(The scene opens to Lizun’s room as Cosmic is seen panting for a moment as Lizun sitting on her bed smiling)
Lizun: Had fun?
Cosmic: You’re… Relentless…
Lizun: Hehehe. I know.
(Lizun puts her hands on Cosmic’s shoulders)
Lizun: You don’t sound too out of breath though.
Cosmic: Endurance levels definitely…feel increased since these new abilities formed…
Lizun: Hmm… I wonder what else has increased?
Cosmic: Like what?
Lizun: Like… Your resistance.
(Lizun gently makes Cosmic look at her)
Lizun: To the sound of my voice.
(Lizun smirks. Cosmic looks at her, a slight blush forming before she scoffs)
Cosmic: R-Really? I-I’m sure that’s increased too.
Lizun: Gotta be sure, right Cupcake?
Cosmic: Nn, d-don’t call me that now…
Lizun: No. You’re still a Cupcake.
(Lizun puts her arm around Cosmic’s waist)
Lizun: You’re MY Cupcake.
(Cosmic blushes, but she tries her best to ignore Lizun)
Cosmic:....
Lizun: Aww, someone trying to ignore me? That only makes me want to try harder.
(Lizun pokes Cosmic’s side)
Lizun: Can you ignore this?
(Cosmic continues to ignore)
Lizun: Oooo I see. Well… I know just what to do.
(Lizun pulls Cosmic, making her stand up)
Cosmic: H-Hey what-
(Lizun puts her hands on Cosmic’s shoulders)
Lizun: Just relax.
Cosmic: Nn…
Lizun: You know what this is. Right Cupcake?
(Lizun’s hands slide down Cosmic’s shoulders)
Lizun: She told me her secret.
(Cosmic’s eyes widen a bit with surprise)
Cosmic: O-Oh…
Lizun: Yep. And now…
(A hand lands on Cosmic’s stomach)
Lizun: I have one more reason to put my hands all over you.
(Cosmic tenses a bit as Lizun’s hand gently glides around her stomach and sides)
Cosmic: Tch…I-It’s…
Lizun: *Whispers* Shhh… Just relax Cupcake. You’re in my care.
(Cosmic goes silent as Lizun continues)
Lizun: Gotta say, this technique works wonders. Even I’m feeling something from doing this.
(Lizun then crouches, going for Cosmic’s legs)
Lizun: Now to go lower.
Cosmic: W-Wait r-
Lizun: Yep. Full body. Want me to stop Cupcake?
Cosmic: I…
Lizun: Yes or no?
Cosmic:...N-No, it’s fine…
Lizun: Hehe. Good.
(Lizun goes to continue as the scene cuts to Danea look over Bellina’s data)
Danea:.....
Bellina: The data lines up Danea. At this rate, it’s hard to say if there’s a limit to her absorption abilities.
Danea: She has limitless potential. Something no other Titanian has ever had.
Bellina: We do grow stronger as time goes on, but often it has never reached a level like this.
Danea: Are there risks?
Bellina: Potentially. Given her status as both a hybrid and a clone of said hybrid, there may yet be possible issues that haven’t shown themselves. She’s a fascinating case…Quite frankly, I kinda want to meet the original hybrid she came from myself. They both could be equally stunning cases.
Danea: Indeed. Cosmic and her template hybrid are both very intriguing and promising specimens, even with what little we have.
(Danea thinks)
Danea: They could be excellent members of the cause…
Bellina: Titania’s cause of saving the universe would definitely benefit from such raw power and skill!
Danea: Yes, Titania’s cause… Not to mention a chance to examin hybrids up close. And maybe find more.
Bellina: Indeed. Titanians are all over the universe. Who knows what they could be doing.
(Danea nods in agreement)
Danea: Titanians, all these other races…
Bellina: Possibilities abound. Anything else you need Danea?
Danea:...No, that’s all for now. Continue your research, keep me updated. I have…planning to do.
(Bellina nods and leaves the room as Danea studies more intently)
Danea:......
(Danea just keeps looking at the data)
Danea: So much potential, yet…this origin point…a Titanian hybrid…
(Danea seems to look a bit disgusted)
Danea:...Vile…
(Danea, hearing what he just said shakes his head)
Danea: No. No. Stop. Don’t let the others hear you say that.
(Danea looks back at the data)
Danea They cannot know……
(As Danea continues scene returns to Lizun’s room as she’s sitting on her bed smiling as Cosmic, who’s currently in her arms)
Lizun: *giggle* How do you feel?
