A Word (Or Few) On the Khan Serum

Ah yes, that little plot element from Star Trek: Into Darkness. It was interesting to be sure, but I have noticed that it is being treated (most likely by the writers as well which makes this doubly aggravating) as a miracle cure-all. I’m not a fan of this in the least because NO medical treatment is such a cure (though I venture to say penicillin is pretty damn close to be honest). So I’m going to address the particular scenes with what I personally think is happening. This is a general headcanon of course to dispel the magic of it and is based mostly on my annoyance at it being used the way it seems to be treated. Please excuse my rambling.

Auld Lang Syne - Kirk and Khan

[admiralsdontfly]

"Fuck you," Jim mumbled. His mouth tasted like he’d been chewing on dirty socks and drinking from a toilet. He smelled. The place smelled too, and because of the music he couldn’t make out what Khan was saying to begin with. He could recognize the voice but that was about it. It was pretty obvious he was back to torture.

"And whatever." Jim Kirk hated ‘whatever’. It meant you didn’t give a shit one way or the other. Go ahead and disagree with him. Have your own opinion—please—but don’t pass on having one at all. He hated that. He hoped it bugged the shit out of Khan too.

"Don’t know what you want. Can’t hear you. Whatever." Just get it the fuck over with and kill me.

khansicyrevenge

[khansicyrevenge]

"Are you offering?  I'm sorry but you just don't interest me in that way."  Kirk was trying so hard to show strength but Khan could hear the weakness in his voice.  Even if he disliked the captain, he admired the fortitude.  Unfortunately it would do the man no good.  As much as he struggled, he could never hold out against Khan's onslaught.  "Whatever?  Be careful what you say, Captain, you might find that I will take you up on that."  His grinned widened.

"Now why would I want to do that, Kirk?  I wanted to kill you before, yes, but now I have a better idea of what to do with you.  You're going to help me."  The music turned off and he turned up the heat, making it as hot, if not hotter, then what Vulcan had been like.  Soon he would have to give the man some water and food so he wouldn't die but not yet.  "You wouldn't be here, Kirk, if Starfleet hadn't betrayed you.  They have, you know.  You can't believe that Marcus was the only one in on starting the war with the Klingons."

Sowing seeds of doubt would come first, once he thought Kirk was starting to actually listen to him, then the rest would happen.  "They wanted war, Kirk, they wanted the Klingons to attack the people you swore to protect.  Why are you protecting them?  You are nothing to them."

Auld Lang Syne - Kirk and Khan

[admiralsdontfly]

He came too slowly. He was cold, and he was in restraints. But they were hardly necessary. Jim didn’t have the strength to move a muscle. He was surprised that he was able to breathe and then wondered if he wasn’t hooked to some machine. Any hope he had was gone. Spock would never be able to find him. He wasn’t on the planet anymore, and he was fucked.

His eyes felt like they’d been glued shut and for all he knew they had been. When he opened them there was nothing to see either. His world was nothing but cold and black. Hell for all he knew he was dead although he hoped Hell would have better heating.

[khansicyrevenge]

Khan leaned back in his chair, watching Kirk on the monitors as he finally woke up.  This wasn't going to be easy but he was looking forward to the challenge.  He had little regard for the other man but Kirk had a strong will and it would take time to break.  Once he did though...  Fingers moved over the controls as he blasted music into the room at painful levels.  Leaving the music to play for awhile, he checked Kirk's bioscans.  Stressed but not enough yet, Kirk was nowhere near ready.  He had time though.

Turning off the music, he toggled on the microphone.  "Hello, Captain, I hope you're comfortable.  I know you were hoping for rescue and I'm sure that you had some way of trying to contact your friends but as you can see, that won't be possible."  He smiled slyly.  "Are you hungry, thirsty?  It's been awhile since you've had either and I would regret you passing out on me due to starvation or dehydration."

Auld Lang Syne - Kirk and Khan

[admiralsdontfly]

Leaving. Shit. Jim had no idea when they’d be coming for him if they got his emergency message at all. Going off planet wouldn’t help him at all, and he doubted he’d be able to hack the PADD again. He was screwed, but maybe Khan would take him someplace where he could escape. He doubted that too.

