Back on the bridge there was another stunned silence. After the disembodied voice had told Sybok to stop, an animalistic growl had radiated around the room, making many of the people assembled within jump within surprise. All eyes were now trained on Commander Spock who was being physically restrained by his father and Captain Kirk, and they were not being overly successful.
"Uhura shut that thing off!" Jim shouted over his shoulder, before turning to Spock and as calmly as he could asked, "Spock calm down, before I have to have Bones knock you out."
Jim's eyes darted over to Bones, who had a hypo spray in hand. At times, Jim wondered where the hell the Doctor kept them on his body, it was a mystery how he always had one on hand when one was needed. That seemed to have an effect on the enraged Vulcan, who stopped struggling so much.
"Will you please let me go?" Spock asked, it was obvious he was still agitated.
"Not until we have your word that you will not leave this ship without permission from the Captain." Sarek commented. He knew that the only thing Spock wanted to do was leave the ship and tear apart the man who had caused him and Elizabeth so much pain.
Jim's eyebrow quirked at the Ambassador's words, but did not question them just yet.
Spock sighed and attempted to shake off his father and Jim once more before mumbling, "You have my word."
Jim released his first officer, and carefully backed away from him. "Okay, you wanna tell me what that little emotional outburst was all about? Or do I have to ask your father, who is the only other person in the room who knows what's going on right now?" Jim demanded the threat evident in his voice.
Spock straightened his uniform, and closed his eyes to compose himself. He hated becoming emotionally compromised, but at times it could not be avoided. "I will inform you of my outburst Captain. However, I would prefer that this not be the setting."
"That's fine, my ready room then." Without leaving time to allow an argument, Jim turned on his heels and headed across the bridge.
"Captain, it would be wise for Dr McCoy to join us." Spock stated, following in the footsteps of the Captain.
Jim nodded towards Bones, and then jerked his head in the direction of his ready room, silently telling the Doctor to follow them.
The doors slid shut behind Bones, and Jim sat down in his desk chair. Looking expectantly at Spock the two human men waited for the explanation, both curious as to why Bones had been asked to come as well.
"Captain," Spock began, "as you are both aware, Caleb, like myself, is a child of two worlds. His father is Vulcan, that much is obvious from his physical appearance alone. When she came on board, Elizabeth divulged the information as to how Caleb was conceived to Dr McCoy."
"I don't see how that is relevant." Bones snapped at Spock, he didn't like were this was going. Elizabeth told him that because she needed to tell him, he was her big brother, so why the hell was Spock about to tell Jim?
"It is extremely relevant Doctor." Spock almost snapped back. "The voice that interrupted my elder brother belongs to the man who is Caleb's biological father."
"That's impossible!" Boned interrupted again. "She told me he was dead, she said he was on the planet when it imploded!"
"Clearly, he is not and was not." Spock countered, his anger levels rising again despite his best efforts to suppress them. He and Bones were standing opposite each other having a standoff, Jim up until that point had been a quiet observer.
"Sorry, don't get me wrong, but so what? If that guy is Caleb's father, why does it matter?" Jim asked. Both Spock and Bones had been moving around the issue; Jim still wanted to know what caused his first officer to lash out like that. It was like Spock had wanted to reach through the view screen to get at the owner of the voice, and probably kill him.
After his question, both Spock and Bones turned their heads to stare at him, simultaneously. The action had creeped Jim out a little. "Jim, that guy is Caleb's father, but it wasn't by choice. He raped my sister Jim, took her without her consent."
Bones' voice was just above a whisper as he concluded his explanation. The reality of what had just been said hit Jim like a brick. He didn't understand how anyone could do that to Lizzie, she was too kind for someone to do something so awful. Jim now understood why Spock seemed ready to kill, but how the Vulcan had known the man who had attacked Lizzie simply by the sound of his voice?
"Spock, how did you know?"
"Elizabeth told me earlier today." Spock said, still visibly tenser than normal.
