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.'
