</div></div><span style="font-family: 'Didact Gothic', 'sans-serif'">Thankfully, the team seemed to agree with the choice of action and set about their duties, leaving her alone with Carl. He seemed.. more curious than mean. Spineless, sure, but he'd supported her concept of giving birth to save her child, and that would not be forgotten. He seemed overjoyed, much like she was. It was in his tone, in his body language. "I'm no miracle, the man that I... He changed me," She murmured softly, sadness touched her heart before she wiped a tear from her cheeks. "Well, that's a relief. I enjoy having a body." Zara couldn't stop looking toward the screen; it brought a warmth into her that she never dreamed of. He was hers, a little miracle and bundle of joy. "I suppose we'll be back to forcing the birth when they get ba---" Zara paused as she heard a familiar voice, causing her stomach to drop in complete shock. Kal?<br/>
<br/>
The moment she set her gaze upon the man she instant knew he was the one she loved, maybe different in some respects, but he was... the foundations of who she attached to. A warm smile ebbed from her features, bringing forth the silver in her orbs to glisten like stars in the sky. He looked... maybe even more impressive than he had before; the imperfections etched over his features were... incredible. Her mind cast back to when his pod and Max's pod had crashed together, had that truly been all it took? Zara did notice the lack of savage, large flesh hanging between his legs, but she had no doubt the way his body healed was in an evolutionary manner.<br/>
<br/>
Silvery blue orbs didn't leave him, and the warm smile on her lips didn't stop growing as she observed her lover. There was a sense of pure awe inside of her; of how much a miracle <i>he</i> was. Her warrior. There was an odd amusement to watching how scared Carl was when he saw Kal, and it was almost arousing, had she not been exhausted from using her energy to tear into the useless commander. <br/>
<br/>
When he approached her, the female felt a swift inhale fill her lungs before nuzzling up to meet his forehead with hers. Tears stung in her eyes as she felt the warmth of his hand against her belly, he was there, he was real. A gentle laugh escaped her as she wiped away her tears, she could sense the emotion in his voice; he was certainly more human than she remembered. "You didn't mean to leave, I know, it wasn't in your power," She whispered softly, her full lips blossoming into a loving smile as she gazed up toward him. One hand slipped up to caress along his jaw, inspecting her new lover. "I thought I'd lost you, I... Don't know what I would do without you," She confessed softly. Her tenderness was disrupted as she heard footfalls approaching, drawing her attention from Kal.<br/>
<br/>
As her warrior turned to face the team, and took his place between them, Zara observed the others and noted their reactions. Fear, concern... But they didn't seem trigger happy. "You killed the whole group alone?" The female piped up as she slipped down from resting on the bed to stand on her feet, moving beside her lover. She noticed the helmet that formed over his head, she was interested in how he had changed. It was like he was another being, yet so much closer to her. As Kal offered her something she had desired, the female paused. She could choose who to be now, it wasn't a case of how she'd changed... It was deciding who she wanted to be despite what she was. Would she be cruel or would she be kind?<br/>
<br/>
"I think we can all agree the plans have changed," She spoke firmly, her hand slipping up to caress her lover's arm, easing her form to press against his, belly included. "Our deal was to save my child's life over mine, but now I have something to live for." There was a soft, warm smile as she beamed up toward Kal, looking upon him as if he was her god, her maker. "You still have the other corpse, correct?" She spoke directly to Nathan, and it showed her care and concern. He'd agreed to take her deal, and he'd kept Jonah at bay. He deserved some mercy, in her eyes. Especially because of the regret he'd seemed to show over her pain. <br/>
<br/>
A ripple of pain spanned across her stomach, causing a gasp from her lips as her fingers curled tightly around Kal's arm. "Carl," She breathed softly, "How close was I?" Zara began to pant lightly, immediately switching to long, deliberate breaths. "Not far off, the fetus looked fully formed, it just needed to grow in weight.. Interesting, do you feel a lot of pain?" Zara shook her head slightly, "No, it's in waves, nothing compared to the probe," Her gaze shot to Jonah, clearly she was not impressed with how much he'd enjoyed hurting her. "Nathan, I was ready to give everything to save my child. Imagine what his father will do to protect us." Her gaze met his, a clear warning. "You have the other corpse, it's still a paycheck." She wondered if he'd accept it, she hoped he would.<br/>
