Disclaimer: Once again I only own Jamie Kirk...unfortuneately
I saw the ship, the reason why Jim and I don't have a father. Without thinking I clung to Spock ignoring everything. I just needed comfort. He just gripped my hand. They were firing torpedoes and I was almost bouncing around everywhere. Luckily, Spock was holding on to me. Then Spock said
"Captain the Romulans seemed to have lowered something into the Vulcan atmosphere, the signal seems to be blocking our communication transporter abilities." I wasn't scared for me anymore and I wasn't angry at Spock anymore. I was angry because these Romulans had already killed my father and now they are killing something that Spock, someone who I love so much it hurts, loves; they are killing his home planet. "Captain we're being hailed." Nyota said suddenly.
A Romulan with a lot of tattoos on his face came onto the screen.
"Hello." He said coldly. "I am Captain Christopher Pike, to whom am I speaking?" Pike asked when they guy didn't say anything. Then in a tone like it was a simple conversation the guy said, "Hi Christopher. I am Nero." I couldn't get over the fact that this man has caused so much loss and hate.
"You've declared war against the Federation withdraw and I'll agree to arrange a conference with Romulan leadership at a neutral location." Pike said, I didn't really care about the conversation after that, I know that it was important but I didn't want to even look at this man anymore. I did however pay attention when I heard Nero say, "Isn't that right Spock?". I was very confused now as was Spock. Spock walked up to see Nero better. I went with him.
"Pardon me, but I do not believe that you and I are acquainted." Spock said slowly. "We're not, not yet." Nero said. "Spock there is something I would like you to see, and your wife can see it too it involves both of you." Nero said and I looked wide-eyed. That was some interesting information.
Everyone looked at us, James and Pike seemed to not like this information. "Captain Pike your transporter has been disabled, as you can see by the rest of your armada, you have a choice. You will man a shuttle and come aboard the Narada, for negotiations." Nero said and then left the screen. We all looked at the Captain. Pike stood up. "He'll kill you, you know that." James and I said at the same time, mine more panicked and fearful then his. "Your survival is unlikely." Spock said actually agreeing with my brother. "Captain we gain nothing by this, going over to that ship is a mistake." Jim said.
"I agree, you should rethink your strategy." Spock said. "I understand." Pike said. "I need officers who are trained in hand to hand combat." Pike said. Jim, Sulu, Spock, Olsen and I all went. "Chekov, you have the Con." Pike said as we all started walking out the door.
We walked down the long hallway and many different levels until we finally reached the place where the shuttles were. "Mr. Kirk, Mr. Sulu and Engineer Olsen will space jump from the shuttle, you will land on that machine, disable it and then beam back up to the ship immediately. Mr. Spock. I am leaving you in command of the Enterprise. Once we have transport ability and communication is back up, contact Starfleet and report what the hell is going on here. And if all else fails, fall back and rendezvous with the fleet in the Laurencin system. Kirk. I'm promoting you to first officer." Pike said. "What?!" James asked shocked.
"Captain, please I apologize but the complexity of human pranks escape me." Spock said and I kind of had to agree with him on this one. "This isn't a prank Spock…and I'm not the captain…you are." Pike said. "Lets go." he motioned to the other three. "Captain what about me?" I asked Pike. "You are going to stay here and stay in your quarters and that is an order, one I'm sure Spock will make sure is done." Pike said and before I could protest he and the others were gone.
Spock and I were walking through the hallway until I pushed him into an elevator and closed the door so no one could see us. "Spock, you aren't going to make me do that are you, not while my brother is out there." I said practically crying. Spock looked torn. "I don't know what he meant about that wife thing by the way." I said. "It is too dangerous for you to be at the bridge at this time." Spock said and right when I was to start protesting he put his hand over my mouth. "You will not be going onto the bridge." He said, "that is an order Lieutenant." he added and that just pissed me off.
Spock made sure I had made it to my living quarters and then told me that if I didn't stay there he would be forced to keep a guard next to the door at all times. I admit that even though I was the calm, rational twin, I am still a Kirk. Just because I take orders better then my brother does doesn't mean that I will follow them all the time. Jim was my older brother, and when we were little he would always protect me and I'll die before I see him get hurt.
