A/N: Hoopla everyone! I'm so happy to see everyone is still enjoying this story! I know the idea's may seem a little far fetched but then again so did the whole idea of a Transvestite alien from Transexual Transylvania when it first began. Any way from here out I'll be calling Laura Columbia or Collie, for example instead of saying "Laura rolled her eyes at Frank" it will now be "Columbia rolled her eyes at Frank". Okay now that everyone is informed of that let's get on with the show shall we?
-IV-
"She needs to completely forget, she needs to stop remembering, her mind needs to be completely erased of old memories."
Magenta's brows knitted together a little concerned and confused.
"How can we force her to forget her old life? If she is fighting it now what says she will stop fighting it?"
Riff looked into his sister's eyes gently stroking her cheek.
"We will have to be sure she forgets it, tamper with her memory cortex or as human's call it her Limbic System and force her to forget the past."
Magenta shuddered thinking about all the possibilities that could go wrong and the consequences they'd face.
"What if we let her remember?"
Riff shook his head his fingers pausing on her jaw.
"If we allow her to remember the past life it will rip the Transylvanian DNA right out of her system, it would destroy first mentally then physically and that is assuming she'd survive the separation."
Magenta shook her head before taking a breath as she kissed her brother's palm.
"Then it seems we have no choice, but if Frank finds any damage on his new playmate he will know the experiment was in danger of failing."
Riff placed a light kiss to her forehead before taking her hand and starting to walk back to her room.
"I've already thought of a way around that darling, just leave it to me if Frank finds out I do not want you in harm's way."
Magenta began to protest as they reached her door but was quickly silenced as Riff kissed her until her argument melted away and she only nodded. After moving the passed out Laura from the bedroom down to the lab Riff placed her on the exam table once more before beginning his work while Magenta kept a lookout for Frank by the lift. Hours later when Laura woke up she found herself in the lab once more leaving her confused as she looked around before sitting up.
As she sat up she found Magenta standing close by mopping the floor not noticing her awake.
"Hey Magenta why am I in the lab again?"
Magenta looked up upon hearing the girl's high pitched voice before looking over her shoulder as Riff walked up to the table looking the girl over carefully.
"What is your name?"
Laura raised an eyebrow at him but answered regardless.
"Columbia."
Riff nodded examining something on her forehead.
"How old are you?"
Columbia crossed her legs looking at her nails thinking they could use new paint since her bright orange had almost completely peeled off.
"Twenty."
Riff nodded again walking away from her to where a desk in the corner where he picked up a few papers and looked them over.
"Where did you meet Frank?"
Columbia looked up at him and just stared for a long moment making him worry he'd messed up the procedure.
"I was busking on a street corner in town and one day he came along and picked me and brought me here. Are you done with these ridiculous questions?"
Riff looked at the papers again before walking back to the table looking her in the eyes.
"Do you remember who Laura McCall is?"
Columbia thought for a moment then shook her head.
"Nope, should I?"
Riff looked at Magenta with a slight smile as she stepped up to his side and looked at Columbia.
"Not at all, now should we go and finish getting you ready for the master?"
Columbia looked at Magenta and gave a wide smile hopping off the table.
"Totally! Think we could add a little more color though? I feel kinda drab with this eye makeup."
Magenta rolled her eyes looking at her brother who gave a shrug watching them leave. After fixing Columbia's makeup, being sure to cover the barely visible scar from her procedure, Magenta escorted her to Frank's room letting her in before going back to her room smiling as she found her brother waiting for her.
May 20, 1973. After nearly a full year Laura McCall had been completely forgotten by herself and in her place was Columbia, groupie and sex partner to Dr. Frank N Furter. Over the course of that year she became best friends, some times lovers, with Magenta and even though he acted cold to her and like he didn't care she befriended Riff Raff as well, just enough he didn't want to kill her if only for his sister's sake, over the time other secrets became unwrapped to her such as the fact that Frank and the siblings were aliens but a far cry from any science fiction movie creatures from outer space as one could imagine.
Being confined to the castle wasn't always bad, she always had helping Magenta clean or cook to keep her occupied for a short time or her tap dancing or on some occasions distracting Frank from his "work" in the lab, which in this case meant his sitting behind a desk ordering Riff around like a trained monkey, but every once in awhile she'd long to go outside the rod iron gates like Riff and Magenta did when they needed things like food or other supplies.
