The characters are not mine.

They walked hand in hand down the isolated beach, the wind was blowing forcing angry grey clouds towards the coast, not that the couple minded. It was a relief to get a moment to themselves away from their hectic high pressure jobs at Holby City hospitals emergency department.

Connie and Jacob had been seeing each other now for five months and this was their first get away together, it wasn't much, just two nights away in a sleepy seaside villages only bed and breakfast. The idea had been Connie's to spend some time to get to know each other away from the chaos, paperwork and politics of the E.D.

Jacob was delighted with the suggestion, to spend 48 hours in Connie Beauchamp's company was a dream come true. He could never of imagined being in this position when they met just over a year ago, their first meeting had been strained to say the least. Finding her confident, feisty and headstrong, Jacob had been determined to get passed the icy exterior she carried to keep the people around her at arms length. Her beauty wasn't just skin deep, the way she took care of her patients, fought for them and her staff had Jacob in awe. Connie had never been one to stand idly by when there was something she could do and that included putting the hospital board of directors in their place.

A lot of the hospital staff found her intimidating and cold, but not Jacob. To Jacob she was fascinating and someone he needed to get to know.

Connie had flippantly rejected all of his advances to start with but working side by side, day in day out you can't help but get to know someone. And that's what happened, they talked and shared friendly banter, slowly Jacob chipped away at the walls Connie had built around herself. As he got to see more of the real Connie he realized that the confidence she possessed as clinical lead wasn't something she had when it came to her personal life.

That's why Jacob was so pleased that it was Connie's idea to come here, she was letting him in, slowly but surely she was opening up letting Jacob see her vulnerable side. In private Connie was a completely different person, playful, quick witted and loving with a smile that could light up a room, something that the rest of the E.D staff had no chance of seeing.

Jacob pulled her closer as the wind picked up, looking at the sky they saw the clouds turn darker, a eerie Orange light shining through them.

"Come on sweet cheeks, let's head back, looks like one hell of a storm coming in!" Said Jacob. Connie nodded up at him as a gust of wind took her breath away.

Turning they started walking back the way they came. "Tell me... why I didn't book a fortnight in spain instead!" Connie shouted up over the howl of the wind.

"Because we only have two days off...hold that thought though...I like the way you think!" Said Jacob in a raised voice then lent down to place a gentle kiss on her lips but a flash of light and a loud cracking noise in the sky forced them apart. They looked round in time to see a large ball of lightening streaking towards them hitting a few hundred yards up the beach exploding in a ball of flames. As it hit the shockwaves knocked the couple to down leaving them dazed and confused. Helping each other up they took in the sight of the smoke that was billowing up into the already black sky, peering into the thick smog the outline of a large object became clearer.

"You okay?" Asked Jacob his voice full of concern.

"I'm fine...you?" Wondered Connie.

"Ye...I'm good." Nodded Jacob looking back over his shoulder towards the mysterious blaze.

Connie was pulling on Jacob's hand trying to back away but his curiosity had been spiked, the scene before them was like nothing either of them had ever seen before.

"What the hell!..." Muttered Jacob.

There was debris scattered on the pebbles, twisted sheets of mental and piles of burning rubble.

"Oh my god..." Whispered Connie trying to reach the phone out her coat pocket. "We need to call for help...what is it?" She asked as she to moved forward for a closer look.

"I don't know..." Jacob squinted looking over the wreckage trying to find something identifiable. "...whatever it was...nobody could have survived." Said Jacob sadly.

And that's when they heard it, a humming noise followed by a tingling sensation that running down their bodies from head to toe. They looked at each other as the world around them disappeared in a white light tinted with blue, the last thing Jacob saw was the pure panic in Connie's eyes before they disappeared.

So... this is the start of my casualty/voyager crossover. I just wanting to try something different. I'm not sure how it'll pan out, but I promise it's not going to get to farfetched... (apart from Connie and Jacob being on a starship that is! )

Hope you enjoy
