What they got to see in the little kitchen was more than strange: Dylan, leaning on the wall grinning from one ear to another and small giggles escaping him every now and then; Trance looking at the floor obviously occupied to study her feet and no sign from Harper. Beka looked helpless around, not knowing what to do or say. As her gaze wandered over the kitchen machines of the Eureka Maru her eyes went wide.
"What the hell."she started. She was interrupted by loud laughing from behind her. Trance and Dylan had suddenly burst out laughing hard. It seemed to be the funniest thing that had ever happened in their whole lifes.
"Harper!" Beka shouted. But the engineer reminded quiet. "Harper, move your skinny butt over here, or I promise I'll remove important parts of your body with your nanowelder!!!"
She could see Tyr wince at her threat, but still the young man didn't give up his hiding place.
With anger she turned back to the machinery of the kitchen, which no longer was attached properly to the wall of the Maru. Harper had managed to turn everything upside down. She couldn't believe what she saw, and shook her head in awe. Something wasn't right.
She wanted to shout again for Harper but stopped as she saw Tyr listen intently. He had heard something. A little moment passed as the Nietzschean tried to locate the noise, without getting disturbed by the hysteric giggles of Dylan and Trance, than he gave her a sign to follow.
They left the kitchen and moved down the gangway to the little supply-room. Tyr moved his index finger toward the little room and nodded. Beka grinned evilly, lifted three fingers and started to count backwards silently. As her last finger snapped back Beka pushed the button of the door and Tyr immediately grabbed a handful of Harper's shirt.
"Gotcha!" he cried triumphantly.
What happened next no one could have foreseen. The little engineer screamed in panic and started to kick and punch for Tyr. At that reaction Tyr let go of the little human's collar and Harper tried to run for it. But the Nietzschean was faster and slung his arms around his shoulders. Pinning him. As he was sure he had Harper securely he turned the panting young man so that he could see Beka.
Her grin had vanished from her face and was now a concerned frowning. It deepened even more as she could see Harper's face. His eyes wide and panicked, a layer of sweat on his pale skin. And the paleness let his eyes shine even more with fear. He still panted and wiggled in Tyr's grip.
"Harper! What is it? Are you with me here?" she asked him. Her words seemed to break the spell, because Harper stopped fighting, blinked several times in confusion and finally recognition flooded his gaze.
"Beka?" he asked. She could see him relax a little. Then he felt the arms still holding him and tried to turn. "What... what happened?" he asked now very disturbed.
"That's what I wanted to know from you?" She answered him.
Tyr sensed that Harper was calm and back to his old self, so he eventually let go of him.
As Tyr did so, Beka could see a change in Harper's eyes. The fear and confusion were not even evident and he had back the old smile of his as he replied: "I don't know what you're talking about Boss, everything's fine!" With that he stalked by her and went back to the kitchen.
Beka was about to follow him, as the voice of the Eureka Maru announced: "The Andromeda welcomes their crew. Permission for landing is granted."
To be continued.....
Hugs to everyone! ~LILA
