It's tragic, yes. LET'S FIX IT.

[mitochondriaaya]

Aya stormed through the door and screamed in rage, kicking her school bag ahead of her because it was safe to kick. Seriously, her backpack wouldn't explode.

"Calm down!" Maya sighed, closing the door behind her sister. "We fixed it. And if you kick that bag anymore you'll have to shopping for a new one. You hate shopping."

"DON'T BE REASONABLE AT ME!"

"OKAY FINE!" Maya grumped and booted her sister's bag back at her. "So what do we do?"

"...COOKIES."

Maya nodded, toeing her shoes off before tackling her sister. "Like you could make cookies in this state!"

"COULD TOO!"

It was a sibling thing okay?

Comments

[mitochondriaaya]

"He...shouldn't ever have reason to meet Drake I think?" Aya admitted. "Unless you'd like help planning your future. We'll bring you with us in to the company in a heartbeat at this point."

"Yeah, you're keepers," Maya added. "Negative results on the B and Liphoic tests as well. Whoever was juicing the jock wasn't very good."

[sliceitwithwind]

"I'm glad that they weren't good." Dilan said absently, "It means that I don't need to find them and twist their head off." which was, really, an option around KHAOS. It wasn't one he took often, but sometimes you had to do it.

"Well...maybe. Gotta say that right now it's looking like the best possible option, but I'm not going to negotiate anything without Nevada in the room. You understand."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Well, barring near criminal negligence," Maya noted, tapping a different tube. "This is cross reactive by the tests. He didn't have limiters on the infection. That's..." incredibly stupid. Luckily there were more potential earth spanning apocalypses diverted in this school than most ever learned about. Part of the reason it was allowed to exist probably. Bottle necking the insanity led to natural die off.

"Hmm, he'll be here in about three weeks," Aya noted. "We may have asked him about keeping you. His response was a lot like yours, naturally."

[sliceitwithwind]

Braig sighed and said, "Okay, so. Who wants to go take care of that asshole? Not Nevada, obviously."

"He likes brownies. I can make those." Dilan offered. It was also taking care of!

[mitochondriaaya]

"We'll take it," the girls chimed easily. "We can trace chemical make up by way of requisitioned materials." The chemistry teacher liked them. A lot.

"...brownies for which person?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Brownies for Nevada. He likes them." Dilan said, blinking, "Not with nuts, though. That's just Pierce as far as I know."

[mitochondriaaya]

"That he does," Aya agreed.

"Had to be sure that you meant regular brownies, not deadly bio brownies for the idiot," Maya clarified.

[sliceitwithwind]

"I wouldn't use brownies as a bioweapon delivery." Dilan informed them in his I am thinking about too many things voice, "It's not elegant enough. Cupcakes, maybe. I could decorate them in a more fitting manner."

[mitochondriaaya]

"The ponies only weaponize cupcakes for good things like parties," Aya noted softly to that. "To make people happy. Absolutely no death and no disease in them. Ever."

[sliceitwithwind]

"Oh. That's right." Dilan agreed, nodding, "Then desserts shouldn't be weaponized. Okay."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Thank you Dilan." Aya noted simply.

"One of these days I'm going to sketch you as a pony, Dilan. Do you know what your mark would be?" Maya asked, tapping one of the last vials still running on the counter. "Hmmm, may want a mild radiation spectrum, it may have a reverse viral vector." And they didn't want anything nasty burying DNA in Braig's own code.

[sliceitwithwind]

"Broken DNA." he responded to Maya, "Give me samples, I'll take a closer look."

[mitochondriaaya]

"But you're not in the habit of breaking it," Maya countered. "It's suppose to be something important to you, that you're good at."

Aya nodded and swabbed the wound, passing Dilan a swab stick. "Radiation isn't the best answer but we don't have time for lesser methods if it's retroviral."

[sliceitwithwind]

"No, but it's what I am." was the comment, "My broken DNA is what makes me what I am. I'm not saying don't irradiate Braig, just that I want to take a closer look."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Yes, but Cutie Marks are what you love, dear, what calls to you. Think about it okay?" Maya asked.

Aya nodded, 'And yeah, I know, run it through additional machines you have and we'll figure the best course of action."

[sliceitwithwind]

"Oh. Then just DNA. It's the most fun part of science. I'm going to make dinner when you're done here."

Braig smiled wryly and said, "Should I go up to the clinic?"

[mitochondriaaya]

"Duly noted!" Maya laughed.

"You," Aya chuckled, "should take a shower. A retro viral won't cause enough damage in twenty minutes that we can't fix and by then Dilan's own tests will be done."

[sliceitwithwind]

"Shower!" he laughed and headed for the hot water, while Dilan went down to start his tests with a soft hum.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Shoo shoo, scream if your leg buckles!" JUST IN CASE! Otherwise the man was welcome (and encouraged) to shower alone right now yes.

The girls had a few more tests to finish out themselves honestly. That and a kitchen to scrub down properly again! They wouldn't get it to Dilan levels, naturally, but they could atomize a medical surface with the best of them and Dilan could come in behind them!

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan came wandering back up when his tests were done and handed them to the first twin he passed, "Thank you for cleaning up." he informed them without so much as a quiver in his voice; his tests had all come back as hoped for, so he was able to go straight into cleaning.

[mitochondriaaya]

"This is good," Maya grinned, laying a hand on Dilan's shoulder a moment before packing the rest of her things away. "Though he needs about a week of supplements to counter the stress on his body..."

"Making them a chewable gummie has made them easier on Olia systems!" Aya grinned easily. "So hopefully he won't hate us!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"He won't hate you." Dilan said, blinking slowly, "Braig thinks that the two of you are really nice."

[mitochondriaaya]

"But if what we have to feed him for a week messes with his stomach he may hate us in general!" Maya noted cheerfully. "It's a risk of being a doctor!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"I don't think so." he started to sound distressed, hate was a very strong word and it made him uncomfortable to have them talk about being hated.

[mitochondriaaya]

Aya glanced at Dilan when that note entered his voice then shot a hand signal at her sister. Some quick thinking then..."Dian, we can be imprecise, sorry, it's not the correct term. We're just joking about the idea Braig could be really grumpy at us because joking about it helps us prepare for the possibility. We know he wouldn't hate us."