It was a dreary May morning and Columbia was walking around the castle completely out of her normal bubbly self. Riff and Magenta had noticed her mood and Magenta did what she could stand to try and make the groupie happy yet it did little to help, the servants weren't the only ones to take notice of her behavior Frank clearly had taken notice that she was less engaged when they would have their little sessions and it was beginning to trouble him and him being trouble made his temper short and dangerous.
Finally he snapped asking her what exactly was the matter with her but all she could do was shrug and look at the floor. Growing impatient Frank grabbed her by the chin so she had no choice but to look at him.
"I will ask one more time before my patients are used up and I'll make you suffer, what has gotten into you?"
Columbia looked back at him a look of fear in her brown eyes, sure Frank made threats when he was in a foul mood but he never acted on them towards her the most she would catch was a night of particularly rough sex, before she shakily spoke.
"I-I feel trapped in here, like a caged bird. I just wanna get out of the grounds for a little while Frankie please? You can trust me not to run off or do anything stupid just let me leave for a little while."
Frank held her eyes for a long moment before he let her go turn away from her.
"Fine go along with Magenta when she leaves for town, but I don't want any trouble otherwise you'll never see the outside again understood?"
Columbia smiled hugely with a squeal as she quickly hugged his waist and stood on tiptoe to kiss the spot just above his ear.
"Thank you Frankie!"
With that she quickly left the lab in search of Magneta. After searching all the normal places the domestic could be found cleaning or hiding with no result Columbia decided to check their shared bedroom, the room that had been solely Magenta's when she'd first arrived, thinking maybe she was hiding herself away from Frank's temper tantrums. As she made her way to the bedroom she paused hearing sounds from inside, pressing her ear to the closed door they sounded like moans and the slight squeaking of bedsprings. Columbia's brows knitted together as she tried to think of anyone else in the house besides Frank, herself and the siblings but came up empty then smirked thinking Magenta had snuck in a secret lover.
With very little thought Columbia turned the door handle and opened the door her eyes going to Magenta's four poster bed and widening as her blood ran cold and her jaw dropped. What she'd stumbled upon was what it sounded like, Magenta was pinned to the bed under a guy looking to be in a state of pure bliss, but it was no mystery guy a long ways from it truthfully because it was her own brother. Columbia felt her stomach twist into a knot as she tried to move away from the doorway but found herself frozen, evidently she'd made some kind of sound she hadn't heard because all at once Magenta swore loudly and pushed Riff's shoulders making him stop and look confused until he followed her eyes to the frozen groupie giving a curse of his own removing himself from his sister.
As if coming to her senses Columbia blushed like mad and apologized under her breath before running from the doorway slamming the door behind her. With the image still burned into her head Columbia paid little mind to where she was going until she found herself in the ballroom, she looked around before sitting in Frank's throne trying to shake the image off with little success. After a few minutes she decided to distract herself by practicing her dancing and so she turned on the jukebox to a random song and began tapping to it.
After about 10 minutes the ballroom door opened and Magenta stepped in looking around until her eyes landed on her friend tapping away to the song playing. Slowly she went to the jukebox and switched it off making Columbia nearly fall over as she stopped mid step to look at the cause for the music stopping, her eyes met Magenta's for a moment before she blushed and moved to sit in the throne taking off her tap shoes and rubbing her feet.
"Collie, look at me please."
For a moment Columbia kept her eyes down before lifting them and looking into the emerald green pools she'd grown to know so well. Magenta sighed and walked over to her friend sitting on the step in front of the throne.
"Listen Collie I know you saw and I know what you're going to say but before you say it I want you to know it doesn't matter because I love Riff more than anything despite knowing he's my brother and he loves me too. We've known for a long time that this relationship isn't normal or even morally right to some people but to us it's everything."
Columbia took in the words watching her friend for a long minute before she smiled making Magenta look confused which in turn made Columbia giggle.
"You honestly think I care that you're fucking your brother? Really I couldn't care less about that."
Magenta raised an eyebrow at her still confused.
"But then why did you run away like that?"
Columbia blushed again but still smiled.
"Because at first I thought you were hiding some secret guy from me but when I found it was Riff I felt like I was introducing because you two don't get a lot of time together because of Frank so I didn't want to be a bother, I mean of course I was shocked too but after that I realized it didn't really matter because you're happy so who cares that he's your brother?"
