[This was the first mission the two of them had been on since they were trying to gather points for the portal project, one that would ultimately end in failure. But right now, this isn't about points. This is about just getting away for a while, away from all the heartbreak of missing friends, away from the conflict of friends who tried pushing the other away. Just a mission where everything is made up and the points don't matter. Well, the points do sort of matter, and the mission is certainly one that was already outlined and chosen by the two of them. But it's not quite their priority.
Teddy is doing his best to keep his excitement in check. They're going into space.Space! Even though he loves Earth and never wants to leave, he's always, always wanted to go to space. Hell, he can remember as a kid that if he couldn't be a super hero, he'd proclaim that he wanted to be an astronaut. And he had so many space pictures saved on his computer, and stick on glowing stars on his bedroom ceiling, both at home and in Luceti, and - okay, he's a huge space nerd.
But this is mostly about his boyfriend, who'd been hit hard by Jane's disappearance. So no matter how he feels about the dark tunnel they're walking in (he feels nothing short of disturbed, with his powers off and feeling so helpless and weak and so confined), and no matter how much bubbling excitement he feels in his chest (it all makes for rather conflicting feelings), he finds Billy's hand beside his own and takes it, lacing their fingers together, and gives him a small smile.]

Almost there. I think.
