He spun the chair around and knelt down before her. “You know I’d do anything for you, right? Even if I didn’t love you as much as I do, I’d still do it, if for no other reason than having faith that I’d be back after 5 years. . . “

Hannah looked at him as he knelt in front of her; her gaze studying his face, memorizing every detail even though he was already etched into her memory. Her voice was soft, quiet following along with her hands, “I know.” Then her fingers were trailing across his temple and into the edges of his hair. She was quiet for awhile, those five years chasing across her eyes. “I have everything I want. You’re alive and we’re here, together.” Her fingers brushed through his hair, again. “I’d wait for you through this life and the next, for forever.” Hannah leaned into him, brushing her lips gently against his, like time had stopped and they could take back all these moments that had been denied them.

Asimina, Doctor

DaVinci closed his eyes and smiled as her fingertips ran through his hair, then returned the kiss with as much love as Hannah put into it.
When they finally parted, he looked into her eyes and his hands began to speak while he whispered.

“One touch was all I needed to know. You were the one for me. You are my fate and my destiny. . . . “

There was something about Daniel signing to her that always set warmth spreading through her from her core. Not butterflies, she wasn’t nervous, but warmth. Hannah didn’t know a better word for the feeling. That despite her peculiarly accented voice, strange laugh, that she literally talked with her hands, and the odd mechanical devices attached to her ears and head Daniel saw her and wanted her as she was.

She loved his eyes, the sureness in the movements of his hands, and the sound of his voice. Hannah’s voice wasn’t easy to understand at a whisper, but she remained as quiet as him. Her hands conveying more depth and conviction than her voice could. “When you left you took the best parts of me with you. I lived right here,” she tested her hand over his heart, “and I always will. You are the other half of me.”

He pulled her close and held tight. “Never again. . . never again will I let anything keep us apart for that long. No matter what happens from here on out, I will ALWAYS find my way back to you, Hannah. Promise.”

There was nothing comparable to how she felt when Daniel held her like that. She smiled and kissed him where her face was pressed against his neck and shoulder. “I know, I believe you, Daniel. And I promise, I will always wait for you. You know that, no matter how long.” The idea of Daniel being taken away from her again made her feel sick, but she also know he was worth every moment.

He held her quietly for a few more moments before finally pulling away. “What do you say we get started on helping your friend?”

Hannah sat up as he pulled away and nodded. “Okay. What do you need from me?” She really didn’t think she could help other than stay out of his way, but she would tell him whatever he wanted to know.”

Asimina, Doc

“Your friends name and rank again, any research that you know she was working on. . . . the name of that stalker guy she’s working with, and the name of her new boyfriend. All of that is a good place to start. I’ll cross-reference that info and see how many pings we get back . . . .”

“Lt. Bonner, Alexis Claire, USS Ogawa. She was the assistant chief medical officer, but now she’s doing medical research in the R&D lab for science. There is so much she’s done. She said the project she just came back from had to do with genetics and memory, but it was all wrong. It was classified and that was all she could tell me. Her specialties range from general practice and surgery, to genetics, xenobiology. She worked on a project a few years ago on the rise of Catian congenital heart defects. She worked on creating antiviral for the Romulan Terothka virus, she’s worked on so much. Just searching her name in the medical data base brings up anything she’s worked on except what might be classified or restricted. The stalker guy…I don’t know his last name, he was a Lt back then by the name of Soulis. S-o-u-l-i-s. Three years ago I believe she said he was working in operations, but now of course we know he was Intel.” Hannah sighed, this was the hard part, did she really want to delve this far into Alexis’ personal life? “His name is Solomon Kane. She didn’t mention his rank, but he’s in charge of the R&D lab on the Ogawa.”

After inputting all the data, he leaned back and smiled at Hannah. “This may take awhile. Any ideas on how to keep us occupied while the search is running?”

Hannah grinned at him. “Well I don’t know about you, but first thing I’m doing is changing into something other than my uniform.” Hannah disappeared into the other room, for longer than it should take her with lots of rummaging sounds going on.

Hannah reappeared in midriff t-shirt and low waisted yoga pants, and her hands tucked behind her back. She glanced around for him, a glint in her eye. “Hey Daniel…” and from behind her back she pulled out some strange looking plastic projectile toy and then fired a foam dart right at him. She didn’t wait to see if it landed, she dived behind a chair laughing.
