Star Trek into Obscurity
Chapter One
Authors Note: Hello everyone! I'm new to the Trekkie fan fiction community, but I am a long time Trekkie. Upon watching Star Trek into Darkness, I felt a new kind of love for it all over again in a new way. I actually anticipated the wait for this movie since I first heard about, and even after I saw it, love can't describe the way I feel for this sequel. But hopefully my writing will.
John Harrison/ Kahn x Original Character (I believe it will make things too complicated for him to be paired with anyone else from the series). A slight AU with a different ending to STID
Kirk, Spock, Uhura, McCoy/Bones, and Other Original Characters will be as followed, along with the all-so important bridge crew Sulu, Science Officer 0718 aka GATT, Lieutenant Madeline, Officer Darwin, Officer Jodi, and Cupcake.
Thanks for checking out the story and please enjoy. :3

Aboard the Enterprise:
"I will never know the feeling of my hands ringing the life out of your beloved Captains neck right now . . .
"You sick bastard, the hell you won't!" Bones aggressively pulled up his black sleeve to his elbow and pulled out a potable blood extractor. He found a vein, the same vein he took the previous blood sample, and plunged the needle into the flexing blue branch.
His brown eyes piercingly stared into Khan's. Stern, keen bluish aqua green pair of orbs beamed back at his, wild and monstrous against his pale chalk white completion. Yet he was so well poised, and calm, just by looking at the man it was hard to believe that he was the terrorist that killed all of those people- who killed Admiral Pike, crushed Admiral Marcus, and so many others.
Bones looked away and clenched his jaw. It seemed like forever since has been here and he needed to get this damn vile back to Kirk before it's too late. Why won' it hurry up?!
The doctor was so horribly impatient by this thing they call a man, he began thumping his foot. He hated to wait, especially in front of that monster. Meanwhile as the vile of blood began to slowly fill, Bones shook his head in disapproval of what he was about to say. "Why did you do it Khan? Despite your vengeance against the Federation and Starfleet, you have managed to kill thousands of lives. Innocent men women and children who had nothing to do with your past, all dead, and all you can do is sit there."
"Doctor McCoy," His voice rigged with a eerie melancholy that dreaded the doctor, "-my simplistic explanation as to why will only upset you further, besides that, don't you have a friend to save using my blood?"
The vile was finally full, and Bones took the pleasure of digging it further into his arm, twisting the needle in freakish ways, slicing the flesh beneath Kahn's skin and violently snatching the needle out. A small rush of blood squirted into the air, hitting the table and staining his pale arm.
Khan laughed coldly, "Oh Doctor, that wasn't very nice."
Bones nearly bit his tongue. He didn't have time for this and needed to save his best friend's life. The doctor rushed to the clear exiting door where four security guards heavily guarded it. One of the guards quickly scanned him and the vile before giving him the right to leave the cell. On his way out he saw a female medic officer dressed in a Starfleet issued blue dress uniform. She was cladded with splats of blood cuts and bluish black brushes upon her cheeks arms and legs. Bones noticed that the once clean and punctual uniform was now soaked with blood and other ungodly fluids all the way through her dress as she walked with a horribly broken limp.
She was not only one of the survivors of the USS Enterprise, but one of McCoy's sector officers in the medical ward.
He stood in astonishment.
"Nurse Campbell? Jesus- Tanya! What the hell are you doing here? You got to go see a doctor, sweetheart. You're way too banged up to be walking out here."
The honeyed brown skinned woman smiled, even when it hurt her, "Don't worry about me; Kirk needs you, go do what you need to do and treat him. I've have something I need to do here."
McCoy shook his head, "Arguing with you won't change your mind and I'm running out of time. Promise me you will see one after you are done here with that ever the hell you have concerned with that creep?"
"You know I will Bones." She replies.
McCoy gave her a reassuringly tender thumb rub on the cheek before dashing out the maximum prison ward.
After Tanya watched him leave, she slowly turned her gaze to the only inhabited cell clock out of four in the area. The guards watched her intently, eyeing her every move, but she wasn't there to take them out, or help escape the prisoner. She had one last will of testament on her mind. And she was bound to get it from that black cladded terrorist behind the industrial plexipolymer glass, caged like an enraged poisonous snake.
She made eye contact with him from across the room.
