pokeharvest here ya go! I kinda changed it up a bit if you don't mind :P

"Scotty, my dear, I am having trouble fixing something. Would you mind leaving little Betty here and helping a wee girl out?" You patted the processor he was working on then batted your eyelashes.

Scotty looked up from his work, giving you a look you were all too familiar with. "And 'who' is it you are trying to fix this time?"

You gave him a sweet grin. "This time it's Matthew." You toss your hands up in the air and start to walk off, assuming he was following. "This is the third time he has acted up when I have been running diagnostics. I am at my wit's end."

Scotty scratched the back of his neck, letting out a breath of air as he looked around warily as you stopped in front of an energy filter. "I have come to think you have hit that end a long time ago," he whispered.

You rolled your eyes and smacked his arm. "Don't think for a second that I didn't hear that. Now, let's fix Matthew once and for all." you turned to look at the energy filter, pointing out what was wrong with it. 

It took a while but Scotty was able to find out what was causing the energy filter, "Matthew", to act out and you acted like he saved a friend of yours. For the life of him, Scotty could not figure out why you act so strange, naming random pieces of the ship. For the first while, it bothered him but as time went on he found it entertaining, in an odd way.

Subconsciously, Scotty learned all the names you were giving the different parts of the ship, there wasn't much else for him to do about it. But as it turns out it may be more helpful than he would have ever thought.

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

During one of your shifts, you were replacing a couple of small power couplings when the ship suddenly jerked. You looked at a wall screen to see what had happened.

"Oh, some on Annie and Clarabell!" You moaned as you made your way to the nacelles. "Scotty is not going to be happy you are acting up. Again."

You rushed through the halls as the lit up with red light accompanied by the blare of alarms. Crewmembers passed you or moved to the side when you called for them to move. The ship jerked again.  You fell against a wall with an 'ooaf' but you found yourself being helped to stand.

"(Y/n), are you alright?" Scotty's voice sounded worried and rushed.

You looked at him and nodded. "Look I'm sorry Annie and Clarabell are acting up again, but I think it's because of something else."

Scotty nodded, taking your hand in his as the two of you rushed to the main engineering room. "You are right about that." He looked at you before he glanced around him. "We have been boarded. The Captain asked for you and me to keep the engine room running."

The two of you enter the room and start directing people places. You turn to Scotty and point to an energy compressor that was smoking.

"It looks like Martha is part of the problem."

"And so is Charles." Scotty pointed in the opposite direction at another energy compressor.

You suppressed a giddy feeling at him accepting and using the names. "Right. You work on Charles and I'll work on Martha."

Scotty nodded but before you parted ways the ship shook and he grasped onto you as you held on to him. You look around and gasp when you see a group of well-armored men run into the engine room. You look up at Scotty with worry but he had spotted them as well.

He looked down at you, cupping your face gently in his hands. "Alright, you have a name for everything right?"

You were too shocked at what was going on to say anything, so you just nodded, reaching up to hold onto his arms.

"I think I know all of them. Stay calm and follow my lead."

The both of you were interrupted by a shout from one of the heavily armored figures. You jumped but Scotty caressed your cheek to keep you calm.

"I am going to use the broken energy compressors to our advantage. Pay close attention, I know you will get what I'm saying."

The two of you were suddenly torn apart by two of the figures. "Hey! What's going on here?"

Scotty looked at you and gave you a small nod with a smile. "I just might ask the same thing! I don't remember you being part of the Enterprise's crew."

One of the men took off his helmet and you were shocked to see he looked almost like a lizard. "Maybe that's because I'm not human," he sneered.

Scotty crossed his arms. "Well then, so I take it you have taken over and therefore know how to run this ship?"

The lizard man hissed and pointed his weird weapon at Scotty's chest causing your hand to fly to your mouth in worry. "Don't be stupid. You will work it for me or this one," he then pointed his weapon at you, "will get hurt."

Scotty spared a glance at you before he rolled his eyes. "Oi, don't get your scales in a knot, I didn't say I wouldn't help. I just don't know how Martha would take the news, she tends to boil up in stressful situations."

