"I'm stubborn for the right reasons." Everett protests. "I want to get us home. Rush just wants to tinker with this ship."

[jurisimmortalis.livejournal.com]

She sighs again. "I know. We all have people back home who'll miss us, and lives we want to get back to. But I guess we all have to be okay with the idea that we may never get home."

[colunderfire.livejournal.com]

"There has to be a way to get back." Everett says, stubbornly. "And I'm sure that we'll find it. With or without Rush."

[jurisimmortalis.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well. We're not gonna find it tonight." She opens the door to the room he's been using for his quarters.

And Everett walks over to the bed, sitting down and groaning slightly as he does. "More's the pity. If the ship doesn't have the power to dial Earth, like Rush says, then I have no idea. Trusting Eli and the others to come up with something."

It's tough, but Natalie resists the urge to look over his injuries. If only Rush would get his head out of his ass for more than five minutes to see if there was some kind of medical database on file... But getting pissed off at the scientist isn't going to help anything.

"Okay. Here's the $64 Million question: If we get close enough to Earth, can we still dial in?"

[colunderfire.livejournal.com]

"I think so. Close enough so that we don't need the Ninth or Eighth Chevrons." He bends down to start unlacing his right boot.

"But Eli's confirmed it. It would take years, even at FTL, to get back to Earth."

"If this flying scrapyard holds together that long." She peels off her own jacket. "I mean seriously. Who knows how old this thing is anyway."

[colunderfire.livejournal.com]

"Exactly." He eases his foot out of his boot, trying not to make any sudden movements. His body still felt a bit numb due to the paralysis and the shit Telford put him through.

"And there's no way to turn it 'round. I had Eli confirm what Rush said about the auto-pilot."

[jurisimmortalis.livejournal.com]

"Okay, yeah. I get that we're on auto pilot until someone learns enough Ancient to drive this thing." Her boots come off next and she flops down on the bed and scoots over to make room for him. "C'mon, you need to get off that leg before you do any more damage to it."

[colunderfire.livejournal.com]

Everett kicks his left boot off, before doing as he's told and flopping back into bed, groaning slightly.

"This is all a mess."

[jurisimmortalis.livejournal.com]

"Understatement much?" She sighs and stretches out next to him, propping her head up with one hand and laying the other on his chest. "But seriously. It's kinda, well, cool. I mean, this is the kinda stuff I grew up on. 'Strange new worlds, new civilizations' and all that. Just never thought it'd actually happen. Now I guess being what I am kinda makes sense."

[colunderfire.livejournal.com]

"Glad it's helping you understand." Everett mumbles back, stifling a yawn. Now that he was actually lying down, he was getting a bit sleepy...

"Maybe you can stay and keep Rush company?"

[jurisimmortalis.livejournal.com]

She snorts at that. "Nah, I think the whole narcissistic vibe he has going would probably drive me nuts. Hell, it is driving me nuts."

Tucking her hair behind an ear, she leans over for a soft kiss.

[colunderfire.livejournal.com]

Everett smiles lightly as she kisses him. "The problem is that I've gotta do something about him."

[jurisimmortalis.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I know. He's a loose canon, and the more you try to tie him down, the more likely he is to go off." She sighs again and moves to curl up next to him. "It's almost like high school all over again. Jocks versus nerds. Go figure."

[colunderfire.livejournal.com]

"I'm not that bad, am I?" Everett asks as he wraps an arm around Natalie.

[jurisimmortalis.livejournal.com]

"You at least have the crew's best interest in mind." She chuckles and nuzzles at his jaw. "I don't think I can say the same for Rush."

[colunderfire.livejournal.com]

A scowl. "Rush has always been up his own ass." Everett growls. "Now even more so."

[jurisimmortalis.livejournal.com]

A hand moves over his chest. "Let's just forget about Rush for now, okay?"

[colunderfire.livejournal.com]

Everett sighs, relaxing. "Alright. Just for now." He mumbles, moving to kiss Nat on the forehead.

[jurisimmortalis.livejournal.com]

She tilts her chin up for a longer kiss to the lips.

[colunderfire.livejournal.com]

Everett smiles against the kiss, before sighing. "I'm sorry all this happened to you. Wasn't my intention."

[jurisimmortalis.livejournal.com]

"Hey, don't start with that." The rebuke is soft, but there nonetheless. "I knew the risks when I signed on. How was anyone supposed to know Icarus would be attacked? It's not your fault things got blown to hell."

[colunderfire.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but it's my fault you got fired from the FBI." Everett comments, but sighs. "At least we're safe, wherever we are."
