[This is very clearly addressed to McCoy but still PUBLIC So you all know how serious he is.]

I'm getting a little bored with this game of hide and seek, McCoy. And since I seem to be surrounded by completely incompetent idiots...

[Long pause with a look that says it all. YES THIS IS AIMED AT YOU, UHURA AND SPOCK.

And he's back to business.]

I made a new game for us.

[He shifts out of the way of the camera, to show you all an unconscious Shego on the ground. She looks pretty roughed up, bruises, cuts and ~~jizz in her hair~~ the like.

Kirk leans back in and smiles in a totally EVIL CREEPY WAY.]

If you aren't at my quarters in an hour or less but not a second more, I'll kill her. And it won't be quick or pretty. And if you bring any of your little friends, I'm gonna have to cut on you and them a little bit.

[THE END.]

[ooc: So with Naomi's permission, we've assumed that Kirk has caught Shego, roughed her up a bit and then sedated her with one of the hypos that Bones left in his room, LOLIRONY and now he's using her as bait in his clearly obvious trap. No, he's not actually going to kill Shego, that's too much work for his lazy ass. Feel free to yell at him or cheer him on but all of the action is for Bones, kthanks. <3

PS: There will probably be graphic violence in this post. YOU ARE WARNED.

EDIT: Sorry to cock-block anyone! T'was not my intention. You will have your chance to beat on Kirk/plot against him later this week, I promise <3]

Then what? [McCoy asked, scowl returning.] What 'dictates' a complete disregard for human life?

"What complete disregard? I just saved your ungrateful ass."

Out of the goodness of your heart or because it's advantageous to you?

[Kirk gave him a long look, like he really thought that McCoy was mentally challenged.]

"If you plan on giving me some kind of morality lecture, I'm going to rethink that plan and just kill you and get it over with."

Then answer my question. It wasn't your father's death, unless something there changed too. [He wasn't sure why but he needed to know what it was that snapped.]

"Why don't you tell me what you think happened to me and I'll correct you where you're horribly wrong?" [Kirk suggested, always reluctant to giving up any information about himself.]

"If we have to have this conversation."

[McCoy shifted, suppressing a wince as his arm moved and pressed his back against the wall for support.] If your father died the same way then I'm guessing it was Iowa. [He leveled his gaze with Kirk's.] Maybe Frank.

[Kirk laughed suddenly.]

"You think that Frank killed my dad? I like that you're such a conspiracy theorist. I really do."

[He shook his head slowly.] "It was Nero. Everyone knows that son of a bitch thought he could fight back against the Empire."

He died on the Kelvin too then. [McCoy said, pointedly ignoring the laugh.] I mean Frank and you. What was it Kirk, some survival of the fittest upbringing?

"He hit me. So I killed him."

[McCoy stared a moment before he spoke again.] Out of self defense or vengeance [He said in a tone that wasn't entirely believing.]

"Does it matter?" [Kirk retorted, narrowing his eyes a little bit.] "He's dead. I'm not sorry it happened. That's all."

It does matter. A kid trying to protect himself and a kid who lets his bitterness consume him- yeah, those are different. [He answered lowly.]

"Maybe I was just pointing out the terrible mistake my mother made in marrying him." [Kirk said, almost too calmly.] "He was a drunk with anger issues. I was doing the world a favor."

Oh, so it was out of the goodness of your heart. [McCoy snapped.] I don't suppose he ran your brother off too.

"Maybe I killed my brother too." [Kirk said testily because he really didn't see what this had to do with anything.]

"You're very bad at guessing. Nothing special yet."

Maybe because Jim suffered through plenty of shit and managed to stay a good man. [McCoy bowed his head a moment- he was beginning to feel light headed again. He capped the feeling best he could and looked back to Kirk.

He couldn't believe it was so simple, using Shego, torturing her for this twisted place, stabbing him for kicks or to make a point. The same kid who risked his life for others all the damned time in space, saved the world and nearly died alone several times in the process. McCoy kept expecting to see some crack, something underneath to prove he wasn't just a madman.

And wouldn't it all be worse if he could see Jim in the man? He clenched his jaw.] Tell me this then, why do you hate McCoy?

"Your definition of good is biased. It's not a concept that you can apply universally and expect everyone to play along with it. I value different things than you do. That doesn't make me wrong." [Kirk pointed out.]

"He's always been an antagonistic fuck. It grates on the nerves after a while."

Any planet, any damned morality would realize the value of life. [McCoy shot back.] Anyone would come here and see what they're asking of you as corruption, plain and simple. It's about what he can do for you isn't it? Tell me a good man would sell someone else's soul for a favor.

[He let out a breath.] Funny, that never scared Jim away.

"I think you can get a man to do anything you want if the reward is exactly what he wants. The Admiral is helping me, yes but not in the way you're thinking."

[Kirk shrugged a little bit.] "Yet. He hasn't been scared away yet."

Then how is it really? What's the price for Shego's soul?

[McCoy couldn't help but snort. Normally that would strike his insecurities hard but the mind meld and their relationship since made it a little easier to scoff.] Trust me kid, it's more complicated than that.

"This is kinda like that cliched moment when the bad guy reveals all of his evil plans isn't it?" [Kirk asked, mostly rhetorically as he stepped closer to McCoy.]

"I don't really get to have a lot of these moments. It's interesting. Kinda fun."

[Once he was right up in McCoy's face, he leaned in slightly, pressing his mouth to the doctor's ear.] "I hate the Empire. The idea of working for it makes me physically ill. And if it's the last thing that I ever do, I'm going to tear it down, corrupt brick by corrupt brick and then build it back up the way I want it to be."

[McCoy eyed him warily, keeping his place out of sheer stubbornness more than anything else. Whatever he was expecting to come out of the man's mouth that wasn't it, eyes widening a fraction in surprise.]

And how do you want it to be? [He asked, pulling slightly to the side.]

[Kirk followed him when he tried to move away, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips.]

"I'd tell you to guess if you weren't so bad at it."

[He grabbed onto McCoy's chin and dug his fingers into one of the wounds there.] "Don't you want the Empire gone, doctor?"

[McCoy's brow furrowed as Kirk's fingers reopened the wound on his jaw, taking a moment to try and slap his grip away.]

There's an old saying back home about going with the evil you know rather than the evil you don't. If the Empire is just going to be replaced with a new, more ruthless Alexander then no, I'd rather it destroy itself. It will one day, all empires fall.
