m!a for after this one: m!bones is 5 years old. and has a force feild so nobody murders him to death
it happens in the middle of a surgery, right after the first few incisions were made. Dr McCoy is all done up in sterile surgical scrubs, and nurse chapel is done up to match.
the ship pitches slightly to the side as an errant energy wave from deep space hits the ISS. Bones curses loudly as it causes his hand to slip slightly, but luckily he doesn't nik anything important.
he expected there to be more tossing and turning as it wouldn't be the first time the Enterprise got into a firefight in the middle of a surgery, but it seems to just be the one. So he continues.
he's laser focused on his work as he often is then his eye starts to itch, or rather his lack thereof. And then it starts to burn, and hurt.
he drops the scalpel in his hand to clutch at it and shouts, then screams. The pain is terrible and it's compounding by the second, reaching the point of pain it was when he first lost it.
and then the unthinkable.
he hasn't lost it its back, the return of the depth perception almost as starkly off putting as its loss. As soon as it's back his memory of losing it starts to fade, but thats not something he realizes at the moment. It's not something he's going to realize at all, as the changes don't stop there.
with every passing second the reversal seems to double, that is until he reaches the age of about 17 and the inverse occurs. Its slows down at the same rate it's sped up. Aging and scars wiped away along with the memory is associated with them, until it finally slows to a stop.
Doctor "bones" McCoy is gone now, and in his sted is what appears to be a roughly 5 year old boy called Len. The clothing he had been wearing swamps him, one of his gloves has falling off, the surgical cap slipping comically low over his face.
the kid blinks up against the bright surgical spotlight in the room, with the familiar shockingly blue eyes. Hes obviously confused, but it's so confusing that fear, or really any other emotion hasn't said in yet. The kids just blankly staring around.
And Christine is staring right back, her shock mirroring the one on his face, but there's horror in hers as well.
