Was that the sound of a viper engine or was she imagining things? She had to be imagining things.
Years of believing the impossible during the Cylon exodus kept her from completely dismissing the sound. So Kara decided to walk out of the hanger and get a look at the aircraft that had just flown in. Just in case the impossible had suddenly become possible.
Well, what do you know, the Gods must have been having sweet fuzzy kittens because there was a colonial issue viper, right on the tarmac.
She ran back into the hanger and grabed her service pistol before sprinting out to the Viper. The man was turned around so she couldn't see and features besides the fact that he was male.
Kara held the gun up to his head and cocked the hammer back, "Name, Rank, Serial Number and proof you aren't a fraking Cylon or your brains will be decorating the pavement."

"What do you hear, Starbuck?" he said slowly. Still trying to process the fact that the pilot they'd all given up for dead, was, well, very much alive. And holding a gun to his head. Nice to know things hadn't changed much.
Then he heard footsteps, and the second voice. Even without turning around (he had a rather edgy pilot with a gun to his head, after all - wouldn't do to make her even more on edge by moving), Adama would know that voice from anywhere.
"...Lee?"

"Admiral?" she said almost in awe. She lowered the gun and flipped the safety on. "What?" she said as Lee and the Admiral recognized each other.

He turned around as soon as the gun was lowered. "Yes, it's me," he said. "Gods, Kara, you don't change, do you? Threatening a superior officer." But the last was said with a hint of a smile. "It's good to see you. Both of you," he added, with a glance to Lee.

Adama tucked his helmet under his arm. "Air seems fresh, for a gas planet," he commented. "Inhabited, too."

"Next time," he said, "you listen when I give you the order to pull up." He reached out an arm to squeeze Lee's shoulder, before giving in and pulling him into an embrace anyway. "Everybody thought you were dead," he managed to say at last.

He didn't need to ask whether she was serious. Even Kara wouldn't joke about a thing like this.

He drew a sharp breath at Lee's statement, and looked him in the eye. "Zak? You sure it's him?"
