Jim's eyes fluttered open as a strange noise of an old opening metal door woke him up. Opening his eyes he watched as two guards threw a battered Bones into the cell, locking the door behind him. Jim looked at the beaten doctor. His face bruised, his once dark blue star fleet top tore with what Jim instantly knew where whip target marks. Through the gaps and torn Starfleet undertop Jim saw blood trickling through.

"Bones"

His voice sounded like a child screaming through a disco night and trying to talk a couple hours later. Jim tried to sit up but groaned in pain as it washed through his leg and back. Instantly Bones was at his side.

"Don't move idiot. You're still injured"

Bones checked Jim up and down, more blood was seeping through his leg but he was unable to treat it. Turning to Jim he saw the kid's eyes scanning him and logging each wound.

"Bones are you okay"

Jim stared at Bones, his older brother figure. One he wished he had more when he was a kid after Sam walked out. Jim used his left arm to lift up and reach out for Bones. He needed to know he was okay. He couldn't lt him take any more beatings for his past.

"I'm fine"

Bones stared at Jim before looking over his wounds again.

"They only threw a few punches"

Bones looked back to Jim.

"Why didn't you tell me Jim?"

Jim looked at Bones, he never wanted the topic of Tarsus IV to come up like this. He never even wanted it to come up. Kodos was supposed to be dead. He was supposed to have died in the fires, yet Jim knew somehow that he had not. The body was unidentifiable yet he knew that wouldn't be Kodos. His gut feeling told him.

"Jim."

Bones voice was stern with him washing Jim out of his memories. Looking up Jim stared at Bones.

"I don't know what you are on about"

Bones growled under his breath, frustration radiating out on his face.

"You know exactly what I mean. Jim."

Jim looked at Bones hurt. Memories upon memories washed passed in front of him. The man who killed the children Jim cared for, the children he was supposed to have protected. Each time he tied to open his mouth to speak he couldn't get the words out. He stared into the eyes of Bones as tears rolled down his face. Screams, yells and phaser fire filled the air around him. Jim instantly curled in on himself ignoring what was going on. He couldn't hear it, he didn't want to hear it. The sound of it all going on made him feel sick. The metal door opened up screeching with the rusty door hinges. Jim instantly shot up yelling in agony. There stood Kodos in front of him with two guards. Instantly Jim was racing at Kodos, Bones too slow to grab him. Jim jumped at the man shoving him to the floor. Before he could react he grabbed the phasers off of one guard then shot them both before they could move. Staring at Kodos Jim put one foot on the mans chest. Jim aimed the phaser at the man staring at him and fired on stun. Turning around Jim aimed at Bones who put his hands up.

"Hold on Kid… Put the phaser down Jim"

Jim stared at Bones, wild in his eyes. Like an alpha battling to take down the other alphas. He pointed the phaser at Bones chest putting his finger on the trigger.

"Jim wait. It's me Bones. From Starfleet. Come on Jim we're best friends, you're my captain"

Bones stared at Jim unsure whether he was watching his friend having a mental breakdown, or watching something overcome Jim. Walking slightly forwards, towards Jim, Bones jolted back as a Phaser fire whizzed past him on a purpose miss.

"One more step and I shoot"

Jim walked towards Bones then stopped just out of reach.

"You're one of them aren't you"

Bones stared at his friend in disbelief.

"One of who kid? For Christ sakes kid I'm your friend!"

Bones stood his ground. Whispering under his breath.

"Where's that green blooded hobgoblin when you need him"

"What was that traitor?"

Bones looked up to Jim. His friend… His captain called him a traitor, after swapping places so he didn't see his friend getting hurt anymore and he was the one called a traitor.

"Now you listen clearly kid. I ain't no traitor. I'm a good old fashioned country doctor that you seemed to cling too. You dare tell me I'm a traitor and I'll hypospray your arse back to the enterprise"

Jim glared and reaimed his phaser. Finger on the trigger.

