The sun's just starting to creep over the horizon when McCoy finally finds Jim.

The captain's leaning against a rail, looking out over the Iowa plains. McCoy stands next to him, ready to support him when his endurance gives out.

He wants to lecture the kid, tell him how stupid it was to beam down when he's still recovering, disappearing again only a few days after being found.

Instead, he's silent, enjoying the chance to stand next to his best friend - something they both thought they might never be able to do again.

It's one of the best sunrises they've ever seen.