Cosmic: T-Tingly and…w-wow… B-Be…Between t-that and.. Y-your silver ton-tongue…
Lizun: A great combination for more… Gentle interrogation huh?
Cosmic: V-Very…hehehe…
(Lizun giggles)
Lizun: My, you’re absolutely zapped in the head now. I didn’t think I worked you over that hard.
Cosmic:...
Lizun: But, I’m sure there’s still fun to be had. I mean, why not let you have a turn?
Cosmic: N…I-I’m… N-Not right… M-Mind frame.
Lizun: You think so?
Cosmic: Y-Yeah just…I need a minute…
Lizun: Heheh, fair enough. Try and gather your senses back up Cupcake.
Cosmic: I… C-Can’t even get m-mad about th-the nickname…
Lizun: Well don’t, just focus. Relax.
Cosmic: R-Right…relax…
(Cosmic takes a few breaths and exhales, trying to settle herself)
Cosmic: Hoo…
Lizun: Good, good.
Cosmic: Getting there…
(Cosmic relaxes her body and lets out another exhale)
Cosmic: Ahh…
Lizun: Feeling better?
Cosmic: Starting to. Yeah.
Lizun: Good. Take your time. I don’t mind holding you like this a little longer.
Cosmic: I guessed as much.
Lizun: *giggle* I bet. But once you’re settled down, maybe you can have some fun with me instead.
Cosmic: Your idea of fun really isn’t my thing.
Lizun: Yet you don’t mind when I do it to you.
Cosmic: Cause I know you enjoy it.
Lizun: And what makes you think I still won’t enjoy it? Or you for that matter?
Cosmic: I-...I don’t know… Maybe its Nebula’s memories.
Lizun: Still thinking of yourself as Nebula huh?
Cosmic:....
Lizun: Come on, let’s give it a try, have some fun!
Cosmic: I mean…
Lizun: If anything else, it might take your mind off things.
(Cosmic thinks for a moment)
Cosmic: What would I even do to… Uh… You?
Lizun: Heheh, quite frankly, whatever you want to.
Cosmic: O-Oh…I see…
Lizun: Possibilities are endless. Besides, don’t need to worry about hurting me. I’m trained to handle this.
Cosmic: I’d believe it.
Lizun: So wanna give it a shot? Or… Should I try… *Rubs Cosmic’s stomach* Other methods to help take your mind of things?
Cosmic: Tch…I-I’m fine with…trying things your way for once.
Lizun: Hehe that’s my Cupcake.
(Lizun lets Cosmic go as she stands up)
Cosmic: Right… So uh….
Lizun: I’m your muse. What shall you have me do?
Cosmic: Uh…well, how about we…get you down on the bed?
Lizun: Oooooo.
Cosmic: Lizun I’m doing my best here come on.
Lizun: Okay, okay.
(Lizun falls back onto the bed, smirking)
Lizun: Now what?
Cosmic: Uh…I guess we should…get you restrained a bit.
Lizun; Already thinking like an interrogator.
(Cosmic then goes to find restraints. Scene cuts to later as Bellina is walking down the hall)
Bellina….
(Bellina looks at her data pad)
Bellina: So much intel, and so much to learn…Urgh, I need to get her back on my table as soon as I can! There’s just so much we could learn about hybrids and not to mention this power she’s gained!
(As Bellina keeps waking she spots Nathal and Cules at a door trying to listen)
Cules: *Whispers* Can you hear them?
Nathal: *Whisper* Shh, these walls are suppose to be sound proof, give it a minute.
Bellina: What are you two doing??
(The two look over surprised)
Nathal: D-Dah Bellina, hey!
Cules: We’re uh…just hanging in the hall.
(Bellina walks over and notices they are at Lizun’s door)
Bellina:... Guys. Really? Aren’t we more evolved then this?
Cules: Hey don’t jump to conclusions. We faintly heard some laughing noise and the two were talking. We’re trying to make out what they are saying.
Bellina: Why? What business is it of yours what…”things” those two do?
Nathal: Just wanna see what the status between these two is.
Cules: Yeah. Hard to tell if this is something Lizun wants or both of them want.
Bellina: Well I still think this is a barbaric way of going about it.
Nathal: Well we can’t knock or they’ll likely stop.
Bellina: Or you two simply lack guts to do it and just like to spy.
(Bellina walks up and knocks on the door)
Bellina: Cosmic? Lizun? Are you okay in there?
