Passengers (2016) universe
A New Universe
Harry came into being in a new universe in his counterpart there. It took a moment for his disorientation to clear. In that moment he recognized where he was. He was standing next to a stasis pod containing the disoriented and awakening woman named Aurora. He had seen this movie. It was called Passengers released in 2016 in his original world. The woman before him was identical to Jennifer Lawrence who had played Aurora in the film. Harry was willing to bet his current form was identical to Chris Pratt. Harry immediately summoned his magic and made himself invisible. Merlin had told him it would work. But he was relieved to still have access to his magic.
Harry immediately left the stasis pod chamber and headed towards his room. He placed the manual for the stasis pod into an expanded pocket he created with a thought. As soon as he reached his room, he pulled up his holographic interface for the computer. Nanites flowed out of his hand into the holographic projector. He closed his eyes and felt the nanites connect with the ship's computer systems. He re-shaped his counterpart's identity in the digital records. Jim would now be named Harry. He felt it easier that way. Instead of being a mechanic as a
profession, he was now listed as an engineer. The improvements he planned to make would be easier this way. He also went into the programming of the android bartender known as Arthur. Harry locked down the ability of Arthur to say anything about Jim's discussions of waking up Aurora. It had been Arthur in the movie who had spilled the beans to Aurora. After that he headed towards the Grand Concourse.
When he reached that level, he heard and saw Aurora through the falling water of the main fountain.
"Hello? Anybody," Aurora called out.
"Hello," Harry said causing her to turn and see him.
"Hi," Aurora said. The two drew closer to one another. "Are you passenger or crew?"
"Passenger," Harry answered. "Harry Preston," He added introducing himself.
"Aurora Lane," Aurora replied.
"Do you know what's going on? Nobody else from my row woke up," Aurora said.
"Same for me," Harry answered.
"The crew is supposed to wake up a month before we do," Aurora said. "But I haven't seen anybody."
"The crew is still asleep. I am so terribly sorry to have to tell you that we both woke up early," Harry said.
"How early?" Aurora asked. "Come to the constellation room. It would be best to show you," Harry said. Aurora followed Harry to the room in question. He pulled up the hologram. "We will arrive in approximately 89 years," A male voice of the ship said. "89 years," Aurora repeated. "We need help. Where is the crew?" Aurora asked. Harry took Aurora to the bridge.
"The crew is in a secure hibernation room. Everything important including the controls, the reactors, the engines, is all behind firewalls. I am still trying to find a way through. But it's very slow going," Harry explained as they stood before the secure bridge door.
Aurora looked around at all the equipment laid out before the door showing Jim's attempts to get in.
"How long have you been awake?" Aurora asked as she looked from the equipment to him realizing how alone he might have been.
"A year and three weeks," Harry admitted.
"No. No, no, no, this can't be happening," Aurora said. "We have to go back to sleep." She began running towards her stasis pod room. Harry followed her. "We just have to get back to our pods and start them up again." She was panicking. "I can't find my pod."
Eventually she found the pod.
"Putting someone into hibernation requires specialized equipment which was in the facility where they put us under. We went through all kinds of procedures. These pods are designed to keep us in hibernation and wake us up at the correct time. But they don't have the ability to put us back to sleep," Harry explained.
"You don't think there is a way back into hibernation?" Aurora asked.
"I've looked. I couldn't find it. I'm more concerned that there could be something wrong with the ship to wake us up. I've been studying the ship's systems lately trying to figure out as much as I can about the ship," Harry explained.
"What do you think could be wrong with the ship?" Aurora asked with concern.
"I was able to access the records of the ship on the day I woke up. The ship went through an asteroid field. We hit a very large asteroid. Our shield broke it up. But I'm concerned the shield was overloaded enough to let fragments through. I don't have any clearance to access the areas of the ship I would need to check for damage. All of the diagnostic programs are only accessible through the bridge. I'm working on it. But again, it's slow going," Harry said.
They ended up talking while walking back towards the Grand Concourse. The lights went into a dimmer blue mode.
"It's 9'o'clock, nighttime," Harry explained.
"I feel like I should be working the problem. But I can't even keep my eyes open," Aurora admitted.
"It will take you a couple of days to recover from hibernation. You should get some rest," Harry said.
"I think I will do that," Aurora agreed.
"I will walk you to your cabin," Harry offered. "You don't have to. I will be ok," Aurora said.
"Alright," Harry agreed. Aurora walked towards one of the elevators that would transport passengers along the rotating arms of the ship. "Goodnight Aurora," He said as the door opened.
"More than a year. I can't imagine," Aurora said as she turned back to face him. "It must have been so hard for you."
"It was," Harry agreed. "Goodnight Harry," Aurora said. Harry went into the bar and sat before Arthur. "Whiskey, neat," Harry ordered. "Sure thing," Arthur said. "How's your day been?" He asked as he poured the drink for Harry. "Interesting," Harry said. "We have a newly awake passenger, Aurora."
