As the ship passed us, Sulu sighs relief and says. “God, that was close.”

“Search the enemy ship for signs of life.” Spock ordered Sulu as he ran onto the bridge, I was standing beside the chair, I had nothing else to do but watch Spock’s anger just rise.

“Sir, there’s no way anyone survived.” Sulu pointed out to Spock and I look at him, wondering if it was true, but in reality, it wasn’t true.

“He could.” I added to Sulu, Spock looks at me and I look back at him with no real emotion in my face.

“Aye, sir.” Sulu nods and begins scanning the ship. And then we see him jump far and we were shock. “Whoa! He just jumped thirty meters!”

“Can we beam him up?” Spock questioned Chekov and I look at him and he nods and I ran off as Chekov began replying.

“There’s too much damage, I have no incoming signal. But it may be possible to beam you down, sir.”

“Go get him.” Uhura encouraged and I nod to him as I left the door to medbay, to check on James.

As I walk into medbay and see McCoy look at James body sadly, I walk sadly towards him and touch his cold cheek and tears landed on him. I missed him. I just – I just couldn’t believe he was gone, what am I going to tell Chasity. . .? I close my eyes gently as one more tear fell from my eyes and I heard a noise beside me, and I look up quickly and see the tribble McCoy was experimenting on, moving and making more noise.

“McCoy. . .” I began quickly. “I think it’s-”

McCoy caught on and he yelled out in demand. “Get me a cryo-tube, now!”

The nurses nod and run to grab one, and I look at James, and let go of his cheek and whispered to him.

“You’re coming back, I’m happy. . .”

“Get this guy out of the cryo-tube, keep him in an induced coma. We’re gonna put Kirk inside. It’s our only chance to preserve his brain function.” McCoy ordered everyone and they begin to put him in the cryo-tube, making me happy. Carol looked at him and asked.

“How much of Khan’s blood is left?”

“None!” McCoy yells out in frustration, and I begin thinking. I ran out as McCoy was trying to get a hold of Spock and when I went on the bridge I heard McCoy announce on the bridge.

“Enterprise to Spock. Spock!” No answer and when James placed in the cryo-tube he began explaining. “Activate the cryogenic sequence.”

Carol nods and does so, freezing James’ body to help him stay alive.

“McCoy to bridge. I can’t reach Spock. I need Khan alive! You get that son of a bitch back on-board, right now! I think he can save Kirk.”

“Can we beam him up on the ship?” Sulu questioned Chekov and he shakes his head towards him.

“As they keep moving, I can’t get a lock on either of them.” Chekov admits and sighs, I take a breath and ask.

“Can you beam someone down, Chekov?”

~*Edge of Glory*~

When I went to the transporter, I had a gun in my hand, ready to help Spock and to let him know we can save him. Save James. I felt myself beaming down there, and when I got on the ship, I see him crushing Spock’s skull, I begin shooting him, stunning Khan several times before he let Spock go, and I ran to him and kick him away from Spock and Spock quickly regains himself and begins to beat Khan senseless, to kill him. Avenge his dead friend.

“Spock! SPOCK!” I yell out to try to stop him. “Stop! Stop!” He continues his assault, I yell to him in hope. “He’s our only chance to save James!”

Spock stopped his assault, and looked at me and I was almost smiling. Spock then looks back at Khan and knocks him out.

~*Edge of Glory*~

I sat there the first week, without sleep, I was holding his hand hoping he would wake up soon. I brought Chasity in a few days ago and she was wondering why daddy wasn’t waking up, and I couldn’t think of an answer, neither could McCoy. I could only think about one thing. “He’s sleeping, he had a long night working.” It was a lie, I couldn’t tell Chasity the truth.

“Why don’t you go home, Ari.” McCoy suggested to me, “You need your sleep, being awake this long is not great for your health.”

“I don’t care, I want to be here when he wakes up.” I retorted gently, I had no strength to fight. “You can try to send me home all you want, but I’m not moving from this spot.”

“I get it, you want to be near him. You love him, Ari.” McCoy looks at me as I glare at him, he scoffs. “Deny it all you want, Ari, you know it’s true. I’ll call you when he wakes up.”

“I told you.” I bluntly stated. “I’m not leaving.”

McCoy sighs and he gave up, he knew he couldn’t win in an argument with me, but he wanted to try. McCoy then began checking his vital signs again and they were normal still and he left and I cried again.

“I miss you, James. Though I would never admit it to your face, I’m to scared too because you’re just a playboy. . .” I tried to make conversation with him but he doesn’t talk to I chuckle to myself. I close my eyes gently, holding his hand tighter. “That one night we had over a year ago runs through my head a lot more than you think, I enjoyed it, I thought we became one. It felt right, but – to you, I was just one of those girls, and I resented you for it, but I couldn’t stay mad. How could I?” I sigh quietly. “Look at me, admitting my feelings when I tried so hard to keep them hidden.” I purse my lips and lean against his arm, finally feeling tired enough to sleep. “I love you, Jim Tiberius Kirk.” I whisper under my breath.
