"Winny," Christie called to her granddaughter. "Where'd you go hiding this time?"

The little hybrid girl giggled, backing a little further into the air vent in which she hid.

[motherofthealien]

"Are you in the vents again?" A grin broke out on the marine's face. "Do I have to get grandpa to bring you out?"

“Sounds good!” Vari chirped, watching as she walked back into the house. He didn’t want something to jump out and attack her, even if they were home safe.

You could never be too sure.

Turning his attention to the elder male, Vari asked, “Did Christie mother tell you about her time on my home planet? I know it was very difficult for her…”

——

The older Xenomorph nodded.

-Yes. She told me everything about that brief period of time. It almost destroyed me knowing that she was somewhere where I could not protect her.-

Xenodad knew what toll had been taken on her while she had been on that planet; he’d seen it in her eyes and body when she’d returned. To lose her was to lose part of his Hive. He could never allow that to happen.

[askalienbabu]

Head down, Vari nodded. “Yes… I recall her saying she got into an argument of sorts with uncle Tara. I know that my uncle was only concerned for her, not wanting neither outsiders or close family and friends in such a hellish place.”

He paused for a moment. “I don’t know what she saw that upset her so… What was it?” he asked, voice low and curious but also regretful. He didn’t like the idea of his mother figure in danger, and that it had been his home planet made it worse.

[motherofthealien]

-The argument with Tara was one of the most upsetting things. While she understood why he was mad, she was still hurt. That and every horror she saw there...it all left an impression on her. She does not like to talk about it much.-

Even Xenodad didn't much like talking about it, but he understood why his other 'son' was so concerned. -Kaden knows only a small fraction of what Christie knows. But even so he won't talk about it.-

Vari couldn’t help it, he laughed. A giggling snort left him and he held a clawed hand to his maw to try and stifle it. “How interesting! And that is a funny thought, melty dishes.” Shaking his head, he ducked his head into the water, taking a drink and getting a rinse.

——

Christie couldn’t help but laugh as well. She aimed the hose at Vari so he could use the water without her arm being in the way. “Yes, and then nobody would be able to eat off of them.”

A growl was heard as Xenodad darted out of the house and joined Vari in the stream of water from the hose.

[askalienbabu]

Purring, Vari rolled around on the ground, under the spray of water. Guess it was an impromptu shower. He perked up when he heard Christie’s mate come outside to join them, and he hissed a fond greeting.

“It’s been a while. How have you been?” He asked, leaning close to nuzzle the older male.

[motherofthealien]

-Been well,- the Xenomorph chuffed and nuzzled the young Queen back. -How have you been?-

Christie chuckled as she watched the two and turned the hose off. “Either of you hungry? I can make you two a snack while you catch up.”

[askalienbabu]

“I’ve been better… Just returned from a trip back home. Not sure how much you heard from Christie mom, but…. It was bad,” Vari said, tone sorrowful and head ducked down.

At Christie’s question, he nodded. “Yeah…that steak was kind of a snack, really. What do you have?”

[motherofthealien]

"Lots of meat for the two of you, that is for sure," the marine smiled softly and moved to go back inside, leaving the sliding glass door open for the Xenomorphs to come through if they wanted. Sighing to herself in the empty kitchen, she rubbed her eyes, shook her head, and moved to pull out a pretty blue drinking glass for herself.

[motherofthealien]

@askalienbabu Purring quietly in interest, Vari followed Christie out, nodding when she replied to him but he was too curious as to what she wanted to show him. Head tilted, Vari watched as she opened the canister. Then, smelling the liquid, he squawked in alarm and made a grab for it before she could pour it on herself. He missed. The young one watched anxiously as her sleeve melted off and his tail twitched as… Nothing happened to her arm. “Ooo!” He cooed, sniffing at her arm and licking at the acid. It tangled on his tongue. Yup, definitely was acid. “I see what you mean! It worked me still, though, when I saw you pour it…” Vari admitted. —— Christie laughed brightly, smiling at her adopted son. “That’s exactly how I several of my squad mates reacted when I stuck my hand in a vat of I battery acid. They freaked out and tried to stop me. I think I gave my sarge a heart attack.” "It doesn't bother me, but I like to wash it off as soon as possible just because it's acid and not everyone is resistant to corrosives." She took a small garden hose and quickly rinsed her arm off. "It wouldn't really do me any good if I forgot I had it on myself and I'm wondering why my dinner plates look eaten away."

