K/S Hospital Scene bc Into Darkness was so K/S TASTIC

[done_in_3]

It was so sudden. He woke up with a flash, bright lights, soft sounds, a bed, he was alive?? But he'd died in the chamber...in engineering. Spock and he had exchanged that vulcan hand-thing whatever the hell it was. He'd died, he was dead. Was this heaven? Holy....

No. Bones was here nagging at him.

"Oh don't be so melodramatic, you were barely dead. You've been out cold for two weeks."

He was so...taken aback. What had happened? He just remembered being in the locked chamber watching Spock shed tears, glimmering tears of anguish as he slowly died of radiation poisoning... his heart lurched at the memory. He didn't know the vulcan was even capable...

And then Spock was in the room, approaching him. Suddenly... everything else was forgotten. Hell even Bones was gone in his mind, though he could hear the doctor put in a "You know Uhura and I had something to do with it too."

"....Thanks, Spock... for saving my life..."

_{[Jim would have noted how out of character that seemed... only it didn't. Spock always seemed to have anger issues with people who dealt physical harm. He did tend to his mother while Frank did everything in his power to get out of the vulcan grip. He yelled things about this being illegal and swore he'd get his revenge at the hands of the cops. But in the end he was just a lot of air. Frank stood uselessly at the doorway, attempting to get back in, making idle threats to Spock and the house. He wasn't listening to anyone but himself. Any attempt to speak with him would only encourage him to talk over everyone else. he was stubborn though, he'd take a while to leave.]}

[spohkh]

[Spock regarded Frank with disdain as he expelled his useless air...
In his mind he curled around the bond.]

Ashaya... would it be inappropriate to nerve-pinch him?

[done_in_3]

By all means. Just shut him up.

[spohkh]

[Spock focused on Frank once more.... and gave him a fair warning to leave before he had to use physical force.

...when he didn't leave, Spock calmly reached forward, and pinched the sensitive nerve between neck and shoulder, sending Frank ungracefully in a heap to the floor.
Spock looked almost... satisfied. The Vulcan turned back into the house, and regarded the two humans.]

It would seem that after a physical altercation of an abusive nature, Frank had to be forcibly removed and then subdued when he would not cease his actions.

[It was almost as if Spock was rehearsing what he would tell the police.]

Missus Kirk... are you in need of medical attention?

[done_in_3]

_{[Jim already had his mother moved to a seat at the table. She was shaking a bit and looking cross, mostly with herself. Somehow she deserved this for being an awful mother or allowing herself to end up with such a louse. Somehow she earned that punch. Jim was nothing but calm with his mother but to a trained eye, he was restraining fury. He couldn't kill Frank or strike out against any threat to his mother. He had to be soothing and patient which was far from what he's good at.]}

No, Spock... I'm fine... You two didn't have to do all this...

Mom, he hit you.

You don't have to call the cops Jim. _{[Winona is clearly winded wondering how this escalated so quickly.]}

Mom. He hit you. He ever do that before?

No.

...You lying to me?



...

How long?

It just started...

_{[Jim huffed, clearly wanting to do irreparable damage to the man heaped outside but he remained still. He got some ice for his mother's face and brought her something to drink.]}

Alright... Spock and I are gonna get the police.

Jim- no... please.

Mom, you have to file a report otherwise he'll never get time the next time he does this to someone... believe me, I know.

..._{[Winona ans Jim shared a grim look, wrought from the days he was a delinquent.]}

Fine...

[spohkh]

[Spock witnesses the exchange with a certain amount of curiosity...
....and no small amount of anger.
This man, sprawled out on the front porch, had abused this family for years and got away with it. On Vulcan, that kind of behaviour was unheard of... save for a few instances of mental insanity.

Spock went to stand beside his T'hy'la...]

We can involve Starfleet officials if you so desire.
[Frank did just assault an off-duty officer...]

Wold Starfleet be able to do anything? They aren't cops and Frank isn't in their service...

[done_in_3]

_{[Winona quickly looked to Spock with an expression that begged mercy. She didn't want a scene and she already had two in her lap. Jim sighed.]}

We don't have to call Starfleet but we do have to call the cops, mom...

... Do what you have to do... I'm just...

Hm?

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

That you had to see this. I--

This has nothing to do with you, it's not your fault. <sub>[He went to get the police.

Winona looks at Spock once more. Has the vulcan any judgement for her now? She's properly pathetic before him again. Go on...]</sub>

Maybe they could enforce a restraining order? Meh, maybe I shouldn't have suggested them.

[spohkh]

[Spock watched Jim leave... then faced Winona....

