Summary: They are in an elevator
Notes: For the LiveJournal Writer's Choice "In an elevator" challenge.
They are, they both know, so screwed.
They are in an elevator, on a top-secret Scarran base, on their way to who knows where, endeavouring to start a conflict that will hopefully allow them to save the life of Scorpius of all people.
They may not succeed; indeed they may die in the attempt, but it wouldn't be the first time for her, neither, in a way, for him.
They are in an elevator, on a top-secret Scarran base, and on his body, there is a nuclear device powerful enough to kill everybody on board.
In hers, there is a child that may not be his.
They are so screwed, and they are in an elevator, on a top-secret Scarran base, but they are together.
They are together, in an elevator on a top-secret Scarran base, and they are dancing. Their bodies are pressed together, her feet on top of his, her head on his shoulder, and while it's perfect, they know it can't last.
They also know that that doesn't matter.
For now, they are together, in an elevator, and they are dancing, and it's more than enough.
Not only that.
It is everything.
