Starstruck (Star Trek/Khan FanFic) - Under Editing

Love Trip

Khan raced into the room and knelt beside Marie, taking his hand in hers. Marie stared wide-eyes at her long lost love, caught for a moment in the logistics of how he could be at her side when there was no way Starfleet would have unfrozen him, but she ignored the unpleasant thought because Khan, the love of her life, was at her side. She tried to open her mouth to say something to him, but all that came out was mumbles. She was having trouble finding the right words and placing them in order in her mind. Her tongue refused to take the shape of the letters she needed to express her feelings. Khan shushed her and helped her sit up.

"I'm getting you out of here"

With superhuman strength, Khan pulled Marie into his arms, as he didn't trust her wobbly limbs to hold her upright. Marie wormed her way onto the ground, placing her for some reason bare feet on the concrete and flying away at unusual superhuman speeds. She could feel Khan behind her as they raced out into a courtyard. The colors were incredibly vibrant, the green grass was so bright it hurt Marie's eyes and the sky was so blue that it burned. Khan was suddenly at her back, hands on her waist and turning her in the direction he wanted her to go. There were deafening shouts of security guards all around her, coming from every which way. Khan was shouting too, gesturing wildly for Marie to go with him to what he believed was safety. Marie obliged and took his hand as he pulled her down a hallway and into a closet. It was dark, so dark that Marie could feel the inky blackness dripping down her face, threatening to get into her eyes and forever stain them the color of the night. And suddenly, she felt a pressure on her lips. Khan was kissing her with all the pent up passion that had been locked inside him since he had been out to sleep. Marie slid her arms around his neck and kissed him back, full of an anxious passion and the fear that he would be taken away from her again. After their moment of undisturbed bliss, Khan and Marie raced back into the fray. They fought bravely through the soldiers and out to the entrance of the building.

"Marie, do you trust me?"

Marie nodded, trying to say something encouraging to the man of her dreams, but she was still tongue tied.

"Marie, we need to surrender. We have to give ourselves up"

Marie shook her head furiously, she didn't want to go back to her empty room and be alone again.

"It's the only way. These people are dangerous and we have nowhere else to go"

A tear fell from Marie's eye.

"I know, you don't want to lose me again, but I'll always love you Marie. I'll be inside your heart, as a part of you"

Marie's whole body started to shake, she was practically convulsing with sobs. Pain wracked her body, causing her to shriek and fall to her knees. Khan pressed one last kiss to her forehead before turning to face the opening doors to the building and raise his hands above his head. The security guards burst through and pointed their weapons at Marie and Khan. Marie turned and looked once more at Khan, before she felt the bullet from the gun of an especially angry guard pierce her chest.
