"Okay so lemme get this straight. You brought us here after the storm, locked us in a room, operated on us to implant a bunch of sciency stuff, told us we were severely injured, starved us and deprived us of water and decent hygiene, bring us to a giant underground society, have us join your little 'experiment' and expect us to go back to our lives like none of this happened, and on top of that we can't tell anyone this happened?!?" Jasmine yelled looking between the doctor and the boy.
"Pretty much." The boy responded. Aiden, who was lounging on a couch behind Jasmine sipping a strawberry kiwi smoothie, raised his drink in applause as he swallowed.
"Sign me up!" Aiden said, taking another sip from his smoothie.
"Gimme that!" Jasmine snapped, snatching the smoothie out of his mouth and walking over to the trash can.
"Hey, I was gonna drink that!" Aiden yelled as Jasmine dropped the smoothie in the trash and setting the cup on a table behind it.
"We have plenty of stuff here in case of a complete lockdown, so don't worry about the smoothie." The doctor stated.
"Anyway, we should get you checked out by one of the doctors to see how your body is adapting to the superpower stabilizers, or the SS's."
"STOP WITH THE ACRONYMS!" Shrieked Jasmine startling the doctor and the boy.
"Maybe I should take you to the doctors and let Jasmine and Ash talk." The woman said to Aiden as she motioned to the door.
"Someone's being over dramatic." Aiden sang as he left with the doctor. After the door closed the boy looked at Jasmine, he slowly stood up and reached for her hand. Instinctively, Jasmine pulled her hand away looked down at her trembling hands.
"Don't. Touch. Me." Jasmine whispered, walking back to the couch.
"Why are you so mad!" Ash yelled, swiftly walking in front of Jasmine.
"Why can't you be more open like Aiden, he so easily adjusts. Why can't you be nicer and mo-." Ash stopped mid sentence looking down at Jasmine who was sobbing quietly. She had her head in her hands and her whole body was shaking. After a minute a tissue tapped her hand and Jasmine slowly brought her hands down and took it.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't compare you to him. You are obviously your own person and taking a bit longer to understand is reasonable." Ash said, his voice sweet like caramel.
"Thanks, I will try to 'adapt' a bit faster." Jasmine sniffled wiping her nose. Ash held out his hand, and this time Jasmine took it. He slowly pulled her to her feet and led her out of the room.
"We should probably get going to the doctor, Miss Celeste is waiting." Ash said
"Who is that?" Jasmine asked
"The doctor we are seeing of course." Ash opened the door and stopped
"Ladies first." He said smiling as they exited.
