Mission-02.5-An Marine, a wedding, a prisoner, and a sad good-by

Private Recovery Room l USS Veroto-A
Kira sat by Danny's bed her eyes closed all the stress of the
day had worn on her. Her ears perked as she heard him stir.
“Danny”
“Ma'am.” Danny said groggily. “I'm sorry.”
“Sorry for what?” she stood up and moved closer to him shielding
him from seeing Lela. “How are you feeling?” She didn't have the
heart to tell him about Lela who was recovering a few beds down.
“I'm sorry for failing my part of the mission. They fired on
Civilians, and I helped several escape. During the process, I
turned my back here I am....As for how I'm feeling, Kinda like a
Jellyfish at the moment, except with better meds.”
Kira gave a small smile, “Danny you did what anyone would have
done in that situation, but your alive and your going to be
fine.” She said softly.
“I hope so. I'm too young to retire to the FVA,” He said, “And
we need to talk about something.”
“What about?” Kira asked making sure to keep herself between
Danny and Lela she didn't want him upset.
“Lieutenant Commander Frost.” Danny said, taking a deep breath,
which hurt a lot more than it should have. “I wish to make a
formal complaint to his Commanding Officer.”
“First off, he is just Commander Frost now, but what did my son
do now?” She asked sighing.
“Disrespecting a superior commissioned officer. Just after we
made landfall, I pulled the Commander and Commodore Tellok
aside. Commander Frost was, by your order, the expedition
leader, but I reminded the Commodore and Commander that
Starfleet Regulations state in combat situations the Senior
Officer is to assume command, the Senior Officer present being
Commodore Tellok, the 2nd Officer of USS Veroto. Commander Frost
pointed out correctly that Commodore Tellok's emotional state
would comprimise the mission were he to assume command...” Danny
stopped, looked down, and then straightened up as much as he
could. “After that, he rather impolitely told me that if I
'wanted', I could 'try' to Countermand the Fleet Admiral's
Orders and bring court martial charges upon myself, and
suggested that I should perhaps stay with the shuttle and write
a report.”
Kira sighed again this time frustration boiling up. “Damnit, I
will have a chat with him. That is unacceptable.” Kira moved
away forgetting about shielding him from Lela and growled. “I
will see to it that this is taken care of General you have my
word I wont go easy on him just because he is my son.” Kira told
him her hands moving to her face as she rubbed her eyes.
“Thank you, Ma'am. I appreciate it. Perhaps a stint as my friend
Colonel Westover's apprentice might do the lad some good.” Danny
said with a smile. Tom was a notoriously strict commander, which
was part of the reason why the UFPMC Commandant's son was in his
unit. Danny looked away for a minute and saw Lela, and his heart
sank. “What in the hell happened to her?” Danny said. He tried
to get up, but he still couldn't move his legs.
Kira hurried over and gently pushed Danny down restraining him.
“She....” Kira looked over at her daughter then back to Danny.
“Baj's father got a hold of her. He... He hurt her pretty bad...
She was pregnant but he.. I'm sorry Danny, the baby didn't make
it. Abby has to keep her sadated for the time being shes in
rough shape he did some nasty things to her that I don't want to
repeat so please don't make me” Kira looked away tears filling
her eyes.
Danny gasped. All his years of military training, all the
conditioning he'd been through to accept that bad things
happened to people who didn't deserve it, couldn't supress the
General's feelings now. His love was laying unconscious, just
out of reach, and he had just learned his unborn child had been
murdered. The General's emotions flew from rage to anguish and
back again a dozen times in the span of just a moment, and the
emotional distress, combined with the medication made Danny lose
it, and he began to weep.
Kira moved closer to Danny she wanted to comfort him but didn't
know how, “He's dead Danny, Baj killed him, hes dead.” Kira said
her hand on his shoulder restraining but also trying to comfort
him. “She needs you right now Danny, shes going through hell.
You need each other.”
“Can you have Abby move her bed closer to mine? I want to be
there for her when she wakes.” He said through the sobs and
tears.
“Yes, I think we can arrange that, but I don't think she will be
waking anytime soon, not till her body has healed.. Her father..
in his blood lust attacked her, Joseph was able to subdue him
but they all are pretty beat up from the fight. Us vampires and
our thrist for blood” she shook her head.
“Don't suppose I'll ever understand you Vampires fully,” Danny
said, “But I think it'll help her to have me here when she
wakes...Please tell me she wasn't wearing comm gear?”
“She was, she wasn't coherent enough for me to tell her that you
were still alive she kept repeating that you were dead and it
was her fault” Kira looked over at Lela again. “I think when she
sees you are alright it will calm her down a little. But she is
going to need a lot of counseling after what that sick son of a
bitch did to her” Kira had tried to hold the anger from her
voice but couldn't now. “I will speak to abby about waking her
soon so that she can see you are alright.”
“Alright, thank you, Ma'am.” Danny said. “I presume the ship is
out of danger?”
“...Yes... But umm... Well we caught the spies and they have
been taken care of.... but the marine deck is... the marine deck
was blown to hell.” Kira said wincing a little.
“Those bastards. Good thing you got them. I've been studying
Ancient Klingon rites of torture...”
“They got theirs Danny, we have crews working full time and
Colonel Starkos has been working around the clock taking care of
things, she has been doing a very good job.”
“Wait, Colonel Fluffy?” Danny said. “How long have I been
asleep?”
“A few days, we are on the way back to Starbase Licentia and
then I need to take a shuttle to Earth to secure a...” Kira
stopped for a second, he had already had enough bad news..
“Praxis has been arrested, I am going to Earth to have him
released into my custody”
“Why...” Danny asked...”No....I'll read the report myself..”
“I'm sorry Danny, a lot has happened the past few days, I will
make sure the report is made avaliable to you but after I bring
Praxis back to the ship I have to leave on a deep undercover
mission with Lt Kilmore and Commodore Frost, will you be able to
handle taking up the XO position while we are gone?”
“Yeah, I got this” he nodded.

