"Sam, you need to calm down," Kara said, pulling herself out of his arms.

"Calm down? The last I heard you were getting some r & r out there in space, and now you're here with a fraking rescue party."

"We're not a rescue party," she said. She couldn't bear to glance at Lee to get his support.

"Captain Lee Adama," Lee said stepping forward. He had no clue what was going on right now, but it seemed important that he figure out who the fraker who had his hands all over Kara was.

"Sam Anders."

"He was my captain." The double meaning of that phrase hit Kara immediately, and she blushed. "I mean, he was the captain of the Buccaneers." She was trying so hard to keep herself from passing out, but it didn't seem to be working. Her words were catching in her throat before she could even think them up.

"I'm a little more than that, Kara," Anders said with a smile. "I can't thank you enough for bringing my girl back to me, Lee."

"You can call me Apollo," Lee corrected.

"Frak me! The Commander's son?" A tall man stepped out from the woods where the gunshots were coming. Lee couldn't help but think he looked familiar. "I cannot fraking believe it. They're from Galactica!"

Lee suddenly placed the man and smiled. "Helo. I thought you were dead."

"The same could be said for you," Helo joked.

"Reunions later, boys," Kara said. That earned her a rather malicious glare from Lee. She was in so much fraking trouble. "Is someone going to explain what the frak you guys are doing shooting up the forests of Delphi?"

"We've been fighting back since the moment the Cylons attacked."

"We?"

Anders smirked. "You guys can come out. The prodigal daughter has returned."

A small group of people stepped out, and Kara had to bite back a gasp. It was her family. Jo-man. Rally. Ten Point. Grip Key. Morris. Frak, even Sue-Shaun was there. "How?" she choked out.

"We were in the mountains for the training." Anders glanced over at Lee. "The Bucks always have to go through-"

"I know. Kara told me." Lee couldn't quite keep the anger out of his voice, and he could see Anders picking up on it.

"We were in the mountains when the attacks happened, and we've been on the run every since, picking up any survivors along the way. We've done our best to hit the Cylons whenever we have a chance."

"There's no fraking way you could have survived this long," Lee pointed out.

"That's where I came in. Having a military background comes in handy during an apocalypse." The guy Lee called Helo smirked, and Kara couldn't help but feel like that was familiar. "They stumbled into me a few weeks after the attacks. I was on the run from the Cylons. I guess I seemed useful."

"Yeah and your handy little friend," Sue-Shaun growled. There was obviously something going on that she didn't approve of.

"What are they talking about Helo?"

"He brought his pilot with him," Anders said.

Lee's eyes went wide and his hand automatically went to his side arm. Helo immediately threw his hands up. "Let me explain!"

Lee aimed his gun at Helo. "You have two seconds to explain how the frak that's possible before I blow your fraking head off."

"What are you doing, Lee?" Kara asked, even though her hand also went to her gun. If Lee was sensing trouble, she believed him.

"Helo's pilot was Boomer," Lee hissed.

Anders watched as Kara's face lit up in fear to match the man beside her. Her gun came up to point at Helo. "Now I'm confused."

"Boomer's on Galactica," Lee growled. "But I guess that's not entirely correct."

"She's a Cylon," Kara hissed, trying to hold her hand steady as it trained the gun on Helo. "You brought a fraking Cylon to the only group of survivors on the planet?"

"I didn't know at first. I only realized after a chance run in with a Cylon brigade when Sharon and I were patrolling the perimeter of the Resistance's base."

"You knew she was a fraking Cylon and you didn't say anything?" Anders yelled. "She's back at the camp with the rest of the team! They don't even know they're in danger."

"Stop!" Helo yelled as Grip Key and Fink moved to go warn the others. "She's not going to hurt anyone. She wants to be rescued as much as the rest of us."

"Explain how that can be," Lee growled.

"She's pregnant with my child," Helo said, his shoulders drooping from the weight of his admission. "She wants to keep our baby safe, and she can't do that on Caprica. She's a deserter."

"Sounds like a few people I know," Kara muttered. She winced when Lee didn't even crack a smile.

"The Cylons are after her. They want the baby."

Everyone stood staring at each other as Helo's words sunk in. No one knew whose next move it was to make until Anders finally growled, "I should let them kill you for this."

"Fine, kill me. Just don't hurt Sharon."

"Her name is not Sharon!" Lee screamed. He had finally had enough of this. No one seemed to understand what was happening except for him. "She's a fraking machine. She doesn't have a name."

"She's Sharon," Helo insisted.

Kara could see Lee's hand, the one holding the gun, begin to shake as the stress of the situation took hold. This was too much for him. After everything they had just gone through, he was finally overloading. "You said you had a base, Anders?"

Ander's brow lit up in confusion. Kara had never used his last name to address him, at least not when they were off the pyramid pitch. "We set up shop at Delphi Union. They had supplies we could use."

"Fine. Let's all just take a deep breath and go back there. We can sort out what the frak is happening when we've all calmed the frak down."

"That's my take charge girl," Anders said as everyone relaxed. He leaned in to give her a kiss, but Kara shifted at the last minute and he only made contact with her cheek. "Kara?"

She gave him a small smile. "You didn't even ask why I'm here, Sam," she said sadly before pulling her hand from his and starting to walk.

People pushed past the pyramid captain as he tried to figure out what that was supposed to mean.
