Tosh stepped up to the window looking into Cam's decontamination room and knocked lightly. The nerd shirt of the day proudly pretended to have a plan.

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2017 7:35 pm**

Cam looked over, and after a moment, pressed the intercom button.

"Something I can do for you?"

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2017 7:42 pm**

He pushed the button on his end.

"I wanted to thank you for saving them. And... well... apologize... again..."

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2017 7:53 pm**

"It was...it was just a thing. No need to thank anyone for anything..." Cam stuttered.

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2017 8:25 pm**

"You could have run away. The fact that you didn't says a lot. You risked your life for people you don't even seem to like and I..."

"Well, I recently assured a friend that I didn't assume the worst about people but with you I was and for that I apologize."

Posted: **Wed Apr 19, 2017 8:29 pm**

"Mmm," Cam said, clearly a little uncomfortable. "I just...you know. No one else was going to... it wasn't anything, really..."

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 12:02 am**

Tosh noticed the discomfort and decided to try a less touchy-feely approach. "Face it. No one else could have performed such an important experiment in temporal reversion," he said with a light smirk.

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 1:23 am**

"Didn't you say you had once built a time-machine?"

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 1:58 am**

"Well sure but ironically there wasn't time for a repeat performance. There weren't alien shapeshifters trying to kill me in ancient Ireland."

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 2:02 am**

"I'm just saying, that plenty of other people could have worked out a solution, if they had the time and-or the inclination," he said, a bit embarrassed.

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 2:45 pm**

"But other people didn't. Forget the 'only you' stuff. That's the point. You were there and you acted. Nevermind the risking of your life or the saving of lives. I salute your dedication to science."

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 4:55 pm**

"It's...OK. I'm...glad I could help?"

Cam looked legitimately lost, like he had no idea how to respond to actual praise.

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 7:07 pm**

Tosh smiled softly at Cam's confused introversion.

"So what's next for you when you get out of here? An antigravity device made out of a Pez dispenser and some twine?" he asked, "...I don't actually know how your process works..."

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 7:12 pm**

"I look for a problem, and then...I solve it. That's really all there is to a process; I look for something that doesn't...that doesn't fit, and I make it fit."

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 7:27 pm**

"You make bending the laws of physics sound so easy," he chuckled.

"Well, okay, that's mutants in general."

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 7:31 pm**

"How much do we really know the laws of physics? There are plenty of theories out there, but we've pretty clearly shown that they're more loose suggestions."

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 8:39 pm**

"Well, my personal theory for my ability is some kind of pocket dimension for mass and energy storage."

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 8:43 pm**

"Your shifting, you mean. Have you ever tested that?"

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 8:47 pm**

"I haven't taken the time to devise a method to. Other things always seemed more important."

Posted: **Thu Apr 20, 2017 9:09 pm**

"Mmm. Stuff does come up."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:00 am**

"Drug dealers, 'fairies', time nazis, evil mirror universes, crazy Irishmen, aliens... y'know... little stuff," he joked.

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:01 am**

"All just problems to be solved, with the right viewpoint."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:18 am**

"Oh, I know that. And I enjoy solving them. The other me does too, even if he is only capable of inelegant physical solutions."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:21 am**

"Don't dismiss the physical solutions. Sometimes, the direct method is necessary."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 1:39 am**

"Something my fishy friend is not shy about reminding me of. 'Just hit it like an old TV Bro'."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 2:52 am**

"Your fishy friend could use a few brush-up classes."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 2:30 pm**

"He technically knows everything I know. He's just a more primal, id-based version of me and when I shift into him I can't easily access that knowledge. The personality change is largely psychological but the IQ drop is an actual neurological change."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 7:39 pm**

"There's a difference between knowledge and implementation, but I see your point."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 8:25 pm**

"So... umm... how are you feeling anyway?"

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 9:39 pm**

"I've been better, to be honest. They assure me everything will be fine as soon as I'm not quite so...radioactive.

It's odd. You would expect more side-effects from this sort of radiation. The cases of Banner and the Fantastic Four are quite well studied."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 11:57 pm**

"They didn't already have superpowers. And two of those people would very probably just assume give them back."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 11:59 pm**

"Still, though. I don't believe X-Genes serve as radiation retardants. That might be something to look into."

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 12:07 am**

"Please don't irradiate yourself again until you turn green when you're angry," he smirked.

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 12:15 am**

"Are you volunteering to be a test subject?"

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 12:31 am**

"No. And nobody will. Because it's radiation."

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 12:49 am**

"Radiation has many positive uses! You've never been X-Rayed before?"

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 12:56 am**

"I mean the levels required to cause extraordinary cell mutation."

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 1:05 am**

"So, you'd be alright with levels that caused ordinary cell mutation, then?"

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 1:41 am**

"Not remotely. I assume you're well aware that, contrary to popular belief, sharks are not immune to cancer."

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 1:44 am**

"Mostly immune, though. That's a start."

Xaviers!
