A/N: So, Khan. Yeah. I do not own him, his beautiful voice, or anything remotely Star Trek.
A month later, she spent the majority of her time in her office while Admiral Marcus sat with Khan. He was explaining to him that the other cryo tubes would be returned to Khan when he completed the task Marcus set out for him. Khan nodded, less eager than he had been that first day. Admiral Marcus had been promising the return of his crew for quite awhile now, and she thought Khan was getting smart to Marcus' plan.
"Doctor, if I asked you to, could you awaken my crew without Marcus knowing?" He looked at her, and the look of rage caused her blood to run cold. She shook it off, going to stand near him.
"I would Singh, but Marcus would know. He'd find a way to stop it." Khan shook his head.
"I think I know how to protect them. I just need your help. Can I count on you?" His gaze pierced hers, very different from that first time. Without thinking, she nodded, and he seemed to relax a bit. "Good. Thank you for your help, Doctor." He made to leave.
"It's Genevieve." She said. He stopped and turned, giving her a look. She blushed. "As long as we're both disobeying orders, might as well know each other's names, right?" He smirked and nodded before leaving. She returned to her office to work, using her personal PADD to develop a plan.
Another month later, and Khan had redesigned the torpedoes to hold the tubes. He sat in Genevieve's office, having her double check to make sure they would be safe. She had found few flaws, and the ones she did find were small and very easy to correct. Khan had grown more irritable, more angry, with each passing day.
"Khan, what is wrong?" She asked as he packed away the plans. He shook his head and she smacked him upside it lightly. He spun around, glaring at her. "Oh, don't you dare give me that, Mister. Now, sit down, and tell me what's wrong." She glared right back, and he looked awed. He sat down again, and looked up at her.
"I'm worried that Marcus may be starting to figure out our plan. We may have to escape sooner rather than later." He sounded strong, but she could see the fear in his eyes. "I can't lose them, Genevieve." He sounded so heart broken, and she wondered what he would do if they couldn't save them. She knelt in front of him, taking his hands gently.
"Khan, we'll find a way to save them. I've already found an uninhabited planet for you all." She said to cheer him up. It was outside Federation space, but she still had to set up transport. She smiled up at him as he looked down at her. He sighed, dragging a hand down his face.
"Doctor Harrison, are you saying you're not coming with us?" He said quietly. She sat back on her heels, confused. "It would be very difficult to wake them all without you." He said, giving her a look.
"I plan on taking you there and assisting, then leaving so you all can start over." She said, cocking her head to the side. She could have sworn they had discussed this. She stood. "I think you should go before any starts to get suspicious." He nodded, and left. She went back to planning their escape, finding a transport that would work just fine.
A/N: Oh no, Marcus is starting to push Khan! Review
