"Yeah," Quickie nodded. "It's not as if this whole affair will be low-key, either.  He may have to go into hiding for a while, which is a shame, as he was just getting used to being out and about.  I mean, if other Legendaries can be roaming around without much problem, there's no reason why he can't."  She shrugged again.  "We'll think of something.  We'll get somewhere cheap, and I'll get a new job as soon as I can.  If I had time now, I'd start taking commissions again."


Mewtwo felt a chill crawl up his spine as James explained what was going on, and as Yeung worked behind him.  He winced as he felt a slight sting in his back, and then moved his arm to lift the corner of the washcloth covering his eyes.

"Try not to move, okay?" Yeung spoke. "It's really important that you keep your shoulders and head forward.  I'm going to stick the needle in now, so lay really still, okay?  Your back is numbed, you shouldn't feel this part, but you may feel some deeper discomfort, and your legs may start feeling pins and needles, but that's temporary and will go away."  He paused for a long moment.  "Okay, you're doing good, just relax..."

Trying to ignore the increasing pressure in his back, Mewtwo motioned for James to lean forward, and he isolated his telepathy. "Your disguise has not fooled me in the least.  However, I have not exposed you for the sake of your safety, and the safety of my clones and myself.  Though, there is something that bothers me... What is your purpose in all of this?  I sense a hidden agenda within you."

"Well, the place is still standing, so that's a good sign," Quickie nodded slowly.  "And they let him see his clones, so that probably helps, so long as they're not actively messing with them in front of him."  She dropped her gaze to her sketchbook and resumed drawing. "Jenny told me that if we win, we're most likely going to have to leave Kanto."  She shrugged.  "That's fine.  We'll head to Hoenn, settle there, and I'll go back to graphic design.  Perhaps go back to school, get into psychology or finish up my nursing degree.  Kind of left that one hanging, as it started to get in the way of work."


After a while, Yeung finished his phone call and returned, noting that Joe had left and James had returned. "Ah, good, you're back," he smiled. "This is going to be a tough one, as lumbar punctures are never pleasant.  There are also two ways we can do this, once Mewtwo's returned," he busied himself with getting antiseptic, a local anesthetic, and the spinal needle, "it can sit up and lean over on a table, or it can lay on its side.  The latter would be better, as I'd have better access to the lumbar region, and it can go straight to a supine position to minimize the post-spinal headache."  He glanced at James.  "Talk to it and keep it calm.  Even with the anesthetic, it's going to feel some discomfort."

A few minutes later, Mewtwo was returned to the room and directed to lay on the exam table.  His eyes were half-closed, due to the dilating drops, and he shielded them with one hand.  Carefully moving, as everything was a bright blur, he did as he was told and moved his squinting gaze to Ryuta and James.  "What now?"

At the door, the other scientist handed Yeung a folded washcloth. "Here, put this over its eyes, help minimize the glare."

Yeung took the washcloth and covered Mewtwo's eyes.  "Just relax, just doing one more test."  He stepped behind Mewtwo and positioned himself at the clone's lower back.  "Pull your knees to your chest, and move your tail forward as far as it will go, please.  Hold that position and try not to move."  He clicked on a shaver and shaved off a patch of fur, then began to smear on a thick layer of antiseptic.

The washcloth over his eyes may have blocked out the glaring room lights, but it certainly didn't make him feel any better. "What is happening?"

Domino spent the next few minutes looking over a few things.  "I suggest you get over there.  Do whatever you can to keep Mewtwo from blowing the place up.  It's been pretty cooperative so far, let's keep it that way."  She looked at James.  "It trusts you.  Use that to your advantage."  Returning her gaze to her computer, she let out an aggravated groan. "I'll see what I can do about getting those cards back, and see what headway Slade made with locating Jessie.  I got a blip from her comlink, and she's on the move again, but I can't raise her at all."


Quickie looked up from her sketchbook as Heirophant entered.  "How'd it go?  You see Mewtwo?  Is he okay?"

Actually I think another thing I heard today might tie that for the stupidest thing I heard all day. 

