Kryptonite [Mark Sloan]

6. (s2e2)

Veronica enters Meredith's house at 6 in the morning. Izzie had called sounding tired, waking her up, telling her to get her ass here to handle Meredith and Christina who were both whining. She also had like 10 missed calls each from both of them.

"what the fuck" she mutters to herself taking in the sight of the bathroom. Meredith was hunched over the toilet looking hungover and Christina was lying in the shower looking depressed. Izzie and George were brushing their teeth looking at them in concern.

They were also the only ones who notice her as Meredith and Christina continue their ranting.

"Look, the problem is estrogen." Christina complains

" No, the problem is tequila." Meredith argues back

" I used to be all business, and then he goes and gets me pregnant." Christina ignores her.

"With the stupid boy penis" Meredith adds.

"Now, I'm having hormone surges. He ruined me. I'm ruined. He turned me into this fat, stupid, pregnant girl. Who cares! Estrogen!" Christina completes, closing the shower door shut again.

"Penises Vee! Penises" Meredith says finally noticing Vee

On hearing the name Christina opens the door again. "VEE! Its estrogen. the problem is estrogen." as she takes a glass of water Izzie had just poured for her.

"I came home to full on vomit drama. Apparently she dumped Derek and she's been sleeping with Burke!" Izzie explains scandalized.

"I knew that" George says

Vee nods my head. "yeah I saw them together" making Izzie look at them both.

Shaking her head Veronica stomps over to Meredith pulling her up and opening the shower door making Christina stand up. She shoves Meredith inside and opens the shower on both of them.

This caused the girls to shriek as their clothes got wet but Veronica ignores them.

"Alright that's enough. Snap out of it." Vee yells at them as both of them try giving the puppy dog eyes. "No don't. Don't do that. It won't work on me." she tells them. "You wanna know something? Derek is an ass and Burke is an ass. They are both asses. But we are professionals ok? We are surgeons. We are hardcore. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. It's pathetic. So snap out of it, get ready and lets go to work. They might be our bosses but so what? Let's show them we don't need them and their penises." Vee says as she hands them both a towel.

"why are you so peppy?" Christina asks frowning at her.

"You had sex didn't you?" Meredith accuses pointing at her.

Veronica huffs shutting the lid of the toilet and sitting on it. "Yes alright. I know. I know I am a whore. I am a big whore. But you know what I don't give a fuck anymore. I don't mind being a whore. I get amazing sex without all this bullshit." she says pointing at the two dripping wet interns making them narrow their eyes at her.

"Come on. Get ready. We will leave in 10 mins. I am making breakfast." Veronica tells them walking out before they could protest.

Veronica was walking down a hallway looking at her patient, Mr Hubble's charts who had ingested 10 Judy doll heads. She had just gotten a psych consult for him.

"Veronica?" A voice calls out, making Veronica come to a sudden stop. A voice that was familiar though she hadn't heard it in years.

Closing her eyes for a second, Veronica turns around to look at the person who had called her. She still looked the same , though older. They were more wrinkles on her face and her smile looked a little dim.

"Adele" Veronica smiles as she walks towards her.

While Veronica was examining her, Adele also took the time to look at the girl. She looked almost the same as before though now she was thinner. But it was her eyes that had changed. They held less light, and were more serious.

Adele pulls her in a tight hug which makes Vee smile bittersweet.

Pulling back, Veronica looks at her again. "You must be here for Richard."

"Of course" Adele says as Veronica walks with her to Richards room.

"Will you believe me if it I told you I dint know about his surgery either till until it was already done.?" Veronica asks looking at Adele.

"Of course you didn't." Adele rolls her eyes. "Richard knows you would have called me." she says looking at her husband frustrated.

"I didn't want to ruin your vacation." Richard calls out from the bed. "Besides she didn't call you Derek did." he adds on hoping to get his wife's anger directed on someone else.

"Who do you think gave him the idea?" Veronica asks looking at Richard smirking.

Adele looks at her smugly as Richard looks betrayed.

"You do know I am the chief right?" He asks looking at the intern.

"Not right now you are not. Right now Burke is the chief."

"Interim chief" He reminds her.

"whatever" she shrugs leaning on the doorway as Adele sits down in a chair.

Just then her pager beep sand she looks to see its Bailey probably calling for the surgery.

Sighing she stand up straight, going over to Richard and hugging him. "Take care alright? And take it easy." she reminds him.

Going to Adele she hugs her for a moment before kissing her cheek, "It was good to see you." Adele tells her softly.

"You too. "Veronica smiles

"I have to go." Veronica says as she walks out.

Adele and her husband look at her to go squeezing each others hand for comfort.

Later that day, Veronica had gone into surgery with Bailey and the other interns and they had removed all the Judy doll heads. Now, Veronica was at home watching a movie when Alex comes in and plops down next to her.

"Hey." she whispers not removing her eyes from the movie.

"Hey" he whispers as he takes a beer from his hand and take a swig from it.

They both just sit there in silence not saying anything else as they watch the movie.