"You’re not going to let me go back to anyone, Khan. I’m not an idiot. The only question is how soon you’re going to kill me." So much for the silent treatment. It wasn’t getting him anywhere anyway. He got up, dropping the book to the floor without bothering to make sure it landed well. He braced himself for the attack. It shouldn’t take long for Khan to hit him. He was shocked he’d been holding back as it was.

"I mean you’ve got to know that they’ve changed any codes I had, and what makes you think I’d enter accurate data on that PADD of yours? I know you think you’re better than anyone who lives, but you know something, asshole? You’re not." That’s when Jim decided fuck it and sprang on Khan, bringing his knee up into the man’s crotch and then slammed his forehead into his chin. 

khansicyrevenge

[khansicyrevenge]

Khan watched as the man stood up, picking the book up off the floor and dusting it off before setting it aside.  He smirked as Kirk went off on him, not all that surprised that the man had figured out the truth.  Even someone with a little brain could see that there was no way they were getting free.  Khan couldn't afford to let Kirk go, the only question had been dead or alive.  He was only half listening as Kirk kept ranting at him and that was where he miscalculated.

He hadn't expected the man to lunge at him, to knee him in the groin.  Superhuman he may be but that still hurt and he let out a grunt and doubled over.  Damn Kirk!  With a growl, he reached out to grab at the man and pull him close so he couldn't pull a move like that again.  His other hand swung towards Kirk's jaw.  The pain was starting to fade and Khan let out a snarl as he slammed his fist into Kirk's stomach.

"If you want to fight, I have no problem with that but it's going to do you no good.  I can still drag you onto my ship and take you with me when we leave and you have nowhere to go and no help coming."  His fist swung towards Kirk's jaw again.  Blood drops flew through the air and he grinned, wanting nothing more than to cave Kirk's skull in but knowing he couldn't.  It would be much better to use the man than kill him.  "If you want me to incapacitate you, I will, but it would be better for us both if you can move on your own."

That wasn't happening and Khan had had enough.  One last punch to Kirk's jaw and the man finally slumped.  With a slight grunt, Khan lifted the unconscious man over his shoulder and headed for his ship.  He had a use for Kirk and even if he never realized it, he was going to help Khan.  Dumping Kirk on the floor of the ship, he lifted and headed for base where all his equipment was now set up.

Auld Lang Syne - Kirk and Khan

[admiralsdontfly]

Jim kept reading, refusing to give the asshole the attention he obviously craved. There were plenty of other people he could’ve taken from Starfleet who knew more than he did about the new construction. Hell a construction worker would have more information that he would. Khan could pretend it wasn’t person, but Jim knew it was. He was here because Khan wanted him, wanting someone he held a grudge against and not a stranger.

He scanned the pages. Bright blue eyes following the trail of typed words while he was forced to remember all that happened since the attack on London. If anyone had a grudge, it should be Jim. Khan took Pike. He took Enterprise, and he almost took his life.

Kirk wasn’t Marcus. If he’d been the one to find Khan and his people, he would’ve helped them. He wouldn’t have used them. They were human beings—augmented sure—but still human. They had human weaknesses, emotional weaknesses, that Jim could relate to. He understood why Khan was angry, but he didn’t understand why he couldn’t adapt and learn.

Superior my ass. If you were superior, you’d realize that not all of Starfleet is like Marcus—like you. He should say it, but he didn’t. Silent treatment was still his best weapon. 

khansicyrevenge

[khansicyrevenge]

So, Kirk was trying to get under his skin by ignoring him.  Well, he'd let the human think it was working for now.  At least it kept him quiet and he didn't have to sit and listen to any posturing.  Concentrating on his work, he continued to turn the pieces of scrap into a scanner.  It would've been better if he could've gotten his hands on one of the newer tricorders but this would suffice.  Sitting up, he arched his back until the bones popped and then stood up.