Cosmic: *Voice* O-Oh cra- Y-Yeah! We’re fine!
Bellina: What are you doing in there?
Cosmic: N-Nothing!
(Belina raises an eyebrow and then opens the door)
Bellina: What’s-.......
(Bellina sees Lizun tied to the bed, and Cosmic standing next to her)
Cosmic:............
Lizun:........Eheh, uhh…hey Bellina.
Bellina:................
(Cules and Nathal looks also kind stunned)
Cules: …. And you called us barbaric.
Nathal: Y-Yeah, just…wow…
Cosmic: T-...This isn’t what it looks like?
Bellina: What the hell. Are you two doing???
Lizun: I-I can explain!
Bellina: You damn well better! Everything from before, that’s different! But this!? Wha-...What the hell are you making her do to you???
Cosmic: Gah I knew I shouldn’t have done this!
Lizun: L-Look this is easy to explain, I assure you! E-Everyone just take it easy.
Cules: This will be interesting.
(Scene cuts to later as Lizun is seen untied and they are all talking)
Lizun: So, nothing bad was going on. Really.
Bellina: Hm…
Nathal: Well…I mean, it’s…I uh…
Cules: I don’t really know how to respond. I mean, it sounds harmless I suppose.
Lizun: It is.
Bellina: *Sighs* I still just… *Sighs*
Cosmic: I-It’s fine Bellina.
Bellina: I just…Are you sure that the interrogation training back home didn’t do something to your head Liz?
Lizun: Hey come on now.
Bellina: Seriously. When we get back home, see a doctor. I’m asking as a friend.
Lizun: I appreciate the concern Bellina, but I’m fine.
Cules: Kinda rude to say she’s mental because she’s got some…interesting interests.
Bellina: Still, that training was grueling.
Nathal: Yeah, but I’ve heard of worse outcomes for Titanian trainees. I mean, better to be a bit…freaky than be driven mad with pain or come out with horrendous injuries.
Bellina: Well, what about Cosmic? I still think it’s a bit strange you’re making her participate.
Lizun: I-I’m not forcing her! She agreed to it, right Cupcake?
Cosmic: R-Reluctantly… But yes….
Bellina: Reluctantly…
Cosmic: N-Not like I was pressured! Just…we were…”trying things” as she put it.
Bellina:......
(Bellina sighs)
Bellain: Okay… Maybe I overreacted.
Nathal: A-A bit.
Cules: Yeah…
Bellina: Sorry Liz.
Lizun: You’re fine Bellina. I know you’re just trying to look out is all.
Bellina: Just… Keep it tame.
Lizun: I would never ever force Cupcuke do something she wouldn’t like.
Bellina: I’m sure. I just don’t want Danea to find out. I don’t know how he’d…react to this.
Lizun: Hm, yeah.
Bellina: But, I’ll keep my lips sealed. Interrogation training taught me that much myself.
Lizun: Thank you.
Nathal: Our lips are sealed.
(Cosmic nods at that)
Bellina: Well, I suppose we’ll…leave you be.
Cules: Take care you two.
(The 3 leave the room closing it behind them)
Cosmic:... *Heavy sigh*
Lizun: That was…
Cosmic: Awkward…
Lizun: Insanely.
Cosmic: Yeah….
(Lizun comes up, gently putting an arm around Cosmic’s shouder)
Lizun: You okay?
Cosmic: I’ll be fine. Just…wow.
Lizun: Heheh, I mean, could’ve been worse I think.
Cosmic: I suppose so.
Lizun: You sure you’re good?
Cosmic: Yeah I am.
Lizun: Good, I hate seeing my Cupcake upset.
Cosmic: Heh, I know you do.
Lizun: *giggle* Always quick to recover huh?
Cosmic: I’m a tough girl.
Lizun: Oh Cupcake. Do I need to bring out the charm again?
Cosmic: ! N-No I-
(Lizun puts her arm around Cosmic’s waist and pulls her over slightly)
Lizun: Now what was that about being a tough girl?
Cosmic: *Blushes* I-It’s the truth!
Lizun: Naaaah. I think you’re really a giggly little softie.
Cosmc: N-No I am no-
Lizun: *Puts finger under Cosmic’s chin* And a cutie.
(Cosmic just blushes)
Cosmic: I-...I-I thought I was getting the turn…
Lizun: You did. Buuuuut you lost it with the tough girl comment.
Cosmic: Aw man…
Lizun: You’ll get a shot again. But for now… I think I’ll melt you with my honeyed words.