In this point in the movie Jim was feeling wracked with guilt for waking up Aurora and essentially sentencing her to die before they reached the colony world. Harry's counterpart had done that just before his arrival. Harry had all of Jim's memories. Harry didn't feel a lick of remorse. Things had gotten very dark for Jim in this universe. Aurora was his lifeline. Besides that, Harry had the means to make Aurora immortal at his disposal.
Grand Concourse
Harry came onto the concourse to find Aurora questioning the computer system at a public terminal. The computer didn't see Aurora's logic in the fact that she was awake yet no hibernation pod had malfunctioned in thousands of interstellar flights.
"Good morning," Harry greeted. "Have you eaten?"
"No. I'm starving," Aurora admitted and began to walk with him towards the cafeteria. "This is the dumbest machine."
"Yes. Apparently, there was no failsafe programmed in that if a passenger woke up a crew member would be woken up," Harry said. "Not that I really blame them considering that would mean the crew member never reached the destination alive."
One of the things Harry had taken care of when manipulating the computer was to upgrade his ticket to gold class. Aurora watched him dispense his meal and then followed suit. He waited until he sat down. He then produced a case from his pocket he set on the table. She opened it and found an injection.
"What is this?" Aurora asked.
"That is probably a good precaution," Harry said. "I'm an engineer that has worked on some fairly highly classified work for the government. One of those projects was this. It's a nanite injection. It will essentially make you biologically immortal."
"What," Aurora asked in shock. "How have I not heard about this? Wait, don't answer that. Of course the government wouldn't release this."
"With the overpopulation issues that would be unwise. I am privy to it because I helped create it. I'm actually somewhat older than I look. I am giving you this and suggest you take it. It means even if we don't solve the hibernation problem you aren't going to look a day older than you do once you take the injection," Harry said.
"Are there side-effects?" Aurora asked. "No," Harry confirmed. "You just can't tell anybody."
Aurora looked Harry in the eyes and found him trustworthy. She picked up the injection and used it. The nanites flooded into her system and began to do their work.
"I don't feel any different," Aurora admitted.
"You won't feel any different," Harry assured. "You just won't age. Your DNA won't have any replication errors like they used to. The nanites will make sure that your DNA is a perfect copy as it replicates," Harry said.
"Thank you," Aurora said sincerely. "I don't feel so bad if we can't figure out a way to get back into stasis. Although the idea of 89 years trapped on this ship isn't super appealing. I could certainly have worse company," She added with a grin.
"Indeed," Harry agreed. "Now I can tell you had some thoughts about the stasis situation before I interrupted you. Ask your questions."
"Is there any way in the infirmary to put us into hibernation?" Aurora asked. "The infirmary just has scanners and an Auto Doc," Harry answered.
"I don't suppose they bothered putting spare pods in the cargo hold because it wouldn't do any good if anyone woke up," Aurora said.
"You're getting the idea. In their arrogance they didn't seem to envision anyone waking up," Harry said.
"Do we even have enough food for 89 years?" Aurora asked.
"This ship has stores to feed five thousand for a month or two. You and I will be just fine," Harry assured.
"Well, that is good to know," Aurora admitted. "What do you think about us building a hibernation facility?"
"The information on the specifics of a hibernation facility is not contained within the ship's computers," Harry explained. "I've searched. Look, I can see you aren't ready to give up yet on finding a solution that way. I can come with you and answer questions."
Harry led Aurora to the infirmary. He answered her questions and helped her search once more. They checked the computer once more. All they got was told that hibernation technology was proprietary and dealt with it at a theoretical level. The truth was Furling had stasis technology far superior to what was on the ship here. But Harry hadn't decided yet how he wanted to handle the future in this universe. He wasn't sure he wanted to sit in stasis for 89 years. He certainly didn't need to make that decision any time soon. He did notice that Aurora seemed less stressed and less frenzied in her search than she did in the movie from his old universe. He attributed this to the fact that she was now immortal and wouldn't die before reaching her destination.
It was during this time that Harry found a cleaning robot running repeatedly into a door jam, missing the door. This was a sign that the Avalon was in trouble. Harry knew exactly what the issue was with the starship. His nanites had already allowed him to interface with the Avalon's computers and retrieve the diagnostic information. He wasn't yet ready to fix it. Harry spent time with Aurora but also gave her some space when he felt she needed it. She started dictating to a journal in some of her alone time. She started jogging. She also started swimming.
Bridge
Harry stood on the bridge having used his nanites to shift his body out of phase with the normal dimension of space-time humans inhabited to pass right through the door. Aurora was asleep according to his connection with the sensors onboard the Avalon. He had been exploring the ship having found that his Furling physiology only needed approximately 2 hours of sleep per night to fully recharge.
"You gotta be shitting me," Harry said as he laid eyes upon one of the figures sleeping in a stasis pod.
