**** this chapter is based off of  Season 3 Episode 13 Déjà Q & Episode 15 Yesterday's Enterprise****

"Frightening one race after the other, teasing them like frightened animals, and you enjoying every moment of your victims fears"  Dezirae hears Guinan say as she walks into Ten Forward "from now on I'll do missionary work, okay?"  Q replies sarcastically "that would be a most noble cause, Q"  Data says as he walks over and stands behind his dark chocolate colored friend in red not catching Q's sarcasm "you could learn a lot from this one"  Guinan tells Q "sure, the robot who teaches the course in humanities"  Q replies keeping his sarcastic tone "I am an android, not a robot"  Data replies "I beg your pardon"  Q says "I'd enjoy that, and you'd better get used to it"  Guinan says to Q "what?"  Q asks "begging you're a pitiful excuse for a human the only way you're going to survive is by the charity of others"  Guinan replies "peppermint tea please"  they hear Dezirae say to the bartender(s) Q and Data look over at her as Guinan walks over to the bar and starts making her a non-simulated tea..... Guinan keeps a few specific herbs for her own pleasurable use that she gave her employees/co-workers permission to use for Dezirae when she needed them like times like these when Q is around for long periods of time.... as the bartenders place two trays of chocolate sundaes on the bar top "oh, I'm not hungry"  Q moans "just pass those around to who may want them.... no need for them to get wasted thanks Guin"  Dezirae says as she takes the cup of hot tea from her Guinan smiles at her then nods at the two bartenders who go to do as ordered and Data walks over to where Dezirae stands as she takes her first sip of her tea then says "hello Data"  Data replies "hello Dezirae"  he then notices that she seemed to "space out" as people would say and turn her body so that she now stares out of the large windows "we're about to have company...."  Dezirae says softly then she asks Guinan "do Calamarain's like ice cream sundaes!?... if they do they should be grateful Dea isn't here they'd be in for a fight"  Guinan smiles as she hides a chuckle and Data looks at her (Dezirae) oddly then he sees what she had sensed as a bright white light flows past then through the window and towards Q "what do you suppose he did to them!?"  Dezirae asks Guinan who replies "nothing good!"  Dezirae nods in agreement Data starts to rush over to Q who becomes engulfed in a white light but stops when he feels Dezirae gently grip his wrist and he turns to face her with an curious expression on his face "I don't want you getting hurt too"  she tells him he nods then stays put though his duty told him to help his "non-existent" heart told him to stay as Q cries out in fear as soon as the white light disappears Q falls to the floor and screams "help me! somebody, help me!"  Guinan walks over to him and says as she stares down at his helpless semi-frozen form "how the mighty have fallen"  Data looks at Dezirae "give it a few seconds just to make sure they have truly left his body"  Dezirae says he nods then asks "how is your headache?"  she replies "surprisingly soothed I think in harming him they helped me.... maybe because I had stopped you from helping him.... though I have no doubt it will return soon but I'm prepared"  she raises her tea cup and a small smile slides up the corner of his lips he notices a shimmer of concern flash before her eyes then disappear as quickly as it came and he wondered why she was concerned the danger was over.... wasn't it!?....

