Rating: PG-13
Characters: Christopher Pike, Jim Kirk, Leonard McCoy
Previous Sections: Part 1
Word Count: 4,512 in this section.
Summary: Christopher Pike wasn't supposed to be in Iowa, but there he was, weighing his future against scales that would never balance. Jim Kirk had given up on his future long ago. Leonard McCoy's past had been pulled out from underneath him, and he was ready to let his future go with it. Paths converge in the least likely places as three people realize that their futures are what they make of them.
Notes: This was a partial collaboration with![[info]](https://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
fiona_fawkes , who brainstormed the details of this with me and beta'd. Also thanks to nikki4noo and mintcloud for beta assistance! This fic can be read on its own, but it also ties in directly to the fanfic universe I created in "And All the King's Men."
From the previous installment:
Slowly, Kirk reached up and leaned one hand against the doorframe, but his back remained so rigidly upright that it looked ready to snap. He turned around, regarding Pike narrowly out of his less-swollen eye. Finally, he said flatly, "Call me Jim."
Without another word, but with the implied invitation for Pike to follow, Kirk walked back out into the main room of the bar. He grabbed one of the chairs that had been pushed to the side of the room and dragged it to a table. He waved for a beer from the barkeep as he sat down heavily, and looked up at Pike. “What do you need to know?”
Pike looked at him for a long moment, grabbed a chair, and sat down.
And now the continuation...