Her stasis pod read the name Jolene Taylor. But she was identical to the actress named Jolene Blalock in Harry's original universe and time. He had loved watching her play T'Pol in Star Trek Enterprise and later Ishta in Stargate SG-1. She was incredibly beautiful. Her title was even one of the ship's engineers. When watching the Passengers movie the thought had occurred to Harry why they didn't use the access they gained once Gus, one of the deck chiefs, woke up and died to wake up one of the ship's crew that was just as or even more knowledgeable than Gus to help them further maintain the ship. The Avalon had been damaged from the asteroid field. Obviously they would have been condemning another person to dying before reaching their destination if they woke this person too soon. But there would have been a period of time where both Aurora and Jim got too old and died. They should have made a pact to wake this ship's crew member as soon as one of the couple had passed on. The survivor should have woke the remaining crew member. If they had picked a younger member of the crew, then this person would have aged but made it to the colony just fine. And this person would have been able to take care of the ship in the interim. With the ship's damage due to the asteroid field, it would have been a very prudent course of action. Jolene looked to be in her early twenties. When he accessed her record, he found she was indeed 23. She was a very accomplished young woman.
"Merlin, do you have anything to do with her being here?" Harry asked over his link.
"There are an infinite number of realities. This universe matches the Passengers movie you watched very closely. I searched for a universe possessing a highly placed crew member with her physical features. I found many in just the short time I searched," Merlin answered.
So, the answer was that Merlin hadn't placed Jolene here. He had just found a universe where she existed. Naturally as a man Harry wouldn't choose to wake up another man. It would mean potentially sharing Aurora. Everyone had needs. But waking another woman was a different matter entirely. Aurora would be the one that may decide to share.
"Well I won't be waking her if at all until I'm already sleeping with Aurora," Harry thought as he did some more exploring.
The lure of waking Jolene was very strong. She was absolutely gorgeous.
"Why did you do it?" Aurora asked as she approached Harry one day. "Do what? You'll have to be a bit more specific," Harry said.
"Immigrate," Aurora added. "Leave Earth. I'm interviewing you," She explained as she sat at the table across from him holding a small recording device. "You were the first hibernation failure in the history of space travel. That makes you a story. A 120 year space journey means you will never see your friends and family again. You'll wake up in a new century and a new planet."
"I'll answer the question. But only if you agree to answer the same," Harry said.
"Agreed. Now spill," Aurora prompted.
"Space travel has always fascinated me. There was that aspect of it. I also wanted to go to some place a little less crowded than Earth," Harry admitted. "A colony world seemed like a good place. As far as family is concerned, I was an only child. My parents had both passed on before I gained access to the immortality nanites."
"I'm sorry to hear that," Aurora said. "Walk with me." The two began to walk and talk. They found themselves back in one of the many decks of stasis pods. "Do you know how much the Homestead Company made off of its first planet?"
"8 Quadrillion Dollars," Harry answered. "I'm surprised you know that," Aurora replied. "Did you pay full price for your ticket?"
"Yes. I could have taken the desirable trade discount. But the sound of paying 20% of everything I make for the rest of my life didn't appeal to me," Harry answered.
"I'm glad you didn't fall for it. That also doesn't bring into account the debt run up on this fancy starship," Aurora suggested.
"So, it's your turn. Why did you get on the Avalon?" Harry asked.
"I bought a round-trip ticket. My plan was to fly to Homestead 2, live for a year, and then head right back to Earth," Aurora explained.
"Did you just have some desire to travel 241 years into the future. Or was there another reason?" Harry asked.
"No. I'm not a Cryo," Aurora said. The Cryo was a group of people that had put themselves into stasis with specific technological advancements having been achieved as a trigger of when to be woken up. Harry's favorite upon hearing of those memories was when the ability to travel backwards through time was achieved. These people were essentially taking massive leaps forward in time from their perspective. "I would be the only writer to ever travel to a colony world and come back. I'll have a story no one else can tell. I will admit that having a leap forward into the future helped my decision."
"What will your story be about?" Harry asked curiously.
"Humanity's flight to the stars. The greatest migration in human history," Aurora said with a smile.
"It doesn't bother you that you won't know any of the people reading it?" Harry asked. "No. Just that they will be reading it," Aurora said.
"It's an interesting dream," Harry admitted.
"It's going to take longer to achieve than I originally thought if I even feel like doing it after 89 years on this ship. I can't think of anything else to try to save us. And I don't want to think about it at the moment. What is there to do around here?" Aurora asked.
"You can't be serious," Aurora said as she stared at the holographic dance platform. It was the new version of Dance Dance Revolution from Harry's original universe. "You asked," Harry said.
Aurora moved around Harry and scored a point with the basketball. "Nice," Harry congratulated. "Someone seems happy." "I'm up two points," Aurora said. Harry was letting her get up two points. He had to hold back with his Furling physiology.
Grand Concourse, The Lounge "Who is the lovely lady?" Arthur asked as Harry and Aurora walked in together for the first time. "This is Aurora," Harry introduced. "And Aurora, this is Arthur." "Aurora, a pleasure," Arthur said as he took her hand.
Theater
Harry sat beside Aurora as they enjoyed a movie with some popcorn. Harry and Aurora became more playful as they grew closer and got to know one another.
