canon is Sunshine (2007)

Be realistic. You don't have time for this and neither do I. The help I could provide people at either of the places you have in mind is minimal at best - no one wants to play babysitter to the physicist out of his water in a [ minute sigh ] hell dimension.

Get it out of your system with this and move on.

You are correct, of course. It is futile to think your actions will have any effect- we will all soon be no more than memories.

[ A shallow, dry swallow. God, Pinbacker, why are you out to ruin his time always ]

Memories. [ a pause ] Dust. Whatever.

It doesn't matter, as long as the mission is complete.

[He smirks, showing his teeth.]

You still believe you can save all mankind, now God has turned his back on them? Foolish.

[ A twitch of his jaw tightening ]

I don't believe in God.

How fortunate for you, young man.

He no longer believes in you.

Or you.

Life will go on without him.

Careful, you'll give her the impression you want a babysitter.

[ The corner of his lips tug minutely, twitching into a small smile. Hi Cassie. ]

There's been times it was more deserved. A little late now.

[ his smile coaxes one out of her. she can't help it. ]

I can think of a few off the top of my head, but I have a feeling the times you're thinking of are a lot different. [ a press of her lips. ] So, hell dimensions?

[ He gives a little shrug ]

Cory and Kaneda sufficed well enough other times. [ He doesn't particularly want to bring up the other times. Focusing instead on the times when fights with Mace were his biggest worry.

Another twitch of his lips and he looks down to his hands ] That's the popular story.

Well, if Mace isn't going to be there, you may not need such strict babysitters. [ said in an almost teasing, but fond tone. her voice is quiet, though. she's really considering what "hell dimensions" might entail for capa. ]

Maybe not so popular. You don't look very excited. [ she dips her head almost as if she's going to seek out his gaze, but then stops herself and folds her arms across her chest. ]

[ His jaw tightens for a moment, only as the flash of memory passes over him - blue lights highlighting Mace's still form, seen through the thin window of the suit. He clears his throat, pushing past it. ] Maybe. I'd like to think I wouldn't need one, but I thought the same before too.

[ Catching her head dip out of the corner of his vision, he glances back up, not wanting to be any kind of rude to her. He head tilts as a hand goes to scrub over his chin. ] It's just... strange. [ A momentary pause, eyes sliding to the side. ] I'd thought it was over.

[ In comparison to what he's coming from, he finds himself somehow not as worried about what's entailed for the future ]

So you do want one. [ but the playful quality to cassie's voice is gone. she's spent enough time around capa to know what the subtle clenching of his jaw means and there's a moment where her fingers itch to touch him, to reassure him. even though she resists, the urge might be obvious by the way she drops one of her arms to her side and still keeps the other wrapped across her waist.

but she's careful enough to give him another flash of a smile, though her eyes betray it. she's never been well versed in masking her emotions and lying to him won't do any good. ] It never seems to be with them. But maybe...

[ she interrupts herself, drawing her lower lip between her teeth to worry it for just a moment before she continues: ] Maybe she'll send you somewhere with the sun.

[ no matter what happens, she's still clinging to that hope. ]

[ He glances back, registers the worry and the attempt to smile through it for what it is, and offers her a small half-smile. ] Might not want. But maybe need.

[ He stills for a moment, watches her, and thinks it over. With all the horror the star had caused them, and with the last memory he has of it, it's odd to think of just... basking in Earth's natural light. Of enjoying the success of the mission.

There's a contented sort of look on him and his voice softens slightly. ] I'd like that. I... can barely remember what warmth through an atmospheric filter is.

[ for what it's worth, that small half-smile of his soothes the growing knot in her stomach. she can't help but worry about him — capa who is so withdrawn and quiet except when the tension manages to stretch him thin. ] At least you can admit it. It's not such a bad idea.

[ the sun haunted cassie's dreams, drove her to the point of night terrors on many occasions. there's a part of her that's afraid of the star, but even she can't deny the appeal of maybe someday being able to feel the sun's rays on her skin without the threat of burning alive.

hope completely colors her expression and she nods, a growing smile tugging at her lips as she watches him. but she slips easily into a playful sort of tone: ] Maybe you could even get a tan. But — [ she stops ducks her head in an almost sheepish manner. ] If you do go somewhere like that, will you come back and tell me about it, Capa?

[ He considers it for a moment - having someone he could have put his reliance on. Someone else in that spot of the one person between extinction and the survival of mankind. He won't admit it, because that's not the way it was and there's nothing that will change it, and either way, he wouldn't pass it on even if he had the choice. But maybe. Maybe. ] I can think of worse things.

[ A soft laugh comes from him at that and his lips press together in a smile, slight and understated but Cassie's always been able to get that from him. Just the thought of standing under the sun's warmth on a clear day. ] Sure. I'll visit a beach for you. Try surfing. [ all things that would be ridiculous statements back on the earth they new. ]
