Since Nyx had been honest about the importance and danger involved in her upcoming mission, Cheryl decided to stay at her home in Galatic City until she knew that her honey was safe and sound. While she knew that Nyx could take care of herself, the nature of her work was still dangerous, so of course Cheryl was going to worry. Rather than sit and wait, as she realistically had no idea when Nyx would get home, she busied herself with doing some chores around the house. Gasp. She should have bought a french maid outfit. That would have made for quite the sight for her girlfriend to return home to. Oh well. Maybe next time.
The mission had gone... both better and worse than she'd hoped. Better in that there were no casualties for humans or monsters, and that Mileena hadn't been hard to locate or apprehend. It was worse in that Cassie Cage's big mouth ended up causing Mileena to chuck one of her sai at the girl... only for Cassie to move, with the sai stabbing Queen Beatrice right the goddamn forehead. While it would kill a normal person, Bea's healing factor had her basically flitting in and out of consciousness while talking like someone with severe brain damage. Fun.
Nyx herself managed to not get injured, although she was stressed as hell after coming face to face with Kong, who immedately became far less cute to her upon realization that her entire body wasn't even as big as one of his nostrils.
After dropping Bea off at XMH for observation, the blonde Spaceknight finally made her way home, blinking with a bright, happy smile when she realized Cheryl was there.
"Wow... now isn't this the best way to come home..."
Cheryl grinned brilliantly. "Well, I couldn't just let you come to an empty home now, could I?" She walked over to Nyx and stood in front of her, giving her a once-over. Nothing sexual... more just to assure herself that she was physically okay. Satisfied, she practically glomped her girlfriend. "I'm so glad that you're okay."
"Me too. If you ever wondered? Having a 148-foot monster staring at you? Is extremely terrifying." She laughed nervously, taking a moment to just revel in the familiar scent of Cheryl's hair. "God it's so good to see you..."
"It's good to see you." Cheryl could be a massive bitch sometimes, but when she truly cared for someone she had no problem showing it. She took Nyx's hand and marched her over the sofa to sit down. "Can you tell me things? Or is it all hush-hush?"
"King Kong stared at me, Cheryl." Nyx laughed, a little chill going down her spine. "Like... I don't think he'd have purposely hurt me? But let's just say I was very relieved when he saw Ant-Man there and kinda... gave him a bro-nod."
"He did not give him a bro-nod," Cheryl muttered in disbelief. She then let out a delighted laugh. Why would Nyx lie about something like that? "And did a little pee come out when Kong looked at you? Because honestly? I wouldn't blame you if it did."
"I'm not gonna drop names, but... someone definitely peed my pants." Nyx said dryly, eyes wide. "I mean... I was in full armor, and yet he could've squashed me like a grape if he wanted." She paused, thinking about that first part. "I think he recognized him. From that time Scott went all Giant-Man and punched him in the face."
"Respect. I like it." Cheryl nodded. She gently took hold of Nyx's hand, tracing the lines of her palm with her fingertips. She'd be lying if she said that the thought of Nyx in that position didn't frighten her, but she also knew that Nyx loved being a Spaceknight and wouldn't change that for the world. "Did you do what you needed to?" She hadn't looked at the network, too afraid to see bad news.
"Yeah... we got the woman we were after, and brought her back here. We have her locked up until she calms the fuck down and we can figure out if she's dangerous or not." And then, as if just some matter-of-fact thing, "She inadvertently put a knife through Bea's forehead."
Cheryl's eyebrows shot up. "I bet she took that well." She was very aware of Bea's healing factor (although really, who wasn't at this point?). "We should check in on her afterwards," she suggested. She genuinely liked Bea's crazy ass.
"One of the others... Cassie Cage... made some comment that apparently Mileena didn't like. She threw one of her sai at her, but Cage ducked and it thwacked Bea right in the face." She smirked, trying not to laugh. "Crazy bitch giggled and said 'Fatality!' before she dropped."
"Why am I not surprised?" Cheryl asked with an amused smirk. She maneuvered them about slightly so she could cuddle Nyx to her, just wanting to hold her close. "How is this our lives?" She couldn't help it but wonder. Still, for the love of--whoa, love?--this woman, she couldn't imagine being anywhere else.
With a happy sigh, Nyx snuggled into her, grinning as she whispered, "Did I ever tell you how I handled stressful situations now? I take a moment to think of you in yoga pants." She laughed, hiding her face.
"You do not!" Cheryl laughed, delighted, and gave Nyx a squeeze. "I admit to briefly considering a french maid uniform for when you got home, but we'll have to do that next time," she promised. "Although I don't really know how picturing me in yoga pants would help in stressful situations beyond turning you on."
".....because picturing that ass in yoga pants makes me pretty much unable of thinking about anything else, no matter how stressful?" Nyx replied, hilarious in a tone that suggested it was the most common-sense thing in the world. "I mean, duh."
"Well, with sound reasoning like that..." Cheryl teased. She fell silent for a moment, teasing her fingers through Nyx's blonde locks. "I'm proud of you. I want you to know that." She didn't mean to derail the conversation into 'Serious Town', but it also had to be said.
Nyx nodded, looking deeply into Cheryl's eyes. "Thank you. And... I feel like I should say something too." She paused for just a moment before deciding to just blurt it all out before she lost her nerve. "I know we haven't been together all that long, and believe me, I know how crazy you were about Toni. But I'm falling so, so madly in love with you, Cheryl. I seriously want my life to be with you."
Whatever tension that Cheryl still held in her body simply vanished at those words. She smiled, caressed Nyx's cheek and held her gaze. "I'm falling in love with you too." She certainly hadn't expected it, especially how she'd treated Nyx prior to them actually giving a relationship a go, and yet... here they were. "I'm yours." She kissed Nyx's cheek. "And I'm not going anywhere."
"You are? Really?" Nyx had very healthy self-esteem, and she certainly didn't think someone couldn't love her. But she knew how hung up on Toni the girl had been, and combined with how standoffish she could act at times, she wondered if Cheryl was capable of loving her. "Oh thank god." She laughed, letting out a clearly surprised breath.
Cheryl gave Nyx a relaxed smile and peppered her face with kisses. "What's not to love? You're strong. You're brave. You're utterly selfless. And you're beautiful. Inside and out." She gave Nyx a possessive squeeze. "And I'm sorry that I didn't tell you any of that sooner, but I'll tell you that every day from now on if you'll let me."
"Dammit... I was perfectly happy snuggling, and then you had to go and say that. Now I just wanna tear your clothes off and worship your entire body." Nyx said in a playfully pouting tone.
Cheryl giggled and traced her thumb over Nyx's bottom lip. "How about you let me do that for you," she murmured. Nyx had shown her love for Cheryl in a lot of ways. It was about time that Cheryl did the same for her.
"You know? Somehow I think that would be very ok." Nyx quipped, surprised by this sudden declaration of love, but also utterly thrilled by it.
Cheryl was always the type to keep people guessing. But in this case? She decided that Nyx was hers and she was Nyx's and what better way to show her that she loved her than to kiss every inch of her body. With a purr, she pressed her lips to the blonde's, putting as much love and tenderness as she could into it.
Good lord, those lips. Nyx was certain there was nothing in the galaxy that felt as good as those lips touching her. While she hadn't been expecting to come home to this at all, she was most assuredly not about to complain!
