Code Tag

Disclaimer ~ I do not own Star Trek

*The one where Bones tries to give Jim a hypo and Jim flees*

"Attention crew of the Enterprise and guests," Uhura's voice came over the speakers, causing Spock to raise an eyebrow. "A Code Tag has been initiated. If you are in the halls be careful. That is all."

Spock almost sighed. The only reason he didn't was because his father and several other members of the Vulcan High Council were with him. A code tag could go on for hours without interference.

"I believe it is best we put the tour on hold for the moment. It is unwise to be wandering the halls until the all clear has been given," Spock said calmly to the elders. If they were human it is likely (87.35% to be exact) that they would be giving him varying expressions of confusion. But since they were Vulcan, Spock was only given raised eyebrows and nods. Unfortunately, the closest room that could hold the group without disturbing the normal working process or any ongoing experiments was three hundred thirty-six feet away from his current position.

The group was only fifty-seven point two feet away from safety when the reason for the code tag was made clear. James T. Kirk, Captain of the USS Enterprise, was sprinting towards the group with Doctor McCoy right behind him. The captain took on an expression of panic upon seeing the group but did not slow down. Instead, he veered towards the wall and executed something the humans called 'parkour' to kick off the walls and over the group of Vulcans.

"Spock! Grab him!" Doctor McCoy yelled. The Doctor had slowed down seventeen point eight percent as he went through the group. This time Spock did sigh out loud. He did, however, do as the doctor said. Seven point nine strides had him closing the distance between him and their captain. One point two strides more enabled him to snatch their captain around the middle and haul him over his shoulder.

"Oi! Spock put me down!" Jim yelled, failing his limbs around in an attempt to dislodge Spock's hold.

"Negative Captain. The sooner you receive your vaccine the sooner you can return to your job and I to mine," Spock stated. The mention of hypos only made Jim struggle more. Spock actually had to pause and readjust his hold on the captain. He was quite...wriggly. If Spock was fully human then there was no doubt Jim would have already been able to escape his hold.

"Mutiny! You're supposed to be on my side Spock!" Jim yelled. Spock didn't think it was possible for Jim to flail about any more than he already was, but as Doctor McCoy approached his struggles increased.

"I am on your side Captain. It is my job as your first officer to make sure you are in peak health. That means assisting Doctor McCoy in making sure you receive the proper vaccines," Spock said calmly. This was a scenario/argument they've had many (341) times in the past four years. As usual, Doctor McCoy didn't hesitate to jab the hypo into the Captain's neck. This needed to be done before Spock could put Jim down, as Jim would only run away again.

"Stop whining infant! Everyone else on the ship had their vaccines weeks ago!" McCoy yelled. Spock took this as his cue to set the Captain back on the ground.

"But Bones," he whined. "You're always so mean when giving me hypos. I'll have bruises for days afterwards!"

"Then stop pissing me off by avoiding them!"

"Captain, Doctor. Please excuse me. I have to finish giving the tour," Spock said. He waited until the two men nodded and walked to a computer screen in the wall.

"Attention crew of the Enterprise. The Code Tag is now lifted. Please return to your normal schedule," Spock said, broadcasting the message across the ship. He then turned to his father and the other diplomats.

"Let us return to our tour elders," Spock said. Had he stayed turned around instead of retaking his place at the front of the group, he would have seen several Vulcans show an expression of utter bafflement. As it was, Sulu would point it out to Jim when he reviewed the security footage.

The only con about summer is that when you go swimming suddenly several hours go by and you think "wait. I need that time to write". Well...that's not the only con. The main con is bugs. I hate them. Always end up with multiple bug bites if I stay outside for even a couple minutes. Never fun.

No idea what the next chapter will be! Hope it's a good one.
