Some One For Everyone.

Chapter one.

The USS Voyager, Captained by Katherine Janeway has been lost in the Delta Quadrant for more than five years. Through those years they faced their fair share of Aliens and Battles, some they had won, others they were lucky to walk away with their life's. The Star ship voyager had gone through many repairs and improvements. It would be surprising if the original Engineers would recognise some areas of the ship.

Five years ago, Captain Janeway was trying to locate her missing security chief, who had for the past few months been undercover with a band of resistance fights, when the USS Voyager, ship and crew, vanished in the waste lands, kidnapped by a being called the Caretaker . There they had been put through some rather painful test. For the sole purpose of procreation, to protect a people that were owned a great debt. For the Caretaker was dying.. To protect these same people Janeway had to sacrifice there only chances of returning home.

Four years into their mission to return home, to the Alpha Quadrant, to Federation space, they came upon the Borg. A species with very little regard for life, Whose soul purpose is to a-simulate other species to take their knowledge as their own. Millions of worlds have been destroyed, and the federation barely survived there last encounter.

Entering Borg space was not unexpected, as to get home they had to travel through the heart of the Borg Empire. To Survive, Captain Janeway would have to join forces with the Borg in alliance to destroy the Borgs greatest threat.

What was unexpected was that by the end of the conflict they would lose one member of there crew members and gain another, one who had spent the last 18 years of her life as a Borg. Someone who would test Janeways skill at command and take her patients to the limit. A woman who had no recollection of being human who was assimilated at the age of five years old. Whose name is Seven of Nine.

Now over a year later, Still years away from home, the Voyager crew were more then just an group of people working together, but a family. With one purpose on there minds to survive and return Home. To return to there Homes and loved ones.

Voyager at the time of building, had very little use for a kitchen, as replicators where used, however being lost in the Delta quadrant had left them with a few problems. Namely supplies that would not last them over the 70 million light years it would take them to return home. One of there first contacts they made was with a small freighter, with one member of the Talaxian race called Neelix who had knowledge of the Caretaker and the people he protected.

The mess hall was the home Neelix made his kitchen, Today the room was rather quiet.

Engineer B'Elanna Torres, the Chief Engineer, and at this moment in time was not feeling up to par, in fact was looking a bit green around the gills. " What the hell did Neelix but in that stew last night?," Holding a hand to her pounding head and another around her waist.

Both Tom Paris and Harry Kim Laughed, then groaned. Ensign Kim squeaked " God knows, but half the crew wont to kill him this morning, the only person who is fine is Seven."

"Yer," Tom muttered, "Neelix has final found some thing that our Borg Friend Likes, He was so pleased."

"Great, just Great, Said Torres with her head resting on the table.

"I don't know about you two, but a trip to sickbay is in order" Tom stood up and was followed unsteadily by his two sickly friends, giving Neelix an evil look as they passed.

"What?" "What did I do" shouted Neelix after there retreating backs. A small chuckle ran around the room.

Sickbay was a mess, sick crew members where placed every were, The Doctor was run off his holographic feet, and was having the time of his life, lecturing the crew on the importance of finding out what your eating instead of just shovelling it down because it taste good. But looking at some of Neelix's dinners it was best not to look to close.

The doctor turn as sickbays doors open "Well, Well, well we are a well three sum.. Over there," Pointing to an empty bed, " You must be the last few to come in here this morning, Neelix's stew has mad quiet an impression." trying to keep the smirk off his face.

"What the hell was in it?" B'Elanna Muttered.

"Oh nothing much, just a herb form the last star system, It seems to create a bad case of space sickness," Pointing a hypo at each of there necks. " This will take of the effects."

"Didn't you check what the hell he was bringing aboard?" Exclaimed the Engineer.

"Off course I did," snapped the Doctor." I informed Neelix that using the Herb in small amounts would cause no harm. I do not however control what Neelix considers a small amount, no doubt he used to much in one pot"

"Really what gave you that idea" Torres said trying to stand straight.

" I see its brought out your sense of humour." Standing back and looking them up and down. "So how are you feeling now?

A sigh was heard. " Thanks doc" Kim and Tom responded with a muttered thanks from Torres not to far behind.

