"Told ya, didn't I Roxy?" Guy called as he put the finishing touches on the campsite. The tent was up, the sleeping bags were unrolled (and made so that there was plenty of warming for Roxy), and the fire started. It was a nice way to get started, but Guy has been setting something up to really show something different.
"Roxy! Come take a look!"
Guy motions to the thing he had managed to sneak in (wrapped in the sleeping bags, which he made sure to unpack): A telescope. He stood above it, his face glowing with pride like a man who just fixed an engine.
She gaps. "I haven't been stargazing in forever!" Then she realizes she's been out in space for months on end. "I mean, uuuhhhh..." And as she comes over, she trips over her own feet due to her nervousness. typical Roxy.
Guy is more than willing to help the lady with her clumsiness.
"It is kinda hard to look up when you're flyin' though it dealin' with assholes. Now that we got some time to ourselves, I think its time to appreciate."
She falls right into his chest. It's a very nice chest. Beyond the whole "ripped superhero" thing, it was this nice solid thing that caught her when she tripped and had this soothing sound of a heartbeat contained in it. Generally, it came with some arms that held her to it tightly which some macho assurance spilled out of his mouth and reverberated in that chest. Mmmmmmmmmm she thought. "Sounds good," she says, but she is, slow as ever, to move away from his being and back to the real world - as awesome as it was.
Face it, Roxy. You're a sucker for love. He hasn't used those words. He might not ever. She knows trying to pin him down for it would chase him off, so - why bother mentioning it?
The mob descends on them, driving the fight higher and faster. With his shields weakening she can feel the air clawing at her face. She kicks and hits where she can but they just keep coming.
Then there's Sonia. sonia who taught her almost everything she knew about tactics. They both know the sequence which comes next. Just like in sparring practice a lifetime ago, Roxy waits for Sonia to charge just like she always did.
"Guy," she admits softly. "I love you."
Sonia doesn't disappoint. The next moves are so familiar as to be almost calming - zen and the art of war...There's the hook. The grapple. The reversal, and now Sonia moves Roxy away from a beleaguered Guy into her own grip, expecting the elbow strike across the jaw. Instead, Roxy lets go.
Mere inches from the ground, she propels up at lighting speeds, blasting the hell out of these zombie with - yes, folks - a old-school, bright sapphire phaser!

"So which one do we start with?"

...even in the depths of Blackest Night, surrounded by death and hopelessness...
Sometimes, miracles can happen.
Elsewhere in space, a Star Sapphire dies, her heart torn out by her dead lover.
//Star Sapphire of Sector 2815 deceased. Seek out another who has sacrificed for love...//
Over Canyon de Chelly National Monument, there is a brief flash of violent light... and then it swirls around Roxy as she falls...
//Roxanne Ballentine of Earth... you have sacrificed a great deal for love. Welcome... to the Star Sapphires.//
