Hey everyone. New series of one-shots here following the lives of my own character, Naomi Reed and that of my friend's character, Rila Kirza. Each one-shot will be a separate chapter (unless one is split into multiple chapters) and none of them (unless specified) will follow each other chronological as I will be showcasing them at different points in their lives. All one-shots however are set after the events of Into Darkness.

Here's my first one, which is Naomi's arrival on the Enterprise. Enjoy! And all reviews are welcome- positive or negative, just be polite about it! Thanks :)


Arriving on the Enterprise

"How long till she wakes up?"

"She received a good blow to the head James, so like I told you yesterday she'll wake up when she's ready!"

"Alright, just let me know when she wakes up. I'd like to speak to her."

Naomi Reed felt her subconscious begin to groggily awaken. Her eyes were still glued together tight leaving her in uncertain darkness. She made out the conversation but she didn't recognise the voices. Where was she? She flicked back to her file of memories, as she tried to put the pieces together.

She had landed on a baron planet with her sister-in-arms and android, Artemis. They hadn't had to worry about any hassle from any natives. No settlements were present here due to the unpredictable seismic activity. Their mission was simple. Enter the caves, retrieve an artefact then get out and exchange it for their payment. But things hadn't gone so smoothly.

Seismic activity in the caves had started up sooner than anticipated. Artemis had insisted that they leave immediately, any one of the rumblings could cause the cave to collapsed in on them. However Naomi, being her stubborn self, had refused. She had argued that they were already so close to getting the artefact that they couldn't turn back now. So they pressed on despite Artemis' protests. Naomi was determined, Artemis always had to give her that. The rumblings continued but Naomi still refused to leave as they got closer and closer to the artefact. This was the last object she needed, then she could claim her money and be gone on her way home to her mother. That very thought pushed her on as she felt her body tense and scream in silent fear every time a rumble echoed through the cave.

They had been so close.

The next rumble echoed through the cave and Naomi had no chance to move. The last thing she remembered was the ceiling falling down on her and Artemis crying out "Ms Naomi!"...

'I'm guessing that android of hers didn't give you anything?'

Naomi felt her body tense as her stomach knotted in fear. They had Artemis? It was becoming clear to her now that there was a stronger possibility that the two of them had been captured. They must have found her unconscious body and Artemis in the caves, taking them on board... whoever 'they' were.

"Not much, she just simply stated they were exploring the planet and her deep concern for her friend."

Naomi kept her eyes shut tight as she listened. She felt herself inwardly smile slightly, Artemis hadn't told them everything... good, that was very good. But she noticed the doubt in the man's voice (she presumed by 'his' tone of voice), Artemis may have lied but she wasn't very good at it and he had picked up on it.

"You don't believe her?" That was defiantly another man's voice that answered.

"No... I thought that maybe our 'guest' here might be able to clarify the details."

"Well it is known for criminals to drift on the Federation borders out here..." Naomi noticed the thick british accent in the woman's voice that added to the conversation. She heard it before when she had addressed one of the men as 'James'.

"What you think she's a criminal?"

"I'm just suggesting a possibility, it's something we should at least consider..."

Naomi gulped, she was in really trouble now. These weren't other criminals who had beef with her, but a crew of a Federation starship. If they learned the truth of herself and Artemis, they would never be able to return home and Naomi would fail her mother. She couldn't let that happen!

Waiting patiently, Naomi quickly and impulsively planned her next move. She cracked her eyes open ever so slightly to get her bearings. The room was bright and caused her to have to slip into the safety of the darkness a few times before her eyes adjusted. She spotted the group of three stood a little away from her, she didn't focus on them long and only caught glimpses of gold and blue. Her gaze turned to her right side, where something shiny and sharp caught her eye.

Perfect!

She then waited once more, closing her eyes as one of the three began to approach her.

Doctor Leonard McCoy stood with his arms folded as he listened to his friends discuss their new guest. Captain James T Kirk was adamant to give their guest a chance to explain herself when she awoke, even if they was a possibility she maybe a criminal. That didn't surprise McCoy in the slightest. Kirk had been the one to rush her to the medical bay after they picked her up along with her android, who had sent out a distress signal to the Enterprise. He clearly taken a immediate fondness for her. After all she was a pretty girl who needed help, how could Kirk refuse?

