REWRITE OF THE ORIGINAL; Madelyn wanted to melt into her seat so he couldn't see her, or break the silence with a biting remark and rid herself of the angry questions flying through her head. The only thing she knew for sure now was that he was dangerous, and that as soon as he was put into Federation custody, she never wanted to see him again. (Serious M rating; Khan/McGivers AU)

Feel free to read this but be warned: THERE IS A MASSIVE REWRITE NOW AVAILABLE ON MY PROFILE that meets my standards far more than this story does. Nonetheless, rated M for important reasons. Khan/OC