Spock always found the expression that 'eyes are a window into the soul' a rather curious one... and slightly illogical. However, he couldn't help but see the turmoil in her eyes.
Expressive human eyes.

Maybe they weren't so different from one another.


Slowly, Spock moved to sit down beside the woman...]
Are you... okay?

Oh I think they'd offer her asylum if she needed it. I dunno that they could do much to Frank

[done_in_3]

_{[She shrugged, looking away. She seems defeated.]}

I'm more startled than anything. I'll be fine.

_{[She's shaken and humiliated, she doesn't like being vulnerable in front of her son yet again, and she is tasting the bitterness of her poor choice in a spouse once more. She wants to crawl into a hole. Or go back in time. Or just... disappear.]}

XD They could discreetly beat him up. *snerk*

[spohkh]

[Spock regards her for a moment.... he's not sure what to say. He would know what to say to a 'Vulcan'... but this woman is human, and her emotions are quite clearly displayed.]

History would suggest that you have experienced much worse than this... I have every confidence that you will rise above this.
Though I believe that I can assume that achieving such a state will take time. In the interim, know that both Jim and I are here for you.

[It was a solid offer, and Spock did not make it lightly. If she wanted them to stay... he was certain that they could stay.]

phhh... I think that would have to be between Sam and Jim

[done_in_3]

I know.

It's not a big deal really. I'm not going to take him back...

_{[But clearly she felt like she deserved this treatment or she would have thrown Frank out when this started.]}

I worry about what Jim thinks now... I don't want him thinking he has to take care of me. He has his own life to take care of.

ooh.... I approve. XD

[spohkh]

[Spock looks over at Winona with a quirked eyebrow.]

You believe yourself to be a burden? Illogical. Family is important, and should take care of one another.
[Vuclans were very clan oriented. Now that Spock was officially bonded with Jim, that put both Jim and his mother under Vulcan care.]

If you are that worried about what Jim thinks... you should ask. However, I can inform you that the only negative thoughts he has are towards Frank.

Idk that I want to do that though...

[done_in_3]

It's also about what he is taking away from this, Spock... nevermind.

<sub>[She wasn't of a mindset or a level of trust to discuss her self doubt openly. He was still under her tutelage and that would take some serious practice... a lot of time. Honestly she needed more time with Spock and Jim before she'd be comfortable letting Spock 'loose'.

Jim returned, sitting at her side.]</sub>

Alright, they're coming. Do you want to talk to them or do you want me to?

I will... you've done enough, Jim.

I'm talking to them anyway.

_{[Spock, be proud. Jim is calm and soothing to his mother but within the bond it's evident he is disturbed, betrayed, and angry. He's keeping it tightly restrained for his mother's sake.]}

that's fine~ It was mostly a joke. :p

[spohkh]

[Spock's eyes are on Jim the entire time... In his mind he soothes the bond, sending his love over to Jim in his turmoil. They would have a chance to talk soon...]

Ashaya, you are strong... I do not believe I would have been able to restrain myself as you do right now.

[Spock continues to murmur Vulcan endearments through the bond to Jim...
The Vulcan stands.]

I will make tea for us all. Please join me after you have spoken with the police.
[The Vulcan feels kind of in the way... and besides, this is Jim's mother. He is more adequately equipped to comfort her than he can obviously. But he could make tea.

But what he longed for was to comfort Jim... Yet it was a tedious thing as Winona was right there... and at this moment she needed to be comforted.]

Indeed

[done_in_3]

_{[Jim gave a moment to think on how strange it was that Spock was suddenly out of his strict control. Emotions were throwing him for a loop, suddenly he was impulsive, aggressive, even threatening. Surely this would calm down as he got used to expressing himself...]}

Thanks. I'll have to go out later and fight or something. But for now I'm fine.

_{[Winona was grateful for some alone time with her son. Spock was a good kid but she wasn't entirely comfortable with him yet and in this vulnerable position she felt as if on a stage with him as an audience. Jim spent over an hour with his mother and the police, giving their stories and getting the beginnings of a report against Frank. When they entered into the kitchen, Winona appeared exhausted and defeated. She wilted into a kitchen chair and Jim's eyes... they didn't leave her. Not even to look at Spock.]}

<3

[spohkh]

[Fight?
Spock recalled what George said.... The Vulcan would keep a close watch on Jim and make sure he did not fight anyone but him. Preferably it would not even come to that.
For now, the Vulcan placed a cup of tea before Winona and Jim...
Looking between mother and son, Spock hesitated...]

Ashaya... do you wish for me to give you and your mother some time alone?

