done_in_3 | K/S Hospital Scene bc Into Darkness was so K/S TASTIC

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..."

_{[She's kind of getting lost in this sensation but it was so simple... so easy to get her points across. They almost didn't have to be communicated, as soon as the thought them they were already sent to Spock. How convenient...

"If you only ever knew being alone, then having close ties must be difficult. Being alone is a safe way to live and while having loved ones is risky, I will say it is much more rewarding."

Winona's image of Spock was fleshing out. He was a deprived sort of man. He'd never known the freedom of emotion, the freedom to love even his own mother... and he'd been ignorant of that deprivation until he met humans. Until he met Jim and his emotions became integral to their survival as a couple.

She could see how vulcans and humans were simply opposites in some respects. Friends, feelings, dealing with one's suffering. She spoke to him again.

"You will rarely ever find someone who completely understands you. There is an advantage to having multiple
'types' of people you associate with. Not everyone can fill all your needs but having many different people who serve one need well is how successful humans handle themselves."

Indeed she felt like she could help this poor child, Jim needed her to give Spock every tip she could.]}

spohkh

Then you understand that even 'you' do not have to be alone, yes?

[That was the point then. No matter what kind of loss anyone experiences, they cannot be compared. To continually decide that you must suffer alone, to bear a burden alone... to be perpetually alone is a poverty one can avoid if they only so choose.

It may not be easy... nay, it can be the most difficult choice in one's life...
...but if it means to have a chance at family, then it is no choice at all.]

Spock sees the gap in his mind that was once his family... and he believes that maybe... maybe that gap can be filled again.
He still does not completely trust Winona, and that is quite plain... And he is not dumb enough to expect that she trusts him.... However, there is an understanding.
His nature saw her as a threat... comparable to a black hole that was threatening the light of his sun. Perhaps someday, that black hole will be the birth of a new star.]

Missus Kirk.... perhaps it would be wise to end the meld now. I ask that you prepare yourself.

From:

done_in_3

_{[She could understand his mistrust. She reflected the same. It would take time, she didn't trust just anyone and even then it took a long time for her to come around. Granted, the telepathy made it much simpler for them to progress. They would have spent years just getting to this point if not for the mind meld. She's honestly grateful for this. She wants to have a family. She really does. She misses it.

Spock sees her as a black hole? That's how she feels most of the time... she wants to be different. She yearns to be the happy woman she once was, who had the ability to enjoy life.]}

I understand... though I don't know how to prepare myself...

_{[It didn't matter how that worked out, Winona would be fine and a man would be standing in the kitchen when they finished. He was about Winona's age with a thick dark beard and a peculiar scowl on his face that looked more like a smirk. His eyes twinkled with mischief.}

Well... don't let me interrupt.

spohkh

[Spock eased them out of the meld... Surprisingly he wasn't tired as he often was.
Was it possible that they were mentally compatible? It made sense in a way... she was Jim's mother. He would have to inform his father of this phenomenon.

The Vulcan felt the extra presence the moment the meld was ended, and stood in front of Winona...
His voice was cold as he assessed the other man.
He may not trust Winona... but he would protect her if this was not a welcome person.]

Can we help you?

[If Spock was human, his tone may have implied something slightly more violent.]

From:

done_in_3

_{[He was welcome. Sort of. He was welcome to a discussion with Winona about his dickery with her sons. And his adultery that she only sort of knows about.]}

Frank, this is Spock. He's here with Jim.

Jim's here? _{[Frank looked less than pleased]}....Great.

Don't get too excited. _{[She turned to Spock]}

You might want to go help Jim for a while, Spock...

Edited Date: 2013-07-29 07:16 pm (UTC)

From:

spohkh

[Spock regarded the less than favourable man before him... then turned to Winona.]

Are you certain you wish me to leave?

[He would stay if she did not wish to be alone right now. It was a solid offer, and Spock looked like nothing more than the Vulcan he was.... stony faced and unreadable.
Except for his eyes.
His eyes said 'do you need help?']

From:

done_in_3

_{[Frank's attention perked at the mention of his favorite scapegoat.]}

Jim? What the hell is he doing here? Is he messing with my horses?

Yes, Frank he's training--

Because I've worked too hard for too long on them for him to just step in and ruin them.

Calm down, he's breaking in the new one you found.

Phhh, that thing? He's insane, there's no way he can break that monster. It'll probably kill him. _{[That sentiment didn't seem to bother Frank either.