Private Recovery Room l USS Veroto-A
Kira heard Lela stir behind her and she turned hurring over to
restrain her if she started freaking out again. “Lela easy honey
it me.” she said placing a hand on Lela's shoulder.
“Mom?” Lela said drowsy, “Oh god mom” she said as everything
came flooding back to her. “Danny, oh god hes..”
“I'm right here, Lela.” Danny said, calmly.
Lela turned her head and looked at him tears welled in her eyes,
“But the comm, I heard... you went down.. No one said anything,
I thought you were dead” she started to sob.
Kira picked Lela up and carried her over to the chair beside
Danny's bed. “I'll give you too some privacy” she said and
hurried away to speak with Abby.
“Lela, I'm not sure what happened after I was hit. I remember
Syn calling that I was down, I think she activated the emergency
transport system and beamed me here.” He said, “I...How did you
get down there?”
“How do I always get on away missions I am not supposed to be
on” Lela looked down, “It's my fault I heard you were taking
fire, I should have come to you instead of going after my
grandfather.” she leaned her head against his arm.
“Lela, it's not your fault. I turned around to make sure some
civilians got out of the line of fire. When I did, I exposed
myself to incoming fire. It's nothing you did, and there's
probably nothing you could have done.” He said, mentally kicking
himself for the bad timing.
“I should have come to you though, instead I got myself
captured, tortured.... and our baby killed” she sobbed quietly.
“Oh god Danny I screwed up big time.”
“You didn't screw up, Darling, you were trying to help. And you
didn't know you were pregnant, either, so don't beat yourself up
for that. Besides, that guy was a sadistic fuck and I hope he
died a slow and agonizing death.”
“Our baby.. or baby is dead” she cried her whole body shaking
she was on the verge of a break down again. Her body still ached
her hand went to her stomach she wanted so badly to take it all
back. She may not have been ready for a baby but finding out she
had in fact been pregnant and then had it ripped away from her
was beyond agony. “He's dead, my dad killed him tore him to
pieces.”
Danny held both Lela's hands...it was the closest he could get,
since he couldn't move from the biobed. “We'll get through this
together, I promise.”
Lela moved up and laid beside him on the bio bed her head
resting on his chest, “What happened to you anyway and how long
have I been out?” Lela asked.
“We've both been out a few days...I got shot in the back and the
leg. The reconstruction of the leg was fairly easy, but the
rumor is Dr. Locktight had to regrow a spine for me. The
ablative armor plating kept the shot from killing me, but it
still did a number on me.”
“That explains why you haven't gotten up whats the prognosis?”
Lela asked.
Kira walked back over having heard Lela's question, with her she
brought a hover chair. “He can go home but he has to be back
tomorrow, your going to have to learn how to walk again. I have
arranged quarters for you on deck 4 I knew you would want to be
together since your quarters were destroyed on the marine deck.
“Destroyed what the hell are you talking about?” Lela demanded.
Kira looked over at Danny “You didn't tell her? The spies blew
up the marine deck you and Dannys quarters were blown to high
hell come on Danny let me help you into the hover chair” Kira
moved over to help him sit up.
Danny had always wondered what it would be like to get floated
around everywhere...now he hated the idea of it. Kira lifted
Danny up and set him in the chair, catching Danny alittle off
guard. He was glad, at least, that someone had seen fit to put a
pair of scrub pants on him. “Alright, let's see what this thing
can do.” Danny said, moving the chair forwards, backwards, side
to side, and spinning it around. “It's a touch sluggish, but I'm
sure I can talk to Gary or Baj about fitting some extra power to
this thing.”
Lela watched Danny and her heart sank, how was she going to be
able to help him like that and take care of him when her own
body was so damn sore. “What am I chopped liver, I helped design
the ship remember hold still” Lela moved over and took the back
off the chair she looked inside, “I see your problem” she ripped
something out and closed the back “Try it now”
“Who in their right mind put a restrictor plate on this thing?”
Danny glanced at Kira, with a fecetiously accusing look on his
face.
“Not me I am dumb as a door nail when it comes to these things,
however someone I may or may not be married to who I may or may
not have asked to help me in a prank I may or may not have
pulled is besides the point” Kira grinned.
“Say that again when the drugs wear off.” Danny said, his head
still spinning slightly from the synthetic opioid painkillers
Abby had administered.
“No, I am hoping you will forget I even mentioned it” Kira
laughed.
“Mom can I call you if I need any help?” Lela asked she was
standing behind Danny and looked down at him as if saying she
didn't think she could take care of him alone.
Kira nodded, “Sure Lela, Danny call me if either one of you need
anything” She looked at them both and gave a small smile.

