“I’m not edgy, I’m right.” “The two are not mutually exclusive.” AvaLance
'You really need to calm down, Aves.’
'I second that, Agent Sharpe,' Gideon echoes Sara, and the Agent bristles in her seat on the Waverider.
'Would you please, dear god, listen to me? You can't actually be serious about flying the ship through that asteroid field, the Waverider isn't even supposed to be in space!'’
'We have shields for this exact purpose Ava, we have to trust they'll work.'
'We don't know that the shields will hold, this is suicide!'
'Hey Gideon,' Sara raises her voice so that the AI can hear her loud and clear.
'Yes, Captain Lance?'
'Do you feel that Ava's being a little edgy about this?'
'Well Captain, she does a point, but I believe that if we do not go through the asteroid field, we would not survive either way. Therefore, my probability measures dictate that facing the asteroid field is our best course of action,' the AI deduces, and Sara looks over to Ava with the smuggest smile on her face.
'So,' Sara continues, 'therefore you agree? Agent Sharpe is being edgy.' She doesn't take her eyes away from Ava as she asks Gideon.
'Although my language systems could probably find many more suitable words for the demeanour of Agent Sharpe -'
'Now now, Gideon.'
'I do believe that edgy would also be a correct term for her current disposition.'
'Thought so.'
Just as Sara proves her point, they are hit with a shot from the Guardians' ship.
'Ooookay, we have to go!' Sara shouts, turning the ship around and going full pelt for the asteroid field. 'Gideon, plot a course for 2023, where the others are from the other side of the asteroid belt!'
'Captain.'
'Ava, now's the time to be edgy.'
'I'm not edgy, just right.'
'For once? Those two aren't mutually -'
They hit the asteroid field.
'Exclusivvveee!'
Both Ava and Sara scream as they go through the asteroid field, bumping off quite a few in the process
'Shields at 75 percent.'
'Shields at 48 percent.'
'Shields at 24 percent.'
'We are gonna die in space and it's your fault!'
'Have a little faith Aves,' Sara said, looking back at Ava and beaming. 'Have I ever let you down before?'
Ava is about to answer, of course she has. So many times. But then she thinks, as they plummet through a body of rocks that weakens the ship.
'With shields at 12 percent, we have reached the other side of the asteroid field. Fuel is low but we should make it to 2023, Captain.'
Sara smirks, pushing the lever to take them to their teammates.
'Those little blue men got nothin' on us.'
Sara always comes through in the end.