One of the guards stopped her. "What purpose do you have here ma'am?"
The doctor spoke fluently, "I have security clearance from First Commanding Officer Spock, under the federation law of detainment and interrogation of a prisoner."
he denied her, "Sorry ma'am we can't let-"
Campbell snapped, "Don't let my looks fool you. I haven't seen a doctor yet because this is more important than my health right now, officer. Commander Spock has prompted me to do a partial interrogation. Unless you wish to call him to make sure, which I advise he is not in the best of moods right now considering our Captain is nearly close to death, I wouldn't consider doing so. Vulcans have very passionate emotions well hidden beneath their skin, and irritating him buy not following orders won't be so pretty for either of you."
They started at her for a brief second before one of the guards spoke up. "Let her in," he answered.
The nurse walked up into the clearance bay to be scanned for ant weapons or hazards. "- Commencing bio scan." Another officer shouts. A lime-green laser beamed down and scanned her whole body, within seconds it was over and a charming alarm sounded off as a positive.
"You're clear. Take all the time you need, but I would recommend it being quick ma'am." He looked at her with reassuring eyes, "That son of a bitch is twisted."
"Thank you officer, I'll keep that in mind." she agrees.
The officer tapped on the control panel, turning the middle of the plexipolymer glass wall into and entryway. The nurse made an effort to quicken her limp on the way through. Once she was in, the plasma like glass quickly molted its way into a single wall of glass again. Trapping her with the monster inside.
There he was. John Harrison, sitting there at a white table with his arms cuffed in steel and magnetically bolted to the top of the industrial furniture. His chest, torso, and legs in the same manner. Cuffed with strengthened metals magnetically glued to each unmoving surface. He wasn't going anywhere any time soon.
The only thing moving was his eyes. They stared her down and penetrated anyone who dares to look him straight. Tanya felt violated, as if her presence was condemned by him. Ironically his presence was condemned by everyone he terrorized.
There was a white chair at the opposite end of the table, Tanya was about to sit in, but didn't. Instead she inched her was closer to him without looking away from his venomous aqua gaze. When she was close enough she sat on top of the table to the right of him.
"Your eyes haven't changed a bit. There still the same ocean blue I remembered."
He looked away. His facial features schooled and steady, almost unreadable.
"Look at me."
He ignored her.
"LOOK at ME!"
His eyes slowly meet hers, and his demeanor has ultimately changed. His gaze has softened into a sentimental stare; his muscular face was soft ghost white, beautifully innocent, but full of shame.
"Look at me Khan." Her voice was shaken with anger, "Look at my face, my body. Look at me. When I escaped the U.S.S. Vengeance, I went straight back onto the Enterprise. I saw people I worked with, friends, practically family being sucked out into space, and I almost went with them. I'm covered with the blood of my crew mates, even some of it is my own. I've been hit and battered from falling debris. I fell so many times from the ship about to crash land in orbit, and yet you can't even look me in my eyes."
He still ignored her. Tanya felt the disapproval come in his expression like a smack in the face. Now she was furious, "You did this to me! You tried to KILL me! I was good as dead; I should have been because of you. The people I love are gone. My friends are gone. My home is gone. But yet, you and I are still here."
Ignoring the pin her back and legs, she hooped off the table with a gracious leap and grabbed the root of his black hair with her honeyed hand, her nails, tearing, gripping and pulling is head towards her direction as she bitterly whispers in his face, "-and I want to know WHY?! Why did you do this?! Why did you kill my only family? My crew!"
Her last work flung into his heart, so did his head when she let go and shoved it violently against the headrest of the chair. To Khan, it didn't hurt, but what hurt him was seeing her in pain.
His lips thinned as he warmly cooed to her, "My light," he kept a cool composure, "I searched everywhere for you only to realize that you went back to the ship. I thought I lost you. There are no formal apologies in modern literature that can make up the pain I feel for you. My intentions we're not to harm you. I took this out on myself."
Her face twisted in disgust, "Yourself-? You are a fucking sick son of a bitch! Fuck your intention! You have changed. You were never like this."
Khan's jaw clenched. "I was always like this, love. I'm so sorry you were too late and have begun to notice, but I can't undo what has been done."
