*********************************
Jim sat next to Bones on the shuttle as it flew higher into the atmosphere. It was the first year mid term halo jump. Bones had his eyes closed, no pinched shut. People were laughing and joking at him. One stare from JIm and they shut up instantly. Whatever radiated off him made everyone look anywhere else. Whatever happened after that he didn't remember. Kirk had focused so much on his friend. Imaging the world to go away that he didn't realize that: first) they had landed and second) no one was there. The shuttle was quiet and cold with long term shut down. Looking around he wondered what had happened. Turning to Bones he realized his friend was asleep. He wanted Bones to relax, but not that much.
"What the hell?" He got out of his seat and knelt in front of Bones. "Bones?" he whispered. "Bones." He lightly tapped him on the face. "Bones!" He shock his shoulders. Bones head tilted up. Blinking his blurry eyes at him.
"Is it our turn?"
"Um," Jim looked around. "We're on the ground." Hazel eyes met blue.
"I failed, wait did you jump?"
"No, I was too focused on you. I don't know what happened."
"Then let's get out of here." Bones fought with the harness but Jim's hands moved the surgeon hands away and undid the harness.
"Yeah." They both stood up and made their way out of the craft.
They walked to the hanger closet and returned their gear. Changing into their cadet uniforms they walked out into the promenade.
"Let's get something to eat." Jim said as he slings an arm around Bones' shoulder.
"Yeah and a drink."
"Yeah." They began to laugh and head off.
"McCoy! Kirk!" they both stopped laughing and turned. The halo ground commander came over. "Where the hell did you land? We've been trying to track you down. Come with me." They both sighed and followed the commander. Trouble.
Inside they headed towards Admiral Traxein's office. The secretary motioned them to go in. Inside the office was Pike and the Halo Commander on the shuttle. The admiral stood up. But the Commander jumped right in.
"How the hell did you do it?" Anger, Rage radiated off him. McCoy took an unconscious step back while Kirk stood his ground, and took an unconscious step in front of McCoy.
"Enough." She, the admiral, had watched the whole display. "Commander Ricco you are excused."
"But mam."
"You are excused."
"Yes, mam" he stood straight and left the room. The admiral came around her desk.
"How did you do it? How did you convince a whole shuttle that you weren't there?"
"Pardon?" She stepped up to them. Everyone knew that Admiral Traxein was a betazoids and skimmed surface memory when it was called for. And if need be further.
"You cheated, how?" the two friends looked form one another then too the admiral.
"We didn't cheat." Jim said. She glared at him.
"It's true mam." McCoy stepped forward. "I have a problem with shuttles. Jim was coaxing me to relax. Then all of a sudden we were back on ground in the hanger. We don't know what happened." She looked at them both. Tilting her head with interest.
"Pike, have these two tested. I want their psi rating on my desk my breakfast tomorrow."
"Yes, mam." Pike stood from his chair and escorted the two out. As soon as they were outside Kirk turned to Pike.
"Sir I don't know what happened. And psi rating? I know I am a little above average but I am not that good."
"I know. McCoy what is your rating?"
"Nul-Psi sir."
"See. How could it have been us?" Kirk was livid as they approached the psi building. The building where any advantage was utilized. Especially the unusual and unique ones.
Once inside they were put into two separate rooms then tested. Pike stayed outside the rooms. McCoy's came out first. She turned to Pike.
"He's nul psi but his empath rating is sky hi. No wonder he is such a great doctor." She handed over her report. "Are you sure he convinced a whole shuttle that they didn't exist?" Pike nodded. "Then we should probably test him with his friend."
"I agree." The other tester came over. He nodded to his associate then to Pike. "The boy is good, for human. But I don't know about the shuttle."
"You think those two together did it?" Pike looked between the two testers.
"Yes sir," she answered.
