Summary: Hoshi gets injured, and guess who's coming for her rescue?
Author's Notes: Nothing serious. Just a little something that
crossed my mind. Too short for a story, but
too long for a Drabble, so I made it a
vignette. If you like it, or if you think I
should try to build a story around it, please
let me know.

The
pain's almost unbearable. The phaser blast hit me in my left leg. I fell hard
for there was no chance for me to get a grip to anything. It all happened so
damned fast.
Now
I'm lying here, helpless. I can hear the intruders coming nearer, and there is
no way I can defend myself. I lost my phaser pistol in the falling.
I
try to hide behind the next corner. But the pain makes me gasp and fall back.
Suddenly
she's there. I don't know where she came from or how she found me. I don't
care. She's here. That's all that matters. She towers over me, shielding me,
and protecting me.
When
my pursuers catch up with me, they don't expect her. Within a few seconds
everything is over.
She
pulls her communicator out.
"T'Pol
to Phlox. Ensign Sato is injured. We're on Deck C, section 5."
She
closes the comm and bends down to me. Her eyes are unreadable as always.
But
her voice is as soft as I've never heard her before.
"Stay
calm. He will be here any minute."
She
gently lifts me up, to rest me in her arms.
And
I feel safe.