The nurse's expression twisted again, this time in confusion, "You can always make right of what you did wrong, haven't I told you this? Tell me why! Why did you do it! Why do you hate us!?" By us, she didn't just mean the world of the humans, she meant their world. Their relationship.
"We have already planned to do so, my love." His face grinned of reassurance, "Marcus . . . all of them-"
With wide eye, Tanya shook her head, "We've planned to take out Marcus and his agenda. Not kill him, start a war, and defiantly not kill other people who weren't involved."
Khan smiled; a cunningly sinful smile, "Well God save the Nurse. Your captain has managed to kill my family, all 72 of them on taking me down! They were INVOLVED, Tanya."
She protested, "After you managed to kill most of us on the Enterprise-"
Khan swiftly cut her off, "-because your beloved Kirk betrayed our trust. NO ONE shall ever betray ME!" He screamed at her with all of his might, with all of the vicious hated boiling up in his soul. Her words had enraged him.
SLAP! The nurse swiftly back handed the man in the face. For some reason it had hurt more than he has intended.
"YOU BETRAYED ME!" The nurse screamed back at him. Her eyes were stinging with tears she tried all of her might to hold back, to be strong, but she couldn't. Khan watched at the tears fell from both bruised cheeks. His heart broke for her, "Tanya, please. Don't -"
She cut him off and turned her gaze away from him. "You were once a solider. A solider for peace, made to protect us all from evil. Now you are a terrorist, the very same evil you swore to protect us from. You betrayed us all. And now you will suffer, hopefully more that my people did."
Khan wanted to hug her so meaningfully right now but couldn't. He felt a bit horrified for not protecting her. He softly cleared his throat to keep from tearing up himself, "Then I want nothing more than that. I have tarnished the only person I have ever cared about in this world; I have caused her to suffer by my hands. What torture is more painful than this?"
"The torture of you being wrong." She returned back to him and sat back in the same spot she was before, "Kirk and Spock are no murders, and for that, they will be forever stronger than you will ever be, John," She switched back to his creation name. He didn't deserve to be called by his birth name, she felt. "Your people are still alive."
"No." His voice challenged. His eyes flinched to her dark brown ones, his eye widened in a mixture of horror and hope, "NO. You are lying to me."
Tanya bobbed her head, "It is the truth. We took them out of the torpedoes before we deployed them at the Vengeance. They are alive and safe. It's too unfortunate that you will never see them again."
He nodded, almost agreeing with her statement, "If they are truly alive, then my mission is complete. This is, by all means, that when they are relived from cryogenics and are rehabilitated in a region, a kingdom at which we can call OUR OWN. And Tanya, you my dear will always be by my side. Even if you are not, at this very moment."
She wanted to slap the piss out of him. Again and again ten times over through his thick augmented skull, "You still don't get it do you? Everything we went through together and you still don't GET IT."
Khan snapped, "I gave you my heart Tanya!" His face stared at her in softer manner, "What more can I do at this point in time? Do you have any Idea how if feel right now, seeing you hurt like this? I'd rather suffer the wrath of conviction by torture tenfold than to see my light angered and hurt."
She didn't want to look at him anymore. This wasn't the same man she used to know. Maybe Khan was right about her. She didn't see the signs of the real him early enough to make a stand, and for that she felt weak. She loathed the feeling when other people, people's lives, counted on her to be strong for them.
Campbell lifted herself off of the table and made her way to the glass barricade, turning her back on him, "You should have thought about that before you took revenge against the Federation and Starfleet. And when you did that, you took revenge out against me too."
Somehow, she felt the feministic superiority waffle over her. The commanding officer began to straighten her posture and clear her mind of any emotions regarding this very thing that calls himself a 'man'. She sighs, snapping her posture towards his way once more.
"Look Mr. Harrison," The nurse's voice cleared, "I'm here to tell you that under Federation law, you will be detained in maximum security in Birchwood Bay in San Francisco. You will be interrogated again before your trial and conviction. There is a high possibility that you be sentenced to life by torture to death, death, or God know what else they might come up with for your punishment. In the meantime, I have no information to disclose to you except for one thing; you were my first and my all Khan. You have hurt me like no other . . . . . . . . . . . . . and Hell . . . has no fury like a woman scorned."
I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and let me know what you all think. Should I continue of not? XD If so let me know!
