WARNINGS: n/a
It was a strange feeling. Everything had worked out, and he'd broken all the rules along the way, and that just wasn't how things were supposed to happen in Starfleet. But it made him smile. Pike had been right about one thing--he was his father's son--and despite the open displays of defiance, he really did believe in the Federation, in what they were doing. They were changing worlds, not just their own.
Smiling as he looked at the ship, Jim couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he gazed at the Enterprise. She wasn't his in the sense that he owned her, but the young Captain would always feel an attachment--an obligation--to this ship. This ship had changed his destiny, and the friendships he'd made while it was almost destroyed would last a lifetime.
And that's how he saw the crew--friends. Yes, they were there to do a job, and yes he could be professional when the occasion seriously called for it, but Jim thought of the crew of the Enterprise as a family. And every family had their problems of course, but at the end of the day, when caught in danger, they all worked very well together. Especially now that he and Spock were getting along.
Glancing at his watch, Jim started for the elevator that would take him into the ship, pausing there to give Bones just a few more minutes to show up before he assumed the Doctor was elbows deep in someone's stomach trying to hold them together.
