He'd been surprised how easy it was fall back into leading people. He was comfortable in command - something that he wasn't sure he should be proud of. They all seemed so young - it was like leading a cadet cruise again. Except this was battle. Not starship against starship. Not an away mission where it was possible to set your phasers to stun. These battles were intense melees, hand to hand. Swords, spears. Blood. They had won, but it had ben difficult. The injury had been near the end of the battle. He'd dived in between Iskierka and the enemy when her attention had been diverted during a blast of fire. Unfortunately, he'd taken the hit on the shoulder of his sword arm. He'd gone down momentarily and Kirk had stepped up, issuing orders. In the heat of battle, Pike had simply picked up the sword with his left hand and kept fighting until they'd defeated the enemy and returned to Asgard. Chapel had been there among the Asgardians and he was grateful for that. He was wary of medical professionals, even other worldly ones and longed for someone familiar. Kirk had stayed too, something that made Pike want to reach out and hug the young man, tell him he didn't need to be here. At least Kirk hadn't been seriously injured. Finally they were done. He was shirtless and bandaged, his right arm immobilized in a sling and given something for the pain. He'd waved off taking something to sleep. He didn't trust his dreams normally and he had grown to hate drug induced sleep after the Narada. Once they'd left him alone and Chapel had gone off to take care of other injuries, he turned his attention to Kirk. "Jim.. you don't really have to stay. I'll understand if you want to go back to Spock." |
