Star Trek - Into Darkness
The Side Effect
'You leave him alone with some Klingon's and this is the result Spock.'
The tone hit the mark the half Vulcan replied:
'Two days ago it was logical peace was negotiated thanks to him.'
McCoy glared at the individual currently in charge of the Enterprise:
'Peace, negotiation and James T. Kirk is a lethal combination one that is currently costing him his life and this time I can't help you Spock.'
It was a half truth his superior filled in the gaps:
'McCoy you think his blood has been contaminated by something similar to what once saved him is that not so Doctor?'
I nod not looking the other way to the patient who is dying before my very eyes and the rightful captain of this ship. As I react to the words:
'Khan is back and if you want facts there was always going to be side effects to that serum I gave him it was only a question of when it just needed a catalyst.'
The words stop the look now one of complete understanding which takes me off guard:
'I should have killed him when I had the chance.'
His words taking me even more by surprise as I reply:
'Kirk would not be here now if you had and anyway our captain was mentally not in a good place before he went to meet those Klingon 's.
Plus he would have went just to prove us both wrong.'
