Nova had tried to sleep on her ship but had spent most of the time tossing and turning on the small makeshift bed. It wasnt tired; she was. She was exhausted. But it just wasnCome to our bedroom.t ready for physical intimacy with it. Besides, she was still mad about her changing. Kerrigan would have to make Nova forgive her first before she even thought about physical things.

Nova stood and walked to a small mirror on the wall of the ship and checked her appearance. She brushed a few stray hairs back into alignment and quickly headed to their bedroom.

When Nova arrived at their bedroom she found it empty. She walked in and then she felt Kerrigan behind her. She turned to see her lover walk in swinging her hips. Nova noticed the way Kerrigan walked was more confident now as the Queen of Blades. Nova remarked, trying to cover her apprehension with humour.

KerriganOne of the primal Zerg pack leaders came aboard my ?I didn she stepped forward towards Nova with a smile on her lips.

Nova took a breath and felt her body tense as the alien lifeform stepped towards her.

"You're scared," Kerrigan observed but wasn't hurt as she realised it was of her body and not her.

"I'm..." Nova frowned. "I don't know how this is supposed to work."

Kerrigan smiled. "It works exactly how it used to," she imagined Nova's hands on her body and she felt herself moisten. She stepped forward towards her human lover and placed her long taloned hands on Nova's waist.

Nova asked quickly as she moved her body back slightly, letting her hands fall on Kerrigan's upper arms but ready to use the intimate position to push Kerrigan away.

Kerrigan looked hurt but not shocked by her outburst.

Nova paused. she said honestly. she said softly.

Kerrigan smiled. she said softly. "I've been through this change before. But this is new for you." Kerrigan looked into Nova's eyes for a moment before smiling. "I'm used to being in control," she smirked. "But for you, I don't mind surrendering some of that control." She let her hands fall and she stepped back from Nova.

Nova wanted to pull her close but didn't and let Kerrigan slip from her arms.

Kerrigan walked over to their mess of blankets on the floor and laid herself down. Her wings fell elgently behind her and spanned across the floor. She placed her hands gently across her stomach.

Nova sensed that Kerrigan wanted her to join her; but only if she wanted to. She knew Kerrigan didn't expect anything from her if she chose to lay beside her. So, Nova slowly walked and knelt to the blankets beside Kerrigan before laying down beside her on her side to face Kerrigan.

Kerrigan turned her head to face Nova and smiled. She raised her hand hoping that Nova would take it.

Nova gladly did. She curled her fingers into Kerrigan's and sighed softly but happily. The skin was still so strange to her but the shape, the feeling of holding her lover's hand, was all there. She could feel the long talons resting against her skin but they didn't bother her. Nova stared at their hands interlocked, her own pale skin stood vibrantly out from Kerrigan's dark green and reddy brown mottled skin.

"It's just skin," Kerrigan said softly. "These are still the same hands that touched you."

Nova turned her eyes towards Kerrigan. "I know," she smiled. She looked back at her and Kerrigan's entwined hand and loosened her grip. She allowed her fingers to move over Kerrigan's and caress them with her finger tips. She closed her eyes for a moment to enjoy the sensation before opening them again. She trained her finger tips down Kerrigan's arm, avoiding the sharp spikes on her forearm and continued up to her bicep.

Kerrigan closed her eyes and experienced the sensation of her lover's touch, unwilling to move for fear of scaring the blonde away.

Nova felt Kerrigan's lean arms for a moment before allowing her hand to cross over to Kerrigan's shoulder. She traced Kerrigan's now hardened and more pronouced collar bone with her finger tips and lingered for a moment before deciding her next move.

Kerrigan felt her stop and opened her eyes to look at the blonde. She looked down at her breasts, falling with each breath she took and hoped her eyes would guide Nova to them.

Nova caught Kerrigan's eyes and let them lead her own eyes there too. She stared intently at Kerrigan's deep purple breasts and tried to push out all expectations of how they would feel. She had thought they looked hard and cold, yet so inviting and hypnotic. She forced away the memory of Kerrigan's once warm, fleshy and pink breasts, decorated with small pink nipples. Now the nipple was gone and served no function to a Zerg body. She wondered for a moment if Kerrigan was still able to receive pleasure from her breasts being touched now, but again pushed that thought away and lowered her hand. Her finger tips made contact with one of the purple orbs and instinctively cupped it.

Kerrigan let a small groan leave her lips and closed her eyes as her alien breast was touched. It tingled at Nova's touched and begged to be caressed.

The breast was soft in Nova's hand and she found her fingers gently squeezing it. She smiled to herself as she realised it was as malleable as before. As Nova reaquainted herself with the feel of Kerrigan's breasts she began to feel more at ease. "I didn't expect them to be so soft," she said gently.

Kerrigan opened her eyes and smiled. "My carapace extends beneath them," she said, her mind slightly hazy from the Zerg equivalent of endorphins that had been released in her body. "Although biologically they serve no purpose anymore, I still have nerve endings there. Something left over from my human physiology."

"For a warrior, wouldn't that be bad? You'd be vulnerable," Nova expressed concern in her voice.

Kerrigan let a small giggle pass her lips. "They never get that close," she said confidently. "Besides, they also distract my enemies," she cupped her free breast with her hand. "That split second is all I need," she smiled and began to mimic Nova's stokes.

"A weapon or not," Nova mused, "I'm glad they are here." She continued to play with Kerrigan's breast, encouraged by the joyous look on Kerrigan's face.

Kerrigan closed her eyes and groaned again. She could feel her core ache and she wished Nova would delve down further.

Nova caught her thoughts and trailed her hand down Kerrigan's hardened stomach. She felt the hard yet warm skin breath beneath her and as she arrived at the place where her belly button had been, she realised it had gone. She suddenly pulled her hand away as she realised she was going into unknown territory. Her hand had explored much of Kerrigan's new body, but what lay further on now started to scare her.

Kerrigan sensed Nova's reluctance to continue and quickly opened her eyes to meet Nova's. She shot her a warm smile in hopes of alleviating her fear.

Nova returned the smile and let her hand rest on Kerrigan's hip.

"You're tired," Kerrigan surveyed. She sensed it and, although she knew the blonde would have more than enough stamina for love making through the night, she also knew that Nova was uncomfortable with her change. She didn't want to push her and risk pushing her away. "Rest here with me," Kerrigan begged as she let her hand rest on Nova's upper arm.

Nova was relieved and disappointed at the same time. She had come further than she thought in terms of accepting Kerrigan's body, but there was still further to go. She welcomed the rest and allowed her head of rest on Kerrigan's chest. She closed her eyes and in that moment she was no longer laying on the Queen of Blades' rigid body but that of the woman she loved.

Kerrigan held the human against her and felt her effortlessly drift off to sleep. Kerrigan was as content as she knew she had been since her change. She had lost much along the way, and even now the grief she felt at the loss of Jim still tore into her heart. But she would have her revenge and nothing could stop her. Now, for the first time ever in her life, she realised she did indeed have it all. Love. Power. Strength. The ability to kill Mengsk.

And she would be damned if anyone tried to take that away from her.