[done_in_3]

<sub>[Fight Spock? Like as a stress relief? Considering how strong Spock was that might honestly be a great idea... Jim had a thing for brawling. But he also had a thing for having his ass handed to him once in a while too...

Winona sipped her tea, looking ashamed somehow. Her face was darkening with a bruise. Jim pet her hair and looked to Spock. Suddenly he was very grateful for this bond, its silence was infinitely useful.]</sub>

No, stay. I think she needs things to just be normal. We'll just go on like regular.

[spohkh]

[Spock mentally agreed and turned towards the kitchen.]

Perhaps lunch is in order...
[The threatening kitchen.... Then again, there was always the replicator.
Surely he could manage to make a sandwich. The Vulcan started to root through the fridge.]

Ashaya... do you have a dermal regenerator? A low setting should quickly heal that contusion.

I am interested in Jim fighting Spock

[done_in_3]

That sounds great. You want me to help? What do you want, mom?

I don't care... whatever you decide.

Ah... maybe? You handle food then, I'll go look.

_{[He stepped out and headed upstairs to explore.]}

Me too!

[spohkh]

[Spock managed to pull out all the left-over ingredients from the sandwich Winona had made the other day.... and put together something relatively decent.
Placing the plate of sandwiches on the table, the Vulcan once again took his seat and sipped his tea.
Since Spock didn't know what to say, he decided that silence was better.

If Winona wanted to say something, she would.

What bothered the Vulcan was form of Jim's frustration and anger. Humans became angry... he understood that. Violent emotions emerge from stressful situations... especially the ones where you are left helpless. What Spock didn't like was that Jim was in a destructive mood... He wanted to hit something... be physically violent.
He actually wanted to go out and get into a fight with someone or something.

That had one logical conclusion: Jim was going to get hurt.
This is the sort of self-destructive path that Spock wanted to make sure that Jim did not fall into anymore. He had seen it too many times on missions...
Now though, Spock was in a position where he could do something. He was literally in Jim's head, and he would ensure that Jim was going nowhere without him today or any day when he was in this mood. If Jim was itching to fight...
...then he would have to choice but to fight him]

I dunno how Jim would take to that though.

[done_in_3]

<sub>[Winona was beyond caring about taste or quality. It's hard to fuck up a sandwich and Spock does a well enough. She eats in relative silence, Jim returns with a dermal regenerator and sees to healing the bruise, the family is slowly coming to peace once more.

However Jim's feelings... they aren't at the forefront but they are still very deliberate. Jim has the ability to put his need to lash out on hold for a bit until his mother is taken care of. As it stands, Winona decides she wants to lay down for a while. Jim sits at her side in her room for a short time before coming downstairs and exiting the house. He had to untie Lightning from the pen, then find a place he could drink around here. Sad thing about Iowa was it was slow as hell and empty as the sky. People didn't drink unless they had problems and most people who had problems kept them at home. There was no brawling unless you knew where to go.

And unless the place had changed since he got into Starfleet, then he knew just the spot.]</sub>

Could be a moment where Jim learns more about himself?

[spohkh]

[Spock stayed at the kitchen table when Winona and Jim retired upstairs...
...but then left the house to follow his Ashaya towards the barn.
Spock could feel Jim's turmoil.... it was as palpable as a storm cloud raging over his head. How should he approach it?

Well... first things first... Spock calls out to Jim.]

Jim?

What would he learn exactly? I think it will be educational for them both.

[done_in_3]

<sub>[[ooc: Also you should know that in the video game, Spock was poisoned with a toxin that made him a berserker, and he went after the first thing he saw, inevitably Jim. The two fought hand to hand until Bones shot him with a cure. So... Jim has fought hm before, for his life even. No I don't think Spock would have crystal clear memories of it but he understands what happened bc they witnessed their crew and plenty of vulcans fall prey to this toxin before Spock got it.]]



[Jim was busy bringing Lightning inside the barn. The horse seemed nervous, sensing Jim's anger. The man pet him, cooing softly.]</sub>

It's okay... easy. Easy I'm not going to hurt you.

_{[he looked over his shoulder.]}

Hm?

We could always try it out? If it doesn't work we can always backtrack.

[spohkh]

[Spock tilted his head as if listening to something... He was listening to Jim's mind.]

You are... not well.
Is there anything I can do for you Ashaya?

[Spock was worried...]

Of course~ It's just rp anyway, we can do w/e

[done_in_3]

Nah, I feel fine.

_{[He gave Spock a winning smile.]}

I'm gonna go into town for a bit, I need to get some things for Lightning here.

_{[Not a lie. But not the whole truth.]}

Stay here and watch mom, alright?
