Warnings: Slash, Crossover (Doom), medical ickiness, spoilers (Doom, Star Trek), Language, Angst, Questionable Science
Summary: McCoy deals with too many things at once, while Kirk finally figures out his feelings for the doctor.
Author's Notes: My sister graduated today, and to everyone's surprise, she got a grant from the school--the very first one awarded during the ceremony, no less!
Chapter Nine: Biotacin and Agarim
Sickbay, USS Enterprise
McCoy submitted himself to the physical without complaint.
"How does it look, Chris?" he asked once his head nurse was finished.
"Not good at all, Len," Chapel replied. "This strain was designed to act faster than normal, but your 24th chromosome is slowing it down somewhat."
"But not slow enough for my immune system to handle the pathogen?" McCoy asked.
Chapel nodded.
"Janet and James are working on developing a cure for it right now," she added.
"James?"
"You know, James Matherson," Chapel clarified, "the you from the other timeline. That James."
"You're already on first name basis with him?" McCoy asked.
"There's nothing wrong with that," Chapel observed.
"Only as long as you don't fall in love with him," McCoy added. "Please tell me that you aren't having sex with him."
"Oh, god, Len, of course not!" exclaimed Chapel as Kirk walked into Sickbay.
"What are you doing here, Jim?" McCoy demanded.
"Just wanted to make sure you were alright before I headed up to the Bridge, Bones," Kirk explained.
Chapel wondered how the hell her great uncle could be oblivious to the love the young blonde clearly had for him.
"Well, you've checked in on me, now you can go up to the Bridge," McCoy insisted peevishly.
Kirk ignored the doctor, turning his attention to Chapel.
"Is he well enough for duty, Nurse?" he asked.
"For the time being, sir."

Medical Lab 2, USS Enterprise
Janet stared at Matherson.
"What?" the doctor asked, confused.
"It's just that I've never heard of biotacin, Doctor Matherson," Janet explained. "I can guess at what its purpose is, though."
Matherson sighed. He hated time travel.
"Sorry, Doctor Frasier," he apologized. "I keep forgetting that we aren't in my lab."
"It's alright," Janet replied. "Maybe we can get the replicator to replicate some biotacin, if you can't work without it."
Matherson smiled wanly as he shook his head.
"It wouldn't be any good, biotacin is tricky to replicate correctly," he explained.
"What should we use instead then? Agarim?" Janet asked.
"Agarim will have to do," Matherson declared.
