“Yeah, it's wild. Her power spikes dramatically too, although she said she was the only one who ever got something like that.” you tell her, seeing some sort of realization dawn in Tanya's eyes. “You got something?”
“Just a hunch. But I bet they're there on your world to try and, well, how do I put this delicately?” Tanya wonders, muttering a moment. “No nice way to say it, I think they're trying to create super soldiers.”
“What?” you ask, Tanya gesturing with a roll of her wrist.
“She's a one-of-a-kind hybrid, unlocking some hitherto-unknown power by her people. And I'm sure you've never seen anything like it before either, right?” Tanya asks, forcing you to nod along in agreement. “Then the most logical course of action would be to see if they could recreate her power with more Ctarl-Ctarl/Saiyan hybrids.”
“Well, this is quite the interesting speculation.” Vox says, steepling his fingers while a slow, devious grin spreads across his face. “And I know the topic of children is rather... Touchy, with the both of you. But what if...?”
“No, absolutely not.” you and Tanya say simultaneously, Vox leaning back in his chair and raising his hands placatingly.
“I'm not asking, just asking you to consider the possibilities.” he says, relenting immediately on trying to push it. “Besides, a pregnancy arc would go-”
“Nah, I don't want to try fighting pregnant. While we could have fun with the idea, I can't afford to take that time off training.” you tell him. “Besides, we still haven't even dropped the merch for Blue yet.”
As you say this you focus your flagging strength, ascending for just a few seconds before powering back down with a weary sigh.
“Man, I'm beat. Unless you need me for anything else, boss, I'm gonna hit the evening stream then head on to bed.” you say, Vox shaking his head and dismissing you. To which you nod, turning to Tanya. “You wanna come on? We can show our first live chess match.”
“No thanks, I don't want to embarrass you in front of them yet. They'd call it bullying at your current skill level.” Tanya taunts with a glimmer in her eye, you smirking back and replying only with a telepathic image of you using your tail on her rather... Creatively. She doesn't reply, you smirking in self-satisfaction as she blushes slightly before focusing on Soba's ki, getting his okay telepathically before teleporting to his side. Only to find the Yardratian warrior sitting with his legs crossed, hovering a few inches above the ground.