"I must apologize that my library is not extensive enough to occupy you for the full length you'll be my guest," he smirked.  "But I may bring you some others when I return.  If you're still here."  Not that he was leaving Kirk alone again, this trip he needed the young captain to get inside the building.  Also, it was good to have a hostage nearby in case you needed one.  "We will be leaving in a few days, I hope you haven't become too attached to my house."  If thoughts could kill, he'd would've died at least a hundred times by now.  Kirk didn't look at him but Khan could see his jaw tense and he grinned to himself.  

Squatting down, he got got into Kirk's line of sight.  "You may think you're being brave or something equally as stupid but I can assure you that you're not.  Once I get the information I seek, I may let you return to your Vulcan and your precious Federation."  He stood back up.  "After all, a good Captain should go down with his ship.  And his Federation."  On second thought, he did want to convert Kirk into one of his soldiers.  The man would hate him for it but it would be a fitting punishment.  Besides, he needed someone to experiment on and since he didn't have the time for children, Kirk would be the next best thing.

Jim was sitting in the middle of his mess. It wasn’t the worst he could’ve done to Khan’s little cabin, but that was only because there wasn’t a lot for him to trash. And no matter how much it sucked, Jim couldn’t bring himself to damage the books. They were real. He wasn’t that much of a barbarian.

Taking a sip from a bottle of water, Jim turned the page on the copy of Dante’s Inferno that he’d found in Khan’s supplies. He had to bite his tongue not to make a joke about more fitting titles like the Prince and the Art of War. Those seemed more Khan’s speed, but he probably had those memorized.

His emergency signal went out twenty minutes ago. He had no way of knowing how far they were from the nearest Starfleet transponder or how long it would take for Spock to get his message, but it would be received. Khan would never know. He let out a heavy sigh and scratched the side of his nose with his middle finger before returning to his book. 

khansicyrevenge

[khansicyrevenge]

"Very mature, Captain, exactly what I would expect of someone like you."  He glanced at the books gently stacked around the young man and the corner of his mouth twitched up.  It seemed that not everyone was completely enamored with digital copies.  He found it much more satisfying to hold a book in his hands and it seemed Kirk felt the same.  How did that make the human feel, knowing they had more in common than either of them had thought?

Going through the bag, he set the instruments out on the table and then pulled the chair over.  "I'm sure you're curious about what I have planned and if I were a villain in a book, I'd tell you.  But this is the real world and it's not for you to know."  For a moment, he wondered if the data on augmentation could be used on an adult.  How would Starfleet handle it if he converted their poster child to his cause?  He might have to try it, even if it didn't work.  It might give the Federation pause.

Getting up, he found his small tool set and then sat back down at the table and started taking some of the pieces apart to reform them.  They should give him the things he needed.  "You're smart, from what I understand," the tone of his voice said the thought otherwise.  "And I know better than to ask you if you'd like to join me."  He looked over at Kirk.  "Are you enjoying my books?  I didn't think you'd be a reader, not many of your generation seem to be."  It was a jab, nothing more.

Auld Lang Syne - Kirk and Khan

[admiralsdontfly]

Six hours. It was plenty of time for Jim to crack the security on the PADD and send out a distress call. He knew he’d never be able to have it repeat. Khan would have a way of tracking anything like that or blocking it in general. It would need to be a rapid barrage of information with a hidden plea for help hidden in the code. A smile spread over Jim as he realized exactly where to hide his call for help—he’d hide it in the code for the Kobayashi Maru.

That would get Spock’s attention.

“Probably expecting me to toss the place looking for some means of escape,” he said out loud, assuming that he was being monitored. Jim knew it’d be a waste of time, but the biggest advantage he had with Khan was to do what he assumed he’d do. Behave the way Asshole thought he would while doing what he needed to do in between.

Jim started going through the storage lockers and shelves, doing his best to look slightly frantic and like he thought he’d find something. He even made sure to act discouraged and angry all the while writing code in his head to send to Spock from the PADD.

