Naara stood there with an evil little grin on her face. "Physical... you seem to forget I'm Orion, love." Avery cocked an eyebrow in Naara's direction. "How in the worlds could I forget that?”

 

"Because you act like you're blind! You've refused to see me as a woman since I joined Arcadia!" She stalked over to a biobed, openly pouting.

 

Avery began walking towards one of the private rooms in Sickbay motioning her to follow him. "I do not refuse to see you as a woman, Naara. But...it's just…"

 

She whipped around cutting him off as he paused mid sentence, her attractive face scrunched into a scowl. "So tell me more about physical, Avery."

 

He closed the door behind them. "Well, basically I examine you from head to toe. Make sure everything is working properly."

 

"Sounds heavenly. I can think of better ways for you to do it than with scanners."

 

Avery sighed a bit as he rolled a cart over to her. "Well....it is not all done with scanners....therein lies the uncomfortable part." He said, as he picked up a tricorder and began scanning her.

 

"Oh, I don't get uncomfortable about anything, dear. Remember what I was before I came here," she reminded, an evil glint possessing her eyes. He looked back at her, his voice serious but kind. "Well, sometimes discomfort is a good thing, it teaches us our limits." He replied as he moved down the length of her body finishing up the skeletal scan.

 

The smile disappeared. "Discomfort! I thought you meant that I'd be uncomfortable stripping." The scowl returned in its green splendor.

 

"Relax Naara." Avery picked up a small light and turned it on. "Say Ahh."

 

"Ahh...my handsome Bajoran lover."

 

"Ahhh will suffice." Avery said after examining her mouth.

 

She sighed. "You know I'm here to make you happy."

 

"You have no debt to me. You may do as you please."

 

"I may?" Her face brightening, she quickly moved her lips to Avery's.

 

Her lips were warm on his, his eyes closed as his head turned sideways. Their mouths began to open and for a brief second Avery let him be taken away by the moment… Then quickly he broke away and turned to the medical cart, busing himself with instruments laying on it.

 

She smiled, the calculating part of her kicking in as she started to massage his neck. "How do you resist me, Avery?"

 

He felt her touch, the intoxicating feel of her hands on his neck. That was the question wasn't it? Why did he resist? Again his eyes closed, he felt his neck relaxing under her touch...oh he wanted to give in.....oh prophets did he want to....

 

She turned him around gently, looking into his eyes. "You're so handsome. You know that." Naara kissed him again, this time with more fire; more passion. And as she did, he caught her arms in his hands...pulling her closer. He felt his control slipping away, his mind raced… Then all at once his rational mind flashed back into control and took back over... He pushed her away, falling back to a corner of the room.

 

Angered, she hissed at him like a wildcat. "I don't appreciate that."

 

"Naara...I can't." Avery said, breathing heavily. "It is just not me... I do not do these kinds of things."

 

"You just…did."

 

"It is just not me...."

 

"Obviously it's you," she said, her voice rising. Turning her back on him for a moment, she acquainted herself with the corner of the room he had pushed her to. "Very well, Doctor. Continue your examination."

 

"Naara..." Avery sighed as he walked up behind her.

 

She inhaled deeply before turning to him. "Why must you act like prim and proper Starfleet officer? You know damned well it's just a facade."

 

"Naara, the fact is...you are not a slave anymore. I do not see you as one. I never did." He paused, choosing his words carefully "When we first met, I saw a woman, not a being to be toyed with."

 

She was quiet for a moment, thinking. "Where I come from, being toyed with isn't a bad thing."

 

"Where I come from, being respected matters. A lot." He said as he gently brushed the side of her face, removing the hair from her eyes.

 

She looked up. "Two very different worlds, I dare say."

 

Avery sighed down at her. "Very..."

 

He looked into her eyes. "But this would be a boring friendship if we always agreed." He said with a smirk.

 

"Friendship? That's right. Just friends, wasn't it, from when I became an ensign." A touch of regret rang in her voice. "I want to be more than your friend, but it's better than nothing, Avery."