The Star Room
Aurora walked into the star room to find her usual cup of coffee that she took each morning already waiting for her. What's more was she found a sphere next to it. Aurora sat down figuring Harry had left this for her. The moment she touched the sphere it floated up into the air and began to emit a blue glow. Then a hologram exploded into existence around her more realistic than anything she had ever seen. She found herself in a beautiful forest on Earth. She couldn't tell it wasn't real. Even the smells were real. Suddenly Harry appeared before her looking just as realistic.
"Good morning, Aurora. The holo sphere is my gift to you. I have programmed in several dozen locations all over Earth that I think you will find suitably impressive. The nanites in your system will interface with the sphere. All you need to do is think of the scene you want and the sphere will take you there. To preview the scenes just think of the next one and it will take you there. After that you can jump from scene to specific scene with a thought," Harry explained. "I have greatly enjoyed getting to know you. I would love to get to know you better romantically if you are interested. I think I've gotten appropriate ques from you to that end. If you would be willing to join me for a date, please simply say yes when this message is done. If you don't say anything I will understand. It in no way effects our friendship."
Aurora picked up on the fact that the last bit was painful for Harry to say. She didn't blame him. Being trapped on a ship with a woman you were interested in yet who didn't have interest in you would be painful.
"Yes," Aurora said easily when the message ended. Harry smiled and said, "I will pick you up at seven."
Then the scene simply returned to the forest with no Harry. Aurora began exploring her wonderful gift.
Harry arrived at Aurora's room and activated the door alert. From inside the room the ship's computer said, "You have a visitor."
The door opened and a few moments later Aurora came around the corner in high heels secured with straps and a cocktail dress. She was putting a final earring in.
"Wow," Harry said with a grin.
"You clean up pretty well yourself," Aurora said appreciatively. "Did you go shopping or have the suit already?"
"I went shopping," Harry confirmed. "It fits you well," Aurora said.
The Lounge
"Good evening," Arthur greeted the pair. "What can I get for you?"
"I'll have a Manhattan please," Aurora said as she sat at a bar stool.
"Whiskey Rocks," Harry ordered.
"Coming up," Arthur said before the whine of the motors in his base carried him off. "You two look fine this evening," He added a moment later as he came back with the drinks to mix.
"Thank you Arthur," Aurora said. "We're on a date."
"Very nice," Arthur said.
"Took you long enough to ask," Aurora said while smiling at Harry.
"Yes, well. I may be a bit slow to be sure about signals I'm getting. But I wanted to be very sure you were into me," Harry said.
"Oh I'm into you," Aurora replied. "I didn't have to try hard to realize you were into me," She teased.
The two of them had a pre-dinner drink. Then they went to dinner and talked some more.
"Merci Bo Coup," The robotic waiter said as he took away the empty plates. "That was so good," Aurora said.
"Well it wasn't easy getting a reservation," Harry joked as they looked around at the empty restaurant.
"They're probably going to want us to give up our table," Aurora joked back.
"I've added a little feature that may make this place feel less lonely," Harry said as he mentally triggered a holographic sphere to float into the room. It took on a blue glow and then the other tables were filled with talking people. "They are recreations of the other passengers."
"Oh wow. I never thought I'd miss a crowd," Aurora mused. "Thank you." She put her hand on his to show her appreciation. "What you can do with holograms is amazing. It is very much appreciated."
"You're welcome. We humans are funny creatures. We crave privacy at times but are also social creatures. If you and I didn't have each other I think we'd go crazy. I started to get that way until you came along. So, how is your book coming?" Harry asked to change the subject.
"I don't really know what it is about," Aurora admitted. "My dad used to always write about his life. But he had stories. He sailed around Antarctica. He was a war reporter. He had lovers. He wrote about his daughter."
"How did you feel about being written about?" Harry asked.
"It wasn't always easy. I learned a little more than I wanted to know about myself," Aurora said. "When I was seventeen, he had a heart attack right at his keypad. End of story."
"I'm sorry," Harry said.
"I try not to let it bother me. We all go sometime," Aurora said. "Or at least that used to be the case. So, just how old are you?"
"I'm actually sixty-five," Harry admitted. "But my physical age is frozen at twenty-eight." "That's incredible," Aurora said. "I'll be frozen at twenty-five."
"Yes. You'll have as much time as you want to explore and create stories," Harry suggested. He stood and offered his hand. "Come on, I want to be a part of your first story of being in space."
Aurora took his hand and let him lead her to the space walk portion of the ship. He was soon suited up in a space suit. He had taken the opportunity while Aurora was asleep one night to experiment with augmenting a couple of the spacesuits using Furling technology. He made them much more durable.
"You've done this before?" Aurora asked after she watched him suit up. "Yes," Harry confirmed. "Is it safe?" Aurora asked. "Safe is relative. It's reasonably safe," Harry confirmed.
"What about my dress?" Aurora asked as she looked at the space suit she would be wearing. "Oops," Harry said. Aurora laughed and said, "Turn around." Aurora took off the dress and kicked it towards where Harry was facing.
"I've never been so tempted not to be a gentleman," Harry said.
Aurora laughed. She got suited up. Soon they were out of the airlock with Harry leading the way.
