I suppose introductions are the thing to do right now.

I am Commander Winona Kirk, obviously here for my son, Captain James Kirk.

Would anyone care to explain to me what he's doing here in the first place? And where he is now? And why me?

[Dramas over. Now it's time to lay the mom smackdown on Kirk because this is all his fault :|] If you can hear me and this is some kind of Take Your Parent to Work day, I'm going to hit you, James. I have my own work to do. And I thought we agreed that I don't care what you do, so long as you don't get yourself killed or someone pregnant.

...

Wow.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

While eloquent, that doesn't answer any of my questions.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Hey, nobody is dead or pregnant because of him and you already said you don't care.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

There's load of my shoulders. He isn't in trouble and he dragged me here anyway. Some boys calls first when they want their mothers.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

He didn't call you. This had nothing to do with him. You're replacing him right now.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Any thoughts on why he can't be doing it himself? And do you have a name to go with your face?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

I cannot be bothered to explain this beyond what you know already. You're here, he's not, it's not his fault and in a couple days you'll be gone and the Barge will be a happier place because of it. Okay?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

That's a long and strange name you have.

[batmanschmatman]

[Wow. Mommy Kirk is scary.] I guess those are some important standards when it comes to what your kid does with their life.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

My son is a reckless idiot sometimes. My old heart can't take knowing everything he does with his life.

[batmanschmatman]

Well, I promise he hasn't been up to anything reckless and potentially dangerous lately.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

That's a relief.

[batmanschmatman]

So, the Admiral didn't give you the rundown before dragging you on board?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Nope. I just know I'm here to sub for Jim.

[batmanschmatman]

It's called the Barge, and we're here to help rehabilitate inmates. I see you've already met Jim's.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Its possible she just snorted thinking about Jim fixing someone else.]

He must love her.

[toldastory]

I see.

[Francine Jones is judging you, Winona Kirk.]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Judge her all you want. You didn't raise Jim Kirk :|]

It's a loving hit. And nothing he doesn't deserve.

[truth_is_cold]

He treated me well enough when I met him. He seems extremely intelligent and capable, and has achieved an impressive rank for his age. I hope you become proud of him. [Why is everyone's mom's so pretty? Why?]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Why wouldn't Kirk's mom be a babe, answer me that.]

Become proud? He is an idiot, and he needs to be reminded of that sometimes. But I have a soft spot for idiots. I married his father after all.

[truth_is_cold]

[This is true, there's a genetic predisposition to sexy.] He sees to have grown out of it. [Not really, if he's anything like Dylan. But he doesn't want to jump to conclusions.] He's the captain of a Starship, as I have been informed. The Enterprise. Motherhood is never an easy task. I have no idea what my children would do without theirs, even on their worst days.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[He is exactly like Dylan. Assume idiocy]

I'd say children need their father just as much.

[truth_is_cold]

[Oh Kirk, why so much with the dumb? He'll still go ahead under the delusion he's smart.]

They do. I wish I could be there for mine. But I can say with certainty this one turned out for the better.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Because geniuses are idiots too]

And why's that?

[truth_is_cold]

[This is why Kirk usually keeps an idiot genius to temper is genius idiocy.]

He's a respected captain. When I came here, individuals from his distant future still admired his work. [Even if he's from a different time line.] I hope you have the chance to feel pride for that.