"Then let's get them together." Pike issued. The two jumped to it. Pike moved into an observation room. Kirk sat at the desk staring at the mirror. His tester came in to stand beside Pike. McCoy entered Kirk's room with his tester.
"Now that is unfair. You get a female and I get a guy."
"Guess they know you to well JIm." McCoy sat next to him. The tester sat across from them.
"You both rated hi on different scales. Cadet Kirk you rated hi on you psi rating."
"Which I was told already." He smiled at her. She smiled back.
"Don't encourage him." McCoy said.
"And You Cadet McCoy rated hi on you empath scale."
"Aawww." Kirk said and leaned into him. "You do feel."
"Get off you infant." The tester beside Pike shock his head.
"You ok?" Pike asked
"He radiated." Motioning with his head to McCoy. Pike nodded. The male next to him tilted his head. The woman tilted hers.
"What did you do?" Pike turned to the window.
"Told her to threaten McCoy."
"Why?"
"Because. He is nul psi. Kirk can block her but he can't."
"Trying to provoke a reaction." The man nodded.
McCoy bent over and grabbed his head. Kirk stood up and grabbed for McCoy.
"What are you doing? Let him go. Stop it." Kirk moved McCoy closer to him. McCoy buried his head in his hands and into Kirk's chest. McCoy began to scream. "I said stop it. Stop!" the tester was flung against the wall and pinned there. McCoy stopped screaming. The tester still held against the wall. Pike and the male tester entered the room.
"Let her go." The tester ordered but he was flung outside the door and it shut. Pike looked to the door then to Kirk.
"Kirk stop." Kirk stood up and began to step toward the female tester.
"Jim!" Jim turned to Bones as did Pike. McCoy stood there swaying. Kirk immediately went to McCoy's side steading him. The fem. tester sliding to the floor. Pike went over to the tester.
"We're leaving." The two exited. The tester turned to Pike. Pike turned toward the tester who watched them exit.
"You ok?"
"Don't ever separate them."
***********
Kirk sat beside McCoy in the starfleet cafeteria.
"You ok?" Bones looked up from his dinner.
"I will be. What the hell happened in there?"
"She was hurting you. I stopped her."
"Why would she do that?"
"Get a reaction."
"Boy did you give her one," Kirk smiled. They both smiled. "But you're good?"
"Yeah, why did you scream."
"She made me see, feel something that I locked away. It hurt."
"What was it?"
"I'll tell you someday."
"Hold you to it." McCoy huffed at that. "Think they'll tell us what is going on?"
"Of course they will." A new voice entered their conversation. She looked average but her high class apparel gave her away. "I'm Ambassador Troy. My daughter sent me to speak with you." The female tester they thought. "Yes her. Very impressive for humans." She looked them both over. "You are both impressive." She leaned over and took McCoy's face in her hand. Jim bristled when she touched him. "I won't hurt him." She stared into his eyes. "I see. I apologize for my daughter." She stroked her hand through Bones hair. Jim laid a hand on Bones. Radiating mine. "Oh he is yours." Bones looked up at her then JIm. "He is quite protective. Leonard," He turned to her. "A suppressant will help in the future. I suggest a regular dose if you don't want the feedback. Drinking isn't really a healthy medicine."
"But one I like," they both smiled. A private conversation.
"Yes, have a good day gentlemen." They watched her exit.
"What was that about?" Jim asked. His hand rubbing Bones' shoulder.
"Just proving that there are nice mind readers out there."
"Yeah but what did she say to you." Tapping his temple. McCoy looked down then smiled at Jim.
"Don't let anything ever separate us."
"Good. I'll keep you to that." They both smiled. Jim's face turned serious and lost. "Bones, will you stick to it?" Bones looked to him shyly. He smiled.
"Of course kid. Somebody's got to put you together when you break yourself." Jim brightened.
"That's right, my CMO."
"Only in your dreams."
"Nope, when I'm captain your CMO."
"Thanks."
"Your welcome."
"Let's eat."
