[She's feels so stupid, but it's hard to take one of Jim's peptalks, after everything that happened. After all the vulgar words he threw like knives hit in just the right places, because, of course, he knew her. Knew her heart. Knew the things that had broken her before.
She doesn't blame him, still, but that doesn't make it easier.
Still, she has to keep it together. Just a little bit longer. Just until she knows Peter is safe.
Just like with Jim, Spock looks terrible. Less human, more monstrous. The green blood is also striking, making him seem even more otherworldly in the moment. But none of that matters once he brings Peter out into the open.]
Peter! [He's alive. He's breathing. He looks terrible, but he's alive. It takes everything in Gwen not to rush to him in that moment, but she knows the Vulcan won't let her close to him, not when he still hasn't seen Jim. She pulls her eyes from Peter back to Spock, her fists tightening.
Keep it cool, Stacy. Stick to the plan, and you'll save them both.
She finally dares to turn her gaze back to where Jim is hiding, and she waves for him to come out. Once Spock had Jim in his sights, she didn't know how much time she would have, but she would have to be quick. Get Peter out of the way, and heal Spock. She could do this. She had to do this.]
