Jean woke up to see Jasmine's nude back, and she crawled closer to her, holding her, purring softly into her ear, "Wake up, my desert flower...", kissing her neck, hearing her moan in pleasure in her sleep, and Jean kept kissing, moving Jasmine's hair, caressing her skin before pausing in confusion as her hand reached the back portion of Jasmine's right shoulder, feeling no sensation of the scar at all.
Jean blinked to shake some sleep off her eyes before realizing that under her hand, it's not there, and she looked over, kissing and caressing, seeing nothing on the front portion of the shoulder either, and exhaled in shock before she perhaps is dreaming, and pinched herself, and ouch, yep, she isn't dreaming...
She looked back to Gwen who was waking Peter up by dry-grinding-humping on his ass, and called out, "Sorry to interrupt, but could you two do a check for me?".
"What?", Peter asked as he was still half asleep. "Come on, Peter... need you fully awake for this... sorry for ruining any sort of dream you might have been having.", Gwen apologized.
Peter chuckled, "How could I be upset when I was enjoying your dry humping, Gwen?", before he and Gwen crawled over to Jean's side, and Jean asked, "What do you see?".
Gwen glanced at Jasmine's shoulders, "Nothing, just Jasmine.", before blinking and looking again, and yeah, there's no sign of the back portion of the gunshot wound scar, "Shouldn't there be a scar on both sides of her shoulder?", knowing that it was a through and through.
"It's gone...", Peter whispered. "I... uh...". He didn't know what to think at the moment as any sort of explanation just wasn't popping into his head. "Maybe her shifting healed it, perhaps? Maybe we just haven't noticed?", Jean suggested.
Jasmine felt a nervous thrill in the back of her mind, and she recognized it as Oynx's anxiety sign, and she groaned softly, "I was starting to enjoy that, Jean...", rolling over to sleepily open her eyes, seeing Jean, Peter, and Gwen looking at her, and she blinked, "What?".
Gwen replied, "Your shoulder scar's gone, Jazz...", ripping off the band-aid at once, and Jasmine blinked before looking down and smiling warmly, "Nothing but bare skin...Looks like they had done a splendid job.".
Jasmine felt a proud and happy purr in the back of her mind, recognizing it as Onyx's overjoyed sign, and Peter blinked, "'They'? Did you go to a doctor or something?".
"Not exactly...You three must promise that you will not panic, okay?", Jasmine asked, knowing that Onyx is very indifferent to nudity since they are still learning about humans and emotions.
Hearing the seriousness of the situation in Jasmine's voice, the trio agreed, nodding, and Jasmine exhaled gently, "It's alright, Onyx. Come out, it's safe.", reassuring them, realizing that they are like how Jasmine was, back in the mindscape when her lovers saved her from Jafar.
"Jasmine, who's Onyx?", Jean asked as they quickly got their answer when Onyx came out from where they were hiding to reveal themselves to the others.
"So... you remember that disaster at Oscorp?", Jasmine asked the others as it quickly clicked for them; the connection between this being and the disaster at Oscorp.
Onyx tapped its fingers nervously, shrinking down to appear as a non-threatening sight, and gave a shy nod, "Hello...We are Onyx...Jasmine is our hero...We are returning a favor to help Jasmine...".
Peter exhaled, "Whoa...", realizing that Onyx is looking scared and nervous, staying small, being polite, and then gave a small smile, "You fixed Jasmine's shoulder scar, didn't you?".
Onyx nodded, "Yes, sir...We are wanting to help our hero.", and Gwen blinked, "You speak a bit differently...".
Jasmine smiled softly, "Onyx is non-binary. They are an alien from outer space, tortured unfortunately as an experiment in Oscorp.", with a scowl.
"Join the club then, I guess...", Gwen admitted. "Dad always told me that very early on raising me that he was worried someone would track me down; that they would've found the wreckage of my craft that transported me to Earth and would find me and then start experimenting on me... find out how I tick..".
Onyx gave a low growl, "It wasn't good at all. We suffered two summers after crashing on a meteorite we were traveling on. Gravity pulled us in.", and Jean widened her eyes in horror, "Jesus...", realizing that was more than Jasmine's year of torture and punishment by Jafar's hands.
Peter shook his head, "That's not right...You may be an alien, Onyx, right, but you have feelings.", and Onyx nodded, "Feelings, yes, but learning of good human emotions...We wanted revenge on Oscorp for we knew fear, pain, anger, and being alone...If not for Jasmine, we would have never known that not all humans are monsters...".
Peter took a deep breath. He was fairly close to the incident for a while. His mind drifted for a moment, wondering what might have happened if he had made contact with the alien. Would things have played the same or would Onyx's darker emotions continue to fester and grow?
Peter narrowed his eyes, realizing if it was Gwen in the picture, yeah, he would have done anything including stopping that man from torturing her, and from what Jasmine said, the man was enjoying it, and Peter hated people like that since Jafar enjoyed punishing and tormenting Jasmine...
