T. An Obscure AU. Tripp, Daisy, and Jemma
“Five clicks!” Daisy shouts, leaning over the edge of the boat, her hand white-knuckled on the rope. The waves are rough beneath her, gold crashing up into the air, obscuring her view of the path ahead. On the horizon, she can see the portal, growing larger by the second. For the first time in years, she feels a small sliver of hope.
“How’s the ship holding up?” Trip shouts from his spot at the helm, he’s doing his best to steer their ship to where it needs to go, but the storm had been unexpected. He was a good pilot, but the outside circumstances meant he could only do so much.
“She’s holding up okay,” Jemma answers, the tablet in her hands showing the statistics of the ship. “We took on some damage to sales, but with the reinforcement, we did at the last port we should be alright and we need-”
Jemma’s voice was swallowed by the storm as a large bolt of lightning hit across the sky. Their ship leaned dangerously to one side, leaving all three of them scrambling to not fall off the ledge. Daisy had almost fallen off the ship completely, but she had tightened her grip on the rope and swung up on the other side when the ship straightened itself out.
“Tighten your bonds,” Trip shouts. The storm had been unexpected but he knew it was somehow connected to the portal up ahead. The closer they got, the more violent the sky was around them. It was a way to keep unwanted visitors out. “I don’t know what’s going to happen when we hit that portal and I want my girls safe!”
Daisy rolls her eyes at the statement of being one of Trip’s girls, but it was mostly for show. The three of them had been through thick and thing together for the past three years now. They belonged to one another just as the whales belonged to the sky around them. Beside her, Jemma is tightening her bonds, her tablet long gone in the last harsh wave of the ship. Daisy double checks her knots, making sure that there was no way for it to slip.
“We’re so close,” Jemma says to Daisy, her eyes bright with emotion. “Daisy, we’re going to make it.”
“I know,” Daisy says, and grabs Jemma’s face in her hands, kissing her passionately. “Let’s get to Trip so we can do this together.”
They make their way up to Trip who was looking at the two of them with such devotion in his eyes, that there was no doubt in anyone's mind that he was in love with the two of them. They stand at the helm with their captain, the wind rushing through them as the gold sky splits into the black of the portal.
At once they all reach for one another, not knowing what lies ahead, but knowing that whatever it is, they will face it together.
