STAR TREK IMAGINES

Captain James T. Kirk

It all started one day, in an antique car on another dirt road in Iowa.
Jim Kirk, someone who I had only met once or twice drove past me in his step-dads car, stopping when he saw me
"Wanna go for a joy-ride?" He popped the door open, trying to look cool.
"Why not" I didn't even think as I hopped into the car nor did I realize everything that was about to happen.
After that we began to hang out more, it started with us walking together after school and as we got older moved to going to the academy together.
Jim and I both wanted to be captains, so I decided to try the normal way, Jim being Jim cheated the first chance he got.
A year after he was made captain of the enterprise I got my own ship, the USS Impulse.
The Ship wasn't much compared to the enterprise but she was my ship, thank god Jim and I are close enough friends because he did not hesitate to rub that in my face every chance he got.
With both of us as captains, and Jim going on his five year mission surprisingly we kept in touch pretty well.
We were talking again, in our respective quarters Jim was telling me about how everything was calm today on his end, We were chatting about making plans for us to visit in person some time but I was quickly cut off by the ding of my communicator.
"I got to go Jim, love you"
"Bye, love you too"
I got changed right after I was told I was needed on the bridge.
I didn't waste anymore time getting to the bridge and I'm glad I didn't.
Sitting down in the captains chair I listened to every word
"Ma'am the vessel is not responding to any friendly frequency"
"They're scanning our ship"
I put my hands out to silence everyone as voices began to pile on top of each other.
I watched the main viewer as what seemed like thousands of little spikes began to head our direction
"Shields up! Red alert!" Lights began to flash red, and the all to familiar siren rang out across the ship.
Within minutes We began to rock violently as we attempted to evade and attack.
In the back of my head I knew what had to be done, not that I wanted to do it the sooner it happened perhaps I could save more of my crew mates lives.
"We extreme damage to the hull captain!"
"I'm getting reports of people being attacked on Decks 6,10,14,and 30 captain!"
We had to yell at each other to be heard over the noise, I was trying to respond as I desperately clung onto my chair.
"Warp us out of here!"
As he reached for the lever I felt my heart drop to my stomach when nothing happened, he tried again, and again to no avail
"Why aren't we warping out of here!"
"I've got nothing, there's absolutely no power to the warp drive"
"Impulse Engines?!"
I tried again, we are supposed to know what to do in these kind of situations but it always turns into a guessing game.
"Nothing, we're sitting ducks ma'am"
I wasn't going to show it, a captain should be brave for their crew but on the inside I was about to break down.
"Sound the Alarm! Abandon ship, I will stay behind and divert all power to the shuttle bay"
They all looked at each other, all asking the same question without saying it
"I'm ordering you to abandon this ship!"
That seemed to kick them into gear and the alarm sounded, within minutes everyone was filing out of the room.
Once the door closed I ran over to the navigation console, about to activate autopilot to head straight into the mothership, when I heard the one thing you don't want to hear as a captain
"The autopilot function has been destroyed, manual pilot only" the female voice of the computer echoed
I ran my hands through my hair, one sacrifice is all it would take and my crew would be safe, one sacrifice and I could die an honorable captain.
I sat back down in the captains chair when my thoughts when back to Mr. Perfect hair
"Jim can you hear me?"
I opened a communications link, hoping that he would answer
"Yeah I can hear you y/n"
I felt tears in my eyes as the computer spoke again
"20 seconds to impact"
"I just wanted to make sure I tell you how much I miss you and I love you, how thankful I am to have been your best friend"
"Is something wrong y/n, you're scaring me" he tried to laugh it off a little bit
"10 seconds to impact"
"Nothings wrong, I just wanted to tell you I love you Jim, thank you"
Everything went black quickly as my ship collided with the other ship.
