A NEW Q FOR YOU
Captain Kathryn Janeway stood on the bridge looking at the stars zip by on the view-screen as Voyager and her crew just home were on their first mission since their return to the alpha quadrant three months earlier. As she stood there her thoughts drifted back to friends left in the delta quadrant. She had gotten the chance to talk to Mr. Neelix two days ago in a subspace transmission. He told her of the ongoing struggle of the Telaxian's living on the asteroid and how he had negotiated a treaty all be it a shaky one to allow the Telaxian's to continue living there in exchange they would help with the mining of the asteroid so long as it didn't endanger there lives in the process.
"Captain we are nearing the coordinates." Came the monotone voice of her chef tactical officer.
"Thank you Mr. Tuvok. Harry what are your readings?"
"Nothing on long-range scan's Captain."
"Very well keep me posted."
As Janeway turned to face the view-screen a flash of light engulfed the bridge and Janeway knew it could mean only one thing Q but as she braced her self for the headache she felt coming on she heard a voice say something she hadn't expedited.
"Hello Aunt Kathy." And she turned to see a dashing young man in a starfleet uniform sitting in her captain's chair.
"Aunt Kathy? Do I know you."
"Aunt Kathy you mean you don't recognize you nephew it's me Q?"
"Q? Last time I saw you, you were about sixteen or seventeen."
"Yes true in the way you measure time that's the way I looked to you. Lets not get in to the whole Time, space and age thing I've come to visit. Besides now that I don't have Q following me around like a little lost puppy I can come and go with out him making a mess of things and leaving me to clean them up."
Janeway looked at the now twenty something Q with a smile "join me in my ready room Q?"
As they both entered her ready room she looked at Q with a smile. She couldn't help but notice he didn't look a thing like his father, which in her book was a good thing. She couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy at the fact that if Q was here that meant that in all likelihood Q was not far away and as always she felt unnerved at the thought of Q showing up on her ship."
"So Q what brings you hear?"
"Well to tell you the truth Aunt Kathy…"
"Stop right there." Janeway interrupted "Call me Kathryn or Captain Aunt Cathy makes me feel so damn old …ok"
"Ok Aunt Kath… Kathryn I have something I would like to talk to you about. It's something I have been thinking about for a few thousand years. I just cant talk to Q about it because he would disown me and I don't know what the continuum would do… well that's not true I do know what they would do. They would probably strip me of my Q powers or turn me into a Klingon slime Bat or both."
"Q you can talk to me about anything and from the way you sound it's big now why don't you sit down and tell me what it is you are talking about."
Q looked at Janeway with a look she had never saw on a Q's face the look of a young boy frightened because he knew he had did something he shouldn't have done and what bothered her the most is the fact that he hadn't done anything yet.
"O.k. said Q "I want to join Starfleet.
