Two days.

Nova had spent two days with Ti'kon and K'on while the asstards fixed the wall.

Well, it felt like two days. She couldn't be sure, her sense of time was warped after being here so long.

Two absolutely freakin wonderful days, that she had spent the majority of her time cuddled up to several pounds of male Extra Terrestrial.

'My big Extra Terrestrial,' Nova thought possessively.

She realized that she may be crossing several lines of intergalactic Taboo when it came to the Big guy. But she just couldn't bring herself to care.

When they were together, he didn't seem to mind terribly that a part of her body had to always be touching a part of his.

He had been stiff at first when she would spontaneously grab his hand, touch his chest, or lean against his side. Hell, she had even grabbed one of his clawed feet so she could inspect it once, much to the amusement of the smaller alien K'on.

K'on was another kettle of fish altogether for Nova.

He had growled his name to her after Ti'kon had painfully jabbed him in the ribs for ignoring her question. He would often glare at her for crawling into Ti'kon's lap and making herself at home there. She knew he didn't approve of her fondness for Big guy, but she really couldn't give a shit.

K'on hadn't been in solitary confinement for years.

There was no way he could understand the comfort another's presence gave her after so long. How breathing in Ti'kon's scent and listening to his heart beating made her feel awake and alive again. . .stronger.

The two days of cuddling had done wonders for her torn body, well, that and the lack of surgery.

She had a feeling the asstards didn't want to aggravate the Yautja by taking her to operate when they were both in the same cell, (too much muscle then was safe to upset). The message 'We are very disappointed with your actions Nova' had played while she had been in the cell with the aliens, 'Do not take this as positive reinforcement'. The voice never said specifically what she wasn't supposed to think of as positive reinforcement. The fact that there was no surgery, or that they let her spend time with Big guy.

Nova refused to admit that she had gotten teary when she woke up this morning to find they were separated again. And even though she had hidden her face until the annoying leaking from her eyes had stopped, the purring that came from the next cell let her know her struggle was noticed by the Big guy.

Nova paced in her cell, trying to keep her agitation at being denied the warmth that Ti'kon provided at bay. Trying not to miss the feel of his strange skin, or the resonating sound of his heart beating.

She occasionally glanced over to check on him as he leant against the divider. Ti'kon looked as arrogant as any human male would when he noticed her longing stares. Puffing out his chest to make it even more massive.

She grinned at him, trying to ignore the twinge of the something she felt at his antics.

She shouldn't feel anything for him, he wasn't human.

But, it wasn't Yautja's experimenting on her, killing her piece by piece.

It wasn't a human that had held her tight and purred to her when she had woken up the other night from a nightmare.

'I may be having a slight crush here,' she thought ruefully, sweeping her eyes over his powerful body. 'The lot of good it'll do me.'

She may be slightly insane to have such feelings for an alien, but she was not blind. Nova had been attractive, once upon a time, before she had been kidnaped, but now...

She was a mess.

She looked like Sally from A Nightmare Before Christmas, if Sally had black hair and a shit load more scars. The last time she had been brave enough to take stock of her physical appearance, she remember thinking 'Wow, I'm a roadmap' as she gazed down at the layers of scar tissue. 'I'll be beating the men off with sticks. Guys dig the Frankenstein's monster look'.

Sighing, she pulled herself from the suicidal thoughts, feeling Ti'kon's gaze snap to her because she had made a sound.

He was attentive like that.

She hoped the asstards didn't get any sick ideas over her and Big guys interactions. She wouldn't put it past their twisted minds to force them into something. She had a sinking feeling that the only reason they hadn't killed him like they originally planned, was so they could observe Ti'kon's interactions with her.

Looking at him again, Nova felt her breath catch, Ti'kon was huge, which probably meant other things were equally as huge. If the asstards did force them into something, she had no doubt in her mind that it would be like having sex with a nuclear missile.

She would have to strap herself in and prepare for a massive fallout, and hope that she didn't catch fire or explode in the process.

"We know you can understand us, Predators. We expect all questions to be answered."

Rage hit Nova hard as the electronic voice played, threatening her Yautja. It was one thing for the asstards to give her threats, she was used to it, but she wasn't going to let them hurt the Big guy. She wasn't going to stand by and let them carve into his wonderfully thick hide like they had done to her flesh. It wasn't their place, fair enough they thought she was freakish enough to capture and experiment on, she was part of their race. But to capture a species that you don't know anything about was just asking for trouble. For all the asstards know, Ti'kon could be the King of the Yautja and they had just declared war on a race that looked like they could crush your skull in by applying minimal pressure.

Ti'kon could crush all the asstards like insects if he was free.

And the two days of relaxing had strengthened Nova's body enough to do what she had been planning to put into action before Ti'kon had shown up. Nova being able to pace in her cell, upright, and standing, was a testament to her new found health.

She was well rested enough to hold her breath.

Like she had been practising.

To make a bid for freedom.
