🪐Stuck in the future.🪐 Pt: 1: how’d I get here? Who are these strange people?!
(Star Trek voyager) (child reader she’s 13- !No ships!)
(Also the child will be called Mika. Had no other ideas for her-)
I groaned softly as my eyes began fluttering. But an extremely bright and disturbing light basically blinded my eyes. I repeatedly blinked trying to get myself adjusted to the extreme exposure so quickly. I shifty my body slightly realizing I wasn’t on a normal bed. It was slightly uncomfortable but when I began sitting up I looked around to a strange room. There was a sort of control system across from me and certain technology I could never guess existed.
I realized the attire I was in. I wore blue oversized clothes like in the hospital. Except it wasn’t just a gown that showed my behind. It was a nice oversized long sleeve shirt with long blue pants to match it. ‘Very comfortable…’ I thought to myself. I then began to question what I was doing here and countless of questions entered my head.
My train of the thoughts were stopped when a electronic door, I could only assume it to be on my right opened up and a man walked through. He was balding from the top and had deep brown hair at the sides. His posture was nothing but perfect and he wore a black uniform that had blue lining at the top. There was also a badge but I couldn’t quite comprehend what it was. Less than a minute of examination he looked at me. I squealed surprised.
“Why good morning! How are you feeling?” He asked in a smooth, energetic voice. “Uhm. WHO are you?” I asked practically scared out of my pants. “I’m- a doctor. You can just call me that I suppose. I hope your rest was well.” He responded. “Hold on. I have so many questions..also I don’t quite trust you, DOCTOR. I just woke up in god knows where in a room with someone who I don’t even know!”
My tone of voice became louder as I became panicked. “Don’t worry. Your fine and your not in danger. Just give me a minute.” He quickly turned away and pressed what I could only assume to be his badge. He whispered something into it but all I could hear was the word Captain. It gave me more of an idea as to where I could be.
Right before he finished I jumped out of bed and grabbed something from what I could only assumed to be a control panel. What I grabbed seem to be a sort of gun- or a weapon of some sort but I used it to my advantage. “D-Don’t move! I’ll shoot you!” I threatened my voice barely wavering.
“Oh dear-..” The doctor looked panicked he pressed his badge and spoke loudly, “Sickbay to the Captain!- our ‘guest’ has gotten a hold of a phaser and is threatening me with it. Quite frankly I could walk right through it but my patient is armed!” He ranted through. Then I heard a very stern unfamiliar female voice.
“I’m on my way, I’m coming with Chakotay and Tuvok!” Then the audio shut off. “Who we’re you just talking to?!” I screamed. My arms were shaky from worry about who’s to come. “You need to calm down. Your not in danger I just alerted my superiors because your armed and threatening me. Nothing bad will happen just put it down.” He calmly spoke. I could still hear the shakiness in his voice.
I looked over to the room he exited out off. I ran into it and saw a control panel on the wall, I pressed random buttons to see what it could do. Then suddenly I watched a ‘sparks’ formed right by the door and realized it was a barrier of some sort. “You can’t hurt me! None of those people you mention will hurt me! I swear!”
My voice was so shaky and my breathe was heavy. I opted for a corner and made myself as small as humanly possible. I tried to calm myself down by breathing. I was breathing very shakily and my hands were shaking at an uncontrollable pace. I reminded myself that I couldn’t drop what they called ‘phaser’ because I didn’t want to end up defenseless and I don’t enjoy being defenseless without a shield or weapon.
He kept trying to get me to open up from the barrier and he kept trying to get me to drop the weapon. I rebelled against the doctor and refused. I ignored every word he spoke. Un-shaken and a stone cold look at him.
I sunk to the floor still with the weapon in my arms. I tried to seem small as possible and un-noticeable. But whoever was coming would see me. I just didn’t want them too, I looked away trying to avoid the doctors futile attempts at persuasion.
Suddenly I heard doors open and 3 sets of feet walk into the room. “Captain! I’ve been trying— but she ran into my room! And she set the force field up. May I remind you she’s armed.” Is all I heard. I kept my head low to avoid any eye contact and try to see who was there.
I saw a woman. 5’4 - 5’6. She wore a bun of steel atop her head. Her hands on her hips. She had a strict face like a mother who found out you were failing classes in school. Her hair was auburn colored. Her skin was of the slightest pale.
Then the man next to her had spiky like hair and a tattoo over one of his eyes. His skin was nicely brown and his eyes were relaxed and his expression was calmed and firm at the same time.
The third person he had darker skin, like he seemed to be African- American. His looked was stoic and he seemed to be like a robot. He had odd ears- ears like an elf. His eyebrows shot down and it seemed he was always angry.
During my observation of the three the woman turned her head and made eye contact with me for a quick second. I quickly looked away and raised the so called phaser up. “Doctor..that’s a child..” the woman spoke. “Here let me try to talk to her.” She said smoothly.
I watched as she moved her was slowly to as close as she could. The barrier or the force field as the strange doctor called it kept her from reaching me entirely.
“Hi there, I’m Captain Kathryn Janeway. What’s your name?” She asked sweetly. “Oh- my names Mika..” I spoke slowly. “Well hello, Mika. I understand you may be afraid or anxious but your not in danger. I assure you that. The doctor here was trying to help you.” She spoke calmly.
“Oh really? I’m not that dumb. That’s not a person!” I pointed at the doctor. “He obviously is some sort of program. He basically ratted himself out while talking to ya. Also how do I even know you don’t have bad intentions?! Am I really expected to trust stranger adults?!”
My eyebrows furrowed. I held the phaser up higher now with more intention. “Also I really don’t think the first thing a unknowing child wants to see after waking up in god knows where is a literal ALIEN!” I pointed directly at the pointy - eared man.
The man just scoffed lightly at my comment. Suddenly the woman spoke once again. “I know how you feel. You feel anxious and fearful of who and what is here but I’m telling you now. Me, and my officers here, Commander Chakotay and Lieutenant Tuvok.” She pointed to the men with her introducing them. “Won’t harm you, we’re only here because you have a weapon and it can hurt us. We’re flesh and blood just like you.”
“—I…ok..how do I uh- take down the- Y’know barrier thingy..” I asked entirely confused. I heard a deep chuckle from the woman. “Go to the panel and it should be on the middle right.” She instructed. I followed the captain’s directions and I watch the force field come down.
She slowly stepped in reaching out a hand. Perhaps she wanted the weapon. I slowly but surely made it over to her placing the phaser in her hand. She gave the phaser to one of the men without breaking eye contact with me. Captain Janeway then stretched her arms out for a hug.
I leaned in and hugged her. She rubbed my back gently and carefully. “I promise, here on this ship. Your no stranger. Your no alien to us as we should be to you. Just about all except the doctor are flesh and blood.” She whispered to me.
I nodded softly still tucked into her hug. She was very gentle and kind with me. I appreciated how she remained so patient with me. Even after what’d just occurred. I smiled softly at the thought. “I still have a few questions though.”
She nodded her head. The two of us pulled out the hug. “What’s your question?” She raised a small eyebrow. “How did I get here?..”
