Revna closed the comms and sat back in her chair, the beaded braids in her hair swinging and clinking softly. She genuinely smiled for the first time in weeks as a massive weight left her shoulders and her stomach settled. It had been a long conversation with S’Tek. She had been assigned out in the Delta for more than a year (if you included the time she’d taken to go home). She and Mike had agreed she was going to take this opportunity and make the most of it. He had said he wait for her, and she felt like they had both waited long enough. They also could not put off clan business any longer. She and Mike could handle most of it over subspace, Mike doing most of the work, and Seamus and Ragna dealing with what they couldn’t. Things couldn’t stay that way though. Revna didn’t want them to stay that way.

She was ready to go home. The truth was she’d been ready for awhile. It had been extremely difficult to leave Earth to return to the Manhattan to finish out the work she had started. It also wasn’t in Revna to leave her work unfinished. Now everything was set and she just had to let everyone know. She would of course have to speak to Cochrane and let him know she was leaving, but first there was someone much more important.

She opened the comms again, making a connection to Event Horizon. The Federation symbol rotated on her screen as she waited for Mike to answer.

The screen opened up and Mike sat in their bedroom on the station. He grinned as he saw her face and said =/\= Hey, hot stuff. Its a little early for comm-sex, but you know me. I was a Scout as a kid… ‘Be Prepared’ was the motto. =/\= and he wiggled his eyebrows at her.

Revna’s smile turned into a wicked grin and she laughed softly. “Oh so tempting, but how about the real thing instead?” Goddesses she loved that man. She could look at him all day.

“Oh…say in about 5 days. I’m coming home, for good.”

Revna

Mike blinked a few times and then said =/\= Huh? Like… you’re being moved off the Manhattan to the station? You get promoted or something? =/\=

Mike

Revna leaned forward slightly in her seat watching his reaction. “For the next three months I’ll be stationed on Event Horizon with S’Tek. Then I’ll be done. A self promotion to wife. I’ve tried this, I gave it 110% or more at times. I’m resigning.”

She picked up a cup and drank from it before putting it down. “I’m sure. I wanted something different from Star Fleet when I came out here and this isn’t it. This was just service under a different branch. This isn’t where I’m supposed to be. We’ve talked about you moving the clan, or going back to Earth to be there. I want to be with you to do those things.”

Revna

Mike leaned back solidly into the chair and just stared at the screen. It was a huge switch… not unwelcome, but wholly unexpected. =/\= So what you’re telling me is that we’re moving. But we don’t know where yet. But we have three months to figure it out. And to make all of that more palatable, you’re throwing on the whole ‘You’ll be sleeping in the same bed with me for the rest of our lives.’ thing. =/\= He took a deep breath and said =/\= I dunno, Rev… I’ve gotten pretty used to having the bed to myself. How am I supposed to sprawl out everywhere with you here? =/\= and he looked serious for half a heartbeat before giving her a wink and a grin.
