"Oh Audri. What the hell brings you here on this day when I didn't want to be disturbed?" Vexen asked glancing down at me with his icy cold (duh?) glare as I stood there in the doorway of the Chilly scientist's lab.
"Today is your day to babysit me. Didn't Xemnas give you the memo?" I asked while the Chilly Alchemist looked up for a second before he began to hit his head on the door frame.
He stopped hitting himself for a second before glaring down at me, "He did not notify me that I was supposed to let you know. Wasn't Xaldin supposed to drop you off?"
"Yeah, about that. I'm supposed to go and get Xaldin some elixir for him. Superior said that you are supposed to make it for him since he got food poisoning from some bad cheesecake he ate yesterday." I said while the scientist rolled his eyes before letting me into his lab.
It was a bit dirty, not for the fact that there was a small explosion and a miniature fire going on in some freaky chemical reaction on one of the test tables.
"Looks like you need some help cleaning this place up Vex. Need me to help out?" I asked glancing back at him as he closed the door to his lab and walked past me.
"If you can handle not messing up any of my other experiments for ONCE, then I will gladly accept your help," Vexen sneered slightly while he grabbed a mop from his little supply closet.
"You can start with the mess in the corner." He pointed to the corner closer to some broken machine with sparking wires all over the place and a puddle of water where the said wires were dipped into. I looked from the corner to Vexen with a look of disbelief on my face, "You really expect for ME to go clean up that corner WITHOUT being electrocuted? Can I at least get some rubber boots or gloves to put on at the least?"
"Tch. By the way, have you been taking those medicines I made to see how your body reacts?" Vexen asked out of the blue while he looked through his drawers and pulled out a pair of rubber gloves for me.
He tossed them over to me while I looked at him with a sheepish grin on my face, "About that... Let's just say that some things had happened, so Axel and the others might have gotten involved with a drinking game involving them."
"Oh my Hearts, you should have made sure those nitwits didn't drink those. They were made for consumption, not Nobodies," Vexen sighed in defeat while I pulled the gloves on and gave him a thumbs-up, "Well maybe you should make those bottles idiot proof then!" Vexen just looked at me before giving bringing his hand to his forehead.
"BUT YOU ARE AN IDIOT TOO!" He barked while I had jumped because I wasn't expecting that outburst from him and I almost fell into the puddle. I looked back at him before putting the mop into the water spill and flashed off a goofy grin, "Face it Vexen. You guys love having me here! Speaking of having me here, how is Rauxdi doing in the Abyss?"
Vexen seemed to cringe at Rauxdi's name before shaking his head and returning back to the miniature fire that is spreading to his other experiments on the table.
"She's... Well, she is still very angry after all these years. To be honest, I think that her anger is somehow mutating her powers and vessel," Vexen explained while I had my back to him while I mopped up the puddle in the corner.
"I'm sorry, she's doing what?" I glanced back at him while I finished up my mopping up and went over to the supply closet to pull out a bucket. "Her powers have been erratically changing at a weird rate. Have you noticed any changes with your own body or health over the last few months?" Vexen asked as he pointed his finger out to the fire and blew it out with a small ice spell.
I looked at him before laughing, "I mean I'm a woman, I don't know how my body is supposed to feel while going through teenage puberty! I don't even know if I'm supposed to be this crazy!"
"You really are an inferior mid-" Vexen was cut off when I smacked him over the head with the mop.
"What the fuck was THAT for?" He barked while I held the (broken in half) mop in my hand.
"You were going to call me a midget... What was I supposed to do?" I said while tossing the broken mop into the bucket and back into the supply closet. "Oh, I have an idea: DON'T BREAK MOPS OVER PEOPLE'S HEADS!" Vexen growled grabbing the collar of my shirt before pushing me back against the table.
"Stupid scientist, can't even tell when his hair is on fire..." I growled while Vexen got a sponge from the closet with another bucket filled with soap & water, shoving both objects into my hands, "Just clean the rest of the mess and leave me at peace."
"I can do that!" I said grinning while Vexen glared down at me before I laughed nervously, "Okay... Maybe not quietly, but I can still clean!"
"Fine. Just hurry up so you can go play with the old batteries I need. You are going to extract the acids into different containers." Vexen sneered as he went to his experiment and threw it into the freezer he had in the lab. Wait... A freezer?
"Um, before I start cleaning... WHY THE HELL IS THERE A FREEZER DOWN HERE?" I snapped pointing to the freezer before Vexen glanced at me shrugging, "I have no damn idea. That bloody freezer has been here since we moved here. So this might have probably been a meat locker at some point. ...Or a slaughterhouse."
"That's just... Ugh, nevermind me then." I said shaking my head and sponging the walls with soapy water trying to get off the blue ooze that was sliding off the walls.
"Hey Vexen?" I said while Vexen just glared at me from the other side of the room, "What do you want now?" "A question about this stuff... What the hell were you trying to make this time?" I said glaring back at me while he sighed going into the freezer and pulling out a cardboard box.
"I was trying to make some artificial hearts and see if kingdom hearts could be able to fill the hearts up with emotions," Vexen explained as he pulled out a notebook covered in more blue goo.
"You do know that emotions don't come from the heart... Right?" I asked while I turned my attention back to the blue goo on the walls. He looked at me for a second before throwing a book at my head, "DON'T QUESTION MY THEORIES, GET BACK TO WORK YOU STUPID MIDGET!" "I'M NOT A FREAKING MIDGET! I would say that 5' 2" is not considered SHORT for my age!" I whined hitting my head on the blue goo a couple of times before Vexen looked at me in shock.
"What?" I said looking at him before he wiped the blue goo from my face and just started to chuckle. "What's so funny?" I asked pointing my blue finger at him - wait... BLUE?
"What the hell did you do?" I snapped at the scientists while he just rolled the blue goo in his gloved hand still laughing, "Nothing! I'm serious! It's just so damn funny that you turned completely blue!"
"HOW COULD YOU? WHAT WERE YOU REALLY DOING WITH THIS... STUFF!" I whined pointing to the blue mess on the walls as he looked at the blue goo in his hands and... ate it?
"I was trying to make the perfect blueberry pie, I could care less about hearts at the moment since I haven't eaten for the last month. But since Xaldin doesn't let anyone into the kitchen, I decided to make a blueberry pie... WITH SCIENCE!"
"So, why is my hand blue then?" I said pointing to my blue hand while he just shrugged, "The blueberry sauce can leak through anything, even the sponge that you were using." He pointed to the bright blue sponge that was held in my other hand.
"Huh, imagine that," I said before looking at the wall and grinned.
"What are you - DON'T EAT OFF OF THE WALLS!" Vexen snapped as I took my tongue and started licking the blueberry sauce off.
I looked at him before shrugging, "Shut up and get some toast for me to eat this with if you're going to yell at me." Vexen looked like he was going to flip a cow, but instead, he left for a couple of minutes and came back with a loaf of bread and peanut butter, "At least share the sauce Audri, you stupid fat cow."
"Stop insulting me, you horrible hermit!" I snapped while taking the sponge and throwing it back into the soapy bucket water and snatched the bread from Vexen.
While we made our sandwiches, a thought occurred to me before I looked at Vexen.
"Did you ever make Xaldin's medicine for him?"
"...I'll get the medicine to him in a few days." He commented before taking a bite into his sandwich.
