Kelvin Pod- McCoy

The ship shook, forcing you to grasp onto the nearest thing, that being the good doctor, Bones. He grunted and looked at you, clasping your shoulders to steady you. You looked up at him, giving him a small smile, but the ship lurched again causing you to fall into his chest.

"As much as I want you in my arms, doll, you just happen to have terrible timing."

You scoffed with a small smirk. "Don't you wish."

Suddenly, the blaring yellow lights turned red and alarms sounded. The ship jerked to the side, causing the two of you to hold on to one another as Bones braced up against the wall. People and sick bay supplies alike rushed from side to side as the ship started to sustain heavy damage. The voice of Captain Kirk came over the loudspeaker, calling for us so abandon ship. Your heart thumped hard as you looked around at the shocked yet relieved faces of your crewmembers. You looked up at McCoy, wildly aware that his arms were still around you and you still leaned into him heavily. His eyes flickered to the spot on the wall where you and a few others knew where his designated Kelvin pod was.

You moved to where you were then behind him, ignoring his exclamations of surprise and reluctance. You did your best to push him into the direction of his pod so he could get out safely, silently hoping there will be a pod somewhere open for you.

"What in the name- stop (Y/n)!" McCoy turns to look at you, planting his feet but swayed with the next hit to the ship.

You blew at some hair in your face and stood up as tall as you could, motioning for others to rush to evacuation pods. "As much as I want to have a heated argument with you, dear, you just happen to have terrible timing." You waved your arms in the air as another shot rocked the ship, but this time it felt bigger.

Bones turned and rushed to a monitor that showed one of the hallways. A pointy object rammed into the hull, piercing it then opening into the hall, letting out three to four armored aliens out. Your eyes widened and you rushed to make sure everyone was out. Once the last crewmen took off in a pod, Bones came up to you and took your arm roughly as he pulled you to his Kelvin Pod.

"No! This is yours, Leonard!" You tried to pull away from him but his grip was strong.

"I will find another way out. I just need to make sure you are safe."

Your face heated at the deep concern in his remark. "I'm touched, Doctor, but you are more important, safe and alive. There are a few more pods on the other end of the sick bay. If I hurry I can-"

But before you could finish your sentence one of the doors blasted open and a couple of aliens rushed in. Quickly the two of you disposed of them but you didn't get to breathe easily quite yet. Spock rushed in, a green bruise forming on his cheek.

"Doctor, I need your assistance."

Bones nodded and reached for a medical pack. But before he rushed out after the Vulcan, he turned to you and pointed urgently at the Kelvin pod. "You. In there. Now."

You rolled your eyes and nodded, knowing that there was no way for you to win this argument. Your heart throbbed at the look of genuine relief on his face as he gave you one last long look as if remembering you. Then he nodded and rushed off.

You let out a breath you didn't know you were holding. You looked at the Kelvin pod, extremely tempted to take it but you hated the idea of taking his only, though slim, chance of making it out alive.
