The One with the Kid - Bones and Jim
@imadoctornotamagician started this HERE
“One to beam up, Mr. Scott.” Bones called up to the ship.
The beam down had been rough, to say the least and he wasn’t looking forward to repeating the experience. Scotty had tried to explain about some anomaly in the atmosphere, but all Bones heard was “something, something, dangerous, you’re probably going to die in this death machine.” Which, if he was honest, was what he heard every time they talked about the transporter.
The transporter engaged and he took a deep breath. It was like getting in to a cold lake, he told himself. You just gotta jump in all at once. Get it over with.
A few seconds later, aboard the Enterprise, someone materialised. The uniform was McCoy’s and so was the kit and tricorder. But the boy standing there draped in a uniform that was far too big for him definitely wasn’t the same man that they’d beamed up.
Jim was making his way to the transporter room with Yeoman Rand at his flank handing him report after report for his signature. Thankfully he’d read most of them the day before, and he was only checking for minor changes. He was also thankful he knew the interior of Enterprise like the back of his hand, or he’d have walked into a bulkhead more than twice on the way.
“And one more, Captain,” the blonde said as she took the PADD from his hand and flipped through the pages to the bottom of the stack.
“You promise?” he joked as he took it back just as the double red doors to the transporter whooshed open. “Because my wrist is getting tired.” He glanced toward the sparkling energy on the pad, not paying a whole lot of attention to it, even if it was Bones beaming up—they did it all the time—so he wasn’t worried.
“Oh my!” Rand said, tapping Jim’s arm to draw his attention.
“Hmmm?” he looked toward the pad and nearly dropped the reports on the deck. There was no mistaking those blue eyes, even if they were in a kid’s face. “Bones? Mr. Scott, what happened?”
