The Terrible Times We Wound Up in Sickbay
Chapter 1:
"James Tiberius Kirk, this is all your fault!" Nyota Uhura screeched as she flung whatever she could get her hands on, at the cowering captain.
"What?" He demanded pulling crossing his arms in front of his face to block an oncoming boot .
"I would not be stuck in sick bay, had you not gone off and hit on the pretty alien assassin in an Andorian pirate outpost!" She hissed.
Kirk and Uhura were confined to biobeds in sickbay. And because Uhura was in such a fury, they were in beds on I opposite sides of sickbay.
"I didn't! I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time!" Kirk protested loudly. Leonard Mccoy, (also known by a select few as Bones), stood by with an amused smirk on his face.
Bones had taken any sharp or dangerous objects away from Uhura's vicinity, and was now allowing her to take her vengeance and give Kirk what he truly deserved. They had been on an undercover mission in an Andorian outpost, trying to root out a spy, who had been selling Starfleet secrets, when they had been discovered because of Kirk's supposed flirting. There had been a massive, and somewhat old fashioned fight involving the entire station. Kirk had wound up with a nasty concussion and four cracked ribs; while Uhura had broken her arm performing a pretty spectacular right hook (Which the enemy dodged, making her hit the steel wall). The fact that both Kirk and Uhura were on enough pain meds to make a Klingon sing rock music, wasn't particularly helpful in allowing Uhura to remain somewhat in control of her emotions.
"Yeah right! You can't resist seeing a pretty woman and hitting on her." Uhura snapped.
"Look, Nyota." Kirk said exasperated. "I wouldn't compromise this mission, much less put you in danger. This was too important to mess up. You have to believe me..." He added quickly.
She studied his face. Knowing him long enough, meant that she could read him like an open book, and she could tell he wasn't lying.
The cup she was about to propel at him, went back to the table it had been resting on previously.
"I believe you. But you're still in trouble. Trust me on that one." She stated with a huff, before closing her eyes and leaning back on her bed.
"Yeah… I'm getting the picture." Kirk mumbled.
"Alright you knuckle-heads." Bones broke in, "Get some rest…" Bones noticed a twinkle in Jim's eye before hastily adding, " and I will sedate you, Jim." The doctor masterfully spun a hypo in hands.
Kirk carefully eyed the hypo and calculated the risks, before deciding to abort his escape attempt.
A little rest couldn't hurt… right?
Hi , Guys, thanks for reading. I'm going to add more sickbay stories in the future, but I wanted to see the reception this one got. I most certainly welcome reviews, constructive criticism, and suggestions on how to make my writing better.
(Preview- In the next chapter Bones meets obnoxious music, and it doesn't end well!).
