Big Reveals [for losthunter]
Jim has been in Starfleet Medical for eight weeks before he's finally released. Which is not to say he's been cleared for duty, mind you. But he's recovered enough not to need that kind of constant medical supervision, able to take the rest of his treatment as outpatient. He has physical therapy three times a week, exercises to do at home, and of course Doctor McCoy is still keeping an eagle eye on his diet, something that annoys Jim to no end.
Of course, that's nothing compared to finding out that his Starfleet-assigned apartment is buried under the crashed bulk of the USS Vengeance.
Jim doesn't really give a shit about the apartment itself. Yeah, it was kind of nice to have his own place, but it's never been home. It was just a place to stay whenever the Enterprise was in port. And though it was more decorated than his quarters onboard the ship, it was all meaningless knickknacks, nothing with any real sentimental value.
No, he's more pissed about the fact that nobody told him until a month after he woke up from the coma.
He understands why, of course. McCoy gave him the whole spiel about stress being bad for his recovery, about not needing to worry himself about things he couldn't do anything about, that by the time this happened Jim was already dead, but it's a heavy blow to realize that the loss of life was far, far greater than he'd realized. Tens of thousands died or lost their homes. Yet Jim Kirk lives, when he has no right to be breathing, let alone leaving the hospital.
And it's hard not to be in a foul mood when he realizes that the only place he has to stay on Earth is in Iowa, at the old neglected Kirk homestead. At least it's not likely to be bugged by Section 31, and Jim spends two entire days sweeping the place for surveillance devices, and another three to get the house in order, before he's reassured enough to have visitors.

I did have thoughts regarding new Hunter plot. So glad for that.
I thought he did find a Nexus door to Kendra's past. Her people. And he invited Jim along for the adventure.]
no subject
I would be up for Hunter plot.
Also, if you want to do stuff with Faris I would be up for that too. I have been neglecting him lately.]
no subject
Poor Faris. He is not forgotten!]
no subject
I think Jim would get along with Faris if you want me to bring both of them to the Hunter plot. :) Though it is also a little funny to me that I keep playing both characters that I want to have meet sometimes. *coughJackHarknesscough*]
no subject
Faris would be more than welcome to come along. By the way Jim, have you met my living tattoo... lol
*coughIwantthistoocough*]
no subject
I would be so happy to do both Faris and Jim!
Hahaha it's almost too bad Jack is dating Ianto and trying to be monogamous for his boyfriend's sake, or I would guarantee that if Jim and Jack meet, they'd suggest a threesome with Hunter.]
no subject
Just his luck.]

I am going off the assumption that Faris found the door back to his universe, so he is not living with Hunter anymore. But Hunter is still a back-up host when Faris is visiting to the Nexus.
