"Shall we begin?"

Those were the last words spoken by Khan hours ago as the crew started the master class of combat training Khan has put together for them. Many of the crew members were exhausted at this point but Nyota the Captain and Spock and Sulu were now facing one another in final face off matches.

"You will remember your training from today as you utilize your skills to disarm and disable your opponent." Khan barked from across the room as he slowly paced around their matches.

Nyota breathed slowly as she let her muscles relax and stay flexible as she danced lightly around Jim's punches and kicks. Her flexibility had greatly improved and she had always mader sure to get up early and polish her combat training skills before assuming her post. After learning some new moves from Khan this morning she was dying to try them out on a worthy opponent such as the Captain. He was also enjoying their fight and he kept his trademark smirk on his face no matter how many times she managed to punch it off him, He was starting to sway now though and his movements become more sloppy so she took her opening when she saw it.

Khan must of as well because as she swung her legs over Kirk's shoulder around his punch and over his neck she heard him yell."FINISH HIM" from the sidelines. By the time he finished the statement kirk was on the ground knocked out and Nyota was already back on her feet. Spock had won his match with Sulu leaving the two of them standing across from each other.

"ALL RIGHT THEY NEED A BREAK, FOR GOD SAKES SOMEONE GET JIM TO THE MED BAY" McCoy started on tending to all of the exhausted crew members, he sent Spock to made sure the knocked out Jim was properly taken care of.

Nyota just closed her eyes and slowed her breathing as she started to engage in a few cool down streches. She felt a slow smile spread across her face as she felt a burning gaze on her as she started to move in Cobra pose and downward facing dog. At this point the only one not going to rest after the training session was a leering Khan from the side of the room and surprisingly a nervous Checkov.

She smiled at his fidgeting and came over after she was done to see what was going on.

"Liuetenant! I mean Miss Uhura, I have a favor to ask if you wouldn't mind."

"Sure" she said while smiling. He looked relieved as he asked him to follow her.

Khan did not look happy at her being called away but remained where he was as she followed Checkov out of the gym and onto the lift.
"Sorry I want to tell as few people as possible in case things don't work out." Checkov said while smiling nervously.

"You can tell me" Nyota said without hesitation.

He smiled "Thank you, I am so happy to here that. It's about Carol, I was wondering if you could get to know her better and find out what kinds of things she likes."

Nyota had to grin at the sweet shyness of Checkov, she was pretty sure he never had a serous relationship before and he seemed eager to please.

"Of course, things like her birthday, favorite food, kind of ring she likes?" she teased wuth a wink.

Checkov blushed as he stuttered a reply. "I don't know how or why I got so lucky or why she chose me. So I want to make sure that I can make her happy here on the crew. I feel like I know too little about her to really hope things work out but, I can always try and hope you know?"

She felt her heart go out for Checkov as she vowed to help him.

"No problem, you can count on me."
