Hayes/Reed is the slash ship between J. Hayes and Malcolm Reed from the Star Trek fandom.

Canon
THE XINDI

Hayes and Reed are discussing plans when T’Pol enters. Malcolm has a plan but reveals that Hayes believes that Reed’s team is to valuable to bring below, and that he should take his own men instead. Hayes believes they should stay above in case there’s a boarding party, and they can be defended better by a team that knows Enterprise inside and out. Reed argues that he and his men will be back before that ever happens. T’Pol leaves the decision up to Reed but she agrees with Hayes. Reed tells Hayes to select the men, but he will be leading the mission. Hayes agrees and leaves. Hayes reminds Reed of his military family, and comments that Hayes only wanted Reed’s men on the ship because he thought the MACO’s could do it better.

THE SHIPMENT

Reed and Hayes join Captain Archer on a mission to Xindi colony. The three find the colony and go radio silent to avoid being detected. They break into a lab, but have to hide when some of the Xindi show up. They leave the lab with some of the material it was producing and send it up to Enterprise. Hayes and Reed both believe that they should destroy the compound given that it has something to do with creating the weapon, but Archer wants to find out where they’re sending the chemical. The three then find the home of one of the Xindi scientists, Gralik, and confront him. Reed and Hayes check around the house but find no one.

The next day several ships arrive to get the pieces of the weapon. Hayes and Reed keep a lookout on Gralik’s house, while Archer talks to him. They eventually have to move Gralik to the facility but something starts to close in on them. They find out that they’re Seekers, Drone like creachers used for spying. Gralik suggests they hide in the caves to avoid being caught. Once they reach the caves Gralik is let go in order to sabotage the Xindi. Hayes and Reed both think it’s a bad idea to let Gralik go, since he could lead the other Xindi back to them. The two both do surveillance on the facility and report back to Archer while doing so. They keep an eye on him once he heads in.
