Beka was back on active duty.She was determined to prove herself a realiable member of the crew again. It wasn't easy because she still wanted flash. That wasn't going to go away.
The fact that people actually loved her did a make a lot of difference. She began to feel that maybe, just maybe she was worth something after all. She encountered Trance in the hall. "Trance."
"Yes, Beka."
"Thank you for sending Harper to me."
"Did that go well?"
"You know it did. So, don't pretend you don't. Anyway, it was important to me so, thank you."
"You're quite welcome." And Trance smiled her mysterious smile as she continued down the hall.
Beka headed down to Engineering. "Harper."
He popped out from behind a panel. "Yeah, boss. It's good to see you up and around again."
"Thanks. I just wanted to come and make sure that everything is all right between us."
"It is."
"O.K. Great. Well, that's it. I've got to get back to Command. I will see you."
"Yes, you will." He looked at her retreating back and thought that it was good to have Beka back again. Now things were really all right.