As soon as the coast was clear I made my way to right outside the bridge. I snuck in amazingly and then when I was sure Spock couldn't see me I listened to the conversation that was going on. "Olsen is gone, sir." Chekov said to Spock. Suddenly, I heard "Kirk has landed, sir." and I breathed a sigh of relief. I was scared and had to wait until James talked to the Enterprise. "The jamming signal is gone. Transport abilities are reestablished." I heard Nyota say, then I saw someone look at me and realized that I had to pretend to work. "Transporter control is reengaged sir." Chekov said and I smiled. Jim would make it out okay.
"Chekov run gravitational sensors I want to know what they are doing to the planet." Spock said and once again I felt worry. I hate feeling worried all the time. "Aye Command…Captain, sorry Captain." Chekov said and I had to laugh a little. Too bad Spock heard it and turned to look at me while Chekov was figuring out what is happening to the planet. "Lieutenant Kirk, I strictly remember ordering you to stay in your rooms." Spock said before James communicated with the Enterprise. "Kirk to Enterprise, they just launched something at that planet, to the hole they just drilled." James said and that got everyone going crazy. I went and stood by Spock.
"Captain, the gravitational sensors are off the scale, if my calculations are correct, they are creating a singularity," Chekov said as he turned around and spoke quietly, "that will consume the planet." He finished sadly.
I gasped in horror, they are creating a black hole…IN THE CENTER OF VULCAN! " They're creating a black hole in the center of Vulcan." Spock asked? Wow, can we read each other's minds or what? "Yes sir." Chekov confirmed quietly.
"How long does the planet have?" Spock asked quietly, I looked at him he may seem fine but I could tell by his eyes that he was scared, very, very scared. I wanted to cry for him. "Minutes sir, minutes." Chekov said looking defeated. Spock got up and looked at me before going to Nyota. "Alert Vulcan commander center to signal a planet wide evacuation." I tried to but in. "Spock wait." I said but he kept on talking. "All channels, all frequencies, maintain standard orbit." He command walking out quickly.
"Spock." I said following him. "Where are you going?" I asked. "To evacuate the Vulcan High Council, they are tasked with protecting our cultural history. My parents will be among them." Spock stated and I looked shocked. He was going to go down there. My brother is already down there, I don't need both of them down there. "Can't you beam them out?" I asked pleadingly. "It is impossible, they will be in the Catchergark. I must get them myself." He stated sadly and yet, logically.
"Chekov, you have the Con." He said loudly. "Aye." he replied. "Spock I am going with you." I said as I ran into the elevator. "You are not, you weren't even supposed to be on the bridge. You will not be going to Vulcan." He said in a stern voice. "Listen, my brother is down there, and you're going down there. I won't let either of you die down there." I said. I was so angry my eyes were starting to water. "Either way you will not be going down to Vulcan and that is an order." He said and at that moment I couldn't stand to even look at him. I felt like I hated him but I know that I truly didn't. I suddenly felt a big wave of fear and panic, I realized it came from Jim and I gasped.
I ran to the transporter room, where I heard Chekov yelling and smiled when I saw Jim and Sulu alright. I ran and hugged Jim. "Thank god, you're okay, I was so worried." I said hugging him hard, which he returned. Spock walked into the room briskly. "Clear the pad." he told us and while Jim and Sulu did I refused to move.
"I am beaming to the surface." He said harnessing his gun. "The surface of what?" Jim asked. Spock didn't answer. "What are you going down there?" Jim asked again. "Are you nuts?" Jim asked sarcastically of coarse. "Spock you can't do that." James said.
"Jamie get off of there." Jim said when he saw me. "No, I am going to help save the council whether either of you like it or not." I said glaring at Spock and then my brother. Spock quickly pushed me off gently. "Energize." He said quickly. "SPOCK!" Jim and I both yelled. Spock was already disappearing surrounded by lights.
