The Reunion

[|Scarecrow|]

Marcus turned around to Victoria, who sat in stunned silence by her burned out console. He swallowed before speaking.
"Victoria?"
"How did they..." Her voice trailed off.
"They are Zeta Captain, they are written into space and time, and they are simple fact, like matter. The galaxy is theirs to bend. I had forgotten their teleportation skills were so... unpredictably convenient."
"Inconvenient more like!" Victoria suddenly exploded, bolting up from her seat. "Did you see the smug face on that bastard when he told us to make our own way to New York! Zeta or not, just you wait till I..."
"Calm down Captain, thats an order," Marcus bit his lip to stop himself from laughing. Edge's temper had been known to get the better of her from time to time.

"Either get back to your console or get some rest, I think I'm going to have Lucas take control of the bridge for the next shift, I'm going to go get some sleep myself." Marcus picked himself up out of the command chair and headed for the exit. He looked back at Victoria, but she had distracted herself once more with the damaged console. He gave her turned back a meek smile before exiting the bridge.
On his way to his quarters, he found he felt a strange sinking sensation inside of him. He knew exactly what it was: Victoria. The more time he spent with her, the more he was drawn closer to her. Marcus had prided himself on keeping high morals throughout his life, but for a married man to lust for another woman was despicable. He hated himself for it, but he couldn't help Victoria's allure. He was beginning to trust himself less and less each day.
