Away Team
Summary- The captain and Chakotay are plotting. There have been issues with the crew. Relationship issues, to be precise. So, when an incident in the mess hall becomes the last straw for Janeway and Chakotay, they take drastic action. They shove the quarrelling crewmen onto the Delta Flyer and send them on a routine away mission, hoping they'll sort out their differences and all return in one piece- have they forgotten that one of the away team is half-Klingon?
Relationships & Friendships- Torres/Paris relationship, Kim/Paris friendship, Torres/Kim friendship, Janeway/Chakotay? (It's a mystery!)
WARNINGS: Seven does NOT get a fair deal in this story. Partly because B'Elanna is my favourite character and so it was always going to be a bit biased to her side, and partly because I'm a bit of a bitch. But, y'know, Seven doesn't get completely picked on… well, not by me anyway!
I can't help it, I ship Janeway/Chakotay. It just SHOULD happen. But that is the only thing I have shipped, and ever will ship.
My Klingon isn't perfect. Except for 'petaQ' (which Torres uses pretty frequently for someone who 'hates everything Klingon) I googled the rest… DON'T shoot!
…..
"Ah, just another peaceful break in the mess hall." Harry sighed, sitting at a table across from Chakotay.
"Oh, I don't know, give it… five seconds?"
(Five seconds later…)
"ghuy'cha!" B'Elanna snarled, jumping up from the table she sat at with Tom. "You're always on that holodeck program!"
"See, told you," Chakotay murmured, before standing up. "Lieutenant Torres- keep your lovers' tiff to the privacy of your own quarters."
"I doubt that she'll be able to do that, commander," Seven interjected, "The entire population of deck nine section twelve will be hearing the whole argument- as they hear other… relations between Lieutenants Torres and Paris."
A nervous laughter rippled through the mess hall, and Chakotay's mouth fell open in shock. Harry pressed a hand to his mouth to stop a laugh escaping. B'Elanna looked furiously from Tom, to Harry, to Chakotay to Seven. Her eyes returned to Chakotay for a second,
"Close your mouth Chakotay, it's hardly attractive."
A supressed laugh escaped the crowd. But the Klingon wasn't angry at him. She whipped round to face Seven,
"And as for you, Borg, you have no business going around saying stuff like that,"
She moved towards Seven until her face was inches from the blonde, who was slightly taller than her.
"I am merely stating facts Lieutenant. Most crewmen know of your… bedroom habits. Maybe it's your Klingon nature…"
"I'LL GIVE YOU KLINGON NATURE!" B'Elanna spat, throwing Seven back against a wall, "You pathetic yIntagh! Shut the hell up before I rearrange your facial features…"
"That is ENOUGH lieutenant!" Chakotay ordered, grabbing B'Elanna's shoulder and spinning her round to face him.
B'Elanna tried to shake his hand off her shoulder,
"Get OFF me, Chakotay."
"Maybe you should cool off in the brig, hmm?"
"What, I take your pet Borg down a peg or two for making inappropriate comments about my love life and you throw me in the brig? Grow UP, Chakotay!"
Chakotay hit his comm badge,
"Chakotay to security, Lieutenant Torres could use a few minutes in the brig to… cool off. Now, Lieutenant, are you going to take yourself down there or do I have to drag you?"
"Good luck with that," B'Elanna smirked.
"Right then," Chakotay grabbed her arm, "Security, beam Lieutenant Torres and I to the brig."
The two disappeared.
…..
Tom leapt up and marched over to where 7 of 9 stood.
"You had no right to say that!"
"In your words, lieutenant, it's a 'free country'." Seven tilted her head to one side.
Tom grew angry,
"You did that on purpose! You embarrassed her, you provoked her! God, you can be a bitch at times."
Tom stormed out to try and talk to B'Elanna. Harry looked at 7.
"That was harsh, Seven."
He followed his best friend from the room, as the junior staff watched aghast. Seven felt uncomfortable, and found herself staring at the floor.
…..
"Again?"
Chakotay removed the ice pack from the cut on his forehead.
"Third time this week and it's only Thursday- She was arguing with Tom, so I told her to keep it for the privacy of their quarters and Seven…"
"Said that none of their relations are kept to their quarters. I know." The Captain smirked.
Chakotay grimaced, "Then I stopped B'Elanna killing 7, had security teleport me and B'Elanna to the brig, tried to get her into a cell, got hit in the face… same old, same old. Y'know, I'm getting sick of them always fighting."
"Who?" The captain asked.
"Who'd you think? Seven and B'Elanna, B'Elanna and Tom, Tom and Harry, B'Elanna and me- in fact, I've said B'Elanna 3 times, let's just accept that it's B'Elanna and the senior staff."
"What do you propose we do?"
"Lock us all up together and let us all sort out our differences." Chakotay smirked.
"Not a bad idea," the captain agreed, "But not on Voyager. Tomorrow, you take B'Elanna, Seven, Tom and Harry on an away mission. Bring them back in one piece and I'll replicate you dinner."
Chakotay smiled,
"You're joking, right?"
Janeway's face was deathly serious-
"No."
"Please, Kathryn- B'Elanna will kill me!"
"Take a phaser."
…..
"Hey, B, you're free!" Tom bounced into the brig, "Not only that, baby, but you're on the away mission to survey that M class planetoid- the one with the tropical beaches and beautiful rainforests? C'mon Lani, it'll be fun!"
B'Elanna smiled at him,
"Let me out of this god damn cell and I'll think about not killing you."
Tom let B'Elanna out, and she charged towards him, growling menacingly, and jumped on him, pinning him to the floor.
"Hey, hey, whoa! Jeesh, B, you were in there for what- an hour? Just cool it! But I'm sorry, baby, no more captain proton for a whole month, okay?"
B'Elanna let him go and helped him stand up.
"You're lucky Harry came down here to talk to me, he saved your sorry butt Tom."
"What'd he say?"
B'Elanna stepped closer to him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips,
"Just that you called 7 a bitch for me and lost a week's replicator rations as punishment. And that you kicked up such a stink about it that Seven is now sat in the cell behind us."
Seven glared at them.
"You're on the away team too, nosy, so I suggest you…" Tom saw B'Elanna's face, "… oh, shit."
"She's WHAT?!"