"That's not what I mean. How did you know it was him?"
Jim watch Spock as the Vulcan looked away, the pain clear in his eyes.
"As a child, Stark and two others found amusement in attempting to elicit an emotional response from me. The number of times they attempted to do so escapes me. As I grew older, my relationship with Stark changed; he became the closest thing I had to a friend on Vulcan before I left to join Starfleet." Spock paused and took a deep meditative breath before continuing. "When Elizabeth divulged the information pertaining to the man who raped her, I developed the innate need to inflict justice on the one who would dare defile my ko-kugalsu. It matters not that the event took place prior to my knowing her."
Bones tensed when Spock called Lizzie his ko-kugalsu, he didn't know what it meant, he didn't really care. "I'm all for you killing that son-of-a-bitch, but my sister isn't your ko-ku something or other." He was shouting again.
Jim noticed that the anger returned to Spock's eyes, he shrank back in his chair, not knowing what to expect, but it wouldn't be good.
Spock turned on Bones, his voice rising to a level that it never had before. "Dr McCoy, like it or not, Elizabeth and I are planning on completing our bonding. We are going to get married. She is my fiancée, she is carrying my child and I love her. You will have to accept this matter of fact."
Bones just glared at the Vulcan male. This argument had been building for a long time. Bones didn't expect Spock to ever yell at him about the subject, but he had been anticipating some form of confrontation. However it if he had had to bet on it, Bones would have said that the argument would have been between him and Lizzie. Spock was right, not that Bones would admit it to his face, when Lizzie was with Spock, Bones noticed that she seemed more relaxed and that she smiled a lot more. Something else Bones would never have bet on was hearing Spock openly admit to loving his sister, a tiny part of him relaxed upon hearing that. Knowing that the pointy eared bastard actually loved Lizzie made him feel better about the whole thing, but it was only a tiny part of him, no bigger than a finger nail.
"Fine!" Bones yelled back. "But I don't have to like it. So what are you, my wondrous future brother-in-law, gonna do about the other green blooded bastard that's sitting off of our port bow?"
"If it were completely my decision I would call for a puk-tor. It is my right to do so; Vulcan law states that I have the right to defend the honour of my mate. However, as my father is aware of the crime committed against Elizabeth, he may wish to call a trial of the high council. Which would most likely end in Stark being put to death. Yet, the fact remains that Stark is a rebel and is it doubtful that he will comply with Vulcan law." Spock informed both men.
"No he probably won't." Jim agreed. "Is there anything that would cause him to want to fight you? As you've just said, he will most likely disagree with Vulcan law and practice."
"There is nothing that I can think of that would elicit such a response from him." Spock said, it was clear that he was thinking. At any other time and regarding any other Vulcan, Spock would have seen the irony in his childhood tormenter forgoing all of the Vulcan disciplines of the mind in favour of emotions.
"What if you had something he wanted?" Jim asked. He had a hunch.
"Jim what are you thinking?" Bones asked cautiously.
"I'm just thinking, is Stark hurt Lizzie when she was on Vulcan, he was still there. Meaning that he was struggling with the concept of emotions before the genocide, unlike the newer Vulcans that are turning to this way of life. If Lizzie had such an effect on him he would resort to something so heinous to 'have' her, he may still think he had some claim over her." Jim spoke slowly, not wanting to anger either of the men standing in his ready room. He knew what he was suggesting, and he didn't like the idea himself, but if it was the only way they could gain some leverage over the rebels he was willing to take the risk.
"No." Was all Spock said.
"Jim, I agree with pointy ears. There is no way over my dead body that you're exposing my sister to that bastard."

"I think we need to call a meeting with all of the senior officers and the Vulcan delegates." Jim announced. They needed more people to work on this. It was no longer a simple matter of diplomatic negotiations to avoid a civil war for the Vulcans. Now a crime had come to light, and the perpetrator was present and within arms reach. They couldn't let this go, justice had to be served.
