Fanfiction de Starsight o Nowhere

Chapter 5

NO ONE POV
-It is time, Cobb!-She said to Cobb. They were in his office. It had been a week since the date with Jorgen. They had already had a few dates more. Spensa had recovered mostly from her stay at Starsight, and she needed to search for M-bot's ship. She had been insisting Cobb for two whole days.DDF ships not fit to her, and if she got that ship back, maybe M-bot would restore his confidence to her.

-I don't know how fit you are to go to Starsight,-Cobb said with a bored expression.
-The enough, sir,-she said almost like a plea.
-And M-bot? And your slug? Are they in good condition?- He said.
-M-bot holograms are good enough to trick the Varvax. And I still have the translator pin. And the coordinates to go to Starsight.
-And in case you are attacked or captured?
-I will be strong enough to send some message or a signal. And I carry my gun-she said with a voice between decision and supplication.
-Look, Spin, I don't want to risk you,-Cobb said with a worried expression. -You know the National Assembly has been insisting on not letting you fly, and now you're asking me to let you go to the place you almost left dead.
-But Cobb, I'm still alive! Here I am! And we have everything! The ships, the holograms, everything ...-She said putting his hands on his desk. -The Assembly underestimates me, and my ship is the only one with a hipercitonic motor that engineers have not finished studying and recreating!
He paused, then grimaced, then made an expression that Spensa didn't understand.
-You may be right about that. I'll think about it.
-Yes! -She said. She made the military salute and left his office.
Then she left she went to meet the Skyward Flight.
-How did it go? -Said Jorgen.
-He said he would think about it.
-That's a start.-Kimmalyn said.
There was a pause.
-But wait... you're telling me you're trying to get Cobb to let you go to Starsight, right?- Said Arturo.
-Yep.
-Isn't that a bit risky?- Said FM.
-Yep.
They smiled. Even if they didn't admit it, it was one of the things they liked the most about Spensa.Her sincerity.

Two hours after she made the request, Cobb approached her.
- I made a decision.
-Yes?
-You can go to Starsight.
-Yasssssss! -Said Spensa making small jumps of joy.
-But ...-Cobb said in a dry voice.
-But...
-Just for a day.
-What?! - she said surprised.
-Look Spin, -he put a hand on his forehead -I don't consult the Assembly, they have their own work to do.-his expression seemed tired -I have made this decision myself, in breach of the rules. They believe that you still follow resting. So if you go away for a day, they won't be very suspicious.
-One day is too little!
-That or nothing. I am not going to risk my position in the DDF any more than I am already doing.
-I ...- Spensa wanted to protest, but she knew that Cobb was right. He was taking a big risk and one day was better than nothing-Okay.
-Well, in that case, you will leave tomorrow in the early morning.
She thanked him and said goodbye with a military salute.
She quickly went to the dining room along with the Skyward flight. She sat next to Jorgen. She whispered something to him.
-So what did he say to you?- Kimmalyn asked.
-That I can go ... for a day.
-What a condition-said Sadie.
-Yes, I know. I'll be leaving tomorrow morning,- I said.
She didn't tell them why for a day. Perhaps because some of his parents had contact with the Assembly. It is not that she didn't trust them, she just ... preferred to avoid the risk. She would tell them when she returned.
-Well, you should start packing now-Said FM.
-Probably. - I said.
Then she finished her meal and went to the girls' room to pack the few things she needed. Cobb had given her a small break that covered the whole afternoon and all night. Enough to sleep and get ready. She also went to tell M -bot and Doomslug that they were leaving.
-Spensa,-M-bot said, -do we really have to go back there?
-Calm, it will only be for one day.
-Still, I don't really like that place.
-Then you prefer to continue being a drone with a CPU slower than a snail?
-Noooooooooooo, but ...
-But what?
-Do you know the term "trauma"?
-Yes.
-Well, I think that is what happens to me with that place. It is in what fits in the human concept of traumatic. The experiences that I have there...
-I understand, but we need that ship, and if you do not accompany me, I will have no one to guide me about the species, places, and help me with the holograms.
-Okay.- He paused. -One day, right?
-One day.
At that moment someone knocked on the door.
-Can I come in? -Said the voice of Jorgen.-you said you needed to talk to me.
There was a small silence.
-Yes ... Cobb did not tell the Assembly that I was leaving, that's why I can only go for a day.
-What?!
-Do not say anything!
Okay,- he said, rolling his eyes, -thanks for telling me,- he added sincerely.
-You always trust me, and well as we are now ...- she paused - you know.
She still hadn't called him her boyfriend, she hadn't had time to think about if they were a couple.
He nodded uncomfortably.
Changing the subject, Spensa said:
-Are you not worried about me going to Starsight?
The truth is that he was a little afraid for her, but he was sincere.
-No. I know you are capable and ...
Again, she hugged him off guard.
-I like it when you hug me without telling me.-he said.
-Me too.-she said.

-Awwwww, you guys are so cute!- M-bot said, whispering and adding, -Did you notice? That's what humans say when a couple is cute.
Doomslug imitated M-bot.
They smiled and she replied: -Yes M-bot, we noticed.
-Great! -M-bot said, as if he had completed some achievement, although Spensa remembered that for him it was an achievement: adapting to human culture.

Then Jorgen gave her a kiss and left with the squad to continue practicing. She kept checking everything she had to carry.

Then she thought of his mom and Gran-Gran. It would be a day. They wouldn't notice. She would tell them later.

She said goodbye to the Skyward Flight and slept a little. Then she got up at 3 AM in the morning, grabbed her backpack, Doomslug, M-bot, and the translator pin. Then she went to the flight platform, where the engineers had left a ship for her. M-bot activated his holograms. The holograms were weaker than the previous ones, much more. But they were strong enough to fool the Varvax and the other species. She was a crimson-colored dione. M-bot kept the ropes from the places they had been before, including Starsight.
She was a little scared, but deep inside she knew she was capable, she had to, for Detritus. For her family.For her friends.For Jorgen.

Then they left for Starsight.
