This seems familiar...
Kara sighs as the marines came over to escort them to the brig.

"Easy, I'm coming," she says, glaring at them. She spots some others approaching the bags.

"That's mine," she calls, thinking longingly of all the ambrosia in there.

They're put in the same section of the brig, but different cells. Better than nothing, she supposes.

They're left with some guards, the Admiral disappears, probably to talk to the President and come up with a plan.

She sighs and leans against the bars separating her and Lee. "Well, this is kinda what we were expecting," she says.

	Well its not the first time for either of them in the brig. He walks up to the bars that separate them and leans against them. "It is." he says sighing "My best guess is we'll be interrogated. Doesn't take long to feel as if we've never been away does it?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

She shakes her head, looks around. "No. Helps that this feels like my second home."

She looks back at Lee. "Gotta say I'm surprised they didn't split us up."

She smirks. "Who knows, this might even be kinda fun," she says, eyes raking over him. She spreads her arms out, grips the bars, and leans forward as if trying to work out how to work around the bars.

She's joking, trying to lighten the mood. Really, she knows as soon as they work out there's more between her and Lee, they will split them up, and she doesn't want that. They can break that news once they're out of here.

Lee quirks an eyebrow at Kara's almost lewd suggestion. The way she grips the bars makes him wince and he can't help but have a very strong image in his head of where he'd rather her hand was gripping.

He gets up and stands opposite her.

"You've thought about that way too much, Starbuck." He teases. "Is that what you filled your time with in here? Lots of little fantasies"

He grins.

There's a bit of a commotion and Doc Cottle arrives in the brig.

"Well Frak," he says taking a drag on his cigarette. "Didn't think we'd be seeing you too again. I'm here to run some tests to check you're you. Whose going first?"

"Anything to pass the time," she says in a low voice that the marines won't be able to hear.

Cottle arrives and she realises she kind of missed the grumpy frakker.

"Nice to see you too, Doc," she replies. She glances at Lee.

"I will. Get it out of the way," she says, walking towards the centre of the cell. Cottle comes in, makes her sit on the cot, and pokes and prods her for a few minutes, takes blood and cheek swabs and all sorts of stuff.

"Well?" she asks.

"We'll have to wait for the tests. But you're the healthiest patient I've examined in years, whatever that means."

Kara smirks. "Well, there's a simple explanation for that," she says. She nods towards Lee. "His cooking."

Cottle gives her a strange look. He heads out of her cell and Kara holds the swab to her arm as he walks into Lee's cell.

Cottle goes into Lee's cell.

Like Kara, he's swabbed, poked with needles and a general check over.

"Well you're in the peak of physical fitness too." Cottle grumbles. "Waste of frakking resources."

He labels up the samples and turns to go.

"I think the Old Man will be down to talk to you both later, I hope you've got an explanation for this."

Cottle goes and Lee sighs, he checks his arm to see if he's stopped bleeding.

"Guess we wait," he sighs leaning against the cell wall.

"My thoughts are they'll interview us separately, look for inconsistencies in our stories."

	Kara nods. "And what'll our story be?" she asks. She flops onto the cot, sighing heavily. "One good thing about the truth is that it's so frakking insane. And if we were Cylons, we'd come up with a believable story, at least..." she muses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A wry smile paints itself over his face. "Yeah, I think the truth is going to be the way to go, hope the old man believes us."

Lee is sounding more confident than he actually feels. His Father would have missed both of them more than he'd let on to the rest of the crew.

Would he be glad to see them, would he be prepared to loose them again? Lee isn't sure.

Minutes tick by into hours, "Perhaps," he says aloud, "they're waiting on Cottle's results before they come and see us?"

He's worried though, worried that there are heated arguments going on that are to do with their future.

She sighs. "Yeah. Probably. Want to know what they're dealing with."

She's so frakking bored. She's paced all around the cell, and it's worse knowing what kind of dicussion they'll be having about them. She's been on the other side of things like this, and knowing how it works really isn't helpful.

She eventually gets sick of pacing and sitting around, and falls back to her failsafe way of keeping occupied in hack.

She drops to the floor and starts doing pushups. It helps to have something to focus on.

Lee watches at Kara does push ups. He sits quietly waiting and waiting, until finally the door swings open and as Lee expected Tigh comes in flanked by security personel.

"I'm gonna find out where you frakkers have been for the last month." Growls Tigh. "So what fairy tales are you going to be spinning me. Adama, You're up first."

Lee glances at Kara and shrugs he gets up and walks across to the cell door.

"Cuff him." comes the order from Tigh.

Lee looks at him with an eyebrow raised.

"You got a problem with that Apollo?" Tigh sneers.

Lee rolls his eyes. "No, Sir."

He holds his arms out for the hand cuffs to be applied.

Lee is then escorted to an interview room.

Tigh permits him to sit down.

