Paring: Elsanna
Summary: In the late 24th century humans had populated all of Sol system, Alpha Centauri and the Wolf 259 system. Humanity had its eye's on more systems when they encountered an alien fleet. The aliens were large humanoids, have azure skin and have been named Jotunheimer or frost giants. Anna retreats in embarrassment from Elsa. Elsa tries to make everything better when a call from the General.
Elsa had spent the last five days eating and building her body. The trip had started quite nice with Elsa and Anna talking. Since then though Anna had started avoiding Elsa, so much that Anna had changed her sleep schedule. Elsa wasn't sure what happened to make Anna run and hide. When Elsa asked Anna in passing she said 'I don't think we should both be sleeping at the same time in case something happens to the ship.' Elsa didn't believe that was the real reason, but figured that Anna just needed space.
Elsa had hoped that Anna would come back around eventually, but after five very lonely days Anna had not. Elsa had nearly rebuilt her body back to the way it was before the cryo and now she was ready for a war. Elsa had decided to find out what was bothering Anna finally. Anna was usually spending her time in the rear of the ship working on her weapons and armor. Elsa moved to the back and opened the door. Anna was sitting on the floor cross legged and had an unusual set of gauntlets broken down on her lap.
"So why have you been avoiding me?" Elsa asked, as she walked around Anna to look her in the face.
Anna didn't even look up from her work "I haven't been avoiding you. Like I said it was probably best to have different sleep schedules in case of an emergency."
"I don't believe you. We both know that the ship will awaken us if there is an emergency. If the emergency is bad enough it is the sleep pods that are our escape casual as well. So why don't you tell the real reason?" Elsa listed the known procedure for any emergency. It was actually best if they slept at the same time in case of a meteor strike or something catastrophic.
Anna stopped and looked up at Elsa. Elsa could see something in Anna's eyes that she didn't expect. It looked like fear mixed with something else. "I am embarrassed to say that I had thoughts that disrespected you and were above my position," Anna said, as her cheeks turned red.
"What do you mean? I am not above you and what did you think?" Elsa asked, very confused.
"You are elder then I am so you are above me and I thought disrespectful things about your legs." Anna said, and Elsa couldn't stop her eyebrows from going together. Maybe Anna's and Elsa's had different ideas of who they defer decisions too. Elsa's deferred to those who have more successful missions or kills. Anna's must defer to those who were older in age. Then suddenly Elsa realized that Anna had said something about her legs.
"What did you think about my legs," Elsa asked, but Anna's face turned so red that Elsa changed her mind. "Never mind if you are too embarrassed to say don't worry. To Elsa's we both have nearly the same record. You have three hundred successful missions and I have nearly three hundred confirmed kills," Elsa explained.
"That's what you think, but Anna's defer to their elders. If they are still alive then they must know more or be better. You are Elsa 35," Elsa went to say something, but Anna held up her hand. "I remember the agreement, but you were created, what, nineteen or twenty years ago. I was created sixteen years ago, I defer judgment to you. I thought about your legs and I thought about touching them inappropriately," Anna finished.
Elsa could understand that Anna found it hard to see that they were equals in Elsa's mind. Then Elsa couldn't help, but smile at Anna's other comments. "You like my legs?" Elsa asked.
"Well they actually look a lot nicer now that you have rebuilt them, but yea I do" Anna said, her cheeks still very red.
"Thank you for the complement," Elsa said, with a smile and held her hand out. "Will you stop avoiding me now? It's lonely without you." Anna smiled up at Elsa and took her hand. Elsa pulled Anna up to her feet. Elsa then looked down at the dismantled weapons, there were three blades per gauntlet, small motors, fusion batteries and pneumatic actuators. "What weapons are you cleaning?" Elsa asked. Elsa prided herself on her knowledge of weapons, but her knowledge only extended to sniper rifles and assault rifles.
"Those are my psi-gauntlets. The blades will extend out of my hands. The blades will vibrate at supersonic speed. They can penetrate any armor and they are my silent kill weapons," Anna explained, while she gathered her dismantled weapons. Anna then relocated to the sleep pod area, like she had never left. Elsa had moved her rail gun into the sleep pod area and sat down on the other side of the table. Elsa broke down her rifle and started cleaning it with Anna across the table.
