The next morning, SCP-GU411 awakens to the smell of food being prepared. He sits up to see Iris standing at her stove.

Iris looks back at him with a smile. "Are you hungry?"

"Starving, thanks!" SCP-GU411 replies, standing.

"It is not often I have guests.. other than a researcher or Jennifer." Iris turns back and removes two omelets from a skillet, placing them on separate plates.

They sit to eat, while Iris occasionally glances up from her plate in the direction of Rocky. 

He becomes increasingly annoyed by this, finally finishing his omelet, he quickly and raggedly stands. "I should get going. There is no telling what the foundation has planned for me next."

"Okay. Have a good day." Iris says as she continues to eat, still glancing at him as he heads to the door. A smile grows on her face.

SCP-GU411 stops and looks back. "I.. didn't.. say anything yesterday.. did I?"

Iris finishes chewing and sallows, whipping her fork around in the air. "Something about saving the world."

SCP-GU411 turns fully around to face her. "What?"

Iris waves her fork in a shuing motion. "Probably just a delirious state brought on by the anesthesia!" She winks.

SCP-GU411 crosses his arms, leaning against a wall. "I am immune to telepathy, but a woman, with no such abilities, gleans information from me?!"

"You weren't serious, were you?" Iris asks, still thinking it was a joke.

SCP-GU411 groans.

Iris points her fork at him. "Oh my God! You are serious!" She chuckles, setting down her plate and fork.

SCP-GU411 slowly walks back to her. "Please don't tell anyone."

Iris slowly stands, looks at him skeptically. "Are you legitimately serious?"

"Yes." SCP-GU411 says softly.

Iris moves closer, placing her hand slowly to his chest. "You.." She looks up into his eyes longingly. 

Before he knows what happened, he is on his back looking up at the ceiling.

Iris leans over him. "You let your guard down, Rocky."

He blinks a few times, still not sure how he ended up on the floor. "What.. how..?"

"How do you think I managed to get out of Abel's last rampage alive? I was one step ahead of him thanks to the training the foundation gave me." She extends her hand to help SCP-GU411 up. "Which included hand to hand combat training. You want to save the world? You will have to rely on more than just strength."

SCP-GU411 outstretches his hand, lightly brushing against Iris' arm. "Iris.. I...."

She shakes her head. "You should go.. before people start.. talking."

Suddenly SCP-GU411 pulls Iris down and rolls on top of her. "Got you!"

"A girl could get the wrong idea here.. really easily." Iris says looking up at him.

"Or that might be the right idea!" SCP-GU411 smiles.

Iris glares at him. "Dude, you might be invulnerable, but I will still kick you in the balls."

SCP-GU411 stands quickly, helping her up. "No! I was showing that I could catch you off guard too!"

Iris laughs. "Relax! I wasn't actually going to nut shot you!" She smirks at him. "You get easily flustered too. Look! Your face is so red!"
