Do I Even Want To Know The Full Story?

100 drabbles mostly featuring Kirk with repeat appearances by Bones, Pike, Spock, and the rest of the Enterprise crew. Drabbles take place while at the Academy as well as after Nero's defeat. Short little tidbits that let your imagination run wild.

23. Rebirth

23.) Rebirth

By traveling to the past and creating an alternate reality, Nero had in essence caused the rebirth of a universe. With the destruction of the Kelvin, the Romulan had changed thousands of lives upon thousands of lives. He had also sealed his own fate.

While the James T. Kirk of his reality had been a Federation hero, he had the support of his father to help him reach that pedestal. The James T. Kirk that would defeat him and be called a hero had clawed and crawled his way to that pedestal on his own.

In a sense, the day James was born, he was reborn. Reborn into a new life that would test his limits and beyond them. His life was far harder than the life of the James T. Kirk Nero had known, but it also made him far stronger.