"Tether attached," The Ship said over their coms as Aurora stepped out tentatively. "You'll be fine. Let's just do a bit of free-floating. The tethers will keep us safe," Harry said.
Aurora nodded. Harry de-activated the magnetic coupling on their boots and they floated away from the ship. They held hands to stay together. The view of the stars was magnificent. Aurora turned to face him with tears in her eyes.
"Thank you," Aurora said. "Life still has beautiful moments," Harry said simply.
They stayed outside for a bit to explore. Then they were back inside and took off their helmets. As soon as their helmets came off, she tried to kiss him. It was difficult at first with the shape of the spacesuits. But Aurora gripped the rim where his helmet attached and pulled his mouth to hers. Their first kiss was not a quick thing. It was a repeated kiss that signaled her desire for him.
"Come on. Let's get these suits off and head back to my room," Aurora suggested.
She put his suit jacket on instead of returning her dress back on. She wore it well. Soon they were back at her room. Her "bedroom" was on a second level of her suite. He backed up the stairs as they kissed. She removed his suit jacket revealing an expanse of flawless skin. She hadn't been wearing a bra. She was wearing her shoes and black panties that seemed sinful. His shirt went next as they kissed.
Begin Smut Scene
They maneuvered around until her back was to the bed. She laid back on the bed and scooted towards the head while spreading her legs. He came down on top of her. She gripped his shaft finding him plenty hard. She was plenty wet. Aurora rubbed the tip of his length up and down her gash a few times before fitting the tip at her entrance.
"Fuck me Harry," Aurora urged.
Harry began pressing inside of Aurora. She moaned approvingly while he groaned as inch after inch of him slid into her slick depths. When his groin was pressed firmly against her soft flesh and every bit of him was encased inside of her he paused. Aurora bit her bottom lip sexily as she clenched her kegel muscles experimentally. Then he drew back half his length. It felt wonderful experiencing her slick folds pulling at his length. Reversing direction, his hardness pumped back
into her core. Aurora gasped approvingly. He repeated the action starting to pump her slick cunny. He captured her mouth in a heated kiss as he began to claim her pussy with his prick. She kept her legs spread wide for a half dozen strokes before closing them such that her inner thighs met his hips. She wrapped her ankles around his bum and just relaxed back enjoying being fucked.
Aurora couldn't help but let slip a groan of approval as another deep thrust drove into her pussy. Harry's cock was long and thick. He stretched her in just the right ways. His tip seemed to hit her g-spot each time he thrust back in. He was now stroking into her with three-quarters of his length. She loved being fucked. And Harry's cock seemed to do the job quite nicely. It burned within her core in a way she had never experienced before. She felt his balls slap against her butt each time he drove himself deeply into her. He was setting a nice slow place just like she liked. She saw it in his eyes as he took in her form. He was really enjoying himself and just wanted to savor the moment. He was in no rush to cum. Neither was she. She ran her hands along his toned stomach as he skewered her with his shaft. Their eyes met repeatedly. She saw just how much he was into her and how attracted he was to her. It made her wetter to know how much she turned him on. She looked down between them and watched his shaft slick with her juices draw out of her. Her inner lips clung to his shaft on the outstroke. She loved seeing his beautiful cock glistening with her juices. Then he thrust deep and slow just like she liked it when she was savoring the experience. He brought his right hand up and cupped her left breast, playing with the nipple using his thumb and forefinger. He apparently had no trouble holding himself up using his left arm. He played with her tits for a while before sliding his hand down and cupping her firm butt. She made a mental note to take him doggy style later.
"You have a wonderful cock," Aurora whispered. "I would love to cum on it a lot."
"Fuck," Harry groaned at her words. "Your pussy is pretty spectacular too. And you're gorgeous."
Aurora kissed him in reply, sucking on his tongue when he pressed it into her mouth. He found it erotic to be in her mouth with one of his organs as his prick plumbed the depths of her pussy. When they broke the kiss to breathe better, he took the opportunity to look at her. She was a gorgeous woman gladly surrendering her body to him. She was very fit. It was surreal to him to feel as if he was fucking Jennifer Lawrence. She had just the right amount of muscle tone to her form. Her pussy felt heavenly clinging to his shaft, tugging at his sausage with her kegel muscles each time he tried to draw back from her depths. She groaned, moaned, and gasped as he skewered her. He pushed his magic and mind into her body, sensing exactly what she liked and didn't like. He used his magic to take control of her release. She wouldn't cum until he was ready for her to cum. He began to edge her, taking her right to the brink of climax and then denying her.
Time passed. How much, neither of the two lovers could tell. Aurora's pussy grew increasingly sensitive to each movement of Harry's thick prick within her slick sheathe as she was edged repeatedly. She wanted to cum. But she also didn't want the experience to stop. Harry felt likewise. He knew this would not be a one-time performance. But he still didn't want to stop being with her. Given his magic and a featherlight charm on his body he was not feeling very
tired at all. Sweat had formed on both of their bodies from the heat being generated between them and the intensity of the sensations they had felt thus far. Aurora's eyes were half lidded with the lust she was feeling. She felt so good from the natural chemicals flooding through her body. Her hands continued to explore Harry's form, pulling at his butt as he gradually began to increase the speed of his thrusts.
