Jim woke up to find himself in some sort of paradise. He noticed a lot of souls from the Enterprise, and as well as a few spirits from the USS Vengeance. Then he heard a familiar voice, one that made him whip around. He saw her and ran in her direction.

" Hey sis!" Serenity immediately spun to face him.

"Jim! What in the blazes are you doing here?! What happened!?"She shrieked in alarm.

"It's ok Seren, I surprisingly feel fine, " Jim assured her.

"Jim... You're dead," she said quietly. "How...did it happen?"

"Right after you left, some of the left over explosions got us, and we got pulled into Earth's atmosphere. The auxiliary power failed, and I went in to reset the function, sacrificing myself to save the rest of the crew, just like you would have done. I'm proud to be your brother, " Jim told her. He paused for a moment. "You said there was a way to bring you back, " Jim started.

"I said, should one be lucky enough to find the detailed scroll in Bones' office and follow it exactly correct, I may return, " Serenity corrected.

"Yeah, well, if Khan has your blood in him, Bones will find out. You and I both know that bastard is still alive. Bones is smart, he'll probably try to preserve my body long enough to inject me with Khan's blood. Once back, I can get that scroll and we can bring you back. Serenity, we still need you. We all do, even Spock, no matter whether he wants to admit it or not. We need you. I... need you, so... Can I at least try? " Jim asked. Serenity looked at her little brother.

"Alright. When you open Bones' office door, it's hidden in the wall safe behind the picture of the three of us at the academy."

Bones was unusually quiet. 15 minutes had passed, and not one word passed his lips. He had been waiting for the results on the dead tribble he had injected with Khan's blood, when he noticed two very alive tribbles, sitting on his desk. "Oh my god!" Suddenly, Bones burst into the main area of the med bay, and rushed over to Jim's dead body. "Somebody help me get him into a cryo tube! I think there's a way to bring him back, " he told Uhura and Taisa. His eyes went wide, almost in shock. "Khan's blood regeneration it's almost like nothing I've ever seen... except... just like... Serenity's... only... genetically... enhanced! Oh my god! Uhura, get Spock on the line! Tell him I need Khan alive!" He stated. Uhura raced to her station, and Taisa tried to get a hold of Anisha.

"He's not responding. Neither is Anisha! Someone needs to beam down!" Taisa called out.

" I'll go! Uhura volunteered. She ran to the transporter, and hurriedly beamed down.

Down on the surface, Anisha was using her assassin skills, while Spock fought tooth and nail, by using his vulcan strength and human anger against Khan. It seemed neither could seem to get an upper hand on Khan. Suddenly Uhura beamed down yelling at the two of them.

"STOP! We need him alive! His blood can save Jim!" Her warning distracted Khan enough for Anisha to kick him in the nuts. Spock nerve pinched him, and the four beamed up as Khan passed out. Bones took more blood from the passed out man before they put him in maximum security. After injecting Jim with Khan's blood, they waited nervously for two weeks.  They sighed with relief as Jim finally sat up.

"Hello Bones, Spock. You did it. Now let's get my sister back!"
