Work Text:
The first time Raleigh puts on his drive suit, it feels like he’s literally picking up all their hopes and dreams, all their hard work, the weight of everything they’ve struggled for over the past couple years, and settling it over his shoulders only to find that actually, it fits pretty damn well.
He looks over and knows that Yancy is thinking the same thing.
For about three seconds.
Then Yancy says, “Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?”
“These aren’t the droids you’re looking for,” retorts Raleigh, waving his left hand.
“TK-421, why aren’t you at your post?” says Tendo over the comms, because he’s a stand-up guy.
Then Marshal Pentecost’s voice rings out, “You have failed me for the last time.”
He’s joking.
Probably.
They look at each other, and get in the conn-pod.
