Author's Note: Hey Guys! It's me again, I hope you like the story so far, and please don't be afraid to PM me or leave a review if you have any suggestions and comments. And as I sadly feared, I do not own Star Trek, all rights belong to the magnificent Gene Roddenberry. Here is chapter 2 as promised to be updated within a week and without further ado, here you go :)

Chapter 2:

This goddamn kid has probably spent more time at the station than in his own home. Police officer Chandly Miles sighs, he surveys the kid sitting in a desk chair in front of him. Chandly Miles has dreaded the day when he got stationed here by his commanding officer in the middle of nowhere, but it looks like things just took a turn for interesting.

He hasn't actually spoken to this kid before but he heard stories about him from the other officers. How he has several felonies already and he's not even a teenager yet. Breaking and Entering, stealing, and hacking secure files, he just asks himself what happened to the youth of today?

Although, on the kid's interrogation videos he says he only crossed a private fence to get away from his house and that he hacked files for something interesting to read, he still wonders, what goes on inside that head? Especially since he's skipped several grades and is already in his senior year of high school. He has the makings of a genius!

He called himself James Tiberius Kirk. Kirk, why does that sound familiar? Ah yes, the Kelvin Baby.

But that makes him think again, what is the son of a decorated war-hero and two highly respected Starfleet officials doing in the backwaters of Riverside, Iowa?

He tried asking what the hell was he even thinking by driving a car off a cliff, but he just shook his head. He was Blond, thin, and there's an area around his eye that's starting to bruise. Chandly Miles had asked the kid about that too but his lips were tight shut about that also.

Looking at the dejected, probably abused human being in front of him, he sighs again. I mean, why else would a rationally sane living organism drive a car off a rock quarry?

He commed the boy's legal guardians around a half an hour ago and he can positively say he has never been more disgusted with another person as much as this boy's stepfather, Frank Garson. It's a wonder that that man hasn't been beaten up and thrown into a ditch somewhere by someone who has been pissed off by him.

30 minutes ago:

"Hello? Sir? This is officer Chandly Miles of the Iowan State Police Force. Your stepson has just driven a 300-year-old car off a cliff and he is currently in police custody."

"Whaa? Oh yeah, keep the little brat. I don't want him."

"Excuse me, sir?" It took every ounce of will power in the young officer to keep his professional face on and to curse out this first rate asshole.

"Yeah, you heard me, keep 'im. If ya want try an' contact his mother, she's in space right now, USS Valiant." And with that prompt remark he promptly ended the conversation.

Frustration filled the mind of Officer Miles, he stole a furtive glance at the boy in front of him. What the hell has this boy gone through?

In the end Winona Kirk, the woman who gave birth to Jimmy Kirk was in no hurry to send her love (if there ever was any) either. James Tiberius Kirk was to be sent to live with Winona's sister and Brother-in-law, Jimmy's Aunt and Uncle on some far away farming colony planet.

As Jimmy boards the shuttle going to his new family, still reeling from the emotional mess that Sam has put him in, he thinks to himself, what waits for me after this shuttle ride? Will they reject me like Sam or Winona or will someone finally accept me? Only one way to find out.

"Good afternoon folks, this is your pilot speaking," a voice came over the shuttle speakers as Jimmy settles into his seat.

He was earning quite a few stares as well. Him probably being the only unaccompanied minor on board with a black eye and his raggedy clothes, he sure made quite a sight.

The shuttle announcements continued, "we are ready for take-off. This is shuttle 5940 heading towards Tarsus IV. We will be arriving at our destination at approximately 6 hours. Please have an enjoyable flight."

And just like that Jimmy Kirk was whisked away into a whole new world.