Cosmic: H-Huh…?
(Lizun leans down and whispers into Cosmic’s ear, blowing into it a bit)
Cosmic: A-Ah! M-My ears…!
Lizun: *Whispers* You’ll love it Cupcake.
Cosmic: Hnn…Y-Your voice…
Lizun: Titanian hearing does a lot. Especially when it comes to making our ears sensitive to every sound made to them up close. In a good way of course.
(Lizun gets behind Cosmic)
Lizun: Remember the girl I met at the academy? I did this very same thing to her. Before that mission.
Cosmic: Y-...You did?
Lizun: Oh yes. She loved every minute of it. My voice echoing in her head, my breath tickling her ears, she was completely in love.
(Lizun gets a sad look)
Lizun: Shame I ruined it….
(Cosmic looks curious, and decides to say it)
Cosmic: How…did you ruin it?
Lizun: Don’t you remember the story?
Cosmic: O-Oh, oh…yeah, y-you did tell it to me…
Lizun:...
Cosmic: Do you think you’d…ever be able to rebuild that relationship?
Lizun: I… Had hopes. But… It’s over now.
(Lizun then steps away from Cosmic and sits on the bed)
Cosmic:... You okay?
Lizun: Yeah just… Bad memories.
(Lizun gives a small smile at Cosmic)
Lizun: It does help you’re here to listen, Cosmic.
(Cosmic goes over and sits with Lizun)
Cosmic: I’m always willing to help. Especially you Lizun.
Lizun: Heheh, ah you’re too kind. Not as tough and scary as you claim to be.
Cosmic: Hey. I AM tough. But, I think I know when to give a kind word or two.
Lizun: And that’s what makes you a good soul Cosmic.
Cosmic: Must be the Nebula talking…
Lizun: Oh no no, it’s you talking. It’s always been you.
Cosmic: You think?
Lizun: Cosmic, you gotta face facts. You’re not Nebula, you’re you. You’ve always been you. Sure, you share her face, her powers, her physique, and her memories, but you’ve also made new ones of your own, and even gained incredible new powers too!
Cosmic: That’s true…
Lizun: Face it, just because you might be a clone doesn’t mean you aren’t your own person. You’ve proven that time and time again.
(Cosmic is silent, but she smiles to herself)
Cosmic: *giggle* Thanks Lizun. I needed that, I…I really did.
Lizun: Heh, anything for you Cupcake.
(Cosmic giggles again)
Lizun: Awwww, someone’s got a cute little giggle.
Cosmic: Don’t ruin the moment!
Lizun: I won’t, I won’t!
(Cosmic giggles again and smiles)
Cosmic: Heh, I appreciate your talk Lizun. You’re…You’re something else. Not like any other friend I’ve had.
Lizun: Well, I like to push my friends to their limits, keep them feeling good about themselves.
(Lizun puts her hands on Cosmic’s sides)
Lizun: And you’re maybe my favorite of those friends.
Cosmic: H-Hey!
Lizun: Can’t resist.
(Cosmic sighs, but she smirks)
Lizun: I see that smirk.
Cosmic: Heh, I uh…I can’t really be upset with this that much anymore. I’m…kinda warming up to it.
Lizun: Hehehehe, well that’s good news to me. If it’s no issue, I’d like to keep playing with you.
Cosmic: Oh? How so?
(Lizun smirks and reaches behind herself. Soon, she holds up a feather in front of Cosmic’s face)
Cosmic: O-Oh? Eheh, what’s t-that for?
Lizun: *Tickles nose* What do you think?
Cosmic: E-Eheh, you think that will affect a tough girl like me?
Lizun: Mmmmmm. Yep.
(Lizun goes and lies Cosmic on her back across her lap as she looks at Cosmic’s stomach)
Cosmic: N-Now hang on Liz, surely we can discuss this right?
Lizun: No. No I don’t think we can.
(Cosmic smirks nervously and swallows as Lizun hovers her feather over her stomach)
Lizun: So “tough girl”, how about a little ab workout?
(Cosmic gulps. The scene shows the door to the room from out in the hall)
Cosmic: *Voice* I-I don’t think I’m in need of a work- EEK! H-Hey wait, I-I’m not-heheh-ready, don’t- AH!
(Cosmic is heard giggling as nearby, Bellina is seen standing and watching the door)
Bellina:....
(Bellina just shakes her head and smirks a bit)
Bellina: Never change Lizun. You really make her happy.
(Bellina walks off back to her lab…)
