Lab equipment, the latest in SHIELD biochemical hardware sat around them humming along.
Anne Possible MD sat in awe of her husband… He'd managed to surprise her. Unfortunately it wasn't pleasant.
'At least Chase, Cameron, and Cuddy gave us some privacy…' she thought as she sat in shock…
"NO!" James Timothy Possible yelled. "I won't do it!" he frowned thinking of his misused research. "It's not natural!"
Anne swallowed her anger and coolly stared at James. "Hon… I want us to share as much as we can… for as lo…"
"NO, I said. Anne I'm TELLING you to FORGET THIS line of research…" he roared.
"Don't you yell at me Mister." She snapped back with an angry smirk. "Besides…" she tossed an empty injection ampoule into his hands. "it's too late. There's only one dose left. Perfectly safe."
"anne…" he wept. "it's one thing when the kids… Kim and Ron chose to be this way… it was given to them by God… but this… this… isn't natural. Show folk do this…"
"And what The Skull has done is? Cap's show folk?" James flinched as she rose off her lab stool, eyes afury as she embraced her love. "James… I want us to enjoy life… and our children's lives as long as we can…" she leaned back and gazed into his eyes. "Don't you?"
"Yes… but I want to live… and die as we're sup… 'crink!'… to." He broke free. "I DO love you… but I won't."
Her eyes filled with tears. "jimmy…" she cried as he stood at the door, back to her.
"I love you too much to divorce you Anne." He sobbed. "The boys can make their choice when they're of age."
He left her… sobbing out their grief.