But one thing he wasn’t going to do—speak to Khan—silent treatment it was. 

khansicyrevenge

[khansicyrevenge]

Six hours was a long time and most people would be worried about what Kirk had been doing while they were gone but Khan didn't really care.  Kirk was an means to the end and if he escaped...well, he would get his revenge against the young Captain at some other time.  First he needed the information buried deep in Starfleet's databases.  Getting his crew free was his priority but there was something else he needed to do too.  Somewhere there had to be information on the augments and how they had been created.

He knew he was created, all augments were and he had understood the need for them when the greatest minds in the world had come together to create a better person, one that could survive.  These people left behind weren't strong enough, that was obvious.  They needed a strong leader but a leader needed people behind him and as much as he loved and needed his family, they wouldn't be enough.  So, now he had to find out what the scientists that had made them had left behind so he could create the army he deserved.

Meeting with the dark underbelly that was part of any society, Khan found the items he needed that would allow him access.  Kirk would help with that, whether he knew it or not.  Paying for the parts that had been collected for him, he went back to his safe house.  Seeing the signs of searching, he smirked.  "I take it you didn't attempt to leave?  That was very smart of you."  He set the bagful of instruments down on the table.

[admiralsdontfly]

Jim let Khan take the PADD from him. He knew he wasn’t strong enough to stop him, and he needed to keep it from being damaged. That PADD was his key to getting off this shitty planet until he found something better. His other choice was to get Khan to kill him, and Bones had gone to so much trouble to bring him back from the dead that, that seemed like a crappy thing to do.

He got up before picking up the bottle of water. He popped it open and drank deeply. His eyes narrowed as Khan sent a fresh barrage of snark his way. Jim knew they could bicker all day and night. Hell, they could probably rival Spock and Bones on a bad day at insulting each other, but Jim had another idea.

Khan liked attention. He needed an audience, and Jim was pretty sure that’s why he was there. He finished half the water, and set the bottle on the ground where he’d been sitting. He stretched his back, twisting his middle until his spine cracked, and then went in search of the bathroom. He was pretty sure the silent treatment would drive Khan a new flavor of nuts. 

khansicyrevenge

[khansicyrevenge]

Eyes flicked up, watching Kirk move around the room and he tried not to smirk.  He didn't know for sure what Kirk was up to but it wouldn't matter.  He had more important things to deal with.  Turning back to the PADD, he scanned what Kirk had written there and frowning.  It wasn't as complete as he'd like but it was a start.  He'd have to find out what else Kirk knew and try to get some of the intelligence on his own.  Leaving Kirk here alone wasn't a problem, he had nowhere to go and no way off the planet.  Starfleet would never find him, they were too far out on the edges of space.

Once he was done memorizing what Kirk had inputted, he tossed the PADD on to the table and stood up, going to find his captive.  "You didn't tell me everything, I know better than that and I'm going to give you a chance to fix that.  I'm going to go and do some things and I'm leaving you here alone."  He smirked.  "I'm sure you're going to try and escape and you're more than welcome to try but I can promise you that you have nowhere to go."  

He looked at the water bottle next to Kirk.  "I would suggest that if you do try to go out into the desert that you bring plenty of water.  If you get too lost, I will find you when I return."  Turning on his heel, he headed for the door.  "I'll be back in six hours."  He fully expected to have to drag Kirk back from being lost out in the sand.

Jim bit his tongue. He wanted to remind the asshole that he’d dropped Marcus’ ship on Starfleet Headquarters, taking out a big chunk of it and the Academy to boot—to say nothing of the civilian buildings that were destroyed and the innocents slaughtered. His hands were shaking when he took the PADD, sadly it wasn’t heavy enough to use as a weapon either.

But there might be some way that he could hack it and use it to contact Spock. He’d busted the code for the Kobayashi Maru after all, and he didn’t care how ‘better at everything’ the bastard was—he was NOT smarter than Spock.

