I Am a Scientist

The boy frowned as he looked over a screen in the labs of the point. It was scrolling with data related to the dimensional breach, and readings of the chronal distubences that the point's scanners had, uh, scanned.

He took another sip from his coffee, made a face as it had gone cold, and continued to watch the data scrolling by.

There was a sound behind him as Tereza stops in the door, leaning on the doorframe. "Looks like interesting reading."

"It's dull as dishwater, actually, but who am I to judge," the boy said, taking another sip of his coffee and making a face.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 6:38 pm

"You're the one reading it, so I would assume you would be the one to judge. Not a fan of the coffee?"

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 6:39 pm

"Not generally a fan of it in general. Too bitter.

What brings you down to the point? I didn't think computers and gadgets were your bag."

"Delivering something to the Headmistress. Also making sure the Danger Room's going to be available for the next full moon."

"I thought you lot mostly locked yourself in cells when it's that time of the month?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 6:55 pm

"Well, the Danger Room's been kind of shot since that thing with Conduit until recently. Also hoping a less confined environment will make it a little easier on Viv."

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 6:55 pm

"And you want to use the danger room rather than actual woods so you don't hurt anyone. Smart."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 7:01 pm

"Having a locking door that only a few people can open is a huge plus in this case. But enough about us werewolves. How're you doing?"

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 7:06 pm

"Aging. And slowly," he said, turning back to his data.

"I'm trying to make heads or tails of the stuff we tracked during the incursion; there has to be something we missed during the chaos."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 7:07 pm

"Missed how? You thinking we missed someone?"

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 7:09 pm

The boy shook his head.

"No, I think we got everyone.

It's the whole 'we have to wait to age naturally' thing before I go home. The other one might not mind being treated like stinky cheese, but there's got to be a way to science this up. We just didn't have time to find it as everything was collapsing."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 7:28 pm

"You're looking to rush the clock."

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 7:29 pm

"We've got some of the smartest idiots in the world here. I'm sure I can figure something out."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 7:35 pm

"That's right. Patience isn't one of your strong suits. You're not concerned about creating some sort of dimensional... boom?"

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 7:36 pm

"Well, that's what experimentation and science comes in. I'm not the other guy; I look before I leap.

But I will leap. Eventually."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 7:45 pm

"And what about him? If you figure it out, are you going to take him with you?"

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 7:48 pm

"You saw that only one of us went back through. Don't want to cause a paradox.

That being said, I'm not much of one for 'fate'. If I can figure something out, I'll figure something out. I have a couple ideas."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 7:58 pm

"I'll grant you that I only saw one Will there. I'm not prepared to make any conjecture on what that means over the course of sixteen years."

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 8:00 pm

"Well, hopefully it won't actually be that long. I've got a target now; a problem that is theoretically solvable, so that's what I'm doing.

...I'm not much of a theoretical scientist, though."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 9:51 pm

"And most of our theoretical scientists are just looking to not touch theory for a while after repairing the multiverse."

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 9:56 pm

"Yeah, well, they gotta get off their lazy butts at some point."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 10:10 pm

"I think they've earned a rest, personally. I think we all have."

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 10:11 pm

"Resting's overrated. Gotta get back on the horse sooner rather than later."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 10:11 pm

"You say that like we fell off the horse."

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 10:13 pm

"We got knocked off, maybe, if you want to stretch the metaphor beyond it's breaking point."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 10:14 pm

"How do you figure?"

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 10:17 pm

"Dimensional rifts opening, throwing everything into chaos? Not exactly conducive for a daily routine.

Unless you plan throwing me at various bladed implements to be part of your daily routine in the near future," he added, after a moment.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 10:19 pm

"You want to take a shot at me for that? Go for it."

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 10:20 pm

"Eh," the boy said, waving his hand dismissively. "It was a combat situation. It helped. Just use the other guy, next time."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 11:02 pm

"Hopefully I won't need to throw anyone into a force field blender. Even then, that wasn't my intention."

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 11:05 pm

"Eh, no skin off my nose. I'm back to full speed, the X-Men saved the day, everything's right as rain. Don't beat yourself up over it."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 11:13 pm

"I'm not," Tereza says. "Though it does raise a good point. The X-Men need to do some more teamwork training. What Sam can do is impressive and the Pack works together on instinct, but that's no excuse not to train."

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 11:31 pm

"Yeah, it's not a bad idea at all. A little discipline and practice never hurt anyone.

...Rarely hurts anyone."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 11:36 pm

"I'll have to see what I can put together then."

by **Null** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 11:40 pm

"Honestly, another fight like we had in the DR might make a lot of sense.

My team nearly got you guys."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Apr 16, 2019 12:02 am

"As long as it's just a friendly match this time around. I'm still cross with Sean."

by **Null** » Tue Apr 16, 2019 12:17 am

"Eh, Sam can take a bloody nose every now and again."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Apr 16, 2019 12:28 am

"I'm not saying she can't. But that wasn't exactly a normal punch. Even I know that."
