Acts of Redemption: Star Trek Into Darkness AU (Lots of Khan!)

VENGEANCE

"Spock, it's not working," I cried. "The hit I took broke the firing controls. I can't navigate."

We were flying through space. It was terrifying and surreal. I felt so small, so empty, so alone, and yet not alone. Everything seemed to be moving slow and yet at the same time I seemed to be moving too fast. The sky seemed darker and the stars brighter. My body was weightless, which was exciting and completely terrifying.

I was lost in the amazement and fear of flying through space! That's why I wasn't paying attention and I heard Spock's warning far too late. I smacked into space debris. I was stunned but okay. However, the equipment used to propel me through space was damage.

"I can't navigate, Spock! I keep turning at abrupt and sharp angles."

"Miss King...there is nothing I can do from the Enterprise. Remain calm. Avoid exerting so much force on the controls."

"Spock, I tried. It's not working." I could see Kirk flying out of view. He was on course, I was the one flying away from the set destination. However he was ahead of me and hadn't see where I had gone when I hit the debris. Even if he did know where I was, it would be to dangerous for Kirk to turn around and come get me. I wouldn't risk the mission especially when I was already the reason we were all in danger. Khan had also hit debris and we lost communication with him. We had no idea where he was.

"Violet, you have to make another attempt to regain control."

"Spock, your voice is trembling! That can't be good."

"There is debris directly ahead."

"I can't navigate. It's not working. It's like the left and right controls are confused. Now they aren't working at all. Spock! I can't stop."

A large chunk of satellite was directly a head of me. "I can see the debris. Spock what is the mathematical probability of it killing me on impact going at this speed?"

"Violet, do not panic. Panicking will only result in--"

"Spock tell me!"

"At you current speed...There is a sixty percent chance that the impact will be immediately fatal."

"So...there is a thirty four percent chance that I could hit it and be terribly injured and left to slowly die in pain while floating through space." I was getting closer and closer and closer to the debris.

"Unfortunately...yes, Miss. King. But you will not be left floating through space. We will come after you so you may receive medical aide. "

"No. Spock. No one comes after me. I don't want them to be hurt trying retrieve my half dead body. I am sorry..." I was getting closer and closer, the debris was looking larger and far more menacing. "I am so sorry that I put you and everyone in trouble. Please tell that I am sorry. Please...forgive me." I closed my eyes and waited for the pain.

"Miss. King! Miss. King, do you read me?"

I couldn't respond. I surrendered to my fate.

"I forgive you, Miss.King?"

Fear had taken my voice, and that was worse surrender of all, even worse than surrendering to death.

Tightness wrapped around me. I felt arms grabbing me and pulling me in a new direction. I dared to open my eyes. I gasped.

"Spock, my firing controls are working. I have got Miss.King. We are redirecting our course to the Vengeance," I heard Khan say through our communicators.

As we got closer to the ship I started to doubt as to whether or not Scotty could get the door open in time.

I screamed.
