I woke up hearing new voices. I slowly sat up. It seemed Scotty had but me on a couch with a blanket over me. I looked around, I couldn't see anyone. My forehead felt weird. My hand felt the bandage around my head. It even covered my eyebrows. I decided to let it be, I couldn't do it better without a mirror anyway. I swung my legs down and slowly got standing. I leaned onto different things as I slowly made my way to the voices. The voices' owners came in sight when I went into a room with a transporter. I just managed to see Scotty and a man being beamed away. I blinked a couple of times. "Was that just Scotty beaming away?"
I jumped when a man answered from behind me. "Affirmative. You must be T'Lila, Amgreth said-" He stopped talking when I turned around.
I was shocked.
It was Spock! And when not! It was a bloody old Spock standing in front of me!
He broke into a semi-smile "Tamsu. What brings you away from Earth?"
I blinked.
And when a blink again.
"Spock? Is that you?"
"I am Spock. But not your Spock."
I practically jumped on him and clinged to him for dear life. It was Spock! I was laughing out loud, until I realized that last thing he had said. I looked up in his dark eyes. They were indeed Spocks, and then not.
"Tamsu. You have awakened. This is Ambassador Spock. He is from the future. Mr. Scott and a Mr. Kirk have beamed onboard the Enterprise to save Earth from a Romulan vessel, also from the future." I stared at Amgreth that had appeared.
And then I cried. I had just realized, if I had ever hoped to see dad and my Spock alive, it would now be over. I would have lost two planets in one day. Spock put his hand on my head. He didn't try to push me away as he guided me to a chair and made me sit down.
"She has done that before, in the shuttle. She starts out with one strong reaction and ends in a different, but just as strong reaction in minimum time." Stupid Amgreth.
I looked up in Spock's eyes. They looked so old.
"Did you see it?" my voice was tiny but Vulcans have perfect hearing. He knew what I meant.
"Yes." I grabbed his hand and placed it on my face.
"If you are from the future, you must have changed it by your very presence. Look and see what has changed." I wanted him to tell me if my family would have lived happily in another time and life.
He pressed his fingers into my skull and I felt the mind melt start and him going through my life. He stepped over my early life; I guessed it meant it would be the same. Mom would still die and T'Laina would still be my guardian. He slowed down when I reached my 19th year…
