My challenge is simple. Adapt a really good line you've heard on TV or in
movies to a short fic. I'll start.

Title : Not Even Close

Author : Rob Morris

Series : The TOS-based AU, The Ancient Destroyer Cycle

Rating : PG13, for implied violence

Part : 1/1

Response to Great Lines Challenge - The line is from an episode of 'Teen
Titans' called 'The Apprentice'

Characters : Peter Kirk, Admiral Cartwright

Summary : A captive is not a slave, if that's what he chooses...

Not Even Close
by Rob Morris


2275

Brock Cartwright was in charge of Starfleet, but not of one young man.


"Total assault. Mental invasion. Tortures of hell devised just for you."


He slammed the cryo-stasis chamber.


"None of it broke you. But make no mistake, Peter Kirk. You will give us Lord
Ghidorah. You will willingly swear allegiance to him, and to us. You will call
him Master. You will call Admiralty Hall your home. You will call me Father!!"


Roaring in defiance, a telepathic voice that could be dampened but never
silenced arose from the stasis tube.


"Your little dragon is not my Master!" 


Cartwright cowered as a large image of the USS Enterprise appeared in the room.


"This is my home!"


Cartwright got to his feet just in time to see the room flooded with hundreds
of James T. Kirks, standing about him in various uniforms and stances. No
matter what powers Peter had, it was the elder Kirk who looked quite literally
invincible.


"And I already have a father."

--------------------------------------------

"Your would-be attackers don't like you. Your would-be rescuers don't like you.
Harry, *most* people don't like you." - Peter Kirk to Harry Mudd, 'Lawful
Warrant'
