Chapter Three: Revenge
Sadie was with Leo, as her ships doctor he was checking her over, "Honey you got real lucky, you were barely hit by that phaser. God I was so scared."
Sadie smiled pulling Leo into a gentle kiss, "I was scared to, and I never would have thought John would have defected like that." She was proud of herself for calling Khan by his fake name; she couldn't clue anyone into the truth for fear of safety.
"Wait," Leo pulled away frowning, "that's the guy from when we were broke up isn't it?"
Sadie nodded, thinking back to that time.
~Nine Months Ago~
"Khan I have a file for you to look over," Sadie said looking at the man across from her. She slid the PADD over to him across the table, "Admiral Marcus has created a persona for you, you will go by the name of John Harrison, and you are a Commander here in Starfleet."
Khan grinned, "So much trouble, don't you agree Maria?"
Sadie sighed, "Khan for the last time I am not Maria, I am not your wife. My name is Sadie Georgina Kirk, I was born May 31st, 2226."
Khan reached out taking Sadie's hand into his own, "Sadie, you are my beloved Maria reborn again. You look just like her, you are as fiery as she was, and the only difference is you put up with far less than she did. Where she was submissive you are dominant, I must say I enjoy it much more."
Sadie pulled back in shock, "Khan please doesn't."
"Yes, you are still recovering from your break up, three months ago you found me." Khan pointed out, "Give me one night and I will make you mine."
"You won't stop until you have that night will you?" Sadie asked.
Khan nodded, "Correct."
Sadie sighed, "Fine one night, that's all you get to prove why I should try anything with you."
The one night ended with Sadie and Khan in bed together, and their relationship lasted nearly six months, until one day Sadie couldn't take it anymore. That and Leo came to London in tears, they were both a mess but they would work on it.
~Present~
"Sadie?"
Sadie shook her head looking at Leo, "Sorry babe, I got lost in a train of thought."
Leo nodded kissing her forehead, "It's okay, with everything going on its going to happen. We should probably get moving though we've got stuff to do.
Sadie looked at Leo, "I'm going to find him and kill him."
Leo frowned, "Darling don't say that, words like that can get you into trouble."
"I don't care," Sadie said and she meant it, "John killed Chris, he killed friends of mine over at the archive. I would of let him live but he killed Chris Leo, he killed the only father I had left."
Sadie began crying and Leo quickly took her into his arms, "Shh its okay honey, I've got you." He knew her worries; Harrison was going after innocents, whatever he wanted whoever was in the way he didn't care as long as he got to the end point. "I promise you the ones you love will be safe, we're all going to be okay."
Sadie nodded sniffling, "Thank you Leo, I love you so much."
Leo smiled hugging her tighter, "I love you too." It was the first time since Nero that they had said those words.
Sadie pulled away, "Leo something tells me John went somewhere we can't go, it would make sense, run to where the Federation can't go after him."
Leo nodded, "I know but there's not much we can do. Everything is a mess right now; a lot of people are dead. All we can do is wait, come on lets go to bed."
Sadie nodded her body now tired, as she was mentally and emotionally exhausted. She followed him into the bedroom allowing him to help her undress before sliding under the sheets quickly falling asleep once Leo climbed into bed behind her wrapping his arms around her.
~The Next Day~
Sadie woke up to her PADD going off; Marcus wanted her in his office as soon as possible. She looked around and Leo was already out of bed cooking breakfast by the smells. Sadie got out of bed and began getting ready for the day, she dressed in her casual uniform and heading into the kitchen, "Hey honey I have to go and see Marcus, he's wanting me right away."
Leo turned around and Sadie couldn't help but look her boyfriend over, shirtless and cooking made that Southern gentleman look extra good. He shook his head, "Damn man can't leave us alone for one day I'm nowhere near done with food."
Sadie went up and kissed him, "I'll be back as soon as possible, I'll eat when I'm back I promise."
Leo smiled against her lips, "Good as your doctor I demand it."
Sadie laughed, "Yes Doctor McCoy, whatever you say. I'll be back soon."
She then turned and headed out of their apartment, it didn't take her to long to get to headquarters where she quickly found Marcus. He took her into an empty room shutting the door, "I'm reinstating your brother as the Captain of the Enterprise. Khan is on Kronos, I want that man dead do you understand?"
Sadie nodded, "Yes sir I do, I want him dead too."