Doctor Rila Kirza, one of his best medical staff members that he would gladly pass on the Chief Medical Officer title onto if the occasion ever rose, wasn't so kind. She had observed their new arrival with uncertainty, after all this woman was a stranger to her. A stranger she didn't particularly trust. She had assisted McCoy in treating her as instructed, after all a Doctor couldn't refuse a patient. But there was something about their guest that caused her to gaze at her with cold blue eyes.

McCoy mumbled something about checking their guest's vitals, before he left Kirza and Kirk to continue their discussion that was becoming more and more heated.

He approached their 'guest', who was still soundlessly unconscious. In the few days she had been on the ship, he hadn't even learnt her name. Even her android had chosen to remain anonymous. There had been something in that android eyes that had told him that she didn't trust him. She had even remained as himself and Kirza had worked on treating her injuries. Almost like she thought they were going to try something, that they weren't going to save her friend. McCoy had to admit that hurt a little. Whether this girl was a criminal or not, he wouldn't have let her die and even though she'd never admit it, Kirza wouldn't have either.

He shook his head, shaking off the thoughts as he pulled out his scanner to check her vitals. He frowned, that was odd... why was her heart rate beginning to increase? Before he had chance to respond a fist collided with his nose. He staggered back and swore as he clutched his nose. Before he had chance to recover he felt an arm loop around his shoulder and something sharp brush against his throat.

Kirk and Kirza turned abruptly to the sound of McCoy in pain, Kirza's long locks of brown hair swishing round like a curtain caught in the wind. Their guest was a awake and angry. Her short brown hair was plastered to her head with dried blood and sweat. Her dark eyes were locked with their shocked gazes. She held McCoy firmly by the shoulder with one hand, in her other hand was a small scalp that she held alarming close to his throat.

Kirk raised his hands up, showing her he wasn't hiding anything as he tried his luck approaching her slowly.

She snapped immediately at that, "Don't come any closer or i'll gut him like a fish!"

"Okay, okay," Kirk stopped where he was, hands still raised in front of him, "Let's just calm down."

"I'll calm down when I get some answers!" she retorted.

"I told you she was a criminal..." Kirza murmured under her breath.

Kirk shot her a look as if to say 'Really? Now?'

"Firstly, where they hell am I?" their guest demanded.

"You're in the Medbay on board the USS Enterprise," Kirk answered her, "I brought you on board after your android sent out a distress signal from the planet you were visiting. Doctor Kirza here and Doctor McCoy, who you're currently using as a hostage, fixed you up when you arrived and have been keeping an eye on you ever since."

Some of her anger seemed to disappear after Kirk told her that, good at least she was grateful.

"But Artemis...where is she? What did you do with her?"she still held a firm grip on McCoy but the knife had dropped slightly from his throat.

"We didn't do anything with her, we just simply provided her with some guest quarters to stay in and recharge while you recovered," Kirk replied.

Naomi felt herself gazing into this unfamiliar man's eyes and trusting him entirely. She couldn't explain it but somehow he'd managed to rip her walls down and make her trust him. She felt her stomach drop in guilt. Here she was threatening the very people who had saved her life.

Still she couldn't be too careful, "Are telling me the truth? Is Artemis truly safe?"

"You have my word that she is safe," the man answered as he smiled slightly at her.

Naomi felt all her anger disappear as she dropped the scalp, it clattered to the floor. McCoy took his chance and slipped out of her loosened grip to stand next to the man.

"You alright?" the man asked him.

"Yeah fine.." McCoy mumbled as he held his nose and gazed at Naomi with uncertainty and alarm.

Naomi gazed at the men in front of her, unsure what to say to them. That's when she felt a sharp pain in her neck.

"Ahh," she gripped her neck and turned to see a blurred image of Doctor Kirza, a sedative gripped tightly in her grasp.

"What..." Naomi trailed off as her world spun before she hit the floor, falling into darkness again.

"Rila! What the hell?" Kirk exclaimed as he walked over to the girl lifting her up and settling her down back into her bed, "Was that really necessary?"

"Of course, it was necessary. She turned violent on medical staff," she gazed at McCoy who was still clutching his bleeding nose.

"I'd just talked her down, there was no need," Kirk shot her a small glare.

"Glare at me all you want James, it won't change anything. She became a danger, so i took a precaution. Now if you don't mind I think I better attend to Doctor McCoy." With that Doctor Rila Kirza strode away to McCoy to treat his bleeding nose.

Kirk shook his head at her as she walked away. He sighed as he gazed down at their unconscious guest, who was once again sleeping soundlessly. Who was this girl?
