Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek. If I did, I would kidnap Khan while he is in his cryotube. That hotness is going to waste!

A/N: Glad that I got some favorites and follows. Hope to get some reviews this chapter. Pretty please with a cherry on top? Anyway, hope you enjoy the chapter!

Khan watched Niera's hips sway back and forth as she walked away from him. She was different than he had expected. From what Kieren had said of her 'baby' sister, he had expected a slow witted, lazy, petulant child. Not a girl who thought faster than his Deck Chief, and seemed to help all over the ship. He then realized she was the one everyone talked about. She was referred to as the Elf around the ship, due to the fact that she helped everyone like one of Santa's loyal elves. She was a very determined Augment, and other than her sister, he heard nothing but good things about her. Even her older brother, Dierve said that he would trust her with his life. His First Officers words were looking like jealousy more and more. As for Niera, she was actually rather pretty. Another thing he wasn't expecting. Not only based on her sisters words, but he never figured that a girl who would do all manner of work would be pretty. In any sense of the word. And from what her brother said, who is one of his pilots, said she was a excellent fighter. One of the best he had ever seen. She would prove to be very formidable woman as she got older. He smirked to himself, and turned to walk away toward his office.

There was a knock on Khan's office door. "Enter." The door opened to reveal Niera. Definitely not what he was expecting. He smiled none the less as she slowly walked into the room. "And to what do I owe the pleasure, Niera?" The girl smirked holding up a tablet.

"Just making a delivery for the Head Doc. He said you need to sign these to authorize some treatment or other. And that I had to stay till you did and then take back to him." She said, walking to the side of his desk holding the tablet out for him to take. He took the tablet and pretended to read the text while watching her mess with random objects around his office. She finally stopped at his bookshelf and looked at some of the titles. She gasped slightly, catching his attention. She held up one of his books and looked in his direction.

"You have Stephen King books?! Awesome!" She said, looking at the books and stroking their spines almost lovingly. Khan chuckled.

"Yes. I found that I liked a few of them, and decided to find them all. Have you read them?" He asked, turning his chair toward her. She smiled at him.

"Just The Stand. And it's one of my favorite books. Have you read them all yet, sir?" Khan shook his head slowly.

"Not all of them. I liked the few that I read, and decided to look for them all. You borrow one if you like." He said before turning back to the tablet on his desk. She beamed at him, but stayed silent and looked for one she wanted to read as he actually read the info on the tablet.

After a few minutes he signed it and held it out for her to take. She saluted him lazily, before walking toward the door.

"Have a nice day Captain." She called, exiting out the door, shutting it behind her before he could get a word in edgewise. Khan stared at the door blankly for a moment. Yes, Niera was definitely not what he had expected.