I quickly ran to the computer Chekov was at. I wasn't waiting very patiently. "Spock to Enterprise, get us out now." he commanded. "Locking volume, don't move, stay where you are." Chekov said. "Transport in 5...4...3...2." And then something happened. I saw one of the people falling on the computer. Then I heard Spock yell, "MOTHER!", and I swear I felt my heart break for him. Spock always spoke highly of his mother.
The room started beeping. "I'm losing her, I'm losing her, I'm losing her," Chekov repeated, "Ah, I lost her." He said ashamed, I'm guessing it's because he lost her. Spock and the High Council appeared. Spock was holding his hand out, like when he was trying to grab on to her. He was breathing heavily and the expression on his face it was killing me.
This was going to kill him, he's going to blame himself, I know that he will. I'm guessing the Vulcan who looked at the same place Spock was, and since he looked so much like Spock, must be Sarek, Spock's father. I could tell that even though he told Spock that marrying his mother was logical, he was as torn up about this as Spock, he just hid it better. Jim, Sulu and I all looked at him.
We went back to the bridge and while the elders were getting looked at for injuries I was watching Vulcan. I was watching it be destroyed and I finally let all the tears I had been holding in out. I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder, and when I turned around I saw Spock. I felt horrible, if I hadn't insisted on going he would have gotten to them faster and his mother wouldn't be gone. I pulled away from him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you stay on this ship longer.
"I said quietly and I ran away before he could say anything. I ran until I made it back to my rooms. I locked it and went to the bathroom. I was crying so hard I was getting sick. I know that I shouldn't be this hurt, it wasn't my family, but it was Spock's. He told me all about them and he told me all about his mother. It seemed like I did know. My room door opened, and I saw Spock.
I ran to him and hugged him. "What do you need?" I asked meaning how to make him a little better. I kissed him and he kissed back. I realized he needed comfort and besides his mom I'm the only one who gave him comfort. "I need everyone to continue performing admirably." He said in a level voice. "That is not what I meant Spock, stop acting emotionless, around me that doesn't work and you know it. I can see it in your eyes how much you want to cry and yell and let your anger and hurt out. Don't try to hide that when you're alone with me. Because you know that I wont believe all the having no emotions crap." I said. "I know that Vulcan emotions are ten times more powerful then human emotions. Spock you are also human which means you can show the emotions that you are feeling." I said sadly at the end.
He looked at me but didn't say anything. "Please don't shut me out." I said. I knew all about the Vulcan emotions and everything because I studied the Vulcan culture when I started dating Spock. "If I let my emotions show, then I have to give up being Captain and it goes to your brother." he said quietly.
"You don't want to let anyone see you weak, especially your father." I guessed and he nodded. "Spock your father is just as torn up about this like you are, I could see it. He may have held his expression together but I could see it in the subtle movements his face made. He may hide it but I know that he loves your mother as much as my mother loved my dad. Spock your mom will always be with you in your heart, she will always be proud of you no matter what you do." I said quietly.
He nodded but I think he didn't believe that his father loved his mother. I kissed him to which he responded. I admit, I kind of forced him to show his emotions when we first started sating that's why he will actually kiss me back just as hard as I kiss him. I went and washed my face and then we left my rooms and went back to the bridge. James looked at us with suspicion, I didn't look at him. He was going to be angry when I tell him that I had been dating and he never knew.
I saw Spock's father looking at us and I looked back at him. I walked over to him while Spock was distracted. "Hello." I said quietly while he nodded. "You must be Spock's father?" I asked and once again he nodded. "Spock talks about you a lot, he is very proud of his family." I said and I saw something in his eyes.
"Are you proud of Spock?" I asked quietly. He just looked at me. "That is all he ever wanted growing up, he told me that numerous times, he wanted you to be proud of him. He knew his mother was, but he doesn't know if you ever were or ever will be." I said quietly. "By the way, I am very sorry for your loss, and it was nice meeting you." I said quietly and walked away.
Spock would kill me if he found out that I told his father what he told me a long time ago. Spock had started acting like Spock again and I frowned but didn't say anything.