You glanced over at Martha. Steam turned to smoke and it looked like it was trembling slightly. Suddenly you started to understand. Scotty want's you to create a distraction for something. You were filled with determination as you turned back to your captors, paying attention to every little thing the Scotsman was saying.

The leader of the group looked at Scotty with confusion. "Shut your trap and go to work! I don't care what others think, this is our ship now. We need warp capabilities now. Take us to the Laven system."

"As you wish, sir, but it takes a crew to run this ship."

"Fine. You can have her. Your time is ticking. Get to it!"

You were shoved forward into Scotty's arms. He didn't look at you but glared at the lizard men. Scotty patted your arm and nodded to Martha and Charles. "Take care of those. Wait for my instruction."

You nodded but not before you placed a kiss on Scotty's cheek. "Be careful." And then you hurried off, not waiting to see his reaction.

The two of you raced from place to place in hopes of getting the ship back up and running. But at the same time, he spoke to you in code to set up an isolated bomb in order to incapacitate the new visitors.

"What have they done to my bloody ship!? Alright once you are done with the rerouting maybe check up on Gary the Great. He may be a little too cold." Scotty's voice sounded over your communicator.

You nodded, despite him not seeing it, and made your way to Gary the Great, the main wall hub of power couplings and wire crossings. You pulled the wall panel down and found the largest cord. Without looking as suspicious as possible, you scraped away at the special lining of the cord to reveal several wrapped wires. You clipped a few until you saw sparks flying, but only if you got up close. Quickly you closed the wall panel back up and called back to Scotty.

"The sparks are flying. I think he's ready for his date with destiny."

"Great. Now we need to know how much time we have left. Maybe Martha and Charles can tell you."

You made your way to the energy compressors, not liking the sounds they were giving off. You checked their controls and winced. "I don't know sir. I spoke to them and they wanted to be fixed yesterday. It's either now or never."

You hear Scotty curse before he took a deep breath. "Alright. Annie and Clarabell are behaving again so I'll meet you at Granny Smith's. She may have one more go at it before she passes."

You rushed over to the stairwell where you had kept an old piece of weaponry alive. It was once called a grenade launcher. You picked it up and got it ready, Scotty helping you aim it.

"Did you have them gather over there?"

Scotty rolled his eyes. "No lass, they're gone and I want to blow up my ship."

"She has been through worse." You smile up at him as you took a knee, resting Granny Smith on your shoulder.

"Doesn't mean I have to like it," he grumbled as he helped you steady it.

"Now when I say now, I'm going to hit Martha causing her and Charles to explode. Next Gary will spark a chain reaction and blind the survivors of the original blast. Then there will be a power shortage which should detach their ship from ours. Then you will need to run to turn on Becky and restart Annie and Clarabell, hit Josh, and then we should be out of here."

Scotty nodded, making a mental list. Power compressors, wire wall, back up power switch, and warp board. "I trust ya."

"Great. Ready?"

"I want my ship back."

You nodded. "Now!"

Everything happened so fast. You blinked and found yourself on the ground, your ears ringing and your lungs burning. You started to cough as you tried to sit up, but the ringing wasn't only in your ears, it was in your head too. You look around to make sure everything worked. You assumed it did by the amount of smoke in the room and the lack of standing lizard men. You turned to see Scotty booting up Annie and Clarabell with Betty then running to Josh to jump into hyperspace.

Scotty felt his ship come back to life and take off. Captain Kirk was talking to him over the communicator but he wasn't paying attention when he saw your shaking form attempt to stand. He rushed over to you, catching you before you fell. He grimaced at the bit of blood that came from your ears and out your nose. You looked up at him and let out a little cough. He called in for a medical crew as his large engineering crew trickled back in.

"Did it work?"

Scotty smiled, smoothing back some hair from your face. "Sure did lass. All thanks to you."

You gave him a small smile before going into another coughing fit. Bones rushed over but froze when he saw what happened.

"What did you do?"

You winced as the doctor got to work patching you up. "Oh you know, just a wee family reunion."

Scotty smiled wide, taking your hand in his. From now on he is never going to question your odd ways. They just might save lives.
