Why her? That was the question that kept circling around her mind. And the answer…well she hadn't figured that out yet. The main word there being 'yet'. Of course if this kept up she wouldn't have to worry about it because the cause of her annoyance would strapped to probe and sent into a supernova! Now that would be fun….and a good stress reliever too.

"So far, other then to you, he has only appeared to Mr. Paris, Ensign Kim, and Mr. Neelix. However Lt Torres did mention that she thought she may have seen him around Engineering, but she can't be sure it was actually him." Tuvok explained. She must have zoned out for moment. Possibly due to lack of sleep since someone had a habit of trying to sneak into bed with her at night.

"When did B'Elanna say she might have seen him?" She asked, though she had a feeling she already knew the answer.

"Approximately two hours ago." The vulcan officer replied while looking down at her from where he stood in front of her desk.

"It was him then. I was going to drop by Engineering before heading to the bridge, but decided to post pone that when he showed up outside the turbo lift." She explained, leaning back in her office chair. "He's up to something, Tuvok."

"Perhaps." Her chief of security stated with a raised eyebrow. She raised her own eyebrow at that answer.

"Perhaps? You think he's telling the truth?" She didn't bother adding 'this time'.

"The first member of the Continuum we met had wanted to end his monotonous existence. It is possible that Q is feeling that tediousness so is now wishing to try something new and he could therefore indeed be truthful about his wish to 'settle down'." He explained.

He had a point she supposed, but it just didn't feel right. "That is a possibility." She stated, nodding her head thoughtfully. "It just doesn't fit though. This is Q we're talking about. He could be telling us the truth, but there could also be something he's not telling us."

She looked up at her security officer who was still standing in the middle of her ready room. "And why me?" She questioned with a hint of annoyance lacing her voice.

"Because Kathy, I find you intriguing. You would make an excellent mother to my child!" Q was apparently back.

She didn't bother to look behind her where she could sense him standing. Instead she simply rolled her eyes and glanced at Tuvok who gave her a knowing look. If she hadn't known better she'd say her vulcan officer had even sighed in annoyance.

"You should feel honored! I've picked you over…"

"Billions of women over the entire universe. I've heard it before, Q." She stated while standing and shooting him a glare. Couldn't he just leave her alone for a few hours? Well, if she was going to have to deal with him then she was having more coffee.

She moved around her desk, giving Tuvok an exasperated look as she passed, and walked over to the replictor. She was just about to order coffee when…

Poof

Q was suddenly right in front of her and far to close for comfort. Now he was literally standing between her and her coffee? Oh, he was dead…

"You know, Kathryn…" He began softly, leaning closer to her ear and glancing over her shoulder at the security chief. "I've been told I have the cool sexual prowess of a Romulan."

She just stared at him for a second un-amused and uninterested. "Then why don't you go find another Romulan to have babies with and leave this simple human biped alone." With that she put her hand on his arm and shoved him away from the replicator.

"Coffee. Black." She ordered, messaging her temples. Now she had a headache coming on. Wonderful.

"But Kathy…" Q began again. She turn her head and glared at him, effectively shutting him up momentarily as he sighed and sank down onto her couch.

Turning her attention back to the replictor, she took the newly materialized cup and immediately sipped it's contents. It was cold. Cold, stale coffee? It was all Q's fault. She didn't know how, but it was!

As she walked by she made sure to give the pouting Q another glare before focusing her attention on Tuvok. Maybe if she ignored him he'd just poof himself somewhere else.

"How's the new organization system for the weapon lockers going?" She asked, blatantly ignoring Q as he followed her down to her main office area.

"I believe it will cut response time by…" Tuvok began, but was stopped abruptly by Q sliding in-between them.

"Kathy, just think of it! The mother of a Q! Just you, me, and our little bundle of omnipotence gallivanting around the galaxy." Q stated with a grin and flaying an arm in the air as if to demonstrate 'gallivanting'.

"Q, I said 'no' already and there's only so many ways to say it!" She was really getting tired of this and of him.

"Are you sure, Kathryn? I hear it's lonely at the top." He said softy with an innocence that was betrayed by the suggestive glint in his eyes and smirk forming as he looked her up and down.

"Not that lonely. And you will never see me on top, nor any other position for that matter." She added when he went to speak with that mischievous look in his eyes again.

"Don't worry, darling. I'll show you how serious I am about us, and I'll change you're mind in the end." Q stated determinedly.

"Not likely." She muttered and then with a grin and a snap of his fingers he was gone.

"Tuvok?" She asked the security chief who was still standing in front of her.

"Yes, Captain." Came the expected reply.

"Could you please see if you can get some half decent coffee out of that thing." She asked, not bothering to keep the annoyance out of her voice while gesturing to the traitorous replicator behind her.

Tuvok raised and eyebrow, but knew better then to say a word. Instead he just walked over to the replicator, leaving her to contemplate all the ways she could kill a Q.