 

His tone matched hers when he spoke again. "Aye, friends..." His eyes held hers as he paused for a moment. "At least...for now." He smiled at her, a bit playfully.

 

"How long is "for now"?"

 

He inhaled deeply. "I find time is an odd thing. The future is...unpredictable." He looked away for the briefest of moments. "Tis best not to question time, only wait and try to enjoy the ride." He knew that what he had just said was something he could not do, time was something he questioned constantly, he only hoped the words would help Naara.

 

She nodded, quieted for the moment. Her one track mind soon branched into another thought, content with not shacking up with the Bajoran for a moment. "We've still not yet finished the physical, Avery."

 

A true smile returned to his face. A feeling of peace with the current situation, if not al the others, came to him...at least for the time being. "No, I suppose we have not." He motioned back to the biobed.

 

Taking a seat, she avoided looking at his eyes. "Where did we leave off?"

 

 

Avery's cheeks flushed a bit as he looked at her. "Well....the next part is the awkward part I mentioned."

 

Her clear eyes had a tinge of worry. "Yes?"

 

He turned back to the cart beside the biobed. "Of course I will understand, and take no offense if you would prefer Miranda take over at this point..." Avery was starting to ramble a bit nervously.

 

Naara rolled her eyes, smacking him lightly on the face. "Be professional."

 

Being professional. Yes that was the proper course of action here. So, when next he spoke, it was in the most matter of fact way he could manage. "Very well, please remove your clothing, Ensign."

 

Her eyes lit up. "You're finally making sense!" Almost a little too eagerly, she unzipped her uniform.

 

 

Avery watched with professional eyes as she stripped. Keeping himself in complete Doctor mode. "Ok, I will get this over with as quickly as possible."

 

"No need to rush. Enjoy the view if you want. Most men paid for it."

 

Avery raised an eyebrow at the comment. "Your enjoying this, aren't you?" He sighed...Orions. He continued with the examination, as a complete professional. This was, after all, what he was trained for.

 

"Mmhmm. I am. It's more natural for me."

 

"I am a Doctor, Naara. I have done many such physicals.” He paused for a moment. “Are you implying you think I am uncomfortable?" He completed the final part of her examination as she replied.

 

"Sure you've done physicals, but not with a woman that looked as good as me. Admit it."

 

He purposefully ignored her last comment. "You may put your clothes back on now, the examination is over." Avery said as he averted his eyes, still amazed that with all the medical science out there today, this was still the only way to due a true physical.

 

She did a little faux pout. "Do I have to?"

 

"Yes,"

 

"Is that an order?"

 

"Does it have to be?" He asked, annoyance creeping it's way into his voice.

 

“Fine... fine..." she said, rolling her eyes once more as she pulled the uniform back on. “Quit acting so shocked. I'm sure you've seen many women in the nude, getting physical, not just getting a physical." Smirking, she adjusted the uniform collar. "You may cease to avert your eyes, Sir Galahad."

 

He turned back to her. "Does respect just ###### you off or something?" He asked, rolling the cart back to its place in the corner.

 

Her voice took on a simpering, sweet air. "Just a big change from what I'm used to." She came up behind him, kissing him delicately on the cheek. "I assume I'm not dying, correct?"

 

"Your fine physically...." He trailed off.

 

"And mentally I'm a basket case." Pressing a finger to his lips, she kept him from speaking. "Just don't tell anyone else, and it'll be our little secret."

 

He smiled underneath her finger. "My lips are sealed."

 

Trotting towards the door to Sickbay, she blew him a kiss. "See you around... friend..." she said, winking as she exited.

 

Avery just shook his head. "See you around." He walked out into Main Sickbay as Naara exited. He looked up at the chrono on the wall and noticed it was 5 minutes past time for his shift to end. Naara’s physical had served to distract his mind for a bit, turning his thoughts away from recent events and ghosts. But now they were returning, he could feel it. Miranda seemed to have everything under control here, so after a few brief words with the rest of the Medical staff he made his way out the double doors. Avery needed a drink.
