Welcome to my 100 prompt fan fiction! I shall be updating when I have the drabble or oneshot depending on what how much I wrote finished. I wish I could do more than two genres… either way I hope you enjoy #1!

DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN STAR TREK NOR DO I CLAIM TO!

1. Abandon

Jim Kirk often wondered if his father hadn't been looking for a way out. He had seen the footage of the U.S.S Kelvin being attacked, they had released the pod with all the ship's logs and information that it gathered, it had video up until the eleven minutes his father had been captain. The rest had been a mash from the shuttles' cameras. Jim was sure that it had to have been the only way but he wondered why his father always sounded so calm during the crisis.

When he had heard the story for the first time all he felt was awe, that his father was someone to be admired, until he saw the clips, it was on his birthday unsurprisingly enough, and they were doing the five year anniversary since the Kelvin's destruction. There was no way a man heading to his death should sound so calm, detached maybe but this was nothing but calm, or if it was a Vulcan, which his father wasn't.

He couldn't blame his father for wanting to leave if his mother had been the same as she was as she was when he was growing up. She was hateful, she didn't care, and she was never there. Jim knew that she had practically abandoned him in exchange for a way to work away her grief, but she left him in the worse situations, with the worse people. Only once did he feel like he was ever loved and that was by his aunt and uncle on Tarsus IV but that was something he didn't want to think about, what happened after at least but the two go hand in hand.

Jim walked onto the deck of the Enterprise the crew turned to look at him when the young Russian spoke. "Keptin on ze deck."

Jim flashed them all a grin and walked straight to the captain's chair. He sat down in it, he thought about his father, he wondered if his father felt like he did whenever he sat down in the captain's chair.

Jim shrugged, he didn't really care, as far as he knew his father died because he needed a way out of the responsibility, Jim knew that wasn't the reason but dammit he needed someone to be angry at now that Nero is gone. His mother had abandoned him, that was undisputable.

Looking around the deck he saw the faces he had come to know so well. He knew there was no chance that he'd abandoned them in the way his mother had, but he wouldn't abandoned his ship, if it came to that he'd let them think that he abandoned them and go down with the ship. Khan had that right. No ship should go down without its captain.

The crew knew that there was something that set their captain apart from the others. Yes there were several reasons, but the captain would never abandon them. He proved that a hundred times over, he'd do everything in his power, and then some, to make sure that he wouldn't be abandoning his crewmembers to a horrible fate, even if in the long run it'd cost him his career, or, in the more likely case, it would cost him his life.

There is 1/100! Yay me! Number two will be coming up shortly! Later! ~IF
