Nova was feeling wonderful.

She was sleeping. Not a drugged sleep, but a natural, relaxed, fucking wonderful sleep.

In which she could hear a heart beating. Not her own, but another's.

Which was heavenly.

After hearing nothing but her own for so long, and wanting to make contact so bad.

Any contact.

What a wonderful dream.

She wanted to get closer, she was moving, and she was getting closer. Then she hit something.

A wall.

A glass wall to be correct, judging by the clang her ski mask made on the surface. She was very much awake now, but she didn't open her eyes. Keeping her breathing normal she made herself more aware. She could hear two heartbeats, one very close and the other further away. Slowly, she moved her head, pressing her ear to the glass. She could now make out a raspy breathing coming from the other cell. Without telling her body to, she soon found herself pressed tightly to the glass wall, and she could feel warmth.

She had to stop herself from moaning, even through thick glass the body heat of whoever or whatever it was, was divine. And it/who was leaning against the glass as well. It had to be for her to feel the warmth.

She steeled herself mentally for any possibility before opening her eyes. The only thing she was certain of was that it wasn't a black thing, too quiet.

Slowly, she opened her eyes.

All she could see for several minutes was gold eyes looking down at her. Before she took in the rest of it. High forehead spiked around the edge of a massive skull. Thick black drainpipe looking hair, strange mouth, huge body, ten-foot, most likely a biped by the way it was sitting, leaning against the glass.

Was all she could see with her first inspection, but as it was sitting very still for her she could take in more.

Its hair was adorned with bands of silver, gold and bronze. Its skin was light brown with hints of green, speckled with black, and darker in certain parts of its body.

Reptilian looking skin.

Huge chest and shoulders, with very well developed muscle.

Huge muscles.

Most likely a male.

A symbol of some sort was carved into its head (scarred over) but, it was covered in scars actually, all in random places. Most likely accidents.

She still had more than it.

Its hands and feet were tipped in claws. Five fingers, four toes and dew claw (well, it looked like a dew claw).

Naked except for a loincloth, Definitely a male, she could tell buy the bulge under it.

"Very male."

Shocked she realized she was staring and quickly diverted her eyes back to his face. The four talon-things it had for a mouth started to open, revealing an inner mouth.

"Oh, they're mandibles," she realized.

Not fazed by the revelation, she went back to its eyes. The same size as hers they looked back, not blinking. They were intelligent eyes, human eyes that she could connect with. Putting all the information together in her mind she made a not so informed guess. "Alien, definitely an alien."

Its mandibles suddenly stretched wide, flashing its pink inner cheeks, its inner mouth opened displaying a set of sharp teeth. It roared, loud and long right at her.

Nova didn't even blink, it took energy to blink and she needed that to stay alive. She didn't even mind that it was roaring at her, it was another sound that she didn't make, making it wonderful. There was no way she was moving away from the warmth that it provided, if that was what it wanted. So she just locked eyes with it, keeping contact throughout the aggressive display.

Soon it stopped, closing its mouth it seemed to frown at her. Maybe she confused it. Blinking once, it, no he made a huffing sound. Inclined it head towards her, nodding, then swiftly turned its head away and leaned its head back. Pressing its strange hair against the divider. Dismissing her she assumed.

Whatever it was, it seemed more human than the previous creature that was housed in the cell. This one had eyes to start with, and no tail. It also was not trying to break down the glass to eat her, so that was a plus. Comforted beyond measure by its body heat she closed her eyes again, drifting off to sleep, and for some strange reason she couldn't help but feel that she had passed a test.

What test?

She wasn't quite sure yet.