Magenta only stared at her for a moment before to the groupie's surprise she grabbed her in a tight hug kissing her cheek.
"Thank you Collie."
Columbia blinked confused but hugged back.
"For what Genta?"
The domestic released her from the hug smiling a real smile, something she rarely did for anyone besides Riff.
"For being the first person to not hate me after finding out I'm in love with Riff, for not calling us sick freaks, for being the weirdest human I know."
Columbia laughed putting their foreheads together.
"I'm the only human you know but you're still welcome."
Magenta rolled her eyes but kissed the groupie's forehead before getting to her feet walking a few steps away then pausing looking back at her expectantly.
"Are you going to give me a hand with dinner or just sit there all day?"
Columbia smiled pulling her shoes back on and following Magenta to the kitchen. The rest of the afternoon the pair made dinner and Columbia listened as Magenta told her the story of how she and Riff learned they loved each other, about halfway through Magenta stopped and cursed under her breath looking at the clock.
"What's wrong?"
Columbia followed her with her eyes as she moved about the kitchen turning everything off including the oven where dinner was cooking.
"I forgot to go into town and get supplies, if I leave things going while I am out they will burn and dinner will be ruined, Frank won't be happy but dinner will be late."
Columbia followed Magenta to the entrance hall.
"Maybe I can come with, there should be a place to get something to eat in town, we can just pick something up."
Magenta looked a little weary of the idea but as the coffin clock rolled out 5 in the afternoon she sighed and nodded leading Columbia out to the old pickup truck. The drive into town took almost 20 minutes but it seemed like a whole different world to Columbia as she looked around, things seemed familiar to her shops and buildings she'd seen while busking for coins. Magenta led her into a grocery store where they quickly picked up the thing a they needed, and then some, before Columbia had to help her with the money seeing as Riff normally dealt with that part.
As they were walking back to the truck a smell caught Columbia's nose and made her smile and start following it making Magenta growl.
"Where are you going? If we don't get back soon dinner won't be ready until nine o'clock."
Columbia rolled her eyes then smiled as they found themselves in front of a pizza place. The sign above the door said "The Pizza Shack" tickling a memory in Columbia's mind that she shook off.
"Why don't we just get a couple pizzas and take them back? You know Frankie likes trying new human things."
Magenta looked at the shop wearily but followed the groupie inside. She watched as Columbia went to the counter and waited for the dark haired guy to turn around from talking to the people in the kitchen as she looked over the menu on the wall. After a minute one of the guys in the kitchen nudged his friend hiding a laugh poorly with his hand, seeing the guys laughing the dark haired one turned around to see what was so funny but as his eyes met Columbia's his jaw dropped a little.
Columbia looked over the guy before her, he was handsome almost in a cute way, his black hair was in a messy style that vaguely reminded her of Elvis, his blue eyes looked her over taking in her off the wall outfit, he was wearing a home made band t-shirt, ripped up blue jeans and well worn boots. Finally his eyes met her's and as he looked into them his brows creased, something was familiar about this girl's eyes he just couldn't place it.
Columbia smiled seeing she was getting a reaction from at least the pair in the back and leaned her elbows on the counter showing off her cleavage making the guy in front of her flush a little but avert his eyes as he cleared his throat.
"What can I get for you two babes?"
Magenta rolled her eyes and slunk off to the closest table sitting down and crossing her arms while Columbia gave a sweet smile licking her lips.
"Hmm two pizzas one pepperoni and one cheese."
She smirked her eyes dragging down the guys front making his flush worse before he shook his head meeting her eyes again.
"D-do I know you?"
Columbia seemed to sober up a little as she cocked her head to the side looking him over carefully.
"I don't think so, should I?"
The guy listened carefully to her voice managing to ignore the squeaking of it before his eyes widened a little as the girl's pink hair was replaced by a long brown ponytail, her makeup was toned down to just lipstick and a little blush and her outfit was covered by a jade green coat.
"It's you, Columbia right?"
Columbia looked surprised this guy knew her name and it showed as she stood straight her brows knitting together.
"How do you know my name? Are you some kinda creeper?"
The guy shook his head, he knew that tone despite only having heard it once before a year ago.
"No, my names Eddie I used to be a bouncer at The Red Lounge. You were a dancer there not even a year ago."
