Janeway’s Odyssey
By Gun Brooke

Janeway flinched and was sure she heard a pained moan from Seven. Putting some distance between them, Seven tapped her comm badge and tried to regain her breath as she answered. “Seven of Nine here. Go ahead, Captain.” “Is the cap…Is Kathryn Janeway there with you still, Seven?” “Where else would I be, Chakotay?” Janeway asked, tempering her voice even if she fumed at the interruption. “Well. Yes.” Chakotay cleared his throat. “I have recalled the entire crew from shore leave and arranged for a meeting on shuttle deck one in two hours.” “The crew knows I’m…back?” Janeway was suddenly breathless for a completely different reason than Seven’s kisses. “No. And don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying for shock value here, but…” His voice trailed off. “But you weren’t sure if I’d change my mind.” Janeway knew she sounded acerbic, but she couldn’t blame him for using caution. It’s what I would’ve done. “I want to initiate a site to site transport—“ “Not yet. Not until Seven I finish talking, and, you and I need to talk too, don’t you think? There are details to iron out.” Chakotay was silent for a moment. “I suppose there are.” “Beam Seven and myself back in an hour, directly to sickbay. I want the Doctor to confirm my identity, once and for all, before we address the issues and I reveal myself to the crowd.” “Very well, Kathryn, if that’s what you want.” “It’s the right thing to do.” “See you then. Chakotay out.” Janeway tapped Seven’s comm badge to make sure the communications were off line. “Now, where were we?” she murmured and looked up at the stoic woman. “Oh, yes, right here.” She touched Seven’s lips with her fingertips. “Kathryn.” Seven didn’t pull back, but Janeway sensed a hesitance in her that hadn’t been there while they kissed. “Yes?” “Now that we are not overtaken with desire, and thus able to think logically, are you still sure you want to engage in sexual intercourse with me?” _______________________________________________________________
