Thank You to BluePhantom99, animekiss2012, and Pizzagirl5640 for your encouraging reviews! Surprisingly these are my first fanfics! I'm glad you all enjoyed them!
Without further ado heres day two!
Nova walked into the Med Bay. She looked around the lab. There was paper work, medicine, chemicals, books, just everything laying across various tables.
She never understood science. Or medicine or anything Gibson ever spoke about actually. She stopped at a table where a book laid open. She read, and from what she understood it was about medicines.
"Oh, Nova. How can I assist you?" Nova turned around as the scientist appeared with a flask in hand. Nova smiled at her brother.
"Don't mind me, I'm just looking."
"Alright then. Just keep caution around the explosives." He gestured at the table where Nova's hand was placed. There was a cup with a greenish liquid inside besides the book. She jumped back, bumping into another table.
Gibson's eyes widened as some fluids spilled across the table.
"I was joking..." He said rather disappointed at the spills.
"Heh-heh." Nova giggled as she scratched the back of her head. "I think I'll get goi-"
"Gibson, this is all Otto was able to find in his- oh, why hello Nova." A blue frog that walked in with a box.
"Hi Suupa." Nova smiled as she took a towel and wiped away the spilled chemicals. He placed it on the table that Nova had just cleaned up.
Suupa and the rest of his frog brethren were a part of the allies that offered help during the war. Nova felt happy for Gibson. He finally had someone who could actually listened to every boring lecture he prepared. They were like twins.
"Why thank you." Gibson went inside the box and took out a stirring rod.
Nova watched as Suupa took two flasks from a test tube rack and a funnel out of the box also.
"Can you hand me that?" He said pointing at a piece of paper that lay on the table.
"Whatcha doing with all this?" Nova picked up the sheet and placed it in front of the blue frog.
"Nova could you hand me the pipette?"
Nova took a little plastic dropper and handed it to the blue simian. The name of the equipments was the one thing she got out of listening to his gibberish talk when she had no other choice.
"We are using all these to test some of the medicines we've come up with. Here take a look at this."
Nova leaned in close to Gibson's hands. He took the plastic pipe and dropped two drops of the green liquid into a clear liquid inside a cup. The liquid turned a light purple color.
Nova's mouth fell open at the change in color. She smiled and looked up at Gibson.
"I can see why you like this stuff, it looks fun to mix liquids and see what color comes out of it." She giggled.
"It's not just about mixing liquids, some can react violently to others if you aren't careful." Explained Suppa as he too mixed two fluids.
"Well that's no fun." She said slumping her head on her elbows as she watched Gibson mix the same green liquid with another clear one. This time it turned yellow.
"Suupa will you do me a favor and ask Mr. Quint to come see me. I think this is it."
"What's it?" Nova asked.
"Sure thing." Suupa put his equipment down and left the room.
"Quint received some harsh injuries during our last battle with the formless. But these formless seem to have something in the ooze they produce that causes the wound to swell a fair size. This medicine should help. If it does I will need to produce a rather large amount to make sure we have enough just in case we encounter more of them."
"Oh yeah... Sprx told me about that..." Nova was soon hit with realization. Everyone was fighting a fight that wasn't theirs. They were defending a city that they didn't know. They were putting their lives in danger for them.
"Gibson.."
"Mhm." He continued working on his 'medicines' as he called them.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Why yes." Nova watched as he taped a number on the flask with the yellow liquid. It read '28 exp'.
"... You're smart, right?"
Gibson looked at Nova with a confused expression. "What do you mean?"
"I don't know... You know so much... you know the answer to everything."
"Well not everything." He blushed at the compliment and gave her a warm smile.
"But you know a lot... if I asked you a question.. could you answer it as truthfully as you can?"
"I'll try, of course."
There was a moment of hesitance but Nova continued.
"Do you think all of us will make it through the war?... Not us as in everyone... I mean US, us.. the team.. Me, you...the others..." She whispered so no one could hear.
Gibson sighed and thought for a minute. He knew by us she meant the Hyperforce. Not the allies, not Jinmay and not even the recently returned...
"Honestly Nova I can't say. But you do realize that the odds.. Of all 6 of us coming out alive are..." He didn't continue at the sight of Nova's expression.
Silence hovered for a while. Gibson too was hit with sudden realization of the war.
"Can you promise me something?" She asked as she wiped away a tear from her pink orbs. He nodded in agreement.
"Promise me you'll make out of there." She smiled at him.
Gibson smiled back at the words that had come out of her mouth. He hadn't realized how much she actually cared for him until now.
"I promise." He whispered.
Nova walked up to the scientist and embraced him in a hug. Gibson's arms fell around his sisters back. This could be the last time he'd ever hug her. It hurt him to think that way but it was the truth. The odds of all 6 of them coming out alive were..
"Hey Brainstrain." Sprx walked in with Suupa. In between them, a limping Mobius Quint hopped on one leg.
Nova and Gibson broke apart. "You can set him there."
Without taking orders twice they led the pilot to a chair and removed the leg brace he had wrapped around his right leg. It revealed a nasty gash, which appeared to be infected.
"It's just swollen. The tests came back negative, so there is no infection present. I was able to prepare this." Gibson took the test tube from the stand and made his way to Quint.
"It should cause the swelling to disappear quickly."
"Thank goodness. I hate looking at this thing." Quint sat still as Suupa and Gibson fixed up his leg. Soon enough, just as Gibson said, the swelling was gone.
"It worked marvelously!" Gibson's eyes beamed in excitement. "Suupa, we must prepare a larger amount."
"On it Gibson."
"Sprx, can you make sure that Mr. Quint gets good rest? Let me know if there are any side effects."
"I guess."
"Nova would you like to help?" Offered the blue scientist before he walked away.
"Sure." She smiled and followed behind Gibson and Suupa.
Ok so I wrote this one because I imagine a some-what strong Brother/Sister relationship between Nova and Gibson, even though the show didn't really... show it..
I just think that these two really love each other! Plus most of the fics I read don't show to much Gibson and Nova brotherly/sisterly bonding! I hope you guys enjoyed this one too! Only 5 more days to go!