Peter then nodded. He would have saved the alien too in the same way...After all, it was the way he was raised. Jean then asked, "So, you hitchhiked on Jasmine's person, and you realized that you were safe?".
Onyx nodded, "We were in Jasmine's mindscape, watching memories...learning that revenge is bad...We species do favors for people who help us...You can imagine that we didn't do favors for Oscorp...We caused explosion...We feel bad for innocent people above and under bad scientist lab...We were on revenge against those scientists...not other people of Oscorp...Didn't expect that the explosion would be huge or making scary fire...", with a shudder.
Jasmine shushed Onyx gently, patting its shoulder, "How were you supposed to know? It wasn't your fault, Onyx...You were just wanting to escape, to be free from them...".
"That's fine.", Jean said. "I guess it does make things a little less awkward with you out of the way during these moments.", she rubbed her arm.
Peter asked curiously, "And what do you eat, usually?", and Onyx replied, "Space bugs and such on meteorites, when on planets, we eat animals. When no animals, we eat energy. Right now, we eat rats, fish, and raw meat from freezer, and we eat like snakes. After having food in us, we focus on eating energy in scar tissue and damage. Gunshot scar was smallest yet very puzzling as it was two ways but was quite educational for us since we can move on to deep scar on side from...r-rhino suit?", looking at Jasmine in a bit of confusion.
Jasmine chuckled warmly, "Two men were controlling the rhino suit. I can see why you're confused...your species must have seen natural rhinos and shared the info around.".
"At least those guys are rotting wherever they were sent with how much sentences they got, I'm sure.", Peter crossed his arms. "Still, it really did suck that Jasmine had to lose another life to them...".
Onyx nodded, "Onyx was surprised that Jasmine got bundle of lives, but after seeing what curse did, it's like changing into good curse because of most Jafar's dark magic dead by then. We relieved that Jasmine is gifted with extra lives because being a magical cat, thanks to your love for her.".
Gwen grinned, "Thanks, Onyx, that explains a lot, and that makes me feel better...I actually thought it was Jafar's dark magic at first but hearing that the curse is becoming good because of us, that's a relief...", and the others nodded in agreement.
Jean exhaled, "So, you're going to fix the side scar next, and then, does that mean you're going for Jafar's damage in the last yet worst scar?". Onyx narrowed its eyes, "Jafar is monster. We want Jasmine to be happy, and we sad, seeing that Jasmine gets sad from remembering when talking about loss...We species never mate, but we believe in creation of life, and seeing creation of life ripped away, it boils our blood. We want to fix scar and eat away Jafar's last of dark magic so she can be changing at will.".
"That'll certainly help in a few cases...", Peter said. "Not to mention getting rid of the connection with that monster once and for all.", Jean added. "Something I think we'd all love to see.".
Onyx grinned, "We agree.", before blinking, "Is today school day?", and Gwen smiled, "Nope.", looking at Jasmine coyly.
Getting the hint, Onyx nodded, "We go hunt for rats and raw meat. We be back soon for patrol, and while on patrol, we start on side scar.", smiling at Jasmine before leaving the room, changing shape into a big black housecat.
"That's very impressive to change shape...Onyx seems like a good friend, sounding mature like perhaps late 20s or early 30s.", Jean commented, and Jasmine smiled, "We talked a lot over the past few days. Onyx is feeling safer than ever before, and you know how freedom is with me, and Onyx deserves to be free out here from Oscorp.".
Peter smiled, "Well, if Onyx's a friend of yours, they are a friend of ours then, right, girls?", and Gwen nodded, "Yep. And now, we have some time to ourselves...", grinning coyly as she playfully grabbed Jasmine, and she shrieked in delight as she was placed in the middle of the bed, and her lovers going to ravish her, testing out the new bare skin with kisses and caressing.
Indeed, the whole family gladly got to know Onyx over the next few weeks while Onyx carefully and slowly fixed the deep scar in the side, and with more people than just Jasmine, Onyx learned faster in knowing human emotions, feelings, and understanding them better than ever.
That was when Onyx is leaning closer and closer to finding their own identity, and Onyx got slowly used to thinking like a woman, liking the sound of being feminine yet tomboyish in a way that Onyx is actually starting to have more ideas than ever.
They, no, she, is thinking about tracking down the dark magic link to Jafar, and being an alien, there's no laws to stop her from killing Jafar, yet she needs to focus on fixing the damage inside the scar, to eat the energy of the dark magic, and then she realizes that she doesn't have to do it alone...
Onyx is keeping the secret of going to fix Jasmine's ovaries, no matter what, but she can still tell them of going to find Jafar, starting with their permission to do so, yet she was hesitant to ask them in front of George who's visiting tonight, though she was curious to meet him since he practically raised an alien girl in Gwen.
Still, a girl that looked and apparently was all but human internally was much different compared to what she was; that was for sure, and it might be too much of a shock for him to meet the source of the Oscorp accident; at least without giving George a heads up about the torture she had gone through.
"Hey! I'm here!", George called out as he headed inside, alerting the others. "You all aren't out right now, are you?".
