Mike was pissed. When he got to the Pizzeria, he took Trevor to the office and glared down at the child. "What the hell did you do to me?! I can understand things I couldn't before! I want to get speed, and I knew what electro-mag suspension is! Fuck, I was trying to put electromagnetic suspension on a bike!"
"That's what the Mind Bugs do! They make you smarter!" Trevor grinned. He didn't understand why Mike was so angry. He thought he was doing something good.
"What the fuck?! You knew what they did?! You little shit!" Mike snapped angrily. "Fuck! What am I supposed to do?!" He groaned softly, collapsing in his chair.
Trevor looked upset. "I didn't . . . think it would be bad for you . . . I'm sorry . . ." He looked at Mike, about to cry.
"Wait, don't cry, I'll be fine. I'm just . . . adjusting," Mike said, sighing softly.
"Well I like what the Mind bugs did." Vincent grinned happily, walking in. "My living room is . . . colorful because of the chemistry set I set up in my room." Vincent grinned; his uniform had a few stains from a small explosion he had made from the chemicals.
"Wait, so that's what changed me?" Scott asked, walking into the room. He ignored his grinning purple coworker as he went to stand by Mike, only for his eyebrows to raise at the purple man's messy clothing. "What the hell happened to you? Wait, never mind, I don't want to know." Scott sighed, shaking his head.
Then, Alex walked in. It wouldn't have been a big deal, if he wasn't carrying a fucking huge ass dinosaur fossil, and was covered in dirt and filth. "Hey guys!" Alex grinned, proud of his find.
"Where the fuck did you get that?!" Mike asked in shock, ignoring his friend's greeting.
"Oh uh . . . downtown," Alex said and grinned nervously.
"Wait, isn't that where the museu-"
"Shhhhh . . ." Alex said, shutting his coworker up.
Scott ignored the fact Alex obviously stole something and turned to him. "What even is it?"
"It's a Pterodactyl, duh. You should obviously be able to tell by the shape," and Alex began listing the features of a Pterodactyl, making Scott facepalm. Did he seriously not notice the change in intelligence?
"Alex."
"Yes?"
"You're fucking stupid."
Now all of the guards were in the office, and Trevor explained what the Mind Bugs did to them, in detail. He also gave his reasoning. He wanted to test them, but the only people in the room were the guards, so he tested the bugs on them. The guards were pissed, but the higher intelligence was something that they liked.
"If you weren't a kid, you would be punched right now," Mike muttered angrily. Alex, who was sitting next to him, nodded in agreement.
"Well . . . now you won't be stuck as guards!" Trevor protested, failing at defending himself.
"Kid, for someone so smart, you suck at making arguments," Mike grumbled, standing up to get going for the night.
