"Father, come quick!" Anika tugged Khan's sleeve with a playful smile that he returned with ease. It had been a strange adjustment, moving to New Vulcan and gaining a daughter, but Makena had made him see well enough to know that this was the right decision.
It had been recorded in the files that Khan had died as one of the thousands and all files regarding him had been erased.
Khan's crew had relocated to New Vulcan as well after Captain Kirk had claimed of their demise in an explosion as well. They were happy now and he could not be happier.
"I will be there in a moment, child." He said with a chuckle and she hurried out of their small house. He smiled to himself warmly at how her unseeing eyes had gleamed with happiness. Perhaps his own happiness had been reflecting at him.
He came outside and laughed when Anika pounced on him and clung to his back, convincing him to carry her like so. With a roll of his eyes, he obliged and she pointed him in the right direction to where Spock stood patiently waiting by a small ship that would carry them back to The Enterprise.
"I am glad to see that you two are getting along so well." Spock said with an amused smile.
"Uncle Spock!" Anika exclaimed, sliding to the ground and running to his embrace. "When will you come back?"
"Hopefully soon, little one." He said, picking her up and tossing her into the air. "But I must leave for a long while. You keep an eye on your father while I'm away, though. He tends to get into trouble."
"I'm so relieved you show so much confidence in me." Khan muttered.
While Khan, Spock and the energetic child spoke, two hooded figures stood upon a cliff above, watching them carefully.
"Was this the right decision, sister?" Spock Prime asked with a smile as Anika tackled Khan to the ground.
"Do you doubt my choice, little one?" She questioned with a chuckle.
"No, though I do believe I am too old to be called 'little one' by someone as young as you."
She smirked, "In any time line, I am your older sister. No matter how old you become, you will always be a little one to me."
She turned away from the scene and began to walk upon the trail that would lead to her secluded hut farthest from the colony.
"You never did tell me how you managed to survive that nuclear core, Makena."
She stopped and turned her head slightly. "Sometimes the blind see more than some may think." She replied quietly. "And please, call me Siehe."
