"Seven are you damaged?" Her eyes opened to a startled looking Queen looking down at her running her hands over her checking for any signs of wounds. Seven's body ached all over as she struggled to sit up and push her hands away. She gasped when the Queen effortless picked her up and carried her into a room with a large bed. It was Seven's room. She set the human gently on the bed and surprised her further by climbing in beside her and tugging her tenderly into her arms.
Seven was thoroughly confused by this action, her head was being held firmly to the hollow of the Queen's neck but it was not hurting, instead it was as if the Queen feared Seven would disappear if she released her. She felt another hand pull her fully into the artificial body. "I- I do not seem to be damaged. "The Queen nodded and flexed her arms pulling Seven even tighter into her, she felt kisses being feathered on her hair but chose to remain silent. This new show of affection both unsettled and soothed her, something she felt mildly guilty of even though she'd longed for this kind of nearness. She hoped the Queen would continue with this kind of gentleness, it was a nice change to the usual abuse she was subjected to.
"Do not ever do that again! You are human now, not Borg, even though the nano probes remain you do not have the necessary capabilities to use them efficiently." The Queen pulled away to look at Seven. "Ask but I cannot always give in to your demands. I must assimilate you know this." Seven remembered how they'd gotten here. She'd disrupted the Queen's plans to assimilate a nursery ship. There were children on board. She'd succeeded but the manifold nearest to her had exploded knocking her out cold. She'd expected the Queen to be angry but the sympathy and kindness she received instead….was new.
She tried to communicate her confusion but was tugged back into the Queen before she could speak, their faces a breath apart. "Do not risk yourself unnecessarily again." She kissed Seven roughly pushing her onto her back and effectively pinning her beneath her artificial body. Seven startled to struggle."Resistance…is futile." Seven complied finding herself hoping she would be treated gently since her body was still terribly sore. "Respond Seven." It was more of a moan than an order but Seven did as she demanded kissing the Queen back a little hesitantly. "You will never leave me, Seven." The words were whispered against her lips but Seven heard them perfectly. She fought tears as she realized how true those words were, she'd never escape…at least not with Desyn and she'd never leave her behind. "Even in death Seven. I will always find you if I have to destroy space and time itself." Seven felt her smile, "So don't even bother running."
