[Captain's in Office] -- [Open to All]

[kirktastic]

(OOC: Note! This is an open post for anyone who needs Kirk in any way, shape, or form right now, so just drop on by even though its starting off with Kirk and Spock!!)

After the night with Bones, to say James T. Kirk felt like shit was an understatement. He felt hurt, and angry, and confused, and all over the place all at once. It made for... well, not the greatest beginning for an alpha shift on the bridge.

He was slumped in his office. Sleep hadn't come easy, and he hadn't stayed that way much at all. This morning had even required coffee. Shit, he hadn't been forced to drink coffee to stay awake in months.

And now he had a meeting with Spock. Great. He was pretty sure there was something else ... someone else... he had a meeting about today too but couldn't force himself to remember yet.

Em rolled her eyes. "He's not going to shoot you. At least, I don't think they allow that sort of thing in Starfleet. Not too sure." She squeezed his hand and led him through the corridors until they reached the office. She pushed at the buzzer.

"Captain Kirk? It's Emma McCoy with the displaced person in question."

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

Why does she keep saying 'displaced person' and not a name? That worried the hell out of him.

"Enter." Kirk called out, looking to Emma with a nod and studying the man who entered with her.

...Why did he look oddly familiar?

[emma-mccoy.livejournal.com]

She kept herself from beaming. "Captain Kirk, I'd like you to meet Dr. David McCoy." Em squeezed his hand just to remind herself that he was really there with her.

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

...Well. Well. That fucking explained that oddly familiar thing.

Kirk stood up slowly, studying David McCoy closely. Hell, Bones did look just like the two of them mixed together. ....Oh. Fuck.

Bones.

Bones wasn't going to take this well at all. This was the guy who had seriously fucked up Bones' life. Fuck.

"...Doctor." He offered out his hand.

[dammit-emmy.livejournal.com]

Well, he hadn't shot at him yet or anything, which was a decidedly good thing, so this was the captain. The youngest Kirk a captain. Well, it did run in his blood and all, only logical. Still, David couldn't resist his eyebrow arching as he took his hand.

"Captain Kirk, pleasure to meet you."

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

The eyebrow did it. Those eyebrows of Bones? CLEARLY from his father. It was hard to keep from laughing, "I don't even have to guess how you relate into all this..." He gestured to the two chairs in front of his desk, "So have a seat and tell me the basics. How did you end up on my ship?"

[dammit-emmy.livejournal.com]

"Feel free to guess if you really want, I ain't gonna stop you." David let Emma sit first before taking his own seat, leaning back a little.

"That's not really a basic sort of thing, Captain, considerin' last I knew I was supposed to be dyin' and then I, for lack of a better word, poofed into existence in my formerly dead wife's bed. Not entirely sure what happened in the apparent three years between the two or the distance between the two."

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

"Three years?" Was it that short a time? Hell.. He wasn't sure when Bones' dad had actually died only that he had. "Well, you were... definitely dead, I know that much. Luckily, I guess, you're not the first not-dead person we've got on the ship. Before you ask, no I have no idea why you aren't dead anymore or how you've got here. If we had that figured out we've be fa.. more famous. As it is, half of Starfleet doesn't believe people like you and Emma exist."

[dammit-emmy.livejournal.com]

"Unless my math is wrong." He frowned, crossing his legs. "Emmy here filled me in on the part of I actually died. I just say supposed to because, I'm still findin' this hard to believe, as you can probably guess."

Rolling his eyes he chuckled. "I wasn't gonna ask if you knew, especially if this ain't the first time this has happened. And I don't blame Starfleet."

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

"I know from Bones... er, your son, that you were a doctor and had your own practice. How up to date on technology were you?" He knew some doctors stuck with older traditions, while others loved the latest and greatest.

[dammit-emmy.livejournal.com]

"Reasonably up to date. I wasn't one of those doctors who was stuck livin' completely in the past, but at th' same time, I felt certain things didn't need to be changed."

He sighed slightly. "How is my son, anyway?"

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

"...Heavy question to ask, sir." Kirk said quietly, frowning. "You... coming back..." How could he put this? "...Isn't... gonna be good on him."

[dammit-emmy.livejournal.com]

David looked toward the ground and frowned himself. That was what he was afraid of. "I figured. I meant, how has he been since I died?"

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

"...Bit of a loaded question. 'Not good' immediately leaps to mind, but I'll say 'not good but getting better' instead." Kirk licked his lips, trying to think where the best place to do this was. Maybe it was here, divorced from everything else they shared on the ship.

He leaned over and hit the comm, "Captain to Bones."

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

A tired voice replied. "Hey Jim- what's up?"

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

Kirk looked to Emma and David and held a finger to his lips, "I need to speak with you in my office... something important's shown up. If you're not in surgery, it needs to be now."

As he carefully began to remove Bones from the rest of his shift.

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

An exasperated sigh could be heard. "Dammit, Jim, I'm up to my eyeballs in shit here. This can't wait?"

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

A glance to the two parents, and cautiously, "How bad is it done there? Something you really couldn't pass off to the other doctors and nurses? Call Bashir in if you have to."

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

There was a long pause. "On my way."

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

It took about fifteen minutes to get everything organized and where he liked it before Bones actually left Sickbay. Hitting the turbolift, he got off on the appropriate level and headed for Jim's office. He liked it there, much as he teased the younger man. There was somethingy satisfying, seeing Jim there, looking official and important.

The door swooshed open, as if he was expected. "So, what's going on, Jim?" he asked from the door, not yet noticing the other two people in the room.

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

Kirk really wasn't sure what to say. He stood up, gesturing for Bones to come in further. As the door shut behind the doctor, he gestured to the other two people in the room. He really... didn't need to say anything at all.

[emma-mccoy.livejournal.com]

Em turned when she heard the doors swoosh open. "Lenny." she breathed, with a smile. She stood up and walked over to him, immediately pulling him into a tight hug. Ok, maybe she was embarrassing him again in front of his captain but hugs were all right, right?

[dammit-emmy.livejournal.com]

David watched Emma hug their son with a small smile on his face before he spoke up with a sigh. "Leonard."

[dctr-mccoy.livejournal.com]

Being pulled into a hug by his mother wasn't as much of a surprise as it might have been a few weeks ago. But seeing the other person in the room made Bones' heart stop.

His face paled as he stood there, his mother's arms still tight around him. "-D-Dad?" he asked, staring as if he could not believe his eyes, because he couldn't.

Couldn't be.

[dammit-emmy.livejournal.com]

Leonard looked as if he had seen a ghost, which technically he sort of had.

David nodded slowly. "Unless you know anybody else who looks like me and would be here with your mother, yeah, it's me."
