Can't I Fit In Anywhere?

Chapter 27

The rest of the week went by alright, definitely.

If the definition of alright to you was to have Anti be a pain, nearly had another panic attack, and almost getting in a fight with Aaron.

Overall, the week was great.

The positive thing now that the week was over was that I got to help Tina and Tony activate their Runes and use them. Sure, it's harder with Tina, since she changes into different animals (yay), instead of conjuring up an element like almost all the Runes.

Luke and I talked a bit too. I still haven't said anything about the portal yet, and I'm getting a little nervous. I remember quite well what happened last time, I didn't need that happening to someone else, especially since they probably never went through that type of portal. Sure, there was that mirror last year, but that's different.

It's hard to explain, but it is. More of a gut feeling than anything.

Oh ya, and if the portal gets too unstable it could rip apart all the dimensions in the universe, so there is that too! Maybe I should be more worried about that, but hey, I've had my life on the line way too many times to be considered normal.

Way too many.

Also, I trust Luke to keep the world from ending. He knew that portal inside out, just as I do. If anything needs done, I can trust Uni will reach out for help.

I still haven't told Tina yet though, so once she finds out, I may be in the ventilation for a bit to escape her wrath. She hasn't changed at all since I last seen her, though it seems like Tori is the only one besides me that is able to persuade her from doing something when she's angry.

Thank god too, I was scared she was going to tear Aaron to shreds when he tossed a comment out at us. I don't care for him too much, but dear god I was scared for his life then.

I was in the lab, and it's Saturday.

Basically I was asked to help Petra watch the screens for the tubes. Ya know, the ones that activate the Runes. Petra did say he would've grabbed a teacher, except they all had plans. Amelia was going some experiment with fluoroantimonic acid, and I was basically told that under no circumstances I could go in that room with her.

'That amount of danger you can be in just from in that room is extreme Ryan, that's why you may not go in.' Petra told him.

'That's why it's fun!' Amelia chirped out, dressed in about twenty pounds of protective clothing.

'Under no circumstances! I could be dying, and you still will not go in there.' Petra continued on.

I decided to not tell them that I've been around it before, and made some too. I didn't know what I was making with Uni at the time; It was when I was just getting into the math and science things. Luke was so happy once he realized I knew what he was saying.

~~~Flashback~~~

Unicorn stood in front of a large beaker, which was connected to tubes and those where connected to other tubes. I sat on a couch off to the side. Unicorn asked if I could just be down there, just in case something went wrong.

I didn't mind. I like being down there, listening to all the things Luke mumbles out as he did his experiment. "Hey, Ryan." Unicorn called out to me. He was attaching a clear tube to a beaker with this green liquid in it. "Can you grab me the fluoroantimonic acid?"

"Alright." I hopped off the couch and went to the nearby shelves to find the acid.

I found the bottle quickly, because of a few things. One, it was a metal bottle, and it had the scull and crossbones taped to it, next to its chemical formula, H ₂FSbF ₆. Not giving it a second thought, even though I knew how dangerous it was, I grabbed it. "Wait!" Unicorn suddenly said.
