Previously:

"Ill hold her, you go ahead." The man who was picking up the groceries earlier said with a chuckle. Tears start rolling down my face as I stand there, helpless. The other man trying to find the zipper to my dress as I struggle to get away. ' if you need anything, just call' Khan's words replay in my head. I jerk my head to the side, removing my mouth from the mans hand.

" KHAN!" I shriek with all the power I had left in me. The man punched me, making the world go dark around me, but leaving enough conciseness for me to hear something jump down from a building, and feel the men being violently ripped off me. Causing me to slide down the brick wall, unconscious.

"River?"..... "River can you hear me?"

 My eyes flutter open as my whole body is being shaken, my ears are  ringing and my vision is blurry. 

"Are you okay? How badly are you injured?" 

My eyes begin to focus to see Khan kneeling in front of me with his hands on my shoulders. 

"Uhhh.. Ehum, ya..I think im okay." I say attempting to stand up, "What happened?" the concrete was welcoming me once more as my knees decided to give out.

"Whoa take it easy." Khan mumbles as he swoops me up bridal style before I hit the cement once more. I look up at him and smile, thankful that he was kind enough to not let me pass out again. I look around, starting to recall everything that happened. There was blood everywhere, and the bodies of my attackers slumped over in the corner tied up. I slowly look back over at Khan, looking him up and down...He was covered in blood as well.

"Khan? Wha- what happened to them?" I ask, my voice shaking. He looked down at me with an ice cold expression. 

"They are alive." 

"Khan. What happened?" I ask again, this time with more courage. He continued to stare at me, his expression softening, "Ill explain when we are safe on the ship again, okay?" I feel the beaming process start as we are transported back aboard the Botany Bay.

Beep...beeep...beep

"Your vitals seem to be fine, you do have a mild concussion from hitting your head against the way." Khan says quietly as he walks towards me. I re position myself on the exam table to face him, ready to get an explanation. 

"Okay, im fine and we are back on the ship. What happened?" Khan sighed as he sat down on the cold, metal table next to me.

"I was waiting in the alley way, making sure not to be noticed by any civilians while awaiting your arrival. I saw a ladder leading to a roof top and decided to take a quick look around when I heard you yelling. I followed the sound of your cries and jumped down from the roof top and removed those men from you." He states, feeling like that answer would satisfy me.

"No, what happened to the men Khan." Realizing that he would have to tell me at some point, he explained the whole story.

"I dragged both men off of you and slammed them into the brick wall, just as they had done to you. They put up a decent fight, but you and I both know that the human race is weak. It only took a few punches to their heads to knock them out. I was going to kill them, but I had bigger things to worry about then the lives of two idiots." 

He looked at me, his eyes were sad as he raised a hand up towards my face, brushing away my hair to expose a large cut from where I was slammed into the wall. He continued to examine it in silence as I take in all the information he had told me.

 "Tha- thank you, for rescuing me. And not killing them." I mumble as I lean my head into his hand that was still examining my wound and close my eyes, exhausted from today's events.  I never thought I would feel so safe with him. I feel myself slowing drifting off to sleep, my head still resting in Khan's hand. I feel his other hand move up the side of my face, causing me to lazily open my eyes. He was staring at my with his head tilted, looking confused but relaxed. I smile at him as I start to close my eyes again but was interrupted by his lips pressing against mine. His hands weaved their way through my hair as he pulled me in closer,  deepening the kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck, surprised by the random act of affection from Khan. He removed his hands from my head and cleared his throat as he stood up. Ending the kiss sooner than I would have liked.

"Goodnight River." He says quietly as he exited the room. Leaving me there, dazed and confused.
