Malone walked into the kitchen 3 days later, the others minus Finn were all sitting down at the tabel ready to eat breakfast. He passed the table and grabbed his morning alotment of vitamens from the shelf Challenger had set up with each of thier names. He downed the usual 2 pills, then he shook the new pill added to his and Finns vitamens. The silver glinted in the sunlight, he quickly then swallowed it too. Setting down at the table he was careful to avoid Veronica's gaze, he wondered how long it would be like that. He laughed at one of Roxton's jokes, then listened as Challenger began to explain a new experiment. Marguerite just sat there, probly thinking about some gems he thought. He wondered what he secret was, Roxton had said that they'd learned her biggest secret but they wouldn't tell him tell she deemed it appropiate. He saw Veronica stand up out of the corner of his eye. She said something about checking on Finn, he glanced at the watch on his wrist and realized that it was nearing 10:00, they were getting a late start.



Veronica walked into her room to check on Finn who still hadn't gotten up for the morning and it was nearing 10:00. The future snoring girl was sound asleep on her bed. Neither Finn or Malone seemed to have suffered any ill effects, at least not phyiscal. Finn awoke under Veronica's stare, "Whaz it?" She mumbled.

"It's almost 10. I wanted to check on you, you ok?" Veronica leaned againest the doorframe.

Veronica still wasn't sure about what had happened. The attraction was aninmal instinct, wasn't it? They didn't feel anything for eachother now did they? She shook the thoughts away and replied to Finn that he was fine. Together they strode back out into main area and Veronica sat down to finish her breakfast, while Finn went to get pills and food.

Marguerite pushed her food around then stood suddenly and mumbled something not being hungry before walking onto the balcony. She was leaning against the railing looking out over the plauteu when she heard someone coming towards her. She'd never let on about her 'super senses' never let them know she more than she appeared. She knew who it was before they appeared.

Roxton tapped her shoulder and she turned to look at him, "Yes John?" She asked, still unsure of thier true relantionship. The look in his eyes told her what she wanted to know, "You want to know, don't you?" He could have sworn he saw her eyes flash ice blue before returning to thier usual shade. "John what I am going to tell will shock the hell out of you. But you desrve to know, and you will." She paused to take his hand, "About 2,000 years ago there was a........
