001. Beginnings
Every great team has a beginning, Jim thought as he studied Spock as the Vulcan strategized his next move. Some rougher than others.
Spock made his move. Knight to E4. "Checkmate," he said and Jim blinked repeatedly. Trying to figure out how it was that he'd lost. Again. "That's three of five games, Captain, which means that I have achieved victory."
Jim nodded, leaning back in his chair. "Can't believe I lost again," he muttered as Spock cleared the board. "I actually thought I had a chance this time."
Spock gave what Jim always interrupted to be a Vulcan's look of amusement. "You are still learning, Captain," he said and Jim snorted, more over the formal way Spock was speaking to him. "You're skill will improve. No one is an expert in the beginning."
Jim smiled. "You know," he said, looking Spock in the eye. "Everything has a beginning, no matter how poor."
Spock looked at Jim and the corners of his mouth twitched. Something Jim always took as a smile as Spock only did it when he was relaxed or happy. "Even us," the Vulcan said and Jim wasn't surprised that Spock knew what he had been thinking. His First Officer had an uncanny way of knowing that sort of thing. "As unstable as it was."
"I wouldn't trade it for the world, Spock."
Jim sent up a silent prayer to God for beginnings. Beginnings of any kind.