Winona looked to Spock, her eyes said 'I don't want to be alone.' but she shook her head.]}

You don't want to be here for this.

From:

spohkh

[Spock's eyes darted over to Frank, then back to Winona's. He knew that this situation was out of his depth, and that he probably wouldn't be of any use to Winona.
But he would get backup... if she needed it.]

Be that as it may Missus Kirk... I will return. [With Jim...He would know what to do right?
Spock inclined his head, and with a cool Vulcan look at Frank, he walked out the door and jogged to Jim's location.]

From:

done_in_3

_{[She looked hesitant but grateful at his response. She and Frank were already having words as Spock left the house.

Jim was in the pen, working with Lightning, now riding on his back. This horse was so simple... Frank would never have figured it out. Good thing he had Jim to give him a chance or he'd be set loose to recaptured or killed.

When he sees Spock jogging over, his mind calms down. The headache he'd had brewing settles and he is at peace. But he's also concerned.]}

What's wrong?

From:

spohkh

[Spock went up to Jim... but not so close as to spook the horse.]

Frank has returned... I believe he and your mother are having words. I...

[Spock hesitated for a moment...]

I believe she is in need of you, though she did not say.
She does not wish to be alone.

[The words echoed through the bond as Spock surrounded it... comforting Jim as he found the bond stretched and uncomfortable. He chalked it up to it being new and untried...
...surely this was normal, yes?]

From:

done_in_3

_{[The bond was relaxing once more, but it showed Jim's impatience when Frank was mentioned. He got off Lightning and tied his reins to the pen. He headed with Spock back to the house...

What happened at the threshold of the front door was rather quick. As Jim stepped up onto the porch, they could hear Winona's voice faintly underneath Frank's powerful yell. Jim paused, listening carefully. There was a chair scooting across the floor... Winona was trying to speak but Frank kept interrupting her, too interested in what he was saying. As usual.]}

Frank if you would just listen--

I've seen everything I need to. I get it, I've got no place in this house anymore.

Frank--

Only this is MY house. I pay the bills around here.

Would you stop?

Why are you backing away from me?.... get back here when I'm talking to you.

_{[Jim hurried inside, darting into the kithcen. The next things to be heard were a sound of flesh meeting flesh and Winona gasping. It startled her more than it hurt but it was still enough to knock her to the floor. She'd been in the act of backing away, it didn't take much to topple her. Following that was Jim's growl of anger. Anyone who stepped in now would find Jim looking ready to pounce, glaring at Frank, standing between him and his mother.]}

Get the hell out of here, pig.

Jim you have no right--

Here's how this is going to work.

This is my property, kid.

You're going to leave. Right now.

Mine do you get that?

And I'm going to get the garbage you call your shit and leave it out for you. And if you so much as look at this place or my mother again, I will end you. You got that?

I'm calling the police.

Oh let me. I'll need to talk to them anyway about this.

Edited Date: 2013-07-29 07:58 pm (UTC)

From:

spohkh

[Spock left Jim to tend to his mother... but he did indeed 'see red' as he heard the awful sound of abuse.
Who would dare hit Jim's mother? There would be no more abuse in this house... ever again.
The Vulcan stepped between Jim and Frank, and using his superior strength, he grabbed Frank's collar and lifted him off his feet.]

If you are to call the police, it would only be for them to apprehend you. Not only do you have several counts of abuse, negligence, and other more heinous crimes which I will not utter... but you also have the utter gall to lie. You have been living off of this woman, and this family for far too long. You do not own this house, nor do you own this farm. George Kirk owned this farm, and after his passing, it was placed in Winona's name.
[As Spock spoke he walked towards the door... taking Frank with him...
It felt good to vent... a rather curious feeling...]

You will find that you do not have a claim on anything here... and if you attempt to 'bother' these people anymore, not only will you have Starfleet authorities to deal with, but also the Vulcan consulate.
You are no longer welcome here sir... I suggest you leave peaceably.

[And with that, the Vulcan placed Frank on the other side of the threshold, and stood at the door... leaving him no room to re-enter. It was leave, or deal with the Vulcan.]

From:

done_in_3

_{[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.]}

From:

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?

From:

done_in_3

By all means. Just shut him up.

From:

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?

From:

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...

From:

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...]

From:

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. _{[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...]}

Edited Date: 2013-07-30 06:00 pm (UTC)

From:

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?

From:

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.]}

From:

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.]

From:

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.

From:

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.

From:

done_in_3

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

_{[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.]}

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.]}