"Fuck me harder Harry," Aurora encouraged. "I want to cum on your cock. I want to feel you cum inside of me, deep inside. I've never needed to cum so bad."
Harry's thrusting began to rapidly speed up until he was pumping into Aurora with a fast pace that only a magical could keep up for long. She gasped and moaned as he skewered her juicy cunt again and again. Her body shook each time he thrust deep into her body. She took it happily feeling her super sensitive pussy once more beginning to race towards release. This time she just knew it would happen. To Harry it felt like Aurora was getting tighter. To Aurora it felt like Harry was growing harder and larger inside of her. Their eyes were locked trying to convey the intensity of what they were feeling for one another. To him it was the ultimate pleasure knowing this gorgeous woman was laying beneath him willingly taking his dick into her body, encouraging him to plant his seed deep inside of her. The only way it could be any better was if she was ready to be impregnated. That wasn't the state yet. But soon he thought. The thought that he may one day soon inject his potent seed into Aurora spurred him on. He felt that point of no return. He willed his rectal muscles which were tied to his orgasm muscles to remain relaxed for as long as he could knowing it would give him a more powerful climax. Each thrust through Aurora's tight depths was almost painful in the intensity of the pleasure he was feeling. Pain and pleasure became blurred. He held on until he couldn't anymore. At that point Harry groaned as he thrust deep into Aurora's juicy cunny and felt his seed surge into her. Hot semen burst in Aurora's sex as ecstasy surged through Harry. She had been racing towards her own orgasm.
He released the magic which held her back. Her nectar exploded into her already juicy cunny that was even then being flooded with Harry's man-juice. Their juices mixed as Aurora's cunt convulsed milking his spurting prick trying to extract every drop. Magic flooded from Harry's dick into Aurora's slick sleeve and caused her to gasp and cry out in shock.
She had never experienced a climax this intense. Long beyond the point she thought she should have blacked out from the pleasure overload, she briefly lost consciousness. Aurora came back to the most wonderful feeling of aftershocks in her pussy and Harry laying still buried in her looking like a very happy man.
"Oh wow," Aurora said. "You can say that again," Harry mused before kissing her.
He rolled them until she found herself draped on top of him, still impaled upon his semi-hard length. Somehow she felt completely comfortable in this position and just let herself relax. To Aurora's mind that had been a truly magical experience. She didn't want to talk. She just wanted to lay still joined to him and cuddle. Somehow Aurora fell asleep like that. It was thanks to Harry's magic. He allowed himself to follow her into sleep using occlumency to get himself to relax despite being so joined.
End Smut Scene
That first time having sex opened up the flood gates. Harry and Aurora spent a lot of time screwing. The scene in the movie where Jim had told Aurora she was the most beautiful, that happened among many other situations. Aurora had a thing for doggy style. She loved being bent over tables, chairs, being braced against a wall. Harry loved bending her over things.
Harry and Aurora were cuddling in bed after some really great sex. "Are you doing ok?" Harry asked.
"It's hard being stuck on a ship. Knowing that I won't spend the rest of my life here really helps. But knowing I'll still spend 89 years here is very hard. The great sex helps," Aurora said with a grin.
"You never know. It might not take 89 years. We might meet an advanced alien civilization and they might be able to give us a faster tow," Harry suggested.
"Yeah right. The only other species we've met have been at our level or less advanced," Aurora said.
Humans had met five species in their local region of the galaxy. Two species had been at around humanity's level of technological development. One species was quite a bit less advanced but still decently advanced. The other two species were barely industrialized. Some planets had evidence of civilizations that had died out.
"That doesn't mean it won't happen. Some of them have to be beyond the stasis level of interstellar travel," Harry pointed out.
He was thinking of engineering such an occurrence by introducing the Avalon to the Furling. The Forge could easily tow the Avalon the rest of the way to Homestead 2 in about a day. He may just do that after a few years. For now he liked having Aurora all to himself. He wasn't sure if he would ever tell her he woke her up. She would be a lot less upset if he sped up the journey.
"How was your day?" Harry asked.
"Good. I wrote a few pages," Aurora said. "What did you get up to?"
"I took a little break and made you these," Harry said as he presented her with three roses.
"Are they real?" Aurora asked.
"They are. I was able to clone a rose plant in storage," Harry explained.
"Thank you. You know for two unlucky people we certainly got pretty lucky," Aurora said as she laid her hand on the side of his face.
"Attention," The ship's voice said. "You may want to proceed to a viewing area. The Avalon will slingshot around the star Arcturus."
Harry and Aurora were watching through the Star Room view port as the Avalon got very close to the star in question.
"Oh wow," Aurora said and laughed as the ship shuddered. "Definitely," Harry agreed. "If only we could see things like that every day," Aurora said. "That would be something," Harry agreed. "Happy birthday." "I had forgotten," Aurora said. "Well we'll have a dinner tonight."
