The Captain

Her hand rested on her hip and from the moment I looked up from our shared console I was mesmerized. I'm not even sure I would have been able to articulate my own name. Don't ask me what foe she was tangling with, Kazon or Vidiian—I'm certain it didn't matter. There she stood, her back ramrod straight, hand on her hip with the other gesticulating about as if she needed the appendage to hit home the power of her words, her crew, her weapons. Her jaw was locked, as if gritting her teeth in disgust, her entire being exuded superiority and oddly enough—grace. She was not to be tangled with. What she lacked in stature she made up for in bold confidence and indelible wit. I knew then that this was a woman who could take seasoned admirals to task with a crook of her finger and a glare that made me want to turn and run. She was glorious, tenacious, beautiful and if I were honest—sexy as hell. She turned after winning the fray, an uneven smile on her face, hand still resting on her hip and I was lost. Lost to my Captain—my Kathryn.
