Mira tiredly made her way through the halls in Star Command, heading towards the landing bay where 42 would arrive. It was a long day and with how things were going it was going to be a long night as well.
Oh well, she thought lazily, leaning back against the wall outside the launching bay, with Buzz being with her maybe the time spent tonight wasn't going to be so bad.

42 touched down gently on her pad, and her crew… Not so gently. While climbing out of the hatch, XR tripped over his own tread, Booster tripped over XR and crashed to the floor below, then XR fell on top of Booster, and Buzz almost fell on top of them both. The trio untangled to find Mira standing there and watching them.
“Uh, hi,” Buzz smiled weakly.

Mira raised an eyebrow, not knowing what to say besides, "Hi to you too. Long day?"

Booster and XR groaned in unison. Buzz just said, “Mira, next time I get a bright idea like this… shoot me. Please.”

Mira smiled sarcastically down at Lightyear. "Really? Might as well since you hardly listen to what comes out of my mouth." She stepped away from the wall and went over to help the boys up.
"I was right, you shouldn't have gone out there without a plan."
She gave him her hand.

Warp sighed as he slid off the bed and refilled his coffee mug. "Well, I guess that totally negates anything I had to say since the point has already been made." He shook his head as he said, "When is he ever going to learn?"

“That’s not true!” Buzz protested.
Buzz shifted his jaw in irritation. “I think that’s what I just said, isn’t it?”
…
“Don’t say that,” Erin murmured, watching him. “You would’ve done the same thing.”

"You're right. I would've done the same thing." He leaned against the wall. "Erin, you know the history that Buzz and I have together. He'd be a lot better off now if he actually used his backup. Better yet, if he took someone with him that would ignore his orders if they could see he was getting kicked around the way he was." He paused. "You would've done the same thing, and somehow I think you did."

"Well, you didn't seem to listen to me when I practically begged you not to go out there. Heck, some of the times you don't listen to me at all!"
Mira pulled her hand back and decided to go help Booster and XR. "Yes, but I like hearing the plain and simple version. Not 'shoot me if I ever do that again'. You just can't admit I was right."
Why was she starting a fight now? Craters, was it because secretly she was still holding back anger from last night when Buzz went against her word? Probably. She could feel the heat rising from her chest of boiled up, suppressed anger that was finally able to be released.
But she wasn't as much angry as she was scared that this revenge mission could have been so much worse than just coming back banged up.
They couldn't have come back at all.

Erin didn’t answer immediately. “Buzz, you have to get up.” “…Sort of.” Pain flashed across her face. “He wasn’t thinking straight… but I can’t really blame him, and I won’t.” She would have dived headfirst into the situation just as Buzz had.
…
“That’s ridi – argh, never mind!”
Definitely angry now, Buzz pushed himself up to his feet – and gave a little cry of pain in the process. “Sure I can! Mira, you were right, and I was an idiot for not listening to you. There, are you happy??” And he stormed away – well, as well as he could storm away, battered as he was.
Booster and XR just traded tired looks.

"Great. Another thing we all have in common, excluding Mira." Warp pushed Erin's big red emergancy button. "We just dive right into things that should be jumped into."

"Oh, Mira's done that, too," Erin assured him. "With the energy thing and the Starthought..." She heaved a sigh, then saw him press the button. "Need something?"

"Wow! All of two times, huh?" Warp muttered to himself. "No, I don't need anything, but Buzz will."

Mira growled in frustration and she really wanted to kick the metal railing till it dented it. But she had no right to do either since 1) she started the fight and 2) the damage to the railing would come out of her already slim paycheck.
"I'm happy to know you're alright." Mira whispered faintly as she leaned against the rail rather than kicking it. Her head seemed, ironically, clearer know after the fight. Like she actually saw what she was so mad about.
"Are you guys going to say I was wrong, that I should go after him and apologies?"

"Good point," Erin nodded.
...
Booster and XR traded cautious looks, this time. "Weeell, umm..." Booster tried to say.
"You are right," XR said slowly, "but, umm... you could be, uh..."
"Nicer," Booster finished.
"...yeah," XR nodded. "Even if it was his own fault he got beaten up, it was still really, really bad. I have it on digital and I can playback, but I'd rather not have to watch that all over again." He grimaced in remembrance.
