Mission: The Lost Brother

Soran walked into sickbay, "I'm here to see Lieutenant London."

"I'll see if he's awake," The went and came back a few moments later. "He's awake, just try not to get him agitated."

If Soran realized the weary look the nurse was giving him he gave no indication. "Thank you, I'll do my best."

Tasin was bored out of his skull. He could use his arms and hands but he was told to rest completely and give the nerves in his spine a chance to regrow. At least he was not in too much pain at the moment but that was all the good he could think of.

Hello there Tas, don't get up." Soran smiled.

"Oh, you are still the same old bastard with an absolutely disgusting sense of humour." Tasin growled.

"I'm sorry this happened to you," The Angosian said. "If you're half as tenacious as your father you're gonna pull through just fine."

He snorted. "At least the nurses are pretty. I may be able to score here for ... well for later."

"You should take more care with your love life now," Soran sighed. "Or you'll have problems later."

"What do you mean? You can never have enough women. Come on, I know you." He laughed.

"I've never chased anyone and always been honest about my motives and intentions." Soran smiled. "Aside from a few misunderstandings it's always worked well for me, most of my exes are on good terms with me. Besides as I've gotten older I've found myself wanting to settle down."

"Oh man!" Tasin grinned. "You are turning serious! And on good terms with your exes. I thought better of you, brother. Don't tell me I am going to be the only one chasing tale from now on. You know my brother Frank is a goody two shoes. And my younger brothers are way too young for me to hang out with. "

Soran sighed, "you really don't understand me. I've never chased 'tail,' I've pursued comfort from those with similar goals. That worked well when I was a young soldier going in and out of war zones. You've been chasing anyone with a pretty face."

"Guilty." Tasin goofed. "and it is such a fun hobby as well. And you are too young to settle down, Ren. You can't leave me all on my own, especially now."

"Thank you for the compliment, but I'm pushing forty." He smiled. " I'm not going anywhere and you're going to walk again."

"I really hope so, man." Tasin said the smile still in place. "I have seen my father become an invalid at a way too young age."

"Your father is far from an invalid and your injuries are severe, but you've got a lot going for you." Soran smiled. ""I'm sure you'll be up annoying siblings and cousins in no time."

"Moi annoying? How dare you Ren!" He said with mock indignation. "Say you could not smuggle some beer in here or something stronger? I would be for ever in your debt."

"I'll see what I can do," He sighed. "I've begun dating Tony so I hope I can settle down successfully."

"you what now? You are dating saint Antonia? Man!"

"Yes," he laughed "I tried to talk her out of it."

"Oh god. That means you will have to deal with aunt Aleck and the old dictator." He did not mention uncle Richard as he was pretty laid back.

"I have her blessing," Soran smiled

"That helps. You could not date if aunt Aleck was against you. Now talking about the family. Nick might not be as injured as I am but believe me, that boy had it rougher."

"I know," Soran sighed, "that boy will need serious help.:

"They did a number on him. And they knew exactly who we were and how to pick him as the weakest and torture him in spirit." Tasin said. "It was heartbreaking to watch."

"I'm sure it was," Soren looked away thinking of his own time in the Tarsian prison ship.

"You know I have so much time to think right now. And it may come as a shock to you, I do have a brain." He smirked. "Something is off here. They had too much personal knowledge to get to us. It did not work with me. Got that hard Welsh head from both sides. But Nicky.... something is fishy here, Ren. It scares me."

"I'll get to the bottom of this! You can bank on that boy." Soran said solemnly.

"THank you. I know I can leave that to you. Now if you could send the prettiest women on the ship my way it would make me a very happy man."

"The prettiest ones are out of your league," Soran said with a smirk. "But I'll send in the nurse on duty."

"Thank you my friend." Tasin grinned. "I need a lot of attention right now. And we will see about the pretty ones."

"The beautiful Trill in charge of the night shift is a friend of mine, don't upset her. I'd be very displeased." He said softly.

"Hey! I am a gentleman. Remember I was raised among strong women. Besides I don't think I have it in me to ravish anyone right now."

He smiled , "your going to be ok."

"I hope so. Mum and dad don't need to be worrying about me as well right now."
