Defiant, the fierce fighting bunny ship girl

kclcmdr (Jake and Defiant-chan)

## Story Summary

*Defiant's avatar resembles a young girl with bunny ears. This is because Benjamin Sisko saw her as his daughter. And she thus took on a form of a teenaged girl with bunny ears in reference to the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog (because Sisko is a classy son of a bitch so of course he'd know of Monty Python) due to how their relationship evolved. So when he brings her to DS9, Jake Sisko is actually a bit jealous of the relationship between his dad and Defiant.*

### Sisko & Jake, DefiantGS

Sisko: "Where my child?"

Jake: "I'm right here, dad."

Sisko: "No, I mean the one I'm not disappointed in."

Defiant in her case actually likes Jake very much, and just wants to be accepted as a member of the family. She was born to protect the Federation and prevent another tragedy like Wolf 359 from ever happening again. So she feels like she needs to protect her family above everything else. Which can also be very interesting.

### Jake and Defiant-chan

Defiant Sis "Jake! Big Brother!! " <hugs tightly>

Jake " Offfph!! Hi, D. "

<BLINK> Q emerges!!

Jake & Defiant " ... Q!!!??? "

Q " Why, hello.. what do we have here? A Girl .. Ship?? In our universe!? Inconceivable!! Yet the proof is in the pudding!! "

Jake scowls in Q's slangs while Defiant scowls in annoyance

Defiant " Jake, Permission to punch Q just like Daddy did, please. "

Jake " What? Why? In Fact, I don't think Q would even allow that to happen, D. "

Defiant " 'Cause daddy knock him on his duff for being annoying and he's being annoying & a meanie, Jake. "

Jake " Ahhhh.. "

Q " Worry not.. In Fact. I will let you try, little insignificant one. "

Jake " Wha... "

Defiant pulls her fist back and smacks Q in the jaw

Q & Defiant " Owwwww?!?! "

Jake ..... Huh? You okay, D? "

Defiant " Yeah... just hurt my knuckles on knucklehead, Jake... owww. "

Jake " Better we go visit Bashir for a medical checkup, huh, what, Q?? "

Q " Unbelievable.. A Chip off the old Block. " Disappears in a blink of flashing light.

Odo arrives with his Bajoran security detail " What just exactly had happen here, Jake & Defiant? And why is there a crowd looking stultify ?? "

Jake " You won't believe.. "

Defiant " Q was being a meanie so I did what Daddy did to Q and punch him & Jake wants Dr. Bashir to check on my ouchie, Constable Odo."

Odo " ... Typical ... alright, everybody, disperse and on your way... just another day on DS9. You two go to medical to have her checked up... "

Defiant " Thank you, Constable Odo. "

Odo " HMMMPT! Let's go back on patrol... "

### Defiant and Jake

The little holographic girl was waiting for Jake when he entered his quarters. He stopped short and scowled in confused annoyance.

"What?" He asked, ruder than he had intended. It was just that seeing her reminded him that his father had been spending more time with her than him.

The hologram looked up at him, looking concerned.

"Hello Jake," she said. "I'm sorry but I wanted to talk to you alone."

"Why?" Jake asked, feeling his annoyance rise. He walked off to the couch and sat down on it, pulling up a PADD to begin looking through a hologame. Defiant hesitated, before she walked up and pushed the PADD down. She looked at him intently, and took a deep breath.

"Jake... I know it's weird. Don't you think I know it's weird?" Defiant asked. "But... I see you as my brother. Can you see me as your sister?"

Jake scowled.

"You're not my sister," he stated, firm and angry. "You're a machine! You're a ship! What would you know about family?"

Defiant looked down at the floor, her ears drooping.

"All I've ever wanted is a family. After all, every moment of Wolf 359 was burned into my mind. As though I was there."

She looked back up at Jake, whose jaw had dropped in disbelief. The girl took a breath, and continued.

"With you."

Jake had no idea how to handle this. It was bringing up a flood of emotions he wasn't sure he could handle.

"I was born to avenge all those dead... Including your mother," Defiant said. "But it's my choice now. And more than that, I want you all happy and safe. Because that is something worth protecting."

She took another deep breath, the hologram struggling with this.

"Because thanks to... Captain Sisko, I know what it feels like... To lose it all. And stand back up and say, 'no more. Not again.'"

Her face transformed. From the sad little girl, to a hardened, determined warrior. There was such intensity in her gaze it nearly made Jake pull away. Defiant seemed... Bigger somehow, and stronger.

"The Borg took so much from you, from everyone... I won't let it happen again," she said. "I carry the hopes of everyone. I don't want to compete with your father for his affection. I'll fight for him or you or anyone else, and keep them safe. Even if you hate me. I just want a family... So please. May I be your family?"

Jake honestly didn't know how to handle this at all. He knew the girl was just a projection of light and forcefields. He knew her real body was a heavily armored, super powerful warship docked on the other side of the station. But there was real pain in those eyes, human pain. She didn't have any choice in feeling it, anymore than he and his father had to feel the pain of losing his mother.

So he hugged her tightly, and held her. The little girl hugged him back.

It was nice.