“Sure thing, Buddy, I’ll get right on that. Want to know where I used to make out with Dr. Lester?” he asked with a bright grin. “You and Janice would’ve gotten along great.” You’re both fucking psychotic. “I almost married her. Smart, sexy—“ happy to knife you in your sleep “—hell of a scientist too.” All the while he was speaking, he was tapping away at the PADD, looking for the actual spot where he’d meet Janice while finding out what operating system he was dealing with. It was doubtful that Khan knew about Jim’s mad hacking skills. 

khansicyrevenge

[khansicyrevenge]

"I don't care to hear about your sex life, I'm sure it was quite extensive and that you used every available flat surface you could.  And some that weren't so flat."  He had no idea if that was true but he really didn't care.  Just thinking about Kirk having sex was enough to make him sick.  "All I care about is getting the information I need and ridding myself of you."  The corner of his mouth twitched up.  They both knew he was planning on Kirk, it was inevitable, but he needed that tiny little brain first.

Watching with narrow eyes as Kirk worked, he stood up and pulled out a meal and a water bottle.  He didn't trust Kirk as far as he could throw him and he was sure the man was up to something but it wouldn't do him any good.  The PADD wasn't connected to any communication grids, he couldn't get a message of any type out and he'd figure out what he had tried to do later while Kirk was sleeping.  It'd give him something to mull over through the long, boring hours.

Heating the food up, he sat back down at the table and then dropped the other water bottle down by Kirk's feet.  He would feed and water him because he didn't want to lose the intel in Kirk's head yet but that didn't mean he had to be nice.  After about thirty minutes and finishing his food, he reached over and grabbed the PADD.  "I hope for your sake you actually did what I asked and didn't waste your time trying to get help."

[admiralsdontfly]

“Oh please, as if you weren’t planning on killing me and mine the first chance you got. I’m not an idiot.” Jim kept up the cocksure arrogant attitude. He had very little choice in the matter. Khan would torture him to get what he needed. Jim had no doubt of that either. So the angrier he could get the asshole—the better—because Jim didn’t have the answers to his questions.

“I suppose this is only fair. You kill me now, since you saved me. That’s how karma works I hear. The balance of the universe.” He sat on the floor of the hut against the wall and left his legs out straight in front of him and crossed his ankles. He looked relaxed, and there was no way he could get up fast. There was no fear in his blue eyes.

“Might as well get it over with then. See the thing is,” he said as he drew up one knee to rest his wrist on it. The young captain licked his lips, and might have accidentally flipped Khan off while he got comfy. “I haven’t been on active duty for more than a few days. And Starfleet’s learned a few important lessons between you, Marcus and Nero. I don’t have the keys to the kingdom in my head. That would be the access codes to just about anything, in case you weren’t following my train of thought. You wasted your time taking me. I’ve got nothing you want.” 

khansicyrevenge

[khansicyrevenge]

"There does need to be balance, you're right.  And you did steal something from me you had no right to."  Khan's voice grew colder.  "But whether or not I kill you isn't something we're going to discuss."  He leaned his arms on his knees.  "Not yet anyway.  As for what's going on in that empty head of yours, that is exactly what we're going to discuss."  He grinned at Kirk.  "I'm sure they've kept you in the dark, I would've done the same, but there are things you know that I couldn't get access to that they won't consider important."

That was where he was going to hurt them, going in through back doors and roundabout ways, things they wouldn't consider.  Khan would and he'd use Kirk's knowledge to find those ways.  "So you see, you have everything I want and you will tell me what I know."  Sitting back up, he picked up a PADD and brought up the schematics for Starfleet Headquarters, the public one at least.  He held it out to Kirk.

"Now, first thing you're going to do is fill in the parts that aren't known.  I know some of the layout so I'll know if you're lying.  You're also going to include all ventilation systems and maintenance tunnels.  Once I have those, we'll go from there."  His grin turned wolfish.  "So you see, Captain, you have more than enough information for me."

“Put a lot of thought into this then?” Jim said mockingly. He wasn’t about to cooperate. It was his duty to escape or die trying. “Why didn’t you just go for your people? Why bother with me?”

