Jasmine stared blankly at the electronic panel in front of her. She was supposed to be going through scans of strategic battle plans to try and stop Nero but her mind wouldn't let her. What was she going to do? Everything kept running a mile a minute through her mind; she felt like it was the end for her and Spock.

She just stood there and let the event between him and Kirk progress and then she didn't even run after him. Sighing loudly Jasmine rubbed her face with the palm of her hands.

"Commander," Chekov's voice sounded next to her.

Moving her hands Jasmine looked at the young Russian, "Yes?"

"I wanted to let you know that I think I might have found a way to get to Nero."

This perked up the woman; Chekov pressed a few things on her screen and everything popped up. Jasmine's eyes scanned quickly and broke down everything he came up with.

"How did you come up with this?"

"I paid attention to your lectures, Commander."

A small smirk appeared on her face, "This is why I always liked you Chekov. Come on we have to show Jim."

They quickly made their way over to where Jim was; Bones, Sulu, and Marie were standing beside him.

"Captain Kirk, Captain Kirk."

Jim turned quickly, his eyes flickering from Jasmine to Chekov, "What is it?"

"Based on the Narada's course from Vulcan, I have projected that Nero will travel past Saturn." Both Marie and Jasmine smiled at how think Chekov's accent got thicker when he got excited.

Jim's brows pulled together in confusion, "Okay."

Jasmine rolled her eyes, "Like you said we need to stay invisible to Nero or he'll destroy us."

"If Mr. Scott can get us to warp factor 4, and if we drop out of orbit behind one of Saturn's moons, say Titan. The magnetic distortion from the planets rings will make us invisible to Nero's sensors." A heavy sigh was released from Chekov; Jasmine placed a hand on his shoulder.

"From there as long as his drill is not activated we can beam aboard the ship."

Scotty walked up still trying to get water out of his ears, "Aye that should work."

Bones the ever doubtful spoke up, "Wait a minute, kid how old are you?"

"17, sir," Chekov announced proudly.

"Oh good, he's 17," Bones walked up to Jim.

"Hey he might be 17 but he is one of the best students I've mentored. So if you question his work, you question mine."

"Doctor I also concur with Mr. Chekov and Commander Kirk's strategy."

Jasmine froze as everyone turned to where Spock stood.

"I can confirm his telemetry. If Mr. Sulu is able to maneuver us into position, I can beam aboard Nero's ship, steal back the black hole device and if possible bring back Captain Pike."

Slowly turning Jasmine's eyes locked onto Spock's; he only stood a few feet away but if felt like miles.

Jim walked up to him, "I won't allow you to do that, Mr. Spock."

A slight frown appeared on Spock's face, "Romulans and Vulcans share a common ancestry. Our cultured similarities will make it easier for me to access the ships computers to locate the device. Also my mother was human, which makes Earth the only home I have left." Spock's eyes flickered to Jasmine, her face heated up quickly under his gaze.

"I'm coming with you," Jim's reply caused everyone to look at him.

It wasn't a surprise that he would volunteer to do something so reckless; it was the simple gesture to do it with Spock.

"I would site regulations but I know you would simply ignore it," Spock spoke casually.

A smile broke across Jim's face, "See we are getting to know each other."

Quickly before anyone understood what happened Jim smacked Spock's arm hard and walked off the Bridge. Jasmine and Marie exchanged looks like 'what the hell just happened'. Turning back to Spock he took a step closer to her, causing her breath to get caught in her throat.

"If you would please meet me in the teleport room before we leave Commander Kirk, I would greatly appreciate it." Before Jasmine could even react Spock gave her a swift nod and was walking away.

"Well, that's a good thing right?" Marie questioned as she walked up to her friend.

"I have no idea anymore. They both confuse me." As Marie started to walk away Jasmine grabbed her arm. "And where do you think you're going?"

"Back to my station?" She gestured lightly.

Jasmine narrowed her eyes at the younger girl, "No you're going to the teleport room as well."

Marie's eyes widened, "Why?"

"Because my brother might be going on a suicide mission and he will not die without at least knowing your name."

"Then why don't you tell him it," Marie was trying to get out of Jasmines tight grip as she was getting pulled down the hall.

"That's not how it works. You're going to tell him your name and anything else you might want him to know before he might die."

"Something is so morbid about how you can talk so easily about Jim's death."

Jasmine gave Marie a smirk, "That's because my brothers a moron, and has been in more death defying moments anyone can count." Marie couldn't argue with that one, one day that boy's luck is going to run out.

