As it turned out, it was complicated. Jackson held Artemis as still as he could make it—a feat unto itself. Jackson was actually breaking a sweat keeping the controls steady. And us using two small shuttles that looked like they might be a hundred years old to reach the Super Soldiers’ ships. I sat next to Canyon on one shuttle while Ari and Ro traveled on another. Artemis’ armor pushed us away, as it had been designed to do, and all we had to do was float toward our particular ship.

Something obvious hadn’t occurred to me earlier, and I turned to Canyon. We sat close, our legs touching and his hand on my knee. “Could you just talk to their computers?”

“I don’t want to alert the computer that I’m there. I’m somewhat concerned that the computer may just be set to immediately wake the entire fleet in the event it senses an intruder. The little I’m going to mess with it will be the most I want to touch it at all. I’m not enough tuned into the tech since the operation.”

I nodded. That made sense in as much as I could understand it at all to begin with. “I don’t want you pushing too hard on your end either. I don’t want you going down whatever rabbit hole you did to get into that situation to begin with. If that is possible. I mean, how can you hear the machines at all anymore?”

He shook his head. “I don’t know, but I’m not risking losing the ability to see you or speak to you. I can still touch your light. I won’t lose anything. I have… plans.”

“Which would be what?”

Canyon leaned over to kiss my cheek. “I want to see you holding a baby in the sunlight on a clear day when it’s not too warm, not too cold. I want to stand there and see that.”

I gasped. “Canyon.” That imagery was… enticing. I’d never imagined really being married and now here we were. Babies? That had been a dream.

“Unless you don’t want that. In which case I will alter my plans.”

I kissed him hard. “I want that.”

His smile was fast. “Good.”

The shuttle came to a stop and Canyon raised his eyebrows. “It goes without saying that I am in charge in there and you stay behind me. If I say run, you run. You don’t ask why.”

I hadn’t let myself feel the anxiety of this. It had been my own idea, after all. I didn’t get to have nerves. Every one of us was risking our lives to get it done. But right then it hit me. We were going on an enemy spaceship filled to the brink with unconscious men who had spent their lives killing for Evander Corporation. They might someday be Canyon, Rohan, or Sterling but they weren’t yet. If one of them woke up from stasis—even one of them—there was every chance life was over for all of us.

I swallowed and Canyon frowned. “I didn’t say that to make this worse.
