Backwater Station

Michael Liberty took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and pulled out the last two, offering one to his travel companion and minder. "Well, that is about everything I'm going to get from this place. Where's our next destination?" The reporter asked as he watched the last convoy from this town start moving.

"You're asking me? Well, I would say we should head back to the shuttle and get back on board the Norad II, but I'm sure you would rather keep interviewing people. I know, let's go find and meet that Magistrate! I'm sure things have calmed down enough now that she will accept your interview." His minder, Lieutenant Emily Swallow of the Confederate Military Police, said happily as she took the offered coffin nail. Not that she didn't do everything happily. 

Dealing with Resocs is always a jarring experience. This beautiful woman looks and acts like someone you would almost want to take home to meet the folks; that is, until you learn why they had neural resocialization to begin with. Then it makes you want to keep a healthy distance from them... preferably three or four star systems apart. 

"Yeah. Let's go meet her. At the very least, we can see what the relocation site looks like." He replied, lighting her smoke before his own. She might be a crazy murderer who preyed on young men, but he could at least keep up this cordial relationship while he was stuck with her. 

"Thanks. Yeah, it's odd. I didn't expect the entire colony to up and move. Colonel Duke's orders were only for the core colonists to relocate, not everyone. Oh well, that will be for the Magistrate and him to work out."

"Right. Well, maybe it was a misunderstanding."

"Hopefully. Something does seem off, though." She replied, leaning back on the truck and taking a drag. She looked strangely alluring like that, but he shoved any thoughts of messing around with her during this assignment into a trashcan in his mind and set it on fire. 

Sexy Murderesses are still murders.

"What do you mean?"

"I dunno... I... It might be my brain... but I feel we should have met someone here... someone... annoying. That meeting would have led us somewhere... ahh, it blanks out. Sorry, maybe I'm just tired."

"Do... do you need to use your Stim?" He asked, wondering if something was breaking down inside of her brain. The Resoc program wasn't perfect, and if the person was under stress, it could break the conditioning. If the person felt like they were slipping, they could use their implanted stimpack to clear their minds and revitalize their bodies. 

"No. I'm trying to limit its use. They are highly addictive, you know." She said, giving him a happy smile before taking a drag. "These help keep me centred." 

"Right. Well, how about I drive this time, and you take a nap. I'll just follow these guys, so you don't need to worry about me getting lost."

"You sure?"

"Positive."

"Okay. Just don't tell my bosses, please. I'd hate to be caught breaking protocol." She said, giving him yet another overly cheerful smile as she arched her back, stretching and inadvertently showing off her very seductive curves.

He took a drag of his own, suppressing the shiver going down his spine.

Wasteland Evacuation Zone

It was another cloudless morning on Mar Sara as the sun crested the horizon, bathing the camp in a rusty golden glow. Sitting on the arm of her SCV, Aqua was eating a ration pack while listening to the morning reports from Diaz and a few of Mar Sara's other leaders.

"Around 8000 people showed up overnight. We got them sorted as best we could, but a shipment of relief equipment got misplaced, and the truck we thought was carrying the sleeping mats was full of vespene tanks. They ended up sleeping on the floors of the completed prefabs." A woman named Sheela said. She was the shipping manager for one of the larger mining outfits, so she seemed to take the error as a personal affront to her professionalism.

"Mistakes happen. At least they were inside." She replied, then grimaced. The food in this ration pack was terrible... she would rather eat those grubs back in Re: Monster than spoon whatever this goop was into her mouth. Still, she needed calories to function, and the trucks full of their actual food from Mar Sara City wouldn't be here until later this morning. 

"Water supplies are good, but we need to get the bugs in the waste management corrected before everyone arrives..."

"We have the basics of a field hospital setup, but if we stay here longer than a few days, we should consider adding..."

"We have a few holdouts of people refusing to evacuate... One lady won't leave unless she can bring her pet fish..."

She received update after update from these people, nodding along as she forced down the salty, gooey mess that reminded her too much of what John produced when he didn't use that Flavour Skill to change it. 

Me, I would kill for some pineapple flavouring right now.

"Nothing of note happened in the camp last night. There were some heated arguments, but tempers are bound to flare during something like this. We will be fine. The boys out doing escort duty reported they encountered a few creatures like the ones spotted around the camp, but they ran away from the vehicles." Diaz said, handing her a data pad with the reports. "Also, Johnny and the boys returned late last night, done with the Confederates task. He's got his head down in the barracks right now."

