Maybe Not Your Typical Kind of Entrance

With much force, a door blew off its hinges and collided with the concrete, making a loud sound as an unconscious red haired woman fell forward somewhere next to it.

Her forehead was bleeding a little. A nasty gash on her arm was starting to heal up by itself as a second sentience inside her had chosen to take over and give her nanotech a little boost in the regenerated of damaged tissue and muscles.

The sentience inside her chosen vessel had decided to take over for now, opening Mari's eyes that began to glow white. She could feel Mari's pain, and knew that she wasn't going to awaken anytime soon. She might have a concussion. She needs help, and shelter...

Mari, I am sorry, but I cannot bring you home. It's much too dangerous! Vertigo would only weaken you again. I won't allow it. We won't want her to get inside your head.


Carefully, she moved Mari's legs and arms, helping her vessel to stand. Looking around, and using Mari's voice, this life and power source of another, a sentient Nexus began to open Mari's mouth. She had no voice of her own, and had no choice but to take over and seek help.

"Is there someone out there? Please! I seek sanctuary! My companion is hurt, and she needs a place to rest." She will forgive me. She will understand. She /must/.

You know what's great about the Nexus? You can go on a walk dang near anywhere and there's always something new to see. And with the anti-violence field in place, not a ting to worry about--CRASH BANG

"What the ff--?!"

A blonde in a military looking uniform dove behind one of the Nexus couches as the door blew off it's hinges. Expecting an attack of some kind, he raised up again, an eerily glowing weapon in his hands drawn and pointed.

And then retracted. Shit. There was a red haired lady passed out on the floor.

"Oh man--Hold on lady!" The captain is over in a second, nearly ready to pick her up when she opens her eyes. For the second time in less than a minute the blonde jumped. "Hey? Hey can you hear me? Where's your companion? You're hurt bad enough, okay. Calm down. Let me help you there. Lean on me."

Okay there was one of two explanations running through Jim's mind right now. One, this lady is talking the absolute truth and whatever alien thing living in her is sentient and speaking for the human and itself. Or two, this is the craziest delusional concussion talk he has ever heard. And Jim Kirk is not sure which one it is right now.

Not that it really mattered at the moment. The phaser is safely tucked away at his side as he supports as much of her weight as she'll let him--hobbling them away from said explosion that was once a door.

"Mari huh. S'a nice name. Jim Kirk. You're pretty banged up. We'll get you taken care of right quick. No worries." A quick check behind them confirmed that nothing dangerous had followed this lady from the doorway. That was a plus, if nothing else. He'll get her over to an undamaged Nexus couch and ease her onto it.

"Wait here just a second." Jim's quick to dart off and quick to return, a slim grey box in hand. First aid kit. He'll pull sterilize both gashes first, check her over with the mini-tricorder inside. The the dermaregenerator is held over the gash on her head and her arm, sealing both wounds up. It's not quite as clean as a medic could do, but she's not bleeding and it probably won't scar.

The man doesn't talk while he works and only seems to respond once he's done with triage.

"The regenerator won't work on that bump you took, but I've managed to stop the bleeding at least....How are you feeling. Mari, was it?"
smartass_captain: (Not so sure about this)

"Just Jim is fine." He flashes Mari a quick grin before putting away everything in the first aid kit he'd brought over form his world some time before. It's almost like Captain Kirk knows what kind of trouble he's known for getting himself into.

With the woman's immediate health concerns out of the way, JIm is forced to face the elephant in the room. Or rather, whatever it was he was talking to in this lady's body.

"So...you aren't Mari." Jim seems a bit confused by this. "She is Mari. The lady I patched up. But whoever is talking...isn't. That's....probably rather jarring for her, to have something using her body while she's out." Jim leans away slightly.

He's not put off by this. Not exactly. But it's probably an invasion of some sort of privacy to get all chummy with a lady who isn't even in control of her body at the moment. She's going to be really scared when she comes to.

"I'll go get her a blanket, sec." Jim trots off again and comes back with a rather soft looking cushion and a blanket. "Here, she can use these and rest up. I'll do some paperwork over here or something. Keep an eye on you. Her. You two."

Okay this was kind of weird.
smartass_captain: (You're kidding right)

"Hey, hey. no need to be sad. You got her away from an attack, brought her somewhere safe. And we even stopped the bleeding. You don't have to defend your actions. Do you have a name? I'mma have to make one up if you won't tell me."

Jim gives the sentience a reassuring smile.

"You're both safe here. You did good."
smartass_captain: (Wut)

[personal profile] smartass_captain 2015-10-11 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"N-Two?" Jim does look a bit confused. She was the Nexus? A nexus, rather. "So...you're..."

He doesn't really understand, but then again, he doesn't really need to. N-Two saved her friend, brought her here, and now she's safe. Both of them are safe.

That's all the important bits.

"Well, you can go look for them once Mari here has recovered."
smartass_captain: (To Boldly Go)

[personal profile] smartass_captain 2015-10-13 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hurray, N-Two (Or N2 as Jim has already taken to labeling her. It sounds like 'into' in his head) didn't mention Jim to Mari. Jim does not know this.

He gives the redhead a small smile.

"One hell of an entrance there, Mari. Jim Kirk. Your friend fill you in on what's going on already?" He taps his temple to show that he's met N2 already.
smartass_captain: (Confidence)

"Didn't touch you more than I had to to get the wounds closed up." Jim promises. "Your friend tucked you in with the stuff I found for you. You're safe here."

Jim also doesn't get closer while he's talking, remaining seated in the chair he'd settled into near the couch Mari was resting on.

"You've got a bit of a concussion, so if you need to rest, I'll watch over you. Ain't got nothing better to do." He flashes her a small grin.

"Small miracles, then." Jim gives her a sympathetic smile. He's been through the wringer more than a few times, himself. Getting hurt is nothing new, but still nothing he wishes on other people.

"You can rest easy. I'll stay here."
smartass_captain: (Arguing with Bones)

[personal profile] smartass_captain 2015-10-13 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"My best friend's a doctor." Jim supplies helpfully, though he pauses at the whole universal traveler. "Like...an explorer?" Jim can't imagine Bones driving a getaway car. But she sure seems like she's talking about a space travelling doctor.

"That's cool. I'm sure your friends are fine, then."
smartass_captain: (Uncomfortable)

"Not sure how many Nexus points in between multiverses you've been to but..yeah. This is a hub between hundreds of worlds. Maybe even thousands." Jim gestures around them.

"Don't bother asking how or who set this up, cuz I don't know. But there is a field that prevents violence. However, it can be broken in the outskirts, so the forum is the safest. The field is at its strongest here. And it's only been broken once that I know of, so it's not like it's a huge threat."
smartass_captain: (Wondering)

[personal profile] smartass_captain 2015-10-13 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
There's thousands of worlds connected to this one multiversal hub. Jim doesn't know why he didn't assume there could be more than one. The thought alone is mind bending, but then, thinking of the scope of one universe is impossible enough for a human brain to take in-- imagining several and hubs to connect all of them is next to impossible.

"Well, I know a guy who's pretty handy with portals who can help you get home when you feel you're up for it."