"Well then, got an explanation where you've been?"

Lee explains about the cube, about Here.

"The frak you say," jumps in Tigh.

"Actually Sir, its true. I'm guessing that Cottle's results are saying we're human and if we were toaster's we'd have come up with a much more believeable story."

Tigh bugs at him. "Get him the frak out of here."

Kara gets to her feet and watches as they lead Lee away.

She hates waiting, so the time it takes for Lee to come back is like torture. When he does, Tigh looks angrier and she sighs inwardly.

This is going to be fun.

She meets Lee's eyes as they cuff her and lead her to the interview room.

"Well?" Tigh grunts.

"Well what, Sir?"

Tigh growls. "Don't you start with that, Starbuck. Well, where the hell have you been for the past month?"

She tells him about Here and the Cube.

Tigh shakes his head in disbelief. "You expect us to believe that frakking fairy tale?"

Kara shrugs. "Believe what you want. It's what happened."

Tigh stares at her, his one eye looking furious and his jaw quivering. She doesn't let it phase her, she leans back in her chair and looks comfortable.

"If you don't believe me, check my bag. The one I brought with me. You might find some things in there that'll interest you."

His eye narrows. "You trying to bribe me, Starbuck?"

She laughs. "No, Sir. I didn't say you could keep any of it." She pauses for emphasis. "But would it work?" she asks, smirking.

Tigh stands up and motions to the Marines outside the room. "Take her back," he grunts.

Kara lets them lead her back to the brig, rubbing her wrists when she's released from the cuffs.

She walks over to the bars that separate her and Lee. "So.. how'd you think that went?" she asks.

"Like a lead balloon." he says running his fingers through his hair.

"You?" he asks already knowing that Kara and Tigh would have had some kind of run in.

"Frak!" he exclaims at the world in general.

When was his father coming to see them, it had to be soon.

He's feeling wound a more than a little tight, he goes to the bars opposite where Kara's standing.

His breathing is shallow, he's feeling frustrated.

She shrugs. "About the same. Pointed him towards my ambrosia. Could be good or bad. I'll never get to see it, though," she says with a sigh.

"Yup," she agrees. "Frak."

He's so frustrated and wound up, and it's bugging him the Old Man hasn't come to see them. She can tell. But she doesn't know if he'll be coming any time soon. If she knows the Old Man he's torn right now, between being glad Lee's back and the fear that there's some Cylon plan going on.

Her guess is they'll see the President before they see him. Kara grits her teeth and resolves not to trust a word she says, and somehow convince Lee to do the same. She remembers what Roslin did with that first Leoben, and that was a long time ago. Roslin has hardened since then.

She glances over, they've left one marine guarding them and he's reading a book right now. She reaches out and rests her hand on his hip, stroking his side lightly with her thumb.

"Hey," she says, quietly. "Look on the bright side." She steals a glance at the Marine again. "He looks sleepy. Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll fall asleep."

Her eyes meet his and she smirks. "And then you might get really lucky," she whispers, with a wink.

Kara's hand on his hip feels good, it's reassuring on one level and he locks gaze with her.

On the other hand Lee can't believe her wantoness, he glances over at the marine whose head is beginning to nod. He looks back and his eyebrows raise right up.

"Seriously you're considering..." he drops his voice to a whisper. "You're considering something when he's twelve feet away?"

Lee turns his back and slides down the bars to the floor, pulling his knees up to his chest.

"I'm guessing Tigh and Roslin are keeping the old man away." he says finally letting what's bugging him out into the air. "Wish there was some way we could prove we weren't frakking toasters."

He leans his head back against the bars, next to Kara.

Kara grins. "Maybe. Like you said, spent a lot of time in here, letting my imagination run wild."

He slides to the ground and she does the same, back to him.

"Yup," she says. "Probably."

She can't think of anything. "Our tests should come back okay. Though, what that'll prove I don't know."

She turns her head to look at him. He looks so worried. She glances up the marine's eyes look closed and if she moves her head just right he won't be able to see her anyway.

She leans forward and kisses him quickly, pulling back and glancing over at the marine. No movement.

	Kara kisses him and pulls back. It feels awkward but nice. He follows her gaze to the Marine. He hadn't noticed at all. He turns back to look at Kara questioning her. He reaches through the bars and strokes his hand at her side. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She shifts to face him more, running her hand along the arm he had between the bars.

She wants to reassure him but she can't bring herself to tell him it'll be okay, because she's not sure it will be.

Another glance at the marine, and the soft snores coming from the corner confirms he's sleeping, so she leans forward to kiss him again, not pulling back as quickly this time.

	Lee kisses her back, as best as he can through the bars. He sighs into it and he reaches through the bars to reach her hip, almost groaning with frustration. He wishes he could make the bars disappear by sheer force of will. He needs her to be closer right now. (Reply to this) (Parent)
