Why this must be read: Joanna McCoy is all grown up (well 16) and causing hell for her father while visiting the Enterprise. She's rebellious because she's at that age, and works it out in different ways in her visit. The ensemble cast adds to the joy of this story and makes you really adore this spunky offspring of our favorite doctor.
Her father is waiting for her in front of the pad, arms crossed. Jim Kirk is at his side with that giant, crooked grin that has perhaps only become wider than in her memory.
Joanna stands, unmoving, for a long moment as her father looks at her because she wants him to see how much she's changed. She's sure he knows, academically, but she wants him to feel it, to understand with certainty that while he was exploring strange new worlds, the one he left behind kept turning.
She counts longer legs, tighter pants, and higher boots among the new assets that aren't discernible from monthly video communications that end at the neck. He's already heard the way she talks now, though. He's seen the hard edges of her smiles for him. Now he can have the complete fucking picture, live and in all dimensions.
His pause is brief. He comes to meet her and doesn't hesitate before wrapping her in an awkward hug; when she was younger, she used to tell him he needed more practice. Joanna stiffens and barely raises her arms. She shoves her hands in her pockets once he releases her.
"New look?" he grumbles mildly, tugging at the sleeve of her soft, black, leather jacket.
Joanna shrugs. "Gary got me a bike for my birthday," she explains dismissively. "Perfect marks last semester." Again.
