She has a feeling that if it was up to Peter or the others, they would wish for her to be healed thoroughly, to be able to have children, maybe wish for New York City to be self-sufficient without needing to do jobs to live, and probably wish for Agrabah to be brought here, adapted to 21st century technology or such, though she would want her people to not freak out in the first place...
She took a deep breath; wishful thinking but practically impossible for that to happen. She'd have to settle for the next best thing which was her current life and she very much still greatly enjoyed of how it turned.
As she twirled her hot chocolate, going in the office, she felt a nudging sensation, and after putting her hot chocolate down, she looked back, thinking one of her lovers forgot something before blinking in confusion as she looked out the door, shrugging and turning around to see a jet-black little kitten blinking at her, sitting on the office chair.
She blinked before smiling, "How did you get in here, little one? You must have snuck in when the others had opened the door for the car to go out...Are you hungry, little one? You look like you got yourself in a mud puddle...", and the little kitten purred high-pitched before changing shape into the black ooze, and Jasmine gasped, "You were the alien experiment I saved!".
The black ooze seemed to nod, purring before changing shape once more, growing bigger and bigger into a black humanoid form with a face that's having stormy dark blue eyes, a slim nose, and a toothy smile yet it wasn't a scary smile, just a bit of a underbite like many cats and dogs she has seen around.
"We...sorry...for hitchhiking, but...we scared...of Os-Oscorp.", the humanoid alien haltingly apologized. Jasmine looked at it for a moment before it clicked, "Wait... have you... did you hide on me until I got back here?".
"More than that.", the alien admitted as they knew that the truth needed to come out now rather than dancing around it.
Jasmine blinked before exhaling, "You saw my memories, didn't you?", and the alien nodded, "We...hide for many days...we learn human emotions...more than we imagined...O-Oscorp gave us...fear, anger, trauma, and revenge...We caused...explosion...".
"Oh...How long have you been in there?", Jasmine asked, a bit upset that the alien didn't ask for permission, but if this alien said that they are learning to be human, it's something good, right?
The alien shuddered, "Long time...Maybe two summers now...", and Jasmine's eyes widened in horror, "That's awful...How did you get here, I mean, from outer space, the stars?".
"Black rock on fire. We hide from fire inside black rock.", the alien replied, and Jasmine blinked in confusion before realizing, "Oh! You came in on a meteorite!", vaguely remembering that there was a discovery of a big meteorite that landed just outside of the city, in the mountains two years ago.
The alien nodded, "Yes...We travel on m-meteorites when we species are mature. Word we see in memory of yours is non-binary...No gender, no names...", and Jasmine nodded, "Ah, I see...Well, you don't have to be scared here. This is my home...Wait, are you going to hurt my family?", her eyes taking on a protective glint.
"No...we decide to protect you like family of lovers do...You save us. We save you in return. Species tradition to do favors...but we species can be manipulated...If you hadn't saved us, we be really mad and scared and bad from being taught by mean scientists.", the alien said.
"I suppose that makes sense... if all you knew was anger, hatred, cruelty and pain...", Jasmine bit her lip, still worried that things might go wrong for the time being at least. After all, she still didn't have much reason to trust this creature; but... it was coming forward to explain things. If it was malicious, she doubted that this conversation would even be happening.
The alien nodded, "We species, like you see, change form when we feel safe, copying things and people, though not really exactly copying as we species only have three colors of maturity. Dark gray for youngsters, black for adults, and silver-black for elders. We eat things to live, mainly space bugs and such on meteorites, on planets, mainly animals...We act like snakes when eating...But when there not animals or bugs, we eat energy. And we taste Jafar's dark magic. It's like nasty energy, but this favor we do.".
"What do you mean?", Jasmine blinked, and the alien replied, "We help eat Jafar's last dark magic in scar, and maybe you don't have to be controlled by time limit of changing, but be able to do it at will, and the scar could get small or all gone.".
Jasmine was quite stunned to hear this information. Whatever hold Jafar had left on her... this creature might be able to fix it. Obviously, it didn't sound the most confident or sure in itself, but it was certainly an idea.
Jasmine exhaled, "C-could you try my other scars? I mean, I don't want the last of Jafar's dark magic hurting you even if you said that magic is practically energy food to you.".
"Like...what did your Peter say in a memory?...a test run?", the alien asked both in confusion and curiosity. "I suppose so... just to at least see if you can do it...", Jasmine suggested as the symbiote thought about it for a moment before it agreed, "Very well... we certainly can try.".
Jasmine smiled warmly, "Brilliant...And I can't keep calling 'you' and all...You need a name...", and the alien blinked in surprise, "You...you could give us a name?".