Aurora laughed as Harry and the robotic waiters brought out a cake while singing happy birthday to her. After the cake they headed over to the Lounge.
"A birthday drink for the birthday girl," Arthur said.
"Aren't you going to ask for my ID? I might not be old enough to drink," Aurora suggested jokingly.
"Oh I would never ask your age in front of a gentleman," Arthur said.
"Oh. Harry is no gentleman...not with the things he has done to me," Aurora joked while looking over her glass at her lover. "Anyway there are no secrets between me and Harry."
"Oh I don't know. A guy has to keep some mystery or a woman might get bored," Harry said with a teasing grin.
"Oh really. And just what secrets are you hiding Mister?" Aurora asked with raised eyebrows.
"That wouldn't make it a secret would it. You'll have to figure it out slowly. I'm like an onion where you have to peel back the layers," Harry suggested. "I'm sure you're the same."
"Oh I'll figure you out," Aurora said, up for the challenge. "I am a journalist after all." "Do your best," Harry said.
And just like that Harry avoided the whole unpleasantness where Aurora found out about her intentionally being woken up. She and Harry went back to her suite and screwed the night away. It was a much better alternative to the movie Harry had watched.
Begin Smut Scene (Warning Anal)
Harry woke up to the feeling of a mouth sucking his cock. He was familiar enough with the sensation from Hermione to know what was going on. When he opened his eyes it wasn't Hermione bobbing up and down on his shaft, but Aurora. She met his eyes and sucked for a bit longer before popping her mouth off with a wet popping sound.
"Happy birthday baby," Aurora greeted. "I have a special present for you." Aurora stood up and braced her left hand against her dresser. She turned to look over her shoulder at him, reached back, and spread her right butt cheek. "You get my ass for your birthday baby. Come and get it. I'm all lubed up and prepared. I used some toys to make myself ready."
Aurora could have sworn Harry teleported to behind her. His cock was as hard as she had ever felt it when she reached back to take hold of it. She applied some lube to her hand and stroked it over his length before guiding the tip to her virgin anus. She prayed that she would like this as much as she had liked his fingers and tongue back there as she felt him begin to press into her. He gripped her hips tightly as he slowly sank every inch of his cock up her back passage.
End Smut Scene
"So, what do you think?" Harry asked a little while later as he and Aurora cuddled in bed.
"That was amazing. I've never cum so hard," Aurora admitted. "I think we may need to do that on a regular basis."
"I love you," Harry said with a grin. "I love you too," Aurora replied before kissing him. "I figured you would like that."
Aurora knew her man was an ass man. He liked every part of her. But he especially liked her butt.
Harry and Aurora had moved in together. She was currently off for a swim. He was in their suite having just woken up from a nap when the lights momentarily went out.
"Please stand by. Your suite's control center is currently rebooting," The Ship's voice said. "I suppose it's getting to be about that time. To save Gus or not to save Gus," Harry mused.
Harry did not plant a tree in the middle of the grand concourse like Jim did in the movie. He planted several trees and many more plants in one of the cargo bays. It took some rearranging of the cargo. But he managed to generate a nice clear space for it.
"This is ship's engineer Jolene Taylor," Jolene's voice came over the intercom. "Those of you awake please meet me in the Grand Concourse."
Harry and Aurora were in bed cuddling after some really good sex.
"Someone else is awake," Aurora said excitedly.
"Come on. We better get to the grand concourse," Harry suggested. Mentally to Merlin Harry said, "Is this your doing?"
"Did you really think I would leave it to chance and let Gus wake up?" Merlin replied by way of answer.
Grand Concourse
They found Jolene standing in the center of the grand concourse near the fountain looking towards the elevator when they exited it.
"Hello," Jolene said. "Who are you?" "Harry Preston," Harry answered. "Aurora Lane," Aurora answered.
"I'm Jolene Taylor," Jolene said. "Is there anyone else awake and how long have you two been awake?"
"Just us," Harry answered. "I've been awake a little over two years." "A little over one year for me," Aurora said. "I've already checked. The ship is still on course. So, Nav Com is still working," Jolene said.
"I've isolated the likely issue to an event just before I woke up," Harry explained. "The Avalon flew through a large asteroid field. A very large asteroid was pulverized by the shield. But I suspect either debris from the larger asteroid or a smaller asteroid penetrated the shield."
"So, the shield was likely overloaded," Jolene said while nodding. "What was your occupation?"
"Engineer," Harry answered. "Convenient," Jolene said. "What did you specialize in?"
"Nanotech," Harry replied. "But I'm comfortable in other fields. I wasn't able to bypass the firewalls to dig any deeper. I was working on it. But you waking up makes that a moot point. Did your hibernation pod fail in a good way? Mine just burnt up the processor which kept time to wake me early."
"Mine did the same," Jolene said. "Oh good. Then you aren't going to die on us of organ failure," Harry replied. "That was a possibility?" Aurora asked.