BANG.

Bones stared at Jim whose eyes stared back. He mentally checked himself over, feeling nothing. Then he looked to Jim, red slowly filling the gold top he worse on his right chest.

"Jim!"

Bones ran towards his friend who dropped the phaser and fell forwards. Before the kid hit the ground, Bones caught him in his arms and lowered him down. He looked up to see Kodos holding an old fashioned weapon with his guards by his side.

"I wish I never had to hurt the kid. But now you both must die"

Kodos's face was red with fury. He walked forwards aiming at Bones.

As Kodos's finger went for the old guns trigger, phaser fire filled the air. Bones watched as Kodos and his men dropped to the floor. Behind them was Spock.

"Well just about time you green blooded hobgoblin, now help me get him out of here"

Spock's eyebrow raised, and when he saw the vast amount of red on Jim's gold Starfleet top, he raced to McCoy's side.

Pulling out his communicator, Spock contacted enterprise.

"Spock to enterprise, we have McCoy, the captain and three prisoners. Beam us aboard now. Have nurse Chapel and a hoverstretcher standing by"

Bones looked to Spock in shock and nodded. He always knew that whenever one of the trio were hurt, the others would seek to get it dealt with instantly.

"Spock… I need you to carry him. He can't stand and i… I can't"

Spock stared at McCoy as the familiar light of the transporter beam surrounded them. Within seconds of the strange feeling, they were on the Enterprise. Spock lifted the limp captains body as Chapel raced into the transporter room with two medical students and a hoverstretcher. Lowering Jim onto the stretcher, chapel and the team raced to get Jim to medbay.

Spock turned around once he noticed that within ten point seven seconds, McCoy wasn't with Jim nor had he moved from the transporter pad. Turning to McCoy, Spock cleared his throat drawing the doctors attention.

"Doctor McCoy, are you alright? It is very unlike you to not be by the captains side"

McCoy stood looking at Spock, hurt by his true but painful words.

"I just… Spock…"

Spock nodded and walked to the Doctor. He put a hand on his shoulder.

"The captain has the best CMO that Starfleet can offer, he has you as a friend. Someone along with a whole crew who would put their lives in front of the captain. May I inquire into your hesitation?"

Doctor McCoy looked to Spock. How was he to tell him he had a broken wrist, other injuries as well as knowing the fact his friend was a part of the massacre? Bones turned to look at Kodos and his men but instantly found them gone.

"Kodos… Where-"

"He is in the brig Doctor"

McCoy turned to Spock staring at him.

"You knew?"

"Doctor, after some research into a very strange disappearance of you and the captain. I looked into what may have caused the disappearance. That was when I and Mr Chekov had found you both were sent encrypted messages to meet at Starfleet. When we traced it, it came to a very strange assumption. I could not understand at first, as there was no person at the other end. Until when we found your communicator in an alley. I was approached by a lieutenant Riley who told me that a man by the name of Kodos was behind the disappearance. He was trying to follow our captain to send him a warning message he heard from one of the other Tarsus IV survivors that Kodos was after the man by the name JT."

Spock looked to McCoy who had a shocked face.

"What I mean to say Doctor, is after some valid and logical data. I came to the conclusion that our very own captain, James. T. Kirk, is in fact JT, a survivor from Tarsus IV. Though none of the other members of Starfleet are aware except for me, you, lieutenant and our captain himself. The one problem in which we now possess. Is if Kodos releases the identity of JT as our very own captain."

Bones stared at Spock. If Kodos released that information, then Jim could lose his rank of captain. How had he even passed his Psyches. Then again it was Jim, he was notorious for getting out of things. Jim.

"We had best get to sickbay and help our captain then Mr Spock"

Nodded to Doctor McCoy, they both made their way out of the empty room. It was only then when McCoy realised Spock had cleared the room in which they could then have the conversation they had just had.
