Tiana

"Who is it?"

"Tiana."

That made the woman a little tense. She knew why her companion was there, and she didn't like that.

Don't worry. spoke the symbiote's voice in her mind We'll take care of her easily.

"No." she whispered taking it against her, surprising her "Until we need to act we will calmly play our cards. Even though they're no match for us, these girls are tough."

"Natasha?"

"Give me a minute, there I open you up."

She hid her symbiote in her body and swiftly pulled on a nightgown.

She opened the door, just enough so that the inside was not visible, putting on her best tired face trying to fool her companion.

"What do you want?"

"We need to talk." she replied tersely.

"About what?" she tried to play it off.

"You know very well what about." in her hand the gravitational device was visible.

She tried to gain access, but Natasha locked the door with her body.

"Can it be somewhere else? My room isn't..." she looked around at all the mess of ejaculate strewn everywhere "presentable."

Her companion sighed wearily.

"Meet me in my room in ten minutes."

The redhead nodded to close the door.

We have to finish her off now. Our forces are weak, but not weak enough to take her out.

"Stop harping on that, until we have all the pieces we're not going to make any decisions? Our strength is weak?"

For the moment. We need food.

"You mean..."

Yes. If I want to absorb our enemy I first need all the food your sex can give me to strengthen me.

"Okay, that doesn't sound good. More if Tiana tells the rest of the girls the truth." she sighed tiredly leaning against the door "Let's hope we have enough time."

She headed to the shower and quickly washed her body washing off the smell of sex all over her then changed into black tights and a tight white t-shirt getting ready to go with her partner.

A minute later she was outside her door knocking without much encouragement.

"Come in."

No sooner had her body found itself inside the room than she was greeted by an object thrown in her direction. Thanks to her new reflexes she was able to catch it without a problem. She looked at it to realize it was the gravitational device.

"Hey careful, you might break it... more than it is."

The angry look on Tiana's face, who was sitting on her bed, said it all. She knew the truth.

"Your device was working perfectly."

The symbiote's voice began to ring in her head repeating the same thing over and over again.

Kill her! Finish her off now!

"I... I..." Natasha's head was spinning, she couldn't think of anything.

The accuser got up from her bed and reached over to rest her hand on the girl's shoulder.

"I understand." that surprised both of them "I'm not going to say anything."

"What?"

"I know you have your position taken on the matter and I understand that you want to protect Earth no matter what the cost, so that's why I'm not going to say anything to anyone."

That answer, while within the range of coherence, was not believable enough for Natasha.

"Why? Why would you defend me if you hate me?"

"I don't!..." Tiana snapped "I don't hate you." she looked away embarrassed "I'm far from that."

"What?"

The woman pointed to her bed inviting her to sit down.

Wordlessly she heeded her being promptly escorted.

"You're complicated." she blurted out matter-of-factly.

"Uh... Thank you?"

"No, what I mean is.... For as long as I've known you you've always been the same, a closed, cold, calculating woman with an explosive temper... but a good heart."

"You're losing me."

The young woman scrunched the bridge of her nose and sighed wearily.

"You always complained about my presence on this crew because I was the last one to join and because the way I did it was too strange, but.... You know why I entered the program?"

The redhead shook her head in bewilderment.

"Because of you."

The girl's mouth fell open wide.

"Now you've lost me."

"My parents had worked on the space project for as long as I could remember. The company's facility had been my home for as long as I could remember. There wasn't a single day when I hated everything about there. Why is that? You may be asking yourself. And the answer is simple. There were only so many hours I could see them in a month. That's why I decided that, when I grew up, I would move away from that place. And it didn't get any better when my dad died in an accident because of a failed experiment that was apparently his fault. It was obvious that he was the scapegoat, but no one cared. Everyone started looking down on my mom and putting her down."

"I still don't understand what I have to do with any of this." interrupted the redhead.

"Your first day at the compound." she uttered matter-of-factly "Do you remember?"

"Pretty eventful, I'd come back from the war and the first thing I do is get into a scuffle with facility personnel."

"Do you remember why you got into a fight with them?"

"Pretty hectic, I'd come back from the war and the first thing I do is get into a scuffle with facility personnel."

"Do you remember why you got into a fight with them?"

"Because they were bothering a woman." her voice was decreasing in volume as she understood the situation "Your mother."

"You not only helped her, but you gave me a reason to fight hard. I needed to prove everyone wrong about our family. That's why I trained and studied like no sane person would. Not a single minute was wasted. And I didn't have it easy either. Everyone was against me except for Helen and Doc. But that didn't matter to me and I managed to get my degree in less than a year and, after a couple more trials, my place on this crew, which is where I finally had the pleasure of meeting you and realized I had a new goal too."

"Which one?"

"To be the best version of myself so I could live up to you and you could actually see me."

That stirred something in Natasha. She had to be honest. That was the first time she'd ever really paid attention to her partner, and what she saw she liked. Her skin had a warm tone. Her face possessed Asian features not quite predominant in her eyes allowing her light brown color to show. Her dark brown hair had blonde ends. Her ass was no big deal but she made up for it with a pair of big tits.

In front of her was an extremely attractive woman.

"So..." the dark brown haired one began.

"So?"

"You consider me to be about your height?"

"Maybe if you had a little more aggression."

In response the girl suddenly moved closer to her and planted a soft kiss on her lips.

That act gave Natasha the perfect idea.

"That felt good." the Asian-featured girl mentioned with a blush.

"And it's about to feel better."

She took her head and pulled her close to her for a strong kiss that, as the seconds passed, increased in intensity.

You wanted to get energy? she mentioned to her symbiote telepathically.
