    Summary

    Call bonds with Ripley in a rather unexpected way.
    ***
    "Just realized I might’ve fucked the Queen,” Ripley taps her own chin. The muscles of her arms flex. “Or it’s the other way around. I’m not sure. But it sure looks like I impregnated her and then it got weirdly—Oedipal, in a homosexual way.”
    “…You’re not making sense.”
    Ripley shrugs. “It doesn’t have to make sense. Do you make sense?” Her tone has a smoothness to it, the caution sounds almost like care. It burns Call’s ears.
    She looks away from Ripley and fumes.

    Summary

    Hicks had shyly offered up the tracker wristband, helping Ripley strap it to her slender wrist. He shrugged off the intimacy, telling her sheepishly, "Doesn't mean we're engaged or anything." He wanted to take away the seriousness of this whole operation. How scared-shitless he was, how haunted and tired Ripley looked.
    Suddenly she was laughing, the lightness of it ringing in the air between them, and Hicks felt a surge of satisfaction at the sound, mingled with a sudden desire. He wanted her to smile again and again, to never stop.
    *
    Later, Ripley was fiddling with the wristband and waving away her distracting thoughts. Hicks kept treating her like a person, something she hadn't felt she could be anymore—not since that awful massacre on the Nostromo. And this feeling was very dangerous.