He walked around the small hut. It was stuffy, and he could feel sweat start trickling down his back and his head itched from the dampness there as well. Scared. Yeah, he was scared with good reason.

“Why should I sleep on the floor for that matter? I doubt you’ll sleep while I’m here unless you’re going to tie me up. The second your eyes are closed, I’ll kill you. I tried to treat you with respect even after you murdered my friends. What happened between you and Marcus had nothing to do with me—“ he slapped his own chest “—or my crew. Or the people of San Francisco. You’ve got some serious fucking anger issues, Khan. You should talk to someone about that.” 

[khansicyrevenge]

Was Kirk stupid?  "And how was I to get to them?  I might have been able to before but after what happened, Starfleet moved them to an even more secure location."  Which he wasn't completely sure on.  They hadn't been with him when he made his escape, whomever was in charge now was keeping them separate from him.  "That's where you come in."  

How the hell had Kirk managed to become captain?  He didn't seem all the intelligent, Khan just wanted to just kill him but he couldn't.  "You're going to be here for days and while I can go a long time without sleeping, I do need to from time to time.  So yes, I will be restraining you while I sleep so if you want to be comfortable while I sleep, I would suggest you not push your luck."  Getting up, he went over to his supplies and picked up a water container, taking a long swallow and watched Kirk out of the corner of his eye.

He was sure the man was thirsty but he wasn't going to give him any water yet.  "I don't have anger issues, Kirk, I have issues with people who are beneath me thinking they're my betters."  He said coldly.  "You may have tried to treat me right at first but I remember someone telling their subordinate to stun me the minute we were on the bridge.  You had no intention of allowing me my freedom or the chance to save my people."  Granted Khan had intended to subdue Kirk and the others the first chance he had once they were on the bridge but Kirk didn't know that.  He set the water bottle down on the table, taking his seat again.

The transporter grabbed him, holding him in its burning cold embrace, sucking the air from his lungs as it tore them apart from the nucleus outward. He was on Earth. He was scattered. He was put back together bit by bit. Normally it took seconds, but this time if felt like hours. Jim wondered if they were being bounced through connections like an old style telephone call, a relay race of his molecules, passing from here to there and back again.

“Nice place,” he gasped when he was finally solid once more. The acrid air was cold, and he shivered. No one would know where he was. No one saw Khan take him. If they didn’t know he’d escaped, they’d be clueless. He was fucked.

“Why the hell did you take me?” He asked, keeping his voice neutral as a Vulcan’s. “What good am I to you? This doesn’t make any sense.” There were no weapons. Not even a rock big enough to bash the bastard’s head in. His eyes briefly flashed over the transporter equipment. That was his only chance of escape, and Khan wouldn’t destroy it to keep him there—it would mean he was trapped there too. 

khansicyrevenge

[khansicyrevenge]

"Glad you like it, it took me awhile to find somewhere that Starfleet couldn't track me."  It was far removed and he had paid dearly for the connections to get him here.  It was behind Klingon lines but not near enough for him to worry about them coming after him.  He was pretty sure that the High Council had a bounty on his head for what had happened on their homeplanet.  But if they didn't know he was here, they couldn't come after him.  He shoved Kirk inside and shut the door.

It was dimmer and warmer inside the hut.  There was a bed, a chair and table and a small fire and not much else.  "Hope you're used to camping, you're sleeping on the floor.  And don't think you can use the teleporter to escape, it's locked and only I know the key."  He shrugged off his jacket, hanging it over the chair.  "I have a use for you."  He sat down in the chair and stared at Kirk.  "You're going to help me get my people back."

He leaned forward.  "You're my hostage and I will exchange you for my people.  If they won't give them to me, then I will hand you over to the Klingons and tell them exactly what it was that you did to their sentries."  He grinned wolfishly.  "I'm sure they'd love to know what's in that little brain of yours."  He was also going to learn what Kirk knew about Starfleet's security codes and plans but he didn't want Kirk to know that.  Yet.

