Even the mind meld... until I found out he didn't just block Spock from his mind, he attacked back. And now, this thing with your Spock..."

"You've met that other Spock. The one from his world." Kirk looked to Jim, searching for his eyes. "What does your intuition tell you? Would he come here, or work with us, or whatever needed to be done, to get Pike back and leave us alone? Or would he come here and either help or let Pike get revenge in some form or another? If we give the other side help... they have access to us. To beam to us, to beam one of us out possibly."
