- 4 hours previously – On CAP -
"Tag, your it!" Starbuck cackled as she bumped Apollo's viper before quickly flying away and flipping to face him.
"Oh no, you did not!" Said Apollo, starting to give chase. "You're mine Starbuck." Her only response was more laughter as she attempted to evade Lee.
"Now, now children, play nice." The commander's voice sounded over their comms, "The chief will not be happy if you two damage his birds playing around."
"But I'm boorrred!" Starbuck mock whined, "We promise we won't break our birds we just wanna play!
"Come on dad. At the worst we'll give each other scratches, I Promise." Apollo Joined in.
Then Starbuck again, "Please dad, pretty please..." Apollo could practically hear Starbuck pouting. He let out a soft chuckle knowing that his dad was just this close to caving...
Then his console beeped at him, and he heard through his comm "Contact. 1 baseship. Launching alert fighters."
"Frak!" Exclaimed Starbuck, "And here I was so looking forward to playing with you Apollo."
"Guess that means game over 'Buck." Apollo murmured in reply as they began to fly towards the baseship. "Galactica, Apollo. We have a visual contact on the baseship. They don't appear to be launching raiders."
"Stand by Apollo. Alert fighters will be with you in 90 seconds." Starbuck and Apollo looked at each other through their canopies and shrugged before turning back to the baseship to see the first few raiders appearing from its bays.
"Galactica, Apollo. Scratch my last, the raiders have been launched. Repeat, raiders have been launched. Starbuck and Apollo engaging."
The sound of Galactica's reply of "Copy that, Apollo." Was almost drowned out by the sound of the engines and guns as Starbuck and Apollo engaged the first couple of raiders, a few seconds later, the alert fighters arrived and the dogfight began in earnest.
Something seemed off with the raiders' tactics; they didn't seem to be trying to get closer to the fleet, in fact they just seemed to be trying to keep the vipers away from the baseship. To confirm his thoughts he inquired, "Starbuck, Apollo. Does this..."
"Yeah Apollo, some thing's not right here." He didn't even need to finish his sentence for her to understand what he was thinking.
"Right..." Apollo murmured, "Galactica, Apollo. Can you give us any extra intel? 'Cause this isn't normal raider behaviour." He frowned slightly when he heard snorts from the other pilots, before realising he rhymed his last few words. Rolling his eyes, he said, "Mature guys." More snorts over the comm.
"Apollo, Galactica. Stand by, we are receiving a transmission from the baseship." His father's voice sounded calm and steady over the comm, but Lee could still detect a faint note of confusion in his tone. So he continued t fight, to destroy as many raiders he could while trying to keep his pilots as safe as possible. Just then the raiders stop fighting and evading. They just floated. Dead in space. Exclamations of shock were heard over the comms.
Now even more disconcerted, Apollo spoke again. "Uh, Galactica? What is going on?"
His father's voice sounded again, this time more confusion and a hint of anger. "Apollo, Galactica. Stand down. Repeat, stand down. Have the alert fighters return to the ship, you and Starbuck can have escort duty. Bring the heavy raider into the landing bay, but keep an eye on it. One wrong move and I want you to shoot it out of the sky. Is that understood?"
"Yes, sir." Apollo responded. "Okay people, you heard the man, back to the ship. Starbuck, on me. Let's go!" The pilots grumbled as they reluctantly returned to the ship.
"Apollo?" Starbuck questioned.
"Not a clue 'buck, not a clue." A pause, then. "But I guess we'll find out." They flew towards the baseship just as the main hanger doors reopened and a single heavy raider flew out. "I'll take point. Starbuck, you take the rear." He didn't wait for a response, just flew into formation, knowing that she was doing the same behind the raider. They flew back to Galactica in silence, carefully vigilant. They watched the raider land, before turning towards the other bay so they could land behind the other vipers that had yet to be towed onto the hanger deck.
- On the hanger deck -
Kara climbed out of her viper and looked towards the heavy raider across the deck, it appeared as if its occupants had already left as the hanger had already returned to its usual post attack hustle. She turned to see her husband's viper being towed into place then as he popped his canopy and climbed out of his bird. She waited until he had walked over to her before she looked back towards the heavy raider.
Lee spoke, jolting her from her reverie. "I guess we'll get a call when they need us." She smiled at her husband, wondering how he always seemed to know what she was thinking. "Come on." He continued, "We can grab a shower before we pick up the kids." He held out his hand and she smiled even wider, taking it so they could walk back to their quarters together.
- Lee and Kara's quarters -
"You know," Lee said as he sauntered towards Kara smirking slightly. "We have an hour before we need to pick up the kids..." His smirk widened as he reached out to unzip her flight suit.
Kara returned his smirk as she reached out to do the same to him "Whatever will we do?" she breathed her lips mere millimetres from his before they met in a fiery kiss. Flight suits, boot and underwear went flying until there was nothing but skin on skin and the passion between them. Kara pushed Lee towards the couch and hooked a foot behind his knee so he would fall onto it, allowing her to straddle him. Still kissing her, Lee pulled her hips forward to grind against him and used his other hand to palm a breast. Kara's head dropped back as she moaned giving Lee the access he needed to trail kisses down her throat, along her collar bone and then down between her breasts. He turned his head, nuzzling slightly before quickly sucking her nipple into his mouth. Kara moaned again, louder this time and bought her hands up to tightly grasp his hair between her fingers, when he pulled back slightly to switch his attentions to her other breast she hauled his mouth up to hers for another deep kiss. Tongues duelling for dominance, she reached behind her grasping his erection before slowly sinking down onto it. They both moaned, breaking their kiss to look into one another eyes. Taking a moment to just revel in the sensations of him filling her, her surrounding him, they continued looking into one another's eyes - until Kara softly kissed him and began to move. She slowly rose up before quickly dropping down, over and over, every thrust hitting that sweet spot deep inside her. He shifted slightly beneath her, grasping her hip and pulling her down, faster, harder. The new angle meant that clit made contact with his pelvic bone on every thrust, meaning only a few more thrusts were needed until she shattered over him "Lee!" She screamed. Watching her face and hearing her call his name in ecstasy had Lee following right behind her with a deep groan of her name.
Kara collapsed on top of him still shuddering from the force of her orgasm. Still connected they sat holding onto one another on the couch. Lee's arms stroked up and down her back as they continued to kiss softly. "I love you." Lee whispered as he kissed her once more.
"I love you too." She replied, before she stood up and held out her hand to lead him to the bathroom to the shower.
20 minutes later, clean and dressed, they headed out to pick up the kids from day-care.
Ok, so this is the second chapter and my first attempt at writing smut. What do you guys think? Does it seem real? Did I get the characters right? I haven't watched the show in a while so I do worry about that. Although this is AU so some artistic licence is to be expected.
Anyway... Reviews are much appreciated xxxx
