Star trek. Tim Travel
Hey, this is a story based off of the idea of the Time Traveler's Wife. Hope it's ok and if it doesn't make sense just go with it. XD
I was born to two amazing parents. My mother was a well respected lawyer and my father was a doctor. THye worked together for the betterment of others. That was their goal in life: to make the world better. They were good people. I would have loved them. I know they loved me. I never got to meet them. When I was a few months old, old enough to be left with a nanny, my parents went out for a date. They probably needed it. I bet my crying was enough to keep them up at night. They were going out to dinner and a movie. They were at their favorite restaurant, one I would never eat at, when a crazed man ran in and shot up the place. There were few causalties and most were injured. The low tally of deaths was because of my father. My mother was shot and my father had tried to jump and stop the man. He was shot as well. HE had enough time to get the gun away from the man before he bled out. This act of bravery is something he left behind. But it wasn't the only thing left behind.
The lawyer and doctor left behind their newborn daughter. My mother was disowned for marrying my dad. And my father had no family. My mother's family wanted nothing to do with me. So I was left to grow up in a children's home.
It wasn't all that bad. I was treated well enough, fed and given a place to stay.
The children's home was in Oklahoma, in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere. It was surrounded by plains that was lined by trees. It was far away from the busy life of cities, but every now and again, I could see a star fleet ship leaving earth. I would always run outside and try to chase it. I was a dreamer, a whimsical child. I was also alone. I didn't have friends, if I did they were adopted. I never knew what it was like to have a family. But I always dreamt of adventure and that would have to do.
I waited and dreamt of something big happening to me, a little girl in Oklahoma. And one day it did.
I was eight when it happened.
It was a sunny day and I was doodling in my room, not caring about the school work I had to do when I heard one of the spaceships. I jumped and sprinted to the porch. It was so low!
I did what I always did. I ran after it. I usually stopped at the end of the field but today I ran through the woods. I kept running, keeping my eyes on the ship and not paying attention to where I was going.
The ground turned into a steep slope and I fell down the hill. When I stopped rolling, th ship was gone and I could no longer hear it. I sat and looked around. I was in a small field that held many steep hills and a few trees spotted the clearing. I saw one tree that arched over and touched the ground before going up again. Like a sideways "s". I walked over and saw that past it was another steep slope.
And at the bottom of the steep slope stood two men. They looked up at me and the one in yellow waved. I stood half behind the tree and stared at the odd duo. I furrowed my eyebrows and waved back. I wasn't scared by thse two, they seemed like they knew me. The two slowly walked up the hill.
When they got near enough, the man in the funny yellow shirt kneeled down.
"Hi. Is your name Izzy?" The man said. MY tiny brown eyes widened and I nodded.
"MY name's Isabell Gordon. What's yours?" I said quietly. The man in yellow msiled and his blue eyes shined brightly.
"My name is Jim Kirk. I'm a captain on a star ship. This is my friend Mr. Spock. He works on the ship too." He said pointing to the tall man in blue behind him. He didn't smile but lookd calm enough. He was probably nice.
"You guys work on a star ship?!" I said amazed. The guy in yellow nodded. "Yea. I am."
"Can you tell me about adventures!" I exclaimed excitedly. Jim laughed at my enthusiasm. "I think we have time for a few stories." He said and sat under the tree.
"Captain, are you sure…" The man in blue asked stepping forward before stopping.
"We have enough time. I'm sure we can spare our good friend some story time." Kirk said. Spock nodded in understanding and I noticed a slight hint of sadness tried to appear on his face. It was like he had a sad memory. He sat down with us. I was in between the two.
Kirk went off on his stories. He told me about how he had defeated a mean man who was trying to kill Spock for something and about his run ins with smugglers. I sat and listened until he told me a story about a man named Khan.
"But he was trying to save his family! It wasn't his fault!" I interjected. I startled puling at my long brown hair. "But he didn't have to blow everything up." I added. I felt bad for the man and Kirk did too.
I listened intently ashe told about how Spock saved Khan's family. I turned and smiled at him. I then noticed his pointy ears. I stared at them.
"Woah." I breathed. He noticed what I was looking at and his odd eyebrows furrowed. I stood and poked them . He twitched but let me. It seemed like this was something that happened a lot. Kirk laughed at me and I noticed Spock turned a bit green.
