Galactic Love

"COLONEL LOPEZ, PLEASE REPORT TO SPACE STATION 5!" The speaker had been repeating the same thing for the past 3 minutes, and to say Santana was furious was an understatement. All the young female colonel wanted was a good solid 7 hours of sleep, but knowing her life, she only got 4.

Santana rushed to put on her navy blue space suit as the red sirens continued to light up her room, somehow the lights always brought on an adrenaline rush that calmed her in such strange ways. She rushed out of her room and ran to the sector that held her ship.

The Defender, it was an appropriate name for the ship, but for the colonel herself, there was an entire different name known for her, though nobody had the balls to say it to her face. And she took such pride in that fact. Santana "Satan Charmer" Lopez had been HBIC since the first day she had been launched out to space training. She was the hottest girl no doubt, that the training program had ever seen, so that was, of course, something that brought on a lot of trouble. She may have been known for her drop dead looks, but she decided she wanted to be known for the pain that she could inflict with only her eyes and words and she made sure she was.

Santana quickly swiped her identification card once she reached the Space Station doors, finally getting the annoying voice over the speakers to shut up. She was sure the boy was just a low class Private and must've been so uncoordinated that he'd been assigned to intercoms. Something she was proud to have never gone through.

As she approached space station 5, she was glad to see only 3 of her team of 7 had made it. For the crew, it meant 2 more were going to be cut from her team, and for her, it meant more time to bitch and ruin someone else's dreams of flying with the great Colonel Lopez. She also loved that those who hadn't already shown up, must not have been listening when she said that when her name was spoken over those announcements, they were also being spoken to them, she wasn't going to be one of those leaders who got to the station with only 1 member of her crew and have to wait 10 minutes before the rest would stalk through, she was going to make sure that her crew was the best of the best.

Quick and Efficient.
Just like her first leader in the training program had said.

...

She eyed the the crew members that had arrived.

Of course she wasn't surprised to see her second man in command, Noah Puckerman, Lieutenant Colonel, and best friend. The guy with the Mohawk had always been her best friend, even if it had taken them all their years in training school to realize it. They had been through so much together and she had seen his skills on the ship guns that it was only fair that she appointed him her second hand man after she was ranked high enough for a crew and ship.
Unlike her navy blue suit, Puck's was a lighter blue and had one black stripe going across it showing he was second in command.

Then there was Captain Blaine Anderson, he had transferred from another training school during there senior year, and seeing him as a cool enough guy, Santana and Puck decided to let him join there crew, he was there technical guy, if anything ever happened to any electronic, he was there to fix the problem within seconds, he did things that none of those new robots the science team had created could ever do. He loved the 2 people in charge of the ship, they had taken him in when he was sure he wasn't going to fit in, especially since the new program wasn't as anti-bully about gays and others as his old had been. Blaine's suite was a light green, he hadn't gotten his new uniform yet, seeing as he had just been ranked up and immediately transferred to Santana's team, which he's sure she fought for him as soon as she heard he was becoming a Captain. He knew that she liked being called the HBIC, because she no doubt was just that, but he also knew that she had a soft spot for those who were close to her and that she loved them, though she'd never admit it, unless in a dire situation.

The 3rd member, was low ranked Warrant Officer, Finn Hudson, honestly the guy would've never made it onto her crew had it not been for one dumb drunken night at a club, she swore after that day to never drink with other Leaders in charge of there own crews and ships. He was tall and awkward and had man boobs that made her want to punch him the chest just to see if anything would squirt out, she suspected if anything did, it would be jelly from all the donuts he's always choking down his throat. She hated how she noticed him quietly looking every girl up and down that had passed for the 5 minutes they waited for one more crew member. She was used to Pucks obvious leering, but his was different, while Puck, strong and confident, had a chance with half the girls and had most likely had already bedded them, the King of Virgin Lollipop land that towered across from her stood no chance of even getting a a girls i.d. number much less their attention.

While beating herself up once again for that drunken night, she almost hadn't recognized the 4th member show up. Mercedes Jones, a First Lieutenant who had impressed the Colonel with her diva ways one month ago. After being stuck on paper duties with each other, the First Lt. had been trying to get on a crew for so long that she bluntly blurted out that Santana would regret every day of her service if she didn't pick her for the open Computer spot, it was a simple job, all there was to it, was to make sure no alarms went off on the ship and that all readings were fine. Santana loved the girl for her guts to say that so openly to the Latina, she hired her on the spot. Being the Diva she was, Mercedes wore a Purple spacesuit, but to draw no confusion, had blue lines all across her right sleeve and on the back in bold navy blue letters, SHIP: Defender. Leader: Colonel Lopez. The colonel could care less what the girl wore, as long as she didn't disappoint her.

Knowing she'd be the last to arrive, the 5 walked into the meeting room, where the computer had already drawn up there mission on the screen at the front of the room, Santana had already guessed what the mission was, but her gut clenched tight when it was confirmed.
Another attack had been made on the outside colony's of an asteroid not far from the the Battle Station, the colony was small and didn't have any army or small group of soldiers or vets to help protect them.
Damn it, Santana cursed, she was so tired of whoever it was that was attacking them, they were poor innocents who hadn't been able to transfer to the main space station yet.
They were all angered by the situation and she didn't have to tell the crew to gear up, they quietly left, and headed to get their badges of leadership.

Santana saw her badges and picked up the black metallic pauldron that had two glowing orange stripes and began to strap it to her left shoulder, she always loved the feel of the cool metal up against her skin, she then picked up the other which only had one glowing orange stripe and a orange triangle right beneath the stripe she quickly strapped it to her right shoulder and turned around. The rest of the crew had only one badge, the only reason she had two was because she was leader of the ship and crew.
Puck's badge was strapped to his right shoulder and had two glowing yellow stripes. Blaine's had two green stripes and Mercedes and Finn had one bright white stripe.

After eyeing everyone up and making sure they were prepared, she headed to board her ship, not knowing that everything that she had ever learned and prepared for was about to change.

R&R...Please, desperately needed.

A/N: Hi, so, I'm not a writer like at all. I usually just make stories in my head and write the ideas down knowing I'll never be able to actually type them up, but here I am trying. I'm more of a movie person. My Sis is the writer in the family, I've got no clue how she does it. But anyways, Seeing as I've never written before, please review and help me out, I need it. I'm giving this a shot, I've been unhealthily obsessed with Brittana fanfiction lately and can't get enough of it.

Btw: the metallic pauldron part, is just me showing you how much of a dork I am.. I got it off of Final Fantasy 13, Lighting wears it on her left shoulder and I fell in love with it.
