The Three Sisters
By Voyager Queen
It might help you to understand my story if you've read the Section 31 Voyager book but you don't have to. I've explained Section 31 in the first Three Sisters story.
Janeway exited her ready room and was surprised to see that Tom wasn't at his post. "Tuvok, where's Lieutenant Paris?"
"He has neglected to report for his duty shift."
Janeway frowned, "That's not like Tom… Janeway to Paris… Paris respond… Computer, locate Lieutenant Paris."
"Lieutenant Paris is not on board."
* * Unknown Ship * *
"Tom! Tom wake up!"
Tom groaned and opened his eyes. There was a young girl leaning over him and he wouldn't have recognized her if not for the familiar black eyes and the necklace around her neck. "Evey?" he said hoarsely.
She smiled. And he remembered that smile, "The one and the only."
He would have laughed if not for the pain throbbing in his head.
"How…" Tom started.
"Are we here?" Evey finished. "I could ask you the same but we haven't the time." Evey grabbed his hands and pulled him up.
"What's going on Evey?" Tom demanded.
"Don't you trust me?" she asked, meeting his eyes.
"I use to. I have no idea what's happened to you these last five years."
"And I have no time to tell you. I rescued you from my sisters once. I need your help if I'm to do it again."
"If I remember correctly, I was the one who ended up rescuing you."
Evey smiled, "Yes, and I owe you my life, I will not betray you."
Tom nodded and Evey began to lead him to a vent. They'd only just reached it when the door crashed opened. Mirage and Kade stood staring at them.
"Trying to help him escape again, Evey?" Mirage asked cruelly. "You should not have done that, you've been on thin ice with us as it is."
"I won't let you hurt him!" Evey cried, her voice radiating with pure rage.
"Oh, I have no intentions of hurting Tom Paris."
Tom crossed his arms, "Too bad you didn't have that attitude five years ago. You could have saved us all a lot of pain."
"You might want to choose your words more carefully, love. I am after all holding a phaser trained on you."
Tom smiled, "But you wouldn't hurt Tom Paris."
Mirage smiled evilly and reamed her phaser at Evey. Kade tensed but made no move to stop her. "You're right, I wouldn't. But if you don't behave I'll kill little Evangeline."
"You wouldn't kill your sister," Tom cried.
Her wild eyes darted to his, "Wouldn't I? She's been nothing but trouble. She's of no use to me. She's clumsy. She doesn't pick up on any of the training we put her through. She means nothing to me."
"How could five years have changed you so much?" he asked softly.
"Oh, I've not changed. Did you really believe I was allowing you to stay because you saved my sister? Because I loved you?" Mirage laughed harshly. "No, I had other plans for you Tom Paris but Kathryn Janeway ruined all that. Now I've been handed the chance of a lifetime. I've got you back and I can get my revenge on Janeway."
"I won't let you," Tom said firmly.
Mirage motioned to Kade who shot both Tom and Evey with her phaser. It was set on stun and they both fell unconscious to the floor.
"Tie them up," Mirage ordered Kade as she left the room. "Tightly."
* * Voyager * *
"He can't have just disappeared!" Janeway barked as she looked at her senor officers. Then she immediately resumed her pacing around the briefing room.
They'd shifted through all the sensor logs, transporter records, all the shuttles were accounted for but no sign of Tom Paris. According to the computer he disappeared at 22:09 just after leaving B'Elanna and Harry at Sandrines in the holodeck. But there was absolutely no evidence as to 'how'.
"Captain," Harry spoke up. "I don't know if it means anything but there was a slight fluctuation in subspace 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after Tom disappeared."
"That's a big coincidence."
B'Elanna leaned forward clasping her hands on the table, "I don't think it's a coincidence. That sounds like it could be a cloaked ship."
"A cloaked ship?" Chakotay said dubiously. "Even if that's what it was, how and why did they abduct Tom Paris?"
"I suppose we'll need to find them and ask them, Commander," Janeway said firmly. "Harry, run continuous scans looking for subspace fluctuations."
Harry nodded and Janeway sighed, "We'll get him back… Dismissed."
* * Mirage's ship * *
Evey woke up groggily with a pain in her side. She could feel that her wrists and ankles were bound. She saw Tom lying to her left, still unconscious and also tied up.
Evey scooted over to him, "Tom," she whispered. "Tom, wake up."
Tom grimaced and lifted his head taking in their situation. He pulled himself into a sitting position and leaned against the wall next to Evey.
