Her eyes were the strangest he'd ever remember seeing.
One green, one grey.
They stared into infinite space, her mouth open in a silent screech that would never be heard again. She'd been awake when frozen. Now she would never wake again. Khan could see the purple marks on her petite wrists from where her restraints bruised her.
She was gone, but still in front of him. He was all alone now, besides his sister. He'd been foolish, forcing his mate into something she didn't want. He had been selfish.
Her alabaster skin was a perfect white, paper like in appearance. Even through the glass he could still find himself counting her freckles. Clad in the standard pod dress code, a skin-tight black top and pant, she was even attractive in her dead, frozen state. Her bright red hair was tied in a messy knot, half fallen out from her struggle. She was tiny, only coming to Kahn's lower pectoral region. He remembered thinking her only a teenaged girl whenever they first met.
"Mr. Harrison, your time is up." A relatively authoritative voice called, causing Khan to falter. Sparing himself one last look at her pain-filled face, he turned on his heel and walked passed the other capsules that held his crew, his eyes falling on his sister's sleeping face whenever he passed her.
Nurses tending to the pods were passing Khan, perhaps doing their rounds, as he walked toward the waiting guards. Some smiled to him briefly in recognition, some in pity, some out of fear. When Khan passed through the door leading into a sort of entry hallway, he could've sworn some nurses were gathered around the same pod he'd been silently weeping over. General Marcus stood firmly in the hallway, smirking. "I hope you have found your motivation again, John. I really do."
Biting back a hiss, he simply replied: "Yes, sir."
A sedative strong enough to knock out a Vulcan during Pon Farr was sent through his bloodstream, causing him to loose consciousness before being transported back to England.
Although relatively serving it's purpose, the sedative did not mute the sudden familiar scream that sliced through the air.