And the city will burn

[donutsandguns-deactivated201410]

Knock someone out to steal their uniform? John found himself torn, for the first time. Reconnaissance, that was one thing. But this was blurring the lines. There was a part of him, a large part, that agreed with what Khan wanted. He understood the mission. He understood his orders.

But there was a small voice, resting in the back of his mind, that reminded him that he was about to commit domestic terrorism. Attacking a facility in his home country was a dangerous line to cross.

Could he do it?

Did he have a choice?

Eyes narrowed in thought, he found himself scraping his blunt nails along the table they sat at. An internal war was being fought, silent and dangerous. Finally, he broke the silence. “We’ll do what we have to. I can see about luring one of them away. There’s got to be someone I can pass as..” As he spoke, he was watching the uniformed men and women moving in and out of the building.

John didn’t want to talk about his misgivings. This was what they’d been planning to do. He wasn’t a coward. Something just felt… off.

And he couldn’t explain it.

"Let me see what I can see from inside the library itself." He glanced over, hoping his unease wasn’t openly apparent. "Let me take a look inside, see what I can suss out. Do a little recon, get some Intel, and I’ll report back."

khansicyrevenge

He could see indecision warring on Grimm's face and he wondered if he'd pushed too far.  There was a fine line yet, Grimm was mostly under his control but there would always be parts he might balk at.  Khan had to keep him off balance enough that he didn't listen to that part of himself, that he trusted Khan more than his own head.  "We're not going to kill him, John, only if he gives us reason.  But if we need the uniform, wouldn't it be better to get one we know will pass?  And it's only if we can't find another way in."

Smiling softly, he gave Grimm's arm a squeeze.  "I think it would be better if you did go inside.  I know there are innocent people in there but remember that we're after the ones that hurt us, locked us away and treated us like animals.  Us and how many other people.  We can stop them from hurting anyone else like they hurt us.  Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire."  That should help.  

"Once you see what the inside is like, what you can find out about where our objective is, then we can rethink our plans.  If there is a better way to get what we need, then we'll discuss it then.  Alright?"  He gave Grimm's arm another squeeze, then patted it before pulling away slightly.  "Do you think you can get in now or would you rather wait?"

Jim was wandering. He never knew what to do with himself on his off duty days, and it got worse since he’d had so many since—well dying. But Bones insisted that if he was going back on duty, he had to take weekends off or any two days a week like a normal human being, because he wasn’t a goddamn Vulcan.

The problem was he’d spent his three years at the Academy learning not to be a wastrel, and he felt like he should be doing something on those two days that was useful. He was not going off to get drunk or laid. He wasn’t some horny teenager that didn’t care who he was bedding. He had commitments that mattered to him more than anything, and whoring around was on the wastrel to-do list not the Captain of the Enterprise’s.

“Shit,” he hissed when he felt the phaser dig into his back, and heard that voice. “Khan! How the fuck!” Jim’s first instinct was to fight, but the fucker was right. There were too many people to get hurt in the crossfire, and unlike the psycho, Jim wasn’t armed. “What do you want?”

"I'm afraid that's on a need-to-know basis and you don't need to know."  There was no way in hell he was going to tell Kirk how he'd escaped.  What did Kirk think, that he was some movie villain that had to explain how he had done something?  No, he might explain to Kirk what he was going to do to him but he wasn't going to tell him his plans.  He wasn't stupid no matter what Marcus had thought.  

Prodding the younger man into the alley, he glanced at the opening to make sure that no one would see them teleport.  The longer it took for Starfleet to find their Golden Child, the better.  "You'll find out soon enough, Kirk, don't worry.  For now, if you value your stolen life, you'll do as I say."  He knew they'd saved Kirk with his blood, he'd heard that much before the Vulcan had knocked him out, he just didn't know why.  Nor did he care.

Once he was sure the way was clear, he hit the button on the remote and teleported them to his safe house.  It wasn't on Earth and the landscape was barren and bleak.  It was perfect though for his needs.  The chances on anyone finding him here was remote and he could see them coming for miles if they tried to sneak up on him.  "I hope you'll be comfortable here."  He smirked, shoving Kirk towards the small hut.