Stepping into the teleport room the girls found Scotty already at the control panel with Jim discussing last minute things with him. Spock was adjusting his suit on the teleport pad unaware that Jasmine was staring at him. Marie nudged her toward Jim first, Jasmine gave her a look before walking up to her twin.

Her eyes couldn't help but scan over him, how much they were similar yet different. The idea of actually losing him finally crept into her mind as reality, if anything went wrong and it usually did for Jim, he could die.

"Hey what are you doing here?" Jim's voice pulled her out of her thoughts.

She opened her mouth as if to say something but nothing came out. What was she suppose to say? Have a nice trip, don't die. Frustrated Jasmine threw her arms around Jim and held him tight.

Images of him dying, of her being alone, of her missing her other half kept flashing at her. "Jasmine, hey what's the matter?" His voice was soft, like how he used to talk to her when she would get scared as a kid.

It helped pulled her back to her senses, "Don't do anything stupid Jim. You do what you have to and get out. I can't loose you." Her words explained everything to him, and he held her close.

"Its you and me, together as one. I'm coming back, sis." She nodded against his shoulder then slowly pulled away, blinking away any tears that were threatening to fall. He smiled at her, a smile that she knew came from her father.

"Okay." Taking a deep breath she looked over at Spock and started toward him.

Jim frowned wondering why she was going to him.

Jasmine stopped as she reached the platform where Spock was standing. He had watched the whole scene between her and Jim; she had always told him that because they were twins they had a deep secret connection. She stood before him now, looking almost lost and afraid.

"I just wanted to say, that I'm sorry." Her words confused him, why was she apologizing to him, when it felt like it should be him apologizing to her.

"I feel like I abandoned you when you needed me, like I let you down."

"Enough," Spock stopped her; Jasmines eyes widened at his response."I want to thank you. You have constantly been by my side, but when I should have listened to you, it was I who abandoned you."

Jasmine stepped closer to Spock, her chest pressing lightly against his; her eyes searching his. She could truly see his emotions; see what he was feeling in this moment.

"Thank you, for always loving me."

Before Jasmine could even respond, Spock's arms came around her and pulled her fully to him, his lips quickly upon hers. The action itself took her breath away, but it was the best feeling in the world. Her fingers were digging hard into his shoulders; his large hands were strong against her back. Knowing it had to end, they gently pulled back, kissing again lightly and once more.

"I do love you, I always will." It came out as a whisper but she knew Spock heard it.

"I'll come back to you." His lips grazed hers as he said that, giving her a final kiss.

He placed her off the platform; Jasmine wrapping her arms around herself as she stood staring at him.

Marie couldn't help but smile at the couple; she always felt that if they couldn't make it no one could. She glanced to Jim and his face nearly made her laugh out loud. He was staring at Jasmine and Spock in complete shock and confusion. Well he was going to find out sooner or later, Marie thought to herself.

"Um, Jim?" Marie tapped him lightly on his shoulder to get his attention.

He slowly turned to her his eyes being the last thing as they were still focused on his sister. "How...How long has that been...that?" He asked.

"Oh over a year now. She's really good at hiding things like that."

"Yeah."

Marie continued to look at him; she hadn't dated much in her time at the academy. Her focus required much of her time and many of the guys were too cocky for her to want any type of relationship with them. Jim had been one of those guys, but he had always been able to find a way to make her soften up. Maybe she was starting to regret not letting herself have some fun, especially now that Jim might not come back.

"Marie." Her name slipped from her lips quickly.

"What was that?" Jim turned completely to her.

Taking a deep breath she stared directly into those sparkling blue eyes, "My names Marie."

A small smile crept onto his face, "Marie."

She nodded; he repeated it again and again. "Yes its Marie."

"I like it."

A light flush came across her cheeks, in that moment she through everything out the window. Grabbing Jim by the neck she pulled him to her; her lips slightly parted as she kissed him. He was caught off guard but quickly recovered and started kissing her back. Tongues brushing against each other; a moan erupted from Jim's throat.

Pulling away Marie panted lightly, "Come back safe. Okay?"

Jim just stared at her, his head just nodding in agreement as he walked over to the platform.

"Okie dokie then. If there is any common sense in the design in the enemy ship, you should be put somewhere in the cargo bay," Scotty announced.

Kirk glanced around to everyone, "Energize."

After they disappeared, Marie and Jasmine looked at each other before heading to the Bridge.