Gwen smiled widely, "Dad! You're not late for dinner yet.", hugging her father, and Jean smiled at him, "It's most of us. Peter's finishing up patrol, through you don't have to bring your famous triple candy brownies.", glancing at the container in George's hands.
"Nonsense, Jean. You are still growing teenagers, and besides, what is a dinner without dessert?", George chuckled, and Jasmine giggled, "He has a point, Jean. The lasagna with garlic sticks would not be enough without dessert.".
George smiled, "Lasagna, eh? Sounds great.", as Jasmine felt a curious purr in the back of her head, and Jean picked it up, sharing a glance with each other, and Gwen noticed before asking George, "How was your shift, Dad?", as she carried the container of brownies to the counter next to the refrigerator.
Draping his jacket over the chair, George hummed, "Not too bad. A couple of graffiti guys, one stolen car, and some boring talk with Mr. Osborn.", and Peter's voice asked, "You don't mean the Norman Osborn, do you?", and they looked up to see Peter using one of the secret entrances, crawling down and swinging down, taking off his mask with a surprised look as Jasmine felt Onyx's frightened whimper.
Onyx went into frightened mode every time when Norman Osborn comes on TV, claiming that there was something very wrong with him besides ordering his scientists to go all the experimenting they want on her.
Then again, it might have something to do with the fact that he's the one running Oscorp and in a way, was partially the reason she had been captured and tormented by the scientists that worked for the company.
"Yeah, mostly just one of those follow ups considering the accident and such... hurt him pretty bad, financially wise. I'm not one to truly focus on the markets, got a fiduciary guy for that with what few stocks I have...", George chuckled. "But I wouldn't be too surprised if someone tries to buy him out with how they've been hemorrhaging money lately. It's either a miracle if he bounces back, or going completely under, or someone else bailing him out.".
"And obviously, the latter two are both ones he wouldn't want.", Jean said. "Never gotten really close to the man, but he certainly comes off as quite a power grabber.".
George snorted, "That makes sense, and besides, it'd be a long while before the building itself is either reconstructed or if he goes under, he'd have to sell it to a rival or something. Osborn is being picky, I'd say, but he is sticking to his opinion that he'll survive, though he is still holding a grudge against whoever did it to him...even after the investigation cleared up.".
Gwen blinked in confusion, "I thought the investigation was pretty accurate that it was an accident that something got too close to some flammable stuff...since the few survivors on that floor was too far away to see what happened, considering that it was a huge explosion.".
"Well, if anyone knew that it was Onyx... they're gone for sure...", Jean closed her eyes as the others nodded. "And if anyone still knows, they certainly don't know that she escaped and is... a part of me.", Jasmine said as she tried to help relax Onyx.
George blinked in confusion, "Uh, who is Onyx? Did I miss something?", looking at them as Onyx purred quietly, feeling Jasmine's mental hug.
Jean mentally hit herself for letting that slip; not even realizing that she did that until George said. Jasmine did as well. It may have been just due to the fact that George knew pretty much everything that they were looser lipped about the situation than say, someone else.
Peter winced as Gwen sighed, "Dad, you better sit down. This is kind of a long story, and very hard for a friend of ours, but for her, we'll explain.", and George heard the serious tone in her voice, seeing that the group is having something very important to say, so he sat down in his usual chair.
"Let me just say this... before we start... this friend of yours... was responsible for the Oscorp disaster?", George asked. Gwen nodded, "Yes, but for a very good reason, not a bad reason, I promise.", and George nodded softly with a sigh, "Okay, have at it.".
Peter smiled sadly, "It all started with a meteorite that fell through the sky, pulled by gravity two years ago. It had things you'd expect, some metals of Earth, some new metals from across the universe, insects, bacteria, and the fact that it caused a dent in the earth when it crashed, but there was something else, someone who came here only to explore, to live, to learn, a true-born alien.".
"Am I to guess that it was this Onyx?", George interjected as the others nodded. "Yes... but unlike Gwen, this alien wasn't remotely human, but rather an almost shapeless black blob, able to interact and merge with what it wanted.", Jasmine explained as she sighed. "And unfortunately... it seems that Oscorp found them first.".
Jean frowned, "Onyx was captured, forced to be seen like an animal in captivity, but even less than that as Osborn ordered his scientists to experiment on them any way they could, not caring about the feelings of the alien. Unfortunately, that meant torturing, starving, and more, ensuring that the alien was kept very securely...Onyx experienced pain, anger, fear, and the instinct of flight or fight, and as more time passed, revenge was on Onyx's mind, next to wanting to be free and to escape somehow, to be safe from Oscorp.".
"Hence the accident?", George asked. "This Onyx was trying to free themselves and get away, that's what happened, right?".
Gwen nodded, "Yes. Onyx felt very bad for the innocent people under and above the lab floor as she didn't expect the explosion to be huge or produce a vicious fire which she is naturally afraid of. She was only focusing on the scientists who treated her horribly.".