After leaving Ten Forward Dezirae returns to Engineering to help Geordi despite Data's insistence that she should rest "I got my tea.... which now has a spill-free cover I'll be fine besides I helped come up with the idea I should help see it through"  she tells him he gently kisses her lips making her blush then watches her walk away with a curious expression on his face that turned into a smile then he heads to the Bridge for a meeting of the minds with Q, Picard, Riker and Deanna.... Dezirae works inbetween Data and Geordi as they work with Q to work the basic Enterprise magic and pray to every god known and unknown that it works she walks around Geordi to take over for a very bored looking Q pushing his chair out of her way with a scoff as Q looks at her with an appalled shocked expression on his face "engage Field Coils Tractor Beam to stand by field output?"  Geordi says "2-17"  Dezirae replies "Impulse Engines to full ready to engage Tractor Beam"  Geordi says as he walks to the other side of the room with a smile on his face "lowering Shields engage Tractor Beam"  they hear Riker say into the com "extending Warp Field forward"  Geordi says "Engineering, is that the forward limit?"  they hear Picard ask through the comms "yes, Captain we are unable to encompass the entire moon"  Data replies "do you recommend that we proceed?"  Picard asks "the two parts of the moon will have different inertial densities"  Q says "stand by, Captain I can adjust the field symmetry to compensate"  Geordi says as turns and he watches Dezirae start what he just said he would do which makes his smile grow "I doubt it"  Q replies "you don't know what this ship can do, Mister"  Geordi replies then he asks Dezirae with a smile "you really have learned haven't you!?"  she replies "I had some really good teachers"  he walks over to see just how good she did and says into the com  "yes, Captain, I still believe it'll work increasing power and Warp Field and Tractor Beam"  he pats his friends shoulder and she moves over so he can take over the controls she was working on as Q says "and if you're wrong, the moon will crumble due to subspace compression don't say I didn't warn you"  Geordi replies "shut up, Q"  Q says as he stands up and stares into Geordi's visor "I will not be spoken to in this manner!"  Dezirae narrows her eyes at him making him clamp his lips shut like they were super glued together and sit back down with a hint of fear in his eyes "inertial mass of the moon is decreasing to approximately two point five million metric tonnes"  Data says going from watching the change in Q just by a simple look from the woman he may indeed love to the control panel he was working on as Geordi walks back over to the other side with a smile on his face "it's working we can move it firing Impulse Engines"  Geordi says softly "Captain, the moon's trajectory has moved point 3% point 4%"  Data says into the comms then he hears Dezirae whisper as she looks up at the ceiling and around the room "this isn't good!"  he looks at her oddly then they hear Riker order into the com "disengage Tractor Beam"  then they feel the ship shake and Data grips Dezirae's shoulder to help keep her steady as the alarm sounds "Captain, the impact of the blast is pushing us into the upper atmosphere"  Geordi says into the com and Data goes back to his controls and says "Hull temperature rising-- 2,000 degrees 2,500 degrees"  Geordi says "moving to full Impulse power"  Dezirae looks at Q and says as the ship shakes once more as it gets hit again and a bright blinding light shines around them "you have a choice Q.... die with the rest of us or come up with a "masterful" plan and play hero perhaps if you do the latter rather than the former your people might allow you "back into the fold" as they say"  Q raises an eyebrow at her "and before you claim that I care about your ignorant ass I like the rest of us would rather have you off this ship the quicker the better but if you must die then you must die!"  she adds and he frowns "I HATE you Q I have ALWAYS hated you and no amount of heroics you do for your own personal gain will make me change my heart"  she tells him Geordi and Data look at her in shock Q on the other hand looked heartbroken "Geordi, can you direct any more power to the Shields?"  they hear Riker ask through the com "we need all the power we have to get out of the atmosphere, Commander"  Geordi replies the bright light of the Calamarain's surround Q who had stood up when he heard them whisper and he tries to bat them away as he walks backwards while saying "ah! ah! ah! get off! no, no, no, no, no!"  Data starts to rush over to him to try and help him once more and just like last time Dezirae stops him this time instead of gripping his wrist she grips his hand "try activating the Structural Integrity Field"  Geordi orders one of his officers who replies as she passes by him "yes sir"  Q's body gets raised high into the air "I know he's pissed you off as he does to everyone he meets but we have done nothing to you so if you wouldn't mind taking this some place else before you become just like him and kill many innocent people.... not that he's killed anyone.... to my knowledge anyway!"  Dezirae calls out muttering the last 2 parts as Geordi says "it's not working Structural Field Harmonics on manual"  they hear Riker say into the com "La Forge Hull temperature falling we're in the clear"  Geordi replies "diverting power to Forward Sections now"  Q falls down onto the floor unconscious....
