Office Hours, 11/13

[tyler_gone]

Tyler's office hours today could be divided into three parts.

There was the morning, when he actually did his work and only occasionally glanced over at the Tony-pony napping on his office couch. (He'd told the pony that his hooves would ruin the upholstery. Tony's glare in response somehow managed to communicate he'd pay for it. Also that Tyler was ridiculous and very, very feminine for saying the word "upholstery.")

Then there was the really fun part when he tried to brush the pony and wrangle him out of the office to meet Steve. He got bitten on his thumb. Pony teeth hurt.

Then, in late afternoon, there was the odd feeling of not having a pony in his office anymore ... and sort of missing him.

[Open door, open office.]

"Well, I figure it lets me better know myself for when I need to fight or... do anything really," Jennifer said. "This isn't some alter-ego. It's me."

"It's not a mask, it's your face." Tyler was almost a little jealous.

"My extra strong, extra sexy and extra green face," Jennifer said. "I think it works great."

"Certainly stands out," Tyler said. "So what inspired this experimentation?"

"Well, the fact I can control it now, mainly," Jennifer said. "It makes it less about anger and more about me."

[tyler_gone]

"But how did you find out you could control it?"

"Oh, that's a side effect of the serum Dr. Morbius gave me," Jennifer said. "Kind of a long story."

"I have time, but you don't have to go into it if you don'; want to," Tyler said. "Seems like it makes you happy, anyhow."

"Well, how it happened wasn't happy," Jennifer said. "It was actually really scary. There was something wrong with my blood."

"Oh?" Tyler raised an eyebrow.

"I changed, when I was home," Jennifer said. "And I... well, it hurt. It hurt more than when I got shot. It was the scariest thing I've ever felt and I thought I might die."

"And then the doctor gave you the shot?"

"I wish it was that simple," Jennifer said. "I sort of... passed out, and my dad arrested me. Not that he knew it was me. I had to break out of the cell they put me in and find someone who could help me. Doctor Morbius was being held at UCLA awaiting a trial, but he seemed like my best bet."
