AN: Just something that's been in my head for a while. Unbeated
The lights in the hanger deck are low as everyone mills around quietly, the air is filled with excitement for the first time in weeks.
Inside the containment area are five of my shipmates and friends.
And since the virus has destroyed everything and everyone we know we've all been each other's family.
And tonight a cure has been created.
I happen to look over to see Captain Chandler embracing the one woman who against all odds had created it.
For a while questions have been swirling about their relationship and seeing what I'm seeing shows there is definitely some truth to it.
The way the hold each other shows a bond that is strong, tender, and based on emotion more than anything else.
They show no signs of pulling apart or being aware of anything but each other, or the fact pretty much anyone can see them.
They briefly pull apart and he gently wipes the tears of happiness from her face.
The look that passes between them, more than affection, more than love. It so beautiful and it's like invading their privacy.
And so I look away to let them have that.