Elsa couldn't help, but occasionally smile in Anna's directions. 'She likes my legs' Elsa thought. Elsa didn't know why, but the thought of that caused Elsa to have butterflies in her stomach.
Several more hours went by and they didn't say much, but just being in the presence of another human was soothing to Elsa. Elsa suspected that it was the gene enhancement that caused Elsa to desire to be around others. Though Anna's presence was more soothing then Elsa had ever felt before. They seemed to have a connection that Elsa had never felt before. Elsa often found herself thinking about Anna and what they could do to pass the time. Elsa, also for the first time, thought about all those Elsa's that went missing. Maybe they should disappear and not do the mission that seemed so impossible.
Suddenly a beep sounded in the room and Elsa felt a slight vibration from her holo-device. Anna had hers on the table and turned it over. A holo appeared and it had a countdown timer and a single line 'holo-table.' Elsa stopped everything and so did Anna, they had about a minute to be at the table to receive a communication. They both stood and went into the other room and stood next to each other in front of the holo-communicator.
The holo-table hummed to life as the face of the General that gave them the mission appeared. Elsa and Anna both stood at attention and saluted.
"At ease assets. Anna and Elsa 35 it is good to see that you are both once again in fighting condition. What is your status?" the General asked.
"Status is green," they both replied in unison.
"We are updating your information because we were able to land a probe on 1Z. The only change that we got was that the Tachyon cannons are always heated so it creates a thick fog around them," the General listed.
"Any scans of the building?" Anna asked, with a little hope in her voice.
"No. We also have a change to your mission," Elsa hoped the change was something about disabling the cannons and destroying the command center. "Our intelligence community suspects that you might encounter the first noncombat frost giants. We want you to take at least one prisoner and hold one prisoner until back up arrives," the General finished. Elsa couldn't believe what she was hearing. Now they have to try and take prisoners. This mission has just gone from extremely difficult to nearly impossible.
"General how important is prisoners when compared to the rest of the mission?" Anna asked. Elsa didn't even want to entertain the possibility of taking prisoners, but Anna seemed stalwart as ever.
"What do you mean Asset?" the General asked.
"If I am forced to choose between keeping a prisoner alive or losing control of the command center," Anna asked. Elsa had to smile at Anna question now. Anna had the perfect way out of this order. Just say that they couldn't keep the command center and the prisoner alive at the same time.
"They are both equally important, but until the fleet has successfully taken control of the space around 1Z the Tachyon cannons are the highest priority," the General answered. "We want to hear your plan for the assault on the center," Elsa looked at Anna and nodded her head. It was Anna's assault and Elsa was only their as back up. Anna walked forward and started to lay out the plans they had up to this point.
"Well, that isn't much of a plan assets," the General spat.
"Well General it's the best we have with the information at hand. We will have to pretty much make the rest up as we go, unless we can get accurate scans of the building," Elsa had to cough when Anna finished that sentence. Anna had just basically insulted the General and the whole operation.
"We have another probe scheduled to land the day before you are expected to arrive. It was expected to arrive with three days to contact, but it appears that your ship is traveling faster than expected and you will arrive in eight days," then the General drops another bomb. Elsa and Anna thought they had approximately fifteen days until Z1. They were mostly ready, but it is being mentally prepared for the battle ahead and having seven fewer days is just that many less to prepare your head for battle.
"Is there anything else assets?" the General asked.
"Negative," both Anna and Elsa said in unison.
"Very good we will not be communicating again until after we have Z1 under human control. Good luck Assets," the General saluted them and they saluted back. The holo-table went dark.
"I can't believe they want prisoners as well. Why not just send our ship into an asteroid if they want us dead," Elsa yelled out at the silent holo-table.
Anna just shrugged her shoulders "I had a thought that at least they didn't want prisoners. I might have jinxed us," Anna said as she turned to walk out of the holo-room. Elsa was still fuming at the holo-table when suddenly she felt a hand drag across her back. "Don't worry too much I'll take care of it," Anna continued dragging her fingertips across Elsa's shoulders. Elsa closed her eyes and arched her back as it felt like lightning going down her spine. When Anna's fingers left Elsa's back, Elsa had to sigh in resignation.