"Woah! You turn green! How do you do that? Can you teach me?!" I exclaimed.
"That would be impossible as you are human. I am Vulcan and therefore have green blood." He said calmly. Kirk was trying not to laugh as I pouted and sat back down, pulling at my hair.
"Stop that, you're gonna go bald." Kirk laughed and took my wrists away from my hair. "Your hair is long and going to get messed up. Do you want me to braid it?" He asked. I beamed. "Yes please! No one at the home will braid it for me! And the boys there are mean and pull my hair all the time. Jim chuckled.
As he braided my hair, I asked Spock lots of questions.
"What's a Vulcan? Are you an Alien? Speak Vulcan! What is your favorite subject when you were in school?" Once we got into science and math, which they soon learned I didn't like too much, Spcok suggested I try thinking of it as a challenge or game. A puzzle perhaps. HE urged me to do the best I can in school, and learn everything I could. It would come in handy one day. He told me to do the best I could and I promised him I would. I even made a pinky promise. It took him a while before he agreed to pinky promise. Apparently Vulcans don't do touch.
The sun was setting and it was almost time for dinner. Kirk and Spock stood and said they had to go.
"No! Don't go!" I cried as I held onto Jim's leg.
"Izzy, you have to let go. We need to get back to our ship. And you need to go home. It's getting dark." He gently got me off his legs.
"But you're gonna leav! You gusy are my frineds! I don't have any frineds! Please don't go!" I wailed. Kirk kneeled down infront of me.
"Hey, don't cry. You will see us again. It might not be for a while but we will be back. Right here in this meadow. Ok?" He said. I stopped crying a bit.
"Promise?"
"Pinky Promise." He said and I took his pinky. "Ok." I muttered.
He stood and started to walk away.
"But how will you know it's me?!" I yelled. What if they forgot me? Jim walked over and handed me something. I took it. It was a beat up, silver zippo lighter. "When you see us again, use this to show us ok?" I nodded and held it close to my heart. It had the Starfleet emblem on it. I would use it keep them fresh in my mind. I hugged Jim and tried to do the Vulcan sign with my hand. Spock smiled at my attempt and gave me the same salute. He had only just taught me and didn't expect an eight year old to do it perfectly.
I watched as my two friends walked away and disappeared into the trees. I turned to go home.
I reached the house right before it got dark. I ran upstairs and hid the lighter. I would treasure that lighter for the years to come and I took Spock's advice and did the best I could in school. I turned out to be really smart and graduated at the age of 17.
Growing up wasn't easy but it never is. I still had no friends and the oys ended up pulling out the braid Jim gave me. I gave them a fat lip.
In school I excelled in sciences like biology and chemistry. Spock would be proud, I hopped. And as often as I could I would run to the meadow to see if they were there. As I got older, I would spend summer weekends camping there.
When I was 15, I was out in the meadow when sirens started blasting. They were the tornado sirens. Terrified, I sprinted back to the home.
I ran into the house and almost went into the cellar but ran up to my room. I would not risk loosing the lucky lighter.
I barely made it into the cellar when the tornado hit near the house.
The damage was bad. The house was almost leveled. The once four story house now held two floors. Debris littered the field and we had to move. Because a few of us were old enough to live on our own, we had to find our own places in a nearby town. I got my license and a cheap old truck. The government was willing to help us few get started. They paid for our cars, tuition and the first few months of rent. I got a job and finished school early. I barely had time to go to the meadow.
I hadn't been able to go to the meadow since I graduated.
I am 19 now.
Stepping out of the shower, I dried off quickly and got into comfy clothes. A worn pair of ripped jeans tucked into strudy work boots. It was fall so I pulled on a cotton black tee and used a blue and white plaid flannel shirt as a jacket. I looked in the mirror. If Jim and Mr. Spock saw me today I doubt they would recognize me.
I cut off my long brown hair so it was really short. My bangs reached my cheeks and were dyed a slightly greyish blue. The rest of my short hair was its natural brown. My eyes were the same though. The same dark drown. I grew up too. I was still siy and a dreamer but had my wits about me.
I was abit taller, barely reaching 5'1. I smiled at my reflection. I had plenty of time today, I could go back to the meadow.
It had been about a year since I have been there, and it was more for sentiment than actually expecting to see them. I still hoped one day I would run into them. I grabbed my old black bag filled with a water bottle, dried fruit and a first aid kit with an old hoodie and threw it in my old pick up truck. I climbed in and went to the still destroyed children's home I grew up in.
