Thanks to....Red Headed Angel......Lila.....Fuzzy Elf.....Nicki......aimless.....Claire and finally Janos
Anyway I will be quiet now and let you read the last chapter as I contiue to dane around the library!
Athena Rue reminded me that I forgot to mention that this story idea was borrowed from Stargate SG1's "Need" episode. I don't own them either in case you wondering. So thanks Athena Rue for reminding me about that :-)
Harper ducked and rolled out of the way hitting into a shelf.
"Beka it's me!" Harper yelled ducking down behind a fallen box.
A giggle echoed round the darkness and Harper strained his ears to try and find where she was.
"Oh hi Seamus" She giggled insanely.
"Hi Beka" Harper fought to keep his tone light eyes still searching the darkness. "Whatcha doing?"
"Oh ya know" The giggling voice came again but Harper still couldn't locate his friend in to darkness.
Before he could focus another shot fired again, singeing the top of his hair as the engineer ducked just in time.
"Beka! Are you trying to kill me?"
"You're killing me!" Came the angry reply "I need the flash"
"Boss you know that's not true. Dylan said your getting better, come out and we can go back to the Maru."
"You're lying!"
Harper bit his lip "Why would I do that."
"Everybody lies" Beka shouted "Saying their never going to leave. That it was the last vial."
"Beka I wouldn't lie to you."
There was silence and Harper waited tensely
"I'm not going any where until you let me have the flash." Beka shouted instead.
Harper cocked his head to the side, seeing movement to his right behind one of the selves. Carefully pushing himself to his feet he slowly began to walk round still talking.
"I can't do that boss."
Another shot fired and Harper had to throw himself to the left to avoid it. "Damnit Beka" He screamed "I know what your going through, please come out."
He heard shaky footsteps step round the shelve and Beka stood in front of him. Harper pushed himself back to his feet but froze when he saw he was staring down a barrel of a gun. He swallowed and looked past it to Beka's eyes, still white, but at least she wasn't bleeding.
"Are you going to kill me Beka?" He asked softly
"I don't know" came the chocked reply. The weapon pointing at his chest was shaking and the captain had to raise her other hand to steady it.
"Just put the gun down Beka, please, you don't want to shot me."
Harper stared into his friends' eyes, pleading silently now. Fear filled him as the weapon pointed at his chest.
"You d…don't understand," She stammered out.
Harper could see the Flash wearing out and knew the withdrawal would start soon.
"I do boss," He stared at her and held back his tears as he watched the once strong woman shaking, her hair hanging limply and her face paler then Harper had ever seen it.
"My god look at you." He whispered. "I know what this is, Beka I understand, I know what it's like. You can get through this."
Tear fell down Beka's checks and she slowly lowered the gun, dropping it to the floor and sinking down her legs giving out. Harper pulled her into a hug and gently rubbed her back whispering soothing words in the darkness and feeling his own tears fall.
They stood in the kitchen part of the Maru, each holding a drink and standing in silence. Harper lightly pushed himself onto the cabinet one handed and opened a draw. He froze when a flexi fell onto his lap and paled when he remembered what it was. Beka looked at him concerned and picked up the flexi before he could stop her. She turned it on and the colour also drained from her face.
"That's my father" she whispered, her voice raw with emotion.
"I know" Harper whispered back.
"He recorded it before he died." She said joining Harper on the cabinet.
The engineer scooted nearer to her and lent against her shoulder.
"Those words were the only comfort I could find. 'Keep shooting for the stars'. I just wanted to make him proud of me Seamus"
Harper stayed silent sensing that she had more to say.
"My god I hated him. I really, really hated him. But I loved him,"
"I know"