Columbia looked even more confused as she tried to remember what he was saying but found nothing except a fuzzy memory of a guy that looked like Eddie telling her she needed to go in the front and have her ID checked. She shook away the memory as her head began to hurt before looking at Eddie.
"I think you've got me confused with someone else, make that order a delivery. The castle at the end of the right fork of the road leading out of town, can't miss it."
Before she was even finished speaking she walked to the door gesturing for Magenta to follow her, which the domestic did thankful to be getting out of the place. As they left Columbia looked back once more at Eddie before shaking her head following Magenta to the truck. Once in the truck Columbia looked over at Magenta her brows knitting together as the image Eddie's words had conquered came into her head again making her head throb duly.
"Genta did Frank really find me busking on the street?"
Magenta kept her eyes on the road thinking carefully over her answer.
"Yes, you know he did why would you question an answer you know?"
Columbia shrugged placing her palm to her head closing her eyes.
"I don't know it's just somethin' that Eddie guy said brought up some kinda fuzzy picture in my head."
Magenta glanced at her worry in her eyes but she hid it well in her voice.
"What kind of picture?"
Columbia scrunched up her nose forcing herself to think of the image again.
"I'm at the back door of some kind of club and a kid that looks a lot like Eddie blocks my way in and tells me I need to go in the front and have my ID checked...I told him I worked there and that he was going to make me late."
Magenta swallowed dryly trying to think quickly.
"Oh it's probably nothing, must be an old memory from before Frank found you. Don't think on it too much it'll make your head hurt worse."
Columbia sighed and forced the image away and her headache dulled considerably as she opened her eyes smiling faintly.
"He was cute though wasn't he?"
Magenta raised her eyebrow glancing at her again a smile playing on her lips.
"Who the pizza boy or the one you're little mind made up?"
Columbia gasped and feigned hurt but smiled all the same.
"My brain is not small, I just don't use it like I should, and anyway I mean Eddie. He had a kinda naive charm about him, and he wasn't bad looking either."
Magenta rolled her eyes.
"I suppose for a human he wasn't all that bad looking. Just don't let Frank hear you talk that way about him, you know how he gets."
Columbia's smile fades as she shuddered looking out the window as they neared the castle.
"Genta?"
Magenta made a humming sound for her to continue as they turned down the right hand fork in the road.
"Is there something wrong with me? I don't feel myself lately, I thought it was just being cooped up in the castle but I still feel like something isn't right with me."
Magenta's foot slipped off the gas pedal making the truck lurch to a stop jolting them both roughly and Columbia turn to look at her scared.
"What the hell did ya do that for?!"
Magenta blinked shaking away her thoughts as she looked at the outraged groupie.
"Sorry I didn't mean to, my foot slipped it's hard driving in heels."
Columbia held her eyes for a moment before shaking her head and looking back out the window.
"We should get back before Frankie gets mad."
Magenta nodded looking back at the road and starting to drive again. Once they arrived back at the castle they carried in the groceries and Magenta hurried off to find her brother leaving Columbia to wait for the pizza's to be delivered somewhere on the first floor. Magenta found her brother alone in the lab, thankfully, and walked to his side looking over his shoulder at the plans he was looking over, they looked like blueprints to build a person but a little more detailed being in Transylvanian text.
Riff sensed his sister reading over his shoulder and sighed setting the plans on the desk before pulling her into his lap resting his chin on her shoulder closing his eyes.
"Frank's plans for his newest experiment, creating life itself of course he's not doing a scrap of the work."
Magenta looked down at her brother and felt her heart melt a little temporarily forgetting her urgency to find him as she took in how tired he looked leaning on her shoulder. She gently stroked his hair resting her cheek on his head.
"Of course not the spoiled bastard never does any work. You came on this mission nearly two years ago as his partner now he's made us slaves."
Riff gave only a mumbled answer she couldn't understand making her smile a little realizing he was falling asleep on her. She closed her eyes letting out a small sigh before she remembered why she'd come to find him in the first place.
"Riffy."
Riff gave a half audible hum barely clutching onto consciousness. Magenta felt bad telling him when he was already exhausted from being forced to work almost nonstop for Frank but what she was concerned about could spell far worse trouble for them if she was right.
"I'm concerned about the human again, she's remembering again not much just a little thing I managed to make her believe was just a memory from before Frank found her, but she said something that worries me."
