Through the Constellation

[Mel Adeney]

Mel climbed into the cockpit and felt her heart beating so fast. Once Alekay was in too, she'd made sure he knew how to buckle before climbing into her own and . . . . they went to space. Earth was litterly on fire below them, and they'd gone back to the place she'd crashed down from. It also mad everything seem pointless. Almost. Reaching for his hand, she held it. Not pointless. While she'd not admitted to it yet, at least not out loud, Mel had gotten fond of the grounder who never shut up. She had told him they were going to the bunker, and asked him to go with her. For a chance. Only, now their chance was in space. Since neither of them had been in the bunker, it was more then they had had.

That had been a few hours ago. Once they finally docked, after a space walk from Raven, they'd struggled to get the air going. Then they had to open doors and get power. Heat. Monty was working on food. For now they only had time to wait. Years of waiting. Mel found Alekay at the window, looking down at the Earth. Walking up to stand beside him, Mel watched the Earth as it began changing colors from the heat that encased it. Looking up at him, she reached for his hand not sure that he would take it.

She'd lost her home when it crashed into Earth. She lost everyone in that sudden moment. She knew how he felt.
