"Hey Renee."

"Yes?"

"Are you a lesbian?"

"Wha-!"

She looked shocked and offended all at the same time as well as embarrassed. This was at lunchtime with all the legends, but no one seemed to hear us.

"Why are you asking me that?" She blushed and looked down at her food.

"You kissed me."

"What!"

Now, all the legends were looking at us.

"You-"

"Shut up!"

She looked at me angrily and stormed off.

I looked back at the fellow legends looking at me.

"Don't look at me. I don't know what I did."

They all went back to talking but rather quietly now.

"She is."

I looked at Wattson.

"She is?"

"Yes, she is."

"How do you know?"

"She told me one time when she was drunk."

"Does anyone else know?"

"No."

"What else has she said when she was drunk?"

"She thinks you're very cute, and your personality to be blunt and straightforward attracts her to you. The voices in her head also tell her to marry you."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"I think you two would make a good couple."

"... thank you."

"No problem."

"What's your name?" I ask.

"Natalie."

"... I like your name."

"Thank you." She said that with blush dusting her cheeks.

I give her the rest of my food.

"You deserve it."

I get up and return to my floor.

I knocked on Renee's door.

"Renee."

...

"Renee."

...

"Renee."

"What!" She swinged the door open to us being quiet close to each other.

"I wanted to say that you were drunk when you kissed me, so it doesn't matter."

"Doesn't matter!?" She looked really angry. "Kissing you meant everything!"

She slammed the door in my face.

...

"Renee, open the door... please." My voice broke a little on my last word.

I was scared to lose the one person I was super close to. I hate to admit she gives me a reason to live. After all I've been through to figure out a way to die, this girl comes into my life and tears it all down, and now I might lose her.

Some tears flow down my face.

"Please let me in." My voice now was fully affected by my crying.

The door opens slowly to reveal she is crying, too. She seemed sad to see me cry more than anything.

She had one arm holding the other, and I had mine behind me back.

"The doors open."

I step forward and embrace her smaller frame, and she embraces me back.

I rest my head in the nook of her head and shoulder.

"I couldn't live without you, Renee."

'Is this love?... If I love someone, doesn't that mean I can't live without them.'

She gasps and looks up at me with those dreamy white blue eyes.

"You couldn't?"

"No... I need you."

Our faces were already close enough to feel the breathing in eachothers lips, but I was first to act and kiss her. Her soft lips kissed back and held me tighter.

*ding*

The elevator dinged upon arrival, and we separated immediately.

We stared at each other with blush and suprise on our faces.

I looked at the elevator to see Caustic.

"Blake, I have a question about your healing gas."

I don't think he could see it was a bad time, but I answered it anyway.

"What's the question?"

"What's the process you use to produce your gas?"

"I'll have to show you... here, unlock my door." I give him my keys, and he turns behind me to unlock my room.

I look back at Renee, who seems uncomfortable.

'I hope me kissing her didn't ruin our relationship.'

I tried to turn away, but she grabbed my hand.

"Why don't. You come by my room tonight. We can watch a movie."

"Uh... yeah, sure."

"Ok. See you then."

She closed the door and I turned to my room and entered.

'Holy shit.'

I walk to this plain looking box, but after I place my index finger on a specific spot, a glass cylinder arises, and it has this green and pink plant inside it.

"I use this plant to activate the healing process in the body. It doesn't use up energy to heal or invade the immunity system it just hyper activates the body to rejuvenate."

"Fascinating." He said. "Can you show me how?"

"Sure."

I put on some gloves and got out my concoctions from a suitcase I had under my bed.

In the vials are organic acids that invade the skin and tear it apart.

First, I chop a tiny leaf off the plant and start melting it in its own vial. Then, with the organic acid, I add a fluid ounce of this gas that reverse congeals it into a controllable vapor. Finally, a melted leaf of my plant is bright pink. I just added 2 drops, and my formula is complete.

"And that's what I use in the games."

"What if you wanted to make it more effective?"

"Then I would add more drops. But the Syndicate doesn't allow me to go higher than 2 drops right now."

"Yeah, I understand. Thank you for showing me this."

"No problem, Caustic."

"Please. Call me Alexander."

"Ok. Call me Blake."

We shook hands and left. I sigh.

'I guess now I have to make more healing grenades now that I've started.'

After doing that, I check the time.

'I'd say it's time to watch a movie.'