<br/>
Jonah seemed to be simmering with hate, just as she was. The fact that the probe had caused incredible discomfort to her flesh, which seemed to be continuing, caused her hate to grow for him. It was only when she felt warmth trickle down along her inner thighs that she glanced down, suddenly feeling fear creep into her mind. Blood had found its way down along her legs, tickling her flesh as it dripped. "Carl..." The female paused, glancing toward him before backing slowly to ease herself back onto the medical bed. "Please tell me this is just due to the probe," her heart began to race uncontrollably as fear consumed her mind. "If I suffer any further loss, I'm coming for you Jonah, and nobody is going to save you." Her tone darkened, "I felt every inch of joy you felt when I was in agony. You pathetic piece of shit," Zara had never sounded so furious, or afraid.<br/>
<br/>
"Doc," She pleaded softly, but he was far too scared of Kal to step closer to her. "May I, sir?" He glanced to Kal before making his way toward Zara with the same tool he'd checked the baby with the first time. After a quick check of the swollen belly, he nodded, "All fine.. Maybe the probe was pushed too high, it hasn't really been tested before... Well, not in this situation." Zara gave a slight nod, trying to calm herself down. Yet, it wasn't working. Panic lived in her mind at the thought of losing their child. "The other ship, we can take that and go home," Zara gazed toward Kal, but it was Carl's soft, shaky voice that drew her attention, "It's not wise to move so much, you've grown a lot over the last few minutes. If the child continues to grow from the human DNA, you'll give birth right on the spot." <br/>
<br/>
Zara's gaze flickered to Kal, she knew she trusted him more than anyone, if he felt it was okay to move her, she would go with him. If the team decided to fight, then she would be willing to bet Kal would break their necks before they could touch her. Zara could feel the change in the size of her belly, and the weight of it. It had her thinking about the future. "What if... we all worked together?" the female finally rose again, ignoring the drying blood along her legs from the wound Jonah had inflicted. "Weyland isn't going to stop searching, I know him better than most. He's going to send people for us." She eyed Kal, "For our son," There was a glisten of pride in her eyes, "We're having a boy, by the way," The raven haired woman winked at her lover before she gazed to Nathan. "How about you get paid for the rest of your life, and we get a safe home." A wicked grin crossed her lips as she continued. "You see, Weyland is a paranoid freak. He has a few staff he trusts, and we can handle those numbers. You could bring us all in, we could pretend to be in stasis.. You get the initial payment, and then we kill every last bastard we can find." The woman gazed up toward Kal. "Your team follows us, takes out the remaining survivors. Then we hack into his system and cover our tracks, make some enemies. Rival companies.. We could take out the biggest asshole we've dealt with, and we'd never have to meet again. Or lose a thing." Why was she thinking of such a plan? Because she knew she'd been tracked. Kal's first death had been because they kept tabs on her, keeping her like a piece of bait.<br/>
<br/>
"And if you're concerned about betraying Weyland, he dropped my team in as bait. I'm sure you know that by now since you all were waiting to take us back." Zara made her way toward the group, slowly. There was still a subtle sway to her hips, and a rather strong allure. It was almost intensified by the way she glowed due to her son growing inside of her. "Nathan, I saw the way you looked when you knew what had to happen to save my son, you're still very human, even if you try not to be. I'm proposing you join us. You... allow us to embrace you. We work as one. I was scared at first, I didn't believe that ... being infused like I am could mean I'm human," she offered a warm smile before hinting to Kal, "But I feel love stronger than I ever have. I feel pleasure and pain far more intensely. What I'm offering is to become superhuman. Being what we are doesn't make you less, it makes you more." The female leaned forward to take the knife she saw fastened to his belt. Her body was close to his as she drew the weapon out and gave a slight slice to her forearm before offering it to him. "All you have to do is say yes. With all of us as one, they don't stand a chance. Then we can go back to living our lives in luxury."</span>
