I have a little note at the end that you might want to take a look at, if you want ;)

You struggled against Khan as he held you tightly against his chest with one arm with the other dangerously tight around your neck. You took short breaths and made sure to relax so he didn't hurt you any more than he already had. The wind whipped at your hair, pulling at your dress and making it hard to keep your eyes open. The trash ship he pulled you onto moved fast but you knew Spock was faster. You watched as he ran then leaped onto the ship, pulling himself up to come face to face with the alien superhuman.

"Good, good! I can see you care for her. Too bad there won't be much of her left for you to care for."

Spock rarely showed emotion but right there you almost felt sorry for Khan and the Vulcan he just angered. The death of his friend and the threat of death on someone you hoped he loved surely has him riled up.

You only just overheard the death of the captain before Khan dragged you with him as a shield after he happened to catch you and Spock standing close and holding hands earlier. Your limp from  your injured leg didn't spare you, in fact, you were sure he found joy in your pain.

Khan held you tighter, causing you to whimper in pain. You couldn't help it. Spock looked at you, his eyes traveling over your body then back up to your face. You watched as his face relaxed for a moment then nodded just the slightest before he turned to Khan and raised his phaser.

"Ah. Ah. Ah. You don't want this precious lady to get hurt now, do you? To be responsible for two of your closest friend's deaths?" You hear Khan cluck his tongue in mock scolding. "What would the Federation think?"

Spock waiver just the slightest but you spoke up. "Just do it!" But you then let out a shout of pain as you felt Khan stop on your injured leg.

"Quiet!"

You watch through teary eyes as Spock raised his hands. "Please, do not further injure her. Leave her out of this."

Khan scoffed then pulled at your hair to make you look at him, making tears fall freely. "Would you look at that, Lover Boy is here to save the day." He then roughly tossed you to the side, hard. You cried out but used the time to scoot away from him as best as you could. Khan then threw his coat off and came up to Spock fast, punching him hard.

You let out a scream of surprise as Spock fell back, grunting in pain but he didn't stay down. You watched as the two men shared and exchanged blows, grunts and shouts of pain filling the air. You cowered in the corner of the ship, holding on to a part of it so you didn't fly off. Suddenly you heard chirping but you couldn't tell where it was coming from. Then Spock got thrown over to you, you heard the chirping loud and clear.

"Spock, your communicator!"

With quick actions, he unclipped it and tossed it to you, his eyes catching yours and holding the gaze until Khan took another swing. You looked back at the communicator and opened it. You could barely make out Uhura saying something about 'needing him alive'. Your eyes widened and you dropped the communicator. As best as you could, you pulled yourself up to stand.

"Spock!" You shouted at him as you watched him repeatedly hit Khan in the face. You staggered closer, picking up Spock's fallen phaser and shooting Khan to phase him and get Spock's attention. "We need him alive! Stop!"

Spock hesitated for one more moment before he hit him with a final blow, knocking the superhuman out cold. You collapsed, breathing heavily from the pain in your leg. You were sure it broke. You watched as Spock crawled over to you, pulling you to his chest as he held you close, his eyes never leaving the unmoving form of Khan.

"Thank you." You whispered into his chest. He didn't say anything back but you relaxed into him as he held you a bit tighter, making sure you were off your injured foot. You tried to stay awake but you were tired on top of being in a lot of pain. Spock lightly rocked you back and forth, causing your eyes to slowly shut just as you heard the sound of the transporter materialize someone.

The last thing you remember was the sound of Spock pleading for you to be alright as the darkness engulfed you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spock stood next to your bed, gazing down at your peacefully resting form, his chest filling with warmth at your beauty. Someone cleared their throat behind him, causing him to turn in question.

"If you stare at her anymore deeply, I might just throw up." Bones smiled as he entered, taking  a look at your vitals. He pointed to a chair next to the bed. "Take a seat, Mr. Spock, she's not going anywhere."

Spock willingly sat down, looking at your hand as to take it but not in the doctor's presence. He instead looked up at his medical friend. "What of the captain."

"Jim did die so I would hope it would take at least a week for him to come back to life." He grumbled. "I don't want to go back to chasing him just yet. But he is getting better."

Spock nodded good-naturedly. "That is good news to hear."

"And Miss (Y/l/n) here will be just fine. Her leg is mending and everything else seems to be stabilizing. I wouldn't be surprised if she woke any minute." Bones walked over and rested a hand on the Vulcan's shoulder. "Let me know if you guys need anything." He winked then left.

Spock turned back to you and immediately took your hand in his, using his other hand to stroke your hair. Your steady breathing and calm face pulled him to you, no longer caring about keeping his feelings in check, he almost lost you. He leaned down and rested his forehead against yours, breathing you in. He then moved to rest his face int he crook of our neck, giving you a squeeze.

"Gently." You whispered as you felt pressure on your body bring you back to reality. You shifted slightly then opened our eyes slowly to be welcomed by warm brown eyes and black hair. You smiled and lifted your hand to cup his cheek, running your thumb lightly over a green and purple taped up cut. "Hey you."

The barest of smiles pulled at his lips as he closed his eyes and leaned into your hand. "Are you well?" He whispered.

You laughed and squeezed his hand holding yours. "I am well, now at least. The captain? Is he really gone? And Khan?"

Spock opened his eyes and looked you in your eyes as if he couldn't get enough of you. Shaking his head he whispered, "Khan has been taken care of and Jim is not gone but asleep."

You nodded and adjusted your head to look at him straight on. You moved your hand to the back of his neck, playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. "What about you?" You whispered back.

You saw his eyes flick to your lips then back to your eyes. You bit your lip to keep from smiling. He moved his hand from our hair to your face as he traced your jaw. "I am sorry I could not keep him away from you."

You looked at him questioningly. "Oh Spock, don't worry about that, I'm alright now."

Spock pulled his lips into a thin line then looked at your intertwined hands. "But I cannot help but think what would have happened had I not known he took you or if I did not get there sooner. Or if I had taken Jim's place and not gotten-" But he didn't get to finish his sentence.

You silenced him by pulling him to you, capturing his lips with yours. He was shocked but quickly adjusted himself to kiss you more soundly, letting his emotion of the past few day pour through it. You eagerly kissed back, finally having him in your arms. But when he moved his hand to move under you, it jarred your leg and you let out a hiss of pain.

Spock quickly pulled away and made sure you were alright, looking at you sheepishly. "Gently?"

You laughed at his expression and nodded. You reached forward and gripped his shirt to pull him to you so you could kiss again, but this time is was more sweet, more gentle. Spock then pulled away, giving you a soft kiss on your forehead before he leaned his forehead against it and closed his eyes.

"I feel extraordinarily well at this very moment." He whispered, giving you goosebumps and causing you to smile.

"Good. I'm glad." You smile then kiss his nose, loving his warmth and the sense of security he gave you when he was around.

What up!? Alright, my lovelies, I have a crazy busy week ahead of me but I have some great ideas on the horizon. You know the drill with what to do! I have an idea that this book will go to 100 chapters (as will my Barry Allan book) before I LITERALLY leave it up to you guys and your requests to further the book. I have more books I want to work on before I have to go back to school for my training! Thanks for all your support and whatnot, I wish I could give every single one of you a hug and slice of cake :P Kisses!
