Wells re-entered the room just at that moment, along with Shelly and the baby. He was surprised to see everyone in the position they were in: "Some kind of toxic gas here?"
"No, we're alright." Doggy answered as he got up again.
Wells decided to forget about the "gas", when he said: "There's something you guys might want to see!"
Shelly held up a syringe, which had a broken needle, when she explained: "Look! This is what happened to the needle when I tried to take a sample of his blood."
Everyone looked at the needle. Though they noticed it was broken, they couldn't see how that happened exactly.
Ban was the first one to say something about it: "What? The needle just broke?"
"It broke when I tried to stick him with it!" Shelly replied, "All of the needles did!"
"It's like his body can't get damaged." Wells continued.
Even for the S.P.D., this sounded new.
Jasmine decided to take a closer look at the baby. She couldn't help noticing something on one of his blanket sheets: "That's a weird stain."
Wells tried to explain: "Yeah... Shelly wanted him to have this... what's it called again?"
"Pacifier."
"Yes, that. But when she gave it to him, red beams came out of his eyes, and... that stain is all that's left of that pacifier."
If the earlier news of the baby's invulnerability wasn't a bit of a surprise, this red beam thing sure is.
"What is that baby exactly?" Doggy wondered.
"And why does it look western?" Ban wondered.
Wells has had enough of Ban's remarks: "I think you're unconditional racism towards westerners does not apply here! Especially not now!"
Ban, ignoring other people's warnings, responded: "Are you gonna tell me what to do now? You..."
"An oriental like you does not scare me!" Wells stated.
To Ban, Wells seems to have crossed the line: "You just called me an oriental?!"
"Why not! You keep calling me westerner!"
"Take that back! Now!"
Wells wasn't sure if he understood him right, so he turned to Jasmine: "What did he just say?"
Without further ado, Ban decided to tackle Wells. Wells managed to jump aside and dodge the attack, but since Shelly was right behind Wells, Ban tackled her instead, causing Shelly to drop the baby. As a reflex, Wells dropped himself in a desperate attempt to catch the baby. The sound of the baby's cry made everyone believe Wells caught him in time.That's when they turned to Ban.
"What the hell was that for?!" was Jasmine's angry shout.
"He went to far that time!"
"Did it ever occur to you, even for a split second, that maybe you're the one that's going to far?!" Tetsu reminded him.
"You're lucky that the baby is still alright!" Hoji said.
Ban was surprised to hear him: "Partner!? You're not actually defending him?!"
"I don't like him any more than you do, but I do think you're crossing a line here. And don't call me 'partner'!"
While this discussion was going on, Wells seemed to be trying to draw everybody's attention: "Guys!"
"I don't know what it is you have against westerners..." Umeko started.
"Guys!!!" Wells exclaimed.
"... but if you're even willing to..."
"GUYS!!!!" Wells shouted.
That's when he had everybody's attention.
"What is it?" Jasmine asked.
"I didn't catch the kid." Wells replied.
"What? What do you mean?"
As an answer, Wells moved his arms from underneath the kid. The weird part of this was the fact that the kid didn't seem to budge at all. Then Wells waved his arm underneath the baby, demonstrating that the kid appeared to be floating a few inches above the ground. Everyone leveled their heads with the ground, and noticed that the baby was indeed floating. Everyone made their surprised face again.
"This time, I can't disagree with you guys to do that." Wells remarked.
"How's that possible?" Sen wondered.
"I've seen many things in my life, but this..." Tetsu agreed.
"Why can he do something we can't?" Ban sounded more envious than anything else.
"What are the odds of having someone like that crash on our planet!" Umeko laughed.
Wells as he grabbed hold of the baby again, stated: "And I thought this was only possible in comic books."
"Too bad such people can only have a real life in comic books." Jasmine moaned.
"What does that mean?" Hoji didn't understand her.
"Isn't that... what's the word..." Wells tried to explain to Hoji, "Anyway, you really can't understand? Even for an alienizer this kid's unique."
"He's right." Jasmine agreed, "He will never fit in anywhere."
For once, Ban had nothing to say to this.