"Yer, yer, get out of here," looking at Torres. " I have some sick people to take care off" Waved the Doctor as the doors open yet again on some very green people.



 

Chapter Two

Janeway stared up at her ceiling what to do about Seven, After all she was the Captain and Captains did not go around eyeing up grew members know matter how good they looked in a silver body suit. Captains were supposed to be above that sort of thing. Above Human needs and wants.

After all it had been four years. Four very long years Janeway my girl, other then Chakotay and his puppy dogs looks you have taken no really notice of anyone until Seven. So what's so special about the Blond Borg.

A Picture of Seven came to mind in a sexy dress singing a slow emotional song in a war torn Bar not so long ago.

"Right" Janeway snorted into the night that's the reason you lying here unable to sleep. That and Neelixs Stew. Although Seven did like it. A smile came to her face at the thought of last nights dinner and seeing Sevens eye's light up when she tasted it. Although it had taken 10 minutes of talking her around for Neelix to get her to try it.

Then there's her Eyes, that you can drown in, not to mention a figure to die for. She's intelligent, Beautiful, And your yourself when your around her, can't say that about some of the men I've been with..

Janeway slowly sat up "gods" and I have a match with Seven this morning. That's the last time I try one of Neelixs stews.

"Janeway to sickbay"

"Yes Captain?"

"I'm on my way in."

"I'm sure you wont be the last today Captain," Came a smug answer.

A short time later.

Standing outside Holodeck Two Janeway was taking deep even breathes. Neelix has a lot to answer for she thought Darkly. Least of which was having the Captain making a trip to sickbay in the early hours of the morning,.The Doctor was not going to let anyone forget this in a hurry. Secondly, Neelix making half the crew sick. Really it's surprising we all haven't died of food poisoning yet. Besides she was dew for a game, with Seven of Nine and the last thing she wonted was to be sick all over the Seven or the Holodeck for that matter.

"Wouldn't that start the day off nicely" Janeway sigh taking another deep breath she walked throw the Holodeck doors. And came to a quick stop and stared around her in wonder.

Instead of the usual grid for there match, a forest was laid out before her, the smell of the woodlands and the noise of the animals making a peaceful change to the humming of the ship.

Seven of Nine late of the Borg collective was standing in the middle of a small woodland clearing surrounded by animals, tress, birds, with a gentle breeze that ruffled the flowers.

Seven was looking around her with mild interest, as the Deer and Rabbits went about there business unconcerned about anything and everything.

"Seven?" Captain Janeway slowly walk towards the tall blond.

Seven turned slowly around and for a split second Janeway saw the innocent look of a child, seeing the wonder in her eyes. Just as quickly the look was gone replaced by a cool mask with little sign of the emotions that lay behind them.

Janeway moved her arm to identify the area "Seven am I early?"

"No Captain this programme was still running when I arrived, I believe this is one of Naomi programmes." Seven replied

Seven took a closer look at Janeway noticing a sleight white look to her usual healthy colour.

"Are you unwell Captain?. Perhaps we should postpone the Game" inquired Seven.

Janeway gave a small laugh "No Seven I'm fine"

"Indeed?."

A small sound came for the forest which got Janeway of the hook.

Seven turned looking across just as the small form of Naomi ran into the small clearing, Eyes bright with excitement.

"Seven do you......em Captain? She squeaked stopping quickly and doing a good imitation of Seven, hands behind her back and standing ramrod straight. "Your normally not this early. Then turned bright red "sorry Captain I wonted to show Seven My new programme, I didn't mean to go into your time."

Janeway had to smile, Naomi was the only child so far born to the Voyage Family, and had taken it upon herself to teach Seven how to have a bit of Childless fun. Seven herself was quiet taken with the girl and spent a good part of her off Duty time playing games and holodeck programmes with her.

" Its not a problem Naomi, I don't spend half the time I would like looking over the programmes we have I tend to stick to the same ones, makes quiet a change for me. Seven should get to see what some of Earth is really like not just what the crew stays about home, she may find she like's what she see's" turning slowly to look at Seven.

Seven gave her a weird look. Seven had know real interest in her Home planet, and could not see the crews fascination in the planet let alone the desire to return there. Having no memory of having been there herself or any family that lives there Her home had always been the Collective she had very few memories of her parents or her life before.

