Rating: PG-13
Characters: Christopher Pike, Jim Kirk, Leonard McCoy
Previous Sections: Part 1, Part 2
Word Count: 4,776 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."
Also... I added a whole extra section. I'm in the process of writing and editing it. Yeah, I couldn't resist. So, McCoy's point of view here, and tomorrow, we get Jim's perspective, and finally, yes, back to Pike. Full circle.
From the previous installment:
He studied her for a long moment, then narrowed his eyes. "I don't like flying."
She shrugged. "I don't like doctors."
They stared at each other for a long moment, then McCoy stuck his hand out. "I appreciate the conversation," he said simply.
"Thank you for patching up our cadet." She shook his hand briefly, then turned on her heel and walked out the door.
*********
( Leonard watched her leave. His stomach felt tight and hollow at once, and he was grateful that his shift was over because there was no way he could handle seeing another patient that night. He was numb and detached, because if he wasn’t, he would seriously be considering the goddamned asinine suggestion that the snippy little Starfleet officer had thrown at him. )
