She manages to control herself

After a few minutes, and with an enormous effort, she managed to pull herself together and think of a cunning maneuver, which involved modifying the ventilation system to suck the gas and release it outside the ship. The problem with that idea was that the oxygen was also being sucked out, so she soon began to suffocate. She left his lab and, as best she could, tried to find his girlfriend. She had to make sure she was all right, that was the only thing that mattered to her. Unfortunately she didn't last many more feet before she fell to the floor to then grab his throat as she struggled to breathe.

"He-He-He-Hel" she whispered using his last bit of strength.

His eyes slowly closed until everything was plunged into complete darkness.

"Val? Val please wake up." a voice she knew very well called out to her.

Her eyelids were heavy, but hearing that voice gave her enough strength to open her eyes. The light of a new dawn greeted her warmly along with the love of her life who, realizing that her partner had already awakened, gave her a tight hug.

"Don't ever do that to me again."

"Don't worry, next time I want to have a near **** experience I'll tell you again that your breasts are small." his girlfriend laughed to give her a kiss.

"It's all right girls, she's awake now." Elizabeth's voice echoed through the place.

The couple broke away from the kiss.

"Hey Cap. How are you?"

"I guess you could say fine thanks to you."

"Don't give me that much credit, I just thought what would you do, and the answer was to do something stupid to put my life at risk and save everyone else's."

Elizabeth looked at Helen in confusion.

"I don't know how to take that."

"If she didn't mention the size of your boobs, as a compliment."

All three laughed.

"Okay Doc, now get some rest. I need you to tell us everything that happened in great detail."

A few hours later, in a better state and with a change of clothes, the girl gathered the group.

"Ladies." spoke Valentina energetically.

"What happened in there?" Natasha got straight to the point with a serious look.

Her companion rolled her eyes.

"In a short and simple explanation, the stone released some sort of pheromones throughout the ship."

They all looked thoughtful.

"That explains my dream." declared Laura with a hand over her mouth.

"I think everyone's." Christen added.

"They all dreamed about the palace?" Valentina looked with some excitement at her companions.

Looks of confusion flew around the place.

"No. My dreams were of a different.... kind." admitted Tiana with a somewhat somber countenance "What palace are you talking about?"

Both Helen and Valentina recounted what happened in their shared dream in great detail, except for the parts where they had intercourse, those were just mentioned as if they were nothing.

At the end they all shared worried looks.

"I take the bold guess that, from their faces, all of their dreams or experiences were related to sex, tentacles and black slime." said Doc.

They all looked away with some blushing except for Natasha.

"We need to sort this out." Elizabeth looked at her "Do you think you can do anything?"

"Maybe we could build a better tank that can properly contain that thing now that we are aware of what it can do." said Tiana looking at Helen and Valentina.

"Or we could send it back." suggested Natasha.

They all looked at her, but Tiana was the only one to explode.

"Are you out of your mind? We just got an incredible power source that can save the Earth and now you want to give it back?"

The curly-haired redhead walked up to the girl until they were face to face. Christen's hand on her chest served as the only defense in case they decided to take things to a more physical plane.

"No, what we have is an alien object that, according to these two's dreams, might have a species that has intentions of taking over everyone. Now tell me do you want to be the one responsible for our planet being conquered by black masses?"

Christen decided to intervene completely and pulled them apart regardless of any comments.

"As much as I would love to see a good girl fight I don't think this is the time or place. Besides fighting over a decision that isn't even yours is extremely ridiculous." she turned her gaze to Elizabeth. "Cap, it's your decision. What do we do?"
