Reunion

Number One is awesome, but she only showed up in (three? including the original?) episodes, so I'm not one hundred percent sure on characterization.

Main Points:
Star Trek (the 2009!movie verse) Cambion AU
Summary: Jim gets to meet Number One...
Word Count: 240
Rating: Teen, probably

          Of course, the second he sees Number One again, she gets to see him behaving like he’s eight years old again.  Because of course Jim has this dumb grin on his face the moment he sees her and recognizes her, and of course Pike can’t let that stand, so the next thing he knows the two of them are scuffling like neither one of them has matured.  Ever.
          “Do I have to separate you two?” she asks, and he glances over to see one raised eyebrow, and instantly feels completely sheepish.
          It’s then he realizes that the kid must have some sort of empathic thing going on, because the shame of letting her see him like that isn’t showing on his face, and there is no other reason why the kid would suddenly pull himself together like that.  “I’m trying to keep him young and remind him he doesn’t need to join the admiralty and become an emotionless cyborg like the rest of them,” he explains, holding out a hand respectfully.
          That gets a twitch of her mouth, so it’s something.  “You really need to meet Admiral Archer.  And you, Christopher…you’re in trouble for letting Phil be my sole source of information.”
          Chris gulps.  “Yes, ma’am.  Sorry, ma’am.”  You tick Number One off at your peril.
          Jim leans in.  “I like her,” he confides in a stage whisper.
          “You’ll live longer that way,” she agrees, and they shiver in unison.
