Hank, Alex, Monday afternoon

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

Hank runs into Alex outside, and they both decide that adopting a second brother is a great idea. To celebrate, they decide to do something very, very naughty... (Warning, do not try this at home unless you have a cast-iron stomach!)

( Like the time we sculpted a severed hand out of marzipan and left it in the fridge on a plate.... )

Nathan and Manuel, Monday morning

Nathan stops by to see Manuel and talk about what he's proposing to do with Dani. Old issues come out and parade themselves around, accompanied on the piano by Irony. Nathan winds up more or less washing his hands of the matter.

( You're looking for validation. )

Nathan and Madelyn, Monday late afternoon

At the end of her briefing on how the government's ongoing investigation of Mistra is incorporating the information passed along by MacInnis, Madelyn looks down to see a very sullen Nathan. She prods as to the reason behind the glowering, and Nathan gives her an earful about just how he feels on the subject of the government investigating Mistra. He goes a little too far, but also realizes that he does. Madelyn shares some of her feelings on the subject of Mistra, and the two of them find some understanding in the end.

( 'You're not happy with the government being involved, are you?' 'I suppose I should be. I've always been a proponent of having people clean up their own messes, after all.' )

Dani & Dr. McCoy & Dani & Manuel

Before Tai Chi, Dani goes back down to the medlab to see Dr. McCoy about the weekend. He is stern, but she is coherant and understands. Which is an improvement.

( I am a rock, I am an island. And a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries. )

After Tai Chi, Manuel tries to help Manuel with her powers. It doesn't quite work, but nothing is thrown and they don't fight. Again, an improvement.

( If you can get the hang of this technique I can pretty much guarantee that there will be a wall between You and Us. )
