Bear & I

(True)

"So if I had told you, you wouldn't be mad?" Cam asked, almost sarcastically, then nodded a little, then hesitated. "Yeah, her career took off, but it's broken her in the process. Is her mental health really worth a promotion?" She sighed a little and looked around her quarters. "I wish you were a psychologist, or at least someone in this group was, we could all really use one right now..."

"You're right." Spock nodded a little, then took a sip from his tea. He watched it for a while, then finally answered her question. "I was focusing on my work and responsibilities. I believed you were probably doing the same, which you most likely were, and that continuing to communicate may be both unprofessional and an unneeded distraction to our duties." He replied, then looked up at her, curious to why she asked. "I thought you had thought the same, since you slowed down responses as I did." He did not perceive the sadness, or any emotion really from T'Aimnu.

James sat there in silence for a while, not sure what to do. Then he did what he had been wanting to do since she started to cry. He hugged her. It was awkward since the position she was in, and it took him a while to figure out how to pull it off without falling off the bed, but he did it. He didn't look at her as he did, afraid of her reaction. He wasn't sure how she would respond. "I'm sorry... For everything..." He sighed.

Kate sighed and with a nod, she gave in. "Alright. My hotel room it is. Or a bar, doesn't matter. As long as people don't recognize the fact of about how much I drink and I didn't react to it." She started off to it at a normal pace.

Logan shrugged. "Alright, wherever works." He nodded, then started to follow her. "As long as there's no one there with an oversized ego and mouth that I'm going to get in a fight with, then I'm okay with wherever."

"It does not matter to me." Kate replied with a shrug of her shoulders. "Besides I'm not sure what I'm like after having one too many. It's been that long." Kate shrugged.

(Happy New Year!)

Kate raised an eyebrow, and looked back at the man. "And how is that?" Kate asked curious about the man who she was about to start this endeavor with.

(It's fine. And ok.)

So continue with this scene or have them wake from the night in the same bed or what?

(You're fine, I was doing the same thing.

Sure, any idea of how it happen? Do you want to continue with the whole Kate/Logan plot?)

{You're fine.

I think it might be easiest if it happens with all groups, but it's up to you.

I'm good with it.}

(You please?)

Jim shifted slightly in his sleep, halfway awake. He was aware of the fact that he was halfway hanging off a bed that was slightly smaller than his own. He was also aware of the fact that there was someone next to him, smaller than him, laying on his arm. He was halfway holding the person, this he was aware of as well. Everything seemed distant, though. Sleep separated him from the world around him, so he didn’t seem to care about the feminine figure next to him.

The Vulcan nodded slightly in his sleep, his neck uncomfortably positioned on the couch. He was in a heavier sleep than James was, since he was not aware of the body next to him, and if he had been, he would not have been as comfortable with it as Jim was. After all, the captain and him had very different history when it came to the amount of times they had woken up next to someone. For Kirk, it was an old memory. Despite being uncomfortable, Spock slept soundly. Eventually, he slid down from his halfway sitting position, now laying down, probably disrupting the person next to him.

Cam slept softer than Spock, but a little heavier than Kirk. She wasn’t as aware of her surroundings. She knew she was in her room, where it was now dark because her lights had gone off, as they had in the other quarters. What she hadn’t noticed was the larger person beside her. At some point during the night, she had grabbed onto his arm, but it was likely she thought it was her pillow and not someone else’s arm.

(I kinda forgot where everyone was situated, like couch or bed or whatever, so I just tried to do what I remembered because I really didn’t want to look again, I’m sorry.

And I left Abby/Kirk open for the nightmare thing because I remember reading that somewhere-?

Sorry if this is rough, it’s been a while.)

(Yeah, lets focus on them until the morning.)

Jim didn’t seem to notice her moving for some time, until it felt like she was hitting him. His eyes opened, a little surprised and still sleepy. He shifted back an inch or so, his hold loosening on her, but his arm on her stayed. He watched her thrash, trying to make out what she was saying. Finally, it registered that he was having a nightmare. He tightened his arms around her, trying to pull her closer. James figured he should wait for her to come out of it, so he held her almost stiffly, trying to absorb her movement.

(Yeah, maybe in costume?)

Jim held onto her for a while. Finally, she got in a good hit to the inside of his elbow, and he winced and let go. He shifted away from her, pulling his arms off of her, trying to access the situation. He eventually decided to try and wake her. He grabbed her shoulders gently. “Abby.” He tried softly, then cleared his throat and tried again. “Abby.” A little louder this time.

(Sorry, I’m on vacation and just got wifi. I’ll try and reply tonight.)

{If the next time you come on and still are on vacation, let me know when you're back.

Other than that, I have a bit of an idea of how we can start with Kate and Logan. It involved Kate being in over her head with a villain that she can't compete with because they are a better fighter, and so the villain ends hurting Kate. I think it might be interesting if it was Sabretooth. He could end up stabbing Kate somehow, after all, he would be the better fighter than Kate. Logan comes in all geared up and saves her from becoming a flayed speedster.)
