evil genius mastermind w/ baggage.

Welcome to the Bird Cage Sheriff’s Department! How may I—

It has a distinct smell so I hope it was jut as powerful before. Ah, right. 

If I don’t find this measuring spoon soon, I’m going to go absolutely mental. The half cup is here, and so is the quarter cup, but where is the gosh darn tablespoon… 

So I've been making a pros and cons list...

Well just don't use the hand it feels scratchy on, you went to college - that was an easy problem to fix. 

There’s a thin line between having manners and having a compulsion to take a submissive position to what’s going on around them. If they start out looking to apologize for everything they say and do, they’re never going to stop or get anywhere in life. Only be reactive to it through the actions of other factors instead of their own. And you couldn’t have thought of that in the first place? Maybe then there wouldn’t be a need for a second vaccination.

There is no point in arguing about a certain matter when the other party is so set in their ways. But I am sure you are aware of that since you seem to push people away before even trying to understand them. Possibly why half the town feels the need to be submissive. We thought of everything other than mutations, it isn't every day that superpowers come from a cure. As I said we are working on it and it should be ready soon,  I do hope you have a nice day Miss Owens. [He added in a polite tone and walked away]

It’s kind of hard to trust that this shot will work after what happened with the last one.

Of course, which is why the second shot is taking so long - we don't want more surprises. How are you doing with your mutation? 

What is with all the sorry’s in this place? Sorry doesn’t do anyone any good and yet everywhere you turn it’s synonymous with hello and goodbye. Sorry doesn’t change the past, sorry doesn’t fix what’s happening, and it sure doesn’t make anything okay in the future just by slapping a few lousy words on top of something that’s already been apologized for more times than I’d like to count. Just take it back.

I suppose people are trying to have manners, but you are right sorry's do not go that far. As a profession I've been trained to use them more often than I should. I would apologize for that but there isn't much of a point for that. As I said we are almost done with the anti-vaccination. We want to make sure it is good before we give it out, we are not taking any risks after the first vaccination.

What a fucking trip, man, superpowers in a bottle. I’m thinking I’m going to wait until you come up with that vaccination, Doc, don’t want to be the sorry guy who wrecks the joint or makes you realise how damn crazy this is. You do know this isn’t normal, right?

Yeah it is a pretty large fucking trip, as you put it. We never planned for this to happen - the vaccination was just supposed to fight the sickness. Which it did but added more than it should have. I realize how crazy this is, sir. I am simply trying to look at the best side of it - with the world ending these mutations might be helpful or useful. I do realize this isn't normal but then the end of the world was supposed to be just a tale for the news to scare mankind with. 

Take it back.

We're very close to figuring out the anti-vaccination Miss Owens, I'm sorry that this happened. How have you been dealing with it? You don't feel sick or anything, do you? 

Wow, okay. 

Dad…I— I’m fine. 

Sweetie, you don't look fine. Let me look. [He lifted up both of her hands examining both sides as best that he could. But when he saw no wound on any he came to the conclusion that it had to mean something more.]

I— what?

Shi? Are you okay - you are feeling alright aren't you? Do you need to sit down, you look flushed. 

I think this is the first time I’ve seen this much snow…

Is that so? Well then, how are you liking it? 

My sister can breathe fire from her mouth. Is this anti vaccination going to fix that for her?

Penelope Tennell? Can breathe fire..due to the vaccination? Yes, we are hoping. If she chooses to take it when it is offered it should cut out all mutation that the vaccination caused. 

[Raven followed the doctor to his nearby office, her fingers knotting together as she fought to find her words. She trusted Richard Gallian, inexplicably, and she didn’t know if he knew it either. He had an incredible ability to make anyone feel comfortable, even in the least comfortable situations. She was confident in telling him this, even if he did find her crazy for it.] I have, I— I think Bo has too. I think I started that storm.

[Richard looked at her as she admitted to also having the mutation, a part of him was excited and the other part of him felt terrible. He had no intention of messing with human nature the way he did - he wanted to improve it but he never set out to completely change the make up. He could tell by the look on her face that she was not okay with her new powers. Rich sucked in a deep breath and nodded.] You, Bo, Dr. Dixon, and Dr. Keys - so far. Yes. Well we figured out the shot and pill had an interesting reactions. As you cna see. You started the storm? That's alright, you are are still safe and so is everyone else - you just have a new ability. One I wish I knew more about to calm you nerves. I need to make an announcement about this. I just did not want to jump the gun in case it did not have that reaction. How are you doing? With all of this...is there anything I can do that would...help in any way?

[Raven went to the doctor immediately, clutching her hands behind her back. She didn’t know what to say, or how to even start. How did you tell your superior that you think you may have started an electric storm that caused severe damage to public property?] I’m sorry, if this is a bad time, I… is there somewhere we can talk?

[Richard noticed the nervous and unsure energy coming from the woman as she approached him and even the way she spoke to him. It was very out of character for her to stumble as much as she did with her reply.Instantly it clicked with the man that she had had a reaction as well.] Yes we can go to my office, has something changed in you Officer? As in something feeling off or different...because recent discovers show that well, that is a possibility.