[motherofthealien]

@askalienbabu

Vari smiled warmly, the expression on a xenomorphs’ usually expressionless face still seeking to shine through on him. “That he is happy is good, and that he aspired to be like his wonderful mom, is beautiful,” the Queen says softly.

He finished up his steak as Christie kissed his ‘forehead’, purring as he listened to her speak. Once done, he spoke. “I see! I had thought humans mostly stayed the same. While I know they can adapt, I thought it took longer for humans to evolve? Perhaps that is my ignorance.”

——

“Many others think that humans haven’t progressed much either, but because many have left earth and reproduced outside of earth’s environments and atmospheres, they have evolved much more quick,” Christie explained, digging around in a metal cabinet and pulling out a silver-colored cylindrical container. Sometimes she messed up on her earth English.

“Come outside, I want to show you what I mean,” the marine smiled, her weary face bright with a smile.

[askalienbabu]

“That makes more sense, then. I suppose that Earth humans are the ignorant ones, yes?” Vari questioned, curious. If he noticed that Christie had odd vernacular, he figured it was an accent or something and didn’t question it.

Perking up, Vari nodded and put his empty plate in the sink, washed his hands then went over to his adoptive mother. “Oh? How do you mean?”

[motherofthealien]

"I guess you could say that," Christie chuckled and motioned for him to follow her outside. It was dark, so nobody would really notice them in their fenced-off backyard.

Once she found a comfortable spot, the marine opened up the small cylindrical canister and immediately poured the corrosive liquid contents on her arm. A loud hissing noise sounded as her sleeve began to corrode...but not her skin, hair, or nails.

“… They put you on their watch list. Seriously? What the hell is wrong with them? They’ve worked with him for years before, right? Were they always afraid of him? If so, why did they lie and keep up facades? Ugh…” Vari ranted tossing his hands up in the air just as the microwave dinged.

Taking the plate out, the young adult nodded. “I agree. If it were me, would they treat me any different? Or Uncle Tara?” He posed the question in a morbidly curious tone.

——

“There was also a change in positions, and one of the more terrified higher-ups was put into a position where he could do something about Kaden,” the marine explained, putting away her rifle slugs. “Unfortunately for him, he can’t exile Kay outright. Most of the others won’t have it.”

Christie couldn’t help but chuckle darkly at Vari’s question. “Perhaps they would. Xenomorphs are an unpredictable species, but that’s one reason why I love them so much. And if they even think about going after you or Tara, I will see to it that they don’t get very far.”

[askalienbabu]

Vari gave a sigh of relief, having thought the worst. “That’s… Good, I suppose. But if they’re so frightened of him, why keep him around? Kaden could do better, I’m sure!” he defended his brother, sounding adorably earnest.

Considering Christie’s answer, Vari eventually nodded, saying, “That is true. In a way, I suppose it’s awful of me to say, but I’d rather them go after our more primitive strains of my species, than those of us who are more sentient. That way, they could leave us to do our thing, you know.” Even getting the words out seemed to make the young Queen uncomfortable.

[motherofthealien]

“Because there are many others in the UNE who consider Kaden a very valuable asset and ally, even those that don’t like him all that much.” She stood, making her way to a small water heater on the kitchen counter and poured some hot water into a mug, then added a tea bag.

“Kaden isn’t a deserter, either. His loyalty runs deep.” Shrugging, Christie took a sip and set her mug down on the table. “I have no opinion on that. After all, I’m only a human. Or a type of human, as the Earth humans like to say.”

[askalienbabu]

“That’s not right…” Vari said quietly, taking a bite of his warmed, raw steak. Swallowing, he clarified. “Keeping someone only because they are useful, I mean.” He moved to sit at the table, but remembered he wasn’t in his humanoid form again, and just opted to stand.

When Christie told him about Kaden’s loyalty and Earth humans, he sighed. “You’re right… Though I still don’t agree with what the humans are doing with him. Also, there’s a difference?” He quelled his head to one side. “Humans on Earth, and your off world colony types.”

[motherofthealien]

"There's nothing I can do about it," shrugging again, Christie sighed heavily. "But his work makes him happy. Ever since he was little, he always wanted to be a marine like me."

"I don't agree either, sweetie," she leaned over and pressed a kiss to his dome. "Evolution is a wonderful thing. Think of the different strains in your species. That's what the humans of Deus are like. My strain is extremely resistant to corrosives."
