Jasmine sat by her window looking out, the stars were rushing by them like streamers, a sign of them being in warp. Her room was thrashed, Starfleet was going to have a field day but she didn't care, hell they probably weren't going to survive this anyway. Seeing how that shipped worked and what its capabilities were, all of Starfleet was hopeless.

She was trying to rack her brain for any other way to take them down. They had to go for the ship but when they couldn't detect them. Jasmine ran her hand through her hair. It was falling in waves around her body. She never had it down much only in private mostly; she didn't want it to be a distraction for her job.

A job apparently gone now; Spock's face and words flashed through her mind. She was trying to stay mad at him, tried to ignore the understanding in his actions about Jim but being who she was, she couldn't help but see the reasoning in his actions. No she wasn't completely mad anymore hence why she had stopped her 'redecorating'. She just wanted Jim back and everything to be ok.

Jasmine was about to close her eyes when the com clicked on in her room.

"Jas?" Marie's voice echoed around her.

"Hey what's happening out there?"

"Jims on board."

Jasmine straightened in confusion. "What?"

"He and some guy just beamed onto the ship somehow. Security is bringing them to the bridge now."

Standing up Jasmine looked for her shirt and pulled her boots on. "Marie, enter in viper572alpha6 into my room, it will override the locks."

"Oh...wait why didn't we do that before?"

Jasmine smirked, "Wasn't the right time." She heard Marie grunt before a ring sounded and her door opened. Then she ran her hair whipping behind her. The only thing she was thinking was getting to the bridge.

When Jasmine stepped onto the bridge she saw security pushing Jim and the guy toward Spock. Quickly she made her way to her brother. "Jim!" Jim's eyes flickered to Jasmine as she ran up to him and hugged him. His arms wrapped tightly around her a feeling of completeness warmed inside of him. As much as they fought and teased, they were twins and they were connected greater than anything in the universe.

"I'm sorry. I tried to stop them but."

"Hey it's okay." Jim pulled her back and kissed her forehead. "I'm here now."

"Indeed you are," Spock's voice pulled the siblings away from their reunion.

"And who are you?" He spoke to the man beside Jim.

"I'm with him."

"He's with me."

Jasmine could see the annoyance in Spocks face, something only Jim seemed to be able to do to him.

"We're travelling at warp speed, how did you manage to beam aboard this ship?"

"Eh, you're the genius, you figure it out." Jim replied lazily.

Marie who had made her way closer just rolled her eyes, he just got onboard and already he's being stupid.

"As acting captain of this vessel, I am ordering you to answer the question."

"Well I'm not telling, acting captain." Jasmine could see the amusement in Jim's eyes, like some secret game was being played. "What, what now that doesn't frustrate you? My lack of compliance. That, that doesn't make you angry?"

A frown appeared on Jasmine's face, what was Jim getting at; it was like he wanted Spock to loose control. In her experience it was not wise to push Spock into that side of him, true she had done it a few times herself but that was always in a teasing manner in which they would end up in the bedroom.

"Are you an acting member of Starfleet."

The man looked a little put off for being put on the spot, "Um, I am yes. Can I have a towel?" He was a Scot, how cute, Marie smiled as she figured out his accent.

"Under penalty of court marshal, I order you to explain to me how you beamed aboard this ship while moving at warp."

"Well."

"Don't answer him, "Jim interrupted.

Spock stepped closer to the man, "You will answer me."

If this wasn't such a dramatic moment Jasmine would have grabbed Spock and pulled him into a private area. She couldn't help it, his dominate state was a big weakness for her.

"I'd rather not take sides," the man stepped back lightly.

Jim stepped up to Spock putting a distance between him and the man.

"What is it with you Spock? Your planet was destroyed, your mother murdered and you're not even upset."

It felt like the whole bridge was in shock by the direct words Jim spoke. No one had ever thought to speak to Spock that way.

"If you are presuming that these experiences in any way impede my ability to command this ship, you're mistaken." Spock spoke swiftly and direct.

Jim was really starting to push Spocks buttons; Jasmine stood close curious to see how far Jim was going to take this. "And yet you were the one who said fear was necessary for command." Jim seemed to get even closer to Spock, but Spock would not stand down. "Did you see his ship, did you see what he did?"

Marie frowned in confusion, she didn't understand why Jim would be saying such cruel things, and why Jasmine was just letting him.

"Yes of course I did."

"So are you afraid or aren't you?"

Spock's voice rose even louder in his next moments, "I will not allow you to lecture me about the merit of emotion."

"Then why don't you stop me," Jim's voice matching his.

Jasmine stepped up to him then, "Jim come on."

"No, back off Jas." The tone in her brother's voice caused Jasmine to freeze. He never spoke to her like that and yet she knew exactly why he did. Call it a twin thing, but she stepped back her eyes flicked to Spock.

He was looking at her before turning his attention back to Jim. "Step away from me Mr. Kirk."

"What is it like not to feel? Anger or heartbreak, or the need to stop at nothing to avenge the death of the woman who gave birth to you."

"Back away from me." The walls of control were falling away, it was clear on Spocks face.

"You feel nothing. It must not even compute. You never loved her."

The yell that came from Spock's throat seemed to echo in the room. Spock moved so quickly one could barely register what happened. Marie's hand flew to her mouth as she watched Spock quickly punch Jim. Jim was trying to dodge and swing but Spock was a skilled fighter.

He blocked Jim's attempt to hit him and shoved him back. The scene was like a nightmare for Jasmine. She couldn't step in, couldn't protect Jim or Spock. It had to be done and it was killing her. Spock got Jim in the throat before pushing him hard into the consol and started choking him.

Marie's eyes widened and she stepped closer to Jasmine, "We've got to do something. He's going to kill him."

Jasmine didn't look at her as she replied, "No. We can't."

Marie looked at her friend in complete lose before her eyes went back to Spock and Jim.

A voice rang out through the room pulling everyone away from what was happening. "Spock!" The voice seemed to knock the anger out of Spock, his hand loosening up before he pulled away.

Jim started to cough violently, Marie didn't wait to walk up to him and help. Jim smiled lightly at her as a thank you.

Spock glanced around, his eyes landing on his father then on Jasmine. "Doctor, I am no longer fit for duty. I hereby relinquish my command based on the fact that I have been emotionally compromised. Please note the time and date in the ships log."

Slowly he made his way toward the elevator; Jasmine stepped toward him. He paused for a moment his eyes expressing everything in that moment. Jasmine reached out barely grazing his arm before he started toward the doors.

Once they closed she turned and made her way to Jim. "You okay?" He nodded reaching up and rubbing her cheek.

"I like this ship. You know it's exciting." The Scottish man's words seemed to break the tension in the room.

"Well congratulations Jim. Now we have no captain and no goddamn first officer to replace him." Bones stepped up annoyed.

"Yeah we do." Jim straightened himself and headed for the captains chair.

"What?" Jasmine and Marie both spoke.

"Pike made him first officer," Sulu spoke up.

"You've got to be kidding me." Bones replied.

"Thanks for the support."

Jasmine couldn't help but be proud of her brother. She walked up behind him and placed her hands on his shoulders, "I hope you know what you're doing Captain."

Jim reached up and squeezed her hand, "So do I." His eyes travelled to Marie who smiled at him as she walked to her station.

"Let's go get those bastards."
