[Engineering, Lower Decks] -- [Kirk and Enterprise]

Kirk couldn't even stand himself when he left the brig. He found himself walking, just walking in any direction, away from people, away from signs of any sort of life. He growled to himself and turned a corridor to make sure he kept away from anyone. The Captain had to be perfect. Couldn't show emotions like this.

Maybe a mother fucking Vulcan should just be in charge. Seemed awfully happy to tell Pike that!

So occupied with his thoughts was Kirk that when he focused on where he was, it took him a few seconds to realize he had gotten his way down to engineering. Good. He could be down here and no one would know.

He found himself a place that was out of the way and just tucked himself up against a wall, near a silent and unknown console, listening to the deep hum of the ship that was far louder down here. "...I've fucked up." He said to no one at all, closing his eyes. He slammed a fist into his knee, growling again.

The familiar short-long breaks of morse code made Kirk look up to the console closest to him. He slowly got up, like it took the greatest effort, and sat down in the chair. He listened in silence, then said quietly, "...I've completely fucked up." A mirthless laugh, and he pillowed his head on his folded arms.

"...I thought because the other Spock and Jim..." He stopped, and sighed. "Have you ever heard of intuition? Empathy?"

"Yea, you're right on that one." Kirk agreed, trying to think how to explain. "I usually listen to my intuition. My intuition told me that even though Spock and I didn't get along, we could run this ship and do it well. But you know what? I was wrong. He's lying to me, hiding things from me, and then somehow makes me feel guilty for punching him in the jaw."

"Passion??" Kirk's head jerked up, staring at nothing in particular. He snorted a little, shaking his head. "...Actually? I don't think we've had even one conversation where we didn't end up ticked off at one another. We just don't see eye to eye about anything! But my gut's telling me we could do something good together..."

A breath out, "The problem is that I'm wondering if the memories I got thanks to Spock, the old guy? If those memories aren't... tainting my mind. My intuition."

Kirk let out a slow breath, dropping his chin to his arms. The morse code came so easily that it sounded like human speech to his mind. She was his lady, his first love over all else, beautiful and respected and proud of and everything else.

"Well, the problem is that before I met the elder Spock, I fucking hated our Spock. Wanted to punch him as hard as I could in his perfect fucking face so he'd stop being so logical." Here he paused, then gave a small laugh, "Huh, and now that he IS being illogical, I want him to be normal. I mean... how am I supposed to ignore what's happened? He lied to me about Marlena on the ship, tried to hide her from me, lied about going down to see Pher in the first place, hid whatever he's taken from them... and puts himself in danger when he's down there." A tiny growl of frustration. "Shouldn't that be enough to doubt my intuition?"

[[OOC: do you think that this should be the conversation during which Enterprise begins to use Standard?]]

"I keep thinking I have all the facts, but then when I turn around? I find out I don't. If Spock's got an alternate plan, it isn't one that I understand. This... this is supposed to be something we stand together on. We're supposed to work together, to trust each other."

Kirk hesitated, putting his head down. "...maybe... he shouldn't..." He sighed, picking his head up, "We're almost to Risa, and then everyone's getting a week of shore leave. I'm saying no one's allowed to be on ship because everyone should be enjoying the planet. I'm going to have to deal with the Board back home via vidscreens with what happened with the Farragut. I'm... not looking forward to it. After the week of shore leave, if this is still going badly... I'll pull him from full duty."

"...He does want this to work, I think. At least, everything is suggesting he does. But then... his actions say otherwise."

With that last bit, Kirk sighed and nodded. "I'm hoping it'll be clearer after some time off, you know? A mental break. Relaxing time. ...I plan to get very, very drunk one night." Unconsciously, he was slowly running his hand over the panel, back and forth, with fingers as gentle as if he was touching a lover.

The Enterprise's voice had always come so clear to him that the sudden change didn't immediately take notice. "I don't mean to hurt you." Kirk said in a soft, caring sort of tone. "The older Spock, the one that's with the other me? He's supposed to talk to Spock. I'm hoping maybe... maybe that'll bring Spock around."

Kirk shifted so he was leaning farther back in the seat. "We'll make sure you're back up and running beautifully... and you'll be treated like the queen you are while in dry dock." His pride came through, almost a teasing too.

I do hope that Spock speaking with his alternate will help.

I will be well, so long as you take care of yourself.

[identity profile] kirktastic.livejournal.com 2009-08-08 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll be good, I promise." Kirk gave a small smile. "I just want this all to be over. I'm hoping they can work something out, that Spock knows something to help. He's got all those years of experience."

Then he hesitated and looked around, then peered to the console.

We are all, almost, painfully young and inexperienced.

"Hey, you're talking!" Kirk slowly grinned, sitting up in his chair. "Beautiful voice." Definitely a playful-tease in his voice that he'd give any lady. "For a beautiful ship."

"...yea, we are young. But we're learning together too, at least I hope like hell we are."

I have determined how to use my voice synthesisers for communications which are not preprogrammed, I find I am more inclined to evolve myself when speaking with one for whom I care deeply.

I don't think we could help but to learn from one another, for better or for worse.

"Means the world to me to hear you say that." And oddly, it did. The Enterprise was his home, practically his lover in every way that counted except for sex, and his pride and joy. "For better or worse." Kirk murmured, then smiled. "Just keep talking to me beautiful and we'll all get through this." A hesitation, then, "Thanks for listening."

"All around me." Kirk stood up and gently touched his palm to the console. "Gonna try and get some sleep." He hesitated, and then asked, "Where's Bones right now? Is he asleep?" It was pretty damn late, but he was curious. He'd rather fall asleep curled up against his friend then alone.

When did I end up getting so sentimental?

[OOC: what's with the rotating icons? And I love the decidedly fierce looking dark-skinned chick. XD And according to Bones-mun Bones is dead asleep in Jim's quarters.]

Leonard is currently sleeping in your quarters. [[I'm assuming you meant your room, not TOS!Jim, but I can edit, if I'm wrong.]]

Rest, you need it.

[[OOC: Seriously, you are too generous.*hugs*

The rotating ones are for when the Enterprise is trying to decide on what she wants to look like, all the static human ones are the girl she will be deciding on]]

"Goodnight, my lovely lady." Kirk smiled warmly and blew the console a kiss before making his way out of engineering up towards his own quarters.

He had a Bones to go curl up with.

James Tiberius Kirk meet Christopher Pike Prime.

Right now he's just chilling in the middle of the hallway wondering how in the universe he got here.

He recognizes Kirk despite the change in actors.

Beeeeeeeeep