She paused, a forkful of the goopy faux meat at her lips. "He's been busy, so let him get some more rest, but I want to see him at 07:30 in the CAC. No offence to you, you've been doing a good job so far, but we have more militia arriving today, and I need him to take charge of the men."

And I need a hug. It's not weakness to want a hug and to hear him tell me I'm doing a good job, is it?

"No offence taken, Ma'am. Johnny was the actual soldier, not me. I just break up fights and give people a helping hand if they're in trouble. I'll give him a shake in a bit."

She read his thoughts as he said that, unable to believe he wasn't a soldier before, but his surface memories were just that: breaking up bar fights and doing a bunch of little good deeds around the colony. Other than training, or scaring off the odd wild animal, he hadn't even fired that rifle.

She knew it was just her new memories, but she felt almost... jealous of how peaceful his life had been compared to hers. This body had been killing people since... since it was ten years old. She gave her head a small shake and pushed the fork into her mouth, trying her damnedest not to rush over to that barracks this instance and claim the hug she desperately needed.

Wasteland Evacuation Zone

"Marshal Wayne, reporting-" John started to say, then stopped as he realized he was walking into an empty CAC again.

He felt a whole lot better after that short nap and was about to suit up and leave the encampment when Arnold cornered him, telling him the Magistrate was waiting for him at the Command Centre. 

Ahh well, so much for not meeting this beautiful woman that the boys wouldn't stop talking about.   

"In here!" A muffled voice came from one of the small offices off to the side.

He strolled over and stepped into the office. It was cramped, with a desk and a couple of chairs on one side and a couch with a crumpled blanket on the other. Unless he included the furniture, he was alone in there. 

He was about to speak when a shockwave hit him, propelling him backwards onto the couch. A divinely beautiful being emerged from thin air, blue power sparking around her body. She stepped in front of him and straddled his lap. Her long hair, normally in a ponytail, spread around her, arcing with power that was unfamiliar to him. He could see charges of that energy in her Aquamarine eyes, eyes that were staring intently into his, searching his very soul.  

"You, John Wayne, are a very difficult man to get a hold of," Aqua said, then kissed him on the lips. He wrapped his arms around her and plunged his tongue into her eager mouth as his mind raced. 

Oh thank god! She's okay! Damn you, Alec, for not just telling me she was here all along! Wait... is she now my boss?

She broke the kiss then and smiled mischievously up at him, the mysterious powers vanishing. "Yes, I am, and now for my first abuse of this newfound power. You are going to make love to me for the next fifteen minutes. Afterwards, well, we will worry about that then. Got it?"

"Heh, yes, Ma'am." He said, starting to unbutton the grey coveralls she wore, exposing the lacy white bra beneath. It was pushing her breasts upwards slightly, making them seem fuller and rounder than they already were. 

He dived in, kissing the white orbs while he continued to shuck her clothing off, slowly making his way up to her collarbone, then to her neck, and finally back to her lips. 

Her hands hadn't been idle either, though instead of undressing him, she had only unzipped his fly and freed Little John from his prison. She stroked him rapidly, bringing him to life immediately.

"Mmm... you know, this wasn't what I had in mind this morning."

"Well, I did! You and I need to talk... There is more going on than... not now. Just hold me as you make love to me. Tell me I'm a good girl... make me forget these memories, even for a few minutes." She said, a hint of pain in her voice.

Just what in the world happened to her? 

"You're a good woman, Aqua. One of the best." He said, picking her up and laying her down on the couch. He grabbed her hands in his and pinned them above her head with one as he kissed her, using his other to slowly work the coveralls off her legs. "I love how hard you have worked on yourself. To take back control of your life. I'm proud of you, darling."

"Mmm... you mean it?" She said, tears forming in her blue-blue eyes.

"I do."

"Mmm... kiss me, Daddy." She purred, then kissed him roughly as she kicked the coveralls off the rest of the way. A cursory touch as he slid her panties to the side told him she was soaking wet already.

What in the world is going on? Did...did Aqua somehow get Daddy issues? I mean, she always seemed to like being praised, but this seems excessive. 

He slid himself up and down her slit a couple of times, before placing Little John's head at her entrance. He grabbed the back of her head as he pushed himself inside, taking the breath she expelled as she moaned. 

