SPOV.
Time is all we need. Time is what we have. It is time to get back our captain, to get my love back. I was in the med-bay with the Doctor constructing a virus to send the Borg asleep or at least disconnect them from the hive mind. B'Elanna was getting ready for her away mission, Tom was preparing the Delta Flyer to take transport, and Harry kept a track on the Borg cube that Kathryn was on. We've been working hard at every hour of the day and soon our time was approaching. The virus was ready, B'Elanna and Tom were at their post, and all I need to do is let Kathryn know. I went to my alcove and entered Unimatrix Zero.
Unimatrix Zero.
I walked around Unimatrix Zero to see if I can find the meeting that was going to be held here. I soon heard voices so I followed the voices to the huge meeting. People were gathered around and Kathryn was giving the key note speech.
"After this," Kathryn said, "Unimatrix Zero will be destroyed but we will be freed. My ship, my crew has planned our release from the collective. What they have done is constructed a virus that will disconnect us from the hive mind and from there we will be free!" Everyone cheered in happiness. I walked up next Kathryn and spoke.
"Everything is ready, all will happen in due time. But once this goes ahead there is no way of coming back to Unimatrix Zero. Unimatrix will be destroyed but another will be build only we don't know who will do it and when. So once you have finished regenerating don't come back here. If you are disconnected from the hive mind please help us finish our final attack on the queen." Everyone cheered ready for the fight. Everyone left; Kathryn and I were the last people left.
"I found the ring," I said, "Plus the note-pad that you left next to it."
"You weren't supposed to listen to the note-pad." Kathryn said, smiling.
"Bit too late for that." I replied. We both had large grins on our faces. Kathryn pulled me in and kissed me. We kissed like we never kissed before and I was pushed against the tree behind us. I placed my hands on Kathryn's waist moving one of them up her shirt as we continue kissing. As my hand touched her bear skin I slid my up but I was stopped in my tracks as Kathryn pulled out of the kiss and said,
"Seven I need you to wake so I can come back now." I ignored what Kathryn said and kissed her again before saying,
"Everything is under control I finished early to let everyone in Unimatrix Zero know that the time to leave Unimatrix is now. B'Elanna and Tom don't leave until ten minutes so I have time to be here with you."
"Seven I want to really feel you in my arms, I want to really feel your lips on mine, I really want to be back on Voyager with you and the rest of the crew. I don't want to wake up on the same Borg doing the Queens biding. I don't want to wait anymore. All I want is to be back on Voyager to be with you." I didn't know what to say. I was about to leave Unimatrix Zero but Kathryn stopped me as she grabbed my arm and swung me around.
"Seven I didn't mean we leave here like this." Kathryn said.
"It's almost time to launch our attack, I should probably head back." I replied.
"Seven, wait." Kathryn said. I slowly walked away feeling like I just been rejected but I might be wrong on this. Kathryn grabbed my arm to turn me around and said to me,
"If you think for a second that I don't love you. You're wrong, I love you so much Seven of Nine. I would do anything to be with you again, I've done all I could to save you but I seem to be stuck. I asked you to marry me because I want to be with you Seven for the rest of our life but Seven I don't want to be in Unimatrix Zero any longer I need to be able to hold you in my arms, to feel your body on mine, to feel your lips on mine as if it was the first time I kissed you." I stood there staring at her. Kathryn leaned in to kiss me but I pulled away as I looked away from her. Kathryn placed her hand on my check to turn my face so I could see into her eyes.
"Seven can we please save this moment for when I return. I don't want to remember it in Unimatrix Zero, I want to remember it on Voyager."
"Captain I need to head back to Voyager so we can save you." This was the first time I ever called her captain when we're alone. Kathryn was surprised when I called her captain.
"Umm… Well then be quick, Seven." Was all Kathryn could say. I left Kathryn standing there with a whiten look on her face. I felt a little guilty leaving her like that and I believe that I hurt her.
Back On Voyager.
I walked to the shuttle bay to check on Tom and B'Elanna. If this mission going work I need to give them a quick small briefing on what they need to do. I continue to feel bad leaving Kathryn like that, never had we done this. I entered the shuttle bay to see Tom and B'Elanna waiting for me .
"Seven you're alright?" Tom asked.
"I'm fine." I replied. "Right everyone is leaving Unimatrix Zero right now, it's all up to you now. Any questions?"
"Is the captain fine?" B'Elanna asked.
"Yes she is, any other questions?" No one asked any more questions.
"Right to your stations and come back with our captain in one piece. Understood?"
"Yes ma'am." Tom and B'Elanna answered. Tom and B'Elanna boarded the Delta Flyer and left Voyager. I started to head to Astrometrics to do other work and keep an eye on things in case something went wrong.
I started to work but couldn't, I tried to get myself to work but I still couldn't get to work, my mind was set, set on Kathryn. Being Borg I didn't have to deal with these human emotions but now I feel lost without Kathryn I need her back, I need to see her now. But will I have time to do that.
"Harry to Seven of Nine." Harry said over the com.
"Go ahead."
"Seven the Delta Flyer has made it pass the Borg cubes and is about ready to beam B'Elanna over to the Cube that the captain is on."
"Understood keep me posted, I'll monitor some of it from Astrometrics."
"Right Harry out." I need to keep my mind on the task. I started to keep a sensor lock on the Delta Flyer and keep a lock on Tom and B'Elanna's life signs. My only problem was I can't keep my mind on the task, but rescuing Kathryn is the task I requested, we requested it. I want her back so I don't have to spend another day without her. I need to see her.
