Dreams do come true

Chapter 8

Day 7

Kara found Lena looking at the Earth and the Moon from one of the windows.

Lena saw her coming out of the corner of her eye. "Look at that. I don't think I'll ever get tired of this view."

"Me neither." Kara meant to say it about the view of the Earth and its moon together from so far away. But then again, that other view right there? Lena curled up next to a wall contemplating her planet was new and absolutely breathtaking. And when Lena finally turned her head to look at her, Kara felt that Earth had nothing against Lena's eyes.

By that point, Kara was used to being alone with Lena, they were friends, best friends even. But that did not mean that every once in a while there weren't these little moments full of intensity, full of something else that left Kara feeling like the tongue-tied girl with a crush she was over a year ago. It wasn't until Lena raised an eyebrow that Kara realized she'd been just gazing at her, and she didn't care to find out for how long. "Um... Sam was looking for you, I— I think Ruby wants to talk to you."

Day 22

Sam thought she had things under control. She was a good mother and had the best daughter. She was an amazing astronaut, she had friends and a found family. Things were going great on their mission to Mars. Everything was under control.

It wasn't like she was wrong. It was just that it'd been twenty-two days in a small place with Alex and she was starting to lose her head.

Alex Danvers was driving her insane.

She was doing a spacewalk and Alex was talking in her ear — granted, through the comms, still had an effect though — when she heard, "God, Sam, how are you so good with your hands?"

Sure. Alex was talking about her steady hands working incredibly well on the spacecraft during a spacewalk. Still... There was a lot to unpack there.

Alex never called her Sam when they were on the job.

The way she breathed through that 'God'. Her tone. Her freaking teasing tone. Sam just knew
Alex was smirking. Smirking, the audacity of that woman!

Did Sam mention Lena and Nia were also listening? And that they saw her losing balance and beginning to spin without meaning to? Lena had to help her stop. She wanted to detach herself from the spaceship and float right into the sun. She was never going to live this down.

Yes, Sam had started flirting a few days ago. Sure, they were best friends and they'd teased each other before. But now they were both single and they were living together. It felt different. It was different. Also, when she started it she didn't think Alex would start responding to it.

She couldn't possibly like her back, could she?

Yeah, Alex Danvers was driving her insane. Sam was quickly losing control of the situation. And she was loving every minute of it.