Since they didn't have a lot of time, he set a rapid pace from the start, using his Healing Hands magic on his whole body to increase her pleasure. She moaned loudly into his mouth as he moved, her hands struggling and failing to free themselves from above her head. He released the back of her head and snaked a finger down to her bra, flicking the fabric covering her left breast aside, allowing him to torment her nipple with his fingers. He gave the hard nipple a pull, causing her to squirm a bit, her insides tightening as she had a small orgasm. 

He released her hands, then grabbed her legs to fold her in half, giving him a better angle to drive deeply inside of her. Ever since that first night, when he accidentally came inside of her mid-teleport, they had not been careful, but so far she said nothing had taken inside of her. A small part of him wanted to change that, but now he wasn't sure it would be the best idea. Not until he cleared out a home for them in HOTD anyway, where he could keep her and the rest of his family safe while he travelled between worlds. 

He broke the kiss and rested his forehead on hers, staring into those beautiful eyes arcing with what looked like electricity. She was panting hard, and he could feel her insides tightening as her own orgasm approached. "I'm going to cum soon." 

"Keep going, but I want pineapples!" she said, licking her lips eagerly.

"Heh, yes, Ma'am."

"Oh, John... Ahhh!!!" She moaned as a powerful orgasm rocked her, her hair shooting to the sides as that strange energy coursed through her body.

He smiled as she rode out the pleasure, his body tingling from the whisp of energy that would connect them every few moments. He was nearly there himself. Just as he crossed the point of no return, he started to get up. "I'm about to-"

"GET OFF HER, YOU PIG!" A voice shouted behind him, then something cracked the back of his head, making him see stars for a moment. Little John took this moment of distraction to release the load it was holding back, starting to spray his seed deep inside of Aqua.

"Argh!!!" He roared, activating his Divine Shield, cycling his healing magic, and activating his Ki simultaneously. He jumped up and spun around, intending to strike down whoever had attacked them out of the blue. He hadn't finished cumming, so it sprayed through the air with his spin, but he wasn't concerned about that.

His hand closed around the throat of his assailant, and he slammed the body into the wall behind them, sending a rifle clattering to the floor. As his mind started to clear, he realized he was holding a redheaded woman with light green eyes, eyes that were scrunched up in effort as she struggled to break his grip. That strange power Aqua used was arcing through her body as well, though it was just breaking off his Divine Shield uselessly. "Just who in the hell are you?" He growled, his fist cocked and ready to kill her.

"Ahh... John! Stop! Please, don't hurt her! She is on our side!" Aqua said, suddenly beside him and placing a calming hand on his arm.

"What?" He said, releasing his grip immediately. She dropped to the floor, slipped to the side, grabbing the rifle from the ground and pointing it up at him.

"Aqua, just who is this man?" The woman said.

"Sarah! Put the gun down!"

"Not until you tell me who he is!"

"John Wayne, Marshal of these parts," John said, relaxed now that Aqua said this woman was an ally. 

Guess we should have talked first instead of having a quickie. Oh well... shit, how do I explain this golden glow?

"He is my fiancée! John, this is Sarah, my partner and closest friend."

"Partner?"

"Fiancée?!?"

The redhead looked down the barrel of the canister rifle at him, but her finger was no longer on the trigger. She glanced at Aqua, and Aqua knelt beside her, the two women staring at each other for more than a few seconds. His Divine Shield had ticked off, and the room's light returned to normal, but they were still just staring at each other.

Wait a tic, Aqua answered a question I had in my head earlier. Can... can she read minds now... are they both using telepathy?

"Ahem, sorry to interrupt whatever is going on here, but do you mind taking that rifle out of my face?" John asked.

"You first, cowboy," Sarah replied, glancing down at his pants. Little John twitched as if waving hello.

John just sighed. 

Spoiler

John shows up at the CAC and is alone. He hears a voice calling him to one of the offices. Aqua hits him from behind, and they have a quickie on the couch in there. Just as they're about to finish, John is attacked from behind, and he reflexively activates his Divine Shield. The one-sided fight ends with him choking Sarah Kerrigan up against a wall. Aqua gets him to release her, and she picks up her rifle and points it at John. Aqua and her talk telepathically, but she wont put the gun down until he puts his 'gun' back in his pants.