"Well, Evey, it looks like you have the time to tell me about the last five years now," he said as he tried to free his hands from the ropes.
Evey sighed, "A lot has happened Tom, Mirage has slowly been showing her true colors. How ruthless she really is. She's up to something but I'm not sure what. Not even Kade knows, Kade doesn't know anything. She just follows Mirage blindly afraid to do anything else. She knows Mirage will kill her if she doesn't."
"What about you?"
"It's the same with me but I usually don't listen to mirage anyway. Now she can't kill me because she needs me as leverage."
"For my cooperation," Tom said as he ripped his hands free from the ropes.
"Exactly," Evey agreed with a sigh as Tom untangled himself from the rest of the ropes. He moved over to Evey and began to untie her wrists.
She looked at him with disbelief, "How…"
"Did I free myself? I'd tell you, but we haven't the time." He smiled as he pulled Evey to her feet.
Just as they raced for the door, it opened. Light from the hall illuminated Mirages figure. She was holding a black phaser rifle.
"You're quicker than I remember," she said with an evil smile. "But escape is futile, I've been watching you on camera since you arrived. Come with me."
Tom and Evey reluctantly preceded Mirage from the room. Mirage took them to the bridge, she made them stand in the corner with Kade holding a phaser of them then she went to the helm. She pressed a few buttons then looked up with a smile.
"Everything is going as planned. It won't be long now," she said cryptically.
* * Voyager * *
"Captain!" Harry called urgently. "A ship has just decloaked off our starboard bow!"
"Hail them!" Janeway barked.
The person who appeared on the viewscreen was someone she recognized instantly. It was someone she'd never thought she'd see again.
"Mirage," she gasped.
"So you do remember me, Janeway? I wondered if you would."
"How could I forget? Where's Tom?"'
"The young Lieutenant? He's quite alright."
"I want you to return my crewman immediately," Janeway growled.
"I'll be making the demands here. If you want your precious Paris back you'll do as I say. I want you to board a shuttle and land in my dockingbay… alone. If there is anyone with you, Tom is dead. If you don't come, Tom is dead. You try anything…"
"Tom is dead," Janeway mocked harshly. "I understand."
"Good. I'll be waiting," Mirage said lightly.
"Captain, it is highly probable that this is a trap," Tuvok said as Janeway headed to the turbolift.
"I realize that," she responded as she entered. "I'm going anyway."
* * Mirage's ship * *
Janeway's face disappeared from the viewscreen and Mirage turned to Kade.
"Dear sister, you've been of great help to me," Kade smiled at the compliment. "But I'm afraid your usefulness is at an end."
"What?" Kade stuttered stepping forward. Mirage raised her rifle and fired.
Evey screamed as Kade was sprawled to the floor and Tom started towards her but Mirage reached her first. Mirage picked up Kade's phaser and threw it over her shoulder.
"We're going to the dockingbay. Move!" she ordered and Tom and Evey did as she said.
* * The Cochran * *
Janeway flew the shuttle away from Voyager and headed to Mirage's ship. She realized there was more going on here than she understood. She would be careful and she would protect Tom at all costs. He may act old and experienced but to her he was still a child.
She couldn't help wondering what it was Mirage wanted. In the Alpha Quadrant Tom made for a valuable hostage but Janeway had nothing to offer. She landed in the dockingbay and continued to try and discover Mirage's motives as the bay equalized.
* * Mirage's ship * *
Mirage stood outside the dockingbay with her phaser aimed at Tom and Evey. When the door clicked and flashed equalized Mirage opened the hatch and motioned with her phaser for them to enter. She followed.
Janeway was just exiting the shuttle as they approached. Kathryn checked Tom for injuries then moved her gaze to Mirage. "I'm here. What is it you want from me?"
Mirage didn't answer, she ruthlessly raised her gun and fired. Janeway flew back into the shuttle then slide to the floor. Tom cried out and dropped to her side pulling her into his arms. He looked up angrily at Mirage who was turning the knob on her phaser.
"You'll pay for this, Mirage," he growled before she shot him. He fell down next to Janeway but he was only stunned.
Mirage turned to Evey who had tears streaming down her cheeks, "Put him in the shuttle," Mirage ordered. "We're going for a ride."
The three boarded the Cochran and quickly took off into space. The lone figure left in the docking bay groaned and moved her head.
Kathryn Janeway was alive.
To be continued…
I'm really sorry it's taken me so long to get this up but I've been busy. I'll try to be quicker with the next part.
