DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN STAR TREK.
2. I'm Here
As a doctor, Bones knew that sometimes you knew that it was just not medically possible to fix that person. He also knew just because you were close to the person didn't stop them from dying. Being a doctor was tough at times, that being a CMO on a Starship, that frequently got attacked, you should be prepared for being bombarded with everything from scraps to the body bags flowing in.
Yet as he went around checking on his patients, he saw the still form of the Captain. He should be used to seeing Jim in his sickbay, laying in the bio-beds. Though the Doctor knew that this time Jim had been almost past the point of a medical miracle even. It had been too close. Bones was two seconds away from having to pronounce his best friend dead.
It had been two freakin' days and there wasn't any improvement, though there wasn't any signs that the Captain was going to crash once more. He was stable, with no signs of waking up. That was the most unnerving part, Bones thought, knowing he's alive, but yet he looks dead.
In the 20th century it had been common place to talk to a person in a coma, but it had been proven that it didn't really work. Bones sometimes didn't agree with some of the "research" they had done. He was off shift anyway so it couldn't hurt, right?
The doctor pulled over a chair and sat down next to the Captain's bed. Even though Jim insisted that he could be treated like the rest of the crew, normally he was kept in the main room, but since he was comatose it had been better for ship morale if he went into the room set aside for the captain. So McCoy was in private.
"Hey, kid. I don't really know what I should say…" The southern Doctor began.
He could've sworn he saw a flicker of movement underneath the kid's eyelids. "I don't even know if you can here me or what."
He paused trying to think of something else to say to the captain. "You're a dammed idiot for getting yourself into this mess."
The doctor PADD lit up letting him know that he had a patient. He stood up, his back popping as he did so. He looked at the young captain.
"Don't worry Jim. When you wake up, I'll be here."
The Doctor left the captain and headed to his next case. He knew that the captain would be back doing the same thing all over again once he was released from be sickbay. He often scolded the kid for his reckless behavior, but at least life was never dull.
There you are, I don't like how short they are but at least its helping me to get rid of my writers block.
