Back on the newly-rechristened Superia...
Quickie had made her way to the galley of the ship, briefly introducing herself to any crew she passed, and managed to find a cup to fill with water. Carefully, so as not to spill the water as she walked back, as turbulence buffeted the ship, she returned to the corner of the main flight deck and got to a crouch, waking Mewtwo up with one hand. "Hey, you thirsty?"
Mewtwo nodded and pulled himself to a seated position. He took the cup in both hands and began to drink.
Quickie put her hand on his shoulder again, then reached up to feel the tip of his ear. "You're a bit warm. You feeling okay?"
Mewtwo nodded. "Fine. Just had a rough week. The warmth may be from the contrast dye, as it made me feel uncomfortably warm."
"Most likely that, then," Quickie nodded.
Mewtwo finished drinking and set the cup on the floor beside him. He leaned back against the bulkhead and exhaled. "They had an ulterior motive for those scans they performed. They wished to control me by implanting circuitry in my brain."
"What?!" Quickie stared at him wide-eyed. "Good thing you got out when you did!" She sat down beside him. "Also... I'm sorry I didn't go after you sooner. I didn't know where they took you. I tried to get to you, I did! But, Team Rocket doesn't play fair. I'm sorry. I really am sorry."
"I saw what happened," Mewtwo nodded. "They were armed with weapons that even I could not stand up to." He looked to Quickie. "What happened was not your fault. And you cannot be faulted for not knowing where to find me. The fact of the matter is this: I escaped. Wily escaped. We acquired a new ally in the process. What happened this week is behind us, and we should not dwell on things that we cannot change. Our focus is on the days that lay ahead."
