Doctor vs. Captain
5xs Jim Stole Bones' Line & 5xs Bones Said It
Story 7: Superhero
The Captain of the USS Enterprise ducks his head low, using the tall grass as cover as the clouds slide across the blue sky. Rain soon begins to fall and the blond is instantly soaked within its shower. With a sigh, the Captain keeps pushing further into the wilderness in his search for Spock.
The vulcan couldn't have gotten too far, right?
Jim squints his eyes, trying to make out the figure before him. The person is tall, slim shoulders and appears to have pointy ears. Must be Spock. The curious blond comes closer, not wanting to call out just in case his judgment is incorrect. It wouldn't be a first.
He comes so close that he feels like he's inches away, "Spock?" He whispers cautiously and the figure instantly snaps around.
"Captain?" Comes the robotic reply.
Jim smiles, it's definitely Spock, "Spock thank god it's you, Bones was gonna kill me."
"That would violate several Federation laws; I believe Doctor McCoy is intelligent enough to realize how such an action can lead to many troubles in the future." Spock responds sternly, his gaze the usual, intense.
"Don't take it so literally, jeez you robot." Jim rolls his eyes and drags Spock along towards where he left Bones on this god forsaken planet.
Jim and Spock continue their journey back, avoiding any of the search parties that are trying to take them back to the coal mines on which they were imprisoned at for several days. Good thing the Enterprise is waiting patiently for their return. They haven't done anything too extreme while they were gone, hopefully.
After several long hours they finally reach their hideout where Bones is moping around. As they enter, Bones immediately perks up and glares at them.
"Finally, there you are. You guys almost made me worry! Imagine that." Bones snaps at them and crashes down beside the two.
"Thanks for the warm welcome." Jim replies, giving the Doctor a playful shove which the vulcan only raises an eyebrow to.
"I believe it would be most wise and logical to leave while it is still night, the darkness will provide some cover." Spock informs them, studying the gleaming night sky.
"No, we need to find a way to communicate with the ship." Bones points out and Jim looks between his two friends.
"Bones is right Spock, if we want to make it off of this planet alive; we need to retrieve our communicators." Jim announces, chewing his lower lip.
"The only communication devices on this planet are the ones we brought with us, which are currently back at where we were being held. This planet is far too primitive to have developed any such technology." Spock states and Bones chuckles.
"Primitive my ass. This planet seems to have handled you just fine." Bones mutters and Jim holds back a smile, trying desperately to keep the situation serious.
"If you mean handled by getting kidnapped and shipped out to work in the mines, then I believe this planet has 'handled' you as well." Spock replies sharply, gaze narrowing down onto the Doctor's skull.
"Guys, guys, does it matter? Please can we just get this ordeal sorted out?" Jim growls, fists clenching and the two officers instantly quiet down and gaze at their Captain.
"Thank you." He grumbles, rubbing his eyes tiredly, "Now, what can we do to get those communicators back?"
"You can fly in and break into the compound single-handedly and steal back the communicators by yourself." Bones responds in a non-joking fashion, crossing his arms.
"Damn it Bones, I'm a Captain not a superhero!" Jim replies, shaking his head in negligible disbelief.
"And shit Jim, stop using my line. I'm serious now." Bones grunts, glaring at his superior officer.
Spock just glances between the Doctor and Captain, eyebrow raised with amusement. Jim and Bones continue to gaze at each other, stubbornly waiting for the other to back down, which isn't going to happen anytime soon.
"Captain, Doctor, please, we must sort through this." Spock says, making both of them snap their necks at him, glaring the vulcan down.
"Shut up Spock." Bones and Jim retort simultaneously.
Spock's eyebrows instantly shoot up and he blinks several times, "Well then, I believe it is most logical for you two to sort it out after you have gone through this primitive rivalry."
"Primitive, really Mister Spock?" Jim barks, rolling his eyes, "We're going back to primitive, now. God Spock. Thought you vulcans find name calling illogical." Bones adds grumpily.
"When did I start name calling? I only use descriptive words to accurately describe the situation." Spock replies with all honesty.
"Now he's in denial Jim, great, seems like our vulcan is broken, think we can fix him?" Bones questions, turning over to the Captain.
Jim glances at Spock then back to Bones, shaking his head, "I dunno Bones, this seems quite serious."
"I reassure you, nothing is mentally or physically wrong with me. All bodily functions are at normal." Spock replies, slightly confused.
"Oh, he's definitely broken." Jim says, nodding his head.
"That's okay we can just go back to Earth and pick us up a new one." Bones mutters and gathers to his feet, "Find a new one on eBay yeah?" Jim asks and follows Bones out.
"Oh definitely, I hear they sell for real cheap there." Bones responds, heading under the night sky.
Spock just stares blankly, he's 99.99% sure he just got played, and for once, he didn't see it coming.