“Admiral we have the USS Fearless dropping out of warp and
coming along side asking permission to dock with us.”
“Acknowledge them and begin docking procedures.” Kira said “I'll
be at the docking hatch”
Kira arrived at the docking hatch as it opened standing before
her was her Eldest living daughter. Kira had adopted her when
she was 3. Jazmyn had been crying and looked like she was barely
hanging in there by a thread.
“Mom! Praxis, he didn't do what they are saying he did.” Jazmyn
had Alexis at her side the little 2 year old looked so confused
by everything.
“It's okay Jazmyn I am trying to get him released to my custody
but it's a lot of red tape” Kira said picking her grand daughter
up and putting an arm around her daughter. “He will be alright,
I have a friend looking into the charges we will get the charges
dropped you just have to hang in there baby”
“Oh god mom, what if we can't. They say there is a strong case
against him he is Tom's commanding officer.” Jazmyn was furious
with Tom if he weren't dead already she would have murdered him
herself.
“Calm down Jazmyn, you can't think like that.” Kira soothed.
“Admiral, sorry to interrupt.”
Kira looked up to the voice, “Major General Hale” Kira let go of
her daughter for a second to shake the General's hand.
“Thank you for allowing me this honor of bestowing Lela's
commission she is a special woman and she will make a great
marine.” Isabelle, she had visibly saddened at the mention of
Tom. A few days before his death she had started to develop a
relationship with the man and he been nothing but affectionate
and sweet to her.
“No thank you General, after what has happened to her as of late
this will I think help her.” Kira said, “We are set up on the
recreation deck.” Kira caught site of Praxis father. “Jack” she
said extending her hand. “Hows retirement?”
Jack shook her hand and chuckled, “It was going good until my
sons decided they wanted to try and give me a coronary,” He said
with a smile. “Please tell me you've been keeping Danny boy in
line, Ma'am?”
Kira chuckled, “In line? Obliviously Danny hasn't told you hes
sleeping with my other daughter, he is currently keeping Lela
busy while we set this all up as a surprise.”
“I heard he had a girlfriend, but just in passing. Honestly, the
last I heard from either of my sons was the notice that Danny
was wounded and Jazmyn calling to tell me Praxis got perp-walked
off Leatherneck.”
“Your sons seem to have a liking for my daughters” Kira nodded
at then mention of Danny's injury. “To be honest Danny is
frustrated trapped in a hover chair having to rely on Lela to
help him around. Luckily shes a strong girl and can lift him. As
for Praxis I am working to have your son released into my
custody while we work on his case. Tell me Jack do you think he
Praxis is guilty of what they say?”
“No, my son isn't like that” Jack fiercly.
Kira nodded, “Then I will do everything in my power to have him
freed.”
“Thank you Admiral” Jack said.
“Jack, we're family, call me Kira” she smiled a little. “I have
to go get changed, you wanna take them to the Rec deck Jazmyn?”
“Sure, see you soon” Jazmyn kissed her mothers cheek and walked
away with the others in tow..
Kira walked to her quarters her dress uniform was already laid
out Gary was finishing up getting ready there son was dressed in
a cute little suit.
“Aww look at mommy's handsome boy” she said kneeling down and
hugging John.
“Mommy!” he squealed.
“You gonna be a good boy?”
John nodded.
“I know you are” she kissed his forehead and ruffled his ears.
Kira kissed Gary then walked into the bathroom and removed her
black skin tight uniform and started to pull on her dress
uniform. There were so many damn medals that they were heavy and
she didn't even wear half of them. Once her uniform was on she
let her hair down and brushed it then pulled it back up in a
tight bun.
When she was finished she walked back out to her husband and son
“Ready?” she asked.
Gary nodded and picked up John throwing him on his back. John
let out a squeal of delight he loved piggy backs.
They walked in silence to the marine deck well at least Kira and
Gary did, John talked away the two adults adding a word or two
when required.
On the rec deck Kira looked around “You guys have a front row
seat there's Jack and Jazmyn” Kira pointed then took to the
stage where General Hale stood waiting.