I was flying down the old dirt road and an ironic song came on the radio. I listend to old music. I mean really old music. Music from the early 2000's. It came out in 2012 or 2013. It was called Blown Away. I loved it. It reminded me of the day when the tornado hit.
I sang along.
Not long after, I pulled up in front of the remaining of the house. IT was overgrown with vines. I ventured in. I looked around, found the old kitchen and living room. I ventured into the cellar. One of the stairs broke and I almost fell through. The rest of the stairs were fine.
I tried the lights, they didn't work. I pulled out my lucky zippo that was given to me by my friends from the medow and used it for light. I ventured into one of the hidden rooms that had a secret door. I would often hide there and read. It was one of the few quiet places.
When I got out of the house I grabbed my bag and headed out through the field and into the words. I hiked the tiny trail that was almost hidden in the overgrowth to my tiny sanctuary.
The leaves of fall were falling with the wind. Their bright colors were so beautiful. I found the opening easily. tHe grasses grew taller and I hiked down the hills. I was making my way up the hill to the tree. When I got there I stood and looked around. It was so quiet. The wind rustled the leaves and I smiled. It had been so long since ihad been there. I leaned against the odd shaped tree and relaxed. I missed the two men, I really did, but lately I was wondering if the other kids were right. Maybe they were imaginary. But then where did I get the lighter.
Suddenly, I felt the earth shake beneath me. Like something had crashed into the ground. I looked around.
"What the hell?" I muttered. I heard someone running. I looked at the bottom of the hill. Out of the woods ran two men. One in yellow, the other in blue. I couldn't believe my eyes.
I almost jumped in joy. But three figures followed after them. I watched as the two men turned and shot them with phasers. They were being chased. And I was going to help them.
"Hey!" I called. They spun to look at me. I jumped and waved, smiling the whole time. "C'mon! I can hide you! C'mon!" I waved. "Hurry!" I saw the two look at each other. Seeing as they had no option they ran up the slope. Once they were close enough I knew they wouldn't lose me, I turned and ran through the woods. The two men quickly caught up to me and slowed to match my speed. We ran through the woods and burst out of the tree line. I kept running to the house.
"Why are we going there?! You can't hide us there!" Jim exclaimed.
"Shut up and keep running." I laughed. The two followed me to the house. I lead them to the basement. "Go down, I'll be there in a minute!" I ran to the truck and jumped in it. I drove it next to the house, shut if off and pulled vines down to cover it and make it look old. I then climbed through te itchen window and flew down the cellar stairs. I landed with an off in the dark.
"Great, now what?" I heard jim ask. I laughed, "C'mon!" I opened the door to my secret room and shoved them in. Shutting the door, we crouched by a wall. We all heald our breaths.
I heard footsteps upstairs and angry voices in an odd language.
"What are they?" I whispered. "Klingons." Jim answered. I snapped my head to him. "On earth?!"
"It would be wise for all of us to remain silent to avoid detection." Spock shushed us. I heard the cellar door open and I froze. I heard someone trudging down the steps. They were heavy and one of the steps broke. I heard them falling and had to stifle a laugh.
Eventually, the trio heard themleaving and they waited in silence a few minutes after they heard them leave the house.
"I believe it is safe to assume they are gone." Spock muttered. I slowly opened the door, incase one stayed behind. Seeing no one I threw opne the door and lept out. I was practically bouncing off the walls.
"Oh my god! You gys are her! Holy hsit! I knew I wasn't crazy! I missed you gusy so much! I knew you would come back one day!" I was jumping around and turned to face them as they climbed out of the room.
"It's so good to see you again!"
They looked t each other. "Do you know her?" Kirk asked Spock. My smile faultered.
"Not that I am aware of. But she seems to know us. Perhaps she is mistaking us for someone." Spock answered.
"No! No way! I Know you two! You are Captain Jim Kirk and you are Mr. Spock! You guys are the only friends I have ever had! You gave me a lighter Jim!" I yelled as I pulled it out. He looked at it and looked at me. He was thoroughly confused.
"How do you have Bones' lighter?" I furrowed my eyebrows.
