Summary : Jim's orphaned nephew has a big secret......
Operation : Amazing
by Rob Morris
"Captain's Log. It is with great apprehension I await the revival of my nephew, Peter. Of 17,00 colonists on Ditkolee 3, he is the only survivor. The Arachnoid creatures took everyone else, including my older sister Samantha and her husband Aurelian. He is all the family I have, and I have successfully petitioned Starfleet to let him stay with me. I hope that will ease his pain. On a happier note, Spock's vision has returned, and as Doctor McCoy learned to his regret, his ears are as sharp as ever."
The boy revived, and cried when he was told the sad news. As he became used to his new home, he found himself not only dealing with survivor's guilt. No, Peter found to his shock and delight that he could do things. Special things. Things no other young boy could do. But these he managed to keep secret. Til one night.
At an opera on Vulcan, 10 figures appeared from nowhere. They were the lion-like Kzinti, no friends of Captain Kirk's.
"Regards, Kirk!!"
But Peter had felt this coming, and moved his uncle out of the line of fire. With a spectacular leap, he put himself in the thick of it. He took out all but the assasins' leader, who now held Jim at phaser-point.
"You're no human, boy. You are a damned arachnoid!"
Peter shook his finger at the Kzinti.
"And, you, bunkie, are in an unfriendly neighborhood."
Jim shifted his weight and fell to the floor. Before the assassin could react, Spock and McCoy were on each side of him, rendering him unconscious by hand and by hypo. Jim looked at his nephew.
"Young man, how-and why--did you do all that? You could have been killed."
"I couldn't let anything happen to you, Uncle Jim. Even if you weren't my uncle, I'd have to do what I did. Those arachnoids' bites gave me great power. You were the one who taught me what that means. After that, I just did whatever I could."
As the other crew members congratulated the young hero, McCoy asked Kirk a question.
"So what sage advice did you give the lad, Jim? This I've gotta hear."
Spock joined in.
"Indeed, Captain. It seems to have had a profound effect upon him."
Jim shrugged.
"When my sister Sam married Aurelian Parker, I knew I might be an uncle soon. So I came up with advice to give the little one, when they were born. Its a simple truth. I told Peter that 'With Great Power There Must Also Come Great Responsibility'."
McCoy and Spock looked at one another as Jim went to purchase a celebratory ice cream for his heroic nephew.
"Spock! How cliched can Jim get?"
"Remember, Doctor--he is our friend."
The opera continued, and was well received. But the night was remembered mainly for one thing : It was the night a real hero was born.
For Peter Parker had saved his Uncle.
