Jim was coming out of his apartment when Bones appeared.
“What the hell happened to you?”
Jim fingered his jaw tentatively. “I got mugged.”
“You what?”
“Mugged. You know where someone jumps you and steals your valuables.”
Bones stared at him. “Someone mugged you? The Great Captain Kirk?”
Jim grinned. “Thanks for that vote for my new title, by the way, Yeah, I mean it happened after I attempted to pick up an Orion—”
“Stop right there.” Bones held up his hands. “Why didn’t you contact me? You’ve just barely gotten rid of that shiner Edison gave you.”
He winced. “I know. Anyway, I didn’t need to contact you. Spock took care of it.”
Bones leaned against Jim’s closed door and nodded. “Right. I’d forgotten with everything going on lately that Spock got his medical degree.”
Jim laughed. “You’re hilarious. He just happened to see me in the hallway as I was staggering home. Anyway, it wasn’t much of anything a shower and some sleep didn’t take care of. And this morning coffee and a big breakfast. I was just about to go to Spock’s door. You want to join us?”
Bones straightened and patted his stomach. “I am pretty hungry.”
They walked down the short hallway and Jim rose his fist to knock on Spock’s door and very nearly slugged Uhura in the nose.
“Oh. Hi, Captain. Doctor.”
The smile slipped from Jim’s face but he did his best to hide that. He cleared his throat. “Spock’s going to breakfast with me.”
Uhura nodded. “Spock?” The captain’s here. Doctor McCoy too.” She smoothed her hands over her uniform dress and stepped past them. “Have a good day.”
Jim watched her until she was gone. “Thought they broke up,” Jim muttered.
“Looks like it’s back on,” Bones said so cheerfully, Jim wanted to punch him in the face.
It was, of course, absolutely none of his business.
And as Spock appeared in the doorway, he plastered on his most fake smile.

It’s not what it seems Jim! I know it’s not.
Bones man. He cracks me up and makes me grr at the same time. Lol. Hopefully Spock will be able to explain!

“They walked down the short hallway and Jim rose his fist to knock on Spock’s door and very nearly slugged Uhura in the nose.” heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee
Dang it. He missed.
(My family TRIED to watch an interview with her a few weeks ago. She, who is star in THREE franchises – maybe more, I just can count 3 off the top of my head. They turned it off. They IMMEDIATELY hated her as a person. I didn’t even ask what she said. But until that moment they had all really liked her and watched all the movies in those franchises..)
“She smoothed her hands over her uniform dress and stepped past them.”
I don’t even have to say it. You know EXACTLY what I think about THIS Uhura. (I DO like her with Scotty though. In both timelines.)
Jim is so much a better Human than I. I can’t fake smiles like that. And in her case, I wouldn’t even try.
Can’t wait till the next installment! (I THINK grrrrrrrrrrr)

Can’t say I have seen a lot of interviews with her, though one or two with one of the guys and she seemed fine.
But as for her character…yeah. And she can be matched with Scotty or ANYONE else other than Spock,LOL
Hopefully she just stopped by to give Spock a report *wink*

I’m hoping that it’s not what it appears to be! She smoothed her hands over her uniform dress and stepped past them. Really? There’s an implication there?!!! Jim shoulda continued his knocking on the door motion and bopped her on the nose!!
Now I’m wondering what’s happening next? Inquiring minds want to know!
You are continuing this, right?
❤️💚😘🖖
