Accident?

[universal_charm]

_{[ He blinked, as if not realizing he had said that part aloud. He coughed, rubbing the back of his neck. ]}

Uh, yeah. About a year ago I got hurt really bad - like thought I wasn't going to make it bad. I blacked out, and when I woke up Leonard and Spock were there in the hospital.

[takingkarabusiness]

A sign of true friends. I'm glad they were there for you.

[universal_charm]

Yeah, me too. About a month after I woke up though I really wished Leonard would go back to the ship though. I love that man, but he can be very fussy when he's in doctor mode.

[takingkarabusiness]

It's all out of love, I'm sure. Though that doesn't mean that it's not the worst.

[universal_charm]

He says it is, but I think he just likes watching me squirm from time to time.

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe doctors need to have a little bit of sadism in them to become doctors.

[universal_charm]

Don't they take oaths that have the line 'thou shalt do no harm' or something? I think sadism should be a thing they would want to screen out during acceptances into medical school.

[takingkarabusiness]

I said just a little bit.

[universal_charm]

A little big seems a bit to much. Especially when they have access to hypos.

_{[ There might have been a shudder there, Kara. ]}

[takingkarabusiness]

Are you scared of needles?

[universal_charm]

No - only the ones McCoy has his hands on.

[takingkarabusiness]

I see how it is.

It sounds like you have a great crew there.

Would you go for captain here if it was up for grabs?

[universal_charm]

_{[ There is a pause as he considers it - but it's not a very long one. ]}

Yes, probably. It's what I'm good at it, what I've trained for.

Why? You trying to stage a mutiny?

[takingkarabusiness]

Me? No way. I'm not really the betraying type.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He drops his voice to a conspiratorial whisper. ]}

Do we attack at dawn?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ whispers back ]

When's dawn?

[universal_charm]

_{[ Still in the whisper. ]}

That's the beauty of space - whenever we want.

[takingkarabusiness]

Doesn't that defeat the point of coordinating a time?

[universal_charm]

Well no, we pick a time, we just happen to declare said time dawn.

[takingkarabusiness]

Right. Yes, of course. Duh.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He chuckled. ]}

That is the beauty of space-time.

[takingkarabusiness]

Me and space-time have a checkered past.

[universal_charm]

Care to share, or a story for another time?

[takingkarabusiness]

Did I tell you about the Phantom Zone?
