A/N: Prompts by dayln03 (kara/helo, burn, wrist, tunnel) & Author's Choice at un_love_you.
Summary: Missing scene, Valley of Darkness. On the run in Delphi, Helo remembers his past with Kara.


He remembers the day he met Starbuck, like a measure of what he was, and what he certainly was not. Her words burn with cold truth, and she doesn't care about his reputation - ladies man, plays by the rules but doesn't kiss ass, none of that matters. To her, he's just another ECO.

Stationed together on Triton, it's different. (They've already seen so much.) They stick together, because here, they're the new kids, and somewhere along the way they've come to understand one another. One night after a run, they find themselves in the workout room, her wrists pinned under his hands. This is before Zak, and Kara's never been a shy girl anyway. They fuck in his rack, not caring about the sniggers and whispers behind the curtain.

"Life on a battlestar," she whispers as she comes.

It only happens once.

Now they're underground in Delphi, dank air of the tunnel cooling his skin. Today, his heart belongs to a cylon, and the memories of Kara reverberate against the walls like they happened to somebody else - like he is no longer Karl Agathon and she is no longer Kara Thrace, merely shadows of the past. He grabs her hand and kisses her; she's warm and inviting and alive, unlike everything else on this lonely, dead ground.

"What the frak was that for?" she asks, her palm at the back of his neck.

"Just," he says, "...in case." And she knows what he means.

fin.

Thank you! Kara/Helo is so one of my favorite atlerna-pairings. Though, I pretty much ship Kara with just about everyone. Haha. She's could have chemistry with a paper bag.

I may write more Delphi missing-scene fic later. I really want to do Delphi!Apartment fic. Haha. I mean, the way he looks at her, the music, the honesty, gah. You KNOW there's a missing scene fic in there somewhere!

I'm a Kara/Lee, Sharon/Helo, Gaeta/Racetrack, and, um, lemme think, some other twisted combinations between these characters and perhaps some others entwined, lol. But I agree with Kara/Helo as being a great alternative, I thought writing fiction about this many times, too.

Ah, the apartment scene. The cigar, the wall paintings, fuck I love her ap! Actually, I love her, although I've watched the series up to #4 of season 3 so far, and I'm not too happy with long-hair, weird-acting Starbuck. But hopefully she comes back to her senses quite soon :p

Also, I'm quite interested in friending you. What do you think?

I kind of like weird-acting Starbuck but only because it makes sense in relation to the story. *bites lip about the rest of the season*

Oh yeah, definitely. I'll friend you back. :D

Woot! Thanks. Friending you right away. Always gleeful when finding new BSG-freaks, lol.

Thanks for avoiding the spoilers :) I'll soon reach that part of the season when I'll begin to understand her attitude as well, I'm quite sure. And by the way, she's not a Cylon. Lee is >:D

Hahaha, I dunno about that. If you're right that's crazy!

[savepureness.livejournal.com]

Well, you're certainly aware of all those theories flying around the internet, like, all right, Leoben lied when he claimed that "Adama is a Cylon" and all. But my own theory is way more simple: you've noticed they tend to hook up a human and a Cylon, and Kara was already hooked up with Anders, who is a Cylon, which proves Kara isn't, and Lee might very well be. Ha :p

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, no I never thought of it like that.

[savepureness.livejournal.com]

Eh. It's just a theory. I guess season 4 will have all the answers for us, right? :-)

Eee! I can't wait.
