Chapter 11

They were walking past the pilots rec room where a triad game was in place, Racetrack, Hotdog, Seelix were all involved. Kara couldn't help herself she walked in and Racetrack looked like she had seen a ghost, Hotdog managed to say "Starbuck", Seelix just looked guilty. Lee walked in behind her and laughed at the expressions on their faces.

Starbuck- "Well well what do we have here? A game of triad and I wasn't invited."

Racetrack- "Starbuck herd you were back from the dead. What gods didn't want you either?"

Starbuck- "Yeah well everybody has a skill. So I here you are the new flight instructor?"

Racetrack- "Well you herd right, I am the Raptor instructor, and Hotdog is the viper instructor."

Hotdog- "Yeah Starbuck after you 'ah' left I was the senior pilot you know seeing as Apollo was off defending that scumbag Baltar. So Apollo I see your wearing your wings does that mean you are back in the fleet?"

Starbuck- "Well boys and girls I am back now and I will be taking over the training of the nuggets Admirals orders. So you going to deal me or not."

Apollo- "Well Costanza everyone including the scumbag's deserve a fair trial. To answer your question yes I have been re-instated as a major and the CAG, so get used to it. Starbuck come on the Admiral is expecting us."

Starbuck- "Oh yeah, well children we must be off cant keep the Admiral waiting."

Lee stepped out into the hallway and burst out laughing, Kara looked at him like he was on drugs, this was the first in in a long time that he felt like laughing things had been so bad at one stage he couldn't function properly not even his father could understand the depths of his diaspore. But that was all over now he has a new lease on life and her name is Kara Thrace. Lee knew his father would want some answers in regards to the map to earth, Lee knew his destiny was the same as Kara's his job is to guide the fleet there and that was precisely what he is going to do. He wasn't sure how he was going to convince his father of that but the gods did say that Kara and Laura were interconnected and she would know what we say is the truth.

Kara was looking at Lee and wondering what he is smiling about. A small grin started to form on the edges of Kara's mouth she knew what he is smiling about, it was what took place between them in Lee's quarters. Hey anybody would be smiling after that mind blowing sex. Her thoughts drifted to the task at hand. Earth how was she supposed to know how to get there, what was she to say to the Admiral. "Yes Sir I know exactly where it is turn left at the next Nebula and right at that star system."

She had no idea, knowing the Old man he would expect her to. Was it a feeling or a visual clue? She just didn't know and that's what was going to frustrate her immensely.

Zeus and Aphrodite were looking down on the progress that Kara and Lee had made and it worried them. The two of them had no idea of exactly what was going to happen to them, they seem so happy in each other's arms, they are going to have to be so strong because not even Zeus can protect them from what the are about to face.

Lee opened the door to the CIC and was greeted with a very cold glare from his ex-wife Dee. He shrugged it off and walked towards the Admiral's office. Kara on the other hand couldn't resist walking over to Dee and telling her about the mind blowing sex that she just had with her ex-husband. Dee wanted to scream and smack the other woman from here to eternity, but she couldn't and Kara knew that, that was why she did it. Dee wasn't about to give her the satisfaction. She would get her own back next time she is in her viper, a mysterious loss of contact in a battle resulting in the loss of a certain viper pilot, with that Dee started to smile happy in the light of Kara Thrace's impending death take 2.

The Admiral emerged from his office and walked toward his 2 children he knows he should be very angry at both of them but the one thing he as learnt from all the caos is never take life for granted, so he was not going to punish them. The best course of action was to move on to the next task at hand and that is to find earth. Kara was the key to them finding a new home and he was going to give her all the support necessary to facilitate the process.

Admiral- "Kara I hope you have settled back in ok?

Kara- "Yes thanks sir."

Admiral- "Good, now come with me into my office both of you."

Lee- "Yes sir."

Admiral- "Take a seat, what I have to tell both of you is very important. A couple of hours ago we received a Cylon transmission asking us for a truce. Apparently the cylons want to stop the war and make peace they know about Kara and her return to us and they want to have access to her knowledge. As you can imagine my response was very diplomatic when I told them under no circumstances would I now or ever let the cylons within a micrometer of Kara or this fleet. Upon receipt of my message the cylons have no vowed that they will take Kara from us."

Kara- "What you cant be serious? How the frak do the cylons know that I am back from the dead, unless there is there is a traitor in our mist. Sir there is no way the cylons can get to earth before we do, we have to get there first we just have to."

Lee- "Oh my god dad you cant be serious, the cylons are not getting their hands on Kara no frakking way, She is not leaving my sight, and Kara no more flying I will not lose you again, I cant lose you again."

Kara- "Lee it is ok, you wont lose me again I promise I am not going anywhere alright. I love you and I always will. Anyway I cant believe that the cylons would dare come and try and take me seeing as we know what they look like, they would be spotted a mile away. As for flying I agree with Lee my place is no longer in the air it is in the CIC and the war room planning the series of jumps for the fleet."

Admiral- "Very well Starbuck if that is what you want then so be it. Lee you will also be taken off the flight roster. I will assign Gaeta to assist the two of you. That will be all."

Kara + Lee- "Yes sir."

Starbuck and Apollo exited the Admiral's office and immediately left the CIC. Kara was still in shock from what the old man had said, "the cylons want to take you away from us" here we go again, she thought she was free from all that crap but no she is in it up to her eyeballs. Lee on the other hand was furious that the cylons could even have the nerve to make such a demand, he had finally found peace in his life Kara was his and he was hers and now the cylons want to come in and break that all up, well no frakking way was he going to allow that happen.