"You gave it to me…" I muttered, pulling it close to my heart. "The day we met. 11 years ago. You told me about the man from the future, the other spock, Khan. You told me about all of you adventures! You braided my hair and called me a friend. Spcok, you must remember! I grabbed your ears!" I begged. Maybe they forgot me after all. They both looked at me oddly. Then something clicked.
"Eleven years ago. You guys should look older now, but you look the same. How is that possible?" I brought a hand to my lip in thought.
"Look, I don't know who you are. Sorry, but we need to get back to our shuttle and back to our ship." Kirk said.
"We can take my truck back to the meadow." I said as I turned and ran up the stairs. They followed.
I threw the vines off my truck and Kirk and Spock were climbing in. I opened the door when a surge of energy hit the door and something bounced off to hit me in the arm. I turned to see a Klingon at the edge of the woods. Kirk shot him but noth before the Klingon called to his team. I climbed in, trying to ignore my arm. I took off and flew through the field, the path was wide enough to get the truck halfway through the woods. We ran the rest of the way. I followed the two to their crashed shuttle. I took in the sight. AN actual shuttle!
Kirk leaned in and called to someone on a com. Spock turned to me. "You are injured. One of our medical officers will tend to it." I nodded and treid to grab my bloodied arm to rub it. "Do not touch it." Spock ordered. I nodded.
"Scotty, do you have us?" I heard Jim ask. A Scottish accent came over the comms. "I 'have all three of ya. Beamin' up now."
Bright swirling lights surrounded us and I reached out an amazed hand to try to tough one. Before I could, the woods around us disappeared and was replaced by the most amazing sight I have ever seen. I was in a Starship. A fucking Starship! I looked around amazed. I heard someone talking to Jim and I just looked around the pad before stepping off. I slowly spun in a circle and was startled when a man in blue grabbed my injured arm and gently yanked.
"Don't. touch. Me you . asshole!" I yelled and swatted by good arm at him, hitting his arm and shoulder several times before he backed up.
"Dammit, Jim! You had to bring back a civilian! A child too! Im a dctor not a babysitter!" My face got red. "Im not a kid! Im 19, dammit!." I fumed.
"Look, this is our doctor he needs to look at your arm." Jim said to me, rubbing the back of his neck. I calmed down. "Follow him to the medbay. Spock and I will be down shortly." I nodded and complied. I did what Jim asked me to do and allowed the doctor to usher me down to the medbay. I wish I could somehow convince them that they do know me! What can I do?
I sat on one of the beds and removed my flannel shirt. The doctor tended to my arm.
"Sorry I hit you." I muttered. He grunted. "Yea. Sorry I startled ya I guess." I smiled a bit. He was gruff but I could tell he had a teddy bear character deep down. I sat in silence and waited for my two frineds to arrive. I told the doctor my name and all the info he needed.
The doors swished open and I hopped down and ran to hug Jim. He let me and I stood back.
"Even though you don't remember, it's still good to see you. HE stared at me curiously. I just smiled.
"Ok. I got nothing. Who are you."I sighed as Jim asked who I was.
"My name is Isabell Gordon. You can call me Izzy." I sighed.
"And how do you know us?" Kirk asked.
I told them about the day I met them, they were just confused. I pulled outthe lighter.
"Before you left, you gave me this so you would know who I was!" The doctor forrowed my eyebrows.
"What the hell? That's mine." He ran to his desk and opened a drawer pulling out a matching one.
I opened mine and showed them the inscription of Bones that was on the back. He too had one.
"SO why does It say Bones?" I asked Jim. "It's a nickname I gave him. But how do you have one just like him?" I rolled my eyes.
"I just told you!Please, you gotta believe me! Is there anyway I can convince you? Mr. Spock! Surely it must be possible!"
Spock thought for a moment. "Though it seems impossible, there is a chance you have met us from the future."
I thought about it. He was right. Maybe I met them after they had met the present me. Ugh that makes no sense. Then an idea came to me.
"The other Spock!" I yelled.
"what?" Jim asked. I rolled my eyes. "The other Spock you met facing Nero? Maybe he knows something!" Kirk's face lit up and he turned from the room. I followed. He commed the bridge, telling them to get a hold of the old Spock.