Seven gave a small sign. Captain Janeway was still determined to make her see that returning to Earth would be the best thing for her and learning about Earth and it places and people would only make her feel like she was finally going home. After a Year with the Voyage crew Seven had final come to see them as her collective and her home, returning to Earth would change all of that not to mention how would the Federation take to having a Borg even a Ex-Borg in there mist. However that was in the future the main worry at them moment was staying safe and well worrying about things, would sever her no good and was irrelevant.

"Indeed Captain it would seem that Naomi would agree with you, although Naomi herself has never been to Earth perhaps its mainly curiosity on her part. After all her mother is Human." seven responded.

"Oh yes, Mother tells me about all the things and places we will go when we get there, family I'll meet, My dad and about my grandparents, not to mention all the animals and planets there are. It sounds like a wonderfully place Seven you should come and listen to my mothers stories." Smiled Naomi up at Seven..

"Indeed." Seven muttered giving a good idea of what she thought of stories.

Janeway had to hide a smile Seven was determined not to like Earth but between Naomi and herself may be that would change.

"So were did you get this programme it looks wonderful." Turning around and looking about her. Green grass and trees lined one side and a small lake was to the left with a mountain view behind with if Janeway was not mistaken snow on the top of them.

"Neelix's found it for me, said something about picnics when he was a boy" Naomi frowned looking at Janeway "Captain what's a picnic? Mother said we would have one when her duty shifts were over, it sounds very boring,"

Seven also turn to Janeway waiting a reply. Seven had notices early on that Janeway although a excellent Captain did love to teach, and seemed pleased to be able to explain things to Seven at anytime helping her to grow and learn about social behaviour. Even when Seven had no real interest in the subject much to Seven annoyance. Although Seven had found that over the last few months that listening to Janeways voice was rather pleasant in is own way and looked forward to there discussion.

"Emmmmm picnics, well there when you get together with either family of friends take loads of food and drink with you. Find a beautiful spot, like this, lay out and enjoy each others company, perhaps swim or play games." Janeway replied smiling a little at them memories.

"Indeed I agree the Naomi it does indeed sound like a waste of time and energy."

Just once it would be great to find something that Seven of Nine did not find a waste of time, groaned Janeway.

"Maybe if you were to try it Seven?" An internal grin came to Janeways eyes, eeemmm an idea.

"Maybe the captain can show you Seven" came an innocent voice.

Bingo way to go Naomi.

A sleight panic look came and went across Sevens face "I am sure that Captain Janeway has other things to do then to go picnicking"

"Oh" came from the child.

"Oh I don't know, is been a while. My off duty rotation is up and for the next few days I'm off. I'm sure I could find the time to show you what a picnic is, and how much fun they can be. What do you say Seven?" Grinned Janeway.

Seven gave Naomi a stern look which made Naomi giggle out loud.

Seven was backed into a corner. She could always say No, she had things to do. In which case the Captain would remind her that the Doctor had left instructions that she was not to over work and should have some fun. Secondly this would please the Doctor and just may be get her out of another of his social lessons. Third she would be spending time with the captain and would have all three things tied up into one neat little package.

"Yes I would like to par take in a picnic" came the quiet answer at last.

Janeway and Naomi smiled "Excellent Seven I look forward to it, I'll bring what we need, and get Neelix to make us up a Picnic basket"

Naomi Giggle and looked up at her friend" I've got to go I'll be late for class"

"Thank you for the programme Naomi I will see you tomorrow"

"Bye Seven, Captain"

"So Seven do you wish to stay in this programme or play or match" questioned Janeway.

"Computer.........Seven began..

Chapter Three.

Unfortunately Things being what they are, the picnic had to be postponed as a message from star fleet had been found sent through a old communication rely and had taken much of Janeway and Seven time. They had come upon a Alien form a race of linguistics that had helped un code the message. Unknown to the Voyage crew he was seeking revenge on the crew and Captain for Helping the Borg and Those destroying his race.

Janeway had found out the Seven no longer wish to return to the Borg much to the Captains relief, and that Seven was very unsure of her place on board voyager.

Janeway had promised herself that at the next available time she would show Seven that she was indeed needed not just by Voyage but herself as well.

After all in this life there was Indeed Someone for Everyone its was just a matter of taking a chance.
