Sharon had always thought of Kara as her best friend. Well, her best female friend, at the very least. She'd vouched for her many times when others wanted her dead. She'd stopped Lee from trying to kill her back when Sharon had first arrived to help out on Kobol.
Frankly, without Kara and Helo, Sharon would probably have been out of an airlock right away. Of course, Admiral Adama had become close to Sharon during that year when Kara had married Sam and gone to live on New Caprica, but part of her had always felt that it was only because he'd lost his "daughter" and needed someone to talk to.
Still, Kara had asked her for drinks. She'd heard the scuttlebutt around the ship about what had happened with Kara's part of the truce. Then again, she was pretty sure Kara had heard stuff about herself and Helo and that Six and Hera and...
She sighed, walking through the A-lined corridors, blue light reflecting everywhere as she made her way to Joe's. After everything that had happened, she needed a drink, herself. Tyrol was a Cylon? Why hadn
( ... )
"Now, I've come back from the dead, I'm a harbinger of death--don't even ask--and I'm married to a Cylon." Kara looked at Sharon and laughed, but it wasn't a terribly amused sound. "And I found the signal that might take us to Earth. So. There's that." Kara took another shot and smiled sharply. "Crazy as usual in Kara-land, in other words. How're you?"
Kara studied Sharon while she waited for the other woman to answer. She was trying to think of a million ways to ask questions she wasn't sure she wanted to know the answer to. Did you know Anders was a Cylon? Am I the final one?
She wondered briefly what it was like, for Sharon, to be a Cylon who chose to live with humans. Anders, he was a human who never knew he was a Cylon, and that seemed different somehow to Kara. But Sharon knew, and had fallen in love and chosen to be with the fleet--who were actively engaged in killing her people.
Thinking about it all gave Kara a headache. It was so much simpler when it was fight or die, she thought, staring moodily down at her empty
( ... )
She smiled and shook her head. "Well, if you're worried about being married to a Cylon, then you should talk to Helo and see how he deals with it." Although Sharon knew the answer to that, too. He was highly protective of both her and of Hera. He'd done a few illegal things just to keep her safe, and he'd sabotaged Lee's plan to wipe out the entire Cylon race.
"Coming back from the dead is always an interesting experience... at least you didn't wind up in a pool of blue goo, gasping for breath. Your Viper's clean. Wish it worked that way." Of course, it didn't, not anymore. Permanent death with the Hub gone.
And wasn't that what Sharon had wanted? To be as human as possible? Still scared her, though, but she didn't want to admit it. When you betrayed your race and had to prove yourself to humans day in and day out, barriers were going to go up.
"Now, I know you said don't ask, but... harbinger of death? Really, Kara?" She tried not to laugh. "Just where did you get that idea from?"
"I'm not worried that Anders is a Cylon. Other than the fact he can break my spine now when we spar, but--" Kara actually grinned again, though it was fleeting. "Or, you know." She raised her newly-refilled glass and took her shot.
She shrugged, pushing the glass away, staring down at her hands on the bar. "I thought I was gone two hours. I might have preferred the goo. At least you knew what to expect." Kara ran a hand through her hair. It was getting long again, like New Caprica. She didn't like to think about that.
"Where did I get that? That thing that lives blue goo al the time. Your Hybrid. She looked right at me, and she said, you are the harbinger of death, Kara Thrace. You will lead them all to their end."
Kara swallowed. She felt chills dance like rain down her entire body, and she couldn't meet Sharon's eyes. "First time I told anyone that. First time I've said it aloud."
She pushed her glass across the bar, wordlessly asking for another.