"Captain, Spock Prime has Just boarded the Enterpise. HE is in dock two. He arrived by shuttle." A woman's voice said over the comm. Kirk looked back at me. I raised my hands in defense. "I didn't do it." I was becoming unnerved by them not knowing who I was. I followed them up to one of the conference rooms. There, an older Spock sat in one of the chairs. The woman over the comm had told us to meet him there. Me, Kirk and Spock filed into the room. I stood near the doorway, completely uncomfortable. Kirk and Spock sat while the old Spock stood and slowly made his way to me.
"Izzy. It really is you." He said quietly. I looked at him.
"Mr. Spock? You remember me?" I whispered.
"I remember you as if it was yesterday." He said with the tiniest of smiles. I grinned and tears of relief swam in my eyes. I jumped and gave him a huge hug wich he actually returned.
"Oh my god! It is you! I've missed you! It's been so long!" I said as I let him go.
"Indeed it has." He responded.
Kirk stood. "Spock, could you inform us on exactly what is going on here?" He really didn't know who I was. It almost hurt but I had to remind myself that he probably hasn't met me yet.
"This is Izzy Gordon. She became a good friend of yours and mine and helped through a few trials. IT seems that even though Nero has altered the timeline, your acquaintance with her is still the same. You and I met her in the same manner but we did not have another Spock to tell us how we had met her. Unfortunatly, I cannot tell you much without further damaging time. It si something that you will have to go through. But I do encourage you to befriend her quickly. It will not be difficult." He finished. Kirk and the younger Spock Looked at me.
"What do we do with her? There isn't anything she can do on this ship and she needs to go home. She has family, we can't just take her with us."
"Any family I have never wanted anything to do with me. The building we hid in was the children's home I grew up in . A tornado got it a few years ago and my parents were shot when I was a baby. You two were the only friends I ever had. It lasted only a few hours." I nfomre them, a neutral look on my face. Kirk rose his yebrows.
"What about Starfleet-"
"I have already discussed it with the Admiral. He is aware of her and the situation. He wishes for her to stay on the ship. She will help with the upcoming tribulations."
Kirk sighed and ran a hand through is short hair.
"Captain. Perhaps we could give her a small amount of training. She can help in many areas of the ship that include manual labor." The young Spock suggested.
"She is quite intelligent and fast learner. I do hope you took my advice and excelled in any subject you could." The old Spock said to me. I smiled and nodded.
"Yup! I got really good at science and pretty fair at math. I even graduated school early and took advanced university classes. Not many but some." The old Spock smiled a bit t me. "Very good. I believe everything is settled then. Now if you will excuse us, I believe Izzy and I have some catching up to do." Spock said as he ushered me from the room, leaving an confused Spock and Kirk.
WE walked in silence for a few minutes. We didn't have any specific destination. "So, it seems you have excelled in your acedemics. I am pleased." Spock said, breakign the silence. I smiled.
"I did it because yo told me to. I hoped one day i would make it into the Academy and then on a starship." I explained.
"You will need all of your knowledge, strength and courage for the times ahead. Follow your instinct, it will not misguide you." Spock said. I frowned.
"Spock, what happens?" I asked worried. He stopped walking and stared at me. I saw a small sadness in his eyes.
"You will go through hardships. But you will come out of them and you will become friends with the crew again." He smiled. "You were such a light ot the ship. You became close with many of the crew members but were closest to the doctor, the captain and myself." I smiled.
"Hold onto that lighter and befriend everyone you can. BE patient with the two boys. They will warm up to you quickly but remember they do not know you. I suggest you play chess with them soon. I assume you have improved your skills?" I nodded. We continued walking.
"So, Isabelle Gordon, tell me about your life so far."
We walked around the ship for a while, i filled him on on my life and he listened. It was good to see him again.
After a while he led me to the med-bay. Outside the doors he stopped me and placed a hand on my shoulders.
"It is time for me to leave. Stay strong, even in times when it seems all hope is lost. Trust these people and keep your courage." HE told me. I nodded. He looked at me for a few more moments before pulling me into a hug.
When he released me he gave me the Vulcan salute and i returned it. He turned to leave and i watched my friend go. With a sad smile i turned and walked into the medbay. Spock and Jim were there talking to Bones. My smile grew. My friends were here. They may not knwo me yet, but by god they were going to love me. I was determined to make it so.
hey. I am so sorry about the mistakes but I am trying to get this and the second chapters up tonight. Tell me what you think so far. Also, should i do a Spirk pairing?
and is there any pairings you guys want to see? if so let me know! please reveiw i love ideas.
I hope you enjoyed it!
