This Star Trek Fanfic takes place not long after Voyager returns to Earth, and after Marshmallow sees Anna and Kristoff over the cliffside.

Chapter 2

"If you are a queen, why would you be in a deserted castle on top of a snow capped mountain?"

"Who said this castle is deserted?"

"If you are referring to the snow creature outside, I would hardly call it company. However, I know for a fact that no one else is inside this castle."

"Hmm, well, I may be alone, but you aren't safe here," Elsa said, lowering her head. "It would be best if you left."

"Are you afraid of the castle falling?"

"No," Elsa said, turning away to leave through the doors, "I might accidentally hurt you." Elsa was almost to the doors when she heard a click, followed by a musical hum. When she turned around, the parka wearing woman held a small gray box that seemed to be pointed towards her. "What is that?"

"A scanning device," Seven said, as she approached the queen, lowering the tricorder and raising again so she could read it. "You are emitting a unique form of radiation. It seems to be," Seven paused as she continued to tap different buttons, "unknown to me."

"You mean you can see what is causing my power through that, thing?"

"Yes."

"Can you stop it?"

"Not with the instruments I have here, if I were back on Voyager I might be able to..."

"Geez you mortals get nowhere fast. I bring you back through time to have a little fun, and here you are analyzing everything."

The two women looked around, and found a tall, thin man with black hair and an expensive looking three-piece suit striding towards them. "I brought you here for a little fun, not to try and diagnose my power."

"But aren't, you are," Elsa stammered, stepping back from the approaching individual.

"If you know whom I am mortal, than I suggest you act accordingly," the figure said, addressing Elsa. Elsa, shocked, quickly bowed in front of the figure, he then turned to face Seven. "Are you not afraid of a god?"

Seven closed her tricorder, "I have met your kind before, and you are not a god. You are a Q."

"So I see you have met some of my brethren before, but you are wrong about me being a god. Do you wish to behold my awesome power?"

Seven almost smiled, "You might be very powerful, but even you have limits to what you can achieve."

The figure raised his arms, the light seeming to darken, then his voice boomed as if it were thunder itself, "Then witness my power, mortal."

With a blinding flash, he was gone. Seven knew he had changed her clothes, as she could feel the corset binding her ribs and stomach tighter than she was used to, but it wasn't until she went to raise her tricorder again that she noticed what else was changed.

Her tricorder was gone, and so was her hand implants. She quickly brought her hand up to check her left eye, which had been replaced first by Borg, then later on by the doctor, to find it was normal. She paused briefly, feeling her body work, trying to detect if any of her implants remained. She couldn't feel anything different. She was fully human.

"Oh."

That one word was all Seven could muster. She was human. Something she never thought again she would be. The thought alone scared her. She looked at the queen, who was staring at her, her eyes filled with both wonder and horror.

"He, he changed you?

"Yes, I am," Seven paused, "normal again. Before being changed by the Borg." Seven looked around for a mirror. Once in a holodeck fantasy, she had lost her implants and had been able to return to being fully human, but that was only a fantasy. She couldn't experience the full range of human emotion due to her implants. Now they were gone? "I, I need to sit."

Elsa gave a wave of her hand that Seven was about to take as a dismissal when a chair formed right beside her. Seven sat in it, and realized she was either close to, or having a panic attack.

"What did he do to you?"

Seven paused at the question, if only to find the words to tell the young woman the truth. "He, made me fully human again."

"What was different?"

"When I was younger, I was captured by a group called the Borg. They changed me, altered me to be like them. Q, the being who was here, he took away those changes."

"Like the metal that was on your eye?"

"Yes, it is difficult to describe, but I had metal devices throughout my body."

The queen was about to respond when a roar was heard outside. Seven went to the door to check on it and was shocked to see a group of soldiers attacking the snow creature at the foot of the bridge.

"Do you know those soldiers?" Seven asked, not sure without her weapons if she could defend herself.

"They're palace guards, my guards. Excuse me a second," Elsa said, as she pulled open the door and stepped outside. Seven followed her, and watched the young queen gather herself.

"Stop! What are you doing?" Elsa commanded in a loud voice from the top of the staircase.