One of my co-workers went to a Jc Penny's yesterday with her little sister and there were these 2 guys flirting with another girl.  One of the guys looks at my co worker, takes off his shirt, and makes a motion at her that looked like he wanted to squeeze her boobs.....on second though that's more disturbing than stupid.

Also downright rude.  One does not behave that way in public.

So, TFN has a new mod who is far too eager to exercise her new powers.  If any topic is even the slightest bit off-topic, she has to say something.  She strikes me as someone who has never moderated before, and is a bit immature about the position, looking for any excuse to use her new powers, no matter how damn trivial it is.

I've already offered up my moderating experience to TFN through various means, but avoided wording it as a blatant request.  They know that I have several years of administrative experience under my belt, though.

Domino glanced at the schedule, and then the clock. "A few minutes or so.  Basically, what they're going to do is jam a big needle into Mewtwo's back to collect spinal fluid.  The second one is so they can get some from that neck tube thing," she reached behind her head and pantomimed the neck tube, "though, looking up spinal taps, they generally do those on the lower back, so I'm not sure how Yeung plans to do the second one.  Either way," she glanced up at James, "Mewtwo is in for a world of hurt.  I had a spinal tap as a kid when I got real sick.  It suuuuuuuucked."

"Okay, so long as Yeung isn't messing with him," Domino nodded.  She glanced at her computer yet again, then busied herself with digging through her purse. "Also... this makes things easier.  If Giovanni isn't in on the Shadow Pokemon project anymore, then we don't need to be so covert about it.  Though, if Yeung goes through with this..." she trailed off, shaking her head.  Finally finding her wallet, she opened it and took out some money. "I'll order a pizza later."

For a few minutes, Domino remained silent, looking over the schedule and the e-mail.  She looked to James. "Okay, they should be taking Mewtwo back here soon.  It's got a couple of spinal taps to look forward to, so they may need some help in there."  She paused and searched for something, then returned her gaze. "Considering the needle they use is this big," she held her thumb and forefinger about three inches apart.

Domino flattened her lips into a thin line. "This was the e-mail to Dr. Yeung."  She looked to James. "I have Scott getting me information.  Giovanni hasn't told me anything."  She let out a breathy groan, returning her gaze to the computer screen. "We need to figure out how to stop this, and we need to figure it out soon.  I've got Scott on the case and he's getting me Yeung's agenda, so we can keep a close eye on what he's up to.  The only schedule I have is the one he's put up for the rest of the staff, and right now, we're looking at... hold on..."

Opening the schedule, Domino glanced at it.  "Okay, it's up to date for tomorrow.  Let's see what Yeung has planned for tonight..." she scrolled down and checked, "okay, two spinal taps.  Then it says 'nil per oram' for the rest of the night."  She sat back in her chair.  "Near as I can tell, he's got nothing planned right away, but that could change, and I have Scott looking into this."

Taking a moment to readjust her pigtails, she looked to James. "So, our cover's blown, Giovanni would rather have Mewtwo put down, and Yeung's up to no good.  We have cops crawling around the place, and if Yeung gets his way, we're all screwed.  So..." she trailed off and looked at the schedule and then around her office "...where's Meowth?"

Dragging James back to their office, Domino hissed at him to keep quiet.  Once inside, she shut the door and stood there, rubbing her shoulder and letting out a long, low sigh.  Finally, she turned to face James. "Our cover's already been blown.  The most we can do now is cooperate with the cops and keep ourselves out of jail."

Walking over to her desk, she sat and checked her computer. "We've been putting on a show for both sides.  With Giovanni being so secretive, I don't have any choice but to sneak around behind his back."  She checked her e-mail, read a message, and then swore under her breath.  Shaking her head, she leaned into her hands and massaged her temples.  After a few minutes, she looked to James.

"This is just getting worse by the minutes," Domino rubbed the bridge of her nose, and then massaged her shoulder.  "We may end up actually doing the cops a favor, though.  The Boss wants to put Mewtwo down."
