Autumn had been contented that her love life was over. She had tried everything with Velvet to make it work but the tensions caused by Velvet's fear of touching were tearing them and the Providence apart. Autumn was content to go back to being a shooter. It is what made famous aboard the Tanmesad and what she was good at.
Velvet screamed when she saw the Romulan War Bird disabled in space. The ship made the tiny Rhodes Island Class look like a fly. Velvet thought she was done. Raine started barking out observations as the Romulans were scrambling to bring the badly damaged vessel back on line after obviously tangling with at least two Klingon vessels.
Velvet looked at Autumn, "Can we target their energy converters and take them out before they can restart?"
"There is no way a single ship can do that? The Romulan shields would configure to protect the ship's inner core. Now with two vessels,we may be able to trick the shields and hit the core but the two shots would have to be 100% precise and absolutely simultaneous.", Autumn outlined the impossible.
"What ship is close?", Velvet went into full on survival mode.
"Only the Lindsay is within range.", Tasha responded.
"Outline the plan to Captain S'Nii and damn well tell her to whip that single horse! We need a full on gallop!", Velvet shouted looking at Tasha.
"Sara, you know we have to be 100% simultaneous and on target.", Autumn spoke tactical station to tactical station.
"You also realize Sergeant Major that if we fail, the Romulans will know exactly where we are and we will be dead ducks.", Autumn loved her bird pun with the Bird woman of Talos V.
Velvet looked at Autumn, "I put my life in your hands."
The words were heard on the open channel to the Lindsay. S'Nii looked at Teshra, "Thank you for choosing the Lindsay."
Teshra smiled, "It has been my honour. I love you Sunny."
"I love you, Tesh.", S'Nii put her hand in the hand of her Andorian lover.
Autumn looked at the console, "On my mark, 3... 2... 1..."
Autumn rushed towards the main viewer. Her stream crossed with Sara. The Romulan ship disintegrated in front of the two tiny ships.
"Sara Wayne, I could kiss you!", Autumn shouted.
"I am going to hold you to that.", Sara yelled back on the open channel.
The two vessels entered into a holding pattern as S'Nii and Velvet reported to John and the senior command. Sara beamed over to the Providence. Autumn walked down to the transporter room. She looked at Sara and the pair started to cry. Sara knelt down to the floor. They were so close to death.
Autumn knelt down and slowly the girls touched foreheads. Tears streamed down each set of streaks. Sara looked at Autumn, "I believe you owe me a kiss."
"That I do.", Autumn leaned in.
