Not that Easy
Summary: Skye Grey works under the elite and super secret part in the Starfleet Intelligence known as Section 31. She dedicates herself to her job, however after Skye finds herself assigned to the USS Enterprise after young James Kirk acts too foolhardy for the federation to tolerate.
Chapter 1:
The mission had finally ended and Skye was shipped back to Earth for a well deserved leave. She had left the soon to be Vulcan colony after spending six months researching its life forms and ensuring it would be safe for colonization. Serving under an older Vulcan who looked oddly like Captain Spock had opened her eyes. She never understood how they worked until serving under Spock Senior. Vulcans she realized that they use their logic like humans use their emotions. That was something she still was working out much to her frustration.
As the shuttle landed at the dock in what was once Golden Gate Park, Skye gathered her things and immediately reported to Admiral Pike. He wasnt her normal C.O (Commanding Officer) but as she was leaving Space Command she was told to report to him while on Earth, as she might be temporarily reassigned away from her normal investigations. Skye didnt mind though, she knew Admiral Pike from her childhood. His wife lived next door and would babysit Skye, when Admiral Pike was on leave he would entertain her for hours with his stories of his adventures out in space. It had seemed only natural to Skye that she would join the Federation when she was old enough much to her parents disapproval.
As she reached his office she discovered that Admiral Pike was regretfully not alone. He was speaking with Captain Kirk. Every female it seemed in the galaxy had heard of his play boy antics, and Skye had made sure she knew his face. She knew this was his hunting ground, and wanted to know who she needed to avoid ahead of time. Skye of course always did her homework. Smiling to spite her bad luck she knocked on the door frame.
Admiral Pike I was told to report to you once I landed. She said standing at attention. The Admiral turned to face her and smiled gently at her.
At ease Captain Grey, I take it your flight went well? he asked, making small talk. Indeed, it was far shorter than I expected. She replied. Kirk decided to turn and look at her for the first time.
You spent so much time on assignments that took you so far away you must have forgotten how close home was. You know if you came back more often it would be easier trip to remember. Pike said.
Dont push me into something you know wont end well Sir. She replied.
You know Eunice would love to catch up with you, its been a long time.
While that true I will see what I can do to improve that while Im on leave. Skye replied.
I will believe that so long as you at lease promise to give her a call.
I think I can promise that. She replied
Good, it would make her year. Now do you know how to find where youre staying?
I could help you with that. Names Kirk, James Kirk, Captain of the USS Enterprise. Kirk said, finally introducing himself while winking one eye at her.
Im sure CaptainKirk that you would be willing to do much more than that. She retorted. She looked at Pike to see a small smirk appear on his face at her rejection.
Now you two should try to get along, the captains quarters are located in the same area if you did not know Captain Grey, so you two will be seeing a fair amount of one another until Captain Kirks leave finishes in two days. Admiral Pike said to cut tension. I have nothing by way of assignments for you as of now Captain Grey, you may go unpack since we both know you came straight here.
Actually Admiral I have been given permission to stay off base. Skye said.
Indeed? Where would you be staying. Pike asked.
I will be at the old house. I plan on refurbishing it for resale while Im here. She replied.
I see, well perhaps Commander Spock or Captain Kirk would be willing be help with the heavy lifting before their leave is over.
Indeed I would have no problem helping. Kirk interjected.
Im sure you wouldnt, however Im not sure I want you knowing where I live.
I dont think youd regret telling me. He replied with a lazy grin spreading on his face.
Admiral if you no longer need me I would like to get home before it grows too dark.
Of course, have a safe drive, and you are more than welcome to join Eunice and I for dinner tomorrow night.
Thank you, if it isnt tomorrow would be wonderful. Skye smiled before she turned and left trying to remember her way to where the parking structure was that she had parked her motorcycle in. She went to the lockers to change out of her uniform and into street clothes. She then walked aimlessly for several minutes until she found someone she knew well enough to ask for directions.
Commander Spock! she said, hoping he would hear, he was several feet away speaking with a young woman a few years older than she.
Captain Grey, It has been a long time since we last saw one another. How are you faring? he asked after politely turning his attention to her.
I am fine, lost however. I dont know where the structure is where vehicles are parked, unfortunately it has been far to long since I was last here.
It has been longer since that since we have seen one another. Spock replied.
That is true. I apologize for that. If you arent doing anything tonight perhaps we can catch up.
I have no plans, if you desire we can discuss dinner as I guide you to your motorcycle.
That sounds good to me. Skye replied. I see things seem to be the same with yourself and Uhura or have circumstances improved?
You have not changed, getting straight to the point. You do not like to beat around the bush as I recall. We are fine, thank you for your inquiry, how have you been?
Well, working. She replied.
Thats correct, you do tend to work a great deal. Here is the lot you would have most likely parked in. I would suggest 8pm for dinner on base if you desire.
That would work for me, would you like to do drinks after, Uhura would be more than welcome to join.
I will let you know after I discuss this wit her. I would have no problem continuing however. Have a safe drive.
Skye smiled and turned to her bike. Hello beautiful, Im so sorry I left you alone for so long. She said lifting the cover protecting her bike. You look just as beautiful as the day I left though. I bet youre just aching for a long ride. She said running her hand along the bars.
Id love to hear how you talk to the men you spend the night with. You must drive them wild. A familiar voice said.
I have no doubt that you would just love that Captain Kirk. She said slowly turning to face him. To hear every last word I utter during those stolen moments. She continued leaning close enough for her breath to gently caress his face. Backing up she turned to face her bike and sat on it. I do hope you enjoy tonights conquest Captain. She smiled.
You are more then welcome to be that girl tonight. I promise I wont bite, that is unless you ask me to. Captain Kirk answered after a moments pause.
That will be something I must turn down. I have other plans. Enjoy your night Captain. Skye said before starting the engine and driving off.
