McCoy didn't want to talk anymore.

~~

The process of waking Khan was safe and sound. Although Mr. Mummy was still full of waking up, he didn't want to be attacked by McCoy's syringe again.

Needle-free syringes are a real thing.

Jim looked around slowly, still holding hands with Spock.He stood a little higher, and everyone looked at him expectantly, waiting for his final order. Keenser's light surrounded them softly and brightly.

Jim asked, "Can we wake them up?"

The crowd replied: "Of course we can."

Jim smiled: "Good."

They then pushed a reluctant Khan to the front.

Spock hadn't been to Earth in three years.Strictly speaking, there is no detailed, patient, and long stay on the earth for a period of time.After careful thinking and some things, he decided to stay on New Vulcan, and work together with Ambassador Spock and his father to rebuild the homeland for the people.Although it took him a little away from his fledgling ship friendship, it was worth it, he thought—when he saw his surviving brethren work together to restore their old lives.

Of course he'd been in touch with Kirk for three years, they were... friends. Kirk always likes to define their relationship with such intimate words.They would write emails and call, and occasionally video. From the conversation, he learned that the young captain was not "unemployed" during the long renovation period of the Enterprise, and he had also made some voyages, of course, not so far away. galaxy.

"Come back soon," Kirk smiled one last time (the twitching of his facial muscles makes a slight dimple next to the corner of his mouth—showing two shallow dimples, in Earthling parlance. Very... attractive)," When you and our beautiful silver lady are ready, there will be a deep space exploration waiting for us."

That's it now.The Enterprise will re-enter service in a week and will be on her first five-year mission since birth. Spock had returned to Earth 3.2 standard days ago, and now he needed to follow human protocol to visit his superiors.Or as a friend.

He went to the commanders' residence in San Francisco according to the address. Kirk received him warmly. He hadn't seen him for three years. The link subsided by this. Dr. McCoy was there (to Spock's surprise, but they subtly displeased - he couldn't explain why), and there was a little human girl with hazel green eyes, about eight or nine years old, Spock tentatively judged her to be Dr. McCoy's daughter.

"Uncle with pointed ears." The little girl covered her mouth with one hand and giggled while pointing at him, "and—"

"Jo, don't point at people," her father interrupted, lazily admonishing the child, "That's rude, even to Spock."

"'Even'?" Spock raised an eyebrow, already familiar with the nuances in human voices trying to express different kinds of emotion.

"Okay." Jo put her hands down obediently, but still giggled, this time covering her mouth with both hands, "Uncle Spock with pointed ears."

Kirk crouched on the couch, hugging a cushion, with the same lazy expression: "Come here, Joanna, get the comb too. Look at your braids—you've unraveled them."

"Again, don't call her Joanna, I hate that name." The doctor scrunched up his face as his daughter squealed in delight, throwing herself at Kirk with her pink princess comb and mirror.

"That's just because the name reminds you of Mom." Jo stuck to Kirk, righteously. "I like Jo, and I like Joanna. Jimmy likes Joanna, so I like Joanna even more."

Kirk gave McCoy a "look" look, then threw the cushion aside, sat the girl on the rug in front of him, picked up the comb and began to tie her ponytail very skillfully, quickly and neatly, and finally tied A big goose yellow polka dot bow.He adjusted its position: "Is this okay, little princess?"

Jo looked left and right in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction and commented: "It's much better than Daddy's comb."

Kirk collapsed on the couch laughing, and McCoy looked disapproving.Spock on the side couldn't help raising his eyebrows again.It turns out that his captain can actually do these... fine work of coaxing children?He thought he might have missed a lot of things about Kirk and the opportunity to get to know him during the three-year gap.He sat on the other side of the sofa, watching from afar the tiny lines in the corners of Kirk's eyes that were twitched by Jo's chatter.

Spock realizes that while staying in Kirk's apartment time seems to pass faster than it should (which isn't scientific and impossible, also on Earth the medium of time passage hasn't changed, so...), a meal is It's almost finished.While McCoy was talking to him, Spock's attention wasn't on the doctor: Jo got Kirk's permission and thumped up the second floor with the big cuddly bear that had been left in the corner of the couch.He could have heard their conversation, which was within the Vulcan's earshot, but Dr. McCoy's words really distracted him:

"You won't fight Jim again this time—will you?"

"I don't understand what you mean." The Vulcan frowned. "I've never 'quarreled' with the captain."

"God," the human rolled his eyes dramatically, "you're at Jim's apartment now, and you're still calling him by his official title—do you even consider him a friend?"

"Of course." Spock pursed his lips. "Jim is my friend, of course."

"If you say so yourself." The doctor gave him a strange look, "Treat him well. Don't do anything sorry for him, you know what I'm talking about."

"I do not--"

Spock was about to argue, but was interrupted by Kirk's distant call: "Bones, do you remember our itinerary?"

"Itinerary?" Spock asked.

"Ah." Kirk scratched his hair. He was wearing home clothes, with a baggy top, long trousers on one side and short trousers on one side, without socks, and stepped barefoot on the heated floor.And his hair was messy and limp, making him look younger than he really was.He said, "Go buy some clothes for...Jo or something." He hesitated for a second, "Do you want to come with me?"

The Vulcan refused. He didn't think this time-consuming and labor-intensive activity was suitable for him: "If you are still busy, I think I can go back first."

For a split second there seems to be disappointment in Kirk's eyes, but they disappear so quickly that Spock can't make out. "Um…ok, see you in a week."

"See you in a week." Spock nodded, turning to leave.McCoy was still following him when he reached the entrance, and he had to turn around: "What's the matter, doctor?"

"Mark my words, boy. Get along with Jim." McCoy folded his chest, "or I don't care if you're the Enterprise's first mate or the son of a Vulcan ambassador or whatever—I'll give you a shot."

Spock gave him the odd look he'd had before: "Even though I don't really know what you're talking about, I promise you, Doctor. I'm going to—'get along' with Jim."

McCoy grunted "that's good" and walked into the room. Spock puts on his shoes and turns around, wondering if he should say goodbye to Kirk again, only to find that Kirk is looking up the stairs, talking to someone.

The corner leading to the stairs to the second floor is a visual blind spot, and Spock can't really see who's up there—Joanna, maybe, he saw the big bear the girl was carrying up earlier.

But that's...not Joanna.The toy's legs hang down over the speaker's feet, and he or she is wearing a pair of plush rabbit slippers that clearly belonged to a child younger than eight.In other words, Kirk was talking to a hatchling that was significantly younger than eight.

The captain's voice is softer and more patient than anything he's ever heard, and Spock catches even a hint of a response—it's weak and lilting—"Daddy?"

Who is that?

After a hectic week of preparations for the Enterprise to finally sail again, Spock arrived at the dock early and was first on the bridge after the last of the maintenance crew had left.

He stood between the captain's chair and the helmsman's seat, which was the best viewing point on the entire bridge.You can’t see the stars here now, but you will be able to see them in 3.2 hours—the deep space of the universe, which is where all of them yearn for and devote their lives.

9.8 minutes later Spock took the turbo elevator to the Habitat, and when the door opened he was surprised to see Clerk Rand, but he soon realized that she, who was in charge of the captain's accommodation, should have arrived earlier.The girl also opened her mouth in surprise, and quickly realized
