Note: The Tom in this time period will be known as TT.
The Power of the Q- Ch. 4- Time Changes
I was walking down the corridors, and then as I turned the corner, I see TT walking with Harry next to him. I quickly jumped backwards, trying to hide. I turned in the opposite direction they were going, and decided that I would head for my quarters so I could meet up with TT.
I arrived at my door and noticed that TT was home.
"What the hell? Who are you?" TT said. He hit his combadge and asked for security, but no one answered. He looked at me.
"Listen, I'm you." I smiled trying to explain. "I've come from about one year in the future. I've been given Q powers by our best friend, Q." I said sarcastically.
"Yeah, sure, and I'm some alien species that no one knows about." TT stared at me, he was heading towards the doors. "I'm leaving, I'm gonna go get security." I let him pass, but he walked right into the door. "What the hell did you do?"
"See, Q powers. I would go from one place to another, but I'm busy, so let me just cut to the chase." I said. "Oh, and you are some alien species that no one knows about. The Tok'ra is their name." TT looked at me in disbelief. "I am Tok'ra, so what did you expect me to say? Listen, in about one year, you'll tell the crew that you're a Tok'ra. Harry will be really pissed at you, and won't want you to be his friend anymore. He says 'Just give me some space,' or something like that."
"I don't believe you. Harry would never say that." TT was coming up to me. "You know, if you don't let me go, I'll break your nose right here, right now." I just looked at him.
He came up and I put a hypospray to his throat. He fell to the ground immediately. I just looked at the unconscious body; I would have to move it. I grabbed TT by the feet and dragged him into the bathroom. I propped him in the sonic shower and locked the door.
That should keep him asleep for a couple days. I thought. Now to find Harry.
I asked the computer where Ensign Kim was, and it replied that he was in Holodeck 2, probably running Sandrines or something.
I left TT's quarters and headed for Holodeck 2. While I was walking along the corridors, I noticed that no one was walking about either. Maybe there's some special event going on or something. I stopped and waited for the turbolift. It felt like forever, but then the doors opened and there was Commander Chakotay.
I nodded at him and stood next to him, and then I called for my deck. The 'lift started and we were both quiet. It was that weird awkward, and long, silence. I would look at him for a second and then he would turn his head to look at me, and then I would look straight ahead, pretending like I never looked at him. It was very awkward. The turbolift stopped at my deck and I nodded my head goodbye to the Commander.
As soon as the turbolift doors closed and I didn't see Chakotay anymore, I breathed a sign of relief. No incident, that's a good sign. I walked into Holodeck 2, and low and behold Harry was still there.
Harry was at the bar and I walked up to him and said hello.
"Hey, you were supposed to meet me here twenty minutes ago! What happened?" Harry asked.
"Want me to tell you?" I asked, and Harry nodded. "Alright, but we need to go to somewhere secluded."
"Don't tell me you actually went that far with one of the Delaney twins!" Harry smiled; he was half-joking, half-serious.
"No, here, follow me." I walked over to the scarcely lit corner. No one was there, except us. We both sat down, and as soon as we were both fine where we sat I said in a hushed voice, "Don't tell anyone about what I am about to tell you, got it?"
"Sure, you know I wouldn't tell." Harry answered, the smile gone from his face. He was concerned; it showed in his voice and on his face.
"Yeah, I know," I answered. "just making sure. Okay…" I told him about the Tok'ra, the Goa'uld, the Asgard, Tameth, Jack, and me being a Tok'ra.
When I was finished, I saw that his jaw was on the floor. He closed his mouth, opened it, and then closed it again. "Well," I asked. "are you angry at me for not telling you sooner?"
Harry stared at me in disbelief. "No, I'm glad you told me. It's not like I'm gonna freak out and say, 'Leave me alone, I need some time' or something. I would only freak out if we had know each other longer, like a couple years, then I might freak out."
I smiled and so did Harry.
"So, does Janeway know?" Harry asked.
"No, only you. And you won't tell anyone else." I pointed a finger at him. "You said you wouldn't, so keep your word."
"I know, I'm just wondering. Hey, can I meet Jack or Tameth? I wanna-"
"NO! Later on you can meet Jack, but Tameth is defiantly not to be messed with. I have to go, I'm tired. Later Harry." I got up and walked out of the Holodeck.
As I was walking towards the turbolift, I realized something. Since I told Harry, B'Elanna wouldn't have felt bad for me and kissed me. Which means that I would get no kiss. Maybe I should go back to where I was just about to tell Harry, and I don't!
"Not so fast, Tommyboy." Q appeared next to me. "You have to tell Janeway about what you thought of your life with Q powers. Now, I will do the honors." Q snapped his fingers, and we were both standing in the once-briefing-room-now-trial room, Janeway was standing in front of us.
