Vetra glared at the wall of the med bay, it had been two weeks since the accident in the ruins, she had recovered enough that she could eat and take pain killers. According to the doc her Amino acids had changed from dextro to Lavo, something they insisted was impossible, but it seems the remnant don't care about that kind of thing. So for the past week she had been stuck in bed, only allowed up for basic exercise and to use the bathroom.
"How are you holding up?" Scott asked as he entered the bay, still in his armor from his mission.
"Wanting to be out there, I should at least be working my contacts!" Vetra growled, Scott had set back out on the missions last week when she had been stable enough to be on the tempest.
"Vetra, you just changed acid groups, you need rest. Sid is taking care of your contacts, this is what we trained her for remember?" Scott soothed, coming over and resting his forehead against hers.
"I can't take being useless! I hate just siting here knowing your out there without me or your sister watching out for your techy ass." Vetra smirked at the end, Scott smirking with her.
"Well Lexi wants to run her own tests and keep an eye on you, so we are on route to them. Seems the best thing, at least you will be able to help Lexi deal with my sister." Scott joked, Vetra smiled and waved him away as he left to change out of his armor.
"At least your sister has had a week to get over you were hiding things from her." Vetra joked, Scott smiled slyly. "She will have more, Jaal will be meeting us at the station and then I am running away."

Jaal waited at the port, the last week had been rather eventful for the small house, to ease tensions only his birthmother remained as she was the only one that Sara was willing to listen to of his mothers. After the call from Scott, Jaal had spent the better half of the day on the roof while Peebee and Lexi tried to stop Sara from giving chase to harm him. She did calm down enough to realize that her brother had been right, but Jaal knew Scott was making the right choice by avoiding the conflict that was to come until Vetra was healthier and Scott was less on edge from her health, Jaal remembered the last time the twins high strung had fought it had not been pleasant.
"Jaal, you are looking well." Scott called, Jaal turned to see Vetra looking highly unhappy in a hoverchair.
"I can walk Jaal, don't let this overprotective man tell you otherwise." Vetra stated at once, Scott frowned at her.
"Can and should are very different things V. The doc said that you are to stay in bed outside of trips to the washroom and you workout, the workout the doctor approved and nothing else!" Scott growled, Jaal wisely stayed silent sensing an old fight.
"Fine, I expect at least daily updates." Vetra groused, Scott smiled softly.
"Of course, it will only be for two more weeks Vetra." Scott came to the front of her chair and crouched to be eye level. "Vetra I almost lost, please be careful I don't want to lose you because you pushed yourself too far. Think of Sid and I, neither of us can afford to lose you!" Vetra glared at him for a moment.
Vetra sighed and smiled gently at him. "That is a low blow and you know it. Fine I will take it easy, who knows maybe I can finally try this cinnamon bun you are always craving."
"Sure, I will bake you some when I get back." Scott stood and turned to Jaal a dark look that Jaal had sadly come to know well. "I am leaving my soul in your care Jaal, anything happens to Vetra and my sister's soulmate and baby daddy or not I will make you suffer a pain the like you can not even begin to imagine."
With those words Scott melted back into the crowd without a backwards glance, Jaal shook himself turning to grab the bags Scott had left. He handed them to Vetra, letting her help in some small fashion, he steer the chair through the busy port. He filled Vetra in on the more minor gossip of the house, Peebee trying and failing to avoid Lexi's tests, Sara having cravings that have been baffling every member of the house.
"Really an Angara pastry?" Vetra asked, knowing that Sara hated the baked goods of Jaal's people. "Yes, she has developed a craving and taste for my people's food, she blames me and my genes every time she craves them." Jaal explained and Vetra laughed.
