Chapter 3
Beka hugged him back. No, scratch that, she clung to him for dear life. Had he been a normal human, his ribs probably would have broken. But as he was Nietzschean, he hardly felt it.
Tears were sliding down her face.
"Why? Why cant the bitch just let me be?"
"Maybe she wants to...reconnect with you. Maybe she feels sorrowful." Rhade suggested.
"Yeah, and maybe Rommie will sprout wings and fly to Tarn Vedra." Beka muttered.
"We could ask Harper..." Rhade started.
"I was kidding."
"I know." Rhade held her closer. "I am sorry she came back."
"yeah," Beka said, pulling away and sitting on the bed. Rhade followed and sat next to her. "Me too."
Rhade looked at her. "Are you...afraid of her?" He asked slowly.
"Ptsh!" Beka laughed. "No, I just don't want to see her because she is evil."
"Ah." Rhade put his arm on Beka's shoulder. "Now that we got that out of the way, would you care to join me in the mess hall?"
Beka bit her lip for a moment, hesitant. What the hell. Risk all point right?
"Yeah, let's go."
Rhade smiled as they walked out of the Maru.
The next morning, Beka woke up pleasantly comfortable. She also had the feeling of a warm body next to her. She turned and saw Rhade's face. It all came back to her in a rush. The dinner, conversation, and her inviting him back to the Maru. She smiled to herself, remembering an old quote she found in a bathroom stall at some bar.
'Life is short, so screw as many Nietzscheans as you can.'
Beka laughed and thought of how it applied to her. Rhade stirred, the arm around her waist shifting.
"Good morning." He mumbled.
"Good morning to you." Beka replied.
Rhade sat up and kissed Beka. Just then, a transmission came through to the Andromeda and Maru.
"Beka, Rhade, Harper and Trance to command!" Dylan's voice called.
As soon as they got there they saw Dylan standing there in his spot looking at the screen.
"There are 4 unidentified ships heading for Odekyrke." Andromeda reported.
"Well, identify them." Beka said.
"It isn't that easy, their hull is somehow deflecting my scans." Andromeda said, sounding offended.
"It isn't your fault Andromeda." Dylan said.
"They might be there to try and assassinate Talia."
"Good-bye and good riddance." Beka muttered.
"What was that?" Dylan asked.
Beka looked up and smiled sarcastically," Nothing."
"It appears they have spotted us, they are veering off this way." Rommie said.
"They are hailing us." Andromeda said.
"Put it up." Dylan replied.
A masked man that looked suspiciously like a Genite was sitting there.
"What business do you have here?" Dylan was asked by the man.
Dylan raised his eyebrows. "I am Captain Dylan Hunt of the Andromeda Ascendant and we are in commonwealth space and we have the right and duty to patrol it. You are not Odekyrk..." Dylan trailed off. "Okekyrk-ian" He finished. Beka and Harper looked at each other trying not to laugh.
"No, I am not but I have as much of a right to be here as you do." The man stated.
"Ok, why don't you just tell me your name?"
"Your worst nightmare." He said as the com channel died.
Harper snorted. "Famous last words. He might be a nightmare but it is time to wake him up."
Beka and Rhade looked over at Harper as he said his cheesy joke.
"What?" He asked. Beka snorted and looked away. Rhade smirked and went back to his console.
"Well, either way, they are firing." Rommie said.
"Dammit! Battle Stations!" Dylan said. (A/N Didn't you just love it in the fourth or 5th episode of season 5 when Beka was towing them and they were hit and Dylan said 'battle stations' and Rhade looks at him and says 'we are being towed!' and Dylan says 'sorry old habits' I LOVE THAT!!! Ok sorry.)
"Return Fire!" Dylan shouted.
"Dylan..." Beka said.
"What?"
"We hardly dented them. And they aren't running out of ammo."