Riff's eyes opened and he sat up straight looking her in the eyes waiting for her to continue as she bit her lip.
"Can her DNA bonding with Transylvanian DNA make it possible for her to…."
She paused unsure how to put her thoughts into words before she closed her eyes and forced them out.
"To spawn with Frank?"
Riff looked at her for a long moment almost as if he didn't understand until what little color was in his face drained away and he suddenly looked worried.
"I hadn't thought of that even being a consequence, human females aren't naturally capable of carrying a Transylvanian child to full term it's too much strain on their bodies but with that potion fusing her DNA it may have made it possible."
He gently coaxed her off his lap before he got up and moved around the room looking through papers until he found the ones he was looking for quickly scanning through them.
"Right here, the mixture of mature Transylvanian DNA and her own DNA could make it at the very least possible for her to become pregnant from Frank."
Magenta bit her lip walking to his side looking at the papers, on their planet women were considered mature as early as the age of 17 because of their base sexual dependency and the peak of a woman's fertility came anywhere between the age of 18-22.
"In order for the experiment to have a high rate of success the mixture needed to have the DNA extraction of a woman at least a year older than the human girl, she was 19 and so she was given an extraction of DNA from a 20 year old, the closeness to the end of a peaking fertility cycle in both species could very well have opened a window of extremely high fertility."
Magenta moved away from her brother and began pacing worried for more than the things wrong with this situation, if Frank's mother the queen of Transexual discovered her son had not only done illegal experimentation on a non Transylvanian but also managed to father a child with said experiment one could guarantee things would not end well for anyone with knowledge of the events, but also the fact that her only friend was at risk of being put through living hell. There was a reason mixing human DNA with their own DNA was illegal and that was because in mixing the two and increasing the fertility in a human woman it yielded from results. A typical Transylvanian pregnancy lasted only 3 short months so native women had naturally adapted to survive baring a rapidly growing child but human women rarely made it farther than the first month because the rapid growth took to much of a physical toll on their bodies.
Riff seen his sister pacing and set the papers down before going to her grabbing her by the waist and pulling her close to him holding her tight. He may not have personally cared very much for the human but he cared enough to not want her to die or suffer through the hell of Transylvanian pregnancy lest she die and his sister lose the only real friend she'd ever had. Magenta hid her face in his chest closing her eyes slowly relaxing as she listened to his heartbeat letting him hold her together like he always had when she started to break and her fight vanished.
After making sure his sister was alright Riff tilted her chin up so their eyes met, her's worried and shining with threatening tears and his solid and reassuring.
"It will be alright darling sister, find a way to bring her back here as soon as you can and I will examine her to be sure that's not what's happened."
Magenta nodded standing up on tiptoe and kissing his lips lightly before pulling away just enough their noses were touching.
"And what if it has happened?"
Riff watched her eyes for a long moment carefully choosing his answer.
"If it's the case it will be taken care of quickly and painlessly, she'll never know."
Magenta took a deep breath calming herself before kissing him again purring as he kissed back squeezing her waist until she broke away looking up at him with a small smile.
"You go and get some rest, you're dead on your feet brother. I don't care what Frank says you need to sleep, I don't want you passing out from exhaustion."
Riff chuckled pecking her lips again before letting her go to the lift watching her until she was out of sight. Magenta took the lift back to the first floor before she began looking around for the groupie finding her in the ballroom, but rather than tapping her heart out like she normally would she was instead sitting in the middle of the floor just staring blankly at the throne across the room from her. Brows knitting together Magenta walked to her side and silently sat down beside her looking at the throne before looking back at the groupie.
"Something fascinating about the chair today?"
Columbia jumped nearly a foot in the air turning to look at the domestic beside her holding her heart.
"My god Mags don't do that to me! Nearly gave me a damn heart attack!"
Magenta raised her eyebrow at the use of a different nickname but said nothing about it as she smiled slightly.
"Sorry I didn't intend to scare you, just wondered why you're sitting here staring off into space."
Columbia relaxed returning to sitting normal looking back at the throne pulling her knees to her chest.
"Just thinking is all, I think I'm having identity issues."
Magenta looked at her raising an eyebrow waiting for her to elaborate but evidently she didn't get the hint.
"Identity issues?"
Columbia looked at her out of the corner of her eye before giving a small smile remembering her friend wasn't human.
