Tandy goes back to the suite after her incident the day before and Maddie convinces her that a hamburger is a lot better than chips. August 9th 2012

Tandy opened to the door of her suite very carefully as her hands were filled with food. Once safely inside, she closed the door with her foot and set all the yummy foods on the coffee table. Sitting down on the floor she opened up the bag of chips and started to devour them, not stopping to take a breathe. She was still dressed in her training outfit from yesterday, it wasn't until she looked up to see she wasn't alone, "Hi Maddie." She said after swallowing her food, she must look terrible, she hadn't seen a mirror since yesterday.

"Tandy Tandy Tandy...." Maddie sighed heavily and shook her head. She had watched silently from her perch upon comfy chair as her suitemate, looking a little worse for wear, preoccupied herself with the bag of chips. "The walk of shame? Really? I didn't think there was anyone around who was worth the sneaking back in thing."

Putting another chip slowly into her mouth as she tried to think of a good response for Maddie, or maybe what to say in general. Her mind was still mushy. "I wasn't trying to be sneaky or anything, just trying to be quiet." Opening up the water bottle and drank half of it before setting it down.

Joke obviously not received. Well, it was mostly a joke; there was always the remote possibility that Tandy had a wild night of passion, with whom, Maddie did not have a guess, but it was possible. "Nah. You're fine." She closed the book in her lap and placed it between her bent leg and the chair's arm. "No seriously. What happened? You look like... like something chewed you up, vomited you back out, ate you again, and shit you out."

"Oh good. Sorry I am a little slow at the moment." Pushing aside the chips and pulling a sandwich that she made in a hurry in the kitchen. Tandy paused for a moment when she asked what had happened to her. "I was in the Danger Room with Mr. Summers. Trying to see what my daggers can and cannot effect. So far it looks like anything that is "living" is considered a threat. Anyways I remember falling, you know how I usually get sick each week before I unleash it all? Well this one was different. I felt so weak and the voices were so far away. I awoke in the hospital wing and lost a full day and very hungry."

Maddie's first reaction was an internal groan; it was like Layla all over again. It would have been nice to not have to worry about a suitemate accidentally using her powers, landing in the medlab, and becoming a hungry hungry caterpillar. She could deal with the weekly energy drain as it had a warning label attached and everything, but spontaneous combustion was so far away from not cool. Maddie knew that she should have expected this as part of the deal with Mr. Haller, and it was her fault for getting complacent and comfortable as it had not happened before, but she was hoping it wouldn't happen. Sigh.

"Oh fucking fuck on a fuck stick," the redhead cursed, sinking back further into the chair. "Well chips ain't gonna do it, sweetie. You need a burger the size of your head. Possibly with some bacon and cheese. Protein, fat, carbs, calcium. All that good rebuilding and energy replenishing stuff. You're not going to blow up again, are you?"

Tilting her head to the side as Tandy gave Maddie a quizzical look. "That sounds...delicious." She whispered, her mouth watering at the thought. Tandy only grabbed food as she could carry since she was so hungry. Shaking her head. "No...I don't feel sick or hot. Just hungry...and a little tired. Where are we going to get a burger like that? Cause that is what I want."

Maddie paused for a moment to let the wheels turn in her head. "You said Mr. Summers was with you? I bet he'll agree to take you out of pity. Or Kyle. Or maybe Lorna will help me make some."

"Pity burger?" She looked down at her sandwich and took a bite out of her regardless, the burger dream felt so far away and she was hungry now. "Where is the nearest fast foods?"

"Please. I got Mr. Haller to pay for a thousand dollar ice cream sundae for agreeing to move in here, remember?" It had definitely been one of her most shining moments to date, to be perfectly honest. "Results not expected to be replicated again, mind you, but I'm sure we can upgrade you from fast food to a real burger. I'll try for like a steakhouse or that dedicated haven of burgerness which fries their fries in duck fat and I hear is really really delicious first, but he might lowball with a diner burger, in which case we aim for a slightly moderately-high priced pub...." Maddie paused, and her fingers began tapping the air, making invisible calculations.

"Worst case scenario is we'll get him to agree to take you to, like, Red Robin where their burgers are still hugely huge, but their fries are kinda meh."

"How can I forget the thousand dollar ice cream sundae. What does a thousand dollar ice cream sundae taste like?" Tandy wondered, cause even with her background, Tandy didn't think she had it in her to get a thousand dollar ice cream sundae. "Maddie you are making me hungrier and I am already eating a sandwich." Pointing at the half eaten sandwich. "Where can we find Mr. Summers?"

Maddie gave Tandy a very serious, solemn look. "It tastes like win," she replied, matter-of-factly. "Now. You go run a brush through that hair and change into something that doesn't smell like hospital bed and I'll pack up here and see if I can reach Mr. Summers with my powers and we'll go from there. Sound like a plan?"

Tandy laughed and stood up, "Okay sounds like a plan." Taking the leftover sandwich with her to change.

The redhead watched as her suitemate retreated into her room and smiled. She was going to make sure that Tandy was going to enjoy the biggest burger that she could wheedle out of Mr. Summers; these adults were way too easy sometimes. But she vowed to only use her powers for good, and the greatest good was helping others.

Or something.

Whatever. It was totally medically necessary.
