Sorry for the wait on this chapter have been busy with real life, trying to get out a couple of chapters before the new year comes along. Will be moving the family to a different state for a bunch of stupid reasons but will try to keep writing after we get settled in.
Chapter Three
3 weeks is a fairly long time to be traveling in hyperspace but it's usually twice that long just from one end of a galactic arm to the other and they were crossing the galaxy. Most people don't even travel that far in their lifetime let alone four or five times in a year.
This would be Johns first time anywhere near Terra in almost 9 years. The program didn't let any of their test subjects get anywhere close to their home planets due to a few of the subjects going AWOL for almost four months before John and his team were sent in to bring them back. In the end only 2 of the 7 that left came back alive. He had tried to talk them into coming back without the use of force but only the last two had heard the rumors of a team bringing dead bodies back and surrendered as soon as John asked them to come back before something 'bad happened to them'. Apparently they had all gotten together to keep out of the programs hands and used a common network to keep in touch until they started dying off.
They had been training almost nonstop since they went into hyperspace and John still felt like he needed more time to fine tune his newer abilities. Jamee was making very good progress with the many skills that John had taken years to perfect. She was mastering them in days, hours even for some. 2 days till they were set to enter Terra's star system she was phasing through walls and John was just learning to do that when they did his last operation before the lab went under. So in the end Jamee was teaching John some things that he didn't even think were possible.
John was phasing through the wall to her quarters until he noticed her hovering naked in the air above her bunk and lost his concentration. "What the hell did they do to you in that lab anyway?" He asked while trying to hide his red face and pull the last piece of his flight suit out of the wall where he had stabilized again.
"The same thing they did to you and all the others."
She was laughing inside his head now.
"Not likely, I can't hover like that"
"I'm not hovering, it's called meditating."
"I've been meditating since I was ten years old and in Martial Arts classes and I can't do what you are doing right now."
She lowered herself to her mattress before stretching out her arms and legs while wearing only a smirk on her lips. "Maybe you have been "hovering" the whole time, you just don't see yourself when you close your eyes to meditate. Have you ever meditated while anyone else was around?"
"I never trusted anyone to be around me when I was that vulnerable. Whenever I needed to meditate I would keep myself inside my quarters and locked out the keypad so I wouldn't be disturbed."
"You can see how well that works for people like us, right? I did the same to my door just ten minutes ago."
"Yeah, sorry about this by the way I was just trying to show off that I was getting really good at it." Looking back at the edge of his sleeve that was still in the wall, he shrugged. "Apparently I need to keep practicing though."
"On the bright side you didn't lose your concentration halfway through the wall like some of the others that started training the same time I did. That's really messy to clean up by the way." Shivering she started to get dressed.
She was openly teasing him lately like she wasn't even bothered by the fact that the committee from the program had probably already reported them as the murderers of the whole lab by now. The only thing that would keep them semi-safe was the fact that his latest abilities and those that she has had apparently from her first operation would not be known by anyone aside from the dead techs from the lab and John had wiped out all of their records before he left the facility.
"So anyway, did you need something besides wanting to show off?" She asked while grinning at his attempts to get the sleeve out of the wall.
"Yeah actually I was going to tell you we need to relax and not train as hard anymore until after we find someplace safe to get ourselves organized and ready to leave Terra again."He said as she walked closer to where he was standing attached to the wall.
"We've still got a couple of weeks to go yet before we get there yet don't we? That should give us plenty more time to keep training." She asked as she phased her hand into the wall and pulled his sleeve out.
"You are way too good to have just learned how to do that a couple of weeks ago. In a standard cruiser the trip from the lab to Terra would likely take us close to two and a half months. This ship can do it in about a third of the time. So by using Volk here, we will be setting down on Terra in just two more days." He said while patting the wall that he was now free of.
"You mean to tell me that we have been traveling at three times the speed of a cruiser?" her mouth now hanging open.
"Actually Volk can max out at almost four times the speed of a cruiser but only about twice that of a four engine carrier. If I can trust you and you plan to hang around for awhile I can show you the engineering section some time." smiling down to her he slowly closes her mouth with his index finger under her chin.
Dumbstruck she watches as he walks out her hatch without even trying to open it first.
"What the hell have I gotten myself into now?"
she thought as she hurriedly unlocks the door and runs to catch up to him as he enters the bridge.
"As we drop out of hyperspace we will be slowing down considerably to keep our cover as a freighter intact. Since we are going planet-side a cover story for us being the only two onboard would be useful. I already created new identities and the proper paperwork for the both of us. I hope you are ok with being my wife since you and I won't pass as siblings. It's more likely than you being a friend just along for the ride, besides staying together will make it easier when they start looking for us. No one will be looking for us as a married couple." He rationalized to her.