Everyone at the foot of the bridge stopped fighting, including Marshmallow. A young man, dressed differently than the rest, approached the foot of the bridge, but didn't try to come up. He bowed, the raised himself and spoke.

"Your majesty, we have come in search of Princess Anna. She left the palace on horse, but the horse returned without her."

"My sister arrived here earlier today, but has left with her guide some time ago. I presume she returned to Arendelle."

The young man seemed to think, then bowed again to the queen. "Can you end the winter, your majesty?"

"No, Prince Hans. I've never learned how to unmake my ice," Elsa said, head bowing, "I had hoped that the distance I put behind me would save Arendelle from this curse."

"Your majesty, if I may?" Seven asked.

"Who are you?" Hans asked, looking Seven over.

"This is Annika Hansdatter. She is experienced in things of this sort."

Seven raised an eyebrow at the change of her name, then reasoned that datter had to do with her sex, so ignored it.

"I might be able to help her majesty control her power better, but I would need to be able to see the results of her power before I could comment further."

"Then we shall leave immediately, your majesty. There is only so much time we have before the supplies in the kingdom run out. We are handing out blankets and keeping the people fed as best we could, but I'm afraid if we don't end the winter soon, everyone may freeze or starve to death."

Elsa looked shocked at the prince's words, but finally nodded her head. "I shall return to help my subjects then, or we shall all die together."

Seven looked at the queen, "I was under the impression that the cold didn't affect you?"

"It doesn't, but I still need to eat," Elsa commented, walking slowly down the stairs while the guards gathered their horses. "I haven't eaten a proper meal almost three days. When I fled my coronation, I didn't take any supplies. I was so worried that my power would hurt someone that I ran straight across the fjord, freezing a path across as I ran. And now? My power has hurt somebody, everybody, and I'm the only one that might be able to stop it, and allow summer to return."

Seven paused, allowing herself to think as the queen calmly walked down the steps to the men below. She was suddenly struck with an idea. This seemed to be a fairy tale, one like her mom had read to her as a child. She struggled to remember how the tales ended, only remembering the part where they lived happily ever after. Seven knew there was more to the tale, but couldn't remember what it was.

"Tick tock," Said a voice. Seven turned to see the Q standing beside her, looking at his timepiece. "I give you until midday tomorrow to see this ended in the queen's favor."

"Or what shall happen?" Seven asked, wondering if the Q might elaborate farther.

"That's when something so bad happens that the Ice Age this pitiful planet suffered not long ago will seem like a tropical vacation," Q warned, then in a flash of light, was gone again.

Seven pondered his words, then looked at the queen. She knew that the Q never lied, or never seemed to lie anyway, and decided that if the queen were presently empowered or embittered, might be able to freeze a good portion of the local geography, which might cause a cascade effect over the weather. But to affect the whole of Earth? Seven doubted the one-point-six meter woman had that much power, but maybe if her power was tied to the Q, she could do it.

'The Q,' Seven thought elatedly, 'that's where she gets her power. Q had said that he didn't need his power diagnosed when Seven was scanning the queen.' Seven still didn't see a path clear of the events that were unfolding, but could lay aside one question at least.

Seven then briefly wondered if Elsa had any other power of the Q, then decided that while they were traveling back to Arendelle, it might be best to ask the queen about it.

"We're all set, your majesty," Prince Hans said, holding the reigns to three horses. "I would be honored if you would like to ride my horse back to Arendelle. I have arranged for two guards to wait here so that your majesty and your friend, Lady Annika, might be able to ride back with us."

"That won't be necessary, Prince Hans," Elsa said, then produced a haze of blue fog, and created a horse and sleigh made of ice and snow, complete with what Seven thought were sleigh bells by the sound of twinkling when the horse pranced around while it waited. "We will all be returning to the castle."

"As you wish, your majesty," Prince Hans said, then turned back to the guards.

"With me, Annika," Elsa said as she climbed into the sleigh. "I shall be wanting to talk to you about my power on the way back."

"As you wish, your majesty," Seven said, and sat beside the queen. Once Seven was seated the horse started to walk, and the guards mounted their horses and flanked the sleigh, with six guards in front led by Prince Hans, and the rest following behind the sleigh. "Shall we begin with when you first noticed your power?"
