Charlee POV
"This doesn't make any sense, Data! Her vocal cords are in perfect shape!" I heard the doctor say from the other room. At her rant I bowed my head in shame and hoped that the big guard beside me either couldn't hear them or didn't care enough to ask me any questions. He saw how I bowed my head and he apparently didn't approve because he growled low in his throat before he spoke.
"Don't worry over what the doctor says. There's a blind man named Geordi that she hasn't been able to 'fix' either. He turned his weakness into a strength that the entire ship relies on and is now the Chief Engineer." He said once I looked up at him from the bed. When his words started to sink in I couldn't help but to nod and smile.
'Lieutenant Worf to the Captain's Ready Room.'
"I'm on my way.' He replied. As he began to move away from me I grabbed his arm before I could stop myself.
"It's alright. I need to go and speak to my captain and then I will be right back. I promise that I won't let anyone hurt you." I slowly released his arm and looked at the the floor as I nodded my head in agreement. Before he left he placed his hand on the top of my head and gave it a little pat. My head immediately shot up and I playfully glared at him before I smiled to show that there were no hard feelings.