"Of course...After all, you're offering so much to help me...Hmm, non-binary...you look like a woman due to your body shape, yet you are not quite female...And your maturity color is black...How about Onyx?", Jasmine suggested.
The creature thought about it for a moment before nodding, "We think it works... after all we never really had a name before.".
Jasmine smiled, "Then I'm honored to have done it for you, Onyx. Now, since my lovers won't be back for most of the day, can you manage to have some food from the refrigerator, or perhaps the freezer as it has raw meat?".
Onyx gave a hum, "We would like some raw meat, we need strength to focus on the normal scars.", and Jasmine smiled, "Alright, then. Umm, can you walk without needing me?".
"Yes, we can.", Onyx replied, getting up from the office chair, and followed Jasmine who then smiled at Onyx, "I know you know me, but it's tradition. My name is Jasmine, and it's nice to meet you.".
"We are honored to meet you, Jasmine.", Onyx smiled brightly, and they got to the kitchen, where Jasmine looked in the freezer before taking out a large steak, cutting out the plastic, and Onyx then grabbed it by the bone, taking it out of the plastic, and swallowed it all.
Jasmine widened her eyes in shock, "By Allah, you weren't kidding about eating like a snake...Does that hurt?", and Oynx shook its head, "No, we digest the bones, eating the marrow from inside the bones, and meat is delicious...This would last all day.".
"You sure? I mean, you were in me for at least a couple of weeks.", Jasmine replied in concern, and Onyx replied, "Slunk out to eat rats and fish when your Jean was out of range, with your Gwen at her home at night, and your Peter out on night patrol.".
Jasmine blinked, "Oh, that's good...At least we wouldn't have to worry about rats gnawing on wires and stuff around here. Well, since this is going to take me a lot to think about, why won't you come along and enjoy the sun, since I'll have to be Shadow Claw in a while soon?".
Oynx nodded, "We can do that. We stay out of your way, but stay on your back, okay?", and Jasmine smiled, "Great. And you can get a start on either of my normal scars if you're ready then.".
"Would you be upset with us if we are a perfectionist? We want to be through with fixing scars. Be taking time more than a day...", Onyx asked.
Jasmine shook her head, "Hey, listen, if it took you weeks or even months to fix the scars and everything, that would be just as fine.". She chuckled, "I'm not exactly in any sort of rush to lose them, that's for sure. Not having to compete in a swimsuit contest or something like that.".
Onyx nodded, through it was confused about the contest thing, and then asked, "May I go in?", and Jasmine smiled, "Yeah, have at it.". Onyx melted into its ooze form, climbing into Jasmine's leg, and melted into it, and Jasmine, like before at Oscorp, felt no pain, nothing from it, and smiled, then headed back to the office to drink and finish her hot chocolate.
She then used the bathroom, and then headed out to stroll into the sun, hearing a purring sound, and chuckled as she kept strolling on, as Onyx enjoyed the ride, the warmth of the sun as it started on the smallest yet puzzling scar, which was the mugging shot, seeing that the vets did a fine job, but not quite well, and even if the damage inside is all healed with new tissue, it's still not right or fully healthy since it was a through and through.
Indeed, as Jasmine soon changed into Shadow Claw, and went on her patrol via buildings and trains, Onyx found the blur of energy twisted up inside the wound damage, and carefully worked on it, eating the energy a bit at a time while fixing.
And at the end of patrolling, the scar is a couple of centimeters smaller than before, and the damage inside is 1/4 healed, and Onyx emerged out in the bathroom after Jasmine's shower, looking at the mirror's reflection.
"Wow, that looks better than before, and I think it's smaller too...And I can move a bit easier too...Since the muscle was usually a bit stiff in the cold mornings and I ask for massages there to make it feel better...", Jasmine thought out loud as she moved her arm in different motions.
"It's progress... of course, we need more time...", Onyx explained as Jasmine smiled. "I know. It's fine, feel free to take your time... but... I think we certainly need to have a quick discussion in terms of... well, you being around.", Jasmine said as the symbiote slightly became worried that Jasmine might send them away.
"It's nothing bad, I promise, but... I really think I should get to know you a bit better if you're planning on being a part of me; which I assume is what you're doing?", Jasmine then asked.
Onyx exhaled, "We promise we ain't lusting or anything like that bastard of that sorcerer...We saw everything, and we don't want to be in the way when you want privacy with your lovers...We...we species don't mate like you do...And we...we are proud to be alien, but we don't want to be caught by mean people again...being called freak or experiment...If we had met Genie before coming here to this world, we would probably wish for peace and quiet, lots of animals to eat on, and wish him to be free too...But now...after knowing you, we would have wished for Genie to change us to human or at least a bird where we can fly free without care, wished for our species to learn about human emotions, and still wish him free on the third wish.".
