Because [info]felldeedsawake requested it . . .

Now, mind you this is very RAW and top of the moment. Oh, also has spoilers. Lots and lots of spoilers.



He wanted to die?

Didn't he know what a blessing life was?

Yet he wanted to die.

Artemis studied Lee Adama. He was slumped in his chair, head resting on his arms which were resting on top of the table, and his clear blue eyes were dark and down cast. Like the stormy skies that Six had shown her pictures of to educate her.

He seemed so full of turmoil. So lost. So alone.

Artemis decided that Kara Thrace was a fool. How could you ignore someone like Lee's pain? How could she let him keep hurting like this? Instead Artemis had to act rough and tumble, which was fine with her most of the time, but she didn't want to do that with Lee.

She wanted to hold Lee. Wanted to run her fingers through his curly, dark brown hair. She wanted to join with him and create the life that the Cylons that had created her so coveted.

"Get up, Lutenient. We have drills to run with those snot nosed hot dogs," Artemis said, keeping her voice gruff and carefree like Starbuck's.

Lee looked up and asked, "What's the fracking point, Starbuck? Its the same thing over and over again. We killed the Cylons' resurection ship, but . . . They'll keep coming. We probably won't even reach Earth. Hell, we don't even know where it is."

"Are you giving up on me, Apollo?" she asked as she sat across from him.

Lee's blue eyes met her grey-green ones. He sighed and looked at his hands. "I don't know what to do anymore, Starbuck."

"I need you," she said softly. His hands were cool under hers. Humans weren't meant to be cool. They were to be warm and full of life. They were flawed and should second guess themselves. They had conciouses and they loved and hated.

Artemis wasn't quite sure when they were holding hands, but they were.

"Kara," Lee said softly, his quiet voice a horse whisper.

Artemis squeesed his hands. He loved Kara. Not Artemis.

She was just a copy, and while more perfect than the original, she wasn't half as strong as Kara was.

Artemis= Name of the Cylon Starbuck clone I made up. XD

As to where Kara is, I have NO FRACKING CLUE! Heeeee!
