A/N: This is just a very short oneshot that takes place at the end of the episode 'Counterpoint'. There's only one pick-up/rebuttal this time. Also, I've set up a poll on my profile so you can choose who will be in the next chapter. Please vote for who you want to make an appearance or if you have any suggestions for a character that I don't have listed just let me know.


"The bridge is yours."

As the Devore inspector walked up the steps and towards the turbo lift Janeway stared ahead, not showing any outward emotions over the events and betrayal of the past few days. She heard the doors swoosh open over the sound of Mahler's first symphony, but also noticed they didn't close immediately.

"Do you think it was fate that brought us together?" She heard from behind her. Inspector Kashyk's smooth voice carried through the otherwise empty bridge, no amount of regret or remorse, only the usual confident and slightly teasing tone she'd become accustomed to.

"Nope," She began as a slow smirk appeared on her face. "Just bad luck." She added, relaxing a bit back into the chair and looking ahead at the view screen with her own confident demeanor.

A deep chuckle echoed around the bridge before being cut off by the swooshing of the turbo lift doors. Kashyk had been right about one thing…at times like this, no one could doubt she was in command of this ship.


I know, it was really short. Hope you liked it though! And don't forget to vote on the poll!
