Summary: Set after Dr. Scott kills Sorenson. What if Rachel didn't inject herself with her experimental contagious cure before facing the captain? What if she changed it? What will the captain do when he finds out?

This is my first ever fic so please be patient!

I am also currently starting a new school year so will try and update as quick as possible but might be inundated with work.

I do not own the Last Ship and any of this characters, I only own characters I have created with my own imagination.

Leave a nice review!

She confessed and in return was given a guard to follow her around like a prisoner and was to be given over to civilian authorities when the ship docked, ceasing her valuable work in finding a contagious cure. Although what was playing on her mind was not that but what happened between her and the captain minutes ago, still fuming from his arrogance at defending the monster that killed 4 billion people.

A cough made her aware of someone else's presence, bringing up her walls and putting on her stone exterior she turned to find none other than the man who was the cause of the pit of fire roaring in her chest. "Dr. Scott, have you made any progress with Sorenson's lungs?"

Rachel couldn't stop the small chuckle that escaped her at his question.

"First you condemn me for killing the monster and now your asking me about my progress with what's left of him" her words were laced with venom as she complimented them with a look that no doubtably could kill.

She was met with an equally deadly gaze from her supposed co worker turned captor and then the parting words of "let me know when you have made any progress" as he made a swift exit leaving her reeling for him to face her rather than hiding behind his professional exterior.

"Any progress yet?" was the XO's first acknowledgement of his superior's presence as he relinquished his temporary command of the ship and its crew. "If she has made any she was adamant that I would be the last person to know" he relayed in a hush tone so the crew would not be able to hear what was exchanging between their leaders. "I knew she was a stubborn hard-ass woman but I didn't expect her doing something as brutal as murder" was his XO' reply as they looked down on the screen that showed the live feed from the lab and more importantly Rachel Scott. "Sir we have 2 days before we reach the area where the sub has reportedly docked" Lieutenant Granderson stated momentarily grabbing their full attention.

It felt like 2 seconds from their acknowledgement of the information to when their attention went back to the surveillance of the lab, in those 2 seconds Rachel was able to fill a syringe with her experimental version of a contagious cure and clean her shoulder with an alcoholic wipe, and in the next second injected herself in plane view of the camera and the captain and commander watching.

First chapter is up!