"Yeah, it means I'm not exactly sure who I am. I know my name and everything but it doesn't feel right to me, it feels like I'm someone else just living as this person."
Magenta took in her words and felt her stomach knot a little, if her friend wasn't pregnant with a half alien baby then she was certainly beginning to fight the implanted DNA again either scenario was not a good thing. Thankfully before she could try and say something the doorbell rang through the castle and Columbia perked up smiling.
"I bet that's the pizzas! I wonder if Eddie was the delivery boy?"
Magenta rolled her eyes as the groupie jumped up and nearly ran to the door, shaking her head she followed after reaching the door just as Columbia opened it her smile widening as she found it was indeed Eddie dropping of off the food. Eddie looked down at the smiling groupie and felt his cheeks flush a little, for some reason he couldn't control himself around this weird girl despite the fact he could swear he'd been right when he said she used to work at The Red Lounge club.
"H-here's the pizzas you ordered, sorry it took so long to get here my bike was having trouble getting over the road, got a flat tire not far down the road really."
Columbia's smile turned into a slight smirk as she looked at Magenta who crossed her arms but smirked as well, at least the hidden spikes they'd placed in the road worked on keeping people out most of the time. Looking back at Eddie Columbia took the pizzas in one hand before reaching into her pocket to pay him but he stopped her shaking his head.
"No charge, do you guys got a phone I can use to call one of my buddies to come and give me a ride back?"
Magenta took the pizzas from Columbia deciding to let the girl handle this herself. Once Magenta was gone Columbia smiled leading Eddie into the entrance hall.
"Sure we do but couldn't you stay for awhile? Maybe have a slice of pizza and a little fun?"
She took a step closer to him looking up at him through her lashes giggling a little when he flushed unable to break their shared gaze as he stumbled over his words.
"I-I guess I could stay for a-a little while."
Columbia clapped excitedly with another giggle before she lead him to the kitchen where Magenta was looking at the pizza boxes like she'd rather do anything then open them. Columbia sighed going to her side gently nudging her away.
"Get the plates and stuff I'll dish out the food."
Magenta gave a small happy smile before going to get the plates from the dining room. She brought them back and watched as Columbia put one slice of each pizza onto the plates before helping carry them back out, they had just put the last plate down when Magenta gave a surprised squeak feeling arms wrap around her waist making Columbia laugh. Magenta looked over her shoulder and relaxed seeing it was only Riff before she pouted lightly smacking his shoulder.
"Don't do that to me, nearly pissed myself."
That sent everyone in the room, including Riff, into fits of laughter preventing them from hearing the lift stop or the sound of heels clicking against the floor. No one knew Frank had entered the room until he put his hands on his hips and cleared his throat loudly making them all stop laughing at once and look at him, Riff letting go of his sister at once taking a step away ready to slink away from the room at the slightest command of returning to the lab.
Frank's green eyes looked around the room at each person before coming to a stop on Eddie who's eyes were slightly wide and his mouth slightly open at the sight of the other man's attire. Smiling almost wickedly Frank strutted, yes strutted, into the room and right up to Eddie looking him over from head to toe.
"Well hello handsome."
Eddie squirmed a little under the transvestite's gaze and Columbia gave a slight growl though she wasn't exactly sure which she was more jealous of, her Frank flirting with this guy or Eddie's reactions to Frank's gaze.
"Hey, sorry to crash the party but my bike got a flat down the road and I was just looking for a phone to call one of my friends to come and give me a lift back to town."
Frank nodded not really listening before he smirked.
"Tell me what is your name?"
Eddie became a little nervous feeling like Frank was mentally undressing him.
"Eddie Scott, and you are?"
Frank's smile fell for a second surprised by how well this boy was able to hide his nervousness in his voice before he smiled seductively.
"I'm Dr. Frank N. Furter. Tell me Eddie, do you have any tattoos?"
Columbia felt her cheeks go red, she knew that line Frank normally asked it as a form of pick up line, Magenta seen the groupie getting hot under the collar and moved to her side whispering in her ear.
"Easy Collie, it's just like the others he'll be through by morning then Frank will return to you."
Columbia looked at her her anger split between being angry with both guys before she slowly calmed down nodding looking back just in time to see Frank give a wicked grin at Eddie's answer and invite him to the lab.
