st_reboot Journey to Drabble challenge. Not enough love for the Angsty Romulans out there....)
The work is hard, but it is honest work. Mining is mining. They can’t push him any harder than he pushes himself. The cold….. he doesn’t feel the cold. The pain burns in him hot enough to stave off the iciest Rura Penthe night.
Nero can’t help but dwell on the past – seeing Romulas crumble before him, remembering his failed promise to Mandana to return, knowing he will never see her again, or their son, ever.
Sometimes, he lets himself dwell on the future. The Narada is out there, and their time will come. This life…. This won’t last. He can be patient.
He takes some little satisfaction in knowing, also, that things have already changed. It all became clear after they emerged from the singularity, the first ship the encountered manned by just the kind of overconfident, arrogant, presumptuous Starfleet dog that made his blood boil. But the date – and the ship, the Kelvin – had all clicked in his mind. It was just the start of his revenge. Maybe James Kirk would never been born. Maybe he would ever meet Spock. Maybe a million things would change, now, that would change what had happened to his world…
He will find out. And in time he will have his true revenge.
