirt. "I'm sorry that you had to go through this." She whispered as the tears flowed down her cheek.
Kara stood there for what seemed like an eternity until a soft knock on the door startled her.
"I'm coming." Kara said trying to sound as normal as she could as she quickly brushed away the tears and tried to calm down.
A couple of seconds later she opened the door and saw Danny standing on the other side. For a moment they just looked at each other and he noticed the redness around her eyes which only confirmed what he had thought when he heard her voice before she opened the door. She had been crying. He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again when he realized that he had no words. Kara didn't say a word as well as she stepped aside to let him walk in.
"Sweetheart, are you okay? What happened?" Danny asked the second Kara had closed the door behind them. "I don't want to talk about it. Not now." Kara simply replied and took Danny's hand. She let him over to her bunk and then she climbed up. She rested her back against the wall and let her legs hand over the edge of the bunk before she motioned for Danny to follow her. The moment Danny was seated in the same position Kara leaned her head against his shoulder and took his hand into hers. They both sat there for a long time, neither of them dared to say a word as they bother listened to each other's breath.
After some time had passed Kara let go of his hand before she pulled up her legs, wrapped her arms around them and rested her head on her knees. Even though she hasn't said a thing she could already feel the tears in her eyes again. "I saw it." Kara simply said as she stared at the closet on the opposite of her bunk. "Our baby…I saw it." She squeezed her eyes shut as she remembered the moment where she saw their baby on the blurry screen in the basement of AVOSEC.
"Kara, I…" Danny stopped because once again he had no idea what he should say so he just reached out and started to gently caress her back. "I'm here for you." He whispered.
"Everything happened so fast. We were on the bridge and then they shot Quincy, they wanted the primordial strain and he killed himself to protect his family and our mission." Kara took a deep breath and closed her eyes as she tried to ignore the pictures that were flying through her head again. "All this blood when he ripped off his bandage, there was so much blood I tried…I tried to stop it…he fought me off and we had to toss his body over board. They took me and forced me into their car. I tried to fight them off but I couldn't I wasn't strong enough." Kara's eyes were still closed as she felt her self-control slipping with each word that she spoke. "I had no idea what they wanted until they brought me to the basement and I saw the table… and I tried to protect our baby… I tried everything, you have to believe me." Kara's voice was desperate and she sounded like she was begging Danny to believe her. "I know you did, sweetheart. I know." Danny replied as he was still caressing her back. She could tell from the way his breathing pattern had change that he was angry with himself for not being able to help her. "It's not your fault. You couldn't know that Alisha's mother was a psychotic monster. We couldn't know…" Kara stopped when the tears started to roll down her cheek. "I didn't know what to do. I was so scared…" "Come here, sweetheart. Come here." Danny wrapped his right arm around her and pulled her into his arms. The second her head rested on his chest Kara started to cry. "Shh, it's alright, sweetheart. Our baby is fine." Danny found himself in a battle with his own emotions. He knew that he had to stay strong for Kara but at the same time the situation was breaking his heart.
"He was so close with the syringe…I was so scared." Kara told him and then she stopped again.
"Did he…?" Danny asked after another moment of silence, but he couldn't finish his question when Kara shook her head. "No, the lights went off so he had to get a flashlight. There was a nurse I knew that she was different… I grabbed the closest thing I could find and the second he was within range I stabbed him. But if the power wouldn't have gone out, I….I don't know what could have happened." Once again Kara found herself thinking about the possibilities of what could've happened if things would have been differently.
"Hey." Danny said placing his index finger under her chin and gently pushed her head up so that she would look at him. "Don't worry about what could've happened. You got out and that's all that matters." Danny said brushing some tears away from her already wet cheek and placed a kiss onto her forehead. Kara knew that he was right, but somehow she couldn't block it out of her mind. For the next few minutes neither of them said a word as they both tried to process the events of the night. There were still some tears rolling down Kara's check when Danny finally realized that it was him who saved her. "It was me." He whispered in disbelieve and Kara looked at him with a questioning look on her face. "The power plant, the captain wanted to hit them were it hurts the most. So I took out the power plant after sunset." "You saved us." Kara whispered but Danny shook his head. "No, you did. I just took out the power plant." Danny said and then he could watch how a weak smile formed on Kara's lips. "We did." She replied. "We saved our baby." Kara brought her left hand up to Danny's cheek and then leaned in to kiss him. "I love you." She whispered before her lips landed on his and their kissed. The kiss was soft, but full of emotions. "I love you, too." Danny whispered when their parted again. "Both of you." He added as his hand reached for Kara's belly.