Danny needed Lela's help pulling on the blue pants of his dress
uniform, and getting his shoes on. Once in the hover chair, he
was able to get the black jacket on, and made sure his medals
and badges were precisely in place. The Marine Corps Officer's
Dress Blues resembled the Starfleet Dress Whites, except that
the trousers were blue, with red blood stripes, and the jacket
was black, with gold pipping. Danny's medals and badges hung
below his commbadge on his left brest. The General grabbed the
white Combination Cover, with felt brim and gold decorations and
elaborately braided gold chinstrap and placed it on his head.
Danny hovered over to the replicator and ordered coffee for
himself and Lela, and brought it back to the table, and the two
gossipped for a while, Danny dodging Lela's questions about the
Dress Uniform. "If I have to ride in this damned contraption,"
He said finally, "I might as well look good." He said, smiling.

Jason was getting a bit frustrated that he had overslept and
missed Syn before she walked out their quarters. he made sure
his dress uniform was on straight before adding his pips and
walked out to meet up with everyone else. He looked himself in
the mirror and smiled. "showtime" he said leaving out the door
heading for the turbolift. He began to whistle to himself as he
walked in. "recreation deck" he said as the computer
acknowledged his request and headed for what he thought would be
a fun time with the rest of the crew.

Lela and Danny's temporary Quarters l USS Veroto-A
Lela sat back sipping her coffee she didn't like being blocked
and in the dark on what was going on. Danny wouldn't have put on
his dress uniform unless something was up but her mother was
shielding his thoughts from her. "Danny, when the marine deck is
fixed.... I think we should just move in together. Save space,
free up quarters." she said looking down she was to afried to
tell him she didn't want to be alone that she didn't trust
herself alone. A lot of thoughts had been running through her
head lately ranging from suicide to just inflicting pain to
getting drunk until she passed out.

Danny thought about it for a moment. "I like that idea. I'll
have to clear it with your mother, first. It's my deck, but it's
her ship." He said. He took another sip of his coffee, looking
out the window, right at the massive form of the USS Fearless.
"My god, that's a big ship." He said, moving to the window.
Fearless was 300 meters longer than Veroto, and nearly twice as
tall, easily the largest ship in Lima Fleet.

Joseph's Quarters l USS Veroto-A
Jenna looked in the mirror at her dress uniform and shifted a
little she hated it, it made her skin itch and felt to tight.
She smoothed it out before turning to see Joseph staring at her.
She shielded her thoughts from him she didn't want him to know
that she was pregnant. She knew if she told him now that he
wouldn't let her go, that he would tell his mother and Kira
would never let her leave for the undercover mission but Jenna
had to go for the good of the Federation. "Hey, how you
feeling?" She asked him. Her side ached and she moved carefully
trying not to wince in pain.

down again. She knew she needed to pretend to be okay at least
pretend that she wasn't hurting as badly as she really was,
Danny needed her. "I think I am going to go head down to the
Marine Deck help clearing debris and make repairs they could
probably use my engineering expertise." She said getting to her
feet, just sitting here was driving her crazy she needed
something to keep her mind busy.
