If there was ever a rule that Jim Kirk fought to live by, it was that there was no such thing as a no win scenario. It was his motto, the reason for his success as a captain. But as of now, Jim was having a hard time finding a way out of their current situation. For reasons he wasn't sure of (but he had a hunch it somehow pertained to his alternate life), he along with his senior officers were being held captive by a being calling himself Trelane. Although he looked like a man, Jim would say he acted more like a spoiled child with too much power.
"Come now, no need to be so dower my dear captain! Sit and enjoy yourself," Trelane exclaimed as he indicated to the grand table set up before them. It, along with several other things, had suddenly appeared around the room in the blink of an eye. Jim had thought for a second that perhaps Trelane was a wizard of some kind and had glanced at Harry for confirmation. But the young doctor just shook his head conveying that it wasn't magic at work. So this had Jim on edge; he was facing a powerful opponent at the moment and the lives of his crew were at stake if he didn't play his cards right.
"What's the point of this?" he questioned waving at the table that was filled with food and wine. Trelane smiled replying, "To make you comfortable Kirk! Now sit! All of you sit and relax! We have plenty of time to enjoy ourselves!"
Jim frowned deeply before turning to his crew and nodded his head slowly watching as they reluctantly settled themselves. Trelane beamed as he watched them, "It's so lovely to see all of you again although you're much younger than your other counterparts! This was rather unexpected but not unwelcomed!"
"What in the blue blazes are you talking about?" McCoy growled.
"Oh don't worry yourself with the details Dr. McCoy! Drink and be merry!"
"So I take it you know who we are," Sulu commented.
"But of course! Lt. Hikaru Sulu, Ensign Pavel Chekov, the lovely Lt. Nyota Uhura, Lt. Commander Montgomery Scott, Dr. Leonard McCoy, Commander Spock, Captain James Tiberius Kirk and… well now this is strange. I feel rather silly to have just noticed you here, I'm afraid I didn't meet you in the other universe," Trelane blinked staring at Harry and Teddy. Holding his son close, Harry gazed at Trelane with a neutral stare, "I am Dr. Hadrian Black and this is my son Teddy."
"Oh wonderful! How wonderful indeed!" Trelane chirped eyeing them with keen interest. Focusing on Teddy he questioned, "Do you like games Teddy?"
"Yeah I guess," the young boy replied hesitantly not liking the feeling this man was giving off. He shifted closer to his father he merely stroked his hair hoping to sooth him. Trelane beamed and clapped his hands cheerfully, "Oh good! I so do enjoy games too! We should play together!"
"No," Harry interrupted.
"No?" Trelane echoed blinking in confusion, as if he didn't understand the word. Harry nodded, "No, Teddy will not play with you. None of us will play with you, we are the crew of the Enterprise and we have urgent business to attend to at this moment. So kindly return us to our ship so that we may be on our way."
"You know, I don't like your tone Dr. Black," Trelane stated focusing his full attention on the wizard, "I think you should be taught some manners."
"I have manners, but I refuse to use them in the presence of one who does not return the gesture," Harry growled. Trelane frowned, "You know, beyond this little sanctuary I've created is a planet that no humanoid species can survive on. Perhaps if I show you the reality that lingers outside my influence, you'll see that you have no choice but to obey me."
"No!" Jim shouted rising to his feet, "Don't you dare even try Trelane!"
"I can and I will because I don't like him!"
"I don't give a shit! You will not harm any of my crew or so help me I'll make you regret it!" Jim snarled glaring darkly.
"Still the same Kirk, perhaps a little crude but still just the same," Trelane chuckled deeply amused, "Very well, if you insist on rebelling then I have no choice." He suddenly snapped his fingers and Jim disappeared sending the crew into an uproar as they stood. McCoy raged, "What the hell did you do with Jim?"
"Do not trouble yourself Dr. McCoy, the Captain is fine… well mostly."
And just as quickly as he disappeared, Jim reappeared falling to his knees as he coughed and gagged. The crew rushed to surround him although Spock, Harry and Teddy pressed the closest. Placing his hand on Jim's back, Harry allowed the faintest trickle of magic to flow into his lover hoping to sooth any pain he had. Gently he questioned, "Are you alright Jim?"
Jim didn't speak but he did nod as he continued to cough although it was becoming less harsh as the seconds ticked by. With some help, the blond managed to get onto his feet and he glared darkly at Trelane, his blue eyes bright with his anger. Trelane smiled, "Now now Captain, no need to be so upset. But now perhaps you realize the severity of your situation. Even if you somehow managed to leave this building, there's only so much space to hide in my garden before you find yourselves at the boundary between heaven and hell."
"Bastard!" Sulu spat.
"Don't make me repeat myself. I can make your stay here enjoyable and pleasant or I can make it unbearable. Which would you rather have?" The crew remained tense and silent as the true severity of their situation began to dawn on them. They were trapped with no way out and no hope of rescue.
