MIRROR UNIVERSE – ENTERPRISE, CAPTAIN TUCKER HIS QUARTERS
Captain Tucker was reading a book on his bed when the doors opened. He didn't have to look up to know who had entered.
'You're late. Where have you been?' He said, flipping a page.
'Commander Reed held me up in the mess hall.' Whispered T'Pol and started to unbraid her hair. She lighted a candle and sat down in front of it.
'Let me guess, he tried to ask you about the last message from Admiral Yar. Son of a bitch.' Said Tucker. T'Pol nodded softly, closing her eyes, trying to meditate.
'Next time he asks about that, just tell him that if he has any questions he should ask me.' Said Tucker angrily. 'I'm getting tired of Reed going behind my back every time.'
'Maybe you should have chosen Lieutenant Sato as first officer.' Whispered T'Pol.
'Nah. I know she's working for Admiral Giks and I don't trust her. She stabs you in the back the first chance she gets.' Said Tucker and threw away his book.
'So does Commander Reed.' Said T'Pol.
'You know, you have a point there.' Said Tucker grinning. T'Pol wore her dark brown kimono, the one that Tucker loved seeing on her. It accentuated her curves and took away the attention of the scar on her face. He climbed of the bunk and sat down behind her, nuzzling her neck. 'So how was your day?'
T'Pol moaned softly. 'It was agreeable.'
'Really?'
'Yes. I see no point in lying to you.' Said T'Pol.
'Well.. it's good that you remember, or I'll break your neck. I will not be as generous with your punishment as the last time.' Whispered Tucker in her pointy ear and his fingers touched the scar. 'Now, come to bed.'
Afterwards Tucker was exhausted and fell asleep. T'Pol was lying in his arms and thought about her parents on Vulcan. She longed to see them again. Maybe Tucker would let her visit them the next time they would visit Vulcan. Or maybe not. A tear trickled down her cheek, now nobody was there to see her weakness. She turned around, facing the wall and tried to sleep.
Almost asleep she was suddenly awoken by the sound of Reed's voice through the comn. 'Reed to Tucker.'
T'Pol tapped the button. 'This is T'Pol. Captain Tucker is sleeping, what do you want?'
Reed chuckled through the comn, his laugh made T'Pol shiver like always. 'Say Tucker he has to get his lazy ass out of his bed and come to the bridge. We have found a shuttle and it's important.'
'I will give him the message.'
'Thanks, slave girl. Reed out.'
T'Pol cursed in Vulcan under her breath and shook Tucker awake. 'Charles, you have to get to the bridge.' Said T'Pol.
Tucker groaned. 'What is it now?'
'Reed said they had found a shuttle.' Said T'Pol while she grabbed his uniform out of his closet and helped him dress.
'Well it better be an very good shuttle or I'll kill him.' Groaned Tucker and grabbed her. 'I'll go to the bridge, you stay here, 'kay?'
T'Pol nodded. Tucker kissed her and then hurried out his quarters. T'Pol was left alone, naked. She decided to use her time to meditate. She looked at the flame of the candle, trying to concentrate.
The first thing Trip noticed was a person lying on top of him. He had a nasty headache, and his leg was hurting.
'Son of a bitch.' Cursed Trip. It was dark in the shuttle and the last thing that Trip remembered was the attack of the Klingons and escaping through the wormhole. After that he couldn't remember anything. He tried to find out who was lying on top of him in the dark so he touched the arm of the person.
T'Pol.
Trip shook her softly and she groaned.
'T'Pol, are you okay?'
'I think so.'
T'Pol rolled of him and tried to get up.
'Where are we?'
Trip helped her up. She fell to the floor immediately. 'You're leg is broken.' Said Trip. Suddenly he heard the sound of the hatch trying to be opened.
'Who is that, what the hell?' Thought Trip aloud and scooped T'Pol in his arms, her face was twisted in pain. 'Maybe we're on Enterprise. Phlox will fix your leg in five seconds.' Trip tried to reassure her. The hatch opened and Trip stared at the familiar face of Lieutenant Reed.
'Ah, Reed, help me get her to sickbay.' Said Trip. Then Trip noticed that Reed had a mustache. And that behind him stood a man.
A man who looked exactly like the man Trip saw when he looked in the mirror.
'What?' Exclaimed Reed and turned around to Tucker. Tucker walked to the shuttlepod and looked at Trip.
'What?'
Trip stepped out the shuttlepod, still carrying a T'Pol who looked like she had just seen ghosts.
Well maybe she had.
Tucker looked at Trip. 'Well, Reed, this is a very interesting shuttle.'
The doors of the shuttle bay opened and T'Pol came in. No, not T'Pol. A woman who looked like T'Pol but only with long hair wearing a beautiful kimono. She was barefoot.
'Charles.'
Tucker turned around. 'What the hell are you doing here. Hadn't I told you to stay?' He grabbed T'Pol and shook her.
'I wanted to ask you something.' Whispered T'Pol, looking at her feet.
Trip barely recognized the other T'Pol. She had a scar over her face and she looked very helpless. Not like the strong T'Pol he knew and worked with everyday. The T'Pol with the long hair looked up and stared at Trip.
Trip stared back. And then the T'Pol with long hair saw the T'Pol in his arms and she hurried to him and touched T'Pol's cheek.
'Who are you?´ Asked the T´Pol with long hair and stared at the woman. She looked exactly like her but also completely not. Tears threatened to overtake her because when she had looked at the woman in that man´s arms she had immediately recognized her mother. Her heart ached now she knew that wasn't the case. Tucker grabbed her.
´Get back to my quarters, now.´
´Who is she?´ Asked T´Pol. ´Who are you?´ She asked Trip.
Tucker dragged her out the shuttle bay.
Reed with the moustache laughed. ´Let´s bring you to sickbay. Maybe Captain Tucker will join us later. Seems he is busy dealing with more important business right now. I told him when Admiral Yar gave him T´Pol he would be better off by just you know, breaking her neck but he kept her. Now he has problems. It´s his own fault.´ Said Reed.
Trip looked at Reed in horror.
Everything was the same here and at the same time it wasn´t. And Trip was disgusted from what he had just heard and seen.