"Hibernation pods are a complicated system. If they don't wake you properly, you're dead in a matter of hours to possibly days," Jolene answered. "The ship's systems must have rebooted because all diagnostic functions have gone down. My guess is that a key system processor went down. We need to go to main engineering and isolate the problem manually. Come with me please."
Jolene suspected that this Harry had woken Aurora based on the fact that he knew so much about the hibernation pod systems. Given the fact that Aurora and Harry appeared to be very close either Aurora didn't know, or she knew and no longer cared. Either was a possibility. Spending a year on a ship alone would do terrible things to a human's mind. Jolene decided if Aurora didn't know she wasn't going to bring it up until the ship was at least fixed from the current crisis. After, and then she might bring it up. Jolene realized that she was going to have to spend a very long time with these people. Harry was the only male. Which meant she and Aurora were going to have to share him if Jolene wanted any male companionship.
Main Engineering
Harry, Aurora, and Jolene were all in spacesuits with foam sealant canisters.
"Stick together," Jolene said.
They began working their way through major systems one at a time.
"The Power Plant is next," Aurora said as she looked at the list Jolene had made for them to go through on a tablet.
When they came to the door and Jolene tried to open it, it wouldn't open.
"I think we've found part of the problem," Jolene said. "The section is closed off. It is likely depressurized."
Jolene put a mobile shield against the wall above the door console and activated it. It formed a small contained bubble of atmosphere around the three of them as they stood close. The battery on this device would only last for 30 minutes before needing recharged.
"This is going to be jarring as the atmosphere inside this corridor is sucked out into the vacuum of space," Harry warned Aurora. "Hold onto the tablet and brace yourself. Our magnetic boots will keep us in place."
"Ok," Aurora said.
Jolene overrode the door controls and just as Harry said all of the atmosphere was sucked into a hole at the end of a corridor. The hole was small. But the exposure to the vacuum had made everything in the compartment super cold. Jolene immediately began walking in using her magnetic boots and used her cannister of sealant.
"Atmosphere restored," The Ship's voice announced.
"Shit," Jolene swore as she pointed to another hole in the chamber. "We need to trace it. We need to be careful. This is heading towards the fusion reactor." They soon entered the fusion reaction chamber. "It hit the reactor control computer," Jolene said. "We're lucky it didn't breach the reactor chamber itself. We have spares for the computer in storage. I need to stay here and check things over. Aurora," Jolene said as she walked over and took the tablet before tapping away at it quickly. "Here is the location of the spare part we need. Can you go grab it while Harry checks on the vent door? We're going to need to purge the reaction chamber after we replace the control computer part. I would not be surprised if the vent door control is malfunctioning. The reaction won't be as controlled with the control computer in its current
state. The extra heat from the poorly controlled reaction probably damaged the vent door control. We'll also want a replacement part for that. I've included the location on your tablet."
"I'm on it," Aurora said.
"Go with her and get the replacement part you'll need before going outside," Jolene added to Harry.
Aurora and Harry immediately left.
A Short While Later
"Alright. The vent door control has been replaced. We can control it from in here. Stay out there Harry just in case. I'm replacing the computer part now," Jolene said. Harry heard over the com as Jolene replaced the part. A few moments later he saw a stream of plasma being vented out of the reactor. He stood a safe distance away. "Alright. It was all successful. Come back in Harry," Jolene said. "I need to sleep."
A Few Days Later
Jolene had recovered from hibernation. She had also gotten the chance to know the two people seated across from her a little better. Harry seemed like a very good guy. Aurora was simply lovely. But Jolene simply had to know.
"Did you wake her up?" Jolene asked Harry point blank as they waited on their dinner order.
Harry looked to Aurora. She looked at him in surprise as if she had never had the thought. Harry could try to explain about replacing Jim. But that would just confuse the issue. It also wasn't something he was willing to bring up at this point.
"Yes," Harry admitted.
A range of emotions flashed over Aurora's face. She never took on the look of utter devastation from the canon movie.
"Spending a year on your own must have been hard," Jolene said. "It was. But that is no excuse," Harry said.
"I'm not going to lie and say I'm not pissed. But you've taken steps to make sure it isn't a death sentence," Aurora said. "And you got me to fall in love with you."
"What steps?" Jolene asked in confusion. Harry glanced at Aurora and produced a case with an injection. "Let me tell you about some of my earlier work," Harry said.
"That was fantastic sex," Jolene declared as she laid on one side of Harry, Aurora on the other.
The bed sheet was pulled up slightly to cover their lower halves.
"This one is pretty good in bed," Aurora said with a grin while nodding towards Harry.
"Pretty good...I still feel my toes tingling from that last orgasm," Jolene said. "Thank you for sharing."
"We're going to be on this ship together for a long time. I would want you to share if the roles were reversed," Aurora said. She looked down at the sheet for a moment, picking at it nervously before looking up at Harry. "Please, if you fall in love with her try not to fall out of love with me."
"That won't happen. I can love more than one person," Harry said before kissing her.
Jolene wanted that. She had boyfriends in the past. But none of them had ever been as serious as these two were about one another. She was looking forward to finding out if she could have some of that.
