Jones, A Star Trek Soap

2 Poison

Bones carried Jenny to her room, cursing all the way.

He had given her a shot of some unknown drink. It had knocked her unconscious in under a minute.

Her body hung limply like a stone in his arms. Her black hair that was always tied in a thick plait slapped against his waist every so often as he walked.

Her uniform was a standard First Officer specimen. Blue shirt. Dark trousers.

Bones pushed open the door to her room and laid her gently on the bed.

She was unconscious. Completely and utterly.

Jenny's slim body sprawled across the bed with her mouth open would have been comical except for the scars revealed as her top bunched up.

Bones' eyes widened at the pale stripes starting from just above her belly button running across her midriff towards her back.

'What the hell happened to you?' He whispered, reaching over and smoothing her shirt down gently.

There was a knock and the door opened.

'Jenny?'

'Shhhhh!' Bones scowled.

Jim tiptoed in. 'Bones?? What are you doing here? What happened?'

'I got her to try a drink and it knocked her out.' Bones sighed.

The two friends stood side by side, watching the slumped figure.

'She's pretty easy on the eyes.' Jim remarked.

Bones poked him in the ribs. 'Why are you here?'

'I came to see if I could talk to her.' Jim said, slightly offended.

'Talk or bang?' Bones said in a rather snide way, his eyes narrowing.

'I would have no objections to either option.' He wiggled his eyebrows.

Bones sighed. Jim Kirk was a known womaniser.

'Get out. She needs rest.'

'Alright fine. Want her for yourself?' Jim winked.

Bones shoved him out the door and locked it.

After grabbing a pillow off the bed, he pulled a quilt around himself and lay on the floor to wait.

Morning came.

Jenny woke up suddenly. She stretched her limbs, feeling sweaty.

She swung her legs off the bed and would have gone into the bathroom, except she tripped over McCoy, sleeping on the floor.

Jenny crashed onto him, screaming.

He woke up in a hurry, and scrambled away from her.

'What the heck are you doing in here?!' Jenny yelled.

'I was just making sure you were ok you crazy woman!' Bones yelled back.

She calmed down. 'Sorry. What happened last night exactly?'

'I gave you a drink that was a little too strong.' He admitted.

'No harm done.' She grinned and then winced. 'Except my headache...eesh.'

'I'll be going then.' He smiled softly and went in to kiss her cheek.

She turned her head at the wrong moment, causing Bones to accidentally peck her lips.

She went bright red and fled to the bathroom.

Bones heard the lock click. He slipped away, flushing. Real smooth Leonard you idiot.
