[As the lights from the transporter beam dissipates, the Vulcan sways as he takes in the rather unexpected surroundings. There was one obvious conclusion:
This was not the Enterprise.

The Vulcan's mind buzzes with questions: Where was he? Where was Khan? Did he escape? Did the transporter malfunction? Did Nyota make it back to the Enterprise? The whole fight with the war criminal Khan seemed like a dream, an emotionally hazy, anger filled dream. Memories he didn't have for a whole year came flooding back, and he knew, he knew where he was now. This wasn't a trick of the mind, he was really back in this place.

Luceti...

An entire year later and he was brought back again at the most ill-conceived time. His Captain... his friend was dead and Khan's blood could supposedly bring him back to life? Certainly he had believed Nyota's words, but there was no concrete evidence given to him, and now he'll never know.
Spock looked around in quiet desperation, his brows furrowed with a rare vulnerability showing on his face. He shifted his back... yes, of course, there were the wings, sensitive as he remembered from his first days here in this infuriating place. The journal, his name embossed in gold gleamed in the sunlight, as if mocking him... but that was illogical. Bending at the waist, Spock picked up the journal, allowing its weight in his hand to remind him of the reality of the situation.

Green blood splattered on the journal as he opened it, he needed to see who was still here. The Vulcan breathed, wiping the strange coloured blood from the side of his mouth... and then opened his mouth to speak.]

Greetings residents of Luceti, I am Spock. I have been gone for approximately eleven point three months, however, considering the paradox of time that Luceti resides in, I do not know how long I have actually been away from here. If there is anyone still here that I know, information would be appreciated.

[Spock pauses to wipe more blood from his mouth.] I also require medical assistance.

[Action]

[Spock finds his way to the clinic so that his injuries can be seen to. Later, he can be found at the Dome, reorienting himself to Luceti and making sure his program files are still there, although he's only been gone a few days. In the evening Spock can be found around House #2, sitting on the porch with his Lyre, tired but amenable to talk.]

[ooc: Spock's been out of Luceti for just over two days, but if you've seen the movie Star Trek: Into Darkness, you'll know that Spock has been gone for about a year. The moment he's brought into Luceti is just as he is beamed back onto the ship after beating the crap out of Khan with Uhura's assistance. So have a beaten up Vulcan who's worried about his dead Captain. Cheers~]

Very much so.... Granted, the theory is the same.

[Spock gives her an amused look.] I am, as they say, at your mercy.

[The Vulcan waited to see how good of a Doctor Ami was up close.]

[There's a slightly abashed smile.]

You make it sound sort of frightening. But there's nothing to be worried about. The medical techniques might be different, but none of this will hurt.

It was my attempt at a joke. Perhaps I need to work on my sense of humour a bit more before I attempt it again.

[Spock gives her a small smile.]

[No, it's really more Ami's fault than Spock's.]

I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable with this.

Do not be concerned Miss Ami. Except for the discomfort of my ribs... I am quite comfortable in your presence.

[Do your magic woman~]

[It's hard to say whether Ami quite looks Spock in the eye as she guides him through the rest of the simple procedure, but she's definitely looking a bit embarrassed. It's always a bit different when it's someone she knows well.]

And that's all it takes.

[Spock nods as he gingerly puts his shirt back on...]

Do you have the results?

[Spock peers over her shoulder, absolutely curious at this dated machinery.]

It will take just a little time. You can wait here if you'd like. [Luckily, they're not back in the level of Luceti Valley where this would be a very complicated and much more time-consuming process.]

Have you always been a doctor in Luceti? [Spock knows that Ami has been here for quite some time, he wonders if she always held the position of doctor here.]

Eh? [The question seems to take her by surprise, but Ami shakes her head.]

Not when I was younger. When I came back, then I started working here as well.

[Spock's brows drew together...]

You were here in Luceti when you were younger?

[He's never heard of such a time difference before.]

When I first came here, I was fourteen. [The young teenage girl was quite a distance from the nineteen year old who'd returned almost three years ago now.]

That must have been quite difficult for you...

[He has only known Ami as the mature woman she is now... He idly wonders what she was like when she was younger. Surely not too different.]

[Well, the truth is, even at fourteen she'd been involved in battle back home. And even before that, as a child, everyone around her used to say she was too serious. So she'd been able to cope with the practicalities of Luceti... there were just other issues in the way. She'd come here still under the power and influence of the Dark Kingdom.]

I was fine. I'm used to taking care of myself.

You may be used to it Miss Ami... but is that what you preferred?

[Did she like taking care of herself? Wasn't that a lonely lifestyle? Spock related to the sentiment though. He was quite used to taking care of himself as well.]

[It's the sort of question she'd prefer not to answer, but to Spock she gives the truth.]

I thought it would have been good to make friends. I was glad when I did.

[Spock gives her a warm look...]

It is always difficult to admit when one requires assistance. Friends, however... do not see it that way, yes?

[It took Spock a long time to figure out that having the support of the command crew... his friends... was almost as essential as breathing.]

Maybe it's even the opposite: When I wasn't sure how to ask them for help, my friends were upset by that.

[Actually, she quite vividly remembers, when they were younger, Usagi accusing her not of all the horrible things Ami had actually done by then, but of that simple lack of trust and lack of relying on her friends. That had been what hurt her best friend, most of all.]

Indeed, but either way, they are there for you.

[Spock rubs a hand over his rib-cage.]

Are the x-rays completed?

[By the time they've been talking awhile, she can indeed check the x-rays, and Ami offers Spock a slight nod.]

Let's go ahead. I'd like to put your mind at ease as soon as possible.

[This was certainly a novel experience, and Spock found that he enjoyed seeing Ami at work in the clinic. She looked quite comfortable here, and while she may claim that emotions are difficult to express, the Vulcan can't help but feel that Ami is quite kind to her patients.

Spock waits, completely at ease now... He could put his thoughts about his Captain aside for now.]

[By the time she's actually finished and looking at the xrays herself, Ami seems fairly serious. She indicates a couple spots.]

They're fractured after all. You'll have to be very careful for awhile.

[Spock nods as Ami confirms his suspicions.]

I see. A healing trance should take care of that.
[Spock begins to stand, but then thinks better of it.] May I borrow this bed for approximately four hours?

Eh? [Well, there shouldn't be any problem with that, although the request surprises her somewhat. He must want it to rest while he heals, though, so Ami is quick to agree.]

Of course. It's alright if you stay as long as you need to.

[With another thank-you, the Vulcan lays down on the examination table. After a few moments his breath evens out and he becomes very still.

Healing trances certainly are handy.]

[ooc: We can totally stop it here if you wish~ Thank you for another awesome thread~ ^_^]