Jasmine chuckled. "Seems like everyone mostly agrees on the third one... can't blame anyone... if anyone knew Genie like I did... he was the one bright spot in the darkness... and it was just as painful to see how powerless he was with Jafar.", Jasmine sighed.
"We know the pain... it was similar to when we were suffering at the hands of Oscorp.", Onyx said. "Well, don't you worry about Oscorp. As far as they know, you're nothing but vaporized atoms or something, they'll never come looking for you.", Jasmine smiled.
Onyx blinked, "Really?", and Jasmine nodded, "Yeah, with that man who fatally shocked himself to death, he was the last one who saw you, and I never said anything to Oscorp, so they figured that the fire, since it was huge, before Gwen dwindled it down to levels where the firefighters could kill it, had killed you as you are naturally afraid of fire, as far as I know.".
A relieved, deep sigh was heard, and Onyx smiled, "Thank you, Jasmine.", and Jasmine smiled, "You're very welcome, Onyx.", before a small blush came to her cheeks, "How did you avoid us to give us privacy?".
Onyx replied, "Went to sleep in the mountains, in your mindscape, and on the rare occasions your Jean was distracted by you, snuck out to explore the warehouse.", and Jasmine smiled gratefully, "That's really nice of you, Onyx...You don't really love and mate like us humans do?".
Onyx shook its head, "No...Like we said, we species never been knowing human emotions or being like human. We species just reproduce like asexually, like paper copies of us, but smaller and younger until they grow to maturity.".
"I see... I guess it would make things less awkward if you do just kinda stay out of the way for the most part during those intimate moments.", Jasmine blushed as she rubbed her arm.
"That was our thought as well.", Onyx agreed. Onyx was also thinking in terms of how to do more for Jasmine in more ways than simply trying to eat away the curse and perhaps fix the damage the monster had done to her, but those ideas were more on the backburner for the moment; the focus was still on just the little things that Jasmine and they agreed on as well as Onyx still trying to figure out how to better function by being a part of her.
Jasmine smiles warmly, and exhales, "Do you want to meet the others now?", as she knew that some secrets needed to be kept for personal reasons, and some other secrets needed to be told for the sake of people's safety or something. That was something she learned extremely quickly over the years here after having hated to be lied to, being involved in a secret which lasted for some time before Genie explained why Aladdin lied, keeping his inner self secret.
Onyx thought about it for a few moments. On one hand, it might be better to let them know sooner rather than later, but on the other hand, Jasmine still only just learned of Onyx's presence earlier and it might be smarter to give some time to let that trust and understanding grow for a little while before introducing them to the others...
Onyx exhaled, "We want to get to know you better than the memories we saw. Not just mentally, but literally...And knowing your lovers from your interactions, they will eventually notice the scar getting smaller and smaller...With the estimation of fixing the shoulder scar, we would have at least 4 days, unless you want us to work on it at night too?".
"You can take the time that you need if you wish.", Jasmine assured her. "And yes... maybe it might be better for at least another day or two to wait before introducing you.".
Oynx nodded, "Alright, then.", before hearing Gwen's voice call out, "Jazz, I'm home! Pete and Jean's doing a late patrol!". Jasmine sighed with a smile, "You go rest in my mindscape. We can talk tomorrow, alright?".
"Okay. See you tomorrow, Jasmine.", Onyx smiled at her, before absorbing into Jasmine's skin, and then into her mindscape gently and warmly, admitting to itself that working on the shoulder scar has exhausted them out, and rest sounds really nice right now...Fixing would be easier the next few days.
Strangely, after accepting that Onyx is a guest, Jasmine can feel Onyx's exhaustion and felt them go to sleep, and she smiled, heading out of the bathroom, looking at Gwen with a sultry purr, "Hello, Gwen...Care to join me in bed?".
Gwen chuckled, "I swear you're eager every afternoon we come home...", walking up to hold her lover, kissing her and caressing her fur, and Jasmine giggled, "What can I say? Patrolling is lonely on those school days...At least we have weekends to patrol together...", curling her tail around Gwen's waist, poking under her shirt.
Gwen moaned softly in pleasure, and grinned, "Let's go have some pleasure time, my beautiful princess.", and swept Jasmine off her feet, heading fast for the bedroom.
Indeed, over the next few days, the scar was carefully healed, and the damage was like it wasn't there anymore, with Onyx eating the last of the energy from the damage and was proud to see no signs of scarring or internal damage or infection on either side of the through and through that was there, and now it's not.
The clothes and fur helped hide it for most of the time, and since the human timing shift was different every day or week, the others didn't notice until one of them decided to wake Jasmine up in her human form, in the morning.