Marcus nodded, "Good do everything in your power to make sure that happens, whatever you do don't let the crew talk to him, if they find out the truth, well that won't be good for you will it?"
Sadie swallowed hard, "Yes sir I understand."
Marcus smiled, "Good girl, dismissed."
Sadie turned and stalked out of the room, she was fuming. Marcus was the lowest of the low, he was a fucking bastard. If she didn't like Carol, her life and her job so much she might just make an attempt on his life. Before she could exit the building she got another notification on her PADD about the crew needing to gather their things as they had a mission. She snorted, Marcus wasn't having any time wasted on covering his ass, when all this was over maybe she could take him down, just needed the right plans to do so…
~Twenty Minutes Later~
Sadie hurried onto the shuttle seeing Leo pull out things to examine Jim, she snorted going to sit by him, "Let me guess he refused his exam."
Leo grinned at her, "Not everyone can be as good of a patient as you darling."
Sadie grinned as Jim made a disgusted face, "That's disgusting, I'm happy you two are back together and Leo isn't on my couch anymore, but seriously I don't want to hear innuendos between you two."
Spock then began talking again, "As I am again your First Officer, it is now my duty to strongly object to our mission parameters."
Jim rolled his eyes, "Of course it is."
"There is no Starfleet regulation that condemns a man to die without a trial," however Spock kept going, "something you
and Admiral Marcus are forgetting. Also, preemptively firing torpedoes at the Klingon homeworld goes against..."
Jim cut him off, "You yourself said the area's uninhabited. There's only gonna be one casualty. And in case you weren't listening, our orders have nothing to do with Starfleet regulation."
"Wait a minute. We're firing torpedoes at the Klingons?" Leo said.
Sadie froze, "Jim how many torpedoes?"
Jim shrugged, "72 I think."
Sadie's eyes went wide, holy shit, Khan hid them inside the torpedoes he made, those torpedoes were really chambers for his crew.
"Regulations aside, this action is morally wrong," Spock pointed out.
"Regulations aside, pulling your ass out of a volcano was morally right. And I didn't win any points for that."
"Whoa, Jim, calm down," Leo warned as Jim's levels began to rise.
"I'm not gonna take ethics lessons from a robot!"
"Reverting to name-calling suggests that you are defensive and therefore find my opinion valid."
"I wasn't asking for your opinion. Bones, get that thing off my face."
"Captain, our mission could start a war with the Klingons and it is, by its very definition, immoral. Perhaps you should take the requisite time to arrive at this conclusion for yourself."
Just then Carol showed up making Sadie raise an eyebrow, "Captain Kirk. Science Officer Wallace. I've been assigned
to the Enterprise by Admiral Marcus. These are my transfer orders."
Spock seemed offended, "You requested an additional science officer, Captain?"
"I wish I had," Jim said before beginning to read Carol's orders. Sadie shook her head; this girl did not get permission from her father. If Marcus knew she was here well they wouldn't be going anywhere, " 'Lieutenant Carol Wallace.' 'Doctorate in applied physics' 'specializing in advanced weaponry.' Impressive credentials."
"Thank you," Carol smiled.
"But redundant now that I am back aboard the Enterprise," Spock said slightly jealous of Jim and this woman.
"And yet, the more the merrier," Jim grinned at his best friend. "Have a seat, Doctor."
"Thank you," Carol smiled sitting down then looking at Sadie with pleading eyes to keep quiet about this. Sadie grinned and nodded, they would talk later.
"Shuttle crew, stand by for liftoff," the pilot said.
Sadie sat back, nervous for this journey.
A/N:
Wow! Two chapters in one day, well kinda, I feel good! Then again I'm not tired it's currently 12:13 a.m. on 9/1/16. My husband is sick so I've been taking care of him, I may start on Chapter 4 but I'm not sure yet.
Okay so if you didn't notice I just up'ed the rating to 'M', which is for cussing only I don't I'll get into much more than that. I hope I'm doing good, with the flashback I hope I made Khan seem like Khan, in the movie they didn't explore him like they could of.
So I've been trying to keep the chapters to 9-11 pages so I can attempt to drag this out a bit longer. Also you may see more flashbacks so I can get the whole story in, if unable to do it though I will be doing side stories I have decided it, you'll see a bit of EVERYTHING I didn't get into my main stories so I'm very excited about that.
As always please let me know what you think, I mean it please guys give me something more than "That was good" it would make me very happy.
Alright I'll let you all go for now!
Love,
Savannah
