A Pair Unlike Any Other
Summary:
James Tiberius Kirk. Kyra Amethyst McCloud. Two determined souls hell bent on finding a place to belong. Two souls, lost many years ago, find comfort within each other, their shared memories binding their destinies together. Nothing can tear these two fiercely passionate friends apart.
Not even the Federation, or Starfleet.
It started like every other night, the two friends winding down after a long day, a few drinks well into their system. Kyra placing her money on a gamble of billiards. Jim, trying to chat up whichever suitable looking woman fell under his inebriated radar. Yet another drunken bar fight and Jim finds himself making a decision that will change his life forever.
Kyra, of course, is just along for the ride.
At least that's what the two make people believe.
Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek, or any characters you may recognize.
Author's Note: This story follows Abram's Universe, the 2009 movie. I thought it was absolutely fantastic. This story takes you not only through bar scene, but also gives insight to the Academy years. Soon follows the Narada incident and maybe, if I have the creative powers, I will continue after the movie ends.
Just to forewarn you, this story may seem slightly confusing. The POV will shift between both of the main characters, Jim and Kyra, and how their friendship slowly evolves into a romance.
Do be sure to send a review, let me know what you think, what you like, and even things you think I should change. I do take constructive criticism seriously and I do not have any problem telling someone where to shove their flames. Of course, Kyra is my Original Character and I promise, she is not a Mary Sue. She has her strengths and her weaknesses. Again, I do take input and I enjoy hearing what people want to see within the story.
Kyra= her POV, 'Thoughts', "Speech"
Jim= his POV, 'Thoughts', "speech"
Enjoy!
Prelude- No One Like Us
I'm calm, collected and fiercely loyal.
I'm known for being arrogant, head-strong and fiercely protective.
My whole life, I've known little about who I am, always searching for an answer to who and what I am.
My whole life, I've been told who I am, trying so hard to escape the shadow cast over me by my father.
Misunderstood by the vast majority of humans, who fear my strange eye color and my ability to dominate a fight with ease.
Never have I known the affection from a mother, physical abuse from the only man in my life and soon I gave up trying to please anyone.
Landing myself in a camp for delinquents on a planet far from the Milky Way, I never dreamed I would ever find someone just as lost as me.
I figured being sent to some reform camp would be a total drag, but it soon became the worst summer of my life, even with the warm memories within it.
He's my home, my only sense of reality. He gives me a reason to live, a reason to fight.
She's my rock, keeping my feet firmly planted to the ground. She gives me a reason to push forward, a reason to continue trying to escape my father's shadow.
I wouldn't kill for him, I'd conduct complete genocide.
I wouldn't die for her, I'd place myself in the deepest circle of Hell.
Because there's no one else like him.
Because there will never be another person like her.
