A/N - One word prompt request – “Dreams" for Khan (Star Trek AOS)/Molly Hooper, from @penaltywaltz.
Nobody of Importance
She was supposed to be a nobody.
He had dismissed her from his thoughts seconds after they met. She’d stammered, blushed, and wouldn’t meet his eyes as someone introduced them. Her research was unimportant to his mission; therefore, she was unimportant.
And yet, his sleep cycle had been tainted with images of a tiny brunette with fierce eyes, a regal bearing, and a sharp tongue. Obviously, it could not be the Doctor Hooper he had been introduced to but merely a fantasy that bore a remarkable resemblance.
The second time he saw her, she was in her element. She had no idea he was there; something had drawn him into her department and compelled him not to announce his presence.
She moved through her domain with grace, instructing her subordinates with confidence.
One dared to contradict her and she quelled his insubordination with a mere look and a sharply spoken “Anderson”. No cajoling or explanations offered. She silently demanded respect and obedience, and her people gave it to her.
Khan reviewed his timeline. It would be months before the Vengeance would be ready and his plans set into motion.
Months to see if there was any weight to his dreams.
